1. FIRST THINGS FIRST
======================================================================
Hi, I'm Lestor Wong. I post on GameFAQ.com/ GameSpot.com by the
username "neeker". This is my fifth walkthrough. Feedback can be
directed to lestor_wong at yahoo.com.
This guide consists of a walkthrough of all five cases in the Nintendo
DS game Gyakuten Saiban: Yomigaeru Gyakuten, which is also known as
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney in the US. The US version of the game
hasn't been released at the time of writing, but the Japanese version
of the game has a full English version bundled in. This document is
written based on the translated game on the Japanese cartridge itself.
It's expected that the US version of the game will be similar to this
translated game.
Without further ado, let's begin.
======================================================================
======================================================================

======================================================================
======================================================================
3. GETTING STARTED
======================================================================
These are the various screens you can access in this game, but the
first thing you should do when you start-up the game for the first
time should be to click the brown box that says "English" (ok, it's in
Chinese, but it basically means "English") to go into the English
version of the game. From now on, everything will be in English.
Great!
DECISION SCREEN
---------------
This is found on the bottom half of your Nintendo DS. You make
decisions pertaining to the game on this screen. Clicking this screen
when it has a large white arrow pointing towards the right will
advance the plot on the Dialogue/ Movie Screen. During a testimony,
clicking it will advance the witness's comments. During a cross-
examination, clicking the relevant arrows will allow you to toggle
between the different sentences that the witness has said. Basically,
you do everything on this screen.
DIALOGUE/ MOVIE SCREEN
----------------------
This is found on the top half of your DS. Conversations that you
conduct with people will appear as textboxes on this screen. People
you talk to will appear on this screen when you talk to them. Places
you need to examine will also appear on this screen.
COURT RECORD
------------
The button to access the Court Record is found on the top right corner
of the Decision Screen. The Court Record basically holds everything
that are of importance to the current case. It consists of both the
Evidence Screen and the Profiles Screen. You can refer to the Court
Record at any time.
EVIDENCE SCREEN
---------------
The Evidence Screen shows all evidences pertaining to the current
case, as well as a short description for them. When you need to
present an evidence to contradict a witness's testimony during a
cross-examination, you'll need to do it from this screen.
PROFILES SCREEN
---------------
The Profiles Sceeen shows all the relevant personnel involved in the
current case, as well as a short description for them.
INVESTIGATION
-------------
Investigation is an important part of this game. You'll be spending a
lot of time finding clues to solve a case, and this involves examining
items and moving around.
EXAMINING
---------
An important segment of investigation. When you're given the option to
examine an area, click on the word "Examine" on the Decision Screen,
and the lower screen of your DS will show a picture of the area. A
pointer will be shown on the screen, and moving it around the area
with your stylus will point it to different objects in the same area.
When an item of interest appears, an option to "Examine" this object
will appear on the bottom right corner of the screen. Click it, and
you'll get a closer look at the object. If it turns out to be of
importance, it'll be added to the Court Record, under Evidence.
MOVING
------
Another important element of investigation. When you're given the
option to move to a new area, click on the word "Move" on the Decision
Screen, and the lower screen of your DS will show the places you can
move to. Click on any of them, and you'll find yourself reaching that
place in no time.
TESTIMONY
---------
A witness will give testimony during a trial. You can't do anything
during the testimony, but you take this opportunity to jot down any
contradicting statements, which could be used in your favor during the
cross-examination.
CROSS-EXAMINATION
-----------------
During a cross-examination, you can press your witness for more
details, and at times even force them to add to their testimony.
When you find a contradicting statement, you can also present an
evidence from your Evidence Screen to counter them. Cross-examination
is one of the most important aspects of the game, as this will be the
time that you make or break a trial. During a cross-examination, you
may notice some "exclamation marks" on the top right corner of the
Dialogue/ Movie Screen. These are "chances" that you've to make a
wrong presentation. If the judge doesn't agree with any objections you
make, he'll cause one of these marks to "explode". If you use up your
"quota", you'll lose the case immediately.
PRESSING
--------
The Press button appears on the top-left corner of your Decision
Screen during a cross-examination. You can press the witness for more
details or clarifications if you find that he or she isn't very
truthful. Doing so will lead to you shouting "HOLD IT!" on the screen.
At times, your pressing could be objected by the prosecutor, so try to
press only when necessary.
PRESENTING
----------
The Present button appears on the top-right corner of your Decision
Screen during a cross-examination. You can present an evidence to
counter a contradicting statement from a witness. Presenting a
contradicting evidence is the best way to expose a witness's lies. Use
it to turn cases into your favor. You must be absolutely sure though
when you present, because if the judge doesn't agree with you, he'll
penalise you by "exploding one exclamation mark" from your allowance.
When you present a contradicting evidence, you'll shout "OBJECTION!"
or "TAKE THAT!" on the screen.
======================================================================
======================================================================
4. EPISODE ONE: THE FIRST TURNABOUT
======================================================================
Characters:
1. Mia Fey: Your boss. Chief Attorney at Fey & Co. A very good
defense attorney. Nice racks, too.
2. Larry Butz: The defendant. A likeable guy who was Wright's friend in
grade school. A little emotional.
3. Cindy Stone: The victim. A model, she lived in an apartment by
herself.
4. Winston Payne: The prosecutor for Episode One. Generally bad at
getting his point across.
5. Frank Sahwit: Discovered Ms. Stone's body. Newspaper salesman who
saw Larry flee the scene. Happens to be lying.
6. The Judge: He's the, er, judge.
DAY 1: TRIAL
------------
The episode begins with a cut-scene. A woman is murdered, and the
identity of the murderer is immediately revealed to you. The evil man,
in a bid to escape punishment, immediately devised a plan to frame
someone else for the crime.
Which is where you come in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: August 3, 9:47am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're Phoenix Wright, and this is your first case. You'll be
defending for a friend of yours, who was framed for the murder of
that dead woman from the earlier cut-scene.
Before you proceed, take a look at your DS. The top screen will show
the in-game images and conversations. The lower screen is defaulted as
the decision screen, but you can access the Court Record and other
menus here by using the stylus.
Tap the button that says "Court Record" at the top right corner of the
lower screen. This brings you to the facts of the case.
Click the Profiles button to take a look for people involved in this
case. Pay special attention to the names of these people.
After that, click the Evidence button to check out items you've in
your possession now. You should see an Attorney's Badge and the
autopsy report, which states the following:
Time of death: 7/31, 4:00pm-5:00pm
Cause of death: Loss of blood due to blunt trauma.
Go back to the main screen and click on the white arrow on the touch
screen to progress. You'll be talking to Mia and Larry Butz, the
defendant as you do this. continue to click forward until the trial
begins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 2
Date: August 3, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The court is now in session for the trial. Talk to the judge, and
he'll remind you that your conduct during this trial will decide the
fate of your client. To ascertain whether you're indeed ready to
defend for your client, the judge will put you through a test.
The test will consist of a few simple questions. Answer them clearly
and concisely. You'll have three choices for each question. To choose
an answer, use the stylus to click on the desired answer. These are
the questions, and answers, of course :
Q. State the name of the defendant in this case.
A. Larry Butz.
Q. What's the victim's name?
A. Cindy Stone.
NOTE: If you haven't check out the Court Record previously, you won't
have the answer to this. However, even if you read the record earlier,
you'll somehow still "forget". Mia will then ask you to check out the
records for the victim's name.
Q. What's the cause of death? She died because she was...?
A. Hit with a blunt object.
Once you get past these questions, the judge will be convinced that
you're ready for the case.
The judge will now ask the Prosecutor Payne what was the object that
was used to kill the victim. Payne will reply that the murder weapon
is the statue of "The Thinker", which was found lying on the floor,
next to the victim.
When this was established, the statue will be added to the Court
Record. Mia will encourage you to pay attention to any evidence added
during the trial.
NOTE: Use the Court Record button to check the records frequently.
Some evidences may appear to be useless at one time, but will be the
key to your victory when the time is right.
The prosecution will now call upon Larry. Check out the hilarious
exchanges between Payne and Butz, which involved the definition of
"being dumped". Be sure to note the new evidence of the victim's
passport - she was in Paris until the day before she died. The passport
will be added as an evidence in the Court Record.
NOTE: The passport will be a key evidence in this case. Take note of
it.
As Payne continues to corner Butz, he'll eventually ask Butz what does
he think of the victim, after revealing that she has a number of
"sugar daddies". You now have a choice to:
a. Wait and see what happens;
b. Stop him from answering.
Whichever choice you make, Butz will make it difficult for you. But
choose answer b to put pressure on the prosecutor, and watch him
sweat.
NOTE: From now on, I'll just list the correct answer to the questions
that you've to answer.
Payne will then ask Butz whether he went to the victim's place on the
day of the murder. I'd suggest you tell him to answer honestly.
Payne will then call upon a witness, who claims to have seen Butz
"fleeing from the scene of crime". This bugger is none other than Mr.
Frank Sahwit... wait, he's looks familiar. In fact, he's the murderer
from the earlier cut-scene.
The next part of the game will involve Sahwit giving his testimony,
and you cross-examining him. Pay attention to what he has to say.
They're full of loopholes.
SAHWIT'S TESTIMONY 1
--------------------
Sahwit claims that he discovered the body at 1:00pm. He also claims
that he didn't call the police immediately because a blackout in the
building has caused the cordless phone in the victim's house to stop
working, which is why he had to go elsewhere to make the call. Payne
will present a Blackout Report that confirms that electricity to the
victim's building was cut from noon to 6:00pm on the day of the crime.
This Blackout Report will be added to the court record.
NOTE: The Blackout Report has an important information that could
prove to be useful later.
SAHWIT'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
----------------------------
When Sahwit says he's too scared to go inside the house, he'll follow
up by saying that he wanted to call the police immediately, but the
phone in her apartment wasn't working.
Click the "Press" button and ask him if he didn't enter the house,
how did he know that the phone wasn't working?
Sahwit will then confirm the time that he found the body as 1:00pm.
Now, click the "Present" button, look for the autopsy report, then
press "Present" to show the contradicting evidence - the autopsy notes
the time of death at sometime after 4:00pm. As such, the victim
could not be dead by 1:00pm.
NOTE: You can press the "Y" button, then shout "HOLD IT!" or
"OBJECTION!" into the mic to press or present. It's more fun in my
opinion!
SAHWIT'S TESTIMONY 2
--------------------
Sahwit will now claim that a voice from the TV in the deceased's house
confirmed the time as 1:00pm. But since the time of death is after
4pm, she must surely been watching a taped program.
SAHWIT'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
----------------------------
When Sahwit talks about hearing the time of the death from the taped
program, present the Blackout Record as a contradicting evidence -
Prosecutor Payne has confirmed that there was a blackout from noon to
6:00pm. The TV won't be working if it's 4:00pm then.
SAHWIT'S TESTIMONY 3
--------------------
Flustered, Sahwit will now claim he didn't "hear" the time afterall,
but instead "saw" it from a table clock in the apartment. Then,
strangely, he talks about the clock being used as the murder weapon.
SAHWIT'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
----------------------------
Wait till Sahwit talks about the clock being the murder weapon, then
present the statue as a contradicting evidence - the murder weapn
wasn't a clock, but a statue. How can a statue be a clock?
In a moment of frenzy, Payne will come in and confirm that the Statue
is indeed also a table clock - "just twist the neck and it will say
out the time". Ok, granted. But...
The judge will ask do you have any problems with Sahwit's testimony
now, since it has been established that the Statue is also a clock.
Say Yes - the only way he could have known the weapon was a clock is
to hold it in his hand. Yet Sahwit testified that he never entered
the apartment. This is clearly a contradiction.
Now, when asked, tell the judge that the witness knew it was a clock,
because he "Went into the apartment".
The truth will need some evidence to support though. The judge will
now ask you to make grounds for your claims. You're given three
choices to prove your theory. Choose the one that says "try sounding
the clock". This will prove that the clock is three hours slow, which
is exactly the discrepancy between what Sahwit heard and the actual
time of death.
Now, Sahwit is a tough fighter. He'll rebut that yes, the clock is
three hours slow now, but how can you be sure it was three hours slow
on the day of the crime? Well, you can't be sure. It looks like you've
failed...
But wait! Remember the passport? When Mia asked you whether you've any
idea that can save the case, say "yes", then present the passport
as evidence. The victim only returned home from Paris a day before the
murder. The time difference between Japan and Paris is nine hours.
When it's 4:00pm in Japan, it's 1:00am the next day in Paris. The
clock wasn't three hours slow, no. It was nine hours fast!
NOTE: When you've a decisive evidence to present, you can press the
"Y" button and then shout "TAKE THAT!" into the mic to present it.
Sahwit will collapse in the witness stand, and will eventually be
arrested. Watch the judge praise you, and he'll declare that the
defendant is not guilty! Case won!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: August 3, 2:32pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mia wants you to show something to Larry to let him know that Cindy
actually cares a lot for him. Choose the statue-cum-clock, which Larry
made for Cindy. She brought it to Paris, even though it's quite a
heavy clock to carry on a travel. Also, try catching the joke of
Mia calling Larry "Harry".
NOTE: There's no penalty for getting this wrong, but why not help a
friend feel better?
At the end of the chapter, you'll reflect on the case:
"And so, my first trial came to a close. Larry slapped me on the back
and said, 'Gee, Nick, it's good to have friends!' But I'm pretty sure
he's not going to pay me. Unless you count the clock he gave Mia.
I didn't know it then... but that clock was soon going to be at the
center of another incident. And my promise to tell the chief about me
and Larry... would be one promise that I wouldn't be able to keep."
Episode completed. You've unlocked a brand new episode. The game will
prompt you to save now.
======================================================================
======================================================================
5. EPISODE TWO: TURNABOUT SISTERS
======================================================================
Characters:
1. Mia Fey: Your boss. Chief Attorney at Fey & Co. A very good
defense attorney. Unfortunately, she's also the victim this time
round.
2. Maya Fey: Mia's sister. The defendant of this case.
3. Dick Gumshoe: Detective at the local precint. In charge of the
initial investigation.
4. Miles Edgeworth: A gifted prosecutor, and a ruthless man who'd do
anything to get a "guilty" verdict.
5. April May: An eye witness to the evebts. Testifies that she saw
Maya commit the murder.
6. Marvin Grossberg: A veteran defense attorney. Mia's mentor.
7. Bellboy: The bellboy at the Gatewater Hotel.
8. Redd White: An eye witness. CEO of the information gathering
company, Bluecorp.
9. The Judge: Good ol' Judge.
DAY 1: INVESTIGATION
--------------------
Confirm the episode, then watch the beginning scene, or rather, read
the phone conversation between Mia and Maya. Mia wants to Maya to help
hold some papers for her, and they made an arrangement to meet up in
the evening. The conversation is recorded at September 5, 9:27am.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Fey & Co. Law Offices
Date: September 5, 8:57pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next scene brings us to Fey & Co. Law Offices, at 8:57pm on the
same day. A mysterious person is trying to get some papers from Mia.
The conversation ended with an assault on Mia, who's killed as a
result. The offendor's face is also revealed to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Fey & Co. Law Offices
Date: September 5, 9:08pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At 9:08pm, you arrived back at the office. You were wondering about
the whereabouts of Mia, when you smell blood. You'll now be introduced
to the investigation procedure. You'll be given a choice either to
"Examine" or "Move". Examine will let you look around the room for
clues. Move will bring us a menu for you to go to another area. Since
there isn't much to examine here, choose "Move", and choose "Office"
when the game asks you where do you want to move to.
Watch the cut-scene as you find the dead body of Mia, and a sobbing
girl beside her. The girl will soon pass out. Leaving her, you
approach Mia's body to find that it's still warm, which means she has
been killed not very long ago.
Examine Mia's body to find that she was struck on the head with a
blunt object. She probably died instantly. "The Thinker" lying next to
her must have been the murder weapon. The Thinker will now be added to
the Court Record.
There're also some glass shards near Mia's body. Must be pieces of the
glass light stand lying broken in the back of the room. These will be
added to the Court Record as well.
As you're about to stop the examination, you'll suddenly find a piece
of paper, which could've fallen from Mia's hand. Exit from the body,
and examine the small piece of paper that is just to the right of Mia.
A word is written in Mia's own blood (presumably) on this scrap of paper,
and it says "Maya". The paper is actually a receipt from a department
store, dated yesterday. This will be added to the Court Record.
NOTE: This receipt is the decisive evidence for this case. Remember it.
At this point, you'll call the police. Examine the phone to find a few
of the screws on the receive missing. It looks like someone was halfway
through taking it apart.
Next, you'll be immediately interrupted by a loud scream from outside
the window. Someone has saw you, and is apparently calling the police
as well! Ignore her for the moment, since you can't do anything
about it now.
Now, move to the other office to find the girl. She'll reveal that
she's Maya Fey. Remember the piece of paper that says "Maya" you found
just now? Hmm. You'll have to talk to this girl. When given the
choices, click "Talk", then click "what happened".
Maya will inform you that she came into the office, and found that
Mia was already dead. Now, ask her about "you and the Chief". She'll
tell you that she's Mia's younger sister, she was here because Mia
wanted her to keep some evidence for her. The evidence was supposed
to be kept in The Thinker.
Your next move should be to present the paper to Maya. Present the
receipt, and Maya will express a level of shock. Why would Mia write
her name?After this, you'll feel extremely bad, and then you'll hear the
police siren.
Must be the woman just now, who called the police. Before you know
it, the police will rush into the room. Detective Dick Gumshoe (what.
a.name.) is the man you should interact with now. He'll find the
receipt, and he'll arrest Maya based on the "dying message".
You'll now talk about what happens next:
"Mia's younger sister, Maya, was arrested on the spot. I was taken in
for questioning and didn't get out until the next morning. My eyes
were heavy... but I couldn't sleep. I sat around, waiting for visiting
hours to begin at the detention center. I had to talk to Maya as soon
as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: September 6, 9:07am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Maya, and she'll ask you to be her attorney. You'll be given
three choices to reply her. Be a man, and tell her, yes, you'll be
her attorney. Even though the odds are stacked against her, somehow
you know she's not the murderer.
As the conversation progresses, you'll get to talk to Maya. Do so.
You'll find that she's actually a spirit medium in training. Ask her
more about spirit mediums. Apparently, Mia is a powerful spirit
medium as well. Now, that's stretching the plot a bit. Nevertheless,
switch the conversation to "the day of the crime". She'll tell you
that she has arranged to meet Mia, to help her hold onto an important
piece of evidence. Of course, this evidence would be kept in the
statue that Larry made.
Next, Maya will let you listen to the recording of their phone
conversation. Click "your Cell Phone", only to find that Gumshoe has
taken the phone. To remind you to get hold of the phone from Gumshoe,
Maya will write you a memo. This memo will be added to your Court
Record.
Now, even though you've agreed to help Maya, she isn't exactly
confident of your pedigree. She has asked you to her her look for a
lawyer that was previously recommended by Mia, "in case she gets into
trouble". To prevent sounding like a loser, gracefully accept the
request, then move to "Grossberg Law Offices".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: September 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grossberg is not in the office, duh! Come back later. Move back to
"Fey and Co. Law Offices" then.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Fey and Co. Law Offices
Date: September 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meet Gumshoe here. When the game prompts you to remember his name,
click "Detective Gumshoe". He'll be happy that you remember his name.
Continue through the conversation until you can talk to him. Talk to
him about "Mia" to gain access to the autopsy report, which states:
Time of death: 9/5 at 9:00pm
Cause of death: Single blunt force trauma. Death was instantaneous.
Now, talk to him about "Maya" to get the information that Prosecutor
Edgeworth will be in charge of the prosecution. Talk to him about
"Edgeworth" now. You can now see Edgeworth's profile under the
Profile screen.
After talking about Edgeworth, go to the Evidence screen to find
Maya's memo, then present it to Gumshoe. The purpose of doing this is
to gain access to Maya's cell phone. When you've to select an answer,
click "tell him not so straight", since you don't want him to know
about the phone recording. After some deliberation, Gumshoe will
pass the phone to you. This will be added to your Court Record, as
usual.
Go to the Court Record now to select the cell phone, then click the
Check button on the bottom right corner of the bottom screen to listen
to the recorded conversation.
After that, end the conversation with Gumshoe. He'll will end off by
warning you not to talk to the witness. Wait, witness? Who? Oh, the
woman who screamed while you were checking out the phone in Mia's
office. Hmm. What did Gumshoe say? Oh, her name is April May. What?
She won't be allowed to leave her room until the trial? So, that means
she's still in the hotel across the way. Time to go there and pay
her a visit.
Move to "Gatewater Hotel".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
Date: September 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to April until she tells you that she wants to go "freshen up".
Use this opportunity to examine her room. See the drawer on the left
side of the screen? Examine it... but you can't, as April suddenly
appears to stop you from doing so. Something is going on here.
Continue your examination by checking out the table near the window.
A bottle and two glasses are on the table. Note: TWO glasses. Somebody
must be staying with her.
Now check the window. You can see the Fey and Co. Law Offices Building
across the street. You can see the inside of the room pretty clearly
from here, but it would be a little difficult to recognize a face from
this distance though.
Go back now and talk to April. Regardless of what you ask her, she
won't bulge. There's nothing else you can do here, so go back to
Grossberg's office to see whether the elite lawyer is back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: September 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This time round, your effort won't be in vain. Talk to Grossberg, and
he seems to know about Maya's case before you elaborate, and he'll
strangely refuse to represent her point blank. Talk to him now and
select "your refusal". You'll find no logical explanation, and he'll
even confuse you further by saying that no lawyer worth their salt
will take on this case.
Now, you should talk to him about the painting in his office. It's
important. He'll tell you that is his favorite piece, and he wouldn't
part with it
for anything.
Now leave and return to the Detention Center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: September 6, 3:42pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You're back at the Detention Center with Maya now. Break the news to
her that Grossberg has refused the case. Talk to Maya, and she'll
reveal some details about a murder case from 15 years ago. Her mother,
a spirit medium as well, helped the police, but gave the police the
wrong leads, leading to a wrongful arrest. Look out for the
interesting points of this case, particularly about a man called
"White".
At the end of the visitation time, you'll have to make a decision
whether to pursue this case. Select "Defend Maya" to make a decision
to defend her regardless of whether she agrees or not. When she asks
you why, tell her "I can't abandon you".
Make a pact with Maya to trust each other, then watch the cut-scene
about the mysterious drawer at April's room. This is the cue for you
to return to Gatewater Hotel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
Date: September 6
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you're back at this room, April is nowhere to be found. Instead,
you'll see a bellboy there. Since April is not around, this is the
chance for you to snoop around. The bellboy will also pass you a
message to pass to April:
"... Mr. White of Bluecorp phoned."
Hmm, White was the name of the guy who ruined Mia and Maya's mother.
Interesting.
Now, quickly examine the drawer to find a wiretap. A wiretap? What's
April doing with a wiretap?
Anyway, quickly leave now as April will come back as soon as you
retrieved the wiretap into your Court Record. The game will now prompt
you to save.
DAY 2: TRIAL
------------
Let the trial begin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 1
Date: September 7, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first witness that Edgeworth calls upon will be Gumshoe. Gumshoe
will provide the details of the murder by the use of a floor plan.
This will be added to your Court Record.
GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
Nothing you didn't know of. Mentioned that has has "hard evidence" to
arrest Maya.
GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
You'll need to do some bluffing now, since you don't really know what
is there to cross-examine.
When Gumshoe says that he immediately arrested Maya when he reached
the scene of crime, press him. He'll reply that he had a witness account
describing Maya. Press again and ask him didn't he mentioned earlier
that he has a "hard evidence" to arrest Maya? What's with the witness
then?
Gumshoe will deny that he mentioned "hard evidence", but the judge
will concur with you. The detetive will have to testify once more.
GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY 2
---------------------
This time, he'll mention about the receipt that has the blood-written
"Maya" on it.
GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-----------------------------
When Gumshoe talks about finding blood on Mia's hand, and that lab
results showed that the blood that wrote the words "Maya" belongs to
Mia, etc., present the autopsy report - if death was instantaneous as
mentioned in the report, how could Mia actually write the words?
Edgeworth will object you right away though, and he'll ask you when
did you obtain the autopsy report. If you remember, you got it "the
day after the murder". Edgeworth will then present a second autopsy,
which states that:
"Death was ALMOST IMMEDIATE due to a blow from a blunt object... but
there was a possibility the victim lived for several minutes after the
blow."
Edgeworth will press you now, so reply that "the detective is a sham!"
and put all the blame on Gumshoe for giving you a faulty report. The
new autopsy report will now overwrite the previous report.
Edgeworth will now call upon the "innocent" April to the stands. She'll
woo the crowd with her charm and make life difficult for you.
APRIL'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
At 9:00pm, April looked out of the window, and she saw a woman with
long hair being attacked. The person attacking her was the girl in
the defendant's chair (that is, Maya). Then, the girl who was hit got
up and ran away, while the girl who hit her caught up and hit her.
The court will try not to let you cross-examine April, since her
testimony is very firm. But when you're given a choice whether you
want to, say "yes, I'm doing it".
APRIL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
Press her immediately when she said that she was looking out of the
window at 9:00pm. Ask her why did she look out. Was she expecting to
see something? She'll avoid answering. When given a choice whether
to press further about this, back down. Edgeworth is a strong
opponent and he'll almost certainly object to your pressing, which
will be deemed trivial.
Let April continue, then when she said that she saw Maya, press her
and ask her why she was so sure that it was Maya. She'll give some
silly excuses about girlish physique, etc., and Edgeworth will back
her up, saying that the only person with a girlish physique at the
scene of crime is Maya. Now, you'll be given a choice to attack this
testimony. Select "I question this testimony". Then, select "you're
lying" - if April has really saw Maya, she'd have noticed Maya's
clothes before noticing her physique. Maya has been in her spirit
medium costume since the day of the crime. No one wears clothes like
this on a daily basis.
Somehow, April will get away with this by acting blur. Time for more
testimony from her.
APRIL'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
April's second testimony claims that the victim dodged the first
attack and ran off to the right. Then the defendant ran after her and
hit her with the weapon. She was, amazingly, able to identify the
weapon as a statue-cum-clock, from that distance.
APRIL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Wait till April talks about the statue-cum-clock, then present the
statue as a contradicting evidence. How did she know, just by looking
at the statue, that it's also a clock? Remember, another person in much
the same position as her recently called this a 'clock' too, and he was
found guilty of murder.
Edgeworth will object you, and regard your questions as "trivial"
once again. But you're onto something, and you'll automatically
object his objection (cool).
The judge will concur with you. You can continue your cross-
examination.
April will continue to lie through her skin now, telling the court
that she "heard" the clock from her room. Expose her lie by telling
the court that the clock "wouldn't have rung". Why? Because "it's
empty". The clock is missing its clockwork, as first revealed in Mia's
teleconversation with Maya.
Edgeworth will not give up. He knows the clockwork was empty, and he
argues that if the clockwork is removed after the witness heard the
clock, then there is no contradiction. Can you prove when the
clockwork was removed? You can.
Present the cell phone record of Mia and Maya's conversation, which
clearly states that Mia removed the clockwork way before the time of
death, even way before May checks in at the hotel.
April still won't give up. She argues that she has saw the clock in
a shop before. Click "yes" when the judge asks whether you've anymore
questions. Present the statue again - remember what Larry told you in
the last case? This clock was never in any store. It was made by himself
for Cindy, and given to Mia eventually. Only two of these exist in the
world, and the one that isn't here is in police custody since it was
the weapon that killed Cindy.
Proceed with the conversation with April and the judge until you're
given all the opportunity to explain the truth. When asked to do so,
tell April that she knows that the weapon was a clock because "she
heard about it". Present the wiretap now to prove this - April has
been tapping on Mia's phone.
Edgeworth will object (again), but the judge will brush him aside.
He'll then dare you to prove that by tapping Mia's phone, April will
know that the weapon is a clock. Present the cell phone record again,
and listen to the conversation once more to prove this.
April will put on a show now, crying and all that. It's time to deal
the final blow. Click "you did it, didn't you?". This will cause her
to slip her tongue and admit that she tapped Mia's phone. But she also
has an alibi - she was getting room service from the bellboy at 9:00pm
on the day of the crime.
Call the bellboy. Accept the condition that if nothing comes out from
the bellboy, Maya will be declared guilty on the spot. You're taking a
huge gamble now.
BELLBOY'S TESTIMONY
-------------------
The Bellboy received a call after 8:00pm from April, who asked for an
ice coffee to be brought to her at 9:00pm, on the dot. The bellboy
brought it to her at precisely the requested time, personally.
BELLBOY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
You'll find nothing from the Bellboy, who has no reasons to lie.
Try pressing at various stops, until Edgeworth will suggest to the
judge to let the Bellboy leave. Plead for one last question, and
"ask about check-in", which will reveal that April actually checked-in
with another person. That's the revelation you needed!
Enjoy the explanation of what happened in this rather tedious case.
When asked to choose who's the murderer, simply answer "the man who
checked-in with Miss May" (duh!). The court will adjourn after that,
but the case won't be over. Not yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: September 7, 2:24pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Maya until the conversation is over. After the court became
certain that April was lying, a lot, during her testimony, what's
left of her testimony is this:
"The victim dodged an attack then ran to the right, but she was caught
and struck."
This testimony is now added to the Court Record for tomorrow.
NOTE: Again, this is an important evidence. It's almost decisive.
Save your game now.
DAY 2: INVESTIGATION
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Vistor's Room
Date: September 7, 3:11pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to April. She has been arrested, by the way. No matter what
you say, she won't bulge. The identity of the mysterious man is still
at large. Go to the hotel again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ever-present Bellboy is here again. Talk to him about "the man
with Miss May", and you'll get a lead. A "lady killer", so to say. The
Bellboy also mentioned that if you've a photo of that man, he'll be
able to identify him. Bear that in mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to Grossberg's office again. The old man is once again out of
office. Notice now that there're something new on the table. Photos!
Two of them, in fact. Examine them. Something's been written in pencil
on the backs:
"DL-6 Incident - Exhibit A"
"DL-6 Incident - Exhibit B"
View both the photos. Exhibit A shows a woman who looks familiar.
Exhibit shows a man with purple hair. Take Exhibit B and add it to the
Court Record.
NOTE: You can only take one photograph with you.
Next, examine the wall... hey, wasn't there a giant painting hanging
on that wall when you came here previously? The game will prompt you
to remember what the painting was about. Click "fishmen".
NOTE: It doesn't matter what you click, actually, All the outcome will
be the same regardless of what you click.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present the photograph you found at Grossberg's office to the Bellboy.
The bellboy will confirm that he's the man who checked-in with April.
The bellboy will be eager to write an affidavit to confirm that the man
in the photograph is the man who checked-in with April. Allow him to do
so. This will be added to the Court Report.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Vistor's Room
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to April, and present the photograph of the man to her.
Watch her face change, but she'll quickly regain composure. Present
the Bellboy's Affidavit now. This will be a great blow to her. Now,
"push her hard" (er, this doesn't sound very nice, but it's not what
you think), threaten to bring this to the press if she doesn't
bulge.
She'll talk. The man in question is Redd White, who happens to be
April's boss. He's the head of Bluecorp, an "information gathering
agency". Get the location of Bluecorp from April, then move towards
there.
NOTE: The Bellboy's Affidavit will be discarded now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Bluecorp Inc. CEO's Office
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may notice the very familiar painting in this office, but we'll
come to that later. Talk to White about April, and he'll try to turn
her into a scapegoat. Ask him about Bluecorp, and he'll tell you that
he's in the business of buying and selling various kinds of
information. Continue talking to him, now about the night of the
murder. You'll find that you've no way of putting him on the witness
stand, and he won't reveal anything unless you manage to do so.
Now, ask him about that painting. Tell him that you've seen it
before, and watch him turn nasty. Go back to Grossberg now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grossberg will be in his office now, but he doesn't seem to have
notice you. Clear your throat to get his attention, then talk to him
about today's trial, his refusal to help, and Mr. White (in that
sequence). Follow these by asking him about the big painting. Why
did Grossberg, who like the painting so much, gave it away to White?
Select "he's blackmailing you". Jackpot. The nature of White's company
makes it easy for him to blackmail anyone in town.
Grossberg will finally agree to talk. You'll find out that White makes
his living through intimidation. Bluecorp is a company that excels in
finding people's weaknesses, and blackmailing them in the process.
Grossberg has been paying them for 15 years now. And it was all
because of the DL-6 Incident, which you saw on the back of the
photographs.
Probe him about the incident, and you'll find out that it's somehow
linked with Mia and Maya's mother. Yes, it's quite clear now that the
other photograph in Grossberg's office is that of their mother, Misty
Fey. Even though Grossberg managed to help Mdm Fey out of trouble
during the DL-6 Incident, the murder case still remained unsolved.
Next, ask him why was he blackmailed over this. It was quite simple.
White offered Grossberg riches for the information about the police
wrongly trusting Mdm Fey, and then revealed this to the media. The
police suffered as a result, and have been looking for the person who
released the information ever since. It was then that White came in
with the blackmail.
Grossberg will now point you to Mia's office for the next clues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Fey and Co. Law Offices
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Mia's office, examine the shelves now for the cases that she
has worked on. You'll be asked to select which files to look at,
select "File 'A-I'".
Under "F", you'll find the file for "Misty Fey". Read it. It says:
"'I've tarnished the Fey name.' Leaving only three words, my mother
vanished. I was determined to find the ones who had made my mother
blame herself in this way. Using the E.S.P. that runs in my family,
I held an audience with the dead. Finally, the names of two men
surfaced. One was MARVIN GROSSBERG, a lawyer who sold my mother's
information for riches. The other was the man who sold the information
to the press. This parasite, who makes his fortune on threats and
coercion, his name is..."
The record stops here, strangely.
Now, examine the shelves again for "File 'J-S'". Nothing much here,
but choose to "Skim" through the reports nonetheless. At the end of
"S", you'll find a number of reports on suicides. Apparently, these
suicides involve politicians, policemen, etc. You'll also notice that:
"There's writing on most of these in pencil. 'White...?' This is Mia's
handwriting. Wait, I get it! Mia thought he was involved in these
'suicides'! White drove them all to... I can use these newspaper
clippings. Let's find the most distressing one..."
Newspaper Clipping added to your Court Record!
Examine the shelves once more. The game will ask whether you'd want to
check the files once more. Select "check 'em", then go to "File 'T-Z'"
now. When you reach "W", you'll find that the entire "W" section is
missing.
With the new knowledge that you've, visit Bluecorp again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Bluecorp Inc. CEO's Office
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to the scum. White threatens that if you continue to pester him,
a "nasty accident" will happen to you. There's no point talking to
him now. Instead, present the newspaper clipping to him, which was
about the fall of a politician. Tell White that you knew that he
blackmailed the politician until he committed.
Continue to argue with him as he tells you all sort of crap, then
further tell him that's "you're wrong" until he calls the public
prosecutor. He mentions now that he's willing to testify in court
because he has seen the murder took place, and that the murderer is
YOU.
Gumshoe will appear in no time to take you into custody. Yes, you've
been arrested. But if this is the only way to get White to testify in
court, this will be the only way to attack him in court as well. The
good thing is, Maya will be released. At least you helped Mia to look
after her sister well enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maya will visit you, and ask what can she do for you. There's actually
nothing she can do, and please, don't ask her to "break you out of
here"! Just joke and ask her to cheer you on. After the conversation
with her, you end the day by thinking:
"It's the beginning of a new century, yet with crime it's the same
old story. In fact, it's getting worse. Lengthy court proceedings are
no long realistic. Beginning a few years ago, a limit of three days
was put on initial court trials. Almost all finish in a day, most with
a guilty verdict. I ever though I'd end up in the defendant's chair
myself. Tomorrow, the true culprit will appear as a witness. This is
it. It's me or him!"

-------------
So, this is it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: September 9, 9:52am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation, and you'll reveal that you'll be defending
yourself, just like in the movies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Court Room No. 1
Date: September 9, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth will summon White to the witness stands immediately. Don't
bother with raising an objection, since it'll lead you nowhere. These
buggers are in it together.
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
At about 9:00pm on the day of the crime, White claims that he was
reading some papers by the window. He heard a bedlam outside, so he
turned to look at the building across the way, and saw you attacking a
woman with long hair. He called April over at once. Then, the woman
with long hair ran, you gave chase, and there was a terrible impaction,
and it was all over.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
White's testimony is almost perfect, and it's difficult to find a
weakness in it. Try pressing a little on the timings, etc., but when
he said that he saw YOU attacking the victim, press him by saying that
it contradicts what April has seen. April has specifically mentioned a
"girl".
White will reply that he's very confident of his eyesight. Ok. Let him
go on this one. The statement that you'll really want to press is the
one where he says that the victim ran, and you gave chased. Tell him
to be more specific, and he'll say that the victim ran to the left
when she was attacked.
This will be added to his testimony, as requested by the judge. This
is your chance. Present April's Testimony - White said the victim ran
to the 'left'. But that directly contradicts April's testimony, which
clearly stated that the victim ran 'right'.
When White said that you must have misheard her, you'll tell him to
look at the floor plans. This will bring up the floor plan on the top
screen, to show the positions of the killer and Mia. It's easy to
understand why the victim will NOT run to the left, since she'd have
been running directly away from the door.
White will be very adamant that he saw Mia ran "left". You know what
this means, don't you? The only way White could've seen Mia ran left,
is when he's facing Mia directly during the murder - Mia running to
her right would have been perceived as running to White's left.
Ok, we haven't reach this part yet. Anyway, Maya will suggest that she
doesn't think that White is lying about him seeing Mia ran left.
You'll ponder for a moment, then the judge will ask you whether you
can explain why April and White saw the direction differently. Tell
the judge "both are right". There's only one scenario that would
explain their conflicting accounts - the witness wasn't viewing the
crime from the hotel.
Edgeworth will then ask where could he have been? You'll reply that
he was at the law offices. You'll also be added to point out on the
screen the location of White on the screen, Move your stylus to
the red circle with a "K", then click Present. This is the position of
the murderer. When the victim ran for the door, if he was watching from
this point, to him it would appear that she ran to the "left".
Still, you won't nail him so easily. White will ask for a chance to
testify again.
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
White now claims that both April's and his testimonies are correct.
When you assaulted the victim, she first ran to the left, and then you
hit her. Then, with the last of her strength, she ran to the right.
This is when April saw her. You chased, and delivered the final blow.
Note that he's now claiming you've hit her TWICE. Fool.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Wipe that smile off White's face by presenting the autopsy report when
he says that you delivered the final blow - the victim died from a
single blow, not two blows.
Edgeworth will now call for a 10-minute break because "the witness is
obviously confused". But you'll object right away. The crowd and the
judge will be on your side, and White has to testify again..
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 3
-------------------
White's final testimony claims that he looked at the other window when
he heard that thing fall. Then, he saw Mia running to the left. You
then attacked her, but she dodged. She then ran to the right and you
deliver the killer blow.
White will also feign a stomach upset to try and get out of being
cross-examined by you. Tell him to deal with it.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
---------------------------
Immediately into his first sentence, press him about what was "that
thing" that fell. He'll reply that it's the glass light stand. Maya
will ask you do you find this statement odd. Reply "yeah, very odd".
This will cause you to press further. Force him to change his
testimony to him seeing the glass light stand.
When he does that, quickly present the floor plans to counter him.
The top screen will show the floor plan now. Obviously, if White has
looked through the windom of the office, the stand is not within the
visible area - the only time you could have seen the stand must have
been the moment it fell. And the only place you could have seen that
from, is inside the Fey Law Offices. In other words, he was at the
scene of the crime when the murder took place.
Edgeworth is still around though! He'll now try to convince White to
admit "the crime of placing the wiretap". His point is that, White
must have been at the Fey Offices before the day of murder to place
the wiretap, thus he'd have seen the light stand is in the office
then.
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 4
-------------------
White will testify that it was the beginning of September, the week
before the murder, that he placed the wiretap. He saw the glass light
stand then. Now, if you're me, you'll know immediately that the
receipt that has Maya's name on it will come into play - remember that
the receipt was for buying something on the day before the murder.
I'll bet my last dollar that it's for buying the light stand. Remember
that.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 4
---------------------------
This is a little tricky. You'll find nothing to present against White
as he rattles on, and you'll find yourself going through the testimony
over and over again without progress. The way to get out of this is to
press every single sentence that White says. And I mean, every single
sentence. There will come a time when you realised that you've no more
ammos to fight, and that's when the judge asks whether you want to
give up.
Ponder about giving up, and then you'll hear Mia's voice!
"Never give up, Phoenix!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: September 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find yourself at the waiting lobby next, and Mia is standing
right in front of you! Hey, isn't she, like, DEAD? Ok, engage in
conversation to find that when you were defeated in court, Maya's
true powers were awaken. So, Maya is channeling Mia. Maya is also
Mia now. Way to go. Mia (in Maya's body) will tell you never to give
up. She'll also bring your attention now to the receipt:
Amount spent: $1,000.00
Item purchased: Glass Light Stand
Date of Purchase: September 4
Someone say hell yeah!
NOTE: Before Mia "appeared", presenting the receipt during the cross-
examination will be useless. I was personally shot down by jumping the
gun before Mia "appeared". Similarly you'll be shot down by the judge
if you do so. You must wait for this conversation with Mia to reveal
the contents of the Receipt.
The receipt, with its new revelation, is updated in your Court Record.

Go through the conversations. You'll be given a "last chance" to
fight the case. Thanks, Edgeworth.
WHITE's CROSS-EXAMINATION 4 (CONTINUED)
---------------------------------------
When White talks about the the week before the murder, present the
receipt - Glass light stand, purchased on the day before the murder.
This means that when White "allegedly" entered the Fey offices, the
stand could not have been there.
Still, Edgeworth won't give up. There's no concrete proof that you're
innocent, and he's right. He'll ask for one more day. Object the
request. Even though the judge will allow the day's grace, Mia will
intervene. She'll ask you to read a note aloud. This is a memo from
Mia, which has a list of people's names in Mia's handwriting. Present
this memo, and you'll narrate the following progress:
"The memo Mia had given me was a list of names. Many of them sounded
strangely familiar. People in finance, famous celebrities... That's
when it happened."
"It" is when White goes berserk. Mia will threaten to turn this list
to the media if White doesn't admit to his guilt.
White will then confess. Wou won! A "spirited" fightback! Enjoy the
sweet smell of success!

"Steel Samurai" is actually an actor by the name of Will Powers. The
victim in question is Jack Hammer, who plays the villain "Evil
Magistrate" in the TV show. Hammer's body was found inside his Evil
Magistrate costume. The "Samurai Spear" is believed to be the weapon.
Police are investigating the case blah blah.
After the news, the phone will ring. Maya will pick it up and realise
that it was Powers on the line. He wants YOU to defend him.
Move to the Detention Center to meet Powers.

Date: October 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Read through all the conversations until you get the chance to talk
to Powers. Ask him "what happened". He'll tell you that the cast was
at Global Studios for a run-through of an episode. They ran through a
few action sequences at 10:00am yesterday. There was a rehearsal
scheduled for 5:00pm, but when the time came, the Evil Magistrate was
found lying in a crumpled heap near the set. They took off his mask,
and discovered that it was Jack Hammer, dead. He had been expertly
skewered with the "Samurai Spear", which is a weapon that the Steel
Samurai uses in the program.
Ask Powers about his alibi next. He mentions that he came into the
studios at 9:00am, and worked through some action scenes till noon.
He took a nap in the dressing room after lunch. When he woke up, it
was already 5:00pm. He hurried to the studio, and found everyone
looking shocked. He was arrested on the spot.
Powers will give you a map of Global Studios next. Time to go there.

Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A security lady will stop you from entering. Ask her about the studios
and she'll reveal that Hammer was a big star at Global Studios some
10 years ago.
Ask her about Will Powers next. She'll tell you that she believes
Powers is guilty. Press her for her reason for suspicion, and she'll
tell you that she was standing here yesterday, from 1:00pm to 5:00pm,
until they found the body. If anyone wants to go to the studios during
this time, they'll have to pass through her. Only one person went by
there between 1:00pm and 2:30pm, which was when the murder took place,
and the person was Powers.
Now, ask about Jack Hammer. She'll have rave reviews for him. An
accident during filming five years ago reduced him to playing the
villain on a children's program.
NOTE: This accident from five years ago is the key for this case.
You'll get more information about this as you progress.
You can't do anything more here, so return to the Detention Center.

Talk to Powers about his alibi again, since it contradicts that of
the security lady. But Powers assures you that he was sleeping during
during the period in question. He doesn't seem to be lying.
Ask him about the security lady. This will result in Powers writing a
formal letter to request your representation. Power's letter will be
added to the Court Record.

Present Power's letter to the security lady. She'll allow you to
pass, but only to the studios. You'll also get to look at the map of
this area. Pay 50 cents to obtain the map, and add it to your Court
Record.
NOTE: Power's letter will be discarded now.
Move to "Outside Studio One" now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Date: October 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dick Gumshoe is here. Talk to him about the investigations. You'll
obtain the autopsy report, yes, the latest version, It states that:
Time of death: 10/15 at 2:30pm
Caused of death: Pierced through the chest by a spear
As usual, this goes into your Court Record. Ask him now about the
reason for arrest. He replies that the murder took place right over
in Studio One. The victim entered Studio One at approximately 1:00pm.
There was no one else there then. The autopsy report confirms the time
of death as 2:30pm, and only one person went to Studio One between
1:00pm and 2:30pm. The person was Powers.
Talk to Gumshoe about the credibility of the security lady. He'll
mention something about a decisive evidence. Ask him about it, and
he'll talk about a photo - the photo of the Steel Samurai heading
towards the scene of crime. The photo was taken by an automatic
camera at the gate that links the Employee Area and the studios.
The good thing that came out of this is that you'll now have the
freedom to move around the studios, with the blessing of Gumshoe. He's
quite a nice guy afterall.

Go back to the main gate to find the security lady stuffing her face
with donuts. Talk to her about the "photographic proof". She'll show
you where the automatic camera is. Press for more information about
this camera, and you'll learn that it snaps a photo of anyone who
passes by, and records the time as well whenever it takes a photo.
She'll view all the photos on the computer over in the security guard
station, and she checks them every day before going home.
Talk to her about Hammer again and her reasons for suspecting Powers
if you want, but there's nothing you don't know of here. Go to the
Employee Area next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Examine the area if you want just to get a feel of the stuff around
here. Of significance are the following:
1. The metal grate on the drain here has been taken off. The drain is
pretty big. Looks like a kid could fit through it.
2. Remains of yesterday's lunch are scattered around on the table.
There was a t-bone on one of the plates, minus the steak.
Go to the "Dressing Room" next.

Examine the objects in this room. The most important object to examine
is Powers' bag. You'll obtain an employee cardkey from there. The card
sats "Studio One". "Borrow" it into your Court Record.

Use the cardkey you found in the dressing room on the door at the end.
It'll open. Move to "Inside Studio One" now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Studio One
Date: October 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examine the objects in this room. Of significance are:
1. The outline of Hammer's body in found on the ground. Strangely,
the spear-inflicted cause of death didn't seem to leave a lot of
blood stains on the ground. Maybe the costume absorbed most of it.
Maybe not.
2. The director's chair - nothing of interests to you now, but keep
this chair in mind because you'll need to come back to it later.
3. The cameras - this will introduce the character Penny Nichols, an
assistant in the studio.
Talk to Penny about the day of the crime. She was in the studio
the whole day, as she was the only assistant employed. In the
morning, they went through the action sequences in the employee area.
Powers and Hammer were there, along with everyone else. After eating
lunch, Hammer went to Studio One, and Powers went into the dressing
room. Penny didn't see either of them after that.
Ask her about Powers' alibi now. Unfortunately, she didn't go into
the dressing room when Powers was sleeping, so she couldn't confirm
his statements.
After a while, Penny will tell you that something has been bothering
her. She'll tell you that on the day of the crime, just after noon,
she sensed that someone was here in Studio One, and she was sure
it isn't some other employees. She has a feeling that it was someone
from outside, although this kinda contradicts the security lady's
claims that everyone has to pass through her.
Before you go, ask Penny about "sensing someone" if you want. You'll
gain nothing from this, so follow Maya's heed and go after the
security lady.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to the security lady. Ask her about Penny's claim, and see her go
berserk! She'll then run off, presumably to confront Penny. Take this
opportunity to examine the computer in the security room. Try the
computer, and when prompted to key in the number for the camera,
select "ST1-307". This will print out the data for the day of the
crime. You'll see a picture of the Steel Samurai.
Yes, simply a picture of the STEEL SAMURAI, and not WILL POWERS.
Although he's the only one who wears the suit usually, anyone could've
been in that suit on the day of the crime.
The back of the photograph will also states:
"[Oct 15. 2:00pm, Photo #2]"
This photo is added to the Court Record.
NOTE: The numbering on this photo is important. You'll know why later.
The day ends. Save your game.
DAY 2: TRIAL
------------
It's time for battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: October 18, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth will call Gumshoe to the stands. Gumshoe will describe the
case briefly to the courts. Nothing that you don't already know of,
but hey, the music is cool here. When asked whether you want to
listen to the case again, just skip it. After this, the Samurai Spear
will be added to the Court Record.
The security lady will be the next to be called to the stands. You'll
finally get to know her full name, and it's Wendy Oldbag. From now
on, I'm going to use her name. Ok, her family name.
OLDBAG'S (OMG!) TESTIMONY 1
--------------------------
She had some errands to run that morning, which was why she only
arrived at the guard station at 1:00pm. She was at the main gate
until 5:00pm. The murder happens at 2:30pm. The only person who
walked passed her at 2:00pm was Will Powers.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------_
When she talks about running some errands, press her about "what
errands". she'll reveal that she was actually "observing Hammer and
Powers" go through the action sequences. Continue to press her next
two sentences until she begins to lose it. When she's at the sentence
where she says "it was Powers!", present the photograph you found at
the computer room - the man she has been accusing all day is actually
the man in this photo, and in no way did this photo have a clear
indication that the man in the costume is Powers.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 2
--------------------
Oldbag adds that during the run-through in the morning, Powers
broke one of the props, and sprained his ankle pretty badly. In the
photo, the Steel Samurai was dragging his leg. This is why she
believes that the man in the costume is Powers.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
----------------------------
Press Oldbag (not literally!) when she talks about Powers tripping
and falling. She'll reveal that she helped make Powers' ankle better
by "kissing it where it hurts". You'll then ask where was Penny when
that happened. Oldbag will reply that Penny was most probably
cleaning the backdrops, and wouldn't have known about Powers' ankle.
Press her again about the broken prop. She'll reveal that what was
broken was Powers' own Samurai Spear. She'll also mention that she
fixed the spear with a duct tape. This detail will be updated to the
spear in Court Record.
When Oldbag talks about Powers' sprained ankle, press her about the
condition of the ankle. She'll reply that it wasn't so bad that he
couldn't walk around, since he was able to go to his dressing room to
rest after lunch.
The judge will then ask a great question:
"Where is this Steel Samurai costume now?"
Amazingly, no one could find it. But Edgeworth will try to smoke the
judge into believing that the missing costume is not important, and
that it must be Powers in that costume.
Object the statement now to once again reiterate that nowhere in the
photo can you see Will Powers.
The judge will concur with you, but Edgeworth has something up his
sleeves.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 3
--------------------
Oldbag insists that the only person she saw going to the studios
before the time of death at 2:30pm was Powers.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
----------------------------
When she says "the only person I saw then was Will Powers", present
the photograph again - on it says "Photo #2", which means that there
should be a "Photo #1". The automatic camera takes a picture of
everyone who passes to the studios. If it says "#2", surely it must
have taken another photograph earlier. This confirms that not one,
but two people went to the studios that day.
Watch her panic, and the regain composure. Get ready for more crap
from the oldbag.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 4
--------------------
She now claims that she'll go through the photos recorded on the
security computer, and throw out any photos that aren't suspicious
looking. She now remembers throwing out one photo that day.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 4
----------------------------
Ask her about the erased photo. She'll reveal that it was one of a
"fanboy". She'll then confirm that this "fanboy" was indeed in the
area afterall, despite her locking the main gate. Remember the drain
at the Employee Area with an opened grate? The fanboy came in through
there. And the fanboy is a kid, probably of 2nd or 3rd grade.
NOTE: This fanboy is an important witness. Remember him.
Watch now as the people around try to "un-suspect" the boy as a
suspect.
The judge will now call for a five-minute break.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 3
Date: October 18, 11:08am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Powers and Maya. The lot of you will decide to push the blame
on someone else so as to buy some time, hopefully to last you guys
for another day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: October 18, 11:13am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch as you claim that there is another person who could've committed
the crime. Now, the judge will warn you that the court will not look
kindky on accusing the innocent, so pick Wendy Oldbag, since she's
the most likely person.
Watch the explanation, then when given a chance to press further, do
it. The result is that Oldbag will become a suspect as well. She'll
then claim that the fanboy could well be a suspect too. When asked why
you disregard the boy, present the keycard - the boy has no formal
relations to the studios, so he couldn't have the key to enter Studio
one.
The judge will suspend proceedings on the current trial for today.
Court adjourned... and then Oldbag will suddenly want to talk! She now
claims that there was something that she was told not
to talk about.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 5
--------------------
Global Studios, her employer, has wanted her to keep quiet about
something. There were actually some other people at the studios on the
day of the murder.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 5
----------------------------
An amazing twist! Ask her who were these other people, and she'll
reveal that the director and the producer were there. The director was
in the Employee Area all morning for the run-through. He joined the
producer around lunchtime and they had a meeting after that in the
Studio Two trailer.
Now, take a break when given the chance. You've asked all the
questions you need to ask. The court will (finally) be adjourned!

Penny is here, She tells you that Oldbag has asked her to fill up the
drain. She has done just that, but it wasn't exactly convincingly done.
She'll then rush off to stand-in for Oldbag at the guard station. Maya
will ask you whether she can rip the grate open. Say yes.
NOTE: If you don't do this, the game will not advance. This is to
allow the fanboy to enter the studio again.

Gumshoe won't be here, so it's your chance to sneak past the small
path with a fallen tree to Studios Two. Examine the monkey (ok, the
mascot) and the fallen tree to confirm that the monkey head and the
tree fell the same day as the day of the murder.
NOTE: The monkey head is an important clue that pinpoints the
identity of the killer down to two people... more about that later.

You'll hear a voice inside the trailer. Before you go to the guard
station to borrow a key to open it, examine the area. Of significance
are:
1. Some flowers on the bottom right of the screen. The fence
surrounding them looks dangerous.
2. The trailer seems to be here for quite a while.
3. A van is on the left screen. Nothing much on this now.
4. An incinerator is covered with soot beside the van.
5. Empty plates on the table suggests that two people ate here. Maya
feels that something is odd here.
NOTE: If you're wondering what's odd, try to remember what were on the
plates you found at the Employee Area.

the stuffing out of her if she knew".

Meet "the great Sal Manella" there. This guy has an array of internet
chatroom jargons. He also happens to be the creator of the Steel
Samurai. Oogling at Maya will trigger his "creative power", and the
idea of "Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo". Try not to
laugh now.
Talk to him, and ask him about the day of the crime. He says that after
the morning run-through, he had a meeting in the Studio Two trailer
from noon till after 4:00pm. The producer and some other bigwigs from
the network were with him.
Now, ask him about the producer, Dee Vasquez. He'll tell you that
she's the one who saved the studios from the brink of destruction.
Ask him about the bigwigs next. He'll reveal that these people include
the boss of the network, some sponsors, and some production guys.
They arrived in a limousine around noon.
Nothing more that you can get from him, so return to the main gate to
try your luck with the key again.

Oldbag returns! Apparently, the police asked her to try out a spare
Steel Samurai costume, but she's too small to fit into it, which
basically rules her out as being the murderer. She'll refuse to talk
to you anymore.
Ask her about the fanboy and the director, et al. if you want, but
you'll get nothing out of her. She won't give you the key too, so
leave.

Go back to the Employee Area now to find the fruit of ripping Penny's
effort to seal the drain. Yes, Cody Hackins, the fanboy, is here.
Talk to him about the case. He'll reveal that he saw everything that
happened. Unfortunately, he won't tell you what. And before you can
get hold of him, he'll escape from where he came from - the drain.
As he made a hurried exit, he'll knock the table and an object will
fall from it - an empty bottle. The label on this bottle says
"Sleeping Pills".
Empty Bottle added to Court Record.

because she's looking for a script. Looks like you'll have to help

She'll start by confirming about the meeting at the trailer at noon

present in the trailer that afternoon went to the trailer, because
it was impossible for them to leave. The broken monkey head blocked
the path from Studio Two to Studio One from 2:15pm, and was only
removed at 4:00pm. During this period, the people at Studio Two were
unable to leave, let alone to go Studio One at 2:30pm to murder
Hammer.

Once you're back at the studios, you'll find Oldbag there again. Looks

about a "hostage" that she can use against Cody. Your chance to get
Cody on your side.
Ask her about the "hostage", and she'll tell you that Cody dropped
something when he was running away from her. When you ask to take a
look at it, she'll blatantly refuse. Now, Mia will mention that there
could be something you can trade with her.
Talk to her about the director, and she'll mention her wish to visit
the place the Hammer died. Remember the cardkey to Studio One that you
found in Powers' bag earlier? Present this to her. Apparently, even
though she's a security guard, she doesn't have direct access to
Studio One. She'll be eternally grateful if you lend the cardkey to
her, and in exchange, she'll pass you the "hostage" - a Steel Samurai
trading card.

stuff. Talk to her to find more revelations - apparently, something
happened recently to Hammer, which helped increase his popularity
after he went through a slump in his career. Penny wasn't sure whether
to tell you about what happened though, so you'll have to go find
the right person, again.
Before you go, however, present the "ultra rare" Steel Samurai card
to Penny. Turns out she's a collector! In fact, she's missing one card
to reach a complete set. The one you're holding is what she's missing.
She'll beg you to trade with her, and hey, she has an "ultra rare
Premium card", which Cody wants.
Why don't you trade with her? Trading is good. I've been trading
gashapons with people all over the world for a few years now.

Back to Cody. Present the URP card to him, and you'll never seen him

Talk to him now. You'll see a 180 degrees change in his attitude.
Talk to him about the Steel Samurai reply "his fighting skills".
He'll pass his personally prepared "Steel Samurai: Path to Glory"
scrap book to Mia, which will be added to the Court Record. This book
records photos of the Steel Samurai's victorious moments during live
performances. Cody mentions that he always takes a picture when the
Steel Samurai lands the final blow.
NOTE: The above paragraph is important evidence. Take note.
Now, ask him what happened. Then, press him about what he saw. He
replies that he arrived at 2:00pm that day. He had to go through the
woods so that Oldbag wouldn't see him. He got lost, and was in there
for about half an hour or so, until he finally reach the studio.
After that, the Steel Samurai killed the bad guy. He got scared and
went home after that."
Now, this statement will definitely put Powers in trouble. As you
discussed with Mia about not putting Cody to the stands, Gumshoe, who
overheard everything, appears. Cody will be "under police protection"
from now.
So, at the end of all these running around, you ended up with no leads
and a serious handicap in court.

The first witness that Edgeworth will call upon is Sal Manella. the
director.
MANELLA'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
Manella was at the studios from around 9:00am that morning. He had a
meeting in the Studio Two trailer, so he ended up skipping lunch.
He was in the meeting until around 4:00pm. During the meeting, he was
pretty sure no one left their chairs.
MANELLA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
Press Manella for the earlier sentences to confirm some facts, but
as he talks about skipping lunch, press him and he'll say that he
ended up eating nothing at all.
Mia asks you don't you find this odd. Say "it's contradictory".
Remember when you were at the trailer entrance, you saw two empty
plates on the table there. Somebody must have eaten lunch there.
Manella will admit that he did eat afterall, and a t-bone steak at
that. According to him, he brought the steak to the trailer, thinking
he could eat it later. They took one break during the meeting, and he
"wolfed it down then".
Now, if they took one break during that meeting, that means his
testimony is contradictory as well, isn't it? So, when he continues
his testimony and says that he's pretty sure no one left their chairs,
press him. He'll stupidly say, no, there was no break.
When given a choice, press harder. He'll then admit that they did take
a break afterall. The indication of this cross-examination is that, if
they did take a break, one of those people in the trailer could have
gone to the studio during that break and killed Hammer.
MANELLA'S TESTIMONY 2
---------------------
Manella now says that even if they took a break, it was only for 15
minutes. Not enough time for someone to, say, commit murder in Studio
One. Just enough time to eat a t-bone steak, he adds.
MANELLA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-----------------------------
When Manenlla says that they took a break, press him and ask what time
did they have the break. He replies, about 2:30pm to 2:45pm. 2:30pm
is the time of death. Interesting. It looks entirely possible, time-
wise, for someone to commit a murder in Studio One and then go back
to Studio Two.
When he says it was only 15 minutes, press him and ask him what was he
doing during that break. He'll reply he was eating his lunch. You'll
then ask about the two empty plates. He'll reply that the other plate
belongs to Vasquez.
Next, when he says that there's not enough time for someone to commit
a murder, press him again. This time, Edgeworth will object, and the
judge will then ask you whether you're suggesting that someone from
Studio Two went to kill Hammer in Studio One on the day of the crime.
Now, you can either say yes, you claim it and claim it loud, or you
can agree it's quite impossible. Both choices will lead to Edgeworth
presenting the monkey head as an evidence. Remember? The head blocked
the path from 2:15pm to 4:00pm. Therefore, when the break commenced at
2:30pm, the path to Studio Two was already blocked.
I'd suggest agreeing that it's impossible, just because selecting you
claim it loud will have Edgeworth attacking you like crazy, and
leading to you being penalized for not doing your homework.
Edgeworth will call for the dismissal of Manella. He'll also claim
that he has found a witness to the crime, whom I believe is Cody. The
judge will then call a recess. Use this chance to take a break.

Mia appears disoriented. She'll also be quite discouraging when she
says that she was wrong with thinking that someone from Studio Two
has done it. But you know Powers is innocent, and you're bound to find
some evidence to prove it soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: october 19, 11:15am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, they're using Cody. Cody's camera will also be added to your
Court Record. It's a new digital camera that he always carry, though
he's still learning how to use it. It's likely that he had it with
him on the day of the crime.
CODY'S TESTIMONY 1
------------------
Cody wanted to see a Steel Samurai rehearsal. He found a map on the
Internet, and went to the studios that day. He went through the
woods, off the path, so that the old lady wouldn't catch him. He got
lost on the way for about 30 minutes. When he arrived at the studio, he
saw the Steel Samurai took down the bad guy! If he had his camera with
him then, he'd have taken a shot. He went after that.
CODY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
--------------------------
I'd suggest pressing him as and when you can. He'll reveal quite a
bit of stuff, like how the monkey's head wasn't busted when he was on
the way to the studio, etc. Present the digital camera has a
contradicting evidence when he says if he had his camera with him
then - he mentioned he carries his camera with him all the time just
a moment before his testimony.
Cody will now admit that he did bring his camera that day, but he
didn't any pictures because he was "busy watching". The judge will now
ask him to testify about what he was busy watching.
CODY'S TESTIMONY 2
------------------
He admits he has the camera with him, but he couldn't get his eyes off
the Steel Samurai taking down his opponents.
CODY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
--------------------------
You'll need to press him for more facts. When he says that the bad guy
stopped moving, press and ask him how did the Steel Samurai take down
his opposite number. Strangely, he wasn't sure. He'll mention a host
of attacks, but not the Samurai Spear. Press him harder to reveal that
Cody may have seen some of the Steel Samurai's fight, but he totally
missed the most important part: the killing blow.
The judge will ask you how could Cody miss the killer blow. Present
the camera once more - Cody was trying to take a picture during the
critical moment, but wasn't familiar with its operation, so while
fidgeting with the camera, he missed the moment.
Cody will admit now that you're right. Mia is also quite sure that
he's hiding more than just this, and she'll ask you to request for
Cody to testify once more.
Welcome to the real world, kid.
CODY'S TESTIMONY 3
------------------
Cody says that when the Steel Samurai escaped from the clutches of
the villain, he held up his camera to take a picture. But the lens
wouldn't open in time, so he missed it.
CODY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
--------------------------
When he says "that's all", press him. It's quite weird that he didn't
take a picture at all, even if he did miss the killer blow. When given
a choice, press him harder and call a bluff by saying he did take a
picture.
He'll admit he did take a picture (what's with kids nowadays?). The
judge will request him to change his testimony, and he'll say:
"I took a few shots, but it was too late, so I erased them."
Remember the "Path to Glory"? The scrap book that Cody gave you?
Present it. Cody specifically said that he always take a shot when the
Steel Samurai lands the final blow earlier when he handed you the boo.
Why'd he erase the shots he took on the day of the crime, when the Steel
Samurai "emerged victorious" again?
When the judge asks you why is that so, answer "the Steel Samurai didn't
win" - it was inconceivable for Cody that the Steel Samurai could be
defeated. However, Cody witnessed the impossible. He saw the Steel
Samurai lose. Yet, to admit what he saw would destroy everything he
believed in. That's why he lied and said the Steel Samurai won. He
couldn't handle the truth.
NOTE: I like this reference to "A Few Good Man". Awesome.
It is now that Cody will break down. Yes, you're right. The Steel
Samurai fell, and then he didn't move. Apparently, you've all made a
serious error here. When Edgeworth asks what's this all about, reply
"Steel Samurai was the victim". The man who was in the Steel Samurai
costume, while being shot by the automatic camera, was Jack Hammer
himself!
Hammer was present at the action run-through that morning. Thus, he
obviously knew about about Will Powers' foot injury. No one saw him
going to Studio One, nor was there a picture of him. The only logical
explanation is that he was in the costume when he went to the studio.
It's now that Cody will reveal that he saved a photo in his digicam
from that day. It basically shows the Steel Samurai at a studio. It
doesn't look decisive, and the judge is about to return it to
Cody...
NOTE: This photo is decisive evidence!
You're now asked to select the contradiction in the photograph. Yes,
when a person is in a photograph, we'll tend to focus on him or her.
But the inconsistency is this photo is not on the Steel Samurai, but
on his surroundings. Take a look on the top right corner of the photo.
Does that look like a "2" to you? Studio Two, not Studio One! Point to
the number and present - Studio One is not the scene of the crime,
Studio Two is.
You'll now need to use the touch screen to select the scene of the
crime. Point to Studio Two and present. This would coincide with the
break time of the ones at Studio Two. That would also render the
monkey-head-blocking-the-path theory useless.
Next, you'll tell the judge that it's very significant that the murder
took place in Studio Two because "the path was blocked" from 2:15pm.
Remember Manella's testimony? He said no one in the trailer was guilty
because they could not have gone to Studio One. Yet, the reverse was
true. Only someone in the trailer could've committed this murder. They
were the only ones with access to the scene of the crime: Studio Two.
Summary:
1. Scene of crime = Studio Two
2. Steel Samurai that Oldbag saw = Jack Hammer
3. Manella and Vasquez were at Studio Two
I think you can now relate.
Edgeworth will ask you whether you've proof to show that the Steel
Samurai in the photo is Hammer, and not Powers. Say you've, and
present the empty bottle that says "Sleeping Pills" - Powers spent the
entire afternoon sleeping on that day, because he was drugged by
Hammer.
Still, the judge will say that there's no proof for your claims. True,
so tell him to fingerprint the bottle. If Hammer did use the drug to,
er, drug Powers, the bottle will have his prints. The bottle will then
be handed over to the judge.
The court will now suspend proceedings on the current trail for
today. The judge will hand you some "homework:
1. Why would Hammer steal the Steel Samurai costume?
2. Who killed him, and why?
Court is now adjourned.

Maya is back. You'll reveal that you've a good idea who did it, but
you're still lacking proof, and motive. Talk to Maya when you get the
chance to fill her on what happened earlier, and she'll suggest you
visit Powers again.

Scene: Detention Center, Visitors' Room
Date: October 19

Ask Powers about Vasquez. He'll tell you things that you've heard
before, about how she is the star of the studio, etc. But he'll also
bring up something unusual, about some rumors, but he's not willing to
share at the moment.
Now, ask him about Manella. He'll mention that Manella will be at her
beck and call of Vasquez, and will do anything she says.
Ask about Hammer next. It'll be revealed that Hammer's popularity
began to take a dip when Vasquez joined Global Studios five years ago.
Time to go back to the studio again.

Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 19
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meet Oldbag there again. She seems to be very quiet today. Ask her
about the producer. It appears that she doesn't really like the
producer, but she was told not to talk about her.
Now, ask about Manella. She mentions that Vasquez treats him like
dirt, but he likes it.
Ask about Hammer next. She'll get really pissed because of what you
revealed in court today. Run!

Gumshoe will be here, examining the plates for traces of sleeping
drugs. Ask him about the plate. He'll do a test right away, and
confirmed that there were sleeping pills on the steak plate. The
plate will be added to the Court Record.
Ask about the investigation next. He's now quite sure that he has no
case against Powers. Talk to him about Edgeworth as well, and find
that Edgeworth had just crushed a paper cup with hot coffee in it.
Heh heh.
Oh, and the bottle of sleeping pills you passed to the judge?
They found Hammer's prints on it. So, yes, the one who put Powers to
sleep as none other than... the victim.
You'll get the sleeping pill bottle back in the Court Record.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Dressing Room
Date: October 19
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to the dressing room to find Penny. Talk to her about Hammer.
She'll mention about a rumor. It seems that Vasquez has some kind of
hold on Hammer, and he'd do anything she said.
According to Penny, about five years ago, they were filming a movie
starring Hammer. They were using Studio Two, which was a new studio
then. Some sort of accident happened during filming. After that, they
never used Studio Two again. They left the film set the way it was,
too.
Now, ask Penny about the last episode of Steel Samurai. Apparently,
Global Studios will not be making kids' shows anymore. Continue
asking her about the studio's policy. It appears that the Steel
Samurai incident has left a bad taste in the mouths of the bigwigs,
and they wanted to forget about all this. You'll then be asked to
present something to Penny to show her that the kids will feel bad if
Steel Samurai is no more. Present the "Path to Glory".
This will lead to a revelation about the accident that happened five
years ago. Ask Penny about it now. It seems that someone died during
that accident, and it was Hammer's fault. Vasquez managed to hush the
issue up, which was why Hammer would do anything that Vasquez said.
Penny also mentioned that Oldbag has more information about the
accident because she was at the studios back then.
Back to the main gate, then.

Ask Oldbag about five years ago, and she'll go berserk (again). She's
still pissed with you claiming that Hammer stole the costume. Show
her the proof - the sleeping pills bottle with Hammer's prints. She'll
then ask you whether you've proof that he used those pills on Powers.
Present the empty plate that showed traces of sleeping pills. She'll
now talk about the accident.
She'll then present a photograph... a photo of the trailer at Studio
Two, of how Hammer accidentally killed his co-actor. Hammer was
supposed to fight with a bad guy on the top of those stairs. He pushed
the other actor, and the man fell onto the flowerbox fence.
This give-year-old photo will be added to your Court Record.
Time to go to the trailer.

Scene: Studio Two Entrance
Date: October 19

You'll find Vasquez here. She's "watching the clouds". Try talking to
her about everything you can talk to, and she won't be bothered, as
usual. Present the five-year-old photo to her, and she'll finally show
some interest. She'll invite you into the trailer to "talk".
If you want, you can also examine the empty plates again. Maya will
have the "odd feeling" once again, but she isn't sure what it's about,
yet.
NOTE: These empty plates are decisive evidences.
======================================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Studio Two Trailer
Date: October 19
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suddenly, Vasquez will be in a mood to talk. She claims that the
Hammer incident that happened five years ago wasn't an accident at
all. Hammer had deliberately killed his co-actor. She deduced that if
it was merely an accident, she'd never have the opportunity to run his
life for five years.
Now, she'll demand that you hand over the five-year-old photo. Check
out those mafia guys with her! She's hell bent on "erasing" both
Maya and you... until Gumshoe stepped in! You'll feel really sorry for
what you've did to him in Episode Two now, really. She'll be taken
back to the precinct by him, and this means you'll have to face her
in court tomorrow.
You're pretty sure now that Dee Vasquez is the murderer. I'm sure you
know the motive now. No? Ok, save your game and read on.
DAY 4 - TRIAL
-------------
Last day of the proceedings. Go for it, Phoenix!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: October 20, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vasquez will be called to the stands. It's time to catch her with her
pants down... so to speak.
VASQUEZ'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
She entered the trailer a little before noon. The meeting began at
12:00pm sharp, and ended at 4:00pm. At 2:30om, they took a 15-minute
break from the meeting. Sal and her ate t-bone steaks on the table in
front of the trailer. They found Hammer's body later, when they went
to Studio One for the rehearsal. She was fatigued then, so she asked
Manella to take her there.
VASQUEZ'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
The judge will help you a little about the "fatigued" statement. It
seems that Manella took her to Studio One by the van at Studio Two.
She explained also that it might be risky to walk with that monkey's
head toppling over. The van will be added into the Court Record.
As usual, if you want, you can press every statement that she said,
and watch the hilarious conversations that unfold, but the one that
you should pay particular attention to is the one when she says she
ate the t-bone steaks. Present the steak plate with the t-bone - she
said she ate the t-bone steak, but as seen on the plate found at the
Employee Area, a large bone was left behind. The plates found outside
the trailer, where Vasquez and Manella claimed they had lunch at,
were totally empty. How can a person eat a t-bone steak and not leave
the bone?
Select how now from the following choices (I simply must show this
because it's funny):
1. You ate the bone, too!
2. You ate a boneless steak!
3. You didn't eat the steak!
Choose "you ate the bone, too!", no, I mean, "you didn't eat the
steak!".
Vasquez took the steak and threw it somewhere, most probably into the
incinerator.
The judge will ask you if she wasn't eating her steak, where was she
during the break. Reply "meeting the Steel Samurai".
Vasquez will welcome your challenge. From now on, it's truly a
battle of wits. Her following testimonies are not easy to break, so
be careful not to present the wrong items lest you get penalised.
She'll bring your attention to the murder weapon again? She asks how
could she, a woman of petite stature, possibly use the spear as a
weapon possibly use the spear as a weapon.
Select "I think you could.".
She'll reply that Hammer was stabbed from the front, which means he
must have noticed the presence of the murderer. She's weaker and
slower than Hammer, and couldn't possibly win such a fight. She also
emphasizes the fact that she didn't have the spear - the photograph of
the Steel Samurai shows that Hammer himself was holding it.
Now, you'll automatically "take back your previous claim", and get
yourself penalised. No choice on this one, but what follows is
important - you'll claim that the Samurai Spear was not the murder
weapon.
NOTE: Webapprentice wrote that you CAN avoid being penalised. Here's
how to do it - when asked how how she possible use the spear as the
weapon, select "You couldn't have." You'll then admit that Dee
couldn't lift the spear easily, but then explains that this is
irrelevant, because the spear is not the murder weapon. You'll then
be asked to explain why.
Present the Samurai Spear - the spear broke during the run-through in
the morning. But Oldbag fixed it with duct tape. With the spear
already weakened, it's impossible for anyone to use the spear to stab
through the thick Steel Samurai costume.
Vasquez will reply and ask you what's the murder weapon then. I think
you should know by now. Remember the five-year-old photo that she
tried to take back from you? Think about why she did that. Select
"I can tell you", then present the five-year-old photo to shock the
court and everything else in it.
The photo shows Hammer's co-actor being killed by the sharp flowers
fencepost. Yes, the fence was the weapon. A mere push from the top of
the stairs would be enough to send someone falling down, and having
his or her chest stabbed like a spear.
More rebuttals from her. This time, she'll argue the fact that the
body was found at Studio One, and in the Evil Magistrate costume.
She wouldn't have time to kill Hammer, dress him up in the costume,
and move his body to Studio One in the space of 15 minutes.
Select "she had another way", and for that matter, there was no need
for her to do the deed in 15 minutes. Present the van now - Vasquez
didn't carried the body to Studio One by hand. She used the studio van
to do it.
And she did it between 4:00pm and 5:00pm - she mentioned that Manella
took her because she was fatigued. It was during this moment that he
drove her to Studio One to dispose the body, and helped her with the
changing of costume on Hammer's body. When asked whether you're
suggesting that Manella was a conspirator, say "of course he was".
In fact, they also disposed the Steel Samurai costume by burning it
in the incinerator outside Trailer Two.
She'll concede defeat, BUT, will not admit to the crime because you've
no decisive proof. Ask her to testify again. Watch now as Edgeworth
helps you out in forcing her to testify. It seems that Edgeworth is
now convinced that she did it, and he'd want her behind bars as much
as you do. He'll ask her to talk about what happened after they
allegedly "found" Hammer's body.
VASQUEZ'S TESTIMONY 2
---------------------
She was with Manella and Oldbag when they found the body. Penny was
there too. Only Powers was absent. She immediately called the police.
Then Powers showed up. Oldbag claimed that Powers did it, and he was
arrested. Vasquez then I went back to the trailer to get her script
and direction notes, and went home after that.
VASQUEZ'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-----------------------------
Press every sentence for more juices, than press even harder for even
more juices if required. When she says she went back to the trailer to
get her script, press her and she'll say she was under the impression
that a rehearsal won't be going on since there was a murder going on,
so she didn't bring her script and note. This is when Edgeworth will
object her on your behalf - she said she didn't bring the script because
there wouldn't be a rehearsal, which means that she'd have had known
about the murder before going to Studio One.
Vasquez will reply that it was because she knew that Hammer was
injured and couldn't do action scenes, which was why she left her
notes behind.
Press this statement and asked her how did she know about the injury.
She appears a little shock, but quickly regained composure by saying
Manella told her about it. Present the photo of Hammer in the Steel
Samurai costume now - it was Powers, not Hammer who was injured!
Now, tell her that she knew Hammer was injured because "she saw Hammer
limping". Watch the explanation that follows.
Vasquez is one persistent killer. She'll argue that she has no motive
to kill Hammer. In fact, since she has been squeezing money out of
Hammer for years, killing him will actually reduce her, er, income.
The judge will concur and ask you whether you know her motive. Well,
of course you do. Let me first ask you: Why did he steal the Steel
Samurai costume? To cover his identity, obviously. And why did he has
to cover his identity? Could it be because he wanted to KILL SOMEONE
WITH THE IDENTITY OF STEEL SAMURAI? Now, with that in mind, why did he
go to Studio Two? Because the person he wanted to kill was there.
Who, at Studio Two, was he most likely to kill? Vasquez, of course,
the woman who has been tormenting him for years! Now consider this:
What if he wasn't successful in the attempt? What if, out of self
defense, Vasquez pushed him down the stairs, leading to his death?
This, my friend, is the truth.
Select "she has no motive", because the person who was out for blood
was Hammer, not her. Then, present the five-year-old photograph when
asked to prove this, to explain the entire situation.
At the end of all this, Vasquez will finally admit defeat, and confess
to the crime. Out of self defense, she has accidentally killed Jack
Hammer. The rest, as revealed earlier, was history.
Yes!

Go through the conversation as usual, and when Powers ask you why did
Hammer frame him for murder, present the Steel Samurai photograph to
tell him that Hammer is jealous. Edgeworth will also appear to reveal
more startling, er, revelation about the past between you and him.
Apparently, you two seem to be good friends during your younger days.
Save the game when you can. Finally! A long episode down the drain!

As the episode begins, watch the cut-scene of two person talking on a
boat. One of them will kill the other. As the scene unfolds, be very
surprised to find that Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth is the killer!

We wish you a Merry Christmas! Let's begin.
Go through the usual conversation to find out a murder that happened
at the Gourd Lake. A suspect has been identified, and he's none other
that Edgeworth. Looks like you'll have to defend him this time round.
NOTE: Also note the news about "Gourdy", supposedly a "monster" that
has recently appeared in that area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth to find out more about the case:
1. The murder took place at Gourd Lake late last night.
2. Edgeworth was at Gourd Lake, which is very far away from his home
and office, because he wanted to see Gourdy.
I think he isn't very truthful with the second one.
Present your attorney's badge to him now. Tell him to let you defend
him. He'll laugh it off and say that you're too inexperienced to
handle a case like this. He specifically asks you to stay out of this
case.
After you present the badge, you can ask him whether did he do it.
He refuses to reveal anything, but once again, he'll ask you to stay
out of this case. He also mentions that no attorney has agreed to
help defend him, yet he doesn't want you.
Go to Gourd Lake Entrance now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Park, Entrance
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As usual, scene of crime = Gumshoe. Talk to him to find out that:
1. The crime happened at about 15 minutes after midnight last night
(which makes it this morning, actually).
2. There was a boat out on Gourd Lake. In that boat were two men. One
of those men shot the other with a pistol. Apparently, the shooter was
Edgeworth.
3. Edgeworth was arrested on the spot.
4. There was a witness to the crime, who called the police.
5. The police are sure that Edgeworth did it, so they're not really
serious in their investigation.
6. The witness's identity is confidential, at the moment. As usual.
Ask him about "defense request". Strangely, Gumshoe will reveal that
Edgeworth has very high regards for you after the Steel Samurai case.
After some talking, someone will tell Gumshoe about an investigation
briefing. Before he leaves, ask him for the autopsy report. Sadly,
it isn't ready yet. Damn those CSIs.
Gumshoe will give you directions to the police station though, so you
can go there to look for him if you need. You'll also gain access to
the park now.

Examine this area. On one of the benches, you'll find a popper. When
Maya asks whether she can take it, agree to it and it'll be added to
the Court Record.
There's a stall selling "Samurai Dogs" here, but it's closed.
There's a also a signpost just beside the tree on the left. It says:
"Left - Boat Docks, Right - Exit".
Go to "Gourd Lake woods".

You'll find someone camping here. Examine the area to find a signpost
that says: "No camping." Strange that people are camping here.
The camera on the left section of this place is a sound-activated
camera. Maya will use the popper to test the camera, and it'll start
taking photographs. This will alert the camper.
NOTE: Popper used and discarded.
Present your badge to her to introduce yourself. She'll give you to
the permission to ask her questions about the case.
Talk to this lady. Her name is Lotta Hart. She's here photographing
meteor showers for a research project. She's a research student at
Country U. She started camping here about three days ago. About the
case, she mentioned she might've seen a boat last night, but she
wasn't sure, since she has been here for a few days, and has seen
many boats.
Ask about the camera. She confirms that the camera is programmed to
pick up loud noises now, and will respond by taking pictures. This
camera will be added to the Court Record.
Present this camera back to Lotta - it responds to loud nosies, and a
pistol shot is a loud noise. Maybe it took a photo? She'll check the
film inside her SUV. Come back later for her.
Make a move to the boat rental shop now if you want, but there isn't
anything there of note, for now. So, go to the CAD instead.

Gumshoe is just out from his meeting. Talk to him. They still can't
ID the victim, unfortunately. But he does have the autopsy report for
you. It says:
Time of death: sometime of the 24th or 25th
Cause of death: one bullet shot to the heart
The photo of the victim will be unveiled now. Strangely, Maya feels
that she has met him somewhere a long time ago. Nothing more about
this now, so don't bother.
Go back to the woods for Lotta.

Lotta's camera took two pictures last night. The first photo shows the
boat with two persons on it. The right person is holding what looks
like a pistol. The distance is too far away to tell who's shooting
who.
NOTE: She didn't show the second photo. Don't worry, you'll get to see
it eventually.
Lotta now claims she saw the murder. Looks like she'll become a witness.
Whether you ask her to tell the cops or not, she'll decide to do so. And
because of that, she'll refuse to tell you what she saw last night. You
can have the photo though.
Go to the beach again now.

A man in Santa's costume appears out of nowhere... oh wait, he's
actually Larry in disguise. Remember Larry? You cleared his name in
your first ever case earlier. He's the guy selling "Samurai Dogs" at the
hotdog stand at the beach.
Talk to Larry about the Samurai Dogs. This will open up a further
conversation about Gourdy the lake monster. Larry will show you a
newspaper article about Gourdy. The article has a picture of something
like a monster's head in the lake. The person who took the picture
mentioned that he heard a sound like an explosion after setting his
camera, followed by the sound of something slipping into the water.
Strange.
Newspaper article added to Court Record.
Ask Larry about what happened last night. This will reveal that
Edgeworth, like Larry, was your classmate in grade school. Talk about
Edgeworth now. It seems that Edgeworth's father was a famous defense
lawyer. Funny how Edgeworth, who aspired to be like his father, became
a prosecuting attorney.
Leave him now and return to the office.

Maya will say that she has a strange feeling about something. She'll
ask for the autopsy report. Then suddenly, she'll remember the who
the victim is. He's a lawyer who worked at Grossberg's office before,
where Mia used to work.
Go to Grossberg's office now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You noticed that the painting of his love is still missing, despite
you taking Redd White to his task. He tells you that since White
didn't exactly steal it from him, he can't take it back.
Now, ask him about the murder last night. He haven't heard about it
at all because he just woke up. Present the autopsy report to him, and
he'll remember that yes, the victim worked in his office before. His
name is Robert Hammond.
Talk about Hammmond, and Grossberg will tell you that Hammond was the
defense attorney of the DL-6 Incident. Yes, Mia's mother's case.
Ask him about the case. It happened 15 years ago. They never caught
the criminal. Misty Fey contacted the spirit of the victim, and her
statement pointed towards a suspect. But Hammond won the case, and the
suspect was declared innocent.
It's also revealed that the DL-6 Incident also has everything to do
with Edgeworth. The victim in the DL-6 Incident was none other than
his father, Gregory Edgeworth. Grossberg will then encourage you to
talk to Edgeworth for more details if you want to know more. He'll
hand you a photo of Misty Fey. This is the same photo you found in his
office during Episode Two, the one which says "DL-6 Incident - Exhibit
A" on its back.
Time to go back to the Detention Center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present Misty Fey's photo, and Edgeworth will say that he didn't
want you to find out about the DL-6 Incident, which was why he refused
your offer to defend him. With you finding out about the incident,
he now feels that he has nothing to hide.
Talk to him about the DL-6 Incident. He confirms that this case
involves his father's death. His father was shot dead, right before
his eyes. A suspect was arrested soon after. It was obvious that he
was the only one who could've done it. Misty Fey confirmed the same
idea. It was then that Robert Hammond cleared the suspect's name.
Now, the DL-6 Incident happend 15 years ago, or, to be exact, on
December 28. The statute of limitations on the case runs out in three
days.
NOTE: The statute of limitations is a limitation of the number of
years that the police can take to apprehend a criminal. Murder happens
to have a limitation of 15 years, which means that, if a murder
suspect manages to evade arrest for more than 15 years, even if it's
only by a minute, he or she can never be charged under the offence,
even if decisive evidence is eventually presented then.
Ask about the suspect. Edgeworth doesn't know where he's now, and
mentions that if he's still alive, he'd be about 50 years old now.
Now ask about his father, but he's not willing to talk about this
issue.
Present Lotta's photo to him now, and he'll tell you that he didn't
kill Hammond. He'll eventually ask you to defend him. Say yes. He'll
give you a letter of request. Bring it to the CAD now... but wait, an
earthquake occurs almost immediately, but subsides after a few
seconds.
Notice that Edgeworth is now curling like a ball on the ground. He
seems to have a really bad fear of earthquakes.
Ok, now go to the CAD.

Talk to Gumshoe. He'll tell you that Lotta claims she saw Edgeworth
fired the pistol. She even had a photograph to prove it. Although the
photo is too small to tell the persons on the boat, Lotta says that
she'll be enlarging it for a clearer view. You'll also get to know
that the mysterious first witness who, er, witnessed the incident, has
decided not to testify after all.
Present Edgeworth's letter of request now. All set and done. Gumshoe
will prepare the documents right away, and you'll be in court the
next day.
Great. First day done.
DAY 2: TRIAL
------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 26, 9:44am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth will inform you that Manfred von Karma will be the
prosecutor today. Apparently he's "the best", and hasn't lost a case
in his 40-year career. He'll do anything to get a guilty verdict. He
also happens to be Edgeworth's mentor.
Anyhow, let's get into court and begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 3
Date: December 26, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe's first to go. He presents a map to explain the case. The
murder happened late Christmas Eve, around midnight. There was a boat
in the very middle of the lake. There were two men on the boat. A
woman happened to be camping on the edge of the lake. At 12:10am, she
heard two pistol shots. Then the boat started to move. It went towards
the boat rental shop.
The Overhead Map that Gumshoe used to present the cap will be added to
the Court Record.
GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
Gumshoe mentions that a man called the police at about 12:30am. They
headed to the scene of crime ASAP, and found Edgeworth there. He
didn't suspect him of anything, but a body was found the next morning
in the lake, so he had to arrest Edgeworth.
GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
I know you'll feel bad doing this, but you'll have to press Gumshoe.
Karma is very, very good though, and he'll object you regularly,
making it hard for you to concentrate.
When Gumshoe mentions about the body, ask whether did he find any
clues on the body. He'll reply that a single bullet was recovered.
The victim was shot through the heart fatally. He'll submit the bullet
as an evidence, and as usual, this goes into your Court Record.
Next, when Gumshoe says he has to arrest Edgeworth, ask him why. He
replies that the found the murder weapon in the boat. He'll present
the pistol as an evidence. This will force him to revise his testimony
too, and he'll now say that the murder weapon found on the boat is
decisive evidence.
Press this sentence, and ask why was it a decisive evidence. He'll
say that there were fingerprints on the pistol. They were prints of
Edgeworth's right hand. The pistol will now go into the Court Record
as well. Strangely, if you look at the description of it in the
record, it says it was "fired three times".
Anyway, Karma will ask whether the bullet found in the victim's body
matches the pistol. Gumshoe will reply that the ballistic markings on
the bullet match the pistol. Watch now as the meaning of "ballistic
markings" is explained.
Karma will now summarise his position: Since the bullet found on the
victim is fired from the pistol, and the pistol bears Edgeworth's
fingerprints, it's obvious that Edgeworth is the murderer.
The judge will almost declare the verdict at this point, but I think
Karma still wants to toy with you, so he'll want to summon Lotta to
the stands. He'll give you a breather though by calling for a break.
And you thought only the judge can grant a recess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 26, 11:09am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth. He confirms that it was him in the boat. But he
urges you to believe him, that he didn't shoot the victim. He heard a
gunshot from very close by, and then the victim fell from the boat.
Edgeworth thought, at that time, that the victim had shot himself.
Then, as Maya finds herself useless and wants to leave, ask her to
stay.
Back to court again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 3
Date: December 26, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lotta takes the stands.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
It was Christmas Eve, after midnight. Lotta was in her car when she
heard a "bang" coming up from the lake. When she looked out, she saw
two gents in a boat. Then, there was another bang. There wasn't
anything else on the lake but that boat.
It's now that Karma interrupts her and asks her to present the photo
as an evidence.
The judge will now say that the evidence presented so far as decisive,
and he has very little doubt about this case. He'll now pass his
decision... until you intervene.
You can cross-examine Lotta now, but if you fail to find anything
contradictory, you'll be held in contempt of court. When Maya asks
you do you think Lotta's testimony is contradictory, say yes.
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
Press Lotta on her statements, and be prepared to get a lot of
objections from Karma. As the cross-examination comes to an end,
you'll still find no contradiction. Karma will force the judge to hold
you for contempt of court. This is where Maya steps in and gives Lotta
a blasting. Lotta will retaliate by saying that she clearly saw
Edgeworth. At the end of the whole commotion, the judge will ask the
guard to escort you out of the courtroom. Now, Karma will rub salt
into wound and ask you isn't it that what stands between Edgeworth and
his conviction merely the passing of the sentence?
Say "no" - Lotta said she clearly saw Edgeworth, but that was not in
the testimony. That changes her testimony, and you've a right to
cross-examine her again. This is when the judge finally shows some
balls, and allow you to cross-examine Lotta again. Maya will have to
leave the court for her outburst though.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
Lotta claims that she saw it as clear as day, that the man on the boat
was Edgeworth.
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Present the photo that Lotta gave you earlier - there was something
that's quite clearly visible in the photo. The fog. This photo was
taken with professional, high quality film, yet even it couldn't
capture the faces of the men on the boat. How could Lotta have seen
Edgeworth cleary from the distance between her car and the boat?
She now adds another testimony.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 3
-------------------
It was a cold and foggy night, so once Lotta finished the setting up
of her camera, she got back into the car. She brought her binoculars
with her. When she heard the noise, she looked with her binoculars.
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
---------------------------
When she talks about bringing her binoculars, press her and ask why
was she bringing a binoculars, when she'd need a telescope to see the
shooting stars she was intending to, er, see. You'll raise a doubt
about her camera too. You'll be asked whether you want to press
further about the camera. Do so. Lotta will testify that the camera
was set up to take pictures of meteor showers.
Present the camera now - if the camera was set up to take of meteor
showers, why was it facing the lake?
Point out to the judge that the camera was set up to "show evidence".
You'll then be required to present an evidence to tell the judge what
was Lotta trying to photograph. Present the newspaper article on
Gourdy - she was trying to take pictures of Gourdy all the while.
Lotta will ask you for proof, Present the camera again - her camera
was set up to take photos in response of loud noises, which was why
the photograph of the boat was taken when a pistol was fired. The
newspaper article mentioned that a loud noise was heard before the
appearance of Gourdy. That's why Lotta set her camera to respond to
loud noises.
Unfortunately, that doesn't change what Lotta claimed that she saw.
You know that's not true though, or Karma wouldn't have try to get
Lotta to cover up about the Gourdy issue.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 4
-------------------
Lotta is not a research student at the university. She's an
investigative photographer. Imagine what a scoop it'd be if she got a
picture of Gourdy. That's why she was camping out by the lake. She
claims that's all she was hiding. When she heard the "bang", she
looked right straight out at that lake. There wasn't much else to look
at, so she just watched the boat the whole time. Then she was a flash,
near one of the men's hand, and she heard another gunshot. She was
looking right at that boat, the whole time.
Karma tries to stop you from cross-examining, but you'll object to
his objection (yay!).
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 4
---------------------------
When she says there wasn't much else to look at, present the newspaper
article - any normal person would've notice the boat, but for Lotta,
who was looking out for Gourdy, a loud bang would surely have her
scanning the lake for any signs of the monster. She wouldn't have
given the boat a second thought.
Moreoever, she testified earlier that she was watching the boat
through binoculars. Well, she wouldn't see binoculars to watch the
boat. She needed them, however, to search for Gourdy.
So, there, she wasn't watching the boat afterall. She'll admit that
she got kinda excited because she has the chance to become a witness
of a murder. This girl wasted the last hour or so of your time playing
this game because she quite like the idea of becoming a witness.
Now, Lotta will say she took the photo and... before Karma steps in
and stop her from talking. Remember Gumshoe told you earlier at the
CAD that Lotta intended to enlarge the photo? Yes, she enlarged the
photo. But why didn't Karma let her show it? The answer is obvious -
the enlarged photo shows something bad for Karma.
Make Lotta show the enlarged photo. Lotta will reveal that Karma told
her not to show the enlargement in court. Aha! She'll show it, and
you'll find that you still can't see who's firing. The enlarged lake
photo will be added to the Court Record.
One thing is for sure though - I hope you discover it - the photo
shows that the person who was firing the pistol was holding it with
his left hand. Remember the fingerprints found on the pistol? It was
of Edgeworth's right hand.
So, when given the chance to show your observation, do it by
"objecting to the enlargement". You'll now be asked to identify the
area of contradiction on the photo. Point to the left hand of the
man who fired the pistol, and present.
Now, present the pistol.
This will lead to Karma asking you who shot the victim. Remember what
Edgeworth told you earlier? Say "the victim himself" - the only
logical explanation is that the victim has committed suicide.
Karma will object to the suggestion of suicide - an examination to the
victim's wound reveals the distance at which he was shot. He was
clearly shot from further than a distance away. Now, that'd rule out
sucide, wouldn't it? This new information will be updated into the
autopsy report.
The judge will decide to suspend the trial so that both Karma and you
can do further investigations. It has been a long day in court, but it
has been all worthwhile. You still live to fight another day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 26, 1:15pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth to finish this mandatory part.
You'll also get Lotta's Deposition into your Court Record - she didn't
see the shooter, so the remaining point of note is about the bang she
heard before the shooting.
Save your game.

Gumshoe is here. Talk to him, and you'll find that Karma will be

call to the police, but didn't testify today.
Find out more about Edgeworth if you want, about why he became a
prosecutor instead of a defense attorney like his father, and why he
was afraid of earthquakes.
Talk to him about Maya now, and he'll promise to go back to the

You'll meet Lotta here. She wants to make it up to you for lying in
court. Talk to her about "making it up", and she'll have a new clue
for you, which Karma didn't want her to tell. She wants a trade with
you though. Accept the deal. You'll now have to find Gourdy, or at
least, evidence that Gourdy doesn't exist at all, to exchange for the
information she has about the case.
Go to the beach now.

When you reach here, you'll find that the beach area has changed.
A large, er, something of the Steel Samurai is there! Larry will be
here as well. Apparently, Larry is using the Steel Samurai to sell his
Samurai Dogs.
Talk to him. He'll reveal that the samurai has always been there, but
his compressor broke some time ago, so he sent it for repairs, which
was why the samurai wasn't here for a while.
NOTE: Take note of this conversation. It'll come in useful later.
Examine the Steel Samurai. Maya says something is wrong about it. She
doesn't say what. Check out the flags here as well.
Now, go to the cAD to look for Gumshoe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department, Criminal Affairs
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Gumshoe about the investigation. He reveals that they're now
discussing about Edgeworth's motive. It looks like Karma will drag
out Edgeworth's past and hit him hard with it tomorrow.
Ask Gumshoe about Gourdy now. You'll tell Gumshoe about the deal with
Lotta. He'll volunteer to help you find the monster by loaning you
one of the police's "secret weapons" for finding evidence.
Ask about the secret weapons, and he'll show them to you:
1. Missile: A K-9 police dog, still in training.
2. Gumshoe's fishing pole: Er, ok.
3. Metal detector: Er, why?
You'll need to choose one. Whatever you borrow will be added to the
Court Record.
If you choose Missile, he'll eat up Larry's hotdogs at the beach.
If you choose the fishing pole, it'll break before you can even do
anything to it when you're at the woods.
So, I'd suggest you choose the metal detector. Go to the boat rental
shop after that.
NOTE: The metal detector, amazingly, proves to be a decisive evidence
in this case!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally, something happens here. The detector will go beeping. Maya
will find an air tank in the bushes. Its valve looks broken. You'll
find that the air tank is surrounded by a string of flags, much like
those found at Larry's hotdogs stall.
The air tank will be added to the Court Record.
Go to the beach again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Public Beach
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present the air tank to Larry. It appears that he knows something
about the tank. Ask him does it belong to him. It's obvious now that
the tank belongs to him, but he'll deny it, and ask you why would he
need an air tank. Reply "to inflate something".
It appears that he used the air tank to inflate the Steel Samurai
balloon (ok, so it's a balloon). He'll reveal that he used the air
tank to inflate the samurai balloon when his compressor broke, but it
didn't go so well.
Ask more about the tank now. It'll be eventually revealed that the
air tank was too powerful for the balloon. The valve busted open and
made an incredible noise, and the tank landed into the lake together
with the balloon.
Now, talk to him about "the flying air tank". He tells you that the
incident happened on the 20th, which is about a week ago. He then
went searching for the balloon every night in a boat, and finally
found it after four days - incidentally, the day he found the balloon
was on the night of the murder.
The mystery of Gourdy is now solved though. Don't get it? Go to the
woods to look for Lotta now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Woods
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tell Lotta that Gourdy doesn't exist. When she asks for proof, present
the air tank - a loud noise went off when the valve broke, and when
the tank and the balloon flew into the lake, a couple was taking a
photograph of the lake as well. The "Gourdy" in the photograph is
actually that of the tank and the balloon.
You'll get your information now. Talk to her for it, and Lotta will
tell you that she overheard the cops around here saying something
about the witness tomorrow. They said he's the caretaker of the boat
rental shop.
She'll also give you another photo. Remember the second photo that
she didn't show you? It was a picture of the lake, and she figured it
wouldn't be of much use, which was why she kept it for herself. This
second photo, which was taken on the 24th at 11:50pm, will be added to
the Court Record.

with his hearing as well. He'll go into sleep after a while. Examine
the place for the following observations:
1. Kitchen unit is clean and tidy. Strange because the old man doesn't
look exactly neat.
2. Polly the parrot... examine it and it'll be added to the Court
Record. Appears to say only "hello", but the old man says she can speak
a lot of things if you know the "secret words".
3. A safe above the TV is locked.
Talk to him now about "Polly", and he tells you that he tells the
parrot everything important. Maya tries to ask for the number to the
locked safe, and Polly replies "1228!". You can't open the safe
though!
Now, present your attorney badge to him. Amazingly, he recognizes
it as a lawyer's badge. He promises to help on one condition, and
that is, after the case is over and done with, you'll run the
imaginary pasta shop he's running!
Lie and say you promise.
Present the enlarged photo now. He claims that he saw something. Ask
what he saw. He replies that he forgot the time, but it was dark
outside. He heard a "bang", so he looked outside. Then he heard
another "bang". A men fell down from the boat. A little while later,
this boat returned. A young man walked by his window here, and he
was muttering something to himself. He forgot what did the young man
said, but he'll "remember tomorrow by court time". Duh.
Before you leave, Maya will ask Polly another question. This time,
Polly replies "don't forget DL-6!".

the DL-6 Incident, he'll open up the DL-6 Incident case file for you.
Present the parrot - the parrot knows about the DL-6 Incident. You're
pretty sure that the old man must have taught her that word. It's
likely that the old man was connected to DL-6.

Maya almost immediately finds the files related to DL-6. Go through
all of them:
1. The Case Summary:
--------------------
December 28, 2001. The incident took place in the elevator of the
district court. There was a large earthquake at 2:00pm on that day.
Part of the court building collapsed, and all of the lights went out.
At the time, three people were trapped in the elevator. It took five
hours for them to be rescued. There was a lack of oxygen in the
elevator, and the survivors were unconscious. One of the three in
the elevator had been shot, in the heart.
It appears that Miles Edgeworth is among the survivors, since he
mentioned that he saw his father shot right in front of his own eyes.
That'd also explain why he was afraid of earthquakes.
2. Victim Data:
---------------
Gregory Edgeworth, 35, defense attorney. If were alive today, he'd be
50. He had lost that day's case in court, and got in the elevator with
his son, Miles. From the angle of the bullet and other evidence, it
couldn't have been a suicide. The murder weapon, a pistol, was found
in the elevator. The pistol had been fired two times.
Does it sound very familiar? It's almost like a carbon copy of the
current case, with only the venues different.
3. Suspect Data:
----------------
Yanni Yogi. A clerk in the court. The third person in the elevator.
He was oxygen deprived, so much so that he had brain damage. He lost
all memory of being in the elevator. After he was declared innocent,
he disappeared.
Ok, let me tell you that I think that Yogi is the old man at the boat
rental shop.
After reading, you'll get to take all the relevant information found
in these three files. I think it's good to list down the contents of
what you took now:
1. Case Summary
---------------
12/28, 2001
Elevator, District Court
Air in elevator was oxygen depleted at time of incident. No clues
found at the scene.
2. Victim Data
--------------
Gregory Edgeworth (Age 35)
Defense attorney. Trapped in elevator returning from a lost trial with
son Miles (Age 9). One bullet found in heart. The murder weapon was
fired twice.
3. Suspect Data
---------------
Yanni Yogi (Age 37)
Court bailiff, trapped with the Edgeworths. Memory loss due to oxygen
deprivation. After his arrest, fiancee Polly Jenkins commits suicide.
Ah, looks like I'm right about the old man.

tomorrow.

Mr. von Karma predicts that today's trial will end three minutes from
when it begins. Ya, right.
Karma will introduce the old man at the boat rental shop. Somehow,
his identity wasn't confirmed. Raise an objection, and the judge will
instruct the old man to state his name. The old man will reply that
he's not sure. Karma then steps in and says that the witness does not
remember anything beyond the last several years. As such, he can't
recall his own name. He can still testify because the current case
happened just a few days ago.
The judge will allow the old man to testify now.
OLD MAN'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
It was the night of the 24th, just after midnight. The old man was in
the boat rental shop. He heard a "bang". When he looked out of the
window, he saw a boat on the lake. Then he heard another "bang". Just
about then the boat comes back to shore, and a man walks by the
window.
Karma will force the judge to pass his verdict without you cross-
examining. The judge will stupidly ask what do you think. Insist on
cross-examining.
OLD MAN'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
Press the old man when he talks about the man by his window. He'll
reveal that it was Edgeworth. Edgeworth was saying: "I can't believe
he's dead." This information will be added to the testimony.
Press and ask whether he's sure. He's dead certain, then he falls and
faints.
Looks like Karma has lured you into a trap. Raise an objection
quickly.
Your objection will be rebutted by Karma, who explains that Edgeworth
could've easily wipe off the prints after he fired.
Raise an objection again - the witness claims that Edgeworth said
"I can't believe he's dead." But if he was telling a lie... no way,
Karma blasts back, and the judge will then pronounced Edgeworth
guilty.
Just when all seems gone, someone just took to the stands. It's Larry!
He mentions that he was at the park on the night of the murder (as
confirmed by an earlier conversation with him about the air tank). He
wasn't sure about the gunshot, but he remembers it today. He heard the
shot. Apparently, Larry was listening to the trial in court earlier,
but realises that something the old man said was different from what he
remembers.
The judge will then give a speech about preventing inaccurate verdict.
He'll rule out his own verdict and give Larry a chance to testify.
Great.
You'll get a five-minute recess now.

Quickly go through the conversations and get back to court.
During this conversation, Edgeworth reveals that when Hammond fell into
the lake, he couldn't understand what happened. He saw the pistol on
the floor of the boat, so he picked it up without thinking.
He also reveals that this could be your chance to turning the tides
in your favor. Karma has always been running perfectly prepared
witnesses and evidences, but a last minute witness like Larry could
really upset his plans.

Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 3
Date: December 27, 10:35am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's get to it.
LARRY'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
On the night of the murder, Larry was out in a boat on the lake. He
was looking for something, and he found it. So he quietly slipped the
boat back in at the rental shop dock. As he was just thinking of
going home he heard a "bang". He looked out over the lake, but didn't
notice the boat. After he heard the single gunshot, he went home.
LARRY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Press him when he says he slipped the boat back and ask what time was
that. He thinks it should be around 12:00am. He wasn't sure though.
When he says he didn't notice the boat, ask him wasn't there a boat on
the lake? He replies that it was really foggy that night, so he wasn't
sure.
Confirm with him whether he only heard one "bang" when he says he went
home. Present Lotta's deposition now - Lotta testified yesteday that
she heard two "bangs". The old man also mentioned the same thing just
earlier. And now, Larry says he's not sure again! He might have
missed the second gunshot because he was listening to his radio on his
headphones.
For all the crap Larry has spouted, the judge will ask whether you
want him to continue. You've no choice, really, so continue.
LARRY'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
Larry was lonely on Christmas Eve, being alone, so he was listening to
an all-requests show on the radio. He was listening to it loud, but he
was sure he heard that gunshot. He remembers exactly what the DJ was
saying when he heard it too.
After a superb objection to Karma, you'll explain why Larry could've
heard the gunshot even when he's listening to his radio at a high
volume. This gives you a chance to cross-examine him again.
LARRY'S CROSS-EXAMINATIOn 2
---------------------------
Press and ask Larry what did the DJ say, when he says that he
remembers what the DJ was saying. Karma objects, and the judge will
say that he'll allow this question if you've reasons why you should
care. Select "we should care".
Larry will testify that the DJ said "Hey, it's almost Christmas!" when
he heard the gunshot.
Present Lotta's deposition again at this statement - the DJ said it's
almost Christmas, which means it wasn't 12:00am yet, when Larry heard
the gunshot. This contradicts both the testimonies of Lotta and the
old man.
Karma will now say that this is simply because Larry was mistaken. The
judge will now ask your opinion. Say "Larry's right". You'll need to
prove why, so present the second lake map - the time stamp on Lotta's
second photo reads "December 24, 11:50pm". There's nothing on the lake
in the photo. Moreover, Lotta's camera set to go off in response to
loud noises. If the camera took a photo at 11:50pm, this means that
there was a loud noise at 11:50pm on the lake, which means the gunshot
that Larry heard was indeed before midnight.
Now, Lotta's camera also set off 15 mintues after midnight, which
means that there were two sets of gunshots that night, with a 25
minute interval between them.
Karma objects again - the camera is set to response to loud noises,
but there's no proof that the loud noise at 11:50pm was a gunshot. The
judge will ask whether you can prove that the loud noise at 11:50pm
was a gunshot.
This is when you should present the pistol - both the witnesses who
testified earlier mentioned two gunshots, but the pistol was fired
three times. When was the last shot fired? It's quite clear now that
the "third shot" was in fact the first shot, the one that Larry heard
just before midnight.
Now, you'll need to explain why there were two sets of gunshots.
You'll suddenly remember the case on the Steel Samurai, and realises
that the murderer in this case had the same idea as the murderer in
that case.
Watch the brilliant explanation now - Hammond was killed during the
first shot, 25 minutes before the shot on the lake. You'll then be
asked to explain who were on the boat that night. Select "Edgeworth
and the murderer" - after the murderer killed Hammond at 11:50pm, he
assumed the identity of Hammond and met Edgeworth.
It's likely that Hammond called Edgeworth to the lake that night.
Edgeworth didn't know Hammond's face that well, which was why he
didn't suspect anything when the murderer took Hammond's place.
The judge will now ask you what's the name of the murderer. Reply
"you don't know", and you don't know because he didn't tell you. The
murderer is the caretaker of the boat shop, the old man. The real
scene of the crime wasn't on a boat, but in the boat rental shop.
When asked to select the real scene of crime on the touch screen,
point to the shop.
Karma objects again. You'll reply by referring to Larry's testimony.
Larry was searching for his balloon that night. He found it, and
returned the boat. Then, just as he's starting to head for home, he
heard the gunshot - even when he was wearing headphones. The gunshot
must be very close to him then, and where would that be if he had just
returned a boat?
Watch now as you explained what you think was the truth:
1. The caretaker shot Hammond at 11:50pm.
2. The caretaker put on Hammond's coat, and got on the boat with Edgeworth,
and went out to the middle of the lake.
The judge now asks who fired the pistol then. Reply "the boat shop
caretaker".
3. The caretaker fired pistol twice. Both shots missed, on purpose.
Karma nows ask when did he fire twice. Reply "to create a witness".
4. The first shot was for anyone who heard the shot to look at the
lake. Lotta did exactly that after hearing the first shot.
5. After the second shot, the caretaker jumped from the boat himself,
leaving the pistol behind him, to create the impression that one men
on the boat shot the other.
6. The caretaker swam back to his shop, and put Hammond's coat back on
the body, then threw the body into the lake.
The judge will instruct the bailiff to bring out the caretaker.
Meanwhile, while waiting, he'll ask Edgeworth a few questions.
Edgeworth will reveal that he received a letter several days ago that
was signed "Robert Hammond", requesting him to meet at the boat shop
by the lake at midnight on Christmas Eve, stating that he has
something important to discuss with him.
It's now that the bailiff appears and informs the judge that the
caretaker has disappeared.
A search warrant will be issued for his arrest. Meanwhile, the court
will adjorn since the judge can't declare a verdict under these
circumstances. He'll extend the trial until tomorrow.
Hopefully, the police can catch the caretaker. In the mean time, you
live to fight yet another day.

Edgeworth tells you that something has been bothering you for some
time, and he doesn't know whether to tell you. He tells you about a
nightmare he's having, about a memory of a crime that he committed.
Before he says anything, the chapter ends.
DAY 3 - INVESTIGATION

"A memory of murder."
That was what Edgeworth said.
Meanwhile, Larry visits. Talk to him to finally reveal why you
became a defense attorney - something you never told Mia when she
asked.
NOTE: The talk is not exactly important, but it's a nice touch of
story-telling. I won't spoil it for you though. Watch it yourself
when you play the game.
Your Court Record will now be cleaned up. Things like the newspaper
article on Gourdy and Lotta's deposition will be discarded.
Go to the detention center now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 27
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth to find out that he became a prosecutor because he
doesn't want to defend criminals. He also reveals that Yanni Yogi
wasn't apprehended because Hammond argued that he hadn't been "of
sound mind" due to oxygen deprivation. He also tells you more about
von Karma.
Go to Gourd Lake entrance now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Park, Entrance
Date: December 27
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find Gumshoe here. He'll run off to find the caretaker, but
he'll tell you that no one will be allowed in the woods today.
Apparently, no one is allowed to camp there, but Lotta did, and the
ranger of the park found out, so he's stopping anyone from going in
now. Looks like Lotta will be in a lotta trouble.
Go the beach then.

Surprisingly, you'll find Grossberg here. He says that if you need any
assistance, you can go to his office. Then he disappears quickly.
Head to the caretaker's shack now - remember that locked safe? With
the caretaker gone, it's the perfect opportunity to open it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Caretaker's Shack
Date: December 27
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examine the safe to open it. The only thing in here is a letter. It
has no names on it, and is written in precise, clear letters:
"Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth.
This is your last chance. Now is your time to get revenge on the two
men who ruined your life..."
(The rest of the letter describes the murder plot in detail - killing
Hammond, framing Edgeworth, etc.)
So it seems that the caretaker was merely following instructions? Who
could've written the letter?
Get this letter into the Court Record, then go back to Edgeworth at
the detention center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 27
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present the letter to him, and discuss about it:
1. Two men: Hammond and Edgeworth?
2. Last chance: Statute of limitations on the DL-6 Incident?
Edgeworth then suspects that the old man is Yanni Yogi. Talk to him
about Yogi. He'll tell you how Yogi was found innocent. This will
also open up a conversation about Edgeworth's nightmare. Talk to him
about it as well.
He has been having the same dream almost every night, for 15 years.
It's a dream about the possibility that he actually killed his father
instead.
Now, go to Grossberg. He asked you to, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: December 27
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grossberg tells you that it's likely that Edgeworth really killed his
father. Talk to him about Gregory Edgeworth, and he reveals that
Gregory is very disapproving of von Karma's techniques. Gregory tried
to call attention to von Karma's techniques, but died before he could
do so.
Talk about the spirit medium, and Grossberg says perhaps the person
who lied was Gregory's ghost, because he didn't want to implicate his
son.
NOTE: Seriously, a load of bullshit.
Present the letter from the caretaker's safe to Grossberg, and find
out a possibility about why Hammond was also killed. Then, he
suddenly remembers that he has seen the handwriting on this letter
before. When he asks you who could've written this, select "Manfred
von Karma".
You're right! Now, talk to him about von Karma. You'll find out about
a case between Gregory Edgeworth and Manfred von Karma. Ask about it.
Grossberg replies that von Karma won, but Gregory accused him of
faulty evidence, and though he lost the trial, the accusation stood.
Karma was penalised, and this was the only penalty that he has
received in his career as a prosecutor. This ruins his obsession on
perfection. He took a vacation after that, which was unusual.
Grossberg then offers to help check the police files for you.
Go to the CAD now.

Surprisingly, von Karma isn't here. Notice, however, that a drawer on
the right is opened. Examine it. It says "Unsolved Cases: Evidence".
You also find that the file for DL-6 is completely empty. It must be
that son of a... von Karma.
It's now that he appears. Talk to him if you want. You'll get nothing
much out of it, only things that you already know.
Present the letter from the safe to him now, and he'll freely admit
that he wrote the letter. He'll then attack Maya and you with a stun
gun, and remove the letter from you. During the melee, Maya managed to
grab an evidence from the DL-6 Incident from von Karma. A bullet, to be
exact:
"Evidence No. 7 - Taken from the heart of Gregory Edgeworth."
This ends the day for you. Save the game.

Date: December 28, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, the identity of Yogi hasn't exactly been revealed to the court,
so he's still just the old man/ caretaker to them. Remember that
you'll need to first prove his identity.
YOGI'S TESTIMONY 1
------------------
Yogi says he's sorry to leave the court yesterday. He left because he
went to buy some food for Polly, his parrot. He figured he has got
nothing to do with this case anyhow. He'd need a motive, and he
doesn't have one. So, his testimony yesterday stands as is.
YOGI's CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
--------------------------
Press his statements a few times, then when he says he has got nothing
to do with the case, press again. This will eventually to the judge
asking you is it really important to confirm whether Yogi has lost
his memory. You'll reply yes, because Yogi is lying. The judge will
ask you who Yogi really is. Say "Yanni Yogi".
Karma will then ask you to prove it. You'll ask the judge to take
Yogi's fingerprints. Karma then replies that the witness has no
fingerprints! Apparently, Yogi used to work in a chemical plant, and
he burnt his fingers then.
Karma will now sarcastically suggest that you cross-examine the
parrot. Amazingly, you say yes! The most unlikely witness in court
history! When asked whether you really want to do it, say yes, let
the parrot take the stands.
POLLY'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
"Hello! Hello! *Squawk!*"
Certainly the most concise testimony you've heard so far.
POLLY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
Press the only statement, then ask Maya to ask Polly a question.
Now, you remember that Polly actually responded to the question
"have we forgotten something" by saying "don't forget DL-6!", but
somehow, if you ask this question, she won't respond the same way
anymore. Perhaps Karma retrained her?
Get Maya to ask Polly what's her name, and she'll reply "Pol-ly!
Pol-ly!" The judge will then ask has this anything to do with her
owner's identity. Say "of course!"
You'll be asked to prove it. Present the DL-6 case file, then select
Select "Suspect Data" - remember on this page, it states that Yogi's
finacee, Polly Jenkins, committed suicide after he was arrested? This
is the link between "Polly" and "Yogi".
One more piece of evidence is needed to fully convince the judge
though.
Get Maya to ask Polly about the safe number. She replies "1228! 1228!"
as usual. The judge will ask you whether this number has something to
do with the caretaker. Say "it does".
You'll be asked to prove it. Present the DL-6 case file again, then
select "Case Summary" - the date on it is 12/28.
The judge will concur that two coincidences at the same time seems
like a pattern to him. He'll summon the caretaker once again.
Cross-Examination of Polly the Parrot: SUCCESS! :)
This time round, Yogi will admit that he's, er, Yogi. In fact, he
looks totally different now. This is the real Yogi. He'll also admit
to killing Hammond, and framing Edgeworth for it. He reveals the plan
to kill Hammond and Edgeworth was sent to him in a package with a
letter and a pistol. He'll eventually be arrested.
Edgeworth will be declared innocent by Karma, for this case. But as
the judge declares him not guilty, he goes and object the judge! In
fact, he now confesses to the murder of his father in the DL-6
Incident!
Karma then takes the opportunity to suggest a trial for the DL-6
Incident, right here, right now. The judge will call for a recess to
think about Karma's proposal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 28, 2:24pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Edgeworth gets ready to be arrested, you assured everyone that
you're now ready to prove that he's innocent, that he didn't kill
his father. The truth, as you mentioned, is quite clearly shown in
the Court Record. I hope you see it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 3
Date: December 28, 2:30pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So it begins, the case of 15 years ago can finally come to its end.
EDGEWORTH'S TESTIMONY 1
-----------------------
We all know about the earthquake and getting into the elevator, so
we can skip that. Edgeworth then continues that Yogi and his father
started arguing. He then felt something at his feet, so he picked it
up and threw it at Yogi to stop them from fighting. A moment later,
there was a single gunshot, then a scream - a scream that he
remembers until today.
EDGEWORTH'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-------------------------------
When Edgeworth first mentions about the single gunshot, present the
DL-6 case file, then select "Victim Data" - this page says that the
murder weapon was fired twice. The first shot was the accidental
firing when the pistol was thrown by Edgeworth. Who fired the second
shot?
Karma objects, and the judge will now ask you whether you've proof that
the weapon was indeed fired twice on the day. Say "yes", then present
the DL-6 Incident photo. The judge then stupidly asks you how does
the photo prove that two shots were fired, even though it was clear
as daylight.
Point to the bullet hole on the elevator door - this is the shot
that misfired from Edgeworth's throw. The shot on Gregory's body is
the second shot, the killer shot.
Now, Karma will object again, and will refer you to the DL-6 Incident
case file again. It mentions on the "Case Summary" page that "not a
single clue was found on the scene". Now, if the pistol had indeed
fired two shots, where was the other bullet? Because it's "unlikely"
for the police to miss this other bullet, the judge will discount
your defense.
He'll now be ready to declare the guilty verdict now. He'll ask
whether you've anything to add. Raise an objection, and get totally
tongue-tied.
It's now that Mia returns. She tells you that the second bullet
must have exist, but someone took it. This is what you'll tell the
judge.
After some exchanges, the judge will then ask you is there really a
need for him to search for the bullet. Reply "the murderer didn't
need it". Mia comes in again. She asks you to "think crazy", to
"think why the bullet HAD to be taken away" - yes, what if the
murderer has no choice but to take the bullet away? For example, in
a situation like, he was shot?
You'll tell the judge that the murderer HAD to take that bullet, as
he was shot. Since Edgeworth and Yogi were both unharmed, this leaves
the possibility of someone from outside the elevator being the
murderer.
Maya then remembers what Grossberg told you yesterday, that after
being penalised for falty evidences, Karma took a long break. Why'd
he do that? What if... just what if, he was taking the time off to
heal a wound... the wound caused by a bullet shot?
This could mean that Karma is the murderer! He has the motive. He was
near the scene of crime. He also have the motive to kill Edgeworth
since he hated the Edgeworths. He could even have taken Edgeworth
as his student only to plan for this day!
The judge now asks you to give the name of your suspect. Say it, say
it now.
Karma will obviously deny it. In fact, he'll eagerly suggest to get
his doctor to testify in court. Edgeworth then tells you that it's
useless to do so, since Karma will never subject himself to a weakness
that's so easy to engage. The likelihood is that the bullet is still
in his body!
Now, Karma will saracastically challenge you to prove that he was
shot. Select "show evidence", and present the test-and-trusted metal
detector! The only way to find out whether Karma has a bullet inside
him is to use the metal detector on him.
He'll vehemently refuse, but the judge will be on your side. The
detector will go beeping on his right shoulder.
NOTE: Amazing, isn't it? Gumshoe's detector saves the day!
Karma won't give up though, and will claim that the bullet was already
there before the DL-6 Incident. He'll then asks you whether you can
prove that the bullet in Karma's body was shot on the same day as the
DL-6 Incident.
Present the DL-6 bullet to nail him - the bullet was preserved nicely,
with all the ballistic markings intact. Remember ballistic markings?
It was mentioned two days ago in the trial. They're fingerprints of a
weapon. All bullets fired from a gun are marked with that weapon's
unique pattern. By examining the markings, you can tell which weapon
fired the bullet. If the ballistic markings on this bullet is the same
as the ones found on Karma's shoulders, it'll prove that they're
fired from the same gun.
It's now that Karma lets out a scream - the scream that has been
haunting Edgeworth for 15 years. After Edgeworth threw the gun, it
misfired. The bullet pierced through the elevator door and hit Karma,
who just happened to be standing outside, on his right shoulder. He
let out a scream before the door opened. When it did, Karma saw that
the Edgeworths and Yogi were already fainted. He felt it was his
destiny - his hatred for Gregory Edgeworth, who ruined his otherwise
perfect record, prompted him to shoot.
This, is the truth.
Watch Karma bangs his head on the wall and laugh, if you want. The
toughest case you've encountered so far has finally drawn its curtains.

in the records room, remember?
She's much happier after that, but she still wants to continue her

DAY 1: INVESTIGATION
--------------------
Watch the cut-scene for a series of strange events happening. This
ends when you begin the chapter with a monologue. It has been two
months since Maya left. It has also been two months since you were
involved in any trial, until a girl showed up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Wright and Co. Law Offices
Date: February 22, 10:02am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girl mentions something about her sister's trial being tomorrow.
You aren't exactly interested in taking up any cases now, but the
manner of this girl reminds you of Maya, so you eventually gave in.
She introduces herself as Ema Skye. She's a "scientific investigator",
whatever that is. Talk to her and find out more about her if you
want, then proceed to ask her about scientific investigation. She'll
mention something about a new way to solve crimes, scientifically.
Now, ask about the case.
Apparently, Ema's sister was arrested for stabbing someone with a
knife. A witness claimed to see her do it. Ema is sure that her sister
didn't do it though.
When she arrives at your office, she was looking for Mia, so ask her
about her relation with Mia. It appears that Mia was Ema's sister's
junior in school. Ema also mentions that she doesn't really like her
sister "now", and that her parents were killed in a car accident.
Soap opera stuff.
Go to the detention center now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: February 22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ema's sister isn't a very friendly person though. She also seems to
know you by name, since she heard a lot about you from Mia. She
introduces herself as Lana, and she's the chief prosecutor for the
district.
You begin to wonder: Two sisters, one a lawyer. Such a coincidence
with case two.
Talk to Lana. She mentions she has confessed to the crime, but will
still tell you about the case. The murder happened on February 21, at
5:15pm - the timing was specific because of the witness's deposition.
A witness clearly saw her committing the crime, which happened in
the underground parking lot of the prosecutor's office. The body was
found in the trunk of her subordinate's car. She was arrested on the
spot.
The victim of the case is police detective. Death was due to a loss
of blood, resulting from a single stab wound in the stomach. Death
wasn't immediate, but the wound was fatal. Since the victim was a
detective, the police department will consider it a matter of pride to
apprehend Lana, at any means.
Talk to her about herself, and she'll reveal a wound on her right
hand, apparently sustained in the process of murdering the victim.
At the end of the conversation, she'll still request you to take up
her case, for the sake of appeasing Ema, but she tells you not to
lose too much sleep since she intends to admit her crime in court
anyway.

Scene: Prosecutor's Office, Underground Parking Lot
Date: February 22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man in a sheriff outfit appears here. You know from Ema that his
name is Marshall, and he's a detective. Then, after spouting a lot of
crap, he disappears.
Examine the area now for the following observations:
1. A wallet can be found on the floor, just in front of the door. This
will be added to the Court Record.
Ema now teaches you "scientific investigation". Follow her instructions
to learn this new trick, which utilises the capabilities of the DS.
The wallet has an ID card that says: "Detective Bruce Goodman, ID #
5842189". This ID replaces the wallet in the Court Record.
2. Check out the security room at the top left corner as well. It's on
the second level, and you can see everything from there. You'll come
back to this room later.
3. A door right in front of you is locked. Remember this door, as
it'll help you counter a witness's testimony later.
4. To the right of the door is an emergency phone. It's out of order.
5. To the right of the emergency phone is a six feet high partition.
Now, scroll to the right screen of the parking lot to find a car.
Examine the car, only to be halted by Marshall. This will help you gain
access to the High Prosecutor's office.
After listening to Marshall talks a lot of crap again, you'll be back
at the left screen of the parking lot. Notice now you've no access to
the right screen anymore. This is also when a sexily dressed lady
appears.
In a bizarre turn of events, the newly debuted lady happens to be
selling lunch. After talking to her, you realised she also happens to
be the witness to the murder. She introduces herself as Angel Star.
Talk to her, and she'll tell you that there was some sort of a
prosecutor's convention yesterday. She also mentions that a prosecutor
was named "King of Prosecutors" during the convention, and it was in
his car that they found the body. It appears that she a thing against
prosecutors.
Ask her to tell you more about herself, and she'll reply that she
sells lunch here everyday. Her boyfriend works in the security room.
Now, ask about what she saw. She claims that she saw the exact moment
of the crime. She also seems to know Lana by name.
Ask her now about her hostility towards prosecutors. You suspect she
may be involved in some criminal activities before.
Go to the High Prosecutor's office now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: High Prosecutor's Office, Room 1202
Date: February 22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ema immediately notices some sort of a shield-like trophy with a "K"
insignia. Just when she was passing her comments about it, Edgeworth
appears. Turns out Ema is Edgeworth's "fan". So, this is actually
his office! It also happens that the body of the victim in this case
was found in his car. What a coincidence.
Talk to Edgeworth about himself to watch a flashback. He also mentions
something about that shield.
Now, ask about the case. It seems that he'd be the prosecutor for
this case.
Ask about Lana, and you'll learn that the victim was stabbed with
Edgeworth's knife. The knife was kept in the toolbox in the trunk of
his car.
Edgeworth's knife will be added to the Court Record. It has traces of
the victim's blood, and has no prints. Do the "scientific
investigation" if you want on it.
Examine the office now:
1. The trophy with the "K" insignia is the trophy for the "King of
Prosecutors" award.
This will be added to the Court Record.
2. The bouquet of flowers at the back of the room has a card that
says "Back from the Dead. - Wendy". A steel samurai figure just beside
he flowers has something written on the bottom of his foot, it says
"Between a rock and a hard place. - Wendy".
Present the Prosecutor Trophy to Edgeworth now. He'll complain about
how time-wasting receiving the award is. He also mentions that
yesterday was a very busy day at the office.
Ask him about the day of the crime now. It appears that yesterday was
the annual cleaning day at the prosecutor's office. Watch him explain
about cleaning day - a day when prosecutors and policemen sort and
file all evidences for solved cases, a process called "evidence
transferal". A ceremony was also held up the police department, where
there was an annual review and awards for outstanding police officers
and prosecutors.
He also mentions that he was at the police department yesterday
(obviously), and only returned here at 5:12pm. This is confirmed by
a parking stub he received. Do the scientific investigation to see
this: "Miles Edgeworth - 17:12". It seems that the murder took place
three minutes after he parked his car.
Parking stub added to the Court Record.
This is when a police officer rushes in. He's looking for Edgeworth.
He's here to deliver a report to Edgeworth at the police chief's
request. It seems that he wasn't delivering something that Edgeworth
wanted, and Edgeworth will give him a tongue-lashing. It's also
revealed that the officer's name is Meekins.
Edgeworth will now ask you to leave. He suggests that you visit the
police department for more information if you want.
So, go to the police department's entrance now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department Entrance
Date: February 22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It takes you 30 minutes to reach here by taxi, and the traffic wasn't
that bad. You'll notice some sort of an automated greeting machine at
the entrance, which looks decidedly disturbing. You realises that it's
the "Blue Badger", who's on his way to becoming the police's mascot.
Meanwhile, you notice someone dancing beside the Blue Badger... or
wait, it's Detective Gumshoe! As usual, talk to him. He reveals that
Lana has confessed to summoning the victim to her office, then killing
him.
You'll also find that Gumshoe has been kicked out of the CAD. Because
of this high profile case, lower ranking officers like Gumshoe are
not allowed to enter into the CAD, which is why he was so free to
dance with the Blue Badger. This seems a little odd.
Gumshoe also reveals that Officer Marshall was assigned to the
parking lot - you've met him already, while the chief of police is
in charge of the investigation.
Present Goodman's ID to him, and this will open up an opportunity to
talk about Goodman. It's a little strange that his ID was found on
the ground at the parking lot. Apparently, Goodman was involved in an
evidence transferal yesterday. But, he should be at the police
department doing this, instead of appearing at the prosecutor's
office.
Present the "K" trophy now, and this will open up an opportunity to
talk about the rumors at the law office. Ask about these rumors.
Apparently, after the last case, people around are all spreading evil
rumors about Edgeworth. The current murder has started a new rumor,
which says that the only reason he took the case is because he's
aiming for Lana's position.
Now, examine the Blue Badger, which calls up another conversation
with Gumshoe. Amazingly, he reveals that he made the Blue Badger.
It's battery-powered, and can go anywhere. But since it's running on
batteries, it'll dance until the batteries go flat.
The Blue Badger added to the Court Record.
Gumshow will also give you a letter of introduction, so that you
can show it to Marshall at the parking lot.
Go to the parking lot now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Prosecutor's Office, Underground Parking Lot
Date: February 22
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Angel appears again, and mentions she has a boyfriend in criminal
affairs as well. Er, ok. Now present Gumshoe's letter when you see
Marshall. He'll now allow you to examine the crime scene. It's
strange, however, that a patrolman is in-charge of the case. Isn't a
crime scene usually in charge by detectives?
Talk to him now about the victim, and you'll get the autopsy report.
Check it to find the following details:
Name of deceased: Bruce Goodman (36)/ Male
Date and time of death: February 21, between 4:00pm and 5:30pm
Cause of death: Loss of blood from chest wound.
Assessment: Wound was caused by a 12cm knife. A single stab wound was
found.
Marshall also tells you that Goodman and Lana only worked on a case
before a few years back, and are not closely related. So, there seems
to be no motive.
Now, talk to him about himself, and ask why a patrolman like him is
in charge of the crime scene of such a high profile case. He reveals
that he used to be a detective until two years ago. He also mentions
that the police are short-handed, which was why he was assigned.
Short-handed? How about Gumshoe, who has nothing to do?
Now, head to the right screen to finally be able to examine the stuff
here:
1. A cellphone is found on the ground. Check it out when given a
choice to.
This will bring out a cool scene of "evidence self-selection". Rotate
the phone till you can examine the side of it. This will open the cover
of the phone. The display button is still on the redial button.
Now, examine the blue redial button on the phone. You'll now make a
redial. Amazingly, a phone rang to the tune of the Steel Samurai theme
song just as you made the call. Seems like someone is calling Ema's
phone at the same time. Before you can get through to the other party,
however, you're interrupted by Marshall. He reveals that the phone
belongs to Lana.
You can now add the phone to your Court Record. It states that the
last call was made at 5:18pm on the day of murder.
2. The trunk of Edgeworth's car has a note. It says "6-7S 12/2". The
top right corner has a printed name which says "Goodman". It looks
"somewhat" like this badly drawn diagram:
--------------
| Goodman |
| |
| 6-7S |
| |
| 12/2 |
| |
| |
--------------
Victim's note added to Court Record.
Now, talk to Marshall about Lana, and it seems that he and Lana used
to "have a past".
Ask about "office atmosphere" now. He reveals that of the rumors
about Edgeworth's fixing evidences, etc., all these can be traced to
one source - Lana. It seems that Gumshoe is also taken off the case
because he was close to Edgeworth.
Now, go through the conversation with Ema, and you'll find out that
at 5:18pm, after the time of crime, Lana actually called Ema, which
was why Ema's phone rang just now. Ema reveals that Lana hung up right
away after she called.
This information is now updated to the cell phone in your Court
Record.
End of Day 1. Save your game now.
DAY 2 - TRIAL FORMER
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: February 23, 9:34am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation. You realise this is the first case you're
doing with a Fey helping you. Well, at least you've Ema.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 9
Date: February 23, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth calls Angel to the stands. Apparently, until two years ago,
Angel was a special investigator with the police. She was a first-rate
homicide detective. "Cough-up Queen Angel Starr" was her nickname.
Because of her unique status, she's given the chance to do the
detective's summary that Gumshoe usually does.
Angel uses the map of the parking lot to describe the crime. The lot
at the prosecutor's office is divided into two blocks. "A Block" is
for the prosecutor's office personnel. "B Block" is for visitors and
clients. A chain divider separates the two blocks. The crime took
place by a car in the back of "A Block", in the car's trunk. The
killer stabbed the victim with a knife and went to drive the body out.
Unfortunately for her, there was a witness, and an arrest was made on
the spot. The witness was, of course, Angel herself.
Parking lot floor plans added to the Court Record.
ANGEL'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
She mentions that she always knew that a day like this would come. She
was on her way to deliver a lunchbox to her boyfriend, when she sensed
something. Through a wire fence, she saw Lana standing next to a
garish car. She was holding a knife in her right hand. Then, she
thrusted the knife into Goodman's chest.
ANGEL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
Press the first sentence. It seems she's also not a fan of
prosecutors. In fact, she hints that Goodman was killed because he
"knew too much". She also reveals that she was fired from her job
because of prosecutors.
Press the sentence about delivering a lunchbox to her boyfriend to
confirm that it's the security guard boyfriend, not, er, "that"
boyfriend of "the other" boyfriend. She also confirms that the
security room is in "A Block". As you've examined earlier, the room is
on the second level, and you can see everything from there. She also
reveals that she parks in "B Block" when she delivers lunch.
When she mentions about the wire fence, press, and she confirms that
she was less than 30 feet when she was Lana, so she was certain it was
her.
She also presents a photograph now. It shows Lana just behind
Edgeworth's car, having her left hand on the trunk, and her right hand
in the pocket of her trenchcoat. Angel says that at the moment she
witnessed the crime, her reflexes took over, and she took a picture.
Crime photo added to Court Record.
When Angel says that Lana was holding a knife in her right hand,
present the photo that Angel just presented - in this, which Angel
took "at the moment she witnessed the crime", Lana wasn't holding a
knife.
Edgeworth objects, and says that the photo wasn't taken after the
stabbing. If you look at the photo carefully, you should notice some
stains on Lana's coat. Although the photo is black and white, the
stains could well be blood splatters.
When given a choice, raise an objection. Angel merely apologises for
the confusion because she may be "slightly unclear".
Back to the photo. It shows that Lana was wearing gloves, so it seems
that the murder was premeditated. The judge will ask Angel to add this
into her testimony.
Now, as with all previous cases, whenever a new statement is added to
the testimony, you should be able to get something out of it. Angel
claims that the crime is premedidated, so you'll want to prove her
otherwise to earn some points for Lana. present Edgeworth's knife when
Angel says this statement - if the murder is premedidated, why didn't
Lana bring her own knife?
Just when you think you've turned the tide, Edgeworth will tell you
that whether the crime is premedidated or not, it doesn't remove the
fact that Lana killed the victim.
Time for round two.
ANGEL'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
Angel isn't giving up. She still wants to prove that Lana has intended
to kill Goodman. That's why she called the victim to the prosecutor's
office. She's sure Lana had a grudge against Goodman. She also
mentions that Lana stabbed the victim again and again.
ANGEL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
The contradiction is obvious for this one. When she says Lana stabbed
the victim again and again, present the autopsy report - a single
wound was stated in the report.
This is when Angel says that she mistook something for blood. It seems
that when Lana lifted her knife, Angel thought she saw blood at her
breasts, presumably splattered from the victim. Which is why she
thought Lana must have stabbed Goodman at least twice.
The judge will ask her to testify what she saw that made her thought
it was blood. She now testifies that Lana's red muffler looked like
blood to her.
Present the photo that Angel took on this statement - the photo shows
that Lana wasn't wearing any muffler. Angel then says that it was
there, something red, and she doesn't look like lying.
Anyhow, round three.
ANGEL'S TESTIMONY 3
-------------------
Angel says that Lana tried to run behind a partition off to her side.
Angel then quickly arrested Lana on the spot. It was then that Lana
mentioned about the muffler, which "confused" Angel. Lana tried to
escape, but "resistance is futile".
ANGEL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
---------------------------
When she says she quickly arrested Lana, press her for more details.
It seems that between Angel and Lana, there was a chain link fence.
Angel claims she went over the fence to arrest Lana, but that means
she couldn't have gotten to Lana as quickly as she claimed, especially
when the fence was about nine feet high.
Press about the muffler statement. It seems Lana wasn't exactly
talking to Angel when she said "muffler". She was talking on the
phone. Ask further. Apparently, Lana first attempted to use the phone
hanging on the wall, but the phone was out of order.
The cell phone in the Court Record is now updated with the new info
about "muffler". Meanwhile, Lana's attempt to use the phone on the
wall was added to the testimony.
Press this statement now. Angel will use the floor plans to explain.
Lana ran behind the partition, and picked up the emergency phone on
the wall. The phone was out of order, so she pulled out her own cell
phone out of her pocket. It was during this time that Angel climbed
over the fence and arrested Lana. It was then that Lana hung her
phone.
Now, present the floor plans on this sentence - from where Angel
claims she was, she'd never be able to see Lana using the emergency
phone, because she'd be blocked by a 6 feet high partition. It's also
revealed that Edgeworth and Lana were responsible for kicking Angel
out of the force two years ago.
As you claim that Angel is lying, Edgeworth will now ask you exactly
what lie did she tell the court. Select "where she was it".
Now, you'll have to show on the floor plans where did Angel actually
see the Lana using the emergencu phone. Point to the security room,
then present - she was delivering lunch to her boyfriend, it's
understandable that she has to be at some point in the security room.
Moreover, the security room is the only place where she could have an
view of the entire parking lot.
Now, when asked what difference does it make for Angel to see the
crime from the security room or from "B Block", select "distance to
the crime" - it'll be revealed that if Angel was to run towards Lana
after she saw the crime, she wouldn't be able to use the shortest
route available, because it was blocked by a locked door. She'd have
to make a detour to reach "B Block", before climbing over the fence to
get to Lana - a process that'd take about five minutes.
Watch through the conversation, then raise an objection when asked to
- five minutes are more than enough for any criminal to flee the
scene.
The judge will now agree that Angel has a personal grudge against
Lana, and will want to adjourn the court for further investigations.
This is when Angel fights back with one more testimony. She claims
she has decisive evidence.
ANGEL'S TESTIMONY 4
-------------------
SHe mentions that she should have mentioned the five minute blank.
But now, she presents the victim's shoe. Two types of blood was found
on the shoe. One was the victim's. The other was Lana's. This shoe is
the decisive evidence.
Edgeworth objects to the evidence on grounds that it wasn't approved,
but Angel fights back with the reply that she had the shoe tested by
a forensics team from the police, so it was approved.
Victim's shoe added to Court Record.
Examine the shoe now to find that there's blood traces at the bottom
of the shoe as well. This is an important clue.
ANGEL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
---------------------------
Press about the blood test when she says that one of the types of
blood found on the shoe belongs to Lana - it's impossible narrow a
blood sample down to an individual. Angel then says the forensics team
was in no doubt that the blood belongs to Lana, so she didn't proceed
with the DNA test.
Now, when she says the shoe is decisive evidence, press. This is when
Ema asks do you have a problem with the shoe. You'll now have to
agree whether there is, select "there's a problem".
The judge will ask you to point out where the problem is. Point to the
blood stains at the bottom of the shoe and present.
Edgeworth now asks what is contradictory about this. Present the crime
photo - if the bottom of the victim's shoe is covered in blood, isn't
it strange that no bloody footprints were found at the scene of crime?
So, why aren't there footprints?
Edgeworth now brings us back to Angel's testimony about apprenhending
Lana, about how Lana knocked down some oil drums. Edgeworth asks
whether the oil drums are empty. Angel replies that the oil drums are
brimming with water.
Edgeworth then explains that the reason Lana knocked down the oil
drums was to wash the footprints away.
As the judge prepares to declare the guilty verdict now that you've
no ammos, Ema says that Angel could be lying about the water since
she's on the prosecution's side. Angel then interrupts the judge -
she doesn't like to be associated with the prosecutors!
This is when she presents yet another photo, one that shows the
victim's body in the trunk. Ema quickly asks you to look at the
asphalt in the photo - it's clearly wet. So it seems the water theory
is true afterall.
As you prepare to give up, Mia contacts you again. She tells you not
to throw in the towel regardless of whether the asphalt is wet or not.
She asks you to take a good look at the photograph. There's a clear
contradiction there.
You'll object the judge as he prepares to declare the verdict again.
You'll talk about the last photo. The judge will ask you what's the
problem with the photo. Point to the car's exhaust pipe present -
Edgeworth now observes that something is poking out of the car's
muffler, and he explains that "muffler" can also be used to explain
as the pipe of a car's exhaust system.
The thing sticking out of the car's muffler appears to be a piece of
cloth. The judge will ask you why this muffler is important to the
case. Present Lana's cell phone - the word "muffler" was overheard
when Lana was using this phone. If the "muffler" that Lana mentioned
is the car's muffler, then this piece of cloth is vital evidence.
The judge will now give a 30-minute recess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: February 23, 11:56am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation with Ema and Marshall. Marshall brings up
the issue on "mufflers" again, and it seems he's quite adamant that he
saw Lana wearing a red muffler on the day of the crime. This
contradicts Angel's crime photo, but Marshall has no reason to lie to
you. Where did the muffler go then?
You'll get the answer when you return to the court for the afternoon
session of the trial.
DAY 2 - TRIAL LATTER
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 9
Date: February 23, 12:32pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This session introduces the district chief of police, Damon Gant.
He brings over the red muffler that belongs to Lana, and predictably,
it was found stuck in the car's, er, muffler. Gant also presents a
switchblade knife in the process.
Watch Gant embarrasses Edgeworth, then take over when Gant hands over
the switchblade to you. Watch the cool "evidence self-selection"
again, and you'll go into the scientific investigation screen. Rotate
the blade until you can see a small tag on it, then examine the tag.
The tag says: "SL-9 2". Does it look familiar to you?
Now, point to the trigger and examine it. This will trigger the
blade. The tip of the blade is broken off. There's also a dark red
stain on the tip. This blade is found wrapped in Lana's muffler when
the muffler was found in the exhaust pipe.
Switchblade knife added to the Court Record.
The judge will then ask Gant to testify, since Edgeworth isn't very
happy with the police force for failing to find such an important
piece of evidence at the crime scene.
GANT'S TESTIMONY 1
------------------
Gant says that the switchblade knife is special, even though he isn't
sure how - unless there's evidence to prove a connection between this
knife and Goodman. He also mentions that the day of the crime was a
bad day for them, because a detective was killed at the police
department. The time that the detective was killed was 5:15pm.
Uncanny, huh? But since it's not officially linked to this case, he
doesn't want to talk about it.
GANT'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
--------------------------
Two murders, same time, same date, different places - what're the
odds?
Anyway, when Gant says unless there's evidence to prove a connection,
present the victim's note - yes, it says "6-7S 12/2", but if you look
at it upside, it actually says "2/21 SL-9"! Now, isn't "SL-9" the
same as what's written on the switchblade's tag? When Goodman was
writing this note, he was holding the paper upside down, which misled
your early attempt to read it.
Gant now reveals that the switchblade was evidence in a case. It was
stolen from the department's evidence room.
Press this statement. Gant reveals that the switchblade was stolen on
the day of the current murder. Edgeworth probes further to find out
that it's also a murder weapon in another case that has been solved
long ago.
When Gant mentions about a detective being killed at the police
department, press him. He reveals that they've just arrested the
suspect for the police department murder case. But, as it is, there's
still a lot of unanswered questions. He asks for your help. You agree
on the condition that he gives you the relevant data.
Now, he'll only give you one information. Select "how the victim was
killed". He replies "stabbing", which is exactly the same as Lana's
case. He'll mention that there're more similarities between the two
cases, but he won't tell you what, for now. You'll need to press
harder.
NOTE: You don't actually need to do this step, but there's no harm
learning more about the case.
Go back to the same statement and press again. This time, ask him
"where was the victim found". Gant can't tell you where the body was
found, but he reveals that the crime took place in the evidence room
at the police department. This is the connection between the two
cases: police department murder took place in evidence room <--->
switchblade found wrapped in Lana's muffler while being slotted into
Edgeworth's car's exhaust pipe was stolen from evidence room.
Looks like you've gotten yourself another case to fight!
Now, when Gant says there's no connection between the cases, press
him. You'll now tell him the connection. This will cause Gant to
reveal more information. He mentions that he'll cooperate, but he
can't reveal the name of the victim.
Press this statement now. You'll be given a choice of what you can
get out of him. Ask for the victim's division, and he'll tell you
the victim's department is Criminal Affairs, Division 1 - the
detectives responsbile for homicide cases. Hmm, Goodman was in
homicide as well.
Press the same statement again. Now, ask for the victim's gender.
It's a guy.
NOTE: Again, you don't need to do the previous two steps, but if you
want to know about the victim, you should.
Now, same statement again, press for the victim's ID number. He tells
you it's "5842189". Now, isn't this the same as Goodman's ID number???
The judge will now ask whether the ID number tells you anything.
Select "that tells me something!". Next, present Goodman's ID - the
two ID numbers are identical! In other words, the detective who was
killed in the police department's evidence room was Goodman as well!
"Two" Bruce Goodman, "both" killed at the same time, but at different
places? How's that possible?
It's Gant's show now. Remember Meekins, the patrolman who tried to
deliver a report to Edgeworth yesterday, but got a tongue-lashing
instead? Well, he was delivering this information. It was Edgeworth
who brushed this information aside without even looking.
Now, since the evidence wasn't accepted by Edgeworth, it can only be
accepted, according to the evidence law, when it's proven to have a
connection with the current case. Gant used you!
Now, if Goodman was already killed in the evidence room, he couldn't
have been killed at the parking lot. Still, both Edgeworth and you
will need to gather more clues. The judge will therefore grant one
further day for this trial.
Finally, the trial is over for the day, but the day isn't over yet.
DAY 2 - INVESTIGATION
---------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Wright and Co. Law Offices
Date: February 23, 2:15pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation as usual.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Prosecutor's Office, Underground Parking Lot
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to the parking lot. Ema presents a luminol testing fluid, you
know, those stuff you find in CSI to test for blood in an already
cleaned-up area? Ok, Ema teaches you how to spray the fluid. She
also lends you a pair of infra-red glasses. Just follow her
instructions and start spraying the fluid behind the trunk.
A few drop of blood stains appear. Ema now asks whether you find the
stains a little odd. Select "the amount of blood". If the killer and
the victim fought here, there should be more blood than merely a few
drops. Remember the blood on the bottom of the victim's shoe? There
was a large splatter of blood as well. Where did the blood go to?
Anyhow, where you found the blood stains will be updated to the floor
plans of the parking lot in your Court Record. The luminol testing
fluid also goes into the record.
NOTE: If you go to Edgeworth's office to spray some luminol fluid,
you'll find some blood stains on the ground. I'm not sure about the
signifance of this.
Angel appears again right after that. Talk to her now about today's
trial. She insists that even though she lied about the venue where
she saw the crime, the fact remains that she saw the crime.
Talk about her detective past next. She mentions it was two years ago.
Regardless of how harded the criminal, when they faced her, they
"coughed it up". Ah, that's how "Cough-up Queen" comes about. She'll
continue to talk until she mentions about the SL-9 Incident - she was
fired after that case.
Present the victim's note to her. She'll automatically sees the
switchblade too. She reveals that Goodman was the head detective on
the SL-9 case. The switchblade was the murder weapon, as earlier
discussed, and it was due for evidence transferal on the day that
Goodman was killed. SL-9 isn't over.
Present Goodman's ID and the crime photo next. This will eventually
open up an opportunity to talk about the SL-9 case. Ask about it.
The SL-9 case was the biggest case Angel has ever handled. The police
and the prosecutors were desperate for decisive evidence. Goodman,
Marhsal and herself were involved in the case, and the criminal was
caught and executed. The only problem was that decisive evidence was
never ever found - the criminal was apprehended based on fabricated
evidence by the prosectors. Every detective involved with the case
was dealt with a few months later. Some were demoted to patrolemn,
some found themselves out of the force.
Ask about Marshall now. She mentions they investigated the case from
every angle. Marshall was very determined, but it was over before
they could even get into it, and Marshall was demoted. There was a
hidden side to SL-9, and they're still determined to find that out.
She's only selling lunch here because she can meet up with people
who can help her investigate.
She gives you a steak lunch at the end of the conversation. This is
excellent in putting Marshal linto a good mood. Steak lunch added to
Court Record!
Go to the police department entrance now.

Scene: Police Department Entrance

You'll find new openings to go to here. Go to the security guard
office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Evidence Room Entrance, Guard Room
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The security office actually guards the evidence room. Since the
evidence room is the crime scene here, you may want to check it out
for clues. But before that, check out this surprisingly unguarded
guard room. The only thing of note though are the monitors at the far
side of the room video feeds from the evidence room. They're now in
"recording".
The evidence room is locked. You'll need to get someone's permission
to go in.
Go back to the entrance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department Entrance
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find Gumshoe here. He tells you that they've caught the
criminal for the police department murder case. All they need now
is evidence. He tells you if you want to talk to this suspect, go
down to the detention center.
So, go to the detention center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What? Officer Meekins is the suspect?
Talk to him. He had some business, so he went to the evidence room.
The guard office was empty that day. The security officer who was in
charge of the guard office, as you may have already suspect judging by
how it looks when you were there earlier, is Marshall. Meekins happened
to glance at the security monitor, that's when he saw a suspicious
looking person in the evidence room. After that, he blacked out (?).
When he woke up, he was already in the detention center.
You'll also notice a bandage on his left hand. He mentions that when
Goodman pointed the knife at him, he just hollered. The next thing
he knew, he was unconscious. When he opened his eyes, he was alone in
the evidence room (huh?). Alone, because Goodman has disappeared. He
then saw gushing blood from his hand.
Ask about the victim, and he says he doesn't know Goodman well. He
also has no intention, nor any recollection of killing Goodman.
Now, present Goodman's ID to him. He'll suddenly remember what
happened. He says that the card was the cause of it all. This will
open up the opportunity to talk about the crime details. Do so.
Meekins didn't know Goodman, who was in the evidence room, which is
why he "looked suspicious". He entered the room, and asked Goodman to
show his ID card. That was when Goodman pointed a knife at him.
Now, ask about the reason for arrest. Ema will do a deduction. Meekins
didn't know Goodman, and the "victim" whom he met at the evidence room
didn't show his ID card. In other words, you've no way of knowing if
the victim was really the victim. If the body simply "disappeared"
from the evidence room, you won't even know if anyone actually died.
Yet, Meekins was arrested because the police told him that "it had to
be him". Goodman was "definitely in the evidence room", according to
the police.
Meekins now mentions about a video tape from the security camera.
Whatever happened there and then should be captured on tape.
Go to the CAD now.

Scene: Police Department, Crimincal Affairs

You'll find Gant here. Talk to him to find more about Edgeworth.
It seems like Edgeworth may be disciplinary dealt with for his
mistake. Talk to him about the evidence room incident if you want,
but nothing much comes out from it.
Now, examine the head detective, who's sitting right in the middle of
the room. At the end of the conversation, he'll give you a lost item
report that was half completed by Goodman. It looks (somewhat) like
this:
--------------------------------
| |
| -- Lost Item Report -- |
| Date: 2/21 |
| -------------------------- |
| | Date Lost | 2/21 | |

--------------------------------
This will be added to your Court Record.
Talk to Gant again. You'll now see a request to ask for permission to
use the evidence room. Ask him for it, and he'll give you a guest ID
card to access the room. This card will be added to your Court Record.
Go to the evidence room entrance now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Evidence Room Entrance, Guard Room
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examine the door now, but you'll find that you can't enter because the
card reader is turned off. Enters Marshall to solve this problem. You
can now enter the evidence room, but before you do that, you may want
to talk to Marshall about the case. He isn't very helpful, so present
the steak lunch to him, and he'll tell you everything.
Ask about the guard office. He tells you that he has lost his fire
for the job after being demoted two years ago, which was why he wasn't
at his post when Meekins came over to the guard room. At 5:15pm that
day, he reckons he was "galloping down the highway on the back of his
steed, Zippy". He also mentions that the security camera system is
more than enough to keep an eye of the area.
Ask about the security camera system, and he'll reveal that if nothing
happens, the tapes are automatically erased every few hours. Also, when
you enter the evidence room, the card reader will leave a record of
every ID card that passed through. You'll now see a record for the day
of the crime:
February 21
-----------
7777777 4:20pm
8730579 4:40pm
4989596 4:50pm
5842189 5:14pm Bruce Goodman
4989596 5:14pm
Present Goodman's ID to Marshall, and he'll re-examine the evidence
room entrance record. Looks like the 4th number on it matches Goodman's
ID perfectly. This ID card record will be added to the Court Record.
Now ask him about himself, and he mentions that he can't let go of
the SL-9 case. But the case is officially dead two days ago - after
the evidence of it was transferred.
Ask more about the transferal. He replies that they keep only evidence
from solved cases in this room. They're kepy here under the presiding
detective's superivsion for two years, so that they can re-investigate
them if it turns out there was a mistake. After the years, the evidence
will be buried forever in the underground vault at the police station.
They do a transferal every February.
You can go to the evidence room now. Before you go in, you may want to
spray some fluid on the top of the cactus for some blood stains.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Evidence Room, Sector Three
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find Gumshoe here, He'll immediately give you the floor plans
of the evidence room. It appears that the room is L-shaped.
Talk to him, and you'll find out that every detective has a locker in
here. Also, every locker in this romm is fixed so that only one
detective can open it. The lock for each locker is coded with a
fingerprint, to match the print of each detective. These lockers will
be added to the Court Record. Note that a light on them indicates
opened lockers.
Talk to him about Edgeworth, and it seems Edgeworth was also involved
in the SL-9 Incident. Present the victim's note to him, and he'll
tell you that the SL-9 Incident was Edgeworth's first big case, two
years ago. This will also open up an opportunity to ask about the
case, do so.
Gumshoe says that the SL-9 Incident was a bloody, violent case. It's
a serial killing case. The killer apparently made a mistake, which
Edgeworth capitalised on to nab him. This was the case that put
Edgeworth into the spotlight, and also the one that started the rumors
about him fabricating evidence.
The evidence of this case was supposed to clean up during the
transferal. It was also the last case that Goodman worked on. Since
Goodman is trasferring the evidence on the day of crime, it's likely
that the switchblade knife was taken out from the locker himself.
Present the ID card record to Gumshoe now, and watch his reaction to
the second ID number - it belongs to Edgeworth! Which means that at
4:40pm, Edgeworth was in the evidence room. Why?
Anyhow, the ID card record will be updated with Edgeworth's name on
the second record:
February 21
-----------
7777777 4:20pm
8730579 4:40pm Miles Edgeworth
4989596 4:50pm
5842189 5:14pm Bruce Goodman
4989596 5:14pm
Now, examine the room. The first thing to do is to immediately spray
some luminol fluid. If you do so on the top left locker, you'll get
a blood rection - that of half a handprint. There's no reason for
the killer to touch this locker when he escapes. The floor plans of
the evidence room will now be updated with the blood spot.
Examine the room now:
1. The top left locker box has some evidence tucked out of it.
2. The pile of junk on the left consists of a car door and a pair of
handcuffs.
3. The pile of junk on the right consists of Gumshoe's fishing pole
and the metal detector from the earlier case. There's also a radio-
locator here.
Go to the right screen now to examine:
1. A saw and some paint are found at the bottom right of the screen.
It looks like the ingredients to produce the Blue Badger!
2. A locker is opened at the far end. It's coded with Goodman's
fingerprint. Unfortunately, it's empty. The police must have taken
the contents away for investigation.
3. A glove is near to Goodman's locker. The glove happens to be an
evidence from the SL-9 Incident.
4. Big pieces of fragments are found near the blockage. These,
according to Gumshoe, are the evidence from the SL-9 Incident. If
you examine the tag on the glove closely, you'll see "SL-9 11".
Check these pieces out. There's a total of eight pieces. You'll need
to glue them back to a base to form an evidence. The instructions for
doing this:
1. Fragment no. 5: Rotate clockwise once, combine.
2. Fragment no. 4: Rotate counter-clockwise once, combine.
3. Fragment no. 6: Rotate clockwise once, combine.
4. Fragment no. 1: Rotate counter-clockwise twice, combine.
5. Fragment no. 8: Rotate counter-clockwise once, combine.
6. Fragment no. 3: Rotate clockwise once, combine.
7. Fragment no. 2: Rotate counter-clockwise once, combine.
8. Fragment no. 7: Rotate counter-clockwise once, combine.
You'll find that the evidence is an unstable jar. It's also missing a
piece.
Unstable jar added to Court Record.
Examine the jar to find some blood on it - perhaps the blood from the
victim(s) of the SL-9 Incident. You'll also find that the jar is
bottomless.
5. The top right locker of the columns of lockers facing you has a
worn, bloody handprint here. This is when Ema prompts you to use the
luminol fluid.
When you spray the fluid on the locker, it reveals a right handprint
clearly. Gumshoe also adds that the locker belongs to him!
Spray some fluid at the area where you found the broken fragments.
A massive amount of blood is revealed. Looks like something really
happened in front of the locker.
You've more or less gotten all you need here. Gumshoe reminds you that
Edgeworth's inquiry committee should be letting out soon, so he's
rushing off to check out the result.
Go to Edgeworth's office now. As you pass by the parking lot, spray
some fluid on the emergency phone for some blood stains too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: High Prosecutor's Office, Room 1202
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amazingly, the bellboy from the Gatewater Hotel is here! You'll soon
see Edgeworth though. He doesn't seem to be in the mood. Talk to him
anyway, and he'll reveal that he was given a warning.
Ask about tomorrow's trial, and he'll reveal that the authorities have
given control of the investigation over to the police. Any further
investigation for this case will be directed by Gant.
Present the ID card record to him now. He'll reveal that it was Gant
who asked him to go to the evidence room on the day of the crime.
Apparently, Gant wanted evidence for a case that was wrapped up half a
year ago. He wanted Edgeworth to keep it here in the prosecuter's
office. He refuses to dilvuge any information about this case, but
you'll make a note of this evidence, which is a screwdriver, into the
Court Record.
If you examine the tag on the screwdriver, it say s"AI-16". It looks
totally unrelated, but Ema says this could turn out to be the clue
that solves the case. She could be right, you know. Remember the metal
detetor earlier? :)
Now, present the swithblade knife. This will result in Edgeworth
deciding to tell you the "truth". Talk to him now about "allegations
of forgery". He reveals that the SL-9 Incident was a serial killing
case. The head of investigation was the deputy chief of police that
time - Gant. Edgeworth also hints that he used some extreme measures
because they were dealing with a vicious murderer, and if he let the
suspect go, blood would be on his hands. However, he was adamant that
he didn't touch the evidence. At the end, they won the guilty verdict,
and the killer was executed.
After the talk, Edgeworth will relay a message from Lana to Ema.
Lana wants to know whether Ema is still working on scientific
investigation. Ema says yes, and he'll pass you the aluminium powder
for taking fingerprints. He also passes you a file that consists of
the fingerprints of all involved.
The fingerprinting set will be added to your Court Record. This
recovers fingerprints from handprints for comparison with fingerprint
file.
Looks like it's time to go back to the evidence room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Evidence Room, Sector Three
Date: February 23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follow the instructions to investigate the handprint on Gumshoe's
locker. Point to the thumb as it's the clearest of the five fingers on
the handprint.
NOTE: Spray the powder liberally, or you may know to get the print.
Unfortunately, it seems that the person who left this print behind
is wearing gloves, because the result you'll get doesn't look like a
print all. Thankfully, there're other prints outside the bloody
handprint. Select any of the faint fingerprints just below the hand-
print and repeat the process.
This time, you'll get a print so clear, it's dazzling! This will also
bring up the fingerprint data from Edgeworth. Now, since the bloody
handprint and this fingerprint are found on different places, it's
likely that it has got nothing to do with the case at all. Ema now
asks you to deduce whose print this is most likely to belong to.
This will call up a "compare" screen. Select Gumshoe, since he's the
owner of this locker, and press "compare". It's a perfect match!
Now, if you rememberm there's another handprint in this room - the one
you found as soon as you stepped into this room for the first time?
Go to that locker, examine the area with the luminol reaction, and do
the fingerprinting process when asked to.
This isn't easy. Firstly, because the prints are wiped away, you won't
get an easy print. Secondly, the only area that the game allows you to
examine are not on the handprint. Instead select the area just beside
the middle finger, and spray the powder.
Surprisingly, the result of the print reveals that the handprint
belongs to Marshall! This result will be added to the Court Record.
This looks like decisive evidence to you.
End of a very long day. Save your game.
DAY 3 - TRIAL FORMER
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: February 24, 9:41am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation with Ema and Lana. Apparently she gets a
plea bargain with the police - as long as she tells the truth, they
won't seek capital punishment.
Get ready for war, again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 9
Date: February 24, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This trial focuses more on the police department. The so-called
murderer, Meekins, will be called to the stands!
Amazingly, Meekins begin to confess to the crime before he even gives
his testimony. Edgeworth brushes him aside and asks him to provide a
crime report, which makes up his first testimony.
MEEKINS' TESTIMONY 1
--------------------
Meekins was assigned to guard the evidence room that day, even though
it wasn't his normal duty. He spotted a suspicious man on the security
screen, and rushed into the room. He was only doing what he was
trained to do. He was suddenly attacked. He fought for his life, then,
he did it. After that, he passed out, until another office smacked him
awake.
MEEKINS' CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
----------------------------
Press the first sentence. Meekins reveal that he was in charge of
guarding the Blue Badger. He was to ensure that it wasn't broken
during the evidence transferal process. As there were many people
around that day, he decided to move the Blue Badger to the evidence
room. This was why he was there.
Press the second sentence. This will allow you to update your ID card
record to:
February 21
-----------
7777777 4:20pm
8730579 4:40pm Miles Edgeworth
4989596 4:50pm Mike Meekins
5842189 5:14pm Bruce Goodman
4989596 5:14pm Mike Meekins
You may've noticed this on your own earlier, but yes, Meekins' ID card
was shown as being used twice. Meekins replies that at 4:50pm, he
entered the evidence room to "relocate" the Blue Badger. At 5:14pm, it
was when he went to get the Blue Badger back after everything has
settled down. It was during the second time that he spotted the man on
the security screen.
Press the next sentence. He'll reveal that he was attacked by a knife.
He also mentions that when he "charged" into the room, the man was as
surprised as he was. To counter the knife, Meekins claims he swung his
arms like an octopus while trying to detain the man. That's how he got
a gash on his hand. When he saw the blood trickling down his arm, he
panicked, and grabbed the man by the collar.
Press the next statement again. He replies that when the man let his
guard down for an instant, he snatched the knife from him. In fact, he
spun him around and performerd a disarming maneuver. The next thing he
knew, the man's white coat was drenched with a sea of Meekins' blood.
The man then punched him in the face.
Press yet the next statement, and it'll be revealed by Edgeworth that
Meekins woke up at about 5:30pm. Meekins then returned the Blue Badger
to the entrance. Note that the Blue Badger was in the evidence room
during the so called "murder in the evidence room".
All these pressing are done to get more information from Meekins. Once
this is done, Edgeworth will question whether this "man" in the room
is really Goodman. It's now that Meekins presents a videotape from
Gant. It contains footage from the security camera in the evidence
room.
View the video now. Amazingly, there wasn't at all a clear shot of
the man's face. It's either blocked by the Blue Badger or by the
camera swinging elsewhere just when his face was about to be unveiled.
An extremely funny video. Note, however, that when it begins, the
locker with Marshall's fingerprint didn't have something tucked out of
it.
Videotape added to Court Record.
MEEKINS' TESTIMONY 2
--------------------
The man's face can't be clearly seen in the video, but Meekins was
sure that the man was Goodman. He opened the locker, which required
Goodman's fingerprint to do so. It was Goodman's locker, so it must
be him, since no one else could have unlocked it.
MEEKINS' CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
----------------------------
When Meekins says that the locker requires Goodman's fingerprint to
open, present the video tape. You believe that there's a contradiction
in the video that could possibly mean that the man in the room isn't
Goodman. You'll now need to point out where is this contradiction.
When the video is played again, wait the screen shows Goodman's
locker - notice the light on it? Pause, and point to this light and
present - remember what Gumshoe told you about these lockers? This
light is already lit before the man opened it, so it means that the
locker was already opened!
The judge will then ask whether you've an explanation. You'll consult
Ema, and she'll half-heartedly suggest that perhaps something jammed
the sensor. You then feel that there's some other clues in the video.
You can now inspect the video once more.
Now, wait until the man open the locker. When a white thing drops out
of it, point to the white thing and present - it looks like something
was inserted between the sensor and the door. However, to be able to
do so, this thing must be extremely thin, and yet be an insulator.
You do have something like that in your Court Record - the thin rubber
glove!
Present it when asked to. It has a tag that says "SL-9 Incident", so
it must be from Goodman's locker. With the glove in between the sensor
and the door, anyone could've open Goodman's locker that day.
You've now established that the man in the evidence room may not be
Goodman. You'll need more to confirm this though, so go through
Meekins' next testimony.
MEEKINS' TESTIMONY 3
--------------------
Meekins mentions another thing that proves that the man was Goodman.
To enter the evidence room, one must use an ID card. When an ID card is
used, there's a record of it. At the time of the crime, Goodman has
used the card.
Before you cross-examine, Edgeworth will reveal that this evidence
room was reserved for evidence of "special cases" that involve
extremely violent cases that involve police staff. There were only a
few cases up for transferal on the day of the crime, and most were
cleared by noon.
MEEKINS' CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
----------------------------
When Meekins says "when an ID card is used...", press. This will alert
the judge about Edgeworth's "appearance" on the record.
NOw, when he says that at the time of the crime, Goodman has used the
card, present Goodman's ID - you found this card at the parking lot.
You'll also automatically present the lost item report that you got
from the head detective. It shows that Goodman has lost something on
the day of the crime. Could it be his ID card that he lost?
Your conclusion? The man whom Meekins saw in the evidence room wasn't
Goodman afterall, but rather, the man who stole the card.
Now, whatever you've proven will lead to Edgeworth coming to this
conclusion: the murder at the evidence didn't exsist at 5:15pm at the
police department on the day of the crime. The real crime, therefore,
could only have happened at the parking lot.
Raise an objection when given the chance to - the video didn't show
the actual murder, but it can't be said that it's unrelated to the
murder at the parking lot. Notably, a large amount of blood traces
were found in the evidence room. You'll now demand for more
examination, but Edgeworth, who believes that the two cases are
unrelated, doesn't have any witnesses. This is your chance to call
Marshall to the stands. Select Marshall from the profiles screen and
present.
The judge will now call for a 30-minute recess so that Edgeworth can
go bring Marshall to court.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation with Lana and Ema. Strangely, Lana thinks
you've figured it all out, even though you're sure you haven't. Also,
it seems that Lana has requested Gumshoe to bring the SL-9 Incident
files. The files will be added to your Court Record. Take this chance
to read it. It has four pages:
INCIDENT NO. SL-9

Ema was a witness? She didn't even know that... then she remembers a
case she witnessed before, called the "Joe Darke Killings". So, the
"Joe Darke Killings" is the SL-9 Incident. Notice also a certain "Neil
Marshall" under the victims page.
It seems that everyone involved in this case is connected to the
killings from two years ago. This can't be just a coincidence.
Time to get back to the court though. Save your game.
DAY 3 - TRIAL LATTER
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 9
Date: February 24, 12:14pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ema didn't come back with you, so you'll have to fight this case
alone now. Edgeworth will call Marshall to the stands. So it begins.
MARSHALL'S TESTIMONY 1
----------------------
Marshall's job was to keep a wary eye on that bone orchard. He was
supposed to make rounds three times a day, but that isn't his style,
especially when the room is protected by two security systems. He was
at a street-side saloon at the time it went down. He's just an
innocent travellin' man, so if you're out of ammo it's time he hits
the trail.
NOTE: I tried summing it up, but it still sounds CRAP.
MARSHALL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
------------------------------
Before you cross-examine, you'll automatically ask him about the two
security systems that he mentioned. He replies that it's the security
camera and the ID card reader system. When you press him about the
fingerprint activated locks, he doesn't seem to know anything about
it.
Press his first statement about keeping an eye on the bone orchard.
He replies that he'll erase videos that tell nothing after a period of
time. Edgeworth adds that if nothing unusual is recorded, tapes are
erased every six hours.
Press the statement about making rounds three times a day, and Marshall
will tell you he didn't step into the evidence room on the day of the
crime. The judge steps in to ask about the rubber glove stuck in
the victim's locker, and he'll reply he doesn't know anything about
it - he hasn't been in the room for weeks.
He's not very helpful, but you've two important clues on hand that can
fully counter whatever he says, so play your cards right. First,
present Marshall's handprint when he says that he's in a saloon - if
he wasn't in the evidence room at the time of the crime, why was his
handprint (a bloody one at that) found on one of the lockers?
He has an explanation for that though. Up comes his next testimony.
MARSHALL'S TESTIMONY 2
----------------------
Marshal says it's only natural for his fingerprints to be found in the
room. One of them just happened to be at the same place as the blood-
stained handprint. The murderer must have touched the locker where his
fingerprint was by chance. The bloodstain and the fingerprint are
completely unrelated. The murderer was also wearing gloves. He had
nothing to do with it.
MARSHALL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
------------------------------
Press the first sentence. He reveals that it's natural because that
locker with the bloodstained print also happens to be his.
This information will be updated to your Court Record.
Press the statement about the murderer was wearing gloves, and ask him
how did he know it. He mentions he still read reports. Edgeworth then
reminds you about the bloodstained prints on Gumshoe's locker, which
shows no fingerprints.
This is when Marshall tells you that as long as his trail isn't in
the video tape, you can't tie him to the crime.
He now adds a statement to ask you whether is it too bad that it
wasn't him in the video. Press him, you'll argue that the video is
full of blind spots - the camera's panning back and forth, the floor
isn't shown. If someone was familiar with the camera's position, he
could leave the room without being caught on tape.
Edgeworth objects your speculation immediately, and the judge will ask
you whether you want to indicate any, er, indication that Marshall was
present in the video. Choose to show evidence.
So, the video shows again. Fast forward to the part when a white cloth
was shown sticking out of Marshall's locker. Point to that thing and
present - Marshall was clearly seen in the video! The key lies in
his locker - the lockers are fingerprint activated, and the white
cloth only appeared towards the end of the video, meaning that someone
has opened the locker when the camera wasn't showing it. The only
person who could've open Marshall's locker is, of course, Marshall
himself.
Amazingly, Marshall really doesn't know that the lockers are finger-
print activated. He challenges you to prove that he opened that
locker. Present the locker - a fingerprint sensor, "pardner".
It's showtime for you now, as you automatically shows the judge the
floor plans of the evidence room, and explain what happened - there
was no place to hide in this room, yet Meekins didn't see Marshall.
The judge will ask you why. You'll be asked to point out where was
Marshall at the time of the crime. Point to the blue "V" and present -
Marshall was standing right in front of Meekins, dressed up like
Goodman.
Edgeworth objects, but you easily counter him with the testimony from
Meekins - if it was really Goodman, he could've simply show Meekins
his ID card without having to draw a knife. The reason that he drew
the knife was that he couldn't show it - Marshall used Goodman's card
to enter the room. Goodman's picture is on the ID, and he looks
nothing like Marshall.
Marshall doesn't give up so easily, and he now asks you for hard
evidence that it was really him in the room. Well, you've none. As
you panic, Edgeworth gives you an advice - when you've run into a wall
with no place to go, return to the basics.
This reminds you of what Mia used to tell you - think outside the box!
You shouldn't look for proof that Marshall was in disguise. Instead,
you should look for evidnece that came about because he was in
disguise.
Edgeworth now asks why do you think Marshall's locker was opened in
the first place. There wasn't a need, unless opening the locker wasn't
meant to be in Marshall's plan originally.
So, you call another shot to view the video. You've to show the court
why Marshall has to put away the white cloth that was sticking out of
his locker. Fast forward to the part when blood was on Marshall's
coat, point to the blood on his coat and present - he couldn't just
walk out of the room in a blood-soiled coat, so he has to put it away
in his locker.
This will finally lead to his confession.
MARSHALL'S TESTIMONY 3
----------------------
Marshall mentions he had to do it that day. He just couldn't stand by
and let it die. He stole Goodman's ID and dressed like him because he
planned to take out the evidence. He wasn't expecting Meekins, so he
knocked him out and escaped. He knew which earea wouldn't be caught on
the camera. There was no murder in the evidence room at 5:15pm.
MARSHALL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
------------------------------
Before you begin, Edgeworth asks about the large amount of blood found
in the evidence room. Marshall replies that Meekins' hand was cut, so
he should be the blood donor. But you feel that there's still too much
blood for a cut wrist. Well, nothing comes out of this though, so
let's move on.
Press the first statement. Yes, it's about the SL-9 Incident. The
evidence are due to transferal, but Marshall feels that the case is
not over. He can't let the case close, which was why he wanted to
steal the evidence. You wonder why was he so interested, since he
wasn't the one in charge of it anyway. Now, I gave you a hint earlier,
so I hope you saw it. But it's not time for it though, we'll come to
it later.
Press the second statement. He replies that he dressed up as Goodman
so that he can fool the camera into believing that Goodman was doing
transferal. He also admits to stealing Goodman's ID card, which was
why Goodman was filling up the lost item report. He returned the ID
card by leaving it on the floor of the parking lot.
Edgeworth then points out an interesting observation - normally,
Goodman's locker shouldn't have opened. Who stick the rubber glove in
to keep the locker opened? Did Goodman open it before Marshall?
Now, when he says that there was no murder in the room that day, press
him. He reveals that he didn't manage to steal the evidence, because
when he opened the locker, the evidence was already gone. Edgeworth
adds that the evidence is still missing. So, someone else stole the
evidence.
You'll now ask Marshall why did he risk so much just to steal the SL-9
Incident's evidence. This will open up some new statements in this
testimony.
NOTE: Alex Luke wrote that you'll have to press all statements from
Marshal in order for you to ask him why did he risk so much.
He says that he can't just forget the SL-9 Incident, and asks whether
you know why. Present the SL-9 Incident files now - well, you know
whhy. The name "Neil Marshall" was mentioned in the file, under the
list of murder victims.
Neil Marshall received the "K" trophy two years ago - yes, he was a
prosecutor. Neil was handling the SL-9 Incident before Edgeworth took
over. He was killed before he completed the case. Marshall reveals
that Neil was his brother. Neil was investigating the murders with
Gant at that time. Goodman, Marshall and Angel were all working under
them Neil and Gant. They were desperate to prosecute the killer, Joe
Darke. Neil fought Darke and was killed. That was the first time that
Darke left behind an evidence, and it was all the police needed to
nail him.
Darke was eventually apprehended, and the case was closed, at least to
the public. Marshall reveals that Neil couldn't have been killed by
Darke - no one could've beaten him in a fight. There's more to Neil's
death than what the records say.
Now, at the end of today's trial, you still have nothing to help Lana.
But at least you've solved the mystery of the "two Goodman murders".
But the blood... yes, too much blood. And the ID card record... who's
7777777?
Before you can take a breather, Edgeworth now brings you back to Lana.
If no murder happens at the evidence room, then the murder at the
parking lot must be real, and Lana is the only suspect. This will lead
to only one conclusion - the judge wants to pound his gavel again to
declare Lana guilty.
And we all know someone will somehow do a "HOLD IT!" here. This time,
it's Ema. She's back! She claims that there's a "scientific
objection". Huh?
Ema explains now after realising that the SL-9 Incident was the Joe
Darke killings, she immediately understands that even though
Marshall's prints were found in the evidence room, he has nothing to
do with the murder. This leaves the prints on Gumshoe's locker - the
ones that showed nothing because of some trusty gloves.
She figured that if she ran some scientific experiments on those
prints, she might find something, which was why she didn't return to
court just now. She found nothing though, but she's adamant that
the traces of blood on Gumshoe's locker are the only clue you have.
The judge will now ask you whether is there anything wrong with these
prints.
Select "I object" after looking at the evidence room's floor plans.
Something is missing from it. Something that, when drawn, will
completely change the meaning of the blood mark. You'll now be asked
what is that thing. Hey, present the Blue Badger!
The mascot of the police force/ defender of truth/ guardian of proof
was in the room on the day of the crime. He was "dancing" right in
front of Gumshoe's locker. Now, if the Blue Badger was doing his stuff
in front of this locker, it'd be impossible to place a handprint at on
the locker.
This also means that the blood print was placed BEFORE the Blue Badger
was in the evidence room, that is, before 4:50pm. This also proved
that on the day of the crime, blood was spilled twice in the evidence
room. Someone must have been murdered in the room before Marshall
went in to steal the evidence. Who? Well, Goodman of course! The
massive amount of blood there must be from him, and he was murdered
not in the parking lot, but in the evidence room!
Watch the war of objections between Edgeworth and you, then the judge
will ask you to show evidence of when the incident before Marshall vs
Meekins took place. Present the ID Card record - the crime took place
before 4:50pm, so it'd have to be, 4:40pm... Edgeworth?
Edgeworth then explains that it couldn't have been him, because the
traces of blood wasn't there when Meekins entered the room. It wasn't
quite possible for Edgeworth to murder the victim, carry the body
away, and clean up the blood in the 10 minutes between his entrance
and Meekins'.
This just leaves the mysterious "7777777", at 4:20pm. And since there
was no record of Goodman's ID card entering during this time (his was
stolen anyway), the only logical explanation is that he entered the
room with the real murderer - something he knew, and was perhaps close
to.
Edgeworth then reveals that "7777777" belongs to someone with a rank
of Captain or higher. He doesn't has the authority to inquire into
such a person's identity.
I think you should who did the murder by now. But let's not spoil
this. Edgeworth continues and say that he can file an "official
charge" to get the identity. Before you can proceed with asking more
about this, Marshall intercepts and demands an explanation from Lana
about the SL-9 Incident - did she really only use legitimate evidence
to apprehend Darke?
Lana replies that she "occasionally" felt the powerlessness of the
law during that trial. She felt she did what she had to, in order for
Darke to get the verdict he deserved... even if it involved forging
evidence.
Lana's reaction caused such a stir in the crowd, the trial cannot be
concluded. Well, you've one more day to fight for. Save your game.
DAY 3 - INVESTIGATION
---------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Wright and Co. Law Offices
Date: February 24, 3:12pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation to find out that when Neil was murdered,
Darke left behind an incriminating piece of evidence - her. Darke was
trying to kill her when Neil intervened, and he was killed instead.
Ema was therefore a witness in the trial.
Talk to her about the case now. She reveals that the case happened
about this time two years ago. She was alone in Lana's office,
planning to have dinner once Lana finished her work, when Darke came
into the office. It seemed like Darke was running away from someone.
He pulled out a knife and attacked her. Neil then showed up, and
Darke tried to take her hostage. Neil prevented him from doing that,
and that was when lightning struck. The lights went out. Then another
bolt of lightning flashed outside the window, lighting up the office
for an instance. Ema then saw something that left a "permanent
picture" in her mind.
Ask her about the permanent picture. She replies that Darke knocked
down Neil, and before she saw the next incident, she fainted. When
she woke up, Lana was beside her. It was how she became a witness.
Ask her about "after the crime", and she replies that she doesn't
remember the moment when Darke stabbed Neil. This should be why Lana
decided to forge evidence to nail Darke. Edgeworth wouldn't have
know that the evidence was forged.
Now, asking about "something puzzling". Ema was in Lana's office then.
Why then could a serial killer come running in there? And why would
he be chased by Neil? She replies that Darke has been taken in for
questioning that day by the police. He escaped halfway through the
interview to Lana's office, because the detective offices and the
questioning room are right across from the elevator. She then reviews
that two years ago, Lana was a detective. It was only after the Darke
case that she was transferred to the prosecutor's office and became
Chief Prosecutor.
I think you'll need to talk to Lana again. Go to the detention center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ask about her detective past. Lana was an amazing detective then, and
she solved several cases together with Gant, who was then vice-head of
criminal affairs. Gant's help in the SL-9 Incident was critical, and
he became chief of police after that, and arranged her transfer to the
prosecutor's office.
Ask about the investigation. Lana was 2nd IC during the Darke
investigation. Gant and her share the same office, and the same
investigations. They led the team that consisted of Goodman, Marshall
and Angel. During that fateful day when Neil passed away, she was the
first at the scene of crime.
Now, ask about her claims as being the first at the scene of crime.
She reveals that Gant and Marshall were questioning Darke that day.
The investigation was in its final stages when Darke panicked. He
fled the room when Gant and Marshall let their guards down. She was
filing so papers then, and when she returned to her office, she saw
three bodies and smelled blood - Neil, Ema, and Darke. During the
struggle, it seems that Neil struck a final blow before he died, which
caused Darke to be unconscious. She then rested Ema, and placed Darke
under immediate arrest.
You'll now raise your doubts - maybe SL-9 is really not over yet.
Go to the police department entrance now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department Entrance
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find Marshall here. He's on his way to turn himself in. Before
he does so, talk to him about the Darke trial. He reveals that all
the detectives working on the case (Goodman, Angel and himself) felt
that something fishy was going on during the trial. Some of the facts
reported were inconsistent with the evidence they found. For example,
the murder weapon. The switchblade belongs to Darke, but in the
initial autopsy report, a question was raised - apparently, the blade
of the knife wasn't a perfect match with the wound that the victim
sustained. This means that there's a good chance that the knide wasn't
the murder weapon after all. In the report that was submitted,
however, this possibility was erased. He also talks about how the case
left scars in all of them.
Ask about these scars, and he'll mention that there was something
going on behind the scenes in the case, and they got to know that
later. Every detective involved in the case, except for Goodman, was
"taken care of". Angel was fired. He was demoted and boxed away in
the evidence room. Goodman was spared just so that the dealing with
of the detectives weren't so obvious. He was also adamant that it was
Gant and Lana who were behind their demise.
Talk about Gant and Lana. He replies that Lana was never the same
after she became prosecutor. Marshall never found out why.
Last but not least, ask about his brother. He reveals that the day
that the SL-9 Incident occured, it was also evidence transferal day.
You deduce that someone must have know that Marshall was trying to
steal the evidence so that the case won't die, but apparently someone
stole it before hand. In the process, Goodman was murdered.
So, there you've it. Adios, Marshall. Before he leaves, he also
tells you that it was Gant who passed the falsified evidence to
Edgeworth during the SL-9 trial.
Go to the CAD now.

At the end of the conversation with the head detective, you'll gain a
path to Gant's office. Go there.

Scene: Police Department, Chief's Office
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find Gant here. He immediately puts a piece of paper he was
reading into his desk. He'll then approach you, and which eventually
leads to a big clue - a portrait of Neil, Lana and him. Neil was
holding the "K" trophy, but check out the jar behind Lana and him -
wasn't it that broken, unstable jar in your Court Record? Notice also
that the "K" trophy looks quite different from the one that's in your
Court Record too.
Anyhow, this picture will be added to your Court Record.
Before you can do anything, Gant attempts to chase you out. Ema talks
about the SL-9 case, but Gant insists that the case has long been
closed, so there's no need to investigate it anymore. You insist that
you'll want to have a look, but he rejects you blatantly. So, you
find yourself back at the entrance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department Entrance

There must be a reason that Gant doesn't want you looking around in
his office. There must be a way to get inside his office. Quickly go
back to the CAD.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department, Criminal Affairs
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe! Talk to him as he reveals Edgeworth's crisis: Despite knowing
nothing about the forgery, the prosecutor is still responsible for the
evidence he presents in court. The rumors about Edgeworth didn't make
matters any better.
Ask about the SL-9 case. Gumshoe will tell you about the murder
weapon. Amazingly, he doesn't remember anything, so present the
switchblade to help him recall. He now remembers what was that piece
of evidence. Talk to him about the weapon now.
Apparently, the police traced the switchblade back to the store Darke
bought it, and it had his fingerprints as well. Anyhow, the blade was
broken, and the broken tip was found in Neil's body, deep inside the
stab wound.
You'll get an update to the switchblade in your Court Record, as well
as get Neil's autopsy report, which states:
Name of deceased: Neil Marshall (27)/ Male
Date and time of death: February 19, between 7:00pm and 7:30pm
Cause of death: Single stab wound piercing heart/ lung.
Assessment: Died from blodd wound in under 10 minutes. Weapon found in
the wound was missing tip.
Now, ask about Darke's crimes. Gumshoe tells you that Darke
accidentally killed someone in his car one evening, and this unleashed
a series of murders that all began when he was trying to cover this
crime.
At the end of this conversation, he tells you that any detective's
ID card can unlock Gant's door. You can't use Goodman's card anymore,
since the card has been deactivated since his death. Gumshoe is your
only chance, but he doesn't want to help for fear of repurcssions.
Present the unstable jar, and he suddenly feels like he's in Gant's
office, with Gant yelling at him. You may also present other evidence
to try and get him to bring you into Gant's room, but he won't bulge.
Instead, leave him for a moment and visit Edgeworth in his office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: High Prosecutor's Office, Room 1202
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation until you can talk to Edgeworth. Ask about
the forged evidence. He replies that he'll take responsibility, even
though he didn't know anything about the forgery. This is to maintain
the relationship between the prosecutor's office and the police
department.
Ask about the day of the crime. He replies that he had to attend the
ceremony because he was given the award - those receiving awards can't
skip out on the ceremony. He finished his work in the morning, then
drove to the police department. He didn't plan on returning to the
office that day, until Gant asked him to take something back - the
screwdriver that Gant told him to take out from the evidence room.
So it seems Edgeworth came back only because Gant asked him to.
Ask about tomorrow's trial. He mentions it's too late to change
prosecutor since it's the last day of the trial. He never thought that
the SL-9 Incident would come back to haunt him like this. He did
notice then that the list of evidence was too short. Most lists run
twice as long. However, he was determined to prove the suspect guilty
even if the evidence list was short.
This is when Ema mentions that you saw a picture of Gant's team taken
around that time. The picture looks odd to you. Maybe you'd like to
present it to Edgeworth. Ema then notes that the trophy that Neil was
holding looks different from the one Edgeworth has. Edgeworth replies
that that was the official prosecutor trophy used until that time.
He says that the award is based on "contradiction".
Now, ask about the prosecutor trophy. He'll reveal that the award
originates from an ancient Chinese tale. In Chinese, the word
"contradiction" is written with two characters: the first means
"halberd", the second means "shield".
NOTE: If you're Chinese and you know about the origin of this story,
you may know that "halberd" is a weapon that is some sort of a long
shaft that has a blade attached to its end.
Now, if don't know about the origin of "halberd vs shield", Edgeworth
will tell you. I won't reprise the story here, but to summarise it
for you: Who'll win if the best halberd in the world, which can pierce
through any shield, and the best shield in the world, which can block
any attacks from any weapons? Clearly, a contradiction!
Anyhow, the broken shield and the chipped blade on the previous
"K" trophy were used to symbolise both the halberd and the shield. It
was two years ago that Gant had the "halberd" part of the award
abolished.
This information will be updated into your Court Record.
NOTE: For some easter eggs, examine the bottom of the award to find
the most frequent recipient of this award, a certain Manfred von
Karma. :)
Next, show him the screwdriver, which has nothing to do with both
the SL-9 and the current case. Edgeworth says that Gant is a very
competent man, but at times he does things that don't make any sense.
Now, when you arrived here just now, Edgeworth quickly threw a piece of
paper onto the ground. Examine the paper - he was writing a letter of
resignation!
Letter of resignation added to your Court Record.
Go back to the parking lot now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Prosecutor's Office, Underground Parking Lot
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find Angel here. Ask her about Darke's investigation. She
reveals that seeing Marshall obsession to find the truth about SL-9
made Lana more desperate (?). She mentions about the "legendary duo"
of Gant and Lana again.
Ask about the duo. She reveals that Gant's ability to attract evidence
was almost unreal - he'd produce the most incredible evidence in the
cases he handled. No one dared to question him though. Angel also
mentions that every detective aspired to be like Lana two years ago.
BUt after the incident, Lana felt for Jake, because after Neil's
death, she felt as if she had lost her own brother.
Ask about "after case closed". She mentions she was sure that the
evidence produced in court was forged, but even so, Darke was obviously
guilty. Items they never found were suddenly produced in court, while
other stuff were kept secret. Every detective, bar Goodman, were then
relieved of their duties without any explanation. She also gives you
her explanation of Lana's move to the prosecutor's office - she was
merely used as a pawn.
Ask about this "being used" thing. She replies that having solved the
SL-9 case, Gant's position as chief was secured. There was only one
thing left for him to control, and then no one would stand in his way
- the prosecutor's office. This was why Lana was transferred - if he
could control the chief prosecutor, he would've control over the
prosecutor's office altogether. That was his goal all along. She adds
that Lana must have a reason to change into a totally different person
after the SL-9 Incident.
She has nothing more to tell you now, so return to the CAD.

Gumshoe still doesn't want to let you into Gant's room. Present the
letter of resignation to him - Gumshoe geniunely cares for Edgeworth,
and you'll convince that checking out Gant's room could help clear his
name. Gumshoe will pass you his ID card. Yes, finally, a passage to
Gant's room!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department, Chief's Office
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe follows you into the room. Talk to him about Gant's office.
He mentions that this room now belongs soley to Gant, unlike two years
ago when Lana shared it with him. It seems that ever since Lana left,
no one has ever touched her desk though.
Ask about the chief. He asks whether you think the chief is a suspect.
I think you know what this means, but you won't want to divulge your
true feelings, so you'd ignore him.
Examine the room now:
1. There's a big organ in the room. Gumshoe says it's very, very
loud when played.
2. When you check out the armor on the right screen, Gumshoe asks you
to be careful - who knows, maybe someone is hiding inside!
3. The desk has a list of evidence, used in a case - this was what
Gant was reading earlier when you first visited this room. This list
happens to be the list of evidence for the SL-9 Incicent - it appears
also to be the "other half" of that "shortened" list that Edgeworth
mentioned earlier.
The list will be added to your Court Record. Now, examine this by
rotating it to the back. You'll find a sketch on the back - looks like
someone is in the process of killing another with something in his
hand.
Please remember this sketch.
4. Spray some luminol fluid behind Lana's desk on the left screen to
find a large pool of blood. This must be from the SL-9 Incident.
5. The safe beside Gant's desk requires a seven-digit code to open.
When asked whether you want to input a number, do so. You know the
number, right? No? Well, it's "7777777".
Code confirmed! Access granted! What does this tell you? Gant's ID
number is mostly likely "7777777"! He was the mysterious "executive
office" who entered the evidence room before anyone else on that day
with Goodman! Does this mean...?
Examine the opened safe now. You'll find the last piece of the broken
unstable jar inside. You'll also find a piece of leather cloth that
shows a handprint. Gumshoe says he saw someone wearing a shirt like
this before.
Gumshoe wouldn't let you take them away though, so you'll have to
prove that they're related to the case. First, present the jar.
Select "assemble fragments" next. You'll now have to do the "rotate-
and-combine" thing again, but this time, there's only one piece.
Rotate clockwise twice and combine it.
The fragment fits like a charm. This means that Gant knowingly hid a
piece of this jar into his safe. Moreover, this piece you've just
comobined has a reddish line on it - blood!
This information will be updated to your Court Record.
You'll still need the leather cloth, so present the fingerprinting
set to Gumshoe. This is allow you to check for prints on the cloth.
After doing so, you'll find that the handprint belongs to... Ema!
Gumshoe and you decide to keep this information from her. But he hands
over the cloth to you anyway.
Strip of cloth added to the Court Record.
This is when Gant returns. Gumshoe will be fired as a result of
helping you sneak into his room. Gant wants to talk to Ema, and he
chased you out of his room, so you'll find yourself at the entrance
again!

Now that you've seen the evidence in Gant's room, you've more or less
guessed what had happened. Gumshoe will leave after this. Later in the
day, Ema told you that the police asked her some questions, so she'll
be busy for the rest of the day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: February 24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find yourself at the detention center after that. Go through
the conversation with Lana. You'll tell her who she has been trying to
shield all this while. Now it's your chance to get her to tell you
everything.
Ask her why she has been keeping quiet. You'll tell her she claims she
did the murder, even without any incriminating evidence, because she
was afraid of someone. She'll ask you who's she afraid of. Point to
Gant and present.
You'll now get the chance to ask about Gant. Do so, and you'll ask her
why did he try to hide his crimes. She'll ask you to show her proof
that Gant falsified evidence in the SL-9 case.
Present the evidence list. You'll present all three items you found in
Gant's office - the jar piece, the strip of cloth and the evidence
list. They're all pieces of evidence from the SL-9 Incident, and
they're all found in Gant's room. The person who has been concealing
evidence is none other than Gant himself.
This is when Lana tells you that she can't disobey the chief's orders,
even if it means being found guilty for murder. Three days ago, she
has no choice but to "follow orders" in the murder of Goodman.
Ask about these "orders". She says she was given an order that day, to
dispose Goodman's body. She'll find it inside the trunk of Edgeworth's
car. Just as you suspected, then. She was trying to take the body out
of Edgeworth's car, and she discovered the murder weapon while
inspecting the body - when she found the body, it was the SL-9's
switchblade that was found on Goodman's body.
She couldn't leave the blade in him, so she took it out and stabbed the
body with Edgeworth's knife, which she found in the toolbox in the
car's trunk. This was also how she ended up cutting her hand, as she
was too nervous about even stabbing a dead man. This was also how her
blood was found on Goodman's shoe. The moment she struck Goodman's
dead body was when Angel saw her.
Ask about why she need to hide Darke's knife. She replies she doesn't
want the SL-9 case to surface again, which is why Darke's knife
can't be found. She then called Ema to hide the knife - this was why
Ema was so confident about her sister's innocence.
She continues to tell about another phonecall. After she received the
orders to dispose Goodman's body, she made a phonecall to Marshall.
The lead investigator for the SL-9 Incident has been murdered. She
needed that fact to be kept hidden, and she needed help. Marshall was
the only other person she could trust. This, however, led to Marshall
deciding to steal evidence from Goodman's locker instead - he has
already stolen the ID card, but he still hasn't made up his mind to
really do it then.
That's all she can tell you. As the day comes to an end in this very
long case, save your game.

Go through the conversation and you'll reach an agreement with
Edgeworth to find out the truth, sort of.

Date: February 25, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gant appears, and reveals that Lana wants to speak to the court. Looks
like he's forcing her to plead guilty.
Lana takes the stands and immediately confess to the crime. She fires
you as her attorney as well, and tells the judge to pass the sentence.
The judge will then prepare to pound his gavel again to pronounce
Lana guilty (for the third time)... and then an "OBJECTION!" comes in
from Edgeworth.
Edgeworth argues that he has not proven that Lana was guilty beyond
reasonable doubt, and that any ruling at this stage would certainly be
premature. Gant will asks Edgeworth to shut up, but Edgeworth is
adamant. In fact, he shows no fear for Gant as he suggests that some
deal must be struck behind the scenes that led to Lana's sudden
confession. He now calls upon Ema to the stands. Great work, Edgey!
The trip to yesteryear has finally begun. Ema will testify about the
SL-9 Incident.
EMA'S TESTIMONY 1
-----------------
Ema was waiting for Lana in Lana's office that day. A man came running
in and took her hostage. Neil rescued her, but she'll never forget
what she saw that instant. The man raised his knife, and stabbed Neil
in the chest.
EMA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-------------------------
Press Ema's first statement, and she'll add that it was the office
that Lana and Gant used to share, that is, Gant's current office. She
used to be there often and dreamt about playing that big organ.
Press the sentence on Neil rescuing Ema. Edgeworth reveals that two
persons were questioning Darke that day - Gant and Neil. Neil had just
received the prosecutor trophy that day, but he immediately went back
to his work after that. When Darke escaped, Neil was first to give
chase.
Press the statement on she'll never forget what she saw, and she'll
reply that Neil jumped on Darke. The lights went out then due to a
lightning strike nearby. When the lighting outside flashed again,
she saw what she, er, saw. She also told Goodman about what she saw.
Choose to "hear more" now. She'll say that when talking to Goodman,
she just couldn't say anything due to the fear, so she drew a picture
of the incident instead.
Ask about the picture. Edgeworth objects that two years ago, the list
of evidence he has didn't include this picture. The judge will now ask
Ema to add this information into her testimony.
So, when she says she drew a picture of that scene, present the list
of evidence - there's a sketch behind the list, and it must be drawn
by Ema!
The judge now notices that the list you presented is different from
what Edgeworth has - these two lists fit together to form one. Two
years ago, only half of the evidence of the case reached Edgeworth.
Now, if the evidence list was torn into half, then there might be more
drawing on the back of Edgeworth's list. Edgeworth turns his over to
find a sketch of... the Blue Badger!
You'll now get both lists combined into your Court Record. The general
reaction is that the head detective was using this list as scrap paper
to "design" the Blue Badger. But if you examine the lists to see the
full picture, it seems that Blue Badger is part of the picture. Notice
Ema's strange reaction too when she sees the full picture.
EMA'S TESTIMONY 2
-----------------
Ema drew this picture two picture two years ago. The flash of lighting
was so bright, all she could see were shadows. After that she must
have fainted. The picture shows exactly what she saw that instance.
EMA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-------------------------
Press her statement about the bright flash, and she confirms that she
couldn't really be sure whether it was Neil who came to her rescue.
But she mentions that she was knocked away when Neil allegedly jumped
onto Darke. It was when he turned around when the lightning flashed.
Now, on her last statement, present Neil's autopsy report - the
picture Ema drew has a contradiction. The judge asks you to point out
where the contradiction is. Point to the hand with the weapon - the
tip on the weapon is already broken. The tip was found in Neil's
body, but Neil suffered a single stab wound to the back. If he was
only stabbed once, then the weapon shouldn't yet have a broken tip.
There's another explanation to this, obviously. The only explanation,
actually - the broken knife tip could well be the piece of evidence
that was forged in the SL-9 Incident!
Now, you'll explain what really happened: The police department and
the prosecutor's office were holding a ceremony that day. After
receiving the prosecutor trophy at the ceremony, Neil questioned Darke
together with Gant. During the question, Darke fled the room. Neil
gave chase, and was killed by Darke. You believe that somewhere in
this story, there's a lie.
This will lead to the discussion of the possibility of another weapon.
Is there one? Yes, of course. Tell them "there is another one", and
present Gant's team photo - the weapon was right here in this photo.
The broken knife is the "halberd" from the prosecutor trophy!
Neil was chasing Darke on that day. Being a prosecutor, he has no
gun, and this "halberd" was the only weapon he has against Darke.
This means that in the picture that Ema drew, it'd have been Neil
raising the knife!
Ema then interrupts, and says she remembers everything now. She asks
Edgeworth to show her his evidence list again - the one the drawing of
the Blue Badger. She confirms that she drew this picture as well,
because when she drew it, the evidence list wasn't torn into two yet.
EMA'S TESTIMONY 3
-----------------
When Ema saw the man raised his knife, she panicked, and rushed
towards both of them. She thinks she knocked away the man with the
knife. Just then, there was another flash of lightning, and that's
when she saw the Blue Badger. "He" wasn't in the room, but she's sure
she saw "his" shadow.
Edgeworth objects - the design for the Blue Badger wasn't even up until
this year. Lana then interrupts and pleads for you guys to stop
pursuing this matter any further. The judge ignores her though, so
you can cross-examine Ema again.
EMA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
-------------------------
Don't waste any time. Wait till Ema says that she's sure she was the
Blue Badger's shadow, then present the unstable jar. You'll need to
adjust the jar until it looks like the Blue Badger's shadow. TO do
that, invert the jar verticially, then turn it horizotally to show its
back. Now, rotate it vertically to such an angle that it looks exactly
like the Blue Badger's head. Hey presto!
UPDATE: Thanks to Alvin and Ben, I've images to show you how to do this
puzzle, which is one that stumped many people.
Step-by-Step Diagram:

Actual screenshot:

- Contributed by Ben. I'm not sure whether he took the picture himself,
but he showed this to me when I was asking around. If you're the owner
of this photo, please let me know and I'll provide full credit.
Edgeworth then asks you what does this jar change. Select "the murder
weapon". You'll automatically show Gant's team photo again, which
shows the jar - Ema saw this jar at a very specific angle. Where could
she have seen this jar then? Well, the jar was on a shelf that belongs
to Gant. This proves that the struggle between Darke and Neil happened
on the other side of the room - Gant's office. Someone moved Neil's
body from Gant's office to Lana's office, just across the desk.
The only logical reason for doing that? Well, when Ema knocked a man
away, the man could've actually knocked into the armor, who has a
rather sharp and dangerous looking sword... so it appears that it was
Ema who caused the death of Neil.
Yes, it's tough on Ema, but this is the truth. She can't take it, and
faints. This is probably why Lana was trying to stop the trial all
along. It was Lana who moved the body to her own desk so that no one
will find out about what Ema did.
Lana was adamant that what Edgeworth and you have been discussing were
lies. Since you've no proof, you can't say for sure. This is when
Edgeworth points out to a possibility that Neil might have written a
note before he died. Does such a message exist? Yes, it does!
Tell the judge the message from the victim is in the evidence. Present
the unstable jar once again - a message was left on the surface of the
jar, in blood. It looks like someone wiped the blood away. For some
reasons, the blood on some of the fragments wasn't wiped away though.
Blood must have seeped into the jar where the lines changed
directions. The dots of blood that left behind can be connected to
form a name.
Now, connect the dots on the touch screen, and you'll find: "EMA."
Gant now appears and pours cold water on Edgeworth. You immediately
objects, because Darke was obviously a murderer, just that, he didn't
kill Neil. Gant argues that it doesn't matter, since the list of
forged evidence was indeed used to sentence Darke to death.
This causes the morning's trial to come to a halt. Save your game.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: February 25, 12:06pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation with Edgeworth and Gumshoe. Gumshoe brings
you a book on evidence law. You're now reminded of the rule no. 1 of
the evidence, er, law:
"No evidence shall be shown without the approval of the police
department."
Gumshoe also relays a message from Lana - if you're planning to take
"HIM" on, you're going to need the book.
This evidence law book will now be added to the Court Record. Check it
out for rule no. 2:
"Unregistered evidence presented must be relevant to the case in
trial."
It's now time to bring this case to its end.
DAY 4 - TRIAL LATTER
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 9
Date: February 25, 12:52pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The speculations on Edgeworth will result in you being given the
chance to call forth a witness. A superb performance from Edgeworth to
allow you to continue the trial! You'll accept the proposal, so take
this opportunity to call upon Gant.
The judge agrees, so there, you'll get the chance to finally nail the
chief of police.
GANT'S TESTIMONY 1
------------------
Gant and Neil were questioning Darke that day. To make a long story
short, they slipped up. The power outage didn't help either. When
Gant went to the office, he found Lana there. Apparently, she had
already "arranged" the crime scene. He has nothing to do with this
forgery.
GANT'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
--------------------------
You'll need to hit him hard and fast. When he talks about having
nothing to do with the forgery, present the jar - if he had nothing to
do it, why did he keep the piece of fragement from the jar into his
safe? You'll also reveal that you found the other half of the
evidence list on his desk. These prove that he was also part of the
illegal investigation.
Gant will now explain why these stuff are found in his room.
GANT'S TESTIMONY 2
------------------
A jar fragment, and a list. Well, he claims you could've plated them
in his office. You also can't prove when these evidence were
discovered. If they were found after Darke were convicted, then
they'd be worthless. There's no reason he'd participate in a forgery.
Rearranging the crime scene wouldn't help him out in any way.
He then threatens to press charges against you for trespassing into
his office. He also seems to have something on the judge.
GANT'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
--------------------------
Press his statement about rearranging a crime. This will lead to a
speculation on him being an accomplice to somebody else. He'll then
change that statement and say that he wouldn't be anyone's accomplice
if there was nothing in it for him.
Now, press this statement. This will eventually lead to an option for
you to point out an accomplice. Choose it, and then present Lana as
the one whom Gant was helping. It was quite an obvious choice - Ema
fell victim to a series of unfortunate events. Who'd want to help her
more than her own sister, Lana? Desperate, Lana sought help from
Gant, who saw the opportunity to control the prosector's office right
there and then. For his own profit, he participated in the forgery,
and then arranged for Lana to become chief prosecutor, so that he
could control her.
Gant will then ask for proof. You've none, since Lana won't testify.
Edgeworth will add that perhaps you can find something from the
murder of Goodman to support your case. You'll now accuse Gant for
being involved in the murder Goodman, and getting Lana to take the rap
to cover up his involvement.
Now, watch the crowd reaction, while Edgeworth and you reach an
agreement to pursue this issue all the way. The judge will now ask
whether you can prove what you claimed.
Present the ID Card record. The identity of "7777777" is finally going
to be revealed in court - the safe in Gant's office requires a code to
open. The code is "7777777". This proves that the person who entered
the evidence room earlier on the day of Goodman's death is mostly
like Gant.
He retorts by saying that he went to the evidence room alone. You'll
then ask whether Goodman went in with him. He replies he hasn't seen
Goodman "in days". You'll immediately reply that he has undone
himself. You'll need to show proof to support your statement though,
so present the lost item report - Goodman lost his ID card on that
day (Marshall stole it, remember?), so he filed a lost item report.
He'd have to give that report to the chief of police, that is, Gant.
How could Gant then not have seen Goodman for days?
Now, the lost item report is your hands, which means he didn't hand it
in, right? Gant asks you about that. You'll reply he filed it, because
he needed to enter the evidence room that day for transferal. Goodman
took the form to Gant. Gant then accompanied Goodman to the evidence
room. He then murdered Goodman in the room, and instructed Lana to
clean up the mess.
He'll then reply that he could've lend his ID card to Goodman, which
Edgeworth immediately objects by saying that if that's so, the card
would be found on Goodman's body, since it has only been used once on
that day.
Watch Gant turns into a mutant in his frenzy. You'll then explain that
the murder was most likely committed on the spur of the moment, as no
one in their right mind would choose the police department as a place
to murder someone.
As you explain how Gant instructed Lana to clean up the mess, Edgeworth
brings up a valid point - how did the body end up at the parking lot?
Well, you've proof, didn't you? Remember the screwdriver? Yes, the
one that Ema joked about it being a decisive evidence to solve this
case? Well, it is not exactly decisive, but it sure is important!
Present it.
Think back to the day of the crime, when Gant unnecessarily asked
Edgeworth to go into the evidence room to pick up an evidence on a case
that isn't due for transferal yet back to the prosecutor's office.
Why'd he do that? Well, he needed a diversion to get Edgeworth away
from his car, that's why. Using that time slot when Edgeworth was
away, Gant planted the body in the trunk of Edgeworth's car. It was
Edgeworth who unwittingly "helped" to remove the body from the police
department to the prosecutor's office!
Also, think back tp the photograph that Angel took at the prosecutor's
office. It was not a photo of the body being stuffed in the trunk to
be taken away. It was merely one of the body being discovered by
the person who told to discover it - Lana.
Gant will now invoke his right as the chief of police to refuse
testifying. You'll need a concrete proof. Unfortunately, you've none.
So, select "no proof yet" and let Gant leave. This is when Edgeworth
reminds you that in the event that concrete proof can't be found, you
can still rely on testimony.
Call Lana to the stands when given the opportunity to call one more
witness. This will give you another recess... wait, Gant returns
once more. Looks like he came back to threaten Lana. What a jerk.
Now, you can go for your recess. Get ready for the final push.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: February 25, 2:04pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth tells you that if Gant refuses to testify... this is when
Ema appears and completes the sentence - he also forfeits his right to
say anything as well.
She'll follow you into court for the last hurrah, while Edgeworth
tells you it's indeed time to end this. I mean, this FAQ is already
into the 300KB category!
Save your game.
DAY 4 - TRIAL LATTER 2
----------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 9
Date: February 25, 2:21pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your last battle in court in this game pits you against Lana. She's
still fearful of Gant, and will lie through her skin just to protect
Ema. However, as she lies so much, her testimonies are also easy to
counter.
LANA'S TESTIMONY 1
------------------
Lana tells you that she worked alongside Gant for years, and there's
no truth in your "blackmail" theory. She fabricated the evidence two
years ago all by herself. When she found Neil's body, she rearranged
the crime scene. Her only motivation was to get Darke convicted. It
had nothing to do with Ema.
LANA'S TESTIMONY 2
------------------
Press her when she says she rearranged the crime scene. She replies
that she was first to the crime scene, and she found the "halberd"
stuck in Neil's body. She then dismisses your "Neil died of an
accidental push from Ema" theory. This will lead to a discussion on
Darke's switchblade knife, and also her adding a statement that she
broke off the tio of Darke's knife, planted it inside the wound, and
moved the body.
Press this new statement. When given the choice to press further, ask
"when did you move the body". She replies that the body was indeed at
Gant's desk as you suggested, She'll then add another new statement
that the pieces of the jar that shattered during the events threatened
her plan.
Press this new statement again. She replies that when she saw the jar,
it was already shattered to pieces. It must have been shattered during
the melee between Neil and Darke. Now, go back to this statement and
present the jar - if the jar was shattered during the melee, how
could Neil write down Ema's name in blood on it?
So, it looks like more information is needed about this jar and the
bloody message.
LANA'S TESTIMONY 2
------------------
Lana now claims that she immediately noticed the blood traces on the
jar, but it was too dark in the room, and she didn't have time to
check it out. To be safe, she wiped away the blood. The fragments were
large, so she was sure she got them all. All she could think about was
wiping them clean before they were discovered.
LANA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
--------------------------
An easy testimony to counter - just present the jar again when she
says that she got all the pieces of the fragments. She didn't get all
the pieces, did she? There was one piece in the safe of Gant! The
truth is getting clearer by each passing minute. Lana wasn't the first
person who arrived at the scene of crime. It was Gant.
Watch the series of objections and explantion, which will eventually
lead to Lana's third, and final, testimony. This is when you suspect
that the earlier outcome that you arrived for the SL-9 Incident may
yet be a wrong conclusion. Perhaps, just perhaps, Ema didn't kill
Neil at all.
Anyway, let's go back to Lana's testimony.
LANA'S TESTIMONY 3
------------------
This time, Lana will tell the truth. When she arrived at the scene,
she already found Neil's body impaled on the armor's sword. Ema and
Darke were lying unconscious on the floor. When she saw what happened,
she thought Ema did it. That's why she erased all the evidence that
linked her to the murder. She had Gant helped her remove the body from
the sword and carry it. But if all she saw was just a fabrication, Ema
might yet be innocent!
LANA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
--------------------------
Before you even begin cross-examining her, she reveals that she has
already given the photo to the actual crime scene to you earlier.
Remember the book on Evidence Law? The judge will ask you to present
the photo, so find the book, check it, rotate it to its back and
point to the small logo on it to open it. The photo is right inside
the book. It's a picture of Neil impaled on the armor's sword. Note
also that a part of his vest was cut off - the slip of cloth you
found in Gant's safe?
Lana's picture added to Court Record.
Now, you won't have a chance to even cross-examine Lana, because Gant
suddenly interrupts the proceedings. Although he has given up his
right to testify, he could still present evidence. This is when he'll
force you to present the slip of cloth. But, how could you do it, when
Ema's handprint is on it? The judge will ask you whether do you really
have an evidence to present - well, even if you'll have to be
penalised for witholding evidence, say "cannot show evidence". You'll
tell the judge that you've nothing to present "at this point of time".
NOTE: If you insist of presenting, the end result is GAME OVER for
you. Trust me!
Watch now as Gant insists that you took something from his safe,
while you sheepishly deny. Gant now points to Lana's photo, about the
missing piece of cloth. This will, however, also implicate him as
really concealing evidence, but he doesn't seem to care anymore.
He'll follow up by admitting that he was the first person to arrive at
the crime scene that day. It occured to him that he could use the
situation to control Lana. She knew that Lana will take the bait if he
made the crime scene looked like Ema has done it. He hid two pieces of
evidence before Lana arrived.
He mentions that he hid these evidence "for insurance". He then
presents the jar again, and mentions about Ema's name being on it.
Edgeworth quickly objects, and says that the message on the jar could
be fabricated too.
This is when he once again puts pressure on you to present the slip of
cloth. You'll then ask him whether did he cut the piece of cloth from
Neil's vest, and hid it in his safe. He'll admit it.
NOTE: You asked that question for your own form of "insurance". We'll
come to it shortly.
It has been a long battle, but the moment of truth has finally
arrived. Select "show evidence" now, then present the slip of cloth.
You'll once again verify with Gant that he cut the slip of cloth
from Neil's vest on the day of crime. Stupidly, he says yes again.
Victory is in sight.
The result of showing this slip of cloth now is that the judge will
ask you whose handprint is it on the cloth. Select Ema. Yes, she'll
be briefly implicated, but you've laid your bait, and there's no
turning back now.
Watch now as Gant happily gets ready to celebrate his victory. This
is when you start to explain why Ema COULDN'T have done it. This slip
of cloth does indeed proves who the real murderer is, but it's not
possible for Ema to be that person. The slip of cloth contains a
decisive contradiction.
The judge will ask you what's the contradiction. Present Lana's photo
- the slip of cloth was cut from the left side of Neil's vest. The
photo shows clearly that Neil was stabbed on the left, leading to a
whole lot of blood on his shirt and vest. The slip of cloth, however,
looks decidedly clean. Looks like Ema has her print on the vest
because she pushed Neil aside, but someone cut the vest when Neil
was unconscious, then push Neil into the armor's sword, and wrote
Ema's name on the jar, then smashed it into pieces! And who could've
done that? Well, the person who admitted that he was first at the
crime scene!
Amazingly, Gant will still not give up. He now argues that the slip
of cloth is illegal evidence. He claims that you've earlier concealed
this piece of cloth , and your act of concealment has rendered the
slip of cloth "illegal".
At last, the time for you to reveal your plan has finally arrived.
When the judge asks you whether did you purposefully and illegally
concealed this piece of cloth, select "I did not".
Watch now as your explain why the evidence is not illegal. It's not
that you "didn't" present it then, it's that you "couldn't"! The judge
now asks you to present something to prove that your conduct was not
in violation of the law. Present the evidence law book - rule no. 2:
"Unregistered evidence presented must be relevant to the case in
trial"!
Indeed, Ema's print is on the cloth, but at that point of time, this
was merely a piece of cloth. It was impossible for you to prove that
this cloth has relevance to the SL-9 Incident. But when Gant stupidly
admits that he cut the cloth out from Neil's vest on the day of the
crime, at the crime scene, this evidence became relevant! This was
just like how Gant used you to get the switchblade now on record
earlier to confuse the investigation. You let him taste his own
medicine.
Now, enjoy the final moments of the trial. There's nothing else to do
now except to watch your stylish victory.
Oh, you'll need the explanation as to why he killed Goodman too. So,
here it goes: Marshall and Angel were adamant in re-opening the SL-9
case, but they've no avail. When Goodman lost his ID card, and
borrowed Gant's card to do the transferal for the SL-9 case that day,
he finally asked Gant to re-open the case. It was then that Gant knew
he had to kill Goodman, which was why the murder was so hastily
committed, in the police department's evidence room.
That's it, you've won the case! Well done, ace attorney. You'll be
rewarded with a smile from Lana - even though she'll still be
charged for all sorts of other reasons.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: February 25, 5:03pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You've one final decision to make here. Edgeworth reveals his decision
to resign again, but Lana tells him that he isn't alone. He has you!
She'll then ask you to show Edgeworth an evidence from this case that
neither Edgeworth nor you would have been able to find our your own.
Present the the evidence list - you've half of it, Edgeworth has half
of it. Oh, the love.
Go through the conversation, which will eventually lead to the
another ending and credits. Congratulations, you've beaten Gyakuten
Saiban: Yomigaeru Gyakuten! Remember to shout "OBJECTION!" into your
mic for one last time towards the end, before the credits roll!
NOTE: At the end of the credits, you'll need to rotate a book to see
a picture of a younger Lana (in police uniform) and Ema.

9. CONCLUSION
======================================================================
So, this is it. One of the best games I've played this year comes to a
conclusion. I don't know about you, but as a fan of mystery novels,
this game certainly appeals to me. This is also the main reason why I
decided to write a FAQ/Walkthrough for it.
Still, as this is the longest walkthrough I've written so far, I'm glad
I was able to complete it. For a while, writing it has interfered with
my daily life so much that I considered giving it up. But emails of
encouragement and positive feedback kept me going, and I'm proud to
present this full version of document to you.
The challenge, as I always say, is obviously for you to try solving
the crime by yourself, and only referring to this document when you're
stuck. The game is quite easy, but the linear nature of it also means
that you could get stuck at various stages if you don't know what to
do next. I hope you'll find this document useful when you encounter
these issues.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to check out my other works, please go to

Last but not least, I wish you all the best in the game.

ask here. If you've something that you're not sure, feel free to write
in and I'll try my best to answer them - but please do so only after
the guide is completed!
Q: I understand that the Japanese version of this game has a fully
translated English game bundled in. I'd like to know how's the
translation. Is it good enough for me to complete the game without
having to reply on further translations?
A: Yes, the translation is more than adequate for you to complete the
game. In fact, I don't consider it a translation at all. I believe
that the English version in this game will be very close to what will
be released in October as the US version of this game, perhaps only
with some minor cosmetic differences.
Q: I did an "OBJECTION!" during the cross-examination as you
suggested in the guide, but the judge replied saying that he doesn't
see anything to object about. Why is it so?
A: You could've objected on the wrong statement that the witness is
saying. You must object at the actual statement of contradiction. For
example, object when the witness says "I saw the body at 1:00pm"
instead of when he/ she says "Yes, that's what I saw", even though the
second sentence may have come immediately after the first.
Q: If I object wrongly, what will happen?
A: The judge will reprimand you. Do it a few more times and you'll,
yes, you'll lose the case.
Q: How often can I save?
A: You can save as often as you can, and as and when you can. The game
will restart at the exact point that you saved. Very nice.
Q: I'm stuck during the cross-examination with Redd White in Episode
Two. I've done everything, pressed him, presented all items I've, yet
he doesn't bulge. What should I do?
A: This is answered in the walkthrough. Read it to find out how to
get out of this situation.
Q: What's the "Initial Trial" system mentioned so many times in the
game?
A: This was introduced because the court had so many cases, they
decided to speed up the process. Under this system, all trials have
to end in three days. Which means, an attorney will only have these
time frame to gather clues for helping his or her client.
Q: How do I make the unstable jar look like the Blue Badger?
A: I'm glad to say that after asking around, I found someone who
managed to help me explain this much better - in the form of diagrams
and an actual screenshot! Please check the walkthrough for more
details.
Q: "I followed every step you wrote, and yet ________________ (insert
event) didn't happen. WHY???"
A: The MOST popular question I've received so far. Everyday, and I
mean, everyday, I get a question like this in my inbox. Now, I'm
pretty sure thatI've everything covered. Ten times out of ten, a
person who asks this question will eventually write back and tell me
that he/ she didn't actually "follow every step I wrote". All I can
say is that, if you find that an event that is supposed to happen
didn't, you *may* have have missed a step. The best way to solve the
problem is to backtrack and find out what it is.
Have questions? Email me at lestor_wong at yahoo.com. Please include
a subject and try to type in proper English. I understand that not
all people can type perfect English, I mean, I know I can't. But at
least try to make it easier for me to understand what you're asking,
or I may have no choice but to ignore the mail. Anyhow, I'll try to
answer all mails if I've the time, so feel free to write.

APPENDIX 3. EASTER EGGS
======================================================================
This is contributed by Richforce:
EPISODE FIVE - EVIDENCE ROOM
----------------------------
In the evidence room, when you examine some junk next to the lockers,
you¡¯ll find the fishing pole and metal detector featured in Episode
Four, along with a ¡°radiolocator¡±. This locator was referred to as a
wave receiver in Episode 4 of Gyakuten Saiban 2. The rival prosecutor
of the game, who happens to be the daughter of Manfred von Karma, used
it to keep tabs on Gumshoe during the case, to make sure that he
didn¡¯t help you. It also became a decisive evidence late in the game.
EPISODE FIVE - GANT'S ROOM
--------------------------
When you input the code on Gant's safe, look at the upper right hand
corner of the top screen, and you¡¯ll see a logo that says ¡°KB¡±. In
Episode Two of Gaykuten Saiban 3, a security group called the KB
Corporation is featured quite prominently.
