Stranger Things

Nancy!

Nancy!

Come on, come on.

Nancy!

Where are you?

Jonathan! Jonathan!

Jonathan!

Jonathan, I'm right here!

Nancy!

Nancy!

Jonathan, where are you?

Jonathan!

Jonathan!

Jonathan, I'm right... I'm right here!

- Where are you? -

-I'm right here! - Jonathan!

I'm right here! Nancy!

-Just follow my voice! - Jonathan!

Follow my voice, Nancy, I'm right here!

Nancy!

- -

Nancy!

- -

Nancy?

Nancy.

Nancy! Follow my voice!

Nancy?

- Jonathan! -Nancy!

- -

I got you.

I just don't understand why we're coming out here.

-She obviously doesn't wanna talk to you. -That's... that's not it.

Oh, really? Because no girl would ever blow off King Steve.

She was acting weird. I mean, something was wrong.

So what? Like, you're worried about her?

-What? -Aw, you are.

-Aw, Steve has a heart. -Would you just-- Stop.

-Oh, Stevey's in love. -Would you just shut up?

-Who knew? -Shut up!

Jeez.

- Damn. Sorry. -

So this is it, huh? Princess' castle.

I'll just be a minute.

Look, we gotta go through this again.

-I told you everything that I saw. -Oh, gosh. Tell me again.

-Upstairs or downstairs? -Upstairs.

There was a laboratory.

It was where they must do experiments or something, and then there was...

There was this kid's room.

-How do you know it was a kid's room? -More like a prison.

So why would you think it was a kid's room, then?

Because, I told you,

the size of the bed, there was a drawing, there was a stuffed animal--

You didn't say there was a drawing.

Yeah, there was a drawing of a... an adult and a child.

-It said "Eleven" on it. -Was it good?

It was a kid's drawing, Joyce. It was stick figures.

Wasn't Will.

Earl...

The night that Benny died,

Earl said he saw some kid with a shaved head with Benny.

Now, I pressed him, he said it might be Will, but maybe...

Wait... Maybe, it wasn't?

Look... this woman, Terry Ives,

she claims to have lost her daughter, Jane.

She sued Brenner, she sued the government...

Now, the claims came to nothing, but what if...

I mean, what if this whole time I've been...

I've been looking for Will...

I've been chasing after some other kid?

- -

- -

Nancy!

Better?

Yeah.

Is this okay? Uh, I found it in the closet.

I can go home. I just figured--

Yeah, no. I...

-I don't wanna be alone. -

-Do you? -No. Uh... no.

Can you just come up here?

Yeah.

-Do you want the lights off, or-- - On.

Yeah.

You know, it...

it can't get us in here.

We don't know that.

Uh, yeah, it's Ives. Terry Ives. That's with a "Y."

Yeah, I got a pen. Hang on.

Mmm-hmm.

Mmm-hmm.

Great, thanks. I really appreciate this, Frank.

Say hi to the boys for me, too, would you?

Did you get it?

-I got it. -Okay.

Oh...

Hey.

Hey.

Couldn't sleep?

Every time I close my eyes, I just...

keep seeing that... thing.

Wherever I was, that place...

I think that it lives there.

It was feeding there.

Feeding on that deer.

That means that if...

if Will and Barbara...

Hey.

My mom said she talked to Will.

If he's alive, there's a chance Barbara is, too.

That means that she's trapped...

in that place.

We have to find it again.

You wanna go back out there?

Maybe we don't have to.

When I saw it, it was feeding on that deer.

-Meaning it's... it's a predator, right? -Right.

And it seems to hunt at night, like a... a lion or a coyote.

But it doesn't hunt in packs like them.

It's always alone, like...

like a bear.

And remember at Steve's, when Barb cut herself?

-And then, last night, the deer... -Hmm, it was bleeding, too.

One sec.

Sharks can detect blood in one part per million.

That's one drop of blood in a million,

and they can smell it from a quarter mile away.

So you're saying it can detect blood?

It's just a theory.

We could test it.

But if it works...

At least we'll know it's coming.

- -

- - Honey, are you up?

Yeah, I'm... I'm getting dressed.

I, uh, made some blueberry pancakes.

I'll be down in a second.

- -

- -Your mom doesn't knock?

-Hi. Scott Clarke? -Uh, yes.

The same Scott Clarke who teaches science and AV

-at Hawkins Middle? -The very same.

Oh, wonderful.

...and we're making a newsletter, which we'll send out monthly.

It'll showcase all the latest equipment,

as well as how-to articles, which the kids write themselves.

Oh, that's neat.

What we're really trying to do here, Mr. Clarke--

Uh, please, call me Scott.

Scott.

What we're trying to do here, Scott, is to connect kids from all over the state

and give them the support and encouragement

to pursue careers in technology.

We feel these are the kinds of kids that are going to make Indiana proud.

I agree, yes. Completely.

So, you know any kids you think might wanna participate?

Oh, I have a few in mind.

I just... I can't believe she didn't come back.

- She's gotta be close. -She said it wasn't safe.

She just messed up the compasses because she wanted to protect us.

-She didn't betray us. -Mike, calm down.

I shouldn't have yelled at her. I never should've done that.

-Mike, this isn't your fault. -Yeah, it's Lucas'.

It wasn't his fault, either.

-It wasn't his fault? -No.

So you're saying he wasn't way out of line?

-Totally, but so were you! -What?

-And so was Eleven. -Oh, give me a break!

No, Mike, you give me a break!

All three of you were being a bunch of little assholes!

I was the only reasonable one.

But the bottom line is... you pushed first.

And you know the rule. You draw first blood...

No! No way! I'm not shaking his hand.

-You're shaking his hand! -No, I'm not.

This isn't a discussion. This is the rule of law.

Obey or be banished from the party. Do you wanna be banished?

-No. -Good.

Where are we going?

Where do you think? We're going to get Lucas.

And then we're gonna find Eleven.

Today is a very special day.

Do you know why?

Because today, we make history.

Today, we make contact.

Here you go.

Ah... yum.

Okay. Now, sweetie, swallow the pancake.

Where is Nancy? I thought she was coming down.
