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)
