The group makes their way down a large set of stone steps. One is holding onto Alice's arm and Rain is holding Matt. The others have their guns raised in of a presenting threat. They pass through a supply room with boxes and barrels wrapped in plastic. Deeper in the magnificent stone chamber is a large metal train, the ALEXI – 5000. They come to a halt just outside the door, One and another soldier scope out the inside. Kaplan sets a large electronic timer on top of a small supply crate. He turns it on and begins to count down from 2 hours and 48 mins.
JD approaches Alice and says, "So..." she jumps slightly at his sudden closeness, "...you don't remember anything?" Alice sneaks a glance at Rain, who's trying to listen to their conversation. Alice looks back at JD and shakes her head no. But he caught her looking at his fellow soldier. He chuckles, "That's bullshit." When One calls that it's clear, JD enters the train. Alice shyly looks at Rain over her shoulder. The young Latino's jaw was set and her expression serious, but Alice notices the soft eyes that are looking deeply into hers. For a second, she thinks she sees sadness in them, but the trance is broken when Rain turns with Matt and follow JD into the train. Alice and the other soldiers follow.
Kaplan goes to the front of the train and tries to start it, "Power's down." "Fix it," says One. Rain puts Matt against the wall with Alice, "I'm on it." She jump into a pair of open metal doors in the floor which lead to the power lines and takes a flashlight from her equipment belt to shine at her surroundings, looking for any damage she could repair. She points it up to find three plugs detached so she places the end of the flashlight in her mouth and begins to assemble them. As she works, she hears shuffling echo through the vents. Somewhat like a muffled growl. After she attaches the plugs, she takes the flashlight and kneels down a bit more to investigate. The noise echoes again. 'The fuck is that…?' she thinks. Assuming it's rats or some vermin crawling in the vents, she abandons her search and stands back up.
"You done yet?" Rain jumps and slightly flinches at the sudden presence of JD hanging upside down through the doors. She glares at him then sarcastically smiles when he laughs and says, "Jumpy?" He laughs a little harder, but then she moves the magnetic converter to a power-pipe, causing an electric surge and some sparks to fly. The now spooked JD jumps and swings his head back up out of the doors and Rain has a small laugh before pulling herself up. The train then begins to power up. Kaplan looks back into the compartment and warns, "Stand clear!" waits a second then presses a big red button on the wall which makes the trap doors in the floor close.
Moving slowly at first, the train picks up its pace. Matt and Alice are sitting against the wall they were standing by before, watching Rain struggle to open a metal door that looks like it leads to the next car. After many thrust of her body into the locked handle, she gives up and sighs in frustration. She turns and stares down at the two pairs of eyes glued to her, "You got a problem?" she asks them. One regains her focus, "How's that door?" "It's sealed shut."
JD steps forward, "Let me." Rain smiles, once again sarcastically and gestures him toward the door. He egotistically strides past her the winks and clicks his jaw, trying to be a stud. He approaches the door and attempts to open it the same way Rain did. She sits back, continuing to smile, waiting for him to embarrass himself. Instead of quick bursts of pressure, he puts all of his weight into the handle and pushes. With a squeak, the handle unlocks and the door falls open. JD is startled when a man, about his height, falls into him, nearly knocking him over. Assuming it to be an attack, he throws the man to the ground and aims his gun. The man is unconscious. Rain looks from the him back to JD and is smiling, smugly, "Jumpy?"
He looks at her, embarrassed. Rain begins to laugh a little. Alice has been admiring her and smiles at the girl's joy. 'I know you…Don't you remember…?' she thinks. The medic kneels next to the stranger slowly coming to. She takes a small flashlight from her chest pocket. She opens one of his eyes and shines it in. He begins to struggle. "Lie still," she says, but he continues to move, "Lie still," she repeats. He finally complies and she shines the light in his eyes once again. "Look at this light," she holds it up and moves it slowly back and forth, "Follow it." He does as he is told and moves his head with the flashlight with half closed eyes. She puts the light back in her pocket, "Now how many fingers am I holding up?" She holds up her hand for him. He squints at it, "Three." She puts her hand down, "Good. Now can you tell me your name?" He searches his mind, but it's a blank, "…my name…" She stands and looks at One, "He's fine. Memory loss, just like the other one." The man sits up and feels the blood rush to his head; he holds it as a headache smashes through his skull. Alice notices the small shimmer of gold on his finger. A wedding ring. It looks exactly like hers. She feels it and takes it off. Comparing his and hers, she notices it's engraved. It says 'Product of Umbrella Corporation'. Not the most romantic thing you could cut into a ring. Matt watches her, studying the same things. Rain does too, but looks in disgust and anger. Perhaps even sadness. No longer able to watch, she turns and joins Kaplan in the controls.
When the train begins to reach their destination, it begins to stop. They exit the train onto a dark, concrete platform. Sensors recognize their presence and automatic lights brighten the rest of the room. Rain, JD, and the other two male soldiers take point. Alice and the man stand together and the medic escorts Matt. One leads them to their destination point where the other soldiers are waiting for them, Kaplan just behind them typing into his small wrist monitor. "Lets open that door," says One, gesturing to the armored doors ahead of them. Rain and the other two male soldiers carry equipment to the door and begin to set up what appears to be a gun.
Alice, having had enough, storms up to One, "Listen to me. I wanna know who you people are and I wanna know what's going on here," he ignores her, so she hits his arm. He looks down where she just struck, "Now," she emphasizes. He raises his gaze and sighs, "You and I have the same employer. We all work for the Umbrella Corporation." They all closely listen. He continues, "The mansion above us is an emergency entrance to the Hive. You are security operatives, placed there to protect that entrance." Alice pulls off her wedding ring, "And what about this?" One looks from the ring back to her, "Your marriage is a fake. Just part of your cover to protect the secrecy of the Hive." A feeling of relief washes over Alice for some reason. She places the ring back on her finger. "And what is the Hive?" asks the man. "Show them," says One to Kaplan, who steps forward with a small laptop, "Accessing schematics of the Hive." On the monitor, it shows a 3D blueprint map of Raccoon City. The map moves with One's words, "Raccoon City. The mansion: where we found you and through which we gained access to the train, which in turn brought us to the Hive. The Hive itself is located underground, deep beneath the streets of Raccoon City. A top secret research facility owned and operated by the Umbrella Corporation. The Hive houses over 5000 technicians, scientists, and support staff. They live and work underground. Their research is of the highest importance. Its nature is… classified. Our position on the map is indicated by a heat signature."
Meanwhile, Rain is using a large laser to cut the lock box on the door. She stops when it falls off the door and removes her wielding mask.
"Why can't I remember anything?" asks the man. One explains, "The Hive has its own defense mechanisms, all computer controlled. A nerve gas was released into the house. Primary effect of the gas: complete unconsciousness lasting up to four hours. Secondary effects are varied, but include acute memory loss." "For how long?" "Subjective. Hour, day, week. Your name is Spencer Parks. And yours is Alice Abernathy." Matt shows interest, "So you're saying this place was attacked?" One looks at him, "I'm afraid things are a little more…complicated than that." Silence, which is then broken by Rain, "Sir! We've reached the Hive."
