Ace Attorney Page #5

Synopsis: This movie is based on the second and fourth cases in the popular video game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. The plot follows Phoenix Wright, a novice lawyer, who faces off against expert prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, who had a perfect win record. He defends Maya Fey, the sister of his deceased mentor, Mia Fey. The court system of the time dictates that the trial can only convene for a total of three days before a verdict must be reached. In the second case, Miles is charged with murder, and it is up to Phoenix to defend him against the best prosecutor of all time, as well as Miles' mentor, Manfred Von Karma, who has not lost a case in forty years! In order to resolve this case, Phoenix must look beyond the drama of the court room and search for clues left by Mia on a 15 years old case, the DL-6.

- Steel Samurai Chop!

- Ouch!

That sounds stupid.

When you set it up here,

little kids buy manjoos like they're under a spell or something

kids like her

Steel Samurai's hurt

Oh that?

I really had a hard time with that

Was it a few days back?

with this pump

I was gonna put air in this guy and

Whoa-!!

Nessie?

well this is Gourd Lake...

Gourdy?!

does that mean Gourdy is really just...

a deflated

Steel Samurai.... ?

Metal detector!

The Steel Samurai just flew off with the air tank still attached

I managed to find it with the help of this guy

May

This!

Suspect White

Eavesdropping on the client?

White's just a puppet

Hiding in the shadows

There's someone controling him...!

How about you start talking now!

Screw you!

Silence!

The person who reported the incident?

I thought I heard they went "missing" ?

It's impossible to escape from us

We summoned him as our new witness

He's the caretaker of the boat rental shop at Gourd Lake

Witness caretaker of the boat rental shop

Witness caretaker of the boat rental shop

Witness caretaker of the boat rental shop

State your name and occupation

Witness caretaker of the boat rental shop

...uh..

At the lake

I rent out boats

and sometimes if I feel like it, I ride in them

Witness

Please state your name too

The thing is..

????? ????

I'm not sure..

What do you mean?

Your Honour

This witness has no recollection of any memories prior to a few years ago

Objection! Objection!

He is not in any condition to testify

Ihe incident in

question took place three

days ago.

He can testify.

Very well

The defense's objection is overruled

It was

the night of the 24th,

just after midnight

Thank you

Right after I called the police

the boat comes back to shore,

and a man walks by my window.

It was the person right here

yes

It was probably really foggy that night

Can you be sure that it was Mr. Edgeworth that you saw?

Yes

It was definitely that fluttery guy

Yes that's right

He said, while fluttering

"Never thought I'd shoot someone"

yes

Objection!

I've never said such a thing

moreover...

I don't flutter to that extent!

Hey you're still fluttering

Silence!

Edgeworth, do not interrupt the testimony

Your Honor!

this testimony is...

too suspicious!

suspicious?

Well that's great

So

what are you basing that upon?

A basis?

and the evidence that backs it up?

Evidence...

Big sis

Mr. Wright

Help me...!

I'm guessing you have nothing?

No...

Hey wait...

Well, then

this is the end of the cross examination

Mr. Wright

we will deliever the verdict to Miles Edgeworth

Guilty!

Wait a minute-!!

- what is this person?

- who is that?

What.. what are you doing?

I:

just remembered today

the sound of gunshots!

gunshots?

Yeah

Judge!

He is a witness of the defendant

The defendant?

That's nonsense

the verdict has already been decided!

Dismiss the court!

Mr. Wright!

Of course,

It's our last chance

Your Honor!

As long as we have a witness

we must listen to the testimony.

That is unnecessary!

It's impossible to reverse a judgement!

Your Honour!

A verdict given without listening to all testimony is unacceptable!

Enough testimony was given to declare a verdict!

There's no problem here your honour

I'll tell you what I think

In any case or situation

An incorrect verdict should be avoided

I withdraw the guilty verdict just given.

Witness, please come to the stand

Yes!

Witness Larry Butz

Witness Larry Butz

You know I...

Witness Larry Butz

that night

was riding a boat

I was looking for something

and

after I found it

I secretly returned the boat to the rental house

and when I was about to go back home

I heard the sound

After that one gunshot

nothing happened

so I went back.

The gunshot you heard..

was only once?

That's what I'm telling you

But the other witnesses all heard it twice!

Are you sure you heard it correctly?

To tell you the truth

I'm not absolutely sure

Wha?!

Well you know

I:

listen to the radio and whatnot with my earphones

So

I might not have heard the other gun..

..shot

Hey!!

What's wrong with listening to the radio!?

It was Christmas Eve!

I wanted someone to whisper into my ears nicely!

Well the DJ was an old man with a horrible voice

He said "so in 30 minutes Christmas Eve is over"

"Coming up is everybody's favorite, 'Jingle Bells'"

"Check it out!"

Uhh he's just...

kidding around like that ~

Butz!

What you just said, you're certain of it?

Can't be wrong

Your Honor

He just testified

that when the DJ said "in 30 minutes Christmas Eve is over"

he heard the gunshot...

It was before midnight that he heard the gunshot

Up to now, all the witnesses

have heard the gunshot after midnight

This is clearly a different situation

Objection!

It's just an illusion

There was a photo taken

at the moment of the gunshot

Look

Both were taken after midnight

Objection!

Butz too

This witness is not mistaken

Take that!

The photo taken that night

There was one more photograph

There's nothing in this picture

It's not what has been photographed that's important

The question is...

why does this photograph exist in the first place?

The camera that took this photo

was set up to take pictures

in response to loud noises

Therefore!

The time when this photo was taken,

at 23:
30

There was a loud noise!

This matches the time the witness heard the gunshot

Objection!

Prosecutor von Karma!

The situation has already changed

What do you mean?

As this photo points to

There is the possibility that the actual time of the crime

was 23:
30

Then attorney

Mr. Wright

who is this man

that was on the boat with Miles Edgeworth?

Of course

disguised as the victim, Attorney Hammond

it was the real criminal

There is one person I suspect

as the real criminal in this case

But

I don't know their name

You don't know?

Because

he never said it

DL-6 Incident

Do not forget

Just before

I request a cross examination of the caretaker of the boat rental shop!

Order!

The witness from a few moments ago?

Well...

He's nowhere to be found

Uh..

It seems that left

What if he ran away?

The prosecution and the police

Will ensure the whereabouts and of the witness

Today's questioning ends here

Your honour

What happens..

if they can't find him?

Tomorrow is the last day of questioning

If that is the case the trial will continue on as is

Court is dismissed for today

Polly

That took awhile huh?

Mister Attorney!

Yes

We have made immediate arrangements

I will

find the caretaker ofthe boat rental shop

Thank you

Let's go!!

Excuse me!

Mister!

Mister!

Are you in there?!

I'm coming in!

Nobody's around

I smell something sweet

Maya?

This is dangerous

If we get caught it's gonna get complicated

Mr. Wright

Here

The plan of this murder case is all written here

Well that sounds like you

but with this some things are certain

Behind the case is a dark secret

yeah

Red White,

who killed Mia

He was instructed by somebody
