The Last of Us

He's dead.

Who?

I don't know you.

Don't go in there.

- Stop it. - I am telling you, go back.

No.

His brains are on the floor.

You're lying.

- Hey. - Hey.

Fuck.

You been out?

Yeah, thought about setting up a watch,

in case one of those patrols gets too close.

Made it about an hour.

We'll do shifts.

I'll get you something to warm up.

Fuck.

It did not look like that in the dark.

Shit. Hey, you two. Hey. Come on.

Get up, get up, get up.

- Let me see. - Well, it's alright.

Now that we know what we're dealing with, we can come up with a plan.

- Right? - Definitely.

- Fuck. - Oh, shit.

Wha-- It's a city, Abs.

I thought it would be like a tent colony or something.

Well, we knew they had lights.

Yeah, I thought they were from little generators

- like we use at the FOB. - Nope.

They got full fuckin' power lines.

Oh, well, isn't that great?

Power lines aren't a problem.

Here are the problems.

They've got four main gates, no other ins or outs.

Guard towers flanking each exit.

Mounted patrols, all heavily armed, overlapping routes.

These guys are trained.

Yeah, they've got some vets down there, for sure.

But, okay.

Let's just say we get past the gates, the guards, the patrols--

They also got dogs.

'Kay. And the dogs.

We still don't know where Joel is in there.

Okay, how about this?

We ambush a patrol. We tie 'em up.

- Make 'em tell us where Joel is. - Make them?

Yeah, we said that we weren't gonna hurt anyone else.

- Just Joel. I'm not gonna-- - Mel, fuck. Relax.

I'm not saying we would. I'm saying we bluff.

Scare 'em, you know?

And if they don't talk, then what?

Yeah, it's not like we could let 'em go.

I do have the beginnings of an idea for a plan, maybe.

Just need some time. I have to let it crystallize.

But you're onto something?

I'm onto something.

Okay. Then let's buy you some time, then.

I'll take the next watch.

Where's the spot?

Up the hill. A little outcropping. You'll know it when you see it.

Okay.

Better be a good fuckin' plan.

Oh, fuck.

Fuckin' hour out here?

You don't actually have a plan, do you?

No, I do.

The plan is to convince her to go back.

'Cause if we don't, the only people getting killed out here are us.

I'm coming.

Hey.

Wow, you look like shit.

Dude, what do you want?

I want you to fulfill your obligation to the community of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

8:00 a.m. patrol.

It's eight?

No, it's-- 7:30. But you're riding with me and I like to be on time.

Okay, gimme a minute, I'll get changed.

I heard you had quite the night after I left.

Yeah.

Yeah, she kissed me.

It was just Dina being Dina.

She was high, she won't even remember it--

I was talking about some fight you had with Seth and Joel.

You kissed her?

- No. - Ellie, come on.

We've been broken up one week,

- and you made a move on her? - I didn't.

- I didn't make-- - Seriously?

Dina-- you-- It didn't mean anything.

She was probably just trying to make you jealous.

It didn't mean anything. It didn't.

- I wouldn't do that. - I'm screwing with you, man.

I already know. I don't care.

Come on, get dressed. We gotta go.

You're the worst.

It's kind of fucked up you did that, though.

What's everyone doing?

Council put the town on alert.

Last night, Kylie and Max found a pile of dead infected

near Seven Cabins.

- Frozen stiff. - Okay?

They didn't think anything of it until 30 live ones

broke through from underneath the corpses.

They're using their own dead like insulation.

Thirty? Fuck. They okay?

Yeah, sprinted back on their horses. Sent a squad out to clear the infected,

but now we're thinking we don't know how many

are underneath the snow.

Could be 30 more. Could be a thousand more.

A thousand? Get the fuck outta here.

Ah, yes. Certainty masquerading as knowledge.

- It's very Ellie of you. - Suck my dick.

Also, somebody told the council a ghost story

about the world's smartest infected,

and now everybody's spooked out of their minds.

It wasn't a ghost story. You know, no offense, man.

I'm gonna do my patrol with Joel.

Yes, offense, 'cause that's the one person

you've been avoiding like the plague.

Well, we're better now, okay?

As of when? 'Cause last night I did--

Yeah, I know what happened last night. Can you shut the fuck...

My shit with Joel is complicated.

I know that. From the outside, it probably looks really bad.

It has been really bad.

But I'm still me, he's still Joel, and we--

And nothing's ever gonna change that, ever.

So, you can all stop talking about us,

worrying about us, and thinking about us, alright?

So, you two hashed it out?

Alright.

Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna go on patrol with him

like fucking daddy-daughter day.

- Okay? Okay. - He already went out.

What? With who?

Dina. They left an hour ago.

For what it's worth, he wanted to go with you,

but he said we should let you sleep.

- Let's hit the restaurant. - I'm not hungry.

Neither am I, but Maria wants to talk to you.

And don't ask. I don't know.

Now, the most likely outcome is none of this

is necessary, okay?

You wanna remind me next week how I made y'all

go through all this crap for no reason?

- Yeah. - Nothin' will make me happier.

But you know the drill.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Now, half of y'all is hung over and want me to shut up.

But...

I'ma go through this anyway 'cause it's been a minute.

If you see flares, if you hear bells, stop what you're doin'.

You follow the plan. What's the plan?

Vanessa, what's the plan?

We go to the forest?

To the forest?

Do not go to the forest, sweetheart. Be such a bad idea.

Now, young ones, old ones,

right quick into basements and cellars.

You lock the doors, you reinforce, shelter in place

'til we tell you it's safe to come out.

Now, for the rest of us, where do we go?

- Up! - Up, that's right.

Rooftops, second floors. What do we bring?

Guns!

- You wanted to-- - That means everyone is carrying

when we're on alert.

Sidearms, rifles, take 'em with you.

Keep 'em on you. Safeties, please.

Somebody shot themselves in the leg last week.

Earl!

Alright, don't be Earl.

Now, bigger weapons, security team will handle those.

For the rest of you, if there's a breach,

God forbid, stay off the main street.

Last place you wanna be, trust me on that one.

Any questions?

Alright then. Get with your group leaders.

Spread the word to your neighbors.

- Let's get everyone in the loop. - Go hug Daddy.

Tell him he did good.

Come on.

This is bullshit, right? It's just a drill.

Yep, it's a drill.

Unless we're attacked, and then it's not.

Correct.

- Oh, fuck me. - Stay where you are.

Thank you.

Seth, we have something to say?

Yeah.

So, last night, I obviously had a few too many.

It happens to everyone.

People get drunk and say awful shit they've never thought before.

- Ellie. - No, that's fair.

I shouldn't have said it.

I shouldn't even thought it. I'm sorry.

I made you two some sandwiches if you're going out there.

They're steak.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Well...
