Episode title: Chapter Seven: The Lost Sister
Original release date: October 27, 2017
Episode plot: Eleven travels to Chicago, Illinois, and finds the other girl from Terry’s memories, named Kali. Realizing they have similar tattoos and were both experimented on by Brenner, Eleven and Kali consider themselves sisters. Kali can project images into people’s minds and leads a street gang to seek revenge on Brenner. Eleven reveals that Brenner is dead, so the gang decide to kill the man who tortured Terry instead. Kali helps Eleven hone her abilities by demonstrating that channeling her anger is the key to strengthening her powers. After Eleven uses her powers to find the gang’s target, named Ray, the gang travel to Ray’s apartment to kill him. Eleven begins to choke Ray with her powers, leading him to claim that Brenner is still alive. Eleven refuses to kill Ray after seeing a photo of his two young daughters, who are discovered at that same moment to be contacting the police. Eleven stops Kali from killing Ray. The gang flee to their hideout, and Kali insists Eleven either stay and avenge her mother or return to Hawkins. Eleven has a vision of Mike and Hopper’s plight at the lab and decides to return while Kali and her gang escape from the police.

[Eleven] Mama? It’s me. Jane.
I’m home.
[Terry] No.

Breathe. Sunflower. Rainbow.
Three to the right. Four to the left.
[exhales]
Okay. You okay?
And it just kept repeating?
Repeat?
Like a circle? Just showing you the same image over and over?
She kept showing the girl in the room.
The rainbow room?
What did the girl look like?
Different.
Different than you?
I think this is why Mama wanted to talk.
To show you the girl?
I think she wants me to find her.
When Terry was looking for you, she kept these files of other missing kids.
Kids she thought were like you.
Maybe that girl is in here somewhere.
Here.
Does anyone look familiar?
Is that her?
[static crackling]
Did you find her?
[exhales] No.
[fire crackling]
Hello?
[gasps and pants]
Becky! Becky, I found her.
[Becky] I just…
I didn’t know who else to call.
He gave me this number, and he came here looking for her.
I thought maybe he could help me.
Yeah, Jim Hopper, he came here with some woman named Joyce Byers?
Well, that’s a little hard to explain.
Uh…
There’s another girl, and she’s missing, and I think she’s in trouble.
I just… I didn’t know who to call.
Thank you, thank you. And you are?
Florence…
[door opens] I’m gonna have to call you back.
Jane? Jane?
Jane?
Jane!
Jane!
Jane!
Four-fifty… Breathe. Sunflower…

[indistinct chatter and chuckling]
They’re dead. [laughing] They’re all dead!
They’re all dead! [laughing] They’re all dead!
[people speaking indistinctly]
[Dottie] You should do standup, Axe.
There’s a spot a few blocks away.
Hello?
Well, well…
What do we have here?
[Mick scoffs] What is she wearing?
What are those, overalls?
[Dottie] There aren’t any cows to milk here, kid.
Go on back to the farm now.
I’m looking for my sister.
Aw… Shirley Temple lost her sister.
So sad.
I saw her. Here.
Uh-uh. Hand out of pocket. Slow.
Give me that shit.
Is that Kali?
Kali?
How did you find us?
Who else knows you’re here?
No one.
So, what then? Poof! You just show up like magic with that picture?
Stay calm. She’s just a kid.
A kid who could get us all killed.
If I have to ask again, Shirley, you’ll start losing things.
Starting with those pretty little locks of yours. Yeah?
Come on, Axe. Put down the knife.
How did you find us?
I saw her.
[Mick] Axe!
That’s not an answer.
Jesus. Jesus Christ!
[exclaiming]
Get off! Shit! Shit!
[Kali] You’re a terrible dancer, Axel.
I told you, stay out of my head.
So, we’re threatening little girls now, are we?
She knows about you.
She had this.
Where did you get this?
Mama.
Your mother gave this to you?
In her dream circle.
[scoffs] Dream circle.
I think she’s a schizo or something.
Says she’s looking for her sister.
Yeah. Like I said, schizo.
Jesus!
I saw you.
In the rainbow room.
What is your name?
Jane.
Sister.
Sister.
[Kali] And this memory your mother shared… that is your only memory of me?
[Eleven] Yes.
[Kali] And how long have you been with this policeman?
[Eleven] Three hundred and twenty-seven days.
And this policeman, he thinks he can work out some sort of deal with these men to set you free?
Yes.
He says soon.
He’s naïve then.
We’ll always be monsters to them.
Do you understand?
Let me guess. Your policeman, he also stops you from using your gifts?
What you can do is incredible.
It makes you very special, Jane.
Wait.
Do you have a gift?
Different.
I can make people see, or not see, whatever I choose.
Is that why you made the man with the crazy hair dance?
Axel is not so fond of spiders, so…
You made him see spiders?
But it doesn’t have to be scary.
This butterfly, it isn’t real.
I’ve just convinced your mind it is.
Think of it as a kind of magic.
Are you real?
Yes, I’m real.
[both chuckle]
What’s wrong?
Nothing is wrong.
I just feel… whole… now.
Like… a piece of me was missing, and now it’s not.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
I think your mother sent you here for a reason.
I think she somehow knew that we belong together.
I think this is your home.
Home.
Yes. Home.
[man over radio] This is car 13, responding to a 245 at 31 Ashbury.
[man 2 over radio indistinctly]
…suspect under surveillance.
[clatters]
[Axel] Shit.
How’s your white hick sister?
You tuck her in real tight?
Yeah, what about a lullaby?
Did you sing her one?
♪ Old MacDonald had a farm ♪
[laughing] Yeah.
[all] ♪ EIEIO ♪
♪ And on his farm he had a cow ♪
She found me with only this.
What’s that mean?
It means she can find people without moving.
With nothing but an image.
You telling me Shirley’s a human radar detector or some shit?
Or some shit, yes.
Come on. No way.
We’ll find out soon enough.
I want to do one. Tomorrow.
You serious, Kal?
We’re way too hot right now.
[singsong] Paranoid.
Realistic. You don’t kill their men and expect them to look the other way.
If they find us, they will unleash hell.
So we give in to fear?
She’s in pain. She needs this.
We go out tomorrow.
Swear to God, Shirley Temple’s gonna get us all killed.
[Hopper] It’s me.
I know that I’ve been gone too long, and, uh…
I just want you to know that it’s not because of you.
And it’s not because of our fight.
Something came up, and, uh, I’ll explain everything soon.
I just, um…
I want you to know that I’m not…
I’m not mad at you. I…
I’m just sorry.
It’s okay. It’s only me.
Bad dream?
What time is it?
It’s late.
You slept well. Come.
It’s time you meet my friends.
Properly this time.
We need more money, Kal.
I can’t keep eating this garbage.
This is Axel.
The spider hater?
Yes, the spider hater.
This is Dottie, our newest.
Like you, she just left home.
[Axel] You mean the loony bin.
[Kali] Mick, our eyes, our protector.
This is Funshine, our warrior.
Don’t let his size frighten you.
Fun’s a teddy bear.
Nice to meet you, Miss Jane.
If you’re looking for a number, you won’t find one.
They’re not like us.
No, not in that way.
But like us, they’re outcasts.
Outcasts?
Freaks.
Speak for yourself.
Society left them behind, hurt them, discarded them.
We were dead, all of us.
Kali saved us. Here. And here.
Don’t get all mushy on us now, Fun.
No, not mushy. True.
Now we help her.
In this life, kid, you roll over or you fight back.
We’re all fighters here.
Fight who?
Everyone you see here was in some way responsible for what happened to us.
You hurt the bad men?
No, we just give ’em a pat on the back.
You kill them?
They’re criminals.
We simply make them pay for their crimes.
Boom.
Damn, Shirley. What’s the matter?
You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
We can’t all be fighters, I guess.
I’m a fighter. I’ve killed.
These men you killed, did they deserve it?
They hurt me.
[screaming] And they still want to hurt you.
To hurt us.
We’re just making the first move.
Come.
I was just like you once.
I kept my anger inside.
I tried to hide from it, but then that pain festered.
Festered?
It spread.
Until finally I confronted my pain, and I began to heal.
Do you see that train?
Yes.
I want you to draw it to us.
[metal creaking]
[Eleven] I can’t.
Last night you told me you lifted a van once.
Yes.
The bad men were trying to take you again, and that made you angry.
Good. So, find that anger, focus on that, not the train, not its weight.
I want you to find something from your life.
Something that angers you.
[Max laughs]
Now channel it.
Dig deeper.
Your whole life you’ve been lied to…
Do I have a mother?
She’s not around anymore.
…imprisoned.
Don’t walk away from me!
Grow the hell up!
[screaming]
The bad men took away your home, your mother…
Jane.
[screaming] They took everything from you.
Papa!
They stole your life, Jane.
I want you to find them.
[screaming]
[Mick whoops] Yeah!
[all cheering]
Yeah, Jane!
So, how do you feel?
Good.
These are the bad men, as you call them.
The one’s we believe are still alive.
Do you know any?
Him.
[Dr. Brenner] Four-fifty…
He hurt Mama.
His name is Ray Caroll.
And he did more than hurt your mother.
[electricity crackles]
The bad men like Ray, they know about us.
It’s made them hard to track.
But maybe not anymore.
[static crackling]
“Gramercy Apartments.
Washington and Bethel.”
That’s gotta be it. Right?
“Lilburn.” Where is that?
About an hour east.
We don’t even have a new ride.
So we swap plates.
We have plates, right?
Yeah.
It’s risky.
Where’s the fun if there’s no risk?
We want to give my sister a memorable first day, right?
I’m in. For Miss Jane.
Yeah, sure. Why not? Mick?
Screw it!
[“Dead End Justice” playing]
[gun cocks]
Bitchin’.
Bitchin’.
[“Dead End Justice” continues playing]
[man] Get off me! Get off me!
[“Dead End Justice” continues playing]
What are we doing?
Stocking up.
Hey, your bathroom is leaking.
[man] Oh, shit.
Yes.
Shit.
Okay, contestants, you have a minute and a half, let’s begin your supermarket sweep!
[“Dead End Justice” continues playing]
Hey! Put that back, or I’ll blow your head off.
You hear me, freak?
Put the gun down.
Stay back. Stay back.
Darrel, your money is insured.
We’re only stealing from the war criminal billionaires who own this place.
You won’t even lose a dime.
I said stay back.
We’re on the same side.
I promise.
Stay back.
[screams]
[grunts]
Damn, Shirley.
[police sirens wailing] Let’s go! Go! Go, go, go, go!
Mick! We gotta go, Mick!
We should case the place, stick to the routine. We have time.
We also have her. Can you look?
He’s watching television.
Is he alone?
I saw him. No one else.
Good enough for me.
Me, too.
Let’s do this.
Keep it running.
Meet you around back.
[screams]
[audience laughing]
Punky, what’s the matter?
A nightmare.
I dreamt I was in the doctor’s office.
All of a sudden, he’s started to give me my shot in my arm.
Then the needle got bigger and bigger and bigger…
[knob clicking]
[Kali] Hello, Ray.
Jesus Christ!
[Funshine] Sit down. Please.
I said sit.
Please…
Just, please… just take what you want.
[Axel] Oh, we will.
Where’s your wallet?
Bedroom. My bedroom. My jeans.
Come on.
[Dottie] Yes.
[Axel] Got it.
Do you remember us?
What about us?
Do you remember us, Ray?
[grunting]
Please. Please.
You hurt Mama.
[exclaims]
[grunts] [groans] Wait.
[shakily] Please. Listen…
I just did what he told me to do.
He said she was sick.
You had a choice, Ray.
And you chose to follow a man you knew was evil.
No, wait! No, wait! Wait!
I can help. I can help you find him.
Find who?
Brenner!
I can take you to him.
Papa is gone.
No, he is alive.
Do not lie to us, Ray.
I’m not lying!
[softly] I swear… [whimpering]
He trusts me.
I’ll take you to him.
If he’s alive, Jane will find him.
Just as she found you.
Do it, Jane.
Do it.
Wait.
[choking]
Not too quick.
He wasn’t so generous with your mother.
[woman over phone]
Sweetie, just stay calm.
[Axel] Oh, shit!
The police are on their way, honey. Okay?
[gasping, coughing]
What’s wrong?
What’s wrong?
We got a problem.
[Dottie] Kids in the apartment.
[Ray] Please…
Did he show your mother mercy? No.
[Ray] Please. No.
I’m sorry.
He took her from you, without hesitation.
Please don’t. Please.
[Axel] We got to go, K.
They called the cops.
We finish this first.
[Axel] Kali!
Jane, now!
[Ray] Please, don’t…
Please. Please.
[gun cocks]
[exclaims]
[gasps]
[glass shatters]
[police sirens wailing]
[Axel] Kali, we gotta go!
[Dottie] Shit!
[Axel] Go, go, go!
[Dottie] Shit!
Come on. Get in!
If you wanted to show mercy, that is your choice.
But don’t you ever take away mine. Ever.
Do you understand? Do you understand?
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Funshine] I see you, and I raise you ten.
How ya like that?
That was a mistake right there, girl.
A mistake.
[Dottie] I think you’re full of shit.
[knocking on door]
May I sit?
I was once just like you, you know that?
But that’s why I’m hard on you, because I see in you my past mistakes.
They were kids.
Does that excuse that man’s sins?
Were we not also children?
I remember the day I came to the rainbow room and you were gone.
So, when my gifts were strong enough, I used them to escape.
And I ran.
I ran away as far as I could.
And it was there, far away, that I found a place to hide.
A family.
A home.
Just like you and your policeman.
But they couldn’t help me.
So, eventually, I lost them, too.
So, I decided to play the part.
To stop hiding.
To use my gifts against those who hurt us.
You’re now faced with the same choice, Jane.
Go back into hiding and hope they don’t find you.
Fight, and face them again.
Face who?
The man who calls himself our father.
Papa is dead.
[Dr. Brenner] That man tonight disagreed.
You’re not real.
All this time?
And you haven’t looked for me?
Why?
Because you thought I was dead?
Or because you were afraid of what you might find?
Go away.
You have to confront your pain.
You have a wound, Eleven, a terrible wound.
And it’s festering.
Do you remember what that means? Festering?
It means a rot.
And it will grow.
[echoing] Spread.
Get out of my head.
And eventually, it will kill you.
[screaming] Get out of my head!
[crying]
This isn’t a prison, Jane.
You’re always free to return to your policeman.
Or stay, and avenge your mother.
Let us heal our wounds together.
[laughs] Full house.
Screw this. I’m out.
Out of money, you mean. You are broke!
[laughing]
You want in, Mick?
[scoffs] Nope.
Aw, come on! Just one hand.
You’re the worst.
[Dottie] How am I the worst?
Because, one hand leads to two hands, two hands leads to three.
Before you know it, I’m as broke as Axel.
[Dottie] Are you in or out?
[Mick] Out.
Today, tomorrow, the next day.
Maybe we can call you “El.”
Short for Eleven.
You’d better run!
She’s our friend, and she’s crazy!
[Mike] No, El, you’re not the monster.
You saved me, you understand?
You saved me.
[Eleven] Compromise?
[Hopper] It’s something that’s kind of in between. Like halfway happy.
Once we fix it up, it’s gonna be nice. Real nice.
This is your new home.
[grunts]
[beeping]
[echoing] That’s where I was.
It’s a damn graveyard.
I need to get through!
I need to get through!
[Hopper] Whoa! Whoa!
I need to warn them. It’s a trap!
I need to get through. It’s a trap.
I need to tell them it’s a trap.
[Eleven] Mike!
It’s a trap! It’s a trap!
Mike!
Mike! Mike!
Mike! Mike, where are you?
Mike! Mike!
[loud banging]
[officer] Go, go, go!
Let’s go.
[officer] Don’t move!
[Axel] The hell’s going on?
They found us!
Jesus! Jesus Christ!
No, no, no.
Shh…
[officer 1] Spread left.
[officer 2] Right.
[Funshine] Let’s go! Now!
Hey! Hey!
Jane, come on!
Come on, hurry!
Look out! Look out!
[screaming]
[officer] Get down! Get down!
[Axel] Do something, Kal.
Do something!
Jane, get in.
It’s a damn graveyard.
Mike!
It’s a trap! It’s a trap!
I’m sorry. I’m sorry, but I have to go back.
My friends… My friends are in danger.
This isn’t time for a talk.
We got to go right now!
Your mother sent you here for a reason, remember?
We belong together.
There’s nothing for you back there.
They cannot save you, Jane.
No.
But I can save them.
Jane. Jane!
Jane!
Jane!
The hell was that? What’s wrong with her?
[woman] You all right, sweetie?
You were looking a little forlorn there.
You mind if I join you?
Hmm.
[sighs] You are awfully young to be traveling alone, aren’t you?
Well, you are quite the chatterbox.
So, where are you headed?
To your parents, I hope?
I’m going to my friends.
I’m going home.
[new wave song playing]
