Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Goodbyes/Day 3 - Trial

You instantly begin trial, and von Karma wants to end the trial in three minutes (don't worry, there's no time limit). Karma calls the caretaker to the stand. You still haven't found the caretaker's name, so when you have the choice, "Raise an objection". Karma adds that he didn't ask the name, as the caretaker has a bad long-term memory. He should be okay to remember what happened three days ago. Or so you thought.

The Caretaker's Testimony: The Night of the Murder
Just before your cross-examination begins, Karma says there's no need for it as there's only 10 seconds left. The judge asks if you'll agree. Of course you'll choose "Cross-examine". The judge sides with you, angering Karma. Alternatively, even if you "Don't cross-examine", Karma is about to have a heart attack, believing his three minutes is up after Maya presses you to check the witness' statements.

The Night of the Murder: Cross-examination
Press the caretaker on his sixth statement. He claims to have seen that man by his window. The judge wants the caretaker to add who it was to his statement. Karma laughs. What's he up to?
 * "That man was the defendant… he was saying, 'I can't believe he's dead.'"

Didn't the caretaker forget what he said yesterday? Press him on that statement. The caretaker yells at "Keith" that he really saw Edgeworth, before he falls to the ground. Looks like Karma lured you to your fall, and the whole court is staring. Didn't you prove that Edgeworth's right fingerprints on the gun, yet the murderer was shooting from his left? You are given an option, so choose "Raise an objection". Karma will object back, saying Edgeworth must have wiped off the fingerprints. The judge is lost. Raise an objection again. Karma says the evidence says it all, unless you have proof. Unfortunately, you ran out of ideas. Maya tries to reach Mia once more… again, no luck. Without any more evidence or objections, the judge sees no reason to continue.

Miles Edgeworth is found Guilty!

It's all over... or is it?
The judge adjourns court… and then a "Wait!".

It isn't Maya this time, if you recall yesterday's court, but Larry, who remembered just then that he heard a gunshot on the night of the murder. When Larry was listening to the caretaker's testimony, it didn't match with what he heard that night. Karma objects, as the verdict has already been announced, however the judge states that they must hear all witnesses to ensure an accurate verdict. He then calls a five-minute recess after withdrawing his Guilty verdict.

Recess
That was a very close one, perhaps too close. Maya asks Edgeworth why his fingerprints were on the gun. He explains that after Hammond fell into the water, he picked the pistol up without any thought.

Edgeworth then says that before this one, Karma had run nothing but perfect trials. The secret to his success is to have perfect witness' and perfect evidence. It seems that this case is the very first time Karma has seen anything unexpected. This is the first time in his career that he has let someone he hasn't talked to (in this case Larry) testify in court.

You're back in court and Larry goes on to the stand. This is your last hope of obtaining the not guilty verdict. Hopefully, he doesn't mess up.

The Night of the Murder: Cross-examination
Present Lotta's Deposition against Larry's sixth statement. Both Lotta and the caretaker heard two gunshots. Larry then admits that he missed the second gunshot, because he was listening to the radio on his headphones. Choose either statement. Choosing That's enough causes Phoenix to ask the Judge to continue to cross-examine Larry. Continue to cross-examine when you get the choice. Larry is allowed to give another testimony about his radio. Just what is he listening to?

Larry's Testimony: What Larry Heard
Larry was hearing it at high volume. Karma says that Larry was hearing a drum beating. You object to this. The DJ was talking, so no music was playing and Larry must have heard the gunshot. You would like to cross-examine this topic. The judge agrees.

What Larry Heard: Cross-examination
Press Larry on his fifth statement. The judge asks if we should care about what the DJ said, so choose "We should care" and the judge then allows Larry to add a statement.
 * "Just when she said 'Hey! it's almost Christmas!' I heard the gunshot!"

Present the Lake Photo or Lotta's Deposition on that statement. The DJ said, "It's almost Christmas!" when Larry heard the shot. This means it was still Christmas Eve when he heard it. In the other two testimonies, Lotta and the caretaker said it was after midnight when they heard the shots, meaning it was Christmas by then. Karma says that the witness was mistaken. Choose "Larry's right". Karma wants proof. But if you choose "Larry's wrong", he'll chastise you for not agreeing with his statement and force you to try again. Ouch!

Present the Second Lake Photo to the court. It reveals the photo was taken just before midnight. It looks like Larry did hear it. The photo was used to detect loud noises. The loud noise occurred on Christmas Eve. Karma objects, saying there is no proof that the loud noise was a gunshot. Present the Pistol to the court. The report shows that the Pistol actually fired three times rather than two. But this leaves the judge wondering what really happened. Karma asks Phoenix to answer why there were two shots 25 minutes apart.

Turning the case around
Phoenix thinks for a moment, and then finally figures something out. There was a shot 15 minutes after midnight, however, it turns out that Robert Hammond was already killed by then. Karma then asks if that wasn't the victim on the boat, then who was it? Answer, "Edgeworth and the murderer". Phoenix says that the murderer assumed the guise of the victim and met Edgeworth. It seems that the murderer called Edgeworth, and Edgeworth didn't recognize his face.

The judge asks you to say the murderer's name. Answer, "I don't know", because he hasn't told you. Phoenix assumes the caretaker is the murderer, and that the murder didn't take place on the lake. The judge asks you where it happened. You'll automatically examine the Gourd Lake Map. Present the Boat Shop (just below and left of the SUV). Karma wants proof. Phoenix tells Karma to recall Larry's testimony. As Larry starts to go home, he heard the gunshot despite wearing earphones, thus, the gunshot was nearby. So, it couldn't have been out on the lake. The judge tells Phoenix to make a summary of the night of the murder.

The caretaker called Hammond to his shop, and at 11:50 PM he shot Hammond dead, as Larry was passing by. He then took Hammond's coat and called Edgeworth. When the judge asks who fired the shot at 12:15 AM, out on the boat, answer "The boat shop caretaker". He shot twice, missing both times. Karma asks you why. Answer, "To create a witness". The caretaker fired one shot to ensure someone was looking out at the lake. He then shot the second time, and jumped in the lake to make it look like he was shot. He then swam back to his shop, put the coat back on the victim, and threw the body into the lake. The judge calls the bailiff to retrieve the caretaker.

While he waits, the judge calls Edgeworth to the stand. Edgeworth says he received a letter from "Hammond" to meet him at the lake. The guard comes back with rather shocking news: the caretaker is gone! Karma says a search is underway. The judge then says he cannot reach a verdict with the case in this state, and will extend the trial until tomorrow before adjourning the court for the day.

Thanks to Larry, Edgeworth is saved once again. Another close one. Edgeworth however, still feels it's far from over, as he had a nightmare about a crime he committed.

Note: If you're experimenting with other lines, yes it can be silly but it can also cause such a comedy of errors that forces the court to correct you. Well the lines you can experiment on is "If it's not the victim, who is it?", "Murderer's name?" and "Why the caretaker shoot twice?".

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Goodbyes/Day 3 - Investigation

In the office, you and Maya wonder what is troubling Edgeworth, when suddenly Larry bursts in to brag about his day in court. Talk to Larry:

 * Today's trial: You tell Larry he saved Edgeworth, but Larry isn't sure about Edgeworth's innocence. You put your trust in both of them — Larry and Edgeworth.
 * Edgeworth: You tell Maya he trusts Edgeworth so much because he and Larry saved him during a fourth-grade class trial. It's what made Phoenix want to become a defense attorney.
 * The class trial: Edgeworth's lunch money for the month was stolen during a PE class which Phoenix missed, making him the prime suspect.

In the trial, his classmates were all shouting at him, and even the teacher told you to apologize. However, Edgeworth objected, saying that you shouldn't have to apologize without evidence. The kids didn't believe him, but Larry intervened, scolding the class for picking on you, despite your innocence. The class finally quieted down and the teacher replaced Edgeworth's money herself. After that, the three of them were always friends.

 * Edgeworth's goals: You remind Maya that Edgeworth wanted to become a defense attorney, but then he suddenly transferred from school.

The transfer may have had something to do with the DL-6 Incident. Several years later, you found Edgeworth's name in the newspaper as a prosecutor. He wanted to find out why he had switched sides, so he decided to become a defense attorney, in order to meet Edgeworth again, since someday they would come face to face. You, Larry and Edgeworth all believe in each other. You saved Larry in your first trial and now it's time to do the same thing for Edgeworth.

Before you continue on the case, you put away the evidence you're not going to use in the court. Here's the following: Lotta's testimony, the second photograph, the compressor and the Gourdy article.

Move to the Gourd Lake Entrance.

Gourd Lake Park Entrance
Gumshoe praises you for having a call even closer than yesterday. He also tells you that the Gourd Lake Woods is off limits, because a park ranger got mad about the camp. Move to the Boat Rental Shop. Along the way, you'll see that the balloon isn't at the beach anymore — Larry must have missed work for the trial.

Boat Rental Shop
Here you'll hear a very familiar throat clearing. Looks like Grossberg is here. He tells you that he is just out for a walk. Grossberg tells you that if you find anything, just stop by his office. Move inside the Caretaker's Shack.

Caretaker's Shack
It looks like Polly is still here. Why would the caretaker leave her? Examine the safe (the green box on top of the television on the right). You'll open it (automatically), and you'll find an anonymous letter saying, "Get your revenge on Miles Edgeworth…" Revenge? It also describes everything you found out about in court. It looks like a very great clue. The Letter from the Safe will be added to the Court Record.

Move back to the Detention Center.

Detention Center Visitor's Room
Maya tells Edgeworth about the class trial but he doesn't remember. Talk to Edgeworth:

 * Why prosecute?: Edgeworth tells you his point of view of the DL-6 Incident. He suffered oxygen deprivation, just like Yanni Yogi. The defense found Yogi innocent due to lack of evidence. Edgeworth then hated defense attorneys, which changed his mind and so he became a prosecutor instead.
 * Prosecutor von Karma: Edgeworth says he learned everything he knows from Karma, similar to you and Mia. Edgeworth says Karma has run nothing but perfect trials, and every defendant he went against was found guilty, despite some being innocent. Even if he had a weakness, he would do everything to make it go away.

Present the Letter from the Safe to Edgeworth, who is shocked to see someone is taking revenge on him. It wasn't an innocent defendant he declared Guilty. The letter says, "Now is your time to get revenge on the two men who ruined your life." It probably means Edgeworth and Hammond. It also says "This is your last chance." Is it about the statute of limitations on the DL-6 Incident? Edgeworth thinks that if the caretaker got the letter and followed the instructions, he could be Yogi, the suspect of the DL-6 Incident.

 * Yanni Yogi: Edgeworth tells you that as the air thinned on that elevator, Yogi was calling for help. When he came to, he soon found out that Yogi was questioned, and with his mental problems was found innocent.

If so, then why would Yogi want revenge? Edgeworth then tells you about the nightmare he mentioned earlier in the day.

 * The nightmare: He's had the nightmare ever since the incident. As the air thinned in the elevator during the incident, Yogi assaulted Gregory for "stealing his air". Worried, Miles picked up the pistol in the elevator and threw it. Then he heard a scream, which ended the nightmare — the scream that has haunted him since.

He wonders if it was only a dream, or if it was real, then could he be the one who shot his father? He then finally brings himself to admit that he accidentally killed his father. Maya then realizes that someone else probably knows about the incident.

Move to the Grossberg Law Offices.

Grossberg Law Offices
You tell Grossberg about Miles' dream. Grossberg then states that if Yogi wanted revenge on Edgeworth by framing him for murder, then it's probably because Edgeworth framed Yogi for murder, so the dream must be real. Miles threw the gun to save his father, but the pistol killed him. Talk to Grossberg:

 * Gregory Edgeworth: It turns out Gregory was without peer, except for Mia. He had a case against Karma, and though he tried to call attention to Karma's suspect methods, he lost the trial.
 * The spirit medium: The police had Misty Fey call Gregory, who accused Yogi of killing him. Yogi was found innocent of course. Could he have been lying to protect his son?

Present the Letter from the Safe to Grossberg, who then tells you that Hammond was a very skilled attorney. However, he won trials for his own sake, not for his clients. It turns out he only trusted in his own ability. When he declared Yogi innocent, he only did it for himself. Although he was declared innocent, Yogi was ruined socially, giving him a motive against Hammond. Grossberg says you'll find out more soon.

He then claims he recognizes the handwriting on the letter. He asks you who you think it is. You have a choice. Choose "Manfred von Karma". Choosing "Miles Edgeworth" or "Yanni Yogi" can be silly but you can always try again. Grossberg then realizes you're right, as he used to see Karma's reports all the time. If Karma told Yogi what to do, then why would he frame Edgeworth?

 * Prosecutor von Karma: Grossberg tells you that he may have known about Edgeworth's accident. How? Grossberg then tells you von Karma didn't leave that day's trial "unscarred", and he may be trying to get revenge on Gregory Edgeworth by hurting his son.
 * Gregory vs. Manfred: Grossberg tells you that after losing the trial, Gregory accused von Karma of using "faulty evidence", and the accusation stood. It was the only penalty von Karma ever got throughout his career.

von Karma then took a vacation for several months afterwards — the only vacation he has ever taken throughout his career. It is highly likely that von Karma will bring up DL-6, and Edgeworth will probably plead Guilty for the murder of his father. Phoenix knows he didn't kill his father, and so should you. Grossberg says there's a file of the incident in the Criminal Affairs Dept., so move there.

Criminal Affairs Department
You won't meet Gumshoe here, as he is still looking for the caretaker. A policeman does let you check the Records Room as Karma is in there just now… uh oh. Quick! Move to the Records Room!

Police Department Records Room
Here, you'll notice an open file. Examine the drawer sticking out of the right side filing cabinets. It's labeled "Unsolved Cases: Evidence", and inside you'll see that the DL-6 file is empty. You then face Karma himself. Talk to him about all of the available topics.

 * Edgeworth: He tells you that Edgeworth is second rate like his father, but won't explain why he took Edgeworth under his wing and trained him.
 * Tomorrow's trial: You find out that von Karma will definitely bring up DL-6 tomorrow and that he's sure Edgeworth will indeed admit his guilt.

Present to Karma the Letter from the Safe. Karma had told Yogi to burn it after reading — looks like he wrote it all right. Before you can argue however, Karma knocks you and Maya out with a stun gun. Not before she tackles him before falling unconscious.

You both came around shortly afterwards and of course, Karma has run off with the letter and all of the DL-6 evidence as well. Maya loses her self-confidence completely. She couldn't call her sister, nor can she protect you from Karma. You then see something in her hand — the bullet that killed Gregory 15 years ago. When Maya jumped von Karma, she took the bullet from him. This could be your only hope for tomorrow's trial.

The DL-6 Bullet will be added to the Court Record. With this, you may win the case tomorrow and hopefully bring back Maya's self-esteem. With one piece of evidence in your hands and many others in Karma's, this is your defining moment as a unique rookie lawyer against a professional highly strung prosecutor.

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

Outside in the lobby, Maya shocks you, Edgeworth and Gumshoe because of the run into Manfred's stun gun yesterday. You tell her to go outside for a few minutes to lose that electric power. It seems stun guns and spirit mediums don't mix well together.

You come to court with only one small piece of evidence, but you receive some good news: they've found the caretaker. He is now headed to court. Yogi says he can't remember anything but it must be a lie.

Why would he want revenge if he couldn't remember Edgeworth wronging him? Does he even remember his own name? You'll have to make sure Yogi says something, and if he does, you may have a chance to put an end to the corrupt prosecutor's so-called perfect streak once and for all. This is it! The real final battle.

The judge is surprised that Von Karma, for once is following protocol compare to previous days in which he controls the court proceedings.

Von Karma calls the caretaker to the stand. He would like you to take your time with your cross-examination (he's planning something, isn't he?).

Why I Left Court: Cross-examination
Press him on his fourth and fifth statements. Von Karma objects of course. The judge asks you to tell the court this man's name. Answer "Yanni Yogi". The judge and von Karma want proof. You tell them to check the caretaker's fingerprints against Yogi's from 15 years ago. Von Karma, however, tells you that the caretaker has no fingerprints. According to 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 you have run out of ideas once again. Von Karma jokes that you should cross-examine the caretaker's parrot. You've seen that the parrot must know something about the case, so Phoenix takes von Karma up. Von 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.

Who Is Your Owner?: Cross-examination
This is optional, but you may 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. Von Karma laughs, as if he expected this. Could he have retrained her?

Press the first statement again. 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" and 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. Von 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. The judge agrees, and allows Polly to continue the testimony.

Press Polly on 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". Von 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.

When the judge asks for his name, the caretaker then finally breaks character and admits that he is in fact Yanni Yogi, and that he was the one who killed Hammond for one reason: revenge. He took his revenge on Hammond, but is yet to take it on Edgeworth, who is called to the stand after Yogi is arrested.

Miles Edgeworth is found...

What really happened
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.

15 years later, a letter arrived from an anonymous source (Manfred von Karma), that told Yogi he had a chance to get revenge. Yogi then did exactly what the letter instructed.

Yogi called Robert Hammond to his boat rental shop, and on Christmas Eve night, at 11:50 PM, he fired a gun at Hammond, killing him.

Outside at the same time, Larry Butz, who had just found his Steel Samurai balloon, which he'd lost the week prior due to his shenanigans, was just at the dock ready to go home when he heard a loud bang, over his loud earphones.

Yogi then proceeded to put Hammond's clothes on. He then met with Edgeworth (who didn't recognize Yogi/Hammond) and took him out on the lake in a boat. At 12:15 AM, just after midnight, Yogi fired the gun to ensure that there was a witness watching.

That witness was Lotta Hart, who was in fact at Gourd Lake to see a mythical creature named Gourdy, which was actually Larry's Steel Samurai balloon. Her sound-sensitive camera caught the moment of the shot, and the moment of the shot 25 minutes earlier, which was at the boat shop, while no one was in the lake.

Yogi then fired again, and dropped the gun, falling into the lake to make it look like he had been shot. He then proceeded to swim back to shore where he put the clothes back on Hammond's body, which he threw out into the water. Later, the body was found, and Edgeworth was put under arrest.

Is it over?
The judge then adjourns court… and then an "Objection!"

It isn't von Karma this time, but Edgeworth, who says he isn't entirely innocent. He criticizes Yogi's confession, saying he wasn't specific about the reason for the revenge. Maya asks you to stop him. Choose to object or let Edgeworth continue because either way, the judge will hear his testimony. Edgeworth explains about his nightmares and his guilt. von Karma wants to try Edgeworth for the DL-6 Incident, before the statute of limitations runs out today. The judge needs a five-minute recess to think about this.

Recess
Edgeworth apologizes, since you just expended a great deal of effort to get him off the hook on one trial today. You don't seem too concerned, however since you're busy reading through the Court Record getting prepared for the new trial. You can't let Edgeworth's nightmare get in the way. You still need to prove that Edgeworth didn't kill his dad.

Edgeworth's Testimony: The DL-6 Incident
You're not out of the woods yet. When Edgeworth told you about the dream yesterday, there was one detail that didn't quite fit. Find out what this detail is.

The DL-6 Incident: Cross-examination
Present the DL-6 Case File to Edgeworth on his sixth statement. Von Karma wants to know which file is being presented. Choose the "Victim Data" page. The murder weapon was fired twice. Von 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. Von Karma objects, reminding you that the Case File says there was not a single clue in the elevator. Only one bullet was found.

Alternatively, you can present the DL-6 Incident Photo first. Including the bullet hole on the elevator glass. Then when the Judge asks for proof, present DL-6 Case File, followed by "Victim Data".

You then run 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, as it doesn't really matter. You still have no idea, though.

Piecing the final puzzle together and nailing Manfred von Karma's crime
Suddenly, you hear a voice and a flash of Mia, telling you the second bullet does exist. You mention 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". You hear the voice and a flash of Mia again, telling him to think crazy. She tells you to think not "why is the bullet taken" but "why the bullet had to be taken". You tell the judge the bullet would've hit the murderer for instance. Then you realize the murderer would be outside the elevator that got hit by the bullet, thrown by Miles before collapsing. Von Karma denies it as coincidence. Maya then remembers something crazy. Grossberg says after Von karma dealt a blow to his perfect record, he took a several months vacation after that.

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". Von Karma wants evidence that he took a vacation to heal his wound. Choose to Show evidence and 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 von 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. Von 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 von Karma. He knows that if they pull the bullet out of his 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. Not to mention Von Karma bashing his head into the wall.

Miles Edgeworth is once again found...

The DL-6 Incident: What really happened
Gregory Edgeworth was defending the suspect in a murder case. The prosecutor was Manfred von Karma, who won the case. Gregory then spotted a flaw in von Karma's evidence, which resulted in von Karma receiving a penalty on his otherwise perfect record. Gregory then went into an elevator with his son, a young Miles Edgeworth, and the bailiff, Yanni Yogi.

Suddenly, a huge earthquake struck the courthouse, blowing the power and trapping Yogi, Gregory, and Miles in the elevator. The air slowly thinned, which eventually threw Yogi into a panic. Yogi then started fighting Gregory. The struggle caused Yogi's gun to fall at Miles' feet. Miles picked up the gun, and threw it at the fighting men. The gun then discharged and everyone passed out. Miles heard a terrible scream before losing consciousness.

The one who screamed was Manfred von Karma, who was attempting to open the elevator in the dark when he felt a terrible pain in his right shoulder. Apparently, he was shot by the gun Miles threw. The courthouse then regained electricity, and the elevator door opened in front of the injured von Karma, who saw two men and a child lying on the floor, unmoving. Seeing his rival Gregory helpless before him, von Karma picked up the gun and shot Gregory in the chest with it, sealing his fate. Karma then left with the bullet still in his right shoulder.

Police were baffled, so they used a spirit medium, Misty Fey, to channel Gregory in order to identify the murderer. Unfortunately, Gregory's spirit didn't know who killed him, since he was unconscious at the time, but he suspected Yogi did it. Even if he did suspect Miles, he didn't want his own son to be called a murderer, especially since he was still a child at the time. So he lied to the medium saying it was Yanni Yogi, who was eventually found innocent.

Seeing no one else in the elevator, Miles thought the one who screamed was his father, so he believed the gun he threw shot his father dead. He had nightmares replaying the event ever since.

Manfred von Karma meanwhile, had to take a seven-month break to recover from the bullet wound naturally. He didn't want the doctors to remove it, to avoid creating any witnesses. And so the bullet remained.

When Yogi was brought to trial he won, but the fake mental state he presented in court destroyed his life. He lost everything: his job, his money, even his fiancée committed suicide. With nowhere to go, he hid in the boat rental shop, where he lived on to be a confused and forgotten old man for years to come.

Meanwhile, Misty's involvement in the investigation was somehow leaked to the papers. Hearing that she falsely accused an innocent man of murder, she was considered a fraud, and was ridiculed by the nation. Unable to contain the suffering, Misty decided to run away, leaving the mountain and her family behind. She eventually disappeared, still missing to this very day.

Without any more suspects, and with the sudden disappearance of Yanni Yogi and Misty Fey, the case was dismissed and was known as the infamous DL-6 Incident from that day forward.

Epilogue
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.

That's the end of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for the Game Boy Advance version, but if you’re playing the Nintendo DS or Trilogy versions, the game continues with a fifth episode. On the Nintendo WiiWare version, prepare to pay 100 points for the final episode to see what happens to Phoenix on his next case.

If you want, you can go back to The First Turnabout and press the testimonies for a good laugh.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes

The first thing you see is a fly-through of the city in the middle of a thunderstorm. You then see the silhouette of someone about to stab. The figure freezes and the form splits into two. The two figures disappear through different windows. You then see a few random shots: a knife flying, a pot breaking, a strange-looking doll, and finally the silhouette of a woman stabbing someone.

This episode is not in the original Game Boy Advance version. You'll be investigating a murder with the new features the Nintendo DS has to offer, with the help of a replacement assistant, whose sister is the prime suspect in the murder.

Jake Marshall A wild west themed patrolman, or sheriff as he calls himself. He is calm and cares for his three cacti: Billy, Bogey, and Marylin. He really likes steak lunches.

Mike Meekins A hyperactive and clumsy police officer, who is always prepared — perhaps too prepared. He works at the Police Station and, despite his awkward nature, always seems to think the right way.

Neil Marshall A deceased prosecutor and brother of Jake Marshall.

Joe Darke A serial killer who was executed for his actions.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 1 - Investigation

It has been two months since your last case. Maya is still away at training and you haven't been taking any of the cases you've been offered. You come to your office one day only to have a girl barge in looking for Mia Fey's help. At first, she thinks you are Mia Fey, then a coffee boy until she realizes who you are by your name.

The girl wants someone to defend her sister in a murder case. You refuse at first, but after hearing the girl's concern for her sister, he recalls Maya's sorrow after seeing her sister's dead body for the first time. He finally accepts. Happy to hear it, the girl introduces herself as Ema Skye, a scientific investigator.

Ema is quite a character. The common traits is simple really: She writes ridiculous notes on her notepad and likes to talk science once you get to a crime scene.

Wright & Co. Law Offices
Talk to Ema:

 * Ema: She is a sixteen-year-old high school student — an eleventh-grader to be exact. Despite her young age, Ema is already ready to become a forensic scientist. She wants to use her skills to clear her sister's name.
 * The case: Ema "knows" her sister wouldn't stab someone in the back, so she decided to look for Mia to help her.
 * Sci. Investigator: Ema wants to use scientific investigation to clear her sister's name.
 * Relation to Mia: Ema knew about Mia, because she and her sister went to the same school, although they were in different grades at the time.

Ema loves her sister, although Lana has been acting kind of dark recently. Move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center
You'll hear a woman argue with a guard before sitting down facing away from you. It's Ema's sister, who didn't want Ema to visit her. She then faces you, apparently hearing about you from Mia. The woman introduces herself as Lana Skye, the Chief Prosecutor. Talk to Lana:

 * The case: She confesses to you that she is the murderer. She committed the crime at the Underground Parking Lot under the Prosecutor's Office at 5:15 PM, and a witness saw her with the body, which she put in her subordinate's car.
 * The victim: The victim was a detective at the Police Department, and the cause of death was loss of blood due to a single stab in the stomach. This means the police will be doing everything in their power to find her Guilty.
 * Lana: As Chief Prosecutor, Lana overlooks every case each prosecutor takes in the district. She puts her hand near her heart in shock of you not recognizing her. Ema then notices Lana's hand is bandaged up. Lana claims that she accidentally cut herself as she stabbed the victim.
 * Relation to Mia: Lana knew about Mia because Mia was intellectually attracted to her. Lana is extremely smart, so she helped Mia study to become a defense attorney in law school.

After the discussion, Lana decides that you have no chance of taking the case, but after being scolded by Ema for abandoning her own sister, she then decides to let you represent her. You automatically move to the Wright & Co. Law Offices.

Wright & Co. Law Offices (2)
Ema apologizes to you about Lana. Lana hasn't always been so cold. In fact, she used to be a happy, smiling person that everyone got along with. You then decide to go to the Underground Parking Lot at the Prosecutor's Office. Move there.

Prosecutor's Office Underground Parking Lot
You see the police still investigating there, then you meet a man with sheriff garments on, whom Ema recognizes. The sheriff warns you not to mess with their "gold strike", then leaves. Ema tells you that the man is actually a detective. Pan to the right, and examine the car, but the sheriff catches you. Ema wants to know to whom the car belongs. The sheriff then gives you the address for the "Prospector's Office 1202" (he means High Prosecutor's Office). The sheriff once again tells you not to touch the car.

You automatically pan left. Examine an object just below and left of the door. It's a wallet. Phoenix wants to give it to the police, but Ema wants to keep it, as she wants to show you a new scientific way of examining objects.

Checking objects:

Open a file in your Court Record, then choose "Check", and you should see a 3D rendering of the object, with three panels on the left, bottom, and right of the screen. The left allows you to zoom in and out on the objects if you have to look closer, the bottom and right ones rotate the object left and right, and up and down, respectively. If you see something interesting, examine it, like usual.

WiiWare Note: If this is your first time, here is the button layout: the Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons are for zooming in and out, the D-Pad for moving the cursor while the Wii Remote is down flat and to move the object around, hold the Wii Remote up (face buttons facing you) while you move the D-Pad. Thankfully, it's not too hard to figure this out. If you found something, examine it by pressing the A button.

Rotate the wallet so the golden seal is facing up and the end it's on is toward you. When you click the golden seal of the wallet, Ema will say you should examine it, and the "Examine" button will appear. Examine it and the wallet will open and you should see an ID card in it. Detective Bruce Goodman, I.D. #5842189. Goodman's ID will be added to the Court Record.

If you are playing the HD iOS port, open the Court Record and examine the back of your badge using the 3D object examination mechanics to get the The Back of My Badge achievement.

You then meet a young woman who is there selling lunches. The woman tells you that she is connected to the case, and so she must be the witness Lana mentioned. She says she saw the stabbing with her own two eyes and introduces herself as Angel Starr, the "Cough-up Queen". Talk to Angel:

If you're playing the HD iOS port, examine the stepladder for one of the five stepladder arguments.
 * The case: She has a very low opinion of prosecutors, considering them to be evil persecutors of the innocent. Yesterday, the day of the murder, they held a ceremony to give out the "King of Prosecutors" trophy. It turns out the car where the body was found belongs to the prosecutor that won the award.
 * What you witnessed: She witnessed Lana stab the victim with her knife, and she knows Lana by name. She also refers to the "rhythmic" stabbing, implying she stabbed more than once. How did she know Lana? Didn't Lana say the victim died of a single stab wound?
 * Angel: She is a lunch lady who comes everyday to the Prosecutor's Office to sell lunches from the Far East and visit her boyfriend, who works in the Security Room.
 * Prosecutor's Office: Angel reiterates her disgust of prosecutors, and Phoenix wonders if she's really just a lunch lady.

Move to the High Prosecutor's Office.

High Prosecutor's Office Room 1202
Here, you come across a trophy by the couch. You then hear a familiar voice. It's Edgeworth! Ema flips out upon seeing him. Her sister once introduced Edgeworth to her. Once you tell him about the case, Edgeworth tells you the car the body was hidden in was actually his! Talk to Edgeworth:

 * The case: Not only did he discover his car was the crime scene, but he also has to prove his superior's guilt. Remember Lana is the Chief Prosecutor.
 * Edgeworth: Edgeworth is having a hard time dealing with all the rumors around that he forges evidence and wins his cases with illegal methods. He considers the trophy to be a joke award, meant to humiliate him.

 * Lana Skye: He met Lana two years ago on a case and she took him under her wing. He's disappointed that it appears she now would try and frame him for murder, even going so far as to use his knife in the stabbing. Edgeworth's Knife is added to the Court Record.

Examine the trophy on the couch on the left side of the screen. Edgeworth reluctantly tells you it's the "King of Prosecutors" trophy, a broken shield with a large "K" on it, which will be added to your Court Record. Present it to Edgeworth. He had to skip work that day to go to a ceremony at the Police Station downtown.

Talk to Edgeworth again:

 * The day of the crime: He says every year, his office is cleaned up and evidence sorted and put away in what's called "evidence transferal". A ceremony is then held at the Police Department to award outstanding policemen and prosecutors.

Edgeworth got back to his office at 5:12 PM, and to prove it he shows you his Parking Stub, which will be added to your Court Record. The murder happened right after he got back to the Prosecutor's Office!

Suddenly, a police officer barges in saying he has information on a case. However, Edgeworth lost his cool and has the officer, Mike Meekins, leave. Unfortunately, this scenario can prove consequential in the upcoming trial with the police chief. Really take note of this to learn about evidence in a courtroom.

Edgeworth then tells you to go to the Police Department, where Meekins works. Move to the Police Dept. Entrance, accessible from the Underground Parking Lot.

Police Department Entrance
Ema will note that it took 30 minutes to get from the Prosecutor's Office to the Police Department, with very little traffic. Here, you'll see a dancing machine called the Blue Badger. You then see someone dancing with it. It's Gumshoe! Talk to Gumshoe:

 * The case: He tells you not to take Lana's case. She claims to have summoned the detective to the Prosecutor's Office and killed him when he got there.
 * The investigation: Gumshoe was kicked out of the Criminal Affairs building, where only the highest-ranking people are being let in.

The Chief of Police himself is leading the investigation and assigned Officer Marshall to the Underground Parking Lot. This is odd, because patrolmen like Marshall aren't usually in charge of crime scenes.

Examine The Blue Badger. Gumshoe says that the Chief designed it and Gumshoe built it himself. It's battery powered, and there's no switch, so it dances until the batteries die out. The Blue Badger Panel will be added to the Court Record. Present Goodman's ID to Gumshoe. Apparently, Gumshoe drops his ID card a lot. Gumshoe then realizes that Goodman is in fact the victim in the case! Talk to Gumshoe again:

 * Bruce Goodman: Goodman was a detective, just like Gumshoe. Lana must have called Goodman to her office.

Present the Prosecutor Trophy to Gumshoe. Gumshoe was very proud of Edgeworth when he received it. Present Edgeworth's Knife or the Parking Stub. Gumshoe wonders why someone would use Edgeworth's knife as a weapon and hide the body in his car? Did he or she hold a grudge against him?

 * Rumors at law: Gumshoe tells you that while there have been rumors about Edgeworth's underhanded dealings, since the last case where he was accused of murder, it's gotten even worse. In the Trilogy version, the topic is replaced as Edgeworth's troubles.

Now there are rumors Edgeworth is only taking this case to get the Chief Prosecutor position. After discussing this, Gumshoe mentions that officer Jake Marshall has been appointed by the Chief of Police to investigate. Gumshoe gives you a Letter of Introduction for you to get permission to access to the crime scene. It will be added to your Court Record.

If Gumshoe doesn't give you the Letter of Introduction, you must first examine the Blue Badger in the background. It will be added to the Court Record.

Move to the Underground Parking Lot.

Prosecutor's Office Underground Parking Lot (2)
You'll see Angel, who apparently has another boyfriend in Criminal Affairs, leaving the place, and then you'll see Marshall. Present the Letter of Introduction to him. Marshall then lets you in. The Letter of Introduction will be removed from the Court Record. Talk to Marshall:

 * The victim: He tells you that Goodman, the victim, was stabbed according to the Autopsy Report, which will be added to the Court Record.

Marshall then tells you something surprising: Goodman and Lana barely knew each other. He tells you that the only time they met was a case they worked on together two years ago. It doesn't seem like there's a motive there.

 * Marshall: Marshall is actually a patrolman, not a detective. He used to be a detective until two years ago. Why is Marshall watching over the investigation, and not Gumshoe?

Marshall tells you that Gumshoe being kicked out of the Department was ordered by the Chief of Police, because Gumshoe loved working with Edgeworth.

After the discussion, pan to the right, and examine an object lying just left of Edgeworth's car. It looks like someone's cell phone. You have a choice whether to check it out or not. Say "Check it out", and you automatically start checking it.

Examine the blue button on one of the phone's sides. You'll open the cellphone. There is a blue redial button in there. Examine that one, and then a phone will start sounding the Steel Samurai ringtone. Sound familiar? Marshall then comes over wondering what's going on. He tells you that the phone belongs to Lana Skye herself, and that she was apparently calling someone as the murder occurred. However, it is not known who she called. You tell Marshall that it was his own phone ringing from someone calling the wrong number. The Cell Phone will be added to the Court Record.

Examine the open trunk of Edgeworth's car. You'll discover a note saying "6-7S 12/2" on stationery with Goodman's name on it. Goodman's Note will be added into the Court Record. Talk to Marshall again:

 * Lana Skye: He tells you that Edgeworth is the "prospector" (prosecutor) for this case. Ema is upset that Marshall doesn't seem to care about her sister since they seem to have some sort of relationship.
 * Office atmosphere: Edgeworth was an unbeatable attorney until he met you. For two years, Edgeworth faced rumors that he forged evidence to keep his perfect winning streak. Lana helped protect Edgeworth from the rumors.

She may be hiding something. Ema says you have enough clues for today. Phoenix then tells Ema that it wasn't his phone that rang earlier, but hers. Ema confesses that it was her Lana called, but her sister almost immediately hung up.

Looks like you're done for today, but this will be a tough one since your client is working against you.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 2 - Trial Former

This trial will be unlike all of the previous ones: from here on, only Ema can help you, as there won't be a Fey to help you out… or will there? Also, with Gumshoe out of the way, you're going to have to get used to the new players in this courtroom. It's not going to be pretty.

In the courtroom
Edgeworth calls Angel Starr to the stand. Usually, they call a detective, but according to Edgeworth, Angel was – until two years ago – a "first rate" homicide detective. Angel proceeds with describing the crime.

 * The parking lot at the Prosecutor's Office is divided into two blocks.
 * A Block is for the Prosecutor's Office personnel.
 * B Block is for visitors and clients.
 * A chain divider separates the two blocks.
 * The crime took place by a car in the back of A Block, in the car's trunk.
 * The killer stabbed the victim with a knife and went to drive the body out of the garage.

The Parking Lot Floor Plans will be added to the Court Record. Angel says she witnessed the very moment of the crime — things are looking grim for you already.

Witness's Account: Cross-examination
Press Angel's first and second statements. Angel tells you that the reason she hates prosecutors is that they fired her. She was bringing a lunchbox to her boyfriend in the security guard room, which is above A Block, overlooking the whole lot from its glass front window. Now press the fourth statement. Because she was a visitor, she had to park in B Block, which is where she witnessed the crime — from thirty feet away. Angel then presents a photograph, taken at the moment of the crime, showing a person that is certainly Lana. The Crime Photo will be added to your Court Record.

Present the Crime Photo on Angel's fifth or sixth statement. It doesn't look like she was holding a knife. However, Edgeworth objects, saying Angel actually took the photo the moment after the crime, because blood was already splattered on her coat. Edgeworth sees no problem with this. You have a choice to object or accept. Choose "Objection!". Didn't Angel say she took the picture at the moment of the murder? She takes it lightly, however and admits she was a little off. Angel then says Lana committed the murder in a premeditated way. As you can see in the Crime Photo, Lana was wearing rubber, surgical gloves. Why would she be wearing them if she didn't know she'd be handling a bloody corpse? The judge then demands that Angel add that into her testimony.
 * The murder was planned! The rubber gloves prove it!

Present Edgeworth's Knife on that statement. Lana didn't prepare the most important thing: the murder weapon. It's hard to believe that the murder could be premeditated when she used a knife that just happened to be in Edgeworth's trunk. If she had planned it, would she really have forgotten to bring the murder weapon? Edgeworth doesn't seem to care though — he will accept a Guilty verdict whether Lana planned the murder or not. Angel still insists that the act was premeditated, and seems to have more cause for this deduction. The judge then asks her for a new testimony to bring her reasoning to light.

Angel's Deduction: Cross-examination
Present Goodman's Autopsy Report against Angel's fourth statement. It says that Goodman was stabbed once. Angel thought that Lana stabbed Goodman more than once, because she mistook something that looked like blood at her breast. The judge has Angel testify as to what she thought looked like blood.
 * Her red muffler looked like blood to me… that's how ghastly the whole scene was.

Present the Crime Photo on that statement. Edgeworth states that according to the photo, Lana wasn't wearing a muffler. Angel swore she saw something red. The judge has Angel testify to her mistake. Finally, you're making progress. But at the same time, Edgeworth is stealing your thunder!

Angel's Testimony: Apprehending the Suspect
As Angel and Lana were struggling, Lana knocked over an oil drum. You begin the cross-examination.

Apprehending the Suspect: Cross-examination
Press Angel's second statement. Angel says she was 30 feet away from her before Lana was arrested. Press her further. Angel earlier claimed to have witnessed the murder from the B Block. There was a chain link fence separating the two parking blocks. Angel says she climbed over the 9-foot fence to get to Lana. How could she do that with so little time?

Press on Angel's third statement. Angel heard Lana say the word "muffler" on her phone. Ask further. Lana attempted to use the emergency phone at first, but it was out of order. The Cell Phone is updated in the Court Record. Angel adds a testimony about the emergency phone.
 * She gave up trying to use the phone on the wall and just used her cell phone!

3DS Trilogy: The text is different on this statement. it's replaced as "I saw it all -- how she tried the phone on the wall but had to use her cell instead".

If you press her on this statement, the parking lot Floor Plans will appear, where she will detail what she saw and where. If Angel had witnessed the crime from where she claims she was, she would not have seen Lana use the phone, because of the partition that was in the way.

Angel has to be lying, so present the Parking Lot Floor Plans on this statement. Edgeworth wants to know what she is lying about. Say "Where she saw it". If Angel saw Lana use the phone, she might have seen it in a different location. The judge wants to know where. You examine the Floor Plans. Present where it's labeled "Security Room". Earlier Angel said that she was selling a lunch to one of her "boyfriends" there. That must be where she saw the crime.

Ema then notices something odd. Why would Angel lie? Edgeworth presents the Crime Photo to remind you that Angel took the picture from Block B. The judge wants to know what Angel is lying about and tells Phoenix to do so. Ema then recalls what you know so far. Angel says that she saw the crime from the Security Room, but she lied about seeing it from Block B. Phoenix wonders what would change by that. Choose the "Distance to the crime". Though the Security Room was also about 30 feet away from the crime, what matters is how long it took to reach the suspect. As you know from the crime scene, the door to A Block was locked, so Angel had to take the long way around to B Block. It took Angel five minutes to get there. Five minutes?! Raise an objection at this point. If it took five minutes for Angel to reach the crime, Lana would have had a chance to run. Looks like you were able to take advantage of Angel's slip up.

The judge tries to adjourn court, but Angel persists, as she has decisive evidence. The judge, with some temptation from Angel, has her testify about this new evidence.

Angel's Testimony: Decisive Evidence
The reason Angel didn't present it at first is that she didn't trust Edgeworth, who refuses to accept the evidence, as it doesn't conform to the first rule of evidence law: no evidence shall be shown without the approval of the Police Department. Angel says that just today, behind Edgeworth's back, she took the evidence to forensics for blood testing, and afterwards got permission from the Police Department to submit it as evidence. The Victim's Shoe is added to the Court Record. You now start cross-examining.

Decisive Evidence: Cross-examination
Press Angel's fifth statement. Ema wants to know if there is a problem. Say "There's a problem". You automatically check the Shoe. Rotate it so you can see the bottom. There is blood there, so present it. Edgeworth wants you to show the contradiction. Present the Crime Photo. If there was blood, then why weren't there any footprints? Edgeworth then reminds you what Angel said about apprehending the suspect. Lana knocked over an oil drum during the struggle. The oil drum was actually full of water, so Lana used it to wash away the footprints. This proves that Lana tried to hide the evidence.

Just by that, the judge decides to declare the verdict. You don't know what to do, and Ema says that since Angel is working on the prosecutor's side, she could be lying. Angel hears this and presents another photo of the crime: the body itself is in the trunk of the car. You also see that the asphalt around the car is wet. This picture shows that the shoe was indeed the victim's, and that the evidence of the footprints had been washed away, thus erasing all doubt from the court.

Now you and Ema have nothing left to save Lana… or have you? You hear a voice, Mia's voice, telling you not to give up. Phoenix stops the court's verdict and presents the latest photograph. You automatically examine the Photo. Look closely, and you will see something in the car's muffler. Present this to the court. Does "muffler" sound familiar? When given the chance, present Lana's Cell Phone. Earlier, Angel testified that Lana mentioned "muffler" in her very brief phone call. She could have been referring to the cloth inside the car's muffler. Thus, you finally give the judge a reason to continue the case. He calls a half hour recess ("it's lunchtime, after all.")

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 2 - Trial Latter

Recess
At the Defendant's Lobby, you'll have a visitor: Jake Marshall. You learn from him that Lana was indeed wearing a red muffler (scarf) that day.

In the courtroom
The judge resumes the case. You see Edgeworth looking somewhat shocked and very angry, saying "It can't be…". You then see someone you haven't met take the stand. After some chatter, the person is revealed to be the district Chief of Police, Damon Gant. Well, he likes to pause for a few seconds. He's brought Lana's red muffler to court, and Gant says it was found in "Worthy's" (Edgeworth's) car muffler.

Gant also shows you a switchblade knife. Edgeworth scolds Gant because his department hadn't found this evidence yet, but Gant reminds Edgeworth that as the lead prosecutor in the case, he is responsible for the investigation. The judge accepts the knife into evidence, but wants you to open it for him first.

Examine the switch (near the gold-capped end), and the blade will open. You'll find something shocking: the tip of the blade is broken and it looks like there's blood on the edge. The Switchblade Knife will be added to the Court Record. If you examine the tag on the Switchblade Knife, you'll find that it bears the letters "SL-9." Could this be another case file code, like DL-6? At Edgeworth's request, the judge has Gant testify about the rift between the Police Department and the Prosecutor's Office, as well as about the Switchblade Knife.

Gant's Testimony: Department in Disorder
Scary coincidence indeed: Gant is saying another detective was killed at 5:15 PM — exactly the same time when Goodman was killed, but this time at the Police Department!

Department in Disorder: Cross-examination
If you look through the Court Record, you'll see a note found with the victim that says "6-7S" on it. However, if you read it upside-down, you'll find it says "SL-9" — the same as the tag on the Switchblade Knife. This is the connection between the knife and Goodman! Present Goodman's Note on Gant's second statement. Goodman's Note will be updated (turned upside down) in the Court Record. Gant adds this to his testimony.
 * This knife was evidence in a case. It was stolen from the Department's evidence room.

If you press on that statement, (this is not required), you'll find out the knife was stolen on the day of the murder, and happens to be the murder weapon from a case long-solved. Press Gant's fourth statement (3rd statement on the Switch, PS4 and Xbox Trilogy). Who killed the detective at the Police Department? Gant says they arrested the suspect just now. Gant allows you to ask another question. You have a choice, so pick "Where the victim was found". Gant can't say, but he does tell you the murder took place in the Evidence Room. That's where he said the broken knife was stolen from!

Press Gant's fifth statement (6th on the Switch Trilogy). It's already proven that the two cases are indeed connected, but now they're also connected by the Evidence Room. Gant decides he'll give some more information, unofficially.
 * I'll cooperate, but I can't reveal the name of the victim in the Department, okay?

Press on that statement. Gant decides you can ask him a question for a hint. Ask about "The victim's ID number". Gant reveals the ID number, #5842189. Is this familiar to you? You have a choice, choose "This tells me something!". Present Goodman's ID, but look at the description first — it says the number is #5842189! If that's true, then Goodman himself might have been killed at the Police Department — but Angel saw Lana stab him at the Prosecutor's Office!

Does this mean that Goodman was killed at two different places at the same time? Edgeworth asks Gant why he didn't know this already. Gant tells him he should already know this information, since they sent someone over with the report yesterday. That was officer Meekins, who was kicked out by Edgeworth while you were over there yesterday.

Gant tells Edgeworth that it's his fault for not knowing the connection in the first place, and making "Wrighto" (Phoenix) prove it. As demonstrated, rule 2 is that unregistered evidence must be relevant to the case of trial. Edgeworth apologizes for the confusion and asks for one more day of investigation. The judge permits this and adjourns court for the day.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 2 - Investigation

Ema is confused so you tell her the situation in which detective Goodman has been killed in both the Underground Parking Lot and the Police Station Evidence Room. So you and Ema agree to go to the Underground Parking Lot to re-examine the crime scene, scientifically. You automatically go to the next area.

Prosecutor's Office Underground Parking Lot
After recalling the oil drum, Ema introduces you to Luminol testing fluid. It's a substance that can trace blood that has been washed away. However, you can only see it with Ema's glasses. She wants you to test it out.

 * Finding blood traces

Highlight the Luminol testing fluid and spray it. Once the bottom screen turns red (or once you're viewing from Ema's glasses), spray anywhere on the screen until you see something turn blue. That blue glow is a blood trace. Once exposed, the screen will focus on it.

WiiWare Note: The controls here are simpler to use to spray important objects. All you have to do is point the Wii Remote} and check the object cursor is on the screen. Make sure the sensor bar can sense the Wii Remote without any trouble. Find a spot spray with the A button about a few times until it appears. Press the A button again to confirm it.

Spray a few times on the ground just left of the car, and you'll see a bloodstain. Ema notices something strange about it. Say it's "The amount of blood". If Lana and Goodman were fighting, wouldn't there be more blood on the ground? Looks like a clue. Ema will mark the blood stain on the floor plan. The Luminol Testing Fluid is added to the Court Record. It could be a useful tool for this case, but before you can continue, you face Angel, who just now heard everything. Talk to Angel:

 * Today's trial: Angel confesses that she lied to make her story more convincing, but she still swears that she saw Lana stab Goodman.
 * Detective Starr: Angel was once a detective who had every criminal "cough it up" (confess), and was since then was known as the Cough-up Queen. But two years ago Angel was fired, because of a case known as the "SL-9 Incident".

SL-9? Present Goodman's Note or the Switchblade Knife. Angel reveals that Goodman was the head detective on the SL-9 case. She tells you that the Switchblade Knife that says SL-9 on it was due for transferral the very day Goodman died. She somehow knew that the case wasn't over. Present Goodman's ID. Angel, until two years ago, had one of those. She doesn't believe that Goodman was also killed at the Evidence Room. Present the Crime Photo. Angel regrets getting flustered and waiting until she got down to the crime scene to snap the photo. She lied about the time it took her because she'd had her testimony disregarded before. Talk to her again:

 * SL9 Incident: Angel was involved in a large case. The investigators were very desperate for decisive evidence, but in the end, they solved the case cleanly.

The criminal was caught and was executed. However, they didn't find any decisive evidence, but instead, her higher-ups fabricated their own. Several months afterward, some investigators were demoted to patrolmen, while others were fired. Angel was one of the fired ones, and Jake Marshall was one of the demoted ones.

 * Detective Marshall: She and Detective Marshall weren't satisfied with how the SL-9 case ended and are still secretly investigating it to this day.

It turns out that the real reason Angel sells lunches, is to give her access to the Prosecutor's Office and the Police Department, where her "boyfriends" can help her investigate. Because you seem to be serious about investigating SL-9, she gives you a Steak Lunch to give to someone that might help you. It will be added to the Court Record.

Ema mentions that when Jake Marshall was still a detective, he was very nice to Lana. But since then, he's been very cold to her. You should take the Lunch to Marshall. Move to the Police Dept. Entrance, then to the Guard Station.

Evidence Room Entrance Guard Station
You'll see a wild west themed room, and the entrance to the Evidence Room. Examine the door. It's locked; you probably need someone's permission first. Move back to the Police Dept. Entrance.

While you are here, you can spray luminol on the top of the tall cactus to reveal a bloodstain. Doing this in the HD iOS port unlocks the On Billy's Head!? achievement.

Police Department Entrance
Here you'll meet Gumshoe, who tells you that you should talk to the suspect in the Evidence Room stabbing case. Move to the Detention Center, accessible from the Wright & Co. Law Offices.

Detention Center Visitor's Room
You'll meet someone unexpected as the perpetrator: Officer Meekins. Talk to Meekins (watch out for his megaphone!):

 * The day of the crime: He went to the Evidence Room that day, but didn't see Officer Marshall, who is the usual guard outside. When he glanced at the security room monitor, he saw a suspicious person in the Evidence Room. Ema asks about Meekins' bandaged hand. It's just like Lana's.
 * The victim: Officer Meekins didn't know Goodman, in fact, he doesn't know any detectives. So he wouldn't recognize any of them if he saw them.
 * Bandaged hand: Meekins says the strange detective brandished a knife, then knocked him out. When he woke up his hand was cut and the other man was gone.

Present Goodman's ID. It will jog Meekins' memory.

 * Crime details: He didn't recognize the man, so he asked for his ID card. Instead of an ID card, the man pulled out a knife. Meekins was knocked out, and woke at the Detention Center.
 * Reason for arrest: Ema recalls the events: Meekins met a man that he didn't know, and that man didn't show his ID Card, so you don't know if that was Goodman or not.

However, when he tried to tell someone that, they told him that Goodman was definitely in the Evidence Room at that time. Meekins then explains that a videotape caught the act, and that's why he was arrested for the crime.

Looks like you'll need to investigate the scene further. Move to the Criminal Affairs Dept.

Police Department Criminal Affairs
Here you'll see Chief Gant, who is informed that the detectives have been searching something, but haven't found anything. Gant then notices you. Talk to Gant:

 * Edgeworth: Due to the mistakes of his that came out during the trial, Edgeworth is being questioned by an inquiry committee. Depending on the outcome, he could be in serious trouble.
 * Evidence room incident: He can't say anything about the contradiction of the two locations in which Goodman was stabbed. He does give you a hint that he has a hard time keeping the Chief of Detectives's mouth shut though.

After talking, examine the Chief of Detectives (the guy sitting at the desk in the middle of the back wall). He tells you that Gant told him to check Goodman's desk. They found nothing, except for a Lost Item Report that was half complete, with the date February 21 — the same date as the murder. Goodman's Lost Item Report will be added to your Court Record.

You need to investigate the Evidence Room, but you need Gant's permission first. Talk to Gant again.

 * Permission granted: He will give you a guest ID card, which will get you through the card reader. Gant will then leave.

Move back to the Security Guard Office.

Evidence Room Entrance Guard Station (2)
Examine the entrance to the Evidence Room. You use the card, but it still won't open, as the card reader is off. The security guard turned it off. You then meet the security guard, Jake Marshall, who will turn it back on for you. You need to ask him something, but he won't talk until you present the Steak Lunch to him. The Steak Lunch will be removed from the Court Record. Talk to Marshall:

 * Guard office: Meekins said Marshall wasn't in his office at the time of the murder. Marshall says it's true, and that since he got demoted he's lost some of the fire for his job. Besides, there's no need for a person to be here with all the newfangled machines they have.
 * Marshall: He's still investigating the SL-9 case, because although it's closed on the books, something stinks about the whole thing. However, the case became officially dead two days ago (the day of the murder) due to all the SL-9 evidence being transferred.
 * Security system: Marshall doesn't really like machines, but he understands the easy ones like the security cameras and the ID card reader. If nothing happens, the tapes are automatically erased every few hours. Meekins and Goodman may be on one of those tapes. Marshall then shows you a record of the card reader from the day of the murder. You see a familiar ID number on it, but Marshall takes the list away before you can look further.
 * Transferal: Evidence from solved cases is kept for two years, in case someone needs to re-investigate something. Every year in February, evidence older than two years gets moved down to the vault under the Police Station. After that, a case is closed forever. Dead.

Present Goodman's ID to Marshall. Marshall will show you the ID Card Record again. Goodman used his ID Card to open the entrance one minute before the stabbing! Why did Goodman point the knife at Meekins rather than showing his ID card? Marshall then gives you the ID Card Record, which will be added into the Court Record. Finally, move to the Evidence Room.

Evidence Room Sector Three
In here, you'll unexpectedly find Gumshoe, who is in charge of the investigation for today. Ema easily mistakes Gumshoe for a ghost and slaps him! He gives you the Evidence Room Floorplans, which will be added to the Court Record. Talk to Gumshoe:

 * Boss for a day: If Gumshoe is in charge, then why is he alone? His team is preparing for the trial tomorrow, so it looks like he's actually been kicked out again.
 * Edgeworth: Gumshoe mentions that Edgeworth is getting questioned by the inquiry committee. He seems to think it's fate, due to Edgeworth's involvement in the SL-9 Incident.
 * Evidence safe: All the detectives get lockers that only they can open, by using fingerprint identification. The technology is fairly new, so there are people on the force that don't even know about them.

The Evidence Locker will be added to the Court Record. Present Goodman's Note or the Switchblade Knife to Gumshoe. The SL-9 Incident was Edgeworth's first big case. Gumshoe says there may be loose ends concerning the incident. Talk to Gumshoe further:

 * SL9 Incident: The criminal was a serial killer, and Edgeworth built his case around the killer's one mistake. That case put him in the spotlight, and that's when the rumors about him forging evidence began.

The transferal from a couple days ago should have put the whole thing to rest by getting rid of all the evidence. Gumshoe tells you that Goodman was the head detective on the SL-9 Incident. Did Goodman take the Switchblade Knife out of the evidence locker himself?

Present the ID Card Record. Gumshoe takes a look at it and becomes shocked. The second number on the list is Edgeworth's! The ID Card Record will be updated in the Court Record.

Pan right and examine the glove hanging on the police tape. It's another piece of evidence from SL-9. The Rubber Glove will be added to the Court Record. Examine the area below Goodman's locker. There are pieces of something big on the ground. Choose "Check it out closer", and you will have to put the pieces together.

 * Putting together pieces

When you have to fix stuff like a jar, or a vase, you just have to put it back together. You have to choose what you think is the right fragment, rotate it around to find a perfect match, and choose "Combine". If it matches, the object will rotate for you to find the next missing fragment. If you get all the fragments put in, you're finished.

WiiWare controls: Left and Right on the D-Pad change pieces from 1 to 8. Up and Down on the D-Pad rotate a piece. Lastly, the A or Minus (-) buttons piece together.

Here is the order in which the pieces should be put back together. Make sure you rotate it to fit into that space where the lines connect.
 * 1) Fragment No. 5
 * 2) Fragment No. 4
 * 3) Fragment No. 6
 * 4) Fragment No. 1
 * 5) Fragment No. 8
 * 6) Fragment No. 3
 * 7) Fragment No. 2
 * 8) Fragment No. 7

The object is almost complete except one piece is missing. It looks like an Unstable Jar, which will be added to the Court Record. Finish examining the room before this next part.

To take out the Luminol and starting spraying the scene. Go to Court Record and choose Spray on Luminol Testing Fluid. You'll automatically use your red glasses as an indication that you're using this mode. Go out when you finish.

Note on WiiWare version: When you're done talking or examining the room, make sure you have a menu: Examine, Move, Talk and Present. Press the Plus (+) button to get into the Court Record, choose Luminol Testing Fluid, then press the Minus (-) button to spray.

Pan left and start spray with the Luminol testing fluid on the upper left locker with a piece of cloth sticking out. It's blood! Someone wiped part of it off. Pan right and spray the upper right locker to the left of the crime scene. It's more blood! And it looks like someone tried to wipe it off as well.

Gumshoe is shocked, as it is on his locker. Ema adds that to the Floor Plans. Spray on what looks like the crime scene. There's a lot of blood on there. Something really happened here. Ema will mark all the spots on the Floor Plans. Gumshoe will then leave to give Edgeworth his report for the day, as he is just getting out of the inquiry committee now. Looks like it's time to talk to Edgeworth. Move to the High Prosecutor's Office.

High Prosecutor's Office Room 1202
You'll meet the bellboy (from the Turnabout Sisters case), and he will leave you to Edgeworth. The flyer paper with the French restaurant in the back will play a role in the third of this series "Trials and Tribulations". Talk to Edgeworth:

 * Inquiry committee: Luckily, the inquiry committee decided not to consider what happened as concealing evidence, but as a communications error. They still warned Edgeworth that he was lucky, as they've done many times since the SL-9 case — the first time he was accused of dealing in bad evidence.
 * Tomorrow's trial: He is still the lead prosecutor, but the inquiry committee gave the Police Department control of the investigation. Police Chief Gant is now leading the investigation.

Present to Edgeworth the ID Card Record. Edgeworth was asked to go to the Evidence Room by Chief Gant, who wanted a piece of evidence from an old case. Gant told Edgeworth to keep it here in his office. The case was obviously already solved, since the evidence was filed in the Evidence Room, and Edgeworth assures you that the case has nothing to do with the current one. The Screwdriver will be added to the Court Record.

Present Goodman's Note or the Switchblade Knife to Edgeworth. Then talk to him:

 * Allegations of forgery: The one who led the SL-9 case was Damon Gant. Edgeworth claims he didn't touch the evidence.

Edgeworth heard from Lana that you were scientifically investigating the case, so he gives you some aluminum powder, for taking fingerprints. The Fingerprinting Set and fingerprint files for everyone involved in the case will be received. Move back to the Evidence Room, where you found some handprints, to try them out.

You can spray luminol in front of Edgeworth's desk to find a bloodstain there.

Evidence Room Sector Three (2)
You decide to try out the fingerprint set on Gumshoe's locker.

 * Fingerprinting

Choose the finger you want to examine. When a grid-like background takes over the touch screen, first tap around the screen to sprinkle the aluminum powder everywhere. Then, once you think you've spread enough powder, blow into the microphone to blow off the contents, revealing the fingerprint. Last, you get to pick whose fingerprints they are in the fingerprint files. If it matches, you'll know that person has been in the room. If not, try another.

Using the microphone: There are many ways of doing it depending on the model of the handheld. On the NDS, 3DS, and 3DSxl, you need to blow at the bottom of the handheld where MIC is labeled. On the 2DS and 2DSxl, you blow the MIC in the middle between the top screen and the bottom screen. The other method is buying yourself a headphone with a MIC attached to it.

Using the Wii Remote: Use the D-Pad to move around and press the A button when Examine appears. Then spread powder on the screen, point the Wii Remote on the screen and press the A button (or rapidly to cover the whole screen). Finally, shake the Wii Remote to blow the powder away. If it's not confirmed, continue spreading powder and blowing it until you see a clear print. To complete it, you'll automatically go to the profile and present it with the Minus (-) button.

In the HD iOS release: Swipe from the bottom of the green fingerprinting field to the top of the field to blow the excess powder away.

On the Steam version: All you have to do is press enter to apply the powder and press E to blow.

In this case, you'll find nothing. Someone must've been wearing a glove here. Don't give up yet, as there's a faint print just below and to the left of the bloody handprint. Examine it. This time you find a clear fingerprint. You then pick its owner. In this case, pick "Dick Gumshoe" as it's his locker. You then remember finding another print at the other locker. Pan left, and examine the locker with the cloth. The bloody part was washed away, so the prints could be washed away as well, so you have to find a print that is not washed away.

Examine a spot just to the left of the middle finger. After blowing it off, you pick its owner. After a few tries, you'll find that "Jake Marshall" matches. Marshall? What was he doing here? Why was there a print next to a bloody print? Did he have blood on his hand and try to wash it off? Marshall's Prints will be added to the Court Record.

Phoenix decides to call it a day, as you may have found your decisive evidence.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 3 - Trial Former

Looks like this case now turns to the police department in the evidence room. In the defendant's lobby, Lana will tell you that despite being questioned by the police, everyone is still clueless about this case. You tell her that Jake Marshall might be behind this since you found his bloody fingerprints in the Evidence Room, but Lana is not sure about this.

Once the trial begins, Edgeworth states that it takes 30 minutes to get from the Police Station to the Prosecutor's Office and yet Goodman disappeared from the former and was found at the latter doing both at 5:15 PM. Edgeworth promises to bring accurate evidence to court. He calls Mike Meekins to the stand.

Meekins promptly admits to the crime. However, Edgeworth still demands that Meekins give the report about the murder. Get ready for an earful testimony (regarding the megaphone)!

Crime Report, Sir!: Cross-examination
Press all of Meekins' statements. Meekins was assigned to the Blue Badger (the dancing contraption in front of the Police Department) to make sure it wasn't broken during the evidence transferrals. After the award ceremony (where Edgeworth got his Prosecutor Trophy) there were a lot of people running around, so Meekins put it in the Evidence Room. Meekins needed an ID Card to enter the Evidence Room, and he reveals his ID number, #4989596.

If you look carefully, the number was used twice; 25 minutes before the crime, and around the same time as Goodman! The first time was for relocating the Blue Badger to the Evidence Room, and the second time was to get it back. It was during this second trip that he spotted the suspicious man on the security screen. The ID Card Record will be updated in the Court Record.

When Meekins saw the knife, he began wildly swinging his arms and cut his hand in the process, before finally grabbing the man by the collar. Meekins eventually got the knife from the man, whose white coat was drenched with Meekins' blood. But then he punched Meekins right in the face. Meekins was slapped awake at 5:30 PM. Afterward, he went to finish his deed, and put the Blue Badger back in its place in front of the Department.

The judge believes he has heard an accurate testimony, but one thing remains unclear, was the man murdered at the Police Department really Goodman? Meekins then presents a videotape of the murder sent in by Chief Gant. This comes as a surprise to Edgeworth, who was told that the tape had been mistakenly erased. You then see the tape.

Here is the description of the tape. The camera pans left and right:

 * Right view 1: Nothing interesting here, except the Blue Badger.
 * Left view 1: Goodman walks by.
 * Right view 2: Goodman opens his locker.
 * Left view 2: Meekins sneaks up on Goodman.
 * Right view 3: Goodman spins around, slashing Meekin's hand. They begin fighting each other.
 * Left view 3: The fight continues as the camera faces away from them.
 * Right view 4: Meekins is knocked out, slumped against the wall and Goodman is nowhere to be seen.
 * Left view 4: Nothing interesting here, maybe.

As you can see in everyone's faces (shock and annoyed is best described), while it proves Meekins did encounter someone and there was some activity, the tape doesn't show the man's face or what happened because of the panning of the camera and the Blue Badger in the way! Edgeworth tells Meekins to describe the man. The Security Video is added to the Court Record.

Meekins' Testimony: Mystery Man
If there's one trait that makes Meekin a competent witness, is that he never looks at people's faces! How could they hire him to be part of the police force is he acts like a soldier following orders in which he's only good at?! Pray for a glimmer of hope from his testimony.

Mystery Man: Cross-examination
Press Meekins' 5th statement. Edgeworth asks if there is a problem with the videotape. Say "There's a problem". You then examine the tape. Alternatively, you can present the "Video Tape" on this statement as you automatically examine the tape.

 * Video tape

You are about to examine a videotape. There are three buttons on the bottom: fast forward, pause, and rewind. If you need to go faster, hit fast forward. If you need to go back, press rewind. If you need to stop for a moment, press pause. If you see something interesting, pause, put the cursor on the interesting object, and present it.

Wii Remote Controls on WiiWare Version: These controls might be a little bit tricky to use: D-Pad is to move the cursor on screen. A button is to play and pause the video. B button and D-Pad (or twist the Wii Remote to the right) to fast forward or move to the next frame. B button and D-Pad (or twist the Wii Remote to the left) to rewind or move back a frame. - button is to present where on the video you want to show.

DS/3DS Controls: The setup should be simpler than the Wii Remote Controls. The D-Pad is to move the cursor on screen. B button is to play and pause the video. Y button is to rewind or move back a frame. A button is to fast forward or move to the next frame. X button is to present where on the video you want to show.

 * Right view 1: Before Goodman walks over to the left side. Look at Goodman's locker. It's lit up! Present it. If the locker was lit, that means it was open. Goodman's locker was lit, so it was already opened. The judge wants you to show why. You examine the tape again.
 * Right view 2: If you look closely at Goodman's locker as it opens, you see something fall out. Pause at the right time and present it. When the locker was closed, the object might have been stuck between the door and the sensor.

The judge wants you to present the thin insulator. Present the Rubber Glove. It says "SL-9 Incident" on it, meaning that it belonged inside a locker. With it being outside, that means it must have fallen out of one of them. With this Glove, anyone could have opened the locker. Edgeworth isn't willing to give in and has Meekins testify more about the tape.

Meekins' Testimony: Mystery Man (2)
Edgeworth even has the ID Card Record to prove that Goodman's ID was used. The judge wonders why, since there should have been hundreds of transferrals scheduled, there were so few people on the ID Card Record. Edgeworth tells him that this specific Evidence Room (Sector Three) only stores evidence for certain special cases — only extremely violent ones involving the police staff. There were only a few cases scheduled for transferrals, and the other ones were mostly cleared up by noon. The judge is satisfied, so you begin the cross-examination.

Mystery Man (2): Cross-examination
On Meekins' 2nd, 3rd or 4th statement, present Goodman's ID or Goodman's Lost Item Report. Goodman had lost something important to him that day — likely his ID Card. Not only that, you found his ID at the parking lot! Phoenix presents the case that the man that Meekins encountered was not Goodman, but rather the man that stole Goodman's ID Card. Edgeworth then makes a conclusion: if the man on the Security Video is a fake, then the murder in the Evidence Room is also a fake! If the murder didn't occur at the Police Department, then that means it must have happened at the Underground Parking Lot. This makes Lana Skye the prime suspect once again.

Object to this. While the camera doesn't show the moment of the murder, it is still related to the case. Time to call someone to the stand. When asked who,  present Jake Marshall's profile. Edgeworth agrees to your request and calls him to the stand. The judge calls a 30-minute recess while they go get Marshall and the prosecution prepares.

Recess
Lana tells Phoenix that Marshall knows something. Lana seems to know something about the case herself, but doesn't want to talk about it, even to her sister. Why? Gumshoe then comes in to bring files from the SL-9 Incident, at Lana's request. It is also revealed that Lana was a witness on that case. The SL-9 Incident Files will be added to the Court Record. In there, you see a list of people involved in the case known as the "Joe Darke Killings", and one of them is Ema, who runs off crying after seeing it. Gumshoe leaves too, and Lana wishes you the best of luck.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/Episode 5: Rise from the Ashes/Day 3 - Trial Latter

Back in court, Ema hasn't come back, so you won't have any help this time. Edgeworth calls Jake Marshall to the stand. He testifies about the day of the crime.

Marshall's Testimony: Day of the Crime
Two security systems? Marshall is talking about the security camera, and the ID card reader. He doesn't know about the fingerprint locks on the evidence lockers though.

Day of the Crime: Cross-examination
It's finally time to use that trump card. Present Marshall's Prints on his 4th or 5th statements. If Marshall wasn't at the department, why were Marshall's bloody fingerprints on one of the lockers? Marshall denies it, but Edgeworth has him testify about the fingerprints.

Bloodstained Fingerprints: Cross-examination
Press Marshall's 1st statement. Marshall tells you that it was his locker the handprint was on, so it wouldn't be a surprise that Marshall's fingerprints were on it. Marshall's Prints will be updated in the Court Record.

The murderer was wearing gloves? Press Marshall's 5th statement. How does he know about that? Edgeworth states that they tried the prints on Gumshoe's locker and determined that the murderer was wearing gloves. Marshall refers to the Security Video, and says if you can't prove he's in there, you've got nothing on him. Marshall adds this to his testimony.
 * "Too bad it wasn't me in that video, right, pardner?"

Press on that statement. The camera was moving back and forth and it doesn't show the floor, so if someone was familiar with the movement, he could have found a way to leave the room without getting caught. The judge wants to know if you have any proof. Choose "Show evidence", and you'll examine the tape.

 * Left view 4: Look at Jake's locker. There is a piece of cloth sticking out. If you rewind it, you'll see it wasn't there before.

Present the piece sticking out of his locker to the court. If that locker can only be opened by Marshall, then only he could have put the cloth in there, thus proving that the Goodman in this video was indeed Marshall. Marshall is the only one in the courtroom that doesn't know about the fingerprint sensor on the lockers, so he asks for proof.

Present the Evidence Locker, and Marshall will freak, as he didn't know they'd installed the device in the new lockers.

The judge wants Marshall to explain what he was doing in the Evidence Room but he's unresponsive, so Phoenix decides he can figure it out himself. The judge asks you to show where Marshall was. You examine the Evidence Room Floorplans. Present the victim's (V) spot. This is where Goodman was supposed to have been, but recall Meekins' story: if he asked Goodman for his ID card, why didn't he just show it, rather than have his knife out? Because if Marshall did show Goodman's ID, his cover would have been blown.

Marshall is still not giving up as all your evidence is circumstantial; you don't have any solid proof. Luckily Edgeworth gives you some advice from his early career: return to the basics. Instead of finding evidence that Marshall was in disguise, find evidence that came about because he was in disguise. The tape should answer your questions, so you look at the tape once more.

 * Right view 3: Pause just as "Goodman" lunges at Meekins. There's blood on his shoulder, lots of it!

Present this to the court. There was lots of blood on it, so it would be too obvious that he fought Meekins. He had to hide it, and that hiding spot must have been his own locker.

Marshall says, "Are you happy now Edgeworth?" for two years ago. If he had been as persistent in the SL-9 case, none of this would have happened. Marshall then gives his confession in the next testimony.

Marshall's Testimony: Marshall's Confession
No murder? Then why was there large amounts of blood on the floor? Marshall says Meekins was the donor since he cut his hand — but wouldn't that create not nearly enough blood?

Marshall's Confession: Cross-examination
Press all of Marshall's statements.

 * First statement: He couldn't just let the SL-9 Incident die, he wanted to go through the evidence from the case before it was lost forever in the transferal. Only the lead detective has access to a dead case's files, so he needed Goodman's ID and his disguise to get them.
 * Second statement: If he didn't make it look like Goodman was taking out the transferral, he would have been caught stealing. He admits to stealing Goodman's ID that morning, then leaving it at the Underground Parking Lot to be found later. It was pure luck that the Rubber Glove jammed the fingerprint sensor, or Marshall couldn't have gotten the locker open. But that means that Goodman himself had opened it previously.
 * Third statement: Marshall expected to be there for about five minutes, but he didn't expect Meekins to be in the room. Marshall is still holding the knife he used to cut Meekins' hand.
 * Fourth statement: He couldn't leave the Evidence Room covered in blood, so he stashed the coat in his locker on the way out.
 * Fifth statement: When Marshall opened Goodman's locker, the evidence was already gone. According to Edgeworth, it hasn't been found yet.

Phoenix asks Marshall why he went through such lengths trying to get the evidence (i.e. stealing a detective's ID, injuring a police officer, etc.). Marshall is prepared to do anything it takes to get satisfactory evidence on the SL-9 Incident. He adds this statement to his testimony.
 * "I can't just forget the SL-9 Incident… You know why?"

If you press on that statement, you'll find out that though the serial killings of "Joe Darke" were solved two years ago, Marshall still feels that something wasn't right. There may a reason he's not talking about to explain his zeal towards the case. Present the SL-9 Incident Files on his latest statement. On the victim list, there is the name of another Marshall, "Neil Marshall". Jake Marshall says Neil was his brother and a prosecutor, just like Edgeworth. He was the one that handled the case, and after he was killed, Edgeworth took over.

Neil and Damon Gant led the investigation of the SL-9 case, and the other detectives all worked under them. They were desperate to prosecute the killer. Eventually, Neil fought Darke but was killed. That was the only evidence Darke had ever left behind, and they used it to get the Guilty verdict. Marshall knew no one could beat his brother in a fight, so he knows there's more to the story than what is found in the public records. On the last day before the SL-9 evidence was transferred, Marshall stole an ID, intended to steal evidence, and ended up assaulting a police officer.

The good news is, now you know what happened at the Police Department. The bad news is, this also makes Lana, your client, the primary suspect again. Seeing Lana as the only person who could have committed the crime, the judge begins to declare a verdict, but is stopped.

There's another crime before that?! Scientifically?!
It's Ema! Ema wants the judge to hear you out. After finding out the Joe Darke Killings that she'd been involved in was the same case as SL-9, Ema went to the Evidence Room to recheck the handprint on Gumshoe's locker, but she found nothing again. She leaves you to do the talking, but you have nothing. The judge asks you if there is something not right with the handprint. Say "I object!". Something might not have been drawn in the Evidence Room Floorplans. If it wasn't, then the handprint may change the case. When asked what could have been drawn on there, present the Blue Badger Panel. The Blue Badger was dancing at the time the fight took place, and it would've been impossible to place a handprint on Gumshoe's locker, because the Blue Badger was right in front of it.

Ema comes back with a solution. If the print wasn't there during the fight, it must have been put there before the fight happened. Thus, blood was spilled at the Evidence Room twice! So, something might have happened in there before the commotion was caught on tape. However, you need proof, so when you get the chance, present the ID Card Record. If the murder took place before the fight, it would be either 4:20 PM or 4:40 PM. But it would've been impossible for Edgeworth to clean up the act before Meekins brought the Blue Badger up, so the only remaining number is "7777777". If Goodman lost his ID card that day, then he must have walked in with the real murderer. The judge asks Edgeworth to find out who the owner of this number is. However, Edgeworth can't, as he doesn't have the authority to look up someone with a rank of captain or higher, unless he or she is charged with a crime.

Because of that, Marshall mocks Edgeworth with his cover-ups and forgeries and says, "That's how the Prosecutor's Office operates!". Edgeworth wants Marshall to keep his slander to himself. Marshall then asks a question to Lana: "In that trial two years ago… did you really use legitimate evidence?". Lana says when she became a prosecutor, she thought she could use the law to suppress crime, but it turned out that the law only made it harder to put criminals away.

Lana then answers Marshall's question to Edgeworth: "Drastic crimes require drastic measures… That's just the way it is. We did what we had to… in order to get the verdict he deserved. Even if it involved 'forging' evidence.".

Lana's last bit leaves the court in such a ruckus, the judge is forced to adjourn court for the day.
