| - Examine Cellphone. Jack: Good job unlocking the phone you found on the docks, . Clearly, it belonged to the victim. Jack: The victim has 10 missed calls from a certain Ambassador Stern, who apparently… Jessica: Can someone tell me why Adam isn’t answering his phone?! I’ve called him a million times! Jack: … really wanted to reach him. Uh, Ambassador Stern? Jessica: Yes. Who are you? And where’s Adam? He’s not answering his phone! Jack: I’m Jack Archer and this is <Rank> . Adam is dead, and we’ll need to ask you some questions. Question Ambassador Stern about the victim’s death. Jessica: I can’t believe Adam’s dead! I knew something was up when he didn’t bring my favorite dates from the souk around the corner. He does it every morning! Jack: As you know, Chief Ripley was killed by the same type of dart that killed your attaché. That’s quite a coincidence, don’t you think? Jessica: What are you implying, ? That it’s the embassy’s fault?! Jack: No, and I were just sayin’- Jessica: This isn’t our fault! This is the Bureau’s fault! You couldn’t keep your Chief alive and now you’ve killed my military attaché! Go away before you cause any more trouble! (After talking to Jessica Stern) Jack: Did Ambassador Stern actually imply it’s our fault the Chief is dead?! Who does she think she is?! Jack: She mentioned something about Adam going to the nearby souk every morning? A lead is a lead. Let’s check out the souk. Investigate Souk. Jack: Of all the things here, you picked up a torn photo? Jack: Whatever you say, . I see your mind is set: let’s just restore it. Jack: That basket you grabbed is more of my kind of clue. Let’s have a look inside! Examine Torn Photo. Jack: Crafty work on that photo you found at the souk, . It shows our victim with some woman at the beach. Jack: Unfortunately, the woman’s face is cut off. If only people took decent selfies! At least buy the stick! Jack: Why don’t you run that woman’s face through the database, ? Examine Vacation Selfie. Jack: Nicely done, ! The woman in the selfie with our victim is called Christy Mathis. Jack: According to her file, Christy’s an American, living in Morocco on a student visa. Jack: It seems Christy was close to our victim. We’ll need to question her. I’m sure the embassy can help us find her. Ask Christy Mathis about the vacation photo. Christy: I can’t believe Adam’s dead! How sad! Jack: We found a photo of the two of you on a beach. We take it you were friendly? Christy: We dated for a little while, but it wasn’t serious. We ended it a few weeks ago. Christy: He was nice, charming, and of course, handsome, but I was getting distracted. I needed to concentrate on my studies… that’s why I’m here after all. So I broke up with him. Jack: And did you see him after that? Christy: We’d run into each other at the souk. We’d tried to talk, but it was awkward. And now we’ll never talk again! Jack: Ms Mathis, you can’t blame yourself… but please stick around in case has more questions. Examine Colorful Basket. Jack: You found some broken pieces in the basket? We could be onto something… if you repair it first. Examine Broken Device. Jack: You’re right, ! That thing you repaired does look like a pair of high-tech binoculars. Let’s send them to Elliot! Analyze Binoculars. Elliot: Hey . How are you not melting? It’s a hundred degrees here! Jack: What are you complaining about? You never go outside. Elliot: Funny… I guess you want to know about the binoculars you found in the basket at the souk? Jack: So they are binoculars? I knew it! Well, knew it. Did you find anything on them? Elliot: Uh, yeah. They’re digital recording binoculars capable of shooting both video and still images with wicked high def and 3D technology. Elliot: Although they were pretty beat up, I was able to extract a saved photo from the memory card. It’s a photo of your victim. Jack: A photo of our victim? That means someone must have been following him. But who? Elliot: One step ahead of you, Archer. These binoculars are pricey and in limited production, making it easy to track them. This particular pair was military issued to a soldier named Jonah Karam. Elliot: He went rogue… left the military a while back, binoculars in hand. Jack: So this Karam guy was staking out our victim. I wonder what he’d want with Adam? , let’s go smoke this rogue soldier out from wherever he’s hiding! Ask Jonah Karam why he was following the victim. Jack: Jonah Karam. I’m Agent Jack Archer and this is . We’ve got a few questions regarding the murder of Adam Hassan. Jonah: Adam’s dead? What do you want with me? I didn’t kill the man. Jack: You were following him. We’ve got proof. The question is, why is an ex-military following an embassy attaché? Jonah: I was paid to follow that guy. It’s my job. Jack: So you’re a hired gun? That makes you suspect number one. Any chance you’ll tell us who hired you to spy on our victim? Jonah: I already told you all I know… I was paid to follow a target. That target happens to be dead. Guess my job here is done. Jack: Your job might be, but ours isn’t. Stay close by for further questioning… just not too close ‘cause you’re kind of scary. Examine Faded Amulet. Jack: Great work on that charm you found at the docks, ! Now, if we could figure out what those symbols on the bottom mean… Jack: You’re right! Strange eyeball charms and bizarre writing are Dupont’s specialties. Autopsy Victim's Body. Angela: Salaam, ! Isn’t Morocco just beautiful? I wish the kids were here to see it! Angela: If only we were here under better circumstances. So sad what happened to the Chief. Jack: Yeah, and now we’ve got another murder to solve besides Ripley’s, one that seems awfully close, too. Angela: Keen observation being that both murders are indeed exactly alike. Your victim was killed by the same type of poisoned blow dart used on Chief Ripley, identifiable by the orange-feathered tail. Angela: The blow dart is the murder weapon, . Angela: However, this time the killer was sloppy. They left traces of crocus sativus, commonly known as saffron, all over the dart. Jack: So our killer eats saffron! If only that wasn’t in every dish here… Jack: Sorry, . You’re right! We need to track down this killer before they can dine on another murder!
