(gentle music)

- If you would have heard
of Dr. Henry Jekyll,

you would have heard appalling things.

I tell you this, he was my friend

and he was a seeker of truth.

Radical theories,



the life altering drugs
were part of a search

to illuminate the elements
of goodness and evil,

which are inherent in
every human personality.

Henry Jekyll believed he had found a way

to control those separate elements,

not merely for the furtherment of science,

but for the relief of
human sorrow and suffering.

- He entered my life as a
brilliant young scientist

and became as dear to me as my own child.

I came to feel the
exhilaration of his knowledge

and the profundity of his suffering

as though they was mine.

I came to understand Henry Jekyll.

In a very real since his passion



is consistently reenacted
within every one of us.

(gloomy music)

- He's beyond help, Henry.

- Therefore we treat him like an animal?

He's a man, John.

He has emotional responses
as sensitive as any of ours,

but the mind,

the memory which allows him
to express those emotions

rebels now and refuses to serve him.

I know there's a means to
reintegrate mind and emotion,

there must be.

- Your colleagues tell me your theories

are infinitely more dangerous than he is.

They say you're trespassing
on hallowed ground

when you experiment with the human mind.

- My colleagues are cowards,

afraid of what they don't understand.

How can we call ourselves civilized

if we're not prepared to help him

and every wretched soul like him?

- He's lost, Henry,

lost to himself and to the world.

You will never reach him.

- I have to try.
- You have tried every--

- No, not true!

John, John, I'm at the point
of perfecting a formula,

a combination of rare drugs--

- I admire your tenacity, Henry,

but I question your philosophy.

Do you seriously believe your drugs

can change what God has set in motion?

- Yes, yes, he can be
changed, Sir Danvers.

We shall all be changed,

in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye.

(solemn music)

♫ Lost in the darkness

♫ Silence surrounds you

♫ Once there was morning

♫ Now endless night

♫ If I could reach you

♫ I'd guide you and teach you

♫ To walk from this darkness

♫ Back into the light

♫ Deep in your silence

♫ Please try to hear me

♫ I'll keep you near me

♫ Till night passes by

♫ I will find the answer

♫ I'll never desert you

♫ I promise you this

♫ Till the day that I die ♫

Goodnight, Father.

(applause)

(dramatic music)

♫ There's a face that we
wear in the cold light of day

♫ It's society's mask, it's society's way

♫ And the truth is that it's all a facade

♫ There's a face that we hide
till the nighttime appears

♫ And what's hiding inside
behind all of our fears

♫ Is our true self,
locked inside the facade

♫ Every day

♫ People in their own sweet way

♫ Like to add a coat of paint

♫ And be what they ain't

♫ That's how our little game is played

♫ Livin' out a masquerade

♫ Actin' a bizarre charade

♫ While playing the saint

♫ But there's one thing I
know and I know it for sure

♫ This disease we've got
has got no ready cure

♫ And I'm certain

♫ Life is terribly hard

♫ When your life's a facade

♫ Look around you, I have found

♫ You cannot tell by
looking at the surface

♫ What is lurking there beneath it

♫ See that face

♫ Now, I'm prepared to bet you

♫ What you see's not what you get

♫ 'Cause man's a master of deceit

♫ So what is the sinister secret

♫ The lie he will tell you is true

♫ It's that each man
you meet on the street

♫ Isn't one man but two

♫ Nearly everyone you see

♫ Like him and her and you and me

♫ Pretends to be a pillar of society

♫ A model of propriety,
sobriety, and piety

♫ Shudders at the thought of notoriety

♫ The ladies and gents here before you

♫ Which none of them ever admits

♫ May have saintly looks, but
they're sinners and crooks

♫ Hypocrites, hypocrites

♫ There are preachers who kill

♫ There are killers who preach

♫ There are teachers who lie

♫ There are liars who teach

♫ Take your pick, dear

♫ 'Cause it's all a facade

♫ If we're not one, but two

♫ Are we evil or good

♫ Do we walk the fine line
that we'd cross if we could

♫ Are we waiting

♫ To break through the facade

♫ One or two might look kinda well-to-do

♫ Ha! They're as bad as me and you

♫ Right down to their boots

♫ I'm inclined to think

♫ Half mankind

♫ Thinks the other half is blind

♫ Wouldn't be surprised to find

♫ They're all in cahoots

♫ At the end of the day

♫ They don't mean what they say

♫ They don't say what they mean

♫ They don't ever come clean

♫ And their answer

♫ Is it's all a facade,
is it's all a facade

♫ Man is not one, but two

♫ He is evil and good

♫ And he walks the fine line

♫ We'd all cross if we could

♫ It's a nightmare

♫ We can never discard

♫ So we stay on our guard

♫ Though we love the facade

♫ What's behind the facade

♫ Look behind the facade ♫

(applause)

- The board of governors of
St. Jude's Hospital is now met.

Sir Danvers Carew presiding.
- [Danvers] Here.

- Also in attendance His Grace,

the Bishop of Basingstoke.
- [Bishop] Yes.

- The Right Honorable
Sir Archibald Proops.

- [Archibald] Yes.

- [Stride] Lord Savage, Lady Beaconsfield,

and General Lord Glossop.

- Glossop, Glossop?

- Yes and yourself, Mr. Stride?

- Simon Stride, honorary secretary,

respectfully recording
the order of business.

- I'm already late for
two other board meetings.

- Let's get on with it.
(tapping)

- Henry.

Dr. Jekyll, the sole purpose
for our extraordinary meeting

is to permit you to explain
the very unusual request

that you've previously
submitted to us in writing.

(all arguing)

Please, Dr. Jekyll's case

is of particular interest
to me as you all know.

Let us, therefore, allow
him to submit his request

this one last time.

- Distinguished governors,

I'm obliged to thank you in advance

for hearing me out in this
matter of vital interest

to any enlightened member of our society.

- Dr. Jekyll, let us
dispense with the niceties

and proceed with the matter at hand.

- Certainly, Mr. Stride.

Forgive my good manners.

Distinguished governors,

in each of us there reside
two separate natures,

two distinct personalities,

one dark, one light, one good, one evil.

Now, it is the curse of mankind

that these two extremes
should be constantly at war.

(governors arguing)

- Henry, to the point.

- It is clear to me now
that we have the power

to divide this primitive duality of man

into its separate components,

to isolate what is function
from what is dysfunction

and to control these element forever.

My experiments with various
animals have convinced me

that this separation,

the behavioral control of which I speak,

is more than theoretical,
it is achievable.

I must now be permitted to test my formula

and my theory on a human subject.

- What, a human soul?

- What, to be prodded and
tested like a laboratory rat?

- Yes, madam.

Yes, gentleman, I ask that I be permitted

to select a patient to
help prove my theory

for the betterment of all mankind,

a volunteer I hope.

- A volunteer mental
patient, hmm, very good.

- A man whom society has
already abandoned as hopeless,

an inmate of this prison.

- Prison? Oh, Henry.

- And you would perform your surgery

on this pitiful creature's brain?

- No, as I've already
explained to this august body,

my treatment takes the form of
rare drugs precisely combined

and administered through
hypodermic injection.

- What?

♫ There are doomed, broken
souls in 1,000 asylums

♫ Left there to rot for the lack of a plan

♫ In the name of compassion
and medical science

♫ I can save many lives
if you give me one man

♫ I tell you now, the church
will never sanction it

♫ Sacrilege, lunacy, blasphemy, heresy

♫ Beware sir, you're
treading on dangerous ground

♫ In legal terms, I'd
say extremely unsound

♫ Your lack of humility strikes me as odd

♫ What makes you think you
have the right to play God

♫ The bishop speaks for all of us

♫ When he says you're playing God

♫ There's such a thing as ethics

♫ Over which you ride rough-shod

♫ You're a doctor, not a savior

♫ Doctor Jekyll, for a start

♫ But I judge from you behavior

♫ You can't tell the two apart

♫ Dear Mr. Stride, I am simply a scientist

♫ I have a code to which I remain true

♫ I don't presume to
the stature of moralist

♫ I leave pretensions
like that, sir, to you

♫ Henry, I've always
encouraged your enterprise

♫ And I've been hopeful
that you would succeed

♫ But given the problems
my colleagues can visualize

♫ I see no choice but for you to concede

♫ I know my fate is yours to choose

♫ But if I fail, the world will lose

♫ When I am on the threshold of success

♫ I beg you, governors, you must say yes

♫ Doctor Jekyll, enough
of your ranting, sir

♫ This is a hospital, here to save lives

♫ Do you think we would let you play havoc

♫ With all the high principles
for which it strides

♫ Do you expect us to
compromise all that we stand for

♫ Indulging your dangerous games

♫ Sacrifice all common
sense for your dubious aims

♫ Can't you see I am not playing games

♫ Just give me the opportunity

♫ This whole thing's too bizarre

♫ Open up your eyes and see

♫ This man has gone too far

♫ Unless you listen to me

♫ Doctor, please watch your tone

♫ Damn it, man, can't you
see you're on your own ♫

(governors arguing)

- If I ever needed further
justification for my work,

gentlemen, you just have provided it!

♫ Just look at what has happened here

♫ Mix anger with a touch of fear

♫ The danger's all too crystal-clear

♫ Just look at you

♫ Our darker side keeps breaking through

♫ Observe it now in me and you

♫ The evil any man can
do must be controlled

♫ I beg of you

♫ I'll show you all

♫ It can be done

♫ Here is a chance to
take charge of our fate

♫ Deep down you must
know tomorrow's too late

♫ One rule of life we cannot rearrange

♫ The only thing constant is change

♫ The only thing constant

♫ Is change ♫

(sighs)

♫ Distinguished colleagues,

♫ Your verdict, please

♫ All those in favor say "Aye"

♫ All those opposed, "Nay"

♫ Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay

♫ Positively, absolutely nay ♫

- Sir Danvers?

- I abstain.

- By five votes to none
with one abstention,

Dr. Jekyll's extraordinary
proposal is rejected.

Thank you for your time, Doctor.

- I am shocked to the core of my being.

- Well, who's going to take
me to luncheon, Bessie?

- No, Teddy,

I've heard enough demented
babbling for one day.

- This is England, you
know, not the continent.

- I'm profoundly sorry, Henry.

I did try to prepare you.

(gloomy music)

- Well, you've finally
convinced them that you're mad.

- Oh, they set themselves up
as friends of medicine, John,

friends of knowledge, but they're not,

they're hypocrites,

they're hypocrites every last one of them.

- Yes, but they're powerful hypocrites.

You should exercise greater caution.

- I can't afford caution!

- Henry!

Henry, you are obsessed by
your father's condition.

- Of course I'm obsessed, he's my father.

I draw my life from him, the
flesh upon my bones is his.

John, John, I know I can save him

and the thousands of others
who dwell in the same darkness

if they would only let me.

♫ How can I pursue the truth

♫ When they can block each step I take

♫ Henry, you have come too far

♫ Remember what you have at stake

♫ John, I know I'm right

♫ I must let my vision guide me

♫ But I'm so weary of this fight

♫ There's so little left inside me

♫ If you know that you are right

♫ Then you've got to see it through

♫ You've got to see it through

♫ Seven years ago I
started out on this alone

♫ Now it's alone I'll see
it through to its conclusion

♫ Who were they to judge what I am doing

♫ They know nothing of the
endless possibilities I seek

♫ It's ludicrous I'm
bound by their decision

♫ Seems vision is a
word they've never heard

♫ If it mattered less, I'd
treat them with derision

♫ It's absurd

♫ And yet the fact remains

♫ Those bastards hold the reins ♫

(applause)

(energetic music)

♫ If you live around here

♫ You need cash in the bank

♫ 'Cause the houses 'round here

♫ Are all flashy and swank

♫ And the front bit

♫ Is what's called a facade

♫ If you live around here
you need lots of panache

♫ If you live in town, dear

♫ Then you must cut a dash

♫ 'Tisn't hard, dear, to create a facade

♫ Here tonight it's festive

♫ But the guests are getting restive

♫ 'Cause the guest of
honor's causing a dilemma

♫ Dr. Jekyll's tardy for
his own engagement party

♫ His betrothal to Sir
Danver's daughter, Emma ♫

(lighthearted music)

- Absolute waste of time

and who does this Jekyll
fellow think he is?

- Impertinence like that in the army

would have earned him a good flogging.

- The perfect way to stamp out
any nasty signs of progress,

aye General?
- Absolutely.

- He's tinkering with a man's
soul and I don't like it.

He's lucky we're living in modern times.

Today's penalties for heresy
are not what they should be.

- Then he should thank the good lord

that we have you to represent
modern times, Your Grace.

- If Jekyll's as clever as you say he is,

what's he doing trying to
save paupers and madmen?

What possible use is that?

I've lived in St. James for 60 years

and I've never even seen a
pauper let alone a madman.

- I think he's mad, if you must know.

Danvers, we're talking
about your future son-in-law

and I think you're mad to
let him marry your daughter.

- That's not father's
decision, Lady Beaconsfield,

it's mine.
- Don't worry, Bessie.

Whatever your opinion of
him as a scientist may be,

Emma assures me Henry Jekyll
is impeccable husband material.

- Well for a start, it
is less than impeccable

to be late for one's own engagement party.

Shows a remarkable lack of style.

- Yes. (clears throat)

Bessie.

- Comments on style should never be made

by those who have none.

- (laughs) Miss Carew.

- Mr. Utterson, thank you
so much for being here.

- You are a gracing breath of fresh air.

(gasps)

♫ Emma Carew, can this be you

♫ What kind of man is this you've taken

♫ Can you not see the kind
of life that this would be

♫ You are mistaken

♫ Time to awaken before it's too late

♫ Before you forever determine your fate

♫ But, Simon, you knew

♫ I had to be free

♫ What I choose to do is decided by me ♫

- Emma!

♫ From the day my mother died

♫ My father, full of good intentions

♫ Treated me as though
I were a young child

♫ Maybe his idea was just
to wait until I grew up

♫ And then look at me and
I hope that I'd be her

♫ It's easy to accept that from a father

♫ He'd rather things
remain the way they were

♫ But when it comes to marriage

♫ I must pick whom I prefer

♫ I am not the weak young
thing you're seeking, Simon

♫ Someone 17, obedient, and sweet

♫ I am not the protegee
to waste your time on

(gasps)

♫ I'm complete

♫ In Henry's eyes I see

♫ What I am meant to be

♫ Henry Jekyll, you're a devil

♫ You have robbed us of
London's most lovely girl

♫ I could turn to drink
when I stop to think ♫

- What?

♫ Emma's marrying a
doctor instead of an earl

♫ Poor girl ♫

(laughs)

- Ah, the late Dr. Jekyll.

- My apologies, Sir Danvers.

- Nothing to forgive, dear boy.

Like Emma, I'm learning to anticipate you.

We're sure to invite your wedding guests

for the day after the ceremony

just to make sure the
groom is in attendance.

- Never fear, sir, I'll be there.

The six weeks till the wedding

will be the longest of my life.

- Well your half hour this afternoon

with the governors of St. Judes

was certainly the longest of my life.

- I have to take every
opportunity I am given, sir,

to state my beliefs.

- Even though you antagonize
the established authority

in the process?

- But your friends are not
the established authority,

merely the established prejudice.

- My friend Dr. Jekyll is a
man of honor, Sir Danvers,

but not of diplomacy.

- Ah, I was not aware the
two were incompatible.

- Ladies and gentlemen, the fireworks.

- Fireworks! Ladies and
gentleman, do come along.

Mr. Utterson, do you enjoy fireworks?

- If they're unavoidable.

- Yes, they are.

Bishop, come along and
have a glass of port.

- Yes.

(solemn music)

- Miss Carew.

- Dr. Jekyll.

- Are you angry with me?

- No.
- You should be.

- I'm just happy you're here.

- Well I try never to
miss any social occasion

attended by Lady Beaconsfield.

Tell me, is there a Lord Beaconsfield?

- He died 30 years ago.

- Sensible fellow.

(giggles)

Dearest Emma, you realize
you're setting yourself up

for a lifetime of these aggravations?

- Yes, I realize that.

- I cannot live by the same
old clock other people do.

- I realize that too.

- And in all good
conscience, I must advise you

I love you far too much to have you suffer

this sort of life I have to offer.

♫ I must go on with the
work I'm committed to

♫ How can I not when my theories are true

♫ And I will prove, if
I'm ever permitted to

♫ Things are not wrong
just because they are new

♫ Henry, I adore you

♫ Always have done, always will do

♫ And your dreams are mine

♫ I will always understand

♫ However hard the path you've planned

♫ Our lives will intertwine

♫ Who knows where my work will lead me

♫ Nowhere where you will not need me

♫ Emma, please I beg you, heed me

♫ Just don't leave me on my own

♫ The only thing I fear is the unknown

♫ When this all began

♫ We knew there'd be a price to pay

♫ Too late now to turn away

♫ We have come too far

♫ I know we'll find a way

♫ Sometimes I see past the horizon

♫ Sure of my way where I am going

♫ But where's the prize I have my eyes on

♫ Where

♫ There is just no knowing

♫ And when despair tears me in two

♫ Who can I turn to but you

♫ You know who I am

♫ Take me as I am

♫ Look in my eyes

♫ Who do you see there

♫ Someone you know

♫ Or just a stranger

♫ If you are wise, you will see me there

♫ Love is the only danger

♫ Love meaning me

♫ Love meaning you

♫ We'll make that one dream come true

♫ You know who I am

♫ Take me as I am

♫ Though fate won't
always do what we desire

♫ Still we can set the world on fire

♫ Give me your hand

♫ Give me your heart

♫ Swear to me we'll never part

♫ We'll never part

♫ You know who I am
♫ You know who I am

♫ This is who I am

♫ This is who I am

♫ Take me as I am ♫

(gentle music)

(applause)

- Emma.

- Father.

- You're being asked for.

- So are you, Dr. Jekyll.

Though I can't imagine why.

- I fancy people are a bit curious

to know why the two main
reasons for this party

are resolutely hiding from it.

- Come along, Henry.

Let's test your theories

against these other lesser fireworks.

(mysterious music)

- I hope you gave him
the scolding he deserves.

- Did mother's scolding ever change you?

(laughs)

- I'm not alone in
finding Henry's behavior

difficult to tolerate.

- Well you don't have
to tolerate it, father.

He's marrying me, not you.

(laughs)

♫ Emma, don't you understand

♫ It's you that I'm concerned for

♫ Father, don't be, you
should be concerned for him

♫ He's the one in need

♫ I'm only trying to protect you

♫ What else would you have your father do

♫ I think I would die if
any harm should come to you

♫ I'm scared, my child,
because I'm going to lose you

♫ I find it very hard to let you go

♫ Father

♫ If you try to, you could never lose me

♫ Darling father

♫ I still love you more
than you will ever know

♫ But if we want our love to grow

♫ I know, in time, I have to let you go

♫ We mustn't be afraid of letting go ♫

- Oh, I love you, father.

- I love you.

(romantic music)

(fireworks whistling)

(applause)

(energetic music)

♫ Here in London East End

♫ It's the pits of the earth

♫ Where you won't find a friend

♫ Where your life has no worth

♫ Death is waiting

♫ Fate is marking your card ♫

- Pleasure, gentlemen, do come again.

- It's what we're here for!

♫ You've got one chance in five

♫ They're the odds you must beat

♫ If you want to survive

♫ So be fast at your feet

♫ Life is hard here ♫

- Find her, find her
and get her in here now!

♫ It's the devil's backyard ♫

- [Woman] Where were you?

- Oh I'm sorry, Gwenny.

I know I'm late, but just--

- The others have been waiting for you.

Get in there now and account
for yourself to the Spider.

- Just let me explain, I'll tell you--

- Because of you, girl!

- Are we here?

Is this it?

Oh my goodness.

- Welcome to The Red Rat, gentlemen.

How good of you to pay us a call.

♫ Henry Jekyll, you're a devil

♫ Leading friends to
a life of debauchery ♫

- Mr. Utterson, is it not?

- Mr. Utterson.

Why John.

- Why John.
- Why John.

- As you can see, Gwenny,

these two youngsters desperately
need something to drink.

- Leading friends to a life of debauchery.

- I'm determined to
drink and I will I think.

(laughter)

- [Man] Come along.

- John, why on earth
have you brought me here?

- You need the relaxation, Henry.

- He's right, Henry, you need relaxation.

Table one and champagne
for Mr. Utterson's party.

The show is about to start, Henry.

You will love the new girl. (laughs)

(playful jazz music)

- [Man] Wonderful!
- [Woman] Nice job.

(applause)

(people chattering)

- Oh, you know the only
reason we don't have rats

in this place is they
wouldn't be caught dead here.

- [Woman] Absolutely right.

- Well, well, well, Lucy,
it's about time you got here.

- Oh look who it is, her royal majesty,

queen of The Red Rat. (laughs)

- You are in trouble, girl.

We're running late and the
Spider is in a foul mood.

- Oh well that will make a nice change.

- Oh don't upset him, Lucy.

You know what the Spider can do.

- Oh I suppose you've
been up in Hyde Park again

listening to all them speeches.

- And what's wrong with that?

I like to listen.

I just want to learn.

- Lucy, you're such a fool,

filling your head with all that rubbish.

- All you need to learn is to be on time.

Now you get your ass out onto that stage.

You got two minutes.

I don't know who you girls--

- [Girls] Think you are!

- Think you are.

- Well don't worry, Gwenny, nor do we.

(laughter)

- I'd rather be nobody than her.

- Ah, chin up, Lucy.

You're the nicest nobody I know. (laughs)

♫ Look at me and tell me who I am

♫ Why I am, what I am

♫ Call me a fool and it's true I am

♫ I don't know who I am

♫ It's such a shame

♫ I'm such a sham

♫ No one knows who I am

♫ Am I the face of the future

♫ Am I the face of the past

♫ Am I the one who must finish

♫ Last

♫ Look at me and tell me who I am

♫ Why am, what I am

♫ Will I survive

♫ Who will give a damn

♫ If no one knows who I am ♫

- Come on now.

♫ Nobody knows

♫ Not even you

♫ No one knows who I ♫

- [Gwenny] (claps) Lucy, on stage!

(applause)

(gentle music)

(people chattering)

(applause)

♫ Good and evil and their merits

♫ Men have argued through
history as well they should

♫ My philosophy

♫ Any child can see

♫ Good is evil

♫ And therefore all evil is good

(playful music)

♫ How do you tell evil from good ♫

- [Man] Tell us, darling.

♫ Evil does well

♫ Good, not so good

♫ Evil's the one that is free everywhere

♫ Good is the one that they sell

♫ You must decide which
is heaven, which is hell

♫ Good men maintain evil's a curse

♫ Evil's a curse

♫ But it's plain good's even worse

♫ Evil's the one that
they tell you to shun

♫ Good is the one to embrace

♫ Say that and Satan will
laugh right in your face

♫ The battle between good and evil

♫ Goes back to the start

♫ Adam and Eve and the apple tore it apart

♫ The key thing about good and evil

♫ Each man has to choose

♫ Heaven and hell is a
hell of a gamble to lose

♫ But as I peruse

♫ This world we abuse

♫ It's hell that we choose

♫ And heaven must lose

♫ Evil is everywhere,
good doesn't have a prayer

♫ Good is commendable, evil dependable

♫ Evil is viable, good's unreliable

♫ Good may be thankable, evil is bankable

♫ Evil's for me, you can have good

♫ It doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood

♫ It's easier by far than
the way that things are

♫ To remain good and evil

♫ Than try to be evil

♫ And good

♫ It's easier by far

♫ To remain good and evil

♫ Than try to be evil and good ♫

(applause and cheering)

(slaps skin)
(yells)

- It has nothing to do with us.

- Has to--

- Sit down, you'll only
make it worse for the girl.

- Where were you and why were you late?

- What does it matter?

It won't happen again. (gasps)

- If it does, it'll happen to a dead girl

and I mean that.

- I know you do.

- Lucky for you, I'm
in a good mood tonight.

I'll be up to your room later on

to show you just how good.

- Lucky me.

- Be good to him, Looce.

Some knows quality when
they sees it. (chuckles)

(solemn music)

- I wonder, is there anything I can do?

- Yes, you can tell me

if the rest of my face is still there.

- Appears to be.

It's a lovely face to look after.

Please.

I'd like to help you if I could.

You helped me tonight.

- I did?
- [Henry] Yes.

- How?

- With your song, Good and Evil.

Made me think, we all do have
choices to make, don't we?

- Some of us do.

So, what's your specialty then, hmm?

- I'm a doctor.

(laughs)

Tonight...

Tonight you made me realize I
could be the patient as well.

- (laughs) You're serious?

- Yes.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- No, no, no, it's quite alright.

- It all sounds a bit weird to me.

But whatever makes you happy.

♫ Here's to the night

♫ Here's to romance

♫ To those unafraid taking a chance

♫ I can see you're not up to the chase

♫ But if you're ever in need

♫ I am the girl in this

♫ Well this is the place

♫ Come to me

♫ It's getting late, I have to go

♫ Any time, you never know

♫ You need a friend ♫

- And I mean simply that, friend.

♫ Henry Jekyll, you're a devil

♫ There's no end to your
life of debauchery ♫

- John, I'm going, you?

- Yes, certainly.

- Wait, wait, Henry,
I was joking. (laughs)

♫ If any time, you never know

♫ You need a friend ♫

- What the bleeding
hell is wrong with you?

That gent was trying to be nice to you!

How many like him you think
there is hanging on the vine?

(gentle music)

- Oh my god!

(laughter)

Why don't you sing for me?

Sing for me.

Look!

(laughter)

- Thank you for the relaxation,
if that's what it was.

- You never stop brooding
over your damnable theories

for one single moment.

- I did discover something
essential tonight, old friend.

- What's that?

- My volunteer.

- Henry!

You can't possibly.

Where are you gong?

- [Henry] My offices, I'm
going to work tonight.

I must.
- You need to rest, Henry.

Henry, you must.

(gentle music)

Sir?

Promise me you're not contemplating

a volunteer from The Red Rat.

- Good heavens, John,

you think I'm such an
unprincipled character.

Poole, send him straight
to bed, he must have rest.

(sighs) So must I.

I'm going home.
- Quite right, sir.

I'll do what I can.

Anything more you need, sir?

- Stir the fire, Poole.

- Of course, sir.

- And then go to bed.

I won't be needing you
anymore this evening.

(solemn music)

- Goodnight, sir.

- Poole?

- Sir?

- You knew my father in his best days.

His mind and spirit were
extremely strong, weren't they?

- He was the finest
gentleman I ever knew, sir.

- I must do it for his sake.

- [Poole] Sir?

- Nothing, Poole.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight, sir.

♫ Now there is no choice

♫ I must put aside

♫ The fears I feel inside

♫ There's no place to hide

♫ So it's come to this

♫ One great golden chance

♫ That only I can take

♫ When everything I've
fought for is at stake

♫ To make the mark

♫ That only I can make

♫ This is the moment

♫ This is the day

♫ When I send all my doubts
and demons on their way

♫ Every endeavor I have made ever

♫ Is coming into play

♫ It's here and now today

♫ This is the moment

♫ This is the time

♫ When the momentum and
the moment are in rhyme

♫ Give me this moment

♫ This precious chance

♫ I'll gather up my past

♫ And make some sense at last

♫ This is the moment

♫ When all I've done

♫ All of the dreaming, scheming,
and screaming become one

♫ This is the day

♫ See it sparkle and shine

♫ When all I've lived for becomes mine

♫ For all these years

♫ I've faced the world alone

♫ And now the time has come

♫ To prove to them I've made it on my own

♫ This is the moment

♫ My final test

♫ Destiny beckoned

♫ And I've never reckoned second best

♫ I won't look down

♫ I will not fall

♫ This is the moment

♫ The sweetest moment of them all

♫ This is the moment

♫ Damn all the odds

♫ This day or never

♫ I'll sit forever with the gods

♫ When I look back

♫ I will always recall

♫ Moment for moment

♫ This was the moment

♫ The sweetest moment of them all ♫

(applause)

(gloomy music)

- September 14th, 3:56 a.m.

I started this alone and
I must finish it alone.

I realize now I must use myself

as the subject of the experiment.

♫ I must be wise

♫ I must try to analyze each change in me

♫ Everything I see

♫ How will it be

♫ Will I see the world
through different eyes

(solemn music)

♫ Like a warning light, glimmering in red

♫ Like crimson bloodshed,
shimmering in red

♫ Beautiful and strange

♫ See the colors change before my eyes

♫ See how they dance and they sparkle

♫ Like diamonds at night

♫ Leading me out of the darkness

♫ And into the light ♫

(slaps skin)

3:58 a.m. it is done.

I've injected five centiliters
of the newly fused formula.

Salty, bitter taste, stings the gums.

Ah! (sighs)

Warm in the gullet.

Oh, a prickling heat spreading
strongly through my veins.

A lightheadedness.

Slight feeling of euphoria. (chuckles)

No noticeable behavioral
differences. (giggles)

(sighs)

♫ Now the die is cast

♫ Nothing left to lose

♫ Time alone will prove my theories true

♫ I'll show the world ♫

Oh dear god, oh god.

What is this?

(frightening music)

♫ Oh, something is happening

♫ I can't explain

♫ Something inside me, a breathtaking pain

♫ Devours, consumes me
and drives me insane ♫

(yells)

Oh god! (groans)

♫ Suddenly, uncontrolled

♫ Something is taking hold

♫ Suddenly, agony

♫ Filling me, killing me

♫ Oh, suddenly out of breath

♫ What is this, is this death

♫ Suddenly, can it be in agony

♫ Who is this creature that I see ♫

(groaning)

Four o'clock and all is well.

An unexpected development.

Free!

(dramatic music)

♫ What is this feeling of power and drive

♫ I've never felt it, felt so alive

♫ Where does this feeling of power derive

♫ Making me know why I'm alive

♫ Like the night, it's a secret

♫ Sinister dark and unknown

♫ Oh, I do not know what I seek

♫ Yet I'll seek it alone

♫ I have a thirst I cannot deprive

♫ Never have I felt so alive

♫ There is no battle I couldn't survive

♫ Feeling like this, feeling alive

♫ Like the moon, an enigma

♫ Lost and alone in the night

♫ Damned by some heavenly stigma

♫ But blazing with light

♫ It's a feeling of being alive

♫ Full of evil, but truly alive

♫ It's a truth that cannot be denied

♫ It's a feeling of being Edward Hyde ♫

(applause)

- I'm so sorry, Miss Carew.

Perhaps next week.

- No, Poole, I won't come again.

Not until Dr. Jekyll asks for me.

- Emma.

- [Emma] Father.

- Oh, he asks about you
constantly, Miss Carew,

but he's not seen
anybody, not for weeks now

because of his work.
- Because of his work.

Yes, I know.

Show him the flowers, Poole,

and the nourishing things I brought.

If you can get his attention,

say they are to remind him

that there is more in
his life than his work,

myself for example.

- Emma, so you won't come
here again until he emerges?

- I won't.

- This is absurd.

He's sacrificing everything
valuable in his life

to this experiment.

- The experiment is the most
valuable thing in his life.

- Yes, after you.

- No!

No, father, before me.

Now, I understand that.

Are you coming along with
me or are you staying?

- I am coming along of course.

I'm just trying to persuade Mr. Utterson

that he's wasting his time.

- I did not wish to alarm Miss Carew, sir,

and it is hardly my place
to criticize the doctor,

but for more than a week now

he's been locked in that laboratory.

I'm instructed to leave his
meals at the door and go away.

- He's been alone in there all this time?

- Alone, sir?

No.

- But if you're forbidden to admit anyone.

- I did not admit him, sir.

The doctor must have let him in.

I would not have admitted
a man of that sort

to the doctor's home.

I saw him here just once
standing in front of the fire,

staring at his reflection.

He told me to clear out

and not disturb him and the doctor again.

But later, that same night--

- What?

- I heard the doctor, or someone,

in the laboratory there crying, weeping.

The strangest sound you ever heard, sir.

- [Henry] Poole!

- Sir?

- I have been ringing
for a quarter of an hour!

(breathing heavily)

Go to Mr. Bisset, the pharmacist,

and fetch me back these drugs.

Now!

John!
- Henry.

Good lord, what is the matter with you?

- Now!

- You look as if you're in
the grip of the very devil.

- There's something you must do for me.

(gentle music)

John, there are three letters here,

one for Emma, one for her
father, and one for you.

If I should be taken ill

or have to go away for awhile

without otherwise alerting you,

everything you will want to
know are in these letters.

- If you should go away?

What are you saying?

I won't accept these.

- John!

John, you're my lawyer.

More importantly, you're my friend.

You must do this for me.

- And you, my dear Henry, must
reexamine your priorities.

♫ You have your work and nothing more

♫ You are possessed

♫ What is your demon

♫ You've never been this way before

♫ You've lost the fire
you built your dream on

♫ There's something strange,
there's something wrong

♫ I see a change

♫ It's like when hope dies

♫ I, who have known you for so long

♫ I see the pain in your eyes

♫ There was a time

♫ Have I become

♫ My work and nothing more

♫ I know that's not

♫ What I'm living for

♫ Father, you know Henry
won't just walk away

♫ The only way he knows is straight ahead

♫ Emma, you've not heard
a single word I've said

♫ My fear is he's in over his head

♫ He could lose control

♫ And that I dread

♫ There has been talk

♫ They say he's gone too far

♫ He's locked himself
away in his own world

♫ Pursuing this insanity

♫ It is his work

♫ It's more than work

♫ He is obsessed, the man is driven

♫ Just give him time, I ask no more

♫ His work's a crime to be forgiven

♫ There's something strange

♫ Just give him time

♫ Unless I'm blind

♫ I see a change of a bizarre kind

♫ He's chasing dreams he'll never find

♫ Father

♫ Who are they to judge what I am doing

♫ They know nothing of the
endless possibilities I see

♫ Time to awaken before it's too late

♫ There's not at all, don't be unkind

♫ The problem's all in your mind

♫ I pray I may

♫ Henry, I will pray for you

♫ I pray he may find his way

♫ I pray every day that
you may find your way

♫ Find his way ♫

(all singing)

(applause)

- A young lady to see you, sir.

- Send her away, Poole.

- Indeed, sir.

She's dressed little enough like a lady.

No doubt she found your card

dropped on the street somewhere.

- My card?

- Yes, sir.

- I will see her now.

- Yes, sir.

(lighthearted bells)

(clears throat)

- Good morning, miss.

- Good morning.

- Miss?

- Lucy.
- [Henry] Lucy.

- Lucy Harris.

I'm the one that you and
your friend met that night.

- Oh yes, I didn't.

Yes, I remember.

Please, sit down.

(clears throat)

(springs squeaking)

(giggles)

What brings you here?

- You said if I ever needed a friend.

- Yes, I remember.

(solemn music)

(clear throat)

Good god.

- Pretty, isn't it?

- Who on earth would do such a thing?

- A real English gentleman.

Did a lovely job, didn't he?

- Just one moment.

(groans)

- Some men are real skillful
when it comes to causing pain.

- [Henry] You didn't go to the police?

- (chuckles) The police?

A girl like me making a complaint

about a man like him, a rich man?

(chuckles) That's funny.

I won't forget his name in a hurry though.

Hyde.

Edward Hyde.

- Why come to me?

You have family, don't you?

- No, I ain't got no family.

You gave me your card.

- Yes, yes, of course, I remember.

- I've never had someone like
you be nice to me before.

- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

(solemn music)

♫ Sympathy, tenderness

♫ Warm as the summer

♫ Offer me their embrace

♫ Friendliness, gentleness

♫ Strangers to my life

♫ They are there in his face

♫ Goodness and sweetness

♫ And kindness abound in this place ♫

- There.

You should feel more comfortable.

- I feel like a lady.

- You are a lady, most extraordinary lady.

♫ I am in love with the
things that I see in his face

♫ It's a memory I know
time will never erase ♫

- Good morning.

♫ I peer through windows

♫ Watch life go by

♫ Dream of tomorrow and wonder why

♫ The past is holding
me, keeping life at bay

♫ I wander, lost in yesterday

♫ Wanting to fly

♫ But scared to try

♫ But if someone like you

♫ Found someone like me

♫ Then suddenly, nothing
would ever be the same

♫ My heart would take wing

♫ And I'd feel so alive

♫ If someone like you found me

♫ So many secrets I've longed to share

♫ All I have needed is someone there

♫ To help me see a world

♫ I've never seen before

♫ A love to open every door

♫ To set me free

♫ So I can soar

♫ If someone like you

♫ Found someone like me

♫ Then suddenly, nothing
would ever be the same

♫ There'd be a new way to live

♫ And a new life to love

♫ If someone like you found me

♫ Oh, if someone like you

♫ Found someone like me

♫ Then suddenly, nothing
would ever be the same

♫ My heart would take wing

♫ And I'd feel so alive

♫ If someone like you

♫ Loved me

♫ Loved me

♫ Loved me ♫

(applause)

- I hope everything was to
your satisfaction, your grace.

- Very nice, yes.

- Sweet little girl, isn't
she plenty of potential?

- Very, very nice, yes.

I'd, um, like to see her again.

Next week?

- Certainly, your grace, happy to oblige.

Must make a pleasant change
from all your charity work.

But of course we do not do
it for charity. (chuckles)

- Oh yes.

- Wednesday alright?

- Wednesday very, very nice, yes.

Goodbye for now, my dear.

- Say cheerio to his grace.

Never mind her.

She's stunned by your
generosity, that is all.

Till Wednesday then.

(speaks foreign language)

(laughter)

- [Man] Wednesday, dearest.

- Your grace.

Warms the heart to see
that romance still blossoms

even in the sewers of London.

- Who are you?
- What a pretty pair,

the Romeo of the Cloth and
the Juliet of the Gutter,

though perhaps Juliet a trifle young

for such a disgusting old Romeo.

- How dare you, sir.

Do you know who I am?

- Yes, your grace.

Yes, I know exactly who you are.

Emanate churchman and philanthropist,

friend to those in need,

particularly of the female
gender, only years still tender.

- Let me pass you, fool!

- Who does not know Rupert
14th Bishop of Basingstoke?

(yells)

Our fair city's most distinguished,

degenerate, obscene, corrupt,

and malignant hypocrite!

Hypocrite, hypocrite, hypocrite!

♫ Animals trapped behind bars at the zoo

♫ Need to run rampant and free

♫ Predators live on the prey they pursue

♫ This time the predator's me

♫ Lust, like a raging desire

♫ Fills my whole soul with its curse

♫ Burning with primitive fire

♫ Berserk and perverse

♫ Tonight I'll plunder heaven blind

♫ Steal from all the gods

♫ Tonight I'll take from all mankind

♫ Conquer all the odds

♫ And I feel I'll live on forever

♫ With Satan himself by my side

♫ And I'll show the world
that tonight and forever

♫ The name to remember's
the name Edward Hyde

♫ What a feeling to be so alive

♫ I have never seen me so alive

♫ Such a feeling of evil inside

♫ That's the feeling
of being Edward Hyde ♫

(applause and cheering)

(dramatic music)

- My friend Jekyll
continued his dark journey.

He would not tell us where he was going.

Perhaps he no longer knew himself.

The burden he placed on me was unbearable.

I was a blind witness,

allowed to hear his cries of anguish,

forbidden to seek him, to
understand, or to help.

- Forbidden to see or
speak to him for weeks.

Dr. Jekyll had become like a son to me,

not merely a presumptive son-in-law.

Some kind of dark web
was being cast around him

and those connected to
his work at St. Judes.

I could not allow Emma and Henry

to get caught up in that web.

(booming)

♫ Read about the hideous murder

♫ Profane, religious murder

♫ That poor old bishop, what a shock

♫ Seen walking with his daughter

♫ A moment prior to slaughter

♫ The shepherd tending to his flock

♫ He died in London slum

♫ A slave to martyrdom

♫ He died without complaint

♫ He should be made a saint

♫ He's gone back home to God

- That's another one of us gone, Teddy.

Irreplaceable.

- General Glossop.

- [Glossop] Yes?

- I am happy to inform you, sir,

you are relieved of your duties.

- What?

- All of them.

- Damned impertinence.

Who in hell-fire are you?

- Damned?

Hell-fire?

Exactly!

(breathing laboriously)

- [Henry] Bisset!

- Dr. Jekyll, what are
you doing here at this--

- Do you have the things
Poole ordered for me?

The drugs?

- All but two of them, sir.

You know, I could lose my license.

- When I can I have the others?

- Tomorrow night.
- Tomorrow?

- Yes, sir, what are they for?

- It's none of your bloody business.

- No, sir.

Of course not, sir.

Are you alright, Dr. Jekyll?

You don't seem to be yourself.

- I've been better,
Bisset, I've been better.

♫ London has a killer on the loose.

♫ Could be a gang

- Outrageous!

When I order a decent claret,
I expect a decent claret.

- Oh Archie, you wouldn't
know a decent claret

if it poured itself down
your shirt. (giggles)

- I certainly would.

- Then why do you always
serve that cheap swill

when we dine at your place?

(woman laughs)

- Well, well, well, if it
isn't faith, hope, and charity.

- You!

- And who in perdition are you, sir?

- No one you would know, Sir Archibald,

Lady Beaconsfield, Your Lordship.

- Bessie, get inside.

- Sweet how you hypocrites hang together.

- Scandalous.

Step aside you, you creature.

This is my final admonition.

- And this is mine.

(grunts)

(gloomy music)

(yelling)

- Call the police!

- Bessie, my love,

you really shouldn't wear
your diamonds on the street.

You never know whom you may encounter.

- Please!

- Please, that's a hard a
word for you to pronounce.

Isn't it, milady?

Probably the first time
you've ever used it.

(dramatic music)

You're traveling?

- No, escape anyways.

I only wish I could persuade
Dr. Jekyll to do the same.

- Where will you go, Lord Savage?

- Oh, I, I'm telling that to no one.

Aberdeen, actually.

Now, I, I, I don't know
what you heard, Danvers.

But I did everything I could.

I tried to save them, all of them.

Tried like hell.

- Of course you did.

That's a matter between you and God.

God knows and you know that you tried.

Have a safe journey.

- October 6th, 10:45 p.m.

We are here...

We are here alone.

Terrible, more terrible than
any beast stalking its prey.

- What do you want?

- Henry.

- Who let you in here?

- Who let me in here?

- [Henry] Who?

- Yes, the laboratory door was unlocked.

I was desperate for some word.

- And you thought you would
find it spying on my journal!

- Henry.

Henry, look at me.

I cannot believe that either
one of us has become so altered

that we aren't able to
have a civil conversation.

I understand your work is
unprecedented and painful.

I see what it is doing to you.

To us.

And yet I know you must move forward.

You believe in this so strongly.

- It's gone beyond, Emma.

It's like an addiction.

And yet the truth, oh god,

the truth is inside there somewhere.

I can't explain it to
myself much less to you,

but I know the truth is in there.

- There's no need to explain anything.

You never promised me the journey
would be easy or pleasant,

my dearest,

only that we would take it together.

♫ There we found a perfect place

♫ Hope was still an open door

♫ Once upon a dream

♫ And I was unafraid

♫ The dream was so exciting

♫ But now I see it fade

♫ And I am here alone

♫ Once upon a dream

♫ You were heaven-sent to me

♫ Was it never meant to be

♫ Was it just a dream

♫ Could we begin again

♫ Once upon a dream ♫

(applause)

- Emma.

Don't abandon me.

In God's name, I've never needed you more

and I do love you.

- I know that.

I will wait for you however long it takes.

And I will pray for you.

♫ When you need me

♫ If you need me

♫ You know where I'll be ♫

(gloomy music)

- October 7th.

1:30 a.m.

The experiment is out of control.

The beast has taken a heavy toll,

not only on me who can yet be saved,

but on others who cannot.

The transformations are starting

to recur of their own accord.

John!

John, please, leave me alone.

I told you I must work.

- You must give me some answers first.

What is the meaning of this document?

Who is Edward Hyde?

- [Henry] Wha?

- Why in God's name
would you bequeath to him

everything that you possess?

- Those letters were only
to be opened in the event--

- Only if you were to
go away or became ill!

You have gone away, Henry,
and clearly you are ill.

Who is Edward Hyde?

- A colleague inextricably
involved in the experiment.

If I should be unable to complete it,

he should have the
wherewithal to finish my work.

- If I am to act as your
lawyer and your friend,

you must tell me everything.

- I have.
- [John] Henry, please.

- I've told you everything.
- [John] Henry!

- Everything I can comprehend.

Everything I can comprehend myself.

John, and now I must ask
you an even greater favor.

- Tell me!

(gentle piano music)

- Bisset, the chemist, has
acquired a quantity of rare drugs

for my immediate use.

They are to be delivered to your offices

the instant he has them.
- No!

- And then you must bring them here.

Please, no further questions!

John, John, I dare not leave this room

until the next step is accomplished.

You must trust me a few more days.

- I trust you with my life, Henry.

I suppose I must trust you with your own.

- Yes, old friend, my
life is in the balance,

many lives are in the
balance, all our lives.

His life too.

He wreaks his vengeance
on a contemptible world,

then disappears within
me like a stain of breath

upon a mirror.

He's found the perfect hiding place.

He is cruelty incarnate,

everything I've wanted to
eradicate from man's nature

and yet...

♫ So wonderful is his love of life ♫

(gentle music)

♫ What streak of madness lies inside me

♫ What is the truth my fears conceal

♫ What evil force makes Edward Hyde of me

♫ What darker side of me does he reveal

♫ What is this strange obsession

♫ That's tearing me apart

♫ Some strange deranged expression

♫ Of what's in my heart

♫ Am I the man that I appear to be

♫ Or am I someone I don't know

♫ Is there some monster drawing near to me

♫ Becoming clear to me

♫ Will what I fear to be

♫ Be so

♫ I sit and watch the rain

♫ And see my tears run down the windowpane

♫ I sit and watch the sky

♫ And I can hear it breathe a sign

♫ I think of him

♫ How we were

♫ And when I think of him

♫ Then I remember

♫ Remember

♫ In his eyes I can see

♫ Where my heart longs to be

♫ In his eyes I see a gentle glow

♫ And that's where I'll be safe, I know

♫ Safe in his arms

♫ Close to his heart

♫ But I don't know quite where to start

♫ By looking in his eyes

♫ Will I see beyond tomorrow

♫ By looking in his eyes

♫ Will I see beyond the sorrow

♫ That I feel

♫ Will his eyes reveal to me

♫ Promises or lies

♫ But he can't conceal from me

♫ The love in his eyes

♫ I know their every look, his eyes

♫ They're like an open book, his eyes

♫ But most of all

♫ The look that hypnotized me

♫ If I'm wise

♫ I will walk away

♫ And gladly

♫ But sadly, I'm not wise

♫ It's hard to talk away

♫ The memories that you prize

♫ Love is worth forgiving for

♫ Now I realize

♫ Everything worth living for

♫ Is there, in his eyes

♫ Love is worth forgiving for

♫ Now I realize

♫ Now I realize everything
worth living for

♫ Is there

♫ In his eyes ♫

(applause)

- [Man] Gentleman here, Lucy.

Says he's a friend of yours.

(wind whistling)

(gasps)
(dramatic music)

- For a moment I thought
it was somebody else.

- A moment it almost was.

I have some rather sad news, Lucy.

I must go away for awhile.

Friend and I have a
little dispute to settle.

- Be nice to him, Lucy, be nice.

- What?

Glad to see me go?
- Oh no, sir.

- I can always tell when
you are lying, Lucy.

- When do you come back?

- Oh, it shouldn't take long

and I'll know exactly where
you are every minute I'm away

and God help you if you're
not here waiting for me

when I return.

♫ I feel your fingers

♫ Cold on my shoulder

♫ Your chilling touch
as it runs down my spine

♫ Watching your eyes

♫ As they invade my soul

♫ Forbidden pleasures

♫ I'm afraid to make mine

♫ At the touch of your hand

♫ At the sound of your voice

♫ At the moment your eyes meet mine

♫ I am out of my mind, I am out of control

♫ Full of feelings I can't define

♫ It's a sin with no name

♫ Like a hand in a flame

♫ And the senses proclaim

♫ It's a dangerous game

♫ A darker dream

♫ That has no ending

♫ That's so unreal

♫ You believe that it's true

♫ A dance of death

♫ Out of a mystery tale

♫ The frightened princess

♫ Doesn't know what to do

♫ Will the ghosts go away
♫ No

♫ Will she will them to stay
♫ No

♫ Either way, there's no way to win

♫ All I know is I'm lost
♫ No

♫ And I'm counting the cost
♫ No

♫ My emotions are in a spin
♫ No

♫ I don't who's to blame

♫ It's a crime and a shame

♫ But it's true all the same

♫ It's a dangerous game

♫ No one speaks

♫ Not one word

♫ But all the words are in our eyes

♫ Silence

♫ Silence speaks

♫ Loud and clear
♫ Loud and clear

♫ All the words we don't want to hear

♫ At the touch of your hand

♫ At the sound of your voice

♫ At the moment your eyes meet mine

♫ I am losing my mind

♫ I am losing control

♫ Full of feelings I can't define

♫ It's a sin with no name

♫ No remorse and no shame

♫ Fire, fury, and flame

♫ 'Cause the devil's to blame

♫ And the angels proclaim

♫ It's a dangerous game ♫

(solemn music)

(gloomy music)

♫ If you live around here

♫ Lots of people, I fear

♫ Will make promises

♫ They will not honor, my dear

♫ And the truth is

♫ You end up getting scarred

♫ There's a beast at the door

♫ And he's wild and free

♫ But we won't let him in

♫ 'Cause we don't want to see

♫ What is lurking

♫ Right behind

♫ The facade ♫

(applause)

(solemn music)

- Henry?

- Henry Jekyll is not available.

- Devil.

- No use waiting, Mr. Utterson.

I don't expect the doctor anytime soon.

- I am here on his explicit instructions

to bring these drugs.

- Leave the drugs and go.

- I will live them only with Dr. Jekyll.

(groans)

Where is he?

(laughs)

- Even if I told you,
you wouldn't believe me.

- Either you tell me where he is

or I will send for the authorities.

Choice is yours, Mr. Hyde.

(laughs)

Yes, I know who you are
and I can see that Henry

has good reason to be frightened of you.

What have you done with him?

- What have I done with him?

What has he done with me?

(breathes laboriously)

Allow me to show you, John.

(cackles)

What's the matter?

You afraid of science, huh?

You afraid of the truth? (laughs)

- Oh!

(groans)

(dramatic music)

(sighs)

Henry Jekyll, dear God!

- John, John.

John.

Hyde was right.

You're afraid.

- I'm appalled.

- But I warned you.

Even as Hyde, I warned you.

- Oh my god, Henry, you
have destroyed yourself.

- Perhaps.

Perhaps, but only so that I may save

and redeem my father and
the thousands of others

who inhabit this same uninhabitable hell.

John, John.

Hyde is a part of me freed from within,

but he's returned within
where I can subdue him.

But there's no time.

You must listen to me.

I still may yet be able to regain control.

Here, there's one more task
you must accomplish for me.

- Lucy Harris.

- Tell her to read it at once.

- The girl from The Red Rat?

- Yes, read it to her if necessary.

She must leave London immediately.

- God save my soul.

- Her life hangs in the
balance as does mine.

- Is it your message I'm taking?

Or his?

- If you knew him, you wouldn't ask.

Now go on, John, go on!

With these ingredients,
I have one final chance

to regain control and to save myself.

Go on, John, go on, go on!

- God help us all!

- [Henry] Go on!

♫ Somehow I've got to get back

♫ To the place where my journey started

♫ Find the course I charted

♫ When I first departed

♫ Somehow I've got to
hang on to the vision

♫ That first inspired me

♫ And the hope that fired me

♫ When the world admired me

♫ I'll find a way back
to the higher ground

♫ And see the view I saw before

♫ I'll search the world
until the answer's found

♫ Turn my despair around

♫ Forevermore

♫ Somehow I've got to rebuild

♫ All the dreams that
the winds have shattered

♫ From what fate has shattered

♫ I'll retrieve what mattered

♫ Somehow I've got to hang on

♫ Till the evil has been defeated

♫ Till my work's completed

♫ I will not be cheated

♫ God, you must help me carry on

♫ When it seems all hope has gone

♫ I have got to carry on ♫

(applause)

(thunder rumbling)

(gentle music)

(laughs)

- No fear, sir.

You won't have disturbed nobody.

They're used to late visitors around here.

- This is from Dr. Jekyll.

You are to leave London at
once, tonight if possible.

May I?

My dear Miss Lucy.

I regret more than I can ever express,

that my private misfortunes

prevent me from ever seeing you again.

I have found in you a
tender and loving light

during these past dark days.

I hope you will accept
enclosed as a small repayment

for the lesson you have taught me.

Leave this place, I beg
you, and begin again,

secure in the knowledge that
I shall never forget you.

Henry Jekyll.

- He don't owe me nothin', I owe him.

- That is not my concern.

But I beseech you to do as he asks.

I am sure it's for the best.

- Now, why didn't he come?

Why did you?

- Because he is my friend.

(gentle music)

- Yes.

I suppose he's mine too.

- Believe it.

Goodnight then and good luck.

May you find a happier life elsewhere.

(gentle music)

♫ A new life

♫ What I wouldn't give to have a new life

♫ One thing I have learned
as I go through life

♫ Nothing is for free along the way

♫ A new start

♫ That's the thing I
need to give me new heart

♫ Half a chance in life to find a new part

♫ Just a simple role that I can play

♫ A new home

♫ Something to convince me to renew hope

♫ A new day

♫ Bright enough to help me find my way

♫ A new chance

♫ One that maybe has a touch of romance

♫ Oh where can it be

♫ The chance for me

♫ A new dream

♫ I have one I know that very few dream

♫ I'd like to see that overdue dream

♫ Even though it never may come true

♫ A new love

♫ Though I know there's
no such thing as true love

♫ Even so, although I never knew love

♫ Still I feel that one dream is my due

♫ A new world

♫ This one thing I want
to ask of you, world

♫ Once before it's time
to say adieu, world

♫ One sweet chance to
prove the cynics wrong

♫ A new life

♫ More and more I'm sure
as I go through life

♫ Just to play the game and to pursue life

♫ Just to share its pleasures and belong

♫ That's what I've been here for all along

♫ Each day's a brand new life ♫

(applause)

(thunder rumbling)

(gloomy music)

- Dearest Lucy.

(gasps)
What?

You weren't expecting me?

- No, sir.

- Well, who else can I come to?

Sympathy, tenderness.

What?

You had another visitor this evening?

- No, not really, sir.

- Wasn't the doctor himself, was it?

No, no, no, Henry Jekyll's
such a very busy man.

- You know Dr. Jekyll?

- Know him?

- Oh, we're close, Lucy, we're very close.

We share everything, he and I,

just as you and I do, my sweet everything.

Leave this place, I beg you?

You weren't planning on leaving the city

without saying goodbye, were you?

- No, sir, I'm not going anywhere.

- No.

No, no, you're not going anywhere.

Come here, come.

Close.

No, no, no, closer.

Closer, yes.

♫ Sympathy

(yells)

♫ Tenderness

(groans)

♫ Warm as the summer

♫ Offer you their embrace

♫ Friendliness, gentleness

♫ Strangers to my life

♫ They are there in this face

♫ Goodness and sweetness

♫ And kindness

♫ Abound in this place ♫

(cackles)
(dramatic music)

(solemn music)

♫ Lost in the darkness

♫ Silence surrounds you

♫ Once there was morning

♫ Now endless night

♫ I will find the answer

♫ I'll never desert you

♫ I promise you this

♫ Till the day that I

♫ Do you really think that
I would ever let you go

♫ Do you think I'd ever set you free

♫ If you do, I'm sad to
say, it simply isn't so

♫ You will never get away from me

♫ All that you are is a face in the mirror

♫ I close my eyes and you disappear

♫ I'm what you face when
you face in the mirror

♫ Long as you live, I will still be here

♫ All that you are is
the end of a nightmare

♫ All that you are is a dying scream

♫ After tonight, I shall
end this demon's dream

♫ This is not a dream, my friend

♫ And it will never end

♫ This one is the nightmare that goes on

♫ Hyde is here to stay

♫ No matter what you may pretend

♫ And I'll flourish long after you're gone

♫ Soon you will die and
my silence will hide you

♫ You cannot choose but to lose control

♫ You can't control me,
I live deep inside you

♫ Each day you'll feel me devour your soul

♫ I don't need you to
survive as you need me

♫ I'll become whole as
you dance with death

♫ And I'll rejoice as you
breathe your final breath

♫ I'll live inside you forever
♫ No

♫ Satan himself by my side
♫ No

♫ And I know that now and forever

♫ They'll never be able to separate

♫ Jekyll from Hyde

(yells)

♫ Can't you see it's over now, time to die

♫ No, not I, only you

♫ If I die, you'll die too

♫ You'll die in me and I'll be you

♫ Damn you, Hyde

♫ Set me free

♫ Can't you see you are me

♫ No, deep inside

♫ I am you, you are Hyde ♫

- No, never.

Yes, forever.

God damn you, Hyde,

you take all your evil
deeds and you rot in hell!

♫ I'll see you there, Jekyll ♫

No, no, no, never!

(thunder rumbling)

(applause)

(gloomy music)

♫ There's a beast at the door

♫ And he's wild and free

♫ But we don't let him in

♫ 'Cause we don't want to see

♫ What is lurking

♫ Right behind the facade

♫ Man is not one, but two

♫ He is evil and good

♫ And he walks the fine line
that he'd cross if he could

♫ And he's waiting

♫ He's just waiting ♫

- Henry had entered the very gates of hell

and seen what lay beyond.

His search for the truth
had come to nothing.

He knew he must leave his father
and his unending darkness.

- Yet, back from the dead he came

to the sound of wedding bells,

ready to embrace the next

and we hope much happier
chapter of his life.

♫ Dear lord and father of mankind

♫ Forgive our foolish ways

♫ Re-clothe us in our rightful mind

♫ In purer lives thy service find

♫ In deeper reverence praise

♫ In deeper reverence praise

♫ Drop thy still dews of quietness

♫ Till all our strivings cease

♫ Take from our souls
the strain and stress

♫ And let our ordered lives confess

♫ The beauty of thy peace

♫ The beauty of thy peace ♫

- Dearly beloved, we are
gathered here in the sight of God

to join together this man and
this woman in holy matrimony.

If any man can show any just cause

why they may not lawfully
be joined together

let him now speak

or else hereafter forever hold his peace.

Henry John Albert Jekyll,
(gloomy music)

do you take this woman--
- [John] Henry?

- [Bishop] Emma Alice Margarette Carew.

- [John] What is it?

- Henry?

- Oh god, oh god.

Oh god, not now, please,

someone, please take the pain away!

Oh, feel it fill me!

Oh god, feel it kill me!

Oh god, will me somehow to fight, I pray!

Oh god, have mercy!

Don't let her see me look like this,

not on my wedding day,
not on my wedding day!

(grunts)

(breathes laboriously)

Mr. Stride.

I trustfully respect

you are recording the order of business!

- [Danvers] In God's name, Dr. Jekyll!

- There is no Dr.
Jekyll, only Edward Hyde.

- [Emma] Henry.

- Oh god.

- Henry, it's alright.

(yelling)

- [John] Hyde, she has nothing to do--

- No one, no one touches Edward Hyde

or before God she dies.

- [Danvers] Emma!

- No one touches Edward Hyde.

- Henry.

(gentle music)

Henry, I know that it is you.

And you would never harm me.

There.

(breathes heavily)

- Emma?

Oh god, oh god.

Go on, go on, go on.

(yelling)

(gloomy music)

Go on, John, do it.

Do it, John.

Please, do it.

Set me free, set me free.

Set us all free, just do it, John.

- I cannot.

(grunting)
(dramatic music)

- Father.

- Oh, Henry.

Henry.

- Emma.

- Shh, rest.

- Emma.

- Rest now.

My tormented love.

Shh.

(solemn music)

♫ You are free now

♫ You're with me now

♫ Where you'll always be ♫

(applause)

(dramatic music)

(regal music)

(cheering and applause)

- Thank you!

Whoo!

(laughs)

No day at the beach.

Did you like the show,
did you like the show?

(cheering and applause)

Please.

Please tell your friends

and I wanted to personally
say on camera thank you

to the people at the
Plymouth Theater and SFX

and mostly the cast and crew

who kind of spoon fed me
'cause I've come a long way

from the beach and the talking car.

(laughter)

(cheering and applause)

And it took me a long time to get here

and I'm not leaving!

Thank you for making my dream come true.

Good night everybody!

Hope you enjoyed the show!

(dramatic music)

(playful music)

(gloomy music)

♫ There's a face that we wear

♫ In the cold light of day

♫ It's society's mask, it's society's way

♫ And the truth is that it's all a facade

♫ There's a face that we hide
till the nighttime appears

♫ And what's hiding inside
behind all of our fears

♫ Is our true self

♫ Locked inside the facade

♫ Every day

♫ People in their own sweet way

♫ Like to add a coat of paint

♫ And be what they ain't

♫ That's how our little game is played

♫ Livin' out a masquerade

♫ Actin' a bizarre charade

♫ While playing the saint

♫ At the end of the day,
they don't mean what they say

♫ They don't see what they mean

♫ They don't ever come clean

♫ And their answer

♫ Is it's all a facade,
is it's all a facade

♫ Man is not one, but two

♫ He is evil and good

♫ And he walks a fine line

♫ We'd all cross if we could

♫ It's a nightmare

♫ We can never discard

♫ So we stay on our guard

♫ Though we love the facade

♫ What's behind the facade

♫ Look behind the facade ♫
