- Dr Lanyon received a letter, from Dr Jekyll, instructing him to retrieve a drawer containing some poweders, a phial and a note book. He is also instructed to give the drawer to a man at midnight who will come in Dr Jekyll’s name.
- Dr Lanyon goes to house, breaks into the locked room and retrieved the drawer.
- At midnight he meets up with the mystery man. This man is quiet anxious and seems to desperately want the drawer.
- Mr Lanyon gave him the drawer. Now, the man warned Mr Lanyon that what was about to happen was of a strange nature and that it was recommended he left.
- Mr Lanyon stayed. Now the man started to mix the powders and the liquid in the phial together. He bow drank it.
- The once unknown man transformed into Dr Jekyll.
- Mr Lanyon realised the mystery man was Mr Hyde, which meant, Dr Jekyll was a murderer.
- Poole arrives at Mr Utterson’s house fearing that Dr Jekyll had been murdered.
“I think there’s been foul play,” said Poole, hoarsely.”
- Mr Utterson arrives at the house and finds out that Dr Jekyll has tried to order a drug from a pharmacy on the other side of the city.
“The drug is bitterly sought after”
- Mr Utterson and Poole find out it’s Hyde in the room; they break down the door.
“Ah, that’s not Jekyll’s voice–it’s Hyde’s!” cried Utterson. “Down with the door, Poole!”
- Once they enter the room they see Hyde committed suicide; no trace of Jekyll is found.
“Right in the middle there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching. They drew near on tiptoe, turned it on its back and beheld the face of Edward Hyde.” “Or he may have fled,” said Utterson, and he turned to examine the door in the by-street. It was locked; and lying near by on the flags, they found the key, already stained with rust.”
