Jekyll & Hyde (1990) - full transcript

Henry Jekyll is a troubled man. His wife died of pneumonia. He wants his sister-in-law, but her father forbids any contact. And his experiments into the dual nature of man have yielded a personality-splitting drug that he has tested on himself, changing him into an uninhibited brute who seeks violent and undignified pleasures. Jekyll quickly becomes addicted to the sordid freedom induced by the drug. He can commit the most enjoyably revolting deeds, then return to his laboratory and use an antidote to change back to his original form, so that his lofty persona remains untarnished. But Jekyll's forbidden affair with his sister-in-law becomes a scandal, and with the growing rage within him, his other self no longer needs the drug for release. As Jekyll loses control of his transformations and his antidote becomes less effective, the police begin to suspect his part in his alter-ego's increasing violence.

[AUCTIONEER TALKING DOWNSTAIRS]

Sir. They found her.
She's alive.

- Found who?
- Sara Crawford.

- She's in Somerset.
- What?

- You're sure? - According to the
police, she moved there five years ago.

She changed her name,
had a child,

- the boy is growing up now--
- Kick them out.

- Sir?
- Stop the auction.

But it's already started.

Everything in this house belongs
to Sara Crawford. Stop them
before they sell another thing.

Well, don't just stand there, go
downstairs and kick the vultures out!

This was Dr. Jekyll's
favorite sculpture.

- What am I bid for
this excellent-- - Stop!

Stop the auction.



- This sale is now canceled! - AUCTIONEER:
Canceled?-On whose orders? - Mine.

Who the hell are you?

I am the Executor of
the Estate of the late...

Dr. Henry James Jekyll.

[SUSPENSE MUSIC]

Get you roses her. Lovely roses.
Get your roses here dear.

- Yes, sir. Can I help you? - Ah! A
Miss Elizabeth works here I believe?

- Over there, sir.
- Thank you.

Yeah, she's looking good.
Very fit indeed.

Good work, Elizabeth.

- I'll take him now.
- Elizabeth: Thank you, sir.

Sara.

How are you, Sara?

Are you well?

It's me.

Jeffrey Utterson.

JEFFREY: I've been searching
for you for years.

Go away Jeffrey, leave me alone.

Sara, wait.

I've got something to show you.

This is Henry Jekyll's will.

JEFFREY: You are his
sole beneficiary.

He's left everything to you.

His house, investments,
everything he owned.

I, uh, I was about to sell it.

I don't want it.

- Leave me alone.
- But I...

I hear you have a son now.

- What of him? - Well doesn't
he deserve a good start in life?

SARA: You stay away form him.

Not one word, not one word of what
happened in that house you hear me? Or
I'll kill you. Now leave me alone Jeffrey!

Sara, what's happened to you?
What's changed you like this?
You know what happened to me.

- My dear, I don't.
- You saw him.

- You saw him yourself!
- Saw who?

Hyde!

Hyde?

Hyde.

[POLICE WHISTLE]

POLICE: Come on, get it.
Stop that man!

POLICE: Stop him! Get that man!

POLICE: Oye! Get hold of him!

POLICE: Stop him from that way!

POLICE: Don't let him
get out of here!

[HORSE NEIGHING]

[WOMEN SCREAM]

[PEOPLE MUTTERING]

Is she dead?

No, no, she's still breathing.

Look, Dr. Jekyll's house is
just down the street.

One of you help me
lift her, gently.

Stand back.

Dr. Jekyll?

Dr. Jekyll!

- What happened sir? - Ah,
Poole, get Dr. Jekyll quickly.

What is it, Poole?
What's going on?

Henry, we have
an injured child here.

I think she may be dying.

A man just pushed her under a carriage.
Most horrible human I ever saw.

- She was just standing there
selling flowers, he-- - Poole.

Go outside and hail a cab
as quickly as you can.

- JEFFREY: Shall I come with you?
- JEKYLL: No, Jeffrey.

You go on without me.

[BALLROOM MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Sir Peter and Lady Holston.

- Ah! Hello, my dear.
- Good evening.

Peter, you old rascal, who's
going to win the elections?

- Annabel.
- PETER: The Liberals.

You're looking wonderful.

- How are the children, are
they well? - Disgustingly well.

And it's about time you had
some your own.

Where is your husband?

- Singapore.
- Oh, what a shame.

Doctor.

Mr. Jeffrey Utterson.

Good evening.

You know my daughter, of course.

- Of course. How are you, Sara?
- Jeffrey.

Where is Henry Jekyll? I thought
he was coming with you?

He's been detained
at the hospital.

A child was injured
in the street.

- But he says he going to
come-- - Sara, I want you to
come talk to Professor Elliott.

Get me some chloroform,
sutures, and a trephine.

Find Dr. Loyd.

- Poole, you wait here.
- Right, sir.

That was intolerably
rude father.

Jeffrey Utterson
is a friend of mine.

He's a friend of Jekyll's, you should
not have invited either of them,
I'm very annoyed. Sara dear, we
were just saying how brave you are.

Brave? How?

By letting your husband loose in the far
East, surrounded by sultry maidens.They
don't allow maidens on board ships of the
Royal Navy Annabel, sultry or otherwise.

But he's so handsome dear and
you haven't seen him for ages.

Now I would call that brave in
a wife, wouldn't you Dr. Lanyon?

Father, didn't you want me
to speak to Professor Elliott?

He's over there.

Oh...

Did I say something wrong?

It's an inter-cranial
hemorrhage, Paul.

There's no other way.

But if you open up her skull she could
die on the table. And if I don't release
the hematoma, she'll die on the stretcher.

Don't do it, sir,
you'll kill her.

Bring her in.

Swab her down, nurse.

[WHISPERING] I will save you.

As God is my witness.

I will save you.

[BALL ROOM MUSIC CONTINUES]

I just wanted you
to talk to him that's all.

This silly feud's been going
on for more than a year.

I won't have Jekyll in this
house and there's an end to it.

Why? Because he's disproved
some of your theories?

Damnation, your sister is dead!
How am I going to forgive that?

Forgive?

What is there to forgive?

Louise died of pneumonia, there's no
cure for that. You know it. Sara, I am a
past president of the Medical Council.,

please do not lecture
me on medicine.

Jekyll killed his wife just as surely
as he'd buried her alive. Killed her?

Father what are you saying?

He loved her.

He moved heaven and earth
to find a cure.Just like a
witch-doctor finds a cure.

Experimenting with one treatment
after another until she died.

The only cure for that charlatan
is a bullet in the head.

Sara.

Stay away from him, Sara.
You're all I have left.

Dr. Lanyon.
Isn't this our dance?

JEKYLL: Ready?

Hold her head, Paul.

Completely still.

Trephine please.

No movement at all.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

[CONVERSATION INAUDIBLE
OVER THE MUSIC]

Swab?

Suture.

Now, Paul.

Take her back to the
ward and stay with her.

All she can die off now,
is an infection.

But she won't, she's a winner.

Look...

Try dress the wound,

give her plenty to drink and
I'll see you again in the
morning. Thank you. Good night.

It doesn't matter,
Sara, honestly.

It does matter.

My father snubbed you Jeffrey,
I'll make him apologize. -You'll
see. - Make who apologize?

JEFFREY: Henry. How's the child?

She's sitting in bed
drinking hot milk, I hope.

Oh, that's a relief, um...

I think you should talk
to Sara before you go in.

But, eh, I'll bid you
both goodnight.

Goodnight.

Am I too late for the Ball?

- Henry, I must talk to you, my
father's-- - Just a moment. That's not
the last waltz they're playing is it?

- Uh, yeas, but eh--
- No buts.

[WALTZ MUSIC PLAYING]

Goodness. How romantic.

Goodnight, Sara.

Goodnight, Dr. Jekyll.

Sara, our guest are leaving.

And you sir will oblige
me by leaving now.

DR. LANYON:
You are not welcome here.

Goodnight, Sara.

[INAUDIBLE CHATTER]

[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[WOMAN LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY]

Leave me alone.

No, no, leave me alone, please.

Please, leave me alone.

Oye, oye, oye, that's
enough, you've got--

Leave him, Mr. Hyde,
I'll deal with him.

Go on, Lucy, get upstairs.

Please! Please.

You get what you are.

Troublemaker, that's what you are.-Now
choose a girl or go. - LUCY: Please! No!

Please, please.

Please.

[LUCY SOBBING]

Don't hurt me.

Oh, please.

[LUCY] Please don't
hurt me again.

Please.

Don't hurt me again, please.

Please don't hurt me.

[LUCY SCREAMING]

Right.

Get out.

No!

Oye! Oye, you in there!

Leave that girl alone!

I told you once, now get out.

WOMAN: What do you
mean soliciting?

Take your hands off me.

I'm a good girl, I am,
take your hands off me.

WOMAN: Stop it, stop it.

[SERGEANT] Right, you can
all go. Go home.

Well, Mr. Utterson?

No, Inspector Palmer.

I'm afraid it isn't
any of these men.

Pity.

We though we'd
got him this time.

Perhaps you would favor Sergeant
Hornby with your statement.

- Certainly.
- This way sir.

Has this man committed
crimes before?

All over London. Arson,
destruction of property.

Last night, he walked up to a
policeman and just broke his arm.

Oh God. What, for no reason?

Some of them don't need
a reason, do they, sir?

Well, do you think
you'll find him?

This is Scotland Yard, sir.
We'd find him at the North Pole.

After you.

These then are
the frontal lobes.

The areas that
shape the personality.

And the brain works through
a system of chemical messengers.

So in theory, we can shape that
personality in any way that we please.

Your book says,
"By the use of drugs."

JEKYLL: I'm flattered
you read it.

But Dr. Lanyon
says the opposite.

He says our behavior
is fixed at birth.

We can never be changed.

Dr. Lanyon is wrong.

You drink six glasses of whiskey
and see if your behavior remains
the same.[EVERYONE LAUGHS]

In this bottle, there's
a fluid called Reserpine.

The Indians use it
to treat melancholia.

People contemplating suicide have
had their outlook completely changed.

It's crude, but it works.

So, chemicals do
control the mind.

Yes.

Perhaps we should give some to
Dr. Lanyon. [EVERYONE LAUGHING]

All right, all right, that's
enough.We're on Ward B in three minutes.

- Sir, one more question.
- JEKYLL: Yes?

Dr. Jekyll.

STUDENT: Can drugs be used to improve
intelligence? -One day, who knows.
And you'll be the first to get
some. - [STUDENTS LAUGHING]STUDENT:
Sir, in chapter three, you
say we can eliminate madness.

No, I say we can control it,
by inducing the opposite.

There's a difference.

- Just by finding the right
drug? - Yes. But, that's against
the laws of nature. Surely.

I can see you're
a Lanyonite Stephen.

You're going to take
a lot of convincing.

No more questions,
off you go, Ward B.

I asked downstairs,
they said it would be all right.

If it's about last night,
it's my fault.

I shouldn't have accepted
your invitation.

Henry, please listen.

My father's been saying some
terrible things about you.

He doesn't still think
I neglected Louise?

He thinks you killed her.

What?

By treating her with untried medicines.
He's been reading your theories about
drugs and he thinks they're dangerous.

That's absurd.

She died of pneumonia, nothing
on earth could have saved her.

She was his daughter, Henry,
try to understand--

She was my wife.

- What kind of a man does
he think I am? - Dr. Jekyll?

What is it, Mr. Thomas?

They're waiting
for you in B Ward sir.

Eh, I'm coming.

Um, can we talk about this
over dinner or something?

I can't, not tonight.

Or lunch. Lunch tomorrow then
at the eh...

- at the Cafe Royal.
- All right.

Henry, please be careful.

- My father is a very
powerful man.

Right, gentlemen, follow me.

This is the patient.

She was admitted last night.

Can you all see?

She suffered a severe
subdural hemorrhage.

Requiring craniotomy

and serosanguineous
fluid evacuation

of the Frontal-Parietal cortex.

- Are you a doctor?
- JEKYLL: Yes.

- What gave me away?
- That.

Oh.

- You're Victoria aren't you?
- Vicky.

- Can I look under your
bandages, Vicky? - Yes.

Excuse me, Dr. Jekyll,
there's a reporter downstairs.

- A reporter?
- He says it's urgent.

They can't.

- Can't what?
- Look under my bandages.

Yes, they are a suspicious
looking bunch, aren't they?

You keep an eye on
them until I come back.

I will, don't you worry.

Do I have the honor
of addressing, Dr. Jekyll?

Edward Snape, sir,
London Record.

- This will only take a minute.
- What will?

Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt are
just over there, sir.

- If you'll follow me please.
- Eh, just a moment.

- Who are they? - Oh, the
grateful parents doctor.

And very grateful they are too,
if I may say so. Nigel!

Now, sir, if you could just hold
Mrs. Wyatt's hand while we talk,

Nigel's going to get an artists
impression for our readers.

"Medical Hero Meets
Distressed Mother."

[YELLING IN HER EAR] This is the
doctor what saved little Vicky for you.

- How do you do, Mrs. Wyatt?
- You'll have to speak up sir.

- They're both deaf.
- How do you do, Mrs. Wyatt?

Now Doctor, what went through your mind
as the child lay helpless in your arms.

Well, I, eh...

I knew that surgery
would be necessary.

- What's he saying?
- Read it in the paper.

Hmm...

You know this will be too hot,
I'll have to leave it. But the
evening are cold aren't they, Ma'am?

- Out there in the tropics. -
Well, not according to the Captain.

He says that Singapore
is like a steam bath.

[DOOR OPENS]

Barbra, will you
leave us please.Yes, Dr. Lanyon.

Sara.

Last week I brought a copy of that
man's book into my house. Last night,
you invited him to the Lanyon Ball.

If you're talking about Henry
Jekyll father, please use his name.

But today you went too far.

You visited a hospital for
which I am personally associated

for a public meeting with the very man
who is trying to destroy my reputation.

Oh, now you are
being ridiculous.

You are a married woman,
the whole town is talking.

You mean Annabel is talking?

Sara, I want the truth.

Has he seduced you? Is that it?

How could you?

Have you betrayed your husband
with your own brother-in-law?

Answer me?

How dare you?

You answer my question with
a question of your own.

So I have my answer, have I not?

Father!

Father!

- Evening, doctor.
- Good evening.

- How is the child?
- She'll be as good as new.

No supper tonight, Poole,
will you tell Mrs. Clark?

Eh, I'm not happy
with Mrs. Clark sir.

She's the laziest housekeeper
I've ever met.

Not now, Poole,
I've got work to do.

Very good, sir.

Eh, can I get you
something to drink?

No. And don't wait up.

- Good night, Doctor.
- Good night, Poole.

[SCREAMING]

[GROWLING LIKE A BEAST]

[GROWLING CONTINUES]

[SCREAMING]

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

[LAUGHING WITH A BEASTLY VOICE]

- Seen your local police?
- Local police?

Don't be stupid. Local police?

They're useless.
You know what they said?

"You're in a dangerous trade."

Dangerous?

- How can I work? Look at me! -
You wanted me Dennis? This lady
thinks she's seen your maniac, Jim.

There's no 'thinks' about it.

Look what he'd done to me!

That's his picture in the paper.

Why don't you do something?

Dennis get Inspector Palmer
down here, now.

Come on, miss.
Come on, sit down.

Come on you lot.

Don't sit here all night.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

I'm telling you. Yeah.

Governor. Behind me.

It's him. It's the same man.

All right, get the police,
I'll keep him talking.

Good evening, sir.

First time in here? Oh, you can
have a drink on the house aye.

[EVERYONE SCREAMING]

BARTENDER: Stand back!
Stand Back!

All right, everybody, all right
now, calm down, he's gone.

Calm down, sit down, come
on get on with you drinks.

Come on, Fred sit down.

That's it, calm down, everybody,
every-thing's all right now.

[EVERYONE SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

And you're sure
it's the same man?

He lives there.

His name's Hyde.

And who is this posh friend?

That's who pays
his rent, I told you.

- And what does he look like?
- I've never seen him.

- And he pays Mrs. Hackett.
- Woman who runs the place.

- Jim, you, me and Freeman,
outside in five minutes. - Right.

- What's you name love?
- Lucy Fletcher.

There's a nurse upstairs, Lucy.

Get her to look
at those bruises.

God almighty!

What is he, a man
or a sewer rat.

- Hey! Look what you've done to my
door! - Where is he, Mrs. Hackett?

I was bringing the key.

- Look what you've done.
- Where is he?

I told you, he comes
and he goes.

Who is going to pay
for this door?

Alan, his coat's still warm.
Seems he just left.

- He'll be back. - You put that
down, that's private property.

Who's his posh
friend, Mrs. Hackett?

What posh friend? I don't
know any posh friend.

Yes you do. The one
who pays his rent.

That Lucy tell you?
She's a lying little slut.

He pays the rent himself.

Now what's he doing?

- You tell him to put that down. - What
is it, Jim? -Medicine? - It's more like...

Sulfur or something.

Bloody vandal. I had the key!

Mrs. Hackett, if you're not out of
the room by the time I count five.

I'll close this rat hole down,
do you understand?

INSPECTOR PALMER: One...

- INSPECTOR PALMER: Two...
- Filth.

That's what he is. Filth!

What does it say on the label?

- "Reflux".
- What's "reflux"?

I don't know.

I want a 24 hour
watch on the street,

and someone in here all night,
watching the old hag.

- I don't want him warned off.
- Where you going?

Back to the Yard. I want to
know what's in this bottle.

Wait a minute, who's going
to sit with the old hag?

It's you she fancies,
Jim, not me.

Thanks.

- [FLIES BUZZING] -Oh, God.

The Cafe Royal.

Where is my daughter
going, Williams?

I-I think to her
dress maker, sir.

At the Cafe Royal?

Get your hat and coat.

I want you to deliver a letter to the
office of the London Record.

[VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYING
IN THE BACKGROUND]

...then, the dawn came up.

She touched my hand.

I watched her slip away.

JEKYLL: I can still
feel that touch.

Even now.

- I'm so sorry, Henry.
- She was my wife, Sarah.

And your father
thinks I killed her?

Try to forgive him, he's...

he's old and...

I'm making it worse.

How could you make it worse?

By being friends with you.

He's accused me
of being your mistress.

Now that's outrageous.
I'm going to talk to him.

No, it's not important.

This is got to stop, Sara.

- It doesn't matter.
- Of course it matters.

Talk like this could ruin you.

It's not me he's
trying to ruin, it's you.

Me?

Why?

Sit down, Henry, please.

You're replacing him,
don't you see?

- No I don't see.
- Then you're blind.

All his life he's been
respected for his knowledge.

His books are the standard books
of medicine throughout the world.

And now you've challenged him.

Science moves on, Sara.

Nothing stays the same.

You're not listening.

You believe that science
should have no limits.

He sees that as evil.

Evil...

is not a scientific word.

Perhaps, that's why
he fears you.

"Man was made in the
image of the creator.

"So not only are
Jekyll's idea's dangerous,

"They also laugh in
the face of God."

The writing of
an old man, Mr. Devlin.

We can't print a word of it.
I'll send it back.

Dr. Lanyon is a past President
of the Medical Council, Snape.

You don't ignore
a man like that.

Not entirely, sir, I do agree.

- But, apart--
- Show this letter to Jekyll.

We'll print his reply
on the same page.

I was going
to suggest that, sir.

Oh, you were? Where you?

Hi.

Well I persuaded the editor to print
this letter after all. Oh, splendid.

Give my regards to Dr. Lanyon.

And get my name right.

Snape.

Edward Snape.

Of course.

Give my regards to Richard.

I hear he's in line for Admiral.

So they say.

You'll enjoy Singapore.

Sunshine, all those
Navy parties.

Don't mock me, Henry, please.

Mock you?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

What did you mean?

It's getting late, I should go.

Sara.

I've known you since
you were a little girl.

What's wrong?

Nothing, I'm just tired.

It's more than that.

What is it?

I don't love him.

It's not his fault, I just...

I don't love him,
I never have.

Oh, Sara.

Why did you marry him?

Why?

- You know why.
- No.

- I don't.
- Yes you do.

Because...

Because I couldn't have you.

Bye, Henry.

Sara.

This is the gentleman, sir.

He's been waiting
for over an hour.

I told your man we've
met before doctor.

But I don't think
he'd believe me.

Edward Snape, London Record.

- Yes, Mr. Snape? - My editor
received this letter today.

It's from an eminent
surgeon. A Dr. Lanyon.

I've decided to print it.

So, I thought you might
like to comment.

Your appearance
is due at 8:00, sir.

Thank you, Poole.

Isn't your father a member
of parliament, Doctor?

A man with progressive views,
like yourself, I believe.

What's in the letter, Mr. Snape?

It's in the nature of
an attack on your book, sir.

I was just admiring
your art collection.

Very impressive.

SNAPE: And I say that as one who
prefers photography to art. The
advance of science so to speak.

But then, that's what the debate's
all about, isn't it doctor?

The advance of science.

We'll print your
reply, of course.

Doctor?

I said we'll print your reply.

A chance to put
your views across.

SNAPE: I'm sure that's
only fair. Don't you agree?

I-I I'll have to eh...

study the letter first.

I'm sorry Doctor, we're going to
press in two hours.Perhaps I could
ask you a few questions instead.

You were once married to
Dr. Lanyon's daughter I believe.

Do you mind telling
me how she died?

Good evening, Father.

Where are the chairs?

Where's my chair?

Are you addressing me, madam?

Father what's going on?

I'm not your father.

I have no daughters
now, both are dead.

- What do you mean?
- You are not welcome here.

You must go to your husband.

Father what are you saying?

Williams, you'll remove this person from
my house. And after that you'll post
this letter that I have written to her
husband. I do not wish to see her again.

Now do your duty.

No wait.

You were seen!

Seen in the park!

In the arms of your lover!

Now get out!

Williams, please,
leave me alone.

I'm sorry ma'am,
I have my orders.

Father make him stop!

Adulteress!

I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'm truly sorry.

Very interesting Theory, Doctor.

Our readers are always
interested in scientific matters.

Now, just one more question.

This conflict between you and Dr.
Lanyon, is it entirely scientific?

Or could it be...

well, personal matter?

He's the one who wrote
the letter, Mr. Snape.

- Why don't you ask him.
- Oh, I will, sir, that's my job.

But it is a strange coincidence
you must admit.

A father-in-law with
a grudge perhaps.

Has been known before,
if I may say so.

Excuse me, Doctor.

- Yes, Poole?
- Could you, spare a moment?

- What is it?
- I-I think it's important.

What is?

Mrs. Crawford is here.

Mrs. Crawford?

I'll show you out.

[SARA AND JEKYLL CAN
BE HEARD SPEAKING]

It's no use--

POOLE: Will you come this way, please? All
right, but he won't get away with this.
-Sara, listen. - [SARA RESPONDS INAUDIBLY]

Who's the eh... lady?

Good night, sir.

Stop worrying,
you'll be all right.

- Sir. - Ah, Poole, get some
towels and call Mrs. Clark. Mr.
and Mrs. Jekyll are arriving.

- Henry your parents. I must go.
- Nonsense.

Crawford.

Mrs. Crawford.

Close those doors.

Good evening, Mr. Jekyll.

- Mrs. Jekyll.
- MRS. JEKYLL: Evening, Poole.

MR. JEKYLL: Good evening.

And then, the Secretary of State
asked me if I enjoyed the evening.

So I told the old
fool the truth.

- What did you say?
- Oh, don't encourage him, Henry.

It was most unseemly.

I simply said, that if the soup
had been as warm as the Champagne,

and if the fish had been
as fresh as the maid,

and if the maid had been
as willing as the Hostess.

MR. JEKYLL: There would have
been a very rewarding evening.

You should have seen his face.

It's a wonder we're
invited anywhere.

MR. JEKYLL: Your mother's still ashamed
of me, Harry, after all these years.

To rewarding evenings.

What, in Port wine?

Where's the Napoleon brandy?

This is the Doctor's room
as you can see, madam.

I'm only the house keeper,
of course,

but I put you in here because I've
had no instructions to the contrary.

I'm sure it'll be
all right, Mrs. Clark.

I laid out one of your
sister's night gowns,

I expect it will fit.

- Thank you.
- It's no trouble.

MRS. CLARK: He kept
all of her clothes.

They were a very devoted couple,
the Doctor and your sister.

So they tell me.

I've changed the sheets.

Good night, madam.

Good night, Mrs. Clark.

Well, if you gentlemen will
give me a moment to myself.

- Thank you, Poole. - Coffee will be
served in the drawing room, Mrs. Jekyll.

You can't fool me, Harry.

So don't try.

Fool you?

How?

MR. JEKYLL: You're over-working.

I can see it in your face.

I worked like that too,
to educate you.

And I'm very
proud of you, but...

Don't kill yourself, boy.

I'm proud of you too.

He didn't say much, Mr. Devlin,
as you can see.

So who is this woman
in his house?

The butler called
her Mrs. Crawford.

I have looked
in the medical register.

But there's no
Dr. Crawford listed.

Medical register?

People mix with their own
kind, Mr. Devlin. He might
have been a doctor's wife.

Oh, she's somebody's wife.

Stay with it.

I smell a scandal growing.

Good night, gentlemen.

Good night, Harry.

Thank you.

You're mother's right you know,
you should marry again. MRS.
CLARK: Doctor! Dr. Jekyll.

Might I have a word
with you sir?

JEKYLL: What is it, Mrs. Clark?

I've looked in on Mrs. Crawford
and she's sleeping soundly.I don't
know weather you would like me
to make you up a separate room,

or weather you've made
your own arrangements.

I'll be eh... staying at
my club tonight.

If you say so, sir.

But nobody told me.

It's my fault, Mrs. Clark.

I forgot.

You know best, Mr. Poole.

Sara Crawford?

- Louise's sister?
- Yes.

I'll tell you about
it tomorrow mother.

Very well, dear.

Good night, Harry.

Good night.

- Good night, Harry.
- Good night.

[JEKYLL SCREAMING]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[GROWLING AND GLASS SHATTERING]

[GROWLING]

Doctor?

Doctor?

What is it, Poole?

I don't know, Ma'am.

Dr. Jekyll.

JEKYLL: It's all right,
Poole, go to bed. Is anything wrong, sir?

JEKYLL: I just
dropped something.

- JEKYLL: Go to bed.
- Is there anything I can do?Go away!

Would you-would you
like a hot drink, ma'am?

No, thank you.

- Good night.
- Good night, Mrs. Crawford.

[BREATHS HEAVILY]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

What's the time, Jack?

Half past bloody two.

You hungry?

What is it?
Bread and cheese?

No, it's smoked salmon souffle.
Eat it while it's hot. Jim.

Fits the description.

You think it's him?

JIM: It could be.

- He's going in.
- Let's find out.

That's his room.

- Ready?
- Yes.

- [GROWLS] -Look out, Jim.

I got him.

Hold him, Jack.

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMING]

Oh, my God.

He's dead.

[PANTING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[SCREAMS]

Morning, ma'am.

It's Poole.

Mrs. Crawford.

I have breakfast for you.

[SOBBING]

Mrs. Crawford, What is it?

Mrs. Clark.

[POOLE] Mrs. Clark.

[POOLE] Mrs. Clark!

Mrs. Clark, come quickly.

Mrs. Clark!

Mrs. Clark!

Mrs. Clark, where are you?

I can't wait any longer.

When Sgt. Hornby get here,
give him this box.

Here he is now, sir.

How's Jack's wife?

How do you think?

Two little boys as well.

You better lock me up, Governor,
because I'm gonna shoot that
bastard dead. Calm down, Jim.

Here, take this.

- What is it?
- The bottle.

The one we found
in the room.

I want to know what's in it and what
it's used for.I'll tell you something,

he's gotta get his bloody strength from
somewhere. He killed Jack with one hand.

So get it analyzed.

You know what reflux means?

I looked it up,
it means "flowing backwards".

Allen...

we've got to get him now,
you know that, don't you?

Oh, we'll get him.

That I guarantee.

He was just sitting there.

[GASPS]

He was just
sitting on the bed.

Oh, God, it was horrible.

Don't talk.

Drink this,
it'll make you sleep.

Poole, where's Mrs. Clark?

Damn woman's gone out.

I wanted her to stay
with Mrs. Crawford.

No.

You'll feel drowsy soon.

I want you to get some sleep.

He was...

He was...
How did he get in?

He was there on the bed.

You wanted me, Doctor?

Where have you been, Clark?

To get the police.

They're downstairs now.

[MRS. CLARK] I hope I did right.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Look, if you want any more,
get 'em yourself.

Hey, how old are you, cheeky?

Thirteen.

Do you want to be fourteen?

Ah, Ted, here's your article.

Literature at last.

How long is this
going to take?

Ten minutes
if you're lucky.

Twenty if you're not.

Here, have some.
Keep up your strength.

Very funny.

So when can we see the lady?

Uh, not until this evening.

She's under sedation.

Do you know how he got in, sir?

The window in
my laboratory is broken.

Poole, perhaps, you would
show the officers.

Certainly, sir.

This way, please.

[DOOR CLOSES]

DEVLIN: Punctuation at the...

...the story on page three.

DEVLIN: Which one?

Eureka.

Hello, Mrs. Crawford.

They're writing a news item,
for heaven's sake, not an essay.

Quote the prime minister
in the first paragraph.

Yes, sir.

Society page, three years old.

"Marriage: Captain Richard
Crawford of the Royal Navy

to Sarah, youngest daughter
of Dr. Charles Lanyon."

That's who she is, Mr. Devlin.

She's Sara Lanyon.

Lanyon's daughter
in Jekyll's arms.

It's happened before.

Wife dies, duff the sister.

Sharpen your pencils, Snape.

Never blunt, sir.

Doctor accused, doctor accused
doctor accused of fraud.

Doctor accused of fraud,
all the latest.

Doctor accused of fraud,
all the latest.

Royal visit to India.

Doctor accused of fraud.

Doctor accused.

Take him back? What do
you mean take him back?

The place is crawling
with coppers 'cause of you.

But I can't find anywhere else.

Then why'd you
go to the police,

you stupid little slut.

'Cause he beat me,
that's why.

But he didn't break your neck.

I'll get you, you old bag,
you see if I don't!

I'll tell 'em about the doctor.

You do and I'll kill you.

[THUDDING]

You're back.

The police are looking for you.

That man died last night.

You killed him.

So I'll need more money.

Tell the doctor
I'll need more money.

Understand?

Oh, God.

Come in here
and tell me about the doctor.

That is impossible.

What is wrong now?

Well, if the powder's acidic, it
should turn this indicator red.

You don't know
what you're doing, do you?

I'm a technician, Sergeant,
not a genius.

You should've taken it
to a chemical analyst.

That's not what you said
when I brought it in.

Where do I find one?

Try the universities.

I want a name.

Well, ask the man
who wrote that book.

Perhaps he knows
hat the bloody stuff is.

I don't.

CHARLES: Margaret,
step aside, please.

Morning, Dr. Lanyon.

Morning, Margaret.

Margaret.

Right.

Hello, gorgeous.

A girl like you could
flutter a sailor's heart.

Is the captain's wife at home?

Who's asking?

Of course.

You must be Margaret.

How'd you know name?

"Prettiest girl in my fair,"
the captain always says.

Ah, how right he was.

Are you from
Captain Crawford's ship?

A finer captain never sailed
the seven seas, Margaret.

But, he...

He's besotted.

Captain's behaving like
a lovesick duck.

"Ted", he says to me,
always calls me Ted,

"Ted," he says,
"when you're in London,

"tell my dear wife
how much I miss her."

I'd do anything
for the captain.

So, is the lady at home?

Oh, no.

- What's wrong?
- Well, she's gone.

Dr. Lanyon slung her out
last night in the pouring rain.

They say she's got a lover.

That Dr. Jekyll.

A lover.

Margaret, I'm shocked.

I never thought I'd live
to hear it said.

What are you gonna
tell the captain?

The truth, Margaret.

Sad, sad, truth.

Hey, just a minute.

What's your name?

JEKYLL: Yes, Johnson,
I have read that article

and the record.

And I think that
Dr. Lanyon is blind.

All over Africa

men who believe that
they're going to die...

they die.

And why?

Because the mind
controls the body.

Alter the mind
and you alter the man.

If that were true, we could
be whatever we wanted to be.

And one day we will be.

Tall, short,

strong, weak, like...

grafting roses.

But that's like playing God. Yes.

And it will happen.

Science will control our shapes,

our intelligence,

even create new breeds of men.

Violent men to fight our wars,

docile men to do our work.

Hell on earth.

And I...

I want no part of it.

All right, I'll ask again.

He walks in here and he rents
the room, what was his name?

I told you, he said he was
a doctor, that's all I know.

And then a week later,
Hyde arrives,

he turns this pig pen into a
sewer, starts hitting the girls,

you don't complain.

He was a patient,
the doctor was treating him.

He must've paid you a lot of
money, our friend, the doctor.

Twenty pounds was it?
Thirty to shut your mouth?

Cuff yourself off.

All right, Mrs. Hackett,
who is he?

Who is Hyde?

Answer me!

The devil.

What?

The devil.

[FLOOR CREAKING]

Sara.

Are you awake?

Oh, I was frightened.

Can I talk to you?

Of course.

Ah, oh.

Oh, my head hurts.

- I'll get you something.
- No, don't go. Have they found him?

No. And they won't.

What do you mean?

They'll never find him.

Why not?

Because he isn't real.

But, it's not my imagination,

he was here,
he was in this room.

I'm not making it up,
it happened.

Sara, hear me out.

I know how real he can seem.

Because I know who he is.

You know him?

Then how can you say
he's not real?

He was induced.

You're not making any sense.

If you know who he is,
then he is real.

Who is he?

Who is he, Henry?

He is me.

Oh, no, this is insane.

This is insane,
what are you saying...

I don't have much time.

If I tell you,
will you listen to me?

Right to the end?

Doctor, the police
have returned,

they're asking
for Mrs. Crawford.

Tell them to wait.

Sir.

Please, Sara, listen to me.

I am in more trouble
than any man alive.

[WATER RUNNING]

POOLE: Dr. Jekyll.

The police will
see you now, sir.

I'm coming.

Right.

Let me see
if I've got this straight.

You didn't see his face.

Not clearly, no.

And you can't
describe his clothes.

It was too dark.

At 7:30 in the morning?

The curtains were closed.

Mrs. Crawford, I know
this is distressing.

But is there anything
you can tell us about this man?

Anything at all?

Ah, Doctor.

SARA: There is
one thing, Sergeant. SERGEANT: Yes, Ma'am.

The window in
the doctor's room is broken.

We've seen that.

Well, perhaps
he climbed in there.

Not unless he was
a contortionist.

It was broken from the inside.

Oh.

I'm afraid there's no more I can
tell you, absolutely nothing.

I'm sorry I wasted your time.

I see.

Well, if you do
remember anything.

Yes, you will be
the first to know.

Good night.

Good night, ma'am.

- Good night, Doctor.
- Good night.

Yes, we will
find our own way out.

What's her game?

You mean you don't know?
Lover's tiff.

Jekyll hits her, butler find
her, all very embarrassing,

so she spins us a yarn.

Nice looking girl, though.

Yeah, better
without the bruises.

[CHUCKLES]

May I show you something?

This is where
he was born.

He's hidden in here.

18 years to work it out.

Insects,

mice.

And one day, last April,

I saw it in a flash.

It should've been able to turn

the ugly beautiful and...

stupid bright.

But all I found...

was Hyde.

Henry, I don't understand
any of this.

No.

Please, listen.

That was a wonderful thing.

What you've just done.

You gave me back my freedom.

It was more than I deserve.

Well.

This is my answer.

- Henry, no.
- No, Sara.

No, Sara.

Let it burn.

But it's your life's work.

It's a trial.

I'm a doctor.

I'm supposed to get rid of pain,
not cause it.

I took an oath.

That's what my father
always says.

He was right.

And I was wrong.

Will you go back to Singapore?

Do you want me to?

[GROANS]

[ORCHESTRA MUSIC]

[ORCHESTRA MUSIC ENDS]

BERESFORD: Bravo!

Bravo! Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Living with her own
borther-in-law?

Annabelle, are you sure?

Ah, Charlotte,
it's all over the papers.

They don't even deny it.

It's outrageous.

My dear, that's why
the whole town is talking.

Charlotte, it's Beresford Mount.

CHARLOTTE: Beresford Mount.

Bravo!

Dr. Jekyll?

No, sir, this is Dr. Jekyll.

Ah, Doctor, my name is
Beresford Mount.

We've been reading about
your theories in the papers.

Very controversial.

How would you care to
discuss that over supper?

I don't need an argument
tonight, Mr. Mount.

And in any case,
I'm dining with friends.

Ah, yes, so am I, sir.

The party I'm with
is sitting up there,

in the royal box.

You see, I'm private secretary to the
Prince of Wales. Perhaps we could all
meet up in the foyer and go on from there?

It's been a privilege
to meet you, Mrs. Jekyll.

Annabelle, you don't think
they've been invited, do you?

[CHUCKLING] Certainly not.

The Prince has more sense.

MAN: Encore!

Very good of you to come at this late
hour, Dr. Lanyon.I had very little choice.

Until five minutes ago, I was a
guest at the commissioner's dinner
table.Where is this substance?

Here, sir.

There's not much left of it, I'm
afraid, I've carried out so many tests.

- What tests?
- The ones in your book, sir.

You've eliminated strickmine,
ordine, morphine?

Not yet, Doctor, no.

Potassium permanganate?

All the opiates?

I don't have
the equipment, sir.

Yes, I see.

Well, I'll give you
a list of what I need,

and I shall start
after lunch tomorrow.

VENDOR: Chestnuts.

Get your chestnuts.

Hot chestnuts.

- Thank you very much.
- Get your chestnuts.

Hot chestnuts.

Get your chestnuts.

Plenty of customers?

Call it off, Guv,
you'll not come back.

Then we'll have to find another
way, won't we, Sergeant.

Bloody waste of time.

Hot chestnuts.
Get your chestnuts.

- Here you go.
- Thank you very much.

Fancy a chestnut?

And so when I told them
I was not Mrs. Jekyll,

they all just
nodded and smiled.

What else could they do?

The Prince has
a string of mistresses.

- Two of them were there.
- A string?

Hmm, that's why
he looks so old.

He doesn't look
a day over 40.

You know he's only 16?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

- Fool.
- Oh.

Let's stop at my parents' and
tell them we had supper with the
Prince of Wales. They'll love that.

Oh, no, Henry, please,
I can't face them yet. Of course, you can.

Driver, stop please.

No, Henry, please, I...

I've had too much champagne,
I can't even get my words out.

Nonsense. They'll never
notice the difference.

[LAUGHS] No, no, you go.

- Without you?
- You'll enjoy it.

Go on.

Driver, take the lady to number
4, Clifford Street, please.

Or as you would say,

Strifford Cleet.

Hmm. Don't keep them up
too late. [WHIP CRACKING]

Nonsense, celebration
is a celebration

and it calls
for Napoleon brandy.

...heroes
and the talent of the week.

I can't remember
where I put it.

You always do this.

Why do you
keep hiding it?

Because the cook is annoying.

[CHUCKLES] Now you look that
side, and I'll look this side.

The Prince hides his brandy,
I'll wager.

Well, you were
with him all night,

now you know that, don't you?

What Harry said to the Prince and
what the Prince said to Harry.
I think I'll sleep down here.

We didn't say much, you know.

There were
12 other people there.

Well, that won't stop your
mother, she'll make it up.

Now, about Sara,
is she getting a divorce?

You can't thumb your nose
at society forever, Harry.

They'll freeze you out in
the end, they always do.

Harry, what have you done?

No!

- No!
- What is it?

[GRUNTING]

Harry, what is it?

[GROWLING]

WOMAN: Mind where you're goin'.

MAN: Wait, look out.

William?

Henry?

I heard a noise.
Are you all right?

[GASPS]

[SCREAMING]

[HYDE PANTING]

Ready?

[BLOWS WHISTLE]

[ALL CLAMORING]

Get out of the way.

Get out of my way!

[OFFICER SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[PANTING]

We've lost it.
It's no use.

Why did it stop here?

...come on.

"Jekyll", "Dr. H.J. Jekyll."

Jim.

[PANTING]

Who is it?

Who's there?

[GASPS]

Henry, what is it?
What's wrong?

What's happened?

He's killed my father.

Oh, my God.

I can't control him, Sara.

He's inside me.

Inside you?

No, no, you destroyed it.

The chemicals, everything,
you destroyed it.

He's a part of me.

He's, he's like a huge viper
living inside of me.

I keep him drugged
but he's very strong.

It worked at first,
but he's so strong.

[GASPS]

Oh.

My love.

[NEWSPAPER BOY] Murder!
Murder! Get your news.

Murder! Murder!
Get your news.

Murder! Murder in Mayfair!
Get the paper.

Murder!

That's a very sophisticated
compound, Inspector,

that's why it's taking so long.

These four of the ingredients
are completely unknown to me.

Quite extraordinary.

All right, bring me
the distillation.

Don't go to too much trouble,
Dr. Lanyon.

We only wanted to know
what it might be used for.

First I have to know what it is.

TECHNICIAN: Sir, shouldn't it be
at clear this time?

Clear liquid?

CHARLES: Of course.

It's not.

It's happened again. Look.

How much of
the original compound is left?

Only about an ounce.

I'm going to send a small sample
to every research institute
in London. Good idea, sir.

There is an answer.
There must be an answer.

Unless you find it.

All right, thank you, gentlemen.

Right, Doctor, I'll see you out.

Goodbye, sir.

I hope you sit on
a bunsen burner.

I thought you admired him.

[SCOFFS] Not after what they
said about him in the papers.

Threw his daughter out
in the rain.

Old reptile.

I kept the paper on the bench
just to embarrass him. You
should've seen his face.

Jekyll.

Dr. H.J. Jekyll.

Allen, Allen.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Mother, it's Henry.

Dr. Lloyd said
it is irreversible.

Yes.

It's a stroke, isn't it?

Yes.

Can she hear you?

No.

And she can't see me either.

That's him.

Mr. Snape.

Sergeant Hornby,
Scotland Yard.

Ah, yes.

Apparently you
wrote this article.

That's right.

What do you know about
Dr. Henry James Jekyll?

Enough. Why?

Does he treat any
special patients?

Dangerous ones?

Violent ones?

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

I get your drift.

MAN: Copy boy.

Do you mean
the sort of lunatic

that might push little girls under
coaches right outside his house?

Might even live
in the house, Mr. Snape.

Well, well.

Sit down, Sergeant.

I'll tell you everything I know.

It's hopeless.

You found it once,
'you'll find it again.

There are 32
different ingredients, Sara.

Over a thousand combinations.

It took years
and I have burnt all my notes.

I'm going to see my father.
I know he will help us.

No, it's too late,
there's no time.

But he's already
helping the police.

It says right here "Chemicals were taken
from the suspect's room in Lion house

"for analysis by the eminent
Dr. Charles Lanyon."

Lion house?

Excuse me, Doctor. A visitor's
arrived. They didn't destroy it,
Sara, they didn't destroy it.

Who is it?

It's Mr. Utterson, ma'am,
he's downstairs.They have a whole bottle.

Uh, ma'am.

I'll analyze it
and reproduce it.

Shall I say it's inconvenient?

- Yes.
- It'll only take a few days.

No, No, I'll come.

Henry, wait here.

Sara, I apologize for
arriving announced

but I had to offer
my condolences.

Thank you, Jeffrey.
I'll tell Henry.

A double tragedy. I hear Mrs.
Jekyll suffered a stroke.

Yes, yes, we saw her
this afternoon.

I'm so sorry.

AS the family lawyer, if there's anything
I could do, I...You're most kind.

Perhaps we could
see each other in a day or two.

[THUDS]

What was that?
The front door?

Henry?

Henry? Wait.

VENDOR: Get the records.

Vinyl records.

All new.

Vinyl records...

[PANTING]

Oye, watch out.

- Around the back.
- All right.

There's three around the back and
two at the end of the road, sir.

Right. Wait here.

Hello, Sergeant,
any chance of an exclusive?

Wait and see.

Dr. Lanyon, there's
someone here with a note.

I told him
that you were dining.

But he told it requires
an answer.

It's from Jekyll.

He wants me to see
a patient.

I told you to wait outside.

Help me.

All right, Williams.

- Leave us.
- Are you sure, sir?

He's a referred patient,
I have to see him.

As you wish, Doctor.

Well, what is it?

Powder, where is it?

Police gave you my powder.

Where is it?

It's with the letters
over there.

I was sending it to colleagues

to find out what it contains.

What are you doing?

I am saving my neck

from the gallows.

You can't drink that,
it's poison.

[LOW GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

[SLOW BREATHING]

Charles.

Help me.

Please.

ALLEN: A fair likeness,
Mr. Utterson?

There can't be many men
like this, Inspector.

Precisely.

Last month he injures a
child outside his house

and last night,
he's out there again.

Have you seen any prowlers in
the neighborhood, Mrs. Crawford?

Nothing suspicious?

- No nothing.
- You surprise me.

Two weeks ago,
you told the local police

you were attacked and raped
in this very house.

Is there anything you'd like
to tell me, Mrs. Crawford?

It can't be.

Charles.

Please listen to me.

It's a trick.

It's not a trick.

It's meta-biological change.

It's just not possible.

But you've just seen it.

It's fast relation
on a massive scale.

But I don't know
how the cells reform.

You're insane.

No, I'm not insane.

I'm desperate, Charles.

In the name of mercy.

There's not enough time,
you must help me.

With your knowledge and mine,
we can suppress it,

reverse it.

I know we can.

- How?
- We'll analyze the powder.

How much do you have?

How much?

The green bottle.

The one from Hydrome.

I labeled it "Reflux".

You have it.
Where is it?

Henry...

Henry.

There is no more.

Help me.

Somebody please help me.

Only God can help you now.

Then why doesn't he?

Thank you, Poole.

Ma'am.

And you have nothing to add to
what you told the local police?

Nothing, Inspector.

Then I'll bid you good night.

POOLE: Dr. Jekyll,
there's someone... Dr. Jekyll.

- Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll.

Henry, Henry.

Oh, Henry, thank goodness,
I thought...

Go away. Leave me.

- I need to talk to you.
- Look.

- Oh, no.
- He's coming, Sara.

Go before he kills you.

Run while I'm still here.

In heaven's name, go.

- [GROWLING] -Henry.

- Sara, what is it?
- Go away.

You are going to die.

No. Go away.

HYDE: No.

- Yeah.
- HYDE: No.

There's someone else in there.

HYDE: No.

Leave them.

Sara, stand aside.

Leave them alone.

HYDE: No.

Inspector, Inspector Palmer.

Yes.

No.

No.

I love you, Henry.

No.

In god's name I love you.

Yes!

- [GUNSHOT] -[GASPS]

Sara.

- [GUNSHOT] -[SARA GASPS]

[WHIMPERS]

[SOBBING]

Sara, my dear.
Come away.

Come, come.

Break it down.

JEFFREY: Is he dead?

ALLEN: Shot himself. Twice.

JEFFREY: But there was
someone else.

ALLEN: No sign of break-in.

Jim,

make sure that reporter
stays outside.

And get a sheet.
I want him covered up.

JIM: Right, sir.

Suicide.

I never knew, Sara.

I never guessed the truth.

My father died
about a month later.

That's why I'm the only one
that does know.

And now, me.

Yes.

And now you.

What will you do?

Live here, with my son.

But he must never know, Jeffrey.

- Of course.
- Ever.

I...I assume
he's Henry's child.

Oh, yes.

He's Henry Jekyll's child.

Harry.
