Murray disguised as Yuri made Joyce and Yuri (real one) prisoners and took them to the prison in order to trick the Russians and help Hopper escape the prison. While in Nome, Alaska, Yuri drugged Joyce and Murray and decided to hand them over to the Russians in order to gain their trust and favor, but fortunately, Joyce and Murray captured Yuri during the flight to Kamchatka. However, Yuri got greedy and snitched upon Enzo and Hopper, after which they were brutally thrashed, arrested and constantly watched. He made a deal with Jim Hopper that he would help him escape the prison in exchange for forty thousand dollars, which his girlfriend (as he believed) Joyce would have to hand over to a smuggler named Yuri Ismaylov, who would bring Hopper from Kamchatka to Nome, Alaska after the money had been deposited. There he met a corrupt prison guard named Enzo, who was fed up with his mundane, low-paying job and wanted extra bucks. Though Season 4 didn’t build much on this mystery and quickly established that Hopper was captured by the Russians after the blast, who took him to a secure prison in Kamchatka. However, Joyce never saw Hopper’s body, nor was it recovered by the American soldiers, and thus we all had our doubts. In the previous season, when Joyce triggered the Russian machine to close the gate to the other dimension, Hopper was standing near the machine, and everyone believed that he had died in the blast. Were Joyce And Murray Able To Rescue Hopper?Īfter Joyce was sent a mysterious note hidden inside a doll that came from Russia, she quickly contacted her Russian translator-cum-friend, Murray Bauman, who instantly arrived in Lenora Hills, California, to help Joyce clear her doubts about Hopper’s survival.
