Politically Moral/AI

## Case 3 - Drug Control (3/5)

Stacy: Now that was interesting.

Rex: Ugh, politics in America is so bloody stupid, mate!

Rex: Just having a queen or king back in England was much simpler!

Calum: A'd say, althoogh 'twas bonny crakin' tae git a paid leave whin th' queen di-

Laurence: Okay, today is a big day people. Everyone needs to be ready.

Laurence: Detective, I’d like to go with you to interrogate Tim, it seems like he knows a lot about the drug gang, let’s see what we can get him to tell us.

Lucy: Erm, Laurence. I’d like to speak to you real quick-

Laurence: No time. Detective, let’s go.

**Ask Tim Asters about the drug gang.**

Laurence: Alright, if you want us to trust you Mr. Asters then you’ll have to give us information.

Tim: Well I don’t know much! I just caught Prisella and that’s about it.

Laurence: Well, do you know who the drug gang leader is?

Tim: Well no, not at all.

Laurence: Alright, do you atleast know where Stan Severus is? We might not arrest him and he can give us information.

Tim: All I did was communicate with him, that’s it.

Laurence: Alright. That’s all the questions we have.

(Back at our trailers)

Laurence: Ugh, this seems like a dead end! I don’t know where to turn.

Alex: Laure-

Laurence: Alex, not now, I’m thinking-

Laurence: Detective, you’re right, if we can get our hands on the phone Prisella used, we might be able to find the drug gang leader!

Laurence: Quick! To the crime scene!

Alex: Now that Laurence is gone. Detective. I’d like to talk to you, in my office.

**See what Alex wants.**

Alex: Detective. You saw how Lucy was trying to get our chief’s attention?

Alex: I have a feeling something may be wrong, and it might be associated with our gang.

Alex: I’d hate to snoop into her affairs, but it seems important, and she is only wanting to talk to our chief.

Alex: In any case, she’s an immature child who needs our help.

Alex: If I recall, she left the trailer park in a rush in the direction of our district hall. Quick let’s go!

## Laurence Part:

**Investigate Meeting Hall**

Laurence: Alright. Did you find what we needed?

Laurence: Huh, that’s strange. I don’t remember that storage cabinet being there.

Laurence: Whatever, it’s locked so go ahead and unlock it.

**Examine Locked Cabinet**

Laurence: Nice! You’ve unlocked it!

Laurence: You’re right! There’s a phone in here, I am certain to think that it’s a burner phone without having to be a tech genius.

Laurence: But wait, there’s a note on it!

Laurence: It says “Help me unlock this phone and I will help you” and it’s signed Stan!

Laurence: I don’t know why, but my gut is telling me to trust Stan.

Laurence: Oh well, go ahead and unlock it. See what we’re getting into.

**Examine Locked Phone**

Laurence: Damn, that didn’t even take you long to unlock it. Alright let’s see what’s in here.

Laurence: Wha- what the hell? There’s another encryption?

Laurence: It isn’t even a code! You can’t unlock this. We need an encryption key.

Laurence: Alright, let’s see if Romeo can help us with this.

**Analyze Encrypted Phone**

Romeo: Unfortunately, I don’t think I can help with this!

Laurence: Are you saying this is a dead end?

Romeo: Well I mean, encryption keys are heavily encrypted, so I won’t be able to get past it.

Romeo: Though, I don’t think it’s far-fetched to say that you could still possibly find that key to unlock the phone!

Laurence: Finding the encryption key? But how would we find that?

Romeo: Well I’m not the detective here. But I could suggest asking Tim if he remembers anything about that.

Laurence: Excellent idea! Before you know it Romeo I may make you a detective yourself!

Romeo: Eh..no thank you. I’ll stay in the trailer.

Laurence: Suit yourself, but we’re going to interrogate Tim again.

**Ask Tim if he remembers an encryption key.**

Tim: Back again so soon? What do you need this time? I told you everything I know.

Laurence: Well something came up, and we need to ask you if Prisella ever had some kind of encryption key.

Tim: Well, I do remember Prisella had some kind of white key, so that might be what you’re looking for, If I recall I think she put it in some chest.

Laurence: That’s definitely a lead! Detective, let’s check the meeting room again, and check where she was planning to sit from a seating chart.

Tim: Wait, before you go, here’s an old suit of mine from my government job. I won’t be needing it anymore given I’m in prison now.

**Investigate Victim’s Chair**

Laurence: I see you found the seating chart! And look, we investigated in the right place!

Laurence: And look at that, we found a locked box! Go ahead and open it.

**Examine Locked Box**

Laurence: That’s it! Quickly! Let’s get the key to Romeo!

**Give the key to Romeo.**

Romeo: Yes! That’s it! I can use this encryption key to unlock the phone!

Romeo (holding phone): Here goes..

Romeo: I’m in!

Romeo: Alright…wait the phone just got a text message?

Laurence: Well? What does it say?

Romeo: It’s from Stan! He says “I see you’ve unlocked it, now I want you to meet me somewhere. Also don’t forget to check the other conversations on the phone too.”

Laurence: What? Was unlocking the phone just a game to him?!

Romeo: Hm, I don’t know. I’m checking the other messages right now, and they seem legit. There’s even stuff from a person called “THE GRAND LEADER” yes in all caps too.

Laurence: Well? What are you waiting for! Tell us what they have texted Prisella!

Romeo: Well, it seems they’re mentioning some drug, but in order for me to see more we have to put in another code!

Laurence: Another code? What the hell?

Laurence: Wait, you say code? Not encrypted? Then that means Detective could unlock it! Quick! Give it to Detective!

**Examine Code on Phone**

Laurence: You did it detective!

Romeo: Uh..why is the phone smoking?

Laurence: Erm, I don’t-

Phone: Self destruction in 3..

Romeo: AH!

Phone: 2…1…

(Phone explodes)

Laurence: What the hell!

Gregory: What was that I heard? It sounded like a bomb!

Gregory: Woah..what happened to you both?

Romeo: An exploding phone! That’s what!

Romeo: Ugh, I’m taking a shower. Bye.

Laurence: Don’t take too long! I need one too now!

Gregory: Are these the parts that exploded?

Laurence: Yeah why-

Gregory: Did you forget I also made bombs before I joined you?

Gregory: I can easily tell this is a bomb planted into the phone before it was even in use!

Laurence: Wait, so they planned to explode the phone?

Gregory: Probably. I mean if it had super secret information and someone got a hold of it. It doesn’t take a genius to know that all the files would be gone from an explosion.

Laurence: Damnit! This is just a dead end. I guess we’ll wait for the others so we can recap what happened.

## Alex Part:

**Investigate District Hall**

Alex: Alright, do you think Lucy left anything here?

Alex: You found her bag? You’re right the initials are “L.M.” and if that isn’t Lucy’s, then I’m the president of the United States.

Alex: It does sound like her to end up accidently dropping this in a public place. Go ahead and search through it, I know this is privacy invading, but at least you’ll be the one to blame.

**Examine Lucy’s Bag**

Alex: What is that paper you’ve found, detective?

Alex: It says: “I know your secret! Stop hiding from me!”

Alex: Somebody knows a secret of hers?

Alex: I think it’s best to assume that “secret” is her being in our gang.

Alex: You know what. Check back into my office in a few hours, I’m gonna identify this handwriting!

**Analyze Handwriting on Note**

Alex: I dare say, the person who wrote this is indeed alarming!

Alex: I decided to see if our database recognized it after I identified that a man at least in his 40s wrote this.

Alex: And it did! This note was written by James Myers! Lucy’s father!

Alex: I do say, it is concerning that one of Lucy’s parents figured out about her being in our gang. I mean we were against Lucy getting the tattoo, but I knew she wouldn’t be able to hide it on her shoulder for long!

Alex: I think this is what Lucy wanted to talk to Laurence about. He warned her that it wouldn’t be received as a good thing to her parents if they found out.

Alex: I do hope Laurence won’t be too harsh on her. But you’re right, we need to give Lucy’s bag back to her, I think she is back at the trailer park again.

**Give Lucy her bag back.**

Lucy: Alex, detective. I’ve got no time to talk to you. Laurence isn’t talking to me and now I’ve lost my bag which makes thin-

Alex: Is it this bag you’re talking about?

Lucy: My bag! You found it!

Lucy: Wait a minute…you rummaged through it didn’t you!

Alex: Uh..

Lucy: Yeah, you read the note as well! You probably know it was my father who wrote that!

Alex: Lucy calm down. We did this for the better. We want to help you!

Lucy: By invading my privacy!?

Alex: Well you’re an immature child who can’t take care of themself! It was for your ow-

Lucy: MY OWN GOOD? OR FOR YOURS?

Lucy: I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU!

(Lucy slaps Alex)

Alex: I-

Lucy: For a profiler who can basically read anyone. You’re really dumb as f#ck. Anyway I have somewhere to be. Good day to you.

Alex: Uh…detective I think I need to go now.

## End Segment

Laurence: Alright, we’re all here- Wait a minute where’s Lucy?

Stacy: She supposedly locked herself in my trailer. God knows why. Her crush probably rejected her.

Laurence: Ugh. Alex, can you help?

Laurence: …Alex?

Calum: Uh. Ah dinnae think alex is 'ere either.

Laurence: What!? Where the heck did the two of them go?

Romeo: Beats me, but we have lots of things to share.

Laurence: Right, given that Stan supposedly wants to help us. And a phone exploded in front of our face!

Stacy: A phone exploded in front of your face? Hah! I’d pay money to see that happen a million times!

Laurence: Be quiet. Now could we figure out where the he-

(Laurence phone rings)

Laurence: What the..

Laurence (on phone): Hello?

Lucy (on Phone): Laurence. I’d like to speak to you and Detective privately. In Smokey’s Cafe.

Lucy (on Phone): Be there by 19. Bye.

(Call ends)

Laurence: What the..!?
