The court system, overburdened by the massive number of crimes being committed, introduces a radical new method for settling cases more quickly: the bench trial system. Both prosecution and defense face each other in open court and have three days t...
Judge: This court will suspend proceedings on the current trial for today. Cody Hackin's testimony has revealed new possibilities in this case. In fact, things may have happened very differently than we previously thought. The Steel Samurai seen by Ms. Oldbag may have been the victim, Jack Hammer. The scene of the crime was not Studio One, but Studio Two. And those in the trailer did have time to commit murder. Mr. Wright?
Phoenix: Yes, Your Honor?
Judge: Your homework is to find the answer to the following question: Why would Mr. Hammer steal the Steel Samurai costume? Also, who killed him, and why? Find the answers for me by tomorrow.
Phoenix: (That's a lot of homework!)
Judge: Mr. Edgeworth.
Edgeworth: Mm?
Judge: You will need to reconsider your stance in this case. Above all, you will need to reconsider your suspicion of Mr. Will Powers.
Edgeworth: As you say, Your Honor.
Judge: This trial will be extended until tomorrow. This is the last extension!

Phoenix: Whew! That was a close one!
(Y/N): Way too close for my liking...
Mia: We were saved by a hair, but that's all that counts.

Phoenix: M-me too!
(Y/N): (We can do that?)
Will: Really? You both seemed so... so confident!
Phoenix: Hah! Maybe I should take up a career in acting? I was ready to pronounce you dead about three times back there.
Mia: Me too!

Mia: Hoh hoh. Of course, we're kidding.
Will: Are you sure?
Phoenix: (I wasn't kidding...) Now, Mr. Powers. We have to go make our final investigation. But I promise you, we'll find the true killer by tomorrow's trial!
Will: R-right! Thanks! *sniff*
Phoenix: By the way, (Y/N)...
(Y/N): Yeah? What's up, Nick?
Phoenix: Your theories were surprisingly right. It's almost kind of scary how accurate you were.
Mia: Right. Not only was Studio Two proven to be the real scene of the murder, but the idea that Jack Hammer was seen in the Steel Samurai suit by Ms. Oldbag is now a likely possibility.
(Y/N): Well, theories are just theories. Proving them to be a possibility is a different thing. There WAS some logic behind them, but mostly I just got lucky. Especially with Cody's pictures. If he hadn't snuck in around that time and took some photos...
Mia: It wouldn't have ended well for us, that's for sure.
Phoenix: Being modest again, huh, (Y/N)? That's so like you. Anyway, we should get going. It's time to solve this case!
