The Last of Us HBO series knows how to leave audiences with a cliffhanger. Before the credits rolled, Ellie and Joel were ambushed, despite the latter’s best efforts to make sure they would hear anybody creeping up on them while they slept. A young man held Ellie at gunpoint, who woke Joel up, only for him to find a young child pointing a gun at his head. The kid put his finger to his lips, telling Joel to be silent, but who were the two that attacked Ellie and Joel at the end of The Last of Us Episode 4?
Who held Ellie and Joel at gunpoint at the end of The Last of Us Episode 4 on HBO?
The two people who ambushed Ellie and Joel in The Last of Us Episode 4 were Henry and Sam. The duo are brothers, with Henry being the older sibling, and Sam being a child. Both of the character’s names were mentioned earlier on in the episode by Kathleen, who seems to have a score to settle with Henry, because of something that happened with her brother and FEDRA officials.
Henry and Sam’s story in The Last of Us HBO series looks to be quite different to that which players of the Naughty Dog video game will be familiar with. Along with taking place in an entirely different location, Henry and Sam are simply trying to stay alive after their group of survivors was ambushed by a group of hunters. In the show, however, it appears that the two have history with the revolutionary band of mercenaries, led by Kathleen.
Exactly why the pair have Ellie and Joel at gunpoint in The Last of Us Episode 4 remains to be seen. They are likely to be very on edge, knowing that there are heavily-armed waves of people out there hunting them. As Sam told Joel to keep quiet when he woke up to the gun in his face, however, they could be trying to protect them. If the building in which they’re all housed has been infiltrated by Kathleen’s group, they could all be in danger. If this is the case, Henry and Sam might be trying to keep Ellie and Joel alive, while ensuring they stay safe by holding them at gunpoint.
