I couldn’t show you my gun even if I wanted to.

Retired cops are allowed to carry their guns… but I guess I forgot to mention that I’m not retired in the traditional sense… I “retired” after turning myself in … for the Yatagarasu heists. I had to turn my badge in… as well as my gun.

………….

It started with one addiction and led to another…

I used to smoke cigarettes… I’d say when I was around the same age as you are now…

To kick the addiction… I started looking for alternative objects to put in my mouth so I would not have to smoke… I eventually ended up with lollipops.

Don’t smoke, kid.

There isn’t any secret.

von Karma is exactly what you said she is… a kid. Whether or not she is tough to deal with … is irrelevant. She’s still a kid … so I treated her as such.


They’re just as good as any other lollipop…

…But not as good as this one.


Sorry about that, kid.

I’ve been away handling some important business, and I missed the holidays. A belated Merry Christmas to you.
Is that so…?

What are you going to about it, kid?
It would seem so…

Kay.

Are you keeping your dad’s promises?
My old man for one…

Detective Bruce Badd. I learned everything I know from him. I owe my toughness … to his strict upbringing.
I didn’t care for them at first … but I’ve come to like them over the years…

When Kay was a little kid … I’d always buy them for her … whenever her dad wasn’t around. Since the packs came with two … she’d always give me one.
…

What makes you think … that I wear either?

…I go commando, son.
Faraday … was a fair and just man.

We both shared an intense dislike … for corruptness and criminals…

Working with Faraday was a pleasure. He was hardworking and passionate about bringing justice, especially to those who thought they were above the law. He was taken away from this world much too soon.
…Because I accomplished what I needed to accomplish.

For seven long years … I’ve been on the hunt for the woman who betrayed the Yatagarasu … the woman who killed my partner…

Mr. Edgeworth, Ms. von Karma, that big lug Gumshoe, and Kay finally found her and put her away. I’m no longer needed on the crime scene…
Nope…

Don’t think I’d be here if I was…

My sentence wasn’t too harsh. Despite what I did, I as lucky enough for the judge to be lenient with me. My actions were to expose a greater evil, and it wasn’t as if I killed anybody.
