0:00.0	In his seminal work, Jekyll and Hyde, Robert Louis Stevenson explored the bizarre and frightening duality of man.
0:19.3	A good man may commit evil deeds, a friend may become a foe, our most beloved
0:25.2	of true loves may turn stranger than fiction before our very eyes. While we fear those beasts
