Double Trouble is a case featured in Criminal Case as the one-hundred sixty-seventh case of the game. It is the fifty-second case of the game's World Edition (Season 3) and also the fourth case to take place in North America.
Plot
The Bureau went to Alaska to protect Niilo Virtanen as he inspected the Bearing Straight weapons factory. Jack, Jonah, and the player went to the factory, where Jack was shot in the chest with a handgun. After taking him to the hospital, Ingrid informed the team that Niilo had been killed in the chalet he was staying in. Carmen and the player deduced that he was killed almost the same time as Jack got shot.
During the investigation, the authorities intercepted a ship full of Bearing Straight weapons, which contained the remote-controlled rifle used to kill Niilo. Jonah then became the player's partner while Carmen visited Jack. Later, radio host Travis Quaid broke in the chalet, and Carmen returned to investigate. The team later found enough evidence to arrest Unified Nations security officer Joel Heller for the murder.
After denying involvement, Heller admitted he killed Niilo for SOMBRA. He said that the Unified Nations would blame American radicals for the murder, therefore heightening tensions between the UN and the US to a breaking point. In court, he admitted that he shot Jack in order to show to the public that Niilo had died. Judge Adaku sentenced him to life in prison without parole.
Post-trial, UN high commissioner Leila Malak refused to accept that Heller was SOMBRA without proof. In the weapons factory, they found a weather report in Heller's wallet, which Elliot deduced to be orders to kill Niilo in a public way. However, Chief Ripley did not consider it suitable proof for Leila. Marina and the player talked to Heller in prison, where he said that the USStay vs. USNay conflict was the first step to a "divide and conquer" plan. Jonah and the player then searched the cargo ship and found a document detailing a fake identity for Joel to memorize before going undercover for SOMBRA. They showed the document to Leila, who said that she would get a committee to convene about the security breach in six months.
Meanwhile, Marina and the player found out that Lars had not visited Jack because he was too busy writing a song for him. After getting him to visit and getting Jack discharged from the hospital, Chief Ripley said they were going to Camp Rushmore in South Dakota to warn the US president about SOMBRA's plan.
