PART ONE:
TEMPEST IN A SKULL
- A convict doesn't deserve it.
- It's bad enough having to feed him.
You're free.
Your shoulders
earned you that much.
The mayor asked
that you be rewarded
for your little exploit
with the town hall statue.
Your sentence was due
to end October 1st.
We're releasing you today.
Go change
and pick up your passport.
All right.
- Aren't you happy?
- I am.
"Jean Valjean, convict.
Released September 8, 1815.
Profession:
tree trimmer.Sentenced at the age of 25 to five years'
for breaking and entering
and theft.
Additional sentences of 14 years
for four escape attempts.
This man is very dangerous."
Your passport must be stamped
in every town you pass through.
Is that clear?
They have to know who you are.
It's clear.
So it never ends?
After the chains
comes the passport.
Here's your due.
120 francs and 15 sous.
Sign.
I counted 171 francs.
Yours is not to count.
and it's never wrong.
Now sign.
Remember:
One repeat offenseand you're back here for good.
I know. Thanks.
- How much?
- Four sous.
That's at least 15 years of pay!
Nineteen years.
And they cheated me.
There's two sous missing.
- Sorry.
Where you headed?
Pontarlier.
There's laboring work there.
It pays well, but it's far.
Far?
The farther, the better.
Nineteen years of hard labor!
I need to exercise these.
I need to walk.
Which way is it?
- Pontarlier?
Head north.
Pass by Grasse, then Riez,
until you get to Digne.
Then head for Brianon.
Once you get there,
ask the way.
- Is that Digne?
- Sure is.
Where's the town hall?
Behind the church.
You can't miss it.
No, thanks.
I have money.
Why can't I get
a meal or bed in this town?
- No one would help?
- They turned me out everywhere.
Did you knock on that door?
- Which one?
- Over there.
Knock on that door.
They'll take you in.
Come in.
Come in, my friend.
It's like this:
My name is Jean Valjean.
I'm a convict.
I stole a loaf of bread
from a bakery.
I was caught and resisted arrest.
I got five years.
I got another 14 years.
I got out four days ago.
No one will put me up around here
due to my yellow passport.
An old woman said
you'd take me in.
What is this here? An inn?
I can pay.
I have 109 francs and 15 sous
I earned for 19 years of labor.
I'm tired...
and hungry.
Can I stay?
Mrs. Magloire,
set another place.
What?
Didn't you hear what I said?
I'm a convict
just out of prison!
Ever see this paper?
Can you read?
"Nineteen years of hard labor.
This man is very dangerous."
You hear that?
I'm very dangerous!
Mrs. Magloire, make up the bed
in the alcove with fresh sheets.
Sir, we're just about
to have supper.
Your bed will be made up
while you eat.
You're letting me stay?
A bed...
with a mattress and sheets
It's been 19 years
since I slept in a bed.
You invite me to supper
and call me "sir"?
Just who are you?
Set your things down, my friend.
Mrs. Magloire,
this lamp doesn't give much light.
Do be seated.
There seems to be something
missing from this table.
I'll show you to your room.
Good night.
Say, are you crazy?
Putting me next door to you?
A criminal?
How do you know
I'm not a murderer?
That's the Lord's concern.
