Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All/Episode 2: Reunion, and Turnabout/Part 4-1: Trial

Before Trial
Maya isn't in very good spirits today, she even thinks von Karma is more superior than her despite the fact they are the same age. Pearl comes in and tells you her mother will be coming to cheer you on. You ask her to channel Mia for help (and to ensure Pearl's absence). Pearl does so, and you head in the court.

Von Karma tells you she has cameras on you and your defeat will be seen all over the world. The court recalls the fact that the defendant did leave the room on one point of the murder. Von Karma calls Morgan to the stand.

Morgan says while she was performing the Spirit Severing Technique, Maya escaped at one point. The Judge has Morgan testify about Maya's escape.

Morgan's Testimony: Maya's Escape
The reason Morgan has been hiding this is because she thinks problems would arise for Maya. Now Morgan says she is correcting your falsities let's prove her you didn't falsity.

Maya's Escape: Cross-Examination
Press on Morgan's 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th statements.

2nd statement: Morgan kicked you out for reasons. Question further. Morgan will say she kicked you out for your safety, fearing that Maya would kill you both.

3rd statement: Morgan admits that she was lying about the statement to cover for Maya. Question further. Morgan said Maya did anything unexpected. Von Karma stops Morgan before you can go any further.

4th statement: Morgan seems physically larger and stronger than Maya, but von Karma reminds you that Maya is channeling someone that is a match for Morgan.

6th statement: Then choose Question Further. Von Karma says due to Morgan's unawareness of Maya's escape, she has another witness up her sleeve.

After pressing all statements, von Karma calls Ini to the stand, since she claims her sister spoke to her.

Von Karma has Ini testify about what happened after the murder.

Ini's Testimony: After the Murder
Ini says that the terrible thing Mimi said is that she was murdered by that man (Dr. Grey) and she took her revenge. The lie may seem well constructed, but Mia sees a way to deconstruct it. Let's see what Mia is thinking.

After the Murder: Cross-Examination
Press on Ini's 4th statement. Von Karma says Ini instantly recognized Mimi instantly. Question further, then choose It's very important. Ini will add in a statement.


 * I wasn't, like, scared at all. And, like, her costume looked totally, like, normal.

Press on that statement. Mia will say that's impossible (to herself). Present Lotta's Photo 2 on the same statement. Phoenix informs Ini that there was blood all over Maya's costume, the one Mimi was wearing. Ini freaks and briefly snaps, but von Karma calms her down and has her testify further about the murder.

After the Murder, Pt.2: Cross-Examination
Press on Ini's 4th statement. You ask her if she saw something strange. When asked where, say when they were going to the crime scene. Then Press Harder. When ask if this is important, say it's very important. Ini will add the answer in her testimony.


 * I, like, didn't see anyone on the way to, like, the Channeling Chamber.

Bingo! Present the Sacred Urn on that statement. If asked how this is relevant, you mention that Ini could not have missed one person. Present Pearl Fey's Profile. Pearl knocked over the urn with her ball, and she tried to fix it in the middle of Winding Way. That is where Ini and the defendant walked through, so if they were walking through Winding Way at the time of the crime, they could have saw Pearl!

You ask Ini where she really was, but von Karma denies that Ini is lying and that she was indeed at the Side Room. When asked to agree, say There is no way. Phoenix spots a contradiction. When asked where the contradiction is, say It's in her testimony just now. If Phoenix and Lotta were out calling the police, and Morgan was the only one at the Side Room, only one person was unaware because she was asleep. You then ask the question, "Where was the witness at the time of the murder!?" Von Karma has you answer the question.

You examine the Fey Manor Map. Present the Channeling Chamber. When asked where, on the Floor Plans, Present the space behind the folding screen. But didn't Lotta say she saw nothing behind the folding screen? Ini probably went unseen with help. When asked what Ini used to stay hidden, Present the Clothing Box. She must have put it behind the folding screen to keep herself hidden. Ini asks if you have proof, answer Yes, I can with some evidence. Then Present either the Clothing Box, or the Folding Screen (doesn't matter which). Both the folding screen and the clothing box have bullet holes about the same height. If this is true, then the clothing box must have been hidden behind the folding screen!

This leaves one question though, if Ini hid behind the folding screen, dressed up as Maya, drugged Maya, and killed Dr. Grey, how did she get away with it? It could have been possible for Ini to do this alone. When asked if you agree, say Correct, it's not possible. Ini had an accomplice. When asked who, Present Morgan Fey's Profile.

Phoenix describes what "really" happened:

Ini took the clothing box behind the folding screen to hide in to wait for the channeling to begin. When channeling started, Ini, dressed up as Maya complete with the clothes and wig, silently crept up to Maya and the doctor. She drugged Maya, and stabbed Dr. Grey in the chest. Ini then put Maya in the clothing box to look like the channeling was a success. Suddenly, Dr. Grey, still alive, attempted to shoot Ini, but missed leaving the hole in the folding screen, and the clothing box. Ini then took Grey's gun and finishes him off.

Phoenix and Lotta come in only to see Ini, who covered herself with Dr. Grey's blood. Morgan then kicks Phoenix and Lotta out not to perform the spirit severing technique, but to help Ini cover up the crime.

Is it over?
Not quite, as Von Karma and Ini wants you to prove one more thing: a motive. Why would Ini go to the trouble to kill Dr. Grey? When asked to present the motive, Present either Newspaper Clipping 2 or Mimi Miney's Profile (again, doesn't matter which).

Ini denies taking revenge based on your theory, she says her vengeance isn't that bad and no one has proof of Dr. Grey ever drugging her sister, furthermore, you have no proof the reason why Morgan would help Ini for her revenge, so why would Ini kill Dr. Grey? Seeing this plan to be too complicated, Ini recovers to her ditzy self and The Judge calls off the cross-examination.

It looks like the plan for murder seems too complex, but Mia is, of course, persistent. She believes no matter how confusing the motive is, she knows there has to be some reason for Ini to kill Dr. Grey. You are given a choice weather you are confident or not, say Yes, I can. Phoenix asks to present evidence for Ini's murder, but the cross-examination has already ended. Von Karma however, is interested in hearing you out; as she is confident you will slip up. The Judge decides to continue the cross-examination and calls a recess.

Recess
Maya seems traumatized by Morgan's possible part of the murder, and wonders why she would do such a thing. Von Karma then enters and taunts you. You tell her even if you do lose, it won't bring her father back. Von Karma seems careless and she and you reenter the court room.

The Judge has Ini testify about the accident.

Ini's Testimony: Last Year's Accident
Mia says it's impossible to prove Ini's motive directly, so you'll have to look at this in another angle.

Last Year's Accident: Cross-Examination
Press on Ini's 3rd statement. Then Press harder. If Mimi was so tired, why didn't they talk about switching drivers? Ini says she didn't have a drivers license. She adds it to her testimony.


 * I, like, didn't have my license, so, like, I couldn't take over driving for her.

Now you're on target! Present the License Photo. Ini says she got the license about half a year after the accident. There is no proof of Ini ever receiving the license before the accident. Even if she had one, Mimi wouldn't let her drive. Mia asks why. Ini answers with another testimony. Hopefully you get some real answers.

I Wouldn't Be Allowed: Cross-Examination
Press on Ini's 3rd statement. She says it's a new sports car from the U.K. Press harder. The Judge will have Ini revise her statement.


 * My sis' new car was, like, a totally special model from England.

Press on that statement. You are given a choice, choose Ask for the heck of it. Ini mentions the driver's seat is on the right side of the car, rather than the left. The right!? Present Newspaper Clipping 2 on the same statement. In the article, Ini mentions that she escaped on the right side of the car, and since it is the British car, the right side would be the driver's seat. And Ini was sitting on that seat!

Solving the case
This leaves one question, who was driving the car? You are given a choice If Ini was in the passenger's seat, then it will have to be Mimi Miney. If Ini was in the driver's seat and escaped, and yet Mimi was driving the car yet was killed, this leaves one question: Who is the woman on the stand now? Present Mimi Miney's Profile. The woman doesn't look like Mimi, but Phoenix informs the court that the resulting burn was so severe; "Ini" had to go to do plastic surgery to reconstruct her face. Instead of her own face, Mimi probably used her sister's picture to become Ini.

Dr. Grey tried to use Maya to talk with Mimi, but was killed, why? Mimi wasn't dead as Dr. Grey thought she was. He would've found out during the channeling, so the woman had to do drastic measures to ensure Dr. Grey doesn't find out alive.

The Truth Revealed
The woman will finally give in to your claim and will admit that she is in fact Mimi Miney, Ini's sister, who is thought to be dead. She also admits on killing Dr. Grey Mimi threw away her life and continued her sister's. But why? Present Newspaper Clipping 1. The fact of fourteen patients dying and the loss of her sister is too much for Mimi to bear. Her face burnt at the accident, she used Ini's picture to leave her past behind and start a life as her own sister.

With Mimi's confession, this leaves one question, why would Morgan go to the trouble of helping Mimi for the murder? You won't have to worry about that now as...

Maya Fey is found Not Guilty!

What REALLY Happened
It is one year ago, Mimi Miney, a nurse at the Grey Surgical Clinic, run by Turner Grey, made a grave mistake in malpractice, killing 14 patients in the hospital. The incident would come to haunt Mimi, but a few weeks later, her life changed forever. As she was driving home from work in her British sports car, with her sister, Ini Miney the passenger, Mimi fell asleep since she was exhausted from answering questions regarding the malpractice incident. Suddenly, a jolt woke her up and a few seconds later, a sea of flames surrounded her. Mimi was able to escape the blazing vehicle alive, though badly burnt. Ini was not so lucky and was burned to death.

Mimi's face was disfigured, so she needed medical attention and surgery bad. The sudden loss of her sister and the incident weeks prior scarred Mimi too much. Mimi used Ini's picture to have her face reconstructed as Ini, ditching her entire life and starting a new one as her own sister.

The papers have presumed Mimi dead and some blamed Dr. Grey for the events that transpired. Dr. Grey was repulsed, as the accusations caused the number of patients he has to drop. The only way to stop the accusations is to have Mimi admit to the crimes. Mimi was dead however (or as the papers say). Dr. Grey went to ask an occult fan, who was Mimi Miney posing as Ini. Mimi was forced to tell him all about Maya Fey, the Kurain Village, and the Kurain Channeling Technique because she was, after all, posing as an occult fan. He goes to the Kurain Village (with Lotta tagging along, to study paranormal stuff) to have Maya Fey, one of the mediums in training and daughter of the missing master, channel Mimi so Mimi can sign a confession. Maya would do so if he brought along Phoenix Wright, a defense attorney and a great friend of Maya. Dr. Grey does so.

Mimi, as Ini, feared that he would learn that she is still alive, since spirit mediums can't channel the living. The only way Mimi could stop Grey is to kill him, for the sake of her identity. She consults help from Morgan Fey, who, for some reason, decides to help Mimi.

Mimi grabs Maya's uniform and a wig that matches Maya's hair. Before the channeling began, she took a large clothing box and hid it behind the folding screen at the Channeling Chamber, where, as the name suggests, the channeling will take place. Mimi hides behind the folding screen holding a fruit knife that belongs to the Fey family. Dr. Grey and Maya enter the room with the key, which is used to lock the door.

The channeling begins, and, silently, Mimi sneaks up on the two and drugs Maya with sleeping pills. Maya passes out and Mimi then goes to Grey and stabs him in the chest, seemingly killing him.

Mimi dragged the sleeping Maya over to the clothing box. Dr. Grey was still alive and fired a shot at Mimi, (presuming that it's her spirit) but missed, leaving a bullet hole in the folding screen, the clothing box, and Maya's left sleeve. Mimi takes the gun from Grey's half-dead body, and finishes him off by shooting in the forehead from point-blank range.

Hearing the gunshots, Phoenix and Lotta, who are waiting in the Meditation Room for the channeling, bust in, seeing Mimi (presuming it's her spirit Maya is channeling) and Dr. Grey's lifeless body. Lotta takes a couple of pictures before Morgan kicks both Phoenix and Lotta out.

Morgan takes the clothes and wig Mimi is wearing and the key and throws them in the incinerator. They pour Dr. Grey's blood on Maya's clothes and arranged the crime scene so it looks like Maya had done it.

Meanwhile, at Winding Way as the channeling and murder take place, Pearl Fey, Maya's cousin and Morgan's daughter, was playing with her ball when she accidentally knocks over the sacred urn that is supposed to contain the spirit of Ami Fey, the founder of the Kurain Channeling Technique. The fall destroys the urn. Fortunately, the pieces were big, so Pearl was able to fix it. She does so, but poorly. Neither Morgan nor Mimi saw Pearl, so their alibi would eventually be broken.

Reunion, and Turnabout: Epilogue
After a happy reunion between Maya and her dead sister, Maya asks Phoenix why Morgan would help Ini kill Dr. Grey and frame Maya for the murder and ultimately send her to prison. Present Pearl Fey's Profile. The reason Morgan wanted Maya to be hauled off to prison, is because without both sisters eligible for the Masters position (Maya in jail and Mia dead), the village would have to use someone from the branch family to get the Masters position. Pearl was the member, since her powers are far superior compared to Maya.

Morgan, meanwhile, is hauled off to prison for aiding a murderer. However, she isn't giving up as she still has plans to give Pearl the Master's position...
