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 last 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 debut of Adrian Andrews, who reappears in The Stolen Turnabout.

Grand Prix
About four heroes, most notably the Jammin' Ninja, were lined up as nominees for the Hero of Heroes award ceremony. Just as the Jammin' Ninja was about to be named the winner, someone else dropped in with a dramatic entrance; it was the Nickel Samurai, successor to The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, and the Jammin' Ninja's biggest rival. With that entrance, the Nickel Samurai was declared the winner of the Grand Prix.

After the awards ceremony
Phoenix Wright, Maya Fey, and Pearl Fey were at the Viola Hall at the Gatewater Imperial Hotel, having just heard the news that the Nickel Samurai had won the awards. Will Powers, the man who had played the Steel Samurai, was also at the hotel, feeling "proud of the guy for doing the series justice". 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.

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.

Good ending
Mia told Wright that he has 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). That moment, von Karma burst 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.

Wright presents the newly acquired video tape to Shelly de Killer, saying it has 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, realizing this, consequently broke his contract with Engarde and decided 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 that even if he was found not guilty, he was still in danger from De Killer. He screamed that he is 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 it is strange he is celebrating. 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, 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
This ending is achieved when the player either presented any evidence, except the video tape, to anyone but Shelly de Killer or said anything but "He wanted to blackmail you."

Wright then 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 been hoping for will never, 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 occured here with Wright saying, "The miracle never happen."

Credits
During the credits, Phoenix meets with all the people he met during the course of the game. 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.
