Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Walkthrough

------------
It's time for battle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: October 18, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth will call Gumshoe to the stands. Gumshoe will describe the
case briefly to the courts. Nothing that you don't already know of,
but hey, the music is cool here. When asked whether you want to
listen to the case again, just skip it. After this, the Samurai Spear
will be added to the Court Record.
The security lady will be the next to be called to the stands. You'll
finally get to know her full name, and it's Wendy Oldbag. From now
on, I'm going to use her name. Ok, her family name.
OLDBAG'S (OMG!) TESTIMONY 1
--------------------------
She had some errands to run that morning, which was why she only
arrived at the guard station at 1:00pm. She was at the main gate
until 5:00pm. The murder happens at 2:30pm. The only person who
walked passed her at 2:00pm was Will Powers.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------_
When she talks about running some errands, press her about "what
errands". she'll reveal that she was actually "observing Hammer and
Powers" go through the action sequences. Continue to press her next
two sentences until she begins to lose it. When she's at the sentence
where she says "it was Powers!", present the photograph you found at
the computer room - the man she has been accusing all day is actually
the man in this photo, and in no way did this photo have a clear
indication that the man in the costume is Powers.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 2
--------------------
Oldbag adds that during the run-through in the morning, Powers
broke one of the props, and sprained his ankle pretty badly. In the
photo, the Steel Samurai was dragging his leg. This is why she
believes that the man in the costume is Powers.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
----------------------------
Press Oldbag (not literally!) when she talks about Powers tripping
and falling. She'll reveal that she helped make Powers' ankle better
by "kissing it where it hurts". You'll then ask where was Penny when
that happened. Oldbag will reply that Penny was most probably
cleaning the backdrops, and wouldn't have known about Powers' ankle.
Press her again about the broken prop. She'll reveal that what was
broken was Powers' own Samurai Spear. She'll also mention that she
fixed the spear with a duct tape. This detail will be updated to the
spear in Court Record.
When Oldbag talks about Powers' sprained ankle, press her about the
condition of the ankle. She'll reply that it wasn't so bad that he
couldn't walk around, since he was able to go to his dressing room to
rest after lunch.
The judge will then ask a great question:
"Where is this Steel Samurai costume now?"
Amazingly, no one could find it. But Edgeworth will try to smoke the
judge into believing that the missing costume is not important, and
that it must be Powers in that costume.
Object the statement now to once again reiterate that nowhere in the
photo can you see Will Powers.
The judge will concur with you, but Edgeworth has something up his
sleeves.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 3
--------------------
Oldbag insists that the only person she saw going to the studios
before the time of death at 2:30pm was Powers.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
----------------------------
When she says "the only person I saw then was Will Powers", present
the photograph again - on it says "Photo #2", which means that there
should be a "Photo #1". The automatic camera takes a picture of
everyone who passes to the studios. If it says "#2", surely it must
have taken another photograph earlier. This confirms that not one,
but two people went to the studios that day.
Watch her panic, and the regain composure. Get ready for more crap
from the oldbag.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 4
--------------------
She now claims that she'll go through the photos recorded on the
security computer, and throw out any photos that aren't suspicious
looking. She now remembers throwing out one photo that day.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 4
----------------------------
Ask her about the erased photo. She'll reveal that it was one of a
"fanboy". She'll then confirm that this "fanboy" was indeed in the
area afterall, despite her locking the main gate. Remember the drain
at the Employee Area with an opened grate? The fanboy came in through
there. And the fanboy is a kid, probably of 2nd or 3rd grade.
NOTE: This fanboy is an important witness. Remember him.
Watch now as the people around try to "un-suspect" the boy as a
suspect.
The judge will now call for a five-minute break.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 3
Date: October 18, 11:08am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Powers and Maya. The lot of you will decide to push the blame
on someone else so as to buy some time, hopefully to last you guys
for another day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: October 18, 11:13am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch as you claim that there is another person who could've committed
the crime. Now, the judge will warn you that the court will not look
kindky on accusing the innocent, so pick Wendy Oldbag, since she's
the most likely person.
Watch the explanation, then when given a chance to press further, do
it. The result is that Oldbag will become a suspect as well. She'll
then claim that the fanboy could well be a suspect too. When asked why
you disregard the boy, present the keycard - the boy has no formal
relations to the studios, so he couldn't have the key to enter Studio
one.
The judge will suspend proceedings on the current trial for today.
Court adjourned... and then Oldbag will suddenly want to talk! She now
claims that there was something that she was told not
to talk about.
OLDBAG'S TESTIMONY 5
--------------------
Global Studios, her employer, has wanted her to keep quiet about
something. There were actually some other people at the studios on the
day of the murder.
OLDBAG'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 5
----------------------------
An amazing twist! Ask her who were these other people, and she'll
reveal that the director and the producer were there. The director was
in the Employee Area all morning for the run-through. He joined the
producer around lunchtime and they had a meeting after that in the
Studio Two trailer.
Now, take a break when given the chance. You've asked all the
questions you need to ask. The court will (finally) be adjourned!

Talk to Maya if you want, but you should know now that she doesn't
exactly provide constructive ideas, like Mia. (Oh, how we miss her.)

With Oldbag taken into custody, there's no one at the main gate to
greet you. Go the the Employee Area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Employee Area
Date: October 16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Penny is here, She tells you that Oldbag has asked her to fill up the
drain. She has done just that, but it wasn't exactly convincingly done.
She'll then rush off to stand-in for Oldbag at the guard station. Maya
will ask you whether she can rip the grate open. Say yes.
NOTE: If you don't do this, the game will not advance. This is to
allow the fanboy to enter the studio again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to the main gate to find Penny there now. Talk to her and
she'll say that that the studios seem to be very keen in protecting
the producer.
Now, go to outside Studio One.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Studio One Entrance
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe won't be here, so it's your chance to sneak past the small
path with a fallen tree to Studios Two. Examine the monkey (ok, the
mascot) and the fallen tree to confirm that the monkey head and the
tree fell the same day as the day of the murder.
NOTE: The monkey head is an important clue that pinpoints the
identity of the killer down to two people... more about that later.
Move to "Outisde Studio Two" now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Studio Two Entrance
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll hear a voice inside the trailer. Before you go to the guard
station to borrow a key to open it, examine the area. Of significance
are:
1. Some flowers on the bottom right of the screen. The fence
surrounding them looks dangerous.
2. The trailer seems to be here for quite a while.
3. A van is on the left screen. Nothing much on this now.
4. An incinerator is covered with soot beside the van.
5. Empty plates on the table suggests that two people ate here. Maya
feels that something is odd here.
NOTE: If you're wondering what's odd, try to remember what were on the
plates you found at the Employee Area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examine the guard station to find the key. Yes, it's there, but Penny
won't allow you to take it, as she's afraid that Oldbag will "knock
the stuffing out of her if she knew".
Go to the dressing room again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Dressing Room
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meet "the great Sal Manella" there. This guy has an array of internet
chatroom jargons. He also happens to be the creator of the Steel
Samurai. Oogling at Maya will trigger his "creative power", and the
idea of "Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo". Try not to
laugh now.
Talk to him, and ask him about the day of the crime. He says that after
the morning run-through, he had a meeting in the Studio Two trailer
from noon till after 4:00pm. The producer and some other bigwigs from
the network were with him.
Now, ask him about the producer, Dee Vasquez. He'll tell you that
she's the one who saved the studios from the brink of destruction.
Ask him about the bigwigs next. He'll reveal that these people include
the boss of the network, some sponsors, and some production guys.
They arrived in a limousine around noon.
Nothing more that you can get from him, so return to the main gate to
try your luck with the key again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oldbag returns! Apparently, the police asked her to try out a spare
Steel Samurai costume, but she's too small to fit into it, which
basically rules her out as being the murderer. She'll refuse to talk
to you anymore.
Ask her about the fanboy and the director, et al. if you want, but
you'll get nothing out of her. She won't give you the key too, so
leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Employee Area
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to the Employee Area now to find the fruit of ripping Penny's
effort to seal the drain. Yes, Cody Hackins, the fanboy, is here.
Talk to him about the case. He'll reveal that he saw everything that
happened. Unfortunately, he won't tell you what. And before you can
get hold of him, he'll escape from where he came from - the drain.
As he made a hurried exit, he'll knock the table and an object will
fall from it - an empty bottle. The label on this bottle says
"Sleeping Pills".
Empty Bottle added to Court Record.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to the main gate now, because Cody's appearance means that
Oldbag will going after him, giving you the opportunity to "borrow"
the key to the trailer at Studio Two.
Trailer key slipped into your pocket.

Head over here and examine the door to the trailer. The key will now
be used to unlock it. Enter.

Scene: Studio Two Trailer
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find the producer, Dee Vasquez, here. A pretty lady, although
unceremoniously cool. Talk to her about the crime. Somehow, she won't
be bothered to answer your questions. Apparently, she's distracted
because she's looking for a script. Looks like you'll have to help
her find the script if you want her to talk. She'll pass you a note
for Manella, which says:
"Bring me the script for Episode 13."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Dressing Room
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back all the way to the dressing room to look for Sal. Present
Vasquez's note to him, and he'll panic. Looks like he left the script
somewhere, but he wasn't entirely sure where.
Let me tell you where to save you the trouble of going around like a
headless chicken: Studio One.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Remember the director's chair I told you about earlier? Examine it to
find the script for Episode 13.

Bugger is too afraid to see Vasquez. He'll ask you to bring it over to
her instead.
Do so.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present the script to Vasquez, and she'll start talking. Startling
revelation, too.
She'll start by confirming about the meeting at the trailer at noon
on the day of the crime. According to her, however, none of the people
present in the trailer that afternoon went to the trailer, because
it was impossible for them to leave. The broken monkey head blocked
the path from Studio Two to Studio One from 2:15pm, and was only
removed at 4:00pm. During this period, the people at Studio Two were
unable to leave, let alone to go Studio One at 2:30pm to murder
Hammer.
Monkey Head added to Court Record.
Nothing else to do at the studios. Make your way back to the office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Wright and Co. Law Offices

This is when Mia appeared again. She'll remind you that you still
have a lead - the boy, Cody. She encourages you to go back to the
studios to look for the boy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Main Gate
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you're back at the studios, you'll find Oldbag there again. Looks
like she has been having a hard time going after Cody. She mentions
about a "hostage" that she can use against Cody. Your chance to get
Cody on your side.
Ask her about the "hostage", and she'll tell you that Cody dropped
something when he was running away from her. When you ask to take a
look at it, she'll blatantly refuse. Now, Mia will mention that there
could be something you can trade with her.
Talk to her about the director, and she'll mention her wish to visit
the place the Hammer died. Remember the cardkey to Studio One that you
found in Powers' bag earlier? Present this to her. Apparently, even
though she's a security guard, she doesn't have direct access to
Studio One. She'll be eternally grateful if you lend the cardkey to
her, and in exchange, she'll pass you the "hostage" - a Steel Samurai
trading card.
Now, go to the Employee Are to find Cody again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Employee Area

There he is. He'll, however, run into the dressing room when he sees
you.
Give chase.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch Mia works her magic. In no time, Cody will like her so much,
his attitude towards her will become very positive. He's still pissed
with you though, so quickly present the trading card to him.
After all the hard work, it turns out that he has a double for this
"ultra rare card". Now, if you can find him a "really rare" card...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Studio Two Trailer
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go back to the trailer to find Penny there. She's here to arrange some
stuff. Talk to her to find more revelations - apparently, something
happened recently to Hammer, which helped increase his popularity
after he went through a slump in his career. Penny wasn't sure whether
to tell you about what happened though, so you'll have to go find
the right person, again.
Before you go, however, present the "ultra rare" Steel Samurai card
to Penny. Turns out she's a collector! In fact, she's missing one card
to reach a complete set. The one you're holding is what she's missing.
She'll beg you to trade with her, and hey, she has an "ultra rare
Premium card", which Cody wants.
Why don't you trade with her? Trading is good. I've been trading
gashapons with people all over the world for a few years now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Global Studios, Dressing Room
Date: October 18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to Cody. Present the URP card to him, and you'll never seen him
so... eager.
Talk to him now. You'll see a 180 degrees change in his attitude.
Talk to him about the Steel Samurai reply "his fighting skills".
He'll pass his personally prepared "Steel Samurai: Path to Glory"
scrap book to Mia, which will be added to the Court Record. This book
records photos of the Steel Samurai's victorious moments during live
performances. Cody mentions that he always takes a picture when the
Steel Samurai lands the final blow.
NOTE: The above paragraph is important evidence. Take note.
Now, ask him what happened. Then, press him about what he saw. He
replies that he arrived at 2:00pm that day. He had to go through the
woods so that Oldbag wouldn't see him. He got lost, and was in there
for about half an hour or so, until he finally reach the studio.
After that, the Steel Samurai killed the bad guy. He got scared and
went home after that."
Now, this statement will definitely put Powers in trouble. As you
discussed with Mia about not putting Cody to the stands, Gumshoe, who
overheard everything, appears. Cody will be "under police protection"
from now.
So, at the end of all these running around, you ended up with no leads
and a serious handicap in court.
Nevertheless, save your game and prepare for Day 3.
DAY 3 - TRIAL
-------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: october 19, 9:42am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation, and Mia will tell you that you may have
overlooked something. Maybe you can find that during the trial.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: october 19, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first witness that Edgeworth will call upon is Sal Manella. the
director.
MANELLA'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
Manella was at the studios from around 9:00am that morning. He had a
meeting in the Studio Two trailer, so he ended up skipping lunch.
He was in the meeting until around 4:00pm. During the meeting, he was
pretty sure no one left their chairs.
MANELLA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
Press Manella for the earlier sentences to confirm some facts, but
as he talks about skipping lunch, press him and he'll say that he
ended up eating nothing at all.
Mia asks you don't you find this odd. Say "it's contradictory".
Remember when you were at the trailer entrance, you saw two empty
plates on the table there. Somebody must have eaten lunch there.
Manella will admit that he did eat afterall, and a t-bone steak at
that. According to him, he brought the steak to the trailer, thinking
he could eat it later. They took one break during the meeting, and he
"wolfed it down then".
Now, if they took one break during that meeting, that means his
testimony is contradictory as well, isn't it? So, when he continues
his testimony and says that he's pretty sure no one left their chairs,
press him. He'll stupidly say, no, there was no break.
When given a choice, press harder. He'll then admit that they did take
a break afterall. The indication of this cross-examination is that, if
they did take a break, one of those people in the trailer could have
gone to the studio during that break and killed Hammer.
MANELLA'S TESTIMONY 2
---------------------
Manella now says that even if they took a break, it was only for 15
minutes. Not enough time for someone to, say, commit murder in Studio
One. Just enough time to eat a t-bone steak, he adds.
MANELLA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-----------------------------
When Manenlla says that they took a break, press him and ask what time
did they have the break. He replies, about 2:30pm to 2:45pm. 2:30pm
is the time of death. Interesting. It looks entirely possible, time-
wise, for someone to commit a murder in Studio One and then go back
to Studio Two.
When he says it was only 15 minutes, press him and ask him what was he
doing during that break. He'll reply he was eating his lunch. You'll
then ask about the two empty plates. He'll reply that the other plate
belongs to Vasquez.
Next, when he says that there's not enough time for someone to commit
a murder, press him again. This time, Edgeworth will object, and the
judge will then ask you whether you're suggesting that someone from
Studio Two went to kill Hammer in Studio One on the day of the crime.
Now, you can either say yes, you claim it and claim it loud, or you
can agree it's quite impossible. Both choices will lead to Edgeworth
presenting the monkey head as an evidence. Remember? The head blocked
the path from 2:15pm to 4:00pm. Therefore, when the break commenced at
2:30pm, the path to Studio Two was already blocked.
I'd suggest agreeing that it's impossible, just because selecting you
claim it loud will have Edgeworth attacking you like crazy, and
leading to you being penalized for not doing your homework.
Edgeworth will call for the dismissal of Manella. He'll also claim
that he has found a witness to the crime, whom I believe is Cody. The
judge will then call a recess. Use this chance to take a break.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 1
Date: october 19, 11:04am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mia appears disoriented. She'll also be quite discouraging when she
says that she was wrong with thinking that someone from Studio Two
has done it. But you know Powers is innocent, and you're bound to find
some evidence to prove it soon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: october 19, 11:15am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, they're using Cody. Cody's camera will also be added to your
Court Record. It's a new digital camera that he always carry, though
he's still learning how to use it. It's likely that he had it with
him on the day of the crime.
CODY'S TESTIMONY 1
------------------
Cody wanted to see a Steel Samurai rehearsal. He found a map on the
Internet, and went to the studios that day. He went through the
woods, off the path, so that the old lady wouldn't catch him. He got
lost on the way for about 30 minutes. When he arrived at the studio, he
saw the Steel Samurai took down the bad guy! If he had his camera with
him then, he'd have taken a shot. He went after that.
CODY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
--------------------------
I'd suggest pressing him as and when you can. He'll reveal quite a
bit of stuff, like how the monkey's head wasn't busted when he was on
the way to the studio, etc. Present the digital camera has a
contradicting evidence when he says if he had his camera with him
then - he mentioned he carries his camera with him all the time just
a moment before his testimony.
Cody will now admit that he did bring his camera that day, but he
didn't any pictures because he was "busy watching". The judge will now
ask him to testify about what he was busy watching.
CODY'S TESTIMONY 2
------------------
He admits he has the camera with him, but he couldn't get his eyes off
the Steel Samurai taking down his opponents.
CODY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
--------------------------
You'll need to press him for more facts. When he says that the bad guy
stopped moving, press and ask him how did the Steel Samurai take down
his opposite number. Strangely, he wasn't sure. He'll mention a host
of attacks, but not the Samurai Spear. Press him harder to reveal that
Cody may have seen some of the Steel Samurai's fight, but he totally
missed the most important part: the killing blow.
The judge will ask you how could Cody miss the killer blow. Present
the camera once more - Cody was trying to take a picture during the
critical moment, but wasn't familiar with its operation, so while
fidgeting with the camera, he missed the moment.
Cody will admit now that you're right. Mia is also quite sure that
he's hiding more than just this, and she'll ask you to request for
Cody to testify once more.
Welcome to the real world, kid.
CODY'S TESTIMONY 3
------------------
Cody says that when the Steel Samurai escaped from the clutches of
the villain, he held up his camera to take a picture. But the lens
wouldn't open in time, so he missed it.
CODY'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
--------------------------
When he says "that's all", press him. It's quite weird that he didn't
take a picture at all, even if he did miss the killer blow. When given
a choice, press him harder and call a bluff by saying he did take a
picture.
He'll admit he did take a picture (what's with kids nowadays?). The
judge will request him to change his testimony, and he'll say:
"I took a few shots, but it was too late, so I erased them."
Remember the "Path to Glory"? The scrap book that Cody gave you?
Present it. Cody specifically said that he always take a shot when the
Steel Samurai lands the final blow earlier when he handed you the boo.
Why'd he erase the shots he took on the day of the crime, when the Steel
Samurai "emerged victorious" again?
When the judge asks you why is that so, answer "the Steel Samurai didn't
win" - it was inconceivable for Cody that the Steel Samurai could be
defeated. However, Cody witnessed the impossible. He saw the Steel
Samurai lose. Yet, to admit what he saw would destroy everything he
believed in. That's why he lied and said the Steel Samurai won. He
couldn't handle the truth.
NOTE: I like this reference to "A Few Good Man". Awesome.
It is now that Cody will break down. Yes, you're right. The Steel
Samurai fell, and then he didn't move. Apparently, you've all made a
serious error here. When Edgeworth asks what's this all about, reply
"Steel Samurai was the victim". The man who was in the Steel Samurai
costume, while being shot by the automatic camera, was Jack Hammer
himself!
Hammer was present at the action run-through that morning. Thus, he
obviously knew about about Will Powers' foot injury. No one saw him
going to Studio One, nor was there a picture of him. The only logical
explanation is that he was in the costume when he went to the studio.
It's now that Cody will reveal that he saved a photo in his digicam
from that day. It basically shows the Steel Samurai at a studio. It
doesn't look decisive, and the judge is about to return it to
Cody...
NOTE: This photo is decisive evidence!
You're now asked to select the contradiction in the photograph. Yes,
when a person is in a photograph, we'll tend to focus on him or her.
But the inconsistency is this photo is not on the Steel Samurai, but
on his surroundings. Take a look on the top right corner of the photo.
Does that look like a "2" to you? Studio Two, not Studio One! Point to
the number and present - Studio One is not the scene of the crime,
Studio Two is.
You'll now need to use the touch screen to select the scene of the
crime. Point to Studio Two and present. This would coincide with the
break time of the ones at Studio Two. That would also render the
monkey-head-blocking-the-path theory useless.
Next, you'll tell the judge that it's very significant that the murder
took place in Studio Two because "the path was blocked" from 2:15pm.
Remember Manella's testimony? He said no one in the trailer was guilty
because they could not have gone to Studio One. Yet, the reverse was
true. Only someone in the trailer could've committed this murder. They
were the only ones with access to the scene of the crime: Studio Two.
Summary:
1. Scene of crime = Studio Two
2. Steel Samurai that Oldbag saw = Jack Hammer
3. Manella and Vasquez were at Studio Two
I think you can now relate.
Edgeworth will ask you whether you've proof to show that the Steel
Samurai in the photo is Hammer, and not Powers. Say you've, and
present the empty bottle that says "Sleeping Pills" - Powers spent the
entire afternoon sleeping on that day, because he was drugged by
Hammer.
Still, the judge will say that there's no proof for your claims. True,
so tell him to fingerprint the bottle. If Hammer did use the drug to,
er, drug Powers, the bottle will have his prints. The bottle will then
be handed over to the judge.
The court will now suspend proceedings on the current trail for
today. The judge will hand you some "homework:
1. Why would Hammer steal the Steel Samurai costume?
2. Who killed him, and why?
Court is now adjourned.

Ask Powers about Vasquez. He'll tell you things that you've heard
before, about how she is the star of the studio, etc. But he'll also
bring up something unusual, about some rumors, but he's not willing to
share at the moment.
Now, ask him about Manella. He'll mention that Manella will be at her
beck and call of Vasquez, and will do anything she says.
Ask about Hammer next. It'll be revealed that Hammer's popularity
began to take a dip when Vasquez joined Global Studios five years ago.
Time to go back to the studio again.

Meet Oldbag there again. She seems to be very quiet today. Ask her
about the producer. It appears that she doesn't really like the
producer, but she was told not to talk about her.
Now, ask about Manella. She mentions that Vasquez treats him like
dirt, but he likes it.
Ask about Hammer next. She'll get really pissed because of what you
revealed in court today. Run!

Gumshoe will be here, examining the plates for traces of sleeping
drugs. Ask him about the plate. He'll do a test right away, and
confirmed that there were sleeping pills on the steak plate. The
plate will be added to the Court Record.
Ask about the investigation next. He's now quite sure that he has no
case against Powers. Talk to him about Edgeworth as well, and find
that Edgeworth had just crushed a paper cup with hot coffee in it.
Heh heh.
Oh, and the bottle of sleeping pills you passed to the judge?
They found Hammer's prints on it. So, yes, the one who put Powers to
sleep as none other than... the victim.
You'll get the sleeping pill bottle back in the Court Record.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go to the dressing room to find Penny. Talk to her about Hammer.
She'll mention about a rumor. It seems that Vasquez has some kind of
hold on Hammer, and he'd do anything she said.
According to Penny, about five years ago, they were filming a movie
starring Hammer. They were using Studio Two, which was a new studio
then. Some sort of accident happened during filming. After that, they
never used Studio Two again. They left the film set the way it was,
too.
Now, ask Penny about the last episode of Steel Samurai. Apparently,
Global Studios will not be making kids' shows anymore. Continue
asking her about the studio's policy. It appears that the Steel
Samurai incident has left a bad taste in the mouths of the bigwigs,
and they wanted to forget about all this. You'll then be asked to
present something to Penny to show her that the kids will feel bad if
Steel Samurai is no more. Present the "Path to Glory".
This will lead to a revelation about the accident that happened five
years ago. Ask Penny about it now. It seems that someone died during
that accident, and it was Hammer's fault. Vasquez managed to hush the
issue up, which was why Hammer would do anything that Vasquez said.
Penny also mentioned that Oldbag has more information about the
accident because she was at the studios back then.
Back to the main gate, then.

Ask Oldbag about five years ago, and she'll go berserk (again). She's
still pissed with you claiming that Hammer stole the costume. Show
her the proof - the sleeping pills bottle with Hammer's prints. She'll
then ask you whether you've proof that he used those pills on Powers.
Present the empty plate that showed traces of sleeping pills. She'll
now talk about the accident.
She'll then present a photograph... a photo of the trailer at Studio
Two, of how Hammer accidentally killed his co-actor. Hammer was
supposed to fight with a bad guy on the top of those stairs. He pushed
the other actor, and the man fell onto the flowerbox fence.
This give-year-old photo will be added to your Court Record.
Time to go to the trailer.

You'll find Vasquez here. She's "watching the clouds". Try talking to
her about everything you can talk to, and she won't be bothered, as
usual. Present the five-year-old photo to her, and she'll finally show
some interest. She'll invite you into the trailer to "talk".
If you want, you can also examine the empty plates again. Maya will
have the "odd feeling" once again, but she isn't sure what it's about,
yet.
NOTE: These empty plates are decisive evidences.

Suddenly, Vasquez will be in a mood to talk. She claims that the
Hammer incident that happened five years ago wasn't an accident at
all. Hammer had deliberately killed his co-actor. She deduced that if
it was merely an accident, she'd never have the opportunity to run his
life for five years.
Now, she'll demand that you hand over the five-year-old photo. Check
out those mafia guys with her! She's hell bent on "erasing" both
Maya and you... until Gumshoe stepped in! You'll feel really sorry for
what you've did to him in Episode Two now, really. She'll be taken
back to the precinct by him, and this means you'll have to face her
in court tomorrow.
You're pretty sure now that Dee Vasquez is the murderer. I'm sure you
know the motive now. No? Ok, save your game and read on.
