Jonathan Byers. You two are a long way from home. Well⦠I hope you didnāt come all this way to tell me about the bear in the Harrington kidās backyard. Iāve heard that one already. Take a look. Go ahead, donāt be shy. I followed up on 200 tips, most bogus, but thatās how these things always go, okay? I know every last step Barbara took that day, every last person she talked to. The answer to what happened to your friend, itās up here somewhere. I assure you that. I just gotta connect the right dots. Timelineās wrong. Iām sorry? Your timeline is wrong. And the girl with the buzzed hair, sheās not Russian. Sheās from Hawkins Lab. Her name was Eleven. You might wanna sit down for this. [rock song playing on stereo] [engine revving] If youāre not out in an hour⦠Walking home. Yeah, yeah, I know. Hey! Watch the attitude, shit-bird. [tires screeching] [indistinct chatter] Sorry about that, Road Warrior. What happened? Short circuit in the motherboard. A real bummer. But fret not. I got another machine up and running in the back. Hold these. You better get me that date now, Sinclair. I told you I would. [grunts] And keep things PG in here, all right? [door closes] What is this shit, stalker? Sorry. I just needed a safe place. A safe place to what? Be creepy? Listen. Iām gonna tell you the truth about everything that happened last year. But if anyone finds out, you could be arrested. [sighs] Possibly killed. Killed? I need to know. Do you accept the risk? Oh, my God! This⦠this is so stupid. Do you accept the risk? Yeah. Sure. Fine. I accept the risk. Letās hear it. Last year⦠Will didnāt get lost in the woods. He got lost somewhere else. [thunder rumbling] Hey, is this where you saw him? [stutters] Is this where you saw Hopper? I think so. Yeah. [softly] Okay. [Mike] Here! Okay, so⦠so Hopper is here? Yeah. Now we just need to find out where here is, right? Right. Did he say anything? I mean, before he left? [sighs] Uh, some⦠something about vines? [car approaching] Hopper. Surprise. I wouldāve called, but you said not to clog up the line. You know, I⦠Weāre fine, we donāt need anything. When I was sick as a kid, and I was sick all the time as a kid, nothing made me feel better than focusing on these brain teasers. Those are great. Ah⦠I could teach him how to play. You know, heās sleeping. [thunder rumbling] Okay. I could wait with you? [sighs] Listen, itās just not a good time. But, um, you know what? Iāll call you, okay? Thank you. You sure? Yeah. Well, have him call me. They donāt call me Bob the Brain for nothing. [chuckles] [gasps] Bob! Thatās my name. Huh. Hmm. You drew all these yourself? [Joyce] Mmm-hmm. Why, exactly? I⦠I told you the rules. No questions, okay? Yeah. We⦠we just need you to help us figure out what⦠Bob? Bob? Over here. Where⦠where this is. Thatās the objective. Find the X. Yeah? Whatās at the X? Pirate treasure? [chuckles] Bob, no questions. Okay. [sighs and clicks tongue] [Joyce clears throat] Let me talk to you for a second. Hang on, guys. Joyce, you can talk to me. You know that, right? [stammers] Yeah. Whatās the problem, exactly? Whatās the problem? Joyce, [sighs] Will doesnāt look well. You donāt look well. Whatās going on? Nothing. Nothing. Is this an episode? Is this one of Willās episodes? No. No! No. [scoffs] [stutters] Iām sorry. I just⦠I donāt⦠see how any of this is good for Will, or for you. And even if I wanted to play along, I mean, how could I figure anything out if I donāt understand the context of the game? [thunder rumbling] Or⦠What? What is it? I know that shape. Itās Loversā Lake. Itās Loversā Lake. I get it. Okay, I get. Thatās Lake Jordan. And if thatās Lake Jordan, then you can probably find⦠Yeah, thatās, uh, Sattlerās quarry. And if you just follow it naturally⦠it moves to⦠the Eno River. And there it is. Thatās the Eno, do you see it? Okay, so the lines arenāt roads. But they act like roads. And they act like roads ācause when you follow āem, youāll see⦠they donāt go over water. And thatās the giveaway. Thatās the giveaway. Ha! Donāt you get it? Itās not a puzzle, itās a map. Itās a map of Hawkins. [Bob laughs] Right, Will? [squealing] [radio static] [Hopper] Does anybody copy? Look, if anybody copies, this is Jim Hopper, Hawkinsā Chief⦠[radio static] [panting] [Hopper gasps] [breathing heavily] [screeching] [grunts] [screeching] [grunting] [continues grunting] Guys, this is Dustin again. Does anyone copy? This is a code red. I repeat, a code red! I really need someone to pick up here. Hopperās MIA, and Iāve got a code red. Code red! All right, itās Dustin again. Seriously, I have a code red. Could you please shut up? Erica? Erica, is Lucas there? Where is he? Donāt know. Donāt care. [stutters] Is he with Mike? Like I said, I donāt know and I donāt care. Please tell him itās super important. Please tell him that I have a code⦠Code red? Yep, code red. Exactly. Mmm-hmm. I got a code for you instead. Itās called code shut-your-mouth. [radio static] [stutters] Erica? [Becky] I just need a little help understanding, sweetie, okay? Can you tell me where you came from? Where youāve been all this time? [TV playing indistinctly] A policeman and a woman came looking for you last year. Did they find you? She wonāt get better⦠will she? They donāt think so, no. [sniffles] But sheās not in any pain. Sheās just stuck, they think. Like in a dream. A long dream. A good dream? I hope so. [Eleven sighs] Is it the same dream? [Becky] We donāt know. Sometimes she says different words. But usually those. [cries softly] She always believed that you were out there. She always believed that youād come home one day. Home? Yeah, home. [Eleven sniffles] [door creaking] Pretty. I can get you a real bed, and you can stay here with me if you want. Howās that sound? I wanna help you, but to really do that, I need you to talk to me, okay? Doesnāt have to be now. Doesnāt have to be today. But when youāre ready. Okay? Okay. [Becky] Oh, yeah, that. That happens sometimes. Old house, bad wiring⦠Or if you ask my crazy aunt Shirley, itās⦠haunted. Sweetie, really, itās just the wiring. No. [muttering indistinctly] Itās Mama. Sunflower. Rainbow. Three to the right. Four to the left. [stutters] I donāt understand. Four-fifty. She knows Iām here. [TV channels changing] She wants to talk. Rainbow. [static hissing] [Terry speaking indistinctly] [Bob] All right. All right. Iām 3.6 inches, what do you got? Iām not sure. Mrs. Byers? Hold on. Twenty-one feet, four inches. What about Tippecanoe to Danford Creek? [sighs and stammers] Danford? Whereās Danford? Dining room. [sighs] Sixteen feet, ten inches. What about Danford to Jordan? Oh, come on. [stuttering] This has gotta be enough. Itās not. Itās⦠itās really not. Okay. Canāt you figure it out? [stuttering] Well, itās hard. The ratio isnāt exactly one-to-one. I mean, if youāre twisting my arm, and you are twisting my arm, I would say that the X is⦠maybe a half mile southeast of Danford? [sighs] Thank you. Thank you. What? Are we⦠we really going? [Karen] I donāt know, Cath. Maybe if it was Margaret Thatcher, thatād be another story. [doorbell ringing] Just a second, Cath. Ted, can you get that please? Sorry. I got it. Your line has been busy for over two hours, Mr. Wheeler. Do you realize this? Oh, I do realize. Is Mike home? No. No? Well, where the hell is he? Karen, whereās our son? Willās! Willās. [sighs] No oneās picking up there. Nancy. What about Nancy? Karen, whereās Nancy? [sighs] Allyās! Allyās. Our children donāt live here anymore. You didnāt know that? Seriously? Am I done here? Son of a bitch. Youāre really no help at all, you know that? [Ted] Hey! Language. Listen⦠Iāve been thinking⦠I love you. Iām sorry. Iām sorry? What the hell am I sorry for? Steve. Are those for Mr. or Mrs. Wheeler? No. Good. Hey. What the hell? Hey! Nancy isnāt home. Where is she? Doesnāt matter. We have bigger problems than your love life. Do you still have that bat? Bat? What bat? The one with the nails? Why? Iāll explain it on the way. Now? Now! [grunting] [panting] [groaning] [coughing] [breathing heavily] [groans] Son of a bitch! [grunting] [yelling] Wait. Wait. No, no! No! No! [grunting] [yelling] [muffled screaming] [Lucas] And that was the last we ever saw of her. After that, she was just gone. I canāt believe itās been that long. Feels like yesterday. Yeah. I mean, I bet. Wow. Itās crazy. [sighs] I know. Itās crazy, but⦠I really liked it. Liked it? Yeah. Well, I mean, I had a few issues. Issues? I felt it was a little derivative in parts. What are you talking about? I just wish it had a little more originality. Thatās all. You donāt believe me? Lucas, come on, seriously? How gullible do you think I am? Why would I make this up? I donāt know. To impress me or something? Or youāre just, like, insane. I tell you all of this. I mean, top-secret stuff. Risking my life. And this is how you react? [chuckles] Risking your life? Oh, so this is funny to you? Yeah. I mean⦠kind of funny. Stupid, but funny. Where are you going? Story timeās over, isnāt it? [indistinct chatter] Whatās wrong with you? I gave you what you wanted. I wanted to be a part of the group, not a part of some joke. Itās not a joke. You did a good job, okay? You can go tell the others I believed your lies if it gets you experience points or whatever. [sighs] We have a lot of rules in our party, but the most important is, āFriends donāt lie.ā Never ever. No matter what. Is that right? Then how do you explain this? [sighs] I had to do that. To protect you. To protect me from who, exactly? The big bad government baddies from Hawkins Lab? Lower your voice. Maybe it was to protect me from the Demogorgon from another dimension? Max, Iām serious, shut up! Oh, no, no! You know what it was? It was Eleven. The girl⦠Stop talking. Youāre going to get us killed. Do you understand? Youāre serious? I really wish I wasnāt. Prove it. I canāt. So what? Iām supposed to just trust you? Yes. [car engine revving] [tires screeching] Shit. I gotta go. Um⦠Donāt follow me out. Okay? Do you believe me? [rock song playing on stereo] The hell I tell you? Iām not late. You know what Iām talking about. Oh, Lucas? [scoffs] So he has a name now, huh? [stammers] Itās a small town, okay? We werenāt hanging out. Hmm. Well, you know what happens when you lie. Iām not lying. [Owens on tape] What if they try to replicate that? The more attention we bring to ourselves, the more people like the Hollands who know the truth, the more likely that scenario becomes. You see why I have to stop the truth from spreading, too. Just the same as those weeds there. By whatever means necessary. [tape recorder clicks] So, is it enough? The tape recording, is it enough? [stutters] Is it incriminating? [liquid pouring] What are you doing? Thinking. With vodka? Itās a central nervous system depressant. So yes, with vodka. [Nancy] Music? Really? Yes. It helps me⦠[Jonathan] What? Think? [sighs heavily] [jazz song playing] How long is this gonna take? Longer if you keep talking. Is the tape incriminating or not? Itās a simple question. [laughs] Thereās nothing simple about it. Nothing simple about anything youāve told me. You donāt believe us, do you? I believe you, but thatās not the problem. You donāt need me to believe you. You need them to believe you. Them? Them. With a capital āT.ā Your priest, your postman, your teacher, the world at large. [scoffs] They wonāt believe any of this. Thatās why we made the tape. Oh. Thatās easy to bury. Easy. He admits it. You heard it. He admits culpability. Youāre being naive, Nancy! Those people⦠[chuckles] Theyāre not wired like me and you, okay? They donāt spend their lives trying to get a look at whatās behind the curtain. [chuckles] They like the curtain. It provides them stability, comfort, definition. This⦠this would open the curtain, and open the curtain behind that curtain, okay? So the minute someone with an ounce of authority calls bullshit, everyone will nod their heads and say, āSee? Ha! I knew it! It was bullshit.ā That is, if you even get their attention at all. Youāre saying we did all of this for nothing? Iām saying, Iām thinking. Ooh! [grunts] [Jonathan] This is ridiculous. Thatās it. Thatās it! Whatās it? Itās just too strong. Too strong. Better. Perfect. We water it down. Precisely. Wait. What? Your story. We moderate it. Just like this drink here. We make it more tolerable. Perhaps Barbara was exposed to some dangerous toxins. A leak from the lab. Like Three Mile Island or something. Something scary but familiar. Close enough that it hits the man right where it hurts. And those assholes that killed Barb⦠Theyāll go down. [takes deep breath] [Owens] All right, what are we looking at? [lab technician] This was some of the soil we took yesterday. Okay. So what is your concern? Well, we didnāt find any signs of contamination. Uh, nothing hazardous other than some pesticides. Well, itās a farm. Right, right. Exactly. But⦠Like this? Yes. [static hissing] Itās okay if I sit here, right? Yes. [stammers] And I wonāt mess it up or anything? No. Okay. If you talk to Terry, will you tell her that I love her very much? And that Iām sorry that I didnāt believe⦠Stop talking. Okay, sorry. Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow. Three to the right.
