Now this next case here is my all time favorite one 'with some add on of mine edited', so I hope you'll enjoy this one.
"It's been, what, 15 years?"
"About that, yes."
"15 years is a long time to wait..."
"You can't imagine how much I've suffered..."
"You...suffered?"
"And now...the perfect opportunity presents itself."
"At last...I shall have my revenge!"
"What!?"
It was a dark and foggy night on Christmas even to be all quiet for a boat had two guys to be standing on and talking, all was fine, until...Bang! A gun shot goes off for one to fall into the lake waters.
"...Merry Christmas."
Soon to hear others for a woman who was camping out there to have her camera go off, near a boat rental place, a type of picnic on the other side, and someone listening to a radio with some type of headphones on his head. More than one gun shot went off for the one standing there on the boat with a dead body in the lake to be found later on - was none other than Miles Edgeworth himself! And he was holding a gun in his hands! What was going on?!
Edgeworth: No...!
Soon for the cops arrived, it only gets worse from here on out. Later...Phoenix remembers the day at school to be standing in class to be blame on others on something he didn't do, for the kids didn't think so.
Boy: You did it, didn't you?
They all started to call him a thief.
Kids: Thief! Thief!
Phoenix: It wasn't me...It wasn't me. I didn't do it!
No matter how much the young Phoenix Wright tries to tell the kids on something he didn't do, they won't listen to him.
Kids: Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Things get weirder for the room and the people to change all around him, even the teacher doesn't believe in the poor Phoenix.
Teacher: Tell the truth, Phoenix.
Phoenix: But...
Teacher: Now, apologize to the class.
Sounding weird, things flashing before Phoenix's eyes, saying the word 'thief' and 'guilty' a lot, and the teacher looking at him weirdly...He finally wakes up from the horrible nightmare as he was sleeping in his office. Waking up to see his blue key chain on his bag and sweating like crazy all over.
Phoenix: What a nightmare...
Cassie: Ah, Phoenix?
Phoenix: Cassie-!
For Cassie allow for Phoenix to sleep on her lap from earlier, he had his hand squeezing Cassie's boob out of nowhere.
Cassie: Hey!
Moving away to be panicking to be a complete accident for his face was turning completely red.
Phoenix: I DIDN'T MEAN TO!
Cassie: It's okay, Phoenix, you were half asleep.
Smiling to be slowly going out lately and being a couple to make Phoenix much happier with Cassie by his side and the memories of good ones from the key chain he had.
Phoenix: I'm glad you're here by my side.
Cassie: I'll always be there for you. It maybe a small Christmas Day to hang out like this, but it's worth it during the holidays.
Phoenix: You're right.
Holding hands to be smiling ans close to their head to be closer to each other, they never felt this happy ever and working hard on their jobs. Also, Maya was doing something in the other room with the water running and her white robe on, huh...? For Phoenix and Cassie worked around the office for any oncoming cases to be called upon 'just in case'.
Cassie: I can't believe the year is almost over for a new one to start later.
Phoenix: Christmas is here again, huh?
Cassie: It seems like it, but to be spending it more with others I care about. Last time it was just me and Mia.
Right, this was a bit better this year for her - for the calendar said so to be December the 25th. Seems like Maya Fey was training somehow.
Phoenix: I hope Santa will bring me a big case...
Cassie: We both hope so.
Entering in the room for Phoenix to be yawning...the look on his face showed of Maya to be training in the small kitchen room, she had a kiddie pool with a running hose water underneath Maya. This was her training.
Phoenix: Ah...What are you doing?
Cassie: I don't think she's playing in the kiddie pool. What's going on, Maya?
Maya: I'm training. Isn't it obvious?
Well, it doesn't look like it to them.
Cassie: I'm not so sure.
Phoenix: I can't say I thought of that either, no.
And Maya was training with the running hose water in a kiddie pool of Phoenix's and Cassie's work lace why...?
Maya: I thought I should train beneath a waterfall for once.
Phoenix: Well, have a good one.
Leaving the room, Maya had something else to say to them.
Cassie: Don't make a mess now...
Maya: Hey, Nick...
Opening the door for the hose was tape to a sink to make the water run through for her, just not doing a good job with it.
Maya: The water pressure's kind of low in this waterfall.
Cassie: Well no wonder why, your handmade of waterfall making kind of sucks, Maya. Sorry.
For Cassie to warn Maya about it while Phoenix got himself some coffee to make a joke for Maya to do instead to get more water, if she'll really do it.
Phoenix: Go down to the fire department and have them spray you with the hose, then.
Maya: Oh, I hadn't thought of that!
Doing some more training for Maya will go down there to try Phoenix's idea.
Cassie: Maya, wait! Phoenix was only joke-! Oh boy...I didn't think she'll believe in it.
Phoenix: She'll be back. Let's see what's on TV today.
Turning on the TV for a news at some part was being told of a dead body to be found, another murder case maybe...? A lot more for Phoenix and Cassie to take this one for sure with many reasons why.
Newscaster: [Earlier this morning, the body of a man shot dead was found in Gourdy Lake. A large, unidentified animal was also sighted here recently. Locals are calling it "gourdy" in a tip of the hat to Nessie, the Loch Ness monster.]
The screen on the TV new also said on the side... 'Corpse Found in Gourdy's Lake! Gourd Lake Relay'. Yeah right, a sea monster in the area? As if. Like Phoenix and Cassie know it's not real at all.
Phoenix: "Gourdy", huh?
Cassie: A lively sea monster? Yeah, right! (I can't believe buy into this type of crap.)
Also on the newspaper had the logo Berry Big Circus too 'you'll see more about it later on'. Returning back was Maya to tell the two on something that was impossible to do anyways...
Maya: Nick...Cassie...
Phoenix: What's wrong?
Maya: The fireman yelled at me.
So what else is new?
Cassie: I told you not to take Phoenix's joke seriously, Maya. But you'll learn more.
Phoenix: I'm not surprised either.
But wait...There was more news update at the same area about the dead body being discovered.
Newscaster [Breaking news. Sources inside the police department have revealed that a suspect has been apprehended. The suspect is Miles Edgeworth, twenty-four, a practicing prosecutor.]
Showing a photo of Edgeworth on TV next, this was really bad to have him as a suspect and arrested. 'Miles Edgeworth (24)'.
Cassie: Wait...Edgeworth arrested?! NO WAY!
Phoenix and Maya: Edgeworth?!
This was bad, another murder mystery was at hand to solve and for Edgeworth's innocence. For Cassie knew right away for this guy to not be so bad, and Phoenix should already know about it as well.
Cassie: (I already sensing Edgeworth was set up! This looks really bad...!) Phoenix! Maya! What are you two standing around with your mouths wide open? We got ourselves someone who's not like a real killer and was set up! Let's got to the detention center to talk to Edgeworth! Come on!
Leaving in a hurry, of a few day of Christmas week they'll have to take on next.
Maya: Come on, Nick!
Phoenix: (Not Edgeworth...) Ah, right! Wait up!
Getting to the Detention Center to talk to Edgeworth with a lot to learn about here, or try to...
Time: December 25
Location: Detention Center - Visitor's Room No. 1
Cassie: Hi Edgeworth, we heard what happened to you. So here we are to solve another murder mystery to save your life.
But all he did as ask Phoenix a question instead.
Edgeworth: What are you doing here?
Cassie: Well, I tried. (But I feel a lot of pain from his heart right now. So this is just more than a feeling, but so much that I was born with.)
What did she mean by that...? Strange, something was on Cassie's mind lately since the month of December started. Well more with that later when we can, right now the three needed to try asking Edgeworth a few questions.
Phoenix: Edgeworth, Cassie's right. Tell me...Well tell us what happened.
Edgeworth: And what will you and Cassie do about it?
It doesn't matter if Edgeworth likes Cassie, for she and Phoenix want to help him out.
Cassie: Please, isn't it obvious, Edgeworth...? Please.
Phoenix: Yes. Let us defend you. I want to help you out the most.
But all Edgeworth does is smirk and laugh about it like it was an act 'wasn't it?'
Edgeworth: Defend me? You two?
Cassie: But we really want to.
For Cassie to say so and Phoenix nodding a yes, they mean it.
Edgeworth: Don't be ridiculous. You're a novice who's only been in three trial, Wright. And you only have Cassie since you love her, don't you?
Phoenix: I did see her first to be love at first sight for me...So, yes.
Cassie: It just happened is all.
He's blushing a lot to admit that part.
Edgeworth: You only one by luck alone.
Maya: B-But...
A bit harsh there wouldn't you guys say the same?
Edgeworth: Yes, you got lucky with Cassie on your side and won all three, but your luck's bound to run out some day. You need areal skill. Experience.
They were taking this a bit...you know, well. But for Maya still didn't like Edgeworth's attitude problem.
Maya: Cassie, you have Nick remember?
Cassie: I worry about Edgeworth, I wasn't falling for him!
Maya: Whatever...And Nick, why are we getting lectured here?
I guess Phoenix's use to Edgeworth being like this 'sometimes' to hide his true feelings.
Edgeworth: Regardless, I don't want you involved in this. Not even you, Cassie. I almost envy Wright for falling for you instead...Now leave.
Like they'll give up so soon.
Maya: No...
Cassie: Edgeworth... (I just don't feel the same way back to you, Edgeworth, I'm with Phoenix.)
With Edgeworth getting up from his seat to leave the room, Phoenix had one more thing to ask.
Phoenix: Let me just ask you one thing, Edgeworth. You didn't do it, right? Right?
Getting up for Phoenix was being serious and Cassie worried for her new boyfriend. All that Edgeworth said with his head down low was this as he was really sad.
Edgeworth: Stay out of this case.
Really? Yep, Phoenix and Cassie knows of Edgeworth was hiding something, leaving Cassie to feel so much sadness from Edgeworth's heart 'a lot more to find out her gift was more than something out of nowhere over the years growing up with them'. For them and Maya leave the place 'and see the Blue Badger mascot of the police force sign from outside', Maya was a bit mad for Edgeworth to act like this.
Maya: He really gets on my nerves! Acting like he's king! Of his cell, maybe!
Phoenix: Well, that's just how he is.
This has been on Maya and Cassie's minds right now - on how Phoenix and Edgeworth know each other a lot. Why is that?
Cassie: You know, Phoenix. Ever since we've been going out, you seem to know Edgeworth a lot. Why is that?
Maya: She's right. Why are you so worried about Edgeworth, Nick?
Well, there was a very good reason why to have Phoenix smile.
Phoenix: I owe him a lot.
Maya: Owe him?
Something must've happen between them back when they were kids then.
Cassie: Owe Edgeworth what? (From the way Phoenix answered, it seems both he and Edgeworth were very good friends. Maybe they still are today...So what changed his friend?)
More to find out little at a time 'even more on Maya's end', it was time to get work.
Phoenix: Anyway, let's go check Gourd Lake.
Yeah, more about Phoenix and Edgeworth's friendship way later...to Gourd Lake they go.
Cassie: Right, let's do some murder mystery solving for Edgeworth's sake whether he wants to or not.
Off to Gourd Lake park for the three have arrived. For there were a lot of police working on the clock to find any clues, suspects, and anything else non-stop.
Maya: Sure are lots of cops loitering about...
Cassie: Loitering? Really, Maya?
Maya: What? What did I say?
Saying the word "loitering" was a bit silly to say.
Phoenix: Please call it "investigating."
From there, with Gumshoe on the clock to find some answers in order to prove in Edgeworth's innocent to get the cops working hard. Wow, he wants someone to not be found guilty.
Gumshoe: There are enough of us here! Anyone find anything?
Phoenix, Maya, and Cassie figured for someone like Gumshoe would 'of course' be here today.
Phoenix and Maya: Ah!
Cassie: I knew Mr. Detective would show up.
For this guy was working twice as harder than ever before.
Gumshoe: Hey! The trial's tomorrow, pal. We need a lead on the culprit, on the double!
But they didn't think so. For Edgeworth did some bad tricks to win his other cases to not trust in him, for some wanted him arrested for good. No way...!
Detective: But we already know Edgeworth-
Not to Gumshoe to trust Edgeworth with his life to work for him a lot.
Gumshoe: Shaddup!
Time to get back back to work then to make Maya jump a bit.
Maya: Eek!
Cassie: Hey Mr. Detective, easy does it.
Hitting him on the head a little, for him to see for Cassie and the others are here.
Gumshoe: Kid? And you pals.
Phoenix: Hello, Detective Suedeshoes...
Saying the wrong name again.
Cassie: Again, it's "Detective Dick Gumshoe".
For today and on this case, Gumshoe was happy to see them to help out Edgeworth to prove in his innocence.
Gumshoe: Hey Kid! And it's about time, pal!
Phoenix: About time?
Gumshoe: You're here to investigate as the defense attorney, right? For you, Kid, gather as much as you want to save Mr. Edgeworth. I'm also here to help with anything you need!
Yeah, about that...Gumshoe doesn't know that Edgeworth said no to them.
Phoenix: Uh, no, we actually...
Cassie: There's something about Edgeworth just said-!
But I don't think he'll listen.
Gumshoe: Come on, now!
Guess they have to now, more like they want to help out Edgeworth. For Phoenix and Maya to see Gumshoe working really hard and Cassie to be happy on how hard he doing his job.
Cassie: Ah...Ah, look at Mr. Detective go you guys.
Maya: He seems different than usual. I wonder what's up?
Phoenix: Beats me.
Cassie: I guess he owes Edgeworth his life to be acting this way.
Walking around the area of the park and where the body was found, for Gumshoe was very grateful for their help on this one. Lots to talk about on this detective's mind.
Gumshoe: I'm so relieved, pal. For you and the Kid. No one would agree to take the case, so we were in a spot of bother.
Phoenix: What? Why not?
From the rumors of Edgeworth fixing the evidences to get the people to be found guilty.
Gumshoe: Mr. Edgeworth is a celebrity, pal. If you defended him and lost, your reputation would surely suffer.
Cassie: Like some of the people want to have Edgeworth gone for good? They can't do that unless there's solid proof!
Phoenix: So the case against him is that solid?
Seems like it for this seems unfair for Edgeworth to lose his job forever if this keeps up.
Gumshoe: The police are convinced he's the killer. They're not even taking the investigation seriously.
Maya: Oh...
Cassie: So this is bad. Things like this of the law sure have changed over the years, from bad to worse.
In the way of the life of the law can suck sometimes to follow.
Gumshoe: But he's got you on his side. That's better than having nobody, I think. Ask me anything you guys want!
Falling down for these three for Gumshoe doesn't know what's going on yet to kind of be bad news.
Cassie: Ah...What happened, Mr. Detective? Please tell us.
The details on what went down from last night...For Cassie to remember all of this very well.
Gumshoe: It happened last night, a bit after midnight...Two men were on a boat out on Gourd Lake. One of those men shot the other with a pistol. Five minutes later, the police arrived at the scene and arrested Mr. Edgeworth, whom they found nearby.
From a foggy Christmas Eve night at the lake, had two men on the boat. For one of them shot a gun at someone to go off, falls into the lake, and dies. Soon enough, lots of cops arrive to see Edgeworth at the scene and holding the murder weapon, they arrested him soon after.
Maya: How did they get here so fast?
Gumshoe: Well, someone called the cops as soon as they saw the murder.
Cassie: That quickly, huh?
Well, they do their job to getting their right away at least.
Phoenix: What? So there was a witness?
Maya: Did they see Edgeworth?
They did but they think Edgeworth killed this victim. Really...? Even Gumshoe hates to talk about it a lot.
Gumshoe: Er, sorry, pal...That's confidential.
Phoenix: If Edgeworth really was on that boat, it doesn't look good for him.
A reflection of the lake of Edgeworth sadness and the weapon to really be crying out for help deep down.
Cassie: There has to be a reason why he was on the boat with this mysterious person, we just need to keep on trying and find our answer.
Gumshoe: I know, Kid. You guys are his last hope, pal!
Looking at each other for the three - Cassie, Maya, and Phoenix has to tell Gumshoe the bad news. Edgeworth didn't want any help from them.
Cassie: Tell him.
Phoenix: About that...
And so they do, and Gumshoe didn't take the news so well.
Gumshoe: He refused to let you defend him?!
They don't like it either.
Cassie: Calm down, Mr. Detective!
Gumshoe: Sorry, Kid.
Cassie: Look, we really did try to ask him. But he just said no. And yet...the pain in his heart. I can sense it asking for our help deep down. So knowing Edgeworth does hide his true feelings to really be human.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Soon enough, Phoenix was catching on from Cassie's weird reactions to sensing people's feelings out suddenly.
Gumshoe: And he still said no?
Maya: "Stay out of this case," he said. It was basically a threat!
Phoenix: Apparently, he doesn't think I'm much good as an attorney.
Poor Phoenix to be taking this harder than the others...For Gumshoe won't stand for it, for him to be shouting from the top of his lungs.
Gumshoe: That doesn't make any sense, pal!
Hitting a nearby trash barrel hard from Cassie's powerful kick, for her who really wants to save Edgeworth's life.
Cassie: WE KNOW ALREADY! Ah...Sorry, this is just a tough on is all.
A lot to be affecting them all to worry for one man. For Cassie to remain calm so quietly, she never done this besides releasing her anger sometimes.
Gumshoe: You should have heard him talking about you after the Steel Samurai case! Both you, pal, and Kid!
After the third case? Hmmm...Who would've thought Edgeworth talks about good things on Phoenix and Cassie too.
Cassie: Edgeworth talk about us?
Phoenix: He said that?
And on other nice things to see the true colors of Miles Edgeworth did have real human feelings.
Gumshoe: Please, pal...you too, Kid...Help Mr. Edgeworth out. Prove that badge your wear isn't just some fancy piece of metal And Kid, do your murder mystery skills to win this case! Please...I'm beg of you both.
Hearing Gumshoe loud and clear to really beg of Phoenix and Cassie to ask Edgeworth again. So they'll take on the case.
Phoenix: Got it.
Using his attorney badge to do what needs to be done.
Cassie: Right, Mr. Detective. We will save Edgeworth. He'll thank us once we find plenty of evidences.
And he will 'but in his own way'. For Gumshoe to get back to work with Missile the Dog to aid the cops and he was good at it for a smart and cute little dog...Phoenix, Cassie, and Maya continue to search around the park to find any leads right away.
Maya: It's so surprising to hear that he praised you. What do you think impressed him?
Phoenix: Don't ask me.
I guess Gumshoe was starting the like them 'even for Cassie' as well.
Cassie: We just do what needs to be done. I sense some good from Edgeworth, I want to help Phoenix out. Maya, if you had a good friend, you do the same thing.
Soon to keep on walking, someone in a Santa Claus suit talks to Phoenix to know him. Who is he...?
?: Hey, Nick! Cassie-Poo! Merry Christmas!
He seem to know Cassie too and this made Maya hide behind both her and Phoenix to have this guy scare them a little.
Cassie: Excuse me?
Maya: Nick, you know Santa? Cassie, do you?
No likely, and Santa's made up!
Cassie: There's no such thing!
Phoenix: Don't be ridiculous! Let's go. Avoid eye contact. Cassie, stay close to us.
They kept on walking...the man uses a popper sound to go off to make Maya jump, Cassie to have her hair standing up, and Phoenix to feel like he got shot. But he was fine, for this guy just laugh to get them very well. Soon to unmask on who he really is.
?: Dude, it's me! Larry!
It's Larry Butz himself, Phoenix's childhood friend. Who's dressing up as Santa Claus and for Maya to be seeing him for the first time.
Maya: Larry?
As for Cassie to hate pervert men like him...
Cassie: You again?!
Larry: Cassie-Poo, I'm so happy to see you again. I know you missed me...
Cassie: Yeah, right. But it's good to see you...doing something. (And dressing as Santa is one of them?)
Soon to see Maya to look cute to for Larry to try to hit on again. Really?
Larry: Whoa, another cutie alert. Who's this one, Nick? She's not your...?
Phoenix: Not my...what? No! Cassie's my girlfriend! Maya's a friend to the both of us.
Getting hit on the head by Cassie's powerful whacking skills.
Cassie: You're sick! You know that?!
Soon Maya introduces herself to Larry.
Maya: I'm Maya Fey. I pull the strings at the Wright & Co. Law Offices.
Cassie: She just helps us out, we're more in charge of it.
It's the other way around.
Phoenix: Yeah, what the heck?
Yeah, he just wants to have Maya like Larry the more he tries.
Larry: Maya, huh? Here, have this. A token of our meeting.
Still nice to give Maya a free popper.
Maya: Wow, thanks!
Phoenix: What are you doing here?
Besides working as Santa at the park during a cold Winter season of the holidays...
Cassie: Care to tell us at lease, Larry?
Larry: Isn't it obvious? I'm working! I sell Samurai Buns over there.
Across from them had the food stand where Larry works at - the Original Samurai Buns. With the many different flags of the country hanging up, the coast of them food was 300 Yen, a Christmas reef, and a float of the Steel Samurai character on display.
Cassie: Pastier buns during Winter season?
The float of the Steel Samurai float for Maya to love it a lot.
Maya: Look! The Steel Samurai...It's the real deal!
Larry: See? It's a big hit with the young.
What a big hit for others to eat it, still having good foods to buy from. Having some, Phoenix and Cassie tell Larry on what they were doing at the park.
Larry: A murder?! I was here working last night, but I don't know anything...
Well, that's not all Phoenix wanted to tell Larry about who was set up.
Phoenix: Hey, Larry...
Larry: What's with the scary face?
Phoenix: The suspect in this case is Miles Edgeworth.
It was hard to tell for Maya didn't get on how Larry knew Edgeworth somehow.
Maya: Um, Nick? Why would Larry know Edgeworth?
From Larry's face prove he knows Edgeworth like Phoenix to be very upset to hear the news.
Larry: What? Old Edgey?!
Yep, another turn of event has happened.
Cassie: Something tells me...Larry and Edgeworth know each other. (And a whole lot more to learn later on, I guess.)
Maya: You know him?
Larry: Of course. We were classmates in grade school.
Oh, so that's who Phoenix, Larry, and Edgeworth know each other a lot.
Maya: Aaaaah!
Cassie: Now it all makes sense.
And what those three boys you to be as friends.
Larry: Butz, Wright, and Edgeworth...The Three Signal Samurai of Class 4-3!
So dramatic with weird background things for Larry to say all of this, I think we get the point.
Cassie: Noted.
While eating some Samurai buns to be tasty of another food as pastries to taste good, Larry tells more about Edgeworth on what they and Phoenix use to do. Maya and Cassie were enjoying to learn about more of this stuff.
Phoenix: He used to study all the time, trying to "be like Father." He was evidently pretty famous back then.
Maya: Oh, so his father was a prosecutor, too?
Nope, it was the opposite from Edgeworth's father was not a prosecutor lawyer at all.
Larry: Nah, Edgey's pop was a defense attorney.
Cassie: No way! He was?! Now that's something I didn't see coming.
For Cassie to hear that part loud and clear, same thing with Maya as well.
Maya: Huh? Me either! That's the total opposite!
Larry: Opposite?
Oh, looks like Larry doesn't know of Edgeworth's a prosecutor lawyer.
Cassie: You didn't know? Oh boy...
Maya: Yeah, he's a prosecuting attorney right now!
Larry: Edgey? A prosecutor? What's up with that, Nick?
Eating his buns, Phoenix was choking to have trouble swallowing it down.
Maya: Nick?
Someone, do something!
Cassie: He's choking! Water! Water!
Giving Phoenix something to drink, he gets it down carefully.
Phoenix: I'm okay...Thank you, Cassie, you're the best.
For Larry to see Phoenix and Cassie to be holding hands to be heavenly in love, he sees that he doesn't stand a chance. I'm sure he'll find a girlfriend one day.
Maya: That was close.
Cassie: Let's finish eating slowly and then continue with our investigation.
Good idea for Larry hopes for Edgeworth to be saved, while he was still working.
Larry: W-Well, I leave Edgey in your hands...
Off Phoenix, Cassie, and Maya headed off to look around the other side of the park some more.
Cassie: So much to learn about you, Larry, and Edgeworth's past. No matter why you guys know each other.
Phoenix: A lot to talk about, huh Cassie? Sorry if Larry's trying to hit on you. First him and now Edgeworth, they both seem to have a crush on you...But you're with me!
Cassie: And I'll always be yours, Phoenix. It's fine. They're not the type that you have. Kind, smart, caring, and funny to work as a lawyer.
Phoenix: You think so?
Touching Phoenix's chin to like the feeling for Cassie's touch to make him feel happy.
Cassie: I mean it. You mean so much to me. I'm glad we're working like this a lot.
Having his face turn red for Phoenix to make him feel heavenly in love.
Phoenix: You're amazing, Cassie...!
Hearts in Phoenix's eyes to be popping out and loves being with Cassie from dating and working.
Maya: Nick. Cassie. Let's get going.
Phoenix: More working.
Cassie: We'll cuddle more later, now come on.
More later on, for now it was back to work.
Phoenix: Right, let's do we can for Edgeworth, Cassie. Together.
Cassie: Okay then. You're so sweet, Phoenix.
More working to do. With the three working around to find a boat rental building to rent boats and swim around the lake area; for Phoenix, Cassie, and Maya to learn of the Edgeworth and the murder victim were renting it...Arriving there to be no one working in the building right now from the looks of it.
Phoenix: Did the victim and culprit rent a boat here?
With the sign saying - 'Adult: 500 yen and Children: 200 yen'. This much to rent one, huh?
Cassie: Seems like it.
Maya: Larry said we'd find the caretaker here...
Knocking on the door to see if the owner was there.
Maya: Hello?
Cassie: Is anyone home? We wish to ask you some questions if you heard of a murder which went down. Anyone?
But no answer...Maybe he or she was still at home because of the mess which went down from last night.
Phoenix: Look like nobody's home.
Cassie: Seems like it...
Maya: They're supposed to be raking it in now! What with Gourdy and all, right?
Wait, the sea monster to thought it was spotted in the park? Man, to think of Maya would believe in this rumor.
Phoenix and Cassie: Gourdy? What?
This was news to them and for them to not care.
Maya: You don't know, Nick?! Cassie?! None of you do?
Popping out of the waters for Gourdy eats a bird to be flying by from the waters, to look tough and cute at the same time. Is that how Maya sees in a made up sea monster?
Maya: A huge, unidentified, mysterious monster! The last adventure left in the modern age!
Like that's all true at all.
Phoenix: It probably doesn't exist.
Cassie: You just heard this made up story, Maya. What's next Barney?
But she loves reading some about the stuff like this.
Maya: It totally does! Look. There's even a photo. It's true. Right? First Gourdy, now a murder. Gourd Lake is all the rage right now!
The magazine cover shows two couple getting a picture taken together with Gourdy in the background to be further away, but it was popping out of the waters.
Cassie: Huh...? Oh come on! Like I would believe in with photographic proof like this one.
No kidding...Looking at the magazine cover of the sea monster and where it was taken at.
Phoenix: Don't put them in the same boat. "Gourdy." huh? The photo in the magazine was taken here, right?
Seeing the scene of it, I think this was the spot where the photo shot was taken at.
Cassie: Seems like it. Angle, nice scene, background, and such. This is it.
While Maya tries to look at the view very carefully on Gourdy's location.
Maya: I wish Gourdy would pop out for a sec.
Looking around, they spot a big camera and someone camping there near the beach side lake.
Cassie: Forget the sea monster. Look over there.
Seeing it to be all set up for someone taking photos on some of the scenes.
Maya: Wow, check out this camera.
Cassie: A professional type of pro camera set up.
It had a flasher with sound set up to take any photos.
Phoenix: This must be a high sensitivity mic. It looks like an automatic system for taking a photo when a noise is heard.
Cassie: I like this see who does this type of job.
Looking around the two items for Maya to see if it really does work.
Maya: Let's see if it works...
Going up to the microphone part of the camera for Maya tests it out.
Maya: Hi, I'm Nick. Yo, I'm Nick!
Saying it louder won't going to do her any good!
Cassie: Maya! Stop it!
Phoenix: Will you stop that? It's embarrassing!
So Maya had an better idea to use something to set the camera off with some really loud sound.
Maya: Oh, I know! Here we go.
Cassie: Poppers?
Maya: It's worth a shot. Merry Christmas!
Well, it works. The loud sound was heard and the camera was going off so much flashing. This makes Phoenix freak out and Cassie didn't think Maya would go through with all of it.
Cassie: MAYA!
Then a crazy woman with a funny talking voice 'from a different country' and puffy hair runs out to be panicking of her camera being ruined. She goes by the name of Lotta Hart. What an odd name for this person, huh?
Lotta: Hey, you! Git yer hands offa' that! What were y'all thinkin', settin' off a party popper?
She turns it off right away.
Cassie: Sorry, Maya didn't mean to. (Man, her voice. She sounds like she's out of her home town in the United States.)
Lotta: Oh really? Y'all know how much film these days?! Let me tell ya, not every southerner's a cheapskate! Just 'cause I might be don't mean we all are!
Cassie: Ah Phoenix, help me out here. She's hard to understand a little.
Someone, say something to her.
Phoenix: Uh...
Lotta: What?
Phoenix: That's quite a camera you have.
Good, let's change the subject now.
Lotta: Y'all know it! I've programmed it so that it only reacts to bangs like earlier.
Phoenix: Bangs?
Cassie: You mean loud noises, right?
Seems like it, for equipment like these are very expensive. And what Lotta does is her job, to put it on magazines for money as Maya says about it in one of them next.
Maya: Wait, this article says... "When I took this photo, with the camera set to auto, I heard a bang far away."
Phoenix: Huh...
Maya: Experts speculate that it might've been Gourdy's cry.
Like other photographers to find proof of Gourdy's real, Lotta was doing the same thing.
Cassie: So she's one of those people. I see...
Phoenix: And you're here for Gourdy?
Knowing Lotta to get anything evidences on camera.
Lotta: Ayup. That dumb just happened to take a blurry picture. They didn't actually see ol' Gourdy. That's why I've been stakin' out 'ere for three days straight, Christmas or not! I'll get my hands on this scoop and make a hella lotta dolla!
This was her goal, huh? Getting proof of made up things to be legendary.
Maya: Make a hella...
Phoenix: ...lotta dolla?
Cassie: Hell of a lot of dollar...
Yep, this is what Lotta's life was.
Self-Proclaimed Journalist - Lotta Hart
Lotta: I'm Lotta Hart. Pleased to meet ya all.
Cassie: Hi Lotta. I'm Cassie Freeman, a murder mystery solver. This is my...well, my boyfriend Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney. And our friend Maya Fey. We need to ask you a few questions on a murder case which happened last night.
Hearing all of this for Lotta to be big news to her.
Lotta: Oh, the murder? I heard a practicin' prosecutor did it?
Jumping the gun so soon?
Cassie: We're defending Edgeworth because of this.
Phoenix: We don't know for sure that he did it.
Maya: Did you see or hear anything last night?
Trying to remember for Lotta did a lot of work to be out here camping.
Lotta: Well, I've been 'ere three days. I ain't too sure anymore.
Cassie: Then maybe your camera might've got something to capture. Who knows.
From a gun shot to go off, maybe they might have a lead yet.
Phoenix: Your camera triggers on the sound of loud explosions, right? Maybe it got a shot of the murder?
Cassie: Ah! Good thinking, Phoenix. Lotta, maybe your camera did get something. It should've.
Looking at her special camera, Lotta thought about it might've got something if a gun shot did go off.
Lotta: I see what y'all two yer sayin'...Let me take a look see.
Rushing to her tent to go see from her camera, the other three wait...And she comes back within seconds.
Cassie: Wow!
Phoenix and Maya: That was quick!
I think Lotta has a couple of photos for her camera to take.
Lotta: Yer on to somethin', Cassie. The camera took two pictures last night. The first was a bust, but we hit bingo with the second!
Yep, they got something.
Phoenix: Show us!
But Lotta does this instead, she hides the photos behind her back.
Lotta: Hell, naw. This is a genuine, big time scoop!
Cassie: What?! Lotta, help us out here!
Maya: L-Lotta please!
Lotta: Oh, I reckon I should tell the cops.
Leaving right away to do just that and ignoring them.
Phoenix: The cops?
Cassie: But we won't tell.
She seems to be trying to do what's right on Lotta's end.
Lotta: This photo reminded me...I saw the murder happen.
She did?! Ah man, this could a problem now.
Phoenix and Maya: WHAT!?
Not being happen to have some type of light energy flow from within Cassie 'and different from Mayas powers' she gets mad to hit a tree to tell it like it is to Lotta. Wow, I think Phoenix now sees that there was a lot on Cassie's mind.
Cassie: Grr...DAMN IT, LOTTA! DON'T DO THIS TO US!
Phoenix: Cassie...?
This even gets Maya to remind her of someone with this much power on what Cassie was showing a bit.
Maya: (Hmm...I've felt this from somewhere before.)
Calming down for Cassie to have that go away, Lotta freaks out a lot to then make her leave of packing everything.
Lotta: Ah...Sorry, Cassie. Really I am. But I hope it'll bring some type of justice. Take my word for it! Just doin' my part. When you see a murder, you'd best tell the cops! It's a civic duty. Smell ya later!
Getting the camp sight of hers clear out she gets her things, back into her van, and drives on out by running up there first.
Maya: Wait, Lotta!
Trying to chase after Lotta, she was too fast for them while Cassie was trying to get her head together from the strange feeling she just had.
Phoenix: What did you see?
Lotta: It's a civic duty!
And off she goes, so much for questioning Lotta now.
Cassie: Lotta... (Man, this feeling. Is it getting stronger over the years. I always felt people's heart, but now...I wonder if this special gift to help me solve murder mysteries with means so much more.)
Maya: Cassie...?
Cassie: Ah, yeah. I'm good, Maya. Don't worry.
Hiding it from the other two, they'll know soon enough. But for Lotta to mention the cops, Phoenix thought of another idea to do next.
Phoenix: Right, we should visit the police department too. Detective Suedeshoes might've learned something.
Cassie: It's Detective Dick Gumshoe-! Ah, forget it. Let's get going.
Maya: Okay!
And so, to the police station they go to get some answers and which Gumshoe said he helped them out on this murder case. And thanks to Gumshoe's help, he got the autopsy report on the murder victim to give out some information for the others.
Gumshoe: This is the victim's autopsy report, pal. And Kid, be happy I'm letting you look to memorize this well, so don't forget.
Cassie: So how was the victim killed?
Gumshoe: He was shot at point-blank range and died instantly.
Handing it over to Phoenix and Cassie to see it and study hard with Maya looking at it too.
Phoenix: Thank you.
Cassie: Nice work, Mr. Detective.
And who the person was...?
Gumshoe: We still haven't identified the victim.
Seeing the person's face, this comes to a shocker to Maya to be letting out a gasp but Phoenix and Cassie. Oh, boy...Will they find out who the murder victim was?
Cassie: Well, I guess we're back to the old drawing board on this one. Thanks, Mr. Detective, we'll let you know what we do find.
And it might take a while...With Phoenix, Cassie, and Maya sitting down for a break to be drinking...Maya was looking at the copy profile of the victim's death and a photo, while Phoenix tries to come up with something for him and Cassie can't give up on defending Edgeworth at all.
Phoenix: Anyway, we won't get anywhere until he asks us to defend him.
Cassie: We know. It just...We have to make Edgeworth change his mind right away, at the rate we're doing Phoenix.
Phoenix: I know, Cassie. He's hiding something.
Soon Maya notices something from the photo of the murder victim from somewhere before.
Maya: It really is him!
Getting up from the bench to catch the other two by surprise.
Phoenix: Who?
Cassie: What are you talking about, Maya?
Showing them the man in the autopsy photo and profile...
Maya: I met him once before, at the office where my sister worked.
Phoenix: The office Mia worked at?
I think they might have a lead yet.
Cassie: Yes! The one who trained Mia to become a defense lawyer.
Phoenix: You mean...Grossberg's office?
If Maya was serious to remember of Marvin Grossberg to know something from the victim, he was the best person to talk to.
Cassie: Nice thinking. Then let's pay our good old friend Marvin Grossberg a little visit.
Getting to his office building again, they all hope for Marvin to give them the answers they needed to hear. Who's the victim's name? Why was he killed? How is Edgeworth connected? And how do Maya and Mia know of the man from years ago...?
Marvin: You wanted to ask me something? Feel free. I'll help you out however I can.
He seem to change from the threat and blackmail from Redd White once, but not anymore to work fairly in his office again. Good for him.
Maya: Thank you.
She bows to say her thanks.
Cassie: Yeah, it's good to see the good old Marvin working hard as a lawyer again.
Marvin: Thank you for noticing, my dear. I'm happy to be free and work fairly in this attorney company for so long. So, what is it?
Phoenix: Do you know this man?
Showing Marvin the photo of the murder victim, to be a older man with long black hair in a business suit of some kind. From the reaction on his face, Marvin recognize him.
Marvin: He was a lawyer in my firm. But he quit a long time ago.
Cassie: What was his name?
And finally we get to know of the man's name and what he use to do from being a lawyer once. So pay close attention to these parts, because this will be very important.
Marvin: Robert Hammond. What about him?
Phoenix: He was found dead in Gourd Lake this morning.
This was news to him to hear.
Marvin: What? So he's the victim in Miles Edgeworth's case?
Phoenix: Yes.
Cassie: And we need to prove in Edgeworth's innocent. He would never kill someone, so we need to find the answers we can find. And one of them is to ask for your help.
A bit worried for Marvin feels the worse has come soon enough, for this was the day.
Marvin: He killed Hammond?
Phoenix: He didn't do it.
Cassie: And I just said that.
And yet this was a very shocking news to come unfolded.
Marvin: How did it come to this?
Phoenix: Wait, is there a link between Edgeworth and Hammond?
Cassie: Just tell us what happened, Marvin. Please? What do Robert and Edgeworth had a lot in common? What happened?
Trying to calm down, he finally says something to remember one event which changed everything.
Marvin: The DL-6 Incident.
Phoenix: DL-6...
Cassie: Incident...
Hearing this the case which went down years ago, Maya knew what it was to be very important to her as well.
Maya: I knew it.
Cassie: You know about the event, Maya? (Mia might've told me all about this.)
Seems so, and Marvin tells them the rest on what's the event was all about.
Marvin: "DL-6" is the sorting code the police gave the case. It was a strange murder case that happened fifteen years ago. Hammond was the defense attorney for that case.
Phoenix: What does such an old case have to do with Edgeworth?
Marvin: The murder victim in the DL-6 Incident was Edgeworth's father.
Surprising for the three to hear this about Edgeworth on the reasons why. Shocking a flashback on what happened...
Cassie: Tell us everything.
Marvin: Of course. Gregory Edgeworth. He was a top class attorney. Someone shot him to death. And the young Miles was with him at the time.
Showing an earthquake that took place to shutdown the power and three people being trapped in a elevator with three people trapped in it. For one was losing it of a cop, Gregory was staying calm, and the young Edgeworth was there during the time.
Phoenix: What?
Cassie: Who was Edgeworth's father.
Next to be showing a drawing of two lawyers against each other for one man in the stands with a judge in the middle. So who was Edgeworth's father?
Marvin: Well, Gregory Edgeworth was a excellent lawyer. He was butting heads with Manfred von Karma, the so called god of prosecutors. The murder happened right in the middle of that trial. He must have died with regrets, because he was the only one who could go toe to toe with Manfred von Karma at the time.
So Edgeworth had a teacher being Manfred who trained him to be a prosecutor lawyer like himself, as Manfred and Gregory fought a lot in court a while back. Man, so much of a rivalry even after death.
Phoenix: Manfred von Karma...
Marvin: Edgeworth's death must've come as a shock to von Karma, too. He even took the next day off.
Phoenix: Really...
Oh really? For someone like a very tough lawyer to win in every case, he just took a break after he heard of Gregory was killed from the case they did against each other?
Cassie: A guy like this Manfred took a day off? For someone on which he made Edgeworth become like this Manfred guy?
Marvin: It is very strange as well. That's the only day off Manfred von Karma has taken in his 40 year career. He must have respected Edgeworth a great deal. After the murder, he adopted Miles, who had nowhere else to go.
For Manfred to adopted Edgeworth for the great rivalry both him and Gregory once had? Sounds odd, doesn't it?
Phoenix: Edgeworth...
Cassie: It makes sense why he took Edgeworth in. What happened after Gregory was killed?
Marvin: Gregory Edgeworth's murder investigation hit a dead end, but the suspect was later arrested and put on trial. And Hammond was the one who defended him in court. His magnificent defense proved his client's innocence, after which the case went cold. And it remains unsolved to this day, fifteen years later.
Showing a attorney badge of a defense lawyer...Back then, Robert was go as a defense lawyer to be very hard from what happened when Gregory was killed. In other words, the case was never solved for Robert to win to let what they thought the killer was the same person, but wasn't to go free.
Phoenix: Okay, I get all that. But I don't see why Edgeworth would kill Hammond.
Putting the pieces together...
Cassie: *BINGO!* I get it. I think Robert got someone innocent for Edgeworth knew of this guy was the real criminal, he cheated.
Sounds about right.
Marvin: Correct, and there's more. Hammond ensured that the man who murdered Mile's father walked away scot free. It's understandable that he'd hold a grudge against him. But...It wasn't only Miles. That case ruined the lives of many other people. Including you, Maya, and your sister Mia.
Seems like Maya knows about it to feel sad to remember and news for both Phoenix and Cassie to learn about as well.
Phoenix: Maya and Mia?
Cassie: Wait, it does have to do with them. Mia was working on the case too, right? But something went wrong.
Marvin: Right again, my dear. Like I said, the investigation hit a dead end. In a bid to identify the culprit, the police secretly turned to a spirit medium.
Yeah, remember? It was Phoenix's second murder case.
Phoenix: A-A spirit medium? Don't tell me...
Marvin: Misty Fey. Their mother.
Bummer, huh? For Maya worries about her mother on where she was now today and losing her older sister was hard enough.
Cassie: So I was right.
Then he tells them what Misty use to do for Marvin, Maya, and Mia witness a while back. For Misty did summon the spirit of Gregory , to then not go so well as planned.
Marvin: The police channeled Gregory Edgeworth's spirit. And he identified the man trapped in the elevator with him as the culprit. In court, Hammond exposed this, accusing the police of using a fraudulent spirit medium. Though Misty Fey's channeling was only used as a reference, and not as evidence in court. But afterward, society repeatedly labeled her a fraud, and she disappeared.
From trying so hard and failed, Misty just left her village afterwards to never be seen or heard from again. This was making Maya even more sad.
Maya: That channeling was meant to be secret, but someone leaked it to the defense. My sister wanted to learn who it was. That's why she left home and became an attorney.
Cassie: So that's why...
Just then, Marvin places his head on the table to say on how sorry he was to Maya the most.
Marvin: Forgive me. I was the one who leaked the information...To the information-gathering company Bluecorp's CEO, Redd White!
And because Redd learned about this, that's how he blackmailed Marvin about it to be in the mess once.
Phoenix and Maya: Wait, Redd White?!
Cassie: It makes sense why he murder Mia...! That monster!
Ah...Who couldn't remember that murder? For him to be in jail now and his company to shut down, he did something like this for Mia to stop...only to be murder by the likes of this monster. So that's what happened. This has Cassie to get mad to try kicking something again, but stops herself this time.
Marvin: He sold the information to Hammond. And the police were disgraced in a manner that would go down in history. When White threatened to destroy my firm, I had to obey him!
Now it all makes sense on everything else.
Phoenix: So Mia came to you, fully aware of all that?
Cassie: She knew even if it coast her life for it! (Mia, why? I would've help you more if you just told me.)
Marvin: That's right. She stalked all she had to save me...No, everyone who'd also suffered at White's hands. She did everything she could.
Poor Maya was getting sad just hearing all of this.
Phoenix: And finally created a list that would expose White's wrongdoing?
From destroying the evidences as well after Redd murder Mia in the office without taking it to court in time. This has Maya sad, Cassie to worry more, and Marvin crying.
Marvin: Yes, a perfect list. But due to that, she was killed by White! Forgive me, Maya! And Ms. Freeman...I could've told you so much, but Mia told me to keep quiet. Your powers you were born with is special to use it for good for Mia wanted nothing more than help you use it to solve murder cases.
Tightening his fists for Phoenix remembers Cassie telling him about living in a foster home with no family of hers to get help thanks to Mia Fey's help; she understood to have Marvin's fist to tighten up in sadness, it wasn't his fault. Redd force him in the first place.
Cassie: I get it, Marvin, it's okay. We can do it this time without Mia's death being in vain. Just leave the rest to us.
The rest was up to the three now. For Maya was saying something to Phoenix and Cassie next 'as they were hanging on the bridge below the high way streets'.
Maya: The women of the Fey family have always been very sensitive to the spirit world. My mother and sister were no different. And now, it's up to me alone. But lately, my powers have grown weaker.
Not good, Maya's powers haven't been working lately.
Phoenix: What?
Cassie: But we've seen you training since you worked with us. Now this is happening? Maya...This is bad.
With this problem, Maya might not be able to call out for Mia's spirit even with this mess to be going on.
Maya: Yes. I can't even reach my sister anymore.
Makes sense why she was training a lot this morning.
Phoenix Is that why you were training this morning? Maya...
This mess was making poor Maya cry.
Cassie: It'll be okay.
Phoenix: As much as you will be too, Cassie. You've been having problems lately.
From the strange powers to feel out and to release in rage.
Cassie: Huh? It's nothing. I just need to tune it down the way Mia taught me too, I just got scared.
Phoenix: Is that why she took you in?
Cassie: She did...Phoenix, I want to use these powers for good and not to have others get hurt. Please believe me.
Holding each other, Phoenix has never doubt Cassie one bit.
Phoenix: It's okay. You're fine the way you are.
Maya: And if anything, I'll teach you to control them like I am.
It's good to have people like them on Cassie's side.
Cassie: Thank you. Phoenix, you're so sweet. And Maya, you will have your powers working just fine. I hope my real parents didn't leave me because of this special gift I have.
It'll happen soon enough, for Maya tells them to try to talk to Edgeworth again.
Maya: Let's go see Edgeworth again, Nick! Cassie!
Sounds serious, time to get back to work. As Edgeworth was sitting in his jail cell to be suffering deep down, the three return for another visit.
Officer: Miles Edgeworth, you have visitors.
And so he see Phoenix, Maya, and Cassie again to get some answers. For Edgeworth sees them not giving up just yet.
Edgeworth: You two are back?
Cassie: Edgeworth, we know about everything from your past so far. We understand.
A lot for Phoenix mention a familiar name of the murder case.
Phoenix: The DL-6 Incident...Is it related to this case?
This comes to a shock to Edgeworth to hear all about it.
Edgeworth: You got that far in a matter of hours? Wright, you always were single minded.
Cassie: But we want to do this, I want to know more as well.
Edgeworth: Cassie...Once you both start something, you see it through. Both of you.
Cassie: Then tell us what did happen last night, Edgeworth, please?
And so he does tell them on what went down on Christmas Eve night between Edgeworth and Robert.
Edgeworth: That night, Hammond asked to see me for the first time in fifteen years. He said he had something to tell me about the case.
Phoenix: Then you really were at the crime scene?
Edgeworth: We set out by boat. But before he told me anything, I heard gunfire. And the next thing I knew, I was along on the boat.
If that's what really happened, then who really shot Robert? That's the next question to ask about.
Phoenix: Who shot him?
Edgeworth: I don't know. I picked up the pistol without thinking.
Cassie: (Ah...It'll cause more problems in court tomorrow because of that.)
Yeah, for people will think Edgeworth really did murder Robert. Note to self - don't touch a murder weapon you see at the crime scene.
Edgeworth: I really don't want you involved in this case. That includes you too, Cassie. It's my problem, and mine alone.
Cassie: Like it or not, we want to see this through. From a very important murder case which wasn't solved yet.
But he wasn't the only one in this.
Maya: Cassie's right. I also want to know the truth behind the DL-6 Incident. No, I have to know.
Forgetting for Edgeworth did go up against Maya once to prove in her guilt, he still ask who she was.
Edgeworth: Who are you?
Maya: My mother's name is Misty Fey.
He remembers the last name too well, as he finally remembers of Maya is the daughter of Misty Fey.
Edgeworth: F-Fey?
Cassie: Yes, none other than our friend Maya Fey.
Edgeworth: Then you're that spirit medium's...
That she was.
Maya: I understand why you don't want anyone touching upon that case. I felt the same. Even Cassie wanted to know more form my sister Mia to try to get some answers, and died for it. But things have changed now. We have to face the truth, no matter how painful it may be!
Wow, what a very powerful speech from this girl to do so much as Maya can do for them.
Phoenix: Maya...
Cassie: Ah...yeah, what she just said.
Maya: Like Cassie, both Nick and Gumtree too also believe in you from the bottom of their hearts! So please place your faith in us, too! Let Nick and Cassie defend you!
Seems like Edgeworth does trust in them more than anything now.
Cassie: Please Edgeworth, let us help you in this case. Please...?
From a complete silence in the room for a few seconds and Edgeworth still blushing to see more of Cassie's beauty, he'll let her and Phoenix defend him in court finally.
Edgeworth: Very well.
This made them all happy to hear.
Cassie: Thank you...
Edgeworth: It pains me to ask this now, but would you and Cassie please defend me?
Phoenix: You can count on me.
Cassie: And me to solve any murder mystery like this one.
Edgeworth: Who could have guessed this day would come?
With many reasons why Phoenix wanted to see Edgeworth again since they are childhood friends.
Phoenix: This is my chance to finally repay you.
Edgeworth: Repay me? For what?
He seems to have trouble what that was from back then for only Phoenix to remember about.
Phoenix: Never mind. It's okay if you've forgotten.
For this, Edgeworth does give these guys a big warning on who they'll be up against.
Edgeworth: Let me warn you two. This will be an uphill battle.
Phoenix: I know.
Edgeworth: No, you don't.
He was being very serious.
Cassie: And why is that?
Edgeworth: You don't know how terrifying the god of prosecutors, Manfred von Karma, is.
Mentioning the name again, Phoenix and Cassie are going up against Manfred himself. He'll be a lot harder to beat in court.
Phoenix: Manfred von Karma?!
Cassie: Your teacher...? I knew Marvin would tell us everything, but to think we have to battle with the likes of him.
Maya: Wait, your mentor?
More about it for Edgeworth knows how Manfred gets the job done 'and not in a good way'.
Edgeworth: In his forty-year career, he has not lost a single case. He is truly a miracle prosecutor.
Seeing him working at the prosecutor building place 'the same where Edgeworth goes to as well', he wont be taken down so likely.
Edgeworth: Manfred von Karma...A frightening man who will do anything and everything it takes to win.
Showing him working at his special office with his papers ready for tomorrow, Manfred had a grinning look on his face to know that this murder will be his best one to take Edgeworth down for good. For someone who taught him a lot of things, talk about a double crosser here.
Cassie: This Manfred von Karma guy does sound like trouble then. (I got a really bad feeling about tomorrow's trial.)
And more to come next time...
