Wheel of Fate (運命, Unmei) is the fifth and final chapter of The House of the Dead III.
Synopsis[]
Lisa Rogan and G finally reach the facility where Wheel of Fate is being stored, they then race to find Thomas Rogan, fighting creatures along the way.
They finally reach an office where Rogan is recuperating. As Lisa immediately reunites with him, the mysterious figure who approached Rogan in the prologue enters the room. G prepares to fight the figure but Rogan deters him; the mysterious figure identifies himself as Daniel Curien, the son of Dr. Curien, who saved Rogan's life earlier in hopes of being able to prevent the disaster. As Rogan attempts to stand up, Lisa tells him to rest and entrusts her father to G's. Daniel teams up with Lisa to destroy Wheel of Fate, but not before Rogan tells his daughter to "believe in herself, no matter what happens".
On the way to to Wheel of Fate's incubation room, Lisa and Daniel are greeted by more mutants and the recently undead Yukio, but Daniel declares that he is not there to fight them, as he defends himself from the mutants.
The duo reach Wheel of Fate's incubation laboratory. As Lisa is shocked to discover the creature, Daniel describes it as his father's last legacy; he reveals the abomination to be actually his father, whose body was used as a test subject for the being, and resurrected through such an evil work that lasted nineteen years. When Daniel reveals that he began hacking into the program prior to the botched raid, Lisa questions the former's actions of fighting his own father, to which he states that the future belongs to the living generation, and that he is "ready to live the rest of his life bearing the burden of his father's crimes".
Wheel of Fate awakens from incubation, as it introduces itself as "Curien", ready to bring forth destruction and rebirth, as the room transforms into a cyberspace-like realm.
They finally defeat Wheel of Fate, but are warned that the world is being overpopulated by humans. Lisa refuses, saying that they can handle the future themselves, before Daniel claims that the creature is not his father, as they shoot him simultaneously to destroy him once and for all.
Daniel then states that he is "no longer bound by the past", and has begun walking toward the future, but Lisa tells Daniel to hurry out of the building.
As the credits roll, G escorts his old partner Rogan out of the building, as G thanks Rogan for taking care of Lisa. Rogan denies this as he states that "they did a good job taking care of themselves". G asks Rogan if this changes anything, to which the latter replies "it's their future. Maybe nothing will change. Maybe everything will be different." Their duty is done and they entrust Lisa and Daniel to believe in themselves and walk their own paths. G remarks that Lisa is starting to sound a lot like Rogan, but Rogan claims this as a joke, as things are already starting to change.
Endings[]
In the standard good ending, Lisa and Daniel walk out of the building. For a brief moment Daniel pauses to face the building and bid his father a final farewell, and swears he will not let his father's efforts go to waste. He also mentions that "If humans go down the wrong path again, I'll come back... to this place." Afterward, he and Lisa leave together and go home.
The bad ending has Daniel beginning to go insane and losing the will to move on, questioning his future. Despite (or maybe because of) the antidote that has cured his illness, a sudden close up of Daniel's face (and an ominous change to the tone of his voice from quiet to deep and monstrous) reveals that he has become a creature. Lisa screams in the background. It is uncertain what happens to her, G and Rogan in this ending.
The comedy ending sees Lisa's car driving away, thinking that her father and G are leaving her and Daniel behind. However, Rogan and G are behind them, leaving Lisa and Daniel completely confused. It is then revealed that a creature is driving away in it. Lisa begins to give chase after the stolen vehicle while shouting "Hey, that's my car you slimy bastards!" (In the Arcade version she says "Let's keep after him!") There is also a brief shot of Daniel going after Lisa as she chases the car saying "Say your prayers!"
The secret ending involves a mysterious and unidentified man in a business suit wandering through the laboratory where the final battle with Wheel of Fate took place. On the floor, he finds one of the small glass vials containing the genes used as Daniel's antidote. Limping on his right leg, he picks up the vial and leaves, muttering to himself, "It appears that he [Curien] didn't understand its true purpose."
