INT. MANSION - MAIN HALL - NIGHT
The room is giganic and impressive. The ceiling is one big skylight, with a crystal chandelier hanging in the center. A big set of windows is on the south side of second floor wall. A sweeping, richely carpeted grand staircase leads upstairs. There are some gothic style chairs elegantly lined up against the wall and some expensive vases are shown off on little tables. Some candles, almost burnt out, are providing extra light. There is a little set of stairs leading behin the staircase. Although the place looks lived in, a thin layer of dust covers the china and the furniture.
Jill, Barry and Wesker are standing int he middle of the room, trying to catch their breath.
JILL
Is everyone all right?
WESKER
I think so. What the hell
just happened?
JILL
Brad! I swear to god, I'll
kill him!
BARRY
What is this place?
WESKER
Not your ordinary trailer,
that's for sure.
Jill looks around her surroundingd and shock of recognition hits her.
JILL
Oh, my god... Joseph... No,
wait... Captain Wesker,
where's Chris?
WESKER
Jill, I'm sorry...
JILL
No!
Jill rushes to the front foor and is about to open, but Wesker grabs her shoulder.
WESKER
Jill, you don't want to open
this door.
JILL
But Chris is---
WESKER
And there is nothing we can
do.
The three stare at each other for a moment, as a crash of lightning breaks the deadly silence.
BARRY
Just our fucking luck. Now
it's gonna rain.
JILL
Wait a second, how did this
mansion get out here.
WESKER
Well, the only mansion anywhere
near here is the Spencer Estate,
so...
JILL
No, it's impossible!
BARRY
Why?
JILL
Hello! The Spencer place was
abandoned over thirty years
ago. This place should be a
hell hole!
BARRY
Well, there is some dust here
and there.
JILL
Barry, please tell me you're
joking. No, this can not
possibly be the Spencer Estate.
WESKER
(sighs)
Look down at our feet.
Jill looks down and sees that the carpeting by the front door sports a fancy, aristocratic ensigne.
JILL
The Spencer family crest...
This is just getting freakier
and freakier.
Suddenly, a loud gunshot erupts from behin a set of double doors on the west well.
BARRY
What was that?
JILL
It could be Chris.
WESKER
Or one of the Bravos. Jill,
will you investigate?
BARRY
I'll go too. Chris and I
go back a long way.
WESKER
I'll secure this exit. We may
need to get out of this mansion
in a hurry after all.
Jill and Barry head for the double doors. Barry aims his gun, as Jill gets to the side and slowly opens the door.
CUT TO:
INT. MANSION - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
The door begins to open slowly, but then flies open as Barry kicks it in with his foot and storms in, his gun ready, followed by Jill. The door closes back behind them.
They eye the room. It is a rather familiar looking dining room, now empty. The food on the tables is dried up and most of the china is smashed to pieces.
BARRY
A dining room.
JILL
Gee, thank for the update.
The begin making their way towards the fireplace.
JILL(CONT.)
Jesus... It looks like this
place has been hit by a
hurricane.
Barry sees something by the fire place and kneels down.
BARRY
Holy shit... Jill, look.
Jill comes up to Barry.
CUT TO:
EXT. WOODS - NIGHT - SAME TIME
The rain is quietly drizzling on the ground. The howling of the Dobermans can be heard int the distance.
Chris is leaning against a tree, catching his breath and reloading his magnum. The growls grow nearer.
CHRIS
Don't these things ever
catch a breather?
Chris bolts forward and finds himself staring at the massive wall of the mansion. He runs to the side and sees a wooden fence. Chris looks at it for a moment, unsurely.
The shape of the hounds begin to materialize in the darkness.
CHRIS(CONT.)
Here goes nothing.
Chris grabs the fence's metal decoration and begins climbing up the brittle fence.
CUT TO:
EXT. YARD - NIGHT
Chris lands in another part of the woods, but the area is completelt fenced. He gets up and cleans the dirt off his clothes.
Chris slowly walks around the corner and hears an anguished moan, a cross between a beast and a woman. He aims his gun into the darkness and beyond the many trees, A DARK HUNCHBACKED SHAPE stumbles slowly, yet intelligently. He then sees a dilapidated cabin about twenty feet away. Chris carefully creeps towards the hut.
CUT TO:
INT. MANSION - DINING ROOM - NIGHT - SAME TIME
Jill puts the gun in her holster, then kneels down next to Barry and dips her fingers in a puddle of red, which is sprawled in front of the fireplace.
JILL
(examining he finger)
Blood.
She stands up.
JILL
What the hell happened here?
BARRY
I'll check the fireplace.
Jill, that door over there...
JILL
I'm on it.
Jill approaches a small door on the right of the fireplace. She examines the knob. It, along with the lock, is hanging by one nail.
JILL(CONT.)
Someone must have been here
before us...
Suddenly, the door swings open. Jill gasps and backs away, Barry stands up and looks into the doorway.
A MAN emerges into the dining room. His clothes are torn and are caked with dried up blood and puss. His eyes are blank and the face is poked with sores, there is fresh blood on his mouth and chin. The Man drooles hungerly. Barry quickly aims his gun on him.
BARRY
Don't move!
The Man, oblivious to Barry, stretches out his arms, and growling like an animal, lunges for Jill.
BARRY(CONT.)
Just one more step and I'll
fire!
The Man claws wildly at Jill, she screams and tries to get her gun out of the holster.
BARRY(CONT.)
Jill, duck!
Jill ducks down, as Barry fires his massive revolver, taking out a chunk of the ghoul's shoulder. The creature does not seem to notice.
BARRY(CONT.)
What the fuck?]
JILL
Barry!
Barry shoots a few times into the creatures chest, the final shot explodes into the ghoul's head. Dark, chunky blood, accompanied by gray matter, splatters on the wall and the creature collapses on the ground.
Barry outs down his weapon and helps Jill up.
BARRY
Are you okay?
JILL
What the hell was that?
BARRY
...A man...
JILL
Did you see what he looked
like? The morgue... It's
exactly what happened in the
morgue!
More footsteps are heard from the darkness beyond the open doorway. Jill and Barry quickly aim their guns.
MALE VOICE
(o.s.)
Who's there?
BARRY
And who's there?
Kenneth Sullivan, caked in dirt and holding his bleeding arm, emerges. Barry and Jill sigh and relieve put their weapons in the holsters. Then, they quickly ten to their wounded ally.
BARRY
Sullivan?
BARRY
Kenneth? Are you okay? What
happened?
SULLIVAN
That thing... It bit me on
the arm, I shot in the knee,
but...
JILL
How deep is your wound?
SULLIVAN
Not that deep.
JILL
Let me take a look.
Jill takes his arm and sees a small bite right above Sullivan's wrist. It is bleeding at a tremendous rate.
JILL(CONT.)
Damn it! That fucker bit
you where veins are. Here,
let me help.
Jill opens up her side pack and takes out a first aid spray. She sprays on Sullivan's wound, he winces in pain.
JILL(CONT.)
Oh, get over it.
She puts the spray back in her side pack, then takes out a small roll of bandages and wraps it around Sullivan's arm.
SULLIVAN
Thanks.
JILL
(zipping up her side pack)
Don't mention it.
BARRY
Come on, we have to meet
Wesker.
SULLIVAN
Wait, how did you guys
get here?
JILL
You see...
As she begins talking, They head towards the double doors.
CUT TO:
INT. MANSION - MAIN HALL - NIGHT
Jill, Barry, and Sullivan find that Wesker is gone.
BARRY
Wesker!
JILL
(almost apolegetically)
He said that he would stay
to secure our exit...
SULLIVAN
I'm used to people disappearing
in this mansion by now.
Barry and Jill run to the small set of stairs and looks behind the staricase. A set of gates adjacent to the staricase (with two indentations) separates the alcove from the pitch black beyond.
BARRY
He's not in the alcoves.
JILL
No, this is impossible! How
could just flake out on us?
SULLIVAN
Okay, let's not lose our heads.
Maybe he was forced to flee.
Can't say I blame him.
JILL
What exactly happened to
you guys out there?
SULLIVAN
When we crash landed, we decided
to split up and resume the
investigation, or at least get
help. Then, those things---
BARRY
The dogs?
SULLIVAN
No, not just the dogs. There
are people... Changed people,
understand?
Jill and Barry nod.
SULLIVAN
They attacked us and... I
saw them maul Dewey...
JILL
What about the others?
SULLIVAN
I caught up with Rebecca,
Richard and Forest by
morning outside the mansion.
We thought it was safe here,
but... Stupid, ain't it? We
got separated, this mansion
is gigantic! Then that thing
attacked me and that is when
you guys got here. I have no
idea where Enrico and Kevin
Dooly are.
JILL
Ken, I'm sorry. We found
Kevin. he...
SULLIVAN
I understand. So, what should
we do now?
BARRY
We have to find the others
and try to get out of this
place. And there is only
one way to do that.
JILL
No, Barry. We can't possibly---
BARRY
Jill, keep an open head. There
is now way we can find the
other and an exit in time
before...
JILL
Before we are all turned into
cole slaw, right?
SULLIVAN
He does have a point. Some
of us must look for the
others and another one must
find an exit.
JILL
All right. But Kenneth,
I'm sticking with you.
SULLIVAN
What? Why? Jill, I'm not
five.
JILL
That maybe so, but you are
wounded and this place maybe
the source of everything. I
am not about to leave a wounded
comrade in a place where these
creatures roam and who knows
what else!
BARRY
Okay, okay. You two will
search for survivors, while
I'll look for a safe way
out.
SULLIVAN
Good. You check the west
wing again, Jill and I
will check the east wing,
there is still some places
there I haven't checked yet.
JILL
All right, then. Barry,
Be careful.
BARRY
Careful? I don't need to
be careful.
Barry shows off his impressive magnum.
JILL
Get over yourself.
SULLIVAN
If anything happens, we'll
go back to the main hall
and wait up for for the other
one.
The three salute each other, half jokingly. Then, Barry heads back for th dining room doors, while Jill and Sullivan approacheS a set of doors across the hall.
The room is giganic and impressive. The ceiling is one big skylight, with a crystal chandelier hanging in the center. A big set of windows is on the south side of second floor wall.
