INT. MANSION-FOYER.

A giant room with a thin red carpet, starting at The giant double front door, and working Their way to The large grand staircase. A large double door is at The The left hand side, and a smaller one, and a just a one door, at The right hand side. A big painting is at The stairs flight. Giant white pillars and woodwork can also be seen on The walls. a small table with an old typing machine is by The staircase. The entire room is lighted with a huge chandalier and smaller lamps on The wall.

Chris, Jill, and Wesker stand in front of The staircase, and looking around, nervously.

CHRIS
What The hell just happened?

WESKER
Wow! What a mansion!

JILL
Barry! Captain Wesker, where is Barry?

Jill runs to The front door door, and is about to open it, when Wesker pulls her back.

WESKER
Are You nuts? Don't open that door! Those things are out There!

JILL
But this must mean... No!

CHRIS
Excuse me for interupting, but is this The Spencer Mansion?

WESKER
What?

JILL
But it can't be! The Spencer Mansion has to be abandoned! This place looks brand new! The electricity is working, and...

A distant gunshot is heard.

WESKER
Huh?

JILL
A gunshot! It might be Barry!

CHRIS
Or maybe it's one of The Bravos!

WESKER
It looks like it came from The left wing. Well, Jill. Are You going?

JILL
Sure!

CHRIS
Then I'm going too! Barry is one of oldest comrades and partners!

Chris and Jill ran to The double door at The left wing. Chris pulls The hendle and The door, open easily.

CHRIS
Hmm... It's open.

Chris and Jill enter through The double doors.

INT. MANSION-DINING ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

A large room, made of marble. The only furniture is a very long table, The dishes on it filled with dust, The chairs around The table, and a grandfaTher clock. A huge firepalce, with a gothic emblem above it, is at The back of The room. Second floor, in a form of a balcony, can be seen above.

Chris and Jill stand in The room, shocked by its splendor.

CHRIS
This must be The dining room. Its condition looks pretty good for a mansion that has been unoccupied for The last thirty years.

JILL
You're telling me!

As They make Their way to The fireplace, we see a small door on right hand side.
Chris spots a large puddle by The fireplace.

CHRIS
Jill, check this out!

Chris kneels down to The puddle, and inspects it.

JILL
What is it?

CHRIS
Looks like blood... Listen, (points at The small door) can You ceck what's behind that door?

JILL
Doesn't look like I got much choice.

Jill opens The door walks into The dark hallway behind it.

INT. MANSION-FIRST FLOOR-HALLWAY.

Jill sniffs te air around her, as she makes her way down a splended, but dark, hall with beautiful paintings. She stops in disgust.

JILL
Oh! God, this place smells like slaughter house on a sunny day!

As Jill turns The corner, she stops and backs away in terror.

INT. MANSION-HALL-TEA ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

We see The corner of The hall, furnished with a Persian rug, a couch, a tea table, and a large painting of The Spencer Estate.

Huddled in front of this, is a MAN, his cloThes torn and blood stained. A sole patch of black hair is covering his exposed skull. We only see his back. In his arms is a body of anoTher MAN, in a S.T.A.R.S. uniform. We hear a wet, crunching, sound. A large puddle of blood stains The rug.

A head falls to The floor. Kenneth's head. As it rolls over, we see that The left side has been eaten away, an exposed half of a skull. The oTher turns his face to Jill. It is an anoTher death mask. Cheecks are sunken, and The skin is peeling. There are two black circles around The eyes. The zombie moans, stands up, and turns towards Jill. Jill screams and runs down The hall, to The door that leads to The dining room.

INT. MANSION-DINING ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris is still inspecting The dining room, when The small door comes flying open, and Jill runs out.

JILL
Chris!

We see The zombie, slowly pursuing Jill.

CHRIS
Oh, Fuck! Jill! Get down!

As Jill ducks, Chris starts firing into The zombie, after a few shots, it grunts, and falls to The floor.

CHRIS
Shit! What is this?!

JILL
(standing up)
This is exactly what I was telling in The police precinct! This thing... Just like The one in The morgue! And Kenneth... He's...

CHRIS
No... Where is he?

Jill, without answering leads Chris to The small door.

INT. MANSION-DINING ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris and Jill stare at Kenneth's headless corpse, with The head a few feet away.

CHRIS
He... He din't deserve to die like this. It's not fair!

JILL
I know... Chris, I've been thinking, since Kenneth is... Um... Dead, and it looks like he has some extra bullets. Do You think...

CHRIS
Sure. We need those more than him.

Chris kneels over to Kenneth's lifeless bady, and inspects The sie pack, still ties to The body. Chris takes out four clips of handgun bullets, and gives two to Jill.

CHRIS
Well, got to go face Wesker.

JILL
We might as well.

They walk back to The door.


INT. MANSION-FOYER.

Wesker is missing. Chris and Jill look at each oTher in confusion.


CHRIS
Wesker!

The only respond is echo.

JILL
Where could he go?

CHRIS
Well... We might check The second floor first.

JILL
We might as well.

Chris and Jill climb The stairs.

INT. MANSION-SECOND FLOOR-STAIRS LANDING-RIGHT WING.
Chris and JILL stand in front of door, by The stair landing. They are staring, in terror, at a huge blood stain, by The door.

JILL
Chris... The blood... It might be one of The Bravos...


CHRIS
We might a well go check.

Chris and Jill open The door, and walk into The dark passage behind it.

EXT. MANSION-SECOND FLOOR-VERANDAH-NIGHT.

A long, but narrow, balcony style verandah. It is dark outside, but The room is lighted with small electric lights on The walls. Ivy trellis covers The walls.

Chris and Jill sigh with relief.

JILL
Finally! fresh air!

CHRIS
Yeah, that stench almost choke me!

A crow's cry is heard. Chris and Jill run to The end of The verandah, and see a black crow fly away form Forest's body. He is slumped in a sitting position against a railing. Jill screams. Chris kneels over to Forest's body.

CHRIS
Oh, Jesus, man! Forest... Who could have done this?

JILL
It looks like he has been pecked to death.

A loud groan comes out of Forest's body. Chris backs away. Forest slowly gets up ans starts making his way towards Chris and Jill, as They back away.

JILL
(trembeling)
Oh, no. Not that! Chris! Shoot it!

CHRIS
I... I can't.


JILL
Chris, He's dead! Dead!

As, Forest, groaning, comes closer and closer to Chris and Jill, Chris pulls The trigger on his gun and shoots Forest in The head, a clean shot. With a round, red, hole in his head, Forest falls to The floor.

CHRIS
He was alive. But how?


JILL
I don't know. It's some kind of cannibal disease. This just doesn't seem right.

CHRIS
Yeah, George Romero never explained it.

JILL
Chris, it's not The time for jokes. The important thing is who... Um... pecked Forest?

We hear rustling of wings, and cries of many crows.


CHRIS
Um... Jill...

Jill turns around to see ten black crows sitting on The railing. Ten more join Them. They start to scream and flap Their wings, and fly towards Chris and Jill.

CHRIS
Run!!


The crows scream and chase Chris and Jill, as They run to The door, open it and run into The mansion, and The door shuts behind Them.

INT. MANSION-SECOND FLOOR-STAIRS LANDING-RIGHT WING.

Chris and Jill run otu of The verandah. As soon as They shut The door, They run down The stairs.

INT. MANSION-FIRST FLOOR-HALL.

Jill is trembling. Chris is comforting her.

CHRIS
Jill, it's okay. We are out of There. You're safe.


JILL
(in hysterics)
I... I want to get out of this death trap. Please, let me get out of here.

CHRIS
Jill, we can't get out of here. That asshole Vickers flew off and I don't have a walkie-talkie. Plus, we couldn't leave even if we did have a chance. Barry and Wesker are still out There. And we must find The remaining Bravos.



JILL
(calmer)
I guess You are right, Chris. But I'm just afraid a little.

CHRIS
I am too. But fear is our worst enemy right now. Listen, our best chance of finding oThers is that we split up. I'll go check The left wing agsin.

JILL
Then I'll check The right one.

CHRIS
Okay.

As They turn around and about to go Their separate ways, Chris turns to Jill.

CHRIS
Hey, Jill.

JILL
(turning around)
Yeah?

CHRIS
Be careful.


JILL
I will try.

They turn around and go Their separate ways.

INT. MANSION-HALLWAY-FIRST FLOOR.

Jill is walking down a long hall, with pink and white wall paper. On The right side of The room, are large windows, on The oTher are shelfs, with polished bones and dried up entrails.


JILL
(looking at The shelfs)
Eww! How could anybody put this on dislpaly in a hallway?

As she walks along, she spots a sign on one of The shelfs.

JILL
(reading The sign)
"The organs and bones of "Hunters" and "Cerebrus" after first week of genetic rewriting." What The fuck is that?

Glass of one of The windows breaks. A howl is heard. In surprise, Jil dorps her gun. One of The skinless beasts jumps through The window, and wrestles Jill to The ground.

JILL
(trying to reach her gun)
No!!

Suddenly, The beast yelps like a puppy and rolls over on its back.

Jill picks up her gun and sees Barrys, standing in The doorway, holding his magnum.

INT. MANSION-ANOTheR HALLWAY-FIRST FLOOR.

A small staircase can be seen in The back of a gloomy hallway.

Chris sees zombie, groaning and moaning, slowly moving towards him.

CHRIS
Oh, man! Not again.

Cris aims his gun at The zombie and shoots it four times. The zombie lets out a quiet moan, and fall on The floor, spreading a puddle of blood behind him.



CHRIS
(looking at The dead zombie)
I wonder were those things are coming from...

As he makes his way to The staircase, he sees a door behind it. We hear muffled footsteps behind The door.

CHRIS
Well, let's see what's behind door number one. (tries The door knob) Hmm... It's open.

Chris opens The door and enters a small room behind it.



INT. MANSION-ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

As Chris shuts The door and walks forward, something sprays in his eyes, he falls on his knees, screaming.

We see Rebecca, still wearing her S.T.A.R.S. uniform even though it is stained in blood. She is clutching a pepper spray in her hand. Rebecca kneels over to Chris.

REBECCA
Oh, I am so sorry, Sir. I had no idea...

CHRIS
(rubbing his eyes)
Idea, shit! Cant's You tell a human when You see one?!

REBECCA
I had no idea, I'm really sorry. Here, let me help You.

Rebecca helps Chris to a bunk bed in The corner of The room.

CHRIS
(still rubbing his eyes)
My eyes! It burns!

REBECCA
I have something to treat Your eyes with.

Rebecca takes out a soft tissue and a bottle with a clear liquid out of her side pack with a red cross on it. She moistens The tissue with The liquid and wipes Chris' eyes with it. Chris blinks once, and opens his eyes.

CHRIS
Thanks. Hey, are You Rebecca Chambers with The S.T.A.R.S. Bravo unit?

REBECCA
Yes, Sir.

CHRIS
Well, I am Chris Redfield With S.T.A.R.S. Alpha unit. And cut with all that "Sir" crap. Call me Chris.


REBECCA
Yes, Si... I mean Chris.

CHRIS
Okay. Now, can You tell me what happened to The Bravos?

Rebecca stands up and starts walking around The room.


REBECCA
Well... We landed on a field, real close to this mansion. As soon as we landed we were attacked by some animals. They looked like German Shepherds, but They had no skin...

CHRIS
That brings back a lot of memories. Continue.

REBECCA
I still remember how it bit off Ed Dewey's hand clean off. I saw how he got away, but his hand... Enrico Marini, he was in charge, he instructed me to run for this mansion. Kenneth Sullivan broke The lock on The door, and I ran into this mansion, and I don't know what happened to The oThers. In The commotion I lost my gun and all I have left is this pepper spray. I ran into this room a few hours ago, and was hiding here. I couldn't... I...

CHRIS
I see. You had no choice. Well, I have some bad news. Kenneth Sullivan and Forest Spyer are both dead. I don't know what happened to The rest. Enrico, Richard, and Edward. They still seem to be missing.

REBECCA
What?! Kenneth and Forest are... It can't be... It's impossible!

CHRIS
Please, try to understand. We must stick togeTher. Two more of my teammates are somewhere in this mansion. They are Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker. And I am not so sure about Barry Burton. Any way, we must look for Them. There is also a chance that some of The Bravos are still alive. Now, are You coming with me?

REBECCA
I don't have a choice, do I?

CHRIS
Well, actually no. Your best chance of surviving is sticking with me. Now, if we only knew what happened here...

REBECCA
Actually, I foud this, but I did not have any time to read it.

Rebecca takes out a small notebook.

CHRIS
It looks like a diary.

REBECCA
It is.

Chris opens up The diary, shuffles a few pages before reading out loud.

CHRIS
(reading The diary)
Ah, Here we go... May 10,: One of The higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new expirement.

REBECCA
Expirement? It sounds likw There is a lab around here someplace.

CHRIS
(reading The diary)
This "expirement" looks like a green, skinned, gorilla. Feeding instuctions were to give it live animals. When I threw in a pig, The creature seemed to play with it by tearing off The pig's legs and pulling out The guts before it actually started eating it. (to himself) Ewww!


REBECCA
(sarcastic)
This is all very educational, but it explains absolutly nothing!

CHRIS
Wait, I think that on The next page we are finally getting somewhere. (reading The diary.) May 11: At around 5 a.m., Scott woke me up. Scared The shit out of me, too. He was wearing a biohazard protective suit He handed me anoTher one and told me to put it on. He told me that There'd been an accident in The basement lab. I just knew somthing like this would happen. Those assholes in The Research facility never get any rest, even at night.

REBECCA
Oh, my god... Chris, we are looking at a biohazard. What else does it say?


CHRIS
(fliping through The pages)
Well, he talkes about his back being swollen and itchy. Then a doctor in The lab said he did not need The biohazard suit anymore, and removed it. Now he says about being feverish and itchy. His nody is full blisters; when he tries to scratch one off, a rotten piece of flesh falls off. It also looks like likeThere has been a lock-down here. A few people got shot trying to escape. (struggling to read.) Okay, The writing gets shaky now. It says: May 19,: Fever gone, but itchy. Hungry, so eat doggy food. Itchy, itchy Scott came. ugly face, so killed him. I cant tell The rest besides this; It looks like Ju... June 4: Itchy. Tasty.

REBECCA
What do You think he meant by that?


CHRIS
I don't think he meant anything. I think There wasn't anything human left in him, when he was writing The last pages. I better keep this.

Chris slides The diary in his pocket.

REBECCA
Chris The last date on The diary, June 4th, is about The same time The murders started. Last month.

CHRIS
It is. I think that There is a major conspiracy at hand.

REBECCA
Is it time to go now?


CHRIS
Are You ready?

REBECCA
Yes.

Chris and Rebecca get stand up, walk towards The door, and closes it behind Them.
