Plot summary
Joel and Ellie are forced to detour through Kansas City, Missouri, where they are ambushed by bandits. Joel kills two, but Ellie must save him from a third with Frank's pistol. Joel feels guilty for this and apologizes to Ellie. He then counsels her about the firefight and teaches her to use the pistol. The bandits' leader, Kathleen, believes Joel and Ellie to be in contact with a man named Henry and orders a city-wide manhunt. Perry, Kathleen's deputy, discovers something growing under the building, but Kathleen prioritizes the manhunt. Joel and Ellie sleep in a high-rise apartment, hoping to scout a way out of the city, but are awoken by two strangers holding them at gunpoint.
