Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #7

---

Help!

Police!

- Good night, Charles.

- Good night.

- Sorry your young man was detained.

- So am I, Uncle Geoffrey.

Good evening, sir.

There was a ring at the door

a while ago, sir.

When I answered it,

there was nobody there. I found this.

You don't happen to know

what Dr. Jekyll uses these for?

No, sir, I don't rightly know.

I don't rightly know, sir.

- Have you got it?

- What are you doing hiding behind...?

I was waiting for you, Dr. Lanyon.

I'm the man from Dr. Jekyll.

- The package, I'll take it.

- Step inside.

No, no!

There's not time.

As Jekyll's friend, I have the right

to ask you a few questions.

Come now, don't waste time

with prying questions.

- Let me have it...

- I don't like your attitude.

- Suppose you introduce yourself.

- Hyde. What difference does that make?

- You an acquaintance of Jekyll?

- Yes.

Yes, of course. I'm an old friend.

Now let me have the...

Where is Dr. Jekyll?

- Don't worry, he's alive.

- What's the matter? Is he ill?

- No! He's perfectly all right.

- Very well, then.

- I'll come with you and see for myself.

- You pretentious fool!

- You take another step, I'll shoot.

- Now, wait a minute, Lanyon.

I can't let you come with me,

and I can't tell you any more.

- Why not?

- Because. Because.

I warn you,

don't stick your nose into this.

You'd better let me go, Lanyon.

- You can ask Jekyll about it tomorrow.

- You'll take me to Jekyll this minute.

For the last time, Lanyon,

would you let me leave alone?

- No.

- All right. All right, then.

Let it be on your own head.

Now, once again, Lanyon...

...will you let me take this glass

and go?

No, why should I?

For your own sake, Lanyon.

Whatever you're going to do,

get on with it!

I warned you, John.

Even as Hyde, I warned you.

You see what you've done,

don't you?

I mean, you,

you've gone beyond.

You've tampered with...

You've committed

the supreme blasphemy.

I know, John.

I know, I know.

- You must destroy the formula.

- I've done that.

No, I mean, you must destroy it from

your mind! You can't take this again!

I know. I know.

I know.

Tonight...

Tonight, on my way to Sir Charles'...

You see, I thought I could control...

But tonight this change, this thing

you saw, happened without my...

- What about Bea?

- I'll tell her.

At least I have strength

enough left for that.

Darling.

I heard you playing...

...and I thought we could talk in here...

...just as well as anywhere.

Well, of course, dear.

I can't imagine how you felt last night

when I...

You don't have to explain anything.

I know it must have been important.

You know that I'd forgive anything...

But that's it, you mustn't forgive

anymore!

You must make up your mind to...

Tell me, darling, what's wrong?

What is it, Harry?

Look at me.

Please, Bea...

Let me begin...

There's no way to begin

except to tell you.

Tell me what?

You're...

You're a brave girl, aren't you?

Yes.

That's why I can tell you like this,

because you are brave and strong.

Always remember that.

Bea, we can't be married.

I must never see you again.

Oh, you...

You don't know what you...

Harry, what's happened?

Look at me!

Just that. Just that.

That's all I can tell you.

But, why?

What...?

We've always said that there's nothing

we couldn't discuss.

Nothing secret between you and me,

ever.

Don't ask any more, please.

If you ever trusted me, trust me now.

It's for your happiness and mine,

believe me. That's all I can say.

Oh, my darling!

Are you ill?

- There's something you...

- No, no.

Bea, don't ask me any more. Don't try

to understand. Just take my word.

Now, please go.

This is so wrong of me.

To make you go through all of this.

You're trying not to hurt me,

aren't you?

Harry...

Harry, it's all right...

...if you don't love me anymore.

- I know things like that can happen.

- Bea.

Oh, you do.

You still do.

- What is it, dearest?

- Bea, Bea, darling.

No.

Don't say anything more.

Just hold me close.

Goodbye, darling.

Harry!

Harry, please!

Please come back!

Please don't...

Harry!

You did come back.

Oh, my darling.

Father!

Father!

Beatrix!

Beatrix!

Help!

Help!

What's the matter, sir?

What's wrong, sir?

- Help!

- Look! There he goes! There he goes!

There he goes!

Hey, stop there!

Hey!

Hey! What's going on?!

Hold it, you!

This is the weapon, doctor.

Yes. I...

If you'll come with me, inspector.

Ward, you remain here.

Dr. Jekyll, that frightful maniac

broke into the house.

- Did he attack you, sir?

- Yes.

- Which way did he go? Out here?

- Didn't know you were home, sir.

- Are you badly hurt?

- No. No, I'll be all right.

This here door's locked.

- We'd better go out that way.

- Yes.

Wait!

- There. Heaven help him.

- Dr. Lanyon...

...but I know this gentleman.

He's Dr. Jekyll.

I know.

Nevertheless, there's your man.

I'm sorry, sir, but I know Dr. Jekyll.

I've known him for years.

- This is your master, isn't it?

- Of course, sir. No doubt of it.

- We must have lost him. Come, men.

- No, no. Wait.

Tell them, Jekyll.

Tell them.

It's no use, Jekyll.

You know it's no use. I beg of you,

Jekyll, tell them who you are.

- Tell them what you've done.

- I've done nothing.

I'm Dr. Jekyll.

I'm Dr. Henry Jekyll.

I've done nothing.

I'm Dr. Jekyll.

I'm Dr. Henry Jekyll, I tell you.

I've done nothing.

You're looking for a man named Hyde.

Hyde!

I'm Dr. Henry Jekyll.

I'm Dr. Jekyll, I tell you!

I tell you, I'm Dr. Jekyll!

I'm Dr. Henry Jekyll!

It's no use, Jekyll.

You'd better come quietly.

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down

in green pastures.

He leadeth me

beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the path of

righteousness, for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death...
