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

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

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

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

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

00:00:44.396 --> 00:00:45.396 align:center
Bradley?

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

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

00:01:00.771 --> 00:01:01.688 align:center
Jeanie?

00:01:11.646 --> 00:01:12.730 align:center
Help! Help!

00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:04.563 align:center
Please don't let that be
what I think it is.

00:02:09.896 --> 00:02:12.313 align:center
It's exactly what you think it is.

00:02:23.938 --> 00:02:24.938 align:center
Where's Mike?

00:02:25.021 --> 00:02:27.063 align:center
Gone.

00:02:27.146 --> 00:02:28.063 align:center
What?

00:02:28.146 --> 00:02:32.271 align:center
Yeah, that thing just grabbed Mike
and, like, ran off with him.

00:02:32.855 --> 00:02:35.271 align:center
So we gotta assume Wheeler's…

00:02:35.355 --> 00:02:39.480 align:center
No! He's still alive, Charlie.
He's gotta be. We just have to find him.

00:02:39.563 --> 00:02:41.438 align:center
Why is Daniel doing all of this?

00:02:41.521 --> 00:02:42.688 align:center
He's desperate.

00:02:42.771 --> 00:02:45.521 align:center
He's scaring people to death
to power open this gate.

00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:50.438 align:center
He's gotta be trying to get his real body
out of the Upside Down.

00:02:50.521 --> 00:02:52.563 align:center
So how long before the gate opens?

00:02:52.646 --> 00:02:53.938 align:center
No way to tell.

00:02:54.021 --> 00:02:55.521 align:center
Maybe there is.

00:02:55.605 --> 00:02:58.021 align:center
Jumpy needle means
the gate's still forming,

00:02:58.105 --> 00:03:01.271 align:center
but when it's built,
this needle will point straight at it.

00:03:01.355 --> 00:03:03.938 align:center
And that's when hell breaks loose.

00:03:04.021 --> 00:03:08.438 align:center
Demogorgons, Demodogs, The Mind Flayer.

00:03:08.521 --> 00:03:10.438 align:center
No!

00:03:31.438 --> 00:03:32.355 align:center
No!

00:03:32.438 --> 00:03:33.896 align:center
It's just too strong.

00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:36.896 align:center
I'm sorry. We just…
We can't stop the gate like that.

00:03:36.980 --> 00:03:41.313 align:center
Not while Daniel's got all of his sprites
and stupid flowers feeding it energy.

00:03:41.396 --> 00:03:46.396 align:center
Then that's game over, okay?
This thing is way too powerful.

00:03:49.230 --> 00:03:51.896 align:center
No! Listen up, H.I.C.

00:03:51.980 --> 00:03:55.813 align:center
I wasn't kidding when I said
we were Hawkins' first line of defense.

00:03:55.896 --> 00:03:59.813 align:center
We're the only chance
this town and Mike have.

00:03:59.896 --> 00:04:02.355 align:center
It's up to us to find a way.

00:04:02.855 --> 00:04:05.730 align:center
We can't close the gate
while Daniel's feeding it energy, right?

00:04:05.813 --> 00:04:07.313 align:center
Why don't we cut off his supply?

00:04:07.396 --> 00:04:09.355 align:center
Right. We could split up.

00:04:09.438 --> 00:04:12.230 align:center
One group takes out the sprites.
The other knocks out the flowers.

00:04:12.313 --> 00:04:15.271 align:center
But that still leaves Wood Monster Daniel.

00:04:15.355 --> 00:04:16.563 align:center
And Mike.

00:04:17.105 --> 00:04:18.980 align:center
Leave Daniel to me.

00:04:23.938 --> 00:04:27.271 align:center
You really think this is gonna work?
Scale of one to ten.

00:04:27.355 --> 00:04:28.855 align:center
Ten million!

00:04:28.938 --> 00:04:32.105 align:center
You saw that mist stuff
when you hit these things with rocks?

00:04:32.188 --> 00:04:33.313 align:center
Hate Sprites love it.

00:04:33.396 --> 00:04:37.313 align:center
Yeah, it's like some kind
of dusty love potion pheromone.

00:04:51.688 --> 00:04:53.188 align:center
Love potion, huh?

00:04:53.896 --> 00:04:54.896 align:center
Then…

00:04:57.813 --> 00:05:00.896 align:center
- Happy Valentine's Day, you freaks!
- Yeah!

00:05:04.896 --> 00:05:07.188 align:center
That did it! Go, go, go!

00:05:09.396 --> 00:05:11.813 align:center
Come on! Looks like we're all clear.

00:05:11.896 --> 00:05:14.021 align:center
Man, these flowers are everywhere.

00:05:14.105 --> 00:05:15.438 align:center
So we better get a move on.

00:05:18.605 --> 00:05:20.146 align:center
Come on, you pixie jerks!

00:05:23.771 --> 00:05:26.646 align:center
Whatever you do, Charlie, don't slow down!

00:05:26.730 --> 00:05:28.605 align:center
I wasn't planning on it!

00:05:29.230 --> 00:05:32.230 align:center
Okay, you guys know the rest of the plan.

00:05:32.313 --> 00:05:33.813 align:center
See you at Mount Doom!

00:05:33.896 --> 00:05:37.396 align:center
Why can't you idiots
use normal names for anything?

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:52.563 align:center
It…

00:05:53.271 --> 00:05:54.938 align:center
is…

00:05:56.271 --> 00:05:58.980 align:center
working.

00:06:04.063 --> 00:06:05.480 align:center
Give me Mike.

00:06:05.563 --> 00:06:07.646 align:center
You.

00:06:28.146 --> 00:06:29.396 align:center
Got you.

00:06:45.063 --> 00:06:46.896 align:center
West Hawkins, check.

00:06:48.230 --> 00:06:50.730 align:center
North Hawkins, check. But…

00:06:52.313 --> 00:06:54.146 align:center
We're running out of time.

00:06:56.063 --> 00:06:57.021 align:center
Aw!

00:06:57.105 --> 00:06:58.938 align:center
Dang it! Out of gas.

00:07:00.730 --> 00:07:02.980 align:center
That's why we're a tag team, Sinclair.

00:07:03.813 --> 00:07:05.938 align:center
Come on. We got this.

00:07:12.896 --> 00:07:14.271 align:center
Payback.

00:07:15.313 --> 00:07:17.730 align:center
How much further?

00:07:19.188 --> 00:07:20.771 align:center
I think it's just through here.

00:07:34.063 --> 00:07:35.021 align:center
Ow!

00:07:50.063 --> 00:07:51.188 align:center
Mike!

00:07:51.271 --> 00:07:56.355 align:center
Did you forget?

00:07:57.396 --> 00:07:59.521 align:center
- Help!
- Mike!

00:08:02.688 --> 00:08:08.771 align:center
You can't stop me!

00:08:12.688 --> 00:08:17.271 align:center
No! He's using our fear against us.

00:08:17.355 --> 00:08:18.521 align:center
Ah!

00:08:18.605 --> 00:08:23.438 align:center
I must survive!

00:08:26.688 --> 00:08:33.355 align:center
No matter who I have to kill to do it.

00:08:57.313 --> 00:08:58.646 align:center
Get away!

00:08:59.646 --> 00:09:02.771 align:center
Over here! Come get it!

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:06.605 align:center
Will!

00:09:16.313 --> 00:09:18.438 align:center
Hey, Zombie Boy!

00:09:23.980 --> 00:09:26.980 align:center
Dude, you really thought
you could outrun those things?

00:09:27.063 --> 00:09:28.063 align:center
No.

00:09:40.730 --> 00:09:42.980 align:center
Fancy meeting you here, Dandridge.

00:09:43.063 --> 00:09:46.021 align:center
There it is! Mount Doom!

00:09:58.896 --> 00:10:00.480 align:center
The gate's almost open.

00:10:01.063 --> 00:10:03.646 align:center
Okay, this should be the last of them.
Come on.

00:10:09.063 --> 00:10:09.980 align:center
Huh?

00:10:11.355 --> 00:10:12.646 align:center
Max!

00:10:23.771 --> 00:10:24.855 align:center
Oh man.

00:10:25.438 --> 00:10:28.521 align:center
What do you think you're doing, Sinclair?
Burning up our place?

00:10:28.605 --> 00:10:31.188 align:center
This ends now.

00:10:31.271 --> 00:10:32.271 align:center
And so do you!

00:10:35.105 --> 00:10:37.896 align:center
- Yeah! Yeah!
- Yeah! Yeah!

00:10:43.438 --> 00:10:45.230 align:center
That's a lot of flowers.

00:10:45.313 --> 00:10:49.438 align:center
If we pull this off,
these'll all go kablooey, too.

00:10:50.771 --> 00:10:52.896 align:center
Mine cart ahead! Look out!

00:10:53.771 --> 00:10:54.688 align:center
Dustin!

00:10:54.771 --> 00:10:56.855 align:center
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out! Watch out!

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:09.980 align:center
I think I just broke
every single bone in my body.

00:11:13.396 --> 00:11:14.396 align:center
Gramps?

00:11:19.730 --> 00:11:21.646 align:center
Samuel Hawkins.

00:11:21.730 --> 00:11:25.688 align:center
No time for family reunions, Charlie.
We gotta go.

00:11:27.855 --> 00:11:30.063 align:center
Oh, crud.

00:11:32.855 --> 00:11:34.105 align:center
Incoming!

00:11:44.813 --> 00:11:47.230 align:center
I do not know if you can hear me.

00:11:47.855 --> 00:11:54.188 align:center
But Daniel is using you, Mike,
using your fear to open the gate.

00:11:57.896 --> 00:12:01.480 align:center
Jeff, listen,
this has nothing to do with you.

00:12:01.563 --> 00:12:03.563 align:center
It has everything to do with me.

00:12:03.646 --> 00:12:06.188 align:center
I cut you a break before, Sinclair,

00:12:06.271 --> 00:12:08.396 align:center
and you used it
to turn Charlie against me.

00:12:08.480 --> 00:12:10.605 align:center
And now you're setting fire to my bridge?

00:12:13.146 --> 00:12:15.063 align:center
- Max! The flowers!
- Right!

00:12:15.146 --> 00:12:17.563 align:center
Whoo! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

00:12:25.563 --> 00:12:27.980 align:center
We're coming for you!

00:12:35.271 --> 00:12:37.896 align:center
Hurry, hurry! Come on!

00:12:38.521 --> 00:12:39.563 align:center
Sorry, Gramps.

00:12:40.146 --> 00:12:42.688 align:center
What are you doing? Charlie?

00:12:43.813 --> 00:12:45.188 align:center
Charlie?

00:12:47.146 --> 00:12:48.396 align:center
Charlie!

00:12:53.563 --> 00:12:55.188 align:center
How's that for--

00:12:57.813 --> 00:13:01.855 align:center
Not sure how long
I can play whack-a-mole here.

00:13:09.271 --> 00:13:10.271 align:center
Give me a break!

00:13:11.230 --> 00:13:12.105 align:center
Dustin!

00:13:13.730 --> 00:13:15.688 align:center
- What?
- Get on!

00:13:15.771 --> 00:13:17.313 align:center
Back seat, Henderson!

00:13:27.396 --> 00:13:28.646 align:center
Whoa!

00:13:28.730 --> 00:13:30.688 align:center
- You made it.
- You doubted us?

00:13:33.271 --> 00:13:35.355 align:center
Hey, can we drop the cargo now?

00:13:35.438 --> 00:13:38.521 align:center
Bombs away! Eat that, you sprites!

00:13:46.188 --> 00:13:47.938 align:center
It worked! It worked!

00:13:52.105 --> 00:13:55.563 align:center
You dorks mess with my bike,
this is how you pay!

00:13:55.646 --> 00:13:57.688 align:center
Let me go!

00:14:01.396 --> 00:14:02.396 align:center
Pauly!

00:14:03.063 --> 00:14:05.521 align:center
You think you're tough? Take this!

00:14:11.813 --> 00:14:14.021 align:center
You just trapped yourself, genius!

00:14:16.938 --> 00:14:18.105 align:center
I'm coming for you.

00:14:37.063 --> 00:14:40.688 align:center
Mike, I was not listening to you before,

00:14:40.771 --> 00:14:43.480 align:center
but I am listening now.

00:14:44.438 --> 00:14:50.021 align:center
I cannot defend you right now,
but I know you can defend yourself.

00:14:50.105 --> 00:14:53.438 align:center
You are strong and brave.

00:14:53.521 --> 00:14:55.938 align:center
<i>And I believe in you.</i>

00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:20.688 align:center
The gate!

00:15:21.855 --> 00:15:23.438 align:center
It's open.

00:15:34.063 --> 00:15:39.605 align:center
At… last!

00:15:42.855 --> 00:15:44.271 align:center
The exit!

00:15:50.355 --> 00:15:52.105 align:center
Uh, Dustin?

00:15:52.188 --> 00:15:53.605 align:center
Go, go, go, go, go!

00:15:55.688 --> 00:15:59.605 align:center
Let's hope Mr. M was right
about the natural gas.

00:15:59.688 --> 00:16:01.521 align:center
Shouldn't we get out out first?

00:16:01.605 --> 00:16:05.021 align:center
We gotta cut it as close as possible.

00:16:05.105 --> 00:16:06.855 align:center
- Nikki?
- On it!

00:16:13.688 --> 00:16:15.521 align:center
No! No, no, no, no, no!

00:16:17.605 --> 00:16:19.563 align:center
Nowhere to run, Red.

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:30.730 align:center
Jeff, stop! Jeff! Come on, man!

00:16:31.813 --> 00:16:33.105 align:center
Whoa!

00:16:35.605 --> 00:16:37.521 align:center
Wee-ooh!

00:17:02.021 --> 00:17:06.438 align:center
No more interfering!

00:17:10.688 --> 00:17:14.938 align:center
Mike! Please, you have to fight!

00:17:15.021 --> 00:17:18.438 align:center
Mike!

00:17:19.355 --> 00:17:22.105 align:center
<i>Here's the trick. I close my eyes.</i>

00:17:22.188 --> 00:17:24.438 align:center
<i>I count to five.</i>

00:17:25.896 --> 00:17:27.146 align:center
One…

00:17:29.021 --> 00:17:30.313 align:center
<i>two…</i>

00:17:32.938 --> 00:17:33.938 align:center
<i>three…</i>

00:17:36.021 --> 00:17:36.938 align:center
<i>four…</i>

00:17:40.521 --> 00:17:41.771 align:center
…five.

00:17:41.855 --> 00:17:44.105 align:center
<i>By the time I breathe out…</i>

00:17:47.230 --> 00:17:49.271 align:center
<i>…all that fear seeps away, too,</i>

00:17:49.355 --> 00:17:51.271 align:center
<i>and I get that power back.</i>

00:18:01.605 --> 00:18:03.730 align:center
El! El!

00:18:06.355 --> 00:18:08.188 align:center
El!

00:18:12.271 --> 00:18:13.438 align:center
Huh!

00:18:14.855 --> 00:18:17.105 align:center
How's this for a Dandridge curse?

00:18:17.188 --> 00:18:19.105 align:center
Are you crazy?

00:18:19.188 --> 00:18:20.771 align:center
You're one to talk, Henderson!

00:18:27.938 --> 00:18:28.938 align:center
Yeah!

00:18:49.313 --> 00:18:50.980 align:center
No!

00:18:55.896 --> 00:18:57.480 align:center
Mike!

00:18:58.813 --> 00:19:00.063 align:center
Ah!

00:19:02.355 --> 00:19:03.646 align:center
No!

00:19:14.896 --> 00:19:16.563 align:center
Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap.

00:19:18.063 --> 00:19:18.896 align:center
Come on!

00:19:25.313 --> 00:19:26.480 align:center
Lucas!

00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:31.730 align:center
Run, Max. Run!

00:19:35.646 --> 00:19:36.688 align:center
Ah!

00:19:50.563 --> 00:19:53.021 align:center
What?

00:19:54.063 --> 00:19:55.146 align:center
No!

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:04.771 align:center
What is happening?

00:20:10.396 --> 00:20:12.146 align:center
My friends.

00:20:37.146 --> 00:20:38.605 align:center
You did it, Mike.

00:20:39.646 --> 00:20:40.896 align:center
You did it.

00:20:50.771 --> 00:20:51.730 align:center
Lucas!

00:20:53.646 --> 00:20:55.521 align:center
Lucas!

00:21:08.230 --> 00:21:10.563 align:center
Ow.

00:21:10.646 --> 00:21:12.605 align:center
Did you miss me or something?

00:21:12.688 --> 00:21:13.771 align:center
Stupid.

00:21:13.855 --> 00:21:15.146 align:center
The flowers!

00:21:19.980 --> 00:21:23.396 align:center
No! No!

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:24.438 align:center
No!

00:21:25.230 --> 00:21:29.896 align:center
No! No!

00:21:38.396 --> 00:21:41.021 align:center
I…

00:21:41.105 --> 00:21:43.230 align:center
will…

00:21:43.313 --> 00:21:45.230 align:center
kill…

00:21:45.313 --> 00:21:47.146 align:center
you.

00:22:00.146 --> 00:22:03.355 align:center
<i>El? Mike? You guys alive over there?</i>

00:22:03.438 --> 00:22:07.271 align:center
Alive! We're good, Dustin. It's over.

00:22:16.355 --> 00:22:18.438 align:center
Ow! Ugh!

00:22:19.021 --> 00:22:20.271 align:center
That's gonna leave a scar.

00:22:20.355 --> 00:22:22.105 align:center
I hope that's not infected.

00:22:22.188 --> 00:22:24.980 align:center
Hence the hydrogen peroxide.

00:22:25.563 --> 00:22:28.313 align:center
Let's just hope
it disinfects golem gouges.

00:22:30.230 --> 00:22:33.646 align:center
So this is it, huh?
I can't change your mind?

00:22:33.730 --> 00:22:37.855 align:center
I mean, unless you can win the lottery.
It's been…

00:22:38.605 --> 00:22:42.980 align:center
It's been unreal, Zombie Boy.
And I wouldn't change it for the world.

00:22:43.771 --> 00:22:48.480 align:center
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, and Will.
I have got some news for you.

00:22:48.563 --> 00:22:52.605 align:center
Okay, remember you said
we should think "outside the box"?

00:22:52.688 --> 00:22:56.480 align:center
Well, your mom here thought
right out of the box

00:22:56.563 --> 00:22:59.688 align:center
and right into Hawkins High School.

00:23:00.896 --> 00:23:01.938 align:center
What does that mean?

00:23:02.021 --> 00:23:04.688 align:center
Okay, they were looking
for a biology teacher.

00:23:04.771 --> 00:23:09.980 align:center
I applied and bingo, bango, bongo.
They just called. I got it. I got it.

00:23:10.063 --> 00:23:13.230 align:center
This is full-time.
This is a raise. This is--

00:23:13.313 --> 00:23:16.938 align:center
What? This is so awesome!
Mom, we can stay?

00:23:17.021 --> 00:23:19.771 align:center
Oh, it is awesome. Indeed.
Come here. Come here.

00:23:22.105 --> 00:23:23.438 align:center
Will, get in here too.

00:23:32.105 --> 00:23:34.313 align:center
…four, five.

00:23:42.313 --> 00:23:46.438 align:center
El, I… I've got a question
I've been afraid to ask you.

00:23:46.521 --> 00:23:47.730 align:center
What?

00:23:48.605 --> 00:23:50.605 align:center
Um, will you…

00:23:50.688 --> 00:23:52.813 align:center
Oh man, this is weird.

00:23:52.896 --> 00:23:56.605 align:center
Um… be my girlfriend?

00:23:56.688 --> 00:23:59.771 align:center
Yes, Mike. Of course, yes.

00:23:59.855 --> 00:24:01.980 align:center
Yes? Yes!

00:24:02.063 --> 00:24:03.146 align:center
Oh! Oh!

00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:07.313 align:center
I've… I've been trying so long
to find the right way to ask you that.

00:24:07.396 --> 00:24:10.105 align:center
Well, sometimes words are enough.

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:14.105 align:center
- Hey, guys.
- So you saw the match?

00:24:14.188 --> 00:24:17.646 align:center
I did. I did. I saw the whole thing.
Lucas got me a tape of it.

00:24:17.730 --> 00:24:18.688 align:center
Hey, where's Nikki?

00:24:18.771 --> 00:24:20.688 align:center
On her way. She had to help her mom with--

00:24:20.771 --> 00:24:22.271 align:center
Shh. Guys, look, it's on!

00:24:22.355 --> 00:24:25.938 align:center
<i>The heart of Hawkins</i>
<i>has always been its people.</i>

00:24:26.021 --> 00:24:29.105 align:center
<i>But some of those people</i>
<i>have been harboring secrets.</i>

00:24:30.646 --> 00:24:32.730 align:center
<i>That was a clip</i>
<i>from a school video project</i>

00:24:32.813 --> 00:24:34.480 align:center
<i>made by four local kids</i>

00:24:34.563 --> 00:24:37.730 align:center
<i>who uncovered a tragic secret</i>
<i>in Hawkins history.</i>

00:24:37.813 --> 00:24:41.938 align:center
<i>Challenging conventional wisdom</i>
<i>about Samuel Hawkins,</i>

00:24:42.021 --> 00:24:44.855 align:center
<i>whose famed signet ring was found</i>
<i>at the murder scene</i>…

00:24:44.938 --> 00:24:47.521 align:center
- This is great.
<i>- …of the maligned Bloodaxe Bill Dandridge.</i>

00:24:47.605 --> 00:24:49.396 align:center
<i>We spoke to members</i>
<i>of the Dandridge family</i>

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.938 align:center
<i>who were thrilled</i>
<i>to have their ancestor's name cleared.</i>

00:24:53.021 --> 00:24:59.813 align:center
Take it in, you guys,
because we're celebrities. Next up, MTV.

00:24:59.896 --> 00:25:03.021 align:center
I don't need to be famous.
Just needed to pass history.

00:25:03.105 --> 00:25:05.230 align:center
I'm honestly surprised you made the news.

00:25:05.313 --> 00:25:08.688 align:center
All they've been covering
is that weird firefly infestation.

00:25:09.355 --> 00:25:11.563 align:center
Yeah, that was weird.

00:25:11.646 --> 00:25:13.855 align:center
Yeah. Inexplicable.

00:25:14.605 --> 00:25:16.646 align:center
Yeah, whatever.

00:25:16.730 --> 00:25:19.688 align:center
Hey, you're gonna have to pay for that,
like with money.

00:25:19.771 --> 00:25:22.021 align:center
Okay, guys, now back to business.

00:25:22.105 --> 00:25:24.230 align:center
So we've handled the paranormal,

00:25:24.313 --> 00:25:28.438 align:center
but we've yet to investigate
werewolves, vampires.

00:25:28.521 --> 00:25:30.188 align:center
Werewolves are real?

00:25:30.771 --> 00:25:31.813 align:center
- No.
- Yes.
