The Tone Is Grim, Suspenseful, And Ominous, As The Chapter Centers Around The Aftermath Of A Violent Crime And The Pursuit Of The Criminal.

A year later, a brutal murder shocks London: Sir Danvers Carew is beaten to death by Mr. Hyde, witnessed by a maid. Mr. Utterson identifies the victim and recognizes the murder weapon as the cane he gave to Dr. Jekyll. Hyde's home is investigated, revealing signs of a hasty departure.

In October, London is horrified by the violent murder of Sir Danvers Carew, a distinguished individual. A maid witnesses Mr. Hyde meeting Carew on the street, erupting in anger, and savagely beating him to death. She faints from shock, only waking hours later to alert the police. Mr. Utterson is notified of the murder when a sealed envelope for him, found on the victim, prompts a police visit. Recognizing the broken cane at the crime scene as one he had gifted to Dr. Jekyll, Utterson leads the police to Hyde's residence. They find the rooms in disarray, articles of clothing scattered, and Hyde's half of the murder weapon. Evidence indicates Hyde's hurried exit and suggests a connection to Dr. Jekyll. Inspector Newcomen of Scotland Yard is confident of Hyde's capture, noting the trail of clues left behind.
