Chapter 1-15 (p.g. 303-462)
The French Revolution breaks out in all its fury with the storming of the Bastille, which was lead by Monsieur Defarge.
Charles come back to France from England, but he finds that things are very different from when he left. As he gets closer to Paris, Charles start to be concerned as prisoner, though he has done nothing, and soldiers take him to Monsieur Defarge. Charles asks Defarge for help but he refuses, and Defarge secretly jails Charles.
The King and Queen of France are headed by guillotine, and as time goes by, they cannot seem to get Charles freed. After a while, Carton tells to Mr. Lorry that is Charles is found guilty, he will smuggle into Charles's cell, and Carton tell Lorry not to tell Lucie about the plan. Carton visits a pharmacy and buy mysterious packet of drugs that the chemist warns. During Charles's trial, the court was in chaos, because they have found a letter hidden in the chimney, which was at Dr. Manette's old cell.
As the crowd celebrates Charles's conviction in the streets, John Barsad, who is taking Charles back to his jail, he lets Lucie meet her husband for the last time. Charles says farewell and asks her to kiss their daughter. Lucie faints, and her daughter begs Carton for help. He hugs her, and before he leaves, he kisses unconscious Lucie and whisphers, "A life you love." Then he says farewell, blesses Lucie, and leaves.
In the prison, Charles was waiting for his execution date. Charles writes a final letter to Lucie. Suddenly John Barsad opens the jail door and lets in Carton. Carton tells Charles to change his clothes with him. Then Carton waves the packet of drugs under his nose, and Charles passes out. Barsad carries Charles, now disguised as Carton, back to Mr. Lorry. One of a young woman, which is also innocent prisoner, realizes that he is not Charles, and she askes, "Are you dying for him?" "And his wife and child," Carton replies.
Charles and his family flees back to England while Carton sacrifices his life for him. Three carts rumble through the Paris streets carrying the prisoners to the guillotine. There were full of spectators to see Charles Darnay. The young woman is going to beheaded before Carton. When her time comes, they kiss, and she goes to the guillotine. After her execution, it's Carton's turn. He says "I am the resurrection and the life." Carton stands on the platform, and the guillotine crashes down on his head.
