[edit] Background
While on the underground train to The Hive, a member of a commando team pulls open a stuck door, only to find a disoriented Spence inside. His symptoms seem to be the same as Alice, who was suffering from the effects of a nerve gas released in the Spencer Mansion. They are taken in with the team, who were sent to investigate the reason the Red Queen killed all the employees within the Hive, and is told who he truly is. Spence is told that he is a Security Oprative placed at the mansion and that his revealed marriage to Alice was a fake, only created to protect his cover at The Hive.
While in The Hive, they discover the horror that occurred there. A sample of the T-virus, a virus capable of regenerating dead cells and causing uncontrollable mutation (bring the dead back to life) was released within The Hive. The Red Queen, a state of the art super computer modelled after the head programmer's daughter and designed to monitor Hive’s activities, employees, experiments, and the T-virus, killed all the employees inside to stop further contamination. Spence follows the orders of the commando team, but when they are slowly killed of from the Red Queen's death traps, he is forced to fight along with them. Throughout the events in The Hive, Alice began seeing flashbacks of Spence and their life before, then realizes that Spence was the person who released the virus.
Spence planned to steal the T-virus and sell it on the black market, but he partially did this for Alice as well. Even though their marriage was cover for their true identities, it is revealed that they had a relationship as well. Before leaving to steal the virus, Spence leaves Alice a note as she sleeps, reading "Today all your dreams come true -x-". His efforts are not appreciated by Alice, who believes she wants to take down Umbrella Corporation by shedding light on the illegal experimentation. Spence then leaves Alice and the other survivors for the train, on which he has hid the virus samples. On the way to the train, he is attacked by the Licker set loose by the Red Queen. As Alice, Matt, Rain and Kaplan make it back to the train, they see Spence has been infected with the virus from the attack by the licker. Alice, then takes an axe, and kills him with one swift blow to the head.
