Winter - Lakeside Resort by The Last of Us Lyrics
[In the snowy mountains, Ellie kills a rabbit with her bow.]
Ellie: Oh, this won't last very long.
[She sees a deer nearby and ties Callus to a tree.]
Ellie: You'll just startle it.
[She starts tracking it.]
Ellie: Where'd you go? There he is.
[She chases the buck and wounds it. It spooks again afterwards.]
Ellie: Shit, he heard that.
[Eventually she gets in another good shot, but it still runs off.]
Ellie: Oh man. How are you still alive?
[She finds an old mining camp.]
Ellie: What is this place? Everything's cool. This place is not creepy at all. Oh.
[The stag is dead nearby. She goes to check but hears a footstep.]
Ellie: Who's there? Come out!
[Two other hunters are also there. She readies her bow.]
Man: Hello...we just want to talk.
Ellie: Any sudden moves and I put one right between your eyes. Ditto for buddy boy over there. What do you want?
David: Um, name's David, this here's my friend James. We're from a larger group -- women, children. We're all very, very hungry.
Ellie: So am I -- women and children -- all very hungry too.
David: Well maybe we could, ah, trade you for some of that meat there. What do you need? Weapons, ammo, clothes--
Ellie: Medicine! Do you have any antibiotics?
David: We do. Back at the camp. You're welcome to follow us--
Ellie: I'm not following you anywhere. Buddy boy can go get it. He comes back with what I need, the deer is all yours. Anyone else shows up--
David: You put one right between my eyes.
Ellie: That's right.
David: Two bottles of penicillin and a syringe. Make it fast. Go on.
[James runs off.]
Ellie: I'll take that rifle.
David: Of course.
Ellie: Back up.
[She swaps out her bow for his rifle and holds him at gunpoint.]
David: He's probably gonna be awhile. You, ah, mind if we take some shelter from the cold?
Ellie: Bring him with us.
[David drags the deer inside and they build a fire.]
David: There. You know you really shouldn't be out here all on your own.
Ellie: I don't like company.
David: I see. What's your name?
Ellie: Why?
David: Look, I understand it's not easy to trust a couple of strangers. Whoever's hurt, you clearly care about them. I'm sure it's gonna be just fine.
Ellie: We'll see.
[A clicker enters the house. David grabs a nearby gun and kills it mid-lunge.]
Ellie: You had another gun?
David: Sorry.
[More infected approach.]
David: Okay, I'd really like my rifle back now.
Ellie: No, you have your pistol.
David: I hope you know how to use that thing.
Ellie: I've had some practice.
[He shuts the door and puts a tarp on the deer.]
David: No matter what, we have to keep them out. Let's hope they don't find him. Cover the windows.
Ellie: Okay.
David: Make every shot count now.
Ellie: I've done this before.
David: You weren't kidding. You're a better shot with that thing than I am. Gimme a hand with this.
Ellie: Agh, c'mon, c'mon.
[They barricade a window, but a clicker grabs Ellie. David saves her.]
Ellie: Oh shit.
David: Nothin' over here. Oh lord, there's a whole lot of 'em comin' at us. Don't let 'em come through the windows.
[The infected keep coming.]
David: Screw it. We're gettin' outta this room!
[He kicks down a boarded-up door nearby.]
David: Alright, kid. This way.
Ellie: Fucking infected.
David: C'mon. I'll block their path. Cover the stairs!
[He barricades the stairway.]
David: Follow me. Through here.
Ellie: Okay. Do you know where you're going?
David: I've never set foot in this place.
Ellie: Oh. Great.
David: It's clear. This way.
Ellie: Right behind you.
David: How you holdin' up?
Ellie: You don't need to worry about me.
David: Alright. Stay close.
Ellie: Oh shit!
[He hops a catwalk barricade safely, but Ellie falls down to the ground floor.]
David: Hey, kid -- you alright?
Ellie: I'm fine...
David: More clickers. Get outta there!
[She climbs back up a ways. David kills a clicker to open her path.]
David: You alright?
Ellie: Oh, there you are.
David: C'mon -- door's this way. There. That ladder could work.
Ellie: Here. C'mere, boost me up.
David: Okay, ready?
Ellie: Hang on...
David: Alright. You be quick...keep a lookout for those things.
Ellie: I know.
[She kills a clicker on the catwalk.]
David: What's goin' on up there? Everything alright?
Ellie: Yeah, it's okay. Alright. Here you go.
[She drops the ladder down.]
David: C'mon. Alright, look out. Through here. Come on, kid! We need to find a way outta here. There's gotta be a way outta here.
[In a far elevator room, Ellie finds a corpse.]
Ellie: Geez. Looks like someone already fought those things and lost.
David: Ah, Lord. I've been lookin' for these boys. Doesn't matter. Grab their gear. I'm gonna look for an exit. Keep your eyes open for anything we can use!
Ellie: See anything?
David: It's a dead end. How on earth did they use this building?
Ellie: So what do we do?
David: We hold our ground.
Ellie: Is there any other choice?
David: We die. Get ready.
Ellie: You hear that? They're on the roof!
David: I know!
[They fight off the rooftop wave.]
David: We're doin' fine, kid.
Ellie: It doesn't feel like it.
David: Just stay focused. We'll make it. Here come more!
Ellie: How many of these things are there?
David: I have no idea. Just keep at it.
[They hear an odd infected noise.]
David: That doesn't sound good.
Ellie: It's a bloater!
David: A what?!
Ellie: One of those big fucking guys.
[They slay the bloater.]
David: Hey, kid!
Ellie: Yeah?
David: You know, I think we did it.
Ellie: Like we killed all of 'em?
David: Don't sound so disappointed.
Ellie: More like disbelief.
David: I'll check the bridge.
[They go to the bridge.]
David: Listen.
Ellie: No infected.
David: No infected. What'd I tell ya? Alright. Let's head on back, check on that buck of ours.
[They return to the deer cabin and crouch by the fire.]
David: You handled yourself pretty nice back there. Ha, whew, I say we make a pretty good team.
Ellie: Psshh. We got lucky.
David: Lucky? No, no...no such thing as luck. No, you see I believe that everything happens for a reason.
Ellie: Sure.
David: I do. And I can prove it to you. Now, this winter has been especially cruel. A few weeks back, I ah...sent a group of men out -- nearby town to look for food. Only a few came back. They said that the others had been, ah, slaughtered by a crazy man. And get this, he's a crazy man traveling with a little girl. You see? Everything happens for a reason.
[She puts him back at gunpoint.]
David: Now don't get upset. It's not your fault. You're just a kid. James, lower the gun.
[Ellie turns around to see James has had her in his sights the whole time.]
James: No way, David. I'm not gonna let her go.
David: Lower the gun. Now give her the medicine.
[He tosses the parcel on the floor.]
James: The others won't be happy about this.
David: Yeah, well, that's not your concern.
Ellie: Move the fuck out of the way.
David: You won't survive long out there. I can protect you.
Ellie: No thanks.
[Medicine in hand, Ellie runs back to Callus.]
Ellie: Let's get outta here. Come on.
[Eventually she returns to the lakeside resort she's been holed up in.]
Ellie: Come on. Okay...
[She goes to the room where she's been nursing a feverish Joel back to health.]
Ellie: Joel? Oh... I only managed to get a little bit of food. But...I did get this. Move your arm. Oh... Here we go.
[She gives him the injection, causing him to whinge.]
Ellie: Sorry. All done. That's it. You're gonna make it.
[She lays beside him and gets some sleep. In the morning, she hears hunters.]
Ellie: Oh, fuck. They tracked me. I'm gonna draw them away from here. I'll come back for you.
[She leaves the garage, lowering the door quietly.]
Ellie: Easy... Go... C'mon...
Hunter: Are you even sure she's here?
Hunter 2: Man, there were horse tracks down the fucking street. She's here.
[She tries sneaking by on Callus, but gets blindsided by a hunter.]
Hunter 3: Hey! I got her! Get your ass ov--
[She stabs him in the throat.]
Hunter 2: What are you waiting for? Shoot her!
Hunter: But David said--
Hunter 2: Fuck David. Shoot her now!
Ellie: Go!
[She rides through the deserted resort, evading hunters' gunfire.]
Hunter 4: There!
Hunter 5: Grab her!
Hunter 6: Aim for the horse! Don't let her through!
Hunter 7: Get your ass off that damn horse!
Hunter 8: Shit! She's running!
Hunter 9: She's getting away!
Ellie: Come get me, you fuckers!
Hunter 10: Shoot the horse! Shoot the fucking horse!
[She almost makes it out, but Callus is shot, throwing them both down a bank.]
Ellie: Oh man... No... Oh shit. Okay...
Hunter: She fell down the hill somewhere. I don't see her though.
Hunter 2: She's running for the cabins!
[Ellie takes refuge in a cabin nearby.]
Hunter: Are we really killing her? David said he wants her alive.
Hunter 2: He doesn't get to make that call. James to me it's the girl from the university. How many of our guys were killed there?
Hunter: Oh shit. I didn't know that was her. Screw David, then. I ain't taking a chance with this.
Hunter 2: I just want to finish up and go home. I'm freezing my ass off.
[She kills the rest and finds the exit along a broken cliffside path.]
Ellie: Nature track... Okay, that should get me out of here. You got this, Ellie. Okay, don't fall in the water. Don't fall in. Oh, shit... Okay.
[She finds blockage at a culvert.]
Ellie: Here we go. I got this. Agh...
[She finds a large hunting lodge on the riverbank.]
Ellie: That's the way back. Hang in there, Joel.
Hunter: Cover the grounds! Make sure she's not hiding somewhere over here!
[She kills the searchers.]
Ellie: How do I get outta here?
[She finaggles herself into the lodge.]
Ellie: I don't wanna get trapped in here. Agh, where's the way out?
Hunter: She's on this side of the lodge!
[She kills the last pursuers and tries to exit, but David sneakily grabs her.]
David: Relax... Keeping you alive here. There you go. There you go.
[He knocks her out with a sleeper hold. She wakes up later in a cell. There's a hunter chopping up a corpse nearby.]
Ellie: Oh...
David: How are you feeling?
[He appears with a dinner tray.]
Ellie: Super.
David: Here. You should eat. I know you're hungry -- been out for quite some time.
Ellie: What is it?
David: It's deer.
Ellie: With some human helping on the side?
David: No. No, I promise. It's...just the deer meat.
Ellie: You're a fucking animal.
[She gobbles down some of the food.]
David: Oh...you're awfully quick to judgment. Considering you and your friend killed how many men?
Ellie: They didn't give us a choice.
David: And you think we have a choice? Is that it? You kill to survive...and so do we. We have to take care of our own. By any means necessary.
Ellie: So now what? You gonna chop me up into tiny pieces?
David: I'd rather not. Please tell me your name.
[She shoves the food plate out of her cell.]
Ellie: You're so full of shit.
David: On the contrary, I've been, ah, been quite honest with you. Now I think it's your turn. It's the only way I'm gonna be able to convince the others.
Ellie: Convince them of what?
David: That you can come around. You have heart. You're loyal. And you're special.
[He runs his hands over hers in a very creepy manner.]
Ellie: Oh...
[She puts her hand on his, then breaks his finger. She tries to grab his cell keys, but he knocks her head into the cell door.]
Ellie: Oh, fuck...
David: You stupid little girl. You are making it very difficult to keep you alive. What am I supposed to tell the others now?
Ellie: Ellie.
David: What?
Ellie: Tell them that...Ellie is the little girl that broke your fucking finger.
David: How did you put it? Hmm? Tiny pieces? See you in the morning, Ellie.
[Meanwhile, Joel finally comes to back in the resort cabin.]
Joel: Ellie? Ellie?! Where the hell are you?
[He goes outside.]
Joel: Ellie! Where'd she run off to?
Hunter: Oh shit! He's over there!
Joel: Shit.
Hunter 2: Move it! Don't let him get ya!
[He slaughters the hunters. Later, he's grabbed by one as he enters a street.]
Hunter: Gotcha, asshole. Finish him off!
Hunter 2: Hold him still!
Hunter: Oh shit!
[Joel kicks one guy in the nads, then headbutts the other.]
Hunter: Son of a bitch!
Joel: You come with me. Come on...
Hunter 2: Let me go. I'll...fuck you up...
[Joel brings them to a basement and starts beating them for information.]
Hunter 2: What do you want? What the fuck?
Joel: You wait here. Now...the girl...is she alive?
Hunter: What girl? I don't know no girl.
[He stabs him in the leg.]
Hunter: Fuck...
Joel: Focus right here. Right here. Or I'll pop your goddamn knee off. The girl.
Hunter: She's alive. She's David's newest pet.
Joel: Where?
Hunter: In the town. In the town.
[He puts the bloody knife in the merc's mouth and holds up a map.]
Joel: Now you're gonna mark it on the map. And it better be the same exact spot your buddy points to. Mark it.
Hunter: It's right there. You can verify it. Go ask him. Go on. He'll tell ya. I ain't lyin'. I ain't lyin.
[Joel chokes him until his neck snaps.]
Hunter 2: Fuck you, man. He told you what you wanted. I ain't telling you shit.
Joel: That's alright. I believe him.
Hunter 2: No, wait!
[Joel kills the second guy. Meanwhile, a Ellie's still in her cage.]
James: Wake-y, wake-y. Come on.
Ellie: Let go!
James: Get--
Ellie: Stop!
[She bites David's hand when he draws near, earning a knee in the stomach. They lift her onto the slaughtering table.]
David: I warned you.
[He raises his cleaver.]
Ellie: I'm infected! I'm infected!
David: Really?
Ellie: ...and so are you. Right there. Roll up my sleeve. Look at it!
David: I'll play along.
[He sees the old wound and grows quiet.]
Ellie: What'd you say? Everything happens for a reason, right?
James: What the hell is that?
David: She would've turned by now. It can't be real.
James: Looks pretty fucking real to me!
[Ellie quickly takes the cleaver and cuts into James' neck, rolling off the table towards the doorway. David fires a few rounds but misses. Ellie grabs a switchblade from a nearby cabinet before jumping out into the blizzard.]
Ellie: Okay. Shit. Oh man. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
David: Where you going, Ellie? This is my town!
[Ellie takes shelter in a nearby storage room.]
Ellie: I need a gun. Okay, I can do this.
[She moves to the front of the store.]
Hunter: We heard gunshots!
David: Infected!
Hunter: What?
David: The girl. She's infected and she got out.
Female Hunter: This is bad, David.
David: Alright, I need you to round up everyone who isn't armed and get 'em to clear outta here. We're gonna find that girl and we're gonna kill her.
Female Hunter: Oh my god. I'll take the kids to the shelter.
[David and the woman split up; more hunters are nearby.]
Ellie: Oh fuck.
Hunter: Tired of this shit. He's crossed the line this time.
Hunter 2: I've been saying this for months.
Hunter: We've indulged him enough. This girl killed our men and now she's infected.
Hunter 2: Let's clean this mess up...then we can have a town meeting. Put his leadership up to a vote.
Ellie: They're everywhere.
[Ellie eludes the predators and heads deeper into town.]
Hunter: What if she bites someone?
Hunter 2: Relax. She's not biting anybody.
Hunter: I'm saying we could have a real situation here.
Hunter 3: We already have a situation and we're gonna take care of it. Now stay focused. Let's find her.
[She infiltrates a restaurant. David is waiting at the far exit.]
David: You're easy to track.
[He wrestles the gun away from her.]
David: How did you do it?
[Ellie escapes when David's attention notices the building catching on fire. He taunts Ellie as he hunts her in the restaurant.]
David: That's alright. There's nowhere to go! You want out? You're gonna have to come get these keys. I know you're not infected. No one who's infected fights this hard to stay alive. So what is it, Ellie? I gotta admit, you had me back there. For a second, you shook my faith. But only for a second. Oh, hey, Ellie? I'm sorry about your horse. I truly am. I hope you take comfort in knowing we won't waste any part of him.
Ellie: Ah, you fuck.
David: You know, I...I wish you hadn't killed James. He's a good kid -- just doing his job. In fact, all those people you killed. It's just gonna make our group stronger. Fewer mouths to feed. Stronger survivors. Ellie! Ellie, come on. I know you're dying to say something to me.
Ellie: Creepy piece of shit.
David: No? Nothin'? Sure about that? Alright then.
[She ambushes him, stabbing him in the neck. His point-blank shots miss by some stroke of fate.]
David: That was good, kid. It's gonna be alright.
[He puts his gun away and takes out a machete.]
David: You know, you keep surprising me. It's a shame you wouldn't come around. Give up now and I promise to be quick. Promise.
Ellie: Yeah, go fuck yourself.
David: Okay then. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You know, I love how you think that you're better than this. Better than us. But you're not.
Ellie: Ah, you crazy fuck.
David: It didn't have to be this way, you know. You brought this on yourself. You did.
[Ellie ambushes him a second time, this time stabbing his stomach.]
David: Run, little rabbit, run.
[Ellie ambushes him a third time. David knocks her unconscious before slumping over himself. Meanwhile, Joel approaches Silver Lake's outskirts.]
Hunter: This is pointless. I can't see a thing.
Hunter 2: Just keep searching. If she comes through here, we gotta catch her.
Hunter: We should be guarding the shelter. We got an infected running around in the town and we're guarding the damn exit.
Hunter 2: Look. This kid is deadly and we don't know where she's gonna turn up. Just keep your eyes and ears open.
[Joel kills the guards and takes refuge inside. He finds Ellie's backpack.]
Joel: What is this? Why is Ellie's stuff here?
[He steps into a meat locker...filled with human corpses.]
Joel: Oh, Christ. I gotta find her. I gotta find her.
[He steps onto main street, seeing the burning building.]
Joel: Holy shit. Ellie...
[Meanwhile, Ellie awakens. She reaches for a knife, but David kicks her hard.]
David: I knew you had heart. Y'know, it's okay to give up. Ain't no shame in it. I guess not. Just not your style, is it?
[He kicks her again, then crawls on top of her, pinning her down.]
David: You can try beggin'.
Ellie: Fuck you.
David: You think you know me? Huh? Well, let me tell you somethin'. You have no idea what I'm capable of.
[She grabs the machete and slashes him, then crawls on him to stab him more.]
Joel: Ellie! Stop. Stop.
Ellie: No! Don't fucking touch me!
Joel: Shhh. Shhh.
Ellie: No--
Joel: It's okay. It's me, it's me. Look, look. It's me.
Ellie: He tried to--
[He embraces her.]
Joel: Oh, baby girl... It's okay, it's okay.
Ellie: Joel...
Joel: It's okay now.
[They say more, but the viewer can't hear the conversation. They leave the restaurant, letting the camera linger on the machete, presumably planted in David's face.]
Ellie: Oh, this won't last very long.
[She sees a deer nearby and ties Callus to a tree.]
Ellie: You'll just startle it.
[She starts tracking it.]
Ellie: Where'd you go? There he is.
[She chases the buck and wounds it. It spooks again afterwards.]
Ellie: Shit, he heard that.
[Eventually she gets in another good shot, but it still runs off.]
Ellie: Oh man. How are you still alive?
[She finds an old mining camp.]
Ellie: What is this place? Everything's cool. This place is not creepy at all. Oh.
[The stag is dead nearby. She goes to check but hears a footstep.]
Ellie: Who's there? Come out!

David: Nothin' over here. Oh lord, there's a whole lot of 'em comin' at us. Don't let 'em come through the windows.
[The infected keep coming.]
David: Screw it. We're gettin' outta this room!
[He kicks down a boarded-up door nearby.]
David: Alright, kid. This way.
Ellie: Fucking infected.
David: C'mon. I'll block their path. Cover the stairs!
[He barricades the stairway.]
David: Follow me. Through here.
Ellie: Okay. Do you know where you're going?
David: I've never set foot in this place.

David: Ah, Lord. I've been lookin' for these boys. Doesn't matter. Grab their gear. I'm gonna look for an exit. Keep your eyes open for anything we can use!
Ellie: See anything?
David: It's a dead end. How on earth did they use this building?
Ellie: So what do we do?
David: We hold our ground.
Ellie: Is there any other choice?
David: We die. Get ready.
Ellie: You hear that? They're on the roof!
David: I know!
[They fight off the rooftop wave.]
David: We're doin' fine, kid.

David: Lucky? No, no...no such thing as luck. No, you see I believe that everything happens for a reason.
Ellie: Sure.
David: I do. And I can prove it to you. Now, this winter has been especially cruel. A few weeks back, I ah...sent a group of men out -- nearby town to look for food. Only a few came back. They said that the others had been, ah, slaughtered by a crazy man. And get this, he's a crazy man traveling with a little girl. You see? Everything happens for a reason.
[She puts him back at gunpoint.]

Hunter 2: Man, there were horse tracks down the fucking street. She's here.
[She tries sneaking by on Callus, but gets blindsided by a hunter.]
Hunter 3: Hey! I got her! Get your ass ov--
[She stabs him in the throat.]
Hunter 2: What are you waiting for? Shoot her!
Hunter: But David said--
Hunter 2: Fuck David. Shoot her now!
Ellie: Go!
[She rides through the deserted resort, evading hunters' gunfire.]
Hunter 4: There!
Hunter 5: Grab her!
Hunter 6: Aim for the horse! Don't let her through!
Hunter 7: Get your ass off that damn horse!
Hunter 8: Shit! She's running!
Hunter 9: She's getting away!
Ellie: Come get me, you fuckers!
Hunter 10: Shoot the horse! Shoot the fucking horse!
[She almost makes it out, but Callus is shot, throwing them both down a bank.]
Ellie: Oh man... No... Oh shit. Okay...
Hunter: She fell down the hill somewhere. I don't see her though.
Hunter 2: She's running for the cabins!
[Ellie takes refuge in a cabin nearby.]
Hunter: Are we really killing her? David said he wants her alive.
Hunter 2: He doesn't get to make that call. James to me it's the girl from the university. How many of our guys were killed there?
Hunter: Oh shit. I didn't know that was her. Screw David, then. I ain't taking a chance with this.
Hunter 2: I just want to finish up and go home. I'm freezing my ass off.
[She kills the rest and finds the exit along a broken cliffside path.]
Ellie: Nature track... Okay, that should get me out of here. You got this, Ellie. Okay, don't fall in the water. Don't fall in. Oh, shit... Okay.
[She finds blockage at a culvert.]
Ellie: Here we go. I got this. Agh...
[She finds a large hunting lodge on the riverbank.]
Ellie: That's the way back. Hang in there, Joel.
Hunter: Cover the grounds! Make sure she's not hiding somewhere over here!
[She kills the searchers.]
Ellie: How do I get outta here?
[She finaggles herself into the lodge.]
Ellie: I don't wanna get trapped in here. Agh, where's the way out?
Hunter: She's on this side of the lodge!
[She kills the last pursuers and tries to exit, but David sneakily grabs her.]
David: Relax... Keeping you alive here. There you go. There you go.
[He knocks her out with a sleeper hold. She wakes up later in a cell. There's a hunter chopping up a corpse nearby.]
Ellie: Oh...
David: How are you feeling?
[He appears with a dinner tray.]
Ellie: Super.
David: Here. You should eat. I know you're hungry -- been out for quite some time.
Ellie: What is it?
David: It's deer.
Ellie: With some human helping on the side?
David: No. No, I promise. It's...just the deer meat.
Ellie: You're a fucking animal.
[She gobbles down some of the food.]
David: Oh...you're awfully quick to judgment. Considering you and your friend killed how many men?
Ellie: They didn't give us a choice.
David: And you think we have a choice? Is that it? You kill to survive...and so do we. We have to take care of our own. By any means necessary.
Ellie: So now what? You gonna chop me up into tiny pieces?
David: I'd rather not. Please tell me your name.
[She shoves the food plate out of her cell.]
Ellie: You're so full of shit.
David: On the contrary, I've been, ah, been quite honest with you. Now I think it's your turn. It's the only way I'm gonna be able to convince the others.
Ellie: Convince them of what?
David: That you can come around. You have heart. You're loyal. And you're special.
[He runs his hands over hers in a very creepy manner.]
Ellie: Oh...
[She puts her hand on his, then breaks his finger. She tries to grab his cell keys, but he knocks her head into the cell door.]
Ellie: Oh, fuck...
David: You stupid little girl. You are making it very difficult to keep you alive. What am I supposed to tell the others now?
Ellie: Ellie.
David: What?
Ellie: Tell them that...Ellie is the little girl that broke your fucking finger.
David: How did you put it? Hmm? Tiny pieces? See you in the morning, Ellie.
[Meanwhile, Joel finally comes to back in the resort cabin.]
Joel: Ellie? Ellie?! Where the hell are you?
[He goes outside.]
Joel: Ellie! Where'd she run off to?
Hunter: Oh shit! He's over there!
Joel: Shit.
Hunter 2: Move it! Don't let him get ya!
[He slaughters the hunters. Later, he's grabbed by one as he enters a street.]
Hunter: Gotcha, asshole. Finish him off!
Hunter 2: Hold him still!
Hunter: Oh shit!
[Joel kicks one guy in the nads, then headbutts the other.]
Hunter: Son of a bitch!
Joel: You come with me. Come on...
Hunter 2: Let me go. I'll...fuck you up...
[Joel brings them to a basement and starts beating them for information.]
Hunter 2: What do you want? What the fuck?
Joel: You wait here. Now...the girl...is she alive?
Hunter: What girl? I don't know no girl.
[He stabs him in the leg.]
Hunter: Fuck...
Joel: Focus right here. Right here. Or I'll pop your goddamn knee off. The girl.
Hunter: She's alive. She's David's newest pet.
Joel: Where?
Hunter: In the town. In the town.
[He puts the bloody knife in the merc's mouth and holds up a map.]
Joel: Now you're gonna mark it on the map. And it better be the same exact spot your buddy points to. Mark it.
Hunter: It's right there. You can verify it. Go ask him. Go on. He'll tell ya. I ain't lyin'. I ain't lyin.
[Joel chokes him until his neck snaps.]
Hunter 2: Fuck you, man. He told you what you wanted. I ain't telling you shit.
Joel: That's alright. I believe him.
Hunter 2: No, wait!
[Joel kills the second guy. Meanwhile, a Ellie's still in her cage.]
James: Wake-y, wake-y. Come on.
Ellie: Let go!
James: Get--
Ellie: Stop!
[She bites David's hand when he draws near, earning a knee in the stomach. They lift her onto the slaughtering table.]
David: I warned you.
[He raises his cleaver.]
Ellie: I'm infected! I'm infected!
David: Really?
Ellie: ...and so are you. Right there. Roll up my sleeve. Look at it!
David: I'll play along.
[He sees the old wound and grows quiet.]
Ellie: What'd you say? Everything happens for a reason, right?
James: What the hell is that?
David: She would've turned by now. It can't be real.
James: Looks pretty fucking real to me!
[Ellie quickly takes the cleaver and cuts into James' neck, rolling off the table towards the doorway. David fires a few rounds but misses. Ellie grabs a switchblade from a nearby cabinet before jumping out into the blizzard.]
Ellie: Okay. Shit. Oh man. What the fuck is wrong with these people?
David: Where you going, Ellie? This is my town!
[Ellie takes shelter in a nearby storage room.]
Ellie: I need a gun. Okay, I can do this.
[She moves to the front of the store.]
Hunter: We heard gunshots!
David: Infected!
Hunter: What?
David: The girl. She's infected and she got out.
Female Hunter: This is bad, David.
David: Alright, I need you to round up everyone who isn't armed and get 'em to clear outta here. We're gonna find that girl and we're gonna kill her.
Female Hunter: Oh my god. I'll take the kids to the shelter.
[David and the woman split up; more hunters are nearby.]
Ellie: Oh fuck.
Hunter: Tired of this shit. He's crossed the line this time.
Hunter 2: I've been saying this for months.
Hunter: We've indulged him enough. This girl killed our men and now she's infected.
Hunter 2: Let's clean this mess up...then we can have a town meeting. Put his leadership up to a vote.
Ellie: They're everywhere.
[Ellie eludes the predators and heads deeper into town.]
Hunter: What if she bites someone?
Hunter 2: Relax. She's not biting anybody.
Hunter: I'm saying we could have a real situation here.
Hunter 3: We already have a situation and we're gonna take care of it. Now stay focused. Let's find her.
[She infiltrates a restaurant. David is waiting at the far exit.]
David: You're easy to track.
[He wrestles the gun away from her.]
David: How did you do it?
[Ellie escapes when David's attention notices the building catching on fire. He taunts Ellie as he hunts her in the restaurant.]
David: That's alright. There's nowhere to go! You want out? You're gonna have to come get these keys. I know you're not infected. No one who's infected fights this hard to stay alive. So what is it, Ellie? I gotta admit, you had me back there. For a second, you shook my faith. But only for a second. Oh, hey, Ellie? I'm sorry about your horse. I truly am. I hope you take comfort in knowing we won't waste any part of him.
Ellie: Ah, you fuck.
David: You know, I...I wish you hadn't killed James. He's a good kid -- just doing his job. In fact, all those people you killed. It's just gonna make our group stronger. Fewer mouths to feed. Stronger survivors. Ellie! Ellie, come on. I know you're dying to say something to me.
Ellie: Creepy piece of shit.
David: No? Nothin'? Sure about that? Alright then.
[She ambushes him, stabbing him in the neck. His point-blank shots miss by some stroke of fate.]
David: That was good, kid. It's gonna be alright.
[He puts his gun away and takes out a machete.]
David: You know, you keep surprising me. It's a shame you wouldn't come around. Give up now and I promise to be quick. Promise.
Ellie: Yeah, go fuck yourself.
David: Okay then. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You know, I love how you think that you're better than this. Better than us. But you're not.
Ellie: Ah, you crazy fuck.
David: It didn't have to be this way, you know. You brought this on yourself. You did.
[Ellie ambushes him a second time, this time stabbing his stomach.]
David: Run, little rabbit, run.
[Ellie ambushes him a third time. David knocks her unconscious before slumping over himself. Meanwhile, Joel approaches Silver Lake's outskirts.]
Hunter: This is pointless. I can't see a thing.
Hunter 2: Just keep searching. If she comes through here, we gotta catch her.
Hunter: We should be guarding the shelter. We got an infected running around in the town and we're guarding the damn exit.
Hunter 2: Look. This kid is deadly and we don't know where she's gonna turn up. Just keep your eyes and ears open.
[Joel kills the guards and takes refuge inside. He finds Ellie's backpack.]
Joel: What is this? Why is Ellie's stuff here?
[He steps into a meat locker...filled with human corpses.]
Joel: Oh, Christ. I gotta find her. I gotta find her.
[He steps onto main street, seeing the burning building.]
Joel: Holy shit. Ellie...
[Meanwhile, Ellie awakens. She reaches for a knife, but David kicks her hard.]
David: I knew you had heart. Y'know, it's okay to give up. Ain't no shame in it. I guess not. Just not your style, is it?
[He kicks her again, then crawls on top of her, pinning her down.]
David: You can try beggin'.
Ellie: Fuck you.
David: You think you know me? Huh? Well, let me tell you somethin'. You have no idea what I'm capable of.
[She grabs the machete and slashes him, then crawls on him to stab him more.]
Joel: Ellie! Stop. Stop.
Ellie: No! Don't fucking touch me!
Joel: Shhh. Shhh.
Ellie: No--
Joel: It's okay. It's me, it's me. Look, look. It's me.
Ellie: He tried to--
[He embraces her.]
Joel: Oh, baby girl... It's okay, it's okay.
Ellie: Joel...
Joel: It's okay now.
[They say more, but the viewer can't hear the conversation. They leave the restaurant, letting the camera linger on the machete, presumably planted in David's face.]
