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, I think.

Courthouse

No matter how difficult a case may be,

I stand in the courtroom to defend the clients I believe in.

For their sake, I'm willing to make any sacrifice!

Lobby 1

I should go through the file one last time before the trial begins.

Hello?

Looks like they hung up.

It's nothing personal, Mr. Attorney.

How did I get into this mess?

That's far enough!

You can't run forever, Phoenix Wright!

Lobby 1

The Lost Turnabout

Ouch...

Defendant — Maggey Byrde

Good morning, Mr. Wright, sir!

Wh-Who are you?

I'm Maggey Byrde!

I'm placing my life in your hands today!

"Your life"?

You promised me! You said you would prove that I was not guilty!

"Not guilty"?

Yep! Even as the Goddess of Misfortune, this is the biggest crisis of my life!

Looking back, my life has been a trade fair of bad luck, defeats, and setbacks!

But you said, "Leave it to me!" I was moved to tears, Mr. Phoenix Wright!

"Wright"?

That's right, Mr. Wright!

Phoenix Wright... What a weird name.

I want you to believe me! I did not kill him!

You what? K-K-Ki...

The trial will begin shortly.

I'm counting on you in there, okay?

Courtroom 2

Courtroom 2?

10:00 AM District Court — Courtroom No. 2

What is even going on?

Judge

Court is now in session for the trial of Miss Maggey Byrde!

Who is that old geezer?

Defense Lawyer — Phoenix Wright

Prosecutor — Winston Payne

Long time no see, Wright.

Right...

And who are you?!

Your opening statement, Mr. Payne.

At once, Your Honor. The defendant is accused of killing her lover.

You killed your lover?!

It wasn't like that!

Constable Prince was a senior I respected...

What's worse, her lover was a fellow police officer!

A p-police officer?

Please call your first witness.

I'm Dick Gumshoe.

Witness: District Police — Detective Dick Gumshoe

I'm the detective in charge of homicides down at the precinct.

That detective looks down in the dumps.

Constable Byrde was, uh, a very trustworthy subordinate!

You worked under that detective?

Yes, sir! He was always watching out for me while I was a trainee!

He's a wonderful detective!

Then, Detective, describe for us the details of the murder.

Sir!

Witness Testimony

It happened at the park near the precinct, "Exposé Park."

Exposé Park

The victim was one of the local cops, Dustin Prince.

His body was beat up bad, and his neck was snapped.

He was likely pushed down from the benches on the upper path.

There was a very crucial piece of evidence found under the victim's body.

This is it.

The victim grabbed the killer's glasses as he was being shoved

and held onto them as he fell.

The killer's glasses?

What about those?

This is my spare pair.

S-Spare? Th-Then you really...

No! The ones they found weren't mine!

It was a coincidence that on that same day, I accidentally stepped on mine.

Coincidence?

Just another day in the life of the Goddess of Misfortune.

Defense, you may begin your cross-examination.

Huh? Cross-examination?

I have to do it?

Obviously. Who else would?

This is your time to shine! I'm counting on you!

Uh, what am I supposed to do?

Y-You don't know?

No... I hate to break it to you, but I don't remember anything.

What?!

W-Wait, is it amnesia?

Amnesia?!

I now have a new biggest crisis of my life.

Defense, hurry up and begin your cross-examination.

Just go for it!

Right.

Then...

Let's start with the glasses.

Do you have any proof that these belong to the defendant?

The lenses are for a near-sighted wearer, and are almost the same prescription as hers.

MAGGEY

BYRDE

Even the frames look kinda like the ones she's wearing in her ID.

Wait.

"Almost" and "kinda" are not good enough in a case like this.

Do you have more definitive proof?

One moment!

If you want definitive proof,

take a look at this photo.

Maggie

M-Maggie?

That's the defendant's name, Maggie Byrde.

It's a setup! A conspiracy!

Order! Order!

The victim wrote her name? There's no hope!

Maggey

What?

Hold it!

Th-There it is! Really makes my empty stomach rumble...

What's come over me?

Without thinking, I just yelled out.

And I yelled it at the top of my lungs, finger outstretched.

Witness, please state the defendant's name for me.

Huh? Well, it's Maggie Byrde.

How is it spelled?

Hold it!

This line of questioning is pointless!

Maggie

Just look at the photo!

Sure, it does say "Maggie."

But the defendant's name is spelled "Maggey"!

MAGGEY

BYRDE

MAGGEY

Maggie

Maggey

This is a blatant contradiction of facts!

B-But... Maybe the victim didn't know how to spell her name correctly!

May I remind you that it was you who said,

Maggie

Maggey

"The defendant is accused of killing her lover."

There's no way he wouldn't have known his lover's name!

The day of the incident happened to be Constable Prince's birthday.

Maggey had gotten him a present.

And is this it?

That's an awfully yellow glove.

He loved baseball and the color yellow to death!

Oh? Is that glove relevant to this case?

Huh? I'm not sure.

Actually, that glove is the key to this whole case!

Take a close look at the glove. It's made for a left-handed person.

And now, look at the crime scene photo again.

Maggie

H-He wrote with his right hand!

That's right! He was a southpaw!

Maggie

There's no way a southpaw would use his right hand to write a dying message.

Therefore, whoever wrote that...

It wasn't the victim!

What was that?

I still can't remember, but I can feel the rush.

Energy is surging through my body!

It seems that we have reached a conc—

Hold it!

Your Honor, the prosecution is not finished yet!

What?!

No way!

There was a witness to this murder.

And the witness saw the moment the victim was pushed to his death.

What's more, he saw the very face of the culprit!

I'm telling you, it wasn't me!

Summon the witness to the stand!

Sir, meet the drifter who was taking a walk in the park on the day of the murder!

Hi!

He saw the culprit?

Please state your name for the court, witness.

First, I'd like to clarify something.

Just now, you introduced my wonderful self to the court, correct?

Perhaps as a "drifter who was taking a walk"?

Huh? Did I?

But I can't have you judging me with such bias.

Sure, I suppose calling me a university student would not be the absolute truth.

But everything in my life is to be of the utmost, top grade quality, you understand.

I am merely looking for that perfect, top notch university, don't you see?

I have a rigorous selection process.

Yes, yes, I understand. I'll keep that in mind.

Only first-rate fashion, cars, women, and glasses may apply!

And of course, the same goes for university!

But you aren't wearing glasses...
