EXT. COURTYARD-NIGHT.

Chris and Rebecca stand in front of a large house in The end of The courtyard.

CHRIS
Looks like a guard house.

REBECCA
A very large guard house.

CHRIS
Well, this is an estate. They must have had hundreds of gardners. Or researchers.

REBECCA
What do You mean?


CHRIS
What I think is that all The higher ups of this research complex lived on The lap of luxury in The mansion, and The rest lived in this guard house.

REBECCA
I wonder if we will ever find this lab. Its supposed to in The basement. Just think of all The stuff it has; chemicals and machines we never even heard of. I bet The entrance is somewhere in this guard house.

CHRIS
Are You nuts? Who knows what that lab holds. There might more monsters. I bet You a million bucks that all of Their expirements are caged up in There. We'll belucky if we steered right by it.

REBECCA
So, are we going in?

CHRIS
Well, I think that all guard houses in estates like this have back exits; and The high way that leads to Denver isn't very far away, according to The location of The Spencer Estate.

REBECCA
Are You saying that we have to search The whole guard house for a back etrance, hike to Denver and com back with a rescue party?




CHRIS
We are not going to hike to Denver; maybe There will be a car driving through with a cell phone, or something, we can call R.P.D. for back up. In any case, we don't have much choice, do we?

REBECCA
No, I guess we don't. Well, let's go.

CHRIS
(tries The knob)
Unlocked.

Chris and Rebecca enter The guard house.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris and Rebecca walk down a long hallway. As They turn The corner, a zombie comes charging. Rebecca screams as Chris shoots it in The head with his Colt Python, and The zombie, groaning, falls on The floor.


REBECCA
Shit, coming here was a mistake; let's just go back to courtyard.

CHRIS
We can't just let one of those zom... things stop us.

REBECCA
Admit it. These are the living dead. Zombies.



CHRIS
But they can't be. It might be some sort of desease, or even artificial beings, but they can't be zombies. It's immpossible.

REBECCA
Then how do you explain what that man wrote in The diary? This gas, this so called T-virus, which leaked out and killed The researchers. There must have been some special chemicals in the virus, and it restored their brain function only. That is probably why They are decomposing. In any case, the virus defects its brain, and it gets up and kills. It infects the people it kills, and they to get up and kill.

CHRIS
Is that a guess?

REBECCA
Call it an educated Theory. I have a chemistry and medical degrees from Cambridge. I know These things.

CHRIS
Then why The hell did You join S.T.A.R.S.?

REBECCA
A person have to pay for The college. I thought it would be fun to be a medic in The great Special Tactics And Rescue Service; You get to meet intersting people, good pay, great adventures. And now... ironic isn't it?

CHRIS
Yeah, well... You get what You pay for. Same thing with me. I thought S.T.A.R.S. was much too boring, compared to my days in The Air force. Now I had enough adrenalin and thrill to last me a life time.

REBECCA
Funny, isn't it?

CHRIS
It sure is. Now, let's search for an exit, okay?

REBECCA
Fine.

As Chris and Rebecca, quietly talking, walk down The hall, They don't notice The small door, gently being pulled off its hinges.


INT. GUARD HOUSE-ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris and Rebecca are standing in a large bedroom. Large double doors can be seen in The back.

CHRIS
Last room.

REBECCA
Well, what's behind that door?

CHRIS
I don't know. Let's check it out.

REBECCA
(looking at The bed)
Look; it seems like a report.

Rebecca picks up a report, titled "PLANT 42 REPORT," from The bed, and gives it to CHRIS

CHRIS
(reading The report)
Injecting The expiremntal T-virus into The genes of The fly trap plant caused some interesting results. The plant grew to over thirty feet in height and become dangerously cannibalistic.

REBECCA
Just like The zombies...

CHRIS
(reading The report)
The plant, code named "Plant 42," now inhabits The what used to be The guard house lounge, behind The chief researcher of this project's bedroom. Whenever someone, or something enters The room, The plant shuts The door with its vines while eating its victim. The plant grew more powerful when The T-virus injected sharks, code named T-100 Neptune, broke The tank in The basement, and The plant's roots drank The infected water. The only thing that can kill Plant 42 is a special chemical, developed exclusivly for this matter; The chemical's name is V-jolt. For special precaution reasons, The chemical was put in The basement room, where Plant 42's roots have taken residence.

CHRIS
(putting away The report)
Do You think You know whose bedroom we are standing in?


REBECCA
Chief researcher's...

CHRIS
I think that The exit is where The lounge is located.

REBECCA
But Chris, this plant is very dangerous. We have a better chance in The court yard.

CHRIS
The outbreak has been for over a month. Nobody cared for it, and The pplant probaly already died out.

REBECCA
But what The report tells...

CHRIS
Let's just see, okay?

Chris tries The door knob; The door is locked.

REBECCA
Now what are we going to do?

CHRIS
I guess we have to shoot The lock. Man, I hate wastin' ammo. Unless...

Chris takes out The key that Rebecca gave him and tries it on The lock. Thr lock clicks.

CHRIS
Thank god. This piece of crap was useful after all.

Chris opens The door, and The two of Them enter The lounge.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-LOUNGE-FIRST FLOOR.

A very luxurious room with marble ceiling and walls. Expensive Persian carpet covers The floor. A beautiful fireplace is in the back.

The beauty ends There. All of The furniture is shattered into pieces, anf a giant ivy-like plant is in The middle of The room. Its tentacles are swing everyhere. It seems to be growing from The floor.

As Chris watches in horror, Rebecca starts screaming her lungs out. The plant, as noticing Them, starts to slide its tentecles toward Them.

CHRIS
Sweet shit! Rebecca, back, now!

Rebecca is screaming, and doesn't want to move. Chris grabs her, and drags her out The door.



INT. GUARD HOUSE-ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris throws Rebecca on The bed, and grabs The key; he Then locks The door, and puts a chair by The handle.

CHRIS
You're safe now.


Rebecca gets off The bed and runs into The Chr's arms; she starts crying.

REBECCA
(wailing)
Oh, Chris! This is too much! I want to go home. I'm going insane in here. The zombies, The monsters. I'm just a medic. I don't deserve this!

CHRIS
(comforting)
Rebecca, please try to understand. We can't do anything besides find a way out. Now, help me find The basement, maybe if we destroy The palnt's roots.

REBECCA
(calmer)
But where is The basement?

CHRIS
Lets see... We didn't find one in The mansion, or The guard house. And Ozwell Spencer build this... Eurika!

Chris walks over to The giant book shelf, and starts pulling out all of The books, throwing Them on The floor.

REBECCA
What The hell are You doing?

CHRIS
Well, I this in The movies, this bookshelf might have...

Chris pulls on a giant red book. The book pulls back, and The bookshelf slieds over to The side, revealing a ladder going down.

REBECCA
Holly shit, You're right.


CHRIS
You want to see what's downstairs?

REBECCA
Sure, let's go.

They climb down The ladder.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-BASEMENT.

Chris and Rebecca are walking down a metalic hallway with a thin level of water on The floor, Their botos making splashy sounds echo.

CHRIS
Looks like The water level gets deeper here...

We see a door, half submerged, in The end of The dark hallway.

REBECCA
Do we have to?

CHRIS
I'm afraid so.

They continue on Their way.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-BASEMENT.

A Square shaped hallway with one room. A Huge, broken tank is in The middle. The water, spilled from it, is waist deep.

We see a fin, cruising through The dark waters.

Chris and Rebecca are making Their way through The water.

REBECCA
I guess now we know what caused The outbreak.

CHRIS
(looking at The rapture in The tank)
What could have done this?...

INT. UNDER WARTER.

We see through something eyes. It is quckly making its way through The murky waters, toward Chris and Rebecca.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-BASEMENT.

Chris looks at a metal door in The back.

CHRIS
We're almost There.

Suddenly, a huge splash breaks The calm surface of The water. A giant zombie shark starts coming after shocked Chris and Rebecca.

CHRIS
Oh, Shit! I forgot; The Neptune!

Chris and Rebecca start racng towards The door, as anoTher shark joins Them in The pursuit. Chris tries The door knob, but The door is locked.

REBECCA
Chris, try The key I gave You. Hurry!

Chris takes out The key and puts in The door knob, and twist it.


CHRIS
(stuggling with The key)
Come on! Come on!

As The sharks are about to open Their mouth and eat Chris and Rebecca, Chris opemn The door and The two of Them run inside, The water splashing everywhere, The metal door shut behind Them, and The sharks seem to understands that Their victim is lost, and calmly swim away.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-ROOM-BASEMENT.

Chris and Rebecca stand in a room with water right below Their waists.

A console with all sorts of controls is in The back, and a shelf with chemicals is right next to it.

A giant root is hanging from The ceiling.

CHRIS
(looking at The root)
Found it.

REBECCA
I know that, but there is one thing I don't. What The hell where those things.

CHRIS
(sarcastic)
Well, that's easy. They were zombie sharks.

REBECCA
So far on this mission I started believe in a lot of things; zombies, yes. Zombie dogs, sure. But zombie sharks?! Now way!


CHRIS
It is all quite easy. These researchers must have injected These sharks with T-virus. In ny case... Brrrrr... It's cold. Let's just do what we have to. And, since this water is infected, I don't think that cold is The least of our worries.

REBECCA
We didn't drink it.

They walk to The cosole, and find a button saying "EMERGENCY EMPTIENG OF The HALL." Rebecca, as if reading Chris' thoughts, calmly pushes The button. A flushong sound is heard, and The water quicky drains away, The crack in The door sucking it away. Soon There is nothing but puddles.

CHRIS
Now that this thing has been taken care of, let's search for The V-jolt.

Rebecca walks over to The shelf, her wet cloths sagging, and scans it for a second, Then she takes out a aerosol spary marked "V-jolt"

CHRIS
How do You use it?

REBECCA
I think You just spray it...

Rebecca walks over to The giant root, and empties The can on it. A monet later te root turns brown, and shrivels up.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-LOUNGE-FIRST FLOOR.

The plant 42 starts convulsing and releasing toxic gas. A moment later, it deteriorates into a purple toxic puddle.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-SECOND FLOOR.

As Chris and Rebecca, Their cloThes soaked, make Their way back to The ladder, They see The two sharks, chocking and lying in puddles.

REBECCA
Sweet...

CHRIS
They had it coming. Let's go.

They continue on Their way.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-LOUNGE-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris and Rebecca look in disgust at The purple puddle. Now that The plant is dead, we can see a dead body of a researcher, clutching a roll of paper, and There is no door.

CHRIS
All this work for nothing.

REBECCA
Now what are we going to do?

CHRIS
Go back into The court yard, I guess. Hey...

Chris kneels over to The corpse and picks up The roll of paper and spreads it. We see The map of The entire estate.

REBECCA
What is it?

CHRIS
The map of The estate, looks we were right sbout The laboratory; The map says it's underground, and somewhere in The back. The lab looks like its to floors and There is a... Bingo! Rebecca this is great!

REBECCA
Huh?

CHRIS
There is a helipad by The lab entrance. It has to have a communication device, or a flare that we can use to call Brad, and...

REBECCA
And get out of here.

CHRIS
Right. Now, according to this map, There should be an undeground passage, which leads to The lab. All we have to do is find it, but first, I think that we should find Jill.

REBECCA
Alright Then, let's go.

Chris and Rebecca leve The lounge.

INT. MANSSION-ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

Jill is searching a small, cozy office. The walls are decorated with head of stuffed animals. A lamp on a desk is The only source of light.

JILL
(searching The desk)
There must be something...

JILL turns around and finds a note on The floor. She qucikly picks it up. We see a messege written on it: " CONFEDENTIAL. PHASE 1: Dispose of All S.T.A.R.S. members or lead Them away from The Spencer Estate. PHASE 2: GaTher all The data and samples for The "T-virus." PHASE 3: Destroy The The estate via triggering system in The laboratory, and evacuate to The nearest safe area. Umbrella Inc.

JILL
Umbrella?! What The hell...

Jill accidently pushes a small golden button in The wall, and The part of The wall slides back to reveal The courtyard. Jill, with an expression of shock on her face, enters The courtyard.


EXT. COURTYARD-NIGHT.

Jill finds herself in The oTher end of The courtyard. We hear a fountain somewhere in The back. Then someone's foot steps mak Jill jump with surprise, a few moments later, The water of The fountain stops running, and The foot steps fade away. The fountain resumes runnign a few moments later.

Jill is about to go to The source of The noise, but discovers foot prints in The mud, and follows Them instead.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-FIRST FLOOR.

Chris and Rebecca walk back to the door, which leads back to the courtyard. Suddenlu, The door that was moving before, burst open and eight zombies burst out, moaning. Chris starts shooting his revolver.

CHRIS
Shit!

Rebecca, is paralyzed with shock. She backs away. Chris is trying to get the door clposed with his shoulder.

CHRIS
Rebecca, help!

Rebecca lets out a a scream, and runs to help Chris.

REBECCA
I'll hold the door! Get your weapon ready!

Chris backs away and aims his revolver. Rebecca is too weak. The door breaks off its hinges and the zombies break out, ignoring Rebecca and heading for Chris.

Suddenly, one more zombie shows up. It is Edward Dewey. His face is mutilated. A death mask. His left hand is missing. Rebecca is paralyzed with terror.

REBECCA
Edward?

Edward, drooling and groaning, grabs shrieking Rebecca by the throat and drags into the dark room.

REBECCA
For god's sake, somebody help me!

CHRIS
Rebecca!

Chris quickly shoots the zombies in their heads and they fall on the floor. Chris quckly runs into the doorway of the other room.


INT. GUARD HOUSE-ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

Rebecca is lying on the floor, unconcious, with Edward's zombie on top of her. Chris stands in The doorway, aiming his gun.

CHRIS
Get away from her.

Edward, as if insulted, stands up and heads for Chris. Chris presses The trigger, but the clip is empty.

CHRIS
Shit!

Chris unloads The clip, and starts to load The revolver, when Edward zombie grabs him, but Chris manages to throw him on the floor, then he quickly reloads his revolver and shoots Edward, who is standing up, in the head. Edward groans, and falls on the floor.

CHRIS
Rest now....

After that, Chris picks up Rebecca, and holding her in his arms, he goes back into The hallway.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-ROOM-FIRST FLOOR.

As Chris, still holding unconcious Rebecca, walks toward The front door. We hear two loud groans, and two more zombies walk out from behind The corner. Chris can't get his weapon and just stands There. Then, two loud shots are heard, and The zombies split in half in a shower of blood. As They fall on The floor, we see Jill, smiling, holding her shotgun.

JILL
Just thought You might need some help. I heard The shots and came here. What happened? You guys are soaking wet.

Chris gently puts Rebecca on The floor.

CHRIS
It's a very long story. These zombies... They... One of Them was Ed Dewey.

Chris points at Edward's lifeless body in The oTher room, and Jill gasps.

CHRIS
He attacked Rebecca, and I shot him.

JILL
Did he... You know, bite her?


CHRIS
Didn't have a chance.

Jill kneels over to Rebecca and gently spas her on The cheeks.

JILL
Rebecca? Wake up.

Rebecca groans and opens her eyes, a moment later she stands up.

REBECCA
Edward! What happened?

Rebecca sees Edward's corpse.

REBECCA
You killed him, You filthy bastard!

Rebecca runs over to Chris and starts hitting him, but he quickly restrains her.

CHRIS
Don't You remember? You said so Yourself. Eveyone who is in this stage are dead. They are nothing but dead things half reanimated.

REBECCA
Even Edward?

CHRIS
Yes.

REBECCA
It just seems so unreal. Edward... Of all people...

CHRIS
In any case, we must get out of here. Jill, I found this map. There is a lab on The estate. The passage to it is through some secret passage. There is a helipad in The lab. We have a good chance of getting out.

JILL
Okay. By The way, I found this note. It said something about getting rid of S.T.A.R.S. and disposing of evidence. It was adressed to someone by Umbrella Incorporated.

CHRIS
What?

We hear gun shots in the back.

REBECCA
What was that?

The three of Them ran to The back of The hallway.

INT. GUARD HOUSE-HALLWAY-SECOND FLOOR.

Chris, Jill, and Rebecca find Wesker, still wearing his dark sunglasses, shooting madly at a spider The size of a Doberman.

JILL
Wesker, get back!

Jill shoots The spider with her shotgun; a few moments later, The spider curls up, and dies.

WESKER
Sure glad you guys came along. And I see You found The Rookie girl.

REBECCA
(coldly)
Call me Rebecca, Captain Wesker.

CHRIS
Lets cut the crap. Why did you take off like that?

WESKER
As you can see, There were lots of reasons. And all of Them are crawling around here half-dead. And now, There are These things.

Wesker points at the dead spider.

JILL
This spider is huge. This estate is some kind of variation of hell.

CHRIS
Anyway, there is a lab somehere around here; it has a helipad. We are going to search for it. In The meantime, do You have any oblections looking for Barry?

WESKER
None. I'll find him, Then I'll get to The lab. By The way, why would this place have a laboratory?

CHRIS
It's a long story. Remember, The passage to The lab is through a tunnel in The courtyard.

JILL
I think... Well, There is a waterfall fountain in The curtyard; that is where probably The passage is located.

REBECCA
We'll meet You There.

WESKER
Fine. I'll do some more exploring.

JILL
Be careful. And be careful about Barry. Something very strange is going on with him. I also think I heard anTher person in The mansion.

CHRIS
Huh?

JILL
I'll tell You later.

WESKER
Thanks for The advice.

Chris, Jill, and Rebecca head toward The exit. Wesker stands in The hall for a moment, Then goes down The hall, in opposite direction of The oTher three S.T.A.R.S.

EXT. COURTYARD-FOUNTAIN-NIGHT.

Chris, Jill, and Rebecca are standing in front of a waterfall fountain. Jill is just finishing up her story.

CHRIS
That is sure some freaky shit.

JILL
Nowhere near what we have been through.

REBECCA
I still can't believe that Umbrella is behind all of this.

JILL
They... I thought They just made cosmetics and weight loss pills.

CHRIS
Now I don't even want to know what is in those pills.

JILL
Fine. Let's see how this dountain drains.

Chris, JILL, and Rebecca starts inspecting The brick wall around The fountain.

REBECCA
I think I found something.

Rebecca pushes a brick, which seems to be sticking out. The waterfall stops, and we see a door. It clicks and opens by itself; A ladder is behind it.

JILL
Way to go! Come on, let's go.

CHRIS
Before we go, I have to tell You something. Remember when Wesker said he had to leave because the zombies were chasing him?

JILL
Yeah, what's your point?

CHRIS
Did You see any zombies in the foyer?

Jill and Rebecca shrug, and all three of them climb down The ladder.

INT. TUNNEL.

Chris is in The head of The party. as They make Their way down A tunnel with stale bricks, They see two dead bodies, ripped to shreds.

JILL
What could have done this?

CHRIS
No zombies are this powerful.

Chris doesn't as one of The corpses start moving; it slowely lifts it head, and tries to grab Chris.

REBECCA
Chris, watch out!

Rebecca takes out The gun that Chris gave her, and shoots The zombies in The head. It moans, and dies.

REBECCA
And just to make sure...

Rebecca shoots The oTher corpse.

CHRIS
Gee, thanks, Rebecca. I owe You one.



REBECCA
(smiling)
No, You don't. You saved me so many times, this is The least I could do.

Chris gives The Rebecca a flirting smile. Jill sees it.

JILL
Chris, can I see You for a moment. In private.

Chris and Jill walk to a corner.

JILL
(whispering)
Are you nuts?

CHRIS
(whispering)
What do You mean?

JILL
(whispering)
You were flirting with her!

CHRIS
(whispering, insulted)
I was not.

JILL
(whispering)
First of all, this is not The time, or The place to flirt. Second, You are twenty-five., and Rebecca is only eighteen, a year Younger than You sister.

CHRIS
(whispering)
Claire... Thank she is not here. In any case, I think that You are jelous.

JILL
(whispering, insulted)
Me?! I'll have You know...

REBECCA
What are You guys talking about? Let's go!

JILL
Coming.
