Phoenix Wright 3: Trials and Tribulations Walkthrough
---------------------------------------------------------------------- ADRIAN ANDREWS'S PSYCHE-LOCK: SACRED URN [ PW3512 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Initiate the process, and when Andrews claims that the sacred urn may be a fake, show her the urn itself - Pearl has confirmed that the urn is indeed genuine. You'll explain to Andrews that Pearl accidentally broke the urn one year ago, and it appears that it was broken again recently. When asked how do you know that it was broken recently, show her the treasure exhibit poster - when this photo was taken, the pot still showed the words "I AM". When it was retrieved, it shows the correct word "AMI". One lock down. Andrews will now ask for proof that the urn was broken at Lordly Tailor. Present the paint marks - the pink paint on the urn coincides with those found on the walls/ floor of this basement. Andrews argue that you can get pink paint anywhere, and there's no proof linking the paint on the urn to the paint marks. Show her the urn box to finally break down her resistance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can finally talk about the "Sacred Urn" now. Watch the scenes now as Andrews explains the incident leading to the destruction and re- construction of the urn. It's rather comical, but I'll leave it to you to read through the huge chunk of text. More importantly, Andrews confirms that no one else has seen the urn after she kept it back into the box. All the above information about the urn will now be summarized and updated into your records. There's still one more mystery though. Ask about "Ami Fey's statue". When you first arrived at the basement, there wasn't any paint marks. Andrews then explains that she made use of the golden statue to hide those marks. It's strange, however, that the statue was eventually moved. She obviously has no idea who moved it. The movement status of the golden statue will be updated in the court record. Somehow, it seems like the urn is connected to Kane's murder. Where will this lead you? The answer lies in court tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-1: TRIAL [ PW3513 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 9:41am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 The trial of Atmey is just next door, and it's attracting a huge crowd. Click through the usual conversations until the trial starts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 6 As usual, go through the initial bunch of conversations as the judge summarizes the case. Soon, Ron will be ask to take the stands as the first witness today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S TESTIMONY: MY VISIT TO KB SECURITY [ PW3514 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "That evening, around 1:00am, I went to see Mr. Bullard in his office at KB Security." 2: "The blackmail letter I got... It ordered me to go there." 3: "I'd been working for KB Security until a year ago, so I knew where his office was." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MY VISIT TO KB SECURITY [ PW3514 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 2. Ron shares more about the blackmail letter, or rather, letters that he has been receiving. You stopped him from talking too much though. When given the chance, however, choose "Press further" to proceed. Ron now talks about the contents of the latest letter, which demanded $50,000 from him. Godot believes it's a good enough motive for murder, but Ron replies that he never intended to pay the money anyway. This leads to an addition to Ron's testimony. 4: "The blackmail thread didn't scare me. It wasn't going to cause me trouble or anything." Now, press at 3. Godot takes the opportunity to imagine his own motive for the murder again, so choose "Why he (Ron) was fired" to continue. Ron explains that in order to fulfil the spending demands of Desiree, he has stolen some company data for cash. As a result, he was fired. However, the matter was kept under wraps, and it appeared to others that he had merely resigned. This leads to another addition to Ron's testimony. 5: "He fired me for selling company secrets... but Dessie doesn't know about that." Go back to 4 now, and press the statement. Ron believes that the blackmailer was referring to his identity as Mask*DeMasque. Godot objects this explanation though, since Kane had no proof that Ron was the thief. Click through the next scenes, until you begin to wonder if the truth about Ron's sacking would've become a problem to him. Select "Yes, he would" to proceed. Godot will now ask you to provide evidence to prove your assertion. Present Desiree's profile - Ron is basically scared of letting his wife know about the secret. This, however, leads to Godot's latest fabrication of a murder motive - if Kane was to threaten to Ron with the revelation of the secret to Desiree, it'd make a very strong motive for Ron to kill. Damn, you've fallen into Godot's trap again. Nevertheless, keep going until you hit the next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S TESTIMONY: AT THE CEO'S OFFICE [ PW3515 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When I entered the office, there was a suspicious shadow there." 2: "Suddenly, I was hit on the forehead. After that, I remember being a bit dazed." 3: "If I hadn't been wearing that, I would have been killed!" 4: "When I came to... Mr. Bullard was lying there... dead!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RON'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: AT THE CEO'S OFFICE [ PW3515 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 3. Ron explains that the "that" that he was wearing was the DeMasque costume. This leads to a revision to his testimony, again. 5: "I'd have been killed if I hadn't been wearing my Mask*DeMasque costume!" Press at 5 now. Ron says that he's dressed as the DeMasque, because he thought that he was being blackmailed over the DeMasque issue. Thus, he felt that he should go as his alter ego, just to be safe. "Press harder" when given the chance. Ron explains that his cape got caught on the safe door when he was hiding Kane's body... oops. More additions to the testimony, then. 6: "I panicked and hid the body in the safe. It took about 10 minutes." Immediately present the buzzer record - the buzzer was pushed once at 1:02am. If Ron was truly the killer, he'd have ran as soon as that buzzer sounded. Watch the next scenes as your engage in a series of objections. Your underlying point is that when the buzzer was sounded, Ron was unconscious. Meaning, there must be another person in the office at that time. Godot is furious, and he now argues now the buzzer could've been pressed by Kane himself. Well, you know that's not true. When given the chance, choose "I can prove it alright", and then present the buzzer - it has no fingerprints on it! More objections flying around. Just click through the arguments as usual. You're gaining the upper hand over Godot here, so enjoy the moment. And then, the judge asks a relevant question - if there was indeed another person in the room, and if that person had just killed Kane, why would he press the buzzer? After taking some time to gather your thoughts, select "To call the security guard" to proceed - the killer must have the intention to alert the guards on purpose. If the killer was to escape immediately after pressing the buzzer, and if a guard was to arrive at the scene soon after, the only ones left in the room would be Kane's body and Ron. It's obvious that the killer wanted to put the blame on Ron. More exchanges, and the judge will finally ask you to pinpoint the identity of the real murderer. This should be pretty obvious to you right now. Present Atmey's profile to proceed. Yeah, he's the one. Now, Atmey is currently on trial next door, for the petty crime of theft. It was his plan all along to be charged with a lesser crime as compared to murder. A guilty verdict in the theft charge would've given Atmey the perfect alibi for the murder of Kane. Click through the rest of the scenes, as you race against time to haul Atmey into this courtroom before the verdict at the next door. As you ponder over your options, Mia does one of her spooky encouragements again. If this is your first time playing this series, don't panic. The return of Mia in the form of a spirit is as common as Britney Spears doing a stupid thing in public. It happens in every game in the series, and I've been wondering when she'd "make an appearance" for some time now. Recess time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 11:58am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 5 Nice to see Payne again. And a new judge as well. Anyway, you appear right on time as the judge was about to pass a verdict. You immediately file an accusation of murder for Atmey. So, it's do or die in the next round. See you soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 4-2: TRIAL [ PW3516 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 12:14pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Click the jump and head towards the trial quickly. Take note of your main objectives in this trial: 1. to crush Atmey's alibi at Lordly Tailor; 2. to establish his motive for killing Kane. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 12:21pm Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 6 Go through the usual initial conversations until Atmey gives his testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: THE ALIBI [ PW3517 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I was stealing the urn as Mask*DeMasque, just as I announced I would..." 2: "I had more than enough time to prepare. It was a pathetically easy job." 3: "A photograph contains no words... But in this case, one turned out to be my witness." 4: "The time at which the camera captured Mask*DeMasque was the same time as the murder!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE ALIBI [ PW3517 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two possibilites here. Either the DeMasque in the security camera photo is fake, or the photo itself is. To proceed, you'll have to press every statement. At 1, Atmey will challenge you to name his accomplice. Choose "Give it up", since you've no idea who it was, if there ever is one. At 2, Maya finds it strange that Atmey is willing to sacrifice his reputation as an "Ace Detective" just to steal the urn. Ignore 3, and press at 4 now, Godot explains that it's not possible that the security camera photo is altered. Return to 3, and Atmey reconfirms that the security camera photo is the very thing the proves that he committed the theft. You begin to wonder if there's something "funny" about the photo. When prompted, select "You bet there is" to proceed. Something doesn't seem to match in the photo, and you'll have to point it out. When given the chance, point at the area with the paint marks - there was something that was supposed to be here, but wasn't. Present the golden statue when when the judge asks when it was - if you remember the information that Andrews provided, she mentioned that the statue was moved into the basement during the day of the crime to hide the paint marks. You also confirm that when you first visited the basement, the statue was also just beside the door. As such, if the security photo was truly taken that night, the statue would've apear in it. Godot objects, and says that when he visited the crime scene the day after the theft, the statue was sitting to the right of the paint marks. You reply that someone must have moved it. When asked to show who moved the statue, show Atmey's profile - he was the only person down at the basement that night. Continue on, and the judge will ask for the reason for the movement of the statue. You explain that Atmey pretended to be DeMasque to create an alibi that he was at Lordly Tailor that night. You then tell him that the photo contains a fatal flaw. When asked to expose this flaw, point to the timestamp on the photo - Atmey has taken the photo days before Kane's murder so as to create an alibi for himself. However, the statue was only moved to the basement on the day of the theft itself. So, when Atmey saw the statue, he had no choice but to move it away to make the room match with the way it was shown in the photo. Atmey then shows the camera data, and aruges that the camera went off once on the night of the theft. You object, however, and explains that even though the camera was set up by Lordly Tailor, the program used to manage the data was provided by Atmey himself. The data could've been easily tampered with. Watch the scenes that follow. Soon, Godot will get Atmey to testify again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: THE SACRED URN HEIST [ PW3518 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I first received the request from Lordly Tailor about 20 days days ago." 2: "The urn was placed in a box, and Zvarri! It was then sent to the warehouse." 3: "Hence, I was actually unable to see the urn for myself until the day of the crime." 4: "I knew it was an extremely valuable treasure, so I sent my card 10 days beforehand." 5: "I then handled security by myself to ensure that my crime would go on smoothly!" 6: "At last, I held the urn in my hands for the first time at 1:00am on October 12th." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE SACRED URN HEIST [ PW3518 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The solution to this one is rather tricky. Click through all the way to 6, and then show Atmey the Demasque's calling card - on the card, the term "speckled urn" was mentioned. The "speckled" here would refer to the pink splotches on the urn. However, these splotches wouldn't even be on the urn if Andrews hasn't tripped and fell over the paint can. She also confirmed earlier that the urn was kept out of sight since her little accident. This means that Atmey wouldn't have known about the "speckles" on the urn... unless he has seen the urn BEFORE sending the calling card. Now, when would that be? Perhaps... when he was taking the fake security photo? Well done, Phoenix! It isn't time for celebrations yet though. Watch the next scenes as Godot demands to know the motive for Atmey's decision to murder Kane. This will eventually lead to Atmey's next testimony. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: MOTIVE FOR MURDER [ PW3519 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "I, Luke Atmey, had no points of contact with the victim whatsoever." 2: "Kane Bullard decided to investigate Mask*DeMasque and simply mistook who he was!" 3: "It was Mr. Bullard who wrote the blackmail letter and sent it to Ron DeLite." 4: "And it was again Mr. Bullard who harbored a grudge against Mr. DeLite for his betrayal!" 5: "Mr. Bullard's mistake is quite excusable. The defendant truly believes he is Mask*DeMasque!" 6: "That is why Mr. DeLite saw it fit to kill Kane Bullard. Truly a tragedy..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: MOTIVE FOR MURDER [ PW3519 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Before you begin, Godot adds that after a handwriting analysis, it's confirmed that it was indeed Kane who wrote the blackmail letter found at Ron's hideout. This new information will be updated in the records. Anyway, this one is rather easy. At 3, present the blackmail letter - there's one major contradiction in the letter. When asked to point out this contradiction, show them the newspaper clipping - as I mentioned earlier, the Tear of Emanon is BLUE in color. However, the blackmail letter clearly talks about a RED jewel. Surely, the "red diamoned" in the blackmail letter couldn't be the Tear of Emanon. Therefore, the blackmail letter could be intended for someone else. Godot objects again. This time, he challenges you to identify the true receipient of the letter. Show them Atmey's profile again - he managed to "recover" the stolen treasure from DeMasque's fourth heist, and received a jewel as reward. The red diamond ring on his finger, right now! Oh yeah! Watch the next scenes. Godot objects and questions about the next mystery on the blackmail letter. What could be Atmey's "identity" be that it's worth blackmailing for? Think, Phoenix, think! Ron has been receiving blackmail letters from an unknown source. Who could this blackmailer be? Select "a blackmailer" to proceed - clearly, Atmey has been black- mailing Ron since his first heist. Atmey still doesn't give up. Instead, he challenges you to show proof that Atmey knew about Ron's identity since the first heist. Present the newspaper clipping - you'll now recount Ron's testimony about how Atmey found out his secret identity by finding his costume from the trash can. Atmey goes crazy from here. You must've thought that you've finally beaten this case, but no! Godot now wants you to prove that Atmey was actually at KB Security that night - even if he wasn't at Lordly Tailor, there was no proof that he was at the crime scene. When asked to show proof, choose "can't prove it" to proceed. It's unfortunate that you've no proof at the moment to nail Atmey. Worst still, you won't be given another chance to cross-examine Atmey as well. Watch the next scenes as Godot explains the "double jeopardy" rule - should a defendant be tried and found innocent in court, he cannot be tried again for the same crime. Time is running out for you. Continue through the conversation until help finally arrives in the form of Mia, woohoo! Mia brings to the judge attention about a bunch of remarks from Atmey after the cross-examination. You'll need to prove the importance of these remarks. Which means, yeah, you've gotten your chance to cross- examine Atmey one more time. Meanwhile, watch Godot's reaction after he saw Mia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S TESTIMONY: THE LAST TESTIMONY [ PW3520 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "Indeed, it is true that I was not at Lordly Tailor." 2: "I had to leave to see about another vitally important request." 3: "I had known about the date beforehard, so I had this photograph readied." 4: "My brilliant deduction was what informed me that the true culprit was Ron DeLite." 5: "And thanks to the key card and wallter, it was abundantly clear that he was there." 6: "I was also able to make a deduction from the buzzer, which only sounded once." 7: "The button did not have any fingerprints on it... Why?" 8: "The victim would have left prints if he sounded it. Which means the killer sounded it." 9: "Mr. DeLite was wearing his Mask*DeMasque outfit, which is why he left no prints." 10: "And, the blackmail letter? The victim likely just mistook the color of the jewel." 11: "Zvarri! Therefore, all the evidence points to the poor boy!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ATMEY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE LAST TESTIMONY [ PW3520 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Longest. Testimony. Ever. You get only one chance to get this right. Press at a wrong statement, and it's gameover. As Godot downs his 17th cup of coffee, press at 9 - how did Atmey know that Ron went to the CEO's office in the DeMasque costume? This was only revealed during the cross-examination of Ron earlier, and Atmey certainly wouldn't have know it... unless he saw Ron in the costume at the crime scene that night! Click through the scenes that follow as you explain the events on that fateful night. There's still a twist at the end. If Atmey isn't DeMasque, then Ron must be. So, he should be arrested for theft right? Well, you've already proven in court yesterday that he isn't the phantom thief. Remember "double jeopardy"? Yeah, Ron cannot be charged with the same offence twice, so he gets scot-free! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 10/14 Time: 3:35pm Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 4 Watch the scenes that follow. There will come a point where you've to encourage Ron. Show him the sacred urn to proceed. You can get this wrong and still win the case though. That's a happy ending for the DeLite couple. So, all is good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE STOLEN TURNABOUT: END ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================================================================== ====================================================================== 6. EPISODE 3: RECIPE FOR TURNABOUT [ PW3601 ] ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND [ PW3602 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A weird intro, this one. The judge passes a guilty verdict for a case that involved a cup of poisoned coffee. The defendant claims that he saw someone else did it. Prosecutor Payne is a happy man, and Phoenix Wright... loses a case? What in the world is happening? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 1: INVESTIGATION [ PW3603 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Time: 10:03am Location: Wright & Co. Law Offices It's the new year, but before you could really enjoy the joy of a new beginning, Gumshoe makes his way into the office. He brings you a magazine article that shows the following headline: "Deadly Poisoning Brings Guilty Verdict. Defense Attorney Phoenix Wright trounced." This is from last month's issue of the magazine, but you've absolutely no recollection of getting involved in a poisoning case, let alone being "trounced" in one. Regardless, the magazine clipping will go into the Court Record. It appears that someone out there is impersonating you, albeit rather poorly. Gumshoe asks for your help to help the guilty client with a retrial. With this, you got your first case of the new year. Talk to Maya on the customary "What to do" and "Any ideas". Maya comments that Gumshoe seems rather concerned about the defendant. Maybe it's someone he knows? Time to head to the detention center. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Your client is none other Maggey Byrde. You know, the defendant from "The Lost Turnabout' from Game 2? Now you know why Gumshoe is agitated. He has a crush on her, remember? Anyway, Maggey used to be a police officer, but now she's in some sort of a waitress costume. Talk about "Maggey Byrde". She tells you that she was fired after the incident from last year, and she's now working as a waitress in a French restaurant. Ask "What happened" now. Maggey tells you that the murder occured on 12/3 at the restaurant Tres Bien. She saw two men at a table, both drinking coffee. Note the spiky hair guy in the scene, who slipped poison into the other's cup. As the victim grasped for air, Maggey fainted. Maggey has never seen the victim before, so she should've no motive for murder. However, the testimonies and evidence were all against her. Firstly, no one else saw the killer. That is, all the other people in the restaurant at that time testified that there the victim was alone the whole time. Secondly, they found a bottle of poison in her apron - the killer must've slipped it inside when after she fainted. You can now ask about "The other guy". She says that she served coffee to both men, who looked like they were from the music industry. She also mentions something about a earpiece, and a sample CD on the table that has a band name that starts with the word "MC". Unfortnately, she has no recollection of the killer's look. Show her the magazine clipping now. She tells you that "Phoniex Wright" came to her the day after she was arrested, and offered to defend her. When asked why she couldn't tell that he was a fake, Maggey replies that even though the guy was taller, looked a bit shady, has a weird voice and a funny accent, she believed he was you because he has spiky hair and was wearing a blue suit. Duh! She also tells you that when in court, everyone was puzzled at this "Phoenix Wright", but no one said anything. The hell? You get Tres Bien's location after talking to her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien The restaurant is empty at the moment, so take the opportunity to search the place. At the left area, search the table on the right to confirm that it's the table where the murder occured. It's quite obvious since there's police tape around it. Note also that there's a coffee stain on the table. Check the partition in between the tables to find that the restaurant has partitions set up to separate the dining tables. When seated, you can only see the tables to your left or right. At the right area, examine the magazine rack. Something's stuffed in behind the rack. It's a sports newspaper that has some scribbles on it. It has the number 100,000, but it's crossed out. An arrow is pointing at this number, and it leads to the words "MC Bomber". There's also a bomb drawing to the right, and the words "Ahahaha!" below. Incidentally, the paper was from 12/3, the day of the murder. Sports paper added to your records. Go back to the detention center now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Detention Center, Visitor's Room Show Maggey the sports paper, and she'll tell you that Tres Bien doesn't order newspaper. She also remembers that "MC Bomber" is the name of the band on the sample CD she saw. Could 100,000 be the down- payment for a record deal? Perhaps, this paper belonged to the victim? You'll have to return to Tres Bien for more investigation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien An ugly MF (don't ask me what this means) greets you. He's quite possibly the ugliest witness in the entire series. His name is Jean Armstrong, and he seems to know who you're. Apparently, you've "flirted" with him in court. Aargh, damn imposter! Talk to him about "Tres Bien". He tells you that the name of the restaurant means "very good". He also explains that since the arrest of Maggey, he has been running the place on his own. According to him, he's the chef, manager and aromatherapist of the place. Ask "What happened". He tells you that Maggey served coffee to the victim. He was in the kitchen when he heard the sound of someone collapsing. When he came out, the victim was already dead. Maggey has fainted as well. Armstrong also says that the victim was all alone. He then tells you about an old man. Ask about this "Old man". An old man, who was here at that time, said the same thing. This old man is a regular customer at the restaurant. Now, show Maggey's profile to Armstrong. He tells you that it's not surprising that Maggey is a suspect, not after "something" took place right in front of his eyes. He's hinting that Maggey could've a motive afterall. So, ask about "Maggey's motive". This time, he throws THREE Psyche- Locks at you. It's also at this time that you realise that your magatama has gone missing! The fact that you can still see the locks, however, mean that it must be somewhere near you now. Anyway, our friend will tell you the location of the old man. He's at Vitamin Square, a park just behind Tres Bien. GO there then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Vitamin Square You find the old man here. Try talking to him, but he seems rather evasive. Go through all the conversations, and you'll get nothing much out of him. The only point of interest here is that he seems to hate Tres Bien very much, but according to Armstrong, he's a regular at the place. Strange? If you notice, Vitamin Square is full of fruits-based equipment. Look to the right of the old man to find a half-sliced orange seat. Examine it to find some sort of a magazine. Turns out it's actually a job listing brochure. When you add the job listings into your records, the old man tells you that it belongs to him. Ignore him and return to Tres Bien. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien Time to get rid of Maya (heh). Show Armstrong the job listings, and he'll take Maya under his apprenticeship. Go back to the detention centre. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Detention Centre, Visitor's Room Maggey is no longer here. Maybe you should come back later. Go look for Gumshoe at the Criminal Affairs Department then. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept. Gumshoe tells you that the retrial has been scheduled for 10:00am tomorrow. You'll have to take on Godot again though. Talk to the detective about "Maggey Byrde" and watch the hilarious scenes that follow. Now, ask about "The victim", and you'll finally get his name. His name is Glen Elg, and he was a computer programmer. Armstrong commented that it was the first time he saw Glen at the restaurant. However, despite Maggey having seemingly nothing to do with Glen, a motive was somehow established. Ask about "The investigation" next. This opens up a topic of "Contradictions" - it's the number of people at the table that cannot be proven. Maggey insists that there was another guy at the table, but no one else saw him. Also, with regards to the sample CD, the police searched the place and simply couldn't find it as well. Maggey did mention about a earpiece earlier. Gumshoe tells you that Glen was actually listening to a portable radio in the front of his hoodie. Which means, there wasn't any CD player on the table too. Show Armstrong's profile to Gumshoe. He replies that there's something about the guy. This opens up a topic of "The charming chef". This time round, the detective seems rather evasive. He talks about "gossipy stuff", but refuses to divuldge any more information. Instead, he asks YOU to go find out what they are. Hey, I thought you want to help Maggey, right? Before you head back to Tres Bien, present the sports paper to Gumshoe. He takes it away from you for a handwriting analysis. Sports paper given to Gumshoe. You can also show the magazine clipping to Gumshoe. He comments that your performance in court sucked so much it seemed like you were deliberately getting a guilty verdict for Maggey. Time to return to Tres Bien. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien A girl with in emo fashon greets you here. Note that she has a bandage on her head. She disappears almost immediately though. Maya greets you soon in a waitress uniform (nice). Talk to her about "Waitress", but the important topic here should be "Lunch special". She brings in the Twin-T set, which costs $20. The food sucks, which is why it must go into your Court Record. The lousy food opens up a topic on "The kitchen". Talk about it, and soon, Maya will invite you into the place. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Tres Bien, Kitchen First things first. Check the table with the green object, and you'll recover your magatama. Stupid Armstrong must've stolen it. Check the bottom left corner of the screen to find a box of small bottles. These are mostly those aromatherapy oils that Armstrong has been using. You'll soon find a bottle that's green color, and has no smell. It's covered with unidentified fingerprints. Small bottle acquired. Go back to Vitamin Sqaure now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Vitamin Square The old man is nowhere in sight, but a pink scooter is sitting right in front of you. Examine it, and you'll notice that it's pretty much wrecked. soon a man with spiky hair will stop you. He's wearing a red shirt with a picture of a tiger biting a dragon. This is actually quite symbolic if you're playing the Japanese version of the game, since Phoenix's Japanese name is Ryuichi, and "Ryu" means "dragon". I'll introduce this dude later, but at the moment, he's giving you hell. He even claims that he's Phoenix Wright. I think you've found your imposter. He soon rides off (the scooter belongs to him), but you'd have added the scooter into your records before he leaves. This is when the old man reappears. If you've spoken to him on all options earlier, "What you saw", "Maggey Byrde" and "Tres Bien" would all be ticked off. Take note about his frequent mentions of the waitress. Try talking about "Tres Bien regular", however, and he'll show you three Psyche-Locks - you couldn't see them earlier because you didn't have the magatama then. Perhaps you should go see Gumshoe now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Police Station, Criminal Affairs Dept. The handwriting analysis is completed, and the doodle on the sports paper is written by Glen. Gumshoe also tells you that the name "MC Bomber" is somewhat familiar, but he can't remember where he'd heard it. Sports paper refiled. Show Gumshoe the small bottle, and he'll suggest to analyse its contents. Small bottle therefore given to Gumshoe for further testing. The conversation shifts to Armstrong next. Gumshoe tells you that he has gotten hold of "Armstrong's secret". Talk about it, and he'll reveal that the restaurant manager/ chef/ aromatherapist is in debt. He shows you a loan contract from Tender Lender, for the amount of half a million! Wow, looks like our dear Armstrong is in the deep end of some brownish substance, man. Jean's Loan Contract added to the records. It's time to break the old man's Psyche-Locks. Go, go, go! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Location: Vitamin Square ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OLD MAN'S PSYCHE-LOCK: TRES BIEN REGULAR [ PW3604 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As usual, show the magatama to initiate the process. When you've to prove that the old man isn't at the restaurant for the food, present the lunch special - the food is so unbelievably bad that it'd be unbelievable if anyone would go there for the food. The tells you that he's rich and has money to burn, so he doesn't mind spending money on the lousy food. You'll need to prove otherwise. Show him the job listings - if he's rich, he wouldn't be looking for a job. One lock crushed. He then tells you that he goes to Tres Bien to read newspapers. To prove that he's lying, show the sports paper - this is the only news- paper in the restaurant, and it was left behind by a customer (Glen). Another lock crushed. Eventually, you'll have to provide the real reason he's a regular at Tres Bien. If you've taken note of what he said earlier about the waitress, this should be pretty easy. Present Maggey's profile - the old man has a fetish for waitress uniforms! All locks crushed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can now talk about "Tres Bien regular". The old man introduces himself as Victor Kudo. However, he isn't in the mood to talk. Maybe you should go back to Tres Bien first. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Venue: Tres Bien You can now present Kudo's profile to Maya - she's in a waitress uniform, you see... anyway, you'll automatically be transported to the park after that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Venue: Vitamin Square Kudo doesn't exactly fancy Maya, even with the waitress uniform. As you wonder what could make him crack, Mia takes over. Wow, Mia in waitress uniform! Thanks, Capcom, for making me... I mean, Victor happy. Finally! You can get something out of him. You may want to talk about "What you saw" and "Tres Bien", but the important conversation here is "Tres Bien regular". This is where he tells you that Armstrong is an ex-convict. This opens up a topic on "Armstrong's record" Talk about it, and Kudo reveals that Armstrong steals things from his customers. Hmm, that explains about the magatama incident. He then writes you a note that says: "Convicted before, a wicken man or woman, repeat offendor -- Victor Kudo" It's supposed to be a poem, but... oh well. Victor's note added to the records. Both Victor and Mia leave after this discussion. The time has come to tackle Armstrong's Psyche-Locks. Return to Tres Bien now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/6 Venue: Tres Bien You meet Armstrong again. You know what to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JEAN ARMSTRONG'S PSYCHE-LOCK: MAGGEY'S MOTIVE [ PW3605 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Present the magatama. Armstrong was so frightened of the process that he immediately tells you that Glen actually had a lottery ticket for half a million dollars. However, after he was murdered, the ticket went missing. This was the motive that the prosecution presented for Maggey's trial. Basically, they're saying that she poisoned Glen so as to get the lottery ticket. You demand to know the reason why he hid this from you earlier. When prompted to point out the real thief for the lottery ticket, present Armstrong's profile. One lock crushed. You'll now have to present evidence to support you claim. Show him Victor's note. He denies Victor's allegations though, and challenges you to show an incontestable proof that he has stolen from his customers. Show him the magatama - you found it in his kitchen, so it's proof enough that he has stolen it from you earlier. Another lock goes bust. Armstrong will now tell you that, yes, it's true that he has pilfered little things, but it's $500,000 you're talking about here. You'll need to prove that he's in need of a large sum of money. Show him the loan contract to end the sequence - a $500,000 winning ticket is enough to wipe off his debt. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UNLOCK SUCCESSFUL! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk about "Maggey's motive" now. Armstrong tells you that Glen was listening to the radio with his earpiece. He thinks that the winning numbers were announced on the news. Suddenly, Glen shouted "Yes! Half a million!" Glen has many tickets on the table. So, Armstrong conveniently helped himself to one of them as Glen laid dead, and Maggey stayed unconscious. Ask about the "Winning ticket" now. He now claims that he didn't take the ticket, but before he could elaborate further, Godot interrupts the proceedings. Godot explains that Armstrong stole the wrong ticket... which won him the paltry sum of $1. So, what happened to the winning ticket? Well, Godot isn't talking. He leaves soon after. Looks like the day has come to an end. You discard Victor's note, and prepare yourself for battle tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PART 2: TRIAL [ PW3606 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 9:48am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 Just get the trial started already, Gumshoe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 10:00am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Gumshoe is the first witness today. He submits the autopsy report as evidence. Check the report to confirm that the victim died of poison- ing, and the time of death was between 1:30pm and 2:30pm. He also provides the floor plans of Tres Bien. A rough sketch of this is as follow. Sorry, it's not to scale. -------------- ------- -------------- | | ----- | ----- | ||---| | | Kitchen |( )| |( )|( )| X |(V)| || - | - ----- | ----- | -- - | | | - -| | | || | | ----- | ----- | -| | |( )| |( )|( )| |( )| | | | ----- | ----- | | -------------- ------- --------------- Basic facts of the case: ------------------------ Glen was sitting at "V" when the incident took place. The poisoned coffee was brought over to him by Maggey from the kitchen, and placed on the table at "X". Glen died almost right after he took a sip of the coffee. At the time of the incident, there were two other people in the restaurant - Armstrong and Victor. Tres Bien floor plans acquired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: THE INCIDENT [ PW3607 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "When the incident took place, the victim was alone at his table, sir." 2: "We understand that the guy, Glen Elg, was listening to the radio at the time." 3: "Traces of poison were found in his coffee cup." 4: "And what we found was potassium cyanide. That stuff really packs a punch!" 5: "And, um... it looks like Ms. Byrde might've had, well...some kind of a motive." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE INCIDENT [ PW3607 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 1. While the situation doesn't look good, choose to "Press harder". You bring out the point that the victim's table could be obstructed in some way. This is when Godot shows you a photo that was taken from near the entrance of the kitchen. This is the scene as witnessed by Armstrong moments after the poisoning took place. It shows Glen collapsed on the table, while the chair opposite him was empty. However, only half (the right side) the chair was shown, as the other half was obstructed by the partition. Crime photo added to the records. Press at 3. Gumshoe tells you that the poison was a powdery substance. When prompted, choose to "Press harder" as well. You question whether Glen actually drank any of the coffee. Godot objects, and demands that Gumshoe submit the victim's coffee cup as evidence. Godot points your attention to the rim of the cup - it clearly shows a coffee stain on it, which is proof that Glen did drink from the cup. The only finger- prints on the cup were Glen's and Maggey's. Damn, not looking good. Coffee cup acquired. At 5, press for the motive. You know this already, it's about the disappearing winning lottery ticket. Again, "Press harder" when you get the chance to. Now, Godot will show you the winning ticket in question. Well, you guess it. They found it on Maggey. Victim's lottery ticket filed as evidence. If you think things are getting bad, Godot will make them worse by presenting yet another incriminating evidence. This time, he shows you Maggey's apron. It shows some coffee and blood (?) stains. A bottle of Postassium cyanide was also found from the apron's pocket... and only Maggey's prints were on it. Aargh. Note here that Godot doesn't seem to notice that there's "blood" on the apron. This is a decisive evidence for a future case in this game. Apron and Potassium Cyanide added into the books. It'll soon be revealed that the "bloodstain" on the apron is only ketchup, ha ha. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY: THE INVESTIGATION [ PW3608 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The crime was reported at 2:25 PM by a kind of scary old man, sir." 2: "Poor Maggey had passed out from the shock. It must've been real tough for her." 3: "The victim didn't have any identification on him." 4: "But we figured out who he was pretty quick, and then the investigation went smoothly." 5: "When Maggey was searched, we found the lottery ticket and the bottle of poison." 6: "And that was it. There was nothing else missing from the crime scene." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: THE INVESTIGATION [ PW3608 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You need to know how the police figured out Glen's identity, so press 4. Gumshoe replies that there was a presciption bag on Glen's table. It seems that Glen went to the doctor before he went to Tres Bien. The police got his name from the medical records of the doctor who prescribed the medicine. When given the chance, "Ask about the prescription bag". Gumshoe tells you that strangely, the bag was empty. Victim's prescription bag filed as evidence. With this, you can finally point out a contradiction in Gumshoe's testimony. At 6, show him the prescription bag - Glen was given a prescription before going to Tres Bien, but where did the medicine go? Glen was killed by poision, and his medicine mysteriously disappeared. The prescription could've been the poison itself! Godot has a rebuttal for you though. The label on the prescription bag shows that the medicine was prescribed by a certain "New Ear Otolaryngological Clinic". For the un-initiated, "otolaryngological" basically means ear, nose and throat. Or simply, ENT. Godot explains that Glen got into a fight before the incident, and he took a blow to the side of his face. As a result, his eardrum is ruptured. The prescribed medicine, therefore, was merely a topical cream meant for his ear canal, and not an ingestible drug. To add the icing on the cake, Godot also explains that in the very, very fine print of the autopsy report, it was mentioned that traces of the cream was found in Glen's left ears. Things look really bad now. Choose to "Push the medication issue" - I mean, you can't just leave it, can you? You now ask Godot, if Glen did apply the cream, why wasn't the cream found at the crime scene? Watch the cool objection cross-swords as Godot's mask burns again. Regardless, the trial goes on. Gumshoe's tenure is over again though, and Victor is next in line. Before that, however, the judge orders a recess. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 11:03am Location: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1 That was a close shave. Go through the conversations and then head back to court. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 1/7 Time: 11:15am Location: District Court, Courtroom No. 4 Just click through the usual intro quickly. You've a client to save. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S TESTIMONY: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3609 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "The young man was reading the sports paper." 2: "The serving girl brought him a javaccino... But she put something in it!" 3: "The man took one sip of it, looked like he was in terrible pain, and then collapsed." 4: "That's the serving girl, right there in the defendant's chair. I remember her well!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: WHAT I WITNESSED [ PW3609 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press at 4. It seems that Victor only remembered anything pertaining to the uniform. When prompted, "Press harder". This leads to an addition to the testimony. 5: "There was a ribbon in her hair, and her apron's straps were loose." Press this statement immediately. You need more information to back up your defense. When given the chance, "Ask about the waitress' back" - notice that the features that Victor mentioned were all related to things that he could see from the waitress' back. Did he actually see her face? This leads to another addition to Victor's testimony. 6: "There wasn't anything that caught my interest about her when I saw her from the front." Aha. Remember Maggey's apron? The one with the ketchup? Show it to Victor. Well, he tells you that he hasn't seen this before. Meaning? He couldn't have seen the waitress from the front! Oh yeah, next! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S TESTIMONY: ABOUT THE VICTIM [ PW3610 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: "He was another of those pesky young types, wearing a broken pair of spectacles." 2: "He had a newspaper in his right hand, and the noisy brat kept rustling its pages!" 3: "The young man was listening to the wireless. I remember that well." 4: "Then the serving girl in question brought over the javaccino." 5: "The little fidget picked up the cup with his free hand and took a sip." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- VICTOR'S CROSS-EXAMINATION: ABOUT THE VICTIM [ PW3610 ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is quite easy. Present the coffee cup at 5 - Victor said that Glen was holding the paper with his right hand, which means his "free hand" would be the left. However, if you check the coffee cup, you'd see the following: ------------ | ****
