FADE IN:
EXT. FOREST - MANSION - NIGHT
SUPER the legend: "ARKLAY MOUNTAINS, OUTSKIRTS OF RACCOON CITY, COLORADO. MAY 11, 10:45 P.M."
Large and ominous looking with half of the windows ablaze, the mansion is surrounded by a dense forest and is bathed in eerie moonlight.
The mansion and its large front yard are contained behind tall, sturdy looking iron gates. A sign in fancy letters is curved out of metal on it: SPENCER ESTATE.
CUT TO:
INT. LABORATORY - LOBBY - NIGHT
Everything is colored white. Generic windows are spread around the walls. There is no view behind them, just offices and meeting rooms. Huge double doors are at the back.
People in lab coats and business suits are walking back and forth, carrying briefcases and manilla folders.
AN ELEVATOR, next to the reception desk opens and A MAN in a business suit enters. He is middle aged and his name is JOHN CARSON
John walks past A FEMALE RECEPTIONIST.
RECEPTIONIST
Good morning, Doctor Carson.
JOHN
Hello, Sandy. Tell the
staff not to expect me
at dinner. I shall be
in my office, catching
up on my work.
RECEPTIONIST
Certainly.
John nods and continues on his way.
CUT TO:
INT. MANSION - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Extremely long, with a gigantic balcony that circles the the entire room at the top. The décor is done in a marriage, of sorts, of medieval and victorian styles, complete with a fireplace, elaborate paintings and an ancient grandfather clock. Dark forest can be seen through the large windows.
A GROUP OF ABOUT SEVENTY PEOPLE, all dressed semi casually, are sitting around a long, fancy table dining on gourmet food from expensive silverware.
FIVE MEN DRESSED AS BUTLERS are walking around the diners, placing oysters and crackers with caviar from silver trays to the people's plates.
CUT TO:
INT. LABORATORY - OFFICE
Another white room. It does not look like a typical office. It is filled with unknown gadgets and vials with suspicious green gel.
John is sitting behind a table with an ultra modern computer, talking on the phone. All the while he is looking at a framed picture of him hugging A BEAUTIFUL ASIAN WOMAN, in her MID-TWENTIES.
JOHN
Ada, I know I promised to
be back tonight, but I can't.
We took a few blood samples
from her and the Ebola
concentration is too high.
What? No. Yes... Sure. Listen,
I'll get home in two weeks and
we'll sort it out then. Now---
The automatic door slides open and SOMEONE enters.
JOHN
(surprised)
What the?!
(back into the phone)
Listen, Ada. I'll call you
back in a few minutes.
(he hangs up)
What are you doing here?
You---
Before he has a chance to finish the sentence, the person zaps him with a taser.
John, with his eyes wide open from shock, falls from the chair, knocking over the picture. As he lays on the floor, violent convulsions overwhelm him.
The assailant turns his attention to a glass case full of vials with green gel.
The assailant sees a safety mask lying on a table. He quickly puts it on.
Then, he smashes the glass case with the butt of the stun gun. With vials broken, the green gel begins to ooze on the floor.
The assailant quickly exits the room, as John lies on the ground, convulsing.
JOHN
(delirious)
Ada... Ada...
CUT TO:
INT. LABORATORY - HALLWAY
Everyone goes around their business.
A WOMAN approaches A MAN.
WOMAN
Do you smell something?
MAN
What do you mean?
DISGUSTED EXCLAMATIONS are heard. ANOTHER MAN pushes his way passed the crowd of onlookers. He is very pale and is scratching himself everywhere.
The Scratching Man approaches The Woman.
SCRATCHING MAN
Help... Please... The itch...
The Scratching Man begins retching. He is vomiting blood and puss.
MAN
My god, it's the T-Virus!!
All at once, the lights fade. People begin to scream. Then, the lights come on again, only red this time.
FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
(o.s.)
Warning. Biohazard contamination
detected. Emergency Lever... A.
WOMAN 2
My arms!!
She begins to scratch her arms. Other do that as well. Some begin to crouch, others vomit blood.
CUT TO:
INT. MANSION - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
The lights here are red as well. The diners stand up in confusion. The butlers drop their trays in confusion.
FEMALE COMPUTER VOICE
(o.s.)
Automatic lock system has
been confirmed. All doors
will be locked for...
Fourteen Days... For
quarantine purposes.
A CLICKING sound is heard.
Two men run to the double doors at the back. Man 1 tries the lock.
MAN 1
I can't open it!
Man 2
What is happening?
A Butler tries a door on the side of the wall by the fireplace.
BUTLER
Locked as well!!
WOMAN
No... This can't be...
People start to panic. They run amok, spilling food on the floor and throwing dishes off the table. Then, they begin scratching, coughing and vomiting blood and pus.
The Woman that spoke to the Butler stands out from the rest. She is not in panic, except that she is terrified. She backs away, shaking.
A man crawls up to her caked with his own vomit and puss He is coughing blood.
MAN
Help... Me... It hurts...
So itchy...
His blood stained hand grabs her dress. The Woman SCREAMS in terror.
CUT TO:
EXT. FOREST - MANSION - NIGHT.
As The Woman's scream echoes through the dark woods, the mansion's lights dim and go out, leaving it looking dark, foreboding, and pretty much dead.
