WEBVTT

00:19.355 --> 00:20.188
El!

00:29.230 --> 00:31.646
- El! Help us!
- El!

00:43.230 --> 00:44.855
A little help!

01:20.980 --> 01:22.396
Is it gone?

01:22.480 --> 01:24.938
Oh my god,
that thing almost freaking killed me!

01:25.896 --> 01:27.646
How did you know that would work?

01:27.730 --> 01:29.480
I did not.

01:30.605 --> 01:31.480
Awesome.

01:31.563 --> 01:33.771
Whoa. I feel weird.

01:33.855 --> 01:36.813
Yeah. Like exhausted, right?

01:36.896 --> 01:38.730
You think that thing did this to us?

01:38.813 --> 01:40.938
Do you believe in ghosts now?

01:41.021 --> 01:42.313
What I believe…

01:42.896 --> 01:45.938
is Lucas is never gonna let me
hear the end of this.

02:21.730 --> 02:25.188
Dude, we threw everything
we had at that thing, I'm telling you.

02:25.271 --> 02:27.938
Nothing worked, not even El's powers.

02:28.521 --> 02:31.855
I guess she was no match
for the ghost of Bloodaxe Bill.

02:33.230 --> 02:36.480
Seriously, Max. The evidence doesn't lie.

02:38.771 --> 02:42.855
"Evidence" is a strong word
for a story you heard from some old man.

02:44.021 --> 02:47.771
Fine. If you're not gonna trust Arthur,
trust yourself.

02:47.855 --> 02:50.313
You saw that thing with your own eyes.

02:50.396 --> 02:52.105
And it nearly killed you.

02:56.521 --> 02:59.355
Um, not that it… I mean…

02:59.980 --> 03:02.521
Whatever. It nearly got us too.

03:02.605 --> 03:05.813
No ghost story explains
those evil little Hate Sprites

03:05.896 --> 03:10.188
or the fact that thing, like, evaporated
when El destroyed the flowers.

03:10.271 --> 03:13.646
But doesn't that just prove
that they're all connected? That--

03:13.730 --> 03:18.021
That the ghost is in control
of the Hate Sprites and the flowers?

03:18.105 --> 03:22.771
It's like Arthur said,
this must be the curse of Bloodaxe Bill.

03:22.855 --> 03:25.355
What if he's after us
because we disturbed his resting place?

03:25.438 --> 03:29.480
I guess we could talk to him,
Bloodaxe Bill.

03:29.563 --> 03:33.021
Say we didn't mean to disturb him,
and we're sorry,

03:33.105 --> 03:34.980
and maybe he'll just leave us alone.

03:36.146 --> 03:39.271
I wish we had a "speak to the dead" spell
right about now.

03:39.355 --> 03:40.980
This isn't D&D, Dustin.

03:42.396 --> 03:44.813
Nancy. Nancy!

03:46.480 --> 03:49.438
- Mike.
- No, doofus, Nancy!

03:49.521 --> 03:51.480
Does Nancy still have her old Ouija board?

03:51.563 --> 03:56.896
Lucas, you're a genius.
We're gonna have a séance.

04:00.605 --> 04:03.355
I thought we were
getting supplies like everyone else.

04:03.438 --> 04:05.063
What are we doing here?

04:05.146 --> 04:07.271
We're going beyond the veil.

04:08.646 --> 04:12.771
It's research, Will.
If we're gonna contact Bloodaxe Bill,

04:12.855 --> 04:16.063
we need instructions
from someone who knows how.

04:22.730 --> 04:23.730
Whoa.

04:24.605 --> 04:26.646
This place is so cool.

04:29.646 --> 04:36.646
<i>"Producing Souls"? "The Graveyard Shift"?</i>
<i>"Guide to Necrotic Animation"?</i>

04:37.813 --> 04:40.230
We've gotta be in the right place.

04:45.771 --> 04:48.438
I sense a dark presence.

04:50.563 --> 04:55.938
Hmm. There is a shadow following you,
a hidden spirit.

04:56.021 --> 04:56.980
Or perhaps…

04:58.271 --> 04:59.396
A curse!

05:02.980 --> 05:08.230
Apologies, my visions don't always arrive
at the most polite of times.

05:08.313 --> 05:13.563
Welcome to the strange and wonderful world
of Madam Ortiz.

05:13.646 --> 05:17.146
And what, may I ask,
brings you wanderers into my domain?

05:18.896 --> 05:21.688
Actually, we're looking
for step-by-step instructions

05:21.771 --> 05:22.771
to have a séance.

05:22.855 --> 05:25.313
We want to contact Bloodaxe Bill.

05:26.688 --> 05:28.855
Bloodaxe Bill? No!

05:28.938 --> 05:33.105
To invite evil back into the world
of the living is to invite death.

05:33.688 --> 05:36.730
Bloodaxe Bill was a demon in life.

05:36.813 --> 05:40.355
The underworld can only have made him
into something worse.

05:41.021 --> 05:42.271
Dustin?

05:42.355 --> 05:44.563
Daughter, are these your friends?

05:44.646 --> 05:46.896
<i>Sí, mamá. They go to my school.</i>

05:46.980 --> 05:48.730
Ah, good.

05:48.813 --> 05:50.688
Feel free to stay and shop.

05:50.771 --> 05:54.063
But Bloodaxe Bill,
I will not help you with.

05:59.396 --> 06:05.105
So, you probably know
all about this séance stuff too, huh?

06:05.188 --> 06:07.355
Forget it. I'm not helping you.

06:07.438 --> 06:10.063
Please? I'll owe you.

06:10.146 --> 06:13.855
You still owe me from the last time.
So now, you'd owe me double.

06:13.938 --> 06:15.355
Does that mean you'll help?

06:15.438 --> 06:16.563
Hmm.

06:17.396 --> 06:20.271
What exactly do you need to know?

06:24.605 --> 06:29.855
Why can't we just tell Nancy
what is happening? She would understand.

06:29.938 --> 06:34.188
Are you kidding? She'd blab to Jonathan,
and Jonathan would tell his mom,

06:34.271 --> 06:37.605
and if Mrs. Byers finds out about this,
we're all grounded.

06:40.146 --> 06:43.188
Nancy and her friends used
that Ouija board all the time.

06:43.271 --> 06:45.230
It's gotta still be here somewhere.

06:54.855 --> 06:55.730
Ah!

06:57.438 --> 07:00.146
Mike! You better not be in my room!

07:01.355 --> 07:03.146
What do you think you're doing?

07:04.271 --> 07:07.188
Uh… Uh, waiting for you.

07:07.271 --> 07:11.230
I… I need your advice about, uh…

07:11.938 --> 07:13.146
Uh…

07:14.521 --> 07:16.021
Valentine's Day?

07:17.146 --> 07:20.521
Oh, Mike.
I have been waiting for this moment.

07:20.605 --> 07:21.563
Um…

07:22.188 --> 07:23.313
Yeah.

07:30.063 --> 07:32.188
You sure there are candles in here?

07:32.271 --> 07:35.021
Pretty sure. Might wanna be careful
of your fingers, though.

07:35.105 --> 07:36.355
Ah!

07:36.438 --> 07:38.938
Ow! What are those even plugged into?

07:39.771 --> 07:41.563
We'll probably need these too.

07:42.813 --> 07:44.355
Rad.

07:50.021 --> 07:53.188
There's candles somewhere
in this junkyard.

07:53.271 --> 07:54.396
I'll be right back.

07:55.480 --> 07:58.563
Hi, sweetie.
You and your friends up to something fun?

07:58.646 --> 08:02.396
Yeah, just looking for those crystals
Aunt Lizzie keeps sending us.

08:02.480 --> 08:03.605
The crystals?

08:03.688 --> 08:07.105
Uh, top right shelf
behind the paint cans, I think.

08:07.188 --> 08:08.480
Cool.

08:08.563 --> 08:12.771
Hey, Mom, um,
can I talk to you about something?

08:13.521 --> 08:15.521
Aw.

08:16.313 --> 08:18.313
Oh, man. Really?

08:21.021 --> 08:22.605
Glad you think it's funny.

08:22.688 --> 08:24.521
Oh, don't get all sensitive.

08:24.605 --> 08:27.980
I thought you wanted me
to be more sensitive, more romantic.

08:28.063 --> 08:30.146
But when I try
to make Valentine's Day plans,

08:30.230 --> 08:32.688
you'd rather watch WWF?

08:32.771 --> 08:36.105
I just wanted to spend tonight
doing something nice together.

08:36.188 --> 08:39.396
But I forgot.
You're allergic to real feelings.

08:41.855 --> 08:44.188
You have no idea
what you're talking about.

08:44.688 --> 08:45.980
Um…

08:46.063 --> 08:48.855
I know I should be helping out more.

08:48.938 --> 08:50.980
I heard you
on the phone the other day, and…

08:52.230 --> 08:55.313
You heard that? Oh, honey, no, no.

08:55.980 --> 08:58.438
Well, yeah, but you don't have to worry.

08:58.521 --> 09:01.188
Because I'm working on a plan.
I mean, another plan.

09:01.271 --> 09:04.063
Because the first one that I had
kind of got screwed up. I…

09:05.480 --> 09:09.021
This isn't your problem to solve.
I'm the grown-up here.

09:09.105 --> 09:12.896
Right, but I'm the reason
there is a problem, right?

09:12.980 --> 09:16.813
I'm the reason why we stayed in Hawkins.
So I'll find a way to help out more.

09:16.896 --> 09:20.855
I just gotta think outside the box,
you know? And…

09:20.938 --> 09:25.855
Oh, my sweet girl. Please, please,
I don't want you worrying about this.

09:25.938 --> 09:29.771
Things are gonna be fine.
I promise you. We got by before.

09:29.855 --> 09:32.563
Yeah, but that was when
we were living with Daniel,

09:32.646 --> 09:34.396
and there were two incomes coming in.

09:34.480 --> 09:35.938
Nikki, no. Listen--

09:36.021 --> 09:38.105
You gotta go, Mom, okay?
Your shift starts in--

09:38.188 --> 09:40.438
This is important. We're not done talking.

09:40.521 --> 09:44.396
No, Mom. You should not be late, okay?
It's cool.

09:44.480 --> 09:46.563
We have to get working
on our project anyway.

09:48.480 --> 09:51.730
Okay. But we will discuss this later.

09:51.813 --> 09:57.396
And don't get all New Age-y
with the crystals while I'm gone, okay?

09:57.980 --> 10:00.896
What? You don't want me
to unfocus my spirit colors?

10:02.480 --> 10:05.896
Just kidding. We Baxters are scientists.

10:18.355 --> 10:21.313
Don't tell me
you didn't make Valentine's plans with El.

10:21.396 --> 10:24.396
I did, but they got messed up.

10:24.480 --> 10:26.271
Messed up, but how?

10:26.355 --> 10:28.396
You know what? Never mind.

10:28.480 --> 10:30.521
Have you asked her
to be your girlfriend yet?

10:30.605 --> 10:34.855
Uh, well, it's… It's complicated.

10:36.438 --> 10:37.855
What's complicated?

10:37.938 --> 10:40.438
You guys have been friends
for a while now.

10:40.521 --> 10:42.355
You like her, don't you?

10:42.438 --> 10:46.230
I… Of course I like her. El's incredible.

10:48.313 --> 10:53.313
She's so brave and strong,
and she always has my back.

10:53.396 --> 10:55.813
Well, then I really don't see
the problem, Mike.

10:56.771 --> 10:58.855
Uh, okay. Thanks. Good talk.

10:58.938 --> 11:00.563
What? That's it?

11:00.646 --> 11:02.688
Yep. You are so right.

11:02.771 --> 11:08.188
I gotta talk to El right now.
I, uh, I don't wanna miss my <i>window.</i>

11:08.271 --> 11:11.646
Yeah, well, Valentine's is today,
so you better get on it.

11:11.730 --> 11:13.855
Hey! Can, can I have one of these?

11:13.938 --> 11:16.313
No, you cannot. Hey, Mike!

11:16.396 --> 11:18.480
Thanks, Nancy!

11:19.480 --> 11:20.563
He's hopeless.

11:21.896 --> 11:22.896
Huh.

11:34.271 --> 11:38.230
That's it, basically. Always start
with "hello" and end with a "goodbye."

11:38.313 --> 11:40.021
And never break the circle.

11:40.771 --> 11:42.105
Got it. Thanks.

11:42.938 --> 11:45.271
You sure you want to mess with this?

11:45.355 --> 11:49.646
Lindsay Baker once did a séance,
and then she had to leave school.

11:50.980 --> 11:53.313
What? I thought she had mono.

11:57.730 --> 12:02.813
Just out of curiosity,
where would one go to do a séance?

12:02.896 --> 12:05.771
My mom says
you always want to contact a spirit

12:05.855 --> 12:08.480
in a place they felt peace
while they lived.

12:16.230 --> 12:17.896
Bloodaxe Bill's cabin.

12:20.605 --> 12:22.146
Any ideas?

12:22.230 --> 12:26.480
All we need is a little dash
of liquid nitrogen.

12:26.563 --> 12:27.771
And luckily…

12:31.355 --> 12:32.771
I always come prepared.

12:42.980 --> 12:45.438
I'm really not sure about this.

12:45.521 --> 12:48.021
Aw, it's fine.

12:48.105 --> 12:49.480
I've got the manual.

12:49.563 --> 12:52.313
People underestimate the value
of a good manual.

12:56.188 --> 12:57.813
Oh! Here.

12:58.313 --> 13:02.730
I know a séance isn't exactly
a normal Valentine's Day,

13:02.813 --> 13:06.896
but I did owe you a non-murder flower.

13:09.605 --> 13:10.980
Happy Valentine's Day, El.

13:24.855 --> 13:25.938
Come on.

13:49.938 --> 13:50.771
Okay.

13:50.855 --> 13:53.271
<i>It's February 14th, 1985,</i>

13:53.355 --> 13:57.438
<i>and the Hawkins Investigators Club</i>
<i>is recording attempt number one</i>

13:57.521 --> 14:01.188
<i>to establish contact</i>
<i>with the spirit known as Bloodaxe Bill</i>

14:01.271 --> 14:03.105
<i>and catch him on film.</i>

14:06.105 --> 14:07.813
Okay. What's next?

14:16.605 --> 14:19.980
Some of you need to touch the planchette
with two fingers.

14:20.063 --> 14:22.105
- Planchette?
- The thing.

14:23.021 --> 14:26.730
The thing. The little moving thing.

14:26.813 --> 14:28.105
Hm.

14:35.855 --> 14:37.230
Good. Good. Good.

14:37.313 --> 14:41.563
Now the spirit can use your energy
to move it or something.

14:41.646 --> 14:43.563
Are you sure you know what you're doing?

14:43.646 --> 14:46.021
Yes! What? You wanna try it?

14:46.105 --> 14:47.646
Quit it, guys.

14:47.730 --> 14:51.521
Yeah. Quit it. I'm concentrating.

14:52.230 --> 14:56.563
We call upon the spirit of Bloodaxe Bill.

14:56.646 --> 14:59.355
Bill, if you can hear us,

14:59.438 --> 15:01.438
<i>we invite you among us.</i>

15:03.105 --> 15:05.855
You know, I used one of these
in the third grade.

15:05.938 --> 15:07.438
Nothing happened then either.

15:07.521 --> 15:09.230
Shh. Quiet. Quiet.

15:09.313 --> 15:10.938
<i>Any moment.</i>

15:11.021 --> 15:12.730
Any moment.

15:12.813 --> 15:18.896
I repeat, Bloodaxe Bill,
we call you into our circle.

15:18.980 --> 15:22.271
If you are there, give us a sign.

15:39.855 --> 15:41.480
Quit screaming, nerds.

15:42.313 --> 15:45.480
Charlie? What are you doing here?

15:45.563 --> 15:48.771
I followed you here.
And yeah, I know what you're up to.

15:48.855 --> 15:50.980
This was my family's cabin.

15:51.063 --> 15:52.188
What?

15:52.271 --> 15:54.355
You're related to Bloodaxe Bill?

15:54.438 --> 15:57.230
Duh. William Dandridge.

15:57.313 --> 16:00.730
Original loser of Hawkins
and my great-great-grandfather.

16:00.813 --> 16:02.813
The reason my family's cursed.

16:04.230 --> 16:08.646
Wait. You guys questioned my grandpa
and didn't even know his last name?

16:08.730 --> 16:11.355
Old man Arthur. AMD.

16:11.438 --> 16:13.771
Arthur Marvin Dandridge.

16:13.855 --> 16:16.480
Aren't you supposed to be
an investigators club or something?

16:16.563 --> 16:17.938
Man, this town is small.

16:18.521 --> 16:21.355
So, what?
You gonna tell me what you're doing here?

16:21.438 --> 16:22.438
Uh…

16:23.063 --> 16:27.188
Would you believe we're trying to contact
the spirit of your ancestor Bloodaxe Bill

16:27.271 --> 16:30.146
to, you know, ask him to stop haunting us?

16:30.230 --> 16:32.521
Dude! Don't tell him that!

16:32.605 --> 16:36.063
What else is he gonna think? Look around!

16:36.146 --> 16:38.105
We should ask him to join us.

16:38.188 --> 16:40.146
This is not part of the plan!

16:40.230 --> 16:45.646
Come on! A real blood relative?
It'll sweeten the deal!

16:46.230 --> 16:49.813
They do this all the time.
Take a seat, Dandridge.

16:49.896 --> 16:51.813
We can't trust him!

16:51.896 --> 16:54.105
I mean, he's helped us before!

16:56.146 --> 17:00.688
What? If you're gonna summon
the ghost of my great-great-grandfather,

17:00.771 --> 17:03.146
I get to be here to kick his butt!

17:04.730 --> 17:07.855
So, how's this supposed to work?

17:08.480 --> 17:12.730
We seek the spirit of Bloodaxe Bill!

17:12.813 --> 17:17.480
William Dandridge, can you hear us?

17:23.355 --> 17:25.105
Charlie! What the heck?

17:25.188 --> 17:26.771
Hey! Don't pin it on me!

17:45.438 --> 17:48.188
Um… Uh…

17:48.271 --> 17:50.730
<i>Oh my god! Oh my god!</i>

17:50.813 --> 17:53.146
It's working! It's working!

17:54.938 --> 17:55.938
What's going on?

17:56.021 --> 17:58.438
Uh, that doesn't sound good.

17:58.521 --> 18:01.105
It's working!

18:16.105 --> 18:20.105
Dustin! The protective circle!
Rosario said it would keep us safe!

18:23.063 --> 18:26.146
You said if we just talked
to the ghost nicely, it'd be calm!

18:26.896 --> 18:28.605
Does this look calm to you?

18:28.688 --> 18:29.938
Oh, no!

18:35.271 --> 18:37.313
"Goodbye"! We need to point it
to "goodbye"!

19:13.313 --> 19:17.438
Well, I wouldn't exactly describe
that whole thing as helpful.

19:25.521 --> 19:26.730
<i>Wait.</i>

19:26.813 --> 19:29.355
- Wh-what's that?
- What's what?

19:32.230 --> 19:35.188
But… But it…

19:35.271 --> 19:38.521
Huh? Wait!
No, I think he's right! In the corner!

19:51.230 --> 19:53.230
If you're really William Dandridge,

19:53.313 --> 19:55.896
then tell me
how to break our family's curse!

19:55.980 --> 19:59.855
Hey! Uh, hello, Mr. Dandridge, sir!

19:59.938 --> 20:05.563
What your descendant here is trying to say
is we just want to--

20:16.105 --> 20:17.896
Look out! Lucas!

20:24.396 --> 20:27.688
Where'd it go? Can anyone see it?

20:28.480 --> 20:30.896
Hey! Hey! Hey!

20:30.980 --> 20:33.563
Where's Uncle Ernie?
What did you do to him?

20:37.271 --> 20:40.105
Leave him alone!

20:44.146 --> 20:45.355
El!

20:46.021 --> 20:48.188
Mike, I cannot stop it.

20:48.855 --> 20:50.605
We gotta get out of here!

20:50.688 --> 20:52.771
Come on, you guys! Let's go!

20:57.313 --> 20:59.521
Come on! It won't open!

21:03.021 --> 21:06.105
Stop! What do you want?

21:07.521 --> 21:10.480
Just tell us how to break your curse!

21:14.771 --> 21:17.646
Help us set you free!

21:24.438 --> 21:25.730
No, no, no, no, no!

21:25.813 --> 21:27.021
Dustin!

21:28.771 --> 21:29.771
I got you!

21:32.438 --> 21:35.105
- Max!
- El! The flowers!

22:01.188 --> 22:02.480
I got it!

22:03.688 --> 22:05.563
So not the priority right now!

22:07.605 --> 22:08.980
Is it gone?

22:11.855 --> 22:13.313
Uh, Mike?

22:13.396 --> 22:15.813
The flowers, they're growing back!

22:27.230 --> 22:28.771
Dandridge! Move!

22:30.521 --> 22:33.146
Are you nuts? You can't freeze a ghost!

22:33.230 --> 22:34.563
Huh?

22:39.396 --> 22:40.355
Nikki!

22:58.313 --> 22:59.980
Run!

23:10.021 --> 23:11.480
Come on! Let's go!
