Complete story — includes the ending
Two days before the global outbreak, Ratna, a mycologist in Jakarta, Indonesia, analyzes an infected corpse. She reveals that there is no cure and advises military bombings to contain the outbreak. In the present, Ellie explains to Joel and Tess that her immunity might be the key to a cure, which the Fireflies hope to synthesize in a laboratory out west. The path to the State House is blocked by an infected horde, so they cut through a museum but are attacked by blind infected known as "clickers". Ellie is bitten but shows no symptoms, proving her immunity. They arrive at the State House, where the Firefly squadron is dead. Tess reveals she was bitten and, as her dying wish, implores Joel to finish Ellie's mission. As the infected horde swarms the State House, Tess stays behind to destroy it while Joel leads Ellie to safety.
