Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Goodbyes/Day 4 - Trial: Difference between revisions

#I, uh, went to buy some food for Polly, see…

#Err… I mean, I'd need one of those "motive" things, right? And I don't got one.

This man is Yanni Yogi. Phoenix knows it. Press him on his fourth and fifth statements. Karma objects of course. The judge asks you to tell the court this man's name. Answer "Yanni Yogi". The judge and Karma want proof. Phoenix tells them to check the caretaker's fingerprints against Yogi's from 15 years ago. Karma, however, tells you that the caretaker has no fingerprints. According the caretaker, he worked at a chemical plant before running the boat rental shop, where he burned off his prints in a chemical accident.

Now you don't have proof, and Phoenix has run out of ideas once again. Karma jokes that Phoenix should cross-examine the caretaker's parrot. You've seen that the parrot must know something about the case, so Phoenix takes Karma up. Karma tells you if the parrot doesn't say anything, you'll face great consequences, and then asks if you'll still do it. Answer, "Yes, I'm doing it". The judge then calls Polly to the stand. It may seem ridiculous, but this bird is your only chance of winning.

Press Polly on her first statement, where she says her name. You won't get anywhere. Maya then asks you what she should say. Answer "Have we forgotten something?". Polly doesn't answer. Karma laughs as if he expected this. Could he have retrained her? Press the first statement again.

Press the same statement. When you are given the choice again, say "What's your name?". Polly answers this time. The judge wants to know if this has anything to do with her owner's identity. Say "Of course". Present the DL-6 Case File to the court. Why? Check it first. Yogi had a fiancée named Polly Jenkins, who committed suicide after the incident. Karma wants to know which page has the proof. Choose "Suspect Data". Yogi might have named the parrot after her. Karma dismisses it as a coincidence. His granddaughter has a dog named "Phoenix". The judge agrees, and allows Polly to continue the testimony.

Press Polly on the that same statement once more. This time choose "What's the safe number?". Polly says "1228" once again. The judge asks if this has anything to do with the caretaker. Answer "Actually, it does". Karma wants proof. Present the DL-6 Case File once again. The judge asks which file relates to the number. Answer "Case Summary". The caretaker might have used the date, December 28 (12/28), to make the number for the safe. The judge is amazed about the two coincidences in one trial, so he calls the caretaker to the stand.

Exactly 15 years ago, Yanni Yogi was the suspect in the murder of Gregory Edgeworth, thanks to Misty Fey, but was found innocent. Before he was put on the stand, Robert Hammond told him to ''act'' like he was mentally unsound, because he didn't believe that Yogi was innocent. Although he won, Yogi lost everything — his job, his social standing, even his fiancée. He then moved to a nearby boat shop, and took the guise of a confused and forgetful old man.

The judge then adjourns court… and then an "Objection!"

Present the DL-6 Case File to Edgeworth on his sixth statement. Karma wants to know which file is being presented. Choose the "Victim Data". The murder weapon was fired twice. Karma objects, saying the second shot may have nothing to do with the case. When the judge asks you if it does, answer "Yes", and present the DL-6 Incident Photo. The judge asks you where the photo shows proof. You'll examine the photo. See the broken glass on the elevator above the body? Present it to the court. Someone other than Edgeworth might have shot through the window, because he was unconscious at the time. Karma objects, reminding Phoenix that the Case File says there was not a single clue in the elevator. Only one bullet was found.

Phoenix then runs out of ideas again, and Edgeworth finally confesses. The judge wants to give the verdict now. You have a choice to object to this or not, so choose "I have an objection". You still have no idea, though.

Suddenly, you hear a voice, telling you the second bullet does exist, and that it was stolen. Phoenix mentions the stolen bullet. The judge asks if there was a pressing need for the murderer to take the bullet. Say, "The murderer didn't need it". Phoenix hears the voice again, telling him to think crazy. Phoenix then tells the court that the murderer ran with it, because the bullet was stuck inside him, saying that when Edgeworth threw the pistol, the pistol discharged, sending the bullet through the elevator and sticking the murderer, who opened the elevator doors and fired the bullet into Gregory. Karma objects, saying no one else was injured in the incident. Maya then remembers something: Grossberg told you von Karma took a vacation due to the shock of the blow Gregory caused to his winning streak. Maya wonders if Karma took the vacation not due to shock, but to injury. If so, then could he be the murderer that had been shot?

The judge then asks you to name the possible murderer. Is it a good time to say it now? You are given a choice. Choose, "Say it now". Karma wants evidence that he took a vacation to heal his wound. Show the evidence. Present the Metal Detector. It is possible that the bullet may still be inside him. You try to test the Metal Detector on him, but Karma refuses. The judge then forces the issue, since this is the last day before the statute of limitations runs out and the case must be decided now. You find something in his right shoulder. It must be the bullet. Karma then states that the bullet was in there long before the incident, and wants proof that he is wrong. Present the DL-6 Bullet, your only piece of evidence from the DL-6 case, and everything will fall apart for Karma. He knows that if they pull the bullet out of shoulder to match it against the one that killed Gregory Edgeworth, they'll find both were fired from the same gun. von Karma lets out a piercing shriek, which Edgeworth recognizes as the scream he heard in the elevator so long ago.

Now you can sit back and enjoy the ending. At some point, you may want to present the DL-6 Bullet — you'll see why.
