"Hurry up, Valjean." " Where do you take me to?" "Do you really care about that?" "It's the alarm ringing!" "A prison break!" "Fire!" "Gather some men" "Help, let us out!" " Open that gate!" "Help me Valjean!" " Come on Cochepaille" "Come on Cochepaille" "My god, he's lost" " Yes, lost for justice..." "He only had served half his sentence" "Quick Cochepaille" "Hurry up!" "Get out of there quick" "Don't give up, stand up!" "I wanted to inform you in person" "It has to be bad news monsieur Javert" " Jean Valjean, for your brave behaviour ... your sentence will be reduced." " How much?" "Two" "Two year?" "But that means I am a free man now." "Two months." "En now I change that into two months more." "But what is that compared to a lifetime?" "And, your existence in here the past 18 years, can that be described as 'life'?" "When I'll be free..." " When you'll be free  you will carry this prison camp on your shoe soles" "As a dog I will hunt you, until you return in here." "Because all of you return here." "A handsome boy, that Felix of yours." "The same please, garcon." "This will be the fourth bottle." " Aren't you thirsty?" "Yes, but the bill will be large." " That will be pleasant for the ladies" "You will ask they pay for it?" " Let's just get out of here." "Thanks to us, they had a wonderful day" "Fantine will hate you for this." " That's fine by me." "She's pale, much to sweet." "Not really interesting." "Are you having a good time Fantine?" "I am so lucky." " There will be another surprise later." "And what about me?" "Don't I get any surprise?" "Yes beautiful ladies." "The same one." "I have a surprise for you too." "For you Felix." "The most precious there is." " Come on with it." "Don't you want to guess?" " No" "You can tell me" "Fantine is pregnant." " Who is the father?" "Who?" "It's the man I love." "I'm pregnant from you Felix." "Are you coming?" "I'll be right back." "The young ladies will pay for the drinks." "I'm sure they are ordering champagne to celebrate." "Champagne." "I never drank champagne." "When we are married, we can't spend so much money anymore" "I don't really thing they were ordering champagne." "Here you are, ladies." "When pregnant, you shouldn't drink alcohol." "What date is it today?" "It's Tuesday, October 14th." "Tuesday." "That's such a beautiful day." "Why?" " Because I decided so myself." "There must be a day that will be more pleasant, a day you look forward to." "A man without hope, dies." "If you picked Tuesday by chance, you really have a feel for it." "Today is the day you'll be released." "Your passport." "It should be signed at any town you travel to." "Why is the passport yellow?" "Yellow is the colour of happiness." "Yellow means sun, light." "And I receive a yellow passport." "I just want to know I'll be happy now." "The passport had a yellow colour so you can be recognized from decent people." "This way, anybody can see at once where you come from." "Oh, that's the reason." "Justice thinks of everything." "But with a head like this, everyone will notice me." "You will receive civilians clothing." "From a prisoner that died before serving his sentence." "Yes, indeed." "Justice isn't very rich." "The sergeant of Waterloo" "The dog barks?" "Is anyone arriving?" "We better picked another name." "I think Waterloo scares people." "It was a huge loss." "Many people are satisfied that Napoleon lost the battle." "It isn't fair." "What a cute little child." "Come and sit by the window." "Every glance of sun in autumn should be appreciated." "Would you like to drink something?" " A little milk for my daughter please." "The milk is fresh from the cow." "And what about you, pretty one?" "A glass of water." "Water, didn't I think so." "You really should have given her a glass of wine." "You have some pretty daughters." " Downstairs, that's Eponine." "And this glutton is called Azelma." "I still breastfeed her." "She has such a warm little mouth." "They are lucky." "You are a good mother, it's easy to tell." "Your daughter looks pretty too." " Her name is Cosette." "I would do anything for her." "But is isn't always easy." "Without father, yes..." " How can you tell?" "That you're alone?" "It's clear there isn't a man you use make-up for." "But you are a natural beauty." "I'm sure in Paris, there's someone who..." "I just left Paris." "It was very hard." "I'm returning to Montreuil, the place I was born." "I hope to find some work there." "I can do any job." "But together with Cosette it will be hard." "She can't join me when I work." "And she's too little to be alone." "It would be best that somebody else cares for her." " That's true." "But how can I make sure she's treated right and gets all the love she needs?" "Would you like to take her?" "Me?" " Yes." "Your own daughters look very happy." "Cosette is a quiet girl." "And your oldest daughter will have someone to play with." "It's an idea." "But my wife is very occupied with the inn." "And little Azelma needs very much of love and attention." "And that takes time." "Besides, your daughter will be another mouth to feed." "I will send money every month." "Without Cosette I can work really hard." "Well, what would you say, my wife?" "If we can help each other, as one mother to the other..." "And we like children." "We're not rich, but decent." "Myself, I saved the life of an officer." "The sergeant of Waterloo, that's me." "I used to make food for the soldiers." "And only horses complained about my cooking." "And you know why?" "I really fed all those horsemen." "Trust me." "I will make you a healthy child Claudette." "Her name is Cosette." " What about six francs a month?" "Six francs?" "That's a lot of money." "Mama will come to get you soon." "And we will always be together." "Goodbye my love." "And be kind." "You are a wonderful woman." " And you are a smart man." "You smelled trade right away." "But I would never have asked for six francs." "And the child cries too." " I will raise her very good." "She's hungry." "Little girl, look..." "Please enter everyone." "In such a cold night no one should stay outside." "The mattresses just have been fixed." "Vincent, my good man..." "Please close the gates of the cathedral." "We are full for tonight." "Are there any people left outside?" " No, monsignor." "I only noticed some dogs." "If I could, I would take dogs as well." "... and my brother, who offers everything he owns to the poor and sick." "Which leads to, my sweet.... ... that by now, we are poorer than the poorest." "The only thing I can't get used to  is that he insists on leaving every door in this house open." "So if the devil..." "Did you hear that, Madame Magloire?" " Monsignor is probably arriving." "So if the..." "I understood I could get some food and a place to sleep in here." "Not here, the cathedral." "I am not a thief." "I have money, I can pay." "But no, my friend." "You are at home here." "Since when does someone pay for food in his own house?" "My dear Madame Magloire..." "It's so dark and gloomy in here." "I don't see anything." "Would you like to place the candles?" "And change this ugly cutlery for the silver ones." "Please excuse me for this improvised entrance." "Normally my friends, the poor, sleep in the sacristy." "But all mattresses are taken for tonight." "But you can sleep in comfort here." "Yes, I wouldn't hesitate to sell these valuables to help the poor." "But on the other side..." "I like to keep these pretty things to treat a guest with all attention." "Monsignor, would you care for some wine?" " Monsignor?" "Yes, I am the bishop of Digne." "But you shouldn't speak to me as 'monsignor'." "The poor just call me 'father'." "The dignity of men doesn't depend on titles." " It depends." "I'll never lose the title of former convict." "Did you serve your sentence or did you escape?" " Does it matter to you?" "Please apologize." "My reaction was stupid and clumsy." "It's not where you come from, it's where you wants to go to  when you have regained your strength." "Before I was sentenced, I used to work as a tree cutter." "We have some beautiful woods here." "If you want to work as a lumberman, I could..." "You can't do anything." "No one will employ an ex-convict." "Don't act so dejected." " It are the others that take away my good spirits." "... brave citizens, as they are called." "But that's the way people are." "You can't change that." "Only god can change things." "Madame Magloire, the soup." "We will prepare a soft bed for you." "Dear Madame Magloire, please put the linen sheets on the bed of monsieur." "You call me monsieur?" " I don't know your name." "Nobody knows my name." "I almost forgot my own name in labour camp." "Is it you Baptistine?" "Are you sick?" "Shall I come downstairs?" "Give me the blanket." "Vincent, go have a look on what's going on there." "We arrested this man at a routine check at the town gate." "Such a head..." " Do you recognize your possessions?" "These are marked with your initials." "Indeed, this belongs to me." "Belonged, I should say." "Why didn't you explain?" "Explain what?" " The fact that I gave these to him." "He said so, but..." " But what?" "He has a yellow passport." "And former convicts are very dangerous." "And that's the reason you didn't believe him?" "And the candleholders?" " The candleholders?" "Two silver candleholders." "I did give them to you, didn't I?" "It doesn't matter." "My dear friend, we'll get them right away." "The moment these gentlemen release you." "Monsignor, the mass starts." " No worries Vincent." "The lord has eternity." "But this monsieur probably wants to continue his voyage." "Solid silver" "Just like the cutlery." "I expect you  to take good care of it." "Please open your bag." "My memory functions very well." "And I'm neither senile yet." "I didn't give you the cutlery." "You have stolen it." "And you would have stolen the candleholders as well, as long as you weren't disturbed by something." "And maybe you would have strangled me as well, if I should have cried for help." "You were in my room, weren't you?" "With a knife in your hands..." "My eyes were shut, but I wasn't asleep." "I was praying." " While crying?" "Praying and crying can be very alike." "The knife was for making you tell me where you had hidden the gold." "I'm not a murderer." "If I would have had gold, I would have given you this." "I don't understand." "Why?" " To purchase your freedom." "I'm not for sale." "I'm free at last." "I was talking about your soul." "I would have redeemed it from evil." "My soul?" "For the price of two candleholders?" "What's your name?" "Valjean." "Jean Valjean." "From now on, we will walk the same road  that leads to the good." "This road isn't easy to travel." "You can easily stumble and fall." "But there's no greater thing than a man returning on the path of rightness." "I will celebrate the mass now." "I will pray for you." "But remember one thing." "You are a free man, just like me." "Thank you." " Why do you thank me?" "I would have lost it otherwise." "What are you talking about?" " That coin of 40 sous." "Where is it?" " Under your foot." "My foot?" " Yes, you put your foot on it." "I want it back!" "Don't nag." "Under my foot it nothing but clay and gravel." "That's all" "It's not fair." "I'm a chimney sweeper." "It's hard word, you can fall..." "You are still standing on your feet." "And I suggest you use those feet very quick  before I get angry." "Filthy thief!" "This will harm you for the rest of you life!" "Hey boy!" "I found your coin!" "It's here." "In the town of Digne a young chimney whiper reported a crime." "His wages were stolen by a man who's description is just like  you can guess who..." "Jean Valjean, who was in the area of Digne at the time." "I knew already he would become the man he always has been  and will be for ever: a filthy thief." "Until the day one of his victims resists." "That moment, he won't be shy to commit murder too." "Work is done for today ladies." "Fantine?" "Didn't you hear me?" " I want to continue working for another hour or two." "It's not done yet." " You were joking around all day." "No, my fingers are swollen and I..." "It's always the machinery to blame." "GO now, you can continue tomorrow." "It's today that we need to meet the target." "If I don't succeed, I earn 20 sous less." "You will get those next month." "I need the money now." "You are always short on money." "But do 20 sous really matter?" "It matters to me." " If you work overtime, you pay for electricity as well." "You know that." "So you won't gain very much." "Could you borrow me these 20 sous?" "I will pay you back next month." "You said so yourself..." "Do I need to borrow you money?" "Monsieur Madeleine doesn't want any trickery in here." "What happened to your power of reason?" "Go outside right away." "A good policeman, Javert.... ... not only investigates, arrests and punishes." "He wants to understand." "And in Montreuil, something passes by without notice." "Someone makes good fortune by taking care of business, there's nothing wrong with that." "This Croesus is mayor as well." " Do you suspect him of embezzlement?" "No, we know how he could become so rich." "We just don't know what he's doing with all this money." "There's no trace of him." "He didn't establish any bank account." "Where as any bank would pay him 20 to 30 percent interest." "Isn't it odd, someone doesn't care about enlarging his belongings?" "I can interrogate detainees very thorough  and they give away their henchmen." "But I can't make a registration talk, no." "Go deeply into it." "Society changes, and police needs to change to." "Nowadays, criminals have ink on their hands." "Ink from fake banknotes  falsified accounting, you name it..." "And it's less dangerous: wandering around in a safe  than in a poor quarter." "And much more amusing." "Monsieur Javert, I presume?" "My name is Augustin Parizot, town clerk" "Nice to meet you." "Who is the present mayor of the city?" "It's our beloved monsieur Madeleine." "Unfortunately, his portrait isn't here." "He doesn't want to make a portrait." " And why is that?" "Modesty, mister inspector." "Humbleness, a feel for discretion." "That's what our mayor is like." "I look forward to meet him." " That counts for him as well." "When he heard that State Security sent you, monsieur Javert, to this town  he was completely surprised." "Does he know me?" " It's probably your reputation." "Do I have one?" "When monsieur Madeleine arrived here, he wasn't much more than a lumberman." "The city was in need for someone to cut trees and hedges." "And he became that man." "And in doing so, he got that great idea." "What great idea?" " Stinging nettles." "I will show you." "Dried blooming nettles produce fibres  that make a great cheap fabric that looks almost like linen." "From there fibres we make wear-resistant work clothing." "We soon hope to receive an order from the military." "Negotiations are being held." "But there's not only an economic side to the story, monsieur the inspector." "There's a moral side of it as well." "A plant, distrusted and trampled on by everyone  gets its value, but only as one trusts its invisible qualities." "Your new domain, inspector." "Where are the prison cells?" " There." "For the little criminals we catch now and then  this is build solid enough." "I like to check everything." "In prison camp, the chains were checked by prisoners." "I checked again." "One can't and shouldn't trust  even the most trusted prisoner." "Never?" " Never." "They are lost for society." "They are not only criminals  they are incorrigible." "The only thing they ever regret, is that they have been caught." "But remorse?" "Never." "And even if they showed remorse, it doesn't change the crime they committed." "Harm has been done." "Our little town is in good hands now." "But what brings you here?" "I would think you would have earned a position in Paris." "Or were there certain circumstances to ask for transfer to Montreuil?" "I didn't ask." "I obeyed." "A criminal is wandering around in this town." " Is it true?" "Especially in winter he makes his move." "You know who he is?" "Poverty." "Madame, even since you didn't send us any money the past two months  my wife and I raise and care for your little sweet Cosette  as if it were our own daughter." "But this situation can't continue." "At this moment, Cosette is already six years with us." "She grows a lot and eats like a horse." "But love alone can't feed her." "My wife and I are afraid  that the poor child will languish and get weak." "So we need money very quick." "You owe us twelve francs." "The health of Cosette depends on it." "Thenardier." "Could I ask you a favour Madame?" "Can I leave early tonight?" "You don't know exactly what you want." "One time you wanted to work overtime, and now you want to leave early." "This letter had to be sent away today." "And after working time, the post office is closed." "Is that letter that important?" "Give it to me." "I go to the post office this afternoon." "Don't you trust me, Fantine?" "... brown." "Fauchelevent wants to talk with you, sir." " Monsieur Fauchelevent." "Why do I treat him with respect and doesn't he do so?" "Because monsieur Madeleine is mayor." " Monsieur Madeleine is right." "Come in and have a seat, monsieur Fauchelevent." "Are you looking for a coachman?" " To bring keels to Calais  where they will be shipped to England." "The Madeleine Company is exporting." "A success for me and for the town." "I can bring your keels to Calais." "I got a carriage and a horse." "Or aren't we good enough?" "You talk very pretty about poverty." "But now, you could really help me." " I just want to protect you." "Because these goods need to be transported rapidly." "And when they reach their destination, they need to be unloaded quick." "This is fatiguing labour." " What do you know about labour?" "Does this man cause any trouble, monsieur the mayor?" "No Javert." "Monsieur Fachelevent is a friend of mine." "Those are your words." "Because I don't like you." "Stay a little while, I want to talk to you." "Did you deliver my letter?" "Why not?" " I read the letter." "That isn't right, but anyway." "So you have a child?" "I'm not the only one." "Solange, Huguette  Madeleine, Clementine, they are mother too." "These are married women." "You aren't." "We would get married." "I picked a dress already: white taffeta," "A white dress?" "And you were pregnant?" "That doesn't surprise me from a strumpet like you that hides her child in an inn." "An inn." " I don't hide Cosette." "But I'm not able to work and care for her." "I miss her very much." "Go ahead, visit her." "What do you mean?" " You are fired." "No, you can't take my work away from me." "Monsieur Madeleine poses only one demand on his staff  they should have irreproachable behaviour." "I know that." "But I'm not a strumpet." "I want to talk to monsieur." "He will understand me." "I already talked to him." "And what did he say?" " Fire her." "We can go to my house." "It's not far from here and clean." "I can set up the fireplace." "How much do you ask?" "I don't know." "It's my first time." "There's always a first time, but never a last time." "Prostitution is for ever." "Inspector Javert, State security." "If I see you again, I will arrest you." "Didn't you ever had a lover?" " Yes." "And didn't he teach you anything?" "Aren't you satisfied?" " You are a girl of fun." "So try to smile at least." "No, crying suits you better." "Normally the price is settled on forehand." "You didn't say anything." "Apparently it was for free." "Please, give me some money." "You are a pretty girl." "But..." "But what?" "Breath." "You smell strange." "What's that?" "Are you sick?" "If you are, I go to the police." " Please no." "It's because I eat too little." "This is what people smell like when they're hungry." "That's all I have." "Next time better." "If you are more unrestrained, and if there will be a next time." "Parizot, quick." "The bridal couple is arriving." "Yes, Javert?" " The state doesn't want to get messy." "So the municipal policy on prostitution is made by two authorities:" "the municipality, that is you." "And the police, that's me." "I know about that." "I approve brothels." "This way, we can cope with the evil." "Because extermination is impossible." "But that woman doesn't work in such a place." "She works on the street." "And she didn't report this to the police." " The poor child." "You wouldn't throw her in jail, would you?" "I prefer to find out if she can work for me." "Would you hire a prostitute?" " I'm about to join one in marriage." "Ask Parizot." "She has done the whole city." "These medicines are pricey." "And it takes at least 40 francs to save Cosette." "Send me the money within a week, or..." "That's not a reason." "Each year, hundreds of thousands of children get ill." "But not all mothers turn into prostitutes because of that." "Why don't you look for a decent job to support you and your child?" "The weaving mill of monsieur Madeleine..." " I was fired there." "You can have a criminal record, but unmarried mothers are dismissed." "You can steal from a fellow man and will be forgiven, but extramarital love  turns you into a leprous." "Just a while ago I saw a carnival man parking his carriage on the square." "It could be interesting for you." " Why, I can't do anything funny." "I can't dance or sing, nor can I juggle or walk a tightrope." "I wasn't talking about that." "If I were you, I would have a word with him." "Come in, young lady." "Come." "They are so pretty and white  and look healthy." " How much do you want to pay?" "The price is 4 francs a tooth." "Pull out ten." " Ten?" "Especially your front teeth are very interesting." "They are the prettiest." "Okay." "I'll need to strap you up this chair." "Are you sure?" "I need 40 francs." "Anything else doesn't matter to me." "What are you doing?" "I never pulled out ten teeth in one time." "Imagine you bleed to death." "I don't want to get involved in such a dirty matter." "I really need the money very badly." "Maybe we can make some arrangement." "I make wigs too." "And  you have very beautiful hair." "Would you take my hair?" "For 40 francs?" "The most sales in three year." "Open the safe, Patriot." "An accident, come quick." "Stay there." "And you, out of the way." "There comes the mayor." "Bring some pulleys" " Too late, his chest shattered." "Use your final strength to ask god for forgiveness." "That man was too poor to buy a strong carriage." "Let me try..." "That's dangerous mayor." " The city needs you." "Pull him from under the wagon" "I only knew one man capable of doing something like this:" "he was a forced labourer." "Monsieur Fouchelevent, you should take some vegetable stock to gain strength." "Strength?" "Please let god give me the strength to die in dignity." "That's all I wish for." " Die?" "You won't die." "Not of a few bruised ribs." "I'll look after you." "In a few weeks time it will be better." "You don't need to lie to me, sister." " Sister Simplice never lies." "I have different bad habits." "What's this?" "What's in it?" "I wanted to add a little drop of wine, but all I found was sacramental wine." "It smells like lamp oil." " Lamp oil for a dying man?" "You won't die monsieur Fauchelevent." "I have a proposal for you." "Through my intercession you can go to work as a gardener at Petit-Picpus." "That's a convent in Paris with a huge garden." "The sisters are looking for a gardener." "Work in Paris, as a gardener?" "I will write to Mother Superior." "The smell of incense, organ music, masses..." "You will feel like in paradise." "Bad people don't find their way to paradise." "Yes sister, I'm a bad person." "Because I wanted to harm the man that just saved my life." "A few days ago, I visited inspector Javert." "And I spoke bad about monsieur Madeleine." "There's nothing bad to tell about him." " I know that." "I made it up." "Because nobody knows where he's from, I told the inspector ... he probably has a bad record." "But what?" "I didn't tell any details." "I only advised the inspector  to start an investigation." "He would be surprised." "How is your financial investigation going?" "What's easier to count?" "Numbers or prisoners?" "I believe I caught something." "Really?" "You will catch some large animal?" "I would like to keep that a secret until the final report." "But many will talk about this matter." "About you as well?" " It could be possible  that this investigation provides me with a transfer to Paris." "Are the archives still on the same floor?" "Apologies that it took so long." "It's an old affair." "I hope the case isn't dismissed?" " Valjean isn't prosecuted anymore." "He's not dangerous, just a little thief." "He didn't kill anybody." "He's much more than a little thief: he's a recidivist." "He could sentenced to death." "People like him don't need a hangman." "The wander around.... ... until they are found in a drain, death of cold and hunger." "Or in their lazy armchair.... ... counting the money they received on the harm of others." "What are you doing here, you Nosey Parker?" "It's Sunday." "You need to stay in your beds until mama..." "Someone knocks at the door." " Never mind." "It could be a guest." " Too bad." "We didn't have any guests for a week." " The allowance of Fantine is more than enough." "Last time even 40 francs, so to say to get flesh for her little baby." "You should gain some weight." "Don't you like me anymore?" " Yes, but I love robust women." "A real woman is round and chubby like a little quail" "Slim isn't a good sign." "I learned so at Waterloo:" "only the death are slim." "Would you tell a story?" " Which one?" "You know which one." " Once, one brave sergeant  was walking at Waterloo between the death and wounded." "The cursed fog, I think I'm lost." "Where do you go to?" " To Montreuil." "You are in the right direction." "All you have to do is travel north." "But it's a long way." "Would you like some food?" "Get up and get some wood." "I got delicious soup, I cooked it once for Napoleon." "I'm a servant of the king." "The little maid seems very young to work." "She may look eight, but she is twelve years old." "On that age, children are allowed to work." "Although work..." "I'm the one doing everything in here." "Shall I bake you a bacon omelette?" " No, I just wanted some directions." "Are you okay little girl?" "Do you like it in here?" "In that case..." "Come here, stand in the light." "Good evening." " Yes, where and how many?" "My place, and price is 5 francs." "The girls at Madame Aglae cost only 3 francs, including champagne." "All right, three francs." "That's for me to say." "But I would like to see some goods in advance." "What a sight." "What's that, a bald head?" "And the rest got eroded too." "Outrage, such an ugly woman." "Don't touch me." "Get lost." "Filthy bitch." "When can I leave here?" "I didn't do anything wrong." " Close your mouth." "I am talking to you." " Shut up." "I didn't do you anything wrong." "I want to get out of here." "The charge is: prostitution, disturbing public order  and committing violence." " She is the one who got beaten up." "That's for the court to decide." "Citizen Mamatabois had filled a complained against you, I'm obliged to deal with this." "Tomorrow you will go to the prison in Arras, to wait for your trial." "Lock her up." "Please no." "I don't want to go to prison." " Prison is not worse than the shed you live in." "But my daughter needs me." "Behind bars with that hysteric woman." "Please do something monsieur Madeleine." "Monsieur Javert, I request you to release that woman." "Right now." " You don't know what crime she committed." "I know what happened to her." "Release her." "Out of the question." "Police affairs are part of my authority." "This is a matter for the municipal police." "So according to articles 9, 11, 15 and 70 of the Police regulation  as a mayor, I judge this matter." "Be cursed." "It's all your fault." "Because of you I got fired." "And because of you I was obliged to sell my body." "They say you are a good person." "But you are evil, you are the devil." "I curse you, I curse you." "Monsieur Javert, release her." "I won't repeat this no more." "Let her go." "Come on, sister." "Simonot, take a pen, ink and some paper." "I will dictate a letter to the director of the State Security." "Hand over this letter personally." "If you leave this night, you will arrive tomorrow morning in Paris." "'You appointed me as an inspector in Montreuil  with the secret mission to research the financial matters  of the mayor of this city, a certain monsieur Madeleine." "I say 'a certain', because I got convinced of the fact that this man...'" "Not so fast." " Excuse me, Simonet." "I have been waiting for this moment a long time." "How is she?" "It's not her wounds that worry me the most." "But she coughs all the time and has high temperature." "I'm not a doctor, but..." "If she would die, it would be because of me." "Unforgivable." "But you are not responsible." "Madame Victurnien..." "I visit the factory every day." "I should have noticed Fantine was gone." "Do you anything yet?" "Fantine is afraid she will never see her daughter again." "According to the people Cosette is living with, she is ill." "What is their name?" " Thenardier." "They own an inn in Montfermeil." "I suspect it isn't charity." "They ask 20 francs a month." "I would hope they treat her extremely well." "Fantine is three months late in paying." " I'll send 200 francs immediate." "And I'll ask them to sent Cosette over here." "Don't ask." "Request." "It's urgent." "An unmarried mother, that hided this fact." "It seemed right to do so..." "Right?" "Who do you think you are, to decide about good and wrong?" "God even doesn't judge the poor." "But you, Madame Victurnien, put yourself above god himself." "You judge and punishes without asking yourself who you're judging." "Could I have a word please, mayor?" "In private please." "Could you excuse us?" "I'm listening." " I request you to fire me." "I have made a serious error." "I'm not worthy the duty of the police." "What are you trying to tell me?" "Because of excessive sense of duty, I have sinned." "When you saved the life of Fauchelevent, I said I knew only one man capable of doing something like that." "A convicted labourer." "I thought you were that man." "I reported to the head of State Security  that I had found Jean Valjean." "That's the former convict's name." "I waited for instructions to arrest you." "But these instructions will not arrive." "Jean Valjean is already arrested." "What do you mean?" "A certain Champmathieu is being detained in Arras for stealing apples." "In this prison, two former convicts are being held too." "They recognized Champmathieu as Jean Valjean  who, although denying his crime, will be sentenced tomorrow morning in Arras." "The sentence probably will consist of forced labour for a life time." "I almost got you sentenced  and a terrible juridical mistake would have lied on my conscience." "That's why I request you to remove me from my duties." "I will wait at home for a letter that will end my duties and career." "Excuse me, mayor." "I came to light the candles." "You are inside all day already  without wanting to meet anybody or eat anything." "What wrong?" "Are you ill?" "Shall I call for doctor Cornette?" "I want to be left alone." "Light..." "Your illustrious light  bishop of Digne." "I can't let another man, who's held for being someone else, suffer." "Because that other person, that is me." "I need you, monsignor." "Does she suffer heavily?" "She's afraid to die before she had the chance to see her daughter." "If Thenardier doesn't return her this week, I will go and get Cosette myself." "How could I have doubt?" "To what?" "That my duties are here." "Were you reading something for her?" "A beautiful parable of the good shepherd." "About the shepherd who leaves his flock to go and search for the lost sheep." "Unimaginable  that he leaves his flock, for which he is responsible, alone  to try to find one lost sheep." "The shepherd trusted the lord to look after the flock." "So he could search for the sheep easily." "The flock has nothing to fear when the lord is the shepherd." "Doesn't that reassure you?" "Reassuring?" "What you just told me, is very clear." "Horrible, but clear." "Monsieur Scaufflaire, open the door!" "Hurry!" "I'm coming mayor." " Quick." "Hurry." "I need your gig." "Harness the horse." "The horse has worked all day long, the poor animal is asleep." "I've got 20 miles to cover." "No horse can cope with that." "Where do you need to go to?" "To Arras." " Take the stage-coach tomorrow afternoon." "That will be too late." "I offer you 500 francs." "To rent a horse and carriage?" "That's theft." "I buy them." "If I don't return, you won't be harmed." "Quick." "It's none of my business." "But if you are in such a rush  to arrive in Arras, there will be a lot at stake." "A human's life." "You are requested to take into account that this is a matter of recidivism." "Twenty-nine years ago, Jean Valjean has stolen some bread." "And ten years ago, this same Jean Valjean  did steal some money of the young chimney sweeper Petit-Gervais." "And now..." " I don't even know that Petit-Gervais." "And don't call me Jean Valjean." "My name is Champmathieu." "Chammathieu, dammed." " Silence, you miserable." "Even your defender begs you to admit you are Jean Valjean." "I'm not." "I never went to a prison camp." "Your defence is worthless." "Please admit." "Two fellow prisoners from Toulon, Cochepaille and Chenildieu  have testified you are Jean Valjean." "I don't understand." "I didn't do anything to them." "I don't even know them." "Suspect, please think." "If you continue to refuse obstinately, I'll have you removed  and this trial will continue without you." "So I ask you one more time:" "Are you the former convict Jean Valjean?" "I am not." "My name is Jean, but Jean Mathieu." "And that became Champmathieu." " A certain Champmathieu without parents  friend and relatives." "You are no human, you are nothing." "These do exist, people that have lost everything." "Guards, please bring in Cochepaille and Chenildieu." "My god, they are ugly." "God may look different than you." "God must be blind." "Or good." "Chenildieu, what can you say?" " That this is Jean Valjean." "Got into labour camp in 1796 and was released in 1815." "Cochepaille, do you recognize the suspect?" "We have been chained one to another for 5 years." "A special band so to speak." "No joking Cochepaille." "Accused, what can you say to this?" "Cochepaille and Chenildieu, look at me." " That's the mayor of Montreuil." "Don't you recognize me?" "Can I ask you something mayor..." " I would like to ask you something, Your Honour" "Please release Champmathieu." "And have me being arrested, because I am Jean Valjean." "The president asks if there's a doctor in the audience." "For me?" "Not necessary." "I am completely sane." "I feel all right." "Much better than the last couple of hours, when I was tortured by uncertainty." "Until I knew what I had to do." "And I made my mind up completely." "But you can't be a former convict." "Why not?" "Because I wear a silk scarf and a hat?" "Because I don't match your idea of a criminal?" "Appalling... the habit to judge people by the way they look." "Chenildieu, do you remember you served us warm food?" "Yes, that's correct." "How much would you ask for a spoon of the so called 'ragout'?" "Five sous, isn't it?" " That's correct." "That doesn't prove anything, monsieur Madeleine." "Everybody knows these kind of stories and can come up with such a detail." "A lot of convictions aren't even based on such detailed evidence." "Now it's your turn Cochepaille." "Isn't there a scarf on your left shoulder, caused by a burning wooden beam?" "How do you know about that?" " Take off your shirt." "Who saved your life?" " Jean Valjean." "Where is he now?" " In front of me." "Louder, where is he?" "You are Jean Valjean." "I won't interrupt much longer." "I'm leaving now, because I don't want to be arrested now." "I have some business to take care of." "He walked into the river to trick the dogs." "But up the river or downward?" "Against the stream, of course." "Just as he acts against the law, and even against his own interests." "Surround the shed." "Search everything." "Stick the bayonets into the straw." "They bark as if..." " Animals are afraid of fire." "Send them away." "They could easily lose their sense of smell." "It's getting dark." "And a thunderstorm is approaching." "We will continue until we found him." "Inspector Javert supposed you would return." "I needed to be on guard." "No one is as reliable as god's servant." "Is this a gun so you can shoot me?" "Do you think I'm capable of doing so?" " Yesterday not, but today  I just don't know." " There are empty cartridges in it." "I need to shoot to warn him." "Here I am." "Why don't you shoot?" " I won't him that you were here." "That's a lie, sister." "That would be the second one today." "This morning, I lied to the poor Fantine." "Better a lie that heals than a truth that wounds." "Were you hit by lightning?" " More or less." "I provoked it myself." "I knew you were special, but I didn't suspect even the lightning would obey you." "I am curious if even a religious sister obeys me." "Turn around." "I'm going to undress." "What are your plans?" " Disappear." "That's all I want to tell about it." "Don't you trust me?" "Forget about me." "As if I never excited." "That will be hard." "I am very found of you, monsieur." "Just like everyone around here." "Your sympathy means nothing compared to the hatred of Javert." "We proved him wrong." "I take 600 000 francs." "The money doesn't belong to the city, it belongs to the factory." "I leave behind 100 000 francs for Fantines funeral." "Please continue my good deeds." "And when the safe will be empty..." "God will fill it again." "He doesn't forget the miserables, you gave the good example." "You can turn around again." "If I do so, I'll need to cry." "And I'm only allowed to cry when thinking about Christ suffering." "'The sergeant of Waterloo', Montfermeil." "I asked for directions there once." "A little slattern walks around there, probably the daughter of Fantine." "Valjean went to that direction." "But Montfermeil is beyond my jurisdiction." "I should ask Paris for permission." "Let us warn Montfermeil." " Valjean is a smart man." "I know him very well." "I need to take care of this case." " He will be disappeared later." "Hunters often see their prey only the moment they strike." "If we just didn't lose his track." "What are you standing there, little eavesdropper?" "You better carry some water from the well." " No, I don't want to go there." "It scares me when I go there." "Would you rather pick some stinging nettles for a serious beating?" "And on your way back, buy a round bread at the bakery." "There are 15 sous." "How are Cosettes teeth?" " Why do you ask?" "There is an Italian man standing at the marketplace, and he's prepared to pay 4 francs a tooth." "I didn't check her mouth, but it could easily be worth a 100 francs." "Well done, Eponine." "You are just taking care of business like your father." "Cosette will eat less bread too." " I would like to pull some teeth from her." "No, I want to do that." "I'm so sorry Madame." "I wasn't able to find the well in the dark." "I did find it, but there was so much mud in it." "And you wouldn't want to get the mud." "Shall I get you some stinging nettles for some beating?" "You scared me, lousy animal!" "Don't be scared little girl." "Let me help you carry the bucket." "No problem." "I will guide you to your mother." "Come here, little child." "Did it hurt?" "What's wrong?" "I will bring you to your mother." "What is her name?" " I don't have a mother." "Why so?" "Everybody has a mother." "I don't." "My mother would have never left me alone." "Alone?" "You live alone?" "Practically." "That monsieur and Madame hit me all the time." "Monsieur and Madame?" "Are you a serving girl?" " I am nothing." "But what are their names?" "Thenardier." "So your name would be..." " I am called Cosette." "So you are Cosette." "This is what happened to you." "Labelled 'Cuvee imperiale', and a red wax sign will impress the guests." "Finally, you little monster." " I thought her name is Cosette?" "Excuse me, pilgrims care more about a pure soul than their clothes." "But I got some money." "What would you like?" " To eat and sleep." "This will do for a meal." "But a place to sleep requires some more." "Could I get a heated room?" " For this amount  you can sleep in the barn." "Excuse me." "We have exquisite customers  that don't like to be mixed with travellers." "This inn has some fame." "Let alone the wine..." "This is a 'cuvee imperiale', the emperor drank it just before Waterloo." "He should have preferred water." "Speaking of water..." "Cosette brought some water." "That bucket is much too heavy for such a child." "She's very strong, thanks to the good food she gets here." "Don't you, my love?" "And where is the bread, little darling?" "Look at her." "As if I would hit her." "So you will get some old bread." "But a pilgrim isn't afraid of a simple meal." "Give me back the money child." " Yes, Madame." "He's my cash." " I fell in the woods." "Did you lose the money?" " Wait a minute." "I just noticed a coin fell out her apron." "Could it have been this coin?" "Yes, I recognize it." "Don't you, my husband?" "For sure." "Thank you monsieur." "What a luck." "You deserved a good meal." "To the kitchen, my wife." "That's a lovely doll." "What is its name?" " Don't tell anyone." "It isn't mine." "Aren't you allowed to play with it?" "It's a real one." "How is it possible that those 15 sous we gave to the silly child  changed into 5 francs?" " He didn't want you to hit her." "This is a fortune for a poor pilgrim." " Maybe it's no pilgrim after all." "The monster makes his heart weak." "Let's play that game with him  just to get some more money out of him." "Thanks to his money and the earnings of Cosettes teeth you can buy yourself some pretty boots." "Those long, black ones, with leather laces." "Don't touch my daughters doll." "Excuse me, that doll belongs to Cosette." "Would a 100 francs do for such a rag doll?" "I never bought a doll before." "Apparently it's not enough." "I thins 200 francs will be reasonable." "Cosette, here's your doll back." "Just play with it." "You should eat it when it's still hot" " I'm not hungry anymore." "I hope you aren't mad at us?" "You thought I wanted to hit Cosette." "But I just planned on scare her." "The little pity girl is quite morbid." "We are terrified by it." "And these doctors and medicines are expensive." "Sick children cost a fortune." "So you would like to get rid of the child?" "On the other side, we are very found of her." "It would break my heart watching her leave." " There's little that can make this up." "How much?" " What do you mean?" "How much should compensate your loss?" "An inn needs a serving maid." " She isn't worth very much to you." "She can barely carry a bucket." "And she loses your money." "It would be a catastrophe, but still... 1500 francs." "What do you think?" "It wouldn't compensate my tears very much." "But if monsieur insists..." " Please lead me to the barn." "No, a companion in business should sleep in a nice room." "Which nice room?" "Ours of course." "This is the first time you sleep in a real bed?" "One gets used to the good things in life very quickly." "It's a shame, because soon, one can't life without them anymore." "I can't promise you very much." "But nobody takes away the things I give to you." "I will care for you." "No one will harm you anymore." "I would feel ashamed lying on their bed." "But is means compensation to you." "Rise and shine my love." "There's work to be done." "They are sleeping like a log." "How could you give them our room last night?" "One should appease a pig before slaughtering it." "You shouldn't exaggerate." " Those 1500 francs taste like more." "I heard a pile of banknotes rustle in his pocket." "He doesn't owe us anything." " Yes, he owes us hush money." "He probably disguises himself as a pilgrim because the money doesn't belong to him." "So it can be ours as well." "What would such a scoundrel do with a mite like that?" " He wants to be somebody." "I take this with me in case he doesn't cooperate." "Dash it!" "The bird has flown away." "I knew this would be suspicious." "And look at this." "A jacket for weekdays and a dress on Sundays." "What do you think?" "It's beautiful monsieur." " Don't call me 'monsieur'." "Especially when there are people around." "You should call me 'daddy'." "And you need some shoes." "Shoes, together with warm linen socks." "Come, go inside." "Scarponi will turn you into a real princess." "Go ahead, stand in front of the mirror." "Our little princess has the most beautiful hair." "Simply magnificent." "It almost looks like silk, gold wire." "Shall we cut some locks?" " Don't touch it." "I care for her." "How unkind to leave without a word." "Weren't you satisfied?" "Was there something missing?" "What about moist straw?" "Bars?" "Chains?" "I can take care of that." "Those two love doing those things." "Shall I call them?" "No?" "You rather don't involve them in our little dispute?" "I'd rather do the same." "But this secrecy isn't for free." "5000 francs sound reasonably." " You move only once and I'll cut your throat." "That should mean prison camp." " I just left prison camp." "But you will never return from hell." "What do you want?" " You return home quietly." "And if you report me to the police, I will kill you." "And if I 'm not able to do it, someone else will kill you." "Is it clear?" "Move it!" "You look pretty Cosette." "You look just like your mother." "What does this mean?" "We are respected people." "Do you happen to know the sentence for helping a former convict who's on the run?" "Search him!" " I couldn't have known about that?" "He had a omelette for dinner and spent the night." "We, being poor people, need to work." "This is called poverty?" "Where does the money come from?" "It's his." " Jean Valjean?" "I don't know his name." "But I would wish for generous guests more often." "You wouldn't claim he paid such an amount  to get an omelette and a bed?" "He bought our little maid." "I have no clue what he wants to do to her." "He will turn her into a prostitute." "We objected, she's still a child." "A child?" "So you sold him a child?" "We do the best we can." "We have two little daughters ourselves." "Thenardier, you are arrested." "Please don't hurt him!" "Don't touch my husband!" "He once saved the life of an army officer." "He's a hero." "Take him." "Give the money to them." "Don't leave me alone." "Don't the want the coffin, Gavroche?" " There's a hole in it." "I told them: a woodworm will make some more holes very soon." "But I'd like to have it." "A great closet for my castle." "Here, your wages." " Now go, I'll take care of business." "If she's dead I can tell you where to get a nice coffin." "No, she's asleep." "I'm looking for a room." " What kind of a room?" "A modest one for a reasonable price." "At Madame Gorbeau's place." "But as soon as it gets dark, she closes the door." "What about a little hotel?" "You can sleep at my place for 5 sous." "Tomorrow, at sunrise, you can see the beauty of Paris." "Isn't it stylish?" "My three-room apartment." "This is the living room so to speak." "And this is my bedroom." "This will be your room for the night." "Did you have some dinner?" "I don't own a restaurant you see." "No, but we're not hungry." "But if you would like to have some bread and sausage..." "I'd like to, otherwise the rats will eat it." "They even ate my kitten." " You don't have to be afraid for anything." "Even rats?" " Even people." "What's your name?" " Leblanc." "They call me monsieur Leblanc." "I was living off my private means, but they took away the money." "At least there's someone you can blame." "Not me." "I never owned anything." "Isn't this yours?" " What's that?" "It could have fallen out of the clothes of a dead man." "Some 'poor bodies' turn out to be very rich." "It's better to be alive and poor." " You will never be a rich man." "You are as miserable as me." " Worse." "The thing you ask me to do..." " Is disgusting, indeed." "But if Valjean finds out about it, he'll be gone for good." "Valjean..." "But how can you be so sure?" "The description matches really well, except for one small detail:" "My sources didn't notice any little girl." "That's why I want you to have a look in his dwelling  to find out if..." "Please, my friend, let me help you to carry this." " Not necessary." "You are strong enough." "But I want to make some money." "I don't need anyone." "Very good, one months rent." "I wish all tenants were like this." "Madame Gorbeau, I noticed a strange beggar downstairs." "There are more of those in here." " Poverty makes one lifeless and sick." "But he looked energetic and healthy." "Don't be afraid." "The police monitors the neighbourhood quite often lately." "Police?" " Yes, monsieur Leblanc." "Good night." "Cosette, wake up!" "Get dressed, we're leaving." "If something happened, go to Gavroche." " No, there are rats around there." "Worse men are walking around here." "There're everywhere." "Quick." "He just slipped through the net." "And we set up the trap so thoroughly." "Continue hunting for him, captain." "Rout him, exhaust him  until he surrenders." "Where did you lose him?" "Near the park Ste." "Genevieve." "He's planning on crossing the river Seine." "Go!" "Freeze Valjean, or I'll shoot you." "This way." "We almost got him." " We will catch him." "Go!" "I didn't shoot because of the little child." "We are servants of the law, we're no barbarians." "Please have your men prepared." "Come along." "Out of the way." "Out of the way." "Come with me, Cosette." "Hands up!" "Hold the rope firmly." "Who's there?" "Who are you?" "Come closer to me." "I want to see your villain's face!" "Monsieur Madeleine, oh dear!" "Fauchelevent?" "Monsieur Fauchelevent!" "Yes, enter." "He would never cross that wall." "Let alone together with a child." "I've seen him do unimaginable things." "He's supernaturally strong." "And even if he would be inside, it won't be for long." "It's a convent, for women only." "Valjean is clever." "On of his specialities is acting like a saint." "He cheated on an entire city." "So a handful of sisters..." "Surround the convent." "As soon as he leaves, we'll get him." "My daughter, Cosette." " Are you married monsieur Madeleine?" "Please, don't ask anything." "And stop calling me monsieur Madeleine." " Okay, monsieur the mayor." "Forget about that as well." " How should I call you?" "I want you to know I did nothing wrong." "Even if you were the devil himself, I would kiss your hands." "I'm so happy you arranged this job for me as a gardener." "I'll do anything for you." " They are after us." "Could you accommodate us?" " For one night or a couple of days?" "I don't know." "That man that's after me won't give up very easily." "I don't ask it because of me." "I'm not afraid anymore." "But it's about my daughter." "The sisters never come to this place." "They're so afraid of men that they made me wear this." "So they can avoid me, as if I'm a leper." "I'm only in touch with Mother Superior." "This is a boarding school as well." "And those young ladies aren't afraid of men." "It won't be easy to keep your presence a secret." "So it will be better for me if I showed myself." "I'm sure you have relatives somewhere?" "A brother, living in Amiens." "What's his name?" " Ultime Fauchelevent." "While you are helping your brother, we can take care of the education of your daughter." "Cosette will appreciate this very much, Mother." "Appreciation?" "Appreciation has nothing to do with education, monsieur Fauchelevent." "Here, we educate little girls to become sisters later." "Would you care to become a nun?" "I don't know, sister." " Reverend Mother." "She'll get ugly  so she'll be a good nun." "It seems clear to me, inspector." "He isn't leave the convent." "He must have found a helper inside." "A nun willing to help a criminal?" "Sign the search warrant and I'll prove I'm right." "This won't happen, inspector Javert." "A niece of the police chief is at Picpus." "He won't allow your soldiery to enter and disturb the quiet of the communion  of which he is patron." " So we'll leave Jean Valjean a free man." "That's how it will be." "What are the charges against that man?" "Theft of 40 sous." "Just a piece of cake." "No, it's recidivism." "But because of that, he doesn't harm society." "The police has found out it's best to pay attention to ideas rather then actions." "Forget about Valjean, forget about the scum of the earth." "I think you're worth more than that." "You better infiltrate into student societies  in which words like 'republic' and 'anarchy' are beginning to strike root" "Would you want me to let thieves go in order to get involved into politics?" "Ideas can do much more harm than theft." "Your new tenant, Madame Gorbeau." " Baron Marius Pontmercy." "Pleasure." "Well, what do you say?" "Good I even know a baron." "On the contrary." "A baron who knocks at this door must be broke." "Can you afford the rent?" "Did there live some children around here?" " It must have been six years ago." "A father and his daughter." "They lived like hermits." "One night they left." "Get those drawings out of here..." "A child with such a creep behind the trees  will cause me nightmares." " I'll be dreaming of these." "Mme Fauchelevent, put on your hat immediately." "That child has gone mad." "Is it you, my brother?" "We'll have some good dinner and open up a nice bottle of wine." "Wine?" "What's to celebrate?" " Cosette give me a signal she'll come to visit on Sunday." "A sign..." "Your daughter and you are just like children." "Cosette is no child anymore." "How are we supposed to communicate if we aren't allowed to speak to each other?" "What was the sign this time?" "She would take off her hat and let the sun shine on her hair." "Beautiful." "And what if there wouldn't have been any sun?" " We've had enough of bad weather." "Women that show their hair are strumpets." "If this happened again  you'll be shaved." "But this time you'll bring 50 crosses  on to the chapel's floor." "With your tongue." " Thank you Mother." "Why didn't you eat anything?" "My tongue still hurts." "These tiles are very rough." "She shouldn't have punished you like that." "When I'm here, I forget about it." "I see you're very lucky in here." "Together with you I can be lucky anywhere." "If Mother Superior would know I was in bed, together with a man..." "I'm your father, that's different." "You never talk about my mother." "Your mother..." "She has had a very severe life." "She loved you very much." "I hope you'll be as happy as she was unhappy." "I don't even know her name." "Fantine." "Her name was Fantine." "Such a pretty name." "It's a name for a doll." "People played with her, demolished her." "But..." "But?" "But however worn out, declined and dirty she became..." "You have no clue about how pretty your mother has been." "Just like you." "What are you doing here?" "She has grown." "Very much." "Monsieur Fauchelevent, I need a word." "Time for communion is approaching." " I'll be wearing white flowers." "I'm not worried about that." "Just..." "You haven't sent me a list of people you'd wish to invite  to celebrate the communion of Cosette." "I don't know very many people." " You and your brother are the only family she has got?" "She has nobody else." " So I should point out that  she has her family here, around her." "Don't act so surprised, monsieur Fauchelevent." "You know very well why we, besides meditating spend so much time on the girls." "Not all of them enter the convent." " Not all of them." "But Cosette is very special." "She's the only one that got accommodation and education for free." "She owes us something in return." "That's to say, she owes it to god." "I'm working here in exchange for education for my daughter." "This was the deal." " I don't want to ask for any money." "But the communion of your daughter should be a reason  for you to think about what god might expect of her." "You are no friend of god." "The moment you arrived here, you didn't attend a single mass." "Trees and plants grow on Sundays too." "Gardeners are rarely good Christians." "In the garden of Eden  the original sin was committed." "Our Cosette is the prettiest." "And I'm not saying that because I'm her uncle." "Nonsense, you are not her uncle." "It's almost a little bride." "She's got the right age." "I won't show you the garden." "Because it's so cold, not all the flowers are blooming yet." "But in the summer..." "I'll introduce you to our gardeners." "Thanks to them, we commit a true sin every summer  when we refresh our senses with these miracles." "The brothers Fauchelevent." "Count Angles, head of the police." "Gentlemen, my congratulations." "I wish I could exterminate the scum like weeds." "You turn it into fertilizer?" "We burn it." "I sent the weeds to prison camps  there, it forms human compost, that stinks and is unusable." "You should demolish these labour camps." " If only you knew..." "There are some lunatics that share this opinion." "We found a student that wrote a revolutionary pamphlet  in which he pleaded for the closure of prison camps." "The judge sent him to Toulon: five years of forced labour." "This way, he can see for himself the labour camps still have a purpose." "He was dreaming." "You punish him because of his dreams." "How dare you?" "The head of police knows better than you." "No, you should have been there to know." " I was there, my friend." "I visited Toulon and Rochefort." " Visited?" "You had a good time?" "Yes, the weather was beautiful and warm." "I imagine." "A little walk around the walls, under a parasol." "Sometimes a break to watch the sea. 'What a pretty view for that scum.'" "How imprudent monsieur Fauchelevent." "I'll keep my mouth shut, Mother." "I need to get back to work." "You have reached the age to make a decision, my child." "Did you discuss it with your dad?" "The better." "He might have influenced you decision." "He's very found of you." " He's the only one I have." "To god that's even too much." "A novice  should abandon all of her earthly bandings, even the most natural." "Who suggests I would become a novice?" "Well..." "Think about it." "Tomorrow morning, at the matins, you will tell me your decision." "Thank you Mother, for you have given me the privilege..." "I have resisted your presence in this convent  with all my strength." "You have been permitted entrance because count d'Angles ordered me to do so." "Please, make your presence here as short as possible." "The count told me about the comments of your gardener  and my attention was drawn to them." "Monsieur Fauchelevent has received a reprimand for his bold behaviour." "I don't need the police to do so." "It's me arranging disciplinary measures in here." "Interesting, I once knew a certain Fauchelevent in Montreuil." "That should have been someone else." "Before Ultime Fauchelevent arrived in this convent, he lived in Amiens." "Did he arrive together with a girl?" "A girl?" "The gardener's daughter?" "If monsieur Fauchelevent is really a gardener..." " No monsieur." "The girls that are admitted to this convent  are originating from the high society." "Can I talk to the gardener?" " No." "Why not?" " To enter the garden, one should  cross the space, closed for the outside world." "This won't be possible." "Send him in." "Why not?" "Vespers starts." "I agree on monsieur Fauchelevent being somewhat bold  but one thing: bold of not, he didn't say anything foolish." "But Mother Superior, I was told he protested violently against..." "A certain juridical process, yes." "But I wonder, wouldn't Christ just have said the same thing?" "Wasn't our lord victim of a juridical error?" "Monsieur, vespers..." "Sister of discipline." "I have lied." "To keep the order and quiet in the convent." "But I have lied." "Twenty strokes, and don't restrain yourself." "It's not god that causes me aversion, it's about the thought to be locked up in here  without having been able to see something of the world around." "I have never danced, never sit in a carriage, never wore gloves." "Calm down Cosette." "You probably think of me as a silly goose ." "But I want to travel with you to the sea, and dance." "I want to look good, just for you." "Don't you think nuns are elegant?" "I agree with you." "If I don't enter, we'll be sent away." "Whatever may be my decision, it will be disastrous." "No Cosette." "I don like it in here too." "But that should be at the expense of your happiness." "I don't hate god." "I have forgiven him all of my misery." "But to lock you away, never." "Come, join us." " No, I'm too old." "I'll be an obstruction to you." "You are the one that found me this house of refuge." "If I can stay, I'll be the living evidence of monsieur Madeleine being a good person." "Although his real name is Jean Valjean." "How do you know?" "You talk in your sleep." "Monsieur Marius, these are your new neighbours." "DO you get paid for finding new tenants?" "Unfortunately not." "When you become a lawyer, you can make Madame Gorbeau pay me." "My name is Jondrette." "My wife and daughters." "With whom have I the honour?" "He's a baron." "But you can call him Marius." " A baron?" "In here?" "Everything gets mixed up nowadays." "My name is Eponine." "You can call me Ponine." "Leave the baron." "What is the dwelling place like?" " It depends on what you expect." "Nothing, baron." "We expect nothing at all." "I have fought for France myself." "It brought me nothing but misery." "If only I would have been hurt, then I would have received social allowance." "It would have been better for me to die in misery at Waterloo, together with my comrades." "My father fought in Waterloo as well." " He was an officer." "Officers get decorated." "Not that this provides you with any money, but you are respected." "Not at all." "My poor father was looked down on and turned down." "I'm sure we'll get along." " I think so too." "A welcome gift." "To get ingredients for a nice meal." "Gavroche?" "He'll tell you where to get the best products." "Thank you, baron." "I'm mach too proud to beg." "But if you insist..." "What do you say to the baron?" " Thank you, monsieur." "Get the things Ponine." "And stop staring at him." "He's a baron, not your type." "Let him have an eye on her." "One can pluck money from a baron as well." "Is this your luggage?" "Are you leaving?" "I haven't sent you away yet." " I fulfil you wish in advance." "But Cosette..." " The first day you looked at her  and you said: 'She'll be ugly.'" " So she'll be a good nun." "But look at her." "When you look close, you should admit  that Cosette didn't get ugly, she got beautiful." "Very beautiful." "Maybe too beautiful." "So she doesn't enter." "Well, to be honest, I expected so." "It's not just what you refer to as 'her beauty' that holds her back, it's you." "I respect your decision, but you are making a mistake." "Nowhere can she be as safe as in here." "Why would you want to be safe?" "I know what I'm saying." "For all your good deeds." "To thank you for everything you did for Cosette." "I give you a fully-qualified girl in return." "Ungrateful, but qualified." "She can read, write, count, sew and cook." "And she even speaks Latin." "I would like to thank you in particular for something else she learned in here." "She learned to smile." " Smile?" "In here?" "Cosette, show her how you can smile." "Stop it, dreadful child!" "You know it's forbidden." "Here, in Petit-Picpus no one has laughed before." "No someone has." "Regard it as a farewell present." "You are the first one in my life I called 'mother'." "In Brutus mind, the man he killed wasn't a father, but a symbol of power  that made the Roman people suffer." "History can put Brutus to trial only in a political way." "And in this trial, Brutus will be cleared of charges... and Caesar must be convicted, together with all tyrants around him." "We'll win this battle with him." "He's a genius." "Think, young people." "Political crimes are crimes as well." "Do you know who he is?" "He hanged around when I started studying." "He's no teacher." " For sure." "He's one of those students for ever, one that always fails his examinations." "Not everyone is as intelligent as Marius." "Bravo, comrade." " Congratulations." "Salvation and fraternity!" "What an impressive plea" "You'll become a good lawyer." "Become a member of the bar, and you..." "Enjolras, you know I'm not searching for glory." "I'm searching for the man that saved my father's life at Waterloo." "That doesn't count as a goal in life?" " If necessary." "To find and reward sergeant Thenardier, that was my father's wish." "I've got a mission too." "I need to take you with us." "To cafe Musain, where we will celebrate your final plea worthy." "There they are." " You were great." "Such a strong plea." " Comrades, listen to me." "On behalf if everybody I told Marius Pontmercy  that he's worthy of our company." " Thank you." "One moment." "Pontmercy, before you get the chance to buy us as much wine as we can drink  I want to be sure that you share our opinions." " I'm against the king." "Long live the Republic" " Vive la republic." "Would you want to fight alongside to recover the republic?" "Yes, with everything I got." " Vive la republic." "Are you willing to die for it?" "I hope this won't happen" " And if it happens?" "I know this thing for sure:" "I don't want to life in tyranny." "Vive la republic" " And long live Marius." "Gentlemen, not so loud." "The police might close us down." "It's time to drink something." "Monsieur, mademoiselle, excuse me." "I often walk in this park, but..." "But what?" " I've never seen you before." "And if I had, I would never have forgotten about you." "There are numerous places my daughter and I never visited." "But I rather think this is none of your business." "Let's go home." "An angel." "I've seen an angel." "Scum!" "You look so pale." "Don't worry about it." "They look like people, but they're animals, worse." "To business." "What would you like in return for this feast?" "I've met an angel." " I don't get it." "If you need me to catch rats, I'm the one you need." "But catch an angel..." "Find out where she lives." " That won't be easy." "It will be." "When you see her, you'll know it's her." "First, she's beautiful." "And I mean gorgeous, ravishing, unreal." "Her look is like velvet: dark, but full of light." "She has the prettiest mouth one can imagine: rose like a pearl." "Her lips are youthful and full." "She wears a had with bands and a colourful dress with buttons." "But this is the most important: her name is Ursule." "Look, this is her handkerchief with her initials." "Ursule is the only girl's name starting with an U." "And what about the F?" " That must be her given name" "Flore, Fanny, Francoise, Frederique." "Where do I find that Ursule?" "It's not easy to make a living in Paris." "This must be the benefactor they sent us." "Let's not disappoint him." "Zelma, lay on the bed  and cough your head off ." "Turn off the stove." "That would look rich." "Have you seen a ghost?" " It's him!" "Who?" " I'm telling you, him!" "Darned, I'll get back at that monster." "And I'll do it well." "If he doesn't come across generously   it will be his end." "Hopeless, we even don't have any slacks left." "And this long winter..." "We're not afraid of the cold." "But it's so cruel to our sick little girl." "Where does she suffer from?" " A lung disease." "Se coughs up blood." "But it will end very soon." "Luckily she can die in our arms." "Her pulse rate is quiet." " So it can stop later?" "Look at the sweat on her fore head." "She feels cool." " It's the cold of the approaching death." "That's all it is." "Death." "Already?" "You're not telling me you're hungry again?" "Make yourself useful, go downstairs to get some water." "Leave the dishes." "I found her, the angel you're looking for." "Ursele?" " No." "Her name is Claudette of Colette." "Claudette or Colette Leblanc." "Help me with the table, I'll show you a miracle." "There are holes like this in every room." "So that Gorbeau witch can spy on her tenants." "Did you consult a doctor?" " How am I supposed to pay for a doctor?" "We already know what he would say:" "If she had eaten some more food, it wouldn't have happened." "I brought something..." "My daughter, mademoiselle Favre." "Mademoiselle Favre?" "You just told me her name is Leblanc." "No worries, when we're married she'll carry my name." "A wedding?" "I'd love to come too." "I only visit funerals." "Even without an invitation!" "There's a saying: goodness leads to beauty." "Speaking of beauty..." "Well, we should accept it." " Not satisfied, Jondrette?" "Yes, but money is the most important." " Which money?" "Didn't they tell you about the 60 francs?" "No, otherwise I would have brought you those." "We are behind on paying the rent." "If we don't pay by tomorrow morning, we'll lose the apartment." "Imagine this, with our dying child." " I'll bring you the money this evening." "Who can assure me you return?" " Do you know who sent me here?" "Charity of St.-Vincent-de-Paul. That seems like enough certainty." "She was so close." "I could almost touch her." "You should have done so." "Ladies don't bite." "I'll prepare a welcome to that citizen he won't forget very quick." "You too recognized him?" "He has stolen Cosette." "Because of him I got arrested." "Didn't you recognize the prissy girl?" "Do you really think that..." " Yes, that ugly monster." "She has changed, she learned some manners now." "And blushing and looking prudish." "Such a goody-goody ." " I almost can't believe it." "It's not fair." "Compared to her, Azelma and I look like scarecrows." "Did she recognize us?" " No, but you never know." "Maybe he doesn't return, and we'll have to go elsewhere for charity." "And if he did recognize me, he won't return out of goodness  but because he's afraid that I report him." "Where do you go to?" " Get some friends." "To teach him." "They're monsters." "We need to do something." " Warn Favre?" "He has left in his carriage already." "We'll follow Jondrette." "As soon as we find out his plans, we'll interfere." "I always like a little fun." "It could get dangerous." " I'll protect you." "Police Department" "It's smell quite nasty in here." "This is where the sewers end." "All the dung from Paris ends in here." "It appears to be a robbers' den." "Do people live here?" " Well, a bunch of murderers, yes." "The gang of Potron-Minet." "You should see." "I've got a job for you." "If you promise to do what I tell you to do, it won't be much of an effort." "We aren't frightened easily." "But we will take him by surprise." "Do exactly as I tell you to do." " Go to mademoiselle Gorbeau." "If monsieur Favre and his daughter arrive early  think of something." "But make sure they don't visit the Jondrettes." "And what about you?" "We'll have enough time." "The Potron-Minet gang never leaves before dark." "Why should we wait?" "You know their hiding place." "If we catch them in the middle of the act, the punishment will be much more severe." "You, being a future lawyer, should know about that." "I'm not concerned about their conviction." "I want to prevent monsieur Favre..." "Can you handle this thing?" "I'm sure I can." "But I'd rather not try." "You will need it." "You are a part of my plan." "It's your plan, not mine." "I'm not called to become a policeman." "It's not about your mission, it's about your duty as a citizen to help the police." "Citizens have a freedom of opinion." "And I think..." "I know what you think." "I know what kind of plans you and your henchmen  are making in the cafe Musain." "One paux pas and you'll all be arrested on conspiracy against the State." "It's your choice: with me of against me." "What should I do?" "Don't rush." "The moment you think monsieur Favre is in danger  you shoot into the air." "We'll be hiding in the street." "After your shot we'll open the door by force and catch them in the middle of the act." "These things excite you, don't they?" "Our family consists of hunters." "Man hunters of course." "I've never been able to accept that my father was forced  to sell his dogs, horses and grounds." "He was the victim of an impostor that I caught  and sent to labour camp." "He died there." "I was with him." "Gavroche, has Jondrette arrived yet?" "Yes, and six criminals hiding behind the curtains." "As soon as the old bloke arrives, they'll jump on him." "There, monsieur Favre arrives." "Did he arrive together with his daughter?" "No, alone." "I'll give you 200." "So you can breath more easily." "Do you think so?" "Is there anything else I can do for you?" " Sure there is." "I'm not rich, but I'm clever." "Men!" "The drama has ended." "You didn't forget me, did you?" "Did you come here to make my life even harder?" " You miserable one!" "But villains have sick children." "How dare you calling me a villain?" "Because you're rich and I'm not?" "Because I didn't get a single slice of bread, but the rich eat truffles the whole time  with expensive asparagus in January, green peas, strawberries and chicken  juice dishes of which I don't even know how they're called?" "If you want to find out if it's cold or not, you read the paper." "We feel the cold in our bodies." "We feel the cold via the blood in our veins  when it passes through our heart." "And you look for us in our dungeons and call us scum." "But we, the poor, we say:" "There's no god for us, so there's none for you either." "Nobody will protect you the day we will come and hunt you down." "And we'll while our mouths with your banknotes." "But now, I want some money, much money." "Or I'll kill you." "And don't try to trick me by saying you spent it all on Cosette." "Because I'm the one that taught her to life without a thing." "The life of Cosette started when I arrived." "She forgot all about you Thenardier!" "Thenardier..." "He was calling him Thenardier, just like the sergeant." "No, no, this is not possible." "It doesn't matter, he's a bastard." "Just pull the trigger." "You don't understand." "Thenardier saved the life of my father." "Everywhere I was looking for him, but he's my neighbour." "I can't do it, Gavroche." "I can't shoot." "It appears to be quite a scene there." "We'll wait for the signal." "That's what we agreed on." "If we don't catch them in the act, they won't be sentenced to life imprisonment." "I ant them in the labour camp for good." "You know the effect of provisional punishments:" "Recidivists, like Jean Valjean." "Write to your daughter that she'll come over here with all of your money." "Release one hand." "And if I refuse to do so?" " Well, I'll tickle you with this." "I want to smell some money, not a roasted pig." "Heat it up again." "It would suit the little monster much better." " Don't touch her." "No, I already did touch the bitch." "But Bigrenaille and Claquesous can't wait to be next." "Go look for her together with Ponine." " But where do they live?" "We'll ask the hypocrites of St.-Vincent-de-Paul." "They'll never tell you." " I'll tell them my sister is dying  and you should buy her medicines." "If you touch Cosette only once, I'll kill you." "Forgive me, father." "Come on, you." "We need to help my father." " No, away you." "Inspector Javert, State security." "Surrender, you are arrested." "To through the window up the roof." "No, not Javert." "Everybody freeze." "To the corridor, all of you." "Tell me, Pontmercy, how well do you know that monsieur Favre?" "What do you mean?" "I don't know him quite well." "But why do you ask?" "The least he could have done, was thank me." "But he disappeared." "After the consternation, he probably didn't want to talk to anybody." "We was so touched that he jumped out of the window and ran away." "If you happen to see him again, I'd like to know about it." "I'll keep you informed." "Yes, I know it's in the most of your interests." "And those of your friends at the cafe Musain." " Downstairs." "Keep on walking." "So your father..." " He was wounded at Waterloo." "He wouldn't have survived if Thenardier would have carried him  on his back to the field hospital." "The moment my father regained consciousness  Thenardier had left." "He probably couldn't wait to see his family again." "I don't understand your father." "Why would he left his son live in this ghetto?" "He didn't know about it." "To safe me from his bonapartistic ideas  my grandfather took me away from him." "If I tell you everything I know, would you put in good word for me when they judge me?" "After being convicted for traffic in children   you are now charged with attempt for murder, assault  conspiracy and blackmailing." "I'm right: once a villain, always a villain." "So don't expect me to show you some sympathy." "I don't sympathize with your kind." "But if you want to relieve your heart: don't hesitate." "Favre isn't called Favre for real." "Oh really?" "So what is his name?" "I don't remember." "Too bad." "You started of quite nice." "The moment you arrived at my inn, you were talking about a former convict." "You mean Valjean?" "Jean Valjean?" "Yes, Favre is Valjean." "And his supposed daughter, she's Cosette." "Are you very sure about this?" " I am." "Because of him, I've spend 5 years in prison." "And who knows what I'll get now." "You should have followed him." "But now he's probably afraid that I'll talk too much." "He'll disappear." "Where?" "I'm sure you have an idea." "Horrible, isn't it?" "That fact that you need me." "You aren't very lucky yourself, me neither by the way." "I don't have the slightest idea." "The head of police is pleased with you having caught the sewer gang." "Anyway, a part of it." "But now you demand for extreme means to arrest Valjean." "I wouldn't count on it." " Why not?" "You know that yourself." "Your assignment is: infiltrate in student organizations." "The Sorbonne university is a hotbed." "Don't you hear what these anarchists are planning?" "Yes, the students are somewhat troubled." "But what if all this leads to a revolt?" "One spark can do the trick." "But you are hunting a former convict." "There's no hierarchy in evil." " There is at the police." "Perform your orders." "Within a week I want a list of names." "I've got one name already: the young baron Marius Pontmercy." "A baron?" "Very good, so no one can blame us we just catch the plebs." "Really, Enjolras, Javert was threatening me." "Very well, this means the masters take us serious now." "The king and the law are afraid of us!" "That's great news." " Didn't we want to spoil their games?" "But what if we're caught?" " We'll go into hiding." "You can." "But Javert knows where I live." "Terminate the lease and come live with me." "But don't tell anyone." "I'm not mad." " But you're in love." "That's true." "But I don't even know where Cosette lives." "house with garden ... for sale or for rent" "Wake up easy, little child." "Toussaint will bring us breakfast." "Who's Toussaint anyway?" "An unfortunate man." "But I won't bother you with all of his stories." "He's mute." "This is such a large house that we need a servant." "I presume our names will change again?" "I've been mademoiselle Leblancs, Favre and Fauchelevent." "Who will I become now?" "I know about it Cosette." "You don't understand." "But one day, you will." "I understood already." " Really?" "You change your name, as soon as your fate changes." "Sometimes you're poor, sometimes you're rich." "This is because of the fluctuation of the stock-market." "Stock-market?" " Yes, where you've put your savings." "You thought this up very well." "I needed an explanation for the escapes, our metamorphosis's  and your sometimes obscure behaviour  of which you suffer so much." "But I love you." "Toussaint, give me a hand." "Go, help my father." "There are no wild animals that can attack me in a garden in Paris." "Come here." "You don't need to be afraid." "Come..." "Do you remember me?" "Eponine Thenardier." "You didn't forget me?" "Eponine Jondrette maybe?" "Does that sound familiar?" "Are you scared?" "Good, this means your memories are coming back." "I mistreated you." "But it was so tempting to do so." "You did cry, but you never protested or whined." "What do you want from me?" "I'm starving to death." "No I'm the monster." "And you run the show." "How did you find me?" " Coincidence, I walk down the street every day." "Would you hit me with those scissors?" "I'm not afraid behind the fence." " Yes, but you'll be opening it." "Why should I?" " Because you have a good heart  and you will give me some food." " Nobody's allowed to enter." "Give me something through the fence." "Go away." "If my father notices you after all those troubles..." "So the old man is no saint?" "Doesn't he know what forgiveness is like?" "I'll get back at you." "See you later." "Come back, Eponine." "I'll get you some food." "There you are." "We got the plans." " Will it happen tonight?" "No, first the need to get to the cells in the northern wing." "There, they can escape to the roof through an old pipe." "Then they'll descend to the yard and climb over the fence." "What about the guards?" " We'll act when it's raining heavily." "When rain pours down, they hide here, in the guardroom." "There's a view on the yard." "But you won't see a thing through these soaking wet windows." "Your dad is a problem." " Why?" "They presume he's the leader, so he got chained." "This will be expensive." " We'll pay for everything." "How?" "I've got quite an interesting job for you." "A residence with a large garden." "The house is isolated." "We can work there in quiet." "Who lives there?" "A bitch together with her nasty father." "Who do you want to visit?" " Thenardier." "He's kept in isolation." "Only family members can visit him." "Are you family?" "So you can't enter." "Who's next?" "Hurry." "Marius, what a surprise." "I don't look very decent." "I didn't expect you here." "Is this better?" "Did you come to visit somebody?" " Your father." "But I got sent away." "My father?" "I wanted to give him a little thing." "Unfortunately, I'm not a rich man." "But now I meet you  you can have the money." "I don't want you to pity me." "But I'll probably never cause another feeling inside you." "Thanks." "I wrote a letter to your father as well." "Would you like to give it to him?" " What's it about?" "He will understand." "He's the only one." "I need to visit my father." "Let me pass." "His name is Thenardier." "I need to give you this." "What's in it?" " Forgive me." "Are you sure?" "Yes, 'forgive me'." "And his signature Pontmercy." "It doesn't mean anything." " This was the name of the officer at Waterloo." "Marius is his son." "The son of the man you saved there." "I wouldn't call it saved..." "I thought he was dead." "When I searched his pockets, he started to groan." "Did your conscience bother you?" " No, I was afraid." "There was dead penalty for body-snatching." "I told them I saved him." "The fool  told me he'd never forget me." "And if he wouldn't be able to redeem his promise  his son would make me very happy." " I know a way for him to make me happy." "I sure hope so." "But make me leave this place." "I'll go after him." "A gainful business." " You'll escape very soon." "But how?" "I won't go very far with those chains." "Talk louder, you two." "Those are the rules." "I just told my father I brought him a bottle of wine." "And one for you." "There's a file within." "So?" "I'm glad you didn't see him like that." "He looks so thin and awkward." "I won't abandon him." "You can tell him that." "And the letter?" "I gave it to him." "Did he understand?" " Yes." "He was deeply touched." "He got used being treated as outcast by everyone." "You are his only friend." "I'm not a friend." "I owe him." "I can't be the friend of the man that threatened to torture the woman I love." "The woman you love?" " You know her." "Her name is Cosette." "You call her a woman?" "Cosette means little thing, negligee." "Her name is exactly what she's like herself." "And I lost this negligee." "I know where she lives." "But everything comes at a price." "Help me." "You know I'm not rich, but I can pay you whatever you want." "I don't want any money." "What do you want?" "You." "Don't be scared, I don't want to marry you." "I just want you for one night." "The thing you ask of me, is..." "An exchange." "I've got something you'd like to buy." "Think about it." "But be quick, don't let me change my mind." "Here it is." "I've kept my promise, you won't keep yours." "I'm a man of my word, Ponine." "Although it will be as disgraceful to you as it will be for me." "You don't understand." "I don't want the reward." "But why?" "Because it would be a punishment to you  your lips against mine, your arms around me." "Punishment." "And I don't want to punish you, Marius." "I love you." "Mademoiselle, wait!" "Cosette?" "How do you know my name?" "This belongs to you, doesn't it?" " Where did you find it?" "In the Jardin du Luxembourg." "I looked for you all the time, but without success." "This is my private garden." "It's not finished yet..." "It looks better already." "But for a better advise I should enter." "That won't be possible." "I don't have the key to the gate." "I'll climb over it." "If I could just be with you." "I would be capable of searching all of Paris  all the woods, the seas and the mountains." "And if I wouldn't find you on earth  I'd invent a machine to look for you around the stars  where the angels live." " But why?" "Don't you see?" "I love you." "You don't know me." " Cosette, where are you?" "I'm here, father." "I need to get inside." "I'll keep your handkerchief." "I'll give it back to you next time." "When will be the next time?" " That's up to you." "Tomorrow." "There you are, at last." " The plants were very thirsty." "But did you really have to water them in the dark?" "I didn't realise it got dark already." "And I know the garden like the back of my hand." "Don't talk to me like that." "I don't want you to be outside when it's dark." "What are you afraid for?" "There's nobody that envies our luck." "Who's making you happy?" " Who else?" "Listen to me, Toussaint." "'Inside the prison camps, there's healthy food and fresh clothing." "'The habitants are full of energy, strong and show no remorse.'" "Did you feel it like this?" "These lies won't bring any reforms." "When does somebody finally stand up from the crowd  and tells the labour camps are a shame for our country?" "'Cosette was talking with someone at the gate.'" " Who was it?" "It must have been a beggar." "Close all doors  the moment when it gets dark." "All of them." "The man that can make ammunition..." " Burtot, the wine tradesman?" "Could he make a key for a lock, with the following print?" "Very good Marius." "I knew you'd be the right man." "What kind of lock is it?" " A gate." "A prison gate?" " A yard." "Could you hurry up, messieurs?" "Today: the declaration of Human rights." "Our rights are violated by the government, disdained." "Be quiet, monsieur Courfeyrac." " See, he makes you shut up." "You know I'm right." "No movement." "Everyone sit down." " What's going on?" "We must write down your names." " I protest." "Nor the army, nor the police can enter the faculty." "I'll vouch for my students completely." "I won't take any orders from you." "Clear the auditorium." "Easy, we're not animals." "Monsieur Pontmercy..." "Didn't I advise you not to hang around with these young excited persons?" "I'm busy enough minding my own business." " That's for me to tell." "Did the king prohibit love?" " On the contrary." "The Napoleonic wars have cost many lives." "It's the duty of every civilian to get married  and donate new sons to France." "So I don't object to any love." "I wish you the best of luck, baron  and especially many children." "Our luck will be there." "It's up to Cosette to decide about children." "What is her name?" " Cosette." "That's not an average name." " For sure." "What a very coincidence that you've met a certain Cosette." "Where did you meet her?" " That's a private matter, monsieur Javert." "That's true." "Excuse me, just a natural habit." "Can I leave now?" "Follow him." "I wandered down the rue de Babylone, the fanciest street in Paris." "The street of couturiers, glove designers  of shoemakers, hat designers." "What do you think?" "You just look like..." "What?" "A woman." " Odd, what did you think I am?" "I didn't think." "When happy, one doesn't think." "Can she go outside?" "Of course she can." "She's not our type of people." "Clear off." "Cosette, is that really you?" "Did I look better in the past?" " No, you're not allowed to change anything." "I've got a surprise for you." "I'm touching you." "Finally I can caress you." "I'm almost dying of luck." "I need to go." "Please stay." "It will be dark." "Toussaint will close the house." "The better." "I hope you'll be locked out  so we can spend the night here, together." "Cosette, come inside." " Your father, he spoils our fun." "He made me to who I am." " Good, but he keeps you to himself." "He will love you like a son." "Here you are, monsieur Dumoncel." "This quarters rent." "You can count the money." " I would insult you by doing so." "I'm happy you live here with satisfaction." "You've decorated the place very well." "I see you're keen on pretty things." "Very acute." " Judgement of character" "It's late." "I won't steal your time anymore." "I forgot to tell you, a certain Levert or Nevers will come to visit you." "He's a police inspector." " What does he want?" "He'd like to inspect the house, due to some rumours about a revolt." "They want to claim all houses  where soldiers can stay." "Why the rue Plumet?" "This place is far away from the student district." "removals" "The books too?" " Everything and quick." "I hear some noises." "What's going on?" "You don't have to be worries." "We got used to moving all the time, didn't we?" "Yes, but I like this place." "And I don't want to lose our friends." "Which friends?" "We never meet anyone." "But that could be different in England." "You'll learn the English language." "This will be more of an advantage to you." "I don't want to leave Paris." " Don't act like that." "I'm not leaving for fun." "Business is worse than you think it is." "Grant me some time to..." " We'll leave for Calais this evening." "She recovered." "Tell the movers to leave everything in here." "Close the hatches and make sure no smoke exits the chimney." "We'll even not use any candles." "The house should appear empty." "You scared me." "We'll not move after all?" " Yes, we'll need to Cosette." "But we'll wait until tomorrow." "A good night sleep and you'll feel better." "Did you get so upset because we're leaving here?" "We're always together." "You know this won't change, do you?" "Why are you so sad?" " I'll miss him so much." "Your garden?" "You'll miss the garden?" "He doesn't know what he wants." "First we need to rush, and now he cancells it." "Eponine?" "Please don't go." "Wait." "Here." "Pretty?" "It's yours." " Why?" "You should don me a favour." "Make sure Marius gets this letter." "Here you are." " Why should you trust me?" "Did you ever love someone?" "Then I'm sure you'll give him the letter." "And I really planned on reading a lot  so I can talk to Cosette." "The sisters educated her, and I never got any." "Poor Cosette." "I love her so much, but I make her unhappy." "I don't believe the story about those soldiers." "Javert is after me." "He's approaching slowly." "And if I stay here, he'll arrest me." "And Cosette finds out the truth about who I am." "I was never embarrassed because of the labour camp." "Furious was I." "It's not a crime to steal bread to feed hungry children." "I was almost proud of what I did." "But if Cosette finds out about it  I would be shamed to death." "What a heavy rain." "Yes, I see her." "They did it." " Who do you see?" "Burdon, Babet, Gueulemer and Montparnasse." "Is my father there as well?" " I don't see anybody else." "Why isn't my father with them?" " I don't know." "He got caught probably." "Run." "If they got Thenardier he'll tell everything." "And this place will be full of police soon." " We're about to do a job." "Where is the house?" " Nowhere." "Why?" "As long as my father hasn't arrived, I won't tell." "Your father got caught." " So the deal is off." "There he is." "But he hasn't got a rope." "He won't jump, would he?" "We can't do anything for him." "Run." "If you don't help him, I won't tell you the location of the house  and I'll inform the police." " Think!" "How can we get him out of there?" " With a rope." "But he's up there." "Who brings him the rope?" "Only monkeys can do that." " I know where to find one." "Gavroche, wake up." "Ponine, what are you doing here?" "A gunshot." "Has the revolution started?" "No, it's a thunderstorm." "I've got a job for you that will pay you well." "You pay?" " Yes, I'll give you anything you want." "I'm expensive." "And besides, I'm counting night rate now." "You'll get what you want." "All right, a kiss." "Little monkey, you're much too young to kiss a woman." "That's not what I meant." " What did you mean?" "You must kiss me like my mother used to kiss me." "Here." "Quick." "Help me, I'm afraid of heights." "Nothing, she's probably asleep somewhere." "And if she doesn't, I've got a nice sleeping pill for her." "You haven't killed anyone before." "How many are there?" " According to your daughter, three." "And old man, a young chick and a mute." "And we're eight." " Seven, I'll be leaving soon." "You listen to your father." "Or I'll hit you with the belt when we get home." "Oh really?" "I haven't seen a house for ages." "She's gone mad." " Nobody enters." "I'll teach her a lesson." "You are right." "I shouldn't get mad." "But you wouldn't choose the side of the bourgeoisie showing off their wealth?" "We haven't got any freedom left." "You know about how she left her dad alone?" "This is not stealing." "After Waterloo, the bourgeoisie owes me." "I'll take what I deserve, my girl." "And you deserved some more as well." "This is justice." "You always cheated, lied and nicked." "When it comes to that, we're alike." "But I don't want you to commit murder." "Shut up and let us pass." "Freeze or I'll yell so loud police will be here in no time." "She's capable of doing so." " Go home, coward." "Listen, this morning, in my cell, I noticed two sparrows picking at each other." "Leave those sparrows." " If you would have been born in Paris  you knew that two sparrows having a fight means bad luck." "And when we left the prison, I noticed a black cat." "Crossing from the left." " A bad sign." "And a woman looking for an argument." " It couldn't get worse." "You are godless." "But you've scared out of your pants because of two sparrows and a cat." "It's always correct." " We got out of jail now." "Let's not challenge fate." " He's right." "Well, piss off." "Silly cow." "Get up, Marius, quick." "Look how pretty." "Come on now, Marius." "What is it?" " Don't you hear it?" "I hear some people." " A crowd is gathering." "And the crowd, the people from Paris are celebrating..." " The revolution?" "What are you doing?" " This is what we expected to happen?" "And now, let's wait and see what happens." "What will become of the victory." "We'll proclaim the Revolution." "This is the best day of my life." "What's wrong?" "Aren't you glad?" "This is your battle as well." "When I joined you, I was lonely." "But now, it's different." " Cosette?" "Bahorel, Prouvaire and Courfeyrac are dreaming of girls too." "I've passed the dreams, Enjolras." "I want Cosette to be my wife." "I won't go on the streets." "Are you abandoning us?" "It's a crowd, you said so yourself." "It doesn't matter if there's one more or less." "But Cosette and I, we just have each other." "I want you all to behave like policemen, not like irregular forces." "Leave your weapons at home." "These will be your new weapon." "Names, I want names, messieurs." "I want the instigator to be caught tonight." "Excuse me, but who can tell it's just for today?" "It should be." "One day of revolt costs as much as the loss of 30 warships." "They don't care about the welfare of France." "Not all of them are acting according to their political beliefs." "Many of them will go out to plunder." "This city is boiling over." "And all scum will rise to the surface." "What are you talking about?" "Perhaps we would be able to catch some criminals as well." "You mean Jean Valjean?" "You mentioned his name." "It's a possibility, yes." "If you meet him on coincidence, you can act like your duty." "Coincidence, monsieur Javert." "Is this clear?" " Entirely clear." "A hunter trusts his rifle as much as he trusts coincidence." "The Republic or death." "Silence." "Listen to me." "I want clinker, barrels, barrows, tables, chairs, doors and hatches." "We'll make a barricade." "From now on, this pub is no a pub  but the head quarters of the people's revolt against the tyrants." "Vive la Republique." "I knew you'd come here." "Leave me alone." " You want to see Cosette." "Too late." "What do you mean?" " She left." "No, that's not possible." "She would have warned me." "I was here the whole time." "I saw them leave." "Yes, they must have left for some days out of precaution." "Until the city gets quiet again." "They won't return." "A removal van took all their belongings." "You were here?" "Cosette must have left me a message." "An address of where to find her." "No, nothing at all." "Don't look to me like that." "I'm not to blame." "I can't believe she left just like that." "I cannot believe." "It's not possible." "You look shocked." "A glass of wine will do you some good." "I have an anxious feeling you'll don something foolish." "Just come with me." "It's no foolishness to die in the middle of my friends." "Not anymore." "Come back, Marius!" "How did it get started?" " On the funeral of general Lamarque." "Someone shot at the funeral parade." "Nobody knows who did it." "The shooting was from the direction of the audience." "The troops fired back  and then it started." " How are we doing now?" "There are several opinions about that." "The only thing that's for sure, is there are 24 000 soldiers in Paris  and another 30 000 just around the city." " That's quite something." "And what about the people?" "They hold the Arsenal, and the barracks of Veterans and the gunpowder magazine of Deux-Moulins." "In the quarter des Halles, 27 barricades have been thrown up already." "Where are we waiting for?" " You." "And what about Marius?" " Love is a good cause too." "I'll miss the sound of the bells." "I mean, France will miss you, monsieur Fauchelevent." "Think again." "No one forces you to take part in this drama  this civil was." " All kind of wars are civil." "Because all people are brothers." "Would you give me your blessing?" "In the name of god, the almighty father." "Amen." "Didn't you notice  that I blessed you before you even told me." "Told what, Mother?" " On which side you are." "To be honest Mother, I haven't decided myself." "Only if I don't find myself in at the side  where I must shoot my brother." "When I find out on which side he is, I'll choose that one." "Your brother..." "Hopefully he didn't choose for the foolish people." "He calls them the miserable." "I don't know what will happen, but vive la revolution." "Revolution means chaos." "It's better to hide in here than in England." "We'll wait another few days." "As long as the upraise lasts, Javert will be busy doing something else." "I'll warn Cosette." "She'll be pleased." "Sleep." "I don't want to disturb your dreams." "I, myself stopped dreaming." "Al those years in camp I dreamt so much." "You wouldn't cope there  without dreams." "And now I've got you." "Nothing else matters now." "Have your written a letter?" "To whom?" "You just know me." "Darling..." "Just a few words  to inform you about the worst things that happens." "We'll get separated." "My father will leave to England  and  he insists  of me coming with him." "Tomorrow." "I kiss you one last time." "In love?" "Who did she fall in love with?" "Who did this to her?" "You know who it is." "Why didn't you pay some more attention?" "Love is dangerous." "If she would leave, I'd die." "One last time: who is it?" "You don't know?" "You don't know who wants to steal Cosette from me?" "Someone wants to steal the most precious in my life." "Never did I hear you yell like that." "I didn't do any improper things." "You could have asked me." " I've stopped yelling." "Who is it?" "Baron Marius Pontmercy." " I don't know him." "He knows you." "He saved your life." " No one has ever saved my life." "I've always saved my own life." "When Thenardier tried to trap you, Marius warned the police." "He sounded the alarm." " He got Javert involved into this?" "The police?" " That's something else." "You are right." "I owe this man a lot." "Without Marius..." " I would have saved my skin as well." "It doesn't matter." "Apparently he thinks this gives him the right  to steal my daughter." "He steal me, father." "I give myself to him." "Please Cosette." "I'm not so much like you." "I haven't studied, I not as clever as you." "I love him." "And he loves me." "You can't tell love is a bad thing." "Why?" " You are love yourself." "That's a different kind of love." "You are much to young for a man's love." "I'm twenty." " And that's too young." "You must have loved someone when you were twenty." "I just had hate." " I don't believe that." "Tell me about your youth." "Than you'll understand me better." "If you knew everything, you wouldn't understand me." "You were acting like the sweet little girl: sweet daddy this, sweet daddy that..." "And I pampered you." "And you were thinking about him the whole time?" "Where did you meet?" " In the yard." "Never any longer than a couple of minutes." "Where is he now?" " Does that matter?" "Where does he live?" " Rue de la Chanvrerie." "Toussaint, I'm going out." "Where do you go to?" " Lock the doors." "Keep everybody away from Cosette." "Do you have a weapon?" "No dad." "Precaution considered the revolt." "In order to make a second barricade, we'll need to demolish the first one." "But we don't have any back cover." "The rue Mondetour is much too narrow for an assault." "Here are some more clinkers." " And throw some debris into this hole." "Who's in charge here?" " Enjolras." "Is he a general" " No, we're all brothers." "Good, because I don't have any family." "Where is he?" " Cafe Musain." "Enjolras?" "Where is Enjolras?" " The other room." "I'm checking in." " Good boy." "Up to the first-aid room." "What?" "I want to carry a gun." "What are you talking about?" " I've fought in the war against Charles X." "We hardly have enough rifles for all the men." "Now leave us alone." "What's that?" "Go away." " We've got a problem." "We've got plenty already." "You better have a look." "Do you know who this is?" " He's on our side." "Javert is a policeman, a spy." "Who cares?" "We expect quite a few regiments will change sides." "Well well well, Gavroche, the friend of monsieur Favre." "What are you doing here?" " And what brings you here?" "See?" "There's no one here." "Are you police?" "I never visit my tenants." "I don't know anything about the activities of Enjolras." "I'm looking for a young man who lives with him." "Marius Pontmercy." "That man isn't involved into politics." "He has his head in the clouds all day." "Almost like a sleepwalker running on the roofs predicting the future." "The last time he went away every night and returned shining." "Where did he go to?" " To their cafe?" "What's the name of the cafe" " Musain." "There's rumour there." "Imagine a lost bullet..." "When a bullet gets lost, one doesn't search the shooter." "There they are." " We are ready for them." "Wait until the approach." "Only pull the trigger what you're certain." "Don't shoot until you see the white of their eyes." "Courfeyrac, don't waste any ammunition." "Attention, they're attacking." "Are you ready?" "Fifty three." "You have 53 men." "And that about them?" "Why don't you say 'us'?" "Aren't you one of us?" "This is suicide." "You and your friends won't leave this battle alive." "Unless you surrender." "What are you doing here anyway?" "My duty." "I work for State Security." "I told you so?" " Make sure they put down their weapons." "You'll be given a fair trial." "If no one gets hurt  it will be just a few years in prison." "Stop him." "He's a traitor." "We'll strap him up." "All our names, addresses  the place where we meet and even the girls we sleep with." "Two minutes before the barricade falls, you'll be shot." "If it falls." "It will." "Identify yourself." " The French Revolution." "Fire!" "The flag has fallen down." "Stop shooting!" "Should we let us get killed?" "There's no visibility." "It will be a shame about the gunpowder." "We'll respond until it gets lighter." "If we're still here." "Who replaces the flag?" " Not you!" "They're shooting." "Vive la revolution, vive Paris!" "Vive myself!" "Fire!" "Gavroche, no." "Not you." "Kicking a hero brings bad luck." "Gavroche, I've got an assignment for you." "You won't have any clothes left soon." "Did you..." " He got stiff already." "I got a secret mission." "We're facing superior numbers." "Day starts." "They will perform an attack, with the bayonets on their rifles." "And we'll defend ourselves." " Maybe once or twice." "After that, you'll be the commander of the death, until the moment you'll be dead too." "Can you hear the bells ring?" "This means the barricades are holding up." "Around noon the whole of Paris will rise in revolt." "We'll have reinforcements." "Gavroche is saying: don't count on reinforcements." " Did the menace return?" "I wanted him out of here." " He brought a man with a gun." "He's now on the watch at the rue Mondetour." "The child brought some bad news too." "The upraise is sinking slowly." "The people don't support us." "Although the people abandon the republicans, we won't abandon the people." "We'll continue." "What are you planning to do?" " Assist." "No, they'll attack us from behind." "Light the fuse and throw it away as if you're bowling." "You'll blow up at least twenty men." "But if the fuse is broken, you'll be death." "Give me the keys." "If you don't give them to me..." "He can't hurt nobody." "He never taught me to do so." "He can't do it either." "Until today." "Little bastard," "Back, make sure you get away." "Or I'll blow the barricade." " You'll die to, idiot!" "I wouldn't want less!" " He's crazy." "Get away." "Too bad." "I knew you'd return." "But that means that Cosette..." "I'd rather not talk about it." "No matter what she may have do to you, I need fighters, no dead bodies." "You'll need the best of luck in particular." "Take this body to my grand father  monsieur Gillenormand, rue Filles du Calvaire." "Eponine, what brings you here?" "I'll die." " No, you won't." "They wanted to shoot you down, I threw myself between you and the bullet." "I feel relief, as if the pain fades away." "You must not die." "I'm not the only one that dies in here, you'll all be dead." "The thought she won't have you either is the only comfort to me." "Cosette?" "You think I'm ugly, don't you?" "Well no." "I know it." "Compared to her I'm ugly." "If she wouldn't have existed, maybe you would have noticed me." "But I'll never find out." "Now you look at me." "Because I'll die." "Eponine, if I ever did hurt you, I'm sorry." "You can't help it." "You're not a bad man." "If you only knew how spoiled I am." "All members of the Thenadier family  are terribly evil." "Gavroche told me you think my father saved yours." "But that's not how it went." "He pulled the body of your father out of a pile of dead bodies  but not to safe his life." "But why?" "To steal his watch." "I don't believe you." "You're delirious." "I'm just as evil." "When I told you Cosette has left  it was a lie too." "She's still in the house with the yard." "She asked me to give you a letter." "But I wanted you never to see her again." "And I wanted to punish you." " Cosette's still there." "She's waiting for me." "Thank you, Eponine." "Wait another second." "I need you." "Stay until I've died." "It won't be long." "I don't know what I'd wish you more: happiness or misfortune." "Don't you worry about me." "Concentrate on god." "But I love you." "Marius, you need to promise me." "When I'll be dead  promise me you'll kiss me just once." "On my fore head." "We chased them out of there." "You didn't hear anything of Pontmercy?" "He's Cosette's lover, isn't he?" "How I know about that?" "He told me so." "And it has been going on quite a while." "We was crazy about her even before he knew her name." "It's much more than love, it's like a fire or a flood." "Something unstoppable." " I'd rather stopped it." "You'd better care for Cosette at home." "The barricade will go down for sure." "And how should I tell Cosette about your death?" "Pontmercy first." "How many are wounded?" " Fifty or so." "Is there a hospital in the area." "I'm a doctor." "Put me near the counter." "I'll instruct you what to do." "Quick, I'm losing powers." "Didn't I send you to rue Montdetour?" "What are you doing here?" "And what's he doing there?" "The kid is insane." "This will kill him." "Gavroche, come here, damn!" "It's commerce, fellow citizen." " Come here." "A body snatcher, captain." "Ready for firing?" "But don't hit him, we need to scare him away." "It's only a child." "Fire!" "Be damned, they're shooting at my dead men." "Voltaire is to blame for my cheerful character" "Rousseau is to blame for my poverty" "Is that a rifle firing?" "I thought it was the rain." "He's playing a trick on us." "Just wait until the smoke disappears and hit him." "Stay there." "Look for cover." "I'm a fallen man and Voltaire is to blame my nose is in the drain and..." "We're getting out of ammunition." " Get some at the other barricades." "Next assault will strike." " Shut up, you." "I'd knew I would meet you again." "Meet isn't the right word." "The roles are different now." "You are the prisoner, I'm free." " Not really free." "This will kill us both." "It will kill you for sure." "I'm planning on getting out of here alive." "Nobody stands a chance." "Soldiers don't hesitate to kill a child... .. and they'll shoot rebellions as well." "I'll be out of here by then." "A piece of cake for someone that escaped from a prison camp." "Would you abandon your friends?" "I didn't think of you being such a coward." "They're not my friends and their battle isn't mine either." "I've come here to settle a personal dispute." "But I didn't find the person I was looking for." "Being the leaders, Courfeyrac and I could surrender and be shot dead  in exchange for the life of others." "But I refuse to negotiate with men that killed a little child." "The rue Mondetour is still open for those who want to flee." "Those who are willing to stay can go upstairs." "There, we could hold on for a few more hours." "I'll stay." " Me too." "And what about you Marius?" "Someone is waiting for me." "You know who." "I thought..." " That was a mistake." "Someone lied to me." " Very good." "Safe your life and your love." "At least one of us will be happy." "I'm glad it will be you." "Now it's about us." "You're a revolutionary, not an executioner." "Don't makes your hands dirty." "I'll do it for you." "Do what he says." "Okay, the spy is yours." "So, where are you waiting for?" "Leave us alone." "They're attacking." "Upstairs, lads." "This is justice." "Come on, shoot me." "Get your revenge." "Oh, you prefer the knife." "You're right." "That suits you better." "There's only place for one bullet, isn't there?" " Yes, so?" "Well, I'm wondering who you save this last bullet for." "Align the guns!" "He's gone." "His clothing mutes the sound of the shooting." "Sergeant, are the firemen ready?" " Yes captain." "They'll attack." " I know you, but you don't know me." "If something might happen to me, I want you to know that..." " I know everything." "Reload the gun!" "We'll rebuild the barricade." "Pontmercy, get up!" "We're in the middle of the field of fire." "Gunners, be ready!" "Fire!" "Let the firemen pass through first, enlarge the hole." "The rest follows, put the bayonet on your rifle." "Look here, it's me, your brother Fauchelevent." "I knew we'd meet again." "No, Enjolras." "Not him." "Soldiers, follow me!" "Bayonets on the rifles!" "I don't know it you can hear me, but there's something I want you to know." "I'm working to death just to safe you." "But that's not because of you." "I'm doing it  because I wouldn't dare to look her in the eyes again if I didn't." "Do you hear me, Pontmercy?" "Never." "I saw something move." " Our shadows, sergeant." "I want to know for sure." "Jabier, Martine, Loubert, fire a couple of shots." "We'll notice quick enough." "We'll split honestly." "You wouldn't say hello to a friend with a knife?" " Thenardier, were you released from prison?" "Our kind doesn't await release, you know about that." "But escaping was quite an expensive matter." "I'll do you a proposal." "What do you mean?" " You want to get out of here?" "And I got the key to the gate." "So there's my proposal:" "I give you the key, and you hand me over the money." "Which money?" " You killed that man." "That's your business." "But I'm sure you emptied his pockets already." "Why should I bother about your proposal?" "Because, besides all of your fuss, you're still a poor man." "That counts for me as well." "But I accepted that." "We're no strangers here." "And such a deal is not unusual." "You could get something for your money, maybe some more." "The key and a rope." "Fair trade, isn't it?" "A rope?" " If you throw a died body into the river  you need to attach some rocks to it." " That are you doing here?" "I'm hiding, just like you." "And at night I go out for some fresh air." "We should meet again." "I've got some great jobs in mind." "So what do we decide?" "I want to get out of here quick." "What do you mean?" " You really don't understand, do you?" "We cops know everything here." "Last time, two of them had a look in here on a boat." "My key for your money." "How much did your costumer bring?" "You killed him for this amount?" "You forced laborers are all alike." "You kill just for fun." "Or do you trick me?" "It isn't very decent to do that to a future companion." "'Take this corps to monsieur Gillenormand, rue des Files du Calvaire.'" "That man could tell his future." "Okay, I believe you." "You killed him for nothing at all." "In exchange for the trouble, I demand most of it." "It was a real pleasure." "You can always count on me." "Wait here for me." "You just arrived from the sewer, didn't you?" "Say nothing more." "The smell tells it all." " How did you find me?" "I followed you." " That's not possible." "I followed you on the streets." "And you should exit the sewers at the river." "Javert, I swear I'll go with you." "But first..." "There are no negotiations possible." " Only one hour." "Not for myself, but for him." " He's dead." "Not yet." " It's almost no difference." "What does that young man mean to you?" " He'll replace me." "If I come with you, I'll be spending a long time in prison camp, won't I?" "Life time." "Only he can take care of Cosette." "Give me one hour to bring him to his family." "One hour..." "Driver!" "Does Gillenormand life here?" " What do you want?" "I'm returning his grandson." " Monsieur doesn't have a grandson." "'Take my corpse to my grand father, monsieur Gillenormand, rue Filles du Calvaire.'" "His dead body, that's something else." "Monsieur won't be against that." "Did he die?" "On the barricades?" "Just to humiliate me of course." "Out of hatred to his granddad, the old royalist prick." "'I'll trick you.'" "'I'll die in the middle of those republicans, the ones you hate.'" "'Your grandson will die carrying a red flag in his hands.'" "What are you looking at?" " You seem to be upset." "Me?" "Upset?" "Rubbish." "I'm all relaxed." "Did you ever see me mad?" "The day you told Marius..." " Yes, that he could get lost." "He shouldn't have shouted:" "Away with despotism and the king!" "I got enraged that moment." " You threw him out of the house." "For ever." "That's no reason to let himself be killed at the barricades." "I didn't want that to happen, Lorrain." " He neither." "He always behaved so cheerful." "He loved being alive." "Where did they put him?" " In the suite." "The suite?" "As if he's a guest?" "Why didn't you put him in his own room?" "You locked his room." "And you ordered that no one would enter the room ever again." "I didn't expect he would originate from such an social environment." "I thought he was poor." "Me too." "Odd how one can be mistaken." "Monsieur Gillenormand, I am..." " I don't want to know who you are." "I don't want to know the man that returned my grandson's dead body." "His name will be cursed." "He died much too early." "After seeing this I'll die very soon." "At least, I hope I will." "What are you trying to do with the ammonia?" "Bring him back to life?" "That stuff only works on fainting girls." "Not on dead men." "Monsieur Marius..." " Monsieur Marius died, you stupid cow." "I'm just as dead as him." "Ghosts recognize each other." "My god, look at all the blood..." "He did quite a good job." "If he died in your hands, you must be one of those scoundrels." "Messieurs republicans, don't you see your foolishness, the result of your gospel?" "You lousy rubbish philosophers and writers!" "Not to speak of your cursed revolution  that puts this nation under blood." "Out!" "Get out of my house!" "Murderers!" "You'll come with me." "Don't ask me anything anymore." "I need to say goodbye to Cosette." "All right." "But you better be quick, monsieur." "Javert, you called me monsieur." "I'll be waiting for you." "I was so afraid." "What has happened?" "And there does the mud came from?" "And the blood?" "I didn't get hurt, but Marius..." "You haven't..." " No, he got a small injury from a grenade." "How do you know?" " He's taken care of." "This is the address I took him to." "Aren't you mad at him anymore?" "Can I see him?" "I hardly spoke a word with him." "But what I learned to know about him..." "I knew you'd grow to love him." " You two must love each other." "I trust him and his family." "You'll lack nothing there." "I could have given you this comfort too." "But I would have never been able to give you the titles they own." "Agree to his proposal for marriage." "You are a wonderful father." "But he'll ask you for permission to marry me." "No, I'll be far away." "I go away on my own and I won't come back." "I don't understand." "Does it mean you're going to die?" "No, don't worry." "I'll be alive." "I'll have to be alive." "You can't choose anything at the destination to where I'm going." "One day, some one offered me two silver candle holders." "Those days, I was sensitive only to value." "I wasn't rich." "I was living in an awful poverty." "But I never sold them." "They always lightened me on my path." "And to a certain extend, they continue to do so." "But the light means nothing  compared to the sun you brought into my life." "Even in the deepest darkness  you'll continue to shine in my life." "I love you, Cosette." "Do you lock me up?" " Toussaint will open later." "Javert?" "Who's Martin Lefranc?" " Me." "I need to expel you from Paris." "What are you doing here?" "My wife gave birth in here." "I wanted to see the baby." "She needs to go to you." " She doesn't have any legs." "How's that?" "She was working in a mill." "When she was 14, she fell under a stone." "Let him go." " He's just making it up." "Who marries such a woman?" " He does." "Release him, that's an order." "Give me a pen and some paper." "Monsieur, although she doesn't have any legs left  I married her for the way she smiles." "I didn't ask you anything." " You are different to the others in here." "You try to show some comprehension." " Leave me alone." "Hand this over to the head of the police." "But before I leave, I've got one more question." "Do you think that a severe criminal is able to change his behavior?" "And that a policeman, one with a profound faith in an infallible legal system  one day needs to choose between two crimes:" "The crime of not catching a criminal  and the crime by arresting him?" "That will be it, monsieur." "But think about it." "I'm glad your appetite has returned." "But that awful memory hasn't yet." "I don't know what happened." "Would the wound on my head..." "SO you risked your life for a revolt which you don't remember at all" "I didn't forget about one thing:" "I want to get married." "You could have asked for my opinion on that." "No, because you don't know the woman I love." "I do." "She has quite an impressive figure  beautiful grey hair." " Did you receive a hit on your head as well" "You fianc?" "e informed about you every day." "Not in person, what wouldn't be proper." "But her father waited." "But  to speed up the process of your recovery, I'd seem a good idea..." "Mademoiselle Fauchelevent!" "Gorgeous!" "You look adorable." "A piece of art, this young girl." "She'll just become a baroness." "Marquise would have suit her better." "Or duchess." "Where are you waiting for, girl?" "Doesn't he want to get kissed?" "If her name is Fauchelevent, and yours is Favre, it would mean that..." "I'm not her father, not her grandfather." "I raised her." "Cosette is an orphan, I'm her guardian." "Was she born is a good social environment?" "Her mother was a craftswoman, her father a gardener." "Blast, so she's a ordinary girl?" "Would that be an objection?" "You told me her parents have died." "So you and I will become family." "I hope you aren't a craftsman of a gardener?" "I presume you used to be an army officer, considering your statue." "Not an officer." "But I used to be surrounded by uniforms suite a while." "But I never was a soldier." " You have strong hands  and you look like a sailor." "Commander at the merchant navy?" "East India I presume?" "Spice trade?" "I watched quite some ships in Toulon, but I never spend any time aboard." "You are a mystery." " Every man got a mystery." "I once knew a man of which I thought was firmness in person." "But not long ago, I heard  he was found in the water, drowned." "His body has been dragged along a ship." "He committed suicide." "I never expected him to do that." "Never." "I understand this person was very close to you." "We knew each other for years." "At least, I thought he knew me." "But he never found out who I really was." "I'd ask the same thing, who are you?" "This will be more interesting to you." "600 000 francs." "The bride's portion of Cosette Fauchelevent." "600 000 francs?" "Such a large amount for a daughter..." " The daughter of a gardener." "Did I tell you I have a weakness for gardeners?" "They are some kind of aristocracy." "Their profession is the best there is." "Our king, Louis XIV, he loved his garden at Versailles." "The affection he had for his bushes and flowerbeds  will be the same as my affection to Marius and your Cosette." "I agree, they shall marry." "In two months." "All right?" "That soon" "Don't you want your Cosette to be happy?" " Yes, I do." "Of course." "Who's the bride's mother?" "Mothers can die too." "Long live the bride and groom!" "Do you see that old man?" " Where?" "At the left, behind the couple." "Blast, I know for sure." "The one and only monsieur Favre." "That villain named Jean Valjean." "And the bride the baron is holding  that's Cosette." "He tricked me." "I thought he was on our side." "He's like a night bird what wants to hang around the high society." "Leave them alone." "They brought us nothing but trouble." "That's why, my darling." "I'll face him with the consequences." "You've become so skinny you're almost invisible." "Mix around the guests." "And find out where the scum lives." "What are you doing here, standing alone." " I look at you." "From far away." " So I can get used to this." "I want to show you something." "I doubted for a moment." "You love those candle holders that much  I'm almost jealous at them." " They give light." "But you are my light." "I don't understand..." " It's not very hard." "This is your room." "During the ceremony I got all your belongings moved to here." "From now on, this is your place." "I wouldn't be happy without you." "Madame baroness?" "Did you hear that?" "They're calling you." "You are 'Madame baroness'." "I forgot about it." "You look so pretty." "If you mother would see you like this..." "I know what she'd say." "What would she say?" " Merci, monsieur Madeleine." "Monsieur Madeleine?" " That's how she called the lord." "I don't know why." "I need to go." "I'm starving." "Is dinner ready?" "You can have it served the moment monsieur Favre arrives." "I don't know where he is." " He left." "Where did he go to?" " We was feeling tired." "Tired?" "Him?" "He can rest in his room." "Where did that man go?" "Toussaint?" "Goodbye." "Cosette is happy, Javert died." "Pity he took all of the money from the safe." "Javert was right:" "We'll always be scum." "Me, that is." "Toussaint." "I'm happy to see you." "Do you feel better now?" " I feel great." "Did your lord wake up already?" "The old one or the new?" " Baron Pontmercy." "No, he's still sleeping." "After the wedding night..." "Wake him up." "Right away." "Tell him to meet me in the suite." "Alone." "Cosette would have loved to dance with you." "I can't dance." " That's not a crime." "Don't use the word for something this insignificant." "You are perfectly happy." " Indeed I am, almost perfectly." "Almost?" "I'm very demanding." "I'll be really happy when I know  who saved me from the sewer." "The police." "A man called Javert." "Javert?" "He killed many of my comrades." "Why would he have saved me?" " You can be mistaken in people." "You think you know who I am." "But let me tell you  I was in a prison camp." "Why are you laughing at me?" "Don't you believe me?" " Of course not." "Nineteen years, for theft  and several attempts to escape." "Look in the archives." "My name is not Favre  my name is Jean Valjean." "Does it matter?" "Did you have any choice?" "Doesn't society make you lie?" "You're too soft, Marius." "You should become harsh, even ruthless." "By signing your marriage certificate I committed forgery." "If someone finds out about it, your marriage will be cancelled." "Cosette's name isn't Fauchelevent?" "It's all one big lie, Marius." "All of it." "But Cosette loves you." "I don't even know her name." "When she was a child, I..." " Found her?" "Bought her." "I paid 1500 francs." "You bought her like an animal?" "Animals are treated better than she was treated there." "I never told her anything." "Including about myself." "She'll never find out about it." "I swear." "Why do you unburden yourself to me, while nobody suspected nothing?" "That's why I told you." "It got too heavy for me." "You have no idea how horrible it can be to be the only one that knows who I really am." "Jean Valjean  former convict, number 9430." "I can't take it anymore." "Javert knew about it." "But he died." "Why did you pick me to be your confidant?" " I must disappear from Cosette's life." "She'll have a beautiful life." "If I stay here, I might spoil it for her." "Do you understand?" "But I don't have the strength to leave." "And that's why  I want you to help me." "I don't want to hurt you." "I love Cosette." "As a father." "No, I love Cosette." "I prefer you'd leave." "Is it you?" " I was in the neighborhood and I thought..." "I'll ask for monsieur to see you." " And Madame." "It has been a while." "Please wait in here." "Could you wait in here?" "They are having guests in the suite." "How is she?" "Very good." "I distract her with presents and celebrations." "Celebrations?" "You don't turn her into such a shallow, smart little lady that..." "I'm sorry, but that's none of your business anymore." "And how are you yourself?" " Good." "Very good." "Just like everybody I think winter lasts too long." "Winter or not, time goes by very slowly." "Cosette told she passed by." " She didn't come inside." "I leave the hatches closed, so the house appears to be uninhabited." "In a certain matter, the house is inhabited to me." "What did you tell her to justify my absence?" "I used your own story that you had to travel to London for business." "Doesn't she wonder why I don't write her anything?" "I told her you wrote a letter to the both of us  like it should when it come to married women  but that I lost the letter." "I'll need to return from England one day." "You'll leave again." "There's nothing that keeps you here, you're a free man." "Free?" "A Jean Valjean who's free?" "How could you say a thing like that?" " I need to get back." "We're having friends for dinner." "It will be served soon." "You'd better not visit us again." "Why don't you leave for ever?" "So we both don't need to lie anymore." "I don't have any money left." "I gave it to you." "I didn't touch it." "It belongs to you." "No, it's the dowry of Cosette." " I don't want the money." "Because it's from me?" " Because I don't know where it comes from." "A former convict with 600 000 francs looks suspicious." "I earned the money honorably." "Don't you believe me?" "I want you to have it back." "And there's one more thing I'd appreciate." "I want my candle holders back." "Ask Lorrain to bring them to me." "I know you're awake." "Are you crying?" " It was him, wasn't it?" "I recognized his voice." "He didn't even ask about me." "He didn't want to interrupt." "We had guests visiting." "He didn't want to interrupt his daughter?" "He was in a hurry." "He just returned from London  and was on his way to Egypt." "He'll rent a boat to travel the river Nile." "So don't expect any letters from him." "Because the postal services in those countries..." "The thing is, he gets old." "Old people tend to get egoistic." "Egoistic?" "He hasn't visited us a single time." "Marius, I got the feeling he's avoiding me." "He asked me to tell you some things." "First of all  that he loves you, and that you shouldn't worry about him." "You know him, honey." "Modest as always, he prefers to keep a low profile." "He left early at our wedding." "He didn't spend a single night in the pretty room in here." "Dear Marius, dear Cosette." "After having prosperous trip I arrived at Cairo  it's a busy and quite dirty city." "There's poverty here as well." "But the wonderful sun compensates a lot and means a blessing for my old bones." "Your candleholders." "Monsieur told me you'd hand me over a letter from Egypt." "Tell monsieur Pontmercy  that there isn't any news from Egypt." "Do you have anybody that can get you the medicines?" "My daughter." " Does she live here?" "You know very well she doesn't." "Why?" "I don't know the young lady." "Madame." "She got married." "Such a wonderful wedding." "I'm a very lucky man." "But you don't know her?" "She's the only one that could have sent you here." "I didn't call for a doctor." "Monsieur Gillenormand sent me over here." "He paid me in advance.... ... so you don't owe me anything." "So Cosette isn't worried about me." "Luckily, I was warned before..." " It's too late?" "Come on, don't be so pessimistic, we'll get you through." "If you don't give up." "Joy of living is the best medicine." "I've had so much joy in my life, I've finished all of my supplies." "The body has a great deal of resilience." " The body can cope with almost everything." "But my spirit got tired." "The body wants to move in one direction, the spirit in another." "That's called 'death', isn't it?" "Yes." "I've got just enough fabric to make you a tie." "Together with this stylish jacket, you'll be a true gentleman." "You know what they say: fine feathers make fine birds." "Now, you're just as attracting as you used to be with your sergeant uniform." "I need to look like an ambassador." " You do." "If we get the job done, I'll buy you a real suit  with everything you need: gloves, scarf and tie." "And we'll go for a walk along the boulevards in the sun." "So the poor will be afraid of us too." "Has doctor Barnette paid a visit?" " I asked him to visit." "Don't you feel well?" " I'm as healthy as I wish to be." "He came to report about the situation of your wife's father." "Cosette's father is traveling down the Nile." " No, my boy." "Don't say that to me." "He doesn't travel the Nile, he's traveling to his death." "When Lorrain brought him the candleholders, he found him there in a pathetic state of mind." "I thought it was my duty..." " Your duty?" "And you're saying that?" "Because he didn't share your political ideas, you made my father suffer." "And now you want to help a man who..." "You don't know who he really is." "I know he's an old man, just like me." "Is there anything else I need to know?" "No." "So act the way you think you need to." "But Cosette may not know about it." "A certain monsieur Thenard wants to see the baron." "At this time?" "It's almost midnight." "What kind of a man is he?" "He told me he's a former ambassador." " Ambassador?" "Let him in." "As you have noticed, I'm a former ambassador." "It's really obvious." "But I was planning on going to sleep." "I won't be long." "I'm perishing with nostalgia to the countries, far away." "To be short, I want to go away." "But travel is expensive." "I'm not here to beg, don't worry." "But would you be interested in buying a secret?" "Try." " Monsieur the baron..." "You are acquainted with a true villain." "He entered your life using a fake name." "His name is Jean Valjean." "I know about that." " A convict." "Yes, I know that too." " Yes, I just told you so." "I knew it before." "Is this all of it?" " No." "It just started." "It's getting better." "If you give me 20 000 francs, I'll tell you about the murder, with all the details." "20 000 is quite a lot." "What about 10 000?" "Not a single franc, Thenardier." "How did you call me?" "Would you prefer Jondrette?" " Monsieur must be wrong." "500 francs?" "I'll be serious now." "I would have told you the story after all, just for the cause of justice." "This money is for you to make you leave." "I know your stories very well." "40 years ago, Valjean has stolen a bread." "He paid his dues." "He paid much more than you'll ever pay." "But Valjean not only stole a bread." "He's a murderer as well." "You are wasting your time." "I know everything about him." "Don't make him look worse than he is." "Last year, in June, the day of the revolt, I was walking down the sewers." "Why, that's none of your business." "But in the main sewer, that ends in the river Seine  I met Valjean, carrying a dead body he was planning on throwing into the river." "The man just got murdered, his blood was still warm." "It was clear that Valjean had beaten his brains out." "This is what I found on the body." "A body?" "And did you see the face?" "Not very well." "It was covered in blood and it was dark in there." "But I saw the face of the murderer." "And that's what counts." "Thenardier, even if you wouldn't have come from the sewers  you'd still spread an awful smell." "You came here to accuse a man, but you cleared him instead." "He's just as noble as you are evil." "I'm not afraid." "I know enough about you to have you locked away for a life time." "If they want to cut my head off, they'd need to find me first." "This will be 10 000." "Thank you, you're a good person." "Thank Waterloo instead." "You saved the life of a colonel there." "Or did you forget about it?" "He remembers." "From heaven he's watching over you." "He wants to safe you." "I don't know why." "That's the secret of the death, gods secret." "You won't be decapitated." "Tomorrow, you'll leave for America  with that wife and daughter of yours." "Aboard the ship you'll receive another 20 000." "And now  out of here!" "Should I call the police?" " Bring me a carriage, quick!" "Get up, hurry." "What's going on?" " I'm so afraid we'll be too late." "You don't need to get dressed." "You can come like that." "Rue Plumet." "Rue Plumet?" "But that means my father returned." "He never left." "I made it all up." "Made it up?" "You lied to me?" "Did you lie, darling?" " Don't call me 'darling'." "I'm a monster, not a human." "My love for you is the only reason." "When he told me he loved you, I was afraid." "I don't understand." "All I see is you doubted my father." "More than that." "I'm not looking for an apology, but if you'd stand in my shoes..." "No, never." "Don't you think I never wondered what his life would have been before he met me  where he came from, what happened to him?" "Don't say a word." "I've thought of the worse." "But I always trusted him." "And always loved him." "That the carriage of my grandfather's doctor." " Why?" "My grandfather is a better person than me." "Well?" " It's about time the two of you arrived." "You can do something, can't you?" "I'm sure I can." "There are medicines." "But the only medicine he really needs, is her." "Did you forget something, doctor?" "That's good." "I'd like you to do me one more favor." "DO you see those candles?" "Would you light them before you leave?" "You were right doctor." "Death approaches." "It's very near." "I never thought it would be that shining." "Cosette, it that you?" "Don't cry, darling." "I'm so happy" "I thought I'd die without seeing you again." "But there you are." "Don't cry Cosette." "Daddy, Marius is here too." "Marius is there too." "That means that  he has forgiven me." " Forgiven?" "I know, it's difficult to forgive." "I've tried my whole life." "But I didn't succeed." " You should forgive me, not the other way around." "I just need to thank you." "And, my god, what for?" "It wasn't any trouble." "You have a wonderful husband, Cosette." "And you are so beautiful too." "But your dress..." " It's my nightdress." "Nightdress?" "You've been riding through Paris just in your nightdress?" "You walked through hell with me on your shoulders." "You were much heavier than a nightdress." "Here I am, talking about history  while I didn't plan on doing that." "It's part of the death." " Death?" "Yes, but dying is an easy thing to do." " I forbid you to die." "Yes, you can order me." "Who knows  I may obey you." "Just for once." "But then  I'll need to obey the other." "God, I mean." "It's probably for the best." "Don't forget I'm miserable." "Even I don't forget about that." "My death will be a relief for everybody." "Father, what are you saying?" "Marius, you can tell this is bad." "Please, do something." "Do you hear this, Marius, the faith that she has in you?" "That means she loves you." "Children  that's good." "It's good that you love each other so much." "Cosette, look how he smiles at us." "Isn't he beautiful?" "My dad is pretty, isn't he?" "You bad girl, you never told me so." "Children, I close my eyes not so I can't see you no more." "But these candles, they blind me." "It looks as if the have magical powers." "You put some ordinary candles into them." "Just normal candles  and they shine like the sun." "I don't know what happens to me." "I can see..." "I can see the light." "An ocean of light."
