[stammers] I just know that Will is here. [sighs] No, Mom. [stammering] Maybe if I get more lampsā¦ No, Mom. You donāt need more lamps. You need to stop this, okay? He is just lost. People are looking for him, and theyāre going to find him. [stammering] Okay. This isnāt helping. Okay, okay. Okay, Iām sorry. [sniffling] Iām sorry. Can you do me a favor, Mom? Can you just try and get some sleep? [sniffling] Yeah. Huh? Can you do that for me? I promise. I will. Yeah? Yeah. I just need to sit here for a minute. [sniffles] All right, Iāll go make breakfast. Okay. Yeah? [Jonathan sighs] [whispers] Will? [radio static] We just tell our parents we have AV Club after school. Thatāll give us at least a few hours for Operation Mirkwood. You seriously think that the weirdo knows where Will is? Just trust me on this, okay? Okay. Did you get the supplies? Yeah. Binocularsā¦ from āNam. Army knifeā¦ also from āNam. Hammer, camouflage bandanaā¦ and the wrist rocket. Youāre gonna take out the Demogorgon with a slingshot? First of all, itās a wrist rocket. And second of all, the Demogorgonās not real. Itās made up. But if there is something out there, Iām gonna shoot it in the eyeā¦ and blind it. [sighs] Dustin, what did you get? Well, alrighty. So, weāve gotā¦ Nutty Bars, Bazooka, Pez, Smarties, Pringles, Nilla Wafers, apple, banana, and trail mix. Seriously? We need energy for our travels. For stamina. And besides, why do we even need weapons anyway? We have her. [Lucas] She shut one door! With her mind! Are you kidding me? Thatās insane! Imagine all the other cool stuff she could do. Likeā¦ I betā¦ that she could make this fly! Hey. Hey. Okay, concentrate. Okay? [clatters] Okay, one more time. Okay. [sighs] Use your powers, okay? [clatters] Idiot. [Mike sighs] Sheās not a dog! [Karen] Boys! Time for school! Just stay down here. Donāt make any noise, and donāt leave. If you get hungry, eat Dustinās snacks, okay? [Karen] Michael! Coming! You know those power lines? Power lines? Yeah. The ones behind my house? Yes. Meet us there, after school. After school? Yeah, 3:15. Ah. When the numbers read three-one-five, meet us there. āThree-one-five.ā Three-one-five. [footsteps receding] [indistinct chatter] Hey! [laughs nervously] Hey! Is everything okay? Yeah! Yeah, totally. I justā¦ I feel like everyoneāsā¦ staring at me. Oh, I didnātā¦ I didnāt tell anyone. I know. I know. Of course not. But what about, like, Tommy, and Carol and them? Youāre being paranoid. Iām sorry. No. No, itās cute. Heyā¦ I had a good time. Yeah. Yeah. Me, too. [both chuckle softly] Mmm. Hmm. [indistinct chatter] [bell rings] Hey, Ally. Whereās Barb? Um, shouldnāt you know? You havenāt seen her anywhereā¦ at all? [Powell] There she is. Emerald City. [Callahan] I heard they make space weapons in there. [Powell] Space weapons? [Callahan] Yeah. You know, like, Reaganās Star Wars. I guess weāre gonna blow the Ruskies to smithereens. [guard] Hey, can I help you? Uh, yeah. Weāre here for a tour. Oh, we donāt give tours. Okayā¦ A quick look around. You have to get clearance for that. You can contact, uhā¦ Rick Schaeffer at the Department of Energy. Maybe you seen it on TV. We got a local kid thatās missing. We have reason to believe he might have snuck in here. Like I said, you have to speak to Mr. Schaeffer. [engine cuts out] Whatās your name? Patrick. Patrick, I got a panicked mayor, and I got reporters breathing down my neck and I got a very upset mother. Now, I know the kidās not in there, but I gotta check off this box. Patrick, would you do me a favor? Would you speak to your boss and see what you can swing for us? Iād really appreciate it. Iām talking ten minutes, tops. [clatters] [static crackling] [dial tone] [mimicking dial tone] [Ronald Reagan] ā¦was occupying a large part of Lebanon. Today, Syria has become a home forā¦ [HeMan] I have the power!

Coke is it! āŖ [whimpers] [sighs] [Christmas carol playing] [sighing] [sighs] Joyceā¦ Just ring me up, Donald. And you think this missing boy may have crawled through there? [Hopper] Well, that was the idea. Yeah, I just donāt see how thatād be possible. Weāve got over 100 cameras. Every square inch covered, plus all my guys. No one breaks in here. Certainly not some kid. Those cameras, you keep the tapes? [Hopper] If you donāt mind me asking, what do you guys do in here? [chuckles] Youāre asking the wrong guy. Staying one step ahead of the Russians? I expect. Something like that. Whoās in charge here? Thatād be Dr. Brenner. And he builds the space lasers? Space lasers? Ignore him. [tape rewinding] This is the night of the 6th and 7th weāre seeing here? Thatās correct. [tape stops] Is that it? Like I said, we would have seen him. The night of the 7th, we had a search party out for Will. You remember anything about that night? Mmm, not much to remember. Called it off. āCause of the storm. Yeah, a lot of rain that night. You see any rain on that tape? [Powell] What are you thinking? I donāt know. But theyāre lying. [tires screeching] [low growling] [growling continues] [music box chiming] [lullaby playing] [lullaby stops] [indistinct chatter] [Tommy] Thatās why science doesnāt make any damn sense to me. [Carol] No, I swear. Look at this. Itās totally frostbite. [muffled] Oh, thanks, man. Itās a heated pool. Well, if itās not frostbite, then what is it? Ugh, I donāt care what it is, itās disgusting! Get it off the table. Weāre eating here. Ew! [Tommy laughs] Hey, Tommy. When you left, did you see Barb? What? Barbara. Sheās not here today. I seriously have no idea who youāre talking about. Come on, donāt be an ass, man. Did youā¦ Did you see her leave last night or not? No, she was gone when we left. Probably couldnāt stand listening to all that moaning. [Tommy chuckles] [Carol moaning] [loudly] Oh, Steve! Oh, Steve! Oh, Steve! Oh, Steveā¦ Oh, Steve! [Tommy grunting loudly] [mouthing] Okay, chill. [both laughing] Listenā¦ Iām sure sheās fine. Sheās probably justā¦ sheās probably just, like, skipping or something. Yeah. Yeah, probably. [indistinct chatter] [Mike] How about this one? Too big for the sling. So, do you think Eleven was born with her powers, like the X-Men, or do you think she acquired them, likeā¦ like Green Lantern? Sheās not a superhero. Sheās a weirdo. Why does that matter? The X-Men are weirdos. If you love her so much, why donāt you marry her? What are you talking about? Mike, seriously? What? You look at her all, likeā¦ āHi, El! El! El! El! I love you so much! Would you marry me?ā [exclaiming] Shut up, Lucas. Yeah, shut up, Lucas. What are you losers doing back here? Probably looking for their missing friend. Thatās not funny. Itās serious. Heās in danger. I hate to break it to you, Toothless, but heās not in danger. Heās dead. Thatās what my dad says. He said he was probably killed by some other queer. [both laugh] Come on. Just ignore them. [both laugh] [groans] Watch where youāre going, Frogface. You all right? Yeah. [sighs] Hey. How about this one? [chuckles] Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, this is it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is the monster killer! [Mike laughs] Whoo! Hey. Oh, hey. [knocking on door] [sighs] Hey! Hey, Karen. Hiā¦ I brought you a casserole. Oh! Thank you, uhā¦ Uh, you wannaā¦ come in? [Hopper sighs] Hey, Marissa. How you doinā? You have a lot of nerve showing up here. What? You could have at least called, said, āMarissa! Hey, itās not gonna work out. Sorry I wasted your time. Iām a dick.ā Yep. Iām sorry. Uhā¦ Maybe we could go out again next week? Newspapers? You guys got newspapers around here? We have the New York Times, the Post, all the big ones. Organized by year and topic. You can find the corresponding microfiche in the reading room. Okay, weāre looking for anything on the Hawkins National Laboratory. Well, shouldnāt you be looking for that missing kid? Yeah. We are. Uh, so, why donāt you start with the Times, and weāll check out the Post. [scoffs] The librarian? [timer ticking] [Joyce chuckles] Will always loved Christmas, you know. So I thought if Iā¦ I put the lights upā¦ I donāt know, heā¦ Iād feel like he was home somehow. [stammers] Itās silly, I know. No. No, itās not silly. How is Jonathan holding up? [inhales deeply] You know, heās good at taking care of himself. He always has been, you know? Iā¦ [scoffs] I mean, he thinks Iām losing my mind, butā¦ Is something the matter? Uh, no.

Sheās quite the explorer these days. Wait, did you see something? Yeah. What didā¦ what did you see? Tell me. What did you see? Whatā¦ Joyceā¦ Joyce! Listenā¦ Karen, thank you for the casserole, but I need you to leave. Okay? [Karen sighs] [line ringing] Come on, come on, come onā¦ [Ms. Holland] Hello? Hi. Hi, uh, Ms. Holland, itās Nancy. Oh, Nancy, how are you? Good. Iām good. Um, I was just wondering, uh, is Barb there? Mmmā¦ No, she hasnāt come home yet. But she did come home, right? After the vigil? No, she said she was staying with you last night. Right, yes. She did, sorry. I meant, did she come home this morning? I think she left some textbooks and she was gonna go pick them up. Oh, um, no, I havenāt seen her. Doā¦ Do you know what? I just rememberedā¦ sheās at the library. Nancy, will you please have her call me as soon as you find her? Yeah. Yeah, I will.

[Steve clicks tongue] See, you can tell that he knows it was wrong, butā¦ Man, thatās the thing about pervertsā¦ Itās hardwired into āem. You know, they just canāt help themselves. [Tommy laughs] [Steve] Soā¦ weāll just have to take away his toy. Steveā¦ No, please, not the camera. No, no, wait, waitā¦ Tommy, Tommy. [Tommy chuckles] Itās okay. Here you go, man.
