M. Morrel returns to confront Villefort face-to-face—but rather than flinch at the name “Edmond Dantès,” the magistrate coolly deflects, manipulates, and pretends to assist. Morrel pleads for justice, unaware that he’s speaking to the man responsible for Edmond’s disappearance. Villefort, always one step ahead, rewrites his own history to match the current regime—and Morrel, still believing in the system, falls for it.
