Ace Attorney (逆転裁判〜その「真実」、異議あり！〜)

Maya's mother, Misty Fey, was murdered.

The root cause was the position of Kurain School Master.

It was a sad tale of resentment between the main and branch families.

But there is one mystery yet to be solved.

Who really killed Misty Fey?

The truth will be revealed soon, and it will rip everything to shreds!

Ace Attorney

Season 2

Bridge to the Turnabout — Last Trial

Now, witness, will you state your name and occupation?

Maya Fey.

I'm the assistant manager at Wright & Co. Law Offices.

On the night in question, you witnessed the crucial moment

of Misty Fey being murdered in front of your eyes.

When it happened, there was one more person there with you two.

Yes, the true killer.

No! He was...

"He"? Did you see that person?

I didn't. I mean, it was really dark.

It was impossible to tell if anyone was there with just moonlight to go by.

Yeah! I couldn't see a thing!

That's not going to fly.

Just now, you said, "No! He was..."

That suggests you recognized him.

And now you're trying to cover for him.

C-Cover? What do you mean, defense?

It was pitch dark back then.

She couldn't have seen the killer clearly.

But she still did, which means...

You can't see a person hiding in the shadows of the night.

But there are some things you can only see in the dark!

You talk a good game, Trite.

Let's see you make it clear who the killer in the dark was!

Please turn off all the lights in this courtroom!

Wh-What is this?

Now you've done it, Trite.

Maya, you saw these three lights in the dark, didn't you?

No!

I've been thinking something about the crime scene didn't add up.

Strangely, the killer left the most conspicuous piece of evidence intact.

A cover-up is meaningless when you leave something like this untouched.

Then why?

Remember what happened when this was presented as evidence.

Nonsense.

Are you saying there's something written on the lantern?

And we went through this once before.

During the poisoning case at Très Bien.

Prosecutor Godot,

there are certain colors you can't see.

You can't see red on a white background, can you?

That's why you cleared out so much snow around the lantern.

Why am I the only one?

Why can't I see it?

The defense formally accuses you of killing Misty Fey!

Then let me hear it, Trite.

Why would I have to kill Misty Fey?

You didn't just kill Misty Fey.

You saved Maya Fey's life.

I hate to break it to you, but I'm not as heroic as I may look.

Certainly not enough to protect a total stranger!

Maya is a lot more than just a stranger to you.

What?

After all,

she's the little sister of the love of your life.

Mia... Fey.

Exactly,

Diego Armando.

Diego Armando?

You're him?!

The last time someone called me by that name was over six years ago.

Murder at the Courthouse?!

Was his coffee poisoned... in broad daylight?

Diego Armando

All of this is related to a single case.

A case in which the defendant killed himself.

You stood beside Mia as she fought that case.

In the end, she couldn't uncover Dahlia Hawthorne's crimes.

After that,

we thoroughly investigated that fake kidnapping incident.

The way she put her faith in her clients... That pure, sweet heart of hers...

It captivated me.

Then one fateful day, I told Dahlia Hawthorne to meet me

at the courthouse's cafeteria.

And then, I entered a deep, deep sleep.

That woman's poison did a real number on my central nervous system.

I lost my sight, and all of my hair turned white.

Five years later,

I miraculously regained consciousness

and found the worst possible news waiting for me.

The woman I loved had been murdered,

and the woman I loathed had been sentenced to death.

For a sleepyhead like me, there were only two reasons left to live.

And they were why I became a prosecutor.

The first was you, Trite.

Me?

If I were in your shoes, I would never have let her die!

She died because you were an immature child!

I wanted to see for myself what kind of a man you really were.

And my other reason for living?

Maya Fey.

She was the only way I could make up for the sin of not saving Mia.

One year ago, Morgan Fey was arrested after the Kurain Village incident.

But it was obvious she'd still be plotting something.

When I eavesdropped on their conversation during the visit,

I learned of the existence of a written plan.

I got to the letter before Pearl and found its terrifying details.

I could've destroyed it right then and there,

but I decided to play along with their plan...

In order to outwit and get rid of them for good.

To do that, I needed help.

Help from Iris, a nun at Hazakura Temple, where the plan would be carried out,

and Misty Fey.

The police had been keeping an eye on her movements since the DL-6 Incident.

That's how I was able to contact her.

Because of my position as a prosecutor.

Then came the day.

I rushed to Hazakura Temple after Iris called me.

Hazakura Temple

There was just one way to stop their evil plan.

We had to make sure Pearl Fey didn't channel Dahlia Hawthorne.

Is that why Elise invited Pearls to her room that night?

But she never showed up.

Because she went to the Inner Temple.

That's why Misty Fey had to channel Dahlia Hawthorne into her own body.

If she channeled the spirit first,

then Pearls wouldn't be able to do it.

I hid myself at the Inner Temple...

To stop Dahlia Hawthorne if it came down to it.

Anyway...

That's all I'm going to admit to.

There's just one question remaining.

"Who killed Misty Fey at the Inner Temple?"

Well, Trite...

If you're the real deal, then finish this thing once and for all.

Show that you can finish this on your own!

No, Nick! Please don't!

Maya...

I heard the whole thing from Sis.

He risked his life for her and me, you know?

I know that!

But even so, it doesn't absolve him of his crime!

No matter what the cost, I will find the truth!

The defense presents its final piece of evidence: this!

Isn't that...

the dagger Dahlia Hawthorne was holding?

Yes. Its tip is covered in blood.

But I thought we established that this sword was the murder weapon.

Then why is there a bloodstain on this dagger?

There's only one possible answer to that question.

After she was stabbed, Dahlia Hawthorne reflexively attacked the killer!

What?!

In other words, the blood on this dagger belongs to the killer!

Objection!

Objection!

But he couldn't change his clothes or get treatment that night!

The bridge burned down!

Maya...

I was trapped at the Inner Temple that night, meaning I couldn't hide my wound.

Now what will you do, defense?

What do you have to say, defense?

You've accused Prosecutor Godot of being the killer.

If you cannot prove it, I'll deliver my verdict right away!
