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 Episode 16. Search ~ Core 2001.) Last Time I managed to get Ayesha a not guilty verdict. I headed back to my office with Tamber to find more information about the mark. We find Brie and her sisters at my office. Maya was ahead of me and called them to my office. Brie told us that the marks was to in signify that they were his children and he had total control of them. The only way to get the mark was to have some contact with Him. Edgeworth showed up and told us they had a way to get EL Day Shock and Brie told him that it's impossible. During this conversation Tamber had a gun. She was being controlled and shot Tiki. At the hospital Edgeworth got a call from someone. Something bad happened.
(Music fades out)
September 10, 2027- 3:15 p.m. - Hickfield Clinic-Lobby
(Edgeworth's phone rings.)
Edgeworth
(Answers the phone.) Hello.
?
(On the phone.) Sir, you need to get to your office quick. Something is wrong with Kay.
Edgeworth
(Shocked. Search ~ Core 2001) What!? I'm on my way detective. (Hangs up the phone.)
Phoenix
What's wrong?
Edgeworth
(Puts phone away, turns around.) It seems that Kay is EL Day Shock's victim as well.
Phoenix
(Shocked.) The same time Maya was raped.
Edgeworth
It seems so.
Phoenix
And Pearls.
Edgeworth
I've gotta go, Mr. Wright!
Phoenix
I'm going too.
Edgeworth
Fine, take Tamber with you.
Phoenix
Right.
(Music Fades Out.)
September 10, 2027- 3:30 p.m. - High Prosecution Office- Room 1202
(Edgeworth opens the door to find Kay holding a gun.)
Edgeworth
(Shocked. Where did she get the gun?) Kay, drop the gun now!
Phoenix
She can't hear you.
(Tell the Truth 2001)
Tamber
I might get a hold of her.
Phoenix
If you take one step she will shoot.
Tamber
Then why hasn't she shot one now?
Edgeworth
Because she wasn't told to yet.
Gumshoe
What do you want me to do?
Edgeworth
(Looks to see Gumshoe is behind his desk.) Stay where you are.
Tamber
Give me room.
Edgeworth
(Shocked.) She's going to shoot you.
Tamber
Then I'll feel her energy from afar.
(Tamber hold out her right hand and close's her eyes. The room darkens as we only see Kay and Tamber.)
Tamber
Kay, listen to me. You need to fight this.
Kay
(Scared.) I can't move, what do I do?
Tamber
Clear your mind now. Think of where you are now. Think of what you are doing and stop it.
Kay
(Scared.) I'm scared. Where am I?
Tamber
You are locked away in EL Day Shock's mind. He's taking control of you.
Kay
(Scared.) He's, he's alive? I thought he was dead.
Tamber
We all did, you have to let go! Let go, Kay!
(The room lightens up and Kay is shaking. She drops to her knees and drops the gun. Kay starts to cry. Music fades out.)
Kay
(Crying.) What am I doing?
Tamber
What's with the guns?
Edgeworth
(Folds arms.) He seems to like it when metal flies. In Arin's case the butter knives flew with magic.
Phoenix
Mario Covert can do that.
Edgeworth
(Turns towards Phoenix.) Not as fast as Arin did it. The knives had to be pulled out with tools because it went straight threw the neck.
Tamber
(Looks at Phoenix.) A bullet wouldn't be any different than the knives Arin used with her magic.
Kay
(Crying.) Mr. Edgeworth, I'm scared.
Edgeworth
As everyone else is here.
?
Thank you, Tamber. You've made it easy for me to get him.
(They look over to see a man in a sharp business suit.)
Edgeworth
Mario Covert, right?
Phoenix
What's with…?
Covert
Finish that sentence and you'll be hurting.
Edgeworth
I thought I'd see you.
Covert
Make no mistake, what Brie said is true. And to answer your question Mr. Wright, the suit doesn't make the look of the mob, the hat does.
Phoenix
And you're not wearing a hat.
Covert
(Looks at Tamber.) I'll need you Tamber, to talk to all the girls and use my powers to seal them from his powers.
Tamber
(Looks up slowly at Mario.) That sounds like a plan.
Covert
I take it you can do this?
Tamber
(Puts her hand to her face.) It'll take time, but (lowers her hand.) I can do it.
Covert
Then take as much time as you need. Now, I need you to locate Edward for me.
Tamber
Edward? I know that name.
Covert
He's EL Day Shock.
Tamber
Okay.
(Tamber crosses her arms on her chest and closes her eyes. A light can be seen around her. She opens her eyes as the light dims.)
Tamber
He's here.
Edgeworth
(Shocked.) What!?
Tamber
He's in Lana's office.
(Search ~ Core 2001)
Edgeworth
This isn't good.
Covert
It's a trap.
Phoenix
I knew it was too easy. Tamber is a victim so he can mess up her mind.
Covert
No, the location is right. I mean it's a way to lure us to him. Lana is under his control. She just saw how someone receives the mark.
Tamber
(Eyes widen.) Really?
Covert
It's how everyone received the mark.
Phoenix
Ema needs to know about this.
Edgeworth
We've got to go down there and wait for him to leave the office.
Covert
I don't think that will work.
Edgeworth
No one waits forever, he won't either.
Phoenix
(Grabs on Edgeworth's shoulder.) Do you have a death wish, Edgeworth?
Edgeworth
(Shrugs, shakes his head.) Then let him bring it on.
Covert
We'll try it.
Edgeworth
Glad you see it my way.
Tamber
(Walks up to Phoenix.) Maybe you should have more of a backbone.
Phoenix
(Looks at Tamber.) He's done this longer than I have.
(Music fades out.)
September 10, 2027- 4:00 p.m. High Prosecution Office- Lana's Office
(Edgeworth and the other wait outside Lana's office when EL Day Shock exit's the room.)
Gumshoe
Edward Spelling, you're under arrest!
EL Day Shock
Fine, I'll finish my sentence.
Edgeworth
You're going to find yourself an attorney.
(Gumshoe places the cuffs on him.)
Tamber
Now to help Lana. (She runs into the office.)
(A gun shot is heard in Lana's office when Edgeworth runs in to see Tamber on the floor in her own pool of her blood. Search ~ Core 2002)
Phoenix
(Runs in.) What's wrong?
Edgeworth
Call 9-1-1! Tamber has been shot!
Phoenix
What!?
Gumshoe
(At the same time as Phoenix's line. Goes to a phone.) I've got it sir.
Edgeworth
Without Tamber, Lana will have to get out of it on her own.
(The color goes back into Lana's eyes and she drops the gun.)
Lana
What have I done?
Edgeworth
You didn't do anything. EL Day Shock had you under his control.
Lana
Edward Spelling?
Edgeworth
That's him.
(Edgeworth checks Tamber's pulse as the paramedics arrive. Music fades out.)
Edgeworth
She's still alive.
Lana
What was she doing here?
Phoenix
She was trying to break your trance.
Lana
How could she do that?
Edgeworth
She's a medium, since he's arrested Mario Covert can get rid of him once and for all.
Brie
As if.
(Brie shows up.)
Brie
So he has powers, big deal. He's not strong against him.
Covert
I didn't say I was doing it alone. Tamber can still help me.
Brie
You forget he can still control her.
Covert
(Looks at Brie.) You forget Brie, that your father can only control one person at a time. Do the math, Tamber was shot. He may think she's dead by now.
Brie
You may have a point.
Covert
I can freeze his powers in place. Once I can get him in the same room I'll be able to stop him from using his magic.
Brie
How?
Covert
Force field.
Brie
Witches has force fields and we can break them.
Covert
Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I can make my force field grow stronger with my mind, As long as I'm in that room he can't break it.
Edgeworth
(Looks at Brie.) Let me clarify it for you. Let's use a wall for instance. If you build a wall and leave it alone without keeping the up keeps on the wall it cracks then water hits it, it'll break, but if you keep repairing those cracks then when water hits it, it will not break.
Brie
Have it your way. If it doesn't hold up then your force field will be a wash out.
Covert
(Leans over to Edgeworth.) Don't put ideas into her head.
Edgeworth
(Looks at Mario.) What she doesn't know I can use it against her.
Brie
(Looks at Edgeworth.) Try me.
Edgeworth
(Looks at Brie.) If it does work (Points at Brie.) then you need to fill in those holes in your cracked logic.
Brie
I see, then we shall see who needs the repairs.
Edgeworth
(Arms wide open.) I'll fix it if it needs fixing.
Covert
You're courtroom battle had better be better.
Phoenix
It is, he can outsmart a Swiffer pad.
Covert
I like that.
(Mario Covert exits.)
Edgeworth
(Looks at Phoenix.) Outsmart a Swiffer pad? I like it. Time to sleep on it, Mr. Wright.
Phoenix
Yeah, sure.
Next Time
(Phoenix) So this case has come to an end. EL Day Shock has been caught. He will die because Mario Covert calls for death after the trial. This next case will close off the year 2027. A winter to remember when Iris and I find our Christmas spirit. It doesn't end there, this Christmas brings back the case I did when I first met Iris. Next Episode- A Very Merry Turnabout.

Iris
We're about to shoot anytime now.
Nicolas
I thought I had ten minutes.
Iris
That was 15 minutes ago.
Nicolas
Damn it.
(Rehearsal)
Nicolas
(Looks at Tamber after the scene is at a break.) Is there any way you can position your arms differently?
Tamber
I'm supposed to be loose and natural, Mr. Harrington.
Iris
(Lowers Tamber's arms.) We need to see your arms on camera.
Tamber
Okay, I can do that.
Edward
I can't wait for the Swiffer Pad joke.
Nicolas
You are a Swiffer pad.
