Jarvis Lorry, an employee of Tellson's Bank, was sent to find Dr. Manette, an unjustly imprisoned doctor, in Paris and bring him back to England. Lucie, Manette's daughter who thought that he was dead, accompanied Mr. Lorry. When arriving at Defarge's wine shop in Paris, they found Mr. Manette in a dreadful state and took him back to London with them. Mr. Manette could not remember when or why he had been imprisoned. He was in a state of post traumatic stress. All the years of imprisonment led to his insanity.

Carton arrived in Paris and heard a plot by Defarge to also kill Lucie and Dr. Darney, since he traveled back and forth between countries was a perfect suspect for treason. Knowing that their relationship was hopeless, he stated that he would sacrifice himself for her or anyone she loved in an emotional conversation. Manette managed to get Darnay released after a year, yet he was re-jailed the same day by Madame Defarge because his family, the Evremondes, had previously killed off her family.
