By Christ you'll pay for what you've done
I guarantee, I'll make you suffer
[FANTINE]
I beg you, don't report me sir
I'll do whatever you may want
[BAMATABOIS]
Make your excuse to the police!
[Javert enters, accompanied by constables]
[JAVERT]
Tell me quickly what's the story
Who saw what and why and where
Let him give a full description
Let him answer to Javert!
[BAMATABOIS]
Javert, would you believe it
I was crossing from the park
When this prostitute attacked me
You can see she left her mark
[JAVERT]
She will answer for her actions
If you make a full report
You may rest assured, M'sieur,
That she will answer to the court.
[FANTINE]
There's a child who sorely needs me
Please M'sieur, she's but that high
Holy God, is there no mercy?
If I go to jail she'll die!
[JAVERT]
I have heard such protestations
Every day for twenty years
Let's have no more explanations
Save your breath and save your tears
`Honest work, just reward,
That's the way to please the Lord.'
[Fantine gives a last despairing cry as she is arrested by the constables. Valjean emerges from the crowd]
[VALJEAN]
A moment of your time, Javert
I do believe this woman's tale
[JAVERT]
[VALJEAN]
You've done your duty, let her be
She needs a doctor, not a jail.
[JAVERT]
But M'sieur Mayor!
[FANTINE]
Can this be?
[VALJEAN]
Where will she end -
This child without a friend?
I've seen your face before
Show me some way to help you
How have you come to grief
In a place such as this?
[FANTINE]
M'sieur, don't mock me now, I pray
It's hard enough I've lost my pride
You let your foreman send me away
Yes, you were there, and turned aside
I never did no wrong
[VALJEAN]
Is it true, what I have done?
[FANTINE]
My daughter's close to dying...
[VALJEAN]
To an innocent soul?
[FANTINE]
If there's a God above
[VALJEAN]
Had I only known then...
[FANTINE]
He'd let me die instead
[VALJEAN]
In His name my task has just begun
I will see it done!
[JAVERT]
But M'sieur Mayor!
[VALJEAN]
I will see it done!
[JAVERT]
But M'sieur Mayor!
[VALJEAN]
I will see it done!
[VOICES]
Look out! It's a runaway cart!
