Javert's Suicide
[00:00.00] VALJEAN
[00:00.71] It's you, Javert!
[00:01.63] I knew you wouldn't wait too long
[00:03.49] The faithful servant at his post once more!
[00:05.82] This man's done no wrong,
[00:07.33] And he needs a doctor's care.
[00:08.79] JAVERT
[00:11.35] I warned you I would not give in
[00:13.97] I won't be swayed
[00:15.07] VALJEAN
[00:15.32] Another hour yet
[00:16.48] And then I'm yours
[00:17.89] And all our debts are paid.
[00:19.91] JAVERT
[00:22.36] The man of mercy comes again
[00:25.19] And talks of justice
[00:26.40] JAVERT
[00:26.66] Come, time is running short
[00:29.52] Look down, Javert
[00:32.00] He's standing in his grave
[00:34.86] Give way, Javert -Take him Valjean,
[00:37.86] There is a life to save. -Before I change my mind
[00:40.83] JAVERT
[00:41.08] I will be waiting
[00:42.66] 24601.
[00:47.12] (Valjean carries Marius off)
[00:54.69] JAVERT
[00:59.48] Who is this man?
[01:00.13] What sort of devil is he
[01:01.34] To have me caught in a trap
[01:02.51] And choose to let me go free?
[01:03.96] It was his hour at last
[01:05.12] To put a seal on my fate
[01:06.68] Wipe out the past
[01:07.58] And wash me clean off the slate!
[01:09.34] All it would take
[01:10.20] Was a flick of his knife.
[01:11.81] Vengeance was his
[01:12.65] And he gave me back my life!
[01:17.13] Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!
[01:19.60] Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase.
[01:22.11] I am the Law and the Law is not mocked
[01:24.38] I'll spit his pity right back in his face
[01:26.57] There is nothing on earth that we share
[01:29.14] It is either Valjean or Javert!
[01:44.94] How can I now allow this man
[01:49.68] To hold dominion over me?
[01:54.62] This desperate man whom I have hunted
[01:58.54] He gave me my life. He gave me freedom.
[02:04.13] I should have perished by his hand
[02:08.94] It was his right.
[02:13.32] It was my right to die as well
[02:17.81] Instead I live... but live in hell.
[02:22.48] And my thoughts fly apart
[02:26.11] Can this man be believed?
[02:29.94] Shall his sins be forgiven?
[02:33.56] Shall his crimes be reprieved?
[02:44.10] And must I now begin to doubt,
[02:48.17] Who never doubted all these years?
[02:52.34] My heart is stone and still it trembles
[02:55.97] The world I have known is lost in shadow.
[03:00.49] Is he from heaven or from hell?
[03:04.42] And does he know
[03:08.63] That granting me my life today
[03:13.42] This man has killed me even so?
[03:23.70] I am reaching, but I fall
[03:29.79] And the stars are black and cold
[03:34.11] As I stare into the void
[03:37.57] Of a world that cannot hold
[03:41.45] I'll escape now from the world
[03:44.22] From the world of Jean Valjean.
[03:47.14] There is nowhere I can turn
[03:49.74] There is no way to go on....
[03:54.22] (He throws himself into the swollen river)
