Just so you know, if you need to skip to a certain part of the walkthrough,
just hit the Ctrl and F buttons at the same time and type in the name of
the case you want to see. Stop bugging me that you can't find something
in this walkthrough.
==========================================
~1.The Gyakuten Saiben Series~
==========================================
Phoenix Wright obviously didn't originate in America, nor did any other
video game you've probably played. In Japan, the Phoenix Wright series is
known as Gyakuten Saiben. This roughly translates into "Turnabout Court".
If you were curious why every case is named Turnabout ____ then that is
the answer.
The GS series contains four games so far. The first three in the series
were actually GBA games, and the fourth one is for the DS. If you are
curious why there is little touch screen interaction it is because Capcom
decided to put the GBA Gyakuten Saiben series on the DS in America. Not
that it's a bad thing. The title was also changed outside of Japan, from
"Turnabout Court" to "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney".
Several minor things also changed during the translation from Japan to
States side. Gyakuten Saiben takes place in Tokyo while Phoenix Wright is
speculated to take place in Los Angeles. Although it is not confirmed,
several notions in the game make it apparent that Phoenix Wright takes
place in California. Also, some pictures within the game were switched from
Japanese inscriptions into English. However, some Japanese writing can
still be found if you know where to look.
Remember one last thing-Japanese law is different than America's law. Don't
be confused under the "guilty until proven innocent" ordeal, it's not a big
deal. Also, this game takes place in 2016. Hence the possibility of these
laws actually being true.
==========================================
~2.Controls~
==========================================
The controls for Phoenix Wright are pretty simple. You'll get used to them
quickly.
A button-Scroll through text that characters are saying, confirm option,
look at details of evidence and profiles
B button-Back out of a selection, hold to skip through text quickly
X button-Push this when highlighting evidence to present it
Y button-Hold this and yell into the microphone when presenting evidence
(more fun than just pressing the X button)
Control Pad-Scroll through all selections
L button-No use
R button-Brings up the court record
Start-Brings up the menu to save your game
Note:Some of these controls are only availble inside court, and others only
outside of it. Most of them coincide, however.
==========================================
~3.Events In and Out of Court~
==========================================
Phoenix will have to do many things inside and outside of the courtroom in
order to prove his clients are innocent. Through these events he will
uncover the truth, pick out who really did the crime, gather evidence, and
meet many unusual characters.
----------------
Outside of Court
----------------
INVESTIGATION-This is what the entire process outside of court is. Phoenix
will stroll around different key areas in the city in his investigation.
Once you have learned all the necessary information and have retrieved all
the evidence possible, the investigation will end and court will begin
(after the chance to save your progress). There are several different
things you will be able to do on your investigations.
MOVE-Pretty self explainatory. Phoenix will have to go to many different
locations on his investigations. Select move to bring up a list of places
you can visit. Note that many areas branch off into different areas. For
example, pressing move will bring up Area A and Area B. However, you can
only visit Area C by moving in Area B. Don't overlook that detail.
TALK-In many areas there will be a person you are able to talk to. Once you
select this option, several boxes will appear with topics you can talk to
the person about. Once you talk to them about said topic it will have a
red checkmark appear next to it so you don't confuse yourself. Many people,
especially key witnesses and even the real killer, won't have every topic
possible to talk to them about listed right away. You will need to pry the
options out of them by either talking to them about previous topics, or
get some dirt from other people in the overworld.
PRESENT-If you are infront of a person you can choose this to examine the
evidence you have collected so far. From there you can choose an item to
show the person you are talking to. If the person tells you something along
the lines of "What is that?", "I have no business with that item" and so on
then the item in question isn't going to get you anywhere with that person.
Some items when presented will make the person confess to secrets they have
been hiding. Other times they will hand you more evidence, or even allow
you to ask them about more topics. Don't freak out-there's no penalty for
wasting someone's time. Present things often if you are stuck as it may
unlock something new for you to continue.
EXAMINE-In every area there is a scene. Obviously. Many of the areas you
visit will have something odd there. Sometimes its an item that just
doesn't fit in with the rest of the scenery, sometimes it isn't as obvious
and you will need to look everything over. Once again, if you are ever out
of options, return to areas you have visited and examine every detail you
are capable of looking at. You may just find a vital piece of evidence or
clue that can help you along your way.
---------------
Inside of Court
---------------
TESTIMONY-Whenever a witness is called to the stand by the prosecution, the
witness will recount the events specific to the case in a testimony. Your
objective is to find parts of the testimony that contradict evidence you
have or statements already mentioned in the past. You won't be able to
object here, so just pay attention until the testimony is finished.
CROSS EXAMINATION-Phoenix, as a defense attorney, will need to cross
examine the witnesses on their testimonies after they finish saying them.
Your main objective here is, of course, to find the one mistake that the
witness places in their testimony and expose their lies. You can scroll
through any line of text said in the testimony, forwards or backwards.
Once you find the spot where there is a clear contradiction you will need
to present evidence supporting your theory. However, if you present the
wrong evidence or present it at the wrong statement in the testimony, the
Judge will become angered at your attempt to frame the witness and
penalize you. On the top screen of the DS you should notice five
exclamation points. These are basically your "lives" in court. Whenever you
present something incorrectly the Judge will take one of your lives. If you
ever lose all of your lives in court then the Judge will see no need to
question the witness further and your client will be instantly delcared
Guilty. Basically, Game Over. You will have to restart from the last saved
point if such an event occurs.
PRESSING-On the top-left side of the touch screen you will see a "Press"
button. During a testimony you can press any and all statements that the
witness says. After Phoenix yells "Hold it!" he will question the witness
further on what they just said. Sometimes you will find contradictions
right away from pressing statements. This will cause the witness to revise
that statement of the testimony. Occasionally you will have to make choices
when pressing. The available options appear on the bottom screen. Usually
it is "Press further" and "Back off". Pressing further can cause the
witness to reveal something that will seriously benefit your case, or
completely shatter your hopes and open mind the Judge into coming closer
to calling the defendent Guilty. Pressing statements will never deal you
penalties, however in a few rare circumstances they actually will. In these
cases you will be warned beforehand that you will get penalized. Don't play
with fire if you can't afford to be burned.
PRESENTING-The most important part of your cross examination is presenting
the right evidence to expose the lies thrown in the witness' testimonies.
Push R or tap the Court Record button to bring up the Court Record. Here is
where all the evidence and important info for the case is kept. Push the
Profiles button to see a bio on everybody currently involved in the case.
When you select a piece of evidence you wish to present, highlight it and
press the Present button of push the X button. Phoenix will yell his famous
"OBJECTION!" line, or in some cases "TAKE THAT!". During testimonies, you
will know you presented the right evidence if the music stops playing. If
it continues, expect to be penalized.
==========================================
~4.Characters~
==========================================
Here are all of the characters you will find in the game. They are listed
in order generally of when you will meet them (case by case). Several
characters are featured in multiple cases. Also note that almost every name
is a pun in some way.
Phoenix Wright-The character you play as and a newbie defense attorney. You
will control all of Phoenix's actions throughout the game although he will
do most of the talking. His name is commonly played around with; his
close friends call him "Nick" and most of his foes hassle him by calling
him Mr. Wrong.
Larry Butz-Larry has been Phoenix's best friend since grade school and in
the first case is accused of murder. Larry was generally known for being
the person the cause trouble wherever he went. He's a bit emotional, and
anything said will cause him to explode in anger and rant about how what
was just said is bogus information.
Mia Fey-Mia is the head defense attorney at Fey and Co. Law Offices. She is
also your mentor. Mia will help you along in the first case, but don't get
too attached to her. She becomes the victim in the second case.
Cindy Stone-She is the victim in the first case. She was an international
model and for a period of time was dating Larry Butz. She was killed by a
sharp blow to the head.
Winston Payne-The prosecutor for the first case. He isn't very good at
getting the message he tries to say to the Judge and often calls most of
what Phoenix objects to nonsense.
The Judge-The ruler of the court, the Judge is somebody that everyone must
respect. He calls final judgement on the defendent. He often asks questions
when you present evidence so he can get a better understanding of what is
going on and the point Mr. Wright is trying to get across.
Frank Sahwit-Frank supposedly is a newspaper salesman who happened to see
Larry Butz fleeing the crime scene. He phoned the police after seeing that
Cindy was murdered. His testimony in court has plenty of lies you will need
to expose.
Miles Edgeworth-The main prosecutor you'll be going up against through the
rest of the game. He has a severe hatred towards criminals and Phoenix,
and will do anything to get a guilty verdict in his favor.
Dick Gumshoe-A detective on the police force, he commonly heads the
investigations led by the police. You'll quickly get to know and like him
and even though he technically works for Edgeworth he is more than willing
to help Phoenix by providing him with evidence and information.
April May-The main witness for the case. Claims she saw someone strike Mia
with a blunt object.
Marvin Grossberg-A famous and well rounded attorney. He was also Mia's
mentor when she was a beginning attorney.
Bellboy-Works at the Gatewater Hotel where April May saw the murder.
Redd White-The CEO of the information gathering company Bluecorp. Has
blackmailed hundreds of people, most of them famous and wealthy.
Will Powers-The defendent. Plays the Steel Samurai on the show with the
same name. Alledgedly killed Jack Hammer.
Jack Hammer-The victim. Played the Evil Magistrate on the kids show "The
Steel Samurai".
Wendy Oldbag-An old security guard at Global Studios. Constantly rants
about life. Claims she saw Powers herself heading towards the scene of the
crime.
Penny Nichols-The stage assistant at Global Studios. Wasn't anywhere near
the scene of the crime, victim or proclaimed murder at all on the day of
the crime.
Sal Manella-The director of "The Steel Samurai". Clearly a internet nerd
seeing as he speaks 1337 (or essentially internet chatroom speak) in every
other word he says.
Cody Hackins-Huge Steel Samurai fanboy. Constantly sneaks into the studio
hoping to catch an action scene. Witnessed the entire murder.
Dee Vasquez-Head producer at Global Studios.
Manfred von Karma-Edgeworth's mentor. Has never lost a case as a prosecutor
in 40 years.
Lotta Hart-She camped out a Gourd Lake to look for shooting stars, but
instead captured the photo of the murder taking place on the lake.
Robert Hammond-The victim. Was the defense attorney in the DL-6 incident.
Misty Fey-The mother of Mia and Maya. Went off into seclusion after trying
to contact the spirit world to see who the real murderer in the DL-6
incident was and failed.
Gregory Edgeworth-Miles' father. Killed in an elevator during the DL-6
incident. Was a veteran defense attorney.
Yanni Yogi-An old bat and owner of the boat rental shop on Gourd Lake.
Claims he doesn't know his own name and has little memory.
Polly-Yogi's parrot. Happens to know several key important facts for some
reason.
Ema Skye-She's a high school student aiming to be a scientific
investigator. She'll follow you around in the final case much like Maya
used to.
Lana Skye-Ema's sister. She is the Chief Prosecutor and has confessed to
murdering Bruce Goodman.
Bruce Goodman-The victim. He was a detective in homicide incidents.
Jake Marshall-Investigator in this case. Dresses and talks like he's in
the wild west.
Angel Starr-Claims to have seen Lana Skye kill Goodman. She was once a
famous detective on the police force, but was fired and has since become
a lunch lady in her own resturant.
Mike Meekins-A police officer. Soon suspected of killing Goodman in a
different location.
Damon Gant-Despite being a creepy looking guy, he is the Chief of the
police district. Seems to be very trustworthy.
Blue Badger-This awesome guy is the mascot of the police force. He's
awesome and you know it!
==========================================
~5.Episode 1-The First Turnabout~
==========================================
As soon as you choose to play the first case you will be shown a short
cutscene. You will see a woman lying on the floor, dead, as blood slowly
oozes out from her head. You'll then see some odd looking object with blood
on it, and then the murderer with a exasperated look on him. He is shocked
at what he just had to do. He didn't want to get caught by the police,
obviously. Looking out of the door he sees a man walking in the opposite
direction and quickly devises a plan to frame him.
----------------------------------------------
Date-August 3, 9:47 AM
Location-District Court; Defendent Lobby No. 2
----------------------------------------------
Now the game has offcially begun. Obviously, you play as Phoenix Wright
through the game. All the action in the game (mainly the dialogue) takes
place on the top screen. You can scroll through text by pressing the button
on the bottom screen or pushing the A button.
The top right corner of the touch screen has a "Court Record" icon. Tap R
or push the button to open up the court record. This is where all of the
evidence pertaining to the case you are working on is stored. Tap an item
to get details about it. You will always have our Attorney's Badge, of
course.
Click Cindy's Autopsy Report. It's a description of how she died. "Time
of death:7/31, 4PM-5PM; Cause of death:loss of blood due to blunt trauma."
Also, you can press R again to see the profiles screen. Anybody involved
in the current case is mentioned here with a short bio. The only people
here now are Mia Fey who is your boss, Larry Butz the defendent, and Cindy
Stone who was the victim.
Head back to the conversation with Mia at the beginning. Good job taking on
a murder trial as your first case. Good encouragement, Mia! You will
mention you sorta owe your client a favor. Apparently he is the one that
made Phoenix want to become a defense attorney in the first place.
At that time, someone comes busting in screaming his life is all over. You
will talk to Phoenix's lifelong friend, Larry Butz. He's kinda wanting to
be declared "Guilty" right from the getgo. He'll mention that he was
Cindy's boyfriend for a while. He can't go on with her dead and all. He
demands to know who killed her (and of course all signs point to Larry at
this time).
Phoenix will then enter a monologue about his case. As you know, someone
was killed in their apartment and the man arrested was Larry, Phoenix's
friend. (Also note Phoenix has known Larry since he was 1 year old. Damn)
Although Larry's often the source of trouble, Phoenix knows he isn't
guilty.
Trial time!
----------------------------------------
Date-August 3, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 2
----------------------------------------
The Judge will call the court to order for the trial of Larry Butz. Phoenix
obviously appears a tad nervious, and the Judge can see it too. Because
this is his first case and a murder trial to boot, the Judge wants to ask
Phoenix several questions pertaining to this case to ensure the Phoenix
has at least some clue of what he's doing.
Firstly you will need to say the defendent of the case. This should be
quite obvious. Choose Larry Butz. The next question will ask you who was
the victim. Phoenix knows the answer...but suddenly forgets it. Good way
to combat nerves! Check the profile screen and you'll find out it's Cindy
Stone. Choose that option. Finally, you will need to mention the cause of
death. Refer to the Autopsy Report. Choose that she was killed by a blunt
object.
The Judge will ask the prosecutor, Winston Payne, what the murder weapon
was. He will explain that it was a statue of "The Thinker". It ended up
lying near the victim. STATUE added to the Court Record. Mia will mention
that you should always check the bio for evidence whenever you get it. It
is best to know what something is after all. Although it may seem useless,
one small detail can change a whole case!
Payne will now call Larry Butz to the stand. You'll be noted to pay
attention to what Larry says as it can easily affect your case, for better
of worse. Heh. Since Larry's an excitible oddball this could be trouble.
Larry will remark that Cindy most certainly had not dumped him using a
comical comparison. Of course, if she wasn't talking to him at all for a
while Payne will remark that we generally describe that as being "dumped".
Worst of all, Payne will mention Cindy was seeing other men. This really
upsets Larry. Payne will bring out a passport that shows Cindy was in Paris
the day before she died.
PASSPORT is added to the Court Record. Note she was in Paris. Larry will
be asked what he think of Cindy now that she was seeing other men. Choose
to "Stop him from answering". It IS an irrelevant question, so Payne gets
a tad nervous. Payne gets back his composure by asking whether or not Larry
had gone to see Cindy that day at her apartment. Larry gets a bit cocky
with this question, so have Phoenix make him "Answer honestly". (Note:I
generally put quotations around the answers you should choose when asked
questions). Larry will mention he did go to Cindy's room, but she wasn't
home.
Too bad for Butz, Payne exclaims he is lying. He has a witness who say
Larry running from the scene of the crime. This man saw the crime scene
and the dead body, and then phoned the police. Payne will call Mr. Frank
Sahwit to the stand.
Hmmm...doesn't he look familar? Kinda like the guy holding The Thinker in
the opening cutscene? You will now hear Sahwit's testimony. Afterwards
the Judge will ask for your Cross Examination. Phoenix somehow has no idea
what that means. Mia will remind you-it's where you poke through the
witness' testimony and expose their lies. Let's get to it!
--------------------------------------
~Sahwit's Testimony-Witness's Account~
--------------------------------------
-I was going door-to-door, selling subscriptions when I saw a man fleeing
an apartment.
-I thought he must be in a hurry because he left the door half-open behind
him.
-Thinking it strange, I looked inside the apartment.
-Then I saw her lying there...A woman...not moving...dead!
-I quailed in fright and found myself unable to go outside.
-I thought to call the police immediately!
-However, the phone in her apartment wasn't working.
-I went to a nearby park and found a public phone.
-I remember the time exactly:It was 1:00 PM.
-The man who ran was, without a doubt, the defendent sitting right over
there.
After Sahwit gives his testimony (before you can Cross Examine him), the
Judge will mention why didn't the phone work. Payne explains that there was
a blackout during the time. BLACKOUT RECORD is added to the Court Record.
The power was out from 12 PM to 6 PM that day.
Now comes the fun part! Finding the contradictions! It is a long testimony,
but something may strike as odd. You can Press these statements by choosing
a statement and hitting the Press button. Press the statements as you see
fit (there's no penalizations for doing so), but definately Press the
seventh statement about how the phone wasn't working. How would he know if
he didn't go into her apartment? He'll cover up his mistake by saying he
reached for a coordless phone near the door. It didn't work, however.
Press the first statement as well. Phoenix mentions seeing a man leave an
apartment isn't all that suspicious. Hmm. The third statement about Sahwit
peeking into the apartment is also suspicious. He claims its only natural
to be curious about these things. Payne cuts him off, though, so maybe he's
trying to cover something up.
Finally, press the 9th statement, about the time of murder. 1:00 PM? Mia
will mention that sounds odd. Infact, if you recall the Autopsy Report,
Cindy was killed between 4PM and 5PM! Not 1 PM! Present Cindy's Autopsy
Report at this statement.
Phoenix will object to this statement and present the evidence. Sahwit will
act a tad nervous and confused at this evidence. He will then quickly
remember how he knew the time through another testimony.
------------------------------------------
~Sahwit's Testimony-The Time of Discovery~
------------------------------------------
-You see, when I found the body, I heard the time.
-There was a voice saying the time...It was probably coming from the
television.
-Oh, but it was three hours off, wasn't it?
-I guess the victim must have been watching a video of a taped program!
-That's why I thought it was 1:00 PM!
-Terribly sorry about the misunderstanding...
You won't get too much information by pressing these statements, but the
second statement where he mentions he heard something from the television
is odd. If you press that statement, Mia will also agree with your
suspicions. Problem is, its impossible for that television to have been on
in the first place! Present the Blackout Record at the second statement.
Sahwit is seriously starting to fall apart here. He's confused about the
mysterious voice that said the time too. Phoenix is sure he really does
know about it, though. The Judge will ask for yet another testimony.
-------------------------------------
~Sahwit's Testimony-Hearing the Time~
-------------------------------------
-Actually, I didn't "hear" the time...I "saw" it!
-There was a table clock in the apartment, wasn't there!
-Yeah, the murder weapon! The killer used it to hit the victim!
-That must have been what I saw.
Sahwit is becoming less talkative. Press the first statement. Seems odd
that a table clock hasn't been mentioned yet. Press the third statement,
the one about the murder weapon, afterwards. The heck? Since when was that
statue actualy a table clock? Fairly obvious-present the Statue at this
statement.
Phoenix will bring up the point that The Thinker statue isn't a clock. So
how DID Sahwit know the time? He still insists its a damn clock. Payne
soon confirms it actually is a clock. All you need to do is flip the neck
a little and it will speak the time.
Crap. Sahwit wasn't lying there. The Judge will ask if you have an problems
with this testimony still. Answer "Yes". After all, it could only be known
this was a clock if the witness held it. However, he never went into the
apartment. Phoenix will say Sahwit knew it was a clock for one of two
reasons. Choose "Went into the apartment".
Phoenix is now pressuring Sahwit and accusing him of being the one who
killed Cindy. By hitting her with the clock, it made the statue speak the
time. That voice burned through his mind. Sahwit spazzes out, flings his
toupee at Phoenix, and starts screaming. The Judge asks how you can prove
he heard the clock. Choose "Try sounding the clock". The clock will respond
"I think it's 8:25". Most certainly intriguing. 8:25 is a 3 hour difference
from the current time, 11:25.
However...so what? What's the three hour difference have to with anything?
Was ir really like that the day of the murder? Before the verdict is called
Mia will step in and exclaim to Phoenix to get a hold on this case. He can
prove the clock was three hours slow. Choose "Yes" when asked if you know
why it was slow. Time to pull out the final blow-present the Passport.
You will see that the clock had been set to Paris's time zone-9 hours
ahead. The clock never did say AM or PM so it could have been either way.
Since the victim never reset the clock, it stayed that way through the
murder.
And then Sahwit collapses. He gets arrested right away, and the Judge is
ready to pass his verdict. Larry Butz is "Not Guilty"! Whoo! Not sure
why there is cheering and confetti, but who cares?
----------------------------------------------
Date-August 3, 2:32 PM
Location-District Court; Defendent Lobby No. 2
----------------------------------------------
Mia will congratulate you on your first court victory. Shame Larry isn't
feeling the same way. He's still as glum as ever despite being declared
not guilty. Apparently he can't stop think his girlfriend didn't care
about him. Mia calls Larry "Harry" (combine that with his last name...),
get a chuckle out of that.
Phoenix of course gets no credit from Larry, who is kissing up to Mia. He
gives her The Thinker as a keepsake. Mia will mention that Cindy actually
did care about Larry and you have the evidence to prove it. Present The
Thinker once again. For her to carry that thing everywhere, she obviously
cared about him.
...and that's it. Good job solving the first case.
==========================================
~6.Episode Two-Turnabout Sisters~
==========================================
The opening cutscene this time around is a bit different than what it was
last time around. It starts with a phone conversation between Mia and her
younger sister Maya. Mia is requesting that Maya to hold a piece of
evidence for her. It just so happens that it's The Thinker statue again.
Mainly because she's worried something may happen to the evidence. However,
Mia took out the clockwork in the statue in order to make room for some
important papers that is to be used as evidence in an upcoming trial. The
conversation gets recorded on September 5, 9:27 AM.
===================
Day 1-Investigation
===================
------------------------------
Date-September 5, 8:57 PM
Location-Fey & Co. Law Offices
------------------------------
Someone is in the room ahead of you. Somebody is talking to Mia, demanding
something about some papers. Then, in order for this to remain a secret
the man picks up The Thinker and whams it through Mia's skull. Once again
you gets to see the murderer's face. Kinda creepy. Before dying, Mia
mutters "Red....White....Blue". You'll understand this cryptic message
later through the case.
------------------------------
Date-September 5, 9:08 PM
Location-Fey & Co. Law Offices
------------------------------
And here comes Phoenix. Apparently, Mia, her sister, and Phoenix were
planning to go out to dinner together. At that moment, Phoenix smells
blood. He becomes a bit worried at what has happened. You will be
introduced to the investigation mode now. You have only two options here.
You can choose Examine to search the room for clues. There's nothing of
interest here, though. You can also Move to a different location. Choose
Move and go to the only other place available, the Office.
Phoenix clearly smells blood in here, but not before hearing someone
crying right next to Mia's fallen body. The girl will stand up, and you'll
inquiry who she is. She'll pass out after that. Mia's body is still warm
up until where you touch her, then the heat escapes all too quickly. Mia
must have been killed very recently.
Choose the Examine the room. Choose the examine Mia's body first. She was
struck on the head by a blunt object. The Thinker lies next to her. Once
again, THE THINKER is added to the Court Record. Near Mia's body as well
are some glass light shards from a stand that must have shattered from
this incident. GLASS SHARDS are added to the Court Record. Finally,
Phoenix will notice a piece of paper that is lying near Mia's hands. It
has the word "Maya" written upon it, and from the blood on her finger it
appears that Mia must have been the one who wrote the message on the paper.
Choose to examine the piece of paper on the ground to confirm these
suspicions. You will notice that this paper is actually a department store
receipt dated September 4. RECEIPT is added to the Court Record. Phoenix
will now mention he should call the police. Examine the phone on Mia's
desk. Problem is, the phone is missing some screws and won't work. The
murderer must not have wanted anybody calling the police.
As if this can't get any worse, a loud scream is audible from outside. A
woman looking out of her window across the street is phoning the police,
apparently seeing Phoenix and assuming he is the murderer. There's nothing
you can do about her, or anything else in this room. Head back to Fey & Co.
Law Offices (the previous room).
The girl will have woken up and will talk to Phoenix now. She will explain
that she is Maya Fey, Mia's sister. It is probably her name that is written
on the receipt that Mia wrote. Two new options open up. You can Talk to
Maya on certain topics, or you can Present her with items from the Court
Record in hopes that she will comment about something. Choose to talk to
her first about "What happened?".
Maya came into the office not too long ago and apparently Mia was already
dead. This pretty much rules Maya out as the murderer. Ask about "You and
the Chief" next. Maya will confirm that she is Mia's younger sister. She
will mention she was here this late at night only because she was needed
to hold a piece of evidence for Mia. She'll note it was a clock, The
Thinker.
Don't feel too bad about doing this, but present the Receipt to her. Maya
will exclaim why Mia would have written her name on this receipt. Real
smart Phoenix.
Just then, you will hear the police coming up to the office building.
Detective Dick Gumshoe will race up to intervene you guys. Get used to
Gumshoe, you'll be seeing him. A lot. He'll mention that the woman you saw
earlier did phone the police and they ran down here as soon as possible.
Gumshoe will then find the Receipt that has the name "Maya" written on it.
He'll ask Maya if that's her name, and of course she will say it is. He
will note Mia wrote it in her own blood. Based on this evidence, Gumshoe
will arrest Maya immediately and take her down to the Detention Center.
Phoenix will feel awful at these turn of events. He gets taken in for
questioning along with Maya, unable to sleep all through the night. He
must talk to Maya as soon as possible in order to get information on this
case.
-----------------------------------------
Date-September 6, 9:07 AM
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
It's depressing to see Maya locked up like this. She will ask if you are
going to be her attorney. Be a good guy and choose "Of course I will".
Maya probably wasn't expecting you to say yes so she appears even further
depressed. She'll explain there's no way anybody could believe her case.
She doubts even Phoenix believes her, seeing as you saw her next to Mia's
dead body.
Maya also says the Mia talked about you in another phone conversation.
Mia said that you performed well in court, but she said you still need
more experience, several years worth, before you can tackle bigger cases.
Mia also said not to hire Phoenix unless she wants to be declared "Guilty".
(Good thing Mia's dead or Phoenix would blow his top!). Phoenix does want
to do something, though. Now you can talk to Maya. Start off with "Maya"
to talk about her outfit. She says she's an acolyte, or basically a spirit
medium.
Talk about "The day of the crime" next. She says she got a call from Mia
earlier that morning to pick up a piece of evidence for a trial. She
forgets the details of the conversation, but remembers that she recorded
the conversation on her cell phone. Talk about "Your cell phone" next of
course. Phoenix will request that he hears it right now. However, Gumshoe
took away her cell phone when she was arrested. Maya will write you a note
to the detective requesting that her cell phone gets returned to her.
MAYA'S MEMO is added to the Court Record.
You can talk about "The day of the crime" again. Maya will tell it a bit
differently, saying how she smelt blood before entering. Finally, mention
"Spirit mediums". The entire Fey family, more so the women, have some sort
of connections to the spirit world. Yes, Mia was also a spirit medium.
Creepy stuff. She decided she would rather be a lawyer than a full
fledged medium, though, and came here. Maya's powers aren't strong enough
yet, so she is unable to contact Mia's spirit and ask who killed her. Boy,
what an eays case this would be if we could.
Maya will ask you to go to the address of a famous lawyer. Mia said to go
to him if she was ever in trouble. Don't be an ass, choose to "Accept" her
offer to do this favor. Trial begins tomorrow so you have little time to
get this case together, or the lawyer that hopefully can do this case at
least. Move to Grossberg Law Offices now.
------------------------------
Date-September 6
Location-Grossberg Law Offices
------------------------------
Well...there's nothing here. Grossberg is gone for now and won't be back
until later. Might as well get back Maya's cell phone now. Head to Fey &
Co. Law Offices.
------------------------------
Date-September 6
Location-Fey & Co. Law Offices
------------------------------
Detective Gumshoe will be here in the office, along with a bunch of
officers searching for clues. You'll be prompted to remember his name.
Choose "Detective Gumshoe". He thinks you're Maya's lawyer so in his eyes
you have a right to be here. Eh. Talk to him about "Mia" first. Phoenix
will ask if he has an autopsy report. AUTOPSY REPORT is added to the
Court Record once Gumshoe gives in. The report states the obvious-She was
killed by a blunt force trauma. Death was instantaneous. But hey, we need
this proof for court.
Talk about "Maya" next. Gumshoe remarks you have no chance of winning this
trial. It is because prosecutor Edgeworth is going to be in this trial,
and he hasn't lost a trial yet. He will do anything to get a guilty
verdict. The topic for "Edgeworth" appears after that, so discuss it. You
don't knonw much about Edgeworth for real (although Phoenix technically
does) so choose "Of course not!" to get more of a bio behind him.
Remember out real business here. Choose to present Maya's Memo to Gumshoe.
Gumshoe will remark that he does indeed have it with him. He's on to your
tricky lawyer games and refuses to hand it to you. "Tell him not-so-
straight" when prompted and Phoenix will totally lie about why the phone
is important to Maya. He says the strap is "important" to Maya and she
wants it back. Gumshoe understands this reasoning and is willing to give
it back. He wrote down everyone she called anyways so it's useless evidence
to him. MAYA'S CELL PHONE added to the Court Record.
Good thing Gumshoe didn't notice the phone conversation that was
recorded. You can choose the read this conversation at any time by choosing
the phone from the Court Record page. This will come in handy later on.
Gumshoe says that you shouldn't talk to the witness. He should have kept
his mouth shut since we never knew there WAS a witness. Gumshoe remarks
that she is Miss April May and she isn't allowed to head home until this
trial is over. This confirms that April May is staying at the hotel across
the street from Fey & Co. Law Offices. Great deductive reasoning. Let's
pay her a visit. Move to the Gatewater Hotel.
-----------------------------------
Date-September 6
Location-Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
-----------------------------------
April May will greet you upon your entrance. Not sure why she gladly
allows you in her room but... Yeah. It doesn't help April starts the
conversation by flirting with Phoenix. What an awkward position. She'll be
excited that a lawyer, namely you, is here and wants to freshen up for a
minute. Take this time to examine the room.
Firstly, the most obvious thing would be to check if April really could see
Fey & Co. Law Offices from this room. Examine the window. Sadly, it's true.
The inside of the room is easily visible. However, its hard to distinctly
see anything. If you look on the table right below the windowsill you will
spot two glasses. What? Seems a bit odd. April May seems to be by herself.
Perhaps there is a mysterious second party we don't know about yet.
This last piece you need to examine may not seem that obvious. In one of
the drawers there is a screwdriver clearly sticking out. Before you have a
chance to examine the drawer, April comes back and acts all defensive about
it. Something is in there, but until she leaves we can't find out. Ugh.
You can try talking to April, but she will just exclaim that if you want
any info you will have to wait until court tomorrow. What a useless pile
of...
In any case, let's check in on Grossberg and see if he's back now.
------------------------------
Date-September 6
Location-Grossberg Law Offices
------------------------------
Grossberg will suddenly appear. He'll recongnize you as a lawyer right
away. As soon as Phoenix mentions Maya, Grossberg will change is attitude
towards the situation. Infact, he instantly refuses to take on the Maya's
case despite the fact you haven't even asked him yet. This sure isn't a
good spot to be in.
Talk to Grossberg about "Your refusal". Pheonix will mention Maya is Mia's
sister, and she trusted he would help Maya out. Phoenix says he would try
elsewhere, but Grossberg steps in and says that's not going to happen. No
lawyer will dare step in and take this case. Grossberg keeps hiding the
reason why, though. Talk to him about "Mia" next. Mia worked with Grossberg
quite a while ago. He was her mentor. Mia left, with some mission in her
eyes. Quite an amount of determination.
Finally, bring up "That painting". As ugly as it is, Grossberg likes it.
He has no need to part with it for no matter the price put on it. There
isn't much else you can really do with this geezer for now. We need to tell
Maya the bad news...somehow.
-----------------------------------------
Date-September 6, 3:42 PM
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
Phoenix will say that Maya shouldn't use Grossberg as her defense attorney.
We are still at square one, though. Somebody still has to help her in
court. Talk about the only new option available, "Your family". Maya's
father has been dead for a while and she has no idea where her mother is.
Talk about "Your mother" to dive deeper into this puzzle. The women in her
family have been mediums for generations. Maya's mother was involved in an
incident. Some man ruined her mother's life. She disappeared after that.
Mia decided to become a lawyer several years after that, possibly to find
out who did this.
Talk about "Your mother's enemy" next. In the incident, there were no leads
and the police had to resort to using a spirit medium to talk to the
murder victim. The case ended up getting solved, but the man declared
guilty was really innocent. The spirit had lied for some reason. This
incident was dealt in secrecy, but somebody spilled the beans. Her mother
was mocked far and wide. Maya mumbles "White" at the end of her speech.
That was the man who ruined her mother's life. It is 4:00 after this, and
you should choose to "Defend Maya". When asked why, "A can't abandon you"
is the best response.
One more problem remains-what the hell is inside the drawer in April May's
room? Before leaving, present Maya's Cell Phone to her. She wants to hear
Mia's voice once more. After you cheer her up (or make her sadder, depends
on the perspective), head back to the Gatewater Hotel.
-----------------------------------
Date-September 6
Location-Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
-----------------------------------
Once you are back in the hotel, the Bellboy will appear in April's room.
April isn't in the room right now so it's a better time than ever to
investigate the drawer. The Bellboy asks that you give April this message:
"Mr. White of Bluecorp called". White? Is this a connection to who Maya
mentioned earlier?
In any case, examine the screwdriver sticking out of the drawer again.
Phoenix will find none other than a wiretap inside the drawer. For those
who don't know, this thing is used to tap into phone lines so you can
hear private conversations without the speakers realizing it. What is April
doing with this thing anyways? WIRETAP is added to the Court Record.
None too late, Aprile will be returning to her room. Cheese it out of
there and get ready for court!
===========
Day 2-Trial
===========
----------------------------------------
Date-September 7, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 1
----------------------------------------
No wasting time; we enter court right away. Edgeworth will start off saying
there is decisive proof Maya killed Mia, as well as a witness who saw the
entire thing. Firstly, Edgeworth calls Detective Gumshoe to the stand. He
begins by presenting a floor map of Fey & Co. Law Offices. FLOOR PLANS are
added to the Court Record. Gumshoe claims he has "hard evidence" proving
Maya commited the murder.
---------------------------------------
~Gumshoe's Testimony-Maya Fey's Arrest~
---------------------------------------
-As soon as the phone call came in, I rushed to the scene!
-There were two people there already:
-The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey, and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
-I immediately arrested Ms. Maya Fey!
-Why? We had a witness account describing her!
-The witness saw Ms. Maya Fey at the very moment of the murder!
Before you can cross examine Gumshoe, Maya flings a note at your head.
Whenever Mia was stumped by a testimony, she'd bluff it and press every
statement she could. Eventually the witness would crack down. Couldn't
hurt to try it, right?
The first four statements will get you nowhere by pressing them, however
the fifth, about the witness' account, is suspicious. Phoenix will say that
Maya was arrested from "hard evidence". Why is one person's testimony hard
evidence? Too bad for Phoenix, though, Gumshoe has other means of proof.
The order of events was scrambled in his testimony, according to Gumshoe.
He is going to testify once more.
-----------------------------------
~Gumshoe's Testimony-Hard Evidence~
-----------------------------------
-After securing the suspect, I examined the scene of the crime with my own
eyes.
-I found a memo written on a piece of paper next to the victim's body!
-On it, the word "Maya" was written clearly in blood!
-Lab test results showed that the blood was the victim's!
-Also, there was blood found on the victim's finger!
-Before she died, the victim wrote the killer's name!
Press the final statement, about blood on the victim's finger. Isn't it
wierd that she would write the killer's name, especially her sister, of all
people? Clearly, something is wrong with this statement. Check out the
autopsy report. "...death was instantaneous". Kinda hard to write a note
when you die instantly, right? Present Mia's Autopsy Report.
As soon as Phoenix gets to the point of the argument, Edgeworth will
object to your little game. When asked when you got the autopsy report,
respond "The day after the murder". Sadly, Edgeworth states that report
is outdated. Edgeworth requested that a second autopsy report be made
yesterday. It reads "Death was almost immediate due to a blow from a blunt
object...but there is a possibility the victim lived for several minutes
after the blow."
Well that's not good. Edgeworth asks if you have anything to say, respond
"You're a sham, Edgeworth!" Why did Edgeworth really want a second report
made? He'll never say. Possibly this was forged evidence but we can't
prove that. AUTOPSY REPORT is updated in the Court Record.
Edgeworth will call the poor, innocent April May to testify. The audience
is on her side what with her sex appeal. This'll be a painful testimony
for Phoenix.
-------------------------------------------
~April May's Testimony-Witness's Testimony~
-------------------------------------------
-It was, like, 9:00 at night. I looked out the window, y'know!
-And then, oooh! I saw a woman with long hair being attacked!
-The one attacking her was the mousey girl sitting in the defendant's
chair!
-Then the woman, like, dodged to one side and ran away!
-But that girl, she caught up to her and...and...She hit her!
The Judge sees no reason to bother April May, but choose "Yes, I'll cross
examine" when asked anyways. Press her first statement. Nobody just
"randomly looks out their window hoping to find something". April keeps
quiet to avoid an answer. She's hiding the truth. Choose to "Go for it!"
in order to press further. She get's a surprised look when told she must
have a reason to look out the window. Edgeworth will stop you soon enough,
and the crowd will agree. Press the third statement. Phoenix will question
why she's so sure she saw Maya precisely. She responds she had a girlish
physique. Choose "I question the testimony" after Edgeworth comments on
this foolishness.
Phoenix yells that the testimony "stinks" (good use of words!). Phoenix is
willing to bet "You're lying". You'd think somebody would notice Maya's
bizzare choice of clothing rather than her physique. Nobody buy Maya would
dare wear those kind of clothes. April is trying to act confused, but it's
obvious she really isn't. Always forgetting the details, these witness's.
April will be asked to testify again.
-----------------------------------------
~April May's Testimony-Witness's Account~
-----------------------------------------
-I did see everything! I did!
-The victim--the woman--dodged the first attac and ran off to the right.
-Then the girl in the hippie clothes ran after her...
-And she hit her with that weapon! I saw it! I did!
-That...that clock! Um...the statue-y clock? The "The Thinker" I think?
Press the second statement, about Mia running off to the right. It's a
vague description about which right it happens to be. Mia dodged to our
right-or her left-for the door. Press the final statement, about The
Thinker. Phoenix will remember a statement very similar to this from his
previous case. Remember how Mr. Sahwit stated that The Thinker was a clock
and how it clearly doesn't look like one? Just like the previous case,
present The Thinker.
Quite a revealing statement. Once again, how did she know it was a clock?
Edgeworth will object, though, stating this is a pointles question. The
Judge will agree with your statement and allow you to continue the cross
examination. April says she heard it say the time when Maya hit Mia with
it. Just like the last case. Phoenix isn't satisfied because "It couldn't
have rung". The clock couldn't have rung because "It's empty". The Judge
will indeed confirm that The Thinker is missing its clockwork.
Edgeworth isn't distraught, though. He questions when the clockwork was
actually removed. It could easily have been removed after the murder.
You'll need to prove that it was missing before the murder. There's only
one thing that says that the clockwork is missing.
Present Maya's Cell Phone. The court will listen to the recorded
conversation, with confirms that Mia took out the clockwork several days
before the murder occured.
April still won't give in to your examination. She states that she has
seen the clock before at a store. Choose "Yes" when asked if you still
have any objections. That's impossible if you recall. Present The Thinker
once again to the Judge. The Thinker was handmade by Larry Butz. Only two
are currently in existance. One is in Phoenix's possession right now, the
other in police custody from the previous case. April says everything is
sold in stores. Yeah, right.
...and then April spazzes out and gets real mad. Scary mad. She'll regain
her composure and be asked how she knew it was a clock in the first place.
You'll need to provide evidence that April knew it was a clock in the
first place. Choose "You had heard about it". You'll need to show the proof
for this, though. Present Maya's Cell Phone once again. Part of the
conversation will be played again. Mia clearly states in the conversation
that The Thinker is a clock.
How did April hear this conversation? Present the Wiretap. It was found in
April's room after all. She must have used it to listen to Mia and Maya's
conversation. Edgeworth will object, but April's face clearly shows that
this is the truth. April decides to yell at everyone in the courtroom, how
they have no right to gang up on her like that. Too bad for her case. Then
she'll start crying hoping to get out of this alive. Ugh. Choose "You did
it, didn't you?" April will admit that she did indeed tap the phone.
She states the murder was at about 9:00 PM, and at that time she was in her
hotel room ordering room service from the Bellboy. She has a solid alibi.
She couldn't have killed Mia. You'll need to pull out something fast.
Choose to "Call the Bellboy as a witness". Perhaps he knows something.
Edgeworth will object to this idea, though. However, he'll agree on one
condition. If there's nothing wrong with the Bellboy's testimony, Maya
will be clared "Guilty" on the spot. You have no choice. "Accept the
condition". There better be something in this testimony...
---------------------------------------------
~Bellboy's Testimony-Miss May's Room Service~
---------------------------------------------
-I am the head bellboy at the fine Gatewater Hotel, in business for four
generations!
-I believe I recieved a call after 8:00 in the evening from our guest,
Miss May.
-She asked for an ice coffee to be brought to her at 9:00, on the dot, sir.
-I brought it to her at precisely the requested time, of course.
-And I delivered the ice coffee to our guest Miss May, herself.
Crap! There's clearly no contradiction in this testimony! Of course, why
would the bellboy lie? He's not involved directly in this murder. You will
need to press the bellboy on every single statement. You won't get much
information from any of the statements, however. Once you have done this,
Phoenix will realize there's nothing wrong with this testimony. Before the
bellboy leaves you can ask one more question. "Protest" to him leaving,
then ask him about any of the three options that you are given. The
bellboy will respond he checked in two people, or delivered two cups of
ice coffee, or he needed pillows for two. No matter the choice, the bellboy
states that there is clearly a second person staying with April. Edgeworth
will object on the ground "That was...objectionable!".
The bellboy is forced to say that there is a second person with April.
Due to this new revelation we cannot say for certain Maya did kill Mia.
Who is the other person? Choose "The man with Miss May". Edgeworth will
be on the ropes from these statements. The Judge will adjourn the court
for the day, asking you to find out more about this other man.
----------------------------------------------
Date-September 7, 2:24 PM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1
----------------------------------------------
Maya is happy at your perfermance in court. She seems to like Edgeworth
more, though. Heh. April May is in the Detention Center now, and suspicion
of the man with her is high. Phoenix asks for a record of April's entire
testimony, but since most of it was lies only a little bit of it stands
out. MAY TESTIMONY added to the Court Record.
This evidence states "The victim dodged an attack then ran to the right,
but she was caught and struck."
This information will come in handy later on.
===================
Day 2-Investigation
===================
-----------------------------------------
Date-September 7, 3:11 PM
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
April has been relocated to the Detention Center, as I said. She, uh, hates
your guts for putting her here. You can talk to her about several subjects
now, but she'll just complain about how much she hates you and wants you to
get the hell out of here. May as well leave. Head back to the Gatewater
Hotel.
-----------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
-----------------------------------
The bellboy is back in Miss May's room for whatever reason. You now have
a chance to freely talk to him, but not before he thinks about the wild
publicity this trial will give the hotel. Talk about "Miss May" first. He
thought "She'd do it" or something like that. Phoenix thinks the bellboy
is...off. Wierdo. Talk about "The man with May" next. He mentions that he
was a guy who'd any woman would go out with, so to speak. He's still not
giving details. He says if you have a photo he'd help you identify him.
Talk about "The hotel" last. He still has wierd thoughts about how this
trial can add publicity to the hotel. Let's leave for Grossberg Law
Offices again.
------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Grossberg Law Offices
------------------------------
Grossberg is gone once again. It's like he's purposely avoiding you. One
thing in the room should easily stand out-that huge, ugly painting no
longer covers the now barren wall. Examine this. You'll question what was
on the painting but your answer has no significance on the matter. Still,
why is the painting gone when Grossberg specifically said he'd "never trade
such a possession".
Another thing you will notice is a photograph on the edge of Grossberg's
desk. There are two of these photos, infact. The first one is DL-6
Incident; Exhibit A. The other is DL-6 Incident; Exhibit B. You can only
swipe on of these photos from Grossberg's desk, however. If you choose
Exhibit A you will recieve a photo of a middle-aged looking woman. You
don't know who she is, though. You want Exhibit B. This is a picture of a
middle-aged man with purple hair.
You have a picture of a man. Perhaps this is the guy who was staying with
April the day of the murder. Can't hurt to check back at the hotel.
-----------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
-----------------------------------
The bellboy is still here, fortunately for you. Don't hesitate to present
the photo of the man you swiped from Grossberg's desk. The bellboy will
comfirm that this was the man who checked in with April the day of the
murder. The bellboy will be more than pleased to write Phoenix an
affidavit to prove he knows this man and that he stayed with April. "Have
him write it", of course. The bellboy will be more than pleased so he can
brag he had a part in this case. BELLBOY'S AFFIDAVIT will be added to the
Court Record. You now have a trump card against April, and even she can't
do a thing about this. Let's pay her a visit.
-----------------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
April sure as hell isn't pleased to see you right away. Why should we care?
We can kick her with the facts now. Present to her the photograph of the
man. She'll change to a real serious expression once you show it to her.
She clearly knows something. Phoenix will push on her that this is the man
who stayed with her. She'll demand proof.
Good thing you have some. Present to her the Bellboy's Affidavit. She will
act surprised, so choose to "Push her hard". Phoenix will bluff that he
will take this note to the press if she doesn't cooperate. This get's April
talking, finally. The man is her boss, Redd White. He is the president of
the information gathering conglomerate, Bluecorp. Red...White...Blue? Hah?
Same thing Mia said at the beginning of the case.
April will stop talking after that. She will give you the directions to
Bluecorp so you can access it now. You will discard the Bellboy's
Affidavit. Since we have no other leads, to Bluecorp!
Note:If you chose to "Ease her fears", you won't get this information. You
will need to return to Grossberg Law Offices and show him the photo of
Redd White. He'll give you the location to Bluecorp then.
------------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Bluecorp Inc.; CEO's Office
------------------------------------
Redd White will greet you upon your entrance into what must be one of the
gaudiest rooms I've ever seen. Talk to White about "Miss May" firstly. He
will pose that April's business isn't to tap into other people's business
as she has done with the wiretap. That seems odd, it IS an information
gathering company. Talk about "The night of the murder" next. He won't
reveal if he was with April on that day or not. He seems to not care about
time and place. Ugh. We're getting nowhere with him.
Talk about "Bluecorp" next. He has built the entire company up from selling
information to people. What kind of "information" is this, though? We don't
know yet. In any case, does anything look familar in this room? How about
Grossberg's painting lodged on the wall behind you? Talk about "That
painting". Choose "I've seen it before". White will start talking
aggressively now. He'll then punch Phoenix and demand that he leaves.
You have nobody else to go to but Grossberg.
------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Grossberg Law Offices
------------------------------
Grossberg is finally back inside his office, but he's in a seriously
depressed mode. Clear your throat to grab his attention. Talk about
"Today's trial" firstly. He'll seem glad you defended Maya, but it seems
he wishes he could have done it himself. Talk about "Your refusal" next.
Grossberg needs more time to think about this situation before he tells you
about it. Talk about "Mr. White" last. Choose "That big painting" when
Phoenix says something is bothering him. Remember, Grossberg said himself
he had no business parting with that (ugly) painting. Why does Mr. White
have it? Phoenix says he knows White has a connection to Grossberg. Choose
"He's blackmailing you". (...or choose "You're lovers" for a comical
remark from Grossberg. You'll loop back to the question).
Bingo. Grossberg realizes this is as good a time as ever to get that pain
he's been carrying for years off of him. White makes his entire life
around imitation. He'll mention that Bluecorp isn't just information
gathering-it's about finding the weaknesses of people with power. White
found something about Grossberg and has been blackmailing him for nearly
15 years. The reason? Grossberg will say it is all because he was
involved in the DL-6 Incident.
If Grossberg went to defend Maya, White would have finished off Grossberg's
career. He says it's going to be impossible to arrest White. He has
connections to all kinds of authority. Two new topics open up to talk to
Grossberg about. Start with "The DL-6 Incident". DL-6 is simply a code the
police give to cases. A spirit medium, named Misty Fey, was investigating
at the reqiest of the police. Yes, she is Mia's and Maya's mother. She's
also the woman on one of the photographs. Misty failed at her duties when
she channeled a spirit, the police called her a fraud. The incident is
still unsolved.
Talk about the "Reason for blackmail". Why was Grossberg being blackmailed?
DL-6 was top-secret at the time. One person unfortunately found out about
this, however. Grossberg was forced to tell White this shocking news. White
told the media the police were using a spirit medium, and they were
mocked. They started to search for who spilt the beans. White blackmailed
Grossberg at this point. If he kept paying White, White would keep quiet
about this whole business. Before you leave, he'll note that Mia had been
keeping tabs on White for years. You may be able to find something in her
office.
------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Fey & Co. Law Offices
------------------------------
There's only one place in this office you could hope to find a bounty of
information. Examine the filing cabnet. You will be offered three different
sections of the files you can inspect. Start off with "A-I".
Phoenix will stop at F when he notices the file for Misty Fey. Choose to
"Read it". Misty had apparently done something terribly wrong (and we
aleady know what it is). In doing so, she mysteriously vanished. Mia
started to devote her life to find out who did this to her mother. She
used her E.S.P abilities to talk to the dead. In doing so, the names of
two people related to this incident surfaced. One of them was Marvin
Grossberg who we already know and the other is...
The record mysteriously ends there. We already know the missing person. It
is Redd White. Choose to examine the filing cabnet again, this time
choosing the "J-S" file. There's nothing relevant to this case in there,
though, so choose to "Skim" a bit of it. Phoenix will notice that the S
section has a huge file, and all of it are on suicides. The people who
killed themselves were famous in business, fortunes, politics, and so on.
Also note that Mia happened to write something on almost all of these
files. "White" is clearly written in pencil. Mia clearly thought that
White has driven all of these people to commit suicide. Phoenix finds a
highly relevant suicide and borrows a newspaper clipping of the article.
NEWSPAPER CLIPPING added to the Court Record.
Choose to "Check 'em" once more (the filing cabnet). Choose the final
section left "T-Z". Phoenix will realize he should start with W for White.
Problem is, the entire W section of the cabnet is missing! Gee, wonder who
could have possibly taken the entire thing. Let's pay a certain somebody a
nasty visit.
------------------------------------
Date-September 7
Location-Bluecorp Inc.; CEO's Office
------------------------------------
White still isn't pleased with your presence. He mentions that a nasty
incident will occur if you continue to pester him. Well, we have nothing to
lose at this point. White will continue to yell at you if you try talking
to him about any subject. Present the Newspaper Clipping to him. Phoenix
will explain to White that it describes the suicide of a politician. Word
got leaked to the press about some crime he committed, then he comitted
suicide. White will ask what this has to do with him. Phoenix says he
found it in Mia's office, along with a ton of other articles with similar
stories, all marked with "White" at the top. Choose "You blackmailed him".
White isn't going to give up so easily. White will order the secretary to
escort you out of the office. You can't leave just yet, though. Yell
"You're wrong" to him. Phoenix should be going after White right now, not
the killer. Why? White is the killer of course. White will call his
secretary a second time, this time to be placed on a call to the
prosecutor's office. White has decided that he wants to testify
tomorrow in the trial. White "witnessed the murder" apparently and wants
to get Phoenix proved guilty now. He also order the police to bring Phoenix
into custody now.
Detective Gumshoe will arrive instantaniously. White will say it was
Phoenix who was the real murderer. Gumshoe will arrest you on the spot.
Time to head for the Detention Center. Of course, it's not like you have
a choice on this matter.

Note:I assume the date error is from a mistranslation...
Phoenix says that White is probably gonna set a trap for him. He has very
little chance of winning this case and proving White guilty. Edgeworth
will be well aware of this, he's sure. Phoenix plans on defending himself
in court. He is a defense attorney after all. Maybe he can actually win
this thing.
Maya will appear. She has been set free with the knowledge that you are
the real murderer. Phoenix will explain the story to Maya. She wants to
help somehow. It doesn't matter what you choose, but I believe "Help me
break out of here" is the funniest response.
Phoenix will explain why court is this way now. Remember, this game takes
place in the future (2016 to be exact). There's a three day limit on all
court cases. Tomorrow is day two. Either way, a verdict is more likely
than not going to be decided tomorrow. Oh dear...

Day 3-Trial
===========
----------------------------------------------
Date-September 9, 9:52 AM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1
----------------------------------------------
Edgeworth will greet you before the trial begins. He'll state that whatever
White states it will be "the absolute truth". Basically, any objections you
make will be in vain. Phoenix is pretty much going to be declared guilty
by trial's end. Phoenix notes that he knows Edgeworth already. That isn't
important to this story, though. Court time!
----------------------------------------
Date-September 9, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 1
----------------------------------------
Phoenix is actually going to defend himself. Good luck with that! Edgeworth
will comment there was a second witness to this crime. However, the Judge
doesn't bring up why he wasn't called in yesterday. "Objection" this
fact. Edgeworth replies White is a busy man, and that he didn't think his
testimony would be needed. Redd White gets called to the stand. After
trying to show off his gaudy jewelery, the real action begins.
------------------------------------------
~Redd White's Testimony-Witness's Account~
------------------------------------------
-Let's see, it was about 9:00, I believe.
-I was quietly perusifying...er, that's "reading" to you, some papers by
the window.
-Then I heard a bedlam coming from outside!
-Surprised, I turned to look at the building across the way.
-It was then I saw him:a spiky-haired man attacking a woman with long hair!
-Needless to say that man was none other than you, Mr. Lawyer!
-I called Miss May over at once. She, too, was surprised of course.
-The victim, she...she ran away, but you gave chase!
-Finally there was a terrible impaction! Then it was all over...
Damn, that's a long testimony. This testimony seems quite...factual. Start
by pressing these statements one by one. Always "Press further" when
asked to. The first statement is important. The bellboy said White wasn't
in the room at the time. White will state he was outside at the time and
couldn't have seen him anyways.
The fifth statement is the most critical one. White states that he saw a
spiky-haired man attack Mia. Funny, April stated she clearly saw a woman
attack Mia. You have no evidence for this, so press this instead. Phoenix
won't get anywhere, though. Press the next statement where he claims it
was clearly Phoenix. Phoenix brings out the contradiction here. White
claims that his eyesight, counting both eyes, is 40. Well...that STILL
gets us nowhere. White is seriously hiding the details.
The next statement that important is eighth statement, about "Phoenix"
giving chase to the victim. Notice the stammer in this statement. White
was clearly going to reveal what direction Mia ran off, but stopped himself
and changed the statement. Phoenix will demand more specific information
in this statement. He'll change this statement to...
-The victim ran to the left, and you gave chase!
That's odd. White has already contradicted April's testimony several times,
and this statement does it again. Check out May Testimony. It states "The
victim dodged an attack then ran to the right, but she was caught and
struck". Present this item at this statement.
Phoenix will explain the situation, but White won't falter and claims you
misunderstood her. Too bad you have clear evidence proving this statement.
Phoenix will present the floor plans. Had Mia run to the left, she would
be head away from the door and into a wall! There's only one way this
could be true-White was in the killer's spot. If Mia ran left from that
perspective it would make sense.
Maya will comment that White probably isn't lying. He probably did see Mia
run to the left. It is starting to make sense now. The Judge will ask you
whose statement is correct-White's or April's. We already know White is the
killer, and April was in her room, so it makes sense that both of them are
correct. Choose "Both are right".
Edgeworth will object to this ludicrious statement. He says there's no way
both witness's could possibly be correct. Phoenix will say that White must
have seen the murder firsthand from the Fey & Co. Law Offices. You will be
asked to show where White was standing to make the statement true. The
floor plans will appear. Move the cursor onto the red "K" for the killer's
spot. If you look at it from White's perspective (assuming he is the
killer for the moment), it's clearly his left, and April May's right. This
proves that both witness's are correct in their statements.
Edgeworth will object to this crazy assumption. White just now will
remember an important detail he left out in his testimony, and asks to
testify again.
----------------------------------------------
~Redd White's Testimony-She Ran to the "Left"~
----------------------------------------------
-Miss May's testmony was correct...as was mine!
-When you first assaulted the girl, she first ran to the left.
-And then you hit her, savagely! That is what I saw.
-Next, with the last of her strength, she ran to the right.
-You chased her, and delivered the final blow.
-That is what Miss May saw.
-You see? You hit her twice!
Press White on his fifth statement, on how you chased Mia. It will do no
good, but something strikes as odd. Press White on the final statement as
well. White must have been watching both times. Odd. Doesn't the autopsy
report state that Mia was struck once by a blunt object? Present Mia's
Autopsy Report on the last statement.
Phoenix will present the evidence and White will start to fall apart. White
is starting the shut his trap. Edgeworth will object and call for a 10-
minute recess. Phoenix will object right away and state White is confused
mainly because he keeps lying. The crowd agrees with Phoenix to allow no
break. White is forced to testify yet again.
-----------------------------------------
~Redd White's Testimony-The Two Accounts~
-----------------------------------------
-Umm, well, see--I looked at the other window when I heard that thing fall.
-Then, the next moment, I saw Miss Mia run to the left!
-The killer, you, attacked her...but she dodged.
-She turned, and ran for the door!
-Then you did her in with a single blow! Thwap!
White will feign a stomach ache, but Phoenix tells him to shove it. This
is almost over. White isn't talking as much. Press the first statement.
Exactly what fell over? White will explain that it was the glass light
stand. Maya will ask if something strikes you as odd. Respond "Yeah, very
odd". Phoenix will press harder against White. He will be asked to change
his testimony to reflect this information...
-A light stand was lying on the floor when I looked.
At this new statement, present the Glass Light Shards. Phoenix will infer
that it was completely impossible to see this light stand. Why? It was
broken. White said that too, but the thing is, it was broken "beyond all
recongnition"! There was no way that White could have possible realized
that the glass shards that laid all over the floor were ever once a glass
light stand. Phoenix will demand when White had seen the stand. He must
know since he knows it was once a glass light stand. He says he saw the
stand before it fell over. Answer "Big problemo" when White responds there
is no problemo. Phoenix will say it's impossible to have seen the light
stand from the hotel room before it fell over. Present the Floor Plans.
The visible area from the hotel room is in yellow. The glass light stand,
where it once stood before being shattered, is not in this area! White is
left speechless after this. Edgeworth objects, and forces White to admit
to that he placed the wiretap JUST before White confesses to killing Mia.
That bastard! In order to place the wiretap, White claims he entered Fey
& Co. Law Offices before the murder. In that time, he saw the glass light
stand. White will be asked to testify a final time about the wiretap.
----------------------------------------
~Redd White's Testimony-The Wiretapping~
----------------------------------------
-It was the beginning of September...the week before the murder.
-I had entered Fey & Co. Law Offices.
-Of course, I had done so to place the wiretap.
-That is when I saw this glass light stand.
Hmm. Very short. There's one gaping problem. Nothing in this testimony
contradicts evidence in your posession. Try as you may, you can't push
White any harder. To get through this you will need to press every
statement in order. You will get no infomation from doing so, though.
After doing so, Phoenix will realize there's nothing to press White on
and he will be forced to give up. The Judge will ask you if you are sure
you want to give this case up. Phoenix will admit he has been defeated.
Just before passing out in the court, Phoenix will hear Mia's voice.
She'll tell him to never give up. Uh...too late for that.
----------------------------------------------
Date-September 9
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1
----------------------------------------------
Phoenix will wake up and realize he is in the defendant's lobby, and soon
recall the he lost the case. Mia will appear and start talking to Phoenix,
who freaks out right away because Mia is...dead. Right? Apparently choosing
to give up in court freaked Maya out so much she was able to channel Mia
right there on the spot. She will tell you that she is in Maya's body right
now (look at the clothing) and that Maya will have no recollection of this
once she leaves. She will also say that White killed her (duh). Remember
that receipt with "Maya" written on it? White wrote that too. She will
being to your attention what's written on the other side, though.
"Amount spent:$1,000.00; Item purchased:Glass Light Stand; Date of
Purchase:September 4"
...huh? The fourth? That's the day before the murder! RECEIPT has been
updated in the Court Record. Now it is time to screw White over in court!
----------------------------------------
Date-September 9, 1:16 PM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 1
----------------------------------------
Phoenix will ask for a final chance at proving White guilty. Edgeworth will
amuse himself by allowing you this final chance. Let's get to it!
----------------------------------------
~Redd White's Testimony-The Wiretapping~
----------------------------------------
-It was the beginning of September...the week before the murder.
-I had entered Fey & Co. Law Offices.
-Of course, I had done so to place the wiretap.
-That is when I saw this glass light stand.
You already know what to do. Present the Receipt at the first statement.
Phoenix will ask the Judge to inspect the other side of the receipt. Low
and behold, the glass light stand was purchased on September 4, the day
before the murder. The stand couldn't have existed when White alledgedly
went there.
Edgeworth will object again. You still haven't proven yourself innocent.
Edgeworth will ask the Judge for one last day of investigation in order
to create strong evidence proving Phoenix's guilt. Obviously, "Object"
to Edgeworth's request. The Judge will deny Phoenix's objection. Mia will
tell White to freeze. She will hand Phoenix a note to be read out loud.
The note contains a bunch of names written in Mia's handwriting. The list
of names is supposedly of everyone and then some that White has, or had
once been, blackmailing.
White goes completely insane at this point. Phoenix will threaten to turn
this into the police if he doesn't confess now. Of course, White has no
choice but to comply. He confesses to hitting Mia with The Thinker. That's
it! Damn good. (Side note, nobody is actually certain who the list is
referring to, but it is logical that it would be the people White has
blackmailed.)

Date-September 9, 2:24 PM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 1

Instead of expecting Mia to appear, Maya will come out all cheerful. She
was left a note by Mia to "take care of Phoenix". Now that Mia is gone the
company is yours. The Wright & Co. Law Offices is born. Whooo! Maya will
assist you for now on your cases.
Well, so much for a happy ending. Save the game after the final cutscene.
==========================================
~7.Episode Three-Turnabout Samurai~
==========================================
It is time to begin your third case. In the opening cutscene, you will see
what appears to be a samurai and some evil villian duking it out under the
moonlight. At the end, something tells you to "Watch the next exciting
episode". This must be some television show. I see no murder, though.

Day 1-Investigation
===================

Date-October 14, 5:31 PM
Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices
---------------------------------
A continuation of what you just saw, Maya will explain that the show is
the "Steel Samurai", the most popular kids show on television right now.
Why Maya is appealed by it is beyond comprehension. All the propaganda and
"inappropiate language" used in the show maks it funny that it is for kids.
Heh. Afterwards, Phoenix will note that it has been over a month since his
trial and he hasn't had any clients come in. He's starting to worry, but
all is not over yet!
---------------------------------
Date-October 16, 8:14 AM
Location-Phoenix Wright's Bedroom
---------------------------------
Early in the morning Phoenix will recieve a call from Maya. She'll say that
the Steel Samurai just got arrested. Apparently he killed the villian.
Problem is, this is real life we are talking about. The Steel Samurai
actually killed the actor who plays the villian with his signature "Samurai
Spear" weapon. Crazy. Phoenix will rush back to the office.
---------------------------------
Date-October 16, 9:22 AM
Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices
---------------------------------
As soon as you arrive, Phoenix will listen to a news story on TV. You will
find out that the Steel Samurai is played by the actor Will Powers. The
person who he killed was Jack Hammer, a young star who played the Evil
Magistrate, the Steel Samurai's foe, on the show. Jack Hammer was found at
the studio where he works at inside of his Evil Magistrate costume and the
Samurai Spear sticking right through him. The police are currently
investigating the situation.
Phoenix will get a phone call after the story ends. Will Powers is on the
phone, calling from the Detention Center. He will request that you be his
defense attorney in court. It's about time Phoenix got himself a case.
Head to the detention center now.
-----------------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
-----------------------------------------
Maya will appear pretty surprised that this burly guy is the one who really
plays the Steel Samurai. It's as if nobody ever reads the credits. Powers
will start off by sobbing a bit at the tragic events that have happened.
The only reason nobody's seen his face is because he vowed never to reveal
it until the show was over.
You will be able to talk to Powers now. Start with the obvious "What
happened" statement. The entire cast for the episode to be played was at
Global Studios yesterday. They had come to do a run-through. At about 10:00
in the morning they had practiced several action scenes. At 5:00 in the
afternoon a rehersal for the episode was planned. When everyone gathered
at the studio at 5:00 PM, however, the Evil Magistrate was found in a
corner of the studio. After taking off the mask, they discovered that Jack
Hammer was inside and dead. He had been punctured through the cest by the
Samurai Spear.
Ask Powers about "The Steel Samurai" next. Phoenix will ask just what the
show is exactly. Powers will explain it to you again if you haven't read
the above paragraphs. The Steel Samurai fights bad guys and stuff like
that. Seems like a violent show.
Lastly, discuss "Powers's alibi". Powers will explain he came to the studio
at 9:00 AM as always. He worked in some action scenes until about noon.
There was a rehearsal planned for 5:00 PM, but between the times Powers
grew weary so he took a nap in his dressing room. It wasn't until past
5:00 that he finally woke up and rushed to the studio. When he got there
he was arrested on the spot.
Phoenix will comment on investigation the studios. Powers will draw you a
map to Global Studios so you can now access it. Let's head over there.
----------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
As soon as you reach the studio, Maya will be happy with glee. An old
security woman pops in though to spoil it. No, that text bubble is not a
joke. Her last name really is "Oldbag". Feel free to laugh. She'll rant
on about how lawyers have nothing to do.
Back to seriousness, as a security guard she should know some info about
the actors here. Start by talking to her about "The studios". At Global
Studios, they make children's dreams come true. She mentions that ten
years ago Global Studios was a lot more lively. Also, back then, Jack
Hammer was a big star. It wasn't long though before he was reduced to
playing as the villian.
Ask about "Will Powers" next. Oldbag will immediately start off by dissing
Powers and mentioning that playing as the Steel Samurai was his chance to
kill Hammer. That's an absurd statement realising that Powers has nothing
on bad grounds with Hammer. She thinks Powers is guilty. Press her on
"Reason for suspicion" next. Oldbag was standing in the Main Gate area from
1:00 PM to the time of rehersal, 5:00 PM. The studio in question where the
murder took place is only accessable by going through the main gate. In
such an event they would have to go through Oldbag first. Only one person
went by the Main Gate between 1:00 PM and the murder time, and that person
was Powers. She says she saw him. But didn't Powers say he was napping?
Odd contradiction...
Lastly, talk about "Mr. Hammer". Oldbag was a serious Jack Hammer fan back
in the day. He was apparently the ultimate action hero. However, there was
an incident five years ago. After that accident, Hammer went from a star to
a nobody who played the lamer villian on an action show.
Oldbag will demand a "Letter of Request" from Powers before she will let
you tour the studio at your own leisure. Head back to Powers.
------------------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Detention Center; Visitor's Room
------------------------------------------
Talk to Powers about "Your alibi" again. Remember, Oldbag's statement
completely blows off what Powers previously stated. Powers will state that
it was impossible for him to have gone to the studios early in the
afternoon. He's quite certain that he was sleeping the entire time. Too bad
there's no witness to account for that.
Talk about "The security lady" afterwards. Oldbag has a thing against most
people, including Powers. What a creep. Phoenix will ask if he could write
a note saying that Phoenix will represent him as his lawyer. Powers will
be glad to do so. POWERS'S REQUEST will be added to the Court Record. Head
back to Oldbag so we can shove this in her face.
----------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Present Powers's Request to Oldbag. She will take it from you and confirm
the handwriting is indeed Powers'. Oldbag will grant you access the studios
but nothing else for now. She won't let you go to the employee area for,
well, obvious reasons. Maya will pick up a map from the guard station.
GUIDEMAP is added to the Court Record.
Oldbag mentioned a detective told her that nobody could be given access to
the employee area. Wonder who it is?
----------------------------
Date-Ocotber 16
Location-Studio One Entrance
----------------------------
Well, if it isn't Detective Gumshoe himself. Thought it was fairly obvious
he'd be on the case, too. He'll mention Edgeworth has been depressed since
his recent court loss. Hah hah. Talk to him about "The investigation"
firstly. Gumshoe isn't able to give you any of the details, naturally, but
he will gladly hand over the current autopsy report. It states "Time of
death:2:30 PM; Cause of death:Pierced through the chest by a spear".
Gumshoe will assure you this is the most current version. AUTOPSY REPORT is
added to the Court Record.
Talk about "Reason for arrest" next. He will say that the murder took place
supposedly at studio one. The victim entered the studio at about 1:00 PM
that day. Nobody else but Hammer was there at that time. Since the time of
death was 2:30 PM, and only one person was proven to have gone to that
studio between that time, it made a fairly suspicious claim against Will
Powers. Since he was the only person that went there, he was immediately
arrested on the spot.
Talk about "The security lady" last. Gumshoe thinks that she is a sweet
lady. Apparently somebody doesn't have a girlfriend. She treated him to
coffee and donuts. Eh? Oldbag gave Gumshoe a piece of decisive evidence.
Talk about "Decisive evidence" now. Phoenix inquiry's what kind of evidence
it is. Gumshoe will reply that it was a photo of the Steel Samurai heading
towards the scene of the crime. See the camera on the arch near Gumshoe?
It takes a photo whenever somebody passes by it. Since Powers went by it,
a picture of him was taken.
Gumshoe, being in the good mood he is now, will permit you access to the
Employee Area. He mentions you won't find any clues, though. Somehow I
severely doubt that.
----------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
You'll return to the main gate and find Oldbag isn't there. Instead she is
in the guardhouse stuffing herself with donuts. Okay... When she comes
back after noticing you, you'll need to talk about several things. Discuss
"Photographic proof" first. She will mention the security gate up ahead,
and the camera perched on it. This you already know. What you don't know
is that every day before Oldbag leaves the studios she checks all of the
photos the camera has taken for the day. They are all stored on the
computer inside the guardstation. She found the one with Powers, and is
using it as proof that he comitted the crime.
You can talk about "Mr. Hammer" and "Reason for suspicion" again if you
want, but to continue along head to the Employee Area.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Global Studios; Employee Area
--------------------------------------
Once you get into the Employee Area you will find it quite abondoned. You
will need to examine several things in here. First of all, you will notice
that the tables are full of dirty plates. Almost all of them contain the
remains of t-bone steak. This must have been the employee's lunch on the
day of the murder. There is another thing you should note. On the left
screen (tap the button at the bottom of the touch screen or push the L
button to change screens) you will see a drainage grate on the ground.
Somebody could probably fit through here. Interesting.
Nothing else of importance is in here. Head to the Dressing Room.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Global Studios; Dressing Room
--------------------------------------
There are several interesting things you can examine in Powers' dressing
room, including the bed which confirms that someone must have slept here.
Focus in on Powers's bag on the ground near the table. You will find a
keycard inside his bag. CARDKEY will be borrowed and added to the Court
Record. It's your ticket to get inside Studio One. Head to the Studio One
Entrance.
----------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Studio One Entrance
----------------------------
You can't enter the studio just yet. Examine the little doors in the
distance that reads "1st" to insert the cardkey. Head inside the studio.
-------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Studio One
-------------------
Not much of a studio to say the least. There are several things to keep in
mind that will help you for later. First, there is an outline on the ground
that marks the spot that the police found the body of Jack Hammer on the
ground. What Phoenix will realise is that there are no blood stains on the
ground. For a bloody mess that a stab through the heart would cause, there
should be some mess on the ground, right? Where could it all have gone?
You will need to examine the cameras next. Maya will get excited over
seeing them, but before long somebody will yell at you for touching them.
Penny Nichols will mention that she is a stage assitant here at Global
Studios when you meet her. Talk to her first about "The day of the crime".
Penny will state that she was in Studio One for the majority of the day
because she was the only assistant that was working the day of the murder.
She was aware an action scene was occuring in the morning as well. Powers
and Hammer were there. She went to the Employee Area for lunch, like
everyone else, and saw Hammer and Powers there. Powers went into his
dressing room and Hammer left the room. It was the last time she saw them
for the day.
Talk about "Will Powers" next. Penny cannot confirm that Powers was
actually sleeping in his dressing room the majority of the afternoon
because she didn't enter his dressing room at all that day, mainly because
she had no reason to.
After talking to her about this, Penny will mention that something has been
bothering her for a while. She will explain that some time after lunch in
the Employee Area she "sensed" that somebody that didn't work at the
studios was here. This isn't very descriptive, but it's the only lead that
you have right now. Remember, Oldbag said that everyone that comes to the
studio has to come by her...so why didn't she see this mysterious person,
if there is one at all?
Time to pay an certai old duff another visit.
----------------------------------
Date-October 16
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Oldbag is still at her post. Talk to her about "Assistant's claim". Oldbag
will go berserk after realising that someone at the Studios is questioning
her authority. She will then run off to Studio One, most likely in order to
give Penny a large piece of her mind. Now that Oldbag is out of the picture
we have some time to do a little snooping around. Examine the computer
inside the guardstation. In order to access the files for the security
camera pictures you will have to insert a code. Choose "ST1-307". Once you
do this the computer will print out a single photo, pretty much the only
one taken that day.
The picture shows the Steel Samurai, limping his leg and heading towards
the studio. Problem is, we can't see his face as he's turning away from the
camera. This technically could be ANYBODY since we can't prove the person
wearing the costume. Phoenix will also note the timeprint on the card:
"Oct. 15 2:00 PM, Photo #2"
POWERS'S(?) PHOTO has been added to the Court Record. This is all you are
capable of doing for today. Court begins tomorrow, and we are a long way
from finding the real killer of Jack Hammer.
===========
Day 2-Trial
===========
----------------------------------------
Date-October 18, 10:00 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 4
----------------------------------------
Nothing special, you are thrown into court as soon as you begin the trial
day. Edgeworth will begin by calling Detective Gumshoe to describe the
crime scene. Gumshoe will describe the entire layout of the studios,
including the crime scene of course. However, Studio 2 for some reason is
left out. Did you notice that? Something important could be there for all
we know. Choose "Skip it" when asked if you want to hear that speech once
again. SAMURAI SPEAR will be added to the Court Record once you choose to
move on.
Edgeworth will have to call the only other real witness that day, Wendy
Oldbag. Yes, this duff is going to testify in court and damn it's not gonna
be pretty. She even starts off by flirting with Edgeworth, then talk about
her younger days for a few paragraphs (really fast text so read quickly).
Let's cross examine.
--------------------------------------------
~Wendy Oldbag's Testimony-Witness's Account~
--------------------------------------------
-On the day of the murder, I arrived at the guard station at 1:00 PM.
-Poor old Hammer and the rest had been doing a run-through there since the
morning.
-I, well, I had some errands to run that morning.
-Anyway, it was 1:00 when I got to the guard station.
-I was at the main gate from then until 5:00!
-Now, the murder happened at 2:30 PM, right?
-Interesting to me, because a certain man walked right by me at 2:00 PM.
-It was Powers! That man right there, and he was heading toward the studio!
Press the first statement. You'll find out logically anybody could access
the studios until 1:00 PM, before Oldbag arrived. However, they would have
needed a cardkey which Phoenix has right now. Hmm. Oldbag seems to hold
back something in her third statement, about some errands. Apparently, she
was actually watching Hammer and Powers perform their runthrough. She is
a big Hammer fan, after all. It doesn't make sense why she wasn't guarding
the gate when she was technically at work, but that's besides the point.
Neither Hammer nor Powers went to Studio One before 1:00 PM.
Press her on the next statement, about arriving at the station at 1:00 PM.
Hammer had already gone to the studio before Oldbag arrived at the station.
Press her next statement, about how she was at the gate until 5:00. Oldbag
will throw a fit when asked if she was there the entire duration of that
time. She's starting to lose it now, according to Maya. Press her sixth
statement, about confirming the time of the murder. How'd did she know
that? Gumshoe told her evidently. Press the seventh statement as well.
She seems quite sure that somebody passed her at 2:00 PM. Press the last
statement and Oldbag wil reassure you that she saw Powers clearly. Maya
will mention your "secret weapon". Present Powers's(?) Photo here.
It is not clear who is really in this picture. You very well know that.
It still isn't proven Powers wore the Steel Samurai suit at that time, and
that may not even be him in the photo. Oldbag will mention she has proof
that man is indeed Powers, surpirsing Edgeworth even. She will now testify
about her proof.
-----------------------------------------------
~Wendy Oldbag's Testimony-The Man in the Photo~
-----------------------------------------------
-I never say anything I don't mean, mind you!
-That morning, during the run-through of the action scene...
-I saw Powers trip and fall!
-He broke one of the props, it was a big mess.
-Apparently, he sprained his ankle pretty bad.
-You can see he's dragging his leg! See? Clear as day!
-That's how I knew it was Powers. Happy?
There's one interesting statement we have just learned-Powers hurt himself.
Press Oldbag on her third statement, about Powers falling onto the ground.
Oldbag helped Powers feel a bit better after the fall. Phoenix will ask
where Penny was during this time. She was somewhere else in Global Studios
cleaning up some props. She was completely unaware of Powers' sprained
ankle.
Now it's time to press her on some important information-one of the props
broke. Which one? Press her fourth statement. Oldbag will respond it was
his Samurai Spear. Wait, the murder weapon? This is an important detail,
so SAMURAI SPEAR becomes updated in the Court Record.
Her next statement, about spraining his leg pretty bad, is an important
information getter. Oldbag will say that his leg was strong enough so that
he was still able to walk around, hence how he could get into the Employee
Area as well as his dressing room. Edgeworth will barge in in the middle
of this conversation. The Judge is confused on one major subject-where the
hell is the Steel Samurai costume right now?
The police have yet to find it. There are no traces of it at Global Studios
right now. It isn't an important detail, though. Fact is, Oldbag saw Powers
and that is all that matters. "Object" when Phoenix questions what the
Judge is thinking. Edgeworth keeps talking about the possibility that
Powers could be in the Steel Samurai suit, but as the photo has already
proven it is just as likely that Powers might not have even been in there.
Edgeworth will ask Oldbag to continue her testimony as apparently she has
comments on the possibilty of a second person being near the studios on
the day of the murder.
---------------------------------------------------
~Wendy Oldbag's Testimony-Witness's Account, cont.~
---------------------------------------------------
-The time of poor Hammer's death was 2:30 PM, true?
-The only person I saw go to the studio before then was Will Powers!
-No one else went there!
-If they had, I would have seen them!
Short, sweet, and to the damn point. Press all you want, nothing else
besides the obvious facts will pour from Oldbag's mouth. Something is a bit
contradictory with one of your pieces of evidence, and not only that but a
very specific thing, too. Remember your photo? It was labled as the second
taken that day! Present Powers's(?) Photo at Oldbag's third statement.
Phoenix will confirm that the automatic camera takes a picture whenever
somebody walks by it. This means that, due to the "2" on the photo there
must have been another photo taken on the same day. And if that's true,
then the person who was on it easily could have been the murderer as well!
Oldbag will totally flip out at this statement. Unfortunately for you, she
will calm down right away and remember something important. The old duff
still has more testimonies to come.
-------------------------------------------
~Wendy Oldbag's Testimony-The Other Person~
-------------------------------------------
-Every day, after I finish my guard duties, I have one other important job
to do.
-I go through the photos recorded on the security computer and check them.
-I throw out any photos that aren't suspicious lookin', you see.
-Come to think of it, now I do remember throwing out one photo that day!
There is only one important statement here. Press her final statement,
about who she erased. She will respon that it was a mere fanboy. You know
why these kind of people are. Freaks who will do anything to see the Steel
Samurai in action. Do you remember the grating from the Employee Area? They
generally sneak in that way. Could this fanboy also be a suspect to the
murder at hand? Remember, these are kids we are talking about.
Everybody in the audience will start to suspect that the fanboy in question
DIDN'T do the murder and that he has nothing to do with this case. That's
not how it's supposed to go. The Judge will call for a break now.
----------------------------------------------
Date-October 18, 11:08 AM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3
----------------------------------------------
Maya, Powers, and yourself will converse and decide the verdict can't be
decided in your favor today. For the time being you will need to push the
blame on somebody else. There's only one person who could have possibly
done this as far as we know. Let's press her on when court comes back
into session.
----------------------------------------
Date-October 18, 11:13 AM
Location-District Court; Courtroom No. 4
----------------------------------------
Edgeworth thinks that this new revelation is completely pointless to the
case. Phoenix will state that there is the possibility that another person
could have commited this crime. Remember, you will be penalized if you
choose the wrong answer. Choose the only possible suspect right now, "The
security lady". Who else?
Oldbag is going to flip her lid at this point. Phoenix says that only one
other person knew about Powers' injury-Wendy Oldbag. Well, Wendy Oldbag is
now on the suspect list for possible murderers. She has no alibi, so she
could have easily snagged the Steel Samurai costume. She knew that the
camera would take her picture, so she obviously looked away. Aha! Oldbag
will claim the fanboy just as easily could have been the murderer. Be sure
to "Press further" when asked. Phoenix will mention that there is no way
the fanboy could have been the killer. Show proof by presenting the
Cardkey. It is the only way into Studio One, and he obviously didn't have
this with him so he couldn't have killed Hammer.
The Judge is ready to suspend the trial for the day. However, before he
can do that Oldbag will speak up that she has yet another thing she needs
to mention to the court that she was specifically told not to say. She
obviously wants to say it now to clear her name. Let's give her one last
testimony.
----------------------------------------------
~Wendy Oldbag's Testimony-My Lips Were Sealed~
----------------------------------------------
-Global Studios wanted me to keep quiet about something.
-There were...some other people at the studios on the day of the murder.
-They said they had "nothing to do with it," see?
-So they told me to just pretend they "hadn't been at the studios that
day."
-But if you're going to go accusing me, I'm not letting them get away scot
free!
Once again, only one statement here will give you severely important
information when pressed. Press Oldbag's second statement, about some other
people at the studios. Oldbag will respond that the director and producer
of the studios were there. The director was in the Employee Area the
entire morning for the run-through. He joined the producer later for lunch.
They were in the Studio Two trailer.
The Judge will ask if you want to continue your cross examination or cease
your actions. Choose "Take a break". A lot of revealing information has
been provided thanks to Oldbag. Several new possible suspects and witnesses
have arisen. Court will finally be adjourned for the day.
----------------------------------------------
Date-October 18, 1:04 PM
Location-District Court; Defendant Lobby No. 3
----------------------------------------------
You will discuss the situation with Maya and Powers again. You will need
to revisit the studios to gather more information about this case, as well
as the other possible suspects.
===================
Day 2-Investigation
===================
---------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices
---------------------------------
You'll start off by talking to Maya, as usual. It's time to head back to
the studios. You can talk to Maya about what to do, but it should be kinda
obvious. Head towards Global Studios again.
----------------------------------
Date-October 18, 2:16 PM
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Oldbag has been taken into custody as Phoenix will mention. Because of this
there is nobody running the guardstation at the main gate. With nobody
blocking our way, let's explore a bit.
----------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Employee's Area
----------------------------------------
You will find Penny in the Employee's Area for some suspicious reason. She
will respond that Wendy Oldbag requested her to block the storm drain, and
Penny has done that by nailing some boards to the wall. Not quite the best
handiwork, though. She will then say that she has to fill in for Oldbag at
the guardstation and will then disappear. Maya will ask you if she can rip
open the grating after you examine it. Do this so that the fanboys can
enter again.
Make sure you answer "Rip it open". You will understand the reasoning for
this soon enough.
----------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Back at the Main Gate you will find out that Penny really has taken up
security duties. At least she's kinder than that jerk Oldbag. Talk to her
about "The studios". She will mention the plates in the Employee Area with
t-bone steak bones on them still. She hasn't had time to clean them up.
Talk about "The fanboy" next. One of the boys is commonly seen at the
studios, always with a camera and gawking at the sets. Finally, discuss
"The director , et al." Penny will note that the people at the studios
were trying to protect the director by hushing up Oldbag on the matter.
This also protected the producer, the real star of the studios.
--------------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Studio One Entrance
--------------------------------------------
Gumshoe isn't investigating this place like he probably should be right
now, so you have some more time to investigate the area. The only thing you
should check is what Phoenix mentioned in court-the fallen monkey head and
tree near the entrance to Studio Two. You will recall that the monkey head
fell on the day of the murder. Phoenix will also mention that you would
probably need a crane to move the giant monkey head any further. Remember
this critical detail for later. Move to outside Studio Two.
-------------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Outside Studio Two
-------------------------------------------
As soon as you enter the deserted studio, you will hear a crash from inside
the trailer. You will attempt to rush in and save the day, but the door
happens to be locked and yelling gets you no response. Maya comments you
should try the main gate's guardstation for a key that could get in.
Firstly, examine several details that will be iomportant for later.
Examine the van. It's hard to miss. Think about what it could carry and how
fast it can get to its destination. Next, there is an incinerator near the
van. It's covered in soot, as if somebody was trying to burn something.
Next, look at the garden infront of the trailer. See the fence? It appears
really lethal due to the spik top of it. Finally, look at the plates on the
front table. Two people probably ate here. Maya will say that something
feels odd about the plates. Remember that these plates are empty, it'll
come in handy!
Head back to the main gate so we can hopefully snag a trailer key.
----------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Do what you did last time to get a key. Examine the guardstation. You will
find they key, but Penny will prevent you from taking it. She is afraid
Oldbag will rip her apart if she found out someone took the key. There's
one more place you haven't checked out yet. Besides Studio One, head to the
Dressing Room.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Dressing Room
--------------------------------------
"WTF? Who are j00 d00dz!? LMAO!" This is the shocking sentence Maya will
be greeted with as soon as you enter the dressing room. The director, Sal
Manella who suffers from "internet chatroom syndrome" and decides to speak
mostly in 1337 speak. As soon as he notices Maya he will get a spark of
inspiration and think about a new show. It's "Pink Princess:Warrior of
Little Olde Tokyo". NOW THIS deserves a "WTF?" There's three important
things to discuss here. Let's start with "The day of the crime".
He will mostly talk about the obvious information. He was in the Employee
Area from the early morning until noon doing a run-through of an action
scene. He then mentions a meeting from lunch in the Studio Two trailer.
He'll make a sad face when he mentions he couldn't eat. He was there until
after 4:00 PM.
Talk about "The producer" next. You will finally find out her name. She is
Dee Vasquez. She gave the studios a huge comeback quite a while back right
before it went out of business. She was in the meeting as well.
Finally, mention "The bigwigs". These people are actually the main sponsors
of the show, some guys at the network, those type of people. They also
arrived at about noon. That, and they were in the meeting the entire time.
We are out of viable leads. Time to head back to the main gate to see if we
can get the key this time around...or not...
----------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Ack! She returned! Oldbag has unfortunately come back to haunt the security
station. She says that the police had her try on a spare Steel Samurai
costume, and when it was clear there was no way Oldbag could have fit into
the costume it ruled her out as being the murderer right away.
Oldbag won't give you the key, of course. You can try talking to her on the
various subjects, but you will get nowhere since she hates your guts right
now. Head right back to the Employee Area.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Employee Area
--------------------------------------
Maya's efforts to destroy the drainage blockade didn't go in vain. You will
find the crazed fanboy, Cody Hackins, standing in the Employee Area with a
smug look on his face.
Talk to him about "The Steel Samurai". Maya and Cody will get into a fight
about who's the bigger Steel Samurai fan, leaving Phoenix confused. Now
that Cody is willing to talk (somewhat), ask "What happened". Cody will
shut his trap right away, then comments that "the Steel Samurai always
wins!". He saw everything that happened. Before you get yourself a chance
to interrigate him, Cody will dive through the storm drain. Hmph. He'll be
back. That's for sure.
On his way out, though, Cody hit a table and a bottle fell off. What could
it be? EMPTY BOTTLE will be added to the Court Record. Head back to the
main gate.
----------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Oldbag will catch eye of Cody and start chasing him like there's no
tomorrow. Pretty funny. Since she is a bit occupied, why not examine the
guardstation now and swipe the key there? TRAILER KEY will be added to the
Court Record.
Now all you need to do is enter the trailer. Head for Studio Two.
-------------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Outside Studio Two
-------------------------------------------
Examine the trailer. Once you do, Phoenix will insert the key. You have
access to the trailer now so don't hesistate to enter.
-------------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Studio Two Trailer
-------------------------------------------
The trailer is where the producer of Global Studios, Dee Vasquez, works. I
won't comment on her bizarre style of clothing or her looks in general.
Anyways, try talking to her about "The day of the crime". Vasquez won't say
a thing. She will mention something about a "script", though. She is
looking for a script (why is she in her trailer then...?) for the Steel
Samurai.
Ask about "The director". Vasquez will bring up that she still needs her
script. Before you decide to leave, Vasquez will hand you a note to give
to Manella if you happen to see him. VASQUEZ'S MEMO is added to the Court
Record. Manella should still be in the Dressing Room so let's head there.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Dressing Room
--------------------------------------
Manella is still here. Not sure why in Powers' room to be sure, but he is.
Present Vesquez's Memo to him and Manella will freak out for a second. He
will say that he has no clue where he left the script. That helps up quite
a lot, now then doesn't it.
Fine. The script in question is a bit hard to find-move to Studio One.
-----------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Studio One
-----------------------------------
In a studio there is only one logical place that a script could be. Lo and
behold the script is clearly visible tipped on the director's chair.
Genious! Examine the chair to add the SCRIPT to the Court Record...for now.
With that said and done you should probably head back to Vasquez. Perhaps
with this motivation she will finally talk about something.
-------------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Studio Two Trailer
-------------------------------------------
Present the Script to Vasquez. She will take if from you, then start to
read it. She'll stop, ask if she's a suspect, then inquiry if you wanted
to know more about the day of the murder.
You will learn a great deal more information here. Remember that there was
a meeting in the trailer at noon on the crime day. She will state that none
of the people in the trailer had gone to Studio One that afternoon. It was
actually impossible for them to leave. The road to the Studio was blocked
the majority of the afternoon. She will suddenly break off there.
Talk about "The blocked path" to pick up on the discussion. Remember the
Mr. Monkey head, mascot of Global Studios? Wind was strong that day and it
knocked off the head from its high perch onto the ground. The path towards
the trailer was completely blocked. The path wasn't cleared until 4:00 PM.
Hammer died at 2:30. Since everyone was stuck in the trailer, it would have
been impossible for anybody inside the trailer to go to Studio One and kill
Hammer then.
Phoenix will say the monkey could have falled after 2:30. However, Vasquez
will show the monkey broke when it fell (it also spoke the time. Inanimate
objects speaking the time is such a cliche theme now). Indeed it did break
at 2:15 PM. MR. MONKEY data will be added to the Court Record.
Phoenix and Maya agree they should head back to the offices to plan their
next move. Head there now.
---------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Wright & Co. Law Offices
---------------------------------
Phoenix will admit that the case seems hopeless now. A familar voice
appears, telling him he shouldn't quit yet. Mia's come back now. She will
say you still have one lead. Remember that Cody Hackins saw the entire
murder occur. He is your last chance at gathering any evidence for this
case. Hopefully he will cooperate. Head back to the studios.
----------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Main Gate
----------------------------------
Once you arrive back at the studios, Oldbag will be there to greet you. It
appears she has been chasing Cody for quite some time and is completely
out of breath. She will say at the end of her huffing that she managed to
get some sort of "hostage" on him. Perhaps this is the key to coaxing Cody
to talk to us.
Talk about "The hostage". The other subjects aren't important right now.
Oldbag will comment that while Cody was running from her, he happened to
drop something. Oldbag thinks that Cody will have to come back for it, and
then she'll catch him that way. Mia will say that this hostage is exactly
what you need to get Cody to cooperate. Oldbag won't give it up; she really
wants to catch Cody. Mia mentions that perhaps you have something that you
can trade to her...
Talk about "The director, et al." next. Oldbag plans to leave soon, seeing
as the end of the day is approaching. She has one final request, though.
She wants to see the place where Hammer died one last time before the
police inevitably washes everything away. She doesn't have a keycard
herself for some reason. Present the Cardkey to Oldbag. She is quite happy
that she can see where he died one last time. She was his fan. Um, yeah.
You won't be able to access Studio One anymore if you hand it to her.
Choose to "Lend her the cardkey". Nothing else is in Studio One anyways.
She will be in debt to you, so as a fair trade she will hand over the
hostage she talked about. STEEL SAMURAI CARD is added to the Court Record.
Head for the Employee Area now.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Employee Area
--------------------------------------
You will spot Cody back in the Employee Area. Before you get a chance to
talk to him he will run off into Powers's dressing room. Head inside too.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Dressing Room
--------------------------------------
Cody has nowhere to run in the dressing room. However, he won't talk until
Mia decides to step in and use her feminine charm to get Cody talking. He
still doesn't like you, though. Heh. Perhaps he will talk if you show him
the Steel Samurai Card.
All of the stuff you just did to get this card was in vain; Cody has a
double of that card and it is worthless to him. He also says a great quote:
"By doing this you are eschewing the very basis of our consumer society,
namely the principle of fair trade!" Hah. Smart kid.
Cody will agree to talk if you can get him an Ultra Rare Premium card. How
we are supposed to do that is questionable. Head back to the Studio Two
trailer.
-------------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Studio Two Trailer
-------------------------------------------
Vasquez isn't in her trailer right now. Instead, Penny is in here cleaning
some things up and tidying up the place as a good assistant would do. She
holds some secrets right now. Talk about "The fanboy" first. She will
mention you missed seeing Oldbag chase down Cody. It seemed to be a comical
sight. Talk about "Mr. Hammer". Penny will explain that back in the day,
Hammer was a famous star at Global Studios. She'll say something happened
that made him lose popularity. Talk about "What happened?" last. She will
say she isn't the right person to tell you this. Someone else has key
information you will be needing for later.
Before you leave, present the Steel Samurai Card to her. Penny just happens
to be an avid collector of these cards as well. She is one card away from
having a copy of each one. And wouldn't you know it, you happen to be
holding the very card she needs to finish her collection. She will now beg
to trade with you. She has an Ultra Rare Premium card double she is willing
to trade off. When your foe gives the greater deal, I'd take it. Choose to
"Trade" of course.
URP CARD will be added to the Court Record. Penny will leave the trailer on
a huge excitement overload. Let's hand this to Cody.
--------------------------------------
Date-October 18
Location-Global Studios; Dressing Room
--------------------------------------
Present the URP Card to Cody. He, too, needs this rare card to complete his
set. He's willing to trade now. Phoenix will demand information for this
trade. Sound good to Cody. He's ready to spill out everything he's got.
Start with "The Steel Samurai". Cody will ask that Phoenix obviously likes
the Steel Samurai and what part about him is the best. Reply "His fighting
skills" to continue the conversation. C
