RESIDENT EVIL UNDERWORLD
[We see an opening monage of events from Resident Evils 1 through
3 as Leon's voice is heard in the background]
LEON: 1998...(sighs) I'll never forget it. It was the year when
these grisly murders occured in the ArklayMountains. Soon after,
the news was out to the whole world revealing that it was the
fault of a secret viral experiment conducted by the international
pharmaceutical enterprise, Umbrella. The virus broke out in a near
by mountain community, RaccoonCity. And hit the peaceful little
town with a devastating blow crippling its very foundation. Not
taking any chances, the President of the United States ordered a
contingency plan - to sterilize RaccoonCity. With the whole
affair gone public, the United States government issued an
indefinite suspension of business decree to Umbrella. Soon its
stock prices crashed and for all intents and purposes Umbrella
was finished. Six years had passed since that horrendous
incident...
Chapter 1
1.1 - Present Day
[Cut to the present, day, where LEON S. KENNEDY is in the back
seat of a cop car, looking out the window. Two local cops are in
the front.]
LEON (thinking): I recieved special training via a secret
organization working under the direct control of the President.
I was to assume the responsibility of protecting the new
President's family.
FIRST COP: (laughs) Why am I the one who always gets the short end
of the stick?
SECOND COP: Yo, who are you really? Come on and tell us. You are a
long way from home, cowboy. You have my sympathies.
LEON: Guess that's a locals way of breaking the ice. Anyway, you
know what this is all about. My assignment is to search for the
President's missing daughter.
FIRST COP: What, all by yourself? (chuckles)
LEON: I'm sure you boys didn't just tag along so we could sing
Kumbiyah together at some Boy Scout bonfire. Then again, maybe
you did.
SECOND COP: (scoffs) Oh, you crazy American. It's an direct order
from the chief himself. I tell you it's no picnic.
LEON: I'm counting on you guys.
[The car stops. The second cop gets out and relives himself. But
there is someone watching them from the trees. The first cop offers
Leon a cigarette, which Leon refuses.]
Leon (thinking): It was right before I was to take on my duties of
protecting the President's daughter when she was abducted. That's
the ultimate reason I'm in this lonely and rural part of Europe.
According to our intelligence, there's reliable information of a
sighting of a girl that looks very similar to the President's
daughter. Apparently she's being withheld by some unidentified
group of people. Who would have thought my first job would be a
rescue mission?
[Outside, the cop contines to take a piss.]
SECOND COP: Ah, it's freezing. So cold all of a sudden.
[He senses someone...or something watching him. He shakes it off.]
SECOND COP: Ah, must be my imagination.
[He gets back into the car.]
SECOND COP: Sorry it took so long.
[The car takes off.]
1.2 - The Unwelcome Commitee
[The car crosses a bridge and stops.]
FIRST COP: Just up ahead is the village.
LEON: I'll go and have a look around.
SECOND COP: We'll stay and watch the car. Don't want to get any
parking tickets.
LEON: Right...parking tickets.
FIRST COP: Good luck.
[Leon gets out of the car.]
LEON (to himself): Geez, who are these guys?
[The First cop rolls down his window.]
FIRST COP: Did you say something?
[Leon then gets a call from his radio. The radio is a GRVT Visual
Radio, meaning that Leon can see who is calling him. The person
that's calling him now is his support, INGRID HUNNINGAN.]
HUNNINGAN: Leon, I hope you can hear me. I'm Ingrid Hunningan.
I'll be your support on this mission.
LEON: Loud and clear. Somehow I thought you'd be a little older.
So the subject's name's Ashley Graham, right?
HUNNINGAN: That's right. She's the daughter of the President. So
try and behave yourself, okay?
LEON: (scoffs) Whoever this group is, they sure picked the wrong
girl to kidnap.
HUNNINGAN: I'll try to find more information on them from my end
as well.
LEON: Good. Talk to you later. Leon out.
[As Leon approaches the house, someone inside watches him. Leon
enters the house and finds a man tending to the fire in his
fireplace. Leon holsters his gun.]
LEON: Uh, excuse me. Sir?
[Leon pulls out a photo. The man, Don Esteban, turns to face Leon
from his fireplace.]
LEON: I was wondering if you might recognize the girl in this
photograph?
[The picture is that of Ashley Graham.]
DON ESTEBAN: Qué carajo haces aquí? Lárgate, cabrón! (What the hell
are you doing here? Get out of here!)
LEON: Sorry to have bothered you.
[As Leon pockets the photo, Don Esteban picks up an axe. Leon sees
this and rolls out the way as Don Esteban attempts to bash him
with it. Leon has his gun out and aimed at the advancing Ganado.]
LEON: Freeze! I said freeze!
[After Leon guns down Esteban, the truck outside starts up. The
truck peels off, heading for the parked cop car. Shouting and
gunfire is heard, followed by a crash, and the sound of the two
vehicles splashing into the river.]
LEON: Shit!
[Leon gets another call from Hunningan.]
HUNNINGAN: Is everything okay?
LEON: There was a hostile local. I had no choice but to neutralize
him. There are still others surrounding the area.
HUNNINGAN: Get out of there and head toward the village. Take
whatever measures necessary to save the subject.
LEON: Understood.
1.3 - The Wreck
[Leon looks over the edge. In the river, is the trashed truck...as
well as the cop car.]
LEON: Oh, no...
1.4 - Village of the Ganados
[As Leon arrives at the village, he gets another call from his
support.]
HUNNINGAN: Leon. How ya holding up?
LEON: Bad question, Hunningan.
HUNNINGAN: Sorry to hear that...I'm sending you a Playing Manual.
Hope you find it useful.
LEON: I'll take a look at it. Thanks.
[Leon hides behind a tree and scans the village with a pair of
binoculars. It looks like a normal village...that is if you don't
count one of the cops being impaled and burned at the stake.]
1.5 - Hiding Inside The House
[Leon ducks inside a two-story house.]
LEON: Damn it!
[More villagers to show up, branshishing axes, pitchforks, what-
have-you-starting some shit.]
LEON: Who are these people?
[Leon looks outside.]
LEON: What are they planning?
[There is the unmistakable sound of a chainsaw being started up. A
villager, DR. SALVADOR, is holding the aforementioned chainsaw in
his hands as he and the other villagers surround the house.]
LEON: Great. A chainsaw.
[Leon barricades the door with a piece of furniture. Outside,
ladders are raised at the second-floor windows as the villagers
try to get inside through the boarded windows.]
LEON: Shit!
1.6 - Saved By The (Church) Bell
On the hill in the distance, the church bell begins to ring. At
that moment, all of the villagers immediately forget about trying
to murder Leon as they turn towards the church.]
VARIOUS GANADOS: (Speaking Spanish)
[They pile into one of the houses. As we pass (another) Don
Esteban, he says something in English.]
DON ESTEBAN: Lord Saddler...
[Leon emerges from the house after all of the villagers exit the
village.]
LEON: (scoffs) Where's everyone going? Bingo?
[Leon calls Hunnigan.]
LEON: Hunnigan, I have some bad news. I've confirmed the body of
an officer. Something's happened to the people here.
HUNNINGAN: Leon, you need to get out of there. Look for a tower.
Follow the trail neat it.
LEON: Got it.
1.7 - Introducing Luis Sera
[Leon is standing beside the cabinet. He unlocks the door and a
man falls out of it, arms and legs tied. Leon kneels down and
removes the tape covering his mouth. The bound man is LUIS SERA.]
SERA: A little rough, don't you think?
[Leon turns Sera over and works on his bonds.]
SERA: You're...not like them?
LEON: No. You?
[Leon frees Sera and the man rolls away and sits up.]
SERA: Okay. I have only one, very important question. You got a
smoke?
LEON: Got gum.
[The rescue is wrecked as two armed Ganados enter the room. They
are followed by the 7-foot-tall, bearded village chief, BITORES
MENDEZ.]
SERA: Perfect. The big cheese.
LEON: What?
[Leon then charges at Mendez and throws a spinning back kick at
the chief. Mendez merely catches Leon's foot and with one hand,
launches him into the air...and onto Sera, destroying the cabinet
on impact, and knocking them both out.]
1.8 - The Escape
[The screen is blank, but we hear someone's voice.]
OCCULT LEADER: Feeble humans. Let us give you our power.
[Someone in a robe is holding a syringe in their hand. They
inject...something into Leon's neck while he's still unconscious.
We then get a look at the hooded Occult Leader.]
OCCULT LEADER: (laughs) Soon, you will become unable to resist
this...intoxicating power.
[Leon finally comes to. He is in another room, bound, along with
the Spainard whom he tried to rescue earlier.]
LEON: Hey. Hey. Wake up.
[Sera comes to.]
SERA: Ai yi yi. Crawl out of one hole, and into another.
LEON: You want to tell me what's going on here?
SERA: Americano, si? Now what brings a bloke like you to this part
of the world?
[Leon tries to free himself from his bonds, but ends up hurting
Sera.]
Easy, whoever you are.
LEON: My name's Leon, I came here looking for this girl. Have you
seen her?
[Leon manages to show the man Ashley's picture.]
SERA: What, are you supposed to be a cop or something? Nah, you
don't look the type.
LEON: Maybe.
SERA: Okay, Let me guess. She's the President's daughter?
LEON: That's too good for a guess. Want to start explaining?
SERA: Psychic powers. Nah, just kidding with you, amigo.
[Outside, a Ganado who looks like he has seen better days is
heading towards where Leon and Sera are being held. He is
dragging a huge axe with him.]
SERA: I overheard one of the villlagers talking something about
the President's daughter in the church.
LEON: And who might you be?
SERA: Me llamo Luis Sera. I used to be a cop in Madrid. Now I'm
just a good-for-nothing guy, who happens to be quite the ladies'
man.
LEON: Why'd you quit?
SERA: (scoffs) Policia...you put your life on the line, no one
really appreciates you enough for it. Being a hero isn't what it's
cracked up to be anymore.
LEON: Used to be cop myself. Only for a day though.
SERA: I thought I was bad.
LEON: Somehow I managed to get myself involved with the incident
in RaccoonCity, on my first day in the force.
SERA: That is the incident with the viral outbreak right? I think
I might have seen a sample of the virus in the lab at my
department.
[The bloodied Ganado enters with the axe in his hands.]
GANADO: (speaking Spanish)
SERA: Do something, cop!
LEON: After you!
[The Ganado raises the axe with both hands. Then he brings it down
on both of them.]
LEON: Now!
[Leon and Sera move so that their tied wrists are exposed. The axe
cleanly slices through the bonds rendering both Leon and Sera free.
The Ganado pries his axe from the floor and advances on Leon. Leon
kicks him into the wall, where he breaks his neck upon falling on
the ground. Sera makes a break for it.]
[Leon contacts Hunnigan.]
LEON: It's Leon. Sorry I couldn't get in touch sooner but I was a
bit tied up.
HUNNIGAN: You're okay, right?
LEON: I'm fine. There was a male civilian held captive. According
to him, Ashley's in a church somewhere.
HUNNIGAN: What happened to him?
LEON: He managed to escape.
HUNNIGAN: Do you have a fix on the location of that church?
LEON: No, but apparently, there's a secret passage in the village
that leads there. I'm heading back to the village.
1.9 - The Merchant
[After Leon exits the room, he sees a hooded and masked man look
at him through the window. This is the MERCHANT.]
MERCHANT: Over here, stranger.
[After Leon exits the building and rounds the corner, he hees the
Merchant there.]
MERCHANT: Got something that might interest ya.
[The Merchant opens his cloak, revealing guns, ammo, and what-
have-you-staring-some-more-shit.]
1.10 - Close Encounter with the Village Chief
[Leon is sneaking around in Mendez's house. Downstairs, two
Ganados are chatting in Spanish. From behind him, comes Mendez.
Leon spins around, but Mendez is too fast for him. He grabs him by
the throat and lifts him several feet into the air. Mendez sees
Leon's eyes go red for a moment before going back to normal. He
then drops Leon to the floor.]
MENDEZ: Hmmmm. You carry the blood as us, it seems. Nevertheless,
you're an outsider. Just remember, if you become a nuisance to our
eyes, you face severe consequences.
[Mendez leaves.]
LEON: What? Same blood?
1.11 - The Woman in Red
[Hunnigan contacts Leon.]
HUNNIGAN: Leon. I've been able to ger some new info that might
help you.
LEON: Fill me in.
HUNNIGAN: Apparently, there's a religious cult group involved.
They're called the Los Illuminados.
LEON: Los Illuminados? That's a mouthful. Anyway, I've had an
unexpected run-in with the big cheese of this village.
HUNNIGAN: But you're okay, right?
LEON: Yeah... But he could have killed me, but he let me live...
And he mentioned something about me carrying the same blood as
them. Whatever that means.
HUNNIGAN: "Carrying the same blood..." Hmm... Interesting...
LEON: Anyway, there are more important things than solving riddles
right now.
HUNNIGAN: You're right. Hurry and find that church, Leon.
[Leon decides to pursue Mendez. Big mistake, as Mendez is waiting
for him in his room. The village chief decks Leon, who fires off a
wild shot, catching the portrait of the occult leader in the head.
Mendez walks over and plants one huge foot onto his chest, pinning
him to the floor. Gunfire erupts from behind Mendez, striking the
village chief in the back. Mendez turn around and sees a woman in
a red dress hanging from a grappling gun outside. In her other
hand, she is holding a smoking gun. Mendez turns from Leon and
charges towards the window. The woman pulls the trigger of her
grapple gun, sending her out of harm's way as Mendez comes
crashing through the window. Leon recovers and picks up his gun.]
1.12 - Leon Arrives at the Church
[If you arrive at the church, but go down the hanging pathway,
Hunnigan calls you.]
HUNNIGAN: Leon. Have you reached the church yet?
LEON: Ah...well, yeah. Sort of...
HUNNIGAN: Leon, did I mention not to take the scenic route? At any
rate, Ashley's inside that structure. Rescue her. Hurry!
[When you so to the church's doors, Leon sees that they're locked.
Leon then calls Hunnigan.]
LEON: Hunnigan, it's Leon. The door's locked. I can't get in.
HUNNIGAN: Didn't they teach you how to pick locks at the academy?
LEON: There's some sort of indentation like something might fit
inside.
HUNNIGAN: Well, there's no use standing around. Leon, you have to
find some way or something to get inside.
1.13 - El Lago, part 1
[From a cliff, Leon looks out across a lake and sees something.]
LEON: What's that?
[Using his binoculars, he spies a boat in the middle of the lake.
Inside the boat, two Ganados take the body of the second cop and
toss him overboard.
LEON: Shit.
[Then they take off. The body floats for several moments until
something...HUGE comes out of the lake and swallows the cop
whole.]
1.14 - El Lago, part 2
[Leon takes the boat across the lake. However, the huge
monstrosity that just made the dead cop its lunch is right
underneath him. El Lago emerges from the lake in a geyser of water,
nearly causing Leon to fall over. The boat's anchor falls into the
water and attaches itself to El Lago. Leon is then pulled along for
the ride.]
1.15 - El Lago, the conclusion
[After tossing enough harpoons into El Lago's back, the monster
retreats back to the watery depths. Leon thinks it's all over, but
