Title: Bridge to the Turnabout — Last Trial

God: Now, witness, will you state your name and occupation?

Maya: Maya Fey.

Maya: I'm the assistant manager at Wright & Co. Law Offices.

God: On the night in question, you witnessed the crucial moment

God: of Misty Fey being m*rder*d in front of your eyes.

PW: When it happened, there wasone more person there with you two.

PW: Yes, the true k*ller.

Maya: No! He was...

PW: "He"? Did you see that person?

Maya: I didn't. I mean, it was really dark.

God: It was impossible to tell if anyone was therewith just moonlight to go by.

Maya: Yeah! I couldn't see a thing!

PW: That's not going to fly.

PW: Just now, you said, "No! He was..."

PW: That suggests you recognized him.

PW: And now you're trying to cover for him.

J: C-Cover? What do you mean, defense?

PW: It was pitch dark back then.

PW: She couldn't have seen the k*ller clearly.

PW: But she still did, which means...

PW: You can't see a personhiding in the shadows of the night.

PW: But there are some thingsyou can only see in the dark!

God: You talk a good game, Trite.

God: Let's see you make it clearwho the k*ller in the dark was!

PW: Please turn off all the lightsin this courtroom!

J: Wh-What is this?

God: Now you've done it, Trite.

PW: Maya, you saw these three lightsin the dark, didn't you?

Maya: No!

PW: I've been thinking something about the crime scene didn't add up.

ioyaM,Sign: ayaM

PW: Strangely, the k*ller left the most conspicuous piece of evidence intact.

ioyaM,Sign: ayaM

ioyaM: ,ayaM

ioyaM: ,ayaM

J: A cover-up is meaningless when youleave something like this untouched.

J: Then why?

PW: Remember what happened when this was presented as evidence.

God: Nonsense.

God: Are you saying there's something written on the lantern?

PW: And we went through this once before.

PW: During the poisoning case at Très Bien.

PW: Prosecutor Godot,

PW: there are certain colors you can't see.

PW: You can't see redon a white background, can you?

PW: That's why you cleared outso much snow around the lantern.

God: Why am I the only one?

God: Why can't I see it?

PW: The defense formally accuses youof k*lling Misty Fey!

God: Then let me hear it, Trite.

God: Why would I have to k*ll Misty Fey?

PW: You didn't just k*ll Misty Fey.

PW: You saved Maya Fey's life.

God: I hate to break it to you, but I'm not as heroic as I may look.

God: Certainly not enough to protect a total stranger!

PW: Maya is a lot more thanjust a stranger to you.

God: What?

PW: After all,

PW: she's the little sister of the love of your life.

God: Mia... Fey.

PW: Exactly,

PW: Diego Armando.

J: Diego Armando?

J: You're him?!

God: The last time someone called me by that name was over six years ago.

m*rder_at_the_Co,Sign: m*rder at the Courthouse?!

Was_his_coffee_p,Sign: Was his coffee poisoned...in broad daylight?

Kaminagi_Soryu_s,Sign: Diego Armando

PW: All of this is related to a single case.

PW: A case in which the defendant k*lled himself.

PW: You stood beside Mia as she fought that case.

PW: In the end, she couldn't uncover Dahlia Hawthorne's crimes.

God: After that,

God: we thoroughly investigatedthat fake kidnapping incident.

God: The way she put her faith in her clients... That pure, sweet heart of hers...

God: It captivated me.

God: Then one fateful day, I told Dahlia Hawthorne to meet me

God: at the courthouse's cafeteria.

God: And then, I entered a deep, deep sleep.

God: That woman's poison did a real number on my central nervous system.

God: I lost my sight,and all of my hair turned white.

God: Five years later,

God: I miraculously regained consciousness

God: and found the worst possible newswaiting for me.

God: The woman I loved had been m*rder*d,

God: and the woman I loathedhad been sentenced to death.

God: For a sleepyhead like me, there were only two reasons left to live.

God: And they were why I became a prosecutor.

God: The first was you, Trite.

PW: Me?

God: If I were in your shoes, I would never have let her die!

God: She died because you were an immature child!

God: I wanted to see for myselfwhat kind of a man you really were.

God: And my other reason for living?

God: Maya Fey.

God: She was the only way I could make up for the sin of not saving Mia.

God: One year ago, Morgan Fey was arrested after the Kurain Village incident.

God: But it was obviousshe'd still be plotting something.

God: When I eavesdropped ontheir conversation during the visit,

God: I learned of the existence of a written plan.

God: I got to the letter before Pearland found its terrifying details.

God: I could've destroyed it right then and there,

God: but I decided to play along with their plan...

God: In order to outwit and get rid of them for good.

God: To do that, I needed help.

God: Help from Iris, a nun at Hazakura Temple, where the plan would be carried out,

God: and Misty Fey.

God: The police had been keeping an eye on her movements since the DL- Incident.

God: That's how I was able to contact her.

God: Because of my position as a prosecutor.

God: Then came the day.

God: I rushed to Hazakura Temple after Iris called me.

Hazakura_Temple,Sign: Hazakura Temple

God: There was just one way to stop their evil plan.

God: We had to make sure Pearl Fey didn't channel Dahlia Hawthorne.

PW: Is that why Elise invited Pearlsto her room that night?

God: But she never showed up.

PW: Because she went to the Inner Temple.

God: That's why Misty Fey had to channel Dahlia Hawthorne into her own body.

PW: If she channeled the spirit first,

PW: then Pearls wouldn't be able to do it.

God: I hid myself at the Inner Temple...

God: To stop Dahlia Hawthorne if it came down to it.

God: Anyway...

God: That's all I'm going to admit to.

God: There's just one question remaining.

God: "Who k*lled Misty Fey at the Inner Temple?"

God: Well, Trite...

God: If you're the real deal,then finish this thing once and for all.

God: Show that you can finish this on your own!

Maya: No, Nick! Please don't!

PW: Maya...

Maya: I heard the whole thing from Sis.

Maya: He risked his life for her and me, you know?

PW: I know that!

PW: But even so, it doesn't absolve him of his crime!

PW: No matter what the cost, I will find the truth!

PW: The defense presents its final piece of evidence: this!

J: Isn't that...

J: the dagger Dahlia Hawthorne was holding?

PW: Yes. Its tip is covered in blood.

J: But I thought we established that this sword was the m*rder weapon.

PW: Then why is therea bloodstain on this dagger?

PW: There's only one possible answerto that question.

PW: After she was stabbed, Dahlia Hawthorne reflexively attacked the k*ller!

J: What?!

PW: In other words, the blood on this daggerbelongs to the k*ller!

Sign: Objection!

Maya: Objection!

Maya: But he couldn't change his clothes or get treatment that night!

Maya: The bridge burned down!

PW: Maya...

God: I was trapped at the Inner Temple that night, meaning I couldn't hide my wound.

God: Now what will you do, defense?

J: What do you have to say, defense?

J: You've accused Prosecutor Godot of being the k*ller.

J: If you cannot prove it, I'll deliver my verdict right away!

PW: The question isn't whether I can prove it or not.

PW: I have to prove it! That's the only choice I have!

PW: I was taught that it's one of the rules of being a lawyer!

Sign: Objection!

PW: Objection!

PW: I can prove it!

PW: I'll gravely sunder yourmagnificent vengeance, just as you want it!

God: Big words, little man!

God: You can't surpass her in court! Never in a million years!

Maya: This is for the best, huh, Nick?

PW: If we turn our thinking about, it should be clear why there is no visible wound.

God: Turn it about?

PW: Instead of questioning whythere was no bloodstain on his clothing,

PW: we can show how exactly the k*ller hid the wound!

God: Mia?

PW: That's right. He's still hiding his wound as we speak.

PW: It's...

PW: Right beneath that mask!

Mia: Right beneath that mask!

PW: Prosecutor Godot, would you mindremoving your mask?

PW: If you have a dagger wound under there,

PW: then this whole case is solved!

God: There's no need for that.

God: Just now, I saw her spirit in you.

God: I could never forgive you.

God: That's what I thought.

Maya: Mr. Prosecutor...

God: But I was wrong about you.

God: The truth is, the only person I could never find it in my heart to forgive

God: was me.

J: You, yourself?

God: I was the one that failed to protect Mia.

God: I ran and hid behind a mask.

God: I threw away my true name.

God: I couldn't even deal with being a defense attorney, so I quit.

PW: But you saved Maya!

God: Yeah, that's what I thought. Up until just now, anyway.

God: You showed me the light. I wasn't really interested in saving anyone at all.

God: I think I was just trying to salvage what's left of my own broken soul.

God: I was trying to make up forthe fact that I couldn't save Mia.

God: That night, when I saw her silhouette in the darkness of the garden,

God: a part of me must have known the truth.

God: The truth that it wasn't really Dahlia Hawthorne standing there.

God: Misty Fey may well have beenkeeping her under control.

God: But I still picked up the blade.

God: I'm not sure exactly what was going on in my mind at that point.

God: Was I really motivated bythe pure desire to protect Maya Fey?

God: Or was it something else?

God: Was it a pointless desire for revenge against a woman who stole everything from me?

God: And now,

God: I don't know anything anymore.

God: I did learn something today, however.

God: I finally realized that I was the arrogant one.

God: You were the one who made merealize my folly.

God: You never ran away from Mia's death.

God: Instead, you picked up where she left off, as a true defender of the people.

God: In that one moment, I understood everything.

God: There's nothing left to say anymore.

PW: Prosecutor Godot...

God: If you don't mind, would you remember my name?

God: It's Diego Armando.

Maya: Mr. Armando! I believe in you!

Maya: I know you were trying to save me!

Maya: And I'm sure Sis and Mombelieve in you, too!

God: Thanks a lot.

PW: Your wound! It's bleeding!

God: Did you forget already?In my world, the color red doesn't exist.

God: These must be my tears.

God: Ever since I woke up from my coma,

God: I think I've been waiting for this very moment.

God: You'd do well to remember this, missy.

God: The only time a lawyer can cryis when it's all over.

J: It really is all over this time, isn't it?

J: Defendant...

J: Before I hand down my verdict, is there anything you'd like to say?

Iris: Well, there is one thingI'd like to say to Mr. Wright.

Iris: I want to apologize to you.

PW: Apologize to me? For what?

Iris: For the case in which my sister tried to k*ll you six years ago.

PW: Actually, I can't believe it even now, six years later.

PW: I find it unthinkable that she'd do that to me.

Iris: It's not all that surprising. The two of you hardly knew each other.

PW: What do you mean?

Iris: You and my sister...

Iris: You only met twice.

PW: Twice?

m*rder_at_the_Co,Signs: {\alpha&H&}m*rder at the Courthouse?!

Was_his_coffee_p,Signs: {\alpha&H&}Was his coffee poisoned...in broad daylight?

Kaminagi_Soryu_s,Signs: {\alpha&H&}Diego Armando

Iris: The first time was on that fateful day.

Iris: The next time was on the day of the m*rder at the university.

Iris: Those were the only two timesyou and my sister met.

PW: No way...

Iris: Ever since she gave you the bottle that day,

Iris: my sister was trying to get it back as soon as she possibly could.

Iris: You were a threat to her, and she wanted you gone at once.

Iris: I didn't want any more sins on her soul.

Iris: I begged her not to do it,

Iris: and she agreed to give me a chance.

Iris: I told her I would get the pendant back for her.

Iris: But I couldn't do it.

Iris: You were so happy about the present and cherished it with your life.

Iris: Six months passed,and I couldn't get it back from you.

Iris: Finally, my sister couldn't wait any longer

Iris: and committed that awful crime.

Iris: She paid no notice to my feelings for you.

Iris: I couldn't do it.

Iris: I couldn't protect either you or my sister.

Iris: All I did was deceive and hurt you.

PW: Iris...

PW: Let me just say this to you.

PW: The kindness you showed me was real.

PW: Even after Dahlia Hawthorne was found guilty,

PW: I still believed in you.

Iris: I hope you can forgive me one day...

Iris: Feenie.

PW: You really are the person I always thought you were.

Iris: Thank you.

God: How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know.

God: But this one here is the greatest cupI think I've ever had.

God: Don't you think so, Phoenix Wright?

PW: Yeah. I think you're right.

J: Very well! On the charge of m*rder, I hereby find the defendant...

Sign: Not Guilty

J: Not guilty!

J: Court is now adjourned!

Sign: Defendant Lobby No.

PW: Congrats, Maya!

Maya: Thanks, Nick!

Maya: I guess it's just like Sis said.

Maya: That night, she wrote back in my memo,

Maya: "Don't worry. Wright will save everyone in the end."

PW: Mia...

PW: Edgeworth?

ME: Well, you know...

ME: Excellent work, Wright.

PW: I couldn't have done it without you, Edgeworth.

LB: Hey, hey! Don't go forgetting me!

Gum: Same here! We were your right-hand...

Fran: Be thankful, Phoenix Wright.

Fran: I brought her from the Inner Temple.

Maya: Pearly!

PW: Pearls?

Pearl: Mystic Maya!

Maya: Pearly, you're all covered in curry gravy.

Pearl: Um, I took the Master's hanging scroll and...

Maya: You cleaned it up?

Maya: Thank you!

Maya: Don't run away and leave me anymore!

Pearl: Mystic Maya!

PW: Looking at Maya and the others, it hit me...

PW: This case happened because everyone was trying to protect what was dear to them.

PW: Did I protect anyone with my defense?

Mia: Wright...

Mia: You saved everyone.

Mia: You've accomplished something I wasn't able to.

Mia: Thank you.

Mia: Let's meet again someday, Wright.

PW: How hard can you fight for someone important to you?

PW: That's the true measure of us as people.

PW: We defense attorneys are warriors who areconstantly challenged by that question.

PW: The bonds forged in battle always return,even if they are severed.

PW: My wonderful friends are witness to that!

ME: You still have a ways to go, Wright.

Maya: All right! Go get him, Nick!

PW: Yeah.

PW: Objection!
