Actually, I got started on something
and lost track of time.
Oh, yes, Jekyll.
Heath was telling me that you're still
carrying on with that research work.
Dr. Heath isn't in sympathy,
Dr. Courtland.
That's understandable, isn't it?
After all, separating the facets
of the brain.
Rather ambitious, I should call that.
the brain...
...into something more intangible
than the mind.
Then all that seems to be left is the soul.
All right, then, call it the soul.
The soul?
Come, come, my dear doctor.
Now you're invading my territory.
I suppose I am, but I know
that you wouldn't object...
...if science could be of help
to the church.
for any help, doctor.
Harry doesn't mean a word of this.
I'm afraid he's pulling our leg.
I should hope so. I was wondering
...if I asked him to elaborate.
- I don't mind elaborating.
If you didn't see that poor chap
in church this morning...
...you heard him, I'm sure.
Thank you for your assistance.
- Hopelessly insane, obviously.
- I don't think he was insane.
I think there was only one side of him
expressing itself.
- Good heavens, which side?
- His evil side.
The man was spiritually distorted
through shock.
That explosion in the gas main
last month.
Before that, he was a fine,
solid citizen...
...kind with his children,
deeply in love with his wife.
Since then, he had undergone
a complete change...
...until this afternoon I found him
completely reverted to the animal.
We can clearly understand a shock
to the nervous system...
...but how does that affect the soul?
I think he was shocked
from normal good into complete evil.
When I say he was a good man...
...I don't mean he hadn't had
a bad thought.
Or that he hadn't committed ordinary
transgressions against society.
But, after all, that's the problem
of civilized man's soul, isn't it?
That good and evil are constantly
fighting one another?
There's a higher source from which
good can find aid in its fight.
I realize that, but...
The colonel and I have always felt that
a person can be good if they wish to be.
- And, well, otherwise if they don't.
- Jekyll, I simply must get this straight.
Well, let me put it this way:
Good and evil are so close as to be
chained together in the soul.
Suppose we could break that chain,
separate those two selves...
...free the good in man, and let it go to
its higher destiny and segregate the bad.
But aren't you a bit presumptuous
in assuming that there's evil in all men?
But isn't that true? Wouldn't we be
hypocrites if we didn't admit that?
We've all had thoughts that we didn't
