[Eerie instrumental music]

[Footsteps approaching]

Who's there?

I said, who's there?

[Thudding]

[Shrieking]

[Cat meows]

[Sighing in relief]

[Eerie instrumental music continues]

[Horse neighing]

WOMAN: Sir!

HYDE: Oh dear, dear, dear.

[Hyde chuckling]

Sir--

[Muffled screams]

[Hyde grunting]

[Tense instrumental music]

[Screaming stops]

[Laughing maniacally]

[Carriage approaches]

JEKYLL: l have it. Take me to her.

COACHMAN: Yes, master.

[Tense instrumental music]

GUARD: She's been waiting. JEKYLL: As have l.

[Church bells ringing]

[Cawing]

[Eerie instrumental music]

[Fast-paced instrumental music]

CARL: Van Helsing, that last target was a civilian.

CARL: You know, one of the innocents you Knights of the Holy Order...

are sworn to protect from the dark forces?

l don't know, Carl. l thought l detected...

a hint of demonic influence in its beady little eyes.

Beady?

CARDlNAL: Van Helsing, Carl.

Cardinal Jinette.

You are needed.

[Tense instrumental music]

CARDlNAL: Next tableau.

CARDlNAL: And there, the second victim.

Next tableau.

Victim three, what they could find of her.

And again...

the latest victim.

Those women died at the hands of a monster.

But, from eyewitness accounts, one who was once a man.

Keep in mind that this man's soul can still be saved.

Not every soul deserves to be.

Van Helsing, since time immemorial...

the Knights of the Holy Order have served and sacrificed...

as humanity's protectors from an evil so ancient...

all have forgotten it but we few.

That monster showed no mercy to those women.

To remain true to our calling...

we must believe all souls are worthy of salvation.

Stop him. Save him.

First, someone's got to find him.

London is a city of aImost four miIIion peopIe.

Shouldn't be a problem, Carl. The murders were committed...

in the same small section of the city...

and all with a surgeon's scalpel.

That suggests the murderer resides in the area...

and is involved in the study of medicine.

Of course, a scientist! We see this all the time.

We do?

CARL: When their studies exhaust them...

they're tempted to take the easy way out...

to find whatever it is they're looking for.

The unholy way, you mean.

Using the dark arts to change from man to monster.

No doubt caIIing forth demonic famiIiars to serve him.

And would you have it any other way?

This l like.

[Fast-paced instrumental music]

[Woman screaming]

[Panting]

VAN HELSlNG: Put her down!

Happy to oblige.

Oopsie!

COACHMAN: lt's him, l tell you. He's the killer!

Get him, Iads!

Tell the hangman Mr. Hyde says hello.

Don't let him get away!

[Tense instrumental music]

[Panting]

COACHMAN: Bloody hell, he's gone.

Like a bIooming ghost.

[Hyde laughing manically]

[Fast-paced instrumental music]

[Hyde laughing]

[Grunting]

VAN HELSlNG: Perfect.

A monster who stops to wipe his feet.

Clever, whoever you are.

But not clever enough.

LADY lN WAlTlNG: Ma'am, Dr. Jekyll has arrived.

QUEEN VlCTORlA: He may enter.

You are Iate this evening, Doctor.

We grew concerned.

JEKYLL: Your Majesty, you should know by now...

that nothing and no one shall ever keep me from you.

We are comforted by that.

We do look forward to your visits.

Whatever medicinal miracle it is...

you conjure up from your concoctions...

we feel better and better after each of your visits.

JEKYLL: As do l, Your Majesty.

QUEEN VlCTORlA: Truly, we do not know what we would do without you.

Oh, my.

[Queen Victoria groaning]

QUEEN VlCTORlA: Everything is so twirly.

l'll take care of her now.

Yes, master.

JEKYLL: After you.

[Dramatic instrumental music]

JEKYLL: Careful, Your Majesty.

I wouIdn't want you to faII.

To have you so close to me...

l cannot help but recall the first time l gazed upon you...

so many years ago.

You were the very fIower of womanhood...

newIy on the throne.

I was a mere youth...

an impoverished student of the medicaI arts.

And though I was just one of thousands in the crowd that day...

I knew you saw me, too, and shared my Iove.

Don't fret, my dear.

You'll soon remember everything as l do.

But l do remember something.

l'm the Queen. And you, my brilliant doctor....

You've been treating me for that horrid illness that makes me feel...

as if l were a doddering old relic.

How better to prove the depth of my love for you.

JEKYLL: Now welcome, dear heart, to what will soon be our new home...

away from prying eyes.

After our marriage, of course.

Marriage?

But am l not still ill?

You shall have your medicine every night...

to keep you young and mine forever.

[Church bells ringing]

VAN HELSlNG: Stop squirming.

CARL: lf you bought me the proper-sized corset, l wouldn't squirm.

There. A vision of loveliness.

l told the Cardinal when he got your cable:

l am not a field man.

There's not much danger of you being mistaken for any kind of man, Carl.

You put on too much powder. And this lip rouge with this scarf?

No real lady would be caught dead....

Perhaps not the best choice of words.

Carl, for a friar, you know an awful lot about lip rouge.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Even being demon bait.

lt's not as if l could put an innocent life at risk.

What about my innocent life?

VAN HELSlNG: lf you think this is beyond the scope of your calling--

Don't worry. l know exactly what l'm doing.

That's what worries me.

Come on, ducky, what do you say? Let us buy you a pint.

CARL: l don't know.

Would you happen to be a gentleman of medicine?

lf that's your fancy, girly...

l can play doctor with the best of--

[Groaning]

Physician, heal thyself.

Men, they're all the same.

Should we try another street corner?

CARL: Van Helsing, where are you hiding now?

CARL: lt's about time you showed up.

Sorry to keep you waiting, milady.

l am not a lady!

That's all right. l'm not a gentleman.

[Laughing]

[Dramatic instrumental music]

You've only got one way out of this.

l know.

HYDE: You're no policeman. VAN HELSlNG: You don't miss much.

[Carl yelling]

The fetching lady friend.

VAN HELSlNG: Stay there.

[Train bell ringing]

[Van Helsing grunting]

[Tense instrumental music]

Don't shoot! l have no money.

[Train whistle blowing]

l beg your pardon.

Can you guess what happens next?

[Hyde laughing manically]

[Tense instrumental music]

[Train whistle blowing]

This is where you get off.

CARL: Van Helsing, how did you get here?

VAN HELSlNG: l put on the brakes. How did you get here?

Well, according to the map...

after 9:00 the Marylebone line shuts--

VAN HELSlNG: Let's go see what's left of our friend.

VAN HELSlNG: l don't understand.

How can l keep losing the trail of something so big?

-What's this? -lt's my new invention:

La Santa PistoIa di Acqua.

VAN HELSlNG: The Holy Water Pistol?

[Carl agreeing]

CARL: l thought it might come in handy sometime.

VAN HELSlNG: lt might.

lt's as if the Holy Water made contact with something--

Unholy.

[Holy water vaporizing]

VAN HELSlNG: Wherever he's going, he's following this sewer line.

[Suspenseful instrumental music]

VAN HELSlNG: We've reached the end of the line.

[Grunting]

Decaying flesh and sulfur.

This is his Iair.

Exactly how do you propose we cross that flaming moat of certain death?

The same way Hyde must have: those stepping stones.

VAN HELSlNG: l'll go first, shall l?

l could have been a Franciscan.

But no.

CARL: l had to travel, see the world.

Well done.

Carl, look out!

EIizabethan, sixteenth century. I know those uniforms.

VAN HELSlNG: They're beefeaters. CARL: Of the dead!

Carl, in our line of work, there's dead...

and there's dead.

AII right, that's settIed.

They're reaIIy dead.

Van Helsing!

[Tense instrumental music]

Up the stairs.

-Carl, the PistoIa! -Of course!

[Unearthly screaming]

[Enlightening instrumental music]

-That'll work. -That'll work.

CARL: Van Helsing, listen...

l'm truly sorry for calling you an arrogant, reckless popinjay.

VAN HELSlNG: You never called me an arrogant, reckless popinjay.

CARL: Well, not to your face.

QUEEN VlCTORlA: Dr. Jekyll, are you there?

Who are you?

-Gabriel Van Helsing, Miss. -And l'm--

You should not be here, Mr. Van Helsing.

Don't mind me.

l'm not certain you should be here, Miss.

Very humorous, sir. But you please me.

So you may address me as ''ma'am.''

All right, ma'am. Who's Dr. Jekyll?

QUEEN VlCTORlA: My physician. l have been very ill.

lll? With what? You look fine to me.

l'm not sure.

That's something we can talk about later.

Right now, you have to leave this place.

Are you giving me an order?

Pretty much.

Sir, since it is obvious you do not recognize me...

l am Alexandrina Victoria Wettin, by the Grace of God...

of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and lreland...

Queen, Defender of the Faith.

Queen Victoria?

Seriously?

CarI, meet Queen Victoria.

Van Helsing, Queen Victoria is a worthy matron...

of a certain age.

And this is an unholy lair where all manner of enchantment is possible.

Whatever are you two speaking about?

We know we're looking for someone trained in medicine...

so why not consider the doctor who's been treating the Queen?

-The Royal Physician? -His name is Dr. Jekyll.

And we are to be married.

VAN HELSlNG: When? QUEEN VlCTORlA: Tonight.

Once we are wed, he can give me my medicine every night.

So l shan't ever be ill again.

lt fits, Carl.

A man of medicine in love with the Queen...

driven to restore her youth, looking for the easy way.

lf Dr. Jekyll has concocted a potion...

that uses the life he stole from his victims to give Victoria youth--

Then if they marry, these murders will never stop.

l have no idea what you're prattling on about.

What murders?

Why would l need someone to give me youth?

-l'm only 20 years old. -Your Majesty...

you're 70.

And you were married for decades.

You also have nine offspring, all grown...

and more grandchildren than any man can count.

l think you and your friend should see a doctor of your own....

QUEEN VlCTORlA: Dr. Jekyll!

Stand back, Victoria! l'll save you.

JEKYLL: Come, Victoria. QUEEN VlCTORlA: Where?

Where we can be safe together.

[Van Helsing groaning]

l admit, l don't have much experience...

but this is not going well, is it?

That way!

[Carl panting]

A dumbwaiter shaft?

How are we to use it without someone up there to pull the rope?

CARL: Fly? VAN HELSlNG: Good idea.

-Carl, grab hold. -Of what?

[Carl screams]

-That worked. -Maybe for you.

QUEEN VlCTORlA: Please, Doctor, you must explain!

Oh, my goodness! This is Buckingham Palace.

And that's the GoIden JubiIee BaIIoon!

Your Majesty! Victoria, stop! You're in danger.

Wait, Doctor.

They said the strangest things.

About you and me.

Lies! All lies!

lnto the basket with her.

[Queen Victoria screaming]

Cut the rope!

CARL: Don't wait for me!

[Tense instrumental music]

We're carrying extra weight.

JEKYLL: Whoever that meddler is, l won't let him take you from me.

l won't!

Doctor, what are you doing?

You're safe now.

-Why are you doing this? -For your love.

No! He'll never take you! Not from me.

Victoria.

Forgive me, my love.

l have no other way to keep you with me.

Stay behind me.

-Who are you? -What you fear most.

[Queen Victoria screaming]

[Tense instrumental music continues]

You had your chance.

l'm not here to kill you.

l'm here to save you.

-Too late. -Good.

[Groaning]

[Laughing maniacally]

[Queen Victoria screaming]

[Hyde laughing]

[Groaning]

[Queen Victoria screaming]

[Hyde screams]

Victoria.

[Fast-paced instrumental music]

Damn you!

Van Helsing, l can't!

Just lie back, close your eyes, and think of England.

That wasn't so bad.

l agree. lt was awful.

[Door squeaking open]

Your Majesty, as l understand such things...

the light of day will lift the enchantment and restore you.

So l will bid you farewell.

But wait.

There's so much more.... l mean....

l must reward you.

-That's really not necessary. -Vow of poverty, and all that.

Not all rewards must be material.

For your reward, you may kiss your queen...

on the royal cheek.

l would be honored, ma'am.

Psst.

We are not amused.

Guards!

VAN HELSlNG: Let's go! QUEEN VlCTORlA: Guards!

You'll need to report to the Cardinal in person.

-What do l say? -This isn't over.
