Grover Cleveland/Dialogue

The list of things Grover Cleveland says in Mystery Train Island.

Grover Cleveland:

I knew you'd make it here eventually.

Grover Cleveland:

When the lights went out, Nikola Tesla was peeping through Edison's door while holding... a glass of prune juice. When he heard Edison coming back, he ran, sloshing the juice over the sides of his glass.

You:

So he didn't steal the device. He was only curious about it.

Grover Cleveland:

The thief snuck into the coal car and hit the brakes, causing a distraction. The thief then took the device to the luggage car - hence the... coal smudges on the trunk.

You:

Wait. How did the thief get into Tesla's trunk? The key was still in his cabin!

Grover Cleveland:

Or was it? Perhaps the thief switches nametags between his own trunk and Tesla's. When the train stopped, the thief could have snuck outside and thrown the... key into Tesla's cabin. The trunk you thought was Tesla's was the thief's all along!

You:

Why go to all this trouble for something the thief didn't even want?

Grover Cleveland:

That's just it! It was easy enough for the thief to access Tesla's cabin. Much harder to get at the thing Tesla never let out of his sight, not even when he went to the bathroom: His... briefcase.

You:

So the thief took Edison's motion capture device as a distraction.

Grover Cleveland:

Precisely. The thief's real goal, all along, was... Tesla's transformer.

You:

And if the thief switched the nametags on the trunks in the luggage car...

Grover Cleveland:

Yes! It means that if you take a closer look at the trunk and identify it's owner, you will find the true identity of the thief.
