Corpse in a Garden
Jones: Dennis Brown, you're under arrest for the murder of Ned Dillard.
Dennis (angrily): What?! You can't be serious. You've got nothing against me!
Jones: Oh come on! <Rank> <Name> found plenty of evidence against you! Like the tie clip you left on the scene, or the fact that you're missing a tooth! You tried to chop down your victim! When that failed, you decided to burn him up, but Dave Simmons got in the house and you fled the scene!
Dennis (sweating): I have no idea what you're talking about.
Jones: Save that for the judge, Dennis. You're under arrest!

The Grim Butcher

Trish: Dad, you're not going to let them arrest me, are you? Dad! DO something!!
Raoul: I... they have proof, sweetie. How... how could you do such a thing?
Trish: That bitch slept with my boyfriend!! And she kept flirting with you dad, I SAW her! What, I was supposed to let that fly?!
Jones (confused): Are you meaning to tell us you cut open this girl because you thought she was a flirt?!
Trish (raging): She was a TRAMP! I had to teach her to behave!
Jones: By cutting her up?!
Trish (devil horns): SHE HAD IT COMING!! I don't regret nothing, nothing! She bled like the pig she was!

The Dockyard Killer

Jones: The game is up, Bulldog! We know you killed Dan. WHY you killed him, however...
Bulldog: That punk had it coming! I TOLD him it'd get nasty if he didn't pay me the $2000 he owed me!

A Russian Case

Jones: We know you killed your father after discovering he had an affair with Eva, Mikhail. I guess it's not the kind of "competition" you expected from him, right?
Mikhail (raging): "White Bear" my a**! My father was a pig! It wasn't enough for him to disown me, he had to make Eva his b*tch!
Jones: All you've got to worry about now, is not be your prison mate's b*tch! You're under arrest. You have the right remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a Court of Law...

Good Cop Dead Cop

Harry: I knew you'd figure it out. I should have turned myself in that night, but... I guess I'm weaker than I thought. Look, I didn't mean for any of this to happen! But I couldn't just watch Ed ruin his career! He was such an inspiration! When I first confronted him, he acted sorry, said he would stop... but those were all lies, of course. So I decided to up the ante. I told him to meet me in Queen Street station. I said I had a USB key filled with proof of his scams, that I was going to report him. And he just laughed in my face! Laughed! Said he had connections, that nobody would listen to me! He punched me, we started fighting. And then... I'm not sure how it happened. One second, he was pointing his gun at me, and the next... I was the one holding it... And Ed was lying on the ground... dead.
Jones (sadly): ... <Name>, can you handle the arrest please? I don't have the heart to read him his rights.

Death by Crucifixion

Jones: The game is up, doctor! We've got your blood, your hair... We know you crucified Gordon Michelli on the construction site!
Dr. Bishop (innocently): You give me too much power. Gordon came to me for help. He wished to atone his sins. I only helped him do so.
Jones (confused): Atone for his sins? What the hell are you talking about?!
Dr. Bishop: Michelli's greed was so strong, he destroyed the town's oldest church to make more money! This is a Capital Sin!
Jones: Are you telling me Michelli ASKED you to kill him?!
Dr. Bishop: Who said anything about murder? Mr. Michelli lashed himself, as penance. I only helped him carry his cross.
Jones: If Michelli agreed on that little show, why did we find your business card torn to shreds?
Dr. Bishop (sweating): It was... merely a slip-up. He quickly came back to his senses.
Jones: You really are a nutcase, Dr. Bishop! You're under arrest. Anything you say can and will be held against you...

Beautiful No More

Alice: I was so sure you'd arrest that creep. You would have done us all a favor!
Jones: Colin may be a little intense, but as far as we know, he never bashed a woman's brains in with a hammer! Now come clean: why did you kill Trixie?
Alice: I didn't kill her! We just... had an argument! Look, she loved my letters... she'd smile and she'd read them over and over! She was in love with me, she just didn't know it was me! So I sent her a note, told her we'd meet behind that restaurant. I was so excited! But when she got there... she acted like she was shocked to see me! She asked me where her admirer was! How stupid could she be?! And then, when I gave her the necklace... she dropped it! Like it wasn't good enough for her! She said she thought the letters were from a man, she said she didn't like girls! She LAUGHED at me!! (angrily) And I got... I got so ANGRY, you know? How could she lie to me? How could she REJECT me?! (nervously) So I... I grabbed that hammer and I... I just... I was so angry...
Jones: ...Alice August, you're under arrest. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a Court of Law. You have a right to remain silent...

Burned to the Bone

Jones: Joe Stern, I'm placing you under arrest for the gruesome murder of Chad Whickman!
Joe: You want to arrest me for that?! Every day the Vipers come in here and destroy my shop. EVERY DAY! And then this low-life Viper comes in all smiles asking for a job! At first I was too shocked to do anything......But then my legs started moving again. Then my arms. And before I knew it, I had poured gasoline all over him. And then I flicked my cigarette at him and WOOSH! See, I finally stood up to that scum. I'm a HERO! I deserve a medal for bravery!

Under the Knife

Jones: Mr Oaster, you're under arrest for the murder of Alan Cardwell!
Paul (devilishly): Based on what, exactly? You've got nothing against me!
Jones: I bet you won't look so smug when we show the court the fingerprints we found on the murder weapon.
Paul: You lie! There weren't any prints on that candlestick.
Jones (grinning): Good job, you caught my bluff. But how did you know the murder weapon was a candlestick? Nobody but us knew that fact.
Paul (sweating): ...
Jones: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a Court of Law...

Into the Vipers' Nest

Jones: The game's up, Marconi! You're under arrest for the murder of Salvador Cordero!
Tony: I was wondering whether you'd manage to get me for this... but I guess I almost made it too easy for you.
Jones: I was thinking the same thing: how can a man who's been so careful so far suddenly make such a lousy mistake?
Tony: Salvador's the one who made a mistake, not me, Jones... I was going to pay that big-headed idiot a visit to remind him who's the true boss around here...... But when I got to his seedy garage, I caught him... hurting Ginger... Can you believe it?! That pig was trying to have his way with her!
Jones: You mean you killed him... to protect Ginger?!
Tony: You don't hit women. You just don't...
Jones: I'm glad you were there for Ginger, Tony, but you shouldn't have killed him. Offenders should be put behind bars, not six feet under ground.
Tony: Someone had to take that trash out... You know Jones, you and I, we're alike: we both do whatever it takes to protect our community.
Jones: You've got it all wrong, Marconi: you think you're above the law, and I'm here to remind you the law is above EVERYBODY!

Blood on the Trading Floor

Harry: Huh, what a surprise! You're actually not as dumb as you look.
Jones: Ah traders, ever so charming... You lot think you can get away with anything, don't you?
Harry: Because we ARE smarter than the rest, but I guess even we make mistakes. Like Sam did when he bragged about his deal with Alden Greene...So I got Sam high and took him for one last night out. To celebrate.
Jones: What I don't get is how come no one saw you at the casino?
Harry: They all saw my face, I just gave them the wrong name: Jack Ryan. I knew Jack would be too drunk to remember what he did that night.
Jones: I'll never get how some people can talk about committing such gruesome crimes with smiles on their faces...

Bomb Alert on Grimsborough

Jones: ... Ramirez, what do you mean, Byrd got away?!
Ramirez: I... I only looked away for a second, to get the keys to the cell, and... But he... he was singing a song about the park before he escaped. Maybe that's where he went?
Jones: You'd better be right, Ramirez! <Name>, let's go arrest that freak before he can kill again!!
Jones: BYRD, FREEZE! It's over! You're under arrest for murder and terrorism attempt!
Donald: I get to say when it's over! I'd rather die than going back in that nuthouse, and I'll take you all with me!
Shaun: Not if I kill you first, you son of a b*tch!
Donald: Aw that's cute! But you won't have the balls to do it, just like your father!
Jones: SHAUN, get out of here! He's not worth it!
Donald: See you in hell, b*tches!!
Jones: EVERYBODY DOWN!
KABOOM!
Fashion Victim
Odell: Finally! I thought you guys would never put two and two together.
Jones: Are you telling us you were WAITING to be arrested?
Odell: Of course. It's not like I didn't help you, too! Now people are finally going to know my name! No one's going to ignore me anymore!
Jones: The judge certainly won't! Odell Toole, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent...
Odell: I've been waiting so long to hear this sentence! You have no idea how happy you're making me, <Rank>!
Family Blood
Jones: The game is up, Scott! We have proof that you killed your step-mother with a baseball bat. But the question is: why?
Scott: To protect Oliver, and my dad, and my family! Aileen was trash! My grandfather always said so! I SAW her hiding money in Oliver's toychest, I KNEW she was stealing! She was stealing OUR money to give it to that horrible guy! She even stole my baseball card, the one grandfather gave to me! And when I asked for it back, she TORE IT UP!!
Paul: Scott! Stop talking this instant! <Rank> <Name>, my son will not speak another word until he has a lawyer, as is his right!
Jones: Suit yourselves. Scott Greene, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Everything you say...
The Kiss of Death
Jones: Your life ends here, Roger! You're under arrest for the murder of Emma Ternon.
Roger (shocked): I didn't have a choice! I was about to lose my practice because of her! Emma stupidly told me about her work as an informant for Rachel and how dangerous it was. I thought if I made the murder look like it was tied to that, you'd never suspect me... It seems I underestimated you, <Rank> <Name>.
Jones (smirking): Yeah, well, you're not the first one to have made that mistake.
The Last Supper
Jones: Valentine Montgomery, you are under arrest for the poisoning of Daisy Thompson!
Valentine (shocked): I did not intend to poison this woman, I don't even know her! There must be a mistake!
Jones: Who DID you intend to poison, then, Mrs Montgomery? Who was Daisy's plate for? Wait! ... <Rank> <Name>, you're right, of course! You aimed to poison Tobias Sharp, didn't you, Mrs Montgomery?!
Valentine (shouting): Yes, I did! Tobias Sharp's been ruining my life for too long! He deserved to have a taste of his own medicine! I only wish that stupid waiter hadn't mixed the orders up!
In the Dead of Night
Jones: End of the road, kid. We know you killed Freddy. Just... Explain to us what happened, Julian. We need to understand.
Julian (sobbing): It was an accident! Just an accident! I never wanted to kill Freddy! We robbed the Greene mansion together. I was... I was scared, but I followed. I could never say no to Freddy. He was fascinated with that crossbow, he wanted it as a trophy, the proof that even Alden Greene could do nothing against him. Once we had run off to the park, he put it in my hands, he was laughing and everything! But it was older and rustier than we thought... The arrow went off on its own... I never wanted to hurt him! It's an accident!
Jones: God. What a... What a mess. It's just sad.
Innocence Lost
Irina: You're right, <Rank> <Name>, I was the one who "killed" Gail. If you can really call it murder, I mean, the girl was already half dead!
Jones: She might have lived if you had taken her to a hospital! Who were you to decide she didn't need help?
Irina: That's not what happened at all! Derek had already left when I noticed Gail wasn't waking up. I was high, drunk, tired and I guess I panicked. I thought she was dead! I knew about the construction site, and I thought... I just didn't want the body to be found. Derek and I have so hard to build his company! I couldn't let Gail's stupidity jeopardize everything!
Jones: So you killed Gail Harding to... protect your company?
Irina: I only did what I felt needed to be done, to make sure Derek didn't have to worry about anything!
Jones: But Gail struggled, didn't she? You knew she was still alive then!
Irina: She... convulsed yes. It didn't mean anything about her chances of survival. There was no room for hesitation, and I couldn't turn back. I fled the scene quickly.
Jones: <Rank> <Name> is going to cuff you and take you in. You have the right to remain silent.
A Deadly Game
Jones: Tyler wasn't in his loft, he must be in here! But I can't see anything! <Name>, could you turn the lights on, please?
Tyler: BOO!
Jones: HAAAAA!!!!! He scared me half to death!! Quick, <Name>, put the cuffs on him! Mr. McAlister, you're under arrest for the torture and murder of Steve Wood!
Tyler: You took your time to get me, <Rank> <Name>! But both the murder and our little game were as thrilling as I expected it! It was brilliant to choose a tramp that nobody will look for, wasn't it? I just had to make him believe that I would help him. So easy.
Jones: You're... you're nuts! ... what did you do with the liver?
Tyler: Haha, so you did not guess... There is nothing like human liver to enhance the taste of caviar...
Jones: Oh dear god! This maniac ATE it! Please <Name>, just take him away!
The Secret Experiments
Jones: Alden Greene, you are under arrest for the brutal murder of Rachel Priest. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you.
Alden: I'm impressed, <Rank> <Name>, you'll go far in this city... but you could go even further if we worked together.
Jones: Don't try that trick with us, Alden! Unlike some people in this city, <Rank> <Name> has moral values!
Alden: The game is truly up, eh? Well, <Rank> <Name>, as you were skilled enough to catch me, let me tell you the details of how it all happened...
A couple of days ago...
Alden: As you correctly guessed Rachel, Greene PharmaCorp is on the point of signing a billion dollar contract with the army. This is my chance to not only rule the Financial Centre, but whole city... and you wanted to take that away from me? Sadly, Rachel, there's simply no place for people like you in this city: truth and honesty don't make money.
James: Hurry up and kill her, Alden. Shut this blasted reporter up once and for all!
Alden: Well Rachel, since you've been so interested in our little serum... how about you experience it first hand?
Rachel: Go ahead and kill me! But one day the world will see you for the monster you truly are, Alden!

To Die or Not to Die

Jones: Your run is over, Phineas! The only thing you'll be directing now is the prison's theater club!
Phineas: Can't you understand? Jacob was ruining the play! No one can ruin my play without paying the price! He wouldn't leave! He just wouldn't leave! I tried firing him a dozen times, but Jacob's contract was irontight! He was so bad, so dreadful, every tone wrong, every gesture misplaced, I can't understand how anyone could have hired that man before! He had to be replaced or the theater company would be bankrupt before the end of the month. Look how right I was! The performance was sold out!
Jones: This is madness!
Phineas: This is THEATER!
The Final Journey
Jones: Lily Robinson, you're under arrest for the murder of Daniel Taylor. I don't get it. He was your boyfriend, and you were obviously very much in love. What could have pushed you to do this? Was he unfaithful?
Lily: In a way. He loved adventure more than he ever loved me or this town, that's for sure...
The previous day...
Daniel: Come on, Lily! Aren't you sick of this town, of those people?! They all smile at you, but behind doors... they let their venom flow!
Lily: Will you never get it?! We BELONG here! This is our HOME! It's up to us to nurture it and make it beautiful.
Daniel: You can't grow roots in barren world, Lily. I need more than this! Don't you want to explore the world?
Lily: Grimsborough is all the world I need. And it would be enough for you if only you tried to see things as I do.
Daniel: You just don't get it, do you? This town will KILL you! It'll suffocate you until you can't even remember how to dream! Lily... I'm going to Australia. With... or without you. Please, come with me.
Jones: But why kill him?! Why didn't you just let him be?
Lily: Daniel and I were soulmates! How COULD he decide to leave without me?! How could I let him go?! He wanted to travel, well... I helped him go on the last journey. The ultimate one.
Anatomy of a Murder
Jones: Cornelia Trent, we're placing you under arrest for the murder of Wilfred Turnscrew!
Cornelia: What?! But that's impossible, why would you even think that?
Jones: Impossible? That's what I thought at first, until I heard <Rank> <Name>'s brilliant deduction. Here, I'll repeat it for you. See, at first I was convinced that James had brutally murdered Wilfred Turnscrew. He had a strong motive, and people here are afraid of him. Furthermore, the autopsy showed that Wilfred was taxidermied while unconscious, and James admitted to beating Wilfred into unconsciousness. So it all pointed to him... But that's when <Name> put it all together and realized that you must have witnessed the whole event, and when James left, took the opportunity to kill Wilfred! All the evidence leads to that conclusion, Cornelia... the question is WHY you did it, but we'll let you keep that story for the judge.
Cornelia: No, you're wrong! You're lying! You can't do this!
The Ghost of Grimsborough
Jones: Patrick Rufio, you're under arrest for the murder of Mr. Wilhelm Moss.
Patrick: Oh. I really thought for a moment I would manage to fool you, <Rank> <Name>! But I guess I had underestimated my opponent.
Jones: You really thought we would believe the Mad Pilgrim had killed Moss? Really?
Patrick: Well, at least one of your officers seemed to be catching the bait... I even went by your office once and screamed as loud as I could, just to make you nervous. Oh, how I laughed! You have to admit it was quite ingenious. I got Moss to believe in the curse, too! I sent him that book, and then those letters... he kept telling me the Pilgrim would whisper things to him when he worked! If it hadn't been for you, <Rank> <Name>, my plan would have been flawless. See, once, Wilhelm Moss has been killed by the Mad Pilgrim, that painting would have reached a fortune on the market! I could have past the copy for an original, claimed to have found it after extensive research. Do you know how much some people are ready to pay for an authentic painting of this man?!
Jones: So you killed Mr Moss... to make a profit?!
Patrick: To save myself from ruin! I've kept the house to save appearances, but most of the furniture was sold long ago. Selling that painting was the only way I could have gotten back on my feet!
Jones: You don't have a shred of regret, do you?
Patrick: None at all. The end justifies the means, I've always said. Send me to prison, do whatever you want, <Rank> <Name>. It doesn't matter to me either way.
The Summoning
Jones: It's over, Ophelia. We have the definitive proof that you killed Simon Armstrong!
Ophelia: No! That's not possible! I never wanted to do this, I never meant to! I went to help Simon at the crypt, yes, but he was alive! And then, and then, I blacked out, I had a horrible nightmare, a demon was trying to kill me... The next thing I remember, I'm at the cemetery, there was blood on my hands, I didn't know what to do! How could I do something like that?! I remember Steven saying that I seemed almost obsessed with that damned rituals during my blackouts, but I thought he was just joking! I would never do something like that, it wasn't me! It wasn't me...
The Lake's Bride
Jones: Alexander Vladinsky, you're under arrest for the kidnapping and murder of Mary Gray.
Alexander: I cannot believe you saw through my ruse, <Rank> <Name>! I had spent a lot of time creating that Creature costume, I thought it would fool anyone. I just wish I hadn't lost Mary's medal in the grass. I planned on keeping it, a little souvenir, you see.
Jones: I don't get it. You kept saying you loved Mary! You sent her all those romantic letters! Why did you kill her then?!
Alexander: Love, passion, murder... those are all so similar, aren't they? Murder... Murder can be the greatest form of desire.
Jones: That's... I don't even know what to reply to that. And what about the costume? If it was a crime of passion, why did you disguise yourself, uh?!
Alexander: But for the romance, of course! Can you picture it? Mary, alone, waiting for me in her white dress... The Creature, creeping up behind her, kidnapping her to take her to it's underwater lair! Can you imagine anything more romantic? I am sure Mary would have approved!
Jones: You... <Rank> <Name>, can you put the cuffs on this madman before I lose it?
The Haunting of Elm Manor
Jones: Gloria Fernandez, you're hereby under arrest for the brutal murder of Hector Fernandez!
Gloria: Fine, take me away. But don't look at me like I'm crazy: I'm proud of what I did, that liar had it coming! When Aurelio died, Hector convinced everyone that it was the house that killed my baby boy... I foolishly believed him too. Until recently, when in a drunken stupor, Hector admitted that he wasn't watching our child that night like he was meant too... My baby was always such a little explorer: he just loved discovering the world. But that night, he was crawling around unsupervised... and he slipped and fell from the top landing onto the stairs. Hector couldn't remember telling the truth and so I decided to make his lie become real: I gave him a drug that made him believe the house really was haunted. The fool called in an exorcist but that just helped me: the more people believed the house was haunted, the less they would suspect a murder. And so when the time was right, I killed him. Now do what you want with me, but I did what any mother would have done!
No Smoke Without Fire
Jones: It's over, Isaac. We have ample proof that you killed Connor Sullivan.
Isaac: Sometimes bad people need to be put down. Because sometimes what they do is wrong, someone needs to step up.
Jones: Why didn't you just call the police? You cannot take justice upon your own hands! No matter what Connor did, he didn-
Isaac: Didn't deserve to die? He was drunk and dangerous. He'd have beaten the kids if it wasn't for me! And he had lit up a fire in a No Fire zone, despite warnings from Mr Savage! I was trying to put the fire out with a branch when Mr Sullivan lunged at me. I didn't even think: I hit him with a branch, but he tried to grab me at the throat! I had found Mr Savage's knife it the forest a day before and hadn't yet returned it. When Mr Sullivan lunged at me again I... I just struck it out. I just wanted him to let go of me! But then... then all the anger I felt just... came out. And I struck again. And again.
Jones: And yet you tried to revive him, didn't you?
Isaac: Yes. When I realized what I'd done... But it was too late. Too late.
Jones: What about the bonfire. Why did you do that? Did you want to set an example?!
Isaac: No, of course not! I would have preferred the kids not to see that! I was scared, I tried to make the body disappear by burning it. I returned the hunter's knife to his shack, so that you'd start by suspecting him. Then it started to rain. When I came back, the rain had put out the fire, the kids were awake, staring at the body...
The Wollcrafts' Creature
Jones: I must admit Percy, of all the people involved in this case, you're not the one I suspected the most! Why the hell did you kill Claire?!
Percy: I didn't mean to! I mean, I got carried away, the whole situation was a mess! I came back to the house because I had forgotten my lunch, and she was there...
The Previous Day...
Percy: Claire?! What are you doing here? What are you doing, are you taking pictures of my dad's lab?
Claire: I'm doing what I should have done weeks ago! I'm gonna expose all this madness to the police! Your family is crazy, and you're all going down!
Percy: What are you talking about, baby? We're gonna bring my family to reason, and there'll be no more experiments, isn't that what you want?
Claire: It's not just your dad. Your mom helps him, hell, I'm pretty sure it was her idea in the first place! And the bones that are missing from the museum, Percy, where are they? Tell me!
Percy: Claire, please, calm down! You don't want to hurt us, do you? We just have to reason with my dad, you don't want to hurt us!
Claire: I'm gonna tell everyone what sick, mad people you all are. They're gonna stop you, and they're gonna destroy you. Because that's all you deserve! You can't stop me!
Percy: No, Claire, you won't! I can't let you do that!
Percy: So, I stopped her. I knocked her out, pulled her on the table and put the power on. She didn't deserve to die, but I couldn't let her leave. I just couldn't. But then, I couldn't take her off the machine, so I took everything I could, her camera and Elphaba, and I dumped them in the cemetery. I didn't want my parents to be in even more trouble. If it were not for that damned blackout, you would never have known!
Dog Eat Dog
Ramirez: I can't believe it's you, Mrs Littlewood! At your age!
Margaret: Why? Do you think I lost my wits along with my youth? When I realized that Molly's bastard was going to win the competition, I knew what I had to do. I never intended to kill her, you know. But I should have known that fat loaf could not resist eating the cupcake I'd given to her dog!
Ramirez: But why?! It's only a Pageant! Why try to kill a dog over such a thing?!
Margaret: Why? I'll tell you why! You try growing old on your own, with grandchildren who never come to visit you, and nothing to do all day but wait for night to come! This Dog Pageant is the one moment in the year when I can shine! If I won, then there'd be no more "Dear old Margaret, with her dog and her cookies". They would have respected me!
Ramirez: You thought killing a member of the Police Forces would give you people's respect?! How COULD you, you know how much Jones appreciated you!!
Margaret: I panicked! <Rank> <Name>, you were getting closer to discovering the truth! I hoped that with Jones gone, you would be too consumed by grief and worry to finish this investigation!
Ramirez: Ha, even I wouldn't have made such a mistake! <Rank> <Name> never falters, Mrs Littlewood!
Margaret: So I see...

Murder on Campus

Jones: Misha Goshwalla, you're under arrest for the murder of your younger sister, Rani Goshwalla!
Misha: It wasn't a murder! It was an accident! When I heard she was dead this morning, I thought it was just a bad dream!
Jones: An accident? You tied her up and tortured her!!
Misha: I didn't mean to!! It all started because of Madison! She phoned me up last night after Psi Sigma Gamma organized their hazing initiation! Of course Rani passed all their tests with flying colors and Madison couldn't shut up about how Rani was soooo much cooler than me! How could I NOT be mad?! Ever since we were kids, Rani has always strived to be better, prettier and more popular than me. She lives to make me miserable! I decided to tell her how I really felt. As my sister, I hoped she would understand. But when I saw her in her bikini, covering in writing, she looked so ridiculous... and that gave me an idea: if I humiliated Rani in front of the whole college, maybe it would ruin her reputation for ever! I told Rani that there were more hazing rituals coming up and that she needed to practice drinking. I kept giving her more and more to drink... until she finally refused. She was already quite drunk, so I easily managed to tie her up. And then I forced her to keep drinking until she passed out.
Jones: And after admitting all this, you still want us to believe it was an accident?!
Misha: It WAS! I swear to you I didn't want to kill her! I just wanted people to find her like that in the morning... If I had realized there was an ant hill next to her, I would have never left her there! Oh my god, what kind of monster am I to have killed my own sister?!

Killing Me Softly

Jones: Mary Lou Hong, you are under arrest for the poisoning and brutal murder of Olly Oliver.
Mary: But, but... I was Olly's most faithful follower! How could you even suspect me?!? I, I...
Jones: Cut the crap, you arch-evil groupie. And to think we almost fell for your crocodile tears! Why pretend you adored Olly if all you wanted was to destroy him?
Mary: Destroy HIM? He destroyed ME! He only got a small taste of the pain he caused me with his superficial promises! Whereas I, I... had given him everything! I offered him all my compositions in return for a future on stage together. But when I revealed myself as the mystery composer whose music he loved so much... He cruelly rejected me! He sniggered disdainfully and said there was no place in the music business for an unhip troll like me. Then I had to watch as he went on stage and claimed my best work as his own! I can get over being mocked for the way I look, but when I saw he intended to launch his solo career on the back of my blood, sweat and tears...
Jones: Save the gory finale for the judge, Mary Lou. I don't think <Rank> <Name> or I need to be reminded of the horrific scene that followed!
Dead Man Running
Jones: Coach Caldwell? I can't believe you were the one that killed Troy Takiguchi. Why would you ever do such a thing?!
Franklin: Who do you take me for? I never meant for him to die!! I just... I wanted to give him a boost before the game, that's all! Look, I knew there were going to be Talent Scouts from the major league that day. Troy's raw strength was admirable, but his endurance could have been better. I just wanted to make sure he would shine!
Jones: So you added EPO to his insulin syringe, but you messed up the dosage.
Franklin: God help me, I did. I did! We were so close. But I missed my last shot at giving the Quails national fame.
Jones: A man is dead and all you still think about is football?! How did you even manage to tamper with Troy's syringe? How could he not know what you had done?!
Franklin: Troy kept his insulin kit in the infirmary. I just waited for Nurse Breen to go out for lunch and I sneaked inside. I had never used EPO. I didn't think mixing it up with insulin would be a problem... I had no idea it would kill him!
Jones: Wait, but you did this BEFORE the match... Why did you break into the infirmary a second time, AFTER the murder?! What did you intend to do?
Franklin: Once <Rank> <Name> started getting close to the truth, I went back there to hide the bottle of EPO into Karimah's supplies! The woman had supplied illegal drugs to students before! I thought if you found the bottle there, she'd be the obvious culprit!
Jones: So not only did you kill a student you were in charge of, but you tried to frame another faculty member for the murder... <Rank> <Name>, I don't know about you, but I've heard enough. Franklin Caldwell, you're under arrest! Anything you say can and will...
At the End of the Rope
Jones: How could you kill your best friend, Penelope? Wasn't bullying her online enough for you? Why did you want to see her destroyed so badly?
Penelope: You understand nothing. Nothing! I never meant to harm Lisa! I told you: she was all I had! I only wanted her to be scared so that I could comfort her!
Jones: Except it didn't work, did it?
Penelope: ... No. She didn't even talk about the messages with me. She just... shut down. She spent all her time by herself, or with that freak! I went to see that Tess, you know. She denied it, but I'm sure she was putting ideas into Lisa's head, turning her against me! That's exactly what I'd been wanting to avoid! Anyway. When Lisa finally asked me to come to the library, I was thrilled! I thought we would turn a new leaf, get closer than ever! But instead... Someone told her that I was the one harassing her online, and she was furious with me! She said she hated me! She kept shouting that I was a monster, a controlling freak, that I would end up alone and bitter and I just wanted her to SHUT UP, you know? Next thing I knew, she was on the floor, unconscious. I think I must have pushed her. And then I saw the rope under a desk. I don't know how it got there, but suddenly I knew what I had to do.
Jones: What you HAD to do?!
Penelope: Yes. It was like... like everything suddenly clicked together and showed me the solution, you know? Like in those movies. Lisa's Friend status, that movie we watched in class... When I searched Lisa's bag to find some paper, there was a book about death. When I saw the chapter about Hanging, it almost felt like a sign. I'm sure... I'm sure Lisa's better now, anyway, wherever she is. I'm the one left stuck here, after all.
Jones: ... Penelope Rivera, you are under arrest for the murder of Lisa Edwards. Whatever you say can and will be held against you. You may...
The Devil's Playground
Jones: Ezekiel Hersberger, you're under arrest for the murder of Tom Blackwater!
Ezekiel: Parade me in front of your judge but it shall all be in vain: only the Lord can truly judge me for my sins!
Jones: This isn't just a "sin", Ezekiel, it's a gruesome crime! And I thought the Amish weren't ever allowed to take a human life?!
Ezekiel: They aren't. But every day more of you English people try to take over our land and corrupt my people with your evil ways. As not only a father to my children, but to the whole community, I had to stand up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Jones: So you killed an innocent boy?!
Ezekiel: Do you know what we Amish call your outside world? We call it the Devil's Playground! See, none of you are innocent... And especially not Tom! When he realized he coudn't buy our land, he decided to steal my sweet Hannah away from me.
Jones: You knew about Tom and Hannah?!
Ezekiel: The day he died is the day he boasted about him and Hannah being madly in love. He knew my weakness and made it grow into a monster! I tried to stay calm, to ask Gott for guidance... but before I knew it I was chasing him down on horseback with a pitchfork in my hand... Why can't you people just leave us in peace? Why do you always feel the need to come and destroy everything that is good?! That is what I asked myself as I turned Tom into a scarecrow. I did it as a warning to all you crows, you scavengers, to stay away from our land!
The Reaper and the Geek
Alex: Peri?! How could you kill Joe Turner? What happened, it's not like you, you could never do that!
Peri: It was an accident! Oh God, it's an accident! I was going to surrender after the Festival, just to make sure it was a success. I never wanted to kill him! I just wanted the Festival to go on without a scratch, so I asked Joe for a meeting, to ask him to behave, just this once! But he laughed at my face! I slapped him, I wanted him to shut up! But then, we wrestled, he nearly pushed me over the rail, my head was touching the poster, I managed to turn him around, but I was so scared! When I pushed him over, I was panicked and ran away, I knocked his precious figurine, I just wanted to escape! But when I saw what happened... I just didn't think about it. His dice bag fell out of his pocket, so I took it and hid it away. I even cut myself when I picked it up, one of the dice must have been broken... I never wanted to kill him, Alex, you have to believe me! Please, <Rank> <Name>, I was just defending myself! Joe brought it upon himself!
Spring Break Massacre
Jones: Taylor Kirby, you're under arrest for the senseless murder of Aaliyah Banks. What in the world were you thinking?!
Taylor: No! You can't lock me up! I did it for the lake! The only time they listen is when people DIE! What other choice DID I have?! The lake... the lake is getting more polluted everyday. Soon people won't be able to fish there anymore. I knew I had to do something to wake people up!
Jones: So you decided to release the deadliest kind of fish there is into the lake?!
Taylor: I thought if students got hurt, they wouldn't dare party around the lake anymore. Sure, the piranhas would harm the local fauna, but surely the authorities would catch them in time! I'd seen those piranhas in the Biology amphitheater before. I knew they were ferocious, the most ferocious kind there is. I went there before class, when there was nobody around. I picked them up with the fish scooper and I put them in a cooler. I was so afraid they'd die during the trip!
Jones: But you didn't just want students to get hurt, did you? You wanted to set an example!
Taylor: It was all Aaliyah's fault! She shouldn't have been so... so... She should have cared more! I used to think she was like me! But she only cared about her reputation! Once she realized doing protests wouldn't get her elected as Prom Queen, she stopped helping me! I called her over at the lake, to test her, to see if she would rally my cause. But when I saw the way she gaped, when she saw the piranhas, I knew she would only scream for help. So I... I did what I had to do.
Jones: You knocked her out, you cut her to draw blood, and you fed her to those fish!! How COULD you?!
Taylor: It was the only thing I could have done! And it worked! Now the students won't be allowed to party at the lake anymore! It'll be protected! I won!
Marked for Death
Jones: Bryan Vigman! I must admit you had my sympathy, until <Rank> <Name> figured out who you really were!
Bryan: What do you mean by that? Is this some kind of joke?
Jones: You were to be a fine policeman, Vigman. So, tell me. Why did you fall off the merry-go-round?
Bryan: Oh, what's the point... I was out fixing my bike when I heard some student say that Tyler Wright was going to share the term quizzes on Friendnet. I found this swine in the gymnasium and dragged him into the Dean's Office, but she wasn't there! That's when he started grinning, pretending his parents would have me fired! It made my blood boil: I just can't stand cheaters. So I grabbed a paper knife and ripped the little demon to shreds! He wasn't laughing anymore, oh no! How can you conceive a decent society when students start cheating and putting themselves above the law? Someone had to set an example!
Jones: You seriously believe cheating is punishable by DEATH?! You really ought to think it over when you're in prison!
An Elementary Murder
Jones: Mrs. Honeycomb, you are under arrest for the brutal murder of Irina Nemovska.
Jenny: Oh, good heavens! I knew it was only a matter of time before you caught me. Arrest me if you will, but please don't tell anyone my secret!!
Jones: Secret? Oh, you mean your relationship with Irina?
Jenny: Shhh! Someone might hear! I can take anything but the shame of anyone finding out about that! And I have the school's reputation to think of!
Jones: Mrs. Honeycomb... you can't possibly think being a lesbian is more shameful than murdering someone!
Jenny: Well, in my social circle it is... that's the way I was raised. I always knew I was attracted to women but I could never admit it to myself until I met Irina... Oh, Irina! My sweet love, what have I done?!?!?
Jones: Mrs. Honeycomb, if you truly loved Irina, do her the honor of standing her a just trial for her murder. She deserves your honesty after what you did to her.
Jenny: Boohoohoohoo! Yes, you are right... I do owe it to Irina. Oh, if only I had the courage to love her when she was alive!
The Rorschach Reaper
Tess: Ah, here we are at last, <Rank> <Name>. Did you like my little game? I sure enjoyed it!
Jones: So you're our killer, Tess. Or should we call you the Rorschach Reaper?
Tess: Unimaginative name, but what can I do? No one asked for my opinion. I must say, you've taken your time to catch me. You can even say I made you a favor. Had I not decided to kill Madison myself, you would have never known.
Jones: So why did you do it, Tess? Why kill all those people? Why influence other girls to do your dirty work? Why reveal yourself now?
Tess: I guess, in the end, everything boils down to one simple reason. What's the point of being brilliant if no one knows about it? But you wouldn't know about being brilliant, would you, Officer Jones? <Rank> <Name>'s dog, always following, always praising, always failing... It's unbearable, isn't it? Living in <Rank> <Name>'s shadow, being endlessly scolded for failing to meet their standards... So much frustration, Officer Jones... It has to stop, hasn't it? It can't go on forever, it has to stop now. Now and forever. And there's only one thing to do. The right thing.
Jones: The right... thing... to do...
Jones: Aaaaaargh...
Ramirez: Sorry, sorry! I had no other choice, <Rank> <Name>, Jones really looked like he was going to kill you!
Tess: WHAT DID YOU DO?! You ruined everything! <Rank> <Name>'s death was going to be my masterpiece! YOU DESTROYED MY WORK!
Ramirez: What is she talking about? Yes, you're right <Rank> <Name>, better put her away before she tries to hurt anybody again!
Jones: The right... thing...
    Maple Heights 
Blood and Glory
Jones (Disguised as Jerry Bigwall): Did you really think it would be that easy, Mitchell?!
Mitchell: You?! But that's impossible! I killed you! I KILLED YOU!!!
Jones (Disguised as Jerry Bigwall): Mitchell, it is time for you stand trial for your crime!
Mitchell: Don't do anything stupid now, Jerry... I mean, you had it coming: you tricked me! You got me so drunk that night at the club that I spilt all my secrets! And not only had I told you EVERYTHING, that my family was broke and if word got out I would be ruined... but you also recorded it!
Jones (Disguised as Jerry Bigwall): Then why did you give me the truth serum?
Mitchell: I had to find out where you hid your safe, didn't I? And see Jerry, using your face to access the safe and destroy the recording sadly wasn't enough: you could still have told people! But how did you even know it was me who killed you? There were so many people at that party when I slipped those blades in your cake!
Jones (Revealing Himself): We knew you were the killer thanks to <Rank> <Name>'s brilliant investigating. And thank you Mitchell, all that was quite entertaining. And honestly, it sounds you don't even need to be drunk for you to spill all your secrets. Ah, <Rank> <Name>, I see you've got the handcuffs ready.
Troubled Waters
Jones: ...Miss Fairchild?! But, this doesn't make any sense! <Rank> <Name>, are you SURE you made the right deductions?!
Isabella: Of course they did. <Rank> <Name>, I shall not put up a fight. Yes, I killed Andrew Ashworth. I kept bumping into Andrew at charities. He made fun of me for being so demure, but he kept flirting with me all the same. I didn't like his manners, but he was intriguing, and I gave in. And... he made me discover a world I'd have never suspected existed!
Jones: You mean... You're talking about...
Isabella: Jezabela's Dungeon, yes. The first time he took me there... I think he was certain I was going to run away screaming, but I loved it! All my life, I'd been treated like a doll, and finally, someone was touching me without acting as if I was going to break! It was... exhilarating! But he started trying to control me outside of the Dungeon. Can you believe that idiot wanted to dictate what I should and should not eat?! I stopped seeing him. But he kept sending gifts to me, phoning me... I knew he'd never stop, so I agreed to meet with him again. We stopped by his Grandfather's house to steal some mead. Andrew loved to lick it off m-
Jones: I think we're getting the picture, thank you! And that's when you got stung, isn't it?
Isabella: Yes. Then we went to that stupid yacht he was obsessed with! He wanted to tie me up, but I told him we should have a dip in the cold water first, to heighten our senses. The fool jumped in headfirst without even taking his clothes off! I told him I'd strip for him, started undoing my dress...
Jones: And then?
Isabella: Why, then I rushed to the cabin and started the engines! He laughed, he thought I was trying to get in control for once! You know, right until the moment I drove over him and heard the rotors slash into his flesh, he still believed it was a game...
Jones: ... M... Miss Fairchild, you are under arrest for the murder of Andrew Ashworth. Everything you say can and will be held against you...
The Scent of Death
Jones: Mrs. Peggy Buxton, you are under arrest for the murder of your son, Hank Buxton, CEO of Buxton's Britches LTD.
Peggy: Oh, dammit! I was hoping you'd just pin it on Kerry Ann! God knows she would have tried to kill Hank herself if she weren't so tweaked out all the time! Pathetic excuse of a...
Jones: Now, Mrs. Buxton... This is hardly the time for name calling. And you'll have bigger things to worry about now that you're on trial for murder!
Peggy: Oh well, I shan't worry about that too much. I have the best lawyers in the country, young man.
Jones: I wouldn't be sure of yourself, Mrs. Buxton... <Rank> <Name> has some pretty damning evidence! Now, if you don't mind, <Rank> <Name> needs to handcuff you.
A Shot of Beauty
Jones: Stop right there, Mr. Norris! <Rank> <Name> uncovered the truth, we know you're the one who killed Kerry Ann Buxton!
Tom: You know what? Actually, I'm glad you caught me. Arrest me, <Rank> <Name>. I'm such a coward I didn't have the guts to turn myself in.
Jones: Now, that's something else! Could you at least explain why you even killed your girlfriend in the first place?
Tom: While I was relaxing at the Halifax Hotel, I heard that Kerry Ann had just posed naked for Dwayne Vermont in some luxury cab depot. I only found Vermont's flash drive when I got there, and that's when I saw those disgusting, immoral, loathsome pictures! I just sat there crying, in disbelief and shock. I knew Kerry Ann was capable of many shady antics, but I never thought she would cross that line! And since she never listened to me, I decided to show her that even with all the collagen in the world... she'd never be young and pretty again. So, I got to her place and found her there, more delusional than ever, babbling about how hot she was and how she had fueled the Mayor's campaign strategy by making him love her. I was so in pain, I literally swatted her like an annoying bug! Oh, she tried to defend herself, she almost scalped me! When I ran out of collagen, I kicked her into the pool and watched her die!
Jones: You're right, <Rank> <Name>, we've already heard enough. Mr. Norris, you're under arrest! I hope you'll enjoy growing older behind bars!
Drive, Swing, Die
Jones: So you're Tony Webb's killer, Harold? Was living under his shadow getting too hard for you?
Harold: I'm a great golfer! I should have my due, I should have my hour of glory, it's my time!! But Tony wasn't human, what could I do against that?
Jones: Apparently, Tony's reputation was hanging by a thread. His womanizing ways were about to be exposed, shouldn't that have been enough to put you in the spotlight?
Harold: You think I would just become number one and that's it? NO! He would have come back! Give it a couple of months, everything would have been forgotten and he would have come back on top! I wouldn't have been able to handle it! To finally be the best only to have that title stolen away from me? It would have destroyed me!
Jones: For God's sake, Harold, it's just golf! It's just some sport, not a matter of life and death!
Harold: Maybe for you! But I knew the only way to become number one was to kill him. So, I invited him for a little game at the golf course, we even took his tasteless cart to go there. Then, I struck him with his golf club, bound his hands and legs and buried him at the 5th hole. He screamed all night long, the poor fool! This morning, I came to play the 5th hole. I finished it with 3 strokes under par! By best performance this season! Hearing him convulse as he choked on my golf ball... God, I have shivers of joy just thinking about it! Now, I'll always be number one. It'll just be me, on top of the world, FOREVER!
Jones: No, Harold. You're just another basket case. One that's gonna be put away for a long time.
One Wedding and a Funeral
Jones: I can't believe you'd kill your own sister's fiancé, Esteban! And on her wedding day!
Esteban: What choice did I have?! Everything was going great in my life: Lola was suddenly famous, and I was making the most of it ...But then Walter came along and convinced her to stop giving me money. She wouldn't listen to me anymore, not with him in the picture.
Jones: So, you decided to kill Walter before he finally married your sister? Before she could be free of you?!
Esteban: Everyone knew he was going to do his little show! I knew exactly what to do... it was so easy, nobody paid me any attention when I snuck into his hangar! I just had to mix a few chemicals to replace the deicing fluid with a fake product... He flew so high to impress everyone, his plane had to freeze! Just like Icarus, he thought he could get too close to the sun, and he crashed!
Jones: Do you realize how you hurt Lola... If not physically, then emotionally: She's going to be scarred for the rest of her life! All for a bit of money?! But you'll have time to think about what you've done when you're in jail! Esteban Vallez, you're under arrest for the murder of Walter Fairbanks!
Good Girls Don't Die
Grace: Sabrina Kingston, you are under arrest for the murder of Abigail Price. Anything you say can and will be used ag-
Sabrina: Oh, no! Please! You can't arrest me! It wasn't really me... It was the drugs! I didn't know what I was doing!
Grace: Sabrina, you were never actually on drugs. The pills Veronica was selling you were just a mixture of caffeine and talc... They were duds!
Sabrina: Duds? But that means... OH GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?! Oh, Abigail! I... I... I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I wanted Abigail to give me a urine sample... All the top colleges enforce applicant drug tests and I was afraid mine would come up positive! But Abigail refused to help me! Boy, I was so angry... Especially because I had kept a REALLY big secret for her! I crept into the treatment room during her facial... I thought I could intimidate her into giving me a sample if I pointed the laser gun at her... But then I... I lost it! I can't believe I've killed my best friend! I'm a terrible, terrible person! Abigail, please forgive me, I beg of you!
Grace: <Name>, I think we've heard enough from Sabrina. She'll have time to recover before the trial.
All the King's Horses
Jones: Packing already, Hilda? I'm afraid you'll just have to cancel your flight, because you have a lot to answer for!
Hilda: Why? Why, <Rank> <Name>? Everything was going so well! I did it for the boy's sake, can't you see? Can't you see there are bigger things happening here than your foolish laws and procedures? The boy needs guidance!
Jones: And by "guidance", you mean...
Hilda: He needs someone to tell him what to do! And that someone should have been ME! I've EARNED it! I worked so hard to earn the King's trust! But what for? The only decisions I could take were which toys the young Prince should play with! Such trifles! I was born for greatness, I've always known it! Why shouldn't I be the one counseling the King?! I'm as good as anyone! King Khalid would have never listened to me. But Mohammad trusted me! I knew I had to get rid of the father to counsel the son! Coming to Grimsborough was the perfect opportunity to make it look like an accident. Without the security staff around, I could easily sneak away to rob a beehive from an orchard next to the stables. I knew Khalid spent most of his time in the stables, so I joined him to deliver my daily report on his son, lit the firecracker and let the bees, and the horse, do their work. It still pains me that I had to startle this poor horse with even more startled honeybees. But without you sniffing around, it would have all been perfect!
Jones: Call it bad luck, Miss Tipton. <Rank> <Name> is the best sleuth in town, you just couldn't have won! Now follow us, you're under arrest.
Snakes on the Stage
Jones: Annabel?! You're Roland Vane's killer?! But why? How could you do such a thing when he made you the star of the next show?!
Annabel: I didn't know he had!! I thought he'd given his stupid wife the lead role again!! Look, when Roland became the director, I really thought my big break had come. But no, he just fired Gerald and made Beatrice the star of the company! I worked SO hard, day and night, I did everything to show him I had what it took to be the lead, but nothing seemed to matter! I thought the only way to get a break was if a new director was named. So I decided... I decided to kill him. I put sleeping pills in his tea, broke the cage of the snake and trapped them both in the dressing room. Then I ran away! I was in such a frenzy, I lost my key and one of my jewels. I knew I should have looked for them!
Jones: What you should have done is TALK to the man instead of killing him!
Annabel: I know! Why didn't I believe him, why?! He was going to reward all my hard work, and I killed him because I wasn't PATIENT! It's all my FAULT!
Jones: Annabel Stewart, you're under arrest for the murder of Roland Vane. Everything you say may and will be held against you...
It All Ends Here
Jones: <Name>, I don't understand, why did you take us to King's office? I thought we were going to arrest Adam's killer! ...No. No! You can't mean... No, <Name>, you must be wrong! Chief King would never have killed Adam! You've got it wrong!!
Chief King: Unfortunately, <Rank> <Name>'s right. I killed Adam Bentley.
Jones: NO! I refuse to believe this! WHY would you do this?! Adam would have never harmed the Mayor!
Chief King: Oh, Jones, you haven't understood a thing, have you? This has nothing to do with the Mayor.
Jones: Then why did you do it? Chief, answer us!
Chief King: Sorry, but no. You will have to find your own answers, <Rank> <Name>.
Jones: Then you'll have to talk to the Judge! You'll have to explain what happened!
[Chief King pulls out his gun and presses it to his head]
Chief King: I'm sorry. I will not.
Jones: What... What are you doing? Put... Put that gun down, Chief. Please?
Chief King: You'll understand why I'm doing this... in time. I have no other choice.
Jones: Of course you have a choice! There is always a choice! Chief! Please, put the gun down!!
Chief King: Goodbye, <Rank> <Name>. Working with you has been a great honor.
[BANG!!]
Jones: ...
    Airport 
A Brave New World
Jones: Susan, you're under arrest for the gruesome murder of your brother, Stuart Huckabee!
Susan: I did what I had to do to protect my family...
Jones: How on Earth would killing Stuart protect your family?!
Susan: Recently Stuart became obsessed with proving to the world that the Crimson Order killed Pip. But that secret was meant to stay in the family! I begged Stuart to stop, but he didn't listen... And that's when I started seeing the Crimson Order everywhere I looked! It was obviously a warning!
Jones: You mean just as they had warned Elma Huckabee, they were now warning you to keep the secret or die?
Susan: Exactly! I'm a mother, I couldn't risk putting my whole family in danger... So I killed Stuart before the Crimson Order killed my ENTIRE family!
Jones: You slashed his throat and pulled his tongue out!
Susan: It was a message to the Crimson Order: I was promising them that we would talk no more! My family's safe: that's all that counts. Now take me to prison.
Burying the Hatchet
Jones: Shanaya Peota, you are under arrest for the murder of Sandy Grimmes...
Shanaya: NO! I shall NOT submit to your law! What I did was right and just! And I would have got away with it if <Rank> <Name> hadn't gotten involved! I knew what I had to do... So when I saw Sandy arrive for her appointment with Keanu... I jumped her and tied her to the pole! Then I hacked off her thieving hands with a hatchet I'd stolen from the gas station!
Jones: Stop! I've heard enough... You can tell the whole story to Judge Hall!
The Poisoned Truth
Jones: So you're the one who killed Rosie Gatewood, Ashton? And for what: just so you could join the Crimson Order?!
Ashton: The Crimson Order are like me: we're proud of our fine city and we'll do anything to protect it!
Jones: You don't make the city proud: you're just a bunch of psycho killers!
Ashton: Don't make us out to be senseless murderers: all our so called crimes are justified! Rosie Gatewood was about to depict the Crimson Order as insidious manipulators. They gave me a mission to kill her and I executed it perfectly! I used the "Killer Cards" as motivation: the descriptions of each murder taught me how to commit the perfect crime! I took my time and prepared a poison from rare plants in the secret cave... I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. But then <Rank> <Name> came sniffing around and I had to act fast: so I used a poisoned dart and fled the scene before you even knew she was dead!
Jones: Well, we got you now, Cooper. And this time you won't fade away like a ninja!
Ashes to Ashes
Jones: So you're Tess' killer, Luna. I knew your apparent craziness was just a façade. Explain yourself!
Luna: You could never understand! You narrow-minded people, with your misplaced sense of justice, you failed to grasp the bigger picture! Tess wasn't so smart after all, she stupidly threatened the Crimson Order! Our leader obviously couldn't let this go unpunished!
Jones: What? You mean you're a member of the Crimson Order, Luna?!
Luna: Like all my family before me! My mission given to me by our almighty leader was to bring the renegade witch down and eradicate the Goodwins once and for all! I sent Tess a pendulum in prison to allow her to escape. Once she did, I finally cornered her at the Nautical Museum! She fought me, but I had JUSTICE on my side! And she BURNED! The fire burned the little liar away! It's my mission to protect our leader, and I'll follow it, FOREVER!
Jones: So you know who the leader of the Crimson Order is! Tell us, Luna, who is it?!
Luna: I'll NEVER tell! I'd rather DIE, I'd rather go to prison for the rest of my life than betray our leader!
There Will Be Blood
Jones: Huh, Milton's not here... Do you think he guessed we discovered his true identity and escaped?
Milton: Now why would I escape? This is MY city, and it all ends here for you, <Rank> <Name>!
Jones: The game's up, Milton! We know you're Delsin's killer as well as the leader of the Crimson Order!
Milton: I've got to admit, our little game of cat and mouse has been a lot of fun. And scalping that Aloki, it was glorious. And his blood... Mhm, delicious. Ah, the look on Delsin's face. I imagine Inaya looked much the same when Solomon scalped her pretty little head.
Jones: The Aloki Indians saved the Pilgrims' lives! And in return, your ancestor went and killed them all! How could he do such a thing?!
Milton: Quite easily. Solomon discovered the Aloki Indians have an abundance of gold. Enough gold to make them all rich... or one of them a king! And so Solomon devised a plan to gather all the Aloki Indians under one roof in order to kill them all... and so he seduced Inaya.
Jones: Wait a second, Solomon married Inaya just so he could invite them to the Pilgrim Feast and kill the Aloki Indians more easily?!
Milton: A genius move, wasn't it? And there, in that beloved gold mine, the Crimson Order was born.
Jones: I just can't believe it... All those centuries of murder... Just because of some gold...
Milton: Gold has given the Crimson Order unlimited power! As it's leader, I get to choose who lives and who dies in this town. I am Grimsborough's God! And right now, the time has come for me to kill you, <Rank> <Name>!
BANG!
Jones: What the?! <Name>...?! Ah, thank God you're alright. What happened?!
Ramirez: Rule number one: never go anywhere without your trusted frying pan!
Milton: ... So... dizzy...
Ramirez: That's what happens to people who try to hurt <Rank> <Name>!
Jones: Ramirez, that was just brilliant! Now, Milton, where were we? Oh, yes, this is the part where <Rank> <Name> arrests you!
Milton: WHAT?! NO! It doesn't end like this! I was supposed to bring your head to tonight's great ceremony in our headquarters!
