Phoenix Wright 2: Justice for All Walkthrough
---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1: INVESTIGATION [ PW2810 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/26 Time: 8:12pm Location: Berry Big Circus, Circus Entrance You're at the circus with Maya and Pearl. As usual, go through the conversation (very long), and then catch the last train home. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: 9:12am Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices Maya brings you the news that the Berry Big Circus has became the center of a sensational murder, and the police have arrested the one and only Max Galactica as a suspect. Since Maya is a huge fan of Max (not. again.), she wants you to go to the Detention Center to visit him. You know what this means. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: 11:19am Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Go through the conversation, as Max makes a suave appearance by performing a card trick to Maya. Talk to him about all the options available: "Max Galactica", "Berry Big Circus" and "What happened". You will find that Max has recently won an award for being the best magician in the world, and that he's currently tied to an exclusive contract with the Berry Big Circus. He claims to have revived the fortunes of the circus after signing the contract. He also explains that Russell Berry, the Ringmaster of the circus, was murdered. Being the last person see the Ringmaster before he was murdered, Max was subsequently "invited for questioning". You can now ask about his "meeting with Russell". Apparently, Max was negotiating about his salary with the Ringmaster. However, you will soon see three Psyche-Locks on him, which you have nothing to unlock at the moment. Present your badge to Max, and he will eventually beg you to help him. You will agree to defend him. He will also reveal his real name, which is Billy Bob Johns. I think we should stick to calling him Max. Anyhow, Max has put all his faith in you, so you should start working. Go to the Circus Entrance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Circus Entrance Go through the conversation with Maya, and then go to the Lodging House - Plaza. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Lodging House, Plaza You will meet Detective Gumshoe here. Ask about "what happened", and he will give you some details of the case. Russell was killed at about 10pm last night. He died outside in the cold, and the cause of death was a blow to his head. There's a strange twist about this case though. This opens up an option to talk about "something unusual". Ask about this, and he will explain that at the crime scene, only the victim's footprints are left on the snowed ground. In another words, the killer's footprints aren't there. There is also the matter of a wooden box that the victim was hunching over - this box is currently in the custody of the forensics team. Gumshoe also jokes about a flying criminal, which reminds you of Max's performance the other night. In any case, the Crime Photo will be added to the Court Record. You can ask him about "tomorrow's trial" as well if you want. Nothing really important here, unless you're a Franziska or Edgeworth fan. You can also examine this area. Nothing really major for now, but don't worry about it. Before you go, present Max's profile to Gumshoe. This opens up an option to ask about Max. Gumshoe says that the police has found Max's incredibly well-made silk hat at the crime scene. This hat is one of Max's magician's trademark. Gumshoe also explains that Max uses the hat, a cloak and white roses as his signature symbols, which you find to be pretty mundane. Gumshoe then mentions about an eyewitness to the crime, but he won't reveal the identity of this person even if you ask him about it. He ends by saying that you are banned from entering the lodging house, which means that the eyewitness must be in one of those halls. He can't stop you though, so go into Moe's Room next. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 1st Floor, Moe's Room Moe is actually the clown of the circus, but he isn't around at the moment, so go back to the circus entrance. From there, go to the Big Top. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Big Top Upon entering the Big Top, a tiger attacks you. Before he finishes you, however, someone stops him. Turns out that his owner, Regina Berry, is here. She's the animal tamer of the circus. She also happens to be daughter of the Ringmaster. Talk to her to find out more about herself. Take special note on her comments about Leon the Lion, and how the lion was killed by the Ringmaster. Present Max's profile to her now. This will open up an option to ask about "what's on your mind". Talk about this, and Regina reveals that Max has professed his love to her recently. However, on the same day of his profession, another colleague called Trilo approached her about the same matter. She isn't very forthcoming with regards to Trilo's identity, but mentions that he's a tenor singer. Regina also shows you the direction to the Ringmaster's Room, so you should go there now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Ringmaster's Room This place is an evidence galore. Examine the envelope on the desk to find the Ringmaster's Papers. These are documents related to Max's salary negotiations. Amazingly, they show that Max have already gotten an enormous raise just a week ago. Examine the posters on the walls, and you will find Max G. Promo Poster. It's emblazoned with Max's three famous symbols - the cloak, the silk hat and the white roses. Both the Ringmaster's Papers and the Max G. Promo Poster will be added to the Court Record. Check the tailcoat as well to find that a scrap of white paper is sticking out of its pocket. You can't take this at the moment though. So, go back to the circus entrance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Circus Entrance You will find Benjamin Woodman, the ventriloquist of the circus here. You can talk to Ben about all the options available, but he can't seems to converse well without his p-p-p-puppet. Looks like you will need to retrieve the puppet for him before he opens up. Go back to Moe's Room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 1st Floor, Moe's Room Moe is finally here. Plough through his foolishly foolish jokes, and talk to him about "Berry Big Circus". He gives you a brief history of the circus, which will also open an option to talk about "Russell Berry". Ask about this, and he will tell you more about Russell, and how he always take care of his employees even when the circus has no customers. Moe also reveals his hatred towards Max, but seems to be hiding something about the magician. Now, ask "what happened". Moe confirms that the murder took place at about 10pm last night. He was tired after the rehearsals then, and was about to go to bed when he caught a peek of the crime. Looks like Moe is the eyewitness that Gumshoe was talking about. Ask "what you witnessed", and Moe will remain tight-lipped. He wants you to tell him a joke before revealing details, and you obliged. Laugh if you can, but the joke falls flat. Moe will fulfil the part of this bargain though, and will tell you what he saw that night. After going to bed last night, he heard an loud noise that sounded like a giant "THUMP!". He jumped out of bed, and saw Max standing in front of the body of the Ringmaster. NOTE: Take note of the illustration here, as it shows only a man in a magician costume, and not the face. You can now show him Max's profile now. Moe will reveal that on the morning of the crime, Max hit the head of Ben real hard. Moe will show you the direction to the cafeteria. He also gives you the Circus Map as well, which will be added to the Court Record. If you check the map, you will find that the cafeteria is just to the right of the Ringmaster's Room in the Big Top. So, head to the Big Top first before going to the cafeteria. NOTE: By the way, if you check Moe's profile, you will find that his real name is Lawrence Curls. That's The Three Stooges for you. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Cafeteria Many "examinable" points here, but the one of immediate attention is the broken orange juice bottle on the floor. Looks like this is the weapon that Max used to "clonk" Ben in the head earlier. Broken Bottle added to Court Record. You have found all the ingredients... I mean, clues, to unlock Max's Psyche-Locks. Go back to the Detention Center now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Present the Magatama to begin the Psyche-Lock sequence. Max is adamant that he was negotiating his salary with the Ringmaster last night, but show him the Ringmaster's Papers to crush one lock - Max's salary has already been concluded last week. Max will now admit that the Ringmaster called him to his room last night. He refuses to tell you why, but you can present the Broken Bottle to crush the second lock - it must have something to do with the "clonking" incident that happened that morning. Max appears shocked at your discovery of this bottle, but he remains silent about what happened with this bottle. When given the chance, present Ben's profile - Max has used this bottle to "clonk" Ben's head earlier, which was why the Ringmaster wanted to talk to him. All locks crushed! You can finally talk to him about his "meeting with Russell". He admits that he had a run in with Ben as they were fighting over the affections of Regina. He also reveals that during the talk with the Ringmaster, he proposed to marry Regina, and the Ringmaster agreed. This conversation opens up an option on "shut him up". Ask about it, and Max will reveal that to shut Ben up, he hid Trilo Quist, Ben's puppet in the Ringmaster's Room. Looks like you will need to go back to the circus again. NOTE: Did you catch the joke? Ben-Trilo-Quist. Ha ha ha. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Circus Entrance You will find that Ben is no longer here. Head towards the Ring- master's Room now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Ringmaster's Room Examine the bookshelf on the left (the one with plenty of trophies on it) to find Trilo. Trilo Quist added to Court Record. You will need to find Ben, who is in the cafeteria now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Cafeteria Present Trilo to Ben, and Ben, I mean, Trilo will start talking. And boy, is he a complete opposite of Ben! Talk to Ben/ Trilo, and you will find that he actually has more humor than Moe the Clown. Anyway, ask about the circus, and Trilo will reveal that he's in love with Regina. This opens up an option on "marriage", so ask Trilo about it to find out that he has indeed professed his love for Regina with a gift of song - ah, that's what Regina meant by "tenor singer" earlier. Ask "what happened", and you will open an option to talk about "Flying Fraud". Ask about this, and Trilo will reveal that the Ringmaster got knocked by the "flying fraud" that is Max. It seems like Ben/ Trilo will be testifying in court tomorrow as well. So, there. You have gotten the identity of the two witnesses that you will be facing tomorrow. Go back to the Big Top now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Big Top A monkey appears out of no where to steal your badge. Man, if you don't get your badge back, how can you flash it? Thankfully, Regina offers to help you to retrieve it. Talk to her about "Money the Monkey" (this is proving to be very difficult to type), and she will explain that Money loves shiny objects. She also tells you to talk to Moe to find out the location of Money. Ask about "Ben and Trilo" and "proposal" if you want, but you should really go to Moe's room. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 1st Floor, Moe's Room Gumshoe has left the plaza, by the way. When you enter Moe's Room, get really for more bad jokes before you can talk to him. Ask about Regina if you want, but your main purpose here is to find Money, so talk to Moe about the monkey. Moe will offer to take you to Money's owner. Choose "Go with Moe" if you're ready to go. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/28 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 3rd Floor, Acro's Room Moe brings you to the 3rd floor of the lodging hall, which happens to be Acro's room. Acro is an acrobat, but neither him nor Money is around at the moment - the perfect chance to snatch your badge back! Before you examine the room, Money the Monkey will be added to the Court Record. Examine the pile of junk right ahead to retrieve your badge. You will also find a ring that has something engraved on it: "From T to R". Trilo to Regina, perhaps? You will add this Ring to the Court Record. This concludes the investigation for today. Save your game now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2-1: TRIAL [ PW2821 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: 9:43am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 5 Go through the conversation with Max, as usual. Ditch the idea of a "dashing young lawyer flying into court fabulously", and get on with your job. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 2 After the introduction, Franziska (yes, she's still your rival this time round) calls Gumshoe to the stands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: DETAILS OF THE EVENTS [ PW28G1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gumshoe says that snow was falling until 9:40pm on the night of the crime. All the circus performers were gathered in the Big Top to practise their routines. The rehearsal ended at about 10pm, while the murder itself took place in the plaza in front of the lodging house at 10:15pm. The Ringmaster was found bent over a wooden box. The cause of death was blunt force trauma that snapped a vertebrae in his neck. Gumshoe will also present the Autopsy Report, which will be added to the Court Record. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: DETAILS OF THE EVENTS [ PW28G1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press the first statement, and Gumshoe will give you more information about the snow. Apparently ahout an inch and a half of the snow was piled up on the ground till the next morning. You find something amiss in this statement, but can't seems to figure it out now. Press the statement that talks about the wooden box. Gumshoe will reveal that the box was extremely heavy, and it was also locked when the police found it. When given the chance, ask "about the contents" of the box. Gumshoe replies that upon unlocking the box, the police found a little condiment bottle inside. The bottle is filled with pepper. One small seasoning bottle, locked in a 20lb box? Something is not right here. Small seasoning bottle added to Court Record. NOTE: True to the Phoenix Wright spirit, this insignificant-looking seasoning bottle will turn out to be quite an evidence later. Press the next statement about the cause of death. Gumshoe reveals that the police has not found the murder weapon yet. He also explains that the murderer could have ran off with the weapon. Franziska will now call Ben to the stands. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN/ TRILO'S TESTIMONY: WHAT YOU WITNESSED [ PW28B1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Once the practice was over, Ben/ Trilo left the tent with Moe. Once they got to the lodging house, Ben/ Trilo went over to the plaza. That's when he saw Max heading towards the scene of the crime. Max was the only one heading that way, so how could he not be the killer? The police then showed up and took Max away. When pressed by Franziska, Ben/ Trilo adds that he saw the silk hat, cloak and the white roses, which are trademarks of Max. The Judge then asks about the possibility of Moe committing the murder. Franziska replies that since the silk hat was found at the crime scene, Max would be the likelier candidate for murder. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN/ TRILO'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT YOU WITNESSED [ PW28B1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press when Ben/ Trilo says that he saw Max heading towards the crime scene. He confirms that there was only one person headed towards that way that night. Select "Ben only saw Max?" - it's strange that Ben/ Trilo only saw Max heading towards the crime scene, so present Russell's profile when given the chance. If Ben/ Trilo was really at the plaza, he must have seen the Ringmaster as well. This is not enough to prove anything, so cross-examination continues. Press Ben/ Trilo's last statement, and he reveals that the police arrived at about 10:30pm. You don't believe he would just stand out- side in that weather merely to "do some thinking". You suggest, instead, that he was waiting for someone. The Judge now asks you to show who Ben/ Trilo was waiting. Present Regina's profile. Watch Trilo's head flies off, and then miraculously returns in-place. Ben/ Trilo then argues that there is no relevance as to who he was meeting that night. But you reply that since he was waiting for Regina, he might have simply ignored anyone who passed by the plaza that night. Ben/ Trilo then admits that he was indeed waiting for Regina. He was, in fact, waiting to propose to her. More testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN/ TRILO'S TESTIMONY: ABOUT THE PROPOSAL [ PW28B2 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben/ Trilo had something to give to Regina. He kept it in his pocket, and was waiting for the chance to propose and give it to her. He didn't get the chance to give it to her on that night, but he still has it in his pocket right now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN/ TRILO'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: ABOUT THE PROPOSAL [ PW28B2 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press when Ben/ Trilo says that he has something to give to Regina. He reveals that it's an engagement ring. When given the chance to ask more about this, select "push on anyway". The Judge then requests Ben/ Trilo to add this information about the ring into the testimony. Now, when he says that he wasn't able to give the ring to Regina that night, present the Ring - it seems like the ring is NOT in his pocket right now, since it's with you! You explain that you found the ring in Money the Monkey's room. Money likes to go after shiny object, which was why he stole this ring from Ben/ Trilo as well. You will now ask him when was the ring stolen from him. He replies that it happened on the night of the crime. Money stole the ring right after Max showed up at the plaza. He then chased after Money, but he was unable to catch up with the monkey. You can now explain to the Judge that "Ben's testimony has a flaw" - he just testified that up until the police arrived, he didn't move from the entrance to the plaza. But, if he indeed went off to chase the monkey, there would be no one watching the plaza during the time that he spent chasing. As such, it was entirely possible for someone other than Max to be at the crime scene. Ben/ Trilo will give one more testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN/ TRILO'S TESTIMONY: WITNESSING MAX [ PW28B3 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben/ Trilo insists that he saw Max in the plaza that night. He showed up about five minutes after Ben/ Trilo started waiting for Regina. In fact, Ben/ Trilo even said "good evening" to Max, but the magician didn't respond. Ben/ Trilo also says that he chased Money for about five minutes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEN/ TRILO'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WITNESSING MAX [ PW28B3 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the Broken Bottle when he says that he greeted "good evening" to Max - Max just "clonked" Ben/ Trilo with the bottle that morning, so it would be quite impossible for him to greet Max after the assault. The Judge will then ask you to explain your point. Select "he saw a different person" - you believe that Ben/ Trilo did see someone, but the person wasn't Max. Now, the Judge will ask you who exactly did Ben/ Trilo see that night. Present Russell's profile again - he's the only possible person that Ben/ Trilo will greet other than Regina. After some argument about the identity of this other person, you reply that he could have been Russell, dressed up as Max with Max's three trademarks. Franziska has no clear evidence to prove otherwise. She will then call upon her next witness. The Judge, as usual, calls for a recess now. Save your game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2-2: TRIAL [ PW2822 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: 11:54am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 5 Do the usual. Max reveals that while in the Ringmaster's Room, Russell left midway through the discussion, and told him to wait because he would be right back. He also reveals that he went to the room with his costume on, but he took it off once he reached the room. This means that the Ringmaster could have taken Max's costume and went out looking like Max. Max asks a good question now - they only found the silk hat at the crime scene. What about the cloak and the white roses? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: 12:06pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 2 Moe tries to make a comedic impression in court to no avail. He will soon be asked to testify. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S TESTIMONY: WHAT YOU WITNESSED [ PW28M1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Moe knows that he's not the greatest comedian in the world. In fact, he hasn't been able to make people laugh for 10 years. No matter what he says, all he gets in return is a vacant stare and polite applause. Since no one ever laughs at his jokes, he has taken to laughing at himself. He ven tried to come up with jokes just for day... Hey, wait a minute! Why is he telling his LIFE STORY? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S TESTIMONY: WHAT YOU WITNESSED (THE REAL ONE!) [ PW28M1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After practice was over that night, Moe went straight back to his room as he was extremely tired. He thought he would go straight to sleep, but before he did, he glanced out of the window. That's when he saw the two silhouttes. They were slightly far away, but he could tell that it was the Ringmaster, and he was with Max, who was wearing his cloak. He kept watching them, and all of a sudden, Max clonked the Ringmaster over the head. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT YOU WITNESSED [ PW28M1 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Before your cross-examination, the Judge reminds you that if you press Moe too hard, it would have a disastrous impact on all who are in the courtroom. I thought this was really funny. However, it's not funny anymore if you allow Moe to start telling jokes during the cross- examination, because the Judge WILL take a chunk out of your health bar if you do so. You should therefore proceed with caution. Ignore the first two statements about Moe going back to his room, and that he was tired. The second one will definitely net you a penalty. If you choose to press the first statement, when asked to change the time to 8pm, say "let's not". Otherwise, Moe will tell a joke, and you will get it from Franziska and the Judge. Instead, press the third statement about Moe glancing out of the window. When given the chance, keep pressing, and Moe will eventually admit that he looked out of this window upon hearing a loud noise. The Judge wilk ask Moe to add this into his testimony. Now, press this revised testimony about a loud noise. Moe will say that it sounded like someone getting hit with something very hard. Press the next statement about the silhouttes. Moe explains that the two figures were about 30 feet from his window. He also adds that it was snowing that night, thus reducing visibility. When Moe says that he saw Max clonking the head of the Ringmaster, press him. Upon pressing, Moe will appear confused about whether he saw the murder weapon. Franziska warns you about harrassing her witness, and asks you for any clear basis to believe that Moe didn't see the crime. Select "of course I do!", and you will reply that the basis lies in Moe's very own testimony. He has earlier mentioned that he heard a loud noise that sounded like someone getting hit with something hard. If that is true, it's likely that this loud noise would be the time when the killer blow was struck. If Moe only glanced out of the window after that, he wouldn't have seen the act of murder at all. Moe will then admit that he didn't see Max "clonk" the head of the Ringmaster. In fact, when he looked out of the window, the Ringmaster was already dead. The Judge will ask Moe to testify about the other silhouette that he saw. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S TESTIMONY: THE SILHOUETTE [ PW28M2 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Moe was a bit far away, but the shadow that he saw could only have been Max. He was sure because he saw Max's symbols - the silk hat, and the black cloak. His face was silhouetted, but there was no doubt that it was Max. Moe also adds that since Max's cloak was fluttering in the wind, he couldn't really see what he was carrying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE SILHOUETTE [ PW28M2 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the Max G. Promo Poster when Moe says that he saw the silk hat and the black coat - how about the WHITE ROSES? Moe then admits that he didn't see any roses on the silhouette. Franziska objects, and says that it's too dark to see the roses, but you reply that the roses are white, and are hard to miss. She then argues that the roses must have fallen off when Max attacked the Ringmaster. You will then reply that if that was the case, the police should have found those roses by now. The Judge then asks about the relevance of these roses. You will quote Ben/ Trilo's testimony earlier about the three symbols, and explain that no one could mistake someone for wearing these symbols. Ben/ Trilo saw all the symbols, but Moe didn't see the roses. This sounds like a contradiction. The Judge agrees with you, and will ask Moe to testify again. However, he warns that if you fail to find anything substantial, he will issue his verdict. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S TESTIMONY: THE SILHOUETTE, PT.2 [ PW28M3 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Moe is sure that there were no white roses that night. He's equally sure, however, that the other two symbols were there, especially the silk hat. In fact, Max was wearing the hat the entire time he was on the scene. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE SILHOUETTE, PT.2 [ PW28M3 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Judge tells you that you all but ONE chance of getting a contradiction. No pressing, no nothing. You will have to present one evidence to counter one statement. If you do it wrong, you lose. With such a stiff restriction, present the Silk Hat at the last statement, when Moe says that he saw Max wearing the hat the entire time when he was at the crime scene. You explain that the silk hat was found at the crime scene, which means that some time during the attack, the hat must have fallen off the killer's head. Moe, however, claims that the killer was wearing the hat the entire time. In fact, despite you mentioning the contradiction, Moe was still adamant that it was Max who have left the crime scene wearing the silk hat. You will then find something amiss, and will ask Moe how did the murderer leave the crime scene. Moe replies that the murderer, obviously, just turned around and walked away. When asked to counter Moe's reply, present the Crime Photo - remember the footprints? In this photo, you can only see the footprints of the victim, but not the murderer's. As such, the murderer couldn't have just "turned and walked away". Moe will then agree to reveal the truth (again). Franziska, however, attempts to stop him from doing so. Regardless, the Judge will order for one more testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MOE'S TESTIMONY: THE TRUTH [ PW28M4 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The majority of this testimony are rubbish. Just note the part where Moe says that he saw the murderer flew away through the air, and disappeared into the darkness. This explains why there wasn't any footprints. You won't need to cross-exammine Moe this time, but the Judge will ask for your opinion about this flying incident. Reply "he's telling the truth". Regardless of your answer, however, the Judge will order for more investigation. Looks like you won't get the verdict today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: 2:33pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 5 Max reveals that he actually used invisible wires to hoist him through the air during his show. As such, it's impossible to fly as and when he likes. Other than that, nothing of note now. Save the game, take a break. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 3: INVESTIGATION [ PW2830 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: 3:03pm Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices If you want, talk to Maya. Otherwise, go to the Detention Center. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Talk to Max about the "night of the murder" if you want, but the key here is to discuss "today's trial". Max will eventually reveal that he has won the International Grand Prix, which is some sort of award for people in the show business. This opens up an option for "Grand Prix". Talk to Max about it, and he will show you a picture from the event. In this picture, Max was holding a trophy, and surrounded by the limelight. Grand Prix Photo added to Court Record. Present the Grand Prix Photo back to him, and he will tell you more about the award. Apparently, he got a trophy and a bust as a reward for this victory. He also tells you that you can find one of this awards in the circus' cafeteria - the bust. Looks like you should be heading back to the circus now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Circus Entrance You will find Ben/ Trilo here. It seems like Trilo is teaching Ben to sing. Maya offers to return the Ring to Ben/ Trilo, which removes it from the Court Record. Talk to him if you want, but there is nothing really major here. Go to the plaza now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Lodging House, Plaza You will find Gumshoe here. He informs you that Franziska is at the circus as well, and she's currently examining Acro's room. The reason she's doing so is due to Moe's testimony - if the killer really flew away from the plaza, he would have passed right by Acro's window. You decide that you should avoid Franziska for now, so head towards the cafeteria instead. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Cafeteria After tormenting Gumshoe will all his jokes, with compliments from Franziska, Moe is back at the circus. Endure through his lame jokes once again, and quickly present the Grand Prix Photo to him. This will open up an option to talk about "Max's Bust" (it's not what you think!). Moe reveals that Max's Bust was supposed to be on one of the small tables in the cafeteria. Unfortunately, it sort of went missing about five days ago. He will then show you a picture on the bulletin board, which Max pinned up for all to see. You will now get to see Max's Bust - it's a greenish, shiny piece of statue that looks like all those Randy Bowen superheroes busts that I buy all the time. Max G. Bust (the photo) added to Court Record. Moe will then tell you something has changed in the cafeteria. Ask him "what changed", and he will reply that on the morning of the crime, a piece of paper was posted. The paper was torn, so he could only see its title - " To The Murderer!". Moe has no idea who posted it, but it seems like someone tore the rest of the message away. Note added to the Court Record. Before you go, you may want to talk to Max about what he witnessed, he will reassure you that he really saw the killer flying around - no Psyche-Locks on him, which means he's telling the truth. Hmm. You should return to the Detention Center now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Present the Note to Max. He will reveal that on the day of the crime, the Ringmaster and Regina was at the cafeteria. The Ringmaster read the note, and became very angry about it. He then tore it off the wall and shoved it into the pocket of his tailcoat - remember that scrap of paper in his room earlier? Looks like it's time to pay a visit to the Ringmaster's Room again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Ringmaster's Room You can now take the scrap of paper from the tailcoat. Maya combines it with the note in your possession to form a complete note. Note updated in the Court Record. Check your records to read this note in its entirety: "To The Murderer! You haven't forgotten what happened six months ago, have you? I have conclusive evidence of what took place. Meet at 10:00pm tonight at the lodging house plaza. " Ok, so someone posted a message on the bulletin board to get the attention of a certain "murderer". Why did the Ringmaster tear it away then? Was he a murderer of some sort, or was he protecting someone else? Time to go back to the plaza. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Lodging House, Plaza Gumshoe is back here again, after finishing his investigations with Acro. Soon enough, you will hear an irritating beep. Apparently, this beep means that Franziska is somewhere near. Gumshoe will take the opportunity to run away. Before long, Franziska and her whip makes an appearance. Talk to her about "tomorrow's trial", and she reveals that she has found a "conclusive evidence" and a "conclusive witness". Looks like Acro will be testifying in court tomorrow - and you haven't even seen him yet. Ask about her motives for "revenge", and she will reveal that she wants revenge not for her father, but for none other than Miles Edgeworth. Talk to her about Edgeworth, and she will explain that Edgeworth is like a brother to her, as both were trained by her father, Manfred von Karma. Franziska is blaming you for Edgeworth's death. Ask about his death, and you will recall Edgeworth's reaction to the DL-6 Incident. He left a note in his office: "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth choosed death", and vanished. Franziska is adamant, however, that Edgeworth is still alive. The "death" that she wants revenge for is for the death of the "Prosecutor" in Edgeworth. NOTE: Again, to find out more about the DL-6 Incident, buy the first game. As to why this portion here is important, it's because our favorite Prosecutor Edgeworth is just about to make an appearance, soon. You should now get back to the case. Visit Acro's Room now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 3rd Floor, Acro's Room Acro will introduce himself. It seems like he's expecting you. After the usual banter, ask Acro about the circus, and he will tell you that the Ringmaster took him in after his own parents abandoned him. He was grateful to the Ringmaster, and was devoted to repaying him in any ways possible. Notice his statement about the Ringmaster being too kind to his daughter, though. It seems like Acro has a grudge against Regina. Acro used to performed on the tightrope and flying trapeze, but he's now wheelchair-bound. Ask about the wheelchair, and he will explain that the nerves in his legs were badly damaged. As a result, he can't even stand, or leave the building by himself. When you ask how he sustained the injury, however, you will find three Psyche-Locks! Something is not right with this seemingly lovable character. He explains that his injury was sustained six months ago, and adds that it was sustained during practice. If "six months" sound familiar to you, you're on the right track in this case. Ask Acro about "what happened". He explains that he wasn't in his room yesterday when you visited, because he was at the hospital. He then reveal that he "saw something" about the murder. Ask "what he witnessed". He will say that he heard a huge sound coming from below his window. When he looked out of the window, he saw Max flying straight up into the air. There's nothing else you can do here at the moment - not until you find something to unlock Acro's Psyche-Locks. Go to the Big Top now - Regina is probably back. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Big Top Once you enter the Big Top, Regent the Tiger will attack you again, until Regina stops him from doing so. She apologizes for the attack, and explains that she was actually training Regent to "teach Money the Monkey" a lesson. So, ask about the monkey. She will tell you that Money has stolen her stage costume. She will ask you to help retrieve it. There's no way you could turn down the request, because all three options given to you are positive! You may want to ask her about her father. There's nothing really important in this conversation, except maybe the brief mention of the death of Leon the Lion again. You may want to take some time to ponder the following: if the Ringmaster is really such a nice person, as portrayed by every member of the circus, what would make him kill the lion? Anyway, present the updated Note to Regina, and she will reveal that this note was originally in her pocket on the day of the crime. She's responsible for bringing breakfast up to the third floor for Acro. On the day, after doing so, she found this note in her pocket. Since she wasn't a murderer, she thought that the person who put this in the pocket might have made a mistake. As a result, she pinned the note on- to the bulletin board. This new revelation will be updated to the Court Record. It's time to retrieve the stage costume. Go to Moe's Room now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 1st Floor, Moe's Room Moe isn't here, but Money is. Simply go through the conversation, and you will get the chance to confront the monkey. Tell him to "give it back, monkey-brain!" You will eventually retrieve the costume for Regina. Stage Costume added to Court Record. Return to the Big Top now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Berry Big Circus, Big Top Present the Stage Costume to Regina. She's delighted to have it back. She then goes on to explain that the costume actually belongs to Leon the Lion. You can now ask about "Leon". From this, you will finally get some details on the death of the lion. Regina explains that one of Leon's tricks went awry during practice. This trick involved him opening his mouth, with Regina sticking her head inside to stunt the crowd. Unfortunately, during a practice session, Leon bit someone. The Ringmaster was furious about this, and killed Leon as a result. Leon will be added to the Court Record. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Big Top, Cafeteria Moe is still sticking around here. Ask him about the circus again, and he will tell you that Acro was particularly upset after the murder. He also reveal his plans to take over the Ringmaster's role, since he has no breakthrough in being a clown. Soon, he will also mention about getting over "a tragedy". This will open an option to ask about "get over it?". Try asking him about this, and he will eventually show you two Psyche-Locks concerning the incident from "six months ago". Fortunately, you already have the items to unlock them. So, do the usual with the Magatama to begin the process. You've got an idea what happened back then. When giving the chance, present Leon - the incident from six months ago, according to what you've gathered so far, must have something to do with the death of Leon. One lock crushed. When you ask Moe the identity of the person who was bitten, but he will tell you that he promised someone that he wouldn't say anything. Apparently, this person was involved in the incident as well. When asked to guess this person, present Acro's profile. Second lock crushed. You can now ask him about "get over it?". He reveals that the victim of Leon's accident was none other than Acro's younger brother, Bat. The bite caused Bat to suffer massive brain damage, and he will never recover from the coma that he's in. This opens up an option to discuss about "Acro's brother". Moe reveals that Bat fell in love with Regina, and in a bid to win her love, he met his doom. During a practice six months, Bat suddenly volunteered to perform with Leon. Check the picture on the top screen now to see Bat shoving his head into Leon's mouth - take special note of the scarf that he was wearing. Anyhow, Moe tells you that the accident was rather strange, because Leon has a weird look on his face, almost as if he was smiling, before he bit Bat. A day after this incident, the Ringmaster shot Leon. Moe then offers to use the seasoning bottle on his burgers. Maya responds with a sneeze. Moe will then add that Bat likes to tease Regina with pepper, so as to make her sneeze - this is a vital clue to the case, but you haven't notice it yet. It's now time to unlock Acro's Psyche-Locks. Go to his room again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 12/29 Time: ??? Location: Lodging Hall, 3rd Floor, Acro's Room Present the Magatama to initiate the Psyche-Lock process. When given the chance, present Leon - Acro was trying to save Bat during that accident six months ago, and as a result, he lost the use of his legs. One lock crushed. Acro denies that he fought the lion, but you reply that he had to fight to save someone. Present Bat's profile when given the chance - second lock crushed. One more lock to go. Acro is still being evasive, but you suggest that his relunctance to talk could be due to something that he doesn't seem to like much. When given the chance, present Regina's profile - Leon's owner was Regina, and both Acro's and Bat's conditions were caused by Leon. Surely, Acro must have harbored some hatred towards her? Acro then replies that Leon was never taught a command to attack people, and Regina would never command Leon to kill someone she presumably was on good terms with. However, you've proof that Acro hates Regina. Present the Note when given the chance - Acro was the one who planted the note into Regina's pocket. Third lock finally crushed. Talk about the wheelchair now. Acro will finally reveal the truth behind the Leon incident. Apparently, Bat had a dare with Regina - if he was to put his head into the mouth of Leon successfully, Regina would have to go out with him on a movie date. As a result of this accident, Bat is still unconscious at the hospital. A new option about "Regina and Bat" opens up. Ask Acro about this, and he will show you the scarf that Bat was wearing when Leon attacked him. It's covered with blood. Apparently, this was a gift from Regina to Bat. Acro also confirms Moe's observation that Leon appeared to be smiling when he attacked Bat. Just when you're about to add this scarf into your records, Franziska appears suddenly. You've no choice but to oblige. This concludes Part 3 of this episode. Save your game now.
