in a few days. It`s me you want.

-Yes.

-Arrest me.

Let him go.

-Is that all you care about?

-You`ve caught me.

That`s what you care about.

Let him take the boy where he wants.

Then bring him back here to me.

-Marius. Marius.

-He`ll live.

-Toussaint, find a doctor.

-Yes, monsieur.

Marius.

Take some money.

Promise him more.

-Yes, monsieur.

-Go, go!

I promised I would give you this.

It was your mother`s.

She was a good woman.

I loved her, Cosette.

-No.

-I`ve told you everything.

-Take care of him. Live a happy life.

-No!

I made an arrangement, my dear.

I have to go.

-Promise me you`ll be happy.

-No. Not like this, papa, not like this.

This is right, my dear.

I stole something, I did.

I stole happiness with you.

I don`t mind paying.

-Go to him. He is your life now.

-Please.

No.

Bring him here.

That is an important memo

for the prefect.

It explains what l`ve done

with the prisoner.

-Make sure he sees it before breakfast.

-Sir.

I`m glad I had time to myself.

I needed to think about

what you deserve.

You`re a difficult problem.

Move to the edge.

-Why aren`t you taking me in?

-You`re my prisoner. Do what I tell you!

You don`t understand

the importance of the law.

I`ve given you an order. Obey it.

Why didn`t you kill me?

I don`t have the right to kill you.

But you hate me.

I don`t hate you.

I don`t feel anything.

You don`t want to go back

to the quarries, do you?

Then for once, we agree.

I`m going to spare you

from a life in prison, Jean Valjean.

It`s a pity the rules don`t allow me

to be merciful.

I`ve tried to live my life

without breaking a single rule.

You`re free.
