Jekyll s01e03 Episode Script

Doctor Jackman, where are you? Gone away.
The most powerful creature on the planet is what I'm looking at.
He's capable of anything, if he can get away with it.
Mr Hyde, don't play these games with me! He's got a knife.
Minimum necessary force.
You understand me? My neck on the line.
My personal neck.
- Mrs Jackman? - Good morning.
It's complicated.
Either you're my mother or you're not.
Rules of estrangement.
Do we kiss now? I've forgotten.
Bad news.
I'm not in love with Dr Jackman.
Good work, Mr Syme.
You're welcome.
You are a direct descendant of Dr Henry Jekyll of Edinburgh, correct? - Yes.
- And yet he had no family, correct? Yes.
Then how can anything be simple? How's Mom this morning? Nobody in or out! One door! Where is she? There's a woman called Katherine and she'll contact you.
Help her.
- I won't stop fighting him.
- Then he will kill you.
Then I won't die.
I have a wife and children, I won't die.
I didn't get any sleep, Daddy.
That means you didn't get any sleep, either.
That's body-share for you.
Tired, Daddy? Oh, bet you are.
Bet you're tired as anything.
Close your eyes, Daddy.
Let me drive.
Trash one more hotel room and I can chain both your feet.
When you sleep I will eat your children.
First we lose Tom Jackman, then Mom just vanishes.
We checked the video footage to see how she got out.
It had erased itself.
All gone.
We checked the security log to see who opened the door.
What do you know? Erased.
"But that's impossible! It's magic!" And so I'm asking how did she get out of the cell? I don't know.
Did she walk through the wall? That how she did it? Did she walk through the wall, Pete? I don't know.
You Well, let me explain about walls, Pete.
Come over here, let me show you.
It's OK, don't be scared.
You see this wall? Let me explain about walls! Oh, for Heaven's sake, that's enough now! Walls stop people! And you stop now.
My daddy once said to me a long time ago, "Son, stop hitting me.
" I said, "Daddy, stop getting up.
" It's OK, it's OK.
He's finished now.
Come on, up you come.
That's good.
OK.
Now you get yourself down to the nurse, get yourself cleaned up, and find someone to fire you.
Don't talk to anybody about this, otherwise we'll do whatever it is we do to people.
Probably a bit unpleasant.
I mean, er you know, I mean, I'd try not to find out.
Sorry to be a bit vague, but, er do take that in the general area of a threat.
OK, well off you pop.
Quickly now.
What the hell's the matter with you? Bad day break ahead.
You know how it is.
No, I don't know "how it is".
Well, then, I'll tell you.
She's coming.
We fucked up at the zoo, we lost Mom, and guess what? Hmm we can't find Dr Jackman, and she is coming.
If you want to keep your balls where you can reach them, start praying we find that son-of-a-bitch before she gets here.
Mr Syme.
Sleep, Tom.
Sleep, darling.
It's OK.
Close your eyes.
Sleep.
Sleep.
Come on now, love.
Close those eyes.
Hang that head.
I assume she looks a bit older now.
Older? No, not at all.
She looked like that.
Exactly like that? Yeah, like that.
That photograph is 15 years old.
Well, she doesn't look a day older now.
Well, that's not really possible, is it? Sadly.
Well, you could put a little more work in, dear.
So, she's lasting well.
It happens.
Oh, she's lasting amazingly.
She's dead.
Died 15 years ago.
That's one way to halt the ageing process.
She's not dead, though.
I met her.
I checked it out.
All the records agree.
Dead.
Well, then she faked it.
Or somebody did.
- It's very difficult to fake a death.
- Yes, I tried it once.
But that was more of a boyfriend thing.
Oh, I had boyfriends once, dear.
No idea I was a lesbian till Miranda explained it to me.
Could have knocked me over with a feather.
Which, oddly enough Moving on To fake a death properly you need limitless funds, friends in high places, and a spare corpse.
It's a virtual impossibility.
Now, add to that fact that Sophia Jackman apparently hasn't aged at all in fifteen years.
Well Well, obviously she's not a ghost, is she? Now, why are we eliminating that possibility? Because there's no such thing.
Katherine! Your current professional engagement is working as a PA to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
From now on, there's no such thing as "no such thing".
Wait there, I'm just going to get the tickets.
The machine's outside, can you see it? I will be outside.
Don't pick your nose.
Mister? - He's fine.
- What did you do to him? - Nothing.
- What did he do? - I didn't do anything.
- Get away from him.
- Sweetie, what did he do? - Where did the other man go? What other man? Darling, there was no other man.
Where did he go? Sweetie, there wasn't another man.
I was just there, I'd have seen.
I won't let him hurt you.
I won't let him hurt anyone, I promise.
- Hello? - It's me.
- It's him.
- It's him.
Don't say where you are.
Are you on a train? Yes.
- They know we're listening, then? - They guess.
So, how are you? Any visits from our friend? I try to avoid him.
- How? - Staying awake.
- A train? - You've been awake for a whole week? Jesus, a train.
- So what, a train? - He's on a cell phone Tell him to hang up and switch off the phone now.
- Ssh - Katherine! Just a minute.
The longer he's constrained, the worse he gets.
- Yes.
- He's like a dog, you need to run him.
If I let him run, he will run to my children.
You don't know that.
Who told you that? - I did.
- Will you please tell him to hang up? He's just making threats.
He saved Eddie's life.
He'd have killed him too, for a laugh.
You don't understand.
Maybe you don't.
Katherine, I can't let him free, he's trying to take over! Dr Jackman, hang up and switch off the phone now.
Tell Katherine I'm sorry I shouted, I'll be fine.
Tell her not to worry.
Dr Jackman Oh, damn it! You could phone him back, if it's important.
He'll have withheld his number, he's not that stupid.
He's exactly that stupid.
Come on.
- Come on.
- But he's hung up.
Doesn't matter.
Phone's still switched on.
If you can be texted you can be tracked.
How long have they been able to do this for? Well, I know where that blonde on reception lives.
And I know you know too.
Track Jackman and you're rehired.
- I was fired? - Mentally.
Where are you? You're on the wrong end of that question.
Probably, yes.
You're not at home, I tried.
I'm in a friend's house, OK? Staying over.
For Christ's sake! Are you all right, Tom? What's happening? - What are you doing? - What does it matter? It doesn't.
- Are the boys there? - No.
Where are they? Why do you assume it's not a man friend I'm staying with? I don't.
Would it matter if it were? How's Eddie? Still drawing his daddy fighting lions.
He thinks you're a superhero now.
What happened in there? So where are they staying tonight? They've got their school trip tomorrow, I couldn't bring them.
- They're staying with - Don't tell me! - Tom - Don't tell me where they are.
Don't tell me where you are, either.
I love you.
Close those eyes.
Hang that head.
Drift away with me.
Claire? Look at you.
Look at my poor baby.
Sleep.
Just sleep.
I can't.
He'll go to our boys.
He'll take our boys.
The boys are safe with me, love.
Leave the boys to me.
You're him.
Get away from me, you're him! Of course it's me, Daddy! Who else lives inside your head? But don't I scrub up nice? Just let go.
Let me dream for you.
I know what you want.
I know what you like.
I've peeped.
- Sleep, Daddy! Sleep with me.
- Get away from me! My, my, Daddy! Where did that come from? I do declare, I'm all a-flutter.
Don't speak to me out of her mouth! Don't you ever do that! What's so special about her? Whiny little Claire.
Oh, Tom! Why have you left me, Tom? Oh, Tom, come back to me.
Oh, Tom, I'm so sad, and so wronged, and so Ionely.
Don't I always dress nice? Love me, Tom.
Don't you get sick of that shit? Don't talk about her! Anything else, don't talk to me about her! She met me, you know.
Looked right at me.
Didn't see you.
How thick is that? Lois Lane with half a brain.
Don't, don't.
Just stop, just stop now.
Why? I'm asking.
I'm serious.
Tell me, Daddy.
What's the big deal about Claire? The big deal? What? You want to know how I feel about her? How it feels to miss her? You're inside my head, take a look! What is that? What is all that? Nothing you're ready for, stupid child.
Go away! Got him.
He's moving.
Of course he's moving.
He's on a train.
You really don't have the hang of England yet, do you? Find out about that train, I want to know every place it stops.
- I didn't think he had a mobile.
- He must have picked it up somewhere.
We're going to have a location fix on him any second.
Are you ready to go? - Are we ready? - Final checks, five minutes.
Two minutes.
- You're leaving? - Yes.
- I was about to say a few words.
- The facts are not unconnected.
I was just going to inspire the troops.
Well, make up your mind.
See, you're being funny there.
That's that's you being funny, but I don't mind, you know? I I enjoy people with a sense of humour.
Well, we enjoy you, too.
I see, er the blonde in reception isn't working tonight.
So perceptive.
Safe home.
Don't bump it.
Don't bump the corners! OK, people.
Listen up, English people.
You know what tonight is? Tonight is the orgasm.
Tonight is everything this organisation has worked towards ever since it began.
Since it was a desk.
Tonight is the culmination of over one hundred years of planning.
We have in our hands one hundred years of the dreams of brilliant men.
We have at our disposal some of the most advanced, some of the most expensive technology the world has ever seen.
What we do not have are any excuses.
This is going to be bigger than America.
Dr Jackman is coming home.
Now Iook at me.
Look at my face.
Tonight nobody no body screws up.
And in this organisation, when we say nobody, that means you.
Over a hundred years.
Millions of dollars and no screw-ups.
Go! - Thanks for that.
- No problem.
I'm, erm always forgetting mine too.
Enjoyed our chat.
Me too.
Get your men ready.
We got him.
She isn't worth it, by the way.
- Who isn't? - Whoever put that look on your face.
Dump her, you'll feel like a different man.
Now me I always feel like a different man.
Yeah, that's my problem too.
Claire? I'm home.
You all right? It's me.
I'm coming over to see you.
By the time you hear this message, I'll be there.
I have questions, old friend.
Tom? Expecting someone else? The question is, are you? Drink? - No.
- Do you mind if I do? Are your daughters here? No, I think they're in Bulgaria, or one of those countries.
You have company, though? Yes.
I hope you didn't disturb her.
Scotch? - I said I didn't want a drink.
- You might change your mind.
Oh, you've got no idea.
Oh, I'm afraid I do.
Still that girl from reception? My guilty secret.
Which, apparently, everyone knows about.
Know the feeling.
Yes, I imagine you do.
I'm surprised to see you here.
Bit risky, isn't it? You know they're looking for you.
Oh, I've taken precautions.
Of course I'll be there.
Just a bit late, that's all I'm saying.
There's a lot of helicopters about this evening.
I thought we were friends.
Yes, that was the idea.
So - What've you discovered so far? - I'm not in your classroom now.
Then how will you ever learn? There really was a Dr Jekyll.
In Edinburgh, in the 1860s.
- A genius and a visionary.
- Who experimented on himself.
- Courageous too.
- And turned himself into a monster.
A monster? Be objective.
Turned himself into someone else.
Well, more than just "someone", surely? - A demon? - A superman.
- Ha! That's you being objective? - No, no, no.
The human species no longer evolves, remember? We change the world, it no longer changes us.
But at what cost? The millennia pass and Homo sapiens remains unchanged, century after century.
And then one day, Dr Jekyll drinks from a flask and what do you know, there's life in the old girl yet.
- I never drank anything.
- You don't have to.
It's part of your inheritance, your birthright.
- Because I'm his descendant? - Clearly.
- But Henry Jekyll had no children.
- Correct.
I can't be his descendant.
- Correct again.
- Then how come I Did you do that? Was that you? Happens when when I'm holding him in.
Interesting.
There was some contention the change might generate a low-level electrical field.
I'm afraid I was sceptical.
Do you mind if I make a few notes? I'm not a bloody experiment! What on earth gives you that idea? Who's following me? - We are.
- Who's WE? Who do you think? The Institute? Klein & Utterson, the people I worked for? Klein & Utterson exist to follow you.
You are its sole purpose.
Is anything in my life not a lie? Not much, Tom.
I wasn't even really making a note.
- What are you doing? - A very powerful sedative.
- Count backwards from ten.
- You idiot! You bloody idiot! Sit down and let it happen.
There's nothing you can do.
Tom, for God's sake, this is pointless Listen to me! What sends me to sleep wakes him up! You just committed suicide.
- How long have I got? - You should be under by now.
I've got good at hanging on.
- Sit! - What? - Sit on it! Sit! - What what are you doing? Rope.
I need to find rope.
- Tom, this is pointless.
- On the chair! I won't let you tie me up.
I know how dangerous he is.
- He's an animal.
I'm dangerous! - What are you doing? - Sit on the chair! - A knife? You'd never use it, Tom.
If Hyde wakes up now, a knife to your throat, he'll think it's Christmas, sit on the chair! Tom, this is crazy.
What are you? - The wine cellar.
- What? - It locks? - Yes.
It's secure, it could contain him.
What, you're going to lock yourself in? If I let Hyde go free now, he'll run to my children.
He's already been to see them.
He didn't do them any harm.
He tried to save Eddie's life.
That was before I locked him up for weeks.
Why would you do that? Because they're my children, my family, my life, and he's not taking any of it! - Key! - Er desk, top drawer.
Come on.
- What are you doing? - You're coming with me.
- You don't need me.
- I don't trust you anymore.
You're locking me in with Hyde? - Yes, I know.
- I'm tied up! This is inhuman! - Any minute now.
- No, listen to me, Tom.
- They're tracking your phone.
- I don't have one.
They're tracking somebody else's.
- Hello, help! I'm here - Hello.
It's me.
Naughty old me.
Who is this? Who would be following you? From the train, remember? I'm the guy lent you the phone.
Hello, Mr l-Have-That-Problem-Too.
It's Mr I Can-Take-A-Hint.
Help me! Help me! Help me! You could have killed me! Yes, and this is my good side.
Hello? What's happening? Is everything all right? Run! Run for your life, run! Get away from here.
Oh, God! Help me, please! Can anybody hear me? No! - No! - Eat your children.
- No! - Eat your children! - Who's that? - Him.
He got the combination.
Tom, listen, I I need to hide this where he can't find it.
- Tom, Tom I need you to - Open! - What? - Open! Open it! Open! Open.
Swallow.
Swallow.
Swallow it.
Swallow.
Gone? - How will we get out of here now? - I hope you're regular.
You You were on the floor.
How did you? I was calling for help.
She heard me and? I'm really sorry about this.
I never meant for this to happen.
But - she was worried, I asked her over - Who? Tom.
What's wrong? - What are you doing? - Claire.
Don't look.
Please.
Don't look.
Tom? Tom, are you all right? Hi, honey.
I'm home.
Hello? Hello? Hello, can you hear me? Stay still, I'm going to get help.
Don't move! Don't move.
- You're hurt.
- What? You're bleeding.
I don't think it's my blood.
What happened to you? I don't know.
Now, Daddy, this is so much better.
Wine, a woman, a tied-up old guy! OK, not sure about that last one.
Tom? "Tom?" Tom's gone, honey.
Dr Jackman has left the building.
It's the night shift.
Mrs Jackman? Oh, Daddy.
You are spoiling me! Haven't fucked anything in days.
Seriously, a gust of wind and I'd go off.
So I hope you don't have any plans that involve walking straight.
You either.
Where's where's Tom? You just missed him.
Peter? Peter, what is this? What's happening? You wanted to know where your husband goes.
This is where he goes.
I've met you.
You're Billy.
You're Tom's cousin Billy.
Lovely to see you again.
How are the kids? Wh Where's my husband? Your husband's standing right in front of you.
My husband is Tom Jackman.
- Tom Jackman is also Billy.
- No He's both of them.
How can he be two people? You saw it happen.
How can you be two people? What are you? I thought I married a man.
You miscounted.
Claire, be careful.
Never try to hit me, Mrs Jackman, when I haven't eaten.
It's just a tip.
Keep away from me.
Keep away from me! You are going to be fun.
Let's find somewhere more comfortable.
- Did somebody lock us in? - You did.
Oh, Daddy! No! OK.
Where's the key? Come on, come on.
You must have seen him.
Where'd he put it? You got the key? Where is it? Thank you.
Where's the key? You've been dribbling.
Now, why have you been dribbling? Did my daddy make you dribble? Clever Daddy.
You know what? I think I've found the key.
Arrest you? What would I be arresting you for? There's been a murder hasn't there? - That's why you're here.
- Yeah.
Then, arrest me.
It's Jackman.
That's a recorded feed from a security camera inside Syme's house.
- And the phone we're tracking? - In the woods somewhere.
Doesn't matter, that's him.
Awesome.
Tell them no one goes in till I get there.
Fantastiche! Tom, no.
For God's sake, Tom! Tom's gone, love.
Tom's asleep.
Strange as it may seem, I am on your side.
Oh, that's nice.
Thanks for that.
Listen to me.
You've never killed before.
Jackman wouldn't let you.
Are you sure you want to start? You think you can do it? - You've never killed before.
- Stop me if I'm doing it wrong.
- Listen to me! - Oops! Nearly forgot.
Anaesthetic.
Count backwards from ten.
Oh, dear, Mrs Jackman.
It's going to take a bit more than that with me.
Fine! I'm your wife.
Don't ever ask me to hit you.
Just a tip.
- It's the wrong key.
- What? It's too small, it's the wrong key.
You fucking bitch! You Husband, I have questions.
- I'm not your husband.
- What, because you've changed? I don't know what you are.
I don't know if you're schizoid or a werewolf or the first man to discover PMT, but, honey, yes, you are my husband.
So What the hell do you mean, you haven't fucked anything in days? - You're not serious? - Look at me.
- I'm not your husband.
- You're Tom Jackman.
- No.
We just share a dick.
- Yeah, and it's mine.
- How many? - How many what? Girls, women, little boys? How many? - I don't know.
- You don't know? - I'm not married to you! - Yes, you are.
Get used to it.
How many? I fuck.
I go out, I fuck.
I don't count.
Jesus! What kind of animal are you? Maybe if Dr Jackman was getting any, I wouldn't always wake up with a hard-on.
I try.
He won't let me anywhere near him.
He can't.
He's afraid he'll turn into me.
- Would he? - What if he did? Why would I turn him into you? Oh, Mrs Jackman.
You'd turn any man into me.
Are you flirting with me? Don't flirt with me.
- I was your husband a minute ago.
- That's the problem! Why'd you have to go out fucking everything in sight? Why didn't you tell me about this? I am telling you.
The other you, the real you.
I AM the real me.
OK.
Tell me this.
Are you using protection? I need to know.
I have children.
- Are you using protection? - Yes, yes.
He makes me.
Great.
Very considerate.
Just lovely.
- Ever consider using restraint? - Too close, Mrs Jackman.
Don't put your hands in the cage.
You threatening me? Warning you.
I spent an entire evening with you.
You played with my children.
Our children.
Why should I be afraid of you? Because I'm not your husband, and I don't know when to stop.
Then why did you warn me? - Your clothes don't fit.
- They're not mine.
Turn around for me.
- What? - On the spot.
Twirl, husband.
You're taller than him.
Bit slimmer.
Younger.
Maybe five years, maybe more.
I remember that arse.
- What else is different? - Check here Dream on.
What about memories? Do you have his memories? No.
Bits and pieces, sometimes.
Places and faces.
I look at you and know exactly what you look like naked.
- No, you don't.
- How can you be so sure? You went elsewhere.
You flirting with me, Mrs Jackman? Torturing you.
I think his name is Syme, and this is his house.
That's right.
- You're in his house.
- Yes, I'm in his house.
- In that dress! - He doesn't think of me that way.
- And what were you thinking?! - What? - While you fucked half of London? - I'm not your husband! Then, why are you jealous? So how do you two work it? How do you live? Usually we have an arrangement.
Recently he's been chaining me up.
- What changed? - I found about you.
- And the kids.
Where you live.
- And that worried him? - I make threats.
- Why? - I don't like being chained up.
- Not threats you'd carry out.
Don't come any closer, Mrs Jackman.
I don't know what I'd do.
When the light flickers, you look at it like it means something.
- You're quick! - Why? What does it mean? I think he can hear your voice.
I want to talk to him.
He's not strong enough to come through.
What does that mean? - Tom! - Listen, no time.
Syme's one of them, you can't trust them.
You've got to Got to what? What do you mean? - Stupid Mrs Jackman.
- Don't call me stupid.
Thank you.
Gonna need the key.
- I can take it.
- You won't hurt me.
You're Tom Jackman, - I know you won't.
- I'm not your husband.
No! - What have you done? - It was your idea.
- His idea.
- You, him, same thing.
- Stupid bitch! - You threatened my children.
- You're not leaving.
- I need the key.
- You're not going to hurt me.
- I'll get that key back any way I can.
You've never killed anyone before.
You won't start with me.
If I've never killed before, how do I know I wouldn't enjoy it? You are Tom Jackman.
You would never hurt me.
Oh, Mrs Jackman, I'd hurt you.
So, Dr Jackman, you killed your wife.
Yes.
But you don't have any memory of the incident? You just know? I have episodes.
Violent episodes.
Keep me here long enough and you'll see.
You should put me in restraints.
So you keep saying.
We don't deem it necessary.
Please.
For your own sake.
Excuse me.
Can I see my wife? Please.
I just need to see what he What I did.
Please.
- What's wrong? - Apparently you're being transferred.
Got to give me credit, I'm one hell of a kisser.
Didn't really think you'd swallow it.
- What if I had? - I had a back-up plan.
- I don't believe you.
- You should.
Tom.
- Tom, what are we going to do? - I'm not Tom.
Oh, you're Tom, all right.
You're just I don't know sick.
Some weird new kind of sick.
I don't think they're gonna find a cure for it soon.
Do you? We don't have to.
There's been a cure for over 50 years.
Mrs Jackman, would you please step away from Mr Hyde? Gentlemen, could you lower your weapons? I'd hate to be taking back a corpse because one of y'all sneezed.
Thank you.
Good to see you again.
How are you going to take me anywhere when I know you can't shoot me? You see that's a funny thing.
We really didn't expect you to become so attached to Dr Jackman's family.
Now there's there's a weakness, Mr Hyde.
Are you threatening my family? Hello, it's me, Benjamin.
The word is, "go".
I said, are you threatening my family? Excuse me for a moment.
Yeah.
I am.
Explicitly and directly and emphatically threatening the lives of Dr Jackman's family.
That's all I wanted to know.
There now, Benjamin.
It'll be over in a moment.
It's all right.
Hush, now.
Count backwards from ten.
I'm sorry, Benjamin can't come to the phone, right now.
- Aah - Mr Hyde.
Don't want you to move.
Please.
- You have orders not to kill me, right? - First casualty of conflict, orders.
As far as this conflict goes, I'd say Benjamin might beg to differ.
Can't tell you how fast I am.
But I'll tell you this.
First one of you starts getting nervous, starts pulling that trigger dead.
Then I'll have a gun.
That's the next two dead.
Third one kills me, then dies of his injuries.
So what you guys have got to ask yourselves is this How much did I like my boss? I don't think you're faster than a bullet, but then I'm not supposed to kill you.
And personally I couldn't stand the guy.
Mmm Mrs Jackman? - Yes? - I'm sorry but I did like it.
Ssh Can I call you? Gentlemen! If any harm should come to Mrs Jackman, I will kill all of you one by one.
And I shall take my time! Hope you find a nicer boss.
- No problem, we'll pull him in.
- Don't bother.
He's got blood on his hands.
Hyde'll run, but Jackman will return.
Well, Benjamin seems to be dead.
I think we should probably tidy up a bit and, er I don't know phone the police.
Anyone got an aspirin? Can I see my wife? Please.
I just need to see what he What I did.
