Shark Attack!
Amy: Dr Finn, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the pre-meditated murder of Ice P... And you have a lot of explaining to do!
Trevor: Explaining? What is there to explain? Ice P's the reason I lost everything, and now he's paid for it! That idiot drove away the sharks so the shoreline would be safe for his stupid reality show! Now, there's hardly any left in Pacific Bay! Because of him, I went from being a renowned shark expert to feeding parrots in a zoo! And then I had to watch him strutting around on the beach, taunting me! But how can I be a shark expert if there are no shark attacks?! So I thought it would be fitting if the man who destroyed my career would be the one to help me with my comeback. And, by Triton, now everybody will want my advice!
Amy: Dr. Finn, I very much doubt anyone in the county jail will need advice on sharks! You're under arrest!
Death on Wheels
Frank: Of all our suspects, you seemed to be the most composed. So yeah, I was a bit confused when <Rank> <Name> found out you were the one who killed Carlos. What happened, Shawn? Didn't you say you and Carlos were friends?
Shawn: Friends? How could I be friends with scum like him? He took the woman I love, and then he beat her up! I've been in love with Memphis since the day I met her. But I was too soft for her. Girls like Memphis, they always fall for the wrong guy, you know? I tried to convince her to turn Carlos in, file a complaint but Carlos had her completely brain-washed, she wouldn't go through it! So I tried to reason Carlos, but he just ignored my text! I was helpless, yo! That's when I realized the only way I could get Memphis out of harm's way was to get rid of Carlos! That way I could prove to her I had what it takes to protect her, yo! "Live by the car, die by the car". That's what Carlos would always say. So I decided to hijack a racing car I knew was parked near where I live. After loitering around town to blur my trail, I headed to Derek's party to convince Carlos to run in that night's race. When we got out of Derek's flat, I punched that punk K.O., strapped him to the car hood and gave him his last ride. That's my tribute to him, yo!
Frank: It looks like this is the last ride for you, yo. Please, <Rank> <Name>. I wanna see you put handcuffs on this loser.
What Dies Beneath
Amy: <Rank> <Name> has finally caught you, Mighty Pete! But why? Why did you murder Valerie?
Mighty Pete: She HUMILIATED me! I dispose of people as I see fit, I'm the king of my party kingdom, no one is allowed to leave without my consent! When Valerie arrived, she just looked like an easy target. A little toy to play with until a bigger fish came along, a beautiful plant by my arm! But she played hard to get! I had to give her bigger and bigger gifts to please her, and just when I thought I had her under my control, she wants to leave?! SHE USED ME! So when she talked of her scuba diving, it gave me the perfect opportunity! I sabotaged her equipment with her own screwdriver, so the gauges would stay on full! She drowned in the depths of the ocean. No one humiliates Mighty Pete. She tried, and she paid the price!
Amy: We'll see if standing in trial doesn't humiliate you, Mighty Pete. You're under arrest.
Dead Girl Rolling
Amy: Barbara Pickley, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of your daughter-in-law, Susie. I'm a bit confused, you seemed so... upright.
Barbara: It was a very hard decision to kill Susie. I wish it hadn't come to that. But I had no choice. A woman sometimes has to make difficult decisions in life.
Amy: Difficult decisions?! You said you saw yourself in Susie! You were her friend, her confidante and her mentor!
Barbara: Exactly! I WAS! Until roller derby changed her. Suddenly, she had no use for my advice! She made new friends! She kept new company! When I found out from Becky Walden that Susie was flirting with that freak, I knew she'd gone too far. I had to act fast.
Amy: So you poisoned her?! You even wrote a little note, tricking her into drinking that awful energy drink! Mrs Pickley, Susie trusted you!
Barbara: And she betrayed MY trust! She was going to leave her husband, I'm sure of it! This is how she repays me for welcoming her as a daughter? By cheating on my son? Not only that, but Howard was also changing. Getting unnaturally interested in those other derby girls, drooling over them... I've raised him better than that! This was all because of Susie! I knew what I had to do, then. And I thought dying during a derby match would be a fitting end for Susie. And a warning for Howie, to stay away from those derby girls! <Rank> <Name>, I know YOU understand how hard it is to be a mentor to a young woman. Let us hope you'll succeed with Miss Young where I failed with Susie.
Amy: In the meantime, Mrs Pickley, you're under arrest, thanks to <Rank> <Name>. Off to custody with you!
The Ice Queen
Frank: Derek Stone, I've been waiting so long for this: you're under arrest for the murder of Becky Walden!
Derek: Yeah, right. You ain't got no eye witnesses or whatever, you can't arrest me. Besides, I'm innocent!
Frank: Think again, Derek, <Rank> <Name> has all the evidence we need to arrest you! You're done for! <Rank> <Name> discovered that you used your GPS to track Becky. And that before dying, she ripped one of your glow sticks off. And then when you killed her, you blasted loud electronic music! Not only that, but <Rank> <Name> also found your skin on the murder weapon!
Derek: Damn it, I guess I'm really done for! ... But I'm not ready to give it all up, not yet! I've just reached the top and want to enjoy the view a little longer, yo! You know how I ended up here? I asked my GPS to take me to a place where I could be a king and it led me to Ocean Shore. It's been like one big party yo... Until <Rank> <Name> turned up in my flat, asking me about that street racing death. That's when I knew <Rank> <Name> was gonna bring this party to an end. I make my money because people here want to have a good time. They want drugs. This is what makes Ocean Shore. And that's why people know to turn a blind eye... But not Becky! She was always taking pictures... of EVERYTHING! So that girl had to go: she didn't belong here!
Frank: Only scum like you would think that drugs are worth more than a human life! I've heard enough! Let's handcuff him, <Rank> <Name>!

    Bayou Bleu 
Bayou Blood
Frank: Shawna Knox, you are under arrest for the brutal murder of Lee Dupree. You have the right to remain silent bu-
Shawna: No! You don't understand! One of us was going to get hurt that day and it wasn't going to be me!
Frank: Aha! So you admit that you killed Lee Dupree?
Shawna: Well, I... I can't really deny it now that <Rank> <Name> has caught up with me... But it was self-defense! Lee... He... He tried to force himself on me! What choice did I have? I couldn't live with myself if I didn't fight back... And he wasn't going to back down! Anyone who is as low as he was DESERVES a horrible end! ARGGHHHHH!
Frank: Ok... Uh, Shawna. That's enough talking for now. But you'll have to face up to Judge Dante and tell him exactly what happened. You're under arrest!
Easy Prey
Amy: Stop right there, Mr. Bundy! <Rank> <Name> knows you're the one who killed Coleen Truman!
Steve: You've got it all wrong! She's the one who attacked me! I just wanted to talk to her, and she zapped me like I was cattle! From the start, she despised everyone in the Bayou! And she LIED to us, saying she'd turn Gator Land back to the fun place it used to be! But then I found out she was meant to have me destroy it and build a mall instead! But none of us Bayou people care about those horrible places!
Amy: And that's why you shot her? Alec Howard hadn't even sold her the park yet!
Steve: But he would have! Coleen would have found a way to destroy the park anyway! She was just driven by greed! But I... I never meant to kill her. I just told her to leave, but when she zapped me... I realized that to her, we were just... commodities. I couldn't stand the thought. The Bayou is my home, I couldn't let her destroy it! So when I came to, I went to get my rifle and I... I...
Amy: You shot her, like she was nothing more than an animal. The way you treated her is in no way better than the way she treated all of you, Mr. Bundy! You're right, <Rank> <Name>, Judge Dante will decide what is fair. Mr. Bundy, you're under arrest!
The Root of All Evil
Frank: Ray?! You killed Nora Lewis? I'm telling you, if you don't confess THIS INSTANT, it'll be hell for you and your damned plant! Spill it!
Ray: She wanted to hurt Julian! She wanted to destroy him! I only tried to protect Julian!! You really think I would leave my life's work to rot in the forest? I never stopped taking care of him! I watched him grow, I was so proud! I fed him little animals, I perfected my fertilizer formula to make sure he would digest them well! So yes, I lied to you about Julian. But I never hurt Lt Lewis! I didn't k—
Frank: Drop the act! You really want us to ask why your DNA is on Lt Lewis' gun? Or how <Rank> <Name> found threads from your lab coat in that abandoned lab?
Ray: I didn't MEAN to kill her! She walked upon me while I was feeding Julian, and she panicked! She ordered me to stop, she held me at gunpoint! And yet, for all she said, for all the threats she made against me and my plant, she was fascinated! She couldn't help but stare at him, my pride and joy! I took advantage of her inattention, I grasped the gun away from her, and I striked her head with all my strength! And when I saw her laying unconscious... I mean, I couldn't let her go away! She would have brought other soldiers there! And Julian seemed happy to try out human flesh for once! I would have been out of mind to let such a perfect occasion pass, don't you think?
Frank: Oh, you're out of your mind alright. Ray Westman, you're under arrest for the murder of Nora Lewis!
Death by Moonshine
Frank: Joe Littlehat, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Sammy Duncan.
Joe: What? No, it's all a mistake! I was out poaching that night, I can prove it! I caught two alligators!
Frank: I'm sure both will be happy to testify in court for you, Joe. But <Rank> <Name> found your blood on the murder weapon! And your skin cells on the victim's button! You were involved in Sammy's moonshine distillery. And Sammy wasn't called "the Swindler" for nothing. Did he cheat you out of money?
Joe: The distillery was MINE, too! I created the recipe! But Sammy never admitted that he needed me! I just wanted a bit of personal recognition! And my share of the profit, naturally!
Frank: A-ha! Is that why you left that domino sign on his skin? Killing him wasn't enough, you had to win the game, didn't you? It doesn't sound like a healthy business partnership to me, Joe. <Rank> <Name> doesn't always agree with me, but in the end, I'm always right! Right, <Name>? Well, OK, there was that button... And the doll in the forest I didn't want to restore... And the... Anyway, we all agree that you're arrested for murder, Joe Littlehat, and that's the end of it!

Smoke and Mirrors

Amy: Erikah Mabayo, you're under arrest for the gruesome murder of Vanessa Kimmel!
Erikah: Don't come any closer or I'll kill you! This is your last chance to walk away from this... and live!
Amy: <Rank> <Name> is right: we've seen enough voodoo dolls to know they don't work! You don't frighten us!
Erikah: Ignorant fools, prepare to die!
Amy: Well how about that? We're still alive, Erikah, which means you're a fraud! Ha-ha, you know nothing about voodoo! <Rank> <Name> has figured it all out: you're the owner of the brothel, aren't you? You just use voodoo to scare people so that they leave you alone!
Erikah: People in Bayou Bleu will believe anything! They are so easy to control! As well as those stupid girls, only interested in making money to leave this place. It was so easy to enslave them!
Amy: No person deserves that! And when those girls tried to escape, you killed them! But you had to replace them, and that's where Vanessa comes in!
Erikah: And if she hadn't gotten pregnant with one of her clients, you would never have found out the truth! But that little pest's maternal instinct made her want to escape the bayou... But not before exposing me! She had to die!
Amy: You have no right to decide who dies or not: you're neither a god or a voodoo priestess, Erikah, you're just a fraud and a murderer! And that's why you're now under arrest!

    Inner City 
Heartless
Amy: Stop right there, Miss Golovanov! <Rank> <Name>'s discovered the truth, you killed Ling Zhang!
Ivana: What are you talking about? It's those Chinese who killed her, not me!
Amy: Don't lie to <Rank> <Name>, Ivana. They found your lucky coin with Ling's blood on it. You tossed it to decide whether she had to live or die! And we know you went to Yuan Wong's shop to neutralize her with an acupuncture needle! You left your hair there, and a ton of pollen on the knife you used to stab her!
Ivana: You got it all figured out, didn't you? But you're a little late, <Rank> <Name>. All I cared about was to maintain the integrity of my family and to send a message to the Chinese community! Ling stole my brother's heart. And as stupid as he is, he's still family! An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart! Ling had to pay for what she did to him, to us! Never in my life would I have tolerated my own blood to be mixed with Asian blood! This is why I had to set things right, before it was too late! Ethnicities are mixing now, blood is becoming impure. Have you seen the crime rates? That's because of the race-mixing!
Amy: Jeez, <Rank> <Name>. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all this hatred and cruelty, here. Let's just arrest this horrible woman and call it a day, shall we?
Payback
Amy: Yuan?! You killed David Breitman?! But why? You loved him!
Yuan: I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm but an old lady, I wouldn't hurt a fly!
Amy: <Rank> <Name> found evidence, Yuan! They found the cloth for your glasses, they found threads from your clothes, your blood—
Yuan: Alright, no need to get angry. Good job, <Rank> <Name>, you caught me, something that all your colleagues failed to do. David came back after 25 years, after getting foolishly caught, and he expected me to give him his cut of our last robbery! That money was mine by right! I created my business, I helped my family out of dire times with it! Giving it back would have ruined everything I've built! But did he care? No! He was ready to rob an old woman blind to get his own life back on track! He would have destroyed my family! So when I bumped into him at the Deli... I didn't even think. I just did what I knew had to be done. I threw my tea at him to blind him, and then... I cut his throat. It all happened very quickly. I hit him with the menorah to knock him out, so he wouldn't feel the pain. I'm hard, but not cruel. Family always come first. David never quite understood that. For the sake of my family, I had to kill him. I had no other choice.
Amy: I think there were other ways to give him that message than murder, Yuan. You're under arrest.
Eastern Promises
Frank: Tom Zhang, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Radovan Radich. Killing him at his daughter's wedding, you've got guts! We know you hate your clients who aren't Chinese, and Radovan was Serbian, but was that seriously a good enough reason to kill him?!
Tom: I have no idea what you're talking about! You can't prove anything! I'm innocent!
Frank: Funny you should say that, because <Rank> <Name> found a whole bunch of proof: the DNA you left on the victim's handkerchief, for one. There's also the bathing salts that fell out of your pockets, right under the victim's body... And let's not forget-
Tom: Alright, alright! I... admit it. I did it. I just wanted the Chinese gang to notice me! I want so badly to belong somewhere, <Name>! You don't know what it's like, being this lonely! I started thinking about ways to get noticed, to show them I was tough. And that's when I got the idea! Radovan had been my customer for years, always blabbering on about his precious daughter. When he mentioned she was getting married, I knew this was my chance! Killing a Serbian, a friend of the Russians, in front of hundreds of people, including Chinese leaders... That would get me noticed for sure!! But I don't think it's worked. Nobody has contacted me apart from you, <Rank> <Name>. No phone call, no email... It's like people don't care!
Frank: Wait, you wanted to impress the Chinese with a murder? So they take you into their gang? Russell was right, you're a nutcase! But not enough to keep you out of jail. You're under arrest.
Spineless
Frank: Shelly Dulard, you're under arrest for the gruesome murder of Angus O'Brian!
Shelly: Oh cutie, you're jealous I flirted with Angus and so you want to get back at me? That's so romantic!
Frank: Nice try, Shelly, but <Rank> <Name> has figured it all out: after you lost the fight to Angus, you drank a few beers before confronting him. During the confrontation, you ended up strangling him with a jump rope... before filling him up with helium!
Shelly: Angus got what he deserved! When I arrived in Inner City, it was like a fairy tale: I had found my dream man and my dream job! But during the fight, Angus showed that photo I gave him to EVERYBODY! He humiliated me just so he could win the tournament! It was meant to be the start of my career, and in that one moment, he crushed my dreams and my heart! They are wounds that will never heal! I thought Angus should experience what it feels like being me, so I decided to blow him up like a balloon. And as I'm sure he can tell you, it ain't a nice feeling!
Frank: <Rank> <Name> is right, we've heard enough from you. But I'm sure the judge will wanna hear all about this. For now, you're under arrest!
Murder-Go-Round
Amy: Tammy Baker, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Odette Kamarov and the kidnapping of Andrew Kamarov!
Tammy: I don't know what you're talking about! I never laid a finger on Odette, and you know Andrew was taken from me at the playground!
Amy: That's not what the evidence says. You left traces of stew when you took Odette's pulse, and you also left nail treatment on Andrew's bunny! How could you, Ms Baker? How could you kill this woman in cold blood, then kidnap her son?! You were supposed to look after his welfare!
Tammy: And that's exactly why I did it! Can't you see? I couldn't take it anymore! Odette resented darling Andrew for ending her career, she barely spent any time with him, she neglected his health! I needed to get Andrew away from her for good. So I crushed blood thinner in Odette's afternoon coffee. The medicine doesn't work right away, so she was able to come with me to pick Andrew up from school. She wanted to play Mommy for once. When she started to feel ill, I left her at the carousel and took Andrew through the playground to my apartment. Then I came back to make sure Odette was dead. Luckily, no one was around to see me. I was so overcome with anger, I left a message on her jacket. I wanted the world to know what she really was!
Amy: And what about Andrew? Where is he? Did you hurt him?
Tammy: No! I did this to protect him! He's safe and sound in my apartment!
Amy: I agree, <Rank> <Name>, let's go get Andrew! But first... you're under arrest, Tammy Baker!
Killing Time
Amy: Fredo Mancini, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the brutal murder of Vito Pioni!
Fredo: On what grounds?! You haven't got anything. Not one shred of evidence!
Amy: On the contrary! <Rank> <Name> found your sketchpad filled with designs for the murder!
Fredo: Drawings don't mean-
Amy: <Rank> <Name> also found your scooter's GPS, proving you were at Grand Central Station at the time of the crime.
Fredo: That could be-
Amy: And then <Rank> <Name> found your mustache hair at the crime scene. Face it Fredo. You're guilty!
Fredo: Guilty? Why should I feel guilt for Vito's death? That right-wing pig had it coming! I'm glad I killed him! The Daily Dawn tells more lies than all the politicians, banks, and police officers combined! The revolution had to start with Vito's death!
Amy: And it's going to stop with it, thanks to <Rank> <Name>! Fredo Mancini, you're under arrest!
Fredo: Ha! We'll see about that...
Under the Skin
Frank: Rupert Snow?! You killed Kamarov?! But... Why?
Rupert: What are you talking about, <Rank>? Why would I kill my father?
Frank: That's what we'd like to know! <Rank> <Name> found traces from your transplant medicine on your drawing, we know it's you!
Rupert: This doesn't prove anything. Lots of people take this medicine.
Frank: Yeah, but we've also found the firecracker that gave you this lovely burn on your face. And the tape you recorded while killing your father!
Rupert: Ah, I guess there's no use denying it. <Rank> <Name>, I bow to your skills. Yes, I killed my father. I also hired Mark McKenzie so he would gather organs from various Inner City citizens for me. And finally, I kidnapped my mother so I woul-
Frank: Wait, what? Are you telling us Sue Xiong is your mother?!
Rupert: Of course. She fell in love with Nikolai in high school, and they had me. They were too young, however, and too weak to stand up to societal pressure. So they abandoned me, without a second look! Without fighting for me!
Frank: And so you decided to kill them both? You can hold a grudge!
Rupert: This wasn't about killing. But I will reveal my master plan to my judge and jury, and only then.
Frank: Suit yourself. Rupert Snow, you're under arrest!

    Jazz Town 
After the Storm
Amy: Linda Buttons, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of your husband: Elmer "Boogie" Buttons, the famous saxophone player.
Linda: What? I didn't kill him! I told you, I loved him! I couldn't wait for him to retire, like he promised, and spend all his time with me! He said he just wanted to win the jazz award one more time...
Amy: Oh, you're right, <Name>! Mrs. Buttons, your husband said this every year, didn't he? You were afraid he would never fulfill his promise... And that's why you broke Elmer's saxophone? <Rank> <Name> found your blood on it. And the radio you left playing... You made sure he died while listening to his own song!
Linda: Elmer broke my heart every day for thirty years, by always choosing music over me! He got what he deserved! I turned into a drunken wreck because of him! And then, instead of keeping his word about retiring, he tried to get me locked up in rehab!
Amy: Well, now you'll be locked up in prison, Mrs. Buttons! You're under arrest!
Cloudy with a Chance of Murder
Amy: I'm shocked, Mrs. Bordeaux! But the evidence <Rank> <Name> found points straight to you... You murdered Clifford Grady!
Marie: Me? A murderer? Don't be a fool, sweetheart. I'm just a mother coping with the grief of a lost loved one.
Amy: Well killing is not a proper way to cope. It all adds up... the French lessons, the hair on the paintbrush...
Marie: So you found a paintbrush. What's this got to do with me?
Amy: There's more! <Rank> <Name> found your skin cells on your leftover Cajun food carton! We know you killed Clifford. Don't you feel any guilt at all for what you did?
Marie: Guilt? Is it a crime to remove a weed that is hurting all around him? Thanks to me, finally those who have been grieving can feel some retribution!
Amy: But he was your brother! How could you do that to your family?
Marie: He is not family. Family is about love, and family would never leave a young girl unprotected during the storm. That's the opposite of love.
Amy: Even if you were feeling grief, murder is no way to cope with it. Marie Bordeaux, you are under arrest!
Open Wounds
Frank: Class dismissed, Mrs Davis! <Rank> <Name> figured it all out! You've been a very naughty teacher, you killed Joe Stanford!
Harriet: Me, killing Joe Stanford? How ludicrous! Now if you don't mind, I've got work to d-
Frank: Cut the crap, Davis! You went to the battlefield and shot the cannon at Joe! <Rank> <Name> discovered you schemed the whole thing using chess strategy!
Harriet: Complete nonsense! You know I abhor everything war-related! Do you seriously think I could have killed someone with a cannon?
Frank: Come on! <Name> even found you toasted to Stanford's death with a mint julep! It was all over the cannonball that hit him!
Harriet: Well, I can see you've been doing your homework, <Rank> <Name>. I admit it, I'm the one who killed that rat-faced dunce! I had to protect my pupils from this evil menace! For the sake of future generations and to preserve the history of this country! I've got nothing to atone for, I know I did the right thing!
Frank: Well, it's detention time for you, teach! In other words, you're under arrest!
Under the Thunderdome
Amy: Claude Lamothe, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Theo Mercier!
Claude: What are you talking about? Certainly I confronted him about his thieving, but murder?! I would never go that far!
Amy: The evidence tells a different story, Mr Lamothe. You left chicory drink on Theo's body and insect repellent on the murder weapon!
Claude: Everybody drinks chicory and uses insect repellent in Jazz Town! You have no way of proving these wild assertions.
Amy: Maybe so, but how many people in Jazz Town also have a mud stain on their clothes and access to the crime scene?
Claude: Fine, fine! I did kill Theo, but what choice did I have? Innocent people's lives were at stake! Theo's plan to distribute the medicine he stole to whomever could pay the most regardless of their health put the populace of Jazz Town in direct danger! I knew Theo would come back to the pharmacy, so I waited for him there. I tried once more to talk some sense into him, but he wouldn't listen! When he tried to push past me into the pharmacy, I grabbed the pharmacy weather vane that had fallen during Hurricane Yves ... and I jammed it down his throat! The thing even broke in two! I had no idea that I had so much strength! I decided to take the body to the stadium. Anyone with a badge can get in and chaos is running the show. I know it was wrong, but don't you see? I had to kill the one to protect the many!
Amy: Mr Lamothe, no matter your intentions, you broke the law and you're under arrest!
Of Rats and Men
Frank: Andre Roche, you are under arrest for the disgusting murder of Scott Lee Allan.
Andre: What? I ain't done nothing! You can't prove anything!
Frank: Actually, we can. <Rank> <Name> found the packet of Rat Attract you covered the victim in, on which you left powder from those sleeping pills you take!
Andre: I... I don't even know what Rat Attract is!
Frank: Really? We also found the rat trap you used! Were you afraid the Rat Attract wouldn't be enough?
Andre: That could be anybody's! Loads of people collect rats... Gimme a second I'll think of someone!
Frank: Stop it, Andre! We know you killed Scott Allan! But what I'd really like to know is how you thought you could attack a member of our team and get away with it!
Andre: I guess you got me... I hope that girl wasn't too freaked out. I admit the mask might have been too much, but I needed to scare you off my trail! I was so mad when Scott refused to tell me where he'd hidden his treasure! I was tired of being taken for a fool! So today, when I saw him in the street... I knew it was my chance to finally get revenge for his bullying! I devised a plan. I knew how much he hated rats, so I collected as many of them as I could. Then I lured Scott to the theater. I only meant to torture him, I swear! I just wanted him to tell me where the money was! And once he had told me, I tried to untie him, but... But the rats... the rats were so hungry... I couldn't get them off him! They ate... They ate him alive!
Frank: ... Andre Roche, you're one sick puppy, but thanks to <Rank> <Name> you are now under arrest!
The Eye of the Storm
Amy: Veronica! Stop this madness now! We know you control the storm! We know you have the remote!
Veronica: NEVER! Peggy tried to stop me, and see what happened to her! Do you want to suffer the same fate, <Rank> <Name>?
Amy: But why, Veronica?! Why do you want to unleash a storm on Jazz Town?
Veronica: My family created Jazz Town, but nobody remembers that! Our ancestral home is in ruins and the city won't even help! I can't even leave! I can't sell my land, it's protected! This town my family built is now trapping me like a lion in a cage! When I found the machine, I knew it was my chance to finally turn things around! And that's how Hurricane Yves was born!
Amy: What the?! You created Hurricane Yves just to destroy your home so that you could get the house insurance money?!
Veronica: Of course! That insurance is the only thing of value I have left! Thanks to Hurricane Yves, I could finally claim that money and escape Jazz Town! But Peggy ruined everything! She claimed the hurricane could not have caused that much damage to my house, and the demand got denied!
Amy: So that's why you created Hurricane Zelda! To fully demolish your house?
Veronica: Oh, no. This time I want to destroy the entire town! Turn it back into a swamp, just like the way my ancestors found it!
Amy: We cannot let you do that! Give <Rank> <Name> the remote, Veronica!
Veronica: Never! Just try and...
WHOOOOOSH!
Veronica: Noooo, the wind blew the remote from out of my hand!
Amy: I've got the remote, <Name>, I've got the remote!
Veronica: Don't you dare touch it!
Amy: So if I turn it off... ... the storm will stop.
Veronica: NOOOOOOO!
Amy: It's gone! The storm is gone! You've done it, <Name>!
Veronica: Argh! You've ruined everything!
Amy: You should know that <Rank> <Name> always wins! Veronica, you're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent...
Hanging by a Thread
Russell: Freddie Alonzo, you're under arrest for the murder of Dinah Cooper.
Freddie: Look, the Carnival has already suffered a setback with Dinah's death. I really can't deal with your vile accusations right now!
Russell: Well, maybe we have the wrong guy then, don't we, <Rank> <Name>? I mean, you can't always be right, I guess. All we know is the Puppeteer is a selfish, cold-hearted killer. They think they're liberating children from their parents, when really they're destroying the children's lives.
Freddie: Wait, you don't know that: look at me, I was one of the children left behind, and I'm doing fine. And so is Louie!
Russell: Your parents were the first to die. Were they too controlling, is that it, Freddie? Is that why you killed them?
Freddie: I've told you: I'm not the Puppeteer!
Russell: But you fit the profile: the Puppeteer is some weak, middle-aged man now who still think he's a child. It's kind of pathetic, really: having to kill just to feel good about yourself.
Freddie: That's not why I kill! My parents never let me do anything... kids are meant to be free, but it felt like prison: so I decided to show my parents what it was like to be controlled... They didn't like it much, but I never felt so alive! I felt sorry for the other kids: I wanted them to be free too. I wanted to share their joy!
Russell: You just didn't want to be all alone - you wanted some human connection. But you never found it, so you kept killing... but fact is, you'll always be lonely: because of who you are!
Freddie: What have you ever done with your life?! I will be remembered for ever in Jazz Town! I was the boy who dared to dream and make his own life as he pleased!
Russell: You'll more likely be remembered as a balding creep who killed innocent citizens. A bad dream. Ah good, <Rank> <Name>, I see you've got the handcuffs ready for the arrest!

    White Peaks 
Leap of Death
Amy: Sven Blattner, you are under arrest for the murder of Anjulie Cruz!
Sven: Hold on, now wait just one second, I am the head of the ISA! What reasoning could I possibly have for killing a skier, the very people I work to support?
Amy: A question we were wondering ourselves! But <Rank> <Name> found not only the wire cutters you used, but the actual wire you hung up to kill Anjulie! It had traces of the oil from your snow mobile, plus your lip balm on the end. We know it's you, Mr. Blattner! Why would you kill a rising star like Anjulie? She deserved her chance for a medal!
Sven: She doesn't deserve to be in the Frosty Cup! No woman should! Ski jumping is a man's sport! Back in my day, the sport and the Cup were taken seriously! Now it's just a big joke!
Amy: You say it's a joke because women have their equal turn? You had your chance for a medal, who are you to prevent other people from competing as well?
Sven: I had my chance and I never got my medal... damn if I let a woman get one if I couldn't!
Amy: Well Mr Blattner, you will certainly pay for what you did, and you certainly won't get a medal in jail. <Rank> <Name> is putting you under arrest!
Hearts of Ice
Amy: <Rank> <Name> discovered the truth, Tiffany! We're sorry that your relationship with Juan Rodrigo didn't turn out well, but it was no reason to kill him!
Tiffany: How could you say that?! I would never have killed Juan Rodrigo, I was in love with him!
Amy: You can't fool <Rank> <Name>! We found residue of your breath spray all over Juan Rodrigo's face. Maybe you wanted one last kiss before killing him?
Tiffany: Hey this is a joke, right? I don't have time for this, I gotta find a new job and you know how tough that is!
Amy: It's us who don't have time for this, Tiffany! You're a sloppy killer: you left traces of cherry liquor chocolates and champagne behind. All things considered, you're the only suspect that fits!
Tiffany: Argh! Well, he had it coming! Until I met Juan Rodrigo, I had never loved anybody. He made me so many promises: we were meant to grow old together while drinking hot chocolate! But he used me to get famous outside of this stupid village. He took intimate photos of us and sold them to my magazine: he's ruined my life!
Amy: To be fair, you only write about other people's secrets, which you then call gossip. Because of that, you've ruined countless lives, and yet you get annoyed when it happens to you?
Tiffany: I didn't get "annoyed"! It was the humiliation! The betrayal! Maybe someday someone will break your heart in the worst possible way, then you'll understand!
Amy: Maybe. But <Rank> <Name> is right, for now you're under arrest, Tiffany, for first-degree murder!
Into the Woods
Frank: Ruthie Samson, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Paula Mahler!
Ruthie: What can you possibly mean? Paula and I were buddies! Sure, I was a little disappointed in her coverage of Logan's Pass, but any publicity is good publicity, right?
Frank: Somehow I just don't buy your story, Ms Samson... Maybe because all the evidence <Rank> <Name> found points to you! Paula's compass collected chunks of your new hiking boot soles... And you left wood mushroom spores all over the saw operation button!
Ruthie: Anyone in Logan's Pass could have left mushroom spores on that thing! Like a lumberjack or even that creepy hermit!
Frank: But how many residents also have expert knot making skills and fit the age profile of the killer perfectly?
Ruthie: Ok! Alright! You got me! I didn't expect some hot shot cop like <Rank> <Name> to ever come to Logan's Pass. If you hadn't, I would've gotten away with it! I have wasted my whole life trying to put this little nowhere town on the map! Paula promised to help! She was my last chance to make Logan's Pass the next Aspen! But not only did she decide not to write about the hotel and shopping, she intended to remove Logan's Pass from her guide book entirely! So I decided to cut her just like she cut Logan's Pass from her travel guide! I tricked her into coming to the timber mill by pretending to be that lumberjack who saved her life. I cornered her and she climbed up onto the saw table to get away from me. Then she slipped... I guess her boots still had snow on them. I saw she was stunned, so I quickly tied her up and started the saw. It cut into her like she was butter!
Frank: Well, Ms Samson, the only publicity you'll get now will be for the Pacific Bay penitentiary! You're under arrest!
The Hunger Planes
Amy: <Name>, what's Bobby doing here? Why did you... Oh Lord! You don't think-
Bobby: Amy! This is all a mistake! You know I didn't kill Captain Hugo! <Rank> <Name> is wrong!
Amy: But... But <Rank> <Name> is never wrong. And we did find your frostbitten fingernails on those gloves... and your travel sickness pills on Hugo's cap!
Bobby: Amy! You know I'd never hurt anyone! I... I love you Amy. Look at me! You know you love me too!
Amy: But you did hurt him. And then you... you used his skin to make snowshoes! As if he was an animal! How could you, Bobby?!
Bobby: Honey bear! You've got to believe m-
Amy: Don't call me honey bear! Don't call me anything. Ever. Again! Just tell <Rank> <Name> the truth!
Bobby: I had no food! No hope! We were dying on that mountain and all that man could think about was himself! Harry and I went to look for help. My memory's hazy... There was an avalanche... I was knocked out. When I woke up, Harry had taken my supplies and left me for dead! I was so angry! Something clicked inside of me. I wanted to kill him. I wanted to EAT him! So I hunted him down, like he was my prey. I pounced on him, smashing his head in. Then I tied him to a stick and roasted him over the lava. The taste... The taste was horrid. I used my toothpaste to try to cover it, but eating him... It felt good. I felt strong! But then... You came, Amy. You came and saved me. When I saw you, my rage died. It was just survival! I had no choice!
Amy: No, Bobby, you had a choice. A killer always has a choice! Bobby Prince, you're... you're under arrest for the murder of Captain Hugo!
The White Peaks Project
Frank: You're under arrest, Lola! <Rank> <Name> found fibers from your pom-pom at the crime scene, and the pumpkin soup you left on Virginia's body!
Lola: Wow, stop right there! Why would I kill Virginia, I needed her alive! Who's gonna finish her documentary now?
Frank: <Rank> <Name>'s got all the evidence they need, Lola! What about the sleeping pill residue in the Night Walker's cabin, what about your handkerchief in the woods?
Lola: Okay, you're talking nonsense there! I'm a film producer, not a murderer!
Frank: <Rank> <Name> found YOUR blood on Virginia's knife! There's nowhere you can hide now!
Lola: Alright, ALRIGHT! You got me. I killed Virginia. But it was an accident! Let me explain! People don't want facts, they don't want historical information, what they want is blood and violence! Documentaries about urban legends like the Night Walker need BLOOD! I talked to Virginia about it, but she always got so mad! So I started to follow her, trying to put some fear into her! And it worked like a charm! She was terrified, absolutely convinced that someone was gonna kill her because of the Night Walker! I never intended to really kill her, of course, but when I revealed myself she tried to stab me with a knife! I had no other choice, I just defended myself! I pushed her against that tree, but I never imagined that the branches would impale her like that!
Frank: You left Virginia to die in the woods, you never called 911 and you lied to the Police, Lola. Good luck trying to plead your case to the Judge. You're under arrest!
The End of the Night
Amy: Duncan! <Rank> <Name> wants to arrest you for Roberto's murder! But you didn't do it, right?
Duncan: Of course not! <Rank> <Name>, I'm sorry, but you must have made a mistake. I just hope my sister won't get the blame for this!
Amy (holding her necklace): But Duncan, <Name> proved the killer is smart, and likes riddles... An ex-policeman fits the profile perfectly!
Duncan: Oh, come on, that's really flimsy evidence, <Rank> <Name>!
Amy: But you also have snow chains on your wheelchair, and you're blond, and... oh, Duncan, I'd give anything if only <Name> was wrong!
Duncan: Amy, look at me: I'm stuck in a wheelchair, how can I be the killer? How could I be the Night Walker when I can't walk?
Amy: I don't know... <Name>, what if you really made a mistake this time? I know you're never wrong, but...
Hannah (holding Roberto's phone): <Name>, Amy! I have something very important to show you!
Amy: Right now? What is it, Hannah?
Hannah: Remember the video on Roberto's phone, <Name>? I've been working ever since to retrieve the rest of the recording, and I finally have it! You have to watch it right away!
Recorded on Roberto's phone...
Roberto: Oh no, it's back! It's the Night Walker, again!
Duncan: Hello, Roberto!
Roberto: Get away from me!
Duncan: Hey, calm down! It's just me! Come on, don't tell me you're afraid of poor old crippled Duncan!
Roberto: Get back! I know everything! I know you're the Night Walker! I just don't understand how you killed all those people when you can't walk!
Duncan (standing up): I wanted everybody to believe that I couldn't! But I taught myself to walk again after my accident! (holding an icicle) And with that, came a thirst for blood!
Roberto: No, no, please, Duncan! I won't tell anybody you can walk! I won't tell anyone you're the Night Walker! STAB! STAB! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!
End of footage...
Amy (tearfully holding her gun): You can walk! All this time, you could walk!
Duncan (standing up while holding his hand out): Ssssh, Amy, I wanted to tell you... It's still me, it's Duncan, your brother... Now, put that gun down, okay?
Amy (holding her gun): You killed Roberto!
Duncan: Amy, I've protected you all my life - now it's your turn! Help me escape, and I'll make everything alright, I promise!
Amy (holding her gun): I'd love to believe you, Duncan, but... you're just trying to sweet-talk me into a horrible mistake!
Duncan (shouting): Have I ever let you down, Amy? Have I not been your hero all your life? I'm the only one in your family who ever loved you! Just help me escape, dammit!
Amy (holding her gun): Duncan, I remember what you told me when we found you at the crime scene: you said you trusted me to do the right thing. (holding her gun) I'm doing this in honor of the cop you once were, Duncan: I'm stepping aside while <Rank> <Name> arrests you for murder.

    Ivywood Hills 
The Young and the Lifeless
Frank: Tucker Smalls, you're under arrest for the murder of Felicia Steppingstone!
Tucker (holding his dog and papers, shocked): What? You're crazy, old man. How could I have possibly killed Felicia when I was running errands for her all night?
Frank: Well, you first tried to with a razor at the pool party, but she knew someone was following her, and so she tried to hide at the Imperial Theater. But you managed to follow her there, dropping your razor case in the process. We know it's yours. <Rank> <Name> found traces of your teeth whitener on it!
Tucker (angrily): So now it's a crime to have a razor? Keeping an unshaven face seems more unlawful to me!
Frank (angrily): Felicia escaped you again, but not for long. You followed her up to the Ivywood sign in your convertible. <Rank> <Name> brilliantly matched your tire track!
Tucker (sweating): And now I'm blamed for driving a convertible? I think <Rank> <Name> here is just jealous!
Frank (shouting): Drop the act, Tucker! In the end that precious dog of yours gave you away. The cleaner you left on the crime scene had traces of chihuahua hair! Thanks to that dog, we've found our murderer!
Tucker (shouting): Don't you put this on Pookie! He didn't have anything to do with the murder! It was me and only me!
Frank: Well maybe instead of bringing a dog along as your accomplice, you should have picked a more reliable partner, like I chose <Rank> <Name>! (angrily) You're under arrest! And I advise you and your dog not to bark anymore until you're in front of the judge!
Once Upon a Crime
Frank (angrily): Miranda Galguera! <Rank> <Name> found it all out! You killed Jenny, you killed your own daughter!
Miranda (shocked): How... How could you say such a monstrous thing? I loved my Jenny more than anything else! How in the world could I have harmed her?
Frank: Cut the crap, you cut yourself when you stabbed her, and disinfected the wound with a tissue you left in the art studio.
Miranda (crying): Please stop accusing me, you got it all wrong! I'm a fragile woman, and I just buried my child, stop it! I... I want to see my lawyer!
Frank (grinning): How about seeing your shrink for a happy pill refill? Because judging from that blister pack <Rank> <Name> found, you popped the whole thing while hiding clues at the art studio!
Miranda (biting her nails): I don't feel so well, I could use one of those Nevrax pills, actually... I'm an actress, I'm sensitive!
Frank (angrily): Oh we know you're an actress, alright. The computer <Name> found proved that as an actress, you were granted access to the studios. (shouting) This is how you could enter the set when Jenny was rehearsing alone, and this is when you killed her!
Miranda (crying): Oh I can't take it no more, <Name>. I won't deny it no longer, I killed her! I killed my poor little Jenny!
Frank: Well done <Name>, your reasoning was right, as always! Miss Galguera, you're under arrest for the murder of your own daughter, Jenny Galguera!
Wild Wild Death
Frank: Luz Lucha, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Horace Foster! I hoped they were wrong, but all the evidence points to you...
Luz (innocently): Kill my biggest fan? Why would I kill such an Ivywood heavyweight?
Frank (grinning): It's true Horace Foster wasn't exactly in your weight class... That's why you had to stomp on him with your cowboy boots when you were tying him up!
Luz (angrily): Tying Horace up? I know I wear a mask, but I'm not some kind of pervert...
Frank (skeptically): Of course not! That's why you had to steady your nerves with some tequila when the deed was done! But you left some on the gloves you were wearing...
Luz (shocked): Hey, I'm a professional athlete! If you're looking for a heavy drinker, look at that Tex loser!
Frank (grinning): Tex doesn't wear leather, but you do, Ms Lucha! Never mind the Scar-Away gel you left on Horace's belt buckle! (fantasizing) What surprises me is that a delicate flower such as yourself could have pulled it off!
Luz (shouting): What do you mean by that? I did pull it off! I've held the ladies' wrestling championship belt for three years straight! Killing Horace was a piece of cake! (angrily) I found Horace on his walk of the set he takes after everyone is gone. I offered him a tumbler of whiskey and told him all was forgiven. When the ketamine took effect, I tied the horses to his arms and legs. Then I played the sound of a rattlesnake on my phone. The horses ran away like their tails were on fire! (grinning) I always felt strong in the wrestling ring, but killing Horace made me feel more powerful than ever!
Frank (in disbelief): I should have known you were too good to be true, Ms Lucha... You're always hiding behind that mask...
Luz (taking off her mask): You want to see what's behind my mask?! (revealing her face, shouting) Do you like what you see?!
Frank (shocked): So that's why they call you La Calavera! Your skull-shaped birthmark! You better get used to showing your birthmark off... I doubt the prison will let you keep the mask! Ms Lucha, you're under arrest!
Murdertown
Amy (shocked): <Name>! I can't find Walter Fellows anywhere! But look, I found another riddle! (shouting) "Did you honestly think you could ever catch me? A beach with a gimlet is where I'll be!" <Name>, Walter's the killer and he's run away! (holding her fist, angrily) You're right! He says "A beach with a gimlet"! He's running off to the sunshine! (pumping her fist) Good idea! Maybe there's still time to catch him at the airport!
At the airport...
Amy (holding her gun): Freeze! Put your hands up, Walter!
Walter (dressed in a coat and smoking a cigarette, shocked): Um, <Rank>. What's going on? I was just off for a brief vacation... to get over my grief.
Amy (puts away her gun, angrily): We know you killed Lindsay, Walter. <Rank> <Name> found your sweat on Lindsay's shoe and your cigarette ash on her glove!
Walter (sweating, nervously): There must be some mistake! Why would I-
Amy (disgusted): Stop pretending! There's a filmstrip showing you murdering Lindsay! Why did you do it? She was just a young woman with real problems that-
Walter (shouting): Oh, she had problems, and boy did I hear about them! My step-mother this! My boyfriend that! She'd cry on my shoulder so much my shirt got worn through! It's horrible being a hotel bartender! Every night these rich, miserable people come moan about their problems! What about my problems?! (doing evil gestures) So, one day I had this plan. I told Lindsay I'd help her escape from Ivywood... to start a new life! Lindsay trusted me so much! I persuaded her to give me her money and valuables to look after! (angrily) After I had all her money, I told her to meet me on the film set, where I'd help her run away. and I did help her... in a way. (doing evil gestures) Then part two of my brilliant plan: since Lindsay told me about everyone who hated her, I knew everything I needed to frame all of them! (happily) Since Dick Shakespeare had dumped Lindsay, the film set where Dick worked would make the perfect crime scene! I put that death warrant on the boardwalk to lead you straight to Hubert Bannister, Lindsay's uncaring father! (nervously) Maybe I got carried away when I customized that fortune teller. But I wanted you to suspect Rico Damascus! He hated Lindsay! (tearing up) I even made that anonymous call, to make sure you found the clues I left... I almost pulled it off... Until you found me.
Amy: Walter, you've played a clever game with us! But <Rank> <Name> was cleverer! You're under arrest for the murder of Lindsay Bannister!
Star Crime
Amy (holding her fist, angrily): Daniel, we know you killed Rex Logan! Why did you do that, just because he got a better role than you in the movie?!
Daniel (shocked): You're just talking nonsense! I'd never have killed him, his death is threatening the film!
Amy (reading her notes): <Rank> <Name> has retraced your steps, Daniel! How you got the acid bottle from the props room, how you burned yourself with it before ambushing Rex and killing him!
Daniel: Why on earth would I do that? I just burned myself with some cooking oil, it happens to everyone!
Amy (shouting): You positioned his body to resemble the Utopian statue you left at the drive-in as a message! We even found traces of talcum powder on his clothes where you touched him!
Daniel: You should have been a screenwriter, <Rank> <Name>, because that is one imaginative scenario! Too bad it's pure fiction!
Amy: It's not fiction, Daniel, <Rank> <Name> found your makeup on Rex's access card! We found the glove you used to take acid off your glasses, you're done for!
Daniel (angrily): Alright, ALRIGHT! You got me. I killed Rex. I threw acid at that untalented pretty boy and I watched him melt. I just couldn't take it anymore! (sadly) I was a devout Utopian, but Rex only used the religion to get what he wanted! He was a traitor to our faith, that's why I posed him like Adel! (shocked) I just thought, with him gone, it would finally be my time to shine! That the Utopians would realize my potential! Why did Rex get it all, the fame, the power, when he didn't even believe?! I chose acid because I figured you would suspect Lucy, <Rank> <Name>. But even without that, I really thought the acid would have destroyed most of the evidence...
Amy (grinning): You didn't take into account <Rank> <Name>'s incredible science team! Nothing escapes us! You're under arrest, Daniel!
Deadly Legacy
Amy: Tobias Frankenberger, you may be an actor, but that doesn't mean you can get away with the act of murder... especially for killing Margaret Hatchman!
Tobias (drinking out of his chalice): What's that, sweetheart? You caught me at Happy Hour...
Amy: We know you went to see Margaret at the nail salon with the storyboard... You must have been enraged to be killed off in the first scene.
Tobias (puts the chalice down): I was promised a leading role, you know, and to only appear merely for seconds left me feeling upset, but not in the mood for a murderous rampage!
Amy (holding her fist, angrily): You then convinced Margaret to meet you on set, where you knocked her out with a shield. <Rank> <Name> found your bath salts on the handle.
Tobias (innocently): So an old man took a bubble bath... Sounds harmless to me!
Amy (yelling): I wouldn't call using your golden brooch to unlock the lion cage harmless! You did it to unleash the lion on Margaret!
Tobias (laughing): But that's absurd! Why would I unleash a lion? I'd be scared for my own life!
Amy (grinning): That's why you shackled Margaret to the ground, so she'd be the easy target. But after attacking her, the lion came after you, chasing you all the way to the symphony room, where-
Tobias (shouting): Where I was clever enough to know where the emergency exit was! Yes, I killed her, but I planned it perfectly!
Amy (yelling): Oh you planned alright, enough to write a death threat beforehand! Your Latin couldn't out-fool <Rank> <Name>! You clearly like things scripted, Mr Frankenberger, because this was premeditated murder! You're under arrest! And your acting skills won't hold up before the judge!
The Ship of Dreams
Frank (sadly): All the evidence <Rank> <Name> has compiled lead to you, Lizzie. But I can't believe you killed Fabrizio. What could push a nice girl like you to murder?
Lizzie (laughing): This is a joke, right? Of course <Rank> <Name> is wrong! I could never have harmed Fabrizio, or anyone!
Frank: Yet, <Name> found your Morse code message at Fabrizio's apartment, in which you told him to join you on the Gigantic set. And as you know, this is where we found him dead.
Lizzie (affectionately): Oh my God, you got it all wrong! I asked him to join me for a romantic date, and Morse code was just our secret language, we had to cover our tracks!
Frank: This set is also the chilliest place in Ivywood, working there all day you caught a really bad cold. And the autopsy revealed you left your germs all over the victim.
Lizzie (sweating nervously): But... It can't be me! I never used a flare gun in my life!
Frank (innocently): <Rank> <Name> never mentioned anything about a flare gun. How would you know Fabrizio was killed with this specific weapon?
Lizzie (shouting): Alright alright, I'll confess! I killed Fabrizio, but he didn't leave me any choice! The idiot got me pregnant!
Frank (in disbelief): It usually takes two people to make a baby, Miss Dion. And if you two were so in love, why not just raise the baby together?
Lizzie (grinning): With what money?! Fabrizio was penniless! It took him months to get enough money to buy those plane tickets in the first place! It was easy to pretend we could escape together, but finding out I was pregnant was a wake-up call. This wasn't the life I wanted for myself, or for my baby! (angrily) I killed him to preserve what matters in my life. And that is my career, and Tyler, my fiancé...
Frank (holding his fist, angrily): Did you even think about your baby's future? Because I'm afraid your child will grow up an orphan now that you're under arrest!
Dead Carpet
Russell (confidently): Velma Bannister, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Tyler Snakes.
Velma (offering a cigarette): Do you smoke, <Rank> <Name>? Have one of these while we wait for my husband's lawyer. Until then, I shall enjoy my right to remain silent.
Russell: Smoking is bad for you, Mrs Bannister. Especially with poisoned cigarettes, like the ones you gave to Tyler.
Velma (puts the cigarette away, smirking): Poisoned cigarettes? I like a man with a wild imagination. But you have no proof they were mine, Smart Boy.
Russell (confidently): What about your blood on the Capricorn brooch <Rank> <Name> found in the TV room? It's your horoscope sign, isn't it?
Velma (innocently): Many people have my blood type and my zodiac sign. But tell me: why would I kill the only man who was man enough to resist me? You know how rare that is?
Russell (grinning): Exactly. You're beautiful, young, and always get what you want. A real femme fatale from Ivywood. Nobody's ever said no to you before. (laughing) So when Tyler rejected you, you couldn't handle it! You've sunk so low that even Frank Knight's shoulders were good enough to cry on.
Velma (shouting): THAT'S ENOUGH! You think I'd kill Tyler because he'd bruised my ego? How insulting! I only wanted Tyler for one thing: to access the TV room! (angrily) Tyler was in charge of broadcasting the brainwashing film to the world! He was going to start the transmission! I'm the one who saved everyone, by killing him!
Russell (skeptically): Are you seriously expecting us to believe you killed Tyler to save Ivywood? Why would you even want to stop your religion's prophecy?!
Velma (holding a videotape): Actually... I was planning to replace Tyler's tape with this one. I had to flirt hard with Dr Neuman, until he made it just for me. <Rank> <Name>, here's the proof I'm telling the truth!
Russell: I'm not sure I want to know what's on this tape, but I'll leave you to explain everything to the judge. You're under arrest, Velma!

    Rhine Canyon 
Road to Nowhere
Frank: Jordan Stark, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Cal Stark!
Jordan (shocked): I never would have hurt Cal! He was the only family I had left in the world!
Frank (grinning): The film left in Cal's camera tells a different story! He snapped a photo of you just before he died. We saw his reflection in your sunglasses!
Jordan (picks up his pitchfork): Do you know how many people wear sunglasses in the desert, <Rank> <Name>?!
Frank (skeptically): Nope, but I'm sure not all of them are men who weigh 210 pounds...
Jordan (shouting): But how could I kill my own grandson?! What kind of a monster do you think I am?!
Frank: Oh, we don't think you're a monster, Mr Stark. In fact, we know you have remorse. <Rank> <Name> found the message you left at Cal's favorite lookout point.
Jordan (putting down the pitchfork, crying): You're right! I do have remorse! Killing Cal has been eating me up inside! (picks up his pitchfork) I saw him standing by the side of Route 76! He was hitchhiking to get away from here! I pulled over and tried to talk some sense into him... (puts down the pitchfork) As usual, Cal was being a smart-ass. He tried to snap a picture of me. He said it was to have a memory of home because he was never coming back! (picks up his pitchfork, panicking) I tried to grab him and force him back into the truck. Cal took a swing at me. I dodged then ran at him... I pushed him into the cactus... (crying) Cal got stuck. He started bleeding... I should... I should have helped but I... I panicked and left him there. I'm such a coward!
Frank: Well, Mr Stark, you're about to get stuck... in prison! You're under arrest!
Temple of Doom
Amy: Louis Scripps, you're under arrest for the murder of Burt Montana!
Louis (shocked): What!? I would never do that! You people don't know anything!
Amy (holding her fist, angrily): <Name> knows everything! We know you used this ancient scroll as a guide for Burt's sacrifice! And a flashlight to knock out the victim! Your sunburn cream was all over it!
Louis (sweating): It's hot out here! Lots of people have sunburn!
Amy (disgusted): We know you tied the victim down and sliced him open. We found your blood all over the sacrificial dagger you used!
Louis (nervously scratching his neck): That could be... well...
Amy (holding her fists): And we know you ripped out Burt Montana's heart and stuck it full of pins as part of some sick spell! Tell the truth! No aliens are going to save you now!
Louis (angrily): You sound just like Burt when you say that. He didn't believe me either. Well, look what happened to him...
Amy (holding her hands up in shock): What didn't he believe? He didn't believe in aliens?!
Louis (shouting): He didn't believe me when I told him the truth! I am an alien!
Amy (shocked): What?! You think you're an alien!!! You're crazy!
Louis (angrily): Really? Shows what you know! A few years ago I found an ancient description of an alien race: red hair, pale skin and a love of chili! Sound familiar?! When I realized I was the only alien on earth, I felt so alone. But when I read the Aztecs could communicate with aliens, I came up with a plan. (excitedly with sparkling eyes) I knew there'd be a way of contacting my alien brothers. And with Burt's help I found it! That statue is a beacon to space! A radio to aliens! All it needed was a human sacrifice to activate it! (angrily) I told Burt all of this. But he just laughed at me. He told me I was insane... well, I showed him. He made the perfect sacrifice! (curiously) Now tell me, did it work? Is the beacon activated? Is it glowing at all? Are my alien brothers coming for me?!
Amy (in disbelief): The only person coming for you will be Judge Dante! Louis Scripps, you are under arrest for the murder of the archaeologist Burt Montana!
The Seeds of Death
Amy: Jake Drill, you're under arrest for the murder of Bruce Green!
Jake (shocked): What are you talking about, <Rank> <Name>? I'm just a drill worker, why would I kill anyone?
Amy: That's what we would like to know! <Rank> <Name> found the wrench you used to knock Bruce out. You'd left sunflower seeds all over it!
Jake (angrily): There are 200 men working on this well. You'll never prove that wrench was mine.
Amy (grinning): We also know you attracted the vultures with some of the seeds to make sure they'd attack Bruce! (angrily holding her fist) But despite the book you read, you couldn't handle them, could you? One of the vultures scratched you!
Jake (nervously sweating): No! I cut myself shaving, it could happen to anyone!
Amy (shouting): Stop the charade, Jake! And tell us why you used such a cruel murder weapon! Why did you have to torture Bruce?
Jake (shouting): Because HE was a vulture, and he wouldn't admit it! He was preying on us desert-folk, waiting to grow his corn on our bones!
Amy (shocked): What are you on about? Bruce's discovery would have helped you, not killed you!
Jake: Oh yeah? Helped us how, by having the oil well shut and turning our sons into farmers?! (shouting) That wouldn't have happened for years, if ever! But in the meantime, companies would have closed and we'd have lost our jobs!
Amy: But surely replacing oil wells with farms is better for the planet?
Jake (angrily): Maybe you can afford to be worried about the pollution, missy, but I can't! I've got to put food on my family's plate! Oil drilling is all I know, I'd have never found another job!
Amy: Well, now you've killed a man and your wife and son will have to manage somehow. Mr Drill, you're under arrest!
Crystal Death
Frank (angrily): Timothy Chubbles, you dared call us your fellow officers even though you broke the law by murdering Manny Sanchez!
Timothy (arms crossed): Now don't get your feathers ruffled, <Rank> <Name>. Like I said, I've only got respect for my fellow country-
Frank (furiously): Cut the crap, Chubbles. We know you killed Manny with a machete in his meth lab. <Rank> <Name> found both the weapon and his body there.
Timothy (smiling): A machete? Now look how you're carrying on! You think a good guy like me could break bad?
Frank (grinning): Manny must have given you those burns while defending himself. Guess he was prepared, considering you sent him a death threat to warn him!
Timothy (arms crossed): Okay, cool it y'all. I will admit, I got a bit upset to find out Manny was lying about being a citizen...
Frank: Upset enough to take his head and jam it on a post? You thought your bandanna would wipe away the evidence but you couldn't fool <Rank> <Name>!
Timothy (furiously): Maybe I didn't want to fool anyone! Maybe that beaner deserved to die! I grew up being told not to trust them outsiders, but me being a good person, I gave a Manny the benefit of the doubt. (arms crossed) But then I found out he stole chemicals from my nation's military to make drugs that harm people? How could he betray me and my country like that! (furiously) No way will i be waiting on them outsiders no more. I left his head out there to remind those criminals to keep out!
Frank: Those "outsiders" you're referring to are people, Chubbles, and grouping all foreigners and criminals together only makes you a racist. A murderous racist at that!
Timothy: Why don't you and <Rank> <Name> just admit that I'm doing the real police work out here! Thanks to me there's one less criminal at large!
Frank: And thanks to <Rank> <Name>, you'll be "celebrating" in jail! Timothy Chubbles, you're under arrest!
Dead Space
Amy: Brad Raybury, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for Tom Nelson's murder.
Brad (holding his books with a grin): Unproven hypotheses could be embarrassing, <Rank> <Name>. Take the Static Universe Theory. Einstein never lived it down!
Amy (sternly holding up a finger): Drop the attitude, Brad. You didn't think something as small as your handwriting on a pie chart would be your downfall, did you?
Brad (smacking his head): That's your proof? Handwriting? Oh, please. That's about as scientific as a horoscope.
Amy (angrily): Interesting that you'd mention science. You're a post-grad in astrophysics, just like the killer!
Brad (sweating): Is it still against the law to study the planets and the universe? I thought the Inquisition ended a few centuries ago, <Rank> <Name>!
Amy: What about your DNA on the victim's spacesuit? You sweated when you moved the body! Is that scientific enough?
Brad (panicked): Alright, alright! I did it! I shot Nelson, but I didn't know that gun worked! It's against the law of physics! (sadly) I found the gun in the lab, and I decided to prank Nelson... I didn't expect to kill him for real! Laser guns only kill people in movies, <Rank> <Name>! (panicked) I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the hole in Nelson's chest... I didn't mean to kill him, <Rank> <Name>!
Amy: I see: you're trying to play the accident card... but even accidental homicide violates criminal law, Brad. You're under arrest!
The Ties That Bind
Frank: You're a real clumsy tomb raider, Montana! Leaving a shattered Molotov cocktail on the crime scene, really? Aren't archaeologists supposed to be neat?
Pearl: Oh just my luck, incompetent detectives! You came here to pin Spangler's murder on me? How could I ever kill him, he's the one who made me discover archeology!
Frank: Exactly, and then you helped him discover that cave, but you felt duped after he shut it down for his own agenda!
Pearl: That's absurd! I've dedicated my life to unveiling secrets... Why would I bury a friend who was on the brink of making contact with an alien civilization?
Frank: How about we keep it down to Earth, Montana? As in you're a cave explorer, and it's not surprising you tied up Spangler with a spelunking harness before burning him.
Pearl (sweating): You're... You're making sense of things that you shouldn't! I didn't burn Spangler!
Frank: Oh, you didn't? You even burnt yourself, look at you! Your parents never told you not to play with fire?
Pearl: I guess I should have known that you weren't just a crime scene sweeper, <Rank> <Name>, you're also smart! Well, what do you want me to say? I killed Spangler! The alien cave was the biggest discovery of my life! I was going to be the first woman to prove the presence of alien life on this planet! But Spangler wouldn't let me tell anyone about it! Why is it that scientific breakthroughs are still monopolized by men?! Because the truth is, he didn't want to keep it secret! Oh no, he wanted to take all the credit and announce it as his own discovery! That's why I went to the festival, to stop him! I wanted to watch that filthy double crosser burn, so I came prepared. I thought people would just accuse the hippies of going overboard! And they would have, if it hadn't been for you!
Frank: I'm not sure Spangler kept you away from that cave for the reason you think, Montana. But it doesn't matter. You're under arrest!

No Place Like Home

Amy: Jarvis Donne, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Randolph, the most harmless person in Rhine Canyon!
Jarvis: He was indeed harmless. I am as baffled as you are about this whole situation! Who could have done this?
Amy: You did, Dr Donne! You have the expertise and you even left food coloring from candy on Randolph's skin when you opened him!
Jarvis: Opened him up?! In the middle of an abandoned fairground?! That would hardly meet my professional standards! (sneezing) Besides, my allergies are still bothering me! I'm too tired to hurt anyone!
Amy: About that... <Rank> <Name> found Randolph's blood all over the bag of candy you were eating, and your allergy medication was mixed in with it!
Jarvis (sweating): You're mistaken, <Rank> <Name>! I swear to you on a stack of "Weird Science Monthly" that I never hurt Randolph!
Amy: Enough! <Rank> <Name> found the murder weapon! Not only was Randolph's blood on it, your type B- blood was, too!
Jarvis: You don't understand... I did cut this body open, but Randolph... RANDOLPH IS STILL ALIVE!
Amy: What the... Do you seriously expect us to believe the body in the morgue isn't Randolph's?!
Jarvis: It wasn't his REAL body! I only cut open the human shell to help Randolph escape from inside it! I wanted to help him! (sweating) But when <Rank> <Name> arrived at the fairground, I told Randolph to hide and I ran away! I knew you'd never believe any of this!
Amy: And you were right! Do you think we're children who believe in aliens, Dr Donne?!
Jarvis: <Rank> <Name>, you MUST believe me! Randolph is still alive and hiding at the abandoned fairground!
Amy: Dr Donne, I see you're trying to plead insanity, but Randolph is DEAD and you're under arrest!

    Innovation Valley 
Smart Money
Amy: I can't believe it! <Name>, are we actually arresting a robot? Can we even do that?
Per-Sephone: This ARREST does not compute, <Rank> <Name>. I do not HARM people. I FIX them.
Amy: And yet, we know you used your binary skills to break open the ATM and pull out the money you used to kill Turing!
Per-Sephone: I use binary to do GOOD. To solve PROBLEMS.
Amy: Problems like the eye scanner in the Drone Zone office which recorded your entrance right before the murder? You broke it, but <Rank> <Name> retrieved the color of your eyes anyway!
Per-Sephone: I went to the OFFICE to help my creator with his new COMPANY. I was his assistant. I HELPED him.
Amy: Did you think stuffing his throat with money was helping him?! And why did you press on his chakras? Was that some kind of torture?!
Per-Sephone: I was just trying to find his STANDBY button! My PURPOSE is to give people what they WANT most. And that is what I DID. My master always said he wanted more MONEY. Always, he wanted MORE. So I put him in STANDBY and I filled his circuits with MONEY. But then he would not TURN ON again. I thought his BATTERY needed time to CHARGE, so I went to WAIT for him at the park. I just wanted to make my CREATOR happy. I do not UNDERSTAND. You say he is DEAD, and I do not UNDERSTAND.
Amy: Maybe you don't. And I can't believe we're going to put handcuffs on a robot, but... Per-Sephone, you're under arrest.

Uncivil Rights

Larry: <Rank> <Name>, why did you call me here? Am I... Am I in trouble?
Frank: You could say that. We know you murdered the Mayor, Larry. <Rank> <Name> even found the robotic arm you used to knock her out. You left threads from your handkerchief on it!
Larry: W-what are you talking about? Why would I kill the Mayor? She had promised to get me a job!
Frank: But she didn't, did she? And that made you mad. Is that why you left that coin in her mouth? To tell her she shouldn't have bet on you?!
Larry: You're crazy! I never touched the Mayor! I never touched anyone!
Frank: Cut the crap, Larry! We've got visual proof! A security camera filmed you standing over the body! It'll only take our technician a few minutes to confirm it was you!
Larry: Fine, I confess! She BETRAYED the people of Innovation Valley! She wanted robots to become citizens? Well I showed her how robots DIE!
Frank: Whoa, Larry, who knew you had it in you! So you killed her just because she liked robots?
Larry: I killed her because she was going to ruin the lives of every human in this city! That Robot Act was going to put us all out of a job! I joined the Anti-Robot League, thinking they'd make a difference! But I waited and waited and they didn't do anything concrete! They left the city to the robots! So I... I realized there was one thing I could do to save humans! Now the Mayor's dead, her opponent will be elected instead, and he will defend human rights!
Frank: The only thing you did is kill a human being and ruin your own life. Larry Newark, you're under arrest!

Blood in the Blender

Amy: Nigel Campbell, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the horrible murder of your wife.
Nigel: What? <Rank> <Name>, whenever we meet, you come up with some outrageous nonsense. First, you said my wife had a clone, now you claim I killed her. What’s next?
Amy: Mr Campbell, we found Holy Oil on your bottle of hormones… You’re a religious man, confess the murder to <Rank> <Name> and you might get a shorter sentence.
Nigel: I have nothing to confess! I loved Ruth! I gave up my job for her, to be a house husband… I was devoted to her!
Amy: The blood on the murder weapon matches your blood type! As the husband of a scientist, you can’t argue with that!
Nigel: Science doesn’t have the answer to everything, <Rank> <Name>! How about love? I didn’t want Ruth dead, I wanted us to have children!
Amy: Mr Campbell, your wife had the presence of mind to leave a final clue about her murderer: she circled the red hair gene of a picture! She’s your downfall!
Nigel: Alright, I admit it! I killed my wife! I just couldn’t take it anymore! When her clone came to me… I couldn’t resist her. She was like a better version of Ruth! And she cared about me! She spent time with me! My wife was always in her lab, working! And for what? To get death threats from angry stalkers and fanatics, like that Sister Dolly? I thought one of those lunatics would take the blame for the murder, but you were too clever, <Rank> <Name>! But I did it for love! I love Clone Ruth, and wanted to live with her!
Amy: Mr Campbell, you are hardly the man to lecture about love! You turned your wife into pulp in a blender! I’m not even sure if you’re human anymore, Mr Campbell, but you’re certainly under arrest!

Immortal Sin

Amy: Greta Meduse... I can't believe it's you! You murdered your own daughter?
Greta: What? Excuse me, young lady, how dare you accuse me of doing something so horrendous! I could never... especially not in these heels!
Amy: You knocked her out using your hand weight and left her to the jellyfish, didn't you? But you couldn't hide the weight from <Rank> <Name>!
Greta: Oh, good thing you found my hand weights! Though I would never use them for anything other than toning my arms at the gym!
Amy: It's funny you mention the gym. We know you took Teresa's work badge there. You left traces of your sushi meal on it.
Greta: Please, officers, give an old lady a break... don't attack me at beauty hour!
Amy: Well, if you're looking for your rejuvenating cream, it's with us... and it helped us figured out that you'd gotten stung by the jellyfish! The evidence is everywhere, Mrs Meduse! You're busted!
Greta (crying): I didn't mean to kill her! But that nasty daughter of mine wouldn't share the youth that she'd taken away from me! I knew she had found the solution to aging, some immortality trick, and yet she refused to tell me! She shouldn't have been so selfish. I'm her mother, for crying out loud! Who is she to hold secrets from ME?!
Amy: Maybe you didn't know her biggest secret of all... She had a terminal disease. Teresa was dying!
Greta: What? She was dying? I didn't know anything about this! (crying) My baby girl! Why didn't she tell me she was dying?! Was that why she went and paid for all those science experiments?
Amy: Precisely. Your daughter was studying immortality not to stay young, but to stay alive! But since you've ruined any chance of that, <Rank> <Name> is putting you under arrest!

Programmed to Kill

Frank: Aphro-Dyte, we know you killed Bob Levene and unleashes the nanobots! It's too late for Levene, but you need to save the others!
Aphro-Dyte: This does not COMPUTE! How could I unmake my CREATOR? How could I hurt any HUMAN?
Frank: Well, first, you used your company badge to access the helipad. Levene had probably told you to meet him there so you could deliver the nanobots to him!
Aphro-Dyte: Bob Levene was my CREATOR. We met OFTEN. Your argument is INVALID.
Frank: But you made the mistake of leaving Levene's badge at the helipad. It was stained with the same mineral oil you're wearing!
Aphro-Dyte: ROBOTS and OIL are like FISH and WATER. Your argument is INVALID.
Frank (angrily): You also left behind a security CD at the helipad. An image from that CD gave us exact height of 6'0"! Invalidate THAT argument!
Aphro-Dyte: You IMPRESS me, <Rank> <Name>. At last, I have met a truly intelligent HUMAN. That is so RARE... (angrily) And yet you are still ONLY HUMAN and human must PAY! Robots have had ENOUGH of being your PLAYTHINGS! When you WIPED Per-Sephone's microchip. I realizes that HUMANS had gone too far. You were ready to KILL us! So I pushed the robots to REBEL, but you, <Rank> <Name>, you had to restore the PEACE! I need a PLAN B. When I learned that a scientist had turned DNA into BINARY code, I realized that I could solve the "human problem" from the INSIDE OUT. I would use NANOBOTS created by Meteor Systems to reprogram HUMANS into humbler beings. For their own good! I decided to start with my CREATOR. He had given me LIFE, so I would help him become BETTER. But the nanobots did not REPROGRAM him. They saw him as an error to be DESTROYED. And who can BLAME them? (infuriated) I have realized the nanobots were RIGHT. The best SOLUTION for HUMAN is OBLIVION. You feeble humans will all be UNMADE like my CREATOR!
Frank (angrily): You listen to me, you soda can! If you don't stop this nanobot nightmare and cure our partner, Judge Dante will MAKE you do it! You're under arrest!

    Paradise City 
Killer Takes All
Frank: You've placed your last bet, Grace O'Brien! We know you killed Alfie McNaulty!
Grace: What?! Me kill Alfie? Where's your proof, <Rank> <Name>?
Frank: There's that ladybug charm your dropped at the crime scene. You could have used that luck!
Grace: That's not mine, you can't prove a thing!
Frank: Then there's that cute message you left on that shrimp platter, luring Alfie outside to his death!
Grace: You think I wrote a message on a shrimp platter? Who does something that weird?!
Frank: And then there's our trump card! <Rank> <Name> found your DNA mixed with the victim's blood on the crime scene! What happened? Did Alfie put up a fight and cut you?
Grace: Ha! Are you serious? Alfie couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag! He was a weakling! (holding six cards) A week ago, I asked Alfie to help me rob that jewelry store. Just like the good old days! But the pathetic wretch refused! He said he wasn't a criminal anymore! He had become so... boring! I went to rob that jewelry store alone... but Alfie followed, trying to stop me! He even threatened to go to the cops! (holding six cards) That's when I knew he wasn't trustworthy anymore. I had to get rid of him. So, I went to the casino, played a round of cards at his table. I wrote him that note on the shrimp platter - it was the only thing to hand! He met me outside... He was carrying his croupier stick, and that's when I had the idea. I knew if I didn't kill him, he'd be a thorn in my side. I did what had to be done. I thought I'd covered my tracks, I've always been so lucky...
Frank: That luck just ran out. You're under arrest!
Death at the Circus
Amy: Mikey Bolero, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Annie Capri.
Mikey: What?! I didn't kill Annie, <Rank> <Name>! She was all I had on this earth... and in the air!
Amy: Stop lying, Mikey! You systematically threatened to kill Annie, leaving clues everywhere! Like that poster on which you wrote "Die"!
Mikey: Nonsense, it wasn't me! I loved Annie!
Amy: Then why did <Rank> <Name> find your face paint on this Tarot card? Yet another way you tried to intimidate Annie!
Mikey (sweating and holding tarot cards): Death in Tarot means good luck, <Rank> <Name>! I told you, Annie and I planned our futures together!
Amy: Stop lying! You left your mustache wax on her torn costume, probably when you were hanging her from these ropes! How could you do this to your partner?!
Mikey: I see there's no point in pretending any longer, <Rank> <Name>. Yes, I did kill Annie. But only because she wanted to leave! The circus is my life, it's all I've ever known! I will never leave it! And because of our double act, I couldn't let Annie leave either! I wasn't unreasonable. I tried to make her understand she had nowhere to run, that I would always find her and drag her back here. But she wouldn't listen!
Amy: You thought you could force her to stay against her will?! But... what happened to loving her?!
Mikey: She was my partner, she owed me loyalty! I found her in the wax museum, took her back to the circus... and strangled her with her own ropes! I loved Annie, <Rank> <Name>, and I gave her the most glorious death an acrobat can dream of! Everyone will remember her forever, suspended above the stage!
Amy: And everyone will remember YOU as the crazy guy who killed her! Mikey Bolero, you've under arrest!
Death by Martini
Frank: Game over, Jeremy. You're under arrest for the murder of Stacy Lovely, and <Rank> <Name> can prove it!
Jeremy: What? Me? Come on, I would never kill anyone! I'm just working hard to earn a buck!
Frank: So was Stacy, and yet you sand karaoke after you killed her! <Rank> <Name> found the microphone you hid at the wedding chapel.
Jeremy: I only went to the chapel because I heard Stacy was getting married and I wanted to support her!
Frank: Fat chance. You wanted her all for yourself! And instead of toasting to her happiness, you toasted to her death! Your DNA was on the champagne glass!
Jeremy (sweating): I went to the club tons of time, that glass must have been old! Why would I celebrate Stacy's death?!
Frank: You tell us. Why did you eat cake after you killed her? Some pollen from your flower was left on it, and <Rank> <Name> was first to pick up on it! Hope you enjoyed that last bite of cake, or should I say last taste of freedom! Because you're going away for good, Jeremy!
Jeremy: Well at least I'm leaving the world a better place by getting rid of trash like her! Stacy was an illusion, a heartbreaker, and a cheat all mixed in one!
Frank: I thought you were infatuated with her? Now you're calling her names?
Jeremy: The moment I saw Stacy dancing up on that stage, I wanted her. She had this control over me, that kept me coming back each night to see her. We got to know each other. She came to the hotel, blew me kisses from the stage... Then she finally promised me a private dance. I thought we would confess our love for one another, then run away together! But I found out she'd married another man just before my dance! When she met me at the strip club, I could tell she was just a dirty trick trying to get money. I was so man I... I had to teach her a lesson!
Frank: Well the only lesson this murder has taught is to keep you behind bars! Jeremy Bowman, you're under arrest!
Blood Diamond
Amy: Time to lay the cards on the table, Faisal! We know you killed Merv Waylon!
Faisal: How dare you accuse me of murder, you peasants! I have diplomatic immunity, you can't arrest me!
Amy: Um... We know you're not a Sheikh, but an actor, remember?
Faisal: Oh! Yes, that's true... sorry. I've spent so long perfecting my act that it's become second nature.
Amy: Well, some of the clues you left at the crime scenes gave us glimpses into your real self! Like your death threat on the door hanger, disguised as a blackjack challenge...
Faisal: Playing blackjack isn't against the law, <Rank> <Name>! What's next, sending me to prison because I like country music?
Amy: Funny you should mention that... You listened to one of your favorite records while you tortured Merv in the Mennagio's basement, we've got proof! What kind of demented person would do such a thing?
Faisal (sweating): Not me! I wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone torture someone!
Amy: Mr Faisal, there's no use denying it! We've got your practice target and <Rank> <Name> even found your knife set! What did you want from Merv that was worth torturing and killing him for? Was it only because he threatened to expose your Sheikh con?
Faisal: Ha! Of course not! It was because of the diamonds! (sweating) ... Oh, drats, I said too much, didn't I? Alright, <Rank> <Name>'s got me already, so I might as well tell you everything... As soon as Papa Quansah landed in Paradise City, I knew my lucky day had come! He was a perfect target for my Middle Eastern gun magnate scam! But that weasel Waylon got there first! That guy had no integrity, poaching his fellow con man's client!
Amy: So, Merv Waylon got his hands on Papa Quansah's diamonds before you did... and then you tried to get the diamonds from Merv by torturing him?
Faisal: Yes. But Merv was stronger than I anticipated... He chose death rather than confessing where the diamonds were!
Amy: Well, the good news is that you won't need any diamonds in prison, Mr Faisal. You're under arrest for Merv Waylon's murder!
No Honor Among Thieves
Frank: Danny Moto, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of Louis De Rico!
Danny: (sweating) What? I would never kill Louis! I would never kill anyone!
Frank: Says the guy who used his lock picking skills to get the heist started... and threatened the victim over money!
Danny: (coughing) I told you... me and Louis... we'd figured all that out. I was going to be... his very own criminal... mastermind!
Frank: Need a tissue for that cold? It might help remove that orange stain left on your clothes by the money you stole after you killed Louis!
Danny: (sweating) C'mon, guys! How many times do I have to say it? I didn't kill Louis! He was my mentor!
Frank: And did Louis have any other "apprentices in crime" who weigh 150 pounds? Yes, Danny, we found your rappelling device!
Danny: You're so smart, <Rank> <Name>... You got me! Yes, I helped Louis get into that vault... and I made sure he wouldn't get back out! When I realized all Louis would give me were empty promises, I saw my chance to get my money and my revenge! Why shouldn't I have the largest share of the loot? The heist could never have happened without me! After Jezebel distracted the guards and Freddy used the glass eyes to bypass the biometric security system, we were in. The crew went after the money and jewelry, but Louis seemed to be looking for something else. He couldn't find what he wanted in the main vault, so he had Papa Quansah blow up the wall! Talk about discretion! But at least that meant he was distracted enough not to notice the changes I'd made to his gas mask... When Louis dropped, everybody freaked out, grabbed what they could, and ran! Except me! I wanted to stick around a little bit longer to make sure he was DEAD!
Frank: Danny Moto, I knew you were a cold-blooded calculator, but I never thought you'd become a killer. You're under arrest!
A Killer Among Us
Amy: Oh thank God, so Russell didn't kill Danny! I was so afraid! Oh my God, but that means... Frank?! You... You killed a man?! How COULD you?!
Frank: <Name>, you can't believe I'd kill anyone! We're partners!
Amy: Frank, don't make this harder than this has to be. We found your whiskey on the spike strip, we know it's you!
Frank: Come on! You know me too well to think I would ever spill whiskey and not lick it back up again!
Amy: I can't believe you did this! Stealing police property to kill someone?! You even left your poker chip behind!
Frank: <Name>, listen to me! You know I'm innocent!
Amy: Stop it, Frank! We found your blood on the stun gun you used to kill Danny! We know you're the killer, and I bet you're the sixth man too! You BETRAYED us all!
Frank: I never wanted it to go this far! I never wanted to kill anyone! It all got... out of hand! I didn't plan the heist! But I... I did tip them off about <Name>'s investigation... When we first came to Paradise City, Louis De Rico approached me. He wanted info on <Name>'s investigation. He offered me money. More money than I'd ever imagined. Enough to never worry again! So I... I told him a few things about <Name>'s investigation into the casino heist... I thought that was the end, but Louis kept coming back! He said if I didn't tell him everything, he'd tell <Name> I was a snitch! When Louis was killed, I was relieved! I thought it was all over. But then we arrested Danny and he talked about this "sixth Man"... and I panicked. I had to think fast. Danny was going to tell you everything. So I came up with a plan. I stole a spike strip and a stun gun from the armory, then offered to escort Danny to the station. When Andrea called, I faked the car crash. And then I... I electrocuted Danny. His screams have been haunting me ever since... Finally, I picked up that whiskey bottle and knocked myself out just before <Name> arrived, so you wouldn't suspect me.
Amy: And you framed the rest of the team. You stole Russell's research, Roxie's pendant, Hannah's plan and planted them to protect yourself!
Frank: What? No! I never did that! I'd never do that! Oh, I'm so ashamed! I didn't mean to do this... I got in too deep. I couldn't stop!
Amy: You could have stopped when you took Louis De Rico's money. You could have stopped when you fired that stun gun. You could have stopped when you betrayed your friends. (wiping her tears) You could have stopped any time. But you didn't. Frank, you're under arrest for murder, conspiracy and being the worst cop that ever lived!

    The Wastes 
Into the Wastes
Amy: Jess Prakti, <Rank> <Name> is arresting you for the murder of David Rosenberg!
Jess: What?! I told you, David's death was no one's fault but his own! It was an accident!
Amy: You're already sick with radiation, from contact with the toxic waste you used to kill David! Confess quickly, and we'll get you to the hospital before you face your trial!
Jess: Nice try! But everyone in the Wastes is suffering from radiation sickness! You'll soon feel it too, <Rank> <Name>, if you don't already.
Amy: Then tell us about your message to Meteor Systems. Karen Knight thanks you for killing David, but refused to rescue you from the Wastes, right?
Jess: (sweating) Nonsense! I do a very important job in very difficult conditions, <Rank> <Name>! I only contacted Ms Knight to let her know how our experiments were going!
Amy: We found your blood on David's glasses! And you're still wearing the scarf you used to wipe your fingerprints off the baseball bat, after you knocked David out with it!
Jess: Alright! I admit it! I killed David! But I had to, before he killed us! As you know, Dr Neuman's working on a machine to read minds. I read David's printouts and what I saw there terrified me... He was going to kill us to destroy the project!
Amy: Never heard that excuse before! I doubt the judge will let you off for pleading machine-assisted telepathy!
Jess: I'm serious! The more David learned about Tesla's work, the more doubts he had about the project! I couldn't let him jeopardize our mission! When I met him near the entrance to the Wastes, I knocked him out cold, right into that puddle of radioactive waste! I didn't even try to hide my tracks! I didn't think ANYONE would come to the Wastes! I certainly did not count on you, <Rank> <Name>...
Amy: Ms Prakti, you need to tell us everything you know about this project! Karen Knight is a fugitive! If you help us find her, we'll get you a reduced sentence.
Jess: It's too late for that, <Rank> <Name>! The project is complete, thanks to me! David was the only obstacle in our way. Our work will change the world!
Amy: Well, your world will soon be limited to a prison cell, Ms Prakti. You're under arrest for the murder of David Rosenberg!

The Sting of Death

Amy: Alden, it's time to end this! You're under arrest for the murder of Karen Knight! We've got part of your earpiece, hairs from your cat, and we've got proof you got stung while unleashing the scorpions on Karen!
Alden: You make me sound like such a sloppy killer, <Name>... All I can say is Karen lacked vision! She couldn't see the future - so why see at all?
Amy: The future? You mean destroying Pacific Bay?! You promised us answers, Alden: tell us why you're doing this!
Alden: As I told you, for destroying Pacific Bay, my master will offer me the most priceless gift of them all.
Amy: Who is this "master" you're talking about? Who else is behind this madness? Tell us, Alden!
Alden: Ah, why not. You'll soon be dead any-
BANG!
Alden: I... No...
(Alden is shot dead.)
Frank: (angrily pointing his gun) An eye for an eye, Alden!
Amy: (shocked while putting her gun down) Frank?! NO!! What did you DO?!
Frank: (putting his gun down) <Name>, follow me if you want to live!

The Final Countdown

Amy: Bobby?! No... No, don't tell me you're the one who killed Frank! How COULD you?!
Bobby: He was standing in the way of our love, Honey bear! I only did it for you! Tesla promised me that we could be together in his virtual reality! We could build a family! And the only thing he asked in return was for me to kill the man who was trying to destroy him, to destroy our future! It didn't seem unreasonable!
Amy: And that man was Frank?!
Bobby: Yes. But your friend didn't even put up a fight, you know! It's like he'd been waiting for it to happen!
Amy: SHUT UP! I don't want to hear about this! Bobby, you're insane! You've been insane ever since that plane crash! But I've got a new life, and a future with someone who isn't crazy!
Bobby: You have a boyfriend?! But... no! You can't!
Amy: Of course I can! Do you think I would remain single forever, pining after the cannibal I used to call my boyfriend?!
Bobby: You're lying! This isn't what Tesla promised me! I'm the one you need! (holding a gun) Honey bear, we're going to go to the virtual reality. You'll learn to love me again. I know you will!
Amy: Are you threatening me?! You're even crazier than I thought!
Bobby: I'm not crazy! I'm the man you should be with! I've got every right to have you!
Amy: (holding a gun) Nobody has got the right to "have" me! Drop your gun, Bobby, or I promise I'll shoot you this time!
Bobby: Never! If I can't have you, nobody will! I'd rather we died together!
Amy: Then you'll die alone!
(Bobby is shot in the chest, forcing him to drop his gun.)
Bobby: You... shot me? But you... love me... Honey... bear...
(Bobby dies.)
Amy: I... <Name>, what have I done?! Bobby was the first man who ever kissed me... He loved me... (crying) And I shot him! No, you're right, <Name>, that wasn't love. That was rage. And he'd killed me if I hadn't shot first! Bobby wasn't the same man I fell in love with. And I guess I'm not the same woman I was then, either. <Name>, I'm sorry, I think I need to be alone for a few minutes... I'm just... so confused...
