1:02:02
A serious-- A grave violation
of the public trust has been committed.
1:02:07
An inferior has shown a complete
lack of respect for the law.
1:02:11
- He must be exposed and punished.
- Who is the offender?
1:02:15
I am.
1:02:21
I slandered you, monsieur. I'm here
to ask that you demand my dismissal.
1:02:27
Inspector, what are you talking about?
1:02:31
Resignation is honorable,
and I don't deserve it.
1:02:36
I must be punished.
1:02:38
You treated me unjustly over the--
about the woman.
1:02:44
This time you must treat me justly.
You must dismiss me.
1:02:48
For what?
1:02:53
I denounced you
to the Paris prefect of police.
1:02:57
- I swore that you were a convict.
- You said I was what?
1:03:02
A convict.
1:03:05
I had no proof.
1:03:10
Only a memory of this man, Jean Valjean,
whom I guarded 20 years ago in prison.
1:03:17
I denounced you
without a shred of evidence.
1:03:21
- You denounced me?
- Yes.
1:03:24
I was a fool. They told me I was wrong.
1:03:28
They said you couldn't be
Jean Valjean, and they were right.
1:03:32
I've just returned from Arras,
where I saw the real Jean Valjean.
1:03:37
- The real Valjean?
- Yes.
1:03:39
Two weeks ago, a man called Carnot
was arrested for poaching apples.
1:03:47
At the prison, a convict took one look
at him and said, "I know this man.
1:03:52
We were in prison in Toulon
20 years ago.
1:03:56
He's Jean Valjean." I didn't believe it.
