00:33:22It's Penny. Penny Keaton.
00:33:25They call me Penny on account of that's how much I charge.
00:33:27Yeah, thank you, Miss Keaton. That's fine.
00:33:31Now, could you tell me where you were
00:33:34when you first became aware of something unusual?
00:33:37I was in my room, one wheelbarrow away,
00:33:40getting ready to start my work.
00:33:42And what time is this?
00:33:43Probably about 11 o'clock, I think.
00:33:46What sort of work is it that you do
00:33:48that begins at 11 o'clock at night?
00:33:50Well, I should have thought that was obvious, Mr Utterson.
00:33:56Please go on, Miss Keaton.
00:33:58What was it you heard?
00:34:00Well, first of all, there was some chatter
00:34:03between a man and a woman.
00:34:05Then she started screaming
00:34:07and it sounded like he was trying to drag her away.
00:34:10And what did he do?
00:34:12I ran over to my window to have a look
00:34:14and that's when I saw him.
00:34:16You saw who?
00:34:21Dr Jekyll.
00:34:24He was hunched over this girl, lying on the ground,
00:34:27laying into her he was,
00:34:30pounding her on her head.
00:34:32You're quite sure that's who he was?
00:34:35Oh, yeah.
00:34:35How is it that you're so familiar with Dr Jekyll?
00:34:38You must have known him previously to have recognised him.
00:34:41Are you conducting this interview or am I?
00:34:43All the girls down wheelbarrow, I know Dr Jekyll.
00:34:48Regular, was he?
00:34:49Oh, yeah.
00:34:50Every December, regular like clockwork.
00:34:54He used to go around all the poor houses,
00:34:56handing out medicine to all them what had sickly children.
00:35:00He cured my ooping cough when I was a little girl.
00:35:03And what about the girl?
00:35:04Could you recognise her?
00:35:05Yeah.
00:35:07Her name was Lily Palmer.
00:35:08And can we assume her line of work was similar to your own?
00:35:15Yeah.
00:35:16But I'd heard she was right picky.
00:35:20Probably why she started a fight with him.
00:35:23Well, we're very grateful for your statement, Miss Keaton.
00:35:27Now, if there's nothing else,
00:35:31could you just fill out your name and address at the bottom of this paper
00:35:34and you can be on your way?
00:35:37I, um...
00:35:38I ain't never used an ink pen before.
00:35:42Oh, me.
00:35:44So that's Penny Keaton.
00:35:46Keaton spelt K-E-A-T-O-N.
00:35:49If you say so.
00:35:51And the address?
00:35:525A Wheelbarrow A.
00:35:54Is that all, Inspector?
00:35:57Fine.
00:35:57Can I go now?
00:35:58Yes, of course, Miss Keaton.
00:36:00Thank you very much again.
00:36:07You see, Inspector?
00:36:08Free medicine for the poor.
00:36:10That's the kind of man Henry Jekyll was.
00:36:13You seem to be forgetting the minor detail
00:36:15about him beating a woman to death in the gutter.
00:36:18It's a case of mistaken identity, I'm sure of it.
00:36:21And the confession?
00:36:22Forgery.
00:36:24Mr. Rutterson.
00:36:25Does the phrase clutching at straws mean anything to you?
00:36:29Look.
00:36:31If you go in front of the press tomorrow,
00:36:34the name Henry Jekyll would go down in history
00:36:36as some murderous crackpot.
00:36:39He at least deserves a fair hearing.
00:36:41I told you, there isn't going to be any trial.
00:36:43Well, there has to be a proper investigation.
00:36:46Do you know, Mr. Rutterson,
00:36:52just how many unsolved crimes we have on the books at any one time?
00:36:58I've got an opportunity here
00:36:59to chalk up four kidnappings and a murder
00:37:03to a single culprit
00:37:04and shut down five active investigations in one fell swoop.
00:37:08I'm not about to give that up on a whim.
00:37:12However...
00:37:13I must protest most of you.
00:37:14However...
00:37:14If you can mount a credible challenge,
00:37:23I will take it into account.
00:37:27And with that in mind,
00:37:29I will postpone my announcement about the case
00:37:32until the day after tomorrow.
00:37:34You've got a day, Mr. Rutterson.
00:37:40Use it wisely.
00:37:545A, wheelbarrow way.
00:38:045A, wheelbarrow.
00:38:065A, wheelbarrow.
00:38:114A, wheelbarrow.
00:38:135A, wheelbarrow.
00:38:14Door's not locked.
00:38:16Actually, I ain't got a lock.
00:38:21Bed's by the window.
00:38:22I'll be with you in a minute.
00:38:24Sorry.
00:38:26Um, good afternoon.
00:38:29Um,
00:38:29I was actually wondering
00:38:32if you could tell me any more about what you saw.
00:38:34You're not a copper, are you?
00:38:37No.
00:38:39Actually, I'm a friend of Henry Jekyll's.
00:38:42I'm just trying to understand what happened.
00:38:46Well, you can ask me what you like.
00:38:49But, if you don't mind, I've got to get on with the laundry.
00:38:52Yes, yes, please, of course.
00:38:54Have a sit down, why don't you?
00:38:58On the bed?
00:39:00That's where everyone else sits.
00:39:04So, this is the window you were looking out through?
00:39:12Yeah.
00:39:13He looked me clear in the eye when he stood up.
00:39:16Like he wasn't bothered.
00:39:20Erm, what are you doing?
00:39:23Just doing my laundry.
00:39:25I've only got one frock.
00:39:27I can't wear it and wash it at the same time, can I?
00:39:29Please, please stay behind the screen.
00:39:32Suit yourself.
00:39:34Erm, er, so, erm, what were you saying?
00:39:38I've only got one frock.
00:39:40No, about Henry, erm, er, that he wasn't concerned that you'd seen him.
00:39:46Yeah.
00:39:47Funny, now I think about it.
00:39:49He just looked at me.
00:39:51As if he wanted to be seen.
00:39:54You what?
00:39:55You what?
00:39:56Please!
00:39:57I've got to get on.
00:39:58I'm going out to work again in a bit.
00:40:00Erm, where is your place of work?
00:40:04You're sitting on it, love.
00:40:07Erm, look, er, you've been very helpful, thank you.
00:40:10Erm, I will leave you my card.
00:40:12And, erm, something...
00:40:16Something for your trouble.
00:40:18Much obliged.
00:40:19The old thing's going to give me nightmares for sure.
00:40:22Keep seeing him.
00:40:24Unched over her body.
00:40:26With this walking cane in his hand.
00:40:28Bring it down on her head, over and over.
00:40:30With one in his hand.
00:40:34He's walking cane.
00:40:36And he never carried a cane.
00:40:39He did that night.
00:40:40Not.
00:41:10It's Mr. Paul, isn't it?
00:41:25Yes, sir.
00:41:29You've served the family for quite some time now.
00:41:32All my adult life, sir.
00:41:34So I suppose the police had quite a few questions to ask you.
00:41:39I've always thought, sir, that the most important quality in a gentleman's gentleman is discretion.
00:41:49I appreciate your loyalty to Henry, Mr. Paul.
00:41:54But I'm not working with the police, you know.
00:41:57I'm fully aware of who you are, sir.
00:42:00Then you know that I'm a great friend of Henry's.
00:42:04So if there was anything indiscreet?
00:42:09The facts of the matter are precisely as I relayed them to the police, sir.
00:42:17Except...
00:42:19Yes?
00:42:21One of the maids reported to me that she had heard some unusual comings and goings late at night.
00:42:33You suspect it was Henry?
00:42:35Well, sir, on one occasion, the young lady was so concerned that she left her bed and went to investigate.
00:42:48She reported to me the following day that she had caught a glimpse of a lady and a gentleman entering the property by the rear entrance, well past midnight.
00:43:03She described the lady as being somewhat in disarray.
00:43:10And the gentleman?
00:43:13The gentleman was unmistakably Dr. Henry Jekyll.
00:43:21The man named Henry, in this room.
00:43:47The witness's description of events ties in exactly with Henry's confession.
00:43:53More or less.
00:43:55More or less. Or exactly.
00:44:01Exactly.
00:44:03He tried to grab the girl and drag her away.
00:44:07When she wouldn't go, he beat her to death.
00:44:11And the timing of the murder fits in with Henry's visit here.
00:44:17Yes.
00:44:19The girl was murdered at around 11 o'clock.
00:44:23Just enough time for Henry to make it across town and arrive here by midnight.
00:44:29If he were the killer.
00:44:31Then you've really no arguments for the defence at all, Gabriel.
00:44:35It gets worse.
00:44:37I went over to the Jekyll estate to speak with some of the staff.
00:44:41The butler said that the maid actually saw Henry bring a girl back late at night.
00:44:47Um, I'll be turning in now if that's alright.
00:44:51Oh, Hattie. Um, one moment. There's something I wanted to ask you.
00:44:57When Dr Jekyll arrived at the door that night, was he carrying a walking cane?
00:45:07I don't think so, no.
00:45:09I don't think so.
00:45:11I don't recall Henry ever carrying a cane.
00:45:15And he certainly wasn't carrying one when he entered the study.
00:45:19But the eyewitness said that it was used as the murder weapon.
00:45:27If I stood up in court for the defence and brought Hattie in as a witness,
00:45:32it would give any jury report a thought.
00:45:34I'd rather not going to court, sir.
00:45:36Don't worry. There won't be a trial. It's just hypothetical.
00:45:39And if I was the hypothetical prosecutor,
00:45:42I'd point out that you hadn't seen Henry in several weeks prior to his visit.
00:45:46And it's quite possible that a man of his age might have started using a cane in the meantime.
00:45:52You don't need to sound so proud of yourself.
00:45:54I'm just playing devil's advocate.
00:45:57What about the written confession?
00:46:00It could have been a forgery.
00:46:02Slipped into Henry's pocket by whoever shot him.
00:46:05Or have you checked the handwriting?
00:46:07No.
00:46:10No.
00:46:11I have to.
00:46:35This is the will Henry gave me the other night.
00:46:38It's handwritten.
00:46:45Well?
00:46:50It looks...
00:46:59...the same.
00:47:00I know you want to believe he's innocent, but you think that about everybody.
00:47:12Did you hear about Mr. Enfield?
00:47:14The court case. I completely forgot.
00:47:17Don't worry. He decided to plead guilty after all.
00:47:20Admitted everything.
00:47:22It was all in this morning's paper.
00:47:25He was fined fifty guineas.
00:47:27Oh.
00:47:29I wonder what brought that on.
00:47:33Perhaps I'm just not a very good judge of character.
00:47:39If you don't mind me saying, Mr. Utterson, sir...
00:47:42I was just thinking...
00:47:43What is it?
00:47:44Well, that man, Dr. Jekyll...
00:47:46He wasn't carrying a cane when he came here, but he did have a briefcase.
00:47:49Yes. Yes, I know he had a case. I've worked for myself.
00:47:52Well, what I mean is...
00:47:56It's like this.
00:48:01If you hold this and pretend it's Dr. Jekyll's case...
00:48:04...and then if you pretend this is a walking cane...
00:48:07...then try and grab me and hit me over the head with the cane.
00:48:12Uh...
00:48:13I don't think I ought to...
00:48:14It's all right. Just try it. You'll get what I mean in a minute.
00:48:18Very well.
00:48:26Now, try and grab me.
00:48:29Go on.
00:48:33Um...
00:48:37Now, how are you going to hit her with the cane?
00:48:55Now, if you did that in court, it would definitely give the jury pause for thought.
00:49:01Did the witness mention anything about his carrying a case?
00:49:07No.
00:49:12Where are you going?
00:49:13To ask her.
00:49:15If this is the only defence we've got...
00:49:17...I've got to make sure of it.
00:49:18It's getting late.
00:49:19Don't worry.
00:49:21I think she'll still be up.
00:49:37...
00:49:38...
00:49:39...
00:49:40...
00:49:42How much did you say it was again?
00:49:44Tuppence.
00:49:45Tuppence?
00:49:46I thought you said a penny.
00:49:48For how you wanted it, it's tuppence.
00:49:51Fair enough.
00:49:53Beats paying fifty guineas, that's for certain.
00:49:56Door's not locked.
00:49:58What do you think you're doing?
00:49:59Don't let them in.
00:50:00I don't want anyone to see me here.
00:50:03Oh, for Christ's sake.
00:50:06You?
00:50:08What do you want?
00:50:09What do you want?
00:50:14Ah!
00:50:15Ah!
00:50:17Ah!
00:50:19Ah!
00:50:21Ah!
00:50:23Ah!
00:50:25Ah!
00:50:26Ah!
00:50:28Ah!
00:50:29Ah!
00:50:33Ah!
00:50:34Ah!
00:50:36Ah!
00:50:37Did you speak to her?
00:50:42I knocked on her door.
00:50:44There was no answer.
00:50:46I told you it was getting late.
00:50:50What's your plan for tomorrow?
00:50:53I'll head back over to the Jekyll estate.
00:50:56With any luck, I'll be able to speak with a girl that saw Henry the night.
00:51:01I think the butler was choosing his words rather carefully.
00:51:05I'd rather hear it from the girl.
00:51:07Come on.
00:51:10Let's go to bed.
00:51:12You've done enough for one day.
00:51:14Yes, yes, I know, but just one more minute.
00:51:16I just want to look at the confession one more time.
00:51:19Just to see if there's anything else that doesn't add up.
00:51:24Don't be long.
00:51:25You've done enough for one day.
00:51:26I'll be long.
00:51:27Let's go.
00:51:28Don't be long.
00:51:28Don't be long.
00:51:29Don't be long.
00:51:30Don't be long.
00:51:31Don't be long.
00:51:32Don't be long.
00:51:32Let's go.
00:51:33I don't know.
00:52:03I don't know.
00:52:33I don't know.
00:53:03Oh, not this again.
00:53:05Mr. Gabriel John Utterson.
00:53:08You know that's who I am.
00:53:09I'm sorry, sir, but I'm here in a formal capacity.
00:53:13I must ask you to accompany me and the constable to the police station.
00:53:17And bring with you, please, any documents you hold relating to Henry Jekyll, including that confession.
00:53:24What is it this time?
00:53:24I think we'd best discuss it at the station, sir.
00:53:29Anything you have to say to me can be said in front of my wife, Inspector.
00:53:34Very well.
00:53:36You are to be formally charged with the kidnapping and possible murder of one Penny Keaton on or about yesterday evening.
00:53:43What?
00:53:48There's something happened to her.
00:53:51She's vanished, Mr. Utterson.
00:53:53Well, isn't this a turn up for the box?
00:54:03Please, Inspector, you can't possibly think I had anything to do with this.
00:54:07Well, Henry Jekyll is currently lying downstairs in the morgue.
00:54:11So I can be fairly certain it wasn't him.
00:54:14If another girl has gone missing, it only proves, on my point, that Henry Jekyll was not responsible for any of the previous murders.
00:54:20Yes, it does, doesn't it?
00:54:22Rather convenient, that.
00:54:25Especially as the girl in question was my prime witness.
00:54:29I'd have to be a fool to try something so obvious.
00:54:32I can't discount that possibility, Mr. Utterson.
00:54:35Late last night, a disturbance was reported on Wheelbarrow Way.
00:54:45A girl screaming, some commotion, that sort of thing.
00:54:49Upon his arrival at room number 5A, my constable found the place to be in some disarray.
00:54:56And Miss Keaton was nowhere to be seen.
00:54:59What he did find, however, was this.
00:55:03Your card, Mr. Utterson.
00:55:06At the scene of the crime.
00:55:08Did you deny you were there?
00:55:10No, of course not.
00:55:13I left my card there when I went to visit her in the afternoon.
00:55:17Would this have been on a personal matter?
00:55:21I went to ask her about what she saw.
00:55:24And what did she tell you?
00:55:25The same thing she said when she was here.
00:55:28And you didn't encourage her to change her story at all?
00:55:32Pay her off?
00:55:33Threaten her?
00:55:34No, nothing like that.
00:55:37And this was in the afternoon, you say?
00:55:39Yes.
00:55:41Funny, that.
00:55:44Because a few of the girls down that way reported seeing a young gentleman matching your description.
00:55:49Approaching wheelbarrow way around ten o'clock last night.
00:55:54Which was roughly around the same time as the screaming was heard.
00:55:57Well, yes, I did go back there in the evening.
00:56:02And what was this visit in Adolf?
00:56:05To hear her tell the same story a third time?
00:56:10Or perhaps you've just enjoyed spending time in her company, eh?
00:56:13If I kidnapped Penny Keaton, where is she?
00:56:17What on earth am I supposed to have done with her?
00:56:20I wouldn't know, Mr. Utterson.
00:56:22Perhaps you threw her in the river.
00:56:25Or perhaps...
00:56:27You took her back to Henry Jekyll's place and burnt her in the furnace.
00:56:31Perhaps you were in it together from the start.
00:56:38I can see it now.
00:56:40The pair of you kidnapped the girls together for your own deviant purposes.
00:56:44And when Jekyll was caught in the act, you had two choices.
00:56:48You could let him take the fall for it.
00:56:52Or concoct some ludicrous scheme to place the blame on some unnamed third party.
00:57:00That third party has a name.
00:57:03Look.
00:57:06You took this from my safe this morning.
00:57:09It's Henry Jekyll's will.
00:57:11He wrote it recently and he bequeathed his entire estate to someone called Mr. Hyde.
00:57:16Shortly thereafter, Henry's dead in mysterious circumstances.
00:57:22Mr. Hyde?
00:57:24Who's he?
00:57:25I don't know.
00:57:26No one knows.
00:57:27But I bet he's the one orchestrating all of this in order to get his hands on the inheritance.
00:57:35I need you to get a message to Gabriel at the police station, Hattie.
00:57:39It's very important, so don't let them send you away.
00:57:41Yes.
00:57:42I'm taking a carriage to the Jekyll estate to try and speak to some of the staff.
00:57:47Gabriel wanted to go himself, but...
00:57:49Of course, ma'am.
00:57:54If I was involved in any sort of conspiracy, what would be the point in me kidnapping Penny Keaton?
00:58:01You're going around in circles, Inspector.
00:58:03Apparently, Mrs. Utterson wants you to know she's gone over to the Jekyll estate.
00:58:20What's all this about?
00:58:21I had the idea of going over there to speak with some of this staff.
00:58:27Obviously, she's gone on my behalf.
00:58:29She'll have a hard time speaking to anyone there.
00:58:32What?
00:58:33They've all gone.
00:58:35Cleared out late last night.
00:58:37You mean there's no one there at all?
00:58:39Inspector, you must let me go at once.
00:59:01My wife might be in danger.
00:59:02What do you mean?
00:59:04Five women are missing, or presumed dead.
00:59:07And as far as I'm concerned, the person responsible is still out there.
00:59:11There's no one there.
00:59:40If you don't return in 10 minutes, please hurry to Scotland Yard and ask for Inspector Luke.
01:00:10Sarah?
01:00:40Oh, my God.
01:01:10Mr. Hyde, I presume.
01:01:28Henry.
01:01:33You were right the first time.
01:01:37Not my real name, of course.
01:01:40But it seemed a suitable epithet for a man hidden away for half a century.
01:01:48What is all this?
01:01:49I would love to explain, Mr. Utterson. It's a very long story. I really must be on my way. I'll be in touch in due course to claim my inheritance.
01:02:04Your inheritance?
01:02:07All legal and above board. I trust Henry signed the will in your presence.
01:02:12You seem to be forgetting I have a pistol. And you seem to be forgetting. I have your wife.
01:02:23Acid, Mr. Utterson. This is my own special formula. I'm sure you've heard stories of branla fish in jungle rivers that constrict a man to the bone.
01:02:40In five minutes.
01:02:54In five minutes. And according to my experiments, this particular formulation can strip a woman to the bone in a minute flat.
01:03:06Your experience?
01:03:12We men of science all have our own special interests.
01:03:16The more my brother believed that acid was the cause of all the woes of the body, the more fascinated with its properties I became.
01:03:25You and Henry were brothers.
01:03:28Identical twins, as if you hadn't noticed. Identical in all but her fates.
01:03:37Our father was a scientist too. And with the arrival of twin boys came the opportunity to carry out his greatest scientific study ever.
01:03:52To answer the eternal question. Nature versus nature.
01:04:01What would happen if you took two identical boys?
01:04:07And raised one in light and freedom. And the other in darkness and captivity.
01:04:17A cruel and shameful exercise but once begun. Could never be disclosed.
01:04:26So, I remained hidden. Locked away. Out of sight.
01:04:36Did Henry know he had a brother?
01:04:38Of course he did. A matter of great shame to him all of his life.
01:04:45Not until our parents both died, did he come to me to beg for my forgiveness.
01:04:51My requests were quite straightforward. I would remain hidden. Out of sight. To protect his good reputation.
01:05:04What I wanted was a chance to carry out my own studies. My own laboratory down here.
01:05:12And the freedom to come and go as I pleased. Under cover of darkness, of course.
01:05:18And so, my experiments could begin.
01:05:30It began simply enough. Small rodents were enough to satisfy my curiosity.
01:05:35Mice and rats were easy to come by down here.
01:05:38It fascinated me to see their dirt and grime from their matted fur stripped instantly away by the initial dip into a mild acid bath.
01:05:48And then, in time, the fur itself fell away, exposing the raw pink skin underneath.
01:05:58And then slowly, slowly, like peeling away the layers of an onion, the creature would grow smaller and smaller.
01:06:08The skin, the muscle, the organs, and then finally, even the tiny bones dissolving.
01:06:15What's the good of that, you may ask?
01:06:21I see no good in it at all.
01:06:23Quite right.
01:06:25If one wishes to dispose of a rodent in more efficient ways.
01:06:32But if one wishes to be rid of a human...
01:06:36You mean Henry?
01:06:37It had occurred to me to be rid of Henry.
01:06:39To take his place.
01:06:42To live a life that I was entitled to, but had been denied me all these years.
01:06:50But to do that, there would have to be no trace left.
01:06:55None at all.
01:06:56None at all.
01:07:00It took several weeks, but finally it was ready.
01:07:03My life-size acid bath.
01:07:06Henry even paid for all the materials.
01:07:08Poor Sap had no idea.
01:07:11How to test it?
01:07:12At first, I thought of the staff.
01:07:15There were always young girls running about the property, fetching this or polishing that.
01:07:21I'd heard the sounds of their feet for years, and now I'd finally caught a glimpse of them.
01:07:26But Henry would have noticed if one went missing.
01:07:28In any case, I'd learnt over the years from newspaper stories that there was a different type of girl that was readily available if one knew where to look.
01:07:44The first came along with me easily enough.
01:07:47I'd taken to wearing clothes that belonged to Henry, and I fancy I looked quite the gentleman.
01:07:53The only difference between us was my walking game.
01:08:00Years of cramped conditions that weakened my limbs, and left me with a pronounced limp.
01:08:10I knew I would have to work on that.
01:08:15Of course, human flesh and bone differs quite distinctly from that of a rodent.
01:08:21So it was necessary to first run tests on small samples.
01:08:36The results were frankly disappointing.
01:08:39Even the most brittle finger bone from a girl is almost ten times the diameter of the largest rat bone.
01:08:45Several hours later, the remains were still recognisably human.
01:08:54What became of the girl?
01:08:56She bled out.
01:08:59Died.
01:09:02Made rather a mess.
01:09:05So into the bath she went.
01:09:07I knew the formula would do its job over the next few days.
01:09:15So there's how I went.
01:09:17Every day, a new test subject.
01:09:20Until I was satisfied with the acid.
01:09:23Test subjects? These were human beings.
01:09:27What am I if not a test subject?
01:09:29Am I not a human being?
01:09:32I treat others as others have treated me.
01:09:37No better.
01:09:39No worse.
01:09:40No worse.
01:09:47And then disaster is true.
01:09:49The fifth is something.
01:09:53This girl was smarter than the others.
01:09:56Less impressed by my suit and silver cane.
01:09:59She wouldn't come.
01:10:00And when I took hold of her arm, she cried out.
01:10:04I did what I had to do.
01:10:09I struggled with my cane.
01:10:13Once, twice, and still she cried out, so I rained down a dozen blows till her brain was more out than in.
01:10:20As I looked up from her body, I saw the face of another girl looking at mine.
01:10:30Annie Keaton.
01:10:32What's that her name?
01:10:35A girl from Room 5A.
01:10:38Why didn't you hide your face?
01:10:40Well, it occurred to me, there and then, that it was not my face that had been seen.
01:10:45For intents and purposes, it was Henry's.
01:10:51So my plans changed.
01:10:54I realized that Henry was more valuable to me alive than dead.
01:10:58For any questionable act that I may be called doing, henceforth could be blamed on him.
01:11:04Then why did you shoot him?
01:11:07You're racing ahead of yourself, Mr. Utterson.
01:11:09That night, he was away from the house, visiting you.
01:11:15I had written a will and given it to him to sign your presence.
01:11:20But as misfortune would have it, he returned to the house at the same time.
01:11:27And he saw my cane, caked in blood.
01:11:30There was no denying the evidence, so I told him everything about my experiments.
01:11:39He was incensed, even drawing the pistol that had once belonged to our father.
01:11:44But he lacked the fortitude to pull the trigger.
01:11:50We both knew that.
01:11:52And so, his final act of cowardice was to turn the pistol on himself.
01:11:57Filled as he was with the guilt of what he had unleashed upon the world by setting me free.
01:12:01So, in answer to your question, Mr. Utterson, I did not shoot my brother.
01:12:15It was suicide, plain and simple.
01:12:18It was just the matter of the witness to my crime unresolved.
01:12:23Henry had to take the blame.
01:12:26Of course, I was well aware of Henry's reputation as a do-gooder.
01:12:34If he were to commit a crime such as murder, there had to be a plausible reason.
01:12:39And so, I hit upon the idea of an experiment.
01:12:44Some complex formula that, when drunk, brought about an utter transformation of character.
01:12:50That turned Jekyll into Hyde.
01:12:53And so, Henry's confession was born.
01:12:58It was then just a case of firing another shot from the pistol into the floorboards
01:13:02to alert the police before quickly making my escape downstairs.
01:13:14What is it you want?
01:13:16First, put the pistol down.
01:13:17First, put the pistol down in here.
01:13:20Very well.
01:13:28I walk up those stairs and out of this building.
01:13:32The lady and I are going on a little trip up north.
01:13:36I'll contact you regarding the sale of the estate and the transfer of funds.
01:13:46And when I'm satisfied, I will consider the matter of returning your wife to you.
01:13:53How can you expect me to agree to that?
01:13:56Do you not trust the word of a gentleman?
01:13:58Your brother was a gentleman.
01:14:02There's another word I can think of for you.
01:14:06What do you mean?
01:14:07Henry Jekyll was a man who garnered respect.
01:14:12I can only pity you.
01:14:15You may share his face, but you will never match his achievements.
01:14:20Achievements.
01:14:22Achievements.
01:14:24Maybe you'd like to taste my achievements.
01:14:26There's a little glimpse of what's to come if you defy me.
01:14:29No.
01:14:32A little splash in the face.
01:14:35A constant reminder of your greatest mistake.
01:14:38Don't do it.
01:14:40It's already done.
01:14:45No!
01:14:46Daniel!
01:14:49Daniel!
01:14:51Ah!
01:14:52Ah!
01:14:54Ah!
01:14:59Ah!
01:15:03Ah!
01:15:07Ah!
01:15:09Ah!
01:15:11Ah!
01:15:13Ah!
01:15:14Ah!
01:15:15Ah!
01:15:16Ah!
01:15:17Ah!
01:15:18Ah!
01:15:19Ah!
01:15:20Ah!
01:15:26Ah!
01:15:28Ah!
01:15:29I never knew you could punch that.
01:15:31Ah!
01:15:37Ah!
01:15:39Ah!
01:15:40Ah!
01:15:41Ah!
01:15:42Ah!
01:15:43Is he gone?
01:15:52I think he's gone.
01:16:13Thank you very much for your statement, Mr. Utterson.
01:16:35How's your wife holding up, if you don't mind my asking?
01:16:38She's recovering well, thank you.
01:16:40I must say, she's surprisingly resilient.
01:16:44And packs quite a right hook, apparently.
01:16:48I know it all sounds outrageous, Inspector, but that's what happened, I swear.
01:16:53You saw the basement?
01:16:54I saw her basement, yes, with a modest laboratory set up.
01:17:00Might easily have belonged to Henry Jekyll.
01:17:02But the vat of acid?
01:17:04Yes, well, you drained that.
01:17:07With some difficulty, I might add.
01:17:09Did you find any bodies?
01:17:11We found some...
01:17:13sludge.
01:17:16Which may or may not have been organic in origin.
01:17:21Frankly, it could have been anything.
01:17:24The long and the short of it is,
01:17:26there's no real evidence this Mr. Hyde of yours existed at all.
01:17:30So where does that leave Henry?
01:17:36Well, I'm not convinced of his innocence, if that's what you mean.
01:17:40But I think that, providing there are no more mysterious disappearances,
01:17:47we can declare the matter to be closed.
01:17:49Well, there's not exactly a not guilty verdict.
01:17:54I told you, there was never going to be any trial.
01:17:57Just be thankful I won't be going to the press with any of this nonsense.
01:18:02Got my own reputation to think of.
01:18:04And the mice look under suspicion of what happened to Penny Keaton.
01:18:07As luck would have it.
01:18:09I had a visit this morning from a young gentleman
01:18:11who was prepared to make a statement on the condition of strict anonymity.
01:18:17Seems he was present at Miss Keaton's kidnapping.
01:18:21He didn't see much,
01:18:23but he saw enough to be quite certain it wasn't you.
01:18:26Well, how can you be sure?
01:18:28Is it someone who knows me?
01:18:30I couldn't say, Mr. Rutherson.
01:18:31What are you so down about?
01:18:36You got what you wanted.
01:18:38Not to mention the matter of the inheritance.
01:18:42What?
01:18:43The inheritance?
01:18:46You did read this will, I take it?
01:18:51Mr. Hyde is to present himself in a timely manner
01:18:55to receive said possessions.
01:18:58Should he fail to do so,
01:18:59the entire estate is to be distributed by my solicitor,
01:19:05Gabriel Utterson,
01:19:06in whichever way he sees fit.
01:19:12Now, if we'd have believed that what's left of Mr. Hyde
01:19:16currently resides at the bottom of my constable's bucket,
01:19:20that potentially
01:19:21makes you a very wealthy man, Mr. Utterson.
01:19:25Oh, Hattie.
01:19:54Is Sarah up?
01:19:57She's still resting.
01:19:58I thought it best to leave her be.
01:20:00Yes.
01:20:01Yes, quite right.
01:20:07Hattie?
01:20:09Um, would you mind please taking this to the kitchen
01:20:12and seeing if we have the ingredients
01:20:14for one of Dr. Jekyll's preparations?
01:20:17Of course.
01:20:19What was that?
01:20:20It was in the book.
01:20:25It was in the book.
01:20:25Dear Gabriel,
01:20:33I suspect it may be some time
01:20:35before your digestive discomfort
01:20:37or possibly your dear wife Sarah
01:20:39forces you to pick up the book
01:20:41that I left with you.
01:20:43And so when you read this,
01:20:45it is likely
01:20:45that much will have come to pass
01:20:48that you will have found greatly surprising.
01:20:50As you probably know,
01:20:54I have a brother named Edward.
01:20:56His has been a most unfortunate life
01:20:59and I hope that in time
01:21:01you will look upon him
01:21:03as an equal to me,
01:21:04as both a scientist
01:21:05and a friend.
01:21:08For now,
01:21:09I know he looks upon the world
01:21:11with suspicion and anger
01:21:12as well anyone might do
01:21:14in his position.
01:21:14Please assure him
01:21:17there is still much good
01:21:19in this world.
01:21:21I don't think he knows.
01:21:23I can think of no one
01:21:24better suited to this task
01:21:26than you.
01:21:28Your friend,
01:21:30Henry.
01:21:34You know,
01:21:36a place like this
01:21:37needs a lot of maintaining.
01:21:39I know.
01:21:40It's almost certainly
01:21:41beyond my capability to make.
01:21:44It's why I sold it.
01:21:48You what?
01:21:49Sold it.
01:21:50Sold the lot.
01:21:51The building,
01:21:52the grounds,
01:21:53even the laboratory equipment.
01:21:58But Henry...
01:21:59Oh, Henry wouldn't have minded.
01:22:01He always hated the place.
01:22:04He always said
01:22:04the ultimately bad memory stream.
01:22:07Now I know why.
01:22:11So,
01:22:12how much did you sell it for?
01:22:14Hmph.
01:22:16Well,
01:22:17let's just say
01:22:20enough to
01:22:21fund a fully stocked
01:22:23medical bay
01:22:23in every poor house
01:22:25in London
01:22:25in the name of
01:22:27Dr. Henry Jekyll.
01:22:33That sounds like
01:22:34exactly what he would have wanted.
01:22:35With just enough
01:22:42left over
01:22:43to cover the cost
01:22:44of
01:22:45an honest
01:22:46law firm
01:22:46with its own opposites
01:22:48in the name of
