1. Previously
Copy !req
2. on Riverdale...
Copy !req
3. This man...
Copy !req
4. His goal was something else.
Copy !req
5. It was like Angel of Death
Copy !req
6. had come to Riverdale.
Copy !req
7. Hello, Dilton.
Copy !req
8. Somebody has to teach them
Copy !req
9. how to stand their ground.
Copy !req
10. The way this town is going...
Copy !req
11. Your father's
Copy !req
12. facing serious jail time.
Copy !req
13. Serpents take care
Copy !req
14. of their own.
Copy !req
15. We got your back.
Copy !req
16. Smithers, would you
Copy !req
17. describe my father
Copy !req
18. as a good man?
Copy !req
19. I'd rather not say, miss.
Copy !req
20. I told your father
Copy !req
21. that you were...
Copy !req
22. Conflicted about helping him.
Copy !req
23. "If you do not testify,
Copy !req
24. your poor mother might be
Copy !req
25. drawn into this awful mess."
Copy !req
26. Whether or not Sheriff Keller
Copy !req
27. finds the person
Copy !req
28. who did this or not,
Copy !req
29. you don't have to worry.
Copy !req
30. I'm gonna protect you.
Copy !req
31. I swear it.
Copy !req
32. Behold,
Copy !req
33. Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe.
Copy !req
34. For decades,
Copy !req
35. the heart of Riverdale.
Copy !req
36. What the hell?
Copy !req
37. Now, the latest casualty
Copy !req
38. in the town's ongoing battle
Copy !req
39. against darkness.
Copy !req
40. - Pop?
Copy !req
41. - Did you see?
Copy !req
42. Did you see what they wrote
Copy !req
43. on my Chock'lit Shoppe?
Copy !req
44. No, no, no, no.
Copy !req
45. Do we need
Copy !req
46. a fire extinguisher?
Copy !req
47. What are you doing up?
Copy !req
48. I was going to bring
Copy !req
49. you breakfast.
Copy !req
50. I appreciate it, son.
Copy !req
51. But I've gotta get
Copy !req
52. to moving around sometime.
Copy !req
53. Little early for that,
Copy !req
54. isn't it?
Copy !req
55. No, I'm good.
Copy !req
56. Dad, the only thing
Copy !req
57. you need to be
Copy !req
58. worrying about
Copy !req
59. is getting better.
Copy !req
60. Crap. I gotta take this.
Copy !req
61. I gotta go. Bye.
Copy !req
62. Hi. Sheriff Keller?
Copy !req
63. No, no. Deputy, I've been
Copy !req
64. leaving messages
Copy !req
65. for the sheriff.
Copy !req
66. I need him to call me back
Copy !req
67. about my dad's case.
Copy !req
68. TTFN, Smithers.
Copy !req
69. Oh, wait, Ms. Veronica.
Copy !req
70. You might want to take
Copy !req
71. the side exit.
Copy !req
72. - Why?
Copy !req
73. Yeah, why, Smithers?
Copy !req
74. Because she might bump into me
Copy !req
75. coming in from an early run?
Copy !req
76. Good morning, Father.
Copy !req
77. Mija. You leave
Copy !req
78. before breakfast,
Copy !req
79. you come after your mother and
Copy !req
80. I have had dinner.
Copy !req
81. I can't remember the last time
Copy !req
82. we had meal together
Copy !req
83. as a family.
Copy !req
84. I can. It was at the Dakota.
Copy !req
85. The day you got arrested.
Copy !req
86. Well, perhaps we should talk
Copy !req
87. about that.
Copy !req
88. Tonight, at dinner.
Copy !req
89. The three of us.
Copy !req
90. Unfortunately, I have plans.
Copy !req
91. To quote that
Copy !req
92. New Yorker cartoon,
Copy !req
93. how about never, Dad,
Copy !req
94. is never good for you?
Copy !req
95. It's another win
Copy !req
96. for the bad guys.
Copy !req
97. No one was there.
Copy !req
98. His entire staff quit.
Copy !req
99. He says he's not sure how long
Copy !req
100. he'll be able
Copy !req
101. to keep the doors open,
Copy !req
102. maybe not even a week.
Copy !req
103. It's because of what
Copy !req
104. happened to my dad.
Copy !req
105. People are freaking out.
Copy !req
106. And I gotta be honest, guys,
Copy !req
107. I don't see myself going back
Copy !req
108. any time soon.
Copy !req
109. Wait, I'm sorry,
Copy !req
110. am I hearing acceptance?
Copy !req
111. I'm not letting one psychopath
Copy !req
112. with a gun
Copy !req
113. dictate what happens
Copy !req
114. to our place.
Copy !req
115. Jug, you went crazy trying
Copy !req
116. to save the drive-in.
Copy !req
117. I can't take on any more
Copy !req
118. social issues right now.
Copy !req
119. My hands are full.
Copy !req
120. With your dad, of course.
Copy !req
121. And he should be your priority.
Copy !req
122. I'll take point
Copy !req
123. on helping Pop Tate.
Copy !req
124. I'll help, too, Betty.
Copy !req
125. Hey, anything to get me
Copy !req
126. away from my parents, I'm in.
Copy !req
127. Another
Copy !req
128. Bee and Vee team-up.
Copy !req
129. They should really make
Copy !req
130. a video game about you guys.
Copy !req
131. - I gotta jet.
Copy !req
132. I'm off to meet my dad's
Copy !req
133. court-appointed joke
Copy !req
134. of a lawyer
Copy !req
135. at the sheriff's station.
Copy !req
136. I'm gonna come with you, Jug.
Copy !req
137. I gotta drop some flyers
Copy !req
138. off for Sheriff Keller.
Copy !req
139. Bye.
Copy !req
140. Sheriff Keller.
Copy !req
141. Archie,
Copy !req
142. how's your dad holding up?
Copy !req
143. Honestly, he'd be doing
Copy !req
144. a lot better
Copy !req
145. if you caught the guy
Copy !req
146. who shot him.
Copy !req
147. We're doing everything we can.
Copy !req
148. Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
149. I'm out here
Copy !req
150. handing out flyers,
Copy !req
151. talking to neighbors,
Copy !req
152. tracking my dad's credit cards
Copy !req
153. because his wallet is
Copy !req
154. still missing.
Copy !req
155. Which means this guy has all
Copy !req
156. of our personal information,
Copy !req
157. including where we live.
Copy !req
158. And we were witnesses.
Copy !req
159. If your guys are out there
Copy !req
160. patrolling, Sheriff,
Copy !req
161. - let me go with them,
Copy !req
162. I can help.
Copy !req
163. - Oh, no.
Copy !req
164. 10-4. We've got
Copy !req
165. a 53 in Greendale.
Copy !req
166. Greendale?
Copy !req
167. All right, copy that.
Copy !req
168. Just give me a sec.
Copy !req
169. Let us do our job.
Copy !req
170. You take care.
Copy !req
171. Let's talk about the damn deal.
Copy !req
172. First, to review
Copy !req
173. the charges you're facing,
Copy !req
174. arson,
Copy !req
175. destruction of evidence,
Copy !req
176. making a false confession,
Copy !req
177. obstructing justice,
Copy !req
178. not to mention this
Copy !req
179. whole nasty mess of dumping
Copy !req
180. a dead kid in the river.
Copy !req
181. I know what I did.
Copy !req
182. What's the deal?
Copy !req
183. What are they offering?
Copy !req
184. You're gonna want to take it.
Copy !req
185. I'm telling you, I've been
Copy !req
186. doing this a long time.
Copy !req
187. It's a strong deal.
Copy !req
188. How many damn years?
Copy !req
189. - Jughead. Are you insane?
Copy !req
190. You're the one that
Copy !req
191. looks like a Dream Warrior
Copy !req
192. from Nightmare on Elm Street 3.
Copy !req
193. What did the lawyer say?
Copy !req
194. I've been walking around
Copy !req
195. all night trying to wrap
Copy !req
196. my head around how bad it is.
Copy !req
197. It's bad.
Copy !req
198. My dad is facing
Copy !req
199. 20 years, Archie.
Copy !req
200. Crap, Jughead, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
201. That sucks.
Copy !req
202. The lawyer thinks he should
Copy !req
203. take the deal.
Copy !req
204. And that if he doesn't,
Copy !req
205. and the case goes to trial,
Copy !req
206. he could be facing 40 years.
Copy !req
207. I'm just really, really scared.
Copy !req
208. Yeah, me, too.
Copy !req
209. About what?
Copy !req
210. I couldn't sleep
Copy !req
211. last night, Jug.
Copy !req
212. I kept thinking
Copy !req
213. about your dad,
Copy !req
214. and Pop's,
Copy !req
215. and how maybe we can
Copy !req
216. kill two birds with one stone.
Copy !req
217. Can you meet me
Copy !req
218. at the Mayor's office?
Copy !req
219. Okay, great, I'll get it set.
Copy !req
220. But right now,
Copy !req
221. I need to call...
Copy !req
222. Hey, Bee, what's up?
Copy !req
223. I know you haven't been
Copy !req
224. sleeping in your room.
Copy !req
225. So where exactly have you been
Copy !req
226. spending your nights?
Copy !req
227. So, Betty.
Copy !req
228. Yes, Betty.
Copy !req
229. Ever since you and your dad
Copy !req
230. got home from the hospital,
Copy !req
231. she's noticed your room's been
Copy !req
232. unusually empty and quiet.
Copy !req
233. Why?
Copy !req
234. So I can... Watch the doors.
Copy !req
235. So I can make sure
Copy !req
236. no one comes in.
Copy !req
237. I know it sounds crazy,
Copy !req
238. but the guy who shot my dad
Copy !req
239. is still out there, Ronnie,
Copy !req
240. and I'm scared he's gonna
Copy !req
241. come back
Copy !req
242. and finish the job.
Copy !req
243. Archie,
Copy !req
244. you went through something
Copy !req
245. deeply traumatic.
Copy !req
246. Can I make a suggestion?
Copy !req
247. Please. Anything.
Copy !req
248. When I lived in New York,
Copy !req
249. I saw a therapist once a week
Copy !req
250. to help me get through
Copy !req
251. all sorts of Park Avenue drama.
Copy !req
252. Now, I'm not saying to go
Copy !req
253. see a therapist, Archie,
Copy !req
254. but maybe the school counselor
Copy !req
255. could help?
Copy !req
256. Mayor McCoy.
Copy !req
257. Betty, Jughead.
Copy !req
258. What can I help you with?
Copy !req
259. So, the Chock'lit Shoppe
Copy !req
260. is on the verge of closing,
Copy !req
261. and we want Pop Tate to know
Copy !req
262. that the entire town
Copy !req
263. is rallying behind him.
Copy !req
264. We were thinking that
Copy !req
265. you could...
Copy !req
266. Make the building a landmark,
Copy !req
267. or declare a "Pop's Day"
Copy !req
268. in support?
Copy !req
269. What if I endorse Pop's,
Copy !req
270. and next week someone else
Copy !req
271. is shot there?
Copy !req
272. My priority
Copy !req
273. as a mayor and as a mother
Copy !req
274. is keeping this town safe.
Copy !req
275. If we have to close Pop's,
Copy !req
276. I'm all for it.
Copy !req
277. Are you also "all for"
Copy !req
278. shipping my dad off
Copy !req
279. to a state prison
Copy !req
280. - for a murder that
Copy !req
281. he didn't commit?
Copy !req
282. - Shh.
Copy !req
283. What is this, an ambush?
Copy !req
284. I know you have an in
Copy !req
285. with the State Attorney.
Copy !req
286. If you could just call him
Copy !req
287. and try to get
Copy !req
288. my dad a better lawyer,
Copy !req
289. anything?
Copy !req
290. Your father made some mistakes,
Copy !req
291. I'm sure he'll get
Copy !req
292. a fair hearing.
Copy !req
293. Mayor McCoy?
Copy !req
294. You remember this moment.
Copy !req
295. 'Cause this is the moment
Copy !req
296. that you turned your back
Copy !req
297. on both Pop Tate
Copy !req
298. and my father.
Copy !req
299. Midge Klump.
Copy !req
300. The Klumpster.
Copy !req
301. Reggie,
Copy !req
302. what do you know
Copy !req
303. about jingle-jangle?
Copy !req
304. I know you shouldn't
Copy !req
305. say it so loud while
Copy !req
306. we're on school property.
Copy !req
307. And that I can score you some.
Copy !req
308. Who's it for?
Copy !req
309. Me and Moose.
Copy !req
310. Lemme see what I can do.
Copy !req
311. What's on your mind, Andrews?
Copy !req
312. Girl troubles, scabies?
Copy !req
313. Why are you seeking guidance
Copy !req
314. from Ms. Burble?
Copy !req
315. - I'm not.
Copy !req
316. - Maybe you should.
Copy !req
317. You look like my nuts
Copy !req
318. after football practice.
Copy !req
319. Hey. Do you have anything
Copy !req
320. that can help keep me awake?
Copy !req
321. Many things.
Copy !req
322. Amphetamines, Baclofen,
Copy !req
323. Modafinil, jingle-jangle.
Copy !req
324. Jingle-jangle?
Copy !req
325. That'll keep you up for days,
Copy !req
326. in more ways than one.
Copy !req
327. But why do you need uppers,
Copy !req
328. Wonder Bread?
Copy !req
329. Until the guy
Copy !req
330. who shot my dad
Copy !req
331. is caught,
Copy !req
332. I wanna be on high alert.
Copy !req
333. So, can you help me or not,
Copy !req
334. Reggie?
Copy !req
335. I got you, Andrews.
Copy !req
336. We can't let
Copy !req
337. the terrorists win.
Copy !req
338. We need to host
Copy !req
339. an event at Pop's
Copy !req
340. that reminds the town
Copy !req
341. of simpler times.
Copy !req
342. Like, a throwback
Copy !req
343. to when the shoppe
Copy !req
344. first opened its doors.
Copy !req
345. Betty, I like a good milkshake
Copy !req
346. as much as any girl,
Copy !req
347. and Pop's puts
Copy !req
348. Serendipity 3's to shame.
Copy !req
349. But, why this hill to die on?
Copy !req
350. Orange freezes with my mom
Copy !req
351. and Polly after ballet.
Copy !req
352. Chicken noodle soup
Copy !req
353. with my dad
Copy !req
354. after ice-skating...
Copy !req
355. Grilled cheeses with Archie
Copy !req
356. on the last day
Copy !req
357. of summer vacation.
Copy !req
358. It's where I met you
Copy !req
359. for the first time, Vee.
Copy !req
360. It's where I met you
Copy !req
361. for the first time.
Copy !req
362. Also...
Copy !req
363. Jug.
Copy !req
364. He may lose his dad,
Copy !req
365. but maybe I can save
Copy !req
366. this one place for him...
Copy !req
367. For all of us.
Copy !req
368. Hey. Veronica.
Copy !req
369. May I speak to you?
Copy !req
370. Daddy?
Copy !req
371. - Daddy?
Copy !req
372. - Daddy?
Copy !req
373. Every day I was in prison,
Copy !req
374. I thought about
Copy !req
375. getting back to you
Copy !req
376. and your mother.
Copy !req
377. And I knew
Copy !req
378. it wouldn't be easy,
Copy !req
379. I knew it would take time.
Copy !req
380. Meet me halfway.
Copy !req
381. Don't you think
Copy !req
382. I want to, Daddy?
Copy !req
383. Don't you think I want
Copy !req
384. everything to go back
Copy !req
385. to the way it was?
Copy !req
386. The three of us, walking into
Copy !req
387. some fabulous gala or ball.
Copy !req
388. You with your two
Copy !req
389. favorite girls.
Copy !req
390. But...
Copy !req
391. I can't.
Copy !req
392. The blindfold's off, Daddy,
Copy !req
393. I can't just put it back on.
Copy !req
394. I'm sorry, but I should
Copy !req
395. get back to my friends.
Copy !req
396. Yeah, hey, so...
Copy !req
397. Were you, uh...
Copy !req
398. Planning a dance in there?
Copy !req
399. An event. To keep Pop's
Copy !req
400. from closing.
Copy !req
401. Well, if I can help
Copy !req
402. in any way—
Copy !req
403. I'll let you know.
Copy !req
404. I tried going the legit route.
Copy !req
405. I even talked
Copy !req
406. to the mayor.
Copy !req
407. It's just...
Copy !req
408. It feels like
Copy !req
409. the whole system's
Copy !req
410. rigged against us.
Copy !req
411. What's FP saying?
Copy !req
412. Is he taking this deal?
Copy !req
413. Not if I can help it.
Copy !req
414. Tall Boy...
Copy !req
415. What if we bust him
Copy !req
416. out of jail
Copy !req
417. before he gets
Copy !req
418. transferred to state?
Copy !req
419. It's totally doable.
Copy !req
420. The sheriff's station
Copy !req
421. has worse security
Copy !req
422. than Riverdale High.
Copy !req
423. And once he's out,
Copy !req
424. it's just a straight shot
Copy !req
425. right up Sweetwater River
Copy !req
426. until the Canadian border.
Copy !req
427. You've seen
Copy !req
428. Escape From Alcatraz
Copy !req
429. a few too many times, kid.
Copy !req
430. Your dad needs a snake-handler.
Copy !req
431. Someone whose livelihood
Copy !req
432. depends on snakes.
Copy !req
433. Who's used to dealing with 'em.
Copy !req
434. I got someone you should meet.
Copy !req
435. Humpty and Dumpty.
Copy !req
436. Just in time to meet
Copy !req
437. our newest recruit.
Copy !req
438. In addition to my duties
Copy !req
439. as a Pussycat.
Copy !req
440. And, I just wanna say,
Copy !req
441. girls, I'm so excited
Copy !req
442. to work on my moves
Copy !req
443. and to be a team player,
Copy !req
444. as long as I'm in the front.
Copy !req
445. Wait, Cheryl,
Copy !req
446. does that mean you're taking
Copy !req
447. the Vixens back from me?
Copy !req
448. But, really, Veronica,
Copy !req
449. were they ever yours?
Copy !req
450. Cheryl, we were wondering if
Copy !req
451. maybe the Vixens would help
Copy !req
452. at an event to save Pop's.
Copy !req
453. Oh, Betty.
Copy !req
454. I did not emerge from
Copy !req
455. the frozen depths
Copy !req
456. of Sweetwater River,
Copy !req
457. nor the flames of Thornhill,
Copy !req
458. to allow my Vixens
Copy !req
459. to sling milkshakes
Copy !req
460. at some death-cursed diner.
Copy !req
461. The answer is a
Copy !req
462. double-cherry-on-top no.
Copy !req
463. Okay.
Copy !req
464. Great talk.
Copy !req
465. May I have
Copy !req
466. everyone's attention?
Copy !req
467. I have some tragic news
Copy !req
468. to share.
Copy !req
469. Ms. Grundy,
Copy !req
470. who was a teacher here
Copy !req
471. last semester,
Copy !req
472. was found
Copy !req
473. murdered in her Greendale home
Copy !req
474. last night.
Copy !req
475. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
476. I know
Copy !req
477. some of you were
Copy !req
478. students of hers,
Copy !req
479. and that this news
Copy !req
480. will be difficult to process.
Copy !req
481. Mr. Andrews?
Copy !req
482. First, you get shot.
Copy !req
483. Then, Ms. Grundy is murdered.
Copy !req
484. All within a matter of days.
Copy !req
485. Dad, what if some crazy person
Copy !req
486. is going after the people
Copy !req
487. that I care about?
Copy !req
488. What? You think I'm nuts?
Copy !req
489. No, son, I think you're scared.
Copy !req
490. Understandably so.
Copy !req
491. Truth is, son,
Copy !req
492. we don't know anything about
Copy !req
493. what happened to Ms. Grundy.
Copy !req
494. She's dead, she was killed.
Copy !req
495. Right across Sweetwater River.
Copy !req
496. I know.
Copy !req
497. It was a horrible thing.
Copy !req
498. Don't you wanna
Copy !req
499. find out who did this?
Copy !req
500. Who's doing this?
Copy !req
501. I'm, uh, here
Copy !req
502. for Penny Peabody?
Copy !req
503. Forgive the office space,
Copy !req
504. but I'm a firm believer
Copy !req
505. in low overhead.
Copy !req
506. Plus, I like being close
Copy !req
507. to my clients.
Copy !req
508. Your clients...
Copy !req
509. Being the Serpents?
Copy !req
510. Well, I was
Copy !req
511. and still am a Serpent.
Copy !req
512. They put me through college,
Copy !req
513. law school.
Copy !req
514. Right.
Copy !req
515. The Serpents are often
Copy !req
516. on the other side
Copy !req
517. of the law, so...
Copy !req
518. Having one of their own,
Copy !req
519. on retainer, helping out
Copy !req
520. is clever.
Copy !req
521. Well, FP always bragged
Copy !req
522. that you were smart.
Copy !req
523. Oh, yeah, I know your dad.
Copy !req
524. And I also know,
Copy !req
525. from our, uh, mutual friends,
Copy !req
526. the deal he's been offered.
Copy !req
527. It's garbage.
Copy !req
528. Can you help?
Copy !req
529. I know the loopholes.
Copy !req
530. In this case, there are none.
Copy !req
531. But, if you get
Copy !req
532. the victim's family
Copy !req
533. to forgive him,
Copy !req
534. in front of a judge,
Copy !req
535. that might shift things
Copy !req
536. in FP's favor.
Copy !req
537. Instead of 20 years,
Copy !req
538. he can get time served,
Copy !req
539. - with parole.
Copy !req
540. - Oh, that's great.
Copy !req
541. Yeah.
Copy !req
542. Thank you.
Copy !req
543. Uh, am I supposed
Copy !req
544. to pay you, or...
Copy !req
545. We're friends.
Copy !req
546. I do you a favor.
Copy !req
547. One day, maybe,
Copy !req
548. you do me a favor.
Copy !req
549. Let me know how it goes,
Copy !req
550. will you?
Copy !req
551. Tell your dad to wear a tie.
Copy !req
552. You're twitching, Archie.
Copy !req
553. Which means this
Copy !req
554. must be serious.
Copy !req
555. I think the same person
Copy !req
556. who shot my dad
Copy !req
557. may have murdered Ms. Grundy.
Copy !req
558. My, my.
Copy !req
559. We've come a long way
Copy !req
560. since dances at the gym
Copy !req
561. and varsity football tryouts,
Copy !req
562. haven't we?
Copy !req
563. You were the first
Copy !req
564. to know anything
Copy !req
565. about Jason's autopsy, Mom.
Copy !req
566. So, Archie's wondering if...
Copy !req
567. If I can get details on
Copy !req
568. Ms. Grundy's death
Copy !req
569. and see if they line up
Copy !req
570. with the attack on Fred.
Copy !req
571. It would be really helpful
Copy !req
572. to put Archie's mind at ease.
Copy !req
573. Fine. I'll reach out
Copy !req
574. to my ghoulish friend.
Copy !req
575. - Thank you, Mrs. Cooper.
Copy !req
576. - Thanks, Betty.
Copy !req
577. I should go.
Copy !req
578. I'll call you, Arch.
Copy !req
579. Spreading ourself
Copy !req
580. a little thin
Copy !req
581. as the patron saint
Copy !req
582. of lost causes,
Copy !req
583. aren't we, Betty?
Copy !req
584. Oh, you can cross
Copy !req
585. saving Pop's off your list.
Copy !req
586. Oh, haven't you heard?
Copy !req
587. Pop Tate is selling
Copy !req
588. the Chock'lit Shoppe.
Copy !req
589. What? To who?
Copy !req
590. To, and you'll love this,
Copy !req
591. an anonymous buyer.
Copy !req
592. Ring any bells?
Copy !req
593. Oh, Ms. Veronica.
Copy !req
594. I'll take those for you.
Copy !req
595. - Oh, thank you, Smithers.
Copy !req
596. Hey, girl.
Copy !req
597. What?
Copy !req
598. Are you buying Pop's?
Copy !req
599. The way you bought
Copy !req
600. the drive-in?
Copy !req
601. Anonymously?
Copy !req
602. And are you doing this
Copy !req
603. just to buy me?
Copy !req
604. Yesterday, at school,
Copy !req
605. did you think,
Copy !req
606. "Oh, Veronica's working so hard
Copy !req
607. to save the Chock'lit Shoppe,
Copy !req
608. I'll just save it for her!"
Copy !req
609. Veronica,
Copy !req
610. I'm not buying Pop's.
Copy !req
611. Now, please,
Copy !req
612. lower your voice and sit
Copy !req
613. so we can speak civilly.
Copy !req
614. Do you really want to talk,
Copy !req
615. Dad?
Copy !req
616. That's all I've wanted.
Copy !req
617. A fair hearing.
Copy !req
618. To explain myself.
Copy !req
619. Okay.
Copy !req
620. Let's talk about Mr. Andrews.
Copy !req
621. Mom asked him to sell
Copy !req
622. his portion of
Copy !req
623. the SoDale project,
Copy !req
624. and the day after
Copy !req
625. he rejected the offer,
Copy !req
626. he was shot in Pop's.
Copy !req
627. Was it your doing?
Copy !req
628. Veronica, first you accuse me,
Copy !req
629. then your father?
Copy !req
630. No, no.
Copy !req
631. I didn't shoot Fred.
Copy !req
632. Nor did I hire
Copy !req
633. someone to do it.
Copy !req
634. I was your
Copy !req
635. fiercest protector, Dad.
Copy !req
636. Ask Mom.
Copy !req
637. Whenever somebody called you
Copy !req
638. the devil incarnate,
Copy !req
639. I defended you.
Copy !req
640. I kept telling myself,
Copy !req
641. "He's not that bad.
Copy !req
642. You can forgive him."
Copy !req
643. And then you sent me this.
Copy !req
644. A letter threatening you, Mom.
Copy !req
645. That's the kind of man you're
Copy !req
646. letting back into our lives.
Copy !req
647. Veronica?
Copy !req
648. Your father didn't
Copy !req
649. write this letter.
Copy !req
650. I did.
Copy !req
651. I don't understand.
Copy !req
652. I needed you to testify on
Copy !req
653. your father's behalf.
Copy !req
654. So I wrote this letter.
Copy !req
655. Threatening myself.
Copy !req
656. Not your father.
Copy !req
657. She did it for us.
Copy !req
658. To survive.
Copy !req
659. So we can be a family again.
Copy !req
660. You two deserve each other.
Copy !req
661. It's not exactly
Copy !req
662. downsizing, is it?
Copy !req
663. Hobo. Bride of Hobo.
Copy !req
664. Welcome to Thistlehouse.
Copy !req
665. Mother's in the conservatory.
Copy !req
666. Follow me.
Copy !req
667. Thank you
Copy !req
668. for sitting down with us.
Copy !req
669. Of course, Betty.
Copy !req
670. You're family.
Copy !req
671. Okay.
Copy !req
672. The reason we're here...
Copy !req
673. FP's lawyer thinks that
Copy !req
674. if the family of the victim
Copy !req
675. shows mercy...
Copy !req
676. Mercy.
Copy !req
677. That's why you're here?
Copy !req
678. Well, it's an appeal
Copy !req
679. for leniency from you.
Copy !req
680. To reduce my dad's sentence.
Copy !req
681. Where was your father's mercy
Copy !req
682. when I spent
Copy !req
683. those countless nights
Copy !req
684. walking the halls
Copy !req
685. of Thornhill in agony,
Copy !req
686. obsessing over what
Copy !req
687. was happening to Jay-Jay?
Copy !req
688. Imagining the worst.
Copy !req
689. Where was your father's mercy
Copy !req
690. when I slept under
Copy !req
691. the same roof as a
Copy !req
692. cold-blooded killer,
Copy !req
693. night after night.
Copy !req
694. Cheryl...
Copy !req
695. FP didn't kill Jason.
Copy !req
696. Okay? That was your dad.
Copy !req
697. You saw the video.
Copy !req
698. If it were up to me,
Copy !req
699. I'd watch FP
Copy !req
700. fry in the electric chair.
Copy !req
701. We need this sordid chapter
Copy !req
702. closed forever,
Copy !req
703. and FP is the last
Copy !req
704. loose end to tie up.
Copy !req
705. I will not have a living,
Copy !req
706. breathing reminder
Copy !req
707. of the darkest chapter
Copy !req
708. of my life
Copy !req
709. walking the streets
Copy !req
710. of Riverdale.
Copy !req
711. What do we do now that
Copy !req
712. Cheryl's gone full Poison Ivy?
Copy !req
713. Blackmail. Extortion.
Copy !req
714. If they weren't weren't
Copy !req
715. literally an orphan and
Copy !req
716. a widow, I would do it.
Copy !req
717. Lacerations on the neck.
Copy !req
718. Her trachea's crushed.
Copy !req
719. Broken veins in her eyes
Copy !req
720. and the skin tears
Copy !req
721. suggest brutality.
Copy !req
722. This is a crime of passion.
Copy !req
723. Hatred.
Copy !req
724. He wanted to feel her
Copy !req
725. struggle as she died.
Copy !req
726. Tell me, Mrs. Cooper,
Copy !req
727. did you know the victim?
Copy !req
728. No.
Copy !req
729. Stop!
Copy !req
730. It's me.
Copy !req
731. Are you freakin' insane?
Copy !req
732. What the hell are you
Copy !req
733. doing here, Reggie?
Copy !req
734. Delivering your uppers,
Copy !req
735. clearly the last thing
Copy !req
736. you need.
Copy !req
737. You've lost it, Andrews.
Copy !req
738. You're the one here
Copy !req
739. wearing this hood.
Copy !req
740. It's called a prank,
Copy !req
741. I didn't expect you
Copy !req
742. to attack me.
Copy !req
743. What if I had
Copy !req
744. been the guy? Eh?
Copy !req
745. You would have just
Copy !req
746. tackled him?
Copy !req
747. Yeah. Damn right.
Copy !req
748. He has a gun, Andrews.
Copy !req
749. He's shot people.
Copy !req
750. Only a dumb-ass lunatic brings
Copy !req
751. a baseball bat to a gunfight.
Copy !req
752. There was no sign
Copy !req
753. of forced entry,
Copy !req
754. which probably means
Copy !req
755. she knew her killer.
Copy !req
756. The police don't know if any
Copy !req
757. of her personal belongings
Copy !req
758. were taken.
Copy !req
759. How, uh...
Copy !req
760. How did Ms. Grundy die?
Copy !req
761. The autopsy showed that
Copy !req
762. she was strangled.
Copy !req
763. With something
Copy !req
764. the killer grabbed on hand.
Copy !req
765. A cello bow, of all things.
Copy !req
766. There was a struggle.
Copy !req
767. She fought back.
Copy !req
768. But, Archie,
Copy !req
769. this was a crime of passion,
Copy !req
770. in another town with
Copy !req
771. a completely different
Copy !req
772. murder weapon.
Copy !req
773. The likelihood of these
Copy !req
774. two crimes being connected
Copy !req
775. seems slim.
Copy !req
776. Son...
Copy !req
777. If I say what I'm thinking,
Copy !req
778. you're just gonna think
Copy !req
779. I'm crazy.
Copy !req
780. Probably Mrs. Cooper's right.
Copy !req
781. Probably
Copy !req
782. they're not connected.
Copy !req
783. So,
Copy !req
784. why'd you do it, Pop?
Copy !req
785. Did they make you an offer
Copy !req
786. you couldn't refuse?
Copy !req
787. Who's buying it?
Copy !req
788. Do you even know?
Copy !req
789. It shames me to say.
Copy !req
790. ChugMo.
Copy !req
791. The liquor store chain?
Copy !req
792. Hey, could I make
Copy !req
793. a request of you, Pop?
Copy !req
794. For a last supper?
Copy !req
795. Anything you want.
Copy !req
796. Actually, it's not for me,
Copy !req
797. it's for my dad.
Copy !req
798. He's facing 20 years
Copy !req
799. of that weird meatloaf
Copy !req
800. that they serve prisoners.
Copy !req
801. So, barring
Copy !req
802. an eleventh-hour miracle,
Copy !req
803. I was
Copy !req
804. kind of hoping for his
Copy !req
805. last meal in Riverdale
Copy !req
806. that you could make
Copy !req
807. him his favorite.
Copy !req
808. Fried chicken, cornbread,
Copy !req
809. onion rings
Copy !req
810. and an orange freeze,
Copy !req
811. if memory serves.
Copy !req
812. It's very Rain Man
Copy !req
813. of you, Pop.
Copy !req
814. Been doing this a long time.
Copy !req
815. Thought I'd be doing it
Copy !req
816. until the day I die.
Copy !req
817. This is...
Copy !req
818. Unacceptable.
Copy !req
819. - What?
Copy !req
820. - Just everything.
Copy !req
821. Pop, have you
Copy !req
822. officially sold the diner?
Copy !req
823. The contract's being drawn up.
Copy !req
824. Do not sign it.
Copy !req
825. Okay? Do not give up.
Copy !req
826. Either of you.
Copy !req
827. I can fix this, all right?
Copy !req
828. I will fix this.
Copy !req
829. Okay? Bye.
Copy !req
830. Give a girl a warning,
Copy !req
831. will you?
Copy !req
832. You want closure, Cheryl.
Copy !req
833. I want to help
Copy !req
834. my boyfriend's dad.
Copy !req
835. I already told you.
Copy !req
836. And I'm telling you
Copy !req
837. to help FP.
Copy !req
838. - Or...
Copy !req
839. - Or what?
Copy !req
840. Or I wide-release the video
Copy !req
841. of your father shooting Jason.
Copy !req
842. Try having closure
Copy !req
843. with that out in the world.
Copy !req
844. I thought you gave that
Copy !req
845. damned thumb drive
Copy !req
846. to Sheriff Keller.
Copy !req
847. No. Not before I saved a copy
Copy !req
848. onto Jughead's laptop.
Copy !req
849. One click,
Copy !req
850. and the darkest chapter
Copy !req
851. of your family's
Copy !req
852. twisted psychodrama
Copy !req
853. becomes a viral sensation.
Copy !req
854. Are you threatening me?
Copy !req
855. This? No.
Copy !req
856. No, this is...
Copy !req
857. Fun girl talk.
Copy !req
858. You could save a man's life.
Copy !req
859. Think about that.
Copy !req
860. A nice ending to a sad story.
Copy !req
861. If I testify,
Copy !req
862. you're giving me that video.
Copy !req
863. And a guarantee that
Copy !req
864. any and all other copies
Copy !req
865. in your possession
Copy !req
866. will be erased.
Copy !req
867. You have my word.
Copy !req
868. Also,
Copy !req
869. I need the Vixens.
Copy !req
870. For Retro Night.
Copy !req
871. You're a stone-cold bitch,
Copy !req
872. Betty Cooper.
Copy !req
873. I don't have red hair,
Copy !req
874. nor broad shoulders,
Copy !req
875. or a blonde ponytail,
Copy !req
876. for that matter.
Copy !req
877. Do you wanna talk?
Copy !req
878. You were ready to walk away
Copy !req
879. from your dad.
Copy !req
880. And now, you're crusading
Copy !req
881. for his freedom.
Copy !req
882. What changed?
Copy !req
883. He did.
Copy !req
884. He made an effort.
Copy !req
885. Took another swing
Copy !req
886. at being a good dad.
Copy !req
887. But don't you think
Copy !req
888. some people can't change?
Copy !req
889. Like, it's just in their DNA
Copy !req
890. to be bad?
Copy !req
891. I'm not gonna presume
Copy !req
892. to know what lies
Copy !req
893. in your father's heart.
Copy !req
894. But Archie's dad almost died.
Copy !req
895. And my dad is going away
Copy !req
896. for 20 years.
Copy !req
897. If there's even
Copy !req
898. a.0001% chance
Copy !req
899. - that your dad is trying—
Copy !req
900. - I get it.
Copy !req
901. Thank you, Jughead.
Copy !req
902. Sheriff, I believe
Copy !req
903. the man who shot my dad
Copy !req
904. is the same person
Copy !req
905. that killed Ms. Grundy.
Copy !req
906. And I think I know
Copy !req
907. who it is.
Copy !req
908. You know, that's, uh...
Copy !req
909. That's quite
Copy !req
910. a statement, Archie.
Copy !req
911. Ms. Grundy had
Copy !req
912. an abusive ex-husband.
Copy !req
913. She moved to Riverdale
Copy !req
914. to get away from him.
Copy !req
915. She kept a gun in her car
Copy !req
916. in case he'd ever come back.
Copy !req
917. How do you know all this?
Copy !req
918. Because she and I were...
Copy !req
919. We were close.
Copy !req
920. And I'm thinking...
Copy !req
921. He found out about me.
Copy !req
922. Ms. Grundy was killed
Copy !req
923. with a cello bow.
Copy !req
924. I gave her one
Copy !req
925. before she left Riverdale.
Copy !req
926. I'm betting
Copy !req
927. it's the murder weapon.
Copy !req
928. Can't you see,
Copy !req
929. he's sending me a message.
Copy !req
930. Your theory's wrong, Archie.
Copy !req
931. My counterparts in Greendale
Copy !req
932. already brought in her ex.
Copy !req
933. And he has an airtight alibi.
Copy !req
934. Maybe everyone's right.
Copy !req
935. Maybe I am going crazy.
Copy !req
936. Hey, has Betty called?
Copy !req
937. Not yet. Let's pray Cheryl
Copy !req
938. comes through for them.
Copy !req
939. Ms. Blossom, you may
Copy !req
940. proceed with your statement.
Copy !req
941. Your Honor, I speak for myself
Copy !req
942. and my mother when I say
Copy !req
943. we forgive FP Jones
Copy !req
944. for the part he played
Copy !req
945. in covering up
Copy !req
946. my brother's murder,
Copy !req
947. and we humbly
Copy !req
948. ask the court for leniency.
Copy !req
949. FP's guilt has been blown
Copy !req
950. out of proportion
Copy !req
951. to satiate what
Copy !req
952. my father's suicide
Copy !req
953. denied us.
Copy !req
954. Closure.
Copy !req
955. As much as I sympathize,
Copy !req
956. I can't ignore the quality
Copy !req
957. of Mr. Jones' crimes.
Copy !req
958. There were no
Copy !req
959. extenuating circumstances.
Copy !req
960. My father threatened him.
Copy !req
961. I overheard them talking
Copy !req
962. in Daddy's study.
Copy !req
963. Daddy said he would hurt
Copy !req
964. Jughead if FP didn't comply.
Copy !req
965. Is that extenuating enough?
Copy !req
966. In light of
Copy !req
967. these revelations,
Copy !req
968. I suggest that we take
Copy !req
969. a step back
Copy !req
970. and reevaluate certain
Copy !req
971. aspects of the case.
Copy !req
972. At which time, we will
Copy !req
973. revisit the sentencing.
Copy !req
974. Adjourned.
Copy !req
975. Is that a win?
Copy !req
976. It's a delay. So, yeah.
Copy !req
977. No one's here.
Copy !req
978. No one's coming.
Copy !req
979. It's still early, okay?
Copy !req
980. Mom.
Copy !req
981. What, did you come to gloat?
Copy !req
982. Oh, don't be so cynical,
Copy !req
983. Elizabeth.
Copy !req
984. I came to write my next story
Copy !req
985. over one last root beer float.
Copy !req
986. I'm calling it
Copy !req
987. "Requiem for Pop's."
Copy !req
988. Can I get a quote, dear?
Copy !req
989. You're a fiend, Mother,
Copy !req
990. but this is one obituary
Copy !req
991. that you're not gonna write.
Copy !req
992. All right, two strawberries,
Copy !req
993. one vanilla,
Copy !req
994. and one chocolate
Copy !req
995. with extra malt.
Copy !req
996. Why the hell did you broadcast
Copy !req
997. all over social media that
Copy !req
998. the Pussycats would be doing
Copy !req
999. a free concert here tonight?
Copy !req
1000. I knew that if I asked you,
Copy !req
1001. you would have said—
Copy !req
1002. - No!
Copy !req
1003. If my mom even hears
Copy !req
1004. that I set foot in this place—
Copy !req
1005. Josie, you care about
Copy !req
1006. this place, I know you do.
Copy !req
1007. I see you in here all the time.
Copy !req
1008. Betty, even if I wanted
Copy !req
1009. to help, I'm down a cat.
Copy !req
1010. - Valerie has norovirus—
Copy !req
1011. - I don't mind stepping in.
Copy !req
1012. After all, if you
Copy !req
1013. can be a River Vixen,
Copy !req
1014. Josie, I can be a Pussycat.
Copy !req
1015. As long as it's a cover,
Copy !req
1016. I'm sure I'll know the lyrics.
Copy !req
1017. I mean, you do love
Copy !req
1018. your cheese fries, Josie...
Copy !req
1019. Fine. Fine.
Copy !req
1020. My milkshake brings
Copy !req
1021. All the boys to the yard
Copy !req
1022. And they're like
Copy !req
1023. It's better than yours
Copy !req
1024. Damn right
Copy !req
1025. It's better than yours
Copy !req
1026. I can teach you
Copy !req
1027. But I have to charge
Copy !req
1028. My milkshake brings
Copy !req
1029. All the boys to the yard
Copy !req
1030. And they're like
Copy !req
1031. It's better than yours
Copy !req
1032. Damn right
Copy !req
1033. It's better than yours
Copy !req
1034. I can teach you
Copy !req
1035. But I have to charge
Copy !req
1036. The thing that makes me
Copy !req
1037. The way I wind
Copy !req
1038. I think it's time
Copy !req
1039. Hey there, Daddy-O.
Copy !req
1040. - You made it.
Copy !req
1041. You feeling okay?
Copy !req
1042. Yeah. Just taking deep breaths.
Copy !req
1043. I'm proud of you.
Copy !req
1044. Come on, you take a booth.
Copy !req
1045. And I'll get you a shake.
Copy !req
1046. We're not here to fight,
Copy !req
1047. we're here to be supportive.
Copy !req
1048. Dad, Mom.
Copy !req
1049. I've been thinking.
Copy !req
1050. Tonight is a new beginning
Copy !req
1051. for Pop's. And...
Copy !req
1052. Maybe it can be for us, too.
Copy !req
1053. That's up to you, mija.
Copy !req
1054. If that's what you want.
Copy !req
1055. Let's try. But, you guys,
Copy !req
1056. total transparency, okay?
Copy !req
1057. From now on.
Copy !req
1058. In the spirit of that,
Copy !req
1059. I propose that
Copy !req
1060. Lodge Industries make
Copy !req
1061. a charitable contribution.
Copy !req
1062. Relax, Betty.
Copy !req
1063. I'm sure they're
Copy !req
1064. just here to enjoy
Copy !req
1065. Pop's world-class burgers
Copy !req
1066. and service.
Copy !req
1067. Just like me.
Copy !req
1068. Ugh, you two
Copy !req
1069. are like chimps in captivity,
Copy !req
1070. grooming and
Copy !req
1071. picking lice off each other.
Copy !req
1072. Mark this day in your diary.
Copy !req
1073. I lied under oath for you.
Copy !req
1074. And thank God
Copy !req
1075. I'm quick on my feet.
Copy !req
1076. Cheryl,
Copy !req
1077. thank you.
Copy !req
1078. Honor your promise to me.
Copy !req
1079. Hi, Midge, Moose.
Copy !req
1080. I've got your jingle-jangle.
Copy !req
1081. I gotta put her
Copy !req
1082. on the spot.
Copy !req
1083. It's thanks to this
Copy !req
1084. young lady here
Copy !req
1085. that Pop's gets to stay open
Copy !req
1086. tonight, tomorrow...
Copy !req
1087. As long as you folks
Copy !req
1088. keep coming.
Copy !req
1089. Thanks, also,
Copy !req
1090. to the Lodge family
Copy !req
1091. for a donation they just made
Copy !req
1092. that gives us a little cushion
Copy !req
1093. to weather any storm
Copy !req
1094. that might come up.
Copy !req
1095. I didn't know we were in
Copy !req
1096. the charity business.
Copy !req
1097. Oh, we're not.
Copy !req
1098. As of five minutes ago,
Copy !req
1099. we, uh, own this diner.
Copy !req
1100. In exchange for silence,
Copy !req
1101. I told Tate he could stay on
Copy !req
1102. as manager.
Copy !req
1103. - Nice to have you back, Hiram.
Copy !req
1104. Hermione, thank you for saying
Copy !req
1105. you wrote that letter.
Copy !req
1106. Veronica never would have
Copy !req
1107. forgiven me for that.
Copy !req
1108. Once again, your loyalty
Copy !req
1109. knows no bounds.
Copy !req
1110. Ronnie, should I introduce
Copy !req
1111. myself to your dad?
Copy !req
1112. You've faced enough dragons
Copy !req
1113. for one night.
Copy !req
1114. Next time, Archiekins.
Copy !req
1115. So, I guess tonight is
Copy !req
1116. a win for the good guys.
Copy !req
1117. A rare win, but, yes.
Copy !req
1118. Thanks to you, Betty.
Copy !req
1119. You okay?
Copy !req
1120. I'm here with you guys.
Copy !req
1121. So, yeah. I think so.
Copy !req
1122. I have a present for you.
Copy !req
1123. The video of Daddy and Jason.
Copy !req
1124. All cued up.
Copy !req
1125. It might bring you peace.
Copy !req
1126. Evening, Mr. and Mrs. Lodge.
Copy !req
1127. You must be Veronica.
Copy !req
1128. I am. Where's Smithers?
Copy !req
1129. Oh, he didn't tell you?
Copy !req
1130. His mother fell ill
Copy !req
1131. so he went home overseas
Copy !req
1132. to care for her.
Copy !req
1133. Did he leave
Copy !req
1134. a forwarding address?
Copy !req
1135. I'll try to
Copy !req
1136. track one down, sir.
Copy !req
1137. Thank you, Andre.
Copy !req
1138. Hello?
Copy !req
1139. You went to see Penny Peabody?
Copy !req
1140. You asked her for help?
Copy !req
1141. Dad, hey...
Copy !req
1142. Yeah, well,
Copy !req
1143. we didn't have a choice.
Copy !req
1144. Why, is something wrong?
Copy !req
1145. Did you pay her?
Copy !req
1146. No, she said it was a favor.
Copy !req
1147. Jughead, listen to me.
Copy !req
1148. Do not contact her again.
Copy !req
1149. If she reaches out,
Copy !req
1150. don't respond.
Copy !req
1151. You do not want to be in bed
Copy !req
1152. with the Snake Charmer.
Copy !req
1153. Why? Dad—
Copy !req
1154. You do know that
Copy !req
1155. several drug deals
Copy !req
1156. went down here tonight.
Copy !req
1157. What?
Copy !req
1158. And if you think
Copy !req
1159. that Hiram Lodge,
Copy !req
1160. Riverdale's answer to Scarface,
Copy !req
1161. helped Pop Tate
Copy !req
1162. for altruistic reasons,
Copy !req
1163. I have a bridge to sell you.
Copy !req
1164. Mom...
Copy !req
1165. The Serpents have now
Copy !req
1166. officially crossed the tracks
Copy !req
1167. and have a toehold
Copy !req
1168. on the north side.
Copy !req
1169. So, congratulations, Betty.
Copy !req
1170. You're almost
Copy !req
1171. single-handedly responsible
Copy !req
1172. for giving crime
Copy !req
1173. a haven in Riverdale.
Copy !req
1174. And far from the glow
Copy !req
1175. of Pop's neon sign,
Copy !req
1176. on Sweetwater Bridge,
Copy !req
1177. Archie Andrews had arranged
Copy !req
1178. a secret rendezvous
Copy !req
1179. with Dilton Doiley.
Copy !req
1180. Hey, Dilton.
Copy !req
1181. Hey, Archie.
Copy !req
1182. Got what you asked for.
Copy !req
1183. I'm not crazy.
Copy !req
1184. The guy's still out there.
Copy !req
1185. It's just for protection.
Copy !req
1186. Sure, Archie.
Copy !req
1187. Whatever you say.
Copy !req
1188. That night,
Copy !req
1189. for the first time
Copy !req
1190. in weeks,
Copy !req
1191. Archie would sleep.
Copy !req
1192. Before waking up
Copy !req
1193. the next morning
Copy !req
1194. to a living nightmare.
Copy !req
1195. Bottoms up.
Copy !req
1196. Oh, wait, wait.
Copy !req
1197. I think there's
Copy !req
1198. somebody out there.
Copy !req
1199. No, don't. He'll see us.
Copy !req
