Events of HBO's The Last of Us

Season 2

In 2018, while on patrol in an armored car, Patel listened to Janowicz's story about how his former sergeant Greenberg treated dissenters. He heard as Burton asked why he called them "voters", causing Isaac to respond it was because FEDRA took away the citizen's right to vote so it became a common mocking name for them.

The driver then stopped the truck upon reaching a roadblock from a school bus. Isaac spotted in the rear-view mirror that WLF members were approaching them. Martinez prepared to lock and load in preparation for an attack, but Isaac ordered him not to, revealing he intended to talk to them, taking only Burton out of the truck with him. Shortly after, Isaac returned. Having decided to defect to the WLF, he tossed two frag grenades into the car, locking Patel and the others inside. Patel died in the blast.
