1:04:01
I went there to see for myself.
Well, there's no question.
1:04:07
Carnot is Valjean.
1:04:12
I apologize, monsieur.
1:04:15
I look at you now,
and it's obvious you're not a convict.
1:04:22
You don't think I'm a convict?
1:04:25
Of course I don't.
I've seen Valjean with my own eyes.
1:04:29
I must've been out of my mind to think a
great man like you could be a criminal.
1:04:33
- This man-- He admits to being Valjean?
- Of course not.
1:04:39
He pretends to be a half-wit
who can't understand the charges.
1:04:43
Valjean has broken parole.
1:04:47
That calls for life imprisonment.
1:04:51
- When is the trial?
- Tomorrow.
1:04:56
- How long will it take?
- No more than an afternoon.
1:05:00
- Tomorrow.
- The evidence is overwhelming.
1:05:03
I returned so you could dismiss me
and press charges for slander.
1:05:11
I must consider.
1:05:16
I was just on my way home.
Walk with me.
1:05:20
You are a stern man.
1:05:23
But you're honorable.
I want you to remain prefect.
1:05:27
- Monsieur le Maire, that's impossible.
- You've exaggerated your offense.
1:05:31
I've not exaggerated, monsieur.
1:05:34
I resented you.
I chafed at your authority.
1:05:38
And out of revenge I slandered you.
1:05:42
If a subordinate of mine had done that
I would have broken him.
1:05:47
You must punish me, monsieur,
or my life will have been meaningless.
1:05:52
Blame me.
1:05:56
- You, Monsieur le Maire?
- I order you to forgive yourself.
