Turnabout Countdown
???: Hehehehe...
This bomb will destroy everything... Nothing will be left...
If I make it look like that girl did this...!
December 18, 9:22 am
District Courthouse
Defendant Lobby No. 5
Phoenix: (Whew... this nervous feeling... it's kinda nostalgic.)
(But it's not a problem with a lack of experience, though.)
???: Mr. Wright!
How are you? You've been quiet for a while.
Phoenix: Huh? R-really?
I-I've just read up this case.
(Ugh... not good. My mouth's already chattering...)
(It's like I'm a rookie all over again.)
Phoenix: My name is Phoenix Wright.
I'm the 'Chief' of my defense law firm.
But just a while ago, I took a break from law.
(This is Athena Cykes.)
(She's a new attorney working at my office.)
Athena: I may still be a greenhorn, but it's nice to meet you!
My favorite things are orange juice after a good workout and triumphant victories!
Phoenix: She's really high-spirited, but her recklessness can get her into trouble sometimes.
Athena: But you know? You're something else, Mr. Wright. Pre-trial Image Training!
That's the Wright-way victory formula!
Phoenix: Uh, yeah. Sort of.
(She doesn't seem to be nervous at all. Compared to me, at least.)
Juniper: Mr. Wright, Athena... I'm... leaving today to you two.
Phoenix: (This is Juniper Woods.)
(Our client in this case.)
(She's also a childhood friend of Athena's.)
Athena: Relax, Juniper!
Mr. Wright will definitely get you that not-guilty you deserve!
???: Mr. Wright. Take this from me.
Phoenix: A-Apollo! (He should be in the hospital...)
(His name is Apollo Justice.)
(A junior attorney at my office.)
Are you okay with that injury?
Apollo: I-I'm fine! Ow.
Phoenix: (You don't look fine at all...)
Apollo: I couldn't get to sleep, being the victim of this case.
Phoenix: (A bomb went off during your trial, after all.)
Apollo: I really do want to stand in court...
Athena: Mr. Justice! No problem!
Those guys that suspect Juniper are just pushovers to Mr. Wright!
Phoenix: Eh? Ah, right! O-of course.
(Ugh. I really need to work on this...)
Athena: Ah! It looks like it's about time.
Phoenix: Athena, are you ready? (I'm really not.)
Athena: Yep! I'm always ready to fight!
Apollo: I can't do much but cheer from the gallery...
You better win this!
Athena: Let's do this! To victory!
Phoenix: Then let's go... to court!
December 18, 9:46 am
District Courthouse
Courtroom No. 5
Trial Day 1
Open Session
Judge: Court is now in session for the trial of Juniper Woods.
Phoenix: The defense is ready, Your Honor.
Payne: The prosecution is ready, Your Honor.
Phoenix: (...Whew. I'm getting more nervous standing at this bench.)
Judge: It has been quite a while. ...Attorney Wright.
Phoenix: Y-yes, Your Honor! I've been on a long leave!
Judge: Here you are, standing at the defense bench once more...
I look forward to seeing how the grown-up 'New Phoenix Wright' will do today.
Phoenix: W-well, what you're looking at is the result of plenty of gathered experience.
(Though I've been drawing a blank...)
Athena: Hehehe. There's nothing that'll faze him anymore!
Payne: Heeheehee. It's like watching Taro Urashima returning from his long absence.
Athena: Wha! How dare you! Y-you apologize right now!
You'll be KO'ed by the new Wright in 10 minutes!
Phoenix: (She went and said it... but that's too ridiculous!)
Judge: Hm. It would help to reach a quick verdict.
There is a time limit to the 'demo version', after all.
...Very well, Mr. Payne. Your opening statement, please.
Payne: The incident took place in Courtroom No. 4 of this very courthouse.
During the trial, a time bomb that was presented as evidence suddenly
detonated.
Here is the data on the bomb and the investigation's case report on the incident.
Plush Doll Bomb
Time bomb that destroyed a courtroom. Stuffed inside a doll when it detonated.
Bombing Incident Case Report
Explosion's center was near the defense's bench. Due to an early evacuation, there were no deaths.
Phoenix: (To check the evidence in detail, I click the 'Court Record' button.)
Judge: That doll with the ferocious face is a bomb?
Payne: Yes, Your Honor. The bomb was stuffed deep enough that the cord and timer could not be seen.
Judge: And the switch to the bomb was found on the defendant...?
Payne: Heehee. As how the defense seeks a 10-minute not-guilty verdict...
the prosecution seeks conviction through decisive evidence.
Judge: What is this...? Is it a little burnt?
Payne: This is the tail from the doll that held the bomb.
It goes by the frivolous name of 'Crazy Elly'...
Athena: H-hey! How could you say that!
Payne: This doll's tail is covered in vinyl.
And... the defendant's fingerprints were on it.
Phoenix: (W-whaaat!?)
Payne: There is no other explanation other than the defendant had touched the bomb!
Judge: Hm. This is indeed unwavering evidence.
The court accepts it into the record.
Crazy Elly's Tail
A part of the doll that held the bomb. Has the defendant's fingerprints on it.
Payne: Heeheehee. It seems this trial will be over in 10 minutes.
Of course... it will be with a guilty verdict!
Athena: W-w-what do we do, Chief!
Phoenix: What do we...?
You said it'll end in 10 minutes...!
Athena: Huh!? W-why is it my fault!
Judge: With the defense's unsightly discussion added to the record, let's continue.
...Mr. Payne. Please call your first witness.
???: .........
Payne: Witness, your name and occupation.
Barashima: Name -> Shingo Barashima
Occupation -> Riot Squad Bomb Disposal
Judge: What? Is that the voice of a machine?
Barashima: 'Keyboard Input' = 'Synthetic Voice'. It is the same as if I speak.
Judge: Hm. ...What a troublesome witness.
Payne: As he was to dispose of the bomb, he was present at the scene of the crime when the explosion took place.
First, please testify about the circumstances around the moment of the explosion.
Begin Testimony
~ Time of the Bombing ~
Barashima: I personally deactivated that bomb and brought it to court as evidence.
Name of bomb = HH-3000 Remote-controlled & Timed (Dual-compatibility)
I saw it from the gallery and was quite shocked.
I saw the bomb's timer had already begun countdown.
Judge: Hm. HH-3000... it is this bomb, isn't it?
Well, it's stuffed inside this doll, so you can't see it.
Phoenix: Did you make sure that the bomb's switch was deactivated?
Barashima: That is correct. HH-3000's time switch is simple to activate.
Anyone would know, even a monkey. Of course, that means the defendant as well...
Judge: Very well, Mr. Wright. Your cross-examination please.
Phoenix: ('Cross-examination'...! Right. This is where the real trial begins...!)
Athena: Wow! Oh, goodie! Mr. Wright's showing his true self!
Show us that 'man who strikes fear into hearts'!
Phoenix: Sure... Leave it to me! (The classic 'cross-examination'...)
(D-do I need an explanation about it from Athena?)
[I picked the 'don't need it option']
(I shouldn't ask my student how to do the cross-examination...)
(It's fine! I remember it well anyway!)
Then, let's begin the cross-examination!
Begin Cross-examination
~ Time of the Bombing ~
Hold it!
Phoenix: Are you sure that it was deactivated...?
Barashima: Absolutely. I deactivated by my own hands.
In an instant like this!
Phoenix: No! Deactivating goes beyond just taking it apart.
Barashima: Ah, excuse me.
Payne: Heeheehee. Attorney Wright, given the proper materials...
you can be sure that an expert would know if a bomb has been deactivated.
Phoenix: (Figures, he wouldn't forget to deactivate something like that...)
Could you tell us more details about that bomb?
Barashima: Understood.
Hold it!
Phoenix: What were its size and weight?
Barashima: Volume -> W23xD25xH24 Weight -> 5.4kg
Athena: ...Before you can take a step, you have to lift it up.
[TN: It's a saying suggesting that before every step, there are necessary things to do first.]
Phoenix: I have to lift it even without taking a step. ...The bomb somehow disappeared.
Judge: And so, where did you see... that bomb?
Hold it!
Phoenix: Why from the gallery?
Barashima: During the trial, we were on standby to keep watch in the slightest chance that something were to occur.
Though deactivated, the 'bomb' is still volatile.
[TN: He literally spelled out the kanji with 'fire' and 'burst'.]
It remains a dangerous object in any case.
Judge: Hm, such splendid dedication! Certainly a good role model to follow.
...And so, how was it when you saw it from the gallery?
Hold it!
Phoenix: Are you really sure you saw the countdown?
I don't think you could see the bomb's small timer from there.
Barashima: These goggles allow me to see small objects from far away.
I could clearly make out your face earlier.
Phoenix: (That's kinda creepy.)
Athena: Hmm. It's funny that he could see the timer.
Phoenix: I think so too. It's been bothering me a bit...
Athena: Huh? You were bothered...?
Phoenix: (The bomb was completely stuffed in that doll...)
(You can't see anything but the doll itself...!)
Athena: Look for those contradictions between the testimony and evidence!
Phoenix: I know. First, let's listen to the testimony again.
And then, we can make our counterargument with the relevant evidence.
Athena: Press 'Present' to open the Court Record and check the evidence!
Once you find the contradiction with the testimony, press 'present' again!
Umm. In this testimony, that time when the bomb exploded...
the conditions around that 'bomb-stuffed doll' are important to note!
Phoenix: (The bomb was inside the doll, so it couldn't be seen...)
Court Record
Attorney's Badge
It's my precious badge, and proof of my profession.
[Choose the doll]
Objection!
Phoenix: Is it true... that you saw the bomb count down?
Barashima: Of course. The timer was surely approaching zero bit-by-bit!
Phoenix: Mr. Barashima... you're lying!
Barashima: W-what are you saying?
Phoenix: There's no way you could have seen the timer.
Since, the bomb was stuffed inside this doll.
Barashima: !
Phoenix: Mr. Barashima! How did you know it was going to explode?
You couldn't see the timer, after all!
Barashima: Urgh... well...
Athena: N-nice one, Mr. Wright!
You found the contradiction just like that!
Phoenix: Well, kind of. (Nailed it!)
(Okay! I've just about settled down. Here I go!)
Judge: Very impressive, Mr. Wright! Truly the return of the 'man who strikes fear into hearts'!
At that moment, I remembered it well. The day when a legend was made...
The times when you would rampage through the courts with your probing bluffs.
Phoenix: ...You make me sound like a terrible person that way.
Judge: Witness! What do you have to say to this contradiction?
Barashima: Uh, uh, um... well...
Ah! T-that, that's it! I just remembered.
...The sound! I knew it by the sound.
Once the bomb is activated by the switch, its timer produces a sound.
'bee-bee-bee-beep'. The sound of the countdown.
Judge: I see. In that case, even if it was inside the doll, you could tell.
Barashima: I was slightly mistaken. My apologies...
Phoenix: N-no! (This isn't good...)
Payne: And now, let us move directly to the next witness.
Judge: Very well. Defendant, please take the stand.
Juniper: ..........
I... don't remember much about the time of the bombing...
Maybe... it's the shock from the explosion.
Payne: Hah! Enough with the innocent act!
Athena: Mr. Wright... can I give that prosecutor a beating?
Phoenix: W-wait! That's not right!
Athena: I heard a shriek from Juniper's heart.
She's just so scared...
Phoenix: (Her 'special hearing' lets her hear it.)
(The voice of Juniper's heart...)
[TN: In this case, it's more of a 'voice' than just a heartbeat.]
Payne: Now, please testify about the time of the explosion.
Begin Testimony
~ Time of the Explosion ~
Juniper: At that time, I... *cough* was watching the trial... *cough-cough*
The bomb exploded... *cough*
*cough*... The rubble... fell on me... *cough-cough*
Athena: Poor Juniper, she's feeling terrible. Having to remember that trauma...
She can't even come up with the right words...!
Phoenix: (What now...? Oh, wait...!)
(If she can't talk, we'll have to listen to her heart...)
(I'll need to borrow her 'power'.)
(Athena has a special ability.)
(Her 'special hearing' lets her understand the voices of people's hearts.)
(She can tell how someone 'feels' when they can't describe it by the tone of that voice.)
(If we use this power of hers, just maybe...!)
Athena.
Let's try listening to the testimony from Juniper's heart.
It's your psychoanalytic specialty, right?
Athena: ...! I got it. Let's try it!
Phoenix: So you can see Juniper's 'emotions' with that computer?
Athena: I can hear the voice of Juniper's heart in my ears.
I can reproduce what I understand from that testimony as an 'emotion' and 'image'.
I can then input these two things into the computer and it'll analyze the data.
Those wavering emotions in the testimony are represented by four 'emotion marks'.
Happiness and enjoyment are represented by the [green] 'Happiness' mark...
Anger and frustration are represented by the [red] 'Anger' mark...
Sadness and fear are represented by the [blue] 'Grief' mark...
Surprise and confusion are represented by the [yellow] 'Shock' mark.
Phoenix: With the help of your ability and that computer,
I can also understand the testimony through the emotions Juniper has.
...Is that right?
Athena: Yep!
Phoenix: (Okay! Let's listen to Juniper's heart's testimony!)
[Same testimony as before]
Athena: I've found the emotions from Juniper's testimony.
Phoenix: (So this is her power...)
Athena: And, there's an unnatural emotion that contradicts the testimony!
Phoenix: Huh? You already found it!
Athena: Look! At the time when the rubble is falling, there's a feeling of 'happiness'!
Phoenix: Ah! That is odd.
Athena: There's got to be some reason behind this conflicting emotion!
When you find an 'unnatural emotion'...
click the 'identify' button...
and then point out the unnatural emotion from among the 'emotion marks'!
[Follow the blinking lights]
Right here!
Phoenix: Ms. Woods!
When the rubble was falling, why did you feel 'happy'?
Juniper: Eh...! *cough*
Phoenix: Take your time. Did you remember something?
Juniper: Uh... yes. Um, just before I could escape from the courtroom...
The rubble fell on me...! I thought I was going to die.
Ah! T-that's right! But... at that time...
Mr. Justice came and rescued me...!
Phoenix: (So that's how Apollo got his injury...)
It looks like she was able to remember.
Athena: I'll input the new info and 'update' it,
and then we can listen to her heart's testimony again!
Phoenix: When I find the unnatural emotion, I click 'identify', right?
Athena: Yep! And point out the unnatural emotion from the 'emotion marks'!
Once you know the reason for this conflicting feeling...!
We can draw out new testimony from there!
Juniper: I... was too late to escape...
Before I could run, the bomb exploded.
I fell down in shock when the rubble...
I thought I was a goner...
but Mr. Justice came and rescued me!
[Click the blue one]
Right here!
Phoenix: You were really 'glad' when he saved you, huh?
Juniper: Yes... I was really glad. It was a relief that he saved me.
Phoenix: But, why did you feel 'sad' at the same time?
Juniper: Huh?
Phoenix: You see, Ms. Woods.
When you talked about being saved, you felt just a bit of 'sadness'.
Juniper: ...Ah!
I remembered about Wronged Rhiny...
Phoenix: 'Wronged Rhiny'? (Again with that thing.)
Juniper: Yes. I...
I came to the trial with my 'Wronged Rhiny' doll.
'Wronged Rhiny' is 'Crazy Elly's brother.
Phoenix: (Is this plush doll series really that popular?)
Juniper: I was together with Wronged Rhiny when I came in...
but when I ran, I think I dropped him...
Poor Rhiny... he got caught up in the explosion.
Athena: Mr. Wright! I can't hear a conflicting feeling from Juniper's heart!
Looks like we've drawn out everything from her!
Juniper: Ah, right! Please take a look at this poster!
This little guy is Wronged Rhiny.
Phoenix: (Ah! The design of this tail...!)
(That's it...! So this is what it's about!)
Your Honor! We've just heard some very crucial testimony from the defendant!
It's about the 'Wronged Rhiny' doll!
Judge: W-what!
Phoenix: (Okay! It's been more than 10 minutes...)
(Time to give Mr. Payne the final strike!)
Judge: Very well, please present your evidence!
What evidence of this 'Wronged Rhiny' overturns the prosecution's argument?
[Present the tail]
Take that!
Phoenix: Juniper... I'm sorry you had to recall that traumatic experience.
But, it's alright now. I knew you were innocent.
Judge: Mr. Wright! What are you talking about!
Phoenix: The two plush dolls were mixed up.
The defendant's fingerprints left on this tail are from the 'Wronged Rhiny' doll...
It wasn't the 'Crazy Elly' doll that held the bomb!
Payne: Whaaaaaat!?
Athena: Woohoo! That was so awesome! A huge turnabout!
Phoenix: ...Athena, settle down. The trial isn't over yet.
Athena: Ah! T-that's right! But now, we can't lose!
Let's get those guys who suspect Juniper!
Phoenix: Right. We'll prove Juniper's innocence with our collected power!
(...in the full release version!)
