Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

My name is Phoenix Wright, attorney-at-law.

I've become somewhat well-known lately,

but I'm still only getting started.

I take the side of people accused of crimes they didn't commit and find the truth.

To defend the clients I believe in,

I take the courtroom again today.

That's enough!

This court sees no reason to further prolong the trial.

What? But I saw it!

There was another man! He's the real killer!

Why won't anyone believe me?!

I shall hereby hand down the verdict.

Guilty

Guilty!

It wasn't me!

New Year's cards?

The year's ending soon.

Come on, get to work and start writing.

Recipe for Turnabout — 1st Trial

We're sending handwritten cards?

Put your heart into it.

"Thank you for all your help until the end."

"Thank you for all your help until the end..."

What do you mean, "until the end"?

Why are you closing down the agency?

Ah...

Don't give me that.

Hey, pal!

Oh, it's Detective Gumshoe, pal.

Don't give me that, pal!

Look at this!

Deadly Poisoning Brings Guilty Verdict Defense Attorney Wright Trounced

"Deadly Poisoning Brings Guilty Verdict.

Defense Attorney Wright... Trounced"?!

Trounced

"The defense gave a childishly amateur performance.

Wright must take full responsibility for the ruling in this case"?

What the heck is this?!

All while I was away on an extensive wide-area search...

Oh, souvenirs for you.

Gee, thanks.

"Gee, thanks," my foot!

What's this all about?!

Don't ask me! I have no idea!

This issue is a month old.

But I wasn't involved in a poisoning case last month.

What could it mean?

If this wasn't you...

No way. Could it be...

A phony Nick?

What? A phony?!

Anyway!

You're coming with me to apologize to the defendant.

And you'll take the case back to court.

Now!

Why are you getting so worked up?

Well... You'll see when you meet the defendant.

You'd better take responsibility and defend her, okay?!

There he goes.

Well, if the client entrusted a case to "me" based on my reputation,

I guess I am kind of responsible.

And my impostor defended this client, huh?

Who could it be?

Traffic Safety: Manage Your Time and Your Heart

November 6, xx:xx PM Detention Center — Visitor's Room

Ah!

Mr. Wright!

Y-You're...

Maggey?

This is Maggey Byrde, a policewoman I defended once before.

She was accused of murdering her superior officer.

What are you doing in here? Didn't I get you acquitted?

Oh, now you've got jokes?

Maggey Byrde

After your fifth-rate defense job got me declared guilty?

Hold up! I can explain!

A ph-phony?!

I'm finding it hard to believe myself, to be honest.

Looking back now, I guess it was a little strange.

A little?

You were a bit taller than normal and looked a little bit shady.

Your voice was a bit weird, and you had this funny accent...

So the guy was nothing like me?

But he had your spiky hair and blue suit.

Yeah, that's Nick, all right.

Oh, come on.

Hey, Maggey, how come you're dressed like that?

After that incident, I quit the force and now work at a restaurant.

Wow, a restaurant?

Anyway, what happened?

This whole mess started last month.

There were two men at the restaurant, both drinking coffee.

And then...

One of the men slipped some poison into the other's cup.

The victim took just one sip and...

I was so shocked, I passed out.

Did you know the victim?

Not at all! I'd never even seen the guy before!

Then you wouldn't have had a motive to kill him.

The other man has to be the killer.

Why was Maggey convicted, then?

Because no one else saw.

Saw what?

The chief, and the other customer... Everyone testified that way.

"The victim was sitting alone at his table the whole time."

What?

And then they found a small bottle of poison in my apron pocket.

What? You had poison in your pocket?!

It wasn't mine, I swear!

The killer must've slipped it in when I was unconscious!

And you really did see this other man, right?

I'm dead sure! I was the one who took the coffee to the two men!

What was he like?

Well, when I first saw them, I thought they might be in the music industry.

The victim was focusing really hard on his earphone,

and there was a sample CD on the table.

Earphone and CD...

It had "MC"-something written on it with a marker.

Must've been a band preparing to debut.

Maybe it was "MC Screwdriver."

Don't just name them whatever you want.

Mr. Wright... Do you think it's possible to get a retrial?

The defense attorney was a phony.

We should be able to get a retrial.

My life's been a full course meal of bad luck, complete with defeat for dessert.

I've been hit by all sorts of vehicles, gotten sick from all sorts of foods,

been accused of murder a second time, and even landed a phony lawyer.

Curse you, Xin Eohp!

Don't glare at me.

But I will survive!

And one day, I'll find it!

An ordinary happiness for myself!

Maggey...

I understand.

Will you let me defend you, this time for real?

Mr. Wright!

I'm so glad! Please help me!

Whoever used my name to frame her for murder had better watch out.

Très Bien

Trés Bien, huh?

This place is something else.

What is with the suffocating scent of flowers in here?

Is nobody here?

Excu—

H-Hello...

Oh la la! Bonjour!

H-Hello...

Bienvenue!

Welcome to my petite restaurant!

Oh, la monsieur!

Y-Yes?

Look at z'is face! Like la puppy rejected by life itself!

You are fatigued, non?

Rejected

Alors! You need z'is!

Alors. If you will be seated, Monsieur Wright.

You know my name?

Mais, oui oui! I never forget a man who flirts wiz me! Especially in court!

Xin Eohp must've cross-examined him.

I'm Jean Armstrong, the chief here.

Enchanté!

No Entry

It was z'e third of last month. Just after one in z'e afternoon.

A man who was in 'ere for a coffee suddenly became ill.

Because of the poison in his coffee?

Zat's right. I was in la kitchen.

I 'eard z'e sound of someone collapsing and jumped out.

Maggey had passed out.

There should've been another man at that table.

Zat's what Maggey's saying.

Are you sure you didn't see anyone else?

Mon answer remains z'e same. There was no one else.

But that can't be...

La other customer didn't see him, either.

I am not surprised she was la prime suspect after what took place.

Did anything happen?

Did you forget?

The lottery ticket.

Lottery ticket?

Z'e man... 'E was listening to la radio wi'z 'is earphone.

Earphone... Maggey mentioned that, too.

La winning number was announced on la news, I think.
