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 11. Search ~ Core 2002.) Last Time Mia investigated on a double murder, the victims were the parents of the defendant Arin Smith. Mia finds out that Arin is a study witch that is learning at a magic school called Wiz Wiz. She finds out the one in charge of the investigation is a man that is the principal at the school. His name is Leo Carson. Mia finds out more about Arin when she runs into Brie Spelling, a breaded season witch, who tells her that all witches go to Wiz Wiz to learn how to control their magic. Mia then finds out a problem. The way Arin sleeps may be caused by an allergy.
(Music fades out)
January 7, 2014- 9:30 a.m. - Defendant Lobby No. 6
(Arin enters the lobby. Courtroom Lobby ~ Neverending Overturn)
Arin
Well, I'm ready.
Mia
What did the doctor day?
Arin
He said its signs of an allergic reaction to a flower. But the tests don't match with my symptoms.
Mia
(Puts hand to chin, I thought for sure she would have been allergic to the black rose. What does this mean?) Have you seen a black rose before?
Arin
Yes, what does a black rose have anything to do with me?
Maya
(Looks at Arin.) They say if a person with a sixth sense smells or intake the black rose their body would start to burn from the inside out.
Mia
It's only a theory, but it does prove that an allergic reaction does occur.
Arin
(Puts hands to mouth.) Then my sleep?
Mia
No, the tests would confirm it. I don't know why they didn't.
Arin
What is it?
Mia
I can't say, more tests would be needed. I'll take care of this.
Arin
How do you know so much?
Mia
I'm a spirit medium, I have to know to protect myself. Let's go into the courtroom now.
Arin
Okay.
(Music fades out.)
January 7, 2014- 10:00 a.m. -District Courthouse Courtroom No. 9
(Gavel Slams. Trials and Tribulations ~ Trial Begins)
Judge Perciding
Let's begin the trial of Ms. Arin Smith. Is the defense ready?
Mia
Ready your honor.
Judge Perciding
Is the prosecution ready?
Leo
Ready your honor.
Arin
(Shocked.) Principle Carson, what are you doing up there?!
Judge Perciding
(Looks at Leo.) Didn't let your student know you were in charge of the investigation?
Leo
I did.
Arin
I didn't know that meant he was prosecuting?
Judge Perciding
That's how it goes. The prosecution can state its opening statement.
Leo
I'm here to prove that Arin was the only one that could have killer her parents. I feel that this was an accidental death do to the fact that she is still learning how to control her powers.
Judge Perciding
Going for a lesser crime?
Leo
I don't believe it could have been a first degree murder.
Mia
(This is going to be tough. I was sure he was going for first degree murder. I've read so much about the "Night Stalker" I didn't think I would have to face him. He and another famous private attorney never lost a case. They even worked on cases together.)
Leo
I'd like to call up Tyrell Badd to the stand.
(Badd takes the stand.)
Judge Perciding
I thought you disappeared.
Badd
I'm still working on an investigation. I come and go whenever I please. I work under Mr. Carson now.
Leo
Name and profession please?
Badd
Tyrell Badd, I'm the lead investigator on this case.
Leo
Could you lay out the crime scene for us detective?
Badd
(Music fades out, Testimony ~ Moderato 2004.) Sure thing
- It was January 5, at 7:00 p.m. when the crime accrued.
- Ms. Jessica Smith was killed first with a butter knife in her neck.
- Mr. William Smith was the second one to be killed with a butter knife to the neck.
- Ms. Jessica Smith was found in the basement after Mr. William Smith was found by the defendant in the living room.
- The defendant was arrested on the spot.
(Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
How terrifying.
Leo
(Holds out the butter knives.) I would like to submit the two butter knives into evidence, along with Ms. Jessica White Smith's autopsy report into evidence.
Judge Perciding
The court accepts these into evidence. The defense may cross examine the witness.
Mia
(Looks at Badd.) Who made the phone call?
Badd
A neighbor made that phone call.
Mia
Is this neighbor going to take the stand?
Badd
Yes
Mia
So how do you know that my client was the one who did it? Where she lives any witch could have done it.
Leo
(Looks at Mia.) Here parents don't live in Pangya. She's on vacation for the holiday. She stayed with her family, If you're going to ask if anyone was nearby then the answer is no, the next witness will answer to that.
Mia
But, that can't be.
Maya
(Hand to chin.) A student witch couldn't do that to her family, accidental or not. Someone has to have been nearby.
Leo
I'd like to call up Ms. Wendy Oldbag to the stand please. You may step down Detective.
Badd
Thank you.
(Badd steps down, Ms. Oldbag takes the stand.)
Leo
Name and profession please?
Wendy
(Looks at Leo.) I know you. (Eyes sparkles, hands in fist to her face, blushes) You're that "Night Stalker". One of the best investigators in the states. Worked for the F.B.I. I heard. And didn't you do cases with an attorney?
Leo
He's got business in other areas right now, for the record please.
Wendy
Right, Wendy Oldbag. I work on a security at Global Studios.
Leo
Your testimony please.
Wendy
(Waves back at Leo. Testimony ~ Moderato 2004.) You don't have to ask me twice.
- It was a very snowy evening.
- Snow was blowing everywhere, couldn't see a thing.
- I heard a scream of a woman and a drawer opening.
- Then I heard a scream of a man.
- I saw a young girl who was very out of it, like she was sleeping.
(Music fades out.)
Judge Perciding
That's quite the…testimony. The defense may cross…examine.
Mia
(Well, well, well. My break at last.)
Maya
(Looks at Mia.) Sis, Arin doesn't look well.
Mia
What do you mean?
Maya
She looks like nobody is home.
(The camera pans over to see Arin. Her eyes looks completely empty. Telling The Truth 2001.)
Mia
(Shocked.) Your honor may we have a recess?! My client isn't feeling well at all!
Judge Perciding
What seems to be the matter? (Looks down and sees that Arin isn't moving.) Oh, no we have another dead body here!
Wendy
(Points at Arin.) That's the same look she had at the crime scene.
Judge Perciding
We will take a 20 minute recess. (Gavel slams.) Courts adjourned.
(Music fades out.)
January 7, 2014 11:00 am. - Defendant Lobby No. 6
(Mia tries to wake up Arin, but it's no uses. A little girl with white hair shows up. Courtroom Lobby ~ Neverending Overturn.)
Mia
(Turns towards the little girl.) May we help you?
?
I told Brie that she was bewitched.
Mia
Who are you?
Mingty
Mingty Spelling.
Mia
(Looks back at Arin.) What do you mean she is bewitched?
(Search ~ Core 2002.)
Mingty
A warlock put a spell on her, whenever she gets near a black rose she blacks out. Her mind becomes controlled by the warlock.
Mia
(Looks back at Mingty.) Do you know who the warlock that did this to her?
Mingty
My father, El Day Shock. Also known as Edward Spelling.
Mia
That explains it.
Maya
(Looks at Mia.) How are we going to convince Mr. Carson that Arin is being brainwashed.
Mia
That's going to be easy, I need a break in the trial.
(Arin wakes up.)
Arin
(Rubs head.) Where am I?
Maya
(Looks at Arin.) In the Lobby.
Mia
Time to go back in the courtroom.
Maya
Right.
Mia
Thanks, Mingty.
Mingty
Be careful, my father can be mean. Protect Arin.
Mia
I will.
(Music fades out.)
January 7, 2014- 11:20 a.m. - Courtroom No. 9
(Gavel Slams. Trials and Tribulations ~ Trial Beings.)
Judge Perciding
We will resume.
Mia
Now for my secret weapon Ms. Oldbag. Did you see anyone else at the scene?
Wendy
Nope.
Mia
Right, with the snow blowing as hard as it was how could you.
Wendy
Glad you see it my way. That stubby detective kept stabbing me with that question said I was blind.
Mia
(Looks at Leo.) To tell you the truth, Mr. Carson. This testimony does leave room for someone else to be there, or are you going to say there wasn't any footprints to be found to suggest such a thing?
Maya
But if it was snowing you wouldn't find any to begin with.
Mia
Just what I was thinking.
Leo
If there was, who's to say they didn't do anything, but watch. I made it clear that she wasn't anywhere near a witch.
Mia
Ah, a witch. You forgot a warlock.
Leo
(Shocked.) Prove it.
(Telling The Truth 2004.)
Mia
I have a witness.
Judge Perciding
(Looks at Leo.) Any objections?
Leo
No objections, who's the witness?
Mia
Mingty Spelling.
Leo
(Shocked.) I thought you said a warlock.
Mia
I did, but she can tell you why Arin has been acting the way she's been.
Mingty
No, I can't. (Mingty shows up.) If I do Arin will get hurt.
(Music fades out, Telling the Truth 2001.)
Leo
(Shocked.) What?
Mia
Thank you, Mingty. That's all you have to say.
Judge Perciding
Now see here. I will not have anyone hurting anyone in my courtroom.
Mia
It can't be helped, your honor.
Mingty
Please don't tell. I don't want to see Arin hurt.
(A scream can be heard in the courtroom.)
Mia
(Shocked.) Arin, are you okay?
(Arin is on the floor in the courtroom with blood spilling out of her mouth.)
Mingty
(Crying.) ARIIINN!
Mia
(Head on desk.) Not again.
(The court was adjourned for the day. They took Arin to the hospital. Music fades out.)
January 7, 2014- 12:00 p.m. -Defendant Lobby No. 6
(Mia is in tears, and Maya tries to comfort her when Leo Carson shows up. Search ~ Core 2001.)
Mia
(Crying. Looks up at Leo.) What do you want?
Leo
What was that all about?
Mia
(Crying.) You saw it, she's your student, find out what's wrong with her.
Maya
We've got to find him.
(Brie shows up)
Brie
I'll help
(Music fades out.)
(To Be Continued.)
