Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Walkthrough

-------------
Last day of the proceedings. Go for it, Phoenix!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 4
Date: October 20, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vasquez will be called to the stands. It's time to catch her with her
pants down... so to speak.
VASQUEZ'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
She entered the trailer a little before noon. The meeting began at
12:00pm sharp, and ended at 4:00pm. At 2:30om, they took a 15-minute
break from the meeting. Sal and her ate t-bone steaks on the table in
front of the trailer. They found Hammer's body later, when they went
to Studio One for the rehearsal. She was fatigued then, so she asked
Manella to take her there.
VASQUEZ'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
The judge will help you a little about the "fatigued" statement. It
seems that Manella took her to Studio One by the van at Studio Two.
She explained also that it might be risky to walk with that monkey's
head toppling over. The van will be added into the Court Record.
As usual, if you want, you can press every statement that she said,
and watch the hilarious conversations that unfold, but the one that
you should pay particular attention to is the one when she says she
ate the t-bone steaks. Present the steak plate with the t-bone - she
said she ate the t-bone steak, but as seen on the plate found at the
Employee Area, a large bone was left behind. The plates found outside
the trailer, where Vasquez and Manella claimed they had lunch at,
were totally empty. How can a person eat a t-bone steak and not leave
the bone?
Select how now from the following choices (I simply must show this
because it's funny):
1. You ate the bone, too!
2. You ate a boneless steak!
3. You didn't eat the steak!
Choose "you ate the bone, too!", no, I mean, "you didn't eat the
steak!".
Vasquez took the steak and threw it somewhere, most probably into the
incinerator.
The judge will ask you if she wasn't eating her steak, where was she
during the break. Reply "meeting the Steel Samurai".
Vasquez will welcome your challenge. From now on, it's truly a
battle of wits. Her following testimonies are not easy to break, so
be careful not to present the wrong items lest you get penalised.
She'll bring your attention to the murder weapon again? She asks how
could she, a woman of petite stature, possibly use the spear as a
weapon possibly use the spear as a weapon.
Select "I think you could.".
She'll reply that Hammer was stabbed from the front, which means he
must have noticed the presence of the murderer. She's weaker and
slower than Hammer, and couldn't possibly win such a fight. She also
emphasizes the fact that she didn't have the spear - the photograph of
the Steel Samurai shows that Hammer himself was holding it.
Now, you'll automatically "take back your previous claim", and get
yourself penalised. No choice on this one, but what follows is
important - you'll claim that the Samurai Spear was not the murder
weapon.
NOTE: Webapprentice wrote that you CAN avoid being penalised. Here's
how to do it - when asked how how she possible use the spear as the
weapon, select "You couldn't have." You'll then admit that Dee
couldn't lift the spear easily, but then explains that this is
irrelevant, because the spear is not the murder weapon. You'll then
be asked to explain why.
Present the Samurai Spear - the spear broke during the run-through in
the morning. But Oldbag fixed it with duct tape. With the spear
already weakened, it's impossible for anyone to use the spear to stab
through the thick Steel Samurai costume.
Vasquez will reply and ask you what's the murder weapon then. I think
you should know by now. Remember the five-year-old photo that she
tried to take back from you? Think about why she did that. Select
"I can tell you", then present the five-year-old photo to shock the
court and everything else in it.
The photo shows Hammer's co-actor being killed by the sharp flowers
fencepost. Yes, the fence was the weapon. A mere push from the top of
the stairs would be enough to send someone falling down, and having
his or her chest stabbed like a spear.
More rebuttals from her. This time, she'll argue the fact that the
body was found at Studio One, and in the Evil Magistrate costume.
She wouldn't have time to kill Hammer, dress him up in the costume,
and move his body to Studio One in the space of 15 minutes.
Select "she had another way", and for that matter, there was no need
for her to do the deed in 15 minutes. Present the van now - Vasquez
didn't carried the body to Studio One by hand. She used the studio van
to do it.
And she did it between 4:00pm and 5:00pm - she mentioned that Manella
took her because she was fatigued. It was during this moment that he
drove her to Studio One to dispose the body, and helped her with the
changing of costume on Hammer's body. When asked whether you're
suggesting that Manella was a conspirator, say "of course he was".
In fact, they also disposed the Steel Samurai costume by burning it
in the incinerator outside Trailer Two.
She'll concede defeat, BUT, will not admit to the crime because you've
no decisive proof. Ask her to testify again. Watch now as Edgeworth
helps you out in forcing her to testify. It seems that Edgeworth is
now convinced that she did it, and he'd want her behind bars as much
as you do. He'll ask her to talk about what happened after they
allegedly "found" Hammer's body.
VASQUEZ'S TESTIMONY 2
---------------------
She was with Manella and Oldbag when they found the body. Penny was
there too. Only Powers was absent. She immediately called the police.
Then Powers showed up. Oldbag claimed that Powers did it, and he was
arrested. Vasquez then I went back to the trailer to get her script
and direction notes, and went home after that.
VASQUEZ'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
-----------------------------
Press every sentence for more juices, than press even harder for even
more juices if required. When she says she went back to the trailer to
get her script, press her and she'll say she was under the impression
that a rehearsal won't be going on since there was a murder going on,
so she didn't bring her script and note. This is when Edgeworth will
object her on your behalf - she said she didn't bring the script because
there wouldn't be a rehearsal, which means that she'd have had known
about the murder before going to Studio One.
Vasquez will reply that it was because she knew that Hammer was
injured and couldn't do action scenes, which was why she left her
notes behind.
Press this statement and asked her how did she know about the injury.
She appears a little shock, but quickly regained composure by saying
Manella told her about it. Present the photo of Hammer in the Steel
Samurai costume now - it was Powers, not Hammer who was injured!
Now, tell her that she knew Hammer was injured because "she saw Hammer
limping". Watch the explanation that follows.
Vasquez is one persistent killer. She'll argue that she has no motive
to kill Hammer. In fact, since she has been squeezing money out of
Hammer for years, killing him will actually reduce her, er, income.
The judge will concur and ask you whether you know her motive. Well,
of course you do. Let me first ask you: Why did he steal the Steel
Samurai costume? To cover his identity, obviously. And why did he has
to cover his identity? Could it be because he wanted to KILL SOMEONE
WITH THE IDENTITY OF STEEL SAMURAI? Now, with that in mind, why did he
go to Studio Two? Because the person he wanted to kill was there.
Who, at Studio Two, was he most likely to kill? Vasquez, of course,
the woman who has been tormenting him for years! Now consider this:
What if he wasn't successful in the attempt? What if, out of self
defense, Vasquez pushed him down the stairs, leading to his death?
This, my friend, is the truth.
Select "she has no motive", because the person who was out for blood
was Hammer, not her. Then, present the five-year-old photograph when
asked to prove this, to explain the entire situation.
At the end of all this, Vasquez will finally admit defeat, and confess
to the crime. Out of self defense, she has accidentally killed Jack
Hammer. The rest, as revealed earlier, was history.
Yes!

Date: October 20, 2:47pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go through the conversation as usual, and when Powers ask you why did
Hammer frame him for murder, present the Steel Samurai photograph to
tell him that Hammer is jealous. Edgeworth will also appear to reveal
more startling, er, revelation about the past between you and him.
Apparently, you two seem to be good friends during your younger days.
Save the game when you can. Finally! A long episode down the drain!
Two more to go!

DAY 1 - INVESTIGATION
---------------------
As the episode begins, watch the cut-scene of two person talking on a
boat. One of them will kill the other. As the scene unfolds, be very
surprised to find that Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth is the killer!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Wright and Co. Law Offices
Date: December 25, 10:08am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We wish you a Merry Christmas! Let's begin.
Go through the usual conversation to find out a murder that happened
at the Gourd Lake. A suspect has been identified, and he's none other
that Edgeworth. Looks like you'll have to defend him this time round.
NOTE: Also note the news about "Gourdy", supposedly a "monster" that
has recently appeared in that area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth to find out more about the case:
1. The murder took place at Gourd Lake late last night.
2. Edgeworth was at Gourd Lake, which is very far away from his home
and office, because he wanted to see Gourdy.
I think he isn't very truthful with the second one.
Present your attorney's badge to him now. Tell him to let you defend
him. He'll laugh it off and say that you're too inexperienced to
handle a case like this. He specifically asks you to stay out of this
case.
After you present the badge, you can ask him whether did he do it.
He refuses to reveal anything, but once again, he'll ask you to stay
out of this case. He also mentions that no attorney has agreed to
help defend him, yet he doesn't want you.
Go to Gourd Lake Entrance now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Park, Entrance
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As usual, scene of crime = Gumshoe. Talk to him to find out that:
1. The crime happened at about 15 minutes after midnight last night
(which makes it this morning, actually).
2. There was a boat out on Gourd Lake. In that boat were two men. One
of those men shot the other with a pistol. Apparently, the shooter was
Edgeworth.
3. Edgeworth was arrested on the spot.
4. There was a witness to the crime, who called the police.
5. The police are sure that Edgeworth did it, so they're not really
serious in their investigation.
6. The witness's identity is confidential, at the moment. As usual.
Ask him about "defense request". Strangely, Gumshoe will reveal that
Edgeworth has very high regards for you after the Steel Samurai case.
After some talking, someone will tell Gumshoe about an investigation
briefing. Before he leaves, ask him for the autopsy report. Sadly,
it isn't ready yet. Damn those CSIs.
Gumshoe will give you directions to the police station though, so you
can go there to look for him if you need. You'll also gain access to
the park now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Public Beach
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Examine this area. On one of the benches, you'll find a popper. When
Maya asks whether she can take it, agree to it and it'll be added to
the Court Record.
There's a stall selling "Samurai Dogs" here, but it's closed.
There's a also a signpost just beside the tree on the left. It says:
"Left - Boat Docks, Right - Exit".
Go to "Gourd Lake woods".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Woods
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll find someone camping here. Examine the area to find a signpost
that says: "No camping." Strange that people are camping here.
The camera on the left section of this place is a sound-activated
camera. Maya will use the popper to test the camera, and it'll start
taking photographs. This will alert the camper.
NOTE: Popper used and discarded.
Present your badge to her to introduce yourself. She'll give you to
the permission to ask her questions about the case.
Talk to this lady. Her name is Lotta Hart. She's here photographing
meteor showers for a research project. She's a research student at
Country U. She started camping here about three days ago. About the
case, she mentioned she might've seen a boat last night, but she
wasn't sure, since she has been here for a few days, and has seen
many boats.
Ask about the camera. She confirms that the camera is programmed to
pick up loud noises now, and will respond by taking pictures. This
camera will be added to the Court Record.
Present this camera back to Lotta - it responds to loud nosies, and a
pistol shot is a loud noise. Maybe it took a photo? She'll check the
film inside her SUV. Come back later for her.
Make a move to the boat rental shop now if you want, but there isn't
anything there of note, for now. So, go to the CAD instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe is just out from his meeting. Talk to him. They still can't
ID the victim, unfortunately. But he does have the autopsy report for
you. It says:
Time of death: sometime of the 24th or 25th
Cause of death: one bullet shot to the heart
The photo of the victim will be unveiled now. Strangely, Maya feels
that she has met him somewhere a long time ago. Nothing more about
this now, so don't bother.
Go back to the woods for Lotta.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Woods
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lotta's camera took two pictures last night. The first photo shows the
boat with two persons on it. The right person is holding what looks
like a pistol. The distance is too far away to tell who's shooting
who.
NOTE: She didn't show the second photo. Don't worry, you'll get to see
it eventually.
Lotta now claims she saw the murder. Looks like she'll become a witness.
Whether you ask her to tell the cops or not, she'll decide to do so. And
because of that, she'll refuse to tell you what she saw last night. You
can have the photo though.
Go to the beach again now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Public Beach
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man in Santa's costume appears out of nowhere... oh wait, he's
actually Larry in disguise. Remember Larry? You cleared his name in
your first ever case earlier. He's the guy selling "Samurai Dogs" at the
hotdog stand at the beach.
Talk to Larry about the Samurai Dogs. This will open up a further
conversation about Gourdy the lake monster. Larry will show you a
newspaper article about Gourdy. The article has a picture of something
like a monster's head in the lake. The person who took the picture
mentioned that he heard a sound like an explosion after setting his
camera, followed by the sound of something slipping into the water.
Strange.
Newspaper article added to Court Record.
Ask Larry about what happened last night. This will reveal that
Edgeworth, like Larry, was your classmate in grade school. Talk about
Edgeworth now. It seems that Edgeworth's father was a famous defense
lawyer. Funny how Edgeworth, who aspired to be like his father, became
a prosecuting attorney.
Leave him now and return to the office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Wright and Co. Law Offices
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maya will say that she has a strange feeling about something. She'll
ask for the autopsy report. Then suddenly, she'll remember the who
the victim is. He's a lawyer who worked at Grossberg's office before,
where Mia used to work.
Go to Grossberg's office now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Grossberg Law Offices
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You noticed that the painting of his love is still missing, despite
you taking Redd White to his task. He tells you that since White
didn't exactly steal it from him, he can't take it back.
Now, ask him about the murder last night. He haven't heard about it
at all because he just woke up. Present the autopsy report to him, and
he'll remember that yes, the victim worked in his office before. His
name is Robert Hammond.
Talk about Hammmond, and Grossberg will tell you that Hammond was the
defense attorney of the DL-6 Incident. Yes, Mia's mother's case.
Ask him about the case. It happened 15 years ago. They never caught
the criminal. Misty Fey contacted the spirit of the victim, and her
statement pointed towards a suspect. But Hammond won the case, and the
suspect was declared innocent.
It's also revealed that the DL-6 Incident also has everything to do
with Edgeworth. The victim in the DL-6 Incident was none other than
his father, Gregory Edgeworth. Grossberg will then encourage you to
talk to Edgeworth for more details if you want to know more. He'll
hand you a photo of Misty Fey. This is the same photo you found in his
office during Episode Two, the one which says "DL-6 Incident - Exhibit
A" on its back.
Time to go back to the Detention Center.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present Misty Fey's photo, and Edgeworth will say that he didn't
want you to find out about the DL-6 Incident, which was why he refused
your offer to defend him. With you finding out about the incident,
he now feels that he has nothing to hide.
Talk to him about the DL-6 Incident. He confirms that this case
involves his father's death. His father was shot dead, right before
his eyes. A suspect was arrested soon after. It was obvious that he
was the only one who could've done it. Misty Fey confirmed the same
idea. It was then that Robert Hammond cleared the suspect's name.
Now, the DL-6 Incident happend 15 years ago, or, to be exact, on
December 28. The statute of limitations on the case runs out in three
days.
NOTE: The statute of limitations is a limitation of the number of
years that the police can take to apprehend a criminal. Murder happens
to have a limitation of 15 years, which means that, if a murder
suspect manages to evade arrest for more than 15 years, even if it's
only by a minute, he or she can never be charged under the offence,
even if decisive evidence is eventually presented then.
Ask about the suspect. Edgeworth doesn't know where he's now, and
mentions that if he's still alive, he'd be about 50 years old now.
Now ask about his father, but he's not willing to talk about this
issue.
Present Lotta's photo to him now, and he'll tell you that he didn't
kill Hammond. He'll eventually ask you to defend him. Say yes. He'll
give you a letter of request. Bring it to the CAD now... but wait, an
earthquake occurs almost immediately, but subsides after a few
seconds.
Notice that Edgeworth is now curling like a ball on the ground. He
seems to have a really bad fear of earthquakes.
Ok, now go to the CAD.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department, Criminal Affairs
Date: December 25
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Gumshoe. He'll tell you that Lotta claims she saw Edgeworth
fired the pistol. She even had a photograph to prove it. Although the
photo is too small to tell the persons on the boat, Lotta says that
she'll be enlarging it for a clearer view. You'll also get to know
that the mysterious first witness who, er, witnessed the incident, has
decided not to testify after all.
Present Edgeworth's letter of request now. All set and done. Gumshoe
will prepare the documents right away, and you'll be in court the
next day.
Great. First day done.
DAY 2: TRIAL
------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 26, 9:44am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edgeworth will inform you that Manfred von Karma will be the
prosecutor today. Apparently he's "the best", and hasn't lost a case
in his 40-year career. He'll do anything to get a guilty verdict. He
also happens to be Edgeworth's mentor.
Anyhow, let's get into court and begin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 3
Date: December 26, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe's first to go. He presents a map to explain the case. The
murder happened late Christmas Eve, around midnight. There was a boat
in the very middle of the lake. There were two men on the boat. A
woman happened to be camping on the edge of the lake. At 12:10am, she
heard two pistol shots. Then the boat started to move. It went towards
the boat rental shop.
The Overhead Map that Gumshoe used to present the cap will be added to
the Court Record.
GUMSHOE'S TESTIMONY 1
---------------------
Gumshoe mentions that a man called the police at about 12:30am. They
headed to the scene of crime ASAP, and found Edgeworth there. He
didn't suspect him of anything, but a body was found the next morning
in the lake, so he had to arrest Edgeworth.
GUMSHOE'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
-----------------------------
I know you'll feel bad doing this, but you'll have to press Gumshoe.
Karma is very, very good though, and he'll object you regularly,
making it hard for you to concentrate.
When Gumshoe mentions about the body, ask whether did he find any
clues on the body. He'll reply that a single bullet was recovered.
The victim was shot through the heart fatally. He'll submit the bullet
as an evidence, and as usual, this goes into your Court Record.
Next, when Gumshoe says he has to arrest Edgeworth, ask him why. He
replies that the found the murder weapon in the boat. He'll present
the pistol as an evidence. This will force him to revise his testimony
too, and he'll now say that the murder weapon found on the boat is
decisive evidence.
Press this sentence, and ask why was it a decisive evidence. He'll
say that there were fingerprints on the pistol. They were prints of
Edgeworth's right hand. The pistol will now go into the Court Record
as well. Strangely, if you look at the description of it in the
record, it says it was "fired three times".
Anyway, Karma will ask whether the bullet found in the victim's body
matches the pistol. Gumshoe will reply that the ballistic markings on
the bullet match the pistol. Watch now as the meaning of "ballistic
markings" is explained.
Karma will now summarise his position: Since the bullet found on the
victim is fired from the pistol, and the pistol bears Edgeworth's
fingerprints, it's obvious that Edgeworth is the murderer.
The judge will almost declare the verdict at this point, but I think
Karma still wants to toy with you, so he'll want to summon Lotta to
the stands. He'll give you a breather though by calling for a break.
And you thought only the judge can grant a recess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 26, 11:09am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth. He confirms that it was him in the boat. But he
urges you to believe him, that he didn't shoot the victim. He heard a
gunshot from very close by, and then the victim fell from the boat.
Edgeworth thought, at that time, that the victim had shot himself.
Then, as Maya finds herself useless and wants to leave, ask her to
stay.
Back to court again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Courtroom No. 3
Date: December 26, 10:00am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lotta takes the stands.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 1
-------------------
It was Christmas Eve, after midnight. Lotta was in her car when she
heard a "bang" coming up from the lake. When she looked out, she saw
two gents in a boat. Then, there was another bang. There wasn't
anything else on the lake but that boat.
It's now that Karma interrupts her and asks her to present the photo
as an evidence.
The judge will now say that the evidence presented so far as decisive,
and he has very little doubt about this case. He'll now pass his
decision... until you intervene.
You can cross-examine Lotta now, but if you fail to find anything
contradictory, you'll be held in contempt of court. When Maya asks
you do you think Lotta's testimony is contradictory, say yes.
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 1
---------------------------
Press Lotta on her statements, and be prepared to get a lot of
objections from Karma. As the cross-examination comes to an end,
you'll still find no contradiction. Karma will force the judge to hold
you for contempt of court. This is where Maya steps in and gives Lotta
a blasting. Lotta will retaliate by saying that she clearly saw
Edgeworth. At the end of the whole commotion, the judge will ask the
guard to escort you out of the courtroom. Now, Karma will rub salt
into wound and ask you isn't it that what stands between Edgeworth and
his conviction merely the passing of the sentence?
Say "no" - Lotta said she clearly saw Edgeworth, but that was not in
the testimony. That changes her testimony, and you've a right to
cross-examine her again. This is when the judge finally shows some
balls, and allow you to cross-examine Lotta again. Maya will have to
leave the court for her outburst though.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 2
-------------------
Lotta claims that she saw it as clear as day, that the man on the boat
was Edgeworth.
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 2
---------------------------
Present the photo that Lotta gave you earlier - there was something
that's quite clearly visible in the photo. The fog. This photo was
taken with professional, high quality film, yet even it couldn't
capture the faces of the men on the boat. How could Lotta have seen
Edgeworth cleary from the distance between her car and the boat?
She now adds another testimony.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 3
-------------------
It was a cold and foggy night, so once Lotta finished the setting up
of her camera, she got back into the car. She brought her binoculars
with her. When she heard the noise, she looked with her binoculars.
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 3
---------------------------
When she talks about bringing her binoculars, press her and ask why
was she bringing a binoculars, when she'd need a telescope to see the
shooting stars she was intending to, er, see. You'll raise a doubt
about her camera too. You'll be asked whether you want to press
further about the camera. Do so. Lotta will testify that the camera
was set up to take pictures of meteor showers.
Present the camera now - if the camera was set up to take of meteor
showers, why was it facing the lake?
Point out to the judge that the camera was set up to "show evidence".
You'll then be required to present an evidence to tell the judge what
was Lotta trying to photograph. Present the newspaper article on
Gourdy - she was trying to take pictures of Gourdy all the while.
Lotta will ask you for proof, Present the camera again - her camera
was set up to take photos in response of loud noises, which was why
the photograph of the boat was taken when a pistol was fired. The
newspaper article mentioned that a loud noise was heard before the
appearance of Gourdy. That's why Lotta set her camera to respond to
loud noises.
Unfortunately, that doesn't change what Lotta claimed that she saw.
You know that's not true though, or Karma wouldn't have try to get
Lotta to cover up about the Gourdy issue.
LOTTA'S TESTIMONY 4
-------------------
Lotta is not a research student at the university. She's an
investigative photographer. Imagine what a scoop it'd be if she got a
picture of Gourdy. That's why she was camping out by the lake. She
claims that's all she was hiding. When she heard the "bang", she
looked right straight out at that lake. There wasn't much else to look
at, so she just watched the boat the whole time. Then she was a flash,
near one of the men's hand, and she heard another gunshot. She was
looking right at that boat, the whole time.
Karma tries to stop you from cross-examining, but you'll object to
his objection (yay!).
LOTTA'S CROSS-EXAMINATION 4
---------------------------
When she says there wasn't much else to look at, present the newspaper
article - any normal person would've notice the boat, but for Lotta,
who was looking out for Gourdy, a loud bang would surely have her
scanning the lake for any signs of the monster. She wouldn't have
given the boat a second thought.
Moreoever, she testified earlier that she was watching the boat
through binoculars. Well, she wouldn't see binoculars to watch the
boat. She needed them, however, to search for Gourdy.
So, there, she wasn't watching the boat afterall. She'll admit that
she got kinda excited because she has the chance to become a witness
of a murder. This girl wasted the last hour or so of your time playing
this game because she quite like the idea of becoming a witness.
Now, Lotta will say she took the photo and... before Karma steps in
and stop her from talking. Remember Gumshoe told you earlier at the
CAD that Lotta intended to enlarge the photo? Yes, she enlarged the
photo. But why didn't Karma let her show it? The answer is obvious -
the enlarged photo shows something bad for Karma.
Make Lotta show the enlarged photo. Lotta will reveal that Karma told
her not to show the enlargement in court. Aha! She'll show it, and
you'll find that you still can't see who's firing. The enlarged lake
photo will be added to the Court Record.
One thing is for sure though - I hope you discover it - the photo
shows that the person who was firing the pistol was holding it with
his left hand. Remember the fingerprints found on the pistol? It was
of Edgeworth's right hand.
So, when given the chance to show your observation, do it by
"objecting to the enlargement". You'll now be asked to identify the
area of contradiction on the photo. Point to the left hand of the
man who fired the pistol, and present.
Now, present the pistol.
This will lead to Karma asking you who shot the victim. Remember what
Edgeworth told you earlier? Say "the victim himself" - the only
logical explanation is that the victim has committed suicide.
Karma will object to the suggestion of suicide - an examination to the
victim's wound reveals the distance at which he was shot. He was
clearly shot from further than a distance away. Now, that'd rule out
sucide, wouldn't it? This new information will be updated into the
autopsy report.
The judge will decide to suspend the trial so that both Karma and you
can do further investigations. It has been a long day in court, but it
has been all worthwhile. You still live to fight another day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: District Court, Defendant Lobby No. 2
Date: December 26, 1:15pm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Edgeworth to finish this mandatory part.
You'll also get Lotta's Deposition into your Court Record - she didn't
see the shooter, so the remaining point of note is about the bang she
heard before the shooting.
Save your game.
DAY 2: INVESTIGATION
--------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maya is in detention again after her outburst in court. Talk to her
and you'll be glad to know that Gumshoe has decided to let her go
after questioning, considering this is her first offense. But you'll
have to get bail money (duh!) though.
Go to the CAD now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department, Criminal Affairs
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshow is not here today, as he's at the crime scene. You'll get to
know that he got into a fight with his chief for "not following
protocol".
Go to the woods now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Woods
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gumshoe is here. Talk to him, and you'll find that Karma will be
bringing in another witness. That'd be the mysterious man who made the
call to the police, but didn't testify today.
Find out more about Edgeworth if you want, about why he became a
prosecutor instead of a defense attorney like his father, and why he
was afraid of earthquakes.
Talk to him about Maya now, and he'll promise to go back to the
station and let her go ASAP. Be happy that Edgeworth is paying for the
bail too, heh!
Go back to the detention center now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Detention Center, Visitor's Room
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pick Maya up and leave.
Go back to Gourd Lake Entrace now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Park, Entrance
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You'll meet Lotta here. She wants to make it up to you for lying in
court. Talk to her about "making it up", and she'll have a new clue
for you, which Karma didn't want her to tell. She wants a trade with
you though. Accept the deal. You'll now have to find Gourdy, or at
least, evidence that Gourdy doesn't exist at all, to exchange for the
information she has about the case.
Go to the beach now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Public Beach
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you reach here, you'll find that the beach area has changed.
A large, er, something of the Steel Samurai is there! Larry will be
here as well. Apparently, Larry is using the Steel Samurai to sell his
Samurai Dogs.
Talk to him. He'll reveal that the samurai has always been there, but
his compressor broke some time ago, so he sent it for repairs, which
was why the samurai wasn't here for a while.
NOTE: Take note of this conversation. It'll come in useful later.
Examine the Steel Samurai. Maya says something is wrong about it. She
doesn't say what. Check out the flags here as well.
Now, go to the cAD to look for Gumshoe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Police Department, Criminal Affairs
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to Gumshoe about the investigation. He reveals that they're now
discussing about Edgeworth's motive. It looks like Karma will drag
out Edgeworth's past and hit him hard with it tomorrow.
Ask Gumshoe about Gourdy now. You'll tell Gumshoe about the deal with
Lotta. He'll volunteer to help you find the monster by loaning you
one of the police's "secret weapons" for finding evidence.
Ask about the secret weapons, and he'll show them to you:
1. Missile: A K-9 police dog, still in training.
2. Gumshoe's fishing pole: Er, ok.
3. Metal detector: Er, why?
You'll need to choose one. Whatever you borrow will be added to the
Court Record.
If you choose Missile, he'll eat up Larry's hotdogs at the beach.
If you choose the fishing pole, it'll break before you can even do
anything to it when you're at the woods.
So, I'd suggest you choose the metal detector. Go to the boat rental
shop after that.
NOTE: The metal detector, amazingly, proves to be a decisive evidence
in this case!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Boat Rental Shop
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally, something happens here. The detector will go beeping. Maya
will find an air tank in the bushes. Its valve looks broken. You'll
find that the air tank is surrounded by a string of flags, much like
those found at Larry's hotdogs stall.
The air tank will be added to the Court Record.
Go to the beach again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Public Beach
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present the air tank to Larry. It appears that he knows something
about the tank. Ask him does it belong to him. It's obvious now that
the tank belongs to him, but he'll deny it, and ask you why would he
need an air tank. Reply "to inflate something".
It appears that he used the air tank to inflate the Steel Samurai
balloon (ok, so it's a balloon). He'll reveal that he used the air
tank to inflate the samurai balloon when his compressor broke, but it
didn't go so well.
Ask more about the tank now. It'll be eventually revealed that the
air tank was too powerful for the balloon. The valve busted open and
made an incredible noise, and the tank landed into the lake together
with the balloon.
Now, talk to him about "the flying air tank". He tells you that the
incident happened on the 20th, which is about a week ago. He then
went searching for the balloon every night in a boat, and finally
found it after four days - incidentally, the day he found the balloon
was on the night of the murder.
The mystery of Gourdy is now solved though. Don't get it? Go to the
woods to look for Lotta now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scene: Gourd Lake Woods
Date: December 26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tell Lotta that Gourdy doesn't exist. When she asks for proof, present
the air tank - a loud noise went off when the valve broke, and when
the tank and the balloon flew into the lake, a couple was taking a
photograph of the lake as well. The "Gourdy" in the photograph is
actually that of the tank and the balloon.
You'll get your information now. Talk to her for it, and Lotta will
tell you that she overheard the cops around here saying something
about the witness tomorrow. They said he's the caretaker of the boat
rental shop.
She'll also give you another photo. Remember the second photo that
she didn't show you? It was a picture of the lake, and she figured it
wouldn't be of much use, which was why she kept it for herself. This
second photo, which was taken on the 24th at 11:50pm, will be added to
the Court Record.
Go back to the boat rental shop now.
