Deadly Legacy

Deadly Legacy (Case #92, or Case #36 of Pacific Bay) is the sixth case of Ivywood Hills, the thirty-sixth case of Pacific Bay, and the ninety-second case of the game.

Case Background
Amy Young harbors feelings of herself feeling alive only when she's on duty, although the player wanted to visit another film set. The murders in the last five cases made Amy suggest that there's a pattern the team hasn't caught wind of yet. Amy suggested the player to take a tour of Margaret Hatchman's Legacy currently in production as Amy often look up to her since the majority of film directors are male. The setting for Margaret's movie takes place in the age of Rome, but once in the set, a murder investigation ensued due to Margaret found tied down and viciously killed on a pillar of stone.

The investigation led the team to a symphony stage and a nail salon called Ashley's Salon where Amy and the player struggled to find leads to incriminate the killer. Since one of the killer attributes required the player to find suspects known to use bath salts, Amy had to call Ramirez to augment the investigation, in which Ramirez dressed up as a lion for the task. With the help of Ramirez, Amy and the player incriminated a Utopian actor named Tobias Frankenberger to be the killer.

Tobias followed Margaret to Ashley's Salon chronically after finding out that he was to be killed of in Legacy's first scene, a feat he didn't like since he was promised a leading role as being killed on the first scene was considered a minor role. One day in the set of Legacy, Tobias throttled Margaret with a Roman Parma (a circular shield) in disgust of having played a minor role, tied her to a stone pillar, used his golden brooch to pick the lock to the lion cage open, alas released the lion to do the dirty work for him. Tobias was scared of lions, but he ran to the symphony room where he ran to the emergency exit to flee the lion's reach, admitting that he planned the premeditated murder perfectly. Prior to the murder, Tobias wrote a death threat to Margaret in Latin, but Russell Crane's psychological help only tipped the odds to Amy and the player, in which the player had enough and shipped Tobias to trial.

All Judge Dante knew about Tobias was that he played a couple of grumpy elder roles and hailed him as a "grandpa of the silver screen", but Tobias wanted to be known as a star in his own right. Tobias admitted that he hasn't landed any major roles and hoped that his role in Legacy to be something major, in which he would last for the duration of the film. Tobias believed that he had the right to be remembered as a star as his work in the silver screen was a legacy to remember, something Margaret was not in agreement in. Judge Dante issued a 20-year jail sentence for Tobias of premeditated homicide not to mention that he would not be allowed to attend the Ivywood Film Awards. Amy felt that the player would have a legacy to carry on even if they choose to leave Pacific Bay for a new city to patrol.

In the hours following the arrest of Tobias Frankenberger, Russell was reportedly missing in which Frank angered Amy by jokingly telling the junior cop that she had feelings for him (since Frank saw Amy biting her nails). All Hannah Choi knew was that Russell investigated the colosseum, in which Amy and the player had to activate to see whether or not Russell was abducted. Chief Marquez's fears came true as a lion tamer named Brad Belinsky threatened to kill the profiler unless the police allowed Brad entrance to the symphony room. Amy thought Brad was brainwashed to kill Russell but the profiler told Amy to tell Brad to release Russell since she and the player will take him to the symphony room themselves. Russell was attacked by Brad during his investigation, but he remains unscathed after his rescue.

Amy and the player opted to investigate the symphony room on behalf of Russell, who returned to the station after his kidnap. The player found a locked briefcase, in which they unlocked it to find a brainwashing plan using extremely low frequencies. Since Amy and the player didn't understand as to why the Utopians would use ELFs to brainwash people, they gave the plans to Russell for examination.

Russell made a major finding with the plans--The fine-tuned ELFs came from the television antenna in which the ELFs were intended to be used to brainwash people in which the profiler suggested that human brains can be wiped clean and reprogrammed with those frequencies. Extremely Low Frequencies are waves that can't be heard, but can be felt. The plan was patented by the Utopians and they had a plausible reason to take Russell to the symphony room for fine-tuning of the ELFs to brainwash people with a certain movie. Since a musical composer named Hannah Simmer was the Utopian with perfect hearing, she was liable for much of the brainwashing scheme with a single document alone.

Amy and the player placed the musical composer under arrest for the kidnapping of Russell Crane and the brainwashing conspiracy with the Utopians in which Hannah knew that her leader pleaded with her not to fight, but not without warning Amy and the player that the Utopians perfected the brainwashing process--backed by a claim that the Utopians will fulfill a prophecy kept secret by the cult. After Hannah Simmer's arrest, Russell can't help but worry about the Ivywood Film Awards a step further as the player found a major finding in the brainwashing scheme. Russell fears for the lives of those watching the Ivywood Fim Awards on TV, in which he knows the only way to stop the brainwashing for good is to put the cult's leader behind bars before it happens.
