Farewell, My Turnabout

"Phoenix Wright"

- I became a lawyer because I thought... I thought I could save people who were suffering and in pain... But... When I look at this mess we're in, I can't even protect the person closest to me. Even if I win the case, I still lose in the end...

Episode 4: Farewell, My Turnabout is the fourth and final episode in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All. This episode marks the return of Miles Edgeworth from abroad and features a special investigation mode in which Phoenix Wright uses a frequency detector to sweep for bugs at the scene of the crime. A similar mode is featured in Bridge to the Turnabout. This episode marks the début of Adrian Andrews (who reappears in The Stolen Turnabout) and Shelly de Killer (who reappears in Turnabout Target) and also features the return of Will Powers and Wendy Oldbag from Turnabout Samurai.

Prologue
In the darkness, a drum roll starts and an announcer begins to speak:

As an image of the moon appears, the sound of an audience applauding and cheering can be heard. The view pans down to reveal a number of costumed characters. In the center is a figure wearing blue armor with a shuriken on his helmet. As the spotlights play over this figure, the announcer ponders:

The spotlights move on, with the announcer introducing each of the colorful contestants in turn:

The drum roll begins once more as the moment of the announcement approaches.

Suddenly, a voice interrupts:

The image of the moon is suddenly sliced in two and a figure drops down from the ceiling while the theme music from The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo plays. The announcer reacts in surprise as the figure opens a giant fan with "Hero of Heroes Super Hero" written on it while the other competitors react mainly with shock, apart from the Jammin' Ninja, who looks furious.

Mar. 20
In the luxurious Gatewater Imperial Hotel's Viola Hall, Phoenix Wright, Maya Fey, Pearl Fey and Will Powers reacted to hearing that the Nickel Samurai won the Hero of Heroes Grand Prix in their own ways; Maya with excitement, Wright with apathy, Powers with pride that the Nickel Samurai was "doing the series justice" and Pearl with confusion. She asked if the person everyone was cheering for had won, and Maya told her that he had. When Pearl revealed that she watched Kids' Masterpiece Theatre rather than The Nickel Samurai, Maya tried to persuade her to change. Pearl wondered if Wright watched the show, but Maya told her that he was an "old fart" who wasn't allowed to watch it anymore, and he stated that he preferred Kids' Masterpiece Theatre. Pearl was annoyed that Wright and Maya were not sharing the same interests, but was told to give it a rest by Maya.

Powers was pleased that they were all having such a good time and was glad to have invited them, although he felt sorry for the Jammin' Ninja, who had lost to The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo the previous year and to The Nickel Samurai this year. At this Maya and Powers talked about how odd it was that the Jammin' Ninja was missing his signature bright red guitar, while Wright despaired at "these people and their shows". He thanked Powers anyway for inviting them, but was told it was nothing since Powers owed him for defending him in court two years earlier. Maya interjected to tell Wright that they should head for the hotel lobby since there was a post-ceremony stage show due to start soon and Powers told them that there would be a press conference after that. Wright wondered if something was to be announced, but was told it was supposedly something about the Nickel Samurai confessing something. Maya and Pearl told the pair to stop talking and start moving, with Wright wondering what the rush was about since the show wasn't due to start for another 20 minutes.

Investigation
After Wright went to and returned from the bathroom, Powers gave the group tickets for a press conference that Matt Engarde, the actor of the Nickel Samurai, was scheduled to hold after the post-ceremony show. Shortly after, Wright, Maya, Pearl, and Powers went to the lobby, only to learn shortly after from the P.A. that the post ceremony show had been canceled due to a request from the police. Worried, the group started to move back towards Viola Hall, only to be stopped by the security guard, Wendy Oldbag. Wright, Maya, and Pearl managed to elude the guard and continued towards Viola Hall. Upon entering Viola Hall, they were stopped by a bellboy, who told Maya that there was a call waiting for her at the front desk. She said she would catch up with Wright later, and left with the bellboy.

Moving into the hallway, Wright heard two familiar voices and saw that Lotta Hart was trying to get information from Dick Gumshoe. When both noticed Wright had appeared on the scene, they both attempted to pressure Wright into siding with them in their argument. In doing so, the detective let it slip that a murder had taken place. Satisfied, the investigative photographer ran away in delight, beginning to spread the news. After the detective hung his head at his blunder, he proceeded to inform Wright of the events that had transpired.

The crime
The murder victim was Juan Corrida, the actor of the Jammin' Ninja in the television show of the same name. The estimated time of death was 8:15, immediately after the awards ceremony. Gumshoe didn't mention any more at the time, but he also let slip that Matt Engarde had been arrested on suspicion of murdering Corrida.

A kidnapping
Wright and Pearl returned to the lobby, where a distressed Powers was waiting for them. Wright told him the details: that Juan Corrida had been murdered, and that Matt Engarde was the suspect. Powers groaned, commenting on how these events were just like last year. He then gave a radio transceiver to Wright, telling him that a bellboy had said it was for the attorney. Pearl was starting to wonder where Maya had gone, as it had been a long time since she had gone to answer the telephone. At that moment, the transceiver began beeping. Wright asked who the man on the other end was, but was told that he should be worried about more important things. At that moment, Maya's scream rang through the radio, yelling for help from Wright. The caller threatened to kill her if Wright refused to cooperate.

"???"

- What is this called again in your fancy lawyer terms?

"Phoenix Wright"

- ..."Kidnapping for ransom"...

After regaining his composure, Wright immediately asked, "H-How much!?" The kidnapper congratulated Wright on his swift grasping of the situation, but then told him that what he wanted wasn't money, but was a complete acquittal for Matt Engarde. The kidnapper went on to say that Matt Engarde hadn't killed anyone, but that someone was trying to frame him. The kidnapper told Wright that the trial was due to take place in two days, and that Wright must procure an acquittal for Matt Engarde on that day, or Maya would die. In one last act of desperation, Wright asked who this person on the other end was.

"???"

- Alright, I'll tell you that much. My name is... De Killer.

The call was then disconnected.

Powers immediately suggested that Wright tell the police, to which Wright responded that, if something of the sort happened, Maya would die. Pearl then asked if they could trust Detective Gumshoe. Agreeing, Wright ran back to the hallway to inform the detective of the situation. The detective subsequently offered his help, but told Wright that he would probably be in the hotel for the rest of the night. However, he managed to obtain permission to let Wright and Pearl leave.

Investigation
Pearl woke Wright up, hoping that they could see Engarde. However, visiting hours did not begin until 9 AM so they would have to wait. Pearl then asked Wright if he was going to represent Engarde. The latter responded by saying yes, partly because he was forced to by the kidnapper. However, when she asked him about Engarde being the real killer and still considering the idea to give him an acquittal, Wright suggested they ask Engarde first, stating that thinking "bad things" wouldn't change a thing.

When they arrived at the detention center, Wright immediately tried to comfort Engarde, in which Engarde assumed Wright was a life insurance salesman and a fire extinguisher salesman later on. Wright denied the ideas and introduced himself. Engarde then called his manager. Pearl commented him on being a strange person, while Wright thought "strange" was an understatement. Engarde finished his call and told them they arrived at the right time because his manager needed a good lawyer. When Wright decided to ask him a few personal questions, this resulted in Engarde calling his publisher. Wright tried a different approach and asked him about the murder. This made Engarde think Wright is doing this for a tabloid. When Wright asked him about the press conference, Engarde denied its existance. Engarde then told Wright he didn't need Wright to represent him. As a result, Wright suddenly blurted out De Killer's name. When Engarde heard the name, he immediately accepted Wright's terms. Engarde told Wright about his job as the Nickel Samurai and why he was suspected. He then asked why he would kill Corrida if he himself had won the Grand Prix by storm. Pearl still did not trust Engarde, so Wright decided to ask him if Engarde really did kill Corrida. When Engarde clearly stated he did not kill Juan Corrida, no Psyche-Lock appeared. Pearl then deemed him trustworthy.

Trial day 1
Upon entering court, Wright saw that von Karma not at the prosecutor's bench. Miles Edgeworth then entered with terrible news; on the way to court, von Karma was shot and hospitalized. Wright realized it was the "present" de Killer promised. Edgeworth stated that he will be taking her place.

Edgeworth starts off the trial by summoning Gumshoe to the stand. Gumshoe begins by explaining that the murder had happened after the Hero of Heroes ceremony, with Corrida found dead in his hotel room. A later investigation had revealed that the guitar case in Corrida's room, initially suspected to be involved in his murder, was later concluded to be irrelevant to the murder.

During the cross examination, it was revealed that Corrida had not died of a stab wound, but rather strangulation by his bandana; the knife found in his chest was revealed to have been stabbed in by someone after Corrida had died. The guitar case was suspected by the police for the fact that the signature guitar of the Jammin' Ninja, which was carried with him everywhere, was not in the case; it was later found out that Corrida had left it at Worldwide Studios, meaning that the guitar case was already empty before Corrida even arrived at Gatewater Hotel.

Edgeworth then cuts in, summarising the points so far. He then posed the question of why Engarde was arrested, to which Gumshoe testified again.

According to Gumshoe, Engarde and Corrida had been rivals with each other, thinking that the other party was "in his way", providing a motive for murder. A button of the Jammin' Ninja's costume was found on the "hakama" of the Nickel Samurai, and the knife found at the crime scene was covered with Engarde's fingerprints. Gumshoe then boldly exclaimed that the knife was bought, hence it was a premeditated murder, to which Wright immediately objected, showing that the knife, which had "Gatewater" engraved into it, was hotel property and not bought, hence it wasn't a premeditated murder. Edgeworth however simply laughed creepily, before saying that "the defense is too careless". He admits that the knife was hotel property, but he also points out that the knife was from Engarde's room, where two plates and two sets of utensils were placed on the table... but a knife was missing: this was the knife found at the crime scene. He then stated that as Engarde had gone to Corrida's room holding a knife, that was more than enough intent to murder Corrida.

Mia, who had been channeled by Pearl earlier, notes that Edgeworth apparently had this planned from the start, causing Wright to realise that he had fallen into the trap Edgeworth had set for him. The judge, now convinced of Engarde's guilt, was prepared to lay down the verdict, only to be stopped by Edgeworth, who invites Wright to present evidence that has yet to be presented to the court. Wright then presents the wine glass found in Corrida's room(presentation of any other evidence would cause Wright to lose the case immediately). The wine glass was found on the dresser intact, even though all the other objects originally on the dresser (a vase, makeup, etc.) were all found to be on the floor, shattered and in a mess.

Alternate game endings
Mia told Wright that he had two options to turn the situation around: make Engarde want a guilty verdict or break de Killer's contract with his client (both seemingly impossible

to do). At that moment, von Karma bursted into the room with three pieces of evidence. The judge then gave Wright one last chance to present one piece of evidence, and one person to present it on.

Good Ending
Wright presented the newly acquired video tape to Shelly de Killer, saying it had footage of him killing Juan Corrida. Engarde had placed a spy camera in a huge stuffed bear's eye to film De Killer at 8:00 PM, the time he had told De Killer to kill Corrida. Engarde could then use the video to blackmail De Killer.

De Killer realized this, and consequently broke his contract with Engarde, deciding to make him his next target, (as he broke the trust between assassin and client) meaning that Maya will be returned safely. The judge let Wright decide whether Engarde is guilty or innocent. Whatever the player chose, Engarde realized before the verdict was given that even if he was found not guilty, he would still be in danger from De Killer; he screamed that he was guilty, while scratching new scars into his face. Wright headed back to the defendant lobby. Von Karma then entered the room and told Wright that his perfect win record was soiled, and that his celebration was strange. Edgeworth entered the room, explaining why he left the office. He realized being a lawyer is not about being perfect, but finding the truth. Angry about Edgeworth having lost his title of being a von Karma disciple, Franziska von Karma stormed out, leaving her whip and her Gumshoe tracker behind.

Edgeworth took the tracker, while Maya entered the room to have a heartfelt reunion with Wright and Pearl. Maya declared that she is starving, so the group left for dinner at the Viola Hall. They discussed the trial, Wright gave Edgeworth the whip and, after some urging, Phoenix Wright said his catchphrase one last time.



The game then cut to the credits.

Bad Ending
The player achieves this ending if Wright either presented any evidence except the video tape, presented it to anyone but Shelly de Killer, or said anything but "He wanted to blackmail you."

Wright delivered a speech. Afterward, he fled the courtroom to wander the streets alone. Days after the trial, he heard the verdict of Adrian Andrews' trial, which was, of course, guilty. The miracle he had hoped for never happened, maybe because, as he concluded to himself, a "miracle" is something that doesn't exist. He never saw Maya again, but was sure that de Killer released her, as he was a man of his word.

One of the more well-known spelling errors in the English localization of the Nintendo DS version occurs in the bad ending when Wright said, "The miracle never happen." This error was however corrected for the English localisation in the European version of the game, which instead stated "The miracle never happened."

Credits
During the credits, Phoenix meets with all the people he met during the course of the game; e.g., Maggey Byrde tells him how she means to become a waitress, and the members of the Berry Big Circus tell Phoenix about how they plan to tour the world.

After the credits
After the credits, Edgeworth meets von Karma at the airport. He tells her that she will be a prosecutor no matter what, and returns her whip. von Karma tells Edgeworth that she was never a genius, which she always knew. However, she goes on to say that Edgeworth had always left her behind. Therefore, her revenge would be to defeat Wright in court and thus be better than Edgeworth. Edgeworth tells her that, if she quits prosecuting, the two will part ways. Von Karma begins to cry, and, through tears, tells Edgeworth that she will not be left behind. She still goes on the airplane, but says that she will deliver the fourth piece of evidence to Wright herself, when they next meet. The final piece of evidence is revealed to be something that Maya drew while imprisoned - a picture of Wright drawn on one of de Killer's shell cards, with the word "Nick" on it.

References to other cases

 * The Gatewater Imperial Hotel is owned by the same company that owns the Gatewater Hotel from Turnabout Sisters. Wright also mentions the bellboy from that case if the Viola Hall is examined and mentions that he was given something "fancy" by the latter the previous year during the events of the episode.


 * There are numerous references to Turnabout Samurai during the episode since The Nickel Samurai is a sequel of sorts to The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo and The Pink Princess: Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo. Will Powers and Wendy Oldbag made their debuts in Turnabout Samurai as well.


 * Wright recalls his nightmare from the beginning of The Lost Turnabout.


 * "Director Hotti" and the Hotti Clinic make a reappearance from Reunion, and Turnabout.


 * There are a couple of references to Turnabout Big Top during this episode, with Wright commenting that the Hero of Heroes Grand Prix award ceremony held on the Viola Hall stage was "fabulous" which Pearl says reminds her of the circus, along with the circus itself being the last hiding place of Shelly de Killer and the kidnapped Maya Fey. Also, if Wright examines the bears in Juan Corrida's hotel room, a flashback will be shown with Moe the clown telling a joke, and then laughing.
