Stranger Things Season 1

Chapter 8: The Upside Down

[insects chirping] [Joyce yelling] Let me out of here! Somebody, please! [grunts] Let me out! [door unlocking] [Joyce breathing heavily] [Dr.

Brenner] Your son.

We know you've been in contact with him.

- [stammering] You have to let me - When and how did you make contact with him? - What? - Hmm? Six.

What? Six.

Six people have been taken this week.

This thing that took your son [softly] we don't really understand it.

But its behavior is predictable.

Like all animals it eats.

It will take more sons.

More daughters.

I want to save them.

I want to save your son.

But I can't do that.

Not without your help.

Stop.

I know who you are.

I know what you've done.

You took my boy away from me! You left him in that place to die! You faked his death! We had a funeral.

We buried him.

And now you're asking for my help? Go to hell.

- [electricity crackling] - [groaning] - [breathing heavily] - Okay, now what do you know? I'm sorry.

Did I stutter? I told you.

Everything.

[electricity crackling] What do you know? [panting] I know you do experiments on kidnapped little kids, whose parents' brains you've turned to mush.

And I know you went a little too far this time and you messed up in a big way.

I mean, you really messed up, didn't you? Big time.

That's why you're trying to cover your tracks.

You killed Benny Hammond, you faked Will Byers' death.

You made it look like that little girl just ran away.

See, I told you.

- I know everything.

- All right, who are you working with? Nobody.

But I did give all this over to my friend at the Times.

He's gonna blow this thing wide open.

[chuckles] - [electricity crackling] - [groans] [grunting] You're just a junkie.

A small town cop who had a really bad week.

Took one too many pills this time.

You made a mistake coming back here.

No, I didn't.

Here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna let me and Joyce Byers go you're gonna give us anything we need, and we're gonna find her son.

And then we're gonna forget that any of this ever happened.

Oh, is that right? Yeah.

That's right.

Nancy? Jonathan? [door closes] - They're gone.

- What? Nancy and Jonathan.

His car's gone.
