Sorry for what? Is our criminal population homegrown, Monsieur, I used to... or are they outsiders? I was angry at you... Without information we cannot know because when you came here, how to control the dangerous elements. you were a worker like me... - You might be making a mistake. and you grew rich while I had troubles. - What mistake is that? We've all had troubles, Lafitte, Sometimes people move to a new town and we all need help from time to time. to start with a clean slate. Rest, and I'll let you know You might be doing more harm than good when I've word from the convent. by prying into their private lives. "Thank you...

Paris is interested in my plan. - Even if they had reformed themselves? - What plan is that? - Reform is a discredited fantasy. - It's in the letter. Modern science tells us that people are Why don't you tell me? by nature lawbreakers or law abiders. You said it's your plan. A wolf can wear sheep's clothing... I forgot. I apologize. but he's still a wolf. - Apologize for what? I was just thinking, Inspector, - I forgot, you don't read. that you have been unlucky. Your clerk mentioned it. Unlucky? I don't understand.

Now I recognize his face and voice, where everyone, either by nature I'm amazed I didn't know him right away. or experience, is dishonest. - Well, Javert, I don't doubt that... Indeed. But I'll see if I prefer Paris. - Sir. They've asked me to report to the deputy I'm prepared to denounce him. prefect to further explain my idea. Denounce him? Without proof?

Meanwhile, the medicine is expensive... I denounced you and the doctor's bills are criminal. without a shred of evidence. Fantine owes urs another francs. " - You denounced me? - Yes. But you're honorable. I was a fool. They told me I was wrong. I want you to remain prefect. They said you couldn't be - Monsieur le Maire, that's impossible.

I resented you. - The real Valjean? I chafed at your authority. - Yes. And out of revenge I slandered you. Two weeks ago, a man called Carnot If a subordinate of mine had done that was arrested for poaching apples. I would have broken him.

Tonight. and it's obvious you're not a convict. Is something wrong? You don't think I'm a convict? I'm going to do my best. Of course I don't. I'm going to get better for my girl. I've seen Valjean with my own eyes. But if He chooses to take me, will you I must've been out of my mind to think a look after Cosette? I have no right... great man like you could be a criminal. You and Cosette - This man... He admits to being Valjean? will always be safe with me. - Of course not. I swear it. He pretends to be a half-wit - Is this the courthouse? who can't understand the charges. - Yes, sir. Valjean has broken parole. Thank you. That calls for life imprisonment. - May I go in? - When is the trial? - I can't let you in. It's full. - Tomorrow. It's full? There are no seats? - How long will it take? Jammed. - No more than an afternoon. - We got two great cases. - Tomorrow. - So I can't get in? - The evidence is overwhelming. Not a chance. I returned so you could dismiss me Unless... Unless monsieur and press charges for slander. is a public official. I must consider. There's a seat reserved for them I was just on my way home. right beside the judge. Walk with me.

Did you miss me, eh? Answer the prosecutor's question. Hello. Did he ask a question? I call Bertin to the stand. Are you or are you not Jean Valjean? I warn you as well.

Does she interest you? - You paid over francs. Perhaps. Five hundred. - What's her name? All right. - Cosette. I want to leave right away. - What are they worth? I'm sorry, monsieur. But her mother - The girl? gave her to us to protect. - The stockings. - I can't let a stranger take her... - The stockings... I don't know. - How much? - You can buy the stockings.

Of course, you understand, Even if you offered or francs. I meant sou for each stocking. I couldn't give her to you. Cosette, get up. Come on. True, I owe francs. Get out of there. My whole life would be solved Get out of there! if only I had francs, but... Get out! I can't think about money. You're working for me now. It's a question of law. You can rest or you can play.

Here's a letter from Cosette's mother You heard, didn't you? authorizing me to take her. You must play! Cosette, quick! Hurry up! Start playing. Do we have to walk all the way to Paris?

" - Is there a mail carriage I can take? People will think we're strangers. - It's gone already. Then what shall I call you, monsieur? Well, what about "papa"? to work as my deputy.

Rather than apologize... who are terrified of men I want you to know that I've asked and search their beds! the prefect to transfer you to Paris... - It's for their protection. - This is a strict order. Well, even though Cosette They're not permitted to look at a man will be stuck here... much less speak to him! at least you can see the world. It's a boarding school for girls. Or Paris anyway. They must be protected. Aren't you curious? The girls are daughters You haven't been outside now of the aristocracy... in how many years? whose parents will kiss your feet The world never changes. if you are right... It is changing. and have you guillotined You should have a look for yourself. if you are wrong! You'll be surprised. I know he's in there. - What are you looking at? What?

Cosette has changed her mind. Thank you. But I, too, want to see her happy. Tomorrow can you arrange Thank you. for her to go to school here? We shall leave - I can pay. as soon as I can find a suitable home. - Who is she? I was wondering... She's an orphan. I don't know anyone in Paris. She'll be with me now. If you could help me find a house - Pity. in a decent area... - What? Lafitte, how courld you afford I was thinking of next year, such a house? when it will be Cosette's turn. Before we came here, I had money... Is it a pity family money... that I saved... to be devoted to Christ? to help provide for us. A beautiful nun is a tragic waste. Well, I hope you're certain that you've made the right decision. Do we have the vote? I am. Where is the republic Look, Papa. our fathers died for? - I shan't be long. - Where? - I'll wait here. - Here! - All right. But don't leave the cab. It's here, my brothers. - I'll stay put. It lives here in our heads. I'll be back soon. But most of all... Ma'am, have you got any money? best of all... Why not? it lives in our hearts. Because it's against the law to strike. We are the republic! The king has declared Where have you been? that everything is a crime. I told you not to leave the cab. Writing is a crime. I was just going out for some air. Two weeks ago police destroyed 0 the Egalite... the workers' newspaper. - I don't know. They smashed the press. - He was making a speech in the street. That man making the speech... - Come.

No one is as kind Concentrate on him. and beautiful as you... Our government has no mercy, Gavroche, you're such a convincing liar. no pity, no forgiveness. I fear for your mortal soul. - And it has no work for us! - Who are your little friends? - And there's no work. - Not friends. Theses are my babies. And because there is no work I found them wandering the street. our children are starving. Don't I make a good father?

It must be me. - Go. - My child, no! - Come on, boys. Hurry up. - Or you! Let's go home. You're the shameful secret. May we go for a walk? Maybe both of us. It doesn't matter. It's so sunny and mild. I can't go out or talk to people... I'm tired. - Stop this, Cosette. Would you read to me in the garden? - I think you're lying. Why don't you go lie down? I know the secret. I'll go for a walk. You want me here with you all the time... - Alone? night and day... - I'm going have to walk alone someday. because you're lonely, Someday, not today. and you want me to be alone forever! - Why don't you sit in the fiacre... You're right. I'm not a father. - Stop playing games! I don't... - I'm not playing games. I just want to protect you, - Are you disobeying me? that's all. I'm your father! Get in. The world isn't a safe place, It's Thursday. believe me. Madame Toussaint made You're the only person I have. your favorite dessert. This is the only way What do you say, Cosette? I know how to do it. I'm sorry. Strangers can be dangerous. 0 Will that be all? - Come. Have your meal. Will that be all? - I won't be long. Yes, thank you, Toussaint. - Fine. - You're not, you know. Toussaint will save it. - Pardon? 0 You're not my father. 0 That is, you never said you were - What's your name? until you became so angry today. - Marius. That was the very first time - And yours? you said it. - I'm Cosette. - Yes. You're right. I have something for you. - Well? Thank you. Are you my father? I can warm up your soup. I promised your mother I'm coming. I'd take care of you. I'll be here... I know you think I worry too much. tomorrow night, outside. See you tomorrow. - You need your exercise, my dear. Any guns? - I'm too tired. - Maybe this is moving too fast. - Are you all right? - Revolutions should always be rushed. - Yes, of course. Progress doesn't have time to waste. I have my book, and Toussaint is here. But this is pathetic. Good night, my dear. Two weeks, what have we got? Your letter was beautiful. Barely enough guns for ourselves. It was really beautiful. Then we'll do what revolutionaries - Tell my everything. have always done: - Everything? About what? - Tear up the streets and throw stones. About you. - Come on, Marius! Throw stones? There's nothing to tell. They won't attack with sticks! I'm a very simple girl. Well? I live a very simple life. We have two kegs of gunpowder stored in I grew up in a convent the back room. Guns are another story. with other girls, of course. - Is there a plan? My father lived there too. - No one can agree when to make a move. My father's a very good man. They argue about I grew up in his love. whether the people are ready. His love was my home, - But the truth is, they're scared. if you know what I mean. - These puppies seem harmless. And then I met you. We should move you to another group. And what about you? Thank you. - You're a genius, aren't you? What about this Marius? - Genius. Anything on him? I'm a poor student... He's in love. But he has to go no brighter or smarter to the square... than anyone else. to the food tent, Your speech was wonderful. to get a glimpse of his beloved. I didn't breathe while you talked. - Who is the father? I was afraid I'd miss a word. - I know you like me to be thorough. This week was the same as last... So I checked. every night? He's behind the charity. Inspector, they're in love. I didn't find out much, It's perfectly nauseating. only his name: She sneaks out the door, Lafitte. and they're together till dawn. You know him? They even stay out there I don't think so. when it rains. Aren't we going for our walk? I haven't caught the gun supplier. Not tonight, Papa. I've caught pneumonia. I want to finish my book. - And the father knows nothing? But we missed it last night, - This, too, isn't a surprise. and you've been in all day. I admit the whole experience has disillusioned me. and excuse yourself. I certainly don't plan - All right? No details. on having any children. - You're frightened. Especially not a daughter. No. Please, just go. Can I be reassigned? Try not to be nervous. Perhaps I could infiltrate He'll sense it. some nice anarchists. Stay calm and composed. - With a roof over their heads. My father instructed Madame Toussaint - Yes, I'll handle this. to say he's out when he's on a trip... You're relieved. so no one will know when there's Take two days off and report to me. two helpless women here by ourselves. - You'll be reassigned. Isn't it ridiculous that he worried - Thank you. about it with you... a police inspector? Just out of curiosity, sir, - When will he return? what are you going to do? - Oh, a week. From what you've said, M. Lafitte Hard to say. is respectable and well-off. I'm going to leave him this note. - Yes. Do you have an envelope? - A little softhearted perhaps. Right here. But a churchgoer... I knew a Lafitte. loving father and so on. Where did your people come from? Absolutely. The whole neighborhood Here. Paris. speaks well of him. Probably no relation. He deserves to know his daurghter's been This is for your father's eyes alone. seduced by a dangerous radical. And I'd appreciate it Toussaint, leave yourr cooking, if you gave him the letter yourself. and come sit in the garden. What a horrible man. It's a glorious day. How do you know him? - There's someone here to see you. - There's no feeling in his eyes. 0 - What does this mean? - Insp... "Your daughter has been seduced... - It doesn't matter. by a dangerous radical Inspector Javert, from the police. named Marius Pontmercy. - Could you w... She betrays you every night!" - I'll wait. - I don't know. - Who was that? - Don't lie to me! - That wa... Have you given yourself - Yes? to this person? Is it true? - Was a gardener. - Do you see him every night? - But why say you're away? - Go ahead! Hit me! - There's no time to explain. Is that why I should tell you... Tell him I've gone away for a week. because you'll hit me? If he asks qurestions about your past... Tell me the truth! say you have a headache How dare you ask for the truth when you only tell me lies? And I did things, there in jail. Why does a policeman frighten you Terrible things. out of your wits? I became an animal. Who is he? Who are you? They took my dignity. You don't urnderstand. They took everything from me. You've ruined me. Inspector, where do you You've ruined us. want me tomorrow? You're right. I don't understand. Should I go back to the Cafe Musain? How can I when you won't Not right away. tell me the truth? Mingle with the crowd at the square. What is it? - See where it takes you. Who are you? - All right. All right. I'm not going to lie. Lafitte... the softhearted gentleman... It's true. I love Marius. did you find out about his background? I'm not ashamed. Yes, sir. I only have a corner of a bench He's from Vigau, born and raised. to be with him. Lafitte and his daughter Cosette But that corner is mine. lived there until ten years ago. It's my life. - You didn't say her name was Cosette! Is that what's going to ruin us? - You didn't ask. Please tell me what this - No one here, sir. is all abourt, Papa. - The place is empty, sir. Please. No one and nothing. Please tell me what is it. Clean as a whistle. Please. He moves fast. What is it? Yes, he does. I... But there's a way to find him. I am a convict. - Marius, have you seen my babies? When I was young... - Not now. just your age... Not tonight. We have to plan I was very poor. tomorrow's action. I was starving. Tomorrow we're not having an action. One day I stood in front of a window. We're having a revolution. A window full of bread. We can't tolerate this! We can't allow There was just glass between me... the king to bury Lamarque as his hero! and not being hungry anymore. - I promise. One hour. It was so easy. - No! So I broke it... Marius, this is not a game! and took what I wanted. - Tomorrow you have to mean it! Then they caught me... - I mean it. and put me in chains - Do your? for almost years. - Yes. We'll plan tactics when I return. They did things to me... When these bastards try to bury Lamarque I can't tell you about it. we'll bury them instead. You hurry back. and they can be reinforced After tomorrow you can make love to her by another in two days. as a free man. So the question is where to deploy them. Maybe. My informers tell me "Go to Rue De I'Ouest. " the most critical moment... Why? is when Lamarque's funeral procession He has to leave, passes through the square. and I have to go with him. That's where they'll start the fighting. - What's wrong? Well, we won't fight them - His life is at stake. for every inch. - His life? How? We'll surround them. - It's a secret. It's frightening, Papa. I can't give it away. Why are they so angry about this? I was an orphan. He saved me. Because Lamarque was a hero He gave me everything I have. who fought for the republic. I can't leave him right now. Why is the king giving Lamarque - That means I'll never see you again. a state funeral? - Listen! He's trying to claim Lamarque I know what we can do. as his own hero. We'll talk to him. It's a lie. He'll understand. He'll agree. It's the final insult. You can come with us to England! That's why they're angry. England? Cosette, are you crazy? Long live the republic! Tomorrow we're going to fight! - Lamarque is ours! We're going to restore the republic! - Jump on! I can't run away now! Lamarque is our hero! Why do your have to go to England? Come on, everybody! Pull! Why now? Long live the republic! Why do you have to go now? To the barricades! He needs me. Get out! He took care of me, and now he needs me. Javert, your information I understand. is as good as gold. Marius, please. But the idiots of the municipal guard... Don't be sad. ignored your advice When do you leave? about the arsenal. Tomorrow. We can leave Paris Javert, why are you dressed like that? becaurse of Lamarque's funeral. Because I'm on the trail He's not sure. He said of someone who's very dangerous. we might leave the next day. It will be an important arrest, sir. I'll be here tomorrow night. Possibly the most important Promise me you'll meet me here. of my career. Well, it's obvious Indeed. Who is it? we have them outnumbered. I'd rather not say There are troops in the city... until I've got him. Well, at the very least, The law is here show me where you're going. to protect you, Cosette... Past the perimeter. Here. from criminals like this scum. There are dozens of barricades Is Valjean here? Is he alone? in this part of the city. I'll never tell you anything. Anything could happen. Do you know who and what We have no control in this area. you're protecting? It's under control, sir. Didn't he tell you he's really As soon as it's dark we'll go through just a common thief? the barrier. Hundreds are fleeing. - I know who he is. Police don't care who leaves. They're - Oh, yes? Did he tell you who you are? more concerned about people coming in. Did he tell you you're a bastard child? So it's a perfect opportunity. Did he tell you Cosette, please! your mother was a whore? How bad is the fighting? Give it to me. You'll be breaking I didn't go anywhere near it. the law. There'll be no turning back. I went the other way. Who are you? - What are they saying? Chief Inspector Javert. - No one really knows what's happening. If you surrender now, The streets are full of barricades, things will go better for you and her. and everyone says something different. Surrender? I'm taking you Whatever the truth is, to face the people's justice. a lot of people will die tonight. At the barricades? Is it too dangerous You fool. Don't you know for us to wait here until the morning? your revolution has no chance? You saw the barricades. If we die, your die with us. I promised I'd wait. Good-bye, Marius. Even if he can't come, I love you, Cosette. I have to wait. Go on! - It hurts this much? He came to say good-bye. - I'm sorry. He loves me, Papa. I've known him for only a few weeks. Take her to our old house. That's what you're thinking. It's going to be all right. That I'm only a silly girl, that he's I promise you. little more than a stranger. So here we are. But that's not how I feel. I was right. I understand. You know him? I do. When we have a spare bullet, Papers. we're going to kill him. Right. What are you doing here? Marius, not tonight. Where's Cosette? One hour. I'll be gone one hour. Waiting for you in the house - I found my boys! where you fell in love. - Well done, Gavroche. - Go to her. - I can't. You should end this. - Go to her. Kill me. - Not now. You're dead, Javert. She's your future. - Everybody, get back! If we can't win here, - Move it on through! then none of us have a future. On the back wall there! You have love. Surrender, men! That's the only future God gives us. - Surrender! Go. - Surrender or be shot! Gavroche! Get back! Stand. - I need bullets! Turn and follow me! - Gavroche! Get back here! You men in there, take that doorway! Come back! Come on. Do it! Jump! - Get back here! Let's be quick about it! - Gavroche! Come back! Long live the republic! Papa! - You two, look on the roof. - Let's do it now. 0 - You proud of your work? Get some ladders. Hurry! You're next. 0 Let me do it. - He's smarter than that. You kill him in the alley. He'll go downhill to the river. We don't want his blood in here Come on. with ours. It's all right. A knife. That's right. It's all right. Come on. - It suits you better. Come on. Help me. - Why, Javert? You must help me. Why couldn't you leave me alone? Push. I'm nothing! I'm no one! Is he alive? Yes. But you've managed to beat me. Careful. I'm not trying to beat you! - He needs a doctor. - I want to live in peace! - To make him healthy for a firing squad? - Then hurry up and do it. Come on, Javert. You know Your friends need you. there'll be an amnesty in a few days. That way, through the gate. - It's me you want. You'll be safe. - Yes. - You're going to shoot me in the back. Arrest me. Let him go. - I'm letting you go. - Is that all you care about? You'd better hurry. - You've caught me. They won't be merciful. That's what you care about. Go on. Let him take the boy where he wants. You should kill me. Then bring him back here to me. I won't stop. He'll live. Toussaint... Understand? - Find a doctor. I won't let you go. - Yes, monsieur. Take some money. to the quarries, do you? Promise him any amount he wants. Then for once we agree. - Yes, monsieur. I'm going to spare you - Go! from a life in prison, Jean Valjean. I promised I would give you this. It's a pity the rules It was your mother's. don't allow me to be merciful. She was a good woman. I've tried to live my life I loved her, Cosette. without breaking a single rule. I've told you everything. You're free. Take care of him. Live a happy life. I made an arrangement, my dear. I have to go. - Promise me you'll be happy. - No! Not like this, Papa! This is right, my dear. I stole something. I did. I stole happiness with your. I don't mind paying. Go to him. He's your life now. Bring him here. That is an important memo for the prefect. It will explain what I've done with the prisoner. Make sure he sees it before breakfast. I'm glad I had time to myself. I needed to think... about what you deserve. You're a difficult problem. - Move to the edge. - Why aren't you taking me in? You're my prisoner. Do what I tell you! You don't understand the importance of the law. I've given you an order. Obey it. Why didn't you kill me? I don't have the right to kill you. But you hate me. I don't hate you. I don't feel anything. You don't want to go back
