Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 2: Turnabout Corner/Day 2 - Trial Former

Before the Trial
Phoenix won't be here today, since his foot injury is acting up, so Trucy will be filling in for him. You enter the courtroom, completely unprepared due to not talking to your client.

You will be introduced to your opponent. Hold on, isn't he Klavier Gavin? The prince you met at the crime scene!? He's a prosecutor too!?! It is revealed he hasn't taken a case in a while. Klavier says he was absent for his fans, it turns out he is a celebrity in rock music. Klavier is here to see who the man who defeated his brother is capable of. He plays one of his latest hits (Guilty Love) before giving his opening statements. Dr. Meraktis was pulling a stand when he was murdered, but why.

Klavier will call up Wocky to the stand. Apparently he requested to explain his "motive" to kill the doctor. Wocky will be called up to testify.

Wocky Kitaki's "Truth": Cross-Examination
Wocky was a patient? Press on Wocky's 3rd statement. Wocky reveals he was shot dangerously close the heart, as he ambushed a rival family. He had to be taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, the surgery was a failure!

Press on the 4th statement. He just left Wocky without a word? Klavier says the doctor may be hiding his mistake.

Finally, Press on statement 5. Wocky says the bullet is pressing against his heart right now!

Now you know Wocky's motive, revenge for not removing the bullet. Klavier now reveals that if the bullet isn't removed from the heart at any moment, it could kill Wocky! That is according to Wocky's Check-up, which will be added to the Court Record.

Klavier will now call up a witness to the stand. His name is Wesley Stickler, a junior student at Ivy University. A very talkative person he is. Stickler will testify about what he saw at the murder.

Stickler's Testimony: A Night in the Park
Stickler says there was no one else at the park. Klavier will present the Pistol, which is added to the Court Record. Trucy gets a feeling that she has seen him before.

A Night in the Park: Cross-Examination
Present Meraktis's Autopsy Report on the 5th statement. Stickler says Meraktis was shot in the forehead, as the autopsy report tells that Meraktis was shot square in the right temple!

It looks like a contradiction, but Klavier counters it by asking you a question. If you are walking in a park and you see two men pointing guns at each other, what you do? You'd tell them to stop, or scream of course. This will jog Stickler's memory and he will testify again.

Stickler's Testimony: A Night in the Park 2
If Stickler had shouted out, then the two men could have turned at his direction. Klavier will show a diagram of the crime. Wocky was o the west side, as Meraktis is on the east side. Stickler was on the south side when he shouted, so if Meraktis DID turn his head to Stickler's direction, then there was no doubt that he was shot in the right temple! It's like the evidence wants you to lose!

A Night in the Park 2: Cross-Examination
Present the Pistol on the 5 statement. It looks like there is no fingerprints on it. If Wocky did just dropped the gun and ran, then he probably had no time to wash off the fingerprints. Klavier will ask you if Wocky was wearing any fingerprints at the time. Answer No way. It is true that there is some fingerprints on it. Stickler says Wocky threw down the "murderous weapon" and ran, soon the pistol was found at the crime scene. Trucy will now say that Stickler said that he saw "something", but this doesn't mean Stickler was sure of what it was.

When asked what Wocky threw, Present the Knife. It has Wocky's fingerprints all over it.

You have proven two things. Wocky wasn't wearing gloves and it wasn't a pistol he was holding, unfortunately Klavier tells you that you have proven two other things, Wocky was at the crime scene, and he used the knife on intent to harm Meraktis. Whoops! Stickler will testify once more about the crime.

From Shot to Call: Cross-Examination
Press on all of Stickler's statements. Nothing you could say about here, thought Trucy looks like she wants to say something. What is it?

After pressing all statements, you are ask if you are finished with the testimony. Say, Yes, as Stickler's testimony seems completely flawless, so much so that The Judge decides to end the cross-examination... and declare a verdict!

Just then, a scream! It's Trucy, and she is being hold at the knife! The holder requests a twenty-minute recess. He then disappears with Trucy, who tells you to come to the Lobby. The Judge is left no choice, but to call a recess. Could the kidnapper be a Kitaki?

Recess
You meet Trucy, who looks actually fine. Where is the kidnapper? Trucy will then summon a wooden puppet, which she calls Mr. Hat. It looks like she used the puppet to help you. Why? Trucy will now say she can tell when the witness isn't confident on what s/he was saying, as she has the power to perceive peoples habits. You are given a choice, it doesn't matter which. Take Stickler for example. When he said something he wasn't sure about, his fingers were fiddling with the pages. How were you supposed to see that? Trucy says that's how Phoenix is undefeated for seven long years. She helped him during bigger matches. Does that mean he was cheating?

Trucy will say you have that power also. Could this be the power Phoenix was talking about in the last case? She tells you to "watch" the testimony, and "perceive" the truth. Time to head back in.

You will hear Stickler's last testimony again.

Stickler's Testimony: From Shot to Call (again)
Your bracelet suddenly feels funny. Is it telling you something?

From Shot to Call: Cross-Examination
Press on the 3rd statement. You feel the bracelet reacting to Sticklers statement. A picture of the bracelet appears. Touch the picture or press the button. Just then, you suddenly get a clear expression of his face, and only his face. What's happening? Trucy says you are "focusing", meaning you can see all of Stickler's actions. Trucy says you can look everywhere else. (By using the touch screen, or using ). St this case, move to Stickler's fingers on the corner of the page of his book. Now, Trucy wants you to wait on a certain part of his statement to see his habit. Then put the cursor on the habit and either press on the Perceive gauge, press, or yell "Gotcha!" on the mic. On this case, perceive on the following:


 * Ergo! I used my cell phone to call the police.

Perceive on the part written in bold. You will ask a few questions about the cell phone. On the following choices, either Ask for his number, or Ask to see his phone. Stickler will reveal that he lost his cell phone. You eventually come to realize that the cell phone you found at the Meraktis's garage yesterday is the phone Stickler lost!

Congratulations, you have mastered the art the perceiving!

So if he did lost the cell phone before the crime, how did he manage to call the police? Stickler will confess that he reached the pay phone after watching the crime commit. The pay phone was across the street from the agency. Stickler lied, because he didn't want the court to know he dropped his cell phone at Meraktis's garage. The Cell Phone is updated in the Court Record

You are now asked to prove that Stickler lost his cell phone just before the murder. Show evidence and Present the Mirror. That night, a person driving that car hit a pedestrian. He stopped at the garage before 9 PM. Afterwords, Stickler dropped the cell phone under the tires AFTER 9:00 PM, because if the car came later, the phone would have been crushed under the tires!

You now have proven that Stickler broke into Meraktis's garage the night of the murder. He asks for Klavier's help. Stickler will testify once more.

Stickler's Testimony: Stickler's "Truth"
No reaction from your bracelet, it looks like you'll have to do this the old fashion way.

Stickler's "Truth": Cross-Examination
Press on the 4th statement, then ask about The noodle stand. Stickler will say the stand said "NOODLE". When asked if this is important, say it's Very important. A neww statement will be added.


 * Why I even remember the sign on the stand the victim was pulling! It said "NOODLE"!

Present the Noodle stand on that statement. Didn't the sign say "ELDOON"? Stickler swears that it said "NOODLE". He read it from where he was. It looks like he saw that the sign said "NOODLE" and he saw it right. How? It could mean that he saw the sign from another spot. On the map, Present the spot just above the stand. He must have viewed the murder from the north. Behind the "ELDOON" side of the stand, it says "NOODLE"! This proves that Stickler saw the crime from the NORTH, not the SOUTH!

Klavier objects by saying that where Stickler was standing is irrelevant! Trucy counters it by saying it changes everything.

Trucy will explain a contradiction. When Stickler saw the crime, he yelled. The two men turned their heads to Stickler before the killer fired, shooting the side of Meraktis's head. If Stickler called out from the south side, as he claimed, Meraktis could have been hit on the right temple. But if Stickler was viewing from the north side, as you have proven, then Meraktis could have been shot in the LEFT temple. According to the autopsy report, Merakis was shot on the right side!

The Panty Snatcher
It looks like Trucy has pointed out a major contradiction to the case. (No help from you). So, is Stickler the real murderer? When given a choice, Accuse of another crime. There has got to be another reason Stickler was on the north side. He doesn't seem guilty, but not innocent either. When given the chance, Present Trucy's Panties.

On the night of the crime, someone has stolen some girl's panties. The girl (Trucy) gave chase, but the thief got away, by hiding himself in Meraktis's garage. You found those panties in the exhaust pipe of the car in it, so Stickler could have hidden it in there!

At this point, Stickler will confess for stealing Trucy's panties and will explain his motive. He was a regular at the Wonder Bar, where Trucy performs all of the time. It was her panties that Stickler was astounded about. She pulls objects rather larger than the panties out of it. Stickler was extremely curious about the panties and steals it, so he could know it's secrets.

Klavier now asks why would Stickler lie about the location he was at, as he didn't carry Trucy's panties at the time (he was forced to abandon it at the garage). Present the Bloomers. At the position he was at when he saw the crime, there was a trash can next to it. Inside the trash can, you found the bloomers. Stickler will confess that he also stole the bloomers and threw it away afterwords, because he would be search and found out about his crime!

Though Wocky is still the prime suspect, (he had a motive and opportunity) there is still a mystery about the wound. When Meraktis turned to the position of Stickler, the one you have proven, he could have been shot in the left temple, but was instead shot in the right.

Only an investigation would help solve this mystery. The Judge adjourns court for today.

Wright Anything Agency
That sure was a messed up trial today, but at least Wocky made it out okay... for now. Alita comes in, pleading you to save Wocky, as their marriage takes place in a month. Talk to Alita:

Marriage: Alita will say that she and Wocky met at her job.

The Kitakis: You will learn that Winfred is trying to get out of the gangster business. (This probably explains his apron). Wocky is against it of course and is equally determined to keep up with the family business.

Wocky's operation: Alita has heard of Wocky's operation, but doesn't think what Klavier said back there is true, that he is trying to scare everyone.

After talking, Alita will leave. Move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center
Wocky is in questioning, but Stickler is free to talk. Talk to Stickler:

Panty-snatcher: Nothing important here.

What you witnessed: Stickler insists that he saw the two men and they turned when he called out for him.

Move to the Kitaki Mansion.

Kitaki Mansion
Little Plum is out again. You let her no about her bloomers, and the panty-snatcher. Talk to Plum:

Wocky: Plum reminds you of a story about Wocky's battle. She says that Wocky doesn't have the heart to shoot anyone. Wocky and Winfred could settle their differences.

The case: Plum reveals that one of their pistols were missing. Only the family members, such as Wocky, could have taken them. This is probably why the police are here, searching the Kitaki mansion right now.

Alita Tiala: Plum has a suspicion that Alita may be holding something dark, but that's probaby because she has been in the gangster business a little too much.

Father and son: Plum says the reason Winfred wants out of gangster business is because the family needs clean money. Hopefully Wocky will see his father's ways.

Pan right and Examine the trash can where you found the mirror yesterday. The slippers may have some connection to Phoenix's accident. It has a paint stain under it. The Slippers will be added to the Court Record.

Move to Eldoon's House.

Eldoon's House
Guy is grateful that you have found his noodle stand, but is angered that he can't get it back, as it is a crime scene now. Naturally, he blames Meraktis for this.

Pan left first. An officer won't let you in, unless you could show if there is a connection between here and the crime scene. You have nothing now, so this spot isn't accessible right now.

Pan right and Talk to Guy:

The noodle stand: Guy seems to blame Meraktis for giving him his job as a chef. Just what did he do to him?

Meraktis clinic: Guy reveals that Meraktis was the only doctor at the clinic. One day, he made a sweet deal to the Kitaki family. It may be illegal, but that's what got Guy to his job making salty noodles.

Eldoon's past: Guy reveals that he was once a surgeon, until Meraktis came along. Both Guy and Meraktis were fierce rivals. No matter what Guy does, Meraktis would always follow his footsteps and stomp him at his path. It looks like you found a motive, but surely Guy can't be the murderer.

Move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center (2)
Wocky is out of questioning, so you will finally get to Talk to him:

Your fiancée: You ask Wocky how he met Alita. Wocky doesn't quite answer directly. How are they keeping this a secret?

Meraktis Clinic: Nothing new here. Wocky blames the rival family for his condition.

Wocky's Future: Again, nothing new here.

After talking, Present either the Knife or the Pistol. Wocky admits he was there that fateful moment. This will open up a new topic.

Talk to Wocky about The night of the crime. Wocky will admit that he brought a gun with him that night, thinking he sould give Meraktis "a taste of his own bad medicine". He isn't sure if he shot the doc or not.

Move to the Kitaki Mansion.

Kitaki Mansion (2)
A crowd is forming up here. Is it the crime scene. Nope, it's Klavier. He says his exhaust pipe was clogged up yesterday, so his bike wouldn't move (Take note of this. Extremely important). He also notes that Ema isn't to fond of him.

Klavier leaves, Move inside People Park.

People Park
In here you will notice something different. The blue tarps around the stand are gone, why? You then notice Ema, would, as predicted, isn't in a good mood. Ema couldn't get her "new" forensics stuff to work, and she couldn't really stand Klavier. Talk to Ema:

Detective Skye: Again, the mention about that case she and Phoenix were involved in. She went to Europe to study forensics. She failed, but that doesn't stop her from moving out of science, which is why she was trying out a new kit she got in the mail today.

Prosecutor Gavin: Nothing important about the case, but Ema will reveal a twist about Klavier... It was he who stripped Phoenix's attorney's badge seven years ago!

The new kit?: Ema is trying out a footprint analysis. It rained that night, so some footprints were left! Ema isn't doing well with them, so she wants your help with them. When given the choice, Try it.

Footprints
Ema will now show you how to make footprints. First, you will have to check which shoeprints you want to analyze. Ema wants to try out Wocky's prints. You look closer to Wocky's prints. First, you will need to pour some plaster into the print. Just pour the plaster on where you want. However, the amount is limited. You can't touch the on one spot for too long, or you will run out of ink before you finish, or you will overflow the print.

Next, you will dry off the plaster. Use the to guide a hair dryer all over the plaster. Once it's done, you will need to press ink on the print. Again, use the to rub the print with a roller until you get a clear view. The print is now planted on a piece of paper and now you can compare to the print to it's owner. In this case, Compare to Wocky Kitaki. It matches! Wocky really was at the scene of the crime!

Talk to Ema about footprints analysis. You will now examine another print. Examine the green prints. Go through the same process as explained above (pour, dry, ink, compare). In this case, Compare to Wesley Stickler.

Talk about Another shoeprint. Now Examine the red prints. It doesn't look like it belongs to someone. What is it doing here? It looks smooth, with exception from a leaf shaped part.

Examine the Slippers, now check a leaf shaped mark on the bottom. Looks familiar? Now look closer inside the insoles of the slipper. It looks like a dark toe mark. It looks suspicious. Check the mark and you will get a choice to analyze it or not. Choose Dust for prints. Now do what you did with the Knife yesterday. Sprinkle, blow, and compare. It doesn't look like the print belongs to anybody, so you can't compare it right now. THe Slippers will be updated in the Court Record.

Talk to Ema about the Mystery print. Ema will ask you if you have evidence that proves the connection to the prints and the murder. Show evidence, and Present the Slippers. The shape of the bottom matches that of the print you just found! What's more is that it says Meraktis Clinic! It looks like the slipper had something to do with the crime after all!

Now you have proof that will convince the officer to let you into the clinic. Ema will hand you Detective Skye's Orders, which is added to the Court Record.

Move to Eldoon's House stat!

Eldoon's House (2)
You show the orders to the officer, leaving him no choice but to let you in.

Finally, you can Move inside Meraktis Clinic.

Meraktis Clinic, Reception
It looks like no one is here today. Examine a pile of bowls on the ground. They must be Eldoon's! It looks like they're all clean. It looks like a clue. Examine what looks like a pair of sandles just right of the bowls. What are they doing here? It looks suspicious. The Sandals will be added to the Court Record.

Examine the Sandals. Look into the insoles and check what looks like a dark mark. You will check for prints. Do as you did with the Slippers earlier. It doesn't look like it matches anyone. Perhaps you should consult Ema for this. The Sandals are updated in the Court Record.

Examine the slipper rack. There are slippers missing, and it looks like you are holding them! Just what were they doing at the scene of the crime?

Examine the door on the left side of the screen. You hear a thump through it. Is something happening in there? Lucky for you, it's unlocked, so you move inside.

Meraktis Clinic, Office
A break in! It looks like they're escaping... too late. Well, it looks like you have to check the room. First, Examine the lamp on the ground. It looks like the burglar tried dropped it for some reason, as it is broken. It looks like there is a pink splotch on it's wires! The Lamp will be added to the Court Record.

Now, Examine the safe. It looks like someone tried unlock it. 7 and 9 are already put in. Trucy wonders if you have anything to figure out the rest. Say, I've got just the thing! Present the Fingerprint Powder, as you will have to use your fingers to touch the buttons to open the safe. You will now dust over the numbers and blow them off. Now enter the following numbers at given order: 5 and 2.

It opens! There are two notable things to look at. First Examine the piece of paper. Look at the patient's name... Wocky Kitaki! Your client! It is signed by Pal Meraktis... and Nurse Alita Tiala!? Wocky's fiancée!?! Did she used to work here?! It looks like vital evidence! Wocky's Chart will be added to the Court Record.

Examine what looks like a bullet hole in the back. You can still see the bullet, which you pull out. What is it doing here? Was that burglar trying to break in? The Bullet is added to the Court Record.

It looks like you have found everything. Move to People Park.

People Park (2)
Present either the Slippers or the Sandals. Ema will ask if there is a way to tell if both were worn by the same person. Say that you Got one right here. Then Present either the Sandals or Slippers (if you presented Slippers or Sandles first, respectively). Ema tries out both shoes... they match! Both were worn by the same person! But who? Maybe you should talk to Wocky about this.

But for now however, Move to the Hickfield Clinic.

Hickfield Clinic
Phoenix is here. It looks like you are eager to get more information about seven years ago. Talk to Phoenix:

7 years ago: Phoenix confirms that he indeed faced Klavier in his final trial. Klavier was 17-years-old at the time. (He was raised in Germany, should be obvious with Ace Attorney fans how). Phoenix lost and he left law in shame. But wasn't his departure have something to do with forged evidence?

Forged evidence: Phoenix denies creating forged evidence, nor does he admit. Just what is he up too?

Let's drop the subject for now. Now to what really matters (for now anyways). Move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center (3)
Wocky is here. Talk to him:

Guilty verdict: Wocky is still unsure if he shot Meraktis or not.

Your father: Nothing important here.

Present Wocky's Chart. When you show him the nurse's name, Woxky will admit he met Alita as a patient!

Talk to Wocky again:

Wocky & Alita: Wocky was shot and taken to the hospital. There, he met Alita. Wocky told her "(He'll) take (her) on." Alita responded by making a proposal. That's how it all went into today.

Health check-up: It is quite strange that Meraktis said he was giving Wocky a check-up, but lied.

Present the Sandals. Wocky will reveal that it was a present he gave to Alita! The Sandals will be updated in the Court Record.

You are almost finished today. Move to Eldoon's House.

Eldoon's House (3)
You can now talk to Guy for some advice, and boy is he happy? Present Wocky's Chart to Guy. He will respond by saying that Wocky is "ABD" (All but dead) unless he is on operation after hearing that he is your client. He takes off his bowl hat and ofers some advice from the doc. He looks serious. Talk to Guy:

Wocky's Chart: Guy tells you that Meraktis tried to pull out the bullet stuck inside, but failed, as it would take a true miracle to get it out before Wocky bleeds to death.

Meraktis's dilemma: Meraktis knew that it would be next to impossible to remove the bullet without killing Wocky, so he had to sew him back up. If he tells the family that he failed to remove the bullet, he would be in a world of hurt.

You then point out something disturbing. Alita Tiala. She knew that Wocky was in serious danger, so why did she call for another operation rather than to propose a marriage? What was she thinking!?

You can't go into that now, you decide to call it a day
