24. a web cam boy.Copy !req
25. My parents, they knowCopy !req
26. about the affairCopy !req
27. with Sheriff Keller.Copy !req
28. - I have decided...Copy !req
29. - Mayor McCoy's resigning.Copy !req
30. Hiram Lodge.Copy !req
31. He just boughtCopy !req
32. Sunnyside Trailer ParkCopy !req
33. and he said we can all stay.Copy !req
34. He's gobbling upCopy !req
35. the SouthsideCopy !req
36. piece by piece.Copy !req
37. I was running out of time.Copy !req
38. And maybe, so was Riverdale.Copy !req
39. Hiram Lodge had beenCopy !req
40. making moves.Copy !req
41. Big moves. But withCopy !req
42. no proof of criminal behavior,Copy !req
43. all I could do was speculate.Copy !req
44. What was Hiram's master planCopy !req
45. for Riverdale?Copy !req
46. And why did it feelCopy !req
47. so close to fruition?Copy !req
48. What's all this?Copy !req
49. Hopefully, this isCopy !req
50. the article that savesCopy !req
51. the town from Hiram Lodge.Copy !req
52. - Jughead...Copy !req
53. - If I can fitCopy !req
54. the pieces together.Copy !req
55. Boy, you need to drop this.Copy !req
56. He rescued us.Copy !req
57. He bought the trailer park,Copy !req
58. forgave our debts.Copy !req
59. What? He's the reasonCopy !req
60. we almost lostCopy !req
61. the trailer park.Copy !req
62. Hiram's slicker thanCopy !req
63. a bottle of snake oil,Copy !req
64. no doubt, but this is—Copy !req
65. Dad, please!Copy !req
66. Hiram Lodge just boughtCopy !req
67. The Riverdale Register.Copy !req
68. He's trying to silenceCopy !req
69. dissenting voices beforeCopy !req
70. he makes his big play.Copy !req
71. He's afraid. He's afraidCopy !req
72. of this exposure.Copy !req
73. If you remember correctly,Copy !req
74. the only house in RiverdaleCopy !req
75. with a pool was Thornhill—Copy !req
76. There we were,Copy !req
77. two drunk, dumb teenagersCopy !req
78. looking to cool off—Copy !req
79. Why didn't you just goCopy !req
80. to the quarry?Copy !req
81. Or Sweetwater River?Copy !req
82. Oh, what I remember isCopy !req
83. someone borrowing the schoolCopy !req
84. van for a joy ride,Copy !req
85. you and Mary...Copy !req
86. No, that was Alice,Copy !req
87. not us.Copy !req
88. Oh, my God, this soundsCopy !req
89. like an episode ofCopy !req
90. Saved by the Bell.Copy !req
91. Hey, Fred, before you head off,Copy !req
92. why don't you join HermioneCopy !req
93. and me in the study?Copy !req
94. - I have this 30-year-old rum.Copy !req
95. I think you'll love it.Copy !req
96. - Well, I can't say no to that.Copy !req
97. - Veronica, stay with Archie?Copy !req
98. Betty, I can't keepCopy !req
99. doing this anymore.Copy !req
100. He's your brotherCopy !req
101. and it is weird.Copy !req
102. Kevin, every time I tryCopy !req
103. asking Chic questionsCopy !req
104. about himself,Copy !req
105. he gets defensiveCopy !req
106. or literally startsCopy !req
107. to cry as a diversion.Copy !req
108. - But catfishing him?Copy !req
109. - If it's the only wayCopy !req
110. to get Chic to open up.Copy !req
111. I...Copy !req
112. So, do you ever P and P?Copy !req
113. You know, Party and Play?Copy !req
114. You keep asking me thatCopy !req
115. and I keep telling you no.Copy !req
116. You know...Copy !req
117. This is our third time cam-ingCopy !req
118. and you haven't reallyCopy !req
119. told me anythingCopy !req
120. about yourself.Copy !req
121. Yeah, well, you haven't takenCopy !req
122. your shirt off yet.Copy !req
123. So we're even.Copy !req
124. I'm shy.Copy !req
125. Okay. What do you wanna know?Copy !req
126. What are theyCopy !req
127. talking about in there,Copy !req
128. do you reckon?Copy !req
129. So, between us,Copy !req
130. the deputy mayorCopy !req
131. who took over for Josie's momCopy !req
132. is on the vergeCopy !req
133. of stepping down.Copy !req
134. There's gonna beCopy !req
135. a special electionCopy !req
136. and my parents think your dadCopy !req
137. would make an ideal candidate.Copy !req
138. They want my dadCopy !req
139. to run for mayor?Copy !req
140. It's businessCopy !req
141. and politics, Archie.Copy !req
142. They go hand in hand.Copy !req
143. Dad, is this somethingCopy !req
144. you're seriously considering?Copy !req
145. Being mayor is somethingCopy !req
146. I dreamed aboutCopy !req
147. ever since I wasCopy !req
148. a little kid, son,Copy !req
149. in the back of my mind.Copy !req
150. And I know Riverdale'sCopy !req
151. had a lot of downs latelyCopy !req
152. but maybe, I canCopy !req
153. help get it back upCopy !req
154. on an upswing.Copy !req
155. And you don't thinkCopy !req
156. it's weird that Mr. LodgeCopy !req
157. is asking you to run?Copy !req
158. He's not dumb, son.Copy !req
159. He spends a lot of moneyCopy !req
160. in Riverdale.Copy !req
161. It makes senseCopy !req
162. he wants a friendCopy !req
163. in the mayor's office.Copy !req
164. Will he pay forCopy !req
165. your campaign?Copy !req
166. He offered to makeCopy !req
167. a donation to help meCopy !req
168. get going, but...Copy !req
169. But to be clear, Archie,Copy !req
170. if I decide to run,Copy !req
171. it won't be for him,Copy !req
172. it'll be for Riverdale.Copy !req
173. For me.Copy !req
174. For you.Copy !req
175. - I understand.Copy !req
176. Mother. Strange manCopy !req
177. I've never met.Copy !req
178. Cheryl, this is Mr. Lazenby,Copy !req
179. our estate attorney.Copy !req
180. Your father, as it turns out,Copy !req
181. left a secret will.Copy !req
182. Of course he did.Copy !req
183. But Daddy diedCopy !req
184. months ago.Copy !req
185. And Mr. Blossom'sCopy !req
186. instructions were to revealCopy !req
187. the existence of his willCopy !req
188. only after the authoritiesCopy !req
189. had concludedCopy !req
190. their investigationCopy !req
191. into his side business.Copy !req
192. You mean drug dealing?Copy !req
193. Does this mean we're gonnaCopy !req
194. be rich again?Copy !req
195. Oh, Cheryl,Copy !req
196. don't be so gauche.Copy !req
197. Per Clifford's instructions,Copy !req
198. he requested I withholdCopy !req
199. all information,Copy !req
200. including the names ofCopy !req
201. his numerous beneficiaries,Copy !req
202. until a public will-reading.Copy !req
203. That's tomorrow afternoon.Copy !req
204. It's been a long timeCopy !req
205. coming, Alice, but I'm out.Copy !req
206. I'm done fighting.Copy !req
207. I want a divorce.Copy !req
208. - Are you still seeingCopy !req
209. Penelope Blossom?Copy !req
210. - No.Copy !req
211. And this isn't about that.Copy !req
212. This is about howCopy !req
213. I worshiped you likeCopy !req
214. a goddess for 20 years.Copy !req
215. We raisedCopy !req
216. a family together,Copy !req
217. and then the first chanceCopy !req
218. that you get, you sideCopy !req
219. with a stranger over me?Copy !req
220. And you too, Betty.Copy !req
221. I can't believeCopy !req
222. that you wouldCopy !req
223. choose Chic's sideCopy !req
224. over your own father.Copy !req
225. Dad, if this is truly aboutCopy !req
226. Chic, then I'm with you, okay?Copy !req
227. Let's ask him to move out.Copy !req
228. You sold The RegisterCopy !req
229. to that scumbag Hiram Lodge.Copy !req
230. I should be the oneCopy !req
231. divorcing you!Copy !req
232. Hiram offered meCopy !req
233. a fairer price, Alice.Copy !req
234. Half of whichCopy !req
235. I will give to you,Copy !req
236. if you agree to set me free...Copy !req
237. Immediately.Copy !req
238. I'm listening.Copy !req
239. I put the odds of FredCopy !req
240. saying yes at about 50-50.Copy !req
241. As always, mija,Copy !req
242. anything you can whisperCopy !req
243. in Archie's ear?Copy !req
244. Mom, he's my boyfriend,Copy !req
245. not a constituent.Copy !req
246. Ah, you influence ArchieCopy !req
247. and Archie influences Fred,Copy !req
248. and we need Fred right now.Copy !req
249. When we announceCopy !req
250. our bigger plans—Copy !req
251. It'd sound better comingCopy !req
252. out of his well-respected,Copy !req
253. well-liked mouth.Copy !req
254. Fine. I'll do my best.Copy !req
255. Are you stillCopy !req
256. going after Hiram Lodge?Copy !req
257. Well, that depends.Copy !req
258. Who's asking? You?Copy !req
259. Veronica?Copy !req
260. The archfiend himself?Copy !req
261. Jug, there's gonna beCopy !req
262. a special electionCopy !req
263. to replace Josie's mom.Copy !req
264. - Hiram LodgeCopy !req
265. wants my dad to run.Copy !req
266. - What? Why?Copy !req
267. Who freaking knows? Jughead,Copy !req
268. I'm with Veronica, so thatCopy !req
269. means I'm with the Lodges.Copy !req
270. - But my dad,Copy !req
271. I can't let him get inCopy !req
272. any deeper with them.Copy !req
273. So tell him he shouldn't run.Copy !req
274. Veronica would kill meCopy !req
275. if I did. And ditto the Lodges.Copy !req
276. Maybe I couldCopy !req
277. give you something.Copy !req
278. Maybe you could writeCopy !req
279. about it and that mightCopy !req
280. make my dad hit pause.Copy !req
281. Okay.Copy !req
282. You remember whenCopy !req
283. Hiram Lodge gave Pop TateCopy !req
284. that charitable donationCopy !req
285. to keep that diner open?Copy !req
286. - Yeah, we were all there.Copy !req
287. - Except Hiram LodgeCopy !req
288. didn't give Pop's a donation.Copy !req
289. - He bought the diner.Copy !req
290. - What?Copy !req
291. And for some reason,Copy !req
292. he doesn't want anyoneCopy !req
293. to know about it.Copy !req
294. Can you do somethingCopy !req
295. with that fact?Copy !req
296. At least enough to makeCopy !req
297. my dad think twice aboutCopy !req
298. this stupid mayor idea.Copy !req
299. - He bought the diner?Copy !req
300. - Yes!Copy !req
301. God! Hiram is like Dracula.Copy !req
302. Snapping up propertiesCopy !req
303. from all over Riverdale toCopy !req
304. expand his empire and feed.Copy !req
305. If what you'reCopy !req
306. telling me is true,Copy !req
307. everyone is in danger.Copy !req
308. I figured out Hiram'sCopy !req
309. methodology.Copy !req
310. He acquires devalued landCopy !req
311. at a deep, some might sayCopy !req
312. criminal discount.Copy !req
313. Twilight Drive-In,Copy !req
314. Sunnyside Trailer Park,Copy !req
315. Southside High, and nowCopy !req
316. Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe.Copy !req
317. - Wait, Pop's?Copy !req
318. - Hiram bought Pop's?Copy !req
319. Yeah. And while mostCopy !req
320. people didn't care aboutCopy !req
321. Hiram's other acquisitions,Copy !req
322. probably becauseCopy !req
323. they were on the Southside—Copy !req
324. Pop's is the heartCopy !req
325. of Riverdale.Copy !req
326. Right. People will careCopy !req
327. about this one.Copy !req
328. So, when are youCopy !req
329. talking to Pop?Copy !req
330. I was doing some researchCopy !req
331. and apparently, your dadCopy !req
332. needs 1,200 signaturesCopy !req
333. - before he can evenCopy !req
334. run for mayor.Copy !req
335. So I was thinking,Copy !req
336. if you're not doing anything,Copy !req
337. maybe we canCopy !req
338. collect them together.Copy !req
339. You know what?Copy !req
340. I actually have some homeworkCopy !req
341. I have to catch up on.Copy !req
342. - I'll talk to you later.Copy !req
343. - Wait, Archie—Copy !req
344. - Polly, what are youCopy !req
345. doing home again?Copy !req
346. She just walkedCopy !req
347. through the doorCopy !req
348. with these perfect babies.Copy !req
349. I thought it would be niceCopy !req
350. to surprise Mom.Copy !req
351. And I was surprisedCopy !req
352. to meet our brother.Copy !req
353. You have to hold one.Copy !req
354. I'd love to.Copy !req
355. Here.Copy !req
356. Oh, hello.Copy !req
357. Hey, where's Dad,Copy !req
358. by the way?Copy !req
359. Are we all gonna goCopy !req
360. to the will-reading together?Copy !req
361. - What will-reading?Copy !req
362. - What?Copy !req
363. You— You mean DadCopy !req
364. hasn't told you?Copy !req
365. Cheryl, I agreed to comeCopy !req
366. to this will-reading butCopy !req
367. I didn't agree to a makeover.Copy !req
368. Unless it involvesCopy !req
369. that blouse.Copy !req
370. Nice, right?Copy !req
371. For the record, j'adore yourCopy !req
372. flannel mesh aesthetic.Copy !req
373. I'm merely augmentingCopy !req
374. it for the occasion.Copy !req
375. What is going onCopy !req
376. in here, Cheryl?Copy !req
377. Mrs. Blossom, hi,Copy !req
378. I'm Toni Topaz.Copy !req
379. I'm a friend of Cheryl'sCopy !req
380. from schoolCopy !req
381. and she's lending me an outfitCopy !req
382. for the will-reading.Copy !req
383. And why on EarthCopy !req
384. would you be there?Copy !req
385. I invited her to beCopy !req
386. my emotional support.Copy !req
387. Just make sureCopy !req
388. you're downstairs beforeCopy !req
389. the guests start to arrive.Copy !req
390. We need to presentCopy !req
391. a united front againstCopy !req
392. those scavengers.Copy !req
393. Ugh. She's a nightmare.Copy !req
394. Isn't she though?Copy !req
395. Hey, Arch,Copy !req
396. check this out!Copy !req
397. When I applied to collegeCopy !req
398. to be an urban planner...Copy !req
399. This is before GrandpaCopy !req
400. already got sick,Copy !req
401. this was a presentationCopy !req
402. that I made for some programCopy !req
403. I never got into.Copy !req
404. Riverdale 2020.Copy !req
405. Small town with a big future.Copy !req
406. - Sounds corny, huh?Copy !req
407. - No, Dad, this is awesome.Copy !req
408. - Hello?Copy !req
409. Archie! Mr. Andrews?Copy !req
410. Oh, goody!Copy !req
411. You're both here.Copy !req
412. So I fully realizeCopy !req
413. I'm putting the cartCopy !req
414. before the horse,Copy !req
415. but I was spitballingCopy !req
416. some design ideas,Copy !req
417. and I think I may haveCopy !req
418. come up with a fewCopy !req
419. potential campaign logos.Copy !req
420. Veronica, those are terrific,Copy !req
421. I gotta say, but— Oh!Copy !req
422. - Now, that one,Copy !req
423. that's my favorite. Hmm.Copy !req
424. - Mine too.Copy !req
425. Great. So I'll have someCopy !req
426. buttons and T-shirtsCopy !req
427. printed ASAP.Copy !req
428. Why are youCopy !req
429. pushing this on him?Copy !req
430. I'm not. I just thinkCopy !req
431. your dad would makeCopy !req
432. a great mayor.Copy !req
433. Why are you resistingCopy !req
434. this so much?Copy !req
435. Because, Ronnie,Copy !req
436. my dad is not cut out forCopy !req
437. what your parents want.Copy !req
438. Which is what, in your mind?Copy !req
439. A dog on a leashCopy !req
440. who does what it's told.Copy !req
441. And if not, they'll pushCopy !req
442. him out like they didCopy !req
443. Mayor McCoy.Copy !req
444. Archie, Mayor McCoy hadCopy !req
445. an affair with Sheriff Keller.Copy !req
446. That's why she stepped down.Copy !req
447. My parents had nothingCopy !req
448. to do with it,Copy !req
449. which I would swear to youCopy !req
450. on the Bible.Copy !req
451. I feel like you're steering me,Copy !req
452. Ronnie, like you're steeringCopy !req
453. my dad, and it's not cool.Copy !req
454. So ease off him.Copy !req
455. Okay.Copy !req
456. "I, Clifford Cochrane Blossom,Copy !req
457. being of sound mind and body,Copy !req
458. do here inscribe the terms ofCopy !req
459. my last will and testament.Copy !req
460. Firstly...Copy !req
461. Ownership of ThistlehouseCopy !req
462. will stay with our belovedCopy !req
463. matriarch, Roseanne Blossom.Copy !req
464. To my wife and partner,Copy !req
465. Penelope,Copy !req
466. I leave ownership ofCopy !req
467. our greatest treasure,Copy !req
468. Thornhill, the exquisiteCopy !req
469. mansion she made a home."Copy !req
470. The charred huskCopy !req
471. of an empty house.Copy !req
472. That soundsCopy !req
473. about right, Mother.Copy !req
474. Now, the reasonCopy !req
475. I contacted you and youCopy !req
476. all traveled to be here.Copy !req
477. "Any and all remainingCopy !req
478. assets of my fortuneCopy !req
479. will be divided in half.Copy !req
480. The first half will beCopy !req
481. distributed equallyCopy !req
482. to anyone in RiverdaleCopy !req
483. who can prove withCopy !req
484. medical authenticationCopy !req
485. that even one drop ofCopy !req
486. Blossom blood flowsCopy !req
487. through their veins."Copy !req
488. I knew it!Copy !req
489. - Alice, what the hellCopy !req
490. are you doing here?Copy !req
491. - Accusing you publicly.Copy !req
492. You only wanted a divorceCopy !req
493. so that you could cheat meCopy !req
494. out of your big,Copy !req
495. fancy Blossom payday.Copy !req
496. It's not just my payday,Copy !req
497. the girls shareCopy !req
498. Blossom blood too.Copy !req
499. My lawyer is gonnaCopy !req
500. rip you apart.Copy !req
501. Isn't that right,Copy !req
502. Attorney McCoy?Copy !req
503. I will be taking halfCopy !req
504. of whatever blood money you getCopy !req
505. - from this inbredCopy !req
506. cesspool of a family.Copy !req
507. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
508. I said inbred.Copy !req
509. Would you please just leave?Copy !req
510. Shut your face,Copy !req
511. you half-meltedCopy !req
512. ten cent trollop!Copy !req
513. Oh, this is riveting,Copy !req
514. I can't breathe.Copy !req
515. - Usual, Jughead?Copy !req
516. - Not today, Pop.Copy !req
517. I actually haveCopy !req
518. a question for you.Copy !req
519. Did Hiram Lodge buyCopy !req
520. this diner from you?Copy !req
521. Jughead...Copy !req
522. The Tates have ownedCopy !req
523. this diner for over 80 years.Copy !req
524. When my ma gave me the keys,Copy !req
525. she made me promiseCopy !req
526. that no matter what,Copy !req
527. I'd always keep this shopCopy !req
528. in our family.Copy !req
529. Now, I did what I neededCopy !req
530. to with Mr. LodgeCopy !req
531. but my mother's stillCopy !req
532. with us, God bless.Copy !req
533. It would kill her to hearCopy !req
534. I went against her wishes.Copy !req
535. Please, Jug, can youCopy !req
536. keep this to yourselfCopy !req
537. while I still have my mom?Copy !req
538. And then you canCopy !req
539. tell whoever you want.Copy !req
540. Now that the interloperCopy !req
541. has been escortedCopy !req
542. from the premises,Copy !req
543. we can finish our business.Copy !req
544. As I was saying...Copy !req
545. "The other half of my fortuneCopy !req
546. will go to my true heirs,Copy !req
547. Jason and Cheryl."Copy !req
548. As the one true Blossom heir,Copy !req
549. I feel it is my sacred dutyCopy !req
550. to say a few words.Copy !req
551. The Blossoms have beenCopy !req
552. bathing in bloodCopy !req
553. since Great-Grandpappy BlossomCopy !req
554. killed his brother.Copy !req
555. The original sinCopy !req
556. of Riverdale.Copy !req
557. Well, I stand before youCopy !req
558. to say, no more.Copy !req
559. No more blood.Copy !req
560. No more madness.Copy !req
561. No more horror.Copy !req
562. Here, here.Copy !req
563. Couldn't have said itCopy !req
564. better myself.Copy !req
565. Oh, Mumsy, I hadCopy !req
566. the most frightful daymare.Copy !req
567. Daddy was back.Copy !req
568. Calm down,Copy !req
569. it's not what you think.Copy !req
570. Hello, Cheryl.Copy !req
571. I'm your Uncle Claudius.Copy !req
572. - Twin to your father.Copy !req
573. - Twin? But...Copy !req
574. Daddy never said anythingCopy !req
575. about having a brother.Copy !req
576. Well, allow me to explain.Copy !req
577. When Clifford and I were boys,Copy !req
578. we were inseparable,Copy !req
579. modern-day Romulus and Remus.Copy !req
580. And it became apparentCopy !req
581. that I was being primed toCopy !req
582. inherit the Blossom empire.Copy !req
583. Till our 14th birthday.Copy !req
584. Clifford and I were down byCopy !req
585. Sweetwater River and he, uh...Copy !req
586. He pointed a rifle at meCopy !req
587. and with eyes void ofCopy !req
588. humanity, he told meCopy !req
589. about the Blossom curse.Copy !req
590. How one of the twins alwaysCopy !req
591. meets a violent end and oftenCopy !req
592. at the hands of the other.Copy !req
593. Well, he spared me.Copy !req
594. But that very night,Copy !req
595. I ran away from homeCopy !req
596. without a trace.Copy !req
597. It broke my heart.Copy !req
598. I couldn't bearCopy !req
599. to speak your name.Copy !req
600. I joined the Merchant Marines.Copy !req
601. I sailed the seasCopy !req
602. desperate to outrunCopy !req
603. the Blossom curse.Copy !req
604. How soon do youCopy !req
605. think we could get thoseCopy !req
606. blood tests done?Copy !req
607. Do you think Dr. PatelCopy !req
608. works on weekends?Copy !req
609. - I'll call and check.Copy !req
610. - Polly, what's the rush?Copy !req
611. I just wanna know how muchCopy !req
612. money we're inheriting.Copy !req
613. Between you, me,Copy !req
614. Chic and the babies,Copy !req
615. we could start our ownCopy !req
616. version of the farm.Copy !req
617. Uh, I'm not gettingCopy !req
618. my blood tested.Copy !req
619. Really, Chic, how come?Copy !req
620. - Uh, I don't knowCopy !req
621. these people.Copy !req
622. - They're your cousins.Copy !req
623. We're all Blossoms,Copy !req
624. like it or not.Copy !req
625. I'm not, thank the Lord.Copy !req
626. I don't wantCopy !req
627. their blood money.Copy !req
628. - Don't be stupid.Copy !req
629. - I said, I don'tCopy !req
630. want their money.Copy !req
631. Besides, needles trigger me.Copy !req
632. Polly, Betty,Copy !req
633. leave your brother alone.Copy !req
634. He can decide for himself.Copy !req
635. Mom, I decided something.Copy !req
636. I'm happy to do the family'sCopy !req
637. bidding at school,Copy !req
638. but Archie is off the table.Copy !req
639. - You're losing your nerve?Copy !req
640. - No!Copy !req
641. Not even close, but I amCopy !req
642. afraid of losing Archie.Copy !req
643. He's become a pawnCopy !req
644. on our chessboard andCopy !req
645. it's hurting our relationship.Copy !req
646. Veronica, in thisCopy !req
647. business of ours,Copy !req
648. the women always walkCopy !req
649. the razor's edge.Copy !req
650. The men are the gangsters,Copy !req
651. but us,Copy !req
652. the molls, we use our wiles,Copy !req
653. our cunning,Copy !req
654. a hand on an elbow,Copy !req
655. a whisper in an ear,Copy !req
656. to manage things fromCopy !req
657. behind the scenes.Copy !req
658. Maybe, but not me.Copy !req
659. Not with Archie.Copy !req
660. You're right.Copy !req
661. You're right to protect yourCopy !req
662. relationship with Archie.Copy !req
663. We gotta get aggressive, Kev.Copy !req
664. Chic's turning down a lot ofCopy !req
665. money because he's refusingCopy !req
666. to take a blood test.Copy !req
667. And we needCopy !req
668. to find out why.Copy !req
669. What exactlyCopy !req
670. is he hiding?Copy !req
671. What am I supposed to do?Copy !req
672. Just ask him?Copy !req
673. I have a plan.Copy !req
674. It's slightly insane.Copy !req
675. - Hey, stranger.Copy !req
676. Been missing your cute face.Copy !req
677. Where'd you go?Copy !req
678. Uh, yeah, sorry.Copy !req
679. I went MIA. I actually...Copy !req
680. Just got testedCopy !req
681. for the first time and...Copy !req
682. I'm negative but it'sCopy !req
683. been pretty intense.Copy !req
684. Your first test?Copy !req
685. Congrats, cowboy.Copy !req
686. - That's a milestone.Copy !req
687. Uh, do you get tested?Copy !req
688. Yeah, I used to go every week.Copy !req
689. Man, I had the worseCopy !req
690. scare once!Copy !req
691. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
692. What happened?Copy !req
693. Yeah, it's a long storyCopy !req
694. but, uh...Copy !req
695. I was living with a rougherCopy !req
696. crew than I am now.Copy !req
697. Wait, are you talkingCopy !req
698. to somebody else?Copy !req
699. That's it, that's it.Copy !req
700. I'm out!Copy !req
701. No! What doCopy !req
702. you mean, Kev?Copy !req
703. Sorry, Betty, but yourCopy !req
704. brother actually seemsCopy !req
705. like a really good guyCopy !req
706. and this is startingCopy !req
707. to make me feel likeCopy !req
708. a really bad personCopy !req
709. so sorry,Copy !req
710. but I'm done.Copy !req
711. Well?Copy !req
712. Did Pops confirmCopy !req
713. Mr. Lodge bought the diner?Copy !req
714. Yeah, he did.Copy !req
715. But I'm sorry, I can'tCopy !req
716. publish that article, Archie.Copy !req
717. It would break Pop's heart.Copy !req
718. Jug, we can't give up.Copy !req
719. I think my dad's gonna run.Copy !req
720. Archie, I have talkedCopy !req
721. to every possible suspectCopy !req
722. connected to the Lodges,Copy !req
723. even Mayor McCoy.Copy !req
724. They're all on lockdown.Copy !req
725. Maybe you've been talkingCopy !req
726. to the wrong McCoy.Copy !req
727. I'm brunching, Archie.Copy !req
728. What do you want?Copy !req
729. My dad is seconds awayCopy !req
730. from running for mayorCopy !req
731. with the Lodges' support.Copy !req
732. And I don't him to go throughCopy !req
733. what your mom did.Copy !req
734. So I was thinking maybeCopy !req
735. you could get your momCopy !req
736. to talk to him.Copy !req
737. Even secretly.Copy !req
738. Archie, my mom barelyCopy !req
739. made it out ofCopy !req
740. the mayor's office alive.Copy !req
741. If she lets slipCopy !req
742. even a whisperCopy !req
743. of what went down betweenCopy !req
744. her and the Lodges,Copy !req
745. there'd be hell to pay.Copy !req
746. She'd implicate herselfCopy !req
747. in about a million ways.Copy !req
748. Yeah, I figured.Copy !req
749. But isn't there plentyCopy !req
750. of stuff your momCopy !req
751. could say to my dadCopy !req
752. that would kill his buzzCopy !req
753. without getting intoCopy !req
754. the shady stuff?Copy !req
755. It's not all ribbon ceremoniesCopy !req
756. and catered affairs, Fred.Copy !req
757. It's filling potholes,Copy !req
758. collecting trash,Copy !req
759. and if you think you canCopy !req
760. run this townCopy !req
761. plus Andrews ConstructionCopy !req
762. at the same time, forget it.Copy !req
763. I've got a pretty goodCopy !req
764. team working for me.Copy !req
765. And then there areCopy !req
766. the uglier aspects of the job.Copy !req
767. Crime, poverty, threats...Copy !req
768. Like the Black Hood?Copy !req
769. Right now, you might beCopy !req
770. the people's shiningCopy !req
771. hope of Riverdale,Copy !req
772. but say you do win, Fred.Copy !req
773. They'll turn their back on you,Copy !req
774. and all your friendsCopy !req
775. will be standing in lineCopy !req
776. to stab you in the back.Copy !req
777. I appreciateCopy !req
778. the real talk, Sierra.Copy !req
779. I haven't even gottenCopy !req
780. to the real talk yet, Fred.Copy !req
781. Let's chat about the pittanceCopy !req
782. that is the mayor's salary.Copy !req
783. - I know.Copy !req
784. - Oh. Hello.Copy !req
785. Mom! I'm late for work,Copy !req
786. can you drive me?Copy !req
787. Not right now, Chic,Copy !req
788. I'm with the twins.Copy !req
789. Take the bus or walk.Copy !req
790. Oh, hi.Copy !req
791. Pop Tate, to whatCopy !req
792. do I owe this honor?Copy !req
793. Sorry to bother youCopy !req
794. at home, Mr. Lodge.Copy !req
795. Come on in.Copy !req
796. Apparently,Copy !req
797. Jughead JonesCopy !req
798. is asking questionsCopy !req
799. about the ownershipCopy !req
800. of the Chock'lit Shoppe.Copy !req
801. - Jughead Jones!Copy !req
802. - Daddy!Copy !req
803. Did Pop Tate keepCopy !req
804. his mouth shut?Copy !req
805. - More or less.Copy !req
806. - Then Jughead has nothing.Copy !req
807. No, what he has is someoneCopy !req
808. from our inner circleCopy !req
809. feeding him information.Copy !req
810. Now, the only peopleCopy !req
811. that know that we ownCopy !req
812. Pop's are the three of us.Copy !req
813. And Archie Andrews.Copy !req
814. And yes, he's provenCopy !req
815. his loyalty to us,Copy !req
816. but what's to sayCopy !req
817. he isn't feeding informationCopy !req
818. to his best pal, Jug.Copy !req
819. It was me.Copy !req
820. I told JugheadCopy !req
821. about Pop's.Copy !req
822. - What?Copy !req
823. - Why?Copy !req
824. When we wereCopy !req
825. all at Shadow Lake,Copy !req
826. Jughead was grilling meCopy !req
827. about the Southside,Copy !req
828. asking incessant questionsCopy !req
829. about SoDale,Copy !req
830. the trailer park,Copy !req
831. Southside High.Copy !req
832. I had to get him off the scent,Copy !req
833. so I distracted himCopy !req
834. with the smallest truthCopy !req
835. I could, the diner.Copy !req
836. Veronica, so help me,Copy !req
837. that is a—Copy !req
838. - That was quickCopy !req
839. thinking, mija.Copy !req
840. - What?Copy !req
841. You can't possibly thinkCopy !req
842. that was a prudent choice.Copy !req
843. I do.Copy !req
844. Veronica wiselyCopy !req
845. threw the dog a little,Copy !req
846. relatively harmless boneCopy !req
847. to keep him fromCopy !req
848. digging up a much bigger,Copy !req
849. more controversial one.Copy !req
850. Yes, exactly.Copy !req
851. Her gambit bought usCopy !req
852. the time we need for someCopy !req
853. preemptive damage control.Copy !req
854. Ojalá,Copy !req
855. you two are right.Copy !req
856. Hiram'sCopy !req
857. gonna beat the clock.Copy !req
858. Feels like every stepCopy !req
859. I make, he's twoCopy !req
860. or ten steps ahead of me.Copy !req
861. He's lapping me!Copy !req
862. He's been winning atCopy !req
863. this game a lot longerCopy !req
864. than you've been alive.Copy !req
865. Yeah, because he's beenCopy !req
866. rigging the gameCopy !req
867. and everyone'sCopy !req
868. too afraid to come outCopy !req
869. and speak against him.Copy !req
870. You know, uh...Copy !req
871. There's one personCopy !req
872. you haven't askedCopy !req
873. to go on the record yet.Copy !req
874. Who?Copy !req
875. Me.Copy !req
876. You know, back in the day,Copy !req
877. Hiram asked me and the SerpentsCopy !req
878. to trash the drive-inCopy !req
879. so he could buy itCopy !req
880. for rock-bottom price.Copy !req
881. We complied.Copy !req
882. On purpose?Copy !req
883. You worked for Hiram Lodge?Copy !req
884. I'll own up to that.Copy !req
885. On the record,Copy !req
886. if it'll help youCopy !req
887. bring him down.Copy !req
888. - Hello?Copy !req
889. - Jughead Jones?Copy !req
890. I have informationCopy !req
891. about Hiram Lodge's plans.Copy !req
892. Riverdale bus terminal.Copy !req
893. 20 minutes.Copy !req
894. Who was that?Copy !req
895. I have no idea.Copy !req
896. But you may not haveCopy !req
897. to go on the record just yet.Copy !req
898. I'm gonna kill you.Copy !req
899. You're leaking privateCopy !req
900. information about my family.Copy !req
901. Information that my fatherCopy !req
902. trusted you with.Copy !req
903. - Look, if this is about Pop's—Copy !req
904. - Damn right it is!Copy !req
905. And lucky for you,Copy !req
906. I fell on the swordCopy !req
907. and saved you fromCopy !req
908. his apocalyptic wrath.Copy !req
909. - You didn't have to that.Copy !req
910. - Yes, I did.Copy !req
911. If my dad ever found outCopy !req
912. you snitched,Copy !req
913. do you know whatCopy !req
914. he would do to you?Copy !req
915. Veronica, I'm not gonnaCopy !req
916. apologize to you for tryingCopy !req
917. to protect my dad!Copy !req
918. From my parents?Copy !req
919. Archie, this isn'tCopy !req
920. The Manchurian Candidate.Copy !req
921. - And your fatherCopy !req
922. is an untouchable.Copy !req
923. He'll never be hurtCopy !req
924. or corrupted.Copy !req
925. What happenedCopy !req
926. to your loyalty?Copy !req
927. We brought you into thisCopy !req
928. because you saidCopy !req
929. you were fine with it.Copy !req
930. - You made a promise!Copy !req
931. - Veronica, you wantedCopy !req
932. my eyes wide open beforeCopy !req
933. I committed to your family.Copy !req
934. You insisted upon it, in fact.Copy !req
935. And if my dad is gonna runCopy !req
936. for mayor with your parents,Copy !req
937. he deserves to knowCopy !req
938. the whole truth and so do I.Copy !req
939. What whole truth?Copy !req
940. His big secret planCopy !req
941. for the Southside.Copy !req
942. You were almost gonna tell meCopy !req
943. at your confirmationCopy !req
944. but I stopped you.Copy !req
945. Well, now, I wanna know.Copy !req
946. For myself and for my dad.Copy !req
947. That's... That's somethingCopy !req
948. you'll have to talkCopy !req
949. to my dad about.Copy !req
950. Oh, hey, there you are.Copy !req
951. - Hey, Veronica.Copy !req
952. - Hi, Mr. Andrews.Copy !req
953. Perfect timing. Uh, I haveCopy !req
954. an announcement to make.Copy !req
955. You two are lookingCopy !req
956. at the next candidateCopy !req
957. for mayor of Riverdale.Copy !req
958. Guess you betterCopy !req
959. talk to my dad fast.Copy !req
960. Wasn't better when it wasCopy !req
961. just me, you and Mom?Copy !req
962. Uh... You—Copy !req
963. You don't like Polly?Copy !req
964. Love is finite.Copy !req
965. People run outCopy !req
966. of it eventually.Copy !req
967. They stop loving youCopy !req
968. or they start lovingCopy !req
969. someone else.Copy !req
970. One day, the sun isCopy !req
971. shining down on you,Copy !req
972. and the next,Copy !req
973. you're alone.Copy !req
974. And it's cold.Copy !req
975. And dark.Copy !req
976. Chic...Copy !req
977. Are you okay?Copy !req
978. Don't use my bathroomCopy !req
979. again, Betty.Copy !req
980. I haven't much time.Copy !req
981. Are you Deep Throat?Copy !req
982. You've been calling everyoneCopy !req
983. in town for information aboutCopy !req
984. Hiram Lodge but not me.Copy !req
985. That's why I called you.Copy !req
986. No offense, but how doesCopy !req
987. a bus driver have insiderCopy !req
988. information on Hiram Lodge?Copy !req
989. I used to be someone else,Copy !req
990. someone who was privyCopy !req
991. to Hiram Lodge'sCopy !req
992. personal affairs.Copy !req
993. Someone who sufferedCopy !req
994. at his whims.Copy !req
995. What kind of personal affairs?Copy !req
996. I coordinated transportationCopy !req
997. for Mr. Lodge,Copy !req
998. sometimes outCopy !req
999. to Shankshaw Prison.Copy !req
1000. He also received mailCopy !req
1001. from the warden there.Copy !req
1002. Shankshaw?Copy !req
1003. That's not whereCopy !req
1004. Hiram Lodge served time.Copy !req
1005. I'm afraid that's allCopy !req
1006. I have for you.Copy !req
1007. That's it?Copy !req
1008. And one more thing.Copy !req
1009. A question.Copy !req
1010. Miss Veronica,Copy !req
1011. how's she faringCopy !req
1012. through all this?Copy !req
1013. So, Mr. Blossom, how doesCopy !req
1014. it feel being back in RiverdaleCopy !req
1015. after all these years?Copy !req
1016. Ignore that person, Claudius.Copy !req
1017. I'd assumed tonightCopy !req
1018. would be family only.Copy !req
1019. It's all right.Copy !req
1020. I enjoy meeting new people.Copy !req
1021. Do you know,Copy !req
1022. during my journeys as a sailor,Copy !req
1023. I came upon the mostCopy !req
1024. wonderful island...Copy !req
1025. - Lesbos.Copy !req
1026. - Oh, my God.Copy !req
1027. It is the most beautifulCopy !req
1028. natural place on Earth.Copy !req
1029. Oh, you're notCopy !req
1030. going back on the boat,Copy !req
1031. dear boy, are you?Copy !req
1032. You're staying here with us.Copy !req
1033. Whatever I can do to makeCopy !req
1034. sure that you and this houseCopy !req
1035. are well cared for, Mother.Copy !req
1036. That is, of course,Copy !req
1037. as long as I'm welcome.Copy !req
1038. There's a room over the garage.Copy !req
1039. It's freezing in winterCopy !req
1040. and boiling in summer but...Copy !req
1041. It's there.Copy !req
1042. So, Hiram Lodge's master planCopy !req
1043. has something to do with yourCopy !req
1044. old stomping ground, Shankshaw.Copy !req
1045. I tried calling the wardenCopy !req
1046. a dozen timesCopy !req
1047. but he hasn't called me back.Copy !req
1048. That corrupt son of a bitch.Copy !req
1049. Do you have any contactsCopy !req
1050. on the inside that mightCopy !req
1051. know something?Copy !req
1052. Yeah, War Baby.Copy !req
1053. He knowsCopy !req
1054. everybody's business.Copy !req
1055. Can I get in to see him?Copy !req
1056. Can I just say, between us,Copy !req
1057. that Chic is creepy?Copy !req
1058. I don't think he likes meCopy !req
1059. and I don't thinkCopy !req
1060. that he likes the twins.Copy !req
1061. A couple of timesCopy !req
1062. I've just caught him,Copy !req
1063. like, staring at us.Copy !req
1064. Yeah, tell me about it.Copy !req
1065. It's part of the reasonCopy !req
1066. why I submitted a sampleCopy !req
1067. of Chic's blood to the labCopy !req
1068. that the Blossoms set up.Copy !req
1069. - CSI Nancy Drew!Copy !req
1070. - Yeah.Copy !req
1071. How did you get a sampleCopy !req
1072. of his blood?Copy !req
1073. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
1074. But Polly, I think thatCopy !req
1075. Dad may be rightCopy !req
1076. that Chic's dangerous,Copy !req
1077. possibly not even our brother.Copy !req
1078. Well, what do we doCopy !req
1079. if he's not?Copy !req
1080. Well, it'll crush MomCopy !req
1081. but we'll have to tell her.Copy !req
1082. In a way, it mayCopy !req
1083. kind of be a relief.Copy !req
1084. Hey, you're home.Copy !req
1085. Yeah, Polly just spentCopy !req
1086. her Blossom inheritanceCopy !req
1087. on silk headbands.Copy !req
1088. Betty, keep your voice down.Copy !req
1089. However Mom gotCopy !req
1090. Juniper and Dagwood to sleep,Copy !req
1091. I do not want themCopy !req
1092. waking up.Copy !req
1093. - Oh, no, the twins,Copy !req
1094. they're not home.Copy !req
1095. - What do you mean?Copy !req
1096. - Where are they?Copy !req
1097. - They're with Chic.Copy !req
1098. He wanted to take his nieceCopy !req
1099. and nephew for a walkCopy !req
1100. along Sweetwater River.Copy !req
1101. Why? Is thereCopy !req
1102. something wrong?Copy !req
1103. Mom, are you serious?Copy !req
1104. How could you letCopy !req
1105. a complete strangerCopy !req
1106. take my babies?Copy !req
1107. He's not a stranger.Copy !req
1108. He's your brotherCopy !req
1109. and he's doingCopy !req
1110. something nice for you.Copy !req
1111. Yeah, the hell he is!Copy !req
1112. What did you doCopy !req
1113. to my babies?Copy !req
1114. - Nothing, Polly.Copy !req
1115. They're fine.Copy !req
1116. What's up, Jonesy?Copy !req
1117. You want me to knockCopy !req
1118. some heads in here for ya?Copy !req
1119. Nah, War Baby,Copy !req
1120. we need intel.Copy !req
1121. You heard aboutCopy !req
1122. anything major goingCopy !req
1123. on behind the scenes?Copy !req
1124. Maybe to do withCopy !req
1125. a guy named Hiram?Copy !req
1126. - Hiram Lodge?Copy !req
1127. You're like Dracula.Copy !req
1128. He bought propertyCopy !req
1129. all over LondonCopy !req
1130. so he could moveCopy !req
1131. his vampire kingdomCopy !req
1132. over from Transylvania.Copy !req
1133. Except you're bringingCopy !req
1134. organized crime to Riverdale.Copy !req
1135. And you want my dadCopy !req
1136. to be mayor so he canCopy !req
1137. be your patsy, except...Copy !req
1138. What if you and himCopy !req
1139. don't see eye to eyeCopy !req
1140. on something?Copy !req
1141. What an imaginationCopy !req
1142. you have.Copy !req
1143. - What do you have there?Copy !req
1144. - This is my journal.Copy !req
1145. When Mrs. Lodge sent thatCopy !req
1146. fake FBI agent to test me,Copy !req
1147. I started taking detailed notesCopy !req
1148. of everything I saw whileCopy !req
1149. I was apprenticing with you.Copy !req
1150. - Is that a threat?Copy !req
1151. - I'm looking out for my family.Copy !req
1152. Archie...Copy !req
1153. I believe your fatherCopy !req
1154. and I will make a great team.Copy !req
1155. Moreover, in 18 months,Copy !req
1156. Lodge Industries will beCopy !req
1157. 100 percent legitimateCopy !req
1158. and Riverdale will beCopy !req
1159. virtually crime-free.Copy !req
1160. The safest small townCopy !req
1161. in America.Copy !req
1162. - How are you gonna do that?Copy !req
1163. Or am I not inner circleCopy !req
1164. enough to know?Copy !req
1165. Everything will becomeCopy !req
1166. clear very soon.Copy !req
1167. I'm just asking for youCopy !req
1168. to trust me.Copy !req
1169. Forget about me.Copy !req
1170. This is my dad we'reCopy !req
1171. talking about, Mr. Lodge.Copy !req
1172. We will all benefitCopy !req
1173. from this, Archie. I promise.Copy !req
1174. I'll hold you to that.Copy !req
1175. And in the meantime,Copy !req
1176. I'll keep this very close.Copy !req
1177. - Where's Betty?Copy !req
1178. - With Jughead.Copy !req
1179. - Why do you ask, Polly?Copy !req
1180. - I...Copy !req
1181. I... I'm going, Mom.Copy !req
1182. Chic said it would only beCopy !req
1183. a matter of time before youCopy !req
1184. left us for the farm again.Copy !req
1185. I'm not goingCopy !req
1186. to the farm, Mom.Copy !req
1187. I'm driving west,Copy !req
1188. San Francisco, maybe.Copy !req
1189. It's a nice city, Polly.Copy !req
1190. I've been there.Copy !req
1191. It's safe too.Copy !req
1192. Safe for the kids.Copy !req
1193. Will you at least let meCopy !req
1194. say goodbye to my grand-twins?Copy !req
1195. Of course.Copy !req
1196. Drop us a noteCopy !req
1197. with your new addressCopy !req
1198. when you get there.Copy !req
1199. Okay?Copy !req
1200. What's wrong?Copy !req
1201. We just got a call fromCopy !req
1202. our good friend Warden JeffriesCopy !req
1203. at Shankshaw Prison.Copy !req
1204. Seems that JugheadCopy !req
1205. and FP Jones paid a visitCopy !req
1206. to one of FP's cronies.Copy !req
1207. A well-informed,Copy !req
1208. loose-lipped crony.Copy !req
1209. We think they know, Daddy.Copy !req
1210. We think they know everything.Copy !req
1211. Which means it's justCopy !req
1212. a matter of timeCopy !req
1213. before Jughead splashes itCopy !req
1214. on the front pageCopy !req
1215. of a newspaper.Copy !req
1216. One we do not own.Copy !req
1217. Get Fred and ArchieCopy !req
1218. over here now.Copy !req
1219. Hiram Lodge isCopy !req
1220. diabolically insane.Copy !req
1221. Agreed. We needCopy !req
1222. to show RiverdaleCopy !req
1223. just how insane he is.Copy !req
1224. This is the best thingCopy !req
1225. you've ever written, Jug.Copy !req
1226. Principal WeatherbeeCopy !req
1227. needs to publish thisCopy !req
1228. right the hell now.Copy !req
1229. Let's go.Copy !req
1230. Jughead Jones may beCopy !req
1231. about to break a story.Copy !req
1232. A story about my plansCopy !req
1233. for Riverdale.Copy !req
1234. And rather than hear itCopy !req
1235. from him,Copy !req
1236. I think it's only rightCopy !req
1237. that you hear it from me.Copy !req
1238. This is quite a story,Copy !req
1239. Mr. Jones.Copy !req
1240. Thank you,Copy !req
1241. Principal Weatherbee.Copy !req
1242. Unfortunately, it's not oneCopy !req
1243. that the Blue and GoldCopy !req
1244. can print.Copy !req
1245. Why the heck not?Copy !req
1246. A malicious take-downCopy !req
1247. of one of our students' parentsCopy !req
1248. is not the appropriateCopy !req
1249. subject matter forCopy !req
1250. a school paper.Copy !req
1251. Now, if you'll bothCopy !req
1252. excuse me.Copy !req
1253. You're serious?Copy !req
1254. Southside High is gonnaCopy !req
1255. be turned into—Copy !req
1256. A private, for-profit prison.Copy !req
1257. Yeah, built on the bonesCopy !req
1258. of a high school.Copy !req
1259. What the hell have weCopy !req
1260. been building in SoDale?Copy !req
1261. What we've saidCopy !req
1262. all along. Housing.Copy !req
1263. For all the people whoCopy !req
1264. will work at the prison.Copy !req
1265. And you expect meCopy !req
1266. to support this as mayor?Copy !req
1267. We're hopingCopy !req
1268. you'd be open to it.Copy !req
1269. Yes.Copy !req
1270. - Can't do it. I'm outta here.Copy !req
1271. - Look, Fred—Copy !req
1272. We've been inCopy !req
1273. business for how long?Copy !req
1274. And you didn't tell me.Copy !req
1275. And the only reasonCopy !req
1276. you're telling me nowCopy !req
1277. is because it's getting readyCopy !req
1278. to become public.Copy !req
1279. I'll admit, it's not ideal.Copy !req
1280. "Not ideal," Hiram?Copy !req
1281. You wanna turn the townCopy !req
1282. that I love, my home,Copy !req
1283. my son's home,Copy !req
1284. into a prison.Copy !req
1285. Fred, please let meCopy !req
1286. tell you why and howCopy !req
1287. this is the right move,Copy !req
1288. for us, for Riverdale.Copy !req
1289. You just save that forCopy !req
1290. whoever it is that youCopy !req
1291. find to run for mayorCopy !req
1292. because we are leavingCopy !req
1293. and we are leaving now.Copy !req
1294. Come on, Archie.Copy !req
1295. Dad, I'm gonna stay.Copy !req
1296. Excuse me?Copy !req
1297. I wanna stay.Copy !req
1298. I wanna hear whatCopy !req
1299. Mr. Lodge has to say.Copy !req
1300. Then I will see youCopy !req
1301. at home then.Copy !req
1302. Thank you allCopy !req
1303. for coming.Copy !req
1304. Ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
1305. I give youCopy !req
1306. your next mayorCopy !req
1307. of Riverdale,Copy !req
1308. my mother, Hermione Lodge.Copy !req
1309. Thank you, Veronica,Copy !req
1310. and thank you all very much.Copy !req
1311. Like many of you,Copy !req
1312. I grew up in this townCopy !req
1313. dreaming of a better tomorrow.Copy !req
1314. For myself, for my familyCopy !req
1315. and for my friends.Copy !req
1316. - And now,Copy !req
1317. for the future thatCopy !req
1318. you all so deserve.Copy !req
1319. Riverdale is one ofCopy !req
1320. the most dynamic,Copy !req
1321. resilient communities...Copy !req
1322. The Lodges. How oftenCopy !req
1323. have I dreamt of gettingCopy !req
1324. my revenge on them.Copy !req
1325. Now, now, Claudius.Copy !req
1326. First things first.Copy !req
1327. Nana... Then Cheryl.Copy !req
1328. Of course, Penelope.Copy !req
1329. Our house must be put in order.Copy !req
1330. Riverdale cannotCopy !req
1331. succeed unless allCopy !req
1332. of us succeedCopy !req
1333. and that will requireCopy !req
1334. certain sacrifices.Copy !req
1335. What... What is this?Copy !req
1336. When you wouldn'tCopy !req
1337. submit to the DNA test,Copy !req
1338. I found some of your dentalCopy !req
1339. floss and sent it to the lab.Copy !req
1340. Those are the results.Copy !req
1341. You're not whoCopy !req
1342. you say you are, Chic.Copy !req
1343. So, who are you?Copy !req
1344. We will alsoCopy !req
1345. need your support.Copy !req
1346. We will need your trust.Copy !req
1347. We will need your loyalty.Copy !req
1348. I knew a prisonCopy !req
1349. would be a difficult sell.Copy !req
1350. Especially with Fred.Copy !req
1351. I was gonna ease himCopy !req
1352. into the idea.Copy !req
1353. And clearly, I should haveCopy !req
1354. told you both sooner.Copy !req
1355. I regret that.Copy !req
1356. To be honest, Mr. Lodge,Copy !req
1357. before Jason,Copy !req
1358. before the Black Hood,Copy !req
1359. before my dad was shot,Copy !req
1360. I might not have understoodCopy !req
1361. your point of view.Copy !req
1362. But I've changedCopy !req
1363. and I think RiverdaleCopy !req
1364. needs a change too.Copy !req
1365. This tradition hasCopy !req
1366. been in my family,Copy !req
1367. going back generations.Copy !req
1368. It's a...Copy !req
1369. sign of loyalty.Copy !req
1370. Once you do this,Copy !req
1371. there's no undoing it.Copy !req
1372. No changing your mind.Copy !req
1373. So are you certain?Copy !req
1374. I think...Copy !req
1375. I am.Copy !req
1376. You know what you need to do.Copy !req
1377. Now, Archie...Copy !req
1378. We come first.Copy !req
1379. This town has enduredCopy !req
1380. so much these past few years.Copy !req
1381. After so much adversity,Copy !req
1382. aren't we all ready forCopy !req
1383. a taste of prosperity?Copy !req
1384. And there it was.Copy !req
1385. The Lodges had won.Copy !req
1386. Time had run out for Riverdale.Copy !req
