[box creaking]
[loud crash]
CAPTAIN DANCE: Be careful with that.
It's rather fragile.
[mock upper class accent]: Be careful with that,
my man, it's delicate, don't you know.
[laughs]
It's my lovely bone china tea set
wot I've brought back all the way from Ceylon.
We had a hundred servants, don't you know.
[crashing sound]
Stand aside!
[whistles]
Right.
Let's get to work, shall we?
[gramophone playing upbeat song]
♪ He says he won't
♪ I'm swimming in way too deep ♪
♪ I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea ♪
♪ Don't know if I'm here or there ♪
♪ I'm running 'round everywhere ♪
♪ He says he loves me madly but he just don't care. ♪
COMPERE: Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only
Maggie Kendall!
[whistling previous tune]
[glass breaks] Ah!
For God's sake, Garson, stop that damned whistling.
You're getting on my nerves.
[resumes whistling]
It's him, innit?
Hyde.
Wants to come out and play.
I'm fighting it, Garson.
I'm just so tired all the time.
You're the only one who can help me.
How did my grandfather do it?
Picking up where he left off?
No.
Garson, now, you have to believe me.
I'm not like him.
Yeah, maybe.
Please.
I need to know.
How exactly did Henry Jekyll change?
One potion to turn into Hyde,
another to turn back into Jekyll.
All right, all right, so...
So it was the potion?
It was the potion that brought about his transformation?
What else do you think it'd be?
Well then, why does it happen to me?
I mean, I've taken nothing.
[scoffs]
Look, the only drugs
I've ever taken are the pills that my fath...
...are the ones that Dr. Najaran made for me.
And I see now they were to keep Hyde away.
So why don't you use them?
Somebody stole them.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you're stuffed, then, aren't you?
All right then.
If you don't want to help me, then get out!
[glass shattering]
And don't come back!
I would if I had anywhere else to go.
[resumes whistling]
Still got it, boy.
Garson!
Garson, are you all right?
You do care about me after all.
[sighs]
Always wondered what your grandfather
kept in here.
Not a lot.
I am sorry, Garson.
I'm just so scared.
Scared of what's inside me,
what's going to happen to me.
And why I'm like this at all.
I'm not the one to ask.
I need to find my family-- my real family.
Someone who can tell me about my father.
If he was like me.
But I can't do anything until I can control Hyde.
Look, boy.
Just maybe you didn't ask
for what you've got.
But even if I wanted to help you, I can't.
To recreate your grandfather's potion, you need one
very special ingredient.
And there's none here.
What is it?
Oil of monocane.
The oil is diluted in the green solution
to one part in 10,000.
All that matters
is that it will effect a change from Hyde into Jekyll.
And this...
will do the opposite.
Goodbye Jekyll,
hello Hyde.
And the black?
There is enough monocane in here to separate his atoms.
It does need to be tested, though.
What is this?
It was in the safe.
The original plan of the laboratory,
but it don't seem to match up
with the layout here.
Here, could there be another room?
Maybe bricked off?
Wouldn't surprise me.
Jekyll loved to keep his secrets.
Even from me.
How much did you know?
Too much.
Do you know anything about my father, Garson?
No.
It looks like there should be something
the other side of this.
Look.
Oh, forget it.
That's not going to move.
What do you think's behind this?
Clairvoyant, am I?
What are they?
Seems he didn't destroy it all.
Could they really be his old potions?
Red for Hyde.
Green for Jekyll.
Monocane is an extraordinarily
powerful substance.
And were I to fire this into you, Silas,
we'd have to keep your remains
in a fishbowl.
What have I done wrong? I told you
to make sure nobody could connect Jekyll to his past.
I explained... Ah, ah, ah, ah.
You'll have your say in a minute.
Yes, Captain Dance, sir.
If I'd have thought it would be difficult,
I would have told you to wait and done it myself.
But I thought,
"No, what could possibly go wrong?"
I mean, all you had to do was kill a 70-year-old man.
68.
I won't accept failure, Silas.
Wait, wait, wait-- Captain Dance, sir, it weren't my fault.
Then whose fault was it?
Hyde turned up.
Well, you know yourself, sir, how powerful he is.
So you're saying it's my fault?
No, no, no, no,
Captain Dance, sir.
You.
Tell me, whose fault was it?
Who should I shoot today?
Well it weren't my fault, Captain Dance, sir.
I did the best I could, to be honest.
But I weren't the one in charge, was I?
I wasn't the one giving the orders.
We all did what Silas told us.
So if anyone's to blame, it should be him.
There's no denying
you failed in your task, Silas.
I'm going to give you one more chance.
I need you to do another job for me.
Thank you, Captain Dance, sir.
But somebody has to pay.
You.
You've shown disloyalty to your boss.
And we can't have disloyalty.
No!
No, no, no, no.
You're fired.
GARSON: 50 years it's been sitting there.
It's unstable, it's poisonous. I know,
but what if we could extract the monocane we need from this,
make a fresh potion?
Shut this place down, walk away.
And then what?
What do you think would happen to me?
I don't know.
Yes, you do.
I'd become like him.
I'd become a monster.
Walk away.
Now.
Why won't you help me?
You helped my grandfather.
Well, there's one way to test this.
Not on my watch.
[roars]
[doorbell rings]
Expecting someone?
I'm so glad Robert has some help here.
I was worried about him rattling around the house
like a lost child.
I mean...
Oh my goodness-- have I put my foot in it?
You're going to tell me you're his rich uncle, aren't you?
No, I'm... I'm not his... yes, I'm his help.
I just wanted to be sure he was all right.
He's not well.
[shouting in distance]
He's not very well at all.
Excuse me for a moment.
Hey!
I can't hold it any more, Garson.
Keep it down-- there's a girl up here.
Lily something.
Says she knows you.
Lily Clarke?
Yes, I do know her.
And I'd like to know her better.
So what shall I do?
Shall I go up there?
Send her screaming down the street?
Look at me!
I can't do anything while Hyde's still a threat.
I'll get rid of her then.
Hey, hey.
Just give me the potion.
No.
Kill or cure.
I can't live like this.
I'll go insane.
Hello?
[voices in distance]
[crashing sounds]
Robert?
He's really in no fit state
to see you now.
I heard...
I don't know what I heard.
A slight argument with some of the equipment.
Can I help?
Best if you leave.
[roaring]
I can't take it anymore, Garson!
Now it is kill or cure.
DANCE: There is work to be done, Silas.
More people to be killed.
Yes, I thought that would put
the smile back on your ugly face.
She's just a helpless little old lady,
but don't worry, you'll have some help this time.
Does that mean we can take your monocane darts?
They'd be very handy.
Oh, no, they're far too precious
for the likes of you, Silas.
I had in mind something rather different.
[roaring]
It's been like this all day, sir.
It's the Harbinger stirring them up.
Oh, do be quiet!
He really is a swine.
Spare us the cutter!
The day of blood and thunder is coming.
They know there's going to be a big party.
The sooner we get them moved the better.
Moved?
We need the cells for the new arrivals.
The day of blood and thunder is indeed coming.
Right, how are you getting on with
Jekyll's pills, Brannigan?
It's proving rather hard to separate the different
chemicals in it.
Dr. Najaran knew his business.
Are you saying he was too clever for you?
No one's too clever for me, sir.
You've cracked it?
What is it?
It is what makes Jekyll tick and Hyde tock.
Monocane.
From a flower, the Asura lily, that only grows
in the Himalayas.
Unfortunately, Tenebrae have cornered the market,
and we have used up our supply.
In small doses it is catnip to them.
It boosts their powers.
And in large doses?
Monsters are very hard to kill, Mr. Sackler.
You can try silver bullets or stakes through the heart,
garlic, henbane, or holy water.
But if you really want
to put a monster down and keep him down,
that...
...in this.
Monocane.
HANNIGAN: Just in from Ceylon, sir.
Bad news I'm afraid.
Robert Jekyll's half brother, Ravi, he's escaped.
[man speaking local dialect]
Name?
Anil Chadha, sir.
Where are you going today, Anil?
I'm going to visit my aunt
in Colombo.
[speaking local dialect]
Is there a problem?
What's in the satchel, Anil?
Nothing-- papers.
Mind if we take a look?
I will miss my train.
All the same, we'd very much like to see what's...
Herath Banda salutes you.
His debt to you is paid.
[growling, screaming]
[train whistle blows]
[horn honking]
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Is that her?
Yes.
Monty Charming's little girl, Bella.
All grown up.
Should we kill her?
Not yet.
We don't want to spook Jekyll.
Right now
he knows nothing, suspects nothing.
But if he finds his grandmother?
Ah, well, that would make things difficult.
We need to find her before he does.
And kill her?
We need to find her before he does.
Always.
We need to deal with Jekyll before he knows the whole truth.
And as soon as we've done what
we need to with him,
And as soon as we've done what
as you wish.
You know the way to a woman's heart.
Yes, I do.
Here.
Thank you.
Thought we might have lost you.
Disappointed?
No, I believe you now.
You're not like your grandfather at all.
You're trying to control your Hyde.
I'm glad one person understands.
You want to know about your father?
There were some things
I didn't want to tell you.
I needed to protect someone.
Who?
A girl.
A singer at the old Empire.
GARSON: She was young, beautiful
And, uh...
So full of life.
You loved her.
Everybody loved Maggie.
Including Dr. Jekyll.
Only he wouldn't ruin his reputation.
But as Hyde he could do as he liked.
He went after her
until he got what he wanted.
Set her up in a flat in Soho.
I thought I'd never see her again.
But you did?
Shortly after, Jekyll poisoned himself.
GARSON: Me and his lawyer,
Gabriel Utterson, were tidying up his affairs.
[knocking at door]
Answer it, man.
Maggie, look at you.
Are you all right?
My dear, whatever's the matter?
The matter?
I want to know he's gone.
Dr. Jekyll?
Yes, he's passed away, I'm afraid.
I'm his lawyer.
And, and... and the other one?
Hyde?
They're both really gone?
You know of Hyde?
Know of him?
Aye.
Oh, I know of him, all right.
What he was.
Him and Jekyll.
And I have something
that belongs to him.
It's all he left me with.
What do you mean?
My baby, Louie.
MAX: This had better be important, Robert,
and not more fairy tales about magical transformations.
Everything Garson told you is true, Max.
And your father believed it.
If he did, he never breathed a word.
Why do you think he was trying to burn
all my grandfather's papers when he died?
He spent his life trying to cover
the whole thing up to preserve the good name
of Dr. Jekyll.
I do not believe in the supernatural.
I cannot.
I'm a lawyer-- I deal with facts.
Well then, here's a fact for you.
Garson knew my grandmother--
Maggie Kendall.
Maggie Kendall?
Hils?
The singer at the Empire Music Hall.
We have a name.
Maggie Kendall.
I need you to find the person it belongs to.
The game is afoot, as they say.
I'll get my pipe and deer stalker.
Just don't listen to Robert
if he starts giving you
any ackamarackus about shape-shifters,
ghouls, and demons.
[screaming coming from movie being shown]
I do love horror films, don't you?
About poor, misunderstood creatures persecuted
by small-minded people.
So sad.
They always make me cry.
I don't want to risk being seen with you.
I need to get back to HQ.
You'll miss the best bit.
Everyone is about to get killed.
[screaming in movie]
ROBERT: I am sorry about yesterday.
Robert...
Please, Lily, I need to get this out.
Without my pills, my condition
has worsened.
Now I may have a way to make some more,
but until then, until I know I'm not
a danger to those around me...
I can't see you.
Robert, I can help you.
Please, Lily, I've made my decision.
Would you shut up for one minute?
If you'd only let me speak.
You're not the only one with secrets.
What is all this?
I don't understand.
That's because you're so wrapped up in
your own problems you never listen.
But you...
I had a life before I had to go
and bring mother home from Ceylon.
I was studying biochemistry at Cambridge.
I dreamed of becoming a scientist.
And I know it's not much,
but I couldn't just let it all go.
Why didn't you tell me before?
I thought you'd laugh.
I didn't even have a project to work on.
But don't you see, Robert?
You could be my project.
I could help control your condition.
Do you know anything about hormones?
Hormones.
From the Greek hormao meaning "I excite."
Clever little chemicals that control everything we do.
They tell us when to go to sleep
and when to wake up,
and when to eat, when to fight,
when to run,
and when to fall in love.
Miss Isabella Charming?
Most people just call me Bella.
Most people just call me Hils.
What do you want, Hils?
As a rule I don't talk to strangers.
I'm writing a book about the Victorian music halls.
I know this place used to be one.
In my granddad's day.
I'm researching the life
of Maggie Kendall.
She used to sing here.
And dance.
Do you like to dance?
Well,
I like Scottish country dancing.
♪ First he says he loves me then he says he don't ♪
♪ I'm scared to say I do in case he goes and says he won't. ♪
That was jolly.
You're not writing a book.
Am.
Let me guess.
You work for Mr. Utterson.
You a drinker?
Well...
I quite like dandelion and burdock.
Drink up.
This is about that crazy boy, isn't it?
And I want some answers,
"Hils."
Where's Garson?
Garson? The other night.
Garson's in trouble, that boy goes after him
like a bat out of hell, and that's the last I see
of either of them. What's going on?
I just want to track down Maggie Kendall.
That's not her name no more.
Oh?
She changed it.
Went into hiding.
What did she change it to?
As I say, I don't talk to strangers.
And you are a very strange one.
Where is Garson?
I'm going spare with worry.
He's my right arm.
Been here since my granddad's time.
Did your grandfather ever talk about Maggie?
[chuckling]
Don't talk to strangers.
Good rule.
If something's happened to Garson...
if that boy has harmed him in any way...
I'd best be pressing on.
Thanks for the drink-- I rather enjoyed it.
And thanks for your help.
You don't get me like that.
I didn't tell you nothing.
You don't talk to strangers.
Worst luck.
But you squeezed me like a lemon.
Garson's fine, Bella.
He's with the boy.
He wants to come back and see
his Empress as soon as it's safe.
Hope.
Maggie changed
her name to Hope.
She's down in Kent somewhere.
GARSON: What did you tell her, boy?
The truth.
Well, half the truth.
That my grandfather suffered from
a condition that I've inherited.
That if his body was ever flooded by hormones...
He turned into a monster.
Well, that's the part I didn't tell her.
There isn't any other part.
I just said that he became irrational--
confused, headaches, violent outbursts,
but he had his medicine to control it.
I still think you're crazy working with her.
If we can separate the elements in this,
extract the monocane, we might be able
to make a safer solution.
And in the meantime, what about Hyde?
Well, if I'm careful.
If I avoid any excitement, anger, pain, fear...
Desire.
At the first sign of Hyde,
I will drink a pint of this.
Hope.
Ah!
We'll have an MIO escort as far as the edge of London.
But after that, we'll be on our own.
Fedora and I shall start off here.
HANNIGAN: Careful!
He's heavily sedated, but still dangerous.
HANNIGAN: Well done.
Sergeant Kelly, good luck.
[snarling]
London, please.
Do you need a hand with that?
Get out!
Move.
MAX: I don't want
to get into another argument,
so I think it's best for the sake of our health
if there's no more talk about...
him. Yes.
And no more talk
about monsters.
But what about Maggie-- is she all right?
She's alive-- that's all I know.
ROBERT: You found her?
Get your coat, Robert.
We're going to meet your grandmother.
Not without me, you're not.
Good shooting country.
What I'd give for a dog and a gun
and a brace of crested duck rising into the sky.
Go easy with that.
She won't want to open the door to Hyde.
She might not be too keen
on the Jekyll either.
[knocking on door]
Are you lost?
Mrs. Hope, Margaret Hope?
Who are you?
My name's Max Utterson.
I believe you knew my father,
Gabriel Utterson.
I don't know what you want, or who you think I am.
I think you're Margaret Hope, formerly Maggie Kendall,
star of the Empire Music Hall.
You've made a mistake.
Now please leave.
No mistake, Maggie.
I recognize you,
even after all these years.
It's me-- Garson.
Go, now.
Before I call the police.
Please, please.
I'm...
I'm Robert Jekyll.
Your grandson.
I'm not who you think I am.
Hello?
Who's this?
Well something tells me they're not from
the gas board.
Here, round the back, quick.
I have no idea what's going on,
but it's rather a hoot, isn't it?
Smashing windows and dodging bullets.
Ah, that's the ticket!
Hello?
Operator?
Hello?
They'll have cut the line.
What's going on?
Our past's catching up with us, Maggie.
Margaret!
It's Margaret Hope.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I'm Charlie Chaplin.
[gramophone playing]
Whoops!
Hold up, lads.
Hyde's beaten us here.
This time we don't take any risks.
Get him out.
Alfie?
There you come-- there's the way.
[roaring]
Go and get 'em, boy!
You've got to trust us, Maggie; we've got to get out of here.
Come on.
Are you really him?
Are you Louis' boy?
Believe in monsters now, Mr. Utterson?
Oh!
What's the matter, Hyde?
You lost all your power?
What's the matter, Hyde?
everyday punch bag.
This is for nearly dropping me in the river.
And this...
is for leaving me dangling.
MAX: Hey, hey!
You!
Beast!
And this
just because.
You leave her alone!
Thanks for waking me up, Cyclops.
I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Robert!
Come on!
Get out of here, Max!
Leave the lobster to me.
We have to help him!
No!
Please ...
You know, I never did like shellfish.
They always disagreed with me.
HILS: Quick, Robert!
MAX: Get in, Robert, get in!
Hils. For the first time in my life I give you
full permission to drive like a maniac.
Hold on to your lunches!
MAX: We did it!
Maggie?
She's been hit.
No!
