CUTSCENE METAS: MEETING NICHOLAI
working alongside umbrella’s collection of mercenaries supposedly dispatched into raccoon city to help with the crisis is a new level of annoyance and anger for jill that she didn’t think was possible. she had to watch her teammates and friends die because of umbrella’s hubris in creating bioweaponry and their negligence in maintaining said bioweaponry and when she tried to investigate the company’s operations in raccoon city, she was promptly suspended and put under house arrest by chief irons.
the next two months are the worst of jill’s life, spent trapped in a small space while she’s surveilled 24/7 by umbrella agents from across the street. she spends her days swallowing pills to fight off any potential infections lurking in her system from the mansion and insomnia medication to help her get some sleep, which is rare except for the times she passes out at her desk, only to be awoken by the nightmares of her and the surviving S.T.A.R.S. team turning into undead abominations. day in and day out, she pours over files, some snuck to her from the rpd, some mysteriously showing up in her mailbox. an investigation board is mounted along her apartment wall, decorated with informative reports, speculations, photographs of umbrella’s most notable researchers and benefactors, and a running list of every possible organization they’re connected to in raccoon city — most notably, the rpd.
it turns her stomach every time she thinks about the fact that umbrella had funded S.T.A.R.S. and she may have, at several points, indirectly played right into their hand.
to say that teaming up with U.B.C.S. is rage-inducing is an understatement, and if they hadn’t already rounded up civilians to get them out of the city via the subway train, she might not have agreed to work with them. but even though the company they work for is inherently evil, the foot soldiers dealing with the crisis are, as far as she can tell, trying to help. so, she swallows her pride for the sake of the civilians and agrees to help get the train running.
in the process of getting to the power station to restore the generators, she encounters U.B.C.S. soldier murphy seeker. up until this point, jill is very brusque with U.B.C.S. at best and sarcastic and a little aggressive at worst. she shows no sympathy to them for the situation they’re in because their employer is the one who caused it, she doesn’t fully believe that they aren’t aware of suspicious operations in the company, and she tells carlos at one point to go fuck himself because he makes a pass over comms and she’s already angry that she must work with her sworn enemies ( in her eyes ).
murphy seeker is where jill shows the true essence of her character. murphy, just like many U.B.C.S. soldiers, is an ex-criminal who was serving a lifetime prison sentence without parole for taking out a full gang who had killed his brother. being recruited for the U.B.C.S. was his only ticket out of prison and he was eager to help with containing rioters in the city, unaware of the mass infection of the t-virus or the fact that he and the rest of the U.B.C.S. soldiers were sent in as lambs to the slaughter so umbrella could obtain combat data regarding the t-virus.
he's hiding out in a garage when jill finds him, sitting against a car, trying to take care of a bad wound sustained during an ambush. he’s alone, and jill immediately recognizes the fear in his eyes, the panic in his face as he’s trying to process everything. two months ago, she and her team were in the exact same place. she sees enrico marini in that moment—hurt, bleeding, scared. and so, without so much as the ghost of a second thought, she rushes in to help.
her entire exchange with murphy lasts about eight seconds; he’s desperate to emphasize that it’s not a zombie bite, that he’s not infected. whether that’s true or not isn’t known, nor does jill care. in that moment he’s very human and very scared and needs help, which she can give. she gently attempts to calm him, telling him that it’s okay, they’re just going to look at it and go from there.
the next moment, his blood is splattering across her skin as one deafening gunshot, aimed clean between the eyes, rings out.
it comes out of nowhere, and just like enrico, murphy is dead—everything happens in slow motion as jill processes this, hyperventilating, stomach turning, bile rising in her throat at how all too familiar the situation is. when she turns to see nicholai, a fellow U.B.C.S. member, the familiarity is suffocating, and lashing out is instinct.
whether or not murphy was infected doesn’t matter to jill; in those moments he was conscience, lucid, terrified, and needed comfort, and help. she doesn’t operate in absolutes; while yes, it’s likely he was infected and more likely he would turn into a zombie, it hadn’t reached that point yet and despite how bleak the situation is, a part of jill is still clinging to the hope that this can be stopped, prevented, and taken care of.
what’s worse than nicholai shooting murphy is the fact that they’re both U.B.C.S., and jill is immediately reminded of wesker and how he methodically betrayed the S.T.A.R.S. team, leading them into a death trap that claimed most of the team’s lives and, in the case of enrico marini, directly took them by his own hand. she could never fathom betraying someone on her side and seeing nicholai so calmly take his own teammate’s life and write it off as a necessity for the sake of self-preservation is not only unthinkable, but also unforgivable. while he doesn’t try to paint himself as anything but a threat, that one action cements him as one and jill does not let this go.
she trusted wesker until she didn’t, and it had almost been too late. she won’t make the same mistake twice.

jill is a pretty quiet person when first meeting her in terms of the fact that she tends to keep to herself and isn’t much of a chatter, which often makes her come off a little cold, uninterested and generally, snobby. once people get past the small-talk phase it becomes more apparent that jill is just more laidback than anything and will hold and even initiate many a conversation.

CUTSCENE META SERIES: JILL’S NIGHTMARE
following the opening cinematic that introduces RE3R, jill valentine awakes in her downtown apartment to crashing thunder and steady rain pattering down outside. her apartment, though small, is tidy; some paper cups sit next to a small travel pot of coffee on her nightstand; along one of the walls is a board full of papers, photographs and notes she’s made over the duration of her investigation into umbrella. her modest kitchen is void of any clutter; the most she has out on the table is another travel pot of coffee, a mug and an untouched piece of toast, all settled next to that day’s paper. her sink is empty, all her dishes are cleaned and put away.
there’s a distinct lack of clutter as you roam around her apartment, contrasting tremendously with the mess you’re greeted with when you wake up from her nightmare — most notably, half-filled boxes piled on every available surface, a half-eaten pizza box sitting open on the table next to an untouched bowl of soup that’s been sitting out, and various empty beer bottles and half-drunk wine bottles strewn about. jill wakes up from her nightmare at her desk, pouring over paperwork; there’s a sizable stack of files next to her on the desk, and even more information pinned to her investigation board, with two readable files on the board profiling the T-VIRUS and accurately suspecting that umbrella controls the city through the mayor’s office as well as the police force.
it’s important to immediately keep in mind this contrast between neat vs. messy, clean vs. dirty; in jill’s reality, her apartment is a near-filth of a mess because of the fact that she’s been so focused on investigating umbrella that she’s let everything else fall off. there are various medications on her bedside table, along with a travel pot of coffee, which isn’t a good combination when half the pills she’s taking is for insomnia. regardless, jill has let care for her apartment and even care for herself be pushed to the side because she’s so hell bent on trying to crack into the secret on where umbrella’s secret base of operations within raccoon city is. she can’t afford to sacrifice the hour it would take to clean up around her, and all of her energy is being spent on the investigation. in her nightmare, everything is orderly and neat because she’s not putting enough time into the investigation, and every minute she’s not spending looking into umbrella is another minute they’re slipping through her fingers. decidedly, a clean home means that she’s not doing enough, and umbrella is going to get away with their crimes.
further into jill’s nightmare, she’s drawn into her bathroom by a running faucet, and turns it off, but not before blood starts to drip into the sink — harmless on its own, but paired with the sudden haze in her vision and shortness of breath, it’s a cause for panic.
what appears to be a nose bleed quickly escalates into deterioration of the flesh on the left side of her face; eye becomes sunken into socket, glazing over to a glassy milk-white. she collapses momentarily as the infection spreads at a rapid rate, flesh rotting around her hands, her chest, her shoulder — veins become much more pronounced as her skin rots and stretches thin over them; this is most pronounced in her arms and her face. this is the sight she’s greeted with in the mirror as she pulls herself back up to her feet; in less than a minute, the t-virus she encountered weeks prior in the arklay mountains has overtaken her body, ravaging her physicality into that of a walking corpse. with the little grip on her humanity that she still has, she looks down at the sink and sees it — the samurai edge, custom made with a smaller slide to reduce catching when drawing, courtesy of robert kendo.
it doesn’t matter much; there’s no hesitation as she grabs it, holds it tight in her grip, staring at herself in the mirror as she raises the barrel to press against her temple.
there’s nothing but darkness as one singular shot rings out.
what happened in the arklay mountains in july of 1998 is something that jill is never going to forget. she remembers every moment of the spencer mansion incident in vivid detail; the first person fully infected with the t-virus she encountered was S.T.A.R.S. bravo team member ken sullivan, and had it not been for barry being a quick shot, she very well might have met the same fate then. night after night, where she’s able to drift off to sleep, she sees ken’s decayed and sullen features, or enrico’s pained face as he desperately tries to warn her about a traitor in S.T.A.R.S. before being fatally wounded, or the horrific, towering tyrant with his lipless, sharp-toothed grin and massive clawed hand. over time, they develop past mere memories she has and into something worse. sometimes chris or barry or rebecca are infected; sometimes they don’t kill the tyrant in time on the helipad and are all blown to bits with the mansion and umbrella’s secret laboratory.
in the weeks leading up to september 28, there’s a shift away from the mansion and into jill’s apartment, but she’s taken the t-virus with her. after a long incubation from prolonged exposure, she’s succumbing to something hideous, messy, and deadly in her neat and tidy apartment, a place that hasn’t felt safe to her since the mansion and certainly doesn’t now. it’s all because of umbrella, but it’s also all because she’s been too slow to crack the case, too slow to find the location of the NEST, and it doesn’t help that she’s been stalled thanks to house arrest and irons being in umbrella’s pocket.
this nightmare, in all accounts, is a representation of failure. while jill knows the events of the mansion are not her fault, survivor’s guilt still weighs heavily on her shoulders. the reality of the situation is that she, somehow, against all odds, survived a situation that was meant to kill her and the rest of the alpha team. while she’s thankful that chris, barry and rebecca survived it alongside her, it pains her knowing that ken, forrest and kevin’s last moments were spent succumbing to the infection or being ravaged by a cerberus pack, and that enrico could have potentially survived had wesker not pulled the trigger on him.
because she survived, she takes it as her personal responsibility to do something with it. after losing so many people because of umbrella’s oversight and hubris, it’s clear to her that she has to do everything she can to bring umbrella down, but in every nightmare, she succumbs to the t-virus, and the only thing she can do at that point is eliminate herself before she becomes a puppet for umbrella.

DEEP DIVE: THE SPENCER MANSION INCIDENT & HOW IT IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO JILL’S SURVIVAL OF NEMESIS / THE RACCOON CITY INCIDENT.
buckle up, rookies, this is gonna be a long one.
jill has seen a lot in her 24 years of life leading up to the mansion incident; she absolutely saw death in combat firsthand while in the army, and with her employment in the raccoon police department, has been part of countless dangerous operations, from drug raids to murder investigations and everything in-between. she’s seen so much violence and while she’s not desensitized to it, she knows how to not let it inhibit her or interfere with her work.
none of that even remotely holds a candle to the events at the spencer mansion in july 1998.
note: do not read further if mentions of cannibalism, dismemberment, animal death, murder, child death, etc. trigger you in any way.
shortly after S.T.A.R.S. alpha team sets foot into the territory of the arklay mountains where the bravo team has disappeared, joseph frost is mauled by a cerberus pack — doberman pinschers specifically engineered with a beta strain of the t-virus, crafted by umbrella. the sight of this leaves jill shell-shocked, arguably because she is both a known dog-lover and because she has never seen anything specifically like that in her life.
keep in mind, she’s taken the investigation into the murders in the arklay mountains seriously and personally, given that the first two victims were two little girls she knew, aged nine and seven. seeing one of her fellow teammates getting mauled and eaten is jarring because of how unexpected and new and disturbing it is, but also because in that moment, she’s thinking of becky and priscilla mcgee. she’s so shell-shocked that she can’t move, let alone fire her weapon — wesker shoots a dog before it can attack her and she, chris, barry and wesker high-tail it toward the mansion.
in the mansion, her first encounter with a zombie is when she comes across it clamoring toward her; she shoots it twice before barry steps in and shoots it once in the head. they discover that it’s bravo team member ken sullivan, and after grimly ransacking his hip pouches for ammo and returning to the main hall to meet up with wesker, who has since disappeared.
she and barry agree that splitting up is their best option to locate chris, potential surviving bravo team members, and wesker, as they’ll be able to cover more ground. while jill traverses the mansion she encounters more zombies, violent crows, and a trap room that almost crushes her to death. once out of the mansion and into the courtyard, she finds a secret underground passageway and follows it, to where she finds enrico marini, injured and warning herself and barry that the entire operation is a set-up and umbrella knew about this all along. wesker, hidden by shadows and quick to retreat, kills enrico before he can say any more. jill stays behind and holds enrico’s hand in his dying moments while barry attempts to locate wesker.
jill has no doubt, by that point, that umbrella has a member of S.T.A.R.S. in their pocket, and ventures into the tunnels to find more answers. she encounters a hunter alpha and is able to put it down with several shots from her baretta and shotgun. it’s her first proper encounter with a bioweapon and the first time it really hits her that umbrella is up to worse things than she originally thought.
this only pushes her further.
after almost being crushed to death raiders of the lost ark style by a giant boulder, she finds her way back to the courtyard and uncovers the entrance to the secret underground lab beneath the estate. she uncovers documentation regarding research and development of bioweapons and is ecstatic to bring the information back to the raccoon police department when barry leads her to wesker before being ordered to leave. wesker takes jill’s weapons and intends to throw her into a fight against a tyrant, which would ultimately lead to her death, but barry incapacitates him temporarily so he and jill can escape.
jill and barry reunite with chris and rebecca chambers on a helipad, with brad vickers circling above them in the alpha team’s chopper. before he can land, the tyrant that had escaped his stasis chamber emerges and engages the four in a fight. they keep him distracted by splitting rapid, aggressive gunfire, until brad tosses down a rocket launcher and chris kills the tyrant in one shot. they all escape, watching the spencer estate and all secrets and answers within it self-destruct as they fly back to the station.
jill’s encounters with zombies, the cerberus pack and various bioweapons in the mansion and secret lab shook her up considerably during the time. at points, she’s fully convinced she’s never going to get out of the mansion. she’s separated from most of the team early on and keeps mentally preparing herself to find chris dead, or worse. even when they escape, she doesn’t feel triumphant. the crash from the adrenaline high is hard as she stares out the hatch window, watching the spencer estate and every piece of evidence that could bury umbrella for causing countless deaths to innocent raccoon city citizens — to becky and priscilla — get destroyed.
following the mansion incident, the surviving S.T.A.R.S. team goes to chief irons, demanding a full investigation into umbrella regarding their involvement in the murders, as well as their illegal development of bioweaponry. irons shuts this down immediately, disbanding S.T.A.R.S. under the guise of them being too small to effectively carry out operations. jill is promptly suspended due to her insistence on an investigation into umbrella, and put under house arrest to hinder any attempts to investigate umbrella on her own.
this hardly stops her. despite all the medication she’s taking for her insomnia, she’s still barely sleeping and has a distinct loss of appetite — added on top of her lack of a job schedule, she has ample amounts of free time to dig into the investigation remotely. within a week, she has a board mounted on her wall, and with each passing day, more and more files are being added to it.
with help from a personal data assistant she was given by a mysterious stranger ahead of the mansion incident, she compiles a list of names affiliated with umbrella’s bioweapons research: the only one that gets her very far, given that he’s still alive at the time of her investigation, is william birkin. she accurately profiles the t-virus. she has suspicions about other bioweaponry in development, such as the g-virus, but is unable to pinpoint the exact name of the g-virus and what it’s designed to do.
[ it’s also worth noting that she has a photo of an ne-alpha parasite on her board, which is the parasite umbrella implanted into a tyrant to create nemesis. ]
in addition to having an investigation board set up, jill has written a letter to chris, detailing that she’s being watched 24/7 by umbrella and she suspects that they will move in to kill her at any point. with the letter, she plans to send all of her files so that they’ll both be in safe hands, and be with someone she knows will continue the investigation if and when she is killed.
on sept. 28, 1998 at 8 p.m., she receives a phone call from brad vickers. it’s a split-second warning before nemesis crashes into her apartment through the wall and attacks her. she reacts quickly and is able to shake off the creature, at least temporarily.
while attempting to flee a horde of zombies, brad is bitten and infected — a sacrifice he makes so that jill can escape to the roof of a parking garage and hitch a ride on a rescue helicopter. before she can reach the helicopter, nemesis blows it up. jill attempts to incapacitate the creature with a vehicle and is unsuccessful; she is rescued on the streets below by carlos oliveira and taken to a temporary shelter, where she agrees to help his squad restore power to the subway station to get survivors out of the city.
throughout her venture through downtown raccoon city, she encounters throngs of infected citizens and is more than prepared to deal with it. she aims to conserve ammo when she can, shoots only when necessary, and has taken a habit of taking any useful supplies off of those who are dead and unanimated. she’s even able to hold her own against new mutations she encounters both in the city and the sewers.
in the hospital, she encounters hunter betas, which resemble the hunter alphas she encountered in the underground tunnels of spencer mansion. she has no issues dealing with them, as a result; even as she encounters more undead in NEST 2, including regenerative zombies known as pale heads, she’s able to keep a cool head and handle things on her own, following her method of shooting when necessary and thoroughly staying aware of her surroundings.
where nemesis is concerned, she learned it best in the mansion: don’t assume anything. she recognizes nemesis immediately as a bioweapon, though she can’t say what it is, exactly. she knows in her gut that the creature is a creation of umbrella and was without a doubt sent into the raccoon city incident to hunt her down and kill her; this is only confirmed when she finds nikolai’s activity log. after the second time she thinks she’s killed nemesis and is proven unsuccessful, he’s mutated into something three times his former size and exhibits distinctly more animalistic behaviors in movement and pathing. after this point, she stops assuming she’s killed the creature and sets her entire focus on both her and the city’s survival. whenever nemesis pops up, she relies on every aspect of her S.T.A.R.S. training, and falls back on basics: deal as much damage as possible when possible, but prioritize finding cover and regrouping.
while jill never expected a full-scale t-virus outbreak and couldn’t have predicted nemesis, her prior encounter with both zombies and aggressive bioweapons at the spencer mansion gave her the knowledge and preparation she needed to survive. she knows being bitten is a death sentence at best and she knows better than to assume the vulnerabilities of anything umbrella has created.
