-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grrah!
You have disgraced me for the
last time, Steel Samurai!
The pale moon in the sky
cries for your blood!
The moon? No, it is you who
should gaze upon the moon...
For it will be the last moon
you ever see!
See you in hell,
Evil Magistrate!
Whoooooooaaaaaaa!
Grrrrrraaaaaaaah!
The warriors' swords gleam
and strike in the moonlight!
One has fallen... but who?
Only the moon knows!
Don't miss next week's
exciting episode:
"The Dark Messenger Returns!"

That rocked!
-Maya
"See you in Hell,
Evil Magistrate!!!"
-
Whoa!
Stop waving that broom
around!
-Maya
Oh, Nick!
I didn't know you were here!
-
Of course I'm here!
-
What was that surreal
show you were watching?
-Maya
What!?
Nick, you mean, you don't
know the Steel Samurai!?
-Maya
He's only the most popular
TV hero for young people!
-
Young...?
Like, how young?
-Maya
Umm... 10 years old?
-
Then what the heck are YOU
doing getting all excited!?
-Maya
Hey! I'm only 17!
-Maya
That's seven-"teen." See?
I'm a teen! Not like you,
Nick.
-
Hey! Don't talk to me like I'm
your grandpa or something.
I'm only 24 myself.
-Maya
Then watch it with me!
He's really cool!
And... it's really popular!
-Maya
When they asked grade school
kids what they wanted to be,
"Steel Samurai" was no.1!
-
I really worry about kids
these days.
-Maya
Gramps!
-Maya
Well, the Steel Samurai's
over. I guess it's time to
close up the office.
-
I guess...
-
Wish we had some clients!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
A month has passed
since my trial.
-
Mia's murder was the talk of
the town for some time...
-
But no one paid any attention
to the Wright & Co. Law
Offices...
-
How am I going to
pay the rent this month?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
It'll be okay.
-Maya
I'm sure some big client
is just around the corner!
-
Hmph.

-
Huh? You mean the
guy on that show?
-Maya
Yes!
-Maya
They're saying that the
Steel Samurai killed
a villain!
-
...
-
Umm...
-
Isn't that what he's
supposed to do?
-Maya
Yeah, on TV!
-
Yeah, on TV.
-Maya
No! I mean, he actually
did it! In real life!
-Maya
He skewered a villain
with his Samurai Spear!
-
I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
-Maya
Just come to the office,
quick! Please, Nick!

Now for the morning news.
-TV
The actor Will Powers
was arrested yesterday.
Powers plays the lead role
-TV
in the popular kid's show
"The Steel Samurai: Warrior
of Neo Olde
-TV
He was arrested on
suspicion of murder.
-TV
The victim was Jack Hammer,
who plays the villain known
as the "Evil Magistrate."
-TV
His body was found still
inside the Evil Magistrate
costume.
-TV
The "Samurai Spear" was also
found stuck through the body.
-TV
Police believe this was the
murder weapon, and are
investigating further.
-
...
-
This has to be a joke.
-Maya
No, no, no! It's a nightmare!
The Steel Samurai is over!
The world is over!

So what!?

So, I've decided this
will be our first case!

What's wrong, Maya?
It's him! In the flesh!
-Maya
Umm...
Is that guy really him?
-
Whaddya mean "that guy"?
Of course it's him!
-
Will Powers, our client!
That's him.
-Maya
Um, maybe I shouldn't
be saying this...
-Maya
But he definitely did it.
Murder. At least once.
Maybe twice.
-
Whoa whoa whoa!
What are you saying!?
-Will
Umm...
-Maya
Y-yes!?
-Will
Something wrong...?
-Maya
N-no! No!
-
(This is getting off to a
great start.)
-Will
I know, I know. You're
disappointed, aren't you?
-Maya
D-disappointed!? Oh, no.
Oh no.
-Will
No, it's okay.
This is the real me.
-Will
When I got the part of
the Steel Samurai, with
that mask...
-Will
I decided I would never show
my face in public until the
job was over.
-Will
It's the kids, you know.
I didn't want to wreck
their dreams.
-Maya
Oh...
-Will
I guess it didn't matter.
-Will
So much for dreams.
-Will
I wonder what they think
of the Steel Samurai now.
-Will
*sniff*
Uwaaah!

Nick!
-
What?
-Maya
He's a good guy!
I mean, he's good!

Yeah.

He didn't do it!

***Talk about "What happened"***************

* Maybe you could start by

*
* -Will
* Y-yes. Of course.
*
* -Will
* It seems like it was only
* yesterday. Actually, it was
* only yesterday.
*
* -Will
* The cast had come down

*

* We went through a few

*
* -Will
* The Evil Magistrate was
* found lying in a crumpled
* heap near the set.
*
* -Will
* They took off his mask...
*
* -Will
* And discovered that it was
* Jack Hammer... dead!
*
* -Will
* He had been expertly skewered
* with the Samurai Spear.
*
-
* The "Samurai Spear"...?
*
* -Will
* Yes, it's a long spear
* that I... that the Steel
* Samurai uses as a weapon.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The Steel Samurai"***********
*
* -
* Maybe you could explain to me
* just what "the Steel Samurai"
* is.
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
* How could you say such a
* thing?
*
* -Maya
* I-I'm sorry, sir, I apologize
* for my partner!
*
* -Maya
* He's new to this, and a bit
* OUT OF TOUCH with the world.
*
* -
* Hey! Who's "new to this"!?
*
* -Will
* No, it's alright, really.
*
* -Will
* The Steel Samurai is the lead
* character in a popular kid's
* show.
*
* -Will
* He walks the streets of
* Neo Olde Tokyo...
*
* -Will
* Fighting battle after battle
* against the Evil Magistrate
* and his minions.
*
* -Will
* Of course, he never really
* defeats the Evil Magistrate.
*
* -Will
* Although...
*
* -Will
* I guess he did defeat
* him this time...
*
* -Will
* *sniff*
* Uwaaah!
*
* -
* I-I see.
*

* (Neo Olde
* Who comes up with
* these names!?)

********************************************
***Talk about "Powers's alibi"**************
*
* -
* Now, where were you on
* the day of the murder?
*
* -Will
* Well, that morning I came
* to studios at
*
* -Will
* We worked through some
* action scenes until
*
* -Will
* Rehearsal was to begin at
* 5:00, but I was a little
* tired.
*
* -Will
* So after lunch, I took a nap
* in my dressing room.
*
* -Will
* When I woke up, it was
* after
* for the rehearsal!
*
* -Will
* I hurried to the studio...
* and found everyone looking
* shocked.
*
* -Will
* They arrested me on the
* spot, and brought me here.
*
* -
* (So he was sleeping the entire
* afternoon of the murder?)
*
* -
* (Some action hero!)
*
* -Will
* What will the kids think?
* *sniff*
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -
* I think I should probably
* check out the scene of
* the murder...
*
* -Will
* Right... Global Studios.
* I'll draw you a map.
*
* -Maya
* Wow! Nick! Let's go!
*

Wow! So this is where they
make the Steel Samurai show!
-Maya
Awesome!
Aren't you excited!?
-Oldbag
Hey! You there!
-Oldbag
You want in, you gotta
go through me!
-Maya
O-oh... s-sorry!
-Maya
W-we're, um, lawyers.
-Oldbag
Oh yeah? Well that's great.
I'm security!
-Oldbag
And it's my job to make
sure that gawkers like
you stay OUT.
-Maya
G-gawkers?
-Oldbag
Gawkers! Sightseers!
Tourists!!!
-Oldbag
I know the type. You heard
about the incident and came
to snoop around.
-Oldbag
Youths today! Something
horrible happens and all you
can think of is sightseeing.
-Oldbag
Wasting your time
at a place like this.
-Oldbag
Don't you have jobs
you should be doing?
-Oldbag
Or do lawyers not work like
the rest of us? Maybe I should
become a lawyer too. Sounds
-Oldbag
like a life of ease to me no
work just loafing around all
day as you please. Well when
-Oldbag
I was young things were a mite
different, mind you we didn't
prance around in strange
-Oldbag
hippie clothes. What are the
youths coming to these days my
own son hasn't called in...
-Maya
Umm... Nick?
-Maya
Will I grow up to be like
her? Please say "no."
-
I dunno! It's possible.
-Oldbag
Hey!
-Oldbag
Listen when you're being
spoken to! Youths today!

*
* -
* (Absolutely not!)

***Talk about "The studios"*****************
*
* -
* So, what do you do here
* at the studios?
*
* -Oldbag
* At Global Studios, we make
* children's dreams come true!
*
* -Oldbag
* In fact, in my
* younger days...
*
* -Maya
* No! You were a star!?
*
* -Oldbag
* Only a little twinkle
* between the stars here,
* I'm afraid, dearie.
*
* -Maya
* Wo... wow.
*
* -Oldbag
* This place has really
* gone downhill, you know?
*
* -Oldbag
* But 10 years ago, now that
* was a studio of dreams!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer was a big star back
* then too, he was...
*
* -
* Hammer...?
*
* -Oldbag
* The victim, dummy!
*
* -Oldbag
* The Evil Magistrate!
*
* -Oldbag
* He's been reduced to playing
* villains now. Not exactly the
* best material to work with...
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Will Powers"*****************
*
* -
* Can you tell me about
* Mr. Will Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* He's not a bad kid, but
* don't be fooled by his mask!
*
* -Oldbag
* You wouldn't want him on
* the silver screen without
* it, believe me.
*
* -Oldbag
* Little old ladies watching
* would lose their lunch!
*
* -Oldbag
* That's probably why he thought
* that the Steel Samurai was
* his "big chance."
*
* -Oldbag
* No one thought he was
* capable of doing what he
* did to poor Jack Hammer...
*
* -Maya
* We don't know for certain
* that Will Powers is guilty!
*
* -Oldbag
* Powers? Of course he's guilty!
*
* -Oldbag
* How do I know?
* I know everything!
* That's my job.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -
* What kind of person
* was Jack Hammer?
*
* -Oldbag
* What "kind of person"?
* Oh... if you only knew!
*
* -Oldbag
* Jack Hammer will live on
* in many hearts as the
* ultimate action hero!
*
* -Oldbag
* He was simply dashing
* in the Dynamite Samurai
* series!
*
* -
* (Should I have heard
* of that...?)
*
* -Oldbag
* But... there was an accident
* during filming five years ago.
*
* -Oldbag
* He got an unlucky break
* after that.
*
* -Oldbag
* Reduced to playing the villain
* on a children's program!
*
* -Oldbag
* What's more, I heard they
* were paying him peanuts.
* It's enough to make you cry.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -
* Why are you so certain
* Mr. Powers is the killer?
*
* -Oldbag
* I was standing right
* here yesterday, I was.
*
* -Oldbag
* I was here from
* the afternoon, to
* when they found the body!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now the studio where the
* murder took place is to
* the left here.
*
* -Oldbag
* So if you want to go to
* the studio, you have to
* pass by me!
*
* -Oldbag
* Only one person went by here
* between
* the murder took place!
*
* -
* And... that person
* was Mr. Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* Yes.
* I saw him!
*
* -
* But Mr. Powers says he was
* sleeping in his dressing room.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, I'm sure he would
* say that. He's no fool!
*
* -Oldbag
* But he was the only
* one that walked by.
*
* -Oldbag
* He's the killer, you can
* bet your biscuits on it.
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Oldbag
Isn't it about time for
you to be heading home?
-Oldbag
There's nothing to see here.
Move along.
-
Um, actually, we're here
at Mr. Powers's request.
-Oldbag
Hmph! I thought you were
suspicious lookin'!
-Oldbag
Show me a "letter of
request."
-Oldbag
And maybe I'll just
let you in.
-Maya
This lady here thinks
she owns this place,
obviously.

Hello!
How was the studio?
-Will
They all think I did it,
don't they?
-Maya
N-no, not at all!
Isn't that right, Nick?
-
Right, not at all.
At worst, you're a suspect.

***Talk about "Your alibi"******************
*
* -
* Mr. Powers, you aren't
* hiding anything from
* me, are you?
*
* -Will
* W-what?
* No! I'd never do that!
*
* -
* Just now you said that you
* were sleeping in your dressing
* room after lunch.
*
* -Will
* Yes.
* Like a baby.
*
* -
* But the security lady
* said she saw you that day.
*
* -
* She says she saw you heading
* towards the scene of the
* crime!
*
* -Will
* W-what!? That's not possible!
*
* -Will
* I... I really don't know
* what to say! I was sleeping,
* I promise!
*
* -
* Mr. Powers, if you want me
* to help you, you have to
* tell me the truth.
*
* -
* I'm new to this lawyer
* business, and I need every
* advantage I can get.
*
* -Will
* I know... I-I'm sorry.
* *sniff*
*
* -Will
* But, I swear to you on my
* momma's grave, I was sleeping.
*
* -Will
* Maybe the security lady
* only thought she saw me?
*
* -
* (What did she see...?
* He doesn't seem to be lying.)

***Talk about "The security lady"***********

* guard at the main gate
* to the studio...

* -Will
* Oh, the security lady?
*
* -Maya
* She's terrible! She called me
* "suspicious lookin'"!
*
* -Will
* Y-yes... actually, she's said
* the same thing to me before.
*
* -Will
* "Take off that mask!" were
* her words, I believe.
*
* -Will
* She sucks up to all the
* bigwigs at the studio...
*
* -Will
* But let her see you stumble
* once and she'll never let
* up on you.
*
* -Maya
* Grr! She's got some nerve!
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -
* Do you think you ould write
* up a letter formally
* requesting my representation?
*
* -Will
* Of c-course.

***Present other****************************
*
* -Will
* I-I'm sorry.
*
* -Will
* I'm sure that's very

MOVE TO: Outside Studio One
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 16
Studio One Entrance
-Gumshoe
Hey!
-Gumshoe
Aren't you that murderer
from the other day!
-Maya
Aah!
It's that confused detective!
-Gumshoe
Hey pal, you know Prosecutor
Edgeworth is all upset, and
it's your fault!
-Gumshoe
I saw him sipping tea
and staring gloomily out
the window!
-
Umm... so?
-Maya
Hey!
-Maya
If he's depressed, it's all
your fault for doing sloppy
detective work!
-Gumshoe
!!!
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
...
-Gumshoe
...
-Maya
Um, Detective?
-
I think you hurt his feelings.
-Maya
Oh no!
I... I'm sorry!
-
Well, I think his feelings
are easily hurt.
-Gumshoe
You're right, pal.
It's all my fault.
-Gumshoe
I can blame other people
all I want, but I know
the truth in my heart!
-Maya
Hey, hey! Don't take it
so hard! There's always
the next case!
-Gumshoe
Yeah, I suppose you're right.
-Gumshoe
Hey!
-Gumshoe
What exactly are you
two doing here?
-Maya
Um, well...
-Maya
We're on this case too, pal!
-Gumshoe
Huh!? Hey! You can't
just go saying "pal"
like that!
-Gumshoe
That's MY endearing
character trait!
-Maya
I'd say he's a character
alright...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Maya
* There's a big welcome
* sign above the path.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, apparently the studio's
* fallen on tough times.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They've started letting
* people in on days they
* aren't filming.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They make a bit of extra
* money by charging for
* admission.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
* You sure know a lot about
* this place, Detective.
*
* -Maya
* You know, you could always
* quit being a detective
* and work here?
*
* -
* Yeah! And what perfect
* timing, with the monkey's
* neck broken and all.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? Just what's that
* supposed to mean, pal!?
*
********************************************
***Examine bench****************************
*
* -
* I'm a little bushed.
* Maybe I'll take a short
* rest here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, good idea, pal!
*
* -Maya
* Detective!
* Aren't you on the case?
*
* -Gumshoe
* W-well, yeah, but...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, us detectives get
* tired of standing around
* too, pal!
*
********************************************
***Examine path to the left*****************
*
* -
* Detective Gumshoe, what's
* down the path to the left?
*
* -
* It looks like a tree
* fell down over the path...?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, yeah. That way's kind
* of dangerous. You should
* stay out, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* There's nothing down
* there, anyway.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's where Studio Two
* used to be, they tell me.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They don't use it now, though.
*
********************************************
***Examine mascot***************************
*
* -
* The studio mascot.
*
* -
* I guess it's a monkey
* of some kind.
*
* -
* But what kind of monkey has
* a nose like that?
*
* -
* He's holding a sign
* in his hand.
*
* -
* [Right: To Studio One
* Left: To Studio Two]
*
* -Maya
* What's up with that
* thing!? It looks
* kind of... busted.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, the wind was pretty
* strong yesterday, and
* the head broke off.
*
* -Gumshoe
* It took that tree down
* with it, too.
*
********************************************
***Examine camera***************************
*
* -
* Hey, there's a
* camera here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's the security camera.
* It takes photos of people
* going to the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* All you have to do is look
* at the data and you can see
* who went where!
*
* -
* There's a number plate
* on the camera... [ST1-307].
*
* -
* That must be the
* camera ID number.
*
********************************************
***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -
* This is the studio where they
* found Jack Hammer's body.
*
* -Maya
* Let's go in and check
* it out, Nick!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Hey! It's locked!
*
* -
* Looks like you need a
* cardkey to get in.
*
* -Phoenx
* It makes sense that they
* would want to keep the
* non-employees out.
*
********************************************
***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -
* Detective, see this?
* This is my attorney's badge.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Uh huh?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Don'tcha think it's a little
* sad when you have to explain
* what your badge means, pal?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Real men show their P.D.
* badge and that's that!
*
* -
* I'll admit the design of
* my badge leaves a lot to
* be desired...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe it should just be
* a big "L" for "Lawyer"?
*
* -
* Hmm... I'm not so
* sure about that.
*
********************************************
***Present other****************************
*
* -
* Um, Detective.
* Any ideas about this?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Look, I don't got time to
* look at every little trinket
* you got, okay pal?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation"***********
*
* -
* So, how is your investigation
* going, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, it's... Hey! I can't
* tell you that, pal.
*
* -Maya
* Nick...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe you need to be a little
* more indirect with your
* questions?
*
* -
* Right.
* So, Detective, mind if I take
* a look at what you got?
*
* -Gumshoe
* What I got?
*
* -
* The autopsy report!
* The latest version, if
* you please...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm... right, right.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry about what happened
* last time, pal.
*
* Autopsy Report added to
* the Court Record.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The investigation" again*****
*
* -
* So, how is your investigation
* going, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm not at liberty to give
* you any more information, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You'll hear all you
* need to know in court!
*
* -
* (Oh well, it was
* worth a try.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for arrest"***********
*
* -
* Why was Mr. Powers arrested?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Simple, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* The murder took place right
* over there in Studio One.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Now, the victim entered
* Studio One at approximately
*
*
* -Gumshoe
* At that time, there was no
* one other than the victim
* in the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* According to the autopsy report,
* the time of death was
*
* -Gumshoe
* Only one person went to the
* studio between
*
* -Gumshoe
* And that person was none
* other than Will Powers!
*
* -Gumshoe
* No one else, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* If you think I'm lying,
* ask the security lady
* at the main gate.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! If that's true...!
*
* -Maya
* Anyone would think that
* Powers did it with that
* kind of evidence!
*
* -
* Thanks for cheering me up...
*
********************************************
***Talk about "The Security Lady"***********
*
* -
* About the security lady...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, that sweet old lady.
* What a charmer!
*
* -
* Huh?
* A-are we talking about
* the same person?
*
* -Gumshoe
* When I showed her my badge
* she gave me a donut and
* some coffee!
*
* -Maya
* Remember what Powers said.
* She's a sucker for authority.
*
* -Gumshoe
* She even gave me a piece
* of valuable evidence!
*
* -Maya
* Whaat!?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Decisive evidence"***********
*
* -
* What kind of evidence!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, that, er, photo.
*
* -Gumshoe
* The photo of the Steel Samurai
* heading toward the scene
* of the crime!
*
* -Maya
* What!
* Who took that!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* See the camera up
* on that gate, pal?
*
* -Maya
* The gate? You mean the
* one with the welcome sign?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah. Whenever someone walks
* by, that camera automatically
* snaps a photo of them!
*
* -Maya
* Oh no!
*
* -Maya
* Nick, he has evidence!
* We're finished!
*
* -
* (Funny, for someone with
* hard proof he doesn't look
* too happy.)
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
********************************************
AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
-Gumshoe
What's wrong, pal?
You seem down.
-
Don't look so happy
when you say that.
-Gumshoe
Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!
-Maya
Umm...
-Maya
We'd like to ask the employees
here some questions...
-Gumshoe
Sure thing, pal.
-Gumshoe
Go wherever you like.
-Gumshoe
Of course, you're not going
to find any clues I haven't
already found! Hah hah hah!
-
(I'm glad someone around
here seems to be enjoying
themselves.)
-Maya
Nick, let's go!
-Maya
We've got a free pass to
the place. Now's our chance
to check things out!
MOVE TO: Studio - Main Gate
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Maya
Nick! Look!
-Maya
That security lady is in the
guard station stuffing her
face with donuts!
-Maya
I guess all cops like
their donuts!
-
Yeah, and they're soft
enough she doesn't need
teeth to chew them...
-Oldbag
Hey, you!
-Oldbag
Well? Are you satisfied
Powers is guilty yet?
-
(Urk!)
-
(She had to make my life
harder by giving that photo
to Detective Gumshoe...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********
*
* -
* Why didn't you tell
* us about the security
* photo, ma'am?
*
* -Oldbag
* Hmm? Oh, that?
*
* -Oldbag
* I just thought it would be
* more thrilling to talk
* with the detective himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* These things are important,
* you know.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, just to the left from
* here is the gate with the
* camera that took that photo.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's my job to check the
* photos every day, you see.
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -Oldbag
* This guard station is in a
* central position.
*
* -Oldbag
* No matter where you go here,
* you pass by my station first!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now poor Hammer, he went to
* the studio just before
*
* -Oldbag
* The murder happened right
* around 2:30, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* The only one I seen go through
* here between
* was Powers himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* The security camera got
* a good look at him too.
*
* -Oldbag
* If he's not the one what
* did it, I don't know who is!
*
* -
* Maybe... it was you?
*
* -Oldbag
* Gyah hah ha hah!
* Good one, sonny.
*
* -
* (She thinks I was joking.)
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -
* Was the victim, Mr. Hammer,
* a popular actor?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, he was the biggest
* star in the studio!
*
* -
* ("Was"? Past tense?)
*
* -Maya
* Oh yes! He was great as
* the "Bearded Samurai"!
*
* -Oldbag
* That too, yes.
*
* -Oldbag
* He shone the brightest!
* Back in the day.
*
* -Oldbag
* Making a star like him play
* the "Evil Magistrate"...
* It's a disgrace, I tell you!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer took it pretty hard,
* and who can blame him?
*
********************************************
***Talk about "Automatic camera"************
*
* -
* About the security camera...
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh yes, the camera.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's automatic. It can tell
* when someone walks through
* that gate, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* Then it snaps a photo!
*
* -Oldbag
* Apparently, it records the
* time when it takes a picture
* too.
*
* -Oldbag
* But I don't bother myself
* with those details.
*
* -Oldbag
* I just view all the photos
* on the computer over in the
* security guard station.
*
* -Oldbag
* I check 'em every day before
* going home, I do.

MOVE TO: Wright & Co.Law Offices

October 16
Wright & Co. Law Offices
-Maya
What's going on, Nick!?
-Maya
Powers said he was sleeping
in his dressing room!
-Maya
But now there's a photo
of him going to the studio!?
-
Don't look at me!
How should I know?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***Talk about "What to do"******************
*
* -
* What do you think?
*
* -Maya
* That photo the detective was
* talking about is the problem
* here.
*
* -
* Well, that's hard to say,
* without seeing the actual
* photo ourselves.
*
* -
* But if it is Powers in that
* photo, his alibi is shot.
