Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Page #4

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

Yes its funny yeah

I guess he could

But ah he's nothing like the guy im talking about

When you see his eyes once your never going to forget them

So this mr hyde he exsists yeah hes for real

Were you under the influence Mr Swane when you | supposedly saw this supposed Mr Hyde

Yeah n no ah maybe

Yeah no maybe

Okay

Thankyou so much for your cooperation

Sometimes

Very late at night i could hear the voice of this other | person yelling and screaming

It was terrifying

Did you ever meat Mr Hyde

Yes

Once

Just an evil person

I could see it in his face I new that he was there to harm Dr Jekyll

And there was nothing i could do

We recoverd D.N.A. left on each victim

At each of the crime scenes on each of the murder weapons

All were found to contain the same genetic markers

All matching the defendent

All

And what are the odds Mr Fowler that these markers | can belong to someone anyone other than the defendant

Approximately 170 million to one

Realy

It's what hes devoted to preserving lives

Not taking them

And you know this because

He did everything in his power to save my wife

She didnt have much hope maybe six months to live

Then he helped her to die with grace and dignity

And it was more than just doctors skills ,compassion she | trusted him right to the end

Henry Jekyll the Henry Jekyll I know

Could never do these horrible things

Well whats the deal they offered

How bad

Guilty

By reason of insanity in exchange for twenty to life without parol

Or take your chances with the jury

Which i can feel im loosing

And risk a death sentence

What does henry say

Only that he trusts me

So what do i do

what are your instincts tell you

My instincts have been wrong before

Look what ever you decide dont give up on henry

I'd like to call my client to the stand

Dr Jekyll why did confess to crimes you never committed

The experiments that i carry out for my research

Involve injestion of psycotropic substances

They provoke extream reactions

Psycological and physical i had a moment of doubt

I might have been the one responsible for these

Hannes crimes

So am i to understand you had a moment of confusion

Yes

Dr Jekyll

Do you know Mr Hyde

Yes

I do know Mr Hyde

How would you discribe him

To me Mr Hyde is an enigma

I dont how he found me

Or why he ever came to my home i dont think | I'll realy ever understand

But what i do know is that

When i emerge from this very uncomfortable jurney

I was accused of murders that he seemed to have committed

Thankyou

No further questions

After all the twists and turns this trial has taken | the outcome at this point seems to be quite uncertain

Well have to wait and see wether the defence or the | prosecution has any more tricks up there sleeves

Thankyou

Thankyou Claire

I:

Listen don't thank me yet it uh not over

Oh it doesn't matter im free from him

For what i wanted

What ever happens now can't change that

Good

Cause im not finished yet

Your honor we'd like to recall the states d.n.a. expert mr fowler

Mr Fowler

Isn't it true there are sections of human D.N.A. | that are unique to each individual

There called polymorphic fragments they very | in shape from person to person

So esentualy d.n.a. profiling is the process of seperating | An idividuals unique polymorphic fragments

From those of others

Thats right

You ever heard of one person having two unique | sets of polymorphic fragments

By definition that would be impossible

Why is that

Because the genetic coding of each persons polymorphic | fragments is intirly unique to that person

I'm sorry mr fowler in that case why is henry jekyll | on trial here instead of edard hyde

Objection your honor

Jekyll and Hyde are one in the same person

Well that is false your honor um henry jekyll | and Mr Hyde are two different persons

What makes you say that counciler

Because according to samples taken by the police from Hydes apartment | the D.N.A. of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde are not the same

What

It's a fact your team missed Mr Fowler

Why was that

Because he was so convinced that Henry Jekyll | and Mr Hyde were the same person

He carelessly failed to compare there d.n.a.

Only one person fits the exact profile of the killer | and that person is Mr Edward Hyde

Its all in your report Mr Fowler

Thankyou

No further questions

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury

You herd the testimonies attesting to dr jekyll's charector

He is the opposit of a killer

He is a healer

And a man of vision and a man of compassion

The truth is simple

Convicting him beyond any reasonable doubt would mean | disregarding any definition of what constitutes a human being

His D.N.A.

The d.n.a. found at the scenes of these | barbaric crimes do not belong to dr jekyll

But to another man

Dr Jekyll cant be held responsible for these herendus acts

The one and only person guilty is Mr Edward Hyde

Ladies and gentlemen

The killer is still out there

And hes ready to strike again

Thankyou

Allmost three hours now well two hours 43 minutes to be exact

Since the jury began its deliberations and given the lateness | of the hour its unlikely a verdict will be decided untill

Wait

We are just getting word now that the jury is back and we | will bring you all the details as soon as they are available

Will the defendant please rise

In the matter of the state versus henry jekyll

We the jury find the defendent

Not guilty

Order in the court

Thankyou

How's it feel

Strange

To get your life back

Well to now im finaly myself again

I assume you want that envelope back

Envelope

Oh right

Oh well you can throw it away
