In the scene, Phoenix seems to be looking at the main gate *from the inside*. He did a, uh, turnabout, because the old bag snuck up behind him or whatever. So from that perspective, the employee area is to his right.

Here comes Phoenix Wright, the turnabout attorney, fresh off proving the innocence of his friend Harry Butz, the object of derision, and the guilt of Frank Sahwit, the purported witness, and Redd White of Bluecorp, the Americophile. He faced off against Dick Gumshoe, detective, and Miles Edgeworth, a posh and sharky prosecutor, but ultimately prevailed. Now he is investigating the case of Will Powers, an inspiring actor in children's television, who is accused of kiling his co-star Jack Hammer, a former action movie star whose career had been in decline. Oh, we're meeting our next witness, a crotchety elderly security guard, whose name appears to be... Oldbag? That can't be right.

Part 42: Episode 3, Day 1, Investigation: Old Pal Music: Silence ![]() Okay, I guess we're not actually "inside" yet. ![]() Sound: Light Bulb An old friend is here to greet us, though! Sorry, an old "pal"! ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Sound: Damage 2 Sound: Guilty ![]() Sound: Whack Good! ![]() Sound: Whack Haha he can't deal with his first ever loss! ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack I don't know if it's because we're out in the woods or what, but instead of music I hear birds chirping after every line of dialogue here. It's rather strange. ![]() Sound: Objection Maya says: ![]() ![]() Sound: Stab 2 ![]() ![]() ![]() Maya I think you broke him. ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() Speaking of which, how did that performance review go Gumshoe? ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb Speaking of which, what are you doing here, Detective? ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization Oh, just sightseeing, certainly not out to ruin another one of your cases... ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() I think we've gotten a little off track here. Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal ![]() Our favorite detective actually gets his own theme music, which we get to hear for the first time here. ![]() Anyway, we'll start with looking around, as usual. Starting with this weird mess in front of us. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() The wind, right... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't most studios do that? I remember taking a studio tour in LA a long time ago and seeing a bunch of extras from "Angels and Demons" in cardinal robes hanging out and smoking in an alley. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack Oh leave the poor guy alone, you're just bullying him now. ![]() I bet this camera will cause us problems. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() We can chat with him just as easily sitting down, what's the big deal? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well there's our destination - Studio One, the scene of the crime. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() Wait a minute. Did the old bag security lady let us go down here knowing we'd be locked out anyway? That sneaky witch! ![]() Time to remind Gumshoe of who are are again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The map just prompts a "don't care" reaction: ![]() ![]() Fair enough. Although you are just standing there waiting for us to move on for as long as we want. ![]() Let's see if we can pick the detective's brain a bit. ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() I still maintain Edgeworth made up that new autopsy report on the spot, so don't you worry about it Gumshoe. ![]() Sound: Select Jingle Nothing real useful there yet. We just still don't know enough about what happened. ![]() Got any more for us on this topic? ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() So there must be a reason our client was arrested so quickly. What do you have on him, detective? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization Relax, Maya, proving witnesses wrong is what we do. I'm still betting that she only saw someone in the costume, and can't prove who was in it, but it might take some time for us to get there. ![]() ![]() Speaking of the security lady... ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() We must have the wrong badge, she didn't like ours at all. ![]() ![]() Bah she didn't give us anything. Well, I guess we stole a map from her. ![]() Sound: Stab ![]() Very well, detective, show us this evidence! ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Damage 2 ![]() ![]() Couldn't someone just walk around that camera off the path? Also, it seems like someone could have been hiding in the abandoned Studio Two. Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal ![]() Once we've hit all the topics, we get a new scene: ![]() ![]() Didn't you just say he didn't look happy? ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite apparently having free rein of the place, the gate to Studio One is still locked and we can't get in. Maybe we can get the security lady to help us now that we have the detective's blessing. Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Who doesn't? ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization Oops, busted! Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() ![]() ![]() What, you expect her to withhold evidence from the detective? That's just life as a defense attorney, not "making your life harder", sheesh. ![]() Looks like we have the pleasure of further conversation with the old bag. ![]() ![]() ![]() Can't argue with that logic, Gumshoe scenes are always great. ![]() ![]() Yeah, we saw. ![]() ![]() Some of these seem like repeats, but maybe she has more to say now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() Sound: Damage 2 ![]() As annoying as she is, I'm not really reading killer from her. I guess we'll see. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There has to be a story behind Hammer's career downturn in here somewhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hmm, maybe there's something there with the photo timestamp being tampered with? Or someone messed with the computer before Oldbag got around to looking at the photos? ![]() Well, those conversations weren't all that productive. Time to play the "show everyone our new evidence" game! Gumshoe and Oldbag don't care about it, how about the others? Music: Silence ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() But first, Maya apparently needs to be talked off a ledge. ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Music: Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters Theme ![]() Maya doesn't actually care about the autopsy report either, but we can talk to her some more. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Assuming we trust that the camera actually catches everyone that goes by, and no one was hiding in Studio Two for awhile or something, sure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We'll get back there in a second. Music: Silence ![]() First let's see what our client is up to. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb I'm not sure why a flashback was necessary there. ![]() ![]() ![]() Before we go, let's poke at this guy again. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, where to from here? It's easy to miss, but.... ![]() We actually have a new location, only accessible from the studio's main gate. So next time we'll dig around in the employee area!

You know what - I'm going to say it since you asked it in the post. I don't like doughnuts. They are usually way too large, far too sticky on your hands and overly doughy. Cake is much better - you can choose the size for yourself and you can eat it with a fork and it complements coffee as well.

Part 43: Episode 3, Day 1, Investigation: The Many-Stomached Thief![]() Looks like we've found our client's trailer and/or dressing room. ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb Are we investigating or touring here? ![]() ![]() ![]() Looks like there's no one to talk to here after all, so let's take Maya's suggestion and poke around a bit. ![]() For the first time since the crime scene last episode, we can "Slide" our view to investigate multiple screens. It's still oddly silent for this part of the investigation. ![]() Anyway, let's poke around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't you have your own office now Phoenix? You could put your name on the entrance there, too! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As you might expect, this scene unlocks the dressing room as a destination, but we'll finish looking around outside first. ![]() I was aiming for the trash can, but I think we actually got the vending machine. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Up until the last couple lines, I still thought they were sifting through the trash and disappointed they didn't find any treasure. Ah well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Could be anything, open it up and look around? No? ![]() ![]() ![]() Good news for us, any evidence left behind maybe hasn't been tampered with yet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When we were kids my brother used to say he had a special section of his stomach just for apple pie. I'm pretty sure he just didn't want to finish his dinner. ![]() On the other side of the lot, we have a suspicious hole in the wall here. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack Could've fooled me. Think the grate will matter later? Where does the drain lead? Could a small individual or animal have used it to bypass the security cameras? ![]() ![]() ![]() Can't have you putting it back on, we'd need a new background! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I've got my eye on you, painting. You mysteriously show up somewhere else I'll notice it! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Depends on the slope and length of the hill, I guess. And how much exercise you're really looking to get? ![]() Nothing else here, so let's head into our client's dressing room. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Still silent in here. I triple-checked my settings to make sure I hadn't accidentally left the music turned off or something. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, now, we already made the outfit jokes last episode. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Between the window being locked and the couch sitting right under it, it doesn't seem like someone snuck in the window while Will Powers was sleeping. Maybe he left the door unlocked? Or maybe he left his costume somewhere else? ![]() ![]() ![]() Believe your client, Phoenix! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I checked, it's the same line here even if you didn't look at the empty lunch plate outside and get the other "extra stomach" line. But so far, Maya has at least three stomachs. ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() Phoenix we need every clue we can get, respecting the privacy of our client is not real high on the priority list. ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() Aha, now we can get into the crime scene! ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Select Jingle We have what we came for, but let's keep being thorough here. ![]() Starting with making sure there isn't more to find in this bag. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm glad Phoenix is no longer considering shaving his head and back to liking his spiky hair. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() Phoenix is too busy not reading the law books in his office to understand someone else's passions. Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() On our way over to Studio One, we stop to show off our new cardkey to the security lady. I'm pretty sure we should be keeping the fact that we have this thing a secret, but I can't help myself. I did totally save first though! ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Stab ![]() ![]() ![]() Well that was worth it. But what kind of security guard doesn't have full access to the site? Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal ![]() Let's show off to the detective, too! ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Stab ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Phoenix is no fun. Music: Maya Fey ~ Turnabout Sisters Theme ![]() Might as well see what Maya has to say about the cardkey herself. ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Yeah! Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal ![]() We can't actually move there directly yet, we have to examine the gate again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() It's been a longer twistier road than I expected, but next time we might actually finally get to see the crime scene!

Part 44: Episode 3, Day 1, Investigation: A Picture Better Be Worth a Lot Music: Silence ![]() We've finally made it! Now to look for clues! ![]() Buck up, Maya! This isn't your first crime scene, after all! And there's no dead body still on the scene, either! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() Once again, we have no one to talk to, so let's look around at everything but that ![]() First up, a simple ladder. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Is that supposed to be a "step-parents are real parents" pun? ![]() ![]() Fancy camera... too bad it wasn't rolling during the murder. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, Maya... Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() Sound: Realization Sound: Light Bulb Finally, a fresh face to interrogate! ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() So is that thing around her neck one of the props? I can't tell if it's a stopwatch, a bottle of perfume, or a hand grenade. ![]() Did Maya pass the bar exam some time in the last month, or does she just not know what "we" means? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I like Penny already. Way better than Oldbag. ![]() Music: Dick Gumshoe - Detective Gumshoe, Pal ![]() No, I don't know why Gumshoe's theme starts playing here now, but I like it better anyway so I'm not going to complain. ![]() Anyway, let's keep looking around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Right, big difference there I bet. ![]() ![]() Classic director's chair. ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Where? I don't see that there. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Weird-looking panel here. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Everyone just wants to go straight to the top. ![]() Okay, time to look at the odd outline here. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ooh, that's what I thought during the flashback we got! ![]() ![]() Well that's all there is to see, guess it's time to show this lady our badge to let her know we mean business. ![]() ![]() ![]() No real reaction to our badge or anything else we're carrying. ![]() Just two conversation topics, too. If we don't get something actionable here, we're at a dead end. It's a little weird that Penny won't even show up until you examine a random background object (the camera). Just making sure that the player is still using all the parts of the investigation game I guess. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() Rare typo from what has been an excellent localization so far. ![]() ![]() Music: Logic and Trick ![]() Is that Oldbag back there watching the scene? Also this shot looks more like the Employee Area? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wonder, why did Hammer wander over to Studio One by himself, anyway? ![]() Music: Silence ![]() It would've been nice to get some confirmation of WP's alibi, but that would probably be too easy. Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seems like we're out of luck, but the game is here to save us with a bonus scene! ![]() ![]() I like how Maya has jumped right on board with calling our client "WP". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() Music: Suspense ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization The last case had the victim possessing her sister to write out a list of names for us to read in court to entice a confession. Seems like we should at least hear Penny out. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Was there a director or some other non-assistant staff around? Or are we really looking at a four-person locked-box studio murder with our client, the victim, Penny, and Oldbag? Wait, did someone sneak in through the open grate in the Employee Area? Then steal the samurai suit and run off to kill the Hammer? How did they get back out? ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() Maybe? The images earlier showed she was hanging out in the Employee Area, too. And she said she only checks the photos at the end of the day. ![]() Music: Silence ![]() ![]() Uh, okay, I guess? Not like we have any other leads. Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() Let's see if we can get anything more specific out of Penny first, though. ![]() ![]() ![]() No kidding, Edgeworth would have a field day with that. Though come to think of it, if the killer was someone outside of the studio, they're going to be a lot harder for us to track down. Can we go investigate the victim yet? ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Our profile for the assistant. Game, if you're going to give us her full name anyway, why not put it up in the profile header? I wonder if she also has anything to do with costumes. Oh, look, another name pun - Penny-Nickels. Later we'll meet her cousin, Dime Quarters. ![]() Well, nothing more to do here anyway. Let's blow past Gumshoe and confront the old bag again! Music: Silence ![]() Okay, deep breaths, you can do this Phoenix. Time to yell at an old lady! ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() We have, at the end of the last episode. Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() Let's get straight to the point, shall we? ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Geez, Maya, be cool! ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() Sound: Super Shock ![]() Sound: Stab ![]() Sound: Whack Sound: Damage 2 ![]() ![]() Wow, Maya, way to rat her out. ![]() Sound: Whack I smell a rant coming, I hope you're a fast reader: ![]() Sound: Objection Sound: Drama Pound Sound: Zooma ![]() ![]() ![]() There is still no music, but the birds are chirping again. ![]() Time to take a peek at that computer! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I mean, yeah, obviously. ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() quote:Leaving the computer alone just dumps us back to the examine screen without anything helpful. ![]() ![]() That's when Jack Hammer went over from the Employee Area to Studio One. ![]() Also true. Maybe she missed someone following right behind him? ![]() Three options here, but I wrote it down a couple updates ago figuring I would need to remember it later. ![]() quote:Picking either incorrect answer just dumps us back to the examine screen again: ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb Music: Suspense ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization That sure looks just like a guy in the costume. Also it sure seems like the legs on that costume are way too long for whoever is wearing it; it's unlikely to actually be Will Powers in there, right? ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Eh, we'll see. I'm not convinced he would have noticed. ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() Photo #2? So where is Photo #1? ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Would the first photo be Hammer going to Studio One? Why would that one be missing? Or is it someone else who also went there? Are there more photos after the second one that are also missing? How did the murderer leave the studio afterward? ![]() Sound: Select Jingle Music: Investigation - Opening ![]() ![]() I guess? Seems like we're going to need a lot more than that though. We barely know anything about what happened or why. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Pong ![]() ![]() What? No, we have way more dirt we need to dig up here. ![]() No no no we're nowhere near ready for trial yet. I had like eight pieces of evidence before trial last time. You want to go with just a photo? (And an autopsy report, map, and cardkey, I guess...) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Wow, that's really all for the initial investigation. Music: Jingle - It Can't End Here ![]() Well, I guess next time we're off to trial already! quote:If you go back to look for Penny before checking out the security computer, she's mysteriously gone...

Part 45: Episode 3, Day 2, Trial: Hammer, Meet Nail Music: Silence ![]() That's odd - it was October 16th last update. For once the trial didn't start the next day I guess. But we just decided to not investigate anything at all for a whole day? I don't get it. ![]() Sound: Gallery Oh, good, Edgeworth again. ![]() Sound: Gavel Music: Trial ![]() Well, here we go again. ![]() You don't scare me, we already broke you once, we'll do it again! ![]() That photo is our only tool so if it's a hammer then everything in this trial today better be a nail. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edgeworth is probably too worried about his perfect record to prosecute this case if he's seen the photo, right? I can't wait to rub it in his face. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Uh, thanks for the blank stare? ![]() ![]() Music: Logic and Trick ![]() Here's the same map we saw earlier. ![]() Where everyone was hanging out before the murder. ![]() Complete with a shot of the scene and the suspicious grate. ![]() Home of the old bag, I mean security lady. ![]() Suspiciously quiet about what she was doing before 1:00 PM. ![]() I don't think we ever really see this gate, but the point is that access to the studios is restricted by the security lady I guess? ![]() In case you forgot what the path to the studios looks like. That second studio is going to come into play somehow, I just know it. ![]() Continuing to ignore Studio Two. ![]() Oddly little information for a crime scene investigation. ![]() I counted four, but go on. ![]() Sure. ![]() Of course. ![]() I was wondering if you were going to bring her up. She's kind of small, maybe she was the one in the costume and that's why the legs were dragging along the ground? (Apparently the costume design, as seen in the prologue, is supposed to have the ends of the legs dragging along the ground, so never mind.) ![]() I guess the security lady doesn't count since she said she wasn't there until the afternoon. Even though we saw her there in the flashback scenes. ![]() We get a nice animation showing the victim's movement to the crime scene. ![]() At this point, no one is getting past the dragon guarding the gate. ![]() ![]() ![]() That'd probably be a shock, coming into work and seeing that. I think we need to talk to some of this production staff. Who actually found the body? ![]() A hole in the chest, with no blood. A conceit for video game censors/courtesy? Or a clue? ![]() No blood on the spear, either. Music: Silence ![]() ![]() ![]() Apparently that information is going to be important. Good thing I have it recorded, no need to see it all again. No, really, selecting "Listen again" literally just replays the entire scene as-is, including prompting again to see it another time. Pass. ![]() quote:If you insist in seeing the whole scene again, there are a few lines to lead into the replay: ![]() ![]() I think the judge is excited? ![]() Sound: Select Jingle Oh good, some evidence! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Trial ![]() Yup, there's the old bag. I don't have any follow-ups but our first blow is going to be great! ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Realization ... ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb Oh, right, she melts for authority figures. ![]() ![]() Sound: Shock 2 Well, that was quick. Guess Edgeworth is having bad luck with getting his witnesses to cooperate lately. ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() Sound: Stab I do enjoy seeing her antics used on someone else. ![]() This update is going to take forever at this rate, can we move this along? ![]() Sound: Light Bulb So, yes, her name really is Oldbag. And apparently she is not just an old bag, but a "windy" old bag. Touché, game. Music: Trial ![]() Edgeworth has to eventually interrupt Oldbag's rant by objecting to his own witness. Superb. Speaking of which, I owe you an "Objection!" callout with the soundbite linked, don't I? ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam This trial has gone off the rails already. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack Music: Silence ![]() That lousy testimony didn't even give us any cool flashback images. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Testimony 2 Side note: I honestly thought the Witness Testimony and Cross-Examination were different sound effects. But they're both "Testimony 2". What is the plain "Testimony" sound effect for then? ![]() Music: Questioning - Moderato ![]() ![]() As usual, we'll start by pressing on everything. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So any employee could have gotten in? Although, wouldn't there typically be a record of cardkey usage, too? ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() It still makes no narrative sense to repeat the testimony twice, but I do like the transitions from presses to the next line of testimony that we get during crosses. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edgeworth is so irritated by Oldbag, it's wonderful. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() Well, that was easy. I'm not sure how it will help us yet, though. ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So many holes in this timeline, but we have so little evidence about it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() Sound: Super Shock ![]() ![]() ![]() We've barely started and Oldbag is already all over the place. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He does like to show off his autopsy report. ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't know if you could get a bigger hint than that. ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Another sign we've hit the right line on which to present something - pressing takes us back to the same line here. Anyway, once we reach the end of the testimony... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whoops ![]() Anyway, no prizes for guessing this one. We only have one hammer and the game was kind enough to spotlight the nail for us. Music: Silence ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() ![]() Music: Objection! ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization She, uh, took that more calmly than I expected. ![]() ![]() Sound: Stab Edgeworth is less tranquil about it. Did we actually surprise him with the very first objection? ![]() ![]() Great recovery. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() Sound: Drama Pound ![]() Sound: Light Bulb New face! We've cracked her composure for the first time! I'm not sure where we go from here, though... ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() The name puns are often funny on their own, but the game script itself ragging on them is even better. ![]() ![]() Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Realization Uh-oh, we might be in trouble here.

I do love how when Miles gets taken aback he ends up looking so stressed. It's a strangely effective way to get you to feel sorry for him, despite him being a smarmy, tricksy bastard.

Part 46: Episode 3, Day 2, Trial: Is Anyone Really Buying This?![]() Sound: Realization Right, we left off with a bold claim from Ms. Oldbag. ![]() Sound: Stab 2 Sound: Stab 2 Both attorneys are shocked, cut to the heart, really. ![]() Sound: Whack Maybe this won't be entirely bad for us? ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() Sound: Stab ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Not really. Vague, crappy testimony, impossible to disprove. What are we supposed to do with that? ![]() Music: Silence ![]() ![]() ![]() Good idea as any I guess! ![]() Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Objection Sound: Drama Pound Yikes, stay down, lady! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack Hey, this is your witness, deal with it! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, isn't that convenient! ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just a straight line right there. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And can't corroborate your crazy story! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Huh? Then how did he kill the victim with it later? ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I guess that's some strong duct tape, if it held up to a stabbing a couple hours later. In fact, you can see in the flashback image above (behind the partially-transparent text box) that the spear head has broken off. ![]() ![]() ![]() Isn't that what she just said? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe it really is Powers, and we're barking up the wrong tree here? Also you can kind of see the duct tape wrapped around where the spear head joins the shaft. ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam Great, dueling desk slams. ![]() ![]() ![]() That press loops us back to the same line of testimony. Running through all of the testimony then just gives us a reminder to keep pressing... ![]() ![]() ![]() Once we've messed around long enough, some hidden timer expires and Edgeworth butts in... ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization drat, judge, that's a fantastic question! ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization So Powers wasn't wearing it when the body was discovered? And no one thought that was odd, because no one but Oldbag (and I guess Gumshoe) knew that it was someone wearing the costume that had gone to the studio... ![]() Have you tried looking in Studio Two? There must be a reason it's mysteriously inaccessible... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Clear? This case is even shakier than the one against Maya last episode. Music: Suspense ![]() ![]() Uhh, we object, duh. ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Objection ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't like that look... quote:It doesn't seem like it should, but waiting instead of objecting still ends up with the same result: ![]() What's to continue? Not that I'm complaining about getting another shot at this. Music: Silence ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's it? I am completely out of ideas. That just looks the same as her first set of testimony. Music: Silence ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Testimony 2 Music: Questioning - Moderato ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Light Bulb ![]() ![]() Sound: Realization Yeah, we heard all that the first time around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Desk Slam ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() ![]() Hey, that's actually a valid legal objection for once! ![]() ![]() Sound: Whack ![]() Sound: Realization ![]() ![]() I guess he isn't a fan of the nickname, either. Anyway, running through to the end of the testimony gets us more time with Maya: ![]() Uh, thanks, Maya. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound: Whoops ![]() I was confused when first recording this update, but I think I figured it out while writing it up. Can you?

I will help with another post with some advice on that. It's not something easily done in an lp, but the games own advice from case 1 is always helpful. ![]() Unfortunately here, you'll have to skim for the update they got logged/updated instead of just whacking tab

You’d think our client would have mentioned an injury of such nature. Maybe he didn’t think it was relevant? I’ll look for the evidence but I’ll probably suspend revealing any shocking realization to maintain suspense.
