Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations/Episode 3: Recipe for Turnabout/Part 4-2: Trial

Recess
Gumshoe doesn't feel satisfied of what you have right now and wants to go back to the precinct to check something. It should take an hour, but court would be reconvened by then, but heck Present the Small Bottle. Gumshoe doesn't have fingerprints yet, so this may be your last chance of getting a trump card.

Tigre will be called up to the stand. After much humor, Tigre will deny ever attending Maggey's last trial. Tigre will lend his first testimony.

Tigre's Testimony: The Tiger's Ailbi
The Judge proposes a warning that irrelevant pressing will give you a penalty, so think hard.

The Tiger's Ailbi: Cross-Examination
Press on Tigre's 2nd statement. Tigre will say that his secretary (Viola) marked his calendar to stay in the office all month. Press harder. Tigre will say he never met Glen on December 3rd. The last bit will be added as a new statement.


 * The day youse talkin' about, I was in de office, too. I never saw that kid before.

Present Glen's Calendar on that statement. Glen marked the calendar on December 3rd, saying "Meet with the Tiger". So, it is obvious Glen knew Tigre. Tigre still denies meeting with Glen. He will explain in another testimony.

The Victim, Glen Elg: Cross-Examination
Present the Trés Bien Matches on the 5th statement. You found this on the desk at Tender Lender and it belonged to Trés Bien. Tigre will now say he did went to the restaurant, but never met Glen. Time for another testimony.

Tigre's Testimony: At Trés Bien
Godot proposes a penalty rule if you press on irrelevant statements.

At Trés Bien: Cross-Examination
Present the Trés Bien Floor Plans on statement 3. Tigre said he saw the back of Glen's head at the entrance, but that isn't possible, because between the entrance and the victim's seat was a tall partition, which blocks the view from the entrance, so Tigre must have seen Glen not from the entrance, but because he met with the victim.

Now you have to show who the impostor victim was that made Victor mistakenly testify wrong. Present Furio Tigre's Profile.

Godot will remind you that Victor saw the waitress sprinkle in the poison, so if what the victim Victor saw was really an impostor, then it is obvious that the waitress was in the play too. When Maggey fainted, Tigre used that advantage to put someone in the waitress outfit and pour in the "poison". When asked who, Present Viola Cadaverini's Profile. Yesterday, Maggey told you that there was another customer. You will now explain the contradictions for this case.

Tigre is still not giving up that easily. He does confirm that he was at Trés Bien, and he did meet Glen, but he asks you one more question. Did he really poison Glen? Sounds like one last testimony is afoot.

Tigre's Testimony: Ties to the Victim
You will now have to explain Tigre's motive for the murder.

Ties to the Victim: Cross-Examination
Press on Tigre's 6th statement. He says that the waitress was Maggey. Ask how things would've been. This will add a new statement.


 * I was after the $100,000. I didn't have no other reason to kill the guy!

Present the MC Bomber on that statement. Tigre wasn't after the money, he was after MC Bomber, a virus that could be worth millions of dollars. When asked for proof, Present Viola's Medical Papers.

4 months ago, Tigre was involved in a traffic accident, where a young woman was injured. She had to go to the hospital to have surgery. The surgery cost $1,000,000. But why did Tigre pay for it? Because his life depended on it! The said woman's name was Viola Cadaverini, precious granddaughter of Bruto Cadaverini, the mob boss who controlled everything in the underworld. Tigre had to do desperate things to get the money he owed them, even when it means killing the person who would pay his own debt!

Glen won the lottery, so Tigre had no legitimate chance of receiving the money, so he had no choice but to kill Glen! Afterwords, Tigre framed Maggey by re-enacting the scene with him the victim and Viola as Maggey to create a witness, Victor Kudo! Tigre now asks you how he managed to put Maggey where she had no escape from custody. Present the Paper Badge. A month ago, he posed as you, to ensure that Maggey is convicted once and for all! The Judge agrees, considering the childish job "you" did at that time!

Now you have Tigre cornered... or have you? Godot asks for one more thing, evidence. He wants you to show that Tigre really did kill Glen. But, you don't have it!... until Gumshoe arrives with that evidence, just in time! A recess will be called.

Recess
Gumshoe has confirmed the fingerprints on the medication, and they were Tigre's! However, you say this may not prove anything, as it is just Glen's medication. Gumshoe will leave in despair.

The Small Bottle will be added to the Court Record. It looks like you have to show Gumshoe and Maggey the former isn't completely useless after all.

Fighting Fire With Fire
Back in the courtroom, you are given the chance to present this final, decisive, evidence that would stand in court. Present the Small Bottle. You are asked to say what is in the bottle. Everyone in this courtroom knows... except for Tigre. If he made a phony crime, and became a phony lawyer, then you're just gonna have to fight fire with fire with phony evidence, when given the choice, say that the bottle contains potassium cyanide.

You ask Tigre if this was the bottle the murderer used to kill Glen. Tigre says it isn't... the bottle was brown. But wait, how does he know? Well no one does, except for the real murderer! And since Tigre knows it, he has just inadvertently admitted his guilt!

Maggey Byrde is found...



What REALLY Happened
The entire thing started 4 months ago with a traffic accident. Furio Tigre, owner of loan shark Tender Lender, had collided with Viola Cadaverini, granddaughter of the feared mob boss Bruto Cadaverini, with his pink scooter, damaging it, and the car he ran into. Tigre survived without any serious injuries, but Viola had to go to the hospital bad and had to have surgery. Viola's operation was a success and it cost about $1,000,000. Bruto warned Tigre if he doesn't pay for his precious granddaughter by new years, he would shut down his business (and possibly assassinate him). Tigre became desperate and started searching for the money.

Viola slowly recovered from the accident. Tigre looked carefully after Viola because he says he cared for her, though in reality, it's to get Bruto off his back. Viola trusted Tigre and started working with him at Tender Lender since.

As a loan shark, Tigre lent $500,000 to Jean Armstrong, founder and owner of Trés Bien, a restaurant that doesn't live up to its French name, and $100,000 Glen Elg, who had a huge gambling addiction. As a professional programer at Blue Screens, Inc., he made a virus called MC Bomber, a disc that can spread through computers and destroy data. Tigre became interested in it, because it cost millions in the black market. Tigre agreed to met Glen at Trés Bien at December 3rd. They met at the proposed time and date and place. The only waitress of Trés Bien, Maggey Byrde, served coffee to the two and noticed the disc. Tigre would now get the MC Bomber from Glen and pay of his debt... or so he thought. Glen was listening to a lottery show that occurred 1:30PM on the earpiece from his right ear, because recently his left eardrum was ruptured in a fight, leaving him deaf on the left side of the ear. Glen won the lottery with the ticket worth $500,000. Since it was more than enough to pay his debt to Tender Lender, Glen had no reason to give up MC Bomber.

This wasn't good for Tigre, as he needed MC Bomber to pay of his debt to save his life, so he had to take extreme measures. He slipped some potassium cyanide poison in Glens coffee. Glen drinks it and dies shortly after. Maggey witnesses the event and passes out from shock.

Just then, Armstrong came in. He owed Tigre, so he had no choice but to cover up his tracks. First, they moved Glen's body and the unconscious Maggey into the kitchen, where Tigre changes into Glen's clothes and takes the victim's seat. Viola, a "customer" at the time, dressed up as a waitress. They act out the scene where the "waitress" puts "poison" in the coffee and gives it to the "victim", who collapses upon taking a small sip. They made a witness such as Victor Kudo, a regular at Trés Bien. (Thanks to the waitress dresses there) Armstrong tells Victor to call the police and kicks him out.

As Victor looks for a phone booth, Tigre and Armstrong put the body back to the scene and put all of the evidence (the poison vile and the lottery ticket) in Maggey's apron. The police arrive and promptly arrest Maggey.

Now that he had the MC Bomber, Tigre could finally use it pay off his debt. He gained respect from the mob family and Viola continued to work for him. Tigre then did one, last move to ensure Maggey's conviction, to dress up as famous attorney Phoenix Wright and poorly lost the case for her against Winston Payne, who has proven Maggey's "motive". Poor Maggey was found guilty and was convicted, leaving Tigre to get away with everything... for the time being.

Recipe for Turnabout: Epilogue
Maggey is very happy that you finally get her an acquittal. It's all thanks to Gumshoe, but she still isn't happy about him. After for what he did yesterday. It looks like you need to show that Gumshoe really cared for her after all. Present Gumshoe's Present to make her feel better. Don't worry things will work out.

And that concludes the filler cases, the next case is now the beginning of the real deal of this game.
