 RESIDENT EVIL
“One”

OVER BLACK:

A woman’s voice (and our narrator here is ADULT BILLIE, who

we won’t meet in this episode, but will get to know soon):

BILLIE (V.O.)
Scientists-- they said the world
would end in 2036.
(then)
Climate change-- pollution-- the
oceans would boil. The air-- you
wouldn’t be able to breath it.
Billions of people would die.
(then)
But they were wrong. The world
ended a long time ago.

And as the NARRATION CONTINUES we FADE UP TO--

INT. TENT - DAY (2036)

A RABBIT. In a CAGE. Sniffing the air, as we WIDEN OUT--

BILLIE (V.O.)
And this is the story of how it
happened...

To reveal a HALF DOZEN more rabbits, in their cages.

BILLIE (V.O.)
This is the story of what came
next...

Then-- JADE (30, fiercely independent), steps into frame.

Getting dressed, as she talks to--

ARJUN (40s, Indian, ruggedly handsome), on a TABLET behind--

ARJUN
...Jade, it’s been three months.

As he speaks, Jade picks up a bottle of PERFUME, and starts

spraying it EVERYWHERE. Arms, legs, neck, hair...

ARJUN
And-- I want you to be right. We
all do, but... three months. It’s
not safe, and-- even we can’t keep
you out there forever.

ARJUN (CONT'D)
(then)
You should come home.

Jade FROWNS-- that’s the last thing she wants.

JADE
No. I’m close.

ARJUN
Are you? Because I’ve seen the
data, your field reports. It’s
not... good.

And Jade knows he’s right, but--

JADE
Arjun, I can get there. Just--
give me another week.

She looks to him-- focused-- driven-- but behind that drive

is a DEEP GUILT (more on that later). Arjun notices, then--

ARJUN
Three days.

JADE
Deal.

Jade puts down the perfume, as... Arjun gets serious--

ARJUN
And Jade? Don’t die.

ON JADE. Forcing a smile--

JADE
Do my best.

And we CUT TO--

EXT. TENT - DAY (2036)

JADE. Stepping from the tent, carrying the RABBIT in its

cage, backpack slung over one shoulder. She moves away--

Past a line of POLES forming a CIRCLE around the structure--

an (invisible) LASER PERIMETER. Jade walks past a pole--

DING! The LIGHT on top of it FLASHES GREEN, as we CUT TO--

EXT. HILLTOP - DAY (2036)

JADE. Walking down a grass-covered hill, toward--

CONTINUED:

LONDON. Or what’s left of it. The city’s DESERTED.

Overgrown. Big Ben in ruins, the London Eye collapsed. And
as Jade moves through frame, we SUPER--

LONDON - 2036

FOURTEEN YEARS AFTER THE END

EXT. CLEARING - DAY (2036)

CLOSE ON: BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Crumbled. Broken. Overlooking

what was once bustling ST. JAMES PARK. But now the space is
empty, manicured lawns gone WILD. WE FIND--

JADE. Stopping at the center of the park. On a slight rise,

above a LARGE CLEARING.

She kneels, and starts to UNPACK EQUIPTMENT. Her PHONE, a

CAMERA (all slightly futuristic). That done, Jade turns...
OPENS THE CAGE--

And takes out the RABBIT. Cradling it in her arms, as she

pulls a PIN from her shirt, and--

PRICKS the rabbit’s ear. Drawing BLOOD. The animal starts

to squirm, Jade sets it down, and--

The RABBIT DARTS AWAY! Dashing across the clearing, until--

BAM! A ZERO (ZOMBIE) bursts from the tree line! Running

FLAT OUT--

BAM! Then a SECOND! And MORE! Dozens! All crashing into

each other, as they chase the RABBIT.

And these ZEROS have been around for AWHILE. They’re

emaciated, clothes in tatters. Eyes sightless and PALE.
They barely look human anymore.

JADE watches. Frowns. Dictating into her PHONE--

JADE
Day eighty-one of observation.
Pack 2426 still displays no
leadership structure.

She steps forward-- watching-- hoping--

JADE
Come on, Dickface, show me
something.

(CONTINUED)
 "One" 5th NETFLIX DRAFT 10/1/19 4.
CONTINUED:

FAVOR-- a zero with a growth on its face that, yes, looks

like a penis, as it LUNGES for the rabbit--

And MISSES. Crashing to the ground--

As the RABBIT ESCAPES (yay!) racing into the distance--

ON JADE. Sigh... into her phone--

JADE
Or any sign of higher brain
function.

As she speaks, the ZEROS come to a stop. Staring after the

rabbit, with their milky, dead eyes, as--

Jade turns to her gear--

AND SLIPS. Falling to one knee, leg hitting a ROCK. Jade

winces-- SHIT-- and sees...

BLOOD. Dripping through a tear in her jeans.

And Jade’s breath catches in her throat. Fuck... FUCK! She

turns back-- slow--

THE ZEROS ARE STARING RIGHT AT HER.

There’s a tense, silent beat. Nothing moving. And then--

BAM! The creatures CHARGE!

And Jade FUCKING RUNS! CUT TO--

EXT. HILLTOP - DAY (2036)

JADE. Racing up the hill. The mass of zeros right behind.

GAINING FAST, as--

EXT. TENT - DAY (2036)

Jade SPRINTS for the perimeter. The zeros almost on her--

“Dickface” LEAPS-- TACKLING HER! Slamming Jade to the

ground. Teeth SNAPPING as he tries to rip her face off--

WHAM! Jade KICKS the thing off, half-lunging, half-crawling

past a POLE. To the other side. Light flashes GREEN.

The zero ROARS AFTER HER--

DEEET! And the light GOES RED! An ALARM sounding, as--

(CONTINUED)
 "One" 5th NETFLIX DRAFT 10/1/19 5.
CONTINUED:

FOOM! FIRE erupts from the poles, forming a WALL OF FLAME

around the perimeter! Jade drops, taking cover--

As the ZEROS BURN! Snarling and SCREAMING--

ON JADE. Head in her hands-- EYES CLOSED. When the flames

have STOPPED, she takes a beat, looks up--

And sees the zeros on the ground. Charred. LIFELESS.

OFF JADE. Shaken. Jesus Christ... CUT TO--

INT. TENT - DAY (2036)

JADE enters. Tossing her backpack to the ground. PISSED.

JADE
Three months! Stupid-- fucking
stupid!

And as Jade beats herself up--

DING! DING! An alert. From her TABLET. Jade reacts,

digging it out of her backpack to see--

“SEISMIC ALERT” across the screen. Flashing RED.

JADE
No...

And the GROUND STARTS TO SHAKE! OFF JADE-- eye flaring-- oh

fuck... CUT TO--

EXT. TENT - DAY (2036)

Jade BOLTS from the tent, as--

BOOM! A MASSIVE CREATURE rips from the ground. Shredding

the tent, the shockwave sending the poles around it flying--

And KNOCKING JADE TO THE GROUND. She looks back-- terrified--

to see--

A GIANT CATERPILLER! Infected by the T-virus. Forty feet

long, over ten tons! It lashes the air, letting out an EAR-
SPLITTING SHREIK, then--

CRASHES DOWN. Coming RIGHT FOR JADE-- AND WE--

CUT TO BLACK!

Beat, then-- OVER BLACK-- 2022 POP kicks in, as we FADE TO--
 "One" 5th NETFLIX DRAFT 10/1/19 6.

INT. CAR - DAY (2022)

THE PAST. A TEXT tapping onto a phone--

JADE’S TEXT
i want to die ☠ *

Send. And we WIDEN TO REVEAL--

YOUNG JADE (14, stylish, and outgoing-- a far cry from her
OLDER, more hardened SELF), sitting next to her SISTER--

BILLIE. Also 14 (they’re fraternal twins). A tomboy with a

big heart. Both girls are wearing earbuds, eyes locked on
their phones, texting instead of talking.

And while Jade and Billie are twins... they don’t look the
same. They’re both mixed race, but not the same race.

Meanwhile, their father ALBERT (60s, bookish and a bit *

absent) drives, chatting away-- but all we can hear is the
music, and the sound of texts flying back and forth.

The family CHIHUAHUA (PABLO) dozes on Billie’s lap, as Jade’s

text pops up on Billie’s screen-- she replies:

BILLIE’S TEXT
shut up its not THAT bad

DING! That text lands. Jade frowns, responding--

JADE’S TEXT
really?

She hits send. And as Billie reads the text--

Jade pulls out her earbuds-- then yanks Billie’s out too.
Billie turns to her-- what the Hell--

BILLIE
Jade, stop--!

But Jade just nods toward their father-- mid-sentence--

ALBERT
...and the school! They have an
amazing STEM program-- their team
won Code Fest last year, and--

He glances back to them-- big, enthusiastic grin--

ALBERT
They’ve got kombucha on tap!

CONTINUED:

Billie and Jade TRADE LOOKS-- not sure how to react-- as...

EXT. ROAD - DAY (2022)

THE CAR glides past a sign that reads: “Raccoon Two - An *

Umbrella Community”.

And into a SMALL TOWN that’s gone gentrified-- boutiques, *

brunch spots, yoga on the green, you get the idea. It’s nice
and so-fucking-fake, all at once.

INSIDE THE CAR. Billie and Jade stare-- taking it all in.

The FAMILIES passing by-- most of them wearing UMBRELLA MERCH

(sweatshirts, water bottles, headphones)--

The SECURITY CAMERAS on every streetlamp-- QUICK CUT TO--

SECURITY CAM POV: Watching as they drive past. Then--

We’re BACK TO our girls, watching a group of people at a cafe

(”Under the Umbrella”), toasting with sangria. All of them
laughing a LITTLE TOO HARD. Just enough to feel surreal...

As a pair of MOMS walk past, pushing UMBRELLA-branded

strollers, in perfect lock-step.

Basically, it’s very Stepford, and all Umbrella, all the

time. And Jade looks horrified--

JADE
What the fuck...?

And as the car rolls into the distance, we SUPER--

RACCOON TWO - 2022 *

THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE END

EXT. WESKER HOUSE - DAY (2022)

THREE TEENAGE BOYS (16-17), play basketball in the street--

As Albert guides the car past them, stopping in front of a

MODEST HOUSE. Modern. Clean. New. The car doors open,
ALBERT, JADE and BILLIE climb out.

Billie sets PABLO down-- letting him run, as Albert moves

ahead...

JADE
Five. They have five cupcake
shops.

BILLIE
(like it’s a good thing)
Two of them are vegan.

JADE
(like it’s not)
Exactly. And everyone’s, like, way
too happy.
(then)
This place is fucking weird.

And even Billie has to admit--

BILLIE
It’s not the city.
(a positive spin)
House is nice though.

JADE
Yeah. If I burn it down-- you
think we can go back home?

Before Billie can respond, a voice--

CAROL (O.S.)
Albert! There you are!

Billie, Jade and Albert turn, as CAROL (40s, sunny) steps

from the house-- moving to meet them.

ALBERT
Carol, good to see you again.

He offers a hand-- but she goes for the HUG. Albert

stiffens, uncomfortable, as--

JADE and BILLIE trade a look-- weird. Albert and Carol part,
and she turns her attention the girls--

CAROL
Jade, Billie, it’s just... terrific
to meet you.

JADE shoots her sister a look, sotto’ing--

JADE
Fucking... weird...

Billie ignores that, putting on a game smile--

BILLIE
You too.

CAROL
So, what do you think of the town?
You know-- last year, we were voted
best place to live. In the world.

JADE
By who? Lululemon whores? Guys
that jerk off while they do
Crossfit? Elon Musk?

Carol freezes-- stunned and stammering--

CAROL
I-- I don’t--

Albert clears his throat-- stepping in-- not happy--

ALBERT
It’s a joke. Jade thinks she’s
funny.

Carol flashes a nervous smile, but moves in, Albert right

behind. Billie glances to Jade-- trying to keep the peace.

BILLIE
Can you just... not?

JADE
No.

INT. WESKER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY (2022)

A modestly, modernly furnished home. CAROL enters, ALBERT,

BILLIE and JADE right behind.

CAROL
Raccoon City used to be an old
factory town-- when Umbrella bought *
it, the place was almost deserted,
but with a little inspiration, and a
lot of work, well... it’s just *
special here. The suns a little *
brighter, the air’s a little
cleaner. And you can have a house
with an actual yard.
(to the girls)
Plenty of room to run and play.

JADE
Right. I mostly just watch
Zootopia porn, so...

(CONTINUED)

Carol flashes a tight smile-- not taking the bait-- focusing

on Albert--

CAROL
We’re just super excited to finally
have you here.

She flashes a grin, stepping into the KITCHEN--

CAROL
So, on behalf of the Umbrella
Corporation...

INT. WESKER HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY (2022)

They enter, to see a CAKE on the table. Surrounded by

balloons. Carol shows it all off with a flourish--

CAROL
Welcome home.

BILLIE and JADE just stare-- and Jade can’t help herself--

JADE
Wow, so la--(me)

BILLIE
Great. Super great.

Then-- DEET! Albert’s phone. He reaches for it--

ALBERT
Excuse me.

Jade flashes an ANNOYED look-- this happens a lot--

JADE
He’s super important.

There’s an EDGE to her voice, but Albert doesn’t hear it. He

answers, and we get a snippet of his conversation as he EXITS--

ALBERT
Wesker.
(beat)
I’ve been traveling, what--
Tijuana? Which lab? No, that’s
not-- Christ...

Clearly something’s GONE WRONG. As he moves out, Carol steps

to cut the cake--

Jade stares after Albert frowning-- annoyed. Then... she’s

had enough, Jade moves off-- and Billie follows, worried for
her sister--

As Carol turns around-- slice in hand--

CAROL
So, who wants...

But they’re all GONE. OFF CAROL. Alone. CUT TO--

EXT. WESKER HOUSE - DAY (2022)

JADE. Standing on the porch. BILLIE steps up behind her--

BILLIE
You can drop it.
(off Jade)
The bitch act.

JADE
Not an act.

BILLIE
Look-- do you think I want to be
here?

JADE
Don’t you?
(then)
You were fine with moving to this
fucking... VSCO filter, Forever 21
Twilight Zone.

BILLIE
We didn’t have a choice. What was
I supposed to do? Yell and scream
and break a plate?

JADE
Worked for me.

BILLIE
No it didn’t.

That lands on Jade-- if it had, they wouldn’t be here.

JADE
At least I tried, you-- what
happened to the chick who broke
into bio, stole all the frogs we
were supposed to dissect, and let
them go?

BILLIE
She almost got expelled.

JADE
She got fucking boring.

Billie absorbs that-- pushes past it.

BILLIE
Sometimes, it’s not so bad to...
get along.

JADE
Get along. With Carol.

She says it with a sneer. Billie meets her sister’s eyes--

BILLIE
Just-- I need you to just try.
Okay?

ON JADE. As that lands. She shrugs-- whatever-- making

Billie frown, as Jade turns away...

Eyes finding the TEENS playing BASKETBALL we saw earlier.

One pulls off his shirt--

JADE
At least the guys are hot.
(then)
Let’s say hello.

BILLIE
Can’t, too boring. *

She’s clearly still stung.

JADE
Billie, I’m sorry, okay? Come on--

BILLIE
It’s fine-- I need to unpack.

Jade gives her sister a look, then-- a bit disappointed--

JADE
Right. Sure.

She heads across the street. Waving to the guys-- they

smile, start to chat--

As Billie turns away, her eyes finding--

A CATERPILLAR. Crawling on a nearby plant. Billie reaches

down, gently picking it up and we CUT TO--

EXT. TENT - DAY (2036)

THE FUTURE. Right were we left off. WHAM! The MASSIVE

CATERPILLAR crashes down, toward JADE--

Who ROLLS, the monster BARELY missing her as it RAMS the dirt--

ON JADE. Bloody and bruised. She tries to crawl forward--

CRACK! And the thing hits her with one of its legs-- sending
Jade CRUNCHING into a nearby tree--

She drops. OUT COLD. And we hold on Jade, motionless, as--

The CATERPILLAR’S HEAD inches into frame. Huge. Hideous.

Dripping SLIME. It opens its mouth, mandibles flexing, jaws
stretching WIDE--

BRRR! GUNFIRE RIPS into the creature. It jerks back,

surging UP! But the bullets keep coming, TEARING IT APART!

BOOM! THE CATERPILLAR DROPS. Slamming to the ground. DEAD.

A beat, then...

A PAIR OF BOOTS step into frame, and we reveal--

TATE. 30s. Scottish. A square-jawed hero type, with a BURN

MARK scarring one cheek. He wears assault gear, carries a
big fucking gun, and moving up behind him--

Are YEN (20s) and MASKEY (40s). English, and outfitted the
same. In the distance, we can see a HELICOPTER. Blades
spinning, beat up, and loaded down with CARGO--

MASKEY
Jesus...

Yen steps forward, kicking the dead creature--

MASKEY
That’s a big ol’ bastard.

TATE
Aye. Check the camp.
(to Yen)
The girl.

They move out, doing as their told-- Maskey takes in what’s

left of Jade’s camp.

MASKEY
There’s gotta be twenty zeros over
here.

TATE
Defense grid?

MASKEY
Looks like. Fried these fuckers,
but it going off-- probably woke
that fucker up.

Tate nods-- makes sense. He looks to Yen-- who crouches over

Jade--

TATE
How is she?

YEN
Still breathing, but--
(checking her out)
Looks like four broken ribs,
internal bleeding probably,
concussion-- definitely.

ON TATE. Not good. Then-- Yen’s eyes go wide--

YEN
Fuck me.

Tate steps forward-- as Yen holds up Jade’s hand, to reveal a

TATTOO on her wrist. R002. *

YEN
Tate... she’s a survivor.

He says it with REVERENCE. And from the stunned look on

Tate’s face, that means something.

OFF JADE. Bloody but alive. CUT TO--

INT. WESKER HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT (2022)

THE PAST. JADE, BILLIE and ALBERT. Sitting around the

table, which is loaded down with pizza, salad, breadsticks.
Albert takes a bite--

ALBERT
Wow... I can’t believe this isn’t
real cheese.

BILLIE
It’s good, right Jade?

(CONTINUED)

She’s trying to make small talk... but Jade’s not playing

along. Just stares down at her phone.

ALBERT
Jade, you wanna be part of the
family here?

Jade stops texting. Looks up.

JADE
Here? No.

ON ALBERT. You get the sense he could SNAP... but Albert

holds it in. Forcing a smile--

ALBERT
I forgot the sodas.

He rises, moving for the fridge, as Billie asides to Jade--

BILLIE
How long are you going to be like
this?

JADE
Until he buys me a car?

BILLIE
That’s-- you can’t even drive.

JADE
Then I guess it’s gonna be awhile.

Then-- she rises, moving to LEAVE, as Albert returns, sodas

in hand--

ALBERT
Where are you--

JADE
I’m getting my period.

An all purpose excuse. Then-- she’s GONE. CUT TO--

INT. WESKER HOUSE - BILLIE’S ROOM - NIGHT (2022)

ALBERT. Face creased from worry--

ALBERT
How much does she hate me?

REVEAL. BILLIE. On her bed. Albert next to her. PABLO

dozes in his doggy-bed nearby.

Around them, the room is dotted with a “Meat is Murder”

poster, a Pride flag, a playbill from Hamilton, an easel in
the corner... all the hallmarks of an artistic, sensitive
teenager.

BILLIE
No one hates you, Dad.
(then)
She’ll be okay.

ALBERT
The move-- I know it’s hard, but... *
this is good for us. *

And he 100% believes that. Billie’s not so sure, but she *

plays along. *

BILLIE *
I know. *

Then-- Billie WINCES. *

ALBERT
Sorry. We’re done.

And we see: Albert’s TAKING HER BLOOD. He pulls the needle

free. And both of them are nonchalant-- this is NORMAL.

ALBERT
How are-- (you)?

And his PHONE RINGS. On the table. Albert looks to it--

BILLIE
Like I said.

ALBERT
I don’t have to pick it up.

BILLIE
If you don’t, you’ll stress.

Albert smiles-- appreciates her understanding--

ALBERT
Thanks.

Then he turns-- picking up the phone--

ALBERT
Wesker...

Albert steps into the hall-- phone to his ear-- hard-edged--

ALBERT
I don’t want excuses, we have
protocols--

He rounds the corner-- to see JADE. Holding a VIAL OF BLOOD.

BANDAGE on her arm.

JADE
You forgot my sample.

Albert stops-- edge dropping away-- surprised--

ALBERT
I was-- you took that yourself?

JADE
I can work a needle.

She passes it to him-- tossing off--

JADE
Gonna be awesome at heroin.

She moves down the corridor. Albert watches her-- concerned.

CUT TO--

INT. WESKER HOUSE - BILLIE'S ROOM - NIGHT (2022)

BILLIE. Looking at her phone. Funny cat videos. She smiles--

And the DOOR OPENS. It’s JADE.

JADE
Yo-- move.

Billie scoots over, and Jade slides into bed beside her. A
practiced ritual. Something they do all the time. As Jade
gets comfortable--

BILLIE
Dad’s worried about you.

JADE
Dad worries about everything.

JADE

Is it?

BILLIE
Or he’s a vampire.

JADE
Totally a vampire.
(then)
You should have come with. The
boys were cute. Dumb, but cute.

BILLIE
Right. Cool.

But she’s not convinced. Uneasy. Anxious. Jade notices--

JADE
I didn’t mean-- I’m an asshole
okay?

BILLIE
I know.

And... she smiles. Forgiving her sister. Jade smiles back.

JADE
You worried about tomorrow? New
school?

BILLIE
New everything.

JADE
So-- new us.

town? We’re going to be their

JADE
Is this about the frog thing?

BILLIE
And the Nick thing.

JADE
One, you were ten, and two-- Alex
Ingles kicked a first grader, so
you broke his leg. Fair trade.

BILLIE
No, it wasn’t, it-- I had to go to
counseling. Everyone thought I was
psycho.

Billie looks away-- bad memories.

BILLIE
I just-- I need to stop getting mad
and doing stupid shit.

Jade softens--

JADE
Look.

Hey-- look at me.

Billie turns-- meeting her sister’s eyes-- a pep-talk--

JADE
You’re not stupid, you’re Billie
Fucking Wesker. You’re nice.
You’re cool. You’ve got a great
ass, a 1520 on the PSAT, and... and

CUT TO--

INT. WESKER HOUSE - ALBERT’S ROOM - NIGHT (2022)

ALBERT. As he steps into his Spartan room. A bed. A desk.

A TV... and a LAB.

Filling one side of the room. State of the art. Everything

from a microscope to a Qiagen PyroMark Q24 DNA Sequencer.
Albert moves to it, reaching down--

To a DRAWER with a FINGERPRINT READER ON IT. Albert presses

his thumb to it, the drawer POPS OPEN, and--

Albert pulls out a NOTEBOOK. Opening to a page filled with

dates, numbers, and scribbled notes. Two columns. Under the
headings “XX3” and “XX7”.

That done, Albert sets out the VIALS OF BLOOD, then takes a
pipette, transferring a drop of JADE’S BLOOD to a MICROSCOPE. *

Albert presses his eye to it... jotting notes into his book. *
Then he leans back, picks up the SYRINGE-- *

And JAMS IT INTO HIS NECK. Injecting his own daughter’s *

blood. And as we wonder: what the fuck’s going on? CUT TO-- *

INT. RACCOON HIGH - LUNCH ROOM - DAY (2022)

The next day. A BELL SOUNDS, as we find--

BILLIE. Stepping into the crowed lunch room. Surveying the

scene: kids grouped around the tables, eating, talking,
texting... it’s all loud, and a bit overwhelming.

The SCHOOL MASCOT (a RACCOON) moves past, as Billie spots--

JADE. Alone at a table. Billie takes as step toward her

sister, but as she does--

MORE KIDS show up. The three BASKETBALL BROS we met earlier,
plus a few GIRLS. They sit at Jade’s table--

And she turns to them-- talking-- grinning-- laughing-- one

of the gang.

ON BILLIE. Freezing. She just... she can’t. CUT TO--

AN EMPTY TABLE. At the edge of the room. Billie sits,

alone, and pops open her LUNCH-- vegetables and hummus.

moves to a nearby table. One of the kids reacts, disgusted--

KID
Um, no.

Tammy flushes, embarrassed, steps away--

And sees BILLIE. Smiling at her. Tammy moves to Billie’s

table. Taking a seat.

TAMMY
Hey.

She’s happy to see someone-- thinking maybe she’s finally

found a friend...

BILLIE
Hey. I’m--

JADE
Billie!

She’s WAVING at Billie from behind. Billie ignores her,

focusing on Tammy.

TAMMY
Who’s that?

BILLIE
My sister. Twin sister.

Tammy’s confused Billie and Jade don’t look like twins.

TAMMY
You’re twins?

BILLIE
I mean, same dad, but our moms-- we
had different egg donors, but the
surrogate delivered us at the same
time so, technically, yeah.
(then)
Go science.

TAMMY
So you’re like... a freak.

Billie gives a half-laugh... was that a joke?

BILLIE
I-- no.

TAMMY
What’s with your shirt?

Billie looks down. Her tee reads: “Powered by Plants!”

BILLIE
Um, I’m vegan.

TAMMY
That’s stupid.

And now Billie realizes-- this isn’t a joke. Tammy’s been

bullied so much, she’s looking for someone else to push
around-- and Billie seems like an easy target.

TAMMY
So you’re just some hippy or
something? Like, you hate America
and you’ve got a pinecone tampon?

BILLIE
I just... don’t eat animals.

TAMMY
Why? My dad took me hunting last
fall-- it was awesome.
(finger gun to her head)
He shot Bambi in the brain.

ON BILLIE. Heard enough. She stands to go, and Tammy moves

to meet her, blocking her path.

TAMMY
You know, when the end of the world
comes... we eat the vegans first.

That gets a few LAUGHS from the kids around them. Tammy
grins, enjoying the attention, but Billie’s seething. She
locks eyes with Tammy--

BILLIE
Yeah? ‘Cause we’d get more meals
out of you.

She PUFFS OUT HER CHEEKS. And we’re ON TAMMY, as that lands.
And the kids LAUGH HARDER. And--

BAM! TAMMY SNAPS! Lunging at Billie-- sending her lunch

flying-- shoving her to the floor--

Fuck you!

Billie puts her hands up, defending herself, as Tammy throws

punches--

THE PRINCEPAL (MRS. MORGAN, 50s) runs in-- pulling her off--

MRS. MORGAN
Hey-- hey!

And JADE is right behind her-- pushing her way to--

JADE

Jade grabs Billie-- PROTECTIVE-- and OFF BILLIE. Eyes wide--

breathing hard-- what the fuck just happened?! CUT TO--

INT. WESKER HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY (2022)

A grinning, pretty SPOKESMODEL. Smiling into the camera--

SPOKESMODEL
I was lethargic, unhappy,
unmotivated...

As she speaks, the words (”Lethargic”...) pop up on screen--

SPOKESMODEL
And then, I found Joy.

REVEAL-- we’re watching a COMMERCIAL. On a large TV in the

Wesker’s LIVING ROOM.

ALBERT sits on the couch, his tablet propped up in front of

him-- three people (two WOMEN, a MAN) video-conferenced in.

ON THE TV: Shots of the spokesmodel laughing. Drinking

wine. Running on the beach. Cuddling her baby.

SPOKESMODEL
And life? Has never been better.

Then-- a quick-talking narrator--

NARRATOR
Ask your doctor about Joy, a new
product from Umbrella. Where our
business is life itself.

she taking pills?

MAN
Maybe she killed somebody.

WOMAN
(eyeroll)
Thank you, Toby.
(then)
Albert, we aren’t doctors, it’s not
our job to ask that question.
We’re just giving people the tools
they need to be happy.

ALBERT
With what’s happening in Tijuana--
we need to take a step back.

The woman leans in--

WOMAN
We can’t step back. We’ve got the *

Eli Lilly made three billion a year
off Prozac. We could double that,
in the first month, and-- *

Albert cuts her off-- that edge to his voice. *

ALBERT
I-- here.

And Albert’s edge is GONE. He’s not in charge anymore-- he’s

a dad with two teenage daughters he can barely control.

JADE
Then why didn’t you pick up your

Map.

The display shifts to a GLOBE-- the word as it exists now:

A new nation, “UMBRELLA”, occupies the West Coast of the

United States. Something called “FORTRESS SCANDANAVIA”
covers Sweden, Norway and Finland...

...Brazil and the surrounding countries have become

“AMAZONIA”, India’s now “THE FAITH”, while China and parts of
Siberia are marked simply: “SIHAI”

Scattered amongst these larger nations are small, city-state

like FREEHOLDS (Boston, Paris, Capetown, Mumbai), and in the
empty spaces between are “DEAD LAND”. Home to the ZEROS.

He expects a “thank you”, but what he gets is--

Tate nods to a locker, and Jade opens it, to find her gear.
She starts to change-- wincing. Tate nods to the SurgeryBot--

TATE
The doc fixed what he could, but

Jade ignores him, pulling on her clothes--

Billie turns up a hill, and a hulking building-- all steel

UMBRELLA HQ. CUT TO--

A BLACK AND WHITE SECURITY CAMERA VIEW-- as Billie steps to a

stop in front of it-- WIDEN--

She’s standing at the GLASS DOOR and takes a beat, not sure
what to do next... eyes drifting to the CAMERA perched above.
Then--

A PLEASENT VOICE chimes--

VOICE (O.S.)
Please say your name.

BILLIE
Billie Wesker.

A beat, then--

Hello, Billie. You’ve been granted

INT. UMBRELLA HQ - HALLWAY - DAY (2022)

BILLIE. Moves down the corridor, past offices with glass

walls. Inside a CONFERENCE ROOM, we see people testing a
holo-display-- a CARTOON BEAR bouncing in thin air--

CARTOON BEAR
Introducing Joy-- for kids!

Inside another room, an early version of the SURGERYBOT works

on a life-like DUMMY, as a group of DOCTORS stand around.

And Billie takes it all in. So cool. CUT TO--

INT. UMBRELLA HQ - ALBERT’S OFFICE - DAY (2022)

A PHONE. Playing BLACK AND WHITE BODY-CAM FOOTAGE: The

WEARER races down a corridor, turns a corner--

To see GUARDS. FIRING MACHINE GUNS at something in the

distance-- something unseen--

The man jerks back-- pressing himself against the wall--

pulling is body cam up so we get a TIGHT SHOT OF HIS FACE--

BLOODY. FRANTIC. A SCREAM in the background, as he speaks--

MAN
(in SPANISH)
He won’t die! Why won’t he die?!

The image crashes to STATIC, and-- a finger taps the phone,

stopping the recording, WIDEN TO--

ALBERT. Behind his desk. Sitting across from ROTH. 50s. A

slim German man. Direct and to the point.

ROTH
That’s the last footage, out of
Tijuana.

ALBERT
Has anything gone public?

ROTH
No, sir.

ALBERT
Good. Keep it that way.

Roth nods-- but he’s concerned-- *

ROTH *
Albert, if it’s happening again... *

He’s interrupted by a KNOCK at the door. Albert looks up-- *

To see RHONDA (30s). His ASSISTANT. Smiling. She LIKES

ALBERT.

RHONDA
Al, your daughter’s here.

RHONDA
He’ll just be a minute.

Billie smiles back, as--

An ATTENDANT moves behind Billie, pushing a CART. Covered,

and loaded down with cargo. Rhonda sees him-- SMILES--

RHONDA
Carl! Hey!

Carl stops-- smiling back, as Rhonda moves to him-- flirting--

RHONDA
You going to Susan’s thing this
weekend?

As they CHAT...

Billie glances to the cart-- and the COVERING MOVES.

Shudders. Billie starts, but the-- she can’t help herself--

Billie lifts the cover to see--

RABBITS. A dozen of them. In a cage. Billie breath catches

in her throat. This is HORRIBLE.

She quickly DROPS THE COVER--

But as Carl and Rhonda finish their conversation--

CARL
Yeah-- call me.

RHONDA
You know I will.

Carl grins-- grabbing the cart...

And moves for the ELEVATOR. Swiping his badge in front of a

reader on the ELEVATOR. The doors open, he pushes in--

And Billie watches, as the elevator stops on B4. Then--

BAM! A HAND touches her shoulder-- Billie STARTS! But it’s

ALBERT. Smiling down at her.

ALBERT
Hi.

Billie recovers-- forcing a smile.

ALBERT
Come on, cafeteria’s this way.

He starts walking, and Billie takes one last look back at the
elevator, as we CUT TO--

INT. WESKER HOUSE - BILLIE'S ROOM - NIGHT (2022)

That night. Billie lays on her bed, scrolling her tablet,

looking at search results for “Animal Testing” and sees a
familiar sight: RABBITS IN CAGES.

Billie frowns, types in: “Umbrella animal testing”. But all

the results she gets are positive: “Umbrella Wins PETA
Award”, “Umbrella Vows No Animal Testing”.

Billie’s eyes narrow-- CONFUSED-- as--

JADE (O.S.)
Billie?

JADE stands in the doorway, Billie doesn’t say a word. Jade

steps in... warily...

JADE
I’m sorry.

BILLIE
No you’re not.

ON JADE. She’s right--

JADE
At school-- no one’s laughing at *
you anymore. And no one thinks
your a psycho either, they-- they *
love you now. Which is kinda *
fucked up but, you know, bonus.

ON BILLIE. As that lands. Jade’s right.

JADE
Just... please don’t hate me.

No.

BILLIE
Neither does anyone else. And they
say they don’t, they’ve-- PETA gave
them an award.

But today, at dad’s office, I saw
these rabbits--

JADE
And?

BILLIE
And it’s gross, and wrong--

JADE
And weird-- I told you this place
was fucked.

But... kinda not our problem.

Billie fixes her sister with a look-- rightously ANGRY--

BILLIE
You said anything-- you said you
wanted the not boring, crazy frog
stealing me back.

JADE
So you want to steal the rabbits?

BILLIE
If we can but, I just need to get
pictures. Put them online. Let
people see what’s really going on.

JADE
You think dad’ll be okay with that?

Don’t care.

And we start a MINI-MONTAGE-- CUT TO--

BILLIE. On her computer. Albert’s phone plugged into it.

ON JADE. As the results load. A smile-- JACKPOT. CUT TO--

JADE opens the door, to reveal a bunch of random shit, and...

An EARTHQUAKE KIT. She pops it open, pulling out two SMALL

LED FLASHLIGHTS. CUT TO--

WHEELS. Spinning. WIDEN TO REVEAL--

BILLIE on her SCOOTER. JADE holding on behind. The two of

them wear BASEBALL CAPS... FLASHLIGHTS duct-taped to their
brims--

JADE
Wait-- our dad did that? The guy
who wears socks at the beach-- who
talks about geodes for hours?
Whose password, to everything, is

It was like-- he was scary.

JADE and BILLIE move down the corridor, past glass-walled

offices. The place is silent... CREEPY.

They reach the ELEVATOR. Billie swipes Albert’s KEYCARD--

DING! The doors open, the girls step inside...

And hit the button for B4. Billie takes Jade’s hand, as the
DOORS CLOSE and we-- PAN DOWN TO--

EXT. BRIGHTON FREEHOLD - NIGHT (2036)

ON JADE. Staring directly at camera-- on edge--

JADE
You don’t want to do this.

She’s talking to Tate, who sits opposite. Gun in hand.

TATE
Agree to disagree.

JADE
Umbrella-- you play with them, you
lose. Always.

TATE
I’m not playing. I just happen to
have something they want.

JADE
If this is about money-- call Arjun
Batra in Madrid. He’ll match--

TATE
It’s not about money.

JADE
(snapping)
Then what the fuck do you want?

TATE
A life.

He leans in-- laying it out--

TATE
I hand you over, I get a pass to
Umbrella Territory.

You’ve seen the vids, right? Sun,
surf, white picket fences-- nothing
but rich, happy bastards... and not
a zero in sight. It’s paradise.

You’re damaged goods.

Tate HARDENS. What does that mean? Then--

WHOOM! The BLACKHAWKS we saw earlier arrive-- descending on

the Freehold. People SCATTER as Tate glances to Yen--

TATE
(re: Jade)
Watch her.

The helicopters LAND... and UMBRELLA TROOPS pour out of them.

Dressed in RIOT GEAR, and armed to the teeth. And right
behind them...

Is a CHUBBY MAN in a suit. Meet RICHARD BAXTER (30s, sweaty,

more middle-management than super-soldier) who promptly gets
his PANTS stuck on the chopper’s doorframe.

As Baxter struggles-- come on!-- Tate and Maskey trade an

amused look. Then--

RIP! Baxter tears loose-- stumbles-- but collects himself,

and plasters on a goofy, innocent grin-- moves for Tate--

BAXTER
Mr. Tate.

TATE
Mr. Baxter. Your girl’s over there. *

He nods toward Jade-- Baxter sees her--

BAXTER
Cool.

And-- BLAM! He SHOOTS TATE IN THE HEAD!

Tate falls. DEAD. And as Yen stares-- in SHOCK--

WHAM! Jade MAKE HER MOVE. Kicking him in the knee--

dropping him-- then RACING for the MED BAY, as--

The UMBRELLA TROOPS OPEN FIRE! Mowing down the scavengers.

And as bullets fly, we CUT TO--

The LAB. A vast space, filled with computers, chemicals, and

cages-- full of ANIMALS. Rabbits. Rats. Birds. Even a
couple of MONKEYS. Jade takes it all in...

JADE
Dude... fucked up...

BILLIE frowns... and gets to work, snapping PICTURES with her

phone--

As Jade scans the space--

JADE
If they’re hiding this... what else
are they hiding?

But Billie’s barely listening, she thumbs a TWEET out on her

phone-- tries to hit send--

BILLIE
Shit.
(off Jade)
No signal.
(then, re: a computer)
That computer-- is it online?

Jade moves to the computer, hits a button--

And a LOG IN SCREEN pops up. Asking for “Name” and

“Password”. Jade keys in “Albert Wesker” and, as previous
established, his PASSWORD FOR EVERYTHING: “Spock21”. Then--

The screen comes alive with ALBERT’S PERSONAL FILES...

flashing on screen-- *

Including a folder labeled “Raccoon City Incident - 1998”. *

Jade CLICKS ON IN-- *

And an AFTER ACTION REPORT FLARES UP. Jade’s eyes go wide, *

as we POP IN on: Pictures of the original Raccoon City. *
Then a line: “10 MEGATON DEVICE DETONATED”. Then shots of *
DEAD BODIES, piles of them. Ripped apart. It’s HORRIFIC. *
And as Jade processes all this-- what the Hell?! *

The sound of SIRENS rips through the air. From outside. *

Getting CLOSER.

Jade looks up-- fuck-- to see Billie staring back at her--

JADE
I don’t-- we have to go.

But Billie’s not done, she beelines for a LARGE METAL CRATE
at the center of the room. A keycard lock, small barred
windows, and a LABEL on the side: “JOYXTRIAL998”.

JADE
Billie!

BILLIE
I have to get pictures-- of
everything!

The SIRENS again-- Jade looks back-- then to her sister--

JADE
Just-- hurry.

But it’s TOO LATE. Billie raises Albert’s KEYCARD--

SHK! The LOCKS on the door disengage--

And the ANIMALS START TO GO CRAZY. Bird squawking. Monkeys

pounding on their cages. Jade moves to Billie-- freaked--

JADE
Billie...

But it’s too late. Billie pulls the CAGE OPEN to reveal--

DARKNESS. Deep. Black. She raises her camera--

And RED EYES flare. Deep in the crate. Billie freezes...

what the Hell?... then--

BOOM! SOMETHING ATTACKS! A DARK shape, lunging at Billie!

And Jade’s barely able to pull her back, the girls crashing
to the floor, as--

As A MASSIVE DOG emerges. A DOBERMAN. But... something’s

wrong. One of its eyes is WHITE, and the flesh around its
mouth, and along the right side of its body has been eaten
away. Revealing bone.

Resident Evil fans will recognize this as one of the game’s

CLASSIC CREATURES, but to Jade and Billie... it’s a MONSTER.

The dog turns on our girls... red eye blazing... like it’s
staring into their soul. And--

reaches out, pulling a table over--

WHAM! And the dog HITS IT. Slowing it down just enough--

For Jade and Billie to get to the ELEVATOR. Jade hits the
button-- the doors start to close--

As the dog recovers-- breaks into a RUN! And at the LAST

POSSIBLE SECOND--

BILLIE
I don’t, I--

BAM! A noise behind. Billie and Jade turn to see--

sees Billie and Jade--

And our girls FUCKING RUN! CUT TO--

INT. MEDICAL BAY - NIGHT (2036)

THE FUTURE. JADE frantically searches the building-- looking

for a WEAPON, as--

cover, as... a TROOPER steps in. Holding a flamethrower. He
surveys the room, and we play the tension a beat, until...

Still good.

He glances at the room-- casually--

BAXTER
Find her. Burn the rest.

He moves off, as the trooper raises his weapon-- FOOM! And

unleashes a blast of FIRE. Setting the room ablaze--

And we’re ON JADE. Cornered. Desperate. Fuck! CUT TO--

EXT. BRIGHTON FREEHOLD - NIGHT (2036)

JADE. Bursting from the BACK of the med bay. Fire raging
behind her. She glances at the Freehold--

To see nothing but death. A few of the scavengers are

But it sparks off his armor-- BLAM! And Maskey goes down.

OFF JADE. Breathing hard. Knows what she has to do-- CUT TO--

flashing against the wall. Right behind them. CUT TO--

ARE GONE. The monster slows... sniffing the air... moving
past a glass-walled office...

And we PUSH THROUGH THE GLASS TO FIND--

OPENING THE DOOR... peering out... as--

Jade stands-- elbow bumping a console on the table--

And the holographic CARTOON BEAR we saw earlier FLARES TO

LIFE! Chirping--

CARTOON BEAR
Introducing Joy-- for kids!

Billie jerks back-- fuck! As-- THE DOG BARKS. Going crazy.
Racing toward them--

Bille ducks under the table-- Jade right behind, and then
they realize--

JADE

Billie’s eyes go wide-- she looks--

IT’S OPEN! Just a crack, but-- Billie starts for it--

BAM! And the DOG HITS THE DOOR. Forcing it wide--

Jade and Billie huddle back, behind the conference table’s

wide leg, as--

THE DOG STEPS IN. Sniffing the air, as the BEAR SINGS--

CARTOON BEAR

in my heart! Down in my heart!

Our girls go STILL, as the dog PROWLS the room. Paws tapping
the floor. Billie and Jade FLINCHING with every step. Then--
SILENCE. It stopped.

BAM! And the DOG IS THERE! Snarling-- SNAPPING--

Outside, SIRENS WAIL and LIGHTS FLASH as a line of UMBRELLA

SECURITY SUVs race for the building--

And Jade’s so fucking happy to see them, she tries to open

But it’s LOCKED. Jade pounds on the glass-- calling for HELP--

Hey-- help!

But there’s no response-- they can’t hear her-- too far away--

CRASHING THROUGH! (a classic Resident Evil scare!)

And SLAMMING INTO BILLIE! Driving her to the ground.

Tearing into her. Billie SCREAMS-- and so does JADE--

JADE
No!

Billie WRITHES as the dog takes BITES out of her-- her chest--

And we go SLO-MO, as Jade’s legs tense-- and she JUMPS!
