Reunion, and Turnabout - Transcript - Part 1



That was... no accident...

I was drugged... with sleeping pills...

I was murdered... by that person...

That's why... I took... my revenge...

It's only fair... Isn't it... ...Ini?

-

Maya: I finally get to see you again, and...

Phoenix: It's not your fault. You didn't do it.

Maya: No, I... I did it... I killed that person.

Phoenix: But that wasn't you.

Maya: It doesn't matter. It might as well have been me.

Phoenix: (I can't believe something like this happened...The events of that gloomy, rainy afternoon that started this whole mess...keep playing through my mind...)

June 16, 3: 34 PM Wright & Co. Law Offices

???: What depressing rain...Do you understand how depressed that makes me!? Do you!?

Phoenix: Uh, I guess...

???: But actually, more than being depressed, I'm angry. Angry at that weather girl on TV. "I think our little rainy spell will take a break with a day of sun!"...is what that girl said! I'd stake my life on it!

Phoenix: Well, it's the weather...

???: But that's why I didn't bother to bring an umbrella today. What nerve, calling herself a weather girl! She's going to hear about my $1500 suit!

Phoenix: Um... About your case...Unless you're planning on suing the weather girl...?

???: ... I'm sorry. I thought that before we got down to business, we could have some friendly chatter. My name is Dr. Turner Grey. I'm a surgeon.

Phoenix: (Remind me never to end up under his knife...)

Grey: I'm here today because of this incident.

Phoenix: "Malpractice at Grey Surgical Clinic. Fourteen In-Patients Lose Their Lives!" ...Oh. You're... the doctor at...?

Grey: It's really quite upsetting. Did you hear me!? UPSETTING!

Phoenix: Yes, yes, I heard you. I agree, it's quite upsetting, Dr. Grey.

Grey: The one that screwed up was that nurse! It was her that got the medications mixed up and killed those 14 patients! And yet! Now listen good! And yet! That nurse had the nerve to go and die before admitting to her wrongdoing! She didn't even offer any sort of explanation to me! And this is the kicker! She up and has herself a grand ol' accident and crashed her car! Smash! Crunch! Instantly transforming her car into the accordion model!

-

Phoenix: (That's right... About a year ago, all the tabloid shows were talking about it. Fourteen victims of medical malpractice and the nurse's mysterious fatal accident. There were rumors that Dr. Grey had actually caused that crash. People said it was to forever hide the person responsible for the malpractice incident.)

-

Grey: Why would I...? Now, I'm just going to say this once -- Why on Earth would I want to kill that nurse? She's the one who killed those 14 patients! Not me!

Phoenix: I think you need to take a deep breath, doctor, and focus... More to the point, this case is over a year old. Why bring it up now...?

Grey: That's simple! Because the situation is slipping out of my grasp. This just won't do. My clinic isn't seeing nearly as many patients nowadays. Do you understand what that means!? It means they're not coming to my clinic!

Phoenix: (You don't say...? If it were me, I don't think I'd want to go either.) So... what would you like me to do about it...?

Grey: I want you to help me prove I'm innocent.

Phoenix: Um, you do realize I'm a lawyer, not a private investigator, right?

Grey: No, this is something only you can do.

Phoenix: ...?

Grey: Maya Fey. You know this girl, correct?

Phoenix: ...! (Maya! Why would he know her name...!?)

Grey: I heard you were working under her for a little while.

Phoenix: Well, yes... I mean... Hey, wait a second here! I worked UNDER her!?

Grey: Yes. Am I wrong? She told me, so I'm not quite sure if...

Phoenix: Well, we worked a few trials together. But she went back to her hometown to undergo more training.

Grey: Ah, yes, I heard. It must be lonely for you.

Phoenix: Wh-What!? Wait... I'm not...!

Grey: She must be an extraordinary girl to handle such rigid training.

Phoenix: Huh?

Grey: I have an acquaintance who knows a lot about these mystical sorts of things. She's the one who introduced me to Ms. Fey.

Phoenix: (Is Maya... really that famous...?)

Grey: And I've already set up an appointment.

Phoenix: For what?

Grey: What else!? A channeling! I'm going to have her call the spirit of that nurse that went and got herself killed!

Phoenix: O-Oh. (Maya... I wonder what she's up to right now...)

-

Maya: We, the women of the Fey family, have always been spirit mediums. It's because the power to communicate with spirits flows strongly through us.

Phoenix: (That's what she told me...I guess she's learned to accept her responsibilities and become an adult...)

-

Grey: Not counting training, this will be her first time channeling a spirit, so she gave me one condition before accepting my request.

Phoenix: A condition...?

Grey: The condition is you, Mr. Wright. She said that she wouldn't do the channeling without first seeing you again.

Phoenix: Me...?

Grey: And that is why I've searched you out! You want to see her too, don't you!?

-

Phoenix: (And so... that is how I ended up visiting Maya's hometown with the doctor...)

-

June 19, 1:25 PM Kurain Village

Phoenix: (So this is Kurain Village; Maya's hometown.)

???: ...

Phoenix: W-Why, hello there.

???: ...

Phoenix: Hmm... What an odd little girl.

???: Hey! Wait up, Pearly!!

Phoenix: (Hm? Someone else is coming this way...)

???: Niiiiiiiick!

Phoenix: M-Maya. How are you...? It's good to see you again.

Maya: Wow, I didn't think you'd really show up!

Phoenix: It's not that big a deal. You made it sound like you were soooo far away.

Maya: Well, maybe I exaggerated... just a little.

Phoenix: It was only 2 hours by train. If I had known you were this close, I'd have visited more.

Maya: No! You're not allowed. I already decided, you know. Until I become an adult, I have to work hard and be strong by myself...

Phoenix: Oh... well... Anyway, congratulations. I'm glad to hear training is going well for you.

Maya: Heh, heh...

Maya: Well, Nick, I've got to get going. It's about time for the channeling to start.

Phoenix: Huh? Oh, yeah...

Maya: I'm doing the channeling in my house, so come on in, OK? After I'm done, we can grill up some juicy burgers!

Phoenix: Alright. Good luck, Maya.

Maya: Thanks!

Phoenix: (Well... At least she's still the same perky Maya.)

June 19 Fey Manor Meditation Room

Grey: Ah, Mr. Wright. I'm so glad you showed.

Phoenix: Some nice weather we're having today. Aren't you happy?

Grey: No, not at all.

Grey: That stupid weather girl made the wrong call again.

Grey: "It will rain cats and dogs today!" she said with a straight face.

Grey: I can't believe they allow such misguided reports on the public airwaves!

Phoenix: (Looks like talking about the weather with this guy is just asking for punishment...)

Grey: ...But anyway, this is a splendid manor.

Phoenix: (No argument there... It's hard to believe that this is Maya's house, though...)

Grey: I was give a guidemap to this building.

Grey: Here, Mr. Wright. I have a copy for you too.

Guidemap added to the Court Record.

June 19 Fey Manor Channeling Chamber

Phoenix: (Wow... It's such a strange atmosphere in here...)

Phoenix: (These flickering lights... I guess they're candles...)

???: Good sir! Who might you be...?

Phoenix: Aaah! I-I'm, uh, my name is Phoenix Wright...

???: Oh... You must be that good sir...

Phoenix: ("Good sir"...? Is she talking about me?)

???: You are a lawyer, are you not, good sir?

???: I have heard much about you from Mystic Maya.

Phoenix: Is that so? ("Mystic" Maya...?)

???: I am Mystic Maya's aunt, Morgan Fey.

Phoenix: N-Nice to meet you.

Morgan: Ah, I had wanted to speak with you about a certain incident, good sir.

Morgan: It would seem that perhaps you ask too much of Mystic Maya in performing your duties.

Morgan: Most unbecoming, I'm afraid.

Phoenix: Huh?

Morgan: Don't tell me you have already forgotten?

Morgan: That was it not for Mystic Maya and her assistance, you would surly [sic] not have won...

Phoenix: (First a girl that runs away, and now an old lady who says I stink at doing my job...)

Phoenix: (When did I become the poster boy for "How Not to Make a First Impression"...?)

Morgan: The past is the past though. Let's us speak of the present now.

Phoenix: ...Ah, thank you...

Morgan: ...

Morgan: Oh, yes.

Morgan: I wonder if you have yet to meet Pearl, good sir.

Phoenix: Pearl?

Morgan: She is an adorable, angelic young girl.

Phoenix: Oh, that odd...

Morgan: She is my daughter. Now then, what was it you were about to say...?

Phoenix: Wh-What a cute daughter you have... Ahaha...

Morgan: A pure heart that knows not of the evils in this world is a powerful thing, good sir.

Morgan: Please refrain from affiliating with her, I request.

Phoenix: (Well, it's not like I had the chance to anyway...)

Morgan: I must insist and stress that you not let it occur.

Phoenix: Okay, okay, I get it!

June 19 Fey Manor Winding Way

Phoenix: (Wow. This garden is really breath-taking. Someone put a lot of love into it.)

Phoenix: (What is that over there...? ...Is that an incinerator?)

Phoenix: (It looks a little out of place in a garden like this...)

-

June 19 Fey Manor Side Room

Phoenix: (So this is... the Side Room. Looks like it's more of a break room.)

Phoenix: (There is bedding spread out on the floor. It looks like someone's sleeping in one.)

Phoenix: (I shouldn't disturb them...)

-

Winding Way

???: Hey! You! Hold on, now! This gal's got a few questions to ask!

Phoenix: (Hmm... I'm sure I've heard that southern accent somewhere before...)

???: Oh, well I'll be! It's Mr. Phoenix Wright!

???: How ya been!? Haven't seen you in, what, a year!?

Phoenix: Um... You... are... uh...

Lotta: Oh, that's right!

Lotta: This ain't no time to be wastin' time!

Lotta: The channeling's about to get started!

Phoenix: Is it that time already!?

Lotta: We all should hurry up and get to the Meditation Room.

Lotta: ...What are you waiting around for!? Come on!

Phoenix: (Lotta Hart, huh?)

Phoenix: (I've been judging her harshly because of that case,)

Phoenix: (but, I guess looking back, we had some good times, too...)

-

June 19 Fey Manor Meditation Room

Morgan: We will now begin the channeling.

Morgan: Mystic Maya and honored guest, please proceed into the Channeling Chamber.

Grey: With this, I can finally swat all those pesky flies, once and for all!

Grey: You hear me!? They won't be able to say a single bad thing about me after this!

Grey: You would love to hear them apologize, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you, Mr. Wright!?

Phoenix: Me!? Oh, uh, yeah, I sure would.

Morgan: Mystic Maya, do you have the Channeling Chamber key?

Maya: Yup, right here.

Morgan: That is most satisfactory.

Morgan: That key is one-of-a-kind, so please take care of it well.

Maya: It'll be fine, Aunt Morgan. I won't lose it, trust me!

Maya: OK, Dr. Grey. Let's get started.

Grey: Finally! Let's go!

-

*click*

Morgan: Now let us wait patiently out here for them.

Morgan: Please have some lovely bitter green tea and jaw-droppingly large strawberry desserts...

Lotta: Hold on, now, granny!

Morgan: ...Granny?

Lotta: How come we ain't allowed in that room!?

Morgan: Dear madam, you have an "impressive" grasp of English. From where did you learn it?

Lotta: What!? I'm from the heart of the heartland!

Morgan: Is that so? Then I humbly request that you return to this "Heart of the Heartland".

Lotta: Wh-What are ya...?

Morgan: This is Kurain Village.

Morgan: If you can not follow our traditions and rules, we request that you leave!

Lotta: ...!

Lotta: ... Sorry.

Phoenix: (Wow. She shut Lotta up! Now THAT's impressive!)

Morgan: Now then, let us wait.

-

*BANG*

Lotta: Hey now! Wh-What was that just now!?

Phoenix: (It came from inside the Channeling Chamber...)

*BANG*

Lotta: Hey! Th-That's a gunshot!

Morgan: E-Excuse me!?

Lotta: I've heard that sound before. It's a gunshot! I'd bet my afro on it!

Phoenix: (M-Maya! Maya's in there!)

Lotta: Yeah! Now that's what I call being a man!

*SLAM*
 * SLAM*
 * CRASH!*

-

Phoenix: D-Dr. Grey!!

* klik*

???: ...I...

???: ...I was... murdered...

Phoenix: M-Maya?

???: That man... ...murdered me...

???: ...so I killed... him...

Phoenix: Wh-What!?

* klik*

Phoenix: Lotta! At a time like this!?

Lotta: Times like this are perfect for snapping up shots!

Lotta: But anyway... what's going on here!? This gal... Is she... ...Maya!?

Step away from there!

Morgan: Please leave this area to me.

Morgan: Go quickly and inform the police!

Phoenix: But, but...

Morgan: Hurry! Before there are more victims here!

Lotta: Hey, let's go, City Boy! Leave this to the granny!

-

June 19 Kurain Village

Phoenix: (My cell phone doesn't get reception way out here...)

Phoenix: (So I ended up using the phone booth to call the police...)

Lotta: And...?

Phoenix: They're on their way.

Lotta: That's good. Lawdy, I saw a genuine "mysterious phenomenon"...

Phoenix: (She seems really on edge because of all this...)

Phoenix: (Not that I blame her... I'm scared to death by what's going on...)

June 19 Fey Manor Meditation Room

Morgan: Ah, Mr. Wright.

Phoenix: Ms. Fey! How's, um... Mystic... Maya?

Morgan: She has returned to "this world". The Spirit Severing Technique was successful.

Phoenix: Let me see her, please!

Morgan: She is still unconscious. I humbly request that you wait outside for her recovery.

Phoenix: (Guess I just have to wait... *sigh*)

Gumshoe: The police are here! Sorry to keep you waiting!

Gumshoe: Huh? ...You again!?

Phoenix: What are you doing all the way out here, Detective Gumshoe?

Gumshoe: It's actually kinda funny. I was in the area for a business trip, pal.

Gumshoe: Well, time to check out the crime scene.

Gumshoe: I'll have to question everyone here later on,

Gumshoe: so just sit tight, alright?

Phoenix: (Why is he grinning at me...?)

Morgan: Shall I show you to the scene of the crime, Detective Gymshoe?

Gumshoe: Um... My name isn't Gymshoe...

Phoenix: (The two of them went into the Channeling Chamber...)

Phoenix: (I guess all I can do for now is see what everyone else has to say...)

-

June 19 Kurain Village

Lotta: ...

Phoenix: (She's probably scared out of her wits after having a murder take place right near her.)

Phoenix: Lotta?

Lotta: GAWDDON'TLETITBEMENEXT!

Phoenix: Eek! Don't scare me like that!

Lotta: What do you mean!? Yer the one scaring me!

Lotta: If I weren't so tough, you'd have another dead body on yer hands -- mine!

Phoenix: (I don't know who's scarier... Lotta or the spirits...)

Phoenix: (And why does it feel like we've been through this before...?)

-

June 19 Fey Manor Channeling Chamber

Phoenix: (The police are busily running here and there,)

Phoenix: (and I don't see Maya anywhere...)

Gumshoe: H-Hey, you! Don't touch anything!

Phoenix: Look, I really need to ask you some questions!

Gumshoe: Umm... Don't look at me like I'm some sort of uncaring jerk...

Gumshoe: Tell you what, pal. I'll let you ask me a few questions, alright?

Phoenix: But Maya is...

Ini: Um... At the college, I'm researching and studying "parapsychology".

Phoenix: "Parapsychology"?

Ini: That's right.

Ini: Um... I think people, like, usually call it, "occult studies" or something.

Ini: Like supernatural phenomenon, ESP and psychic powers. That sort of stuff.

Ini: Cause, like, talking to dead people and, like, multiple personalities are my thing...

Ini: Like... I wasn't feeling good.

Phoenix: Huh?

Ini: I'm, like, allergic to sesame seeds.

Morgan: That is a terrible shame.

Morgan: I propose that everyone sleep here under the roof of the Fey Manor tonight.

Phoenix: Calm down, Maya! Take deep breaths.

Phoenix: (Come to think of it, the first time I met her...)

Phoenix: (It all started right here, in this detention center...)

Maya: I finally...

Maya: I finally get to see you again, and...

Phoenix: It's not your fault. You didn't do it.

Maya: No, I... I did it... I killed that person.

Phoenix: But that wasn't you.

Maya: It doesn't matter. It might as well have been me.

Maya: I was too weak... and I... I couldn't control the spirit's power, so...

Maya: Manfred von Karma. He was a really sinister man.

Maya: He pulled all sorts of nasty tricks; all so he could win.

Phoenix: ... (What is with this girl...?)

Judge: ...

Judge: * Ahem!* Mr. Wright!! Are you finally prepared!?

Phoenix: Huh?

Phoenix: A-Ah, yes, Your Honor. (Why does he always seem mad at me!?)

???: Mr. Phoenix Wright.

Phoenix: ...!

???: You must be a little shocked because I am a woman, correct?

Phoenix: (...Hold on. So this kid is the "famed" Prosecutor von Karma...?)

von Karma: I am Franziska von Karma, the Prodigy.

Phoenix: I... see...

von Karma: I gave up a promising career in Germany and came to this country for one sole reason.

von Karma: Revenge.

Phoenix: Revenge...? (Is this about her father, Manfred von Karma...?)

Judge: Um... If it's something of a personal nature, I'm sure you can...

Judge: Oww!

von Karma: I'm talking.

von Karma: If you interrupt again, my whip will do the speaking for me.

Phoenix: (Please speak with your mouth like a normal person... I beg of you...)

Phoenix: Yeow!!

von Karma: Make no mistake; I will defeat you!

von Karma: Prepare to go down, Mr. Phoenix Wright!

Judge: Prosecutor von Karma, your opening statement, please...

von Karma: Those of Von Karma blood have only one fate.

von Karma: And that is "perfection".

von Karma: The defendant, Maya Fey, will find no escape from her guilt on my watch.

Judge: V-Very well... What is the defense's position?

Phoenix: Your Honor.

Judge: Does the defense wish to enter a plea of "not guilty"?

Phoenix: ...Yes.

von Karma: Foolish fool who foolishly dreams of foolish dreams...

von Karma: Ten minutes. I give the defense ten minutes before it changes its plea.

von Karma: That's right. I'll have you running for the "justified self-defense" plea in no time.

Phoenix: ("Justified self-defense"...)

Phoenix: (A plea usually reserved for when a person unintentionally kills in defense of himself.)

Phoenix: (We could very easily make a solid case that it was self-defense, but...)

Phoenix: The defense stands by the plea of "not guilty", Your Honor!

Phoenix: (Because to plead "justified self-defense" is to say you did kill someone.)

von Karma: How foolish.

von Karma: If that's how you want to play it, Mr. Phoenix Wright,

von Karma: then I shall now call the first witness.

Phoenix: (She's just as scary as her father. Like father, like daughter I suppose.)

-

von Karma: Witness, your name andoccupation?

Gumshoe: Yes, sir! My name is Dick Gumshoe. I'm a detective at the local precinct.

Gumshoe: Aah!!

von Karma: Get to the point already.

von Karma: Explain to the court the details of this murder.

Gumshoe: Y-Yes, sir! Um, if everyone would please look at this map.

Gumshoe: The Channeling Chamber has no windows and the door was locked shut.

Gumshoe: At the time of the murder, only the victim and the defendant were in the room.

Judge: What were they doing in there?

Gumshoe: Um... They... Well, they were channeling... a spirit... Sir.

Judge: Ch-Channeling a spirit??

Phoenix: (The look of disbelief on the judge's face is...)

Gumshoe: * ahem* Anyway, a few minutes after the channeling started,

Gumshoe: gunshots were heard coming from inside the room, sir.

Gumshoe: A few of the witnesses broke the door down, and rushed into the room.

Judge: Ah, and that's when they found that the victim was already dead, correct?

Judge: Hmm, I believe this is one of the most open and shut cases I have ever presided over.

Floor Plans added to the Court Record.

Judge: So, how was the victim killed?

Gumshoe: I was about to get to that...

von Karma: Stop wasting my time, then.

Witness Testimony

-- Cause of Death --

Gumshoe: The direct cause of death was a pistol shot to the forehead, sir. Gumshoe: The shot was fired from point-blank range. Gumshoe: But before the victim was shot, sir, he was stabbed in the chest. Gumshoe: The wound was very severe, but not enough to cause instantaneous death. Gumshoe: The murderer used the pistol to finish the victim off after the stabbing.

Judge: So the victim was stabbed before being shot...

Phoenix: This little hole has actually created a huge hole in your testimony!

Judge: E-Explain yourself, Mr. Wright!

Phoenix: You said the two of them were fighting when the victim fired his gun at point blank.

Phoenix: If that were true, then where is the gunpowder burn on this costume!?

Gumshoe: G-Gunpowder... burn?

Phoenix: This is what you testifiedearlier:

Phoenix: "When something is shot from point blank, a burn area is left around the bullet hole."

Gumshoe: OH!

Phoenix: But there is not a single trace of gunpowder burn on this costume!!

Judge: That is a very good point.

Phoenix: It means that when the shot was fired, they were standing apart from each other.

von Karma: I'm disappointed, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

von Karma: You think you can punch a hole in my logic with that?

von Karma: With wishy-washy thinking like that, anyone can explain anything away!

Phoenix: Then I implore you to disprove my line of thinking.

von Karma: Let's see...

von Karma: In the middle of their fight, the victim pushed the defendant away.

von Karma: And it was then, when they were separated, that he fired! How was that?

Phoenix:

Phoenix: As if that was even possible.

Phoenix: According to testimony, the wound from the stabbing was very severe.

Phoenix: The victim would not have had the strength to push the defendant very far after that!

von Karma: ...!

von Karma: W-Well... Then...

von Karma: That's right! The defendant must have pushed the victim away!

von Karma: After stabbing him, she must have put some space between the doctor and herself.

von Karma: And then while she was preparing to strike again, the doctor took his shot.

von Karma: There. That sound satisfy even you.

Judge: Hmm... That does make an awful lot of sense.

Judge: Now then, this court would like to end the cross-examination period.

Phoenix:

Phoenix: Please wait, Your Honor!

Judge: Overruled.

Judge: I'm afraid you're too late, Mr. Wright. The cross-examination has already ended.

Judge: Furthermore, any unrelated ques-

von Karma: It's fine. I'll allow another testimony.

von Karma: A Von Karma's case is perfect. Absolutely flawless.

von Karma: And what better time than this for you to see that.

Judge: B-But... I mean... I have some place I must go after this...

Judge: Mmph! A-Al-Alright! I'll allow it!

Judge: Ms. Hart! Hurry and give us another testimony!

Lotta: Well... heck... What am I supposed to talk about?

Phoenix: Please tell us once more what happened when you burst into the Channeling Chamber.

Lotta: OK! You got it!

Witness Testimony

-- Witness' Account, Pt.2 --

Lotta: When we broke into that room, all I could focus on was Maya. Lotta: I was... uh, kinda scared of the dead body, so I didn't take a good look at it. Lotta: I'm really bad when it comes to blood and ghosts and stuff. Lotta: But I still managed to point my camera at Maya and take a shot!

-

Judge: Nothing sounds different from before...

Phoenix: (Some parts of her testimony were very vague.)

Phoenix: (I should press her on those sections!)

von Karma: Struggle all you like as you taste the bitterness of your defeat.

von Karma: Well, amuse me with your useless questions, Mr. Phoenix Wright. I'm waiting...

Judge: Maya Fey?

Judge: But... Isn't this a totally different person!?

Phoenix: You're welcome. I had to come and look into a few things here today anyway.

Pearl: Um... I thought about this a little.

Pearl: Yes, of course.

Pearl: But if she didn't... Then someone else did, right?

"While I was channeling, the key was sitting inside my sleeve."

And both this key and the piece of cloth were found inside the incinerator.

Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor.

von Karma: Mr. Phoenix Wright. I look forward to tonight's news with great joy.

von Karma: The image of your defeated face will be transmitted all over the world!

Mia: All over the world, huh? Sounds like you've made quite a name for yourself, Phoenix.

von Karma: Don't be foolish, you foolish fool wearing the foolishly foolish clothes.

von Karma: The famous one is me!

von Karma: Naturally, the world's eyes are on me, as I conduct my first trial in this country!

Mia: Uh, huh... That's nice, Ms. von Karma.

von Karma: Hmph. Glad to see you're in such good "spirits" today, Ms. Fey.

Phoenix: (Uhh... It's true what they say... Women really are scary when they fight... *gulp*)

Judge: Now then. A very interesting theory was presented during yesterday's session.

von Karma: That the defendant could have left the Channeling Chamber, correct?

Judge: Yes. And this key is proof of that.

Judge: This key, the only key to the Channeling Chamber, was not where it should have been.

von Karma: Your Honor, I would like to say one thing before we begin.

Judge: A-Alright... Let's hear it.

von Karma: The prosecution has determined that from the time of the murder to the time of arrest,

von Karma: the defendant did indeed leave the room at one point.

Phoenix: Wh-What!?

Judge: But... Ms. von Karma!

Judge: Then... How do you explain this picture?

Judge: Are you saying then, that the person in this picture is not the defendant...?

von Karma: I never said that wasn't the defendant.

Judge: Th-Then what is the meaning of this...?

von Karma: All I am saying is that Maya Fey, after killing the victim, exited the room.

von Karma: And I believe that is when she dropped this key.

Judge: Can you substantiate your claim?

von Karma: Isn't that what I'm here for?

von Karma: The prosecution would like to call the defendant's aunt, Morgan Fey, to the stand.

Mia: ...Just as I suspected. Aunt Morgan...

Phoenix: (Poor Mia... She seems really torn by this...)

-

von Karma: Witness. Name and occupation.

Morgan: My name is Morgan Fey, and I am a spirit medium, in a manner of speaking...

Judge: I'm sorry, but what do you mean, "in a manner of speaking"...?

Judge: Aaah!

von Karma: I don't think anyone really cares.

von Karma: Now then, after the murder took place, you kept watch over the defendant, correct?

Morgan: Yes, that is correct.

Morgan: I performed the Spirit Severing Technique on Mystic Maya then.

Judge: S-Spirit Severing Technique?

Morgan: A technique to remove a spirit from a body and send it back to the other world. That is...

Judge: Yes...? That is...?

Judge: Mmfph!

von Karma: You. Be quiet.

von Karma: Now, witness.

von Karma: Something happened while you were performing this technique, correct?

Morgan: ...Yes, that is correct.

Phoenix: Wh-What in the world could've...!?

Morgan: Mystic Maya... She escaped from the room...

Judge: Wh-What!?

von Karma: And here we come to the heart of the matter.

von Karma: Maya Fey, while in a possessed state, managed to escape from the Channeling Chamber!

Judge: Order! Order! Order!

Judge: Ms. Fey! Please testify to this court what happened during that time!

Morgan: Your Honor, I will try my best...

Mia: I think someone just upped the ante on this trial...

Witness Testimony

-- Maya's Escape --

Morgan: After we heard the gunshots, those two broke the door open and entered the Chamber. Morgan: I requested that Mr. Wright and the other lady please contact the police. Morgan: A pistol was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze... Morgan: Then, quite suddenly, she thrusted me away from herself and escaped from the room. Morgan: With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while... Morgan: I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that.

-

Phoenix: Why have you hidden this until now!?

Morgan: I... I did not wish to cause more trouble for Mystic Maya.

Morgan: However... I must correct falsities when they arise.

von Karma: That's right. She is simply correcting a falsity, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

Phoenix: (Why is she making it a point to take a stab at me... Never mind.)

Judge: Mr. Wright, your cross-examination, please.

Judge: A-Are you saying that the spirit was the spirit of this witness' sister!?

von Karma: Yes, Mimi Miney. She was a nurse at Dr. Grey's clinic.

Judge: Oh... W-Well... This is...

von Karma: Witness.

Ini: Like, yeah?

von Karma: In your testimony, you mentioned a "terrible" thing.

Phoenix: ...Mia! What do you mean?

Mia: It's well constructed... but that's all it is.

Mia: But even the most well-spun lies can be undone.

Mia: We can do it, Phoenix. Let's find that one loose thread and unwind this tapestry of lies.

Phoenix: Your Honor! There is room for doubt, so the defense will cross-examine this witness.

Phoenix: It looks like you still don't understand.

Phoenix: ...First, she drugged Maya Fey with a strong sleeping agent.

Phoenix: Then, she stabbed Dr. Grey with the knife!

Phoenix: Next, she hid my client inside the clothing box...

* bang!*

Phoenix: Dr. Grey was actually not yet dead!

Phoenix: With the last of his strength, he fired a shot at his attacker!

Maya: ...Is it really true... about my aunt...?

Phoenix: I'm afraid so, Maya. There is no way Ini could've killed Dr. Grey by herself.

Phoenix: And under the circumstances, there's no one else other than your aunt, Morgan.

Maya: That... That's terrible... Why? Why would my aunt...?

Everything is going just as I predicted, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

Phoenix: Ack! Ms. von Karma!

Maya: Why are you doing this!? Why are you trying to take revenge on Nick!?

Maya: Nick had nothing to do with what happened to your dad.

von Karma: Don't you have something better to be worrying about?

von Karma: Say, your own situation?

Maya: Ugnn... ...Looking down on me, even though we're the same age...

Phoenix: Are you done yet? You've cause me enough pain and suffering.

von Karma: Not yet.

von Karma: My goal is to defeat you, and let the whole world know of your defeat.

Phoenix: ...But even if you do that, it won't bring your father back...

Judge: Court will now reconvene. Mr. Wright.

Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor?

Judge: Can you prove Ms. Ini Miney had a motive?

Phoenix: Yes, I believe I can.

Phoenix: (Ini Miney and Dr. Grey have only one point of connection.)

Phoenix: (And that is the car accident one year ago. The motive I'm looking for must be there...)

Phoenix: Ms. Miney. Please testify to this court about your car accident last year.

Ini: Huh? I thought, like, you wanted to, like, ask about my, like, motive.

Ini: I, like, don't see the point in, like, bringing up the past.

Judge: Ms. Miney, if you please.

Judge: Yes, and there was talk about Dr. Grey... drugging your sister...?

Judge: Gwuugh!

von Karma: Those were merely "rumors". ...Totally baseless gossip.

Judge: Hmm, yes... Mr. Wright, you may question the witness.

Mia: Right now, it's impossible to prove

Mia: that Dr. Grey did in fact drug Ms. Miney's sister.

von Karma: And one more for good measure!

Mia: Ph-Phoenix! Hang in there, Phoenix!! PHOENIX!!!

von Karma: This court is a fraud! A sham!

Judge: ...Now then,

Judge: it looks like it will be some time before Mr. Wright regains consciousness...

Judge: so I will go ahead and pronounce the verdict.

Not Guilty

Judge: That is all. This court is adjourned!

June 22, 3:13 PM District Court Defendant Lobby No. 3

Mia: Congratulations, Maya.

Maya: S-Sis!

Mia: It's good to see you, Maya... How are you doing?

Maya: Sis! Sis...

Maya: I-I didn't kill anyone, did I?

Mia: No, you didn't. It was all just a dream...

Mia: A really bad dream.

Maya: You know, sis...

Maya: In my dream, I smelled a really familiar scent.

Mia: A familiar scent...?

Maya: I was inside that clothing box, right?

Maya: That box...

Maya: That was the box you used to store your clothes in a long time ago...

Mia: That's right!

-

Phoenix: Hmm... There is still one thing I don't quite get.

Mia: What's that?

Phoenix: What would've happened if Mimi hadn't shot Dr. Grey...?

Phoenix: I mean, we broke in because we heard a gunshot.

Mia: I think Mimi Miney had planned to open the door to the Chamber herself.

Mia: And then, you and Lotta would have witnessed quite a scene;

Mia: a "possessed" Maya Fey, who had just committed a murder.

Phoenix: She had it planned down to the smallest detail, huh...?

Maya: Nick!

Phoenix: Congrats, Maya.

Maya: Thanks!

Maya: Looks like you bailed me out of another jam.

Phoenix: Well... you know...

Maya: But...

Maya: I really don't want something like this to happen ever again.

Phoenix: ...?

Maya: I'm fine because I have you to help me out, Nick...

Maya: But every time something happens, I lose someone special to me.

Maya: First my sister... And now my aunt...

Phoenix: ...

Maya: Hey, Nick... Tell me...

Maya: Tell me why my aunt went and did something so horrible?

Maya: Why would she help Ms. Mimi with a plan like that...!?

Maya: I just... I just don't understand it, Nick...

Phoenix: Maya, it's over. Why don't we just let it be.

Maya: Nick, please, I need an answer...

Phoenix: (The reason Morgan helped Mimi with her plan was...)

Maya: ... Pearly?

Phoenix: Four years from now, a new Master will be "born" into Kurain Village.

Phoenix: And that person will be you, Maya.

Maya: A-And...?

Phoenix: But, if you weren't there...

Phoenix: then the main family's blood-line would disappear... And what would happen then...?

Maya: ...

Maya: ...The branch family... My aunt...

Phoenix: ...No, Morgan's spiritual power is too weak.

Phoenix: The next person would be... Pearls.

Maya: ...Aaaah!

Phoenix: Everything was done for her sake.

Phoenix: It was all so that Pearls would become the next Master.

Maya: Y-Yeah... I can see that... ...

Date and time unknown Detention Center Solitary Confinement Cell 13

...My... precious Pearl...

You are the only one suitable to be the Master of Kurain, dear child.

I sacrificed it all... All for you...

I helped that brainless nurse carry out her murder,

and cooperated with that whip-happy prosecutor...

It was all to unseat that annoying, witless main family girl...

That Maya Fey.

...But I shall be patient, my dearest Pearl... A chance will present itself...

Your time will come...
