VOICES]
Look at that!
Look at that!
It´s Monsieur Fauchelevant!
Don´t approach! Don´t go near!
At the risk of your life!
He is caught by the wheel!
Oh, the pitiful man!
Stay away, Turn away!
There is nothing to do!
There is nothing to do!

[VALJEAN]
Is there anyone here
Who will rescue the man?
Who will help me to shoulder
The weight of the cart?

[VOICES]
Don´t go near him, Mr. Mayor
The load is heavy as hell
The old man´s a goner for sure
It´ll kill you as well.

[Valjean attempts to lift the cart... but fails. He tries again. They manage to pull Fauchelevant clear]

[FAUCHELEVANT]
M´sieur le Mayor, I have no words
You come from God, you are a saint.

[Javert takes Valjean aside]

[JAVERT]
Can this be true?
I don´t believe what I see!
A man your age
To be as strong as you are!
A mem´ry stirs...
You make me think of a man
From years ago
A man who broke his parole
He disappeared
Forgive me, Sir,
I would not dare!

[VALJEAN]
Say what you must
Don´t leave it there...

[JAVERT]
I have only known one other
Who can do what you have done
He´s a convict from the chain gang
He´s been ten years on the run
But he couldn´t run forever
We have found his hideaway
And he´s just been re-arrested
And he comes to court today.
Well, of course he now denies it
You´d expect that of a `con´
But he couldn´t run forever -
No, not even Jean Valjean!

[VALJEAN]
You say this man denies it all
And gives no sign of understanding or repentance?
You say this man is going to trial
And that´s he´s sure to be returned
To serve his sentence?
Come to that, can you be sure,
That I am not your man?

[JAVERT]
I have known the thief for ages
Tracked him down through thick and thin
And to make the matter certain
There´s the brand upon his skin
He will bend, he will break
This time there is no mistake.
