1. Backpack, yeah. Keys, walkie-talkie.
Copy !req
2. Do I have everything?
Copy !req
3. Mike! We're outside! Over!
Copy !req
4. - Mike!
- Yes! Coming! Over and out!
Copy !req
5. - We're the kids in America
- Whoa-oh
Copy !req
6. Hey, what about breakfast?
Copy !req
7. No, thanks! No time! Bye!
Copy !req
8. Hey! Watch it!
Copy !req
9. - Nancy, straight home from school today.
- Okay.
Copy !req
10. Mike, aren't you forgetting something?
Copy !req
11. Um, love you?
Copy !req
12. Oh, right! Thanks, Mom!
Copy !req
13. - Here he comes.
- Finally!
Copy !req
14. Let's go! We're gonna be late!
Copy !req
15. Mike, relax. We're not gonna be late.
Copy !req
16. Yeah, we haven't been late once
in the last five weeks.
Copy !req
17. I know, but if we are…
Copy !req
18. Just come on!
Copy !req
19. Come on!
Copy !req
20. Almost there. Almost there.
Copy !req
21. Ugh! Move it, you bug blaster!
Copy !req
22. Dustin! Dustin, come in! Over!
Copy !req
23. Come on, Dustin! We know you're there!
Copy !req
24. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Not now! Not now!
Copy !req
25. Dustin!
Copy !req
26. You know you have terrible timing.
Copy !req
27. We're heading directly to Will's.
Meet us on Cornwallis. Over!
Copy !req
28. - Wait for me! I'm at the mart!
- Dustin!
Copy !req
29. Fine. Meet you there. Over and out.
Copy !req
30. Thanks, Dan. Gotta run!
Copy !req
31. Wait, wait, wait.
You're a dollar short again.
Copy !req
32. Sorry! I'll get you next time!
You know I'm good for it!
Copy !req
33. That's what you said
about the cheese balls, and Pudding Pops,
Copy !req
34. and whatever other abominations
you children put in your gullets.
Copy !req
35. There's a new wave coming, I warn you
Copy !req
36. - We're the kids in America
- Whoa-oh!
Copy !req
37. Found it!
Copy !req
38. Everybody live for the music-go-round
Copy !req
39. - Hey! Slow down, bud.
- Sorry.
Copy !req
40. Here's that mix you asked for.
Finished last night.
Copy !req
41. Maybe now you'll listen
to more than just The Clash.
Copy !req
42. Thanks. I gotta go. The guys are waiting.
Copy !req
43. Mom said call if you're gonna be—
Copy !req
44. Late!
Copy !req
45. Jeez! Kid, are you okay?
Copy !req
46. Yes, yes, yes! I let it get late!
Copy !req
47. You know
you don't actually go to school, right?
Copy !req
48. So, I know you know, but I…
Copy !req
49. I need you to remember
the ground rules, okay?
Copy !req
50. No attracting attention.
Be careful who you talk to.
Copy !req
51. And we keep the cabin secret.
Copy !req
52. The last thing we need are strangers
sticking their noses in around here.
Copy !req
53. I know the rules.
Copy !req
54. Yeah, I know, but we can't have
anyone finding out about your powers!
Copy !req
55. You see, that's what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
56. I did it inside. No one can see.
Copy !req
57. Look, kid, I'm just worried is all.
Copy !req
58. - We're a family now.
- I know!
Copy !req
59. Bottom line is
I'd like to keep it that way.
Copy !req
60. Me too.
Copy !req
61. Mike.
Copy !req
62. - Hey.
- Hey.
Copy !req
63. - Hey!
- Coat! I need a coat!
Copy !req
64. Anything happens to her,
Copy !req
65. anything…
Copy !req
66. These woods hide a lot of mistakes.
Copy !req
67. I… I got you something.
Copy !req
68. Why?
Copy !req
69. 'Cause cops like doughnuts?
Copy !req
70. Joke's on you, pal.
Everyone likes doughnuts.
Copy !req
71. - Ready!
- Be careful out there!
Copy !req
72. Yeah!
Copy !req
73. Aw, sh… irt.
Copy !req
74. Couldn't have waited five seconds.
Copy !req
75. Crud!
Copy !req
76. Whoa! Slow down there, Henderson.
Copy !req
77. Where you going in such a hurry?
Copy !req
78. School. I'm gonna be late.
Copy !req
79. Hey!
Copy !req
80. We just want to see what you have for us
in that book bag of yours.
Copy !req
81. Books, brainiac.
Wanna guess what's in my pencil case?
Copy !req
82. Hey! Get back here!
Copy !req
83. We're gonna get you, Henderson!
Copy !req
84. - Come here, dork!
- Let's get that scumbag!
Copy !req
85. - We're gonna get ya!
- Yeah! Let's get that nerd!
Copy !req
86. Give it up, geek!
Copy !req
87. What the…?
Copy !req
88. Ah!
Copy !req
89. I got snow in my crack!
Copy !req
90. So long, suckers!
Copy !req
91. Charlie! Where'd you go, man?
I lost the nerd!
Copy !req
92. Charlie!
Copy !req
93. Charlie?
Copy !req
94. What the…?
Copy !req
95. No, no, no, no!
Copy !req
96. Let's go!
Copy !req
97. Yeah! Let's go!
Copy !req
98. Yeah!
Copy !req
99. You guys, spring break
is gonna be awesome this year!
Copy !req
100. We'll finally get to show El
some of our other hangout spots!
Copy !req
101. - Like the arcade.
- Yeah, and the pizza place.
Copy !req
102. They've got deep dish now!
Copy !req
103. Deep dish? Will I like deep dish?
Copy !req
104. El, you're gonna love it!
It's like pizza on pizza!
Copy !req
105. And the grease gets all over your fingers,
and you lick it off, and it's so good!
Copy !req
106. "El, you're gonna love it!"
Copy !req
107. I think it's cute.
Copy !req
108. Cute? I've been having to wake up
30 minutes ahead of my alarm
Copy !req
109. just to do this!
Copy !req
110. All he talks about is El this,
El that! Ugh!
Copy !req
111. Okay, we get it.
Copy !req
112. You should be taking notes, Romeo.
Copy !req
113. What? What did I say?
Copy !req
114. If we play our cards right,
maybe Hopper will let you come with us
Copy !req
115. to the Starcourt mall
when it opens Memorial Day weekend!
Copy !req
116. - That would be the ultimate hangout spot!
- I heard it's gonna have a gaming store!
Copy !req
117. Big whoop.
Copy !req
118. What this town really needs
is a Sam Goody.
Copy !req
119. You can keep your music.
Copy !req
120. I'll take a Hot Dog on a Stick,
Ground Round—
Copy !req
121. You forgot Orange Julius, you jerks!
Copy !req
122. What the hell happened to you?
Copy !req
123. Dirtbag Charlie and Noogie Jeff happened.
That's what.
Copy !req
124. Thanks for waiting for me, guys.
Copy !req
125. Well, your mouth still works.
Any internal bleeding?
Copy !req
126. No. But I escaped Mirkwood
by the skin of my teeth.
Copy !req
127. Looks like you brought
some yellow snow with you too.
Copy !req
128. Har, har.
Copy !req
129. Real funny.
Copy !req
130. Snow in your pants!
Copy !req
131. Get out of the road!
Copy !req
132. Stupid kids.
Copy !req
133. What? What do you mean
you don't have your homework?
Copy !req
134. - Later, El!
- See ya!
Copy !req
135. - Bye, El!
- Bye!
Copy !req
136. - I wish I could go with you.
- One day, you will.
Copy !req
137. You'll pick me up after school? 3-1-5?
Copy !req
138. 3:15. Yes.
Copy !req
139. Right. See ya!
Copy !req
140. Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!
Copy !req
141. I can't wait to start D&D next week!
Copy !req
142. Me, too! And I figured out
what module I want to use.
Copy !req
143. Actually, I had an idea.
Copy !req
144. What—
Copy !req
145. I'm so sorry. It was an accident.
Copy !req
146. You little jerk!
Copy !req
147. Ho ho!
Copy !req
148. You gonna let him get away with that?
Copy !req
149. What's it gonna be, Zombie Boy?
Fat lip or black eye?
Copy !req
150. Hey, get off him! He said he was sorry.
Copy !req
151. Back off! I'm busy here.
Copy !req
152. Hi. You're in front of my locker. Oops.
Copy !req
153. Now you're in front of my locker.
Copy !req
154. Hey, what's your problem?
You some kind of freak?
Copy !req
155. Freak? Wow, that is so sweet of you
to notice.
Copy !req
156. You may also have noticed
that you've worn out your welcome, sport.
Copy !req
157. Whatever.
Copy !req
158. Don't let the locker hit you
on your way out.
Copy !req
159. I'll catch you geeks later! Come on.
Copy !req
160. - Why didn't you do anything about it?
- It's just a shirt.
Copy !req
161. Will, you okay?
Copy !req
162. Yeah, I'm fine.
Copy !req
163. Huh. Misfits. Nice.
Copy !req
164. Um, thanks.
Copy !req
165. Yeah, thanks for the help.
There's a lot of meatheads in this school.
Copy !req
166. Don't sweat it.
Same jerk, different letterman jacket.
Copy !req
167. My theory is
they clone them in every school.
Copy !req
168. I'm Mike. This is Will.
Copy !req
169. Sup? And, wait, what did he call you?
Zombie Boy.
Copy !req
170. Wow. That is a new one.
I'd stick with that if I were you.
Copy !req
171. Later.
Copy !req
172. You guys okay?
Copy !req
173. Yeah, thanks to that new kid.
Copy !req
174. Who's her hairdresser? Mr. T?
Copy !req
175. She's punk. I like it.
Copy !req
176. - Maybe you should try it, Lucas.
- Oh, shut up.
Copy !req
177. Okay, people. Settle.
Copy !req
178. Welcome back. New semester,
new news to share with you all.
Copy !req
179. I will be going on a sabbatical
for the semester.
Copy !req
180. He's gonna become a priest?
Copy !req
181. What? No. It means
he's going on, like, a work vacation.
Copy !req
182. Oh, why didn't he just say so?
Copy !req
183. Ah!
Copy !req
184. But I'm happy to report Hawkins Middle's
newest teacher, Mrs. Baxter,
Copy !req
185. will be your scientific sage
while I'm away.
Copy !req
186. Aw, man. What's gonna happen to AV Club?
Copy !req
187. AV Club doesn't take a vacation,
Mr. Clarke.
Copy !req
188. Sorry, boys. AV Club must endure
without me for a few months.
Copy !req
189. I've already briefed Mrs. Baxter,
and I have complete confidence
Copy !req
190. in her ability
to mold your malleable minds.
Copy !req
191. I leave them in your hands.
Copy !req
192. Thank you, Mr. Clarke.
Copy !req
193. All righty, then.
Copy !req
194. Now, are you guys ready
to learn about evolution?
Copy !req
195. Evolution is the process
Copy !req
196. by which an organism adapts
into an enhanced version of itself.
Copy !req
197. Now, this process occurs
over a vast stretch of time.
Copy !req
198. But sometimes, it can leap forward.
Copy !req
199. Well, how about you talk amongst
yourselves while I find the roster?
Copy !req
200. You could say
I'm a little out of my element.
Copy !req
201. Oh my…
Copy !req
202. No? Okay.
Copy !req
203. Okay. The big snowstorm
is coming next week.
Copy !req
204. We'll be on lockdown for a couple of days.
That's when we'll start the campaign.
Copy !req
205. But first, we're gonna need extra cash
since Eleven and Max are gonna play.
Copy !req
206. Huh?
Copy !req
207. Slow your roll, Lucas.
Copy !req
208. I'm only gracing you with my presence
just this once.
Copy !req
209. Mike's right. We need money for more maps,
extra dice, and a new graph pad, and…
Copy !req
210. Not to mention snacks and drinks, guys.
Come on.
Copy !req
211. All right. So what are we looking at here?
Copy !req
212. This is just sad.
Copy !req
213. We're still gonna be short.
Copy !req
214. Where are we supposed to get more cash?
Copy !req
215. I still have some of my arcade stash
at home.
Copy !req
216. I got ten bucks from Nana for Christmas.
Copy !req
217. My piggy bank is low,
Copy !req
218. but I haven't checked
my couch cushions yet.
Copy !req
219. Hey, guys. I got an idea.
But we're gonna need El.
Copy !req
220. Are you sure this is gonna work?
Copy !req
221. Are you kidding me?
This is one of my best ideas yet.
Copy !req
222. Rich People Avenue,
where driveways are paved with white gold.
Copy !req
223. With your help, El,
Copy !req
224. we could probably clear
about a house a minute.
Copy !req
225. I still don't know
if it's such a good idea.
Copy !req
226. - You sure you're okay with this, El?
- Friends help friends.
Copy !req
227. Time to work my magic.
Copy !req
228. Hello, young lady. Is your mother home?
Copy !req
229. Well, aren't you just adorable?
Copy !req
230. I see that your driveway needs
some snow removal.
Copy !req
231. Well, I could use someone to clear it
while I watch my stories.
Copy !req
232. For the low price of only five dollars,
Copy !req
233. this adorable face will plow
your entire driveway.
Copy !req
234. And throw in the porch for free.
Copy !req
235. Well, I usually wait for Mr. Plow,
but I just can't resist those dimples.
Copy !req
236. Wonderful. You go in
and watch your stories,
Copy !req
237. and my dimples and I will take care
of everything. Okay?
Copy !req
238. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
239. All clear!
Copy !req
240. Anything happens to her,
Copy !req
241. anything…
Copy !req
242. These woods hide a lot of mistakes.
Copy !req
243. Wait! Wait, wait, wait.
I don't think we should do this.
Copy !req
244. It'll be fine. We're keeping a lookout.
No one will see.
Copy !req
245. No, no, no. You don't understand.
Hopper will kill me,
Copy !req
246. literally kill me,
if something happens to El.
Copy !req
247. Mike, it will be okay.
Copy !req
248. You just got some freedom.
If something goes wrong,
Copy !req
249. no spring break hangouts,
no more having fun, no more anything.
Copy !req
250. Party pooper!
Copy !req
251. You're dead, Henderson.
Copy !req
252. Snowball fight!
Copy !req
253. - Whoa!
- Take this!
Copy !req
254. Coming at you!
Copy !req
255. Get him, El!
Copy !req
256. There you go!
Copy !req
257. Oh man, it's old man Plow.
He's gonna ruin everything.
Copy !req
258. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
259. What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
260. Now, I got work I gotta do around here,
so you kids better get.
Copy !req
261. Man, we were here first.
Copy !req
262. First?
Copy !req
263. This ain't no game.
Copy !req
264. But we have a right to be here, too.
Copy !req
265. Rights? You snot-nosed rats
ain't got no rights.
Copy !req
266. Now, you listen, and you listen good.
Copy !req
267. This here is your last warning.
Before I take this shovel and I shove—
Copy !req
268. Mister!
Copy !req
269. Help me!
Copy !req
270. Ah!
Copy !req
271. Help me!
Copy !req
272. - Help!
- Whoa!
Copy !req
273. Run!
Copy !req
274. Look out, Lucas!
Copy !req
275. Help me!
Copy !req
276. What was that?
Copy !req
277. Is it gone?
Copy !req
278. Not gone!
Copy !req
279. Ah!
Copy !req
280. - I'm slipping!
- Hold on!
Copy !req
281. Be right back!
Copy !req
282. Wait, what? Where are you—
Copy !req
283. Whoa!
Copy !req
284. It's back!
Copy !req
285. Oh, crud.
Copy !req
286. - Dustin!
- Dustin!
Copy !req
287. Guys!
Copy !req
288. Dustin, catch this!
Copy !req
289. Ouch! Not helping!
Copy !req
290. Guys!
Copy !req
291. Gross!
Copy !req
292. Help me!
Copy !req
293. Dustin!
Copy !req
294. Dustin, are you okay?
Copy !req
295. No! What the heck was that thing?
Copy !req
296. It moved like some kind of shark.
Copy !req
297. Snow sharks don't exist!
Copy !req
298. Guys, you know exactly what that was.
Copy !req
299. No, it can't be! El closed the gate
to the Upside Down, right?
Copy !req
300. We need to call Hopper.
Copy !req
301. We don't have time to go to Hopper.
Copy !req
302. We have to get that thing
before it eats someone else.
Copy !req
303. Mike's right. If we don't stop it,
the government could come back.
Copy !req
304. Maybe blame El and take her away.
Copy !req
305. It's settled. We catch it ourselves.
Copy !req
306. Not settled. No one is asking El
what she thinks we should do.
Copy !req
307. El?
Copy !req
308. Catch it.
Copy !req
309. Stop it.
Copy !req
310. Just us.
Copy !req
311. No going back.
Copy !req
312. I hope this works, Mike.
Copy !req
313. Don't worry. This plan's gonna work.
Copy !req
314. Then we'll get back to doing
all the fun things we talked about. Okay?
Copy !req
315. Promise?
Copy !req
316. Promise.
Copy !req
317. Okay, guys. Confirm location.
Copy !req
318. El and Mike. Arcade rooftop.
Lookout duty. Over.
Copy !req
319. Lucas and Max. West side bushes.
Capture duty. Over.
Copy !req
320. Will. East side arcade corner.
Attack duty. Over.
Copy !req
321. Dustin. Parking lot. Bait.
Pretty cheesed about it. Over.
Copy !req
322. Dustin, will you please stay
in the kill zone? You keep moving around.
Copy !req
323. I'm nervous, okay?
Copy !req
324. And can we please come up
with a better name than kill zone?
Copy !req
325. Dustin, just stay where you are.
Lucas, stop calling it kill zone.
Copy !req
326. Mike, I feel so stupid.
I look like a meat-covered wind chime.
Copy !req
327. How do we even know
this thing likes Slim Jims?
Copy !req
328. We can't take a chance.
Copy !req
329. We need to sweeten the pot
to get it out in the open.
Copy !req
330. Besides, the Slim Jims were Lucas's idea.
Over.
Copy !req
331. Hey, you want to catch this thing or not?
Copy !req
332. And who doesn't like Slim Jims?
Copy !req
333. Plus, it's better than Will's idea
of covering you in fish.
Copy !req
334. But sharks like fish.
Copy !req
335. I don't think we're hidden enough.
These bushes are kind of measly.
Copy !req
336. You sure that net
isn't gonna be too heavy for you?
Copy !req
337. Dude, my arms are literally stronger
than yours.
Copy !req
338. Oh no, the new kid.
Copy !req
339. Guys, code red! It's the creature.
It's not taking our bait.
Copy !req
340. It's out to get the new kid. Go!
Copy !req
341. Get out of the snow! Run!
Copy !req
342. - Run, new kid!
- Run!
Copy !req
343. - Run!
- Get out of the snow!
Copy !req
344. - Run!
- What?
Copy !req
345. Get out of the snow!
Copy !req
346. - Get out of the snow!
- Get out of the snow!
Copy !req
347. What the heck?
Copy !req
348. - Run!
- Get out of the snow!
Copy !req
349. What is going on?
Copy !req
