Stop bugging me that you can't find something in this walkthrough. =========================================================================== ~1.The Gyakuten Saiben Series~ =========================================================================== Phoenix Wright obviously didn't originate in America, nor did any other video game you've probably played. In Japan, the Phoenix Wright series is known as Gyakuten Saiben. This roughly translates into "Turnabout Court". If you were curious why every case is named Turnabout ____ then that is the answer. The GS series contains four games so far. The first three in the series were actually GBA games, and the fourth one is for the DS. If you are curious why there is little touch screen interaction it is because Capcom decided to put the GBA Gyakuten Saiben series on the DS in America. Not that it's a bad thing. The title was also changed outside of Japan, from "Turnabout Court" to "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney; Justice For All". Several minor things also changed during the translation from Japan to States side. Gyakuten Saiben takes place in Tokyo while Phoenix Wright is speculated to take place in Los Angeles. Although it is not confirmed, several notions in the game make it apparent that Phoenix Wright takes place in California. Also, some pictures within the game were switched from Japanese inscriptions into English. However, some Japanese writing can still be found if you know where to look. Remember one last thing-Japanese law is different than America's law. Don't be confused under the "guilty until proven innocent" ordeal, it's not a big deal. Also, this game takes place in 2017. Hence the possibility of these laws actually being true. As a side note, I STILL have no idea why the hell every picture is in black and white. I guess everyone's color blind in the future or something. =========================================================================== ~2.Controls~ =========================================================================== The controls for Phoenix Wright are pretty simple. You'll get used to them quickly. A button-Scroll through text that characters are saying, confirm option, look at details of evidence and profiles B button-Back out of a selection, hold to skip through text quickly X button-Push this when highlighting evidence to present it Y button-Hold this and yell into the microphone when presenting evidence (more fun than just pressing the X button) Control Pad-Scroll through all selections L button-Press statement (only in the courtroom), pan screen left/right (only during Investigation when an area has more than one screen. To see it you must scroll to see the rest by pressing L) R button-Brings up the court record Start-Brings up the menu to save your game Note:Some of these controls are only availble inside court, and others only outside of it. Most of them coincide, however. =========================================================================== ~3.Events In and Out of Court~ =========================================================================== Phoenix will have to do many things inside and outside of the courtroom in order to prove his clients are innocent. Through these events he will uncover the truth, pick out who really did the crime, gather evidence, and meet many unusual characters. ---------------- Outside of Court ---------------- INVESTIGATION-This is what the entire process outside of court is. Phoenix will stroll around different key areas in the city in his investigation. Once you have learned all the necessary information and have retrieved all the evidence possible, the investigation will end and court will begin (after the chance to save your progress). There are several different things you will be able to do on your investigations. MOVE-Pretty self explainatory. Phoenix will have to go to many different locations on his investigations. Select move to bring up a list of places you can visit. Note that many areas branch off into different areas. For example, pressing move will bring up Area A and Area B. However, you can only visit Area C by moving in Area B. Don't overlook that detail. TALK-In many areas there will be a person you are able to talk to. Once you select this option, several boxes will appear with topics you can talk to the person about. Once you talk to them about said topic it will have a red checkmark appear next to it so you don't confuse yourself. Many people, especially key witnesses and even the real killer, won't have every topic possible to talk to them about listed right away. You will need to pry the options out of them by either talking to them about previous topics, or get some dirt from other people in the overworld. Sometimes when you try talking about a subject Psyche Locks will appear. The subject will then have a lock symbol next to it. If you want to hear the subject you must first use the Magatama to break the Psyche Locks. PRESENT-If you are infront of a person you can choose this to examine the evidence you have collected so far. From there you can choose an item to show the person you are talking to. If the person tells you something along the lines of "What is that?", "I have no business with that item" and so on then the item in question isn't going to get you anywhere with that person. Some items when presented will make the person confess to secrets they have been hiding. Other times they will hand you more evidence, or even allow you to ask them about more topics. Don't freak out-there's no penalty for wasting someone's time. Present things often if you are stuck as it may unlock something new for you to continue. EXAMINE-In every area there is a scene. Obviously. Many of the areas you visit will have something odd there. Sometimes its an item that just doesn't fit in with the rest of the scenery, sometimes it isn't as obvious and you will need to look everything over. Once again, if you are ever out of options, return to areas you have visited and examine every detail you are capable of looking at. You may just find a vital piece of evidence or clue that can help you along your way. PSYCHE LOCKS-Partway through case 2 you will recieve the Magatama, a mystical item that will alert you when people are trying to hide secrets from you. You can easily tell this when you ask a witness about a subject, then the background grows black and a ton of chains and locks appear over the witness. This indicates a Psyche Lock sequence must take place before you learn anything else about the subject. To start the Magatama Secret sequence, present the Magatama when you see the person have Psyche Locks over them. The more Psyche Locks that appear on the subject, the harder it will be to make them reveal their secret. During the Magatama Secret sequence, the person will ask you questions such as "What connects me to this scene", "Who should you really be defending", like that. You'll need to present evidence to answer their questions. Do so correctly and you will move on to the next questions, possibly destroying one or more Psyche Locks along the way. When you've unlocked them all, half of your health bar will be restored and you can ask about the hidden secret topic now. Remember, if you present wrong evidence you will lose 1/10th of your health bar. Also, sometime you will need to collect more evidence before you can complete a Magatama sequence. Don't always think you MUST beat it on the first go, because rarely that is ever true. --------------- Inside of Court --------------- TESTIMONY-Whenever a witness is called to the stand by the prosecution, the witness will recount the events specific to the case in a testimony. Your objective is to find parts of the testimony that contradict evidence you have or statements already mentioned in the past. You won't be able to object here, so just pay attention until the testimony is finished. CROSS EXAMINATION-Phoenix, as a defense attorney, will need to cross examine the witnesses on their testimonies after they finish saying them. Your main objective here is, of course, to find the one mistake that the witness places in their testimony and expose their lies. You can scroll through any line of text said in the testimony, forwards or backwards. Once you find the spot where there is a clear contradiction you will need to present evidence supporting your theory. However, if you present the wrong evidence or present it at the wrong statement in the testimony, the Judge will become angered at your attempt to frame the witness and penalize you. On the top right corner of the DS screen you should notice that you have a health bar. More on that in a lower paragraph. PRESSING-On the top-left side of the touch screen you will see a "Press" button. During a testimony you can press any and all statements that the witness says. After Phoenix yells "Hold it!" he will question the witness further on what they just said. Sometimes you will find contradictions right away from pressing statements. This will cause the witness to revise that statement of the testimony. Occasionally you will have to make choices when pressing. The available options appear on the bottom screen. Usually it is "Press further" and "Back off". Pressing further can cause the witness to reveal something that will seriously benefit your case, or completely shatter your hopes and open mind the Judge into coming closer to calling the defendent Guilty. Pressing statements will never deal you penalties, however in a few rare circumstances they actually will. In these cases you will be warned beforehand that you will get penalized. Don't play with fire if you can't afford to be burned. PRESENTING-The most important part of your cross examination is presenting the right evidence to expose the lies thrown in the witness' testimonies. Push R or tap the Court Record button to bring up the Court Record. Here is where all the evidence and important info for the case is kept. Push the Profiles button to see a bio on everybody currently involved in the case. When you select a piece of evidence you wish to present, highlight it and press the Present button of push the X button. Phoenix will yell his famous "OBJECTION!" line, or in some cases "TAKE THAT!". During testimonies, you will know you presented the right evidence if the music stops playing. If it continues, expect to be penalized. HEALTH BAR-New to Justice For All is the replacement of the simple five "!" marks with a regular health bar. The health bar is split into ten segments. If you lose all of your health, it's an instant game over when you are in court. You can lose health outside of court as well through Magatama sequences. If you lose all of your health outside of court, nothing major happens but you will be forced to repeat the Magatama sequence you failed. You can lose health a variety of ways in court. If you present wrong evidence, you lose 2/10ths health. Whenever you are asked to backup a statement, presenting wrong evidence will take off health as well, usually between 1-3 pieces of it. Worst of all, you can't refill the bar normally. You will restore five segments when you complete a Magatama sequence. Basically, don't screw yourself in court. You're not getting health back at any time you are in court. =========================================================================== ~4.Characters~ =========================================================================== Justice For All has a wide variety of wierd and wacky characters, along with a few (insane) killers. Several of these characters you should already know from playing the first Phoenix Wright, and the rest you will meet along the way in your cases. Most of them have an important background that will usually get called to attention in court, to keep them in mind! Phoenix Wright-The main character and Ace Attorney himself, Phoenix has earned his status by clearing his clients from seemingly impossible cases, and defeating Edgeworth in court, who was known to have a perfect win streak up until he met Wright. Phoenix also brought down legendary prosecutor Manfred von Karma, a complete perfectionist in every sense of the word. Phoenix has a decent amount of friends, most of whom refer to him by "Nick". Phoenix generally believes in his client all the way through the trial and will go to the farthest reachs in order to prove his clients innocent. Maya Fey-Maya is Mia's little sister. She started to accompany Phoenix on his cases soon after Mia died in the first game. She continues to help out Phoenix as well in Justice for All, but for the most part she's unable to do so either because she's being put on trial herself or has been kidnapped. She's a really sweet girl, though, and attempts to put some humor into these cases. Maya is also a spirit medium, capable to channeling dead spirits into her body temporarily. She does this occasionally to have Mia converse with Phoenix. Mia Fey-Mia was Phoenix's mentor until she was brutally killed in the first game. Since then she has made appearences in Maya's body when the case is near impossible for Phoenix. She will appear again quite often in Justice For All to help you, but this time she's going to be more vague. Yeah, that helps a lot in court. At leats she's a nice woman for the most part. Detective Dick Gumshoe-Making a grand return from the first game, Detective Gumshoe is back again. His main purpose on the police first is, obviously, investigate the case. Gumshoe isn't the smartest brick on the block, though, often making small errors in his work and leaving small details out of important descriptions. Despite this he's an awesome character, and usually is the first one to speak in court, by giving the breif overview of the case. You'll grow to love Gumshoe if you haven't already played the first game. Maggey Byrde-Maggey is your client in the first case of the game. She has been known most of her life to have insanely bad luck, and he current situation adds to her reputation. This police officer was dating another police officer, Dustin Prince, for several months. When Dustin was mysteriously killed, the blame for his death was pinned on Maggey. Richard Wellington-Richard is the first witness in the first case, and he will testify on how he's positive that Maggey was the one who killed Dustin Prince. Richard is the typical egoistic rich man if you couldn't tell by the way he dresses, and his blonde hair. He's also got a scarf which he chokes himself with when under pressure. He has a knack for convienently leaving out really important details, making his testimonies slightly easier to break. Dustin Prince-Dustin was dating Maggey Byrde for several months before being killed one mysterious night. Like Maggey, he was a police officer and was apparently a big baseball fanatic. His murderer was suspected to be Maggey herself. Winston Payne-Payne is once again the opening case's prosecutor. He's an old man and easily isn't a good prosecutor. Just listen to his girly objection voice! Payne will always have little to add to any discussion, paving the way for an easy first case. The Judge-The Judge is still the head of the court, and ultimately decides if the defendant will be innocent or guilty. The Judge isn't too bright, much like Gumshoe, and his opinion is easily swayed by threatening people or woman who try flirting with him in court. Despite that, and usually being several steps behind the current reasoning and explainations in court, the Judge will just keep the trial flowing smoothly until the end. Doctor Grey-He is the owner of his own doctoring clinic. During one medical procedure, fourteen of his patients were killed during a slight error. Grey quickly blamed a nurse working with him to save his own name. Shortly after the incident, that nurse was killed in a car accident. Still trying to repair his reputation, he wishes to channel the spirit of his nurse to clear his name. However, Grey ends up getting killed while having Maya channel the spirit. Ini Miney-Ini is the sister of Mimi Miney, the nurse who was working with Doctor Grey on the day of the accident. She is totally spaced out constantly, and if you do get her attention she will, like, totally, like, start like talking something like this. There's something odd about her personality though, and that's something you will have to figure out for yourself in the case. Mimi Miney-Mimi was the nurse working with Doctor Grey during the incident that killed fourteen people. All the blame was put on her and she escaped the clinic with her car, but soon was killed when she crashed. Her spirit was attempted to be channeled by Maya by request of Doctor Grey. Grey was killed during this channeling. Pearl Fey-Pearl is Maya's younger cousin. She's a real sweetheart, but is shy due to her mother preventing her from pretty much any contact with the outside world. When Maya is unable to aid Phoenix, Pearl will take her place. Her spirit channeling powers aren't as strong as Maya's, but she will still be able to occasionally channel Mia from time to time. Pearl is still a sweet partner to have following you around. Morgan Fey-Morgan is Pearl's mother and Maya's aunt. She's an incredibly strict person, and hates how Maya is soon going to be the new leader of the Kurain Village. Morgan has no spiritual abilities at all, though, but she does know as much about spirit channeling as Maya does. Franziska von Karma-Phoenix battled Manfred von Karma in case 4 in the first game, and smoked him into the ground. Now his daughter Franziska is out for revenge. She has been a prosecutor since the young age of 13 and has been living in Germany most of her life. Like her father, she is also a total perfectionist and has a perfect win record in court, at least until she faces off against Phoenix. Russell Berry-Russell is the ringmaster of the Berry Big Circus. He has a young daughter, Regina, who has lived in the circus her entire life. Russell also took in Acro and Bat when they were young, abondoned by their parents. His goal was to make the circus seem like a big family. After a conversation with Max Galactica, Russel was killed and his body was stuffed awkwardly into a box. Max was the alleged killer. Max Galactica-Max is a famous magician in the Berry Big Circus. He is totally into his persona, constantly showing off his magic tricks to everyone in the circus. He's actually a really emotional guy. He also won an award at the Magician's Grand Prix. He's been a magician for several years. After a conversation with Russel Berry one night, Russel was killed. His murder was pinned on Max. Max's real name, Billy Bob Johns, refers to his origin in the countryside. He is also crazy in love with Regina. Regina Berry-This 16 year old is the lion tamer in the Berry Big Circus, and is the daughter of Russel Berry. Because of her age, several men are in love with her. Due to a bet she made with Bat, her lion Leon accidentally chomped on Bat, sending him into a coma. Regina, who has been raised with the circus her entire life, doesn't really understand why he won't wake up. She has a similar cluelessness to most things outside of the circus just like Pearl. Although most people like and respect her, Acro has a serious hatred for Regina. Moe the Clown-Moe is the clown for the Berry Big Circus. He fitfully laughs at his own jokes (something NO comedian should ever do, little protip there), and tries packing humor into almost every other statement he makes. His full name is Moe Lawrence Curls, a blatant refrence to the three stooges. Moe has lived with the circus for most of his life, and was also a witness to the incident that put Bat into a coma several months ago. Ben and Trilo-Ben is a ventriloquist, and Trilo is his puppet. An odd character, Ben does very little talking, letting all of his words come out of Trilo's mouth. Trilo is mean to most people in the circus with the exception of Regina who he's in love with (or is it Ben that's in love with her...?). Either way, you rarely see Ben without Trilo, and Ben rarely speaks his own mind. Acro-Acro is a former acrobat at the Berry Big Circus. At the time you meet him he will be in a wheelchair, paralyzed for the most part. He has a deep hatred of Regina, due to the bet she made with Bat a while back. Acro didn't know Regina thought it was nothing serious, so when he saw her shove off the fact his brother was in a coma, Acro grew to hate Regina. This soon led to the events of the third case. Acro was taken in by Russel Berry when he was a kid, and looks to him as a father. Bat-Bat is Acro's younger brother. He used to be part of the acrobat act in the Berry Big Circus, but has been in a coma for several months due to an accident with Regina's lion. He becomes a critical character within the third case, despite being hospitalized. Matt Engarde-Your client in the final case. He's charged with murdering Juan Corrida. Matt is a mostly independant guy, contacting his managers constantly for answers to pretty much anything. He doesn't really care what happens to himself. However, the real Matt Engarde is a cunning tactician that places his faith in no one. You'll understand his dual personality as you play the case. Matt plays the Nickel Samurai, which was made soon after the Steel Samurai was cancelled. Juan Corrida-Juan plays as the Jammin' Ninja, a show aimed for kids much like the Nickel Samurai. Apparently, Juan and Matt were rivals at almost everything they did involving each other. They did their best to outdo the other. Juan was supposedly killed by Matt Engarde, perhaps out of jelousy. Will Powers-Will played as the former Steel Samurai, but is still an actor at heart. He helps Phoenix with general information through the fourth case and testifies against Matt Engarde, backing up the claim he killed Juan Corrida. Adrian Andrews-Adrian is Matt Engarde's manager. She entered the entertainment business at a similar time Celeste Inpax did, and she soon became Adrain's mentor. Celeste was dumped by Juan Corrida, and unable to ease herself she committed suicide. Adrain was so distraught at her mentor killing herself that she almost committed suicide as well. She isn't big with idle talk, only speaking important things and commenting on critical subjects. Shelly de Killer-Shelly is a professional assassin. There isn't much known about this man because his face is rarely seen. His primary mode of communication is relying on a radio transciever. He also leaves cards with a seashell on it near his victims. Miles Edgeworth-After a yearlong hiatus from being a prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth makes a well welcomed return (for the fans at least) in the final case. He isn't as ruthless as he was before, and actually helps out Phoenix during the investigation scenes. He's still formidable in court, so watch out for him there. =========================================================================== ~5.Episode One-The Lost Turnabout~ =========================================================================== =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 1-1 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ The introduction to this case start with Phoenix seemingly running from something, and his adversary yelling that he can't escape. Phoenix appears on a cliff, with a huge shadow of the Judge coming closer and closer. The Judge lifts his gavel and slams it on Phoenix... ---------------------------------------------- Date-September 8, 9:08 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1 ---------------------------------------------- The same eerie organ music that was playing during Phoenix's dream is playing again-this time on Phoenix's phone. He thinks his phone caused his nightmare. He answers the phone, but the other person already hung up. Then some crazy guy around the corner mutters that he "found it", then whacks Phoenix on the head with a fire extinguisher. That's one creepy guy. And a stupid looking one. Several minutes later, Phoenix recovers (and those guards three feet away saw nothing?) and is staring at a young girl. Phoenix is clueless who this girl is, and why she is so cheerful. You'll find out her name is Maggey Byrde from the Court Record. She retells her story on how you decided to take on her case not long ago. Phoenix then tries to remember who he is and fails. Horribly. He then concludes he has amnesia (no...really?), he must be a defense attorney, and that he has to prove whoever that girl was not guilty. ---------------------------------------- Date-September 8, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Now court is in session for the trial of Maggey Byrde. Prosecutor Payne is back in action for the first case. Not that it matters since he isn't a very interesting prosecutor. From here on I will put the answers you should respond the questions in quotations, making them easier to see. The Judge will ask if you are ready. Answer "Yes" since you should be. The Judge will retell that the defendant is a member of the police force, so this trial will be quick and swift. Payne will begin now begin by saying that the defendant is accused of killing her lover. To make matters worse, he was also a police officer. Maggey is irritated she's being called a killer even though she says she didn't kill her lover, Dustin. Payne will call Detective Dick Gumshoe to the stand now. Gumshoe is the detective in charge of homicides and other various crimes. He isn't feeling so well since Maggey looked up to him as a trainee, so Gumshoe just feels awkward to be trying to prove someone so loyal guilty of murder. Payne will ask Gumshoe to describe the details of the murder. The murder happened near the police headquarters in Expose Park. The victim was one of the police officers, Dustin Prince. Dustin was shoved off a ledge on the top of a balcony. Despite being a short fall, the landing snapped his neck and injured most of his body. The injury was so severe that he died soon after. Phoenix mutters he didn't get a copy of the autopsy report. Actually, you have one. It's in the Court Record. Dustin died a 6:28 PM from his broken neck. Gumshoe comments that when Dustin hit the ground the impact destroyed his watch, stopping it. The time or death was easy to document from this. The autopsy results also backed up the evidence. Payne also submits the picture where Dustin is lying on the ground dead. CRIME PHOTO 1 will be added to the Court Record. In the Court Record you can look at this picture again at any time, so feel free to do so if you need to. The Judge also mentions that a critical piece of evidence was found under the victim's body. Of course, he doesn't remember what it was. Maggey will help you through this if you haven't played the original Phoenix Wright. To open up the Court Record either press the R button of tap the Court Record button on the top-right corner of the touch screen. The Judge wants to make sure you know what item you have in the Court Record that was recieved earlier today. Choose "Glasses", the only other critical item in the Court Record at the moment. Gumshoe explains that the victim grabbed the criminal's glasses as he was being shoved off of the balcony. He held onto them as he fell onto the ground, where they promptly shattered. Maggey explains to Phoenix that the glasses found at the crime scene weren't her's. If you look at the glasses Maggey is wearing right now, despite it being a spare pair, they look totally different. Payne continues to say that he has decisive evidence. The Judge orders Gumshoe to testify on the evidence. --------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Decisive Evidence~ --------------------------------------- -There's something even more incriminating than the glasses under the victim's body, sir. -During his date, the victim was pushed from the bench area. -But he managed to write the culprit's name on the ground where he landed. -I don't like saying it, but it was clearly the defendant's name "Maggie", sir. -With this piece of evidence and the glasses, it's hard to say she's not the culprit. Well, this looks troubling. Before you can cross examine, Payne submits the picture where Dustin is writing Maggey's name into the sand. CRIME PHOTO 2 will be added to the Court Record. Maggey quickly explains how you are supposed to cross examine witness's. You need to press the statements of the witness testifying for more clues on their testimony. Eventually you will hit a contradiction, where a piece of evidence or another statement in the testimony disagrees with the statement you are looking at. At such a time you want to present evidence proving the contradiction. You must expose their lies for all their worth! If you reach the end of the testimony, Maggey will ask you if you're going to pull off that special move. Choose "Enlighten me" to learn more. There's a new addition to contradicting in Justice For All. You can now present profiles if needed. Now, when cross examining you can choose to press a statement to get the witness to reveal more details about it. This may lead to them revealing a severe contradiction, changing or adding a line of testimony too. This time around the contradiction is right in the open. At Gumshoe's fourth statement he talks about how the defendant's name "Maggie" was written into the sand. Yeah, if you've been paying any attention you should know that her name is spelled "Maggey", not "Maggie". This actually catches so many people off since not many realise you can present profiles. Present Maggey Byrde's profile here. Phoenix explains that the name in the sand isn't the same name as the defendant due to a spelling error. Ohhh, blatant contradiction. The Judge will ask Gumshoe to revise his testimony in light of this error. --------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Dustin and Maggey~ --------------------------------------- -Officer Prince and Officer Byrde had been going out for about half a year. -It sounded like they were even talking about marriage. -The day of the incident just happened to be the victim's birthday, sir. -Maggey...I mean, Officer Byrde, had gotten Officer Prince a present. -It was something she had gotten over 2 months ago. -I should know, 'cause she came to me to ask what she should get for him. There's no flat out contradiction right now, so you must start pressing statement. Press by hitting the "press" button or tapping L. Start by pressing the fifth statement, about how Gumshoe knows she got something for Prince two months ago. Gumshoe will reveal that Maggey got him a baseball glove. Officer Prince was a huge baseball fan. Choose to "Press further" when asked. It turns out this glove was custom made. Maggey ordered the glove over two months ago. The Judge will agree with Payne that this line of questioning seems rather pointless. Choose "Of course it's relevant". Phoenix thinks that glove is the key to the whole case. Gumshoe states that he happens to have the glove with him right here, right now. The BASEBALL GLOVE will be added to the Court Record. The glove is yellow since Dustin loved that color. Maggey also says there was another reason she had to custom order the glove. The Judge now questions if the victim really wrote the name into the sand or not. Gumshoe will be asked to testify more into this matter. ------------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Writing on the Ground~ ------------------------------------------- -We first looked into the handwriting. -Unfortunately, we couldn't confirm that it was the victim's handwriting. -Next, we checked the victim's pointer finger. -We found that there was sand trapped under the victim's fingernail. -There were also scratches on the skin that were caused by him writing on the ground. -From this, we could confirm that the victim wrote this name with his right hand. You won't get much information from pressing. If you press the sixth and final statement, Phoenix thinks some evidence can contradict that statement. Maggey then says that something about the present might help. That's all the help you need, since the two go together well. Present the Baseball Glove at the last statement. There's two things special about the glove. Firstly, it's real yellow. Yeah. Second, the glove was made for a left-handed person. Phoenix will ask again which hand the victim used to write Maggey's name into the sand. The right hand. But there's a problem there. Dustin was left handed. Phoenix claims that the victim would not have been able to write that neatly with his right hand, especially since it's not his dominant hand and he was so close to death. Thusly, someone else must have written the name. The Judge also agrees with your reasoning. It seems Maggey is off the hook, but Payne objects before the decision is made. It turns out the prosecution has another witness. Payne states that the witness saw the moment the victim was pushed to his death, and caught the face of the culprit. The Judge will call a recess in spite of recent events. Save the game when prompted. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 1-2 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-September 8, 11:43 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1 ---------------------------------------------- Phoenix explains to Maggey that he apparently has amnesia. She suggests having her kick Phoenix in the head to boost his memory, but that seems a little too violent. She also explains she tries to stick her business into everyone else's problems. Anyways, Phoenix asks Maggey to explain several details to him. First, Phoenix confirms his name. Heh. Maggey will gladly give back Phoenix's business card. The number on the back is Phoenix's cell phone number. PHOENIX'S BUSINESS CARD will be added to the Court Record. Phoenix then asks for any other important information. She mentions an incident with a cell phone. She goes back over the details. On the day of the crime, just before 6 PM, she picked up a lost cell phone whilst on a walk with Dustin. You will here the cell phone. Sounds a bit familar, doesn't it? Like, say, Phoenix's cell phone? The phone rang and Maggey answered it. The person on the other end lost the phone. Maggey says that they should meet up. She gives her name over the phone. They agreed to meet at 6 PM, but the mysterious person never showed up. The phone was given to you yesterday. Phoenix isn't sure if this is important or not to the case. Just then, someone bursts into the lobby screaming at the top of their lungs. Haha, it's just Maya, your trusty companion from the previous game. She's the sister of Mia Fey, your old mentor in case you forgot. Phoenix doesn't reconize her, but luckily Maggey greets her by her name for you. Maya says that she has ultra-super important evidence. Phoenix wanted her to bring a list of people. There's about 20 names on the list with their phone numbers written down. She goes on to say that a there is a group of con artists that the police are currently investigating. She thinks these people are members of that group. NAMES LIST will be added to the Court Record. These numbers were found in the phone that Maggey found. Before much else can occur, court is back in session. ---------------------------------------- Date-September 8, 11:54 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Before Payne brings in the next witness, he warns the Judge that he has an egoistic nature that may rub off onto people the wrong way. He says the witness was just a random passerby in the park on the day of the murder. Hmm. This guy looks just like the wierd guy shown in the opening cutscene. Maybe, maybe not. This guy then starts ranting about how many universities he's attended and how Payne's offending him by not bringing the court's attention to him properly. He says he is Richard Wellington, just a "drifter", insulting Payne clearly. He orders Wellington to testify what he was doing in the park on the day of the murder. -------------------------------------------- ~Wellington's Testimony-What I Saw That Day~ -------------------------------------------- -I was at the park all afternoon, deep in thought about my life situation. -I don't remember the time all that well, but I do believe it was past 6 PM. -All of a sudden, a police officer falls from above, right infront of my eyes. -Without a thought, I looked up, and there I met the eyes of a charming, young lady. -Of course I remember her sweet face. It was that of the pretty defendant there. -The only thing I saw was the banana that fell with the police officer. Hmm. The only statement that seems odd would be the last one, about the falling banana. It could be the baseball glove we recieved earlier, since it DOES resemble a group of bananas. Press him at this statement. He is certain he saw something resemble bananas fall down the balcony. Now it should be obvious to present the Baseball Glove at this statement. Wellington will confirm that those are the bananas, but Phoenix will put out that it was a baseball glove, not bananas. Wellington freaks out for a moment, then Phoenix will need to state something. Choose "has bad eyesight". Wellington states that his eyesight isn't completely perfect, and that he isn't wearing any glasses today. He says the he lost his glasses recently. He was planning on getting new ones soon, though. Phoenix pokes Wellington even more and clearly shows that the witness wasn't wearing any glasses when he saw the murder. Thusly, the woman he saw at the crime scene easily may not have been the defendant. The Judge will ask for a new testimony to describe what happened soon after the incident. ------------------------------------------- ~Wellington's Testimony-What Happened Next~ ------------------------------------------- -The girl on the upper path ran away as soon as she realized I was there. -After that, I immediately called the police station to report the crime. -It must have been 6:45 PM when I made the call. -They must have a lot of free time on their hands since they showed up within 10 minutes. Well, the only way to get any contradictory information from this is to start pressing. Press his second statement about how he called the police after seeing the incident. He says that there may have been about a minute between when he saw the incident and called the police, but that's it. Now press the third statement. He says he knows the time because Gumshoe told him. Hmm. Something just isn't right. The autopsy report says Dustin was killed at 6:28 PM, and Wellington didn't call for a full 17 minutes. That isn't "immediately" by any standards. Present Dustin's Autopsy Report at the second statement. The questioning of this gap makes Wellington panic. Payne tries interfering but to no avail. Something is really wrong with the 17 minute gap. He says that he was searching for a telephone booth during the 17 minute gap. He then goes on to say that he lost his cell phone. Phoenix gets an idea, and Maya agrees that perhaps the phone Maggey found belongs to Wellington. Choose to "Question further". When asked, Wellington will whip out his phone, claiming he has found it. The Judge will then ask if you have any other questions. Choose "There is something..." since there must be more to this explaination. He says that there would be no reason at all to search for a phone booth. Payne will demand proof that there was no need to search for a phone booth. Present Crime Photo 1. If you inspect it, there was a phone booth just severeal feet from Dustin's body! It's true. All Wellington needed to do was take a few steps and he would have been in a phone booth. Not exactly 17 minutes worth of searching to me. Since the 17 minute gap is still in play, there's enough reason to claim this testimony fraudulous. Maya thinks that the phone you have really is his. But did he kill Dustin just to get his phone back? If Wellington wasn't looking for his cell phone during the time gap, what was he looking for? Choose "Yes, I have an idea" when asked if you can explain this time gap. So, what piece of evidence shows that the witness didn't call the police right away? It doesn't seem very obvious, and you'd probably figure it out eventually with a little guessing (and a lot of lost health), but present the Glasses. Phoenix demands to know if those were Wellington's glasses or not. He spills it, stammering where you found them. These glasses are in fact his. They were found crushed under the victim's body. So, how did they get to be there, exactly? As Dustin fell, he grabbed onto Wellington's glasses. He knew that Wellington would have to search for them, and what he didn't realize was that they were under Dustin's body the entire time. That's why it took so long for him to make the phone call. The Judge will ask if you are implying that Wellington is the real murderer. Um, duh? Who else could it be at this point? Turns out the cell phone was the key to this case the whole time. Payne still thinks your accusations are wild. Wellington will get a chance to explain why he can't be the murderer. He will ask about the name written, the one spelled out "Maggie". All Wellington does is imply that the real murderer personally wrote out the victim's name. Then, wouldn't the real criminal have to know the defendant? Could there be a way he knew her name before the trial? Answer "There was a way". You will need to present evidence showing Wellington knew Maggey's name before the trial. Present the Cell Phone. Phoenix will restate that Wellington lost his phone. In order to find it, Phoenix guesses he called the cell phone to find out who had it. He breaks down, wondering how you knew this. There must be a connection between the lost cell phone and this murder. The cell phone conversation will replay, showing that whoever called asked for Maggey's name, and she gave it away. Through this phone conversation Wellington must have heard Maggey's name. The big mistake he made was that it was spelled Maggey, not Maggie. This error could only be made if the name was heard! However, we still don't know what Wellington's motive is. He wouldn't kill someone without a motive. To prove he had a motive, present the Names List of the people in the con artist's group. This list of numbers was stored in the cell phone's memory. The very phone Maggey picked up. Why were these numbers on Wellington's phone? Now you will be asked why he has the numbers of all these con artists on his phone. Answer that he is "a member of that group." All of his friends are stored on his phone. That's why he had to kill, to hide these numbers. Payne will come in and ask why, if all Wellington had to do was meet Maggey and pick up the phone, did he need to kill Dustin? Something must not have agreed with him. You'll be asked to present what didn't agree with him. Present Dustin Prince's profile. Around the time of the murder, Dustin and Maggey were walking through the park on their date. With no time to change, Dustin was still in uniform. Wellington didn't know they were going out so he paniced. Wellington then spazes out of control with laughter. Whose to say the cell phone was really his to begin with? He states again that he found his phone, so why would the one you hold be his? Perhaps there's something you overlooked. Choose "Fingerprints on the phone?" Maya will remind you that you wiped the prints off when you got the phone from Maggey. Wellington regains composure thinking he may be off the hook. He then says the numbers on his phone somehow disappeared. Sure they did. Phoenix demands to know where he found the cell phone. He then completely remembers everything before the trial. You'll see the opening cutscene again breifly, and Phoenix will remember who hit him with the fire extinguisher. Unless you can prove who the phone belongs to, and fast, then it's all over. You better "Raise an objection". Phoenix is confident that he will be able to prove everything. Your health bar will take a big hit if you get this wrong so don't screw up! Present the Wellington killer-Phoenix's Business Card. You will trade cards with the Judge for whatever reason. JUDGE'S BUSINESS CARD will be added to the Court Record. There is something odd about your card. State "the back of the card." Phoenix will ask Maya to call the number on the back of Phoenix's business card. Maya makes the call and... the Steel Samurai theme plays. In Wellington's pocket. How did Wellington end up with Phoenix's phone, then? As it turns out, when Wellington went to retrieve his phone from an unconcious Phoenix, he took the wrong one. Wellington chokes himself unconcious on the spot. Good job on the Not Guilty verdict! ---------------------------------------------- Date-September 8, 2:16 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1 ---------------------------------------------- Looks like Maggey is happy that you proved her innocent. Maggey can't help but feel Dustin's death was her fault. She says that she's been shunned with a torrent of bad luck her entire life, and now look at what's happened here. She also thinks that he bad luck latched onto anyone around her. She says she's gonna quit being a police officer to start a new life somewhere. She's sure she will have better luck the next time you see her. After a heartfelt reunion with Maya, the case comes to a close. Save the game and Episode 2 will be unlocked. =========================================================================== ~6.Episode Two-Reunion, and Turnabout~ =========================================================================== The intro cutscene shows a car speeding on the highway, and someone talking about being drugged by someone they hate. Soon the car veers off the road and crashes, erupting into flames. The woman says she is out for revenge. The scene now cuts to Phoenix and Maya talking, one behind a wall. It appears to be the detention center. How the hell did Maya end up there again? Maya is saying that she killed someone, and Phoenix is trying to get her to relax. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 2-1 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ --------------------------------- Date-June 16, 3:34 PM Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Now we cut back into the Law Offices. A man is there waiting for you, fumbling around with his glasses. He talks about how the rain is depresing. He introduces himself as Dr. Turner Grey, a surgeon. He talks about an incident recently where fourteen people at the Grey Clinic were killed in a malpractice. Grey doesn't want to take responsibility, so he blames the nurse in charge right away. He says it was her that screwed up the medications, which is what killed all of the people. What's worse, the nurse was killed before she had the chance to admit to her wrongdoing. She died in a car accident, the same one form the intro. This crash occured about a year ago. Rumors have been put out stating that Grey was the cause of the crash, perhaps to his the real person responsible for the malpractice. Grey comes back and asks why he'd want to kill the nurse. What's odd is that this case is a year old, so why bring it up now? Grey says that his clinic isn't seeing as many patients nowadays due to this incident, so he wants to clear his name. He wants you to prove him innocent. He brings up Maya and knows that she is a spirit medium. Grey has already set up an appointment with Maya to channel the spirit of the dead nurse. Also of note is that this will be Maya's first real channeling, and the only condition she has to do this is that Phoenix is there with her. Phoenix heads with Grey to Maya's hometown. ----------------------- Date-June 19, 1:25 PM Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Hmm. Seems like an old fashioned kind of place, nice and peaceful. A young girl spots you as you enter, then runs off. Maya then tries chasing after her but ends up running into Phoenix. Maya's training has been going well recently, and now you are able to talk with her. Talk to Maya about "Today's channeling" first. Maya confirms that she knows all of the details behind this case right now. She's pretty sure that Grey is innocent, but we'll have to find out. Talk about "Kurain Village" now. Maya asays most of the people who work here are spirit mediums, as well as most of her ancestors. Only the woman here are mediums. The men work in another place outside of the village. Now ask about "The girl earlier". Maya says she is Pearl Fey, her cousin. Like Maya, Pearl is also a spirit medium. She ran away since her mother (Maya's aunt) drilled into her head to run away from suspicious people. Pearl isn't allowed to leave town, so she doesn't know much outside of the village. Maya will state that the channeling will start soon, so you better hurry. Move to the Meditation Room. ----------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Meditation Room ----------------------------------- You will meet up with Dr. Grey right away. He's still ranting on about the weather when you first talk to him. He was given a map to this place, and passes a copy to you. GUIDEMAP (FEY MANOR) will be added to the Court Record. You can talk to Grey now. Ask him about "Today's channeling". Phoenix will ask what he's going to do when the spirit has been called. He intends on having her sign a confession that the car incident and the malpractice were all her fault. Yeah, last time a spirit medium was called to answer a case bad things happened. Also ask about "Maya". He heard about her from a girl studying in college. That girl showed him the village. Maya is also a daughter of the master of the village. Maya's aunt is just behind the door, so we should go meet her. Move to the Channeling Chamber. -------------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Channeling Chamber -------------------------------------- Fancy room. A crazy old woman with a huge afro will demand to know who you are. She's heard a lot about Phoenix from "Mystic" Maya. She introduces herself as her aunt, Morgan Fey. She thinks that you ask to much of her in your duties as a lawyer. She seems to disapprove of it. Talk about "Maya" now. She's earned the Mystic title because she is the only one with the blood of the master running through her. She's the last of the rightful heirs to the Kurain Channeling. Morgan is merely a member of the branch family. Members there can't become the master. She hints at the fact she has no spiritual ability. Now ask about "Today's channeling". She thinks the death of someone in a car accident will be easier to channel. The channeling will occur right here in this room. Talk about the "Channeling Chamber" next. She won't allow you to observe the channeling, as that's only allowed for the medium and the client. She also mentions that the door is securely locked to prevent anything from going wrong. She also brings up the subject of Pearl. She requests that you don't speak to her at all. There's nothing left here. Head to the Meditation Room, then move to the Winding Way. ------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Winding Way ------------------------------- There's nothing much in this room for now. There's a nice garden, an incinerator, and a glass urn containing something. You'll figure out why most of these are important later. Move to the Side Room now. ----------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Side Room ----------------------------- Someone is sleeping in one of the beds on the ground. There's nothing you can do here, so again head back to the Winding Way. ------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Winding Way ------------------------------- As soon as you step out someone will demand that you answer some questions. It turns out to be Lotta Hart, the eccentric photographer from the fourth case in the previous game. Answer "Lotta Hart" when you stammer for her name. She's still a paranormal photographer, oddly enough. Thought she gave up that dream a while back. She says that the channeling is about to be started. She says you better hurry to the Mediation Room. Head there now. ----------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Meditation Room ----------------------------------- Morgan tells Maya and Dr. Grey to enter the Channeling Chamber. Maya says that she has the key to the chamer. Morgan says that the key is the only one of it's kind. Well, while we wait for the channeling to be over, Morgan invites Phoenix to relax over some food. Lotta becomes angry that she can't get any photos of the channeling, but Morgan just shoves her complaints off. A few minutes will pass and you will hear a loud bang. As soon as you realise what it is, another bang goes off. You will question what to do in this situation. Choose "Break into the Chamber". Obviously there isn't much of a choice, since the only key is with Maya. After several slams you end up in the Channeling Chamber. -------------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Channeling Chamber -------------------------------------- That's not good. Dr. Grey is lying in a bloody pool in the corner of the room. Lotta takes several photos of this scene, then the camera pans over to Maya who doesn't look like herself right now. She mutters that she was murdered, and that Dr. Grey killed her so she killed him back. Morgan interferes and orders you to leave and alert the police. Maya's screwed now. ----------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Phoenix's cell phone doesn't get any reception down in the village, but he is lucky enough to have a phone booth built convienently nearby. He phones the police and they are on their way. What an odd case this is turning out to be. Talk to Lotta about "What you witnessed". She thinks that it wasn't Maya that pulled the trigger, instead it was the person that was channeled in her body. Ask about "Dr. Grey" now. She doesn't know much about him, but he has a bad reputation. Although skilled at surgery, he's got a bad attitude. He was a tough person to work with. Now move back to the Meditation Room. ------------------------------------ Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Meditation Room ------------------------------------ You'll meet up with Morgan again. She seems to be quite calm. She tells you that although the channeling is complete, Maya is still unconcious. Out of the blue pops in Detective Gumshoe, here to cheer us all up. How convienent for him to be in this area at the time of the police call. He leaves to investigate the crime scene. The only thing you can do now is talk to other people hoping for some clues. Head back to Kurain Village. ----------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Lotta is panicing, hoping she isn't next to be killed. Talk to her about "Any ideas" now. She brings back up the fact that she took two pictures when you were in the Channeling Chamber. She leaves to go back to the Chamber to get more photos. Head back to the Side Room now. ----------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Side Room ----------------------------- As soon as you enter the room you'll notice the person in the bed wakes up and makes her way over to you. She mentions about the time of the channeling and if it's going to happen soon. Phoenix tells her a murder just happened and she...totally doesn't know what that is. Oookay. Seems like a total druggie or someone with really bad memory. She introduces herself as Ini Miney. She's studying parapsychology, the study of these mystical spiritual things. Talk to her about "Ini Miney". She says that she was the one who told Dr. Grey about this place. He asked her if she knew a good spirit medium, and she told him about Maya. She was taking a nap here since she wasn't feeling well. She's allergic to sesame seeds, so after feeling ill after lunch she took a nap. Now ask her about "What happened". Since she's been sleeping here since lunch she has no idea about the murder that just took place. Now talk about "The victim". Ini stammers when asked if she knew Dr. Grey and hurredly replies she doesn't. It seems that she's trying to hide something. Head back to Winding Way. ------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Winding Way ------------------------------- When you set foot into Winding Way this time you will meet up with Pearl. She's not responsive, but Phoenix will notice she is holding a key. Talk to her about "Pearl". She will get a surprised look and then run off, having Phoenix confused that it was about his hair rather than something else. Nonetheless we need to find her elsewhere. Head back into the Channeling Chamber. -------------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Channeling Chamber -------------------------------------- Gumshoe will appear and yell at Phoenix to not tamper with anything in the room. He will let you ask him a few questions, however. Talk to him about "Maya". He grimly says that with the way the case looks right now she is the only person who could have committed the crime. He says you can't see Maya right now, either. Now ask about the "Cause of death". Dr. Grey was shot in the forehead, as well as stabbed in the chest with a knife. After being stabbed, the final blow was from the gun again. Well, Gumshoe won't disperse any more information. Don't know why you need to shoot someone twice and stab them, but I guess the killer wanted to ensure Grey was brutally killed. Head back into the Meditatio Room. ----------------------------------- Date-June 19 Location-Fey Manor; Meditation Room ----------------------------------- You will meet up with Morgan again here. She is talking to Ini at the moment, and then Gumshoe will step into the conversation. He says that the investigation won't be done for a while. There's nothing else you can do for now so everyone will just spend the night at the manor. What a bizzare day. Maya was arrested by the police for the second time, and Phoenix is in deep water. You'll awake back in this room June 20, 8:02 AM. You will head down to the detention center right away. ----------------------------------------- Date-June 20, 10:34 AM Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Well, Maya is back in the detention center. There's not much she can really do to help you through this case. Phoenix and her will talk a bit, the same conversation from the intro to the case. Talk to Maya about "Channeling". She says that her mother is the master of the Kurain school for now. Since the title is passed form mother to daughter, she imagines that she will soon be the new master. Now ask about "What happened". Maya doesn't remember too much. She sat down and began the channeling. That was the last thing she remembers. Once the spirit is in her body, she loses consciousness. When she woke up there was blood all over her clothes. She does remember having a dream, though. Talk to her about the "Dream" now. She remembers being dead and buried into the ground. She couldn't move and was suffocating. Phoenix orders her to prepare the documents to let him be her attorney. Maya says that if your going to be helping her you should have her magical charm. The MAGATAMA will be put into the Court Record. You need to give it to Pearl to fill it with energy. Head to Wright & Co. Law Offices first, though. --------------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Phoenix will search for a newspaper that Dr. Grey brought the other day. NEWSPAPER CLIPPING 1 will be added to the Court Record. Now get back to Kurain Village, specifically the Side Room. ----------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Fey Manor; Side Room ----------------------------- You will meet up with Ini right away. She is very...uncoperative. Or just really, really stupid. Talk to her about "Ini Miney" as if you are actually going to get something out of it. She is still here at the manor because there is so much for her to be studying. Ask about "What happened" now. She doesn't respond at all, probably since she doesn't have a grip on what is happening. Now ask about "The victim". She will stammer and say she doesn't know about Dr. Grey. You can examine the room now. At the back end of the room is a nice alter built for some purpose. Left of the alter is a wooden bear figurine. It's just a souvenir. Now examine the box infront of her bed. Phoenix will imply that the box wasn't here yesterday, remember? At the bottom of the chest are some spiritual clothes, but nothing major. Head into the Channeling Chamber now. -------------------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Fey Manor; Channeling Chamber -------------------------------------- Gumshoe isn't here, so he must be swamped with other work involving this case at the moment. Morgan is here, though. She says that Pearl and her were deeply sorry and shocked at the events that have transpired here and hope for Maya's safety. Ask Morgan about "What happened". As soon as you left the Channeling Chamber yesterday, Morgan struck Maya on the head to make her fall unconscious. She then performed a special technique to send the spirit back to the other world. That's totally believable in court. Now ask about the "Channeling Chamber". She says that this chamber is built to prevent such a tragedy. Despite Maya still being a novice spirit channeler, it was unlikely that the spirit she called would turn so violent so quickly. She is glad that none of the heirlooms were damaged. She is talking about the folding screen with old Kurain writings on it. Along with the Sacred Urn (in the Winding Way, remember that?), these are irreplacable items. Now ask about "Pearl". She says that Pearl is her most prizes possession at the moment. Pearl has the spiritual power to become the next master. She then goes all psycho saying Pearl is a prodigy of the family, stronger than most in the main branch. She half-tells you to die or something (damn she's creepy). Examine the folding screen she mentioned. Phoenix will notice that there is a bullet hole in the screen. Didn't Morgan say it wasn't damaged? FOLDING SCREEN info will be put into the Court Record. Morgan will leave now to visit Maya. Head back to the Winding Way now. ------------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Fey Manor; Winding Way ------------------------------- You will find Pearl standing here once again, and she still is as shy as before. She's also carrying the key again. Wonder why. She won't answer any of your questions, so present the Magatama to her. She then starts to cry, muttering that it belongs to Maya. She then recongnizes you as Nick, wonder how she got that name. She then calls you Maya's "special someone". Oooh. Busted. She totally thinks you and Maya are in love. Pearl says that she is going to help you however she can. Talk to her about "Pearl". She really looks up to Maya, and wants to be like her when she's older. Morgan wasn't kidding when she said Pearl knows nothing of the outside world. She doesn't know what a lawyer is. Now ask about "The item in your hand". She says that she found the key yesterday. She says she can give it to you, so choose to "Accept it". BLACK KEY added to the Court Record. Pearl takes the Magatama and charges it with spiritual energy, making it glow brightly. She says that it will allow you to see people's secrets. Pearl asks to join you for a little while, to test out the Magatama. Let's head back into the Side Room to visit Ini. ----------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Fey Manor; Side Room ----------------------------- Ask Ini once more about "The victim" since she totally refuses to answer this question. When she says she doesn't know, the screen fades black and chains and a lock appear over Ini. Pearl asks if you are able to see the lock. This is the Magatama's secret power. You're the only one who can see these Psyche-Locks. The more locks you see over a person, the harder it will be to get that person wants to hide the secret. She says you should be able to unlock it easily with only one lock. You can try out the Magatama Secret mode. To do so, just present the Magatama to Ini. The way the mode works is that she will ask you questions that you will need to answer with evidence. Get enough correct and the lock will break. However, incorrectly guess and you will lose health. Pearl warns you that if you don't have enough evidence you must stop the mode and return later when you have the proper evidence. You actually don't have the right evidence to get through the lock, so don't waster your time trying. Head back to the Meditation Room. ----------------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Fey Manor; Meditation Room ----------------------------------- You will meet up with Gumshoe right away. One of Gumshoe's best lines comes here when he wants to show Pearl a real, genuine pistol. Talk to him about "Maya's guilt". Gumshoe is sure that you won't be able to win. Although there are a few pieces of evidence, such as Lotta Hart who will be testifying, probably about the pictures she took. He also says that no one else but Maya could have killed Dr. Grey. Now ask about "The victim". He says that his face was all over the tabloids last year. He says he lost the copy of the article he had with him, though. Now ask about "Tomorrow's trial". Gumshoe has some bad news. You're up against Prosecutor von Karma tomorrow. How? We put that scumbag in jail as far as we know form the previous game! He get out early or something? Gumshoe steps in an says that it's actually his successor who will be taking place. Now ask about the "Successor". It actually is Von Karma's daughter, who became a prosecutor at age 13. She hasn't lost a trial since. She was raised in Germany, though, explaining why you haven't heard about her at all. Present the Newspaper Clipping 1. Gumshoe will add that the situation got worse after the incident. He has another article which he'll give to you describing what happened next. NEWSPAPER ARTICLE 2 will be added to the Court Record. You have the evidence you need. Head back to the Side Room. ----------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Fey Manor; Side Room ----------------------------- There's nothing left to do with Ini than present the Magatama and unlock her hidden secret. ---------------------------------------- ~Ini Miney's Magatama Secret-The Victim~ ---------------------------------------- Phoenix will boldly exclaim that Ini does infact know Dr. Grey. While it is possible they never met in person, Ini possibly may have had a way of indirectly knowing him. You need to present something that shows a possible connection between Ini and Dr. Grey. Look at Newspaper Clipping 2. It says that Mimi Miney, the nurse at the Grey Clinic, died after falling asleep at the wheel. Were Mimi and Ini sisters? It's possible since they have the same last name. Present this article. She was infact her older sister. This is how she knew the name-her sister worked at Grey's Clinic. The lock will break. You can now ask about "The victim" without worry of her stammering. She says that her sister Mimi was a nurse at the Grey Clinic. She heard from her sister that Grey was a total slave driver, totally pushing his workers. Mimi usually came home from work totally wiped out. Since she was driven so hard it's possible that is why she fell asleep at the wheel. Ini also thinks that the person responsible for the malpractice was also Grey. Her sister was pushed so hard is led to her death. Pearl comes in when Ini finishes and says Psyche-Locks are likely to be harder to break in the future. Head back to the detention center now. ----------------------------------------- Date-June 20 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- You will meet up with someone who hasn't seen you in a long time. You'll find out that Maya is channeling Mia again. Phoenix will explain the whole case to Mia. You can talk to her now. Ask her about "Not guilty". She says she knows Maya is guilty because spirit mediums can't have dreams. From what Maya said earlier it seems like she was having a dream. That's quite impossible, though, since she shouldn't be able to dream. This means that Maya was probably set-up. You need to figure out how she was set-up, though. Now ask about "Evidence?" She vaguely hints at the fact that the black key you are holding is the key to the entire case. She asks you to show it to her, so present the Black Key. She says the key shouldn't be in your hands right now as it contradicts the facts. She then says you need everything you need to know. Just then, three Psyche-Locks appear on Mia. This means Mia must know something about the real murderer. Too late to think about it because trial is about to start. Save the game now. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 2-1 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-June 21, 9:48 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1 ---------------------------------------------- You and Maya start discussing what the successor to Von Karma is going to be like in court. Probably just like the real man himself-sinister and willing to do anything to get a guilty verdict. Just then, Pearl pops into the courthouse. Pearl snuck away from Kurain Village all by herself with little more than a map to reach her. For someone that young and no real world experience she seems to have gotten here nice and safe. Ignoring the fact she ran here (...) Maya will bring up that Edgeworth would be better as the prosecutor here since he isn't as ruthless. At the point where she calls him Phoenix's rival and friend, you'll see a flashback to when Edgeworth was battling Phoenix in court. Phoenix doesn't like to talk about Edgeworth anymore since he's disappeared. No more chitchat, court is starting. ---------------------------------------- Date-June 21, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Damn. Von Karma's daughter sure doesn't look pleased at anything. She introduces herself as Franziska von Karma, the young prosecuting prodigy. She gave up her career in Germany to come to America and smoke Phoenix's ass in court for revenge. Obviously she isn't pleased that her perfect father was demolished by Phoenix in court. She has a whip, and whips the Judge right away when he starts talking. Also of note is that Franziska loves to go on spiels where the only word she uses in a sentence is "fool", all plural and made up forms of it as possible. She tries to get Phoenix to go for a justified self-defense plea, but that is the same as confessing to murder. However, Phoenix continues to go for his plea of not guilty. She calls in the first witness, Detective Gumshoe. He will then bring out a map of the Channeling Chamber. He puts two dots on the diagram, one for where the killer was and one for where the victim was. He goes on to say that soon after the channeling started, gunshots were heard from the room. Several witnesses, including Phoenix, burst into the room. The FLOOR PLANS will be added to the Court Record. Gumshoe will now testify. ------------------------------------ ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Cause of Death~ ------------------------------------ -The direct cause of death was a pistol shot to the forehead, sir. -The shot was fired from point-blank range. -But before the victim was shot, sir, he was stabbed in the chest. -The wound was very severe, but not enough to cause instantaneous death. -The murderer used the pistol to finish the victim off after the stabbing. You will recieve DR. GREY'S AUTOPSY REPORT just before the cross examination. Press the first statement to find out that the pistol belonged to Dr. Grey. However, Maya's fingerprints were found on the gun. Now press the second statement to find out that there were gunpowder burns on Dr. Grey's forehead, revealing he was shot at close proximity. Now press the third statement. He was stabbed by a fruit knife, and it belonged to the Fey's. Maya's fingerprints are all over this as well. Press the fourth statement next. The stab wound just barely missed Dr. Grey's heart so it didn't kill him, but he became too weak to stand after it. Press the final statement now. You'll just confirm that the victim was shot, stabbed, then shot again. The Judge will end the cross examination since it's getting nowhere. Gumshoe reveals that he brought the weapons with him. PISTOL and KNIFE will be added to the Court Record. Franziska states the time of death was 3:15 PM. Witnesses heard two gunshots as well. You will now be asked again if you want to switch your plea over to justified self-defense. Be sure to "Plead not guilty". Franziska is confident you have screwed yourself over by continuing to plea not guilty and orders Gumshoe to testify on the final strike and other incriminating evidence. -------------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Incriminating Evidence~ -------------------------------------------- -Sorry, pal but there's an even more incriminating piece of evidence. -This is the costume the defendant was wearing at the time of the crime. -As you can see, it's covered in blood. -The defendant attacked and killed a person who, without a doubt, was not fighting back. Gumshoe will present MAYA'S COSTUME which will be added to the Court Record. There is a decent amount of blood spilled onto it, directing linking Maya to this crime. Start off by pressing the third statement when he talking about how the costume is covered in blood. Gumshoe will say that lab results confirmed that the blood belongs to the victim. Franziska will tell you that you are just wasting time trying to get Gumshoe to tell about other pieces of evidence. You need to "Press further". You will be shown the costume again and Phoenix says there must be a clue somewhere. Do you see it yet? Actually, choose "There is one little thing..." when asked if anything is wrong with the costume. You will need to point to what the problem in the evidence is. There is a hole, probably from a gun bullet, in the bottom right corner of the costume so point there and present it. The Judge confirms that the hole smells like gunpowder, so there's only one way it could have been made. MAYA'S COSTUME will be updated in the Court Record. Franziska doesn't seem phazed at all, and seems glad you found the contradiction. However, since this piece of evidence has little to do with the testimony, it still stands and Gumshoe will continue. However, this costume does provide a vital clue. Present Maya's Costume on his last statement. If there's a gunshot hole in it, obviously the victim was at least attempting to fight back. Now it is quite possible that Dr. Grey did infact fire off a shot at Maya. Sadly, these grounds are only enough to support a justified self-defense plea. Since you chose to go for a not guilty plea, Gumshoe will give another testimony. ------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-What Transpired~ ------------------------------------- -During the channeling, the defendant saw her chance to stab the victim in the chest. -Of course, the victim used the last of his strength to fight back, sir. -While the two were fighting, the victim took out his gun. -The victim took a shot, but because they were too close, he missed. -The defendant then picked up on the opening and took the victim's gun and ended it... There's not much information to work off of here. This took me forever to figure out, but pressing will get you nowhere. You actually need to present Maya's Costume at the fourth statement where he mentions that Grey missed because they were too close. Phoenix exclaims that this hole creates a gap in the testimony. If the victim and Maya were standing at point blank range when the gun was fired, then there would be clear gunpowder burns on the costume. However, there clearly isn't. This means that Dr. Grey and Maya were standing a decent distance apart from each other when the shot was fired. Franziska says that Dr. Grey probably just shoved Maya away and then shot, but Phoenix says that the stab wound was very severe and wouldn't have had the strength to do such a thing. Then she comes back and says that it was Maya instead who pushed Dr. Grey aside to get distance between them before the doctor took his shot. Choose "Something does not make sense". You will need to present some evidence to prove that Maya was not attacking at the time she was shot at. Present the Folding Screen, the only other piece of evidence with a bullet hole in it. The shot fired went through Maya's costume, then through the folding screen. Since the bullet through the folding screen was very low, this means that Maya was squatting low on the ground, nowhere near getting ready to attack. Phoenix will pull out the Channeling Chamber diagram and show where the victim and folding screen are located. You need to show where Maya was at. Present the spot right next to the bullet hole. Franziska will stammer, saying it's illogical and Maya should have been squatting near the victim. She couldn't have been that close since gunpowder burns would have been present if she was. Since there aren't any on the costume, this situation changes slightly. Choose "It changes everything". It was claimed that Maya was aiming to kill by stabbing. If that was true, finishing the kob with a knife would be ideal. However, at the time they were squatting by the folding screen. If Maya was the real murderer, why would she be by the folding screen and not preparing to strike? Franziska gets ready to call in the next witness, likely to be Lotta. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 2-2 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-June 21, 11:37 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Maya was scared to near death during trial. Pearl seems as cheerful as ever though. She obviously doesn't know what it's like to be a defense attorney. Phoenix is pretty sure as well that the next witness will be Lotta Hart. It also seems that Pearl didn't know that Mia was a defense attorney before she was killed. ---------------------------------------- Date-June 21, 11:43 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Franziska is utterly infuriated at the fact Phoenix just won't lose, so much so that she tells the Judge to shut it while she calls the next witness. Damn. You guessed it, Lotta Hart will be testifying next. She's be testifying on the events that occured before and after the shootings. ------------------------------------------ ~Lotta Hart's Testimony-Witness's Account~ ------------------------------------------ -Only the Doc and the defendant went into the Channelin' Chamber. -We were watin' outside the door and then, "bang!", we hear this gunshot! -Mr. Lawyer there broke the door down, and we rushed into the room. -Inside was the dead victim, and the defendant, wavin' a pistol around. -I swear, other than those two, there was no one else in the room. Lotta will present one of the pictures she took. It shows the backside of Maya with a pistol in her right hand. LOTTA'S PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. Now down to business. Press the fourth statement since it wasn't truly the defendant Maya, it was the spirit in her body. "Press harder" when asked to. You will recall that Lotta wasn't sure at the time whether the murderer was Maya or not. Franziska says that since Maya was the only other person to have gone into the chamber, only the person in the photo could be Maya. Now press the final statement. Phoenix thinks that since the place was very dark, there could have been someone else in the room. Choose "Behind the folding screen". Lotta says that she checked there and nobody was hiding behind it. This doesn't bode well with you. The Judge becomes fed up and ends the cross examination early. Franziska goes back over who was in the room, and then goes back to the picture from earlier. You will be asked if you want to present evidence to prove that this isn't Maya in the picture. Sadly, you must choose "Can't present anything yet" as nothing can really show anything about her face. Just before Phoenix gives up, Mia appears in Pearl's body. She says to think carefully about what happened in the Channeling Chamber. She says you should question Lotta one more time. Franziska oddly enough will allow Phoenix another testimony. She's gonna talk about what happened when she burst into the chamber. ------------------------------------------------ ~Lotta Hart's Testimony-Witness's Account, Pt.2~ ------------------------------------------------ -When we broke into that room, all I could focus on was Maya. -I was...uh, kinda scared of the dead body, so I didn't take a good look at it. -I'm really bad when it comes to blood and ghosts and stuff. -But I still managed to point my camera at Maya and take a shot. There's something strange about the testimony from the start, if you remember. Lotta took two photos at the crime scene and not one. Press the fifth statement to learn more about the second photo. She says she hasn't submitted the other photo as evidence because Franziska told her not to do so. You can choose what to do against Franziska now. Choose to "Leave it to the Judge" although it really doesn't matter. Franziska says she didn't think the photo would be important at all so she didn't submit it. LOTTA'S PHOTO 2 will be added to the Court Record. This photo shows the actual face of the murderer, and it is most certainly NOT Maya. Choose to "Insist it's not Maya". Phoenix says that the real murderer snuck in and traded places with the defendant. Mia says that you aren't hitting very hard, though. She says Franziska is smiling at your helpless efforts. She then presents a photo of you an Mia talking in the detention center (holy crap it's in COLOR!). But you were really talking to Maya, right? Franziska says she looks different because she is channeling a spirit, obviously. Mia says that taking pictures during a provate conversation is illegal, so it can't be presented as evidence. You need to figure out a way to prove the person in the second photo isn't Maya. Choose "I can prove it". There is a clear contradiction in this photo compared to the evidence. You must point out what is wierd in the photo. You should notice that the costume is missing the all-important bullet hole we discovered earlier. Point to the sleeve and present it. Obviously, Franziska was hiding this evidence from the court intentionally. She's smiling happy again, though. She blames not knowing about the bullet hole on the investigators since they didn't notify her about the hole in the first place. So, we have a photo that is missing a bullet hole in the sleeve, and the actual costume itself which has the sleeve with a bullet hole. You'll need to choose the logical explaination for this. Choose "The shooter is someone else." Franziska foes crazy after you present this statement. She is saying the defense is in a mess right now, and then asks Lotta if anyone else was in the room. So, if a third person entered the room, who was it and where did the come from? Time to look at this from a different angle. What if the third person was already in the room, and before breaking in Maya somehow left the room, and if either of these could be proven true, Maya may be off the hook. Before busting into the Channeling Chamber, choose "Maya had left the room." You need to prove that from the murder until the time of arrest Maya had left the room. You need to present the Black Key Pearl gave you yesterday. Yes, they key to the Channeling Chamber itself. Maya locked herself in the room with that key. Now Franziska asks how the hell the key landed in your possession. If Maya had indeed locked the door, the key should have been with her. She didn't have the key at the time of arrest, though. You got the key from Pearl who was nowhere near the crime scene. This means that Maya must have left the room at some point. If she didn't, Phoenix wouldn't have the key right now. Oh yeah, totally screwed over Franziska today. It's a bit tricky to declare a verdict when you're not sure if the defendant really was the murderer or not, or even in the room at the time. ---------------------------------------------- Date-June 21, 1:32 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Pearl explains she had little choice to call Mia to help out in court. Maya then says she doesn't remember ever leaving the Channeling Chamber. Pearl doesn't think that a third person could have even gone into the room. Save the game now. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 2-2 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ----------------------- Date-June 21, 3:24 PM Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Pearl has been thinking that if Maya isn't the one that killed Dr. Grey, then someone else must have done that. She seems a bit sad, so talk to her to try cheering her up. Ask about "Today's trial". She was a bit surprised at it, not expecting so many people. Her insult at Franziska is pretty funny too. She wants to give Franziska a piece of her mind. Heh. Now you can talk to her about "Prosecutors". Phoenix will try to explain to Pearl why Franziska wanted Maya guilty so bad. Phoenix also says that all prosecutors are the same-they just want to win. He hints at someone else that may not have that same attitude, and Pearl guesses you are talking about Edgeworth. Phoenix also reveals that Edgeworth apparently committed suicide. Er, wow. Anyways, talk about "The murderer". When you ask Pearl if she knows anything, she will stammer and claim she knows nothing. Now you wonder what she was doing during the murder and where she got the key. Now ask about "Pearl's alibi". When Phoenix asks what she was doing during the murder, she will stammer and two Psyche Locks will appear over her. There's nothing you can do to break them for now, so head over to the Channeling Chamber. -------------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Fey Manor; Channeling Chamber -------------------------------------- Morgan will be in this room, and she's kneeling down with a creepy grin on her face, staring at a picture. She mentions the name Misty, possibly referring to Misty Fey? Morgan will then realize you've entered the room. Now you can talk to her. Ask Morgan about "What happened". She says she has nothing more to add about her whereabouts during the murder. While Lotta and Phoenix went calling the police, she was by Maya's side. Nothing else happened. Now ask about "Training". She says that all trainees go through training almost every day. She'll snap when Phoenix doesn't use Maya's and Pearl's title, so you won't learn more about this subject. Now ask about "The Master". Misty Fey is the current master at the Kurain school. Nobody is sure where she is right now, if you recall that is the same situation that was brought up in the previous game. Morgan says that she won't return to this village most likely, and in four years her name will be forever erased from it. Anyone who is gone for 20 years is considered dead, so she won't be the master any longer. A new master will be appointed at that time, and Maya was supposed to become the next master. However, due to the murder, this isn't gonna happen. Head back to Kurain Village. ----------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Present the Black Key to Pearl. She will say she found the key lying in the incinerator in the Winding Way. She says she found the key after the channeling when everyone was in a panic. Phoenix thinks he should check out the area once again, so follow that advice and head back to Winding Way. ------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Fey Manor; Winding Way ------------------------------- You will meet up with Ini right away here. She runs up to you from the incinerator. She will mention the urn nearby, and you'll comment that it is just a cracked piece of pottery. Talk to her about the "Sacred Urn". She says it is this village's treasure. Ami Fey's spirit is trapped inside the urn. She's the woman who founded the Kurain Channeling Technique. As long as her spirit is in the jar, the Fey family can continue to use their psychic prowess. Or some myth like that. Now ask about "What happened". She says she has nothing to do with the murder since she was sleeping in the Side Room the entire time. Now ask about the "Traffic accident". Before you get a chance to get a response, Ini will claim it has nothing to do with the murder and two Psyche Locks will appear. You also don't have the necessary evidence to break the locks. Well, that makes three. Mia's, Pearl's, and now Ini's you can open. Now, examine the sacred urn. All Phoenix will notice is a bunch or cracks on the surface of the urn. The words "I AM" are written on the urn as well. SACRED URN will be added to the Court Record. Now examine the piece of purple cloth hanging from the incinerator. The piece is from Maya's costume and the blood is still on it. CLOTH STRAP will be added to the Court Record. Head all the way back to the detention center now. ----------------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Maya seems really depressed right now. Talk to her about "Today's trial". She comments that you ran a great trial today, pulling all sorts of turnabouts each time you were about to lose. She questions if it was really her who shot Dr. Grey. She confirms nobody was behind the folding screen. Now ask her about "Not guilty". Phoenix says he believes in Maya since she isn't able to have dreams while channeling. Phoenix thinks that before the channeling occured, Maya was drugged. There was a set-up plan to frame the murder on Maya. Now ask about "Pearl's alibi". Perhaps Maya will be able to answer what she was doing during the time of the murder. She says that she was with Pearl most of the day, playing with her ball. Now ask about the "Ball". Maya says it's just a normal ball she likes to play with and that she was probably playing with it during the channeling. She also says the ball is stored in the clothing box, remember that? The big yellow box in the Side Room? Head to the Side Room right now. ----------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Fey Manor; Side Room ----------------------------- Before you get here you will see Lotta at the entrance to the village, but she'll run off. Once in the Side Room, examine the ball lying right next to the yellow box. This is Pearl's ball (note the Steel Samurai picture on the ball). PEARL'S BALL will be added to the Court Record. Now examine the yellow box again. What the hell was Lotta doing hiding in the box? She'll run off again, and after than Phoenix will notice that there is a small hole in the clothing box, about 8 inches off the ground. That's the same height as the hole in the folding screen! CLOTHING BOX will be added to the Court Record. Now head back to the Meditation Room. ----------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Fey Manor; Meditation Room ----------------------------------- Pearl will meet you here and tell you that Lotta went off, saying she was gonna find her true self. You have enough evidence now, so present the Magatama to Pearl. --------------------------------------- ~Pearl's Magatama Secret-Pearl's Alibi~ --------------------------------------- Pearl isn't too thrilled about talking about the murder much or what she was doing during it, so Phoenix is going to play a small guessing game. You will be shown a map of the Fey Manor, and need to point out where Pearl was during the murder. Point to the Winding Way and present it. Now you need to present something that shows what she was doing in Winding Way at the time. Present Pearl's Ball. She was playing with her ball during the time of the murder. Judging by the look on her face, something bad happened while she was bouncing her ball. Now you need to present what happened. Present the Sacred Urn. Yeah, Pearl ended up breaking the urn while she was playing with her ball. She says that it isn't too wierd to have that urn with cracks in it, considering how old it is. You need to present evidence to show how the urn was broken. To prove it, present Ami Fey's profile. The name is spelled "Ami", but the letters on the urn have been rearranged to spell "I AM" instead. Pearl's last lock will break and you can talk to her about "Pearl's alibi" now. You've alreayd figured most of it out. During the murder, Pearl was playing with her ball in the Winding Way. Her ball smacked into the urn and broke it. She was afraid that she would be forced to leave the village for destroying a keepsake, so she thought she could easily fit the pieces back together. Now ask about the "Sacred Urn". She got some glue and fixed the urn back together in the Winding Way, assuming that since the channeling was going on nobody would walk by. She finished fixing it around the time Phoenix and Lotta finished reporting the murder. SACRED URN info will be updated in the Court Record. Now head back to Kurain Village. ----------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Phoenix will ignore Lotta for a few seconds while pondering over the case. She will mutter something about why you're following her, then you can talk to her. Ask about "Today's trial". She'll admit that she made some mistakes in trial today. Choose to "Forgive her". She will gladly share with you all of the info she has dug up so far. Now ask about "The murderer". She thinks that since Maya isn't the murderer, it must be Ini instead. It couldn't really have been anyone else. Present to Lotta Ini's profile. Now talk about "Ini Miney". Lotta says that Ini was hospitalized six months ago. She doesn't know for sure why, but she has the clinic's address of where she went to. Head over to the Hotti Clinic. -------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Hotti Clinic; Reception -------------------------------- A creepy doctor with many missing teeth and pink hair (WTF) will greet you when you enter. He is Director Hotti, apparently the owner of this clinic. A nurse will come by and tell Hotti to return back to his room, and to hang up the director's coat. Is he even the real director? Not much of a choice you can do now. Talk about the "Hotti Clinic". He says they do doctory-type things here. He also says they do plastic surgery here. Now ask about "Ini Miney". She was transferred from the general hospital. She needed surgery, but Hotti isn't exactly willing to tell you. There's nothing else he can really freely talk to you about. Present your Attorney's Badge. He says that he isn't the real director to this place. He is willing to give you some information, though. He knows information about many of the patients, past and present here. Talk about "Ini Miney" again. She was transferred from the general hospital about a year ago in an emergency case. She was seriously injured. Most of her body was wrapped in a cast. He then mutters that it was a car accident that cause the injury. Now you can ask him about "The Operation". Most of Ini's face was burned clean off in the accident. Using a picture of her, they were able to put her face back together. Her license was also burned in the wreckage of the car. LICENSE PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. Now ask about "The Accident". He brings out an article that says Ini was in the passengers seat of the car. She was sleeping when a jolt woke her up, and a sea of fire was all around her. She managed to get the door open and escaped the fire. NEWSPAPER CLIPPING 2 will be added to the Court Record. It has been about half a year since Ini was discharged from the clinic. Had back to Kurain Village now. ----------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Lotta will say that Morgan called the cops a little while ago, saying that she had something important to tell them. Talk to Lotta about "Morgan". As it turns out, although the master right now is Misty Fey, the real master was supposed to be Morgan. Now ask about "Ini Miney". She confirms Ini is still hanging out near Winding Way. Now ask Lotta about "The Master". The master is apparently always the oldest daughter. Morgan is Misty's older sister. The older sister usually has the stronger powers, but not so in this case. Most of the villae turned against Morgan for having no power at all. If it wasn't for this, Maya's family would have been the branch family. Now head to Winding Way. ------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Fey Manor; Winding Way ------------------------------- As Phoenix hints at, you have enough evidence now to unlock Ini's secrets. Present the Magatama. ---------------------------------------------- ~Ini Miney's Magatama Secret-Traffic Accident~ ---------------------------------------------- Ini starts off by questioning what accident you are talking about. She says that Dr. Grey made her sister fall asleep at the wheel and that's all she has to say. Since she said "whose accident" it implies she knows more than one accident. Phoenix will try changing the topic to someone else's accident. Present the License Photo. Let's ask about her accident instead. Now you need to prove that she was ever in an accident. Present Newspaper Clipping 2. The clipping states that Ini Miney had an interview after the crash. Now she states that that "Ini Miney" in the article wasn't actually her, although they just happen to have the same name. Now you need to prove that she was ever hospitalized. Present the License Photo again here. Yeah, the photo looks just like Ini. The first lock will break. Now she says that the accident in question isn't related to this murder. Now you need to present who the woman that died in the accident was. Present Mimi Miney's profile of course. Both of them were in the car, together, when the accident occured, making them the same. Now talk about the "Traffic accident". She was riding in the car with her sister, on their way home. She was riding in the passenger seat when she fell asleep when it happened, the accident. She was incapable of doing anything to help her sister. Now ask about "Dr. Grey". Ini is positive that Dr. Grey drugged her in order to get revenge for killing his patients. She then says it will be impossible to catch her. Head back to Kurain Village. ----------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Kurain Village ----------------------- Gumshoe and Pearl will be fighting when you arrive here. Morgan comes in and says to Pearl that she will be fine for now, and to protect the manor while she is gone. Gumshoe tries to show his real, genuine pistol, but that just upsets Morgan. Talk to Pearl about "Morgan" now. She has a feeling that something bad is going to happen and she's not sure what. Now ask about "Maya". Pearl says she will be perfectly fine here, so you should go visit Maya in the detention center. ----------------------------------------- Date-June 21 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- You will find Mia again when you enter. Mia invites you to try your luck at getting the last piece of information. What a jerk, her sister's fate could rest on this information and she's forcing us to play a game to find it out. Honestly...for now, talk about "The murderer". The Psyche Locks will apper over Mia now. Present the Magatama so we can get this over with. ------------------------------------ ~Mia's Magatama Secret-The Murderer~ ------------------------------------ You know that she is hiding information from you intentionally. You need to present who she is trying to protect. Present Morgan's profile. The first lock will break off easily. However, Morgan was outside with you when the murder was taking place, so she has an alibi. Now you need to present evidence that may place suspicion on Morgan. Present the Cloth Strap. This strap was from Maya's costume. However, when Maya was arrested she was wearing the outfit. This means someone must have changed her clothes. Who was the only person with Maya when nobody else was around? Morgan. Now you need to present proof that this blood belongs to Maya's costume, not someone else's. Present the Black Key now. Maya had this key when she was channeling. Somehow it ended up in the incinerator much like the piece of cloth. Maya also said earlier that the key was placed in her sleeve. Both were found in the incinerator. This means this must be part of Maya's costume. The only person who could have changed her clothes and burned these items was Morgan. The second lock will break now. Now you need to who or what Morgan needed to place the murder. Present to her Ini Miney's profile, the only other person without an alibi who was at the manor. This means that Ini and Morgan were working together. Now ask about "The Murderer". This crime was something no normal person could do. Someone had to know a lot of the Fey Manor to do this. We can assume that Ini Miney had something to do with this. However, we are still missing a motive. Why would Morgan go through all of this trouble? Mia mutters it involves her mother. You have gathered every clue you can. Time for the final showdown. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 2-3 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-June 22, 9:51 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Maya mentions tha Franziska is the same age as herself, and the amount of strength between the two is uncomparable. Pearl comes in to greet everyone cheerfully, and says that Morgan is coming to testify on her behalf. Or so you may think. Phoenix asks Pearl to channel Mia again, and says thankfully that this way she won't be able to see the trial, whatever that could mean. ---------------------------------------- Date-June 22, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Franziska is quite confident that she will utterly defeat you. Mia will appear next to you, saying this already makes you seem famous. I think it's time we brought down this egoistic blue haired maniac before she gets any further. The Judge will then recap what was found out at the end of the trial yesterday. Namely, the possibility that Maya could have left the Channeling Chamber. The key was proof enough of this. Franziska points out that from the time of murder to the time of arrest, Maya did indeed leave the chamber. She then goes on to say that Maya dropped the key after she left the room. She then calls Morgan ot the stand to testify on this behalf. Morgan talks about the technique she used to remove the spirit from Maya's body briefly, then goes on to say Maya escaped the room afterwards. She'll testify based on what happened. -------------------------------------- ~Morgan Fey's Testimony-Maya's Escape~ -------------------------------------- -After we heard the gunshots, those two broke the door open and entered the Chamber. -I requested that Mr. Wright and the other lady please contact the police. -A pistol was hanging from Mystic Maya's hand and she was in a daze... -Then, quite suddenly, she thrusted me away from herself and escaped from the room. -With great strength, she hit the base of my neck and I fainted for a short while... -I'm afraid I have no knowledge of where she went after that. Mia says before you start that there's no clear contradiction, so get pressing. Press the first statement, though you won't hear anything new to the case. Press the second statement where Morgan says she told Phoenix and Lotta to contact the police. If the job was just to call the police, then why should two people need to have done it? Morgan says she was confused and that there was another...something. She shuts up after that. Choose to "Question further". She says she didn't want either of you in there because she didn't want any more victims. Press the thid statement. She now says that the statement where she hit Maya on the head to make her fall unconcious was a lie. Franziska says that she way lying to protect the defendant. Choose to "Question further". She was correctly informed later what happened. Press the fourth statement. Franziska says it was easy for Maya to shove away Morgan since she wasn't physically Maya at the time. Now press the fifth statement. She says she was unconcious for about ten minutes. Press the final statement next. Choose to "Question further". Phoenix says if she is so sure she didn't know what Maya did when Morgan was knocked unconcious, how can she be sure Maya left the room at all? Now that you have pressed every statement, the Judge ends the examination. Franziska says the important thing is where Maya went after leaving the chamber. She then goes on to say Maya went to speak with a certain person. She calls in Ini Miney, the only other person near the murder scene at the time. She will testify on what happened with Maya. ---------------------------------------- ~Ini Miney's Testimony-After the Murder~ ---------------------------------------- -Like, when the channeling started, I was, like, sleeping in the Side Room. -Like, a little later, someone came into the room, like, really suddenly. -It was, like, oh my gawd, totally my sister! -I, like, hadn't seen her in, like, so long...I was so happy in, like, a sad way... -My sister...She, like, told me something, like, totally terrible. Ini mentions a terrible thing at the end of her testimony. She said that her sister told her that she was drugged by Doctor Grey, and it was no accident. Then her sister told her she took her revenge on Dr. Grey. Mia then says that this tesitmony was probably just one huge made up lie. Press the fourth statement, about when she saw her sister. Phoenix asks why she wasn't shocked or anything to see her dead sister standing right near her. Choose to "Question further". The Judge will ask if the question of if she really saw her sister or not was important. Choose "It is very important". Ini will change her line of testimony to this: -I wasn't, like, scared at all. And, like, her costume looked, like, normal. Press this new statement. Mia will say that it is impossible for her costume to not having something wrong with it. At this statement, present Maya's Costume. It had spilled blood on it, remember? That should have been very noticeable. Phoenix will show the crime photo and the blood spray on the dress. Ini totally, like, stammers when told she should have noticed the blood right away. Ini snaps for a second, then regains composure. She's gonna testify again. Woo. ---------------------------------------------- ~Ini Miney's Testimony-After the Murder, Pt.2~ ---------------------------------------------- -Like, the Side Room was, like, kinda dark, you know? -So like, the costume is, like, purple, right? The blood totally blended right in. -And I, like, persuaded my sister it wasn't, like, right to do something like that. -And then...like, I took my sister to the Channeling Chamber. Something is odd about the third statement, so press it. What is she taking about when she says the persuaded her sister to do something? Ini says her sister was aware of this and wanted to go apologize to Morgan or something. Now press the final statement. Phoenix will go on to say if there was something that wasn't right with the scene. Choose when she "was going to the crime scene". She answers quickly, so "Press harder". Ini refuses to answer the question, and the Judge asks if this was important at all. Choose "It's very important". Now she'll add this statement: -I, like, didn't see anyone on the way to, like, the Channeling Chamber. Press this new statement. Ini is completely positive she saw nobody in the Winding Way when she was heading to it. However, this is quite false. Present Pearl's profile at this new statement. Pearl was busy fixing the broken urn, and when we talked to her she clearly said nobody passed by. Ini spazzes out for a second at this fact. Now you need to present evidence showing there would be no way to miss Pearl busy in the Winding Way. Present the Sacred Urn. The urn was broken around the time the channeling started. Pearl managed to put it back together in the middle of the Winding Way. Thusly, it would be impossible to miss her passing through it. Well this shows that Ini must have been lying the entire time. She still says she was sleeping in the Side Room, so choose "There is no way!" when Phoenix thinks if this is still true. Phoenix says there is a clear contradiction. To show where, choose "It's in her testimony just now". Ini said that Morgan was the only one in the Channeling Chamber. However, if she was sleeping, how did she know this? So, she did go to the Channeling Chamber but she never went through the Winding Way. So Ini couldn't have been in the Winding Way or the Side Room at the time of the murder. You must now point to where Ini was when the murder took place. Present the in the Channeling Chamber. Ini must have been at the crime scene the entire time. Ini was hiding the entire time in the Channeling Chamber. Now you must present where she was hiding. Point to the right of the folding screen. It's the far right side of the screen, so it's technically "behind" the folding screen. Now you must present evidence to help show how she was hiding. There was a hole in the folding screen. Remember another object with a similar hole? Present the Clothing Box. Anybody could hide in it since Lotta did the same thing yesterday. The Judge will ask if you can prove the clothing box was at the scene of the crime at the time. Choose "Yes, I can with some evidence". Now you need to present how you know the box was there. It should be simple-present the Folding Screen. Yeah, the hole in the box and the hole in the folding screen are at the same height. It can't be a mere coincidence. Ini must have been hiding in the box, waiting for her chance to kill Dr. Grey. So, was the person in the crime photo Ini Miney? She wore a costume to masquerade as Maya the entire time. Franziska will say this is impossible for one person to do by themself. Choose "Correct. It's not possible." Ini starts getting irratated when Phoenix suggests more than one person could have been in cahoots with this plan. Ini had an accomplice. Present Morgan Fey's profile, the only other person at or anywhere near the crime scene. If the person wasn't from the village she couldn't have gotten the costume. If it wasn't someone who lived there, she couldn't have gotten the box. Ini goes crazy now. Phoenix will try to support his own theory. Ini had put herself at the crime scene long before it occured. Dressed in the medium's costume and wearing a wig, she imitated the defendant. Then the channeling started. Ini got out of the box and drugged Maya, then stabbed Dr. Grey with the knife. Then she hid Maya inside the box. She did this to take Maya's place and frame her for the crime. Something unexpected happened. Dr. Grey was not dead, so he took a shot at his attacker. That is why the hole in the folding screen is so low. The murderer took the gun and finished off Dr. Grey. After the gunshot, Phoenix and Lotta forced their way into the room. Several photos were taken. Ini covered her costume in blood, pretending to be Maya. This probably would have been easy to figure out at the crime scene, so that's why Morgan chased you out of the room. Franziska isn't ready to lose the trial just yet, and says that Ini would need a motive to go through this trouble. This should also be simple from what she said in her previous testimony. Present Mimi Miney's profile. She must have gone through this trouble to take revenge on her sister's death. Ini says she was discharged from the hospital six months ago. If she wanted to kill Dr. Grey, why would she have waited this long? The Judge is about to end the trial since you have nothing more to say, but Mia steps in and asks for another minute. Ini had a reason to kill Dr. Grey. Choose "Yes, I can" when asked if you have proof for a motive. There will be a short recess before the final showdown. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 2-4 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-June 22, 12:04 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Maya is a bit surprised at the fact her aunt must have had some part to do with this set-up murder. Franziska will appear and say that everything is going to her plans. She is damn determined to let the world know of Phoenix's downfall. She's a bit creepy. Ooookay. ---------------------------------------- Date-June 22, 12:10 PM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Ini will be asked to testify about the car accident from last year, the main connection in this crime. -------------------------------------------- ~Ini Miney's Testimony-Last Year's Accident~ -------------------------------------------- -That was...like, last year, in May. -Like, something really bad has happened at, like, my sister's clinic around then... -And like, the night of the accident, my sis was totally tired while she was driving. -I was, like, totally pooped too, so I, like, fell asleep in the passenger's seat... -I, like, woke up 'cause of a jolt, and, like, it was a sea of flames around me. -I, like, opened the door and, like, got away. Press the third statement where she talks about how Mimi was tired when driving. She had to talk to police and was being investigated like every day. Choose to "Press harder". Phoenix will ask why they didn't just switch places, making Ini the driver. Ini then says she doesn't have a driver's license. Her line of testimony will change to this: -I, like, didn't have my license, so, like, I couldn't take over driving for her. Bull. We have her her license in the Court Record. Present the License Photo at this statement. Ini then stammers saying she did have a driver's license, but didn't get it until after the accident. Ini then says she recieved her license last November. Ini thinks that even if she had a license her sister wouldn't have allowed her to drive. She will now testify on this matter. --------------------------------------------- ~Ini Miney's Tesitmony-I Wouldn't Be Allowed~ --------------------------------------------- -Like, around that time, I was, like, really close to getting my license. -My sis was, like, this totally big fan of cars and, like, really valued them. -She, like, had just goteen this really shiny, bright red sports car. -She, like, would say things like, "No way am I letting a newb drive my car!" -So, like, that's why I ended up in the passenger's seat that night too. Press the third statement, about how Mimi had just gotten a new sports car. She says it was from the UK. Mimi said it was a really special model. Choose to "Press harder". Ini will change her line of testimony to this: -My sis' new car was, like, a totally special model from England. Press this new statement and "Ask for the heck of it". Remember Phoenix's critical statement that the driver's seat is opposite to the cars in the United States. She then goes crazy about how great the car was. Found the contradiction? Check out Newspaper Clipping 2 in detail. Ini says that she climbed out of the right side door. This wouldn't be a problem if she wasn't the passenger in a car made from England. Since everything is screwed up there, if she was really the passenger she would have climbed out of the LEFT side door. Present the Newspaper Clipping 2 at this statement. So, this means that if Ini was on the right side of the car, she's be in the driver's seat instead. It turns out this is all a big misunderstanding. Who was really driving that night? Choose "Mimi Miney". She was the only person with a driver's license. Now comes the million dollar question-who the hell is the person at the witness's stand? Now you must tell her real name. Present Mimi Miney's profile. She was admitted into the hosptial with facial burns. To put her face back together they needed a picture as refrence, and it was Ini's picture she gave. It was thought Mimi had died in the car accident, when infact the opposite was true. The dead body at the crash site was the real Ini Miney. Mimi survived the crash and rebuilt her face to mimic Ini's so nobody would recongize the difference. Now this is why Mimi had to kill Dr. Grey. He wanted to call the spirit to a dead person, specifically Mimi Miney. That would have been impossible since Mimi wasn't actually dead. If the channeling had actually occured, this would have been discovered. Ini...or Mimi says that she's finally been unmasked. Mimi now says that the doctor finally got what was coming to him in the end. You need to present why Mimi was so willing to let go of herself. Present Newspaper Clipping 1. Dr. Grey was actually right the whole time. The mistake was caused by Mimi. A few weeks after this mishap she got into a car accident where her younger sister was killed. This was her last chance to throw away her old life and start over as her sister. Well, looks like you've won. Just before you get the Not Guilty verdict, Franziska goes psycho and whips Phoenix into submission. ---------------------------------------------- Date-June 22, 3:13 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Mia and Maya have a short and sweet reunion with each other. Mia also says that she stored her clothes in that box long ago as well. Phoenix now wonders what would have happened if Mimi didn't shoot Dr. Grey. She probably would have opened the doors anyways, and the scene would have been that much more shocking. Maya then demands to know why Morgan went through all of this trouble to get her convicted of murder. Present Pearl's profile. The new master will be delcared in several years, and next in line is Maya. If Maya wasn't there to take the place of master, then Pearl would have been the next in line to become master. Well that's some crazy stuff. All this just to make Pearl the next master. Hmm. ------------------------------------------------------- Date-Date and Time unknown Location-Detention Center; Solitary Confinement Cell 13 ------------------------------------------------------- Clearly Morgan is the one speaking here. She says only Pearl is the one suitable to become the next master of Kurain Village. She admits to sacrificing herself just to have her become the next master. All to unseat Maya. She says Pearl's time will come soon... This is the end of the case. Episode 3 will now be unlocked. =========================================================================== ~7.Episode Three-Turnabout Big Top~ =========================================================================== The intro to this case starts in what appears to be a large circus show. Deemed someone who's master flight, the scene pans upwards towards the famous Maximillion Galactica. He flies around for a bit, then vanishes. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 3-1 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ------------------------------------------ Date-December 26, 8:12 PM Location-Berry Big Circus; Circus Entrance ------------------------------------------ Turns out Phoenix, Pearl, and Maya were here to watch the show as well. Seems like Phoenix has a tough time finding cases, it's been about five months since the last one. Maya mentions Max Galactica, the world's greatest magician. Maya and Pearl head back to Kurain Village, Maya promising to be back by the New Year. --------------------------------- Date-December 28, 9:12 AM Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Phoenix intends on cleaning up his office when Maya calls his phone. She orders Phoenix to turn on the TV for an important announcement. Back at the Berry Big Circus, a murder has taken place. That's the circus they all went to two days ago. Turns out Max Galactica was the one who was suspected and arrested. Maya says she'll meet Phoenix in the detention center. Looks like you've taken on this case whether you wanted to or not. ----------------------------------------- Date-December 28, 11:19 AM Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Maya has arrived and exclaims that there's no way Max Galactica would ever kill somebody. You'll see Max through the glass now, and yes, he calls almost everything fabulous. He then plays a magic trick with Maya for a second, then tries it on Phoenix. Although he picks a card, Max still just talks to Maya. Seems he really likes people who admire him. Might as well talk to the fabulous Max Galactica. Talk to him about "Max Galactica". Max seems really over-egoistic here, and then Phoenix says that he recently won an award. He won the Magician's Grand Prix, held by an association of magicians. The award pretty makes him the most fabulous of fabulous magicians. There was a trophy and a bust. Now ask him about the "Berry Big Circus". He talks about how he is the lead magician of the Berry Big Circus. He also says that it's a thing of the past. Nowadays nobody cares what goes on there. That's why he signed a contract to the place, so he could make it more fabulous. He goes on to say he makes all the other performers obsolete. Jerk. Now ask about "What happened". Last night, the ringmaster Russell Berry was murdered. Somebody smashed his head and he was found lying on the ground. Even though it occured in the middle of the night, there was a ton of police activity. Max was also the last person to see the ringmaster before he was murdered. He makes it sound like he hasn't been arrested-that the police are merely questioning him. Now ask about "Meeting with Russell". Max doesn't feel like talking about what he talked about with Russell. Just then, three Psyche Locks appear on him. Unless your Attorney's Badge can answer all the questions, just keep this at the back of your mind for now. Present your Attorney's Badge, though. It's hard but Maya will eventually manage to break the truth to Max that he's really been arrested for murder. Max then starts bawling, saying there's no way he'd ever kill someone. He then starts using country talk, just as annoying as Lotta's from the previous case. He also says his real name is Billy Bog Johns, and that he is really a country bumpkin. You've taken on the case now. Move to the circus entrance. ------------------------------------------ Date-December 28 Location-Berry Big Circus; Circus Entrance ------------------------------------------ There's a bunch of police investigators running amok, obviously trying to find important evidence. Maya says you should find somebody to help with the case. Move to the Lodging House. ----------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Lodging House; Plaza ----------------------------- This appears to be a dormatory where all of the circus performers live. You will meet up with Detective Gumshoe here. Talk to Gumshoe about "Tomorrow's trial". Franziska von Karma is going to be the prosecutor for this case as well. Seems she hasn't had enough on Phoenix just yet. Maya also asks Gumshoe about the whereabouts of Edgeworth. Gumshoe isn't exactly willing to tell you the details of what happened to him. He says he just isn't here anymore. Phoenix also tells Maya to not say his name again. Now ask about "What happened". The ringmaster died around 10 PM, outside in the cold. The body was found right around this lodge, actually. The ringmaster was killed by a blunt force to the head. He mentions that something just didn't fit right. Now ask about "Something unusual". Turns out there were footprints. He then shows you a picture of the crime scene. Russell is lying in the snow ontop of a box. The footprints belong to Russell, so the problem is that the killer's footprints are nowhere around. So who was the killer and where did they come from? CRIME PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. Now present Max's profile. Gumshoe says most people don't like Max, probably because of his attitude. Gumshoe also has proof of his crime. He left one of his hat's at the crime scene. SILK HAT will be added to the Court Record. He says that eyewitnesses saw the event and know about it. Talk about "Eyewitnesses" now. He won't tell you who they are, but he says you're not permitted to enter the lodging house. Now head to the Big Top. ---------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Berry Big Circus; Big Top ---------------------------------- It really should seem like an unsafe, or really stupid idea to be messing in the area where the performers...perform. Unfortunately, a tiger charges right at Phoenix and Maya. A young girl appears, appearently she is the lion tamer. The girl is also amused at how Maya has her own costume. Heh. She introduces herself as Regina Berry, the animal tamer for the Berry Big Circus. Talk to Regina about "What happened". She seems to announce confidently that her father was murdered. Everyone was here practicing last night. They all finished at around 10 PM. Regina stayed at the Big Top, though, to play with her tiger Regent. Now ask about "Regina". She playfully admits that Regent nor any of the other animals are scary at all. She also says that since Leon died she's been hanging with Regent. Regina's dad killed Leon. She isn't too sure why he was killed, though. Present Russell Berry's profile. Regina will say he went back to his room once practice was over, and she'll point the way to his room. Head to his room now. ----------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Big Top; Ringmaster's Room ----------------------------------- This must have been the room where Max and Russell were talking last night. Maya also notices a large picture of Max on the wall. Examine the paper envelope on the table. Max's salary is written on the paper, and the ringmaster signed it. Max's salary was clearly raised, but the document was dated a week ago. RINGMASTER'S PAPERS will be added to the Court Record now. Examine the black tuxedo in the corner of the room next. A piece of paper is hanging out of the coat. You aren't allowed to read it, though. Now examine the posters on the back wall. Turns out Maya already swiped one of the posters when you were busy. MAX G. PROMO POSTER will be added to the Court Record. There's nothing left to do here, head back out. ---------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Berry Big Circus; Big Top ---------------------------------- Present Max's profile. You'll break the news to her that Max has been arrested. She says she's worried about many things right now. Talk to her about "What's on your mind?" She tells just Maya, and she gets real excited and happy for Regina. She says that someone professed their love for Regina. Now only that, but it was Max Galactica who did just so. On the same day another person also professed their love. It was some guy named Trilo. Head back to the entrance. ------------------------------------------ Date-December 28 Location-Berry Big Circus; Circus Entrance ------------------------------------------ You'll find a man in a white tuxedo with a huge red bow tie standing around the tent entrance. He says that he doesn't work at the circus, and seems a bit quiet about it. Then he goes on to say he's a ventriloquist after slightly being insulted. He says he's Benjamin Woodman. Talk to him about "What happened". He tries to say he doesn't know anything about the murder, but keeps stuttering. Now ask about "Max Galactica". He says he's not too friendly. Now ask about "Ventriloquism". He seems to say something about his puppet...but doesn't get further than that. Head back to the Lodging Area and enter Moe's room. ------------------------------------------ Date-December 28 Location-Lodgin Hall 1st Floor; Moe's Room ------------------------------------------ You'll meet up with Moe, naturally since this is his room. He's a pretty over-the-top clown for the circus. He keeps trying to make really horrible jokes with pretty much every statement. Yeah, he'll laugh at everything he says. Quite annoying. When he finally shuts up long enough for you to talk to him, ask about the "Berry Big Circus". He says the circus has been in business for over 20 years. All this time they've performed under Russell Berry. He says this kind of entertainment has become more and more difficult to work with over the years. Moe has been here since the very beginning. He also admits that Russell was a really kind guy, always thinking of his employees. He's ticked that someone would outright kill him. Now ask about "What happened". He says it happened around 10 PM last night. He came back to his room at around that time, then caught a peek of the action when he went to bed. Moe is the eyeiwtness to the crime as Gumshoe hinted at. Now ask about "Russell Berry". Russell was constantly adding new acts to the show. He says that Max takes things too far, though. He seems to be hiding something about Max on the day of the murder. Now ask about "What you witnessed". Moe isn't allowed to tell you anything he witnessed, but he might let it go for a joke. A really horrible joke told by Wright. Anyways, Moe heard a loud noise that night. It sounded like a loud thump. Thagt's when he saw someone in a cap and top hat, near Russell's dead body. Next, present Max's profile. Moe says that the morning of the murder he clonked Ben on the head very hard. He suggests that you go to the cafeteria and investigate. CIRCUS MAP will be added to the Court Record after he hands it to you. Move to the Big Top, and from there to the Cafeteria. --------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Big Top; Cafeteria --------------------------- Moe said, in a really bad pun, there's "Gotti" be something here. This place is a terrible mess due to nobody being able to pick up the place once the murder happened. The only thing you need to do is examine the broken bottle on the ground. BROKEN BOTTLE will be added to the Court Record. You have enough evidence to break Mac's Psyche Locks now, so head back to him. ----------------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Talk to Max about "Max Galactica". He thinks that the other performers are just jealous. He also says that he plans to get married to Regina, and that most of it is in the works right now. Now ask about "What happened". Max goes on to say that when he was in Russell's room at 10 PM, Russell needed to leave for a few minutes. Max stayed in the room. He never came back, and he was unaware where he went. Time to present the Magatama. ------------------------------------------------------ ~Max Galactica's Magatama Secret-Meeting with Russell~ ------------------------------------------------------ Phoenix asks if the only thing Max did in Russell's room was discuss his salary. You need to present something that proves he discussed more than just that. Present the Ringmaster's Papers. The main problem with this is that it was dated a week ago. He says that on that night the ringmaster actually called him to his room. Now you need to present something that shows what he was called into the room to discuss. Present the Broken Bottle. The second lock will break. He says the bottle just fell onto the floor, but you need to present what really happened. Present Ben's profile. Max hit Ben over the head with the bottle. That's why he was called to the room. Now ask about "Meeting with Russell". On that morning at breakfast, Ben and Max had a run in. They had a fight over Regina. Max got upset that somebody else was competing for Regina's love so he hit him over the head with a bottle. He was called to the ringmaster's room about this, and that was his chance to ask him to marry Regina. Since Ben was causing trouble he had to shut him up. Now ask about "Shut him up". Unless Trilo is with Ben (Trilo is his puppet), Ben hardly says a word. Max decided to hide Trilo in the ringmaster's room. Head over to the room right now. ----------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Big Top; Ringmaster's Room ----------------------------------- You need to find Trilo in this room. Examine the trophy case on the left side of the room to discover Trilo lying inside. TRILO QUIST will be added to the Court Record. Head to the cafeteria to meet up with Ben. --------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Big Top; Cafeteria --------------------------- Talk to Ben about "What happened". Ben still says he doesn't know anything. Now ask about "Berry Big Circus". He says that he doesn't really like Regina too much. Seems odd since I thought Regina said he wanted to marry her. Anyways, present Trilo to Ben. It will be removed from the Court Record now. Now for something odd, all of Ben's thoughts will be projected through the puppet. You can freely talk to him now. Ask about "What happened". Trilo says the he probably deserved it since he payed him very little for his work. Now ask about "Berry Big Circus". Yeah. Trilo flat out says most things in this circus suck. He says that even in this pool of misfit circus performers he found someone to love- Regina. Trilo says he wants to marry Regina. Now ask about "Flying Fraud". Trilo says that he has the facts because he was there when the murder took place. Now ask about "Marriage". He says that he gave her a gift of song. He says that he wants to get to court to finally get rid of Max Galactica. ---------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Berry Big Circus; Big Top ---------------------------------- Head back to the entrance. On your way, a monkey will attack you and steal your Attorney's Badge. Regina says that his name is Money and she is willing to help you out. Talk about "Money the Monkey". She says that Moe probably knows where he is hiding. Now ask about "Ben and Trilo". Trilo told Regina he was in love with her, not Ben. Now ask about the "Proposal". This won't really get you anywhere. She just acts like a naive girl, not aware Trilo is a friggin puppet. Head to Moe now. ------------------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Lodging Hall 1st Floor; Moe's Room ------------------------------------------- Talk to Moe about "Regina". He says that Regina was born and raised in the Big Top, and knows little about the outside world. Now ask about "Money the Monkey". Moe is willing to take you to the owner of Money right now. Choose to "Go with Moe". -------------------------------------------- Date-December 28 Location-Lodging Hall 3rd Floor; Acro's Room -------------------------------------------- This is Acro's room. He's an acrobat for the circus. Moe says that Acro is out for the day. Before he leaves, MONEY THE MONKEY data will be added to the Court Record. Examine the pile of junk in the corner of the room. PHOENIX'S ATTORNEY'S BADGE will be added to the Court Record again. Phoenix then finds a ring reading "From T to R" on it. RING will be added to the Court Record. That wraps up this day. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 3-2 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-December 29, 9:43 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 5 ---------------------------------------------- Max is here, and he seems a bit troubled. He desires a glass of milk, but is denied his request. The he says he wants to make a flying entrance into the courtroom. Hehe, but Phoenix wishes it could be him that'd make the entrance... ---------------------------------------- Date-December 29, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- The Judge starts off by calling Max Galactica by his stage name due to his granddaughter being a big fan. Franziska is still ticked off at the whole spirit channeling sham and says that it totally doesn't count for anything. Good to know she's doing well. Gumshoe is the first witness called up. ------------------------------------------ ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Detail of the Events~ ------------------------------------------ -The night of the crime, snow was falling until 9:40 PM, making it extremely cold out. -All of the circus performers gathered in the Big Top to practice their routines. -The pracitce session broke up around 10 PM. -The murder itself took place in the plaza in front of the lodging house at 10:15 PM. -The victim was found bent over a wooden box dead as a doornail. -The cause of death was blunt force trauma that snapped a vertebrae in his neck. You will recieve RUSSELL'S AUTOPSY REPORT into the Court Record before the cross examination. Start by pressing the first statement. You'll learn nothing of interest. Now press the second statement. Gumshoe says all the main performers, excluding the dancers and leaders, were there at the practice. Press the third statement next. He mentions where everyone went after the practice was over. You already know Max and Russell went back to the ringmaster's room to discuss the salary, and Moe went back to his room. Now press the fourth statement. You'll get nothing out of it. Pressing the fifth statement will make Gumshoe talk about the wooden box. He says the box was locked and heavier than it looked. WOODEN BOX will be added to the Court Record. You can ask a question about the box itself. Choose "About the contents". The only thing inside of the box was a small bottle, filled with pepper. SMALL SEASONING BOTTLE will be added to the Court Record. Does this hold any significance...? Press the final statement. Nobody knows what the murder weapon is, it's still being searched for. Now that you've pressed all the statements, the examination will end. Franziska then calls Ben and Trilo to the stand. After Trilo badmouths almost everyone in the courtroom several times, he'll finally testify about what he saw. ---------------------------------------------- ~Ben and Trilo's Testimony-What You Witnessed~ ---------------------------------------------- -Once practice was over, I left the tent with the stooge...I mean clown. -Once we got to the lodging house, I ditched him and went over to the plaza. -That's when I saw Max heading towards the scene of the crime. -He was the only one heading that way...How could that punk not be the killer? -Then police showed up, and took magic boy away. Before you can to examine him, the Judge asks if it was possible at all for Moe to have committed the crime since nobody was with him. Franziska says that was impossible since the silk hat, a signature feature of Max, was found at the scene. Yeah, as if that couldn't have been just planted there easily. Press Trilo's third statement when he mentions seeing Max head over to the scene of the crime. He says that his 3-piece getup is impossible to not notice. He's referring to his silk hat, cloak, and white roses around his neck. Now press the fourth statement about him being the only one heading that way. Trilo will say he was certain he only saw Max. You can ask a question here, so choose "Ben only saw Max?" You will need to show who else he should have seen. Present Russell Berry's profile. If Max was heading off in that direction to the ringmaster's room, he would have to have seen Russell as well. Press the fifth statement next. Ben says that the police didn't arrive until 10:30 PM, and that he was standing in the cold the entire time. Phoenix guesses they were waiting for someone. Now you need to present who he was waiting for. Present Regina's profile. Yes, Trilo just exploded. If Trilo was waiting for Regina, whom he says he was, then he easily wouldn't have cared who else walked past him. He was waiting to propose to her. Now we're gonna hear a testimony about the proposal. What the hell. ---------------------------------------------- ~Ben and Trilo's Testimony-About the Proposal~ ---------------------------------------------- -Don't be so surprised that I was going to propose to Regina! -I even had something to give to her... -I kept it in my pocket, waiting for the chance to propose and give it to her. -Of course, I also had it in my pocket that night. It was a present for her. -In the end, I wasn't able to give it to her, so I've still got it in my pocket! Press the second statement to learn about what the present he intended to give Regina is. It was an engagement ring. Franziska looks ticked off, and even though pain=bad, choose to "Push on anyway". Trilo's testimony will change to this: -I planned on giving an engagement ring to Regina... There's something odd with the testimony here. Remember the ring you have in the Court Record that says "From T to R"? T may stand for Trilo and R for Regina...and if that were true, then YOU have the ring, now Trilo. Present the Ring at the last statement now. This only works if the above line of testimony gets added. Phoenix says that Money the Monkey likes to go after shiny objects. Ben says that the ring was stolen from him on the night of the crime. It was stolen right after Max showed up in the plaza. The ring was taken around that time. Trilo says that once the ring was stolen he gave chase after the monkey. Ben was unable to catch up the Money and couldn't retrieve the ring. This proves one important point. Choose "Ben's testimony has a flaw." Trilo said that he was in the plaza up until the point which the police arrived. However, he just stated that he went chasing after the monkey. There was nobody watching the plaza at this point, then. Now this means that someone other than the defendant could have been in the plaza. Phoenix and Franziska argue for a bit, then he'll testify yet again. ------------------------------------------ ~Ben and Trilo's Testimony-Witnessing Max~ ------------------------------------------ -I'll give you that I was waiting that night for Regina. -But that doesn't change the fact that I saw Max in the plaza that night! -He showed up after I had been waiting there for about five minutes. -I said "good evening" to him, but he didn't even acknowledge my presence! -I'm absolutely sure it was him! I saw Maximillion Galactica at the scene!! -There's no way I could mistake someone wearing those three rediculous symbols. The contradiction is lying flat out in the open, but it probably isn't too obvious. Note that Trilo said "good evening" to what we think is Max. However, we know that Ben and Trilo severely dislike Max for one major reason, especially on that day. Present the Broken Bottle at the fourth statement. A fight with Max ensued in the cafeteria, and Ben ended up getting conked on the head with a bottle. There's no way Trilo would be so friendly at that time of night. Now you need to explain your theory further. Choose "He saw a different person". If Trilo had really seen Max, there would have been no greeting. Thusly, the person he saw was not Max. That's why he bothered to greet this person. Now you need to show who it was that Trilo saw then. Present Russell Berry's profile. That is why Trilo greeted him, it was Russell he saw, not Max. Now Trilo says he thought it was Russell at first, but then realized it was Max. Trilo then says he clearly saw the three symbols that make Max's outfit. Finally Phoenix says that somebody else could have been dressing up as him. Franziska says that the next witness will be able to determine who the one person that Trilo saw really was. A short recess will be taken. Save the game. ---------------------------------------------- Date-December 29, 11:54 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 5 ---------------------------------------------- Max says that he didn't go anywhere near the crime scene. He still says that he was in the ringmaster's room the entire time. Now he admits that he went to the ringmaster's room still dressed in his usual outfit. When he got to the room, though, he took them off. This means that the ringmaster could have taken his costume, therefore looking like Max. Then he says that only silk hat was found at the scene. What about his cloak and his roses? There's nothing else to describe now. Back to court. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 3-3 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------- Date-December 29, 12:06 PM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Moe is going to testify on what he saw last night. Recall that he did see the murder take place. Ignore his first testimony-it's a fake. The real one comes after it. Don't miss the Fresh Prince quote he says before tesifying, though. ---------------------------------------------- ~Moe the Clown's Testimony-What You Witnessed~ ---------------------------------------------- -The night of the murder, after practice was over, I went straight back to my room. -You have no idea how tired I was that night. I was pooped. -I thought I'd go straight to sleep, but before I did, I glanced out the window. -That's when I saw two silhouettes! They were a bit far away though! -It was the Ringmaster, and he was with Max, who was wearing his cloak! -I kept watching them and, all of a sudden, Max clonked the Ringmaster over the head. The Judge warns you that pressing Moe too hard will result in useless chatter, and tells you to refrain from doing it. Bascially, you will lose 2/10ths of your health bar for each bad press. Don't screw around with Moe. Start off by pressing the third statement where he says he glanced out of the window. Be sure to "Keep pressing" even though Moe keeps dodging the question at hand. Phoenix then says that Moe said yesterday he heard a loud noise, and looks out of the window at that time. Moe then rebutts saying he forgot about that. Moe looked out of the window because of the loud sound, not because he felt like it. This line of testimony will change to this: -I heard a huge noise outside the window, and that's what made me take a look outside... You'll need this for later. Now press the next statement where he says he saw two figures outside. Moe says the figures were about 30 feet away from his bedroom window. It was snowing that night, so visibility was low. Press the final statement now about Max hitting Russell on the head with a weapon. Moe is also unaware of what the murder weapon is. You will start to demand knowing if he saw the murder or not, and Franziska will pop in saying you better have a good reason for harassing him. Tell her that "Of course I do!" when asked if you have proof he didn't see the crime. The reason is Moe's own testimony. There's a great flaw, though. Moe said he heard a great thumping noise, and also said that he saw Max hit the ringmaster with the murder weapon. There's no way he could have heard the sound, then looked out of the window to see the murder. Now he says that when he looked out of the window, the ringmaster was already lying face down in the snow. Franziska helped fill in the gaps in his statements. Moe goes on to say that although he didn't see the actual crime, he did see the murderer. He saw someone silhouette next to the ringmaster's dead body. He's gonna testify again on this matter. ------------------------------------------ ~Moe the Clown's Testimony-The Silhouette~ ------------------------------------------ -I was a bit far away, but that shadow could only have belonged to Max. -There's no doubting it. Especially since I saw his uppity symbols. -His silk hat. That black cloak. They were all there! -His face was still silhouetted, but there was no doubt that it was him. -His cloak was fluttering in the wind, so I couldn't really see what he was carrying. Phoenix says it's not enough to just prove Moe was wrong, but suspicion that someone else could have committed the murder must be made. The contradiction in his testimony is lying quite visible, but it's not likely you'd think of it right away. At Moe's third statement he mentions two of Max's symbols. However, he has three. He's missing the white roses. Present the Max G. Promo Poster here. Franziska tries saying that it's not really important-it's just one symbol he forgot to mention. Moe then says that there weren't any roses on the person he saw. Despite it being dark out, the white roses would have stuck out well. There's no way he could have missed them. Franziska then says they must have falled off at the crime scene. However, they would have been found if that had happened. Remember that Trilo said that he saw all three symbols, but Moe just now says he saw two. This is a clear contradiction to what Moe has just said. The Judge is nearly ready to call a verdict, but he still has some doubt left. Moe will testify one last time. -------------------------------------------------- ~Moe the Clown's Testimony-The Silhouette, Part 2~ -------------------------------------------------- -There's no doubt in my mind! There were no white roses that night! -However, all of the other symbols were there...I'm equally sure of that. -Especially the silk hat! There is no way I could forget seeing the decorations on it! -He was wearing it the entire time that he was on the scene! If you press any statement, like the Judge warned you not to, you will get severely penalized. The contradiction is lying out in the open once again. On the final statement, he says Max was wearing his silk hat the entire time. However, it ended up on the ground. Thusly, he must have dropped it at some point. Present the Silk Hat here. There's no way he could have been wearing it the entire time if it was found at the crime scene. Moe then goes on in frantic outbursts, insulting the Judge several times that his own eyesight is perfectly fine and that he did see Max. Then he says that he left the scene wearing his silk hat still. Phoenix asks just how exactly the murderer left the scene. Moe says that all he did was turn and walk away. Now you need to present proof that Moe is wrong on how the criminal left the scene. Present the Crime Photo. The only footprint here are of Russell Berry. There's no traces of anyone else's footprints. Phoenix demands that all of Moe's testmonies be erased due to complete unreliability. Moe then says he's finally ready to tell the truth. Then he says Franziska was really the one that formed his testimonies, but he's ready to come clean now. ------------------------------------- ~Moe the Clown's Testimony-The Truth~ ------------------------------------- -Now it's time for our next segment, "Moe Knows". -Everything I have said up until now has been the truth! -When I looked out of the window, the Ringmaster was down, and Max was standing above him. -He was not wearing his roses, but he was wearing the silk hat! -Now, this is the best bit. That's when I saw him...fly through the air! -He flew right off and disappeared into the darkness! -That's why there were no footprints. Flying criminals don't leave footprints. Before you cros examine the Judge will ask your opinion on his wierd testimony. Choose "His eyes are playing tricks". It doesn't really matter since the Judge is tired of this useless story telling by Moe. The main thing you must find tonight is why there were no footprints on the scene. ---------------------------------------------- Date-December 29, 2:33 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 5 ---------------------------------------------- Max demands to know what is happening. Then he says that he's never actually flying when on stage, rather invisible wires are attached to him to give him that appearence. The only chance you have now is to find and catch the real criminal. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 3-4 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ --------------------------------- Date-December 29, 3:03 PM Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Maya admits that she's horrible at figuring out magic tricks. She goes on to say that Pearl showed her a magic trick once and she was totally dumbfounded. She pulled the classic "pull the thumb off" gag. Phoenix then does the trick as well and Maya seems stupified. Again. Talk about "What to do" now. Maya isn't so sure that the criminal really flew off through the air. Now ask about "Any ideas". Although Max is a total ass, Maya doesn't think that's enough to frame a murder on him. Eh, we're totally lost here. Head back to the circus. ------------------------------------------ Date-December 29 Location-Berry Big Circus; Circus Entrance ------------------------------------------ When you arrive you overhear two people arguing. Ben and Trilo are busy practicing their singing. They're trying to sing as a new round for their ventrilquist act. Eh. Maya hands back the ring to Trilo. Talk about "Today's trial" now. They say that they thought they saw the ringmaster at first, but realized it was Max. If he wasn't wearing his symbols that would have assumed it was the ringmaster. Ask about "Marriage" next. Trilo says he's just waiting for Regina to come by to propose to her. Now ask about "Ventriloquism". Trilo seems pumped to take the ventriloquist act around the world. He says he wants to win the Grand Prix next, and Maya says the he's the doll now, man. Head over to Lodging House. ----------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Lodging House; Plaza ----------------------------- You'll meet Gumshoe here. Phoenix was right in assuming Franziska would force him to listen to Moe's jokes for a long time. He says he doesn't want to backwhip Franziska since she's always got her eyes on them. He says the she is directly above you right now. She is in Acro's room at the moment, since the criminal would have to have flown into or past it as Moe put it. Gumshoe says not to get any ideas of going up there. Shouldn't get involved near Franziska, that's for sure. You can't enter his room right now, and you should flat out stay away from it anyways. For now, head back to the cafeteria. --------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Big Top; Cafeteria --------------------------- You will meet up with Moe when you enter the cafeteria. He seems to be in a good mood despite what happened in court earlier today. Ask Moe about "Today's trial". He says that it was tough for him because he wasn't able to make anyone laugh. He seems really ticked off nobody is laughing at his jokes. Now ask about "What you witnessed". He is positive that he saw someone float through the air. Since no Psyche Locks appeared he must be telling the truth about this. Now that we know this, head back to Max. ----------------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Max says that a TV crew appeared a little while ago, saying that he should be getting his own TV special. They are calling it a prison escape, actually. He mornfully says he can't do it before he gets an aquittal, though, as that'd just hurt his chances of getting a not guilty verdict. He asks you to hurry up and get him out of here. Ask about "Night of the murder". He goes back over the events once more. At the time of the murder, he was sitting in the ringmaster's room. Flying off into the sky is something he can't do at will. Now ask about "Today's trial". Maya asks why he can't be friends with the other performers. He says that the other performers aren't full of ambition and that is why he doesn't like them as much. Now ask about the "Grand Prix". He holds up a picture of him winning the International Grand Prix, and this picture is also in color. Whoa. He asks you to show the picture to the other performers. GRAND PRIX PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. Head to the Cafeteria for another talk with Moe. --------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Big Top; Cafeteria --------------------------- Present the Grand Prix Photo to Moe. Moe says that he's seen this picture before. He also says that Max showed him his bust, and that it was really big too. Max pretty much made them all worship his enormous bust. Now talk about "Max's Bust" since we should figure out what the hell a bust is to begin with. Moe says that the bust should be on the table nearby. It isn't, and Moe says that about five days ago the bust disappeared. MAX G. BUST will be added to the Court Record. He also mentions that one thing here is slightly different. Ask about "What's changed". On the morning of the crime, a piece of paper was posted on the bullitin board. It was torn, so only the title is visible. It reads "To the Murderer". NOTE will be added to the Court Record. Now you need to find the other half of this piece of paper. Head to the Detention Center again. ----------------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Present the Note you just recieved to Max. He knows all about this note. When head read it for the first time, his heart jumped a bit. While enjoying his morning tea, the ringmaster and company entered the room. When he read the note, his face turned real red. He tore the note off the wall and stuck it into the pocket of his tailcoat. He isn't going to spoil what is on the note for you. Head back to the Ringmaster's Room. ----------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Big Top; Ringmaster's Room ----------------------------------- Examine the black coat at the back of the room once again. Remember the piece of paper stuck in it? You will finally get to read what is on this note. The piece of paper here indeed is the other half of the ripped note. The note reads "I have conclusive evidence of what took place. Meet at 10 PM tonight at the lodging house plaza." That's the time the murder took place. NOTE will be updated in the Court Record. Now we just need to find out who wrote that note and we should be able to pinpoint the murderer from there. Head back to the Lodging Plaza now. ----------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Lodging House, Plaza ----------------------------- Gumshoe says that he is done with his investigation for now. He then hear's a strange sound. Anytime that irritating sound is heard, Franziska isn't too far behind. Gumshoe thinks it's a best idea to run away, and he does just that. Franziska appears soon after whipping Maya from a distance. She says that tomorrow will finally be the day that she defeats the almighty Phoenix Wright. Talk about "Tomorrow's trial". She says she has conclusive evidence and a conclusive witness. There's not much else to the story. She is, of course, referring to the acrobat. Now ask about "Revenge". She says that her revenge on you isn't actually just to destroy you. It's actually to get somebody else back. Phoenix is just a small roadblock. She's talking about Miles Edgeworth. Now ask about "Miles Edgeworth". It was Karma who trained him to be a prosecutor in the first place. Miles was like a little brother to Franziska. After the fourth case from the previous game, Edgeworth vanished. Franziska accuses Phoenix that it's his fault he is gone. Now ask about "Edgeworth's death". After the case, Edgeworth seemed traumatized and got worse each day. He never came back to court. One day, he just vanished. All he left was a note that said "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death." Franziska doesn't buy it, though. She's still sure he's alive somewhere. Phoenix must have killed his inner prosecutional skills. There's nothing left here. Head up to Acro's Room. -------------------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Lodging Hall 3rd Floor; Acro's Room -------------------------------------------- The odd looking man you meet says he is Ken Dingling, or Acro as most people here call him. Acro says that he performs mainly on the tightrope and whatnot, but for a while all he's been performing in is his wheelchair. Talk to him about "Berry Big Circus". When Acro was a kid, his parents failed at business. They just ran away from it all, leaving Acro and his brother. The ringmaster was willing to take in the kids. He was a lifesaver to Acro. He says he wanted to find a way to repay him, but now that's impossible since he's been killed. Maya says that Regina is truly a princess, but Acro thinks otherwise. Now ask about the "Wheelchair". The nerves in his legs were badly damaged, and is stuck to his wheelchair now. He lives on the third floor of the building, so he can't even leave by himself. He won't go any further when three Psyche Locks appear on him. His injury clearly wasn't related to an acrobatic accident. He injured himself six months ago. Now ask about "What happened". He says he wasn't in his room yesterday because he was in the hospital. He wasn't sure if the murder was real or not before going to the hospital. Now ask further with "What you witnessed". He looked out of his window the night before when he heard a loud noise, and saw Max flying straight up into the air. That isn't going to help us at all. Head back to the Big Top. ---------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Berry Big Circus; Big Top ---------------------------------- Regina will appear again to stop the bear from eating Phoenix. She was hoping to teach someone a lesson, but ended up with Phoenix instead of who she was looking for. Talk to her about "Russell Berry". She says that she feel's lonely that she won't be able to see him for a while. She seems like one really messed up girl. Ask about "Money the Monkey" next. She says she wanted to teach him a lesson because he is so mean. Turns out that Money stole one of her stage costumes. She asks if you see the costume to retrieve it for her. Answer any of the choices, it doesn't matter at all. Now, present the Note. Regina says she knows what that is since it was in her pocket for a while. She noticed it was there around breakfast. She goes to Acro's room each morning to give him his breakfast, take out the trash, then heads to the cafeteria herself to eat breakfast. Since she figured she's not a murderer, she thought it belonged to someone else. She thought someone should know about it and stuck it up onto the bulletin board. NOTE will be updated in the Court Record now. Head back to Moe's Room now. ------------------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Lodging Hall 1st Floor; Moe's Room ------------------------------------------- Moe isn't here right now, but someone else is. Money is in the room, and he's holding Regina's dress that she told you to get for her. Now you need to figure out how to get the monkey's attention. Choose "Give it back, Monkey-brain!" Money will run away while Phoenix tries to have a man-to-man talk with the monkey, but Phoenix will swipe the dress away from him when he's distracted. STAGE COSTUME will be added to the Court Record. Head back over to the Big Top to give this to Regina. ---------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Berry Big Circus; Big Top ---------------------------------- Present the Stage Costume you just found. She says that the costume wasn't actually hers, it was Leon's. Now ask about "Leon". She says Leon was killed because he did something bad during practice. She mentions that when Leon was opening his mouth, she would stick her head into his mouth. During one practice session, Leon bit someone. LEON will be added to the Court Record. We need to have another discussion with Moe. He still knows something quite important to this case. Head back to the Cafeteria. --------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Big Top; Cafeteria --------------------------- What's that smell? It's...burgers! Moe turns out to be cooking up some burgers right now. What is it with Maya and other various people with crazy burger fetishes? Talk about the "Berry Big Circus" now. Turns out when Acro found out about the murder he was quite livid. He was so upset he hardly felt like living anymore. Moe has been thinking that he should just quit his job while he has the chance. He's thinking he should try replacing the ringmaster. Max would still be an issue to work with, though, but it is hard to argue with his importance. He admits that many things he says are true, that he is the reason the circus is so lively. He's hoping that everyone could just get over the tradjety. Ask about "Get over it?" and Moe says yes to when Maya guesses he's talking about Russell's death. Two Psyche Locks appear over him now. He says a small accident occured six months ago. He thinks everyone should just get over the accident, but he makes it seem that the topic of it is brought up every now and then. Present the Magatama. ---------------------------------------------- ~Moe the Clown's Magatama Secret-Get Over It?~ ---------------------------------------------- Phoenix asks what happened six months ago that is so important. Phoenix thinks he knows something about the accident. You need to present the cause of the accident. Present Leon (he's in the Court Record). Leon did something during his performance, and that is what this accident must be a cause of. One of the locks will shatter. Moe told Regina many times that she should have Leon do so many dangerous things during performances. Putting heads into Leon's mouth was all part of the act. Regina believed in Leon, and Russell believed in Regina, so he kept going along with it. Moe promised not to tell who was bitten during the accident. He mentions someone else was involved in this accident, too. You need to present who it is made Moe promise not to tell anything. Present Acro's profile. Moe is ready to tell the truth, as he thinks now this accident may help figure out who the murderer is. The second lock will break off. Now ask about "Get over it?" He says it would have been better off if someone had died during the accident. When the person was bitten, he suffered major brain damage. The man will never recover from the coma he is in. All he does is lie in a hospital bed, nothing more. This man is related to Acro because it is his brother. Bat was Acro's brother, and he was bitten and sent into a coma. Now ask about "Acro's brother". Sean Dingling is Acro's brother, but everyone calls him Bat. He also fell in love with Regina, and that was his downfall. During a practice session six months ago, Bat said he wanted to perform with Leon. This is what caused the accident. When Leon bit down, he seemed to have been similing. The police were never informed of this incident, as the circus was afraid of being shut down if they were notified. The next day, Russell shot Leon dead with his rifle. Maya sneezes on the pepper shaker you have, and Moe comments that Regina has a similar sneeze. Turns out Bat would always tease Regina with pepper. Head back to Acro's Room for the last bit of information you need. -------------------------------------------- Date-December 29 Location-Lodging Hall 3rd Floor; Acro's Room -------------------------------------------- Acro seems to know why Phoenix is back so soon. He's still thinking about what he's hiding when you asked about his wheelchair. Present the Magatama so we can find out. --------------------------------------------- ~Acro's Magatama Secret-About the Wheelchair~ --------------------------------------------- Acro says once again that the cause of his accident was while training for an acrobatic routine. However, if this was the case he would have no reason to keep it a secret. You need to present the real cause of his injury. Present the picture of Leon. Six months ago he was attacked by the lion, and that's how he ended up in the wheelchair. The first lock will break. Phoenix thinks that he didn't actually get attacked, but had to fight it to save someone's life. Present Bat's profile. The second lock will shatter when confronted with the facts. Moe did say that the team of Acro and Bat were cut down at the same time. They were injured in the same accident. Acro says it wasn't anyone's fault, though. You need to present someone whom he doesn't like very much. Present Regina's profile. Acro always seems calm until the subject comes to Regina. Regina and Bat were good friends back at the time. You need to present proof of why Acro has hated Regina for so long. Present the Note. Acro must have written the note and put it in her pocket. The final lock will break. Now, finally ask about the "Wheelchair". His legs were injured by Leon. Six months ago, Bat had a dare with Regina. Bat said if he could put his head inside Leon's mouth like Regina does, she'd have to go out with him on a date. They figured that since Leon was old he wouldn't attack somebody else who put their head into his mouth. However, that wasn't the case here. When Leon chomped on his head, Acro ran towards him. Leon attacked Acro and that's how he ended up this way. Bat is still in a coma. He went to the hospital yesterday to visit him, hoping one day he'll open his eyes again. Now ask about "Regina and Bat". Both were great friends. Acro also hands you a scarf that Bat was wearing when he was attacked. It's covered in blood. The scarf was a present from Regina on the day of the attack. Leon looked to be smiling when he chomped on Bat. Franziska appears and demands that you hand over the scarf. Acro then leaves with Franziska as he'll be the final witness to appear tomorrow. Hopefully this case will all make sense soon. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 3-5 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-December 30, 9:41 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 5 ---------------------------------------------- Max says he's pretty nervous before coming into court today. Regina appears to bring him a carton of milk. Moe told Regina that she should come to the trial to watch it. Regina clearly doesn't understand how a trial works since she still thinks that Max will be putting on a performance. After a small morale boost, Regina heads off to the audience. Moe then appears with another carton of milk. Moe is pretty sure that Acro is the real criminal as well. He's used to putting his life on the line, Moe warns you. Moe also says that Regina is here to hopefully understand the reality of what happened to her father. Time for trial. ---------------------------------------- Date-December 30, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Franziska opens up by saying she wants to revise her recent theories on the events of the murder. They have discovered a new witness, one that says he saw Max fly off from the scene of the crime. An explaination for how Max was able to fly that night will be proven. Gumshoe was even forced to provide a mockup of how such an even could occur. Acro will be called to the stand. ------------------------------------- ~Acro's Testimony-What You Witnessed~ ------------------------------------- -It was just after 10:00 PM, and I was resting in my bed. -Around that time, I heard a large "THUMP" noise from outside the window. -Then a few moments later, I saw someone...Flying...Right by my window. -It was Max Galactica...I only saw him from behind, but that's who it looked like. -To be honest, when I saw that, I thought I was dreaming... This testimony matches up quite similar to what Moe said yesterday. You will need to press for the hard facts. Press the fourth statement when he mentions he saw Max Galactica from behind. Phoenix will confirm that the lights in his room were shut off. Despite them being off, he was still able to see Max. Acro says that the safety lights were on, and that was enough to enable him to see the silhouette of Max. Although he couldn't see the white roses this way, he says he did see the silk hat and the cloak around his body. Phoenix will think something was wrong with that statement. Choose "There is a contradiction". This happened yesterday so you probably already have realized it. Max's hat was on the ground. Therefore, he couldn't have been wearing it when he was flying past Acro's window. Acro thinks that is actually the ringmaster's hat, not Max's. Clearly Acro has been lying about this the entire time. Now Franziska will demand that you back up this statement explaining why Acro would lie in court right now. Answer "Acro is the real culprit". Phoenix will accuse Acro of murdering Russell now, and Franziska actually finds this amusing. She then points to Acro who is still very calm and collected. If he was the real murderer, he'd probably be panicing right now. Acro then says that he can't even move out of his wheelchair, so he easily couldn't have done the murder. Or so he says. Franziska says she had proof that Acro is disabled, so now she thinks you will call out that he had an accomplice. Choose "Of course he didn't". Phoenix exclaims that Acro planned and executed the murder all on his own. Now the Judge will say that if this is true, Acro being the murderer, then his testimony is all lies. He'll ask you to point out where Acro was then during the murder. Point to his own room. Acro wasn't able to leave the room by himself, so the only explaination is that he committed the murder from his room. Acro then says that it's an interesting, but impossible, theory. The Judge also backs up his claim by reminding you he's in a wheelchair. Acro then asks how you think he killed Russell. If he couldn't leave his room he couldn't have worn Max's costume. The Judge will ask if you have an explaination as to how Acro could have killed Russell. Choose to "Present evidence". Now you need to show what we think is the murder weapon. Present the Max G. Bust. The bust itself is actually quite heavy. Heavy enough to ensure death, especially if dropped from a third story window. Franziska then says that there's no way that Acro could have wheeled his chair around with such a heavy bust in it. Phoenix says that he has a strong enough body to carry the bust. Acro isn't able to refute your statements, so clearly we're getting somewhere. Acro will be forced to testify about his current handicapped condition, a testimony Phoenix thinks is just a stall for time. ---------------------------------------- ~Acro's Testimony-Acro's Physical State~ ---------------------------------------- -I supposed I could have lifted something the size of the bust. -I have a strong upper body from working as an acrobat, and only my legs were injured. -However, lifting the bust and looking out of the window would've been impossible. -There's no way I could have exerted that kind of force on my lower body. -That makes it impossible for me to have known the location of the Ringmaster's head. -Thus it would be unrealistic for me to drop the bust on him. Don't you think? The Judge agrees that trying to exert such a force would lead to more injuries on his body. Phoenix will still examine nonetheless. Pressing won't get you anywhere in this testimony as the contradiction can already be spotted. At the fifth statement, where he says it would have been impossible to see the ringmaster's head, it actually wasn't with some help. Present the Wooden Box here. Acro didn't need to lean out of the window because he already knew where the ringmaster was going to be ahead of time. Quite precisely, actually. Phoenix will bring out the picture of Russell leaning over the box. The question is-who placed the box there? When Ben and Trilo saw the ringmaster, they didn't see any box. This means that the wooden box was already placed at the scene of the crime. The moment the bust came falling down was the moment that the ringmaster picked up the box. This all makes it clear. If the bust were to fall at the point marked by the wooden box, there would be no possible chance of it missing the victim. The Judge will then ask who placed the wooden box at the scene. Phoenix says it was Acro himself. He had a rope to help himself lower the box to that point. Franziska then says that the ringmaster's head could have been anywhere at that point. That's why the box was specially made. You need to choose its special feature. Choose "The weight of the box". According to the Court Record it is over 20 pounds. The only way most people could have picked up the box is if they squatted down to pick it up. The box is large and has carrying handles, making the head placement of the person who was picking up the box easy to determine. Acro still won't admit to what we think is his crime yet. He still says that even if he wanted to do those events, he couldn't. He will ask if you remember the original location of the bust. Choose "I remember". It was in the cafeteria, on a table. The big question now is how would Acro have gotten the bust from the cafeteria to his room? He can't leave his room by himself. Now you must show how the bust made its way from the cafeteria to Acro. Present Money the Monkey. Acro never ordered the monkey to steal the bust, he took it with his own free will. Franziska says that the bust isn't shiny at all, since it's mostly bronze. The cards, however, were the shiny part of the bust. Acro admits that Money is capable of holding the heavy bust. Franziska says that the current location of the bust is still unknown. If the monkey didn't steal the bust, though, then what? Or, perhaps the bust was used as the murder weapon by accident. One fact has been proven, though, and that is Acro has the ability to kill the ringmaster. Franziska says again that Max was still scene at the crime location. She then asks the clown saw the murderer. You must present who it was. Present the Max G. Bust. Franziska says she demanded a picture of the person, not some useless piece of evidence. However, Moe said he saw Max's silhouette. However, what he didn't see was a person at all. What Moe actually saw that night was Max's bust. There's no reason why Max's cloak couldn't have been attached to the bust, and this would give it the appearence that it looks just like Max. It also shows why the white roses weren't visible. Now you must show who put the cloak on the bust. Present Russell Berry's profile. Russell didn't actually "put" the cloak on the bust. Phoenix describes the scene again. Acro lowered a rope with the wooden box attached. Then he attached the bust to the rope and dangled the bust outside of his window, directly over the box. At the same time, Max was told to wait in the ringmaster's room by Russell. At the time, the ringmaster was wearing Max's cloak. Perhaps it was to stay hidden that night. However, he was spotted by Ben and Trilo, much to his demise. When the ringmaster got over to the scene, he bent over to pick up the wooden box, and that's when Acro let go of the rope and let the bust his Russell. At the instant the bust hit the victim, the cloak flew off of Russell and landed on the bust. Franziska stops you, saying this is absurd. Phoenix continues on anyways. That's the sound Moe heard and he looked out of the window. The crime being committed, Acro lifted up the bust back to his room. He had no idea Moe saw this, though. That is how the cloak managed to fly into the sky. Franziska now demands proof that your absurd story is true. There is still something unusual about Moe's eyewitness account. A contradiction, rather, about the facts we know and what he said. The Judge wants hard proof that this is what happened. Present the Silk Hat once again. The problem lies within Max's three symbols. The hat, cloak, and roses. A Silk Hat was found at the crime scene, but Moe said he saw the murderer flee with the silk hat still on him. The "silk hat" Moe saw must have been the bust instead. However, that was just one of two contradictions found. When the cloak snagged onto the bust, what happened to the white roses? This means the the roses would have to have landed on the back of the bust to not be visible. This is why Moe didn't see them. Acro then says that Phoenix is a bit off track here. Acro is missing a motive for his actions. There's no way he would want to kill the ringmaster. A short break will occur now. Save the game. ---------------------------------------------- Date-December 30, 2:17 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 5 ---------------------------------------------- Max is pretty sure now that it is Acro who is trying to pin the murder on himself. Max then gets angry at Acro for trying to do this to him. Gumshoe then appears, angry that you're ignoring him. Turns out Gumshoe was able to bring the scarf which Franziska confiscated yesterday. Gumshoe isn't willing to tell you how or why he brought it here, and says to keep it a secret. He then says something from a prosecutor saying "Judgment comes at the very last moment". Huh. Back to court now. ---------------------------------------- Date-December 30, 2:27 PM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2 ---------------------------------------- Franziska wants Acro to continue to testify about his relationship with the ringmaster, and orders you to provide proof he had a motive. --------------------------------------- ~Acro's Testimony-About the Ringmaster~ --------------------------------------- -When we were little, we were abondoned by our parents. -That's when the Ringmaster of the Berry Big Circus, Russell Berry, took us in. -I became an acrobat at around nine years old. -I wanted to find a way to repay to Ringmaster. That was my sole purpose in life... Make sure you choose "Of course I'll cross-examine" when thinking if Acro ever had a motive. Press the first statement to find out that the second person Acro is talking about is, of course, Bat. Now press the second statement to find out that Acro thought of the ringmaster as a father. Press the third statement to find out that since he was in such great shape when he was little, he became an acrobat. Now press the final statement. Nothing good will happen since Franziska's whipping will stop you short of asking questions. The Judge says that no matter what he says, it seems Acro has no reason to have killed Russell Berry. Now the Judge will ask what the motive to kill the ringmaster was. He'll ask if you can explain it. Choose "I can't provide one" on the basis that he never intended to kill the ringmaster in the first place. Phoenix says that the ringmaster wasn't the target of Acro that night. He never intended to kill Russell Berry. Franziska will demand to know who the hell Acro did intend to kill instead that night. Present Regina's profile. Phoenix says Acro was really aiming for her that night. Franziska starts going ballistic at this, and now demands proof why Acro would want to kill Regina. Present the Note you found earlier. Acro goes silent when you present the Note. He wrote the note, which is ironically titled "To the murderer". It was a calling of someone to the plaza at 10:00 PM. The note wasn't intended to bring Russell Berry to the plaza. The note was placed inside Regina's pocket, and was intended for her. Regina didn't think the note was for her, so she put it on the cafeteria bulletin board. That's when her father read the note. Russell Berry unknowningly went in place of Regina. He was killed because of this mistake. Acro even said earlier that he couldn't have looked out of the window if he really did lower the bust. This theory would make that situation even more realistic because Acro couldn't see the person he was killing. Acro thought it was Regina who was in the plaza, and that's when he dropped the bust. Franziska objects, asking about the line in the note saying "I have conclusive evidence of what took place." She says that if that is in the note, Regina would be a murderer. Phoenix thinks that the ringmaster knew what this note meant and that's why he went to the plaza, in place of his daughter. The Judge will ask what the incident six months ago was. Choose "I know all about it". This incident directly involves this case now. You will now be forced to present just what the conclusive evidence the note is referring to. Present the Small Seasoning Bottle you haven't used yet. No joke, this is the evidence Acro was planning to use. The victim would take away the wooden box and discover the conclusive evidence inside. Now, Franziska will demand you say who Regina's intended victim was. Present Bat's profile. Bat has been in a coma for six months. Acro probably feels that his brother is as good as dead, though. Bat was bit by Regina's lion six months earlier. Franziska says there's no way Regina would ever willingly kill somebody. She says he was the victim of an accident rather than a planned murder. Maya will ask if this was all an accident or not. Choose "It was more than that." The lion biting Bat wasn't an accident whatsoever. While Regina wouldn't willingly hurt somebody, she is responsible for making the lion injure Bat. You need to present evidence to back up this claim. Present the Scarf that Gumshoe managed to give to you several minutes ago. That scarf was something that Bat used to wear. Regina was the one who gave it to him. There is more than just some blood stains on the scarf, however. Pepper was found on the scarf. Regina gave the scarf to Bat just before the accident. She covered the scarf with a ton of pepper beforehand. Franziska then asks again if the lion was seen to be smiling before biting down on Bat. Leon wasn't smiling, he was actually sneezing. He never really did bite down on Bat, but instead sneezed due to all of the pepper Regina stuffed onto the scarf. at lost conciousness soon afterwards. Acro nearly lost Bat to this accident. Franziska still thinks this is a mere joke. Acro tried to get his revenge on the one person who did this to him-Regina. Acro says he's impressed by Phoenix's imagination. Acro hints at the fact everything Phoenix just admitted is true. However, it isn't enough to frame Acro of murder. Not yet, at least. He brings up the topic of the bust again. There is no evidence that proves this claim. The location of the bust is still a mystery. The Judge thinks that if Acro's room was searched and a bloody bust was found, that would be all the conclusive evidence he would need to make a verdict. You have two choices now. Choose to "See how things work out first". Searching Acro's room would get you nowhere since he probably assumed that would be done. He must have hidden the bust elsewhere. Franziska says that Acro's room was thoroughly searched yesterday, and no bust was found. The location of the murder weapon is still a mystery. Also, to ensure he didn't hide it, the search was a complete surprise and Acro was taken to the prosecutor's office soon afterwards. Maya thinks the location of the bust right now should be known. Just before the Judge ends this all, Maya steps in to declare you need a second to prepare the last bit of evidence. Now you must declare where the bust is right now. Choose "Somewhere in this courtroom". That's not enough info, though. The Judge will ask where the bust is in the courtroom. Choose "The witness chair". Acro is asked to remove the blanket on his chair. The possibility that the bust is being hidden under that blanket seems quite likely, as he doesn't even need that blanket. It was incovienent for Acro to be unable to hide the bust elsewhere since he can't leave his room. The only place he could have hid it was under his wheelchair. He says he's been bagged by the real pro here, Phoenix. He finally comes clean. He asks why the timing for the surprise search was last night. He says he burned the cloak and threw the ashes out in the trash. He obviously couldn't throw away the bust. The best he could do when the search was warranted was to hide the bust. Hiding it under his wheelchair was his only choice. There is nothing he could do when called to court with the weapon in hand. He also thinks Franziska had this all figured out to begin with when she searched the room. She says that if she didn't order the search of the room, she would have easily gotten her verdict. Acro admits to killing Russell. He explains the story of how how Regina put pepper on his scarf, which made Leon bite him. Acro couldn't forgive what she did to him, and Regina joked about how bat became a star when word got out he was bitten. So much so that Acro was so drastic to attempt killing her. He wanted to kill himself, then decided it would be best to try living and pin the murder on Max. And thus, the case has finally been resolved. There's nothing left to do but bask in the glory that Franziska von Karma has been defeated by Phoenix. Twice. Owned her there. ---------------------------------------------- Date-December 30, 4:27 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 5 ---------------------------------------------- Max is happy that he was found innocent. Moe comes over to congratulate Max on getting found not guilty. Moe says not to worry too much about Acro as there isn't anything that can be done now. Regina comes in crying, though. She's a bit distressed at how this whole incident was her fault to begin with. She's worried that everyone is going to split up now that half of the circus gang is gone. Regina asks if Acro has plans to get revenge on her. Choose "I don't think so." When she asks for evidence, present Bat's profile. Acro didn't want to get caught because he wanted to see Bat when he awoke from his coma. She says she'll take the place of Acro in the hospital now and will go see Bat until he finally wakes up. Moe decides he'll be the new ringmaster, and Max decides to finally stay. And so ends this chapter. Before the case ends, the screen turns black and someone is talking. The mysterious man asks how the case went, where Gumshoe states that the previous day's search really paid off. He asks if the man really had it all figured out, to which he responds it was only a theory that only "him", referring to the defense attorney for the case, would ever figure out. The scene will cut to an airport, and Edgeworth wil be seen as the one on the other end of the phone. He says he'll be making a stop at the prosecutor's office... =========================================================================== ~8.Episode Four-Farewell, My Turnabout~ =========================================================================== The intro cutscene starts off by questioning who will be this year's Grand Prix Champion. The camera pans downwards to where all of the contestants are, all in costumes. The hinted at winner is the Jammin' Ninja, sporting a purple costume. Then some guy drops down onto the stage, calling himself the Nickel Samurai. He's awarded the prize. Just who are these people and what do they have to do with this case? =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 4-1 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ------------------------------------ Date-March 20, 7:42 PM Location-Gatewater Hotel; Viola Hall ------------------------------------ Back in the Gatewater Hotel again, Maya greets you and asks if you saw the Nickel Samurai win the contest. Will Powers, the former Steel Samurai, is also here with you guys. Pearl is also here, however due to Morgan never allowing her to watch TV back at home she has no idea who the Steel or Nickel Samurai's in question are. Maya fills in for Phoenix by saying that he hates these kids shows, which is obviously true from his constant moaning over all this. Pearl says that Phoenix needs to act more mature when he says he prefers Pearls' kids shows than the Nickel Samurai. Hah. Will says that he's glad he invited everyone here for a feast, and that he feels sorry for the Jammin' Ninja who lost to the Pink Princess (who fans will remember Will also played as). Maya then comments if the Jammin' Ninja was any different today, commenting that he wasn't carrying around his red guitar. Will then says it is odd he wasn't carrying around his signature guitar. Maya mentions you should head over to the lobby. There's going to be a press conference about the Nickel Samurai confessing something. Now we got some options. Talk to Will about "Will Powers". Maya will ask Will what he's been doing lately. Ever since The Pink Princess finished last month, he has been busy on a kid's exercise show. Phoenix will comment that he's an action star who's popularity exploded when he was the Steel Samurai and when accused of a murder case Phoenix worked on. Will is also an incredibly kind guy. Now ask about "The Nickel Samurai". Will comments that a movie based on the Nickel Samurai will be coming soon. The new series of the Nickel Samurai is very similar to the Steel Samurai show-it's still aimed at kids. Will didn't get any part on the show, though, much to his dismay. Maya mentions that the actor Matt Engarde plays the Nickel Samurai, and that he'll be fighting it out with the Jammin' Ninja for popularity. Now ask about the "Jammin' Ninja". The Jammin' Ninja always carries around his red guitar. The show premise just seems really odd. Global Studios who has the Nickel Samurai, and Worldwide Studios who has the Jammin' Ninja, have been fierce rivals. There isn't anything else to do here. Enter the Hallway. --------------------------------- Date-March 20 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hallway --------------------------------- You will enter a long and spacious hallway. Time to examine this place to kill off some time. First, examine the purple disc things near the door to the right. These gifts were given to Matt Engarde by the Global Studio staff. Now examine the door left of Matt's. The door has a slip of paper reading it's "Juan Corrida's Room". Phoenix doesn't know much about this actor. Now that you have some info, head back to the Viola Hall. ------------------------------------ Date-March 20 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Viola Hall ------------------------------------ Will says that the post-awards ceremony is about to start. Will is most interested in the press conference where the Nickel Samurai is going to confess something, possibly very important. Will doesn't know what the conference is going to be about, so he invited Phoenix and company to join him in going there. He hands you the PRESS CONFERENCE TICKET which you will need to get in there. Move to the Hotel Lobby now. ------------------------------------- Date-March 20 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- Why didn't we get to see this place in the first game? Anyways, you will see the large stage where the awards ceremony is going to be held in the lobby. Someone on the PA will say that the Post-Awards Ceremony Press Conference will not be continuing due to unforeseen circumstances. It also says that nobody should move, and that's a special request from the police. Phoenix is ready to investigate, but someone in a...space suit...or something like that, comes by and barks at you to stay put. Sound familar? The person then goes on a huge rant about how some punk kid tried going over a bridge despite a sign saying the bridge was out nearby, and the person here shoved that kid off the bridge. Will recongnizes the non-stop chatter can only come from one person-Wendy Oldbag. Oh gawd, not her again. And she's got a gun! Damnit what the hell is wrong with this woman? She recongnizes Will right away, and go on a long spiel on how she admires Will's character in the show he is in right now. Oldbag says that she is a security member still. Love how she apparently gets a toy gun with realistic sound effects as a defensive weapon. Talk to her about "Wendy Oldbag". She says that ever since the murder incident that happened last year, Global Studios has been letting people go. They also lowered their security team and that's when she was fired from her job. She then blames her job scenario on Phoenix for forcing her to testify like that back in case 3 of the previous game. She also tried being a bodyguard for Edgeworth (who she apprently really likes, as it's hinted). Now ask about "What happened?" Oldbag says she doesn't have all the details, but it appears that someone was murdered here. Maya then says they should all act like they're going to the bathroom to get a cover to check out the action. Head back over to the Viola Hall. ------------------------------------ Date-March 20 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Viola Hall ------------------------------------ Phoenix comments that nothing unusual is happening in this room. Just before you get to go somewhere else, a bellboy stops you and asks if he is looking at Maya. He says she has a phone call waiting by the front desk and asks if she could come with him. Well that is totally not suspicious at all. Since it isn't, let's just let her go. Pearl says she's excited to help you investigate. Head back to the Hallway. --------------------------------- Date-March 20 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hallway --------------------------------- Once you enter the hallway, you will hear somebody yelling that they have a right to get the information they need to know. Someone else, probably a police officer, says that they aren't allowed to give out details at a time like this. The person yelling seems to use some sort of accent before running off. Yeah, Lotta Hart is back once again. So much for wanting to find her true self. Gumshoe appears (always the cop everyone yells at, apprently!) and asks if you'll make Lotta shut her trap. Gumshoe says that this is the scene of a murder. Turns out Lotta was right in assuming that murder has happened here. Over Gumshoe's complaining that he's in trouble, Lotta shouts out this was the murder of a huge star. Huh. Talk to Gumshoe about "What happened". Pearl asks if it was the Nickel Samurai who was killed, but Gumshoe says that isn't the case. Turns out it is the Nickel Samurai who people are thinking is the murderer. The guy who was killed is none other than the actor of the Jammin' Ninja. Ask about "Lotta Hart" now. Gumshoe says that Lotta was hanging around the hallway just before the murder happened. She was hiding infront of the Jammin's Ninja's door, no doubt wanting to get pictures of the actor. Lotta only said she was trying to get a "scoop" and said nothing more than that. Now question Gumshoe on "The victim". Gumshoe confirms the victim was the Jammin' Ninja, rival to the Nickel Samurai. The action star who was killed is Juan Corrida. Judging by his picture it seems he is from the countryside. He's been attracting a lot of attention lately. However, the Nickel Samurai's actor Matt Engarde has been stealing his spotlight. Phoenix asks that now since Juan Corrida is gone, if Matt Engarde will have the stage to himself. Gumshoe says that he can't quite let that happen. Present Matt Engarde's profile. Gumshoe will say that Matt was just arrested on suspicion that he killed Juan Corrida. Now talk about "Arrested?" Gumshoe said that he isn't allowed to tell you as he's afraid or any information leaks. Pearl asks if you'll take on the case since that is what Maya would make you do if she was here right now. Head back to the Hotel Lobby. ------------------------------------- Date-March 20 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- Will will be waiting in the lobby and asks what is going on. Will can hardly believe the circumstances of this murder, as it all seems familar to him. One famous actor killing another famous actor. Will still doesn't think that Matt would kill someone. Phoenix notices something in his hand, though. He says that the bellboy from earlier wanted to give this to Phoenix. RADIO TRANSCEIVER will be added to the Court Record. All the bellboy said is that it was for the attorney Phoenix Wright. Now talk to Will about "Matt and Juan". He says that Matt is one of the most energetic actor's out there right now. The Nickel Samurai made him a real idol, but he kept adding to his rivalry with Juan anyways. He keeps saying the Juan and Matt would compete to be the best in just about anything, however it was usually Matt who came out to be the best. Since Juan wanted to compete with Matt, he joined a rival television show, and that was where the Jammin' Ninja came from. Now look at where their rivalry is gone to. Matt has killed Juan. Now ask about the "Press conference". The conference wasn't really for Matt as much as it was for the Nickel Samurai. He was supposed to wear the costume and give the press conference in it. He isn't sure on why this is, though. Pearl then asks what is taking Maya so long with her phone call. Pearl leaves to take a look for her, and an irritating beeping noise occurs. Turns out to be the transciever you just recieved. After turning it on, a mysterious voice come online, and Maya's voice can be heard shouting for help as well. He says that the fate of Maya is very important right now. The man says he has a proposal, and if Phoenix accepts then Maya will be returned unharmed. He alerts you this is a kidnapping. The man isn't seeking any money, however. He wants a verdict on a certain acquittal. He isn't the person he wants Phoenix to represent. What he wants is very simple. He wants you to get a total not guilty verdict on Matt Engarde. He didn't kill anyone, the voice says. Someone is framing him for the murder, though. Phoenix is able to believe him or not, however, Maya is still with him whether he accepts or not. You have one chance. Don't screw up. He calls himself "De Killer" before hanging up. Clever name. Pearl runs off to inform Gumshoe of the situation. Don't see how that isn't part of "don't call the cops" but Gumshoe's incompetence will see us through. Somehow. Gumshoe suspects that this means Engarde is the killer. But De Killer said Matt is being framed, right? If Matt was really innocent then there'd be no point to the kidnapping. Gumshoe also comments that "too much evidence" is being found. --------------------------------- Date-??? Time-??? Location-??? --------------------------------- This scene involves Maya, complaining that her body aches. The room she is locked in resembles a wine cellar. A mysterious man looking just like a butler walks in, and introduces himself as "De Killer". He says Maya isn't his target for now. He says that this is a mere business transaction. De Killer then calls Phoenix. This is what you just witnessed earlier. --------------------------------- Date-March 21, 8:11 AM Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Pearl greets you early in the morning and says that you should hurry over to greet Matt in the detention center. However, since visiting hours aren't open for a little while, you have some time to kill. Talk to her about "What to do". Pearl asks what if Matt is the real murderer. It's best not to think about that option for the moment. Now ask about "Maya's situation". Pearl says that Maya is the last one of her family she still has. Her father is gone, Morgan is locked in solitary confinement, and that just leaves Maya at a high risk of getting killed. Move to the Detention Center now. ----------------------------------------- Date-March 21, 8:57 AM Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- You will find Matt Engarde sitting in the Detention Center. He seems like a much bigger guy in person. He thinks Phoenix is selling him life insurance for some reason before he gets corrected. He then calls his manager on what to do in this situation. You have to make him have Phoenix take the case. Talk about "Matt Engarde" first. He says he can't talk about much since he has an autobiography coming out soon. He then calls his publisher and says he isn't allowed to talk about anything. Now ask about "What happened". Now he calls the president of the studios (he needs a mind of his own...) on what to do here. He says that the president strongly thinks Matt isn't the murderer. Present the Press Conference Ticket. Phoenix asks if he was going to give a conference after winning the Grand Prix. Matt says he never heard anything about this, he just leaves all this stuff to his manager. Matt then says it's about time he got going. Phoenix mentions the name De Killer before he takes off, and this stops Matt. Engarde lets you take on his case now. He says he'll answer anything he can. Now ask about "Matt Engarde". He says that it's really great to be the Nickel Samurai. He mentions his motto about refrshing like a spring breeze. This describes his personality (or so he says). He says that this scandal is going to destroy his reputation even if he manages to get out of here easily. Now ask about "What happened". After Matt got the award he went back to his room. He had that post-award ceremony to get ready for. He was in his Nickel Samurai costume, and he was along the entire time. When he was leaving his room he noticed it was very noisy. He was told by his manager that Juan was killed. Gumshoe appeared moments later to arrest him. Now ask about "The victim". Matt says that him and Juan are the same age. He asks why he would have any reason to kill Juan in the first place. It logically would be the other way around. Juan should be jealous and would want to kill Matt. Now ask about "The charge of the murder". He says that the full body search went badly, and that's why he was charged with the crime. They found a button from the Jammin' Ninja's costume. It was caught in his pants at the time. He thinks that it was planted there by someone. Pearl says that you should ask if he is really innocent or not, and if he's lying then the Magatama would figure it out. Phoenix asks Matt directly if he killed Juan Corrida. He says that he didn't kill him, and since no Psyche Locks appeared it's safe to assume he isn't the murderer. Save the game now. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 4-2 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ --------------------------------- Date-March 21 11:34 AM Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- You'll discuss with Pearl that you only have one day to get Matt a not guilty verdict, and since he's innocent it shouldn't be all that hard. But that means you have to find the real killer. Talk to Pearl about "What to do". You'll just repeat that Matt is innocent. Ask about "Any ideas". Phoenix asks why Pearl thinks him and Maya are so interested in each other even though they aren't doing anything special. Then Phoenix gets slapped since she thinks you're just hiding your feelings. You can now move back to the Gatewater Hotel, so do that. ------------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- You'll meet up with Oldbag once again as you arrive. It seems funny how yet another action star was killed, and Oldbag is the security officer still, and she happened to be a huge fan of Juan's. It's like case 3 all over again. She thinks that everyone she's near gets killed. Duh, she's so irritating and ugly. No surprise. Talk to her about "The victim". She questions why every star she cares about gets killed off one by one. She also mentions that she doesn't believe anything Lotta says to her. We can assume that Lotta told Oldbag what she knows so far. Now ask about "What happened". She says that she doesn't know anything about the murder since she was in the lobby getting ready for the press conference. However, she mentions that she did see the most important moment of the crime. Now ask about "What you witnessed". She laughs at Phoenix for all of a sudden wanting info, then four Psyche Locks appear over her. She demands you bring her a present to get her to talk. You don't have any real evidence of which you can use now, so ignore her for a while and head over to the Hallway. --------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hallway --------------------------------- The hotel staff and police investigators sure seem busy today. You will meet up with Lotta when you enter the hallway. Lotta exclaims that Phoenix is a thief and demands that he hands over her camera. She says that since the criminal returns to the scene of the crime, Phoenix must have her camera. Talk to Lotta about the "Camera". She says that she lost her camera sometime after the murder from last night. She probably lost it trying to run around all of the police investigators there at the time. She did catch many pictures of anything that caught her eye, though. LOTTA'S CAMERA will be added to the Court Record. Now ask about "What happened". Before the awards ceremony the night before, Lotta was hanging out in the hallway area. She was even here when Matt was arrested. She said there was a big scoop to be had. Now you can ask her about the "Big Scoop". Before she'll tell you what she was really after that night, two Psyche Locks appear over her. You have a couple more options now than from yesterday. Head over to Engarde's Hotel Room first. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Engarde's Hotel Room ---------------------------------------------- When you enter the room, someone will ask who you are. The woman figures that you are Engarde's lawyer. She seems to be a really smart woman. She thinks that you came here to find clues that will build up your case. She says she is Adrian Andrews, and she prefers to get right down to the facts. Talk to Adrian about "Night of the murder". Before the awards ceremony, she was having dinner with Engarde in his hotel room. She says to check the table if you care about what she ate. When the show was starting, she went to the Viola Hall. She didn't come back to the room afterwards because she had some errands to run. She helped with the preperations in the lobby. She went to get Engarde and Corrida for the show, and that's when she discovered the body. Ask about her "Relation to Engarde". She'll say that she's surprised you don't already know who she is, and adds she is Engarde's manager. Adrian also says Corrida doesn't have a manager due to hs studios having a different policies than Global Studios. Present to Adrian the Press Conference Ticket. You will say that Engarde didn't know anything about the conference, and Adrian points out that she didn't know most of the details herself either. It was part of the publicy department's order not to know much about the conference itself. Now present Juan Corrida's profile. Adrian says that she did know Juan Corrida. She says that Matt and Juan were like children when they were competing over the silliest of things. Perhaps she knows why Matt was driven to kill Juan, or whoever the real murderer is. Ask about "Motive for murder" now. Surprise, surprise, she too has four Psyche Locks on her. Sheesh, must everyone be hiding simple details from us? Next I'm sure Gumshoe will have Psyche Locks. There's nothing more you can do here. Head next door to Corrida's Hotel Room. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Corrida's Hotel Room ---------------------------------------------- There a crapload of stuffed bears in this room. That's slightly awkward for a man to like these things. Gumshoe will appear to greet you and asks if anything else about the kidnapper has come up. Phoenix assumes he won't call again until Matt gets his not guilty verdict. Gumshoe says that due to these extreme circumstances he's willing to let you look around the crime scene and will tell you everything he knows. He also has a map of the hotel and hands it to you. HOTEL GUIDEMAP will be added to the Court Record. Talk to Gumshoe about "Cause of death". There isn't an autopsy report yet, but the picture of the crime scene should be sufficent enough. There is a knife stuck in Corrida's chest. This knife is obviously the murder weapon, and it's being analyzed for fingerprints right now. Tests are pretty sure these are Matt Engarde's fingerprints, too. CRIME PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. Now ask about the "Reason for arrest". He was arrested because evidence was piled up on him. Juan ended up putting up a fight, and by looking at the other side of the room you can easily tell that a struggle occured here. During the fight, one of his button's flew off. It's possible this is the same button that landed in Engarde's pocket. Even worse, there was a witness to this crime. He says that Oldbag is one of the witnesses. Gumshoe also says that something was a little off in the room. However, he won't tell you. Let's start examining the room. Press L to shift screens. Look at the vanity. Despite everything being a mess here, a single wine glass remains upright on the table. WINE GLASS will be added to the Court Record. Now on the floor near the vanity is a guitar case, no doubt the one that holds the Jammin' Ninja's red guitar. Oddly enough, the guitar is missing in action, and the top of the lid to the case is wet. GUITAR CASE will be added to the Court Record. Head back to Gumshoe and present the Wine Glass. He admits that was the oddest thing about the room. It was the only part that remained untouched. However, he mentions that Franziska found this out first. Gumshoe says you are going to be in a lot of trouble when she gets here. Ah, too late, that annoying beeping noise appears again. Franziska appears and starts whipping the hell out of Phoenix and Gumshoe. She says that you have soiled her perfect prosecuting record twice over, and this time she will destroy you in court. Franziska swears she will defeat you and leaves, but not before throwing something at you. Gumshoe also says he has to leave, and tells you to visit him at the Criminal Affairs Department if you need something. Examine the table infront of you now to find a note on it, autographed by Corrida, and made out to someone named Wendy. Wonder who that could be. MR. CORRIDA'S AUTOGRAPH will be added to the Court Record. Now head back into the Viola Hall. ------------------------------------ Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Viola Hall ------------------------------------ You will meet up with Will again here. He says that anyone connected to the murder isn't allowed to leave. Ask him about "The Nickel Samurai". He will tell you the show is aimed for kids, and is the sequel to his Steel Samurai show. There is nothing major you need to remember about the show, but Pearl seems really into the show now. Ask about the "Jammin' Ninja" to learn the show which is also aimed towards kids. Pearl also gets ideas to watch this show as well. Choose to present Adrian Andrews' profile. Will says he was interested in her for a little while. He says he doesn't know too much about her. Now ask about "The gossip on Adrian". He shows you an article where someone dedicates something to the beautiful managed A.A., Adrian Andrews' initials. This hints that Juan Corrida wanted Adrian Andrews to be his manager. MAGAZINE CLIPPING will be added to the Court Record. You will need this very clipping to unlock Lotta's Psyche Locks, so go visit her. --------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hallway --------------------------------- Present the Magatama and get down to business. ----------------------------------- ~Lotta's Magatama Secret-Big Scoop~ ----------------------------------- Lotta isn't willing to give you any clues, so Phoenix guesses that Lotta was looking into a scandal. She may have been looking for a break in a huge story. You need to present the person that goes with Juan Corrida who may have been involved in the scandal. Present Adrian Andrews' profile here. She has been caught meeting with Juan Corrida secretly and would have been a great story for Lotta if she could get it. The first lock will break. However, she claims you need backup information and asks you to present info that ties Corrida with Adrian. Present the Magazine Clipping. Lotta saw this article and was loitering in the hallway, waiting for her chance to get some proof of this story. The second lock will break. Now ask about "Big scoop". She admits that she was going to get pictures of their love affair. She was hoping that she could get real proof and not just the initals of the name of the person Juan was seeing. The note to herself that she wrote on is gone, however. It was inside of her camera which she lost. LOTTA'S CAMERA will be updated in the Court Record. Head back to the Hotel Lobby to unravel the secrets of a certain old duff. ------------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- Present the Magatama to start unlocking Oldbag's secrets. --------------------------------------------- ~Oldbag's Magatama Secret-What You Witnessed~ --------------------------------------------- Oldbag says that she finally has a chance to toy with you, and Phoenix says he will give her what she wants. Present Juan Corrida's Autograph. The autograph was addressed to Wendy (prey tell if this is the real Wendy or not), so perhaps it is right in giving it to her. She wants to autograph so badly that the first three locks will break right off. She wants an exchange since Phoenix isn't too sure in getting rid of the autograph. The last Psyche Lock will break off. The autograph will be handed over to Oldbag. Now ask about "What you witnessed". Oldbag says that she saw Matt leave Juan's room that night. It was about 10 minutes before Juan's body was discovered. It was just a coincidence, though. Oldbag has alreayd testified that to the police. She says that she has been called in as a witness tomorrow, and that sounds just super. All we need is another Oldbag testimony. She says she really wants to get Matt guilty. Now you can ask about "Engarde's past". Oldbag says that Engarde framed Juan. He created the scandal that plagued Juan. Oldbag says that Juan was tempted by Adrian Andrews none less. She thinks that Matt shoved her into Juan's business intentionally to force a scandal that would lower Juan's reputation. Oldbag knows so much about it because she is a huge fan of him. She says she learned about it from a magazine that won't be out until next week. How does she know that now? Head over to the Criminal Affairs Department now. ----------------------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Police Station; Criminal Affairs Dept. ----------------------------------------------- Gumshoe will greet you just like he said he would. He says that there isn't anything to be happy about in this case, and that all of the testimonies point that Matt is the murderer. Talk to Gumshoe about "Airtight evidence". He says he can't reveal the details, but there are two big pieces. Both of them are in the crime photo. There is a button missing from Juan's chest that was found in the Nickel Samurai's pants, and the fingerprints that were on the kinfe stuck in Juan's chest. The prints belong to Matt. Ask about "Airtight testimony" now. He says that Oldbag will be testifying, but we already knew that. Gumshoe even told Oldbag not to say anything to anyone. She saw everything. She saw Matt come out of Juan's room near the time of death. Present to Gumshoe the Magazine Clipping. The police are involved with the scandal between Adrian Andrews and Juan as well. Two years ago, a woman committed suicide. Her name was Celeste Inpax. She used to be Juan Corrida's manager. As if this wasn't enough, Celeste was Adrian's mentor. She taught Adrian almost everything she knows about business. Now ask about "Celeste Inpax". It's been two years since her suicide, and now another case has formed and possibly her death could be involved. Franziska apears before he gets any further. Franziska is sick of Gumshoe acting traitor to her and says he is fired. However, just before Gumshoe leaves, someone says that Franziska would have won in court if it wasn't Gumshoe. The voice belongs to the one and only Edgeworth. Franziska says that Edgeworth should be ashamed for failing as a prosecutor, but then he backlashes at her by asking just how well her court record has been coming along. He says he came back to replace Franziska who was clearly losing it. Let's talk to Edgeworth about "Tomorrow's trial". Phoenix says that he thought Edgeworth went up and died a year ago. He asks if Edgeworth is prosecuting tomorrow, but as long as Franziska wants the case there's nothing he can do. He does say that Phoenix can't win by himself tomorrow. Something seems odd with Edgeworth. He totally doesn't seem the same. He goes as far as saying he's understood the importance of teamwork, and is willing to let loose any information he knows since he isn't part of the case. Ask about "Proof of Von Karma blood" now. A perfect win record is a proof of a Von Karma. Phoenix guesses that since Edgeworth's win record had been shattered, Edgeworth couldn't show his face in court again and said he chose death while in reality ran away. Now he asks you why Phoenix is in court. Ask "Why stand in court?" now. Phoenix says he is in court just to defend his client while Edgeworth merely laughs and says he has a lot to learn. Present Celeste Inpax's profile to Edgeworth. He says the she is an important part of this case. She was Adrians' mentor, but suddenly was called in to be Juan Corrida's manager. Several months later, Inpax died. Despite her death being a suicide, something remains unanswered. She had a suicide note, but nobody could find it. Talk about the "Missing suicide note". The police began to suspect that the suicide note was hidden. There was no solid evidence that she had written a note, however, there were cases of ink found on her finger, so the likelihood of a suicide note is very high. The police think it was Juan Corrida himself who hid the note. He was the one who found her body, so he was the only person who had a chance to hide the note. Edgeworth hands you part one of the SUICIDE REPORT which will be added to the Court Record. Present this report to Edgeworth. He says that this report has two parts to it. The second part mentions of an attempted suicide of Adrian Andrews. Edgeworth says that she just looks like a strong business woman. She has always had a secret she was trying to hide. He mentions the word co-dependency. Ask about "Co-dependency" now. Adrian Andrews tried to commit suicide several days after Celeste Inpax killed herself. Adrian tried to kill herself because she had lost her will to live. Her mentor had just killed herself, and her mentor taught her so much. Adrian then started going to counseling sessions to try and find someone she could trust unconditionally. Without someone to follow, Adrian becomes uneasy and can't find her way through life. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE REPORT will be added to the Court Record now. Wow. That's a lot of new info to the case. We may be able to break Adrian's Psyche Locks now, so head to Engarde's Hotel Room. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Engarde's Hotel Room ---------------------------------------------- Adrian is still in the room, but she's talking with Franziska at the moment. Franziska quickly accuses Phoenix of following her around everywhere she goes. Pearl steps in and says that it is her who is doing the following, not Phoenix, and says that she is always following Gumshoe around. She then present an electromagnetic receiver that tracks the location of Gumshoe at any given time. That's like, illegal, doesn't she know that? Franziska takes her leave after telling Adrian to remember what they discussed. Present the Magatama and let's get this over with. -------------------------------------------- ~Adrian's Magatama Secret-Motive for Murder~ -------------------------------------------- Adrian says she was never really close to Juan Corrida. She's never been good at being with other people. You need to present evidence that shows doubt in this statement. Present the Magazine Clipping. She says that it is just a tabloid and you shouldn't go believing it. She says again she hates relationships like that. Now you need to show her why she needed to get close to Juan. Present Celeste Inpax's profile. The first lock will break. Celeste committed suicide and nobody knows why. Phoenix believes that Celeste got close to Juan so she could find out more about the missing suicide note. She says that there was no mystery surrounding her death. Now you must present something that shows she wasn't happy with the way the case was resolved. Present the Suicide Report. The police were under suspicion that there was a note and that Juan Corrida was the one who hid it. Adrian thought the same thing and strived to be with Juan to find the note. The second lock will break. Adrian says she never knew that suicide note was never found and that she doesn't go and gets in the way of other people. You need to present proof that Celeste was an important person to her. Present the Attempted Suicide Report. Although Adrian looks like someone who heavily supports herself, that's all a lie. She's heavily dependant on other people. The third lock will break now. When Celeste died, Adrian died a little on the inside. N matter what, however, she couldn't rest her mind of the note. Now the perspective changes a bit. It seems now that Adrian wanted Juan dead for hiding the note more than Matt wanted him dead. The final lock will break. Ask about "Motive for murder" now. Adrian admits she has little self confidence. She wanted to somehow find out what the note said, and this secret tore at her. Without Celeste, Adrian got scared. She got close to Juan so she could pick up the suicide note. She admits, though, she wouldn't kill anybody for the note. She then asks if you'd keep her attempted suicide a secret. Pearl then mentions that Adrian often plays with a card in her hand. She isn't sure what it is, it just suddenly found its way into her handbag. There's a picture of a seashell on the front of it. She then leaves. Head back to Wright & Co. Law Offices to end the day. --------------------------------- Date-March 21 Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- One thing was discovered today. Adrian does have a clear motive for murder. Just then, the tranceiver begins to beep. De Killer must be calling again. As promised, De Killer hasn't touched her. He says that she is probably starving, so it's in your best interest to win the trial as soon as possible. Maya faintly says to ask Mia something. Mia appears in Pearl's body seconds later. She says she has a message from Maya so ask her anything you need. Ask about "Maya's situation". Maya is safe, just like De Killer said, for now. Mia knows about this because Maya channeled her, and left a note for her to read. Now ask about "The kidnapper". Mia says that Maya went to answer a phone call at the hotel and was drugged by De Killer on the spot. Maya is locked in a dark room. She'll explain what she heard. --------------------------------- Date-??? Time-??? Location-??? --------------------------------- You'll appear in the wine cellar again, but this time you are playing as Maya. Cool. Examine the small card at the bottom of the stairwell. She says it looks like a business card, but there's no name on it. It's the same card that Adrian was holding. Now examine the door. Maya thinks she may be able to open the door using the card. Maya is then heard escaping... Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 4-3 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 22, 9:47 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Engarde says that there is no way Adrian would have killed Juan. There's going to be a ton of evidence against Matt in trial, and you have to somehow prove it doesn't connect Matt to the murder. Matt also says that the scandal in question would severely hurt his image if it were true. Mia comes in and says you must get a complete acquittal by the end of the trial. Just before it starts, the tranceiver radio beeps. De Killer wants to help you win the trial, so he sent you a small present. He says you will figure it out. ---------------------------------------- Date-March 22, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 3 ---------------------------------------- Franziska isn't in the courtroom for some reason. The bailiff comes in and alerts that Franziska was shot by an unknown gunman this morning. It isn't all that unknown to you as Mia thinks that is clearly the present that De Killer wanted to give you. If Franziska, one of the best prosecutor's around, was unable to make the trial, this would be all the more to your advantage. Someone comes in and says Franziska is still okay, and reveals himself to be Edgeworth. He says he will be taking her place. It's about time he did so, too. He also says Franziska was shot in the right shoulder (how ironic) and is in surgery. Edgeworth knows all the details to the case and is ready to get a verdict. He then brings Gumshoe to the stand. He'll testify to the facts of the case. -------------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Bare Facts of the Case~ -------------------------------------------- -This murder happened after the Hero of Heroes award ceremony, sir. -The victim, Juan Corrida, was found dead in his hotel room. -After looking into the cause of death, we believe he was definitely murdered, sir. -At first, we though there was something suspicious about the empty guitar case. -However, we later found out that the guitar case had nothing to do with the murder. Gumshoe also points out at the end that Matt and Juan went to their respective hotel room, alone, after the ceremony. Start by pressing his third statement, about how Juan was murdered. Gumshoe says that the cause of death wasn't actually the knife stuck in Juan's chest, and tells you to look at the photo again. He points you to the bandana around his neck. The knife was probably just stuck into his body after death to make it look like the actual murder weapon. AUTOPSY REPORT will be added to the Court Record. Press the fourth statement. The guitar case was empty when Juan was murdered. The only fingerprints that could be found on the case were of Juan's. GUITAR CASE information will be updated in the Court Record. Now press the final statement. The police are convinced it has nothing to do with the case because it wasn't present at the Gatewater Hotel that night. The red guitar was eventually found at the studio's TV set. Juan has apparently taken just the case with him. Even when he was onstage for the awards he didn't have his guitar. Because there was nothing in it, is has no relevence to the case. Edgeworth ends the examination and recaps that Juan was choked to death by his bandana. He was then stabbed by a knife intentionally after that. Why did the police arrest Matt then? ----------------------------------------- ~Gumshoe's Testimony-Why Arrest Engarde?~ ----------------------------------------- -Matt Engarde and Juan Corrida were huge rivals with each other. -They each thought the other guy was "in his way". That's motive enough in my book. -As for evidence...There's the Jammin' Ninja button. -It was ripped off of the ninja costume and was found in Mr. Engarde's "hakama". -The defendant's fingerprints were also all over the knife. -The defendant bought the knife for the crime...Which makes this a premediated murder! Gumshoe says that the knife was easy to get fingerprints from, and that it was bought just for the occasion of this murder. KNIFE will be added to the Court Record. There is also the button from Juan's outfit with traces of his blood on it. JAMMIN' NINJA'S BUTTON will be added to the Court Record as well. The contradiction is lying flat out here, so no need to go press happy. Present the Knife at the final statement, where Gumshoe says the knife was bought just for the crime. There is no way Matt bought this knife. The handle of the knife has the word Gatewater engraved onto it, so the knife clearly belonged to the hotel and therefore wasn't bought at a store or elsewhere. Because of this, the murder could not have been premediated. Edgeworth then states this is worthless information as everyone already knows the murder wasn't premediated. He then asks where the knife came from then. He then shows the picture of the room, and that there is a knife resting on the table. Then he shows the room of Engarde. There isn't any knife on his table. It is assumed that since Matt's knife was missing, he took it and stabbed Juan with it after dinner. Edgeworth then asks if you'd like to present any evidence not yet known. Choose "Actually, I do." when asked if you need to present anything. The Judge will give you the chance to present just one piece of evidence. Screw up and you'll lose the entire health bar. Present the Wine Glass that we noticed in Juan's room. Taking a look back at the crime scene, there was a struggle. Many things are knocked over, but the wine glass remains untouched. Edgeworth says there isn't anything special about the glass, though. He thinks it is safe to say the glass was set up there after the crime took place. Perhaps by Adrian Andrews. Answer "There's no way" when asked if Adrian could have set down a glass. Edgeworth says he has proof that Adrian set the glass on the table. He has alreayd inspected the glass for fingerprints, and as it would turn out, only one set of fingerprints were found on the glass. All of them belong to Adrian Andrews. WINE GLASS will be updated in the Court Record. Adrian probably was holding the glass when she went into Juan's room, and put it down when she was shocked to him dead. Edgeworth has yet another witness that will give their account. Oh no, not Oldbag. Oldbag seems a little more than excited to see Edgeworth again. Edgeworth doesn't look to thrilled, though, to have this irritating witness on the stand. She says again that she was a fan of Juan, and probably is part of his security team. --------------------------------------- ~Oldbag's Tesitmony-What You Witnessed~ --------------------------------------- -Anyway, after the ceremony, I went to pace around in the hallway in the front room. -There was something I was interested in finding out, you know... -Well, since I was on the job, I made sure to keep a good eye out the whole time. -That's when someone showed up! It was a man coming out of poor Juan's room. -It was Engarde. Matt Engarde. He was trying to sneak his way out of Juan's room! Press the final statement, about how she saw Engarde come out of Juan's room. Oldbag is sure that she saw him come out of his room. You can now ask Oldbag a side question. Choose to learn more about "The person's clothes". She says the man was wearing a sporty racing jacket. The Judge will ask if this question was important in any way. Choose "It was very important". Oldbag will add the following line to her testimony. -He was wearing his flashy racing jacket. Honestly, it's all just for show. Present the Jammin' Ninja's Button at this new statement. Oldbag knows the button from the Jammin' Ninja's costume. Oldbag really wants the button as a small gift, but too bad it's evidence. The button was found in Matt's pants of the Nickel Samurai costume. However, Oldbag just said that Matt was wearing his usual racing jacket. Oldbag will testify again, going into further detail on who she saw. ------------------------------ ~Oldbag's Testimony-Who I Saw~ ------------------------------ -Engarde...Engarde...Yes, now I remember! -The Nickel Samurai, that's right, it was the Nickel Samurai that I saw! -Yes, it would have been convienent for him to wear his costume to the murder. -He had to go to that post-ceremony stage show right after the crime, you know. -So he must've worn that Nickel Samurai costume when he was stabbing poor Juan. Mia says that the contradiction is lying in plain sight. Present the Knife at the final statement, where she says that Matt must have been in the Nickel Samurai costume. The knife is important because it has Matt's fingerprints on it. If Matt was really in the Nickel Samurai costume at the time of the murder, there's no way his fingerprints would have been on the knife. He would have just wiped them clean off. The Nickel Samurai wears gloves on his costume. Edgeworth says that he may have taken off the gloves, but that's impossible. Why would have have done that? Edgeworth says there is one possibility. He says he went to Juan's room in his costume, expecting just to converse with him with no intention of killing. That's when he took off the gloves. You need to check if there are any contradictions with this theory. Choose "There is a contradiction". If Matt was the killer, you need to present what intent he had for going to his room. Present the knife once again. If Matt was the killer, he would have brought the knife to his visit with Juan. However, if Matt originally went in with no intent to murder, there'd be no point in bringing the knife. Also, if Matt was wearing his costume to the murder, then there would be glove marks on the knife. Thusly, Phoenix thinks the knife was planted by the real killer to make it look like Matt is the murderer. You must answer why the knife was planted in Juan. Choose "To frame Matt Engarde". Oldbag did just say she saw Matt in his costume, and thusly there would be glove prints on the knife it that were true. Oldbag hints that it may not have been the Nickel Samurai she really saw. She says she wasn't waiting around in the hallway for the Nickel Samurai. She isn't allowed to say just who she was really waiting for, though. However, she wasn't actually waiting for Juan Corrida. Now you must present the person she was really waiting for. Present Adrian Andrews' profile. It is explained why Adrian would be in Juan's room. Oldbag then says that since you all figured it out, she might as well spill the beans on this secret information. --------------------------------------- ~Oldbag's Testimony-Secret Information~ --------------------------------------- -That Engarde is one evil, evil man! -He thought he could ruin poor Juan by causing a huge scandal! -So to do that, he sent his own manager to get in close with Juan! -I cannot condone such dirty tricks! So I took action! -...Oh, and this is top secret, you got that!? Bobody else but you and me know yet, OK? As it turns out, if you don't prove this rumor to be false then it proves ill-will towards the victim, and will probably prove Matt guilty. Start off by pressing the final statement of her testimony, where she says this info is top secret. Oldbag isn't willing to say where she found the information from. Choose to "Present evidence" as you have something that shows where she may have gotten this information from. Present Lott'a Camera. She lost her camera, and she put a note inside the camera as well. She wrote down several things she thought about the relationship between Adrian and Juan. Oldbag then presents the note she found. Oldbag must have been the one who stole Lotta's camera to begin with, and found the note later. Phoenix will then think it's best to forgive her. Choose to "Pile on more pressure". Oldbag says that the piece of paper is the only thing she stole. You need to present what else she stole that night. Present Lotta's Camera here. Oldbag then admits that she did steal the camera. Oldbag was curious what kind of pictures Lotta had taken so she "borrowed" the camera to find out. The photos on the camera will be developed at once. Only one photo is actually relevent to the case, however. The picture shows the Nickel Samurai, and LOTTA'S PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. This picture, added to Matt's statement that he was in the Nickel Samurai costume at the time of the murder, proves that he is the murderer. You will be asked if there is anything wrong with the picture. Choose there is "something strange with it". Once again this is your last shot, worth your entire health bar. Point to the bottom of the left leg (or his right leg if you were in the costume). If it were possible to see the ankles, that would be enough to prove it is Matt in the costume, however, they aren't visible. Thusly, the person in the costume isn't Matt Engarde. The Nickel Samurai in the picture is holding up the hakama just to walk. The person inside the costume must be shorter than Matt. Edgeworth asks just who could be inside the Nickel Samurai costume. Present Adrian Andrews' profile. First, she is shorter than Matt. Also, she can move freely between Matt and Juan's room without trouble. She also had dinner with Matt that night. It means that it was easy for her to get the knife that night. Phoenix now calls that Adrian Andrews is the one who murdered Juan, not Matt. She tried to frame Engarde instead. However, this means that the trial will last for another day. Sadly, you can't let that happen. Choose to "Raise an objection". As it turns out, Edgeworth predicted such an event would occur, os he brought Adrian as a witness in the event it was necessary for her to come. A short recess will occur now. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 4-4 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 22, 2:14 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Matt still doesn't think that Adrian would have pulled off this murder. He also says that during the break between the ceremony and press conference he was sleeping, so the only person it could have been is Adrian. She also could have planted the blood covered button into his pocket at that time, as well. Mia also thinks that Adrian's only motive was to retrieve the missing suicide note that Celeste left. The only problem with this theory is that Edgeworth told it to you. It's obvious he knows you'll pull this stunt in court. ---------------------------------------- Date-March 22, 2:25 PM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 3 ---------------------------------------- Adrian Andrews is called to the witness stand. She says that she has one request regarding everyone already knowing that she had some relationship with Juan. She was seeing Juan Corrida, and was already aware of the rivalry between Juan and Matt. However, she claims seeing him was a private matter. She then claims she didn't kill him, and testifies what she knows. ------------------------------------------------- ~Adrian Andrews' Testimony-When I Found the Body~ ------------------------------------------------- -It was time for the show to start, so I went to get Matt from his room. -After that, I went to Juan's room. -And there was his dead body. I...I was in shock... -What I saw was, naturally, the exact same scene as in the crime scene photo. -I felt as though I was about to faint, so I poured myself a glass of juice. Adrian also states at the end that she was so paniced that she forgot to not touch anything, and that's how her fingerprints ended up on the wine glass. Press the third statement when she says she was in shock. You won't get any info out of this, though, save Edgeworth saying it's natural to be in shock after seeing a murder. Now press the final statement when she says she made herself some juice. Adrian says that she wasn't feeling too good, so she put the glass down without drinking from it. Phoenix confirms that she was in great shock when she saw Juan's dead body, and that's when she poured herself juice. She then says that she made one mistake, but stops herself from going any further. Choose to "Press further". Edgeworth isn't aware of what her mistake at the crime scene is either. When she put the wine glass on the counter, she accidentally knocked over the flower vase. When the vase fell, it broke when it hit the guitar case. She'll add the next line to her testimony. -I was the one who knocked the flower vase over, where it fell onto the guitar case. Present the Guitar Case at this statement. The main problem here is that the top of the guitar case was soaked with water. If the flower vase really did fall into the guitar case, the inside of it would be wet and not the outside. Also, since the guitar was open during the crime, the glass shards would have to be inside the case and not outside of it. Adrian did say she didn't touch anything else but the vase. The Judge will ask if you want Adrian to testify about the guitar case. Choose to "Make her testify" since there's likely to be even more holes in her story. ------------------------------------------- ~Adrian Andrews' Testimony-The Guitar Case~ ------------------------------------------- -I don't remember too clearly because I was a bit dazed. -I suppose I must have opened the guitar case...after I knocked the vase over. -It's not a big deal though, right? The case was empty after all. -As for why I opened the case...Even I don't know. Present the Guitar Case at her second statement, when she says she must have opened the case. There isn't any way that Adrian could have opened the case herself because fingerprints belonging only to Juan were found on the case. Pretty simple explaination. Adrian asks what if she were wearing gloves when she walked into the room. You'll then be asked if this is a strange statement. Say "That's strange..." when prompted. You need to prove that she wasn't wearing any gloves. Present the Wine Glass. Adrian left her fingerprints on the Wine Glass, so she obviously wasn't wearing any gloves like she said she was. In the event she did take her gloves off to put the glass of juice on, why would she put them back on just to open the guitar case? Mia says that the guitar case does play an important role and questions if it was really empty upon first discovering it. Edgeworth says this has nothing to do with the case, but Phoenix objects and refutes that Adrian keeps contradicting herself. The guitar case must have something to do with the murder. Now you need to present what was in the case at the time of the murder. Present the Nickel Samurai picture. Phoenix proposes that the Nickel Samurai's costume was inside the guitar case the entire time. The point of this would be to wear the costume, allowing Adrian to put it on and make her escape easily. Phoenix says that Lotta has the picture to support this statement. The Nickel Samurai in the photo wasn't Matt, it was Adrian instead. You need to explain what Matt's costume was doing inside the guitar case. Choose "It was a spare costume". Since Matt didn't take off his costume during the break, this costume must be a spare. This would mean that the victim brought the spare costume all along to the ceremony. Now you need to present the reason Juan had to bring a spare Nickel Samurai costume. Present the Press Conference Ticket. The Nickel Samurai was going to confess something at the press conference. However, Matt himself had no idea that this conference was going to occur. This can only mean one thing. The conference was set up by none other than Juan Corrida himself. The spare costume was brought just for this occassion. The main concern now is what Juan intended on revealing during the press conference. Thusly, it can be assumed Juan intended on speaking badly of Matt Engarde. Adrian then says that the press conference was setup by Juan. She was the one Juan asked for help setting up. She also prepared the second costume. Juan said that if he lost the Grand Prix, he intended on taking Matt down with him as well. Juan had a secret so powerful that it would have destroyed Matt's career. She also says she has been trying to protect Matt, explaining why she's been acting weird. ------------------------------------------- ~Adrian Andrews' Testimony-Protecting Matt~ ------------------------------------------- -From the moment I saw the crime scene, I had a feeling Matt was the murderer. -Matt had to kill Juan no matter what. -And he didn't have an alibi for what he was doing at the time of the murder. -My thoughts were confirmed by the evidence, of course; the button and the knife... -But I'm Matt's manager...So I felt that I had to protect him... Press the fourth statement where she says her thoughts were confirmed by the murder evidence. Phoenix says that the knife could easily just be a cover. Adrian says this doesn't really matter, but will change her line of testimony to the following. -That button was torn off of Juan during his fight with Matt. Now present Juan's Autopsy Report. Juan wasn't killed from the knife as Adrian claims, but was killed from being strangled by his bandana. The button could only have been ripped off after the knife was stabbed into the victim. It's impossible the button would have been ripped off during the struggle because he was choked to death in actuality. The button was ripped off of Juan's already dead body. Edgeworth will demand to know where you are going. The button was taken off purposefully, but what was it? You must choose what the murderer had in mind when pulling off the button. Choose "To pin the crime on Engarde". There's no other way the button would be in Engarde's pants. Matt was being setup the entire time by the real killer. Now you need to present who the real murderer must be. Present Adrian Andrews' profile. There's no real need to present evidence because all of it to this point now shows that she is the real killer. The knife was used to throw suspicion onto Engarde to begin with. It could only have been taken from his room. Adrian was the only person to have had dinner with Matt. Then she asks about the button. The only people who could have removed the button were either the killer or the person who found the body. If Matt was the real killer, he wouldn't be stupid enough to put important evidence in his own pocket. The only person who could have put it in his pocket was the one who woke him up, again that is Adrian. The guitar case held a spare Nickel Samurai outfit. Adrian was the only person who would have even thought to look in the guitar case for one. She wiped the prints from the guitar case so as not to make it look incriminating. However, she left her prints on the glass of juice. She left the prints intentionally just to setup the fact she discovered the body. Then there's the photo which establishes Adrian coming out of the room. Adrian starts to break down now. She then states she refuses to testify. She isn't forced to testify since it would incriminate her. Phoenix then thinks back to yesterday when Franziska told Adrian to remember what she had told her. Franziska put this idea of not tesifying into her head if the case started to look bad for her. Edgeworth then says you still lack definitive proof that any of your accusations are true. We haven't figured out if Adrian really did murder Juan. The Judge is ready to call off the trial, but Edgeworth manages to object to his decision. Although Adrian can refuse to testify, she can't if the testimony regards an unrelated subject. He says that when people find dead bodies they are usually scared, not thirsty for juice. ------------------------------------------------- ~Adrian Andrews' Testimony-When I Found the Body~ ------------------------------------------------- -That glass of juice...I didn't really pour it for myself. -I was surprised when I walked into the room and saw it in that messy state. -And Juan...He was sitting slumped over and tired-looking in the corner. -When I saw him sitting like that, the thought that he was dead didn't cross my mind. -To be honest, I thought he had just fainted or something. So I went to pour him some juice. -When I realized that he was dead...That's when I knocked the flower vase over. Present the Crime Photo at her fourth statement, when she says she didn't think Juan was dead. There's something totally odd about that. There was a knife stuck in Juan's body. How she couldn't have thought he was dead or seriously injured whens he walked into the room is absurd. There's nobody else who would just get a glass of juice while ignoring someone who is dead in the same room. Her lie has proven, according to Phoenix, she is the real killer. Adrian still keeps stammering, and still says it wasn't her. Now she's flat out accusing Matt of making the murder. Just before the verdict gets put down, Edgeworth objects. He says Adrian has yet to speak the real truth. Adrian says that if she spoke then Matt would never be declared guilty. All she is doing right now is following the advice of Franziska. Edgeworth tells you to think about what Adrian has and hasn't done. Choose to "Force Andrews to testify". Adrian still refuses to testify, though, so Edgeworth reveals that Adrian has a mental condition and is about to reveal Adrian's true nature. Adrian finally agrees to talk. -------------------------------------- ~Adrian Andrews' Testimony-My "Crime"~ -------------------------------------- -When I first saw him...I really thought he has fainted. Honest. -When I realized he was dead...That was when I formulated my plan. -Once I made sure there was no one in the hallway, I made a dash back to Matt's room. -And then...I stabbed Juan's dead body with the knife, and ripped off the button. -Just when I finished and was returning to Matt's room...I had a bit of an inconvenience. -And that's why...That's why I ended up using the Nickel Samurai costume. Adrian says she did all of this just to pin the blame on that scumbag Engarde. She says he deserves this for escaping a previous crime. Press her first statement. Since the bandana is part of the Jammin' Ninja's costume, she though nothing was unusual. Press the second statement. She admits to forging the knife and the button. Now press the third statement. Nothing important will come out of it. Press the fourth statement to find out Adrian really did plant the button inside Matt's costume. Press the fifth statement to find out it was Oldbag and Lotta who got in her way. Now press the final statement. Adrian reveals it really was her who put the Nickel Samurai costume into Juan's guitar case. After pressing every statement, the Judge will call off the cross examination. Adrian says that Franziska talked to her yesterday to just keep quiet about her crime, and that would make Matt guilty. Sadly, this testimony means she isn't the real killer. Court is over for the day. This brings disaster for Phoenix. Before Edgeworth leaves, he asks to see the card Adrian keeps fumbling around with in her hand. She says she found it in Juan's room the day of the murder. Edgeworth demands the card, however. Edgeworth goes into a fury of hatred, calling Adrian an idiot for hiding this card. It still doesn't seem that important. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 4-5 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ --------------------------------- Date-March 22, 5:24 PM Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Pearl starts off crying about Maya since you weren't able to get your verdict today. Phoenix says that there still may be a chance for Maya's freedom. The condition was to get a not guilty verdict, and since Matt hasn't been proved guilty yet, you should still be fine. Gumshoe drops by to share some information. Talk about "The future". Gumshoe says he's not exactly capable of finding another job and wants to work with you. Well that's...great. Ask about "Edgeworth" now. Gumshoe says this is the first time Edgeworth has ever acted like that in court. However, thanks to his bold statement the truth finally came out. However, Phoenix still wants to know why there was a need to frame Matt Engarde. Now ask about "Franziska". She was shot on the way to the trial by a pistol. She's resting at the hospital right now, and says it's none other than the Hotti Clinic. Err, okay. Can't be all bad. Head over there right now. -------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Hotti Clinic; Reception -------------------------------- As soon as you enter you will be greeted by the awkward doctor impersonator. As if this wasn't enough, Edgeworth appears as well to talk with him. He asks how Franziska is doing, and the fake director says that she is doing fine. He also says he's personally taking care of her and he knows the surgery went fine. The fake director will fall when Franziska appears and whips him. Looks like she's in a fine condition. Ask about "The shooting" now. Franziska says she was shot infront of the courthouse in her right shoulder. She even goes as far to say that such things happen all the time. She even had the mind to continue running the trial in her condition. She was dragged here by Edgeworth, though. Even so, Edgeworth still had to clean up her mess. Now talk about "The deal". Franziska plays dumb and says that she never made such a deal with Adrian. This is slightly ironic in Adrian's situation because now that she told her secret, she is in danger of being found guilty herself. She then runs off. Now talk about "Today's trial" to Edgeworth. He says he had to go to such extremes to get her to testify that one little detail on what she did at the crime scene. Now ask about "Adrian's card". Edgeworth says the history of the card is top secret and can't be leaked to anyone. A special team of investigations has been working for years to find the owner of these cards. A man named Shelly de Killer. He also mentions that De Killer is one of the best assassins out there. PICTURE CARD will be added to the Court Record. Now ask about "Assassin". De Killer is in a long standing line of assassins out there. Shelly is the professional name to one of the heirs of the De Killer name. He has a habit of leaving his business card, cleverly a card with a shell on it, near each of his victims. Police think it is a part of his duty to his clients. If he leaves a card, then the client can be assured that it was De Killer who killed the person. De Killer values the trust between himself and his clients. This pretty much confirms that De Killer is the assassin who killed Juan. Now ask about "Maya's situation". Edgeworth is willing to help by putting out a rescue team, but it's worthless since there's no clues to her location. The only eay to save her is to get an acquittal. Edgeworth says that De Killer did kill Juan Corrida. However, the client is none other than Matt Engarde. He hands you a LETTER OF INTRODUCTION that will allow you into the Gatewater Hotel, added to the Court Record. He then takes his leave. -------------------------------- Date-??? Time-??? Location-??? -------------------------------- Maya says that even kidnappers are a bit careless in their actions. She thinks that the assassin is just making that title up just like Phoenix does for most things in court. She unlocks the door easily. Move to ????. You appear in a living room of sorts. Start investigating the area for any clues. Examine the right wall with all the shelves. There appears to be a ton of video tapes lined up on the wall. Now examine the picture on the table. The picture reads "With love... Celeste" and has a picture of Celeste on it. Now examine the teddy bear sitting on the couch. There seems to be several cuts on it, however. Now examine the antennae in the left corner of the room. It's hooked up to a VCR. Examine the door next. It's locked, however, and the card won't be able to help you here. The mysterious man appears again and tells Maya to cooperate. -------------------------------- Date-March 22, 7:04 PM Location-Hotti Clinic; Reception -------------------------------- Phoenix isn't too sure whether or not Engarde is really guilty. There's nothing left here so head to the Detention Center. ----------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Sadly, visiting hours are over so you can't investigate into whether or not Matt hired De Killer or not. However, he did leave a message for you. Matt has a cat named Shoe and is asking you to feed him. His house isn't too far from the hotel. MATT'S NOTE will be stuffed into the Court Record. Head to the Hotel Lobby first. You need to anyways to access the option to go to Matt's house. ------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- Oldbag appears and says you can't pass anywhere into the hotel. Don't bother wasting time here. A cat's life could hang in the balance if we don't feed it! Head to Matt's Living Room. ------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Engarde Mansion; Living Room ------------------------------------- Damn, Engarde sure lives in a fancy house. Shoe appears and seems to be attached to Pearl. A certain someone comes up. Wonder why this guy looks just like De Killer. He says you must be Mr. Wright, and introduces himself as John Doe. He's the family butler. Talk to him about "Matt Engarde". The guy says he doesn't think Engarde is capable of murder. Now ask about "John Doe". He says he's served at the mansion for about a year. Now ask about "Shoe". You'll throw away Matt's Note after this. Doe then takes his leave. Oddly, Phoenix doesn't think it strange that Matt made you come here to feed Shoe even though the butler already did it. Man, he overlooks simple details. Head back to the Hotel Lobby now. ------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- Present the Letter of Introduction. She's delighted to see something from Edgeworth and Oldbag will allow you to tour the hotel again. She comes back a second later to tell you that Engarde's Hotel Room is off limits. The police are investigating that room all day so you can't enter. Move to the Hallway. --------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hallway --------------------------------- You'll meet up with Lotta as you enter the Hallway. Talk to her about "Night of the murder". There isn't much info to be had here as neither Oldbag nor Lotta were here the entire time. Now ask about "Scandal". Lotta says it's best not to believe that info from her camera. She actually just wrote it on a hunch. Now ask about the "Camera". Turns out Edgeworth came by a little while earlier and said the camera needs to be kept on account of it's still evidence. Lotta then takes her leave. Head to Corrida's Hotel Room. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Corrida's Hotel Room ---------------------------------------------- Yeah, Oldbag somehow managed to get into the room. She says she came down here to pay her respects to Juan and you're interrupting. Ask about "Night of the murder". She says she was tricked by that fraud of a photographer. She says she had more to do than just stand around the hallway. Ask about "Memories of Corrida" now. She thinks that he was going to become a huge star one day and beat Engarde. Pearl points out that all of the presents that Juan has recieved are bears. Ask about "Presents" now. Some time ago Juan had a fight with a bear, and in the end they somehow became friends. Uh...so, since that incident, people have sent him bears in appreciation of what he had done. Just before you can talk much more, De Killer calls again. De Killer is ticked that even with his present you still weren't able to pull of a not guilty verdict. He will give you one last chance to pull through. Before you get to hear news of Maya, the transceiver happens to start malfunctioning. Head back to Wright & Co. now. --------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Gumshoe is still here and wanting to help, so he allows you to ask him anything. The only new things you can do would be to present the Radio Tranceiver. Phoenix turns the transceiver back on, but it appears to be working just fine right now. Gumshoe suspects electromagnetic interference. Talk about "Electromagnetic interference" now. He says that is what occurs when radio signals get mixed with other signals. Gumshoe says that something in the room you were just in must have been emitting strong radio waves that could interfere with the transceiver. Something like a listening device. Gumshoe says he's going to get a bug sweeper to check for anything suspicious at the crime scene. Head back to Corrida's Hotel Room. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Corrida's Hotel Room ---------------------------------------------- Gumshoe says he was kicked out of the precinct and couldn't get his hands on a bug sweeper. He did manage to get one, and it happens to be the one he made in elementary school. Whatever works, I guess. However, the device will go off at any source of waves. You will then have to move the scanner around the room, checking for any major source of radio waves. There are several objects here that will make the scanner beep very fast. However, the item you want is the bear in the left corner of the left side of the room. It's the tall bear that towers over the rest of them. Gumshoe comes in an deduces that tha listenting device is set up inside this bear. He will rip the eye out of the bear. Turns out there was a camera inside all along, and there's a transmitter and timer as well. Talk to Gumshoe about the "Camera". He says this kind of camera is only used in security systems. The footage the camera recieves is sent to a receiver somewhere else, and that's where it is recorded. SPY CAMERA will be added to the Court Record. Now ask about the "Transmitter". This device sends the footage from the camera elsewhere. The timer attatchment can turn the camera on and off on its own. The camera was set to turn on at 8 PM and to continue on for an hour. That was the time the award ceremont ended. Just perhaps this camera caught the footage of the murder. Judging by the angle of the bear, it may have caught the entire crime easily. TRANSMITTER infomation will be added to the Court Record. Ask about the "Stuffed bear" now. It is unknown who gave the bear as a present. This does mean that somebody caught the footage of the murder. SUFFED BEAR infomation will be added to the Court Record. Gumshoe has an idea. He's going to take the camera and see if he can find who bought it. The Spy Camera and Transmitter will be handed back to Gumshoe. Edgeworth will appear now. He says he heard the entire story, as well as mentioning a rescue team is out searching for Maya. Edgeworth says that the maker of the bear is overseas. Very few of them are exported here. By tracking where the bear came from, we can find the owner. The Stuffed Bear will be handed to Edgeworth. Everything just seems odd now. Juan Corrida's death, Adrian's past, De Killer who is demanding an acquittal for his client Matt Engarde, and the shell card. Save the game. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Investigation-Part 4-6 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Corrida's Hotel Room ---------------------------------------------- Pearl questions if Maya has already been found. She seems a bit concerned despite things looking your way, if only slightly. Talk to her about "The real killer". Both of you are sure now that Shelly de Killer is the one who killed Juan. The card seems to be enough proof of that. But then the question of who his client is comes to mind. Whoever the client is is still technically a killer. Ask about "The assassin's client" now. Phoenix thinks it may be Adrian, but if that were true there would be no reason for her to stab Juan afterwards. Now ask about "Was it Matt?". If Engarde did hire De Killer, he would have to be guilty then despite him not killing anybody in his own blood. There were no Psyche Locks on Matt when asked if he killed Juan. Now Phoenix brings up that Adrian mentioned something interesting in court. Ask about "Something interesting". Juan had bet everything on the Jammin' Ninja winning. If he lost, he intended to take down Matt with him. Somehow, Juan got a powerful secret that would destroy Matt's career. Since Juan planned to reveal this secret, Matt would have plenty of motive to kill him, or at least hire an assassin to. You need to visit Engarde now. Head to the Viola Hall. ------------------------------------ Date-March 22 Location-Gatewater Hotel; Viola Hall ------------------------------------ Oldbag meets you here. She says that someone gave her a tracking device and was told to search out the hotel for anything suspicious. The request came from Edgeworth so she doesn't have any real complaints. Talk to her about the "Bug sweeper". She has heard that the camera was found in one of the bears, but she thinks it was to capture Adrian's and Juan's scadalous meeting. She also thinks that Lotta planted the camera inside the bear. Now ask about "Juan and Adrian". Juan really seemed to like his old manager, Celeste. Oldbag says she was supposed to get married to Juan. She killed herself just three days after the marriage announcement. Now ask about "Celeste's suicide" further. Oldbag says she was thrown away by Juan. Juan cancelled the marriage three days after it was announced. She isn't aware of why he cancelled it, however. Head over to the Criminal Affairs Department. ----------------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Police Station; Criminal Affairs Dept. ----------------------------------------------- The chief in here will alert you that the police have found what they have been looking for-a real decisive witness. The chief also says you should know this person well. Edgeworth also has allowed you special permission to visit the Detention Center past visitor's hours. Head over there right now. ----------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Choose to talk to "Matt Engarde" right now. You won't get any information from Adrian until later. Ask about "Juan and Adrian" right now. He doesn't know or care about Juan's life. Perhaps he is connected to Celeste's suicide. Now ask about "Matt's secret". Five Psyche Locks will appear over Matt. There isn't anything you can do about the Locks right now. Some strong evidence will be required later. Head back to the Criminal Affairs Department. ----------------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Police Station; Criminal Affairs Dept. ----------------------------------------------- You will meet up with Will again. As it turns out, he somehow got himself involved in this mess. Now he's going to testify at tomorrow's trial. Turns out he is the decisive witness the chief mentioned earlier. Ask about "Tomorrow's testimony". Will isn't sure what he is going to testify about, but it must be important from what the police told him. Unfortunately, he isn't allowed to tell you the details. Now ask about "Matt Engarde". Will says that this trial is going to seriously hurt Matt's reputation. He has a sort of player attitude towards women, and usually just calls it a game to reassure others it's nothing. He's also said that one person won't swoon over him; Adrian Andrews. Now ask about "Gossip". Will hears gossip about stars all of the time. Will also says he knows something about Celeste's sudden suicide. Ask about "Celeste's suicide" now. Will thinks that something bad was written on the note, something that would hurt Juan. Before she died, she said to some of her friends that she was caught by an insidious man. This is probably referring to Juan Corrida. That would be reason enough for him to hide the suicide note. Head back to the Detention Center. ----------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Let's get Adrian's side of the story now. Ask about "Matt Engarde". She mentions you don't know the real him. Now ask about "Celeste Inpax". She says she's finally put her death behind her, and now you have to bring it up. She wanted to get the suicide note and burn it. Now ask about "Why frame him?". She says she did it out of revenge. A single Psyche Lock will appear over her, but you can't unlock it for a while. Head back to the Wright & Co. Law Offices. --------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices --------------------------------- Phoenix's phone will ring as you enter. Gumshoe says there's a big problem and he's coming to your office. He pops in seconds later. He says that he knows who bought the spy camera. He figured out quickly that he should have been looking into the bear and not the camera. Anyway, he says Matt Engarde bought the bear and the camera. That's totally not good. Ask about the "Stuffed bear" now. He even has the receipt for the purchase of the bear. The clerk even said himself that Engarde bought the bear. CREDIT CARD RECEIPT added to the Court Record. Ask about the "Spy camera" now. SPY CAMERA, TRANSMITTER, and STUFFED BEAR will be re-added to the Court Record. This doesn't bode well. We need to discover why Matt planted this camera. Head back to the Detention Center. ----------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Phoenix says that it's about time he told you the truth. Present the Magatama and get to the bottom of this mess. ---------------------------------------------- ~Matt Engarde's Magatama Secret-Matt's Secret~ ---------------------------------------------- Matt still protests he doesn't know anything about Juan. You need to present something that shows Matt was paying attention to Juan that night. Present the Spy Camera. Matt now asks where the camera was hidden. Present the Stuffed Bear. The first lock will break. Now Matt starts playing dumb and asks who would have sent the bear. Present Matt Engarde's profile. Matt still doesn't want to have any of his locks break. You need to present proof that he put the camera into the bear. Present the Credit Card Receipt. Matt protests that the money on the receipt could be for an expensive toothbrush he bought a while ago. The second lock will break off now. Now you need to present the reason why he would hide the camera in Juan's room to begin with. Present the Picture Card. Matt quickly says that he doesn't know anyone by the name Shelly de Killer. You need to say how he knows De Killer. Choose "you're his client". Since he set up the camera, he knew everything that was going to happen. The person behind this whole murder is Matt Engarde himself. He then tries to consult "himself" Uh...erm. He thinks it's time for him to reveal his true self. The remaining three locks break and he pulls back his hair, revealing a huge scar there. He also picks up a glass of wine. Now talk about "Matt's secret". He comments that there's no way he would murder Juan himself, so he hired Shelly to do it for him. He also gives props to Adrian for having the balls to pin the crime on him. Matt says he doesn't believe assassins. He knows assassins are above blackmail. Matt now reveals that he plans to use the tape of Shelly killing Juan to blackmail De Killer. The video is his own "insurance". Now ask about the "Motive for murder". Matt did all of this, once again, because Juan was going to screw him over. Then he says that all he had to do was put on an innocent face and he could get anyone to do what he wanted. It worked on Adrian, Shelly, and obviously Phoenix. Engarde says at the end that you still have to win the case, otherwise Maya gets killed. Somehow you need to pin the murder on Matt while at the same time letting De Killer release Maya. Edgeworth appears and brings you to the police station. ----------------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Police Station; Criminal Affairs Dept. ----------------------------------------------- Edgeworth will say this is the moment you will need to decide what your definition of a lawyer is. Ask about "Matt Engarde". Phoenix sort of questions his own motives for getting his clients free up to this point. He disagree's with Edgeworth when saying Engarde deserves a proper trial. We know he is guilty, and that scumball doesn't deserve one. Now ask about "Maya's situation". Edgeworth says the only thing you can do is fight. Now question "Why fight?". Edgeworth restates that the only thing Franziska fights for is her perfect win streak. He then says that when Phoenix destroyed his perfect win record, that's when he started seeing what it really meant to be a prosecutor. De Killer then calls. He asks if you are still capable of getting an acquittal tomorrow. He says that the whole kidnapping situation is his "aftercare". He's completing his client relations to ensure that no harm comes to his clients. He was unlucky this time to have his client arrested. In order to ensure the end would turn out well, he hired Phoenix. Just before the end of the broadcast you will hear a cat meow. This can only mean that Shelly is holding Maya hostage at Matt Engarde's house. Move there immediately! ------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Engarde Mansion; Living Room ------------------------------------- Edgeworth arrives and says the entire mansion has been surrounded. If De Killer is still here, he has no way of escaping. Examine the room now, and focus on the bear sitting on the floor on the right side of the room. There are a lot of cuts in the bear for some reason. FIGURINE will be added to the Court Record. Edgeworth and Phoenix break down the door next to the figurine. This room has all the equipment Maya discovered earlier. Phoenix demands that the tapes be searched for anything important. Convenient that there be a VCR and recieving antennae, eh? There's nothing in the tapes, however. Move to the Wine Cellar. ------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Engarde Mansion; Wine Cellar ------------------------------------- Sadly, De Killer and Maya have already up and left. Examine the object hanging by the bottom of the stairs. It's a picture of Celeste Inpax with the words "With love...Celeste" written on it. The same picture Maya found earlier. CELESTE'S PHOTO will be added to the Court Record. Pearl says there's something written on the back. It reads "Maya". She says that she demands you get Engarde a guilty sentence and not to worry about her, she's just fine. Before you leave, Edgeworth will contact the Detention Center and alert them that you'll need to talk to Adrian one last time. ----------------------------------------- Date-March 22 Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room ----------------------------------------- Adrian seems to be toying with you and dares you to break her lock. Present the Magatama so we can get the last bit of information we need for this case. ------------------------------------------------ ~Adrian Andrews' Magatama Secret-Why Frame Him?~ ------------------------------------------------ Phoenix says he heard Adrian mention something about revenge earlier. You need to show something or someone that would make her want revenge. Present the Suicide Report. There's only one event in her life that would make her want revenge, and that was Celeste's death. Now you need to present something that links the relation between Celeste and Matt. Present Celeste's Photo. She knows that you found this picture at Engarde's Mansion. The Psyche Lock breaks. Ask about "Why frame him?" now. Celeste didn't want to get married to Juan because of Matt. Celeste was Matt's manager a long time ago. Adrian was working part time back then. That's how the picture turned up. Adrian says that Celeste was just being used, until one day she was thrown away. Celeste was aware a scandal would demolish Matt's good image, so she moved to Worldwide Studios. She met Juan there. Everything seemed fine with him until the wedding was called off. On the night it was called off, Celeste killed herself. That's why she framed Matt. To get revenge for Celeste and herself. Now ask about "Revenge". Juan called off the wedding because Matt confessed his love with Celeste. Matt was waiting for the moment that telling Juan about his previous relationship would hurt him most. Juan discovered her body and suicide note. He hide her note because the note contained a secret about Matt. It would have been damaging to his image. Juan wanted revenge, so he was going to announce what the suicide note contained. Adrian admits she thought Matt was the murderer when she found Juan. She took the chance to search for the suicide note. When she couldn't find the note, she then resorted the revenge. Save the game. The big trial is coming up. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 4-7 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Just before the trial, Phoenix has the same dream that he had in the opening of the first case. He dreams the Judge deems him no longer worthy of being a defense attorney, and kills him with his gavel. He's going into trial trying to prove a killer innocent... ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 9:43 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Phoenix's phone will ring, and Engarde will be on the other end. He taunts you, saying to do your best while Maya's life is on the line. Mia will appear now. Phoenix's phone rings again, this time it's Gumshoe on the other end. He says he was let back onto the investigation team and they are trying to capture De Killer. They have no leads, but they are trying their hardest. If they can get Maya out, then you can safely get a guilty verdict. Gumshoe also says if you work with Edgeworth to stall the trial there still may be hope. ---------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 10:00 AM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 3 ---------------------------------------- The Judge will recap the events of yesterday's trial. The main question right now is Adrian's role in the murder. It may be possible that she isn't even connected to this crime. Adrian forged evidence to throw suspicion on Matt, then escaped in the Nickel Samurai costume if you remember. Edgeworth then present Shelly's card. He says that Juan was killed by this assassin. Edgeworth then calls Will Powers to testify. He was in the area on the night of the murder and went inside Matt's room. He'll testify about that. --------------------------------------------- ~Will Powers' Testimony-Visit to Matt's Room~ --------------------------------------------- -After the award ceremony, I went by myself to Matt's room. -Matt was standing there in front of his room. still in his Nickel Samurai costume. -He was talking with someone. At first, I thought it was the bellboy. -I watched the two of them for a while, but then I gave up and went back. -I had guests with me that night, and I couldn't make them wait for me. Press the first statement. Will was Matt's mentor, so he wanted to talk to him for a bit. Will will stop talking thinking Phoenix is going to pin the murder on him. Now press the fourth statement where he said he watched Matt for a while. Will says he saw something strange. He saw Matt give the bellboy a tip. Now press the third statement, about how he thought he saw a bellboy. He will say that he didn't seem like a normal bellboy. His line of testimony will change to the following: -Matt gave the bellboy a tip. Press this new statement. Will says that Matt paid the bellboy a large sum. As if that wasn't enough, he even saw the bellboy's face after that. Ask about "Engarde's tip" in more detail. Will can't even guess at how much money was given because it was wrapped up in a huge roll. The Judge starts to make you look suspicious. Choose to "Raise an objection". Edgeworth says that the wad of cash was payment for the murder of Juan Corrida. The bellboy Will say then was the assassin himself. He then present Shelly' business card. Will now says that he saw the bellboy a second time that night. ---------------------------------------- ~Will Powers' Testimony-The Second Time~ ---------------------------------------- -This time, I was in that hallway because I had to go to the bathroom! -And that's when that bellboy I saw earlier came out of the room! -Of course, when I say "room", I mean Juan Corrida's room! -Now that I think about it, that bellboy did seem kinda out of place! -Yeah! So he had to be the assassin! I'm sure of it! Press the fourth statement where Will says the bellboy seemed out of place. The odd thing was that the bellboy was empty handed. Choose to "Try to pull a fast one" here. Edgeworth says that there isn't any reason for them to ever be empty handed. This line of testimony will change to the following: -I thought it was kinda strange for a bellboy to come out of a guest's room empty-handed! Press this new statement. Will thinks it's suspicous because the bellboy was holding a tray when he first saw him. He was carrying a bottle of juice and a wine glass. He says it was tomato juice. Present the Crime Photo here. In the photo you can see the glass of tomato juice as well as the wine glass. All the bellboy did was bring the tray to Juan Corrida's room and drop it off. It was perfectly logical for him to leave with nothing afterwards. Edgeworth says there's one other important detail Will saw. He noticed the bellboy wearing gloves. He says he was wearing suspicous black, leather gloves, which is different from the other bellboy's. --------------------------------------------- ~Will Powers' Testimony-Their Second Meeting~ --------------------------------------------- -After leaving Juan's room, the bellboy went and knocked on Matt's door, just like that. -He gave something to the person inside the room. -Then the old guy just left, without even going into the room. -After that, I went to the bathroom and then back to my seat. Press the second statement, about how the bellboy gave something to the man in the room. You can ask him two options now. "Ask about this 'something'" first. He says it was a small item, but he isn't too sure on the details. Press this statement again and "Ask about the person inside". Will didn't see the face of the person, just the arm. Edgeworth now stops you and recaps the testimony. The bellboy left Juan's room to go to Matt's room, handed him a small item, then left. This moment is important because it reveals what was removed from the crime scene and was handed to Matt. He'll add this line to his testimony: -If I saw it again, I could say for sure, but I think it was some sort of wooden statue. Present the Figurine that you found at Engarde's Mansion. Turns out this small bear is the item that he saw. Edgeworth now proposes that Shelly killed Juan in his room, then stole the wooden bear from the crime scene. It goes without saying that Matt is De Killer's client. The Judge is about to end the trial, but Phoenix says there are points that still haven't been covered. Choose to question further "The bear itself". The bear was found at Engarde's Mansion, but Matt was arrested at the hotel. He hasn't had a chance to go home and place the bear there. It isn't possible for Matt to have taken the bear to the mansion. Edgeworth comes in and says that Engarde's butler was none other than De Killer, which is understandable since they were working together. He assumes Matt had De Killer bring it to his house since it would have been bad if the bear was found at the crime scene. You will be given the three options again on what you think was shaky in Will's testimony. Now question "The person who received the bear". Will hasn't made clear who gave the bear to whom. He remembers now the arm belonged to the Nickel Samurai. The Judge is ready to end the trial because this makes Matt look completely guilty. Choose to "Raise an objection". It is entirely plausible that Matt is De Killer's client, however, there is another suspect. Present Adrian Andrews' profile. She put on the spare Nickel Samurai costume after all, and this easily could have been the hand that Will saw. Edgeworth isn't too sure whether this is true or not. Well of course were lying! We just need to stall for time. Edgeworth then says that the figurine bear hides a big secret that will reveal who the true killer is. He is sure that by making Adrian testify this whole murder will be cleared up. A short recess will be called. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 11:54 AM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Matt greets you and says he's surprised in your desperate efforts to save Maya that you would resort to pinning the murder on Adrian. Pearl returns and says that Mia was called away. Phoenix's phone rings again. It's Gumshoe once again. Mia comes back and says that she was able to see a circus tent when she was in Maya's body. Gumshoe says the Berry Big Circus is still in town. This must be where De Killer is keeping Maya. Gumshoe will set off right away to rescue Maya. There's nothing left to do but stall court long enough until Maya gets rescued. ---------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 12:05 PM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 3 ---------------------------------------- Adrian has appeared now, and states that she has seen the bear before. She will tell you the secrets this bear holds. --------------------------------------------- ~Adrian Andrews' Testimony-The Bear Figurine~ --------------------------------------------- -Actually, this is an elaborate puzzle. -If you know the correct order, it can be taken apart one piece at a time. -At its center is a small cavity, with just enough room to store a small item. -Because of its complexity, if you don't know the order, you can't open the bear. -You really can't tell that it's a small "jewelry box" just by looking at it. Press the first statement. You'll find nothing here. Now press the second statement. Adrian will mention how the bear can be taken apart. Now press the third statement. She knows this because she was the one who bought it. She thought it would be a nice present for Juan. Press her fourth statement next. Only her and Juan knew how to solve the puzzle. Press the final statement. FIGURINE will be updated in the Court Record. After pressing all the statement, Phoenix will give up finding a contradiction. Now Edgeworth asks what is inside of the bear. Adrian opens up the bear and finds a note inside. Not just any note, but Celeste Inpax's suicide note. It was, as suspected, hidden by Juan himself. Celeste even signed this note. Adrian actually knew about this note already. That's why when she found Juan she wanted to quickly find the bear and note and destroy it. She couldn't find it because De Killer already took it. The Judge will read the note aloud. You already know the gist of the story, though. Now Edgeworth present Matt's motive for murder. Since Juan was going to reveal the contents of this note, Matt had to stop him at all costs. CELESTE'S SUICIDE NOTE will be added to the Court Record. De Killer was hired to get this note and kill the person who had. Engarde hired him, clearly. You are capable of going more indepth to one of the major pieces of evidence. Choose "Celeste's Suicide Note". There's a slight contradiction here. How did Matt learn what was written on the note? Egdeworth presents the spy camera that Matt setup. Juan was being spied upon, and this is how Matt learned of what was contained on the note. Edgeworth then says the camera he has isn't the one from the stuffed bear's eye. He went to Engarde's Mansion to search for more clues and found the Matt's fingerprints on the camera. Mia says, however, these is still one piece of evidence that requires more investigation. Choose to "Present evidence". Present Celeste's Suicide Note. The handwriting on the note has yet to be analyzed. It may not even be Celeste's at all! Gumshoe finally calls. Sadly, De Killer managed to escape. His hideout was discovered, but him and Maya have already up and left. Gumshoe then demands to talk to Edgeworth. Yeah, that doesn't go over so well. The Judge calls off the court proceedings for the day, but then Edgeworth objects. He will call a final recess for the handwriting analysis. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 2:04 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- You'll meet up with Edgeworth right away. Phoenix's phone rings again. Gumshoe reports that De Killer left behind several things in his desperate attempt to escape. He says that he has the items and is bringing them over as evidence as we speak. He should be here in about 20 minutes, just barely enough time before court reconvenes. A loud bang can be heard from the phone and the line goes dead. Looks like Gumshoe just crashed into something. Is there any way you can find his location? Choose "There is a way." Present Franziska's profile. She has a tracking device installed on Gumshoe, remember? Edgeworth leaves to find the results of the handwriting analysis. Save the game now. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Trial-Part 4-8 =~=~=~=~=~=~=~ ---------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 2:35 PM Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 3 ---------------------------------------- Edgeworth doesn't seem so happy when you enter court. The note has ended up to be a forgery. It wasn't written by Celeste Inpax. He then says the handwriting matches that of Juan Corrida. Looks liek Celeste never did leave a suicide note. However, Matt could not have known this note was a fake and the main facts remain unchanged. Phoenix thinks something is wrong with this. Choose to "Present evidence". Present the Spy Camera. If Matt had spied on Juan, he would have known as well that the note was a fake and wouldn't go to the trouble of killing him over it. Matt's main motive for murder has now completely changed to something unknown at the moment. Edgeworth states that it could have been written at an unknown place, and Phoenix demands he present evidence to back that up. He then says he has onle final witness, and this one isn't normal. It's the one person that can answer who hired Shelly de Killer. He is actually going to make Shelly de Killer testify. Well, via a radio transceiver, at least. He makes Maya speak into the radio to prove that he is De Killer. He then says he did kill Juan Corrida at the request of a client. ---------------------------------------------- ~Shelly de Killer's Testimony-About My Client~ ---------------------------------------------- -There is something I must first state. -To an assassin, nothing is more important than the trust between a client and himself. -And that is the reason I am here today on this witness stand. -It is my wish that you grasp this concept before I give the name of my client. Press De Killer on his second statement, about his trust. Phoenix asks if anyone has ever stabbed him in the back, and De Killer says that if one of his clients did so, they wouldn't be his client for very long. Now press the third statement. He says that he's fine with saying the name because his client broke the rules by trying to pin the crime on someone else. Now press the second statement again. De Killer thinks you understand his logic since one of his clients broke his trust, so he's going to go back on his word. This next line of testimony gets added: -Now then, I do believe it's about time I revealed the name of my client, don't you agree? Press this new statement, of course. He says that Adrian Andrews is his client. Wait...what? Isn't it Engarde? What the hell? Looks like De Killer just stabbed Edgeworth in the back. Adrian comes in and says that everything De Killer said was a lie. The Judge will ask if you want the trial to continue a little longer. Choose "Request the trial continue". De Killer will be contacted again. He'll go indepth about his client. ----------------------------------------------------- ~Shelly de Killer's Testimony-About My Client, Pt. 2~ ----------------------------------------------------- -As I have already stated quite a few times, Adrian Andrews is my client. However. -One thing I simply cannot overlook is tampering with the scene of the crime. -My client did it to frame another for the crime. -While pretending to be the first person to discover the body and enter the scene, -Adrian Andrews already knew from the very beginning that Juan Corrida was dead! -But even more appalling is the creation and planting of the "knife" and "button". -That act is what I was referring to when I said my client has "broken the rules". Present the Wine Glass at the fifth statement, when De Killer says Adrian knew Juan was dead. When Adrian entered the room, there's no way she knew that Juan was dead. Had the glass been planned, then there wouldn't be fingerprints at all. If Adrian was really his client, she would have known about his death. This only means that Adrian couldn't be his client. Looks like we just need to have De Killer play along a little longer... --------------------------------------------- ~Shelly de Killer's Testimony-Request Taking~ --------------------------------------------- -This request came to me...oh, about a week ago. -It was a request for my services on the night of the awards ceremony. -We met at a certain bar to discuss and finalize a few matters. -That is what occurred. I trust my memory, and I believe I have made no mistakes. Press his third statement, about meeting the client in a bar. De Killer stops talking for a second. "Press further" when asked. The Judge will ask if any of this is important. Choose "It is not important" for now. De Killer says that by talking face to face with him that he builds trust. The Judge will ask again if this was important. Choose "It was very important". The following line of testimony will be added: -From the moment I saw him, I thought, "I can trust this person as a client." Present Adrian Andrews' profile here. I'm pretty sure Adrian is a woman, not a man. There's no way he could have met Adrian Andrews if he thinks she was a guy. The problem here is that Adrian can be either a man's or woman's name, so De Killer made the mistake of assuming it was a guy. Now he says he confused Adrian with another client, and will speak for real. ---------------------------------------------------- ~Shelly de Killer's Testimony-Request Taking, Pt. 2~ ---------------------------------------------------- -Yes, now I remember. I took that request by mail. -There have been times when I took a job without having met my client. -The request was for the murder of Juan Corrida and 2 or 3 other small things. -When I saw the name at the end of the letter, I thought my client to be a man. Press the third statement, about the request to kill Corrida amoung other things. He says these things have nothing to do with the current case. "Press further". De Killer now asks why you have continued this cross examination when everything he has said has been beneficial to Engarde. Now he starts thinking that you are about to betray Matt. Choose to "Press further" even though it seems suicidal. He mentions the bear figurine. After the assassination he was told to find the figurine. The figurine was inside Juan's suitcase. Then he gave the bear to the client. His line of testimony will change to this: -One of these was to find the bear figurine and to give it to Adrian Andrews. Press this new statement. De Killer says he was waiting for Adrian at Engarde's Mansion. Choose "There is a contradiction" when the Judge asks if there's a problem with this. Mia says you will need to present strong evidence to keep this going. Choose to "Present evidence". Present the Figurine now. If he had really given the bear to him, the fake suicide note wouldn't be inside of it. Adrian says if she got her hands on the note, she would have burned it. By the fact that the note was still in the bear, the client didn't know how to disassemble the bear. It is now impossible for Adrian to be his client. De Killer then states that unless you do something, and fast, he will kill Maya. Edgeworth then rests his actions. Engarde is brought to the stand and reveals his true self. Phoenix then must decide if he wants to keep going for this verdict. Choose "Guilty". Stupid ass. Before you get the chance to announce it... Franziska makes a huge entrance into the courtroom. Wow, she actually managed to help us with something. Dayum. The final pieces of evidence you need are within Gumshoe's coat. The first item Franziska presents is a pistol. Phoenix will wonder if this is important. "Question for more details". She thinks this is the pistol used to shoot her. PISTOL will be added to the Court Record. The second piece of evidence is a video tape. "Question for more details". There was no time for her to check the tape. De Killer must have wanted it because he came back to his hideout to retrieve it, but failed. VIDEO TAPE will be added to the Court Record. The last piece of evidence is the bellboy's uniform. "Question for more details". She's almost certain that this was used during the crime. There's even a pair of black gloves in it. She also says a button is missing from the uniform. BELLBOY'S UNIFORM will be added to the Court Record. Sadly, the question here is who was the client and not who did the killing. These items can't be used. Mia says there is a way to make a miracle happen. There are two ways out of this situation. First, you can make Matt Engarde WANT a guilty verdict. The second way is to make De Killer end his contract with Engarde. If he didn't want Engarde as his client, he wouldn't follow him anymore. The Judge says he doesn't need the evidence. So, who does? It's time to save the game. Your final action will determine which ending you get. =========================================================================== ~9.The Good and Bad Endings~ =========================================================================== From the previous point I have mentioned to save, you have the option of either getting the Good Ending, or the Bad Ending, depending on your next action. I recommend you see both of them at least once. Once you get an ending you can restart from the save point and get the other ending. We'll start with the bad ending so you have something to look forward to when you see the depressing ending screen. =~=~=~=~=~ Bad Ending =~=~=~=~=~ If you want this ending, don't present De Killer's profile and you will ensure you get this ending. Choose to present any item after that. The Judge will then announce his verdict of Not Guilty on Matt Engarde. Adrian Andrew's goes to jail then. Just like that, the trial is over. Phoenix runs away from the courtroom afterwards, never to see Maya again. He knows that she would be released, though, since De Killer is a man of his word. Now you get the best sentence ever in an ending screen. "The miracle never happen". Way to screw up a bad ending, huh? The case ends after that. No credits, just one sad screen to leave you thinking about your awful choice. Go restart from the save and get the exciting, good ending now! =~=~=~=~=~= Good Ending =~=~=~=~=~= The Judge will give you one last chance to turn the entire trial around. You need to free Maya and get Engarde a guilty verdict at the same time. Present Shelly de Killer's profile as the person you want to show evidence to, then present the Video Tape as the thing you want to show him. Edgeworth will say that this may be of some interest. De Killer will be brought in again. De Killer was told to protect the video tape at all costs from his client. De Killer was told not to watch the contents of the tape, so he doesn't know what they are. Surprisingly, De Killer is the one on the tape. The video was set at the crime scene, and all of his actions were being recorded. The only person who could have planted the camera was his client, Matt Engarde. He purposefully specified the time of murder so he could catch De Killer on the tape. De Killer asks why Engarde would do this. Choose that Matt "wanted blackmail on you." He never trusted De Killer at all, so he was going to use the tape as blackmail. That's what Matt is good at; lying and deceiving others. De Killer says since his own client is a traitor, he would end the contract right away. The client would then become his next target. To keep his name he would ensure the traitor would get what's coming to him. De Killer hangs up, saying his contract is over. He says he'll gladly return Maya. Well, this wraps up the trial. Matt got the acquittal he wanted, but an assassin is going to be out to get him the rest of his life. "Plead guilty" here. Engarde then goes insane and claws the hell out of his face. What a great ending animation. Adrian appears at the end and says that she felt saved when Phoenix and Edgeworth teamed up to defend her. ---------------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 5:14 PM Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3 ---------------------------------------------- Mia says there's more to just a not guilty verdict. She says the difficult choice he had to make defines what he think it meant to be a lawyer. Edgeworth appears and says that Maya is safe and sound. Pearl appears and is delighted to know that. Franziska appears and says you should have nothing to be happy about since you lost. Edgeworth says that perhaps one day she will be able to understand. He retells his story from the previous game, and says even the prosecutors would need to have faith in the defense attorneys. Phoenix says he felt betrayed when Edgeworth suddenly left. He told himself that Edgeworth had died, instead of really thinking of the matter. Franziska says that neither Edgeworth nor herself are worthy of the Von Karma name. Franziska runs away, dropping her electromagnetic receiver. She also dropped her whip. Maya appears next. Oh what a happy reunion. Edgeworth then says he's glad Maya turned out fine. Then Maya demands that you all go out for food. ------------------------------------- Date-March 23, 7:38 PM Location-Gatewater Hotel; Hotel Lobby ------------------------------------- You'll meet Gumshoe as you arrive. Turns out the fool hit a telephone pole. Good job. Lotta and Will are here to congratulate you as well. Lotta seems to have bought herself a new camera, and everyone heads to the Viola Hall. Will mentions that the three items saved the day, and Gumshoe stops. He says he found four items, not three. Maya said to keep her mind off of being kidnapped she drew a picture. She doesn't know where it went, however. Franziska's electromagnetic receiver goes off again. Even though Gumshoe is standing right here, the device is pointing elsewhere. You can present evidence to show Edgeworth how you feel. Present Franziska's Whip. She helped bring this case to an end as well. Everyone then says they bought something in Phoenix's name, leaving him totally confused. Maya says you should just let it all out. Yell "OBJECTION!" into the mic and enjoy the credits! ------------------------------------------ Date-March 23, 9:42 PM Location-International Departures; Gate 12 ------------------------------------------ Edgeworth meets up with Franziska at the airport. Franziska doesn't care much about the last item since the case is over. She also points out she has quit being a prosecutor. She then says her revenge was to beat Phoenix and become better than Edgeworth. Franziska finally takes her leave, and she presents the last piece of evidence-the picture Maya made. That's the end of the game! =========================================================================== ~10.Frequently Asked Questions~ =========================================================================== These are just a group of questions that I see asked on the message boards quite often. If it can't easily be answered elsewhere, you can probably find the answer to your simple question here. Q:Why do most people hate this game compared to the original? A:There's only four cases to this game compared to the original's five. Also, the first three cases in this game are complete and utter crap in many people's eyes, making just the fourth case the only great case in this game. The original Phoenix Wright had three good cases. Q:I can't find this game anywhere! A:EBay, Amazon, Play-Aisa, those are just three of the websites you can easily buy this game from if you really can't find it anywhere. Also, due to the lack of replay value it's highly likely you can find this game used at some retailers. Just do a little hunting and resort to buying off of the internet as a last resort. Q:Is there any difference between the good and bad endings? A:The bad ending has a really horrible grammar mistake that totally ruins the mood, but other than that it's just a nice effect to have two different outcomes. For those curious, the third Phoenix Wright game takes place after the good ending, so I recommend you at least get that ending once. Q:Why must all of these cases be murder cases? A:What else COULD they be? It's not like you can accuse someone of giving someone else a heart attack or something. Case 2 changed it up a bit by making it a car accident, but other than that it isn't like the entire case revolves around the death. Any player should know that these cases go much further than that. Q:What makes Edgeworth so great? A:He just is. It's difficult explaining the opinions of others but...if you have played the first game you should know he's badass. Edgeworth is also far less annoying than Franziska and Manfred von Karma (Although Manfred has his own level of badassery reserved for him). Q:How do I reset the game? A:Hold down the B and R buttons as you load up the game. You'll be asked to confirm if you really want to erase all saved data. Like any other game, erased data cannot be recovered. You will have to unlock the cases manually again if you erase the game. =========================================================================== ~11.Credits~ =========================================================================== Myself-For putting the time to make this You, the reader-For making this walkthrough seem worthwhile.
