[He grits his teeth, and nods, and dials. Then he calls the police department to let them know that one of their number has had his uniform stolen - or been killed. What he comes back with, however - ]

...It's his uniform.

No.

[There's just a slight tremble to his voice.]

He has been hired as a patrol officer in the selfsame district Yaha patrols. In spite of everything he has done, in spite of all the lives he's taken, they've hired him, and...

[A long moment, and then a crash.]

Goddamn it!

...He'll slip up somehow, in a big way. We'll get 'im ousted.

How, precisely? He's already killed innocent men and women by the scores. And they hired him with full knowledge of this. What can he do that exceeds his previous crimes?

[A thump as he smashes his hand into the table again in sheer fury.]

I see now who it is who runs this city in fact. I had known them corrupt; I had never expected the depth of their cowardice.

But - [but what? Edgeworth's right.

Fuck.]

Then I don't know what we're gonna do.

I...don't either.

[He sounds defeated.]

If they are...with the police, perhaps they will...obey certain principles. Perhaps they will no longer feel the desire to kill bystanders, since they've already proven their strength.

Yeah, and maybe rescue kittens from trees and help blind kids learn how to read.

I think our best bet's them fuckin' up in a way too big for the police to sweep under the rug. Public outrage and media coverage could be our allies.

We're gonna have to hope the same for Yaha too. Creepy motherfucker.

It would have to be humiliating for the department. Merely horrifying would not be sufficient.

Why not?

Because they have already done horrible things, and the department recruited them nevertheless.
