Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations/Episode 5: Bridge to the Turnabout/Part 1-1: Investigation

Wright & Co. Law Offices
Maya and Pearl seem awfully excited. In the New Year's issue of "Oh Cult!", they saw an ad to the mysterious Hazakura Temple, where they train mediums to the max. They really want to go, but you refuse initially, even though they need a guardian. However, you see something odd on a promotional picture... The girl, she looks just like Dahlia Hawthorne! How is she out here?

Your curiosity overcomes you and you decide to go anyways. The "Oh Cult" New Years Issue will be added to the Court Record. Here we go! To the temple!

Main Gate
Upon arriving, you will meet one of the nuns, who calls herself "Bikini". She doesn't seem very serious about the dangers of this place. Talk to Bikini:


 * Channeling dojo: Bikini will say this is a spiritual training ground. This "Special" training course is when a medium sits on a block of ice while chanting a spell 30,000 times, while being hit by a extremely cold shower.


 * The other nun: The familiar looking girl in the photo is named "Iris", according to Bikini. She is currently preparing the inner temple, but Bikini recommends that you check out the main hall first.

Move to the Main Hall.

Main Hall
There you meet a woman, who makes Maya look a lot less weirder. Pearl recognizes her as Elise Deauxnim, a famous children's picture book author. Talk' to Elise:


 * Elise Deauxnim: Through the conversation, you will learn of her apprentice, Laurice Deauxnim. You will meet him soon.
 * Why come here?: She is here for materials for a new book to work on. She got her clothes and props from the Hazakura nuns.

After talking, Elise will leave to help with dinner, accepting Pearl's help yet rejecting Maya's. She will give you the Hazakura Temple Map, which will be added to the Court Record. Check the map, and you will see something strangely familiar.

Move back to the Main Gate.

Main Gate (2)
Bikini has left, probably to help with the other nun.

Move to Suspension Bridge.

Suspension Bridge
It's the bridge from the last episode! It looks like a public phone next to it.

Move to the Inner Temple Gate.

Inner Temple Gate
Nothing interesting here, except for the incinerator on there. The building looks like it could collapse at any moment.

Move inside the Training Hall.

Training Hall
You will finally meet Iris, and it looks like she recognizes you somehow! She will leave before she could say anything.

Take a look around, Examine a hanging scroll on the right. It is the painting of Misty Fey, Maya's mother. The symbol on top is the Master's symbol. Maya says she couldn't recognize her face. The "Hanging Scroll will be added to the Court Record.

Move back to Suspension Bridge.

Suspension Bridge (2)
You will meet Laurice Deauxnim himself, who is actually none other than Larry Butz! It looks like the apprentice of Elise is just another part-time job. Talk to Larry:
 * Laurice Deauxnim: Larry wanted to start a new life, since that "Mask☆DeMasque" case a year ago. He took inspiration from "The Magic Bottle".


 * Elise Deauxnim: Larry will give you the Photo of Elise, which will be added to the Court Record.


 * Picture Books: Lary will say something about falling in love of "that girl". Not Elise.

Present Iris's Profile. It looks like the girl for Larry.

Just then, Pearl will come, announcing that dinner is ready. You will automatically move back to the temple.

Main Hall (2)
After dinner, Maya leaves for her training, Iris goes to the bell to ring out the lights at 10:00PM, Elise takes Pearl to learn new words, ("gravely" and "roast", take note of this. Why? You will find out later on in the game.).

Later..
You run into Elise, who is very worried about Pearl, she has been gone for awhile and decides to look for her.

You then run into Iris, who calls your name. Talk to Iris:

Iris will then leave, inadvertently calling your name. You don't remember introducing yourself to her. You ask her if you met before. Iris will give out 5 Psyche-Locks. She will then leave, but not before giving you her hood. It is said to protect you from evil spirits. Iris's Hood will be added to the Court Record.
 * Iris: She says she has been raised here as a little child and she has spent a little time in the big city. No Psyche-Locks here, so how does she know you?
 * Hazakura Temple: Iris will say she hates the idea of spirit channeling.

You decide to go to bed. One hour later, a lightning strike, and a chilling scream! You race outside for the commotion.

Courtyard
You see Elise... lying on the ground, not moving with a red stain on her! You run into Bikini, who advises you to use the phone at Suspension Bridge to call the police.

Suspension Bridge (3)
You see something shocking, the entire bridge is burning! You run into Larry. The murderer must have burned the bridge after crossing to the other side... where Maya is! You advise Larry to call the phone as you attempt to cross the bridge...

Bad idea. The bridge collapses and you fall into the river as Larry helplessly watches...
