00:08RUN!
00:10RUN!
00:13I was back!
00:15I was back!
00:17I was back!
00:20I was back!
00:37C'mon! Let's go!
00:44Hang on!
00:46That aren't a whole different...
00:48Not long! Go! Go! Go!
00:51Wait! We have to go back!
00:53Did he say wait?
00:54You did not just say wait!
00:56Charlie's still inside!
00:57Oh no...
00:58Alright, we gotta go get him!
01:00He's all the way back!
01:01On the other side of the school!
01:03We just can't leave him in there with this thing!
01:05Can't we?
01:09Fine...
01:09I was kidding...
01:11Sorta...
01:13C'mon! This way!
01:28Mountains...
01:29Under a winter weather advisory!
01:31Wind-out conditions are also expected throughout the day!
01:34So definitely be careful on the roadway, especially in higher terrain...
01:37Mike?
01:38Come in!
01:39Do you read me?
01:39Over?
01:41An emergency has been declared as authorities continue to track the...
01:51I will find you, Mike!
02:13I will find you, Mike!
02:27Mike!
02:30What is wrong?
02:32Why are you hiding?
02:43Mike!
02:44Mike!
02:45Mike!
02:45Mike!
02:45Mike!
02:49Mike!
02:59Mike!
03:15Mike!
03:16Oh!
03:19Oh!
03:20Oh!
03:23Oh!
03:24Oh!
03:24Should we go after him?
03:27Uh...
03:30Lucas and Max!
03:31Reporting in!
03:32Over!
03:35Anyone out there?
03:36We've got a creature attack incoming!
03:38This is a cold red!
03:40Over!
03:41Shoot!
03:42Nothing but static!
03:43They're not exactly clear skies!
03:46Probably need to find higher ground to boost the signal!
03:48Yeah!
03:49Where do we...
03:52Uh...
04:00Stupid Vest!
04:01Stupid Storm!
04:03Stupid Sierra!
04:04It's stupid me!
04:05Trying to pedal in the middle of this!
04:06Whoa!
04:07Whoa!
04:08Oh!
04:09Oh!
04:10Crazy!
04:16Hey!
04:17Hey!
04:18Hey!
04:18Hey!
04:18Whoa!
04:19Whoa!
04:20Whoa!
04:24Whoa!
04:25I killed you, Mr. Henderson!
04:28Can I grab a ride?
04:31Get in!
05:03Whoa!
05:07Oh!
05:08Wait!
05:10Wait!
05:16Who's that?
05:17Whoa!
05:19Oh!
05:20Oh!
05:21Oh!
05:22Oh!
05:22And then...
05:24Oh!
05:25Wait!
05:39I... I think... it's smelling something.
05:45Or someone...
05:47Charlie!
05:58Hurry up! Hurry up! Come on!
06:04It is positively glacial out there. Visibility may be too low right now for safe conveyance.
06:11But this... this should make for a fine refuge.
06:14Camping out in the fruit mart? This is so cool!
06:18Hopefully it is the exact and literal opposite of cool.
06:22But... I take your meaning.
06:26Hmm... no power.
06:28And the phone is out. Seems we may have to make ourselves... comfortable.
06:35Uh... Pop-Tart?
06:42Hey! Where are you guys?
06:45If those losers diss me, I swear...
06:53What the...?
06:55What the...?
06:57Oh!
06:59Oh!
07:00Oh!
07:04Oh!
07:06Oh!
07:07Oh!
07:10Oh!
07:10Let us go!
07:12It's me, dang! Let us go!
07:14Hey!
07:15Over here!
07:17Come get me!
07:24Ah!
07:26Ah!
07:26Ah!
07:26Ah!
07:27Ah!
07:29Ah!
07:32Ah!
07:35Oh, my God!
07:36Oh, my God!
07:41Twice.
07:42Will you save this guy's butt?
07:44Twice now.
07:45Heels us big time.
07:46What did it do to him?
07:48Is he okay?
07:49Is he even alive?
07:51He is, but it's like that thing put him in some kind of trance.
07:54This doesn't make any sense.
07:56That creature, it had us cornered, but then one whiff of Charlie and it dropped us like a bad habit?
08:01The Snowshark got him once before.
08:03Maybe this creature wanted him back.
08:06Maybe it still wants him back.
08:07How long before this guy's stink leads that thing right back to us?
08:11We have to contact the others.
08:13This is major Code Red material.
08:14You're wucky.
08:15It's still in your locker, right?
08:17There's no way we'd be able to make it without getting caught.
08:28I got it.
08:29Dude, one dumb creature gets three brilliant minds?
08:33Trust me, we can take it down.
08:35How?
08:36We science the heck out of it.
08:45Okay.
08:46This one's for all the marvels.
08:49Hey!
08:50Hey!
08:51Ah!
08:52Oops!
08:54I think you may be better at folding paper football than actually playing paper football.
09:01Well, that tracks.
09:03Growing up, I never really took to sports, but I was a natural at geometry.
09:07This was hardly what I trained for.
09:11Trained?
09:12Do you have a black belt?
09:14Science trained, Mr. Henderson.
09:16Biology, with a focus on cytology.
09:19Cytology is the study of-
09:20Cells and cell formations.
09:22You're preaching to the choir, my man.
09:23So, why are you wasting your time stuck here in Hawkins?
09:29Well, not long ago, Hawkins was a scientist's playground.
09:32But then it all went up in smoke.
09:35Along with my hopes for a career.
09:37You...
09:37You worked at Hawkins' lab?
09:40You're talking to a founding member of the Scientific Progress Committee.
09:44For ten years, I ground myself to the bone, working toward a promotion that was destined never to come.
09:54I read that, um, the place was pretty dangerous.
09:57Can I ask what exactly you were working on?
10:01Well, that's just it, Mr. Henderson.
10:04All those years of service, and not a single shred of security clearance.
10:09No matter how much I had to offer them, they just never seemed to want to let me in.
10:16Well, that's great!
10:18I...
10:19I mean, not great, obviously.
10:21That must have sucked for you big time.
10:24No, I meant, like...
10:26It's a cool watch.
10:28No, you're right.
10:30The investigators didn't even want to interview me after the shutdown.
10:33Whatever really went down there, I suppose I was one of the lucky ones.
10:37But it also means I came away with no research or reputation.
10:42Just a few pens and a commemorative watch.
10:45I get it.
10:46You feel like your big adventure is over.
10:49Like the thing that made you special?
10:51It's gone.
10:52I guess it's not all bad.
10:54If I hadn't lost my job, then I never would have met Anna.
10:56Uh, Mrs. Baxter.
10:59I really do think her work will change the world someday.
11:03Exactly.
11:04Just because things change, doesn't mean our new lives have to be... ordinary.
11:08Yeah.
11:09We can't stay here forever.
11:11There may yet be a working phone within walking distance.
11:14I'm going to seek one out while the winds let up.
11:17Can I trust you to mind the store?
11:20I'll guard it with my life.
11:23Right.
11:31I have decided I do not like snow.
12:03What is that?
12:06Uh, calcium acetate.
12:10Okay.
12:11How do I put this?
12:12Um, flammable goop.
12:14How do you know all this stuff?
12:16Never underestimate the poorly supervised spawn of a substitute science teacher.
12:20Okay.
12:21If you guys are ready with the distraction, I can slip out of here and go get Mike's walkie.
12:24You're not going, Will.
12:26It's way too dangerous.
12:28No offense, but I've had, like, uptillions more experience avoiding killer monsters than you have.
12:35You're right.
12:36Sorry, Will.
12:37I know you can do this, but please just...
12:40Be careful.
12:41You can count on it.
12:42Here, potassium nitrate and sugar make for one heck of a smoke bomb.
12:48And this might look like a humble potato, but it's what I like to call a taser tot.
12:56Careful!
12:56The goop is flammable, remember?
12:58You fumble it and you can light us up like a bad barbecue.
13:01Then, I guess all we need now is some kind of monster bait.
13:05And thankfully, we now know what this creature wants most.
13:19The goop is flammable, but it's what I like to call a taser tot.
13:46All clear.
13:51How's our bait?
13:52So stinky like Old Cheese Mountain.
13:55Oh, rank.
13:56If this creature likes how Charlie smells, then let's ring the dinner bell.
14:22That's not good.
14:25That's not good.
14:38That's not good.
14:43That's not good.
15:06Now it's up to you guys.
15:18Was that the creature?
15:20Um, it was my stomach.
15:21I skipped lunch.
15:23Your stomach?
15:24That sounded like a chainsaw.
15:25It did not.
15:27Gross.
15:29Okay, but that wasn't me.
15:42Wait, ready?
15:43Ready.
15:53Not ready!
15:54Ready!
16:08Are you okay?
16:09Yeah.
16:10Minus the fear of being impaled.
16:22Look at this match!
16:24Look at this match!
16:33What?
16:34What?
16:34What?
16:36Got it!
16:42What are you doing?
17:05I'm toast.
17:06The only one getting toasted?
17:09It's him!
17:21Look out, Mike!
17:41The guys are not going to believe how amazing that was.
17:45I mean, you saw it, right?
17:47Oh, I saw.
17:48That was pretty darn cool, Byers.
17:50And, um, hey, I also wanted to say sorry for the cold shoulder detention.
17:58You totally didn't deserve that.
17:59And when all this is done, I really hope there's still room for me at your game table.
18:05Don't look at me.
18:06You're the dungeon master.
18:08The party'd be lucky to have you.
18:18Think he'll live to bully another day.
18:20What are we going to do with him?
18:22We can't just leave him here.
18:23Can we?
18:28Gotta admit, I always wanted to do that.
18:32Welcome to the dark side, Wheeler.
18:38Repeat, is anybody out there?
18:41This is Max and Lucas with a cold red.
18:43Over!
18:45Shoot!
18:45Still nothing!
18:48You really know all the best date spots, don't you?
18:53What happened?
18:54Oh, uh, glove down.
18:57It's okay, though.
18:58I barely feel anything.
19:08Better?
19:10Yeah.
19:11Better.
19:22Lucas!
19:22Lucas!
19:23Spike!
19:23Stop you!
19:25Mike!
19:25It's Lucas and Max!
19:27We've reached you!
19:27This is a cold red!
19:28We've got a cold red!
19:29Wait, what?
19:29We've been trying to reach you guys.
19:31We fought off some new kind of creature in the sewer, but a few more of them escaped!
19:35And they're on the hunt!
19:36Thanks for the heads up.
19:37We just took one out over here at the middle school.
19:40Elle, are you out there receiving any of this?
19:42Copy!
19:44Uh, Mike?
19:45She's receiving you, alright.
19:51Mike!
19:53Elle?
19:57Mike, I saw you at school.
20:01I had to help.
20:04You came all the way here from the cabin for me?
20:07You were hiding in trouble.
20:10You...
20:10We're okay.
20:11We killed the creature.
20:13It's over.
20:17Hang on, let me talk to him.
20:19Mike?
20:20Mike, Hawkins Middle is northeast of where we are,
20:22but the creatures we saw in the sewer were headed northwest, toward Abbott Road.
20:25Did you guys just say Abbott Road?
20:28Dustin?
20:29Yes, hi.
20:30The one and only.
20:32Dustin, where are you right now?
20:35Um, that would be the food mart on Abbott Road.
20:40Okay, listen to me very carefully.
20:42Do you have a way out?
20:44I did, but we're kind of snowed in.
20:46Any chance of a pickup?
20:47We've got bikes at school, but that snow is still pretty thick.
20:52Max, look!
20:56Uh, guys?
20:58I don't think the snow is going to be a problem.
21:00Well, hey!
21:01Huh, no rush on my account.
21:03I'm all good here.
21:05Like, on a scale of good to awesome,
21:07I have to say, I'm pretty...
21:18...dead!
21:18...
21:25...
21:27...
21:35Oh, my God.
22:05Oh, my God.
22:34Oh, my God.
23:09Get away from him, you mouth-bringer!
23:23Um, should we help her?
23:26After the day she's had, I'd say let her have this one.
23:46What? No spores?
23:48You okay?
23:51I think Dan might ban me for life.
23:53We have bigger problems than the food mart, Dustin.
23:56Way bigger.
24:12Jeez. Worst storm damage we've had in years.
24:15It was a wild one, Chief. Hope this place is ensured.
24:20Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
24:39You're not done yet?
24:40You traded turns for Erica's dessert again, didn't you?
24:43Yeah, last week. Before, I knew we'd be saving this town from crazy creatures. Again!
24:49My parents should be throwing me a parade, not forcing me to shovel snow.
24:53You're shoveling something, all right.
24:56Come on, town hero.
25:09Hey, what's going on?
25:10My bike's gotta be around here somewhere.
25:14Hold on. You turn! You turn!
25:17Are you sure this time?
25:19He was sure the last three times.
25:21Yeah, yeah. Sorry I'm not an expert at finding something lost in a historic blizzard.
25:26Why were you out in the snow anyway?
25:28I thought you were just going to hit the arcade. He was on a date.
25:31With Rosario.
25:33Would you call us to give it a rest?
25:35Yes, fine. I was with Rosario, but we were working the HIC case.
25:39Dustin, why are you red?
25:42It's... I'm not! I'm... my bike!
25:47And you all dabbing me.
25:48He's changing the subject.
25:50No, I'm simply trying to keep us focused on the task at hand.
25:54Rosario saw the same blinking light Charlie did after she played host to that Jerk-A-Lantern thing.
26:00You seriously think that's a coincidence?
26:02Charlie and Rosario were possessed by totally different creatures.
26:07Those creatures share a common ancestor.
26:11Like, Hordak.
26:13Horde what? Is that a She-Ra reference?
26:15Yep, Hordak. Like, controls the Horde. The biggest baddie of all the baddies.
26:21Except for his boss, Horde Prime, of course.
26:24Okay, let me try to explain this in a way that's less cool.
26:28Think of a beehive and the Queen Bee.
26:31The creatures that possessed Charlie and Rosario, they could have all descended from the same queen
26:35and shared her memories. That's why they had the same vision.
26:39So the vision didn't come from them. It came from the queen.
26:43Exactly! If we figure out where the light is Charlie and Rosario saw,
26:47then we'll locate the source of all these creatures. Hordak.
26:50We know the creatures are in the sewers. If there's a queen like you, say, that's where we gotta start.
26:56If you'd rather embark on a wild goose chase in the stinkiest depths of Hawkins,
27:01instead of systematically triangulating the queen's location using logic and science, then-
27:08I'm tired of being chased.
27:09We should do the chasing.
27:13Fine.
27:14Well, if we're headed underground for a monster beatdown, we're gonna need some gear.
27:17And that just so happens to be my specialty.
27:24Welcome to the Mosh Pit.
27:33This is like Nikola Tesla meets Dr. Frankenstein.
27:37You made all of this?
27:39Uh, yep. And if anything's gonna stop that queen, it's gonna be here.
27:43Gear up, Terminators.
27:45This stuff is sick, Nicky. Sick as in cool, but also sick as in... kind of sick.
27:55Uh, sorry.
27:56Well, that ball had it coming.
28:01Hey! Made something for you, too.
28:04No way! Is this the mallet from the festival?
28:07With one or two bonuses.
28:10Nicky, this is so cool. Thank you.
28:14It's like you could see into my brain and make my dreams real.
28:18What do you call this beauty?
28:21Uh, you name it.
28:23I'd like to officially make you the HIC's head of R&D for field technologies.
28:29Whoa! Sounds rad. Count me in.
28:39Oh! Oh my goodness, Nicky, uh, you have guests.
28:43Hi, Mrs. Baxter!
28:44Hi, Mrs. Baxter!
28:46Hey! Hello, kids!
28:48Checking out Nicky's knick-knacks?
28:50Mom, don't call them that, because then the name will stick.
28:53I'm so sorry. I thought you and them were cool now.
28:57Really? Okay, good, good, good, good, good.
29:00And, uh, I didn't mean to interrupt, but I wanted to give you something.
29:06Thanks, Mom. Love you.
29:09Oh, I love you too, sweet girl. Happy birthday!
29:13It's your birthday?
29:14Birthday? What?!
29:15I-I-I'm just gonna... I-I'm gonna go, I guess.
29:20Traitor.
29:23Why didn't you tell us?
29:25I guess I'm not really a birthday person.
29:27Besides, who would I invite?
29:28My mom.
29:29How about us?
29:36Okay. Um, yeah.
29:39Maybe this year I'd be up for trying something different.
29:41Why not?
29:43But first, we got some sewer business to take care of.
29:47Yeah!
30:03Light them up!
30:22So, does this mean that the sewers are our official date spot?
30:27Don't make me puke.
30:29You don't want to celebrate our anniversary here?
30:32I could bring candles!
30:34Gross!
30:40You have really never had a birthday party?
30:44I have never had one either.
30:46Is that because of where you grew up?
30:48No one ever mentioned birthdays in the lab.
30:52I did not even know when mine was until a few months ago.
30:56They really kept you locked down, huh?
30:59Locked down?
31:00Yes.
31:01But you went all over?
31:04So many places. They all kind of just blur together.
31:07My mom tried to make sure I did regular kid stuff, like the mall and karate class, but
31:12we could never really crack birthday parties.
31:14I guess they're just a little too normal for someone like me.
31:17I am not normal either.
31:19Heh. Well, who wants to be normal anyway, huh?
31:35Whoa.
31:36Guys, are you seeing these?
31:39What do they mean?
31:41I think it means...
31:46I think it means we go this way.
31:49We must be getting close.
31:59Who, uh...
32:01Who wants to go first?
32:06Fine.
32:11Be careful.
32:13A little late for that, stalker.
32:17These vines are strong enough to break through cement.
32:19If this whole place is riddled with them, we have to be careful where we step.
32:23Max?
32:25Max?
32:25Max?
32:31You're gonna want to see this.
32:37End of the line.
32:52Fuck!
32:57Only one of them, he can handle help.
33:07She's right.
33:08If we fight them, we'll alert everything in the sewer system we're here.
33:11Those things could come back around any second.
33:14We gotta figure out a way to get over... there.
33:17Without having to climb down into the death tunnel first.
33:20Oh, silly me.
33:21I left my grappling hook in my other pants.
33:24I didn't...
33:26I didn't...
33:26Who's ready for a ride?
33:29Steady.
33:30Steady.
33:31Oh, my God.
34:13Come on, hurry!
34:15What are you waiting for?
34:17Oh, guys.
34:27Yes, yes, go out.
34:52Where the heck are we now?
34:54Sewer junction.

39:26let's go
39:28oh
39:28how crazy sensitive plants are to light.
39:30Like, if they don't get enough, then they die?
39:33Exactly.
39:34But those vines live in the sewers.
39:35They're doing just fine and there's no light down there.
39:38Yeah, well that's because the opposite's also true
39:41with plants.
39:42Too much light?
39:46It's not gonna be easy.
39:48Replicating the lumens generated by that transformer
39:51won't be possible without some serious juice.
39:53Hey, if anyone can figure out how to replicate the lumens
39:56to make a butt-kicking weapon, it's gonna be you.
40:00Turn straight, zombie boy.
40:02Mike, give me that 14-gauge copper.
40:07Pliers, pliers.
40:09Whoa.
40:11Thanks.
40:12Okay, okay, okay, this is all so awesome for sure,
40:15but I got a little emergency to deal with first.
40:19Building gear makes me have to go P.E.
40:22You waiting for permission?
40:32You're a experiment?
40:33That's what you worried about?
40:35The storm just wiped out my only source of income.
40:38That's not the point.
40:38I don't think you understand.
40:40No, no, no, no, no.
40:41That's the problem.
40:43I do understand.
40:44I understand.
40:45I understand this wasn't part of the plan.
40:47Don't make me do something I will regret.
40:52Um...
40:53Bathroom?
40:54Oh!
40:55Hey!
40:55Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
40:57It's upstairs.
40:58Second door on the right.
41:05Happy birthday to you.
41:07Happy birthday to me.
41:09It's not your birthday, Dustin.
41:11Happy birthday to you.
41:17Happy birthday to you.
41:18Happy birthday to you.
41:27Happy birthday to you.
41:32Evolution is the process by which an organism adapts into an enhanced version of itself.
41:38I could talk about this stuff all day.
41:42Evolution, extinction, especially extinction.
41:46The fear of extinction is a great motivator.
41:49Like mushrooms and pine trees.
41:52When they're dying, they release spores.
41:55These spores are gonna ensure the survival of their species.
42:00Oh, no.
42:02Mrs. Baxter, it's a horrid crime.
42:06The end.
42:07The end.
42:08The end.
42:11The end.
