LAURA: I think someone's following me! Get to the lab now!
SELENA: Hold on, Laura. We're coming!
At Helex Technologies
SELENA: Laura, where are you?
LAURA: Right here!
SELENA: Oh, you're unharmed. You had us worried there.
LAURA: I'm sorry. I thought someone was following me, but I'm unsure now.
SELENA: You're unsure? Why?
LAURA: I don't know… I just left Lawrence's office when I saw someone looking at me, but I couldn't tell who it was.
SELENA: Well, please stick around. We'll have to talk to you about the details.
…
SELENA: Well, Laura is extremely worried. It's best to let her wait before we talk to her. Woman's insinuation.
SELENA: You're right. She was in Lawrence's office for something. Let's go take a look there for a reason as to why she was there.
(Investigate Lawrence's Desk)
CLUES: Tablet, Faded Letter, Broken Pieces of Metal
SELENA: Alright, what did we find on our second look-around?
SELENA: A tablet? Now who could this belong too? We'll have to unlock it and find out.
SELENA: This letter is faded. A brush up can be good for it.
SELENA: How did we miss these pieces the first time? I doubt we would've miss it. Let's fix it.
SELENA: Alright, let's get this done. I'm sure we'll find something soon that leads to the killer.
(Examine Tablet)
UNLOCK TABLET
SELENA: Great work, let's send this to Brad to see who it belongs too.
(Analyze Tablet)
BRAD: Ah, you humans keep giving me these childish things to look at. It's amusing.
SELENA: Quit your arrogance and give us who it belongs too.
BRAD: Hmph, fine, it belongs to the co-CEO of the law firm, Sasha Killian.
SELENA: Killian? Why was his tablet in his office?
BRAD: I don't know, but I did found something… saucy.
SELENA: And what is that exactly?
BRAD: You know, considering how easy it was to solve it, I figure I let you solve it.
BRAD: I got a picture from the device and scramble it. Solve it and you'll get a clue to Killian.
SELENA: What?! Why are you taunting us like this?
BRAD: Come on, amuse me. It shouldn't take you that long.
SELENA: Fine, but this won't stand! Let's solve this.
(Examine picture)
UNCOVER PHOTO
BRAD: Well done. I told you it would be easy.
SELENA: Yeah, yeah, you young bastard. I will- woah! Is that Killian and Lori making out?
BRAD: Yes, it is. I found video evidence showing them on dates. You might want to talk to the love struck mortal about this.
SELENA: You got a point. Thanks for making us go through all that trouble. Let's chat with him.
(Speak to Killian about dating the victim)
SASHA: Ugh, what do you want? I'm busy dealing with – Achoo! - the flu.
SELENA: First off, missing this tablet.
SASHA: Ah, I did. Thanks.
SELENA: Great, now how about you tell us about dating the victim?
SASHA: Ah, I see… you found those photos, huh?
SELENA: Yes. Care to tell us anything about it.
SASHA: Блядь!
SASHA: Look, we met when Lou introduce us to each other. It was stingy between us, at first.
SASHA: However, while I was busy sneaking into Lou's office, she was there with a bottle of the finest vodka.
SASHA: I know that's stereotypical, but I love a woman who loves vodka and she really liked it.
SASHA: Eventually, we talked more and more and eventually, we realized that we had a lot in common. We became lovers.
SASHA: I… me and her loved each other and her death is a major bane to me. We were just about to break it to Lou when this happened.
SELENA: Lou didn't know about it?
SASHA No, he didn't, and he won't anymore. She was busy with some mission and I tried to get her out of it, but she didn't listen.
SELENA: I feel sorry for you, but you realize we can't take you at your word, correct?
SASHA: I know, but I'm innocent. I'll stay in town until you're done investigating.
SASHA KILLIAN'S PROFILE: Has the flu and has access to Paige's Office.
(Examine Faded Papers)
REVEAL MESSAGE
SELENA: Good work. It's a message to Lawrence Ray from Lori.
SELENA: The subject matter on the other hand is about Sunny and she was openly against having him on board!
SELENA: She kept saying that the robot was untrustworthy and he had to be rejected.
SELENA: I guess that explains why Lawrence has been hesitant to hire Sunny… the person who recommended not taking him on board suddenly dying is very suspicious.
SELENA: Let's go talk to Sunny about this. See if he ever knew about this.
(Speak to Sunny about the victim being against him.)
SUNNY: Hello, friends! Sunny is HAPPY to see you again!
SELENA: Uh, hey! Listen, we found this letter. Did you knew about this?
SUNNY: Huh? This LETTER… is that why Sunny hasn't heard anything yet from Helex Technologies. Is the woman RESPONSIBLE?
SELENA: She's dead.
SUNNY: DEAD! Oh no, that's why Sunny hasn't HEARD anything? Oh no. Oh no. Oh-
SUNNY: Achoo!
SELENA: What the… did you just sneeze?
SUNNY: Oh… Sunny downloaded a VIRUS earlier and it's wreaking havoc on Sunny's senses and that mucus that humans left behind under that bench is annoying Sunny.
SELENA: Downloading what?
SUNNY: Just some SCHEMATICS for key cards for Killian and Paige Law Firm and Helex Technologies. Sunny heard that REPAIRING keycards are a COMMON thing to do and needed to know how to FIX it.
SELENA: Uh… I'm not sure if that is illegal or not. I need to look that up….
SUNNY: Please, figure out who KILLED the woman. Sunny wants this job and Sunny can't get it until the murder is solved.
SELENA: We will. Until then, stick around. We may have to talk to you later.
SUNNY: Sunny Knows Sunny is still a suspect. *Sigh*
SUNNY'S PROFILE: Has the flu and has access to Paige's Office.
(Examine Pile of Metal Pieces)
RECOVER MOLECULE STATUE
SELENA: Good work. You fixed that statue of a molecule!
SELENA: Wait… didn't we talk to Laura about a molecule statue before?
SELENA: You're right, this must be hers and we definitely didn't forget this the first time. Let's go talk to her about this broken statue.
(Speak to Laura about the broke statue)
SELENA: Hey, Laura, is this statue yours.
LAURA: Oh, you fixed it. Good job!
LAURA: I entered Lawrence's Office to give that to him. Him and Laura share birthdays on the same day, so I figured I give him his gift early.
LAURA: But I heard a thump and accidently dropped it on the ground. I left it behind and left the room.
LAURA: That's when I noticed someone following me. I called you and that person left me alone.
LAURA: I wish Lori didn't try to get me involve in her zany schemes. I like a quiet life.
SELENA: Lori was trying to involve you in her plans?
LAURA: Yes, she was, sometimes by force! It was so frustrating, I would sneak into her brother's office with Lawrence's keycard and laid notes for him about his sister's craziness.
LAURA: She didn't understand that by doing this, she was constantly getting *Achoo* me in trouble with Lawrence. I couldn't risk that.
SELENA: Sounds like you had a good reason to get rid of her.
LAURA: What? But- we were still friends. I was just planning on getting her fired.
SELENA: Right. The evidence will be the judge of that.
LAURA FAWCETT'S PROFILE: Has the flu and access to Paige's Office
LAWRENCE RAY'S PROFILE: Has access to Paige's Office.
…
SELENA: Ugh, I swear, we're so close to figuring out who murdered Lori, but we're still missing something.
SELENA: We know Killian was dating her and did seem to actually love her, but could it be a ploy for something we don't know?
SELENA: OF course, there was Laura and Sunny as well, who both faced problems due to her interference. One of the might have gotten rid of her to get rid of a bane.
SELENA: You're right, maybe a second look could give us the answer. Let's investigate the area for that last clue.
(Investigate the lab sinks)
CLUES FOUND: Lab Door, Wooden Board
SELENA: Ugh… the woman's face still creeps me out enough to be here…
SELENA: Alright, so what do we have? The lab door? You think the killer left something on it? Let's take a sample.
SELENA: This wooden board looks like it was in a losing fight against the acid. Looks unusable.
SELENA: You spot something at the end there? Well, let's see if we can clear it up.
SELENA: I'm unsure what's going to happen, but I believe we'll find the answer we're looking for.
(Examine Lab Door)
OBTAINED FABRICS
SELENA: Great work. You got some fabrics from it!
SELENA: I wonder what it is. Let's give it to Rick.
(Analyze Fabric)
RICK: Well, that was certainly interesting.
SELENA: Is it something that will help us catch the killer?
RICK: It sure is! You see, I analyze the fabrics and its dye content as well as the fixing agents, they come from a neck tie.
RICK: Now, please leave before you make a knot pun. I can't handle those right now.
SELENA: Oh… what a shame. Still, the killer wears a tie, which brings us one step closer to catching them.
KILLER'S PROFILE: Has the flu, a burn mark, a keycard to Paige's office, and a tie.
(Examine Wooden Board)
UNCOVER LETTER
SELENA: Huh, a letter. Could that have been part of the brand name or something?
SELENA: You want to send it to Alanis for analysis? Alright. I don't know if she'll find anything, but it's worth a shot.
(Analyze Wooden Board)
ALANIS: I must admit, this was a difficult thing you sent me. I almost found nothing on it.
ALANIS: However, I sent it to Brad and he can confirm that no wooden boards are made like this.
SELENA: So, what's the letter for?
ALANIS: That is the question and one that needed to be answered in order to get a valuable clue to the killer.
ALANIS: The first clue to the answer was the victim's left hand. Her index finger had so much acid on it, but the others didn't.
ALANIS: I looked at the way the L is written and it's done by a left-handed person like the victim.
ALANIS: My guess is that she wrote the L using the acid on her victim!
SELENA: Wait, what?! She did that to her own finger!
ALANIS: Yes. My guess, the killer was on her and she had to make a split decision to indicate the killer.
ALANIS: So, she dipped her hand in acid to indicate the killer. More than likely, the killer's name, which starts with a L.
SELENA: Wow! That's one hell of an analysis and one tough, crazy woman, but her craziness gave us something to work with.
KILLER'S PROFILE: Has the flu, a burn mark, a keycard to Paige's office, a tie, and a name beginning with L.
…
SELENA: Well, I think we got the evidence we need to put this sicko behind bar! Great work!
SELENA: Now, let's take care of this killer. I imagine they will be in jail for quite a while.
(Make an arrest!)
LOU PAIGE ARRESTED
SELENA: Game's up, Lou Paige! You're under arrest for killing your sister!
LOU: What?! Are you insane? Why would I kill her?
SELENA: That's what we want to know. We don't get it, but the evidence, such as the tie fibers we found on the door, leads to you.
LOU: Tie fibers? Is that it? Killian loves ties and you're not arresting him.
SELENA: Well, his name doesn't begin with L, like you, which Lori did to indicate her killer.
LOU: Her boss and her friend's name both begin with L. I bet one of them did her in.
SELENA: One of them doesn't have the flu, like you do, and the other doesn't have a burn mark, like you do.
SELENA: Besides, who else in the entire city has better access to your office in which you hidden a tube of acid?!
LOU: Dammit… you pigs really got me good.
SELENA: Is that an admission of guilt?
LOU: Yeah… it is.
SELENA: Good, now tell us… what was the reason for killing her?
LOU: When people are disobedient, you have to take care of it, even if it gets… ugly.
SELENA: What does that mean?
LOU: I and Lori were going to rob Lawrence's blind and make out with his data on all of his projects to make a killing.
LOU: We were planning on pinning the whole thing on Laura, that stupid friend of her.
LOU: But she wanted to back out! She said we were making enough money. We didn't need this!
LOU: She had no idea what was going on. We needed that money for something grand and she ruined it!
SELENA: What was it you were planning?
LOU: I have no reason to tell you. It's gone to dust and I rather leave it behind.
LOU: I tried to salvage it, but I couldn't access Lawrence's safe with the codes I had. He must've changed it. I wanted to go in again but that bitchy friend of Lori's was there.
SELENA: What was the final straw that caused you to kill her?
LOU: The messages she sent to Killian? She needed help from him and not me! Worst yet, she was sleeping with him without telling me?
LOU: How could she keep that secret from me! At that point, I knew she had to go, so I busted in her lab and finished her off before she could tell anyone what she knew.
SELENA: Lou Paige, you're under arrest for the murder of Lori Paige…
…
BENEDICT: Yeesh. I've seen the autopsy and you really did a number on her. How disgusting!
LOU: Well, if there's one regret about killing Lori, it's how I did it. If I was thinking clearly, poison would've been a more suitable death for her.
BENEDICT: My, you really have no regrets about killing her, do you?
LOU: She betrayed my trust. I had to take care of her.
BENEDICT: I think no one told you that when someone betrays your trust, you figure out why and work it out or just cut contact with them.
BENEDICT: Not dunk their face in acid.
BENEDICT: Now, for the crime of murder, trespassing, and burglary, I hereby sentence you to life in jail.
…
SELENA: Well, I glad to have that done and behind us. Glad to see Lou Paige behind bars.
SELENA: Still, that thing Lou Paige wanted to do with the money… it worries me.
SELENA: Still, with him in jail, I guess it's nothing to worry about now. Let's head to the bar. I'm buying.
