- (FBE) Today is a big moment that the subscribers
have been asking for for a long, long time.
- That makes me nervous.
- A long time, huh?
- (FBE) You will be doing a let's play of The Last of Us: Left Behind.
- What is that? - I've never played Last--
- Wait, I've played Last of Us. - Actually, I feel like I have.
- I have never heard of this.
I thought it was gonna be Two, and I was like, is this not out yet?
- Yes!
People keep tweeting me, like, "Have you played this yet?"
- Yeah, that's true. Yes, actually--
- Now we can be like, "Yes, I have."
- I played The Last of Us.
I'm excited to get back into it.
In The Last of Us 2, they announced
that that's coming out in a couple years.
- (FBE) This is a DLC from the original game
that gives you a little insight into Ellie's backstory.
- Oh, it's like an extra thing?
- Her friend was infected, and then her friend died,
but Ellie didn't, right? - Mm-hmm.
That's gotta be a weird process, to find out you're immune.
So that'd be crazy if that's what the story is about.
- (FBE) Even though we couldn't bring back
all the Reactors who played Last of Us on the React channel,
Jasser, you have played the game before,
and we got this surprise video message for you.
- For me?
- (Rachel) Hey, everyone, it's Rachel.
I am so sorry that I can't be there to play Last of Us.
I am out of state at school right now,
but I am so excited that Jasser is jumping in to play for me.
I will definitely be watching, and I can't wait to see
what happens with Ellie's character.
Thank you again and I'll see you guys soon!
- Oh, whoa!
Thanks, Rachel. I'll try my best.
- (FBE) Mikaela, you also have a video message.
- I do?
- (Kaelyn) Hey, y'all, it's Kaelyn. - (gasping) It's Kaelyn!
- Um, so really quickly, I just wanted to say
I'm super sorry, but I won't be able to play the game.
I am out of state for school right now.
- She's in Arizona.
- Mikaela will be playing for me.
She'll be taking my spot. - Aww, that's my girl!
That's my girl.
- (Kaelyn) Of course, I would want my best friend to play for me.
I love you guys and see you later.
- I miss Kaelyn! - That was so cute.
- That's my girl. (laughing)
I feel the pressure because she said I was playing for her.
I feel like a torch got passed on there.
Like, that's my girl. I gotta represent.
- (Ellie) What? - What?
♪ (suspenseful music) ♪ - (Ellie) Fireflies?
- (Joel) Get down! (gun blast)
(window shattering) - Ooh, okay, throwback.
- (hunter) Got you, asshole! - (Joel grunting)
- I remember that scene. - (Joel groaning)
- That was wild.
- (Ellie) Joel? - (Joel wincing)
- (Ellie) Put your arm around me. - (Joel gasping for breath)
- (Ellie) Come on. - (Joel grunting in pain)
- Oh my god, I forgot, I named the horse George,
so that's George. - Okay, okay.
- Important detail. - (giggling)
- (Ellie) I think we're safe.
- It's interesting that it's starting us off
from the middle of... - (Ellie) Joel?!
- ...the game, but it's kind of good
because it gives us some context.
- So this is probably like how they get from fall to winter.
- (Ellie) You gotta tell me what to do.
(Ellie grunting) Come on...
You gotta get up!
(voice fading) Joel? - So that's Ellie.
You can tell, obviously. - Yes.
- So melancholy.

(rain falling softly)
Oh, okay, so now... we're back to the old days.
(door creaking)
- Um... okay.
- (girl hissing playfully) - Oh my god.
- Yo, that was confusing. I was like, what the hell?
- (Ellie) Riley? - (Riley giggling) Ow!
- Isn't that her friend? - Yeah, this is a throwback.
- (Riley) I landed on my hip. - (Ellie) What the hell?
I thought I was bitten. - (Riley) I know.
It was kind of awesome. - Who is this?
Did we get introduced to this girl in the last game?
- Her friend died when she was bit.
- (Riley) You're not gonna kill me, are you?
- So this is the friend that died.
- (Riley) You're not gonna kill me, are you?
- Foreshadow.
- She's like, I don't know yet.
- (Ellie) I haven't seen you... in I don't even know how long.
- (Riley) 45 days.
Well, 46. - Who's counting?
- (Riley) Want to know what I've been up to?
(rain falling softly)
- (Ellie) All this time, I thought you were dead.
- (Riley) Yeah... - This game looks really good.
- (Riley) Here. Look.
- (Ellie) No way.
- (Riley) Still no roommate?
I had to sleep under Liz for three years,
and you know how bad that girl smelled.
- So she's a Firefly now, I guess.
- (Ellie) You're a Firefly.
- Watch, she's gonna be all ballsy because she's like,
"I'm a Firefly now.
I don't need to worry about zombies."
- It looks so real. It's so nice. - I know, I know.
The graphics are amazing.
- (Riley) You still have it up. - (Ellie sighing)
- (Riley) What? What are you doing?
- (Ellie) I'm making sure I don't get caught
with a Firefly in my room. - (Riley) Relax.
- Ooh, she doesn't want to be part of the Fireflies.
- (Ellie) Here. Congrats.
- (Riley) Hey.
Are we cool?
- This is, like, a weird friendship.
I don't understand what's happening.
- (Riley) I disappeared and you're mad.
And I owe you an explanation.
Let's get out of here and I'll tell you all about it.
- (Ellie) It's almost morning, and I have military drills.
You know, where we learn how to kill Fireflies?
- (chuckling sardonically)
- (Riley) Put some pant on and let's go.
- (amused) "Put some pants on."
- (Ellie sighing) I'm so dumb.
- (Riley scoffing) Now, c'mon.
When have we ever gotten into trouble?
- Okay, that's a loaded question.
- (Ellie, breathlessly) Shit!
- Flash forward now.
- (Ellie) C'mon, gimme something.
(panting) [Bleep]!
(utensils clinking) Here we go.
- So we're jumping around-- - Yeah, yeah.
- (Ellie) Jesus.
- Oh, ew. - Oh!
- I think she's trying to patch up the wound.
- Dude, how? Holy sh--
(pulling tape)
I don't get how you live that.
- (Ellie grunting) - Just put a Band-Aid on it.
- (Joel groaning softly) - He's fine.
- He can get up and fight. - He's sleeping.
- Fight some more. - He'll be up in five minutes.
- (Ellie) That should buy us some time.
I'll find something to stitch you up, okay?
Callus, keep an eye on him. - Uh, George.
Yeah, I remember having this argument with her before.
(Callus snorting) - (Ellie grunting)
(roll-up gate booming)
I'll be back in a flash.
I promise.
- Oh, so this is the game entirely we're playing as Ellie?
Now I get it.
Now I understand why it's called "Left Behind."
- "Left Behind." I get it.
"Left Behind."
- (Ellie) I totally got this.
- Okay, I think we're gonna start gameplay now.
- (Ellie) Now where in the [bleep] do I go?
- So right now, we're in a mall, I believe.
It seems like a mall. - Hell yeah.
- Judging by the directory, we're at the Colorado Mountain Plaza.
- So this is like the first time Ellie's on her own, right?
- Yeah.
- We've got to go get some supplies for Joel, right,
because he's dying.
So time is of the essence.
- I'm gonna go up the down escalator
because, you know, I just don't care.
(ominous noises) - Oh, I heard Clickers.
- (Ellie) Oh shit!
(ominous noises) - You hear that?
- You hear that? Yeah. - (chuckling nervously)
- I'm getting, like, that Clicker anxiety.
- Bro, I have no bullets too.
- Try to loot everything you can because
because there's barely anything around here.
- Brick, a brick. ♪ (chime) ♪
- (gasping) Mother-- - Jesus!
(laughing) That noise is already startling.
♪ (chime) ♪
- Uh, click L3.
- (Ellie) Weston's Pharmacy. That sounds promising.
- Okay, yeah, because we want to get medical supplies.
- This is far into the apocalypse.
I bet you that place has been picked clean.
- I don't want to look.
I feel like the second I go in here,
some shit is gonna come out and scare me.
- I have no bullets.
If we run into one...
- And, also, I'm not playing, you know, so it's like
if I see something, I have to call it out.
- You want to play? - I don't know.
Where am I looking?
- So there's something right there.
That's what the little circle means.
Oh. - Who is this?
- (Ellie) What the hell?
Did you just swallow the pills and leave the bottle?
- Oh, yes! That's exactly what happened.
Then the person [bleep] died, and now they're a Clicker.
- (Ellie) Of course. Everything's picked clean.
- Yeah, I mean, yep, that's just how it is.
- I thought that's a major problem in the apocalypse.
- Yeah, I think everything's just gonna be gone.
- Everything would be gone really quick.
- Check the drawer. - The drawer, always good.
- Oh yeah, there's a pair of scissors in there.
- When you pick up tools, you can make
your own makeshift weapons. - Okay, okay.
- So you can make these grenades that have scissors in them.
- Oh, of course, we gotta go into the back.
- Is it open? - (Ellie) Oh, come on!
- Use the scissors to pick the lock. - Ooh!
- (Ellie) How the [bleep] do I get inside?
- You don't.
- I was waiting for something to pop-- "need key," yep.
The door is rusted. Kick it down.
Use a chair. Be resourceful.
Like, come on.
- We need a key.
- It could be behind the desk somewhere.
- Eh... nope. We got a note.
- Oh, there's a letter.
Maybe it'll tell us where the key is.
- "Please read.
The pharmacist went crazy and attacked me.
I hit him pretty hard. He's unconscious.
I locked him in the American Princess store next door."
- The combination is 35-30-31.
- I saw the Princess Store.
It's right out-- I know where it is. - All right.
- I'll show you. - We'll find it.
- Where's American Princess? - Uh, probably that one.
That store is really creepy, just a bunch of small dolls.
- (Ellie) 30 left... 31 right.
- So we didn't even have to memorize it.
All right. She got it. - Yeah, I know.
(roll-up door squeaking noisily)
(Ellie grunting) - Ew!
- Back up. - Argh, anxiety!
- I'm gonna listen. No, we good, we good.
- I really hate this. - (Ellie) Shit. Spores.
- Oh, [bleep]. What does that mean?
Does it mean one of the Bloaters is around here or something?
- (Ellie) If you're gonna jump out at me--
- NO!! Don't invite him to do it!
- Okay, you wanna-- - Some paper, some scissors.
It's always good to get the supplies.
- Can we makeshift stuff right now?
Can you go into your bag?
Open your bag and see if you can craft something.
- No, not yet.
- Where the hell this thing at?
Oh, is that--? - Yeah, it's just in the wall.
- Is that him? - (yelping)
- Ugh! - Okay, Jesus Christ.
- Is he dead?
- These spores start making them into the Clickers,
and they just progressively get more disgusting.
- (Ellie) Don't come to life.
- Well, you should have stabbed it first.
- Yeah, right?
- I hate these scenes because you never know
whether they're gonna jump out at you.
Aaaah! - (Ellie) [Bleep].
- See?
- Stop lingering!
Get it and-- aaaah!! - Oh my god! He's moving!
- Oh god, oh god. - Oh god.
- Oh, it's moving, it's moving.
Oh my god. - (Ellie) [Bleep].
- (chuckling anxiously)
- (Clicker growling) - (gasping)
- (Ellie) Shit!
- Oh, Clickers, dude. - (Ellie) Shit!
- (Clicker growling) - Oh...
- If you want, you can throw it somewhere
and I think it will distract him.
- (Clicker croaking)
(brick smashing into roll-up door) - [Bleep]!
No!! No! No! - (cracking up)
- All right, one more time. One more time.
(glass breaking) (Clicker snarling)
- All right, go that way. - (shrilly) Aah!
- (Clicker croaking)
(glass breaking)
- (Clicker snarling) - Aaah!!
- Ew! That is disgusting.
- Ellie, run! Run, bitch!
- We good. We good.
Too easy.
- Look out, he's right there.
(door squeaking) - (Ellie) Yes!
- All right. - Close the door behind you!
- Tripping us out. - What the--?!
- (Ellie) [Bleep]. - (laughing)
- This game-- that is this entire game.
It's like, "Hope? Nope!"
- Really? - I know.
Typical, typical video game scenario.
- I remember this now.
It's always-- there's always something wrong.
- (Ellie) A military helicopter. - (sighing)
- That was just-- okay. - (Ellie) It's gotta have something.
- I mean, not really.
- A military helicopter. Head over there, bro.
- X. (glass crunching)
- There you go.
- Let's run to the other side of that door.
- Yeah, let's go through here.
(clicking flashlight) - I'm gonna come over here.
- Yeah, search around a bit.
Need to get materials so we can start making
Molotavs and whatnot.
- Stuff around here to loot.
Let's see, stuff over there. - We can get some rags.
There we go. And some scissors.
- Very good.
Yep, no, we're still-- - Oh, alcohol.
- We need alcohol, yeah.
- What is that? - A dead person.
And we have to go over there.
There's something shining. - (groaning)
- (Ellie) Yeesh.
(Ellie groaning) No sutures.
Well, at least we can use this. - What is that?
- I don't know. - Oh, no, he was a medical guy.
Yeah, it's a first aid kit.
- Am I using it on myself or am I saving it for Joel?
No, that's for you. That's a first-- yeah.
- Well, at least I have full health.
- Press square to look at the text.
- "Chief Warrant Officer Larry Caulfield died bravely
this afternoon.
We were flying back to the QZ when our patient turned."
- "Private Eugene Ellis, Officer Caulfield, and I were
the only survivors."
- "Subduing the infected, Officer Caulfield was bitten on the neck.
He immediately showed us the bite and accepted his fate.
I executed the infection protocol before Officer Caulfield
could turn into an infected.
So now what?
- Now I have to go to the helicopter,
which is all the way across the mall,
which seems stupid.
- And then... - Can you--?
- We're gonna have to jump down. - I don't think you can.
- (Ellie) Here we go! - Oh, you can, sweet.
- (Riley) Hurry. Up here. (scuffling footsteps)
(door opening) - Is this Riley again?
- (Ellie grunting) - Oh, we're going back to the past.
- (Riley) That was close, huh?
- Where are we, just at their hideout?
- (Riley) You're kind of fast there.
I'm impressed. - (scoffing) Thanks.
- You're just another 12-year-old kid.
I'm not trying to impress you. - (chuckling)
- (Riley) Remember that Firefly you bit and stole his gun?
- No. - (Ellie) Yeah, I remember.
- But I guess you're gonna tell me.
- (Riley) That's Trevor.
I saw him walking down... - Do I have guns?
- (Riley) ...so I tailed his ass. - Nope.
- (Riley) I followed him into this alley
and all these Fireflies ambushed me.
They took me right to their hideout.
To Marlene. - Who is Marlene again?
- (Ellie) Were you scared?
- Wasn't that that girl who died?
- (FBE) Marlene was the leader of the Fireflies.
- Is she one who Joel killed back then?
- (FBE) Spoiler alert, but yeah.
- (Riley) I thought this time she would actually shoot me,
but instead she just says, "What took you so long?"
She was expecting me.
- (Ellie) And she just made you a Firefly?
- (Riley) Something like that.
That whole almost killing me thing was a test.
She wanted to know I was committed.
She asked about you. - (Ellie) Really?
- (Riley) She says you remind her of your mom.
- (Ellie scoffing) Well, she'd know more than me.
- Oh, where'd she go? I wasn't paying attention.
I feel like she went up somewhere.
- What the--?
There just happens to be that right there, you know?
- I mean, yeah. - Makes sense.
- (Riley) Who do you hang out with these days?
- (Ellie) I don't know. No one really.
- Same, girl.
- (Riley) What about Tino and the rest of the guys?
How are they doing?
- (Ellie) Riley, those are your friends.
- (Riley) But you talk to them.
- Dude, can you tell me why we're even doing this?
Like, why are we--?
- I don't know what we're trying to do.
- Are we just friends?
- (announcer) Attention.
We are pleased to report the zone has been free...
- [Inaudible]. Wake up, sheeple.
- (Riley) 30 days, my ass.
- Wait! Wait! Don't I remember this?
Didn't we-- - Yeah, exactly.
- Didn't Joel... - This is the same building.
- ...go up that?
- (Ellie) You've run into more infected?
- We're, like, going backwards, the way Joel went.
- Liberty Gardens. - (Ellie grunting)
- (Riley) Oh, shit! Hide! - Oh, story time.
This is my favorite part.
- There are lights on this time.
- Yeah, because it's military, right?
Yeah.
- We're out past curfew, dude.
- At least she's not with the soldiers,
but she's living on their campus, kind of.
- I don't even know where they're trying to sneak off to.
- (Ellie) Hey, so... maybe I should join the Fireflies.
- No.
- (Riley) That was the first thing I asked Marlene.
- Yeah, Marlene, that bitch! - (Riley) She wants you safe
at that stupid school.
I'm not even supposed to come see you.
She's worried I'll get you into trouble.
- We just know she dies.
- (Riley) Hey, remember the first time I brought you here?
- (Ellie) What are we doing-- - Is this the mall?
It's not like-- - The mall that we were at--
- Yeah, but it's a mall, so she's thinking about it.
- (Riley) I have a surprise for you.
- (Ellie) What? Is it a dinosaur?
- (Riley) Maybe.
- (Ellie) I'll be your friend again if it's a dinosaur.
- (Riley) You'll just have to wait and see.
- I say "what" but I feel like this is the kind of conversation
I have with my friends. - (laughing)
- We don't have to really worry about looting
because it's in the past. - Mm-hmm.
This is all story right here.
Might as well be a cut scene.
- Her voice sounds really familiar and it's bothering me.
Oh, where is it? Oh.
- (Ellie) You know, I got them back.
- (Riley) Our water guns? Bullshit!
You telling me Corporal Dickhead gave them back to you?
- (Ellie) Of course not.
I had to sneak into his office.
Riley, I had them in my hands.
- (Riley) Oh, Ellie.
I keep telling you to give up on them.
They're never coming back.
- (Ellie sighing) They will be mine again.
- Oh, I thought she was talking about her parents or something.
She's still talking about a water gun.
I was like, "Oh, this is getting deep."
- At least they're having a good time, you know?
- Yeah. - Everyone's dead.
But they're having a good time.
- (Riley) I can't believe Winston's gone.
- (Ellie) You heard? - (Riley) Yeah.
Do you know how it happened?
- (Ellie) They said he just fell off his horse.
Heart attack or something. - (Riley) Man.
Well, how many people get to die of natural causes in this world?
- (scoffing) None.
- (Riley) Let's see what he left us.
- (Ellie) Really? - A pot of stew right there, dude.
- Ah, they're looting his place.
Messed up.
- Newspaper. (leaving through)
- (Ellie) What?
- Do we know this guy? - (Ellie) Is this Winston?
- Oh, that is Winston. - (Ellie chuckling)
Man, the guy used to be handsome.
- You're right.
- (Riley) Want some?
- Is that alcohol?
- (Riley) Want some? - Um, no!
- (laughing) Should we accept or reject?
- It's up to you. I don't know.
I'm not judging you based on your decision though,
so choose wisely!
- That's it for today, but we'll be back soon
to play more of The Last of Us: Left Behind.
