An early The Last of Us<\/a> <\/em>episode?! Thank you, Super Bowl<\/a>. Folks, it\u2019s finally time to find out if Henry is a good guy or a bad guy. Introduced by name nearly over a dozen times as rebel leader Kathleen<\/a> (played by Yellowjackets<\/em>\u2019s Melanie Lynskey) kicked off her quest for blood, Henry ended the last episode by capturing our main duo at gunpoint. To learn more about what makes this guy so important? We start Episode Five by going back in time. <\/p>\n

Dropped in the middle of a protest that turns violent, we see Henry hiding with his younger brother, Sam, who is deaf. Kathleen resents him for selling out their secrets to FEDRA\u2014and she blames him for the death of her brother. More on that later. Right now, she\u2019s questioning a group of captured potential informants. \u201cWhere is Henry?\u201d she asks. It\u2019s her number-one line, like when Batman<\/a> interrogates the Joker in The Dark Knight<\/em>. Someone mentions that he\u2019s with a man named Edelstein. I\u2019m going to guess is that he’s doctor Kathleen killed last episode. <\/p>\n

Kathleen wants to send out her troops to find Henry, but her henchman, Perry, isn\u2019t so sure that going on a vengeance quest is the best use of their time. Fun fact: the actor who plays Perry is the voice actor for Joel\u2019s brother, Tommy, in the video game. \u201c[Henry] is not my seventh priority, Perry,\u201d she tells him. \u201cIs that what he is to you?\u201d Kathleen, we get it. You hate Henry. Then, she makes Perry kill all the prisoners\u2014and light their bodies on fire. I\u2019m starting to think Henry might be the good guy here! Well, that’s all but confirmed following a heartwarming scene between Henry and his brother, Sam. Scared and hiding from the bloodthirsty Kathleen, Henry helps Sam color the walls with crayons to fix the \u201cugly\u201d place where they\u2019re both holed up. Jumping forward in time to their ambush of Joel and Ellie, Henry informs them, \u201cWe don\u2019t want to hurt you, we want to help you.\u201d Classic good guy talk.<\/p>\n

In a tense scene, the four of them get acquainted and share food. Henry says that he can help them get out of the city in the morning, and later shares his story with Joel. He wasn\u2019t one of those evil FEDRA government soldiers, But Henry says he was \u201cworse,\u201d adding, \u201cI was a collaborator.\u201d Joel almost backs out because he \u201cdoesn\u2019t work with rats,\u201d but Henry convinces him that they need each other if they\u2019re going to get out of Kansas City alive. \u201cI\u2019ve never killed anyone,\u201d Henry says. \u201cAnd pointing a gun at you was the closest I\u2019ve ever been to getting violent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Explaining his plan to Joel, Henry has Sam write \u201ctunnels\u201d on his little dry-erase board, instead of Henry just saying it out loud. I guess he has a flair for the dramatic, as if he\u2019s in Ocean\u2019s Eleven. <\/em>So, the group sets off down the tunnels, even though it sounds like a death trap. On their travels, Joel apologizes for calling him a rat, saying that he doesn\u2019t know his situation. Henry reveals that he only snitched only Kathleen\u2019s brother so that FEDRA would give him medicine for Sam, who has leukemia. Kathleen, it seems, either doesn\u2019t know this\u2014or is too blind with rage. After learning the whole story, I feel like Henry isn\u2019t worth all the effort. I\u2019m sure the hunter have more important things to worry about like finding food, or killing the mushroom zombies.<\/p>\n

Joel and the gang come upon a sniper, which is a great stealth level. (Hold L2 to crouch behind cars. Try to make your way closer when the shooter reloads. Joel goes around through the back of the house and takes out the sniper. He gives him a chance to live, but the sniper makes a move. One successful quick-time event later and Joel kills the sniper. A big snowplow comes after Ellie, Henry, and Sam, but Joel uses the sniper\u2019s gun to take out the driver from afar. Then, Kathleen and her Firefly brigade pull up. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll come out, just let the kids go!\u201d Henry pleads. But Kathleen is hearing none of it. \u201cNo, because the girl is with the man who killed Brian,\u201d she says. Dang, these rebels are not good people. At all. \u201cI know why you did what you did,\u201d she reveals to Henry, \u201cbut did you ever stop to think that maybe [Sam] was supposed to die?\u201d Whoa! OK Kathleen, too far. There isn\u2019t enough death in this world already? \u201cDo you think this whole world revolves around him? That he’s worth everything?\u201d she asks. It\u2019s the classic case of a villain not realizing that they\u2019re doing the exact same thing they\u2019re rallying against. <\/p>\n

The standoff comes to a halt when a hundred or so infected people storm the area, and we get our first glimpse of this show’s mini-boss. Roaring as he climbs up from the tunnel\u2014likely the same monster that Kathleen tried to quarantine into oblivion last episode\u2014the massive beast tears into the army like it’s made of paper people. It slams one guy down and then rips Perry\u2019s head off. Unlike the infected, it seems more inclined to kill, rather than spread the disease. <\/p>\n

As Ellie runs around to try and help Henry, Joel snipes the infected from his window. a A terrifying little infected girl kills Kathleen, while our four heroes somehow escape with their lives. Well, sort of. Sam secretly reveals to Ellie that an infected scratched his leg\u2014and the infection is clear as day. \u201cIf you turn into a monster, is it still you inside?\u201d he asks her. Ellie breaks Joel\u2019s rule and tells him about her condition. \u201cMy blood is medicine,\u201d she says. (Oh? Is that how it works? I mean, I know she has some biological reason as to why she\u2019s immune to the infection, but it\u2019s because of her blood?) Ellie cuts her hand with a knife\u2014and then puts the blood on Sam\u2019s wound. Sadly, when they wake up in the morning, Sam attacks Ellie. After hesitating for a moment, Henry shoots his brother in the head. Shocked and distraught, he turns the gun on himself and fires. Ellie writes \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d on Sam\u2019s board after burying their bodies, and the two continue their journey west. Heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

I already figured that any third party that entered Joel and Ellie\u2019s life probably wouldn\u2019t make it out alive. It would change their never-ending Lone Wolf and Cub <\/em>dynamic. But damn! That was bleak. Part of what made Episode Three so perfect was that it didn\u2019t focus on the misery that permeates this cruel, post-apocalyptic world. Episode Five went, “Nope. Welcome to Misery Town.” The <\/em>Last of Us<\/em>? All of these heartbreaking scenes might mark The <\/em>Last of Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n
