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
(Flash back to Episode 7, Objection 2004) I had gotten a guilty verdict. The judge was right it was déja-vu. When Johnathan Armando got to the witness stand, I was completely stumped. That's when the Judge gave the guilty verdict. Then I remembered something.
(Music fades out)
July 7, 2027- 11:00 am.- Courtroom No.3
(Telling The Truth 2001)
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
Déja-vu man. Déja-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?
Phoenix
(Puts hand on chin.) If she was the killer then blood should have been on her clothes and on her face when a deadly blow to the head occurs, (Waving paper) then blood should have sprayed all over, including the killer.
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) There's another flaw, Nick.
Phoenix
(Puts hand on chin.) What's that?
Maya
Why would Kagome tell Tammy to go to the bathroom for protection? I understand telling her to leave because of her mother, but she said protect her.
(Music fades out, Pursuit ~ Cornered 2001)
Phoenix
(Shocked.) (She's right, Kagome said she saw no one, but Tammy. Could the killer still have been nearby?) Your honor, we have to hear Tammy's testimony. It's the only way to end this.
Edgeworth
Objection! (Points at Phoenix) Mr. Wright, you have forgotten. Interpol has control of this case. Getting Tammy to testify has to be cleared through Interpol.
Judge Perciding
Then you better get Interpol to have her testify. I do have power here and they better or they will be in a hearing about this.
Edgeworth
(Shocked.) It will be my pleasure your honor. This trial isn't over yet. I have two other witnesses that were scheduled today too.
Judge Perciding
Then we should take a recess for now to get the witnesses ready. This court is adjourned.
(Gavel Slams. Music fades out.)
July 7, 2027, 12:01 pm. - Defendant's Lobby No. 1
(Phoenix talks to Kagome. Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Prelude.)
Phoenix
(Looks at Kagome.) Now do you see what I mean when I told you that you have to testify?
Kagome
Yes, I'm scared.
Phoenix
It will all come to an end soon.
Kagome
(Looks down.) You know I didn't do it.
Phoenix
Edgeworth knows too.
Maya
That's why he had you to speak up.
Kagome
But he's a prosecutor.
Phoenix
I know, but he will make sure Interpol doesn't find you guilty if you are not guilty.
Maya
We have to get back to the courtroom.
Phoenix
(Looks at Maya.) Okay. (I wonder how Kagome's going to feel when her grandfather testifies.)
July 7, 2027- 12:30 p.m. - Courtroom No. 3
(Trial Begins 2001)
Judge Perciding
Let's get this trial underway.
Edgeworth
I would like to call up Mr. Higurashi to the stand please.
(Mr. Higurashi takes the stand.)
Edgeworth
Name and occupation please.
Mr. Higurashi
I'm Known as grandpa Higurashi and my profession is a priest.
Edgeworth
Then tell us what you saw or maybe heard during the crime.
Mr. Higurashi
(Music fades out, Testimony ~ Moderato 2001) Right.
- I was coming back from the diner.
- They served up a great breakfast.
- I heard a woman scream and it shocked me to the core.
- I saw Kagome run out of the room with blood all over her.
- She fell to the floor.
- And that was all I saw.
Judge Perciding
How very disturbing.
(Music fades out, Telling The Truth 2004)
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix in shock.) Nick, Kagome is shaking really bad.
Phoenix
I would too if my grandfather was trying to find me guilty. Mr. Higurashi, are you sure that you saw blood all over her?
Mr. Higurashi
(Looks at Phoenix.) Of course, I have her bloody clothes right here.
Phoenix
(Shocked.) WHAT?!
Edgeworth
(Shocked.) I was not told about this. Damn you Klavier, you knew this was going to happen.
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) Maybe that's why she was shaking.
Phoenix
No, there's more to her shaking than them clothes. We need to hear Iris' testimony. Your honor, I accepted these blood covered clothes.
Judge Perciding
(Nods.) Okay. (Shocked.) This is getting weird.
Edgeworth
The only one who can answer about these clothes is Ema.
(Ema takes the stand.)
Ema
We tested the blood yesterday afternoon when Mr. Higurashi brought them to me. The blood doesn't belong to the victim.
Phoenix
(Shocked. Sweating bullets) Then who do they belong to?
Ema
She's testifying today about it.
Edgeworth
(Points at Ema.) Then let's bring her out.
(Iris takes the stand as Ema and Mr. Higurashi leaves. Music fades out.)
Edgeworth
First of all, are you capable of testifying?
Iris
Yes.
Edgeworth
Name and occupation please?
Iris
My name is Iris Fey. And I am a Nun at the Hazakura Temple. I'm staying at Gatewater because Maya asked me to.
Edgeworth
Now before you testify I would like to present evidence. (Show a knife.) I have a knife here with the victim's fingerprints on them and blood on it. With that Iris can testify.
Iris
(Testimony ~ Allegro 2004) Thank you.
- I was with Stacy and her daughter before the incident.
- Tammy was one of them I was tutoring for a while.
- Then I heard the door slam open when I saw a woman in black come and attack me with a knife.
- Stacy pushed her off me and pulled the knife out of me.
- Then she picked up Tammy's baseball bat and hit Stacy on the head real hard and she went down.
- I could not move, but I heard someone yell out to Tammy and saw the woman in black fighting off someone.
- I saw Kay passed out outside of the room.
- I blacked out.
(Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
(Shocked.)…
Edgeworth
(Shocked.)…
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) The Judge and Edgeworth's eyes are about to fall out.
Phoenix
(Sweating Bullets.) Mine would be too. The mystery has finally risen.
Maya
That would explain how Kagome got blood on her hands.
Phoenix
Iris did Kagome fall next to you?
Iris
I don't…
Kagome
(Shocked.) That was you? I saw a girl on the floor, but didn't know who it was.
(Search ~ Core 2002)
Phoenix
(Looks at Kagome.) Thanks you Kagome, for answering my question.
Kagome
Oh, no problem.
Phoenix
(Puts hand on chin.) But we can't be sure who the woman in black is and who fought with her.
Edgeworth
This does not take Kagome off the hook.
Phoenix
(Looks at Edgeworth.) I know, Iris, did you see what the other person was wearing?
Iris
No, I saw Kay before I blacked out.
Phoenix
You knew then something was wrong with Kay.
Iris
Well at first I thought she was pregnant because she looked swelled around the waist. It's not until I saw her in the lobby that I knew.
Phoenix
What time did the hospital released you?
Iris
Around 10:30 the next morning, the stab wound was minor. Even a minor wound I lost a lot of blood.
Phoenix
No help, I can't find out where Kagome was in this testimony.
Maya
(Looks at Phoenix.) Mr. Higurashi already made her look like the criminal.
Phoenix
Maybe, but that doesn't prove it either. We need to hear Tammy's testimony.
Judge Perciding
Well we need more answers, Mr. Edgeworth have Interpol clear Tammy for tomorrow so we can continue.
Edgeworth
I'm on it your honor.
Judge Perciding
Then this case is over for today. Court's adjourned.
(Gavel Slams. Music fades out.)
July 7, 2027- Wright & Co. Law Office
(Phoenix is talking to Maya.)
Phoenix
So Maya, why'd you ask Iris to stay at Gatewater?
Maya
Iris was taking care of my daughter.
Phoenix
(Shocked.) You have a daughter, how sweet. Who's the daddy?
Maya
Umm, she kinda doesn't have a father see. Thanks to Edgeworth he's in jail.
Phoenix
What happened?
Maya
I was raped, Nick. I ended up keeping her though, but I wasn't the only one.
(Search ~ Core 2001)
Phoenix
Who?
Maya
Pearly and Kay were with me at the time.
Phoenix
I'd wish you you'd told me.
Maya
I was too scared, thank god I was the only one.
Phoenix
What's her name?
Maya
I named her after my sister, and she's 5 years old.
Phoenix
I'd like to meet her.
Maya
Someday.
(Music fades out.)
