Episode 9 of TheLastOfUs wraps the first season by asking what’s more important: the people you love or the world's fate?
From its very first episode, HBO’s The Last of Us set itself apart from other post-apocalyptic stories by underlining how there were no real heroes in a world decimated by Cordyceps. As weeks passed, we witnessed Joel making wrong choices repeatedly and putting his violent impulses ahead of the possibility of trusting other people. Tragically, we’ve also witnessed Ellie walking a similar path, descending into moral depths from where she’ll have difficulty coming out.
Joel’s confession gives us new insight into the broken man’s soul. For 20 years, Joel has been carrying the pain of losing Sarah, an emotional distress that pushed him to become ever more violent. And while his mission to take Ellie across the country begins as a job like any other, the love they share now has finally allowed old wounds to heal. That’s why something snaps inside of Joel once he discovers the Fireflies will sacrifice the girl in exchange for a cure for the Cordyceps infection.
Once he learns the Fireflies will kill Ellie, Joel goes on a rampage, shooting everyone who gets in his way to rescue the girl. Joel is ruthless, murdering people after they’ve surrendered themselves. He even shoots the surgeon tasked with performing the surgery on Ellie. Marlene also becomes a victim, after the leader of the Fireflies has already lowered her gun. Joel brutally dispatches every Firefly to ensure no one will ever go after Ellie again.
By lying to Ellie, Joel imagines he’ll protect her from the harsh truth that keeping her alive condemned hundreds of people to death, directly and indirectly. He also ensures the girl will not rebel against him, as Ellie would most likely disapprove of Joel’s behavior. Finally, Joel’s lies force a decision upon Ellie, who cannot choose for herself if she would be willing to sacrifice herself to save the world.
