00:00:19.105 --> 00:00:21.438 align:center
Come on! Come on! Go!

00:00:27.938 --> 00:00:28.938 align:center
Go!

00:00:33.771 --> 00:00:35.771 align:center
Come on! Come on! Go! Go!

00:00:37.771 --> 00:00:42.646 align:center
Oh my gosh! Oh my god! What is going on?

00:00:48.355 --> 00:00:49.355 align:center
Whoa!

00:01:01.355 --> 00:01:03.230 align:center
- Where'd it go?
- Whoa!

00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.771 align:center
What was that?

00:01:05.855 --> 00:01:09.855 align:center
A ghost! A freaking ghost!

00:01:09.938 --> 00:01:11.438 align:center
That's what I've been saying!

00:01:11.521 --> 00:01:13.605 align:center
We need to get out of here
before it comes back!

00:01:13.688 --> 00:01:15.438 align:center
Don't have to ask me twice!

00:02:05.771 --> 00:02:08.480 align:center
What… What are those things?

00:02:08.563 --> 00:02:11.021 align:center
It's more of those Hate Sprites!

00:02:12.605 --> 00:02:14.605 align:center
What do we do?

00:02:15.646 --> 00:02:18.146 align:center
Just back away slowly.

00:02:18.855 --> 00:02:20.521 align:center
Can they hurt us?

00:02:20.605 --> 00:02:22.646 align:center
Yes, very much so.

00:02:24.438 --> 00:02:25.646 align:center
This is crazy!

00:02:34.355 --> 00:02:36.355 align:center
Whoa. Uh…

00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:42.105 align:center
Oh no!

00:02:47.896 --> 00:02:49.521 align:center
- No!
- Run!

00:02:49.605 --> 00:02:52.438 align:center
Get off of me, you overgrown housefly!

00:02:59.521 --> 00:03:01.230 align:center
Get off of me! Get--

00:03:03.188 --> 00:03:05.688 align:center
Max! No!

00:03:10.730 --> 00:03:11.938 align:center
El!

00:03:14.813 --> 00:03:17.063 align:center
Leave her alone!

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:37.521 align:center
El!

00:04:09.521 --> 00:04:11.771 align:center
What the… What the heck?

00:04:11.855 --> 00:04:15.313 align:center
Did… Did those things come
from the flowers or something?

00:04:15.396 --> 00:04:16.605 align:center
They must have.

00:04:18.688 --> 00:04:21.480 align:center
Do you think they're from the Upside Down?

00:04:23.188 --> 00:04:24.813 align:center
I do not know.

00:04:25.438 --> 00:04:29.105 align:center
Whatever they are,
we gotta tell the others.

00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:45.730 align:center
Did we lose it?

00:04:46.646 --> 00:04:47.813 align:center
I think we're good.

00:04:48.646 --> 00:04:50.980 align:center
Oh my god! Oh my god!

00:04:51.063 --> 00:04:55.355 align:center
This could be The H.I.C.'s first contact
with the afterlife!

00:04:55.438 --> 00:04:59.730 align:center
We have to record every interaction,
take meticulous notes, and…

00:04:59.813 --> 00:05:01.938 align:center
Are you, like, okay?

00:05:02.021 --> 00:05:03.105 align:center
Yeah. I'm fine.

00:05:03.188 --> 00:05:06.730 align:center
Mike, you have to walk us
through your encounter. In detail.

00:05:06.813 --> 00:05:08.230 align:center
What? No.

00:05:08.313 --> 00:05:11.605 align:center
It's for science! For posterity!

00:05:11.688 --> 00:05:13.980 align:center
I'm gonna kick your posterity
if you keep asking.

00:05:14.063 --> 00:05:16.438 align:center
Whoa! Guys, come on. Just cool it!

00:05:17.646 --> 00:05:20.688 align:center
Here, whatever detail you want,
it's in there.

00:05:20.771 --> 00:05:22.480 align:center
You got pics?

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:26.146 align:center
I was just trying to see in the dark.

00:05:27.021 --> 00:05:28.938 align:center
Yeah. Doesn't look like much.

00:05:29.021 --> 00:05:30.605 align:center
Hold on. Hold on.

00:05:30.688 --> 00:05:32.396 align:center
- What?
- Whoa.

00:05:33.396 --> 00:05:34.938 align:center
Is that a dead guy?

00:05:35.021 --> 00:05:39.105 align:center
He's not just dead. Look, he was murdered.

00:05:39.605 --> 00:05:41.105 align:center
There's one more picture.

00:05:43.271 --> 00:05:45.188 align:center
That just looks like a blurry light.

00:05:45.271 --> 00:05:46.938 align:center
But we all know it's not.

00:05:47.021 --> 00:05:49.230 align:center
Look at the color of that pickaxe.

00:05:49.313 --> 00:05:51.230 align:center
Is that silver?

00:05:52.188 --> 00:05:55.396 align:center
This guy was killed by Bloodaxe Bill.

00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.938 align:center
No wonder he's haunting the mine.
He has unfinished business.

00:06:00.146 --> 00:06:05.271 align:center
I'm sorry it comes down to this,
but I know what we have to do here.

00:06:05.355 --> 00:06:06.188 align:center
What?

00:06:06.771 --> 00:06:08.146 align:center
Our homework.

00:06:15.521 --> 00:06:18.688 align:center
A ghost? You dorks cannot be serious.

00:06:18.771 --> 00:06:21.271 align:center
This is not the time
to live out your <i>Ghostbuster </i>fantasies.

00:06:21.355 --> 00:06:24.146 align:center
But I saw it. It was as close as you are.

00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:25.938 align:center
Ghosts are real?

00:06:26.021 --> 00:06:27.188 align:center
- Yes.
- No.

00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:31.688 align:center
If they aren't real, then explain that.

00:06:33.938 --> 00:06:35.396 align:center
What is that, your thumb?

00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.480 align:center
I can't believe
you're wasting time on a campfire story.

00:06:38.563 --> 00:06:41.896 align:center
Bloodaxe Bill? Haunted mines?
Do you hear yourselves?

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:44.855 align:center
The Upside Down
has always been our problem.

00:06:45.521 --> 00:06:47.730 align:center
It's still our problem.

00:06:47.813 --> 00:06:51.021 align:center
Those flowers have Upside Down
written all over them.

00:06:51.105 --> 00:06:52.396 align:center
The Hate Sprites too.

00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.188 align:center
We're not really saying
this is the Upside Down again, are we?

00:06:55.271 --> 00:06:58.605 align:center
Last month, this town was crawling
with spore-y plant creatures.

00:06:58.688 --> 00:07:01.896 align:center
Now there are Murder Flowers
and Hate Sprites on the loose.

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:04.396 align:center
Ooh, scary flowers. Heh.

00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.146 align:center
Guess I gotta cancel my order
at the florist.

00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:10.230 align:center
Florist? The flowers.

00:07:10.313 --> 00:07:12.813 align:center
One plus one equals the Upside Down.

00:07:12.896 --> 00:07:14.980 align:center
And if there is one thing
The H.I.C. tackles,

00:07:15.063 --> 00:07:16.980 align:center
it is the freaking Upside Down.

00:07:17.063 --> 00:07:18.605 align:center
- Max?
- Oh, come on.

00:07:18.688 --> 00:07:19.521 align:center
Max!

00:07:19.605 --> 00:07:22.563 align:center
No, you! Come on!
Do you want me to dump you again?

00:07:22.646 --> 00:07:23.938 align:center
Yeah, right!

00:07:24.021 --> 00:07:27.521 align:center
Max! The Hate Sprites live
in the flowers, right?

00:07:27.605 --> 00:07:28.938 align:center
Right.

00:07:29.021 --> 00:07:30.438 align:center
Flowers.

00:07:30.521 --> 00:07:33.188 align:center
Like the ones we stashed at school.

00:07:35.355 --> 00:07:37.855 align:center
Um, did we say Code Red?

00:07:37.938 --> 00:07:42.313 align:center
This isn't a Code Red.
It's a golden opportunity.

00:07:42.396 --> 00:07:46.646 align:center
Don't you see?
The H.I.C. has two cases at the same time.

00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:50.896 align:center
This is what we've been building towards,
what we've dreamed of.

00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:54.688 align:center
We can't just let this chance pass us by.
Two cases means that--

00:07:54.771 --> 00:07:55.688 align:center
We split up.

00:07:55.771 --> 00:07:58.563 align:center
Yeah, we'll take the school
and the Hate Sprites.

00:07:58.646 --> 00:08:03.230 align:center
Team Two, we'll stay on Bloodaxe Bill.
He's already claimed one victim,

00:08:03.313 --> 00:08:08.438 align:center
so we all have to figure out a way
to stop him before he takes another. Okay?

00:08:09.855 --> 00:08:11.605 align:center
- Fine.
- Sure.

00:08:13.063 --> 00:08:15.396 align:center
Great, let's roll. We're wasting time.

00:08:21.105 --> 00:08:23.355 align:center
Maybe I'm on Team One this time.

00:08:24.396 --> 00:08:29.271 align:center
I mean, the girls might need my help
carrying all those flowers.

00:08:29.355 --> 00:08:32.980 align:center
Rad, okay. We could use another set
of hands on flower-thrashing duty.

00:08:33.563 --> 00:08:35.730 align:center
Come on, Mike.
You're not getting out of research

00:08:35.813 --> 00:08:37.813 align:center
- just 'cause you're scared of ghosts.
- What?

00:08:37.896 --> 00:08:41.355 align:center
This isn't a field trip, Lucas.
He doesn't need a permission slip.

00:08:41.438 --> 00:08:43.438 align:center
Well, are you coming or what?

00:08:45.105 --> 00:08:47.063 align:center
Traitor.

00:08:51.438 --> 00:08:55.896 align:center
Murder Flowers, killer Hate Sprites,
mineshaft ghosts.

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:58.438 align:center
Heck, even the pumpkin pies were evil.

00:08:58.521 --> 00:09:01.646 align:center
Max, one new kid to another,
have you ever considered…?

00:09:01.730 --> 00:09:06.396 align:center
Yeah, how completely nuts this town is?
So many times.

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.438 align:center
So, the flower I gave you was…

00:09:11.521 --> 00:09:12.646 align:center
A Murder Flower.

00:09:13.146 --> 00:09:19.396 align:center
I am so sorry. I owe you
another one, a non-murder one.

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.480 align:center
You do not owe me anything, Mike.

00:09:23.271 --> 00:09:27.063 align:center
I just wanted to get you something nice.

00:09:27.146 --> 00:09:30.855 align:center
I… I… I always want
to get you nice things.

00:09:30.938 --> 00:09:33.605 align:center
Sometimes words are not enough?

00:09:34.188 --> 00:09:37.271 align:center
Yeah? I mean, yeah.

00:09:37.355 --> 00:09:42.146 align:center
I mean, I guess
what I'm trying to say, to ask, is

00:09:42.230 --> 00:09:47.146 align:center
you're so cool,
and so great, and so… brave.

00:09:49.146 --> 00:09:52.355 align:center
Mike, you wanted to ask something?

00:09:52.438 --> 00:09:56.230 align:center
I… No. It's… It's just…

00:09:56.313 --> 00:09:57.980 align:center
We'll talk about it later.

00:10:16.688 --> 00:10:19.688 align:center
None of this actually explains
who that skeleton was,

00:10:19.771 --> 00:10:21.855 align:center
or why Bloodaxe Bill axed him,

00:10:21.938 --> 00:10:25.313 align:center
because that definitely didn't happen
in any explosion.

00:10:25.396 --> 00:10:27.896 align:center
I'm not finding anything either.

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:31.563 align:center
Maybe there's a missing page somewhere.

00:10:32.938 --> 00:10:38.063 align:center
Or… Or maybe we need
to decode a secret message.

00:10:38.146 --> 00:10:40.063 align:center
That feels like a stretch.

00:10:40.146 --> 00:10:41.855 align:center
"Where's the silver pickaxe?"

00:10:41.938 --> 00:10:43.605 align:center
It's still stuck in the skeleton.

00:10:43.688 --> 00:10:47.563 align:center
No, look. Somebody wrote
all over the margins of this book.

00:10:47.646 --> 00:10:51.271 align:center
"The curse…" Something.

00:10:51.355 --> 00:10:55.771 align:center
"…never be lifted until…" Something.

00:10:55.855 --> 00:10:56.896 align:center
"…the truth"?

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:58.438 align:center
"Curse."

00:10:58.521 --> 00:11:01.188 align:center
Didn't Charlie mention something
about a curse?

00:11:01.271 --> 00:11:06.480 align:center
Okay. While you all know that
I do not condone defacing library books,

00:11:06.563 --> 00:11:10.188 align:center
it's clear whoever wrote this
has information we need.

00:11:10.271 --> 00:11:12.521 align:center
We should find and question…

00:11:12.605 --> 00:11:13.980 align:center
"AMD."

00:11:15.646 --> 00:11:17.188 align:center
Is that enough?

00:11:17.938 --> 00:11:19.563 align:center
Enough for a start.

00:11:19.646 --> 00:11:21.438 align:center
That's a lead. Let's go.

00:11:22.855 --> 00:11:25.188 align:center
Do you think Mrs. Wheeler would let us
use her phone book?

00:11:25.271 --> 00:11:26.188 align:center
Probably.

00:11:35.105 --> 00:11:38.313 align:center
4872 Barnum. This is it.

00:11:42.563 --> 00:11:45.188 align:center
Looks like a place McGruff the Crime Dog
would warn us about.

00:11:45.271 --> 00:11:51.396 align:center
Oh, come on. This is The H.I.C.
We laugh in the face of danger.

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.105 align:center
Onwards, champions.

00:11:56.313 --> 00:12:00.271 align:center
But maybe, you know,
be careful with what you touch.

00:12:15.896 --> 00:12:16.938 align:center
Uh…

00:12:17.021 --> 00:12:20.146 align:center
Good evening, sir.
Do you have a moment to discuss--

00:12:20.230 --> 00:12:21.605 align:center
I gave at the office.

00:12:24.605 --> 00:12:26.063 align:center
Is this your handwriting?

00:12:27.563 --> 00:12:28.938 align:center
Who wants to know?

00:12:29.021 --> 00:12:31.563 align:center
Just a couple kids interested
in the truth.

00:12:35.605 --> 00:12:37.646 align:center
Tsk. Jeez.

00:12:40.271 --> 00:12:42.146 align:center
Get in here. Quick.

00:12:53.355 --> 00:12:57.021 align:center
So what do we do if the shed's, like,
swarming with those things?

00:12:57.105 --> 00:13:00.021 align:center
Close the door and run?
Set the place on fire?

00:13:00.813 --> 00:13:03.355 align:center
You should've seen
how fast we ran out of that mine.

00:13:03.438 --> 00:13:05.146 align:center
I think we broke the sound barrier.

00:13:05.230 --> 00:13:06.646 align:center
Adrenaline.

00:13:06.730 --> 00:13:07.813 align:center
Adrenaline?

00:13:07.896 --> 00:13:10.813 align:center
Yeah, when you get scared,
your brain produces adrenaline.

00:13:10.896 --> 00:13:14.521 align:center
It lets people do impossible things.
Big energy boost.

00:13:27.896 --> 00:13:31.563 align:center
Speaking of boosts,
we should have brought our knickknacks.

00:13:32.521 --> 00:13:36.688 align:center
No matter what happens, I can protect us.

00:13:54.230 --> 00:13:57.355 align:center
So, Mr. AMD…

00:13:57.438 --> 00:13:58.271 align:center
Arthur.

00:13:58.355 --> 00:13:59.855 align:center
Oh. Uh…

00:13:59.938 --> 00:14:02.438 align:center
Nice to meet you, Arthur.

00:14:02.521 --> 00:14:07.605 align:center
My name's Dustin. This is Will and Lucas.
We go to Hawkins Middle School.

00:14:07.688 --> 00:14:13.980 align:center
And we're doing a local history report
about Samuel Hawkins and Bloodaxe Bill.

00:14:14.063 --> 00:14:16.063 align:center
Local history?

00:14:16.146 --> 00:14:18.771 align:center
Bah! More like local garbage.

00:14:19.730 --> 00:14:22.688 align:center
This town has never cared about the truth.

00:14:22.771 --> 00:14:24.813 align:center
Not as long as the money kept flowing.

00:14:25.771 --> 00:14:28.063 align:center
These are your notes, then?

00:14:28.146 --> 00:14:31.771 align:center
I'm the only one who cares
to correct all the lies they print.

00:14:33.146 --> 00:14:38.813 align:center
History is written by the victors, right?
My family ain't the victors.

00:14:38.896 --> 00:14:43.480 align:center
That's what we're here for.
We want someone to tell us the real truth.

00:14:57.063 --> 00:14:58.813 align:center
What's the use?

00:14:58.896 --> 00:15:03.063 align:center
Everyone believes Bloodaxe Bill
was nothing but a silver-mad monster

00:15:03.146 --> 00:15:05.688 align:center
whose greed got good men killed.

00:15:05.771 --> 00:15:07.105 align:center
Try us.

00:15:17.938 --> 00:15:20.188 align:center
Fine. You want the truth?

00:15:20.813 --> 00:15:23.980 align:center
Bloodaxe Bill wasn't no villain.

00:15:24.063 --> 00:15:26.230 align:center
That's why he was murdered.

00:15:26.813 --> 00:15:27.813 align:center
Murdered?

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:05.146 align:center
Um, I'm not seeing any Hate Sprites.

00:16:05.730 --> 00:16:08.146 align:center
I… I guess we're okay, then.

00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:11.063 align:center
So, how are we gonna do this?

00:16:18.146 --> 00:16:19.980 align:center
I'm thinking like this.

00:16:25.313 --> 00:16:27.480 align:center
Murdered? But that skeleton,

00:16:27.563 --> 00:16:30.563 align:center
it had Bloodaxe Bill's silver pickaxe
in its chest.

00:16:30.646 --> 00:16:32.688 align:center
We thought it must've been
one of his victims,

00:16:32.771 --> 00:16:34.688 align:center
someone who tried to stop him

00:16:34.771 --> 00:16:38.313 align:center
before he made his men dig too deep
and blew up the whole mine.

00:16:38.396 --> 00:16:39.813 align:center
Bah!

00:16:39.896 --> 00:16:41.480 align:center
Lies, I tell ya.

00:16:45.105 --> 00:16:50.771 align:center
If there's a skeleton in that mine,
then it's Bloodaxe himself.

00:16:50.855 --> 00:16:54.105 align:center
Don't you see?
He didn't cause no explosion.

00:16:54.188 --> 00:17:00.730 align:center
His only crime was caring for his miners
and trusting the wrong man,

00:17:00.813 --> 00:17:04.480 align:center
his friend, his murderer,

00:17:04.563 --> 00:17:07.438 align:center
Samuel Hawkins himself!

00:17:20.813 --> 00:17:22.355 align:center
Ah!

00:17:37.188 --> 00:17:38.313 align:center
Just the wind.

00:17:39.563 --> 00:17:43.021 align:center
Yeah, just the wind.

00:17:50.230 --> 00:17:51.980 align:center
Wind do that too?

00:17:54.021 --> 00:17:58.521 align:center
Guys, are these things still alive?

00:18:05.396 --> 00:18:06.813 align:center
Guys!

00:18:06.896 --> 00:18:09.771 align:center
Come on! Let's shred those things
and get out of here!

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.813 align:center
Did that come from the flowers?

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.188 align:center
It was Hawkins and his greed

00:18:35.271 --> 00:18:38.771 align:center
that forced his miners
to keep digging where they shouldn't.

00:18:38.855 --> 00:18:41.063 align:center
And when Bloodaxe stood up to him,

00:18:41.146 --> 00:18:44.563 align:center
it was Hawkins' greed
that stole that silver axe

00:18:44.646 --> 00:18:47.563 align:center
and drove it into my granddad's chest!

00:18:47.646 --> 00:18:50.896 align:center
Wait a second.
Bloodaxe Bill was your grandfather?

00:18:50.980 --> 00:18:54.938 align:center
He was. And he was a good man.

00:18:55.021 --> 00:18:58.730 align:center
Not that anyone
in this blasted town believes it.

00:18:58.813 --> 00:19:02.813 align:center
After the explosion,
Hawkins covered his tracks.

00:19:02.896 --> 00:19:07.605 align:center
He made himself the hero
and my granddad the devil.

00:19:09.105 --> 00:19:12.230 align:center
He earned himself two legacies.

00:19:12.313 --> 00:19:16.313 align:center
The first, the town named in his honor.

00:19:16.396 --> 00:19:18.230 align:center
But the second,

00:19:18.313 --> 00:19:22.646 align:center
that's the curse of Bloodaxe Bill.

00:19:22.730 --> 00:19:26.563 align:center
<i>Because the spirit of Bloodaxe Bill</i>
<i>will never rest.</i>

00:19:27.230 --> 00:19:30.730 align:center
<i>And he now haunts the town</i>
<i>that killed him.</i>

00:19:33.813 --> 00:19:34.646 align:center
It's him!

00:19:35.771 --> 00:19:36.813 align:center
The ghost!

00:19:50.355 --> 00:19:51.396 align:center
Nikki!

00:19:58.063 --> 00:20:01.396 align:center
<i>And if one of Hawkins' own</i>
<i>crosses his path,</i>

00:20:02.188 --> 00:20:06.355 align:center
<i>then they will feel the full wrath</i>
<i>of Bloodaxe Bill…</i>

00:20:07.730 --> 00:20:08.730 align:center
Mike!

00:20:08.813 --> 00:20:11.063 align:center
<i>…and his undying curse.</i>

00:20:26.563 --> 00:20:27.563 align:center
El!

00:20:36.188 --> 00:20:37.271 align:center
No, no, no!

00:20:57.355 --> 00:21:00.355 align:center
I… I can't stop it.
