He's not leaving any room for argument, not with this. If he didn't think Steve might start spouting some shit about demogorgons and secret labs, Hopper would take him straight to the hospital, but he doesn't completely trust this place, even after all this time. The wrong doctor hears something like that and Harrington ends up with his ass in some padded room for the rest of his life, just like Eleven had been stuck in, or his brain dribbling out his ears after some botched electroshock therapy, just like Terry.

"Stopped who?" he asks when they round a corner and his building comes into view.
