JUDEX CREDERIS
The judge is believed to be coming

KIRIE ELEISON
Lord, have mercy

I will give you this opportunity to recant and save yourself.
I will offer you a chance to take back your words and save your life.

Think of what I′ve offered. What is your answer?
Consider the consequences of rejecting my offer. What will you choose?

ESMERALDA: (Spits in Frollo's face)
Esmeralda shows her defiance towards Frollo by disrespecting him openly.

LIBERA ME DOMINE
Free me, Lord

For the justice of the realm And for the salvation of Paris, It is my sacred duty to send this unholy demon back to hell!
In order to maintain justice in the land and protect Paris, it is my duty to condemn this unholy creature to damnation.

QUASIMODO: Esmeralda!
Quasimodo calls out to Esmeralda in distress.

LIBERA ME DOMINE DE MORTE AETERNA
Free me, Lord, from eternal death

And at that moment, Quasimodo decided... He could remain still no longer...
In that instant, Quasimodo resolved that he could no longer stay passive and still

He broke free of the ropes...
He escaped from the bindings that restrained him.

That were tied to the pillars...
Which were fastened to the columns

He slid down the facade like a drop of rain and climbed to the balustrade.
He descended from the front of the building as if he were water falling and ascended to the railing.

SALUTARIS SALUTARIS HOSTIA QUAE CAELI PANDIS OSTIUM BELLA PREMUNT HOSTILIA DA ROBUR FER AUXILIUM SIT SEMPITERNA GLORIA SIT SEMPITERNA GLORIA SIT SEMPITERNA GLORIA GLORIA GLORIA SEMPER SANCTUS
Sacred Sacred offering That opens heaven's gate Wars press upon us Give strength and support May there be Eternal glory May there be Eternal glory May there be Eternal glory Glory Glory Forever Holy

QUASIMODO: Sanctuary!
Quasimodo seeks refuge and protection in the cathedral.

CONGREGATION: Quasimodo set the girl down in the belltower and went to bar the great doors of Notre Dame cathedral so that no one could get in.
Quasimodo gently placed the girl in the belltower and then went to secure the entrance of the cathedral to prevent anyone from entering.

FROLLO: Captain, seize the cathedral!
Frollo orders the captain to take control of the cathedral.

FREDERICK: But sir, the laws of sanctuary!
Frederick reminds Frollo of the laws that protect those seeking sanctuary in religious buildings.

FROLLO: I am the archdeacon of this cathedral, I negate the laws of sanctuary! Open those doors!
Frollo asserts his authority as the archdeacon and disregards the laws of sanctuary. He demands that the doors be opened.

FREDERICK: Open those doors! Throw them down if you must!
Frederick follows Frollo's orders and commands his soldiers to forcefully open the doors, even if they have to destroy them.

As the soldiers attempted to throw open the church doors, they suddenly saw Quasimodo hurl giant stones and wooden beams.
While the soldiers tried to open the doors, they were startled by Quasimodo throwing massive stones and beams at them.

DIES IRAE FROLLO: Fools! Break down the doors!
Day of wrath Frollo angrily orders the soldiers to destroy the doors.

CAPTAIN PHOEBUS: They must not be allowed to enter!
Captain Phoebus realizes the importance of preventing the soldiers from entering the cathedral.

The people fought the soldiers But could not hold them back. The soldiers heaved and hurled, until at last, With one final blow, They knocked down the doors.
The townspeople attempted to resist the soldiers, but were overwhelmed. The soldiers eventually broke through the doors with a final strike.

And Quasimodo (seeing their invasion) ran back and forth (MORS STUPEBIT ET NATURA) Trying to find a way to stop them. (CUM RESURGET CREATURA)
Quasimodo, witness to their intrusion, frantically searched for a means to halt them. When the creature rises

Until, He came across the great vat of molten lead sitting up on the roof. (JUDICANTI RESPONSURA__)
Until, He discovered the massive container filled with molten lead sitting on the roof (ready to respond)

SOLDIER: My god, look up there! He′s way up there!
SOLDIER: My god, look up! He's high above!

COME ALL YOU SAINTS OF STONE ALL YOU GUARDIANS AND GARGOYLES HURL DOWN STONES INTO THE NIGHT THROW THE LADDERS DOWN AND LIGHT THESE VATS OF LEAD STEAMING, BOILING STREAMS OF LEAD BURNING LEAD AND LET THE FLAMES GROW HIGHER OH, SAINTS AND MONSTERS SHOW YOUR POWER HELP ME TO SEND THIS RAGING SHOWER RAINING FIRE ON THE STONE BELOW...!
All you stone saints All you protectors and gargoyles Throw down stones Into the darkness Lower the ladders Down and ignite These containers of molten lead Steaming, boiling Streams of lead Burning lead And let the Flames rise higher Oh, saints and monsters Demonstrate your power Assist me in sending this Fiery deluge Raining fire Upon the stone Below...!

QUASIMODO: We've done it, Esmeralda! Beaten them back! -Esmeralda? -You are home.
QUASIMODO: We've succeeded, Esmeralda! We have defeated them! -Esmeralda? -You are safe now.

ESMERALDA: Home? HERE AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD TWO FRIENDS ENJOYING THIS BEAUTIFUL MORNING IN MY EYES YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, TOO SHARING THE TOP OF THE WORLD

QUASIMODO: Yes, your friend... -Esmeralda? -Esmeralda, wake up!

FROLLO: Is she dead? QUASIMODO: Because of you! FROLLO: It was my duty. QUASIMODO: Duty?
FROLLO: Is she deceased? QUASIMODO: Because of you! FROLLO: It was my responsibility. QUASIMODO: Responsibility?

FROLLO: Now we can finally go back to the way things were. QUASIMODO: No! FROLLO: We will. You'll see...
FROLLO: Now we can return to the way things were before. QUASIMODO: No! FROLLO: We will. You will witness...

AT LAST WE'RE FREE OF ESMERALDA NOW THAT SHE'S GONE HER POISON DIES WITH HER NOW THAT WE'RE FREE OF ESMERALDA WE CAN GO ON AS CLOSE AS ONCE WE WERE HERE IN OUR SANCTUARY SANCTUARY...
AT LAST WE'RE FREE FROM ESMERALDA NOW THAT SHE'S DEPARTED HER CORRUPTION PERISHES WITH HER NOW THAT WE'RE FREE FROM ESMERALDA WE CAN CONTINUE AS CLOSE AS ONCE WE WERE HERE IN OUR PLACE OF SAFETY PLACE OF SAFETY...

QUASIMODO: Sanctuary? No sanctuary without her!
QUASIMODO: Sanctuary? There is no sanctuary without her!

FROLLO: It was her choice, Quasimodo. I could have helped her. Even loved her. QUASIMODO: Love? What do you know of love? Who have you ever loved? FROLLO: I—I loved my brother. I tried to teach him. QUASIMODO: You? Teach him?
FROLLO: It was her decision, Quasimodo. I could have assisted her. I even felt love for her. QUASIMODO: Love? What do you understand about love? Who have you ever loved? FROLLO: I—I loved my brother. I attempted to guide him. QUASIMODO: You? Guide him?

FROLLO: Yes, as I tried to teach you! But he was wicked and weak! QUASIMODO: He? You are the weak one. You're the wicked one! And the wicked shall not go unpunished!
FROLLO: Yes, just as I tried to teach you! But he was evil and feeble! QUASIMODO: Him? You are the feeble one. You're the evil one! And the evil shall not go unpunished!

THE WICKED SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED THE HEART OF THE WICKED IS OF LITTLE WORTH
THE EVIL SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED THE INNER BEING OF THE EVIL IS MINIMAL IN VALUE

FROLLO: Let go of me! Quasimodo, no, don′t! THE WICKED SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED
FROLLO: Release me! Quasimodo, no, don't! THE EVIL SHALL NOT GO UNPUNISHED

SOLVET SAECULUM IN FAVILLA TESTE DAVID CUM SYBILLA QUANTUS TREMOR EST FUTURUS QUANDO JUDEX EST VENTURUS
The world will be consumed by fire As witnessed by David and the Sibyl How great is the trembling When the judge is to come

QUASIMODO: I told you, master. I am very strong! FROLLO: You don't want to hurt me!
QUASIMODO: I warned you, master. I possess great strength! FROLLO: You don't desire to harm me!

CONGREGATION: Yes, you do.
CONGREGATION: Yes, you do.

-Quasimodo raised his two huge hands and, -With a great bellow, threw his master -Over the edge of the roof -Into the abyss below.
-Quasimodo raised his two enormous hands and, -With a powerful roar, hurled his master -Over the edge of the roof -Into the endless chasm below.

FROLLO: Damnation...! QUASIMODO: There lies all that I have ever loved.

PHOEBUS: Esmeralda? QUASIMODO: Gone... gone... PHOEBUS: No...
