Eventually, Jekyll confesses to Utterson that he is Hyde and has created a serum to separate his good and evil sides. The transformation allows him to indulge his baser instincts without damaging his public image. However, the drug begins to work involuntarily, turning him into Hyde even while he sleeps. Realizing he is losing control, Jekyll writes a full account of his experiments before committing suicide. Utterson and Poole break down the laboratory door to find Jekyll's body transformed back into Hyde.
