"Please Hold to My Hand" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American 末日幻想 剧情片 television series 最后生还者 (电视剧). The episode was written by series co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Jeremy Webb. It aired on HBO on February 5, 2023. In the episode, Joel (佩德罗·帕斯卡) and Ellie (贝拉·拉姆齐) encounter an ambush in 堪萨斯城 (密苏里州). Elsewhere in the city, bandit leader Kathleen (梅兰妮·林斯基), her second-in-command 最后生还者 (电视剧)角色列表 (Jeffrey Pierce), and their group search for Henry (拉玛尔·约翰逊 (演员)) and his brother Sam (Keivonn Montreal Woodard).

Kansas City replaced 匹兹堡, as seen in 最后生还者 on which the series is based, as Mazin found the production location in 卡尔加里 more closely resembled the city and the distance to Kansas City justified additional character development. The writers felt adapting to television allowed an opportunity to explore characters like Kathleen and Perry, who were not in the game. The episode received positive reviews, with praise for its writing, direction, cinematography, and performances of Lynskey, Pascal, and Ramsey. It was watched by 7.5 million viewers on its first day.

Plot

开车前往怀俄明州的路上，乔尔（佩德罗·帕斯卡饰）向艾莉（贝拉·拉姆齐饰）提起他与弟弟汤米的过去：疫情爆发后，两人加入一群前往波士顿的幸存者，并与泰丝和玛琳相识；总是想为某个理念打拼的汤米接受了火萤的招募，但之后又一走了之。在森林中露营过夜时，乔尔警告艾莉不要相信任何人。隔天，两人抵达已经荒废的堪萨斯城。高速公路被堵住，迫使乔尔为了绕道而驱车进城。艾莉看到一名哀声求助的男子，但乔尔直接朝他辗过去。一块砖头打破车子的挡风玻璃，轮胎被钉条刺破，随后枪声四起，车子最终撞进了一家洗衣店。

乔尔用步枪射杀了两个人，艾莉则躲了起来。第三个人布莱恩偷袭乔尔并掐住他，艾莉拿出手枪射击布莱恩的背，使他下半身瘫痪。乔尔没收了艾莉的手枪并要她回避，随后用刀刺死不断求饶的布莱恩。在布莱恩的其他同伙发现尸体时，乔尔和艾莉逃离现场。堪萨斯城目前由革命军占领，他们在凯瑟琳·柯格兰（梅兰妮·林斯基饰）的领导下推翻了对策局。柯格兰得知布莱恩等人的死讯后，声称凶手是叛徒亨利·布瑞尔雇来的，并命令追随者搜遍整座城；亨利是当年害凯瑟琳之兄被当局处决的告密者。与此同时，乔尔指导艾莉如何正确握枪，并同意让她持枪。

凯瑟琳的左右手派瑞（Jeffrey Pierce饰）给她看了亨利曾藏身的房间。他们发现地下贮藏室的地板凹凸变形，底下有某种东西在动。派瑞坚决表态要解决这个问题，但凯瑟琳要他别声张，优先找出亨利。乔尔挑了一栋视野良好的高层建筑，希望能从周遭找出一条逃生路线。在某个房间里躺下休息时，艾莉讲的一个笑话让乔尔第一次笑了出来。不知道多久后，乔尔被惊慌的艾莉唤醒，并发现一名男子（拉玛尔·约翰逊饰）和一个小孩（Keivonn Montreal Woodard饰）用枪指着他们。

Production

Conception and writing

The episode was written by series co-creator Craig Mazin.

"Please Hold to My Hand" was written by 最后生还者 (电视剧) series co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Jeremy Webb. The Directors Guild of Canada revealed Webb was assigned to direct for the series in January 2022. In the episode, Kansas City replaces 匹兹堡 as seen in 最后生还者 on which the series is based. Mazin found the production locations in Canada more closely imitated Kansas City and felt Pittsburgh was not important enough to the story to justify the difficulty in manufacturing it. Co-creator 尼尔·德鲁克曼, who wrote and co-directed the video game, considered it a superficial change as the characters are more important than the location. He and Mazin felt the additional distance to Kansas City justified the story beats and character development. Mazin enjoyed the use of Ellie's joke book in the game and felt its inclusion in the series allowed effective development between her and Joel. Mazin found Joel's decision to allow Ellie to use a gun demonstrated his trust in her, and considered it "the most father-daughter moment they've had".

Casting and characters

In August, 拉玛尔·约翰逊 (演员) and Keivonn Montreal Woodard's casting as Henry and Sam was announced alongside the confirmation of Kansas City replacing Pittsburgh. Jeffrey Pierce's casting as Perry was announced on July 15; Pierce previously portrayed Tommy in the video games. He reached out to Druckmann to offer his support for the series and "was lucky that something came up that fit"; he auditioned for a different role three times but Mazin and Druckmann felt his performance was unbelievable "as a victim", ultimately offering him the role of Perry about a week later. Perry is an original character in the show who, according to Pierce, "has huge implications for things" that occurred in the game. The script described him as a former military member.

梅兰妮·林斯基's casting as Kathleen was announced alongside a teaser trailer for the series in September 2022. Kathleen is an original character created by Mazin as the leader of a group of hunters who appeared in the game. Druckmann found following antagonistic characters made the story more interesting, allowing an understanding and justification of their actions, as opposed to being seen as "obstacles" like in the game. Mazin compared Kathleen to Madame Defarge from 查尔斯·狄更斯's 双城记 (1859): a revolutionary who becomes terroristic due to cruel circumstances, which allows the audience to empathize.

Mazin, who was friends with Lynskey, reached out to her about the role and described the character as "a war criminal". She was initially hesitant until Mazin pitched more about the character, describing her as someone who was forced into a role after the death of her brother, who "was basically 耶稣". She could relate to the character's motivations due to her relationship with her four siblings. Mazin and Druckmann felt her casting was unusual as she has a "sweetness" that conflicts with Kathleen's position in the episode, an intentional decision to intrigue the audience; Lynskey wanted to play the character as "soft spoken and delicate" to juxtapose her violence. She felt Kathleen was likely less intense prior to her brother's death but was forced to become hardened due to her circumstances. In response to a comment from 雅芝·加里 stating Kathleen's "body says life of luxury...not post apocolyptic（原文如此） warlord", Lynskey wrote the character was meant to be intelligent rather than muscly. She later added she wanted to portray the character as "feminine, and soft-voiced, and all the things that we've been told are 'weak'", noting she was hoping to subvert expectations.

Music

The episode title references the lyrics of 汉克·威廉斯's "Alone and Forsaken", which is played during the episode and in 最后生还者.

The episode's title references the lyrics of "Alone and Forsaken" by 汉克·威廉斯, which Joel and Ellie play on the radio. The song was used during the same scene in the video game, as well as one of the series' trailers. GameRevolution's Daniel Falconer recognized the lyrics represented Ellie's promises to Joel and foreshadowed her apparent immaturity. The credits use Lotte Kestner's cover of "True Faith", which itself was covered by 艾希莉·强森 in-character as Ellie in a 2020 trailer for 最后生还者 第II章. Madeline Carpou of The Mary Sue felt its inclusion reflected Ellie's character arc: her actions in the episode set her down a path towards the events of Part II. Following their use in the episode, "True Faith" and "Alone and Forsaken" ranked sixth and seventh, respectively, on 告示牌 (杂志)'s Top TV Songs 告示牌榜单 for February.

Filming

Eben Bolter worked as 摄影指导 for the episode. Some of the early scenes were filmed at the 莱斯布里奇高架桥. For the scene of Ellie testing her gun in the mirror, a hole was added to the ceiling with natural sunlight; Bolter wanted it to illuminate Ellie "without being too perfect". 卡尔加里 was used to recreate Kansas City in the episode. The scene in which Joel and Ellie hide from the hunters was filmed in an old bar in Calgary, though the location changed several times before filming. It was one of the few times an interior in the series was filmed on 外景拍摄 instead of a 摄影棚; the production team wanted the visuals of trucks driving past, which they found difficult to imitate on a soundstage. The walls were colored a "vivid" red emphasized by 花窗玻璃 near the ceiling. Bolter requested newspapers on the windows to create a diffused, 柔光效应 and make the scene feel more intimate and safe. Additional photography took place on October 4 near Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri, and on Interstate 435 in 堪萨斯城 (堪萨斯州).

Reception

Broadcast and ratings

The episode aired on HBO on February 5, 2023. The episode had 7.5 million viewers in the United States on its first night, including 广播节目编排 and streams on Max (流媒体)—an increase of 17 percent from the previous week and 60 percent from 当你迷失在黑暗中. On linear television, it had 991,000 viewers on its first night, with a 0.26 ratings share.

Critical response

The performances of 梅兰妮·林斯基, 佩德罗·帕斯卡, and 贝拉·拉姆齐 (L–R) were widely praised by critics.

On review aggregator 烂番茄, "Please Hold to My Hand" has an approval rating of 100 percent based on 33 reviews, with an average rating of 7.7/10. The website's critical consensus called the episode "a terse chapter that's preoccupied with setup over payoff" but "an absorbing watch all the same thanks to Joel and Ellie's budding chemistry".

Lynskey's performance received praise. Den of Geek's Bernard Boo wrote she "does a fantastic job of coming across as formidable and vicious while letting her character's humanity seep through just enough". The Escapist's Darren Mooney lauded her juxtaposition of a "domestic archetype with something more primal and violent beneath it". Total Film's Bradley Russell felt Lynskey's performance lacked the necessary intimidation, and 影音俱乐部's David Cote considered her "a counterintuitive choice" for the role, adding he is "waiting to be convinced". 佩德罗·帕斯卡 and 贝拉·拉姆齐's performances as Joel and Ellie were praised; Den of Geek's Boo lauded their nuance in quieter moments. The A.V. Club's Cote enjoyed Pascal's warmth and humor, particularly in scenes in which he teaches Ellie, and Push Square's Aaron Bayne felt Ramsey's performance would win over viewers who doubted their casting, lauding their portrayal of both trauma and humor. 华盛顿邮报's Gene Park similarly wrote the episode was "Ramsey's time to flex those muscles" of humor.

Push Square's Bayne found the pacing effectively blended character moments and action sequences, and wanted the episode to be longer as a result. IndieWire's Steve Greene praised Mazin and Druckmann for showing the quiet successes of Joel and Ellie's journey alongside the setbacks. IGN's Simon Cardy enjoyed the humorous moments between Joel and Ellie, though noted the episode was generally weaker as it primarily stands to set up the following one. Total Film's Russell found the character moments provided "just the right amount of levity". Den of Geek's Boo considered Kathleen and her group less interesting than the previous episode's Bill and Frank, but acknowledged their stories remained unfinished. 滚石 (杂志)'s Alan Sepinwall wrote the narrative setup, while less engaging than the previous week, was necessary considering the events of the following episode.

IGN's Cardy compared the cinematography during the ambush sequence to 艾曼纽尔·卢贝兹基's work in 人类之子 (2006), calling it demonstrative of "the classiness on display in every aspect of the show's production". He praised the use of handheld camera movements and 特写 shots to follow Joel and Ellie's movements. Push Square's Webb lauded Webb's direction for focusing on quieter moments, and The Escapist's Mooney applauded his decision to keep the camera on Ellie and Kathleen when they fire their guns. 纽约时报's Noel Murray commended John Paino's production design, "from the trashed gas stations to the wreckage-strewn Kansas City streets".
