Ep TitLe:Turnabout Goodbyes — th Trial

- margin,PW:but I'm sure it involves the DL- Incident.

- margin,M:But wasn't Edgeworth a victim, too?

M:His father was m*rder*d.

PW:He has suffered for fifteen long years...

PW:I want to help him!

M:You're so nice, Nick.

M:He's a friend you hadn't seen in years,

M:but you're willing to go this far for him.

PW:There's a reason why.

PW:In the summer of fourth grade,

PW:our classroom became a crime scene.

G:You did it, didn't you?

PW:During PE, a student's lunch money was stolen.

Class:Thief! Thief!

T:Now, apologize to the class.

PW:I'd skipped PE, so I was the prime suspect.

PW:I learned what it meant to be truly alone, with no one on your side.

PW:And how painful it could be.

PW:Left with no choice, I went to apologize for something I didn't do.

PW:But that's when...

Objection,Sign:Objection!

ME:Objection!

ME:That will not be necessary!

PW:Miles?

ME:It wasn't you who stole my money, was it?

PW:No.

ME:Then hold your head high.

ME:Everyone's been shouting that you did it, but no one has any proof.

G:What are you saying?

G:It was your money that was stolen!

G:We don't need proof!

ME:In a court of law, the evidence tells all.

ME:Before you have the pretension to hold a class trial, at least realize that!

LB:You tell 'em!

LB:This is always how it is, everybody ganging up and picking on one person.

LB:Aren't you guys ashamed of yourselves?

PW:Larry...

ME:Without evidence or eyewitness testimony to prove his guilt,

ME:this boy is innocent.

ME:I rest my case!

ME:This trial is over. Court is adjourned!

LB:Get going! Court is adjourned!

PW:After that, the three of us became friends.

PW:I still can't forget his spirited defense of me that day.

M:Defense, huh?

M:Come to think of it,

M:Edgeworth's father was a skilled defense attorney, right?

PW:Yeah.

PW:He'd always say,

PW:"I'm going to become a defense attorney just like my father,"

PW:with a glint in his eye.

PW:That's why it came as a huge shock

PW:when we heard his father had died.

M:The DL- Incident...

PW:Back then, we didn't really understand it.

PW:But soon after the incident,

PW:Edgeworth transferred away.

PW:I believe that friendship never fades, even if you grow apart.

M:Signal Samurai...

PW:It wasn't until several years later that I saw his name again.

PW:I believe in the Edgeworth who believed in me.

PW:And I'm a defense attorney now!

M:Nick...

PW:Hello.

PW:You found him?

Sign:Boat Rental

DG:We caught him trying to flee, pal.

DG:We're gonna search the boat rental now.

DG:You wanna come, pal?

DG:According to your deduction,

DG:the victim wasn't shot in the boat that night...

Sign:Boat Rental

PW:I think this shack is probably the real crime scene.

M:When you think a m*rder occurred here, it looks really creepy...

P:Good morning. Good morning.

DG:It's just that thing.

M:Polly!

DG:When we arrested the old man, he had this parrot with him.

PW:I bet that stuck out like a sore thumb...

DG:That's how we managed to catch him, pal.

M:Say, Polly!

M:You know who the old man really is, right? Tell us!

P:Polly... I love you. I love you.

DG:There aren't any clues here at all.

PW:The only thing that remains is the warmth of this heated table.

M:Really warms you up, doesn't it?

M:The shack's next to a lake, but those fish are saltwater.

M:Maybe that's a lead!

DG:I'll report it, just in case.

PW:This safe is the other thing that's clearly strange.

DG:Yeah, clearly!

DG:It's been locked with a four-digit combination.

M:Oh, I know it!

DG:Huh? You do?

M:Say, Polly!

M:What's the combination to the safe?

P:Combination to the safe...

P:. .

DG:For real, pal?!

M:For real, pal.

M:Something's in there!

DG:A letter.

DG:The sender's name isn't on it...

DG:"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth."

DG:"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth.

DG:This is your last chance.

DG:Now is the time to get revenge on the two men who ruined your life."

PW:It's all here in perfect detail.

PW:The plan to m*rder Hammond and frame Edgeworth for it!

DG:What does this mean?

PW:In short, there was a mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes!

DG:I'm gonna try and learn everything about that old man's past, pal!

M:Who would send a letter like this?

PW:Could this be connected to DL-, too?

PW:Mr. Grossberg!

MG:You're... Wright?

PW:I have a favor to ask.

MG:Looks like the time has finally come.

YY:Let me out of here...

GE:Settle down.

YY:I can't breathe!

YY:The air... There's no air...

YY:You... Stop breathing!

Sign:December , AM District Court — Courtroom No.

J:Your opening statement, Mr. von Karma.

VK:In yesterday's trial,

VK:the defense pointed the finger at the boat rental's caretaker.

VK:But he denies any wrongdoing.

VK:So, to prove his innocence, I will call him to testify once more.

Sign:Witness — ???

J:Very well.

J:Your testimony, please.

Testimony,Sign:Witness Testimony

YY:Er, I'm really sorry about just leaving yesterday like I did.

YY:I, uh, went to buy Polly some food, see.

J:Polly?

YY:My partner, so to speak.

VK:A parrot.

J:Food for his parrot?

VK:He was not trying to flee.

VK:That is the truth.

J:I see.

J:Defense, your cross-examination.

PW:Yesterday, you claimed that you've lost your memory.

PW:Is that true?

YY:What's with the scary face, Keith?

YY:You're making Dad very sad.

PW:If we consider that you k*lled Hammond,

PW:you should remember committing the m*rder!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

VK:Objection!

VK:That is a baseless accusation!

YY:I would never dream of committing a heinous m*rder, ayup.

VK:If you say the witness does, in fact, remember his past,

VK:then show us proof of it.

M:There, we go!

PW:Give me that, Maya.

M:Sure thing.

PW:Here's your proof!

PW:A letter found in his room, inside the safe!

J:"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth."

J:Wh-What is this?

PW:This letter has detailed instructions on how to exact that revenge.

J:Dear me...

J:It details the exact same process the defense explained yesterday.

PW:The witness carried out this plan,

PW:and tried to frame my client.

PW:That means he had a motive to seek revenge!

Sign:Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth. This is your last chance. Now is the time to get revenge on the two men who ruined your life.

PW:And this letter is irrefutable proof of his guilt!

VK:Allow me to ask one question, then.

VK:That letter does not contain the names of the sender or recipient, does it?

PW:W-Well...

VK:It is a mere scrap that anyone could have sent to anyone.

VK:We can hardly call it proof!

VK:The defense's claims are still only unfounded speculation.

VK:In the first place, nothing links this witness to the defendant!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Objection!

PW:The victim, Hammond, and Edgeworth shared a connection.

PW:The DL- Incident.

PW:The case in which the defendant's father was m*rder*d.

PW:And Hammond was the one who defended the suspect!

J:But what does that case have to do with this witness?

PW:The DL- Incident, which occurred fifteen years ago, is at the root of this m*rder.

PW:Isn't that right, witness?

PW:There's one man who knows what happened back then.

PW:The defense would like to call Marvin Grossberg to testify.

J:Request accepted.

J:Call your witness to the stand.

Sign:Witness — Marvin Grossberg

MG:I'm Marvin Grossberg, an attorney.

MG:The victim in this trial, Hammond, once worked for me.

PW:Please tell us about the DL- Incident.

MG:It happened fifteen years ago, on December .

MG:Coincidentally, that is also today's date.

MG:It occurred here, in the district courthouse.

MG:That day, there was a major blackout,

MG:and three people were trapped in an elevator.

MG:Hours later, when the rescue team got in,

MG:they found Gregory Edgeworth dead inside.

MG:He had died instantly after being shot through the heart.

MG:There were two others in the elevator with him.

MG:Miles, who was ten years old at the time,

MG:and a court bailiff.

MG:Yanni Yogi, I think his name was.

MG:At first, it was considered an open-and-shut case.

MG:That Yogi had shot the victim in a panic.

MG:However, he pled not guilty.

MG:The investigation hit a dead end,

MG:and the police turned to a spirit medium for help.

Verdict,Sign:Fifteen Years Ago

Mis:The one...

Sign:Kurain Village — Channeling Chamber

Bo:The one who shot me was

Bo:the bailiff, Yanni Yogi.

GE:How is Miles?

GE:Is Miles all right?

MG:The victim's spirit said that Yogi k*lled him.

MG:The medium's name was Misty Fey.

MG:Her overwhelming power left all who witnessed it speechless.

M:Mom...

MG:The defense admitted that he might have fired the g*n,

MG:but added that, due to severe lack of oxygen in the elevator,

MG:Yogi hadn't been of sound mind and couldn't be held responsible.

MG:With that claim, Hammond forced a verdict of not guilty.

MG:Because of that,

MG:despite his acquittal, Yogi was socially vilified.

PW:So an acquittal wasn't enough to truly save Yogi?

DG:Due to Hammond's defense, he lost everything,

DG:his work and his family.

DG:One year after the trial,

DG:Yogi's fiancée committed suicide...

M:No way.

PW:So Yogi had reason to resent Hammond, didn't he?

MG:Indeed.

MG:And if he really was innocent,

MG:he must also resent Gregory Edgeworth's spirit for accusing him of m*rder.

PW:Your Honor!

PW:We now know that an individual exists who has a clear motive!

PW:His name is Yanni Yogi,

PW:and he is here right now!

PW:Former court bailiff Yanni Yogi.

PW:That is your name, isn't it?!

YY:Who knows?

PW:There's no point in playing dumb!

PW:We can find out by comparing fingerprints!

VK:The witness burned his fingers in an accident a few years ago.

VK:We cannot fingerprint him...

PW:He burned off his fingerprints to hide his past?

VK:Do you have any other way to prove your claims?

VK:The defense has nothing to say.

VK:This cross-examination is over.

PW:I'm so close...

PW:But I can't connect the witness to the DL- Incident!

M:If only we had a witness like Polly, who knows everything—

M:Oh, Nick!

PW:Yeah... That's it!

PW:The defense would like to cross-examine the witness's pet parrot!

J:Wh-What?

VK:The parrot?

VK:What is the world coming to?

P:Good morning. Good morning.

PW:I'm counting on you, Maya.

J:Wow, it can understand what you're saying?

M:Yes, Your Honor.

M:Polly, what's the combination to the safe?

P:Combination to the safe...

P:.

J:I can't tell if this parrot is useful or careless.

PW:This parrot knows about the DL- Incident!

PW:If we can get her to say it in court...

M:Polly, have we forgotten anything?

M:Come on, anything we've forgotten?

M:Huh? That's weird.

PW:What's the meaning of this?

M:It isn't working, Nick!

M:Polly won't say it!

VK:von Karma is perfect. You would do well to keep that in mind.

PW:Don't tell me von Karma expected this.

PW:He couldn't have retrained the parrot, could he?!

Sign:DL- Case File

VK:Let us excuse Miss Polly from the stand.

PW:Hold it!

Objection,Sign:Hold it!

PW:Polly has already given us a vital piece of information.

VK:What?

Sign:Autopsy Report Polly Jenkins

PW:This was in Yanni Yogi's file.

PW:Please take a look at his fiancée's name.

Sign:Polly Jenkins

J:"Polly Jenkins..."

J:Polly? Could this be...

PW:You named your pet parrot after your late fiancée, didn't you?

VK:A mere coincidence.

PW:Then what about the combination to the safe?

M:Polly, what's the combination to the safe?

P:.

VK:What about it?

PW:...

PW:December .

PW:The date of the DL- Incident!

VK:Another coincidence.

VK:Judge!

VK:Get rid of this bird at once!

Objection,Sign:Objection!

PW:Objection!

PW:Two coincidences at the same time is more of a pattern, if you ask me.

PW:Add this letter, and we're left with but one conclusion!

PW:Witness, your name is Yanni Yogi, isn't it?!

VK:Objection!

VK:No need to answer!

VK:It isn't worth dignifying such baseless—

YY:That's enough!

VK:What?

YY:I've accomplished what I wanted.

YY:I'm done.

VK:Who said you could...

YY:As the defense says,

YY:my name is Yanni Yogi.

YY:I used to serve as a bailiff in this very court.

J:Th-Then...

J:You're saying that you k*lled Hammond, and tried to frame Miles Edgeworth?

YY:Yes, I admit it.

:Order!

YY:Fifteen years ago, that attorney paid absolutely no heed to my words.

RH:Understand?

YY:How's Polly doing?

RH:If you want to see her again, do as I say.

YY:I didn't sh**t that man.

YY:However, that attorney made me admit to it,

YY:saying it was the only way to acquit me.

YY:But my release didn't change a thing.

YY:Everyone continued to treat me like a m*rder*r.

RH:Quit pestering me.

YY:I couldn't do a thing.

YY:And Polly... She said she was sick and tired of it all...

YY:Ever since, I've lived my life away from the public eye.

YY:Dreaming of the day I'd get my revenge!

M:But why did you target Edgeworth, too?

M:He was just a child fifteen years ago!

YY:Why don't you ask him yourself?

PW:Your Honor!

PW:The boat shop owner, Yanni Yogi, has just confessed to the crime!

PW:The defense asks that you declare the defendant not guilty!

J:What do you say, Mr. von Karma?
