Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #2

Synopsis: Dr. Henry Jekyll is a well-regarded physician whose evenings are spent researching a rare and sacred Amazonian flower so potent it's said to literally separate the soul, giving life to man's Dark Self. The obsessive experiments to isolate its psychotropic properties happen to coincide with a series of brutal murders gripping the city with fear. Jekyll knows it's no coincidence. While his nights are lost to him, he awakens with bloody mementos and violent memories of the screams of his victims. He knows the Dark Self is coming into his own. It's even given himself a name: Mr. Edward Hyde. Anxious to plead guilty, waive trial, face sentence, and be put out of his misery, where he can no longer do harm, Jekyll solicits the help of Claire Wheaton, a compassionate attorney attracted to unusual and lost causes. Agreeing to represent Jekyll, her case for extreme mental imbalance is convincing. Confined to an asylum, Jekyll realizes that he has lost control, that Hyde now emerges in both body

Struggling for control

And as a doctor I

I wonder could it be the key to understanding the very | nature of health and illness

well for years it was just a private theory one | I kept to myself

Then a year ago something amazing happened | it changed all that as if

It were meant to be

When i was in the amazon deep in the rain forest

Treating remote tribes

I came across a sharmon who worshiped a rare flower

He believes it caused the sole to seperate

Allowing the dark self to escape allowing the light self to heal

Like nothing ever seen before

Later i took a blood sample from the sharmon | and tested it

Even his genetic makeup had changed

I had to find the flower

I'd finally succeeded in isolating its psycotropic properties

A catolist to trigger the effect

The question was what

For months it was all i could think about

A blinding obsession

The more i searched for the answer

The more out of reach it seemed

Then just as i was about to quit

Singing " i'll hold your hand while they drag the river"

" I'll cuddle you and me unto town "

" I'll keep my hands on your trigger finger "

"I'll take you down where the train tracks go

"Let's whale away the hours let's whale the evil night together"

" We'll drink a toast in your torture chamber "

" And you'll go down on a bed of nails "

Edward ........Hyde

That's what he call's him self

Even has a name

At first only taking the serum would make him emerge and | I could control him and the experiment

Then he became more violent stronger and began | appearing at will

How often

Every week or two in the begining

Always at night

And then

With increasing frequency the more i tried to suppress him | which triggered his erge to kill

I see

You dont believe me

Do you think im making this up

If I'm going to be your lawyer then it doesnt matter | what I personaly believe

I'll prepare a statment of facts

Then we'll arrange for to turn yourself in

I'll have you committed for 24 hours

Committed

A psychiatric ward

I'm afraid something might happen again

Yes its awful about mr lanion

I have no idea if and when he'll be back

You said he had a heart attack

About a week ago

Thats him right there

Here it is

2/12 Battery St Apartment 4f

It says it was leased to Edward Hyde and | paid for by Henry Jekyll

Why is that

Sorry im just a temp

I don't suppose you have an extra key

Gosh I dont know if i can

No its okay im henry jekyll's atorney

Well i guess its okay

I think they keep the keys in the back

How can you send him to me

Why whats he done

I've known him many years he treated my wifes tumor

What about mental illness

As far as i know no

Drug abuse

Delusions

Abnormal behaviour of any kind

Claire

Henry is the most peaceful person I know

Well then he's covering up for someone

Ever heard of a person named Edward Hyde

Who

Never mind

Your busy I've taken enough of your time

But you are going to help him arnt you

I don't know

I'm not sure I want to get involved

Do you miss me

I mean what a way to treat a dear friend

First locks on the door

And the looney bin

Can't be

So ungrateful

To be given the freedom to experience the darkest thrills of the | human soul without anyone suspecting

Your not real

Oh well you see your wrong

Your lucky I still need you around or youd have been | gone a long time ago

What do you want

Stop being a baby

Suck it up

You realize that only by execpting me can you finally except yourself

Boring

That's why your here

Your all in my head

Testing myself

Just think of all the good times we had

You remember our first kill that moment of surrender it was | so sweet

I can take control

Hahaha

Stop it

Yelling

An earing was found matching one the last victim was wearing

Where

In a alley behind a apartment building on battery

Anyone talk to the tennants

This could be a coinsodence but a lady on the forth floor said | she saw a women running from an appartment last night looking scared

Do we have an appartment number

Getting a search warrant as we speak

Phone ringing

Answering machine

Its strange that too people from the same family can be so different

I'm sorry

Yes

Police freeze hold it right there

Henry Jekyll

Police

Put that down

If you had stayed there like you promised

Wasn't like i had a choice

Oh and what am i supposed to believe it was this | other person who escaped not you

And Hyde knows I'm helping you thats why he attacked me last night

What.. after I found his place i saw all the things he took from you

So who is he

Why are you protecting him

Claire your in danger

Why do you keep pretending with me

Before it was random now he's doing everything he can to stay alive

I can't help you this way

I can feel him.. I can feel him.. did you hear me

As long as im alive even prison wont be enought to stop him

I need the antidote
