(Rejected movie script)
Dr. Ada Wong was an Umbrella researcher assigned to the laboratory complex beneath the Arkley Mansion.[1]
Biography[]
Ada was assigned to the "C" level of the laboratory, working alongside John Marcus, the lead researcher who developed the "T"-virus, with whom she was romantically involved until his death.
When the outbreak began, the lab descended into sheer chaos. Ada sent a video distress signal, which was recorded in the lab's database, as researchers fled and opened fire behind her. She was nearly obliterated by a ceiling-bound Hunter when she was tackled in the nick of time by a man who took the blow for her, who was then mangled and dragged away. She later made her way to a security cubicle on "D" level with three other researchers; Benjamin, Toshiro, and an infected biologist who sacrificed himself to activate a safety mechanism in the hall outside.
As Chris Redfield and the remaining troopers fled from the Hunters, Ada struggled to reactivate the safety mechanism in the hall. However, as she was unfamiliar with the system, she failed to act quickly enough to save Forest Speyer. She managed to open the door in time to save the others and activated a system of blades in the floor that ground Speyer's remains and all but one of the Hunters that continued its pursuit from overhead. Narrowly escaping death as the door locked, Ada shared her story with the group.
She insisted that she and John's research was done for humanitarian purposes, but was perverted by Umbrella after John was imprisoned in his office and killed. When Colonel Albert Wesker was revealed to have the detonator to the bombs in the lab, she exposed him as a double agent of Umbrella.
Uninterested in her story, Wesker forced his way into the adjoining "D" lab—or "Death lab" as Ada called it—where the Tyrant was kept. She then noticed the wound on Brad Vickers' leg and tried to shoot him, but was forced to stop when Rebecca Chambers jumped in front of him, pleading to wait until the serum for the virus could be produced.
When Wesker obtained the Tyrant data and shared his master plan (including the ruse of a non-existent serum), Chris and the troopers subdued him. Ada managed to snatch the disc containing the data and made it back to the security cubicle where she shot the now zombified Brad after he killed Benjamin. She opted to stay behind with the data and die along with the research, but was persuaded by Chris to come with them and help save the world after he took the disc from her and destroyed it. She fled with the others via a freight loader when the countdown to detonation began. After evading several enemies and losing Rosie Rodriguez, they made it back to the mansion.
The group passed through several puzzles before reaching the outside where they were spotted by LaGuardia from his chopper. Just as they were about to be rescued, the Tyrant reappeared. Ada climbed the ladder to the chopper while Jill Valentine and Chris cooperated to destroy the Tyrant with the Stinger, a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher.
Barely making it out, they circled the city one last time before the bombs detonated and destroyed it all.
Further notes[]
- Unlike her role in the main canon, Ada has no connection to Wesker and is much more similar to her counterpart in the Resident Evil 2 prototype.
- Since Romero's script was entirely rejected rather than rewritten, Ada Wong failed to appear in the 2002 film. She was eventually used in Resident Evil: Retribution, but with a significantly different role.
