Episode 5 Turnabout Ablaze

Two cards. One of the black raven... ...and one of the white raven. A country torn in two. One to the west... and one to the east. When those which were split are made whole again... ...the truth will reveal itself.

I-It's the Yatagarasu! The Yatagarasu's here!

Edgeworth: You... accursed Yatagarasu! Kay! You...!

March 14, 10:17 AM High Prosecutors' Offices Room 1202

Edgeworth: (It's so nice, almost dreamlike, to finally have the chance to relax and sip some tea. Especially after what a whirlwind the past few days have been.) On my return flight, I was dragged into a case involving an Interpol agent's murder. The next day, I investigated a kidnapping and a murder at the Gatewater Land theme park. And later that night, a detective's dead body welcomed me back to my office... ...along with a thief who was out to pilfer files related to a case from 10 years ago. (How did I manage to find myself in the middle of so many cases back to back? Well, at least I have today. All I ask is that I be allowed to spend it quietly.)

Kay: Mr. Edgewooooorth! This is big! Big, I tell you! ...Hey, what's wrong with you? Where's your enthusiasm...?

Edgeworth: And suddenly, the phrase "the fragility of dreams" comes to mind...

Kay: What are you talking about, "fragile dreams"!? Come on, let's go! The fake Yatagarasu isn't going to just find herself, you know!

Edgeworth: Well, if you must know... it's possible that I was paid a visit last night by your "fake".

Kay: Say what?

Edgeworth: .........

Edgeworth: Unfortunately for us, the thief managed to escape. But even now, we're still looking for this criminal. However, I must warn you that we've only had a few hours to search so far... ...so I must insist that you be patient on this one, Kay.

Kay: Wh-What's with you today...? Are you sure you aren't sleep-talking to me right now? Anyway, I've got something much more important that I want you to see!

Edgeworth: Oh, and that is?

Kay: Take a look at this!

Edgeworth: "On March 14th, I will be there to steal your dirtiest secret." That's quite a bold declaration to send to an embassy... (I suppose it was inevitable that a newspaper would catch wind of this.)

Kay: The date the card mentions is today!

Edgeworth: Today, huh...

Kay: Come on, we've gotta hurry! The embassy awaits!

Edgeworth: I suppose it IS quite an urgent matter... ...however, do you know which country's embassy we should be investigating?

Kay: Well, it's some really special country, and I'm actually really fuzzy on the details... But never mind that! Where's all your energy!? Why are you so lackadaisical today!?

Edgeworth: I'm not, Kay. You're just too wound up.

Kay: Well, then you should get too wound up, too! Because this just might be our chance to catch that woman!

Edgeworth: You mean Ms. Yew? (The woman who killed Kay's father, Byrne Faraday, seven years ago... Calisto Yew... She claimed to be the Great Thief Yatagarasu... ...and then disappeared from the courtroom.)

Kay: Argh! She makes me so mad! The phony! Everyone knows that the real Yatagarasu would never send something like a calling card! Until a company's underhanded dealings are made public... ...the target is always totally unaware that the Yatagarasu has paid them a visit. That's what makes the real Yatagarasu so awesome!

Edgeworth: Hmm... The Yatagarasu's card that's shown in this article... It looks to me as though it could be genuine.

Kay: See, that's the thing. Whoever it is, that person isn't the real deal, but has knowledge of the Yatagarasu. If this isn't a clue that that woman's involved, then nothing is! Come on, Mr. Edgeworth! Out the door you go!

Edgeworth: Wait, there are a few preparations I must make before we go... (There's something interesting about this card we found last night here in my office... It's of a different color than the one in the article, which makes me wonder why.)

Kay: What's up? Any reason why you're boring a hole through the newspaper with your eyes?

Edgeworth: No... No reason at all. Very well. Seeing as how Ms. Yew is also someone of a special nature to me... ...I agree there is some merit to be found in investigating this.

Kay: I knew you'd come around!
