This fifth part speaks of a man who does not know how he is making a lot of money; Your name: Monsieur Madeleine. This man is actually Jean Valjean, has undergone a very important change in his life and has been doing business and investing. Here appears a man (Javert) who thinks he knows the true identity of Monsieur Madeleine; Realizes that it is Jean Valjean, but he has no way to prove it, so he summons a trial in which Valjean, seeing that he has no escape and to fix everything at once, confesses his true identity before the whole assembly.
