The Last of Us (2023) s02e04 Episode Script

- [SOLDIERS LAUGHING]
- [SOLDIER] Now, the thing
about this one night,
and you guys know me.
Like, I'm fuckin' easy on voters, right?
- That ain't what they say.
- Oh, yeah, well, fuck them
because they'd rather
have me than Greenberg.
- Oh, this is a Greenberg story.
- [LAUGHTER]
So, I got three voters against the wall.
I caught 'em red-handed
disseminating pamphlets, right?
- WLF stuff?
- I thought it was.
Turned out later it was
some, like, religious crap,
but I didn't fuckin' know that.
So, I call for backup.
Guess who shows up?
- [SOLDIERS] Greenberg!
- Greenberg!
- [LAUGHTER]
- He pulls up,
gets out of his truck.
He's in a fuckin' mood, okay?
I can already tell, and he's all like,
"What are you fuckin' calling for?
What, you can't handle three voters?
What did these fuckin' pussies even do?"
- [LAUGHTER]
- I say, "I caught them
out here disseminating".
And he goes, "What? You fuckin' perverts
are out here jerking off and
splooging on my streets?"
- [LAUGHTER]
- Holy shit!
I swear to God. So, one
of the voters turns back
to look at me like,
"Are you gonna tell him?"
I look back at him like, "Fuck no".
And that's when the guy decides
to open his mouth anyway
and goes, "Well, actually,
the word 'disseminate' means"
- And boom!
- Oh!
Greenberg slams his fuckin'
head against the wall.
There goes his teeth, just
blood fuckin' everywhere.
And and Greenberg goes,
"No one asked you, jizz boy!"
[LAUGHTER]
Wh-Why do you call them that?
The citizens, why do
you call them voters?
I don't know.
'Cause that's what we fucking
call 'em. Who cares?
'Cause we took away their rights.
Took away their right to vote,
and somebody
started calling them
voters to mock them.
So, now you know.
I didn't mean anything by it, Sergeant.
Of course, you didn't.
You're thoughtless.
- [DRIVER] Sarge.
- [BRAKES SQUEALING]
[ENGINE IDLING]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Keep it running.
- [DRIVER] Copy.
- How many?
[SERGEANT ISAAC DIXON] A lot.
Could be WLF. Lock and load.
- [ISAAC] No.
- Sarge.
I'm gonna go talk to them. Alone.
- But protocol.
- Protocol is to obey
your commanding officer.
Period. The end.
Now, if we go out there in force,
this'll end up the way it always does.
'Cause you're all Greenberg.
You wanna die? Fine.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
You.
Come with me.
Learn something.

I'm gonna check

[DINA] Man, FEDRA got
fucked up out here.
You think it was the WLF?
I don't know.
All these bodies are in FEDRA gear.
Almost looks like they
were fighting each other.
Huh. Good eye.
I wonder what that was about.
[METAL LID BANGING LOUDLY]
[BIRDS SQUAWKING]
[BIRDS CAWING]
- Ooh.
- What is it?
Three burnt skeletons. Like Apollo 1.
[DINA] What?
Grissom, White, Chaffee.
Early astronauts.
They were supposed to be the
first ones to go to the moon,
but they never made it
off the launchpad.
Burned up in their capsule.
Well, at least they died
for something worthwhile.
Yeah. [SIGHS]
These guys were just assholes
killed by other assholes.
Well, lookie here.
Check out the building on the hill.
You've gotta be shitting me.
Fuck yeah, let's go.
You sure about that?
Oh, my God, are you
gonna fucking tell me?
If you paint a sign big enough
to be seen for miles away,
that means you want people
to know that you're there,
which also means more likely
than not, you're prepared.
And?
They're on a hill, so
they'll see us coming.
On horseback in broad daylight, so
just a little.
So, we wait until dark
and we head out on foot.
And right here is the
perfect place to hole up
because, well, no one's around.
Which you proved brilliantly
with your tank hatch maneuver.
Dick.
Alright, let's look for a door
we can fit Shimmer through.
Already found that.

You know, when I was a a younger man,
and I wanted to impress a woman,
well, you you have
to know your strengths.
And I was kinda shy.
I I didn't know how to talk to women.
It made me nervous.
So, what I would do is cook for them.
And I was good.
Good enough to deserve quality tools.
Ah, but did I have the money for that?
No, I did not.
I would go into Williams-Sonoma.
It's a cookware store.
You wouldn't know.
And I would stare
at these.
Mauviel.
Best of the best. French, of course.
And I would think, okay,
30 years to retirement
and pension, but one day,
I will own a Mauviel sauce pan
with lid.
And I was right.
Just not how I planned.
The strange benefits of the apocalypse.
[CLANGS LOUDLY]
Now, copper's a bit
of a pain in the ass.
You have to polish it a lot.
But it heats faster than anything.
Highly conductive.
Of course, this means
it doesn't retain heat
the way cast iron does,
which of the two,
makes copper the inferior choice
for interrogations, but
if you own Mauviel, you use Mauviel.
She
- She watches over me.
- Then she's been watching you
get your ass kicked.
You know there are even
Scars who don't believe
she's some magic fairy in the sky, yeah?
Some of you actually understand
she was just a person.
Heretics.
Of course.
The steel handles stay cool.
It's the little touches.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
Where are the Scars attacking next?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Seraphites.
Hold out your hand.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
- [SIZZLING]
- [MALCOLM SCREAMING]
Jesus. This is so fucked.
[WLF GUARD] Shut up.
Isaac knows what he's doing.
[MALCOLM WHIMPERING]
[MALCOLM] The blood! [SOBBING]
Yes, sir.
- [PAN CLANKS]
- [MALCOLM] She watches over me.
She fills my soul. She watches over me.
She fills my soul.
She watches over me. She fills my soul.
- She watches over
- She fills your soul.
You put an arrow in a little boy's head.
Was she filling your soul then?
She tell you to kill children?
- You kill our children.
- Never by choice.
You trained them to shoot at us.
Because your Wolves kill them.
Because you trained them to shoot at us.
Because you broke the truce.
- Because you broke the truce.
- Because
Because you broke it
because we broke it.
I'm not playing your little
chicken-and-egg games today, Scar.
Where is the next attack?
[BREATHING SHAKILY]
You're gonna lose.
[SCOFFS]
Are we?
Son
we have automatic weapons and hospitals,
and you lunatics
have bolt-action rifles,
bows and arrows, and superstition.
So, tell me, how are we going to lose?
[SIGHS]
[VOICE SHAKING] Every
day, one of your Wolves
comes to see the truth,
and takes Her into their heart.
Every day. Every day, a Wolf leaves you
to take the holy mortification
to become a Seraphite.
And none of us ever leave
to become a Wolf.
I will burn every part of you
until you tell me what I want to know!

[THUNDER RUMBLING]
No patrol.
- That's a good sign.
- Not always.
So, the front entrance
is like a security door.
There's a camera right over
it, which means we go
around the back.
Window.
Oh, boy.
Second floor.
[THUNDER BOOMS]
[ELLIE] So, somebody
hopped onto the shed,
climbed the downspout, broke the window,
and got cut on the way in?
Well, I guess that's our way in, too.
And if we run into Wolves
that weren't in Jackson?
Agreed.
[METAL BANGING]

do that. You're good.

- [PEOPLE CHATTERING IN DISTANCE]
- Shit, get down. Down!
[BANGING]
[SOLDIER] Oh, my God.
Fuck me.
- Look at this.
- Who the fuck would do that?
Scars got all of 'em.
I don't see Brancaccio or Welsh,
but, yeah, it's the rest of 'em.
[COMMANDER] You, cut 'em down.
[SOLDIER] Shouldn't we
secure the station first?
[COMMANDER] I said
cut them the fuck down.
The rest of you, fan out. And go slow.
If the Scars are still here,
find them and kill them.
[SOLDIER 2] Isaac said he wants
'em alive for questioning.
[COMMANDER] Isaac's not here, okay?
With intestines all
over the fuckin' place.
So, I don't really give a shit.
I don't give a shit
if it's a woman or a kid.
I don't care if it's a fuckin' baby.
Look what they did.
Now, fan the fuck out!

- Please, don't.

[DINA] Please don't make this
any harder than it has to be.
- Wait.
- Why did you do that?
Why the fuck did you have to do that?
Please listen to me.
I would die for you. I would.
But that is not what just happened.
Fuck. I'm immune.
I can't get infected.

Dina, do not fucking shoot me!
I've been bitten before. I'm still here.
I don't I know you don't believe me.
I get it, I wouldn't
believe me either, but
Here's what we're gonna do.
I'm gonna walk over there nice and slow,
to that big fucking chair, and
I'm gonna bandage my arm
and I'm gonna go to sleep.
You're gonna sit as far away
from me as you want,
and you're gonna keep
that gun pointed on me.
If I turn, shoot me.
But I promise. [SIGHS]

I wish this wasn't true

How's it doing?
Wow, that's
Is this where you were bitten before?
Yep.
- You said it was a burn.
- Most of it is.
You did it to yourself?
[WHISPERING] I really wanted
to wear short sleeves again.
[DINA CHUCKLES]
It's a little thing, but when you start
to hide little things,
they become big things.
You don't say.
Why now?
I thought you were gone.
And then all of a sudden,
this future I was imagining
wasn't gonna happen.
Where we're together,
and we have a kid, and
I don't even know if you want that.
I want it with you.
I'm sorry it took so long.
I knew how you felt about me.
How? I was hiding it really well.
No, you kind of fucking weren't.
- Oh.
- I'm sorry.
I wanted to.
Yeah?
When I was little
I told my mother I liked
boys and I liked girls.
And she said, "No, you like boys".
[ELLIE] Hm.
And it just
I got stuck.
Even after she died, it
I tried to make things work with Jesse
because I like him. I do, I
think he's a really good guy.
But he wasn't the one.
Still kept trying anyway.
Couldn't let myself just be.
You were scared.
Not everyone's as brave as you.
I'm not brave. I'm just obvious.
[DINA LAUGHING]
Shut up!

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
[DINA CHUCKLES]
How do you know for sure that you're
Oh! I started wondering
after we saw the bodies in the forest,
because I've seen fucked-up
shit before without barfing.
And I knew morning sickness was a thing,
and I was late, which I
I've never been regular,
but I was very late.
And then, I found a pregnancy test
at the pharmacy, and I peed on it.
- You pee on it?
- That's how it works.
I don't just randomly piss on stuff.
Oh, okay. That's good.
Here.
Two lines means pregnant.
This thing's pretty old.
- How do you
- And here.
And here's a couple more.
So, we're having a baby.
I mean, we, and also
I guess Jesse are
It was Jesse, right?
- [SCOFFS LIGHTLY]
- So, we're all having a baby.
Holy shit.
- I'm gonna be a dad.
