Riverdale 2x7

1. Previously on Riverdale...

2. - Bee and Vee, ladies.

3. You're not allowed

4. to go around

5. humiliating girls

6. for any reason—

7. If you wanna ride

8. the Chuck wagon,

9. that can be arranged.

10. If you hadn't come

11. when you did...

12. Where is he?

13. The Pussycats

14. already saved me.

15. Am I supposed to pay you?

16. I do you a favor,

17. one day, you do me a favor.

18. You went to see

19. Penny Peabody?

20. Do not contact her again.

21. If she reaches out,

22. don't respond.

23. The cops are

24. rounding up Ghoulies!

25. You called the cops?

26. You think I knew Keller

27. was gonna be there?

28. - I called Keller.

29. - What the hell, Archie?

30. I found out

31. who killed Jason Blossom.

32. I found out who

33. the Sugarman was.

34. You're next.

35. - Black Hood.

36. "People of Riverdale,

37. I have rid this town of

38. the drug-dealing child-killer

39. and others like him."

40. "Now, you must choose

41. your fate.

42. The next 48 hours

43. will be a test.

44. And I will be watching you

45. very closely."

46. "Show me

47. you are pure of heart,

48. and my work ends.

49. Continue to sin,

50. and I will take up

51. the sword again."

52. I thought I'd finally

53. outsmarted him, Jug,

54. the Black Hood...

55. By having

56. Mr. Phillips arrested,

57. I thought I was saving

58. his life, but instead...

59. Hey, Betty,

60. Phillips didn't deserve what

61. happened to him, but he was...

62. A high school teacher

63. dealing drugs.

64. - I mean, Betty if it—

65. - And how the hell

66. did the Black Hood even get

67. into the Sheriff's Station?

68. I mean, unless he...

69. What?

70. What is it, Poirot?

71. Nothing. No. It's too crazy.

72. Hello.

73. It's Penny Peabody,

74. remember that favor

75. you owe me?

76. I'm calling it in.

77. Uh, no, no.

78. Wait, wait, hold on a minute.

79. I'm hungry,

80. I'll meet you at Pop's.

81. I can't do this favor

82. for you, whatever it is.

83. If I have to pay

84. for you helping my dad—

85. He needs more help,

86. that's why I called.

87. FP got in a little "accident",

88. with some Ghoulies in the

89. prison showers the other day.

90. Oh, my God.

91. He's in the infirmary now.

92. Is he okay?

93. Well, they messed up

94. that pretty face of his.

95. The Ghoulies

96. wanted blood payback

97. for the deal you

98. and that Northsider made

99. with Sheriff Keller, got all

100. their higher-ups locked away.

101. That wasn't...

102. What can we do,

103. to get him out?

104. For that you would need money.

105. You need money.

106. Rich people?

107. Rich people

108. don't sit in jail.

109. Money greases the wheels

110. of justice.

111. I have $18 to my name.

112. Well, then maybe we should

113. think of this favor as a job.

114. Right?

115. Just a one-time delivery.

116. You just pick up

117. a crate on the Southside,

118. deliver it to an address

119. in Greendale. That's it.

120. What's in the crate?

121. Let's say, um...

122. Pancake mix.

123. Penny, I'm not gonna be

124. your drug-runner.

125. Of course not. You're gonna be

126. my "transportation advisor."

127. Do this,

128. and I'll use your cut of

129. the cash for your dad's case.

130. I'll see what we can do about

131. getting him an early release.

132. Okay. Okay, I'll do it.

133. Good boy. Okay. Now, you

134. just gotta make the drop off

135. and get out of there

136. before midnight.

137. 'Cause you don't want to be

138. in Greendale after midnight,

139. trust me.

140. All right?

141. And, um, this crate,

142. it's not gonna fit

143. on your bike.

144. Can you get a car?

145. Jug? What are you doing here?

146. Out of the way,

147. Bert & Ernie.

148. Archie, listen.

149. I need your help.

150. You owe me,

151. because of that

152. little stunt you pulled

153. with Keller and the Ghoulies.

154. Whatever you want.

155. Name the time and place,

156. and I'm there.

157. It's tonight. And we need to

158. borrow your dad's truck.

159. Archie... No questions asked,

160. okay?

161. Grab that side of the crate,

162. I'll grab the other.

163. Jug, I will see this through,

164. but where does it end?

165. 115 Derby Street

166. in Greendale.

167. Come on. I mean, how does

168. you being a Serpent end?

169. I don't know.

170. I'm kind of just living

171. minute-to-minute here.

172. All right?

173. You know,

174. I had this stupid idea.

175. That after graduation,

176. instead of going to college,

177. we'd both move to New York.

178. You were this writer.

179. And I'd be this musician,

180. we'd both live in, like,

181. the East Village or something.

182. Just doing our thing.

183. Pretty sure the East Village

184. doesn't exist anymore.

185. Where are Betty

186. and Veronica in this scenario?

187. They're roommates

188. on Park Avenue.

189. No, but seriously,

190. you stay

191. on this path, Jughead,

192. you're gonna end up in jail.

193. Or maybe worse than jail.

194. And of course,

195. I don't have a friggin' spare.

196. We're gonna have to

197. call Triple C.

198. What? We have

199. the crate in the back.

200. No, no. Let's call Betty.

201. She can bring us a tire.

202. Are you crazy?

203. No, Betty is not an option.

204. I am not letting you

205. drag her into this mess.

206. Hey, calm down.

207. You're right.

208. Kevin! He's got a truck.

209. Let's call him. Come on.

210. Yeah.

211. Okay.

212. Play it cool.

213. Having some car trouble?

214. - No.

215. - Yeah.

216. We need a spare.

217. Or a ride to Greendale,

218. if you can help.

219. Uh, no spare,

220. but I'm passing through

221. Greendale.

222. What's in the crate?

223. Pancake mix.

224. Well, I can take you,

225. but it's going to cost you.

226. - How much cash you got?

227. - $18.

228. I only got room

229. for one of you.

230. Me. And the crate.

231. You're not seriously gonna

232. go with this guy alone,

233. are you?

234. We don't really

235. have any other choices.

236. Hey, we doing this or not?

237. Yeah, yes we are.

238. It's all right. Just stay

239. with your dad's truck.

240. Hey, you've come this far.

241. We're all good.

242. Okay?

243. Don't look

244. under that tarp, boy.

245. Thought your friend

246. back there was

247. Jason Blossom,

248. for just a hot minute.

249. You never know

250. on the road to Greendale.

251. This is truly judgment day,

252. and he is the reaper,

253. for Riverdale is soulless

254. and corrupt.

255. But in the Black of the Hood

256. is the light of God,

257. and when you see it,

258. you will die.

259. Unless you are of

260. heavenly things and pure...

261. Do you mind

262. if I turn this down?

263. There's a lot of

264. righteous people saying

265. he's doing God's work,

266. The Black Hood.

267. That's one way

268. of lookin' at it, yeah.

269. Yeah.

270. You know what this

271. whole Black Hood thing

272. reminds me of, don't you?

273. The Riverdale Reaper,

274. is what.

275. Riverdale had a Reaper?

276. Makes my blood run cold

277. just thinking about it.

278. Thanks for the tire.

279. You got it.

280. Fill her up.

281. I'll go pay inside.

282. Hey, boy!

283. There's a cafe over there.

284. I'm starving. Come on, now.

285. I saw you,

286. look under my tarp.

287. Don't worry,

288. I got my permits.

289. I'm no thrill-seeking sicko,

290. like the Black Hood.

291. Or the Riverdale Reaper.

292. Who exactly

293. was the Riverdale Reaper?

294. There was a family

295. living out near Fox Forest.

296. Good family.

297. Mother, father, two kids.

298. One night,

299. they were all asleep,

300. someone broke in.

301. A boogeyman went

302. room to room with a shotgun.

303. Shot 'em all dead.

304. No survivors.

305. Oh, my God.

306. Did they find him?

307. The Reaper?

308. Some people say

309. the lynch mob got him.

310. Hung him from the tree

311. near Pickens Park.

312. Others think

313. he hopped a train

314. and went out to California.

315. Started praying to the Devil.

316. Others say

317. he never left Riverdale.

318. What are you saying?

319. You think the Riverdale Reaper

320. is the Black Hood?

321. I'm saying that

322. there's a cycle to things.

323. What happened then,

324. what's happening now.

325. It's killing season

326. in Riverdale.

327. And I wouldn't be surprised

328. if it was the same man.

329. Here's the check,

330. when you're ready.

331. My friend here'll pay for it.

332. What?

333. I don't

334. have any money,

335. I gave it to you... 18 bucks.

336. I used that for the gas.

337. Well, somebody's gotta pay

338. for this.

339. Oh, good luck, Crown Boy.

340. I'm outta here.

341. And I'm taking that crate

342. with me.

343. - No, you aren't, man.

344. Where are you going?

345. Nobody move,

346. I'm calling the Sheriff—

347. - No!

348. - No!

349. Jughead, what's going on?

350. They're trying to

351. dine n' ditch!

352. I'm calling the cops!

353. Two boys on a country road,

354. with a crate full

355. of God-knows-what.

356. You're sinners, both of you.

357. Careful or you'll taste

358. the Reaper's blade next.

359. I'll pay for the bill.

360. Do you take debit?

361. Thanks.

362. And thank you

363. for coming back for me.

364. I said

365. I'd see this through, Jug.

366. It's 11:52.

367. Better get goin' then.

368. You're late.

369. We had car trouble.

370. - Next time don't be late.

371. No next time.

372. No, this was a one-time thing.

373. That's not what

374. Snake Charmer tells me.

375. She says the Serpents are

376. taking over for the Ghoulies.

377. We're set

378. for a regular delivery,

379. with a regular delivery boy.

380. Which one of you

381. is Jughead Jones?

382. You know my name?

383. All the love

384. we never had

385. Thank you for helping me

386. tonight, I...

387. I know that, that

388. violates every strand

389. of your DNA.

390. We've all done

391. bad things, Jug.

392. Ever since the Black Hood

393. walked into this diner.

394. It's like he's making us

395. do them.

396. I was thinking about that guy

397. who stopped for us tonight,

398. Mr. American Gothic.

399. His story about

400. the Riverdale Reaper.

401. Maybe it's just a tale

402. from the dark side but...

403. What if,

404. it's an actual lead?

405. Maybe tomorrow,

406. you and I,

407. if you're free,

408. we could go to library—

409. Me and Reggie are taking Moose

410. to physical therapy.

411. Then Ronnie and I

412. are having dinner

413. with her parents.

414. But maybe the day after?

415. Yeah. For sure.

416. Can't you get out

417. of this somehow, Jug?

418. What part exactly?

419. I can try.

420. Hey, I'll try.

421. Do you want a ride home?

422. It's practically dawn.

423. No, um...

424. Visiting hours start

425. at sun up.

426. I'm gonna visit my dad.

427. What's up? You look

428. like you've seen a ghost.

429. - What the hell game

430. are you playing, Penny?

431. - You lied to me.

432. My dad's fine.

433. - I incentivized you.

434. No, you said that this was

435. gonna be a one-and-done.

436. It's not like

437. you have a choice.

438. What is this?

439. It's insurance

440. you'll do what I say.

441. And if you cause a stink

442. or try to back out,

443. or raise your voice

444. to me ever again,

445. I will make sure

446. that video goes straight

447. to the Sheriff's office.

448. God, imagine what that

449. would do to your dad's heart.

450. Break it, right?

451. Why?

452. - Why me?

453. - FP made me a promise,

454. that he didn't keep.

455. As far as I'm concerned,

456. his debt is yours.

457. And I am just getting started

458. with you.

459. Mr. Svenson,

460. you scared me.

461. I was about to lock up.

462. Are you gonna be okay?

463. Yeah, yeah,

464. I'll just, uh,

465. slip out the side door,

466. like usual.

467. As long as you don't tell

468. Principal Weatherbee.

469. He'd have my head.

470. Josephine McCoy.

471. Why do you think I moved us

472. into the Five Seasons?

473. Because,

474. you don't feel safe

475. at the house.

476. Baby, I don't want you

477. walking the streets alone,

478. not with the Black Hood

479. out there.

480. I am this close to assigning

481. a deputy to you for security.

482. Mom! I don't need a bodyguard.

483. I'm not Whitney.

484. Not yet, anyway.

485. I want you in this hotel

486. before dark from now on.

487. - Mom.

488. - Understood?

489. Yes, ma'am.

490. The Black Hood has my mom

491. on edge and she has me

492. on edge,

493. and when I get stressed,

494. the polyps

495. on my vocal chords swell

496. and I lose my voice.

497. On top of which,

498. going behind

499. the Pussycats' back,

500. working on songs without them.

501. You feel like you're sinning,

502. and the Black Hood is

503. going after sinners.

504. I get it. And you're allowed

505. to feel guilty.

506. Up to a point,

507. but I slipped that vid of you

508. singing "Milkshake"

509. to that producer

510. at Shabbey Road Studios,

511. and he was adamant about

512. giving you and you alone,

513. - studio time.

514. OMG. Another gift

515. from your secret admirer?

516. Gotta get a new lock.

517. That's the third gift

518. this week.

519. Who could this mystery bae be?

520. Ooh, maybe

521. it's the Black Hood.

522. You know

523. he loves writing notes.

524. That is not funny, Cheryl.

525. I never know

526. where you stand

527. Chuck Clayton?

528. Can I help you?

529. Well, I heard that voice

530. and I could not resist.

531. So, uh,

532. I know this may seem

533. a little out of the blue.

534. But I was wondering

535. if maybe you and I—

536. No.

537. Not even

538. some cheese fries at Pop's?

539. Wait, hold up.

540. Are you the one

541. putting things in my locker?

542. - Well, I can be.

543. - Ew.

544. Sorry, Chuck. I don't date.

545. Especially not chauvinistic,

546. misogynistic harassers

547. of women, like you.

548. - I've got bio.

549. You will not believe this.

550. Chuck Clayton just asked me

551. out on a date.

552. That's vile,

553. assuming you said no.

554. Yeah, I'm not insane.

555. Good. Because we've a date

556. with the recording studio

557. - Maybe after school today?

558. No way. I'm heading straight

559. to the girls' locker room

560. for a eucalyptus steam.

561. My throat's been acting up—

562. - Josie, we have to practice—

563. - Good Lord, Cheryl.

564. I don't know who's more

565. controlling, you or my mom.

566. Josie, what you did,

567. saving me from that

568. Nick St. Creature.

569. It's a debt

570. I'll never be able to repay.

571. What I can do is offer

572. my humble skills to make

573. your career blossom.

574. But I'm happy

575. to take a step back

576. if you're feeling overwhelmed.

577. No, no.

578. It's all good.

579. Oh, my God...

580. Hey, what's up.

581. Is it true

582. you're ditching us?

583. - Who told you that?

584. - Someone put a note

585. in my locker.

586. - What?

587. - Josie.

588. Women are supposed to treat

589. each other better than this.

590. We're your sisters,

591. and you clawed us in the back.

592. It's not as black-and-white

593. as that.

594. Okay, this... This opportunity

595. just fell in my lap.

596. Then why

597. didn't you talk to us?

598. Why be all shady

599. and hide it?

600. Because she wants to try it

601. as a solo diva.

602. Well, go ahead, Josie.

603. Try it, girl.

604. 'Cause you're on your own now.

605. What? No, wait!

606. No, Val!

607. Pride cometh before

608. the fall, Josie.

609. Who's there?

610. God! Chuck!

611. Chuck!

612. - Oh, my God.

613. - Josie, are you okay?

614. Yeah.

615. I'm fine.

616. Hey, you wanna...

617. You wanna give me a ride home?

618. Yeah, yeah, of course.

619. Okay.

620. Is it cool

621. if we make one stop first?

622. Don't.

623. Don't give me that look.

624. That "we are on a date" look.

625. We are not on a date.

626. Okay, I admit,

627. - I don't have

628. a great track record.

629. But I am changing.

630. I started going to church

631. with my dad,

632. and I'm taking

633. these art classes.

634. Why? To objectify models?

635. No, I wanna draw comics

636. or kids' books.

637. Chuck, be realistic.

638. You expect me to just believe

639. that you've changed?

640. Hey, kids.

641. Really nice seeing you

642. at church on Sunday, Chuck.

643. Maybe you can

644. get this one to come.

645. What?

646. Did you plan that?

647. No, I'm good.

648. - But I'm not that good.

649. And, Josie, I really

650. am trying to be better.

651. Come on, let's dance.

652. - In Pop's?

653. - Why not?

654. 'Cause they'll be

655. rockin on bandstand

656. Josie!

657. - You are a damned fool.

658. - Mom, what are you doing here?

659. Check your phone, young lady.

660. I've been texting you

661. for hours.

662. And you're in here

663. doing the twist.

664. Mom, relax.

665. Mayor McCoy,

666. I was just about to give

667. Josie a ride home.

668. You?

669. I don't want you within

670. ten feet of my daughter!

671. I cannot have you

672. acting out, Josie,

673. not with everything

674. that's going on.

675. I'm not acting out, Mom,

676. I'm living my life.

677. There are people in this town

678. with hate in their hearts.

679. You've read the letters

680. I used to get.

681. The words they used.

682. And now,

683. since the Black Hood started,

684. it's gotten so much worse.

685. It's like...

686. It's like

687. they're emboldened by him.

688. I've started getting

689. death threats.

690. Oh, my God.

691. The things

692. they're saying, Josie,

693. they're going to

694. "slit my throat."

695. Or "cut out my heart."

696. They're monsters.

697. And...

698. What?

699. The last letter I got,

700. mentioned you.

701. I have to ask you, Josie,

702. you received any letters?

703. Or packages?

704. Anything suspicious

705. or threatening?

706. No.

707. No, nothing like that.

708. I've worked so hard

709. to get us here.

710. To shield us

711. from this kind of hatred.

712. Mom.

713. That someone

714. would do that,

715. write those things

716. to your mom?

717. This town is seriously ill.

718. Tell me about it.

719. My mom's the mayor.

720. She's the strongest woman

721. I know,

722. and for these cowards

723. to be terrorizing her...

724. Do you want to bail

725. on practice?

726. No, I need to sing.

727. It'll keep my mind off

728. last night.

729. Speaking of,

730. I cannot believe you went on

731. a date with Chuck last night.

732. Taking a few art classes

733. does not a saint make.

734. He really is trying

735. to be a better person.

736. Is that why

737. you didn't tell Sheriff Keller

738. he was low-key stalking you?

739. I'm giving Chuck

740. the benefit of the doubt.

741. Fine. It's your funeral.

742. Here we go again.

743. I'll give Chuck that.

744. He knows how to commit.

745. Oh, my God.

746. That is so not okay.

747. It's a threat, Josie.

748. What's in the box?

749. Oh, my God!

750. Out of the way,

751. Bert and Ernie.

752. We got your note, Cretin.

753. This sick game you're playing

754. with my girl ends now.

755. Some people may be buying

756. the snake oil you're peddling,

757. but not me.

758. You're still the same

759. Chuck that thinks women

760. are playthings

761. to possess and torture.

762. Cheryl, what are you even

763. talking about right now?

764. Stuffed animals are one thing,

765. - but a pig's heart?

766. - Josie, I, uh...

767. If the Black Hood weren't

768. clearly an old white dude,

769. I'd say you'd be

770. a prime suspect.

771. Hey, what's going on here?

772. Oh, good. Mr. Svenson's here

773. to clean up the trash.

774. Chuck's been

775. threatening Josie,

776. sending her

777. disturbing messages.

778. The creep probably wants to

779. cut her open

780. and feel her organs.

781. Josie, is this true?

782. For all we know,

783. he's the one sending

784. your mom those letters, too.

785. Come on, Josie.

786. It is. He's the one.

787. - What?

788. - It's true.

789. It is not true,

790. and you know it.

791. - You're going to

792. Weatherbee's office.

793. - You are lying!

794. - You're lying! You're lying!

795. - Come on!

796. All right!

797. We spoke with Chuck and

798. he'll be steering clear

799. of you from here on out.

800. I'm glad

801. they found the miscreant

802. that was doing this

803. to you, baby.

804. Actually, we may not have.

805. We spoke with Chuck

806. and questioned him

807. and checked his locker,

808. but we never found

809. any evidence.

810. Well, keep looking, Tom.

811. If my daughter

812. says it's him, it's him.

813. You've been a haunt

814. in my dreams

815. Love is kinda crazy

816. with a spooky...

817. Josie, baby, what's wrong?

818. Baby, what's wrong?

819. Say something!

820. Say something, Josie.

821. Would I like to go with you

822. and see a movie?

823. First I say no, I've got

824. some plans for tonight

825. Well, what is it, Poirot?

826. Nothing. No. It's too crazy.

827. There's no way.

828. You guys,

829. I'm worried about my dad.

830. The town is turning on him.

831. He's trying his best

832. under these crazy

833. circumstances,

834. but this Black Hood stuff

835. is really getting to him.

836. - How is he dealing with it?

837. - Yeah, what's he been doing?

838. He's not sleeping.

839. He's not eating.

840. I hear him rummaging around

841. the house at odd hours,

842. talking to himself,

843. just heading out

844. in the middle of the night.

845. - Where do you think

846. he's going?

847. - Where's he going?

848. I don't know.

849. But whatever it is, it's...

850. It's like he's

851. a different person.

852. Poor Kevin. He's like

853. a character in a lost

854. Tennessee Williams play.

855. Veronica, I have a theory

856. about Sheriff Keller.

857. Oh, me, too.

858. It's obvious.

859. - He's the Black Hood.

860. - He's having an affair.

861. What?

862. Is that a joke?

863. I wish it were.

864. Whatever crazy web

865. that you're spinning, Bee,

866. let me break it down for you.

867. Sheriff Keller's wife's away,

868. he's failing at his job,

869. he's looking for comfort,

870. sneaking around...

871. All signs point to cheating.

872. Well, I don't know,

873. maybe he's having an affair,

874. and he's the Black Hood.

875. You've known Kevin's dad

876. how many years?

877. Okay, think about it,

878. The Black Hood

879. killed Mr. Phillips

880. in a cell

881. at the Sheriff's Station.

882. How do you explain that?

883. Betty, Kevin needs

884. our friendship right now,

885. not your

886. groundless suspicions.

887. Don't worry,

888. my intuition's telling me

889. that he's having an affair.

890. But stay tuned

891. while I prove it.

892. So I've been wracking

893. my brain for something

894. that might cheer you up,

895. and I have

896. just the prescription.

897. A sleepover!

898. - Doesn't that sound fun?

899. - A sleepover at the Pembrooke?

900. Actually, Kev,

901. I was thinking how

902. I've never seen your house.

903. Thank you for sitting down

904. with me, Sheriff.

905. Like I said,

906. I'm writing a follow-up

907. about Mr. Phillips.

908. Well, I'm happy

909. to oblige, Betty.

910. How did the Black Hood

911. get to the Sugarman, Sheriff?

912. Right here in the station?

913. Forced entry.

914. I was out on patrol

915. and the overnight deputy,

916. he fell asleep.

917. But breaking into

918. your station, that seems—

919. Incredibly ballsy?

920. Have a look at this.

921. The Black Hood pried the door

922. open from the outside.

923. And then he just...

924. Well, come on, I'll show you.

925. I'll take you down

926. to the holding cells,

927. where he shot Phillips.

928. We've gathered shoeprints,

929. video surveillance and

930. everything else we could

931. to catch this monster.

932. But what enrages me is that

933. it happened in my department,

934. under my watch.

935. And if you roll a six,

936. you can take over

937. the Kingdom of Theodore.

938. Interesting.

939. I'm gonna go get a bevvy.

940. Do you want anything?

941. A glass of milk

942. would be great.

943. - Betty?

944. - You're having

945. a sleepover at Kevin's?

946. Without me? In the middle

947. of an investigation?

948. This isn't

949. an investigation, okay?

950. This is me helping

951. a friend deal with

952. his father's infidelities.

953. Oh, so you're there snooping

954. to prove that Sheriff Keller's

955. having an affair?

956. Why else would I leave

957. the comforts of the Pembrooke?

958. Can you please add

959. looking for evidence

960. that suggests Sheriff Keller's

961. the Black Hood

962. to your to-do list?

963. I'd start

964. in the home office.

965. It's locked.

966. And, no, I don't have

967. any bobby pins.

968. Okay, check the basement.

969. Yeah, I'm sure that's where

970. he keeps all his spare hoods.

971. No way.

972. I am not going down there.

973. Please. Just check to see

974. if something jumps out at you.

975. Okay, fine.

976. Hey, Vee...

977. Oh, Veronica.

978. What can I do for you?

979. I was just...

980. Looking for juice

981. or diet soda or something.

982. The fridge in the kitchen

983. is empty and

984. I'm parched.

985. Well, there's some here,

986. I think.

987. - There you are.

988. - Thanks.

989. I didn't know you worked

990. out so much, Mr. Keller.

991. I mean,

992. Archie Andrews,

993. watch your back.

994. I don't do it

995. for vanity.

996. I do it for discipline,

997. and to push my limits.

998. - And I'm sure

999. it comes in handy on the job.

1000. - Yeah.

1001. Kevin mentioned things

1002. have been stressful lately,

1003. with the Black Hood

1004. and everything.

1005. It must get super hard.

1006. With all the pressure,

1007. without Mrs. Keller.

1008. Where is she stationed, again?

1009. Bahrain. Uh,

1010. some Naval Base there.

1011. That can't be easy.

1012. How do you...

1013. Cope?

1014. Veronica?

1015. What are you

1016. doing down here?

1017. Hey, pal.

1018. I saw Kevin's dad

1019. sneaking out

1020. in the middle of the night,

1021. and he came home,

1022. like, at 4:00 a.m.

1023. Look.

1024. A Jingle Jangle addict's body

1025. was found by the tracks

1026. this morning.

1027. It says here this guy

1028. was hit and killed by a train.

1029. Yeah, because

1030. he was pushed in front of it

1031. by Sheriff Keller.

1032. Or he stumbled into its path.

1033. No, think about all

1034. the locked doors

1035. in his house... Why?

1036. - Why?

1037. - Because he's

1038. a private person.

1039. Look, Betty,

1040. let's not confuse

1041. wanting a solution

1042. to this mystery

1043. with actually

1044. having one, okay?

1045. This is Kevin's father

1046. we're talking about.

1047. You always

1048. keep me guessing

1049. And I never seem to know

1050. what you are thinking

1051. And if a fellow

1052. looks at you

1053. It's for sure your

1054. little eye will be a-winkin'

1055. I get confused 'cause

1056. I don't know where I stand

1057. Love is kinda crazy with

1058. a spooky little girl

1059. like you

1060. Betty?

1061. What are you doing here?

1062. Thanks for calling, Tom.

1063. That's okay, Hal.

1064. And as for Betty,

1065. I... I apologize.

1066. I mean,

1067. accusing you of being

1068. the Black Hood.

1069. I can't imagine

1070. where she got that idea.

1071. Well, she found

1072. my research on the case,

1073. and, uh,

1074. the black hood that

1075. I pulled out

1076. of Archie's locker.

1077. With an overactive

1078. imagination,

1079. I can see how

1080. it could look a certain way.

1081. This is my log book.

1082. Go ahead and flip through it.

1083. When Fred was shot,

1084. I was processing a perp.

1085. When Midge and Moose

1086. were attacked,

1087. I was patrolling downtown.

1088. And I was right here

1089. in the station when Ms. Grundy

1090. was murdered in Greendale.

1091. Graveyard shift.

1092. Betty, I'm not going

1093. to say anything

1094. to Kevin about what happened.

1095. You've been

1096. a very good friend to him.

1097. I think

1098. this would break his heart.

1099. Thanks, Tom.

1100. I know you think

1101. I'm crazy, Vee,

1102. but you yourself,

1103. saw him sneaking out.

1104. - He's hiding something.

1105. - Okay, Bee.

1106. I'm in, for Kevin's sake.

1107. And also to keep you in check.

1108. Look. Look, look, look!

1109. Where-oh-where do you

1110. think you're going, Sheriff?

1111. - There he is.

1112. - What is he doing?

1113. That must be his kill kit.

1114. His what now?

1115. He's about to do

1116. something terrible.

1117. His next victim could be

1118. in that room right now.

1119. Should we call the cops?

1120. Betty?

1121. Betty!

1122. - What the hell

1123. are you doing?

1124. - Shh.

1125. I just can't

1126. believe this. I'm in shock.

1127. Me, too.

1128. My woman's intuition told me

1129. Sheriff Keller was having

1130. an affair,

1131. but with Mayor McCoy?

1132. Oh, God. Riverdale's list

1133. of sinners keeps expanding.

1134. Hey, look, it's the boys.

1135. Shall we ask them to join?

1136. On second thought,

1137. it looks like they're

1138. having an intense broment.

1139. Veronica, how are we gonna

1140. tell Kevin about this?

1141. I don't think we do.

1142. I think this is one of those

1143. secrets we keep.

1144. For Kevin's sake.

1145. Let him keep thinking

1146. his dad's a good guy.

1147. There, there.

1148. Drink your tea, Josie.

1149. Do you want a ride home?

1150. It's practically dawn.

1151. No, uh,

1152. visiting hours

1153. start at sunup.

1154. I'm gonna visit my dad.

1155. Hello. Pop's!

1156. That was him on the phone.

1157. The Black Hood.

1158. He says that

1159. we've failed his test.

1160. That we're all sinners.

1161. That the reckoning is upon us.
