Jekyll & Hyde (2015): Season 1, Episode 3 - The Cutter - full transcript

Be careful with that.

It's rather fragile.

Be careful with that,

my man, it's delicate,
don't you know.

It's my lovely
bone china tea set

wot I've brought back
all the way from Ceylon.

We had a hundred servants,
don't you know.

Stand aside!

Right.

Let's get to work, shall we?

Ladies and gentlemen,
the one and only



Maggie Kendall!

Ah!

For God's sake, Garson,
stop that damned whistling.

You're getting on my nerves.

It's him, innit?

Hyde.

Wants to come out and play.

I'm fighting it, Garson.

I'm just so tired all the time.

You're the only one
who can help me.

How did my grandfather do it?

Picking up where he left off?

No.

Garson, now, you have
to believe me.



I'm not like him.

Yeah, maybe.

Please.

I need to know.

How exactly did
Henry Jekyll change?

One potion to turn into Hyde,

another to turn
back into Jekyll.

All right, all right, so...

So it was the potion?

It was the potion that brought
about his transformation?

What else do you think it'd be?

Well then, why does
it happen to me?

I mean, I've taken nothing.

Look, the only drugs

I've ever taken
are the pills that my fath...

...are the ones that
Dr. Najaran made for me.

And I see now they were
to keep Hyde away.

So why don't you use them?

Somebody stole them.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, you're
stuffed, then, aren't you?

All right then.

If you don't want to help me,
then get out!

And don't come back!

I would if I had
anywhere else to go.

Still got it, boy.

Garson!

Garson, are you all right?

You do care about me after all.

Always wondered
what your grandfather

kept in here.

Not a lot.

I am sorry, Garson.

I'm just so scared.

Scared of what's inside me,

what's going to happen to me.

And why I'm like this at all.

I'm not the one to ask.

I need to find my family...
My real family.

Someone who can tell me
about my father.

If he was like me.

But I can't do anything until
I can control Hyde.

Look, boy.

Just maybe you didn't ask

for what you've got.

But even if I wanted
to help you, I can't.

To recreate your grandfather's
potion, you need one

very special ingredient.

And there's none here.

What is it?

Oil of monocane.

The oil is diluted
in the green solution

to one part in 10,000.

All that matters

is that it will effect a change
from Hyde into Jekyll.

And this...

will do the opposite.

Goodbye Jekyll,

hello Hyde.

And the black?

There is enough monocane in here
to separate his atoms.

It does need
to be tested, though.

What is this?

It was in the safe.

The original plan
of the laboratory,

but it don't seem to match up

with the layout here.

Here, could there
be another room?

Maybe bricked off?

Wouldn't surprise me.

Jekyll loved
to keep his secrets.

Even from me.

How much did you know?

Too much.

Do you know anything
about my father, Garson?

No.

It looks like there
should be something

the other side of this.

Look.

Oh, forget it.

That's not going to move.

What do you think's behind this?

Clairvoyant, am I?

What are they?

Seems he didn't destroy it all.

Could they really
be his old potions?

Red for Hyde.

Green for Jekyll.

Monocane is an extraordinarily

powerful substance.

And were I to fire this
into you, Silas,

we'd have to keep your remains

in a fishbowl.

What have I done wrong?
I told you

to make sure nobody could
connect Jekyll to his past.

I explained... Ah, ah, ah, ah.

You'll have your say
in a minute.

Yes, Captain Dance, sir.

If I'd have thought
it would be difficult,

I would have told you to wait
and done it myself.

But I thought,

"No, what could possibly
go wrong?"

I mean, all you had to do was
kill a 70-year-old man.

68.

I won't accept failure, Silas.

Wait, wait, wait... Captain
Dance, sir, it weren't my fault.

Then whose fault was it?

Hyde turned up.

Well, you know yourself, sir,
how powerful he is.

So you're saying it's my fault?

No, no, no, no,

Captain Dance, sir.

You.

Tell me, whose fault was it?

Who should I shoot today?

Well it weren't my fault,
Captain Dance, sir.

I did the best I could,
to be honest.

But I weren't the one
in charge, was I?

I wasn't the one
giving the orders.

We all did what Silas told us.

So if anyone's to blame,
it should be him.

There's no denying

you failed in your task, Silas.

I'm going to give you
one more chance.

I need you to do
another job for me.

Thank you, Captain Dance, sir.

But somebody has to pay.

You.

You've shown disloyalty
to your boss.

And we can't have disloyalty.

No!

No, no, no, no.

You're fired.

50 years it's been
sitting there.

It's unstable, it's poisonous.
I know,

but what if we could extract
the monocane we need from this,

make a fresh potion?

Shut this place down, walk away.

And then what?

What do you think
would happen to me?

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

I'd become like him.

I'd become a monster.

Walk away.

Now.

Why won't you help me?

You helped my grandfather.

Well, there's one way
to test this.

Not on my watch.

Expecting someone?

I'm so glad Robert
has some help here.

I was worried about him
rattling around the house

like a lost child.

I mean...

Oh my goodness...
Have I put my foot in it?

You're going to tell me you're
his rich uncle, aren't you?

No, I'm... I'm not his...
yes, I'm his help.

I just wanted to be sure
he was all right.

He's not well.

He's not very well at all.

Excuse me for a moment.

Hey!

I can't hold it any more,
Garson.

Keep it down...
There's a girl up here.

Lily something.

Says she knows you.

Lily Clarke?

Yes, I do know her.

And I'd like to know her better.

So what shall I do?

Shall I go up there?

Send her screaming
down the street?

Look at me!

I can't do anything
while Hyde's still a threat.

I'll get rid of her then.

Hey, hey.

Just give me the potion.

No.

Kill or cure.

I can't live like this.

I'll go insane.

Hello?

Robert?

He's really in no fit state

to see you now.

I heard...

I don't know what I heard.

A slight argument
with some of the equipment.

Can I help?

Best if you leave.

I can't take it anymore, Garson!

Now it is kill or cure.

There is work to be done, Silas.

More people to be killed.

Yes, I thought that would put

the smile back
on your ugly face.

She's just a helpless
little old lady,

but don't worry, you'll
have some help this time.

Does that mean we can take
your monocane darts?

They'd be very handy.

Oh, no, they're far too precious

for the likes of you, Silas.

I had in mind
something rather different.

It's been like this
all day, sir.

It's the Harbinger
stirring them up.

Oh, do be quiet!

He really is a swine.

Spare us the cutter!

The day of blood and thunder
is coming.

They know there's going to be
a big party.

The sooner we get them moved
the better.

Moved?

We need the cells
for the new arrivals.

The day of blood and
thunder is indeed coming.

Right, how are you
getting on with

Jekyll's pills, Brannigan?

It's proving rather hard
to separate the different

chemicals in it.

Dr. Najaran knew his business.

Are you saying he was
too clever for you?

No one's too clever for me, sir.

You've cracked it?

What is it?

It is what makes
Jekyll tick and Hyde tock.

Monocane.

From a flower, the Asura lily,
that only grows

in the Himalayas.

Unfortunately, Tenebrae
have cornered the market,

and we have used up our supply.

In small doses
it is catnip to them.

It boosts their powers.

And in large doses?

Monsters are very hard
to kill, Mr. Sackler.

You can try silver bullets
or stakes through the heart,

garlic, henbane, or holy water.

But if you really want

to put a monster down
and keep him down,

that...

...in this.

Monocane.

Just in from Ceylon, sir.

Bad news I'm afraid.

Robert Jekyll's half brother,
Ravi, he's escaped.

Name?

Anil Chadha, sir.

Where are you going today, Anil?

I'm going to visit my aunt

in Colombo.

Is there a problem?

What's in the satchel, Anil?

Nothing... papers.

Mind if we take a look?

I will miss my train.

All the same, we'd very much
like to see what's...

Herath Banda salutes you.

His debt to you is paid.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Is that her?

Yes.

Monty Charming's
little girl, Bella.

All grown up.

Should we kill her?

Not yet.

We don't want to spook Jekyll.

Right now

he knows nothing,
suspects nothing.

But if he finds his grandmother?

Ah, well, that would
make things difficult.

We need to find her
before he does.

And kill her?

We need to find her
before he does.

Always.

We need to deal with Jekyll
before he knows the whole truth.

And as soon as we've done what

we need to with him,

And as soon as we've done what

as you wish.

You know the way
to a woman's heart.

Yes, I do.

Here.

Thank you.

Thought we might have lost you.

Disappointed?

No, I believe you now.

You're not like
your grandfather at all.

You're trying to
control your Hyde.

I'm glad one person understands.

You want to know
about your father?

There were some things

I didn't want to tell you.

I needed to protect someone.

Who?

A girl.

A singer at the old Empire.

She was young, beautiful

And, uh...

So full of life.

You loved her.

Everybody loved Maggie.

Including Dr. Jekyll.

Only he wouldn't
ruin his reputation.

But as Hyde he could
do as he liked.

He went after her

until he got what he wanted.

Set her up in a flat in Soho.

I thought I'd never
see her again.

But you did?

Shortly after,
Jekyll poisoned himself.

Me and his lawyer,

Gabriel Utterson, were
tidying up his affairs.

Answer it, man.

Maggie, look at you.

Are you all right?

My dear, whatever's the matter?

The matter?

I want to know he's gone.

Dr. Jekyll?

Yes, he's passed away,
I'm afraid.

I'm his lawyer.

And, and... and the other one?

Hyde?

They're both really gone?

You know of Hyde?

Know of him?

Aye.

Oh, I know of him, all right.

What he was.

Him and Jekyll.

And I have something

that belongs to him.

It's all he left me with.

What do you mean?

My baby, Louie.

This had better be
important, Robert,

and not more fairy tales about
magical transformations.

Everything Garson
told you is true, Max.

And your father believed it.

If he did, he never
breathed a word.

Why do you think he
was trying to burn

all my grandfather's papers
when he died?

He spent his life
trying to cover

the whole thing up
to preserve the good name

of Dr. Jekyll.

I do not believe
in the supernatural.

I cannot.

I'm a lawyer...
I deal with facts.

Well then, here's
a fact for you.

Garson knew my grandmother...

Maggie Kendall.

Maggie Kendall?

Hils?

The singer
at the Empire Music Hall.

We have a name.

Maggie Kendall.

I need you to find
the person it belongs to.

The game is afoot, as they say.

I'll get my pipe
and deer stalker.

Just don't listen to Robert

if he starts giving you

any ackamarackus
about shape-shifters,

ghouls, and demons.

I do love horror films,
don't you?

About poor, misunderstood
creatures persecuted

by small-minded people.

So sad.

They always make me cry.

I don't want to risk
being seen with you.

I need to get back to HQ.

You'll miss the best bit.

Everyone is about to get killed.

I am sorry about yesterday.

Robert...

Please, Lily, I need
to get this out.

Without my pills, my condition

has worsened.

Now I may have a way
to make some more,

but until then,
until I know I'm not

a danger to those around me...

I can't see you.

Robert, I can help you.

Please, Lily,
I've made my decision.

Would you shut up
for one minute?

If you'd only let me speak.

You're not the only
one with secrets.

What is all this?

I don't understand.

That's because you're
so wrapped up in

your own problems
you never listen.

But you...

I had a life before I had to go

and bring mother
home from Ceylon.

I was studying biochemistry
at Cambridge.

I dreamed of becoming
a scientist.

And I know it's not much,

but I couldn't just
let it all go.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I thought you'd laugh.

I didn't even have
a project to work on.

But don't you see, Robert?

You could be my project.

I could help control
your condition.

Do you know anything
about hormones?

Hormones.

From the Greek hormao
meaning "I excite."

Clever little chemicals that
control everything we do.

They tell us when to go to sleep

and when to wake up,

and when to eat, when to fight,

when to run,

and when to fall in love.

Miss Isabella Charming?

Most people just call me Bella.

Most people just call me Hils.

What do you want, Hils?

As a rule I don't
talk to strangers.

I'm writing a book about
the Victorian music halls.

I know this place
used to be one.

In my granddad's day.

I'm researching the life

of Maggie Kendall.

She used to sing here.

And dance.

Do you like to dance?

Well,

I like Scottish country dancing.

That was jolly.

You're not writing a book.

Am.

Let me guess.

You work for Mr. Utterson.

You a drinker?

Well...

I quite like dandelion
and burdock.

Drink up.

This is about that
crazy boy, isn't it?

And I want some answers,

"Hils."

Where's Garson?

Garson? The other night.

Garson's in trouble,
that boy goes after him

like a bat out of hell,
and that's the last I see

of either of them.
What's going on?

I just want to
track down Maggie Kendall.

That's not her name no more.

Oh?

She changed it.

Went into hiding.

What did she change it to?

As I say, I don't
talk to strangers.

And you are a very strange one.

Where is Garson?

I'm going spare with worry.

He's my right arm.

Been here since
my granddad's time.

Did your grandfather
ever talk about Maggie?

Don't talk to strangers.

Good rule.

If something's
happened to Garson...

if that boy has harmed him
in any way...

I'd best be pressing on.

Thanks for the drink...
I rather enjoyed it.

And thanks for your help.

You don't get me like that.

I didn't tell you nothing.

You don't talk to strangers.

Worst luck.

But you squeezed me
like a lemon.

Garson's fine, Bella.

He's with the boy.

He wants to come back and see

his Empress as soon
as it's safe.

Hope.

Maggie changed

her name to Hope.

She's down in Kent somewhere.

What did you tell her, boy?

The truth.

Well, half the truth.

That my grandfather
suffered from

a condition that I've inherited.

That if his body was ever
flooded by hormones...

He turned into a monster.

Well, that's the part
I didn't tell her.

There isn't any other part.

I just said that
he became irrational...

Confused, headaches,
violent outbursts,

but he had his medicine
to control it.

I still think you're
crazy working with her.

If we can separate
the elements in this,

extract the monocane,
we might be able

to make a safer solution.

And in the meantime,
what about Hyde?

Well, if I'm careful.

If I avoid any excitement,
anger, pain, fear...

Desire.

At the first sign of Hyde,

I will drink a pint of this.

Hope.

Ah!

We'll have an MIO escort
as far as the edge of London.

But after that,
we'll be on our own.

Fedora and I shall
start off here.

Careful!

He's heavily sedated,
but still dangerous.

Well done.

Sergeant Kelly, good luck.

London, please.

Do you need a hand with that?

Get out!

Move.

I don't want

to get into another argument,

so I think it's best
for the sake of our health

if there's no more talk about...

him. Yes.

And no more talk

about monsters.

But what about Maggie...
Is she all right?

She's alive... that's all I know.

You found her?

Get your coat, Robert.

We're going to
meet your grandmother.

Not without me, you're not.

Good shooting country.

What I'd give for
a dog and a gun

and a brace of crested duck
rising into the sky.

Go easy with that.

She won't want to
open the door to Hyde.

She might not be too keen

on the Jekyll either.

Are you lost?

Mrs. Hope, Margaret Hope?

Who are you?

My name's Max Utterson.

I believe you knew my father,

Gabriel Utterson.

I don't know what you want,
or who you think I am.

I think you're Margaret Hope,
formerly Maggie Kendall,

star of the Empire Music Hall.

You've made a mistake.

Now please leave.

No mistake, Maggie.

I recognize you,

even after all these years.

It's me... Garson.

Go, now.

Before I call the police.

Please, please.

I'm...

I'm Robert Jekyll.

Your grandson.

I'm not who you think I am.

Hello?

Who's this?

Well something tells me
they're not from

the gas board.

Here, round the back, quick.

I have no idea what's going on,

but it's rather
a hoot, isn't it?

Smashing windows
and dodging bullets.

Ah, that's the ticket!

Hello?

Operator?

Hello?

They'll have cut the line.

What's going on?

Our past's catching up
with us, Maggie.

Margaret!

It's Margaret Hope.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and I'm Charlie Chaplin.

Whoops!

Hold up, lads.

Hyde's beaten us here.

This time we don't
take any risks.

Get him out.

Alfie?

There you come...
There's the way.

Go and get 'em, boy!

You've got to trust us, Maggie;
we've got to get out of here.

Come on.

Are you really him?

Are you Louis' boy?

Believe in monsters
now, Mr. Utterson?

Oh!

What's the matter, Hyde?

You lost all your power?

What's the matter, Hyde?

Everyday punch bag.

This is for nearly
dropping me in the river.

And this...

is for leaving me dangling.

Hey, hey!

You!

Beast!

And this

just because.

You leave her alone!

Thanks for waking me up,
Cyclops.

I wouldn't miss this
for the world.

Robert!

Come on!

Get out of here, Max!

Leave the lobster to me.

We have to help him!

No!

Please...

You know, I never did
like shellfish.

They always disagreed with me.

Quick, Robert!

Get in, Robert, get in!

Hils. For the first time
in my life I give you

full permission to
drive like a maniac.

Hold on to your lunches!

We did it!

We did it!

Maggie?

She's been hit.

No!
