Both Valjean and Cosette finally make it to Paris where they start a new life together as father and daughter. Valjean eventually finds and rescues Cosette at the Thénardiers, the corrupt innkeepers who were supposed to care for her, but were actually abusing and enslaving her. Angry, Valjean beats and knocks out Javert and he escapes and flees the community. Javert arrives at Valjean's home to arrest both him and Fantine, and Fantine dies suddenly from shock and illness. Before she dies, Valjean promises Fantine that he will raise her young eight-year-old daughter, as his own. Valjean then returns home and finds Fantine deathly ill. Valjean arrives at court where the man is being tried and reveals his identity that he is the real Valjean. Later, Valjean receives word that another man (John McGlynn) is mistaken as being him and is about to be rearrested. However, the Thenardiers continue to extort more money from Valjean and Fantine on accounts of Fantine's daughter being ill. Valjean nurses Fantine back, and promises Fantine that she will have her daughter back. Valjean insists on her release and she is let go. Fantine is attacked by some customers, and when she retaliates, Javert beats and arrests her. Javert starts to suspect that the Mayor and Valjean are the same person. Fantine, in desperate need of money to pay the extortionate demands of the Thénardiers for looking after her daughter Cosette, turns to prostitution. Valjean is too preoccupied with the arrival of Inspector Javert (Geoffrey Rush), who previously served as a guard at the prison Valjean was held in. Fantine is fired from the factory when her manager learns she has had a daughter out of wedlock. Fantine (Uma Thurman) is a single mother working at Valjean's factory. Nine years later, Valjean is now a wealthy industrialist and a mayor. Myriel then reminds Valjean that he is to become a new man. When the police arrest Valjean, Myriel tells them that the silverware was a gift and scolds Valjean for failing to take his candlesticks as well. In the night, Valjean, interrupted by Myriel while stealing his silverware, strikes him and flees.
Valjean explains to Myriel that sleeping in a real bed will make him a new man.
When no one is willing to allow a convict to stay the night, Bishop Myriel kindly welcomes him into his home. Jean Valjean (Liam Neeson), a man arrested for stealing bread nineteen years previously, is released on parole.
