01:31And now, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, adapted by Gore Vidal on Climax.
01:38Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, adapted by Gore Vidal.
01:46Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, adapted by Gore Vidal.
01:46Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, adapted by Gore Vidal.
01:47Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, were you all right?
01:49Go away!
01:51Please, sir, let me in!
01:52Go away!
01:53Come now, Paul.
02:18Either Dr. Dick has gone or he has not.
02:20Now, which is it?
02:21I don't know, Mr. Utterson.
02:22I can't say, sir.
02:24Oh, it's been a most terrible time, sir.
02:26Over two weeks now, he's been locked in his laboratory.
02:29Won't come out.
02:31We put his meals there by the door.
02:33Then after we go away, he takes them inside.
02:36If he's inside.
02:37Who else could be?
02:38Look, sir.
02:39Here are two of the prescriptions he left with me only this afternoon.
02:42Now, you know Dr. Dekal's handwriting.
02:45Is that his hand?
02:49Very odd.
02:51Very odd indeed.
02:52Yes, but is it Dr. Dekal's writing?
02:55Well, yes and no.
02:56I should say that on a great stress, he might write like this.
03:00Begging your pardon, sir.
03:01I think it's the other.
03:02The other?
03:02What other?
03:03Oh, you know, sir.
03:04You will remember him.
03:04His friend.
03:05Hyde, his name was.
03:07But Hyde disappeared a year ago.
03:09He wouldn't dare to return to the police after him.
03:11I believe he's back, sir.
03:13And I believe he's done something to Dr. Dekal.
03:14We shall pay a visit to Mr. Hyde.
03:20If it is he.
03:22Yes, sir.
03:23I should bring a pistol, sir, if I went into that room.
03:26Yes.
03:28You may be right.
03:30After all, he is a murderer.
03:33I still don't understand why Dekal took up with him.
03:36I think he was what you might call an experiment, sir.
03:38Dr. Dekal knew some very strange people.
03:43Even murderers?
03:45Dr. Dekal, sir.
04:15I say, there, Dekal, are you inside?
04:21Go away!
04:22It's Utterson.
04:23It's your friend, Utterson.
04:25Now let me in like a good chap.
04:27Leave this house!
04:30That's not Dr. Dekal's voice.
04:31I was right, sir.
04:32There's someone else in there.
04:34You think it's Hyde?
04:34Sounds like him.
04:36If it's you Hyde, let us in or we'll force the door.
04:40All right.
04:45All right, now.
04:58Where are you?
04:59He's dead, sir.
05:17Yes.
05:18It was Hyde, wasn't it?
05:20Yes, sir, it was Mr. Hyde.
05:22Do you think he's killed Dr. Dekal?
05:24I don't know.
05:27I want you to go to the police.
05:29Tell them the murderer Hyde has been killed.
05:33I shall wait for the police here.
05:35Yes, sir.
05:35Oh, dear.
06:02Oh, dear.
06:02George Utterson, Esquire.
06:12To be opened in the event of my death or disappearance.
06:17Henry Jekyll.
06:23When you read this, dear friend, I shall be dead.
06:27And only this journal will remain to clarify a mystery,
06:30to exert a warning.
06:36You will recall, perhaps, a conversation we had two years ago
06:39when you came to see me.
06:40And you found Dr. Lanyon and me arguing.
06:43My dear Jekyll, you astonish me.
06:44A grown man like you talking like a romantic boy.
06:47Lanyon, we're scientists.
06:48In theory, nothing is impossible.
06:50That may be true, but some things are clearly improbable.
06:53Your idea is too fantastic.
06:54Mr. Utterson to see you, sir.
06:56Oh, I don't.
06:56We're having a row.
06:57Oh, so shall we go into law?
06:59No, we might need your fine legal mind to arbitrate.
07:02Ah, listen.
07:03Jekyll here has decided to go beyond the science,
07:05leaving me far behind.
07:07I'm only a doctor.
07:08A simple, ordinary doctor.
07:10Like me.
07:11No.
07:12You're not simple.
07:13You're not ordinary.
07:14You know what this outrageous fellow proposes to do?
07:16Raise the dead?
07:17Better than that.
07:18He wants to find the soul.
07:21He wants to play with it.
07:22Now, you're simplifying.
07:23You're simplifying.
07:24I merely suggested that one way of discovering the nature of the soul
07:27would be to dissect it the way you would any other organism.
07:29Yes, but I was on the impression the soul was not tangible.
07:32Neither is the air, but we know it exists.
07:34We can alter it.
07:35See?
07:40Fire.
07:41We're burning oxygen.
07:43This match is creating carbon dioxide.
07:46We've altered a substance no one can see.
07:49Now, why not the soul?
07:50Why not indeed?
07:52But where do you find it?
07:54In the mind, I should think.
07:56Those parts of the mind which regulate behavior.
07:59Why would it take up this poker, my dear Lanyon, and kill you?
08:02Well, I wouldn't put it past you.
08:03You're mad as a hatter.
08:04I should suffer terrible pangs of conscience afterwards.
08:06That would be my soul punishing me.
08:08Well, it is a small matter of the law, you know.
08:10All right.
08:11But suppose the mind could be so changed
08:13that I could strike Lanyon to the ground and feel nothing.
08:16Only pleasure in a violent act.
08:18And there is something, you know, in all of us,
08:19a caged beast which delights in horror and destruction.
08:21Well, the whole idea is far too fanciful.
08:24And slightly unwholesome.
08:26Let us know.
08:28I believe I'm on the track of something quite fantastic.
08:30The soul?
08:31The soul.
08:32Good and evil.
08:33Well, I believe it's possible artificially
08:36to produce either a monster or an angel in the same man.
08:40Rubbish.
08:41Where's my tea?
08:42I came here for tea, not a black mask.
08:45You shall have your tea, my old intolerant friend.
08:48Monster or an angel.
08:49But do you really believe that human beings are both?
08:54I do.
08:56Oh, none of us is either very good or very bad.
08:58We're just a mixture.
08:59A blend, you might say, like...
09:01Like Lanyon's beloved china tea.
09:03Bring it in, figure.
09:04Aren't you afraid to...
09:06Upset the balance of a soul?
09:08Why not?
09:09I'd only bring out what was already there, what was good.
09:12The angel.
09:12Exactly.
09:13But suppose you release the monster.
09:16Suppose, my dear Jekyll, that you uncage the monster.
09:20That's a risk one would have to take in the interest of science.
09:25Science?
09:26Fiegel, you're impossible.
09:28But the tea?
09:29A proper blend, no doubt of it.
09:32Milk and sugar?
09:34Oh, I saw a client of yours.
09:36I was aware I had spoken too soon of my great interest.
09:39But I was curious to see how Lanyon and how you, Utterson,
09:42would respond to the idea of my experiments.
09:45I determined to say nothing more of my work until I was further along.
09:51As you remember, that winter we did not meet often.
09:54I was daily, nightly engaged in my work.
09:57My deliberate and hazardous journey into the soul of self.
10:01Thank you, Paul.
10:02Yes, sir.
10:03Uh, sir.
10:05Yes, Paul.
10:06Sir, don't you think...
10:07Well, I mean, it's not my place, but...
10:10I work too hard. I need a rest.
10:12Exactly, sir.
10:12You know, it's not natural, all these hours you spend here.
10:16Only today, Dr. Lanyon called and much put out he was too,
10:19and you wouldn't receive him.
10:20Well, Paul, I'll make you a promise.
10:22Either I conclude my experiments this week,
10:24or I give them up altogether.
10:25Oh, thank you, sir.
10:25It would be a great relief to us all.
10:28The staff spared the night of your tent.
10:31I had no idea when I made Paul my promise
10:33that success was at hand.
10:36After months of tedious experiment,
10:38I had found almost by accident
10:41the proper substances
10:42which, combined,
10:43had the power to split the soul in two.
10:47The basic preparation involved a solution
10:49in which certain salts were combined and balanced.
10:52On this occasion,
10:53I added to them one of the new powders
10:55brought to me by Paul.
10:56The change in the solution's color
11:04was not anticipated.
11:06For a moment, I hesitated.
11:08I had been my own guinea pig from the beginning.
11:11I had tried on myself
11:12all the formulae which had failed.
11:15Now,
11:16if I was to succeed,
11:18did I dare take the consequences
11:19of my extraordinary act?
11:21I paused uncertain
11:23for a single heart's beat.
11:30Then I drank the liquid.
11:43For a moment,
11:44I thought I was dying,
11:45sinking into oblivion.
11:47I was dying,
14:47As time passed, I found a strange enjoyment in transforming myself from Jekyll to Hyde.
14:53By day, I was the good, kind Dr. Jekyll.
14:59By night, I was someone else, a strange, a violent creature.
15:04I was the wicked Mr. Hyde.
15:05Get out of the way, Mr. Hyde.
15:19The usual, Mr. Hyde.
15:23The usual.
15:24Two glasses.
15:25Yes, sir.
15:25This is my father.
15:32Now, come on.
15:33You promised.
15:36You stupid.
15:37Hey, now then, what do you think you're doing?
15:41I'm sure you'll find another companion.
15:45Oh, yes.
15:46Yes, of course.
15:47I didn't mean to.
15:48Why, I, uh, why, yes.
15:50Why don't you sit down, my girl?
16:07You're that Mr. Hyde, aren't you?
16:17Yes, I'm that Mr. Hyde.
16:19What a fine girl you are.
16:23Mr. Hyde, you're the wickedest man in London.
16:25Do they?
16:37How wicked do you think I am?
16:52Why do you know?
16:54You're awful cheeky, pulling me over here like this.
16:57A wife and a gentleman friend.
16:58Well, you're glad you're here, aren't you, my girl?
17:01Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
17:04Why don't you come a little closer?
17:07I'm not sure I want to.
17:10Come here.
17:13Here now, none of that.
17:15I'm not what you think, and it's a public place.
17:19Yes, my friend.
17:25I realized early that I was involved in an infernal game
17:29whose prize was nothing more nor less than my living soul.
17:33But I could not help myself.
17:35I enjoyed being Mr. Hyde.
17:37Hyde was younger, more daring than I.
17:43He did all the things I had only contemplated in shameful reveries.
17:47And at first, I saw no harm in unleashing Mr. Hyde from time to time.
17:52The sense of danger exhilarated me.
17:54So it's Mr. Hyde, come back to us.
18:10All right, my girl, let's go.
18:12Let's go, he says.
18:14Just like that.
18:15Just like he was a real fine gentleman or something.
18:17You'd better get a move on, mister.
18:20Gladly.
18:21Shall we move on, my girl?
18:23No, we will not.
18:24Now, off with you.
18:26You, Mr. Devil, get out of here.
18:31Filthy devil, did you say?
18:33All right, what's going on here?
18:47It's in.
18:48It's in me.
18:49It's in me and I.
18:49He tried to murder Ms. Veloz.
18:51He ran out down there, down the alley.
18:53Come on.
18:53Let's go.
19:23Open up in there.
19:33Open up in the green space.
19:37Come on, open up.
19:42Open up, come on.
19:48Open up.
19:52Good evening, officer.
19:53Oh, it's you, Dr. Jekyll.
19:58There's something I can do for you, officer.
20:00Well, sir, we follow the man called I.
20:02As a doctor, I realized at that moment
20:04that Mr. Hyde had become a disease
20:06which I could no longer control.
20:09Mr. Hyde was now capable of murder.
20:11In just a moment, we'll return to the second act of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
20:26And now your host, Bill Lundigan.
20:28Each week, Art Gilmore announces at the start of Climax,
20:34live from Television City in Hollywood.
20:37Well, I thought that you might get a kick out of seeing Television City live from Hollywood.
20:42And here it is, Television City.
20:52Live from Hollywood.
20:55Incidentally, when you think of Hollywood, you think of pictures.
20:58Here are some taken of me driving into the studio the other day for a rehearsal.
21:04And what a view you get through that wraparound windshield.
21:08And sure enough, right on time and driving a DeSoto hardtop
21:12with that color-sweep styling,
21:14a pretty lady in a pretty car, Mary Costner.
21:21Here comes another member of the team,
21:23our commercial producer on the show.
21:25And his name is Bud Cole.
21:26And as you can plainly see,
21:28he owns a Dodge Royal Lancer.
21:31And he loves it.
21:34Now, here's the man I was talking about who says,
21:37live from Television City in Hollywood,
21:40Art Gilmore, a Chrysler man from way back.
21:42And this year, driving a New Yorker.
21:45And off we go to the studio.
21:50Nice-looking cars, aren't they?
21:57Hi, Mary.
21:59And you know something?
22:00Whether it's Television City in Hollywood
22:02or around the square in your own hometown,
22:04you're seeing more and more cars of the forward look
22:07from Chrysler Corporation.
22:09You can spot them at a glance
22:10by their smooth, flowing lines.
22:12The most distinctively styled cars on the road today.
22:16Why don't you drive one
22:17and find out what a difference there is?
22:20And now we continue with Climax,
22:22tonight starring Michael Rennie,
22:23Cedric Hardwick,
22:25and Mary Sinclair,
22:26live from Hollywood.
22:28I vowed that never again would I take that potion
22:43which every fiber of my body now craved.
22:45I plunged into the good world again.
22:55I saw old friends
22:57and gave up my time to charity.
23:00But I realized that should I ever again become Hyde,
23:10I might not be able to return in safety to my own house,
23:14especially since the suspicions of the police
23:16were already aroused.
23:17I should need an ally.
23:20Someone who would keep for me the potion I needed
23:22to restore myself from Hyde to Jekyll.
23:29I decided that Dr. Lanyon,
23:33in his innocence,
23:34was the man.
23:34I gave him a package containing the potion.
23:41And I asked him to give it to a Mr. Hyde
23:42should that gentleman ever call.
23:44He'd only come to you if I was inaccessible.
23:47Well, all this seems to make very little sense,
23:50but I'll give it to him, of course.
23:52When does he have to call?
23:54Never, I hope.
23:55Confess now, dear Dr. Jekyll.
23:57Your ears have been burning, haven't they?
23:59Pleasantly, I hope.
24:00I've been telling you the address
24:01that you work far too hard.
24:02Oh, yes, indeed.
24:03Suddenly, like a black cloud across the sun,
24:05their faces grew dim.
24:07Their chatter like the noise of starlings,
24:09and I knew I could not endure them
24:10for another moment.
24:21Good gracious.
24:22What an extraordinary thing to do.
24:24You see?
24:25Overwork.
24:26I'm sure of it.
24:27He looks frightened.
24:28Well, I imagine the party's over, don't you?
24:31Oh, yes.
24:32And those eyes would only see.
24:53And those eyes would only see.
24:57And those beautiful golden trances.
25:03Were there in reality.
25:07In what early...
25:08So he says to me,
25:10will you marry me, doctor?
25:11And I says, marry you?
25:13Do you mean to say you said no?
25:14No!
25:15Are you out of your silly mind?
25:17I thought at first he was fooling me.
25:19Till he takes me strike to meet his old mum.
25:21Then, of course, I says yes, just like that.
25:23Oh, you are a lucky one.
25:25I should think so.
25:27And he's a good, reliable sort.
25:28He is.
25:28He works irregular, which is important, I say.
25:31You're right.
25:32They don't grow his kind on no tree.
25:34Don't think I'll know it.
25:35Hello, Harry.
25:36Is he coming here tonight?
25:39He said he'd look here and he don't approve.
25:42Ain't it something?
25:43Me being married to a fine chap in Tunbridge?
25:46Well, I suppose you're going to live there.
25:48Those are our plans for the present.
25:49Oh, and aren't we grand?
25:51When's the night you're going to be?
25:53Next month.
25:54And we'll go to Brighton on our honeymoon.
25:56Three days.
25:56It'll be three old days for the sea.
25:59Oh, some girls have all this luck.
26:01Oh, look over there by the door.
26:06Ain't that Mr. I?
26:07It's him all right, the beast.
26:09Imagine he's daring to show his ugly fights around him
26:11after what happened between him and us.
26:21Smile, my girl.
26:23Ain't she glad to see your old friend?
26:25This girl's no friend of yours,
26:26so just find somebody else to bother.
26:29I want to bother you, my girl.
26:31I'm sure you'd miss me.
26:33Let's have a little wine in that booth over there.
26:36I'm waiting for my fiancée
26:37and have no time for strange men
26:39that don't behave themselves proper.
26:41No.
26:41Who do you think you are now?
26:43The only one who's good enough for you.
26:52Some poor fool's making an honest woman.
26:55Don't talk to me like that.
26:57You like being talked to that way.
26:59Your man doesn't know how to talk to you.
27:00I do, but your man doesn't.
27:02No.
27:03Please, Mr. Wright.
27:05Please.
27:05I can't stay here with you.
27:07You stay here with your friend,
27:08your only friend.
27:10Please, Mr. Wright.
27:11I've got to go.
27:13You don't like me?
27:15Oh, I do.
27:16I like you.
27:18I do like you, but my girlfriend's waiting.
27:20She's over there expecting me.
27:21You'll not leave here till I say you can.
27:24You and I are going to see a great deal of each other from now on.
27:28Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
27:33Where's my girl?
27:34She said she'd be here tonight.
27:36She was waiting for you.
27:37Then he came in, Mr. Wright.
27:39And they're sitting over there.
27:42Oh.
27:43So he came back, did he?
27:46But he's going to get taught a lesson.
27:49Don't be careful.
27:50Quickly.
27:51Here I am over here talking to Mr. Wright.
27:55Oh, Mr. Wright, I really must be...
27:57Sit down, my girl.
27:58She's going, I'd.
27:59Go away.
28:00Listen, you.
28:01You're going to get a good thrashing,
28:02and I'm going to give it.
28:03We've been at his funeral, my girl.
28:11Aah! Aah! Aah!
28:41I'm embarrassed to see you, Doctor.
28:46Is he an appointment?
28:48No, sir. He seems very agitated.
28:54Show him in.
28:58Will you go in, please?
29:09You are Mr. Hyde.
29:12Give me the package.
29:13I shall do no such thing.
29:16You, sir, are a murderer.
29:18It is my duty to report you to the police.
29:21Get that package!
29:24You can't intimidate me.
29:25You promised, Jekyll.
29:26Now get me that package. Then call the police if you like.
29:29I will not be an accomplice to murder.
29:30How do you know it was murder?
29:32Newspapers.
29:33In the name of your friendship with Jekyll, give me that package.
29:37Go to him yourself.
29:38I can't!
29:38No, of course you can't.
29:39He won't traffic with the killer, neither will I.
29:42In the name of everything you love, give me that package!
29:45I will not help you.
29:47Get it!
29:51I will not help you.
30:02I will not help you.
30:14Now, listen to me.
30:26I promised Jekyll that should you call, I'd give you that package.
30:29When you have it.
30:31Now, please go.
30:42Now, Mac.
30:44You who have always had such narrow views.
30:49You who have always derided my theories.
30:55Behold.
30:56You who have always had such narrow views.
31:01You who have always had such narrow views.
31:05You who have always had such narrow views.
31:11You who have always told me.
31:15Maybe you should have to choose the way.
32:33Chico.
32:35Help me.
32:37Is this witchcraft?
32:40No.
32:40I'm a man in science, the blackest munchy of all.
32:46I've gone mad.
32:48This is a dream, a nightmare.
32:49No, it's true.
32:52I am Dr. Chico.
32:54And I am Mr. Hyde.
32:55I can't believe it.
32:58You've seen it.
33:01No.
33:03What have you done then?
33:06I've fallen into the pit.
33:09You...
33:10You are a murderer.
33:14Yes.
33:16Yes, Mr. Hyde killed a man last night, and I am a murderer.
33:23Who are you?
33:25How can you be two men?
33:26I remember when it started, Lanyan.
33:30I remember what I told you.
33:33That each man is both a monster and an angel.
33:36Through science he could be either.
33:39I succeeded, Lanyan.
33:41I've uncaged a beast, a horror.
33:44Surely once you did this thing, it was enough.
33:47I thought so.
33:48I thought so, but I couldn't stop it.
33:52I tried, but I couldn't.
33:54Lanyan, there's something in me which craves to be hired, and I can't stop it.
34:11What now?
34:13I don't know.
34:15Are you...
34:16Do you have to do this terrible thing again?
34:20I don't know.
34:21I can't think.
34:23Is it like a drug?
34:25Must you become Hyde in spite of your better self?
34:28I'm not sure.
34:30But I know this.
34:33If I do this thing again, I shall die.
34:36I'm being torn apart by this beast.
34:41Then, Jigal,
34:42I think it better that you die.
34:46You say this to your friend.
34:51Your old friend.
34:52I say it because you are my old friend.
34:54Because your soul may soon be lost forever if it's not already, Dan.
34:57Am I Jigal responsible for what Hyde does?
34:59Can I help what this group does?
35:00You are Hyde.
35:01You chose of your own will to be Hyde.
35:04So you
35:05are a murderer and a blasphemer.
35:07I only wanted to find the soul as an experiment.
35:10You found the soul.
35:11You experimented.
35:12You've gone further than any man was meant to go.
35:17Your fate is no longer for man to decide.
35:20Lannion.
35:22Lannion, I'll never take that potion again.
35:23I swear it.
35:24The damage is done.
35:25The corruption has already started.
35:29Lannion.
35:31I'll devote my life to others.
35:33I'll do more than that.
35:34I'll work in the charity hospitals.
35:35I'll do anything you say, Lannion.
35:37I'll do what you must.
35:39Never see me again.
35:41Lannion.
35:43You'd better go now.
35:45Lannion, you and I are old friends.
35:47We have nothing to do with this other creature, Hyde.
35:49You are Hyde.
35:51But so are you.
35:52Every man has a Hyde within him.
35:54I have kept mine caved.
35:55I did what I did out of curiosity, out of innocence.
35:58Innocence?
35:59You meddling fool.
36:01You have dared to challenge God.
36:03You reek of hell.
36:05Get out.
36:07Get out.
36:24In just a moment, we will return to the third act of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
36:29And now, once again, your host, Bill Lundigan.
36:31In the course of a year's driving, you naturally run into a lot of different road conditions,
36:38and not all of them are ideal.
36:40For example, here's the kind of driving that we all enjoy.
36:45We're on a wide, smooth highway.
36:48You're really rolling along with never a bump.
36:50But now and then, you're likely to encounter a stretch like this.
36:54And believe me, the going can get rough.
36:57So, Chrysler Corporation engineers decided to find a way to give you a ride
37:01that will be smooth on rough-rutted roads, as well as on a boulevard.
37:05And here is the secret.
37:07This is an AuraFlow shock absorber.
37:10It was developed by Chrysler Corporation exclusively for Chrysler Corporation cars.
37:14And it may look just like an ordinary shock absorber, but it definitely is not.
37:19For this unique AuraFlow shock absorber is built to absorb more pounding and bouncing on a rough road like this
37:27than any other passenger car shock absorber in the industry.
37:31The AuraFlow shock absorber literally soaks up the bumps,
37:35keeping your car level on its course and the ride soft, smooth, and beautifully controlled.
37:41We call it the Boulevard Ride.
37:43And believe me, that's the right name for it.
37:46You get a ride that's as soft and smooth as a feather bed.
37:49And here's a tiny tot enjoying to the full the ride of her mother's new Chrysler Corporation car.
37:58And there you have it.
38:00The smoothest, easiest riding cars on the road today,
38:03thanks to the only shock absorbers in the industry that give you a real boulevard ride.
38:09And right now is a wonderful time to buy a Chrysler Corporation car.
38:12You'll find your dealer is eager to arrange the best possible trade-in and best possible payments.
38:17So, why not see him tomorrow?
38:20And now, we return to Climax.
38:23I refuse to accept Lanyon's grim analysis.
38:40I refuse to be defeated.
38:42With all the strength and will left in me,
38:45I did my best to atone for my unholy deeds.
38:47I will see if Dr. Jekyll is in.
38:50But, like any criminal, there will lose ends to be attended to.
38:53Only on one account.
38:54I was forced to deal with the police.
38:56In Dr. Jekyll's laboratory several months ago.
38:59He and Dr. Jekyll were quite friendly, weren't they?
39:01It would be presumptuous of me to say.
39:04I shall get the doctor.
39:21Good evening, officer.
39:22Oh, sorry to trouble you again, Dr. Jekyll.
39:25That's perfectly all right.
39:26Won't you sit down?
39:27No, no, thank you, sir.
39:27You, uh, know about the murder in Soho?
39:32Yes, I read about it.
39:34We understand that Hyde was a friend of yours.
39:37Not a friend, no.
39:38But you were acquainted with him.
39:40Yes.
39:42Why didn't you tell me about this the night I first came to your laboratory?
39:45Because you never asked me.
39:47You simply asked if Hyde was concealed on the premises,
39:50and I said no because he wasn't.
39:51You were not concealing him.
39:52No.
39:53And you're not concealing him now?
39:55No, I am not.
39:56You may search the house.
39:58Thank you, sir.
39:58We, we planned to.
40:00Now, Dr. Jekyll,
40:03this man Hyde, I'd obviously, strikes me as a sort of chap a man like you would know.
40:08Really?
40:09Can you tell me what you know of him?
40:12Not much, officer.
40:14You see, I do a certain amount of research into the, well, into the criminal mind.
40:18I used Hyde as an experiment, as an example.
40:21Any idea where he's gone?
40:23No, but I don't think he's apt to return to London.
40:25Then he has left the city.
40:26I should think so.
40:29You know, Dr. Jekyll,
40:29you could be in very serious trouble
40:31if you were to try to protect or conceal him now.
40:35Yes, I know that.
40:36Can I speak to you frankly, sir?
40:39I guess.
40:40Well, this man Hyde, he doesn't have anything on you, does he?
40:45I mean, he's not an extortionist or a blackmailer.
40:48Good heavens no, officer.
40:50Now, I detest the fellow quite as much as you do,
40:52and I'm free to denounce him if you should capture him.
40:54Good, I'm glad we can count on you.
40:56Now, have you any idea where he might have gone?
41:00Well, as I told you...
41:00The police were less problem than I'd anticipated.
41:03They believed that in some way I'd been victimized by the odious Hyde,
41:07and after a thorough search of my house, they left me alone.
41:11As time passed, they gave up their quest for Hyde,
41:14assuming he had left the country.
41:15I destroyed all my drugs and compounds to safeguard myself against all relapse.
41:35Now, I would turn to charity, to good works as I had promised landing.
41:40I grew more and more secure.
41:43I had caged Hyde once and for all.
41:46But I was myself again.
41:51So confident was I that I paid a call one evening to a certain cabaret in Soho.
42:06But I can't.
42:07I can't.
42:13Come on, Matt.
42:14Give us a little smile.
42:16There's nothing to smile.
42:17But you can't go on breathing your life away.
42:20What's done is done.
42:22I wish I was dead, too.
42:23Come now.
42:24You're still young and attractive,
42:26and you've got ever so many admirers.
42:29I only want it in.
42:30Come on now, Perkow.
42:33Perkow.
42:33Oh, here comes it, Toph.
42:42He's coming over this way.
42:45I think he's going to come and talk to you.
42:47You mark my word.
42:48Good evening.
42:54Good evening.
42:58Excuse me.
42:59I'll just go and join my friend.
43:03May I sit down?
43:04Sit yourself.
43:06You're not waiting for anyone.
43:07No, I'm not waiting.
43:23It's a pleasant evening.
43:25Yes, a pleasant evening.
43:27I'll wait a champagne.
43:29Yes, sir.
43:33Tell the girl who was fiance.
43:34I had come partly out of curiosity
43:36and partly out of the desire to make amends,
43:39to help in some practical way this girl.
43:42Terrible experience.
43:43It was life I'd ruined.
43:44Yes, sir.
43:45Yes.
43:45And he fell dead.
43:47Right here in this room.
43:49Dead.
43:50We was to be married in three weeks' time.
43:53It's a trip to Brighton on Aranima.
44:03I'm sorry.
44:05Sorry?
44:07How can the likes of you know what it is to have your life in?
44:10It's your life's not over.
44:11Not over, is it?
44:13How many chances do you think a girl down here has of a decent marriage?
44:16I'm sure you'll have many more.
44:19I should have known when I first saw him.
44:21What he'd do.
44:23What he was.
44:24Your fiance?
44:26No, the other.
44:27Mr. Odd.
44:29I could get my hands on him right now.
44:31I'd twist a knot in his arms.
44:33Why is he so terrible?
44:34He's like the devil himself.
44:37So very bad.
44:39He was worse than bad.
44:41He was so, so hateful he, he attracted you.
44:45I'm sure he's miles away by now.
44:48I'd try they'd catch him and hang him by his neck.
44:51Have you any idea where he's gone?
44:53Who knows?
44:55I suppose you read all about it in the pifers.
44:57There it all was.
44:59My name and everything.
45:00Just like the queen's name.
45:02There I was.
45:03Here.
45:04You can see some of the things they say about the horrible crime and so on.
45:09My name's spelled wrong in the early editions, but they got it right, Lector.
45:12Yes, I read these at the time.
45:15I don't know what me poor mum would have said.
45:17She'd seen a daughter's name like that.
45:21Of course, it was on the same page as the queen's.
45:26Me mum's dead.
45:27Would you like a little champagne?
45:32All right.
45:34That's a nice drink.
45:37I'd like to help you if you'll allow me.
45:39You know, none of that.
45:41Why, I already know who you are.
45:44I'm just an idle philanthropist.
45:46Oh.
45:48That's different.
45:50But don't get no ideas about me.
45:52Even if I was involved in a crime of fashion.
45:54I say, it's awful odd a gentleman like you down here.
46:06Oh, well.
46:07You see, I'm a doctor.
46:08I do charity work in these parts.
46:09Oh, that explains it.
46:11I bet you're a good doctor.
46:14You really must be the kind of...
46:15As we talked, I found her oddly attractive.
46:18And I resolved to help her in any way I could.
46:20As we chatted, even the cabaret seemed less tawdry and disagreeable.
46:26A sister of mine in Norfolk needs a housekeeper.
46:29I'm sure you'd like her very much.
46:32You're not just playing with me?
46:34No.
46:35I mean it's for no obligations.
46:37Oh, I sigh.
46:39This beats everything.
46:42Are you feeling all right?
46:45Yes.
46:45It's just a headache.
46:46It must be the heat in here.
46:49It's very close.
46:50Would you like to take a turn outside?
46:52No.
46:53No, thank you.
46:56A strange sense of unreality while we talked.
46:58I would appreciate that.
46:59As though I was seeing the world through a heavy, muffling veil.
47:05Say, you do look wrong.
47:08Yes, I'm not...
47:09I'm not feeling very hearty.
47:12Shall I get you a cab?
47:13Yes.
47:20We'll take a drive, my girl.
47:23What did you say?
47:25You heard it.
47:28Your son had just locked in for a moment.
47:32You frightened my girl.
47:34I smoked in for a moment.
47:39Yes.
47:58The End
48:28The thunderbolt had struck
48:38I had become Hyde without wanting to
48:41Without having first taken the potion
48:44With every ounce of wool left to me
48:46I forced myself
48:47I forced the evil Hyde to return to the laboratory
48:50And desperately I searched for the chemicals necessary
48:52To transform me back into myself
48:54But there was none left
48:56All had been destroyed
48:58The next morning, however
49:12I found I was again myself
49:15I was again Dr. Jekyll
49:17I gave Poole various instructions
49:21He was to go to the chemists
49:23He was to order the ingredients I needed for my compound
49:26I spoke urgently
49:28For I had no idea when I might again become that monster
49:32Whose evil power over me was nearly complete
49:34I don't want to see anyone, Poole
49:36I'll be working in my laboratory for the next while
49:38To bring my meals, just leave them outside the door
49:41Very good, sir
49:42On Poole
49:42I want the door into the laboratory
49:44The one that leads into the street
49:46I want it padlocked
49:47Yes, sir
49:47From the outside
49:48From the outside, sir
49:50Yes, Poole, and you keep the key
49:51I shan't need it
49:52Yes, sir
49:54I took every precaution to keep the monster caged
50:01At least within the house
50:03So far I have
50:06Though the nightmare is now becoming more than I can endure
50:09I no longer know which I am
50:13Jekyll or Hyde
50:15It was soon evident that the most necessary ingredient
50:23A certain salt
50:25Was no longer available at any chemists
50:27It had been a flawed chemical
50:29An impure salt
50:31And its very impurity made it impossible to duplicate
50:34No luck, sir
50:39They say the salt you've got are the same as they've always said
50:43Tell them they lie
50:44Tell them to look again
50:46Tell them to order more
50:47Yes, sir
50:48I will
50:49I have known now for some days
51:03That I shall never leave this world alive
51:05I have given up all hope
51:07My life is now a battleground
51:10Where good and evil are at war
51:12And the victory of either one will mean my death
51:15So great has been my sin
51:18The police officer, Mr. Utterson
51:40The body's in here, officer
51:42Well, we'll have a look and then I'll take your testimony
51:44Who will ask me to come?
51:46It's all over now
51:47You know, too, then
51:49Yes
51:50It's all in here
51:52He left this journal for me
51:55It's a perfectly clear case of self-defense, isn't it, Mr. Utterson?
51:58What?
52:00Oh, yes, that's quite correct
52:01He assaulted me with criminal intent
52:03But what's he done with Dr. Jekyll?
52:05That's the important thing
52:06The whole matter is out of our hands
52:08Ah, that it is
52:10Well, Mr. Wright
52:12You got what was coming to you
52:13That's certain
52:14No, officer
52:15That's not Mr. Hyde
52:18That's Dr. Jekyll
52:20What are you saying, sir?
52:22I saw him with my own eyes
52:23It was Mr. Hyde
52:25Look and see
52:26What?
52:32It is Dr. Jekyll
52:33I don't understand
52:35The beast and the monster
52:40The angel
52:42It was an unholy thing he did
52:46Separating them
52:47True
52:48True
52:50But only the good remains
52:53We've arranged a rather unique fashion show for you this evening
53:13Now, maybe the fashion shows you're used to seeing
53:16Feature what the best-dressed man or woman is wearing today
53:19But this fashion show we call
53:21What the best-dressed car is wearing
53:23And here's Mary Costa to tell you all about it
53:26Thank you, Bill
53:28Here you see a full array of custom accessories
53:32From the Mopar division of Chrysler Corporation
53:34That's Mopar for Motor
53:36Par for Part
53:38These accessories are the smartest
53:40Most durable
53:40And most fashion right
53:42That you can get for your car
53:44And you can get them in a minute
53:45In your own neighborhood
53:46But now
53:47Let's go to the home plant
53:49Of Mopar
53:50At Centerline, Michigan
53:52This is Mopar
53:55The most efficient parts plant in the industry
53:57Where 2,000 employees
53:59Work to handle each order
54:00The day it arrives
54:01Whether by teletype
54:02By wire
54:03Or by mail
54:04Here is where emergency orders are received
54:07Every dealer knowing he can phone direct
54:09All orders are checked against microfilm records
54:12That show the original specifications
54:14Of every Chrysler Corporation car or truck
54:16The order is then broken down electronically
54:19Into year, make, model of car
54:21And part or accessory needed
54:23After this, the order is taken
54:25To the pneumatic tube system
54:27To be instantly whisked

56:33What a real treat this is for me
56:35To play this show
56:35Because first of all, Bill
56:37I've always been crazy about jazz
56:38And secondly, because
56:40I think this is a true
56:41And completely different
56:43Kind of a story
56:43About the men who make music
56:45It sounds to me

56:56Who do you think
