1. Max.
Copy !req
2. Max. Max, can you hear me? Max.
Copy !req
3. Come on. Open your eyes. Yes! Yes, Max!
Copy !req
4. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
5. Max!
Copy !req
6. Yes! Stay with me. Stay with me.
Copy !req
7. All the way, Max.
Copy !req
8. Yes! That's it! That's it!
Copy !req
9. Hello, Lucas.
Copy !req
10. Yes. Max. Come on, Max. It's me.
I'm right here. I'm right here, Max.
Copy !req
11. Are you... Are you... Are you okay?
Do you... Do you hurt anywhere?
Copy !req
12. I can't feel... much.
Copy !req
13. Do you... Do you feel this?
Do you feel my hand?
Copy !req
14. A little.
Copy !req
15. Can... Can you... Can you see?
Copy !req
16. The lights are really... are really bright.
Copy !req
17. Hey.
Copy !req
18. You haven't used your eyes, okay,
or your muscles for a long time.
Copy !req
19. Okay, your body's just weak,
Copy !req
20. but it just needs to readjust
and learn again.
Copy !req
21. You are going to be okay.
Copy !req
22. You're gonna be okay.
Copy !req
23. I knew you were there.
Copy !req
24. I always knew you were still there.
Copy !req
25. I saw you.
Copy !req
26. Waiting for me,
Copy !req
27. playing my... my song.
Copy !req
28. You bored of it yet?
Copy !req
29. Are you?
Copy !req
30. It turns out
Copy !req
31. that the whole time,
Copy !req
32. I didn't even need it.
Copy !req
33. I just needed you.
Copy !req
34. Just you.
Copy !req
35. I don't wanna swim forever
Copy !req
36. When it's cold I'd like to die
Copy !req
37. I don't wanna...
Copy !req
38. - Oh my God.
- Max.
Copy !req
39. You're here. You're really here.
Copy !req
40. I'm here.
Copy !req
41. Hey, welcome home, kid.
Copy !req
42. Took your sweet time, didn't you?
Copy !req
43. Screw you, Wheeler.
Copy !req
44. Where am I?
Copy !req
45. Oh.
Copy !req
46. Yeah, that would be confusing. Um...
Copy !req
47. You were being hunted by the Demo-dogs,
Copy !req
48. and we were all seconds away
from becoming lunch
Copy !req
49. when Mrs. Wheeler came and...
Copy !req
50. did the laundry.
Copy !req
51. Holy shit! Mom!
Copy !req
52. Vecna.
Copy !req
53. He'll be angry.
Copy !req
54. He'll try and find me.
Copy !req
55. He'll know we escaped.
Copy !req
56. Where's Holly?
Copy !req
57. Where is she?
Copy !req
58. Jonathan.
Copy !req
59. Jonathan.
Copy !req
60. Jonathan, stop.
Copy !req
61. What?
Copy !req
62. If we hurt ourselves,
we're really screwed.
Copy !req
63. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Copy !req
64. Oh, God.
Copy !req
65. Okay, so now what?
Copy !req
66. Anything else you wanna confess?
Copy !req
67. Stay back.
Copy !req
68. Sorry we're late.
Copy !req
69. You okay?
Copy !req
70. Yeah. Yeah, we're okay.
Copy !req
71. Thanks.
Copy !req
72. Was that weird? I'm sorry. That was weird.
Copy !req
73. I didn't... We just... We both thought...
Copy !req
74. - We were goners. Yeah, we did too.
- Yes.
Copy !req
75. Turns out that shield generator of yours...
Copy !req
76. Isn't really a shield generator.
Yeah, we know.
Copy !req
77. Well, you'd think that would have been
good information to share.
Copy !req
78. Well, we tried.
Copy !req
79. Antenna snapped.
Copy !req
80. His fault.
Copy !req
81. Okay, so then what the hell did I shoot?
Copy !req
82. Exotic matter.
Copy !req
83. And we're supposed to know what that is?
Copy !req
84. It's all in here. Look. Check this out.
Copy !req
85. Dr. Brenner's notebook from '83.
Copy !req
86. This thing is a gold mine.
Copy !req
87. All his research into the gate,
how he created it, what it really is.
Copy !req
88. I'm still deciphering it, but...
Copy !req
89. Yeah, this shit will fry your brain.
Copy !req
90. Cliff notes, Holly isn't
on the other side of the wall.
Copy !req
91. Then where is she?
Copy !req
92. I don't know... exactly.
Copy !req
93. But wherever she is,
it's not the Upside Down.
Copy !req
94. When he took me,
he opened the fourth, final gate,
Copy !req
95. splitting Hawkins in two.
Copy !req
96. You can do this.
Copy !req
97. - What was that?
- What was what?
Copy !req
98. Holly.
Copy !req
99. Voyager Beta.
Copy !req
100. Any signal yet?
Copy !req
101. Negative, Voyager Alpha. Voyager Gamma?
Copy !req
102. A big, fat zero over here.
Copy !req
103. Your balloon experiment is a dud,
Snookums.
Copy !req
104. Let's just put the antenna on the van
and drive.
Copy !req
105. As I've said, Voyager Gamma,
given the uneven terrain
Copy !req
106. and forested nature of Hawkins,
Copy !req
107. a vehicle
is simply not the most expedient way
Copy !req
108. to pinpoint a telemetry tag.
Copy !req
109. "Expedient"? We've been building
your goddamn balloon experiment
Copy !req
110. for six hours!
Copy !req
111. Yes, but once we trilaterate
the three signals,
Copy !req
112. I'll be able to pinpoint
Dustin's precise location.
Copy !req
113. You can't trilaterate shit
if we can't get a signal,
Copy !req
114. so let's just cut our losses now
Copy !req
115. before your star student winds up
dead in a ditch.
Copy !req
116. "Cut our losses..."
Copy !req
117. Fortune favors the bold.
Copy !req
118. I've secured a location on Dustin.
Copy !req
119. Loose your balloons, Voyagers.
Copy !req
120. - Come again?
- Wait, hold on. What?
Copy !req
121. We need more height. Loose your balloons.
Copy !req
122. Negative 80!
Copy !req
123. Negative 44.
Copy !req
124. I take it back, Snookums,
you mad, mad genius!
Copy !req
125. Thank you, Voyager.
Calculations incoming. Hold tight.
Copy !req
126. You are going to be my spy
Copy !req
127. one last time.
Copy !req
128. Will.
Copy !req
129. Hopper just radioed.
Copy !req
130. Max is safe. She got out.
Copy !req
131. Hey, this is good news.
Copy !req
132. None of this would have happened
if it weren't for you.
Copy !req
133. Everything's gonna be okay.
Copy !req
134. But for how long, Mom?
Copy !req
135. If Lucas is right, today is the day,
Copy !req
136. the day Vecna's gonna act.
Copy !req
137. I thought I had him. But the truth...
Copy !req
138. The truth is I never stood a chance.
Copy !req
139. And he knew it. He's always known it.
Copy !req
140. That's why, out of everyone in Hawkins,
he chose me.
Copy !req
141. Because he knew I was weak,
and he knew he could control me.
Copy !req
142. That is not true.
Copy !req
143. It is, Mom. It is.
Copy !req
144. I was his vessel.
Copy !req
145. A vessel to channel his powers, to spy,
Copy !req
146. and... and to build.
Copy !req
147. "To... To build"?
Copy !req
148. The tunnels.
Copy !req
149. They didn't spread from the gate
on their own.
Copy !req
150. Every night, I jacked into the hive
and took control of the vines,
Copy !req
151. using them to tunnel,
infecting our world with the Upside Down.
Copy !req
152. So many died because of me.
Copy !req
153. And if I could do all of that,
Copy !req
154. what could he do with 12 more like me?
Copy !req
155. You listen to me.
Copy !req
156. None of what happened is your fault.
Copy !req
157. Do you hear me?
Copy !req
158. And as for his big plan,
Copy !req
159. he's not gonna have 12 vessels,
or whatever the hell he calls them,
Copy !req
160. because he just lost Holly,
and she'll know where the others are.
Copy !req
161. Sweetheart, this is not over,
not by a long shot.
Copy !req
162. You're wrong.
Copy !req
163. You're wrong, Mom.
Copy !req
164. It's my fault.
Copy !req
165. No.
Copy !req
166. No, baby.
Copy !req
167. Go! Go!
Copy !req
168. I couldn't see
where Holly was gonna wake up.
Copy !req
169. But I figured
Copy !req
170. wherever Vecna was keeping her,
Copy !req
171. it had to be in the Upside Down.
Copy !req
172. So...
Copy !req
173. I told her to just go home.
Copy !req
174. Home? Home as in our home?
Copy !req
175. Meaning we have to get
back into the Upside Down.
Copy !req
176. - Where is the nearest rift to you?
- Off Cornwallis, I think.
Copy !req
177. About a mile and a half, give or take.
Copy !req
178. Lucas, do you copy?
Copy !req
179. - Oh, Robin.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
180. Lucas!
Copy !req
181. Erica, I really can't talk right now.
Copy !req
182. Okay, so Vecna took out those soldiers,
Copy !req
183. so it should be a lot easier
to get into the MAC.
Copy !req
184. No. They're gonna have reinforcements
by now.
Copy !req
185. I can break through a plate.
Copy !req
186. Are you saying that Holly is trapped
under a steel plate?
Copy !req
187. Without context,
that might sound troubling,
Copy !req
188. but she's not pancaked under a giant hunk
of steel or anything. She's...
Copy !req
189. How do I talk about this?
Copy !req
190. - Well, there's this world under ours...
- Under the plates.
Copy !req
191. The Upside Down.
Copy !req
192. Yeah, and it's just like Hawkins,
only way suckier.
Copy !req
193. Guys, guys, guys.
Okay, you really won't believe this,
Copy !req
194. but Erica and Mr. Clarke came through.
They found Dustin and the others.
Copy !req
195. All right. Well, they're gonna be able
to find Holly a lot easier than we are.
Copy !req
196. We better hurry. We got company.
Copy !req
197. Hey, hey. Are you okay?
Copy !req
198. I'm fine, Michael. I'm fine.
Copy !req
199. No, with all due respect, Mrs. Wheeler,
you're not.
Copy !req
200. You could get an infection, hemorrhage,
God forbid, stop breathing.
Copy !req
201. If you think I'm gonna stay in bed
when my daughter needs me,
Copy !req
202. you're out of your goddamn mind. Let's go.
Copy !req
203. Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom. She's right.
Copy !req
204. It's okay. Keep going.
Copy !req
205. Hey, you saved us.
Copy !req
206. You saved us.
Copy !req
207. And by some miracle,
you're still here, okay?
Copy !req
208. But now, you need to trust me that
we can handle this the rest of the way.
Copy !req
209. There might be more of those things
out there.
Copy !req
210. They're called Demogorgons. I know.
Copy !req
211. There's so much that I need
to tell you about this Upside Down and El,
Copy !req
212. but right now, all you need to know is
Copy !req
213. that this group saved Will
when no one else could.
Copy !req
214. We did that.
Copy !req
215. And we're about to do the same thing
with Holly.
Copy !req
216. We're gonna bring her back to you, Mom.
I promise. Okay?
Copy !req
217. Yeah?
Copy !req
218. Mr. Clarke, thanks for the assist.
Copy !req
219. Don't thank me yet.
Copy !req
220. We successfully trilaterated
Dustin's position here,
Copy !req
221. to precisely where I stand now.
Copy !req
222. But by the time we arrived, he was MIA.
Copy !req
223. Well, he wouldn't be precisely here.
He'd be under.
Copy !req
224. Sorry?
Copy !req
225. You didn't tell him?
Copy !req
226. - I...
- Told me what?
Copy !req
227. Holy shit.
Copy !req
228. Holy shit.
Copy !req
229. Hey, over here! Over here!
Copy !req
230. I got him! I got him!
Copy !req
231. I got Dustin!
Copy !req
232. - I don't hear anything.
- Patience.
Copy !req
233. Is anyone there? Repeat, this is Dustin.
Copy !req
234. Dustin, it's Mike.
Holly's escaped from Vecna,
Copy !req
235. and she's on her way to my house
in the Upside Down.
Copy !req
236. I need you to get there as fast as you can
and rendezvous with Holly. Do you copy?
Copy !req
237. Holly's not at the house.
We found her. We found Holly. Repeat, we—
Copy !req
238. Dustin, I'm losing you.
Copy !req
239. Dustin?
Copy !req
240. Am I going crazy, or did he just say
that he found Holly?
Copy !req
241. All right, let's hug this wall up here.
Copy !req
242. Why would she be at the lab?
Copy !req
243. Wherever she escaped from,
the lab must've been en route to my house.
Copy !req
244. She just happened to run into Dustin?
What are the odds?
Copy !req
245. Low as shit,
Copy !req
246. but I say it's about damn time
we had some luck.
Copy !req
247. Amen to that.
Copy !req
248. I'm sorry. I still don't follow.
Dustin is under those plates?
Copy !req
249. - Yes.
- But not pancaked.
Copy !req
250. Hang on. Hang on.
Copy !req
251. Yeah, we got cameras all over that rift.
Copy !req
252. I have an old spectrum analyzer
back at the club.
Copy !req
253. If I can just locate their RF signal,
I should be able to jam the transmission.
Copy !req
254. That's cool.
Copy !req
255. I think you're overthinking it.
Copy !req
256. You're telling me Alford
wouldn't have doubled that score?
Copy !req
257. Four from six from the field.
Copy !req
258. Reggie's gonna be something special,
you mark my words.
Copy !req
259. Walsh can do no...
Copy !req
260. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Copy !req
261. You coming, Snookums?
Copy !req
262. We're going in there?
Copy !req
263. We're going in there.
Copy !req
264. Steve!
Copy !req
265. Dustin!
Copy !req
266. Steve!
Copy !req
267. Nancy! Holly!
Copy !req
268. Jonathan!
Copy !req
269. Is this shit safe to breathe?
Copy !req
270. Unclear.
Copy !req
271. Okay.
Copy !req
272. Mike, any luck down there?
Copy !req
273. Mike? Mike!
Copy !req
274. Found him.
Copy !req
275. Jesus, it's good to see you guys.
Copy !req
276. Nancy?
Copy !req
277. Where is she?
Copy !req
278. Where's Holly?
Copy !req
279. - What was that?
- What was what?
Copy !req
280. Holly.
Copy !req
281. Nancy! Nancy!
Copy !req
282. - Holly! Holly!
- Nancy, help me!
Copy !req
283. - Nancy, help me! Help me down, please!
- Holly!
Copy !req
284. Nancy! Nancy, please!
Copy !req
285. Holly!
Copy !req
286. Nancy!
Copy !req
287. It was like something had a hold
of her, but you couldn't see anything.
Copy !req
288. It was him.
Copy !req
289. Vecna. It had to be.
Copy !req
290. Mike?
Copy !req
291. Is Holly okay, Mike? Mike, do you copy?
Copy !req
292. I repeat, is Holly okay?
Copy !req
293. Don't worry, Holly.
Copy !req
294. It will all be over soon.
Copy !req
295. It will all be over.
Copy !req
296. It was some sort of demon,
a demon from that other world.
Copy !req
297. He can control monsters,
Copy !req
298. move Humvees,
Copy !req
299. stop fire.
Copy !req
300. Bullets didn't touch him.
Copy !req
301. Hell, nothing could.
Copy !req
302. It wasn't a fight.
Copy !req
303. It was a damn massacre.
Copy !req
304. First we get mutant dogs at the hospital.
Copy !req
305. Now a goddamn demon in the MAC?
Copy !req
306. You wanna tell me what else
is about to pop out of that hellhole,
Copy !req
307. or should we leave it a surprise?
Copy !req
308. I don't know if you've noticed,
but suddenly we're light on men.
Copy !req
309. Reinforcements are on the way.
Copy !req
310. Any additional requests,
talk to your unit commander.
Copy !req
311. How am I to know what to request
when I don't know what I'm fighting?
Copy !req
312. You're not fighting anything.
This is not a war. It is a search.
Copy !req
313. Something gets in your way, kill it.
Copy !req
314. But otherwise,
keep your focus on finding the girl.
Copy !req
315. Yeah, find the girl.
Christ, is that all you can say?
Copy !req
316. I mean, you got a pull string
under that jacket of yours or what?
Copy !req
317. Everything that has happened here
is because of that girl.
Copy !req
318. And if you had just done your job
and found her,
Copy !req
319. then I wouldn't have to repeat myself,
and we'd have those monsters in Moscow
Copy !req
320. where they'd be killing Soviets
instead of Americans.
Copy !req
321. The dead men, the children,
Copy !req
322. their blood is on your hands, Lieutenant,
not mine.
Copy !req
323. And unless you want to join them,
I would watch that goddamn tongue.
Copy !req
324. Lt. Akers, this is Bravo One. Do you copy?
Copy !req
325. Yeah, what is it?
Copy !req
326. We've got a rift breach at the old lab.
Copy !req
327. On my way.
Copy !req
328. You okay?
Copy !req
329. Max.
Copy !req
330. So I leave you alone for a second,
and you turn into a sorcerer?
Copy !req
331. It was a little more than a second,
and I'm not really a sorcerer.
Copy !req
332. Mm, sure seemed like it to me.
Copy !req
333. Hey, you up for a tour?
Copy !req
334. Jimmy "Fast Hands" skipped town
before quarantine,
Copy !req
335. so we just sort of moved in here.
Copy !req
336. The basement is hidden
behind this bookshelf over there.
Copy !req
337. Not quite the Batcave,
but it's pretty sweet.
Copy !req
338. We kept the station going as cover.
Robin's our DJ.
Copy !req
339. - Rockin' Robin.
- Rockin' Robin, my bad.
Copy !req
340. And Steve's her sound man.
Copy !req
341. Check this out.
Copy !req
342. Hey...
Copy !req
343. We're gonna get Holly back.
Copy !req
344. She's all alone in there, Lucas.
Copy !req
345. Alone with that monster.
Copy !req
346. And I was so sure
that she could make it out.
Copy !req
347. And I was so stupid.
Copy !req
348. You had to try.
Copy !req
349. I should have stayed there.
Copy !req
350. And I should have kept her safe.
Copy !req
351. Then we'd all be screwed.
Copy !req
352. You've been in Vecna's mind.
You can help us beat him.
Copy !req
353. No. I can't.
Copy !req
354. I don't even know
where Vecna's keeping Holly.
Copy !req
355. Well, it's a good thing I do.
Copy !req
356. I know where she is,
but the real challenge is getting there.
Copy !req
357. I gotta show you guys something.
Copy !req
358. Okay.
Copy !req
359. So, this is Hawkins,
and this is the Upside Down.
Copy !req
360. We've always assumed the Upside Down
was another dimension opened by Brenner,
Copy !req
361. but it turns out it's actually a bridge.
Copy !req
362. More specifically,
an interdimensional bridge
Copy !req
363. that rips through space-time.
Copy !req
364. It is wildly unstable,
but held together by exotic matter,
Copy !req
365. which we found dead center
right above the lab.
Copy !req
366. In theoretical physics,
Copy !req
367. - they call this type of bridge a...
- Wormhole.
Copy !req
368. And this wormhole connects Hawkins
to here,
Copy !req
369. another world that I've coined the Abyss.
Copy !req
370. - Any particular reason?
- A realm of pure chaos and evil.
Copy !req
371. - I'm sorry?
- D&D.
Copy !req
372. - Jesus Christ.
- Wow.
Copy !req
373. I believe this Abyss is the true home
of the Demogorgons,
Copy !req
374. the vines, the Mind Flayer,
Copy !req
375. all the nasty shit we found
in the Upside Down.
Copy !req
376. It's where all those years ago
you banished Henry.
Copy !req
377. He was lost for years,
Copy !req
378. and would've stayed lost
if it wasn't for Brenner.
Copy !req
379. He had me find Henry.
Copy !req
380. And when you made remote contact
with the Abyss, the bridge formed.
Copy !req
381. Ever since, Henry and his army
of monsters have been using it
Copy !req
382. to cross right back into Hawkins.
Copy !req
383. We kicked Vecna's ass last year,
Copy !req
384. but he just fled across this bridge
back to the Abyss to lick his wounds.
Copy !req
385. What a pussy.
Copy !req
386. So all this time,
Vecna's been hiding in the sky?
Copy !req
387. Explains why every crawl led
to a dead end.
Copy !req
388. - And why I can't find him in the bath.
- And why Holly fell from the sky.
Copy !req
389. Yeah, but why is he taking kids up there?
Copy !req
390. For the same reason he took me.
Copy !req
391. The minds of children are weaker, right?
More easily molded and controlled.
Copy !req
392. So he channeled his thoughts and powers
through me to amplify his abilities,
Copy !req
393. and he's gonna do the same
with those kids.
Copy !req
394. Amplify his abilities?
Copy !req
395. To do what?
Copy !req
396. Move worlds.
Copy !req
397. Holly, she said Henry told the kids
Copy !req
398. that they would help him
draw the worlds together.
Copy !req
399. I didn't understand
what that meant at the time, but...
Copy !req
400. He wants to move the Abyss,
crash it into Hawkins.
Copy !req
401. No, not crash.
Copy !req
402. Merge.
Copy !req
403. Henry wasn't licking his wounds
in the Abyss. He was making rifts,
Copy !req
404. weakening the Abyss,
just like he weakened Hawkins.
Copy !req
405. So when the Abyss and Hawkins collide...
Copy !req
406. They become one.
Copy !req
407. He's remaking the world.
Copy !req
408. How long do we think this takes?
To move worlds?
Copy !req
409. Are we talking like...
Or is this gonna take some time?
Copy !req
410. We better hope we have some time.
Because if this is all correct,
Copy !req
411. we have to get 2,000 feet in the air,
find our way into the Abyss,
Copy !req
412. free Holly and the kids, and kill Vecna
all before our worlds merge.
Copy !req
413. And if my theory's right,
Copy !req
414. he's gonna move worlds tonight.
Copy !req
415. Have I mentioned
how much I hate your theory?
Copy !req
416. - Me too.
- Me three.
Copy !req
417. I hate all of this.
Copy !req
418. But at least now we know
what we're up against
Copy !req
419. and what we need to do.
Copy !req
420. We just need a plan.
Copy !req
421. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
422. I don't mean to pry. It's just...
Copy !req
423. everyone's so worried.
Copy !req
424. Is she gonna be okay?
Copy !req
425. But you've told her, right,
Copy !req
426. that this Max was just
a monster in disguise?
Copy !req
427. That it was tricking her, lying.
Copy !req
428. Of course.
Copy !req
429. I've tried everything,
but she won't listen.
Copy !req
430. We need her tonight, or we will fail.
Copy !req
431. What did this Max tell her?
Copy !req
432. Such awful, awful things.
Copy !req
433. She told her I kidnapped you.
Copy !req
434. - What?
- You rescued us.
Copy !req
435. I know.
Copy !req
436. That's not even the worst of it.
Copy !req
437. She told her I don't wanna save the world.
I wanna end it.
Copy !req
438. - How could she believe that?
- 'Cause she's stupid as shit, that's how.
Copy !req
439. No, she's not stupid, Thomas.
Copy !req
440. This monster is incredibly powerful,
and she works for the Black Thing.
Copy !req
441. She has corrupted Holly's mind
Copy !req
442. and dragged her out of the light
and taken her into the dark.
Copy !req
443. Maybe we should just give up
and go home then.
Copy !req
444. - Go home?
- To be with our parents.
Copy !req
445. We would all die.
Copy !req
446. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
447. Shut your trap, dipshit.
Copy !req
448. Please let's not turn on each other.
Copy !req
449. I know we're all upset.
Copy !req
450. But perhaps Derek is right.
Copy !req
451. Perhaps I have failed,
and the Black Thing has won.
Copy !req
452. No, we can't let it win.
Copy !req
453. Okay? We won't.
Copy !req
454. You don't know Holly like we do.
Copy !req
455. I've been her best friend
since kindergarten.
Copy !req
456. Debbie's her second-best friend.
Copy !req
457. - And she crushes hard on Josh.
- No, she doesn't.
Copy !req
458. - She does.
- Totally.
Copy !req
459. My point is, maybe if we all try
and talk to her, we can fix her.
Copy !req
460. We can bring her back to the light.
Copy !req
461. Mary's right. We can do it.
Copy !req
462. Back to the light. Back to the light.
Back to the light. Back to the light.
Copy !req
463. Back to the light.
Back to the light. Back to the light.
Copy !req
464. As for the security cameras, trench plate...
Copy !req
465. Not a bolt cutter.
Copy !req
466. Yeah, you could safely say that, sir.
Copy !req
467. She's getting reckless.
Copy !req
468. Sloppy.
Copy !req
469. Could be one of those damn monsters.
Copy !req
470. A monster who breaks padlocks and cameras?
Copy !req
471. I don't think so.
Copy !req
472. It's her.
Copy !req
473. Rally the rest of the team.
Tell them to lock and load.
Copy !req
474. We're going in.
Copy !req
475. At the base, in the Upside Down,
there's a chopper ready for the taking.
Copy !req
476. We fly up to the Abyss,
kill the freak, rescue the kids,
Copy !req
477. fly back down.
Copy !req
478. Who do you expect to fly this thing?
Copy !req
479. - It's a helicopter. They've got pilots.
- Right.
Copy !req
480. - We force one to fly.
- Another kidnapping plot. Love it.
Copy !req
481. How is this pilot gonna fly a chopper
into the rift?
Copy !req
482. What do you mean? We just fly through it.
Copy !req
483. - What?
- Idiot.
Copy !req
484. Just fly through it?
Copy !req
485. These rotors are like 40 feet wide.
It's too big. It's not gonna fit.
Copy !req
486. Steve hears that all the time
and goes in anyway. Don't you?
Copy !req
487. - What the hell is wrong with you?
- It's funny.
Copy !req
488. Everybody shut up.
Copy !req
489. Look, if somebody else has some magic bean
that I don't know about, I'm all ears.
Copy !req
490. If not, it's a risk that we gotta take.
We fly, or we die.
Copy !req
491. - Fly or die.
- Well, then I guess we die.
Copy !req
492. We're not gonna die
if we commit to a plan.
Copy !req
493. Can we weigh out
a few more options before...
Copy !req
494. Yes. We die, I guess.
Copy !req
495. - You said we have to get up 2,000 feet...
- Don't take that shit, Jim.
Copy !req
496. - You're not listening to each other.
- You guys!
Copy !req
497. How are you gonna do it?
Copy !req
498. "Magic bean..."
Copy !req
499. Can we get back on track?
Copy !req
500. Let's not even try anything?
Copy !req
501. We don't need a magic bean to climb.
Copy !req
502. - ... an airplane!
- I'm not—
Copy !req
503. We don't need a magic bean!
Copy !req
504. Sorry. Just... We don't... We don't need it.
Copy !req
505. A magic bean.
Copy !req
506. We got a beanstalk right here.
Copy !req
507. Okay, this flashlight is
the Squawk radio tower, and this Slinky...
Copy !req
508. is the bridge.
Copy !req
509. We'll never reach the Abyss
from the tower, right?
Copy !req
510. But Max said Vecna is drawing
our worlds together.
Copy !req
511. So, we let him.
Copy !req
512. And we wait and wait
Copy !req
513. as he draws it closer and closer.
When it's close enough,
Copy !req
514. and the tower is poking
through one of the rifts,
Copy !req
515. bam! El makes her move,
Copy !req
516. she does her meditation thingy,
enters Vecna's sick mind
Copy !req
517. and ambushes him.
Copy !req
518. In your face, dickhead.
Copy !req
519. And then, stopping the spell,
halting the worlds from moving.
Copy !req
520. Wham, voilà!
We've got a beanstalk. It's perfect.
Copy !req
521. All we gotta do
is climb up it into the Abyss.
Copy !req
522. - I like it.
- It's not totally insane.
Copy !req
523. - Thank you.
- But there's a problem, a big one.
Copy !req
524. I can't reach inside Vecna's mind.
He's too far away.
Copy !req
525. Can't you just try? I don't know, load up
on some of your junk food or something?
Copy !req
526. Or better...
Copy !req
527. We get you close.
Copy !req
528. The Upside Down lab is under his lair,
and it's still frozen in time,
Copy !req
529. which means everything should be there
from Brenner's experiments, including...
Copy !req
530. The bath.
Copy !req
531. If you do make it into his mind,
I can walk you through it,
Copy !req
532. guide you.
Copy !req
533. I know his sick mind inside and out.
Copy !req
534. I should be there too.
Copy !req
535. This plan hinges on stopping Henry,
and right now, Jane is fighting him alone.
Copy !req
536. It doesn't need to be that way.
Copy !req
537. I can follow her into his mind.
Copy !req
538. We can end our brother, together.
Copy !req
539. Okay, yeah, I dig it.
Copy !req
540. Sisters kill their brother.
We rescue the kiddos, come home heroes.
Copy !req
541. And if Lucas is right, we don't have
a lot of time, so we have to move fast.
Copy !req
542. One final thing.
Copy !req
543. Cherry on top.
Copy !req
544. On the way out,
we drop a bomb near the exotic matter.
Copy !req
545. Set a timer, escape the Upside Down.
Copy !req
546. The bridge collapses, and with it,
Copy !req
547. the Abyss, the Demos,
the Mind Flayer, all of it, gone.
Copy !req
548. Game. Set. Match.
Copy !req
549. Holly! Holly!
Copy !req
550. Hey. It's okay. You're safe.
Copy !req
551. You're safe now. You're with us. Okay?
Copy !req
552. Welcome back, Holly.
Copy !req
553. Welcome.
Copy !req
554. Where is he?
Copy !req
555. Mr. Whatsit?
Copy !req
556. Downstairs.
Copy !req
557. He's worried about you.
Copy !req
558. So worried.
Copy !req
559. No, no, no, no, no.
Mary, you need to listen.
Copy !req
560. Mr. Whatsit, he's not who he says he is.
He didn't really save us.
Copy !req
561. - He—
- He's kidnapped us?
Copy !req
562. He's trying to destroy the world?
Holly, Mr. Whatsit has told us everything.
Copy !req
563. Those are lies. Evil, nasty lies!
Copy !req
564. - No, they're not! They're not—
- That other girl you met, Max.
Copy !req
565. She's not a human.
Copy !req
566. She's a monster.
Copy !req
567. She twisted your mind.
Copy !req
568. That's not true.
Copy !req
569. Max is a friend,
Copy !req
570. and she's... she's helping us.
Copy !req
571. She's helping us get back home,
back to our families.
Copy !req
572. We're all trapped.
Copy !req
573. Trapped in Mr. Whatsit's mind.
Copy !req
574. Everything you see, none of it is real!
Copy !req
575. Come on, you have to believe me.
Copy !req
576. Please.
Copy !req
577. You have to believe me.
You have to believe me.
Copy !req
578. You gotta believe me.
Copy !req
579. Derek.
Copy !req
580. Derek, tell them.
Copy !req
581. Tell them. Tell them!
Copy !req
582. They're right, Holly.
Copy !req
583. Max lied to us.
Copy !req
584. I don't... understand.
Copy !req
585. Everything she showed me just...
Copy !req
586. seemed so real.
Copy !req
587. I knew not to go into the woods.
Copy !req
588. But I... I went there anyway, and...
Copy !req
589. And I just... I just feel so...
Copy !req
590. so stupid.
Copy !req
591. - You're not stupid, Holly.
- None of this is your fault.
Copy !req
592. Holly.
Copy !req
593. You know, the important thing is that
you're here. You're here just in ti—
Copy !req
594. Holly, stop it!
Copy !req
595. Bitch! Get her!
Copy !req
596. Get her!
Copy !req
597. Well, I was hoping
for a slightly more delicate landing, but...
Copy !req
598. I suppose that'll do.
Copy !req
599. You're welcome.
Copy !req
600. Of all the people she had
to go with, it had to be her.
Copy !req
601. El trusts her. Maybe we should too.
Copy !req
602. No, she's up to something.
I'm sure of it. I just...
Copy !req
603. El's not gonna listen to me.
Copy !req
604. What happened to the two of you
down there?
Copy !req
605. She thinks I don't believe in her.
Copy !req
606. - Which isn't true.
- No, of course not.
Copy !req
607. Well, have you told her that?
Copy !req
608. She thinks she's invincible,
Copy !req
609. and that's not the case.
Copy !req
610. Yeah, that's not what I asked.
Copy !req
611. I can work on repairing things between us
when I get on the other side of this,
Copy !req
612. but right now, I need to make sure
she gets out of this alive.
Copy !req
613. That Kali makes one false move,
I swear to God, I'm gonna kill her.
Copy !req
614. I'm gonna kill her. I will not hesitate.
Copy !req
615. Anything happens to El in that tank,
I am pulling her out.
Copy !req
616. I can't lose her, Joyce.
Copy !req
617. I can't.
Copy !req
618. One last crawl.
Copy !req
619. One last crawl.
Copy !req
620. It gives me a headache
trying to understand all this.
Copy !req
621. But I think I got a C- in physics,
so I'll trust the nerds.
Copy !req
622. Do you think it'll work? The plan?
Copy !req
623. I mean, it has to, right?
Copy !req
624. I just wish I wasn't stuck here.
Copy !req
625. I feel useless.
Copy !req
626. El and Kali are gonna need you
in the mind. I'm the one who's useless.
Copy !req
627. You can still go there, to the Abyss.
Copy !req
628. It's too risky.
Copy !req
629. I'd be at the heart of the hive mind,
and I don't know what would happen.
Copy !req
630. Last time I got too close, he used me
to spy, and it almost got you killed, Max.
Copy !req
631. You also saved my life, remember?
Copy !req
632. Plus, I've been almost killed plenty
of times at the hands of this asshole,
Copy !req
633. so I'm kind of used to it at this point.
Copy !req
634. How did you survive in there,
this whole time in Henry's mind?
Copy !req
635. Honestly, luck.
Copy !req
636. I found this cave.
Copy !req
637. It was this old memory of his,
Copy !req
638. and he was terrified of it.
Copy !req
639. He wouldn't go in.
Copy !req
640. Scared the living shit out of him.
Copy !req
641. Underneath all those scars,
he's still human.
Copy !req
642. A psychopath
with a serious god complex, but...
Copy !req
643. human.
Copy !req
644. I guess
we're all scared of something, right?
Copy !req
645. Okay, Wheeler, how's it going
with your contraption?
Copy !req
646. Okay, so just imagine that this bike bell
is the bomb's remote trigger, okay?
Copy !req
647. So when this wire touches
this warrior here, kaboom.
Copy !req
648. Genius.
Copy !req
649. One thing is, I don't know
if we can blow up the Upside Down
Copy !req
650. to the dulcet tones
of the Butthole Surfers.
Copy !req
651. I built the bomb.
I should be able to pick the record.
Copy !req
652. You can pick the record.
Copy !req
653. You just have to follow one simple rule,
which is pick a good record.
Copy !req
654. This is a great record!
Copy !req
655. As far as save-the-world soundtracks goes,
this one's lacking.
Copy !req
656. What would you pick?
Copy !req
657. The Replacements.
I can't not think of better records.
Copy !req
658. Okay, enough, Lester Bangs, okay?
Copy !req
659. Hey. Hey!
Copy !req
660. Have you handled one of these before?
Copy !req
661. Not exactly, but, you know, BB guns,
air rifles... ... Duck Hunt.
Copy !req
662. Duck Hunt.
Copy !req
663. He is remarkably good at it.
Copy !req
664. But I have a better idea.
Copy !req
665. Come on.
Copy !req
666. These babies are deadlier than they look.
Copy !req
667. You sure?
Copy !req
668. Mm.
Copy !req
669. - Hey, Dustin?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
670. Hey, about, uh, some of the stuff
that I said earlier. I just—
Copy !req
671. - It's fine. It's okay.
- No, just...
Copy !req
672. It's not okay.
Copy !req
673. Eddie...
Copy !req
674. He saved your life.
Copy !req
675. Our lives.
Copy !req
676. And I know what he meant to you.
I can't even imagine how hard it's been.
Copy !req
677. But instead of...
Copy !req
678. just being there for you, I just...
Copy !req
679. Well, I got angry about it. I guess...
Copy !req
680. I got angry because
Copy !req
681. things were different.
Copy !req
682. Because...
Copy !req
683. I really missed you.
Copy !req
684. I missed my best friend.
Copy !req
685. Yeah, I missed my best friend too.
Copy !req
686. For the record, a Rubik's Cube
isn't even a good measure of intelligence.
Copy !req
687. And your beanstalk plan, seriously,
only a genius could've come up with that.
Copy !req
688. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
689. I learned from the best.
Copy !req
690. That's true.
Copy !req
691. Silver lining.
Copy !req
692. If it fails, we both go down.
Copy !req
693. You die, I die.
Copy !req
694. You die, I die.
Copy !req
695. Gate opening in five, four, three, two...
Copy !req
696. Open sesame.
Copy !req
697. Gotcha!
Copy !req
698. We've secured the gate signal.
Repeat. Gate signal is secure.
Copy !req
699. Tell Snookums his timing is mwah!
Copy !req
700. Because Santa's sleigh...
Copy !req
701. is almost ready.
Copy !req
702. Piece of shit!
Copy !req
703. Oh God! Oh God!
Copy !req
704. Why? Why?
Why do you gotta do this right now?
Copy !req
705. What? You don't like me? Huh?
Copy !req
706. It's not me! I'm not the one!
I'm not the one who...
Copy !req
707. Hi, sister.
Copy !req
708. Hi.
Copy !req
709. Have you ever done this before?
Copy !req
710. Shared your mind like this?
Copy !req
711. Have you?
Copy !req
712. With my other psychic friends
all the time.
Copy !req
713. I'm glad I'm here.
Copy !req
714. Me too.
Copy !req
715. Even after yesterday?
Copy !req
716. Have you thought about it?
Copy !req
717. What it all means?
Copy !req
718. I was thinking when we blow up the bridge,
we'll blow up Dr. Kay's lab.
Copy !req
719. We'll end her experiment.
Copy !req
720. Kay will simply make a new lab.
Copy !req
721. So we kill her.
Copy !req
722. She replaced Papa.
Another will replace her.
Copy !req
723. We can go away somewhere.
We can hide from them.
Copy !req
724. Oh, like somewhere
with at least one waterfall?
Copy !req
725. It's a fantasy, Jane.
Copy !req
726. If you flee with Mike,
maybe you're safe for a while.
Copy !req
727. But when they find you, and they will,
Copy !req
728. they will kill Mike,
just as they killed my friends.
Copy !req
729. Then they will take you,
and with your blood,
Copy !req
730. they will create more children,
children who will suffer as we have.
Copy !req
731. And with these children,
they will open up more gates, more worlds.
Copy !req
732. Don't you see, Jane?
Copy !req
733. It's a cycle.
Copy !req
734. A terrible, vicious cycle.
Copy !req
735. But we can stop it.
Copy !req
736. Tonight.
Copy !req
737. How?
Copy !req
738. After we kill our brother,
Copy !req
739. after the children are rescued,
Copy !req
740. we don't leave with the others.
Copy !req
741. We stay on the bridge.
Copy !req
742. When the Upside Down vanishes...
Copy !req
743. so will we.
Copy !req
744. It is the only way, Jane.
Copy !req
745. The only way.
Copy !req
746. You ladies done meditating?
Copy !req
747. 'Cause Santa's sleigh is ready to fly!
Copy !req
748. Mom?
Copy !req
749. Um...
Copy !req
750. Earlier today when you asked me
what happened in Vecna's mind,
Copy !req
751. I didn't tell you everything.
Copy !req
752. When Vecna attacks,
Copy !req
753. he weakens you
by turning your own mind against you,
Copy !req
754. by bringing out everything inside you
that hurts.
Copy !req
755. So I fought back
by focusing on happy memories,
Copy !req
756. memories from when I was a kid,
Copy !req
757. and when I wasn't scared,
Copy !req
758. and when I felt most happy.
Copy !req
759. That's how I took control in the MAC-Z
Copy !req
760. and how I killed those Demos.
Copy !req
761. And I thought the same would work
on Vecna too.
Copy !req
762. But he found a way past.
Copy !req
763. And he showed me things, Mom.
Copy !req
764. He showed me the most awful things.
Copy !req
765. No, listen.
Copy !req
766. Whatever he showed you, it's not real.
He plays tricks. He lies.
Copy !req
767. No, he doesn't.
Copy !req
768. What he showed me...
Copy !req
769. it didn't come from him.
Copy !req
770. It came from me.
Copy !req
771. He sees everything, Mom.
Copy !req
772. He sees my thoughts.
Copy !req
773. He sees my memories.
Copy !req
774. And he sees my secrets.
Copy !req
775. But Max, she told me he's also afraid,
which proves I can beat him.
Copy !req
776. But for me to do that,
Copy !req
777. you need to know...
Copy !req
778. I think you need to know the truth.
Copy !req
779. Oh. Uh...
Copy !req
780. Sorry. We just heard from Hop.
Copy !req
781. He's 15 minutes out.
So we should probably leave in five.
Copy !req
782. Is everything okay?
Copy !req
783. Yeah, we'll be out in a minute.
Copy !req
784. Wait.
Copy !req
785. I think you need to hear this too.
Copy !req
786. Everyone does.
Copy !req
787. I...
Copy !req
788. I... I haven't told any of you this
Copy !req
789. because...
Copy !req
790. Because I... I don't... I don't want you
to see me differently.
Copy !req
791. But the truth is...
Copy !req
792. The... The truth is I am.
Copy !req
793. I am different.
Copy !req
794. I just...
Copy !req
795. I just pretended like I wasn't
because... because I didn't want to be.
Copy !req
796. I wanted to be like everyone else.
I wanted to be like my friends and...
Copy !req
797. And I am like you.
Copy !req
798. I'm like you in... in almost every way.
Copy !req
799. We... We like playing
D&D late into the night.
Copy !req
800. And we like that old-person smell
in Mike's basement.
Copy !req
801. And we... we like biking to Melvald's
for malted milkshakes.
Copy !req
802. And we like getting lost in the woods,
Copy !req
803. and getting lost in Family Video
and arguing about what to rent
Copy !req
804. and settling on Holy Grail
for the millionth time.
Copy !req
805. And... And we like Milk Duds
in our popcorn with extra butter.
Copy !req
806. And we like drinking Coke with Pop Rocks.
Copy !req
807. And we like bike races and trading comics
Copy !req
808. and NASA and Steve Martin
and Lucky Charms and...
Copy !req
809. Literally all the same things.
Copy !req
810. I just... I just... I... I just...
Copy !req
811. I...
Copy !req
812. I...
Copy !req
813. I...
Copy !req
814. I don't like girls.
Copy !req
815. I mean...
Copy !req
816. I mean I do. Just...
Just not like you guys do.
Copy !req
817. And I, uh, I had this...
this crush on someone,
Copy !req
818. even though I know...
I know they're not like me.
Copy !req
819. But... But then I realized
he's just my Tammy.
Copy !req
820. And by Tammy,
I mean it was never about him.
Copy !req
821. It was... It was about me.
Copy !req
822. And I thought
I was finally okay with myself,
Copy !req
823. but... but then today...
Copy !req
824. Today Vecna showed me what would happen
if I did this,
Copy !req
825. if I told you guys the truth.
Copy !req
826. He showed me a future, and in this future,
Copy !req
827. some of you are just...
are just worried for me.
Copy !req
828. Worried that things will be harder for me.
Copy !req
829. And it just makes me feel like
something's wrong with me.
Copy !req
830. So I... So I push you away.
Copy !req
831. And for the rest of us,
we just drift apart more
Copy !req
832. and more and more
and more and more until I'm alone.
Copy !req
833. And I know none of that has happened,
and Vecna can't see into the future.
Copy !req
834. But he can see into our minds,
and he knows things.
Copy !req
835. And it just felt so real. It felt so real.
Copy !req
836. Will.
Copy !req
837. You gotta listen to me.
Copy !req
838. That will never ever happen.
Copy !req
839. You'll never lose me.
Copy !req
840. Ever.
Copy !req
841. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
842. And you'll never lose me.
Copy !req
843. Or me.
Copy !req
844. Or me.
Copy !req
845. Or me.
Copy !req
846. Or me.
Copy !req
847. Guess you didn't need truth serum, huh?
Copy !req
848. Sorry. This sucks,
but you're gonna have to hug me.
Copy !req
849. Oh, Max.
Copy !req
850. Just imagine
I'm hugging you really tight, okay?
Copy !req
851. Okay.
Copy !req
852. El.
Copy !req
853. I know you're strong enough
to defeat Vecna.
Copy !req
854. But he can retreat to the physical world,
Copy !req
855. and we need to be ready
to fight him there too.
Copy !req
856. We have bullets and fire,
but none of that helped those soldiers.
Copy !req
857. I need to be there.
Copy !req
858. And I'm ready.
Copy !req
859. I'm ready to show him
I'm not afraid anymore.
Copy !req
860. That's a confirmation.
Anderson's on that patrol.
Copy !req
861. Solid copy, Bravo One.
Maintain overwatch. Over.
Copy !req
862. Hey, McConnell.
Copy !req
863. We got a delivery tonight
I don't know about?
Copy !req
864. That's a negative, private.
Copy !req
865. The hell are you doing, buddy?
Copy !req
866. Showtime, Snookums!
Copy !req
867. Mellon.
Copy !req
868. Oh, shit!
Copy !req
869. Pardon me!
Copy !req
870. First gate cleared.
Copy !req
871. Two hostiles, towers,
ten and eleven o'clock.
Copy !req
872. Now comes the fun part.
Copy !req
873. - Come on! Come on!
- Come on! Come on!
Copy !req
874. Go! Go! Drive!
Copy !req
875. Whoo-hey!
Copy !req
876. Yeah!
Copy !req
877. Jesus Christ.
Copy !req
878. Everybody all right? Everybody okay?
Copy !req
879. - Yeah.
- You all right? Everybody all right?
Copy !req
880. Hey, nice shooting back there.
Copy !req
881. You too.
Copy !req
882. I kind of thought that
that was supposed to be the easy part.
Copy !req
883. It was.
Copy !req
884. You ready?
Copy !req
885. Ready.
Copy !req
886. It's time.
Copy !req
