FADE TO

INT. CHURCH - LATE AFTERNOON

The CAMERA fades in on a statue of the Virgin Mary. Blood streams down her two eyes - the camera follows the stream - it goes down all the way to the bottom of the statue. A miracle.

The CAMERA widens, revealing a very gothic, yet strangely secure looking church. Pews line up both sides of the wide room. Stain glass windows are all over the walls.

RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STATUE

is an altar of some sort, with hundreds upon hundreds of unlit candles scattered amoung various mythical-looking things.

CHRIS AND LEON are sitting on a pew, playing 'go fish' with rather pornographic cards. The imagery is slightly blurry.

CHRIS
When are you gonna get a name?

Leon looks up at him and smiles sweetly.

LEON
You know what my name is.

CHRIS
(chuckles)
Oh, yeah. Mr. Yaoi.
(then)
Have any 6s?

LEON
I have a 6. And a 6. And a
6.
(shakes his head)
Go fish.

Chris does so.

LEON
Do we have the same name?

CHRIS
I don't know. I've never really
thought about that.

LEON
Well, maybe it's time you
should. I've been thinking
it since Raccoon.

CHRIS
Any fours?

LEON
Go fish.

CHRIS
(he goes fish)
Raccoon is dead and buried.
It was always the sacrificial
stone, anyway.

OVER CHRIS' SHOULDER a shadow bounces on a stain-glass window of Jesus Christ.

LEON
Something new's coming up.

CHRIS
You mean, a new friend?

FLASH CUT: Leon being ripped in half.

LEON
Quite the opposite. Only
Jill really knows about it.
Here I am, torn apart
limb from limb.

FLASH CUT: Claire impaled on The Being's claws.

LEON
And Claire's in the morgue
being treated for chronic
impalement.

Leon stands up and begins walking down the center aisle.

FLASH CUT: Ada standing at the church altar, blowing out a candle.

CHRIS
Where you off to? We haven't
finished yet.

LEON
That's the point, Redfield.
You gotta think wide. Jill's
the only one that can take
care of herself.

SMASH TO

INT. SEWERS - RACCOON CITY - NIGHT

JILL, CHRIS, BARRY and REBECCA, decked out in S.T.A.R.S. gear complete with weaponry and high-tech commando gear, hurry through the sewers in high-tail persuit of something evil. Probably.

BARRY
Hurry! We gotta find the famous
purple stuffed worm in flap jaw
space with the hole tuning fork
before it does a raw flip on hari
kiri rock!

REBECCA
We've been chasing it for hours.
And Chris keeps stepping on the
back of my shoes. It's rude.

CHRIS
Someone's gotta keep you in line.

A SMALL EXPLOSION rings out somewhere inside the maze of sewer pipes. Jill turns around.

JILL
I know where that's coming from.

BARRY
You always seem to.

REBECCA
Lead the way, Valentine.

CHRIS
(glumly)
Yeah, lead us to death's door.

Jill pauses, looks to Chris directly in his eyes.

JILL
I thought that was your job.

CHRIS
It's not.

JILL
Is it? You let your sister
get killed. And Leon.
(immediately)
Sorry.

CHRIS
No. You're right. I killed
them.

Rebecca rolls her eyes.

REBECCA
We ain't underground by
accident.

BARRY
There's only a select few that
can handle us.

JILL
(nods)
Apparitions.

BOOM. They all stop, listen.

BARRY
It's coming from Nowhere Land.

REBECCA
I'm pretty sure I heard it
above us.

JILL
Actually -

CHRIS
No. Guys, follow me.

Chris begins walking down the corridor, with knee-high sewer water. At the faaar end of the corridor, is a metal door, with light shining through it.

BARRY AND REBECCA follow Chris without hesitation, but Jill hangs back.

JILL
(distractedly)
I'm gonna go and live.

BARRY
Fine, but call us.


Jill hurries through an intersecting corridor, disappearing out of sight.

HIGH SHOT - Chris walking towards the camera, a steely determination on his face, with Barry and Rebecca scurrying behind him like mindless groupies.

BARRY
He's blessed with a heart.

REBECCA
But it's as cold as ice and
broken twice.

CHRIS
So I walk with an axe.

BARRY
With spiked brown hair.

REBECCA
And blue contacts.

BARRY
Straight maniac.

Chris stops in front of the door, his hand on the knob. He turns to Barry.

CHRIS
Straight?

BARRY
Straight as an arrow.

CHRIS' POV: He looks over to Rebecca, who smiles at him sweetly. However, a FLASH CUT momentarily transforms her into a snarling hell-snake-woman, ala Ada in Leon's dream.

CHRIS
(unfazed)
I'm gonna open the door.

REBECCA
You know what the consequences
will be.

BARRY
We'll just end up in the
waiting room with your sister.

CHRIS
It's a risk I'm willing to
take.

CLOSE UP - Chris' hand grabbing the handle, pulling the door open. LIGHT spills into the sewer corridor.

FLASHCUT: Barry and Rebecca's gutted, mutilated bodies hung on a tree by their intestines.

SMASH CUT

INT. ANTARCTIC BASE - DAY

The large room in CV that's almost completely covered with ice. You know, the one with the large spider boss? That one. CHRIS stands on the middle of the ice, unmoving.

CHRIS
(sadly)
I lost them.

ADA (O.S.)
Are you surprised?

Chris turns to see ADA approaching him, wearing all-white. Chris also now has a very dead (or asleep) CLAIRE lying in his arms, but he doesn't react to that.

CHRIS
Who are you?

ADA
(smiles)
Seems like everyone but Leon
asks me that. I'm the light.

CHRIS
The light? What does that
make me?

ADA
The blind. I have to try
explaining your element.

CHRIS
Self inflicted pain?

ADA
(nods)
Look down.

CHRIS' POV: On the ice below his feet is a rune symbol. It looks like an "N".

CHRIS
Strength.

ADA
The sacrificial animal. Uruz.
Honour your passage into dark
ness. Honor the dying. Hold
the new life... for it has
promises unimagined by the old.

Chris looks down at his sister, inert and unconscious. Ada's no longer in sight.

WESKER (O.S.)
Chris Redfield.

Chris sees WESKER approaching him, smiling villainously. Claire's now gone.

CHRIS
(shocked)
Dad.

WESKER
I've been looking all over
for you.

Wesker walks over to him and puts on his sunglasses.

WESKER
You've been a bad son.

CHRIS
I... I have a lot of things
to do...

WESKER
Like what, get your friends
killed? You seem to be good
at that.

CHRIS
But, dad...

WESKER
You may think you're tough,
Redfield, you know, and I
know, and your mother knows
that you're the weakest god
damn son of a bitch the
Universe has ever had the
disgrace to bring into being.
You're a monster. A child of dirt
born into a family of diamonds.

Chris says nothing. He looks down, sadly, the words stinging him like a dentist drill.

WESKER
Did I make my little boy
cry?

Wesker GRABS Chris by the head by both hands. Wesker's arms are strangely dark and ragged... much like the arms of a certain monster haunting the dreams of some certain people.

Chris is too intimidated and scared to move or say anything.

WESKER
You're nothing but a pawn.

THE BEING (who has replaced Wesker) SNAPS Chris' neck viciously. Chris' lifeless body falls onto the ice with a sickening crack.

SMASH TO

INT. JILL'S LIVING ROOM - THE REAL WORLD

Chris JERKS in his sleep wildly, spasms ripping through his unconscious body like 1000 volts of electricity.
