Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 2: Turnabout Corner/Day 3 - Trial

In the lobby, Phoenix (who had just signed out from Hickfield) informs you that Alita will be today's witness! Why would she be testifying against her own fiancée? It looks like today's trial will bring out all of the answers.

Trial begins
Klavier calls up Alita to the stand. He wants to look at the case from a different angle, and Alita is the woman to tell. She reveals that Wocky had "plans" to kill Meraktis! Alita will describe in her testimony.

Alita's Testimony: Wocky's Plan
Thanks to the rifling marks, (fingerprints of a bullet) they were able to prove that the bullet did indeed come from the family pistol.

Wocky's Plan: Cross-Examination
Press on statement 5. When given the chance, say that There was another person that could have used the pistol. When asked who, Present Alita Tiala's Profile. Did she murder Meraktis for the fate of her future husband? She would be hesitant, so there is probably something else. Possibly a connection between her and the doctor. When asked what, Present Wocky's Chart. You can also present her sandals and present Wocky's Chart afterwards for the same results.

You ask Alita why her name is on the chart. Alita will cover herself by saying that she quit the clinic half-a-year ago. Afterwords, she had no connection to Meraktis. You now need to prove that she really did still have a connection. Present Alita's Sandals. Alita denies ever wearing them, but Klavier counters it by saying that her footprints are on them. Is he going against his witness? This will prove that she visited the clinic on the day of the murder.

Alita will testify about her visit to the clinic.

Alita's Testimony: The Meraktis Clinic
Klavier will point out a contradiction. If she brought her sandals to the clinic, why didn't she bring them back home? He suspects she brought a spare pair with her. Alita confirms this. No fair indeed, Apollo.

The Meraktis Clinic: Cross-Examination
Present Wocky's Chart on Alita's 4th statement. Meraktis knew that the operation on Wocky was a failure, so he wrote a false report and hid the truth in the safe. Alita somehow knew it also, as her name was signed as well. Alita will cover herself by saying it was the doctor's fault. She will now amend her testimony. You will notice your bracelet reacting. A habit! Trucy didn't notice however. It seems your senses are sharper than Trucy. It looks like you're on your own from here.

 * Why would I go to the clinic now for a half-year-old chart?

Use your bracelet on that statement:

 * Why would I go to the clinic now for a half-year-old chart?

Perceive her ring. She was fiddling with it as soon as she said now! Why? Probably because the chart was a present threat to her! When asked for proof, Present Wocky's Check-Up Report. Recently, Wocky went to his first health check-up since the operation. If Alita would knew that she would be in trouble if Wocky found out that she was in on it!

Alita will now admit into lying, however, she will say that he just went to the clinic to warn Meraktis about Wocky and leave. A new statement will be added.

 * Nothing happened at all. I warned him, and left.

Present the Bullet on that statement. A bullet was fired inside the safe from the gun that was stolen that day. Klavier will ask when. The bullet will be analyzed. The results came back as you hoped. According to the rifling marks, the bullet and the barrel of the gun match, proving that the bullet was dislodged on the day of the crime!

This could only mean one thing, someone was trying to threaten Meraktis. And the one who would do that, was Alita Tiala! She knew if she married Wocky, he would die within a few months. By then, she would inherit the fortune the Kitakis now hold. Just then, Wocky comes in, yelling at you into accusing Alita. He will admit that he killed Meraktis! Is he insane!? However, Alita laughs at Wocky. She will admit that she wanted to marry Wocky just to get the money.

Alita will testify more about her visit to the clinic.

Alita's Testimony: The Meraktis Clinic 2
Alita will admit that SHE was the one who broke in the clinic yesterday, but ran out because she heard you and Trucy come in.

The Meraktis Clinic 2: Cross-Examination
German translation: Präsentieren is Present. Press statement 5. Yesterday, you have proven that Meraktis was shot in the right temple, but in an impossible way. You are asked where the killer shot from. Choose Someplace else and then Present the noodle stand. When Meraktis was shot, his right temple was pointing at the stand!

This could mean that someone was hiding at the noodle stand. When asked for proof, say Well, I've got it. You can also choose Well, too bad. But you're just kidding! There's no penalty with that choice. Present the Slippers. There was a single print that matches the slipper. The killer might have thrown it away to hide it. Klavier now asks how the killer was able to fit in there. Remember, to fit in the stand, you would have to remove some things. Present the Bowl. You would have to remove all of the bowls in there to ensure that Alita fits in there.

You have now proven that Alita had opportunity and motive, now you have to learn why Meraktis was pulling the cart and why was Alita inside it.

One more testimony!

Tiala's Explanation: Cross-Examination
Use the bracelet on the 5th statement:

 * So I gave up and went home... All I did was talk to him!

Perceive her right hand on her scarf. When she said all she did was just "talk" she was playing around with her scarf, as if something else did happen when she talked with Meraktis. When asked what, Present the Lamp. Alita asks what it is and touching her scarf again. You request that Alita removes her scarf. You left her no choice. She removes it with great reluctance. It looks like a mark!

You come to the conclusion that Alita would go to the clinic to get the check-up report no matter what, even to kill Meraktis with a Kitaki pistol! When she threatened him, Meraktis attacked her in defense, by strangling her with the lamp's cable. Alita then lost consciousness...

...Which creates a new problem. If Alita was unconscious, how did she managed to sneak into the shack? Uh oh, it looks like you heard everything from her! You were so close! It looks like The Judge is about to end cross-examination... until...

Solving the Case
"Objection!" says Klavier. He asks one more question... Meraktis had "killed" Alita, so what did he do next? It seems you should know where this is going. Present the Noodle Stand. If Meraktis choked Alita unconscious, he panicked, thinking he had "killed" her. So what did he do? He stole Guy's noodle stand, which he put all of the bowls out of, to do what? To make room for Alita's "corpse" of course! He would use it to dispose of the "body"! Klavier objects, saying that there was a dead end at the park, so where did he go? You examine the map, Present the river. Meraktis was trying to throw the "body" into the river!

It looks like you got her, but then you are asked one more question. Meraktis owned a car right? If so, then he could have used that to dispose of the body, so why did he use the stand instead? Again, there are doubts in your claims, but then, an idea. What if the car didn't work? It worked when Meraktis went back to his garage that day, so how? When given the option, choose The car didn't run. When asked for proof, Present Trucy's Panties.

Recall what you have proven yesterday, some guy (Stickler) stole a girl's panties. The girl herself (Trucy) caught him and chased after him. The chase ended at Meraktis's garage, where Meraktis's car was. Seeing nothing else to do, Stickler sticked the panties into the car's exhaust pipe! Remember Klavier's mishap yesterday, his motorbike couldn't move, because something was jammed in his exhaust pipe! So after the panty-snatcher got away, Meraktis tried to move the cart, but couldn't because it wouldn't work, why, there were girl's panties in there of course! He would look for an alternative to carry Alita's body, such as the noodle stand!

At this point, Alita is left with no choice but to admit to the crime. She is arrested and The Judge announces the final verdict:

Wocky Kitaki is found...

What REALLY Happened
It all started six months ago, when badass gangster Wocky Kitaki went to deal with the Rivale family. Unfortunately, he was shot. He had to be taken to the hospital at Meraktis clinic. There, surgeon Pal Meraktis and nurse Alita Tiala discovered that the bullet was lodged right next to his heart. Knowing they were not skilled enough, they decided to stitch up Wocky and lie to the family that the surgery was a success, as letting the family know otherwise would be bad for them (Meraktis made a sweet and illegal deal with them once). He hid the papers in his safe and created a fake report. This gave Alita a plan. She would complain to Wocky about the job. Wocky said she should quit. Alita took his advice, if she could marry him. Once Wocky died after the marriage, she would inherit the fortune the family is holding. Wocky was discharged after the operation and Alita dismissed from her job.

Things really got started six months later. Wocky went through medical check-up. It was revealed that Meraktis had lied to them - the bullet was never removed, it was still lodged near Wocky's heart. Wocky became enraged and decided to kill Meraktis for revenge.

On the night of the crime, Meraktis was on his way home when he hit a pedestrian (Phoenix Wright, who only suffered a sprained ankle). The rear-view mirror was knocked off, along with a pile of paint cans, making a huge spill. He didn't stop but continued on home and parked the car in his garage.

Meanwhile, college student Wesley Stickler stole a girl's panties that were a prop in a magic trick, curious of how the trick worked. The girl (Trucy Wright) caught him and chased after him. Stickler eventually came to Meraktis's garage. Knowing there was nowhere to hide, he stuffed the panties into the car's exhaust pipe. He eventually got away and went to steal another pair.

Meanwhile, Alita noticed that Wocky finally found out about the operation cover-up. She feared that Wocky would find out about her involvement as well. She stole one of the guns from the Kitaki mansion and went to Meraktis Clinic. She took off her sandals in the reception and put on the hospital's slippers as required by the hospital. She went inside and started to threaten Meraktis. She held him at gunpoint and demanded he open the safe and give the chart report to her. Meraktis opened the safe, but then he jumped at her. Alita shot, but missed, hitting the back of the safe. Meraktis then took the lamp and strangled her with the wire. Alita passed out, and her red lipstick left a smudge on the wire. Meraktis panicked, thinking he had killed Alita. He tried to dispose of her body in his car, but it didn't work (with the exhaust pipe stuffed). So, as an alternative, he stole Guy Eldoon's noodle stand. (He was rivals with Guy. The reason he became a doctor and made that deal with the Kitakis was to beat Guy like he'd always done since pre-school.) Meraktis took the bowls from the stand and hid them in his clinic to make room for Alita's "corpse". He intended to throw the body into the river at People Park, so he pulled the stand there... where Wocky was waiting for him with a knife!

Meanwhile, Stickler, who had stolen another pair of panties (belonging to Plum Kitaki), came into the park from the north and witnessed the two men arguing.

As they were arguing, Meraktis was about to reveal to Wocky Alita's involvement in the cover-up. Meanwhile, inside the stand, Alita regained consciousness. She overheard the conversation and feared that Meraktis would expose her to Wocky. She couldn't allow him to tell anyone her secret, let alone her fiancé! She picked up the gun, Stickler called out, Wocky and Meraktis turned their heads towards him, and Alita discharged the bullet into his right temple, killing Meraktis instantly.

Wocky, in panic, dropped his knife and fled. Stickler ran off too, leaving the panties in the garbage. Finally alone, Alita came out of the stand, still wearing the hospital's slippers. One of the slippers stepped on a leaf in the grass. While fleeing, she also stepped through the paint that was spilled in the car accident earlier, and only after that did the leaf come loose, leaving a leaf-shaped mark in the paint on the slipper's sole. Finally, she threw the slippers into the trash.

After hearing of Wocky's arrest, Alita decided to hire an attorney before the family could do so. She hired fresh attorney, Apollo Justice, thinking he would mess up and get Wocky convicted. She also decided to make another attempt to steal the chart report. She broke into the office, only to run out without it again because Apollo and Trucy were about to enter. The next day would go badly for the nurse.

Turnabout Corner: Epilogue
Wocky doesn't seem too happy about losing Alita. Winfred then comes in and both he and Wocky naturally start arguing. You need to help Wocky understand why Winfred is trying to become a businessman. Present either Wocky's Chart or Check-Up Report. Recall what Plum said, the whole family needs a lot of money. It turns out Winfred is trying to find another doctor, one who could actually remove the bullet from Wocky's heart and wants to use clean money, not the kind that hurt Wocky.

Wocky responds by storming out in tears. Winfred seems very happy with you and invites you over for Kitaki Lime Pie. (This explains the apron).

The whole case ends, yet a lot of mysteries are left unsolved: the bracelet, the power Trucy showed you, and of course, that case seven years ago. In the next case, you will get a little bit closer to the answers of these mysteries.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 3: Turnabout Serenade/Day 1 - Investigation

Backstage Hallway
It turns out, you and Trucy had just watched the concert. Klavier had sent you tickets. You hated the noise, but Klavier is hard to not look at. You and Trucy decide to head in Klavier's dressing room.

Klavier's Dressing Room
Klavier, needless to say, is having a great time. He says that Lamiroir will be performing in the next act. She flew all of the way here for her "divine" voice. You then meet a rather large man with an impressive beard, who Klavier introduces him as Romein LeTouse, Lamiroir's manager and interpreter. You then hear a beautiful voice, speaking in nothing but symbols. It's Lamiroir herself. She is looking forward to sing in the concert, but not without Machi Tobaye, a wonderful pianist, who is blind. Lamiroir is singing one of Klavier's songs, "The Guitar Serenade".

The Guitar Serenade
You will now watch a video of The Guitar Serenade, here are the lyrics and basic visuals to the song:

Backstage Hallway (2)
You and Trucy talk about the act. You note on Klaviers guitar. Let's go see him.

Klavier's Dressing Room (2)
Klavier looks rather upset. He says "The Guitar Serenade" is ruined. But it was amazing! (On Trucy's account anyways) Examine the postcards on the lower table. A Postcard will be added to the Court Record.

Talk to Klavier:

 * The flaming guitar: It turns out he didn't mean to burn his guitar. He'd be bankrupt if he did so in all of his shows.

 * Lamiroir's song: Klavier will give you the Lyrics Sheet, which will be added to the Court Record.

Trucy and Klavier will leave for the final act. You stay behind. Move to the Backstage Hallway.

Backstage Hallway (3)
It's Ema! What is she doing here? Ema says she was called in by security, and needless to say she isn't happy. Talk to Ema if you want; she'll just throw Snackoos at you. You can examine the hallway and Ema does the same thing to you (because of her disdain with the rock prosecutor or "gimmerous fop" as she calls him). Talk about constantly getting hit by chocolate!

Examine the right door. You suddenly hear a loud BANG! And another BANG!! And then a CRASH!!! What's going on!? You head inside.

Lamiroir's Dressing Room
Here, a terrifying sight lies in front of you. It's LeTouse, lying in a pool of blood!!! Is he all right?!? Ema will let you watch the room as she calls for back-up.

Just then, a moan. It's LeTouse!! He tells you that he has been shot! He doesn't know who! All he could tell you that there was a witness. He could only say "siren" before finally passing, right before your eyes!

Just then, you hear something behind a door. Ema comes in and confirms that LeTouse is dead! "The witness is the siren". Remember this clue. You automatically head back to the hallway.

Backstage Hallway (4)
You hear from a guy (named Daryan) that everyone has been cleared from the stage. Klavier suggest anyone should not tell anyone that LeTouse was murdered. Ema goes back inside to investigate. Klavier will let you sign an Investigation Report, which is added to the Court Record.

Time to start investigating, and to find out who this "siren" is. Before you go, examine the transceiver headset that's still on near the door. Move back inside Lamiroir's Dressing Room.

Lamiroir's Dressing Room (2)
You see Ema in there of course. Talk to Ema:

 * The victim: Apparently, this is his first time in the country. Ema isn't quite sure about anyone's motives, but suspects Lamiroir did it. Ema has sent a request to Borginian Embassy to learn more about him.

 * The crime: You heard the gunshots and head in, only to see a dead body. By then however, the killer already left. Could he have disappeared through the window? It's impossible! Only a child would fit through there.

After you are done talking, Examine a spot on the lower left corner of the screen. It looks like a brooch. It looks very familiar. The Brooch will be added to the Court Record.

Pan right and Examine the revolver just left of LeTouse's body. It looks like the type the police would bring. Did someone bring it here and planned it from the start? The Revolver will be added to the Court Record.

Now Examine LeTouse's body. Ema lets you have a closer look. Examine the body's left hand. It looks like he is holding a key ring. Could it belong to the killer? It looks like a very unusual kind of ring, it's shaped like a heart. The Key Ring will be added to the Court Record.

Pan left and Present the Revolver. The thing is pretty heavy. Ema says it was fired twice. Ema will also say that something about it seems odd.

Talk to Ema about The murder weapon. Ema will say that the revolver is very heavy and big. So much so that it could dislocate someone's shoulder if discharged! Someone must have experience shooting such a huge weapon.

Ema thinks you are done with everything in here. She tells you to wait here until she comes back and leaves. Trucy, being a pest she is, wants to leave anyway. It looks like you have no choice. Move to The stage, accessible from the Backstage Hallway.

Backstage Hallway (5)
Along the way, you will see a man with a yellow outfit, similar to Trucy's. Who was he? Trucy doesn't seem to know him.

The stage
Klavier hasn't been much better since you last saw him. It seems he and a guitarist are arguing about who is missing a cue. As soon as they noticed you they change the subject. The guitarist is also Daryan Crescend, a detective at the criminal affairs.

Present the Key Ring. Klavier will instantly recognize it. It is his! He is shocked to hear that the victim was holding his keys.

Talk to Klavier:

 * The case: Klavier thinks you know more about the crime than him.

 * The Gavinners: Just a brief history lesson about the Gavinners, their connection to the police, and the fact that they debuted 7 years ago.

 * The missed cue: Klavier will show you a mixing board.

Klavier explains the mixing board.

You get 5 slides, representing each part you can move them up or down to put the volume higher or lower, respectively.. You get 4 parts of the section of the song. You can pause, fast forward, or rewind by using the buttons. When you have found who you think missed the cue choose either of the 5 parts and present it. In this case Present part #2. It was Daryan who missed his cue! The Mixing Board will be added to the Court Record.

 * Gavin's Troubles: The busted bike, the busted car, the busted guitar case, all connected to this key ring. The Key Ring will be updated.

The key ring was stolen, the guitar was set on fire, LeTouse was killed. Was Klavier just having a bad day, or was it all planned? Trucy and Klavier notices something weird through all of the unfortunate events, almost as if they have some sort of connection. Daryan denies that fact. When asked if you agree, say I have noticed. When asked for proof, Present the Lyrics Sheet. Everything in the song, were they all predictions? Alternatively, I haven't noticed has Trucy angry and pushing you to automatically take out the Lyrics Sheet.

 * The song's prediction: Let's look at the lyrics and recount the events:

 * "When you stole away the keys my heart held on so tight." Klavier's keys were stolen, all in a ring in the shape of the heart.

 * "Burning on in my heart. Fire. Burn my love away. All away." Some of Klavier's guitar was burned to crisp.

 * "Like a bullet of love. Fire. Take my life away. All away." LeTouse was shot dead.

It looked as if the lyrics inspired the criminal to do such crimes.

Daryan leaves to get more information about LeTouse. Klavier storms out, wanting nothing to do with this mystery. He tells you that Lamiroir is in his dressing room, with Machi.

Move to Gavinner's Dressing Room.

Backstage Hallway (6)
You run into the guy with the yellow clothing again. Trucy thinks she met this guy before. Just who is he?

Gavinners's Dressing Room (3)
You meet Lamiroir, who asks for what happened, speaking English no less. She reveals she wasn't born in the Republic of Borginia. It was LeTouse's idea to send her here. Anyways, you can't tell her what happened due to gag order. Machi WAS born Borginian, so he can't speak English (or so Lamiroir says). The reason Lamiroir wasn't able to speak in public is that it would damage her "exotic" image. Machi asks to leave and Lamiroir permits so.

Examine the postcard. Lamiroir tells you about its meaning. Then Present the Brooch you found earlier. Lamiroir reveals that the brooch is hers! The Brooch is updated in the Court Record.

Talk to Lamiroir:

 * Lamiroir: A history of Lamiroir's success. She once started singing in a Borginian restaurant. She then caught a producer's eye, and just like that, she is a celebrity. She travels around the world and turns sight into song, like "the landscape painter of sound". Lamiroir will says that in English, "Lamiroir" means "The Siren". (The what?)

 * Machi: Just a brief history of Machi and Lamiroir. He is blind, and always sticks close to her. Lamiroir was hesitant to let him travel at first, since he doesn't speak English.

 * Mr. LeTouse: Lamiroir doesn't really know about LeTouse, because he was her bodyguard for only three months. It was his idea that he came up with the "Siren of the Ballad" title. Just then, you ask Lamiroir something. Is she the "siren"? Lamiroir answers yes in Borginian terms. Looks like your finally getting answers!

 * The "Siren": When you found LeTouse, he said to you need to ask "the siren". Since Lamiroir is the siren, then she must be the witness! You ask her what she saw. Unfortunately, she doesn't answer, as it is too early to tell (No arrest, lack of authority, and not working with the police since you are an attorney).

Well, this is just dandy. Move to the Backstage Hallway.

Backstage Hallway (7)
You run into Ema, who is now even more upset! Apparently, while you were out against her orders (thanks to Trucy), LeTouse's body was stolen! You automatically go into Lamiroir's room.

Lamiroir's Dressing Room (3)
You see Klavier there and LeTouse's absence. Klavier says that all entrances and exits are locked, so the body won't leave. Daryan comes in and announces that his guitar is stolen. Now you have to find the body, and the guitar. Oh joy of joys.

Talk to Ema:

 * Disappearing act: Thanks to Trucy, you can make up to Ema by buying her ten bags or so of chocolate Snackoos in finding the body!

Move to The stage.

The stage (2)
You notice that the stage tower has risen. Examine the tower. You and Trucy (reluctantly because of your fear of heights) climb up to the top.

Upon reaching the top, you see something shocking. You find the three things you are looking for: LeTouse's body, the guitar... and Machi, lying unconscious on the top of the stage tower!

Wright Anything Agency
You and Trucy learned that Machi has been arrested for murder. Why?! Klavier comes in and tells you why, Machi's arrest was due to the fact that Lamiroir was invited as an ambassador of good will, so they want this case to be wrapped up quickly.

Klavier can't tell you how Machi was the possible killer (remember, he is a prosecutor) but he does tell you that Machi requested you as his attorney. He's waiting at the Detention Center of course, so you go there to question him, as Klavier questions Lamiroir.

Detention Center
You meet Machi and encounter a problem. Machi doesn't speak English and you don't understand the language (let alone not hearing of it). Machi doesn't have a interpreter either, so it's no use if you talk to him like this. But you should take note that he grips his arm like it is hurt...

It looks like you have no choice but to wait for tomorrow's trial. Hopefully things don't go too bad.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 3: Turnabout Serenade/Day 2 - Trial

You begin trial immediately. As Klavier gives his opening statements, a conversation will reveal that someone is terminally ill, so The Judge and Klavier would like to end trial very quickly. Klavier will say that LeTouse is killed by two gunshots from a large caliber revolver. LeTouse's Autopsy Report will be added to the Court Record. Klavier will next say that death wasn't immediate and presents a Crime Photo, which is added to the Court Record. Klavier will also say that the revolver was fired twice, once missing, and twice a direct hit, as seen in the Diagram, which is also added to the Court Record.

The Judge sees that the revolver is large enough to break a few bones. Klavier states that when the murder happened, there where two witnesses that heard the gunshots (You and Ema) both witnesses broke into the dressing room, only to see that the murderer wasn't there. It may seem impossible, but only Machi could have pulled it off. How so? Klavier will say that Machi did it under certain circumstances.

Ema is called to the stand. She will testify about those unusual circumstances.

Murderous Circumstances: Cross-Examination
Press on all statements:

 * 1st: Ema doesn't know why she was called, but Klavier explains that it was because of his stolen keys. How could those keys be at the victim's hand? Klavier wanted to make sure nothing else is stolen, so he calls Ema to look out for him.

 * 2nd: It was Klavier that gave her permission. Ema didn't let anyone else in.

 * 3rd: Ema found a 45 revolver gun. You mention if the judge use it, his bones might break. The judge answers back and wants you to leave him out of this example.

 * 4th: Klavier was playing "Guilty Love" on the stereos for everyone to know that they were playing. It seems that everyone at the stage hearing it has an alibi.

 * 5th: There was a small window that was cracked, but the only way out of here is the air vents. The air vents were very small, but only a child could fit through there. That child would be Machi, the defendant! They even have proof. Prints were made on the air vent recently. The prints were able to match those of Machi's!

As usual, everything is pointing at your client, even The Judge is ready to hand down a verdict. Klavier however, says that they don't have a decisive witness yet, and asks you if it is necessary to call one. When given the choice, say Call a witness. Remember, just before LeTouse died, he said to you, in his dying words, that the witness was "the siren". When asked who that was Present Lamiroir's Profile. Lamiroir is known as the siren.

Lamiroir is called, revealing that she speaks English, very good in fact. Klavier will say that Lamiroir has suffered amnesia, not knowing her past before her time as a singer. She didn't expect to be called up here to testify, let alone by you. Lamiroir starts to testify about what she saw.

What I Saw: Cross-Examination
Present Lamiroir's Brooch on her 3rd statement. After the 2nd act, you found the brooch backstage. Does that mean that Lamiroir did go backstage after the 2nd act? Lamiroir then says (in Borginian, translated by Klavier) that she was only at her dressing room in only a short period of time. When she went out as soon as she heard you come in (you heard the door shut, remember?). Two new statements will be added:

 * When my performance was finished, I went backstage for just a moment...
 * I saw nothing. The late Mr. LeTouse's body was behind a wall.

Use your bracelet on the latter statement:

 * I saw nothing. The late Mr. LeTouse's body was behind a wall.

Perceive Lamiroir's neck. It looks like she is gulping as she mentioned LeTouse's body. Lamiroir asks why LeTouse had to be shot. Hold on... how does Lamiroir know that LeTouse has been shot? She has just contradicted her own testimony! When asked for proof, Present the Investigation Request. There was a gag order not to tell anyone involved that LeTouse has been killed. Lamiroir asked for what happened that night, and just now testified that she saw nothing, so how did she know LeTouse had been shot.

Lamiroir thinks for a moment and asks to revise her testimony. Another new statement will be added.

 * I saw bullet holes in the wall, and knew Mr. LeTouse had been shot...

She slipped up again. Present the Diagram on that statement. There were bullet holes on the wall where the door is, so if Lamiroir did see the crime for a moment from the door, she would not have seen the bullets!

It seems the "Siren of the Ballad" has seen more of the crime than she says, and LeTouse says she witnessed the murder. Is she hiding something? She will testify more of witnessing the murder.

What I Saw 2: Cross-Examination
A grown man, eh? Press on the 5th statement. Lamiroir says that the grown person was a man, a young man. She can hear a voice and never forget it, so she was certain that it wasn't LeTouse who spoke. It looks like a good testimony. When given the choice, you can say It's contradictory, arguing that if it was a grown man what she heard, how could the man get away? There was no way he could have fit in the air vents. Saying It's pretty good doesn't penalize you in any way, other than having Klavier making fun of you (nothing new by this point)

Klavier will say that there is another contradiction. The window Lamiroir saw through was closed, so she could not have heard the man speak. Therefore, what she had testified sounds quite dull for being decisive! Thus, Klavier requests that Lamiroir leaves the stand and Ema retakes it. The Judge takes it, unfortunately for you.

The cross-examination of Ema continues where you left off. Ema will testify again, this time about LeTouse's missing and found body.

The Missing Body: Cross-Examination
German translation: Präsentieren is Present. A signature!? Press on the 4th statement. Ema says this "signature" was the bullet holes on the wall. Remember, Machi is blind. The killer fired the gun twice by using sound. He shot at five feet. The first shot missed, and the second hit. The killer could have killed LeTouse in one shot... if he could see. When given the chance, Raise an objection. You say to the court that the recoil of a gun this size could tear off a tiny person's arm! However, Machi is very tiny, so it looked like you had just pointed to Machi as the killer. Klavier has Ema revise her testimony.

Present the Crime Photo. There is something in there that contradicts Ema's testimony. When asked what, Present the blood. It looks like there is some sort of washed writing on there. It looks like LeTouse was trying to write the name of the killer! If Machi wasn't blind, he could have rubbed off those unseen letters!
 * From the state of the crime scene, I conclude that the shooter was blind.

Alternatively, you can press on the new statement (about the shooter was blind). After such a long winding back and forth conversation, choose I've got just the thing!. Then present Crime Photo for the same thing.

It looks like you are about to get Machi off the hook. However, Klavier pounces. He announces to the court that he had received reports about Machi, which reveals that Machi WASN'T blind! In fact, he can see perfectly!! The "fact" that he is blind was actually a publicity ploy by the Borginians! So, if Machi really can see, that makes him the prime suspect again!!!

Luminol Testing
Ema then gets an idea. She wants to test the rubbed blood with luminol, the chemical that can react to the stickiest parts of the blood. She wants you to test it on the carpet. It is quite simple, just touch the Stylus everywhere, until you get a reaction. You remember in the first game "Rise From The Ashes" in which you try it in the "Parking Lot" and the "Detective Locker Room".

You will find the writing. It says "IPXX314206". Is that the killer? Klavier explains that it an ID number for Interpol, the international police agency, where policemen from all around the world investigate crimes everywhere. Is Machi an undercover agent? How does LeTouse know the number? Klavier will call up Daryan, to have the code analyzed.

We now ask a question, why would Machi pretend that he is blind? He supposes you know the answer. Machi didn't pretend for himself, but for someone else. When getting the chance, Show evidence, then Present the Postcard. It looked like Machi and Lamiroir had been the guide and follower. If that is true, then if Machi isn't blind, then Lamiroir could be the blind one! How is that possible!? Doesn't she write music by sight!?

Lamiroir is called up again. She confirms that she really is blind! This probably what Klavier means when he doesn't have a "direct" witness. Lamiroir will testify about her condition.

Lamiroir's Eyes: Cross-Examination
Press on the 5th statement. The staff included LeTouse. Recall his dying words. He said the words "can't see", probably referring to Lamiroir's blindness.

Klavier looks into Lamiroir's earlier testimony, stating that she "witnessed" the events through a closed window. Lamiroir insists that she heard the two men's voices. She would recognize the voice if she hears it again.

Just then, bailiff interrupts the court, announcing that Daryan has brought back results. He reveals that the number ("IPXX314206") belongs to LeTouse! LeTouse was an undercover agent!? Daryan then reveals that the murder weapon belonged to LeTouse! The Revolver is updated in the Court Record.

Just when Daryan was about to leave, Lamiroir interrupts. She suddenly recognizes the voice she heard at the crime. It belongs to Daryan! Could this mean that the shooter could be him!?

The court responds with such a chaotic state, The Judge calls off today's trial. It looks like there is something about the guitarist/detective guy.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 3: Turnabout Serenade/Day 2 - Investigation

Two mysteries are afoot. LeTouse being an undercover agent, and Daryan being a suspect. You wonder what Phoenix is doing lately. Trucy doesn't know what, but he says he is on a "top secret" mission, so it looks like you need no help from him. Most importantly, you're back at Wright Anything Agency to continue your investigation from there.

Wright Anything Agency
Without further ado, let's begin today's investigation. Talk to Trucy:

 * Daryan did it: Trucy knew she saw Daryan on stage, so he must have an alibi. Was Lamiroir lying or was she just mistaken?

 * Agent LeTouse: If LeTouse was an international officer, could he be investigating Lamiroir?

Just then, someone comes in. It's that yellow suited guy you briefly saw at the night of the crime! Trucy finally recognizes him as Uncle Valant, The Grand Magician! Trucy says he is a great friend of her "daddy." No, not Phoenix, her "real" daddy. Talk to Valant:

 * Troupe Gramarye: It looks like Valant was part of a highly popular group of magicians. His partner is known as Zak Gramarye. Both Valant and Trucy became briefly silent as Trucy says "daddy." What?
 * Trucy's father: Trucy will say that Zak is her "real" father. Does this mean Phoenix adopted her? Trucy will say that he is gone now. What happened?

Valant then remembers the reason he got here, two reasons in fact. First, to see Trucy, and second, to show her a video of Lamiroir's act at the concert. So, what was he doing at the concert? The Video Tape will be added to the Court Record.

Present the Video Tape. Valant reveals that he is responsible for the "disappearing act". He can't tell you about what happened. (Number one rule to a magician: never reveal a secret to your art.) So it looks like you're stuck (since the secret may help with your investigation).

Valant will leave (through the door, normally) and will stay at the Coliseum.

Time to talk to Machi (or at least try to). Move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center
You see Machi here. Talk about all of the available topics to Machi. It looks like he doesn't speak English, but you feel a "thump" in your bracelet. Is Machi hiding something?

Move to Sunshine Coliseum.

Sunshine Coliseum
Ah, the perfect weather for the perfect building. Move to the Backstage Hallway.

Backstage Hallway
You will see Lamiroir, who recognizes you by your footsteps. (Good hearing.) Talk to Lamiroir:

 * The voice: Lamiroir says she was making her way through backstage until she heard two men. She knows that it was Daryan with LeTouse. She heard two horrible noises, but wasn't sure if she heard two gunshots.

 * Machi: Machi had met Lamiroir and played "opposites". He can write on her palm with his finger to guide Lamiroir and tell her what she should know.

 * Mr. LeTouse: Lamiroir had no idea that LeTouse was an agent. Could somebody be after her?

 * "Darkness": Lamiroir can't remember her past before becoming who she is. Could something in her past be related to this crime, and why LeTouse could be investigating her? Trucy says it's unlikely.

Present the Video Tape. You ask Lamiroir how her teleportation trick is done. Unfortunately, she could not tell you. Lamiroir then remembers stumbling on some sort of device. She probably means the headset. Lamiroir says the headset is used to communicate with performers and staff members. This looks important. The Headset will be added to the Court Record.

Present the Headset. Lamiroir says the headset has limited range. The headset will only pick up signals in a 30-foot range. If they used a stronger signal, the headsets and other audio equipment wouldn't work properly. The Headset is updated in the Court Record.

Move to The stage.

In The Wings
You will see Valant there, who is playing piano. Talk to Valant:

Lamiroir's illusion: It was Valant that planned the trick, because the "purple prosecutor" requested so. (He probably means Klavier). For Lamiroir to disappear "like a dream". Valant was here to make sure his trick would go through as planned, and needless to say it worked. Valant then notices that something in the piano bothers him.

Troupe Gramarye: The troupe rose to fame twenty years ago by Magnifi Gramarye. However, 7 years ago, he died, and the fabulous troupe "pulled a vanishing act". Valant has since then taking new jobs, and honing their skills until the day they rise again. Not only Valant Gramarye would take the stage once more, but Zak, who disappeared 7 years ago. Valant and Zak: Valant wishes to bring back the Troupe Gramarye soon. He and Zak.

Examine the piano Valant mentioned earlier. You see something odd between the strings. It looks like a "Switch", which is added to the Court Record. Just what is it doing in it?

You should have this examined. Move to Lamiroir's Dressing Room.

Lamiroir's Dressing Room
Ema is in here and is of course not happy about LeTouse and Klavier. She hasn't found anything, but noticed something strange. Talk to Ema:

The trial today: Machi can see, so he can see the revolver and the vent. But that's not what Lamroir said, she said she heard Daryan when the crime was executed.

The case: Everything about the case is exactly what was written in "The Guitar Serenade". Maybe the same person who wrote this was the killer?

Something strange: Ema found something strange under the sofa. It turns out to be what looks like an antenna. It looks like it may not work unless some sort of switch is activated. A switch.. hmm?

Present the Switch. You recall the "strange" device Ema found. You try the switch and... OWCH! It looks like the switch ignites the antenna! The Switch is updated in the Court Record.

Talk about The switch. Ema will say it seems to be a small transmitter, that only reaches thirty feet. The Switch is updated again as Remote Trigger. Ema draws a circle in the cross-section of the stage. It looks like it reaches backstage and most of the stage itself! The Forum Diagram will be added to the Court Record.

Ema will continue her investigation. The Igniter will be added to the Court Record. It looks like you'll need to be looking closer to the igniter and the switch.

Move outside the Sunshine Coliseum, accessible from the Backstage hallway.

Sunshine Coliseum (2)
You will see Daryan outside, and needless to say he isn't happy about being a suspect Lamiroir calls him. He couldn't even work anymore. But, doesn't he have an alibi? Talk to Daryan:

 * Your alibi: The crime happened during the third act, right? And Daryan was at the stage, being watched by thousands of "witnesses". So how can Lamiroir possibly identify him?

 * Prosecutor Gavin: Klavier can't let Daryan work anymore, not until suspicion is cleared of him. Why would he do that to one of his members of the Gavinners?

Speaking of Klavier, where is he now? Daryan says he in is his office. It looks like some information of LeTouse has been taken in recently.

Move to Gavin's Office.

Gavin's Office
You arrive in the office to see Klavier in a phone call. Trucy decides to eavesdrop (to your reluctance). He is questioning about some object, a "replica" of some sort, and why LeTouse is after it. What object? Klavier wants a report and hangs up, shortly before noticing you. Talk to Klavier:

 * The case: Since Klavier got back from today's case, he had been getting phone calls about the song. It is also large news on a Borginian Newspaper. It was such a big deal there, but they didn't mention the lyrics. The Borginian Newspaper will be added to the Court Record.

 * The Guitar's Serenade: Klavier and Lamiroir began writing a song after he met her while his visit to Borginia. They wrote a song backstage at Sunshine Coliseum. Klavier wanted to play Lamiroir's guitar, and she let him. Now it's all ruined from that fire.

Examine the burnt guitar. Klavier had a specialist analyze the guitar and what they found was intriguing.

 * Lamiroir's guitar: Lamiroir sent the guitar to Klavier as a present. They managed to carry it on the plane without ruining it, because of special packaging. It arrived as good as new. Too bad it is burnt. Prosecutor Gavin's Guitar will be added to the Court Record. As for this "intriguing" thing they found, it was found in the guitar's sound hole (the hole under the strings). It looks like some sort of device. Doesn't this look familiar?

Present the Igniter. It looks like the same one found in Klavier's guitar! The Igniter will be updated in the Court Record.

Examine the jar on the stand. It looks like there is gum inside it. Klavier says it isn't. You then recall the phone call Klavier made earlier. Was it this lump the call was about? And what did LeTouse have to do with it? Klavier says that LeTouse was after it.

 * The strange lump: Klavier doesn't know what the object is a replica of, but he does know that it is just plastic. It seems Interpol isn't saying anything to Borginia about it. Why did LeTouse became Lamiroir's manager and died trying to get the lump? The Replica is added to the Court Record.

After accomplishing everything, Klavier is done talking with you. You're done here. Move to the Sunshine Coliseum.

Sunshine Coliseum (3)
Ema is here, she says Lamiroir is missing. It looks like you have to find her. Move to the Backstage Hallway then The Stage.

In The Wings (2)
The stage is pitch-dark, so you open the lights. Something has changed here. What is it?

Examine what looks like a bass case. It was opened the last time you saw it. It looks like something is sticking out. It doesn't look like an instrument.

So you and Trucy decide to open it. Inside you find... Lamiroir?!? It looks like she is out of breath! You call for Ema's help!

Lamiroir is taken to a nearby hospital.

Hickfield Clinic
Ema will say that Lamiroir is fine just a little longer and she wouldn't have made it! Whew! Ema says somebody attacked Lamiroir, striking her in the forehead. Lamiroir comes to thank you. Talk to her:

 * Attacked!: After Lamiroir talked to you two, she was struck in the forehead. She ran to the stage, with the assailant following her. Once she arrived, the stage went lights out. She took this as an advantage and hid inside the case.

 * The assailant: Lamiroir doesn't know who hit her, but she can conclude that the man was taller than her. Trucy is shorter than Lamiroir, who is as tall as you. She gave the same answer to the detective (Ema).

Present the Replica. You ask Lamiroir about the replica and LeTouse's curiosity. Lamiroir may have an idea why, it is the replica of the Borginian Cocoon. The Replica is updated in the Court Record.

 * The Borginian Cocoon: All Borginians knew of it. Lamiroir doesn't know about the details, but if someone is caught carrying it outside the country, they will receive a death sentence! Why? Lamiroir will say the reason LeTouse was after the replica may be because he was confirming "smuggling".

 * Smuggling: Lamiroir will say that she is "marked". She was traveling the world while carrying the cocoons. This is probably why LeTouse was investigating, to check on Lamiroir under suspicion! How could a small ball of thread can cause a huge commotion?

You should probably talk to Machi about this. Lamiroir will come with you. You automatically move to the Detention Center.

Detention Center (2)
You ask Machi about what other secret he is hiding, other than the fact he can see. When asked what, Present the Replica. Machi could be the one sneaking the cocoons out of Borginia. Machi says to you not to jump into conclusions and asks for what you know. Talk to Machi with Lamiroir the interpreter.

 * The Cocoon: Machi will tell you that the cocoon is a cure for a disease called "Incuritis". The Replica is updated in the Court Record. If the cocoon is the cure, why are the Borginians keeping it? Machi says he is not sure, but he doesn't say anything about smuggling the cocoons here. Could Machi be selling it from the country? Machi says he can't go home, probably due to the death penalty.

Machi is now willing to say something about the case. But before he could do so, Daryan arrives, calling off the meeting. Apparently, there is a call to Machi from the Borginian Embassy.

Why did Daryan take Machi if Machi was about to say something? Could it be that Daryan doesn't want Machi to say anything? It looks like you'll have to find out the truth tomorrow, in court of course!

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 3: Turnabout Serenade/Day 3 - Trial Former

Valant appears and warns Apollo that his big illusion will help you with the case. He isn't a witness, so he will be leaving town. Bailiff announces that today's trial will be postponed for half-an-hour. Apparently, The Judge is visiting the hospital, as the Chief of Justice's son's condition has worsened. Bailiff gives you the Newspaper Article, which is added to the Court Record. It says something about "Incuritis". Now, where did you hear that before?

Trial begins
Trial finally begins. The Judge has visited The Chief Justice, as he is going through a difficult time.

So without further ado, let's begin. You are left with two mysteries yesterday. One is that LeTouse was an agent, and the second is that Lamiroir pointed her finger at Daryan as the killer. Klavier says that Daryan has a solid alibi. As the murder occurred, Daryan was rocking it out on stage, so he couldn't have been backstage during the crime. This prompts The Judge to clear Daryan's suspicions and call a verdict to Machi!

You can't let that happen, don't you remember about yesterday? Machi was about to say something about the murder, until Daryan cut you off. You decide to hold the verdict and call up Machi. You need an interpreter, and Klavier doesn't know much about Borginian, so you decide to call up Lamiroir as Machi's translator. Let's hope she doesn't say anything just to protect Machi. Seeing no good reason for refusal, The Judge accepts your request.

Machi will say that, much to even Lamiroir's surprise, has proof of his own innocence! This sounds like vital evidence, probably what he is trying to say yesterday! Machi will testify for his proof.

Machi's Testimony: Proof of Innocence (Translated by Lamiroir)
Of course, Machi doesn't understand English. Klavier, however, asks that if Lamiroir ever told Machi what the lyrics mean. Lamiroir says she has, but not in great detail. Could she be really protecting Machi? It looks like your bracelet will do the job.

Proof of Innocence: Cross-Examination
Use your bracelet in the 4th statement:

 * He says that because the lyrics are in English, he does not understand them.

Perceive Machi's eyes. It looks like he is glancing at Lamiroir as soon as she said "English". Does that means Machi does understand English? Lamiroir says that Machi can only say the word "English" and nothing else. So how did he know about the lyrics? Machi says that he read the The Borginian Daily Bugle. You know that's not true, Present the Borginian Newspaper it does say something about the case, but it has no mention of the lyrics at all. Machi then remembers that he was mistaken. He now says that it was Lamiroir that told him about the lyrics! This doesn't look like the type to continue, but you felt your bracelet reacting. You request to add a new statement.

 * It was I who explained that the crime followed the song.

Use your bracelet on that statement:

 * It was I who explained that the crime followed the song.

Perceive Lamiroir's neck. She is swallowing again. How could she not so sure that she told him? Perhaps she could be protecting someone? When asked who, Present Machi Tobaye's Profile. It looks like Lamiroir is lying to protect him. You ask once more to Machi that if he can understand English.

At this point, Machi screams, in English! Machi will finally admit by himself that he can indeed speak English! But only a little bit, as he obviously shows. This is shocking news, even to Lamiroir. Machi will say that he is hiding one last thing, he says he didn't shoot LeTouse. He was at the dressing room, though LeTouse was already lying on the ground. When you and Ema came in, Machi admits that he did escaped through the air vent.

Klavier insists that Machi shot LeTouse, but Machi is pleading otherwise. You then ask Machi about the cocoon. You ask him if he smuggled them in. Machi refuses to tell, according to Lamiroir.

Although seeing little reason to continue, the Judge calls a recess.

Recess
Machi insists that he didn't shoot LeTouse. He just went into the dressing room, and found LeTouse's body. Afterwords, he heard gunshots. Gunshots AFTER the body was found? Anyways, the vent he escaped through was connected to the stage and backstage. Machi learned this from the "magician".

Machi refuses to testify about the cocoon. Maybe he is scared about the Borginian death penalty. It looks like you can't get him to talk. Probably calling up someone else would do the trick, even if it hurts.

You call up Lamiroir to the stand. Yesterday, she was assaulted by someone. The assailant wanted her dead, but she escaped. She was taken to the hospital and recovered. Klavier says he didn't get such reports. Why would someone want Lamiroir killed? Maybe they didn't want her to say anything, about the murder no less! Perhaps Lamiroir is hiding something, a "nugget" of truth. Lamiroir is sure that Machi is innocent, and that she heard the voice of the shooter, which belonged to Daryan.

Lamiroir will testify about what she witnessed (or what she heard in this case).

What I Heard: Cross-Examination
Press on the 2nd statement. Then ask, What were they talking about?. Lamiroir says she only heard one phrase correctly! The shooter (probably Daryan) said "It's over. Press the switch! Now!" A switch? That is strange. Maybe you could shed a little light on the subject. A new state is added:

 * From the small window, I heard a voice say, "Press the switch! Now!"

Present the Remote Trigger on this new statement. It looks like this is the "switch" the shooter was mentioning, but how could the killer be telling LeTouse to press a switch? Present the Headset. They probably be using it to talk to someone from backstage, to the stage. Klavier asks how it was able to connect to the players. After all, the communication was only limited to thirty feet. You present the diagram, which shows that the direct distance between the stage and backstage is under thirty feet!

Klavier will now ask you about the "switch" it isn't found at the crime scene, so there's no point to it between the switch and the crime. Klavier asks what the switch triggers, Present the Igniter. You show the court (nearly burning it and The Judge down) that the switch triggers a fire in the igniter! Remember Klavier's burning guitar? This is probably the purpose of the igniter, to burn up such a perfect instrument!

It should be obvious in this state, but Klavier objects again. He reminds you that his guitar burned during the second act, yet the shooting took place in the third, so how is this possible? You say that the shooting might NOT have occurred in the third act. Klavier argues that you and Ema heard the bullets on the third, but you counter by saying that Machi did hear it also, but the killer wasn't seen. You then conclude that the killer said "Pull the switch! Now!" and the next moment, Klavier's guitar caught in flames. Your conclusion? The shooting took place on the second act, not the third act!

Now you go into a conversation about the killer following the lyrics. It looks like the killer did the shooting before the burning. Why? Probably because it is to interfere with the investigation, fooling everyone into thinking that they had an alibi.

It sounds like it makes sense, but Klavier objects otherwise. He reminds you once more that it was Lamiroir that claims she heard the killer say that, but the window was closed. How could she have heard the voice? Answer that She was somewhere else. When asked where, Present the Air Vent on the diagram. She was up there. It's the only logical explanation. Apparently Lamiroir doesn't know the English word "air vent", thinking that the opening was a window. Lamiroir will admit that she was up there! Why was she up there? Lamiroir says it's hard to say, but she will testify anyways.

Lamiroir's Testimony: Above the Ceiling
Bound to secrecy? Lamiroir says she could say why. Maybe she is hiding something. Is she forced to? Is this why there are cross-examinations?

Above the Ceiling: Cross-Examination
Present the Video Tape on Lamiroir's 4th statement. The reason she is hiding it is because of the illusion. As seen in the video, Lamiroir disappears and reappears at the back of the stage. She would have to go through the air vent to complete the illusion! Klavier knows about it, but he doesn't know all about the details. The Judge, however, points out that it took her twenty seconds to go from the stage to the forum. Lamiroir can't say anything, so it looks like it's up to you.

Time for Lamiroir's last testimony.

The Big Illusion: Cross-Examination
Two minutes!? Press on the 4th statement. Lamiroir says she had to stop. Why? When given the choice, choose Present evidence, then Present Lamiroir's Brooch. You conclude about the teleportation, the Lamiroir before disappearing and the Lamiroir after, were two different people! Klavier says the former was Valant, disguised as a woman. The real Lamiroir had dropped her brooch between the vents while she was running. It seems amazing that Valant could sing perfectly. Perhaps it was recorded? Klavier says it was live.

A new statement is added.

 * I... had to keep singing, even while I moved.

Press on that statement. She was singing the whole time? Lamiroir says Klavier hates recordings, so she used a microphone.

So if she used a microphone, have the shooter's voice and the gunshots been heard? Maybe LaTouse and the killer didn't notice Lamiroir singing above them, because the speakers drowned her out. Lamiroir then remembers something. When she heard the shots, she stopped singing for a moment. How? Klavier reminds you of the mixing board he gave you the night of the crime. (Remember, when you used it to determine who missed the cue). In the lyrics sheet, Lamiroir was supposed to sing "Pleasure" twice. However, she only sang it once! Because she had heard the shot!

You have now proven that the murder took place in the second act, rather than the third! Now Klavier asks you something. What if Lamiroir was testifying to protect Machi? He likes to call in one last witness, Daryan Crescend as a suspect of murdering LaTouse! The Judge will call a recess.


text:
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 3: Turnabout Serenade/Day 3 - Trial Latter

You get a visit from, guess who? Phoenix! He tells you that he is on a "secret mission". Like LeTouse? Phoenix apparently knows what you are doing. Getting Machi off the hook and going after Daryan.

Phoenix will leave, but before he does so, he gives you a present from Ema. It looks like fragments of firecrackers she found at the crime scene. The Burnt Fragments are added to the Court Record. Phoenix tells you to find Daryan's "igniter" with this, as it is near impossible to prove Daryan's guilt under "conventional methods". He is calm and collected, so perception is out of the picture.

Phoenix leaves as you reenter. Just what does he mean by finding Daryan's "igniter"?

Trial continues
Klavier doesn't seem happy that his friend is a suspect. Daryan will testify predictably against Lamiroir's testimony.

Daryan's Rebuttal: Cross-Examination
On Daryan's 4th statement, Present the Burnt Fragments. Those fragments used to be firecrackers, right? If so, then could these firecrackers have been the "gunshots" you heard during the third act? Klavier will then say he received a report on the firecrackers, and so he decides to make Daryan a witness. Daryan wants proof that the firecrackers were set off when there were two people at the door. Klavier will present a headset. Daryan will raise the possibility that it was dropped, but Klavier silences him by saying that it is also possible that the headset was placed to forge an alibi. You found this at the backstage door, so it appears like someone placed it there to hear any witnesses.

Now Daryan wants you to prove that the crime did occur at the second act. You don't look like you are ready to present it. A new statement will be added.

 * The shooting took place during the second set? If you're so sure, let's see your proof.

Present the Mixing Board. It has recorded multiple parts of The Guitar Serenade. Lamiroir stopped singing for a brief moment at the time of the crime. It seems you should show where the stammering took place. You examine the mixing board. Mute everything except for track 1. Notice anything suspicious? On the first part of the track, you hear gunshots! Select track 1 on the second segment of the song and Present it.

Alternatively, you can Present the Mixing Board on the 3rd statement, do the steps regarding the mixing board mentioned previously, then, when asked, Present the Burnt Fragments.

It looks like what Lamiroir said is true, but you only heard one gunshot rather than two. Probably the second shot wasn't heard, because Lamiroir was farther from the vent. You then raise concerns over the murder weapon. The reason Daryan missed his cue is because he used the heavy .45 caliber gun, which is powerful enough to dislocate his shoulder on kickback. Daryan says he was a trained shooter, but Klavier counters his statement saying the police would use lighter .38 caliber guns.

Daryan will now say he didn't shoot LeTouse. He will testify how.

Proof of Innocence: Cross-Examination
Present the Replica on the 2nd or 5th statement. Klavier will say the reason behind the banning. If it was sold everywhere else, it would be used to create deadly poisons. Remember, LeTouse was an agent, so why did Daryan kill him? Maybe it's probably because Daryan was smuggling, and LeTouse caught him. Daryan denies it. Time for his last testimony.

Cocoon Smuggling: Cross-Examination
Present the Newspaper Article on Daryan's 3rd or 4th statement. Remember the Chief of Justice's son? He is infected with Incuritis. Only the cocoon can cure him, so Daryan probably made a deal with the Chief of Justice himself, but even if the deal went through, he would still be in hot water. Daryan wants proof that he made a deal. Three new statements are added.

 * Borginian Customs is very thorough. Everything and everyone gets checked.
 * Cocoon possession will get you arrested on the spot, and then sentenced to death.
 * Hey, man, if there's a way to get cocoons out of there I'd sure like to know.

Oh, there's a way all right. Present Prosecutor Gavin's Guitar on the first or last of the given statements. How they got the cocoon here is the same way they got the guitar here. The Guitar was sent here in a bagged and vacuumed box. It made it to the concert untouched! It wasn't open before the concert, so how does this relate to the cocoon? Well, someone with good access to the guitar would use it as a mule for the miracle cure! Some such as Daryan!

At the concert, the killer ran into a new problem, the guitar was wrapped neatly. If it were already open before Klavier opened it, things would get too suspicious. Then there was LeTouse. He knew something was up in the guitar, so if he looked in the guitar, things wouldn't go well with the guitarist, but he was prepared. If things would go wrong, he would burn the guitar, thus eliminating the cocoon!

It sounds like very good motive, but Daryan persists. He asks a question, he never went to Borginia, so how dd he manage to bring the cocoon here, and burn the guitar. Remember what the killer said when Lamiroir was passing by? It sounded like he had an accomplice. When asked who, Present Machi Tobaye's Profile.

It sounds like a good person, but what about Lamiroir, she's from Borginia too. It's impossible. Remember on the second act, the platform rose under Klavier and his guitar. She would be off the range of the ingniter, so if Lamiroir was at the vent above her dressing room, she could not have burned the guitar because it was out of reach!

Daryan will then show you a problem. He shows you a video, which shows Machi playing a piano. He could not have pressed the switch if he was busy playing. Lamiroir wasn't the accomplice, as you have proven, and the pianist didn't miss a cue. Klavier says there is something odd in the performance. Really? When asked if you can prove something, say I can prove it. You don't have direct proof, but you can prove it's possibility.

Present the Mixing Board. You come to a possibility that Machi could be playing with one hand, and this mixing board will prove it. Mute all of the parts, this time leaving the 4th one be. Present at the first segment of the song. It sounds quite graceful compared to the part where Klavier's guitar started burning. It wouldn't matter if you were playing one hand or two on the second segment!

Setting off the "igniter"
It looks like The Judge could wrap this up now, yet Daryan is STILL not giving up! You need decisive proof that Daryan did kill LeTouse. Remember what Phoenix said back there, it's hard to win under the current legal system, especially under conventional methods, so you need to find Daryan's "igniter" and "set it off". This is it, time to find that igniter! When asked to show what can set it off, Call a witness. When asked who, Present Machi Tobaye's Profile.

Daryan says that Machi is too afraid to talk, because of Borginian death penalty, but you counter this statement by saying Machi doesn't have to worry about a thing here. Here in THIS country, you don't get sentenced to death by just smuggling, furthermore, if Machi doesn't confess here now, he will be tried by the Borginian court. It would be over for Machi, but not in this country, where there are no such laws!

Since Machi was Daryan's accomplice, he probably knows everything in Daryan's plan, so since the laws of Borginia don't apply here, and Machi won't get killed, it looks like Daryan doesn't have to worry about going to jail anymore, since he is getting arrested anyways!

Machi is called up and will be tried for smuggling not at Borginia, but in a country where he doesn't have to worry about a thing.

Machi Tobaye is found...

What REALLY Happened
It all started with a deal between Daryan Crescend, guitarist of a famous rock band, the Gavinners, and Machi Tobaye, pianist and guide of famous singer Lamiroir. Both Daryan and Machi needed money, so they made a deal. In the US, The Chief of Justice's son is infected with Incuritis, and only the special cocoons in Borginia could cure it. However, if one brings one of the cocoons out of the country of Borginia, they will suffer a death penalty, according to Borginian law. The two would sneak one of the cocoons to the US, sell it, and make a fortune!

The plan started when Klavier Gavin, leader and vocalist of the Gavinners, visited Borginia, where Machi lives. He had taken a liking to Lamiroir and decided to let her guest star in one of his concerts. Lamiroir agreed and Klavier left the European country. Lamiroir gave him one of her guitars as a present. Machi took this as an advantage and put the cocoons in the guitar, to sneak it overseas. He also put in an igniter, in case something goes wrong with the plan.

However, Interpol, an international police force, was on to Machi. They sent Romein LeTouse undercover to take a job as Lamiroir's manager. He would eventually start to investigate Machi. Meanwhile, Klavier contacted Valant Gramarye, former celebrity of magic. They would agree on using Valant's old tricks to create an illusion of Lamiroir teleporting from one side of the stage to another.

On the night of the concert, Daryan stole Klavier's keys to his guitar case. He opened it and discovered a problem, the guitar was wrapped up. It turns out Klavier wanted Lamiroir's guitar in perfect condition, so he used wrapping to ensure its safety. Daryan knew if he unwrapped the guitar, everyone would get suspicious, so he closed up the case and abandoned the plan. Afterward, Klavier couldn't find his (stolen) keys, so he was forced to break open the case.

Finally, the concert began. As Daryan was rocking it with the rest of the group on the first act, LeTouse started investigating the room. On the second act, LeTouse confronted Daryan. Meanwhile, Lamiroir was running through the air vent beneath the stage, above the dressing rooms (part of Valant's teleportation trick). Valant also pretended himself to be Lamiroir on the 15-feet stage platform with Klavier, let the real Lamiroir able to transport within 2 minutes, instead of 20 seconds which is impossible. Daryan used the headset to tell Machi to press the switch in the piano ("Press the switch! Now!"). When Machi did, Klavier's guitar was set ablaze, along with the cocoon and the evidence. Daryan then took LeTouse's gun and fired. Missing once and hitting LeTouse the second time.

Lamiroir heard the gunshots and Daryan's voice, and she stopped singing briefly, shocked. She continued along the vent to finish the illusion, since she was in a hurry. She wasn't sure if what she witnesses were gunshots, and for that matter, if the window into the room was really a window - because she is blind (also with her confusion of English words between "window" and "vent").

LeTouse wrote out his ID number as he lay there dying, so the police would figure out who he really was. Daryan noticed and wiped out the number. He set firecrackers under the sofa and made a trigger device that would set them off. He then discarded LaTouse's headset and placed it on the doorway, so if there were anyone next to it, Daryan would set them off to create "witnesses". Triggering the firecrackers, that sound like gunfire, caused him to miss a cue in the third act.

Those witnesses were rookie attorney Apollo Justice, and detective Ema Skye. They were discussing just outside the dressing room, so Daryan could hear them. Meanwhile, Machi went into the room and discovered the body. He heard the firecrackers go off. Startled, he climbed up the ladder and went into the air vent.

Apollo and Ema heard the "gunshots" and bust in, spotting LeTouse's body. Lamiroir heard the gunshots as well and came into the room. Ema left as Apollo heard LeTouse's final words. Lamiroir left the room undetected, with Apollo only hearing a door closing.

As Apollo went out to investigate (under Trucy Wright's suggestion), Daryan came back after the concert was called off and took LeTouse's body, his bass, and put them on the raised stage. He then knocked out Machi and placed him up there as well.

When Machi was arrested due to the evidence against him, Daryan thought he got away with everything, until Lamiroir accused him of murder (she could recognize his voice, as she does with everyone). After the trial, he attacked Lamiroir, making sure not to use his voice as he tries to kill her. Lamiroir, however, escapes into Daryan's contrabass case.

Turnabout Serenade: Epilogue
Phoenix and Lamiroir drop by. Right now, Lamiroir (with Phoenix's suggestion) is considering having an eye operation, as until today, she was afraid to see the "light" that hid from her from an accident. Lamiroir feared that something bad would happen if she could see again. But now she is ready. If she can see again, she will take up painting (well she is the "landscape painter of sound"). You also inspired Phoenix into hurrying up with his "secret mission".

After the trial, The Guitar Serenade became a hit! As they always say, "Next time you write a ballad, have them catch the killer at the end!"

Though you did find the truth in this case, even more questions arise. Who IS Lamiroir? What accident separated the Troupe Gramarye? Who is Zak Gramarye? Why did the Troupe break up? And most importantly, what was Phoenix's secret mission? And what is this new legal system? All that, and the questions risen in the previous cases, including seven years ago and then some will all be answered in the next and last case of the game. Hopefully Justice is ready for this legendary adventure!

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Succession

It all starts with a computer simulator called MASON. As a speech of connections go by, we see the following clips: a electrocardiograph, with a heart being fine. A shot is heard and there is a flatline; Two full houses from the first case; Two gun firing and a view of what looks like a performer getting shot; a girl passing out in what looks like a courtroom; and finally, a shadowy shot of a familiar face on the witness's stand.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Succession/Day 1 - Investigation

Wright Anything Agency
It's been three months since the last case with Machi. You decide to write about it in your journal. Trucy comes in with some news. Valant is making a comeback! You watch an ad saying the Troupe Gramarye is performing at Sunshine Coliseum, where the Gavinners performed before. Trucy brought a Magic Show Ticket. It will be added to the Court Record.

Just then, Phoenix drops by, back from the mission. You ask him to tell you what the "mission" is. He is visiting you to do just that and now he wants you involved. Phoenix asks you if you know about the "Jurist System". Talk to Phoenix:

 * The Jurist System: The Jury is when a chosen number of people decide verdicts with the judge. The community is thinking of reviving that system and named it "The Jurist System". There will be six people watching the case and will decide a verdict with the judge.

 * The secret mission: Phoenix reveals to you that he is currently working on that system. In fact, he is the chairman of the system! He has chosen a sample case and chosen six jurists. He now needs you to complete set-up for his "test". The type of case he chose? Murder, and it doesn't sound as simple as he says. Phoenix tells you he chose a case relating to something that happened recently - yesterday, as a matter of fact. The trial is a test, but the verdict is real. The case is also tomorrow, so you better get started.

 * Valant Gramarye: Trucy wants to go to Sunshine Coliseum to say "hi" to Valant. You refuse to go, but Phoenix wants you to look after her. He then gives you an envelope which looks like it came from the Gramaryes. Phoenix doesn't want you to open it, as he thinks you need it at a certain time. You can't open it until then. The Gramarye Envelope will be added to the Court Record.

 * The trial simulation: Phoenix says you can investigate the crime scene, but you can't talk to anyone involved. He is the chairman, so he is responsible for the whole case. You take a wrong move, it's Phoenix's fault. Phoenix tells you that your client is at the detention center. He wants you to talk to her... if you can get her to "talk", that is.

Well as Trucy says, time's a-wasting. Move to the Detention Center. Although the Sunshine Coliseum is available, it is not necessary right now.

Detention Center
You meet your client... and it's quite an awkward meeting. She looks like a young woman, holding a drawing pad. You try to introduce yourself to her, but she seems nervous. Talk to her about all of the available topics.

She doesn't say anything, she just does her nails. She does give you a card, though. Her name is Vera Misham and she works at Drew Studio. Vera's Card will be added to the Court Record.

Move to Drew Studio.

Drew Studio
Well, Drew Studio looks like, well, a studio. There is tape on the ground, so this has to be the crime scene. Look at all of the paintings. There is an unfinished one. There is a rough sketch underneath, but it doesn't look like the rest of the painting. "Drew Misham's Paintings" are added to the Court Record, consisting of Portrait, Acrylic, and Landscape.

You then see Ema, who was expecting you here (Phoenix told her you and Trucy were coming). She tells you the owner of Drew Studios, Drew Misham, was the murder victim. His daughter was arrested later. Drew died of poisoning, a common murder method from a woman. Ema permits you to look around. Talk to Ema:

 * The victim: Ema tells you that Drew did a lot of illustrations. Drew rarely shows his face in public. The only way he could communicate was by mail. Not email, as Drew can't stand technology. The Letter Box will be added to the Court Record. Vera was the only person allowed here, so it could have been her. Drew died while he was being interviewed! His first ever!

 * The defendant: When Vera was arrested, she was screaming. She only agreed to go if she has her "good luck charm". You ask Ema if she found the poison inside Drew's coffee. Ema says "not precisely".

 * The night of the crime: Drew died right in the middle of his interview with a reporter. Vera gave him his coffee as she always does. The reporter was looking at the gimmicks at the back of the room when the crime happened, so apparently, Vera didn't notice him. The reporter wasn't near the coffee - even Vera acknowledges that!

Time to look around. Examine a painting hiding behind a dresser on the left of the screen. Why would Drew hide it? You look at the paint and notice something similar to it. The Hidden Painting will be added to the Court Record.

Examine the coffee cup on the table. It looks like the cup Drew was drinking. Ema, however, will say there were no traces of poison found in the mug. Huh? The Coffee Mug will be added to the Court Record.

Check the Coffee Mug and Examine the lip mark. It looks kind of strange and has a light blue tinge.

Present the Coffee Mug to Ema. Ema will say her forensics stuff made the stain. It found poison on it, but only on the rim somehow.

Talk to Ema about Forensic science. Ema will permit you to bring up anything that looks suspicious to you.

Present the Coffee Mug again. Ema says the solution is to test for atroquinine, the poison found in the Autopsy Report. Ema will now give you a spray. It's quite simple, just touch the Stylus everywhere, and you'll get a reaction. When you get started, spray everywhere. You won't get a reaction, so Trucy suggests trying it on the small table. You get a closer view of the table. Spray on a tiny picture frame. A reaction! The Tiny Frame will be added to the Court Record.

Pan right and Examine the desk on the lower-left. You will zoom in on the desk. Examine the open drawer. It looks like an envelope. It is opened and resealed. The important thing is the date. It's dated back seven years ago! The Red Envelope is added to the Court Record.

Pan left and Present the Red Envelope to Ema. She will say she took a peek at it! Is she the one who opened it? Ema will show you a "tool" that will help you. It is called an X-ray Analyzer. (It has a real name, but it's too hard for Ema to pronounce).

X-ray Analyzer
Ema will now show you how to use it, with a lottery ticket as a test subject. You just need to turn the dial anti-clockwise on the lower-right corner to move the X-ray until you get a layer. You will get a reaction. Then you just need to rub it with your stylus. You then need to find four more layers, five in all. When you are done, the result of the ticket will depend on how much you used the game's fast forward feature. If you used it a lot, it will be a losing ticket, and if you used it a little, it will be a winning ticket.

You will now try the red envelope. Do the same thing as you did with the lottery ticket: Adjust and rub. The message inside says:

"Mr. Drew Misham.

I've deposited the $100,000 in the designated account. Please send a receipt once you've confirmed the transfer."

There is another page. Do the same thing as you did with the first.

"Sign the papers and send in the enclosed envelope with the enclosed stamp within 3 days. I need not remind you to speak of this to no one."

It looks like someone wanted Drew to pay for one of his paintings. Ema doesn't say anything. The Red Envelope is updated in the Court Record.

You ask Ema about the reporter. Ema will tell you his name is "Brushel". Brushel is currently interviewing Valant at Sunshine Coliseum! Brushel's Card is added to the Court Record.

Move to Sunshine Coliseum.

Sunshine Coliseum
You find Valant here! He seems overly confident about his comeback. Talk to Valant:

 * The big magic show: If only Zak were alive to see this! Trucy and Valant seem excited to see Magnifi's tricks come alive again.

 * Magnifi Gramarye: It was Magnifi who guided Valant to perform miracles. If the whole world was watching, why would they wait for seven years? Valant blames the law, thanks to "performance rights".

 * Performance rights: Zak had been missing for seven years. Now he is legally dead. Magnifi passed the rights to Zak originally, but now that Zak is dead, it will be Valant who will be carrying on the torch.

Present the Gramarye Envelope to Valant. He will reveal that the signature on the back belongs to Zak! He wants to open it, but you tell him Phoenix doesn't want you to.

Present Brushel's Card to Valant, then Talk to him.

 * Mr. Brushel, Journalist: He says he is at the Detention Center right now. You give him the card, which Valant rips it up. He must not like that journalist.

Move to the Detention Center, via Wright Anything Agency Express.

Detention Center (2)
You will hear someone trying to interview the guard. It looks like it's that Brushel guy, and it looks like you know why Valant hates him. The interviewer introduces himself as Spark Brushel. He has a quirky personality and likes to use quotes a lot! Talk to Brushel:

 * Spark Brushel: Nothing important here. Except he's a journalist and likes to "end quote" a lot!

 * The night of the crime: He doesn't directly answer if he was at Drew Studios that night.

 * The interview: He will now say that he did interview Drew that night! Nothing else, though.

Brushel says he has nothing to say, but he does, however, tell you that he learned a painting was stolen. It contains an old lady with a giant peach floating down the river. Sound familiar?

Move to Drew Studios.

Drew Studio (2)
Present the Hidden Painting to Ema. Ema will reveal to you that Drew was a forger!

 * Forger: She will reveal that Drew makes forgeries - fakes that you can hardly tell apart from the real thing. Drew made a lot of money out of those! There seem to be rough sketches under them, which is why Ema brought the X-ray Analyzer.

Let's check out the paintings. First, Present the Portrait. You will now analyze it. Just do what you did with the lottery ticket and the letter (turn, rub, repeat four more times). It looks like two men playing a game of poker. This isn't like the final painting. Perhaps it's because Drew thinks it didn't matter what's on the rough sketch? There is something odd about this painting, though. You will now analyze the Acrylic. It looks like someone pulling a stand. Could this be a coincidence? You check out one last painting, the Landscape. Under it is someone playing the guitar on a huge stage, with his guitar on fire! This is very strange; for these are sketches of all of the three cases you worked on!

Just who exactly is Drew Misham? What did he have to do with you?

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Succession/Day 2 - Trial Former

You meet Vera in the Lobby. All she can do is draw a smiley face to let you know she is happy that you took her case. She then uses her nail polish again. Drew was a forger, right? Could that job have eventually led to his death?

Trial begins
The Judge looks pretty nervous about the new Jurist System. Klavier reminds the Judge that it is just a test. If so, then where are the jurists? Klavier says they are watching everything by a video camera.

So let's begin. Klavier will present Misham's Autopsy Report, which is added to the Court Record. He will call up his first witness.

As expected, it's Brushel. He says he doesn't like you to jump into conclusions. He will testify about what he saw when the crime was committed.

The Journalist's Story: Cross-Examination
Press on the 4th statement. Then ask about The "star's" coffee. Brushel will say Drew died instantly after taking his first sip. When asked, say the statement is Very important. A new statement is added.

 * He had one sip, if that. The next moment, he was on the floor!

Present the Coffee Mug on that statement. The poison was atroquinine right? Then it would have taken fifteen minutes for the poison to take effect! Drew would have enjoyed his last cup of coffee before he finally passed!

A contradiction, but as usual, Klavier fixes it. He asks the reporter to explain the contradiction. Brushel wishes to stand by his testimony, as he insists Drew died almost instantly after he took that sip. He also says he knew who brought the coffee! Brushel will testify about what he noticed.

What Brushel Noticed: Cross-Examination
A letter? Press Brushel's 2nd statement. Brushel said he barged in ahead of schedule and saw Drew stuffed the letter inside a yellow envelope. When asked, Add to Testimony. A new statement will be added.

 * It was a yellow envelope. ...I heard it was left at the crime scene.

Yellow? Present the Red Envelope. You tell Brushel the correct color of the envelope. You ask Klavier if a yellow one was found at the crime scene. Klavier says there wasn't. Well, it was sent seven years ago. When asked if it was possible that Drew put this inside a red envelope, say It's impossible. If you check the letter, it is assigned to go to Drew Misham. How could Drew possibly write a letter to himself, let alone a suicide note?

Brushel will explain this contradiction to the court. He says he saw Drew look for a postage stamp. He then sent the letter and just like that, fell to his death. This will prompt the Judge into thinking the yellow envelope isn't important to this case - for now, anyway. Brushel is thinking about going home, but you saw something weird on his face. You ask Brushel to testify about this scent of a story.

Brushel's Testimony: The Scent Of A Story
So he interviewed Drew due to blackmail? And did he say something about a case from seven years ago? Could it be that case...?

The Scent Of A Story: Cross-Examination
Use your bracelet on the 5th statement.

 * Say what you will, but Drew's talent was without compare.

Perceive Brushel's right armpit. (Don't confuse his right with your right). He is sweating the moment he mentions Drew's talent! How could this be? When given the chance to show this "talent", Present the Hidden Painting. Brushel will admit that Drew was a forger of paintings. However, he was also known for forging evidence once and again mentions that case seven years ago. This is probably what the $100,000 deal was for! Maybe other criminals wanted him dead!

Klavier will object, saying that they found no connections between Drew's letter and the crime. Brushel will give a summary of his testimonies.

The Interview: A Recap: Cross-Examination
Press on the 4th statement. Brushel then remembers an exception: himself. You are then asked if there was another thing (other than Brushel) that could have left the studio. Say Just one thing. You can't show what left, but you can show how it could have left. Present the Letter Box. Earlier, Brushel told you about Drew writing a letter and putting it in the mailbox.

The Judge and Klavier remind you that the letter isn't very important to this case. A new statement is added.

 * A letter was put in the post from the studio, but I hardly think that matters.

Ignore this statement and Press the 3rd. You are asked if there was something other than the coffee, say I can prove it. Remember the stamp you saw yesterday. What if the stamp was poisoned? What if Drew licked the stamp? And the poison left on his mouth was planted on the mug. Klavier will say they searched the stamp but never found it. He asks you to show proof that the stamp did exist. Present the Tiny Frame.

It looks empty, but remains of the atroquinine poison were planted inside the frame. It looks very tiny, small enough to fit a stamp in! Klavier is in shock as no one told him about this. You conclude that the stamp was the murder weapon! Klavier will ask why someone would use a stamp to murder someone. Drew hid from the world and can only communicate by mail, so someone probably knew about these two facts and used the stamp as a perfect murder weapon. Klavier wants proof that the stamp was sent to Drew. Present the Red Envelope. It says to used the "enclosed stamp" to respond. Klavier objects again. The fact that it was seven years ago makes it hard to prove one thing. Was the stamp really in this letter? Who would try to kill Drew?

That's when a familiar face takes the stand... Oh geez, it's Kristo- oh wait, it's Ema. She has the solution to your problem. Science! She gives you the poison detection spray and wants you to use it on the envelope. Spray the bottom-right corner of the screen. A reaction, stamp-sized! Someone tried to kill Drew seven years ago! If that is true, then why did the poison kill him now? Ema says maybe it's because Drew knew that someone tried to kill him, so he avoided the poison.

Was Drew The Forger, Or Was It Someone Else?
Klavier objects again. If Drew knew that someone tried to kill him, why would he lick the stamp now? Did he just simply forgot about it after seven long years? If not, then why would he lick the stamp if he knew it would kill him? Was he committing suicide? Furthermore, where is the stamp now?

It sounds seemingly impossible, so your case is melting before you. You explain your theory that one piece of evidence in here could be a fake. When asked what, say Drew Misham. The forger sniffed a trap in the stamp, and seven years later, the forger fell into that trap. How is that possible? This is probably because this "forger" was a fake. One "forger" smelled the trap. One "forger" fell into the trap. If it is true, then the one who fell was a fake. When asked who the "real" one is, Present Vera Misham's Profile.

Only two people were living in the studio: Drew Misham and his only daughter, Vera. If Drew wasn't the forger then the other person living there could have been the real one! That person would be Vera!

Vera is called up. She stares at Klavier for a moment. As you hoped, she confirms that she is the real forger!

The courtroom responds in such an uproar, the Judge is forced to call a recess.


text:
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Episode 4: Turnabout Succession/Day 2 - Trial Latter

Vera is doing her nails again. Vera reveals she did the forgeries for her father! When she was little, her father discovered that she has a "talent" for painting (she loves to paint), but not just paintings; she could make just about anything! Her father was proud and before she knew it, she started making forgeries. She didn't know about the world outside her home, now because of this, her father is dead.

What about those rough sketchings underneath? Vera says her father knew you and Trucy. He had been watching your cases since you became an attorney. He probably also knew Phoenix. He was happy to know that the "Wright & Co. Law Offices" are back in business.

Vera was twelve when she started making forgeries. She also knows who sent the letters. However, you are called back in before she can tell you who.

Trial continues
As court comes back in session, you see Vera chewing her fingernails. She stares at Klavier again when he tells her something. Why? Klavier then asks Vera if she painted the forgery you presented earlier. Vera answers that she did. It looks like she is the forger. Klavier shows her the red letter and has her testify about it.

The Red Envelope: Cross-Examination
Press all of Vera's statements except for the third:

 * 1st: Vera says she started working when she was twelve. She probably didn't know that what she was doing was illegal.

 * 2nd: Vera's talent extended to other things: handwriting, fingerprints, signatures, a letter seal, etc. It doesn't sound like Vera is innocent, let alone the $100,000 deal that transpired.

 * 4th: Vera didn't throw away the stamp because there was poison, she kept it because she liked it. Probably one of those commemorative stamps. It looks like she didn't know the stamp was poisoned.

 * 5th: Before they made it to Drew studio, they were making picture books. When they had to meet with someone, Drew would come out as the maker.

Vera liked the "commemorative" stamp because it had her favorite people at the time. This is new! Vera will add a new statement based on this fact.

 * ...The stamp was a picture of my favorite magicians... so I kept it...

Magicians?! The Troupe Gramarye? Present the Magic Show Ticket! It is because of her love with the Troupe Gramarye that the murder plan was a failure!

The Forged Evidence?
You see Klavier in a mental state. He asks Vera if something from a diary was the first thing she forged other than a painting. Vera confirms that it was from a page from a certain diary. Klavier goes crazy upon hearing this! He asks Vera if the book had a mark of a silk hat on the back. Vera confirms this also. What's going on?

Klavier then tells you that Phoenix hasn't told you everything about the case seven years ago. That page is the forged evidence that Phoenix presented, the one that determined his "fate"! And the one who made it was none other than Vera Misham! Klavier asks Vera who asked her to create the evidence. Vera hesitates before answering... But before she can do so, she chokes and collapses before saying "the Devil".

Trial ends
What just happened? A report says that Vera was poisoned, but just below the lethal dosage, and is now put in intensive care. She is not to be disturbed. How was Vera poisoned? What page did she make that was forged? How did this affect Phoenix? Who was this person that made her create it, and why?

All questions point to that case seven years ago. It looks like to solve this mystery, we're going to have to look a little closer towards seven years ago...
