[The video begins with an axe being thrown and landing on the right-hand side of the screen, accompanied by a splatter of pink blood and the logo. It then transitions to Sidd Burns' and Fye Burns' office while "Confess the Truth 2009" from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth starts playing. Two silhouettes appear.]
???: Nice shot! You still got it, huh boss?
???: Please. I never lost it, kid.
[The silhouette on the left is revealed to be Sidd Burns.]
This is Sidd Burns. Previously a detective, this old prosecutor has a near-flawless track record, and a way of getting what he wants.
He's an Ace Axe-Thrower, but if you ask him, he's also an Ace Retired Detective, Ace Prosecutor, Ace Pompadour and an Ace in pretty much everything else
Sidd: I'll tell you what I did lose though... this very eye. And it's all thanks to-
Sidd: ...this very axe! And it was my favorite one, too. You remember the story?
???: If this story involves one of your axes, how about that other story about you losing your eye in a fight with a 10-foot bear with only your shoes and half a pair of boxing gloves?
[The silhouette on the right is revealed to be Fye Burns.]
And this is Fye Rebecca Burns. A recent graduate of Hope's Peak Academy, she is none other than the Ultimate Eye. With her unparalleled eye for detail, she can pick up on even the smallest clues.
Behind her fiery personality, she holds a love of criminal investigation, and has come to live with her uncle to help with his work in the field.
Sidd: Sharp, kid! Both happened, the doc says I have to switch eyes on the daily.
Fye: Daily? Sometimes you switch on the minute.
[Sidd throws his axe onto the target in the office.]
Sidd: Doesn't matter, I can still make every shot with pin-point accuracy and keep it thrilling at the same time.
Fye: I'd be a little more excited if you somehow managed to miss the mark even once... It's just a loop at this point.
[The music changes to "Logic ~ The Way to the Truth" from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth.]
Sidd: Fine, if you're so bored by astounding perfection, how about we talk work?
Fye: Ooh, now you got my attention.
Sidd: Got a call about a new case, happened just today. They need a prosecutor to put some girl in the slammer after she tried to kill some famous old guy.
Fye: Really now? Who got attacked? Do they know what she did it for?
Sidd: Some TV personality named Mr. Bean. Apparentely, there's some big tournament happening, and she just haaad to get in on it - at any cost.
Sidd: So she whacked the guy, took his invite, and tried to sneak out by going through a crowd.
Fye: W-wait, Mr. Bean?! THE Mr. Bean? Is he okay??
Sidd: Yeah, he's still kickin; just put into a coma for a hot minute. Why, you know 'em?
Fye: It's MR. BEAN! How do you not know him??
Sidd: You know TV's not really my thing.
Fye: Now that I think about it.. what kind of business did Mr. Bean have at a tournament anyway? Was it some kind of improv show?
Sidd: But most interesting of all? The defense attorney in this case is the guy who ended up filling in for Mr. Bean, and one of the witnessess on the case is his teammate.
Fye: What?? No way...
Sidd: That's not it though, the defense and the culprit are best friends, and arrived at the scene of the crime together.
Fye: !!! This is serious! We can't let these guys get away with this! We'll throw em both in the slammer! That witness too!
Sidd: Trust me, kid- this'll be open and shut. I wasn't even gonna take a job dealing with a freakshow but you seem to be interested.
Fye: Yeah! We're taking this case no matter what! You can't let anything go wrong and let the culprit go, for poor Mr. Bean's sake!
[The music changes to "All Star Apologies" from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc while the video shows the silhouettes of the following characters, scrolling from right to left: Mariya Takeuchi, Curly Brace, Count Cannoli, Wobbuffet, KO, HOBaRT, Monika and Johnny Bravo.]
Sidd: Alright then, but I'm gonna need that eye of yours. Every single other suspect is tied to this tournament and every one of them was there at the time of the attack. I need you to look into 'em to make sure that crooked defense can't surprise us in court.
[The video shows Sidd and Fye posing next to each other. The music changes to "Momomomonokuma!" from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.]
Fye: You got it! Nothing's getting past me!
Sidd: Alright then let's consider it done, we'll hand that Maya Fey a guilty verdict on a silver platter!
[The logo then appears, accompanied by "Chapter Results" from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. After that, the video fades to black and the following note appears faintly in the bottom left corner:]
NOTE: LAW & DISORDER: TURNABOUT DESPAIR may take longer than any other finalist project. We hope you have enjoyed what was shown, but please be patient and don't expect any more news for a long time. Thank you!
Video description[]
Law & Disorder is set to defend the innocence of Maya Fey, but what about the prosecution? Meet Sidd Burns- an ace axe thrower that has as many stories on how he lost an eye as he has ways of getting what he wants from people- and his energetic niece, Fye Rebecca Burns, a graduate of Hope's Peak Acadamy as the Ultimate Eye. With Sidd being a master wordsmith with a dangerous habit of tossing axes, and Fye's fiery personality and impeccable eye for detail, can our men of mystery really best them in court...?
It was originally premiered with the name "MYSTERY REVEAL || SiIvaFes" and its description was "Join us at 3PM PST for a final four KFAD-related reveal! #SiIvaFes".
This is the only special video from the SiIvaSummer All-Star Festival that was not represented in the event's channel banner.
The map from Sidd's board is from Coach's future webcomic Good Morning, Monstrum.[3]
The notepad next to the mug reads "What? M", referencing the Mashup Week track "What", which was an in-joke in the fan KFAD community.
A Once-ler figure is seen next to a laptop, and its color scheme is based on The Once-ler's appearance as a contestant in PRIZM█, a King for a Day fan work.
