Conclusion Appendix 1: Version history Appendix 2: Frequently Asked Questions Appendix 3: Credits ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 1. CONTACT INFORMATION ====================================================================== Hi, I'm Lestor Wong. I post on GameFAQ.com/ GameSpot.com by the username "neeker". Feedback for this document can be directed to lestor underscore wong at yahoo dot com. You may check out my other works here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/52881.html ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 2. INTRODUCTION ====================================================================== Hi, I'm back again with my third FAQ/ Walkthrough for the Gyakuten Saiban series. My previous works for the previous games in the series have won me consecutive awards, so I feel compelled to "complete the trilogy". Gyakuten Saiban 3 (Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations) is the final instalment of a series of courtroom drama featuring Phoenix Wright as the key character. I'd strongly suggest you play the previous games to get a hang of how things will proceed. Logic doesn't necessarily make any sense in the game, so you should throw that out of the window. Nevertheless, it's still a compelling game that I'd rate as the best adventure game series I've ever played. Meanwhile, since the gameplay here is similar to its previous two instalments, I'll not repeat the "controls" and "getting started" info that I included in my previous walkthroughs. Feel free to artifically inflate their hits if you really need to find out how to play the game. I'll still include a "characters" section to describe some of the regular casts though. Also, when reading my previous two guides, I find them to be a little long-winded at times. So, I'll try to be less descriptive this time round, without sacrificing on pinpointing the solutions to you in an organized manner. Last but not least, I must say that the music in this game is so much better than the previous game. I love it. ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 3. CHARACTERS ====================================================================== These are the key personnel who appear in this game. Some are familiar faces, some are not. One of them even has relations to an old nemesis. You've been warned. 1. PHOENIX WRIGHT ----------------- Phoenix is the hero of this game (and the previous ones). The once rookie defense attorney has risen from the ashes to become one of the best in the business. During the events in the final case of the last game, he has also learnt the true virtues of being a lawyer. Good stuff, this guy. 2. MILES EDGEWORTH ------------------ Edgeworth is Phoenix's childhood friend... and arch-rival. Traumatised by a childhood incident, Edgeworth betrayed his dream of becoming a defense attorney, and became a prosecutor instead. He's known to be willing to "do everything just to get a guilty sentence for the defendant". Ever since his self-imposed exile, he has returned a stronger person. Tends to help Phoenix in court nowadays, even though they may be on opposing sides. In this game, you even get to play as him - all fanboys (and girls) rejoice. 3. MIA FEY ---------- Mia was Phoenix's mentor, and a real looker too. Unfortunately, she was brutally murdered in the first game. Her strong spiritual strengths, however, tend to manifest through her sister, Maya, and at times, her cousin, Pearl. Her "presence" has helped turn the tide for Phoenix on many occasions. In this game, you'll actually get to play as her. 4. MAYA FEY ----------- Forever Phoenix's sidekick, a cosplayer's wet dream. Maya's is Mia's younger sister, and her training as a spiritual medium seems to be bearing much fruits as time passes. Has a habit of getting herself involved in murder cases as well, especially as the accused. 5. PEARL FEY ------------ The Fey family has a knack of producing mediums, and Pearl is one of its "products". Pearl is Maya's cousin, and with her strengths in the mystical, she will eventually grant Phoenix the power to peep into the dark secrets of the various witnesses. In a case of power struggle to dispose Maya as the official heir of the Fey family, Pearl's mother, Morgan, was arrested for her hand in a brutal murder. 6. THE JUDGE ------------ No one knows his name, but this funny old man continues to rule the courts with an alarming degree of clueless-ness - the usually righteous Judge is sometimes swayed by pretty female witnesses and nasty prosecutors. His favorite past time is pounding his gravel. 7. DICK GUMSHOE --------------- Detective Gumshoe is a long-serving police officer who, despite his lack of detective skills, makes up with diligence and loyalty. He has proven to be a valuable ally to Phoenix in the past. He has an unexplainable fondness of Edgeworth though. 8. WINSTON PAYNE ---------------- Popularly known as the "Rookie Crusher", Payne returns to the universe to take on Mia in this game. The case also details the origins of how he lost his hair. 9. MARVIN GROSSBERG -------------------- Grossberg is Mia's mentor. He's a vastly experienced defense attorney. 10. DAHLIA HAWTHORNE -------------------- Dahlia was Phoenix's girlfriend from five years ago. She's also one of the most cunning criminals you'll ever faced in the series. In fact, she's quite possibly the female version of the devil. 11. LARRY BUTZ -------------- Another of Phoenix's childhood friends. Larry is a rather shady figure who happens to have the hots for all beautiful women. There's a saying among his circle of friends that if something smells, it must be the Butz. Yeah, that's Larry for you. 12. GODOT --------- Godot is a new enemy in court... or is he? The prosecutor who wears a visor certainly has a mysterious background. He's also hopelessly addicted to coffee. I recommend Nescafe. 13. FRANZISKA VON KARMA ----------------------- Franziska is a talented prosecutor, who handles cases from the tender age of 13. She's not exactly a fan of Phoenix, since he destroyed her father's career by solving a 15-year-old murder that he committed in the first game. Despite her obvious talents, she has found it hard to get the better of Phoenix. ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 4. EPISODE 1: TURNABOUT MEMORIES [ PW3401 ] ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND [ PW3402 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a case from five years ago. You'll get to control Mia Fey, the rookie attorney here. Watch the intro as two men were arguing about a girl. Soon, one is found dead. It's only logical that this other dude is rounded up as a suspect... and he's none other than a very young Phoenix Wright. And so begins your adventure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1-1: TRIAL [ PW3403 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 4/11 Time: 9:40am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 3 Click through the conversations with Marvin Grossberg to find out more about the background of the case, as well as your previous outing in court. You've lost the last one, but you're determined to win this time round. During this initial discussion, you'll also come face-to- face with Phoenix. Ok, not exactly face-to-face, since he's wearing a mask, apparently nursing a bout of flu. Amidst his vehement coughing, you'll find out that the victim is Doug Swallow, who's a fourth-year student at Ivy University. At this point in time, you may want to check out the court record for more information about the case. Pay particular attention to Doug's Autopsy Report, which says: Date and time of death: 4/9, 3pm Cause of death: Fatal electric shock Also take note of this person called Dahlia Hawthorne in the profiles. She's Phoenix's girlfriend, but she has been dating the victim up until eight months ago. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 4/11 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 2 Go through the conversations with the good old judge, until prosecutor Winston Payne (pre-balding version) is introduced. Payne will provide a short summary of the events, followed by a crime scene photo. This shows Doug lying face down with a broken umbrella next to him. Payne further adds that the body was discovered by some students in the university shortly after the murder. Phoenix was also seen trying to run away from the scene. Crime Photo 1 acquired. Continue with the discussions, and the gentlemenly Payne will ask you to explain the cause of death. Well, if you've read the autopsy report earlier, this should be no problem. Select "Electrocution" to proceed. Payne continues with the motive of the crime. Apparently, there was some bad blood between Doug and Phoenix. He'll soon ask you to explain the source of this bad blood to the court. Present Dahlia's profile to continue. Carry on with the conversations here until Payne summons Phoenix to the stands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX'S TESTIMONY: THE VICTIM AND I [ PW3404 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phoenix's testimony are as follow. Take note of the numbers beside each sentence. I'll refer to these numbers to explain the solutions during the cross-examination parts of the game. 1: "Um, I... I admit I was there..." 2: "But I'm not a killer! All I did was find his body!" 3: "I hardly knew the guy to begin with..." 4: "I never even talked to that stuck-up British wannabe!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE VICTIM AND I [ PW3404 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There's an obvious lie in Phoenix's testimony, and I hope you noticed it. At 3, press and Phoenix will tell you what he does know about the victim. At 4, press further - if he doesn't know Doug that well, he wouldn't have know that he's a "British wannabe". The judge will now request Phoenix to add the following to his testimony: 5: "He was always walking around with a huge Union Jack on the back of his shirt." If you don't present anything here, Grossberg will ask whether you need further help. Select "I'll handle this on my own" to proceed. Now, return to 5, and present Crime Photo 1. On the photo, there was nothing on the back of Doug's shirt. Shocked, Phoenix immediately explains that Doug was wearing a leather jacket, and the Union Jack logo is actually on the back of his t-shirt instead. Well, if he did accidentally come across the body, he wouldn't have gone as far as noticing what Doug was wearing under the jacket, would he? As the court goes into its usual commotion, Payne continues his attack by bringing your attention to the medicine that Phoenix has been taking for his cold - an over-the-counter brand called "Coldkiller X". Apparently, Phoenix is a big fan of the brand. When asked about the location of the medicine, Phoenix replies that he has lost it somewhere. Now, guess what was found at the crime scene? Payne reveals another photo, one which shows Doug holding a bottle of "Coldkiller X" with his left hand. Not surprisingly, this bottle of anti-histamine has Phoenix's fingerprints all over it. Take note of the watch that Doug was wearing as well, as both Crime Photo 2 and "Coldkiller X" are acquired. Payne further explains that Doug's watch ceased to function when a large wave of electricity passed through it. He'll then ask Phoenix for an explanation to this occurence. Ignore Grossberg's buttocks and quickly proceed to the next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX'S TESTIMONY: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED [ PW3405 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The truth is... I went because he called me." 2: "He was in the Pharmacology Dept., so we agreed to meet at 2:45 behind that building." 3: "We talked for a bit, and then at around 3:00, we split up." 4: "Then later when I went back, I found him lying there." 5: "I'd been taking Coldkiller X for the last 2 or 3 days..." 6: "But I lost my bottle of it around lunchtime on the day of the accident." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED [ PW3405 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At 2, press and ask whether it was Doug who proposed the meeting time. The answer was positive. The judge will then ask about Doug's role in the pharmacology (damn, this word is hard to spell) department. It seems that he was studying how to produce and improve pharmaceuticals, and was in possession of strange machines that run on high-voltage electricity. Soon, you'll a chance to press further. Select "about Pharmacology Dept." to proceed. This reveals that to run those higher than standard voltage for the machines, high-voltage cables are planted all above and around the building, supported by electrical poles. Next, press at 6. Phoenix replies that he had lunch with Dahlia. The contents of the lunch aren't exactly important, so you can ignore them. The judge will soon intervene though. He doesn't believe in Phoenix, and you'll only have one chance to get away from this. Select "Establish murder method" to proceed. Now, present Crime Photo 1, which captures the murder method rather clearly. Notice the severed electric cable that has a spark that's just slightly above the body? Point to it, and present it to the court. I don't think this requires any explanation... ... until Payne suggests that the only person with the opportunity to use the severed cable for murder would be Phoenix. "Atchoo!" Payne then presents his next evidence - Phoenix's fingerprints were found not only on the bottle of "Coldkiller X", but on Doug's leather jacket. In fact, his entire palm print was found on the jacket! What the hell! Everything looks doom and gloom now. In fact, the judge is ready to pronounce the verdict right away. After some dramatic conversations, Phoenix finally agrees to tell the truth. Flashback to the intro, plus an additional scene of Phoenix pushing Doug. Phoenix then pleads for another chance to testify. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX'S TESTIMONY: WHEN I PUSHED THE VICTIM [ PW3406 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "That guy... He was talking bad about Dollie..." 2: "I lost my temper and gave him a shove!" 3: "At that moment, I heard some kind of loud noise..." 4: "A little while after I left, I started to get worried." 5: "So I went back. But he-he was just just lying there, d-dead!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PHOENIX'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHEN I PUSHED THE VICTIM [ PW3406 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is your final chance. At 3, press to find out more about the loud noise. Phoenix isn't quite sure about what it was, so choose to "Ask for more details" to proceed. Phoenix then remembers then Doug dropped his umbrella when he was pushed. He fell on top of the umbrella, and it broke. This explains the presence of the loud noise. You'll now need to establish the relevance of this information. Choose "Of course it's important!" to proceed. This will slot the following statement into Phoenix's testimony, between 3 and 4. To make things easy, I'll just label it as 6: 6: "After I shoved him, he... He fell down on top of his cheap umbrella." At this point, you should present Crime Photo 1 again - the body was nowhere near the umbrella. In fact, it was closer to a electrical pole than the umbrella. What does this imply? Well, could it be that, after Phoenix has left the scene, someone moved Doug from where he originally fell? If that was the case, Doug must still have been alive after he was pushed. Meanwhile, Umbrella acquired. Go through the next conversations now until Phoenix's Testimony is acquired as well. Payne then unleashes his next weapon - a witness none other than Phoenix's girlfriend, Dahlia Hawthorne. Apparently, Dahlia was at the crime scene when the murder took place. With this, I can safely pronounce her the murderer... but you still have to prove it, yes? The judge calls for a recess now, so you can finally take a break. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 4/11 Time: 11:52am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 3 Phoenix appears relaxed. Continue talking to him about Dahlia, and he'll tell you that he met her in this courthouse some eight months ago. He'll eventually show you a heart-shaped pendant with a bottle in the middle. He explains that this was a present from Dahlia. Dahlia's Present added to Court Record. As you go through the next conversations, Phoenix reveals something odd about Dahlia. After giving the pendant to him, she has, on a few occasions, asked that he returns it. Continue talking, and you'll present a newspaper clipping from 8/28 that details a murder in this very courthouse. The murder was comitted on 8/27, which, incidentally, was when Phoenix met Dahlia for the first time. The reason as to why you decided to take on this case is now clear - you believe that there's some relationship between the courthouse murder and the case. Newspaper Clipping now added to the records. I'd suggest you check out this clip now to find out more about the courthouse murder. It appears that a lawyer was murdered in the cafeteria, and a 19-year-old female college student was hauled up for questioning. Grossberg fears that the evidences that you've now are insufficient. He excuses himself to the reading room downstairs for more clues. This is when court resumes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1-2: TRIAL [ PW3407 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 4/11 Time: 12:13pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 2 If you've watched the Japanese TV drama "Fugoh Keiji" (Millionaire Detective, loosely translated), you may find Dahlia's taling style a little similar to Kyoko Fukada's character in the show. She seems intend to help her little "Feenie" (aargh!) though, so go through the initial conversations until she gives her first testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3408 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I had been planning to go back to Feenie's place after class was over." 2: "Feenie and Dougie... They were talking behind the building." 3: "Then suddenly... Dougie got all wobbly and just collapsed." 4: "That's when Feenie noticed that I was there." 5: "I went to go and find some other students and they called the authorities." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3408 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As you prepare for the cross-examination, Dahlia comments that you haven't changed a bit. Looks like you're already met her before... perhaps during the courthouse murder case? Anyway, let's proceed. At 3, press to get a confirmation on whether Doug simply collapse on his own. Dahlia insists that that's true. You should now select "Show contradiction" to counter her claims - Phoenix's palm print was found on Doug's jacket, which is proof that Phoenix did indeed push Doug during their conversation. This will lead to a revision to Dahlia's testimony: 6: "Um, actually, I didn't see the moment he pushed Dougie." 7: "It didn't look like they were fighting, and I didn't hear any noise either." Well, at 7, present Phoenix's Testimony - it has been established that when he pushed Doug, he heard a loud noise. If Dahlia was really that close to the two of them, she'd have heard that noise as well. Dahlia explains that she didn't hear anything as she was listening to music with her headphones at the time. You'll soon remember something in Dahlia's testimony that could change the course of this whole case. Select "There was lightning" to proceed - could it be that Doug actually died from behing hit by lightning? Meaning, could his death been entirely accidental? Well, not exactly, according to Payne. He has done some research earlier, and it showed that there wasn't any lightning at the crime scene at the time of the event. The Crime Photo 1 also shows that an electrical cable is strongly linked to the case. In fact, he then presents an affidavit from the pharmacology students who were doing experiments in their labs that day. The affidavit says that all equipment in the labs lost power all of a sudden at around 2:55pm that day. The blackout was obviously due to the electrical cable being severed. According to the students, the cables was already very old, and even a small bump would've caused them to break. As a result, it highly possible that Doug died as a result of contact with the severed cable. Students' Testimony acquired. Continue on, and the judge will ask for your opinion about the cause of the severed cable. Present Phoenix's profile now. If you look back at his testimony, he mentioned that he heard a loud noise after he pushed Doug. In other words, it's highly likely that the push was the main cause of the power outage. You continue after Payne tries to interrupt. Showing Crime Photo 1, you explain that the broken umbrella was found by the electrical pole that's further away from the hanging cable. This proves that Doug actually bumped into that pole after being pushed, since he did land on the umbrella then. This impact caused the cable to break. Question is, how did his body end up at the near pole? The conclusion is that someone other than Phoenix must have moved the body, and electrocuted Doug. This eventually leads to Dahlia's next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED, PART 2 [ PW3409 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The truth is... Feenie pushed him twice." 2: "The first time was into the electrical pole. That's when the cable broke." 3: "Then Dougie tried his best to run away from him..." 4: "But Feenie caught up and crashed into him from behind." 5: "The cable snapping, and Dougie being electrocuted - it all occured in less than a minute." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I WITNESSED, PART 2 [ PW3409 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This should be easy... if you've been checking your evidences. At 5, present Crime Photo 2 - remember the watch that stopped at the time when Doug was electrocuted? Well, it shows 3:05pm. The students' testimony, however, stated that the power outage occured at around 2:55pm. A 10-minute interval between the onset of the blackout and the time of electrocution? You suggest that someone must have arrived at the crime scene, and killed Doug during this interval. You'll soon have to point the identity of this real murderer. Present Dahlia's profile when given the chance - it could only have been her, especially when she has so aptly claimed that she was at the scene. Continue with the conversations until Grossberg returns from his sleuthing. He brings an important Police Report, which is quickly added to your Court Record. Read the report to find out more about the courthouse murder. The victim of the case was Diego Armando, who happened to be your boy- friend! The murder happened at 4:00pm on 8/27, in the courthouse cafeteria. While interviewing the suspect, Dahlia Hawthorne, Diego ingested poison. Traces of said poision were found on his coffee cup. However, no poison was found near or on the suspect. It's unclear how the poison entered Diego's cup. Back to the present day, Dahlia denies your allegations. After some thoughts, you request for further testimony from her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: HOW I MET MY FEENIE [ PW3410 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I first met my darling Feenie eight months ago." 2: "It's like we were destined to meet in this very courthouse's basement reading room." 3: "The moment our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat!" 4: "We've been going out ever since that fateful day." 5: "We're so lovey-wuvey we literally make people sick! It's just jealousy, I think..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: HOW I MET MY FEENIE [ PW3410 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Without further ado, press at 2 to find out why a literature student like Dahlia was doing in a courthouse reading room. Keep pressing when given the prompt. This will lead to a revised testimony: 6: "I had come to this courthouse to do some research for a paper I was writing." Woohoo! Time to present the police report - Dahlia wasn't there to research, she was there to meet up with Diego. In other words, Dahlia was the prime suspect in a criminal case just eight months ago. You've successfully tied both crimes together. Expect more lies from Dahlia now as she testifies about the courthouse murder case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: THE POISONING [ PW3411 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I met the lawyer who was poisoned to discuss something in the cafeteria that day." 2: "I left my seat for just a moment, and that's when it happened!" 3: "From what I heard, it was a liquid poison that is lethal at just 2 teaspoons." 4: "Not only that, I heard it was a very special kind of poison." 5: "So you see, I'm innocent! I wouldn't even know where to get a poison like that!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: THE POISONING [ PW3411 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At 5, present Doug's profile - remember Dahlia was seeing Doug then? She could've easily gain access to poison from his lab to kill Diego. Now, for her to carry as much as 2 teaspoons of the poison, she'd need some sort of container. However, no container was found on her that day. You insist that she must have disposed the container, somehow. The judge will now ask you for some evidence to show that Dahlia has indeed disposed the container. This should be easy. Simply present her present (heh) - there's a bottle in the middle of the pendant. This should be the "container" used for carrying the poison. It was the reason why she handed it over to Phoenix, while disguising it as a "symbol of love". I'll leave it to you to read the following chunks of text, which explain Dahlia's evil plans. It's very much predictable, and shouldn't come as a surprise if you've been paying attention to the details of the case so far. You'll soon need to convince Phoenix that Dahlia wasn't in love with him at all. Select "because of that necklace" to proceed. The truth hurts, and Phoenix ends up running out of the courtroom while knocking you down in the process. As the bailiff goes after him, you find that the necklace has gone missing. It seems that Phoenix has stolen it from you as he slammed into you earlier. The bailiff soon reinstalls Phoenix back to the defendant's seat. When asked about the necklace, he amazingly replies that he has eaten it by crunching the pendant into pieces with his teeth, duh! You now demand the trial to be discontinued, out of concern for him. If he did eat the pendant as he so claimed, he could've been poisoned by any remaining traces of the poison housed earlier in the bottle. This is when Payne argues that since Phoenix looks ok, there must be no poison in the bottle. It looks like your case will be thrown out for a lack of evidence, again. Phoenix then unveils another revelation - on that day that he met Doug, the latter revealed that someone has stolen a poison sample from his lab. Furthermore, a drug sample was also stolen about eight months ago. A certain "she" was at the lab on both occasions, so Doug could only suspect that she was the culprit of both thefts. What follows from Phoenix is of extreme importance. After he pushed Doug, he got worried and returned to the scene. It was then that she found Dahlia crouching next to his body. She has specifically told him not to tell anyone about this though. Continue with the conversations, and you'll raise a doubt about Doug's allegations. If Dahlia had stolen poison the day before Doug's death, who was she planning to kill? The judge then asks for the identity of her intended victim. Present Phoenix's profile to proceed - she was planning to kill our beloved hero so as to retrieve the necklace! More predictable explanations, so just read through them as Dahlia's evil nature continues to be revealed. Eventually, you'll be asked to provide a decisive evidence to convict Dahlia. Now, you only get one chance to get this right, or it's game over. It's time to present the killer evidence... ... "Coldkiller X"! The bottle of medicine was lost when Phoenix was lunching with Dahlia. If she was planning to murder him, which better place to hide the poison than his medicine bottle? You further explain that after pushing Doug, Phoenix left the scene. Dahlia, who was nearby, appeared with the bottle of poisoned medicine. Her plan was to kill Phoenix, but upon hearing Doug's accusation of her, she decided to silent the latter instead. She was faced with an immediate problem though. Phoenix returned to the scene soon, and some students began to show up due to the blackout. Dahlia was obviously concerned, since she was still holding the bottle of poison. So, in her haste, she planted it into Doug's hand. This is more or less the end of Dahlia. Continue on, as you witness Dahlia turning into the Dark Phoenix. She finally admits defeat, but warns that she'll meet you again. This is the seed for another case in this game, but we'll come to that later. During the aftermath of Dahlia's conviction, Payne loses his beloved hair. Ah, that explains. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 4/11 Time: 3:16pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 3 Simply click through the conversations here. There're some references to a friend that Phoenix wanted to help, whom I think refers to Miles Edgeworth. There's also some discussions about what a lawyer really is, which is a tie-in to the theme of final case of Gyakuten Saiban 2. If you haven't play the earlier games, go play them to find out more about the above. Eventually, you'll find that it was actually Phoenix who's recounting the story of how Mia saved him five years ago. Take note when he says that some forgotten memories are surfacing again - a picture of Dahlia accompanies this sentence. Looks like you've not seen the last of her yet, no. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TURNABOUT MEMORIES: END ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 5. EPISODE 2: THE STOLEN TURNABOUT [ PW3501 ] ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND [ PW3502 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This case is based on a popular Japanese detective story phenomenon, that of a clever and cocky thief who continuously outwits those who're after him. Kaitou Kido from Detective Conan (ie. Case Closed) is one such example. It's no surprise, therefore, to find our good friend Detective Dick Gumshoe falling prey to the mysterious "Mask*DeMasque". Damn, even the thief flying off into the night with the moon as a background looks suspiciously familiar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1: INVESTIGATION [ PW3503 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/11 Time: 3:24pm Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices Back to the present day, you're lazing around (ok, cleaning the toilet) in your office as usual, while Maya tries to get your attention. Pearl makes an appearance as well, so that makes two spirit mediums in your office right now. Pearl shows you a poster. It seems like Kurain Village is having some sort of treasure exhibition. Remember the sacred urn from the previous game? Well, it's staring right at you now in the poster, what with the hastily glued back pieces showing no signs of falling apart. Kurain Village is, of course, the hometown of the Feys. Pearl explains that the exhibition doesn't start until next week, but they managed to get some VIP passes to the preview show. Tonight. Looks like you're going with them, yes? Go through the conversations as you painstakingly explain the origins of these two ladies... for the benefit of the newbies, and then add the Treasure Exhibit Poster to the Court Record. You may also notice that the magatama is back in your inventory. Aargh, this means that the "Psyche-Lock" returns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/11 Time: 7:18pm Location: Lordly Tailor, Main Exhibit Hall Quite a view here, but nothing much to do at the moment. You can examine the area if you want for some nostalgia. The folding screen right in front may be familiar to you. You know, that was the one at the crime scene when Maya was accused of killing Dr. Turner Grey in the previous game. You should go to the basement warehouse next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/11 Location: Lordly Tailor, Basement Warehouse A familiar face greets you here, the very sexy Adrian Andrews! She was involved in the Nickel Samurai case from the previous game, and it seems that she has found a new job since. She's now in-charge of the promotion, planning and security for this treasure exhibit. You can talk to her about "Adrian Andrews" and "Lordly Tailor". There's nothing really important here. If you want, you can also show her the exhibit poster to Andrews for more conversation. You should now examine this area. Of special note is the computer in the middle of the left side of the area. It looks like it's hooked up to the security camera above. This is to ensure that a photo is taken whenever someone goes in and out of the storeroom. Examine the camera as well, and Andrews confirms the photo-taking process. On the right side, there's a golden statue in the middle. That's a statue of Ami Fey, the founder of the Kurain Channeling Technique. The statue is holding the Kurain Shichishito, a ceremonial sword that looks really creepy. Ami Fey's Golden Statue added to records. Time for dinner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Time: 10:09am Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices Maya and Pearl turn on the TV, and a treasure heist is being reported. It appears that the renowned phantom thief, "Mask*DeMasque", has stolen the sacred urn! Talk to her about "Sacred Urn" to find out more about this piece of gem. If you're wondering why the word "AMI" has became " I AM" on the urn, however, look no further than the second case of the previous game. Sacred Urn added to the Court Record. Talk to Maya about "What to do" now, and you'll be tasked to find the guy who stole the urn. You can also talk about "Last year's incident" as well if you need the background to the Turner Grey murder from last year. Time for some sleuthing at Lordly Tailor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Lordly Tailor, Main Exhibit Hall The place looks similar to what it was yesterday, but when you try to proceed, another familiar figure greets you. Yes, as you may have expected, it's the rather clueless Detective Gumshoe again. Talk to him about "What happened", and he'll eventually tell you that the crime occured at around 1:30am this morning. An emergency phone call from a guard at the crime scene confirms the timing. The crime scene, however, isn't at this hall, but the basement warehouse. He also briefly mentions about the guard, who thinks that he's an "ace detective". Ask about this "Ace Detective" then. Gumshoe replies that the thief "Mask*DeMasque" has already struck five times, but on his fourth heist, the said detective managed to recover the stolen treasure. The ace detective is now in the basement as well, so you should go there to meet up with his. Before you go, however, talk to Gumshoe about "Mask*DeMasque". Seems like this dude is some kind of a master of diguise. He always sends a calling card before he steals something. This opens up a conversation about "Calling card", so ask about it as well. Gumshoe shows you the card, which bears Mask*DeMasque's signature emblem. It's the only way the police could tell whether the card is genuine. DeMasque's Calling Card acquired. Examine this card now to see the message written by the thief to the security at Lordly Tailor. Time to head down to the basement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Lordly Tailor, Basement Warehouse Ace Detective Luke Atmey greets you at the basement. He seems to be able to tell your professions by simply looking at you (ha ha). Listen to his bunch of nonsense, until you can finally talk to him. Ask about "Ace Detective", and he'll explain that he's the arch-enemy of the notorious Mask*DeMasque. He also mentioned something about a "Portrait of Mejeena", which he recovered from the phantom thief. By the way, take note of the red jewel on his finger. This was the reward he received after he recovered the portrait. Talk to him about "Mask*DeMasque" now. This will eventually open up a topic on "The night of the crime". Atmey explains the request for his services precedes the Mask's calling card. It appears that Andrews was just being cautious. Take note when Atmey says that he only operates alone - he was waiting for Mask*DeMasque alone last night as well. Atmey further explains that he hid in the warehouse and waited for the thief to arrive. However, no one came through the entrance. Amazingly, however, the sacred urn still disappeared. Something is not very right here. You should now examine the scene. However, you can't exactly do so now because Atmey refuses to grant you access. Present the calling card to him then - this should convince him of your ability, and so he leaves the scene. Thank God. Check out the computer, and you'll find that the security camera only went off once last night, at about 1:00am. This Camera Data will be added to your Court Record. Examine the Shichishito on the ground next. Pearl finds something strange about this, since this sword was originally placed in the hand of the golden statue last night. You also notice that the sword is now slightly bent. Shichishito acquired as evidence. Now, search the wooden box to the left of the sword. Maya reveals that this was the box that used to house the sacred urn. Notice the pink spots of paint on the box. Head towards the right side of this area, and check out the golden statue. Pearl notices that the statue has been moved to the right from where it originally was. This new information will be appended in the court record. Check out the pink splash of paint now. The paint has dried up, and it seems that it has been a few days since it was spilt. You also notice that there's some kind of shape left in the bottom left side of the stain. It's time to return to the exhibit hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Lordly Tailor, Main Exhibit Hall It's nice to see that you haven't forgo the Steel Samurai ringtone on your cell. Pick up the call, and an exuberant Gumshoe greets you at the other end. He brings you the news that the notorious Mask*DeMasque has been arrested. To be precise, the thief has surrendered himself! When asked about the sacred urn, Gumshoe appears a little evasive. He then tells you that Mask*DeMasque has requested to meet you. So, what are you waiting for? You'll need to first return to your office before you can hit the detention center though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Go through the conversations with Gumshoe. He's still rather evasive about the urn, so ignore him for now. Continue clicking through Maya's nonsense until you come face-to-face with a guy in a weird costume. He claims that he's Mask*DeMasque, and his real name is Ron DeLite. He seems a little to meek to be the notorious thief, but still, you've to do your job. Ask Ron about "Mask*DeMasque", and he'll give you a complicated answer that's so complicated that I've no idea what he's talking about. Soon, he requests that you talk to someone called "Dessie". Before you ask about Dessie, fulfil Maya's desire to reclaim the "Sacred Urn". You know, I'm sick and tired of talking to this guy already. Oh yes, the urn. He lost it. "Lost it?" Yes, looks like so, and he has no idea whatsoever as to where he lost it. Now, ask about "Dessie". So, Dessie is his wife. Ron reveals that it was Dessie who requested your presence here. Once again, he asks that you visit her in his hideout. Looks like you've no other choice but to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Mask*DeMasque's Hideout Desiree DeLite greets you here. Wow, what a looker. You may want to examine this place before you talk to her. You'll find the Mask*DeMasque costume, as well as other stuff that suggest that Ron is indeed the phantom thief. Also, the alien helmet at the top left corner of the room looks vaguely familiar... ... but the only important thing here at the moment is an envelope at the bottom left corner of the screen. You won't be able to read the contents of the letter yet though, but keep this in mind. Anyway, talk to Desiree about "Ron DeLite". She reveals that Ron may be suffering from delusions, and she doesn't believe that he has stolen the urn at all. Now, talk about "Desiree DeLite". She says that she's someone who craves excitement. She also reveals that Ron is incredibly rich... for a security guard. The above opens the topic "The night of the crime". Desiree replies that while riding her motorcycle last night, she got pulled over for speeding. It was about 3:00am when she finally got home, and Ron was already fast asleep then. Show her Mask*DeMasque's profile now, and she'll tell you that Ron is merely a big fan of the phantom thief. And, since he tends to be delusional at times, he firmly believes that he's the thief instead. This opens up the topic "Delusions". Talk about them, and she'll eventually ask you to pass a letter to Ron. Desiree's Letter acquired. It apparently contains something important. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Back here, show Desiree's letter to Ron. Click through the proceedings, and you'll eventually be asked whether you want to defend Ron. What do you expect? Select "Take his case" to proceed, of course... to the dismay of Maya and Pearl. In fact, Pearl was so furious that she ran away. Return to your office. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices You'll find Pearl back here, and she seems to be apologetic about her earlier outburst. Click through the conversations, and then talk to Maya about the following: "Pearl", "Maya", "Kurain Village Customs" and "Maya's Mother". These give you some back story to both Maya and Pearl, which you'd have already know if you've played the earlier games in the series. There's also a snippet about how Pearl's father left her family. You should continue your investigation now at the exhibit hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Lordly Tailor, Main Exhibit Hall A new sprite for Adrian Andrews! I like! She's extremely apologetic about the loss of the sacred urn. Talk to her on "DeMasque's Calling Card", and she'll tell you that after she received the card, she intended to show it to the police. However, Atmey stopped her from doing so. She also confirms that she requested the security before the card was sent to her. Talk about "The Security". She'll eventually reveal that the appraised value of the sacred urn is practically zero. Meaning, it isn't exactly a "treasure", per se. She also tells you that even though the guards involved in the security were handled by Atmey, many people went in and out of the warehouse from about five days ago, due to the arrival of many new exhibits. There's nothing else you can do here at the moment, so it's time to pay Atmey a visit at his agency. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Atmey Detective Agency As usual, you can examine the stuff here, but nothing really important for now. Talk to Atmey about "The night of the crime", and he'll tell about his feuds with DeMasque. He also tells you that the thief's first theft was the "Tear of Emanon", a blue jewel. Take note of this. You can talk about the "Sacred Urn", but Atmey will end up talking nonsense again. More importantly, ask about "DeMasque's M.O." - that's operandi modus for you. Guess what now? A Psyche-Lock appears! Look at Atmey, he's hiding a secret! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LUKE ATMEY'S PSYCHE-LOCK: DEMASQUE'S M.O. [ PW3504 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fortunately, you already have the evidence to crush this lock. Present the magatama to Atmey to initiate the process. You deduce that it's not possible for Atmey "not to see anyone passed through the door last night". When prompted, show him the camera data - the camera went off once at about 1:00am, meaning someone must have passed through the door. So, it Atmey really didn't see the thief, he must have been... ... choose "unconscious" to proceed. Atmey's still pretty smug about your theory. He'll ask for one more evidence to prove it. Present the Shichishito - it was on the hand of the golden statue previously, but it's found on the ground, and bent. The logical deduction here would be that the thief used it to knock Atmey out, cold. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can now ask about "DeMasque's M.O." again. Atmey finally admits that he's been KO-ed. The Shichishito will be updated with this new piece of information. This also means that Atmey never actually saw the thief. Meaning, the thief may not be DeMasque afterall. Atmey then presents a photo to counter the above. This one shows a person in DeMasque's costume leaving the door. The timestamp on it says 00:58:43. Note that there's no date stamp on the photo. Security Photo added to records. This opens up a topic of "DeMasque's reason". Atmey will tell you that there's a green envelope in Ron's house, and he urges you to check it out. Head back to DeMasque's Hideout now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Mask*DeMasque's Hideout Desiree is still here, but you can conveniently ignore her. Remember the envelope I told you about earlier, at the bottom left corner of the screen? Examine it, and you'll find the following contents: "If you don't want your true identity revealed to the world, come to KB Security at 1:00am on October 12th and bring $50,000. If you don't, I'll take that red diamond you received the other day instead." A blackmail letter? Yes, and it's added to the Court Record. This is when the doorbell rings. Desiree opens the door for her guest, and he turns out to be none other than Larry Butz, your childhood friend cum first ever client! Go through the introduction about Larry, and then talk to him about "Larry Butz". It seems that he has found a new job... as a security guard? He also tells you about his latest romantic relations with fine ladies such as "Bennifer" and "Katty Tom". Ha ha. Ask "Why you came here?" next, and he'll tell you that he picked up a wallet while working last night. It was found at the part-time security job's building. The wallet turns out to be Ron's, and it'll be added to the Court Record as well. Ask about the "wallet". Larry tells you that he found the wallet at the first floor of the company's building. It isn't a surprise though, since Ron works there too. So, Larry and Ron are colleagues. As you check the wallet, you'll find a key card. This will be added to the records. Show Larry the blackmail letter. The envelope shows the words "KB Security" on it, and Larry says that that's where he works. Talk about "KB Security" now, and he tells you that it takes about 30 minutes to reach there by car from here. Now, this means it'd take about an hour to go from here to KB and back. If Ron was indeed at KB when the robbery occured, he wouldn't have enough time to go to Lordly Tailor for the urn. Present the key card to Larry now. He reveals that the serial number on the card is for the CEO's office. Everytime it's used, it leaves a record of who's entered the room, and when. This new information will be appended in the records. Your phone rings now. It's Pearl, and she's at Atmey's. Seems that she got lost while trying to gather clues for you. Go there to meet her now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/12 Location: Atmey Detective Agency Atmey isn't here, but you notice something's changed since the last time you were here. A bag is staring at you on the desk in the middle of the room. Examine it, and you'll try to open it. This is when the Ace Detective reappears again. You did, however, manage to lay your hands on the contents though. It feels hard and smooth - decisive evidence here, by the way! Talk to him about "Tomorrow's trial". As you may have expected by now, Atmey will take the stands tomorrow. However, he tells you that your enemy isn't him, but the legendary prosecutor Godot. Ask about "Godot", and Atmey will tell you that he's a prosecutor who has gotten the seal of approval by even your greatest friend/ rival, Miles Edgeworth. Somehow, I don't believe him. You can also ask about "DeMasque's identity", but it doesn't add anything important to your investigation. The day ends now, as you prepare yourself for a tough battle in court tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2: TRIAL [ PW3505 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Time: 9:36am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Quickly talk to Maya to get DeMasque's publicity photo into the court record. You may want to check the photo now, and try to compare it to the security camera photo. Spot the difference? Anyhow, go through the rest of the conversations with Ron and Desiree. Court begins soon after. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Time: 10:06am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 6 You get first impressions of Cyclops... I mean, Godot. Super cool soundtrack here as he talks. Enjoy it while you can. It turns out that this is the first time Godot is prosecuting. Huh? So what was Atmey harping about last night? Regardless, click through the initial chih-chat until you finally get to the first testimony. It's from Gumshoe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: MASK*DEMASQUE'S CRIMES [ PW3506 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Mask*DeMasque is a master thief that first started his crime spree 6 months ago." 2: "He's so confident that he sends his calling card before he even commits the crime!" 3: "This was his fifth heist, and as usual, he sent a card on to Lordly Tailor." 4: "His pattern is to always go after only the most precious art pieces." 5: "That's why we're sure it was Mask*DeMasque, sir. It fits his M.O. to a T!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MASK*DEMASQUE'S CRIMES [ PW3506 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At 4, present the sacred urn - your earlier discussion with Andrews has confirmed that the appraised value of the urn is practically zero. So, why would DeMasque, who goes after the most precious art pieces, steal it? Go through the long discussions now, which basically hover around the topic of a fake DeMasque. The judge wants you to prove that the thief at Lordly Tailor was indeed a fake, so present the security camera photo. There's something peculiar about this photo. When prompted, point to the chest area of the DeMasque in picture. If you did a comparison of the publicity photo earlier as I suggested, you'll find that the thief in the security photo is missing a broach near the chest area. The broach is some sort of a symbol for the thief, so if the person at Lordly Tailor wasn't wearing one, it's likely that he's a fake. As Godot downs his nth cup of coffee, he shows the broach in question. Apparently, it was found behind the golden statue at the crime scene. He goes on to reveal that Ron's fingerprints are found on the broach. Hmm, things aren't looking good. DeMasque's Broach now added to the records. It appears that it was torn off some clothing. Looks like there was some sort of a struggle at the crime scene that night. Gumshoe's stint as a witness ends now, as Godot summons his major weapon. Look at him! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3507 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "It was approximately 1 o'clock in the morning... just after the date changed." 2: "That's when my nemesis, the infamous Mask*DeMasque, dancingly descended upon me!" 3: "Just as I began to turn, the coward struck a fierce bloe upon my noble head!" 4: "Darkness swallowed me before I could land a single strike. When I awoke, he was gone." 5: "Thirty minutes later, I used an emergency phone to notify the police!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3507 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Atmey's testimony is slightly tougher to crack. Still, at 4, present DeMasque's broach. The broach shows signs have being ripped off some clothing. Therefore, it's only logical to deduce that the thief struggled with someone that night. However, since Atmey was adamant that he was the only person at the warehouse then, the only who could've fought the thief must be Atmey. This will lead to Atmey's next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: FIGHT WITH THE THIEF [ PW3508 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Indeed, it's true that I looked away from the door for a brief moment." 2: "However... Luke Atmey cannot be so easily discombobulated!" 3: "Unfortunately, the thief grabbed a weapon from the side and... rendered me senseless." 4: "A true gentlemen fights only with his own fists... But they were not enough." 5: "His first blow struck true! Bam!... And that's all she wrote." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: FIGHT WITH THE THIEF [ PW3508 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 5, and Atmey replies that he was blinded by a sudden flash of light when fighting DeMasque with his own fighting style. Press further by asking about "Atmey Fight Style?", and he'll reply that it involves fighting with his back to the wall, so that he won't be struck from behind. The judge now asks your opinion about this testimony. Reply "It was very important". This will lead to a revision of Atmey's testimony. 6: "I put my back to the wall to fight, but the thief's blow landed upon my third eye." Show him the Shichishito at this statement - Atmey was the one who told you that he was struck on the head from behind when you talked to him yesterday. This contradicts his current testimony. You also find it strange that Atmey has hidden the calling card from the police. It feels almost as if he was afraid that the police would help with the security. Godot throws his first objection at you - it kinda reminds me of Manfred von Karma's, by the way. Continue with the conversations, and you'll be asked to explain your point of argument. Tell the judge that "Mr. Atmey is Mask*DeMasque!" You'll go on to explain the unnatural points of Atmey. Way to go, Phoenix. As Atmey is just about to admit that he's thief, Godot throws another objection, and a coffee cup at you. He wants you to show proof to substantiate your claims that Atmey is indeed the master thief. Sadly, you don't have it yet. Tell the judge that said proof "has yet to be found!" to proceed. Just when all seems lost, Desiree halts the proceedings, and throws you a lifeline. She brings you the bag that you weren't able to check out at Atmey's place, and the contents inside - the Sacred Urn! Sacred Urn updated in the records. It has pink splotches all over it, and it seems that it's back in one piece, with "AMI" instead of "I AM" on it...? Hmm. Continue on with the trial as Godot doubts the credibility of Desiree, since she's, afterall, Ron's wife. When given the prompt, ask to "Show fingerprints on the urn". Atmey rebutes your idea though. You need to find another reason to test for fingerprints. When asked, present your own profile - you were trying to check the contents of that bag yesterday, and you were so close that you actually touched the urn. If the urn shows your prints, then it's proof that it's indeed found at Atmey's agency. After you cross more swords with Godot, Atmey will finally admit that he's Mask*DeMasque. Watch the following scenes, and somehow, Ron still wants to be convicted. The strange proceedings that follow means that you'll eventually have to listen to Ron's testimony about why he's the real Mask*DeMasque, duh! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S TESTIMONY: MASK*DEMASQUE'S IDENTITY [ PW3509 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The truth is, I've been Mask*DeMasque all along!" 2: "I mean, you can't prove that I'm not actually Mask*DeMasque, can you?" 3: "I don't have an alibi for the night the urn was stolen, after all!" 4: "I donned my costume that night and dancingly descended upon the scene of the crime!" 5: "Look! You can see right there in the photo! That's me!" 6: "As for my broach, I snagged it on the door handle and it got torn off, that's all!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MASK*DEMASQUE'S IDENTITY [ PW3509 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stupid, stupid Ron. Anyway, press at 3. You'll need to find an alibi for Ron. Say "Yes, I have evidence" to proceed, and then present Ron's wallet - it was found at about 1:00am at the KB Security Building. Meaning, it's possible that Ron was actually at KB Security at the time of the crime. Ron suggests that someone could've planted his wallet there to make it look as if he wasn't at the crime scene. You reply that he probably dropped his wallet when he was trying to enter the CEO's office with the key card. Continue on, Godot will ask you for the reason why Ron had to go to KB Security in the wee hours of the morning. Present the blackmail letter now - Ron must be meeting up with the blackmailer in the CEO's office at KB Security then. Watch Godot drown his sorrows with coffee, and then go through the next scenes quickly. Coffee seems to have restore Godot's broken ego, as he throws in a relevant objection - did you actually check on the CEO of KB Security? This will lead to the judge asking for a witness to back up your claim that Ron was indeed at the security building. Present Larry's profile then - he was the one who told you about the key card, and that it belongs to the CEO's office. He also mentioned about the card recording each movement in and out of the room, and the identity of the person who did so. Which means, you can simply analyze the key card's data to find out whether your claims are true! Bravo! Some time passes as the key card is analyzed. Godot returns to inform that the CEO of KB Security is Kane Bullard. He was uncontactable, but at least Godot got the key card data. It shows that the key was used at 1:00am in the morning of the crime. This information will be appended in the records. This also means that Ron cannot be the man dressed in DeMasque's costume at the Lordly Tailor basement. Godot admits defeat, Ron is acquitted, and everything seems good. Until... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Time: 2:24pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Click through the scenes of celebrations. Do you feel weird? Is the case a little too short for your liking now? Well, just. you. wait. Soon, Godot catches up with you, and he brings some bad news. Kane Bullard was found. Or rather, his body was. The estimated time of death was 1:00am on 10/12. Ring a bell? You've just proven in court today that Ron was at the CEO's office at KB Security at just about that time... ... and that office has now become a murder scene! Add the presence of the blackmail letter, and Ron's case doesn't look good at all. Indeed, he'll now be charged with murder. Thanks, Capcom, for providing such an awesome twist to the case. Take note, however, that Godot mentioned that Ron was once an employee of KB Security. This is important. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 3: INVESTIGATION [ PW3510 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Time: 3:02pm Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices Go through the initial scenes, and Pearl will return to Kurain Village with the sacred urn. Talk to Maya on "What do do". She tells you that perhaps Desiree knows the location of KB Security. Ask about the "Sacred Urn", and she notices the same thing that I mentioned earlier. "I AM" has become "AMI" again. It's definitely worth a thought, or two. You can also talk to Maya about "Kurain Village" if you want. Nothing important of note, really. Go to the detention center now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room It appears that Ron is undergoing some serious grilling by the police. Come back later then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: Mask*DeMasque's Hideout Technically, this isn't DeMasque's hideout anymore. But, well. YOU NEVER KNOW, ok (hint). You'll find Desiree here, and she doesn't look happy. Talk to her about "Ron DeLite". This opens a topic of "Love at first sight?". Ask about this. Desiree explains that Ron saved her life the first time they met. She was taken hostage by two robbers then, but Ron came to her rescue in his security guard uniform. Talk about "Detective Atmey" if you want. Nothing really important, but just to complete the conversations, you know. Now, ask about "KB Security". She'll give you the directions to there. She doesn't seem to know that Ron is no longer working there. Anyway, head towards there now. You've a crime scene to investigate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: KB Security, CEO's Office As expected, Gumshoe is at the crime scene. Ask "What happened", and he replies that Kane's body was found at 9:00am this morning. The time of death was ascertained to be 1:00am on 10/12, and the cause of death is a blunt force trauma to the head. Kane's Autopsy Report acquired. Gumshoe adds that Kane's body was stashed inside the large safe that you see in the office. This is probably why it took so long before it was discovered. Talk to Gumshoe about "Detective Atmey". He'll tell you that there was actually a witness to DeMasque's first heist. Remember the "Tear of Emanon"? Gumshoe goes on to show your a newspaper clipping about that case. You should notice that the jewel that was stolen is BLUE in color. Something doesn't fit here, no? Newspaper Clipping acquired. In the newspaper clipping, you'll also find a photo of Atmey at work, with a security guard in the background. Show this clipping back to Gumshoe, and he'll confirm that the witness in question was the guard. In fact, the guard actually worked with Atmey to catch DeMasque then. Meanwhile, the lot of you find the guard vaguely familiar. You may also want to present the blackmail letter to Gumshoe, which raises a valid question - why would Kane blackmail Ron? Now, talk to Gumshoe about "Prosecutor Godot". He doesn't have much details about Godot, except that he has a mysterious background. You should now examine the scene. There are no fingerprints on the safe. More importantly, only a few people know how to open it. Among them, only one person has no alibi at the time of the crime. Not surprisingly, it was Ron, who was a former security chief here. Examine the buzzer that's to the right of the painting named "The Best Sunrise of my Life". After some commotion, Gumshoe explains that this is the emergency button. It's connected to the basement guard room, and it's used to summon security up to this area. Strangely, it didn't go off during the time of the crime. There's also no fingerprints on the buzzer. Note that Kane wasn't wearing a glove when he died, by the way. Emergency Buzzer added to the records. Now, check out the bookshelves at the right of the office. It's filled with bunches of file. This makes the single binder on the coffee table looks extremely suspicious. Examine it. It turns out that this file contains plenty of information about DeMasque. On the last page, yo find a list of DeMasque's major heists. After Kane's List is added to the records, check it again, and take note of the following: Tear of Emanon (Jewel) - $100,000 Crown of Bongora (Artifact) - $200,000 Left Hand of Hades (Sculpture) - $240,000 Portrait of Mejeena (Painting) - $800,000 There's nothing else here of interest. Perhaps you should pay the security room a visit next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: KB Security, Security Guard Office Larry works here, so it isn't a surprise to find him here. He tells you about some "Good info" as well. Apparently, Ron was fired by the company suddenly about a year ago. He must have done something bad to be treated this way, yes? You can talk about "Security guard", but nothing much comes out of it. Instead, ask about "The night of the crime". Larry immediately shows two Psyche-Locks at you. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY BUTZ'S PSYCHE-LOCK: THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME [ PW3511 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thankfully, you already have the necessary items to break this lock. As usual, present the magatama to initiate the sequence. When asked to show proof that Larry wasn't in the guard room at the time of the crime, present Ron's wallet - he has told you earlier that he found the wallet at about 1:00am on the first floor of the building. One lock crushed. Larry argues that even if he wasn't at his post, the killer could've enter the CEO's office before 10:00pm, which was when he began his shift. Prove him wrong by showing him the key card - it was used once, at 1:00am, the exact time of the crime. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can now ask about "The night of the crime" again. Larry explains that he left his post because his girlfriend needed to talk to him. Show him the emergency buzzer now. This opens up a topic on "Emergency Buzzer". Talk to him about it. The conversation will eventually lead to a shocking revelation. The buzzer, previously thought to have been untouched during the crime, actually went off at 1:02am that day! Stupid Larry! Buzzer record acquired. You can examine the room if you want. Nothing important of note here, even though you'll find out that Larry's boss is none other than Wendy Oldbag. Thank God she's on vacation now! You're done with KB Security for now. Head to Lordly Tailor's basement now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: Lordly Tailor, Basement Warehouse You find Andrews here. Talk to her about "DeMasque's Identity" and "The night of the crime". Nothing that you don't know about here. However, when you attempt to ask about "Sacred Urn", she presents two Psyche-Locks. Unfortunately, you've nothing to unlock them yet. Go back to Gumshoe at the CEO's office. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: KB Security, CEO's Office Present Kane's profile to the detective. This opens a topic on "The victim". Gumshoe replies that Kane has earned plenty of money by selling trade secrets between rival companies. He also reveals that KB Security used to head security operations against DeMasque. However, after screwing up a few times, the company's reputation suffered a nosedive. It's time to head back to the detention center for Ron now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Ron is available now. After explaining the grave situation to him, you can start talking about "Mask*DeMasque". Ron insists that he's the real DeMasque. With today's earlier trial in mind, however, Ron admits that he wasn't the one who stole the sacred urn. So, the thief shown in the security camera photo must be Atmey, then? No answer to that at the moment. Talk about "The night of the crime" now. Ron admits that he was indeed at KB Security because of the black- mail letter. He knews where the CEO's office was, since he used to work there. As there was no answer at the door, he used the key card to unlock the door. That was probably when he dropped his wallet, by the way. Someone was in the office... and it looks suspiciously like Atmey's shadow to me! Ron wasn't sure who it was though, and before he could react, he was knocked in the head. The blow rendered him unconscious, but when he woke up, he saw the dead body of Kane right in front of him. Ron decided to hide the body. Since he used to be in the security team, he knew how to open the safe as well. Once that was done, he carefully avoided the security cameras in the building (he was the one who set them up, anyway!) and escaped. Next, ask "Why you were fired". This conversation should confirm that Ron is indeed the real DeMasque. He turned to a life of crime due to the high-spending lifestyle of Desiree. He didn't exactly tell you why he was fired, though. Show him the newspaper clipping from Gumshoe. He confirms that that's an article on his debut heist. He explains that he managed to escape that day by dumping his costume in a nearby trash can, and changing into his own security guard's uniform. So, the guard in the background of the photo is none other than Ron. Newspaper clipping updated with the above information. Ron further adds that Atmey's managed to see through his trick after finding the DeMasque's costume in the bin. This was how Atmey got his hands on DeMasque's signature broach. Ron recieved the first of many blackmail letters thereafter. Ask about "Blackmail letter" now. Ron explains that the letter you found at his place isn't the first, but it's the first that actually requested him to be at somewhere specific. After he received the first letter, he had no choice but to give up the Tear of Emanon, by putting it into a safe-deposit box that the letter specified. He also reveals that he received $10,000 after surrending the treasure. Soon, Ron started getting heist plans in the mail. Talk about these "Heist plans" now. It appears that someone was behind all the other heists that Ron has committed. And, each time after stealing a treasure, he'd place them into the safe-deposit box for cash. He's unsure about the theft of the sacred urn though. Ron's testimony is now added to the Court Record. Go through the next scenes as Ron talks about an important point. He explains his eagerness to be convicted of the theft at Lordly Tailor. If he was convicted of the theft, he'd have gotten an alibi for the murder of Kane. Remember this point, because I believe that the real killer has exactly the same idea as well. Pearl returns next, and solves one mystery for you - the sacred urn is the real deal. However, the pink splotches on it were applied onto the urn only recently. Sacred Urn re-acquired. Finding how these pink splotches got onto the urn is of utmost importance. So, return to where you first spotted them. That is, the basement of Lordly Tailor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/13 Location: Lordly Tailor, Basement Warehouse Andrews is still here. Ignore her for the moment, but instead examine the pink splotches on the wall at the right area. Pearl comments that they're the same color as those on the urn. What could be the cause of that odd-shape deviation at the bottom left of the spots? Return to the left area, and examine the wooden box again. That was the box where the urn was housed previously, and strangely, it's stained with pink splotches as well. Urn Box added to the records. Examine the spots on the wall again. This time, you finally deduce that the odd-shape was created by the box. Damn, was it so difficult? You feel pretty confident now, as the Paint Marks are also added to the records. It's time to tackle Andrews' Psyche-Locks as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ADRIAN ANDREWS'S PSYCHE-LOCK: SACRED URN [ PW3512 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Initiate the process, and when Andrews claims that the sacred urn may be a fake, show her the urn itself - Pearl has confirmed that the urn is indeed genuine. You'll explain to Andrews that Pearl accidentally broke the urn one year ago, and it appears that it was broken again recently. When asked how do you know that it was broken recently, show her the treasure exhibit poster - when this photo was taken, the pot still showed the words "I AM". When it was retrieved, it shows the correct word "AMI". One lock down. Andrews will now ask for proof that the urn was broken at Lordly Tailor. Present the paint marks - the pink paint on the urn coincides with those found on the walls/ floor of this basement. Andrews argue that you can get pink paint anywhere, and there's no proof linking the paint on the urn to the paint marks. Show her the urn box to finally break down her resistance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can finally talk about the "Sacred Urn" now. Watch the scenes now as Andrews explains the incident leading to the destruction and re- construction of the urn. It's rather comical, but I'll leave it to you to read through the huge chunk of text. More importantly, Andrews confirms that no one else has seen the urn after she kept it back into the box. All the above information about the urn will now be summarized and updated into your records. There's still one more mystery though. Ask about "Ami Fey's statue". When you first arrived at the basement, there wasn't any paint marks. Andrews then explains that she made use of the golden statue to hide those marks. It's strange, however, that the statue was eventually moved. She obviously has no idea who moved it. The movement status of the golden statue will be updated in the court record. Somehow, it seems like the urn is connected to Kane's murder. Where will this lead you? The answer lies in court tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-1: TRIAL [ PW3513 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 9:41am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 The trial of Atmey is just next door, and it's attracting a huge crowd. Click through the usual conversations until the trial starts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 6 As usual, go through the initial bunch of conversations as the judge summarizes the case. Soon, Ron will be ask to take the stands as the first witness today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S TESTIMONY: MY VISIT TO KB SECURITY [ PW3514 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "That evening, around 1:00am, I went to see Mr. Bullard in his office at KB Security." 2: "The blackmail letter I got... It ordered me to go there." 3: "I'd been working for KB Security until a year ago, so I knew where his office was." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MY VISIT TO KB SECURITY [ PW3514 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 2. Ron shares more about the blackmail letter, or rather, letters that he has been receiving. You stopped him from talking too much though. When given the chance, however, choose "Press further" to proceed. Ron now talks about the contents of the latest letter, which demanded $50,000 from him. Godot believes it's a good enough motive for murder, but Ron replies that he never intended to pay the money anyway. This leads to an addition to Ron's testimony. 4: "The blackmail thread didn't scare me. It wasn't going to cause me trouble or anything." Now, press at 3. Godot takes the opportunity to imagine his own motive for the murder again, so choose "Why he (Ron) was fired" to continue. Ron explains that in order to fulfil the spending demands of Desiree, he has stolen some company data for cash. As a result, he was fired. However, the matter was kept under wraps, and it appeared to others that he had merely resigned. This leads to another addition to Ron's testimony. 5: "He fired me for selling company secrets... but Dessie doesn't know about that." Go back to 4 now, and press the statement. Ron believes that the blackmailer was referring to his identity as Mask*DeMasque. Godot objects this explanation though, since Kane had no proof that Ron was the thief. Click through the next scenes, until you begin to wonder if the truth about Ron's sacking would've become a problem to him. Select "Yes, he would" to proceed. Godot will now ask you to provide evidence to prove your assertion. Present Desiree's profile - Ron is basically scared of letting his wife know about the secret. This, however, leads to Godot's latest fabrication of a murder motive - if Kane was to threaten to Ron with the revelation of the secret to Desiree, it'd make a very strong motive for Ron to kill. Damn, you've fallen into Godot's trap again. Nevertheless, keep going until you hit the next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S TESTIMONY: AT THE CEO'S OFFICE [ PW3515 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When I entered the office, there was a suspicious shadow there." 2: "Suddenly, I was hit on the forehead. After that, I remember being a bit dazed." 3: "If I hadn't been wearing that, I would have been killed!" 4: "When I came to... Mr. Bullard was lying there... dead!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AT THE CEO'S OFFICE [ PW3515 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 3. Ron explains that the "that" that he was wearing was the DeMasque costume. This leads to a revision to his testimony, again. 5: "I'd have been killed if I hadn't been wearing my Mask*DeMasque costume!" Press at 5 now. Ron says that he's dressed as the DeMasque, because he thought that he was being blackmailed over the DeMasque issue. Thus, he felt that he should go as his alter ego, just to be safe. "Press harder" when given the chance. Ron explains that his cape got caught on the safe door when he was hiding Kane's body... oops. More additions to the testimony, then. 6: "I panicked and hid the body in the safe. It took about 10 minutes." Immediately present the buzzer record - the buzzer was pushed once at 1:02am. If Ron was truly the killer, he'd have ran as soon as that buzzer sounded. Watch the next scenes as your engage in a series of objections. Your underlying point is that when the buzzer was sounded, Ron was unconscious. Meaning, there must be another person in the office at that time. Godot is furious, and he now argues now the buzzer could've been pressed by Kane himself. Well, you know that's not true. When given the chance, choose "I can prove it alright", and then present the buzzer - it has no fingerprints on it! More objections flying around. Just click through the arguments as usual. You're gaining the upper hand over Godot here, so enjoy the moment. And then, the judge asks a relevant question - if there was indeed another person in the room, and if that person had just killed Kane, why would he press the buzzer? After taking some time to gather your thoughts, select "To call the security guard" to proceed - the killer must have the intention to alert the guards on purpose. If the killer was to escape immediately after pressing the buzzer, and if a guard was to arrive at the scene soon after, the only ones left in the room would be Kane's body and Ron. It's obvious that the killer wanted to put the blame on Ron. More exchanges, and the judge will finally ask you to pinpoint the identity of the real murderer. This should be pretty obvious to you right now. Present Atmey's profile to proceed. Yeah, he's the one. Now, Atmey is currently on trial next door, for the petty crime of theft. It was his plan all along to be charged with a lesser crime as compared to murder. A guilty verdict in the theft charge would've given Atmey the perfect alibi for the murder of Kane. Click through the rest of the scenes, as you race against time to haul Atmey into this courtroom before the verdict at the next door. As you ponder over your options, Mia does one of her spooky encouragements again. If this is your first time playing this series, don't panic. The return of Mia in the form of a spirit is as common as Britney Spears doing a stupid thing in public. It happens in every game in the series, and I've been wondering when she'd "make an appearance" for some time now. Recess time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 11:58am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 5 Nice to see Payne again. And a new judge as well. Anyway, you appear right on time as the judge was about to pass a verdict. You immediately file an accusation of murder for Atmey. So, it's do or die in the next round. See you soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-2: TRIAL [ PW3516 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 12:14pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Click the jump and head towards the trial quickly. Take note of your main objectives in this trial: 1. to crush Atmey's alibi at Lordly Tailor; 2. to establish his motive for killing Kane. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 12:21pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 6 Go through the usual initial conversations until Atmey gives his testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: THE ALIBI [ PW3517 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I was stealing the urn as Mask*DeMasque, just as I announced I would..." 2: "I had more than enough time to prepare. It was a pathetically easy job." 3: "A photograph contains no words... But in this case, one turned out to be my witness." 4: "The time at which the camera captured Mask*DeMasque was the same time as the murder!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE ALIBI [ PW3517 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two possibilites here. Either the DeMasque in the security camera photo is fake, or the photo itself is. To proceed, you'll have to press every statement. At 1, Atmey will challenge you to name his accomplice. Choose "Give it up", since you've no idea who it was, if there ever is one. At 2, Maya finds it strange that Atmey is willing to sacrifice his reputation as an "Ace Detective" just to steal the urn. Ignore 3, and press at 4 now, Godot explains that it's not possible that the security camera photo is altered. Return to 3, and Atmey reconfirms that the security camera photo is the very thing the proves that he committed the theft. You begin to wonder if there's something "funny" about the photo. When prompted, select "You bet there is" to proceed. Something doesn't seem to match in the photo, and you'll have to point it out. When given the chance, point at the area with the paint marks - there was something that was supposed to be here, but wasn't. Present the golden statue when when the judge asks when it was - if you remember the information that Andrews provided, she mentioned that the statue was moved into the basement during the day of the crime to hide the paint marks. You also confirm that when you first visited the basement, the statue was also just beside the door. As such, if the security photo was truly taken that night, the statue would've apear in it. Godot objects, and says that when he visited the crime scene the day after the theft, the statue was sitting to the right of the paint marks. You reply that someone must have moved it. When asked to show who moved the statue, show Atmey's profile - he was the only person down at the basement that night. Continue on, and the judge will ask for the reason for the movement of the statue. You explain that Atmey pretended to be DeMasque to create an alibi that he was at Lordly Tailor that night. You then tell him that the photo contains a fatal flaw. When asked to expose this flaw, point to the timestamp on the photo - Atmey has taken the photo days before Kane's murder so as to create an alibi for himself. However, the statue was only moved to the basement on the day of the theft itself. So, when Atmey saw the statue, he had no choice but to move it away to make the room match with the way it was shown in the photo. Atmey then shows the camera data, and aruges that the camera went off once on the night of the theft. You object, however, and explains that even though the camera was set up by Lordly Tailor, the program used to manage the data was provided by Atmey himself. The data could've been easily tampered with. Watch the scenes that follow. Soon, Godot will get Atmey to testify again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: THE SACRED URN HEIST [ PW3518 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I first received the request from Lordly Tailor about 20 days days ago." 2: "The urn was placed in a box, and Zvarri! It was then sent to the warehouse." 3: "Hence, I was actually unable to see the urn for myself until the day of the crime." 4: "I knew it was an extremely valuable treasure, so I sent my card 10 days beforehand." 5: "I then handled security by myself to ensure that my crime would go on smoothly!" 6: "At last, I held the urn in my hands for the first time at 1:00am on October 12th." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE SACRED URN HEIST [ PW3518 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The solution to this one is rather tricky. Click through all the way to 6, and then show Atmey the Demasque's calling card - on the card, the term "speckled urn" was mentioned. The "speckled" here would refer to the pink splotches on the urn. However, these splotches wouldn't even be on the urn if Andrews hasn't tripped and fell over the paint can. She also confirmed earlier that the urn was kept out of sight since her little accident. This means that Atmey wouldn't have known about the "speckles" on the urn... unless he has seen the urn BEFORE sending the calling card. Now, when would that be? Perhaps... when he was taking the fake security photo? Well done, Phoenix! It isn't time for celebrations yet though. Watch the next scenes as Godot demands to know the motive for Atmey's decision to murder Kane. This will eventually lead to Atmey's next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: MOTIVE FOR MURDER [ PW3519 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I, Luke Atmey, had no points of contact with the victim whatsoever." 2: "Kane Bullard decided to investigate Mask*DeMasque and simply mistook who he was!" 3: "It was Mr. Bullard who wrote the blackmail letter and sent it to Ron DeLite." 4: "And it was again Mr. Bullard who harbored a grudge against Mr. DeLite for his betrayal!" 5: "Mr. Bullard's mistake is quite excusable. The defendant truly believes he is Mask*DeMasque!" 6: "That is why Mr. DeLite saw it fit to kill Kane Bullard. Truly a tragedy..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MOTIVE FOR MURDER [ PW3519 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you begin, Godot adds that after a handwriting analysis, it's confirmed that it was indeed Kane who wrote the blackmail letter found at Ron's hideout. This new information will be updated in the records. Anyway, this one is rather easy. At 3, present the blackmail letter - there's one major contradiction in the letter. When asked to point out this contradiction, show them the newspaper clipping - as I mentioned earlier, the Tear of Emanon is BLUE in color. However, the blackmail letter clearly talks about a RED jewel. Surely, the "red diamoned" in the blackmail letter couldn't be the Tear of Emanon. Therefore, the blackmail letter could be intended for someone else. Godot objects again. This time, he challenges you to identify the true receipient of the letter. Show them Atmey's profile again - he managed to "recover" the stolen treasure from DeMasque's fourth heist, and received a jewel as reward. The red diamond ring on his finger, right now! Oh yeah! Watch the next scenes. Godot objects and questions about the next mystery on the blackmail letter. What could be Atmey's "identity" be that it's worth blackmailing for? Think, Phoenix, think! Ron has been receiving blackmail letters from an unknown source. Who could this blackmailer be? Select "a blackmailer" to proceed - clearly, Atmey has been black- mailing Ron since his first heist. Atmey still doesn't give up. Instead, he challenges you to show proof that Atmey knew about Ron's identity since the first heist. Present the newspaper clipping - you'll now recount Ron's testimony about how Atmey found out his secret identity by finding his costume from the trash can. Atmey goes crazy from here. You must've thought that you've finally beaten this case, but no! Godot now wants you to prove that Atmey was actually at KB Security that night - even if he wasn't at Lordly Tailor, there was no proof that he was at the crime scene. When asked to show proof, choose "can't prove it" to proceed. It's unfortunate that you've no proof at the moment to nail Atmey. Worst still, you won't be given another chance to cross-examine Atmey as well. Watch the next scenes as Godot explains the "double jeopardy" rule - should a defendant be tried and found innocent in court, he cannot be tried again for the same crime. Time is running out for you. Continue through the conversation until help finally arrives in the form of Mia, woohoo! Mia brings to the judge attention about a bunch of remarks from Atmey after the cross-examination. You'll need to prove the importance of these remarks. Which means, yeah, you've gotten your chance to cross- examine Atmey one more time. Meanwhile, watch Godot's reaction after he saw Mia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: THE LAST TESTIMONY [ PW3520 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Indeed, it is true that I was not at Lordly Tailor." 2: "I had to leave to see about another vitally important request." 3: "I had known about the date beforehard, so I had this photograph readied." 4: "My brilliant deduction was what informed me that the true culprit was Ron DeLite." 5: "And thanks to the key card and wallter, it was abundantly clear that he was there." 6: "I was also able to make a deduction from the buzzer, which only sounded once." 7: "The button did not have any fingerprints on it... Why?" 8: "The victim would have left prints if he sounded it. Which means the killer sounded it." 9: "Mr. DeLite was wearing his Mask*DeMasque outfit, which is why he left no prints." 10: "And, the blackmail letter? The victim likely just mistook the color of the jewel." 11: "Zvarri! Therefore, all the evidence points to the poor boy!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE LAST TESTIMONY [ PW3520 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Longest. Testimony. Ever. You get only one chance to get this right. Press at a wrong statement, and it's gameover. As Godot downs his 17th cup of coffee, press at 9 - how did Atmey know that Ron went to the CEO's office in the DeMasque costume? This was only revealed during the cross-examination of Ron earlier, and Atmey certainly wouldn't have know it... unless he saw Ron in the costume at the crime scene that night! Click through the scenes that follow as you explain the events on that fateful night. There's still a twist at the end. If Atmey isn't DeMasque, then Ron must be. So, he should be arrested for theft right? Well, you've already proven in court yesterday that he isn't the phantom thief. Remember "double jeopardy"? Yeah, Ron cannot be charged with the same offence twice, so he gets scot-free! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 3:35pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Watch the scenes that follow. There will come a point where you've to encourage Ron. Show him the sacred urn to proceed. You can get this wrong and still win the case though. That's a happy ending for the DeLite couple. So, all is good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE STOLEN TURNABOUT: END ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 6. EPISODE 3: RECIPE FOR TURNABOUT [ PW3601 ] ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND [ PW3602 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A weird intro, this one. The judge passes a guilty verdict for a case that involved a cup of poisoned coffee. The defendant claims that he saw someone else did it. Prosecutor Payne is a happy man, and Phoenix Wright... loses a case? What in the world is happening? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1: INVESTIGATION [ PW3603 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Time: 10:03am Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices It's the new year, but before you could really enjoy the joy of a new beginning, Gumshoe makes his way into the office. He brings you a magazine article that shows the following headline: "Deadly Poisoning Brings Guilty Verdict. Defense Attorney Phoenix Wright trounced." This is from last month's issue of the magazine, but you've absolutely no recollection of getting involved in a poisoning case, let alone being "trounced" in one. Regardless, the magazine clipping will go into the Court Record. It appears that someone out there is impersonating you, albeit rather poorly. Gumshoe asks for your help to help the guilty client with a retrial. With this, you got your first case of the new year. Talk to Maya on the customary "What to do" and "Any ideas". Maya comments that Gumshoe seems rather concerned about the defendant. Maybe it's someone he knows? Time to head to the detention center. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Your client is none other Maggey Byrde. You know, the defendant from "The Lost Turnabout' from Game 2? Now you know why Gumshoe is agitated. He has a crush on her, remember? Anyway, Maggey used to be a police officer, but now she's in some sort of a waitress costume. Talk about "Maggey Byrde". She tells you that she was fired after the incident from last year, and she's now working as a waitress in a French restaurant. Ask "What happened" now. Maggey tells you that the murder occured on 12/3 at the restaurant Tres Bien. She saw two men at a table, both drinking coffee. Note the spiky hair guy in the scene, who slipped poison into the other's cup. As the victim grasped for air, Maggey fainted. Maggey has never seen the victim before, so she should've no motive for murder. However, the testimonies and evidence were all against her. Firstly, no one else saw the killer. That is, all the other people in the restaurant at that time testified that there the victim was alone the whole time. Secondly, they found a bottle of poison in her apron - the killer must've slipped it inside when after she fainted. You can now ask about "The other guy". She says that she served coffee to both men, who looked like they were from the music industry. She also mentions something about a earpiece, and a sample CD on the table that has a band name that starts with the word "MC". Unfortnately, she has no recollection of the killer's look. Show her the magazine clipping now. She tells you that "Phoniex Wright" came to her the day after she was arrested, and offered to defend her. When asked why she couldn't tell that he was a fake, Maggey replies that even though the guy was taller, looked a bit shady, has a weird voice and a funny accent, she believed he was you because he has spiky hair and was wearing a blue suit. Duh! She also tells you that when in court, everyone was puzzled at this "Phoenix Wright", but no one said anything. The hell? You get Tres Bien's location after talking to her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien The restaurant is empty at the moment, so take the opportunity to search the place. At the left area, search the table on the right to confirm that it's the table where the murder occured. It's quite obvious since there's police tape around it. Note also that there's a coffee stain on the table. Check the partition in between the tables to find that the restaurant has partitions set up to separate the dining tables. When seated, you can only see the tables to your left or right. At the right area, examine the magazine rack. Something's stuffed in behind the rack. It's a sports newspaper that has some scribbles on it. It has the number 100,000, but it's crossed out. An arrow is pointing at this number, and it leads to the words "MC Bomber". There's also a bomb drawing to the right, and the words "Ahahaha!" below. Incidentally, the paper was from 12/3, the day of the murder. Sports paper added to your records. Go back to the detention center now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Show Maggey the sports paper, and she'll tell you that Tres Bien doesn't order newspaper. She also remembers that "MC Bomber" is the name of the band on the sample CD she saw. Could 100,000 be the down- payment for a record deal? Perhaps, this paper belonged to the victim? You'll have to return to Tres Bien for more investigation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien An ugly MF (don't ask me what this means) greets you. He's quite possibly the ugliest witness in the entire series. His name is Jean Armstrong, and he seems to know who you're. Apparently, you've "flirted" with him in court. Aargh, damn imposter! Talk to him about "Tres Bien". He tells you that the name of the restaurant means "very good". He also explains that since the arrest of Maggey, he has been running the place on his own. According to him, he's the chef, manager and aromatherapist of the place. Ask "What happened". He tells you that Maggey served coffee to the victim. He was in the kitchen when he heard the sound of someone collapsing. When he came out, the victim was already dead. Maggey has fainted as well. Armstrong also says that the victim was all alone. He then tells you about an old man. Ask about this "Old man". An old man, who was here at that time, said the same thing. This old man is a regular customer at the restaurant. Now, show Maggey's profile to Armstrong. He tells you that it's not surprising that Maggey is a suspect, not after "something" took place right in front of his eyes. He's hinting that Maggey could've a motive afterall. So, ask about "Maggey's motive". This time, he throws THREE Psyche- Locks at you. It's also at this time that you realise that your magatama has gone missing! The fact that you can still see the locks, however, mean that it must be somewhere near you now. Anyway, our friend will tell you the location of the old man. He's at Vitamin Square, a park just behind Tres Bien. GO there then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Vitamin Square You find the old man here. Try talking to him, but he seems rather evasive. Go through all the conversations, and you'll get nothing much out of him. The only point of interest here is that he seems to hate Tres Bien very much, but according to Armstrong, he's a regular at the place. Strange? If you notice, Vitamin Square is full of fruits-based equipment. Look to the right of the old man to find a half-sliced orange seat. Examine it to find some sort of a magazine. Turns out it's actually a job listing brochure. When you add the job listings into your records, the old man tells you that it belongs to him. Ignore him and return to Tres Bien. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien Time to get rid of Maya (heh). Show Armstrong the job listings, and he'll take Maya under his apprenticeship. Go back to the detention centre. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Detention Centre, Visitor's Room Maggey is no longer here. Maybe you should come back later. Go look for Gumshoe at the Criminal Affairs Department then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept. Gumshoe tells you that the retrial has been scheduled for 10:00am tomorrow. You'll have to take on Godot again though. Talk to the detective about "Maggey Byrde" and watch the hilarious scenes that follow. Now, ask about "The victim", and you'll finally get his name. His name is Glen Elg, and he was a computer programmer. Armstrong commented that it was the first time he saw Glen at the restaurant. However, despite Maggey having seemingly nothing to do with Glen, a motive was somehow established. Ask about "The investigation" next. This opens up a topic of "Contradictions" - it's the number of people at the table that cannot be proven. Maggey insists that there was another guy at the table, but no one else saw him. Also, with regards to the sample CD, the police searched the place and simply couldn't find it as well. Maggey did mention about a earpiece earlier. Gumshoe tells you that Glen was actually listening to a portable radio in the front of his hoodie. Which means, there wasn't any CD player on the table too. Show Armstrong's profile to Gumshoe. He replies that there's something about the guy. This opens up a topic of "The charming chef". This time round, the detective seems rather evasive. He talks about "gossipy stuff", but refuses to divuldge any more information. Instead, he asks YOU to go find out what they are. Hey, I thought you want to help Maggey, right? Before you head back to Tres Bien, present the sports paper to Gumshoe. He takes it away from you for a handwriting analysis. Sports paper given to Gumshoe. You can also show the magazine clipping to Gumshoe. He comments that your performance in court sucked so much it seemed like you were deliberately getting a guilty verdict for Maggey. Time to return to Tres Bien. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien A girl with in emo fashon greets you here. Note that she has a bandage on her head. She disappears almost immediately though. Maya greets you soon in a waitress uniform (nice). Talk to her about "Waitress", but the important topic here should be "Lunch special". She brings in the Twin-T set, which costs $20. The food sucks, which is why it must go into your Court Record. The lousy food opens up a topic on "The kitchen". Talk about it, and soon, Maya will invite you into the place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien, Kitchen First things first. Check the table with the green object, and you'll recover your magatama. Stupid Armstrong must've stolen it. Check the bottom left corner of the screen to find a box of small bottles. These are mostly those aromatherapy oils that Armstrong has been using. You'll soon find a bottle that's green color, and has no smell. It's covered with unidentified fingerprints. Small bottle acquired. Go back to Vitamin Sqaure now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Vitamin Square The old man is nowhere in sight, but a pink scooter is sitting right in front of you. Examine it, and you'll notice that it's pretty much wrecked. soon a man with spiky hair will stop you. He's wearing a red shirt with a picture of a tiger biting a dragon. This is actually quite symbolic if you're playing the Japanese version of the game, since Phoenix's Japanese name is Ryuichi, and "Ryu" means "dragon". I'll introduce this dude later, but at the moment, he's giving you hell. He even claims that he's Phoenix Wright. I think you've found your imposter. He soon rides off (the scooter belongs to him), but you'd have added the scooter into your records before he leaves. This is when the old man reappears. If you've spoken to him on all options earlier, "What you saw", "Maggey Byrde" and "Tres Bien" would all be ticked off. Take note about his frequent mentions of the waitress. Try talking about "Tres Bien regular", however, and he'll show you three Psyche-Locks - you couldn't see them earlier because you didn't have the magatama then. Perhaps you should go see Gumshoe now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept. The handwriting analysis is completed, and the doodle on the sports paper is written by Glen. Gumshoe also tells you that the name "MC Bomber" is somewhat familiar, but he can't remember where he'd heard it. Sports paper refiled. Show Gumshoe the small bottle, and he'll suggest to analyse its contents. Small bottle therefore given to Gumshoe for further testing. The conversation shifts to Armstrong next. Gumshoe tells you that he has gotten hold of "Armstrong's secret". Talk about it, and he'll reveal that the restaurant manager/ chef/ aromatherapist is in debt. He shows you a loan contract from Tender Lender, for the amount of half a million! Wow, looks like our dear Armstrong is in the deep end of some brownish substance, man. Jean's Loan Contract added to the records. It's time to break the old man's Psyche-Locks. Go, go, go! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Vitamin Square ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OLD MAN'S PSYCHE-LOCK: TRES BIEN REGULAR [ PW3604 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As usual, show the magatama to initiate the process. When you've to prove that the old man isn't at the restaurant for the food, present the lunch special - the food is so unbelievably bad that it'd be unbelievable if anyone would go there for the food. The tells you that he's rich and has money to burn, so he doesn't mind spending money on the lousy food. You'll need to prove otherwise. Show him the job listings - if he's rich, he wouldn't be looking for a job. One lock crushed. He then tells you that he goes to Tres Bien to read newspapers. To prove that he's lying, show the sports paper - this is the only news- paper in the restaurant, and it was left behind by a customer (Glen). Another lock crushed. Eventually, you'll have to provide the real reason he's a regular at Tres Bien. If you've taken note of what he said earlier about the waitress, this should be pretty easy. Present Maggey's profile - the old man has a fetish for waitress uniforms! All locks crushed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can now talk about "Tres Bien regular". The old man introduces himself as Victor Kudo. However, he isn't in the mood to talk. Maybe you should go back to Tres Bien first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Venue: Tres Bien You can now present Kudo's profile to Maya - she's in a waitress uniform, you see... anyway, you'll automatically be transported to the park after that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Venue: Vitamin Square Kudo doesn't exactly fancy Maya, even with the waitress uniform. As you wonder what could make him crack, Mia takes over. Wow, Mia in waitress uniform! Thanks, Capcom, for making me... I mean, Victor happy. Finally! You can get something out of him. You may want to talk about "What you saw" and "Tres Bien", but the important conversation here is "Tres Bien regular". This is where he tells you that Armstrong is an ex-convict. This opens up a topic on "Armstrong's record" Talk about it, and Kudo reveals that Armstrong steals things from his customers. Hmm, that explains about the magatama incident. He then writes you a note that says: "Convicted before, a wicken man or woman, repeat offendor -- Victor Kudo" It's supposed to be a poem, but... oh well. Victor's note added to the records. Both Victor and Mia leave after this discussion. The time has come to tackle Armstrong's Psyche-Locks. Return to Tres Bien now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Venue: Tres Bien You meet Armstrong again. You know what to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JEAN ARMSTRONG'S PSYCHE-LOCK: MAGGEY'S MOTIVE [ PW3605 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the magatama. Armstrong was so frightened of the process that he immediately tells you that Glen actually had a lottery ticket for half a million dollars. However, after he was murdered, the ticket went missing. This was the motive that the prosecution presented for Maggey's trial. Basically, they're saying that she poisoned Glen so as to get the lottery ticket. You demand to know the reason why he hid this from you earlier. When prompted to point out the real thief for the lottery ticket, present Armstrong's profile. One lock crushed. You'll now have to present evidence to support you claim. Show him Victor's note. He denies Victor's allegations though, and challenges you to show an incontestable proof that he has stolen from his customers. Show him the magatama - you found it in his kitchen, so it's proof enough that he has stolen it from you earlier. Another lock goes bust. Armstrong will now tell you that, yes, it's true that he has pilfered little things, but it's $500,000 you're talking about here. You'll need to prove that he's in need of a large sum of money. Show him the loan contract to end the sequence - a $500,000 winning ticket is enough to wipe off his debt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk about "Maggey's motive" now. Armstrong tells you that Glen was listening to the radio with his earpiece. He thinks that the winning numbers were announced on the news. Suddenly, Glen shouted "Yes! Half a million!" Glen has many tickets on the table. So, Armstrong conveniently helped himself to one of them as Glen laid dead, and Maggey stayed unconscious. Ask about the "Winning ticket" now. He now claims that he didn't take the ticket, but before he could elaborate further, Godot interrupts the proceedings. Godot explains that Armstrong stole the wrong ticket... which won him the paltry sum of $1. So, what happened to the winning ticket? Well, Godot isn't talking. He leaves soon after. Looks like the day has come to an end. You discard Victor's note, and prepare yourself for battle tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2: TRIAL [ PW3606 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 9:48am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Just get the trial started already, Gumshoe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Gumshoe is the first witness today. He submits the autopsy report as evidence. Check the report to confirm that the victim died of poison- ing, and the time of death was between 1:30pm and 2:30pm. He also provides the floor plans of Tres Bien. A rough sketch of this is as follow. Sorry, it's not to scale. -------------- ------- -------------- | | ----- | ----- | ||---| | | Kitchen |( )| |( )|( )| X |(V)| || - | - ----- | ----- | -- - | | | - -| | | || | | ----- | ----- | -| | |( )| |( )|( )| |( )| | | | ----- | ----- | | -------------- ------- --------------- Basic facts of the case: ------------------------ Glen was sitting at "V" when the incident took place. The poisoned coffee was brought over to him by Maggey from the kitchen, and placed on the table at "X". Glen died almost right after he took a sip of the coffee. At the time of the incident, there were two other people in the restaurant - Armstrong and Victor. Tres Bien floor plans acquired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: THE INCIDENT [ PW3607 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When the incident took place, the victim was alone at his table, sir." 2: "We understand that the guy, Glen Elg, was listening to the radio at the time." 3: "Traces of poison were found in his coffee cup." 4: "And what we found was potassium cyanide. That stuff really packs a punch!" 5: "And, um... it looks like Ms. Byrde might've had, well...some kind of a motive." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE INCIDENT [ PW3607 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 1. While the situation doesn't look good, choose to "Press harder". You bring out the point that the victim's table could be obstructed in some way. This is when Godot shows you a photo that was taken from near the entrance of the kitchen. This is the scene as witnessed by Armstrong moments after the poisoning took place. It shows Glen collapsed on the table, while the chair opposite him was empty. However, only half (the right side) the chair was shown, as the other half was obstructed by the partition. Crime photo added to the records. Press at 3. Gumshoe tells you that the poison was a powdery substance. When prompted, choose to "Press harder" as well. You question whether Glen actually drank any of the coffee. Godot objects, and demands that Gumshoe submit the victim's coffee cup as evidence. Godot points your attention to the rim of the cup - it clearly shows a coffee stain on it, which is proof that Glen did drink from the cup. The only finger- prints on the cup were Glen's and Maggey's. Damn, not looking good. Coffee cup acquired. At 5, press for the motive. You know this already, it's about the disappearing winning lottery ticket. Again, "Press harder" when you get the chance to. Now, Godot will show you the winning ticket in question. Well, you guess it. They found it on Maggey. Victim's lottery ticket filed as evidence. If you think things are getting bad, Godot will make them worse by presenting yet another incriminating evidence. This time, he shows you Maggey's apron. It shows some coffee and blood (?) stains. A bottle of Postassium cyanide was also found from the apron's pocket... and only Maggey's prints were on it. Aargh. Note here that Godot doesn't seem to notice that there's "blood" on the apron. This is a decisive evidence for a future case in this game. Apron and Potassium Cyanide added into the books. It'll soon be revealed that the "bloodstain" on the apron is only ketchup, ha ha. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: THE INVESTIGATION [ PW3608 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The crime was reported at 2:25 PM by a kind of scary old man, sir." 2: "Poor Maggey had passed out from the shock. It must've been real tough for her." 3: "The victim didn't have any identification on him." 4: "But we figured out who he was pretty quick, and then the investigation went smoothly." 5: "When Maggey was searched, we found the lottery ticket and the bottle of poison." 6: "And that was it. There was nothing else missing from the crime scene." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE INVESTIGATION [ PW3608 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You need to know how the police figured out Glen's identity, so press 4. Gumshoe replies that there was a presciption bag on Glen's table. It seems that Glen went to the doctor before he went to Tres Bien. The police got his name from the medical records of the doctor who prescribed the medicine. When given the chance, "Ask about the prescription bag". Gumshoe tells you that strangely, the bag was empty. Victim's prescription bag filed as evidence. With this, you can finally point out a contradiction in Gumshoe's testimony. At 6, show him the prescription bag - Glen was given a prescription before going to Tres Bien, but where did the medicine go? Glen was killed by poision, and his medicine mysteriously disappeared. The prescription could've been the poison itself! Godot has a rebuttal for you though. The label on the prescription bag shows that the medicine was prescribed by a certain "New Ear Otolaryngological Clinic". For the un-initiated, "otolaryngological" basically means ear, nose and throat. Or simply, ENT. Godot explains that Glen got into a fight before the incident, and he took a blow to the side of his face. As a result, his eardrum is ruptured. The prescribed medicine, therefore, was merely a topical cream meant for his ear canal, and not an ingestible drug. To add the icing on the cake, Godot also explains that in the very, very fine print of the autopsy report, it was mentioned that traces of the cream was found in Glen's left ears. Things look really bad now. Choose to "Push the medication issue" - I mean, you can't just leave it, can you? You now ask Godot, if Glen did apply the cream, why wasn't the cream found at the crime scene? Watch the cool objection cross-swords as Godot's mask burns again. Regardless, the trial goes on. Gumshoe's tenure is over again though, and Victor is next in line. Before that, however, the judge orders a recess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 11:03am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 That was a close shave. Go through the conversations and then head back to court. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 11:15am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Just click through the usual intro quickly. You've a client to save. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3609 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The young man was reading the sports paper." 2: "The serving girl brought him a javaccino... But she put something in it!" 3: "The man took one sip of it, looked like he was in terrible pain, and then collapsed." 4: "That's the serving girl, right there in the defendant's chair. I remember her well!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3609 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 4. It seems that Victor only remembered anything pertaining to the uniform. When prompted, "Press harder". This leads to an addition to the testimony. 5: "There was a ribbon in her hair, and her apron's straps were loose." Press this statement immediately. You need more information to back up your defense. When given the chance, "Ask about the waitress' back" - notice that the features that Victor mentioned were all related to things that he could see from the waitress' back. Did he actually see her face? This leads to another addition to Victor's testimony. 6: "There wasn't anything that caught my interest about her when I saw her from the front." Aha. Remember Maggey's apron? The one with the ketchup? Show it to Victor. Well, he tells you that he hasn't seen this before. Meaning? He couldn't have seen the waitress from the front! Oh yeah, next! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S TESTIMONY: ABOUT THE VICTIM [ PW3610 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "He was another of those pesky young types, wearing a broken pair of spectacles." 2: "He had a newspaper in his right hand, and the noisy brat kept rustling its pages!" 3: "The young man was listening to the wireless. I remember that well." 4: "Then the serving girl in question brought over the javaccino." 5: "The little fidget picked up the cup with his free hand and took a sip." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: ABOUT THE VICTIM [ PW3610 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is quite easy. Present the coffee cup at 5 - Victor said that Glen was holding the paper with his right hand, which means his "free hand" would be the left. However, if you check the coffee cup, you'd see the following: ------------ | **** <--------- Lips Stain | |=== | | || <- Cup Handle | |=== | | \----------/ ============== Now, the only possible way of leaving a stain at this angle is by holding the cup with the RIGHT hand. If Glen was using his left hand to hold the cup, he'd never be able to leave such a stain. More testimony to follow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S TESTIMONY: LEFT HAND OR RIGHT HAND [ PW3611 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The boy was wearing the earpiece on the same side as the green lens of his specs." 2: "He kept fiddling with it all the time." 3: "He was fiddling with it just before he picked up the cup, too." 4: "And then he used the same hand to pick up the cup. His left hand!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: LEFT HAND OR RIGHT HAND [ PW3611 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch the scenes first, as Godot explains the the "green lens" that Victor mentioned was actually a HMD (some sort of a computer monitor commonly used by programmers). Anyway, at 1, show Victor the prescription bag - Glen has a rupture on his left ear, so it's not possible that he'd wear the earpiece on that ear! More cross-swords with Godot follow. Click through them until Victor gives his final testimony. Love that "infinite ammo code" comment from Phoenix. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S TESTIMONY: THE FINAL SHOWDOWN [ PW3612 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "First of all, I want to stress that this might be nothing. I'm not too sure of myself." 2: "The young boy slumped over the table as soon as he took one sip of his javaccino..." 3: "Well, the clumsy idiot upset the vase! He knocked it right over." 4: "It broke, and the strip of cloth covering the table got completely soaked." 5: "Well?! How about that? Turned things upside-down, hmmm?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE FINAL SHOWDOWN [ PW3612 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Another easy one. Simply present the crime photo at 3 - it clearly shows that the vase was still intact after Glen collapsed. It turns out that the clumsy idiot that knocked over a vase was none other than Victor himself, at his own table. Victor's testimony added to your records. It says: "When the incident occured, I broke the vase at my seat. I'm sorry." Huh? This completes the trial for today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 3: INVESTIGATION [ PW3613 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 12:52pm Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices Talk to Maya on the usual. You'll get the usual hints on what to do next, etc. Also note your impression of your doppelganger. Visit the Criminals Affairs Department now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept. The atmosphere here is rather strange. Everyone seems to be on their edge. You believe that something big is going on here, but there's nothing you can do about it now. Go to the detention center next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Maggey isn't in now. Sigh, the issues with running around headlessly. Ok, make your way to Tres Bien then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tres Bien You'll find Gumshoe here. He's listening to the radio. Amazingly, he's also eating the Twin-T set. Talk to him about "Today's trial" and "Lunch special". Nothing important here, just some intro chit-chats. Now, ask about "The radio" that he was listening to earlier, and... what? He gives you a Psyche-Lock? This one's easy though. Let's do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DICK GUMSHOE'S PSYCHE-LOCK: THE RADIO [ PW3614 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do the usual, and then present the victim's lottery ticket when you guess the relevance of the radio program that he was listening to - he must be listening to the lottery results. Done! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What a waste of Psyche-Locks! Ok, talk about "The radio" now. You'll get a Millionaire Radio Flier into your Court Record as a result. It says: "Experience the most thrilling ten minutes of your life every Monday at 1:30pm!" The next thing to do is to show Glen's profile to Gumshoe. He'll eventually give you the directions to where Glen used to work - Blue Screens, Inc. So, go there now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Blue Screens, Inc. What can I say? This place is blue. Anyway, you'll meet Lisa Basil here, the director of Blue Screens, Inc. Like Glen, she's also wearing a HMD on her left eye. Talk about "Blue Screens, Inc." She tells you that the software that the company produces are distributed in CDs. This could explain the presence of the CD at Tres Bien. Ask "What happened". She shows you Glen desk. You can check it out later, but first, show her Glen's profile. She tells you that Glen suffered from some trouble, but she then quickly changes her tune. Ask about "Glen's troubles", and, you guess it, Psyche-Locks. All three of them. There's still some sleuthing to do here. Firstly, check his desk. You'll find a calendar on it, with 12/3 marked in red pen. The remarks on that day says: "Meet with the Tiger." Hmm. You may remember someone in a shirt with a tiger picture some time earlier... ... but back to the matter at hand, Glen's calender will be filed as evidence. Next, examine the small pieces of paper (green/ brown) on the floor, under Glen's desk. These are all losing horse racing tickets. Looks like Glen is quite the gambler. Glen's losing horse racing tickets acquired. yes, all 500 of them. You should head to the kitchen at Tres Bien now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tres Bien, Kitchen You see the emo girl with the head bandage again. She leaves after threatening Armstrong a little. Wow, fierce. Approach Armstrong and ask him about "The woman just now". He doesn't really want to talk about it, but you're pretty sure what the conversation as all about. So, show him the loan contract. He blurts out something about having no choice but to help "them". Ask about "The woman just now" again. This time, Armstrong will tell you that she's from the loan office, Tender Lender. A new topic on "Tender Lender" appears after this. Talk about it. He tells you about a man known as "The Tiger", who's the manager of Tender Lender. He also mentions something about a scooter. I guess you should know who this guy is by now. He gives you the location of the loan office, so you can go there now. By the way, you can also ask Armstrong about "Tres Bien" before you go, but it isn't really necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tres Bien Gumshoe's leaving for a big meeting. Before he goes, he gives you a lunchbox. Apparently, he made it himself. He asks you to pass it to Maggey. Sob story material, here. Gumshoe's Lunchbox acquired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Vitamin Square You need to go to Tender Lender, and you've to pass by here. There's nothing here, so just head to your destination. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tender Lender The emo girls appears, and disappears swiftly. Take the opportunity to examine the office. Search the jackets that are hanging on the right side of the area. You notice a jacket that looks exactly like yours. You'll also find a fake attorney's badge here. Damn it, Xin Eoph! Paper Badge acquired. Examine the pink CD player on the table. It's a demo CD, and it has "MC Bomber" written on it. This must be the CD that Maggey saw at Tres Bien that day. MC Bomber filed as evidence. Check out the ash tray at the right side of the table, on the floor. You'll find a packet of matches that's from Tres Bien. Tres Bien Matches added to the records. Once all the three evidences are found, "The Tiger" returns. The emo girl calls him Don Tigre (in true Godfather style), but his name is actually Furio Tigre. After some exchanges, he basically admits that he's your imposter. He leaves soon after, but the emo girl stays behind. NOTE: Now you know why his shirt is symbolic - a tiger bitng a dragon = Tigre defeating Ryuichi. Her name is Violetta. You can talk to her about "Tender Lender" and "What happened". It seems that she knows something about it. In fact, I suspect that she's the waitress that Victor saw... but that's just my guess. You'll now get Tigre's profile (automatically added to the "profiles" tab). Show it to Violetta. She tells you that they're lovers (?), and he has saved her life before. This opens a topic on "Saved your life?". You won't really find out what happened, except that Tigre "gave up everything for her" when the doctors told her to "abandon all hope". The above leads to a new conversation selection for "The head bandage". Talk about it. She tells you that she puts on the bandage after an operation following a fatal injury. When you attempt to find out more, however, and she'll show you four Psyche-Locks. Before you go, examine the bookshelf. You'll find a piece of repair bill here. It shows that Tigre spent $15,000 to replace a bumper and a light on a car that belongs to "The Cadaverinis". More about them later. Repair bill acquired. Go to the Vitamin Square now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Vitamin Square Victor returns to feed the pigeons. Talk to him about "Today's trial", and he insists that he saw the waitress put some white powder into the coffee. He also insists that the Glen's earpiece is on his "HMD side". Hmm, maybe there's some truth to his claims. Talk about "Embroiderer". He starts talking nonsense again. When given the chance to stop him, don't. Instead, choose to "Suck it up", and he'll eventually reveal that he was asked to run an errand at Tres Bien on the day of the murder. Ask about this "errand". Victor tells you that upon discovering Glen's body, Armstrong shouted at him to call the police. He doesn't carry a cell phone, so he went out looking for a pay phone. It took him about five minutes before finding one and returning to the restaurant. Meaning? There's an unaccounted time of five minutes before the police arrived. Did Armstrong send Victor out for a purpose? Go to Tres Bien's kitchen now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tres Bien, Kitchen You recount the suspicious points now. Jean isn't around though, so head to the detention center for Maggey then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Maggey is here again. She tells you that the testimonies in court today don''t add up. Ask about "Contradiction", and she'll tell you about the discrepancy of who actually slipped the poison into the coffee. She saw the other guy did it, but Victor saw a waitress did it. There's also the thing about the missing CD. Talk to her about "After the incident". This further strengthen your suspicions on Armstrong's involvement in the case. You can show her Gumshoe's lunchbox now. She doesn't accept it though, so Maya and you finished it up. Yummy. Now, show her Victor's testimony or Victor's profile. She tells you that it's strange that Victor was even testifying today. There was indeed another customer in Tres Bien that day when she served the coffee, but it was a creepy woman. Violetta? You should go find Gumshoe at the Criminal Affairs Department next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept. It looks like a virus is sweeping the precinct's computer system. Ignore that for now though, and talk to Gumshoe about "Tender Lender". His assessment of Tender Lender isn't very good, but he reveals that the loan company ran into some trouble recently. He also mentions about a "lady" that you shouldn't be upsetting. I think you should know who this lady is. Show Gumshoe Violetta's profile. He'll reveal her full name - Viola Cadaverini. She's the only granddaughter of Bruto Cadaverini, the boss of the Cadaverini family. Wow, sounds like we're really having some Godfather moments here. You can now ask about "The Cadaverinis". They're basically a bunch of criminals with so much money that even the police find it hard to break them. It's not surprising, therefore, that they're also control- ing Tender Lender. You should now ask about "Computer viruses". This opens up a topic on "What's a virus?" (duh!). Talk about it as you explain the nature of a computer virus to the two goons (that's Gumshoe and Maya). Gumshoe then mentions something about the name of the virus that the police are getting now. But now, it's pretty obvious that the "sample CD" that Maggey saw isn't exactly a musical CD. Present MC Bomber to Gumshoe, and he'll confirm that it's indeed the virus that's attacking the precinct's computer right now. A topic on "MC Bomber" appears. Talk about it, and Gumshoe reveals that the name of the virus has been circulating for quite some time. In fact, someone actually used it to demand a ransom from the police force earlier. Eventually, someone put the program up on the black market, and the consequences are quite detrimental. The new informtation about MC Bomber will be appended in your records. As this discussion is coming to an end, Gumshoe suddenly remembers about his lunchbox. Just go through the conversation to get another lunchbox from him. You now have all the ingredients to break Lisa's Psyche-Locks (you still remember her, don't you?). Go to Blue Screens now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Blue Screens, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LISA BASIL'S PSYCHE-LOCK: GLEN'S TROUBLES [ PW3615 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the magatama to initiate the lock-breaking sequence. When asked to point out Glen's troubles, present the losing horse racing tickets. Yeah, all 500 of them. These are not enough to break Lisa. When asked to further prove Glen's obsession is gambling, show her the lottery ticket - continuously losing money in betting could've cause Glen to attempt something seriously bad. One lock crushed. Continue on, and you'll have to point out Glen's real problem. Present Glen's calendar to proceed. Glen must've loaned some money from Tigre, and 12/ 3 was the date that he was to meet up with the money lender to discuss his debts. Lisa denies any knowledge of Tigre. During the next prompt, show her Tigre's profile. Another lock crushed. She'll finally tell you something concrete. Apparently, Glen has incurred a debt of about $100,000 at Tender Lender. Of course, he eventually won the lottery, but even if he didn't, he must've a plan to find the money he needed. Perhaps, he was thinking of using his talents as a programmer to write a program for this purpose? When asked to reveal the identity of this program, present MC Bomber. All locks crushed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow, that was a long one. Nevertheless, you're rewarded with the "Glen's troubles" conversation. Talk about it. Lisa tells you about some risky business that Glen was getting involved with before he died. Ask about the "Risky extra work". She confirms that Glen was the writer of MC Bomber. She also says that the program would fetch a few million dollars on the black market. 12/3 was supposed to be the date that Glen "repaid his debts". The new information about MC Bomber will be updated in the books. Meanwhile, the horse racing tickets are discarded. Ok, time to break the four locks at Tender Lender. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tender Lender ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VIOLA CADAVERINI'S PSYCHE-LOCK: THE HEAD BANDAGE [ PW3616 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As usual, show Viola the magatama to begin. When you've to relate her injury with an evidence, show the repair bill - a car owned by the Cadaverinis being involved in an accident? You got it. Viola now challenges you to prove the relevance of this information. Present Bruto Cadaverini's profile - Viola is the mafia's boss grand- daugther. One lock crushed. Viola finally talks... a little. She tells you that the accident happened about four months ago. She collided with a motorcycle while driving one of her family cars. The person riding the bike drove off later, but you've a rough idea about who he is. Show Tigre's profile when asked to identify this person. Second lock crushed. Perhaps Viola isn't sure, but with the second lock that broke, it's obvious that she suspected Tigre as well. When asked to show proof that Tigre was recently involved in an accident, present his scooter - it was all wrecked up the last time you saw it, remember? This breaks the third lock. You're close. You continue your attack on Viola...'s remaining lock. Eventually, you've to tell her why Tigre decided to foot the bill for her operation. Show Bruto Cadaverini's profile again - can he NOT pay? I mean, she's the granddaughter of a mafia boss, you know. It's all over for Viola as the final lock vanishes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, "The head bandage". Viola reveals that the operation cost a million dollars. This leads to a topic on "Compensation". Surely, this has got something to do with Glen's poisoning. Talk about this "Compensation". Watch the scenes now as Viola reveals that Tigre did something "evil" to get the money for the operation. She also tells you that because she believed in him, she helped him in the event. The truth is out there. She'll eventually give you her medical papers. Yeah, the bill was indeed one million dollars. Poor Viola. Viola's medical papers filed as evidence, and repair bill discarded. Return to Tres Bien now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Location: Tres Bien You'll meet Armstrong again, but this time, he's accompanied by Tigre. Watch through the next scenes as both of them attempted to rob you of Viola's medical papers. Gumshoe comes to your rescue, and indirectly buys himself a lifeline with Maggey. Click through the rest of the scenes until the day finally ends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-1: TRIAL [ PW3617 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 9:46am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Gumshoe returns the small bottle that you found at the Tres Bien kitchen to you. The analysis is out, and it says that the contents in the bottle is the topical medication for Glen's ears. Hmm... what was it doing in the kitchen? He has nothing on the fingerprints yet though. Small bottle returned to the evidence list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Your first witness today is Armstrong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S TESTIMONY: AT TRES BIEN [ PW3618 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When it all 'appened, z'ere were just two customers in my restaurant." 2: "I remember I was experimenting w'iz some new art deco z'at day." 3: "Like 'aving a large mirror between la tables, for example." 4: "Oui! Per'aps z'at is what la old man was looking at." 5: "La cup, la earpiece and la glasses... 'E would 'ave seen everyz'ing in reverse, non?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AT TRES BIEN [ PW3618 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The mirror statement causes some commotion. At 5, present Glen's profile - if Victor was to see everything from a mirror's reflection, the HMD and the earpiece would actually appear on the Glen's RIGHT side, but he was adamant that he saw them on the LEFT. Godot isn't convinced, and he uses Victor's muddle-headedness as a form of rebuttal. Never mind, just go with the flow until Armstrong's next testimony. This testimony will refer heavily to the Tres Bien's floor plans, so expect some ugly ASCII drawings again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S TESTIMONY: THE MIRROR [ PW3619 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Alors. Is everyone sitting comfortably?" 2: "La mirror, it was in z'e middle of la restaurant, dividing z'e two 'alves." -------------- ------- -------------- | | ----- | ----- | ||---| | | Kitchen |( )| |( )|( )| X |(V)| || - | - ----- | ----- | -- - | | | - ==M I R R O R== -| | | || | | ----- | ----- | -| | |( )| |( )|( )| |( )| | | | ----- | ----- | | -------------- ------- --------------- 3: "Z'ere is only one seat from which you could 'ave seen an image of la victim." -------------- ------- -------------- | | ----- | ----- | ||---| | | Kitchen |(W)| |( )|( )| X |(V)| || - | - ----- | ----- | -- - | | | - ==M I R R O R== -| | | || | | ----- | ----- | -| | |( )| |( )|( )| |( )| | | | ----- | ----- | | -------------- ------- --------------- NOTE: Location "W" is where Armstrong is referring to in this statement. 4: "Z'at was la seat at z'e table next to la victim's. Z'at was where la old man was sitting." 5: "After la terrible incident occurred, I moved la mirror so it was not in z'e way." 6: "But naturally, I did not touch anything else!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE MIRROR [ PW3619 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At 6, present the crime photo - if Armstrong's testimony is true, then the photo clearly shows something that's not supposed to be there. When asked to point out this object, point to the vase on the left of the photo. Why so? Present Victor's testimony - he broke the vase at his seat, remember? If Victor was sitting at "W", then surely the vase shouldn't appear in the crime photo, because it was broken immediately after Glen was poisoned. Which means, Victor couldn't be sitting at "W" at all. Now, if "W" wasn't the only place that could see Glen's table, the only conclusion you could draw is that there was no mirror at Tres Bien that day. You'll now have to explain the reason behind all the contradictions in Victor's testimony. Select "The victim was a phony" to proceed - the "victim" that Victor saw that day wasn't Glen at all. It was an imposter! Someone played the role of Glen, and acted out the coffee poisoning scene so as to create a witness out of Victor. Which means... the-waitress-poisoning-the-coffee scene is also a set-up. Yeah, I was right. It must be Viola... but we'll come to that later. Next testimony, go! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S TESTIMONY: IN THE RESTAURANT [ PW3620 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "La victim, Monsieur Elg, 'e came to my restaurant alone." 2: "I remember la old man arrived not long after 'im." 3: "Z'ere were no other customers." 4: "When 'e got word 'e won la lottery, Mon. Elg became very excited." 5: "It was approximately 5 minutes later z'at la poisoning incident occurred." 6: "Non, z'ere was no time for a phony to do la acting." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: IN THE RESTAURANT [ PW3620 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 2, and then ask "What time was it?" This leads to a revision to the testimony. 7: "I remember la old man arrived not long after 'im, just after 2:00pm." This would be easy if you've been paying attention to the evidence. Present the millionaire radio flier immediately - the lottery results were announced at 1:30pm, which means that if Glen indeed let out a "shout of joy" at his lottery win, it'd have been pretty much closer to that time, instead of after 2:00pm. Conclusion? The "victim" that Victor saw was a fake, acting out the poisoning 30 minutes after the real murder. Click through the scenes as you explain the tale of two Glen Elgs. Eventually, you'll have to answer a series of questions. Firstly, for the location of the real Glen, select "Inside Tres Bien". Next, for the exact location, point to the kitchen on the floor plans. As for the evidence that proves that the body was indeed hidden in the kitchen, it's the small bottle - this was Glen's ear medication, and it was found in the kitchen. When the body was moved into the kitchen, the bottle must have fallen out from Glen's pocket. Armstrong finally breaks down. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S TESTIMONY: THE CONFESSION [ PW3621 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "It is true, I 'id la body in la kitchen." 2: "A man forced me to do it. I 'ad no choice." 3: "I 'ad to go along w'iz 'im because... Z'ere was a reason why I could not refuse." 4: "But I did not kill 'im! I swear it! You must believe me!" Armstrong also finally admits that when Glen was poisoned, there was indeed another person at the table. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ARMSTRONG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE CONFESSION [ PW3621 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present Tigre's profile at 2 - he must be the man who forced Armstrong to hide the body. As for the reason why Armstrong has no choice, present the loan contract. Armstrong now explains the events leading to the murder. Click through the scenes, and the judge demand that Godot summons Tigre in as a witness. Godot promises to get Tigre here in 30 minutes. Recess! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-2: TRIAL [ PW3622 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 1:21pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Go through the scenes as usual until you decide to get Gumshoe to run a little errand for you. Show him the small bottle so that he could bring it for a fingerprint analysis. Small bottle given to Gumshoe, again. Back to court for the final showdown now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 1:56pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Phoenix vs Xin Eoph, fight! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S TESTIMONY: THE TIGER'S ALIBI [ PW3623 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I don't know nothin' about no murder." 2: "I was tied up with business in December last year. Spent all'a my time in my office." 3: "I got whales lined up to borrow cash from Tender Lender every single day." 4: "Youse wanna check my alibi, just ask Violetta." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE TIGER'S ALIBI [ PW3623 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The judge imposes a penalty system here, but if you're following this walkthrough, you shouldn't even bother with it. Anyway, press at 2. Continue on with the scenes, and you'll get a chance to "Press harder". Do so. You ask about his whereabouts on 12/3. This leads to an addition to his testimony. 5: "The day youse talkin' about I was in de office, too. I never saw that kid before." Easy, no? Show him Glen's calendar - Glen has an appointment with him on 12/3 itself. Commotion and the likes, and then we'll hit Tigre's next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S TESTIMONY: THE VICTIM, GLEN ELG [ PW3624 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I ain't no liar. I never met Glen Elg." 2: "There was some lame guy with that name, though. Wanted to borrow cash from me." 3: "I set up a meetin' with the guy... at my office, Tender Lender." 4: "I waited around for him, but he ain't ever showed." 5: "I ain't never been to that Tres Bien joint, youse hear?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE VICTIM, GLEN ELG [ PW3624 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At 5, present Tres Bien matches - you found them at Tender Lender. Nuff said. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S TESTIMONY: AT TRES BIEN [ PW3625 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I was supposed to meet wid the kid at restaurant that afternoon." 2: "When I opened the door to the joint, I saw one ugly scene." 3: "The guy was laid out over the table, stiff as concrete." 4: "I figured if the place wasn't hot already, it was gonna be, so I split." 5: "I heard the cop's sirens on my way out, and I went straight back to my office. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AT TRES BIEN [ PW3625 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the Tres Bien floor plans at 3 - if Tigre was indeed at the door (see location "T"), he wouldn't be able to see Glen's body at all because the view is blocked by a partition. -------------- ------- -------------- | | ----- | ----- | ||---| | | Kitchen |( )| |( )|( )| X |(V)| || <-- T (field of | - ----- | ----- | -- - vision | | blocked) | - -| | | || | | ----- | ----- | -| | |( )| |( )|( )| |( )| | | | ----- | ----- | | -------------- ------- --------------- You'll soon have to reveal the identity of the real murderer. Present Tigre's profile to proceed - it could only be him, really. As for the waitress that Victor saw, you know, the one who put powder into the coffee? Present Viola's profile to proceed - I'm glad that I was right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S TESTIMONY: TIES TO THE VICTIM [ PW3626 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Yeah, I loaned Elg cash. About $100,000." 2: "That day, we was due to have a little chat. The kid had hit his payback date, see?" 3: "So anyway, he tells me he's got no way to pay up." 4: "I'm about to flatten the guy, when he starts screamin'." 5: "Yesss! I won! Half a million bucks!" He got lucky, you' know. Real lucky." 6: "If that waitress hadn't done what she done, everythin' woulda been over." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TIGRE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: TIES TO THE VICTIM [ PW3626 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In this cross-examination, you'll have to establish a motive for the murder. Glen won the lottery, and would've no problems returning the money to Tigre. So, why would he kill? Press at 6 for more information. When given the chance, "Ask how things would've been". This leads to an addition to the testimony - the most decisive one in this entire case, by the way. 7: "I was after the $100,000. I didn't have no other reason to kill the guy!" Present MC Bomber at this statement - Tigre wasn't after the $100,000. He was after the virus program, which could fetch several million dollars in the black market. You'll face a series of questions next. Firstly, why would Tigre need a million dollars? Present Viola's medical papers - it's to "compensate" the Cadaverinis for hitting Viola. With Glen winning the lottery, Tigre lost a legitimate way to get hold of the CD. so, he has no choice but to poison Glen. Watch as you explain Tigre's plans in full. It's pretty much self- explanatory. Soon, you'll have to explain the trick that Tigre performed to ensure that Maggey is convicted. Present the paper badge to proceed - he took your role, and did his best in court to make sure that he lost the case. You'll still need a decisive evidence to nail Tigre, and it comes in the form of Gumshoe... and the small bottle! Heroic cut-scene as the detective returns with the decisive proof to save the princess! The judge grants a recess for you to prepare this final proof. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 2:48pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 The fingerprint analysis is out! Tigre's prints are all over the bottle, but you comment that they can't prove anything, since the bottle contains only medication for Glen's ears. Still, the small bottle is returned to the court records. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 3:04pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Go through the conversations quickly, and the judge will soon ask you to present this decisive evidence. Show him the small bottle anyway, even though you know it can't prove anything - everyone in court knows what the bottle contains. Everyone, except Tigre - he wasn't in court when the contents in the bottle was established. You're basically calling a bluff here. Tell Tigre that the bottle contains "potassium cyanide". Tigre sees through your bluff though... and then stupidly tells you that the bottle containing the cyanide was brown and made of glass - information that only the real killer would've known! Finally, yeah! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/8 Time: 4:10pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Go through the scenes as usual. When asked to give Maggey a little present to celebrate her freedom, present Gumshoe's lunchbox. And she gobbles it down. The lunchbox finally sows a seed of love. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RECIPE FOR TURNABOUT: END ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 7. EPISODE 4: TURNABOUT BEGINNINGS [ PW3701 ] ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND [ PW3702 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The case begins with a showdown on a bridge. A man is taking a girl hostage, while a policewoman fires a shot. A figure fell into the waters below. Pan to the current. You're reading about Mia's first case. The file talks about the murder of a certain Sergeant Valerie Hawthorne, by a fugitive name Terry Fawles. Fawles was Mia's first client, and, if you remember from the first case of this game, she hinted that she lost that trial. In this episode, you'll return to six years ago for Mia's first ever adventure as a defense attorney. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1-1: TRIAL [ PW3703 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/16 Time: 9:24am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Talk to Fawles to get more information to the case. Fawles was on death row, but he escaped from custody two days ago. He's now arrested for the murder of Valerie, a police officer. Fawles also tells you that a woman lied in her testimony in his previous trial five years ago, which was why he was given the death penalty. As you continue to talk to him, a familiar figure appears to encourage you. He's Diego Armando - if you remember from the earlier case, he's your "boyfriend". Now, you finally get the true identity of Godot. :) Diego tells you that the prosecutor for today is a rookie as well, even though he has a reputation as a genius. Take a guess at who's that if you want... but my guess is obviously Miles Edgeworth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/16 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Ah, a different judge. This is the one from the Luke Atmey case, in which Phoenix interrupted the proceedings to file a murder trial request. Edgeworth summarizes the case now. Fawles was sentenced to death five years ago for kidnapping, extortion and murder. Apparently, he threw a 14-year-old girl off a bridge. The case was eventually decided by a witness's testimony, and this person was none other than Valeria, the police officer who contronted Fawles. The motive is pretty strong in this one, then. Go through the rest of conversations until the first witness takes the stands. As you may've expected, it's Detective Gumshoe again. Gumshoe begins to summarize the events now. Check the autopsy report to find that Valerie was stabbed with a knife in the back. She died from a blood loss between 4:00pm to 5:00pm. The detective then shows a sketch of Dusky Bridge, which resides above the Eagle River. Valerie and Fawles met on top of the bridge. After stabbing her, he carried her body back to his car. He was eventually recaptured at a police checkpoint as he was trying to get away. No traces of Valerie's blood was found on the bridge, presumably because she was wearing a thick coat. Dusky Bridge map filed as evidence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: SUMMARY OF THE INCIDENT [ PW3704 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "On the day of the incident, an unknown person phoned the sergeant and asked to meet." 2: "Sergeant Hawthorne went to Dusky Bridge at the designated time and met with Mr. Fawles." 3: "And that's where she was brutally murdered, sir." 4: "The criminal stuffed her body into his car trunk and tried to make a getaway." 5: "Mr. Fawles was arrested at a police checkpoint we set up at the base of the mountain." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: SUMMARY OF THE INCIDENT [ PW3704 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 1, and Gumshoe will tell you that said unknown person was Fawles. He then reveals that Valerie left a note about the phone call. Victim's Note added to the Court Record. Check the note now. It says: "February 14/ 1:21pm. Fawles. 4:30pm @ "that" bridge. Wear white scarf for identification. *Talk to Dahlia. Tell her this time the whole truth must come out." Yes, Dahlia. Press at 4 now. Gumshoe explains that Fawles stole the car. He also shows a photo of the stolen car's trunk. Valerie's body is shown in the trunk. You can't really tell from the photo, but the knife was stuck in her back firmly. Crime Photo filed as evidence. The above leads to an addition to Gumshoe's testimony. 6: "Here's a photo of the trunk. But I don't see anything strange, do you? Anyway..." Present the victim's note here - in the note, Valerie mentioned about wearing a white scarf for identification. However, in the crime photo, her body doesn't show signs of any scarf. Where did the scarf go? Edgeworth then casually presents the scarf, which is now covered in mud. He mentions that he found it as Dusky Bridge, before the police even conducted their search at the area. Note that the scarf isn't exactly white. Scarf added to the records. Next testimony, please. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: EVENTS ON DUSKY BRIDGE [ PW3705 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Actually, there's an eyewitness who was there when the incident took place." 2: "This photo was accidentally taken by the witness. It shows her wearing the scarf, sir." 3: "It was drizzling that day; unfortunately, it's a little hard to see what's going on." 4: "Anyway, the criminal shoved the victim down from behind and stabbed her in the back." 5- "...That must have been when the scarf fell off." Witness's photo added to the records. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: EVENTS ON DUSKY BRIDGE [ PW3705 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is easy. Present the crime photo at 4 - if Fawles really did push Valerie from behind, then something isn't right with the photo. When asked to point out this contradiction, point to Valerie's coat in the photo - if Valerie really did fall on her front on top of the bridge, then her coat would've been covered in mud. However, in the crime photo, her coat is clean. You'll now need to prove that the surface of the bridge was indeed muddy. Present the scarf - if the scarf fell onto the bridge and became muddy, the bridge must've been covered in mud. Continue on with the cross-fire until you get to identify the false evidence in this case. Choose "witness's testimony" to proceed. Watch now as you explain the contradiction in the witness's testimony. You'll now request to cross-examine this witness. The witness identifies herself as Melissa Foster, but hey! Isn't she Dahlia Hawthorne? See? I told you that you haven't seen the last of her yet, didn't I? I can almost be sure that she's the murderer in this case now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MELISSA'S TESTIMONY: THE WITNESS'S PHOTOGRAPH [ PW3706 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I... I was using my camera to take some pictures of wild flowers." 2: "Then, I noticed there were two people standing up on the suspension bridge." 3: "Suddenly, they just started fighting!" 4: "That's when I hurried and took the photo that shows the crucial moment." 5: "And right after that, I called the police." The judge also asks where Melissa was when she took the photo. Refer to the crudely drawn ASCII diagram below for reference - she claims that she's standing at the location "M". CAR ------------------------------------ | | | | | | | | | | | | \ \ | | | <-- Bridge ------------------------------------ ####### || ######## || ##BUSHES## ------ \ ########## / ------ \ ###########- / \ \ ------------- / / / / ############# / / ############## / / ###BUSHES#### / / ########## CLIFF | ######## / | | --------- M | | | | | | | | Also, Melissa's camera filed as evidence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MELISSA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE WITNESS'S PHOTOGRAPH [ PW3706 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the witness's photo at 4 - the photo merely shows two people facing each other on the bridge, and isn't exactly a "crucial moment", is it? Melissa replies that she ran out of film after taking the photo. This leads to the addition of new statements. 6: "The victim turned around and tried to run away, but..." 7: "She only got about 10 yards before she was stabbed in the back." Present the Dusky Bridge map at 6 - from the map, you can see clearly that the side of the bridge directly behind Valerie is collapsed. If she were to turn and run, she wouldn't even make five yards, let alone 10! Edgeworth then objects and says that the map is a current blueprint of the bridge. However, even though it's currently in disrepair, there's no evidence to prove that it was broken during the incident. Wow, he's good. Next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MELISSA'S TESTIMONY: RUNNING FROM THE CRIME [ PW3707 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "After he stabbed her in the back, he quickly picked her up in his arms." 2: "Then he carried her over to the car." 3: "I suppose that was the only way he could make sure the body stayed hidden." 4: "He couldn't just leave the body on top of the bridge." 5: "Oh, I'm sorry... I'm only supposed to talk about what I saw." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MELISSA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: RUNNING FROM THE CRIME [ PW3707 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the Dusky Bridge map at 3 - there was a much easier way to make sure that the body wasn't found. In the kidnapping case from five years ago, the victim's body was carried away by the strong currents of Eagle River, and was never found. So, if Fawles had to hide Valerie's body, why wouldn't he just toss the body into the river? More objections, and Edgeworth reminds you that the body was indeed found in the trunk of the car. So, what gives? Anyway, after all the hoo-hah, Melissa will add the following statement to her testimony. 6: "The killer broke into the trunk of the stolen car and hid the body in there." Present the Dusky Bridge map again here - refer to the ASCII drawing for more details. CAR ------------------------------------ | | | | | | | | | | | | \ \ | | | <-- Bridge ------------------------------------ ####### || ######## || ##BUSHES## ------ \ ########## / ------ \ ###########- / \ \ ------------- / / / / ############# / / ############## / / ###BUSHES#### / / ########## CLIFF | ######## / | | --------- M | | | | | | | | If Melissa was indeed at "M", she wouldn't be able to see the car at all, since an outcropping of rock is directly in the way! You'll also bring to Edgeworth's and Melissa's attention that the witness's photo itself clearly shows a CLIFF to the left of the picture. As such, Melissa's field of vision would've been completely cut-off. A series of questions greet you as this portion of the trial draws to a close. Watch the next scenes as Melissa explains about how she was certain that Fawles broke into the trunk. She points to the scratch marks around the keyhole of the trunk as support. When prompted, tell the court that what Melissa suggests "doesn't work" - Melissa claims she was taking photos in the fields, but yet she knew about the scratch marks. When did she get a chance to see those scratch marks? When given the chance to explain how Melissa saw the scratches, select "She put the corpse in herself" to proceed. Indeed, if Fawles was the person who put the body into the trunk, he wouldn't need to break it since he has the CAR KEY. Edgeworth objects, and asks you to explain how could Melissa be putting in the body at the car when she was actually taking photographs at the fields beyond the cliff. Well, you explain that the shutter for the witness's photograph may not have been pushed by Melissa herself. Present the camera to back up your point - it has a timer function, and it's fixed onto a tripod. Next, you'll have to show the court where Melissa was at the time of the crime. Point to the location "V" to proceed: CAR ------------------------------------ | | | | | | | | | |K|V| \ \ | | | <-- Bridge ------------------------------------ ####### || ######## || ##BUSHES## ------ \ ########## / ------ \ ###########- / \ \ ------------- / / / / ############# / / ############## / / ###BUSHES#### / / ########## CLIFF | ######## / | | --------- | | | | | | | | Melissa was on the bridge, dressed as Valerie. Watch now as you explain how this could happen. Your basic premise is that the body must've been placed inside the trunk before the defedant met the "victim". Meaning, by the time the witness's photo was taken, Valerie was already dead. Melissa then took the role of Valerie, and met up with Fawles. Edgeworth argues that Fawles knew Valerie, and wouldn't mistook Melissa for her. Present the victim's note now - Fawles had forgotten how Valerie looked like, which was why he asked her to come with a scarf for identification. Melissa collapses, and the judge calls for a recess. So far, so good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1-2: TRIAL [ PW3708 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/16 Time: 1:14am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Diego tells you that you'll need to establish a motive for Melissa's crime. He feels that it could be related to the kidnapping case from five years ago. Fawles decides to tell you more about it. According to him, the bridge has been broken (collapsed on one side) for at least five years. He admits that he did kidnap his girlfriend, Dahlia Hawthorne - yes, Dahlia is Valerie's younger sister. Flashback to the intro confrontation at the bridge. Valerie was at the scene, trying to save her little sister from the clutches of Fawles. This was when Fawles tells you that the kidnapping was staged by all three of them - him, Dahlia... and Valerie. The plan was mooted to get a jewel from the Hawthorne's family jewelry business. Said jewel was a two million dollars diamond. The exchange was to be done at Dusky Bridge, and Valerie was tasked to do the exchange. The money was to be splitted three ways, but Valerie shot at them for real. During the exchanges, Fawles was hurt in one arm, while Dahlia jumped into the river... presumably on purpose. The rest was history. Valerie testified against Fawles, and the death sentenced was passed. Diego will now ask about the diamond. Fawles replies that Dahlia put the diamond in her backpack on that fateful day, and with her jumping into the river, the diamond could be gone forever. But of course, we all know that she's still alive. Diamond added to the Court Record. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/16 Time: 1:49am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Remember, you key objective here is to establish a motive for Melissa to kill Valerie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MELISSA'S TESTIMONY: MELISSA FOSTER'S HISTORY [ PW3709 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I... I was out of the country until the year before last." 2: "Until I entered college, I had never even been to Eagle Mountain before..." 3: "And I certainly don't have any reason for wanting to hurt a police officer." 4: "Holding a grudge and killing the officer who testified against you 5 years ago..." 5: "Or kidnapping a poor girl... I just think the defendant is a terrible, horrible monster!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MELISSA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MELISSA FOSTER'S HISTORY [ PW3709 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 4. Continue with the discussions until you're given a choice to "Press harder". Melissa is thankful that she wasn't wearing a white scarf that day, or Fawles could've killed her. At this point, choose to have this last statement "added to the testimony". Which is promptly done: 6: "I guess I'm lucky I wasn't wearing a white scarf." Present the scarf here - you point to the scarf in the witness's photo, and questions Melissa's knowledge of the details of the color of the scarf. The scarf found at the crime scene isn't even white at all! So, what could be the reason that made Melissa thinks that the scarf is white? Present the victim's note - she must've seen the victim's note to have know the color of the scarf that Fawles mentioned. At the time of the murder, the number of people that knew about this note was limited. Fawles and Valerie obviously knew, but who's the third person that knew? Present Dahlia's (not Melissa, ok) profile - on the note, the name "Dahlia" was specifically mentioned. Watch the following scenes as you reveal that Melissa and Dahlia are all but the same person. You'll soon be asked to explain Dahlia's motive for killing her own sister. Present the victim's note again - in the note, Valerie was threatening Dahlia that she was going to reveal the secret between the sisters. The motive for killing Valerie is therefore to keep her mouth permanently shut. Just continue on from here until you get Dahlia's last testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: FIVE YEARS AGO [ PW3710 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Five years ago, I was kidnapped by Mr. Fawles." 2: "The ransom price was a raw diamond. My sister, Valerie. brought it to the bridge..." 3: "After she made the exchange, she shot Mr. Fawles in the arm!" 4: "That's when Mr. Fawles tried to kill me by shoving me off the bridge from behind!" 5: "I survived, but I was afraid I might be kidnapped again for my family's money..." 6: "So I decided to change my identity and start a new life..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: FIVE YEARS AGO [ PW3710 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Show the Dusky Bridge map at 4 - time to use the ugly drawing again. There was something that I was lazy to draw earlier, but it's in now. Underneath the collapsed side of the bridge is a land of bedrock. CAR ------------------------------------ | | | | | | | | | |K| -> V \ \ | | | <-- Bridge ------------------------------------ ####### || | | ######## || | | ##BUSHES## ------ \ | V ########## / ------ \ | ###########- / \ \ | BEDROCK ------------- / / | / / | ############# / / | ############## / / | ###BUSHES#### / / | ########## CLIFF | | ######## / | | | --------- | | | | | | | | If Dahlia was indeed pushed off the bridge from the behind, she'd have been smashed by landing straight on the bedrock = certain death! Edgeworth throws in another objection now, and suggests that Fawles could've push Dahlia into the river off the side of the bridge. You point out that, however, this is impossible. Present the witness's photo to support your argument - look at the wires supporting the bridge. They start at about the height of a person's waist (ie. some- what high), so it'd be impossible to push someone off there. you'll finally get the chance to suggest that Dahlia jumped into the river on purpose. When asked to explain why she did that, present the diamond - she was planning to keep the two million dollars diamond all for herself. Watch now as you explain the events leading to the murder. Eventually, you'll be asked who could testify about Dahlia's crimes. Select Fawles' profile to proceed. The court will now summon Fawles to the stands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FAWLES'S TESTIMONY: WHO TERRY FAWLES SAW [ PW3711 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "That day... 4:00pm... I stopped the car. I was in front of bridge..." 2: "She wasn't there... So, I waited on bridge." 3: "I watched my car from bridge. I never put no body in that car!" 4: "Finally, one woman came. She stood front of me." 5: "We talked... Then she left." 6: "That was... That was Valerie. Not my Dahlia!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FAWLES'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHO TERRY FAWLES SAW [ PW3711 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fawles, despite knowing Dahlia's betrayal, decides to cover for Dahlia. This would be your final objection for this episode. Present the witness's photo at 4 - it clearly shows who arrived at the scene of crime first. The person that came first would be the one at the end of the bridge, and Fawles wasn't the one there in the photo. Ok, watch the following scenes now. Some important stuff appears here, and it ties back to the first case of this game. For once, I won't spoil it for you. In the end, Fawles was so adamant in protecting Dahlia that he commits suicide. So, despite having the upper hand, the trial comes to a sudden and tragic end. And the only winner from this entire farcade is the demonic Dahlia Hawthorne. But guess what? You still haven't seen the last of her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TURNABOUT BEGINNINGS: END ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 8. EPISODE 5: BRIDGE TO THE TURNABOUT [ PW3801 ] ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND [ PW3802 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- During the opening scenes, the Kurain Shichishito is once again being introduced. Towards the end of the intro, a dead body is found at the foot of a statue, with the sword neatly stuck into her back - this would be the Ami Fey Golden Statue, if you didn't notice. This sets the premise of the case, which works as a conclusion to the trilogy. Sit back, and enjoy one of the most intriguing cases of the entire series. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1-1: INVESTIGATION [ PW3803 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/6 Time: 9:48am Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices Go through the conversations with Maya and Pearl. They intend to go to a place called the Hazakura Temple for some spiritual training. They need a guardian though, and unfortunately, that means you. You reject the proposal initially, but that's when Pearl shoves a copy of the "Oh! Cult" magazine in your face that introduces the Hazakura Temple's training courses. In the magazine, you see a photo of two nuns... ... and one of them looks exactly like Dahlia Hawthorne. Time to pack your bags, Phoenix. "Oh! Cult!" New Year's Issue filed as evidence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Time: 3:24am Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate You meet a nun here that looks familiar. Oh, she's the other nun in the magazine photo. She introduces herself as Bikini - before you laugh your heads off, take note that this name is deliberately created as a synonym to its Chinese/ Japanese term, which basically means "nun". Talk to Bikini on the options available, especially "The other nun". You'll show her the magazine article. She tells you that the girl beside her is called "Iris". Take note of the name of this important character. Go to the Main Hall now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall You'll meet a woman who looks weirder than Maya here. Go through the conversations and you'll find that her name is Elise Deauxnim (how do you pronounce this?). Pearl recognizes her as the author of several picture books for children. One of her books, "The Magic Bottle", actually won an award last year. Talk to Elise about "Elise Deauxnim". At the end of the conversation, she'll tell you that she recently has a new apprentice by the name of "Laurice Deauxnim". You'll meet this guy shortly, so remember this name. Now, ask "Why come here?". She explains that she's gathering materials for a new book. The nuns here are helpful to her course, and even loaned her the costume that she's wearing now. Towards the end, she excuses herself to prepare dinner, and takes Pearl along with her. When Maya offers to help, however, she declines. Before she leaves, she hands you a map of Hazakura Temple. Look closer at the map, and you'll find it strangely familiar - the right side of the map is basically the Dusky Bridge map you saw in Episode 4. Hazakura Temple Map added to the records. Go to the main gate again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate From here, you'll need to go to the Training Hall via the Suspension Bridge ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Location: Suspension Bridge It's confirmed - this is indeed the Dusky Bridge. Take note of the public phone here. Go to the Inner Temple gate now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Location: Inner Temple Gate You can examine this area if you want, but there's nothing important at the moment. You should head striaght into the Training Hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Location: Inner Temple, Training Hall You'll find Iris here. She seems to know you, and she quickly excuses herself in an attempt to avoid talking to you. Examine the area now. Of special note is the hanging scroll on the right side. Maya tells you that is a painting of her mother, Misty Fey. The crest at the top of the scroll is a symbol of the Master of Kurain Channeling Technique. Return to the suspension bridge now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Location: Suspension Bridge You'll meet this "Laurice Deauxnim" here. It turns out that he's none other than Larry Butz in a silly, arty-farty costume. Talk to him on the following options: "Laurice Deauxnim", "Picture Books" and "Elise Deauxnim". In the second option, he talks about falling in love with yet another girl. In "Elise Deauxnim", he'll show you a picture of Elise. Photo of Elise filed as evidence. Since Larry mentioned about a girl, you should more or less suspect who he's after. Show him Iris's profile, and he'll confirm that he's indeed having a crush on the beautiful nun. This is when Pearl interrupts the discussion. Dinner is ready, and you'll be automatically transported back to the Main Hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Time: 7:46pm Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall Just after dinner, you'll meet the majority of the cast here. Go through the conversations to talk to them until this section is over and done with. Take note of the evening plans of the following personnel: Pearl is to visit Elise in her room for some spelling lessons, while Maya intends to spend a night at the Inner Temple for her spiritual training. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Time: 9:12pm Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall It's slightly after 9:00pm. You're making your way to the bathroom when you bump into Elise. She's rather worried, as Pearl, who's supposed to visit her in her room, didn't turn up at all. She goes away in search of her. You'll then meet Iris, who's incidentally heading towards the bathroom as well. You can finally take this opportunity to talk to her. Talk about "Iris" for some basic information. Now, talk about "Hazakura Temple". Iris will give you her hood, which she claims will protect you from the evil spirits. This will be added to the Court Records. Before she takes her leave to ring the lights off bell, she calls out your name accidentally. You don't remember introducing yourself to her, which makes it quite obvious that she does know who you are. As you press about this, she'll show you no less than FIVE Psyche- Locks. Let her go for now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Time: 11:06pm Location: Hazakura Temple, Courtyard Your night is interrupted by a flash of lightning and a scream from the courtyard. Once you rush there, you'll find Elise's body at the foot of the Ami Fey statue - this is a tie-in to the intro scenes you saw earlier. You also find Bikini here. It seems that she was the one who found the body, and screamed for help. She asks you to call the police, but since you didn't bring your cellphone, you'll have no choice but to make the trip to the Dusky Bridge to use the public phone. This scene of you being asked to make a call to the police looks strangely familiar. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/7 Time: 11:18pm Location: Dusky Bridge Amazingly, you'll find that the bridge is on fire. Looks like the killer has ran across the bridge towards the Inner Temple, and has chosen to burn the bridge as an insurance policy... ...or did he? You fear for Maya's safety, since she's at the Inner Temple right now. Thankfully, Larry's here as well. Question is, why is he here? Never- theless, You task him to make the call to the police, while you decide to brave the fire to run across the bridge for Maya. The bridge collapses before you could make it to the other side though, as Larry watches on helplessly... ... what a cliffhanger! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1-2: INVESTIGATION [ PW3804 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: ??? Time: ??? Location: ??? You take on the role of Miles Edgeworth in this section of the game. It's the middle of the night, and you receive a phone call from an old pal, Larry Butz. He tells you about the happenings at Hazakura Temple, and asks for your help. When you hear that Phoenix was down, you decide that it's perhaps time to return to your friends. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Time: 2:10pm Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room You find Larry here. It appears that Iris has been arrested for the murder of Elise, and Larry pleads that you defend her. It has always been your dream to be a defense attorney, but a case from the past has twisted your destiny, and you became a prosecutor instead. Maybe, this would be the chance for you to fulfil your true potential. You explain to Larry that you visited Phoenix in the hospital earlier. Thankfully, our hero isn't badly hurt, but he'd still be out for at least two days. Which is why he handed over two important items to you - the magatama, and his attorney badge. Looks like you've no choice but to take on the case. You'll see Iris soon. Obviously, you find her pretty familiar as well. In any case, talk to her about "Iris", and she'll tell you that she needs to atone for her sins by purfiying her soul. Hmm, exactly what kind of sins are she talking about? Ask about "The night of the crime", and she replies that she was told to go to the Training Hall. However, she didn't make her way there. Instead, she stayed in her room because she was fightened. Ask "Any idea?" now, and she tells you that she didn't kill Elise. Now, you don't know about this at the moment, since you don't believe in the power of the magatama. But note that when Iris says this, there are no Psyche-Locks. Which means, she's telling the truth? Next, ask why she's "Frightened". She talks about "deceiving" Phoenix five years ago, but soon shows you two Psyche-Locks. It's time to visit the crime scene. Go to the suspension bridge now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Dusky Bridge You'll find Detective Gumshoe here. Ask "What happened", and he tells you that there's a witness who saw the whole event. The said witness is none other than Bikini. He suggests that you talk to her to find out more about the details. Talk about "Dusky Bridge" now. It seems that the bridge is now sealed. Unfortunately, that means that Maya, who's doing her training at the Inner Temple over at the other side of the bridge now, is stuck. Gumshoe tells you that no one would be able to reach the other side until tomorrow. As you probe further about the fire on the bridge, Gumshoe reveals the cause of the fire was most probably lightning. This opens a topic on "Lightning". Talk about it, and he'll show you a detailed weather data, which says that lightning struck Dusky Bridge at 10:45pm, and it took approximately 30 minutes before the fire subsided. Weather data filed as evidence. You decide to press further about the accuracy of this report. Gumshoe replies that he got the information from a witness. However, he doesn't seem to know who this "witness" is. Now, ask about "Prosecutor Godot". It seems that Godot is the one in charge of this case as well. Note here that you've never heard of him before, so Luke Atmey's earlier assertions that Godot has got a nod of approval from you are therefore complete bollocks. You should go to the main gate now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate Larry is back at the temple. You can talk to him about the following options: "Iris" and "The night of the crime". At the second option, he'll show you three Psyche-Locks. Eight of these things now, and you haven't got a clue yet. Head into the Main Hall now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall You'll find Bikini here. Ask about "The night of the crime". She tells you that she went to the Inner Temple with Maya after dinner last night for training at about 9:00pm. She was to stay by Maya's side at all times to keep watch over her. So, why was she back at the main temple? Ask "Why return?". She tells you that she has a bad lower back, and the condition is made worse during winter... like, now. Therefore, she came back to the main temple to take a hot bath to help ease her aching back. To ensure that Maya wasn't left alone, however, she instructed Iris to go to the Inner Temple after the lights off bell is rung. Next, talk about "What you saw". She replies that she saw Iris stab- bing Elise in the back with a sword. This opens up a topic on "The acolyte". Talk about it, and she tells you that the acloyte on training last night was indeed Maya. She also reveals that Pearl, who was supposed to be with Elise last night, has been missing since. Before you go, show Iris's profile to Bikini. She reveals that Iris did make her rounds to the Inner Temple after 10:00pm. This doesn't fit with Iris's story at all, obviously. One of them must be lying, then? But hang on... there's no Psyche-Lock on Bikini as well. The plot thickens! You should now examine the area. The only thing worth taking a look (and it's screaming at you to take a look at it) is the piece of paper at the top left corner of the screeen, underneath a cushion. It turns out to be an envelope that contains a letter. It says: "To Iris of Hazakura Temple: Salutation here There is something I must talk to you about. I'll be waiting for you tonight at 10 at Heavenly Hall. Make sure you come. unless you want your "secret" to be exposed..." A blackmail letter? Note to Iris filed as evidence. Move to the courtyard now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Hazakura Temple, Courtyard The investigations are still ongoing. Talk to Gumshoe here about "The victim" to get the autopsy report. The estimated time of death was between 10:00pm to 11:00pm on 2/7. The cause of death was blood loss resulting from a stab to the back by a giant sword. The strange thing, howver, is that Elise's entire body is covered with bruises. These bruises are consistent with falling from the height of a two-storey building (about 10ft). There just happens to be a two-storey builing nearby - and it happens to be the room that Elise was staying in before her death. Take note of this. Autopsy report added to the records. I'd suggest you read it to confirm the point that she appeared to have fallen 10ft AFTER she was killed. Talk about "What happened", and Gumshoe will summarize the case for you. This opens up a conversation topic for "Inner Temple". Talk about it to get more information about the place. Now, ask about "Tomorrow's trial" to find out that Godot, who's to be the prosecutor tomorrow, has gone missing. Go through the rest of the conversations to reveal that you've made some arrangements for a different judge and another prosecutor for the trial, so that people won't be making a fuss over your sudden role as a defense attorney. You should examine the crime scene now. Check the golden statue, and you'll find that the Shichishito has been identified as the murder weapon. Blood found on the sword has been confirmed as Elise's. The fingerprints on the weapon match those of Iris's. Shichishito acquired. Check the staff on the floor, to the left of the statue. It belongs to Elise, so naturally her fingerprints are all over it. Notice, however, that the crystal sphere on the staff has gone missing. Take a walk to the main gate of the temple now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate Larry is nowhere to be found, but a snowmobile is staring right at you in the face. Examine it to proceed. It's time to take on Iris's second set of Psyche-Locks. Return to the detention center. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Before you do the Psyche-Locks, talk to Iris about "Inner Temple". You tell her about Bikini's assertions, but she insists that she wasn't at the Inner Temple last night. Now, present the magatama to initiate the Psyche-Lock sequence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S PSYCHE-LOCK: FRIGHTENED? [ PW3805 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You want to believe that Iris is telling the truth, and to do so, you need to determine what frightened her so much that she couldn't even leave her room. Present the note to Iris - she's afraid of the black- mailer who wrote this letter. One lock broken. Iris will now say that the letter was all but a prank, and that even if she does have a secret, there's no one to tell it to that would cause her any grief. You know, however, there's one person that she didn't want it to be told to. Show Phoenix's profile to break the next lock. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can now talk about "Frightened?". She explains that the "Heavenly Hall" mentioned in the letter is a small shack near Dusky Bridge. She tells you for her to go to the Inner Temple, she must use the bridge, but the thought that a criminal was hiding at the Heavenly Hall made her stay in her room until the murder was discovered. Iris's Testimony added to the Court Record. It's about time to finish off Larry's Psyche-Locks as well... and he can be conveniently found at, you guess it, Heavenly Hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/8 Location: Heavenly Hall To break the ice, talk about "Iris" and "Heavenly Hall". Next, ask about "The night of the crime" to make the locks show again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY BUTZ'S PSYCHE-LOCK: THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME [ PW3806 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the magatama to begin. Larry tells you that at around 10:00pm last night, it started thundering. He was in his room then at the main hall, but he saw a bout of lightning struck Dusky Bridge, before the bridge caught fire. You'll need to tell him that it's impossible to see lightning striking Dusky Bridge by showing him the Hazakura Temple map - from the map, you can see that the Main Hall is surrounded by trees. As such, it's not possible for him to see the bridge from there. One lock crushed. Next, you'll need to determine the location where Larry witnessed the lightning strike. Point to "Heavenly Hall" on the map to proceed. Next lock crushed. Now, why would Larry being doing at Heavenly Hall at such an odd time? Would he perhaps be waiting for someone? Present Iris's profile when you need to identify the person that he was waiting for. You need to show proof to substantiate the last call, so show Larry the note to Iris to end this once and for all - he must be the one who wrote the blackmail letter! Meaning, this blackmailing red herring was all but just a silly little game from Larry. All locks crushed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, "The night of the crime". Larry now tells you that the "blackmail letter" is actually a "love letter". Awesome, only Larry could write a love letter like this. But, seriously... ... what. a. waste. of. time! Gumshoe then reminds you about something that Larry said a while ago. He mentioned about seeing "something incredible" last night. Talk about this "Something incredible now", and he'll show you no less than five Psyche-Locks. Noooooooooooooooooooo! And thus ends Miles Edgeworth first day as a defense attorney. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2-1: TRIAL [ PW3807 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Time: 9:47am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Go through the conversations with Iris. Nothing much here to note. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Time: 9:47am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 7 Since the regular judge knows who you're, you've specially request another judge for this trial. He turns out to be the one you faced some six years ago during the Valerie Hawthorne murder. Hopefully he doesn't find you too familiar. To make things easier, you've also requested Franziska von Karma, daughter of your former mentor, to be the prosecutor for this case. Look out for that whip! The witness taking the stand today is Sister Bikini. Let's roll. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S TESTIMONY: THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER [ PW3808 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "That night, I was helping an acolyte with her training in the Inner Temple. But..." 2: "Well, as you can see, my back likes to act up. Violently." 3: "So, I left Iris to help the acolyte, and returned to Hazakura Temple." 4: "There's no bath at the Inner Temple, you see, and I needed a long, hot soak." 5: "After I had finished, and just as I was heading back... that's when I saw it!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER [ PW3808 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At 3, present Iris's Testimony - there's no reason for Iris to lie about staying in her room, since being at the Inner Temple would've given her a better alibi for the murder. Bikini, however, insists that Iris did come to the Inner Temple. This leads to a revision to her testimony. 6: "Iris came to the Inner Temple. She was dressed exactly as she had been at dinner." Present Iris's Hood now - she could not have been dressed exactly as she had been at dinner, because she has given her hood as a gift to Phoenix before the lights off bell at 10:00pm. So far, so good, Edgeworth. Time for more testimony from the sister. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S TESTIMONY: AFTER MY BATH [ PW3809 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I finished my bath around 11, and I thought I should return to the Inner Temple." 2: "And as I was walking back... I heard a noise from the courtyard. I took a look and..." 3: "Iris was...! Oh, Mystic Elise! And with that sword, of all things!" 4: "Mystic Elise was staying in the corner room, which faces out onto the courtyard." 5: "The stabbing I saw must have occurred after she was pushed out of her window." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AFTER MY BATH [ PW3809 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you've been paying attention to Elise's autopsy report, this should be a cakewalk. Show the report at 5 - it clearly states that the body fell 10ft after death. Watch the next scenes as Franziska and you argue about the possible location of the murder. If Elise's body was thrown after she was stabbed, it'd be possible that she was killed in her room. However, Franziska confirms that there were no signs of struggle in the room. More importantly, there weren't any bloodstains as well. Franziska then argues that a stab wound would spill the most blood at the moment when the blade is drawn. She therefore draws the conclusion that Elise's body was thrown down into the courtyard from her room, with the sword still stuck in her back as a "blood-lid". Wow, she's good. With this, the judge requests for further details from Bikini. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S TESTIMONY: FURTHER DETAILS [ PW3810 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When I looked across at the scene, the sword was already in place." 2: "Thinking about it now, I didn't actually see her stab Mystic Elise." 3: "I've never seen so much blood before..." 4: "That's when I fainted. You can't blame me, can you?" 5: "And when I awoke... Mystic Ami was... stabbing Mystic Elise through the back!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: FURTHER DETAILS [ PW3810 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 3 to find out that when Iris was caught, her blood-flecked clothing was found in her room. You now have a choice of whether to pursue this matter further. Choose "Press further" to proceed. This will eventually lead to an addition to Bikini's testimony. 6: "I saw the instant in which the blade, plunged in to the hilt, was smoothly drawn out." Yes! A contradiction! Present the Shichishito to show the court that: 1. The sword has seven branches, and is therefore difficult for a person of Iris's built to plunge it to the hilt into Elise's body; 2. With its unique shape, it's also unlikely that the sword can act as a "blood-lid" - to do so, a straight blade is required; 3. Similarly, it'd be impossible to draw the sword out of a body "smoothly" due to the sword's shape; 4. And, if the sword was indeed plunged to the hilt, why would Elise's blood only be found on the front end of the sword? So, what's the only logical explanation to the above contradictions? You tell the court that the Shichishito could not have been the murder weapon, that's what! You'll go on to explain that the killer has used the golden statue and the Shichishito to create an impression so strong that everyone assumed that the Shichishito is the murder weapon. The question now is, where's the real murder weapon now? More testimony! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S TESTIMONY: LOCATION OF THE WEAPON [ PW3811 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I saw the murder at around 11:00pm..." 2: "And after asking that it be reported, I went out to the Main Gate." 3: "And there... I saw tracks! Tracks that indicated the snowmobile had been used!" 4: "It takes 15 minutes to walk to Dusky Bridge, but less than 5 using one of those!" 5: "Maybe they threw the weapon into Eagle River and came back while I was knocked out?" 6: "...Iris could have done that. She can drive a snowmobile after all..." To support Bikini's claims, Franziska presents a photo of the snow- mobile tracks. This would be added to the Court Record... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: LOCATION OF THE WEAPON [ PW3811 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ... which is awesome, since it's the only evidence you can use to find a contradiction in Bikini's latest testimony. Show the tracks photo at 5 - if Iris left the temple with the snowmobile, threw the weapon into Eagle River, and then returned to the temple, there should two sets of tracks. However, the photo only shows one. Franziska replies that on the night of the murder, it was snowing. It's therefore possible that the first set of tracks was erased by snowfall. You'll have to contest this possibility. Reply "There is a contra- diction" to proceed. Franziska will then challenge you to show evidence to support your claims. Present the weather data - Bikini mentioned that she witnessed the crime at about 11:00pm, which means that the weapon could only have been disposed after that. However, the weather data concluded that snow has stopped at around 10:50pm. Thus, it's not possible for snow to have covered the first set of tracks. You'll still need to show another evidence that snow has indeed stopped at the time of the crime. Present the crime photo to proceed - if it was still snowing then, Elise's body would've been covered in snow as well. Take that! You'll now explain that someone used the snowmobile to go from the Hazakura Temple to Dusky Bridge that night. It was still snowing then, so the set of tracks left behind was erased. When this person returned to the temple, the snow had stopped, which was why the return tracks remained. Watch the next scenes as Bikini points out that the key to the snowmobile was found in Iris's room after the murder. However, when she returned to the Hazakura Temple for her hot bath, she saw the snow- mobile at the main gate, still covered in snow. Which means, the mobile could not have been used before 10:00pm. As the case gets into a bottleneck, you remember that someone might've seen something that night. You know, that someone who was was braving the snow near Dusky Bridge that night? When asked to identify this idiot, show Larry's profile. The judge will then summon Larry as a witness. Great, an official platform to dig out his little secrets. Recess time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2-2: TRIAL [ PW3812 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Time: 11:15am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 During this interval, you ask Iris whether she was the person who rode the snowmobile that night. She more or less admitted to it, but when you pressed for the reason, she showed you five Psyche-Locks. She explains that she can't tell you yet, until the safety of Maya is confirmed. Wow, this girl has more locks than a locksmith. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Time: 11:36am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 7 Go through the initial shenanigans until you take on Larry in the stands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I SAW [ PW3813 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I was at that lodge out in the mountains, looking up at the stars that night." 2: "I walked to the bridge a number of times, but..." 3: "I didn't see a s-snowmobile!" 4: "I didn't meet anyone at the bridge that night!" 5: "The girl I was waiting for didn't show up... My teacher died on me..." 6: "I'm all alone now. Aren't I, Edgeyyyyy....!?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I SAW [ PW3813 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you've been following the story so far, because Larry is clearly lying here. Present Phoenix's profile at 4 to point out the contradiction - I don't think I need to explain this one. Next! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I SAW, PART 2 [ PW3814 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I went to the shack at around 9, so it would have been about 10:30pm..." 2: "I was lying under my bedding when a white flash almost blinded me!" 3: "I looked out the window... and Dusky Bridge was on fire!" 4: "There was still some thunder, but I went right away to check it out." 5: "That's when I ran into Nick." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I SAW, PART 2 [ PW3814 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 4 to find out that Larry took about five minutes to reach Dusky Bridge. You'll now need to press further. Ask "Why didn't you call anyone?" to procced. This will lead to an addition to the testimony. 6: "I arrived at the bridge, and Nick showed up less than a minute later." Present the weather data now - the lightning strike was reported at 10:45pm. If it only took Larry "about five minutes" to reach Dusky Bridge, he'd have reached the bridge at about 10:50pm to 11:00pm. But, at 11:00pm, the murder has just been discovered at Hazakura Temple, so Phoenix was still at the courtyard! Watch now as you further explain the impossibility of Larry's alleged statements. The judge will eventually ask him to explain the mystery of the missing 15 minutes. Finally, the "something incredible" that he talked about yesterday is about to be exposed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S TESTIMONY: THE MISSING 15 MINUTES [ PW3815 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I'm a Deauxnim. I'm an artist! What do you think I was doing?" 2: "Sketching! In front of the bridge! I was whipped up into a frenzy of art!" 3: "The shock and awe that I was feeling... I transferred it all directly onto the page!" 4: "...Before I realized it, the flames had gone out, and then he came running up." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE MISSING 15 MINUTES [ PW3815 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 2 to find out more about Larry's sketch. When given the chance, choose to "Look at the sketch" to proceed. He'll now present this sketch - it shows the picture of a woman flying across the burning Dusky Bridge! Larry will now reveal that the flying woman was Iris. Larry's Sketch filed as evidence. It looks roughly like this: \ O / \ /|\ / \ /\ / \ / \ / F..... I..... R..... E..... .....! ----------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------- F..... I..... R..... E..... .....! You'll get a new statement from him too: 5: "I saw Iris flying! Her white hood fluttering!" Present Iris's Hood to point out the contradiction - again, her hood was no longer with her since she gave it to Phoenix before 10:00pm. Larry replies that he has definitive evidence to prove that Iris flew. One last testimony to tackle now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S TESTIMONY: PROOF THAT IRIS FLEW! [ PW3816 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When I reached Dusky Bride, she was already gone..." 2: "I was so worried! So I frantically searched all over for her!" 3: "That led to me finding a beautiful crystal sphere, half buried in the snow!" 4: "I'm sure that Iris was simply wearing a spare hood." 5: "After all, no on else could have lost a crystal that night." Crystal sphere added to the Court Record - and it's covered with blood. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LARRY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: PROOF THAT IRIS FLEW! [ PW3816 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present Elise's photo at 5 - notice the crystal sphere on her staff? Well, it wasn't there any more when the staff was discovered at the crime scene. Franziska wants to discard this sphere as an evidence, and she wants you to prove that the sphere was dropped before the murder took place. Can you prove it? Choose "Yes, I can" to proceed. You'll then be asked to show the proof. Present the crystal sphere now - it was found half-covered in snow, which suggests that when the sphere was dropped, it was snowing. If it wasn't, the sphere wouldn't be even half-covered in snow, would it? However, you've already proven earlier with the crime photo that it wasn't snowing when the murder occured. Which means, the sphere must have been dropped before the murder took place. Meaning? Elise must've been to Dusky Bridge that night, and the events that happened there must've caused the crystal on her staff to come loose. Since the sphere has blood on it, could it be that the real crime scene was near the foot of Dusky Bridge? To substantiate your suggestion, you must determine the method that Elise's body was carried to Hazakura Temple. Present the tracks photo now - the snowmobile, of course! Watch the next scenes as you explain the possibilities and such. I'll leave it to you to read them. You leave behind the following mysteries: 1. Is Dusky Bridge really the crime scene? 2. If so, why was the body moved to Hazakura Temple? 3. And, what's with the flying woman thing? All these mean that the case requires further investigation. You've finally bought enough time for Phoenix to return to the case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 3-1: INVESTIGATION [ PW3817 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Time: 3:43am Location: Hotti Clinic, Intensive Care Unit Hotti Clinic returns, ha ha! Anyway, this scene here relates back to the intro in Episode 4, when Phoenix was reading about the Valerie Hawthorne murder. And this marks the return of Phoenix Wright, THE ace attorney. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Time: 2:43pm Location: Dusky Bridge Go through the conversation with Edgeworth here, and you explore the topic on the real murder weapon. He excuses himself soon after. Gum- shoe also promises that he'll fix the bridge ASAP so that you can get over to the other side for Maya. Go to the main gate now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate Watch as Larry and Franziska act out a silly whipping scene. After Larry passes out (I think), talk to Franziska on the following options: "Franziska von Karma", "Today's Trial" and "What happened". These will provide some background on her, as well as a summary of certain events in the case so far. Go to the Main Hall next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall You'll find a very dejected Bikini here. Talk to her about "Iris", and she's adamant that she saw Iris pulled the sword out from Elise's body. There aren't any Psyche-Locks when she said this, so she must be telling the truth. However, if you remember when Iris told Edgeworth that she didn't kill Elise, there weren't any Psyche-Locks as well. On top of that, Larry's also insisted that he saw a flying Iris. You could only conclude that both Bikini and Larry both didn't see what they think they saw. Back to the investigation. Talk about "Inner Temple". Bikini re- confirms that the other side of Dusky Bridge is like an island, being surrounded on all sides with rivers and forests. The Inner Temple is the only building there. Unfortunately, this also means that if the killer did escape to the other side, he or she must still be there now. You worry about Maya even more now. Next, ask about "Elise Deauxnim". You may've notice by now that Bikini kept referring to Elise as "Mystic Elise" during the earlier trial. When you probe further, Bikini throws you five Psyche-Locks. This opens up a topic on "Pearl". You haven't forgot her, have you? She has gone missing since that fateful day. Well, if she couldn't be found anywhere now, the only logical place that she could be would be... at the other side of the bridge, perhaps? Leave Bikini for now, and head to the courtyard. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Courtyard I don't know what exactly kickstart the next events here, but just take some time to examine everything here - the statue, the staff on the floor, the Main Hall building, etc. Once done, return to the Main Hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall Gumshoe makes an exaggerated appearance here. He has completed the repairs on Dusky Bridge! Yes! Quickly take the following route to the other side now -> Main Gate -> Suspension Bridge -> Inner Temple gate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple Gate Amazingly, you find Pearl here. She mentions that she's all alone... which means, where the hell is Maya? As you ask further, Pearl runs off. Take some time to examine this area - something seems different since the last time you were here. Check the incinerator on the left side of this area. There's a weird smell coming from it, and its door is opened. But when you check it, it's empty. You remember, however, that when you first came to this place, the incinerator was covered in snow. Someone must have used it to burn something recently. Now, go to the right side of the area, and check the small gate on the left. It has a "no entry" sign on it. This gate will lead to another area, but it's not accessible yet, so remember it for later. Go into the Inner Temple now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Training Hall Something seems to have changed since the last time you came here as well. You notice the padlock right in front of you. Check it to find that it's guarding the entrance to a sacred cavern. Now, examine the hanging scroll on the right again. You'll find that it's now covered in gravy! The gravy must've been from the dinner on the night of the murder... but why? Hanging scroll information updated with gravy in the records. This is when Godot appears. He seems... different today. In fact, if you talk to him, you'll finally get a hint of his true identity. That is, if you still haven't figure it out from Episode 4. Ask "Why didn't you show?". Go through the resulting conversations and he'll explain that he has been "dead" before. He also tells you that you know who ended his life. As he rattles on, he will also reveal that his eyesight is hurting him. It's all very abstract and glibberish, so I'll just leave it to you to read them. He also mentioned something about you setting in motion something that you can't undo. Ask about this "Can't undo" matter. He tells you that Maya is likely to be locked up in the sacred cavern at sub- zero degrees. Meaning, she'd have been dead by now. He goes on to say that another woman died because of you. This leads to a conversation on "Mia Fey". Talk about it, and he blames you for Mia's death. You can now also ask about the "Trick lock" that guards the cavern. There's no keyhold to the lock. Apparently, it was set up by Iris on the night of Maya's training. This is the tradition of the training here, that the accompanying nun will set a lock to guard the person in training. Godot ends by telling you that Iris is now on the way here to open this lock. Get out of this place now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple Gate Gumshoe is here. He quickly runs off to the garden nearby, where investigations are still being made. This opens the "Garden" location - this would be where the small gate leads to. Go there now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Garden Talk to Gumshoe about "The investigation". He tells you that despite the valiant efforts of their scientific investigation teams, there's no breakthrough in the case. Ask about "Maya" now to find that Edgeworth is the one escorting Iris back here to open the lock to the cavern. It seems that he also has something important to tell you, possibly about Maya. You can more or less guess what it's about if you examine the huge lantern right in front of you. It has some red markings on it, and upon examination, you find that the word written is actually "MAYA", although it's written upside down. This opens a conversation on "Bloody writing". You'll find the shocker that it was written in Elise's blood. This leads to the suggestion that this garden was the actual crime scene. Meaning, the thus far missing Maya could become a prime suspect, again! Talk about "True crime scene" now. If the garden is the crime scene, what would Bikini's testimony mean? She was sure she saw Iris pulling a sword out from Elise's body! The possibility of the evidence in the garden being planted is also thrown out of the equation, since the bridge was only just repaired, and no one could come here to plant any fake evidence during the past two days. Now, examine the small red packet-like item on the floor, to the left. This is actually the Kurain Master's Talisman. Investigations confirmed that it was previously worn by Elise before she died. Kurain Master's Talisman filed as evidence. Go all the way back to the main gate of Hazakura Temple now. I hope you remember the way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate You'll meet Edgeworth and Iris here. They go off to the Inner Temple for the lock, but Edgeworth hints that Maya could be implicated in this case. As you expected, then. Well, there's nothing you can do about this now. So let's go break Bikini's Psyche-Locks now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BIKINI'S PSYCHE-LOCK: ELISE DEAUXNIM [ PW3818 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the magatama to initiate the process. You'll need to establish Elise's special significance to Hazakura Temple. Present the Kurain Master's Talisman when asked about Elise's true identity. This wouldn't be enough. You'll still need to show another item to point out specifically who Elise really is. Present the hanging scroll - the crest on it, which represents the Master of the Kurain clan, is the same crest that's on the talisman. Elise Deaunxnim = Misty Fey! (Ok, I sort of guessed it when I first saw her, but...) All five locks crushed at one go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk about "Elise Deauxnim" now. Bikini says that Misty came to the temple about a week ago - something has happened that made her came out of her hiding. Before you can find out what happened, an earthquake occurs. After the commotion, you begin to worry about Edgeworth, since he's afraid of earthquakes (see first game for origins). At the same time, you find the need to get back to the Inner Temple, since the other side of Dusky Bridge is pretty weak, and an earthquake would've cause a cave-in. Go to the main gate now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Gate Edgeworth is here. He tells you that when the earthquake happened, he passed out. When he woke up, Iris has gone missing. Before he launches a manhunt, you tell him that Iris must be at the sacred cavern. You'll now be automatically transported to the Training Hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Training Hall Thankfully, the place didn't cave in. But... instead of one lock on the cavern entrance, you now see FIVE locks on it! What the hell! Iris reappears soon after in a thrilling cliffhanger. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 3-2: INVESTIGATION [ PW3819 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Training Hall Still at the Training Hall, go through the initial conversations until Edgeworth leaves for the garden. Talk to Iris about "Escape", and she confirms that she wasn't trying to escape from the law. Instead, when she heard about the earthquake, she was concerned about the inner temple and the sacred cavern, which was why she made her way here to check out their conditions. Talk about "Trick lock" now. Iris says that only the person who set the locks can unlock them. However, she'll soon attempt to open all the five locks by trying out all the combinations available for each and every lock. Next, ask about "The night of the crime". This leads to three Psyche- Locks. Go to the Inner Temple Gate now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple Gate Here, you'll mentally jot down the people you'll need to talk to: Edgeworth, Bikini, Gumshoe and Pearl. Let's start with Edgeworth in the garden first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Garden Talk to Edgeworth about the following: "The investigation" and "Earth- quakes". For the first option, you'll find that Maya is indeed a suspect now. For the second option, you'll get a lengthy backstory to the DL-6 incident. Refer to the first game for more details of this case. Now, ask about "Iris". Edgeworth tells you that Iris reminds him of someone. After going through his case files, he remembers Dahlia from the Valerie Hawthorne case from six years ago. However, he's adamant that Dahlia has got nothing to do with this current case. You'll need to establish the link, but you don't have the evidence yet. Let's head towards the Heavenly Hall now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Heavenly Hall Larry and Pearl are finding comfort in the company of each other's failure here. Talk to them about "Laurice's sketch", and you'll get a recap of how Larry saw the flying woman incident. Note the position that Larry was at when he saw the incident if you haven't earlier noticed it. It's an important clue. Now, ask Pearl about "The night of the crime". She throws five Psyche-Locks at you. She does, however, tell you that her spiritual powers have disappeared. Ask about "Lost powers" now. It seems that she has tried to channel a spirit, but failed. Ok, time to go to the Main Hall for a taste of the old Bikini again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Main Hall Your earlier discussion about Misty Fey was interrupted by the earth- quake. Bikini will continue the story for you now. Misty has apparently told Bikini that someone's trying to destroy the Kurain tradition's main family line, and she's gonna to put a stop to it. Hmm... could that "someone" be Morgan Fey, by any chance? Talk about "Kurain Channeling Technique" and "DL-6 Incident" to get more backstory on how Misty made a mistake when she was asked by the police to use her powers to identify the real murderer in the DL-6 incident. Next, talk about "Family feud" to find out more about the battles between the Kurain's main and branch families. As you continue on, you'll find that Iris is actually Morgan's daughter! You can now ask about "Morgan and Iris". You'll explain to Bikini that Pearl is Morgan's daughter as well. Bikini will then reply that Morgan has THREE daughters, Most importantly... ... Iris has a twin sister. Yawn! An old trick from a cheap detective novel! :) After the above conversation, the profile "??????" appears in your Court Record. You now have the evidence to establish the connection between Dahlia and this case. But before you go back to Edgeworth, go to the courtyard first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Hazakura Temple, Courtyard Detective Gumshoe is happily going through a reggae sequence here. Talk to him about "The investigation", and he'll bring your attention to some scraps of paper he found. Ask about "The letter" next, and you'll get the letter added to your records. Apparently, this letter was found at the incinerator outside the Inner Temple. Check the letter to find that it's actually a three-page instructions for someone to channel the spirit of another. It specifically mentions about channeling the spirit of a certain person after the lights off bell was rung. Next, talk about the "Murder weapon". Gumshoe will tell you that he's using a secret weapon to locate the real murder weapon now. When you ask further, he presents to you... the trusty metal detector from the first game, in which you used to find the bullet that was lodged to the shoulder of Manfred von Karma. Now, do you want to help him find some clues? Choose "Play forensics expert" to proceed. You'll now get a set of instructions on how to use the metal detector. Cool! Use the detector to examine the staff on the floor, and you'll find a hidden sword within the staff. This must be the real murder weapon. If you want some nostalgia, examine the golden statue for a mention of the Blue Badger. Now, talk to Gumshoe about "Murder weapon". You'll eventually receive the victim's staff as an evidence. Ok, you can now go find Edgeworth in the Inner Temple Garden. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Garden Present the profile for "??????" to Edgeworth to turn the profile into "Dahlia Hawthorne". You can talk to him about this woman now for a recap of the events that happened in Episode 4 of this game. He also tells you that Valerie was Dahlia's stepsister, and that Dahlia is already dead. Ask about "Dahlia's death" now. After the events in Episode 1 earlier, Dahlia was sentenced to death. She was eventually executed last month. You'll get more backstory to the DL-6 incident as well. With Dahlia's profile unlocked, it's time to take on Iris's Psyche- Locks. Go into the Training Hall now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Inner Temple, Training Hall ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S PSYCHE-LOCK: THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME [ PW3820 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the magatama to begin the process. Iris insists that she was in her room that night, but someone saw her at the Inner Temple. When asked who's this person, show Bikini's profile. One lock crushed. Iris will then admit that she did go to the Inner Temple, and that she left the Main Hall at 9:40pm. Present Iris's Hood when you're asked to point out the contradiction - she was with you before the lights off bell was rung, so she couldn't have left the Main Hall before 10:00pm. Another lock crushed. So, how did Iris manage to ring the bell at 10:00pm, as well as appear at the Inner Temple at 10:00pm as well? Choose "There were two of you" to proceed. You'll need to show evidence to support your last claim. Present Dahlia's profile to proceed - the one at the Inner Temple that night wasn't Iris, but Dahlia! Someone must have channeled Dahlia's spirit that night. All locks crushed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk to Iris about "The night of the crime" now. It's as you've speculated. Dahlia was the "Iris" that appeared at the Inner Temple that day. Iris felt that she should helped Dahlia in whatever she intended to do because she has a sense of guilt towards her sister. This is due to a "betrayal" that she has committed. This opens up a topic on "The traitor". Iris reveals that she was involved in the planning of the fake kidnapping from 11 years ago. However, Dahlia's intention wasn't to steal the diamond, but for revenge. Talk about "Revenge" now. Iris explains that they wanted to take revenge on their father for abandoning their real mother. The pieces of the jigsaw are slowly falling into place. Go to Heavenly Hall now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/9 Location: Heavenly Hall You can unlock Pearl's Psyche-Locks now as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PEARL FEY'S PSYCHE-LOCK: THE NIGHT OF THE CRIME [ PW3821 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do the usual to begin the sequence. First off, you'll need to confirm Pearl's location on the night of the murder. Point to the Inner Temple on the map to proceed. You must now explain why Pearl was there. Show Maya's profile to break one lock - Pearl was worried about Maya's training, so she went over to the Inner Temple to check out on her. Pearl then accidentally lets slip of her concern about the lights off bell. You'll now have to provide the reason for this. Present the burnt letter to proceed - in the letter, the sentence "... as soon as you hear the lights off bell, you must channel her spirit" was clearly written. Pearl must be following the instructions on the letter. Another lock crushed. If that was the case, the letter must be meant for Pearl, then. So, whose spirit was she trying to channel that night? Present Dahlia's profile to proceed - the person who wrote this letter to Pearl wanted her to channel her own sister's spirit. Third lock crushed. Next up, who wrote the letter to Pearl? This is simple, no? Present Morgan's profile - it's the only logical conclusion that Pearl, who respects her mother dearly, would follow whatever was told by her mother. Wow, crushed! However, Pearl's limited reading skills mean that she wasn't sure with some of the bombastic words that Morgan has chosen to use in her letter. It was exactly why Pearl was asking Misty about words like "gravely" during the dinner on 2/7. To show that Pearl has indeed misunderstood some of the words in Morgan's letter, present the hanging scroll - the letter mentioned about "gravely roast(ing) the Master in the fires of Hades", but Pearl has mistook "gravely" as "gravy". So, she applied gravy from the dinner's pot of roast onto Misty's painting, ha ha. It's all over for these nasty Pysche-Locks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, you can talk to Pearl about "The night of the crime". It was past 10:00pm when she reached the Inner Temple that night, and the training has already begun. So, she waited at the guest area until she fell asleep. Ask again about her "Lost powers" now. She has failed to channel Dahlia's spirit on several occasions. She thus conclude that she could've lost her powers. Unless, Dahlia's spirit has already been channeled by someone else. Could it be Maya? Now, talk about "Morgan's letter". Pearl tells you that about a month ago (coincides with the time when Dahlia was executed), Morgan told her about a letter hidden at their house. When Pearl retrieved the letter, she found that the seal on it was already broken. Continue on as Godot makes another nasty appearance. There's nothing else you can do now, but to wait for the trial to begin tomorrow. Meanwhile, in a prison cell far, far away, Morgan begins to enjoy the fruits of her evil... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-1: TRIAL [ PW3822 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/10 Time: 9:39am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Something is very wrong today. Edgeworth tells you that Iris suddenly has a "confession" to make, so she'll be a witness in court today. The prosecutor has also been changed to Godot, since Franziska is now trying to unlock those trick locks with the help of Bikini. Confession? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/10 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 7 Iris will now confess her role in the covering-up of the murder. Meaning, she's now claiming that she was an accomplice to someone else who did the killing. Note that the judge today has been changed to the usual one. It turns out that the other guy is his brother, and that bugger is down with a bout of fever. Strangely, your fever is gone and you're feeling much better today. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S TESTIMONY: THE REAL MURDERER [ PW3823 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I went to the Inner Temple that night and I saw it all happen in the garden." 2: "I saw Mystic Elise strike Mystic Maya with her staff!" 3: "Then, while Mystic Maya was stumbling, Mystic Elise moved in to deliver a fatal strike!" 4: "Mystic Maya tried desperately to defend herself and stole the weapon...!" 5: "It was only in self-defense! You can't blame her for it!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE REAL MURDERER [ PW3823 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 3 to get more information about this moment of the fatal strike. Iris replies that Elise (Misty) threw her staff away, and pulled a dagger from inside her robe to attack Maya. When given the chance, choose "There is one thing..." to make Iris add the following to her testimony: 6: "She threw her staff away and pulled a dagger from inside her robe!" Present the victim's staff immediately to point out the contradiction here - the staff itself is a cane-sword. Why would Elise throw a handy weapon away, and use another one if she was indeed trying to kill Maya? In fact, the statement about Elise trying to kill Maya is also a contradiction by itself. When given the chance, present Elise's profile to explain why - Elise is actually Misty, the mother of Maya. Why would she want to kill the daughter that she hasn't seen for 17 years? Iris seems taken aback by the true identity of Elise. Just when you think that you've done well, Godot brings your attention to a dagger that Gumshoe found at the Inner Temple Garden. It's discovered at the back of the pine tree there, and bloodstains are clearly showing on it. Dagger added to Court Record, and sent for blood analysis. The appearance of the dagger makes Iris's testimony somewhat credible. The judge will now order Iris to testify about the "battle" between Misty and Maya. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S TESTIMONY: THE BATTLE [ PW3824 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Mystic Maya stumbled briefly after being hit over the head with the staff..." 2: "But then she dodged Mystic Elise's next attack and stole her weapon!" 3: "Suddenly Mystic Elise was the one on the defense with her back to the stone lantern." 4: "That's when Mystic Maya stabbed Mystic Elise!" 5: "Mystic Elise managed to fling the knife away, but then... Then... She collapsed." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE BATTLE [ PW3824 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the autopsy report at 4 - the autopsy report states that Misty was stabbed in the back. However, if Misty's back is facing the stone lantern as Iris mentioned, there's no way Maya could attack Misty from the back. Godot will now argue that on the night of the murder, the lighting conditions at the Inner Temple Garden weren't ideal. Although it was a tradition to light the lantern when someone's training, it simply couldn't be lit that night as the wick was too old. Basically, he's trying to use poor lighting conditions to counter the list of contradictions that you've found so far (throw away staff, mother vs daughter, etc.). The information about the lantern not being lit that night will be updated into the records. The judge then notices the blood-written, upside-down "Maya" on the lantern. Amazingly, Godot appears furious at this. Apparently, HE CAN'T SEE THE WORDS AT ALL. You then remember him saying something about his eyesight yesterday. The focus will now be shifted to Iris's alleged covering-up of the events following the murder. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S TESTIMONY: SISTER IRIS'S COVER-UP [ PW3825 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "After Mystic Elise died... I called out to Mystic Maya." 2: "I thought it was my duty to protect the future Master of the Kurain Tradition." 3: "So I removed the body from the Inner Temple by myself..." 4: "I dragged it behind me all the way across Dusky Bridge." 5: "Then I used the snowmobile to carry it back to Hazakura Temple and..." 6: "...I used the Shichishito to alter the way the wound looked." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: SISTER IRIS'S COVER-UP [ PW3825 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 5 to find out more about the snowmobile. When given a chance to ask for more details, choose to ask "About the tracks". You'll draw attention to the tracks photo that shows only one set of tracks marks. Iris replies that it was still snowing when she left Hazakura Temple, and that when she witnessed the murder, the snow had stopped. What do you think of Iris's reply? When prompted, choose "It's very important" to proceed. This leads to an addition to Iris's testimony. 7: "By the time the murder took place, the snow had already stopped." Press 7 to get a hint of the contradiction in this particular cross- examination, as well as an idea of why Iris is so hell bent on pinning the crime on Maya now. Back to 4, present the weather data - it confirms that snow only stopped at 10:50pm, but lightning has already struck Dusky Bridge at 10:45pm. Meaning, it'd be impossible for Iris to drag the body all across the bridge after the snow had stopped. Watch the next scenes as Godot's and Iris's feeble excuses continue to frustrate. Eventually, Godot will present a photo of Dusky Bridge after the fire. It shows that one of the suspension wires holding the bridge has been severed on one side... the side leading to the Inner Temple. Now, a hint. Compare this photo to Larry's sketch to solve the mystery of the flying woman. Don't get it? Well, never mind. Dusky Bridge photo filed as evidence nonetheless. Next up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S TESTIMONY: MOVING THE BODY [ PW3826 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Other than walking over the bridge, there's no way to move the body." 2: "So I... must have just... gotten confused, I guess." 3: "Was the snow still falling or had it stopped...? Does it really matter that much?" 4: "Or are you saying that there is a way to cross a burning bridge?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IRIS'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MOVING THE BODY [ PW3826 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I told you about Larry's sketch just moments later, and it has much relevance here. Show it at 4. The answer isn't immediately available, and you'll now need to explain the truth about the sketch. If you still don't know the answer, Godot will do his very best to spell it out for you anyway: upside-down. Now, tell the court that this sketch by Larry is "a complete contra- diction" to proceed. What would be the contradiction, then? The sketch will be brought up, and you'll have to point out the contradicting portion. Point to either of the suspension wires to proceed. You'll be asked to show proof that the suspension wires are indeed the contradiction. When given the chance, present the Dusky Bridge photo - the wires on the sketch are above the guard wires, but those on the photo are below! Remember I told you about Larry's position in the Heavenly Hall? He has witnessed the transport of Misty's body across the fiery bridge, but he has done so when he was LYING ON HIS BACK. Therefore, whatever he saw was an upside-down image of the truth! Therefore, the body didn't "fly" across the bridge. Instead, it was swung across, below the bridge, like a pendulum. Godot then asks about the availability of a rope that's long enough to work as this pendulum. Show the bridge photo again to proceed - one of the suspension wires was severed, possibly during the lightning strike. As the bridge was already on fire, the killer was trapped. The severed wire was an opportunity that could not be refused, and so it was used as a pendulum to swing the body across the bridge. Next, you'll need to show proof that the body was indeed swung over like a pendulum. Show the crystal sphere to proceed - it was found at the exact place where the pendulum would swing to. However, due to the height differences on both sides of the banks of the bridge, the body "overswung". It then came loose and fell 10ft, which explains the bruises on the body. It was during this fall that the crystal sphere was knocked loose from the victim's staff. More questions now. If the body was indeed swung across the bridge, there must still be an accomplice to "receive" the body and plant it at the courtyard. When asked to identify this person, present Iris's profile - she was the only one who could do it that night, especially when Bikini was still suffering from a backache. However, if that was the case, why would Iris be so surprised about your pendulum theory? It seems that she has no idea whatsover about it. The only logical conclusion is that... she isn't Iris at all. So, who is she? Present Dahlia's profile to proceed - the spirit of Dahlia is now inhabiting the body of a spirit medium! You'll go on to explain to the court about crazy stuff like channeling, etc. I wonder who would believe you. Godot throws in an objection soon. Ever since Iris was arrested, she has been in police's custody. There wasn't any chance for her to "switch places" with the Dahlia-inhabited spirit medium. Tell him that "There was one..." when given the chance - remember the earthquake? Unfortunately, you'll have to "betray" your friend here. When the judge demands to know who allow Iris to move freely during the earth- quake, present Edgeworth's profile. Basically, when Edgeworth and you rushed to the Training Hall after the earthquake, the "Iris" you saw there was already Dahlia. And she makes no attempts to deny this fact anymore. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-1: TRIAL [ PW3827 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/10 Time: 1:06pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 7 Expect some fireworks in this section as a large portion of the truth to this case will be revealed. But first, there's still Dahlia's testimony to think about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S TESTIMONY: THE PLAN [ PW3828 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "...The whole plan began with my death." 2: "A stupid plan hatched by Morgan Fey to install her own daughter as the next Master." 3: "But for it to work... Maya Fey would first have to die." 4: "The idea was for me to kill Maya and then have the blame pinned on Iris." 5: "The plan went wrong... but it seems to have succeeded anyway." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DAHLIA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE PLAN [ PW3828 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To get through this cross-examination, you'll have to press every statement. As you do so, Morgan's plan to kill Maya will surface. However, you'll soon find that Dahlia despises the plan. In fact, she finds it "stupid". Now, if she finds the plan stupid, why would she still agree to it? She poses this question to you as an addition to her testimony: 6: "Do you understand why I would kill Maya Fey now? What my goal was?" Present Mia's profile to proceed - Dahlia hates Mia, but there's no way she could take revenge anymore because Mia is dead as well. So, she decided to help Morgan to kill Maya, so that she could take away the person that Mia loved most. How twisted can this person be? What follows next is a long, long scene in which Dahlia explains the events on the night of the crime. At about 9:30pm, she "returned to life". She dressed up as Iris, picked up her staff, and left Hazakura Temple. At the mention of the staff, you conclude that the person who channeled her then was none other than Misty. Next, when she found Maya at the Training Hall, she cornered her at the garden, and prepared to kill her with the dagger. However, at that moment, she felt that she was stabbed. She subsequently lost conciousness. Before she left Misty's body, she scribbled Maya's name on the stone lantern to cast suspicion on her. When she woke up, she was already in the cavern, locked by a trick lock. It took her some time to remove the lock, and by then, the police has already arrived. So, she locked herself back in the cavern. Then came the earthquake. Iris escaped from Edgeworth so that she could check the cavern. It was then that Dahlia came out of the cave, and locked Iris inside with the additional locks. At this point, Dahlia was convinced that it was Misty who summoned her, so she was extremely happy with the fact that Maya has (allegedly) killed her own mother. She then tells you that Maya must've committed suicide by jumping off the cliff into the Eagle River. This is when Godot's phone rings. Apparently, all the trick locks have been removed, and Iris was the only one in the cavern. As you lament the possible death of Maya, Godot reminds you that it's impossible for Maya to have jumped from the Inner Temple side of the bridge. You'll now be asked whether you've evidence to refute the claim that Maya jumped into the river. Show the Hazakura Temple map to proceed - there's a large rock shelf at the Inner Temple side of the cliff. Which means, if Maya did jump, her body would've appear in the after- fire Dusky Bridge photo. You must now point out the exact location of Maya. Choose "In this very courtroom" to proceed. I guess you know why, right? Someone must've channelled Dahlia's spirit again after she left Misty's body, and that someone must be... present Maya's profile to continue. Watch the next scenes as you explain why Maya did it. She must've done it to protect herself. If you remember from the previous game, a spirit that's channeled cannot hurt the medium that's channeling it. The next mystery is, Maya couldn't the intelligence to come out with this plan. Who helped her then? This is when Mia appears in court - she has been summoned by Pearl. Yes, Mia was the one who gave Maya the instructions to channel Dahlia's spirit. After the events at the garden, Maya woke up to find Dahlia gone. Fearing for her life, she wrote a memo on what happened, and channeled Mia's spirit. Upon reading the memo, Mia came out with the plan. She also instructed Maya to lock herself in the cavern. The above reveals a truth that Dahlia could not bear. Her spirit leaves after some struggle, and Maya is finally back to her oldself. Iris returns to the stand soon. As the judge is about to pronounce her not guilty, Godot objects and reminds you that the killer for Misty Fey (while channeling Dahlia's spirit) is still not found. The trial must go on, and he wants Maya to testify in court. Recess time, phew!. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/10 Time: 2:56pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Iris explains her part of the murder to you here. She admits that she was the "receiver" of Misty's body after it was swung over from the other side of the bridge. It was about 10:30pm that night when the killer called her on the cellphone. She also confirms that the victim's staff was still stuck on Misty's back when the body was swung over so as to limit the amount of blood spilling out. Take note of Iris's mention of the past, about the fake kidnapping, about Mia's/ Diego's follow-through of the case, and about Diego's death, etc. Victim's staff updated with new information. When you press for the identity of the real killer, Iris refuses to reveal it. Soon, the judge calls her away. Talk to Mia now, as she provides two important hints for you. By now, you should know who the real murderer is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-3: TRIAL [ PW3829 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/10 Time: 3:36pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 7 The blood analysis for the dagger has been completed. The result shows that the bloodstain on the dagger wasn't Misty's. Due to time constraints, however, they were unable to determine who the blood belongs to. Dagger updated in the Court Record. Maya will take the stand soon after. Let's begin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S TESTIMONY: AT THE INNER TEMPLE [ PW3830 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I was going to a spare prep room when it happened as I was passing through the garden." 2: "Suddenly, someone struck me over the head..." 3: "I stumbled... and ended up against the stone lantern." 4: "I think I screamed, 'Help me!'" 5: "Then, something warm splashed over me..." 6: "That's when... I lost consciousness." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AT THE INNER TEMPLE [ PW3830 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 4. Maya's pretty sure that she scremed. She thought it was her last hope. You can now choose to press further on some options. Choose "My last hope" to proceed. A new revelation will be presented. It seems that when Maya was attacked, she saw someone behind her attacker. She was therefore screaming at this person for help... ... which leads to the following addition to the testimony: 7: "I could see a man behind my attacker by the light of the stone lantern." Present the stone lantern here - it wasn't lit on the night of the crime. Now, Maya couldn't see who her attacker was, but she could clearly describe the person behind the attacker as a man. This means that Maya did see this person, who was obviously the killer. The question is, how? Well, there are some things that one can only see in the dark. Like, a visor, perhaps? You conclude that Maya is covering up for the killer because she knows this person. When asked to point out this person, present Godot's profile. You'll request the judge to turn off all lights in the courtroom. In pitch dark conditions, Godot's visor is shining like a sore thumb. This feels like Manfred von Karma all over again! Unfortunately, Maya shoots down your deductions. She now tells you that she thought that the person was a man for a totally different reason. Which means? More testimony, of course. You wouldn't expect the "final boss" of this game to be that easily defeat, would you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S TESTIMONY: THE KILLER [ PW3831 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "...When I came to, I was just lying there on the Training Hall floor." 2: "By the time I got back to the garden, the place had totally changed..." 3: "The torches were lit... And the body was gone." 4: "And all of the snow around the stone lantern had been carefully cleaned up, too." 5: "Since the person did all that work alone, I just assumed it was a man..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE KILLER [ PW3831 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll need to press a few statements in the following sequence: 3, 4 and 2. A series of questions will be raised about the killer's motive in tampering with the crime scene. Why would he want to move the body? Why did he remove all the snow around the stone lantern? This was when Maya replies that she felt that the killer was hiding the evidence for her sake. It's almost as if the killer was trying to clear whatever evidence that would implicate Maya as a murderer so as to protect her. This leads to an addition to the testimony. 6: "I think it was for my sake that they cleaned up any and all evidence of what happened. Present the stone lantern here - if everything was cleared so as not to get Maya involved in the case, why didn't the killer wipe away the most incriminating evidence? That is, the bloodstain with the name "Maya" written on the lantern? The answer is "The killer didn't notice it". So, who's the only person that couldn't see the bloody writing? It's "Godot", of course! Godot's eyesight has been giving him problems for quite some time. He can't see the color red on a white background. You go as far back the Tres Bien case, when Godot failed to see the ketchup stains on Maggey's apron, to prove your case. Further on, you'll also explain why all the snow around the lantern was removed. The killer couldn't see red on white background, so he was unsure which portion of the snow was stained with blood. The only way not to leave any bloodstains in the snow, therefore, would be to scoop all the snow away! Godot objects and says that the killer could be removing all the snow because it was dark, but you reject this claim by pointing to Maya's statement that the torches were already lit at that time. This is when Maya interrupts the proceedings. It seems that she's trying her best to shield Godot. I think you should know the reason - he's Diego Armando, afterall. Her persistence earns her another go at the testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S TESTIMONY: AFTER THE INCIDENT [ PW3832 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Pearly was also stuck on the Inner Temple side that night!" 2: "The next morning, she looked around, but couldn't find anyone." 3: "On the day after, when the bridge was finally fixed, she was in the square prep room." 4: "That's when Mr. Godot arrived at the Inner Temple for the first time!" 5: "He found Pearly first and cheered her right up!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AFTER THE INCIDENT [ PW3832 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 5 to find out that Godot carried out his own investigations after the bridge was repaired. Ask about "Godot's when given the chance. He replies that there's nothing of note. However, he does comment on the beautiful painting of Misty Fey. With this, you can return to 4, and present the hanging scroll. After the bridge is repaired, the painting has already been "defaced" by Pearl. If he was only there at the Inner Temple for the first time then, he couldn't have know that the painting was for Misty. Therefore, you believe that he knew the plan to kill Maya beforehand, and he hid at the Inner Temple before even the murder occured. Godot objects, saying that your deductions are based on the assumption that he knew the plan beforehand. When asked if it's possible for someoe to know of Morgan's plan beforehand, present the burnt letter - when Pearl found the letter, it has already been opened. Which means, someone must've read the contents, and understood the plan. You then accuse Godot of using his position as a prosecutor to eaves- drop the conversation between Morgan and Pearl at the detention center. This was how he knew of the location of the letter that contained the plan. Godot objects further, claiming that he has no motive to protect Maya, whom he doesn't know personally. Finally, it's time reveal his ident- ity. There's one person that ties him to Maya, and the person is... present Mia's profile to proceed. Godot = Diego Armando. Watch now as he explains what happened to him after he was poisoned by Dahlia five years ago. He went into a coma, and only woke up this year. The poison also caused him his to lose his eyesight, and his hair turned white. He found that Mia is dead, and he blames it on you for not protecting her. This explains his tough attitude towards you throughout this game. This was why he became a prosecutor, so that he can take you on. After the Turner Grey murder last year, he knew that Morgan still intends to kill Maya. So, he used his position as a prosecutor to find out her plans. There's still a whole bunch of explanation to go from here, so keep clicking through to find out more. I won't spell them all out, since I'm typing this now on company's time! But they're all pretty much predictable at this stage. Godot even explains how he got hold of Misty, which sounds just a tad too convenient. After the long conversation, Godot admits that he was hiding at the Inner Temple, but he didn't kill Misty. So, you'll have one more testimony from Maya to tackle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S TESTIMONY: THE TIME OF THE MURDER [ PW3833 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "...Just before it happened, I think I saw some red lights." 2: "I thought I'd ask for help, but... just then I was splattered with blood!" 3: "She wasn't dead though... And she struck back at the enemy behind her." 4: "Suddenly, the red lights went out and the whole area was dark." 5: "...Just at that moment, there was a horrible scream!" 6: "Right after that... Dahlia collapsed and I lost consciousness." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAYA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE TIME OF THE MURDER [ PW3833 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This time, Maya is telling the truth. Press at 1, and then choose to "Press harder" when prompted. After this, press at 5 - Maya will remember that the person who screamed was a man. This is when Maya suggests that Dahlia (Misty) must've fought back against the killer with the cane-sword, but the killer snatched the weapon from her and stabbed her instead. When given the chance, reply that "There's a contradiction" to Maya's deduction - before Dahlia fought back, Maya has already felt blood splattered onto her. This means that Dahlia was already stabbed before she retaliated. If that's the case, the cane-sword must be already plunged into her back then. YOu'll now have to tell the court which is the real weapon that Dahlia used to attack the killer. Present the dagger to proceed - it's the only logical choice. The killer must've been wounded, and the blood on the dagger must've belonged to the killer. Godot insists that the blood isn't his. Maya then throws out an objection - if Godot was stabbed, where's his wound? The moment of truth has finally arrived. When asked where the wound is, show Godot's profile - the wound is still on him, underneath his visor. Super long scenes follow. You'll even find out that the "Dahlia" who has been your girlfriend six years ago was partially acted out by Iris! Anyway, there's nothing to do anymore now except to watch the scenes until the end. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2/10 Time: 4:51pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 And so, it's all over. Enjoy the ending - I'll leave it to you to go through those very long conversations. Midway through the scenes, you'll need to explain why Maya is so cheerful despite experiencing such a traumatic experience. Present Pearl's profile to proceed. As the credits roll, you'll see the ending of some of the characters in the game. Even Wendy Oldbag makes an appearance with her ray gun. I'm just so happy that Gumshoe is finally with Maggey. :) Little did I expect that, two months after this case, Phoenix would lose his attorney's badge... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BRIDGE TO THE TURNABOUT: END ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "When you eliminate the impossible... whatever remains, no matter how improbable... must be the truth." - Sherlock Holmes ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 9. CONCLUSION ====================================================================== There's nothing much I can say about this game, except that it's the best in the series. To me, at least. I think it'll be difficult to find another adventure game/ series that could draw such a strong emotion from me. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who've written to me over the past two years about this series. In times when the going got tough, these were the emails that kept me going. Last but not least, With the trilogy done and dusted, what remains next is a new attorney in the next game. Let's hope we'll see Apollo Justice (in English, please) soon, then. ====================================================================== ====================================================================== APPENDIX 1.
