Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Walkthrough

------------
Let the trial begin!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 1
Date: September 7, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first witness that Edgeworth calls upon will be Gumshoe. Gumshoe
will provide the details of the murder by the use of a floor plan.
This will be added to your Court Record.
GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
Nothing you didn't know of. Mentioned that has has "hard evidence" to
arrest Maya.
GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
You'll need to do some bluffing now, since you don't really know what
is there to cross-examine.
When Gumshoe says that he immediately arrested Maya when he reached
the scene of crime, press him. He'll reply that he had a witness account
describing Maya. Press again and ask him didn't he mentioned earlier
that he has a "hard evidence" to arrest Maya? What's with the witness
then?
Gumshoe will deny that he mentioned "hard evidence", but the judge
will concur with you. The detetive will have to testify once more.
GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY 2
---------------------
This time, he'll mention about the receipt that has the blood-written
"Maya" on it.
GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-----------------------------
When Gumshoe talks about finding blood on Mia's hand, and that lab
results showed that the blood that wrote the words "Maya" belongs to
Mia, etc., present the autopsy report - if death was instantaneous as
mentioned in the report, how could Mia actually write the words?
Edgeworth will object you right away though, and he'll ask you when
did you obtain the autopsy report. If you remember, you got it "the
day after the murder". Edgeworth will then present a second autopsy,
which states that:
"Death was ALMOST IMMEDIATE due to a blow from a blunt object... but
there was a possibility the victim lived for several minutes after the
blow."
Edgeworth will press you now, so reply that "the detective is a sham!"
and put all the blame on Gumshoe for giving you a faulty report. The
new autopsy report will now overwrite the previous report.
Edgeworth will now call upon the "innocent" April to the stands. She'll
woo the crowd with her charm and make life difficult for you.
APRIL'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
At 9:00pm, April looked out of the window, and she saw a woman with
long hair being attacked. The person attacking her was the girl in
the defendant's chair (that is, Maya). Then, the girl who was hit got
up and ran away, while the girl who hit her caught up and hit her.
The court will try not to let you cross-examine April, since her
testimony is very firm. But when you're given a choice whether you
want to, say "yes, I'm doing it".
APRIL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
Press her immediately when she said that she was looking out of the
window at 9:00pm. Ask her why did she look out. Was she expecting to
see something? She'll avoid answering. When given a choice whether
to press further about this, back down. Edgeworth is a strong
opponent and he'll almost certainly object to your pressing, which
will be deemed trivial.
Let April continue, then when she said that she saw Maya, press her
and ask her why she was so sure that it was Maya. She'll give some
silly excuses about girlish physique, etc., and Edgeworth will back
her up, saying that the only person with a girlish physique at the
scene of crime is Maya. Now, you'll be given a choice to attack this
testimony. Select "I question this testimony". Then, select "you're
lying" - if April has really saw Maya, she'd have noticed Maya's
clothes before noticing her physique. Maya has been in her spirit
medium costume since the day of the crime. No one wears clothes like
this on a daily basis.
Somehow, April will get away with this by acting blur. Time for more
testimony from her.
APRIL'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
April's second testimony claims that the victim dodged the first
attack and ran off to the right. Then the defendant ran after her and
hit her with the weapon. She was, amazingly, able to identify the
weapon as a statue-cum-clock, from that distance.
APRIL'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Wait till April talks about the statue-cum-clock, then present the
statue as a contradicting evidence. How did she know, just by looking
at the statue, that it's also a clock? Remember, another person in much
the same position as her recently called this a 'clock' too, and he was
found guilty of murder.
Edgeworth will object you, and regard your questions as "trivial"
once again. But you're onto something, and you'll automatically
object his objection (cool).
The judge will concur with you. You can continue your cross-
examination.
April will continue to lie through her skin now, telling the court
that she "heard" the clock from her room. Expose her lie by telling
the court that the clock "wouldn't have rung". Why? Because "it's
empty". The clock is missing its clockwork, as first revealed in Mia's
teleconversation with Maya.
Edgeworth will not give up. He knows the clockwork was empty, and he
argues that if the clockwork is removed after the witness heard the
clock, then there is no contradiction. Can you prove when the
clockwork was removed? You can.
Present the cell phone record of Mia and Maya's conversation, which
clearly states that Mia removed the clockwork way before the time of
death, even way before May checks in at the hotel.
April still won't give up. She argues that she has saw the clock in
a shop before. Click "yes" when the judge asks whether you've anymore
questions. Present the statue again - remember what Larry told you in
the last case? This clock was never in any store. It was made by himself
for Cindy, and given to Mia eventually. Only two of these exist in the
world, and the one that isn't here is in police custody since it was
the weapon that killed Cindy.
Proceed with the conversation with April and the judge until you're
given all the opportunity to explain the truth. When asked to do so,
tell April that she knows that the weapon was a clock because "she
heard about it". Present the wiretap now to prove this - April has
been tapping on Mia's phone.
Edgeworth will object (again), but the judge will brush him aside.
He'll then dare you to prove that by tapping Mia's phone, April will
know that the weapon is a clock. Present the cell phone record again,
and listen to the conversation once more to prove this.
April will put on a show now, crying and all that. It's time to deal
the final blow. Click "you did it, didn't you?". This will cause her
to slip her tongue and admit that she tapped Mia's phone. But she also
has an alibi - she was getting room service from the bellboy at 9:00pm
on the day of the crime.
Call the bellboy. Accept the condition that if nothing comes out from
the bellboy, Maya will be declared guilty on the spot. You're taking a
huge gamble now.
BELLBOY'S TESTIMONY
-------------------
The Bellboy received a call after 8:00pm from April, who asked for an
ice coffee to be brought to her at 9:00pm, on the dot. The bellboy
brought it to her at precisely the requested time, personally.
BELLBOY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
You'll find nothing from the Bellboy, who has no reasons to lie.
Try pressing at various stops, until Edgeworth will suggest to the
judge to let the Bellboy leave. Plead for one last question, and
"ask about check-in", which will reveal that April actually checked-in
with another person. That's the revelation you needed!
Enjoy the explanation of what happened in this rather tedious case.
When asked to choose who's the murderer, simply answer "the man who
checked-in with Miss May" (duh!). The court will adjourn after that,
but the case won't be over. Not yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: September 7, 2:24pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Maya until the conversation is over. After the court became
certain that April was lying, a lot, during her testimony, what's
left of her testimony is this:
"The victim dodged an attack then ran to the right, but she was caught
and struck."
This testimony is now added to the Court Record for tomorrow.
NOTE: Again, this is an important evidence. It's almost decisive.
Save your game now.
DAY 2: INVESTIGATION
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Vistor's Room
Date: September 7, 3:11pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to April. She has been arrested, by the way. No matter what
you say, she won't bulge. The identity of the mysterious man is still
at large. Go to the hotel again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ever-present Bellboy is here again. Talk to him about "the man
with Miss May", and you'll get a lead. A "lady killer", so to say. The
Bellboy also mentioned that if you've a photo of that man, he'll be
able to identify him. Bear that in mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to Grossberg's office again. The old man is once again out of
office. Notice now that there're something new on the table. Photos!
Two of them, in fact. Examine them. Something's been written in pencil
on the backs:
"DL-6 Incident - Exhibit A"
"DL-6 Incident - Exhibit B"
View both the photos. Exhibit A shows a woman who looks familiar.
Exhibit shows a man with purple hair. Take Exhibit B and add it to the
Court Record.
NOTE: You can only take one photograph with you.
Next, examine the wall... hey, wasn't there a giant painting hanging
on that wall when you came here previously? The game will prompt you
to remember what the painting was about. Click "fishmen".
NOTE: It doesn't matter what you click, actually, All the outcome will
be the same regardless of what you click.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gatewater Hotel - Room 303
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present the photograph you found at Grossberg's office to the Bellboy.
The bellboy will confirm that he's the man who checked-in with April.
The bellboy will be eager to write an affidavit to confirm that the man
in the photograph is the man who checked-in with April. Allow him to do
so. This will be added to the Court Report.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Vistor's Room
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to April, and present the photograph of the man to her.
Watch her face change, but she'll quickly regain composure. Present
the Bellboy's Affidavit now. This will be a great blow to her. Now,
"push her hard" (er, this doesn't sound very nice, but it's not what
you think), threaten to bring this to the press if she doesn't
bulge.
She'll talk. The man in question is Redd White, who happens to be
April's boss. He's the head of Bluecorp, an "information gathering
agency". Get the location of Bluecorp from April, then move towards
there.
NOTE: The Bellboy's Affidavit will be discarded now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Bluecorp Inc. CEO's Office
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may notice the very familiar painting in this office, but we'll
come to that later. Talk to White about April, and he'll try to turn
her into a scapegoat. Ask him about Bluecorp, and he'll tell you that
he's in the business of buying and selling various kinds of
information. Continue talking to him, now about the night of the
murder. You'll find that you've no way of putting him on the witness
stand, and he won't reveal anything unless you manage to do so.
Now, ask him about that painting. Tell him that you've seen it
before, and watch him turn nasty. Go back to Grossberg now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Grossberg will be in his office now, but he doesn't seem to have
notice you. Clear your throat to get his attention, then talk to him
about today's trial, his refusal to help, and Mr. White (in that
sequence). Follow these by asking him about the big painting. Why
did Grossberg, who like the painting so much, gave it away to White?
Select "he's blackmailing you". Jackpot. The nature of White's company
makes it easy for him to blackmail anyone in town.
Grossberg will finally agree to talk. You'll find out that White makes
his living through intimidation. Bluecorp is a company that excels in
finding people's weaknesses, and blackmailing them in the process.
Grossberg has been paying them for 15 years now. And it was all
because of the DL-6 Incident, which you saw on the back of the
photographs.
Probe him about the incident, and you'll find out that it's somehow
linked with Mia and Maya's mother. Yes, it's quite clear now that the
other photograph in Grossberg's office is that of their mother, Misty
Fey. Even though Grossberg managed to help Mdm Fey out of trouble
during the DL-6 Incident, the murder case still remained unsolved.
Next, ask him why was he blackmailed over this. It was quite simple.
White offered Grossberg riches for the information about the police
wrongly trusting Mdm Fey, and then revealed this to the media. The
police suffered as a result, and have been looking for the person who
released the information ever since. It was then that White came in
with the blackmail.
Grossberg will now point you to Mia's office for the next clues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Fey and Co. Law Offices
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Mia's office, examine the shelves now for the cases that she
has worked on. You'll be asked to select which files to look at,
select "File 'A-I'".
Under "F", you'll find the file for "Misty Fey". Read it. It says:
"'I've tarnished the Fey name.' Leaving only three words, my mother
vanished. I was determined to find the ones who had made my mother
blame herself in this way. Using the E.S.P. that runs in my family,
I held an audience with the dead. Finally, the names of two men
surfaced. One was MARVIN GROSSBERG, a lawyer who sold my mother's
information for riches. The other was the man who sold the information
to the press. This parasite, who makes his fortune on threats and
coercion, his name is..."
The record stops here, strangely.
Now, examine the shelves again for "File 'J-S'". Nothing much here,
but choose to "Skim" through the reports nonetheless. At the end of
"S", you'll find a number of reports on suicides. Apparently, these
suicides involve politicians, policemen, etc. You'll also notice that:
"There's writing on most of these in pencil. 'White...?' This is Mia's
handwriting. Wait, I get it! Mia thought he was involved in these
'suicides'! White drove them all to... I can use these newspaper
clippings. Let's find the most distressing one..."
Newspaper Clipping added to your Court Record!
Examine the shelves once more. The game will ask whether you'd want to
check the files once more. Select "check 'em", then go to "File 'T-Z'"
now. When you reach "W", you'll find that the entire "W" section is
missing.
With the new knowledge that you've, visit Bluecorp again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Bluecorp Inc. CEO's Office
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to the scum. White threatens that if you continue to pester him,
a "nasty accident" will happen to you. There's no point talking to
him now. Instead, present the newspaper clipping to him, which was
about the fall of a politician. Tell White that you knew that he
blackmailed the politician until he committed.
Continue to argue with him as he tells you all sort of crap, then
further tell him that's "you're wrong" until he calls the public
prosecutor. He mentions now that he's willing to testify in court
because he has seen the murder took place, and that the murderer is
YOU.
Gumshoe will appear in no time to take you into custody. Yes, you've
been arrested. But if this is the only way to get White to testify in
court, this will be the only way to attack him in court as well. The
good thing is, Maya will be released. At least you helped Mia to look
after her sister well enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: September 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maya will visit you, and ask what can she do for you. There's actually
nothing she can do, and please, don't ask her to "break you out of
here"! Just joke and ask her to cheer you on. After the conversation
with her, you end the day by thinking:
"It's the beginning of a new century, yet with crime it's the same
old story. In fact, it's getting worse. Lengthy court proceedings are
no long realistic. Beginning a few years ago, a limit of three days
was put on initial court trials. Almost all finish in a day, most with
a guilty verdict. I ever though I'd end up in the defendant's chair
myself. Tomorrow, the true culprit will appear as a witness. This is
it. It's me or him!"
DAY 3 - TRIAL
-------------
So, this is it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: September 9, 9:52am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation, and you'll reveal that you'll be defending
yourself, just like in the movies!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Court Room No. 1
Date: September 9, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth will summon White to the witness stands immediately. Don't
bother with raising an objection, since it'll lead you nowhere. These
buggers are in it together.
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
At about 9:00pm on the day of the crime, White claims that he was
reading some papers by the window. He heard a bedlam outside, so he
turned to look at the building across the way, and saw you attacking a
woman with long hair. He called April over at once. Then, the woman
with long hair ran, you gave chase, and there was a terrible impaction,
and it was all over.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
White's testimony is almost perfect, and it's difficult to find a
weakness in it. Try pressing a little on the timings, etc., but when
he said that he saw YOU attacking the victim, press him by saying that
it contradicts what April has seen. April has specifically mentioned a
"girl".
White will reply that he's very confident of his eyesight. Ok. Let him
go on this one. The statement that you'll really want to press is the
one where he says that the victim ran, and you gave chased. Tell him
to be more specific, and he'll say that the victim ran to the left
when she was attacked.
This will be added to his testimony, as requested by the judge. This
is your chance. Present April's Testimony - White said the victim ran
to the 'left'. But that directly contradicts April's testimony, which
clearly stated that the victim ran 'right'.
When White said that you must have misheard her, you'll tell him to
look at the floor plans. This will bring up the floor plan on the top
screen, to show the positions of the killer and Mia. It's easy to
understand why the victim will NOT run to the left, since she'd have
been running directly away from the door.
White will be very adamant that he saw Mia ran "left". You know what
this means, don't you? The only way White could've seen Mia ran left,
is when he's facing Mia directly during the murder - Mia running to
her right would have been perceived as running to White's left.
Ok, we haven't reach this part yet. Anyway, Maya will suggest that she
doesn't think that White is lying about him seeing Mia ran left.
You'll ponder for a moment, then the judge will ask you whether you
can explain why April and White saw the direction differently. Tell
the judge "both are right". There's only one scenario that would
explain their conflicting accounts - the witness wasn't viewing the
crime from the hotel.
Edgeworth will then ask where could he have been? You'll reply that
he was at the law offices. You'll also be added to point out on the
screen the location of White on the screen, Move your stylus to
the red circle with a "K", then click Present. This is the position of
the murderer. When the victim ran for the door, if he was watching from
this point, to him it would appear that she ran to the "left".
Still, you won't nail him so easily. White will ask for a chance to
testify again.
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
White now claims that both April's and his testimonies are correct.
When you assaulted the victim, she first ran to the left, and then you
hit her. Then, with the last of her strength, she ran to the right.
This is when April saw her. You chased, and delivered the final blow.
Note that he's now claiming you've hit her TWICE. Fool.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Wipe that smile off White's face by presenting the autopsy report when
he says that you delivered the final blow - the victim died from a
single blow, not two blows.
Edgeworth will now call for a 10-minute break because "the witness is
obviously confused". But you'll object right away. The crowd and the
judge will be on your side, and White has to testify again..
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 3
-------------------
White's final testimony claims that he looked at the other window when
he heard that thing fall. Then, he saw Mia running to the left. You
then attacked her, but she dodged. She then ran to the right and you
deliver the killer blow.
White will also feign a stomach upset to try and get out of being
cross-examined by you. Tell him to deal with it.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
---------------------------
Immediately into his first sentence, press him about what was "that
thing" that fell. He'll reply that it's the glass light stand. Maya
will ask you do you find this statement odd. Reply "yeah, very odd".
This will cause you to press further. Force him to change his
testimony to him seeing the glass light stand.
When he does that, quickly present the floor plans to counter him.
The top screen will show the floor plan now. Obviously, if White has
looked through the windom of the office, the stand is not within the
visible area - the only time you could have seen the stand must have
been the moment it fell. And the only place you could have seen that
from, is inside the Fey Law Offices. In other words, he was at the
scene of the crime when the murder took place.
Edgeworth is still around though! He'll now try to convince White to
admit "the crime of placing the wiretap". His point is that, White
must have been at the Fey Offices before the day of murder to place
the wiretap, thus he'd have seen the light stand is in the office
then.
WHITE'S TESTIMONY 4
-------------------
White will testify that it was the beginning of September, the week
before the murder, that he placed the wiretap. He saw the glass light
stand then. Now, if you're me, you'll know immediately that the
receipt that has Maya's name on it will come into play - remember that
the receipt was for buying something on the day before the murder.
I'll bet my last dollar that it's for buying the light stand. Remember
that.
WHITE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 4
---------------------------
This is a little tricky. You'll find nothing to present against White
as he rattles on, and you'll find yourself going through the testimony
over and over again without progress. The way to get out of this is to
press every single sentence that White says. And I mean, every single
sentence. There will come a time when you realised that you've no more
ammos to fight, and that's when the judge asks whether you want to
give up.
Ponder about giving up, and then you'll hear Mia's voice!
"Never give up, Phoenix!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: September 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find yourself at the waiting lobby next, and Mia is standing
right in front of you! Hey, isn't she, like, DEAD? Ok, engage in
conversation to find that when you were defeated in court, Maya's
true powers were awaken. So, Maya is channeling Mia. Maya is also
Mia now. Way to go. Mia (in Maya's body) will tell you never to give
up. She'll also bring your attention now to the receipt:
Amount spent: $1,000.00
Item purchased: Glass Light Stand
Date of Purchase: September 4
Someone say hell yeah!
NOTE: Before Mia "appeared", presenting the receipt during the cross-
examination will be useless. I was personally shot down by jumping the
gun before Mia "appeared". Similarly you'll be shot down by the judge
if you do so. You must wait for this conversation with Mia to reveal
the contents of the Receipt.
The receipt, with its new revelation, is updated in your Court Record.

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

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

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

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

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

Scene: Studio One Entrance

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

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

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

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

Date: October 16

Use the cardkey you found in the dressing room on the door at the end.
It'll open. Move to "Inside Studio One" now.

Scene: Studio One
Date: October 16

Examine the objects in this room. Of significance are:
1. The outline of Hammer's body in found on the ground. Strangely,
the spear-inflicted cause of death didn't seem to leave a lot of
blood stains on the ground. Maybe the costume absorbed most of it.
Maybe not.
2. The director's chair - nothing of interests to you now, but keep
this chair in mind because you'll need to come back to it later.
3. The cameras - this will introduce the character Penny Nichols, an
assistant in the studio.
Talk to Penny about the day of the crime. She was in the studio
the whole day, as she was the only assistant employed. In the
morning, they went through the action sequences in the employee area.
Powers and Hammer were there, along with everyone else. After eating
lunch, Hammer went to Studio One, and Powers went into the dressing
room. Penny didn't see either of them after that.
Ask her about Powers' alibi now. Unfortunately, she didn't go into
the dressing room when Powers was sleeping, so she couldn't confirm
his statements.
After a while, Penny will tell you that something has been bothering
her. She'll tell you that on the day of the crime, just after noon,
she sensed that someone was here in Studio One, and she was sure
it isn't some other employees. She has a feeling that it was someone
from outside, although this kinda contradicts the security lady's
claims that everyone has to pass through her.
Before you go, ask Penny about "sensing someone" if you want. You'll
gain nothing from this, so follow Maya's heed and go after the
security lady.

Back to the security lady. Ask her about Penny's claim, and see her go
berserk! She'll then run off, presumably to confront Penny. Take this
opportunity to examine the computer in the security room. Try the
computer, and when prompted to key in the number for the camera,
select "ST1-307". This will print out the data for the day of the
crime. You'll see a picture of the Steel Samurai.
Yes, simply a picture of the STEEL SAMURAI, and not WILL POWERS.
Although he's the only one who wears the suit usually, anyone could've
been in that suit on the day of the crime.
The back of the photograph will also states:
"[Oct 15. 2:00pm, Photo #2]"
This photo is added to the Court Record.
NOTE: The numbering on this photo is important. You'll know why later.
The day ends. Save your game.
