00:00:17Max?
00:00:20Max, Max, can you hear me?
00:00:22Max?
00:00:23Come on.
00:00:24Open your eyes.
00:00:25Yes, Max.
00:00:26Can you hear me?
00:00:29Max!
00:00:29Come on.
00:00:29Come on.
00:00:30That's it. Stay with me.
00:00:32Stay with me.
00:00:33All the way, Max.
00:00:34Yes, that's it.
00:00:43Yes.
00:00:45Yes, Max. Come on, Max.
00:00:47It's me. I'm right here.
00:00:49Right here, Max.
00:00:54Are you...
00:00:55Are you okay?
00:00:56Do you hurt anywhere?
00:00:59I can't feel...
00:01:02much.
00:01:04Um, do you feel this?
00:01:07Do you feel my hand?
00:01:08A little.
00:01:10Can you see?
00:01:12The lights
00:01:14are really...
00:01:16are really bright.
00:01:19Hey.
00:01:20You haven't used your eyes,
00:01:22okay, or your muscles for a long time.
00:01:25Hey, your body's just weak.
00:01:27It just needs to readjust
00:01:29and learn again.
00:01:32You are going to be okay.
00:01:35You're gonna be okay.
00:01:39I knew you were there.
00:01:42I thought we were still there.
00:01:46I saw you...
00:01:47waiting for me.
00:01:50Waiting for me.
00:01:52Prying my...
00:01:52my...
00:01:53my song.
00:01:55You're worried.
00:02:00Are you...
00:02:06It turns out...
00:02:09the whole time...
00:02:13I didn't even need it.
00:02:17I just needed you.
00:02:20I just needed you.
00:02:22Just you.
00:02:26I'm sorry.
00:02:31I need you.
00:02:41Oh my god.
00:02:44Max!
00:02:47You're here.
00:02:49You're really here.
00:02:51I'm here.
00:02:53Hey, welcome home, kid.
00:02:56Took your sweet time, didn't you?
00:02:59Screw you, Wheeler.
00:03:06Where am I?
00:03:07Oh, yeah, that would be confusing.
00:03:10Um, you were being hunted by the demo dogs,
00:03:13and we were all seconds away from becoming lunch
00:03:16when Mrs. Wheeler came and...
00:03:19did the laundry.
00:03:20Holy shit!
00:03:22Ma!
00:03:28He'll be angry.
00:03:30He'll try and find me.
00:03:33He'll know he escaped.
00:03:36Where's Holly?
00:03:40Where is she?
00:03:58Oh.
00:04:03Oh.
00:04:08Oh.
00:04:09Oh.
00:04:10Oh.
00:04:12Oh.
00:04:14Oh.
00:04:17Oh, my God.
00:04:44Uh...
00:05:39Uh...
00:05:40Uh...
00:05:43Uh...
00:05:59Jonathan.
00:06:02Jonathan.
00:06:03Jonathan.
00:06:05Jonathan, stop!
00:06:09What?
00:06:10If we hurt ourselves, we're really screwed.
00:06:14Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:06:18Oh, God.
00:06:23Okay, so, now what?
00:06:26Got anything else you want to confess?
00:06:36Stay back.
00:06:46Sorry we're late.
00:06:52You okay?
00:06:54Yeah.
00:06:55Yeah.
00:06:56We're okay.
00:07:02Thanks.
00:07:04God.
00:07:05Was that weird?
00:07:06I'm sorry.
00:07:07That was weird.
00:07:08I didn't...
00:07:08We just...
00:07:09We both thought...
00:07:10We were goners.
00:07:11Yeah.
00:07:11We did too.
00:07:12Turns out that shield generator of yours...
00:07:14Isn't really a shield generator.
00:07:16Yeah, we know.
00:07:16Well, you think that would have been good information to share.
00:07:20Well, we tried.
00:07:22Antenna snapped.
00:07:23His fault.
00:07:23Okay, so then what the hell did I shoot?
00:07:27Exotic matter.
00:07:29And we're supposed to know what that is?
00:07:31It's all in here.
00:07:32Look.
00:07:32Check this out.
00:07:34Dr. Brenner's notebook from 83.
00:07:37This thing is a gold mine.
00:07:39All his research into the gate.
00:07:40How he created it.
00:07:42What it really is.
00:07:43I'm still deciphering it, but...
00:07:45Yeah, this shit will fry your brain.
00:07:47Cliff notes...
00:07:48Holly isn't on the other side of the wall.
00:07:53Then where is she?
00:07:55I don't know.
00:07:57Exactly.
00:07:57But wherever she is, it's not the upside down.
00:08:21When he took me, he opened the fourth, final gate.
00:08:25Splitting Hawkins in two.
00:08:47No!
00:09:05You couldn't do this.
00:09:33What was that?
00:09:34What was what?
00:09:36Holly.

00:11:07Voyager Beta, any signal yet?
00:11:11Negative Voyager Alpha, Voyager Gamma.
00:11:14A big fat zero over here.
00:11:17Your balloon experiment is a dud, Snookums.
00:11:19Let's just put the antenna on the van and drive.
00:11:22As I've said, Voyager Gamma, given the uneven terrain and forested nature of Hawkins,
00:11:27a vehicle is simply not the most expedient way to pinpoint a telemetry tag.
00:11:30Expedient? We've been building your goddamn balloon experiment for six hours!
00:11:34Yes, but once we trilaterate the three signals, I'll be able to pinpoint Dustin's precise location.
00:11:40You can't trilaterate shit if we can't get a signal,
00:11:42so let's just cut our losses now before your star student winds up dead in a ditch!
00:11:49Cut our losses?
00:11:59Fortune favors the bold.
00:12:04I've secured a location on Dustin.
00:12:06Loose your balloons, Voyagers.
00:12:08Come again?
00:12:09Wait, hold on, what?
00:12:10We need more height.
00:12:12Loose your balloons!
00:12:18Negative 80!
00:12:20Negative 44.
00:12:22Take it back, Snookums, you madman genius!
00:12:25Thank you, Voyager.
00:12:26Calculation's incoming!
00:12:27Hold tight!
00:12:29Hold tight!
00:12:41You are going to be my spy one last time.
00:12:49Time!
00:12:55Will!
00:12:58Hopper just radioed.
00:13:00Max is safe.
00:13:01She got out.
00:13:04Hey, this is good news.
00:13:07None of this would've happened if it weren't for you.
00:13:10Everything's gonna be okay.
00:13:12But for how long, Mom?
00:13:15If Lucas is right, today is the day.
00:13:17The day Vecna's gonna act.
00:13:20I thought I had him.
00:13:21But the truth...
00:13:23The truth is I never stood a chance.
00:13:27And he knew it.
00:13:29He's always known it.
00:13:31That's why, out of everyone in Hawkins, he chose me.
00:13:36Because he knew I was weak and he knew he could control me.
00:13:43That is not true.
00:13:44It is, Mom, it is.
00:13:47I was his vessel.
00:13:49A vessel to channel his powers.
00:13:52To spy.
00:13:54And to build.
00:13:58To build?
00:14:00The tunnels.
00:14:02They didn't spread from the gate on their own.
00:14:05Every night I jacked into the hive.
00:14:08And took control of the vines.
00:14:11Using them to tunnel.
00:14:13Infecting our world with the upside down.
00:14:17So many died because of me.
00:14:20And if I could do all of that...
00:14:23What could he do with 12 more like me?
00:14:27You listen to me.
00:14:29None of what happened is your fault.
00:14:32Do you hear me?
00:14:33And as for his big plan...
00:14:35He's not gonna have 12 vessels or whatever the hell he calls them.
00:14:39Because he just lost Holly.
00:14:40And she'll know where the others are.
00:14:42Sweetheart, this is not over.
00:14:44Not by a long shot.
00:14:47You're wrong.
00:14:49You're wrong, Mom.
00:14:50It's my fault.
00:14:53No.
00:14:54No, baby.
00:14:57No.
00:15:04No, baby.
00:15:10No, baby.
00:15:11No, baby.
00:15:12No, baby.
00:15:14No, baby.
00:15:15No, baby.
00:15:16No, baby.
00:15:17No, baby.
00:15:17No, baby.
00:15:17No, baby.
00:15:17No, baby.
00:15:18I couldn't see where Holly was gonna wake up.
00:15:21But I figured wherever Vecna was keeping her, it had to be in the Upside Down.
00:15:31So I told her to just go home.
00:15:35Home?
00:15:36Home as in our home?
00:15:37Meaning we have to get back into the Upside Down.
00:15:40Where is the nearest rift to you?
00:15:41Off Cornwallis, I think.
00:15:43It's about a mile and a half, give or take.
00:15:44Lucas, do you copy?
00:15:47Lucas!
00:15:50Erica, I really can't talk right now.
00:15:52Okay, so Vecna took out those soldiers, so it should be a lot easier to get into the MAC.
00:15:56No, they're gonna have reinforcements by now.
00:15:58I can break through a plate.
00:15:59Are you saying that Holly is trapped under a steel plate?
00:16:04Without context, that might sound troubling, but she's not pancaked under a giant hunk of steel or anything.
00:16:09She's, um...
00:16:10How do I talk about this?
00:16:11Uh, well, there's this... this world.
00:16:14Under ours?
00:16:14Under the plates.
00:16:15The Upside Down.
00:16:16Yeah, and it's just like Hawkins, only way suckier.
00:16:19Guys, guys, guys.
00:16:20Okay, you really won't believe this, but Erica and Mr. Clark came through.
00:16:24They found Dustin and the others.
00:16:27All right.
00:16:28Well, they're gonna be able to find Holly a lot easier than we are.
00:16:33We better hurry.
00:16:34We got company.
00:16:48Hey, hey, hey.
00:16:49Are you okay?
00:16:51I'm fine, Michael. I'm fine.
00:16:52No, but all due respect, Mrs. Wheeler, you're not.
00:16:54You could get an infection, hemorrhage, God forbid, stop breathing.
00:16:58If you think I'm gonna stay in bed when my daughter needs me, you're out of your goddamn mind.
00:17:05Let's go.
00:17:06Mom, mom, mom, mom.
00:17:08She's right.
00:17:09It's okay.
00:17:09Keep going.
00:17:10Hey, you saved us.
00:17:13You saved us.
00:17:14And by some miracle, you're still here, okay?
00:17:17But right now, you need to trust me that we can handle this the rest of the way.
00:17:20There might be more of those things out there.
00:17:23They're called demagogans.
00:17:25I know, I know.
00:17:25There's so much that I need to tell you about this upside down and Elle, but right now,
00:17:30all you need to know is that this group saved Will when no one else could.
00:17:35We did that.
00:17:36And we're about to do the same thing with Holly.
00:17:37We're gonna bring her back to you, Mom.
00:17:40I promise.
00:17:41Okay?
00:17:44Yeah?
00:17:56Mr. Clark, thanks for the assist.
00:17:58Don't thank me yet.
00:18:00We successfully trilaterated Dustin's position here to precisely where I stand now.
00:18:04By the time we arrived, he was MIA.
00:18:06Well, he wouldn't be precisely here.
00:18:08He'd be under.
00:18:09Sorry?
00:18:11You didn't tell him?
00:18:13He told me what?
00:18:15Holy shit.
00:18:17Holy shit.
00:18:19Hey, over here!
00:18:20Over here!
00:18:23I got him!
00:18:24I got him!
00:18:25I got Dustin!
00:18:32I don't hear anything.
00:18:33I need patience.
00:18:35Anyone there?
00:18:36Repeat.
00:18:37It's Dustin.
00:18:37Dustin, it's Mike.
00:18:39Holly's escaped from Vecna, and she's on her way to my house on the Upside Down.
00:18:42I need you to get there as fast as you can and rendezvous with Holly.
00:18:45Do you copy?
00:18:46Holly's not at home.
00:18:47We found her.
00:18:48We found Holly.
00:18:49Repeat.
00:18:49Dustin, I'm losing you.
00:18:51Dustin?
00:18:54Am I going crazy, or did he just say that he found Holly?
00:19:00All right.
00:19:01Let's hug this wall up here.
00:19:03Why the hell would she be at the lab?
00:19:04Wherever she escaped from the lab must have been on route to my house.
00:19:07Is she just happily running to Dustin?
00:19:09What are the odds?
00:19:09Low as shit.
00:19:10But I say it's about damn time we had some luck.
00:19:13Payment to that.
00:19:13I'm sorry.
00:19:14I still won't follow.
00:19:15Dustin is under those plates?
00:19:17Yes.
00:19:17But not pancakes.
00:19:19Hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:19:33Yeah, we got cameras all over that rift.
00:19:36I have an old spectrum analyzer back at the club.
00:19:38If I can just locate the RF signal, I should be able to jam the transmission.
00:19:42That's cool.
00:19:43I think you're overthinking it.
00:19:46You're telling me Alford wouldn't have doubled that score.
00:19:49Four from six from the field.
00:19:51Rick's gonna be some special.
00:19:52You're not worth it.
00:19:53You lost him to the road.
00:19:59He ain't seen nothing yet.
00:20:37You coming, Snookums?
00:20:40We're going in there.
00:20:42We're going in there.
00:20:45Steve!
00:20:47Dustin!
00:20:49Steve!
00:20:50Nancy!
00:20:51Holly!
00:20:52Jonathan!
00:20:59Is this shit safe to breathe?
00:21:01Unclear.
00:21:03Okay.
00:21:05Mike?
00:21:06Any luck down there?
00:21:08Mike?
00:21:09Mike!
00:21:11I found him.
00:21:13She is so-so-so-goodness to you guys.
00:21:25Nancy?
00:21:28Where is she?
00:21:29Where's Holly?
00:21:36What was that?
00:21:37What was what?
00:21:39Holly!
00:21:53Holly.
00:21:54Holly!
00:21:55Cruz!
00:21:57Nancy!
00:21:59Nancy!
00:21:59Nancy!
00:22:00Holy!
00:22:01Nancy!
00:22:02Nancy!
00:22:02Nancy, please!
00:22:08Nancy, Nancy!
00:22:10I had a hold of her, but you couldn't see anything.
00:22:15It was him.
00:22:19Fakna, it had to be.
00:22:22Mike?
00:22:23Is Holly okay, Mike?
00:22:25Mike, do you copy?
00:22:26I repeat, is Holly okay?
00:22:57I'm sorry.
00:23:17Don't worry, Holly.
00:23:19It will all be over, Shuna.
00:23:24It will all be over.
00:23:33It was some sort of demon.
00:23:34A demon from that other world.
00:23:37He can control monsters.
00:23:40Move, Humvees.
00:23:42Stop fire.
00:23:45Wallace didn't touch him.
00:23:47Hell, nothing could.
00:23:49It wasn't a fight.
00:23:53Hell's a damn massacre.
00:23:59First we got mutant dogs at the hospital,
00:24:01now a goddamn demon in the mech.
00:24:03You want to tell me what else is about to pop out of that hellhole,
00:24:05or should we just leave this surprise?
00:24:06Because I don't know if you've noticed, but something we're a bit light on in it.
00:24:10Reinforcements are on the way.
00:24:12Any additional requests, talk to your unit, Commander.
00:24:15And how am I supposed to know what to request?
00:24:16But I don't know what the hell it is I'm fighting.
00:24:17You're not fighting anything.
00:24:19This is not a war.
00:24:20It is a search.
00:24:22Something gets in your way, kill it.
00:24:23But otherwise, keep your focus on finding the girl.
00:24:26Yeah, find the girl.
00:24:27Find the girl.
00:24:28Christ, is that all you can say?
00:24:29I mean, you got a pull string under that jack of yours, or what?
00:24:34Everything that has happened here is because of that girl.
00:24:36And if you had just done your job and found her,
00:24:39then I wouldn't have to repeat myself.
00:24:41And we'd have those monsters in Moscow
00:24:43where they'd be killing Soviets instead of Americans.
00:24:46The dead men, the children,
00:24:48their blood is on your hands, Lieutenant, not mine.
00:24:51And unless you want to join them,
00:24:53I would watch your goddamn tongue.
00:25:00Stay anchored.
00:25:02Bravo 1, you copy.
00:25:05Yeah, what is it?
00:25:07We've got a rip breach at the old lab.
00:25:10On my way.
00:25:20Max.
00:25:25Oh!
00:25:28So, I leave you alone for a second,
00:25:31then you turn into a sorcerer.
00:25:33It was a little more than a second,
00:25:34and I'm not really a sorcerer.
00:25:37It sure seemed like it to me.
00:25:40Hey, you up for a tour?
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:46Jimmy Fast and Skip Town before quarantine,
00:25:48so we just sort of moved in here.
00:25:50The basement is hidden behind this bookshelf over there.
00:25:52Not quite the bad cave, but it's pretty sweet.
00:25:54And we kept the station going.
00:25:55That's covered.
00:25:56Robin's our DJ.
00:25:57Rockin', Robin.
00:25:58Rockin', Robin.
00:25:59My bad.
00:26:00And Steve's her sound man.
00:26:01Oh, check this out.
00:26:15Hey.
00:26:17We're going to get Ollie back.
00:26:19She's all alone in there, Lucas.
00:26:21Alone with that monster.
00:26:25And I was so sure that she could make it out.
00:26:27And I was so stupid.
00:26:30You had to try.
00:26:32I should have stayed there.
00:26:36I should have kept her safe.
00:26:39Then we all be screwed.
00:26:41You've been in Vecna's mind.
00:26:43You can help us beat him.
00:26:44No.
00:26:45I can't.
00:26:50I don't even know where Vecna's keeping Holly.
00:26:53Well, it's a good thing I do.
00:26:55I know where she is, but the real challenge is getting there.
00:26:59I've got to show you guys something.
00:27:02Okay.
00:27:04So, this is Hawkins, and this is the Upside Down.
00:27:09And we've always assumed the Upside Down was another dimension opened by Brenner,
00:27:12but it turns out it's actually a bridge.
00:27:16More specifically, an interdimensional bridge that rips through space-time.
00:27:20It is wildly unstable, but held together by exotic matter,
00:27:23which we found dead center right above the lab.
00:27:27In theoretical physics, they call this type of bridge a wormhole.
00:27:31And this wormhole connects Hawkins to here.
00:27:34Another world that I've coined the Abyss.
00:27:37Any particular reason?
00:27:38A realm of pure chaos and evil.
00:27:40I'm sorry?
00:27:41D&D.
00:27:42Jesus Christ.
00:27:43Wow.
00:27:44I believe this Abyss is the true home of the Demogorgons, the Vines, the Mind Flayer,
00:27:49all the nasty shit we found in the Upside Down,
00:27:52and it's where all those years ago you banished Henry.
00:27:54He was lost for years, and he would have stayed lost if it wasn't for Brenner.
00:27:57He had me find Henry.
00:27:59And when you made remote contact with the Abyss, the bridge formed,
00:28:02and ever since, Henry and his army of monsters have been using it to cross right back into Hawkins.
00:28:07We kicked Vecna's ass last year,
00:28:09but I think he just fled across this bridge back to the Abyss to lick his wounds.
00:28:13What a pussy.
00:28:14So all this time, Vecna's been hiding in the sky?
00:28:18That explains why every crawl led to a dead end and why I can't find him in the bath.
00:28:21And why Holly fell from the damn sky.
00:28:23Yeah, but why is he taking kids up there?
00:28:25For the same reason he took me.
00:28:26The minds of children are weaker, right?
00:28:28More easily molded and controlled.
00:28:30So he channeled his thoughts and powers through me to amplify his abilities,
00:28:34and he's going to do the same with those kids.
00:28:36Amplify his abilities?
00:28:38To do what?
00:28:39Move worlds.
00:28:42Holly, she said Henry told the kids that they would help him draw the worlds together.
00:28:50And I didn't understand what that meant at the time, but I...
00:28:53He wants to move the Abyss.
00:28:55Crash it in the Hawkins.
00:28:56No, not crash.
00:28:57Merge.
00:28:58Henry wasn't licking his wounds in the Abyss.
00:29:01He was making rifts.
00:29:02Weakening the Abyss, just like he weakened Hawkins.
00:29:05So when the Abyss and Hawkins collide...
00:29:07They become one.
00:29:08He's remaking the world.
00:29:09How long do he think this takes to move worlds?
00:29:12Like, are we talking like...
00:29:14Or is this going to take some time?
00:29:15We better hope we have some time.
00:29:17Because if this is all correct, we have to get 2,000 feet in the air,
00:29:20find our way into the Abyss, free Holly and the kids,
00:29:22and kill Vecna all before our worlds merge.
00:29:24And if my theory's right, he's going to move worlds tonight.
00:29:28Have I mentioned how much I hate your theory?
00:29:30Me too.
00:29:30Me three.
00:29:31I hate all of this.
00:29:35But at least now we know what we're up against.
00:29:37And what we need to do.
00:29:40We just need a plan.
00:30:02I'm sorry.
00:30:05I don't mean to pry.
00:30:06It's just...
00:30:08Everyone's so worried.
00:30:10Is she going to be okay?
00:30:18But you've told her, right?
00:30:19That this Max was just a monster in disguise?
00:30:22That it was tricking her.
00:30:24Lying?
00:30:24Of course.
00:30:26I've tried everything, but she won't listen.
00:30:30We need her tonight, or we will fail.
00:30:33What did this Max tell her?
00:30:36Such awful, awful things.
00:30:40She told her I kidnapped you.
00:30:42What?
00:30:42You rescued us.
00:30:44I know.
00:30:46That's not even the worst of it.
00:30:48She told her,
00:30:50I don't want to save the world, I want to end it.
00:30:53How could she believe that?
00:30:55Because she's stupid as shit.
00:30:56That's how.
00:30:56No, she's not stupid, Thomas.
00:30:59This monster is incredibly powerful,
00:31:01and she works for the black thing.
00:31:03She has corrupted Holly's mind
00:31:04and dragged her out of the light
00:31:06and taken her into the dark.
00:31:08Maybe we should just give up
00:31:10and go home, then.
00:31:11Go home?
00:31:12To be with our parents.
00:31:13We would all die.
00:31:14What's wrong with you?
00:31:15Shut your trap, dipshit.
00:31:17Please, let's not turn on each other.
00:31:19I know we're all upset.
00:31:21But perhaps Derek is right.
00:31:23Perhaps I have failed.
00:31:25And the black thing has won.
00:31:28No.
00:31:29We can't let it win.
00:31:30Okay?
00:31:31We won't.
00:31:33You don't know Holly like we do.
00:31:35I've been her best friend since kindergarten.
00:31:38Debbie's her second best friend.
00:31:39And she crushes hard on Josh.
00:31:41No, she doesn't.
00:31:41She does.
00:31:42Totally.
00:31:42My point is,
00:31:43maybe if we all try and talk to her,
00:31:45we can fix her.
00:31:47We can bring her back to the light.
00:31:50Mary's right.
00:31:52We can do it.
00:31:53Back to the light.
00:31:54Back to the light.
00:31:55Back to the light.
00:31:56Back to the light.
00:31:58Back to the light.
00:31:59Back to the light.
00:32:02Back to the light.
00:32:04Back to the light.
00:32:06Back to the light.
00:32:07Back to the light.
00:32:09Back to the light.
00:32:10Back to the light.
00:32:11Back to the light.
00:32:14That's for the security cameras.
00:32:16Trench plate.
00:32:18Not a bolt cutter.
00:32:20Yeah, you can safely say that, sir.
00:32:28She's getting reckless.
00:32:31Sloppy.
00:32:33Could be one of those damn monsters.
00:32:34A monster that breaks padlocks and cameras?
00:32:37I don't think so.
00:32:41It's her.
00:32:44Rally the rest of the team.
00:32:46Tell them to lock and load.
00:32:47We're going in.
00:32:52At the base, in the Upside Down,
00:32:55there's a chopper ready for the taking.
00:32:59We fly up the abyss,
00:33:01kill the freak, rescue the kids,
00:33:04fly back down.
00:33:05Who exactly do you expect to fly this thing?
00:33:07It's a helicopter. They've got pilots.
00:33:09We force one to fly.
00:33:10Another kidnapping plot. Love it.
00:33:12How is this pilot going to fly a chopper into the rift?
00:33:14What do you mean?
00:33:15We just fly through it.
00:33:17What?
00:33:17Idiot.
00:33:18Just fly through it?
00:33:19These rotors are like 40 feet wide.
00:33:21It's too big. It's not going to fit.
00:33:23Steve hears that all the time, and he goes in anyway, don't you, Steve?
00:33:25What the hell's wrong with you?
00:33:27It's funny.
00:33:28Everybody shut up.
00:33:29Look, if somebody else has some magic bean
00:33:31that I don't know about, I'm all ears.
00:33:33If not, it's a risk that we got to take.
00:33:35We fly or we die.
00:33:37Fly or die.
00:33:37Well, then I guess we die.
00:33:39We're not going to die if we commit to a plan.
00:33:42Can we weigh out a few more options?
00:33:43We weigh out, I guess.
00:33:44We die, I guess.
00:33:45We have to get up.
00:33:47Who says that we have to get up?
00:33:48Don't take that shit, Jim.
00:33:49You're not even listening to each other.
00:33:51How do you do it?
00:33:53Magic bean.
00:33:59We don't need a magic bean to climb.
00:34:03We don't need a magic bean.
00:34:06Sorry, just, we don't, we don't need it.
00:34:10A magic bean.
00:34:12We got a beanstalk right here.
00:34:22Okay, this flashlight is the Squawk radio tower,
00:34:25and this slinky is the bridge.
00:34:29We'll never reach the abyss from the tower, right?
00:34:31But Max said, Vecna is drawing our worlds together.
00:34:35So, we let him.
00:34:37And we wait and wait,
00:34:39as he draws it closer and closer and closer.
00:34:43And when it's close enough
00:34:43and the radio tower is poking through one of the rifts,
00:34:46bam, Elle makes her move,
00:34:47she does her meditation thingy,
00:34:49enters Vecna's sick mind,
00:34:50and ambushes him.
00:34:51In your face, dickhead.
00:34:52And then, stopping the spell,
00:34:54halting the worlds from moving.
00:34:55Wham, voila.
00:34:57We've got a beanstalk.
00:34:58It's perfect.
00:34:59All we gotta do is climb up it into the abyss.
00:35:02I like it.
00:35:03It's not totally insane.
00:35:05But there's a problem, a big one.
00:35:07I can't reach inside Vecna's mind.
00:35:09He's too far away.
00:35:11Can't you just try, I don't know,
00:35:12load up on some of your junk food or something?
00:35:14Or better,
00:35:16we get you close.
00:35:18The upside-on lab is right under his lair
00:35:21and it's still frozen in time,
00:35:22which means that everything should still be there
00:35:24from Brenner's experiments, including...
00:35:25The math.
00:35:26If you do make it into his mind,
00:35:28I can walk you through it,
00:35:30guide you.
00:35:31I know a sick mind inside and out.
00:35:33I should be there too.
00:35:35This plan hinges on stopping Henry
00:35:37and right now Jane is finding him alone.
00:35:40It doesn't need to be that way.
00:35:42I can follow her into his mind.
00:35:46We can end our brother together.
00:35:49Okay, yeah, I dig it.
00:35:50Sisters kill their brother,
00:35:52we rescue the kiddos, come home heroes.
00:35:54And if Lucas is right,
00:35:55we don't have a lot of time,
00:35:56so we have to move fast.
00:35:57One final thing.
00:35:58Cherry on top.
00:36:00On the way out,
00:36:02we drop a bomb
00:36:03near the exotic matter,
00:36:06set a timer,
00:36:07escape the upside-down.
00:36:10The bridge collapses.
00:36:12And with it,
00:36:13the abyss,
00:36:14the demos,
00:36:15the mind flayer,
00:36:16all of it,
00:36:17gone.
00:36:18Game, set, match.
00:36:27Holly!
00:36:28Holly!
00:36:29Hey!
00:36:30It's okay.
00:36:31You're safe.
00:36:33You're safe now.
00:36:34You're with us.
00:36:34Okay?
00:36:38Welcome back, Holly.
00:36:40Welcome.
00:36:42Where is he?
00:36:44Mr. What's it?
00:36:46Downstairs.
00:36:47He's worried about you.
00:36:48So worried.
00:36:49No, no, no, no, no.
00:36:51Mary, Mary, you need to listen.
00:36:52Mr. What's it?
00:36:53He's not who he says he is.
00:36:54He didn't really save us.
00:36:56He's kidnapped us?
00:36:57He's trying to destroy the world, Holly.
00:36:59Mr. What's it has told us everything.
00:37:01Those are lies.
00:37:02Evil, nasty lies.
00:37:04No, they're not.
00:37:05They're not.
00:37:05That girl you met?
00:37:06Max?
00:37:06Max, she's not a human.
00:37:08She's a monster.
00:37:09She twisted your mind.
00:37:11That's not true.
00:37:13Max is a friend, and she's helping us.
00:37:16She's helping us get back home, back to our families.
00:37:20We're all trapped.
00:37:21Trapped in Mr. What's it's mind.
00:37:23Everything you see, none of it is real.
00:37:26Come on, you have to believe me.
00:37:29Please.
00:37:30You have to believe me.
00:37:32You have to believe me.
00:37:35You've got to believe me.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:39Derek.
00:37:41Derek, tell them.
00:37:44Tell them.
00:37:45Tell them!
00:37:54They're right, Holly.
00:37:56Max lied to us.
00:38:06I don't understand.
00:38:10Everything she showed me just seemed so real.
00:38:18I knew not to go into the woods.
00:38:20But I went there anyway.
00:38:23And, and I just, I just feel so, so stupid.
00:38:32You're not stupid, Holly.
00:38:34None of this is your fault.
00:38:37Holly, you know, the important thing is that you're here.
00:38:40You're here just in time.
00:38:48Get her!
00:38:51Get her!
00:38:54Get her!
00:38:57Get her!
00:39:14Oh, my God.
00:39:45Well, I was hoping for a slightly more delicate landing,
00:39:48but I suppose that'll do.
00:39:54You're welcome.
00:39:58All the people she had to go with had to be her.
00:40:02Elle trusts her. Maybe we should, too.
00:40:05No, she's up to something.
00:40:06I'm not sure of it. I just...
00:40:08Elle's not going to listen to me.
00:40:11What happened to the two of you down there?
00:40:15She thinks I don't believe in her.
00:40:18Which isn't true.
00:40:19No, of course not.
00:40:20Well, have you told her that?
00:40:23She thinks she's invincible.
00:40:25That's not the case.
00:40:27Yeah, that's not what I asked.
00:40:29Look, I can work on repairing things between us
00:40:31when I get on the other side of this,
00:40:32but right now, I need to make sure she gets out of this alive.
00:40:36That Kali makes one false move.
00:40:38I swear to God, I'm going to kill her.
00:40:40I'm going to kill her.
00:40:41I will not hesitate.
00:40:42Anything happens to Elle in that tank,
00:40:44I am pulling her out.
00:40:46I can't lose her choice.
00:40:51I can't.
00:40:57One last crawl.
00:41:01One last crawl.
00:41:17It gives me a headache trying to understand all this.
00:41:22But I think I've got a C- in physics,
00:41:24so I'll trust the nerds.
00:41:28Do you think it'll work?
00:41:30The plan?
00:41:31I mean, it has to, right?
00:41:34I just wish I wasn't stuck here.
00:41:37I feel useless.
00:41:39Elle and Kali are going to need you in the mind.
00:41:41I'm the one who's useless.
00:41:42You can still go there.
00:41:43To the abyss.
00:41:44It's too risky.
00:41:46I'd be at the heart of the hive mind,
00:41:47and I don't know what would happen.
00:41:49Last time I got too close,
00:41:50you used me to spy,
00:41:51and it almost got you killed, Max.
00:41:53You also saved my life, remember?
00:41:55Plus, I've been almost killed plenty of times
00:41:58at the hands of this asshole,
00:41:59so I'm kind of used to it at this point.
00:42:01How did you survive in there
00:42:04this whole time in Henry's mind?
00:42:06Honestly, luck.
00:42:08I found this cave.
00:42:10It was this old memory of his,
00:42:13and he was terrified of it.
00:42:17He wouldn't go in.
00:42:19Scared the living shit out of him.
00:42:20Underneath all those scars,
00:42:22he's still human.
00:42:24A psychopath with a serious god complex,
00:42:28but human.
00:42:31I guess we're all scared of something.
00:42:33Right?
00:42:34Right.
00:42:45Okay, Wheeler,
00:42:46how's it going with your contraption?
00:42:48Okay, so just imagine that this bike bell
00:42:50is the bomb's remote trigger, okay?
00:42:53So when this wire touches this warrior here,
00:42:55kaboom.
00:42:56Genius.
00:42:57One thing is,
00:42:58is I don't know if we can blow up the upside down
00:43:01to the dulcet tones of the butthole surfers.
00:43:03I built the bomb.
00:43:03I should be able to pick the record.
00:43:05Yeah, you can pick the record.
00:43:06You just have to follow one simple rule,
00:43:08which is pick a good record.
00:43:09This is a great record.
00:43:10But as far as save the world soundtracks goes,
00:43:12this means you're awesome.
00:43:13We're out there with you.
00:43:14You can't not pick the record.
00:43:16Oh, great, okay.
00:43:17Enough.
00:43:17Rest of the game.
00:43:20Hey.
00:43:21Hey.
00:43:22Have you handled one of these before?
00:43:24Not exactly,
00:43:25but, you know,
00:43:26baby guns,
00:43:27air rifles,
00:43:29a duck hunt.
00:43:30Duck hunt.
00:43:32He is remarkably good at it.
00:43:35But I have a better idea.
00:43:38Come on.
00:43:48These babies are deadlier than they look.
00:43:53You sure?
00:43:58Hey, Dustin.
00:44:00Yeah.
00:44:00Hey, about, uh,
00:44:02some of the stuff that I said earlier.
00:44:03It's okay.
00:44:04No, just,
00:44:06it's not okay.
00:44:07Okay.
00:44:10Eddie,
00:44:13he saved your life.
00:44:16Our lives.
00:44:19And I know what he meant to you.
00:44:20I can't,
00:44:20I can't even imagine how hard it's been.
00:44:23But instead of
00:44:26just being there for you,
00:44:27I just,
00:44:31well,
00:44:31I got angry about it,
00:44:32I guess.
00:44:36I got angry because
00:44:40things were different.
00:44:44because
00:44:46I really missed you.
00:44:52I missed my best friend.
00:44:57Yeah,
00:44:58I missed my best friend, too.
00:45:13For the record,
00:45:13a Rubik's Cube
00:45:14isn't even a good measure
00:45:15of intelligence.
00:45:18And you're being
00:45:19stock planned,
00:45:20seriously,
00:45:20only a genius
00:45:20could have come up with that.
00:45:22Yeah, well,
00:45:23I learned from the best.
00:45:25Yeah,
00:45:25that's true.
00:45:26Silver lining.
00:45:28If it fails,
00:45:29we both go down.
00:45:31You die,
00:45:32I die.
00:45:36You die,
00:45:37I die.
00:45:55Gate opening in five,
00:45:58four,
00:45:59three,
00:46:01two,
00:46:05open sesame.
00:46:08Got you.
00:46:11We secured
00:46:11the gate signal.
00:46:13Repeat,
00:46:13gate signal is secured.
00:46:15Well, Snookums,
00:46:16his timing is
00:46:17because
00:46:18Santa's sleigh
00:46:22is almost ready.
00:46:25Piece of shit.
00:46:29Oh,
00:46:29oh,
00:46:29oh,
00:46:30oh,
00:46:30God!
00:46:31Why?
00:46:32Why?
00:46:32Why do you
00:46:33got to do this right now?
00:46:34You don't like me?
00:46:36It's not me.
00:46:36I'm not the one.
00:46:37I'm not the one who...
00:46:38Hi, sister.
00:46:40Hi.
00:46:41Have you ever done this before?
00:46:44Shared your mind like this?
00:46:48Have you?
00:46:49With my other
00:46:50psychic friends all the time.
00:46:53I'm glad I'm here.
00:46:55Me too.
00:46:56Even after yesterday?
00:47:00Have you thought about it?
00:47:02What it all means?
00:47:04I was thinking
00:47:05when we blow up the bridge,
00:47:07we'll blow up
00:47:08Dr. K's lab.
00:47:11We'll end her experiment.
00:47:13K will simply make a new lab.
00:47:14So we kill her.
00:47:15She replaced Papa.
00:47:17Another will replace her.
00:47:18Then we can go away somewhere.
00:47:20We can hide from them.
00:47:20Oh,
00:47:21like somewhere with
00:47:22at least one waterfall?
00:47:24It's a fantasy, Jane.
00:47:26If you flee with Mike,
00:47:28maybe you're safe for a while.
00:47:29But when they find you,
00:47:30and they will,
00:47:31they will kill Mike.
00:47:33Just as they killed my friends.
00:47:35And then they will take you.
00:47:36And with your blood,
00:47:37they will create more children.
00:47:39Children who will suffer,
00:47:40as we have.
00:47:41And with these children,
00:47:42they will open up more gates.
00:47:44More worlds.
00:47:45Don't you see, Jane?
00:47:47It's a cycle.
00:47:49A terrible,
00:47:51vicious cycle.
00:47:53But we can stop it.
00:47:56Tonight.
00:48:06How?
00:48:08After we kill our brother.
00:48:10After the children are rescued.
00:48:12We don't leave with the others.
00:48:14We stay on the bridge.
00:48:16When the upside down vanishes.
00:48:21So we'll be.
00:48:24It is the only way, Jane.
00:48:27The only way.
00:48:33You ladies done meditating?
00:48:36As Santa's sleigh is ready to fly.
00:49:04Mom?
00:49:08Um, um, earlier today when you asked me what happened in Vecna's mind, I didn't tell you everything.
00:49:22When Vecna attacks, he weakens you by turning your own mind against you,
00:49:29by bringing out everything inside you that hurts.
00:49:34So, I fought back by focusing on happy memories, memories from when I was a kid, and when I wasn't
00:49:43scared, and when I felt most happy.
00:49:48That's how I took control in the Max Z, and how I killed those demos, and I thought the same
00:49:54would work on Vecna, too.
00:49:56But he found a way past, and he showed me things more.
00:50:04He showed me the most awful things.
00:50:07No, listen.
00:50:09Whatever he showed you, it's not real.
00:50:11He plays tricks.
00:50:13He lies.
00:50:13No, he doesn't.
00:50:16What he showed me, it didn't come from him.
00:50:23It came from me.
00:50:26He sees everything, Mom.
00:50:29He sees my thoughts.
00:50:32He sees my memories, and he sees my secrets.
00:50:40But Max, she told me he's also afraid, which proves I can beat him.
00:50:46But for me to do that, you need to know.
00:50:56I think you need to know the truth.
00:51:02Oh, uh, sorry.
00:51:04We just heard from Hop.
00:51:06He's 15 minutes out, so we should probably leave in five.
00:51:09Is everything okay?
00:51:11Yeah, we'll be out in a minute.
00:51:14Wait.
00:51:16I think you need to hear this, too.
00:51:20Everyone does.
00:51:29I...
00:51:31I haven't told any of you this.
00:51:37Because...
00:51:39Because I don't...
00:51:40I don't want you to see me differently.
00:51:44But the truth is...
00:51:47The truth is...
00:51:49I am...
00:51:50I am different.
00:51:53I just...
00:51:54I just pretended like I wasn't because...
00:51:57Because I didn't want to be.
00:51:59I wanted to be like everyone else.
00:52:02I wanted to be like my friends.
00:52:04And I am like you.
00:52:07I'm like you in almost every way.
00:52:10We like playing D&D late into the night.
00:52:12And we like that old person smell in Mike's basement.
00:52:15And we like biking to Melvalds for malted milkshakes.
00:52:19And we like getting lost in the woods.
00:52:21And getting lost in family video.
00:52:23And arguing about what to rent.
00:52:25And settling on Holy Grail for the millionth time.
00:52:28And we like milk duds in our popcorn with extra butter.
00:52:31And we like drinking coke with Pop Rocks.
00:52:35And we like bike races.
00:52:36And trading comics.
00:52:38And NASA.
00:52:39And Steve Martin.
00:52:40And Lucky Charms.
00:52:41And literally all the same things.
00:52:43I just...
00:52:44I just...
00:52:45I just...
00:52:47I...
00:52:50I...
00:52:51I...
00:52:53I...
00:52:53I...
00:52:53I don't like girls.
00:53:04I...
00:53:05I...
00:53:10I don't like girls.
00:53:14I think we just do.
00:53:15And I, uh...
00:53:16I had this...
00:53:17This crush on...
00:53:19On someone.
00:53:20Even though I know...
00:53:21I know they're not like me.
00:53:24But then I realized he's just my Tammy.
00:53:27And by Tammy, I mean it was never about him.
00:53:30It was about me.
00:53:32And I thought I was finally okay with myself.
00:53:35But...
00:53:35But then today...
00:53:37Today Vecna showed me what would happen if I did this.
00:53:40if i if i told you guys the truth he showed me a future and and in this future some
00:53:48of you are just
00:53:49are just worried for me worried that that things will be harder for me and it just makes me feel
00:53:55like something's wrong with me so so i push you away and and for the rest of us we just
