00:00:26.355 --> 00:00:27.688 align:center
Run!

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:05.271 --> 00:01:08.438 align:center
Hang on! That ought to hold him for….

00:01:09.271 --> 00:01:12.563 align:center
not long! Go, go, go!

00:01:12.646 --> 00:01:14.688 align:center
Wait. We have to go back.

00:01:14.771 --> 00:01:17.438 align:center
Did he say "wait"?
You did not just say "wait."

00:01:17.521 --> 00:01:18.938 align:center
Charlie's still inside.

00:01:19.021 --> 00:01:21.855 align:center
Oh no. All right, we gotta go get him.

00:01:21.938 --> 00:01:25.105 align:center
He's all the way back
on the other side of the school.

00:01:25.188 --> 00:01:27.396 align:center
We just can't leave him
in there with this thing.

00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:28.355 align:center
Can't we?

00:01:31.146 --> 00:01:34.355 align:center
Fine. I was kidding… sorta.

00:01:36.355 --> 00:01:37.521 align:center
Come on! This way!

00:02:23.438 --> 00:02:26.396 align:center
<i>…mountains</i>
<i>under a winter weather advisory.</i>

00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:29.355 align:center
<i>Whiteout conditions are also expected</i>
<i>throughout the day,</i>

00:02:29.438 --> 00:02:33.271 align:center
<i>so definitely be careful on the roadways,</i>
<i>especially in higher terrain.</i>

00:02:33.355 --> 00:02:36.480 align:center
Mike, come in. Do you read me? Over?

00:02:37.188 --> 00:02:39.396 align:center
<i>A state of emergency has been declared</i>

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:42.146 align:center
<i>as authorities continue</i>
<i>to track the storm--</i>

00:02:48.855 --> 00:02:50.563 align:center
I will find you, Mike.

00:03:06.355 --> 00:03:07.396 align:center
Mike?

00:03:25.646 --> 00:03:27.813 align:center
Mike?

00:03:30.646 --> 00:03:31.688 align:center
What is wrong?

00:03:32.563 --> 00:03:33.980 align:center
Why are you hiding?

00:03:43.688 --> 00:03:45.355 align:center
Mike!

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:49.313 align:center
Mike!

00:04:28.605 --> 00:04:30.146 align:center
Should we go after him?

00:04:31.188 --> 00:04:32.230 align:center
Eh…

00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.313 align:center
Lucas and Max reporting in. Over.

00:04:40.521 --> 00:04:43.938 align:center
Anyone out there?
We've got a creature attack incoming.

00:04:44.021 --> 00:04:46.230 align:center
This is a code red. Over.

00:04:47.688 --> 00:04:49.480 align:center
Shoot! Nothing but static.

00:04:49.563 --> 00:04:52.063 align:center
And not exactly clear skies.

00:04:52.146 --> 00:04:54.396 align:center
Probably need to find higher ground
to boost the signal.

00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.396 align:center
Yeah. But where do we…

00:05:07.646 --> 00:05:09.063 align:center
Stupid vest!

00:05:09.146 --> 00:05:11.313 align:center
Stupid storm, stupid <i>She-Ra,</i>

00:05:11.396 --> 00:05:14.188 align:center
and stupid me.
Trying to pedal in the middle of this.

00:05:14.271 --> 00:05:15.688 align:center
Whoa! Whoa!

00:05:17.146 --> 00:05:19.105 align:center
Oh, great!

00:05:24.730 --> 00:05:27.063 align:center
Hey! Hey! Hey!

00:05:27.146 --> 00:05:28.813 align:center
Whoa! Whoa!

00:05:33.271 --> 00:05:36.063 align:center
Jeez, I almost killed you, Mr. Henderson!

00:05:38.271 --> 00:05:39.896 align:center
Can I grab a ride?

00:05:41.521 --> 00:05:42.563 align:center
Get in.

00:06:37.063 --> 00:06:39.396 align:center
Why isn't it eating us?

00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.313 align:center
Wait.

00:06:55.021 --> 00:06:58.063 align:center
I think it's smelling something.

00:07:00.896 --> 00:07:02.105 align:center
Or someone.

00:07:02.896 --> 00:07:04.313 align:center
Charlie!

00:07:15.646 --> 00:07:17.355 align:center
Hurry up! Hurry up! Come on!

00:07:21.646 --> 00:07:24.730 align:center
It is positively glacial out there.

00:07:24.813 --> 00:07:28.105 align:center
Visibility may be too low right now
for safe conveyance.

00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:32.313 align:center
But this…
this should make for a fine refuge.

00:07:32.396 --> 00:07:36.146 align:center
Camping out in the Food Mart?
This is so cool!

00:07:36.230 --> 00:07:40.438 align:center
Hopefully, it is the exact
and literal opposite of cool.

00:07:40.521 --> 00:07:43.063 align:center
But I take your meaning.

00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.480 align:center
Hmm. No power.

00:07:48.230 --> 00:07:49.396 align:center
And the phone is out.

00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.730 align:center
Seems we may have to make ourselves…

00:07:52.521 --> 00:07:53.605 align:center
comfortable.

00:07:54.105 --> 00:07:56.188 align:center
Uh, Pop-Tart?

00:08:02.605 --> 00:08:04.230 align:center
Hey! Where are you guys?

00:08:06.021 --> 00:08:09.105 align:center
If those losers ditched me, I swear…

00:08:09.688 --> 00:08:10.605 align:center
Huh.

00:08:15.146 --> 00:08:17.230 align:center
What the…?

00:08:28.646 --> 00:08:29.521 align:center
Charlie!

00:08:32.730 --> 00:08:34.146 align:center
Ah! Let him go!

00:08:34.230 --> 00:08:36.813 align:center
You nasty thing! Let him go!

00:08:36.896 --> 00:08:38.480 align:center
Hey! Over here!

00:08:40.938 --> 00:08:42.063 align:center
Come get me!

00:08:51.146 --> 00:08:51.980 align:center
Let's go!

00:08:54.813 --> 00:08:56.271 align:center
Come on, big boy!

00:08:59.521 --> 00:09:02.896 align:center
Oh my god! Oh my god!

00:09:06.355 --> 00:09:10.563 align:center
Twice! We've saved
this guy's butt twice now!

00:09:10.646 --> 00:09:11.980 align:center
He owes us big time.

00:09:12.063 --> 00:09:13.146 align:center
What did it do to him?

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:16.646 align:center
Is he okay? Is he even alive?

00:09:16.730 --> 00:09:20.563 align:center
He is, but it's like that thing put him
in some kind of trance.

00:09:20.646 --> 00:09:22.271 align:center
This doesn't make any sense!

00:09:22.355 --> 00:09:24.813 align:center
That creature, it had us cornered,

00:09:24.896 --> 00:09:28.646 align:center
but then one whiff of Charlie,
and it dropped us like a bad habit?

00:09:28.730 --> 00:09:32.646 align:center
The Snow Shark got him once before.
Maybe this creature wanted him back.

00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:34.563 align:center
Maybe it still wants him back.

00:09:34.646 --> 00:09:38.063 align:center
How long before this guy's stink
leads that thing right back to us?

00:09:38.146 --> 00:09:42.313 align:center
We have to contact the others.
This is major code red material.

00:09:42.396 --> 00:09:45.063 align:center
Your walkie.
It's still in your locker, right?

00:09:45.146 --> 00:09:48.771 align:center
There's no way we'd be able to make it
without getting caught.

00:09:57.063 --> 00:09:58.063 align:center
I got it.

00:09:59.063 --> 00:10:02.646 align:center
Dude, one dumb creature
against three brilliant minds?

00:10:02.730 --> 00:10:04.646 align:center
Trust me, we can take it down.

00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:05.813 align:center
How?

00:10:05.896 --> 00:10:08.396 align:center
We science the heck out of it.

00:10:14.980 --> 00:10:16.105 align:center
Okay.

00:10:16.938 --> 00:10:19.730 align:center
This one's for all the marbles.

00:10:19.813 --> 00:10:21.396 align:center
Ha, hey!

00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:22.480 align:center
Ah!

00:10:23.063 --> 00:10:24.813 align:center
Oops.

00:10:24.896 --> 00:10:28.480 align:center
I think you may be better
at folding paper football

00:10:28.563 --> 00:10:31.188 align:center
than actually playing paper football.

00:10:32.605 --> 00:10:34.730 align:center
Well, that tracks.

00:10:34.813 --> 00:10:39.188 align:center
Growing up, I never really took to sports,
but I was a natural at geometry.

00:10:39.271 --> 00:10:42.480 align:center
This was hardly what I trained for.

00:10:42.563 --> 00:10:43.980 align:center
"Trained"?

00:10:44.563 --> 00:10:46.105 align:center
Do you have a black belt?

00:10:46.188 --> 00:10:48.813 align:center
Science trained, Mr. Henderson.

00:10:48.896 --> 00:10:53.063 align:center
Biology with a focus on cytology.
Cytology is the study of--

00:10:53.146 --> 00:10:56.521 align:center
Cells and cell formations.
You're preaching to the choir, my man.

00:10:56.605 --> 00:11:00.730 align:center
So, why are you wasting your time
stuck here in Hawkins?

00:11:02.396 --> 00:11:06.396 align:center
Well, not long ago,
Hawkins was a scientist's playground.

00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:10.980 align:center
But then it all went up in smoke,
along with my hopes for a career.

00:11:11.063 --> 00:11:14.563 align:center
You worked at Hawkins Lab?

00:11:14.646 --> 00:11:18.646 align:center
You're talking to a founding member
of the Scientific Progress Committee.

00:11:19.938 --> 00:11:24.896 align:center
For ten years, I ground myself to the bone
working toward a promotion

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:27.563 align:center
that was destined never to come.

00:11:29.855 --> 00:11:33.771 align:center
I read that, um,
the place was pretty dangerous.

00:11:33.855 --> 00:11:37.480 align:center
Can I ask what exactly
you were working on?

00:11:37.563 --> 00:11:40.396 align:center
Well, that's just it, Mr. Henderson.

00:11:41.313 --> 00:11:43.271 align:center
All those years of service,

00:11:43.355 --> 00:11:46.396 align:center
and not a single shred
of security clearance.

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.980 align:center
No matter how much I had to offer them,

00:11:49.063 --> 00:11:52.230 align:center
they just never seemed
to want to let me in.

00:11:53.521 --> 00:11:55.396 align:center
Well, that's great!

00:11:55.938 --> 00:12:02.230 align:center
I mean, not great, obviously.
That must have sucked for you big time.

00:12:02.313 --> 00:12:03.605 align:center
No, I meant, like…

00:12:04.813 --> 00:12:06.396 align:center
It's a cool watch.

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.980 align:center
No, you're right.

00:12:09.063 --> 00:12:12.438 align:center
The investigators didn't even wanna
interview me after the shutdown.

00:12:12.521 --> 00:12:16.688 align:center
Whatever really went down there,
I suppose I was one of the lucky ones.

00:12:16.771 --> 00:12:21.188 align:center
But it also means I came away
with no research or reputation.

00:12:22.021 --> 00:12:25.396 align:center
Just a few pens and a commemorative watch.

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.855 align:center
I get it.
You feel like your big adventure is over,

00:12:28.938 --> 00:12:32.230 align:center
like the thing
that made you special is gone.

00:12:32.813 --> 00:12:34.605 align:center
I guess it's not all bad.

00:12:34.688 --> 00:12:37.396 align:center
If I hadn't lost my job,
then I never would have met Anna.

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.813 align:center
Uh… Mrs. Baxter.

00:12:40.646 --> 00:12:43.646 align:center
I really do think
her work will change the world someday.

00:12:43.730 --> 00:12:45.188 align:center
Exactly!

00:12:45.271 --> 00:12:46.896 align:center
Just because things change,

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:50.021 align:center
doesn't mean
our new lives have to be… ordinary.

00:12:50.105 --> 00:12:51.646 align:center
Yeah.

00:12:51.730 --> 00:12:53.646 align:center
We can't stay here forever.

00:12:53.730 --> 00:12:56.313 align:center
There may yet be a working phone
within walking distance.

00:12:56.396 --> 00:12:59.021 align:center
I'm going to seek one out
while the wind has let up.

00:13:00.146 --> 00:13:01.730 align:center
Can I trust you to mind the store?

00:13:02.563 --> 00:13:04.730 align:center
I'll guard it with my life!

00:13:06.146 --> 00:13:07.063 align:center
Right.

00:13:15.813 --> 00:13:21.313 align:center
I have decided I do not,
ugh, like, ugh, snow!

00:13:29.730 --> 00:13:31.146 align:center
Ah!

00:13:32.563 --> 00:13:33.646 align:center
Whew!

00:13:41.563 --> 00:13:43.980 align:center
<i>I don't wanna know</i>
<i>About the things that you do </i>

00:13:44.063 --> 00:13:46.563 align:center
<i>I don't wanna know</i>
<i>About the things that you say </i>

00:13:46.646 --> 00:13:48.063 align:center
<i>I don't wanna know </i>

00:13:48.688 --> 00:13:51.146 align:center
<i>I don't give a damn</i>
<i>Because it's just a sham</i>

00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:52.396 align:center
What is that?

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.313 align:center
Uh, calcium acetate.

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:59.313 align:center
Okay, how do I put this? Um…

00:13:59.396 --> 00:14:01.063 align:center
Flammable goop!

00:14:01.146 --> 00:14:02.855 align:center
How do you know all this stuff?

00:14:02.938 --> 00:14:04.105 align:center
Never underestimate

00:14:04.188 --> 00:14:07.730 align:center
the poorly supervised spawn
of a substitute science teacher.

00:14:07.813 --> 00:14:10.230 align:center
Okay, if you guys are ready
with the distraction,

00:14:10.313 --> 00:14:12.313 align:center
I can slip out of here
and get Mike's walkie.

00:14:12.896 --> 00:14:15.646 align:center
You're not going, Will.
It's way too dangerous.

00:14:15.730 --> 00:14:19.563 align:center
No offense, but I've had,
like, umptillions more experience

00:14:19.646 --> 00:14:21.980 align:center
avoiding killer monsters than you have.

00:14:24.105 --> 00:14:24.938 align:center
You're right.

00:14:25.021 --> 00:14:28.813 align:center
Sorry, Will. I know you can do this,
but please just--

00:14:28.896 --> 00:14:31.271 align:center
Be careful? Ha. You can count on it.

00:14:31.355 --> 00:14:35.771 align:center
Here. Potassium nitrate and sugar
make for one heck of a…

00:14:35.855 --> 00:14:37.730 align:center
…smoke bomb.

00:14:37.813 --> 00:14:43.855 align:center
And this might look like a humble potato,
but it's what I like to call a taser tot.

00:14:46.230 --> 00:14:49.105 align:center
Careful! The goop is flammable, remember?

00:14:49.188 --> 00:14:52.021 align:center
You fumble it, and you could light us up
like a bad barbecue.

00:14:52.105 --> 00:14:55.646 align:center
Then I guess all we need now is
some kind of monster bait.

00:14:55.730 --> 00:15:00.313 align:center
And thankfully, we now know
what this creature wants most.

00:15:02.521 --> 00:15:05.396 align:center
Whoa! Ah!

00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:06.771 align:center
Whoo!

00:15:07.896 --> 00:15:08.813 align:center
Whoa!

00:15:19.313 --> 00:15:20.313 align:center
Ah!

00:15:20.396 --> 00:15:21.480 align:center
Whoa!

00:15:24.063 --> 00:15:25.271 align:center
Whoa!

00:15:40.438 --> 00:15:41.396 align:center
All clear.

00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:46.563 align:center
How's our bait?

00:15:46.646 --> 00:15:49.605 align:center
Oof. So stinky, like old cheese mountain.

00:15:49.688 --> 00:15:51.188 align:center
Ugh! Rank.

00:15:51.271 --> 00:15:53.313 align:center
If this creature likes how Charlie smells…

00:15:54.605 --> 00:15:56.521 align:center
then let's ring the dinner bell.

00:16:19.271 --> 00:16:20.896 align:center
That's not good.

00:16:22.396 --> 00:16:24.396 align:center
Ah! Ah! Ah!

00:17:06.605 --> 00:17:08.105 align:center
Now it's up to you guys.

00:17:20.396 --> 00:17:21.646 align:center
Was that the creature?

00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:24.563 align:center
Um, it was my stomach. I skipped lunch.

00:17:24.646 --> 00:17:27.521 align:center
Your stomach?
That sounded like a chainsaw.

00:17:27.605 --> 00:17:28.730 align:center
It did not.

00:17:30.605 --> 00:17:31.438 align:center
Gross.

00:17:31.521 --> 00:17:33.230 align:center
Okay, that wasn't me.

00:17:46.063 --> 00:17:48.146 align:center
- Flint ready?
- Ready.

00:17:57.855 --> 00:17:59.063 align:center
Not ready!

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:12.480 align:center
Whoa!

00:18:13.813 --> 00:18:14.730 align:center
Are you okay?

00:18:14.813 --> 00:18:17.813 align:center
Yeah, minus the fear of being impaled.

00:18:29.313 --> 00:18:30.230 align:center
- Lucas!
- Max!

00:18:44.855 --> 00:18:45.896 align:center
Got it!

00:18:51.688 --> 00:18:52.813 align:center
What are you doing?

00:19:15.813 --> 00:19:18.146 align:center
- I'm toast.
- The only one getting toasted…

00:19:20.146 --> 00:19:21.396 align:center
Is him!

00:19:32.813 --> 00:19:33.855 align:center
Look out, Mike!

00:19:54.771 --> 00:19:58.730 align:center
The guys are not going to believe
how amazing that was.

00:19:58.813 --> 00:20:01.271 align:center
- I mean, you saw it, right?
- Oh, I saw.

00:20:01.355 --> 00:20:03.313 align:center
That was pretty darn cool, Byers.

00:20:04.188 --> 00:20:06.105 align:center
And, um…

00:20:06.188 --> 00:20:08.230 align:center
Hey, I also wanted to say…

00:20:08.313 --> 00:20:09.230 align:center
Sorry.

00:20:09.855 --> 00:20:11.896 align:center
For the cold shoulder in detention.

00:20:12.396 --> 00:20:15.605 align:center
You totally didn't deserve that,
and when all this is done,

00:20:15.688 --> 00:20:18.313 align:center
I really hope there's still room for me
at your game table.

00:20:20.105 --> 00:20:22.771 align:center
Don't look at me.
You're the Dungeon Master.

00:20:23.688 --> 00:20:25.396 align:center
The party'd be lucky to have you.

00:20:34.313 --> 00:20:36.771 align:center
I think he'll live to bully another day.

00:20:36.855 --> 00:20:39.980 align:center
What are we gonna do with him?
We can't just leave him here.

00:20:40.063 --> 00:20:41.021 align:center
Can we?

00:20:45.355 --> 00:20:48.271 align:center
Gotta admit, I always wanted to do that.

00:20:49.646 --> 00:20:51.646 align:center
Welcome to the dark side, Wheeler.

00:20:56.146 --> 00:20:58.438 align:center
Repeat, is anybody out there?

00:20:58.521 --> 00:21:01.980 align:center
This is Max and Lucas
with a code red! Over!

00:21:02.855 --> 00:21:04.980 align:center
Shoot! Still nothing!

00:21:06.813 --> 00:21:10.896 align:center
You really know
all the best date spots, don't you?

00:21:12.355 --> 00:21:13.396 align:center
What happened?

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:14.396 align:center
Oh, uh…

00:21:14.896 --> 00:21:19.396 align:center
Glove down.
It's okay, though. I barely feel anything.

00:21:29.063 --> 00:21:31.355 align:center
- Better?
- Yeah, um…

00:21:32.438 --> 00:21:33.396 align:center
Better.

00:21:42.980 --> 00:21:45.563 align:center
<i>Lucas! Lucas! It's Mike. Is that you?</i>

00:21:46.271 --> 00:21:49.355 align:center
<i>- Mike! It's Lucas and Max. We read you.</i>
- This is a code red!

00:21:49.438 --> 00:21:51.230 align:center
<i>- We've got a code red!</i>
- Wait. What?

00:21:51.313 --> 00:21:53.313 align:center
We've been trying to reach you guys.

00:21:53.396 --> 00:21:55.396 align:center
We fought off some new creature
in the sewer,

00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:58.563 align:center
but a few more of them escaped,
and they're on the hunt.

00:21:58.646 --> 00:22:02.063 align:center
Thanks for the heads-up.
We just took one out at the middle school.

00:22:02.146 --> 00:22:05.980 align:center
El, are you receiving any of this? Copy?

00:22:06.855 --> 00:22:08.230 align:center
Uh, Mike?

00:22:08.813 --> 00:22:10.563 align:center
She's receiving you, all right.

00:22:15.105 --> 00:22:16.063 align:center
Mike.

00:22:16.146 --> 00:22:17.271 align:center
El?

00:22:21.146 --> 00:22:22.063 align:center
Mike.

00:22:22.146 --> 00:22:25.271 align:center
Saw you… at school.

00:22:25.355 --> 00:22:28.271 align:center
Had to… help.

00:22:28.355 --> 00:22:31.938 align:center
You came all the way here from the cabin
for me?

00:22:32.021 --> 00:22:35.146 align:center
You were hiding, in trouble. You--

00:22:35.230 --> 00:22:36.521 align:center
We're okay.

00:22:36.605 --> 00:22:39.896 align:center
We… We killed the creature. It's over.

00:22:43.271 --> 00:22:45.480 align:center
<i>Hang on. Let me talk to him. Mike?</i>

00:22:45.563 --> 00:22:47.813 align:center
Mike, Hawkins Middle is northeast
of where we are,

00:22:47.896 --> 00:22:51.855 align:center
but the creatures we saw in the sewer
were headed northwest, toward Abbot Road.

00:22:51.938 --> 00:22:55.355 align:center
- <i>Did you guys say Abbot Road?</i>
<i>- Dustin?</i>

00:22:55.938 --> 00:22:58.521 align:center
Yes, hi. The one and only.

00:22:58.605 --> 00:23:02.021 align:center
Dustin, where are you right now?

00:23:02.105 --> 00:23:07.188 align:center
Um, that would be
the Food Mart on Abbot Road.

00:23:07.271 --> 00:23:11.480 align:center
Okay, listen to me very carefully.
Do you have a way out?

00:23:11.563 --> 00:23:15.438 align:center
<i>I did, but we're kind of snowed in.</i>
<i>Any chance of a pickup?</i>

00:23:15.521 --> 00:23:19.646 align:center
We've got bikes at school,
but that snow is still pretty thick.

00:23:21.021 --> 00:23:22.646 align:center
Max, look!

00:23:25.396 --> 00:23:29.438 align:center
Guys? I don't think
the snow is gonna be a problem.

00:23:29.521 --> 00:23:33.980 align:center
Well, hey, no rush on my account.
I'm all good here.

00:23:34.063 --> 00:23:38.938 align:center
Like, on a scale of good to awesome,
I have to say, I'm pretty--

00:23:48.271 --> 00:23:49.396 align:center
Dead.
