Grass, crops, trees. Everything in this area is either dead or dying, and that's a radius of over three miles. And it all leads back to here. [Taps a map showing Hawkins Lab]

No, it's not a joke. I just, I don't understand what this has to do with me, Chief Hopper.
Whatever is happening, is spreading from this place, from this lab.
That's impossible. It's... the last burn, it was two days ago. It's contained.
What if there's a leak?
A leak? A leak? [Chuckles, shakes his head] No, no, it...
I don't know, man, you're the scientist!
Exactly. And I'm tellin' ya, there's nothing to worry about.
Convince me.
Convince you?
[Stands up angrily] Yeah. You and your egghead friends go out to every area on this map, and you run your tests, or whatever the hell it is you do, and you see if anything comes up.
[Smirks] All right, so... so you're giving me orders, now? No.
