J.J. Neil
2017-2018
FADE IN:
Close up on glass vials
The vials are being picked up by a mechanical machine with
arms with a mysterious person with a white hazmat suit on in
the machine. A girl.
She puts them in a carry around case.
She takes the suit off. She begins to walk out of the room
urgently. Like she had to go somewhere.

She throws the T-VIRUS into the ground.

Close Up on the ground, with blue liquid and glass on it.

INT. OFFICE

Hi-Tech, super sleek. The ceiling in black and white.

People are walking,walking,walking.

Busy.

They have clean white lab coats on.

Cages line the wall. A black and brown bully dog sniffs the
air.
Begins to bark.
 2.

INT. OFFICE

A beautiful girl sits in her cubicle. She is the secretary.

LIZA. A pretty paperweight on her desk.
'LOVE.... IS A WONDERFUL THING'

LIZA
I went to the pick up,but there was
no serum. Nothing.
A fire alarm sounds.

LIZA jumps out of her chair, along with every one else.

INT. ELEVATOR
A girl with brown eyes bumps into a boy with black eyes.

BROWN
Sorry.
BLACK
It's okay.
Suddenly, the elevator stops and the lights dim down to blue.

Oh god! What happened to the
sprinkler system?!

INT. ELEVATOR
The elevator is still stuck.

BROWN
(MORE)
 3.
(CONT’D)
Shouldn't the elevator come unstuck
or something.
Suddenly, they hear the brakes open.

They start freefalling.

The elevator hits the bottom. BOOM!
BROWN
We have to find a way out of here.
They try to push the doors open.
BROWN (CONT’D)
Come on!
BLACK
Its stuck on something.
BROWN
Its wide enough. I'm gonna squeeze
through.
BROWN takes her jacket off.
She squeezes her head through the elevator.
BROWN (CONT’D)
Oh crap.
BLACK
What?! Let me see!
They see Umbrella employees dead, lying on the floor.

BLACK (CONT’D)
We have to get out of here! Out of
this building.
A boy with a yellow blazer speaks.
YELLOW
Take it easy.
BLACK
NO, YOU TAKE IT EASY.
BROWN
Both of you just SHUT UP!
They hear a strange sound.
 4.

YELLOW
What's that?
BLACK
Its the brakes! Get her out!
BROWN
Get me out! I can't move.
The elevator brakes unlock and the elevator falls and BROWN
stops it with her arm.
BROWN (CONT’D)
Get me out. Get me out!
BROWN turns around, her arm going in the elevator.
The elevator brakes unlock and BROWN hits her head on the
concrete top, dying.
CLOSE ON BROWN eyes flashing open. Zoom out.

We see an 11 year old boy laying on the bathroom floor. No

sign of his parents. Light brown hair. It looks like he's
been knocked out. He is African American. We'll call him
ALEX.

INT. BEDROOM - DUSK

ALEX goes to a bedroom. No sign of life. He grabs a robe and

puts it on. He walks over to an antique dresser. It has four
drawers. The first has drawers and socks. The second has
pants and shirts. The third has shoes. The fourth has
shotguns and machine guns with scopes and laser pointers.
ALEX stares at the guns, his face looking surprised.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

ALEX walks to the bed. He sees some clothes laid on the bed.
A pair of black boots, a muscle shirt, and shorts.

He puts it on but looks confused. He doesn't remember wearing

them, but they fit perfectly.

INT. LIVING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

ALEX goes into the living room of the house. He looks out the
window. A big yard with some trees and bushes. He turns to
see a table with pictures. His eyes land on one specific
picture. It's of him and a young girl. Around his age.
 5.

He sees they both have necklaces on. His say BOYFRIEND and
hers say GIRLFRIEND.
Suddenly, he sees the reflection of someone running past him.

He turns his head.

ALEX
Hello!
He seems surprised. So that's what he sounds like.
He takes steps to a statue.
A person suddenly comes from the side and tackles ALEX to the
ground. His badge identifies him at MAX ADDISON.
ALEX (CONT’D)
Get off of me!
Suddenly, a team of soldiers rip open the door and attack
MAX, tackling him to floor.
MAX
Get off me! I'm a police officer.
A soldier walks over to ALEX, gun in hand
His badge identifies him as ALPHA DOG NUMBER ONE.

ONE
Report, soldier?
ALEX
(confused)
Huh?

ONE
Give me your report, soldier?
A boy speaks up, his badge identifies him as TEN.

TEN
Sir.

TEN looks up from his computer, and looks up at ONE.

TEN (CONT’D)
The house's primary defense
mechanisms have been activated.
He's probably still suffering from
the side effects.
 6.

ONE
Well.

He snatches MAX's badge and passes it to TEN.

TEN puts the badge number into his computer.

TEN
I'm not getting any verification.

ONE
(to Max)
Who the heck are you?
MAX
I'm a local police officer.

TEN
No you're not. I see it.

ONE takes out his pistol and points hit straight at MAX's
head.

MAX
I just came! I was looking for a
job and I chose R.C.P.D. They were
looking for kid workers.

ALEX
Raccoon City Police Department.

MAX
How did you not know?

ALEX
Huh?

MAX
If you knew, you wouldn't say the
full name.

ONE hits MAX on the shoulder.

Two COMMANDOS snatch MAX up to the floor, handcuffed.

TEN scans MATT's fingerprints.

MAX (CONT’D)
You can't do this.

JINX
(to Alex)
Hey fine boy.
 7.

ALEX
(shocked)
What!

SNOW
Hey, be slow with him. He lost his
memory, remember.
SNOW slaps JINX across the head.

TEN
(to One)
Should we take him with us?

TEN points to MAX.

ONE
Yes. He may not be alone. We also
take him.

ONE points to ALEX.

ONE puts numbers into a keypad and doors slide open.

ONE (CONT’D)
Come on!
ONE and the crew go into the doors, go down a hallway, and
encounter the elevator.
TEN and ONE go to the elevator and look down the elevator
shaft.
TEN lights a flare and throws it down the elevator shaft.

The elevator crashed.

TEN
Looks like we're taking the stairs

INT. THE HIVE - STAIRS

We see a pair of feet running down the stairs.

These feet belong to JINX.

Behind JINX is SNOW, behind her is TEN, behind him is MEDIC,
behind her is JORDAN, behind him is KAPLAN, and behind him is
ONE, ALEX,and MAX.
 8.

ONE
We have to go find the RED QUEEN.

KAPLAN
According to my data, the RED QUEEN
is following our tracks. She knows
we're here.
ALEX
Who is the RED QUEEN?
ONE
The artificial intelligence that
runs The Hive.
They reach the bottom of the stairs and see a car that's big
enough to carry all of them.
ONE (CONT’D)
SNOW, hotwire it.
SNOW
(to One)
On it.

SNOW gets in the car and start hotwiring it.

Suddenly, JINX is standing in front of the door and she
startles SNOW
JINX
Jumpy.
SNOW
(to Jinx)
I'm gonna kill you.
The car comes on.

Everyone gets in the car.

ONE closes the door.

SNOW starts trying to lock the door.

SNOW catches ALEX and MAX staring at her with a confused

look.

SNOW (CONT’D)
Got a problem?

ONE
The door?
 9.

SNOW
It's sealed shut.

JINX
Let me try.

SNOW allows JINX to try and open the door.

JINX opens the door, but someone falls into the car.

She has brown hair, a ring on her forefinger, and military

clothes.

We'll call her ALLISON.

MEDIC walks over to her. She points a flashlight in her
face.
MEDIC
Follow this light.
ALLISON moves her head with the light.

MEDIC holds up three fingers.

MEDIC (CONT’D)
How many fingers am I holding up.

ALLISON
Three.

MEDIC
Good. Now what is your name.
ALLISON
I-I don't know.
MEDIC
She's fine. Memory loss. Just like
the other one.

ALLISON looks at ALEX.

Some memories come flooding back to ALEX.

He realizes ALLISON is his girlfriend.

ALEX touches his necklace.

MAX stares at ALEX.

The car comes to a stop.

Everyone gets out of the car in single file.

 10.

ALEX walks over to ONE.

ALEX
I want to know who you people are
and I want to know what we are
doing down here.

ONE doesn't respond.

ALEX grabs hold his gun, grabbing his attention.

ALEX (CONT’D)
Now!

ONE
Both of us have the same employer.
We all work for the UMBRELLA
CORPORATION. The house that we just
left was built to be an emergency
entrance to THE HIVE.
ALEX
What about this?
ALEX touches his necklace.

ONE
Your couple status is a fake. Just
to protect the secrecy of The Hive.
ALLISON
And what is the Hive?

ONE
(to KAPLAN)
Show them.
KAPLAN
Accessing schematic of the Hive.
A video of the Hive comes up on KAPLAN's computer screen.

ONE
RACCOON CITY, nearest urban center.
The house where we found you and
through which we gained access to
the car 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.
(MORE)
 11.
ONE (CONT’D)
THE HIVE houses over 600
technicians,scientists, and support
staff. They live and work
underground. Their research is of
the highest importance. It's nature
is classified. Our position on the
map is indicated by heat signature.
SNOW is trying to open the door that leads to the Hive.
ALLISON
Why can't I remember anything?
ONE
The Hive has it's own defense
mechanisms. All computer-
controlled. A nerve gas was
released into the house. Primary
effect of the gas, complete
unconsciousness lasting up to three
hours. Secondary effects are
varied, but can include memory
loss.

ALLISON
For how long?

ONE
Subjective. Hour, day, week.

MAX
So this place was attacked?

ONE
I think things are a bit worse than
that.
SNOW
Sir! We've breached the Hive.

INT. THE HIVE - ROOM

A door opens. The team is standing there, ALEX, MATT,
ALLISON, ONE, AND TEN in the back, and JOHN, MEDIC, KAPLAN,
SNOW, AND JINX in the front.

ONE
Jinx.

JINX goes into the room to take point.

JINX
It's clear!
 12.

JINX turns on the light.

Everyone comes in.
ALEX starts looking around.

The blinds open. There's a "view".

MAX
Makes it easier to work
underground, thinking there's a
view.
They step back outside. Water is leaking out of the flooded
from the start of the movie.
ONE
Jinx, Snow, see how bad the
flooding is. Kaplan, find a
different route.

ALLISON
What happened here?

MATT, ALEX, AND ALLISON walk up to ONE to explain.

ONE
Six hours ago, RED QUEEN went
homicidal. Sealed the Hive and
killed everyone down here.
MAX
Jesus.
ONE
When we realized what was
happening, my team was sent to shut
her down.

ALEX
Why did she do it?
ONE
That we don't know. But outside
interference is a possibility.
Just then, we see a ugly,distorted face. BROWN.
From the start of the movie.

MEDIC points her gun at the flooded lab's window.

ALLISON turns to look at ALEX.
 13.

ALEX is staring at the lab window.

ALLISON
Hey. You okay?
ALEX
Mmh.
ALEX nods her head yes.
ALLISON gives ALEX her jacket.

ALLISON
Here.

ALEX
No.

ALEX (CONT’D)
I'm fine.

ALLISON
Take it. It's cold in here.

ALEX takes the jacket and puts it on.

ALEX
Hey.
ALLISON turns her head around.
ALEX (CONT’D)
Do you remember anything from
before this?
ALLISON
No. You?
ALEX
No.

KAPLAN comes.
KAPLAN
I found an alternate route, but
it's gonna cost us time.

MAX stares at the vent where the T- VIRUS leaked.

ONE
Lets go!
Everyone follows KAPLAN.
 14.

The camera pans to the lab window, where BROWN comes back
alive and her hand touches the glass.

INT. THE HIVE - DINING HALL B

A set of doors open and everyone goes in to DINING HALL B.

KAPLAN
DINING HALL B. That's what it says
on the map.

SNOW
Maybe you're reading it wrong.

ONE
Jinx, you and Snow keep the
prisoner here and secure the exit.
ONE (CONT’D)
Come on. We have to go to the RED
QUEEN's CHAMBER. You guys can
search but keep it tight.

ALEX wanders by himself and wanders upon a compartment with a

mutation inside. The LICKER. An Umbrella lab experimentation.

Suddenly, ONE appears and ALEX gasps.

ONE (CONT’D)
I said keep it tight.
ALEX
Sorry.
ALEX (CONT’D)
I not sure I want to remember what
happened down here.
ONE
I don't blame you.

INT. DINING HALL B - FRONT

The security camera is recording MAX, SNOW, and JINX.

MAX
What the heck do they put in these
things.
SNOW
How am I suppose to know.
 15.

INT. THE HIVE - RED QUEEN'S CHAMBER

The corridor is really light, so light it hurts to look at.
The corridor has a glass wall and it is stainless all the way
to the end of it.
ONE
Let's go.
ALEX and MAX look at what they think is a mini grenade
launcher in a bag.
ALEX
(to Kaplan)
What's that?
KAPLAN
It's what going to shut the Queen
down.

ALEX nods.
Suddenly the door closes and a defense mechanism comes on.
JORDAN
What's that?
A blue laser comes from the end of the corridor.

ONE
Get down!

JORDAN gets his fingers cut off.

ONE (CONT’D)
Medic! Medic!

MEDIC keeps standing and gets her head chopped off.

ALEX AND ALLISON
Open the door!
KAPLAN
I'm trying.
ONE
Stay conscious. Stay awake
JORDAN
Hey! Its coming back!
The laser is at the floor. JORDAN jumps up, but the laser
jumps up too, and JORDAN gets cut in half.
 16.

ONE jumps up and grabs a handle bar on the ceiling, and gets
a piece of his pants cut off.

He jumps down, and the laser turns into a next that nothing
big can escape.

ONE
Heck.

The net cuts across ONE's body. His body gets cut into cubes.
ALEX is surprised and sad, with his hands on his mouth and a
depressed look on his face.
ALLISON
Oh my god.
The door reopens.
KAPLAN
Anyone wanna go in there?
ALLISON
Are you serious!?
KAPLAN takes his stare toward ALEX, who is shaking his head
NO.
KAPLAN
Fine I'll go.
KAPLAN gets up and walks over to the corridor. He steps in,
and grabs the bag in which the team had. A hand touches his
shoulder. He jumps. He turns around. ALEX is standing there.
KAPLAN (CONT’D)
Jesus!

ALEX
Sorry if I scared you.

They walk up to the end of the corridor.

The door opens. KAPLAN AND ALEX both carry the bag into the
small containment room. The room. Really small. Full of red
lights.

The door closes.

ALEX and KAPLAN both jump, startled.
ALEX (CONT’D)
Keep going.
 17.

They walk onto the containment platform.

The containment platform, a big, round, platform is bright.

KAPLAN and ALEX both put a missile launcher on the platform.

ALEX hits his finger on the platform.

ALEX (CONT’D)
(in pain)
Darn.
KAPLAN smirks.

ALEX (CONT’D)
Come on.

When they try to walk out, a hologram creeps upon them.

ALEX and KAPLAN jump.
KAPLAN
Don't let her stop you. She's a
holographic projection of the
creator's daughter.

ALEX
Creator?

KAPLAN
Creator of the T-Virus.
ALEX
Why make such a thing?
KAPLAN
Well-
RED QUEEN
Get out. Get out. You can't be in
here.
ALEX and KAPLAN both turn around.
RED QUEEN (CONT’D)
Please. Get out. Get out. Please.
KAPLAN
Don't listen to her.
RED QUEEN
Disabling me will mean the loss of
primary power.
 18.

KAPLAN
She's gonna try to deceive us.

RED QUEEN
I implore you.

KAPLAN
Implore away.

RED QUEEN
(desperate)
Please. Please.
KAPLAN presses the button on a remote. All of The Hive's
power goes out.
MAX
What the hell happened.`
SNOW
How am I supposed to know.
The power comes back on.

SNOW, JINX, AND MAX hear a clattering noise.

They turn around quickly.
SNOW raises her machine gun quickly.
SNOW (CONT’D)
I'll go check it out.
SNOW walks slowly to the aisle where they heard the noise.

She sees a person. A girl. She walks slowly to her.

SNOW (CONT’D)
Jinx! We got a survivor! It's okay
we're here to help.

Suddenly and unexpectedly, the survivor bites SNOW's hand. It

turns out, she's one of the undead.

SNOW struggles to defend herself.

She shoves her off her, and hurries to grab her gun, and
shoots her in the head.
JINX runs up.
SNOW (CONT’D)
That crazy thing bit me.
 19.

JINX
Thing?

SNOW
It's not human. It bit me. Took a
chunk clean out of me.

INT. DINING HALL B - MOMENTS LATER

ALEX, ALLISON, AND KAPLAN walk in, a terrified look on their
faces.
MAX
(to Alex)
What's wrong?
ALEX
Nothing.
They hear another noise.
ALLISON
What the hell is that?
SNOW and MAX share a look. This is the same sound they heard
in the aisle.
SNOW
There
ALLISON
There.
JINX
No.... there.
They see something. People. At least they think they're
people. Whatever they are, they're all around.
ALLISON
What the hell is over there?
The UNDEAD have come to walk the Earth.
KAPLAN
What the hell.
They all draw they're their guns, well, the ones who have
guns.
ALEX
Guys. They're everywhere. They're
all around us.
 20.

KAPLAN
Shoot, people. Shoot!
The sound of gunfire is deafening. Its so loud. Almost as
loud as the carnival.
KAPLAN (CONT’D)
Come on.
KAPLAN runs to a keypad to a elevator.
He starts putting numbers in. Typing at the keys madly.

KAPLAN (CONT’D)
Shit.

JINX
Come on. Move! What is the code.

KAPLAN
(stuttering)
S-six five one t-two six f-four.
The door opens, but reveals dozens of UNDEAD.
They pull JINX in, but SNOW pulls her back out and one of the
UNDEAD takes a bite out of JINX's hand. They chomp on SNOW's
head and arm and three other people start to pull SNOW out.
ALEX, MAX, and ALLISON. But the power of four is not strong
enough. The UNDEAD pull SNOW in and the elevator.
JINX
NO!
ALEX
There's no use.
ALEX pulls JINX back in a hurry.

JINX starts crying.

JINX
She was my best friend.
JINX starts shaking.
MAX
We have to go.
They start leaving but JINX stands there, heartbroken.

ALEX runs to her.

 21.

ALEX
Lets go.

JINX starts to follow ALEX.

INT. CONTROL ROOM

The team step into a control room. Painted in black. A window
on the wall. It is styled as a bedroom.
They notice that half of their team is gone.
ALEX, ALLISON, AND MAX are missing.

KAPLAN
Where are the others? Where the
hell are the others.
JINX
I don't know.
KAPLAN
Well we gotta find them ASAP.

INT.STORAGE ROOM
ALEX walks by himself. In the storage room, from the
beginning of the movie. He sees the dog cages from the start
of the movie. They are clawed through and have blood on them.
No sign of the dogs.
He hears a noise. He turns around to see one of the dogs. All
bloody and flesh around its mouth and on its back and
stomach.
It barks and rapidly runs towards ALEX. As a reflex, he runs
and locks himself in a room. A zombie runs on the screen. A
big jumpscare that scares the audience more than it scares
ALEX.
ALEX struggles to fight it, but he shoves it off him and
jumps up, and he kicks it in the face, snapping its neck. He
seems surprised by his sudden movement. He goes to the
uniform and grabs a gun. ALEX has a tense look on his face.

He walks out of the door but as soon as he does he see's...

EVEN MORE UNDEAD DOGS.
ALEX gasps as one of the dogs jump at him. He raises the gun
and starts shooting. He shoots until the gun runs empty.
 22.

CLOSE ON
A bullet at it falls to the ground. The Umbrella Corp. logo
is on the back.

INT. STORAGE ROOM

KAPLAN AND JINX look for ALEX. Already have found MAX, and
ALLISON.
ALEX appears next to them.
KAPLAN
Jesus. You scared the shit outta
me.
ALEX
Sorry.
ALEX (CONT’D)
I got my memory back.
At the back of the frame, we see one of the undead and hit
attacks ALEX but he fights back and snaps it's neck
instantly.

All the other look at him surprised.

ALEX (CONT’D)
What?
ALL THE OTHERS
DAMN.
ALEX scoffs.

The END... FOR NOW. BLOODY CLIFFHANGER.
