WEBVTT

00:26.355 --> 00:27.688
Run!

00:35.021 --> 00:38.105
I looked back! Why did I look back?

00:46.688 --> 00:48.771
There! Come on, hurry!

00:52.271 --> 00:56.605
<i>I know I'm artificial</i>
<i>But don't put the blame on me </i>

00:56.688 --> 00:59.105
Come on! Let's go!

00:59.188 --> 01:04.271
<i>I was reared with appliances</i>
<i>In a consumer society </i>

01:05.271 --> 01:08.438
Hang on! That ought to hold him for….

01:09.271 --> 01:12.563
not long! Go, go, go!

01:12.646 --> 01:14.688
Wait. We have to go back.

01:14.771 --> 01:17.438
Did he say "wait"?
You did not just say "wait."

01:17.521 --> 01:18.938
Charlie's still inside.

01:19.021 --> 01:21.855
Oh no. All right, we gotta go get him.

01:21.938 --> 01:25.105
He's all the way back
on the other side of the school.

01:25.188 --> 01:27.396
We just can't leave him
in there with this thing.

01:27.480 --> 01:28.355
Can't we?

01:31.146 --> 01:34.355
Fine. I was kidding… sorta.

01:36.355 --> 01:37.521
Come on! This way!

02:23.438 --> 02:26.396
<i>…mountains</i>
<i>under a winter weather advisory.</i>

02:26.480 --> 02:29.355
<i>Whiteout conditions are also expected</i>
<i>throughout the day,</i>

02:29.438 --> 02:33.271
<i>so definitely be careful on the roadways,</i>
<i>especially in higher terrain.</i>

02:33.355 --> 02:36.480
Mike, come in. Do you read me? Over?

02:37.188 --> 02:39.396
<i>A state of emergency has been declared</i>

02:39.480 --> 02:42.146
<i>as authorities continue</i>
<i>to track the storm--</i>

02:48.855 --> 02:50.563
I will find you, Mike.

03:06.355 --> 03:07.396
Mike?

03:25.646 --> 03:27.813
Mike?

03:30.646 --> 03:31.688
What is wrong?

03:32.563 --> 03:33.980
Why are you hiding?

03:43.688 --> 03:45.355
Mike!

03:48.480 --> 03:49.313
Mike!

04:28.605 --> 04:30.146
Should we go after him?

04:31.188 --> 04:32.230
Eh…

04:35.480 --> 04:38.313
Lucas and Max reporting in. Over.

04:40.521 --> 04:43.938
Anyone out there?
We've got a creature attack incoming.

04:44.021 --> 04:46.230
This is a code red. Over.

04:47.688 --> 04:49.480
Shoot! Nothing but static.

04:49.563 --> 04:52.063
And not exactly clear skies.

04:52.146 --> 04:54.396
Probably need to find higher ground
to boost the signal.

04:54.480 --> 04:57.396
Yeah. But where do we…

05:07.646 --> 05:09.063
Stupid vest!

05:09.146 --> 05:11.313
Stupid storm, stupid <i>She-Ra,</i>

05:11.396 --> 05:14.188
and stupid me.
Trying to pedal in the middle of this.

05:14.271 --> 05:15.688
Whoa! Whoa!

05:17.146 --> 05:19.105
Oh, great!

05:24.730 --> 05:27.063
Hey! Hey! Hey!

05:27.146 --> 05:28.813
Whoa! Whoa!

05:33.271 --> 05:36.063
Jeez, I almost killed you, Mr. Henderson!

05:38.271 --> 05:39.896
Can I grab a ride?

05:41.521 --> 05:42.563
Get in.

06:37.063 --> 06:39.396
Why isn't it eating us?

06:39.480 --> 06:40.313
Wait.

06:55.021 --> 06:58.063
I think it's smelling something.

07:00.896 --> 07:02.105
Or someone.

07:02.896 --> 07:04.313
Charlie!

07:15.646 --> 07:17.355
Hurry up! Hurry up! Come on!

07:21.646 --> 07:24.730
It is positively glacial out there.

07:24.813 --> 07:28.105
Visibility may be too low right now
for safe conveyance.

07:28.730 --> 07:32.313
But this…
this should make for a fine refuge.

07:32.396 --> 07:36.146
Camping out in the Food Mart?
This is so cool!

07:36.230 --> 07:40.438
Hopefully, it is the exact
and literal opposite of cool.

07:40.521 --> 07:43.063
But I take your meaning.

07:44.980 --> 07:47.480
Hmm. No power.

07:48.230 --> 07:49.396
And the phone is out.

07:49.480 --> 07:51.730
Seems we may have to make ourselves…

07:52.521 --> 07:53.605
comfortable.

07:54.105 --> 07:56.188
Uh, Pop-Tart?

08:02.605 --> 08:04.230
Hey! Where are you guys?

08:06.021 --> 08:09.105
If those losers ditched me, I swear…

08:09.688 --> 08:10.605
Huh.

08:15.146 --> 08:17.230
What the…?

08:28.646 --> 08:29.521
Charlie!

08:32.730 --> 08:34.146
Ah! Let him go!

08:34.230 --> 08:36.813
You nasty thing! Let him go!

08:36.896 --> 08:38.480
Hey! Over here!

08:40.938 --> 08:42.063
Come get me!

08:51.146 --> 08:51.980
Let's go!

08:54.813 --> 08:56.271
Come on, big boy!

08:59.521 --> 09:02.896
Oh my god! Oh my god!

09:06.355 --> 09:10.563
Twice! We've saved
this guy's butt twice now!

09:10.646 --> 09:11.980
He owes us big time.

09:12.063 --> 09:13.146
What did it do to him?

09:13.980 --> 09:16.646
Is he okay? Is he even alive?

09:16.730 --> 09:20.563
He is, but it's like that thing put him
in some kind of trance.

09:20.646 --> 09:22.271
This doesn't make any sense!

09:22.355 --> 09:24.813
That creature, it had us cornered,

09:24.896 --> 09:28.646
but then one whiff of Charlie,
and it dropped us like a bad habit?

09:28.730 --> 09:32.646
The Snow Shark got him once before.
Maybe this creature wanted him back.

09:32.730 --> 09:34.563
Maybe it still wants him back.

09:34.646 --> 09:38.063
How long before this guy's stink
leads that thing right back to us?

09:38.146 --> 09:42.313
We have to contact the others.
This is major code red material.

09:42.396 --> 09:45.063
Your walkie.
It's still in your locker, right?

09:45.146 --> 09:48.771
There's no way we'd be able to make it
without getting caught.

09:57.063 --> 09:58.063
I got it.

09:59.063 --> 10:02.646
Dude, one dumb creature
against three brilliant minds?

10:02.730 --> 10:04.646
Trust me, we can take it down.

10:04.730 --> 10:05.813
How?

10:05.896 --> 10:08.396
We science the heck out of it.

10:14.980 --> 10:16.105
Okay.

10:16.938 --> 10:19.730
This one's for all the marbles.

10:19.813 --> 10:21.396
Ha, hey!

10:21.480 --> 10:22.480
Ah!

10:23.063 --> 10:24.813
Oops.

10:24.896 --> 10:28.480
I think you may be better
at folding paper football

10:28.563 --> 10:31.188
than actually playing paper football.

10:32.605 --> 10:34.730
Well, that tracks.

10:34.813 --> 10:39.188
Growing up, I never really took to sports,
but I was a natural at geometry.

10:39.271 --> 10:42.480
This was hardly what I trained for.

10:42.563 --> 10:43.980
"Trained"?

10:44.563 --> 10:46.105
Do you have a black belt?

10:46.188 --> 10:48.813
Science trained, Mr. Henderson.

10:48.896 --> 10:53.063
Biology with a focus on cytology.
Cytology is the study of--

10:53.146 --> 10:56.521
Cells and cell formations.
You're preaching to the choir, my man.

10:56.605 --> 11:00.730
So, why are you wasting your time
stuck here in Hawkins?

11:02.396 --> 11:06.396
Well, not long ago,
Hawkins was a scientist's playground.

11:06.980 --> 11:10.980
But then it all went up in smoke,
along with my hopes for a career.

11:11.063 --> 11:14.563
You worked at Hawkins Lab?

11:14.646 --> 11:18.646
You're talking to a founding member
of the Scientific Progress Committee.

11:19.938 --> 11:24.896
For ten years, I ground myself to the bone
working toward a promotion

11:24.980 --> 11:27.563
that was destined never to come.

11:29.855 --> 11:33.771
I read that, um,
the place was pretty dangerous.

11:33.855 --> 11:37.480
Can I ask what exactly
you were working on?

11:37.563 --> 11:40.396
Well, that's just it, Mr. Henderson.

11:41.313 --> 11:43.271
All those years of service,

11:43.355 --> 11:46.396
and not a single shred
of security clearance.

11:46.480 --> 11:48.980
No matter how much I had to offer them,

11:49.063 --> 11:52.230
they just never seemed
to want to let me in.

11:53.521 --> 11:55.396
Well, that's great!

11:55.938 --> 12:02.230
I mean, not great, obviously.
That must have sucked for you big time.

12:02.313 --> 12:03.605
No, I meant, like…

12:04.813 --> 12:06.396
It's a cool watch.

12:06.480 --> 12:07.980
No, you're right.

12:09.063 --> 12:12.438
The investigators didn't even wanna
interview me after the shutdown.

12:12.521 --> 12:16.688
Whatever really went down there,
I suppose I was one of the lucky ones.

12:16.771 --> 12:21.188
But it also means I came away
with no research or reputation.

12:22.021 --> 12:25.396
Just a few pens and a commemorative watch.

12:25.480 --> 12:28.855
I get it.
You feel like your big adventure is over,

12:28.938 --> 12:32.230
like the thing
that made you special is gone.

12:32.813 --> 12:34.605
I guess it's not all bad.

12:34.688 --> 12:37.396
If I hadn't lost my job,
then I never would have met Anna.

12:37.480 --> 12:39.813
Uh… Mrs. Baxter.

12:40.646 --> 12:43.646
I really do think
her work will change the world someday.

12:43.730 --> 12:45.188
Exactly!

12:45.271 --> 12:46.896
Just because things change,

12:46.980 --> 12:50.021
doesn't mean
our new lives have to be… ordinary.

12:50.105 --> 12:51.646
Yeah.

12:51.730 --> 12:53.646
We can't stay here forever.

12:53.730 --> 12:56.313
There may yet be a working phone
within walking distance.

12:56.396 --> 12:59.021
I'm going to seek one out
while the wind has let up.

13:00.146 --> 13:01.730
Can I trust you to mind the store?

13:02.563 --> 13:04.730
I'll guard it with my life!

13:06.146 --> 13:07.063
Right.

13:15.813 --> 13:21.313
I have decided I do not,
ugh, like, ugh, snow!

13:29.730 --> 13:31.146
Ah!

13:32.563 --> 13:33.646
Whew!

13:41.563 --> 13:43.980
<i>I don't wanna know</i>
<i>About the things that you do </i>

13:44.063 --> 13:46.563
<i>I don't wanna know</i>
<i>About the things that you say </i>

13:46.646 --> 13:48.063
<i>I don't wanna know </i>

13:48.688 --> 13:51.146
<i>I don't give a damn</i>
<i>Because it's just a sham</i>

13:51.230 --> 13:52.396
What is that?

13:52.480 --> 13:54.313
Uh, calcium acetate.

13:56.980 --> 13:59.313
Okay, how do I put this? Um…

13:59.396 --> 14:01.063
Flammable goop!

14:01.146 --> 14:02.855
How do you know all this stuff?

14:02.938 --> 14:04.105
Never underestimate

14:04.188 --> 14:07.730
the poorly supervised spawn
of a substitute science teacher.

14:07.813 --> 14:10.230
Okay, if you guys are ready
with the distraction,

14:10.313 --> 14:12.313
I can slip out of here
and get Mike's walkie.

14:12.896 --> 14:15.646
You're not going, Will.
It's way too dangerous.

14:15.730 --> 14:19.563
No offense, but I've had,
like, umptillions more experience

14:19.646 --> 14:21.980
avoiding killer monsters than you have.

14:24.105 --> 14:24.938
You're right.

14:25.021 --> 14:28.813
Sorry, Will. I know you can do this,
but please just--

14:28.896 --> 14:31.271
Be careful? Ha. You can count on it.

14:31.355 --> 14:35.771
Here. Potassium nitrate and sugar
make for one heck of a…

14:35.855 --> 14:37.730
…smoke bomb.

14:37.813 --> 14:43.855
And this might look like a humble potato,
but it's what I like to call a taser tot.

14:46.230 --> 14:49.105
Careful! The goop is flammable, remember?

14:49.188 --> 14:52.021
You fumble it, and you could light us up
like a bad barbecue.

14:52.105 --> 14:55.646
Then I guess all we need now is
some kind of monster bait.

14:55.730 --> 15:00.313
And thankfully, we now know
what this creature wants most.

15:02.521 --> 15:05.396
Whoa! Ah!

15:05.480 --> 15:06.771
Whoo!

15:07.896 --> 15:08.813
Whoa!

15:19.313 --> 15:20.313
Ah!

15:20.396 --> 15:21.480
Whoa!

15:24.063 --> 15:25.271
Whoa!

15:40.438 --> 15:41.396
All clear.

15:45.480 --> 15:46.563
How's our bait?

15:46.646 --> 15:49.605
Oof. So stinky, like old cheese mountain.

15:49.688 --> 15:51.188
Ugh! Rank.

15:51.271 --> 15:53.313
If this creature likes how Charlie smells…

15:54.605 --> 15:56.521
then let's ring the dinner bell.

16:19.271 --> 16:20.896
That's not good.

16:22.396 --> 16:24.396
Ah! Ah! Ah!

17:06.605 --> 17:08.105
Now it's up to you guys.

17:20.396 --> 17:21.646
Was that the creature?

17:21.730 --> 17:24.563
Um, it was my stomach. I skipped lunch.

17:24.646 --> 17:27.521
Your stomach?
That sounded like a chainsaw.

17:27.605 --> 17:28.730
It did not.

17:30.605 --> 17:31.438
Gross.

17:31.521 --> 17:33.230
Okay, that wasn't me.

17:46.063 --> 17:48.146
- Flint ready?
- Ready.

17:57.855 --> 17:59.063
Not ready!

18:11.480 --> 18:12.480
Whoa!

18:13.813 --> 18:14.730
Are you okay?

18:14.813 --> 18:17.813
Yeah, minus the fear of being impaled.

18:29.313 --> 18:30.230
- Lucas!
- Max!

18:44.855 --> 18:45.896
Got it!

18:51.688 --> 18:52.813
What are you doing?

19:15.813 --> 19:18.146
- I'm toast.
- The only one getting toasted…

19:20.146 --> 19:21.396
Is him!

19:32.813 --> 19:33.855
Look out, Mike!

19:54.771 --> 19:58.730
The guys are not going to believe
how amazing that was.

19:58.813 --> 20:01.271
- I mean, you saw it, right?
- Oh, I saw.

20:01.355 --> 20:03.313
That was pretty darn cool, Byers.

20:04.188 --> 20:06.105
And, um…

20:06.188 --> 20:08.230
Hey, I also wanted to say…

20:08.313 --> 20:09.230
Sorry.

20:09.855 --> 20:11.896
For the cold shoulder in detention.

20:12.396 --> 20:15.605
You totally didn't deserve that,
and when all this is done,

20:15.688 --> 20:18.313
I really hope there's still room for me
at your game table.

20:20.105 --> 20:22.771
Don't look at me.
You're the Dungeon Master.

20:23.688 --> 20:25.396
The party'd be lucky to have you.

20:34.313 --> 20:36.771
I think he'll live to bully another day.

20:36.855 --> 20:39.980
What are we gonna do with him?
We can't just leave him here.

20:40.063 --> 20:41.021
Can we?

20:45.355 --> 20:48.271
Gotta admit, I always wanted to do that.

20:49.646 --> 20:51.646
Welcome to the dark side, Wheeler.

20:56.146 --> 20:58.438
Repeat, is anybody out there?

20:58.521 --> 21:01.980
This is Max and Lucas
with a code red! Over!

21:02.855 --> 21:04.980
Shoot! Still nothing!

21:06.813 --> 21:10.896
You really know
all the best date spots, don't you?

21:12.355 --> 21:13.396
What happened?

21:13.480 --> 21:14.396
Oh, uh…

21:14.896 --> 21:19.396
Glove down.
It's okay, though. I barely feel anything.

21:29.063 --> 21:31.355
- Better?
- Yeah, um…

21:32.438 --> 21:33.396
Better.

21:42.980 --> 21:45.563
<i>Lucas! Lucas! It's Mike. Is that you?</i>

21:46.271 --> 21:49.355
<i>- Mike! It's Lucas and Max. We read you.</i>
- This is a code red!

21:49.438 --> 21:51.230
<i>- We've got a code red!</i>
- Wait. What?

21:51.313 --> 21:53.313
We've been trying to reach you guys.

21:53.396 --> 21:55.396
We fought off some new creature
in the sewer,

21:55.480 --> 21:58.563
but a few more of them escaped,
and they're on the hunt.

21:58.646 --> 22:02.063
Thanks for the heads-up.
We just took one out at the middle school.

22:02.146 --> 22:05.980
El, are you receiving any of this? Copy?

22:06.855 --> 22:08.230
Uh, Mike?

22:08.813 --> 22:10.563
She's receiving you, all right.

22:15.105 --> 22:16.063
Mike.

22:16.146 --> 22:17.271
El?

22:21.146 --> 22:22.063
Mike.

22:22.146 --> 22:25.271
Saw you… at school.

22:25.355 --> 22:28.271
Had to… help.

22:28.355 --> 22:31.938
You came all the way here from the cabin
for me?

22:32.021 --> 22:35.146
You were hiding, in trouble. You--

22:35.230 --> 22:36.521
We're okay.

22:36.605 --> 22:39.896
We… We killed the creature. It's over.

22:43.271 --> 22:45.480
<i>Hang on. Let me talk to him. Mike?</i>

22:45.563 --> 22:47.813
Mike, Hawkins Middle is northeast
of where we are,

22:47.896 --> 22:51.855
but the creatures we saw in the sewer
were headed northwest, toward Abbot Road.

22:51.938 --> 22:55.355
- <i>Did you guys say Abbot Road?</i>
<i>- Dustin?</i>

22:55.938 --> 22:58.521
Yes, hi. The one and only.

22:58.605 --> 23:02.021
Dustin, where are you right now?

23:02.105 --> 23:07.188
Um, that would be
the Food Mart on Abbot Road.

23:07.271 --> 23:11.480
Okay, listen to me very carefully.
Do you have a way out?

23:11.563 --> 23:15.438
<i>I did, but we're kind of snowed in.</i>
<i>Any chance of a pickup?</i>

23:15.521 --> 23:19.646
We've got bikes at school,
but that snow is still pretty thick.

23:21.021 --> 23:22.646
Max, look!

23:25.396 --> 23:29.438
Guys? I don't think
the snow is gonna be a problem.

23:29.521 --> 23:33.980
Well, hey, no rush on my account.
I'm all good here.

23:34.063 --> 23:38.938
Like, on a scale of good to awesome,
I have to say, I'm pretty--

23:48.271 --> 23:49.396
Dead.
