    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
  • 00:15:00
