WEBVTT

01:21.646 --> 01:24.688
Back, back, back, back! Eat salt, jerks!

01:36.563 --> 01:37.896
Take that!

01:43.438 --> 01:44.563
It took it.

01:46.771 --> 01:49.146
Sorry, guy, all out of backpacks!

02:12.188 --> 02:16.480
Get away from him, you mouth breather!

02:27.855 --> 02:30.396
Um, should we help her?

02:30.480 --> 02:34.146
After the day she's had,
I'd say let her have this one.

02:52.313 --> 02:54.188
What? No spores?

02:54.813 --> 02:55.980
You okay?

02:58.230 --> 03:00.063
I think Dan might ban me for life.

03:00.146 --> 03:02.771
We have bigger problems
than the Food Mart, Dustin.

03:02.855 --> 03:04.521
Way bigger.

04:21.063 --> 04:24.938
Geez, worst storm damage
we've had in years.

04:25.021 --> 04:29.855
It was a wild one, Chief.
Hope this place is insured.

04:29.938 --> 04:32.730
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!

04:50.605 --> 04:52.105
You're not done yet?

04:52.188 --> 04:54.646
You traded turns
for Erica's dessert again, didn't you?

04:55.230 --> 04:56.563
Yeah, last week

04:56.646 --> 05:01.105
before I knew we'd be saving this town
from crazy creatures, again!

05:01.188 --> 05:05.271
My parents should be throwing me a parade,
not forcing me to shovel snow!

05:06.271 --> 05:08.271
You're shoveling something, all right.

05:09.438 --> 05:11.688
Come on, town hero!

05:22.855 --> 05:24.771
Hey, what's going on?

05:24.855 --> 05:27.646
My bike's gotta be around here somewhere.

05:28.230 --> 05:29.271
Hold on.

05:29.355 --> 05:31.063
U-turn! U-turn!

05:31.146 --> 05:32.521
Are you sure this time?

05:32.605 --> 05:35.813
He was sure the last three times.

05:35.896 --> 05:38.271
Yeah, yeah. Sorry I'm not an expert

05:38.355 --> 05:41.021
at finding something lost
in a historic blizzard.

05:41.605 --> 05:43.563
Why were you out in the snow anyway?

05:43.646 --> 05:45.855
I thought
you were just going to hit the arcade.

05:45.938 --> 05:48.605
- He was on a date.
- With Rosario.

05:48.688 --> 05:52.855
Would you clowns give it a rest?
Yes, fine. I was with Rosario,

05:52.938 --> 05:55.438
but we were working the H.I.C. case.

05:55.521 --> 05:57.896
Dustin, why are you red?

05:57.980 --> 05:58.896
It's…

05:58.980 --> 06:00.646
I'm not! I'm…

06:01.230 --> 06:02.313
My bike!

06:03.813 --> 06:05.480
And you all doubted me.

06:05.563 --> 06:07.271
He's changing the subject.

06:07.355 --> 06:11.396
No. I'm simply trying to keep us focused
on the task at hand.

06:11.480 --> 06:14.396
Rosario saw the same blinking light
Charlie did

06:14.480 --> 06:17.563
after she played host
to that Jerk O'Lantern thing.

06:17.646 --> 06:20.230
You seriously think that's a coincidence?

06:20.813 --> 06:25.563
Charlie and Rosario were possessed
by totally different creatures.

06:25.646 --> 06:28.271
Those creatures share a common ancestor.

06:29.646 --> 06:31.563
Like… Hordak.

06:31.646 --> 06:32.563
Hord-what?

06:32.646 --> 06:34.480
Is that a <i>She-Ra </i>reference?

06:34.563 --> 06:37.563
Yep. Hordak, like controls the Horde.

06:37.646 --> 06:40.396
The biggest baddie of all the baddies.

06:40.480 --> 06:43.646
Except for his boss,
Horde Prime, of course.

06:43.730 --> 06:47.021
Okay. Let me try to explain this
a way that's less cool.

06:48.438 --> 06:51.605
Think of a beehive and the queen bee.

06:51.688 --> 06:53.896
The creatures
that possessed Charlie and Rosario,

06:53.980 --> 06:56.146
they could've all descended
from the same Queen

06:56.230 --> 06:59.646
and shared her memories.
That's why they had the same vision.

06:59.730 --> 07:02.146
So the vision didn't come from them.

07:02.230 --> 07:03.813
It came from the Queen.

07:03.896 --> 07:05.063
Exactly.

07:05.146 --> 07:08.396
If we figure out where the light is
Charlie and Rosario saw,

07:08.480 --> 07:10.896
then we'll locate the source
of all these creatures.

07:11.480 --> 07:12.730
Hordak.

07:12.813 --> 07:14.938
We know the creatures are in the sewers.

07:15.021 --> 07:18.021
If there's a queen like you say,
that's where we gotta start.

07:18.605 --> 07:22.063
If you'd rather embark
on a wild goose chase

07:22.146 --> 07:24.355
in the stinkiest depths of Hawkins,

07:24.438 --> 07:28.855
instead of systematically triangulating
the Queen's location

07:28.938 --> 07:31.230
using logic and science, then--

07:31.313 --> 07:32.771
I'm tired of being chased.

07:32.855 --> 07:35.813
We should do the chasing.

07:36.521 --> 07:37.355
Fine.

07:37.438 --> 07:40.230
Well, if we're headed underground
for a monster beatdown,

07:40.313 --> 07:41.730
we're gonna need some gear.

07:41.813 --> 07:45.355
And that just so happens
to be my specialty.

07:47.396 --> 07:48.563
Whoa.

07:48.646 --> 07:50.230
Welcome to…

07:50.313 --> 07:51.563
The mosh pit!

07:57.146 --> 07:58.438
Whoa!

07:58.521 --> 08:02.438
This is like Nikola Tesla
meets Dr. Frankenstein.

08:02.521 --> 08:04.938
You made all of this?

08:05.021 --> 08:09.730
Uh, yep. And if anything's gonna stop
that Queen, it's gonna be here.

08:09.813 --> 08:11.188
Gear up, Terminators.

08:11.271 --> 08:13.188
This stuff is sick, Nikki.

08:13.271 --> 08:18.230
Sick as in cool,
but also sick as in kinda sick.

08:18.813 --> 08:20.646
- Ah!
- Ah!

08:21.813 --> 08:23.855
Uh, sorry?

08:23.938 --> 08:25.813
Well, that ball had it coming.

08:29.063 --> 08:29.938
Hey!

08:30.021 --> 08:31.438
Made something for you too.

08:31.521 --> 08:35.813
No way!
Is this the mallet from the festival?

08:35.896 --> 08:37.688
With one or two bonuses.

08:38.188 --> 08:41.396
Nikki, this is so cool. Thank you.

08:42.813 --> 08:47.480
It's like you can see into my brain
and make my dreams real!

08:47.563 --> 08:49.688
What do you call this beauty?

08:49.771 --> 08:51.980
Uh, you name it.

08:52.063 --> 08:54.188
I'd like to officially make you

08:54.271 --> 08:58.146
the H.I.C.'s Head of R&D
for Field Technologies.

08:58.730 --> 09:01.980
Whoa! Sounds rad. Count me in.

09:10.105 --> 09:13.355
Oh! Oh my goodness, Nikki!
Uh, you have guests.

09:13.438 --> 09:15.396
- Hi, Mrs. Baxter!
- Hi, Mrs. Baxter!

09:15.480 --> 09:16.646
Hi, Mrs. Baxter!

09:17.396 --> 09:21.271
Hey! Hello, kids.
Checkin' out Nikki's knickknacks?

09:21.355 --> 09:24.563
Mom, don't call them that,
because then the name will stick.

09:24.646 --> 09:28.063
I'm so sorry. I thought you and them…

09:28.146 --> 09:29.271
We're cool now.

09:29.355 --> 09:33.563
Really? Okay. Good, good, good. Then…

09:33.646 --> 09:36.688
I didn't mean to interrupt,
but I wanted to give you something.

09:38.771 --> 09:41.063
Thanks, Mom. Love you.

09:41.146 --> 09:43.605
Oh, I love you too, sweet girl.

09:43.688 --> 09:45.021
Happy birthday.

09:46.146 --> 09:49.146
- It's your birthday?
- Birthday? What?!

09:49.230 --> 09:50.896
Uh, I… I'm just gonna…

09:51.688 --> 09:53.271
I… I'm gonna go, I guess.

09:53.855 --> 09:55.021
Traitor.

09:57.146 --> 09:58.980
Why didn't you tell us?

09:59.063 --> 10:01.271
I guess I'm not really a birthday person.

10:01.355 --> 10:04.313
Besides, who would I invite? My mom?

10:04.396 --> 10:05.646
How about us?

10:11.313 --> 10:13.146
Okay. Um…

10:13.230 --> 10:17.146
Yeah. Maybe this year
I'd be up for trying something different.

10:17.230 --> 10:18.563
Why not?

10:19.605 --> 10:23.313
But first, we got some sewer business
to take care of.

10:40.563 --> 10:41.563
Light 'em up.

11:00.313 --> 11:01.396
So…

11:02.188 --> 11:05.938
Does this mean that the sewers
are our official date spot?

11:06.646 --> 11:08.355
Don't make me puke.

11:08.438 --> 11:11.813
You don't wanna celebrate
our anniversary here?

11:11.896 --> 11:13.313
I could bring candles.

11:13.396 --> 11:14.563
Gross.

11:20.521 --> 11:23.605
You have really never had
a birthday party?

11:24.855 --> 11:26.730
I have never had one either.

11:26.813 --> 11:29.438
Is that 'cause of where you grew up?

11:29.521 --> 11:33.230
No one ever mentioned birthdays
in the lab.

11:33.313 --> 11:37.313
I did not even know when mine was
until a few months ago.

11:37.396 --> 11:40.480
They really kept you locked down, huh?

11:40.563 --> 11:42.855
Locked down? Yes.

11:43.480 --> 11:46.688
But you went all over?

11:46.771 --> 11:49.980
So many places.
They all kind of just blur together.

11:50.063 --> 11:52.563
My mom tried to make sure
I did regular kid stuff,

11:52.646 --> 11:55.313
like the mall and karate class,

11:55.396 --> 11:57.646
but we could never really crack
birthday parties.

11:57.730 --> 12:00.813
I guess they're just a little too normal
for someone like me.

12:00.896 --> 12:03.105
I am not normal either.

12:04.230 --> 12:06.938
Well, who wants to be normal anyway, huh?

12:19.813 --> 12:23.355
Whoa. Guys, are you seeing these?

12:25.021 --> 12:26.105
What do they mean?

12:26.813 --> 12:29.980
I think it means--

12:31.563 --> 12:34.313
I think it means we go this way.

12:34.813 --> 12:36.521
We must be getting close.

12:45.271 --> 12:46.605
Who, uh…

12:47.813 --> 12:49.605
Who wants to go first?

12:53.605 --> 12:54.896
Fine.

12:59.480 --> 13:00.521
Be careful.

13:00.605 --> 13:02.563
A little late for that, stalker.

13:05.021 --> 13:07.688
These vines are strong enough
to break through cement.

13:07.771 --> 13:11.355
- If this whole place is riddled with them…
- We have to be careful where we step.

13:11.438 --> 13:12.563
Max?

13:13.855 --> 13:14.730
Max?

13:17.271 --> 13:19.188
Max!

13:20.063 --> 13:21.980
You're gonna want to see this.

13:27.396 --> 13:28.646
End of the line.

13:43.313 --> 13:44.188
Look!

13:48.855 --> 13:50.021
Only one of them.

13:50.105 --> 13:51.563
- We can handle--
- No.

13:59.105 --> 13:59.980
She's right.

14:00.063 --> 14:04.063
If we fight them, we'll alert everything
in the sewer system we're here.

14:04.146 --> 14:07.063
Those things could
come back around any second.

14:07.146 --> 14:09.980
We gotta figure out a way
to get over there

14:10.063 --> 14:12.896
without having to climb
down into the death tunnel first.

14:12.980 --> 14:17.605
Oh, silly me. I left my grappling hook
in my other pants.

14:17.688 --> 14:18.980
I didn't.

14:20.146 --> 14:21.771
Who's ready for a ride?

14:23.313 --> 14:25.563
Steady. Steady.

15:11.105 --> 15:12.271
- Come on! Hurry!
- Hurry up!

15:12.355 --> 15:13.855
What are you waiting for?

15:15.688 --> 15:17.021
Uh, guys?

15:26.105 --> 15:28.230
Yes! Yes! Go, El!

15:45.730 --> 15:46.688
Ow.

15:52.688 --> 15:54.146
Where the heck are we now?

15:54.230 --> 15:55.355
Sewer Junction.

15:55.438 --> 15:57.021
Gross!

15:57.105 --> 15:59.021
- Ugh.
- Check this out.

16:01.688 --> 16:04.105
Don't get too close!
That's a power transformer.

16:04.188 --> 16:07.146
It'll pack a lethal zap
if you mess with it wrong.

16:08.605 --> 16:11.146
Who just leaves their tools lying around?

16:11.230 --> 16:13.855
Probably someone
who didn't have much of a choice.

16:22.188 --> 16:23.646
Dustin.

16:24.855 --> 16:26.771
- Dustin!
- Ah!

16:33.605 --> 16:34.896
Get back!

16:40.563 --> 16:42.521
Knickknacks at the ready!

16:42.605 --> 16:44.480
Please do not call them that.

16:47.688 --> 16:50.646
<i>She sends out an aroma</i>
<i>Of undefined love</i>

16:50.730 --> 16:53.188
<i>It drips on down in a mist from above</i>

16:53.271 --> 16:55.105
<i>She's just the girl</i>
<i>She's just the girl</i>

16:55.188 --> 16:56.188
Whoa!

16:58.230 --> 17:03.605
You're tangling with the wrong guy!
Taste my Wizard's Breath!

17:06.188 --> 17:07.146
Whoa!

17:15.271 --> 17:16.563
Incoming!

17:18.646 --> 17:19.480
Whoa!

17:19.563 --> 17:21.730
<i>She's just the girl</i>
<i>The girl you want</i>

17:23.646 --> 17:26.813
<i>She's just the girl, she's just the girl</i>
<i>The girl you want</i>

17:30.021 --> 17:32.105
Ah!

17:32.188 --> 17:34.855
<i>Look at you with your mouth watering</i>

17:34.938 --> 17:37.396
<i>Look at you with your mind spinnin'</i>

17:37.480 --> 17:38.646
Not good.

17:40.105 --> 17:43.480
<i>She's just the girl you want</i>

17:45.480 --> 17:48.146
<i>She's just the girl, she's just the girl</i>
<i>The girl you want</i>

17:48.230 --> 17:52.480
Is that all you got, you dumb hedge?

17:52.563 --> 17:55.063
<i>She's just the girl</i>
<i>The girl you want</i>

17:55.688 --> 17:58.021
Eyes! Eyes! Cover your eyes!

18:08.980 --> 18:10.063
Oh, my…

18:10.146 --> 18:11.563
That was a close one.

18:11.646 --> 18:14.355
I think I have some sewer stuff
in my mouth.

18:15.480 --> 18:19.105
Geared up or not,
we weren't ready for that.

18:19.188 --> 18:24.021
Come on, guys. We can't stop now.
We're so close. We just have to--

18:28.063 --> 18:29.980
Leave before we die?

18:30.063 --> 18:33.313
Everyone, grab your stuff.
We're getting out of here.

18:33.396 --> 18:34.396
Now!

18:41.021 --> 18:43.188
That was a total disaster.

18:44.105 --> 18:48.230
Guys, I'm starting to think
we finally met our match.

18:48.730 --> 18:51.855
There is no part of me that doesn't hurt.

18:52.355 --> 18:54.313
There's no part of me that doesn't stink.

18:55.063 --> 18:58.355
My shoes are never going to be the same.

18:59.396 --> 19:02.813
That was not a success.

19:02.896 --> 19:04.896
Yeah. I'm sorry, Nikki.

19:05.521 --> 19:08.313
This is pretty much
the worst birthday ever, huh?

19:08.396 --> 19:13.105
No way, Zombie Boy.
This was the best birthday of all time.

19:13.855 --> 19:14.938
How?

19:15.021 --> 19:19.230
Number one, friends.
That's kind of a new thing for me.

19:19.313 --> 19:22.646
Two, dangerous adventures in a sewer.

19:22.730 --> 19:25.813
Disgusting, but way more exciting
than Chuck E. Cheese.

19:25.896 --> 19:27.396
And three,

19:27.480 --> 19:29.396
party's not over, class.

19:32.146 --> 19:34.230
Nice. We should've baked a cake.

19:34.313 --> 19:36.688
I'll see your cake and raise you.

19:39.188 --> 19:42.355
The fresh snack
with the snack in the middle.

19:42.438 --> 19:45.938
Stocked up before the Food Mart imploded.

19:46.021 --> 19:47.938
- Nice.
- I'll take one!

19:49.188 --> 19:50.563
Here you go.

19:51.688 --> 19:53.105
It's your birthday too.

19:53.188 --> 19:54.730
Yeah, those are my favorite.

19:54.813 --> 19:57.396
But it's not.

19:57.480 --> 20:02.396
Well, you missed like 13 of them in a row.
It's time to start making them up.

20:03.813 --> 20:07.730
- <i>Happy birthday to you</i>
- <i>Happy birthday to you</i>

20:07.813 --> 20:10.396
<i>Happy birthday, El and Nikki</i>

20:10.480 --> 20:11.980
<i>Head of R&D for H.I.C.</i>

20:12.063 --> 20:14.438
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>

20:31.980 --> 20:34.605
You know
you're supposed to make a wish, right?

20:36.188 --> 20:37.188
I did.

20:37.938 --> 20:39.480
It already came true.

20:39.563 --> 20:41.063
Aw!

20:41.146 --> 20:43.813
I wished I could figure out
how to hurt the Queen,

20:43.896 --> 20:45.896
and I think I have an idea.

20:48.063 --> 20:48.980
Light.

20:49.063 --> 20:53.063
My mom's always talking about
how crazy sensitive plants are to light.

20:53.146 --> 20:55.480
Like if they don't get enough,
then they die?

20:55.563 --> 20:56.521
Exactly.

20:56.605 --> 20:58.646
But those vines live in the sewers.

20:58.730 --> 21:01.563
They're doing just fine,
and there's no light down there.

21:02.146 --> 21:05.355
Yeah, well, that's because
the opposite's also true with plants.

21:05.438 --> 21:06.896
Too much light?

21:10.896 --> 21:12.230
It's not gonna be easy.

21:12.313 --> 21:16.021
Replicating the lumens generated
by that transformer won't be possible

21:16.105 --> 21:17.563
without some serious juice.

21:17.646 --> 21:21.021
Hey, if anyone can figure out
how to replicate the lumens

21:21.105 --> 21:24.271
to make a butt-kicking weapon,
it's gonna be you.

21:25.271 --> 21:27.271
Darn straight, Zombie Boy.

21:27.355 --> 21:30.063
Mike, hand me that 14-gauge copper.

21:32.063 --> 21:34.355
Pliers. Pliers.

21:35.271 --> 21:36.146
Whoa.

21:37.230 --> 21:38.063
Thanks.

21:38.563 --> 21:41.438
Okay, okay, okay.
This is all so awesome for sure,

21:41.521 --> 21:44.271
but I got a little emergency
to deal with first.

21:45.771 --> 21:48.813
Building gear makes me have to go pee.

21:49.396 --> 21:51.605
You waiting for permission?

21:59.646 --> 22:01.105
Your experiment?

22:01.188 --> 22:02.938
That's what you're worried about?

22:03.021 --> 22:05.438
The storm just wiped out
my only source of income.

22:05.521 --> 22:08.480
- That's not the point.
- I don't think you understand.

22:08.563 --> 22:13.063
No, no, no, no, no. That's the problem.
I do understand.

22:13.146 --> 22:15.771
I understand this wasn't part of the plan.

22:15.855 --> 22:20.146
Don't make me do something I will regret.

22:20.230 --> 22:22.188
Um…

22:22.271 --> 22:23.105
Bathroom?

22:23.188 --> 22:25.188
Oh! Hey!

22:25.688 --> 22:30.480
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
It's upstairs, second door on the right.

22:35.438 --> 22:37.813
<i>Happy birthday to you </i>

22:37.896 --> 22:39.813
<i>Happy birthday to me </i>

22:39.896 --> 22:42.563
It's not your birthday, Dustin.

22:42.646 --> 22:45.605
<i>Happy birthday to you </i>

22:59.688 --> 23:00.980
Oh!

23:05.188 --> 23:06.646
Evolution is the process

23:06.730 --> 23:11.063
by which an organism adapts
into an enhanced version of itself.

23:11.605 --> 23:14.813
I could talk about this stuff all day.

23:14.896 --> 23:19.063
Evolution, extinction,
especially extinction.

23:19.730 --> 23:23.396
<i>The fear of extinction</i>
<i>is a great motivator.</i>

23:23.480 --> 23:29.938
<i>Like mushrooms and pine trees.</i>
<i>When they're dying, they release spores.</i>

23:30.021 --> 23:34.730
<i>These spores are gonna ensure</i>
<i>the survival of their species.</i>

23:35.355 --> 23:36.646
Oh no.

23:37.355 --> 23:41.271
Mrs. Baxter is Horde Prime.
