Turnabout Trump Day 1 - Trial Former [transcript-d]
Poker.'>
Phoenix : Objection!
Apollo: M-Mr. Wright...?
Phoenix : ...You can't end the trial here, Your Honor.
Not yet.
Payne: What nonsense is the defendant spewing not!?
Phoenix : Think. One of the cards had a different colored back.
Don't you wonder what it means?
Payne: Objection!
Wh-What are you doing, Mr. Wright!?
Raising objections right when you're about to get off the hook!? Ridiculous!
Judge: Mr. Payne, you of all people should know...
Mr. Wright has a talent...
for the ridiculous!
Perhaps we should get to the bottom of things.
Let's clear up the facts about the game that fateful night.
Phoenix : As was said before...
We alternated between two decks of cards that night.
Payne: That was said before!
Phoenix : The two decks at the club have different colored backs: Blue... and red.
One color per deck.
Apollo: Why use different colored backs?
Phoenix : If we used the same color, the two decks might get mixed.
Apollo: (Um, you used different colors and they STILL got mixed up.)
Phoenix : We used the red deck for the last game.
Judge: Hmm... I see. But... that's odd.
For some reason... I have this impression that you were using the blue cards!
Apollo: (Yeah, me too...)
(I'm sure sure someone said something about blue cards...)
Payne: Whatever. In the end one card of the wrong color got into the mix...
Which means there was cheating.
Phoenix : Yes, a card slipped into the deck would seem to indicate cheating...
Yet... this card raises two serious questions.
...Apollo?
Apollo: Y-Yes?
Phoenix : Let's consider the first question, shall we?
Think. In the last game... when was the card swapped?
Apollo: ("When"...?)
Phoenix : There are three broad possibilities here.
It could have been swapped before the murder, during the murder...
or after the murder.
Payne: Well, yeah! Thanks for the news bulletin, Mr. Wright!
Of course it was swa--
Phoenix : Oh?
It might be as simple as you think, Mr. Payne. Or it might not be.
Payne: Nnnk!
Phoenix : I'd like to hear what Apollo thinks first...
When do you think the cards were swapped?
Apollo: (When was the card swapped into the deck?)
>>Before the murder
Apollo: Well, it must have happened before the murder.
Judge: You mean, during the game?
Phoenix : I wonder…
Apollo: Huh? Why?
Phoenix : Think. When you’re playing poker…
…which side of the cards face your opponent?
Apollo: Ack! The back…
Judge: Not something the “Poker Head of Courtroom No. 3” would be likely to miss!
Apollo: Sorry, let me think about this some more…
>>During the murder
Apollo: Well… weren’t they swapped during the murder?
Judge: “During” the murder?
Tell me, exactly when is that?
Apollo: Huh? Well, the very moment of the act, I guess…
Phoenix : Would that be the moment the cards were shown?
Kristoph: Or perhaps the moment when the cheater was revealed?
Judge: Or maybe the very moment the bottle came down on Mr. Smith’s head?
Apollo: …
Uh… could I have a moment?
Judge: That “moment” could cost you this case!
Apollo: Sorry… Let me rethink this.
>>After the murder
Apollo: Perhaps it happened… after the murder?
Payne: Objection!
Wh-What's that? Ridiculous!
What's the point of cheating after the hands have been shown? That's silly!
Apollo: Objection!
Yes! But tell me...
How do you swap cards during the game!? I'll take "silly" over "impossible".
Payne: Take it from me, son. There's a lot of silly in this world, but very little impossible.
Apollo: Oh? Even when the backs of the cards are a different color!?
If you pulled that during the game, you'd be caught in no time!
Judge: Ah...
Phoenix: Quite true.
That would mean that the blue card in question...
...was swapped after the hands were shown, after the murder!
Payne: Objection!
OK, this is going past silly and straight on to crazy.
I ask again: what's the point of cheating after the game's over!?
Who would do that!?
Phoenix: Who indeed. That's one of the mysteries before us.
Judge: Th-There's another?
Phoenix: Yes. A simple, yet decisive question must be asked:
Who swapped the red card for a blue card?
Apollo: Wh-Who?
Kristoph: The game, and murder, is done. The victim is dead.
Only two remain in the room. Alive, that is.
The defendant, Phoenix Wright, and our witness, Olga Orly.
Apollo: (OK, so who was it that swapped the red card for a blue?)
>>Phoenix Wright
Apollo: The one who swapped the cards was... Mr. Wright! It was you, wasn't it?
Phoenix: And why would I do such a thing?
Apollo: Ack! Uh, well, because, uh...
...maybe you were trying to hide the fact that you'd cheated?
Judge: That would make sense... but the swapped card was in the victim's hand!
Apollo: Oh.
Phoenix: Sorry...
I'm a nice guy, but I'm not that nice.
Apollo: (Come to think of it, he would lack a motive for helping his opponent to win...)
>>Olga Orly
Apollo: Why, it must have been Olga Orly who swapped the cards!
She was trying to cover up evidence of the cheating.
Judge: That... does make some sense.
Phoenix: Hold it!
Sorry...
But there's a problem with that explanation.
Apollo: Huh?
Phoenix: The swapped card was from the wrong deck.
Judge: Yes, a blue card was stuck into a red hand.
Phoenix: Mixing a card from the wrong deck... when the backs are different colors?
Remember that you're talking about Olga Orly... She was the dealer.
Do you really think she would make such a novice mistake?
Apollo: (Actually, I have trouble imagining even the judge making that mistake.)
Phoenix: Give it a little more thought, Apollo.
Apollo: R-Right!
>>Someone else
Apollo: The one who swapped the cards wasn't Mr. Wright, of course.
And, well, it doesn't seem like it could have been Olga Orly, either...
Judge; Wh-What are you suggesting!?
Kristoph: That's hardly a logical conclusion, I'll admit.
As for the defense, I think it only makes sense for you to name Ms. Orly at this point.
Apollo: Yes, yes, I know!
But... But she was the one who dealt the cards, right?
I... I just can't believe she would make the mistake of swapping the wrong color card!
Judge: And if the card was swapped during the game, it'd be obvious...
Phoenix: Heh. Heh heh heh heh.
Judge: Something you'd like to share with the court, Mr. Wright?
Phoenix: Oh, my apologies, Your Honor. I was just thinking how much fun all this is.
Payne: Objection!
Fun!? How about confusing!? I've no idea what the defense is claiming, Your Honor.
If the one who swapped the card wasn't the defendant, and it wasn't Ms. Orly...
Then who was it!?
Apollo: Er, yeah, well, that is the question, isn't it?
Phoenix: Precisely.
Apollo: Huh?
Phoenix: I believe we're about to see this cake take...
a new direction.
Judge: A new direction?
Phoenix: We'll find that indeed, after the murder...
...someone swapped one of the cards in the victim's hand.
And that someone made two critical mistakes.
Kristoph: I'm sure you're going to tell us that the first was swapping the wrong color card.
Phoenix: Because the one who did the swap didn't know two colors of cards were being used.
The other mistake... was the number on the card.
Apollo: Right... The person replaced the fifth ace with a king.
Phoenix: I'm sure whoever swapped it wasn't expecting there to be a fifth ace, after all.
All they know was that the game had been won with a full house.
So they picked up a king from the table, and swapped it in.
Payne: Objection!
B-But! There's one problem...
According to our case record this person doesn't exist!!!
Phoenix: True, not until now. But you have to admit the possibility of a fourth person.
Though it's more than a possibility.
There was someone else there that night at the scene of the crime.
Payne: W-Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?
Kristoph: I believe the judge spoke truthfully earlier.
You do make trials... ridiculous, Mr. Wright.
Judge: This trial has proceeded on one central assumption:
namely, that, at the time of the incident, there were only three people in that room.
Phoenix: I believe this new evidence, shall we say... overturns that assumption?
Judge: The problem is that you chose to conceal this information from the court!
Phoenix: ...I suppose that is a problem, yes.
Judge: Court is adjourned for a brief recess!
Mr. Gavin, I'll see you in my chambers during this recess.
Kristoph: ...Certainly, Your Honor.
Judge: Very well! The trial will resume in twenty minutes!

April 20, 11:52 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3
Kristoph: That was quite... unexpected, Mr. Wright.
To suddenly claim there was another person at the scene of the crime like that...
I must ask... is it the truth?
Phoenix: Well now... I'd think you would know the answer to that?
Kristoph: Ah, being mysterious, are we? Sadly, I've no time for mysteries.
I'd only ask that you leave the defending to your defense, in the future.
Otherwise... I cannot guarantee the outcome.
Phoenix: I see you haven't mellowed out one bit, Kristoph.
Kristoph: Justice.
Apollo: Y-Yes, sir!
Kristoph: The judge has summoned me to his chambers, so carry on without me.
Phoenix: You did well, Apollo.
Apollo: Um... Can I ask you something?
Phoenix: Sure.
Apollo: That locket you wear...
Is that really yours, Mr. Wright?
Phoenix: Ah, you're wondering about the victim's disappearing locket?
Here, you can take a look at it. That's a picture of my daughter in there.
Apollo: I'm... just surprised to hear you had a daughter.
Phoenix: Most people are. Perhaps you'll meet her one of these days.
Apollo: One more question.
The one who cheated that night... Was it you?
Phoenix: ...
What do you think?
Apollo: Huh?
Phoenix: You know what happened seven years ago... What I did.
It's not unreasonable for you to think I might cheat.
Apollo: I-I never! Honest! But...
(It IS odd that he managed to go undefeated for seven whole years...)
Phoenix: Want to know something?
There's only one game where you can be dealt bad cards all night and still win.
Poker.
Apollo: Eh...?
Phoenix: You see, poker is all about reading your opponent.
In that way, it's a lot like a court case.
Apollo: Poker... is like trial law!?
Phoenix: Figure out what your opponent is thinking, and you win.
Apollo: Well, yeah, but that's harder than it sounds.
Phoenix: I think not.
Apollo: ...!
Phoenix: Try as they might to conceal it, everyone reveals their true thoughts in the end.
Their body language can become a valuable source of information.
Apollo: You're kidding!
Phoenix: That witness, for instance, Ms. Orly.
She would touch the back of her neck during certain parts of her testimony.
Did you notice?
Apollo: Uh... No. (C'mon, who'd notice that!?)
Phoenix: Words, habits, twitches... It's all information for the reading.
That's the secret to winning, Apollo.
Someone taught me, and now, I pass the secret on to you.
Apollo: B-But, I"m not worthy! I mean, there's no way I'll pick up on these "signals".
Phoenix: No. You can do it.
Apollo: Huh?
Phoenix: You just don't know it yet.
Apollo: (What's he talking about...?)
Phoenix: But you will. Soon.
Ah, almost forgot. One more thing. About this case...
You should know, I haven't told the truth to anyone yet.
Apollo: Whaaaaaaaa--!?
(I knew it!)
Phoenix: I have my reasons, of course. All shall be revealed.
And Apollo... I need you to be there, defending me.
I need your power.
Apollo: My, um, power? (I had no idea my Chords of Steel were that special...)
Phoenix: ...It's time.
The real trial begins now. Do your best.
Phoenix : Objection!
Apollo: M-Mr. Wright...?
Phoenix : ...You can't end the trial here, Your Honor.
Not yet.
Payne: What nonsense is the defendant spewing not!?
Phoenix : Think. One of the cards had a different colored back.
Don't you wonder what it means?
Payne: Objection!
