Turnabout Corner


As long as we draw breath, the Wheel of Fate turns... Spinning big crimes and little crimes together. And when the Wheel stops... You die.


June 15, 9:12 AM
Wright & Co. Law Offices


Apollo:
(Two months have passed since Mr. Gavin's arrest. My first trial, and I lost both my mentor and my job. Yeah, I'll admit it. I was screwed. But even when I hit bottom, I told myself I'd never come here. Honest. Here being the legendary Wright & Co. Law Offices. OK, Justice, time to stop trembling.)

???:
Ah! You must be here for the interview. Right this way.

Apollo:
Huh?

???:
Hello there! You've found the Wright place! Welcome!

Apollo:
Uh... Ah... (What's with this girl!?)

???:
Well now, shall we begin?

Apollo:
Begin... what?

???:
Right, first things first... Any special talents?

Apollo:
Erm, talents?

???:
Yes, well, you must have at least one!

Apollo:
Well... Uh... I guess... Defending?

???:
"Defending"... An unusual talent, but it'll do. With a little jazzing up, of course.

Apollo:
Y-You think so...?

???:
Let's give it a go, shall we?

Apollo:
Huh?

???:
Go ahead! Show me! Defend! Just give it all you've got. Don't hold back now!

Apollo:
Wh-What are you talking about? I can't just "defend" here!

???:
First lesson: A professional can perform anywhere!

Apollo:
...Thanks.

???:
We want people to be laughing with us... ...not at us!

Apollo:
...Thanks. But I'm not sure why they should be laughing at all.

???:
What...? What exactly do you think you came here to do?

Apollo:
What? Um, defend... No?

???:
... Excuse me, but do you know where you are?

Apollo:
Huh!? The Wright & Co. Law Offices, right?

???:
...Oh. I was afraid of that. Don't worry, you're not the first.

Apollo:
Look, what's going on here? Who are you? I came here to meet with the person in charge...

???:
Well, you've apparently made no fewer than two mistakes.

Apollo:
Mistakes? But I got a call from Mr. Wright this morning!

???:
Perhaps you should go read the sign out front again?

Apollo:
What's there to read!? Look, it says right there... ...Oh. Why does it say "Wright Talent Agency"...?

Trucy:
Welcome to the Wright Talent Agency, where you've "always come to the Wright place!" I'm Trucy Wright, CEO. I'm a magician.

Apollo:
(It all came flooding back... The trial... That girl...)


???:
Hello, sir. Please, pick a card.


Phoenix:
That's right. She's my daughter.


Apollo:
Trucy... Wright.

Trucy:
Here, check out our flyer! So... what's your name?

Apollo:
Apollo... Apollo Justice, attorney at law.

After clearing all Talk options:

Apollo:
OK... Which hospital is Mr. Wright in? I'll pay him a visit.

Trucy:
Oh, the Hickfield Clinic. It's quite close.

Apollo:
Right. Well, I'll be going now. And I'll, uh... give this showbiz gig some thought, OK?

Trucy:
Wait! I'll go with you!


June 15, 9:45 AM
Hickfield Clinic


Apollo:
(So... this is Mr. Wright's hospital...)

???:
Eh? Visitors are ya? Hrmm?

Apollo:
Uh, yeah. Are you the... doctor?

Hickfield:
Ayup. Dr. Hickfield's the name. Eh he he.

Trucy:
Good morning, Doctor!

Hickfield:
Oh, hiya there, Trucy. Cute as ever! Eh he he.

Trucy:
Is... this Daddy's room?

Hickfield:
Oh yah. 'Cept he's gone for a mornin' checkup. Be back soon. How're you, Miss Trucy? Got any places you'd like... examined? Eh heh...

Phoenix:
Doctor... the nurse was looking for you.

Hickfield:
Why, if it isn't the Daddy o' the cutest lil' thing in town! Hrm. Hrmm. Guess I'll be off then. Eh he? Later, Trucy.

Apollo:
Wow, what an odd bird that guy was.

Phoenix:
Good morning. Didn't expect you so soon, Apollo.

Apollo:
Mr. Wright...

After clearing "Our client" Talk option:

Phoenix:
Don't get so worked up. It was just a joke.

Apollo:
Huh?

Trucy:
Oh, Daddy. Sorry, Apollo. He just loves jokes, you know. Even the ones that aren't very funny.

Phoenix:
Your real client should be stopping by the office any time now.

Apollo:
The office... You mean the talent agency? (No harm in going. It's not like I have anything else to do.)

Phoenix:
...One more thing. Do look into my accident too, would you? I marked the scene of the tragedy on this map. It's right in front of this park. Should be easy to find.

Apollo:
(So, he's going to make me investigate this after all...)

Map added to the Court Record.


June 15, 10:05 AM
Wright Talent Agency


???:
Hey hey hey! How long you planning on making me wait, eh!?

Trucy:
Ah! Good morning!

???:
Hey there, Trucy-doll. Sounds like your pops had a bit of a rough spot, eh?

Trucy:
All's well that ends well, I guess...

Apollo:
(This... is our client?)

???:
Hey! So this is that Pollo fellow, eh?

Apollo:
Oh, uh, y-yes? (The name's "Apollo".)

???:
Look at 'im there, arms all crossed-like. Ready to fight!

Apollo:
Yes, sir! ...You don't mean that literally, do you?

???:
The boss told you what I need, right? Don't let me down now, Pollo!

Apollo:
Don't worry about your defense sir, I'm on it!

???:
Defense...? Your noodle half-cooked? It's too late for defense! My castle's been stormed! My keep's been kept! My noodle stand's been stolen!

Apollo:
N-Noodle...?

Trucy:
You know Mr. Eldoon from the noodle stand, don'cha, Polly?

Apollo:
No nicknames, please. And no, of course I don't know him!

???:
You new in these parts?

Apollo:
Not really...

???:
Then you know the best noodles in town: Eldoon's Noodles!

Apollo:
Uh, whose noodles?

???:
My noodles! Er, help me out here, Trucy-doll.

Trucy:
This is Mr. Guy Eldoon... our client! Maybe you can tell us what the problem is, Mr. Eldoon?

Guy:
Anything for you, Trucy-doll!

After clearing "Stolen stand" Talk option:

Trucy:
That's the saddest thing I've heard all day.

Guy:
You know it. Anyhows, that's the deal. Good luck!

Apollo:
Good... huh? Wait... What exactly is your request?

Guy:
My noodle stand! Find it! And the day you bring my baby back is the day you feast on as many noodles as you want! Course I make it so hot 'n' salty, two bowls'd kill a man. Then I'd really need defense!

Apollo:
Speaking of defense, that's what I do. I'm a lawyer. Not a detective...

Guy:
This is where I live, you drop by if you need any info, 'kay? Get it back today if you can, Pollo! I got noodles to make!

Apollo:
Things have certainly taken a turn for the bizarre. Traffic accidents... and noodle stand thieves.

Trucy:
Um, actually... There was something I wanted to ask you about, too, Apollo.

Apollo:
Huh? (I have a bad feeling about this.)

Guy:
Ah, listen to the lady's problem now. Don't be cruel!

Trucy:
I lost something last night. That is, something was stolen.

Guy:
Hey, what's this? More thieving and skullduggery!?

Trucy:
Well, um... Someone stole a pair of my panties.

Apollo:
...Panties?

Apollo:
Erm, so they were, um, stolen, your, er...

Trucy:
My panties, yes.

Apollo:
Ah, er, right. Panties.

Guy:
That's a cryin' shame, that is, Trucy-doll.

Trucy:
I was alone in the office last night. I had hung my panties out the window there to dry... ...when a thief came and took them! My favorite panties! I ran after him. "Give those back!" I shouted. "Wait!"

Apollo:
Well, that was certainly brave of you.

Trucy:
...But I lost him. Without those panties, I don't know what I'll do...

Guy:
A darn cryin' shame, yup.

Trucy:
Well, at least the scene of the crime is convenient. I'll mark it on your map!

Guy:
I'll be headin' home now. Remember, find my stand or there's an empty bowl in yer future, Pollo!

Apollo:
Er, right.

Guy:
And you help out Trucy-doll here, too, y'hear?

Trucy:
Things have certainly picked up, haven't they! We had no work yesterday, and now we have three cases!

Apollo:
I... I guess.

Trucy:
Let's see where we stand!

Apollo:
(Not in a courtroom, that's where.) Well, the first item on our list...

Trucy:
Phoenix Wright... Daddy's hit and run accident. We have to find the one who hit him!

Apollo:
...Who's going to pay us for this again?

Trucy:
And the second item... Mr. Eldoon's request.. to find his stolen stand.

Apollo:
For which we stand to gain... a bowl of salty noodles...

Trucy:
And the last request is mine! To find my stolen panties!

Apollo:
...That bowl of noodles is looking better and better.

Trucy:
Let's go, Polly! To the streets!

Apollo:
Aren't you enthusiastic.

Trucy:
How could I not be!? Let's crack these cases, you and me!

Apollo:
(*sigh* Guess we might as well get started... Let's see. A hit and run... a stolen stand... And last but not least... stolen panties.)

Hickfield Clinic


Apollo:
Huh? Mr. Wright's gone.

Trucy:
Maybe he's gone for an examination?

Apollo:
He'll probably be back soon. Let's wait.

Trucy:
I think it might take some time. Daddy always loves his examinations!

Apollo:
(Don't ask, Justice. You don't want to know.)

Trucy:
Why don't we come back later?

Apollo:
Yeah, I guess you're right.


June 15
Accident Scene


Apollo:
So this is where Mr. Wright got hit by that car?

Trucy:
According to the map, this is the place!

Apollo:
What a huge mansion... Feels like Chinatown.

Trucy:
Apollo! There's a nice-looking lady over there. Let's question her!

Apollo:
Um, OK. (I'm a little curious about the park over there, too...)

Trucy:
Excuse me! Um, can we have a few words with you?

???:
You want something?

Apollo:
(Whoa! That husky voice... Why am I suddenly sweating?)

Trucy:
That's quite a house you've got there! You must have a lot of money...

???:
Whoooh. "Money" sounds like something my son would call his friends. This is the Kitaki Family mansion, little girl.

Apollo:
Eh.

???:
You, kid with the hair. You want something?

Apollo:
Urk! M-M-Me? No, not a thing! Bye!

Trucy:
Apollo! We can't leave without questioning her! What if she knows something!

Apollo:
B-But th-the Kitaki Family...! (They're the biggest organized crime syndicate in town!)

???:
If you're going to ask something, ask it. If you're man enough.

Apollo:
Waaaaugh! R-Right!

Trucy:
Yay! Way to whip him into shape, ma'am!

Apollo:
(Does she know no fear!?)

Plum:
I'm Plum. Plum Kitaki. Wife of the fourth head of the Kitaki Family business. Friends call me Little Plum.

Apollo:
I-I'm l-little Apollo Justice, attorney at law. *gulp* (If looks could kill, this woman would be a mass-murderer by now...)

After switching to right side view:

Apollo:
Who's that!? She's looking at the park.

Trucy:
She's pretty. I bet she has a story, you know?

Apollo:
(There is something about her... Too bad she seems to be in a bit of a rush.)

After clearing all Talk options:

???:
...

Apollo:
(...That girl from before!)

Plum:
Oh! Welcome home, sweetie.

???:
Ah, uh... hello, m-mother.

Apollo:
(She's a Kitaki, too!?)

Trucy:
Uh, um, Miss! Miss!

???:
...?

Trucy:
Here, our flyer.

???:
The... Wright Anything Agency?

Apollo:
A-Anything Agency?

Trucy:
Yeah! Do you like the new flyer? So, um, this is our defense attorney, Mr. Apollo Justice!

???:
Attorney...?

Trucy:
Drop by our office! We'll be waiting!

???:
Ah... Good-bye.

Apollo:
Why did you give her our flyer?

Trucy:
I dunno. She seemed like she could use some help.

Apollo:
She's the heiress to a gangster dynasty! She doesn't need our help!

Trucy:
...I wouldn't be so sure!

Apollo:
...?


June 15
Scene of the Stand Theft


Apollo:
So... what's this place?

Trucy:
This would be Mr. Eldoon's house, silly.

Apollo:
Oh, so this is where his stand was stolen from. I can see a piece of evidence lying on the ground already.

Trucy:
...Hey! Look, there's a police car parked over there.

Apollo:
You're right... What's with the sparkly... entrance? What is this place? A hospital? There's a sign... "Meraktis Clinic".

Trucy:
Hmm... Oh! That's where the thief went!

Apollo:
The thief...?

Trucy:
The one who snatched my panties! He ran into this clinic last night! Wait, maybe that police car is here to find my panties!

Apollo:
I doubt it.

Trucy:
Well, there's only one way to be sure! Let's investigate!

Guy:
Ah, there you are, sonny! Well, you find anything yet!?

Apollo:
Er, um, no. Not yet.

Guy:
The longer you loaf around here the saltier your victory bowl gets, just remember that!

Apollo:
(This bowl of noodles is sounding less like payment and more like punishment...)


June 15
Meraktis Clinic
Garage


Trucy:
This is the place! This is where that panty-snatcher ran!

Apollo:
Are you sure?

Trucy:
Maybe! Let's look for clues! Clues... to a panty-snatching! Clues... like a pair of panties!

Apollo:
...Um, Trucy? Could you try not saying "panties" so many times?

After examining cell phone, tailpipe, and mirror:

Trucy:
Apollo!

Apollo:
Huh? What is it?

Trucy:
Now that we've solved this case, we should go report to Daddy! He'll mope if we leave him alone too long, knowing him.

Apollo:
Um, OK. ...He doesn't seem the type to mope, though. (And this is hardly a case worth reporting...)


Wright Anything Agency


Kitaki Mansion


After examining bowl, mirror, cell phone and tailpipe and clearing all Talk options with Plum Kitaki and Guy Eldoon:

June 15
Hickfield Clinic


Phoenix:
Yo! How goes it?

Trucy:
Daddy! How do you feel?

Phoenix:
Not bad, Trucy, not bad. It's good to have you young'uns on the case. Lets ol' Daddy-o get some well-deserved R&R.

Trucy:
The elderly need their rest!

Apollo:
(Uh... isn't he only 33?) ...Um, we've cleared up most of the cases...

Phoenix:
I was right about you. Competent. Capable. Tell me what you found out. If you want to.

Apollo:
(Your enthusiasm is over-whelming...)


After examining bowl, mirror, cell phone and tailpipe and clearing all Talk options with Plum Kitaki and Guy Eldoon:

June 15
Kitaki Mansion


Trucy:
Little Plum's not here. She's not finished cleaning, huh.

Apollo:
Maybe she went to get a paint scraper?

Plum:
OK! Who's the wise guy who spit gum out on the street!?

Apollo:
(Her voice carries all the way out to the street from inside the mansion...)

Trucy:
She's a neat freak! How cute!

Plum:
You there! It was you, wasn't it!? Fess up! I hope you've said your prayers. You're gonna need them...

Apollo:
Tr-Trucy? Let's leave. Now.

Trucy:
...?


Hickfield Clinic

After clearing all Talk options:

Phoenix:
...Thanks, really. If I get tired of sleeping, maybe I'll head down to this Meraktis place. Maybe hit 'em up for some reparations... A little legal action would do me some good.

Apollo:
Um... I was wondering when I get paid? We solved the case of your accident, and um, found a missing article of clothing.

Trucy:
My panties!

Phoenix:
That leaves the noodle stand.

Apollo:
Eh.

Phoenix:
Feel free to drop in if you get stuck. I'd be happy to help with anything not involving money.

Apollo:
(Good-bye, quid pro quo. Hello pro bono. *sigh*)

Trucy:
Right! Back to the office to plan our next move!


June 15
Wright Anything Agency


Apollo:
You... You're the woman from the Kitaki place!

???:
Y-Yes...

Trucy:
I knew it! Something's the matter and you want our help, right? Well, you've come to the Wright place! This way, please...

Alita:
Um... Thank you. My name is Alita Tiala. I... have a request.

After clearing all Talk options:

Alita:
I... prepared a letter of request. I know you need those.

Letter of Request added to the Court Record.

Trucy:
Right! Let's go check out the scene of the crime!


June 15
Hickfield Clinic


Apollo:
Huh...? Where's Mr. Wright?

Trucy:
Maybe he's getting an examination again?

Apollo:
How many does he need!? (Wasn't it just a sprain?)

Trucy:
Too bad, Polly! You wanted to show off your request to Daddy, didn't you!

Apollo:
What? Me? No!

Trucy:
Oh? That's a surprise.

Apollo:
L-Let's just come back later, shall we?


June 15
Detention Center
Visitor's Room

Trucy:
Polly! You look as happy as a clam in its shell.

Apollo:
For a lawyer this is it, the place where the battle begins!

Guard:
...Ahem. You need something?

Apollo:
Aaah! Yes, we're attorneys. I was hoping we could see Mr. Wocky Kitaki?

Guard:
Sorry, he's in questioning right now. Could take a while.

Trucy:
Drat. Oh well, guess we'll have to come back later then.

Apollo:
So much for that battle...


June 15
Kitaki Mansion


Apollo:
(So this is it... My first murder crime scene!)

Officer:
Ah, it's you kids again. Look, can't you find some other place to play...

Trucy:
We're not playing! We're um, "investigating"! Aren't we, Apollo?

Apollo:
Sir, I have a letter of request here.

Officer:
Letter of... huh? Why does it say "Hit Request" on it?

Apollo:
(Ms. Tiala must have used the Kitaki's stationery...)

???:
Excuse me, coming through.

Officer:
Ah! It's you! Mr. Gavin!

Apollo:
...! (Who's this guy...?)

???:
I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man.

Apollo:
Mr.... Gavin?

???:
Ah, Fräulein. What is a sweet morsel like you doing in such a dismal place? Can I help?

Trucy:
... Y-Yes! The police man officer fellow here won't let us in! We even have a letter of request!

???:
You must be exhausted, standing out here! I will take you to the scene of the crime.

Trucy:
Oooh! R-Really!?

???:
...By your leave, Officer.

Officer:
Ya... Yes sir! Of course, sir!

???:
Ah ha. Very well. This way, Fräulein...

Trucy:
Whee!

Apollo:
... Hey! What about me!?


June 15
People Park


???:
...On that note, enjoy your investigation!

Trucy:
Thank you! Will we see you again...?

???:
Ask the wind, Fräulein. I'll be riding on it!

Apollo:
...Who was that?

Trucy:
Eeeeeeeeeek! Apollo! Look! A c-corpse!

Apollo:
Whaaaat!? ...Hey, it's just a mannequin.

Trucy:
Wow. It sure got me.

???:
Ahem. Might I ask exactly what it is you're doing here? Oh, it's you. How did you kids get in here?

Trucy:
Oh! This guy, well, he was more like a prince really. He let us in...

???:
Him again. That glimmerous fop, always getting in my way... Anyway! This scene is off limits.

Apollo:
Excuse me? We have a letter of request!

???:
...Hmm. One moment.

Apollo:
(Why is she holding that big magnifying glass...?)


???:
.............................. I'd recognize that handwriting anywhere. Scientific analysis says this was written by Alita Tiala.

Apollo:
...Thanks. (It took you thirty minutes to figure that out!?) So... what's up with the mannequin there?

???:
It's taking the place of the body, preserving the scene of the crime as it was found.

Apollo:
(The body... was pulling the stand!?)

Ema:
So, you're a defense attorney, are you? Detective Ema Skye. I'm in charge of this crime scene.

Trucy:
She doesn't seem that happy about it.

Apollo:
...She doesn't seem that happy about many things.

Ema:
I trust you know how to stay out of the way. I always carry two pairs of handcuffs... just in case.


June 15
Eldoon's House


Trucy:
Oh, Mr. Eldoon...! Hello?

Apollo:
Looks like he left.

Trucy:
And we found his stand and everything! What about our free bowl!?

Apollo:
Oh, too bad, looks like we'll have to wait a little longer for that bowl. So sorry.

Trucy:
Aw, what a bummer.


June 15
Hickfield Clinic


Phoenix:
Ah, you're back! Run into some problems?

Trucy:
Oh, Polly, didn't you want to tell Daddy something?

Apollo:
Who? Me? No! I'm fine. Really.

Phoenix:
What's this? So there is a problem?

Apollo:
No, no problem. Actually, I got a defense request.

Phoenix:
A defense request! That is a problem.

Apollo:
Huh...?

Phoenix:
I've given up the court. I'm not a lawyer anymore.

Apollo:
... The request was for me!

Phoenix:
Oh, right. You're a lawyer, aren't you?

Apollo:
(He's doing that on purpose! I know it!)

After clearing all Talk options:

Phoenix:
...Now, what was the problem again? Having trouble investigating the crime scene in the park?

Trucy:
Yeah. That detective woman won't let us!

Phoenix:
...Go to the office. Under the silk top hat you'll find a bottle of white powder. Try taking that to this detective.

Apollo:
"White powder"...? (I hope it's not what I think it is.)

Phoenix:
Just take it to her. It'll be fine, you'll see. Oh, and tell her I said hi.


Wright Anything Agency (after clearing all Talk options with Phoenix Wright)

Apollo:
So this must be the "silk top hat" Mr. Wright mentioned. Let's take a closer look... Huh?

Trucy:
Whoa!

Apollo:
You know what this is, Trucy?

Trucy:
I... remember finding some in Daddy's dresser when I was little. I thought it was sugar, so I licked it... He got mad at me.

Apollo:
(This is getting more and more suspicious...)

White powder placed gingerly into pocket.

Trucy:
Let's go talk to that detective! She's sure to know what that white powder is!


People Park (after examining silk hat in Wright Anything Agency)


After examining trash can and knife, and clearing all Talk options:

Ema:
So... have you met the defendant?

Apollo:
Ah. Uh... No.

Ema:
Visiting hours are almost over at the detention center. You might think about wrapping up here and heading over.

Apollo:
Good idea. (I don't know what good it will do. We have a witness, and a knife with prints... Have I mentioned I've got a bad feeling about this?)

Ema:
Don't worry, it's like a Wright tradition.

Apollo:
(Some traditions I can live without.)


June 15
Detention Center
Visitor's Room


Guard:
I'm sorry. Meeting hours for the day are all done.

Apollo:
B-But we still have three minutes!

Guard:
I'll put in your request, but don't expect anything. The father's talking in the private room with him.

Trucy:
The father? You mean like a priest?

Guard:
I mean the suspect's father, Mr. Winfred "Big Wins" Kitaki himself.

Apollo:
(Not someone I care to meet...)

???:
...Die you--!!!

???:
...You're the one on your way out, old--!!!

Apollo:
......

Trucy:
.........

Guard:
Ah. They're here.

Apollo:
(Whoa! This guy radiates power! Power.. with a cute apron?)

???:
You Wocky's lawyer?

Apollo:
Y-Yes, sir!

Big Wins:
Well, I'm Big Wins Kitaki, fourth head of the Kitaki family... capice?

Apollo:
Er... Actually, I came to speak to your son.

Big Wins:
... Mr. Justice.

Apollo:
Yes?

Big Wins:
My son's innocent. He killed no one. If he were found guilty... it wouldn't be good. ...Capice?

Apollo:
Y-Yes! I'm all about capicing! Capice'd loud and clear!

Big Wins:
You gotta do more than just understand to make it. You'll learn, though. Even if the lesson comes at the end of your short life.

Apollo:
(I don't feel so good...)

Wocky:
What's the big idea, old man! You can't treat me like a kid no more, not now! You know I... I... I wanted to go to the clink! I like it here!

Apollo:
You... must be Wocky?

Wocky:
A G's not a G till he does hard time! Bizzoooy! You'll see. When I get out of here, things'll change!

Big Wins:
Silence! My apologies, Mr. Justice... He's usually such a nice boy.

Apollo:
(Forgive me if I have a hard time believing that.)

Wocky:
Ha! You can't take me under your wing this time, old man! You heard me! I don't need no trial! I did it!

Big Wins:
...I think that's enough for today, Mr. Justice. Don't let me down tomorrow.


Apollo:
So much for talking to our client.

Trucy:
But we made so much progress today! We even found my panties! I had fun, at least.

Apollo:
Of course, the biggest mystery of all remains... (How am I supposed to build a case for the trial!?)

Trucy:
Oh, almost forgot, it's time for my show! Tonight I'm performing at the Wonder Bar! You should come check it out.

To be continued.
