Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #3

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

Right here

This is where Hyde attacked me

Oh my god Claire

If we could only find him

This is enough

Get of this case

I'm not getting of the case

Look i know i refered him to you

What ever this is if anything happens to you

Wait a minute

Maybe were being watched

Security is tight surounding the trial as you can see behind me it is ab.....

The overall feeling here today is one of relief ...

While many people here remain shocked at such a distinguished doctor | And respected member of the community could have | committed such hanus crimes

All rise

Please be seated

Mr Mendez

Your honor

Is the defence ready

Yes your honor

Very well

Regarding the defendants plea

Your honor if i may id like to move for a continuance

On what grounds

New evidence which might have a bearing on my clients plea

What are you doing

Objection your honor any thing relivent to this case should have been | handed over to us prior to this hearing

I found out about it last night

And im supposed to believe that

Well regarding this new evidence coucilor you'll share it with | the district attorney imediantly

And be prepared to enter a plea first thing in the morning

Court is ajurned untill then

To plead guilty thats all i wont

Well thats it

It's a guy in a hood so what

What if he's actualy the one who killed all these people

For god sake wheaton your clients signed a full confesion

We found blood from three diferent victims in his house

To say nothing of the d.n.a. evidence linking him to | every one of the crime scenes come on

Well there is someone else involved and his name is Edward Hyde

There is no Edward Hyde and you know it

Look I know you suckered me into this delay but you are going to | have to do better than this hail mary you pulled of some grainy | skid row security camera

Listen

Given the bazar elements of the case i think we both know | I can make an insanity defence stick

Hm...what do you want

To bring this guy in

If it turns out to be nothing my client will plead guilty accross the board

No conditions

You have my word

His name is walter swain the crack head

Not exactly what you call relyable

But he recognised hyde from the security camera

Sort of possibly maybe thats the best we could get out of him

All right cut him loose

What you cant hold him

On what charge

Well at least let me ask him a few questions

No

I think we have pursed this avenue sufficently

You remember the deal

Now if you will excuse me i have a plea hearing to reschedule

Unbelievable

Excuse me excuse me

What now

You people have harassed me enough already

I'm not the police

I'm an Attorney

Well what ever your selling im not interested

It's about Edward Hyde

So you do know him

Yeah from a bar I think

We talked once thats it

Look I need to find him

Do you know where he is

Listen please someone's life is at stake

He said the cops were after him he didnt say why

Said he was going to lay low for a while

You know where he is

Some place safe

Thats all he said anyway ive got to go

If he contacts you

Or if you remember any thing else

Call me

I already told you everything

Just in case

So we have a problem

Don't worry you got your plea

Its your client

Dr Innocent

Just slit his wrists

Phone ringing

Phone ringing

Who is it

Yesterday at the police station you gave me a card

What do you want

Well ah

you get me out of this place and ill get you something on whats his Name

Alright

Yeah exactly

I'm listening

Its about his landlord

According to Hyde the dude saw something he wasn't supposed to see

What

Haha no idea

All he said was he didnt have to do much the guy just keeled over

Like a heart attack

I didnt ask but a

Lets just say i wasnt feeling the love

This landlord

His name wasnt manion was it

Now the hell should i know

Listen to me

I can get you out of what ever mess you got yourself into | but your going to have to help me

We have a deal

Deal

Hi

Mrs Manion.. Claire I just want to say how sorry I am

Thankyou

Did you know my husband

Not very well

It just seems so sudden

Do you mind me asking just what happened

Complications from a heart attack

I heard he had heart problems

Just wonder was it that off

Do you know it was very odd

I'd never seen him that way he was like a frightened child

What do you mean

Well just before he slipped into the coma

He said the oddest thing

At first i thought he was delirious but

He said he could feel eyes boring into him

Cold , hipnotic

Eyes

Of a man as he lay there in that alley where they found him

He said he saw a man change into someone else

Right there in front of him

Pure evil

Thankyou

Can we have some privacy

I've requested you be taken off the case

Listen

i made a mistake

Please just give me a second chance

Please im begging you i know you were telling me the truth

I don't care anymore and its better that I get the death sentence

Listen to me

If a killer takes a hostage who he forces to come along with him | while committing his crimes that hostage cant be blamed

Who cares

i care

Look hoestly what ever guilt you feel hear | your innocent hyde did it

Its like you said

He's a different body person and soul

Well it to late is the only way i can get rid off him is by dying

And i just want to die

Do you remember me alone and unforgiven

Shut up shut up

Oh

Look at you

Why

Why did you do this to me

You wanted me dont take me away from him

I liked you Claire

I liked you

Very much

Please

Are you okay

I'm okay

We have all been waiting for the day when doctor jekyll is expected to enter his plea | Will it be guilty or not guilty

Thankyou

How do you feel

I feel great

Did he come back

No

No he is am hes gone

Can I trust you

Well I

I've always told you the truth

Your going to have to trust me now

Will the defendant please rise

To each of the six charges of first degree murder

How do you plead

Not guilty your honor

Order

Order in the court

Order

Insanity defence good luck

Who said anything about insanity

So doctor how would you define dissociate identity disorder

It's a condition in where a single individual evidences to | 2 or more distinct personalities

Each with its own patterns of perceving and interacting with the inviroment

Now in your own profesional experiance

Do patients ever pretend to sufer from this condition

Yes usualy within a legal context as part of an insanity defence

What if the problem of diagnosing D.I.D is that there is no way to | objectively prove that the condition exists

No objective way of prooving it exists so if i get this right doctor | then this mr hyde of hume i may add have no records off

He could be a complete and total fabrication of Dr Jekyll

Yes

So Mr Swane how many times did you see Mr Hyde

Why we hung out in bars and stuff so you could identify | Mr Hyde if you ever saw him again

Yes sure

Have you ever seen the defendant dr jekyll

No

Could he be mistaken for mr hyde
