Turnabout Goodbyes (Part 5!!!!!)
You, Phoenix, and the girls went to visit Maya in the Detention Center.
(Y/N): Maya?
Weiss: Are you okay?
Maya: Yeah. I'm just glad at Edgeworth made it through the day.
Yang: That was awesome Maya! You literally saved the day.
Maya: I know I'm not a lawyer like Mia was, but ... I had to do something.
Phoenix: Just make sure you behave, from now on, okay?
Maya: Okay. Detective Gumshoe said that after questioning, I'll be let go! Oh, and he wanted me to get bail money ready.
Everyone: Right.
Later...
You guys found Gumshoe back in the woods of Gourd Lake Park.
Ruby: Hi, Detective Gumshoe!
Gumshoe: Hey there pals! Listen, even if the performance wasn't 100% great, you did help Mr. Edgeworth big time!
(Y/N): Thanks. By the way Detective Gumshoe. Any idea what strategy von Karma is planning for tomorrow?
Gumshoe: It sounds like he's bringing in another witness!
(Y/N): OH! That's right! He did say that!
Blake: Who was it?
Gumshoe: Sorry Pal, I'm not at liberty to say.
Weiss: Say, about Edgeworth, why is he afraid of earthquakes?
Gumshoe: ... Mr. Edgeworth doesn't talk about himself too much, see. But there's one thing that's clear as day... Him hating crime the way he does... And him becoming a lawyer... And him being scared of earthquakes... It all started with that incident.
(Y/N): Let me guess, DL-6?
Gumshoe: Yep, that's the one. Fifteen years ago... when he saw his father shot before his very eyes! He still feels the pain now, you can see it in his eyes.
Phoenix: Say, about Maya.
Gumshoe: Huh? She's not out on bail yet? That's strange. I told 'em to let her go as soon as they had their report written up. Man... I don't know what would have happened in that courtroom today if it weren't for her. Seeing her getting dragged out by the bailiff... I'll be honest with you, pal. I shed a tear or two. Edgeworth, he was so moved I saw his lip trembling.
Everyone: HE WHAT?!
Ruby: He does have a heart!
(Y/N): Heh, after meeting von Karma, I have to agree!
Gumshoe: I'm going to head back to the station. I'll get the report on Maya and get her out of there as soon as I can.
(Y/N): Thanks, Detective.
Phoenix: How much do we have to pay?
Gumshoe: Don't worry about that. Mr. Edgeworth is posting the whole amount.
Phoenix: What? Edgeworth...?
Gumshoe: Didn't I tell you? He's grateful to her for what she did. Alright, pal. Well don't forget to go pick her up, okay?
Yang: Heh, you know, Edgeworth is actually a cool guy when he wants to be.
(Y/N): He really is.
Phoenix: Edgeworth.
Soon...
Maya soon met up with you guys, and-
Maya: I'm free! Can you believe it!
Maya hugged all of you!
Weiss: Well ... now the investigation can be normal.
Maya: Aww! You missed me too Weiss?
Weiss: (blushing) N-No! It's not like I did miss you.
Maya: YOU SO DID! Those interrogators were really mean! They were like "okay, what did you do THIS time?" Like I was some kind of criminal! Can you believe it?
Weiss: Well, you should thank Edgeworth.
Phoenix: Yeah, he posted the bail.
Maya: EDGEWORTH DID ALL THAT?!
(Y/N): Yeah, can you believe it? Mr. Grumpy Pants himself!
Maya: .... WE HAVE TO WIN THIS CASE!
Ruby: Alright! Back to Gourd Lake!
Back at Gourd Lake...
You all ran into-
Lotta: Hey Y'all!
Everyone: Lotta!
(Y/N): Listen, no offense to-
Lotta: Naw, I'm not complaining! See, I did a little thinking. A little... self-reflection, you might say. I realized that bein' a witness is a mighty big responsibility. But I just went up there and started blabbing any old thing that came to mind. Now, I want to make it up to y'all.
Phoenix: Lotta, what do you mean by "making it up to us"?
Lotta: Well, ya see... Actually, I got a bit of information for you.
Maya: What!?
Lotta: That von Karma didn't want me to say nothin' about it.
Maya: Wh-what information!?
Lotta: Now we're getting to the heart of it! See, I reckoned we might be able to do ourselves a little "exchange."
(Y/N): Exchange?
Ruby: Lotta, that's not exactly what we thought.
Lotta: What!? Information don't come cheap, my friend!
Weiss: You are stingy.
Lotta: Hey! I see you thinking "my, how unsophisticated these southern folks are"!!! It's written all over yer face! Let me tell you, most southerners are WAY more sophisticated than you... I'm just the exception, okay? Well, what'll it be? We gonna deal, or not!?
Everyone: ..... Deal.
(Y/N): So, how much should I-
Lotta: Huh? You completely off your rocker? I may not be sophisticated, but I'm not trying to rob the poor! What I want is information, on Gourdy!
Blake: Oh no.
(Y/N): But what if Gourdy doesn't exist?
Lotta: Then bring me proof that he doesn't exist. I'll be keepin' watch from the car, okay? You see something, y'all come to me first, got it?
Everyone: Right.
Lotta: Good! See ya!
She then took off.
Ruby: Guess we're going, Monster Hunting!
Maya: This should be fun!
By the public beach...
There was a big Steel Samurai Balloon by the Samurai Dog stand.
Larry: Hey there guys!
Larry appeared!
https://youtu.be/Ry87VcpXwjo
Phoenix: Larry, what the hell is that thing?
Larry: Oh, it was my girl Kiyance's idea... She was all "if you like, put this here, it would be, like, really cool!" Dude, she gave it to me along with the banner!
Blake: You know, your girlfriend knows a lot of people.
Larry: Well, she knows a lot of people. And that show's finished now, so she got 'em for free.
(Y/N): Interesting.
Larry: By the way Nick, what happened with Edgey?
Phoenix: Well, we made it through the first day in court all right... I don't know how good our prospects are from here on, though.
Larry: Huh.
Ruby: I'll tell you one thing. Edgeworth is traumatized by earthquakes. When one happens, he freaks out, and cries too, quietly.
Larry: That's weird. He wasn't like that back in grade school.
(Y/N): So, what happened?
Larry: Beats me. He was only with us for one year, then he transferred.
(Y/N): Hmmm ... might have to been involved with DL-6.
Weiss: Larry, why wasn't the Steel Samurai float there yesterday?
Larry: Th-the compressor was busted. It broke, and it was sent for repairs.
Weiss: Interesting.
Later...
You guys were leaving, and soon, Ruby had some ideas.
Ruby: Hey! I thought of something!
(Y/N): Ruby, what are you-
Ruby: Hang on!
Ruby took off.
Ruby: TA DA!
She was holding-
Zwei: RUFF!
Maya: AWWWW! Who's he?
Weiss: Zwei!!!! AWWWW! Who's a good boy?
Blake: AGH!
Blake hid behind you.
Yang: Why bring Zwei?
Ruby: He can use his nose to track down Gourdy!
Phoenix: You're leaving it to a dog? Ruby, I don't think that would-
Ruby: Hey, you don't know unless you try! Okay boy! Sniff out Gourdy!
Zwei used his nose, but-
Zwei: RUFF!
He rushed for the Samurai Dog Stand, and started eating the food!
Larry: HEY! WHERE DID THIS DOG COME FROM?! NO! DON'T GO FOR THE SAMURAI DOGS!!!
Ruby: Uh ... oops.
Later...
You guys went to the Criminal Affairs Department of the Police Station, and-
(Y/N): Oh, hey, Kyoko! And Goro too.
Kyoko: Ah, (Y/N). Detective Gumshoe mentioned that you would come.
(Y/N): He did?
Goro: He wanted to give this.
He handed a metal detector.
(Y/N): A metal detector?
Kyoko: I don't know. He said it would help for searching for evidence. While it can detect metal, I told him that it would be unlikely in-
(Y/N): Thanks you two!
You patted Goro on the back and kissed Kyoko.
(Y/N): SEE YA!
Kyoko just blushed and smiled.
Kyoko: Glad to be of help.
And so...
(Y/N): Okay! We're going to use this!
You brought out the metal detector.
Phoenix: But we're looking for something live.
(Y/N): You never know!
Ruby: Yeah! Let's see!
Ruby began to use it, and soon, it reacted!
Ruby: I GOT SOMETHING!
Ruby found-
Weiss: Ruby, that's an air tank.
Yang: And with flags attached to it.
(Y/N) and Phoenix: WAIT! THEN-
You both rushed to Larry.
Girls: Huh? WAIT!
They began to follow.
(Y/N): Larry!
Larry: AGH! Y-Yeah?
(Y/N): Recognize this air tank?
Larry: Uh ... I NEVER SAW IT!
Phoenix: Look--see how there's a string of flags around the tank valve? It's just like the string of flags around your Steel Samurai there.
Larry: M-must be a coincidence! There's strings of flags everywhere these days! L-like elementary schools! A-and used car dealerships! L-look, why would I need a tank anyway!?
(Y/N): Larry don't play dumb. You used this to inflate the Steel Samurai float.
Larry: Well ... See, the compressor I always use was on the fritz. So I tried using the tank to inflate it, just once. And, er, it didn't go so well.
Phoenix: It "didn't go so well"?
Larry: Er, yeah.
Phoenix: Do you think you could be a little more specific?
Larry: C-c'mon... Look, it's embarrassing so I really don't want to talk about it...
(Y/N): Just tell us already! Okay?
Larry: Oh, alright. It's like what I said, the compressor was busted. So I took the tank and tried to fill the Samurai up with that. And then, the valve busted open and made this incredible noise! And that tank there took off like a rocket. And it took my poor deflated Steel Samurai with it!
(Y/N): Right into the lake. Wait ... then that would mean-
The girls arrived then!
Girls: What?
(Y/N): Thanks Larry! To Lotta!
At Lotta's campsite...
You all arrived at her.
Lotta: So, did you find anything?
(Y/N): Lotta, Gourdy doesn't exist.
Lotta: WHAT?! Do you have any proof?
Phoenix: This!
He brings out the air tank.
Lotta: An air tank?
Phoenix: This... is Gourdy.
Lotta: Umm... scuze me?
Maya: Wh-what exactly are you saying, Nick?
Phoenix: There's a stand near here... a hotdog stand. There's a giant inflatable samurai doll there. About a week ago, an idiot, who happens to be a friend of mine, tried to fill it. He used this air tank, and when the valve blew, the tank flew into the lake. Apparently, it made a pretty loud "bang" when it flew...
Lotta: A "bang"...?
(Y/N): Yeah. The tank, along with the still deflated Samurai fell into the lake. At the same time... A couple was taking a photograph of the lake. This photo!
Lotta: I don't believe it.
(Y/N): Sorry Lotta.
Lotta: Well, a promise is a promise. I overheard the cops around here saying something about the witness tomorrow... They said he's the caretaker of the boat rental place up the path here.
Ruby: Caretaker?
Lotta: Yeah, an old man who lives by himself. You should try talking to him.
(Y/N): HA! Thanks Lotta! Now let's-
Lotta: Wait! My camera clicked twice, you know.
Maya: HUH?! Wait... so you have another photo?
Lotta: Well... Yeah, but there's nothing in it at all. Just the lake. I figured it wouldn't be much use as evidence, so I kept it to myself. Well, it might not be helpful at all, but...
She hands over the other photo.
Phoenix: Thanks Lotta.
Lotta: Bye now. Y'all take care. Time for me to pack up and leave.
She heads off.
Ruby: I feel bad for Lotta. She missed her big scoop.
Blake: Yeah, I feel the same too. She almost had something there.
Phoenix: It's all Larry's fault. Guess the legend goes on.
(Y/N): Legend?
Yang: What's that Phoenix?
Phoenix: We had this old saying back in grade school, "When something smells, it's usually the Butz."
(Y/N): HA! I get it! His name is Larry Butz!
Yang: Hmm. Someone should whip that Butz into shape. HEYO!
Maya: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yang, you're hilarious!
(Y/N), Phoenix, Ruby, Weiss, and Blake: That joke stinks!
Maya: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yang: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S A GOOD ONE!
You all reach the boatshop, and go inside.
???: Huh? Meg is that you?
The old man mentioned by Lotta appeared.

Caretaker (The owner of boat shop! He has a pet parrot named Polly!)
Maya: Huh?
Caretaker: And you brought friends too.
https://youtu.be/dJjjhSPsSEU
Caretaker: And Keith too!
Phoenix: Huh?
Caretaker: You had your old man worried sick.
(Y/N): What's wrong with this guy?
Weiss: I think he has brain damage.
Maya: ... N-Nick... you handle this.
Phoenix: Uh, I think I'll leave this one up to you, Maya.
Caretaker: Meg!
Maya: Y-yes!?
Caretaker: Finally made up your mind, have you?
Meg: M-my mind?
Caretaker: You'll run the pasta shop when I'm gone?
Everyone: Pasta Shop?!
Caretaker: Glad to hear it, glad to hear it! You make your old man proud. When you kids left the house, I didn't know what to think. How'm I supposed to keep this place running, an old man like me? Polly! The kids are home!
Parrot: "Hello! Hello!" (squawk)
(Y/N): Wow, that's a pretty parrot!
Ruby: Hi there!
Caretaker: KEITH!
Phoenix: Y-Yes?
Caretaker: I leave the "Wet Noodle" in your capable hands, sonny.
Maya: What's the "Wet Noodle"?
(Y/N): I'd say that's the name of his pasta shop.
Yang: Kind of a funny name if you ask me.
Caretaker: That's a relief, isn't it, Polly?
Parrot: "Hello! Hello!" (squawk)
Caretaker: Ayup... .. ZZZZZZZZZZ.
He soon fell asleep with a big snot bubble coming out of his nose.
Weiss: Now he fell asleep.
(Y/N): This guy is a circus. Hey Phoenix, why don't you show him your badge?
Phoenix: Hey! Good idea! Sir?
(Y/N): HEY! WAKE UP!
Caretaker: HUH?! Oh, is that an Attorney's Badge?
Phoenix: Yeah, it is.
Weiss: Okay, how does he know what that is?
Ruby: Don't ask me.
Maya: Lucky guess?
Caretaker: This can only mean one thing. I got you figured out now! You're not Keith!
Weiss: IT TOOK YOU THAT LONG TO FIGURE OUT?! HE DOES HAVE BRAIN DAMAGE!
Phoenix: Umm... sir. No, I'm not Keith.
Maya: And I'm not Meg, either!
(Y/N): We're here investigating a murder that took place on this lake the other night.
Maya: Please, help us!
Caretaker: Okay! But on one condition.
Everyone: Yeah?
Caretaker: When this case is over and done... You'll run the "Wet Noodle"!
(Y/N): Sure.
Phoenix: We'll do it.
Weiss: WAIT! You're not going to agree with him, a-
Blake: Weiss, we have to get what we can if we're going to help Edgeworth.
Weiss: Good point. He must have seen something, brain damage or not.
Caretaker: That's my boy! Good for you, Keith.
Phoenix: W-wait, didn't I just say...
Caretaker: You, too, Meg!
Maya: Y-yes!?
Caretaker: Heh heh heh... you bring a tear to your old man's eye, you know. Now, what was that you wanted to know? Speak up, Polly!
Parrot: "Hello! Hello!" (squawk)
Maya: Er...
Ruby: (Y/N), you're right, this guy is a circus.
(Y/N): Well ... how do we make that parrot talk?
Caretaker: Oh, you have to know what to say to get Polly to talk. Polly! What's your name?
Parrot: "Pol-ly!" (squawk)
Maya: Hee hee! Cute!
Ruby: Hmmm ... hey Polly! What's the combination to that safe over there?
Parrot: "... 1228!" (squawk)
Ruby: WOW! That's neat!
Caretaker: H-hey! Polly! Watch it, will ya!
(Y/N): Ha! Nice! By the way, did you see this?
You showed Lotta's photo.
Caretaker: Ayup! Just the other night!
Maya: Whaaaat!? Tell us! Tell what you saw!
Caretaker: Well, I suppose. Since you're taking over the shop and all... I forget the time, but it was pretty dark outside... probably night, ayup. Then I heard this "bang!" So I looked outside. Then I heard another one. "Bang!" A little while later, this boat comes back. Then a young man walked by my window here. He was mutterin' something to himself, ayup. Hmm ... I'll remember in court tomorrow.
(Y/N): I see.
Ruby: Wait, I have another question. Hey Polly! Did we forget something?
Parrot: (squawk) "Don't forget DL-6!" (squawk)
Everyone: HUH?!
Yang: Did it just say-
Weiss: It said-
Maya: Polly, did we forget something?
Parrot: (squawk) "Don't forget DL-6!" (squawk)
(Y/N): HOW DOES THIS GUY KNOW ABOUT DL-6?!
Phoenix: HEY! MR.?!
He fell asleep.
(Y/N): Just who is this man?
Blake: Whoever he is, we know now something important.
Maya: What is it Blake?
Blake: We have to look up info on DL-6.
Soon...
You guys told Gumshoe everything.
Gumshoe: WHAT?! THE PARROT KNOWS DL-6?!
(Y/N): Yeah, I'm surprised that happened too.
Gumshoe: ... I get ya. Sounds like you need information on the DL-6 Incident. Through there is the Station's Records Room. I'll give you special permission to go in and find what you need.
Everyone: Thank you Detective.
You all headed into the records room and looked through the files.
(Y/N): It says here that DL-6 occurred on December 28, 15 years ago!
Yang: And in two days, it'll be the 15th anniversary.
(Y/N): It says that it took place in an elevator of the district court.
Maya: What!? Is this the same district court where we're holding the trial now!?
(Y/N): Looks like it. There was a large earthquake at 2:00 PM on that day. Part of the court building collapsed, and all of the lights went out. At the time, three people were trapped in the elevator. It took five hours for them to be rescued... Five hours!
Maya: That would be scary like that, in the dark!
(Y/N): There was a lack of oxygen, and the survivors were unconscious. One of the three inside died.
Ruby: That must be Edgeworth's Dad.
Phoenix: So, it looks like Edgeworth must have gotten his fear of earthquakes from then.
(Y/N): Here's the victim data. Gregory Edgeworth, 35, defense attorney. If he were still alive, he'd be 50. He had lost that day's case in court, and got in the elevator with his son, Miles. From the angle of the bullet and the other evidence, it could not have been a suicide... The murder weapon, a pistol, was found in the elevator. The pistol had been fired two times.
Weiss: What about the suspect data?
(Y/N): The man arrested as a suspect in DL-6 was... Yanni Yogi? He was a baliff in the court, apparently.
Phoenix: But he was found innocent because of Robert Hammond.
Maya: He's the victim in our case!
(Y/N): Yep. Yogi was oxygen deprived... so much so he had brain damage. He lost all memory of being in the elevator. After he was declared innocent, he then disappeared.
Blake: Makes you wonder what happened to him.
(Y/N): True. Let's take what we need. We can use this in court tomorrow.
Weiss: It's crazy. The victim, the suspect, they're both tied to DL-6.
(Y/N): Yeah. Miles Edgeworth, the son of the victim of DL-6, Gregory Edgeworth. And the victim of this case is Robert Hammond, the defense attorney of the suspect of DL-6, Yanni Yogi. Just what is going on here?
