Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All/Episode 4: Farewell, My Turnabout/Part 4-1: Trial

Day Three: Court Mode
You see a nightmare scene, similar to the very first scene of the game.

Before the Trail
Mia, in Pearl's body, tells you Maya hasn't channeled her since yesterday. You get a call from Gumshoe, who says he and the rest of the force, are doing whenever they can to find de Killer and rescue Maya. Gumshoe advises you to make the trial as long as possible.

Edgeworth will inform The Judge that Corrida was likely killed by de Killer, whose client is likely Engarde. He calls Powers to the stand and has him testify his visit to Engarde's hotel room.

Powers' Testimony: Visit to Matt's Room
Mia suspects another trap may be at hand.

Visit to Matt's Room: Cross-Examination
Press on the 4th statement. Powers will say that Engarde gave the bellboy a tip.

Now Press on the 3rd statement. Powers felt something "strange" about the tip-giving incident. He will add what it is in his testimony.


 * Matt gave the bellboy a tip.

Press on that statement. Powers says he was shocked about the amount of money Engarde gave the bellboy. Ask about Engarde's tip. Powers will tell you Engarde gave the bellboy a fat roll of cash! A roll? Isn't that a little too much? The Judge looks suspiciously at you. When given a choice, choose Raise an objection. Remember, you need to prolong the trial.

Why would Engarde pay the bellboy so much cash? Edgeworth informs everyone that the bellboy was Shelly de Killer, the assassin. The payment was probably for the murder. Just then, Powers remembers something, he actually saw de Killer twice! He will testify about the second time he saw de Killer.

The Second Time: Cross-Examination
Press on Powers' 4th statement. Powers reveals that the bellboy left empty-handed, which he thinks is strange. When given the option, Try to pull a fast one, and you will say there is nothing strange. Edgeworth will then state that there is no reason for the bellboy to leave empty-handed. Powers will add a new statement.


 * I thought it was kinda strange for a bellboy to come out of a guest's room empty-handed!

Present the Wine Glass or the Crime Photo on this statement. There is a tray under the tomato juice bottle as seen in the crime photo, so the bellboy was obviously in there before or after the murder occurred, which is probably why he left empty-handed when he left the room. Powers then remembers that the bellboy was wearing leather gloves. Black leather gloves! This makes the bellboy very suspicious. Edgeworth has Powers testify one more time.

Their Second Meeting: Cross-Examination
Press on statement 2. Then, Ask about the person inside after talking, Press the same statement and Ask about this "something". A new statement will be added.


 * If I saw it again, I could say for sure, but I think it was some sort of wooden statue.

A wooden statue? Preset the Figurine on this statement. Powers will recognize it as this "something". Edgeworth will tell the court that they found the bear at Engarde's house. If Engarde gave the bellboy, de Killer, the bear, then de Killer may have put it at Engarde's house. Why? Because Engarde was his client of course! Damn it Edgeworth!

Hearing this, The Judge decides to declare a verdict. No! What about Maya!? When given the choice, raise an objection. You are then given the following choices. First ask about, The person who received the bear. Earlier, Powers says he saw the givers arm, and only that, just then, he remembers who it is, The Nickel Samurai!

You are back to the question. This time ask about, The bear itself. You mention that the bellboy hid the bear at Engarde's mansion, but Engarde was asleep before he was arrested. Edgeworth will counter your claim reminding everyone that Engarde and de Killer were working together, so it is obvious of why de Killer hid it.

Edgeworth stated the truth and The Judge will once again declare a verdict. When given the option, choose Raise an objection. You mention that though Powers' claims to have seen the Nickel Samurai gave the bear to de Killer, he isn't sure who was in it. When given the chance to present the other suspect, Present Adrian Andrews' Profile. Yesterday, you have proven that Andrews wore a spare Nickel Samurai costume when the murder occurred, so it is possible that Powers could have seen Andrews rather than Engarde!

No one believes you, even the whole court is turning against you. Edgeworth, however, decides to join in your "game" and decides to call up Andrews to the stand. The Judge will call a recess, so you can rest for awhile. Whew!

Recess
Mia has left Pearl. Why? And at this time? Pearl mentions she was pulled away by a stronger force.

Your phone beeps. It's Gumshoe! He says he hasn't got a lead for where de Killer is. Just then Mia returns. She says she saw a circus tent 300 feet away from where Maya is. You tell that to Gumshoe, who decides to race there. Pray that they make it.

Andrews is called up to the stand once again and testifies about the bear.

The Bear Figurine: Cross-Examination
Press all of Andrews' statements. It turns out she knew all along about this bear. She and Corrida knew how to solve it. The bear was from Switzerland, so not many people in this country has it.

After pressing all of the statements, the Figurine will be added to the Court Record. Edgeworth is curious of what exactly is in the bear since it has a small space inside it. He has Andrews open it up and guess what's inside: Celeste Inpax's suicide note! Andrews will reveal that she knew all along from Corrida where he hid the suicide note. When Corrida died, Andrews couldn't find it, because it was already taken by de Killer.

The Judge reads the contents Celeste wrote on the suicide note. Being used and thrown away by Engarde, proposing a marriage with Corrida only to have it ruined by Engarde. And ending it all and dying in despair.

Andrews will explain Engarde's motive. Corrida was going to explain the contents to the public, and Engarde had to something to stop it from going into public and thus, saving his "refreshing like a spring breeze" image. Celeste's Suicude Note will be added to the Court Record.

You now have two deadly weapons, Present either the Figurine, or Celeste's Suicide Note. There is one tiny thing that contradicts to Edgeworth's claims: did Engarde really know about the note or the bear, if not, then why did he kill Corrida for? It may seem so, but Edgeworth proves otherwise. He brings up the spy camera. Hey! Isn't that in your possession? Edgeorth says he found it at Engarde's house, saying that both Corrida and Engarde had been spying on each other for years, so it's no wonder how Engarde find out about the note.

Shoot! It looks like destroyed the little claims you have. Do you have anything to counter this? On Mia's book you do. She tells you that Egdeworth had overlooked something. Overlooked what? If you find it, you just may have a chance to give more doubts to the court and thus, prolong the trial even more. When given the chance, choose Present evidence. Then, Present Celeste's Suicide Note. It looks like it is told about how big a jerk Engarde is, but Edgeworth has one more thing to check: the handwriting. Did Celeste really wrote the note? The note has been in your possession only moments ago and it has yet to be analyzed.

The court doesn't believe you and calls for Engarde's hanging. The Judge sees no reson to continue today and is planning to extend for tomorrow. What!? Maya can't make it for another day! And just when things couldn't get any worse, you get a call from Gumshoe, who tells you they made it to de Killer's hideout... only to find out de Killer has eluded them again! Does this mean you have to prolong the trial even longer!? Is that even possible!? Gumshoe wants to talk to Edgeworth, so you throw the phone at him. Edgeworth, however, brushes off the call since "court is in session".

Seeing no reason to continue, The Judge adjourns court for today... but just then, "Objection"!

It's Edgeworth! He requests for a thirty minute recess. By then, the handwriting analysis will be finished. The Judge agrees and calls for a recess. (Close one... maybe too close)

Recess (2)
Gumshoe will tell you that when they got to de Killer's former hiding spot, they discovered three pieces of evidence de Killer left behind. Gumshoe manages to steal the items and is racing towards court! Unfortunately, he crashes, cutting off the call.

Darn it! Gumshoe had the only evidence to save you. Is there another way to bring them? Answer There is a way. Edgeworth wants proof, Present Franziska von Karma's Profile. Von Karma has a tracking device that leads her to Gumshoe. Maybe she can take the evidence before the police does!

Edgeworth is then told the police are finished with the analysis of the suicide note. Edgeworth will call them for the results. What are the results?

Court Mode: Part 2
Edgeworth confirms the analysis and the result is what you have hoped: The suicide note was indeed a forgery! The hand writing matches those of Corrida instead. Edgeworth will explain that Engarde could not have known that this was a fake. When given the choice, choose Present evidence. There is a way that Engarde knew of the forgery, when asked for proof, Present either the Spy Camera, the Transmitter, or the Stuffed Bear. Remember, Engarde was spying on Corrida the whole time since the suicide, so Engarde could have found out in some point.

You now ask Edgeworth to show proof of Engarde's motive, since the fact that Engarde didn't kill Corrida for the confession destroyed Edhewprth's explanation. Edgeworth, however, is still not giving up, as he is bringing up a new witness to answer the big question: Who was de Killer's client? And the only person to answer that? Shelly de Killer himself! Yes, Edgeworth is calling Shelly de Killer to the stand!

Since de Killer is hiding and the only way to contact him is your transceiver, you bring your transceiver to the stand so de Killer can testify in the proper place. You finally hear Maya's voice, so it has to be him all right. Edgeworth has de Killer testify about his client.

About My Client: Cross-Examination
Press on de Killer's 2nd statement. He mentions that anyone who betrays his trust will be his client no more. (Please! At all cost, remember this statement!)

Now Press on the 3rd statement. De Killer will hint that this client of his has broken his/her role as the innocent one and is now implicating someone else for the murder. De Killer doesn't seem happy about this.

Backtrack, and Press on the 2nd statement again. He will once again say the same thing, but this time, you remind him that he just said he couldn't forgive a client who broke the rules. De Killer is now ready to announce his clients name. A new statement is added.


 * Now then, I do believe it's about time I revealed the name of my client, don't you agree?

Press on that statement. De Killer will now reveal the name of his client:

Adrian Andrews!!!... Wait, what!? Edgeworth is shocked, earlier de Killer told him it was Engarde (which is true), so why did he tell you otherwise? De Killer reveals he wants to help win the acquittal. It looks like a victory is at hand after all.

Edgeworth has failed to prove Engarde's motive and he falsely accused Engarde of being de Killer's client! Just by that, Engarde is not de Killer's client and thus, is not the real killer, he calls up Andrews to the stand.

Everything is now implicating Andrews as the real killer. She pleads otherwise, but you have proven her role, her forgeries, and even her motive, but you know that Andrews isn't de Killer's client. Andrews asks for your help, when given the choice, choose Request the trial continue.

You will now witness Phoenix and Edgeworth working together to find the truth! This is it, your duty awaits!

De Killer will once again be called to the stand and will testify further about his client.
