You know that he is lying, the evidence isn’t in your Court Record but if you examined the area outside the studio two trailer you would have noted that there were empty plates. '''Press''' him on the statement about skipping lunch. Mia will then ask you if something is odd. Choose '''It’s contradictory'''. He will now say that he had lunch outside the trailer. This admission has created another contradiction in his testimony. '''Press''' his last statement about no one leaving their chairs. When you have the option '''Press Further'''. Sal will now admit that they did take break. He will testify again, this time about the break.

'''Press''' his first statement and his third statement. If you do this Edgeworth will stop you and tell the court that it is impossible for someone at studio two to go to studio one. The Judge will ask you if this is what you are trying to claim. Edgeworth is correct; Mr. Monkey’s head was blocking the path at the time. Choose '''No, it’s impossible'''. Unfortunately this rules out the people at Studio two as suspects, leaving Will as the only possible person left.
Edgeworth calls Cody to the stand. Mia tells you to take note of Cody’s Camera in the Court Record. '''Cody’s Camera''' is added to the Court Record.
==The Break: Cross-examination==
'''Press''' his '''first statement''', and you'll find that their break directly coincides with the time of the murder — 2:30 to 2:45. If you then '''press''' his '''third statement''', Edgeworth will stop you and tell the court that it was impossible for someone at Studio Two to go to Studio One. The judge will ask you if you are trying to claim otherwise. Edgeworth is correct; Mr. Monkey’s Head was blocking the path at the time. Choose "'''No, it’s impossible'''". Unfortunately this rules out the people at Studio Two as suspects, leaving Will as the only possible person left. You can choose the other option and Miles will correct you to the same conclusion as well with a penalty.

====Witness's Account: Cross-Examination====
You have to be a little hard on Cody, but it’s just to reveal the truth. Look at the statement where he claims he didn’t have his camera with them. This seems a little out of character for Cody. He always has his camera with him! '''Present''' Cody’s Camera against this statement. Cody will admit that he lied, and that he did have his camera with him. However he was too distracted to take a picture.

Cody appears to be a little vague. '''Press''' the second last statement about the bad guy not moving. When you can choose '''Press harder'''. Phoenix will imply that Cody didn’t see a stabbing at all. The Judge will ask why Cody didn’t see the pinnacle of the fight. Remember that Cody said that his camera is new and he is still figuring out how to use it. He must have been trying to take a photo of the Steel Samurai at the time and was trying to work his camera to take the photo. '''Present''' Cody’s Camera.

====No Photo?: Cross-Examination====
So Cody claims he didn’t get a photo. That doesn’t seem right. After he came all the way to Global Studios to see the Steel Samurai he certainly would have taken a photo once he got his camera open. '''Press''' Cody’s last statement. When you can choose '''Press him hard'''. Phoenix tells Cody that he believes that he did take a photo. Cody confesses (again). He changes the last line of his testimony
*I took a few shots, but it was too late, so I erased 'em.

So Cody claims he didn’t get a photo. That doesn’t seem right. After he came all the way to Global Studios to see the Steel Samurai, he certainly would have taken a photo once he got his camera open. '''Press''' Cody’s '''fifth''' statement. When you can, choose "'''Press him hard'''". Phoenix tells Cody that he believes that he did take a photo. Cody confesses (again). He changes the last line of his testimony:
:*"I took a few shots, but it was too late, so I erased 'em."
Surely Cody would keep any and all photos he had of the Steel Samurai. He doesn’t make sense that he would delete them. '''Present Path to Glory''' against this new last statement. Phoenix and Mia now realise the truth. Why is there no victorious photo of the Steel Samurai in Cody’s perfect collection of victory images? When the Judge asks why Cody erased the photos. Choose '''The Steel Samurai didn’t win'''.

===Revealing the truth===
==Revealing the truth==
Cody lied about what happened because he couldn’t bring himself to believe that the Steel Samurai didn’t win a fight. Cody will burst into tears and finally admits the truth. It was the Steel Samurai that fell down and stopped moving. If this is the truth then the person inside the costume was not the killer at all. When you have the option choose '''Steel Samurai was the victim'''.

It was the Steel Samurai that fell down and stopped moving. If this is the truth, then the person inside the costume was not the killer at all. When you have the option, choose "'''Steel Samurai was the victim'''".
The evidence is pointing towards the fact that Jack Hammer was inside the Steel Samurai costume. Everybody assumed he went to Studio One after lunch but no one actually saw him go and the security camera wasn’t turned on at the time. He was also present to witness Will spraining his ankle. He could have waited for Will to fall asleep, steal the costume and then limp past the camera.

He could have waited for Will to fall asleep, stolen the costume and then limped past the camera.
Unfortunately Phoenix doesn’t know why Jack Hammer did this. Cody is glad to know that it wasn’t really the Steel Samurai that got beaten. Cody says that he did save one photo from that day. The Judge says it’s impossible to really know who is in that costume, Phoenix agrees. Mia stop you. There is something really important in this photo, something so important that it can change the case completely. Look at the top of the photo carefully. It’s partly cut off but there is a number there. It looks like the number 2. This means that the Steel Samurai went to Studio Two that day. All the people at Studio Two that day had an alibi because of Mr. Monkey blocking the path, however they didn’t need to use the path because Jack Hammer came to their location. Point out the '''Number 2''' in the photo and '''present''' it to the court.

Point out the number "2" in the photo, and '''present''' it to the court.
The Judge doesn’t really understand what Phoenix is saying. Phoenix will take out the guide map to explain. You have to show the court where the real location of the murder was. '''Select''' Studio 2 and '''present''' it. When you can choose '''The trailer is here'''. This means the Dee Vasquez and Sal Manella where actually at the scene of the crime that day after all.

Edgeworth finds one problem. Why would Jack Hammer steal the Steel Samurai costume? Edgeworth asks for proof. When you can choose '''I have proof'''. Remember the empty bottle, a bottle of sleeping pills that was found next to the lunch plates in the employee area. Will really was asleep in his trailer after lunch; this is because Jack Hammer drugged him with the sleeping pills! This would make it easy for Jack to steal the costume out of Will’s dressing room. '''Present''' the Empty Bottle.

When you can choose '''Fingerprint the bottle'''. The Judge collects the bottle to be sent for fingerprinting. If Jack Hammer drugged Will with these pills his fingerprints will be found. The Judge extends the trial for another day. He wants Phoenix to find out why Hammer stole the costume and who killed him.

At the office, Mia leaves Maya, who asks for what happened. Phoenix tells her that he needs proof & motive of why would Jack drug Will Powers, and that he stole the costume, yet was killed. '''Talk''' to Maya about what happened while she was absent. '''Move''' to the '''Detention Center'''.
===Detention Center===
Will thanks you for doing so well. '''Talk''' to Will:
'''Producer Vasquez:''' Will reveals that Dee Vasquez saved Global from closing after Jack Hammer quit as a star 5 years prior.
'''Director Manella:''' Vasquez accepted Manella's vision that is soon to be The Steel Samurai.
'''Mr. Hammer:''' You'll find that Hammer used to be a big star, until five years ago. Will doesn't know why.
'''Move''' to the '''Studio-Main Gate'''.
===Global Studios: Main Gate===
Oldbag seems very quiet. Maya suspects she let her guard down. She shows her presence by keeping you from the donuts. '''Talk''' to her about all of the available topics, however you won't get any new information, except Manella was "treated like dirt" by Vasquez, much to his enjoyment. '''Move''' to the '''Employment Area'''.
===Employment Area===
Maya wonders if theres any more clues here since you found the bottle here. However Gumshoe will stop you before you start searching. It turns out he's looking at the plate for the pills. '''Talk''' Gumshoe:
'''The plate''': It seems that test show that the pills leave traces to the plate by changing its color. Looks quite helpful, so the '''Steak Plate''' will be added to your Court Record.
'''The investigation:''' It turn out his investigation isn't going well,
'''Prosecutor Edgeworth:''' Edgeworth is very angry about todays trail. He also tells you that they found Jack's fingerprints on the bottle, thus, meaning that the one who drugged Will was the victim! The '''Sleeping Pill Bottle''' will be added to your Court Record once more.
'''Move''' to the '''Dressing Room'''.
===Dressing Room===
When you enter, you'll face Penny, who is cleaning up the room since Will Powers won't be needing it anymore, as this week's episode of the Steel Samurai, much to Maya's shock, will be the last. '''Talk''' to Penny:
'''Mr. Hammer:''' It turns out that she didn't know that Studio 2 was the crime scene, rather than Studio 1. It seems that rumor has it that Vasquez held "dirt" for Hammer.
'''The last episode:''' Penny says that Global Studio isn't producing kid's shows anymore.
'''Studio policy:''' The studio is canceling The Steel Samurai, so they would forget about the crime. Maya objects to this, saying that lot's of kids will be heartbroken. '''Present''' the '''Path to Glory''' to Penny for proof. Penny will change her mind, but doesn't know what to do about the incident 5 years ago.
'''Five years ago:''' It turns out that Hammer "accidentally" killed someone. Vasquez kept it quiet, fearing for Jack's career. Penny claims Ms. Oldbag knows more about this. '''Move''' to the '''Studio-Main Gate''' to talk to her.
===Global Studios: Main Gate (2)===
'''Talk''' to Oldbag about '''five years ago'''. She'll predictably be angry at Penny, whom Oldbag reveals that Nichols is her last name, had told you. She also wants proof that Jack Hammer stole the Steel Samurai costume. Choose '''I have proof''', then '''Present''' to her the '''Steak Plate'''. She'll believe Will Powers put it there himself. Prove her wrong by '''Present'''ing the '''Sleeping Pills Bottle'''. After seeing the fingerprints, she'll finally confess about the accident. When Hammer killed a man, a paparazzi took the picture, and tries sent it to the press. However, Vasquez, who was revealed to had ties to the mafia, killed the paparazzi. Since then, everyone at the studio never defied her. Ms. Oldbag will show you the paparazzi's photo of the incident, showing that Hammer pushed the other actor to the gate of a flowerbed while fighting on the stairs on Station 2. The actor was punctured by the sharp gate and died. The '''Five-Year-Old Photo''' will be added to your Court Record. '''Move''' to '''Studio Two'''. Along the way, Maya wonders: If Hammer put Will to sleep and stole his costume, then why did he go to Studio Two for? And who called him? The producer, or the director?
===Studio Two===
Once you're there, you'll see Vasquez. '''Present''' to her the '''Five-Year-Old Photo'''. She uses the photo to control Hammer. She wants to discus it inside the '''Trailer''', so '''Move''' there.
===Trailer===
Inside, Vasquez wants to know if you want information about the incident. She seems to use the photo to blackmail Hammer, and forced him to stardom to keep him from letting people know about the "accident". Vasquez will reveal to you a little surprise, Hammer didn't kill the other actor on accident, rather he did it on purpose! Phoenix wants proof. Vasquez says that she would be ran by Hammer if he had didn't do it on purpose. Oldbag says it was an accident, because she was a big fan, as she claims a few days ago, and assaulted a reporter who had the photo until she ran with it to keep the press quiet. She wants the photo, but Phoenix refuses to give it to her, so Vasquez calls her boys to "erase" them, so they won't go to court. Don't worry though, as Gumshoe will save you at the last moment. Hearing every word, he arrests Vasquez who decides to finish the job in court. It looks like you'll get to the bottom of this after all, but until then, the day ends.
You know that he is lying; the evidence isn’t in your Court Record, but if you examined the area outside the Studio Two Trailer, you would have noted that there were empty plates. Even if you didn't examine it, you'll automatically remember the place anyway.
Press him on his fifth statement. Mia will then ask you if something is odd. Choose "It’s contradictory". He will now say that he had lunch outside the trailer. This admission has created another contradiction in his testimony. Press his seventh statement about no one leaving their chairs. When you have the option, press harder. Sal will now admit that they did take a break. He will testify again, this time about the break.
Press his first statement, and you'll find that their break directly coincides with the time of the murder — 2:30 to 2:45.
