Get him out.

Go! Go! God! Hold on, sweetie! I'm right here.

Just hold on.

- Vitals? - Heart rate 220.

Temperature's 106.

Will, where does it hurt? All over.

She says he feels like he's burning.

Check for burns.

I don't see anything.

- Where does it hurt the most, Will? - Everywhere! Everywhere! Wait a sec.

How big? First it was like that.

Now he's like this.

I swear to God, man, it's just some little lizard, okay? - It's not a lizard.

- How do you know? How do I know if it's not? How do you know it's not just a lizard? Because his face opened up and he ate my cat.

I don't hear shit.

He's in there.

All right, listen, kid.

I swear, if this is some sort of Halloween prank, - you're dead.

- It's not.

- All right? - It's not a prank.

Get it out of my face.

You got a key for this thing? Let me see that.

He must be further down there.

I'll stay up here in case he tries to escape.

Steve? Steve, what's going on down there? Get down here.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit! No way.

No way.

That thing, it it did something to him.

Okay.

And these now-memories, as you call them, how long has he been experiencing them? I told you, since Thursday.

Since I found him in the field.

And why wasn't he brought in? I have been bringing him in, and what have you done? Nothing.

Nothing! These are new symptoms, Joyce.

No.

No, he has been telling you over and over that something's wrong, and you said it was all in his head.

You said, "Be patient.

" Those were your words.

I understand that you're upset, okay? I get it.

I would be, too, if I were in your shoes.

But we are all in the same boat here, - and I just need you to try - Wait? Stay calm? Trust you? No, I want him transferred to a real hospital.

Well, you know that's not possible.

He really will get the best treatment here, Mrs.

Byers.

The very best.

And what are you treating him for, exactly? Can anyone tell me what's wrong with him? Can a single person in this room tell me what is wrong with my boy? What is wrong with my boy? You see why I have to stop the truth from spreading, too.

Just the same as those weeds there.

By whatever means necessary.

Whoo-hoo! - To taking down the man.
