I suspect nobody bothered to look earlier than that because obviously there were plenty of people there that morning. Generally you want a small suspect pool that gets smaller as evidence comes in. Neither Nick nor Edgeworth thought about the director and other crew because they don't really know much about how TV is produced, also, so naturally all assumed that the period from 1pm to the time of the murder was relevant.

Dr. Buttass posted:Go look up "learned helplessness" sometime. For reference: learned helplessness means that because the defendant thinks he's hosed anyway, he doesn't bother telling you everything he knows because he believes it won't change anything. After all, this is Japanifornia with a 90+% conviction rate and the defendants can't see that Phoenix is a protagonist and thus destined to succeed at pretty much everything he does.

Well, they'd better have been discussing some other show at that meeting. I'm not a televologist, but I'm pretty sure that no costumed hero show can really survive one of its leads murdering the other.

Dirk the Average posted:Is that hamburger sushi? Why on earth would anyone want that over normal sushi? Novelty sushi like that is pretty common in kaitenzushi (conveyor sushi) restaurants. If you go to a real sushi place you'd be hard-pressed to find it, but chain stores have stuff like that all over.

Case 3 - Turnabout Samurai Investigation (Day 2) - Part 1 : Say, you think WP's got a chance? : I guess that really depends on the people we found out about in today's trial. : The director and producer...? : Yeah, them. : Well, what are we doing here then!? Let's get to the studios! Nothing new to look at that's new, but we can talk to Maya! : What do you think we should do? : W-what do I... huh!? Why don't we do what you just said!? We gotta get the scoop on this director and producer. : Oh, right. Then there's no point hanging out here. : Hmm. We don't have enough information to make a case yet. : That's exactly the same thing you said yesterday! Just admit it: you don't have a clue what happened. : There's not enough information! So let's get moving. : No one's here. : Right, now that they have Ms. Oldbag in custody. I guess they don't have anyone else to replace her... : H-hey! In the guard station! Look! She left her donuts! ... : ... What? I wasn't going to eat them! : The computer that runs the studio security cameras. Huh? It looks like it's been turned off for the day. No surveillence photos for us! So, instead, we head off to find more things to poke at. : Hey, Nick. : It looks like Detective Gumshoe isn't here today. : You're right. He's probably up to his neck in paperwork after the commotion at today's trial. : So, Nick... Remember that "Studio Two" we heard about at the trial today? It was down that path with the fallen tree, right? : Yeah, I think that's what they said. : Maybe the director and the rest of them are there today? : Now's our chance, Nick! Let's check it out! An excellent idea. : This... is Studio Two? : I thought so... : It doesn't really look much like a "studio," does it? : No, that it does not. : It looks pretty sturdy for a movie set trailer. : Are we sure this is a studio? Time to poke around. : There's some flowers here. : Wow, so pretty! They're taking good care of these. : Don't get to close. That fence looks dangerous. This case seems to have a bunch of typos. : On closer inspection, this trailer looks like it's been here for a while. I don't think this is part of some temporary film set. : These look like materials for making a movie set. : They've been sitting here for quite some time. This might as well be a junkyard. : There's a big "2" painted here. : Probably because this is Studio Two? : Probably... Though it doesn't look anything like a studio. Over to the other side... : There's nothing left on the plates. : Hey, so they ate t-bone steaks too. : What is it with steaks around here? : Hey! There's always room for steak! : But... something does seem out of place... : What? : I... don't know. It just feels "odd." : An incinerator. Apparently they just put this one in. It's already covered in soot. They must not clean it much. : A light van for moving staff and equipment around. They've kept it in pretty good shape. Looks like it'd run fine. : Well, lets go for a drive! : Sure... if I had a license. : Nick! You don't have a driver's license!? : Why are you showing me your attorney's badge, Nick? That's all there is to see around here, though. Let's check out Studio One. : I... don't really want to be in here. : Yeah... It is a murder scene. : I want to go someplace else. Nick? : (*sigh*...) Okay, maybe not. Maybe over here? : Look, it's that assistant girl. Hey! : I heard about the trial! Great job, guys! : Oh? Oh hoh hoh. Don't mention it. : Is it true they caught the security lady!? : Oh! Oh... oh hoh hoh! : Actually, she just called me. : She told me to cover up that drain... : You mean that one? : (Wow, what a mess...) : I... I know... I'm not so good with handiwork. Some assistant, right? : Yeah, but you do work on the props, and the backdrops, right? : R-right. Just... lots of times they end up looking worse than they did before I fixed them. : Oh? Oh! Well, I'm sure these things happen. Nothing to worry yourself about! : You're right! I won't! : (Personally, I think she should worry at least a little bit more...) : Um, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the guard station. I'm supposed to fill in for Ms. Oldbag. : Right! See you later, then! : Good luck with your investigation. She leaves. Let's check her handiwork. : So, the fanboy they were talking about in the trial today... : He came in through that drain? : So it seems. I guess they covered it up in a hurry. : Hey... Hey, Nick! : If that drain's covered, the boy won't be able to get in. : Uh, yeah. I think that was the idea...? : I feel kinda sorry for him, though. Don't you? : What, you want to rip the grate off? : Really, Nick? We can!? Petty vandalism to cause problems for random people for no reason? Sure, why not! : Well, I guess some things are just made to be broken. : Yay! You know, Nick, you're pretty swell sometimes. : (Sometimes...?) : There. That should make the kids happy. : The things we do... : This is where the Steel Samurai costume was, on the day of the murder. : That's what Mr. Powers says, at least. I guess they snuck in and took it while he was sleeping. : But Nick, what if Mr. Powers hadn't been sleeping? I wonder what the killer was planning on doing then? : Huh... (She's got a point!) Not much else in here... : Ho hoh! You look a little out of place. : It's the clothes, isn't it? I thought my camo vest might do the trick... : Kind of an "alternative guard fashion" thing. Now we can question her! : So, how are the studios doing? : There's police wandering around everywhere, it's terrible. They won't even let me clean up. Don't want me "disturbing evidence." : I haven't even cleaned up our lunch plates from the day of the murder! : You mean those plates with the steak bones left over on them in the employee area? : Yeah. Can you believe it? : Do kids sneak in here a lot? : Well... : I don't think there's that many of them, but I do see one in particular a bunch. He's always gawking at the sets, or snapping pictures. You should see Old Windbag's eyes flash when she sees him. : She has a bit of trouble catching him though... : I heard something at the trial today. They said that the director and producer were here the day of the murder... : Oh, sorry... I was in the prop storage room, so I didn't see them. I guess they were here, though. : The studio head seemed pretty eager to keep us quiet. : So they were trying to protect the director? : More the producer, really. : The producer's our real star here. She saved these studios from the brink of disaster and kept them running. : I don't think we'd still be in business if it weren't for that producer! : (The producer, huh?) Well, that was informative! We should check in with Will, though. : Oh, Mr. Wright! Thank you for earlier. : Not at all. We got lucky, to tell the truth. : You can say that again! : Let's not. : So, WP! Do you have any leads that might get us going in the right direction? : Hmm... S-sorry, but no. : Be sure to tell us anything that comes to mind, no matter how small. : We can't rely on getting lucky again tomorrow. : Y-yes... *sniff* : Do, er, "fanboys" sneak into the studios often? : No, not that I know of. That security lady's pretty strict with them. : But, in today's testimony, didn't she say they were often hanging around? : The kids really, really love the Steel Samurai. They sneak past when she's not looking, I guess. : Was the director present at the morning run-through? : Y-yes, yes he was. He was directing how the Steel Samurai and the Evil Magistrate should move. : Why didn't you tell us that before!? : W-well, just, the studio asked us to keep quiet... : That has nothing to do with this! I hate to repeat myself, but Nick here is a newbie lawyer! Fresh off the bar! When he loses, he's going to lose big! : I... I see. *sniff* : (Whose side is she on!?) : You aren't hiding anything else from us, are you!? : N-no, I sure hope not. : Yes? : Is it heavy, that spear? : It's pretty hefty, yeah. I don't think the average person would be able to swing it around effectively. : Hmm... : And... that's the spear that broke or something during the morning run-through? : Oh yes, I goofed on a round kick, you see... I broke the spear. The security lady fixed it for me right away though. : With duct tape. We heard. Now, for lack of other ideas, let's check out Studio Two again. : (This place is deserted...) : Eek! N-N-Nick! W-w-what was that noise!? : Someone must be inside... : H-Hello? ... : No answer. : Pretty suspicious, if you ask me, Nick! Let's go in! : I'm not sure we should be barging in... ...Huh. It's locked. : What? Don't we have a key? : No. But there's probably one in the guard station at the main gate. : Then what are we waiting for? Let's borrow it! : (If they'll let us...) So, back to the main gate! : The security guard station. I can see the computer that runs the security cameras. : Oh, please don't touch anything in there. : The security lady would knock the stuffing out of me if she knew. : (I really want the key to that trailer... Maybe next time...) No dice. Maybe there'll be a key in Powers' dressing room? : Wait, you first! Who are you!? : You look pretty suspicious to me! : Whatever, l4m3rs! How can j00 not know the great Sal Manella!? I make teh L33T SH0WZ! The Steel Samurai? Mine! RTFC! (Read The Film Credits!) : I'm so sorry! I, just, you looked so... Sorry! : ... : W-what is it? : You know, on closer inspection... : Hey, do j00 do a lot of "cosplay," coz that costume r0x0rz!... *drool* : Huh? Mmph! LOL! Buffer overrun! *pant* : You've triggered my CR34T1V3 P0W3RZ! Yes... yes, it's coming to me! "Pink Princess"! The sequel to the Steel Samurai... "Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo!" : ROFL... LMAO! : P-"Pink Princess"...? : Why's it gotta be "Little" Olde Tokyo!? Why can't it have a cool name, like "Neo Olde Tokyo"!? : Maya, we really need to talk about "cool"... I...yeah. Sal Manella. Let's...let's question him. Maybe it won't be horrible. : Did you notice anything unusual on the day of the murder? : Oh, I know who j00 d00dz are. That security lady told j00 about us, eh? : That's right. : It was a pretty regular day. We had a run-through for an action scene in the morning. Then a meeting from lunchtime in the Studio Two trailer. : Heh. I was so busy I didn't even get a chance to eat lunch! : A t-bone steak, was it? : Yeah... sux0rz! I hate missing out on food... : Nick... what does "Sucksores" mean? : No idea... : Anyway, I was in a meeting from noon till after 4:00. : With the producer, and some bigwigs from the network. : (Mr. Hammer's time of death was estimated at 2:30 PM. If he's telling the truth, that meeting gives him an alibi...) : About the producer who was at the meeting with you... : Oh, you mean Dee Vasquez? She's a genius. M4d sk1llz, all the way. Scary, though. *sweats* She brought these studios back from the brink of destruction. She's the one who made it possible for me to make the Steel Samurai! : You had a meeting with her on the day of the murder, right? : Yeah, we were together from noon to 4:00 PM, the whole time. : Who exactly are these "bigwigs" people keep mentioning? : Oh, the boss over at the network, and some sponsors. Also a few production guys. They piled into a limousine and got her right around noon. : Major tension! *sweats* : Were all of them with you the entire time? : Yeah, unfortunately. They're all gray-haired geezers... *scowl* : (Hmm... sounds like they'd all be reliable witnesses.) And let's show him our badge. : I try not to pay much attention to things that don't interest me. LOL. : W-why are you staring at me like that...? ...ugh. Next time: Talking to someone that isn't a fat, stinky pervert.

Case 3 - Turnabout Samurai Investigation (Day 2) - Part 2 : You again! : Eeeek! : How rude, acting like you've seen a ghost! : You... certainly got back to your post quickly. : Oh the police took me away, they did. They pulled out a spare Steel Samurai costume! Told me to "put it on." Can you imagine? How could I, a sweet little old lady, wear a giant suit like that? : Mr. Powers is pretty tall... : As soon as they saw there was no way I could wear it, they let me go. : (I guess that would rule out her being the murderer.) : Anyway! : Know this, whippersnapper! This old lady NEVER forgets a slight or insult! And you won't get any information out of me! My lips are sealed! : You sure are talking a lot for someone with sealed lips. : Starting now! One, two, three, mmmph! : (This lady's too much...) : Umm, about that kid you said you saw... : If I see him again, I'm taking him down! : N-Nick! Look at her eyes! She's serious! : About the director, the one who was here on the day of the murder... : If I see him again, I'm taking him down! : Nick! I think she's losing it! : H-hey! Wait! : Hey, um, kiddy-o! What's yer name, sport? : I'm not a kid, so don't talk to me like that! : H-huh!? : But you... You are a kid! What a rude little brat. That's no way to talk to an adult! : I don't see no adults here! Hippie fashion chick! : H-hippie fashion...? : Nick... I think I'm being mocked. : (You got to hand it to Maya, she's pretty sharp. And pretty mad...) : I'm Cody! Cody Hackins. : So you're a fan of the Steel Samurai? : How dare you utter that name, evildoer! : What do you mean? We're on the Steel Samurai's side! : H-hah! Hah hah! You can't fool me! : Okay... then what's the last line said by the innkeeper in Episode 8? : Hmph... not bad, kiddy-o. : Watch it! : (What are they doing!?) : Say, you heard anything about the incident the other day? : You were here, weren't you? : ... : Did you see anything...? : He... he... : ? : He... always... The Steel Samurai always wins! Always! Yeah, I saw 'em! I saw everything! : What!? : But... but no way am I telling you losers! : Wha--!? Wait... : Lemme go! : ... He's gone. : Huh? : Something fell off the table when he bumped into it on his way out. : Why was this sitting there, I wonder? : Anyway, what was that kid saying? : He "saw everything"... : Where's that old windbag? : Odd of her to leave her post... : Nick! That was her! : Y-yeah. Sounds like she's chasing after that boy. : Uh oh, she tripped! : (Maya sure looks happy...) : Hey, hey, Nick. Now's our chance! Let's check out the guard station! : Good idea. : ... : Oh! : This is it, Nick! : The key to that trailer in Studio Two! : We'll be borrowing this, right, Nick? : ... It opened. : Great! Let's go, Nick! : (She seems eager all of a sudden...) : Well, you first, Nick! : (Ah, not THAT eager.) : Eek! S-someone's in here! : Names. : O-our n-names? Um, w-we're WP's lawyers, and, um... : I see. ... : A-and who might you...? : Dee Vasquez. The producer. : (Dee Vasquez... She's quite beautiful.) Let's take a look around. : An old movie poster. "'Dynamite Samurai' starring Jack Hammer." I guess Mr. Hammer used to be quite the star. : "'Samurai Summer' starring Jack Hammer." This poster's quite old. : Wow! It's been years since I saw that show! It was one of those typical summer romance stories... but it was great! : A typical summer romance... with a samurai on a horse? : Another old movie poster. "'The Singing Samurai' starring Jack Hammer." What the hell do samurai sing about? Chopping off heads? : Oh. My. God. That movie was the best! It's about a samurai who sings his way to fame and fortune! : Mr. Hammer was a very accomplished singer, you know. : Singing samurai stars... What's next? Ninja ballet? : It looks like they were designing a set to use for the Steel Samurai show. They've got some figures for how much the set costs... I can't believe they spend that much money on these sets! : The glass is frosted. I can't see outside. This far into October, the dimming daylight makes it feel like winter's coming. : This is where they had that meeting. There are documents and paper cups scattered around. : Nothing in here that could be a clue. Just some paper cups and crumpled documents. Now, let's question the producer. : I was wondering if you could tell me about the day of the murder. : ... ... : M-Ms. Vasquez? : Script. : E-excuse me? : Script. I'm looking for a script. : A s-script? : "The Steel Samurai, Episode 13." I need it. : Umm... could we ask you a bit about the day of the murder? : I need to read it. ... : ... : ... (We're getting nowhere fast.) : Um, w-we'd really like to ask you about the Steel Samurai! : ... ... : Ms. Vasquez? : It's on TV. Every week. That's all I have to say about that. : N-Nick! She's telling us to go watch TV!? The nerve of her! : Hey, don't get mad at me. : About the director... Sal Manella, was it? What, er, exactly is his role here...? : Perhaps I didn't make myself clear? I'm looking for a script. I can't be bothered with anything else. ... : Nick? : Are all people in the entertainment business this... weird? : It's startin to look like it. : Nick, let's get out of here. Isn't there someplace else we have to check? : Y-yeah. : Wait. : Y-yes? : W-why do we have to do your errands...! : ... : ... : ... : I... I don't think I like her. *sniff* : Don't cry. She'll take it as a sign of weakness. Alright. We'll give it to him if we see him. And the badge... : I'm not interested. ...oh. Well...I guess we might as well deliver that note. If we present the memo... : Huh? "Bring the script for Episode 13"? Episode 13... where did I put that one? ... : I must have left it somewhere... *sweats* U-uh oh... My rear end is p0wned if I don't find it... *shakes* : Nick... : It might be quicker to just look in all the places where he's likely to have been. : I agree. Well, that was unhelpful. At least there's some stuff to look at that I forgot last time. : Mr. Powers's bag. I wonder what's inside? : Hey! : Supermarket tabloids? Wow. I'm kind of shocked. : Maya! Leave those alone! (Wolf Men Found On Mars...? I'll have to buy that issue!) : There's a bunch of snacks on the table. They must give these to the employees. : H-hey! Nick! : W-what now? : Th-the snacks! There was twice this much here before! : Ah. I, uh, I ate them. They were past their expiration date anyway. ROFL! : ... : (She's biting her lip and staring at me with tears welling in her eyes...) Anyway... : Let's find what we need and get out of here quick, Nick. : Hey! Look! That's the chair the director sits in! I've always wanted to sit in one of these. : (The director...!) Maya... Take a look around that chair for me, would you? Remember that script the director was talking about? Didn't he say he'd left it somewhere? : Ahah! : Good work! We present the script... : Ah. We hand it over. : ... : ... Umm... uh... You're not going to talk to us? : Quiet. I'm reading. : ...! Just you hold on! What's the big idea!? Who do you think you are anyway!? And, and do you even know who we are!? : ... Powers's lawyers? : Umm... right. : Am I a suspect? : N-no, it's just, well, no, but... : ... You wanted to know about the day of the murder? : Y-yes. Anything you could tell us would be a big help. : ... You know there was a meeting here at noon? : Yes. With the director and the people from the network... : Correct. Now, listen closely. None of the people in this trailer that afternoon went to Studio One. It was impossible for us to leave. : Impossible? Why? : The path was blocked. : The... path? : On the day of the murder, the path that leads here was blocked? : You saw Mr. Monkey on the way here, correct? : M-"Mr. Monkey"? : The monkey with the broken head. : They didn't start moving the head out of the way until after 3:00. It was after 4:00 by the time the path was unblocked. Capice? Everyone in this trailer was stuck here until the path was cleared. Stuck in this trailer. Stuck until after 4:00. Hammer died at 2:30. Thus, none of us could have gone to Studio One. : W-what!? : It's true. A crane came just after 3:00 to move the head. We called some people in to clear the way. I'm sure they'd corroborate my story, : B-but wait! What if the head fell over after 2:30? Then you could have gone to Studio One! : 2:30... the time of death. ... Very well. Come. : When it wasn't broken, it announced the time... in "ooks." One "ook" per hour. Ook ook ook ook. Always with the ooking. : (It IS a monkey, after all.) : Check its head. The clock inside stopped when it broke. : ...! Nick, it's stopped at 2:15. : 2:15...? : That's right. : Therefore, we're innocent. : Mr. Hammer died in Studio One at 2:30... : See? Good bye. She leaves. : What do we do, Nick? : There isn't anyone besides WP who could have killed Hammer! : It's over... We're finished! : (It sure doesn't look good. Guess we should head back to the office and plan our strategy...) Next time: Doomed? South Carolina Code Ann., Subsections 63-19-2420 and 63-19-2430 posted:Loitering in a billiard room.

One place Japanifornia law lags is the fire code. There are many narrow passages near weak structures that are easily blocked for hours at a time. Either that or the "keep off the grass" laws are so draconian noone dares to even think of violating them.

Why is the running motif of this game unusual clocks?Added Space posted:Either that or the "keep off the grass" laws are so draconian noone dares to even think of violating them. They do treat the woods as literally impenetrable, and it's weird. Even something as simple as Edgeworth saying "there's no way anyone wielding the samurai spear could've gotten through the dense trees" would've worked, but instead no one mentions how much outdoors there is between the parts of the studio.

It's probably just to keep the mystery simple, but yeah, it's kinda weird.

: What if the attacker came out of the woods and climbed over the hedges? : Couldn't have. There's invisible walls all around the trees. : Well, what if the attacker came in by going over the walls around the sets? : There are invisible walls there, too. In case any employees try to go out of bounds by climbing crates or double-jumping. : What about the- : Invisible walls. Every possible way in or out but through the front gate is blocked off by invisible walls. And the only person who came through the front gate was Will Powers. : And he certainly didn't noclip in! : Mr. Wright, the scourge of invisible walls is well known to the court. Why, I can't mow my lawn for the walls keeping me on the driveway! : There's a doghouse in my yard. Do I own a dog? Why can't I look at it?

Does being a lawyer mean you just get to steal stuff all the time and get away with it? The wiretap in the last case could be excused as phoenix just taking a picture, but stealing the keys off a security guard to open up a locked and private room?

Case 3 as a rule is usually the weakest.

The absolute worst case 3 is in AA2. But they make up for it in Case 4. 2nd best case 4 in the series.

Poor Penny. During development, her name was an afterthought and it was considered impressive for you to remember it.
