Phoenix Wright 2: Justice for All Walkthrough

----------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 4-1: TRIAL [ PW2841 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 12/30
Time: 9:41am
Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 5
Do the usual with the conversation. Seems like everyone from the
circus except Ben/ Trilo is here. You also reveal that Acro is the
most likely candidate for killing the Ringmaster. Note also that in
today's trial, your usual style of incessantly pressing the witness
will not work anymore. In another words, you can only rely on evidence
to get past Acro and to the truth. Of course, you can still press when
you've substantial proof. Otherwise, a wrong move can result in the
end of the trial, and the conviction of Max.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 12/30
Time: 10:00am
Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 2
Do the usual, get ready for lies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACRO'S TESTIMONY: WHAT YOU WITNESSED [ PW28A1 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was just after 10:00pm, and Acro was resting in bed. Around that
time, he heard a large "THUMP" noise from outside the window. A few
moments later, he saw someone flying right by his window. It was
Max - even though he only saw him from behind, but that's who the
figure looked to him. Acro thought he was dreaming when he saw that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACRO'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT YOU WITNESSED [ PW28A1 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Press when Acro says that he could only see Max from behind. He will
explain that there was enough light for him to see the silhouette
outside his window. He also mentions that he saw the silk hat and the
cloak clearly, but didn't see the white roses as he only saw the
figure's back.
When given the chance, tell the Judge that "there is a contradiction"
to Acro's statement. You would need to present the Silk Hat to
subtantiate your claim - the hat was found at the crime scene, so how
could Acro have seen it on the flying figure?
The Judge will now ask what would could Acro to commit perjury in
court. The answer is obvious: "Acro is the real culprit."
Go through the conversation as both Acro and Franziska doubt your
claims - Acro is wheelchair-bound. How could he do murder in this
fashion, if he could even murder anyone at all? Franziska even has a
doctor's note to confirm that Acro is unable to stand on his own!
The Judge will now ask whether Acro has an accomplice. Reply "of
course he didn't" - you're quite adamant that Acro did this all by
himself.
Map-pointing time now, as the Judge asks you to point out the location
of Acro during the crime. Point to the room that says "Acro (3F)" -
it appears that Acro managed to commit the murder without leaving his
room.
Franziska then points out that Max was clearly spotted at the crime
scene. Acro also challenges you to explain how he killed the
Ringmaster. Select "present evidence" when the Judge asks for it. Now,
you only have one chance, so do this right - present the Max G. Bust
photo. The bust is rather large, and very very heavy as well - heavy
enough to guarantee a certain death, especially when dropped from
above.
Franziska will object, and say that it's impossible for Acro to wheel
a wheelchair with something so heavy. You reply, however, that Acro
used to be an acrobat. As such, he should have more than enough upper
body strength to carry like as heavy as the Max G. Bust.
Franziska will now argue that the physical health of Acro is of
importance to the case. As a result, you will face more testimony even
when you vehemently object to it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACRO'S TESTIMONY: ACRO'S PHYSICAL STATE [ PW28A2 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Acro admits that he could have lifted something the size of that
bust. He has a strong upper body strength from working as an acrobat,
and his injured legs would not affect it. However, lifting the bust
and looking out of the window would have been impossible. There's no
way he could have exerted that kind of force on his lower body. As
such, that makes it impossible for him to have known the location of
the Ringmaster.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACRO'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: ACRO'S PHYSICAL STATE [ PW28A2 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Present the Wooden Box when Acro says that it would been impossible
for him to know the location of the Ringmaster - Acro already knows
the location of the Ringmaster's head beforehand with the help of
this box. You further explain by showing the Crime Photo to the Judge
- the victim was found hunced over the box. Who placed the box
there? When Ben/ Trilo saw the Ringmaster (disguised as Max),
he didn't see him holding the box. This means that the box was
already placed there at the crime scene ahead of the meeting time.
The Crime Photo also shows another interesting point - why is the
Ringmaster hunching over the box? Could it be that he was trying to
LIFT THE BOX? The moment that the bust was dropped down from above
was exactly the same moment that the Ringmaster was trying to lift
the box. In another words, as long as the bust was dropped to the
designated spot at the designated time, it would almost certainly hit
the head of the Ringmaster, spot on.
The Judge will, as usual, ask who actually placed the box at the
crime scene. You will reply that it was Acro. You also add that he
must have connected the box to a rope, and then lowered it down to
the scene.
Franziska then gives you the customary whipping, before arguing that
the Ringmaster's head could have been anywhere when he lifted the box.
You will then explain the special quality of this box - "the
weight". Weighing at 20lb, just to lift it up would have required
someone to squat down to do so. The box is also very large, and has
carrying handles on either side. This means that regardless of who is
liftig the box, his or her head would be in approximately the same
place.
Acro then throws a question at you - do you remember the original
location of this bust? Select "I remember". You confirm that it was
originally found on the table in the cafeteria. Acro then explains
that he could not have leave the lodging house on his own, which makes
it impossible for him to get the bust from the cafeteria to his room.
You will now be asked to show how Acro managed to bring the bust up
to his room. Present Money the Monkey - this bugger loves shiny
objects of any size, and the bust has some shiny cards on it! Money
must have stolen the bust back to Acro's room on his own accord.
Watch now as Franziska tells the Judge that she hasn't found this
bust yet, as her search for the murder weapon was fruitless. Maya then
tells you that perhaps this bust was the murder weapon, but it was
used by accident - Acro may have saw Money's load of stolen items,
and decided to go ahead with his plan to murder.
You've now proven that Acro is more than capable of being the killer.
However, Franziska still doesn't give up. She will then remind you
of Moe's testimony - he saw Max at the crime scene. The Judge will
now ask who could be the person that Moe saw? Present the Max G.
Bust photo again - Moe said that he saw Max's silhouette, but he
didn't actually see Max himself. It was entirely possible for that
who he saw wasn't a human-being at all.
Franziska now argues that the silhoutte that Moe saw was wearing a
cloak. You then reply that it's possible to attach a cloak to a bust.
Or, most possibly, the cloak actually got tangled onto the bust when
they come into contact. The Judge then asks you who was the person who
put the cloak onto the bust. Present Russell's profile - you will
explain this in a moment.
There's only one possible explanation to this whole mess. Firstly,
Acro used a rope to lower the wooden box onto the crime scene. Then,
he attached that rope to the bust, and dangled the bust out of his
bedroom window, directly above the wooden box. At the same time, the
Ringmaster left his room, and went to the scene wearing Max's
disguise - he may have done so to prevent anyone from recognizing him.
He was spotted at the entrance of the lodging house by Ben/ Trilo,
however, When he finally arrived at the scene, he bent over to lift
the box. That's when Acro took the chance, and released the rope. At
the very instant that the bust hit the Ringmaster, however, his silk
hat fell to the ground, and his cloak got tangled onto the bust! The
result was that the body of the bust was covered by the cloak,
resulting in a silhoutte that looked like Max, which Moe witnessed!
Acro, having completed the crime, naturally went about pulling up the
murder weapon - he must have no idea that Moe saw the bust being
raised with the cloak dangling on it, especially when he was in his
wheelchair. As a result, Moe saw the silhoutte "flew" away. Talk about
a coincidence!
Franziska will now ask you for proof to substantiate your explantion.
Present the Silk Hat - Moe was adamant that he saw the silhoutte
"flew away" with the hat on. If your explanation is true, however,
what Moe saw must be correct, because the "hat" that he saw on the
flying silhoutte was none other than the one on the bust!
Franziska still doesn't give up. She brings up Ben/ Trilo's testimony
about the white roses on "Max's" chest that night, but Moe said that
there was no white roses. You will then explain that if the cloak was
snagged onto the front of the bust, the whites roses would end up on
the back of the bust. As the roses were covered, it's only logical
that Moe didn't see them.
And yet, Franziska still doesn't give up! She now demands a motive for
Acro to kill the Ringmaster, whom he has a high level of respect and
gratitude for. Why would Acro want to kill the Ringmaster?
You will go into this after the recess. Save your game as usual.

PART 4-2: TRIAL [ PW2842 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 12/30
Time: 2:17pm
Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 5
Gumshoe secretly brings you the last evidence of the game - the scarf
from yesterday. That's about all during this break, apart from some
rather suggestive conversations with Gumshoe.
Check the records to find that the scarf is stained with Bat's blood
and a small amount of pepper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 12/30
Time: 2:27am
Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 2
Final battle for this case. Let's go.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACRO'S TESTIMONY: ABOUT THE RINGMASTER [ PW28A3 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When Acro and Bat were little, they were abandoned by their parents.
That's when the Ringmaster took them in. Acro became an acrobat at
about nine years old. His sole purpose in life is to find a way to
repay the Ringmaster.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ACRO'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: ABOUT THE RINGMASTER [ PW28A3 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, you don't really need to cross-examine Acro, since you believe
that Acro has no motive to kill the Ringmaster. When asked by the
Judge, select "no need to question him now". You tell the Judge that
you already know the answer as to why Acro killed the Ringmaster,
however, and the Judge will ask whether you can explain Acro's motive.
Select "I can't provide one" - Acro had no reason to kill the
Ringmaster at all. In fact, the Ringmaster wasn't his intended target!
As expected, Franziska will ask you to provide proof of who Acro was
planning to kill instead. Present Regina's profile - Acro was trying
to kill Regina all this while.
Franziska will now ask for evidence to support your claim. Present the
Note from the bulletin board - Acro put this into Regina's pocket
while she was serving breakfast to him on the day of the crime. His
intention was to lure Regina to the crime scene, so that he could
execute his plan of killing her. Regina didn't believe the note was
hers though, and pinned it onto the bulletin board. The Ringmaster saw
that note, and decided to take Regina's place that night instead.
Acro has earlier mentioned in his testimony that it was impossible for
him to lift the bust and look down his window at the same time. As
such, he has mistaken the person arriving at the scene as Regina, and
released the bust down to kill the Ringmaster instead. It was all a
very sad turn of events.
Your explanation will eventually lead to the accident from six months
ago. Select "I know all about it" when asked, and Franziska will ask
for a conclusive evidence. When the Judge asks you to present this
evidence, present the Seasoning Bottle - it contains pepper, and it
was found locked inside the wooden box at the scene. This was the
conclusive evidence to pin Regina as a "murderer".
The crowd could not believe that a seasoning bottle could be a murder
weapon. Franziska then asks you to point out who did Regina actually
"killed". Present Bat's profile - even though he's technically not
dead, to Acro, he might as well have been.
The events leading to the "accident" will unfold. Franziska then
bringsup the point that Leon the Lion was tamed, and even if Regina
commanded him to attack Bat, he wouldn't. Basically, she's aruging
that the case was not an attempted murder.
Maya will then ask whether the incident from six months ago is an
accident. Reply "it was more than that". Soon, you will have to
present the Scarf to substantiate your claim - pepper was liberally
applied onto it. Watch now as the Judge sneezes uncontrollably - this
is when Franziska somehow helps you with your defense by mentioning
the "smile" on Leon's face during that fateful day. Apparently, Leon
didn't mean to bite Bat at all. Instead, he was teased by the pepper,
and he SNEEZED. Since Regina was the one who applied the pepper onto
the scarf, which eventually led to Bat's incident, Acro would have a
strong motive for revenge.
Despite your very convincing explanation, Acro is as cool as ever. He
will now throw you one final challenge - where is the murder weapon?
When given the chance to search his room for the weapon, decline.
Instead, choose "see how things work out first" - Franziska has
earlier mentioned that she has searched Acro's room to no avail, so
there is no point in doing so again.
Your decision to see how things work out first will lead to a familiar
Phoenix Wright moment. The Judge is ready to close the case, etc., and
suddenly someone throws in a "Hold it!". This time, it's Maya. This
will eventually lead to a chance for you to tell the Judge where
exactly is the weapon now. Tell him that it's "somewhere in this
courtroom".
Ignore the crowd's reaction, and then tell the Judge that, in fact,
the weapon is right in the "witness chair" when given the chance to
do so - during Franziska's search, Arco has no choice but to hide the
bust away quickly, so he left it under his wheelchair in the moment of
urgency.
Acro will finally give up, and admit to killing the Ringmaster by
mistake. It was all a very case, but watch as the usually calm Acro
goes down in tears for what he has done - he's still a very lovable
character to me, he's just unfortunate, I think. Regina didn't mean
to kill Bat. She was just trying to tease Bat, because he has earlier
teased her into sneezing by pepper. It was all a lovey-dovey kind of
pranks that you do to people you like. Unfortunately, Bat wore that
scarf, which was meant as a joke, when he offered to put his mouth
into Leon's mouth. Very sad.
Anyhow, Max Galactica verdict: "Not Guilty".
NOTE: I wrote the whole of Part 4-2 in the office as I was doing over-
time. Please pardon me if this portion is rather brief.

Time: 4:27pm
Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 6
Two more decisions to make here. Watch the ending for this episode,
and Regina will ask whether Acro will still want to take revenge on
her. Tell her "I don't think so". She will then ask for proof, so
present Bat's profile - he wants to wait for Bat to open his eyes
again. Regina will now promise to stay by Bat's side until he wakes
up as well (I really hope he does).
As for the fate of the Berry Big Circus, Moe will offer to take over
the role of Ringmaster. Max, seeing Moe's determination, finally
clears up their misunderstandings and offers to stay on to help
fulfil Moe's dream. At least, there is a slightly happier tone to this
ending.
As the episode closes, watch the surprise introduction of prosector
Miles Edgeworth. He's on the phone with Gumshoe, and, amazingly, he
seems to be providing Gumshoe will leads as to how to solve this
case (and perhaps the ones earlier). He is confident that if the
opportunites created by Gumshoe arise, you will definitely be able to
capitalize on them to gain victory.
Expect to see Edgeworth very soon in the next episode.

PART 1-1: INVESTIGATION [ PW2911 ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/20
Time: 7:42pm
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Viola Hall
If you've played the first game, you should be familiar with the
Gatewater Hotel. You're attending the Grand Prix with Maya and Pearl,
at the invitation of a certain Will Powers. You may find him familiar
- he was the actor for the Steel Samurai, predecessor of the Nickel
Samurai. He was also the defendant of a murder case that you solved
a year ago, in the previous game.
During the conversation, Maya comments that something is strange, as
the Jammin' Ninja didn't have his signature bright red guitar with
him. Nevertheless, this was soon forgotten, as Maya reminds you of the
imminent post-ceremony show. Powers also mentions about a press
conference after the show - apparently, the Nickel Samurai has called
for a press conference to confess about something.
Talk to Powers if you want to find out more about him, and the Nickel
Samurai. You will come across the name Matt Engarde - he's the current
actor for the Nickel Samurai. You can also find out more about the
Jammin' Ninja. Powers explains that the Nickel Samurai and the Jammin'
Ninja are from Global Studios and Worldwide Studios respectively, and
there is a fierce competition between them. Apparently, the two actors
don't get along well with each other.
Go to the Hallway now.

Date: 3/20
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hallway
There is some time to go before the show begins, so examine this area
to pass time. Some points of interest: Juan Corrida's room, Matt
Engarde's Room, the bear, the toilet sign, etc. Nothing major here at
the moment. Once you're done, go back to the Viola Hall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/20
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Viola Hall
You, or rather, Maya expresses an interest to go to the press
conference. Powers will pass you the tickets to the conference. This
will be added to your Court Record. Check the records if you want -
you will also find a glossy photo of the Nickel Samurai in your
possession.
You can now go to the Hotel Lobby.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/20
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hotel Lobby
Just when Maya and Pearl are getting ready for the stage show, the
PA announces that it will be cancelled due to unforseen circumstances.
The police told you to stay at where you are, so listen to them. It
seems like something is not right. Powers and you decide to find out
what's wrong, but you will be stop by a woman.
If you have played the previous game, you will find this woman very,
very familiar. In fact, you have taken her on in court before during
the trial of Powers. Yes, she's none other than Ms. Wendy Oldbag.
However, you won't recognize her immediately though, since she's in
an astronaut suit. But the non-stop chatter convinces you that it's
her, and before you know it, she has taken off her, er, head gear.
Check out the cool sequence of her shooting a ray gun towards the end
of her introduction - it's really funny.
As usual, when you get the prompt, talk to her. Ask about herself to
find that she has been laid off by Global Studios after the Steel
Samurai trial from a year ago. She's currently working for the hotel
as a security personnel.
Ask "what happened", and she will tell you that another one of those
"incidents" has happened again. This will prompt Maya to suggest to
use the bathroom as an excuse to check things out. You agree, somewhat
unwillingly.
Examine this area if you want, but you should go back to the Viola
Hall now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/20
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Viola Hall
You find nothing here, and decide to move on. Before you leave,
however, a Bellboy appears, and inform Maya that someone is asking for
her on the phone. She goes off to take the call.
Go to the Hallway now.

Date: 3/20
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hallway
Oh my God, it's Lotta Hart, again! Looks like she's having some issues
with Detective Gumshoe, who is doing his usual round of investigation
here. Gumshoe reveals that a murder has been committed, and he doesn't
want any one to mess around this area.
Lotta runs away for her own investigation soon, and you will get the
chance to talk to Gumshoe. Ask "what happened", and he will reveal
that the Nickel Samurai is under the suspicion of killing the Jammin'
Ninja.
Ask about "Lotta Hart", and Gumshoe will say that Lotta has been
loitering near the room of the Jammin' Ninja, supposedly hot on the
trail of some scoop. Remember this comment, and it will prove to be
important later.
Now, ask about "the victim". You will find out that the actor who
plays the Jammin' Ninja is a certain Juan Corrida. Sounds familiar?
That's because you've just seen the name on one of the doors in this
area earlier. Corrida has been enjoying a smooth career, until the
emergence of Matt Engarde (another name that you saw earlier), who
plays the Nickel Samurai.
Show Engarde's profile to Gumshoe, and he will confirm that Engarde
has just been arrested for the murder of Corrida. This opens up an
option to ask about "arrested?". Gumshoe refuses to divuldge more
infomration about this arrest though.
You should go back to the lobby now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/20
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hotel Lobby
You will Powers here once again. After you tell him about the bad
news, he gives you a Radio Transceiver. It is, apparently, given to
him by the Bellboy you met earlier.
Anyhow, talk to him to find out more about "Matt and Juan". Nothing
really important, except this cements what you had already know about
the two of them being at loggerheads.
Ask about the "press conference", and Powers will reveal that
Engarde's plan was to wear the Nickel Samurai costume and give the
press conference. Hmm, why?
Pearl now asks a very good question - where is Maya? She was away to
take a phone call, but she has been gone, like, forever. This is when
the transceiver beeps. A mysterious voice on the other end greets,
and brings you the bad news - Maya has been abducted! With Maya as a
hostage, the kidknapper demands his ransom - he wants you to take on
the Engarde case, and become his defense attorney. In fact, he demands
a complete acquittal of Engarde, because he believes that Engarde was
set up.
The kidnapper then throws in an even more difficult request - he wants
you to get the not guilty verdict in ONE trial day. Well, if you've
played Phoenix Wright games, you would know that this isn't exactly
possible. Anyway, the kidnapper signs off as "de Killer", which is,
in itself, a great clue.
You decide to inform Gumshoe about this occurence, and he replies with
some sense, for once - if the kidnapper's request is for a complete
acquittal of Engarde, this means that he's obviously the killer.
Gumshoe then reveals that the police have found many evidence for this
case, so much so that he feels that something is wrong. It's almost
as if someone planted the evidence there to set up Engarde.
Anyway, it looks like you've no choice but to adhere to "de Killer's"
request.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Time: ???
Location: ???
Maya finds herself in some sort of a wine cellar. A man then enters
the room - damn, it's the Bellboy! He identifies himself as "De
Killer", and assures Maya that he is not planning to kill her. He
then makes a call to you...
... and the above was what was happening at Maya's end when your
transceiver beeped earlier.

A day has passed, and you should really go to the Detention Center to
meet up your new client, Engarde.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: 8:57am
Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Engarde mistakes you for an insurance salesman, but you quickly
explain your purpose here. Talk to him about "Matt Engarde", but he
replies that his autobiography would be out soon, and his publisher
has advised him not to reveal any personal matters.
Ask "what happened", and once again, he turns evasive. He does,
however, claims his innocence.
Present the Press Conference Ticket, and he reveals that he has no
idea about the conference. Huh?
Anyway, show him the Radio Transceiver. Go through the long
conversation until he finally agrees to let you represent him in
court.
Ask about "Matt Engarde" again. this opens an option to talk about
"the victim'. You would really need to know more about Engarde's
relationship with Corrida, so ask him that. He explains that he has
already beaten Corrida in terms of viewership and the Grand Prix
victory, so he would have no reason to kill him.
Ask "what happened" now. He replies that after the award presentation,
he went back to his room. He was still in his costume because he has
to attend the post-ceremony stage show. When he was about to leave his
room, he heard some commotion - Corrida was already dead by then. It
was then that Gumshoe showed up and arrested him.
This opens up another option to talk about "the charge of murder".
The police found a button from the Jammin' Ninja's costume on
Engarde, which was caught in the pleats of his samurai pants. He is
convinced that someone had planted the button there to frame him.
Pearl then asks you to use the Magatama to find out whether Engarde is
indeed innocent. There is no need to present it, as the process is
automatic this time. Engarde swears that he didn't kill Corrida, and
guess what? No Psyche-Lock.
This concludes Part 1-1 of this episode. Save your game.

Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hotel Lobby
You will find Oldbag here again. Ask about "the victim", and she will
tell you her affections for Corrida. She also seems to have an issue
with Lotta. Not exactly important, but fun to see how she has gotten
over the death of Jack Hammer from a year ago, especially if you've
played the previous game.
Ask "what happened", and she will claim that she saw the most
important moment of the night. This opens up an option to talk about
"what you witnessed". Unfortunately, this one is guarded by no less
than FOUR Psyche-Locks. She wants a present from you before she would
talk.
Go to the Hallway now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hallway
Lotta is still snooping around here. It seems that she has lost her
$700, or rather, $1,600 camera. Ask about this "camera", and she will
tell you more about it. Most importantly, she reveals that she lost
the camera after the murder happened last night. She took a lotta
(sorry, couldn't resist) of shots, but she couldn't remember exactly
what she took. In any case, she couldn't get anything for her scoop.
Lotta's Camera added to Court Record.
Talk about "what happened" now. She replies that she has been hanging
around in this area for quite some time because of a big scoop. You
can now ask about this "big scoop". This is when she will show you a
series of two Psyche-Locks.
Seriously, why does everyone seem to have something to hide?
Anyhow, you can now enter Engarde's Hotel Room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Engarde's Hotel Room
Babe alert! You will find Adrian Andrews here. Ask about her relation
to Engarde, and she will reveal that she is, indeed, Engarde's
manager. Ask about the "night of the murder", and she will tell you
that she had dinner with Engarde before the award ceremony in this
very room. When the show was started, she went to the Viola Hall.
She then went to help with the preparations in the lobby. When it was
time for the post-ceremony show, she called for Engarde. She then
visited Corrida, and promptly found his dead body.
Examine the plate on the table - you will find something weird about
this plate, but you can't tell now. No worries, you will find out
later.
Present Corrida's profile to Andrews now. This opens up an option to
ask about the "motive for murder". When you try to ask about this,
however, she shoves four Psyche-Locks into your face. Will this ever
end!
You should now head across to Corrida's Hotel Room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Corrida's Hotel Room
Crime scene, so expect to see Gumshoe here. He's very cooperative
today, because of the Maya situation. He gives you a map of the hotel
as an opening gift.
Hotel Guidemap added to Court Record.
Ask Gumshoe about the "cause of death". The autopsy report isn't out
yet, but he will show you a picture of Corrida, dead on a chair with
a knife stuck in his chest. There were fingerprints on the knife as
well, so the police are working hard to match the prints now - they
are pretty sure they long to Engarde though.
Crime Photo added to Court Record.
Ask about the "reason for arrest". Apparently, Corrida retaliated
valiantly during the incident, and dropped a button as a result. The
button was found on Engarde. Moreover, there was a witness who saw
the incident, and she's none other than Oldbag - looks like you will
see her in court, real soon.
Gumshoe also mentions about something at the crime scene that was a
little off. This is the cue for you to examine the room. Pan to the
right side of the room, and check out the opened guitar case on
the floor. There wasn't any guitar, but you will get to add the case
to the Court Record because it's wet, and wet only on top of the lid.
Guitar Case added to Court Record.
Examine the dressing table on the right to find a wine glass with
tomato juice in it. It's strange though - everything else is
scattered all over the floor, but this wine glass is intact.
Wine Glass added to Court Record.
This glass should be the "off" thing that Gumshoe mentions. Present it
to Gumshoe. He explains that Franziska noticed about this glass during
her time here. And then, the familiar beep occurs, and Franziska
appears out of no where. After some deliberation, which includes her
whipping Gumshoe heavily, she leaves, but not before leaving a piece
of paper behind on the coffee table.
Examine this piece of paper to find Corrida's autograph on it. He
addresses it to a certain "Wendy". Hmm, you may have use for this.
Autograph added to the Court Record.
Go to the Viola Hall now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Viola Hall
Powers is still around. Ask about the Nickel Samurai and Jammin'
Ninga TV shows if you want - no, I mean, do it, because they are
funny.
Present Andrews profile to him next. He reveals that a rumor is
circulating about her. Ask him about this "gossip on Adrian", and he
will hand over a magazine clipping - it seems that Corrida has been
having a relationship with a rival's manager, who is reported as a
certain Ms. A.A. Adrian Andrews, perhaps?
Magazine Clipping added to Court Record.
Time to break Lotta's Psyche-Locks. Go back to the Hallway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hallway
With Lotta, you know that you will need something juicy. She is now
a tabloid photojournalist, isn't she? Go talk to her again, and start
the Psyche-Lock process with the Magatama on her "Big Scoop". You
suggest that she was actually looking for a scandal involving Corrida.
Present Andrews' profile - Ms. A.A. in the magazine clipping is most
likely to be her. One lock crushed.
Lotta will then ask you to prove your suggestion. Show her the
Magazine Clipping - this breaks the second lock. You can now talk to
her about "Big Scoop".
She admits that she was here to get some real proof that A.A. is
indeed Adrian Andrews. In fact, she has already written the spicy
story, but the paper that she wrote the story on was gone - it was
inside the case of her $1,600 camera. If you remember, the camera was
stolen.
This information will be updated to the Camera in your Court Record.
You can also take on Oldbag's Psyche-Locks now. Go to the lobby to
look for her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Hotel Lobby
Initiate the Psyche-Lock process as usual. Give Oldbag the Autograph
when given the chance - with the name "Wendy" on it, Oldbag will think
that it was signed specially for her. She really wants this, so if you
give it to her, all FOUR of her Psyche-Locks will break at one go!
Talk about infactuation!
You can now ask about "what you witnessed". Oldbag claims that she saw
Engarde coming out of Corrida's room that night. It was about 10
minutes before the body was found. She was on her way to the toilet
(remember the toilet sign at the Hallway?) when she witnessed this.
She has provided this information to the police, and she will be in
court tomorrow to testify. She seems to have some hatred towards
Engarde though - this opens up an option to ask about "Engarde's
Past".
Do so, and Oldbag will claim that Engarde created a scandal that
plagued Corrida - yes, it's that scandal about Andrews. Oldbag is
convinced that Engarde has purposefully shoved Andrews into the path
of Corrida, so as to create a scandal that has proved to dragged
Corrida's reputation through the mud.
You're curious as to how she got an information like this, but you
won't get anything now. So, go to the Criminal Affairs Dept to see
Gumshoe now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept.
Gumshoe tells you about the "airtight evidence" and "airtight
testimony". These are not mandatory, but at least they summarize the
situation pretty well for you.
Present the Magazine Clipping now. Gumshoe reveals that a woman called
Celeste Inpax committed suicde two years ago. Inpax was Corrida's
manager, and was also Andrews' mentor. This opens up an option to ask
about "Celeste Inpax".
Before Gumshoe can tell you more about Inpax, Franziska arrives at
the scene. She sacks Gumshoe on the spot for continuously helping
you. But then, as the situation looks bad for Gumshoe, a familiar
voice interrupts the proceedings.
Miles Edgeworth!
Looks like Gumshoe is safe, but more importantly, you can talk to
Edgeworth for more information. Ask about "tomorrow's trial", and he
will say that you lack a certain truth to win this case alone. He will
also offer his assistance.
Ask about the "proof of von Karma's blood", and you will confront him
about his sudden departure. You feel that he has left because he has
lost to you, thus losing the creed of "perfection" that runs in the
von Karma's school of prosecution.
This opens up an option as Edgeworth asks "why stand in court?". You
reply that you want to defend, and save the lives of your clients. He
then replies that you've more to learn - this is a major clue with
regards to the truth of this case, but you won't know it until later,
of course.
Anyway, since he offered his assistance, present Inpax's profile to
him. He will reveal that there is one riddle left unsolved in her
suicide - her suicide note went missing, and was never found.
Ask about this "missing suicide note". Edgeworth explains that Inpax's
death was definitely a suicide, but they just couldn't find the note.
The police then suspected that someone had hidden it. They also found
traces of ink on Inpax's right index finger, suggesting that she did
write something before she died - most likely to be a suicide note.
Edgeworth also reveals that the police suspected Corrida of hiding the
suicide note, since he was the one who found her body. After this
conversation, he hands over Inpax's Suicide Report, which promptly
gets into your Court Record.
Show this report to him, and he will show you another suicide report -
this one is an "attempted suicide" from none other than Adrian
Andrews! Edgeworth then says that Andrews has a certain secret that
she has been trying to hide - her "co-dependency".
Ask about "co-dependency", and Edgeworth will explain that Andrews
attempted suicide a few days after Inpax's death. Apparently, she has
been highly dependent on Inpax, and has "lost her will to live" after
Inpax's suicide. Edgeworth then reveals that Andrews is someone who
needs to find a pillar of strength to rely on. Without someone to
guide her, she feels uneasy and cannot go through life herself.
This conversation nets the Attempted Suicide Report.
You should return to Engarde's Hotel Room for Andrews now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Gatewater Hotel, Engarde's Hotel Room
Andrews is talking to Franziska at the moment. After the usual banter
with her, you can initiate the Psyche-Lock process on Andrews to find
out the "motive for murder".
Andrews claims that she has never been good at being intimate with
another person. Show her the Magazine Clipping when she says this -
the article details a relationship between Corrida and her.
She dismisses the article though. But you will get another chance.
Present Inpax's profile at the next prompt - she must have gotten
close to Corrida for investigate Inpax's suicide. One lock crushed.
Andrews now argues that there wasn't any thing wrong with the suicide,
but you've another ace up your sleeve. Present Inpax's Suicide Report
- the suicide note was never found, so there IS something wrong with
the suicide after all. The police suspects that Corrida has hidden
the note, but they don't know why. Second lock crushed.
More lies from Andrews, but when she says that she doesn't care about
what goes on in other people's lives, show her the Attempted Suicide
Report. Another lock crushed.
You explain that with these facts in place, it appears that Andrews
looks more likely to have a motive to kill Corrida than Engarde. This
will break the last lock. Phew!
Ask about the "motive for murder" now. Andrews will finally admit to
her insecurities. She also explain that Corrida has hidden Inpax's
suicide note after her death, so she got close to Corrida in an
attempt to retrieve the note. She also adds that she would never have
killed Corrida over the note. At the end of this conversation, you
promise to keep her attempted suicide a secret.
Before you leave, Pearl notices that Andrews has been playing with a
card when she talked to you. Andrews explains that this card appeared
in her handbag suddenly. On the card is a picture of a seashell.
Nothing comes out of this though, so don't worry about it for now.
You should return to your hallway now.

Lotta is gone. Anyhow, you feel that you've gotten enough evidence
for today, and decide to go back to the office.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 3/21
Time: ???
Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices
You explain to Pearl that Andrews has a motive to kill Corrida,
especially when she was the first to discover the body. Before you
can go on, the radio transceiver beeps again. It's the kidnapper again
- looks like he has kept his promise of not going anywhere close to
Maya, so much so that he didn't even give her any food!
This is when Mia returns through Pearls' body. Apparently, Mia has
gotten a message from Maya, so quickly talk to her. Seems that Maya
has channeled Mia's spirit during her stay in the wine cellar, and
Mia got to find out info about the place. Clever. However, Mia has
no idea how the kidnapper looks like.
This brings us back to Maya...

... another "controlling Maya" situation. Examine the white card on
the ground to find that it is, in fact, a similar card that Andrews
was playing with when you talked to her - of course, you wouldn't
know it now.
Examine the door now, and Maya will unlock the door with the card.
Will she be able to escape? Stay tune!
Save your game now.
