Chapter Five: Dig Dug

Hey, you reached Jim.

I'm probably doing something incredible right now, and I can't--

It's like... It's like I feel what the shadow monster's feeling.

See what he's seeing.

Like in the Upside Down?

Some of him is there.

But some of him is here, too.

-Here, like, in this house? -In this house and...

in me.

It's like... It's like he's reaching into Hawkins more and more.

And the more he spreads, the more connected to him I feel.

And the more you see these now-memories.

At first I just felt it in the back of my head.

I didn't even really know it was there.

It's like when you have a dream

and you can't remember it unless you think really hard.

It was like that.

But know it's like...

Now I remember. I remember all the time.

Maybe...

-Maybe that's good. -Good?

Just think about it, Will.

You're like a spy now. A superspy.

Spying on the shadow monster.

If you know what he's seeing and feeling...

maybe that's how we can stop him.

Maybe all of this is happening for a reason.

-You really think so? -Yeah. Yeah, I really do.

What if he figures out we're spying on him?

- What if he spies back? -He won't.

How do you know?

We won't let him.

Ugh!

- -

Ugh!

- Hey. - Hey. Did you get 'em?

Yeah.

We'd like a... uh, a room.

We got those.

You want a single or a double?

Double.

Nance...

-Uh, on or off? -Hmm.

-What? -Nothing. Just...

déjà vu.

-Yeah. -

Don't you think it's weird?

What?

How we only seem to hang out when the world's about to end?

It's not going to end.

Feels like it.

Still have yours?

- Yeah. -Mmm...

-Yeah, mine's bigger. -

-Congratulations. -Thanks.

What happened?

What do you mean?

To us?

After everything, you just...

disappeared.

Yeah, Will needed me.

And Steve...

I waited.

Yeah, like, only a month.

I want them off.

Will, what's wrong?

Mom?

Mom?

-Mom? - Yeah?

-I saw him. -You saw who, baby?

Hopper.

I think he's in trouble.

I think he's going to die.

Shit!

-That's enough, Erica. -Uh-uh.

-Dad? -Mmm-hmm?

When Mom's mad at you, how do you make her not mad?

Hmm. That's a great question. How do you, hon?

First, I apologize.

Then, I get your mother whatever she wants.

Even when she's wrong?

She's never wrong, son.

That's right.

-Not hungry? - Not really.

Where you goin'?

To hang out with Dustin.

Sorry.

Mews!

Mewsy!

Mews!

Mewsy!

Dusty, baby, you're sure she's not in your room?

- -Uh-huh.

If you'd like to make a call...

Thank you so much, Mr. McCorkle. Thank you so much.

You are a true lifesaver.

-All right, this was great. -

Thank you. All right. Have a good one.

Bye-bye, now. All right. You, too.

All right, great news.

They found her?

No. But they saw her wandering around Loch Nora.

How did the poor baby get all the way out there?

I don't know. Lost, I guess. But they're gonna look for her.

And I'll stay here, just in case they call again.

And you're gonna go help look? Yeah? Yeah?

Give me hug. Give me a hug. Go get her.

-You're gonna find her. -Okay.

-We can find her. -We can find her.

I love you.

-I love you. -I love you.

-I love you. -All right, go.

All right.

All right, Dart. Breakfast time.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

Come on. Come on, I know you're hungry.

-Yes. Yes, yes, yes. -

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Shit!

- -

-I'm sorry. You ate my cat. -

- - All right. I think this is it.

-Five-one-five Larrabee, right? -

Yes.

Five-fifteen.

All right, "Five-fifteen." Sure.

Thank you.

Hey.

You apologize to your mama, yeah? Huh?

Must be scared half to death.

How long's it been?

Long time.

Go away! I'm not interested!

Look, I don't want your Thin Mints, all right, kid?

-Thin Mints? -Or your religious mumbo jumbo.

Whatever you're selling, I ain't buying, okay?

I want to see Mama.

Name a way you occupy your time when you're having a boring day at work.

- Drink coffee. - "Drink coffee," said Mike.

- -Yeah! Five answers will beat it, Lynn.

Visit with other employees.

- "Visit with other employees." -Rainbow.

- -

-Three to the right. Four to the left. -Mama?

Breathe. Sunflower.

Rainbow.

-Three to the right. Four to the left. -Mama, can you hear me?

Four-fifty. Breathe.

Sunflower.

Rainbow.

Mama? It's me...

Jane.

I'm here now.

Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow. Four-fifty.

Breathe. Sunflower.

-What's wrong with Mama? -Rainbow.

-Four-fifty. -

Are you positive this is the right place?

"3833." Yeah.

All right.

Look at the camera.

-The camera. - What camera?

Not the loudspeaker. Above you, to the right.
