(mysterious music)

(solemn music)

- Hello, Doc.

Do you happen to know what time it is?

It's awful dark out here.

Why don't we go to my room?

Here.

Here, hold on.

I don't go for this rough stuff.

Stop it, you hear?

Get off.

(suspenseful music)

(woman shouting)

- [Man] Might I help you, sir?

- I had an appointment with Inspector Wolfe.

I'm afraid I'm a bit late, about 20 minutes, to be exact.

- [Man] And who shall I say is calling, sir?

- Dr. Jekyll, Dr. William Jekyll,

and this is my assistant, Mr. Jack Smithers.

- If you will wait one moment, sir,

I'll get Inspector Wolfe he's been expecting you.

- You think we'll have any trouble getting it?

- You have the papers, you did remember to bring them.

- Oh yes, sir.

- Then I see no reason for them not to let us have it.

- Dr. Jekyll, I'm most honored to make your acquaintance.

I have for many years read your books on the criminal mind.

I find your theories most exciting and revolutionary,

especially the theory of separating

that part of a man's brain which deals with

the evil in a man's soul.

- Inspector Wolfe, I'm most flattered

you have read my books.

However, I feel it necessary to correct you

on one important point.

- [Wolfe] Have I said something wrong?

- No, no, no, not at all.

It's just that I'm afraid you've misinterpreted my writings.

I did not say the evil in man's soul.

So you see, I do not believe in a soul.

I believe in facts.

I believe in what I can see and touch.

What is real.

This thing called soul, as you call it,

is a figment of man's imagination.

Something brought on by himself

to help his everyday existence.

Man has invented this soul to help him

to get out of today's difficulties,

to transport him to a hereafter,

a hereafter that doesn't exist.

I can see by the look on your face I've horrified you.

I'm afraid you're not the only one

I've frightened with my theory.

But you see, I am a man of medicine.

I have no time for such things as souls and religions.

I believe in science and medicine, and only in them.

- Well, I'm sure that I cannot agree with you.

I've always been brought up as a firm believer in religion.

I can understand that your theories, as you call them,

shock some people.

I trust, Mr. Smithers, that as a young medical student,

you do not share the same beliefs as Dr. Jekyll, then?

- I'm afraid I must remain neutral.

No comment.

- 1 do have a very annoying habit of expelling my beliefs

at the expense and discomfort of others.

Please forgive me, I do apologize.

- Nonsense.

You've as much right to your opinion as I have to mine.

It makes the world go round.

- Now, down to business.

You are aware of the nature of my visit?

- I knew that you were paying me a visit.

- Well, in that case, let me explain.

You have here at the police morgue

the body of a Timothy Brail, who only five days ago

murdered and mutilated a young girl.

I have papers releasing that body into my custody

signed by the wife of the deceased.

She had turned over all claim of the body to me.

- May I see them, please?

- Of course, Jack.

They have been signed by the proper authorities

endorsing this action.

How did he kill himself?

- Hung himself in his cell.

We never expected that he was suicidal.

He took the sheets from his bed and tore them into strips.

We found him the next morning.

- Good, then the body's in good condition?

- Quite good.

May I ask what you plan to do with it?

- I plan to use it for classroom study.

My students and I was will study the brain, primarily,

and then dissect the body.

- Have you transportation?

- Yes, thank you, we have a wagon out back.

- Good.

Then I'll show you the way to the morgue.

- Thank you.

Now, we are very fortunate in having obtained

the body of a murderer.

The brain of this man will show quite vividly

the area affected by evil.

His past history of violence and sadism

will have affected that area in the brain

that I've shown you in your studies.

Are there any questions?

Victoria?

- [Victoria] How old was the man?

- According to police records, he was 34.

Do you think age important?

- His age in police or hospital records

should coincide with the area of the brain

that we're studying.

- [William] You are correct.

Now, will you explain to the class a little further

your reasons for asking this question?

- We have learned in the last six months

that a person's past affects the brain area

that we've been studying.

Since we know that he has a history of violence

since childhood, we shall undoubtedly find with autopsy

that his brain has recorded this violence

on the area we shall study.

- [William] Thank you, Ms. Crenshaw.

Jones, what was your question?

- With this new method you've been working on, Dr. Jekyll,

would a doctor be able to foretell the symptoms,

and therefore treat them before they got out of hand?

- I have discovered something that even you,

my trusted students, do not know.

I hadn't meant to tell you until I had done more research,

but I must tell someone and I think it should be you.

I know this is incredible, but I have found a way

to isolate and therefore treat

the evil in a living animal's brain.

- [Victoria] Fantastic.

- I have been experimenting with everything from guinea pigs

to larger animals, such as horses and gorillas.

And in every animal I gave my formula to,

the same results were evident.

They all reacted in the very same way.

MacGregor?

- [MacGregor] Have you tried it on anything human?

- [William] No, the risk would be too great.

- Suppose the subject was willing.

- You all know as well as I do that my reputation

has been questioned by the rest of the medical profession

because of my theories.

Out of all Europe, I could only find six medical students

that were willing to listen to my theories.

You, my six wonderful students.

But one day, I hope you'll be proud

to have been Dr. Jekyll's students.

I spent many hours going over your school history and notes

before I even dared approach you.

You'll never know how many refused.

- Suppose one of us would volunteer as the first human.

Would you consider it?

- Certainly not.

You are all much too valuable to me to take that risk.

- Then how shall we ever know if it's a success or not?

- I am convinced that it will work on a human.

I have written to the authorities

requesting permission to try it on dead criminals.

But other unnamed doctors have stopped my every attempt.

- [Victoria] Well, what will you do now?

- I don't know.

But I'll find a way to try it out.

I seem to be rambling today.

We must get on with our discussion.

First, you will cut open the skull of the cadaver here.

Expose the brain and then inject the formula.

Class?

Ordinarily, the subject would only have to drink

the formula, but as this subject has been embalmed,

we must inject the fluid directly into the brain.

Now we must prepare the body for demonstration.

Lucas, Webb, and MacGregor will use a surgical saw

to cut open the skull.

The rest of you will clean and prepare

the brain for demonstration.

Now, there's one important thing.

You must think of this patient as still being alive,

as if it were a hospital operation.

(knocking on door) Yes, come in.

- Excuse me, Dr. Jekyll. - Yes?

- Miss Marsden wishes to see you.

- You know I don't like to be disturbed during class.

- I told her that, but she still wouldn't go away.

She insists that she sees you.

- Very well.

The rest of you prepare the body for the demonstration.

Jack, will you keep an eye on things?

Excuse me, I'll be right back.

- Ready?

Victoria, (indistinct), please.

Huh? (door closes)

(Mary Ann vocalizing)

- William.

- Mary Ann, what is it?

- You really don't know, do you?

- What?

- You promise to meet father and I for lunch today.

- That was tomorrow, wasn't it?

- What am I going to do?

- It completely slipped my mind.

- It's not the first time.

- It probably wouldn't be the last.

I am sorry, but you know how preoccupied I get sometimes.

It'll be different after we're married.

- After we're married it certainly will be different.

I'll be able to look after you then.

Now, whatever you do, don't you dare forget about tonight.

- What's tonight?

- Oh, William.

I've been waiting for tonight all week.

Mother and I have planned a beautiful dinner.

A girl likes to remember her engagement party

for the rest of her life.

Besides, Oliver wants you to reach through a speech

he's written for the medical conference

in Scotland next week.

- Well, why can't your father do it?

- You know how Oliver feels about Father.

He thinks that Father's old fashioned in his medicine

and wouldn't be able to give proper criticism.

- You tell your brother Oliver that I'll be glad

to help him if he'll bring it round to me

tomorrow afternoon, about three.

Besides, we don't want to talk shop on our special night, do we?

- Oh, thank you for that.

- For what?

- For telling Oliver to come round tomorrow.

That's exactly what I wanted you to say.

William, do you realize that after we're married,

I'll never have to worry about getting sick again.

- Why?

- Well, because there'll be three doctors in the family.

You and Oliver and Father.

- Haven't thought about that.

In fact, I hadn't thought of your father as being a doctor.

- You really don't like Father, do you?

- It's not that don't like him.

It's just that he's so fashioned in his methods.

It's men like your father in our profession

that hold doctors back like your brother and I.

Every time we come up with something,

your father and some of his old cronies

down at the medical league refuse to even listen to us.

Forces us to carry on our experiments

in secret for fear of being ridiculed by them.

Therefore, we have to seek financing

by becoming either second-rate doctors

to anyone at any price, giving up our experiments,

or taking on private students as I've been forced to do.

- If it's money you want, you know Father

would be more than glad to give it to you.

- You know that I'm too proud to take money off of anyone,

let alone your father.

Can you imagine what it would be like?

Questioning every move I make before he'd release

a single penny.

Still, I am luckier than most, I do have this house

and the legacy Mother left me,

which at least affords me to live in a little style

for the rest of my life.

I guess Mother knew what it would be like

if she left me any liquid assets.

I'd have gone through it in a very short time.

I do wish your father and I didn't argue

every time we got together.

- I wish it too.

Oh, it upsets Mother and I.

- I know, and I'm sorry.

I did warn you when I asked you to marry me

that I was very, very strong-willed and stubborn,

and that you'd have to accept me the way I was.

Do you remember what you said there

- How come you remember that, but you don't remember lunch?

- Don't change the subject.

Do you remember?

- Yes. - Tell me.

- I said that I loved you so much just the way you were

that I'd never try to change you in a million years.

I do, William.

I love you so much.

(gentle music)

(clears throat)

- All right, sir.

We're just about ready for the demonstration, sir.

- Oh, I'm sorry to have kept you.

I really must be leaving.

I promise I'll never bother you again in your class.

Goodbye, I'll see you tonight.

And don't forget, 8:30.

- [William] Is it ready for the injection?

- We'll be ready in a moment.

- Jack, will you fetch the formula?

It's in my cupboard in the phial marked 124 "Confidential."

Jones, could you pass the jar of (indistinct), please?

We'll need it to mix with the formula.

- [Student] We're just about ready, Dr. Jekyill.

- [William] Perfect.

Lucas, pass me the hypodermic from the sideboard.

Thank you.

Now, is everybody ready?

- Yes. - Yes, sir.

- [William] Good, well gather round.

Victoria, will you fill the hypodermic for me?

(mysterious music)

Now this formula works in a very, very short time.

In a few moments, the area of evil

should begin to show up with a shade of green, see?

Here, and here.

Now, the darker the shade, the more the evil.

The lighter the shade, the lesser.

This man had an abnormal amount of evil in his being.

See here?

And then here.

- Yes, but how would a doctor be able to tell this

without an operation of this sort?

Cutting open the brain?

- I have discovered that within the hour,

the patient's skin turns a light shade of green also.

But the subject that isn't afflicted with this evil

is not in the least affected.

- Do you mean to say that the patient had something else,

such as a tumor pressing against the brain?

The color would be showing.

- Precisely.

It only shows the evil in man.

- It's incredible.

- Unbelievable.

- To some maybe, but not to me.

I know for a fact it's the truth.

- 1 don't believe you.

I don't believe it's possible to do such a thing.

- Are you calling me a liar?

- You say that you've experimented on animals.

What does that prove?

You haven't tried it out on a human.

How do you know that a human won't react differently?

- I don't!

That's why I must have a human to try it on.

- I think that you're insane.

- Do you realize what you're saying?

- Well, I just can't go along with

any of his crackpot ideas any longer.

- I'm sorry you feel that way.

I didn't realize that any of you doubted any of my evidence.

Does anyone else feel this way?

- No, sir. - No.

- Well, I see that I stand alone.

Very well.

I shan't take up any more of your precious time.

I'll send for my books this afternoon.

Thank you very much, Dr. Jekyll,

for what you've taught me up to now.

But I think it my duty to warn you,

you're playing with things that are no concern of yours.

They belong to one supreme being, God.

And you've no right to tamper with nature as he gave it.

God will punish you.

You'll see.

I'm warning you.

(solemn music)

- I'm very sorry that had to happen.

But Murphy is a typical example of the hostility

in our profession towards progressive experiments.

I've got quite used to the reaction.

In our profession, one has to have a back like a duck.

Roll off like water.

(students chuckling)

Shall we proceed with the next step?

We will now dissect the body.

Smithers and MacGregor, you take the head.

Victoria the leg, amputate from the mid-thigh down.

Webb, you take the abdomen.

Now we're running rather short on time.

So I want you to use the shortest, easiest methods

to cut and amputate.

Use cleavers if you wish

(tense music)

(gentle music)

Jack!

Come here, quickly.

- What is it?

- Now watch carefully.

It works.

It works, see, look Jack.

Finally at last I've found a cure.

I found a way of removing evil from the brain.

I never thought I'd ever succeed.

Do you realize what this means, Jack?

It means that the world will be able to, in time,

stop all abnormalities of a violent nature in man

with this chemical I've discovered.

Muderers, rapists, sex criminals will all

be able to be treated.

We must make another batch immediately.

Here, take this and put it in a safe place.

I've finally found the right formula on paper.

Tomorrow, as soon as you come into work,

or tonight if you can, I want you to make copies of this

and put it into my notebook, for safety's sake.

If this were to be lost, it might never be discovered again.

(glass shatters)

You fool, you stupid, clumsy fool!

I'm sorry, Jack, I shouldn't have done that.

I'm very sorry.

Please forgive me.

I'm very, very tired.

- It was my fault.

Should be more careful.

Let's make another batch.

I'll work all night if necessary.

- I'll do that.

You go and rest.

You go home and rest.

Been going since early this morning.

Ooh!

(knocking on door)

Who is it?

- Just Carla, who has come to see

that you start to get dressed for your engagement dinner.

Mary Ann made me promise that I would make sure

that we got there on time.

Oh, William, what have you done to your hand?

Oh really, you're worse than a child sometimes.

Now come with me and I'll fix it up

before you bleed to death.

- All right, I can fix it.

- It's not all right, it's a very deep cut.

Now come with me and don't argue.

- I'll be right back, Jack.

(mysterious music)

- Oh.

(Jack mumbling)

- Good.

Now, eight...

Pen.

(drawer clatters)

Eight two...

Z...

(Jack mumbling)

That's got to be it.

- All right, go on home, I can carry on myself.

- Well, at least let me stay and try and-

- Don't argue with me, go on home.

- I hope you'll forgive.

- It's forgotten already, now go on.

Well, what is it?

- Nothing.

(William humming)

(knocking on door)

- Yes?

- Dr. Jekyll, it's getting pretty late

and you're to be at the Marsdens'.

Miss Jekyll has asked me to please hurry you on, sir.

She's all dressed and waiting in the main hall.

- Yes, I'll be there in a few minutes.

I have your evening clothes all laid out and ready, sir.

- I said I'll be there in a minute.

Now stop bothering me and go away!

- Yes, sir.

- What did he say?

Is he coming?

- No, miss, he told me to get out.

- Oh, he did, did he?

Very well, Jenson.

I'll take care of him.

You have everything ready and I'll get him

here in two minutes.

William, you must get dressed immediately.

It's gone 8:30.

It isn't proper for you to be late

to your own engagement party.

Now come and get dressed.

Are you coming or not?

- I'll be there in a minute.

- Oh, you're absolutely impossible.

I'm not going to wait for you another moment.

Just because you are inconsiderate,

there's no reason for me to be.

I suppose I'll see you at the Marsdens'.

(solemn music)

- Mary Ann, what is it?

- Do you know what time it is?

It's nine o'clock already and we've been waiting for you

since 8:30. - I'm sorry.

But I made my discovery today, and I got so excited,

I forgot all about the time.

(gentle music)

(people laughing)

- Oliver tells me, William, that you are on the verge

of a new discovery. - That is correct, sir.

I should like to hear about it sometime.

- [William] I'd be glad to, but only after

I've proven my experiment.

- If you need any help or advice,

I should be glad to be of assistance.

- I'm afraid, Father, William is a loner.

He works best on his own.

He won't even confide in me, and I'm

more his contemporary than you.

- I don't know what is implied by that remark.

- Nothing, Father.

I only meant that William and I

are a little more current on medicine than you.

- I resent that remark, Oliver.

- [William] I don't think Oliver meant it

as an insult against your integrity, sir.

It's just that he feels the same way as I do

about medical league.

- And what, may ask, is wrong with the medical league?

- You know as well as we do, Father,

that it's made up of a bunch of old-fashioned,

pompous, jealous, old hypocrites.

- If we didn't have those old hypocrites, as you call them,

in charge of the league, we should have nothing

but a lot of unskilled quacks in our profession.

- Oh no, Father, really.

William and I are only interested in the professional league

giving a chance to our young doctors to be heard.

- Any qualified doctor can be heard by the league.

Yes, of course, and then after they've heard it,

they dismiss it.

Two weeks later, one of your older doctors

just happens to come up with exactly the same theory.

- This is nonsense. - Is it?

What about young Dr. Hanley.

He came up with a theory of sterilization

in childbirth to cut down the mortality rate in infants.

He had facts and figures to back up his claims.

He proved without a doubt that the practice

of having unwashed midwives to care for babies

in childbirth was the main cause of death.

- [Mr. Marsden] Dr. Hanley-

- Just a minute, sir, I haven't finished.

Two weeks later, your close friend Chumley

came up with exactly the same theory.

- Coincidence. - Coincidence, hell.

- William!

You must apologize to Dr. Marsden.

After all, we are his guests.

- [William] I'm sorry, sir.

Will you all please forgive me?

- It was my fault for allowing you men folk

to discuss such matters at the dinner table.

My husband knows how this upsets me.

- Carla and I have got some tickets for the opera

Wednesday next.

We thought to surprise you.

- I'm afraid you'll have to exclude me,

for that is the night of the next meeting of the league.

- [Oliver] I have also made other plans.

- But Oliver, we need you to go with us.

- [Oliver] Sorry.

- Well, that leaves you, William,

to escort three very attractive young ladies.

- [Mrs. Marsden] Two.

- I hate to disappoint you ladies, but I can't go either.

You see, my class and I are attending

a lecture that evening.

- Well, it looks as though you'll have to

turn back the tickets, Mary Ann.

It looks as though we have no escort.

And I'm certainly not going to ask Cousin Edward again.

- Actually, we should have known better

than to plan anything with these three men.

But it'll stand as a lesson to us in the future.

- Speaking of a future, I think we've all gotten off

the reason for us being together tonight.

May I propose a toast to William and my Mary Ann.

May they always be happy on their journey

down the path of life.

May their joys be many and their sorrows few.

May good luck smile on them and good fortune

be their housekeeper.

(glasses clanging)

My mother gave that toast to Walter and me

on our engagement, and her mother before her.

I think I'm going to cry.

- Oh, Mother.

That was the most beautiful thing I ever heard.

But if you start to cry, I shall cry.

- What are your plans, William?

- I shall carry on with my experiments after we're married.

- [Oliver] William is on the verge of discovering

how to isolate the evil in a being, and to destroy it.

- Yes, I've heard of your experiment,

and you really believe that this can be possible?

Of course, I wouldn't carry on if I didn't think it were.

- But surely you must have some proof (indistinct)

to continue them.

- [Mrs. Marsden] Walter, I ask you please

not to discuss business at the dinner table.

- Well, this is my table.

I make the money to put food upon it,

and if I wish to speak at it, I shall.

- [Mrs. Marsden] Walter, please.

Oh, very well, have it your own way.

- Do you have proof of your experiments?

- Only on animals.

- Surely you don't plan to try it on humans.

- I have written to the prison authorities

asking for a volunteer.

As of yet, I haven't had a reply.

- I'm afraid you won't receive a reply.

- [Oliver] Father, you didn't-

- Sit down.

The league and I have discussed your theories,

as you call them, and we have decided

that we cannot be a party to any such hair-brained ideas

as allowing you to experiment on human beings.

If something should go wrong with your experiment,

we of the medical profession could all be blamed.

We must protect our reputations at all costs.

- Just who in the hell do you think you are?!

You have absolutely no right to tell me

what I should or should not do!

I've known someone's been working against me

for a long time, but I didn't think it was you!

Now let me tell you something.

Neither you nor anyone is going to stop my work.

I will succeed, and you and your bloody league

can go to hell!

- Father, how could you?

- Mary Ann, sit down.

- I will not sit down, I will go with William.

You had no right to do such a thing.

(knocking on door)

- Why, Dr. Jekyll.

I didn't expect you home so soon, sir.

Is the dinner party over?

- Mr. Marsden and I had one of our fights.

- Unhappy to hear that, sir.

- Doesn't matter, really.

In future, I'll have to refuse all invitations

to the Marsdens'.

- And I'd hoped things would go so well

for you and Miss Marsden tonight, sir.

- Thank you for your concern, Jensen.

Who the hell can that be?

- You go into the library, sir, and I'll see who it is.

Then I'll bring you a large glass of brandy.

Miss Marsden.

- Is William home?

- Why, yes, miss, he arrived home just a few minutes ago.

Please come in.

(door closes)

I will tell Dr. Jekyll you are here.

- No, please don't bother, Jensen.

I can tell him myself.

You go on to bed now.

I can let myself out.

Go on, Jensen, it's all right.

William?

William?

- [William] Over here, Mary Ann.

I thought it would be you.

- Do you mind terribly if I sit at your feet

and worship you for a while?

- It's not going to work.

- What isn't? - Our marriage.

- Surely you didn't let Father upset you that much.

- It's not just that, it's everything.

- Now look here, William Jekyill.

You're not going to get out of it.

You're going to marry me and that's final.

- It's not only your father, it's me.

- What's wrong with you, pray tell?

- I'm undependable.

I swear.

Every doctor in the profession laughs at me.

If we got married, our whole life would be

one long heartache.

- I love you, William.

I want to marry you as you are.

I'm not a foolish little girl who doesn't know

what she's letting herself in for.

I come from a whole family of doctors.

I know what it's like to be married to one.

No, it's not going to work.

You're going to have to marry me just the way I am.

- You little deuvil.

You really know how to handle me, don't you?

I think I'd better tell Jensen he can retire for the night.

- I already have.

I have to think for the two of us now.

You've got your experiments to think about,

and I'll have to take over all the other problems by myself.

- I'm sorry I got angry with your father tonight.

- You were right.

He had no excuse to meddle with your life.

- Then you're not angry with me?

- I'm proud of you.

I wouldn't want a man who is weak.

You know I'm not a weak little thing either.

- Concerning me.

- We're going to make a good team.

There'll be such a lot of people for us to fight.

Could take on the world with you by my side.

- You said the right thing.

- You always seem to know when to say the right thing.

(solemn music) (William coughing)

- Did you put in the order for some more?

- Yes, sir.

- How many did you order?

- Same as last month.

- And when will it be delivered?

- They told me we would have to wait until

the first of the month before shipment.

- Why, that's outrageous, I can't wait that long.

- There's nothing we can do but wait.

- How can I carry on my experiments

if I haven't the animals to work with?

Are you positive there's no way we can get

some vicious animals to work on?

- They told me the shipment hadn't come as promised.

- Isn't that just my luck?

I finally discover the solution

to correct the isolation formula.

I've got nothing to work on.

- I think we ought to wait anyway.

- Why do you say that?

- Well, you only discovered the solution the other day,

and I think you ought to check it out again before using it.

- Well, you saw as well as I did

that it worked on that brain.

- Yes, but it'll be used on a living animal’s brain

at least a dozen times or so, you told me that yourself.

- Well, it's no good arguing about it anyway,

we haven't got the animals to work with.

You may as well go home.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Good night.

- There is one thing I ought to tell you before I go.

- What's that? - If's about the formula.

- Well, what about it?

- The other day when I broke that phial, I-

- Yes?

- It doesn't matter I tell you.

- What is it?

- It doesn't matter, good night.

(mysterious music)

(William sighs)

(suspenseful music)

(William crying)

(dramatic music)

- I must get the antidote!

(dramatic music)

(eerie music)

(William laughing)

(singing indistinctly)

(people chattering and laughing)

- Oh, (indistinct).

How'd you like me song?

Great, isn't it?

- What do you want me to tell ya?

I already told you what I think about ya.

You're coming back with me tonight after the show, ain't ya?

- Who knows?

Depends what happens between now and then, doesn't it?

- Oh.

I just got paid.

- Did you now? - Yeah.

And I've got it all there, right in me pocket.

- Oh.

(man laughing)

Not so fast, ducky.

I'll let ya pick me pocket if you come back with me tonight.

- How much you got?

- Ah, that would be telling now, wouldn't it?

I knows how much I likes you.

And there ain't no one in the whole of London

that can (indistinct), and you knows it, don't you?

- You has got a lot of cheek.

Where the hell are those drinks?

Thelma!

What did you do that for?

- I like the way you look.

I think you and I will get along very well together.

- You've got some cheek, let go of me.

- You're staying with me.

- I'm not, not let go of me or I call for help.

(player piano music)

- I thought you'd change your mind.

- You're fresh, aren't you?

- There's plenty more where that came from.

Besides, you like your men fresh, don't you?

- What do you mean?

- You don't have to be shy with me.

I bet you and I are gonna get along very well together.

- You're hurting me!

You're hurting my arm!

(April gasps)

You ought to be careful in here.

Put out better men than you, and for less.

- We'd better go to your place.

What's your name, my dear?

- April.

What's yours?

- Call me Danny.

Yes.

Call me Danny.

- Do you live around here?

- No, I'm from up north.

- Haven't seen you around here before.

- You will, only when I want you to.

- Is that a promise?

- I always keep my promises.

Have you ever heard of De Sade?

- Who's he?

- Oh, someone you should know about.

- Is he rich like you?

- Very rich.

But not in a way that you would ever understand

he's rich in mind.

- What are you talking about?

- He likes to do things to people, sexual things.

- Oh, there you go talking dirty.

Are they good, the things he likes to do to people?

- Oh yes, if you looked at it the way he did.

He was right, you know.

- So long as he was right, that's all that matters, isn't it?

- I shall teach you some of the things that he taught.

- You'd like that, wouldn't you, April?

- Yes, sir.

- Where the hell have you been?

Why didn't you come back?

I thought we had a date.

- Nothing definite, just said "maybe."

- Well, maybe is the same as yes, as far as I'm concerned.

- The lady's staying with me.

- She's going with me.

- And who said she's a lady?

(man singing indistinctly)

- I don't think you hear very well.

I said the lady's staying with me.

- That's what you think.

- Excuse me, my dear.

We have something to discuss.

(dramatic music)

I knew you'd see it my way, old man.

Shall we go, my dear?

- You'll have to excuse the way it looks.

It's only a temporary flat.

I'm planning on moving over near Alley Street

in a couple of months.

I have a gentleman friend who's a doctor.

Wants me to move over near his place of residence,

'cause it'd be more convenient for him,

if you know what I mean.

But that won't be for a couple of months yet.

Not till he gets back from America.

Want me to fix you a drink?

- Come here.

- We're in a hurry, aren't we? - I said come here.

- Ow!

That hurts!

I'm not gonna play games with you

if you're gonna be so rough.

- 1 didn't come here to play games.

Now go and wash that filthy makeup off your face.

You look like a cheap little tramp.

- Ow!

That hurt!

- Shut up about "that hurts."

- Gonna put on something nice for you.

- Haven't you got any pictures?

- [April] Pictures, what kind of pictures?

Ah, you mean that sort of pictures.

Nah, I'm not that sort of girl.

What do you take me for?

- Awhore.

- [April] That's not very nice.

- Not a very nice kind of girl.

You haven't seen me yet.

I always give my gentlemen friends what they pay for.

Want me to fix you a drink?

- Later.

(April gasps)

You always give them what they pay for, don't you?

And I pay you very well, don't I?

And you're gonna do as I tell you, aren't you?

There's a good girl, April.

Now you can fix me that drink, like a good little girl.

(April gasps)

(April gasps)

(tense music)

Now, what would you want to do that for?

You wouldn't want to run out on me, would you?

We've got lots of things to talk about,

lots of things to do.

- Please let me go.

- I'll let you go.

When I'm finished with you.

You're a cheap little slut, you know that, don't you?

You shouldn't be allowed on the face of this Earth.

You're scum.

You're the defecation of the slums of London.

(April whimpers)

Shut up.

Shut up, I said!

(April shouting)

(suspenseful music)

Oh, did I hurt the poor little girl?

Did the bad man hurt the little girl?

Don't you ever try that again.

I'll let you know when you can go.

And if ever you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you.

Now light me a cigar.

Sit down, April, by me.

No April, on the floor.

I said the floor

(April gasps)

Stay there.

There's nothing a man likes better than to come home

to a cigar, a beautiful wife, and his dog.

Only you're not so beautiful, and I don't have a dog.

You be my doggy, eh?

Nice doggy.

Nice doggy.

Bark?

(April gasps)

Go on, bark.

(April barking)

(dramatic music)

I like you, April, I like you a lot.

I'm gonna see a lot of you.

(April crying)

Don't cover up, my dear.

I want to see you.

After all, I paid for that privilege, didn't I?

(dramatic music)

(William laughing) (April gasping)

(William groaning)

Not yet.

It isn't time yet.

We don't want to spoll it, do we?

If you tell anyone of this, I shall kill you.

(dramatic music)

(April crying)

- What you leering at, then?

Haven't you ever seen a lady before?

Well, don't just stand there.

Make me an offer.

What is it with you?

(dramatic music)

(suspenseful music)

- William?

Wake up, William.

- What?

- What are you doing here?

Why aren't you in your own room?

And what have you done to your clothes?

- I must've fallen asleep.

- What have you done to your clothes, William?

- What do you mean?

- Well look, your shirt is torn.

You've got some dark stains on it.

- I went for a walk last night.

A dog attacked me.

All of a sudden...

I don't remember!

It was sometime last night.

April.

It was in April.

- I don't understand you, William.

I don't think you should have your class today.

I think it would be a good idea if you just rested instead.

Jensen?

Now, you've been working too hard.

Now why don't I have Oliver come over

and give you a checkup?

- [Jensen] You called, miss?

- Yes, Jensen.

I want you to make Dr. Jekyll some tea

and lay out some fresh clothes for him.

Oh, and Jensen?

Send for Dr. Oliver Marsden.

- No. - What?

- I said no, I don't want him here.

- Yes, but you must-

- I said no!

- At least let me send word to your students

not to come in today.

- No, I'm all right, I'm just a little tired, that's all.

- But I'm worried about you, William.

First the other night at the Marsdens’, and now this.

And at the slightest provocation, you get angry.

You never used to be this way.

Always used to be so good-natured,

until you started with these experiments with the brain.

Can't you put them aside for a little while?

At least until after you're married.

It isn't fair to Mary Ann to be this way.

At least not right now.

I haven't told you, but Oliver and I

are going to be married this winter,

and I won't be able to take care of the house.

Mary Ann thought I would be here after your marriage

and everything, but-

- I'm glad that you and Oliver have finally fixed a date.

I'm very happy for you both.

- Your tea, sir.

And I brought you something to eat.

- Will you please let Oliver come and look at you?

- I said no.

- But suppose - - Don't keep onto me!

I said no!

- But I'm only trying to-

- I said no, do you understand?

Don't (indistinct).

Get out!

(suspenseful music)

There was a crime of unusual violence last night.

The killer attacked his victim with a knife,

cutting from the reproductive organs up to the chest span.

The inspector of police, Mr. Wolfe,

informs me that they think the killer has medical knowledge,

judging by the incisions made.

He also informs me that after the killer

had cut and mutilated the body,

his strung the intestines around the body like ornaments.

(students murmuring)

Yes, Victoria.

That makes it all the more urgent

why we must find the cure for this evil.

Since man was created, he has had

this evil side to his nature.

I say created, but you all know as well as I do

that man evolved from a more primitive being.

This unpleasant side of his nature

must be shown to the light of knowledge.

It must walk hand in hand with medicine and knowledge

towards...

It is warm today.

Where was I?

Oh yes.

This discovery I have made will be of enormous help

in the future, the discovery...

What makes you think you're a lady?

I don't feel very well.

Please excuse me.

I have some headache powders in the other room.

Matt, will you take over the class?

Use the brain... charts!

(door slams)

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

- Is there anything I can do to help?

- I don't know what it is.

Yes I do.

It's the formula. - Formula.

- How did you know?

- I guessed it, it's true, isn't it?

- Yes, I tried it on myself.

I couldn't wait for the animals to come.

- I know it's my fault, I just know it is.

- What do you mean?

- Did you make another batch of antidote?

- Yes, why?

- I just knew I should have told you then.

- Told me what?

- The other day when I broke the flask,

I swept up the broken pieces, and as I was

throwing them out, I knocked over

a flask of liquid on your notebook.

It blurred some of the figures of your formula.

I tried to reconstruct them, but I could've got

the wrong figures down.

- Why didn't tell me immediately?

You fool, you should've told me immediately!

- I meant to, I really did.

- I must find a way to...

I don't want you to tell anyone about this, do you hear?

- But I-

- No one, no one must know, you understand?

- Yes sir.

- I shall need your help.

- Anything.

- After class, you must help me to retrace my notes.

We must find the antidote, before it's too late.

Jack, I must confide in you.

I am unable to trace any of my actions of last night.

I drank the formula....

And I became a different being.

A being possessed with evil.

I don't remember anything until I woke up

this morning in the laboratory.

Then again in the class, the same feeling came over me.

My mind went blank.

I don't even feel normal now.

- I think we should get help.

- No.

No one must know.

If anyone found out, my reputation

as a doctor would be ruined.

Promise me you won't tell anybody.

- All right. - Promise?

- Yeah.

- Better be getting back in.

I'll be in later.

- And the brain tissue as it's put in the solution.

- Let me say a few words to the class before Dr. Jekyll gets back.

He's been working on his experiments day and night

and I think he should rest.

I thought that if we told him-

- Told me what, Smithers?

- I was just telling the class that I think you should-

- Sit down and mind your own business.

Since it seems you do not need instruction,

that you are so well-versed in your profession

as to sit and gossip while I'm out of the room,

we shall see just how much you do know.

Victoria Crenshaw.

Come along, my dear.

Do you want us to wait for you all day

just because you're a poor helpless female?

- I'm sorry, sir.

- Now, tell us what you know about brain concussion.

The floor is yours.

Carry on, my dear.

- The skull, which houses the brain-

- Speak up, my dear, I can't hear you.

- Sorry, the skull-

- Oh, don't be sorry.

You're privileged, to be a female medical student

in this day and age.

After all, we all know you should be at home

looking after snot-nosed little brats.

(eerie music)

You were saying, Victoria?

Go on, Victoria.

- The skull, which houses-

- What makes you think you should be a doctor?

Standing up there acting as if you knew

what you were talking about.

All women should be in bed.

To be used.

Where do you think you're going?

I haven't finished with you yet.

Get your hands off me, you bastard.

Who the hell do you think you are?

(William grunts)

(dramatic music)

(solemn music)

(knocking on door)

- Where is he?

- I called Jensen and we put in bed immediately.

I've given him a sedative.

- Is this the first time you noticed

this drastic change in him?

- Yes, miss, in class today.

- Yes, I noticed a change too.

I thought for a long time he's pushing himself too hard.

The signs of a mental breakdown were too obvious.

- I don't think it's a breakdown.

I think it's much more than that.

- Well, why do you say that?

- You didn't see the way he acted.

He was an entirely different person.

As if he was possessed of...

Well, of evil.

- Do you know what could've brought about this change?

- 'Yes, miss. - Well, what is it?

- I promised Dr. Jekyll I wouldn't tell anyone.

- You must tell me.

If his health is at stake, you must.

- Yes, you're right.

I'm at fault in a way.

- Well, what have you got to do with it?

- Well, you know William has been working

on a chemical that can isolate the good from evil

in @ man's brain? - Yes.

- Well, what you didn't know was that he succeeded.

- Well, that's wonderful.

- And that he's discovered a chemical that can serve

as a treatment to destroy that evil.

- Well, why hasn't he told anyone?

That's marvelous.

- He didn't want to tell anyone till he was absolutely sure.

Anyway, I'm getting from the point.

After he made a flask of the formula

used as a treatment to counteract the first formula,

I broke it.

That's when you came in the room and bandaged his cut.

While you two were out of the room,

I knocked over some liquid on the formula in his notebook.

I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to tell him.

So I rewrote the figures in his notebook.

I meant to tell him about it later.

- Well, what has this got to do with William's condition?

- Coming to that.

He's taken the first formula,

and after seeing the effects of it,

taken the remedy to change back the effects of the first,

without knowing that it was possibly the wrong formula.

Oh, it's my fault, I should have

told him about it immediately.

- Do you know for a fact that he's taken this formula?

- Told me so himself.

- Then we must do something immediately.

- You won't tell him I told you?

I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.

- No, I won't.

You go now and I'll see to everything.

William.

I want to talk to you.

- What is it?

- want you to go and see Dr. Marsden.

- Whatever for?

- I want you to talk to him.

Confide in him.

He can help you.

- What on Earth are you talking about?

- I know everything.

I know that you have been experimenting on yourself

with your chemical formulas.

- Smithers told you that, didn't he?

- [t doesn't matter who told me.

- Did Smithers tell you that?

- It's the truth, isn't it?

- No, it's not.

- You're lying to me.

I can tell when you're lying to me.

- All right, all right, so it's true.

Well, that's my business if I want to experiment on myself.

- It's not your business to ruin your life needlessly

on something you don't know is safe.

You're not the only one involved, William.

What about Mary Ann?

And your students.

What would they do if something goes wrong?

And I worry about you, William.

I worry so about you.

What would I do without you, William?

William, what would I do?

- Stop that now, stop crying.

- Won't you please go and see Oliver?

- I must have some time to think things out.

I must have time.

- All right, then, but how much time?

- Three days.

Give me three days.

- And if you don't get a solution,

you'll go to the Marsdens?

- I promise.

- Will you promise me one more thing?

- What's that?

Don't take any more of your formulas.

- I promise.

Don't worry, everything will be all right, you'll see.

- I hope so.

You must get ready now, William.

It's only 15 more minutes to do.

- I must have more.

(knocking on door)

- [Man] Who is it?

- [William] Jekyll, Dr. Jekyll.

- Just a moment, sir.

(suspenseful music)

Who are you?

- [William] A friend of Dr. Jekyll's.

- I don't know you.

How do you know Dr. Jekyll?

What's your name?

- Wouldn't you like to know.

- I think you'd better leave.

- You told them, didn't you, after he asked you not to!

- How did you know that?

- Jekyll told me.

- 1 don't believe you.

- Ask him!

- Who are you?

Jekyll!

(suspenseful music)

(Smithers shouting)

(William laughing)

(singing indistinctly)

(people chattering)

(ominous music)

- Let's go.

- I'm not going anywhere with you, let go of me.

You're hurting me!

- Don't you ever say no to me.

Don't light it, I like it in the dark.

Come here, April.

Did you miss me?

- No, sir.

(April shouts)

- You said the wrong thing, April.

Did you miss me?

(April grunts)

I didn't pay you to sit there nodding your head

like an animal.

- Yes, sir.

- You see that bag over there?

Bring it to me.

(suspenseful music)

Lie down, April.

- Please sir, please sir-

- I want you to lie down.

Not like that, stupid.

Turn over, I want you face down.

(April gasps)

I want you to remember this moment, April.

I want you to remember this moment

we shall share together for the rest of your life!

(April shouting) (William laughing)

(suspenseful music)

(William shouts)

(knocking on door)

(shouting indistinctly)

(William laughing)

(player piano music)

(people laughing)

(woman shouting)

(William laughing)

(dramatic music)

(people laughing)

- I can't understand Smithers not showing up for class.

It's so unlike him not to have even sent word.

However, we've work to do.

Class, I'm very pleased with the results

of the first time under the microscope.

I know it's a lot to ask of you,

but I want you to go home tonight

and write your findings down in your notebooks.

And I trust none of you will compare notes,

as that would be cheating.

Good night, and...

Good night and thank you very much

for a very hard week's work.

- Excuse me, Dr. Jekyll.

- Yes, Victoria, what is it?

- I was wondering if you could give me some help

or advice on something that I'm doing.

- Well, I'd be glad to.

Anything you wish.

- Well, I'm writing an article on a woman's point of view

on being a woman in the medical profession.

Never done any writing as such.

I don't exactly know how to start it.

- What is the paper you're writing the article for?

- Oh, it's not a newspaper.

For my medical school in Aberdeen.

- Well, in that case, I'd be honored to give you a hand.

First I thought it was one of the dailies.

I'm not too fond of it.

They have a very annoying habit of being absolutely charming

and sympathetic when they interview you,

and then when you see the article next day,

it's of a very adverse nature.

Still, I seem to be rambling.

What was it you wanted me to help you on?

- Well, I don't exactly know how to start the article.

I mean I don't know which form to put it.

I mean, I guess I don't know what I mean.

- Now look, I've a marvelous idea.

Why don't you write this article in the first person?

Write it as if you were writing a diary.

- Well, that's a marvelous idea.

Of course, it would be perfect that way.

I'll start it at the beginning of the day.

A day in the life of a woman who doesn't belong.

Onh, thank you, Dr. Jekyll.

Thank you so much.

- I think you'd better go.

- I'm sorry I did that.

But I've felt this way about you for a long time.

- Yes, I know.

- I didn't think it showed that much.

- I think you'd better go.

April?

- What?

- Get out of herel!

- Dr. Jekyll, are you all right?

- April.

I like you.

I'm going to...

(Victoria screaming)

(dramatic music)

(Dr. Jekyll crying)

I'm sorry, Victoria.

I don't know what came over me.

(solemn music)

(Victoria mumbling)

- Without any warning at all?

- None whatever.

He just turned to me and he was like a different man.

- How was he in class today?

- He was his usual self, except that he was

a little haggard.

- I noticed that at breakfast this morning.

- What are we going to do?

- I'll think of something.

Get your coat, you're coming with me.

(solemn music)

(knocking on door)

- Yes?

- Does Dr. Jekyll live here?

- Yes. - Is he in?

- Yes, but I'm afraid he is resting

and should not be disturbed.

If you please, miss, he should not be disturbed.

- Oh please can I see Dr. Jekyll?

He might be able to help me.

- Is there anything I can do to help you?

- Please can I see Dr. Jekyll?

- Very well, come in.

(door closes)

Please do not keep him too long.

He has not been feeling well and is resting.

If you will wait in the study, miss,

he shall only be a few moments.

If you'll be seated, miss, he'll only be a moment.

(mysterious music)

(knocking on door)

- Who is it? - Jensen, sir.

- Come in.

- There's someone to see you, sir, a lady.

- What's her name?

- I'm sorry sir, I forgot to ask.

She started to cry and I forgot to ask.

- Cry, what's wrong with her?

- I don't know, sir, but I felt you should see her.

She seems to be terribly distraught.

- All right, Jensen, tell her I'll be down in a moment.

- Very well, sir.

(solemn music)

- I'm Dr. Jekyll, I understand you wish to see me.

- Yes, sir.

Is this your card, sir?

- Why, yes it is.

It's an old card of mine, in fact,

I haven't used it for calling since I was

a young man studying medicine.

May I ask how you got it?

- A gentleman I know...

Ain't much of a gentleman.

He dropped it out the black bag he was carrying

and I picked it up.

He didn't know I did it.

I was hoping you could help me, sir.

I'm in terrible trouble.

- Couldn't you go to the police?

- No, he'd kill me if I did, he told me so.

- Who would?

I don't know, sir, this is what I'm coming to you for, sir.

- You think I may know him?

What's his name?

- I don't know.

I only know him by the name of Danny.

(April crying)

- What is it?

- Sir. - What's wrong with your back?

- He hurts it.

- Your friend?

- He ain't my friend, he ain't anyone's friend.

A beast, that's what he is.

- What's your name?

- April, sir.

- What's your last name?

- Connors.

April Connors.

- Do I know you?

I seem to have heard that name before.

- Perhaps you've heard me sing, sir.

I'm a singer.

- No, it's not that, I have...

- You've what, sir?

- Let me see your back, April.

- I don't know you, sir.

- I'm a doctor.

I see people all the time.

- It's not a very pleasant sight.

- Good grief, girl, what have you done to your back?

- It's him, sir.

He did it.

- Bastard, despicable bastard.

What thing could do such a thing to another human being?

I'll help you, April.

I'll see that man never comes near you again.

- Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

(April crying)

(tense music)

- I would never say that Dr. Jekyll will be so stupid

as to try out something as dangerous as this upon himself.

- My brother William will stop at nothing

for the sake of his own experiments.

Even if he endangered his life.

- Miss Crenshaw.

You say that Dr. Jekyll attacked you

in the classroom this afternoon.

Has he ever shown any signs of any change before this?

- Yesterday afternoon again in class.

- I think the best thing for us to do

is to go over there and try and see him.

If things are as bad as the ladies have said they are,

then there's no alternative but for my father and I

to have William committed.

- I don't want William-

- It will only be temporary until we can find

some way of bringing him round to his senses.

- Dr. Marsden is right.

Dr. Jekyll must be committed for his own good

and for the sake of other people.

So if you, Dr. Marsden, and you, Miss Jekyll,

would step this way, Lieutenant Lars

has some papers for us to sign.

(mysterious music)

(player piano music)

- You don't wanna worry anymore, love.

That bastard ain't coming round here no more.

Not while you've got Edna Mae.

You let him show his face around here again.

Here, you got anymore gin, love?

- Oh, we go through that pot already?

Was saving that for me friend Ginger.

- Yeah, wasn't a full bottle, you know.

Here, I'll tell you what.

I'll go down to the pub on the corner

and get us a bottle, all right love?

- Oh, would you.

I get paid Friday and I'll pay you back then, honest.

- Of course you will, love.

But I will have to have it back by then.

Me old man'll break me head in if I don't.

- Oh, well, honest I will.

Oh, get a better brand, not like that Widow's Kiss stuff

we had last time.

I was sick for three days after that.

- It weren't the gin that done you in, love.

That was that weekend with that sailor from Wales.

- That ain't so. - Oh, it is too.

I warned you about them Welsh sailors.

But you were so smart.

Hey, where's my purse?

- Here it is, love.

- I'll be right back.

(player piano music)

(knocking on door)

Who is it?

- [Edna Mag] It's only me.

Edna Mae.

- One minute.

- There.

I thought you'd given up smoking them cigars.

It ain't ladylike for you to smoke 'em, you know.

Look, I'm not gonna have enough,

not for the good stuff, anyway.

You got half a crown?

- Don't know, love.

- Well, do you think you could look?

- Okay.

- Not half a crown.

Two bobbins, five pennies.

- That's near enough.

I'll be right back. - Okay.

(knocking on door)

Oh, for Christ's sake.

(ominous music)

(Edna Mae vocalizing)

- Expecting someone, my dear?

You couldn't keep your dirty little mouth shut, could you?

You had to tell Jekyll, didn't you?

- I didn't, I swear on my mother's grave I didn't.

- Oh yes you did.

Jekyll told me so himself.

- He wouldn't have done it.

He's a gentleman.

He promised me...

(dramatic music)

(Edna Mae vocalizing)

- Hey, what are you turning out the lights for?

Onh, if you're gonna pass out on me,

the least you can do is pass out on the bed-

(Edna Mae screaming)

(dramatic music)

(banging on door)

Let me in!

- [Jensen] Go away, before I call the police.

(knocking on door)

(eerie music)

I thought I told you...

Why, Mrs. Marsden, what are you doing here

at this time of night?

Whatever are you doing with that gun?

- There was a stranger here a few minutes ago.

I thought you was he, miss.

- Is Dr. Jekyll at home?

I must see him immediately.

- Why, yes, Miss, please come in.

- Where is he?

- I don't know, miss, when I heard that horrible person,

I went to get him up, but I couldn't find him.

- He's probably in the laboratory.

(suspenseful music)

William!

- Mary Ann, what are you doing here?

- Jensen, go to the study and wait there

for my brother, Miss Jekyll, and the police.

- Police?

What are they coming here for?

- Go on, Jensen.

- (indistinct) Oliver, I told him all about your formula,

and then they went to the police.

I arrived home too late to stop them,

so I came here instead to warn you.

But it'll be all right.

As soon as they get here we can straighten

the whole thing out.

- I want you to go, I want you to

get away from here immediately.

- You don't think I'd leave you at a time like this?

- Stay away from me before it's too late.

(tense music)

(both talking indistinctly)

Get out of here!

(Mary Ann screams)

(dramatic music)

(people shouting)

(gunshot bangs)

(suspenseful music)

(gunshots banging)

(solemn music)

(women crying)
