[Joel wakes up on the beach.]

Sam: Henry! He's awake.

Ellie: Hey, you. We're alive. Okay.

Henry: See? What'd I tell you, huh? He's good. Everything's fine. You know, Sam's the one who spotted you. You guys had taken quite a bit of water when--

[Joel knocks Henry over and gets out his gun.]

Henry: What the fuck's wrong with you?

Sam: Henry!

Joel: Get back, son!

Henry: It's fine! Hey, hey, hey, hey... He's pissed but he's not gonna do anything.

Joel: You sure about that?

Sam: Stop!

Ellie: Joel.

Joel: He left us to die out there.
Henry: No. You had a good chance of making it, and you did. But coming back for you meant putting him at risk. Stay back. If it was the other way around, would you have come back for us? I saved you.

Ellie: He saved me too. We woulda drowned.

[Joel throws the pistol back in the sand.]

Henry: It's fine though. I'm okay. Y'know, for what it's worth, I'm really glad we spotted you. Now, that radio tower is on the other side of this cliff. Okay? Place is gonna be full of supplies. You're gonna be really happy you didn't kill me. Hey, we're gonna search this area. See what we come up with.

Ellie: That was intense. You cool?

Joel: Yeah. Let's go find that radio tower.

[They split off into two groups.]

Ellie: For a second there, I thought you might shoot him.

Joel: Yeah...almost did.

Ellie: They're alright. I think it's good to have 'em around.

Joel: I think you're right.

Sam: Um, do you trust him?

Henry: Yeah, I do. Hey, don't worry about it. We're fine now, okay?
Sam: Yeah.

Henry: You gotta believe me on this, Sam, alright?

Sam: Sure.

Ellie: Hey, maybe we can find something in that boat over there.

Henry: Keep your eyes peeled!

Joel: Way ahead of you, kid.

Ellie: Whoa.

Joel: What?

Ellie: First time on a boat.

Joel: Well, it's a little bit different in the water.

Ellie: One step at a time.

Sam: Hey, Ellie. I think we found something!

Ellie: Let's go see what it is.
[They climb up to a large sewer grate in the side of the cliff.]

Henry: Hey, I bet this goes all the way through. Gimme a hand with this.

Joel: Alright, same time. Come on.

Henry: Let's do it.

Joel: Alright, c'mon, kids, go.

Henry: Alright. Here we go.

Joel: You go in.

Henry: Okay.

[They all scramble in.]

Henry: Hey, flashlights out. Sam, stay--

Sam: Stay close, I know.

Henry: Someone's finally learning.

Ellie: See anything?

Joel: Uh-huh. Gotta find a different way.

Ellie: Joel, we should see what's over here.

Joel: It's blocked.

[Joel finds a loose vent cap.]

Ellie: If you can get it open, I can crawl through and clear that door. Oh, yeesh. That is a big rat. And...voila

[She opens the door.]

Ellie: Do you think they'll join us all the way to Tommy's?

Joel: Well, I don't know. We're just gonna have to see how everything pans out.

Henry: This way. Yeah, looks like there's a path up ahead. Right here.

[They come to a flooded cistern.]

Sam: Can we get out this way?

Henry. Nah, there's no way to reach that.

Sam: Well, I can't swim.

Ellie: That makes two of us.

Henry: Alright, Joel, how do we get across?

Joel: Guess we gotta figure somethin' out.

Henry: Hey, this thing's on some kinda track. Maybe there's a way we can use it. Hey, maybe this'll lead to somewhere.

Ellie: Look, a generator.

Henry: It's jammed!

[Joel unclogs the sluice.]

Joel: Henry, give it a shot!

Henry: Alright! Here we go. Yep -- it's working!

Joel: I'll go have a look. You keep an eye out.

Henry: Joel! You okay?

Joel: Yeah! Still in one piece.

[Joel returns with a pallet.]

Ellie: Oh -- this thing again.

Joel Let's go Ellie.

Henry: Oh, there you go. That's smart.

Ellie: Ahh, I can't wait to get outta this place.

Joel: Alright, see if that generator's still got some juice.

Ellie: Here goes nothin'. Alright!

Sam: Huh. I can't believe that actually worked.

Henry: Yeah, don't jinx us.

[He pulls Joel out of the water.]

Henry: I gotta say, I'm impressed with you two.

Ellie: Pssh...we're pros at this by now.

[They come to a door with childish drawings by the door.]

Ellie: Uh...what's up with this?

Sam: You think there's people inside?

Henry: Maybe.

Ellie: Are we really going in there?

[They open the door, but it sets off a trap that drops glass bottles.]

Joel: Oh shit.

Henry: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sam: It's a sound trap.

Ellie: A what?

Joel: It's a sort of alarm.

Ellie: I don't hear anything.

Joel: Someone used to live here. Don't look like that's the case anymore.

Sam: Who would stay in here?

Henry: Well, someone who thought they could keep a place like this safe.

Joel: Ugh.

[They come to a corner with a soccer net drawn on the wall.]

Ellie: Oh, awesome.

Joel: Ellie, don't--

Ellie: Ah, calm down. Sam, stand by those posts over there. Yeah.

Sam: Okay.

Ellie: Ready?

Sam: Oh, Henry, did you see that?

Henry: Let's keep it down, buddy, okay?

Sam: Yeah. Sorry.

Ellie: You hear that? Infected.

Joel: Shh, shhh. Quiet.

[The enemies start attacking.]

Henry: There's three more heading our way!

[They put down the infected.]

Ellie: Well, I guess we know what happened to these people.

Joel: Seeing as how there was a clicker, they must've been gone for awhile.

Henry: We keep moving forward. All we can do is hope that there aren't any more of 'em. Doubtful, I know.

[They come to a room with a balcony.]

Ellie: Hey. You think that leads out?

Henry: Could be. It's too high for a boost. Maybe there's another way to get there.

Joel: Oh shit. Get back!

Ellie: What?

[The door Joel opened drops a partition, separating him from Ellie and Henry.]

Henry: Sam!

Sam: Yeah, I'm cool.

Joel: That was me. I must've triggered some sort of safety gate or somethin'. Henry, see if we can lift this.

Ellie: So...this is awkward.

Sam: Yeah, I know. It's like every time--

Ellie: Clickers!

Joel: What?

Henry: Hey, this thing isn't budging, man.

Joel: Just go, get outta here.

Henry: Sam, you stay close to him.

Ellie: Henry, we gotta fucking move!

Henry: You keep him safe!

Joel: Go! Shh, shh, shh.

[He watches as they're chased off by clickers.]

Joel: We're gonna be fine.

Henry: Yeah, yeah I know.

Joel: Alright, come on, kid. See if we can find a way outta here, yeah?

Henry: Okay.

[Joel kills a massive horde of infected by himself.]

Sam: You did it.

Joel: We're gonna keep going. You good?

Sam: Yeah. I bet there were a lot of them here. People, I mean.

Joel: Looks like it.

[They venture further into the compound.]

Sam: Look at this place. It's like a classroom. Why couldn't they keep it safe?

Joel: Son, I wish I knew. God knows they didn't deserve it. You think you can knock that ladder down?

Sam: Yeah.

Joel: Go ahead.

[He boosts him up the ledge.]

Sam: There we go.

Joel: Good job, kid.

Ellie: Fucking thing!

Sam: Is that Ellie?

Joel: C'mon.

[They enter a new room, just as Henry and Ellie do the same.]

Sam: Joel, that's them.

Henry: Sam!

Ellie: Oh thank god. We gotta keep running.

Henry: Doorway -- over there! Sam!

Ellie: Run! There's too many of 'em!

[They flee into a new room.]

Joel: Ellie! Get away from the door!

Henry: Maybe if we push it together.

[Sam crawls through a duct.]

Ellie: Sam! He just crawled through!

Henry: He what? Sam, what the hell are you doin'?

Sam: Getting us outta here!

Henry: Well, hurry up then!

[Sam unjams the door.]

Joel: Alright, go.

Henry: Everyone, upstairs. Let's go!

[They scramble upstairs to the final exit, but...]

Henry: Damn thing's stuck!

Ellie: Gimme a boost! I can get through that window.

Henry: Open it from the other side.

Joel: Make it fast!

Henry: C'mon, Sam, you're not staying in here.

Sam: What about you?

Henry: I'll be fine. C'mon. Go.

[He boosts the kids out the door to safety.]

Joel: Get ready!

Henry: Fuck. Here we go!

[They fight for awhile, until the kids open the door.]

Ellie: We got it!

Joel: Alright, move! Let's go, let's go!

[They quickly slip outside and barricade the door again.]

Henry: Fresh air...

Joel: Oh...

[They see a graffiti warning on the exterior, warning of infected inside.]

Ellie: Wha--

Sam: Look at this.

Ellie: Oh, are you fucking kidding me? Thanks for the warning on the other
side, guys.

Joel: So, where's this tower?

Henry: We're close. C'mon, let's go. Hey. How you doin', little man?

Sam: That was a close one, huh?

Henry: Yeah. Not one of our finest moments, but we made it out.

Sam: Yeah.

[The military radio tower's off in the distance.]

Henry: Hey, look at that. Yep, what'd I tell you, huh?

Joel: Let's find a way around to it. What about you, how you holdin' up?

Ellie: Business as usual, right? When I was with Henry, I took out a couple of infected by myself. You'd be proud.

Joel: Yeah.

[They walk into an old suburb.]

Sam: It was pretty intense back there, huh?

Ellie: Yeah. Totally.

Sam: How'd you two end up together?

Ellie: Oh...a friend of mine, Marlene, asked him to take me to the Fireflies.

Sam: You seem to get along well.

Ellie: Yeah, well...now I just boss him around. Isn't that right, Joel?

[They walk back onto the street.]

Ellie: What was this place like without infected? Tsh...I can't even imagine it.

Sam: "Will shoot on sight." Lots of friendly people lived here.

Henry: First few months after the outbreak, they had a lot of lootin'. Everyone got paranoid. You remember any of that, Joel?

Joel: Everyone barricaded themselves in their homes, then supplies started running low. That's when you saw what people are really capable of.

Henry: I was just five when the cordyceps hit. My memory's pretty hazy, but I remember living in a neighborhood just like this.

Ellie: What do you remember?

Henry: Uhh...barbecues. Parents, they would throw these crazy big barbecues and invite a ton of people. You know, I remember the smell more than anything. Weird.

[Ellie spots some dogs.]

Ellie: Oh. Doggies.

Joel: You're gonna want to stay away from those. It's not like it is in the zone. These are wild.

Ellie: What is this?

Sam: Oh, this is an ice cream truck.

Ellie: An ice cream truck?

Sam: Yeah, Henry told me about these. They'd sell ice cream out of the truck.

Ellie: What? No way. Joel?

Joel: It's true. This thing would drive around and play real loud, creepy music and kids would come running out to buy ice cream.

Ellie: You're totally fucking with me.

Joel: Um-mmm. Serious.

Ellie: Man, you lived in a strange time.

Sam: Told you so.

Ellie: Agghh...is anybody else hungry?

Sam: Yes.

Henry: Hey guys -- we break when we get to the radio tower.

Sam: Alright.

[The kids play darts in one of the houses.]

Sam: Darts.

Ellie: Right.

Henry: Hey, Sam...be careful.

Sam: Yeah...okay. Alright, I'll go first. Damn it.

Ellie: Oh.

Sam: Alright, your turn.

Ellie: Okay. Just throw it?

Sam: Yeah.

[Her throw's good.]

Ellie: Boosh, I am a natural.

Sam: Luck.

Ellie: No it wasn't.

Sam: That was luck.

[He scores well.]

Ellie: Alright, get outta here. You're getting cocky. Here we go. Fuck.

Sam: Horrible.

Ellie: Alright...it's a tie.

Sam: No, no, you clearly got destroyed.

Ellie: How did I clearly get destroyed? That's practically a tie!

Sam: Yeah, okay.

[The kids quit, but Joel throws the last dart. He misses terribly.]

Henry: There'll come a day when kids can just be kids again.

Joel: Let's go.

[They find the far street blocked by debris. A Firefly symbol's nearby.]

Henry: Fireflies were here.

Joel: Yeah, by the looks of it.

Sam: How're we gonna find them?

Joel: I know a guy. My brother, actually. He was a Firefly. Last I heard he was in Wyoming. We get there, we find him. We find the Fireflies. Whaddya say, you in?

Henry: Sounds like a good plan, man.

Ellie: Ah, okay. You guys are killing me with your downer talk. It's joke book time.

Sam: What is that?

Ellie: Just bear with me. "You wanna hear a joke about pizza? Never mind, it was too cheesy."

Sam: I don't get it.

Ellie: Yeah, me neither. "What did the green grape say to purple grape? Breathe, you idiot!"

Sam: That's so stupid. Alright, I got a joke for you.

Ellie: Let's hear it.

Sam: Why can't your nose be twelve inches long?

Ellie: I don't know, why?

Sam: Because...then it would be a foot.

Ellie: That's so dumb. I love it.

[They head toward a far cul-de-sac, but a sniper opens fire almost at once.]

Joel: Oh shit! Get down.

Ellie: Oh shit...

Henry: Fuckin' sniper... Did you see where it came from?

Joel: Somewhere down the street. Alright now...y'all stay here.

Ellie: No.

Joel: Before you start -- I need you guys to keep him busy. I'm gonna go around and see if I can't get the angle on him.

Ellie: Okay. Hey. Be careful.

[Joel knifes the sniper, then takes over his turret to kill more foes.]

Joel: Come on, guys... Oh, no, no, no.

[The armored humvee from the bridge level appears on the street.]

Hunter: It's those damn tourists from the city.

Joel: Come on, Henry.

Hunter 2: Thought you could get away from us, huh?

Hunter: We're back, motherfucker!

[The humvee approaches Henry and the kids, throwing molotovs. Joel snipes the guy as he's about to throw, causing the interior to catch flame and the truck to crash gloriously.]

Ellie: Shit! Oh, that was so intense!

Henry: You alright Sam?

Sam: Yeah, I'm okay.

Ellie: Thanks, Joel.

Henry: Alright. We did it.

Ellie: We should move.

[A few infected swarm at them, one pinning Sam down.]

Sam: Henry!

Joel: Shit.

[Joel helps snipe them.]

Henry: Sam, are you okay?

Sam: Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Henry: You sure? You seem funny.

Ellie: C'mon, c'mon.

Henry: Let's move!

Joel: Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh god...

[They wave of infected is too big. The survivors all regroup.]

Ellie: Joel, you're okay.

Joel: Still here. Anybody hurt?

Sam: Uh-uh.

Henry: No, we're good.

Joel: Alright, I think it's time we quit this place. C'mon.

Henry: Let's go.

[They make it to the radio tower to rest up and chit-chat over dinner.]

Henry: Shut the hell up.

Joel: Dead serious. It was Tommy's birthday. That's all he wanted to do is just -- rent two Harleys and drive cross country.

Henry: Ah, man. I could die happy if I could just drive one around the block. What was it like?

Joel: It was good. It was real good.

Henry: Good? Can you believe this guy? C'mon, man, gimme details. Describe it.

Ellie: You know what? You two deserve a little privacy.

Henry: No, no, Ellie, Ellie, this isn't just any regular motorcycle, okay? You get on that bad boy, you feel that engine. Nothing like it.

Ellie: Oh yeah? How would you know?

Henry: I've seen it in my dreams... Vroom, vroom, vroom...

Ellie: Okay.

[Ellie goes to see what Sam's up to.]

Henry: I don't think anyone from our group's gonna show up.

Joel: Yeah.

Henry: Worst part about it all -- explaining it to Sam.

[Meanwhile, in the other room, Ellie finds Sam sitting at an old desk.]

Ellie: Well, it's safe to say those two have officially bonded. What're you doin'?

Sam: Taking stock of all the food we found today.

Ellie: I see... And how are we doing on canned peaches?

Sam: Did Henry send you?

Ellie: No. Why would Henry send me?

Sam: To make sure I'm not fucking up somehow.

Ellie: Psshhh. I'd say we all did pretty good back there -- especially you.

[He silently goes to the window.]

Sam: Well...

Ellie: Is everything alright?

Sam: Everything's fine.

Ellie: Okay... Well... Have a good night.

Sam: How is it that you're never scared?

Ellie: Who says that I'm not?

Sam: What're you scared of?

Ellie: Let's see...scorpions are pretty creepy. Um...being by myself. I'm scared of ending up alone. What about you?

Sam: Those things out there. What if the people are still inside? What if they're trapped in there, without any control over their body? I'm scared of that happening to me.

Ellie: Okay, first of all, we're a team now. We're gonna help each other out. And second, they might still look like people, but that person is not in there anymore.

Sam: Henry says that, "they've moved on". That they're with their families. Like in heaven. Do you think that's true?

Ellie: I go back and forth. I mean, I'd like to believe it.

Sam: But you don't.

Ellie: I guess not.

Sam: Yeah...me neither.

Ellie: Oh...all this serious talk, I almost forgot.

[She takes the robot from the Pittsburgh toy store out of her pack.]

Ellie: There. If he doesn't know about it, he can't take it away. Alright, I'm pooped. I'll see ya tomorrow.

[He throws the toy on the ground when she leaves. He looks at the wound on his leg, sustained on the sniper's street. Next morning, Henry makes breakfast.]

Ellie: Damn. That smells good.

Joel: Good morning.

Ellie: Where's Sam?

Henry: I let him sleep in for once.

Ellie: Oh.

Henry: Well if you want him to join us, you can go wake his ass up.

Ellie: Okay.

[She goes into Sam's room.]

Ellie: Sam? Sam!

Joel: What the hell?

[Sam runs at Ellie, tackling her into the grown-ups' room.]

Joel: Shit! He's turnin'!

[Henry fires a warning shot when Joel reaches for his gun.]

Henry: That's my fucking brother!

Ellie: Sam!

Joel: Screw it!

[Henry fires again, this time killing Sam.]

Ellie: Oh, shit...

Joel: Ellie? Ellie, are you alright?

Ellie: Uh-huh. Oh my god.

Henry: Sam?

Ellie: Oh no...

Henry: Sam...

Joel: Henry. Ellie, stay here. Henry.

Henry: Henry, what have you done?

Joel: I'm gonna get that gun from you, okay?

Henry: Sa...Sa...Sam...

[He points the gun at Joel.]

Joel: Whoa. Okay, okay, easy.

Henry: It's your fault.

Joel: This is nobody's fault, Henry.

Henry: It's all your fault!

Joel: Henry! Henry, no...

[Henry turns the gun on himself.]

Ellie: Oh my god.
