Poole expresses concern for Dr. Jekyll

Poole was Dr. Henry Jekyll's faithful butler. He was in charge of all of the doctor's house servants, and had worked for Jekyll for twenty years and knew all his habits and quirks. When he suspected that Jekyll's "friend" Edward Hyde had murdered him and then shut himself up in the doctor's study, Poole sent immediately for Jekyll's lawyer Utterson, little suspecting that Jekyll and Hyde were one and the same. Returning with Utterson, Poole used an axe to batter down the study door, where the pair found that Edward Hyde had committed suicide rather than be captured.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931)

When Mr. Hyde, fleeing from police, breaks into the Jekyll residence and barricaded himself in the laboratory, Poole assisted the constable in breaking the door down...only to discover a frazzled Henry Jekyll. Dr. Lanyon arrived soon after and revealed Hyde and Jekyll were the same person. Jekyll transformed into Hyde before their horrified eyes, and was shot dead by a police inspector. As Hyde transformed back into Jekyll in death, Poole wept for his dead master.
