"He's due at midnight." "He's usually punctual." "You really need all these?" " I'm not sure how strong he is?" " He's stronger than you?" " Yes." " Strength isn't usually a variable." " I'm sorry?" " In cases like this, you don't get extra muscles or anything." "There aren't any cases like this." "Please." "The woman sitting opposite you is Katherine Reimer." "She's a psychiatric nurse, with experience in... related areas." "She is fully apprised of the situation, and yes, she can be trusted." "If you approve, she's coming to work for us, for both of us." "She won't take sides." "Please consider it." "We can't go on the way we've been going." "In the event she decides to release you from the chair, the cameras are on." "You know the rules." "You don't keep him in that chair all the time?" " Of course not." " So what's it for?" "He has violent episodes and he doesn't like surprises." "Am I the surprise?" " I want you to feel safe." " Great job you're doing." "If released, there are three things he never leaves without." "What's the chair for normally, when you're not making girls feel safe?" "Sometimes I punish him." "OK." "Three things?" "Digital recorder, runs for 24 hours, kept on at all times unless by prior agreement." "GPS, keeps a track of his movements." "Afterwards, download everything onto the computer." "There's timecode on both for correlation." "You wear those things too?" " Yes." " Mutual surveillance." " Exactly." " And the third thing?" "The dictaphone." "It's how we communicate." ""We're running low on milk," that kind of thing?" "Sometimes." "What's wrong?" "He's coming." "You said violent episodes." " Yes." " What if he has one?" "There's not a lot you can do." "Under the circumstances." "Please, could you just sit over there?" "What if he hurts someone?" "If he's as bad as you say..." " He is." " What if he kills someone?" " He won't." " Why not?" "Because I'd turn myself in." "Are there rules for you too?" "He says if I ever attempt to look for a cure, he'll put a bullet in his brain." "I see." "He doesn't know the code." "You'll need to memorise it." " I just did." " Anything else I should tell you?" "Do you ever smile?" "Let me know." "Good luck, Miss Reimer." "Good night, Dr Jackman." "6pm." "I'll be offline for three hours." "I will not be changing location." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Hi." "Hello." "All right?" " What have you been up to?" " Pick us up!" "Lifting you two is like lifting two huge, enormous, fat men." "What are you eating?" "Right, you two." "Out to the garden." "I have to talk to Mummy." "See you in a minute." "You might at least have had the decency to be having an affair." "It's one thing coming second best to another woman." "But coming second best to no woman at all..." " You're being positively thoughtless." " How long has this been going on?" "That was so going to be my question." "You put a private detective on me!" "I can't believe you left your wife and kids without a word of explanation." "I win!" "So, this explains the black van that's following me everywhere." "We never discussed the colour of the van." " Daddy!" " In a minute." "I don't..." "I don't have a secret lover or anything." " Secret lover!" " Well, I don't!" "Darling, you're too repressed to have a secret lover." "Was I always repressed?" "Even at the beginning?" "When I had the twins, do you know what my first thought was?" "What?" "I think he likes me." "Hmm." "Stop it!" "Eddie..." "Eddie, I thought I told you to..." "Eddie!" "Eddie, I mean it!" "Night-night, Eddie." "Night, Harry." " I should go." " Oh?" "Is that what you should do?" " Tom..." " Claire, I can't..." "Whatever the problem is... whatever it is that's keeping you from us, whatever's happened that's so bad you think you can't even talk to me about it..." "Fancy a fuck?" "Claire..." "Sorry!" " What's wrong?" " Got to go." "Tom..." "Not here!" "Come on!" "No!" "No!" " Dr Jackman?" " Unscheduled change." "He's coming." "What brought it on this time?" "It's happening more..." "No time!" " You look... different." " How much do I owe you?" "Just once." "Seriously, just bloody once, could you tell me where you parked?" "Good evening." " I don't drink whisky." " It's not for you." " I wasn't sure who to expect." " He didn't stay long, couple of hours." " Between 8 and 10." " I'll tell him he owes you." " Unless you want the time now." " No." "Thursday evening." "I've got a meeting out of town." " Fine." "Where did you come round?" " The usual." " Did you pay her?" " Yes." "Prostitutes take their money up front." "You paid her twice." "No reason to pay double when you've only got the one, you know..." "Thank you, Katherine." "If you changed in the car, you hid it in the glove box." "Want me to go and look?" "Isn't he entitled to know he's married?" "I should give you the safe combination." "No need." " Sometimes you're quite frightening." " Which coming from you..." "What triggered it this time?" "It's happening more and more." " Do you think it's stress-related?" " I don't know." " We should start making notes." " If you like." " Any messages?" " No." "Anything from him?" " He wants a name." " Where did that come from?" "Not having a name, I imagine." " Tell him to choose one." " He wasn't asking permission." "Tell him he has it." "Your books arrived." "Only two titles they couldn't find." "I've tracked them down, they'll be here tomorrow." "Thank you." "That's a lot of reading." "Must be a very long article you're writing." "It is, yes." "Are you looking for a cure, Dr Jackman?" "Which obviously I'd completely understand, but I work for both you and that's not in the terms of your agreement." "You're entitled to research your condition, but then he's entitled to know he's married, isn't he?" "He's not married." "I'm married." "Good night, Katherine." "Good night, Dr Jackman." " Where do you want access to?" " Just the library." "Not the coffee shop?" "That would be nice." "Thanks." "We miss you round here, Dr Jackman." "Writing another article?" "Well, you know..." "Keeping the wolf from the door?" "Always." "You don't do crosswords." " How do you know?" " They're for fun." "Good Lord, really?" "If you want to talk, you don't have to lurk about in my vicinity." "Just try phoning." "Well, there'd be all that..." "You know..." " Chatting." " Yeah." "Is it worth mentioning I still haven't changed my mind?" "Is it worth mentioning I still haven't advertised your job?" "You should." "Oh, for God's sake!" "Six months." "Your wife and your job!" "If you're having a breakdown about some waitress, you must've got it out of your system by now!" "Peter, advertise my job." "How can you bear it?" "Writing about what you used to do." "How can that be enough?" "I'm fairly certain you used to have some sort of an ego." " I did." "It got so big it left me." " Actually, that's quite funny." "Oh, you've got no idea." "Well, hang on, hang on." "Couldn't we at least go for a drink?" "Sorry, I've got someone coming." "Advertise my job." "What's that expression about Satan skating to work?" "Something to do with hell freezing over." " It's a sort of a quip." " Not anymore." " OK, OK, a quick half, then." " I've got to go home and change." " Yeah?" " Have you seen the time?" " I'm heading back now." " He's due at 7." "He's never late for a scheduled change." " I know." " I found that detective agency for you." "They've got an office at 19 Bowman Road." " Bowman Road?" " Yeah." " That's just ten minutes away." " You don't have time." "No." "No, of course not." "Come on, come on." " Excuse me?" "I'm looking for..." " Through there." " You OK?" " What do you think, sweetie?" "No, no, they're all cancelled." "No, I'm serious, love, all of them." "Breaks my heart, too." "Itsy bitsy pieces." "Listen, I've got to go." "No, really, I'm going." "Kiss your dogs for me." "Bye-bye." "Obviously you know who I am." "Good evening, Dr Jackman." "The black van is a little hard to miss." "Probably the tinted windows." " I'm not coming through to take notes." " You never did." "Well, that goes double now!" "How?" "Exactly!" "Why didn't you show my wife all of the photographs?" "I know there must be others." "There's someone missing." "A friend of mine." "If you've been following me, you'll have seen him." "There must be photographs." " Well?" " He's a pretty boy." "All the more reason to have shown the photographs to my wife." "Dr Jackman." "At this moment, do you know what the single most important fact of your life is?" " I thought I did." " Have you got five minutes?" " Yes." " Don't go anywhere." " Hello?" " Apparently I smoke." " When did he start?" " Where are you?" " I can change in the car." " Are you in the car now?" "Stick a patch on his arm." "Remind him we don't have a lung each!" " Dr Jackman, are you in the car now?" " I'll call you back." " Where did she go?" " Home." " For the night?" " For good." "We're closing down." " I'm sorry?" " You're sorry?" "!" " What?" " A rich relative upped and died." "You know what's funny about that?" "I don't have any rich relatives." "Know what else is funny?" "Neither did she." " You're Dr Jackman, aren't you?" " Yes." "So, what's so special about you?" " Special?" " Someone paid her that money, and you're the only one she was following." " Got any rich relatives?" " What's her mobile number?" " I can't give it out." " She just sacked you." " You said you were coming back." " I told you to stay where you were." "What the hell are you doing?" "Getting away from you as far as I possibly can." "So I see." "Dr Jackman, the single most important fact in your life..." " Is what?" " I don't own a black van." "What the fuck?" "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" "Are you listening to me?" " I'm sorry..." " Get up!" "Get up!" " I have to go." " Yeah?" " Maybe not, eh?" " Billy, leave him!" "Shut up!" "What I am reaching for is not a weapon." " What the fuck are you doing?" " You see, just a tape recorder." "He's got a knife." "Minimum necessary force." "You understand me?" "I will check." " What are you doing?" " Saving your life, I hope." "Turn around." "Face the wall!" " Why?" " Because I told you to." " Was he attacking you?" " What's it to you?" "Just trying to salve my conscience." "While I still have one." "You stay there, don't move." "He'sgotaknife." "Minimum necessary force." "You understand me?" "I will check." "What was that about?" "You look..." "Well, you don't..." "First fag of the day..." "always hits the spot." "You stay away from me." "I'll hurt you." "Yeah?" "You think?" "Mmm..." "Don't worry." "I have a good doctor." "Jesus!" "It'll hurt more tomorrow, which works for me." "Now... you know what I call this, children?" "I call this the perfect start to an evening." "The night is young, there's a beautiful girl, and somebody's going to die." "It's you, by the way." " What?" " OK." ""Minimum necessary force." Let's see." "What do you say, I'll give you three goes?" " Goes?" " With the knife." "You can give it your best shot three times." "Then afterwards, once you're done, I'll break your neck." " What?" " The neck's quick for you, easy for me." " Everybody's happy." " Billy, just go!" "That's an option." "I'd consider that." "Because quite honestly..." "I'm only in this to fuck your girlfriend." " That was one." " Billy, just leave!" "Ooh..." "I think she wants to be alone with me." "OK." "One more go." " Make it a good one." " Billy, please..." "Billy?" "That's a good name." "I might use that name when you're finished with it." "Which is going to be any second now." "OK." "Let's make it easy." "Mmm..." "Pick a spot." "Relax." "Take your time." "You've got the rest of your life." "Oh, well." "Thanks for competing, you've been great." "But it's time to say good night to the folks at home." "Are you ready Billy?" "Here comes God!" "Don't kill him!" "The truth is..." "Are you listening Billy?" "The truth is, if I'm being honest, if I'm not winding you up," "I don't get a lot of pleasure out of killing children." "But I get enough." " OK." "Do you know anything about lions?" " Lions?" "What happens when the head lion gets killed by a young one?" "Do you know what the lionesses do?" "They go straight into heat for the new head of the family." "Hubby's dead, the cubs have been slaughtered, and suddenly everybody's singing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"" " Do you want to play lions?" " Please, let me go." "No!" "Come on!" "Let's play lions!" "Don't run." "Not when you're playing lions." "You know what runs?" "Food runs." "Let me go!" "Mmm..." "C-c-c-c-c-catch you later." "Fact is Billy, I have a nice side." "But you just missed him." "Billy." "What do you think?" "Could I be a Billy?" "Go on." "You were here before, weren't you?" "Yes." "Well, I'm surprised you can remember it." "My liver applied for a transplant." "This time, let's not give him the chance." " What do you want?" " What's really bad for hangovers?" "Hello." "Your friend left." "Oh, hang on, hang on." "Oh, look at you, Mr Safe Sex." "I'm impressed!" "Oh..." "Shit!" " You've numbered them." " Yeah." " Why?" " It's an arrangement." " Who with?" " Doesn't matter." "I don't even know your name." "Funny you should say that." "Mr Hyde?" "Mr Hyde, are you in there?" " Is that you?" " No." "Mr Hyde, I saw you go in there." " Who the fuck is Mr Hyde?" " You are." "Says who?" "I hope I didn't catch you in the middle of someone." "I got you a drink." "I'm Benjamin." "Benjamin Lennox." "Call me Ben." "Call me whatever you like." "Mr Hyde." "You don't know that's your name?" "Oh, come on." ""Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde"." "You read that." "Do I look like a big reader?" "Movies then, all those movies." "You're a movie star, you know that?" "You've been Spencer Tracy, Michael Caine, Jack Palance even." "Who else?" "John Barrymore." "Barrymore?" "Was that a silent?" " Yes, sir." " Who cares about silents?" "You're wondering what the hell I'm talking about." "I'm wondering about that wee window up there and if you'd fit through it at speed." "This is Christopher." "And in the event of, er... you attempting any violence on my person, Mr Hyde," "Christopher is going to take an attitude." "Believe me when I tell you, you don't want to be there when Christopher takes an attitude." "You know what?" "Don't throw me out the window, Mr Hyde." "What do you want?" "To tell you who you are." " Who says I want to know?" " I do." "Who are you?" "Well, forgive me, Mr Hyde, and I mean this in a corporate rather than an individual sense, but in point of fact," "I'm your owner." "Now, there's two things we can do here." "I can tell you what the hell I'm talking about, or you can try and throw Christopher out that little window." "I don't think Christopher'll fit." "Cheers." "Cheers." " Don't be an idiot!" " What the hell's going on?" "!" "What time of night do you call this?" "Dr Jackman keeps apologising for his bad temper." "Doesn't realise he's permanently on four hours sleep and a hangover." " You should give up on him." " I'm sorry?" "He'd never have hired you if he'd wanted you." "Know why?" "Never had a reason to think about it." "If Jackman gets a hard-on," "I'm it." "That's interesting." "Because I've always thought of you as a bit like a hard-on." " Oh, yeah?" " Yeah." " Usually disappointing." " Mm." "Drink all of it." "Katherine?" "Katherine?" "Katherine?" " Who's there?" " Katherine?" " Dr Jackman?" " Yes." "Sorry, I just..." "I thought..." "Are you all right?" "I'm fine, I just..." "Dr Jackman?" "I woke up during one of his dreams." "Do you want anything?" "Can I do anything?" "No, no." "I should just go back to bed." "Good night, Dr Jackman." "Good night, Dr Jackman." "If you wouldn't mind, thanks." "I've still got that headache." "Should I see a doctor?" " No." " Damn it!" "Oh, great." "Yes." "Uh-huh." "Thank you." "That detective agency, Callendars, closed down." "Forwarding address is just a mail box." ""The Lion King and other Disney favourites"." "That's his, I should put it away." " He has Disney favourites?" " He likes the songs." "My dark side likes Mary Poppins?" "No wonder I was bullied at school." "You said yourself, he's a child." " Find out where that mail box is." " Bedfordshire." "Exactly, physically, where." "Hello, sweetie." "This is the part where you're supposed to follow ME." "It would be ever so helpful if you were awake." "I'm the one without any rich relatives." "Which is a bit of a lie, actually." "I've got an uncle with a half-exploded liver, but it's tactless to make plans." "Anyway, I'm in that tangerine car over there." "Pop your engine on, try to keep up." "If you're careful, I bet I shan't suspect a thing." "Found him!" "Right." "Although technically, he was supposed to find us." "Sorry, Miranda." "But he fell asleep while he was waiting." "He wouldn't make a very good detective." "No, I don't suppose you would, would you, Dr Jackman?" "Either of you." "At first I thought it was a kind of make-up job." "But the hairline is clearly different." "And also he's at least two inches taller, and a little narrower across the shoulders." " You missed out "sexier"." " He's a sexy boy, yep." "And if we notice he's sexy, he must be pushing the envelope." "Isn't that so, dear?" "Oh, look." "I think Dr Jackman's making a clever old deduction about us." " So." "Tell us about... yourselves." " Why?" "Because I was paid a very large amount of money to stop following you." "Which we took, of course." "I didn't care to see what came next in their repertoire of persuasion." "And also, we need a new kitchen." "And there's the baby, of course." "Oh, and the baby, yeah, of course." "We're pregnant." "Well, mostly me." "So, any idea who might be bribing us, Dr Jackman?" " No." " Or following you in a black van?" " No." " Don't you want to find out?" " Of course." " Then let us help." " I don't need help." " You do." "I can handle this on my own." "Oh, I entirely believe you." "But then again, you never are, are you?" "On your own." "It started about six months ago." "I'd had symptoms before, but nothing really major." "Hair on my forearms out of nowhere, things like that." "Then I started having blackouts." "Except, of course, they weren't blackouts." "I thought it was a split personality thing, but there was an actual physical change." "For a while I thought I was cursed, or a werewolf, or God knows what." "And what do you think now?" "I don't know what to think." "I know how often you go to the library." "I even know what books you get out." "Does your other half know you're looking for a cure?" "I'd rather you didn't tell him." "I won't." "What have you found?" "There's nothing to find." "My condition is unprecedented." "Nothing like this has ever happened before." "Yes, it has." "You've been looking in the wrong place." "Ah. "Jekyll and Hyde"." "The comparison has occurred to me, but this is fiction." "Step into my office!" "Dr Henry Jekyll, 1883, Edinburgh." "Amongst his close friends, one Robert Louis Stevenson." "Jekyll died a few months before Stevenson's story was published." " It was a true story?" " At least based on truth." " He looks like me." " Exactly like you, yeah." "You said he died." "At the age of 43, not long after this photograph was taken." "About my age, then." "I think time is becoming a factor." "What did he die of?" "It's unclear, even in the story, but he... died as Hyde." "But my case is different, isn't it?" "He drank a potion or something." "He was drugged, that's how he changed." "I never took anything." "Well, maybe you just inherited it." "Like it's in your blood now." "Runs in the family." "Well, that would make sense." "Just one problem." "They aren't related." " But look at them." "They must be." " But they can't be." "Why not?" "It's interesting that you have twins." "Do they have similar personalities?" "Or are they opposites?" "They're very sweet, Dr Jackman." "Don't you worry about them?" "What, with your, you know, funny turns?" "Dr Jackman has given a great deal of thought to their protection." "Of course." "Though one wonders how much protection would be enough." "So why can't Dr Jackman and Dr Jekyll be related?" "Because Dr Jekyll is the last of the Jekyll line." "There are no brothers and sisters, no surviving cousins." "Nobody." " Well, that's impossible." " You're a foundling, aren't you?" "Left in a railway station in Belfast, raised by foster parents." "Nobody really knows how you got here." "I know you've tried to find out, so have I." "But there's nothing out there." "Not a footprint, not a kiss." "You arrived in this world without a trace." "Dr Jekyll, 1883." "Dr Jackman, today." "I think we need to find out how you got here." " Where do my children live?" " I'm sorry?" "My family, my children." "Where do they live?" " Tell me the address." " Well, you know the address." " I'd like to visit them." " You visit them all the time." "I'd like to visit them now." "Min, could you pop to the house and get the other file on Dr Jackman?" " The one with the address in it." " There isn't another file." "Yeah, yeah there is." "It's the top shelf of the sitting room." " No, I'm sure there isn't." " Min, please, just do as you're told." "Honestly, it's like I'm your secretary or something." "Dr Jackman..." "I think you assume that your other half is a manifestation of your dark side," "I don't think you're right." "I think he's a child." "Albeit a child with the body and drives of a fully grown adult." "He has extraordinary strength and speed." "He has stamina far beyond the norm." "And he's also brand new." "How often in this world does the sun rise on something completely new?" "And how often do we mistake a miracle for a monster?" "I don't think he's a monster." "Or at least, he doesn't have to be." "Do you understand me?" "Do you understand me?" "You can be anything you want to be Mr Hyde." "Mr Hyde." "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Daddy!" "Da..." "You might have told me you were just going to..." "Bloody hell!" "What happened to you?" "Have you done something?" "Have you dyed your hair?" "You look..." "You look..." "Oh, my God." "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." "I thought you were Tom." "You... you look just like him." "Well." "I'm guessing your second name is Jackman." "I didn't think Tom had any family." "Neither did I." "It's so typical." "Tom never even mentioned he had a cousin." " But you know what he's like." " What's he like?" "Well, you know." "Well, he keeps it all inside, doesn't he?" "At times it's like talking to someone who's lying at the bottom of a pond." "Hmm..." "Someone ought to drain that pond, see what's lurking at the bottom." "Shall we go through?" "There's cake." "Bring a knife." "What a perfect start to the evening." "Oh, God!" " Hello?" " Well?" "I spoke to Hyde, but didn't get anywhere much." "Hyde is an animal." "You wouldn't." "What next?" "I've got a few thoughts, kicking them around." "Whencanwe bringhim in?" "How soon?" "We can't just pull him off the streets." "This is England." "It's the third world with rights." "TomJackman won't have rights for long." "It's a nice thought, Ms Utterson, but I don't see..." "He can't control Hyde." "Not forever." "Eventually, Hyde will do something." "Something that Jackman cannot forgive." "Eventually he will know that he cannot contain him." "And then WE begin." " Daddy!" " Harry!" " Daddy!" " Eddie!" "Hello, boys!" "Hi." "How are you?" "I'm the surprise, eh?" "Me coming?" "Nice to see you." "Nice to see you." "Oh, boys, boys." "Tom?" "I didn't hear the car." "Are you all right?" "I, um..." "Is Billy still here?" "Billy?" " Your cousin Billy." " My cousin?" "He said you knew he was coming round." "Is he still here?" " No, no, he's gone." " Oh." "He had the kids up playing half the night." "This whole house looks like a bomb hit it." " I'll put some coffee on." " Come on." "You can help." "And you." "Serious charmer, by the way." "You ought to watch it." "He's..." "Well, he's like you." "Only alive." "Wish I could see your face, Daddy." "Got you that time, didn't I?" "Be sensible." "What makes you think I would ever harm my family?" "Ooh, and here's something interesting." "I found out my name!" "Someone told me my name." "Isn't that good, Daddy?" "My name is Jackman." "Your name's Jackman too." "But I think you're not going to be around much longer." "Time's up, old man." "It's time to move over and let the next guy have a go." "World's changing, got to change with it." "Love your wife, by the way." "Do you know about lions, Daddy?" "Do you know what lionesses do when there's a new head of the family?" "Good night..." "Dr Jackman." "Hello?" "Dr Jackman?" "Dr Jackman, is that you?" " Dr Jackman, please say that's you." " It's me." "Are your family OK?" "Listen, we couldn't stop him, he locked us in the cellar." "He said he wanted to see his family." "Are they OK?" " They're not his family." " Dr Jackman?" "They're not... his... family!" "Dr Jackman, are you all right?" "They're not your family!" "They're not your family!" " They're not your family!" " Tom!" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I'll be down in a minute." "It's all right." "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I'm all right." "I'll be down in a minute." "Mum!" "Mum!" "Listen to me." "We have had an agreement." "A truce." "And it has worked." "We have survived." "But understand me." "There is a line I will not allow you to cross." "If you ever come here again if you set foot near my family again no agreement, no truce, it's war." "Do you understand me?" "Come to my family again, and you and I are at war!" "As long as the lights and cameras are on, you're safe." "Lights out... you're dinner." "Hyde." "I can't believe he's calling himself Hyde now." "For God's sake, wipe your nose!" "He's capable of anything, if he can get away with it." "I know what he's like, Dr Jackman, I've met him." " Alone at last." " Don't play these games." "Not with me!" "All respect, we're running out of time." "I'm not in love with Dr Jackman." "You've heard of good cop, bad cop?" "This is the movie!" "Ever killed anyone Benjamin?" " Not personally." " You're missing out." "Welcome to the company, Mary Poppins."
