[00:03.130] Valjean, at last,
[00:05.640] We see each other plain
[00:07.690]
[00:08.260] `M'sieur le Mayor',
[00:11.50] You'll wear a different chain.
[00:13.680]
[00:14.500] Before you say another word, Javert
[00:16.470]
[00:17.90] Before you chain me up like a slave again
[00:19.900] Listen to me! There is something I must do.
[00:23.590]
[00:25.720] This woman leaves behind a suffering child.
[00:28.540] There is none but me who can intercede,
[00:30.290]
[00:30.910] In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
[00:34.980]
[00:36.800] Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
[00:39.420] Then I'll return...
[00:40.660] You must think me mad!
[00:42.360] I've hunted you across the years
[00:45.140] A man like you can never change
[00:47.380] A man... such as you...
[00:52.950] Men like me can never change
[00:55.580] Men like you can never change
[00:58.330] No, 24601,
[01:02.960] My duty's to the law
[01:05.580] You have no rights
[01:06.580] Come with me 24601
[01:09.140] Now the wheel has turned around
[01:11.380] Jean Valjean is nothing now
[01:14.510] Dare you talk to me of crime
[01:17.0] And the price you had to pay
[01:19.760] Every man is born in sin
[01:22.380] Every man must choose his way
[01:24.510]
[01:25.320] You know nothing of Javert
[01:27.690] I was born inside a jail
[01:30.440] I was born with scum like you
[01:33.130] I am from the gutter too!
[01:35.990]
[01:46.610] And this I swear to you tonight
[01:49.550] There is no place for you to hide
[01:51.800] Your child will live within my care
[01:55.110] Wherever you may hide away
[01:58.120] And I will raise her to the light.
[02:02.240] I swear to you, I will be there!
