He was feeling some kind of rage

because he didn't understand

the generosity of this man

he had stolen from.

So this was the truth.

During twenty years

at the penal colony,

they had taught him

a different one.

- What do you want?

- I don't want anything.

- Then why are you here?

- I was passing by.

So pass.

It's beautiful.

- My coin, sir!

- Go away.

- Give me my coin back!

- Go away.

- Give it back to me!

- Go away, I say!

Eh, listen!

Stop!

Thief. He was a thief.

He understood that he would pay

for the silver coin his whole life.

Complaint of Pierre Burloz

called Petit Pierre.

Armed robbery.

Dangerous recidivist.

Didn't have his passport

stamped any more.

Wanted.

A few years later,

the little town of Montreuil

sur Mer in northern France

rose unexpectedly.

A humble craftsman of

mysterious origin, Mr. Madeleine,

was applying a new craft process

to the manufacture of jewelry.

Soon, he bought the most

beautiful house in the region

and transformed it into a hospital,

while he came to live humbly

on the other side of the square.

After your hospital, it was

a pharmacy free of charge.

Then, an old people's home.

A school for boys.

Another for girls.

At last,

a help fund for the workers,

which demonstrates

your endless generosity

and your relentless commitment

to the public welfare.

Your industriousness has brought

prosperity to the entire region.

Your big heart is chasing misery,

ignorance, and illness.

For these services,

despite your dislike of honors,

in the name of His Majesty,

I appoint you

mayor of Montreuil sur Mer.

He had become Mr. Mayor.

People said of him,

this is a rich man who

doesn't look pretentious,

and this is a lucky man

who doesn't look happy.

When a little chimney sweep

was coming into town,

he asked to take him in

and gave him some money.

Word circulated,

and many more came.

But one day, another visitor

came to Montreuil.

All right. Thank you.

Mr. Mayor.

Mr. Mayor, I wanted to introduce

myself as soon as I arrived.

I am the new Police Inspector.

I was waiting for you.

You will be the head of the City Police

under my supervision.

- I will be proud of it.

- What is your name?

Inspector Javert.

Javert.

Yes. Javert.

Here is my nomination.

Thank you.

What is your service record?

I joined the police 10 years ago.

I did three years in Montauban,

four in Moulin, four in Bthune.

I am hoping to be appointed

in Paris after my stay here.

I hope it for you. In the meantime,

I hope we will get along.

I got the best training.

My father was the head locksmith

of the penal colony of Toulon.

I spent my youth

among the worst rabble.

We had the indomitable,
