Dart appears from the tunnel hole and stares at the humans behind the safety glass.

Tech: Mother of God.

Hopper: Yeah wanna talk shit about the kid now we gotta go.

Tech: It's... it's polycarbonate. It can't get through.

That's what they thought as more rise from the tunnel.

Owens: Mother Mary and Joseph.

As more rise from the hole Dart bashes against the wall scaring the tech as it cracks.

Hopper: You sure about that glass?

Owens punches a button sounding the alarm throughout the lab.

In Will's room Jiyce still questions Will, Mike trying to get past the guards and Bob and El in shock as the alarm sounds.

Bob: What the hell?

Eleven: We're too late.

Joyce: What?

Mike: We're too late!

Bob: What's going on?

Eleven: We're under attack.

MP: What's going on down there? Does anybody copy?

[IN THE BASEMENT]

The lab folks run out of the basement evacuation the area in hopes of escaping as they reach the elevator doors that slowly open.

Owens: Stairs! Stairs!

Owens pulls Hopper to the stairway and run up the stairs as the dog's break through and runs through basement lab trapping a few in the elevator.

Realizing how Will is a spy for the monster El grabs a syringe.

Eleven: We need to make Will sleep.

Joyce: What?

Eleven: He's a spy. If he knows where we are,

Mike: So does the shadow monster.

Will: They're lying!

Mike: He killed those soldiers. He'll kill us, too!

Will: He's lying! He's lying! He's lying! He's lying! He's lying!

Will trashes around trying to leave but Joyce holds him down, she understands what El and Mike mean but it's her son, last year and a few days ago she'd do anything to protect her son but now is different.

As Hopper and Owens make their way to Will and the other, Dart and the other monsters do as well, destroying and killing anything in their path as guard shit at then but they are basically impenetrable.

Mike: Shit!

Bob: Those are gunshots!

Will: He's lying! He's lying!

Joyce: Okay, Will, Will, listen, listen. Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am?

Joyce holds her sons arms down asking him hoping he'll answer to her way see fit.

Will: You're... You're... You're Mom.

Joyce closes her eyes as a tear escapes one eye.

Joyce:*to Bob* Hold him down.

Will: No! No! Let go! No! No!
Let me go! Let go!  No, let me go!

Bob holds Will down as Joyce takes the syringe from Eleven.
