*gasp*... *gasp*...

 

Dammit! ...Why me?

 

I can't get caught...

Not like this!

 

I-I've gotta find someone to pin this on...

Someone like... him!

 

I'll make it look like

HE did it!

 

 

 

August 3, 9:47 AM

District Court

Defendant Lobby No. 2

 

Phoenix:

(Boy am I nervous!)

 

Mia:

Wright!

 

Phoenix:

Oh, h-hiya, Chief.

 

Mia:

Whew,

I'm glad I made it on time.

 

Mia:

Well, I have to say Phoenix,

I'm impressed!

 

Mia:

Not everyone takes on a

murder trial right off

the bat like this.

 

Mia:

It says a lot about

you... and your client as well.

 

Phoenix:

Um... thanks.

 

Phoenix:

Actually, it's because

I owe him a favor.

 

Mia:

A favor?

 

Mia:

You mean, you knew the

defendant before this case?

 

Phoenix:

Yes.

 

Phoenix:

Actually, I kind of owe

my current job to him.

 

Phoenix:

He's one of the reasons

I became an attorney.

 

Mia:

Well, that's news to me!

 

Phoenix:

I want to help him out

any way I can!

 

Phoenix:

I just... really want to help

him. I owe him that much.

 

???:

(It's over!)

 

???:

(My life, everything,

it's all over!)

 

Mia:

...

 

Mia:

Isn't that your client

screaming over there?

 

Phoenix:

Yeah... that's him.

 

???:

(Death! Despair! Ohhh!)

 

???:

(I'm gonna do it,

I'm gonna die!!!)

 

Mia:

It sounds like

he wants to die...

 

Phoenix:

Um, yeah. *sigh*

 

Butz:

Nick!!!

 

Phoenix:

Hey.

Hey there, Larry.

 

Butz:

Dude, I'm so guilty!!

Tell them I'm guilty!!!

 

Butz:

Gimme the death sentence!

I ain't afraid to die!

 

Phoenix:

What!?

What's wrong, Larry?

 

Butz:

Oh, it's all over...

I... I'm finished. Finished!

 

Butz:

I can't live in a world

without her! I can't!

 

Butz:

Who... who took her away

from me, Nick? Who did this!?

 

Butz:

Aww, Nick, ya gotta tell me!

Who took my baby away!?

 

Phoenix:

(Hmm... The person responsible

for your girlfriend's death?)

 

Phoenix:

(The newspapers say

it was you...)

 

 

 

Phoenix:

My name is Phoenix Wright.

 

Phoenix:

Here's the story:

 

Phoenix:

My first case is

a fairly simple one.

 

Phoenix:

A young woman was killed

in her apartment.

 

Phoenix:

The guy they arrested was

the unlucky sap dating her:

 

Phoenix:

Larry Butz... my best

friend since grade school.

 

Phoenix:

Our school had a saying:

"When something smells,

it's usually the Butz."

 

Phoenix:

In the 23 years I've known

him, it's usually been true.

 

Phoenix:

He has a knack for getting

himself in trouble.

 

Phoenix:

One thing I can say though:

it's usually not his fault.

He just has terrible luck.

 

Phoenix:

But I know better than anyone,

that he's a good guy at heart.

 

Phoenix:

That and I owe him one.

Which is why I took the

case... to clear his name.

 

Phoenix:

And that's just what I'm

going to do!

 

 

 

August 3, 10:00 AM

District Court

Courtroom No. 2

 

Judge:

The court is now in session for

the trial of Mr. Larry Butz.

 

Payne:

The prosecution is ready,

Your Honor.

 

Phoenix:

The, um, defense is ready,

Your Honor.

 

Judge:

Ahem.

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright?

 

Judge:

This is your first trial,

is it not?

 

Phoenix:

Y-Yes, Your Honor.

I'm, um, a little nervous.

 

Judge:

Your conduct during this

trial will decide the fate

of your client.

 

Judge:

Murder is a serious charge.

For your client's sake, I hope

you can control your nerves.

 

Phoenix:

Thank... thank you, Your Honor.

 

Judge:

...

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright, given the

circumstances...

 

Judge:

I think we should have a test

to ascertain your readiness.

 

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Phoenix:

(Gulp... Hands shaking...

Eyesight... fading...)

 

Judge:

The test will consist of a

few simple questions. Answer

them clearly and concisely.

 

Judge:

Please state the name of

the defendant in this case.

 

Phoenix Wright

Phoenix:

Um... the defendant...

is me, right?

Mia:

Wright! Have you completely

lost your mind? Focus!

 

Mia:

The defendant is the

person on trial!

 

Mia:

You're his lawyer!

 

Phoenix:

Um, er, eh?

Oh yeah, right! Eh heh heh.

 

Mia:

This is no laughing matter!

 

Mia:

You did pass the bar,

didn't you?

 

Judge:

Sorry, I couldn't hear your

answer. I'll ask once more:

 

Leads back to:

"Please state the name of

the defendant in this case."

 

 

Mia Fey

Phoenix:

The, um, defendant?

That's... er... Mia Fey?

 

Mia:

Wrong, Wright.

Look, I have to leave.

 

Mia:

I have to go home. I'm...

I'm expecting a delivery.

 

Phoenix:

Aw, c'mon Chief.

There's no need to be

going so soon, is there?

 

Mia:

Wright!

 

Mia:

Listen: the defendant is

the one on trial--your client!

 

Mia:

I mean, that's about as

basic as you can get!

 

Phoenix:

(I put my foot in it this time!

I've got to relax!)

 

Judge:

Sorry, I couldn't hear your

answer. I'll ask once more:

 

Leads back to:

"Please state the name of

the defendant in this case."

 

 

Larry Butz

Leads to:

"The defendant? Well, that's

Larry Butz, Your Honor."

 

 

Phoenix:

The defendant? Well, that's

Larry Butz, Your Honor.

 

Judge:

Correct.

 

Judge:

Just keep your wits about

you and you'll do fine.

 

Judge:

Next question:

 

Judge:

This is a murder trial. Tell me,

what's the victim's name?

 

Phoenix:

(Whew, I know this one! Glad

I read the case report cover

to cover so many times.)

 

Phoenix:

(It's... wait... Uh-oh!)

 

Phoenix:

(No... no way! I forgot!

I'm drawing a total blank

here!)

 

Mia:

Phoenix! Are you absolutely

SURE you're up to this?

 

Mia:

You don't even know the

victim's name!?

 

Phoenix:

Oh, the victim! O-Of course

I know the victim's name!

 

Phoenix:

I, um, just forgot.

... Temporarily.

 

Mia:

I think I feel a migraine

coming on.

 

Mia:

Look, the victim's name

is listed in the Court Record.

 

Mia:

Just touch the Court Record

button to check it at anytime,

okay?

 

Mia:

Remember to check it often.

Do it for me, please.

I'm begging you.

 

Judge:

Let's hear your answer.

Who is the victim in this case?

 

Mia Fey

Phoenix:

Um... Mia Fey?

 

Mia:

W-W-What!? How can I be

the victim!?

 

Phoenix:

Oh! Right! Sorry! I, er,

it was the first name that

popped into my head, and--

 

Mia:

The Court Record button!

Remember to use it

when you are in a pinch.

 

Judge:

Let me ask that one again:

 

Leads back to:

"Let's hear your answer.

Who is the victim in this case?"

 

 

Cinder Block

Phoenix:

Oh, um, wasn't it Ms. Block?

Ms. Cinder Block?

 

Judge:

The person in question was a

victim of murder, not ill-

conceived naming, Mr. Wright.

 

Mia:

Wright?

 

Mia:

If you forget something, just

touch the Court Record button

to help you remember.

 

Mia:

A mistake in court

could cost you the case.

 

Judge:

I'll ask you again:

 

Leads back to:

"Let's hear your answer.

Who is the victim in this case?"

 

 

Cindy Stone

Leads to:

"Um... the victim's name

is Cindy Stone."

 

 

Phoenix:

Um... the victim's name

is Cindy Stone.

 

Judge:

Correct.

 

Judge:

Now, tell me, what

was the cause of death?

 

Judge:

She died because she was...?

 

Poisoned

Phoenix:

Oh, right! Wasn't she, um,

poisoned by er... poison?

 

Judge:

You're asking me!?

 

Phoenix:

Um... Chief! Help me out!

 

Mia:

Check the court record.

The Court Record button...

remember?

 

Phoenix:

(Geez. Give a guy a break!)

 

Judge:

Let me ask again.

 

Leads back to:

"She died because she was...?"

 

 

Strangled

Phoenix:

Right... she was

strangled, wasn't she?

 

Mia:

Please tell me that was

you talking to yourself.

 

Judge:

If you wish to hang yourself,

Mr. Wright, you're welcome to,

but not inside my courtroom.

 

Judge:

I suppose there's nothing to

do but give you another try:

 

Judge:

She died because she was...?

 

Leads back to:

"She died because she was...?"

 

 

Hit with a blunt object

Leads to:

"She was struck once,

by a blunt object."

 

 

Phoenix:

She was struck once,

by a blunt object.

 

Judge:

Correct.

 

Judge:

You've answered all my

questions. I see no reason

why we shouldn't proceed.

 

Judge:

You seem much more relaxed,

Mr. Wright. Good for you.

 

Phoenix:

Thank you, Your Honor.

(Because I don't FEEL

relaxed, that's for sure.)

 

Judge:

Well, then...

 

Judge:

First, a question for the

prosecution. Mr. Payne?

 

Payne:

Yes, Your Honor?

 

Judge:

As Mr. Wright just told us,

the victim was struck with

a blunt object.

 

Judge:

Would you explain to the court

just what that "object" was?

 

Payne:

The murder weapon was this

statue of "The Thinker."

 

Payne:

It was found lying on the

floor, next to the victim.

 

Judge:

I see... the court accepts

it into evidence.

 

Statue added to

the Court Record

 

Mia:

Wright...

 

Mia:

Be sure to pay attention to

any evidence added during

the trial.

 

Mia:

That evidence is the only

ammunition you have in court.

 

Mia:

Touch the Court Record

button to check the Court

Record frequently.

 

Judge:

Mr. Payne, the prosecution

may call its first witness.

 

Payne:

The prosecution calls the

defendant, Mr. Butz, to the

stand.

 

Phoenix:

Um, Chief, what do I do now?

 

Mia:

Pay attention. You don't want

to miss any information that

might help your client's case.

 

Mia:

You'll get you chance to

respond to the prosecution

later, so be ready!

 

Mia:

Let's just hope he doesn't

say anything... unfortunate.

 

Phoenix:

(Uh oh, Larry gets excited

easily... this could be bad.)

 

 

 

Payne:

Ahem.

 

Payne:

Mr. Butz. Is it not true that

the victim had recently

dumped you?

 

Butz:

Hey, watch it buddy!

 

Butz:

We were great together!

We were Romeo and Juliet,

Cleopatra and Mark Anthony!

 

Phoenix:

(Um... didn't they all die?)

 

Butz:

I wasn't dumped! She just

wasn't taking my phone calls.

Or seeing me... Ever.

 

Butz:

WHAT'S IT TO YOU, ANYWAY!?

 

Payne:

Mr. Butz, what you describe

is generally what we mean

by "dumped."

 

Payne:

In fact, she had completely

abandoned you... and was

seeing other men!

 

Payne:

She had just returned from

overseas with one of them

the day before the murder!

 

Butz:

Whaddya mean, "one of them"!?

 

Butz:

Lies! All of it, lies!

I don't believe a word of it!

 

Payne:

Your Honor, the

victim's passport.

 

Payne:

According to this, she was

in Paris until the day before

she died.

 

Passport added to the Court Record.

 

Judge:

Hmm... Indeed, she appears

to have returned the day

before the murder.

 

Butz:

Dude... no way...

 

Payne:

The victim was a model, but

did not have a large income.

 

Payne:

It appears that she had

several "Sugar Daddies."

 

Butz:

Daddies?

Sugar?

 

Payne:

Yes. Older men, who gave

her money and gifts.

 

Payne:

She took their money and used

it to support her lifestyle.

 

Butz:

Duuude!

 

Payne:

We can clearly see what kind

of woman this Ms. Stone was.

 

Payne:

Tell me, Mr. Butz, what do

you think of her now?

 

Mia:

Wright...

 

Mia:

I don't think you want

him to answer that question.

 

Phoenix:

(Yeah... Larry has a way of

running his mouth in all

the wrong directions.)

 

Phoenix:

(Should I... ?)

 

Wait and see what happens

Phoenix:

(Might be better not to

get involved in this one...)

 

Payne:

Well, Mr. Butz?

 

Butz:

Dude, no way!

That cheatin' she-dog!

 

Leads to:

"I'm gonna die.

I'm just gonna drop dead!"

 

 

Stop him from answering

Phoenix:

My client had no idea the

victim was seeing other men!

 

Phoenix:

That question is

irrelevant to this case!

 

Payne:

Oof! *wince*

 

Butz:

Dude! Nick!

Whaddya mean, "irrelevant"!?

 

Butz:

That cheatin' she-dog!

 

Leads to:

"I'm gonna die.

I'm just gonna drop dead!"

 

 

Butz:

I'm gonna die.

I'm just gonna drop dead!

 

Butz:

Yeah, and when I meet her in

the afterlife....

 

Butz:

I'm going to get to the bottom

of this!

 

Judge:

Let's continue with the trial,

shall we?

 

Payne:

I believe the accused's

motive is clear to everyone.

 

Judge:

Yes, quite.

 

Phoenix:

(Oh boy. This is so not

looking good.)

 

Payne:

Next question!

 

Payne:

You went to the victim's

apartment on the day of

the murder, did you not?

 

Butz:

Gulp!

 

Payne:

Well, did you, or did you not?

 

Butz:

Heh? Heh heh. Well, maybe

I did, and maybe I didn't!

 

Phoenix:

(Uh oh. He went.)

 

Phoenix:

(What do I do?)

 

Have him answer honestly

Phoenix:

(I know! I'll send him

a signal...)

 

Phoenix:

(TELL THE TRUTH)

 

Butz:

Er... Yeah! Yeah!

I was there! I went!

 

Judge:

Order!

 

Judge:

Well, Mr. Butz?

 

Butz:

Dude, chill!

 

Butz:

She wasn't home, man...

So, like, I didn't see her.

 

Payne:

 

Payne:

Your Honor, the defendant

is lying.

 

Judge:

Lying?

 

Payne:

The prosecution would like

to call a witness who can

prove Mr. Butz is lying.

 

Leads to:

"Well, that simplifies matters.

Who is your witness?"

 

 

Stop him from answering

Phoenix:

(I'll send him a signal...)

 

Phoenix:

(LIE LIKE A DOG)

 

Butz:

Um, well, see, it's like this:

I don't remember.

 

Payne:

You "don't remember"?

 

Payne:

Well then, we'll just

have to remind you!

 

Phoenix:

(I got a bad feeling

about this...)

 

Payne:

We have a witness that can

prove he DID go to the

victim's apartment that day!

 

Leads to:

"Well, that simplifies matters.

Who is your witness?"

 

 

Judge:

Well, that simplifies matters.

Who is your witness?

 

Payne:

The man who found

the victim's body.

 

Payne:

Just before making the

gruesome discovery...

 

Payne:

He saw the defendant fleeing

the scene of the crime!

 

Judge:

Order! Order in the court!

 

Judge:

Mr. Payne, the prosecution

may call its witness.

 

Payne:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Phoenix:

(This is bad...)

 

Payne:

On the day of the murder, my

witness was selling newspapers

at the victim's building.

 

Payne:

Please bring Mr. Frank Sahwit

to the stand!

 

 

 

Payne:

Mr. Sahwit, you sell newspaper

subscriptions, is this correct?

 

Sahwit:

Oh, oh yes!

Newspapers, yes!

 

Judge:

Mr. Sahwit, you may

proceed with your testimony.

 

Judge:

Please tell the court what

you saw on the day of the

murder.

Testimony

 

- - Witness's Account - -

Sahwit:

I was going door-to-door,

selling subscriptions when I saw

a man fleeing an apartment.

 

Sahwit:

I thought he must be in a

hurry because he left the

door half-open behind him.

 

Sahwit:

Thinking it strange, I looked

inside the apartment.

 

Sahwit:

Then I saw her lying there...

A woman... not moving... dead!

 

Sahwit:

I quailed in fright and found

myself unable to go inside.

 

Sahwit:

I thought to call the police

immediately!

 

Sahwit:

However, the phone in her

apartment wasn't working.

 

Sahwit:

I went to a nearby park and

found a public phone.

 

Sahwit:

I remember the time exactly:

It was 1:00 PM.

 

Sahwit:

The man who ran was, without

a doubt, the defendant sitting

right over there.

 

 

 

Judge:

Hmm...

 

Phoenix:

(Larry! Why didn't you

tell the truth?)

 

Phoenix:

(I can't defend you against

a testimony like that!)

 

Judge:

Incidentally, why wasn't

the phone in the victim's

apartment working?

 

Payne:

Your Honor, at the time of

the murder, there was a

blackout in the building.

 

Judge:

Aren't phones supposed to

work during a blackout?

 

Payne:

Yes, Your Honor...

 

Payne:

However, some cordless phones

do not function normally.

 

Payne:

The phone that Mr. Sahwit

used was one of those.

 

Payne:

Your Honor...

 

Payne:

I have a record of the

blackout, for your perusal.

 

Blackout Record added

to the Court Record.

 

Judge:

Now, Mr. Wright...

 

Phoenix:

Yes!

Er... yes, Your Honor?

 

Judge:

You may begin your

cross-examination.

 

Phoenix:

C-Cross-examination,

Your Honor?

 

Mia:

Alright, Wright, this is it.

The real deal!

 

Phoenix:

Uh... what exactly am I

supposed to do?

 

Mia:

Why, you expose the lies in

the testimony the witness

just gave!

 

Phoenix:

Lies! What?! He was lying!?

 

Mia:

Your client is innocent,

right?

 

Mia:

Then that witness must have

lied in his testimony!

 

Mia:

Or is your client really...

guilty?

 

Phoenix:

!!! How do I prove he's not?

 

Mia:

You hold the key!

It's in the evidence!

 

Mia:

Compare the witness's

testimony to the

evidence at hand.

 

Mia:

There's bound to be a

contradiction in there!

 

Mia:

First, find contradictions

between the Court Record

and the witness's testimony.

 

Mia:

Then, once you've found the

contradicting evidence...

 

Mia:

present it and rub

it in the witness's face!

 

Phoenix:

Um... okay.

 

Mia:

Touch the Court Record button

and point out contradictions

in the testimony!

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Isn't a man leaving an

apartment a common sight?

 

Phoenix:

I find it odd you would

take notice of him...

 

Sahwit:

Er... heh.

 

Sahwit:

I don't know. He just seemed

strange to me, that's all.

 

Sahwit:

Like he was mad, and yet

frightened at the same time.

 

Sahwit:

Just like... a criminal fleeing

the scene of a crime!

 

Phoenix:

The defense requests that

the witness refrain from

conjecture!

 

Payne:

Of course. What the witness

means is that the man he saw

looked suspicious.

 

Payne:

So, what happened next?

 

 

Sahwit:

I thought he must be in a

hurry because he left the

door half-open behind him.

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Half-open... you say?

 

Sahwit:

Yes, yes, the door was

open halfway. Yes.

 

Sahwit:

I watched for a moment, but

no one came to close the door.

 

Sahwit:

"That's odd, in a big city

like this," I thought...

 

Payne:

I see.

And what happened next?

 

 

Sahwit:

Thinking it strange, I looked

inside the apartment.

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

What gave you the

idea to do that?

 

Sahwit:

Well, the door was half-open,

you see.

 

Sahwit:

Isn't it only human

to want to... peek?

 

Sahwit:

We climb mountains because

they are there!

It's the same thing.

 

Payne:

Truer words have never

been spoken!

Anyone would look inside!

 

Phoenix:

(Hmm... why did Payne cut

him off so quickly?)

 

Payne:

So, you looked into the

apartment.

What happened then?

 

 

Sahwit:

Then I saw her lying there...

A woman... not moving... dead!

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Are you sure she was dead?

 

Sahwit:

W-Well, no, I guess I wasn't.

 

Sahwit:

But, she wasn't moving at

all, and there was blood

everywhere.

 

Phoenix:

(I guess that would look

fatal to anyone...)

 

Phoenix:

Very well, what happened next?

 

 

Sahwit:

I quailed in fright and found

myself unable to go inside.

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

So, you didn't touch

ANYTHING in the apartment?

 

Sahwit:

Um, yes. I mean no! Nothing.

 

Phoenix:

Okay.

What happened next?

 

 

Sahwit:

I thought to call the police

immediately!

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

You "thought" to call the

police? Does that mean you

didn't actually call them!?

 

Payne:

Please, please... Listen to

the rest of the testimony.

 

Payne:

You thought to call the

police... What happened next?

 

 

Sahwit:

However, the phone in her

apartment wasn't working.

Phoenix:

The phone in her apartment

wasn't working?

 

Sahwit:

Yes. I mean, no,

no it wasn't. Right.

 

Phoenix:

But you said you didn't

go into the apartment...

or did you!?

 

Sahwit:

Oh, oh, that? I can explain

that!

 

Sahwit:

There was a cordless phone

on a shelf in the entranceway.

 

Sahwit:

I reached inside and tried

using that to call...

 

Payne:

And that phone wasn't

working, correct?

 

Payne:

What happened next?

 

 

Sahwit:

I went to a nearby park and

found a public phone.

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Why use a public phone?

 

Sahwit:

Well, you see, I don't

have a cell phone.

 

Sahwit:

And, being the middle of the

afternoon, there was no answer

at the nearby apartments.

 

Phoenix:

Ah, right... what time

did you call again?

 

 

Sahwit:

I remember the time exactly:

It was 1:00 PM.

Phoenix:

1:00 PM!

Are you certain?

 

Sahwit:

Yes.

Absolutely.

1:00 PM?

Phoenix:

 

Leads to:

"You found the body at 1:00 PM.

You're sure?"

 

 

Sahwit:

The man who ran was, without

a doubt, the defendant sitting

right over there.

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Are you absolutely,

100% positive?

 

Sahwit:

Yes, it was him.

No mistake about it.

 

Payne:

The witness says he's certain!

 

 

Mia:

That's all of it.

 

Mia:

There must be a contradiction

in there somewhere.

 

Mia:

Examine the Court Record button

if something strikes you as

being suspicious.

 

Mia:

Then, find the evidence that

contradicts his testimony,

and present it to him!

 

 

 

Phoenix:

You found the body at 1:00 PM.

You're sure?

 

Sahwit:

Yes.

It was 1:00 PM, for certain.

 

Phoenix:

Frankly, I find that

hard to believe!

 

Phoenix:

Your statement directly

contradicts the autopsy report.

 

Phoenix:

The autopsy notes the time

of death at sometime after

4 PM.

 

Phoenix:

There was nobody to... er...

no "body" to find at 1:00 PM!

 

Phoenix:

How do you explain this

three-hour gap?

 

Sahwit:

!!!

 

Sahwit:

Oh, that! Oh, er...

 

Payne:

 

Payne:

This is trivial! The witness

merely forgot the time!

 

Judge:

After his testimony, I find

that hard to believe.

 

Judge:

Mr. Sahwit...

 

Judge:

Why were you so certain

that you found the body

at 1:00 PM?

 

Sahwit:

I... er... well, I...

Gee, that's a really good

question!

 

Mia:

Great job, Wright!

Way to put him on the spot!

 

Mia:

That's all you have to do:

point out contradictions!

 

Mia:

Lies always beget more lies!

 

Mia:

See through one, and their

whole story falls apart!

 

Sahwit:

Wait!

I remember now!

 

Judge:

Would you care to give

your testimony again?

- - The Time of Discovery - -

Sahwit:

You see, when I found the

body, I heard the time.

 

Sahwit:

There was a voice saying the

time... It was probably

coming from the television.

 

Sahwit:

Oh, but it was three hours

off, wasn't it?

 

Sahwit:

I guess the victim must

have been watching a video

of a taped program!

 

Sahwit:

That's why I thought

it was 1:00 PM!

 

Sahwit:

Terribly sorry about

the misunderstanding...

 

 

 

Judge:

Hmm... I see.

You heard a voice saying

the time on a taped program.

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright, you may cross-

examine the witness.

 

Mia:

Wright!

 

Mia:

You know what to do!

 

Phoenix:

I've got this one.

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

You said "heard"...

Not "saw"?

 

Sahwit:

Yes, heard.

 

Sahwit:

All I saw was the body

lying there...

 

Sahwit:

I didn't think to look at

anything else, least of all

my watch.

 

Phoenix:

Hmm...

Isn't that a little strange?

 

Phoenix:

So you're saying you

"heard" something.

 

Phoenix:

But if you were so shocked by

the body, you wouldn't hear

anything at all!

 

Payne:

 

Payne:

The witness did say he

actually heard the time.

 

Payne:

It's ludicrous to suggest

he "wouldn't hear anything"!

 

Judge:

Hmm...

I have to agree with

the prosecution.

 

Judge:

Witness, continue

your testimony.

 

 

Sahwit:

There was a voice saying the

time... It was probably

coming from the television.

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Are you sure it was a

television and not... a radio?

 

Sahwit:

Well, no, I guess it

might have been a radio.

 

Payne:

Incidentally, there was

no radio on the premises.

 

Payne:

There was only one

large television.

 

Mia:

Wright!

 

Mia:

I can't put my finger on it,

but something about this seems

fishy.

 

Mia:

Something about "hearing"

the television.

 

Payne:

The witness has testified.

He heard the time.

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

How do you explain the gap!

 

Judge:

Well, witness?

Can you explain this?

 

 

Sahwit:

I guess the victim must

have been watching a video

of a taped program!

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

A... video?

 

Sahwit:

Yes, that would explain

why the time was wrong!

 

Phoenix:

True, true...

 

Mia:

Wright!

 

Mia:

I think the problem lies

someplace else...

 

Judge:

We're agreed that you heard

the time at the scene, then.

 

 

Sahwit:

That's why I thought

it was 1:00 PM!

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Are you sure the voice you

heard said it was 1:00 PM?

 

Sahwit:

Yes, I can practically hear

it now. It was quite clear.

 

Judge:

Mr. Payne, has the prosecution

verified this testimony?

 

Payne:

My apologies, Your Honor.

 

Payne:

I, too, have only just learned

that the witness "heard"

the time.

 

Sahwit:

Oh, I'm really sorry. I only

remembered it just now.

 

 

Sahwit:

Terribly sorry about

the misunderstanding...

 

Press

Leads to:

 

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Well, you just watch it!

 

Phoenix:

(Hmm... Not much point

pressing him on that one,

was there?)

 

 

Mia:

Notice anything suspicious?

 

 

 

Phoenix:

Hold it right there!

 

Phoenix:

The prosecution has said there

was a blackout at the time of

the discovery.

 

Phoenix:

And this record proves it!

 

Sahwit:

...!

 

Phoenix:

You couldn't have heard

a television... or a video!

 

Sahwit:

Gah!!!

 

Sahwit:

I... well... urk!

 

Judge:

The defense has a point.

 

Judge:

Do you have an explanation

for this, Mr. Sahwit?

 

Sahwit:

No, I... I find it quite

puzzling myself! Quite!

 

Sahwit:

...

 

Sahwit:

Aah!

 

Sahwit:

W-wait!

I remember now!

 

Judge:

Mr. Sahwit?

 

Judge:

The court would prefer to hear

an accurate testimony from the

very beginning.

 

Judge:

These constant corrections

are harming your credibility.

 

Judge:

That, and you seem

rather... distraught.

 

Sahwit:

...!

 

Sahwit:

M-my apologies, Your Honor!

 

Sahwit:

It... er, it must have

been the shock of finding

the body!

 

Judge:

Very well, Mr. Sahwit.

Let's hear your testimony

once more please.

Sahwit:

There was a table clock in

Sahwit:

Yeah, the murder weapon!

The killer used it to

hit the victim!

 

Sahwit:

That must have

been what I saw.

 

 

 

Judge:

You saw a clock?

I guess that would explain it.

The defense may cross-

Gladly.

That strikes me as a very

suspicious mistake.

 

Sahwit:

Yes, I can see how you'd

be a little doubtful...

 

Sahwit:

I'm really sorry. I only

just remembered that

table clock.

 

Judge:

A "table clock"?

 

 

Sahwit:

There was a table clock in

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

A "table clock"?

Was there a clock

This is the first

I've heard of it!

 

 

Sahwit:

Yeah, the murder weapon!

The killer used it to

hit the victim!

 

Press

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

The... murder weapon?

 

Sahwit:

Yes, the table clock that

was used as a weapon!

 

Sahwit:

That's what I just said. Did

you doze off in the middle

of my testimony or something?

 

Phoenix:

(Something's fishy here...)

That must have

Phoenix:

Why didn't you tell us

that in the first place?

 

Sahwit:

I guess it just

slipped my mind!

 

Sahwit:

I'm not really sure how it

happened myself...

 

Payne:

The witness says he saw the

table clock. End of story.

 

 

Mia:

Now, find the contradiction!

 

 

 

Phoenix:

Wait just a moment!

 

Phoenix:

The murder weapon wasn't

a clock.

It was this statue!

 

Phoenix:

Now how is this supposed

to be a clock?

 

Sahwit:

Whaa!?

 

Sahwit:

Y-you with your "objections,"

and your "evidence"... Just

who do you think you are!?

 

Phoenix:

Just answer the question,

Mr. Sahwit.

 

Sahwit:

Hey, I... I saw it there, okay!

That's a clock!

 

Payne:

Your Honor!

If I may...

 

Judge:

Yes, Mr. Payne?

 

Payne:

As the witness stated, this

statue is indeed a clock.

 

Payne:

The neck is a switch. You just

tilt it, and it says the time

out loud.

 

Payne:

As it doesn't look like a

clock, I submitted it as a

statue. My apologies.

 

Judge:

I see.

 

Judge:

So the murder weapon was a

table clock after all.

 

Judge:

Well, Mr. Wright?

 

Judge:

It appears that the witness's

testimony was correct.

This is a clock.

 

Judge:

Do you have any problems

with his testimony now?

 

No

Phoenix:

I guess not.

 

Phoenix:

There was a clock on the

scene, so, no problem.

 

Mia:

Wright! Are you out

of your mind!?

 

Mia:

That clock doesn't look

like a clock at all!

 

Mia:

The witness couldn't have

possibly know it was a clock

just by seeing it!

 

Mia:

He said it himself, he never

entered the apartment!

 

Mia:

It was in his testimony!

 

Phoenix:

Hey!

You're right!

 

Judge:

Is something the matter?

Does the defense have anything to add?

 

Phoenix:

Yes...

Yes I do!

 

Leads to:

"The only way he could have

known the weapon was a clock

is to hold it in his hand."

 

 

Yes

Phoenix:

Your Honor, there is

a gaping hole in the

witness's testimony!

 

Leads to:

"The only way he could have

known the weapon was a clock

is to hold it in his hand."

 

 

Phoenix:

The only was he could have

known the weapon was a clock

is to hold it in his hand.

 

Phoenix:

Yet the witness testified

that he never entered the

apartment!

 

Phoenix:

Clearly, a contradiction!

 

Judge:

Hmm... indeed!

 

Phoenix:

The witness knew it was

a clock, because he...

 

Went into the apartment

Leads to:

"You're lying!"

 

 

Knew the victim

Phoenix:

Tell me, isn't it true that

you knew the victim?

 

Phoenix:

In fact, you were one of her

"sugar daddies"! Be frank

with us, Mr. Sahwit!

 

Sahwit:

Hmph.

 

Sahwit:

"Frank"? I'm always "Frank"!

 

Payne:

Your Honor.

 

Payne:

We have complete records of

the victim's relationships.

 

Payne:

Mr. Frank Sahwit does

not appear anywhere.

 

Phoenix:

Huh?

Oh, really?

 

Judge:

Please, Mr. Wright...

Is "Huh" the best response

you can muster up?

 

Judge:

Try to refrain from making

off-the-cuff accusations

in the future.

 

Phoenix:

Y-yes, Your Honor.

Let me think this over.

 

Leads back to:

"The witness knew it was

a clock, because he..."

 

 

Phoenix:

You're lying!

 

Phoenix:

You were inside the apartment

on the day of the murder!

 

Sahwit:

Oh yeah? Prove it!

Prove I went in there!

 

Phoenix:

I'll do better than that!

I can prove you were the one

who killed her!

 

Sahwit:

You struck her with the clock,

and the shock of the blow

triggered the clock's voice!

 

Phoenix:

That was the sound you heard!

 

Judge:

Order in the court!

 

Judge:

Intriguing.

Please continue, Mr. Wright.

 

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Phoenix:

Mr. Sahwit.

 

Phoenix:

The sound must have left

quite an impression on you.

 

Phoenix:

Understandable, since the

murder weapon spoke just as

you hit the victim!

 

Phoenix:

That voice was burned

into your mind.

 

Phoenix:

That's why you were so

certain about the time!

 

Payne:

 

Payne:

W-w-what's the meaning

of this?

 

Payne:

This is all baseless

conjecture!

 

Phoenix:

Baseless... ?

 

Phoenix:

Just look at the

witness's face!

 

Sahwit:

Ngh... grrrah!

 

Judge:

Would the witness

care to elaborate?

 

Judge:

Did you strike the

victim with the clock?

 

Sahwit:

I... I...!

That... that day...

I... I never!

 

Sahwit:

Look... I... the clock...

I heard, no!

I mean, I saw...Saw... nggg!

 

Sahwit:

Shutupshutupshutup!

I hate you!

 

Sahwit:

I-it was him, I tell you!

I saw him!

 

Sahwit:

H-he killed her and he

should burn! Burn!

Give him death!

 

Judge:

Order!

Order in the court I say!

 

Payne:

Your Honor,

a-a moment please!

 

Payne:

There isn't a shred of

evidence supporting the

defense's claims!

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright!

 

Phoenix:

Your Honor?

 

Judge:

You claim the sound the

witness heard came from

the clock...

 

Judge:

Do you have any evidence?

 

Phoenix:

(The whole case is riding

on this! I'd better think

it through carefully!)

 

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Phoenix:

The sound Mr. Sahwit heard

was definitely this clock.

 

Phoenix:

A fact which is clear

if you simply...

 

Examine the clock's batteries

Phoenix:

All you have to do

is examine the batteries!

 

Judge:

Indeed? The batteries are...

in the right way. The clock

seems to be working fine.

 

Judge:

What exactly did

you mean, Mr. Wright?

 

Phoenix:

Yes, the clock was

working fine!

 

Payne:

Yes, and... ?

 

Phoenix:

...

 

Phoenix:

Umm, I'm sorry, I think

I got confused back there

with all those testimonies.

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright!

 

Judge:

I expect more from a lawyer

in this court. Even if it

is your first day.

 

Judge:

I'm afraid I have to

penalize you! Try to think

things through more carefully.

 

Phoenix:

Y-yes, Your Honor.

As I was saying...

 

Leads back to:

"(The whole case is riding

on this! I'd better think

it through carefully!)"

 

 

Ask the neighbours

Phoenix:

All you have to do

is examine the batteries!

 

Phoenix:

All you have to do is talk

to the victim's neighbours!

 

Judge:

Talk to the neighbours... ?

 

Phoenix:

I'm sure one of them heard

the clock tell the time when

the incident occurred!

 

Judge:

I see...

 

Judge:

Does the prosecution have

anything to say, Mr. Payne?

 

Payne:

We have already made all

the necessary inquiries.

 

Payne:

Everyone living near the

victim's apartment was out

at the time of the murder.

 

Payne:

Furthermore, even if a

neighbour had heard the clock,

 

Payne:

that would not prove that

Mr. Sahwit had heard anything.

 

Judge:

Hmmm...

That is true.

 

Judge:

I believe you may be wrong,

Mr. Wright.

 

Judge:

You'll receive a penalty

for that, unfortunately.

 

Phoenix:

I-I'm sorry, Your Honor!

Let me think about it again!

 

Leads back to:

"(The whole case is riding

on this! I'd better think

it through carefully!)"

 

 

Try sounding the clock

Leads to:

"Let's sound the clock

now, here in this court."

 

 

Phoenix:

Let's sound the clock

now, here in this court.

 

Phoenix:

Your Honor, may I

have the clock?

 

Phoenix:

I ask the court to

listen very carefully...

 

Alarm clock:

... *beep*...

Alarm clock:

[i think it's 8:25.]

Judge:

That certainly is a strange

way to announce the time.

 

Phoenix:

Well, he is "The Thinker,"

after all.

 

Judge:

So, we've heard the clock.

What are your conclusions,

Mr. Wright?

 

Phoenix:

Mr. Payne... can you tell me

what time it is now?

 

Payne:

It's 11:25...

 

Payne:

Ack!

 

Phoenix:

As you can see, this clock

is exactly three hours slow!

 

Phoenix:

Precisely the discrepancy

between what Mr. Sahwit heard

and the actual time of death!

 

Phoenix:

So, Mr. Sahwit...

 

Phoenix:

Try to talk your

way out of this one!

 

Sahwit:

...

 

Sahwit:

...Hah! Hah hah!

 

Sahwit:

You forgot one thing!

 

Phoenix:

(Uh oh... what's he

talking about... ?)

 

Sahwit:

While it may seem like

that clock IS running three

hours slow...

 

Sahwit:

It proves nothing!

 

Sahwit:

How do you know it was

running three hours slow

on the day of the murder!?

 

Sahwit:

If you can't prove that,

you don't have a case!

 

Phoenix:

...!

 

Phoenix:

(He's right! How am I

going to prove that!?)

 

Phoenix:

(Dammit! I was so close!)

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright?

 

Judge:

It seems you lack the

critical evidence to

support your claim.

 

Phoenix:

...!

 

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Judge:

This means I cannot let

you indict the witness.

 

Judge:

Unfortunately...

 

Judge:

This ends the cross-examination

of Mr. Frank Sahwit.

 

Sahwit:

I come all the way down here

to testify, and look

what happens!

 

Sahwit:

They treat me like a

criminal! A criminal!

 

Sahwit:

You lawyers are all slime!

 

Phoenix:

(Grr! I almost had him!)

 

Phoenix:

(Sorry, Larry... I failed you.)

 

Phoenix:

(There's nothing I can

do about it now...)

 

Mia:

Not so fast, Mr. Sahwit!

 

Phoenix:

Mia! I mean, Chief!

 

Mia:

Listen up, Wright!

 

Mia:

Don't throw this one away,

not like this! Think!

 

Phoenix:

But, Chief, it's over.

 

Phoenix:

I can't prove the clock was

slow the day of the murder!

 

Phoenix:

Nobody can prove that!

 

Mia:

Um... well, yes.

 

Mia:

But that doesn't mean you

can't still win! Try thinking

out of the box!

 

Mia:

Don't waste time doubting the

facts. Assume the clock was

three hours slow and...

 

Mia:

Think through it!

 

Mia:

Ask yourself, "why was

the clock three hours slow"?

 

Mia:

Figure out the reason,

and you'll have your proof!

 

Mia:

Right, Wright?

 

Mia:

Can you think of a reason as

to why the clock would be

three hours slow?

 

Yes

Phoenix:

...

 

Phoenix:

Wait!

 

Phoenix:

Maybe I can prove it!

 

Mia:

You must have evidence

somewhere that can

prove it, Wright!

 

Mia:

Find it and let them have it!

 

Judge:

Well, Mr. Wright?

 

Judge:

You say the clock was already

running slow on the day of

the murder...

 

Judge:

Have you found evidence

to support this claim?

 

Phoenix:

Of course.

 

Phoenix:

There is a piece of evidence

in the Court Record that can

prove my claim beyond a doubt!

 

Sahwit:

Hah! Tough words! Let's see

you pull this one off!

 

Leads to:

"Let's see this evidence that

proves why the clock was

running slow!"

 

 

No

Phoenix:

H-how am I supposed

to know that!?

 

Mia:

I know you can

figure it out!

 

Mia:

There must be some evidence

in the Court Record...

 

Mia:

Something that can show

why that clock was three

hours slow!

 

Mia:

Find it, and he won't have a

foot to stand on!

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright?

 

Phoenix:

Y-y-yes, Your Honor!

 

Judge:

You say the clock was already

running slow on the day of

the murder...

 

Judge:

Do you have evidence

to prove this?

 

Phoenix:

(This is it... all or nothing!)

 

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Phoenix:

I believe I have the evidence

that can prove my claim!

 

Sahwit:

Hah hah! I'd like to see THAT!

 

Leads to:

"Let's see this evidence that

proves why the clock was

running slow!"

 

 

Judge:

Let's see this evidence that

proves why the clock was

running slow!

 

Present "Passport"

Phoenix:

 

Leads to:

"The victim had just returned

home from abroad the day

before the murder."

 

 

Present anything else

Phoenix:

 

Judge:

Um, excuse me. This proves

your claim... how?

 

Judge:

I can't see what that evidence

has to do with the clock.

 

Phoenix:

(D'oh! That wasn't it!)

 

Phoenix:

One more chance...

Give me just one more chance!

 

Judge:

Alright, Mr. Wright, but

time is not on your side.

 

Judge:

Be quick about it.

Leads back to choice

 

 

Phoenix:

The victim had just returned

home from abroad the day

before the murder.

 

Phoenix:

As we all know, the time

difference between here and

Paris is nine hours!

 

Phoenix:

When it's 4:00 PM here,

it's 1:00 AM the next day

there.

 

Phoenix:

The clock wasn't three hours

slow, it was nine hours fast!

 

Phoenix:

The victim hadn't reset her

clock since returning home!

 

Phoenix:

That's why the time you heard

when you struck her dead in

her apartment was wrong!

 

Phoenix:

Proof enough for you,

Mr. Sahwit? Or should

I say... Mr. Did It!

 

Sahwit:

Ngh! ...!

 

Judge:

O-order! Order, I say!

 

 

 

Judge:

Well...

 

Judge:

This case has certainly

turned out differently

than we all expected.

 

Judge:

Mr. Payne... your client?

 

Payne:

He... er... he was arrested

and has been taken away,

Your Honor.

 

Judge:

Very well.

 

Judge:

Mr. Wright?

 

Phoenix:

Yes, Your Honor.

 

Judge:

I have to say, I'm impressed.

 

Judge:

I don't think I've ever seen

someone complete a defense

so quickly...

 

Judge:

and find the true culprit

at the same time!

 

Phoenix:

Thank you, Your Honor.

 

Judge:

At this point, this is

only a formality, but...

 

Judge:

This court find the

defendant, Mr. Larry Butz...

 

Not Guilty

Judge:

And with that...

The court is adjourned.

 

 

 

Phoenix:

It turns out that Frank

Sahwit was a common burglar!

 

Phoenix:

He posed as a newspaper sales-

man to check and see when

people were out of the house!

 

Phoenix:

That day...

 

Phoenix:

When Larry went to her

apartment, the victim

wasn't home.

 

Phoenix:

After he left, Mr. Sahwit

let himself in to do his

dirty work!

 

Phoenix:

While he was searching her

place, the victim returned!

 

Phoenix:

Flustered, Mr. Sahwit grabbed

the nearest blunt object he

could find...

Butz:

My life is over...

 

Phoenix:

Larry! You're supposed to

be happy! What's wrong now!?

 

Butz:

Aww, Nick...

 

Butz:

Don't worry 'bout me!

I'll be dead and gone soon!

 

Phoenix:

Good! Wait, no! I mean...

Bad! Bad bad bad!

 

Phoenix:

Larry, you're innocent!

The case is closed.

 

Butz:

...

 

Butz:

But... but my Cindy-windy's

gone, man! Gone forever!

 

Phoenix:

(Larry, she was a...

Nah... Never mind.)

 

Mia:

Congratulations, Harry!

 

Butz:

H-Harry... ?

 

Mia:

Yes, you! I can practically

see the headlines now:

"Harry Butz, Innocent!"

 

Butz:

Heh... um... thanks!

I really owe you one.

 

Butz:

I won't forget this, ever!

Let's celebrate! Dinner?

Movie? My treat!

 

Mia:

Oh, no, I couldn't.

 

Phoenix:

(Hey, I was the one who

got you off the hook!)

 

Butz:

Oh, hey!

 

Butz:

H-here, take this!

It's a present!

 

Mia:

A present? For me?

 

Mia:

Wait...

Wasn't this the evidence

that...

 

Butz:

Actually, I made this

clock for her!

 

Butz:

I made one for her

and one for me.

 

Mia:

R-really? You? You made this?

 

Mia:

...

 

Mia:

Well, thank you.

I'll keep it as a memento.

 

Butz:

Yo, Nick...

 

Butz:

Can you believe it?

I was so into that chick...

 

Butz:

And... and she was just

playing me for a fool!

 

Butz:

Don't that make you

wanna just cry? *sob*

 

Phoenix:

Larry...

 

Mia:

...

 

Mia:

Are you so sure?

 

Butz:

Ex-squeeze me?

 

Mia:

I think she thought quite a

lot of you, in her own way.

 

Butz:

Nah, you don't gotta

sympathize with me, 'sokay.

 

Mia:

Oh, I'm not just

sympathizing, really.

 

Mia:

Isn't that right, Wright?

Don't you have something

to show your friend?

 

Mia:

Something that proves how

she felt about him?

 

Phoenix:

H-huh?

Oh, yeah, right!

 

Phoenix:

(What the heck is

she talking about?)

 

Present "Statue"

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Check this out, Larry.

Proof Positive you weren't

just some chump to her.

 

Butz:

Huh... ?

Where'd you get that clock?

 

Phoenix:

This is the clock you

made for her, Larry!

 

Phoenix:

She took it with her

when she traveled.

 

Butz:

Hmm, she probably just

needed a clock, that's all.

 

Phoenix:

You think so? It's a pretty

heavy clock to take traveling.

 

Butz:

...

 

Phoenix:

Well, make of it

what you will.

 

Butz:

...

 

Butz:

Hey, Nick.

 

Butz:

I'm glad I asked you

to be my lawyer.

 

Butz:

Really, I am.

Thanks.

 

Phoenix:

(Hope that made him feel

a little better...)

 

Leads to:

"Wright?"

 

 

Present anything else

Phoenix:

 

Phoenix:

Here you go, Larry.

Proof.

 

Butz:

...

 

Butz:

Eh... heh heh?

It's okay, Nick.

Don't worry about me.

 

Butz:

I'll forget about

her soon enough.

 

Butz:

Look, I'm gonna head

home. Thanks a ton, eh?

 

Phoenix:

(Guess that wasn't the

right thing to show him...)

 

Leads to:

"Wright?"

 

 

 

 

Mia:

Wright?

 

Mia:

I hope you see the importance

of evidence now.

 

Mia:

Also, hopefully you realize,

things change depending on how you look at them.

 

Mia:

People, too.

 

Mia:

We never really know if

our clients are guilty

or innocent.

 

Mia:

All we can do is

believe in them.

 

Mia:

And in order to believe in

them, you have to believe

in yourself.

 

Mia:

Wright...

 

Mia:

Listen. Learn. Grow strong.

 

Mia:

Never let go of what

you believe in. Never.

 

 

 

Mia:

Well, I think our work here

is done! Shall we be off?

 

Phoenix:

Yeah, I guess so!

 

Mia:

Say, how about dinner.

On me?

 

Mia:

We'll drink a toast

to innocent Butz!

 

Phoenix:

Yeah!

 

Mia:

Oh, speaking of Harry...

 

Mia:

You were saying part of why

you became a lawyer was

because of him.

 

Phoenix:

Er, yeah. Part, at least.

 

Mia:

You'll have to tell me

more about it sometime!

Maybe... over drinks?

 

 

 

Phoenix:

And so, my first

trial came to a close.

 

Phoenix:

Larry slapped me on the back

and said,"Gee, Nick, it's good

to have friends!"

 

Phoenix:

But I'm pretty sure he's not

going to pay me. Unless you

count the clock he gave Mia.

 

Phoenix:

...

 

Phoenix:

I didn't know it then...

 

Phoenix:

but that clock was soon

going to be at the center

of another incident.

 

Phoenix:

And my promise to tell the

chief about me and Larry...

 

Phoenix:

would be one promise that

I wouldn't be able to keep.
