Part 109: Episode 4, Final Day: Trial: Yanni Yogi

We're here. Time to get to the bottom of... everything.

Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture

(Today, things are going to get settled at last... A lot of things.)

Music: Silence

^{Sound: Electric Ping x 2}

Wh-what's the big idea!?
^{Sound: Damage 2}

Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture

S-s-sorry, Nick!

I only touched your shoulder!

It's the next morning. I guess spirit mediums make good batteries; she held that charge a long time.

Anyhow, today's the last day of the trial! Good luck, Nick!

Yeah... thanks, Maya.

...

(I hope von Karma doesn't push him too hard.)

...

Music: Silence

^{Sound: Electric Ping x 2}

^{Sound: Damage 2}

Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture

Sorry! I'm sorry!

Why don't you go over and give Karma a hearty handshake when you see him?

Maya...

Maybe you should go outside and discharge?

Right. Good idea.
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

(Try not to electrocute anyone on your way out...)

^{Sound: Door Opens}
^{Sound: Electric Ping}

Music: Courtroom Lobby ~ Beginning Overture

^{Sound: Door Opens}

What's gotten into that girl?

Detective Gumshoe!
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

^{Sound: Objection}

Uh... good morning.

How did it go, Detective?

^{Sound: Light Bulb}

I just brought him in. Took all night, pal.

Thanks, Detective Gumshoe. You must be tired.

(Yogi says he's forgotten his own name...)

Music: Silence

(But that has to be a lie!)

(He does remember... and I'm going to prove it!)

I guess we know what the first part of today's trial will be about.

^{Sound: Gallery}

^{Sound: Gavel}

Music: Trial

The defense is ready, Your Honor.

...

...
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

U-uh... right, very well.

The judge is stunned into silence by Karma's basic compliance.

I ask that the prosecution submit decisive evidence.

Understood.

...
^{Sound: Light Bulb}

We have a very long, steep climb ahead of us.

Very well, Mr. von Karma, your opening statement.

Right.

In yesterday's trial, the defense asserted that the caretaker was the murderer.

However, the caretaker has yet to confirm this.

Karma's plan is to have Edgeworth confess to the DL-6 Incident, which can only come up if we nail the caretaker as wanting revenge for said incident. So of course he really does want us to succeed here, initially.

Very well!

Please bring the witness into the courtroom.

Ladies and gentlemen of the court...

I believe you all remember our witness.

In addition, he has currently lost memory of his name and identity.

Witness!

Why did you run away yesterday?

I-I see.

Very well, please begin your testimony.

Music: Silence

^{Sound: Gavel}

Zzzz... mmph?

^{Sound: Testimony 2}

Music: Questioning - Moderato

But, I wasn't running away or nothing.

I, uh, went to buy some food for Polly, see...

I figured I got nothing to do with this incident anyhow.

So, my testimony yesterday stands as is.

Not a lot to work with there. I guess we push on the motive part?

Music: Silence

Hmm... Very well.

(He has to know his name!)

(Yanni Yogi! You're Yanni Yogi and I'm going to prove it!)

^{Sound: Testimony 2}

Music: Questioning - Moderato

(Do that and the motive will prove itself!)

No idea how to do that yet, so I guess we'll just start by pressing on everything as usual.

Er, I'm really sorry about just leaving yesterday like I did.

I'd call what you did "running away," and not "just leaving."

Now, Mr. Wright, there's no need to rush to conclusions.

Listen to the testimony.

(He sure seems relaxed!)

Of course Karma is relaxed, he's in a win-win here. Either Edgeworth is guilty here if we're incompetent at this cross, or Edgeworth confesses to DL-6 because he's a weirdo.

But, I wasn't running away or nothing.

Then why did you leave!?

He's just about to say why!

(If I sat quietly, Edgeworth would be guilty in three minutes!)

Hey, I wouldn't press on everything if the game didn't hide its plot triggers behind random presses all the time. ...Okay I would still press on everything.

I, uh, went to buy some food for Polly, see...

Food...?

Well, Polly is a bit of a gourmand, you see.

They only have them in the big pet shop downtown.

But you weren't arrested until this morning!

Er... well...

I kind of got lost, you see.

The witness has trouble remembering things sometimes.

(Yeah, right! Nice try von Karma! No one's going to believe that!)

(Please! Your Honor, come to your senses!)
^{Sound: Whoops}

I figured I got nothing to do with this incident anyhow.

You've lost much of your memory, is that correct?

Er... ayup, seems like it.

^{Sound: Desk Slam}

Uh...

Or...

Or maybe you're lying about not having your memory, hmm?

You know exactly who you are!

Karma may be "relaxed" but he's still objecting to every point we try to make.

If you claim he's lying, then show the court proof!

(Grr...)

(That's impossible!)

Very well, witness. Please continue.

Er... I mean, I'd need one of those "motive" things, right? And I don't got one.

How can you say you had no motive? I say you do!

That's why you took revenge on them! Right?

Please don't make me repeat myself, Mr. Wright!

He can't hold a grudge! It's impossible!

(I have to prove he's lying about his memory...)

Music: Silence

^{Sound: Gavel}

Pressing on the last two of Yogi's statements (in either order) leads to the judge interrupting us.

Might I say something, Mr. Wright?

Yes... Yes, Your Honor?

You've been calling the witness's memory of the past or lack thereof into question.

Of course, Your Honor.

The witness has said he has "nothing to do with this case" and "no motive"...

^{Sound: Desk Slam}

^{Sound: Objection}

Music: Telling the Truth

^{Sound: Gallery}

^{Sound: Gavel}

Order! Order!

^{Sound: Whack}

Or... are you saying...

Of course, Your Honor!

^{Sound: Fwa-Shing 2}

Ho hoh! Now, this is interesting.

(Don't play dumb von Karma!)
^{Sound: Stab}

A penalty attached, but it's not much of a choice here.

Music: Silence

^{Sound: Objection}

...

Yogi...? That name seems familiar.
^{Sound: Realization}

...

Oh!
^{Sound: Light Bulb}
^{Sound: Shock 2}

^{Sound: Objection}

quote:

The penalty on this choice doesn't even matter, the other two options are so ridiculous. Let's start by claiming he's Gregory Edgeworth.

Music: Silence

His name... is "Gregory Edgeworth"!
^{Sound: Objection}

...

Er... Mr. Wright?

All of us here remember what Gregory Edgeworth looked like.

And he looked nothing like this, believe me.
^{Sound: Realization}

There's another cut to Yogi on the witness stand for the previous line.

(Wow... that's pretty harsh, Your Honor...)

I'm going to have to penalize you for your wild claim!
^{Sound: Damage 2}

Music: Telling the Truth

Now... let me ask you again.

Mr. Wright, please tell us this witness's name.

We're returned to the previous prompt to try again... unless we ran out of tries, of course.

quote:

The old man being the victim would be an even neater trick.

Music: Silence

His name... is "Robert Hammond"!
^{Sound: Objection}

...

Mr. Wright.

Robert Hammond is the name of the victim in this case.

Uh...

Generally, the victim in a murder case is no longer living.

That's true...

Please, try again.
^{Sound: Damage 2}

Music: Telling the Truth

Mr. Wright, please tell us this witness's name.

Another penalty for a rather silly choice.
