Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde Page #4

strange men or familiar ones, either.

I'm telling you, I'll be alright.

Hey, just a minute! Come here!

- Hey, what's it now?

Over there.

- Where?

- Someone waiting.

Oh, it's only a lady...

Later, Vonne.

Night. - Night.

Excuse me...

Do you mind if I walk a little way

with you? Company?

- Well, with a murderer about,

I'll be glad of it.

Yes.

You don't think he'd

do 'em in twos, do you?

Who are you?

Do I know you?

I don't think so...

No, I don't think so.

Sir Danvers! Sir Danvers!

There's been another murder.

- Where?

- Hoeur d'Elaine, sir.

Ole d'Elaine!

There. It explodes your theory about Dr Jekyll.

Whip him up!

Any comments, sir?

None... that I haven't already made.

It's a queer business, sergeant.

Very queer.

Oh, I'm sorry...

Ah...

Doctor Jekyll.

Uhm...

Good evening.

And, uh...

How is your delightful sister?

F- fine... Excellent.

I am in excellent health.

Oh, it...

It... No, no, you've...

You misunderstand me, your sister.

Howard...

Won't you hear me? No!

Jekyll, my dear chap...

I just happen to be passing.

And so I thought -- marvelous opportunity

to catch up on your news.

See just how much progress you've...

... you've been making.

Seems rather more than I'd anticipated.

Taken my advice, eh?

- No...

Well, I... I mean...

No need to be embarassed, dear chap.

Perfectly normal and natural.

Been preaching it to you for years...

Get a woman in your life...

A good woman.

And one day you'll wake up,

you'll look at yourself in the mirror

and you'll see a changed man.

But, Robertson, I...

I don't mean to be rude, but...

- Understand, dear chap.

Understand absolutely.

The two is company,

three -- positive deviation.

I'll, uh... I'll leave you to it.

Terrible thing, these murders.

Murders?

Oh, come now...

I know you're a remote sort of fellow,

but they've been happening all around you.

- Oh, yes. The murders. I've...

paid them little heed, I'm afraid.

My... work, you see.

The elusive elixir of life.

How's it going?

Well.

Very well. Couldn't be better.

I'm glad to hear it.

Most glad.

I was caught in a terrible trap.

To continue my work

I needed sister Hyde.

Yet, all the time I became more and more

aware of her growing dominance within me.

A dominance I no longer had the strength

to fight, contain or control.

Hello, darling.

Looking for something?

Yes, constable? What is it?

- Another murder, sir.

In Legger Button yard.

Sergeant Danvers...

- When did this happen?

- Very recent, sir. Minute, probably.

Trail is quite fresh.

- Yes, well, tell sergeant Danvers

I'll be with him directly. - Sir.

At first, there's another call I must make.

Professor Robertson.

But, of course, it could only be you.

You have me to disadvantage, ma'm.

- My brother has told me

so much about you.

Won't you come in?

Your brother?

Doctor Jekyll. I'm his sister.

The deuce you are!

He never mentioned that he had a sister.

And such a sister.

- Uh, oh... Forgive me, ma'm.

It is your brother I came to see.

He's not here.

Thought as much.

How long has he been out?

All evening?

Haven't seen him since I arrived.

I knew it. I knew I was right.

I don't understand...

- Perhaps I shouldn't be saying

this to you, ma'm, but,

I have grave suspicions...

Very grave suspicions.

Suspicions?

About his actions, his state of mind.

Professor, I'll be honest with you.

I, too, have been very anxious

about him of late.

But, we can't talk here.

And if were to return...

There must be somewhere else,

somewhere quieter.

More discreet.

There are my rooms, of course.

But, then you would be unchaperoned.

That would be an adventure.

To date I'd met a very shortened life.

Come, professor.

You did tell him?

Said he'll be along directly, sir.

- Not like professor Robertson...

Not like him at all.

Wonder what's keeping him.

Your brother...

Forget him.

I can't.

That's why I brought you here.

To talk about your brother.

You've heard of the...

... murders in this area?

The Whitechapel murders?

Well, I have been involved in them.

In an official capacity.

There's a terrible similarity

about all the victims...

About what he does to them.

I told you I had grave suspicions.

All that suspicion is based on observation.

And my knowledge of your...

... of your brother's work.

I've lived with this problem for days now.

I've struggled with my conscience...

After all, your brother was...

is my friend, I owe him something.

But I have a public responsibility, too.

And I am convinced that your brother

is the man who...

We can talk later, professor.

It's you?!

That was a dream...

It is nightmare! No!

Robertson...

It was you!

You!

Well, I'll be rid of you!

It is I who exist, Doctor Jekyll,

not you!

It is I who will be rid of you!

Rid of you! Rid of you!

Rid of you!

Howard.

If you...

If you knew what you...

do to a man...

Oh, if you could imagine

what a man feels when he...

But I can...

... imagine it.

Howard?

Oh, damn...

It's Susan.

Dear sister Susan...

Howard?

Yes, yes...

Just come in...

I thought I heard your voice.

Oh...

Er...

This is...

... Mrs Hyde.

We were just, eh...

... just talking.

My sister Susan.

I've been longing to meet you.

I... know your brother quite well.

So, I gather.

He's very fond of you, isn't he?

He said that?

There are no secrets

between my brother and I.

None.

Yes, he's very fond of you.

And I am very fond of your brother.

A fascinating stratum, don't you think?

It'll be interesting to see who wins.

Wins?

- But, of course, I have

the stronger personality.

I always have...

Ever since I...

Ever since the moment I was born.

My poor brother is far too weak.

I don't think he's in the least weak.

But, not like you Howard...

Not like you, you are...

But, now you must go.

Both of you.

Leave me!

When shall I see you again?

Please go.

Leave me!

We'll see who wins.

We'll see.

Knife grinding!

Hit it off the grinder!

Knife grinding!

Hit it off the grinder!

Susan...

- Doctor Jekyll.

Oh, but, you look so ill. You must...

- Just over-worked, that's all.

You saw my sister last night?

Yes.

I want you to promise me something.

Stay away from her.

- Your sister?

But, I don't understand.

I can't explain, just trust me.

Stay away from her,

she means you great harm.

But, why?

And how could you possibly know?

- I just... feel it. That's all.

Promise me you'll do as I say.

If it pleases you.

Thank you.

- And you can do something

for me in return.

Anything.

I have two tickets for the concert tonight.

Howard doesn't care for it, and mamma is too tired...

- I will be delighted to escort you.

If you would come for me at eight o'clock.

Well?

Very pretty.

But then, you always do look very pretty.

- But, I want to look specially

atractive tonight.

You think he'll like it?

- That's if he sees it.

Lucky if anyone sees anything tonight.

A fog's like pea soup.

I got lost, twice, on my way home.
