WEBVTT 00:00:24.020 --> 00:00:32.219 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. For nearly 00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:35.039 a hundred years, the strange case of Dr. Jekyll 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.840 and Mr. Hyde has been thought of as a tale of 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.600 horror, which of course it is, but it is also 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.399 an intriguing mystery. For example, take the 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.880 matter of Dr. Jekyll's curious will and the scene 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.840 that took place one foggy London afternoon in 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:54.619 the office of Jekyll's attorney, Jeffrey Utterson. 00:00:54.939 --> 00:00:58.780 No, Jekyll! I will not be a party to the making 00:00:58.780 --> 00:01:01.439 of such a will. You are my solicitor. Yes, and 00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:03.560 my friend. Now, if you will not do it as my lawyer, 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.900 do it. I beg of you as my friend. Everything 00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:10.219 you possess to go to this Edward Hyde in the 00:01:10.219 --> 00:01:14.620 event of your death or... or even your disappearance? 00:01:14.819 --> 00:01:17.939 Yes. Well, then you must tell me. I demand that 00:01:17.939 --> 00:01:24.879 you tell me. Who is Edward Hyde? Well, Jekyll, 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:30.200 who is he? Utterson, I wish to heaven on you. 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.540 Our mystery drama, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, was 00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:45.140 especially adapted from the classic by Robert 00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:48.400 Louis Stevenson for the mystery theater by George 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.739 Lother and stars Kevin McCarthy. I'll be back 00:01:52.739 --> 00:02:08.750 shortly with act one. Come, come with me now 00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:11.969 back through the years to London, England in 00:02:11.969 --> 00:02:16.069 1896. It is late of a pleasant spring evening 00:02:16.069 --> 00:02:18.909 and we find ourselves strolling in Cavendish 00:02:18.909 --> 00:02:22.289 Square along with Jeffrey Utterson and his friend 00:02:22.289 --> 00:02:28.289 Dr. Mortimer Lanyon. I must say I've enjoyed 00:02:28.289 --> 00:02:31.250 our walk, Artisan. We'll soon be at my place, 00:02:31.310 --> 00:02:33.870 would you come in? Oh, thanks, Daniel, but I 00:02:33.870 --> 00:02:37.289 think not. I've got a good deal of work to get 00:02:37.289 --> 00:02:41.389 through before I go to bed. I needed a break, 00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:43.629 though, a breath of air, which is why I came 00:02:43.629 --> 00:02:50.210 for this walk with you. Good. That man coming 00:02:50.210 --> 00:02:53.770 toward us. Strange looking fellow, isn't he? 00:02:54.650 --> 00:02:57.780 Oh, his face. In the light of the street lamp, 00:02:57.939 --> 00:03:03.340 that's the most evil thing ever. And he's coming 00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:06.080 straight at us. He's gonna knock one of us down 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.900 if we don't. You fool, you knocked my friend 00:03:10.900 --> 00:03:14.020 down. You! Hold on there! Hold on there, I say! 00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:17.020 Let go! No, not on your life! Let go! You not 00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.719 only knocked my friend down, you walked straight 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.280 over him. I let me go. Who are you? Are you crazy? 00:03:22.379 --> 00:03:24.439 Are you out of your mind? You walked on my friend, 00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.990 is it? as if he were part of the paper. I said 00:03:26.990 --> 00:03:29.310 I'm sorry. That's not enough, by no means enough. 00:03:29.550 --> 00:03:32.770 Oh, who is this man? Lanyon, are you all right? 00:03:33.669 --> 00:03:37.050 I'm not sure. You walked on me and stomped right 00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:39.629 over me. Who the devil are you? I warn you that 00:03:39.629 --> 00:03:42.129 who you are. Let me go! Otis! Let me go or I 00:03:42.129 --> 00:03:43.770 say I'll kill you both. Look out, he's bringing 00:03:43.770 --> 00:03:46.310 that heavy walking stick in here. Kill you both! 00:03:48.789 --> 00:03:52.810 You struck me. No one strikes Edward Hyde and 00:03:52.810 --> 00:03:55.389 lives. No! You'll kill us both with that walking 00:03:55.389 --> 00:03:59.430 stick! Run, Hudson! Run! Come back! Come back 00:03:59.430 --> 00:04:04.370 and I'll kill you! Stop! Stop! I can't go on! 00:04:04.789 --> 00:04:09.610 My heart! Oh, my fluid! It's pounding like a 00:04:09.610 --> 00:04:13.909 trip! Oh, good Lord, Hudson! I've never had such 00:04:13.909 --> 00:04:17.129 an experience of this kind in my life! Are you 00:04:17.129 --> 00:04:19.769 all right? You took a blow from that walking 00:04:19.769 --> 00:04:26.579 stick! Hudson, what is it? The name. The name 00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:30.980 he used. Did you hear it? Yes. What was it? Well, 00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:33.300 I think I know, but I want to be sure. Hyde. 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:36.459 He said Edward Hyde. That's what I thought. Well, 00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:39.560 what of it? Well, the way you looked at it. Do 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.500 you know the man? Does the man mean something 00:04:43.500 --> 00:04:45.680 to you? No, no, no, no. I don't know the man. 00:04:46.660 --> 00:04:50.399 But the name. Oh, yes. The name means something 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:56.430 to me. What? Well, what? I... And I'm not sure 00:04:56.430 --> 00:04:59.290 I can tell you, Lanyon. I... I'm not sure I have 00:04:59.290 --> 00:05:02.670 the right as a lawyer to do so. On the other 00:05:02.670 --> 00:05:06.029 hand, I... Oh, yes? Oh, you are my oldest friend, 00:05:06.949 --> 00:05:10.129 and... Your daughter, Beatrice, is engaged to 00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:13.290 Dr. Jekyll, isn't she? Yes, yes, sir, to be married 00:05:13.290 --> 00:05:18.350 in September. Then... Then perhaps I should tell 00:05:18.350 --> 00:05:23.500 you that... No. No, it would serve no purpose. 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.740 Well, why, Mr. Utterson? Oh, good evening, fool. 00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:41.420 I know it's late, but is Dr. Jettles home? Oh, 00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:44.459 to you, sir, at any hour, I'm sure. Come in, 00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:48.220 sir. The doctor is at work in his laboratory. 00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:51.350 If you'll wait here a moment, sir. Ah, thank 00:05:51.350 --> 00:05:58.209 you, Wolf. Excuse me, Dr. Jekyll. What? Damn 00:05:58.209 --> 00:06:00.730 it. Cool, I told you I was not to be disturbed. 00:06:00.870 --> 00:06:05.189 I know, sir, but... But what? Mr. Utterson is 00:06:05.189 --> 00:06:11.050 calling, sir. Utterson? At this hour? Well, alright. 00:06:11.550 --> 00:06:15.689 Show him in. This way, Mr. Utterson, please. 00:06:15.850 --> 00:06:21.399 Thank you, Wolf. Well, Edison, this is a late 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.459 hour of visit. Jekyll, I'll come straight to 00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:27.800 the point. Dr. Lanyon and I were out walking 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.980 in Cavanagh Square less than an hour ago when 00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:34.139 we noticed a strange man, a sort of, I don't 00:06:34.139 --> 00:06:38.199 know, dwarf -like creature with, could I show 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.079 you, a face that, but it was so vile, so evil, 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.100 it brought the sweat out of my brow. Well, well. 00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:49.610 Well, he, this man, he walked... straight into 00:06:49.610 --> 00:06:51.769 Lanyon, knocked him down, and then walked right 00:06:51.769 --> 00:06:54.990 over him. I ran after him, and argument ensued, 00:06:55.050 --> 00:06:57.790 and then... Well, he threatened to kill both 00:06:57.790 --> 00:07:00.089 Lanyon and me with his walking stick. He went 00:07:00.089 --> 00:07:03.709 into a rage I can only describe as... bestial, 00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:07.550 swinging the walking stick at us, and... and... 00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:10.569 and what? Well, I don't think he meant to give 00:07:10.569 --> 00:07:13.509 his name. In fact, he refused to give it when 00:07:13.509 --> 00:07:16.750 I asked for it. But in his rage, he forgot himself, 00:07:16.750 --> 00:07:23.949 and he used his name. Edward Hyde. And what of 00:07:23.949 --> 00:07:27.949 that? Six months ago you insisted I destroy your 00:07:27.949 --> 00:07:31.269 old will and make out a new one. Leaving everything 00:07:31.269 --> 00:07:36.509 to a certain Edward Hyde. Oh, oh, I see. Now 00:07:36.509 --> 00:07:38.410 I told you then, as I tell you now, I considered 00:07:38.410 --> 00:07:42.269 the terms of the will most curious. Indeed decidedly 00:07:42.269 --> 00:07:44.430 strange. And as I told you then, and I tell you 00:07:44.430 --> 00:07:46.930 now, I see nothing strange in wanting to leave 00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:49.209 my money to a certain beneficiary in the event 00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:53.889 of my death. Or your disappearance. That's what 00:07:53.889 --> 00:07:57.009 I find strange. That's what worries me. Even 00:07:57.009 --> 00:07:58.750 more now in the light of what happened tonight. 00:08:00.350 --> 00:08:03.089 Jekyll, I ask you once again, who is Edward Hyde? 00:08:03.610 --> 00:08:05.910 You mean the Edward Hyde I've bequeathed my estate 00:08:05.910 --> 00:08:08.949 to, or the Edward Hyde you ran into tonight? 00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:15.009 They are one and the same. There's certainly 00:08:15.009 --> 00:08:17.550 more than one Edward Hyde in all of London. Oh, 00:08:17.589 --> 00:08:21.230 yes, I'm quite sure. But only one Edward Hyde 00:08:21.230 --> 00:08:26.430 who might have been carrying this. My walking 00:08:26.430 --> 00:08:28.769 stick. The walking stick I gave you several years 00:08:28.769 --> 00:08:34.490 ago on your birthday. I'd know it anywhere. Jekyll, 00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:39.490 are you in trouble? Huh? What do you mean, trouble? 00:08:39.470 --> 00:08:42.690 What's with this hide? Does he have something 00:08:42.690 --> 00:08:46.149 on you? Is he blackmailing you? That's a ridiculous 00:08:46.149 --> 00:08:50.090 thought. Then what is it? How can you, Dr. Henry 00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:52.970 Jekyll, one of the most honorable and respected 00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:55.789 physicians in London, have any association, whatever, 00:08:56.289 --> 00:09:00.610 with a terrible person like this hide? Why have 00:09:00.610 --> 00:09:02.570 you made over your estate to him, especially 00:09:02.570 --> 00:09:05.470 when you were to marry Beatrice Lanyon? And why? 00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:10.259 Why? Why that... stipulation in the event of 00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:14.620 your disappearance. Jekyll, I beg you, tell me 00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:20.379 what it means. I cannot. I cannot. But as your 00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:23.240 friend, I... You are the friend you say you are. 00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:28.519 Oh, and you are, Utterson. You are. Then do me 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.519 the favor of never mentioning Edward Hyde again. 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.500 Well, if this is your... Last word on the subject, 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:51.139 Jekyll? It is. Very well then. Good night. Oh, 00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:55.740 Poole. Yes, Mr. Rudderson, sir. I'd, um... I'd 00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:57.840 like to ask you something. Oh, anything, sir? 00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:04.159 Who is Edward Hyde? Oh, God help me, sir. I wish 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.950 I knew. We all of us in this house... Everyone 00:10:07.950 --> 00:10:11.590 of Dr. Jekyll's servants wish we knew. All right, 00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:14.029 tell me about him, this Hyde. Dr. Jekyll was 00:10:14.029 --> 00:10:17.470 away on a house call, I think. The front doorbell 00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:21.090 rang and I answered it, and the rest would be... 00:10:21.090 --> 00:10:24.409 Oh, a frightful creature, Mr. Utterson, frightful. 00:10:25.610 --> 00:10:29.389 I've met Mr. Hyde, I know. He said he wanted 00:10:29.389 --> 00:10:33.029 to see Dr. Jekyll. I started to say that Dr. 00:10:33.110 --> 00:10:35.720 Jekyll was not at home, but... He pushed right 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:39.000 past me in the rudest way, sir, and went straight 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.700 into Dr. Jekyll's laboratory. Yes, I quite understand. 00:10:41.899 --> 00:10:46.580 Go on. Well, later on, I was in the kitchen when 00:10:46.580 --> 00:10:49.120 the bell rang from the laboratory. I went into 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.460 the laboratory, and that, to my complete surprise, 00:10:53.059 --> 00:10:57.399 was Dr. Jekyll. To your surprise? Why, yes. You 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:00.639 see, sir, he'd forgotten his keys, and I was 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.279 so surprised that he'd... somehow got back into 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.639 the house. Well, well, did you ask him how? Oh, 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.000 I did, sir, yes. But he ignored the question. 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.639 Never mind that, he said. I want to give you 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.639 certain instructions concerning Mr. Edward Hyde. 00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:20.379 He then said that Mr. Hyde was to be admitted 00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:25.879 any time he called. I see. Tell me, fool, what 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:30.080 is Mr. Hyde's manner? toward Dr. Jekyll. I mean, 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:31.980 when they're together, how does Mr. Hyde act 00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:35.039 toward Dr. Jekyll? Or Dr. Jekyll toward this 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.679 Mr. Hyde? Well, they're never together, sir. 00:11:38.779 --> 00:11:41.100 That's puzzling. Very puzzling, to say the least. 00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:45.399 Oh, Mr. Aderson, sir, all of us here are convinced 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.720 that our master is in dire trouble. If you could 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:53.320 help the good doctor... Yes, Poole. Yes, I certainly 00:11:53.320 --> 00:12:15.419 shall, if I can. I had no idea you'd come into 00:12:15.419 --> 00:12:17.220 the music room. How long have you been there? 00:12:17.299 --> 00:12:20.019 Only a few moments. When you become Mrs. Henry 00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:22.679 Jekyll, I shall insist that you play for me every 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:25.519 night after dinner. It shall be my wifely pleasure. 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:31.559 And duty, kind sir. Henry does. I'm sorry, but, 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.299 oh, Beatrice, I want you so. And I want you, 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.360 but... but until we're married, Henry, I... We 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.059 must. We wait until September. It's such a long 00:12:40.059 --> 00:12:44.559 time. Saw that. Oh, sorry. I didn't know you 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.559 were here, Henry. How are you? How are you, Dr. 00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:49.919 Lanyon? Utterson tells me you had a rather bad 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.000 experience the other night. Yes, yes. But I'm 00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.639 quite recovered, thank you. It's only a few bruises 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.279 where that fearsome creature stomped on me, but 00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:02.519 otherwise all right. Something I've been meaning 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:06.820 to ask you, Henry? Yes? Ah, but later. I don't 00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:09.220 want to interrupt you two lovebirds. Father? 00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:12.259 Well, I should be at my study. Talk to him before 00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:16.259 you go. Of course. Well now, Henry. Where were 00:13:16.259 --> 00:13:19.720 we? Oh, yes, the wedding. No, now look, dearest, 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.460 we can't possibly change the date now. What if 00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.799 I insist? I don't think I understand. I say, 00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.279 what if I insist? But Henry, you wouldn't. It 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.350 would be so unlike you. It is, though unlike 00:13:32.350 --> 00:13:34.409 you even to be talking this way. You've always 00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:37.490 gone along with my wish. I have wishes too. And 00:13:37.490 --> 00:13:40.629 rights, Beatrice, I have rights. Oh, really, 00:13:40.809 --> 00:13:44.169 Henry, really. You... You have no right, as you 00:13:44.169 --> 00:13:46.950 say, until we marry. It troubles me you should 00:13:46.950 --> 00:13:51.389 even say such a thing. In fact, Henry, I... Yes? 00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:56.070 In fact what? Henry, I've been meaning to talk 00:13:56.070 --> 00:13:58.330 to you about this and I keep putting it off because 00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:03.210 I... Well, I... I feel a bit awkward, but... 00:14:03.210 --> 00:14:05.490 Well, to be honest with you, my darling, you're 00:14:05.490 --> 00:14:08.850 not the same man that I became engaged to. Now 00:14:08.850 --> 00:14:11.889 that's a silly remark. Well, the way you've acted 00:14:11.889 --> 00:14:16.409 the last few times we've been together... There's... 00:14:16.409 --> 00:14:17.850 something different about you, Henry. I don't 00:14:17.850 --> 00:14:19.610 know what it is. I can't put my finger on it, 00:14:19.610 --> 00:14:24.009 but... You've changed, somehow, in some... subtle 00:14:24.009 --> 00:14:30.169 way. Changed. Why, even your face... What about 00:14:30.169 --> 00:14:31.929 my face? Well, Henry, you don't have to snore. 00:14:32.009 --> 00:14:34.230 What about it? My face. You're hurting me, Henry. 00:14:34.250 --> 00:14:41.529 Please don't. Please. Sorry. Sorry isn't enough. 00:14:42.690 --> 00:14:45.690 More and more you keep manhandling me, and then 00:14:45.690 --> 00:14:47.990 you say, oh, sorry, what's come over you? What 00:14:47.990 --> 00:14:51.549 changed you in the past few weeks? What did you 00:14:51.549 --> 00:14:57.250 mean about my face? Oh, darling. Oh, it's only... 00:14:58.250 --> 00:15:00.070 I suppose you're working too hard or something 00:15:00.070 --> 00:15:03.669 of the sort, but there are lines in your face 00:15:03.669 --> 00:15:07.429 that I've never seen before. Lines of tiredness, 00:15:07.429 --> 00:15:11.570 I guess. Yes, yes, that would be it. Shadows 00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:17.389 under your eyes. Even now they look darker, deeper. 00:15:18.830 --> 00:15:21.870 Darling, I didn't notice before, but I do now. 00:15:21.870 --> 00:15:25.049 I think that you neglected to shave today. I 00:15:25.049 --> 00:15:28.570 must go. Go! He's only been here a few minutes! 00:15:28.590 --> 00:15:30.509 A patient's patient, remember? A patient promised 00:15:30.509 --> 00:15:37.090 to visit. I'll drop in again tomorrow. Was that 00:15:37.090 --> 00:15:40.970 Henry who just left? Yes, Father. But he said 00:15:40.970 --> 00:15:43.269 he'd drop by the study to see me before he went. 00:15:43.330 --> 00:15:47.850 Yes, I know he did. Well, Beatrice, what happened? 00:15:49.950 --> 00:15:56.370 I don't know. For a moment I'd sworn that Henry 00:15:56.370 --> 00:16:06.789 was... changing before my eyes. A tale of horror, 00:16:07.009 --> 00:16:10.450 yes, but also, as I said, a mystery. At least 00:16:10.450 --> 00:16:14.070 it was to Mr. Utterson, Dr. Langan, and his lovely 00:16:14.070 --> 00:16:17.029 daughter Beatrice. A mystery that was to turn 00:16:17.029 --> 00:16:19.889 to tragic horror before they learned the truth 00:16:19.889 --> 00:16:23.610 about Dr. Henry Jekyll. I shall return shortly 00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:38.519 with Act Two. It almost goes without saying that 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.080 the tamper with natural law will lead to an unnatural 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:46.460 end. Mr. Utterson, Dr. Lanyon, Poole, and the 00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:49.039 servants in Dr. Jekyll's household have begun 00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.419 to suspect that Jekyll is hiding some awful secret 00:16:52.419 --> 00:16:56.120 from them. A secret that involves a man known 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.419 as Edward Hyde. Even Beatrice Lanyon, Dr. Jekyll's 00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:03.879 fiance, has begun to wonder at the change she 00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.259 senses in him. It may even be that the London 00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:13.920 police are beginning to wander. Come in. Inspector 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.420 Wolfe of Scotland Yard to see you, Dr. Jekyll. 00:17:17.420 --> 00:17:20.500 Ah, Sherman Poole. Yes, this way, Inspector. 00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:25.460 Ah, thank you. Dr. Jekyll? Yes? Levis Poole. 00:17:26.380 --> 00:17:28.559 Inspector Wolfe of Scotland Yard, is it? Yes. 00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:33.599 Please take a chair, Inspector. Thank you. Well 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.670 now, Inspector. What can I do for you? Hey, well, 00:17:36.670 --> 00:17:38.829 I'm not sure you can do anything at all, Doctor, 00:17:38.890 --> 00:17:42.769 but, uh... Are you aware that in the past six 00:17:42.769 --> 00:17:44.910 weeks there's been a rash of murders in London? 00:17:45.210 --> 00:17:48.349 Extremely brutal murders, Doctor. Each victim 00:17:48.349 --> 00:17:50.529 has been bludgeoned to death. Why do you come 00:17:50.529 --> 00:17:53.650 to me? Well, on more than one occasion, the murderer 00:17:53.650 --> 00:17:56.089 has been seen while committing these terrible 00:17:56.089 --> 00:17:58.710 attacks of violence. Now, clearly, since the 00:17:58.710 --> 00:18:00.589 murderers have always been done at night and 00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:03.950 in dark streets, you know. But there have been 00:18:03.950 --> 00:18:05.890 glimpses of them, and putting them together, 00:18:06.569 --> 00:18:08.809 the yard has come up with what you might call 00:18:08.809 --> 00:18:12.309 a composite picture of the man. I still don't 00:18:12.309 --> 00:18:14.710 see. I just don't understand why you've come 00:18:14.710 --> 00:18:16.890 to me about this. But you will in a moment, Doctor. 00:18:17.490 --> 00:18:20.950 The man, the murderer, appears to be a short, 00:18:21.349 --> 00:18:24.609 malformed, dwarfish creature who, even though 00:18:24.609 --> 00:18:27.390 his face has never been clearly seen, gives a 00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:33.529 strong impression of evil. Doctor... A particularly 00:18:33.529 --> 00:18:36.069 brutal murder took place last night in Montague 00:18:36.069 --> 00:18:39.210 Street. Dr. Danvers Carew was bludgeoned to death. 00:18:40.089 --> 00:18:43.630 Carew, member of parliament, I the same. He was 00:18:43.630 --> 00:18:46.509 beaten to death with a walking stick. And the 00:18:46.509 --> 00:18:49.230 murderer was the dwarf -like creature that I 00:18:49.230 --> 00:18:52.150 mentioned. The person who saw the murder take 00:18:52.150 --> 00:18:54.650 place followed the murderer out with, you see, 00:18:54.710 --> 00:18:56.549 keeping at a safe distance, you may be sure. 00:18:57.069 --> 00:19:02.450 And, well, that's why I'm here. Why precisely? 00:19:03.109 --> 00:19:07.369 The murderer was seen to enter this house. You 00:19:07.369 --> 00:19:09.750 must be... Well, I was about to say you must 00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:13.710 be joking, but of course, you're serious. You, 00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:16.549 uh... You don't happen to be acquainted with 00:19:16.549 --> 00:19:22.390 a Mr. Hyde, do you? A Mr. Edward Hyde? Uh, well, 00:19:22.650 --> 00:19:25.349 yes, yes, but he's not an occupant of this house. 00:19:25.970 --> 00:19:29.839 Uh, he doesn't live here. No. Did he visit or 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:33.299 on occasion on occasion? Yes, but I uh, I haven't 00:19:33.299 --> 00:19:35.880 seen him now, you know, oh once I should say, 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.279 uh -huh Friend of yours, is he? No, no, no patient 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.740 patient. He suffers from a nervous disorder comes 00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:44.279 to see me whenever he's in need of medication 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.819 Well, thank you for your time. Good day. Good 00:19:47.819 --> 00:20:00.829 day inspector Sorry to have kept you waiting, 00:20:00.930 --> 00:20:03.950 fool. Oh, not at all, Mr. Utterson. What can 00:20:03.950 --> 00:20:08.589 I do for you? Mr. Utterson, I'm worried, fearfully 00:20:08.589 --> 00:20:12.250 worried, about Dr. Jekyll. Oh? You remember, 00:20:12.250 --> 00:20:15.450 sir, we were talking a long time back, near two 00:20:15.450 --> 00:20:18.789 months, I should think, about Mr. Hyde, and you 00:20:18.789 --> 00:20:22.150 asked me if I'd ever seen Dr. Jekyll and him 00:20:22.150 --> 00:20:25.269 Hyde together. Yes, there's something about that, 00:20:25.390 --> 00:20:28.940 Jess, and you said you never had. Well... They 00:20:28.940 --> 00:20:32.400 are together now, sir. Not that they mightn't 00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:35.500 have been together before, but I know for certain 00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:40.500 that they are now. There are fights, yes fights, 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.200 going on in that laboratory between the doctor 00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:47.519 and, oh, that terrible man, Mr. Hyde. No, no, 00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:52.380 no, no, sir, arguments. I hear Dr. Jekyll moan 00:20:52.380 --> 00:20:56.500 and groan and cry out, no, no, leave me be, leave 00:20:56.500 --> 00:21:01.019 me be! Oh, Mr. Utterson, sir. I'm so afraid for 00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:04.279 Dr. Jekyll. So afraid. Yes, well, you're saying 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.720 that comes as no surprise, fool. The truth is, 00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:09.519 I've known he was in some kind of trouble since 00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.920 he, well, since he changed his will months ago 00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:17.160 in favor of Edward Hyde. In favor of Edward Hyde? 00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:19.660 Oh, yes. He's left him everything in the event 00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:23.539 of his death. But most puzzling, in the event 00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:27.900 of his disappearance as well. Oh, sir, sir. I 00:21:27.900 --> 00:21:30.839 don't understand it. Nor do I. And to be honest 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.819 with you, I've given up trying to understand 00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:41.259 it. Then I must do what must be done. What do 00:21:41.259 --> 00:21:45.460 you mean? For the first time in my life, Mr. 00:21:45.579 --> 00:21:50.019 Utterson, I shall disobey Dr. Jekyll's orders. 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.960 For his sake, I shall see to it that Mr. Hyde... 00:21:53.980 --> 00:22:06.460 Never enters Dr. Jekyll's house again! Let me 00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:10.839 in! You hear me, Poole? Let me in! Never, Mr. 00:22:11.099 --> 00:22:15.200 Hyde! Never! Go away and stay away! No! Mr. Poole, 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.019 my key, show it to you! It must have been you, 00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.920 and now you're plotting me from the house! And 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:23.180 you'll stay barred as long as I'm here! Poole! 00:22:23.390 --> 00:22:27.329 I warn you! Warn away! You'll not enter this 00:22:27.329 --> 00:22:33.569 house! You... You... Poole! Poole! Listen to 00:22:33.569 --> 00:22:36.329 me, Poole! I'm listening! I'm in trouble, Poole! 00:22:36.549 --> 00:22:39.730 I need Dr. Jekyll's help! He's not at home! Let 00:22:39.730 --> 00:22:42.829 me come in and wait for him, Poole! I am in desperate 00:22:42.829 --> 00:22:50.210 trouble! Then stay in it and be damned to your... 00:22:50.210 --> 00:22:54.640 Father, what is it? I've never seen you so upset. 00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:59.519 Well, read this. My dear Dr. Lanyon, as you value 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.240 my friendship and my life, please go to this 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:04.559 very night to my home. Father, this is a note 00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.599 from Henry. Yes, Ned, you needn't read any further. 00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.920 He asks me, begs me, to go to his home, enter 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.400 his laboratory, and procure certain chemicals 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:16.740 and powders, giving very explicit directions 00:23:16.740 --> 00:23:19.700 as to where I should find them. When the message 00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:22.759 was delivered an hour or so ago, I've just returned 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.359 from following Henry's instructions. As you see, 00:23:26.460 --> 00:23:29.079 the message directs that I am to give these materials 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:31.960 to whoever calls for them. But what does it all 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.900 mean? Well, you are Henry's fiance. You are close 00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:38.740 to him, closer than anyone else. Yes, we're in 00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:41.039 some sort of difficulty. And if you know what 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:43.920 it is, I charge you for his sake as well as your 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.140 own. Tell me what it is. But if I knew, I'd tell 00:23:47.140 --> 00:23:51.539 you. But yes, he is in grave difficulty. Whatever 00:23:51.539 --> 00:23:55.900 it may be, he keeps to himself. And what would 00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:58.160 it have to do with chemicals and powders and 00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:02.799 elixirs? Oh, Father, I don't know. No. Blam has 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:05.299 retired. I'll answer the door. Oh, you're retired 00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:07.440 as well, my dear. No, Father, I want to send... 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.339 Do as I say, my child. Go to your room. I have 00:24:11.339 --> 00:24:14.319 a feeling that I'd best tend to this alone. Now 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:21.470 go now. Very well, Father. Obediently long did 00:24:21.470 --> 00:24:23.450 it take you to answer the door. Let me in. Let 00:24:23.450 --> 00:24:27.069 me in quickly. You took your own sweet time. 00:24:27.710 --> 00:24:30.049 And I... Where are the materials you were told 00:24:30.049 --> 00:24:34.029 to get? In my study. Come. Let us get them. Come, 00:24:34.089 --> 00:24:39.990 come, come. Where are they? Right there on my 00:24:39.990 --> 00:24:45.069 desk. Yes, you did well. All seems to be here. 00:24:45.390 --> 00:24:50.700 Believe me. You misunderstood, I didn't say shut 00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:55.059 the door. I said leave me. I didn't misunderstand, 00:24:55.259 --> 00:24:58.900 Mr. Hyde. You know me. From the newspaper reports 00:24:58.900 --> 00:25:01.700 of your murders, the general description of you, 00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.940 all of London knows you now, I should think. 00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:09.039 Leave me. Go out and close the door and don't 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:12.839 return until I'm gone. Not until you tell me 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.039 what connection you have with my friend and my 00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:20.069 daughter's betrothed. Dr. Henry Jekyll, I tell 00:25:20.069 --> 00:25:25.309 you, if you value your sanity, leave me. I will 00:25:25.309 --> 00:25:29.009 know the answer to who you are and what connection 00:25:29.009 --> 00:25:33.150 you have with Jekyll, or you will not leave this 00:25:33.150 --> 00:25:36.349 room. Fool! I... Fool! The police are on my trail. 00:25:36.630 --> 00:25:39.130 I killed the man. No, I'm not surprised. I went 00:25:39.130 --> 00:25:41.329 to Jekyll's house, but his blithering servant 00:25:41.329 --> 00:25:44.390 refused to let me in. That's why I sent that 00:25:44.390 --> 00:25:47.819 message to you. You? What is your sign by Dr. 00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:50.880 Jekyll? You don't understand. And I intend to 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.220 understand, though you will not leave this room, 00:25:53.339 --> 00:25:58.799 this house. Back off, back off, I say. Yes, as 00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.259 you will see, I'm prepared for you. This gun 00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:04.240 is loaded, Mr. Hyde, and I shall use it if need 00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:07.220 be. Here, leave me no choice. If the police find 00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:10.660 me here, well, they will not find me. The potion 00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:13.799 is quickly prepared. The potion? Once again, 00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:20.509 leave me. No! Then damn you, witness what you 00:26:20.509 --> 00:26:25.730 shall witness. You're as big a fool as Jekyll. 00:26:25.910 --> 00:26:27.589 They've given the chance to leave well enough 00:26:27.589 --> 00:26:30.309 alone, but no, you must know the answer. Well, 00:26:30.349 --> 00:26:33.390 you shall know it. Your friend Dr. Jekyll had 00:26:33.390 --> 00:26:36.529 a theory. A theory he talked about so endlessly, 00:26:36.750 --> 00:26:38.990 so compulsively, that he bored everyone within 00:26:38.990 --> 00:26:40.450 the sound of his voice. You know the theory, 00:26:40.470 --> 00:26:43.549 do you not? Yes, I was one of the bored listeners, 00:26:43.650 --> 00:26:46.799 yes, I know. But each of us contains within himself 00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:50.500 not one spirit, but two. A good spirit, an evil 00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:54.240 spirit. What else? There was more. Jekyll also 00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:57.720 believed that a way might be found, yes, via 00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:01.180 a potion, that would release that other spirit, 00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:04.299 the evil side of us, the side we all try to keep 00:27:04.299 --> 00:27:08.160 under control. Exactly, and you all laugh, you... 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.980 The Mercury! Where's the Mercury? You didn't 00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:16.799 bring... Thank God. Yes. Yes. You all laughed. 00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:18.980 You said it couldn't be done. And even if it 00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:21.059 could be done, you all said it would be madness 00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:25.680 to try it. You were right in one respect. It 00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:33.619 was indeed madness. You, if I follow you, you 00:27:33.619 --> 00:27:39.539 are saying that Jekyll carried out the experiment. 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:46.920 He did! And it was. Oh, for me, yes, for me. 00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:51.980 For him, tragic. For you see, Dr. Lanyon, I am 00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:54.619 in control. Now, whereas before Dr. Jekyll controlled 00:27:54.619 --> 00:27:59.259 me, I now control Dr. Jekyll. What in God's name 00:27:59.259 --> 00:28:02.500 are you saying? You shall see. Yes, in a moment, 00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:08.660 you shall see. There, potion is ready. Before 00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:12.420 I drink it, I offer you one more chance to leave. 00:28:13.339 --> 00:28:23.329 Oh. In that case, Lanyon, God help you. You drank 00:28:23.329 --> 00:28:28.730 that? Why do you think I mixed it? But it contained 00:28:28.730 --> 00:28:38.029 mercury, quick silver! Another! Hide! What? My 00:28:38.029 --> 00:28:41.569 God, what's happening? You're changing before 00:28:41.569 --> 00:29:10.529 my eyes! You're getting older, huh? And just 00:29:10.529 --> 00:29:14.710 in time, please shut your door, Dr. Lanyon. I'd 00:29:14.710 --> 00:29:19.750 like to mean I have nothing to fear for the moment. 00:29:24.450 --> 00:29:27.309 And so before the shocked eyes of Dr. Lanyon, 00:29:28.089 --> 00:29:31.890 Dr. Jekyll's secret is revealed. Edward Hyde 00:29:31.890 --> 00:29:36.750 and Dr. Jekyll are one and the same man. Questions 00:29:36.750 --> 00:29:40.769 arise. What did Hyde mean by saying he is now 00:29:40.769 --> 00:29:44.420 in control of Jekyll? What did Jekyll mean when 00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:47.299 he said he has nothing to fear for the moment? 00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.720 We shall see when I return shortly with Act 3. 00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:06.079 The Scotland Yard Police in pursuit of the murderous 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:09.480 Mr. Hyde arrive at Dr. Langdon's house in Cavendish 00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:13.240 Square. just as Hyde is transformed into the 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.819 noted and respected physician, Dr. Jekyll. Now, 00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.400 as the police urgently ring the bell at the front 00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.660 door... Dr. Lanyon, you must answer the door. 00:30:24.099 --> 00:30:27.019 I... I can't get up from this chair, Jekyll. 00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:31.539 My heart, I feel weak, faint. Then I suppose 00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:36.259 I must let them in. Beatrice, how long have you 00:30:36.259 --> 00:30:39.500 been outside this door? Long enough, Henry. You... 00:30:39.549 --> 00:30:43.630 No. Oh, heaven help you, Henry. Yes, I know. 00:30:43.849 --> 00:30:46.789 Please shut the door. You'll not give me away. 00:30:50.089 --> 00:30:54.829 Dr. Jekyll. Inspector Wolf, isn't it? Yes, but 00:30:54.829 --> 00:30:59.210 what? One moment. Sergeant, place your men through 00:30:59.210 --> 00:31:04.029 every entrance and exit discarded. Now, if I 00:31:04.029 --> 00:31:08.569 may come in. Dr. Jekyll. Certainly. Am I here? 00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:13.099 This is inspector Wolff at Scotland Yard. My 00:31:13.099 --> 00:31:16.380 fiancee, Miss Beatrice Lanyon. Inspector, how 00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:18.720 do you do? Well, there were a thousand apologies, 00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:22.900 ma 'am, but we're looking for a murderer. A certain 00:31:22.900 --> 00:31:26.099 Edward Hyde. And what makes you think he'll find 00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:28.299 him here? A description of him was given to every 00:31:28.299 --> 00:31:31.319 handsome cab driver in London. One of them saw 00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.259 him enter this house a little more than half 00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:35.339 an hour ago and notified the yard. Well, you've 00:31:35.339 --> 00:31:37.650 obviously made a mistake. This is the home of 00:31:37.650 --> 00:31:41.029 Dr. Lanyon. I am his daughter. We are not acquainted 00:31:41.029 --> 00:31:45.690 with anyone named Hyde. I beg your pardon, Dr. 00:31:45.849 --> 00:31:51.230 Jekyll. You said something? No. No. No. Ms. Lanyon, 00:31:51.950 --> 00:31:53.849 I should like your permission to search the premises. 00:31:53.990 --> 00:31:55.809 Well, I'm afraid that's impossible. Oh, I don't 00:31:55.809 --> 00:31:58.230 think you quite understand. If our information 00:31:58.230 --> 00:32:01.130 is correct, Edward Hyde is in this house, and 00:32:01.130 --> 00:32:03.789 he's a dangerous man, Ms. Lanyon. A murderer. 00:32:03.789 --> 00:32:09.539 I'm sorry. No. Good night, Inspector. Inspector, 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.920 I said good night. Is your father at home? Yes. 00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:16.940 Then I must ask to see him. If you will not give 00:32:16.940 --> 00:32:18.920 us permission to search the house, perhaps he 00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:20.720 will. I'm sorry, Inspector, but my father... 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.539 I insist not. Inspector, there is no Edward Hyde 00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:25.420 in this house any more than there was an Edward 00:32:25.420 --> 00:32:28.900 Hyde in mine when you called there. Very well. 00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:32.880 I won't pursue this matter further tonight, Miss 00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.140 Lanyon. But Dr. Jekyll... I think we should have 00:32:37.140 --> 00:32:40.839 another talk, you and I, about your Mr. Hyde. 00:32:40.920 --> 00:32:43.140 He's not my Mr. Hyde, Inspector. He's a patient 00:32:43.140 --> 00:32:45.099 I haven't seen in a long time. Should he pay 00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:47.059 me another professional visit, I shall certainly 00:32:47.059 --> 00:32:50.359 notify you. And now, sir, good night. Good night. 00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:59.319 Henry. Oh, Henry, what terrible thing have you 00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:04.390 done? My darling. Oh, my dearest, I... I'm trapped 00:33:04.390 --> 00:33:06.849 by my own folly. Your father warned me a long 00:33:06.849 --> 00:33:10.650 time ago to give up my experiments, if only... 00:33:10.650 --> 00:33:13.829 I had heeded his advice. Well, heed it now! Yeah, 00:33:14.109 --> 00:33:16.990 it's impossible. It's too late. Why too late? 00:33:17.210 --> 00:33:21.109 I've lost control over Hyde. He controls me. 00:33:22.009 --> 00:33:24.230 Over these past months, he's grown stronger and 00:33:24.230 --> 00:33:30.490 I weaker. I never know how or when the transformation... 00:33:30.490 --> 00:33:33.289 The horrible transformation will take place. 00:33:33.450 --> 00:33:37.289 Heaven help me, Beatrice. I have become Hyde's 00:33:37.289 --> 00:33:40.349 slave. It's not too late. We can't let it be. 00:33:40.710 --> 00:33:42.910 Father could help you, Henry. I'm sure he can. 00:33:43.190 --> 00:33:45.910 Come, come. We'll ask his advice. He'll know 00:33:45.910 --> 00:33:52.650 what to do. Perhaps you're right. Yes. Let's... 00:33:52.650 --> 00:33:57.670 Let's see what he has to say. Father! The police 00:33:57.670 --> 00:33:59.289 have gone and Henry's in fearful trouble, as 00:33:59.289 --> 00:34:04.339 you know, and he wants to... Father? Dr. Lanyon. 00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:07.420 Father, what is it? Why do you just sit there 00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:16.639 staring? Oh, my God. Yes. He's dead. What he 00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:19.139 saw tonight was too much for his weak heart. 00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:24.219 Edward Hyde murdered him. Heaven forgive me. 00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:43.940 I murdered him. Jekyll, we can leave now, I think. 00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:46.400 No, I would like to stay a little longer, Mr. 00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:49.079 Utterson. No, child, they'll start to fill in 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.119 the grave shortly. There's no need to put yourself 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:54.139 through that. Come along now, I insist. Oh, very 00:34:54.139 --> 00:34:59.539 well. Beatrice, if you would care to dismiss 00:34:59.539 --> 00:35:01.400 your carriage and let me take you home in mine... 00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:03.760 Oh, thank you, Mr. Utterson, but I'd like to 00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:06.280 be alone. You understand. You'll have to go with 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.159 Beatrice. Oh, no, thank you, Henry. No, I... 00:35:09.210 --> 00:35:11.949 I really do wish to be by myself for a time. 00:35:12.889 --> 00:35:18.650 I see. I'll call on you then tomorrow. If I am 00:35:18.650 --> 00:35:21.650 able... Oh, no. I shall be busy tomorrow. There's 00:35:21.650 --> 00:35:24.429 so much to do winding up father's affairs. Perhaps 00:35:24.429 --> 00:35:27.110 if I... I'll get in touch with you, Henry. Good 00:35:27.110 --> 00:35:30.190 day. Good day, Mr. Utterson. Good day, Beatrice. 00:35:32.530 --> 00:35:37.190 Jack will join me in my carriage. I... I want 00:35:37.190 --> 00:35:39.690 to talk to you. My own carriage is waiting. Send 00:35:39.690 --> 00:35:42.989 it along. I must talk with you. As you wish. 00:35:43.849 --> 00:35:46.429 You may go along, Johnson. I'm riding with Mr. 00:35:46.570 --> 00:35:52.750 Utterson. After you, Jekyll. Well, what is it? 00:35:53.849 --> 00:35:57.650 I, uh... I want to talk to you about your will. 00:35:57.710 --> 00:36:00.409 Oh, what now, Utterson? I will need you to ask. 00:36:00.969 --> 00:36:03.349 You read the newspapers. You know this man Edward 00:36:03.349 --> 00:36:05.989 Hyde is a monster, a murderer sought by the police. 00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:08.699 God knows what your connection with him may be, 00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:10.860 what hold he has on you, and you needn't say 00:36:10.860 --> 00:36:14.519 he hasn't, he must have. Why else would a man 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:16.860 of your reputation, a celebrated and respected 00:36:16.860 --> 00:36:19.619 position, leave all his worldly possessions to 00:36:19.619 --> 00:36:23.679 such a human horror? They are my possessions. 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:26.260 I have the right to do with them as I wish. And 00:36:26.260 --> 00:36:28.719 I the right as you are solicitor to refuse to 00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:30.579 let you do? You can't stop me. Well, perhaps 00:36:30.579 --> 00:36:33.980 I can. How? In what way? Not sure. I'll have 00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:37.519 to seek advice on this. It may very well be, 00:36:37.739 --> 00:36:40.639 Jekyll, on grounds of protecting you from yourself, 00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:44.199 that I can have you declared incompetent to handle 00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.820 your affairs. Incompetent? Why incompetent? How 00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:50.239 dare you say such a thing to me? How dare you 00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.739 even think such a thing? Jekyll, let go of my 00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:56.679 hand! Your first words! Edward Hyde is to inherit 00:36:56.679 --> 00:36:58.920 everything, everything, in the event of my death 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.159 or my disappearance. What is the matter with 00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:05.230 you? Take your hand off! Jekyll, your hand! Jekyll, 00:37:05.329 --> 00:37:11.550 your hand! Long hair! Think that those are becoming... 00:37:11.550 --> 00:37:16.230 Hey, you meddling little pipsnake! Thanks! It's 00:37:16.230 --> 00:37:19.190 changing! Of course it's changing, you interfering 00:37:19.190 --> 00:37:22.090 muddlehead! Do me out of my inheritance, would 00:37:22.090 --> 00:37:25.110 you? Prevent me from inheriting Jekyll's wealth? 00:37:25.429 --> 00:37:31.190 You! Oh my God! Your height! You are at what 00:37:31.190 --> 00:37:36.500 I... Yes, Edward Hyde. Edward Hyde. Murderer. 00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:39.940 Murderer. Edward Hyde. Monster, according to 00:37:39.940 --> 00:37:42.679 you. Oh, yes, but how? How could you? No, no, 00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:54.840 you're... Try! No! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Henry? 00:37:55.619 --> 00:38:06.130 Henry? It's Beatrice. Let me in. I've come to 00:38:06.130 --> 00:38:13.550 help you. Let me in. Oh, Beatrice. Oh, Beatrice. 00:38:13.849 --> 00:38:17.590 It's the end. It's the end, Beatrice. The end. 00:38:17.989 --> 00:38:20.969 The potion doesn't work anymore. It's useless. 00:38:21.630 --> 00:38:24.449 Hyde takes over whenever he pleases. Oh dear, 00:38:24.550 --> 00:38:27.289 Lohman, there must be something we can... What 00:38:27.289 --> 00:38:30.309 is this gun? I meant to take my life and this 00:38:30.309 --> 00:38:34.230 horror once and for all. But he won't let me. 00:38:34.550 --> 00:38:36.550 I have only to pick up the gun and he returns. 00:38:37.070 --> 00:38:41.170 I no longer have any will of my own. He possesses 00:38:41.170 --> 00:38:48.849 me, owns me, like a demon. What is it? Get off 00:38:48.849 --> 00:38:53.550 your fist. Leave me at once. You're changing. 00:38:53.929 --> 00:38:58.190 You're becoming high. Let go of me. Let go of 00:38:58.190 --> 00:39:02.590 you? When I've wanted you. Land for you. Blasted 00:39:02.590 --> 00:39:05.769 for you miss, my lovely creature, all these months, 00:39:06.030 --> 00:39:10.409 huh? Don't kiss me! Oh yes, yes, yes! Kiss you, 00:39:10.929 --> 00:39:16.829 and fondle you, and caress you, and... No! You're 00:39:16.829 --> 00:39:19.429 stronger than I thought you were! My beautiful 00:39:19.429 --> 00:39:23.050 beast! Good, good, very good! That makes us more 00:39:23.050 --> 00:39:27.860 eloquent! Get away! Get away! From you! Stay 00:39:27.860 --> 00:39:30.599 away from you who were made for love. Would you 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:36.699 deny a man the pleasure? Say, you're very, very 00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:40.980 quick. Strong too. Strong and quick. And desirable. 00:39:42.260 --> 00:39:45.300 Don't try to elude me, you can't. You know you 00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:49.280 can't. You are strong, but I am stronger. You 00:39:49.280 --> 00:40:02.559 are quick, but I am quicker. Beauty and the Beast, 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:06.099 huh? Beauty and the Beast. Put that down. No. 00:40:06.619 --> 00:40:08.780 You could stop Henry Jekyll from using this gun, 00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:12.159 but you can't stop me. Get away from that door. 00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:16.000 Let me out of here. Oh, no. Stay back or I'll 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:22.320 shoot. When you go ahead, shoot. I didn't think 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:28.880 you could. It isn't in you to kill. Even such 00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:35.579 a thing is. Me. No, no. Oh, dear God, help me. 00:40:35.699 --> 00:40:39.420 Just give me the gun right here and then, once 00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:43.920 you're in my arms. No, no. Don't struggle. It'll 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:49.400 do you no good. Give me the gun, please. Miss 00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:54.800 Vanden, oh, good heavens, Miss Vanden. Miss Vanden, 00:40:56.619 --> 00:41:02.659 the gun went off. I killed Mr. Hyde. Hyde? But 00:41:02.659 --> 00:41:08.539 on the floor. That's Dr. Jekyll. What? See for 00:41:08.539 --> 00:41:16.139 yourself. Oh, yes. I see. But if the gun killed 00:41:16.139 --> 00:41:23.780 Mr. Hyde, how? Ask any questions now, Pooh. Not 00:41:23.780 --> 00:41:35.309 now. Just go and fetch the police. As a baffled 00:41:35.309 --> 00:41:38.090 and distraught pool rushes out into the storm 00:41:38.090 --> 00:41:41.670 to find a policeman, Beatrice Langan gazes down 00:41:41.670 --> 00:41:46.510 at the body of Dr. Henry Jekyll. Or is it Edward 00:41:46.510 --> 00:42:01.639 Hyde? I'll be back shortly. You may like to know 00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.400 that the adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.420 I just brought you comes closer to Stevenson's 00:42:07.420 --> 00:42:10.840 original than any other I know. I think you'll 00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:14.599 agree it was as much a mystery as a tale of horror. 00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:18.519 Our cast included Kevin McCarthy, Marion Selditz, 00:42:18.739 --> 00:42:22.199 Ian Martin, and Quote Benson. The entire production 00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:25.860 was under the direction of Hyman Brown. This 00:42:25.860 --> 00:42:28.420 is E .G. Marshall inviting you to return to our 00:42:28.420 --> 00:42:31.619 mystery theater. for another adventure in the 00:42:31.619 --> 00:42:37.300 macabre. Until next time, pleasant dreams.
