98. The Black Hood, the Red Circle,Copy !req

103. Elizabeth? To us?Copy !req
104. Polly asked for my help, Mom.Copy !req
105. To run away, and you agreed?Copy !req
106. We know where she is.Copy !req
107. And frankly, thank GodCopy !req
108. she's out of RiverdaleCopy !req
109. and away from that psycho.Copy !req
110. And you think thatCopy !req
111. that guarantees her safety?Copy !req
112. - Polly was scared.Copy !req
113. - And you don't think that I am?Copy !req
114. I'm terrified.Copy !req
115. Every time that you walkCopy !req
116. out that door.Copy !req
117. Every time that I call you,Copy !req
118. and you don't pick upCopy !req
119. the phone...Copy !req
120. My heart stops.Copy !req
121. But how am I supposed toCopy !req
122. protect you two girls?Copy !req
123. Right, when you goCopy !req
124. and do this.Copy !req
125. And then you tryCopy !req
126. to make me the monster.Copy !req
127. There's only oneCopy !req
128. of you, but we are legion.Copy !req
129. We're called the Red Circle.Copy !req
130. So, what did you think,Copy !req
131. that I wouldn't see it?Copy !req
132. Dad, I was pissed off.Copy !req
133. We wereCopy !req
134. all pretty pissed off.Copy !req
135. We were trying to sendCopy !req
136. a message, scareCopy !req
137. the Black Hood.Copy !req
138. It's more likely you'llCopy !req
139. antagonize this maniacCopy !req
140. and become a target yourself.Copy !req
141. Take it down right now,Copy !req
142. while I can see.Copy !req
143. I already did,Copy !req
144. the original post,Copy !req
145. but people keep sharing it.Copy !req
146. Good grief, Archie.Copy !req
147. My mom's spiraling.Copy !req
148. Do you think you canCopy !req
149. come over during lunch...Copy !req
150. Betty, I have to try andCopy !req
151. at least maintain a semblanceCopy !req
152. of being a student here.Copy !req
153. Crap.Copy !req
154. Uh, I gotta go, Betty, okay.Copy !req
155. Hey, I'll talk to you later.Copy !req
156. Hey. I'm guessing we're notCopy !req
157. watching funny cat videos.Copy !req
158. Check this out.Copy !req
159. Some sick-in-the-headCopy !req
160. Northsider posted a crazy-assCopy !req
161. video,Copy !req
162. - and we were just talking—Copy !req
163. - About what?Copy !req
164. Fogarty wants to earnCopy !req
165. his Serpent stripes.Copy !req
166. I say bring us the headCopy !req
167. of that Northsider,Copy !req
168. and you're in.Copy !req

171. What, Jones?Copy !req
172. I know this guy,Copy !req
173. he's a milquetoast.Copy !req
174. He's a football player.Copy !req
175. It's kind of a lame target,Copy !req
176. is all I'm saying.Copy !req
177. You wanna prove something?Copy !req
178. Why don't youCopy !req
179. go after the Black Hood?Copy !req
180. And why would we do that?Copy !req
181. The Black Hood's targetingCopy !req
182. Northsiders,Copy !req
183. who do nothing but blameCopy !req
184. the Southside for everythingCopy !req
185. that's wrong with this town.Copy !req
186. And we're sick of it.Copy !req
187. The Black Hood's doingCopy !req
188. our work for us.Copy !req
189. He's a hero.Copy !req
190. Black Hood.Copy !req
191. Black Hood.Copy !req
192. We're called the Red CircleCopy !req
193. and we're coming for you.Copy !req
194. We will find you.Copy !req
195. We will hunt you.Copy !req
196. We will end you.Copy !req
197. Black Hood.Copy !req
198. My parents want meCopy !req
199. to break up with you.Copy !req
200. They basically think you'reCopy !req
201. the teen American Psycho.Copy !req
202. Since when do you careCopy !req
203. about what your parents think?Copy !req
204. I don't, except when I happenCopy !req
205. to agree with them.Copy !req
206. Can't you just support meCopy !req
207. on this, Ronnie?Copy !req
208. On what?Copy !req
209. Is this part of someCopy !req
210. master plan? 'Cause if it is,Copy !req
211. please enlighten me.Copy !req
212. You know,Copy !req
213. to be honest,Copy !req
214. I don't see why yourCopy !req
215. dad's got such a problemCopy !req
216. with it, Veronica.Copy !req
217. He pretty much gave meCopy !req
218. the idea. In his study, heCopy !req
219. basically told me I should—Copy !req
220. Line up a bunch of semi-nakedCopy !req
221. boys straight out ofCopy !req
222. Lord of the FliesCopy !req
223. put them in red ski masksCopy !req
224. and deliver someCopy !req
225. Unabomber-like manifesto?Copy !req
226. Is that what heCopy !req
227. said you should do?Copy !req
228. Fight fire with fire.Copy !req
229. Fight terror with terror.Copy !req
230. That's what he said.Copy !req
231. Mr. ArchieCopy !req
232. Andrews, please reportCopy !req
233. to the principal's office.Copy !req
234. "We will find you.Copy !req
235. We will hunt you.Copy !req
236. And we will end you."Copy !req
237. These are your sentiments,Copy !req
238. Mr. Andrews.Copy !req
239. And they are hardly comforting.Copy !req
240. Principal Weatherbee,Copy !req
241. you have my word,Copy !req
242. there's only one personCopy !req
243. who should be scaredCopy !req
244. by that video.Copy !req
245. You're off the football team,Copy !req
246. Mr. Andrews,Copy !req
247. effective immediately.Copy !req
248. In fact,Copy !req
249. there is no football team.Copy !req
250. Not until this Red CircleCopy !req
251. insanity is over.Copy !req
252. If, by week's end,Copy !req
253. you haven't writtenCopy !req
254. a signed letterCopy !req
255. apologizing to the entireCopy !req
256. Riverdale High communityCopy !req
257. and disbanding the Red Circle,Copy !req
258. your suspension will begin,Copy !req
259. and will continue untilCopy !req
260. you've complied.Copy !req
261. Care to re-thinkCopy !req
262. your position?Copy !req
263. It's a crazy time, sir.Copy !req
264. We all have to doCopy !req
265. what we think is right.Copy !req
266. Betty, okay.Copy !req
267. So, telling my dad about meCopy !req
268. cruising the woods?Copy !req
269. Not cool.Copy !req
270. He even told my momCopy !req
271. about it.Copy !req
272. Also, I've re-upped myCopy !req
273. online membership toCopy !req
274. redstatemeat.com,Copy !req
275. so there'll be noCopy !req
276. cruising for the foreseeable.Copy !req
277. Betty? What? What is it?Copy !req
278. I was going throughCopy !req
279. the Blue and Gold's mail...Copy !req
280. And I got a letterCopy !req
281. from the Black Hood killer...Copy !req
282. He says he's doing it for me.Copy !req
283. "Betty, your words at theCopy !req
284. Jubilee inspired me.Copy !req
285. The town's sinners must showCopy !req
286. their contrition.Copy !req
287. If not, there will beCopy !req
288. more suffering and bloodshed.Copy !req
289. Enclosed is a cipher.Copy !req
290. It details where I willCopy !req
291. punish the next sinner.Copy !req
292. It is a test.Copy !req
293. Only you may solve it, Betty."Copy !req
294. My speech... Inspired him.Copy !req
295. That stupid speech I wrote.Copy !req
296. So the Black HoodCopy !req
297. was at the Jubilee.Copy !req
298. The entire town was there.Copy !req
299. We have to give thisCopy !req
300. to my dad.Copy !req
301. The cipher, yeah, sure,Copy !req
302. but not the letter,Copy !req
303. This is just...Copy !req
304. For me. We can't tellCopy !req
305. anyone about it.Copy !req
306. It's evidence.Copy !req
307. Kevin, if we give this letterCopy !req
308. to your dad,Copy !req
309. he will tell my mom, andCopy !req
310. she will make damn sureCopy !req
311. I'm nowhere near this.Copy !req
312. - Good.Copy !req
313. - No.Copy !req
314. This is a test.Copy !req
315. He said soCopy !req
316. himself. What if...Copy !req
317. The start of the testCopy !req
318. is to see what I doCopy !req
319. with the letter?Copy !req
320. Do I share it? Or not?Copy !req
321. Am I strong?Copy !req
322. Or am I weak?Copy !req
323. Am I... Worthy?Copy !req
324. He's a psychopath, Betty,Copy !req
325. and you are in high school,Copy !req
326. not the FBI.Copy !req
327. Isn't it better for peopleCopy !req
328. to be focusing on the cipher,Copy !req
329. rather than the letter?Copy !req
330. How would that even happen?Copy !req
331. Mom, I'm so scared.Copy !req
332. I didn't know what to doCopy !req
333. or who to call.Copy !req
334. Oh, baby, please tell meCopy !req
335. what's going onCopy !req
336. so I can make it better.Copy !req
337. I got this envelopeCopy !req
338. at the Blue and Gold.Copy !req
339. Not another letterCopy !req
340. from the Black Hood.Copy !req
341. No, not a letter.Copy !req
342. Was there anything elseCopy !req
343. in the envelope? A note?Copy !req
344. Not according to Betty.Copy !req
345. Why a code this time,Copy !req
346. and not another letter?Copy !req
347. And why did he send it toCopy !req
348. your daughter and not you?Copy !req
349. Well, it's obvious, Sheriff.Copy !req
350. He needs a platformCopy !req
351. to grandstand on,Copy !req
352. and he's terrified of me.Copy !req
353. Well, there's a cryptologistCopy !req
354. over in Centerville.Copy !req
355. I'll get it over to him.Copy !req
356. - In the meantime—Copy !req
357. - I've already published it,Copy !req
358. Sheriff.Copy !req
359. The entire townCopy !req
360. should be tryingCopy !req
361. to crack this code.Copy !req
362. Don't you think?Copy !req
363. Damn it, Andrews.Copy !req
364. I told youCopy !req
365. we shouldn't haveCopy !req
366. made that video.Copy !req
367. And now Weatherbee'sCopy !req
368. suspended the team?Copy !req
369. What if he comes afterCopy !req
370. us next?Copy !req
371. That's why you're wearingCopy !req
372. hoods, Reggie, so that allCopy !req
373. the heat falls on me.Copy !req
374. But it's not.Copy !req
375. It's falling on all of us.Copy !req
376. So please, bro,Copy !req
377. sign the letter.Copy !req
378. No.Copy !req
379. We disband the circle now,Copy !req
380. what message does thatCopy !req
381. show the Black Hood?Copy !req
382. That we're weak, helpless.Copy !req
383. No, we wanna force his hand.Copy !req
384. By doing what exactly?Copy !req
385. By going to his home turf,Copy !req
386. the Southside.Copy !req
387. What? Are you insane?Copy !req
388. No, I've gone over this.Copy !req
389. Mrs. Cooper is convincedCopy !req
390. the Black Hood is a SouthsiderCopy !req
391. with an axe to grind,Copy !req
392. which makes senseCopy !req
393. when you think about the peopleCopy !req
394. he's attackedCopy !req
395. My dad. A Northsider.Copy !req
396. Moose and MidgeCopy !req
397. both Northside kids.Copy !req
398. - Grundy was in Greendale.Copy !req
399. - Yeah, But before that,Copy !req
400. she taught here, Doiley.Copy !req
401. Everyone has seen our videoCopy !req
402. and is riled up as hell, right?Copy !req
403. We can only assumeCopy !req
404. the Black Hood is, too.Copy !req
405. If there's even a chance thatCopy !req
406. he's a Southsider,Copy !req
407. us going thereCopy !req
408. into his territory,Copy !req
409. making our presence known,Copy !req
410. could draw him out.Copy !req
411. And the huntersCopy !req
412. become the hunted.Copy !req
413. That's one way to find him.Copy !req
414. Nope, I'm done.Copy !req
415. We're done.Copy !req
416. Come on, guysCopy !req
417. And then there was one.Copy !req
418. Which is what youCopy !req
419. wanted, right?Copy !req
420. You and theCopy !req
421. Black Hood,Copy !req
422. mano a mano,Copy !req
423. to the death.Copy !req
424. What the hell are youCopy !req
425. talking about,Copy !req
426. Doiley?Copy !req
427. I know you have a certain itemCopy !req
428. in your possession.Copy !req
429. The Red Circle wasCopy !req
430. just your way to drawCopy !req
431. the Black Hood out.Copy !req
432. And now you wanna goCopy !req
433. into his territory.Copy !req
434. Maybe. Yeah.Copy !req
435. You're gonna need a few things.Copy !req
436. There's a place,Copy !req
437. on the edge of town,Copy !req
438. they can help.Copy !req
439. Go after dark.Copy !req
440. Daddy?Copy !req
441. When Archie cameCopy !req
442. into this room...Copy !req
443. Yeah.Copy !req
444. What did you guys talk about?Copy !req
445. Don't remember, to be honest.Copy !req
446. Why do you ask?Copy !req
447. I was just thinking.Copy !req
448. You know, one of the thingsCopy !req
449. I love about Archie isCopy !req
450. how earnest he is.Copy !req
451. Not in a bad way,Copy !req
452. more in an innocentCopy !req
453. sort of way.Copy !req
454. Trusting. Kind.Copy !req
455. Of course, thatCopy !req
456. simplicity also makes him...Copy !req
457. Impressionable.Copy !req
458. Vulnerable toCopy !req
459. certain forms of attack.Copy !req
460. What are you going on about?Copy !req
461. Manipulation.Copy !req
462. If someone were to,Copy !req
463. say, pour poisonCopy !req
464. into one of hisCopy !req
465. cute-as-a-button ears...Copy !req
466. Some dark notion mightCopy !req
467. take shape in his mind.Copy !req
468. Say... The Red Circle.Copy !req
469. - If you're suggesting—Copy !req
470. - I'm not suggesting anything,Copy !req
471. Daddy.Copy !req
472. I'm asking, what didCopy !req
473. you and my boyfriendCopy !req
474. talk about?Copy !req
475. And I've already told youCopy !req
476. I don't remember.Copy !req
477. Now, if you'll excuse me,Copy !req
478. the Swiss banksCopy !req
479. are about to close,Copy !req
480. and I have a callCopy !req
481. with the LodgeCopy !req
482. Charitable Trust.Copy !req
483. Trust.Copy !req
484. Right. Got it.Copy !req
485. Have a nice call, Daddy.Copy !req
486. So... What are you reading?Copy !req
487. Beware the Zodiac.Copy !req
488. It's decent, though I preferCopy !req
489. Robert Graysmith'sCopy !req
490. definitive booksCopy !req
491. - on the subject.Copy !req
492. Are you gonna get that?Copy !req
493. I can call her back later.Copy !req
494. Jones, Jones, Jones.Copy !req
495. You disappoint me.Copy !req
496. If serial killers are your jam,Copy !req
497. might I suggest Ted Bundy,Copy !req
498. Albert Fish,Copy !req
499. Aileen Wuornos.Copy !req
500. They don't fit the profile.Copy !req
501. Right. Unlike mostCopy !req
502. serial killers, our guyCopy !req
503. wears a mask.Copy !req
504. Well, a hood, when he kills.Copy !req
505. Suggests someoneCopy !req
506. consumed with self-loathing.Copy !req
507. Conversely, he sends lettersCopy !req
508. and cryptos to the press.Copy !req
509. Do you thinkCopy !req
510. he's narcissisticCopy !req
511. or a Batman villain?Copy !req
512. I'm a true crime junkie.Copy !req
513. True crime is my crack.Copy !req
514. I figured.Copy !req
515. And that's why I'mCopy !req
516. seeking you out.Copy !req
517. The Register took a breakCopy !req
518. from bashing the SouthsideCopy !req
519. to postCopy !req
520. the Black Hood's cipher.Copy !req
521. You wanna help me crack it?Copy !req
522. Sure.Copy !req
523. Hey, I was justCopy !req
524. on my way out.Copy !req
525. What's up?Copy !req
526. - Okay.Copy !req
527. - There.Copy !req
528. That's my wayCopy !req
529. of apologizing to youCopy !req
530. for raining on your Red CircleCopy !req
531. parade earlier today.Copy !req
532. I wanna support youCopy !req
533. and your comely crew,Copy !req
534. even at the riskCopy !req
535. of enraging my parents.Copy !req
536. Especially my father.Copy !req
537. Which is just what he deservesCopy !req
538. after playingCopy !req
539. mind games with you.Copy !req
540. Ronnie, I really gotta go,Copy !req
541. and anyway, it's too late.Copy !req
542. The Red Circle fell apartCopy !req
543. this morning.Copy !req
544. Wait, what? It's over? Already?Copy !req
545. For the other guys, yeah,Copy !req
546. but it's fine. This isCopy !req
547. my battle. No oneCopy !req
548. else needs to fight it.Copy !req
549. No, no, no.Copy !req
550. If it's yours,Copy !req
551. then it's mine, too.Copy !req
552. And it can't just be youCopy !req
553. against an armed madman.Copy !req
554. No, Riverdale needs theCopy !req
555. Red Circle to expand,Copy !req
556. not contract.Copy !req
557. - Yeah. But the guys—Copy !req
558. - Are spineless cowards,Copy !req
559. clearly.Copy !req
560. Lucky for you, I'm not.Copy !req
561. Hi. I'm hoping to getCopy !req
562. a few things. I have a list.Copy !req
563. You got ID?Copy !req
564. Yeah.Copy !req
565. I'll be paying cashCopy !req
566. for those items, too.Copy !req
567. Just be a sec.Copy !req
568. Ammo, holster, Kevlar vest.Copy !req
569. You, uh... You going hunting?Copy !req
570. Yeah, yes.Copy !req
571. That's exactly what I'm doing.Copy !req
572. Betty? What time is it?Copy !req
573. 7:15. I wantedCopy !req
574. to catch you before school.Copy !req
575. I'm sorry.Copy !req
576. I have morning breath.Copy !req
577. You want coffee or something?Copy !req
578. No, I'm actually on my wayCopy !req
579. to the library.Copy !req
580. I asked Ms. Paroo to set asideCopy !req
581. all the books she has aboutCopy !req
582. cryptograms and ciphers.Copy !req
583. I thought it might help usCopy !req
584. crack the Black Hood's code.Copy !req
585. Which I'm hoping isCopy !req
586. something we can doCopy !req
587. together, Jug.Copy !req
588. Actually, funny enough,Copy !req
589. Toni of all people and I,Copy !req
590. we startedCopy !req
591. working on that yesterdayCopy !req
592. at the Red and Black.Copy !req
593. I can show youCopy !req
594. what we've got so far,Copy !req
595. if you want.Copy !req
596. Toni, because let me guess...Copy !req
597. She loves serial killers.Copy !req
598. She does have an affinityCopy !req
599. for the darker sideCopy !req
600. of things, yeah.Copy !req
601. In that case, why don't weCopy !req
602. all work on it together?Copy !req
603. You, me, Toni,Copy !req
604. Kevin.Copy !req
605. - Kevin?Copy !req
606. - Yeah, it'll be like a littleCopy !req
607. code-breaking party.Copy !req
608. So fun! You can host.Copy !req
609. There you are.Copy !req
610. I have a surprise for you.Copy !req
611. It meant burningCopy !req
612. the midnight oilCopy !req
613. and calling in a few favors,Copy !req
614. - but... Ta-da.Copy !req
615. - Ronnie, you can't wear that.Copy !req
616. Are you sayingCopy !req
617. I'm not rocking thisCopy !req
618. scoop-neck look?Copy !req
619. No, I'm saying you can'tCopy !req
620. walk around with a friggin'Copy !req
621. target on your chest.Copy !req
622. You'll stick outCopy !req
623. like a sore thumb.Copy !req
624. Oh, Archie, it's adorableCopy !req
625. when you underestimate me.Copy !req
626. Come, come.Copy !req
627. Oh, my God.Copy !req
628. Let WeatherbeeCopy !req
629. do his worst.Copy !req
630. The Red Circle is no longerCopy !req
631. a fringe band of radicals,Copy !req
632. it's a movementCopy !req
633. with style and panache.Copy !req
634. These symbols lookCopy !req
635. so familiar to me.Copy !req
636. It's like I've seenCopy !req
637. them beforeCopy !req
638. and it's driving me crazyCopy !req
639. I can't figure out where.Copy !req
640. Maybe if you loosenedCopy !req
641. your ponytail.Copy !req
642. What? That was a joke, guys.Copy !req
643. Betty's ponytail is iconicCopy !req
644. and beyond reproach.Copy !req
645. Kev... It's fine.Copy !req
646. And at thisCopy !req
647. point, I'm willingCopy !req
648. to try anything.Copy !req
649. Per Mrs. Paroo's books,Copy !req
650. I'm looking for common letterCopy !req
651. associations likeCopy !req
652. T-H, A-N, I-N-G.Copy !req
653. I'm looking for doubles.Copy !req
654. Double I and four-letterCopy !req
655. words like kill.Copy !req
656. - That's morbid.Copy !req
657. - We don't know ifCopy !req
658. this thing's even in English.Copy !req
659. Guys, I mean,Copy !req
660. this could be an angram.Copy !req
661. I'm literally on theCopy !req
662. top of my brain...Copy !req
663. All right. Let's goCopy !req
664. back to the basics.Copy !req
665. What do we know aboutCopy !req
666. this guy? Who is he?Copy !req
667. He's a white male, in his 40s.Copy !req
668. Like almostCopy !req
669. every serial killer ever.Copy !req
670. No, I mean like why...Copy !req
671. Why is he killing people?Copy !req
672. Or at least, why now?Copy !req
673. We know the Hood's obsessedCopy !req
674. with cleansing the town ofCopy !req
675. sinners and hypocrites, right?Copy !req
676. And he seems to be attackingCopy !req
677. anyone with tiesCopy !req
678. to the Northside.Copy !req
679. Here we goCopy !req
680. with the fake news again.Copy !req
681. You NorthsidersCopy !req
682. and your privilege.Copy !req
683. All you do is demonizeCopy !req
684. the SouthsideCopy !req
685. so of course you thinkCopy !req
686. the Black Hood's from there.Copy !req
687. It's not demonizing, Toni.Copy !req
688. It's stating facts.Copy !req
689. There's way more drugsCopy !req
690. and gangs and—Copy !req
691. The drugs you mean whichCopy !req
692. were sold primarilyCopy !req
693. to Northside crackheads?Copy !req
694. And what aboutCopy !req
695. the Northside Neo-Nazis?Copy !req
696. The Red Circle?Copy !req
697. The Red Psychos,Copy !req
698. you mean.Copy !req
699. Hell, Betty, I'm surprisedCopy !req
700. you haven't just come outCopy !req
701. and said it yet.Copy !req
702. Said what?Copy !req
703. That you thinkCopy !req
704. the Black Hood's a Serpent.Copy !req
705. We all know howCopy !req
706. much you hate us.Copy !req
707. - Okay, Toni—Copy !req
708. - I don't hate the Serpents.Copy !req
709. Oh, yeah? Then why is itCopy !req
710. that your boyfriend hereCopy !req
711. lies about the factCopy !req
712. that he sits with us at lunch?Copy !req
713. I'm gonna go.Copy !req
714. Yeah, you know what?Copy !req
715. I'm gonna getCopy !req
716. outta here, too.Copy !req
717. Okay. I can walk you home.Copy !req
718. Or you can walk me home.Copy !req
719. Um, bye, guys.Copy !req
720. Listen, Betty, I sitCopy !req
721. with the Serpents purelyCopy !req
722. for reasons of survival.Copy !req
723. It's okay, Jug, let's just keepCopy !req
724. working on the cipher, okay?Copy !req
725. The clock's ticking.Copy !req
726. What clock? I mean,Copy !req
727. this could be hisCopy !req
728. laundry list.Copy !req
729. Or his kill list.Copy !req
730. Hey! What the hellCopy !req
731. are you doing?Copy !req
732. - Back off.Copy !req
733. I'm not here for you.Copy !req
734. - Oh, yeah...Copy !req
735. Then who'sCopy !req
736. this message for, huh?Copy !req
737. Aw, hell, don't tell meCopy !req
738. it's for the Black Hood.Copy !req
739. You believe this guy?Copy !req
740. And people sayCopy !req
741. we're the troublemakers.Copy !req
742. Southside's Serpent country.Copy !req
743. You can't come hereCopy !req
744. and tag our turf.Copy !req
745. So why don't youCopy !req
746. get your ass backCopy !req
747. to the NorthsideCopy !req
748. before someoneCopy !req
749. gets hurt?Copy !req
750. Get out of my way,Copy !req
751. or someoneCopy !req
752. will get hurt.Copy !req
753. You just made a big mistake.Copy !req
754. - Who made a mistake?Copy !req
755. Who made a mistake?Copy !req
756. - What the hell?Copy !req
757. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
758. Come on, man!Copy !req
759. - Ow, my neck.Copy !req
760. - We fell asleep.Copy !req
761. How did we fall asleep?Copy !req
762. Exhaustion.Copy !req
763. It's not easy being us.Copy !req
764. Oh, my God, she'sCopy !req
765. gonna kill me.Copy !req
766. I have to go.Copy !req
767. What?Copy !req
768. My mom, she's gonna kill me.Copy !req
769. I have to go, okay.Copy !req
770. I'll call you later.Copy !req
771. Sorry to interrupt, Dr. Phylum,Copy !req
772. but Sheriff Keller and ICopy !req
773. need to see Archie AndrewsCopy !req
774. in the hallway.Copy !req
775. I'm sorry Principal WeatherbeeCopy !req
776. but the T-shirts were my idea,Copy !req
777. not Archie's.Copy !req
778. This is not about T-shirts,Copy !req
779. Miss Lodge, please sit down.Copy !req
780. It's okay, Ronnie.Copy !req
781. There's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
782. Got a tip from a bodega ownerCopy !req
783. on the SouthsideCopy !req
784. who said that aCopy !req
785. Riverdale High School studentCopy !req
786. was waving a gun aroundCopy !req
787. in front of his shop.Copy !req
788. Said it looked likeCopy !req
789. he had red hair.Copy !req
790. I was in my garage last night,Copy !req
791. working on some songs.Copy !req
792. Okay, well, nevertheless,Copy !req
793. given your behavior overCopy !req
794. the last several days,Copy !req
795. we think that it's prudentCopy !req
796. to have a look in your lockerCopy !req
797. for any weapons or contraband.Copy !req
798. Weapons? Don't you needCopy !req
799. a warrant for thatCopy !req
800. or something?Copy !req
801. - No, I do not.Copy !req
802. - Maybe we should call my dad.Copy !req
803. I did. He's informed.Copy !req
804. Open the locker or I will.Copy !req
805. I don't knowCopy !req
806. what you think you'reCopy !req
807. gonna find, Sheriff.Copy !req
808. This is interesting.Copy !req
809. What? There's no gun.Copy !req
810. Where did youCopy !req
811. get this hood?Copy !req
812. I can explain that.Copy !req
813. The hood's not mine,Copy !req
814. it's Reggie's.Copy !req
815. He came by as a joke,Copy !req
816. wearing it, trying toCopy !req
817. scare me, Dad.Copy !req
818. I don't know what to say.Copy !req
819. I'm at a loss, Archie.Copy !req
820. Keller and Weatherbee, theyCopy !req
821. think you're a threat, so theyCopy !req
822. bar you from school property,Copy !req
823. and I can't tell themCopy !req
824. any different.Copy !req
825. I was shot.Copy !req
826. The man who shot me isCopy !req
827. still out there,Copy !req
828. playing some kind of weirdCopy !req
829. cat-and-mouse gameCopy !req
830. with this town.Copy !req
831. And he scares me.Copy !req
832. But not as much asCopy !req
833. you do right now.Copy !req
834. Because I have no ideaCopy !req
835. what is going on in your mind.Copy !req
836. I don't know whatCopy !req
837. you're gonna do next.Copy !req
838. Wait, Dad, come on.Copy !req
839. Can we talk about this?Copy !req
840. Yeah, when I get backCopy !req
841. from the Town HallCopy !req
842. we can talk about this.Copy !req
843. If you're readyCopy !req
844. to be honest with me,Copy !req
845. and let me back in.Copy !req
846. Nice T-shirt.Copy !req
847. Will you still be wearing itCopy !req
848. when Archie's arrestedCopy !req
849. for reckless endangermentCopy !req
850. or something worse?Copy !req
851. Archie would never, Mom.Copy !req
852. He's being railroaded.Copy !req
853. And you can say that,Copy !req
854. with absolute certainty,Copy !req
855. after watching that video?Copy !req
856. Maybe you can.Copy !req
857. Or maybe you're justCopy !req
858. being loyal.Copy !req
859. But let me tell youCopy !req
860. something about loyalty.Copy !req
861. There's nothing moreCopy !req
862. honorable than it.Copy !req
863. Noble, even.Copy !req
864. But blind loyalty?Copy !req
865. That's a stupidCopy !req
866. and dangerous thing.Copy !req
867. I pray that's not the caseCopy !req
868. with you and Archie.Copy !req
869. When you leftCopy !req
870. this morning, you forgotCopy !req
871. some of your books.Copy !req
872. Your notebooks.Copy !req
873. Look, I wasn't snooping,Copy !req
874. believe it or not, but...Copy !req
875. It just fell out.Copy !req
876. What did?Copy !req
877. Your letter,Copy !req
878. from the Black Hood.Copy !req
879. Jug.Copy !req
880. I'm assuming that it cameCopy !req
881. with the cipher.Copy !req
882. Betty, why haven'tCopy !req
883. you told anybody?Copy !req
884. I, I did, I told Kevin.Copy !req
885. Why didn't you tell me?Copy !req
886. Because you've beenCopy !req
887. at Southside High,Copy !req
888. running around withCopy !req
889. the Serpents.Copy !req
890. Betty, I'd been goneCopy !req
891. for two days.Copy !req
892. And yeah, it sucks thatCopy !req
893. we don't go to theCopy !req
894. same school anymore.Copy !req
895. But that's not the reasonCopy !req
896. you're sittingCopy !req
897. on the fact thatCopy !req
898. the Black Hood has sentCopy !req
899. you a letter.Copy !req
900. - So why is it—Copy !req
901. - Because of what it says,Copy !req
902. Jughead!Copy !req
903. Because of whatCopy !req
904. he wrote.Copy !req
905. That I...Copy !req
906. Inspired him.Copy !req
907. I inspired all of this...Copy !req
908. Madness.Copy !req
909. You think peopleCopy !req
910. are gonna blame youCopy !req
911. for this?Copy !req
912. Not people,Copy !req
913. just one person.Copy !req
914. Archie?Copy !req
915. For what?Copy !req
916. For writing a speechCopy !req
917. that this lunaticCopy !req
918. has twisted aroundCopy !req
919. in order to mess with youCopy !req
920. and mess with the town?Copy !req
921. Yeah, Archie'sCopy !req
922. definitely shook, but he knowsCopy !req
923. who the bad guys are,Copy !req
924. and you're notCopy !req
925. one of the bad guys.Copy !req
926. You're Betty Cooper.Copy !req
927. Like Nancy Drew meetsCopy !req
928. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.Copy !req
929. Oh, my God.Copy !req
930. What?Copy !req
931. In his letter, the Black HoodCopy !req
932. said that I'm the only oneCopy !req
933. who could solve the cipherCopy !req
934. like he created itCopy !req
935. specifically for me.Copy !req
936. Maybe using one of myCopy !req
937. touchstones, Jug.Copy !req
938. If I'm right,Copy !req
939. I think I knowCopy !req
940. how to decode this.Copy !req
941. Let's go.Copy !req
942. Archie?Copy !req
943. What the hell is going on?Copy !req
944. Are you okay?Copy !req
945. I need you to getCopy !req
946. something for me, Ronnie.Copy !req
947. At least you were smart enoughCopy !req
948. not to keep it in your locker,Copy !req
949. but a gun, Archie?Copy !req
950. Why? For what?Copy !req
951. To protect myself.Copy !req
952. Against the Black Hood?Copy !req
953. Archie, that video,Copy !req
954. the gun...Copy !req
955. If I'm following you,Copy !req
956. I need to know where,Copy !req
957. I need to know the truth.Copy !req
958. I want him dead, Veronica.Copy !req
959. I want the Black Hood dead,Copy !req
960. and I wantCopy !req
961. to be the one who does it.Copy !req
962. I want to beCopy !req
963. the last thing that he sees.Copy !req
964. Spoken like a true vigilante.Copy !req
965. No, you wantedCopy !req
966. the truth.Copy !req
967. I made that video and showed myCopy !req
968. face so the Black HoodCopy !req
969. would make meCopy !req
970. his next target.Copy !req
971. I went to the SouthsideCopy !req
972. hoping he wouldCopy !req
973. come after me.Copy !req
974. So you find the Black HoodCopy !req
975. and you shoot himCopy !req
976. and then what?Copy !req
977. You go to jail or you miss him,Copy !req
978. and he kills you, Archie.Copy !req
979. It doesn't matterCopy !req
980. what happens to me.Copy !req
981. Yes, it does.Copy !req
982. It matters to me,Copy !req
983. and your dad, Betty, Jughead.Copy !req
984. Meanwhile, like an idiot,Copy !req
985. I'm trying to support youCopy !req
986. by designing T-shirts.Copy !req
987. I didn't ask youCopy !req
988. to do that.Copy !req
989. No, you just asked meCopy !req
990. to fetch your loaded gun.Copy !req
991. And by the way,Copy !req
992. in case you'reCopy !req
993. wondering where it is,Copy !req
994. I threw itCopy !req
995. in Sweetwater River.Copy !req
996. What?Copy !req
997. And you can be madCopy !req
998. at me now, but you'llCopy !req
999. thank me for it later.Copy !req
1000. Wait. Veronica, wait,Copy !req
1001. what if it's...Copy !req
1002. Reggie?Copy !req
1003. Can we come in?Copy !req
1004. ParentsCopy !req
1005. of Riverdale,Copy !req
1006. I've heardCopy !req
1007. your concerns.Copy !req
1008. I share them.Copy !req
1009. As your Mayor,Copy !req
1010. my top priorities are ensuringCopy !req
1011. the safety of our town,Copy !req
1012. and our children.Copy !req
1013. The purpose of thisCopy !req
1014. Town Hall is to answer yourCopy !req
1015. questions.Copy !req
1016. And, if I can, to easeCopy !req
1017. your minds.Copy !req
1018. To what do we oweCopy !req
1019. this unexpected honor?Copy !req
1020. Archie could haveCopy !req
1021. told WeatherbeeCopy !req
1022. the hood was mine,Copy !req
1023. but he didn't.Copy !req
1024. In the Book of Reg,Copy !req
1025. that makes youCopy !req
1026. a top-tier loyal badass.Copy !req
1027. And, uh. We were talkin'Copy !req
1028. today and decidedCopy !req
1029. if you wanna keepCopy !req
1030. the Red Circle going...Copy !req
1031. We're here for you, dude.Copy !req
1032. And not a moment too soon.Copy !req
1033. Archie. Trouble.Copy !req
1034. How stupid are you Northsiders?Copy !req
1035. You really think you canCopy !req
1036. come to my house,Copy !req
1037. stick a gun in my faceCopy !req
1038. in front of my boys,Copy !req
1039. and there wouldn't beCopy !req
1040. any payback?Copy !req
1041. You have crap timing, bro.Copy !req
1042. BulldogsCopy !req
1043. eat Serpents for lunch.Copy !req
1044. We'll see about that.Copy !req
1045. And the more,Copy !req
1046. the merrier.Copy !req
1047. Hey, chill.Copy !req
1048. Veronica, stay here.Copy !req
1049. What? Archie, no...Copy !req
1050. Veronica, after my dad,Copy !req
1051. I made a promiseCopy !req
1052. to protect him and thisCopy !req
1053. house.Copy !req
1054. You stay here.Copy !req
1055. If you wanna fight,Copy !req
1056. we'll fight.Copy !req
1057. - What about your gun?Copy !req
1058. - What about your knife?Copy !req
1059. How about no weapons?Copy !req
1060. If you troglodytes insistCopy !req
1061. on doing this,Copy !req
