  • [sirens approaching]

  • Home early sir.

  • Something came up.

  • I'll be happy to pick up dinner.

  • I was just on my way out

  • Under the weather again, sir?

  • Mrs. Poole, this work I've

  • been doing you know how

  • important it is to me.

  • Don't wish to be disturbed, of course.

  • I'll see to it that you have complete privacy

  • in the laboratory, as usual.

  • [low whirring]

  • [electronic beeping]

  • [keypad beeps]

  • [electronic beeping]

  • [man] I keep bragging about

  • our number one neurologist.

  • [Jekyll] I know, I know. I'm sorry.

  • And then you don't even show

  • at the resident's orientation.

  • I'll make it up to you. I'll accept all your invitations

  • to boring dinner parties for an entire year.

  • It's this outside research

  • project your working on, isn't it?

  • How's it coming?

  • I'm not sure.

  • Well, whatever it is, you know I encourage it.

  • It's good for the hospital.

  • But I also need you to fulfill your duties here.

  • [garbled hospital page]

  • Argh!

  • [moaning]

  • Aaah!

  • [loud moaning]

  • Mrs. Goldstein's asking for you again.

  • She, uh refuses to be examined by anyone else.

  • Dr. Jekyll?

  • Oh! Uh, tell Mrs. Goldstein

  • I'll be there as soon as I can.

  • Well, look at you.

  • You look like you haven't slept in a week.

  • How ya been?

  • Uh, just some coffee, please.

  • Black. And some aspirin if you have any.

  • Glad you called, Gabe.

  • Oh, yeah?

  • To tell you the truth, I've been worried about you.

  • What are you up to?

  • I've just been caught up in a pet project.

  • What's her name?

  • So, how's the gallery these days?

  • Wonderful. A headache.

  • You know, the way it should be

  • with the opening tonight.

  • The opening?

  • Yeah. You got the invitation, didn't you?

  • No, no, I'm sure I did.

  • Okay, well,

  • just to be sure.

  • In Emily's memory.

  • Yeah. Her last series of work.

  • She would want you there.

  • Well, I, I wouldn't miss it for the world.

  • [woman on TV] ...a young woman found

  • stabbed last night.

  • Now police have yet to release

  • any details, but many fear it's

  • the latest in a series of

  • brutal murders that have gripped the city.

  • We have a reporter on the scene now,

  • we go live to his location.

  • He's been out there two months.

  • What kind of monster would do this?

  • I'll be right back.

  • [vomits]

  • [street noise]

  • [background chatter]

  • Emily called that,

  • "Lonely Woman".

  • Toward the end...

  • when she woke up you were always there.

  • Always there to take care of her.

  • She's still here.

  • I can feel her everywhere.

  • I ought to go.

  • Oh no, no, no, no.

  • You stay here. I'll get you a drink.

  • Enjoy yourself.

  • Hey!

  • Hey.

  • You enjoying the show?

  • Yes.

  • Good. Listen, I've got

  • a friend I'd like you to meet.

  • I've locked the exterior door.

  • When should I--

  • Not until morning.

  • Even if I beg.

  • Of course. I understand.

  • [electronic beeping]

  • No!

  • [groaning]

  • [groaning, crying]

  • [groaning continues]

  • [loud crash]

  • [street noise]

  • [screams, groans]

  • Get off! Ugh!

  • [screams]

  • [gasps, choking]

  • Nice crib, mister!

  • [boy] Just move in?

  • [starts engine]

  • [Gabe] Henry, where were

  • you last night?

  • Lost.

  • What are you doing right now?

  • Well, I'm just on my way to see an artist.

  • What's-- what's going on?

  • [heavy sigh] Gabe.

  • I..I'm in trouble. I-- I, um,

  • I need your help.

  • Well, it's, it's a legal matter.

  • It's, it's complicated.

  • Don't you have your own lawyer?

  • Oh, he'd ask too many questions.

  • I'm having trouble following you, Henry.

  • All your contacts-- you seem to know everyone.

  • I was hoping that you might refer me to, to--

  • To another lawyer.

  • Well, one who's discreet. Whom I can trust.

  • Who can get things done quickly.

  • How worried should I be?

  • Please. Just do this for me.

  • Well, actually I do know someone.

  • [woman] Don't worry about the appeal,

  • or the filing costs.

  • We'll just figure that out later

  • so I'll call you tomorrow.

  • Hi. Hi.

  • Ah, sorry about the wait.

  • I, uh-- you must be--

  • Henry Jekyll.

  • Claire Wheaton.

  • Nice-- nice to meet you.

  • Please. Come in.

  • Uh...

  • I'd like to tell you it's not always like this, but--

  • I appreciate your meeting with me on such short notice.

  • Oh well, Gabe's a great

  • guy, though I am a little surprised.

  • As you can see you're not my usual clientele.

  • Please, sit. Oh, that's the least

  • of my worries.

  • He made it sound urgent.

  • It is.

  • Well, then how can I help you, Doctor?

  • That-- that girl they found

  • strangled two days ago.

  • This belonged to her.

  • How did you--?

  • Well, apparently I took it as a souvenir.

  • I'm sorry, I don't--

  • After I--

  • the others too--

  • I'm the one who's responsible.

  • That's not funny.

  • I want to plead guilty. I want to waive trial.

  • And I want to be sentenced as quickly as possible.

  • Hold on, wait a minute.

  • You're-- you're a dear friend of Gabe's, right?

  • You are a respected physician

  • and you're telling me--

  • Can you help me or not?

  • Look, I'm not the best person for this.

  • Some one with more experience,

  • who specializes in criminal defense,

  • that's who you should be talking to.

  • No. No, no, no. Gabe, he told me to come here.

  • He wouldn't have sent me here

  • if you weren't the right person.

  • Look, even if I believed you.

  • It-- you just can't.

  • It, um, just isn't done this way.

  • Why?

  • For one thing,

  • most people who confess to such horrendous

  • crimes didn't do it.

  • Do you know that six people are dead?

  • And I'm telling you that I'm the one who did it.

  • What could be gained?

  • What could be gained by

  • discussing options except to try

  • and find some technicality

  • to try and get me off?

  • Look, obviously I don't have expertise in this area,

  • but there could be mitigating circumstances.

  • I'm not looking for a deal!

  • This could mean the difference between a life

  • sentence and a death penalty.

  • This was a mistake.

  • Look, I can give you the name

  • of someone, uh, backed up by an

  • excellent firm with the clout

  • and resources to handle

  • something like this.

  • Thank you for your time.

  • [birds chirping]

  • Ow. [groaning]

  • God, no, no, no, no, no.

  • Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

  • Shut up!

  • [horn honks]

  • [woman screams, tires screech]

  • [Hyde laughs]

  • What are you, crazy?

  • [crowd murmurs]

  • This'll help you sleep, Mr. Lanyon.

  • I'll be back to check on you in a little while.

  • Do you remember me?

  • [EKG beeps steady]

  • I know. I'm unforgettable.

  • Don't take it personally.

  • You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  • Let me tell you how it's going to feel.

  • First there'll be a wave of

  • panic when I turn off the

  • machine measuring your vital signs.

  • [EKG flat line tone]

  • Then when I cut the IV supply

  • your blood pressure will drop and you might even feel

  • a metallic taste in your mouth.

  • Aren't you surprised that I know all this?

  • Which brings us to the ventilator.

  • Now, when I've disabled it,

  • you...

  • well, it's hard to describe, so why don't I just show you.

  • [air hisses]

  • [choking]

  • [flat line tone]

  • Yes?

  • Hi. I'm here to see Dr. Jekyll.

  • I'm afraid he's not in.

  • Uh, do you happen to know where he is?

  • He's not at work.

  • If you would like to leave your name,

  • I'll be happy to give him a message.

  • Please. Let him know I was here.

  • It concerns a matter he came

  • to see me about yesterday.

  • Tell him I think I can help.

  • Thank you.

  • Wait.

  • Come in.

  • Please wait here. Thank you.

  • What are you doing?

  • I was just, um--

  • He said to go away.

  • You'll have to leave.

  • Okay. Sorry.

  • [door creaks]

  • [sniffles]

  • [sobbing]

  • We'll do it your way.

  • Thank you.

  • I would still have to know what happened.

  • You wouldn't believe me.

  • A Harvard-educated physician,

  • who saves lives by day and takes them by night.

  • How much more difficult to believe could it be?

  • May I...

  • may I ask you a personal question?

  • I'd prefer to talk about you.

  • If you were forced to choose,

  • would you call yourself good or evil?

  • Good, I guess.

  • Yet you've had evil thoughts.

  • Occasionally acted on them.

  • Huh?

  • Haven't we all?

  • Well, you see it's something

  • that I've always been fascinated

  • with ever since I can remember.

  • That how, on an intrinsic level

  • it seems that we have two

  • distinct selves within us.

  • One good and one bad.

  • Each struggling for control.

  • And as a doctor I-- I wonder

  • could it be the key to

  • understanding the very nature of

  • health and illness.

  • Well, for years it was, it was just a private theory.

  • One I kept strictly to myself

  • but, then a year ago something

  • amazing happened that changed all that.

  • As if it were meant to be.

  • I was in the Amazon.

  • Deep in the rainforest.

  • Treating remote tribes.

  • And came across a shaman who

  • worshiped a rare flower.

  • He believed it caused the soul

  • to separate, allowing the dark

  • self to escape so that the light self can heal.

  • It was like nothing I'd ever seen before.

  • Later, I took a blood sample

  • from the shaman and tested it.

  • Even his genetic makeup had changed.

  • I had to find the flower.

  • I'd finally succeeded in

  • isolating its psychotropic properties.

  • [gags]

  • A catalyst to trigger the effect.

  • The question was what?

  • For months it was all I could think about.

  • A blinding obsession.

  • The more I searched for the answer,

  • the more out of reach it seemed.

  • Then just as I was about to quit...

  • Edward Hyde.

  • That's what he calls himself.

  • He even has a name?

  • At first only taking the serum would make him emerge

  • and I could control him and the experiment.

  • But then he became more violent,

  • stronger and he began appearing at will.

  • How often?

  • Oh, every week or two in the beginning.

  • Always at night.

  • And then?

  • With increasing frequency

  • the more I tried to suppress him

  • which may have triggered his urge to kill.

  • I see.

  • You don't believe me.

  • You think I'm making this up?

  • If I'm going to be your lawyer it doesn't matter what

  • I personally believe.

  • I'll prepare a statement of facts.

  • Then we'll arrange for you

  • to turn yourself in.

  • We'll have you committed for

  • twenty-four hours.

  • Committed?

  • A psychiatric ward.

  • I'm afraid something might happen again.

  • Yeah, it's just awful about Mr. Lanyon.

  • We have no idea if and when he'll be back.

  • You said he had a heart attack?

  • About a week ago. Um, that's him right there.

  • Uh, okay, here it is.

  • 212 Battery St. apartment 4F.

  • It-- it says it, uh, it was leased to Edward Hyde,

  • but it was paid for by Henry Jekyll.

  • Why is that?

  • Sorry, I'm just a temp.

  • I don't suppose you, uh, have an extra key.

  • To his place.

  • Gosh, I don't know if I can--

  • No, it's, it's okay, I'm um,

  • Henry Jekyll's attorney.

  • I guess it's okay.

  • I think they keep the keys in the back.

  • How could you send him to me?

  • Why? What's he done?

  • You say you know him so well, how well?

  • I've know him for many years.

  • He treated my wife's tumor.

  • What about mental illness?

  • Any history that you know of?

  • As far as I know. No.

  • Drug abuse? Delusions?

  • Abnormal behavior of any kind?

  • Claire...

  • Henry is the most peaceful person I know.

  • Well, then he's covering up for someone.

  • Ever heard of a person named Edward Hyde?

  • Who?

  • Never mind.

  • You're busy. I've taken enough of your time.

  • But you are going to help him, aren't you?

  • I don't know.

  • I'm not sure I want to get involved.

  • [Hyde] Did you miss me?

  • I mean, what a way to treat a dear friend.

  • First, locks on the door.

  • Then a loony bin.

  • It can't be.

  • You're so ungrateful!

  • To be given the freedom to

  • experience the darkest thrills

  • of the human soul without anyone suspecting!

  • You're not real.

  • Oh well, you see, you're wrong.

  • You're lucky I still need

  • you around or you would have

  • been gone a long time ago.

  • What do you want?

  • For you to stop being a baby.

  • Suck it up!

  • Realize that only by accepting me

  • can you finally accept yourself.

  • I'm not you.

  • Oh no?

  • I'm a good man.

  • Boring.

  • That's why you're here.

  • You are all in my head, testing myself.

  • Just think of all the good

  • times that we had.

  • Do you remember our first kill?

  • That, that moment of surrender.

  • It was so sweet.

  • I can take control.

  • [laughs]

  • You can't even tell that lawyer girlfriend

  • of yours what you think you

  • want to do to her because you can't.

  • Stop it!

  • Make me.

  • No more!

  • [gasps]

  • [distant screaming]

  • [man] Hey! Are you okay?

  • [clattering]

  • [low TV broadcast]

  • Yeah....Is your door locked?

  • [screaming on TV]

  • [panting]

  • [gasping]

  • [yelling, screaming]

  • [Hyde yells]

  • [man] Still coming up empty.

  • DNA?

  • Doesn't match anything in our databanks.

  • Prints?

  • Deformed like the others.

  • Maybe cuts the skin off his fingertips.

  • And nothing yet on that area

  • we searched? Wonderful.

  • I think we've got something.

  • An earring was found matching one the last victim was wearing.

  • Where? In an alley behind an

  • apartment building on Battery.

  • Anyone talk to the tenants?

  • This could be a coincidence, but a lady

  • on the fourth floor says she

  • saw a woman running from an apartment

  • last night, looking scared.

  • Do we have an apartment number?

  • Getting a search warrant as we speak.

  • Good.

  • [phone rings]

  • Hi. You've reached the office of Claire Wheaton.

  • Please leave me a message after the tone.

  • I, um, I need a favor.

  • What happened to you, Henry?

  • You look terrible.

  • I, uh--

  • Um, here.

  • What's this?

  • If anything should happen to me,

  • I, I want you to open it,

  • but only then.

  • Everything that you need to do is inside.

  • What kind of trouble are you in?

  • I need to make sure that

  • doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

  • Henry?

  • No questions. No questions.

  • I have no idea what's going on with you.

  • You just-- Please.

  • Please.

  • You can't just walk in here-- Please?

  • Please just...

  • promise me,

  • promise me that you will do this for me.

  • Yes.

  • [Jekyll] Oh, what happened?

  • Mr. Hyde was here again last night.

  • After you left I left him

  • alone as you instructed.

  • Well, he's unwell.

  • We shouldn't provoke him.

  • The police called.

  • The police?

  • They had some questions about

  • the apartment that you rent for your cousin.

  • And what did you tell them?

  • Nothing.

  • It's strange that two people

  • from the same family can be so different.

  • I'm sorry.

  • [electronic beeping]

  • Yes!

  • [approaching footsteps]

  • [man] Police! Freeze!

  • Hold it right there!

  • Henry Jekyll? Police.

  • We have a warrant for your arrest.

  • Put that down.

  • [Claire] If you had stayed there

  • like you promised--

  • It wasn't like I had a choice.

  • Oh, and what am I supposed to believe

  • that it was this other person who escaped, not you?

  • Hyde. I told you his name is Hyde.

  • And Hyde knows I'm helping

  • you which is why he attacked me last night.

  • What?

  • After I found his place I saw

  • all the things he took from you.

  • So who is he?

  • Why are you protecting him?

  • Claire, you're in danger.

  • Why do you keep pretending with me?

  • Before it was random, now

  • he's doing everything that he

  • can to stay alive.

  • I can't help you this way.

  • I can feel him, I can feel him.

  • Did you hear me?

  • As long as I'm alive even prison

  • won't be enough to stop him.

  • I need the antidote.

  • What?

  • The one I've been working on.

  • I finally figured it out just

  • before the police arrested me.

  • By antidote you mean--

  • It's in my lab. In a syringe.

  • You have to help me, Claire.

  • It's my only hope.

  • Is it just me you're trying to convince

  • or do you have some other plan I don't know about?

  • You still don't believe me?

  • It's getting harder and harder.

  • Changing into another person

  • was not a metaphor!

  • How can you possibly know

  • what it's like to feel someone

  • else inside of you!

  • He disgusts me! He defiles me!

  • Let's start over, okay?

  • Why don't we pretend that you

  • just walked into my office?

  • What?

  • Plead guilty. Waive trial.

  • Be sentenced as quickly as possible.

  • I'm going to honor your request.

  • Fine.

  • Anything else?

  • No.

  • Then I'll see you at the plea hearing tomorrow.

  • [distant sirens]

  • So what are we looking for?

  • Right here.

  • This is where Hyde attacked me.

  • Oh my God, Claire.

  • If I could only find him.

  • This is enough!

  • You get off this case!

  • I'm not getting off this case.

  • Look, I know I referred him to you, but whatever this is,

  • if anything happens to you.

  • Wait a minute.

  • Maybe we're being watched.

  • Security is tight surrounding

  • the trial and as you can see-- We are standing by here live

  • just outside the courthouse

  • and the overall feeling here today

  • is one of relief, relief that--

  • While many people here remain shocked that such

  • a distinguished doctor and respected member

  • of the community could have committed

  • such a heinous crimes.

  • All rise!

  • Please be seated.

  • Mr. Mendez.

  • Your honor.

  • Is the defense ready?

  • Yes, your honor.

  • Very well.

  • Regarding the defendant's plea--

  • Your honor, if I may, I'd like to move for a continuance.

  • On what grounds?

  • New evidence which might have

  • a bearing on my client's plea.

  • What are you doing?

  • Objection! Your honor anything relevant to this case

  • should have been handed over to us prior to this hearing.

  • I found out about it last night.

  • And I'm supposed to believe that?

  • Well, regarding this new evidence counselor, you'll share

  • it with the district attorney immediately.

  • Then be prepared to enter a plea

  • first thing in the morning.

  • Court is adjourned until then.

  • To plead guilty.

  • That's all I wanted.

  • [Mendez] Well, that's it?

  • This is a guy in a hood.

  • So what?

  • What if he's actually the one

  • that killed all these people?

  • Oh, for God's sake Wheaton,

  • your client signed a full confession.

  • We found blood from three of the victim's in his house.

  • To say nothing of the DNA evidence

  • linking him to every one of the crime scenes.

  • C'mon! Well, there's someone

  • else involved

  • and his name is Edward Hyde.

  • There is no Edward Hyde.

  • And you know it.

  • Look, I know that you suckered me into this delay,

  • but you're going to have to do way better

  • than this "Hail Mary"

  • you pulled off of some grainy skid row security camera.

  • Listen, given the bizarre

  • elements of the case, I think we

  • both know I could make an

  • insanity defense stick.

  • What do you want?

  • To bring this guy in.

  • If it turns out to be nothing

  • my client will plead guilty across the board.

  • No conditions.

  • You have my word.

  • [woman] His name is Walter Swain.

  • He's a crackhead.

  • Not exactly what you'd call reliable.

  • But he recognized Hyde from the security cam picture.

  • Sorta, possibly, maybe.

  • That's the best we could get out of him.

  • All right. Cut him loose.

  • What? You can't hold him?

  • On what charge?

  • Well, at least let me ask him a few questions.

  • No, I think we pursued this avenue sufficiently.

  • You remember the deal.

  • Now if you'll excuse me I have

  • a plea hearing to reschedule.

  • Mmm-hmm.

  • Unbelievable.

  • Excuse me! Excuse me!

  • What now? Haven't you people

  • harassed me enough already?

  • I'm not the police. I'm an attorney.

  • Well, whatever you're selling, I'm not interested.

  • It's about Edward Hyde.

  • So you do know him.

  • Yeah, from a bar I think.

  • We talked once. That's 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 didn't say why.

  • He said he was going to lay low for awhile.

  • Do you know where he is?

  • Someplace safe.

  • That's all he said.

  • Anyway, I gotta go.

  • If he contacts you or if you

  • remember anything else, call me.

  • Look, I already told you everything.

  • Just in case.

  • So we have a problem?

  • Don't worry. You've got your plea.

  • It's your client.

  • Dr. Innocent?

  • Just slit his wrists.

  • [dialing]

  • [phone rings out]

  • [dialing]

  • [phone rings out]

  • [dialing]

  • [phone rings]

  • Who is it?

  • Yesterday, at the police station,

  • you gave me your card.

  • What do you want?

  • Well, uh, you-- you get me

  • out of this place and I'll get you something

  • on what's his name.

  • Hyde.

  • Yeah, exactly.

  • I'm listening.

  • It's about his landlord.

  • According to Hyde,

  • dude saw something

  • he wasn't supposed to see.

  • What?

  • No idea.

  • All he said was he didn't have

  • to do much, the guy just like keeled over.

  • Like a heart attack?

  • I didn't ask, but, uh,

  • let's just say I wasn't feeling the love.

  • This landlord,

  • his name wasn't Lanyon, was it?

  • How the hell should I know?

  • Listen to me, I can get you

  • out of whatever mess you got

  • yourself into, but you're

  • going to have to help me.

  • Do we have a deal?

  • Deal.

  • Mrs. Lanyon?

  • Yes? Claire Wheaton.

  • I just want to say how sorry I am.

  • Thank you. Thank you.

  • Did you know my husband?

  • Not very well.

  • No. Okay.

  • It just seems so sudden.

  • Yeah.

  • Do you mind me asking

  • just what happened?

  • Complications from a heart attack.

  • I heard he had heart problems.

  • I just wonder what set 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, hypnotic.

  • 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.

  • Thank you.

  • [door buzzes]

  • Can we have some privacy, please?

  • I've requested that you be taken off the case.

  • Listen...

  • I made a mistake.

  • Please just give me a second chance, please.

  • I'm begging you.

  • I know that you were telling me the truth.

  • I don't care anymore.

  • It's 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 can't be blamed.

  • Who cares?

  • I care.

  • Regardless of whatever guilt you

  • feel, you're innocent.

  • Hyde did it.

  • It's like you said,

  • he's a different person, body and soul.

  • Well it's too late.

  • The only way that I can get rid

  • of him is by dying

  • and I just want to die.

  • [gasps]

  • Do you remember me?

  • I know, I'm unforgettable.

  • Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

  • [whines]

  • Oh, it's you.

  • Why?

  • Why did you do this to me?

  • He wanted me.

  • Don't take me away from him.

  • I liked you, Claire.

  • I liked you very much.

  • Henry.

  • Henry, please.

  • [gasps]

  • Are you okay?

  • I'm okay.

  • [reporter] ...we've all been waiting for

  • where Dr. Jekyll is expected to enter his plea.

  • Will it be guilty or not guilty?

  • [handcuffs clicking]

  • Thank you.

  • How do you feel?

  • I feel great.

  • Did he come back?

  • No.

  • No, he's, uh, he's gone.

  • Can I trust you?

  • Well, I've-- I've always told you the truth.

  • You're going to have to trust me now.

  • [Judge Sheehan] Will the defendant

  • please rise?

  • To each of the six charges of

  • first degree murder,

  • how do you plead?

  • Not guilty, your Honor.

  • [courtroom murmurs]

  • Order.

  • Order in the court! Order!

  • Insanity defense? Good luck.

  • Who said anything about insanity?

  • [Mendez] So Doctor, how would you

  • define dissociative identity disorder?

  • It's a condition where a single individual evidences

  • two or more distinct personalities.

  • Each with it's own patterns

  • of perceiving and interacting with the environment.

  • Now in your own professional experience,

  • do patients ever pretend to suffer from this condition?

  • Yes, usually within a legal context

  • as part of an insanity defense.

  • One of the problems with diagnosing D.I.D. is that

  • there is no way to objectively

  • prove that the condition exists.

  • No objective way of proving it exists.

  • So if I get this right, Doctor,

  • then this Mr. Hyde, of whom I might add we have absolutely

  • no record, not even a Social Security Number,

  • he could be a complete

  • and total fabrication of Dr. Jekyll's.

  • Yes.

  • [Claire] So Mr. Swain, how many times

  • did you see Mr. Hyde?

  • Well, we hung out in bars and stuff.

  • So you could identify Mr. Hyde if you ever saw him again?

  • Yeah, sure.

  • Have you ever seen the defendant, Dr. Jekyll?

  • Uh, no.

  • Could he be mistaken for Mr. Hyde?

  • Yeah, it's funny, yeah.

  • I guess he could.

  • But uh, he's nothing like the guy I'm talking about.

  • You see his eyes once and,

  • well, you're never going to forget 'em.

  • So this Mr. Hyde, he exists.

  • Yeah! He's for real.

  • Were you under the influence,

  • Mr. Swain, when you supposedly

  • saw this supposed Mr. Hyde?

  • Yeah-- no, uh,

  • uh, maybe.

  • Yeah, no, maybe.

  • Okay.

  • Thank you 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 meet Mr. Hyde?

  • Yes.

  • Once.

  • Just an evil person.

  • I could see it in his face.

  • I knew

  • that he was there to harm my...

  • ... Dr. Jekyll.

  • There was nothing I could do.

  • [man] We recovered DNA 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 defendant.

  • [Mendez] All of them?

  • And what are the odds, Mr. Fowler, that--

  • that these markers could belong to

  • someone, anyone, other than the defendant?

  • Approximately one hundred and seventy million to one.

  • Really?

  • [Gabe] It's what he's devoted to.

  • Preserving lives, not taking them.

  • And you know this because?

  • He did everything in his power

  • to save my wife.

  • She didn't have much hope,

  • maybe six months to live.

  • Then he helped her die with

  • grace and dignity.

  • And it was more than just doctor skills,

  • it was his compassion.

  • She trusted him right till the end.

  • Henry Jekyll, the Henry Jekyll I know

  • could never do these horrible things.

  • Well, this deal they offered.

  • How bad?

  • Guilty, by reason of insanity

  • in exchange for twenty to life without parole.

  • Or take your chances with the jury.

  • Which I can feel I'm losing

  • and risk a death sentence.

  • What does Henry say?

  • Only that he trusts me.

  • So what do I do?

  • What do your instincts tell you?

  • My instincts have been wrong before.

  • Look, whatever you decide,

  • don't give up on Henry.

  • I'd like to call my client to the stand.

  • [shocked murmur]

  • Dr. Jekyll, why did you

  • confess to crimes you never committed?

  • The experiments that I carry out

  • for my research involve

  • ingestion of psycho-tropic substances.

  • They provoke extreme reactions.

  • Psychological and physical.

  • I had a moment of doubt I might

  • have been the one responsible

  • for these heinous crimes.

  • So am I to understand

  • that you had a moment of confusion?

  • Yes.

  • Dr. Jekyll, do you know Mr. Hyde?

  • Yes.

  • I do know Mr. Hyde.

  • How would you describe him?

  • To me,

  • Mr. Hyde is an enigma.

  • I, I don't know how he found me

  • or why he ever came to my home.

  • I, I don't think I'll ever

  • really understand, but what I do

  • know is that when I emerged from

  • this very uncomfortable journey

  • I was accused of murders that he

  • seemed to have committed.

  • Thank you.

  • No further questions.

  • [bells chime]

  • After all the twists and turns

  • this trial has taken the

  • outcome at this point seems to be quite uncertain.

  • We'll have to wait and see whether the defense or the

  • prosecution has any more tricks up their sleeves.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you, Claire.

  • Ah, listen don't thank me yet.

  • It's, uh-- it's not over.

  • Oh, it doesn't matter.

  • I'm free from him.

  • It's what I wanted.

  • Whatever happens now can't change that.

  • Good, because I'm not finished yet.

  • [Claire] Your honor, we'd like to

  • recall the State's DNA expert,

  • Mr. Fowler.

  • Mr. Fowler isn't it true there

  • are sections of human DNA that

  • are unique to each individual?

  • They're called polymorphic fragments.

  • They vary in shape from

  • person to person.

  • So essentially DNA profiling

  • is the process of separating an

  • individual's unique polymorphic

  • fragments from those of all others.

  • That's right.

  • Have you ever heard of one

  • person having two unique sets of

  • such polymorphic fragments?

  • By definition that would be impossible.

  • Why is that?

  • Because the genetic coding of

  • each person's polymorphic

  • fragments is entirely unique to that person.

  • I'm sorry, Mr. Fowler.

  • In that case why is Henry Jekyll

  • on trial here instead of Edward Hyde?

  • Objection, Your Honor.

  • Jekyll and Hyde are one and the same person.

  • Well, that is false, Your Honor.

  • Henry Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

  • are two different persons.

  • What makes you say that, Counselor?

  • Because according to samples

  • taken by the police from Hyde's apartment,

  • the DNA of Dr. Jekyll

  • and Mr. Hyde are not the same.

  • What?

  • [Claire] This is 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 their DNA.

  • Only one person fits the exact profile

  • of the killer.

  • And that person is Mr. Edward Hyde.

  • It's all in your report,

  • Mr. Fowler. Thank you.

  • No further questions.

  • Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

  • you heard the testimonies

  • attesting to Dr. Jekyll's character.

  • He is the opposite of a killer.

  • He is a healer and 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 DNA.

  • The DNA found at the scenes of

  • these barbaric crimes do not

  • belong to Dr. Jekyll,

  • but to another man.

  • Dr. Jekyll can't be held

  • responsible for these

  • horrendous acts.

  • The one and only person guilty

  • is Mr. Edward Hyde.

  • Ladies and gentlemen,

  • the killer is still out there.

  • And he's ready to strike again.

  • Thank you.

  • [reporter] Almost three hours now, well,

  • two hours and forty-three

  • minutes to be exact since

  • the jury began its deliberations.

  • And given the lateness of the

  • hour it is unlikely that a

  • verdict will be decided until--

  • wait-- we are just

  • getting word now that the jury is back.

  • And we will bring you all

  • those details as soon as

  • they are made available.

  • Will the defendant please rise?

  • In the matter of the State

  • versus Henry Jekyll,

  • we the jury find the defendant

  • not guilty.

  • [shocked murmuring]

  • [bangs gavel]

  • Order in the court!

  • Thank you.

  • [horns honking]

  • How's it feel?

  • Strange.

  • To get your life back, yeah.

  • Well, to know I'm finally myself again.

  • I assume you want that envelope back.

  • Envelope?

  • Yeah, the one you gave me in case.

  • Oh! Right.

  • Uh, well, you can throw it away.

  • You sure? Better yet burn it.

  • Forget he even gave it to you.

  • I'm sorry?

  • No, it's okay, really.

  • No, it's what you said.

  • What I said?

  • You said "he".

  • Forget he gave it to you.

  • Did I? Yeah, well I meant me.

  • Who else would I mean?

  • [nervous chuckle] Yeah, well.

  • Gabe, come on, you don't think--

  • I had to ask.

  • Well, I guess you have every right

  • after all that's happened, but as my dearest friend

  • in the whole, whole wide world--

  • I know. I should know.

  • Don't you think? Mmm-hmm.

  • And?

  • And, uh, you look hungry.

  • [laughs]

  • And it's on me.

  • Always, always.

  • Yeah.

  • [phone rings]

  • Hello?

  • Hey!

  • Hi, what a nice surprise.

  • Am I catching you at a bad time?

  • No. It's just uh, another day at the office.

  • Low pay, insane hours.

  • I've been meaning to call.

  • I-- I never got a chance

  • to truly thank you.

  • Well, I'm just glad

  • everything worked out.

  • So what have you been doing with yourself?

  • Are you back at work or--

  • Oh, no, no.

  • I'm not ready yet.

  • Ah, well, I feel ashamed to be a free man.

  • Yeah, well I guess that'll take some time.

  • Yeah. Anyway I-- I should let you go.

  • No listen, um, I have somewhere

  • I have to be, but, uh--

  • do you want to grab a cup of coffee?

  • I guarantee you, you will have a bad time.

  • I am extremely boring outside of work.

  • [laughs] Well, I guess we

  • have something in common.

  • Yeah.

  • So I..I have to go home after work,

  • but if you wanted to meet

  • me there, if you don't mind.

  • Ah no, no, no of course not.

  • Okay, then I will give you my address.

  • Claire?

  • Yeah?

  • Thank you.

  • [hangs up]

  • [knocking]

  • I'm coming!

  • [Hyde] Hello, Claire.

  • Henry.
