00:00:00
who are we really are some of us perfectly
good While others are purely evil
00:00:07
perhaps the mysterious Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde might have the answer
00:00:12
and who better to guide us than
their dear friend Mr Gabriel utterson
00:00:19
utterson is a good lawyer and a reliable
friend every Sunday he enjoys a walk with
00:00:25
his distant relative Mr Richard Enfield
on this occasion Enfield points out a
00:00:30
Sinister building and tells Artisan about
a strange incident that happened recently
00:00:37
Enfield had been walking home one morning
when he saw a man deliberately stomp on
00:00:43
a little girl the man then walked away
as though nothing had happened incensed
00:00:48
Enfield dragged the repulsive villain back
to the scene where a crowd had now gathered
00:00:54
to calm the angry mob the man agreed to pay
compensation to the girl's family he disappeared
00:01:01
into the very door Enfield and utterson now
stood at and emerged with a check and some gold
00:01:07
strangely the check wasn't signed in the man's
own name but it's still cleared at the bank
00:01:14
Enfield says that the man's name was Mr
Edward Hyde utterson then admits his own
00:01:21
little secret he knows who signed that check
utterson then swears Mr Enfield to secrecy
00:01:31
that evening Mr utterson feels uneasy and
retrieves Dr jekyll's Will from his safe Dr
00:01:38
Jekyll is an old friend and utterson had drafted
this will for him but he's always hated it the
00:01:45
will states that if Jekyll dies or disappears for
more than three months Mr Hyde gets everything
00:01:53
why would Jekyll say disappear is he in danger
00:01:57
and why would a villain like Mr
Hyde have such a hold on Dr Jekyll
00:02:04
Mr Artisan visits another old friend
Dr Lanyon to see if he knows anything
00:02:09
Lanyon admits that he and Dr Jekyll
have Grown Apart he deplores Dr jekyll's
00:02:15
meddling and unscientific nonsense
Lanyon also never heard of Hyde
00:02:22
that night Mr Artisan decides to look for
Mr Hyde he Stakes out the door Enfield had
00:02:29
pointed out and waits eventually Mr Hyde
shows up Artisan introduces himself as a
00:02:37
friend of Dr jekylls and asks to come
in but Mr Hyde is rude and unhelpful
00:02:43
before he disappears into the house
Artisan gets a good look at his face
00:02:50
two weeks later Mr utterson gets a chance
to confront Dr Jekyll at his dinner party
00:02:56
after the guests leave Artisan asks Jekyll
about Mr Hyde Dr Jekyll becomes defensive he
00:03:03
admits that his Affairs are odd but everything
is under control what's more Mr Hyde will be
00:03:10
sticking around and the terms of the will must
be honored if the time came Conversation Over
00:03:17
with a heavy heart Mr utterson
promises to do as Dr Jekyll asks
00:03:24
one year later London is shocked by news of a
horrific murder sir Danvers Karu a well-known
00:03:32
and respectable politician is clubbed to
death in the middle of the night the soul
00:03:38
witness identifies the murderer as Mr Hyde since
Mr utterson knew the victim he is called upon to
00:03:47
identify the body and assist police he takes
the investigator straight to Mr Hyde's house
00:03:53
in SoHo which seems to have been ransacked
Mr Hyde clearly packed up and hurried off
00:04:02
Mr utterson goes to see Dr Jekyll the scientist is
a changed man looking very pale and sick Dr Jekyll
00:04:11
insists that he's cut all ties with Mr Hyde and
even hands over a letter that Mr Hyde left for him
00:04:19
that evening Mr utterson shows
Hyde's letter to his clerk Mr guest
00:04:25
he compares the handwriting to a note from Dr
Jekyll and concludes that it's nearly identical
00:04:32
but why would Dr Jekyll Forge for a murderer
time passes and Mr Hyde does not re-emerge with
00:04:42
Mr Hyde gone Dr Jekyll is a new man he comes out
of seclusion reignites old friendships and gets
00:04:50
involved in community events then within the space
of a few months Dr Jekyll returns to seclusion
00:04:59
Mr utterson decides to visit Dr Lanyon but Dr
Lanyon has also experienced a shocking change
00:05:06
he's so frail and bald Dr Lanyon says he's had a
shock that he'll never recover from but he doesn't
00:05:14
spill the details what he does reveal is that
his friendship with Dr Jekyll is officially over
00:05:22
Mr utterson is deeply disturbed by the change in
his two friends he writes a letter to Dr Jekyll to
00:05:29
try and get some answers Dr jekyll's cryptic reply
confirms that his friendship with Dr Lanyon is
00:05:36
over he also admits that his seclusion is a form
of self-inflicted punishment that must never end
00:05:45
sadly Dr Lanyon dies within a fortnight after the
funeral Mr Artisan opens a letter Dr Lanyon left
00:05:54
for him only to find another sealed ladder
within it warns him not to read it unless
00:06:00
Dr Jekyll has died or disappeared there's that
word again disappeared what does Dr Lanyon know
00:06:10
one Sunday on their usual walk Mr Enfield and
Mr utterson pass by Dr jekyll's House they look
00:06:18
up to see if they can Glimpse their old friend
and there he is sitting mournfully by the window
00:06:25
Dr Jekyll says he feels very low but
doesn't expect it to last much longer
00:06:31
suddenly mid-conversation Dr jekyll's
warm smile is replaced by a look of Terror
00:06:37
he slams the window shut and disappears Mr
utterson and Mr Enfield feel their blood
00:06:45
run cold and walk on the silence is only
briefly broken by a prayer from utterson
00:06:54
one night Mr utterson receives an unexpected
visitor it's Dr jekyll's Butler Mr pool pale and
00:07:02
shaken he's extremely worried about Dr Jekyll
he's shot himself in his office for the past
00:07:08
week Mr Poole suspects Foul Play and implores Mr
utterson to accompany him back to Dr jekyll's home
00:07:18
at Dr jekyll's residence all the servants
have gathered in the hallway they huddle
00:07:22
like frightened sheep Mr pool leads Mr utterson
through to the laboratory outside Dr jekyll's
00:07:29
office door Poole announces that Mr utterson is
here to see him a pained voice from inside the
00:07:36
office refuses all visitors back in the kitchen Mr
Artisan can't deny it that voice was not Dr Jekyll
00:07:47
Mr Poole believes an imposter has taken Dr
jekyll's place Mr pool then describes the
00:07:54
impostor's strange Behavior all week he demanded
some sort of medicine writing desperate orders to
00:08:01
all the Chemists in town one day Mr pool suddenly
entered the laboratory and saw a figure wearing a
00:08:09
mask he or it was digging about among the crates
looking for something when it saw Mr pool it cried
00:08:17
out and ran into Dr jekyll's office the figure
was also too short and hideous to be Dr Jekyll
00:08:26
it's time to act they stationed two servants at
the back door in case the Imposter tries to escape
00:08:33
then they call out for Dr Jekyll demanding to
see him or they'll bust their way in the voice
00:08:40
that replies definitely isn't Dr Jekyll so Mr pool
smashes through the door with an ax there before
00:08:48
them lay the twitching body of Edward Hyde he's
dressed in Dr jekyll's clothes and holds a crushed
00:08:55
vial of poison it seems he has killed himself
all that's left is to find Dr jekyll's body
00:09:05
they don't find anything although the office
contains evidence of chemical work on the table
00:09:11
there's a large envelope for Mr utterson inside
is Dr jekyll's will and another document the
00:09:19
will details that Dr Jekyll has given Artisan
everything he originally set aside for Mr Hyde
00:09:26
there's also a note in the envelope from Dr Jekyll
00:09:30
it declares that if Mr utterson is reading it
then Dr Jekyll has indeed disappeared it instructs
00:09:38
Artisan to read the letter from Dr Lanyon first
then the confession enclosed with the will
00:09:46
Mr Artisan will go home to read these letters
00:09:49
but tells Mr Poole he'll be back by
midnight then they'll call the police
00:09:57
Dr lanyon's letter explains why
he cut all contact with Dr Jekyll
00:10:02
it begins with a letter from Dr Jekyll requesting
an urgent favor he asked Dr Lanyon to go to
00:10:10
his house and break into his office with the
aid of Mr pool and a locksmith Dr Lanyon was
00:10:16
then to enter the office alone and retrieve the
contents of one of the drawers from his cabinet
00:10:23
he had to take it home where at midnight
a man would visit on Dr jekyll's behalf
00:10:30
convinced his old friend was already insane
Lanyon did everything exactly as instructed
00:10:38
sure enough that night a small man arrived at Dr
lanyon's home he was desperate to see if Dr Lanyon
00:10:46
had what he needed although the man was repulsive
Dr Lanyon took pity on him and pointed to the draw
00:10:53
the small man asked for a glass mixed the
ingredients from the drawer and drank the potion
00:10:59
he immediately cried out and staggered as his
face swelled and his features melted Dr Lanyon
00:11:07
was shocked to his core and shielded his eyes
from the horror then came the awful reveal the
00:11:15
small man had transformed into Dr Jekyll Dr Lanyon
was convinced he would never recover he was right
00:11:25
now all that's left is for utterson
to read Dr jekyll's confession
00:11:31
Dr Jekyll explains that while he was
raised well and enjoyed doing good he
00:11:37
always harbored a secret dark side
Jekyll used transcendental medicine
00:11:43
to create the drug that allowed him to
express both sides of his personality
00:11:50
when he drank the potion he became Mr Edward
Hyde the only human being to ever be Pure Evil
00:11:59
Jekyll provided for Mr Hyde by acquiring a
house in SoHo and clothes his size Jekyll
00:12:06
also ordered his own staff to obey Hyde in
case the transformation to hide ever became
00:12:13
permanent Jekyll made a will that transferred
his wealth to hide with everything sorted Dr
00:12:19
Jekyll enjoyed his Newfound freedom one day
Jekyll woke up as Mr Hyde without the drug
00:12:29
it seemed that Edward Hyde was getting stronger
and beginning to take over realizing this Jekyll
00:12:36
chose to try to live a good life only but he
still kept all of Hyde's clothes and belongings
00:12:44
soon enough Jekyll felt hide struggling
for freedom in a moment of weakness Jekyll
00:12:50
drank the potion once again and hide came out
roaring he killed sir Danvers Karu that night
00:12:58
realizing he was now a wanted man
Hyde destroyed his papers in his
00:13:04
Soho house he then ran to the lab took
the drug and transformed back to Jekyll
00:13:11
one morning in Regents Park Jekyll suddenly
transformed into hide stranded in public
00:13:18
and wanted for murder hide dashed to an inn
and wrote urgent letters to Mr Poole and Dr
00:13:25
Lanyon luckily he could still write in jekyll's
hand but if he showed up at jekyll's home the
00:13:31
servants would turn him in so Hyde arranged for
his drugs to be transferred to Dr lanyon's place
00:13:39
that night Dr lanyon's horror and
disgust at seeing the transformation
00:13:44
terrified Jekyll too he vowed to never
return into the form of Hyde again
00:13:51
but the very next day Jekyll automatically
transformed into Hyde twice thus began the
00:13:58
battle for Jekyll to remain himself if he slept
or the medication wore off Mr Hyde would return
00:14:06
soon jekyll's drugs ran low and London
chemists no longer stocked a key ingredient
00:14:13
he believed the success of his first batch was
from an unknown impurity now impossible to find
00:14:22
Dr Jekyll wrote this letter to utterson under the
influence of the last dose of the original potion
00:14:29
soon Mr Hyde would take full control this
was the true death of Dr Henry Jekyll
00:14:38
sometimes the questions we ask
about ourselves have Hard Answers
00:14:43
perhaps we should be grateful that Dr Jekyll
drank down the terrible potion to reveal a
00:14:49
difficult reality will we ever be
ready to confront our true selves
