Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

AMI

At the same time the Kurain urn was being stolen,

a murder was taking place over at KB Security's CEO office.

And since Ron was at the scene when it happened,

he was arrested again, this time as a murder suspect.

And the one behind this devious plot was the true murderer!

Season 2

The Stolen Turnabout — Last Trial

The prosecution may begin its questioning.

I never drink more than 17 cups of coffee during any given trial.

But the first one is always the best.

H-Huh?

He's planning to end this in the very first go?

I looked into why you were fired from that company a year ago.

For your wife, huh?

Me?

That's not...

In order to provide more spending money to your wife,

you stole confidential data from the company.

The CEO found out, and you were fired.

You didn't want your wife to find out,

so you made it seem like you quit on your own.

That brings a tear to my eye.

The CEO used that to blackmail you.

And that is how this murder came about.

If you don't want your secret identity revealed, bring me $50,000. I'll waiting in the CEO's office of KB Security at 1 AM, September 12th. If you don't have the money, sell off that red diamond you stole recently.

No... Ronnie...

That establishes your motive.

This is bad.

Moving on, what happened there at 1 AM that night?

Tell the court.

I followed the blackmail letter's orders and entered the CEO's office.

And when I did, there was a suspicious shadow there...

Suddenly, I was hit on the forehead.

When I came to, the CEO was lying dead!

If I hadn't been wearing that, I might've died, too.

What do you mean by "that"?

Why, my mask, of course.

M-Mask?

I was wearing my Mask DeMasque costume that night.

Oh, I guess I forgot to mention it until now.

Sounds like it.

Even I didn't know that.

I was being blackmailed over the Mask DeMasque issue,

so I thought I should go as him.

Huh?

This is going too slow. I have to pick up the pace.

Courtroom 4

What do you say, Mr. Atmey?

I have to say you performed splendidly, Sir Payne.

Looks like the time of resolution is almost upon us.

As you heard, this kid's testimony is all over the place.

Someone hit him? Who would believe that?

Hold it!

Look at the logs for the emergency buzzer connecting the CEO's office to security.

According to these logs, the buzzer was pushed once, at around 1 AM.

If Ron was the murderer, he would've ran as soon as it sounded.

Say what?

A security guard would've been heading his way.

But Ron has admitted that he hid the body in the safe.

If he was the murderer, there's no way he would've done that!

Objection!

Objection!

But as it turns out, the guard never came.

That... was nothing more than a coincidence.

Teehee!

Maybe he didn't notice the buzzer going off?

That's out of the question.

This buzzer is so loud, it's impossible not to hear it.

Unless you were unconscious when it sounded, of course.

What do you mean by that?

Remember what the defendant said earlier.

Someone attacked him, and he found the victim dead when he came to.

What about it?

In other words, Ron was out cold when the buzzer sounded!

What? He was knocked out?

By the time it went off, Bullard had already been murdered.

And Ron had been knocked out by the hit.

In this situation, if the real killer made his escape, what would happen?

A-Anyone would think that I was the murderer!

Precisely! The emergency buzzer was sounded by the real murderer!

All to frame Ron DeLite of the murder!

And who exactly was this real killer?

Luke Atmey.

That phantom thief is currently on trial in the next courtroom over.

He's no phantom thief.

Two crimes happened at the exact same time.

Theft and murder... Which is the less serious crime?

They're not even close. Theft, of course.

If he were to be found guilty of theft,

he wouldn't be accused of murder.

That's how he's trying to get away with his real crime!

No way.

The defense requests that Luke Atmey be brought to the stand!

At once, before he's declared guilty!

Now then, this court is back in session.

You finally dragged him out here.

This is where things get real.

1 AM, September 12th.

That was the time Kane Bullard was murdered.

Tell the court again what you were doing.

No matter how many times you ask, my answer will remain the same.

I was stealing the urn as I, Mask DeMasque, had promised.

The time stamp on this photo taken by the security camera is my witness.

At the time, you were in KB Security's CEO office.

This photo can't have been taken on that night!

What?

Please elaborate.

This photo was taken at 1 AM a few days before the incidents.

A few days before?

And on the night in question, you made sure to kill Bullard at the same time.

You took the photo to give yourself an alibi!

Argh!

The photo only mentions the time, not the date.

You made full use of that!

Objection!

Objection!

It's not good to jump to conclusions.

Where is the proof?

There's a huge contradiction in this photo.

Something that should've been there is nowhere to be seen!

I mean Ami Fey's golden statue.

The supervisor of the treasure exhibit stated the following.

After that, I realized how ugly the paint stains looked,

so I hid them behind Mystic Ami's statue.

That night, the statue was directly in the view of the security camera.

The one who moved it is none other than you, Detective Atmey.

But for what purpose?

Remember.

When was the statue delivered to the warehouse?

The day before the incidents...

You don't mean!

That's right.

Detective Atmey took this photo a few days before.

The statue wasn't there then.

He must've been quite nervous.

Something that wasn't supposed to be there was somewhere it wasn't supposed to be.

So you had to move the statue,

to make the room match with the way it had been in his photo.

The Lordly Tailor provided the security cameras.

You couldn't tamper with the photos.

But you took advantage of the fact that they didn't show the date!

What do you say,

Detective Atmey?!

Gwaah!

This is my 11th cup.

I'm still good until the very last drop of the 17th.

Are you saying this detective set it all up?

Yes.

That won't fly, amigo.

What?

"Luke Atmey was in KB Security's CEO office on the night of the murder."

Unless you can prove that,

you're just a kid running his mouth.

Can you even prove that, Nick?

I can...

not prove it.

That's that.

Then this phantom thief will be heading back to his own trial.

It's time for the verdict.

No!

I am the Ace Detective as well as Mask DeMasque!

My verdict will verify that.

The truth has one again been elegantly revealed to me.

Ron DeLite is the true killer!

Well, I must admit that he's the biggest phantom thief fan.

After all, he wore Mask DeMasque's costume to meet his blackmailer.
