[MILES EDGEWORTH, spoken]

The murderer, the real criminal of the DL-6 incident… It was me!

[CROWD]

Ohhhhhhhhh!

Never have we seen before

A man who’s been declared not guilty

Turn around and ask for more

Confessing to a different guilt

[DESIRÉE DELITE]

He's admitted to his crime

[THE JUDGE, spoken]

Order!

[RON DELITE]

I told you he was slime

[JUDGE, spoken]

Order!

[CROWD]

He won't go free this time

[JUDGE, spoken]

Order! Order!

[Simultaneous 1]

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

Your Honor! I wish to confess my guilt in the case of the murder of Gregory Edgeworth, the statute of limitations of which ends today!

[Simultaneous 2]

[CROWD]

The murder of his father

Fifteen years ago

The unsolved case DL-6

Now we'll finally know…

[Simultaneous End]

[CROWD]

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

Was Yanni Yogi wrongly accused?

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

How has justice been abused?

[JUDGE, spoken]

ORDER! ORDER! I confess, this incident is completely unprecedented… I—I’m not certain how to proceed—

[MANFRED VON KARMA, spoken]

It is simple, Your Honor. We hold a trial. Right here, right now

[JUDGE, spoken]

Er… very well. Is the prosecution prepared?

[VON KARMA, spoken]

Always, Your Honor

[JUDGE, spoken]

And the defense?

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

I’m sorry, Wright. I’ve wasted all your effort. You don't need to stay—

[PHOENIX WRIGHT, spoken]

I need a moment to get my case ready, Your Honor

[MAYA FEY, spoken]

Nick, what case? Mr. Edgeworth’s already confessed!

[PHOENIX, spoken]

I know. Edgeworth, I don’t believe you

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

Wh-what?

[PHOENIX, spoken]

A nightmare isn’t evidence—but this is. I’ll prove your innocence. Trust me. I’m not giving up on you just yet

The defense is ready, Your Honor!

[CROWD]

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

Did the son orphan himself?

The case is set to expire today

If they don't solve it now, it'll die upon a shelf!

[JUDGE, spoken]

Very well. Court is now in session for the trial of Mr. Miles Edgeworth

[VON KARMA, spoken]

Fifteen years ago, you mistakenly killed your father, Gregory Edgeworth, in this very courthouse. Testify about this matter to the court

[DESIRÉE]

He's already confessed!

[RON]

What else is there to say?

[DESIRÉE/RON]

He killed Gregory Edgeworth!

[CROWD]

Shh!

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

That day, I had gone to the courthouse to observe one of my father’s trials. I don’t recall very much… except that my father lost, and that the prosecutor… was Mr. von Karma

[CROWD]

Von Karma was there fifteen years ago

As Gregory Edgeworth's courtroom foe

What a coincidence, who could have guessed

Fifteen years later, he's here for the son's arrest?

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

As we went to leave, an earthquake struck, trapping us in the elevator with the bailiff, Yanni Yogi. We were fine at first, but as time passed and no one came to help, my father and Mr. Yogi began to argue. Just then, something heavy fell at my feet… the bailiff’s pistol

[PHOENIX, spoken]

HOLD IT! Did you know at the time that it was a pistol?

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

I don't know if I knew what it was, but I… I think I knew it was dangerous. But the air was so thin, and they were fighting—I panicked. I picked up the gun, and I threw it at the bailiff! I heard a single gunshot, and a terrible scream. That’s all I can remember. I wasn’t even sure of that until today

[CROWD]

A gun in the hands of a panicked child

Can he be blamed if the shot went wild?

A single gunshot, a single scream

With the lack of oxygen, could it have been a dream?

[PHOENIX, spoken]

HOLD IT! Edgeworth. You’re sure you only heard ONE gunshot?

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

Yes. There’s nothing else. My next memory is of waking up in the hospital

[PHOENIX, spoken]

I’ve got you, Edgeworth. I’ve got you

Honorable members of the court. Miles Edgeworth recalls hearing only one gunshot. And yet the case file states that the murder weapon was fired TWICE! Furthermore, this photograph of the crime scene shows TWO bullet holes—one in the heart of Gregory Edgeworth, another in the elevator door. Now, I ask you—where did this second bullet hole come from?

[CROWD]

A bullet hole each in the victim and the door

Two gunshots recorded, no less and no more

Little Edgeworth fainted after hearing just one

Who else was there who could have fired the gun?

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

[PHOENIX, spoken]

The first shot, fired accidentally by the young Miles Edgeworth, struck the elevator door. At this point, Miles fell unconscious. Therefore, the second shot, the shot that killed Gregory Edgeworth, must have been fired by someone else!

[JUDGE, spoken]

But who could this someone else be?

[PHOENIX, spoken]

The real murderer, of course!

[CROWD, spoken]

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

The bailiff said it wasn't him

The son's memory is clearly dim

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

[VON KARMA, spoken]

OBJECTION. I knew I should have stepped in before your wild fantasies got out of hand. Mr. Wright, let me call your attention once more to that little case file you love so much. Right there, on the very first page—what does it say?

[PHOENIX, spoken]

“No other evidence was found at the scene”?

[VON KARMA, spoken]

Precisely. No second bullet was found anywhere near that elevator

[PHOENIX, spoken]

But the bullet hole—!

[VON KARMA, spoken]

—could have been made at any time

[PHOENIX, spoken]

What?!

[CROWD]

Without a second bullet, the case falls apart

Only one was found in Gregory Edgeworth's heart!

If the gun was fired once, not twice as Wright proposed

Then Miles Edgeworth must have done it

And the case is clearly closed

He killed Gregory Edgeworth!

[VON KARMA, spoken]

Your Honor, I’m sorry to have wasted the court’s time with this farce of a cross-examination. We are done here

[JUDGE, spoken]

…I must say, it seems the prosecution is correct. No objections, Mr. Wright? Mr. Edgeworth?

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

None, Your Honor. Everything von Karma has said is true

[MAYA, spoken]

…Nick!

[JUDGE, spoken]

Miles Edgeworth, you confess to killing your father?

[EDGEWORTH, spoken]

Yes

[MAYA, spoken]

C’mon, Nick! It’s time for a turnabout!

[Simultaneous 1]

[PHOENIX]

It feels as though I've been here before

On the day I first entered the courtroom war

I know I should be saying so many things

But my head's gone blank, and I can't begin to think!

[MAYA]

Not yet! Object!

For Mr. Edgeworth's sake!

Come on! Be strong!

Don't let your spirit break!

[MAYA/MIA FEY]

Not yet!

[PHOENIX, spoken]

What?

[MAYA/MIA]

Object!

[PHOENIX, spoken]

Mia?!

[MAYA/MIA]

Don't let it end this way!

[Simultaneous 2]

[CROWD]

We know who killed Gregory Edgeworth!

He killed Gregory Edgeworth!

An accident but a crime nonetheless

[CROWD (EDGEWORTH)]

He (I) killed his (my) own father

[EDGEWORTH]

I killed him, I confess!

[CROWD]

He killed Gregory Edgeworth

An accident, but a crime in the end

[Simultaneous End]

[MAYA/MIA]

The second bullet

[MAYA]

Must have been taken away

[PHOENIX, spoken]

Taken away... by the murderer?!

[CROWD]

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

[in round]

Who fired the gun?

There's only one!

The case is done!

[VON KARMA, spoken]

Your Honor, it's time for the verdict!

[CROWD]

Who killed Gregory Edgeworth?

[CROWD/EDGEWORTH/VON KARMA]

His son!
