[02:37.009]Your time is up
[02:38.158]And your parole's begun
[02:39.569]You know what that means.
[02:40.562]VALJEAN
[02:40.875]Yes, it means I'm free.
[02:42.756]JAVERT
[02:43.278]No! It means you get
[02:46.100]Your yellow ticket-of-leave
[02:47.771]You are a thief.
[02:48.424]VALJEAN
[02:48.712]I stole a loaf of bread.
[02:49.783]JAVERT
[02:50.070]You robbed a house.
[02:51.455]VALJEAN
[02:51.716]I broke a window pane.
[02:55.948]My sisters child was close to death
[02:58.612]And we were starving.
[02:59.788]JAVERT
[03:00.049]You will starve again
[03:01.642]Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
[03:03.654]VALJEAN
[03:04.176]I know the meaning of those 19 years
[03:07.598]A slave of the law.
[03:11.778]JAVERT
[03:12.144]Five years for what you did
[03:14.730]The rest because you tried to run
[03:17.264]Yes, 24601.
[03:19.223]VALJEAN
[03:19.510]My name is Jean Valjean.
[03:21.913]JAVERT
[03:22.175]And I am Javert

[03:42.446]You're standing in your grave.
[04:02.194]VALJEAN
[04:02.482]Freedom is mine. The earth is still.
[04:07.680]I feel the wind. I breathe again.
[04:13.244]And the skies clear.
[04:18.024]The earth is waking.
[04:22.805]Drink from the pool. How clean the taste.
[04:28.682]Never forget the years, the waste.
[04:34.926]Nor forgive them
[04:36.597]For what they've done.
[04:38.948]They are the guilty- everyone.
[04:44.042]The day begins...
[04:45.453]And now let's see
[04:47.647]What this new world,
[04:48.823]Will do for me!
[04:54.413]FARMER
[04:58.070]You'll have to go
[05:17.897]I'll pay you off for the day
[05:19.386]Collect your bits and pieces there
[05:20.718]And be on your way.
[05:21.842]VALJEAN
[05:22.077]You have given me half
[05:23.487]What the other men get
[05:24.637]This handful of tin
[05:25.917]Wouldn't buy my sweat!
[05:27.458]LABOURER
[05:28.111]You broke the law
[05:29.391]It's there for people to see
[05:31.167]Why should you get the same
[05:32.160]As honest men like me?
[05:37.358]VALJEAN
[05:37.593]Now every door is closed to me
[05:38.638]Another jail. Another key. Another Chain.
[05:42.139]For when I come to any town
[05:43.314]They check my papers
[05:44.359]And they find the mark of Cain.
[05:46.553]In their eyes
[05:48.225]I see their fear
[05:50.733]\"We do not want you here.\"
[06:08.078]INNKEEPERS WIFE
[06:10.116]My rooms are full
[06:11.213]And I've no supper to spare
[06:12.702]I'd like to help a stranger
[06:14.008]All we want is to be fair.
[06:15.811]VALJEAN
[06:16.098]I will pay in advance
[06:17.482]I will sleep in a barn
[06:19.520]You see how dark it is
[06:20.695]I'm not some kind of dog.
[06:22.158]INNKEEPER
[06:22.524]You leave my house!
[06:23.647]Or feel the weight of my rod.
[06:25.894]We're law-abiding people here
[06:27.905]Thanks be to God.
[06:29.891]VALJEAN
[06:30.831]And now I know how freedom feels
[06:50.005]The jailer always at your heels
[06:51.233]It is the law!
[06:53.140]Ths piece of paper in my hand
[06:54.315]It makes me cursed throughout the land
[06:55.778]It is the law!
[06:57.319]Like a curse
[06:58.808]I walk the street,
[07:02.047]The dirt beneath their feet...
[07:09.179]BISHOP
[07:09.675]Come in, Sir, for you are weary
[07:14.142]And the night is cold out there.
[07:18.870]Though our lives are vey humble
[07:22.214]What we have, we have to share.
[07:28.196]There is wine here to revive you.
[07:32.323]There is bread to make you strong.
[07:37.130]There's a bed to rest 'til morning.
[07:40.735]Rest from pain, and rest from wrong.
[07:48.937]VALJEAN
[07:49.198]He let me eat my fill.
[07:50.478]I had the lion's share.
[07:52.908]This silver in my hand
[07:54.553]Costs twice what I had earned
[07:56.513]In all those nineteen years-
[07:58.393]That lifetime of despair
[08:00.692]And yet he trusted me-
[08:04.820]The old fool trusted me-
[08:06.544]He'd done his bit of good
[08:08.712]I played the greatful serf
[08:10.410]And thanked him like I should.
[08:12.865]But when the house was still,
[08:14.563]I got up in the night
[08:17.750]Took the silver,
[08:19.030]Took my flight!
[08:25.247]CONSTABLE 1
[08:33.842]Tell his reverence your story.
[08:35.148]CONSTABLE 2
[08:35.435]Let us see if he's impressed.
[08:36.872]CONSTABLE 1
[08:37.264]You were lodging here last night.
[08:39.275]CONSTABLE 2
[08:39.510]You were the honest Bishop's guest.
[08:41.522]And than out of Christian goodness.
[08:43.481]When he learned about your plight
[08:45.126]CONSTABLE 1
[08:45.414]You mantain he made a present of this
[08:48.183]sliver
[08:49.019]BISHOP
[08:49.306]That is right.
[08:51.422]But my friend you left so early
[08:53.460]Surley something slipped your mind.
[08:56.228]You forgot I gave these also.
[08:59.128]Would you leave the best behind?
[09:04.300]So, Messieurs, you may release him
[09:08.088]For this man has spoken true.
[09:11.040]I commend you for your duty
[09:14.201]And God's blessing go with you.
[09:21.541](to VALJEAN)But remember this, my brother
[09:26.609]See in this some higher plan.
[09:31.024]You must use this precious silver
[09:34.263]To become an honest man.
[09:40.480]By the witness of the martyrs
[09:44.973]By the Passion and the Blood
[09:49.022]God has raised you out of darkness
[09:52.810]I have bought your soul for God!
