Edgeworth’s Reprise: Make It Right

What can I say? All the facts point to the truth.
My guilty record—it had been destroyed by you.
The role I had been born to play: to keep evil at bay
Well now I seem to feel some doubt, I even almost feel afraid
This court is meant to stop the ones
Who would bring harm to the light
It’s natural, no miracle
For this court to make it right.

(Spoken) You listen to me, Wright. These lingering doubts you’ve burdened me with serve no useful purpose. Don’t ever show your face to me again. That’s what I came here to say.

-His sense of perfection
-He'll do anything to win (I thought this would be the last line always, sung very low, except at the end)
-Justice is blind (see overture), so you'll have to "guide" it

It will be quite creepy and evil, btw, with some (not One Winged Angel quantity or presence) Latin in there - come on, it's von karma)

He tazers Phoenix and Maya ("I'll do anything to win" really sounds appropriate there)

Jazz.

When he confronts Phoenix in his office and gets him arrested

Anything To Win

I am in charge of every trial
I’m always in full control
the judge merely has to smile
to say “Guilty” is his only role
I sustain my own objections and overrule yours
You cannot interfere with my Perfect Win Scores

Dame Justice is Blind, so I will guide her (Iustitia caeca , illa ducenda)
In declaring everyone guilty, I simply cannot err (Peccare non potest, nunc damnandum est)
To preserve my perfect record, I’ll do what I must (Praecipua fama mea conservanda)
No place in court for truth, peace, order and trust. (Non pax, quies, veritas, fides)
And yes, some didn’t do it, innocent they might have been (Quamquam damnabitur reum insontem,)
But my cases are all perfect and I’ll do anything to win (Curabo ut semper triumphem)

I’m perfectly prepared
To grind you in the dust
No one have I ever spared
Try to save your client if you must
but I’ll refute your claims, my plans you cannot thwart
Try to cross me, I’ll have you held in contempt of court

Dame Justice is Blind, so I will guide her (Iustitia caeca , illa ducenda)
to declare everyone guilty, I simply cannot err (Peccare non potest, nunc damnandum est)
To preserve my perfect record, I’ll do what I must (Praecipua fama mea conservanda)
No place in court for truth, peace, order and trust. (Non pax, quies, veritas, fides)
And yes, some didn’t do it, innocent they might have been (Quamquam damnabitur reum insontem,)
But my cases are all perfect and I’ll do anything to win (Curabo ut semper triumphem)

All the cases I took on,
none were left unsolved
all defendants now are gone
I made sure that no one was absolved
So accept the fact you’ll lose, there’s nothing you can do
Your client is doomed, he will not pull through

Dame Justice is Blind, so I will guide her (Iustitia caeca , illa ducenda)
to declare everyone guilty, I simply cannot err (Peccare non potest, nunc damnandum est)
To preserve my perfect record, I’ll do what I must (Praecipua fama mea conservanda)
No place in court for truth, peace, order and trust. (Non pax, quies, veritas, fides)
And yes, Miles Edgeworth may be innocent, he might not have committed this sin (Quamquam damnabitur Milesem insontem,)
But my case against him is perfect and I’ll do anything to win (Curabo ut semper triumphem)



(the latin translates as "Justice is blind, she has to be guided. She may not make mistakes, now people must get convicted. My excellent reputation must be preserved. No peace, order, truth, trust. Although the innocent accused/Miles will get convicted, I will make sure that I always win)

For the people who know Latin:
-check for errors, please
-I know its incredibly easy Latin, but you try making a translation of the English text and rhyming at the same time.
-A new word! Miles, Milesi, male: Miles (=Name)

(SCENE: Phoenix and Maya are in the Evidence Room.)

MAYA:
Huh? One of the drawers here is open.

PHOENIX:
Someone must have been looking in it recently.

MAYA:
The label says, "Unsolved Cases: Evidence"

(Maya takes out a file and opens it.)

PHOENIX:
Hmm…unsolved cases?

(Maya shrieks, drawing Phoenix’s attention.)

PHOENIX:
W-what is it?

MAYA:
Nick! The file for DL-6... it's completely empty!

PHOENIX: (takes file from her and opens it)
WHAT!?

(Manfred von Karma walks in at that moment.)

VON KARMA:
What are you doing here!?

MAYA:
V-v-von Karma!?

VON KARMA:
…How do you know my name?

MAYA:
How do we—We’re Mr. Edgeworth’s defense team! We saw you in court yesterday!

VON KARMA:
Defense team…Ah. I beg your pardon. You see, I rarely remember defense attorneys…

(sung)
I’ve never lost a case in my forty years
I reduce such pitiful lawyers to tears
In prosecution I have no peers
For I am perfection incarnate!

(spoken)
I’ll do anything to win. That is why I’m perfect. Even you cannot deny that.

PHOENIX: (spoken)
That’s not true! (receives an icy glare) Um…I mean…

(sung)
I’ve heard you hate Gregory Edgeworth
with all your soul. Is that true?

VON KARMA: (sung)
Despise a mere defense attorney?
Give me a reason, you fool!

PHOENIX: (sung)
He dealt a blow to your record and ruined
your sense of perfection.

MAYA: (sung)
And that wasn’t something you could hide behind
another of your objections!

VON KARMA (as if he’s stopping this entire conversation with a shrug):
…Hmph.

PHOENIX (spoken):
But… why would you take in his son afterwards? He’s the son of your greatest rival!

VON KARMA (spoken, icily cold):
…That is none of your business. And as far as tomorrow’s trial is concerned…

(sung)
You’ve lasted quite long
But my case is strong
As you will soon see, my ‘friend’

He’ll admit his own guilt!
Your objections will wilt
And I will win in the end!

PHOENIX: (sung)
We’ve lasted this long
And our case has grown strong!
A conviction? We won’t allow it!

VON KARMA: (sung)
He’ll pay for his sins!
There’s no way you can win!
For I am perfection incarnate!

(spoken)
Honestly…if you’ve researched this as much as I assume you have, you know what Edgeworth will bring up in court tomorrow.

PHOENIX: (spoken)
The DL-6 Incident…

VON KARMA: (chuckles)
Excellent. You have done your homework. Then you must also know what the verdict will be…

PHOENIX: (spoken)
No! We won’t accept anything but complete acquittal!

VON KARMA: (spoken)
My, you’re confident. You must honestly think you can win. So tell me…why? What do you have that every other defense attorney has lacked?

PHOENIX: (spoken)
It’s not us. It’s you, von Karma.

(sung)
Surely you overlooked something
A clue that if suddenly found
Will bring your case to the ground…
For no matter what you say
No matter what you’ve tried today
You are NOT perfection incarnate!

VON KARMA: (spoken)
…I leave nothing to chance. Miles Edgeworth will be found guilty tomorrow.
(a pause, he’s thinking)
Unless…

PHOENIX: (spoken)
Unless what?

VON KARMA: (spoken)
…Alright. If you have proof that he’s innocent, show me. Prove to me that Miles Edgeworth did not commit murder.

(Phoenix takes out the letter)

PHOENIX: (sung)
Mr. von Karma, look at this
I’m sure we can all see something amiss
Such clear instructions, down to the letter
In fact, if I didn’t know better…

(spoken)
You wrote this letter. You told Yanni Yogi to kill Robert Hammond and then frame Edgeworth.

VON KARMA: (spoken)
… He's a fool. I told him to burn the wretched thing after he read it.

MAYA: (spoken)
So you admit it! Y-you wrote Mr. Yogi this letter!

VON KARMA: (spoken, with a self-satisfied smirk)
Yes. And he wasn’t the only fool…

(sung)
I told you already I leave nothing to chance
You are truly quite naïve
With such crucial evidence
Did you think I’d let you leave?

(He takes out a taser. Big “Oh my GOSH, NO!” moment.)

MAYA: (spoken)
Nick…W-what is that thing?

PHOENIX: (spoken)
It’s a taser…a stun gun. It’s for self defense…usually.

VON KARMA: (spoken)
Precisely. 600,000 volts of electricity will course through your body in an instant.

PHOENIX: (spoken, or screamed)
Six hundred thous…

VON KARMA: (spoken)
Oh, don’t worry. People don’t die from it…(smirks) usually.

And as far as self-defense is concerned…I am merely defending my perfect record.

(sung, as he advances towards them)
Miles Edgeworth will pay for his sins
This is the case you simply can’t win
My perfect revenge has yet to begin
For I am perfection incarnate!

MAYA: (spoken)
Nick, this is crazy! We can’t stay—

VON KARMA: (interrupting)
Give me that letter and GET OUT OF MY WAY!

(Maya leaps at him like she’s going to tackle him.)

VON KARMA:
Whoa! What are you--

MAYA:
N-Nick! Run!

(He jams the taser into her body like it’s a knife.)

MAYA:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(As she falls, her hand snags something out of von Karma’s shirt (coat?) pocket. She lands on top of the object, covering it from sight.)

PHOENIX:
M-Maya!

(As he runs to her body, von Karma steps forward and practically impales him with the taser. He might do it at the back of his neck…Though I don’t know what that would actually do to a person. Just make it dramatic.)

PHOENIX:
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
