[00:01.042] Valjean arrives, dressed as a soldier.
[00:02.484] Joly:
[00:02.734] Here comes a man in uniform
[00:04.185] What brings you to this place?
[00:06.124] Valjean:
[00:06.461] I come here as a volunteer
[00:07.809] Joly:
[00:08.062] Approach and show your face.
[00:09.667] Sentry:
[00:09.951] You wear an army uniform.
[00:11.261] Valjean:
[00:11.550] That's why they let me through.
[00:13.092] Joly:
[00:13.277] You've got some years behind you sir.
[00:14.793] Valjean:
[00:15.045] There's much that I can do.
[00:16.358] Joly:
[00:16.877] You see that prisoner over there?
[00:18.416] Grantaire:
[00:18.713] A volunteer like you!
[00:19.852] Combeferre:
[00:20.508] A spy who calls himself Javert!
[00:21.797] Grantaire:
[00:22.147] He's going to get it too...
[00:23.686] Sentry:
[00:23.955] They're getting ready to attack!
[00:25.096] Enjolras gives Valjean a gun.
[00:25.700] Enjolras:
[00:25.964] Take this and use it well!
[00:27.511] But if you shoot us in the back,
[00:29.200] You'll never live to tell.
[00:31.698] Student 1:
[00:31.907] Platoon of sappers advancing toward the barricade!
[00:34.978] Student 2:
[00:35.202] Troops behind them, fifty men or more!
[00:45.859] Enjolras:
[00:46.105] Fire!
[00:47.381] Gunfire is heard.
[00:56.410] Feuilly:
[00:56.649] Sniper!
[00:57.776] Valjean shoots a sniper who is aiming at Enjolras.
[01:00.867]
[01:11.459] Lesgles:
[01:11.680] Look how they turn and run!
[01:12.568] Grantaire:
[01:12.808] And so the war was won!
[01:13.737] Enjolras:
[01:13.975] They will be back again,
[01:15.058] Make an attack again.
[01:16.500] (To Valjean.)
[01:16.808] For your presence of mind
[01:17.971] For the deed you have done
[01:19.186] I will thank you M'sieur
[01:20.175] When our battle is won.
[01:23.047] Valjean:
[01:23.243] Give me no thanks M'sieur
[01:24.253] There is something you can do.
[01:25.889] Enjolras:
[01:26.109] If it is in my power.
[01:28.281] Valjean:
[01:28.484] Give me the spy Javert
[01:29.939] Let me take care of him!
[01:31.453] Javert:
[01:31.747] The law is inside out
[01:32.892] The world is upside down
[01:35.271] Enjolras:
[01:35.468] Do what you have to do,
[01:36.553] The man belongs to you.
[01:38.965] The enemy may be regrouping. Hold yourself in readiness.
[01:43.067] Come my friends, back to your positions.
[01:45.623] The night is falling fast.
[01:52.022] Valjean:
[01:52.239] We meet again.
[01:52.910] Javert:
[01:53.138] You've hungered for this all your life;
[01:54.790] Take your revenge!
[01:56.863] How right you should kill with a knife!
[01:58.757] Valjean cuts the ropes which bind Javert.
[02:00.792] Valjean:
[02:01.021] You talk too much,
[02:02.407] Your life is safe in my hands.
[02:06.608] Javert:
[02:06.851] Don't understand
[02:08.546] Valjean:
[02:08.758] Get out of here.
[02:09.433] Javert:
[02:09.680] Valjean, take care!
[02:10.294] I'm warning you...
[02:10.896] Valjean:
[02:11.191] Clear out of here.
[02:13.623] Javert:
[02:13.977] Once a thief, forever a thief
[02:15.161] What you want you always steal!
[02:17.158] You would trade your life for mine.
[02:18.748] Yes, Valjean, you want a deal!
[02:21.037] Shoot me now for all I care!
[02:23.152] If you let me go, beware,
[02:25.149] You'll still answer to Javert!
[02:29.452] Valjean:
[02:29.754] You are wrong, and always have been wrong.
[02:32.909] I'm a man, no worse than any man.
[02:37.658] You are free, and there are no conditions,
[02:41.106] No bargains or petitions.
[02:43.324] There's nothing that I blame you for.
[02:46.501] You've done your duty, nothing more.
[02:52.420] If I come out of this alive, you'll find me
[02:54.760] At number fifty-five Rue Plumet
[02:58.075] No doubt our paths will cross again.
[03:03.091] (Valjean fires his gun into the air, Javert leaves quickly. Muted applause from the students who think Javert has been shot.)
[03:10.645] Enjolras:
[03:11.171] Courfeyrac, you take the watch
[03:12.686] They won't attack until it's light
[03:16.248] Everybody keep the faith
[03:19.034] For certain as the eagle flies
[03:20.982] We're not alone
[03:23.375] The people too must rise
[03:28.019] Marius, rest.
[03:30.645]
