Les Miserables Page #8

-No. Marius, this is not a game.

-Tomorrow you have to mean it.

-I mean it.

We`ll plan our tactics

when I get back.

When those bastards try to bury

Lamarque, we'll bury them instead.

You hurry back. After tomorrow...

...you can make love to her

as a free man.

Maybe.

Cosette!

Cosette!

Cosette!

`"Go to 1 8 Rue de L`Ouest."

Why? Why?

-He has to leave. I have to go with him.

-What`s wrong, Cosette?

-His life is at stake.

-His life? How?

It`s a secret, Marius,

I can`t give it away.

I was an orphan. He saved me.

He gave me everything.

-I can`t leave him right now.

-That means I'll never see you again.

I know what we can do.

We`ll talk to him. He'll agree.

-You can come with us to England.

-England?

Cosette, are you crazy?

Tomorrow we`re going to fight.

We`re going to restore the Republic.

I can`t run away now. Why do you have

to go to England? Why now? Why?

-He needs me, Marius. He needs me.

-Why do you have to go now?

He took care of me,

and now he needs me.

I understand.

I understand.

Don`t be sad, Marius. PIease.

Don`t be sad, Marius.

When? When? When do you leave?

Tomorrow no one can leave Paris

because of Lamarque`s funeral.

He`s not sure.

He said we might leave the next day.

I`ll be here tomorrow night.

Promise me. Promise me

you`ll meet me here.

It`s obvious

we have them outnumbered.

There are 24,000 troops in the city...

...and they can be reinforced

by another 30,000 in two days.

So the question is,

where to deploy them?

My informers say the critical moment is

when the procession passes the square.

That`s where they`ll start the fighting.

Well, we won't fight them

for every inch. We`ll surround them.

Long live the Republic! Long live....

It`s frightening, Papa.

Why are they so angry about this?

Lamarque was a hero

who fought for the republic.

Why is the king giving Lamarque

a state funeral?

He`s trying to claim Lamarque

as his own hero.

It`s a lie, it`s the final insult.

That`s why they`re angry.

Long live the Republic!

Long live the Republic!

-Long live the Republic!

-Long live....

Long live Lamarque!

Long live the Republic!

-Long live the Republic!

-Long live the Republic!

Long live the Republic!

-Lamarque is ours!

-Come on!

Let's bury Lamarque!

Lamarque is our hero!

Come on, everybody, pull!

Come on!

Long live the Republic!

To the barricades!

Get down!

Move up!

Your information is as good as gold...

...but the idiots

in the municipal guard...

...ignored your advice

about the arsenal.

Javert, why are you dressed

like that?

Because l`m on the trail of someone

who is very dangerous.

It will be an important arrest. Possibly

the most important of my career.

Indeed? Who is it?

I`d rather not say until I`ve got him.

At the very least,

show me where you`re going.

Past the perimeter. Here.

There are dozens of barricades.

Anything could happen.

We have no control in this area.

It`s under control, sir.

As soon as it`s dark, we`ll go through

the barrier. Hundreds are fleeing.

Police don`t care who leaves. More

concerned about people coming in...

...so it`s a perfect opportunity.

Cosette, please!

How bad is the fighting?

I didn`t go anywhere near it.

I went the other way.

-What are they saying?

-No one really knows what`s happening.

The streets are full of barricades.

Everyone says something different.

Whatever the truth is,

a lot of people will die tonight.

Is it too dangerous for us

to wait till the morning?

He`s not in the barricades?

I promised I`d wait.

Even if he can't come, I have to wait.

-It hurts this much?

-I`m sorry.

I`ve known him only a few weeks,

that`s what you think.

I`m only a silly girl, he`s little more than

a stranger. But that`s not how I feel.

I understand, my dear.

Your papers.

Right.

Marius. Not tonight.

One hour.

I`ll be gone one hour.

-I found my boys.

-Well done, Gavroche.

Marius.

The law is here

to protect you, Cosette...

...from criminals like this scum.

Is Valjean here? Is he alone?

I`ll never tell you anything.

Do you know who and what

you`re protecting?

Didn`t he tell you

he`s a common thief?

-I know exactly who he is.

-Oh, yes? Did he tell you who you are?

Did he tell you

you`re a bastard child?

Did he tell you

your mother was a whore?

-You`re breaking the law.

-Untie me.

There`ll be no turning back.

Who are you?

Who are you?

I`m Chief lnspector Javert. If you

surrender, things will go better for you.

Surrender? I`m taking you

to face the people's justice.

At the barricades?

You fool. Don`t you know

your revolution has no chance?

If we die, you die with us.

Goodbye, Marius.

I love you, Cosette.

Go on!

He came to say goodbye.

He loves me, Papa.

He loves me.

Take her to our old house.

It`s going to be all right.

I promise you.

Fire at will!

So here we are.

I was right.

You know him?

When we have a spare bullet,

we`re going to kill him.

What are you doing here?

Where is cosette?

Waiting for you in the house

where you fell in love.

-Go to her. Go to her.

-I can`t. Not now.

-Not now.

-She`s your future.

If we can`t win,

then none of us have a future.

You have love.

That`s the only future God gives us.

Go.

Gavroche, get back!

-Gavroche!

-I need bullets.

-Gavroche!

-Get back here!

Come back!

-Gavroche!

-Get back here!

Gavroche! Come back!

Come back!

Papa!

-Papa!

-Papa.

Let`s do it now.

-You proud of your work?

-You`re next.

Let me do it.

You kill him in the alley.

We don`t want his blood

in here with ours.

A knife. That`s right.

It suits you better.

Why? Why couldn`t you

leave me alone?

-I`m nothing. I`m no one!

-Yes, but you`ve managed to beat me.

I`m not trying to beat you.

I want to live in peace!

Then hurry up and do it.

Your friends need you.

That way. Through the gate.

You`ll be safe.

-You plan to shoot me in the back.

-I`m letting you go, Javert.

You`d better hurry.

They won`t be merciful.

Go on.

You should kill me.

I won`t stop.

Understand?

I won't let you go.

You should end this.

Kill me.

You`re dead, Javert.

-Get back!

-Everybody, get back!

-Yes, sir!

-On the back! Back!

Take them in two!

Have at them, lads!

Surrender!

Surrender or be shot!

-Well done! Men, search the building!

-Yes, sir!

Stand. Stand.

-Look on the other side of the street!

-Sir!

Follow me!

You men in there,

check that doorway!

Come on. Do it. Jump.

Long live the Republic!

-Long live the Republic!

-This way, lads. Be quick about it.

Long live the Republic!

-Aim!

-Long live the Republic!

Long live the Republic!

Fire!

-You two, look on the roof.

-Sir.

Get some lanterns. Hurry.

-This way.

-He`s smarter than that.

He`ll go downhill to the river.

Come on.

It`s all right. It`s all right.

It`s all right.

Now, come on, help me.

You must help me.

Push.

Push!

Pull. Pull!

Is he alive?

Careful.

Careful.

-He needs a doctor.

-To make him healthy...

...for the firing squad?

You know there`ll be an amnesty
