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
(Recap of episode 5, Search ~ Core 2002: From Justice For All.) I walk into the courtroom and Kay Faraday almost died at the witness stand. Iris had me call for recess and have Kay be sent to the hospital. Kay claims to be alright when she found out her appendix burst. Klavier was called off as the prosecutor and Edgeworth is now the prosecutor. Who is the new witness he's talking about?
(Music fades out)
July 6, 2027- 4:00 p.m. - Gatewater Hotel Hallway
(Phoenix is talking to Gumshoe)
Phoenix
(Shocked) Who is the witness that Edgeworth is talking about?
Gumshoe
(Looking up) Hmm… let me think, Kay, Mr. Higurashi, and Iris Fey. I can only think of three witnesses.
Phoenix
(points at Gumshoe) Edgeworth said there was a forth one.
Gumshoe
Lang questioned him then.
Phoenix
(Puts hand down) Who is he?
Gumshoe
(Laughs.) I don't know, I saw a mask with four purple bars.
Maya
(Places hand on chin) That sounds like Diego Armando.
Phoenix
(Grime Look) That… can't be. (Places hand on chin) Wait a minute, purple bars?
Gumshoe
(Laughs) He has brown hair too.
Ema
(enters Ema) He must be Johnathan Armando.
Phoenix
(Grim Look) He had a son?
Ema
(Look up) A lot has happened in 8 years, Mr. Wright.
Phoenix
(Grim Look) That man hasn't forgotten me.
Ema
That may be true.
Maya
So what evidence do we have that relates to Kagome.
Gumshoe
Fingerprints on the bat and the black hair. It matches her DNA.
Phoenix
Another bind.
Ema
Funny, Apollo never had it this hard at all.
Phoenix
(Grim Look) He's never had to go through what I've been through.
Gumshoe
(Laughs.) Yeah, Edgeworth had those days, When Iris was a suspect.
Phoenix
(Grim Look) Lets not go down that road.
Gumshoe
(Laughs) No problem, let's focus on the case at hand now. So Stacy was here with her daughter Tammy.
Phoenix
(Places hand on chin.) Tammy?
Ema
Yeah, she's 12 years old right now.
Phoenix
Edgeworth was wrong. (Points to Ema) There's five witness.
Ema
(Looks up) Yeah, I don't see how she could not have witness it.
Gumshoe
(Grim Look) I would hate to think she was a suspect.
Phoenix
Tell me more about Tammy.
Ema
Tammy is a bright girl, afraid of almost every person she doesn't know. She's a straight A student, and she's very tiny. About the size of a 9 year old child.
Phoenix
That rules her out as a suspect for sure.
Maya
Where is she?
Ema
Right now she's in a child care.
Phoenix
She's at the Cand T Care Unit.
Maya
I know that place. They tried to put Pearly there and I told them not to. I ended up signing as Pearly's legal guardian.
Phoenix
Now I only need to hear her testimony. I hope Edgeworth questions her.
Maya
Why aren't we?
Gumshoe
Interpol won't allow you to. You have to get their permission.
Phoenix
I won't try. Interpol may try to shoot me.
Ema
Rough road.
Phoenix
Lets go, Maya.
Maya
Okay. (They leave)
July 6, 2027- 5:00 p.m. - Detention Center
(Phoenix is talking to Kogome when InuYasha comes in. Police Cell ~ Jailer's Elegy)
Kagome
(Shocked) InuYasha, what are you doing here?
InuYasha
(Eyes closes.) I wanted to see how a defense attorney works.
Phoenix
I would like to know if you saw anyone at the time of the murder.
Kagome
No, I don't think so. That girl on the witness stand was in the bathroom at the time when I left.
Phoenix
You should have seen the killer?
Kagome
I didn't.
InuYasha
(Fire in eyes.) Come on Kagome, think of something. You have to remember something or you'll be found guilty!
Kagome
(Closes eyes) Sit boy!
(InuYasha hit's the floor.)
Maya
(Looks at Kagome.) But InuYasha is right, you have to remember what you saw! Its things like this that sends you to jail. Interpol isn't going easy on you.
Kagome
(Crying) What do you mean?
Phoenix
Interpol has already got your head on a platter.
InuYasha
(Still on the floor faces down.) That's what I've been trying to tell you.
Kagome
(Crying) I'm sorry, it wasn't me. I was only on vacation with my family from Japan. Why would I kill someone that I don't know? InuYasha help me?
(3 Psyche-Locks shows up. Music fades out, Psyche-Locks)
Phoenix
(What the Hell?)
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) What is it Nick?
Phoenix
Three Psyche- Locks showed up.
InuYasha
(Gets up) I'm here for you, Kagome.
Phoenix
Hold It! I don't believe you are telling me everything.
Kagome
(Crying) What do you mean?
Phoenix
You know Stacy and this is how. (Shows Tammy's Profile.) You know her daughter
Tammy.
Kagome
What gives you that idea?
Phoenix
(Puts hand on chin.) You may not know her by name, but you've ran into her quite a bit. A girl that's afraid of everyone she doesn't know. You probably saw this girl run away from you a number of times.
InuYasha
I even know that girl. She's seen all the time in that hotel.
Kagome
What does that prove?
Phoenix
Did you ever speak to Stacy about Tammy?
Kagome
Maybe, I don't remember.
Phoenix
I would believe Tammy was there when her mother died. She ran into the bathroom didn't she?
Kagome
Now that you mention it I did see someone run into the bathroom.
Maya
She didn't just run into the bathroom, you told her to run into the bathroom.
Phoenix
Which means she remembers you and you spoke to her.
(The Psyche- Locks all unlock. Music fades out.)
Kagome
But how did you know?
Phoenix
Since I believe in InuYasha I will tell you my secret. This magatama lets me see into people's hearts. You'll need to testify in order to get an acquittal.
Kagome
What?
Maya
You've got no choice. They will find you guilty.
Kagome
I don't feel good.
July 7, 2027- 10:00 a.m. - Courtroom No. 3
(Gavel Slams. Ace Attorney - Trial)
Judge Perciding
Now we will continue the trial of Ms. Kagome Higurashi. Is the defense ready?
Phoenix
Ready your honor.
Judge Perciding
Is the prosecution ready?
Edgeworth
Ready your honor, I would start by calling up my first witness now. I'd like to call Mr. Johnathan Armando to the stand.
(Johnathan takes the witness stand.)
Edgeworth
Name and occupation please?
Johnathan
Johnathan Armando, but you can call me…
Phoenix
(Grim Look) Godot.
Johnathan
Godot? That's my father, try Johnathan Godot. My job is an attorney. I have no badge for a specific attorney.
Edgeworth
He's a private attorney hired by the state. They call him to fill in any role.
Judge Perciding
I see.
Edgeworth
Please tell us what you saw at the hotel.
Johnathan
(Testimony ~ Moderato 2004.) Okay
- I was asked by the state to get Stacy ready for her trial.
- When I approached her apartment I found a young girl with long black hair at her apartment door.
- I called the police only to find blood on her hands.
- She also had a baseball bat in her hands.
(Music fades out.)
Phoenix
(Shocked.) What? (Sweating bullets.) Nobody said anything about Kagome having the baseball bat!
(Telling The Truth 2001)
Maya
(Looks at Kagome.) Kagome hid her face.
Phoenix
(Sweating Bullets.) There has to be something wrong here.
Maya
(Puts hand on chin.) How can we prove that she wasn't holding the baseball bat?
Phoenix
(Puts hand on chin.) I need a time to think.
Edgeworth
(Shakes head with arms out.) I didn't see this one coming.
Phoenix
Mr. Armando, are you sure the girl you saw had long black hair like my client there?
Johnathan
(Sniffs coffee.) It was your client, Mr. Wright. She looked at me and said she found her here on the floor of her apartment.
Phoenix
(Sweating Bullets.) But it can't be right.
Maya
What do we do Nick? This is starting out just like that case we did when Edgeworth was the suspect.
Phoenix
But this time I know the testimony wasn't tampered with. Interpol was the one who questioned him not Edgeworth.
Edgeworth
Hold It! (Points at Johnatan.) Mr. Armando, I have to warn you, if anyone tampered your testimony you and that party will be fined.
Johnathan
You have my word.
Maya
We just have to keep asking questions.
Phoenix
What to ask though?
Judge Perciding
I'm afraid the defense can't prove anything so I will pass my verdict. I find the defendant GUILTY.
Kagome
What? But I didn't do it. InuYasha, help me!
Phoenix
I've gotta do something.
Maya
But we need something.
Edgeworth
Hold It! (Looks at Kagome.) Kagome, if you have something to say, say it.
Kagome
I'm sorry about the bat that was all I touched when I told Tammy to run to the bathroom. I was protecting Tammy from the killer.
Phoenix
Objection!
(Music fades out Objection! 2001.)
Judge Perciding
Who said that?
Phoenix
It was me. I found a flaw in Mr. Armando's testimony.
Judge Perciding
Deja-vu man. Deja-vu. I'll have to remove my verdict. Out with it.
Phoenix
The flaw is in the blood.
Judge Perciding
The blood?
Edgeworth
The blood?
Maya
What do you mean Nick?
(To Be Continued)
Next Time
(Phoenix) The trial isn't over yet. Kagome has one more day. What will the last three witnesses will say. Find out in the next episode. Part 4- Turnabout Mysteries
