Summary Rebecca and Billy move on from the Umbrella Executive Training Facility and push deeper into the heart of Marcus' leech research, and an unexpected separation will test the young rookie's bravery and loyalty in the face of dire odds. Then, at last, the ultimate confrontation with James Marcus... but, will the T-Virus nightmare really end there? Part 3 - The Chapel Facade and Marcus' Laboratories Rebecca and Billy can only dwell on the past for so long... after all, they have an outbreak to survive. They find themselves in the school's former dormitory, which looks more like Jigsaw's torture dungeon. In an "itchy, tasty" moment, they find a journal from a past student, detailing how his friend got sick from touching one of Marcus' leeches, and the infection spreading him to him as he loses cognitive awareness. Turning into a zombie is far from a fun process. It's time to get out of this god-forsaken place for good. Earlier, Rebecca and Billy had unlocked some doors being barred by knights' swords, and it was here they discovered an inaccessible escape route in an observatory that needed three tablets to be opened. One of those tablets was here in the dorms. Time to hunt down the other two! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaAzq1xrqMI Through some healthy team-building exercises combining Rebecca's smarts with Billy's strength, the tablets are secured. Along the way, Billy shows some hidden depth as he needs to play the piano to open a hidden passageway. This is actually a great character moment for both Billy & Rebecca; anyone who has played original RE1 or REmake earlier that year will assume Rebecca has the chops to play the piece but she still needs a bit more practice! R&B use the tablets to twist the observatory and uncover their escape route. It leads out to a small inlet and grand but decaying chapel, a facade of holiness that hides the hellish experiments of James Marcus underneath. One person has to stay outside the unlock the doors; there's no canon gameplay separation this time so maybe it's better just to send Billy in this time. Seems innocent enough; but wait, is that a giant bat?! Correction, that was a giant bat. A hole opens in the ceiling, requiring the hookshot. Fuckin' hell, we left that all the way back at the scene of the train derailment. Ugh, fine, let's go get it, Rebecca, fuckin' bullshit. The hookshot gives them access to power on the elevator just outside the chapel and at last they enter the fabled labs of James Marcus. These claustrophobic halls with wealthy interiors are a hive of leeches and mimicries of Marcus, and unfortunately, Rebecca & Billy are forced to separate again to explore different floors of the labs. Again, there's no real canon path here, but one cutscene where you find an old photo of Marcus does slightly change depending on who leave on the first floor. It's back to investigation mode with one key discovery: more origins of Marcus' Leech research, and it looks like he expanded on his previous idea of using human test subjects as he starts using students and employees as food for his "children". You can see the human test subjects contained in capsules. Chilling stuff, and in an extra macabre twist, the growth rate of his leeches is used as a code to access the cable car room. Other creepy rooms include a morgue and a room for caged BOWs where you encounter two hunters. Rebecca and Billy meet up again and activate the cable car, and just as they are about to go on their merry way, Billy is attacked by an Eliminator and falls over a railing. Rebecca is left on her own. She takes the cable car over to the Marshaling Yard, where Wesker and Birkin were only just recently. Kind of crazy to think she can take that side tunnel down through the sewers and end up in the RPD. Although thinking about some of the location logistics here is enough to give one a headache. Rebecca takes the train elevator down and has an encounter with her captain Enrico in the opening section of NEST from RE2, her first face-to-face encounter with a Bravo Member since Edward on the train. and he tries to get her to come along with him to the Mansion, but Rebecca begs to stay behind and look for Billy. Enrico caves and lets her, in what would be their final interaction together. Part 4 - Treatment Plant and Marcus's Defeat Rebecca presses on, and has a fight with the Proto-Tyrant previously seen in Beginnings. Despite her inexperience and the small arena, Rebecca has the chops to put this Tyrant in the ground. Going up an elevator, she spots Billy from a walkway, but he is swept away further into a new area; the treatment plant. Rebecca presses into the plant, activates the power, and fights her way through to reach Billy. She pulls Billy out of the rushing water, but feelings of relief are corrupted once they spot what this treatment plant was really used for: disposal of Marcus' test subjects, as a mass grave of bones is spread out before them. Billy experiences PTSD and flashes back to Africa. For Billy, the casualties of so-called science is all too familiar for him. Well, there's not much to do anymore but end this thing. Rebecca and Billy figure out the plant's complex navigation, take on the Proto-Tyrant for the last time, and encounter some new frog creatures known as Lurkers. If these guys catch you, it's game over as they swallow you up, unless your partner fights them off. After all this craziness, it's time for the final encounter with Marcus. They finally see the man in white face to face, and he transforms into the older version of Marcus. He explains how during his research, Spencer had Marcus assassinated orchestrated by Wesker & Birkin. Marcus' body was dumped but one of his leeches entered his body and during a ten year span recreated Marcus' memories, personality and appearance. In reality, the Marcus we see here is just the Queen Leech, and she sickeningly transforms from the human Marcus to a huge leech monster, in a wondrous moment of body horror. Rebecca and Billy pool their might together and take her down. They take an elevator platform up but the Queen Leech is still on their tail, now further mutated. In addition to this, the facility is about to self-destruct (due to Birkin triggering it). She crashes through the platform, sending Rebecca and Billy flying. They realize the only way to end this: using daylight, the leech's natural weakness, to their advantage. Rebecca opens the shutters while Billy is on combat duty, and eventually, the sunlight floods in. She's weakened but not dead, Rebecca tosses Billy a magnum revolver, as he delivers the iconic line "Hey, Queenie, feast on this!" as the Queen Leech is obliterated in the shining sun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgQRH6Gf7rI The facility explodes, but Barry & Rebecca are long gone. On a cliff-side basking in the early sunrise, Billy throws away his handcuffs, metaphorically a free man. It's almost as if working with Rebecca and surviving this outbreak rectified the events of his tragic past, or at least eased the pain a little. Rebecca grabs his dogtags: officially, Billy Coen is dead. They salute one another as Billy says goodbye to Rebecca, forever parting ways. Later, Rebecca makes her way to the Spencer Mansion, and the nightmare will soon begin again. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.
