00:22.938 --> 00:26.855
Why would you even think that?
SH could be anyone's initials.

00:26.938 --> 00:32.396
Oh, so Madam Ortiz says you have a passion
for an SH that isn't Steve Harrington?

00:33.396 --> 00:34.980
Wait. What the…?

00:35.063 --> 00:36.188
That isn't who?

00:37.355 --> 00:39.230
Are you even listening to me?

00:44.396 --> 00:45.396
Bradley?

00:46.688 --> 00:48.855
I'm listening. I'm listening. Geez.

00:57.563 --> 00:58.771
Just thought I saw…

01:00.771 --> 01:01.688
Jeanie?

01:11.646 --> 01:12.730
Help! Help!

02:01.980 --> 02:04.563
Please don't let that be
what I think it is.

02:09.896 --> 02:12.313
It's exactly what you think it is.

02:23.938 --> 02:24.938
Where's Mike?

02:25.021 --> 02:27.063
Gone.

02:27.146 --> 02:28.063
What?

02:28.146 --> 02:32.271
Yeah, that thing just grabbed Mike
and, like, ran off with him.

02:32.855 --> 02:35.271
So we gotta assume Wheeler's…

02:35.355 --> 02:39.480
No! He's still alive, Charlie.
He's gotta be. We just have to find him.

02:39.563 --> 02:41.438
Why is Daniel doing all of this?

02:41.521 --> 02:42.688
He's desperate.

02:42.771 --> 02:45.521
He's scaring people to death
to power open this gate.

02:46.230 --> 02:50.438
He's gotta be trying to get his real body
out of the Upside Down.

02:50.521 --> 02:52.563
So how long before the gate opens?

02:52.646 --> 02:53.938
No way to tell.

02:54.021 --> 02:55.521
Maybe there is.

02:55.605 --> 02:58.021
Jumpy needle means
the gate's still forming,

02:58.105 --> 03:01.271
but when it's built,
this needle will point straight at it.

03:01.355 --> 03:03.938
And that's when hell breaks loose.

03:04.021 --> 03:08.438
Demogorgons, Demodogs, The Mind Flayer.

03:08.521 --> 03:10.438
No!

03:31.438 --> 03:32.355
No!

03:32.438 --> 03:33.896
It's just too strong.

03:33.980 --> 03:36.896
I'm sorry. We just…
We can't stop the gate like that.

03:36.980 --> 03:41.313
Not while Daniel's got all of his sprites
and stupid flowers feeding it energy.

03:41.396 --> 03:46.396
Then that's game over, okay?
This thing is way too powerful.

03:49.230 --> 03:51.896
No! Listen up, H.I.C.

03:51.980 --> 03:55.813
I wasn't kidding when I said
we were Hawkins' first line of defense.

03:55.896 --> 03:59.813
We're the only chance
this town and Mike have.

03:59.896 --> 04:02.355
It's up to us to find a way.

04:02.855 --> 04:05.730
We can't close the gate
while Daniel's feeding it energy, right?

04:05.813 --> 04:07.313
Why don't we cut off his supply?

04:07.396 --> 04:09.355
Right. We could split up.

04:09.438 --> 04:12.230
One group takes out the sprites.
The other knocks out the flowers.

04:12.313 --> 04:15.271
But that still leaves Wood Monster Daniel.

04:15.355 --> 04:16.563
And Mike.

04:17.105 --> 04:18.980
Leave Daniel to me.

04:23.938 --> 04:27.271
You really think this is gonna work?
Scale of one to ten.

04:27.355 --> 04:28.855
Ten million!

04:28.938 --> 04:32.105
You saw that mist stuff
when you hit these things with rocks?

04:32.188 --> 04:33.313
Hate Sprites love it.

04:33.396 --> 04:37.313
Yeah, it's like some kind
of dusty love potion pheromone.

04:51.688 --> 04:53.188
Love potion, huh?

04:53.896 --> 04:54.896
Then…

04:57.813 --> 05:00.896
- Happy Valentine's Day, you freaks!
- Yeah!

05:04.896 --> 05:07.188
That did it! Go, go, go!

05:09.396 --> 05:11.813
Come on! Looks like we're all clear.

05:11.896 --> 05:14.021
Man, these flowers are everywhere.

05:14.105 --> 05:15.438
So we better get a move on.

05:18.605 --> 05:20.146
Come on, you pixie jerks!

05:23.771 --> 05:26.646
Whatever you do, Charlie, don't slow down!

05:26.730 --> 05:28.605
I wasn't planning on it!

05:29.230 --> 05:32.230
Okay, you guys know the rest of the plan.

05:32.313 --> 05:33.813
See you at Mount Doom!

05:33.896 --> 05:37.396
Why can't you idiots
use normal names for anything?

05:50.980 --> 05:52.563
It…

05:53.271 --> 05:54.938
is…

05:56.271 --> 05:58.980
working.

06:04.063 --> 06:05.480
Give me Mike.

06:05.563 --> 06:07.646
You.

06:28.146 --> 06:29.396
Got you.

06:45.063 --> 06:46.896
West Hawkins, check.

06:48.230 --> 06:50.730
North Hawkins, check. But…

06:52.313 --> 06:54.146
We're running out of time.

06:56.063 --> 06:57.021
Aw!

06:57.105 --> 06:58.938
Dang it! Out of gas.

07:00.730 --> 07:02.980
That's why we're a tag team, Sinclair.

07:03.813 --> 07:05.938
Come on. We got this.

07:12.896 --> 07:14.271
Payback.

07:15.313 --> 07:17.730
How much further?

07:19.188 --> 07:20.771
I think it's just through here.

07:34.063 --> 07:35.021
Ow!

07:50.063 --> 07:51.188
Mike!

07:51.271 --> 07:56.355
Did you forget?

07:57.396 --> 07:59.521
- Help!
- Mike!

08:02.688 --> 08:08.771
You can't stop me!

08:12.688 --> 08:17.271
No! He's using our fear against us.

08:17.355 --> 08:18.521
Ah!

08:18.605 --> 08:23.438
I must survive!

08:26.688 --> 08:33.355
No matter who I have to kill to do it.

08:57.313 --> 08:58.646
Get away!

08:59.646 --> 09:02.771
Over here! Come get it!

09:05.480 --> 09:06.605
Will!

09:16.313 --> 09:18.438
Hey, Zombie Boy!

09:23.980 --> 09:26.980
Dude, you really thought
you could outrun those things?

09:27.063 --> 09:28.063
No.

09:40.730 --> 09:42.980
Fancy meeting you here, Dandridge.

09:43.063 --> 09:46.021
There it is! Mount Doom!

09:58.896 --> 10:00.480
The gate's almost open.

10:01.063 --> 10:03.646
Okay, this should be the last of them.
Come on.

10:09.063 --> 10:09.980
Huh?

10:11.355 --> 10:12.646
Max!

10:23.771 --> 10:24.855
Oh man.

10:25.438 --> 10:28.521
What do you think you're doing, Sinclair?
Burning up our place?

10:28.605 --> 10:31.188
This ends now.

10:31.271 --> 10:32.271
And so do you!

10:35.105 --> 10:37.896
- Yeah! Yeah!
- Yeah! Yeah!

10:43.438 --> 10:45.230
That's a lot of flowers.

10:45.313 --> 10:49.438
If we pull this off,
these'll all go kablooey, too.

10:50.771 --> 10:52.896
Mine cart ahead! Look out!

10:53.771 --> 10:54.688
Dustin!

10:54.771 --> 10:56.855
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out! Watch out!

11:04.980 --> 11:09.980
I think I just broke
every single bone in my body.

11:13.396 --> 11:14.396
Gramps?

11:19.730 --> 11:21.646
Samuel Hawkins.

11:21.730 --> 11:25.688
No time for family reunions, Charlie.
We gotta go.

11:27.855 --> 11:30.063
Oh, crud.

11:32.855 --> 11:34.105
Incoming!

11:44.813 --> 11:47.230
I do not know if you can hear me.

11:47.855 --> 11:54.188
But Daniel is using you, Mike,
using your fear to open the gate.

11:57.896 --> 12:01.480
Jeff, listen,
this has nothing to do with you.

12:01.563 --> 12:03.563
It has everything to do with me.

12:03.646 --> 12:06.188
I cut you a break before, Sinclair,

12:06.271 --> 12:08.396
and you used it
to turn Charlie against me.

12:08.480 --> 12:10.605
And now you're setting fire to my bridge?

12:13.146 --> 12:15.063
- Max! The flowers!
- Right!

12:15.146 --> 12:17.563
Whoo! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

12:25.563 --> 12:27.980
We're coming for you!

12:35.271 --> 12:37.896
Hurry, hurry! Come on!

12:38.521 --> 12:39.563
Sorry, Gramps.

12:40.146 --> 12:42.688
What are you doing? Charlie?

12:43.813 --> 12:45.188
Charlie?

12:47.146 --> 12:48.396
Charlie!

12:53.563 --> 12:55.188
How's that for--

12:57.813 --> 13:01.855
Not sure how long
I can play whack-a-mole here.

13:09.271 --> 13:10.271
Give me a break!

13:11.230 --> 13:12.105
Dustin!

13:13.730 --> 13:15.688
- What?
- Get on!

13:15.771 --> 13:17.313
Back seat, Henderson!

13:27.396 --> 13:28.646
Whoa!

13:28.730 --> 13:30.688
- You made it.
- You doubted us?

13:33.271 --> 13:35.355
Hey, can we drop the cargo now?

13:35.438 --> 13:38.521
Bombs away! Eat that, you sprites!

13:46.188 --> 13:47.938
It worked! It worked!

13:52.105 --> 13:55.563
You dorks mess with my bike,
this is how you pay!

13:55.646 --> 13:57.688
Let me go!

14:01.396 --> 14:02.396
Pauly!

14:03.063 --> 14:05.521
You think you're tough? Take this!

14:11.813 --> 14:14.021
You just trapped yourself, genius!

14:16.938 --> 14:18.105
I'm coming for you.

14:37.063 --> 14:40.688
Mike, I was not listening to you before,

14:40.771 --> 14:43.480
but I am listening now.

14:44.438 --> 14:50.021
I cannot defend you right now,
but I know you can defend yourself.

14:50.105 --> 14:53.438
You are strong and brave.

14:53.521 --> 14:55.938
<i>And I believe in you.</i>

15:19.480 --> 15:20.688
The gate!

15:21.855 --> 15:23.438
It's open.

15:34.063 --> 15:39.605
At… last!

15:42.855 --> 15:44.271
The exit!

15:50.355 --> 15:52.105
Uh, Dustin?

15:52.188 --> 15:53.605
Go, go, go, go, go!

15:55.688 --> 15:59.605
Let's hope Mr. M was right
about the natural gas.

15:59.688 --> 16:01.521
Shouldn't we get out out first?

16:01.605 --> 16:05.021
We gotta cut it as close as possible.

16:05.105 --> 16:06.855
- Nikki?
- On it!

16:13.688 --> 16:15.521
No! No, no, no, no, no!

16:17.605 --> 16:19.563
Nowhere to run, Red.

16:26.980 --> 16:30.730
Jeff, stop! Jeff! Come on, man!

16:31.813 --> 16:33.105
Whoa!

16:35.605 --> 16:37.521
Wee-ooh!

17:02.021 --> 17:06.438
No more interfering!

17:10.688 --> 17:14.938
Mike! Please, you have to fight!

17:15.021 --> 17:18.438
Mike!

17:19.355 --> 17:22.105
<i>Here's the trick. I close my eyes.</i>

17:22.188 --> 17:24.438
<i>I count to five.</i>

17:25.896 --> 17:27.146
One…

17:29.021 --> 17:30.313
<i>two…</i>

17:32.938 --> 17:33.938
<i>three…</i>

17:36.021 --> 17:36.938
<i>four…</i>

17:40.521 --> 17:41.771
…five.

17:41.855 --> 17:44.105
<i>By the time I breathe out…</i>

17:47.230 --> 17:49.271
<i>…all that fear seeps away, too,</i>

17:49.355 --> 17:51.271
<i>and I get that power back.</i>

18:01.605 --> 18:03.730
El! El!

18:06.355 --> 18:08.188
El!

18:12.271 --> 18:13.438
Huh!

18:14.855 --> 18:17.105
How's this for a Dandridge curse?

18:17.188 --> 18:19.105
Are you crazy?

18:19.188 --> 18:20.771
You're one to talk, Henderson!

18:27.938 --> 18:28.938
Yeah!

18:49.313 --> 18:50.980
No!

18:55.896 --> 18:57.480
Mike!

18:58.813 --> 19:00.063
Ah!

19:02.355 --> 19:03.646
No!

19:14.896 --> 19:16.563
Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap.

19:18.063 --> 19:18.896
Come on!

19:25.313 --> 19:26.480
Lucas!

19:29.730 --> 19:31.730
Run, Max. Run!

19:35.646 --> 19:36.688
Ah!

19:50.563 --> 19:53.021
What?

19:54.063 --> 19:55.146
No!

19:59.980 --> 20:04.771
What is happening?

20:10.396 --> 20:12.146
My friends.

20:37.146 --> 20:38.605
You did it, Mike.

20:39.646 --> 20:40.896
You did it.

20:50.771 --> 20:51.730
Lucas!

20:53.646 --> 20:55.521
Lucas!

21:08.230 --> 21:10.563
Ow.

21:10.646 --> 21:12.605
Did you miss me or something?

21:12.688 --> 21:13.771
Stupid.

21:13.855 --> 21:15.146
The flowers!

21:19.980 --> 21:23.396
No! No!

21:23.480 --> 21:24.438
No!

21:25.230 --> 21:29.896
No! No!

21:38.396 --> 21:41.021
I…

21:41.105 --> 21:43.230
will…

21:43.313 --> 21:45.230
kill…

21:45.313 --> 21:47.146
you.

22:00.146 --> 22:03.355
<i>El? Mike? You guys alive over there?</i>

22:03.438 --> 22:07.271
Alive! We're good, Dustin. It's over.

22:16.355 --> 22:18.438
Ow! Ugh!

22:19.021 --> 22:20.271
That's gonna leave a scar.

22:20.355 --> 22:22.105
I hope that's not infected.

22:22.188 --> 22:24.980
Hence the hydrogen peroxide.

22:25.563 --> 22:28.313
Let's just hope
it disinfects golem gouges.

22:30.230 --> 22:33.646
So this is it, huh?
I can't change your mind?

22:33.730 --> 22:37.855
I mean, unless you can win the lottery.
It's been…

22:38.605 --> 22:42.980
It's been unreal, Zombie Boy.
And I wouldn't change it for the world.

22:43.771 --> 22:48.480
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, and Will.
I have got some news for you.

22:48.563 --> 22:52.605
Okay, remember you said
we should think "outside the box"?

22:52.688 --> 22:56.480
Well, your mom here thought
right out of the box

22:56.563 --> 22:59.688
and right into Hawkins High School.

23:00.896 --> 23:01.938
What does that mean?

23:02.021 --> 23:04.688
Okay, they were looking
for a biology teacher.

23:04.771 --> 23:09.980
I applied and bingo, bango, bongo.
They just called. I got it. I got it.

23:10.063 --> 23:13.230
This is full-time.
This is a raise. This is--

23:13.313 --> 23:16.938
What? This is so awesome!
Mom, we can stay?

23:17.021 --> 23:19.771
Oh, it is awesome. Indeed.
Come here. Come here.

23:22.105 --> 23:23.438
Will, get in here too.

23:32.105 --> 23:34.313
…four, five.

23:42.313 --> 23:46.438
El, I… I've got a question
I've been afraid to ask you.

23:46.521 --> 23:47.730
What?

23:48.605 --> 23:50.605
Um, will you…

23:50.688 --> 23:52.813
Oh man, this is weird.

23:52.896 --> 23:56.605
Um… be my girlfriend?

23:56.688 --> 23:59.771
Yes, Mike. Of course, yes.

23:59.855 --> 24:01.980
Yes? Yes!

24:02.063 --> 24:03.146
Oh! Oh!

24:03.230 --> 24:07.313
I've… I've been trying so long
to find the right way to ask you that.

24:07.396 --> 24:10.105
Well, sometimes words are enough.

24:12.480 --> 24:14.105
- Hey, guys.
- So you saw the match?

24:14.188 --> 24:17.646
I did. I did. I saw the whole thing.
Lucas got me a tape of it.

24:17.730 --> 24:18.688
Hey, where's Nikki?

24:18.771 --> 24:20.688
On her way. She had to help her mom with--

24:20.771 --> 24:22.271
Shh. Guys, look, it's on!

24:22.355 --> 24:25.938
<i>The heart of Hawkins</i>
<i>has always been its people.</i>

24:26.021 --> 24:29.105
<i>But some of those people</i>
<i>have been harboring secrets.</i>

24:30.646 --> 24:32.730
<i>That was a clip</i>
<i>from a school video project</i>

24:32.813 --> 24:34.480
<i>made by four local kids</i>

24:34.563 --> 24:37.730
<i>who uncovered a tragic secret</i>
<i>in Hawkins history.</i>

24:37.813 --> 24:41.938
<i>Challenging conventional wisdom</i>
<i>about Samuel Hawkins,</i>

24:42.021 --> 24:44.855
<i>whose famed signet ring was found</i>
<i>at the murder scene</i>…

24:44.938 --> 24:47.521
- This is great.
<i>- …of the maligned Bloodaxe Bill Dandridge.</i>

24:47.605 --> 24:49.396
<i>We spoke to members</i>
<i>of the Dandridge family</i>

24:49.480 --> 24:52.938
<i>who were thrilled</i>
<i>to have their ancestor's name cleared.</i>

24:53.021 --> 24:59.813
Take it in, you guys,
because we're celebrities. Next up, MTV.

24:59.896 --> 25:03.021
I don't need to be famous.
Just needed to pass history.

25:03.105 --> 25:05.230
I'm honestly surprised you made the news.

25:05.313 --> 25:08.688
All they've been covering
is that weird firefly infestation.

25:09.355 --> 25:11.563
Yeah, that was weird.

25:11.646 --> 25:13.855
Yeah. Inexplicable.

25:14.605 --> 25:16.646
Yeah, whatever.

25:16.730 --> 25:19.688
Hey, you're gonna have to pay for that,
like with money.

25:19.771 --> 25:22.021
Okay, guys, now back to business.

25:22.105 --> 25:24.230
So we've handled the paranormal,

25:24.313 --> 25:28.438
but we've yet to investigate
werewolves, vampires.

25:28.521 --> 25:30.188
Werewolves are real?

25:30.771 --> 25:31.813
- No.
- Yes.
