Episode 2: Infected Dr.Ratna (Credit: HBO) In the second episode of The Last of Us we briefly move to Jakarta days before the outbreak that changed the world (in the video game and the series). In that flashback we meet Dr. Ratna a professor of mycology at the University of Indonesia. The character is played by Christine Hakim. In the episode Dr. Ratna examines a woman who is infected with the fungus and tells authorities that there is no cure for the disease that Cordyceps is causing. Perhaps the only solution 跨際數位行銷 跨際數位行銷 ptt she says is to wipe out the entire population of Jakarta with a bomb. In the episode it is not known what finally happens with the doctor or with Jakarta. Episode 3: Long Long Time Bill (Credit: HBO) Bill is a survivor who managed to isolate himself from civilization and remain healthy outside of the quarantine zone thanks to his end-time bunker. He is a solitary man very reserved and not very social. In the bunker he managed to store weapons utensils for basic needs among other things. He also built a whole security system with cameras and traps that were capable of not only infected people but also anyone who dared to trespass the neighborhood guarded by Bill. The character is played by Nick Offerman. His life changes with the arrival of Frank. Frank (Credit: HBO) Frank like Bill is a Cordyceps survivor. On his way to Boston he falls into one of Bill’s traps who lives in Lincoln Massachusetts. After proving that he was not infected Frank asks Bill for something to eat because he had not eaten for several days. Despite not being very convinced at all Bill serves Frank a plate with food hunted and grown by himself. He also offers her a bath and clean clothes. The chemistry between the two awakens after Frank and Bill play the piano. The men begin a relationship that lasted at least a decade. Frank is played by Murray Bartlett (you’ll also recognize him from being the hotel manager on The White Lotus also on HBO). Frank’s personality is completely the opposite of Bill’s: he is friendly social and in his quest to connect with people he made a friendship with Tess through radio transmissions. That friendship led him to invite Tess and Joel over for lunch together. As a result of that meeting Joel and Bill form an atypical friendship which will bear fruit in the midst of a bitter farewell. Episode 4: “Please Hold To My Hand” Kathleen (Credit: HBO) In this episode we meet Kathleen the leader of a revolutionary group in Kansas City. The character is played by Melanie Lynskey.

Henry was a PHAEDRA collaborator who turned in Michael Kathleen’s brother to obtain medicine to treat his brother Sam who had leukemia. Michael was the founder of the revolutionary group that Kathleen now leads. The brothers are originally from Kansas City the city where Joel and Ellie were passing through and where they were trapped after a confrontation with the revolutionary group.

Episode 6: “Kin” Tommy Miller (Credit: HBO) In this episode we see Joel’s brother Tommy who is played by Gabriel Luna in the post-pandemic world.We first saw Tommy in the first episode when the fungus outbreak broke out. According to show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann Tommy is the purpose of Joel’s fight since he has to have someone to save. Joel has mentioned Tommy in several episodes and in this episode we learn a little more about his history after he changed the world after being infected by Cordyceps fungus.
