1. Hey, what is going on here?
Copy !req
2. TV?
Copy !req
3. Yes, I can see that.
Copy !req
4. But why is everyone here
on our movie night?
Copy !req
5. - Sorry we're late.
- Hey, Chief.
Copy !req
6. Great. There's more of you.
Copy !req
7. You guys are right on time.
The theme song just started.
Copy !req
8. What's with the theatrics?
Copy !req
9. Hopper can't find Nikki.
Copy !req
10. Nikki's here?
Copy !req
11. Hey, Hopper. Did you bring me dinner?
Copy !req
12. I brought me dinner.
Copy !req
13. And don't you have school tomorrow?
Copy !req
14. Hey, what was that?
Copy !req
15. I… I didn't hear anything.
Copy !req
16. Who else is here?
Copy !req
17. Whoa, you might… might wanna open
a window. You know what I'm saying?
Copy !req
18. Harrington?
Copy !req
19. - Sorry.
- What are you doing here?
Copy !req
20. I was just, uh, dropping…
Copy !req
21. …the kids off at the pool. Get it?
Copy !req
22. They wanted to watch
their favorite show with El, Night Guy.
Copy !req
23. Knight Rider.
Copy !req
24. - Knight Rider. Knight Rider. I knew that.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
25. Right.
Copy !req
26. - Don't you have friends your own age?
- He doesn't.
Copy !req
27. Huh?
Copy !req
28. Good, solid… craftsmanship.
Copy !req
29. What? No "bless you"?
Copy !req
30. Way past my bedtime. Time to go.
Copy !req
31. Great idea.
Copy !req
32. All kids but El get out of my house.
Copy !req
33. Everyone out now.
Copy !req
34. I will walk them out.
Copy !req
35. And remember,
Sundays are for snacks and Snake Plissken.
Copy !req
36. You guys can have your TV time tomorrow.
Copy !req
37. So, Dustin, what happened?
Copy !req
38. We trapped it in the furnace. Then boom!
Copy !req
39. Blaaah!
Copy !req
40. Incinerated.
Copy !req
41. And those spore things?
Copy !req
42. All of it incinerated.
Copy !req
43. It's finally over.
Copy !req
44. It would've been really over
if Hopper had seen Nikki.
Copy !req
45. What were you thinking?
She shouldn't be here with us.
Copy !req
46. She almost ruined everything.
Copy !req
47. Yeah, that was pretty close.
Copy !req
48. She's not the one who went running
to Hopper to spill the beans.
Copy !req
49. Hey, cool it.
Copy !req
50. My babysitting shift is over.
Copy !req
51. I've lost my date, my car,
and nearly my life.
Copy !req
52. Henderson.
Copy !req
53. Don't do anything you wouldn't do.
Copy !req
54. Yes, or anything you would do.
Copy !req
55. Just go home, okay?
Copy !req
56. Hey, Nikki. Crisis averted.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Copy !req
57. She probably got cold and took off.
Copy !req
58. Listen up, guys.
We got to talk about Dustin's Polaroid.
Copy !req
59. Wait. You mean the one
Lucas ripped out of my hand?
Copy !req
60. Um, yeah. About that…
Copy !req
61. Here.
Copy !req
62. That's what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
63. Now, don't tell anyone
where you got that, okay?
Copy !req
64. So we good?
Copy !req
65. We are really good.
Copy !req
66. Can't believe you lost the photo.
Copy !req
67. I didn't do it on purpose.
Copy !req
68. You guys need to stop arguing about this.
We'll figure it out later–
Copy !req
69. - Hey!
- Hey, man, watch where you're—
Copy !req
70. Man, what's up with Charlie?
He looks like he's about to puke.
Copy !req
71. I'm just gonna say it.
Copy !req
72. Charlie ate Jeff Nelson.
Copy !req
73. What the…? That's so gross.
Copy !req
74. Jeff is still AWOL.
Copy !req
75. We're all thinking it.
I'm just saying it out loud.
Copy !req
76. Come on, Dustin.
Jeff skips school, like, all the time.
Copy !req
77. Speaking of school,
I didn't see Nikki after class.
Copy !req
78. - Where is she?
- Should we go find her?
Copy !req
79. Bigger fish, my friend.
Copy !req
80. I've called all you here today
Copy !req
81. because while I was off
kicking interdimensional butt,
Copy !req
82. Lucas lost the photo of El
and a Mulligan creature…
Copy !req
83. Here we go.
Copy !req
84. …and it landed in the hands of Keith.
Copy !req
85. It was an accident.
Copy !req
86. An accident is
spilling a Coke on your English homework.
Copy !req
87. This was gross criminal negligence.
Copy !req
88. The only thing gross here is your breath.
Copy !req
89. Guys! Enough!
Right now, we need to figure out a way
Copy !req
90. to get that picture back
before someone sees it's real.
Copy !req
91. If Keith shows it to the wrong person,
and they recognize El's tattoo,
Copy !req
92. she'll be in real trouble,
government trouble.
Copy !req
93. That's why I have a plan
on how to recover the photo.
Copy !req
94. Here's an actual plan
on how best to recover the photo.
Copy !req
95. That's not a plan.
That's a bunch of doodles on a napkin.
Copy !req
96. - Better than showing up with nothing.
- See you tomorrow.
Copy !req
97. - You're so annoying.
- I know you are, but what am I?
Copy !req
98. Hey, while you two are bellyaching,
Keith's leaving.
Copy !req
99. After him!
Copy !req
100. Out of my way.
Copy !req
101. It's my picture.
Copy !req
102. Yeah, and I'm getting it back.
Copy !req
103. What the…?
Copy !req
104. Keith, get back here.
Copy !req
105. Forget it, Dig Dug girl.
Copy !req
106. You and your boyfriend's cash offer
for the photo has expired.
Copy !req
107. Better luck next time, losers.
Copy !req
108. Get back here, Keith!
Copy !req
109. Ah!
Copy !req
110. I'm alive.
Copy !req
111. See if you can handle 10th gear.
Copy !req
112. Whoa!
Copy !req
113. Oh crap!
Copy !req
114. Ate it!
Copy !req
115. Dang it.
Copy !req
116. Huh?
Copy !req
117. Hey!
Copy !req
118. Mike, I think I can stop him.
Copy !req
119. Do it.
Copy !req
120. What?
Copy !req
121. I'm getting it back.
Copy !req
122. - You're gonna mess things up.
- Lucas! Dustin!
Copy !req
123. - Guys!
- Watch it!
Copy !req
124. Hey! Watch out!
Copy !req
125. My appendix.
Copy !req
126. Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
127. Give it up, Sinclair. It's game over.
Copy !req
128. Come on, man. We just want our photo back.
Copy !req
129. That photo was mine, fair and square.
Copy !req
130. I— Wait. What do you mean "was"?
Copy !req
131. I mean The Weekly Watcher
coughed up big bucks for that photo.
Copy !req
132. Those tabloid suckers
will believe anything.
Copy !req
133. So long, nerds!
Copy !req
134. What?
Copy !req
135. This is bad.
Copy !req
136. The Weekly Watcher is
Hawkins's number one trash magazine.
Copy !req
137. Everyone and their mother reads these
at the checkout line.
Copy !req
138. The pictures are wild. Fake, but wild.
Snake Boy is my favorite.
Copy !req
139. 95% of my leads come
from The Weekly Watcher.
Copy !req
140. That explains a lot.
Copy !req
141. How are we supposed
to get the picture back from this place?
Copy !req
142. Everything has a weak point.
We just need to figure out where.
Copy !req
143. That photo of El and those creatures
can't get out, or it's game over.
Copy !req
144. Sounds like a recon mission to me.
Copy !req
145. And I approve of this mission.
Copy !req
146. - Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
Copy !req
147. It's settled.
Copy !req
148. We'll split up, gather some intel,
and meet back at my place.
Copy !req
149. We are getting that picture back.
Copy !req
150. I'm here. I'm here.
Grabbed these on the way.
Copy !req
151. Nice. I love Cheetos.
Copy !req
152. Really, Dustin?
You took the time to stop for snacks?
Copy !req
153. Hey, my blood sugar gets low
when I'm on assignment.
Copy !req
154. Well, now that we've made sure
Dustin doesn't pass out,
Copy !req
155. what did we learn, guys?
Copy !req
156. That it's gonna be tricky,
Copy !req
157. but I managed to see where
all eyes are planted in the building.
Copy !req
158. There are cameras all over the facility
Copy !req
159. and a security guard
watching the monitors 24/7.
Copy !req
160. Hm.
Copy !req
161. Okay, security's an issue.
Max, entry and exit points?
Copy !req
162. Who says you can't ride a skateboard
in the winter?
Copy !req
163. I spotted three main weak points.
Copy !req
164. One is the main entrance.
Copy !req
165. Two is the fire escape door
at the side of the building.
Copy !req
166. Third is the rooftop access door,
Copy !req
167. technically connected
to the fire escape exit door at the side.
Copy !req
168. So, let's make it two and a half.
Copy !req
169. Will?
Copy !req
170. Okay, best view of the action
is this billboard.
Copy !req
171. It's, uh, pretty high.
Copy !req
172. I was able to get a clear view
into the offices using Lucas's binoculars.
Copy !req
173. The Weekly Watcher occupies
one whole floor
Copy !req
174. on the second story of the building.
Copy !req
175. I saw some boss man open a Trapper Keeper
and pull out a Polaroid.
Copy !req
176. Like a school Trapper Keeper?
Copy !req
177. Yep. He put the folder
in his top-right desk drawer.
Copy !req
178. It had a Palace Arcade sticker
and everything.
Copy !req
179. Keith!
Copy !req
180. So that's our target!
Copy !req
181. Wait, where the heck is Lucas?
He was on intel—
Copy !req
182. And intel you will get.
Copy !req
183. What? Every good private eye knows
Copy !req
184. you learn the most about people
by going through their garbage.
Copy !req
185. And this is from The Weekly Watcher.
Copy !req
186. - Really, Lucas?
- What did you find?
Copy !req
187. Garbage.
Copy !req
188. And this key card.
Copy !req
189. Great, except it's broken, doofus.
Copy !req
190. It still works. I mean, probably.
Copy !req
191. Lucas, Dustin, please.
Copy !req
192. El and I will keep an eye on everything
from across the street.
Copy !req
193. We're gonna need a believable distraction
to get past the security guard.
Copy !req
194. Max is right.
Without that, everything else is a no-go.
Copy !req
195. Guys, I know this looks hard,
but that's why we have to work together.
Copy !req
196. Dustin, part of this mess is my fault.
I should have never quit the H.I.C.
Copy !req
197. We can get mad at each other,
but we never let it break up the party.
Copy !req
198. Not ever.
Copy !req
199. We may have lost the photo
of El using her powers,
Copy !req
200. but if we stick together,
Copy !req
201. we can get it back
before it becomes front-page news.
Copy !req
202. You lost a photo of El using her powers?
Copy !req
203. No! He said he lost a photo
of El losing her flowers.
Copy !req
204. I mean…
Copy !req
205. Mike?
Copy !req
206. Okay!
Copy !req
207. Here's the truth.
Copy !req
208. Keith sold a picture of El,
taken months ago—
Copy !req
209. - And that makes it better?
- No.
Copy !req
210. But we're trying to make it right.
Copy !req
211. We could really use some help.
Copy !req
212. I could use help.
Copy !req
213. Okay, then. How do we fix this mess?
Copy !req
214. By you giving the greatest performance
of your life.
Copy !req
215. You!
Copy !req
216. I need to speak to someone immediately.
Copy !req
217. My boyfriend is an alien.
Copy !req
218. Uh, excuse me, do you have an appointment?
Copy !req
219. People need to know the truth!
Copy !req
220. Take me to your leader!
Copy !req
221. - My leader?
- Or… editor!
Copy !req
222. Uh…
Copy !req
223. - She is really good.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
224. Operation Trap That Keeper is a go.
Copy !req
225. The orange stuff it leaves on your fingers
is the best part.
Copy !req
226. I saw his bulbous head and huge eyes!
I was led to this big mountain!
Copy !req
227. There were blinding lights in the sky
and weird electric keyboard music!
Copy !req
228. He was trying to communicate!
Copy !req
229. Jeez. Ma'am, this kind of sounds like
the plot to—
Copy !req
230. - He wants to take me to prom in his UFO!
- Ma'am…
Copy !req
231. - Then make me his space queen!
- I'm gonna need you to step down.
Copy !req
232. What would people say? What would I wear?
Copy !req
233. - You're looking at me like I'm crazy.
- No.
Copy !req
234. - Do you think I'm crazy?
- Get down from there.
Copy !req
235. I can tell when people lie
by looking into their eyes.
Copy !req
236. I do not think you are crazy.
Copy !req
237. - Look at me! In the eyes!
- Okay.
Copy !req
238. Come on!
Copy !req
239. - Please let go of my head!
- Just keep looking!
Copy !req
240. Let go of my head!
Copy !req
241. We're in!
Copy !req
242. Yes!
Copy !req
243. Take cover!
Copy !req
244. Dustin, coast is clear. You're up.
Copy !req
245. Ma'am, please,
if you could just settle down,
Copy !req
246. we'll get this all sorted out, okay?
Copy !req
247. Settle down?
Copy !req
248. Cameras are blind.
Copy !req
249. - Okay, Nancy, time for a curtain call.
- Copy.
Copy !req
250. Let me just get you some water, okay?
Here we go.
Copy !req
251. No! We mustn't drink the water!
Copy !req
252. They use it to make us slaves!
Copy !req
253. - They are space hooligans!
- Okay.
Copy !req
254. They're everywhere! Run!
Copy !req
255. Well, that was embarrassing.
Copy !req
256. Activate phase three.
Get the editor out of his office.
Copy !req
257. Cue Eleven!
Copy !req
258. Confirmed. Hold for window.
Copy !req
259. Today's proofs, Cosmo.
Copy !req
260. Oh. "Snake Boy returns to Hawkins."
Copy !req
261. I… I wrote the Snake Boy story.
Copy !req
262. And we have done it to death!
Copy !req
263. Ghosts, Bigfoot, serpents in the sewer!
Copy !req
264. Our readers may be gullible idiots,
Copy !req
265. but they ain't gonna
fork over the big bucks
Copy !req
266. for the same old headlines.
Copy !req
267. Now, I just bought a photo
that's leagues above all this bunk.
Copy !req
268. I mean, even I can't tell
if it's real or not.
Copy !req
269. Now, let's prep the cover
and blow some minds!
Copy !req
270. Come on! Chop, chop!
Copy !req
271. Cosmo, baby,
you are about to go nationwide.
Copy !req
272. What the heck?
Copy !req
273. Is this some kind of joke?
Copy !req
274. - Hey, Cosmo, before you leave…
- Yeah, yeah, give me a minute.
Copy !req
275. Mm.
Copy !req
276. All right, what'd I miss?
Copy !req
277. The orange is the best part. Look!
Copy !req
278. Editor's office is clear.
Copy !req
279. Max, Lucas, you're up.
Copy !req
280. Copy.
Copy !req
281. Dustin, we gotta go dark.
Copy !req
282. Any luck finding the main power cable?
Copy !req
283. Nada. Still looking.
Copy !req
284. "Sewer serpent"?
Man, this magazine is ridiculous.
Copy !req
285. Ugh, it's locked.
Copy !req
286. I got it.
Copy !req
287. Oh no.
Copy !req
288. The photo's not here.
Copy !req
289. Nobody panic.
Copy !req
290. At the school paper,
if the editor already approved the photo,
Copy !req
291. it goes to one of two places,
in layout or with the typesetter.
Copy !req
292. I'm in a cubicle
that says "typeset department,"
Copy !req
293. but I don't see the photo anywhere. Over.
Copy !req
294. Then it's gotta be with the layout.
Copy !req
295. Can anybody see a cubicle
with a drafting table in it?
Copy !req
296. We found layout.
And I can see the Trapper Keeper folder.
Copy !req
297. This is it, guys.
Dustin, any luck on the power?
Copy !req
298. Found it.
Copy !req
299. But it's gonna be tough.
Copy !req
300. The power line is as thick as Lucas' head.
Copy !req
301. It's thick because it's full
of brains that you don't have.
Copy !req
302. Okay, just like we planned.
Copy !req
303. Max, we need that stairwell exit door
propped open.
Copy !req
304. As soon as Lucas grabs the folder,
Dustin, hit the lights,
Copy !req
305. and we all get into that exit.
Copy !req
306. Nancy, Will, El, we'll meet you
at the side fire escape exit in five.
Copy !req
307. Copy.
Copy !req
308. Yes!
Copy !req
309. He's got it.
Copy !req
310. - All right!
- Yeah!
Copy !req
311. Hey, Ralph, did you see this thing
roll all the way over here by itself?
Copy !req
312. Yeah. Wouldn't be
the strangest thing I've seen in Hawkins.
Copy !req
313. Huh?
Copy !req
314. What in the…
Copy !req
315. Let's go.
Copy !req
316. Oh no! The editor's back!
Copy !req
317. Dustin, go dark! Now!
Copy !req
318. Ow!
Copy !req
319. Ow again!
Copy !req
320. Oh no!
Copy !req
321. No, no, no, no, no, no! Shoot!
Copy !req
322. Hey, you!
Copy !req
323. Hey, kid, what are you doing
with my photo?
Copy !req
324. Um, well, I can explain.
Copy !req
325. You're in big trouble, kid.
Copy !req
326. El, it's Lucas!
Copy !req
327. What?
Copy !req
328. Get back here!
Copy !req
329. You go that way!
Copy !req
330. Stop right there!
Copy !req
331. Sir, he's over here!
Copy !req
332. We're compromised! Save yourselves!
Copy !req
333. It's over, kid.
Copy !req
334. Now hand me back that folder,
and I won't call the cops.
Copy !req
335. Easy, kid. Easy.
Copy !req
336. Mike, look!
Copy !req
337. What's this crazy wind?
Copy !req
338. It must be the storm!
Copy !req
339. Hey!
Copy !req
340. No!
Copy !req
341. Hey, thanks for the assist.
Copy !req
342. Of course.
Copy !req
343. Just because I was mad doesn't mean
I don't always have your back.
Copy !req
344. Sorry I called your club stupid.
It's actually pretty awesome.
Copy !req
345. It's our club,
and your membership is still valid.
Copy !req
346. Come on, let's get out of here.
Copy !req
347. Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Copy !req
348. You lost the Trapper Keeper?
Copy !req
349. Lucas really tried, Mike.
Copy !req
350. Yeah, and besides,
who needs the Trapper Keeper
Copy !req
351. when you got the photo?
Copy !req
352. Yes! Yes!
Copy !req
353. - Yes!
- We did it!
Copy !req
354. Here. This belongs with you, man.
Copy !req
355. Thanks.
Copy !req
356. And I know just what to do with it.
Copy !req
357. Good riddance.
Copy !req
358. By the way, you guys are all
banned from taking pictures ever again.
Copy !req
