Confrontation
 Javert:Valjean, at last,
 We see each other plain
 `M'sieur le Mayor',
 You'll wear a different chain.
 Valjean:Before you say another word, Javert
 Before you chain me up like a slave again
 Listen to me! There is something I must do.
 This woman leaves behind a suffering child.
 There is none but me who can intercede,
 In Mercy's name, three days are all I need.
 Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
 Then I'll return...
 Javert: You must think me mad!
 I've hunted you across the years
 A man like you can never change
 A man... such as you...
 Believe of me what you will -Men like me can never change
 There is a duty that I'm sworn -Men like you can never change
 You know nothing of my life-No, 24601
 All I did was steal some bread-My duty's to the law
 You know nothing of the world -You have no rights
 You would sooner see me dead-Come with me 24601
 But not before I see this justice done -Now the wheel has turned around, Jean Valjean is nothing now
 I am warning you Javert -Dare you talk to me of crime
 I'm a stronger man by far -And the price you had to pay
 There is power in me yet-Every man is born in sin
 My race is not yet run-Every man must choose his way
 I am warning you Javert-You know nothing of Javert
 There is nothing I won't dare-I was born inside a jail
 If I have to kill you here -I was born with scum like you
 I'll do what must be done-I am from the gutter too!
 Valjean :And this I swear to you tonight
 Javert: There is no place for you to hide
 Valjean: Your child will live within my care (to Fatine)
 Javert: Whereever you may hide away
 Valjean: And I will raise her to the light.
 Valjean & Javert: I swear to you, I will be there!
