WEBVTT

00:24.396 --> 00:27.896
Oh my god! Oh my god!
What are you guys doing?

00:27.980 --> 00:32.063
Just give us a second, Charlie.
We're trying to make sense of all of this.

00:32.146 --> 00:35.855
You guys think whatever did this
could be from the Upside Down?

00:35.938 --> 00:37.188
No way, Will.

00:37.271 --> 00:40.021
That truck could've just tipped
down the hill on its own.

00:40.105 --> 00:42.521
Tipped on its own? As if.

00:42.605 --> 00:45.105
I'm just not sure this is that logical.

00:45.188 --> 00:48.521
Yeah, I mean, what about the driver?

00:48.605 --> 00:51.438
Truckers don't just abandon their rigs.

00:51.521 --> 00:53.521
This place is haunted, I told you.

00:53.605 --> 00:57.063
We gotta get out of here
before that thing comes back.

00:57.813 --> 00:59.688
Wait, Charlie!

01:02.188 --> 01:04.605
Charlie! Hold on.

01:05.813 --> 01:06.938
Wait!

01:07.021 --> 01:09.563
Charlie, come back here!

01:18.146 --> 01:20.605
Stop, man! Where are you going?

01:20.688 --> 01:23.230
That thing out there wants us dead.

01:23.313 --> 01:25.771
What thing? What wants us dead?

01:25.855 --> 01:27.480
It was just a truck.

01:28.563 --> 01:33.105
Look, last night, my uncle and I were
in these woods and got separated.

01:37.855 --> 01:39.146
Uncle Ernie?

01:47.146 --> 01:48.896
Come on! Get away!

01:57.021 --> 01:58.146
<i>Then…</i>

02:45.021 --> 02:47.438
I'm telling you! It was a ghost.

02:47.521 --> 02:51.271
A ghost? That's dumb. Ghosts aren't real.

02:52.521 --> 02:54.563
You think I'm making this up, Wheeler?

02:54.646 --> 02:58.313
I'm telling you…
something's coming for us.

02:58.396 --> 03:01.688
We're probably already dead! Dead!

03:51.563 --> 03:54.521
Gold mine! We're gonna make bank today.

03:54.605 --> 03:58.480
Nothing says happy Valentine's Day
like a piece of dying vegetation.

03:58.563 --> 04:00.230
You're speaking my language, Baxter.

04:00.313 --> 04:02.480
Yeah. I thought I might be.

04:03.480 --> 04:05.188
They are beautiful.

04:07.646 --> 04:09.605
I guess they're kind of pretty.

04:11.688 --> 04:13.855
Mike did good when he grabbed you one.

04:14.563 --> 04:18.438
You know, I've never seen flowers
bloom in winter like this.

04:18.521 --> 04:20.063
As my mom would tell you,

04:20.146 --> 04:22.480
the world of botany is filled
with all kinds of weird--

04:22.563 --> 04:24.646
Ow!

04:26.063 --> 04:29.896
Ah, these things have thorns?
Should've brought my gloves.

04:30.730 --> 04:32.730
You will not need them.

04:47.063 --> 04:48.271
- What?
- Whoo! Yeah!

04:55.396 --> 04:56.521
I don't know, Mike.

04:56.605 --> 04:59.855
Maybe we were a little too hard on Charlie
last night.

04:59.938 --> 05:01.813
I've never seen anyone that spooked.

05:01.896 --> 05:04.230
Wrong, Lucas, it's all wrong.

05:04.313 --> 05:08.980
Fine. I had never seen anyone that spooked
who wasn't being chased by a Demogorgon.

05:09.063 --> 05:10.438
That's not what I meant.

05:10.521 --> 05:12.855
Your eyeline is wrong,
and that light is too bright,

05:12.938 --> 05:14.396
blowing it all out.

05:16.730 --> 05:18.438
You gotta turn down the gain, Mike.

05:20.730 --> 05:24.438
This is just a video test for our project,
not <i>Citizen Kane.</i>

05:25.021 --> 05:28.563
Okay, guys, listen up. I got a plan.

05:28.646 --> 05:30.813
Your plan better be
the script for our project

05:30.896 --> 05:32.730
you were supposed to write last night.

05:32.813 --> 05:36.980
Oh, right. I'm almost done with that.

05:37.063 --> 05:40.021
Man, I'm not going to summer school
because of you, Dustin.

05:40.105 --> 05:44.563
Why you gotta be such a buzzkill?
I'll start the script tonight.

05:44.646 --> 05:47.146
I mean finish it tonight.

05:47.230 --> 05:51.646
But I think today
we should location scout.

05:51.730 --> 05:56.438
Does "location scout" mean secretly doing
our H.I.C. investigation at the same time?

05:56.521 --> 06:03.105
What? That's a great idea, Will.
Very efficient. Glad you thought of it.

06:03.188 --> 06:05.605
We'll head out into the woods
after school today

06:05.688 --> 06:09.938
to where Samuel Hawkins laid
the first foundations of our great town.

06:13.063 --> 06:17.063
What? Don't you three care
about our history project?

06:22.980 --> 06:26.480
Man, that was so rad.

06:26.563 --> 06:29.271
If I could do what she does,
I'd get in so much trouble.

06:29.355 --> 06:32.980
Seriously, her self-restraint is intense.

06:33.063 --> 06:34.063
Yes!

06:36.146 --> 06:38.021
Whoa! It's freezing.

06:38.105 --> 06:39.271
It's perfect.

06:39.355 --> 06:42.605
This'll definitely keep the flowers fresh
until we sell them.

06:42.688 --> 06:45.896
Dude, I gotta say,
this was one killer idea. Phew.

06:45.980 --> 06:49.021
I didn't know what I was gonna do…
without my amp.

06:49.105 --> 06:50.355
You're saving my butt here.

06:50.438 --> 06:53.771
Hey, it's my pleasure. Amps aren't cheap.

06:56.646 --> 07:01.230
Let's just move some of this mystery meat
so Lunch Lady Phyllis doesn't--

07:01.313 --> 07:04.313
Hey, what the heck
do you girls think you're doing?

07:04.396 --> 07:05.521
Oh! Uh…

07:05.605 --> 07:07.688
Hi, Miss Lunch Lady Phyllis.

07:07.771 --> 07:10.396
We were totally gonna ask permission
to put these flowers--

07:10.480 --> 07:13.855
Not gonna happen, cactus head.
Not on school grounds.

07:15.063 --> 07:16.480
Oh, come on.

07:16.563 --> 07:18.230
It's for Valentine's Day.

07:18.313 --> 07:20.521
Yeah, who doesn't love Valentine's Day?

07:20.605 --> 07:21.688
Vermin.

07:21.771 --> 07:24.271
Vermin don't love Valentine's Day.

07:24.355 --> 07:29.313
Oh, but they love sneaking into
school grounds on unauthorized plants.

07:29.396 --> 07:32.605
Miss Phyllis, I swear,
these flowers are squeaky clean.

07:32.688 --> 07:35.063
You wanna be the one
to explain a cockroach outbreak

07:35.146 --> 07:36.813
to the state health inspector?

07:36.896 --> 07:39.938
- But…
- Get them out of here!

07:43.688 --> 07:45.021
Valentine's. Pfft.

07:52.521 --> 07:55.230
The kitchen was the only cool,
dry place in this whole dump,

07:55.313 --> 07:57.896
and now these Valentine's flowers
are just gonna die.

07:57.980 --> 08:01.063
This is the absolute worst.

08:01.146 --> 08:03.396
Selling those flowers
was really gonna help out.

08:03.480 --> 08:05.938
If I can't figure out a way
to bring in some cash…

08:06.021 --> 08:11.188
Listen, this isn't the end of the road
for your amp or whatever, okay?

08:11.271 --> 08:12.605
We'll come up with something else.

08:16.063 --> 08:17.938
Hey you, new girl.

08:18.938 --> 08:20.521
Hey you, sorta new girl.

08:20.605 --> 08:23.105
You guys wanna sign my petition
for the DARE program?

08:23.188 --> 08:24.688
Not in the mood.

08:24.771 --> 08:29.146
Listen, I overheard you guys need a place
to store some flowers, right?

08:29.730 --> 08:31.230
Right.

08:31.313 --> 08:35.021
Student body president gets access
to a lot of off-limits stuff.

08:35.105 --> 08:38.521
Storage shed's pretty cool and dry
this time of year.

08:39.521 --> 08:40.646
Sweet. Thanks.

08:40.730 --> 08:42.563
Uh-uh, not so fast.

08:42.646 --> 08:46.646
Ten percent of your sales,
these keys are yours. Deal?

08:47.313 --> 08:49.438
Welcome to my good side, Rosario.

08:49.521 --> 08:51.063
You got yourself a deal.

09:06.771 --> 09:08.271
Pre-order forms.

09:08.355 --> 09:10.563
Whoa, how'd you make so many of these?

09:10.646 --> 09:12.063
Teacher's lounge photocopier.

09:12.146 --> 09:14.438
Sneaky. I like it.

09:14.521 --> 09:17.730
Hey, whoa.
You sure you wanna be the one selling?

09:17.813 --> 09:21.438
How many people are gonna wanna buy
from the Valentine's Day Grinch?

09:21.521 --> 09:25.438
You don't have to be Cupid to play Cupid.
Trust me.

09:25.521 --> 09:27.021
Hey, random kid.

09:28.230 --> 09:31.438
You know what tomorrow is?
It's do-or-die day.

09:31.521 --> 09:34.355
February 14th,
the one socially mandated shot

09:34.438 --> 09:36.355
you've got each year to prove to the world

09:36.438 --> 09:39.563
that you're not a discarded, unlovable wad
of chewed up gum.

09:40.521 --> 09:42.438
Nikki, what's all this?

09:42.521 --> 09:45.105
Hey. My amp's busted,

09:45.188 --> 09:47.771
so we're selling flowers
to scrape some cash together.

09:47.855 --> 09:49.146
You want in on this?

09:49.230 --> 09:52.813
And get caught in between
the Lucas-Max war? No, thank you.

09:52.896 --> 09:55.438
You are a smart man, Zombie Boy.

09:56.021 --> 09:58.396
You see this? It's a miracle flower.

09:58.480 --> 10:00.438
Sending one of these bad boys to someone

10:00.521 --> 10:03.355
would immediately turn them
into a special someone.

10:03.438 --> 10:04.438
What do you say?

10:05.063 --> 10:07.355
Mmm. Yeah, I don't know.

10:07.438 --> 10:09.146
Did I mention they glow in the dark?

10:10.105 --> 10:11.313
Huh.

10:11.396 --> 10:12.771
Yeah, cool.

10:12.855 --> 10:14.063
Excellent choice.

10:14.146 --> 10:17.230
Your Valentine's Day
is going to be awesome.

10:17.313 --> 10:18.730
Now, how about you?

10:18.813 --> 10:20.313
Dude, you got a chance now.

10:23.396 --> 10:26.855
So if you pre-order three flowers now,
we'll throw in an extra one for free.

10:26.938 --> 10:30.730
And trust me, nothing says love
like a full bouquet.

10:30.813 --> 10:32.105
I'll take one.

10:32.188 --> 10:33.355
Hey, I'll take two.

10:33.438 --> 10:34.605
How's the movie coming?

10:34.688 --> 10:37.313
It's turned into
another H.I.C. investigation.

10:37.396 --> 10:39.605
Dustin won't drop it, will he?

10:39.688 --> 10:41.730
This one might actually be something.

10:41.813 --> 10:45.146
Whoa, okay. We gotta catch up.

10:45.230 --> 10:48.313
Gotta go meet up with the guys. Later.

10:49.188 --> 10:52.605
Slight hiccup.
We pre-sold more flowers than we picked.

10:52.688 --> 10:55.938
Okay, so we just go grab El
and go back for more?

10:56.021 --> 10:58.563
Uh, can't today. Detention.

10:58.646 --> 10:59.896
What? Why?

10:59.980 --> 11:04.396
I didn't exactly get away
with using the teacher's lounge copier.

11:04.480 --> 11:06.146
Yeah, Mr. Bahari walked in.

11:06.730 --> 11:09.146
You're so punk, Max.

11:12.896 --> 11:15.813
I'm just saying,
for someone who hates Valentine's Day,

11:15.896 --> 11:17.813
she looked pretty comfortable selling it.

11:17.896 --> 11:19.188
Would you give it a rest?

11:19.271 --> 11:22.063
We've got more important things
to focus on.

11:22.146 --> 11:25.438
Dustin's right. Our history project's due
in just a few days.

11:25.521 --> 11:27.896
We still have to find a location,
finish the script,

11:27.980 --> 11:31.938
and if we don't nail the performances,
we can kiss our passing grades goodbye.

11:32.021 --> 11:33.938
Acting, Lucas! Your craft.

11:34.563 --> 11:35.646
Ha ha!

11:35.730 --> 11:37.146
Let's see how much you're laughing

11:37.230 --> 11:39.188
when my performance
is raking in the awards.

11:39.271 --> 11:43.605
Whatever you'll be raking in,
I don't think it's awards.

11:44.896 --> 11:47.438
And here's your 10%, as promised.

11:47.521 --> 11:48.480
Hm.

11:48.563 --> 11:50.980
Pleasure doing business
with you, Mayfield.

11:52.938 --> 11:55.021
Come on, Lucas, let's go.

11:55.105 --> 11:57.646
Hey, Will, how'd you do on that pop quiz?

11:57.730 --> 12:00.146
- Probably failed.
- Yeah, me too.

12:01.146 --> 12:03.188
Did you guys
catch <i>A-Team </i>last week?

12:03.271 --> 12:04.896
It was awesome, right?

12:05.563 --> 12:07.105
Murdock's my favorite.

12:07.188 --> 12:08.438
Huh. No surprise there.

12:08.521 --> 12:11.355
Har, har.

12:19.688 --> 12:21.813
Miss Phyllis? What is it? What's wrong?

12:21.896 --> 12:27.896
You, you and your friend did this.
You brought those things into my kitchen.

12:27.980 --> 12:29.688
What things?

12:31.480 --> 12:33.063
Ah!

12:40.021 --> 12:41.230
Miss Phyllis!

12:46.855 --> 12:47.938
Look out!

12:56.896 --> 12:58.230
Ew!

12:58.313 --> 13:00.021
What are these things?

13:02.688 --> 13:05.188
An infestation, that's what they are.

13:05.938 --> 13:07.355
Ah! Ah!

13:07.438 --> 13:09.313
Nasty thing! Get out of here.

13:38.355 --> 13:42.396
I told you there'd be vermin.
Those dang flowers were riddled with them.

13:42.480 --> 13:44.563
The flowers. Oh no.

13:44.646 --> 13:46.396
I catch you in here again,

13:46.480 --> 13:49.563
you'll be scrubbing dishes
till graduation.

13:52.605 --> 13:54.980
Greetings. It is I, Samuel Hawkins,

13:55.063 --> 13:56.313
founder of your town.

13:56.396 --> 14:01.563
<i>I did many historic things,</i>
<i>including, uh, founding the town,</i>

14:01.646 --> 14:05.855
<i>and building log cabins,</i>
<i>and churning butter, maybe.</i>

14:05.938 --> 14:10.146
Um, I'm pretty sure Samuel Hawkins
didn't have a British accent,

14:10.230 --> 14:12.271
you know, 'cause he was born in Indiana.

14:12.355 --> 14:17.146
A British accent says oldie-timey.
It feels right, like <i>Amadeus.</i>

14:17.230 --> 14:19.646
No one cares about accuracy
if it feels right.

14:19.730 --> 14:23.771
Oh yeah,
no one except our history teacher.

14:23.855 --> 14:27.771
You know, Samuel Hawkins did more
than build cabins.

14:27.855 --> 14:29.230
He revitalized the town

14:29.313 --> 14:34.230
after that Bloodaxe Bill guy
caused the silver mine explosion of 1892.

14:34.313 --> 14:35.521
How fascinating.

14:35.605 --> 14:40.021
I bet I'd know all about that
if I had a script.

14:40.563 --> 14:43.230
You sure this costume's right?

14:43.313 --> 14:45.396
Weren't these wigs
for judges or something?

14:45.480 --> 14:48.896
It was the only wig the drama club had.
Oh, and don't forget…

14:49.521 --> 14:51.646
Samuel Hawkins' famous signet ring.

14:52.855 --> 14:54.271
That's just a Ring Pop.

14:54.355 --> 14:56.646
At least carve SH into it.

14:56.730 --> 14:58.646
Trust the process, Mike.

14:58.730 --> 15:00.521
There, there!

15:00.605 --> 15:02.688
Look at the damage on the bark!

15:02.771 --> 15:04.230
And there!

15:04.313 --> 15:07.480
Only Charlie Dandridge has such bad taste
in hats.

15:07.563 --> 15:11.688
This is exactly where he told us
he got slammed into a tree.

15:11.771 --> 15:14.771
Who puts the "investigator" in the H.I.C.?

15:15.813 --> 15:19.730
If Charlie started here
and ended up at that hunting blind,

15:19.813 --> 15:21.146
we can trace his path

15:21.230 --> 15:23.938
and see where he saw
that paranormal presence.

15:24.021 --> 15:27.105
You mean ghost? Come on, he was lying.

15:27.188 --> 15:30.355
None of these H.I.C. investigations
even pan out anymore.

15:30.438 --> 15:31.396
Hey!

15:31.480 --> 15:34.313
Yeah, and ghosts aren't real.

15:34.396 --> 15:36.063
Ooooh!

15:36.146 --> 15:40.646
I'm the spirit of Samuel Hawkins,
back from the dead!

15:40.730 --> 15:44.063
Ha ha. So funny, I forgot to laugh.

15:44.146 --> 15:46.730
Don't tell me
you've still got that thing about ghosts.

15:46.813 --> 15:48.813
I never had a thing about ghosts.

15:48.896 --> 15:50.355
What thing about ghosts?

15:50.438 --> 15:53.521
His dad once tried
to take him and his sister to see <i>E.T.,</i>

15:53.605 --> 15:57.271
but it was sold out,
so they saw <i>Poltergeist.</i>

15:57.355 --> 15:59.063
Ruined Mike's life.

15:59.146 --> 16:04.771
Oh yeah! And Nancy got really into it.
Ouija boards and stuff.

16:04.855 --> 16:07.730
She was some kind of expert, right?

16:07.813 --> 16:10.146
I don't know. I don't remember.

16:10.230 --> 16:13.896
Come on, guys.
I'm pretty sure Mike's over his dumb fears

16:13.980 --> 16:15.855
from a movie he saw in the fifth grade.

16:15.938 --> 16:17.355
Jackpot!

16:17.438 --> 16:19.938
Ho, ho, ho! Breadcrumbs!

16:20.021 --> 16:23.021
Stolen arcade breadcrumbs!

16:25.646 --> 16:28.563
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't touch that! It's evidence!

16:28.646 --> 16:30.730
It's free games, Dustin.

16:36.355 --> 16:38.771
Looks like Charlie came through here.

16:38.855 --> 16:43.188
This is actually a good location
for our video.

16:45.438 --> 16:47.813
The silver mine's around here somewhere.

17:04.771 --> 17:08.021
Hey, guys, I think we found it.

17:11.896 --> 17:13.938
Isn't it supposed to be boarded up?

17:14.021 --> 17:16.438
Looks like some kids broke in
or something.

17:16.521 --> 17:20.521
Why you always gotta blame the kids?
Adults vandalize too, you know.

17:21.938 --> 17:23.063
Hold on.

17:23.980 --> 17:25.855
No one broke in.

17:26.646 --> 17:28.271
Someone broke out.

17:34.855 --> 17:37.396
Yeah, okay. That is weird.

17:37.480 --> 17:41.063
We absolutely have to check that out.

17:41.146 --> 17:42.438
Do we, though?

17:42.521 --> 17:45.605
I knew it!
You <i>do </i>still have your thing about ghosts.

17:45.688 --> 17:49.355
No! It's just not safe in there.

17:49.438 --> 17:51.605
Do you really wanna go
through old mine tunnels

17:51.688 --> 17:54.563
like you're in <i>Temple of Doom?</i>

17:55.521 --> 18:01.438
Of course I do!
Just call me Hawkins Indiana… Jones!

18:01.521 --> 18:04.438
At some point,
you're gonna have to retire that joke.

18:04.521 --> 18:07.730
But not today, my friend. Not today.

18:09.105 --> 18:09.938
Dustin.

18:10.021 --> 18:16.813
Mike, it doesn't get more historic
than this. We're talking A plus, easy.

18:30.605 --> 18:32.146
Isn't this place dangerous?

18:32.230 --> 18:34.980
You know,
filled with natural gas or something?

18:37.855 --> 18:39.813
That was 100 years ago.

18:39.896 --> 18:41.521
Whoa, check it out.

18:42.313 --> 18:44.813
There's still some olden-day tools
down here.

18:46.771 --> 18:49.313
Get a photo. Might be evidence.

18:49.396 --> 18:52.938
I mean history project research.

18:53.021 --> 18:56.355
We should film this stuff too.
Actual Hawkins historic items.

19:02.021 --> 19:04.105
That's what we heard outside.

19:19.813 --> 19:24.021
Um, you all saw that, right?

19:24.730 --> 19:25.855
Come on.

19:36.855 --> 19:40.063
You know, there are lots
of other historical places in Hawkins.

19:40.146 --> 19:42.563
The old cabin, Coverdale Creek,

19:42.646 --> 19:45.105
even what's left
of that one-room schoolhouse.

19:47.896 --> 19:52.021
Spots that aren't, like,
completely and totally--

19:52.105 --> 19:53.105
Mike!

19:54.063 --> 19:55.188
- Mike!
- Whoa!

19:56.063 --> 19:57.063
Mike!

20:00.438 --> 20:03.355
I'm telling you, I've seen
this kind of a thing a million times.

20:03.438 --> 20:04.521
Give it a few days,

20:04.605 --> 20:07.771
Max and Lucas will be back together
like they never split.

20:07.855 --> 20:11.563
But if they still like each other,
why would they break up?

20:12.355 --> 20:14.063
Man, people are weird.

20:14.146 --> 20:17.063
They don't say what they mean,
and they don't mean what they say.

20:17.146 --> 20:19.605
My advice? Games are garbage.

20:19.688 --> 20:23.730
You want something? You ask for it.
You get it. Bing, bam, boom.

20:23.813 --> 20:25.646
Stop! Get out of there!

20:26.688 --> 20:27.521
Max?

20:27.605 --> 20:29.855
Whoa, what the--
What the heck is going on?

20:30.855 --> 20:32.771
There were these glowing creature things.

20:32.855 --> 20:35.021
- Where?
- At school. They must have come from--

20:37.230 --> 20:39.021
These flowers.

20:41.230 --> 20:43.230
Ah!

20:49.646 --> 20:52.563
What is that?

21:03.646 --> 21:05.521
Mike! Mike!

21:05.605 --> 21:07.230
- Mike!
- Mike!

21:07.313 --> 21:09.646
I'm… I'm here.

21:11.021 --> 21:15.480
Got the wind knocked out of me,
but I'm okay.

21:18.230 --> 21:19.313
Dammit.

21:20.230 --> 21:21.230
Come on.

21:24.188 --> 21:26.688
Just sit tight.
We'll get you out of there.

21:27.480 --> 21:28.313
There.

21:28.396 --> 21:30.313
Help me get this rope off the wall.

21:39.063 --> 21:41.855
Guys! There's something down here with me!

21:42.646 --> 21:43.646
Don't panic!

21:43.730 --> 21:47.813
Remember! Red and black, friend of Jack.

21:47.896 --> 21:51.230
Red and yellow, deadly fellow.

21:51.313 --> 21:54.105
I… I don't think it's a snake.

21:54.980 --> 21:56.563
Ah!

22:36.105 --> 22:37.355
We're coming!

22:38.813 --> 22:40.521
Grab on the rope!

22:40.605 --> 22:42.855
We got you, man. We got you!

22:45.605 --> 22:46.605
Come on.

22:53.605 --> 22:56.563
Mike! What's happening? Are you okay?

22:57.146 --> 22:58.646
Something's down there!
