There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood (Case #56) is the fifty-sixth case of the game and the final case in Grimsborough. It also concludes the mystery of Samuel King that started from It All Ends Here and the folly of the Crimson Order that started from A Brave New World.

Case Background
The victim was an Aloki Indian named Delsin Peota, who was found at the construction site in the woods scalped to death with "You are next" carved into his chest. Delsin was actually murdered in the gold mines per Nathan. In the game's most tense moments, Milton Grimmes, the prison warden of Grimsborough Detention Center, was incriminated as the one who killed Delsin and was also revealed to be the leader of the Crimson Order.

Before Milton was arrested, the team managed to find an execution order issued by Serena Johnson commanding Samuel King to kill Adam Bentley for knowing the Crimson Order's secret gold mine (which was not on the map) and attempting to out the illicit endeavor unless Adam received money to convince him not to out any information, prompting the team to arrest Serena for the second-degree murder of Adam. Notwithstanding, Delsin attempted to discover the Crimson Order's grave secrets, but Milton didn't let Delsin get away with it.

Milton believed that the city belonged to the Grimmes family and admitted that he killed Delsin and drank the blood of the slain Aloki. Milton dropped a bomb when he revealed that his ancestor, Solomon Grimmes, did the same to Inaya because Solomon discovered that the Aloki tribe had an abundance of gold through a gold mine and thought that the gold would be enough to control Grimsborough with an iron fist. So according to Milton, Solomon devised a plan to gather the Aloki in one roof by seducing Inaya, invoke a Pilgrim-Aloki feast, and have the Crimson Order do the dirty work. After the Aloki Massacre, Solomon seized the Gold Mine and founded the Crimson Order, in which Jones was aghast because those 4 centuries gold was the Order's motive.

Milton continued by stating that with the gold mine as the Order's headquarters, he could declare himself as a dictator and a God, and attempted to kill the player with his handgun. Ramirez intervened hitting Milton with his saucepan--mirroring the saving move he demonstrated when the team arrested Tess Goodwin. The team didn't hesitate to handcuff Milton but Milton responded in disgust that he was supposed to bring the player's head to tonight's great ceremony in the Crimson Order's Headquarters. And so Jones and the player disguised themselves as Crimson Order members to arrest Alden Greene and Howard Johnson at the Crimson Order hideout. With Milton, Alden, Howard, and Serena detained, the trial of the century was about to ensue.

Judge Hall started by profiling the Grimmes family as Crimson Order leaders and mass murderers, but Milton told the Judge that the Crimson Order should be worshipped and not locked away. The Judge continued by holding Serena liable for manipulating Samuel King for killing Adam Bentley but Serena countered by claiming that she would be known as the city's greatest matriarch. The Judge then made the murder of Rachel Priest a Crimson Order murder but Alden countered that the Order could have made Grimsborough rich because of the gold Solomon seized from the Aloki. Howard was told that he abused his power as Grimsborough Mayor and the Judge assumed that he was acting on his mother's orders but Howard didn't get what the Judge stated.

The mess the Crimson Order made through 4 centuries of bloodshed were grounds for a lifetime jail sentence in solitary confinement, even though the Judge felt it was too light of a sentence in her opinion. Milton responded in disgust that the Crimson Order built Grimsborough but the Judge stated that the city was built through acts of murder and told Milton not to talk anymore. The Judge admitted that the mass sentencing of the Crimson Order finally placed an end of a dark era, and a bright future awaits Grimsborough, alas marks the end of the Crimson Order.

The team investigated the mines following the end of the Order to ensure that it originally belonged to the Aloki tribe. In the mines there was an ancient Aloki Painting and after careful analysis, it was deduced that the Aloki founded the Gold Mines prior to the arrival of the Pilgrims, and with that knowledge, the Aloki is finally vindicated. The player then accepts the promotion to the police force at Pacific Bay City, but not before the Grimsborough Police Force throws a farewell party for the player.
