Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout/Beginning, Part 1

Edgeworth, Kay, and Lotta leave the Grand Tower. Edgeworth is still mulling over what Shelly de Killer told him over the transceiver, trying to work out the meaning behind the red-hooded person who attacked Kay, and the Letter from Unknown (差出人不明の手紙 sashidashinin fumei no tegami) found on the victim in the P.I.C. meeting room. The group are interrupted by a familiar-looking girl who comes screaming for help. She says that someone is dead - killed by a monster!? Edgeworth and Kay agree to follow her.

The girl leads them to a temporary film lot near the Grand Tower. On the ground are what appear to be hoofprints, far larger than any real animal could make... and in one of them is the body of Di-Jun Huang, the president of Zheng Fa. Beside the body is Agent Shi-Long Lang of Interpol. Lang is more shocked than anyone at finding his president dead in a film set. Lotta says that the footprints are those of the "Mighty Moozilla" (ボルモス Borumosu). Just then, Edgeworth has a flashback to the fake attempted assassination a few weeks earlier - someone had hired de Killer to kill Huang, so has de Killer finally fulfilled his contract? Lang, meanwhile, is getting worked up, and demands to know exactly what the girl from earlier knows about Huang's death. Edgeworth manages to talk him down, and convinces him to carry out an investigation before arresting anyone.

Edgeworth remembers who the girl is - Penny Nichols (間宮　由美子 (まみや　ゆみこ) Mamiya Yumiko), an assistant at Global Studios, who was involved in one of Edgeworth's cases from a few years ago. She explains that the site is being used as a film set, and she came here to get the equipment set up for filming. She leaves to call the police. Until they arrive, you should investigate what you can.

Investigation: Outside Grand Tower - Temporary Film Lot / 捜査　～タワー裏・空き地～
First, examine the body. It looks like he was stepped on by a monster, but that's impossible, surely? You receive the Stepped on by a monster? logic anyway (ふみつぶされた？ Fumitsubusareta?). You also jot down some Crime Scene Notes (死体の所見メモ shitai no shoken memo) in the Organizer. Examine the "footprint" outlining the body. The Monster's Footprints (怪獣の足跡 kaijū no ashiato) are added to the Organizer. Kay notes that there are three similar "prints" around the set. You receive the Three footprints logic (３つの足あと Mittsu no ashiato).

Go back and examine the broken lock by the gate to the right. It leads back to the Grand Tower (ビッグタワー Biggu Tawā). This is added to the Organizer. The lock and chain have been broken, suggesting that someone forced their way through. You receive the Rear entrance forced open logic (こじ開けられた裏口 Koji akerareta uraguchi). Penny also notices a massive dent in the fence. She says that it wasn't there yesterday. The Dented fence (へこんだフェンス Hekonda fensu) is added to your Logic. If you want, you can examine the fence again to catch a glimpse of what a certain defence attorney and his assistant are up to at the moment.

Talk to Lotta. She claims that she saw Moozilla herself, when she was staking out the 51st floor storeroom. According to her, Moozilla is on the other side of the blinds in the photo she took of Jill Crane in the red raincoat.

Next, talk to Penny:

 * Discovery of the body (死体の発見 Shitai no hakken): She came here early on her own. She first noticed the "hoofprints", which hadn't been there the previous day. She thought at first that they were part of the set, but then saw the body when she took a closer look.
 * Filming a movie (映画の撮影 Eiga no satsuei): The film is a revival of the "Mighty Moozilla" series. The film is set at the Grand Tower. She gives you a Monster Movie Flyer (怪獣映画のチラシ kaijū eiga no chirashi) for the film, "Mighty Moozilla vs. Gourdy". Gourdy... where have you heard of that before?
 * The entrance (入口 Iriguchi): The front gate was locked with a combination lock. It was properly locked when Penny arrived today. Only people involved in the movie know the combination. You receive the Combination lock logic (数字錠がかかっていた Sūji-jō ga kakatteita).

Edgeworth has his suspicions about some of the equipment around the film lot. Examine the film crane. Kay wonders what the best way to smuggle it to Edgeworth's house would be. Then, examine the vinyl sheet on the table. Penny explains that it's a waterproof sheet used to cover the film crane during bad weather.

Penny's given you some useful information. First, go to your Logic, and connect the Combination lock (数字錠がかかっていた) to Rear entrance forced open (こじ開けられた裏口). Since the lock on the rear gate was broken, you can assume that the culprit was someone who didn't know the combination - that is, someone not involved with the movie. The Combination Lock (撮影所のカギ satsueijo no kagi) is added to the Organizer. Next, examine the body again. Highlight the horn to the right of the body, and deduce from the Monster Movie Flyer (怪獣映画のチラシ) that the horn resembles that of Moozilla. Talk to Penny again:

 * Broken horn (角のカケラ Tsuno no kakera): The Moozilla horn was made for use as part of an advertising campaign. It should be connected to a model Moozilla head, which was on the studio's roof. The model is large, but not as big as the "real thing". You receive the Broken horn logic (角のカケラ Tsuno no kakera).

The Logic is starting to fall into place now. Connect the Broken horn (角のカケラ) to the Dented fence (へこんだフェンス). It's possible that the Moozilla head on the roof of the building fell off and struck the fence, causing the dent. You receive the Monster's head logic (怪獣のアタマ Kaijū no atama). Connect this to Stepped on by a monster? (ふみつぶされた？). If the Moozilla head had fallen off the rooftop while Huang was stood underneath, it would have landed on top of him and killed him. Was that the murder method? Edgeworth decides that he needs to investigate the rooftop. Examine the staircase to do so.

The Moozilla on the roof looks different. Penny explains that it's based on the original design from 12 years ago. Examine the model itself. One of the horns is broken. Edgeworth asks how the model is transported. Penny explains that it can be taken apart, but only if you know how. When it is taken apart, it can easily be carried by one person. Moozilla's Head (ボルモスのアタマ Borumosu no atama) is added to the Organizer. The model also resembles the stuffed animal doll you saw in the president's plane and the storeroom. So the president owned a Moozilla Doll (ボルモスのぬいぐるみ Borumosu no nuigurumi)... Is this really just a coincidence? Next, examine the table. Moozilla's head should be on the stand, but the legs have been burnt off. If Moozilla's head was on the stand when the legs broke, then the stand woud have tilted, causing the head to fall. Edgeworth also has a good idea of what caused the fire: a flammable can next to a heater. But Penny is certain that the heater was never used. The question now becomes, what caused the fire?

Go back, and talk to Lang:

 * Why were you here? (なぜここに？ Naze koko ni?): Lang heard Penny scream, and came to check via the back entrance. When he arrived, Penny was already running out of the front entrance. He doesn't tell you why he was at the tower in the first place, though.
 * President Huang (王大統領 Ō-daitōryō): Lang's father served under Huang. Huang's will was left in the care of the Lang clan, as a sign of trust. 12 years ago, however, everything changed, and Huang lost trust in the police of Zheng Fa. Lang never lost his faith in Huang, though.

At this point, Lang leaves. While on his way out, he meets a young boy, who rudely orders him to "move it". The boy is John Marsh (相沢　詩紋 (あいざわ　しもん) Aizawa Shimon), the star of the film. Talk to John:

 * John Marsh (相沢　詩紋 Aizawa Shimon): John plays a boy who has a "special connection" with Moozilla. The horns he's wearing are special prosthetics made as part of his costume, which allow him to "communicate with Moozilla". Apparently, John is older than he looks.
 * The president (大統領 Daitōryō): Huang was a fan of Moozilla, so he was to have a small cameo part in the film. John shows you a Commemorative Photo (記念写真 kinen shashin) taken yesterday. The body, hoofprints, and dent in the fence aren't in it.

That completes your investigation of the crime scene. Based on what you've learned, it's very likely that Huang died from being crushed by the falling Moozilla head. Lang returns alongside the police and Huang's bodyguards. Lang says he already has a suspect in mind. He shows you a Security Camera Photo (監視カメラ映像 kanshi kamera eizō) from the camera on the roof of the Grand Tower. It shows President Huang, with... Judge Courtney? Edgeworth wants to hear Lang out, but Lang has already heard that Edgeworth has given up his badge. Edgeworth explains to Lang about the person in the red raincoat who attacked Kay, and convinces Lang to explain his logic.

Rebuttal: Why Courtney? / 追求　～ミカガミを疑う理由～
Present the Commemorative Photo (記念写真) on the second statement. The photo was taken yesterday, and shows no body, which overturns Lang's logic immediately. Edgeworth explains the results of his investigation to Lang. Lang suggests that Courtney pushed Huang to his death two days ago, and then went to the film lot to hide the body. That's impossible, though - present the Combination Lock (撮影所のカギ) to prove it. Edgeworth asks why Lang is insisting that Huang was killed two days ago. Lang says that there is more to the security footage.

Rebuttal: Why Courtney? Pt. 2 / 追求　～ミカガミを疑う理由②～
Present the Grand Tower (ビッグタワー) on the fourth statement. Lang doesn't know about the secret 51st floor, but what if Huang did? Lang is not impressed by the suggestion that Huang might be involved in the black market auctions. Lang doesn't know about the real President Huang you saw on the presidential plane, but it's best not to mention that now.

Lotta butts in, and says that Huang never went through the 51st floor while she was there. Lotta's Testimony (ナツミの証言書 Natsumi no shōgen-sho) is noted down in the Organizer. This still doesn't explain why the body was not found until today, though. Further investigation into what transpired last night is needed. A police officer comes to bring the body in for the autopsy. He also reports that footprints were found near the body. The footprints appear to belong to a child. Could they be John's? Penny interrupts, and says that she came to the film lot last night at about 10 p.m. to check up on John. She says that John stayed behind to practice. When she came, though, she saw what appeared to be a long neck with scaly, reptile-like skin. Was it Gourdy? Penny says that John appeared to be talking to Gourdy. Lang wants to hear John's testimony, but the boy has already left.

The group chase John to the Tower Plaza, but can't find him anywhere. Just then, Detective Gumshoe shows up with a group of police officers, but he runs away as soon as he sees Edgeworth. Lang also leaves to look for John, and Lotta runs off on the trail of another scoop. Kay notices a man standing around the taxi rank - it looks like one of Lang's former subordinates. He explains what happened to Lang: in the "Yatagarasu Incident" a month ago, Lang made a "mistake" - he aided and abetted a criminal, if unwittingly. Lang took full responsibility, and his team was disbanded. This agent followed Lang, because he was worried about his former boss. He mentions that Lang is chasing the "ghosts of 12 years past", but doesn't say any more.

There's nothing more to do at the Grand Tower for now, so Edgeworth decides that he should speak to Judge Courtney next. He and Kay go to the courthouse, where Courtney is currently holding the trial of Patricia Roland for the murder of Horace Knightley.


text:
Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout/Beginning, Part 2

At the courthouse, the trial is just getting underway. Ray is in charge of the defence, and Franziska has taken over the prosecution. The defendant, Patricia Roland, is called to the stand. She seems oddly confident, however. Franziska prepares to present her decisive evidence... but it's nowhere to be found. It seems Debeste misplaced the murder weapon, the most vital piece of evidence. Ray tries to get the trial postponed, but Courtney overrules him. Without evidence, Roland cannot be found guilty, and so Courtney prepares to hand down her verdict. Both Franziska and Ray request a recess, and eventually, Courtney agrees.

District Court - 3rd Floor Lobby / 地方裁判所・ロビー
Outside in the lobby, Edgeworth and Kay have found out about the missing evidence. They are greeted by Regina Berry and Simon Keyes, who came to watch the trial. Franziska and Ray emerge from the courtroom. Franziska is none too pleased about the missing evidence. Talk to her:

 * The trial (裁判について Saiban ni tsuite): Edgeworth decides to stay classy and avoid getting into an argument with Franziska.
 * Knightley’s murder (内藤殺害事件 Naitō satsugai jiken): She's still annoyed at Debeste for losing the evidence.

For a bit of extra fun dialogue present the Crime Scene Notes.

Talk to Ray:

 * The trial (裁判について Saiban ni tsuite): The evidence is missing. Guess who Ray wants to look for it?
 * Edgeworth Law Offices (御剣について Mitsurugi ni tsuite): Ray tries again to convince Edgeworth to join him at the defence's bench.

Edgeworth eventually gives in, and agrees to help look for the evidence. Ray and Franziska agree to try and stall the trial, and Simon and Regina decide to help search for the evidence. Kay wants to know who you should ask about the evidence first. Present Sebastian Debeste's profile (一柳　弓彦). Simon and Regina go off to look for him, while Ray and Franziska leave to discuss the trial. Before Edgeworth can leave, though, Courtney enters the lobby. She says that in the courtroom, all that matters is evidence, and without it, she must declare Roland innocent. Edgeworth asks her about her meeting with President Huang on the roof of the Grand Tower. She is shocked to learn that Huang is dead, and that she is a suspect, but refuses to tell Edgeworth about her meeting with Huang. Courtney is clearly trying to hide something, so Edgeworth is forced to use "that" to draw the truth from her.

Logic Chess: Justine Courtney / ロジックチェス　～水鏡　秤～
Courtney explains that, just before the trial began, she received a call from the kidnapper. Their only demand was a "not guilty" verdict for Patricia Roland. So this is why Courtney was about to declare Roland innocent... She is deeply upset by this, and deems herself unfit to be a judge, since her verdict was not impartial. Kay and Edgeworth reassure her that it is fine for her to be worried about her son. The recess is over, and Courtney prepares to return to the trial. Kay offers to find John for her, so that she can deliver the correct verdict in the trial. Courtney agrees, and gives you her mobile phone, in case the kidnapper calls again. She says that she will try to drag out the trial, but the most she can give you is two hours. Edgeworth suggests that they begin from the tower's plaza.

Investigation: Outside Grand Tower - Tower Plaza / 捜査　～ビッグタワー前広場～
First, examine the taxi to talk to its driver. He's had one job today - two men, dressed in black. You receive the Two men logic (２人組の男 Futari kumi no otoko). Talk to the police officer. He says that the only cars that have passed by today are the taxi and the nearby blue truck. The Cars that came through (出入りした車 Deirishita kuruma) are added to your Logic. Examine the blue truck in question. It's cold, so it's probably been here for some time. The driver is absent, so you can't ask them any questions. The Blue Truck (青いトラック aoi torakku) is added to the Organizer.

Talk to the man in the orange tracksuit, standing to the left of the plaza. It's another familiar face - Will Powers (荷星　三郎 (にぼし　さぶろう) Niboshi Saburō), star of The Steel Samurai, and former defendant in one of Edgeworth's past trials.

 * About the case (事件について Jiken ni tsuite): It doesn't look like much more filming will be possible here, since construction is due to begin on the film lot soon. There's also the fact that Lotta is running around spreading rumours about the studio... Things don't look good for the film.
 * Monster movie (怪獣映画 Kaijū eiga): Powers is playing the role of Moozilla itself.
 * John Marsh (シモンについて Shimon ni tsuite): He saw John leaving the film lot. John went into the trailer, but when Powers went to check the equipment later, he was gone again. Edgeworth asks to be allowed to examine it.

Go back, and examine the trailer. There's a cassette tape in John's backpack. Powers plays it back with a nearby monitor. It shows John practicing late at night. The "hoofprints" are visible, so it must be from last night. After a few moments, though, John goes out of shot. The tape ends shortly after. John’s Practice Video (シモンの練習映像 Shimon no renshū eizō) is added to the Organizer. Examine the pile of equipment beside the trailer. Powers says that filming was stopped for today, since a box was stolen. The Stolen box (盗まれた箱 Nusumareta hako) is added to your Logic. The equipment was left behind, so the thief presumably just wanted the box. What did they need a box for, though?

By now, it's after 12:30. Edgeworth takes a moment to wonder how the trial is going, but is interrupted by two loud-mouthed "journalists" - Lotta, and her apprentice Nicole Swift. Talk to Nicole:

 * Collecting information (取材 Shuzai): She won't speak unless you give her some information in return. Present the Commemorative Photo (記念写真). She already knows about the kidnapping incident, somehow.
 * Top secret material (情報 Jōhō): She witnessed John being taken by some men dressed in black. The Men in black (黒服の男たち Kurofuku no otoko-tachi) are added to your Logic.

Connect the Men in black (黒服の男たち) to Two men (２人組の男). The men Nicole and the taxi driver spoke of are likely the same two, but the taxi driver said that they didn't have John with them. Where did he disappear to? You receive the John wasn't with them (２人だけだった Futari dakedatta) logic. Connect this to the Stolen box (盗まれた箱). Perhaps the box was stolen in order to hide John in it. If the kidnappers had not predicted the presence of the policemen in the plaza, they would have needed another method to kidnap John without being seen. Edgeworth asks the taxi driver, who confirms that the two men had a large trunk with them. The driver offers to take Edgeworth and Kay to the same place.

???????
The driver says that the men went to the garage of this house. Kay notices the nameplate on the door - Blaise Debeste!? The garage door is open, so Kay and Edgeworth enter it. There's nobody inside, so you're free to investigate. First, examine the gloves on the floor. They're a pair of oddly-designed, dirty mechanic's gloves... but they seem too dirty to have been used just for repairing a motorcycle. The Mechanic's Gloves (メカニックグローブ Mekanikku gurōbu) are added to the Organizer. Examine the large green box behind them. This looks like the box that was stolen from the film lot, so it's possible that John is still here. Examine the shovel and sledgehammer on the wall. While you're looking at them, you hear banging from somewhere else in the garage. Edgeworth and Kay go to check it out, but instead of finding John, they find, gagged and bound... Sebastian Debeste!? He's understandably upset about his situation, so you'll need to use "that" again.

Investigation continues / 捜査の継続
Sebastian runs out of the garage at full speed. Where did he go? Edgeworth and Kay return to the tower plaza for now. Time is running out... The trial will probably be drawing to a close soon. Edgeworth calls Ray to find out how things are going in the courtroom. He tells Ray that he found Sebastian, and that Sebastian gave the evidence for the trial to Blaise. Ray orders a subpoena for Blaise, and tells Edgeworth to focus on looking for John.

Kay produces the evidence found at the crime scene - the Mechanic's Gloves, and the IS-7 Incident Documents (ＩＳ－７号事件の資料 IS-7 gōjiken no shiryō). She also presents the Yatagarasu's Badge. Meanwhile, Sebastian emerges from the Grand Tower... and immediately runs off again. Edgeworth and Kay head for the 51st floor of the tower. The entrance hatch is open, and inside, the safe is unlocked. Examine it. Inside are some documents - some sheets of paper, and a photo of Horace Knightley. What's this doing here? The paper reads:

 * "I'm all but certain there is a connection between Knightley and Dogen. Dogen's chess partner, whose identity remained unknown until now... was actually Knightley all along. That is proof enough. Tomorrow, I shall interrogate him in the warden's office. I'll get him to confess that he's one of Dogen's henchmen. That thing he laid to rest near the flowerbed 12 years ago... you simply must retrieve it."

The document was most likely written by Patricia Roland, before Knightley was murdered. And its recipient, the owner of the safe, was Blaise Debeste. This proves the connection between Blaise and Roland, and also connects them to the assassin Sirhan Dogen. The Report on Knightley (内藤についての報告書 Naitō ni tsuite no hōkoku-sho) is added to the Organizer. Kay also notices some other things in the safe - Knightley's chessboard and ring. Knightley's Mementos (内藤の遺品 Naitō no ihin) are also added to the Organizer. Exit the storeroom via the ladder. On the viewing platform, you are greeted by another familiar, but less welcome face - Shelly de Killer. He wonders if you've figured out the meaning of his message yet. He denies having killed Huang, saying that that particular contract has expired. His client gave him a false target, and so, he is searching for that client - who, he suspects, is the same person you're looking for. De Killer has one more piece of information - Sirhan Dogen has escaped from prison. He leaves on that note.

Edgeworth and Kay return to the plaza. Suddenly, Courtney's phone starts ringing. The caller identifies himself as the person in the red hood - the person you've been looking for all along. The caller says that he ordered Blaise to kill Jill Crane, and kidnapped Kay in order to draw in Edgeworth, who, the caller knew, would stop at nothing to find the truth. The caller also says that Blaise did not kidnap John. He even knows about Courtney's visit to Edgeworth in the detention center... But how does he know that? And how does he know about John's situation? Regarding the latter, that's because he is the one who kidnapped John. The caller taunts Edgeworth before hanging up.

Edgeworth wonders how the caller knew so much about him and his activities. The caller knew about Edgeworth's visit in the detention center, and that this is Kay's first "job" as the Yatagarasu. Edgeworth has figured it out - the culprit has planted a bug on us (盗聴している Tōchō shite iru). The caller knew something they shouldn't - that Courtney visited Edgeworth in the detention center. And Edgeworth only had one thing on him at that time... Present the Yatagarasu's Badge (ヤタガラスのバッジ). You take a closer look at it. Rotate it around, and examine the back of the badge. Inside is a small device - the bug. Kay grabs the bug, and yells into it - causing Nicole to fall over from shock. Edgeworth turns off the Bug (盗聴器 tōchōki), and places it in the Organizer. He asks Nicole who the boy she saw being abducted was. Nicole says that it wasn't John, meaning the entire investigation so far has been for naught, and you need to start over.

Investigation: Outside Grand Tower - Tower Plaza (2) / 捜査　～ビッグタワー前広場②～
Kay mentions that she heard a strange sound at the end of the phone call - a loud bang, like an explosion. You receive the Sound of an explosion logic (ハレツ音 Haretsu-on). Nicole butts in again. Talk to her:

 * The scoop (スクープ Sukūpu): It's decisive evidence that Moozilla exists! Edgeworth is not impressed, but hears her out anyway. Apparently, she recorded the sound of Moozilla breathing fire. She wasn't actually there when the recording was made, though, as she was using an "unusual" recording method.
 * The recording method (録音の方法 Rokuon no hōhō): Nicole was investigating the black market auctions as well, and had wiretapped wireless communications around the Grand Tower. As she was listening to the sound of "Moozilla", Kay shouted into the bug, startling her. Nicole's Tape Recorder (速水の録音テープ Hayami no rokuon tēpu) is added to the Organizer.

Just then, Simon and Regina appear. Leave them for now, and talk to the person on all fours by the taxi rank. It's Detective Gumshoe! What's he doing here? He tries to run away again, but is stopped by Kay. Gumshoe says that, when Edgeworth gave up his badge, he began to think about what it means for him to be a detective, and decided to do some investigating for his own sake. He overheard Edgeworth's conversation with Blaise Debeste in the detention center, and checked over the evidence himself, which led him to the truth behind Jill Crane's fake autopsy report. Gumshoe tries to leave again, but Edgeworth asks him to help investigate. Gumshoe finally relents after Edgeworth bows his head to him.

 * The investigation (これまでのこと Kore made no koto): Gumshoe has three pieces of information. First, regarding Kay's clothes: traces of a potent sleeping drug were found on them. Second, he checked the security footage of the tower viewing platform's elevator for any sign of Kay being brought to the roof of the tower. She never appeared anywhere on the footage. Last, and most important - Gumshoe is really happy to be working with Edgeworth again.
 * The kidnapping (捜査の依頼 Sōsa no irai): Gumshoe saw John leave the trailer, and head towards the garbage pickup area.

Move to the garbage pickup area, via the gate next to Regina. Examine the milk carton on the ground, and the sign. Gumshoe says that when he came here earlier, the area was loaded with bulk waste. Based on the evidence, it looks like John was attacked here. You receive the Garbage pickup area logic (ゴミ捨て場 Gomi sute-ba). Connect this to Cars that came through (出入りした車). Since the only cars that came through the area today were the taxi and the blue truck, that means the blue truck was the garbage truck. John must have been taken by this truck to a dump. Kay questions if the garbage truck was real. You're sure that it was, and to prove it, present the lock on the gate of the garbage pickup area. The area is locked, so only a real garbage collector could have collected the garbage. John was likely hidden in a large cardboard box, which would have been brought to the dump, where the kidnapper would have simply needed to ask for the box to be returned to them. There are two dumps nearby, so the question becomes "which one?" You receive the Which garbage dump? logic (ゴミ処分場 Gomi shobun-ba).

Next, talk to Simon:

 * Search for Sebastian (一柳検事の捜索 Ichiyanagi-kenji no sōsaku): Simon and Regina were searching around the Sunshine Coliseum. Apparently, an event was being held at the Coliseum, with food stalls and fireworks. You receive the Event at the Coliseum logic (コロシアムのイベント Koroshiamu no ibento).
 * The circus show (サーカスの公演 Sākasu no kōen): Simon is thankful that Sebastian was found quickly, as there is a show starting soon, and he needed time to prepare for it.

Use your Logic, and connect the Event at the Coliseum (コロシアムのイベント) to the Sound of an explosion (ハレツ音). It's possible that the explosion you heard at the end of the phone call was actually a firework, meaning that the kidnapper was near the Coliseum (コロシアムの周辺 Koroshiamu no shūhen). Connect this to Which garbage dump? (ゴミ処分場). The nearest dump to the Coliseum is the Dawn Waste Center, so John must be somewhere near there. Kay and Detective Gumshoe go to look for John, while Edgeworth heads for the courtroom.

District Court - Courtroom No. 3 / 地方裁判所・第３法廷
At the trial, Blaise Debeste is on the stand. He claims that he would have no reason to hide evidence for the benefit of Patricia Roland. Edgeworth asks to be allowed to present evidence proving Blaise's connection to Roland. To convince Courtney, he tells her that Kay is looking for the "most important piece of evidence" - John Marsh. Courtney allows him to present evidence. When asked which piece of evidence, present the Report on Knightley (内藤についての報告書). Edgeworth details the contents of the report. Franziska demands to know who the recipient of the report was. Edgeworth explains that the report was found in the safe of the black market auction's conductor - Blaise Debeste. Blaise refuses to accept it, however, as he has yet to stand trial himself, and threatens Courtney with his "last resort". Courtney reluctantly overrules Edgeworth's evidence. Just as all seems lost, Sebastian enters the courtroom, with new evidence to present. Blaise tries to stop him, by forcing Courtney to declare her verdict... but at the last second, the phones start ringing - Kay and Gumshoe have found John, and he's safe and sound!

With the weight lifted from her shoulders, Courtney is free to declare the true verdict for the trial. She allows Sebastian to take his place at the prosecutor's bench, and asks him to present his evidence. Unfortunately, he didn't find the knife and chisel, but he did remember his father throwing out some "trash" wrapped in a newspaper, from which he heard the sound of a bell ringing. He searched the garbage dump for the evidence, but in the end, he couldn't find it. All he did find was a piece of rolled-up newspaper.

It seems worthless, but Ray thinks you should examine it anyway. Examine the paper to unravel it. Inside is one of Dogen's bells. It's perfectly clean. Again, it looks like a dead end, but there's something else you haven't looked at. When asked, choose the newspaper (新聞紙 Shinbunshi). Rotate the newspaper around, and examine the handprint on the back. Edgeworth requests a fingerprint analysis, but unfortunately, it reports that the marks are from a glove. Blaise taunts his son again, but Sebastian has finally found the courage to stand up to his father. He points out the smell of the newspaper - it smells of engine oil, the same smell you noticed in Blaise's garage earlier. With Edgeworth's backing, Sebastian is finally able to present the decisive evidence: the Mechanic's Gloves (メカニックグローブ). As well as the smell of oil, the glove mark and Blaise's gloves have one other common feature. When asked what this is, present the faded letter "A" on the middle finger. Also, the dirt from the gloves and the newspaper are likely the same. Courtney has them sent to the lab for analysis. Blaise tries to put down his son again, but Sebastian is finally able to stand on his own feet, and bids his father farewell.

Blaise Debeste is finally held in custody for his crimes. A search of the garbage dump is about to begin, and the knife used by Roland to kill Knightley will soon be found. Roland, in her anger, lets rip at Blaise, and openly announces to the court his "creating his own truths". Just as Courtney adjourns the trial, however... Not so fast! Agent Lang bursts into the courtroom. Roland recognises the name as "the one from 12 years ago"... the SS-5 Incident, as Lang explains. He's not here to deal with that, however... he's come for Courtney, and someone else, who enters the courtroom at that very moment... John Marsh. Lang plans to re-investigate the crime scene with his suspects in tow. But the president's murder is no longer the only mystery connected to this case...

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout/Middle, Part 1

Back at the film lot, Lotta and Nicole are pestering the film crew about Moozilla. Shortly after, Lang, Edgeworth, and their entourage arrive to investigate. Lang starts by reviewing the case so far. Earlier today, the body of President Huang was found in a film lot near the Grand Tower. He was last seen alive two nights ago, on the rooftop of the tower, alongside Judge Courtney. Lang asks her why she met with Huang, but she still refuses to speak. Edgeworth points out that an entire day is still unaccounted for, but Lang intends to fill in the blank now, by interrogating John. Edgeworth asks John to testify about what he was doing at the film set last night.

Rebuttal: John's Rehearsal / 追求　～シモンの練習～
On the fourth statement, present either Moozilla's Head (ボルモスのアタマ), the Monster's Footprints (怪獣の足跡), or John's Practice Video (シモンの練習映像). If you present Moozilla's Head, you will also have to present either the Monster's Footprints (怪獣の足跡) or John's Practice Video (シモンの練習映像) shortly afterwards, and presenting the footprints or video first will require you to present Moozilla's Head (ボルモスのアタマ) at a later stage. The video clearly shows something out of the ordinary: the footprints. Lang asks why John tried to cover up the video. John says he didn't want anyone to see him practicing, and that he thought the footprints were just part of the set. There's also the issue of Moozilla's head falling, but John says he doesn't know anything about it.

Lang, however, has spotted something in the video that backs up his theory - the Moozilla costume. Currently, the zipper is closed, but in the video, it's wide open. Lang claims that someone was hidden inside at the time the video was recorded. Lang claims that Huang's body was hidden inside by Courtney, after she pushed him off the roof of the tower - and that she had an accomplice to help her from within the film set.

Rebuttal: Mother and Son Theory / 追求　～親子の共犯説～
Press the fourth statement. The video doesn't clearly show the inside of the costume, so Edgeworth asks to examine it. The inside is covered in dirt, which Will considers strange, since the costume is always cleaned after use. Lang simply considers it proof that someone other than Will was inside the costume, and adds another statement to his testimony.

 * There's dirt inside the costume. It must have gotten there when the body was hidden inside.
 * キグルミの中は土で汚れている. 死体を隠したときに付いたんだろう.

On this statement, present the Crime Scene Notes (死体の所見メモ). The costume may be covered in dirt, but the front of the body is not. Kay seems to recognise the dirt from somewhere - maybe another piece of evidence? Present the Mechanic's Gloves (メカニックグローブ). Lang wants to know exactly what the grey dirt is. When asked, choose Concrete (コンクリート Konkurīto). Recall where you found the gloves - in Blaise Debeste's garage, alongside other tools like hammers and shovels. If Blaise made the "footprints" while wearing the gloves, then some of the concrete probably got stuck to the gloves. Lang asks you why he would make the monster footprints. Choose He was digging something up (何かを掘り出した Nani ka o horidashita).

Blaise probably broke into the film lot via the rear entrance, and dug up whatever he was looking for. But before he could escape, John arrived to practice, forcing Blaise to hide himself in the Moozilla costume. John's video holds proof that Blaise was in the film lot during John's rehearsal. Compare the film lot as it is now, to how it is in the video, and also to what you saw in Blaise's garage. When asked to point out the proof, present the duffel bag beside the Moozilla costume. Thus, if Blaise was inside the costume, it's impossible that Huang's body was in there as well.

Just then, Lotta and Nicole object, claiming that the footprints really were made by a monster, and that Penny really did see Gourdy. They refuse to give in, so you have no choice but to make them shut up. Considering that Penny saw "Gourdy" when she went to look for John, there's only one possibility as to what "Gourdy" really is. Present the camera crane seen in the photograph. Given the position from which the video was filmed, a camera crane would have been necessary. Nicole points out that Penny clearly described the monster's "scaly skin", but you have an explanation for that too: present the waterproof vinyl sheets. Last night, it looked like it was going to rain, so the camera crane would have been covered in the waterproof sheets to prevent it from being damaged. With that minor issue out of the way, you can get back to the real mystery.

A forensics officer arrives on the scene with the results of Huang's autopsy. The autopsy report confirms that Huang was crushed to death. The Crime Scene Notes (王　帝君の解剖記録 Ō Teikun no kaibō kiroku) are updated in the Organizer. The yellow stain on Huang's chest is being investigated, but gunpowder residue was found on his right hand, indicating that he fired a gun at some point. The report also lists the time of death at approximately 11 p.m. last night, matching up with the time at which Moozilla's head fell. Lang isn't letting John off the hook so easily, though. Since John was at the film lot last night, he was the only person with the opportunity to make the head fall off the roof. John won't talk, though, so Lang orders an analysis of the practice video. Zoom in (拡大) on the upper right section, and present President Huang, who can now be clearly seen. This new evidence damages John's credibility considerably, since he has been trying to hide this all along. John now says that Moozilla's head falling was his fault, and testifies about what happened during his rehearsal.

Rebuttal: John's Rehearsal / 追求　～シモンの練習～
Press on the sixth statement. John says he didn't get a good look at the body. Press him further (くわしく追求する Kuwashiku tsuikyū suru). John admits that he checked to see if Huang was dead. He adds two more statements to his testimony:

 * I didn't know right away that he was dead. There was no blood, and his clothes were spotless.
 * But he wasn't breathing at all when I checked, so I knew he was already dead.

 * 死体なのか分からなかった. 血も出てないし服も汚れてなかったから.
 * でも、息をしてなかったから、もう死んでるって分かったんだ.

Present the Crime Scene Notes (王　帝君の解剖記録) on the first of these statements. It looks like John is trying to hide the yellow stain on Huang's chest. Courtney steps in, and explains that the yellow stain is probably pollen from the Lion Lily flower. She says that, when she met with Huang, she brought him a bouquet of lion lilies. However, when the body was found, the flowers were gone. John admits that found the flowers on the body, and threw them away, to prevent Courtney from being suspected of murdering Huang. The Bouquet (花束 hanataba) is added to the Organizer.

12 years ago / １２年前
Lang claims that John's story is too convenient, and that he is still the only suspect, but Edgeworth points out that someone far more suspicious remains at large. This person drugged John with sleeping pills, kidnapped him, and hid him in the warehouse near the garbage dump. Also, the sleeping pills found near John in the warehouse appear to be the same ones used on Kay when she was attacked. The Sleeping Drugs (睡眠薬 suimin'yaku) are added to the Organizer. All of this points to a "mastermind" behind the case. There was one more person here last night - Blaise Debeste. Lang recognises the name from 12 years ago. Edgeworth suspects that the events of 12 years ago have some connection to the current case, but Lang wants proof before he tells you anything about it. Present either the Letter from Unknown (差出人不明の手紙), or the Report on Knightley (内藤についての報告書). The letter tells its recipient to "get revenge for 12 years ago", and the report mentions "that thing he laid to rest near the flowerbed 12 years ago".

Lang seems to be convinced, but he is interrupted by a group of his former subordinates, who also want him to reinvestigate the case from 12 years ago - the SS-5 Incident. Kay agrees to help by using Little Thief to recreate the scene of the crime, but unfortunately, Lang doesn't have the necessary case files. He says the files are heavily restricted, and even what he knows is limited, but he agrees to tell you what he knows anyway. 12 years ago, President Huang was kidnapped while visiting this country. The ransom demand was $100 million. The government of Zheng Fa agreed to pay the ransom, and Huang was later returned safely. The suspect tried for the kidnapping was Patricia Roland, but she was found innocent at the time. Lang's father took responsibility for the incident, and was demoted as a result, but never stopped investigating, eventually finding decisive proof of Roland's guilt. However, the trial still ended in a Not Guilty verdict. With so little information to go on, it's impossible for Kay's Little Thief to produce a re-creation.

All seems lost, but luckily, Franziska and Ray arrive, having finished with the trial from earlier. Franziska has a present for you - the SS-5 Incident Files (ＳＳ－５号事件の資料 SS-5 gōjiken no shiryō). Franziska also took an interest in the repeated mentions of "12 years ago", and used her Interpol contacts to obtain the case files. She says that the restriction on the files was set by the prosecutor in charge of the case - Blaise Debeste. As a result of the trial, Blaise has been stripped of his authority, and the restriction has expired.

The case files state that the incident occured at the Tower Plaza, and had one witness: a freelance journalist named Jack Cameron (亀井　隆二 (かめい　りゅうじ) Kamei Ryūji). Cameron was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was murdered by the culprit. The incident occurred outside an orphanage, which, 12 years ago, stood where the Grand Tower is now. The person in charge of the orphanage was Patricia Roland. Kay inputs the data from the case files into Little Thief, and fires up the re-creation.

Investigation: Orphanage - Front Yard (Re-creation) / 捜査　～児童養護施設（再現）～
Begin by examining the body of Jack Cameron. It seems he was struck on the head from behind with a brick. Kay gives you Cameron's Autopsy Report (亀井　隆二の解剖記録 Kamei Ryūji no kaibō kiroku), which is placed in the Organizer. Examine the body. When Cameron was found, he was holding a Bloodstained Button (血のついたボタン chi no tsuita botan) in his right hand. Next, examine the camera. Cameron only took one photo, which appears to show the moment when Huang was taken hostage. Cameron's Photo (亀井の写真 Kamei no shashin) is added to the Organizer. Examine the brick to receive the Murder weapon: Brick logic (凶器のレンガ Kyōki no renga). Finally, examine the mobile phone. Lang explains that, after Cameron saw Huang, he called his girlfriend, and left a message on her answering machine detailing what he saw. Kay plays back the recording:

 * "Hello, Jill? Are you asleep already? I'm in front of the facility now, but... something's not right. President Huang is here of all places. And what's more... Crap. The light just went off. I can barely see a thing now. I can't believe it, but it almost looks like he's being kidnapped. I thought I'd let you know... *thump*"

The noise suggests that Cameron was murdered while on the phone. The woman Cameron was calling was Jill Crane - this incident was what she was seeking revenge for. Cameron's Testimony (亀井の目撃証言 Kamei no mokugeki shōgen) is noted down in the Organizer. Go back, and examine the flowerbed left of the body. The orphanage had three gardens, each of which contained three square-shaped flowerbeds. Edgeworth notes that the arrangement looks familiar. The Flowerbeds (花壇 Kadan) are added to your Logic. You also notice a bright yellow flower - a Lion Lily, the same type Courtney gave to Huang. Franziska informs you that, in the language of flowers, a lion lily represents the bond between parent and child. Is this merely a coincidence...? Connect the Flowerbeds (花壇) to Three footprints (３つの足あと). The locations of the three footprints match the locations of the flowerbeds to the left of the orphanage. You have a piece of evidence that explains why he dug in those specific locations: present the Report on Knightley (内藤についての報告書). The report mentions "that thing he laid to rest near the flowerbed". It doesn't say what "that thing" is, though. What did Blaise dig up? (バンサイがほりだしたもの Bansai ga horidashita mono) is added to your Logic.

Examine the left pillar by the orphanage's door. It shows signs of fire damage. According to the case files, one of the children spilled kerosene and set it on fire as a prank. As a result, there are no footprints by the entrance to the orphanage. The information on the Fire (火事 Kaji) is added to the Organizer.

Examine the two sets of footprints. The ones on the left appear to be Cameron's. The case files describe them as a size 11, and the prints matched Cameron's shoes. The set on the right are those of the culprit. They're an average size 7, so you won't get any hints from them about the culprit's identity. Finally, talk to Lang. He's deep in thought about the scene before him, and feels like he's seen it before somewhere. Edgeworth decides to leave him to his thoughts.

That's all you can deduce from this scene for now, so Edgeworth asks Kay to re-create the scene of the kidnapping that Cameron witnessed. In the updated scene, Cameron is standing by the flowerbeds with his killer behind him, and Huang and the kidnapper are standing just outside the gate. Lang explains that his father believed that the kidnapping and the orphanage facility were connected. In court, however, Blaise Debeste dismissed this theory. Lang suspects that he did this because he was one of the kidnappers. You receive the Was Blaise a kidnapper? logic (バンサイは誘拐犯？ Bansai wa yūkai-han?). Connect this to What did Blaise dig up? (バンサイがほりだしたもの). Kay has an idea - what if Blaise dug up the ransom money?

Examine the scene of the kidnapping. Examine the snowman's head. It's mostly intact, but there's something missing... Deduce from the Bloodstained Button (血のついたボタン) that this is probably its missing feature. And if that is the case, it creates a massive contradiction - namely, the location of the victim (被害者のいた場所 Higaisha no ita basho). The button is stained with blood, so Cameron must have grabbed it after he was attacked - for example, if he lost his balance and fell over. However, according to the recreation, Cameron was standing by the flowerbed when he was attacked, and the footprints only lead to the flowerbed. Edgeworth wonders if they really are Cameron's footprints, and asks Kay to change re-creations.

Examine the body again, and examine Cameron's shoes. They don't seem to fit him properly, meaning that they probably weren't actually his shoes. The Victim's Shoes (被害者のクツ higaisha no kutsu) are added to the Organizer. The footprints leading to the flowerbed are too big to be Cameron's, and the other set are too small, so none of the footprints are Cameron's. This makes it likely that he was carried here after he was killed. You receive the Body was moved logic (死体は移動されている Shitai wa idō sarete iru).

Examine the area around the now-melted snowman. There's a gap in the row of bricks. Examine it to receive the Missing brick logic (レンガが足りない Renga ga tarinai). Connect this to Murder weapon: Brick (凶器のレンガ) to receive the Brick near the snowman logic (雪だるまの近くのレンガ Yukidaruma no chikaku no renga). This is probably where the murder weapon was taken from. Connect this to Body was moved (死体は移動されている). Putting everything together, it means that Cameron was murdered near the snowman, and not near the flowerbeds. Kay updates the re-creation. This new information creates a bit of a pile-up around the snowman. Examine the scene. It looks like part of the re-creation is based on a fake piece of evidence. Which one? Present Cameron's Photo (亀井の写真). It's likely that the scene in the photo was staged after Cameron was killed, and that the original photos he took are long destroyed.

There is a clue in another piece of evidence as to the scene Cameron did witness, though: the testimony recorded on Jill Crane's answering machine. Check it again:

 * "Hello, Jill? Are you asleep already? I'm in front of the facility now, but... something's not right. President Huang is here of all places. And what's more... Crap. The light just went off. I can barely see a thing now. I can't believe it, but it almost looks like he's being kidnapped. I thought I'd let you know... *thump*"

Present the area around the left lamppost, which isn't working. In his testimony, Cameron mentioned a light that went out. Since he wasn't referring to the light by the snowman, there's only this one other possibility. Kay updates the re-creation once more. Huang and the kidnapper were standing just outside the orphanage, which proves that the kidnapping was connected to the orphanage, as Lang's father believed.

The other re-creation has probably also changed. Press the Y button, and choose Change Re-creation (再現を変更する Saigen o henkō suru). Examine the area where Cameron's body originally was, and examine the bloodstain. The blood probably belongs to someone else, and Blaise probably falsified the report stating that it was Cameron's. The blood was also found on Cameron's clothes, so it was spilled not long before Cameron was killed. The Mysterious Bloodstain (ナゾの血痕 nazo no kekkon) is added to the Organizer. Edgeworth suspects that this information creates a new contradiction somewhere. Highlight the bloodstain, and deduce from the Fire (火事) that the fire must have occurred after the incident, and not before, as was reported in the case files. If the fire occurred after the murder, then the child who started it would have seen the body and bloodstain. Lang orders his ex-subordinate to bring him the case files for the fire incident, and the evidence his father had collected on the SS-5 incident. Lang has just remembered where he recognises the scene from - a drawing his father had collected as evidence.

Outside Grand Tower - Tower Plaza / ビッグタワー前広場
Kay shuts down the re-creation, and shortly after, Lang's subordinate returns. He shows you a photo of the Child's Drawing (子供の絵 kodomo no e), which is exactly what Lang was thinking of. Edgeworth is certain that the child who drew this is the child who started the fire. Edgeworth also reads the files on the fire incident. They state that the child who started the fire snuck out of bed on the night of the incident, and "went missing" a few days later - he probably saw too much. The boy left behind some pieces of evidence, including one very familiar object. When asked what it's connected to, present the Moozilla Doll (ボルモスのぬいぐるみ). The object the boy left behind is the missing horn from Huang's Moozilla toy. Edgeworth inserts the horn into the Moozilla doll, and plays back the recording.

 * ".......Mr. Huang. It's Amy. It's been a while. I saw the news that you would be coming to this country... I was really nervous about doing this, but I decided to send you a message..."

Courtney demands that you stop the playback, but you let it play on anyway.

 * "It's a boy... Your son. He's just been born. I'm sorry. That's all I wanted to tell you. His name is John. John Marsh... It's a fine name for him, don't you think? ... I'll be waiting in the courtyard of the orphanage at midnight on February 9th. Even if it's just once, I want John to be able to meet you. I'm sorry if I'm being selfish, but... I'll be waiting."

"John Marsh"... So President Huang was his father? Courtney admits that John is not really her son, but is, in fact, adopted. His real mother, Courtney's cousin, died five years ago. John never knew his father's identity, until now. She worked as a diplomat in Zheng Fa, where she met Huang. After returning to this country, she began working at the orphanage. In the end, however, she was unable to meet with Huang, as she was being followed. Courtney's reason for meeting with Huang was to tell him about her cousin's death, and about John. Lang's subordinate interrupts with another message from Zheng Fa: Huang's will. In it, Huang acknowledges John as his son. On hearing this, John runs off in the direction of the film lot...

Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout/Middle, Part 2

The investigators eventually find John at the film lot, by the spot where Huang's body was found. John blames himself for his father's death, but Courtney tries her best to comfort him. Edgeworth asks Lang what he thinks of what the re-creation has revealed.

Rebuttal: Truth of the SS-5 Incident / 追求　～ＳＳ－５号事件の真相～
Present the Mysterious Bloodstain (ナゾの血痕) on the fourth statement. The blood by the flowerbed didn't belong to Cameron, so whose was it? The evidence suggests that a second person was murdered 12 years ago, but which specific piece remains to show what exactly happened? Present the Child's Drawing (子供の絵). The boy who drew the picture, and who set the fire, disappeared because he saw something he wasn't supposed to see... The person to the right in the drawing is clearly President Huang, but who is the other person? Present Sirhan Dogen's profile (鳳院坊　了賢). Dogen, the blind assassin, was sent to kill the president. If the president was killed 12 years ago, and killed again last night, then there were actually two presidents. How would this be possible? Choose One of them was a body double (ホンモノと影武者 Honmono to kagemusha). Lang wants you to provide evidence that there were two presidents. Present the SS-5 Incident Files (ＳＳ－５号事件の資料). The files state that Huang was at the embassy until midnight, but the recording on the Moozilla doll states that he also visited the orphanage at midnight. This should be impossible... unless there were two presidents.

Lang asks who hired Dogen to kill Huang. Edgeworth says that you must first look at the piece of evidence that was proven fake earlier. Present Cameron's Photo (亀井の写真). Cameron was murdered because he witnessed the murder of Huang, so the photo must have been taken after the real Huang's death. Therefore, it's probable that the body double hired Dogen. Lang now asks where the real Huang's body disappeared to. Present the Monster's Footprints (怪獣の足跡). Blaise didn't dig up the ransom money - he dug up Huang's body, and he had to do it now, before construction began on the film lot. Forensics are called in. The officer reports that Huang's remains were found in Blaise Debeste's house.

Edgeworth reviews what is known so far. The real President Huang went to the orphanage to meet his son, but instead was greeted by Sirhan Dogen, who killed him. Afterwards, the kidnappers moved the body to the rear courtyard, where it was buried. Jack Cameron witnessed the body being moved, and was murdered as a result by the body double. His body was then moved to the place where it was found, by the flowerbed. Kay asks how the body double managed to not leave behind footprints. Present the Victim's Shoes (被害者のクツ). The body double probably stepped in the footprints left by the real Huang as he entered the orphanage. The "kidnapping" was staged because Cameron had left behind a message on Jill Crane's answering machine, in which he claimed that Huang was being kidnapped. Lang suspects that his father knew the real Huang was dead, but decided not to reveal the truth, since it would have caused chaos in Zheng Fa.

Just then, someone else arrives on the scene. "Is that really the case, I wonder?" A bell rings, heralding the arrival of Sirhan Dogen. Dogen says he is searching for an "acolyte" of his, the person in the red raincoat that you've been searching for all along. Twelve years ago, this person saved Dogen's life...

Dogen's Testimony: Dogen's Savior / 了賢の証言　～了賢を助けた者～
Dogen recalls what the body double said to him as he requested Huang's murder. The body double faced endless murder attempts directed at the real president, while never actually holding any of the power of the office of president. The double planned to kill the president, by using Amy Marsh, the mother of his son, to draw him out. He used Blaise to find Amy, and then waited for Amy to make contact with Huang. Roland was bribed into cooperating, in order to obtain the use of the orphanage to stage the crime.

As for Dogen's "acolyte", Dogen says that he set the fire to help Dogen escape, not as a prank. Blaise and Roland were planning to kill Dogen, to prevent him from ever revealing the truth. The "acolyte" overheard this, and set the fire to distract them and cover up Dogen's footprints, while Dogen made his escape.

Rebuttal: Dogen's Savior / 追求　～了賢を助けた者～
Press on the fourth statement. Dogen says that he first met the "acolyte" 18 years ago, on the 24th of December. On that day, Dogen saved the boy's life. Dogen brought his dog out for a walk, when the dog found two young boys trapped in a car. Dogen freed the boys, and brought them to a nearby orphanage. Is there anything unusual in that story? Choose There is something (ある Aru), then choose The date (日付 Hidzuke). The 24th of December is a date that has come up in another case... Present the IS-7 Incident Documents (ＩＳ－７号事件の資料). In the IS-7 incident, two children went missing - the sons of the murderer and his victim. Dogen says that one of the boys he found was tied up. The two boys had lost their memories by the time Dogen found them, but finally the truth has come to light. Dogen testifies about his relationship with his "acolyte".

Dogen’s Testimony: Dogen and the "Acolyte" / 了賢の証言　～了賢と”コゾウ”その後～
Dogen explains that he knew about John all along. When he went to the orphanage to kill Huang, Huang played the recording on the Moozilla doll, and pleaded, not to be spared, but to be allowed to live long enough to see his son. Huang told Dogen that he planned to acknowledge John as his son, and that he had already made preparations regarding this - the will he left in the care of the Lang clan. Years later, when Dogen ended up in Roland's prison, he used this information to blackmail Roland.

Rebuttal: Dogen and the "Acolyte" / 追求　～了賢と”コゾウ”その後～
Press on the first statement. Dogen says he used a post-office box to contact the "acolyte". Their main form of communication was via correspondence chess moves. The Correspondence Chess Memo (通信チェスの紙 tsūshin chesu no kami) is added to the Organizer. If you recall, Dogen's opponent was Horace Knightley. Is there evidence connecting him to the IS-7 incident? Present Knightley's Mementos (内藤の遺品). When asked which one you want to look at, choose the ring (指輪 Yubiwa). Ray recognises the pattern on the ring - it's Pierre Hoquet's seal. This means that Knightley was Dover's son. But Knightley is dead, so he can't be the mastermind, surely? Dogen returns to his testimony, with another statement added on at the end:

 * Writing letters in braille can be a rather enjoyable pastime.
 * 点字で手紙を書くていうのも、なかなか楽しいものだったのじゃが.

On this statement, present the Correspondence Chess Memo (通信チェスの紙). Dogen is surprised to learn that the memo you found in Knightley's cell was typed out with a word processor. This means someone else must have been acting as a middleman between Dogen and Knightley - they received Dogen's letters in braille, and typed them up with a word processor before sending them to Knightley, and vice versa. Dogen confirms that all letters he received were written in braille. Therefore, this middleman is the true mastermind - Dane Gustavia's son. You recall a certain person's words:

 * "Well, we're the only friends either of us has had since childhood... He was... the same as me. We never had real families."

Have you figured it out? When asked who the mastermind, the person in the red raincoat who has been pulling all the strings since 12 years ago, is, present...

Simon Keyes' profile (猿代 草太).

The mastermind / 黒幕
Simon sent the letter to "Jill Crane", tricking Blaise Debeste into believing she had some connection to Kay. Simon kidnapped John, and hid him in the warehouse near the Sunshine Coliseum. Simon planted the bug on you, in Kay's Yatagarasu's badge. And Simon was the one who kidnapped Kay, and brought her to the top of the Grand Tower. But how did he do that without being seen?

Edgeworth has a sudden realisation: the giant monster. The key to solving the case is in discovering the truth behind the "monster" Nicole claims to have heard, and Lotta claims to have seen. Edgeworth asks Nicole to play her tape again. He then asks to see Lotta's photo again, and asks Gumshoe to examine it with Mr. Analysis. Zoom in (拡大) on the upper left section, and present what appears to be the monster's eye, visible behind the blinds. Edgeworth's suspicions are confirmed. He shows a flyer for the Berry Big Circus. In it is a large hot-air balloon in the shape of a lion's head. This balloon is the true identity of Lotta's "Giant Monster", and the sound Nicole recorded is simply the burner of the balloon. Simon used the hot-air balloon to carry Kay to the roof of the Grand Tower!

Dogen has heard all he needs to hear, and tries to leave, but John notices him. Before he can do anything, though, Edgeworth is attacked by Dogen's dog, and in the commotion that ensues, Dogen escapes. Luckily, Edgeworth is unharmed. Simon is probably rehearsing at the circus tent right now. Edgeworth asks Lang to locate the hot-air balloon, and also asks Gumshoe to investigate further into the kidnapping incident. He also tells Kay to be prepared to call for backup, since the assistance of "a certain someone" may be necessary... Finally, it's time to bring down the mastermind once and for all.


text:
Gyakuten Kenji 2/Episode 5: The Grand Turnabout/End

The group of investigators rush to the Berry Big Circus' storage tent, where Simon and Regina are preparing for the day's circus performance. Simon says he's happy that Edgeworth came to watch the show, and hopes he'll be impressed by it... but Edgeworth has had enough of Simon's façade. He goes straight on the attack, asking Regina who is in charge of the circus' hot-air balloon. Regina says that Simon is in charge of it. Simon says he took the balloon out two nights ago for practice, despite not being "much of a pilot". Edgeworth challenges this, and claims that Simon used the balloon to carry Kay to the roof of the Grand Tower, and frame her for Jill Crane's murder. He also accuses Simon of John's kidnapping.

Simon tries to play the sympathy card, begging Edgeworth and Kay to believe him, like they did when he was accused of killing Knightley. Kay is almost convinced, but Edgeworth sees right through it, and indicts Simon. Simon finally drops the act, revealing his true self. He isn't owning up to anything just yet, though - he's just "a little upset".

Rebuttal: Balloon Practice / 追求　～バルーンの練習～
Press on the first statement. Simon says he launches the balloon from the park by the Sunshine Coliseum. He carries it there in a truck, which he last used two days ago. He adds another statement to his testimony:

 * The last time I took the truck and the balloon out was two days ago.
 * バルーンとカゴを積んだトラックを出したのも一昨日が最後でしたよ.

On this statement, present the Blue Truck (青いトラック). You saw a truck outside the tower earlier today, so if that is Simon's truck, his testimony is a lie.

Lang arrives at this point, accompanied by Ema Skye. Lang has found what Edgeworth was looking for: the Lion Balloon (ライオンのバルーン raion no barūn), which was contained in a blue truck in a nearby parking area. Is there anything you can use to prove that this is the truck you saw? Edgeworth remembers touching the truck, so you could try dusting for fingerprints (指紋検出 Shimon kenshutsu). When asked whose fingerprints you're looking for, choose Miles' fingerprints (御剣　怜侍 Mitsurugi Reiji). Ema decides to let you do the dusting yourself. First, spread some aluminium powder on the given area with the Stylus, then blow into the microphone to blow away the excess. Cover as much of the screen as possible before blowing the powder away, and you should uncover a clear fingerprint. Ema runs a test on it - it's a perfect match with Edgeworth's prints. This means that Simon's truck was seen at the scene of two separate kidnappings - but Simon claims this is just a coincidence. You, however, have evidence that proves that both kidnappings were carried out by the same person. Present the Sleeping Drugs (睡眠薬). However, that merely proves that the same sleeping drugs were used on Kay and John. It isn't enough to connect Simon to both crimes.

Ray and Kay interrupt to buy you some time to think. You need to find evidence, not necessarily connected to the kidnappings, that can connect Simon to the "acolyte" Dogen was searching for. Present the Correspondence Chess Memo (通信チェスの紙). Knightley's chess partner was Dogen, but there was someone else in the middle, translating their letters between text and braille - Simon, working to make it look like Knightley had some connection to Dogen, so that Roland would kill Knightley. Without any letters from either Knightley or Dogen, though, you can't prove that Simon was the middleman... until Regina pipes up, with a letter to Simon, from Knightley. It's a correspondence chess letter, dated the day before Knightley's murder, and it proves that Simon was the middleman between Knightley and Dogen.

Kay wonders why Simon would set up his friend like that, but Simon says he hasn't considered Knightley a friend since 18 years ago - the day of the IS-7 incident. Knightley's father forced him to tie up Simon, so that Simon would be unable to attend the final of the dessert contest and help his father. But then, Simon claims, Knightley's father murdered his father. Simon believes his father was Isaac Dover... but was that really the case? Present Knightley's Mementos (内藤の遺品). The ring was made from the seal of Pierre Hoquet, also known as Isaac Dover - Horace Knightley's father. Simon is stunned, and wonders if all his scheming, and following Dogen, was for nothing.

Simon finally admits it - he's the mastermind behind the case. He witnessed the assassination of the real President Huang, but as a result, was interrogated endlessly by Roland over what he knew. Eventually, he ran away from the orphanage. While he was on the run, he was tracked by Blaise's henchmen. He felt that he had no allies in the world, save for Dogen. As for the police, they would have just thrown away any evidence that might incriminate Blaise or Roland - like what happened in Roland's trial today. To prevent Roland from being found innocent, Simon kidnapped John, in order to force a guilty verdict even if the evidence had disappeared. His motive for all of this was to exact revenge on the people he blamed most for what his life had become - but without actually killing any of them himself. All he did was drop a few hints here and there - such as telling Jill Crane about the black market auctions, so she could confront Blaise Debeste... and Edgeworth was his final pawn. He just needed to draw Edgeworth into each case, so that Edgeworth would find the truth, and bring Roland and Blaise's crimes to light.

Simon's Testimony: Instigating Murder? / 草太の証言　～殺人を教唆（きょうさ）したか～
Simon's starting to get bored with your questioning, so he decides to liven things up with a little extra punishment for presenting incorrect evidence - you'll now lose 30% of your health meter.

Rebuttal: Instigating Murder? / 追求　～殺人を教唆（きょうさ）したか～
On the fourth statement, present Nicole's Tape Recorder (速水の録音テープ). Nicole had tapped the wireless signal from the bug that was planted in the Yatagarasu's Badge, and recorded the conversation you had with the mastermind earlier, in which he clearly said, "I was the one who ordered Blaise Debeste to kill Jill Crane"... but unfortunately, the recording cuts off just before the critical part of the conversation. Simon switched off the bug when he made the phone call, so Nicole's recording didn't pick up anything significant. He figured out about the wiretapping when he discovered that Nicole knew about the kidnapping. Is that as far as it goes?

Ray and Franziska ask if Kay has any ideas, since she was the only person to come into contact with Simon. This gives Edgeworth another idea. He asks Nicole how long she has been recording from the bug. She says she started about two nights ago. In that case, when could a conversation with Simon have been recorded? Choose Two nights ago (一昨日の夜 Ototoi no yoru). Nicole plays the recording from then... "..... *BANG*... *CLANG*" Was that a gunshot? When asked to present evidence that shows the relevance of the gunshot, present the Crime Scene Notes (王　帝君の解剖記録). Gunpowder residue was found on "Huang"'s hand, indicating that he fired a gun. When Kay was being carried to the roof of the tower, there were two people already there - Courtney and the body double. The double asked Courtney to leave before him, after which he fired a gunshot. Lang points out that the shot is followed by a *CLANG* sound - the bullet must have hit something. When asked what, present the Lion Balloon (ライオンのバルーン). The bullet probably hit the balloon's basket. You examine the basket. Rotate around to the underside of the basket, and examine the bullet hole. Simon finally agrees to testify about the events of two nights ago.

Rebuttal: Two Nights Ago / 追求　～一昨日の夜、屋上にて～
Press on the fourth statement. Simon says he tried to escape when the body double shot at him. When asked, choose There is a problem (モンダイがある Mondai ga aru). He had to have set Kay down before leaving, so he couldn't have fled straight away. Simon says the body double escaped into the 51st floor hatch after firing a single shot, and adds another statement to his testimony:

 * After the double fired one shot, he entered the hatch to the 51st floor.
 * 大統領は、１発撃ったあと、５１階に通じるハッチに入ったよ.

On this statement, present Lotta's Testimony (ナツミの証言書). Lotta was staking out the 51st floor two nights ago, but she never saw the body double entering the storeroom. If he didn't use either the elevator or the 51st floor, there is only one other way the body double could have left the tower. Present the Lion Balloon (ライオンのバルーン). Simon objects, pointing out that there was a short span of time during which Lotta was unconscious. He suggests that the body double simply hid until Lotta fainted, and then entered the storeroom. He then tries to pin the body double's murder on John, saying that John knew the truth about his real father's identity all along - because Simon told him about it - and he killed the body double as revenge. Simon argues this point further. Let the final showdown begin...

Simon's Testimony: The Murder of the Double / 草太の証言　～大統領殺害犯について～
Since it's the final testimony, Simon decides to add extra spice to your punishment for incorrect evidence - this time, you'll lose a whole 50% of your health meter if you get it wrong. Think through each and every statement and piece of evidence carefully before moving. Ray advises Edgeworth to remember his father's words - "remain calm in a pinch, and smile in the face of danger"... He suggests turning your logic around - think not of whether or not the body double used the balloon, but rather, consider that if he did, what circumstances would have enabled him to?

Rebuttal: The Murder of the Double / 追求　～大統領殺害犯について～
On the fourth statement, present the Lion Balloon (ライオンのバルーン). The body double was killed by a monster... not Moozilla, but another monster, one under Simon's control - the hot-air balloon. He was crushed by the balloon while he was on the roof of the tower, and Simon carried the body down in his balloon after the fact. However, if the double was killed two nights ago, that would contradict the autopsy report, which states that the time of death was late last night. Did Simon do something to throw off the time of death? Simon "thanks" you for bringing down Dane Gustavia, the culprit of the IS-7 incident... and from this, Edgeworth has an idea. Gustavia killed Dover, and hid the body in a block of ice to throw off the time of death... Has his son used the same trick? When asked where Simon hid the body, present the Sunshine Warehouse (ひのまる倉庫). John was held in a refrigerated warehouse - the same place where Simon froze and hid the body. No matter how much Simon tries to deny the similarities to his father, they keep coming up...

With that, Simon Keyes' crimes have been brought to light... or not, as there's no decisive evidence. All seems lost, and Simon prepares to leave... until someone objects at the last second - it's Detective Gumshoe! Gumshoe investigated the warehouse in question, and found out that it's currently being rented by the Berry Big Circus. Regina says that the warehouse is meant to be used to store the animals' food, but Simon is the main person in charge of it. If the body had been found there, he would have been suspected straight away, so he moved the body to the film lot. Simon hasn't given up yet, as he wants decisive evidence that the hot-air balloon was the murder weapon. Present the Lion Balloon (ライオンのバルーン). If the body double was crushed by the balloon, there should be traces of another piece of evidence left on it. Present the Bouquet (花束). When the body double was crushed, the bouquet of flowers he was holding was squashed flat, pressing the pollen onto the front of his suit... and most probably into the underside of the balloon's basket as well. Ema tests the basket for pollen, and gets a reaction - there are traces of pollen from a yellow flower on the bottom of the basket.

Finally, the game is declared to be over... by the arrival of Shelly de Killer. De Killer explains that Simon was the one who hired him to assassinate "President Huang". Simon knew that "Huang" was actually the body double - according to de Killer, this means he was provided with a false target, which constitutes a breach of contract. And de Killer's punishment for such a transgression... is death. De Killer prepares to serve Simon his retribution, but is stopped by the ringing of a bell, and the arrival of Sirhan Dogen. Dogen asks de Killer to spare Simon's life, the life of the only person Sirhan Dogen saved from death. After a tense standoff, de Killer agrees, and disappears once more. Dogen prepares to return to his cell, but is confronted by John Marsh - the son of the man he killed 12 years ago. Dogen offers John his chance at revenge... but John refuses, and says it's not his place to punish Dogen for his crimes. And so, the final case comes to a close.

What really happened / 何が本当に起こった
18 years ago, the pastry chef Dane Gustavia and the sculptor Isaac Dover, better known by his professional name Pierre Hoquet, entered a dessert contest together. The two were acquainted through their sons, who were best friends at their elementary school. Gustavia and Dover agreed to work together to win the dessert contest, and split the prize, the Angel's Recipe, between themselves. However, on the day before the final, Dover stabbed Gustavia in the back, and broke off their partnership. He refused to help Gustavia design his dessert, and ordered his son to prevent Gustavia's son from attending the final. Gustavia, having lost his chance at winning the contest, tried to obtain the contents of the Angel's Recipe through other means, but was confronted by Dover. Dover tried to blackmail Gustavia about his taste disorder, and Gustavia murdered Dover in response. This incident became known as the IS-7 Incident, and the resulting court case ruined the lives of two men - the accused, Jeffrey Master, who was wrongfully imprisoned for 17 years, and his attorney Gregory Edgeworth, who was murdered in an elevator after the final day of the trial.

The two boys spent the final day of the contest trapped in Dover's car. At his father's demand, Dover's son had tied up Gustavia's son, and held him in the car, to prevent Gustavia's son from helping his father in the dessert contest. However, the harsh winter weather caused the car's door to freeze shut, trapping the two boys within. The two boys had almost frozen to death, when the assassin Sirhan Dogen happened across the car. The assassin decided to save the two boys, freeing them from the car. The two boys had lost much of their memories as a result of their experience, so Dogen brought them to a nearby orphanage.

Seven years later, Dogen returned to the same orphanage. He had been hired by Blaise Debeste, Patricia Roland, and a body double of President Huang of Zheng Fa, to assassinate the real President Huang, which would enable his body double to take his place. Huang had visited the orphanage at the request of his former lover, Amy Marsh, to meet his son, John Marsh. Instead of meeting his son, however, Huang was greeted by the blind assassin's bells, tolling for his death. Huang pleaded with Dogen to spare him for a short while longer, to allow him to meet his son. Dogen refused, however, and struck at Huang. Huang blocked the first blow with his Moozilla doll, which dislodged one of its horns. The second blow from Dogen, however, struck true, and ended Huang's life. The incident was witnessed by an unfortunate photographer, Jack Cameron, who was investigating Chief Prosecutor Debeste. Cameron called his girlfriend, Jill Crane, and described what he believed to be a kidnapping incident, but was murdered by Huang's body double with a brick. All of this was recorded on Crane's answering machine, and not even Debeste's authority could erase the recording, so, in order to cover their tracks, the three co-conspirators staged a fake kidnapping, and demanded a large ransom from the government of Zheng Fa. After the ransom was paid, the body double assumed the identity of President Huang, and returned to Zheng Fa.

The three conspirators then planned to dispose of Dogen, to prevent him from ever revealing the truth of Huang's death. However, this plan was discovered by one of the two boys Dogen had rescued seven years earlier, by now known as Simon Keyes. Simon decided to repay Dogen for saving his life, by setting off a fire outside the orphanage to distract the would-be killers. Dogen used this time to make his escape. Simon, meanwhile, collected the horn that was cut off Huang's Moozilla doll.

Some time after the "kidnapping" incident, Dai-Long Lang, of the police force of Zheng Fa, came to investigate the incident. He interviewed several children in the orphanage, but only one gave him any leads - Simon Keyes, who had drawn a picture of what he had witnessed. Lang almost certainly realised from the child's drawing that his president and close friend was dead, but chose to take the secret to his grave for the benefit of Zheng Fa, whose people respected and admired Huang greatly. In the end, Lang indicted Patricia Roland, the matron of the orphanage, for the murder of Jack Cameron. Owing to the scheming and cover-ups of Blaise Debeste, however, Roland received a not guilty verdict, and the case files on Huang's "kidnapping" - the SS-5 Incident - were placed under restriction for the next 12 years.

After the court case, Roland began harshly interrogating Simon, in an effort to discern exactly what the boy knew about Huang's death. Simon struggled with the constant interrogations, and would cry out at night for his father to come and save him - but the man never came, having abandoned his son years earlier in his pursuit of the title of world's greatest pastry chef. Eventually, Simon ran away from the orphanage, leaving behind the horn of the Moozilla doll. Unable to turn to the police, who would have simply disposed of any evidence under orders from Blaise Debeste, and being followed constantly by Blaise’s henchmen, Simon came to lose trust completely in other people, and decided instead to take the issue into his own hands.

At some point over the following 12 years, Simon regained some of his memories. He did not recollect all of the details, however, and ended up confusing certain critical elements - most significantly, the identity of his father. Simon believed that his father was the murdered sculptor, Isaac Dover, and that the father of his close friend, Horace Knightley, was Dane Gustavia - Dover's murderer. Due to this mixed-up memory, Simon developed an urge to avenge his "father", by killing who he believed to be the son of his father's murderer. Simon also kept in contact with his saviour, Sirhan Dogen, through the medium of correspondence chess. He would receive the letters written by Dogen in braille, and type them out in a word processor, before passing the messages on to Knightley. Knightley would then make his move, and pass the message on to Simon, who converted it to braille before returning it to Dogen. Both Dogen and Knightley believed they were actually playing Simon, but this was in actuality part of Simon's plan to get revenge on Roland and avenge his "father", by creating a connection between Knightley and Dogen. Simon knew that, if Roland was examining the letters Dogen received, she would eventually be led to Knightley, and would kill him under the belief that he was one of Dogen's henchmen.

Simon suggested to Knightley the fake assassination attempt at Gourd Lake. He did not expect Knightley killing Ethan Rooke, but this event played directly into Simon's hands nonetheless. Knightley was arrested and charged for Rooke's murder and attempting to assassinate the president for real, thanks to Blaise Debeste, and sent to the local detention center - the warden of which was none other than Patricia Roland. Roland had connected Knightley to Dogen, as planned, and murdered Knightley during an interrogation session. Blaise Debeste again tried to interfere, by removing the highly competent prosecutor Miles Edgeworth from the case, and instead placing his less talented son, Sebastian, in charge. Sebastian arrested Simon for Knightley's murder, but Edgeworth, in his desire to reveal the truth, instead investigated while acting as assistant to Simon's defence attorney, Raymond Shields. Edgeworth eventually uncovered the truth, and Roland was arrested for Knightley's murder, putting Simon's scheme back on track.

With Roland out of the way, Simon moved on to Blaise Debeste. He communicated anonymously with both Debeste and Jill Crane, the girlfriend of the late Jack Cameron, who had been seeking revenge for Cameron's death. Simon informed Crane of Blaise's involvement with the black market auctions that had been taking place in the Grand Tower, and Crane used this information to obtain a place as a customer at one of the auctions. She planned to win a bid for an item at the auction, and kill Blaise while the two went to the storeroom to finalise the sale. Unfortunately for her, Simon had also informed Blaise that Crane was planning to kill him. When Crane came to exact her revenge on Blaise, he had already prepared an elaborate scheme to murder her and cover up her death.

Simon knew that Blaise Debeste would kill Jill Crane. This meant that he needed to be caught before he could cover up the murder. To ensure that this would happen, Simon invited Edgeworth's assistant, Kay Faraday, to Gourd Lake Park, where he drugged her with sleeping pills, and planted a bug inside her Yatagarasu's Badge. He loaded Kay into his hot-air balloon, in order to bring her to the roof of the Grand Tower. Simon had communicated with Crane as "Kay", and planned to plant those letters on her afterwards. When Simon reached the roof of the tower, however, he saw something unexpected - the fake President Huang, speaking to Judge Justine Courtney. The body double asked Courtney to leave the viewing platform, after which he pulled out a gun, and fired on Simon's balloon, striking the bottom of the basket. Simon then took this opportunity to claim revenge on the last of the three partners in crime, by landing the balloon on top of the fake Huang, crushing him to death. He then deposited Kay on the roof of the tower and planted the fake letters on her, knowing Debeste would try to pin the murder on her, and that this would lure Edgeworth to the case.

Simon now had the body of a "president" to dispose of. If the body was found then, it would draw attention away from the other incident he had planned - Crane's murder. To solve this issue, he brought the body to a nearby refrigerated warehouse, where he stored the body overnight - this also had the effect of making the time of death appear to be a day later than it actually was. The next night, Simon brought the body to the film lot outside the Grand Tower, where he spotted John Marsh rehearsing for the film that was under production. John had set up a heater on the roof of the nearby building, which had set fire to the legs of the stand holding up a large Moozilla model, causing the model head to fall. Simon used this as an opportunity to frame John for the murder, by placing the body near where the Moozilla head had landed, making it appear as if the Moozilla head was the murder weapon.

As expected, Miles Edgeworth proved that Blaise Debeste was responsible for the murder of Jill Crane, and shortly after, the fake Huang's body was discovered in the film lot. Edgeworth decided to investigate this new mystery as well. Meanwhile, at the courthouse, the trial of Patricia Roland for Horace Knightley's murder was due to begin. Wanting to ensure that Roland was found guilty, Simon kidnapped John, and planned to use him to force Judge Courtney to hand down a guilty verdict. However, Blaise had a similar plan - to kidnap John in order to force a not guilty verdict - and his demand reached Courtney first. Blaise's henchmen kidnapped the wrong boy - Sebastian Debeste - but Courtney did not know this, and felt forced to do as Blaise demanded. Luckily, Edgeworth managed to locate both Sebastian and John, freeing Courtney from both kidnappers' demands, and allowing her to hand down the correct verdict to Patricia Roland - guilty. The case also publicly brought to light Blaise Debeste's crimes, and he was stripped of all authority, thus lifting the restrictions he had placed on the SS-5 incident's case files.

Now able to access the case files of the SS-5 incident, Edgeworth was able to discover the truth behind the deaths of Jack Cameron and the real President Huang. He realised that Dogen had killed Huang under the request of Huang's body double, and, using testimony obtained from Dogen himself, who had absconded from prison, finally realised that Simon Keyes was the true mastermind behind the events of the past few weeks. Simon proved a tough opponent, able to defeat every accusation Edgeworth threw at him simply because he had not directly killed anyone, or even ordered any of their murders - he had merely nudged a few people in the directions he wanted them to go in, and they did the rest themselves. However, Simon made one fatal error - he failed to account for the pollen from the lion lily flowers the body double had been holding at the time of his death. The pollen had attached itself to the bottom of his hot-air balloon, and a simple forensic test dealt the final, fatal blow to Simon's 12 years of scheming.

Epilogue / 結語
Edgeworth once again stands in the P.I.C. meeting room, alongside Kay, Gumshoe, Ray, and Courtney. Edgeworth has finally reached a decision about which path he wants to walk in life. To fight crime as a prosecutor, or to save people as a defence attorney... Edgeworth has decided that he wants to save people... as a prosecutor. Simon Keyes was a victim as well, but he had nobody to turn to, and lost faith in other people. Edgeworth was once in a similar position - he was once a ruthless prosecutor who did whatever he could to get every defendant found guilty - but thanks to his friends, he saw the error of his ways. The law is not always correct - there are many contradictions, and in the hands of someone like Blaise Debeste, it can be used for evil. Edgeworth's decision is that he wants to fight the contradictions of the law, as a prosecutor. With that, Judge Courtney formally returns to Edgeworth his Prosecutor's Badge. The newly-reborn Prosecutor Edgeworth swears to reach the truth waiting at the end of his new path in life, and that if anyone would stand in his way, he has just one word to say to them... Objection!

Congratulations, you've reached the end of Gyakuten Kenji 2, the second of Edgeworth's adventures! Sit back and enjoy the closing credits. That's all from Miles Edgeworth for now... or is it? You'll have to play the next game in the series to find out!

Mario franchise strategy guide/Characters/FLUDD

FLUDD (Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device) is a fictional, speech-capable, and portable water pump worn by Mario like a backpack in the video game Super Mario Sunshine for the Nintendo GameCube. Created by Professor E. Gadd, FLUDD is Mario's primary tool for saving Isle Delfino from evil. Mario uses this FLUDD to battle enemies, wash away graffiti, and hover himself across gaps to safety.

Nozzles
FLUDD has four different nozzles that can be used. The Squirt Nozzle is always available, but secondary Nozzles must be switched by finding the appropriate color of Nozzle box.

 * The Squirt Nozzle is used to wash off graffiti or sludge, hurt enemies, and control certain levers. The squirt nozzle cannot be traded for any other nozzle.
 * The Hover Nozzle lets Mario float across gaps and access seemingly unreachable areas and is found in blue boxes.
 * The Rocket Nozzle is used to blast Mario high into the air to reach platforms inaccessible by normal jumps and is found in red boxes.
 * The Turbo Nozzle allows Mario to shoot forward on either ground or water at an immense speed and can be used to break some barriers. The Turbo Nozzle can be used indefinitely when on water and is found in gray boxes.

Origins
Little is known about where FLUDD came from, except that it was created by Professor E. Gadd, a paranormal scientist whose technology aided Luigi in Luigi's Mansion. Evidence of this includes the fact that E. Gadd's logo is depicted on FLUDD's funnel. FLUDD also seems to be quite shocked after Bowser Jr. explains how he obtained his magic brush (also depicting the professor's logo, indicating he made the brush as well) from "a strange old man in a white coat," which fits E. Gadd's description. Why the Professor created a back-mounted water gun and a magic brushing staff is unknown. The Professor can be considered a rather odd individual. It is also unknown as to whether or not Mario's FLUDD and Bowser Jr's magic brush are one of a kind. Some accounts state that they are both custom made, but the matter remains a mystery.

Mario first met FLUDD after a harsh landing on the Isle Delfino air strip. As there seemed to be a mass amount of dangerous graffiti on the landing strip (compliments of Shadow Mario), Mario decided to go get help. Once he came across FLUDD at the airport's shopping center, they got rid of the graffiti. After Mario was let out of jail, Mario used FLUDD again and again to clean up Isle Delfino.

Some claim that FLUDD has some relation to the "Poltergust 3000", an earlier creation which the Professor loaned to Luigi in Luigi's Mansion to help him capture ghosts. Under some circumstances (that is, if the player obtains the Water Medal and proceeds to capture a Water Ghost), the Poltergust could expel water, not unlike FLUDD.

Build
In keeping with the fantasy element of the Mario series, FLUDD is very advanced for a back-mounted water gun. Even though its primary function is to gather water in a tank and expel it for a number of uses, it also seems to have a built-in supercomputer as well. It can scan any one person to find out all sorts of information about them. During one part of the game it flashes back through some previous Mario games, showing him battling Bowser in Super Mario Bros., fighting Iggy Koopa in Super Mario World, and swinging Bowser by the tail from Super Mario 64. It is also capable of speech and independent thought, making it more of a character than just a tool used by one of the characters. It also appears to have a variety of built-in sensors, as it can be used to detect various toxic gasses before they affect Mario.

Use
Based on what is seen in Super Mario Sunshine, FLUDD apparently is used by strapping the belt around one's waist, and pushing down on the FLUDD's two "arms". This will cause the nozzle to expel water until the arms are returned to their default position, or the tank runs out of water. If Mario (or anyone else for that matter) does this while in a body of water, the water export will be limitless. The same function works for the three other nozzles.

Character
FLUDD's gender is unknown. As it is a machine, it may not even have one. Many see it as a female as it possesses a metallic feminine voice common among fictional machines. However, the game references it as a "he" at times. It constantly provides Mario with information about the Island, and tips about gameplay along the way. It seems to be very obedient and smart, typical for a robot, and seems much more interested in getting to the point and stopping Bowser than going around on unnecessary missions, which the more heroic Mario often finds himself in. In the end, they always end up with a Shine Sprite, which is necessary. During two missions, FLUDD gives public service announcements, stating "Remember to take good care of your teeth." and "Remember, always be kind to your pets" (the missions being to clean a Unagi's teeth and to cool off three Chain Chomp pups by 'taking' them to a spring, respectively).

FLUDD has appeared in Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Power Tennis. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, a reference to FLUDD can be seen when Professor E. Gadd invents the "Hydrogush 4000", sending a high-powered blast of water back through time to douse a raging volcano so Mario, Luigi, and their baby selves can enter. The Hydrogush 4000 is similar to FLUDD's head. A primitive FLUDD based device may have also appeared in Donkey Kong 3 (the modern version from Game and Watch Gallery 4), suggesting that FLUDD has gone through many various adjustments. Additionally, FLUDD like devices appear in WarioWare: Smooth Moves and a promotional for the upcoming game Mario Kart Arcade GP 2.

Real FLUDD History
Nintendo is known for including in their games many historical references that may serve as extra treats for those who know a lot about history or mythology. The FLUDD is no different. A man named Robert Fludd (1574-1637), a Paracelsian physician, alchemist, astrologer, and hermetic philosopher who was known for his inventions and studies of perpetual motion machines, published a folio of his works in 1618. In this portfolio were models of many machine designs, practical and fanciful, including water pumps of various kinds.
