Ellie's Dark Path in The Last of Us

Ellie The Last Of Us Season 2

Title: 'The Last of Us Part II: Ellie’s Descent – A True Crime Investigation'

Opening Scene: A Chilling Discovery
Seattle, Washington – 2039

The rain-soaked streets of Seattle’s abandoned quarantine zone are eerily silent—until a group of scavengers stumbles upon a grisly scene. A corpse, half-buried in mud, shows signs of brutal violence: deep knife wounds, a shattered skull, and fingers broken post-mortem. Nearby, a bloodstained switchblade lies discarded.

This isn’t just another victim of the infected. This is a murder. And the killer’s trail leads to one name: Ellie Williams.

Episode 1: 'The Girl Who Lost Everything'

'Revenge turns survivors into monsters.'

True Crime Narration (à la Serial or Dateline):
'In the aftermath of Joel Miller’s murder, Ellie—once a symbol of hope—vanished into the wilderness. But when a trail of bodies began appearing across Wyoming and Washington, whispers pointed to a ruthless killer. Was this the same girl who once joked about puns and played the guitar? Or had grief forged something darker?'

Flashback – Jackson, Wyoming (2038):
Security logs show Ellie leaving Jackson days after Joel’s death. Witnesses describe her as 'blank,' 'armed to the teeth,' and 'talking to herself.'

Evidence Board:

Victim #1: A Seraphite scout, found with a bullet between the eyes—execution-style.

Victim #2: A WLF deserter, throat slit, left with a drawing of a moth (Ellie’s tattoo symbol).

Victim #3: An elderly ex-Firefly, tortured for information on Abby Anderson’s whereabouts.

Detective Angle:
An ex-FEDRA investigator, now a Seattle QZ enforcer, pieces together Ellie’s path. Interviews with survivors paint conflicting portraits:

'She helped us kill infected, then just… snapped.' — Rattler captive.

'I saw her crying over a dying dog. Next day, she burned down a WLF outpost.' — Scavenger.

Episode 2: 'The Cycle'

'Hate is a virus worse than Cordyceps.'

True Crime Narration:
'Ellie’s killings escalate—no longer just hunters or slavers, but anyone tied to Abby. Yet some deaths don’t fit. A teenage Wolf, begging for mercy, spared. A Seraphite child given food. Was the monster losing her nerve?'

Crime Scene – Theater Massacre:
Blood spatter analysis reveals Ellie fought Abby in a frenzied, blind rage. But forensics show pauses—moments where she hesitated.

Psychological Profile (Expert Commentary):
'This isn’t psychopathy. It’s a trauma response. She’s dissociating, replaying Joel’s death in every kill.'

Key Witness – Dina (Interview Tape):
'She kept saying, ‘I have to finish it.’ But when she came back… she wasn’t Ellie anymore.'

Episode 3: 'The Farmhouse Incident'

'Can a killer ever go home?'

True Crime Narration:
'After Santa Barbara, Ellie returned to Dina… but not for long. Fingerprint analysis places her at a remote farmhouse where she slaughtered Rattlers hunting the property. Yet this time, she left survivors—telling them, ‘Run. Now.’'

Theories:

Was this redemption? Or just exhaustion?

Did losing her fingers in the final fight with Abby sever her obsession?

Final Shot:
Ellie’s journal, recovered near an empty highway. The last entry: 'I don’t know if I’m the hunter or the hunted anymore.'

Closing Monologue:

'Ellie Williams was never found. Some say she walked into the wilderness to die. Others claim she’s still out there, a ghost in a world of ghosts. One thing is certain: in the apocalypse, the line between hero and villain isn’t just blurred… it’s buried.'

Post-Credits Tease:
A grainy security feed shows a hooded figure boarding a ferry to Alaska. The camera zooms in—a glimpse of a moth tattoo.

Fade to black.
