Ace Attorney Opening
Phoenix
Hi, My name is Phoenix Wright. I was once a famous attorney that fought countless battles till one day I met a rookie prosecutor that cost me my badge. I aided Apollo through his battle. The courtroom has gotten to be even worse since I was gone. I went back and took the bar exam again to take on these fierce opponents. My road will change forever now because my old friends have come and helped me on my new quest in the courthouse. I am ready for battle, OBJECTION!
(Objection 2001: Ace Attorney: The Series Theme)
Phoenix
(Recapping the events from Episode 4, Telling the Truth 2004) Last Time on Ace Attorney, I took a case, where a prosecutor from the DL- 6 case is killed. The suspect is a girl from Japan, she came here with her family on vacation. He name is Kagome Higurashi; her friend is InuYasha, a half- demon. I find out that someone from out- of- country Interpol is needed for the investigation. The events all will come to an end when I find out the answers to this law and the case in its entirety.

July 6, 2027- 9:35am- Defendant's Lobby No. 1
(Phoenix is talking to Edgeworth; Kagome and Maya are sitting on the couch in the Lobby. Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Prelude.)
Phoenix
(With arms folded.) So about Lang's situation?
Edgeworth
(Folds his arms) I have to apologize to you Mr. Wright, I didn't know Lang did that to Trucy. Lang will not be head of this investigation.
Phoenix
Who is?
Edgeworth
(Lowers his arms) Ema Skye will be Gumshoe will be aiding Ms. Skye on this investigation.
Phoenix
(Lowers his arms, Looks away.) Because she has to run forensic.
Edgeworth
That's right.
Phoenix
(Raises his head and looks Edgeworth in the eyes.) It seems this is going to be an old classic battle.
Edgeworth
(Folds his arms, stare downs Phoenix.) If you're thinking I'm in this trial then you should rethink again.
Phoenix
You said you were…
Edgeworth
It would have been me, but our new Chief of police made some changes.
Phoenix
Who's the new Chief of police?
Edgeworth
(Lowers his arms.) I thought you knew; after all he was a magician in one of your cases.
Phoenix
(Eyes pop out.) Valant!
Edgeworth
I thought you and Trucy were on father/daughter terms.
Phoenix
(Shakes his head.) I was never told that he became Chief of police. I heard he retired as a Magician.
Edgeworth
(Places his right hand on Phoenix's left shoulder.) Good luck in your trial.
Phoenix
(Smiles.) I'm going to need it.
(Edgeworth exits, Kagome gets up off the couch and approaches Phoenix.)
Kagome
(Swing her arms.) Is he a friend of yours?
Phoenix
(Points at Kagome.) Not only that, he's working on your case.
Kagome
Really?
Maya
(Gets up off the couch.) Nick, we've got to go in the courtroom.
Phoenix
(Shocked.) Oh, yeah.
(Music fades out.)
July 6, 2027- 10:00am- District Courtroom No. 3
(Gavel slams down. Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations - Trial)
Judge Perciding
We are about to get this trial started on the case of Kagome Higurashi. I think that's how it's pronounced?
Phoenix
(Thinking with his hand on his chin.) (Without thinking it the Judge got it right.)
Judge Perciding
(Closes his eyes.) Is the prosecution ready?
Klavier
(Looks upon the defense.) Ready your honor.
Judge Perciding
(Looks over to the defense.) Mr. Wright, I can't believe you're back.
Phoenix
(Looks at the Judge.) Some old friends ask me to come back.
Judge Perciding
(Closes his eye.) I'm glad you did, the trials have become a horror movie without you.
Phoenix
(Places hand on his chin.) That bad, huh.
Maya
(Rubs her head.) Sounds like the prosecution has been chopping heads off.
Phoenix
With that many guilty verdicts it's a wonder why we are having court today.
Judge Perciding
Opening statements please?
Klavier
Yes, Ms. Kagome is without a doubt the guilty party to Ms. Stacy McMichael. I'm here to prove she hit Ms. McMichael on the head.
Kagome
Can the prosecution not be so dramatic with his opening statement?
Judge Perciding
(Shakes his head.) I will have to ask you not to frighten the poor girl with your opening statement.
Klavier
I'm sorry heir judge, I'd like to call Ema Skye to the stand please?
(Music fades out Ema Skye approaches the witness stand. Ema Skye ~ Scientist Detective.)
Ema
(She smile and winks at the judge.) Morning everyone.
Klavier
(Looks at Ema Skye.) Name and occupation please?
Ema
(She places her right hand on her glasses.) I'm Ema Skye, and I'm the lead investigator on this case and I'm in charge of forensic.
Klavier
Care to give us the layout of the crime scene?
Ema
(Smiles, music fades out. Testimony ~ Moderato 2001) Okay.
- The crime took place in Ms. Stacy McMichael's apartment.
- The killer had attacked her just as she was going to take a shower, because we found the shower running at the scene.
- The victim was found in her gown in the living room of her apartment.
- She was struck once on the head with a wooden baseball bat.
- This was approximately 9:00am yesterday.
(Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
The court accepts the autopsy report and the baseball bat into evidence.
Phoenix
(Rubs chin while looking at Ema.) Ms. Skye, I have a question to ask you.
Ema
(Smiles.) Yes.
Phoenix
(Rolls his eyes while rubbing his chin.) Was there a witness who saw this?
Ema
(Nods.) Three of them.
Phoenix
(Looks at Ema with hands to his side.) Are they sure it was a female suspect?
Ema
(Places her right hand on her glasses and winks.) They all say it was a female who killed her.
Phoenix
Thank you.
Ema
(Puts her hands to her side.) No problem.
Klavier
At this time I would like to call up Kay Faraday to the stand.
Phoenix
(Places his hand on his chin.) I would have thought she was with Edgeworth on an investigation.
(Kay Faraday approaches the witness stand.)
Klavier
(Looks at Kay.) Name and Occupation.
Kay
(Looks flushed and pale.) Kay Faraday, and I'm Edgeworth's assistant at the High
Prosecutor's Office.
Klavier
Oh, really, didn't know that one.
Maya
(Hand on chin.) Nick, doesn't she look a little pale to you?
Phoenix
Yeah, she's probably under the weather.
Maya
I hope that's all.
Phoenix
(Looks at Maya.) What do you mean?
Maya
(Places her hand on her chin.) I don't know.
Judge Perciding
(Closes his eyes and nods.) Please give out your testimony.
Kay
(Starts to sweat and shake. Testimony ~ Moderato 2001) Okay.
- I had just got done using the restroom.
- This was about 5 minutes to 9 when I saw a women dressed in black enter Ms. McMichael's apartment.
- I peeked into the room to see what she was doing.
- When I saw her swing a bat at Ms. McMichael.
- Blood flew everywhere and I became sick to my stomach.
(Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
(Eyes wide open.) I hope you're doing okay?
Kay
(Sweating and shaking.) I'm fine.
Judge Perciding
(Closes his eyes.) Mr. Wright, you may cross- examine the witness.
Phoenix
(Points his finger.) Hold it!
(Suspense 2001)
Judge Perciding
(Eyes wide open.) What is it?
Phoenix
Kay, why haven't you seen a doctor about your condition?
Kay
(Sweating and shaking.) What are you talking about?
Phoenix
I would cross-examine, (Points finger) but I can see you are not fine, (Puts hand down.) you're pale and sweating something terrible.
Kay
(Sweating and shaking. She clutches herself.) I'm fine really.
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) Iris wants to talk to you, Nick.
Phoenix
(Eyes widen.) Iris?
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) Call for a recess now!
Phoenix
(Looks at Judge.) Your honor, I need a recess, it's an emergency!
Judge Perciding
(Nods.) Sounds like a good idea. We'll take a 20 minute recess. Court is adjourned.
(Gavel Slams. Music fades out)
July 6, 2027, 11:00am- District Court, Defendant's Lobby No. 1
(Iris approaches Kay and Phoenix. Maya and Kagome is sitting on the couch next to them. Search ~ Core 2001)
Iris
(Looks at Phoenix and Kay.) You're probably wondering why I called you here.
Kay
(Sweating and shaking.) Why?
Phoenix
(Looks at Iris.) You know what's wrong.
Iris
(Looks at Phoenix.) Ema said there was three witnesses, right?
Phoenix
(Looks at Iris.) Well, yeah.
Iris
(Looks at Phoenix, places her right hand on her chest.) I'm one of them. (Looks at Kay.) Kay, you must see a doctor.
Kay
(Sweating and shaking. Looks at Iris.) I'm fine.
Iris
(Looks at Kay, places her hands on Kay's shoulders.) Your appendix burst, you're not fine.
Phoenix
(Looks at Kay.) That's why you're pale.
Iris
(Removes her hands off of Kay. Still looking at Kay.) I've call Edgeworth to pick you up.
Kay
(Sweating and shaking, Looks at Iris in tears.) I feel fine.
Phoenix
(Looks at Iris.) This proves it. Are you going to be called up?
Iris
(Turns around facing away from them. Has hands behind her back.) I should have been.
(Music fades out, Search ~ Core 2002)
Phoenix
(Walks up to Iris and grabs her hand.) What do you mean?
Iris
(Turn towards Phoenix, looks at him.) Because Klavier knew about Kay's condition and he didn't bother to tell the judge.
Maya
(Gets up from the couch.) If this gets out, the judge will have to postpone today's proceedings.
Phoenix
(Closes his eye, looks down, then looks back up and opens his eyes.) Klavier's not going to say anything. I will, let's go.
Maya
Right.
(Music Fades Out.)
July 6, 2027- 10:00am- District Courtroom No. 3
(Gavel Slams. Ace Attorney - Trial)
Judge Perciding
(Looking around.) Where's our witness?
Phoenix
(Looks at the judge.) She's being taken to the hospital. Now before you say anything, I have something to say. Kay should not have testify at all today. She had an appendicitis and her appendix burst at the exact moment that the crime occurred. The prosecution was aware of her condition and didn't do anything about it.
Judge Perciding
(Looks at Klavier.) A safety of a witness is priority number one.
Klavier
(Looks at the Judge.) But she said she was fine.
Judge Perciding
(Shakes his head.) A prosecutor must know when and when not to risk it. I will have to remove you from this case. A new prosecutor will take your place in tomorrow's trial.
Klavier
(Hits the wall with is right hand behind him.) I'm sorry heir judge.
Judge Perciding
(Shakes his head.) You should be sorry for Ms. Kay Faraday. She would have died if she wasn't treated ASAP. The trial will resume tomorrow. This court is adjourned.
(Gavel slams. Music fades out.)
July 6, 2027, 11:00am- District Court, Defendant's Lobby No. 1
(Kagome approaches Phoenix, Maya is sitting on the couch. Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Prelude)
Kagome
(Looks at Phoenix.) I'm not sure what happened?
Phoenix
(Looks at Kagome.) They have to appoint a new prosecutor for this case. I'm almost sure it's going to be Edgeworth.
Edgeworth
(Points out to Phoenix.) Hold It!
(Music fades out, Miles Edgeworth - Great Rival 2002)
Edgeworth
(Arms Folded.) Who was the prosecutor that almost sent Kay to her death bed?
Phoenix
(Looks at Edgeworth, then looks down.) Klavier Gaven.
Edgeworth
(Stares at Phoenix.) I have to replace him?
Kagome
(Looks at Edgeworth.) Mr. Edgeworth, are you going to be hard on me?
Edgeworth
(Looks at Kagome. Folds his arms.) All I can say is sit back and watch the show. (Drops his arms, looks at Phoenix.) Mr. Wright, Gumshoe will provide you with info about the case. Kagome is not in the safe yet.
Phoenix
(Looks at Edgeworth.) There's another witness?
Edgeworth
(Looks at Phoenix.) Yes, I didn't want to bring him on, but there is no choice.
Phoenix
(Eyes wide open.) (Who is the witness?)
(To Be Continued)
Next Time
(Phoenix) (Image of the next episode.) Who is this witness? Kagome is in a tight squeeze. I get flashbacks when Edgeworth was my client. Next Episode- Part 3- Death Row Turnabout.
