Resident Evil 4 (2023)[]
In 2004, following the abduction of U.S. President Graham’s daughter, Ashley Graham, Leon is sent to Valdelobos, a remote mountainous village located in Spain after the Secret Service intercepts reliable intel about that abduction, which suggested that the First Daughter was last sighted in the region. As Leon is searching the village, he comes across a man, bound and mouthed taped over. Leon rips off the tape and the man is immediately asking Leon if he has a cigarette. When Leon denies him one, the man asks if he could be untied then. As Leon is about to release him, the man shouts “not this guy” as Bitores Méndez, the chief of the village, comes up from behind Leon and throws him to the side, knocking Leon out. The man watches helplessly as Leon is injected by Méndez with the Las Plagas parasite.
Sometime later, Leon wakes up chained to the man. As he moves, the man tells him to stop. Leon continues and the man asks Leon of his name, which Leon gives. The man then introduces himself as Luis Serra. Leon begins to pull on the rusty pulley they’re both attached to by a chain. Luis sees “Leon’s thinking,” and begins to pull on his end as well until the pulley breaks. As they work together, Luis makes small talk, asking Leon if he’s looking for someone, a “missing senorita”. Hearing this, Leon is immediately on guard and pulls Luis toward him, demanding he give more information. Luis reveals the “senorita” was last seen being taken to an old church. Moments later, an infected villager comes into the room and aims to kill Luis just as Leon pulls the chain, dragging Luis away from the blow. Together they kill the attacker with the chain and Luis grabs the key from the villager’s pocket, freeing himself. Leon turns around and tells him they’re not done as Luis throws the key in Leon’s direction, though leaves, leaving Leon alone. After Leon frees himself, he radios his agency’s support operative, Ingrid Hunnigan, and asks her to run a background check on Luis. Hunnigan gets back to Leon, revealing that Luis used to be a researcher for Umbrella. Hearing this, Leon declares he should have left Luis “in that bag to rot”.
As evening falls, Leon finally enters the church having found the key needed. Inside, he calls out Ashley’s full name, claiming he’s there to help. He finds a few of Ashley’s personal items around the area and eventually comes up to her confinement room. Ashley attempts to subdue him with a candlestick, however Leon disarms her and announces his intentions of rescuing her, though Ashley rushes out instead. Leon follows after her, saying she needs to listen as he comes up to see her standing in front of a window, watching a horde of infected villagers come up the path to the church after Leon and Ashley have a vision of Osmund Saddler, the cult leader of Los Iluminados, commanding the villagers to “deliver them to salvation”.
With the threat approaching, Ashley questions what they should do. Leon tells her that her father trusts him, so he’s asking that she trust him too, before telling her he’s going to get her home safe. Ashley says she does and the two officially begin their partnership. They move to the attic where Leon realizes their escape is jumping out of multilevel window. He jumps first, with Ashley hesitating. He tells her to trust him and after a few moments, Ashley jumps too, landing in his arms.
As Leon is fending off their pursuers, they’re spotted by Luis, who calls them over to the building he’s taking refuge in. Once inside, Leon ensures Ashley is alright, before storming up to Luis and pushing him up against a wall as Luis attempts to explain himself for his actions earlier. Luis turns to Ashley, exclaiming how Leon “found his missing senorita”. Ashley reveals her name and so does Luis, the two officially meeting. Leon begins to question who Luis is, however with the threat of the villagers approaching, he and Luis become allies for their and Ashley’s survival.
The battle seems never ending, until Ashley yells for Leon to hurry and to follow her. As she runs away, Luis follows, with Leon behind him. Together all three cross a drawbridge and are able to catch their breath. Ashley begins to cough up blood, and that’s when Luis explains what’s happening. He informs them they’re infected with the Las Plagas parasite, however “lucky” for them, they’re still in the early stages. Luis opens his shirt, revealing a long scar across his chest, with Leon and Ashley learning he was once infected himself. They’ll need the right surgical equipment when Luis proclaims he has a plan, though they’ll need to trust him. Leon and Ashley exchange a look and Leon nods. Luis is delighted that they’re officially partners. As Luis begins to walk way, Leon questions why he’s helping them, with Luis responding “it makes him feel better”.
Sometime later, Leon and Ashley enter Salazar’s Castle, where Luis makes contact with Leon via radio. He tells Leon to meet him in the courtyard to offer them some suppressants that can help slow down the progression of Las Plagas.
Eventually, Leon reaches the mines beneath the castle. As he exits an elevator, he sees Luis standing by with the suppressants, having witnessed Leon’s symptoms worsen. Leon injects the suppressants and begins to feel better. Luis informs him the feeling will wear off soon, asking him if he’s “ready to go,” presumably to go get the operation to remove the parasite. Leon declines and claims how Ashley is the priority as he had gotten separated from her earlier in the night. They partner up and Leon again questions why Luis is helping them, letting Luis know he knows that he used to work for Umbrella. Luis is mildly disheartened Leon knows of his past. He tells Leon he wants to feel good about himself and make amends.
Leon and Luis arrive closer to the surface, where they exit the lift and Luis is suddenly knifed in the back by Leon’s former Major, Jack Krauser, who he has since thought died years prior. Luis falls to the ground and Leon and Krauser engage in a knife battle. Leon is losing the fight when Luis manages to shoot Krauser’s knife away, saving him. Krauser leaves the area and Leon rushes to Luis’ side, slumped against some crates. Blood runs down Luis’ mouth as he tells Leon to take the key to his laboratory where he and Ashley can get the operation to remove the parasite from their bodies. Luis dies shortly after.
Following Leon killing Ramón Salazar, the castellan of Salazar’s Castle, he spots Krauser driving a boat to a nearby island with Ashley in the back. With help from Ada Wong, he arrives to the island as well. Navigating through the island, Leon finds Ashley unconscious in a secured room. Upon obtaining a key card, he unlocks the room and then cuts through the binds holding Ashley. He notices her worsening symptoms and injects her with the suppressants given to him by Luis. Immediately her symptoms clear for the time being. As he waits for her to wake up, he begins to feel his own symptoms resurface, the suppressant he took earlier wearing off.
Ashley wakes up and she thanks Leon for getting her the suppressants in time. With more help from Ada, Leon and Ashley are able to locate Luis’ laboratory at the summit of the island. Leon places Ashley on the operating chair and she wants Leon to undergo the operation first, though Leon rejects the idea, claiming he promised to get her home safe. He begins the process of removing the parasite, holding Ashley’s hand as she screams in pain. The operation is a success and Leon is happy Ashley is now safe from Saddler’s control. As Ashley lie unconscious, Leon passes out on the floor.
Leon wakes up in the operation chair, his first thought being of Ashley. Ashley moves to his side and hugs him, affirming she’s there. Leon looks around, examining his body, then questions if Ashley controlled the operation machine. She confirms she did, asking if he can stand. Feeling better, they acknowledge they owe Luis for saving their lives and together they make their way to the exit, killing Saddler and returning Ashley safely home.
