The first 200 lines.
Henry, give me the gun.
Come on, give me the gun.
What did I do?
Gimme the gun.
Gimme the gun, Henry.
Gimme the gun.
Henry, no!
And the gun.
Who the hell are you?
Just someone passin' through.
Take the gun out, two fingers only, put it outta reach.
Why didn't you shoot him?
The gun's all the way over there.
- He didn't hurt me, by the way. - Yeah, I got eyes.
You made him soup?
Yeah, I did.
- It's cold out. - I'm lookin' for my brother.
- Well, I ain't seen him. - I haven't told you what he looks like.
- He look anything like you? - A bit.
- Then I ain't seen him. - He's got a girl with him.
Can I come down?
No. Ellie!
What did I just say?
Joel, come on. They're like a thousand.
- Who's this little psycho? - Never mind her.
I need you to tell us where we are.
If you got a map, why you lost?
Must've missed all the street signs in the enormous fucking forest.
Ho-ly.
We're somewhere here. Exactly where?
And your answer better be the same as your wife's.
Did you tell him the truth?
Yeah.
Are you tellin' me the truth?
Yeah.
Well, you found a great place to hide, I guess.
Hide?
Came here before you were born, sonny.
- Get the hell away from everybody. - I didn't want to.
Listen, I didn't mean to upset you about your brother,
but if you've come this far,
then you know what's out there.
- You seen Cody? - Yeah, got close enough.
It's crawling with Infected.
Yeah, Laramie and Wind River Reservation.
Anywhere people used to be, you can't go there no more.
- So you haven't heard the name Tommy? - Nope.
What about the Fireflies?
We get those in the summer.
Not the bugs, the people.
There are firefly people?
- You got any advice on the best way west? - Yeah.
Go east.
But you never go past the river here.
- Ever. - What's past the river?
Death.
We never seen who's out there,
but we see the bodies they leave behind.
Some Infected, some not.
If your brother's west of the river, he's gone.
You're not gonna scare us.
Scared him.
You don't seriously believe them.
They've lived here a long time.
- Put that back. - They don't know anything.
Never heard of the Fireflies.
Joel? Joel?
Joel, are you okay?
- Joel? - Shut up.
Holy shit, are you dying?
I'm okay.
- Okay, okay. - Okay, are you okay?
- I'm fine. - No, no, but are you?
Because just a reminder that if you're dead, I'm fucked.
- I said I'm fine. - Okay.
It's just the cold air all of a sudden.
All right.
So let's go and find Tommy and the Fireflies.
It's gonna be easy.
All we have to do is cross the River of Death.
The River of Death. Scary.
Don't start.
It's too close to dark.
There's some caves along the river.
We'll set up camp there, cross in the mornin'.
Good. I'm starving.
Should've stolen two rabbits.
We can get our own rabbits.
You gonna teach me how?
Just keep movin'.
Come down from there. You're gonna break your neck.
Can I have some?
- No. - What? Just to warm up.
C'mon.
Yep, still gross.
So I've been thinking.
Let's say we find the Fireflies, it all works,
they draw my blood and put it through
some of their fancy machines and make a cure.
Okay?
Then what?
- Like, what do we do? - It's "we"?
Okay, fine. Whatever. You.
You can do anything you want.
Where are you going? What are you doing?
It's never been an option.
Maybe
an old farmhouse, some land
a ranch.
Cool. What kind?
Sheep.
- I would raise sheep. - Sheep.
They're quiet
do what they're told.
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
So, just you and a buncha sheep.
Romantic.
And what about you? Where are you gonna go?
It's probably because I grew up in the QZ.
Behind you, there's ocean,
and ahead of you, there's a wall.
Nowhere else to look but up.
I read everything I could in the school library.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell.
But you know who my favorite is?
- Sally Ride. - Sally fuckin' Ride!
Best astronaut name ever.
It'll work, right?
The vaccine?
It's a little late to start wonderin'.
- I tried, with Sam. - Tried what?
I knew he was infected.
I rubbed some of my blood into his bite.
I know, I know, it was stupid.
But I
I wanted to save him.
Well, I reckon it's a lot more complicated than that.
Marlene, she's a lotta things, but she's no fool.
If she says they can do it, they can do it.
You wanna take first watch or second?
I'll do both.
Get some sleep.
Dream of
sheep ranches on the moon.
I will.
Still mumbling in your sleep.
I woke up early.
You were passed out, so I took second watch.
You gotta wake me up if that happens.
- You can't do things like this. - But I can.
'Cause I just did.
I'm responsible for you, okay?
Then don't fall asleep.
I was quiet, I checked my six,
I looked for tracks, I found the high ground,
and I kept watch.
Like you taught me to.
What can I say, man? I'm a natural.
You wake me up next time.
Yes, sir.
The River of Death. Still no people.
Fine.
I'm learning how to whistle.
You don't know how to whistle?
Does it sound like I know how to whistle?
No.
Seriously, though, how the fuck do you do that?
- Talent. - Whatever.
You should teach me how to hunt.
Huh.
"Huh." Like, "She's a girl. She can't handle it."
You can handle the shootin'.
- Not so sure about the dressin'. - What's the dressin'?
- The part where you take the guts out. - Oh, yeah.
Why do they call it dressing?
It's like, you should call it undressing
'cause it is. It's like
undressing from the inside.
Still interested, though.
Dam.
You're no Will Livingston.
Yeah, yeah, but who is?
- So that made electricity? - Yeah.
Don't ask me. I don't have a clue.
You know, you could've just made something up.
I would've believed you.
Look at that river. It's crazy blue.
Hey, Joel, what if this is the River of Death?
Get behind me.
We ain't lookin' for any trouble.
We're just passin' through.
Drop the gun.
You
take five steps back.
How 'bout we just talk this through?
How 'bout you shut the fuck up?
Okay, easy.
You'll be okay.
You been near Infected?
There's no Infected out here.
