Valjean is caught and brought back by police, and is astonished when the Bishop lies to the police to save him and also gives him two precious candlesticks. Valjean is shocked when the Bishop says he gave him the silver, then giving him more, telling him to use it to do something worthwhile with his life. Valjean breaks his parole to start a new life.
