00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:43,071
Because he knew I was weak,
and he knew he could control me.
185
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:44,698
That is not true.
186
00:13:44,782 --> 00:13:46,950
It is, Mom. It is.
187
00:13:47,034 --> 00:13:48,744
I was his vessel.
188
00:13:49,745 --> 00:13:53,749
A vessel to channel his powers, to spy,
189
00:13:54,333 --> 00:13:56,585
and... and to build.
190
00:13:57,878 --> 00:14:00,213
"To... To build"?
191
00:14:00,297 --> 00:14:01,924
The tunnels.
192
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:05,010
They didn't spread from the gate
on their own.
193
00:14:05,594 --> 00:14:10,932
Every night, I jacked into the hive
and took control of the vines,
194
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:16,188
using them to tunnel,
infecting our world with the Upside Down.
195
00:14:17,064 --> 00:14:19,358
So many died because of me.
196
00:14:20,484 --> 00:14:22,695
And if I could do all of that,
197
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:27,032
what could he do with 12 more like me?
198
00:14:27,616 --> 00:14:29,159
You listen to me.
199
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:32,162
None of what happened is your fault.
200
00:14:32,246 --> 00:14:33,080
Do you hear me?
201
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:35,999
And as for his big plan,
202
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:39,085
he's not gonna have 12 vessels,
or whatever the hell he calls them,
203
00:14:39,169 --> 00:14:42,339
because he just lost Holly,
and she'll know where the others are.
204
00:14:42,423 --> 00:14:46,468
Sweetheart, this is not over,
not by a long shot.
205
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:48,679
You're wrong.
206
00:14:49,471 --> 00:14:51,348
You're wrong, Mom.
207
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:52,974
It's my fault.
208
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:54,392
[Joyce] No.
209
00:14:54,476 --> 00:14:55,853
No, baby.
210
00:14:57,354 --> 00:14:58,856
[Tires screeching]
211
00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:06,280
Go! Go!
212
00:15:07,448 --> 00:15:09,074
[Tense music playing]
213
00:15:12,328 --> 00:15:14,330
[indistinct chatter on walkie-talkies]
214
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:20,168
[Max] I couldn't see
where Holly was gonna wake up.
215
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:22,880
But I figured
216
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:26,008
wherever Vecna was keeping her,
217
00:15:26,842 --> 00:15:28,802
it had to be in the Upside Down.
218
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:31,221
So...
219
00:15:32,222 --> 00:15:35,600
I told her to just go home.
220
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:37,644
Home? Home as in our home?
221
00:15:37,728 --> 00:15:40,313
Meaning we have to get
back into the Upside Down.
222
00:15:40,397 --> 00:15:42,941
- Where is the nearest rift to you?
- Off Cornwallis, I think.
223
00:15:43,025 --> 00:15:44,526
About a mile and a half, give or take.
224
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:45,986
[Erica] Lucas, do you copy?
225
00:15:46,070 --> 00:15:46,946
- Oh, Robin.
- Yeah.
226
00:15:47,029 --> 00:15:47,863
Lucas!
227
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:52,158
[Lucas] Erica,
I really can't talk right now.
228
00:15:52,242 --> 00:15:54,035
Okay, so Vecna took out those soldiers,
229
00:15:54,119 --> 00:15:56,079
so it should be a lot easier
to get into the MAC.
230
00:15:56,163 --> 00:15:57,914
No. They're gonna have reinforcements
by now.
231
00:15:57,998 --> 00:15:59,541
I can break through a plate.
232
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:04,212
Are you saying that Holly is trapped
under a steel plate?
233
00:16:04,296 --> 00:16:06,423
Without context,
that might sound troubling,
234
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:10,260
but she's not pancaked under a giant hunk
of steel or anything. She's...
235
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:11,511
How do I talk about this?
236
00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:15,056
- Well, there's this world under ours...
- Under the plates.
237
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:16,224
The Upside Down.
238
00:16:16,308 --> 00:16:18,894
Yeah, and it's just like Hawkins,
only way suckier.
239
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:22,355
Guys, guys, guys.
Okay, you really won't believe this,
240
00:16:22,439 --> 00:16:26,026
but Erica and Mr. Clarke came through.
They found Dustin and the others.
241
00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:27,110
[Robin laughs happily]
242
00:16:27,194 --> 00:16:30,781
All right. Well, they're gonna be able
to find Holly a lot easier than we are.
243
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:35,953
We better hurry. We got company.
244
00:16:46,296 --> 00:16:47,839
[Gasping]
245
00:16:47,923 --> 00:16:50,551
Hey, hey. Are you okay?
246
00:16:51,135 --> 00:16:52,427
I'm fine, Michael. I'm fine.
247
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:54,888
No, with all due respect, Mrs. Wheeler,
you're not.
248
00:16:54,972 --> 00:16:58,516
You could get an infection, hemorrhage,
God forbid, stop breathing.
249
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,854
If you think I'm gonna stay in bed
when my daughter needs me,
250
00:17:02,938 --> 00:17:06,024
you're out of your goddamn mind. Let's go.
251
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,652
Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom. She's right.
252
00:17:08,736 --> 00:17:10,279
It's okay. Keep going.
253
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,989
Hey, you saved us.
254
00:17:13,073 --> 00:17:14,532
You saved us.
255
00:17:14,616 --> 00:17:17,243
And by some miracle,
you're still here, okay?
256
00:17:17,327 --> 00:17:20,413
But now, you need to trust me that
we can handle this the rest of the way.
257
00:17:20,497 --> 00:17:23,541
There might be more of those things
out there.
258
00:17:23,625 --> 00:17:25,335
They're called Demogorgons. I know.
259
00:17:25,419 --> 00:17:29,798
There's so much that I need
to tell you about this Upside Down and El,
260
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,633
but right now, all you need to know is
261
00:17:31,717 --> 00:17:34,886
that this group saved Will
when no one else could.
262
00:17:34,970 --> 00:17:36,179
We did that.
263
00:17:36,263 --> 00:17:38,390
And we're about to do the same thing
with Holly.
264
00:17:38,474 --> 00:17:42,436
We're gonna bring her back to you, Mom.
I promise. Okay?
265
00:17:43,937 --> 00:17:44,855
Yeah?
266
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,493
Mr. Clarke, thanks for the assist.
267
00:17:58,577 --> 00:17:59,661
Don't thank me yet.
268
00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:02,288
We successfully trilaterated
Dustin's position here,
269
00:18:02,372 --> 00:18:03,748
to precisely where I stand now.
270
00:18:03,832 --> 00:18:06,042
But by the time we arrived, he was MIA.
271
00:18:06,126 --> 00:18:08,462
Well, he wouldn't be precisely here.
He'd be under.
272
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:10,756
Sorry?
273
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:12,758
You didn't tell him?
274
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:14,759
- I...
- Told me what?
275
00:18:14,843 --> 00:18:16,512
Holy shit.
276
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:18,847
Holy shit.
277
00:18:19,598 --> 00:18:21,433
[Murray] Hey, over here! Over here!
278
00:18:23,143 --> 00:18:24,602
I got him! I got him!
279
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:26,480
I got Dustin!
280
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:31,401
[Static buzzing]
281
00:18:32,236 --> 00:18:33,945
- I don't hear anything.
- Patience.
282
00:18:34,029 --> 00:18:35,238
[Static continues]
283
00:18:35,322 --> 00:18:37,824
Is anyone there? Repeat, this is Dustin.
284
00:18:37,908 --> 00:18:40,243
Dustin, it's Mike.
Holly's escaped from Vecna,
285
00:18:40,327 --> 00:18:42,370
and she's on her way to my house
in the Upside Down.
286
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:45,999
I need you to get there as fast as you can
and rendezvous with Holly. Do you copy?
287
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:49,461
[Dustin] Holly's not at the house.
We found her. We found Holly. Repeat, we--
288
00:18:49,545 --> 00:18:50,963
Dustin, I'm losing you.
289
00:18:51,672 --> 00:18:52,589
Dustin?
290
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:53,841
[Static buzzing]
291
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,387
Am I going crazy, or did he just say
that he found Holly?
292
00:19:00,347 --> 00:19:03,058
All right, let's hug this wall up here.
293
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:04,559
[Lucas] Why would she be at the lab?
294
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:07,270
Wherever she escaped from,
the lab must've been en route to my house.
295
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:09,731
She just happened to run into Dustin?
What are the odds?
296
00:19:09,815 --> 00:19:10,649
Low as shit,
297
00:19:10,732 --> 00:19:12,776
but I say it's about damn time
we had some luck.
298
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:13,694
Amen to that.
299
00:19:13,777 --> 00:19:17,322
I'm sorry. I still don't follow.
Dustin is under those plates?
300
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:18,657
- Yes.
- But not pancaked.
301
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:20,617
[Hopper] Hang on. Hang on.
302
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:35,465
Yeah, we got cameras all over that rift.
303
00:19:36,425 --> 00:19:38,760
I have an old spectrum analyzer
back at the club.
304
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,930
If I can just locate their RF signal,
I should be able to jam the transmission.
305
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:43,223
That's cool.
306
00:19:43,932 --> 00:19:45,559
I think you're overthinking it.
307
00:19:46,393 --> 00:19:49,104
You're telling me Alford
wouldn't have doubled that score?
308
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,855
Four from six from the field.
309
00:19:50,939 --> 00:19:54,025
Reggie's gonna be something special,
you mark my words.
310
00:19:54,109 --> 00:19:55,360
Walsh can do no...
311
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:01,116
You ain't seen nothing yet.

You coming, Snookums?

We're going in there?
317
00:20:42,658 --> 00:20:44,200
We're going in there.

Is this shit safe to breathe?
326
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,844
Unclear.
327
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:04,721
Okay.
328
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:07,807
Mike, any luck down there?
329
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:10,185
[Dustin] Mike? Mike!
330
00:21:11,228 --> 00:21:12,437
Found him.
331
00:21:13,605 --> 00:21:15,274
[Mike] Jesus, it's good to see you guys.
332
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:26,410
Nancy?
333
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:29,037
Where is she?
334
00:21:29,579 --> 00:21:30,872
Where's Holly?
335
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:35,669
[Holly screaming]
336
00:21:36,503 --> 00:21:38,296
- What was that?
- What was what?
337

[Screaming continues]
338
00:21:39,631 --> 00:21:40,924
Holly.

- Holly! Holly!
- [Holly] Nancy, help me!
341

- Nancy, help me! Help me down, please!
- Holly!
342

[Nancy] It was like something had a hold
of her, but you couldn't see anything.
347
00:22:16,084 --> 00:22:17,252
It was him.
348
00:22:19,296 --> 00:22:21,173
Vecna. It had to be.
349
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:23,884
[Lucas] Mike?
350
00:22:23,967 --> 00:22:26,928
Is Holly okay, Mike? Mike, do you copy?
351
00:22:27,012 --> 00:22:29,473
I repeat, is Holly okay?

It will all be over soon.

[Sullivan] It was some sort of demon,
a demon from that other world.
360
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:38,959
He can control monsters,
361
00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:41,586
move Humvees,
362
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:43,130
stop fire.
363
00:23:45,757 --> 00:23:47,175
Bullets didn't touch him.
364
00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:49,260
Hell, nothing could.
365
00:23:49,344 --> 00:23:50,887
It wasn't a fight.
366
00:23:52,889 --> 00:23:54,641
It was a damn massacre.
367
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:01,689
[Akers] First we get
mutant dogs at the hospital.
368
00:24:01,773 --> 00:24:03,274
Now a goddamn demon in the MAC?
369
00:24:03,358 --> 00:24:05,568
You wanna tell me what else
is about to pop out of that hellhole,
370
00:24:05,652 --> 00:24:07,028
or should we leave it a surprise?
371
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:09,947
I don't know if you've noticed,
but suddenly we're light on men.
372
00:24:10,031 --> 00:24:11,699
Reinforcements are on the way.
373
00:24:11,783 --> 00:24:14,869
Any additional requests,
talk to your unit commander.
374
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:17,580
How am I to know what to request
when I don't know what I'm fighting?
375
00:24:17,664 --> 00:24:21,626
You're not fighting anything.
This is not a war. It is a search.
376
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:23,419
Something gets in your way, kill it.
377
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:26,547
But otherwise,
keep your focus on finding the girl.
378
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:29,133
Yeah, find the girl.
Christ, is that all you can say?
379
00:24:29,217 --> 00:24:32,179
I mean, you got a pull string
under that jacket of yours or what?
380
00:24:33,763 --> 00:24:36,474
Everything that has happened here
is because of that girl.
381
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:39,185
And if you had just done your job
and found her,
382
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:42,730
then I wouldn't have to repeat myself,
and we'd have those monsters in Moscow
383
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:45,942
where they'd be killing Soviets
instead of Americans.
384
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:48,236
The dead men, the children,
385
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,906
their blood is on your hands, Lieutenant,
not mine.
386
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:55,911
And unless you want to join them,
I would watch that goddamn tongue.
387
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,585
[Man on walkie-talkie] Lt. Akers,
this is Bravo One. Do you copy?
388
00:25:06,129 --> 00:25:07,255
Yeah, what is it?
389
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,424
We've got a rift breach at the old lab.
390
00:25:10,217 --> 00:25:11,301
On my way.
391
00:25:19,226 --> 00:25:20,227
You okay?
392
00:25:20,936 --> 00:25:21,937
Max.
393
00:25:25,732 --> 00:25:27,442
[Will groans excitedly]
394
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:32,989
So I leave you alone for a second,
and you turn into a sorcerer?
395
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:37,076
It was a little more than a second,
and I'm not really a sorcerer.
396
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,120
Mm, sure seemed like it to me.
397
00:25:40,622 --> 00:25:42,916
Hey, you up for a tour?
398
00:25:46,002 --> 00:25:48,254
Jimmy "Fast Hands" skipped town
before quarantine,
399
00:25:48,338 --> 00:25:50,131
so we just sort of moved in here.
400
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:52,675
The basement is hidden
behind this bookshelf over there.
401
00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:54,594
Not quite the Batcave,
but it's pretty sweet.
402
00:25:54,678 --> 00:25:57,138
We kept the station going as cover.
Robin's our DJ.
403
00:25:57,222 --> 00:25:59,849
- Rockin' Robin.
- Rockin' Robin, my bad.
404
00:25:59,933 --> 00:26:01,392
And Steve's her sound man.
405
00:26:01,476 --> 00:26:02,394
Check this out.
406
00:26:05,188 --> 00:26:06,355
[Loud belch]
407
00:26:06,439 --> 00:26:08,233
[chuckles softly]
408
00:26:15,699 --> 00:26:16,700
Hey...
409
00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:18,951
We're gonna get Holly back.
410
00:26:19,035 --> 00:26:21,454
She's all alone in there, Lucas.
411
00:26:22,038 --> 00:26:25,041
Alone with that monster.
412
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:27,960
And I was so sure
that she could make it out.
413
00:26:28,044 --> 00:26:29,588
And I was so stupid.
414
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:32,007
You had to try.
415
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,134
I should have stayed there.
416
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:38,305
And I should have kept her safe.
417
00:26:39,347 --> 00:26:40,974
Then we'd all be screwed.
418
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:44,352
You've been in Vecna's mind.
You can help us beat him.
419
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,855
No. I can't.
420
00:26:50,567 --> 00:26:52,818
I don't even know
where Vecna's keeping Holly.
421
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:54,487
Well, it's a good thing I do.
422
00:26:56,031 --> 00:26:58,491
I know where she is,
but the real challenge is getting there.
423
00:26:59,701 --> 00:27:01,453
I gotta show you guys something.
424
00:27:02,996 --> 00:27:03,913
Okay.
425
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:09,043
So, this is Hawkins,
and this is the Upside Down.
426
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:12,463
We've always assumed the Upside Down
was another dimension opened by Brenner,
427
00:27:12,547 --> 00:27:15,592
but it turns out it's actually a bridge.
428
00:27:16,176 --> 00:27:18,302
More specifically,
an interdimensional bridge
429
00:27:18,386 --> 00:27:19,929
that rips through space-time.
430
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:23,683
It is wildly unstable,
but held together by exotic matter,
431
00:27:23,767 --> 00:27:27,061
which we found dead center
right above the lab.
432
00:27:27,145 --> 00:27:28,437
In theoretical physics,
433
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:30,856
- they call this type of bridge a...
- Wormhole.
434
00:27:30,940 --> 00:27:33,943
And this wormhole connects Hawkins
to here,
435
00:27:34,027 --> 00:27:37,530
another world that I've coined the Abyss.
436
00:27:37,614 --> 00:27:40,408
- Any particular reason?
- A realm of pure chaos and evil.
437
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:42,285
- I'm sorry?
- D&D.
438
00:27:42,369 --> 00:27:43,869
- Jesus Christ.
- Wow.
439
00:27:43,953 --> 00:27:47,832
I believe this Abyss is the true home
of the Demogorgons,
440
00:27:47,916 --> 00:27:49,542
the vines, the Mind Flayer,
441
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:51,961
all the nasty shit we found
in the Upside Down.
442
00:27:52,045 --> 00:27:54,046
It's where all those years ago
you banished Henry.
443
00:27:54,130 --> 00:27:55,256
He was lost for years,
444
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:57,091
and would've stayed lost
if it wasn't for Brenner.
445
00:27:57,175 --> 00:27:59,010
He had me find Henry.
446
00:27:59,094 --> 00:28:02,555
And when you made remote contact
with the Abyss, the bridge formed.
447
00:28:02,639 --> 00:28:05,099
Ever since, Henry and his army
of monsters have been using it
448
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:07,435
to cross right back into Hawkins.
449
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,770
We kicked Vecna's ass last year,
450
00:28:09,854 --> 00:28:13,065
but he just fled across this bridge
back to the Abyss to lick his wounds.
451
00:28:13,149 --> 00:28:14,025
What a pussy.
452
00:28:14,109 --> 00:28:17,653
So all this time,
Vecna's been hiding in the sky?
453
00:28:17,737 --> 00:28:19,905
Explains why every crawl led
to a dead end.
454
00:28:19,989 --> 00:28:22,950
- And why I can't find him in the bath.
- And why Holly fell from the sky.
455
00:28:23,034 --> 00:28:24,952
Yeah, but why is he taking kids up there?
456
00:28:25,036 --> 00:28:26,537
For the same reason he took me.
457
00:28:26,621 --> 00:28:30,583
The minds of children are weaker, right?
More easily molded and controlled.
458
00:28:30,667 --> 00:28:34,253
So he channeled his thoughts and powers
through me to amplify his abilities,
459
00:28:34,337 --> 00:28:35,880
and he's gonna do the same
with those kids.
460
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:37,632
Amplify his abilities?
461
00:28:38,174 --> 00:28:39,175
To do what?
462
00:28:39,259 --> 00:28:40,343
Move worlds.
463
00:28:42,512 --> 00:28:45,723
Holly, she said Henry told the kids
464
00:28:45,807 --> 00:28:49,561
that they would help him
draw the worlds together.
465
00:28:50,687 --> 00:28:53,022
I didn't understand
what that meant at the time, but...
466
00:28:53,106 --> 00:28:55,983
He wants to move the Abyss,
crash it into Hawkins.
467
00:28:56,067 --> 00:28:56,943
No, not crash.
468
00:28:57,527 --> 00:28:58,569
Merge.
469
00:28:58,653 --> 00:29:02,323
Henry wasn't licking his wounds
in the Abyss. He was making rifts,
470
00:29:02,407 --> 00:29:05,409
weakening the Abyss,
just like he weakened Hawkins.
471
00:29:05,493 --> 00:29:07,203
So when the Abyss and Hawkins collide...
472
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:08,204
They become one.
473
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:09,664
He's remaking the world.
474
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:12,833
How long do we think this takes?
To move worlds?
475
00:29:12,917 --> 00:29:15,670
Are we talking like...
Or is this gonna take some time?
476
00:29:15,754 --> 00:29:18,297
We better hope we have some time.
Because if this is all correct,
477
00:29:18,381 --> 00:29:21,092
we have to get 2,000 feet in the air,
find our way into the Abyss,
478
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:24,345
free Holly and the kids, and kill Vecna
all before our worlds merge.
479
00:29:24,429 --> 00:29:25,889
And if my theory's right,
480
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:28,099
he's gonna move worlds tonight.
481
00:29:28,183 --> 00:29:30,017
Have I mentioned
how much I hate your theory?
482
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:31,143
- Me too.
- Me three.
483
00:29:31,227 --> 00:29:33,813
I hate all of this.
484
00:29:33,897 --> 00:29:37,317
But at least now we know
what we're up against
485
00:29:37,942 --> 00:29:39,194
and what we need to do.
486
00:29:40,570 --> 00:29:42,030
We just need a plan.
487
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:02,550
[Knocking]
488
00:30:03,718 --> 00:30:04,803
I'm sorry.
489
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:07,638
I don't mean to pry. It's just...
490
00:30:07,722 --> 00:30:09,307
Everyone's so worried.
491
00:30:10,391 --> 00:30:12,018
Is she gonna be okay?
492
00:30:18,024 --> 00:30:19,483
But you've told her, right,
493
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:22,361
that this Max was just
a monster in disguise?
494
00:30:22,445 --> 00:30:25,072
That it was tricking her, lying.
495
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:26,324
Of course.
496
00:30:27,033 --> 00:30:29,536
I've tried everything,
but she won't listen.
497
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,706
We need her tonight, or we will fail.
498
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:36,375
What did this Max tell her?
499
00:30:36,459 --> 00:30:39,754
Such awful, awful things.
500
00:30:40,255 --> 00:30:42,089
She told her I kidnapped you.
501
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:43,841
- What?
- You rescued us.
502
00:30:43,925 --> 00:30:44,926
I know.
503
00:30:46,302 --> 00:30:48,012
That's not even the worst of it.
504
00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:52,975
She told her I don't wanna save the world.
I wanna end it.
505
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:56,312
- How could she believe that?
- 'Cause she's stupid as shit, that's how.
506
00:30:56,396 --> 00:30:58,273
No, she's not stupid, Thomas.
507
00:30:59,315 --> 00:31:02,943
This monster is incredibly powerful,
and she works for the Black Thing.
508
00:31:03,027 --> 00:31:04,737
She has corrupted Holly's mind
509
00:31:04,821 --> 00:31:07,698
and dragged her out of the light
and taken her into the dark.
510
00:31:07,782 --> 00:31:11,160
Maybe we should just give up
and go home then.
511
00:31:11,244 --> 00:31:13,245
- Go home?
- To be with our parents.
512
00:31:13,329 --> 00:31:14,455
We would all die.
513
00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:15,623
What's wrong with you?
514
00:31:15,707 --> 00:31:16,957
Shut your trap, dipshit.
515
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:19,168
Please let's not turn on each other.
516
00:31:19,252 --> 00:31:21,003
I know we're all upset.
517
00:31:21,087 --> 00:31:22,672
But perhaps Derek is right.
518
00:31:23,756 --> 00:31:27,468
Perhaps I have failed,
and the Black Thing has won.
519
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:29,971
No, we can't let it win.
520
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:32,390
Okay? We won't.
521
00:31:33,516 --> 00:31:35,309
You don't know Holly like we do.
522
00:31:35,393 --> 00:31:37,728
I've been her best friend
since kindergarten.
523
00:31:37,812 --> 00:31:39,146
Debbie's her second-best friend.
524
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:41,440
- And she crushes hard on Josh.
- No, she doesn't.
525
00:31:41,524 --> 00:31:42,691
- She does.
- Totally.
526
00:31:42,775 --> 00:31:46,821
My point is, maybe if we all try
and talk to her, we can fix her.
527
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,949
We can bring her back to the light.
528
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:52,910
Mary's right. We can do it.
529
00:31:52,994 --> 00:31:53,994

[Chanting] Back to the light.

Back to the light. Back to the light.
Back to the light. Back to the light.
532
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:07,675
Back to the light. Back to the light.
Back to the light. Back to the light.

Back to the light. Back to the light.
534
00:32:14,807 --> 00:32:18,102
[Soldier] As for the security cameras,
trench plate...
535
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:20,271
[Akers] Not a bolt cutter.
536
00:32:20,355 --> 00:32:22,231
Yeah, you could safely say that, sir.
537
00:32:28,696 --> 00:32:30,281
She's getting reckless.
538
00:32:31,199 --> 00:32:32,367
Sloppy.
539
00:32:32,992 --> 00:32:34,451
Could be one of those damn monsters.
540
00:32:34,535 --> 00:32:37,079
A monster who breaks padlocks and cameras?
541
00:32:37,163 --> 00:32:38,665
I don't think so.
542
00:32:41,668 --> 00:32:42,669
It's her.
543
00:32:44,796 --> 00:32:47,256
Rally the rest of the team.
Tell them to lock and load.
544
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:48,466
We're going in.
545
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,642
At the base, in the Upside Down,
there's a chopper ready for the taking.
546
00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:03,731
We fly up to the Abyss,
kill the freak, rescue the kids,
547
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:05,816
fly back down.
548
00:33:05,900 --> 00:33:07,651
Who do you expect to fly this thing?
549
00:33:07,735 --> 00:33:10,029
- It's a helicopter. They've got pilots.
- Right.
550
00:33:10,113 --> 00:33:12,281
- We force one to fly.
- Another kidnapping plot. Love it.
551
00:33:12,365 --> 00:33:14,533
How is this pilot gonna fly a chopper
into the rift?
552
00:33:14,617 --> 00:33:17,036
What do you mean? We just fly through it.
553
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,162
- What?
- Idiot.
554
00:33:18,246 --> 00:33:19,413
Just fly through it?
555
00:33:19,497 --> 00:33:23,083
These rotors are like 40 feet wide.
It's too big. It's not gonna fit.
556
00:33:23,167 --> 00:33:25,502
Steve hears that all the time
and goes in anyway. Don't you?
557
00:33:25,586 --> 00:33:28,005
- What the hell is wrong with you?
- It's funny.
558
00:33:28,089 --> 00:33:29,131
[Hopper] Everybody shut up.
559
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:33,552
Look, if somebody else has some magic bean
that I don't know about, I'm all ears.
560
00:33:33,636 --> 00:33:36,889
If not, it's a risk that we gotta take.
We fly, or we die.
561
00:33:36,973 --> 00:33:38,849
- Fly or die.
- Well, then I guess we die.
562
00:33:38,933 --> 00:33:41,769
We're not gonna die
if we commit to a plan.
563
00:33:41,853 --> 00:33:43,812
Can we weigh out
a few more options before...
564
00:33:43,896 --> 00:33:45,856
Yes. We die, I guess.
565
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:48,984
- You said we have to get up 2,000 feet...
- Don't take that shit, Jim.
566
00:33:49,068 --> 00:33:50,861
- You're not listening to each other.
- You guys!
567
00:33:50,945 --> 00:33:52,071
How are you gonna do it?
568
00:33:53,072 --> 00:33:54,073
"Magic bean..."
569
00:33:54,157 --> 00:33:55,950
[Mike] Can we get back on track?
570
00:33:56,034 --> 00:34:00,079
- [Hopper] Let's not even try anything?
- [All arguing]
571
00:34:00,163 --> 00:34:01,830
We don't need a magic bean to climb.
572
00:34:01,914 --> 00:34:03,248
- ...An airplane!
- [Dustin] I'm not--
573
00:34:03,332 --> 00:34:04,709
We don't need a magic bean!
574
00:34:06,586 --> 00:34:10,173
Sorry. Just... We don't... We don't need it.
575
00:34:10,882 --> 00:34:12,091
A magic bean.
576
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:14,469
We got a beanstalk right here.
577
00:34:22,351 --> 00:34:26,481
Okay, this flashlight is
the Squawk radio tower, and this Slinky...
578
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:29,108
Is the bridge.
579
00:34:29,609 --> 00:34:31,819
We'll never reach the Abyss
from the tower, right?
580
00:34:31,903 --> 00:34:35,030
But Max said Vecna is drawing
our worlds together.
581
00:34:35,114 --> 00:34:37,200
So, we let him.
582
00:34:37,825 --> 00:34:39,868
And we wait and wait
583
00:34:39,952 --> 00:34:43,539
as he draws it closer and closer.
When it's close enough,
584
00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:45,708
and the tower is poking
through one of the rifts,
585
00:34:45,792 --> 00:34:47,376
bam! El makes her move,
586
00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:50,045
she does her meditation thingy,
enters Vecna's sick mind
587
00:34:50,129 --> 00:34:51,005
and ambushes him.
588
00:34:51,089 --> 00:34:52,214
In your face, dickhead.
589
00:34:52,298 --> 00:34:55,051
And then, stopping the spell,
halting the worlds from moving.
590
00:34:56,010 --> 00:34:59,013
Wham, voilà!
We've got a beanstalk. It's perfect.
591
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:02,016
All we gotta do
is climb up it into the Abyss.
592
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,977
- I like it.
- It's not totally insane.
593
00:35:05,061 --> 00:35:07,062
- Thank you.
- But there's a problem, a big one.
594
00:35:07,146 --> 00:35:10,816
I can't reach inside Vecna's mind.
He's too far away.
595
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:14,528
Can't you just try? I don't know, load up
on some of your junk food or something?
596
00:35:14,612 --> 00:35:16,197
Or better...
597
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:17,824
We get you close.
598
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:22,369
The Upside Down lab is under his lair,
and it's still frozen in time,
599
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:25,330
which means everything should be there
from Brenner's experiments, including...
600
00:35:25,414 --> 00:35:26,665
The bath.
601
00:35:26,749 --> 00:35:30,294
If you do make it into his mind,
I can walk you through it,
602
00:35:30,378 --> 00:35:31,795
guide you.
603
00:35:31,879 --> 00:35:33,589
I know his sick mind inside and out.
604
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:35,090
I should be there too.
605
00:35:35,174 --> 00:35:38,970
This plan hinges on stopping Henry,
and right now, Jane is fighting him alone.
606
00:35:40,179 --> 00:35:41,680
It doesn't need to be that way.
607
00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:44,142
I can follow her into his mind.
608
00:35:46,394 --> 00:35:48,937
We can end our brother, together.
609
00:35:49,021 --> 00:35:50,606
[Steve] Okay, yeah, I dig it.
610
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:53,651
Sisters kill their brother.
We rescue the kiddos, come home heroes.
611
00:35:54,235 --> 00:35:57,613
And if Lucas is right, we don't have
a lot of time, so we have to move fast.
612
00:35:57,697 --> 00:35:58,697
One final thing.
613
00:35:58,781 --> 00:35:59,865
Cherry on top.
614
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:04,871
On the way out,
we drop a bomb near the exotic matter.
615
00:36:05,913 --> 00:36:08,791
Set a timer, escape the Upside Down.
616
00:36:10,710 --> 00:36:12,753
The bridge collapses, and with it,
617
00:36:13,379 --> 00:36:18,301
the Abyss, the Demos,
the Mind Flayer, all of it, gone.
618
00:36:18,801 --> 00:36:20,970
Game. Set. Match.

Mr. Whatsit?
628
00:36:46,454 --> 00:36:47,288
Downstairs.
629
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:48,497
He's worried about you.
630
00:36:48,581 --> 00:36:49,623
So worried.
631
00:36:49,707 --> 00:36:52,584
No, no, no, no, no.
Mary, you need to listen.
632
00:36:52,668 --> 00:36:55,796
Mr. Whatsit, he's not who he says he is.
He didn't really save us.
633
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,298
- He--
- He's kidnapped us?
634
00:36:57,798 --> 00:37:01,093
He's trying to destroy the world?
Holly, Mr. Whatsit has told us everything.
635
00:37:01,177 --> 00:37:04,054
Those are lies. Evil, nasty lies!
636
00:37:04,138 --> 00:37:07,058
- No, they're not! They're not--
- That other girl you met, Max.
637

She's not a human.
638
00:37:08,684 --> 00:37:09,643
She's a monster.
639
00:37:09,727 --> 00:37:10,853
She twisted your mind.
640
00:37:10,937 --> 00:37:12,647
That's not true.
641
00:37:13,356 --> 00:37:14,481
Max is a friend,

00:37:14,565 --> 00:37:16,024
and she's... she's helping us.
643
00:37:16,108 --> 00:37:19,695
She's helping us get back home,
back to our families.

They're right, Holly.
655
00:37:56,065 --> 00:37:57,608
Max lied to us.

to go with, it had to be her.

Maybe we should too.

No, she's up to something.

You can still go there, to the Abyss.

It's too risky.

I'd be at the heart of the hive mind,

to spy, and it almost got you killed, Max.

of times at the hands of this asshole,

Because I... I don't... I don't want you
to see me differently.
877
00:51:44,768 --> 00:51:46,561
But the truth is...
878
00:51:47,521 --> 00:51:51,315
The... The truth is I am.
879
00:51:51,399 --> 00:51:52,609
I am different.
880
00:51:53,819 --> 00:51:54,694
I just...
881
00:51:55,445 --> 00:51:59,241
I just pretended like I wasn't
because... because I didn't want to be.
882
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:04,287
I wanted to be like everyone else.
I wanted to be like my friends and...
883
00:52:05,372 --> 00:52:06,665
And I am like you.
884
00:52:07,207 --> 00:52:10,001
I'm like you in... in almost every way.
885
00:52:10,085 --> 00:52:12,336
We... We like playing
D&D late into the night.
886
00:52:12,420 --> 00:52:14,881
And we like that old-person smell
in Mike's basement.
887
00:52:14,965 --> 00:52:19,177
And we... we like biking to Melvald's
for malted milkshakes.
888
00:52:19,261 --> 00:52:22,013
And we like getting lost in the woods,
889
00:52:22,097 --> 00:52:25,058
and getting lost in Family Video
and arguing about what to rent
890
00:52:25,142 --> 00:52:27,852
and settling on Holy Grail
for the millionth time.
891
00:52:27,936 --> 00:52:31,522
And... And we like Milk Duds
in our popcorn with extra butter.
892
00:52:31,606 --> 00:52:34,859
And we like drinking Coke with Pop Rocks.
893
00:52:34,943 --> 00:52:37,820
And we like bike races and trading comics
894
00:52:37,904 --> 00:52:41,699
and NASA and Steve Martin
and Lucky Charms and...
895
00:52:41,783 --> 00:52:43,284
Literally all the same things.
896
00:52:43,368 --> 00:52:47,580
I just... I just... I... I just...
897
00:52:47,664 --> 00:52:48,707
I...

I...
899
00:52:52,419 --> 00:52:53,461
I...
900
00:52:53,545 --> 00:52:55,380
I don't like girls.
901
00:53:05,223 --> 00:53:06,349
[Will sighs]
902
00:53:08,602 --> 00:53:09,603
I mean...
903
00:53:10,478 --> 00:53:15,066
I mean I do. Just...
Just not like you guys do.
904
00:53:15,650 --> 00:53:19,737
And I, uh, I had this...
This crush on someone,
905
00:53:19,821 --> 00:53:22,908
even though I know...
I know they're not like me.
906
00:53:24,659 --> 00:53:27,537
But... But then I realized
he's just my Tammy.
907
00:53:27,621 --> 00:53:30,456
And by Tammy,
I mean it was never about him.
908
00:53:30,540 --> 00:53:32,083
It was... It was about me.
909
00:53:32,167 --> 00:53:35,211
And I thought
I was finally okay with myself,
910
00:53:35,295 --> 00:53:37,588
but... but then today...
911
00:53:37,672 --> 00:53:40,800
Today Vecna showed me what would happen
if I did this,
912
00:53:40,884 --> 00:53:43,762
if I told you guys the truth.
913
00:53:44,346 --> 00:53:47,473
He showed me a future, and in this future,
914
00:53:47,557 --> 00:53:51,060
some of you are just...
Are just worried for me.
915
00:53:51,144 --> 00:53:53,271
Worried that things will be harder for me.
916
00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:56,566
And it just makes me feel like
something's wrong with me.
917
00:53:56,650 --> 00:53:58,192
So I... So I push you away.
918
00:53:58,276 --> 00:54:01,487
And for the rest of us,
we just drift apart more
919
00:54:01,571 --> 00:54:05,283
and more and more
and more and more until I'm alone.
920
00:54:05,367 --> 00:54:08,953
And I know none of that has happened,
and Vecna can't see into the future.
921
00:54:09,037 --> 00:54:11,831
But he can see into our minds,
and he knows things.
922
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:16,502
And it just felt so real. It felt so real.
923
00:54:16,586 --> 00:54:17,712
Will.
924
00:54:17,796 --> 00:54:19,630
You gotta listen to me.
925
00:54:19,714 --> 00:54:22,091
That will never ever happen.
926
00:54:22,175 --> 00:54:24,219
You'll never lose me.
927
00:54:24,970 --> 00:54:25,845
Ever.
928
00:54:25,929 --> 00:54:28,598
Okay. Okay.
929
00:54:29,266 --> 00:54:30,850
And you'll never lose me.

938

Sorry. This sucks,
but you're gonna have to hug me.
939
00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:10,640
Oh, Max.
940
00:55:14,352 --> 00:55:17,521
Just imagine
I'm hugging you really tight, okay?
941
00:55:17,605 --> 00:55:18,690
Okay.

El.
944
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,535
I know you're strong enough
to defeat Vecna.
945
00:55:31,619 --> 00:55:34,205
But he can retreat to the physical world,
946
00:55:34,289 --> 00:55:37,292
and we need to be ready
to fight him there too.
947
00:55:37,917 --> 00:55:41,921
We have bullets and fire,
but none of that helped those soldiers.
948
00:55:44,507 --> 00:55:45,508
I need to be there.
949
00:55:48,094 --> 00:55:49,303
And I'm ready.
950
00:55:49,387 --> 00:55:52,724
I'm ready to show him
I'm not afraid anymore.

I don't know about?

That's a negative, private.
