De Killer claims that Adrian is his client, but Phoenix deduces that he could not have met Adrien in person as he didn't know she was a woman. Just as De Killer adjusts his testimony and Matt is about to be declared innocent, Franziska arrives with the video disk Gumshoe had picked up, containing footage of De Killer killing Juan. Turning his thinking around, Phoenix shows the video to De Killer, revealing that Matt had been planning to use it to blackmail him. Realising he had been betrayed, De Killer cancels his contract with Matt, choosing him as his next target, and releases Maya, forcing Matt to confess his guilt out of fear for his own safety. After the trial, as Franziska is baffled over Phoenix being happy with a guilty verdict, Edgeworth states that his battles with Phoenix have taught him that trust between attorneys and prosecutors is necessary in order to find the truth. As Maya is reunited with Phoenix, Edgeworth sees Franziska off at the airport.
