Jim Hopper

You have a lot of nerve showing up here.

He runs Hawkins Lab.

Marissa! Hey, it's not gonna work out. Sorry I wasted your time. I'm a dick.

Brenner.

You see any rain on that tape?

I'm talking ten minutes, tops.

Patrick, would you do me a favor?

And he builds the space lasers?

You could have at least called, said,

No, this isn't hippie crap. This is CIA-sanctioned research.

[tape stops]

- Space lasers? - Ignore him.

[scoffs] You don't find that interesting?

But they're lying.

- Who's in charge here? - That'd be Dr. Brenner.

Uh, so, why don't you start with the Times,

What?

Okay.

Okay, we're looking for anything on the Hawkins National Laboratory.

[chuckles] You're asking the wrong guy.

Now, that piece of fabric that the teacher found by the pipe.

Every square inch covered, plus all my guys.

That sure looked like a hospital gown to me, huh?

Uh, yeah. We're here for a tour.

I don't know.
