Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #6

-Yes.

Here it is, but before I give it to you...

I must be assured of Dr. Jekyll's safety.

-Where is he?

-He's alive and safe.

-I'll take this to him.

-I'll go with you.

-I must see for myself that he is safe.

-That is not your concern!

I warn you not to meddle.

Take me to Dr. Jekyll,

or you'll not leave this room.

I warn you, Lanyon, to let me go.

If you make another step

towards that door...

-I'll shoot.

-You don't know what you're doing.

I can't tell you anything.

Ask Jekyll tomorrow.

I will be sure of Dr. Jekyll's safety,

or I'll make you answer for it.

For the last time, Lanyon,

will you let me go?

For the last time, no.

Very well, Lanyon.

This will be on your own head.

Now, Lanyon...

will you let me take this glass and leave

without further question?

I've gone too far

not to see this through to the end.

Think before you decide, I tell you!

Do you want to be left as you are...

or do you want your eyes and your soul

to be blasted by a sight...

that would stagger the devil himself?

-I'm not to be persuaded by this rigmarole.

-Very well, Lanyon.

Remember your vows to your profession.

What you are about to see

is a secret you are sworn not to reveal.

You who have sneered

at the miracles of science...

you who have denied the power of man

to look into his own soul...

you who have derided your superiors.

Look!

I can't believe what I've seen.

I don't understand.

-I'm in your hands to do with as you wish.

-Horrible.

-I'm a murderer, Lanyon. Help me.

-There is no help for you, Jekyll.

You've committed

the supreme blasphemy.

I warned you...

that no man could violate the traditions

of his kind and not be damned.

That I still do not believe.

Don't be my inquisitor, Lanyon.

Don't judge me. Help me.

I'm at your mercy.

There is no help for you here

or mercy beyond.

You're a rebel,

and see what it has done for you.

You're in the power of this monster

that you've created.

-I'll never take that drug again.

-Yes.

But you told me

you became that monster tonight...

not of your own accord.

-lt will happen again.

-Never. I'm sure of it.

-I'll fight it. I'll conquer it.

-Too late. You cannot conquer it.

-lt has conquered you.

-No. I'll fight it.

I know it will not happen again. Help me.

You'll promise at least

never to mix this drug again?

With all my heart.

And what about Muriel?

I'll give her up.

I'll go to her tomorrow.

Set her free.

Oh, God...

this I did not intend.

I saw a light,

but I could not see where it was leading.

I have trespassed on your domain.

I've gone further than man should go.

Forgive me.

Help me.

I beg your pardon, sir. Dr. Jekyll is calling.

-Tell him we're not at home, Hobson.

-Father, no, for my sake.

He dares to enter this house?

Neither of us have the right to judge him.

Judge him? Are you mad?

The fellow's a blackguard.

I won't hear you say

one word against him.

-Show him in, Hobson.

-But l--

I don't know what he's done...

but he's a finer and greater person

than any of us.

-Silence! I won't hear another word!

-I shall say it!

We've never understood him

and never tried to understand him.

You tried to bend him to your will.

I haven't fought for him.

I don't know what's happened to him,

but I know he's suffering...

and it's our fault, mine more than yours.

I love him, and I'm going to help him.

This is preposterous!

I will have nothing to do with it!

I can offer you no welcome, sir.

Had the matter been left in my hands,

I would have turned you from the door.

Forgive me.

Darling, are you ill?

-What is it?

-What?

What is it?

My sweet, why are you suffering so?

-Tell me what it is.

-Tell you?

I've come to tell you....

I've come to set you free.

-Set me free?

-Yes.

What are you saying?

If you ever loved me,

tell me what's wrong.

Everything's wrong!

I no longer have any claim on you.

-But that's for me to say.

-No.

My darling, I beg you to tell me.

What is it?

No. You don't have to explain anything.

Whatever it is,

I know you've done nothing base or mean.

Please, my dear!

Please, angel of God...

don't say anymore.

I set you free.

Darling, is that all you have to say to me?

-Don't you want me any longer?

-Want you?

I want you so that I can envy the damned.

-I am damned.

-You don't know what you're saying.

Do you think I'd let you go?

Only tell me that you love me,

and I'm yours.

Don't keep anything from me, darling.

-I love you, and I'll help you.

-My love. My darling.

My beautiful...

if I could take you in my arms,

if I could only touch you....

Think of it.

I daren't even touch you ever again...

-in this world or the next.

-What are you hiding from me?

Trust me. Believe in me. I'll help you.

No. I'm beyond help, Muriel! I'm in hell!

-I must give you up!

-But I won't let you!

-No.

-I'll go with you wherever you say.

I'll help you no matter what it is.

If I could only have you, I'd give my soul...

but I have no soul!

I'm beyond the pale!

-I'm one of the living dead!

-I won't let you go!

My poor, dear, suffering love, be quiet.

Rest. Don't say anymore.

Be quiet and rest.

-Let me go. Let me go quickly.

-No. I love you. I won't let you go.

I love you.

-Sweetheart.

-No!

I give you up because I love you so.

This is my proof. This is my penance.

Do you hear, oh, God?

Oh, God. Don't let me.

Save me!

Help me! Father, help!

Help, Hobson!

Help, police!

You stay here. I'll go ahead!

This way, officer.

Stop him!

Stop him!

Help! Police!

This is the weapon, Doctor.

I know whose cane this is.

I can take you to the man.

Break it down!

Come on, Bill. Give it a shove.

-This one's locked, too!

-Open in the name of the law!

Break it down!

-Where is he?

-He's run out there through the back door.

Come on!

-Don't stand there staring, you fool!

-Yes, sir.

The door down there

is locked on the outside.

Then go out through the front.

Come on, Scobie.

-You stay there.

-Wait!

-He has escaped, sir.

-Your man has not escaped.

There!

There he is! There's your man!

-But, Doctor, this is impossible.

-I know it is, but there's your man!

-I'm sorry, sir. You appear to be serious--

-Look!

-Come on!

-Hold him!

Come on!

Close that door!

-Close that door there!

-Don't let him get away!

Look out!

-Steady, boy!

-Drop that knife!

Dr. Jekyll.
