Stranger THINGS / season ONE
VOLUME ONE.

INT. NANCY'S ROOM - NIGHT

Nancy is sitting at her desk, flipping through an old journal. The room is quiet, the hum of a distant car outside the only sound. The phone RINGS. She glances at it, confused, before answering.

NANCY
(Into phone) Hello?

ROSEMARY (V.O.)
Nancy? Hey, it's... it's Rosemary. I know we don't talk much anymore but...

NANCY
Rosemary? What's going on? It's late.

ROSEMARY (V.O.)
(Slight hesitation) I don't even know how to say this, but... you need to hear it from someone who knows you both.

NANCY
(Sitting up straighter, voice tight) What? What are you talking about? Is everything okay?

ROSEMARY (V.O.)
(Voice trembling) It's Hana.

Nancy freezes, her face suddenly pale. Her hand tightens around the phone.

NANCY
(Almost whispering) Hana? (pause) Rosemary, don't... don't do this. Don't say her name like that. It's been almost a year. She's gone.

ROSEMARY (V.O.)
No, she's not. That's what I thought too. Nancy, they found her. She's at the hospital. She's... alive.

Nancy's breath catches in her throat.

NANCY
(Stunned, voice shaking) What are you saying? That's not possible.

ROSEMARY (V.O.)
I'm telling you the truth! I saw her with my own eyes, Nancy. She's... she's different, but she's alive. She's been through hell, but it's her.

There's a long pause as Nancy's mind races, memories of Hana flashing in her eyes. She looks around, almost as if expecting Hana to walk in.

ROSEMARY (V.O.)
(Softly) You need to come, Nancy. You need to see her yourself. She needs us.

NANCY
(Whispers) I'm coming...

Nancy hangs up without another word and rushes out of the room.
