177. rushing off?Copy !req
178. Look, Betty,Copy !req
179. I don't wanna be that guy,Copy !req
180. but I see Moose,Copy !req
181. all I think aboutCopy !req
182. is the Black HoodCopy !req
183. and the pain he's causedCopy !req
184. to the people I care about,Copy !req
185. including you.Copy !req
186. I know.Copy !req
187. And the fact thatCopy !req
188. he's still out thereCopy !req
189. is giving meCopy !req
190. anxiety nightmares,Copy !req
191. making me paranoid.Copy !req
192. Like, everywhere I look,Copy !req
193. all I see is...Copy !req
194. What?Copy !req
195. All you see is what?Copy !req

208. happened to him?Copy !req
209. Betty, we found outCopy !req
210. Mr. Svenson's secret...Copy !req
211. What if we led the Black HoodCopy !req
212. right to him?Copy !req
213. What if we got him killed?Copy !req
214. Mr. Svenson?Copy !req
215. He's been out all weekCopy !req
216. with a cold.Copy !req
217. Sounded terribleCopy !req
218. on the phone.Copy !req
219. So, I dropped off someCopy !req
220. chicken soup at his houseCopy !req
221. a few days back.Copy !req
222. You saw him?Copy !req
223. I left it at his door.Copy !req
224. But between us,Copy !req

239. I...Copy !req
240. I just don't want youCopy !req
241. in those crosshairs.Copy !req
242. That's not your decisionCopy !req
243. to make, Jughead.Copy !req
244. Even if you thinkCopy !req
245. it's to protect me,Copy !req
246. it's my choice,Copy !req
247. what I risk and for whom.Copy !req
248. I know.Copy !req
249. I should go.Copy !req

262. I got it before...Copy !req
263. I don't want things to beCopy !req
264. forced between us.Copy !req
265. - What?Copy !req
266. No. Did I...Copy !req
267. Did I make it worse?Copy !req
268. I just, I wanted you to knowCopy !req
269. that I still care about—Copy !req
270. No, you didn't.Copy !req
271. Things at home aren't greatCopy !req
272. right now.Copy !req

290. The watch is great, Ronnie.Copy !req
291. Thank you.Copy !req
292. Yeah.Copy !req

307. Well, in that case,Copy !req
308. you can hold downCopy !req
309. the fort here, Jug.Copy !req
310. Or I could come with you guys.Copy !req

326. on him.Copy !req
327. Yeah, I agree.Copy !req
328. Let me just tell my dadCopy !req

344. Mr. Svenson?Copy !req
345. Can I help you?Copy !req
346. Jughead Jones?Copy !req
347. Maybe.Copy !req
348. I'm Jack Walsh,Copy !req
349. your dad's parole officer.Copy !req
350. He's not home.Copy !req
351. Doesn't need to be.Copy !req
352. Do you mind if I come inCopy !req
353. for a moment?Copy !req
354. Like I have a choice.Copy !req
355. Hiram. Was thatCopy !req
356. a Spiffany's bag I sawCopy !req
357. coming through the lobbyCopy !req
358. earlier today?Copy !req
359. It looked about the right sizeCopy !req
360. for a Glamerge egg.Copy !req
361. That depends, mi amor.Copy !req
362. Have you been naughtyCopy !req
363. or nice this year?Copy !req
364. Don't worry, mi hija.Copy !req
365. Santa has your list, too.Copy !req
366. And please, don't goCopy !req
367. snooping for the giftsCopy !req
368. this year. He hates that.Copy !req
369. Santa can rip upCopy !req
370. my list for all I care.Copy !req
371. I mean, look at us,Copy !req
372. throwing money awayCopy !req
373. on bejeweled eggsCopy !req
374. like we're a familyCopy !req
375. of Russian oligarchsCopy !req
376. when there are peopleCopy !req
377. in this town who can't evenCopy !req
378. pay their own medical bills.Copy !req
379. And since whenCopy !req
380. are you a communist?Copy !req
381. Since Archie told meCopy !req
382. that he and his dadCopy !req
383. are drowningCopy !req
384. in Fred's medical bills.Copy !req
385. To the tune of $86,000.Copy !req
386. Which is why I was thinking—Copy !req
387. - Absolutely not.Copy !req
388. - Sweetheart,Copy !req
389. that's a lot of money.Copy !req
390. The Lodge Charitable TrustCopy !req
391. has made its donationsCopy !req
392. for the fiscal year.Copy !req
393. Fred Andrews will haveCopy !req
394. to tighten his belt.Copy !req
395. Said Ebenezer Scrooge.Copy !req
396. Fred's sellingCopy !req
397. Christmas treesCopy !req
398. for extra cash, Dad.Copy !req
399. I mean, that's the kind of man,Copy !req
400. the kind of father he is.Copy !req
401. You know,Copy !req
402. I believe I've some workCopy !req
403. to finish in my study.Copy !req
404. Cheryl Marjorie Blossom,Copy !req
405. what have you done?Copy !req
406. Isn't it obvious, Mother?Copy !req
407. I've saved Christmas.Copy !req
408. Look how happyCopy !req
409. Nana Rose is.Copy !req
410. You spoiled,Copy !req
411. wretched little brat,Copy !req
412. how do you expectCopy !req
413. to pay for all this?Copy !req
414. I was thinkingCopy !req
415. maybe you could goCopy !req
416. to Mr. Lodge for a job?Copy !req
417. Of course, he'd probably askCopy !req
418. what skills you have,Copy !req
419. and you'd be forced to admitCopy !req
420. that the only skill you haveCopy !req
421. is being a terrible mother.Copy !req
422. So, I guess you're goingCopy !req
423. to have to get creativeCopy !req
424. in the New Year.Copy !req
425. You should've drowned themCopy !req
426. at birth,Copy !req
427. like a basket of kittens.Copy !req
428. Mom?Copy !req
429. Dad?Copy !req
430. How are you?Copy !req
431. I'm fine. I just iced someCopy !req
432. gingerbread cookies,Copy !req
433. Polly's favorite,Copy !req
434. just in caseCopy !req
435. there's a Christmas miracleCopy !req
436. and she comes home.Copy !req
437. Oh, by the way,Copy !req
438. there was a gift for youCopy !req
439. on the steps.Copy !req
440. Your Secret Santa.Copy !req
441. I took it up to your room.Copy !req
442. Secret Santa?Copy !req
443. "Enclosed is a fingerCopy !req
444. that belongs to the sinnerCopy !req
445. Joseph Conway..."Copy !req
446. He's talking aboutCopy !req
447. Mr. Svenson.Copy !req
448. "You have one final trespassCopy !req
449. to unearth.Copy !req
450. Find the truth,Copy !req
451. reveal it to the town,Copy !req
452. and you will perhapsCopy !req
453. save his life."Copy !req
454. He kidnapped Mr. Svenson, Arch,Copy !req
455. and now he's mutilating him.Copy !req
456. Arch, Arch. Hey.Copy !req
457. Betty, please.Copy !req
458. Mr. Svenson? Is that you?Copy !req
459. It is, Betty,Copy !req
460. but his name is Joseph Conway.Copy !req
461. He's lost a lot of blood.Copy !req
462. Though it's nothingCopy !req
463. compared to the bloodCopy !req
464. on the hands of this town.Copy !req
465. Exhume the past.Copy !req
466. Find where the primal sinCopy !req
467. was committedCopy !req
468. and you'll findCopy !req
469. the sinner Conway,Copy !req
470. maybe alive.Copy !req
471. And, as always, don't—Copy !req
472. What, you maniac?Copy !req
473. Don't tell Sheriff Keller?Copy !req
474. Archie, what sin?Copy !req
475. What could Mr. SvensonCopy !req
476. possibly be guilty of?Copy !req
477. Veronica and I talkedCopy !req
478. to him.Copy !req
479. Betty, his entire familyCopy !req
480. was murdered by someCopy !req
481. crazy preacher.Copy !req
482. Well, maybe the peopleCopy !req
483. who adopted him knowCopy !req
484. something that we don't.Copy !req
485. Wait, wait, Betty.Copy !req
486. Before he was adopted,Copy !req
487. Mr. Svenson livedCopy !req
488. as Joseph ConwayCopy !req
489. at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy.Copy !req
490. Would they talk to us?Copy !req
491. They better.Copy !req
492. Merry Christmas, Mom.Copy !req
493. Pop's?Copy !req
494. Did you open them?Copy !req
495. No, Dad.Copy !req
496. Out of respect for you.Copy !req
497. But your parole officer,Copy !req
498. Mr. Walsh, he sure was curious.Copy !req
499. - Walsh was here?Copy !req
500. - Yeah.Copy !req
501. Don't worry,Copy !req
502. I got rid of him.Copy !req
503. But he already has heardCopy !req
504. that the Serpents are movingCopy !req
505. into narcos territory.Copy !req
506. Gift boxes.Copy !req
507. - With drugs in them?Copy !req
508. - No, with gifts in them.Copy !req
509. For you, your mom,Copy !req
510. and Jellybean.Copy !req
511. Christmas day, I thoughtCopy !req
512. we'd take a ride to ToledoCopy !req
513. and deliver them in person.Copy !req
514. Dad, this isn't going to work.Copy !req
515. Today, it's gifts.Copy !req
516. Tomorrow,Copy !req
517. it's drugs or weaponsCopy !req
518. or God knows what.Copy !req
519. And how longCopy !req
520. this is going to go on for?Copy !req
521. As long as Penny wants.Copy !req
522. And if her favorsCopy !req
523. keep getting biggerCopy !req
524. which you know that they will,Copy !req
525. what happens when she asksCopy !req
526. for more Serpents in on this?Copy !req
527. Then I'll bringCopy !req
528. more Serpents!Copy !req
529. You know what?Copy !req
530. You are right.Copy !req
531. This isn't going to work.Copy !req
532. You and I living together,Copy !req
533. so maybe you can go backCopy !req
534. to Fred's or to Betty's.Copy !req
535. Betty? I split with Betty—Copy !req
536. Well then, what do youCopy !req
537. want me to say?Copy !req
538. I just want youCopy !req
539. to let me helpCopy !req
540. fix this mess that I made.Copy !req
541. Get this throughCopy !req
542. your thick skull, Jughead.Copy !req
543. We are trapped.Copy !req
544. We've got no leverage.Copy !req
545. If that means I gotta beCopy !req
546. Penny's dancing monkeyCopy !req
547. for the time being,Copy !req
548. then that's how it goes.Copy !req
549. Let me get some rest.Copy !req

558. I'm his business partner.Copy !req
559. I'd like to pay the billCopy !req
560. in full and keep it anonymous,Copy !req
561. an angel donation.Copy !req
562. Yes, I'm aware of the amount.Copy !req

573. Now, she's roped in Tall BoyCopy !req
574. and Sweet Pea.Copy !req
575. Man, if you're pissedCopy !req
576. because your old manCopy !req
577. tapped me instead of you—Copy !req
578. No, Sweet Pea.Copy !req
579. I'm pissed becauseCopy !req
580. I don't want the SerpentsCopy !req
581. to end up like the Ghoulies.Copy !req
582. And I doubt that any of youCopy !req
583. became SerpentCopy !req
584. just to be at the beck and callCopy !req
585. of a drug queen pin.Copy !req
586. I know where this ends.Copy !req
587. Death. Jail.Copy !req
588. Which is whyCopy !req
589. in the interestCopy !req
590. of self-preservation,Copy !req
591. we have to take out Penny.Copy !req
592. Snake Charmer's helpedCopy !req
593. some of us.Copy !req
594. Oh, yeah?Copy !req

600. Penny tonight,Copy !req
601. she is going to getCopy !req
602. every single one of usCopy !req
603. in on this. I promise you.Copy !req
604. I promise you, Sweet Pea.Copy !req
605. What I am asking is,Copy !req
606. are you willingCopy !req
607. to risk your necksCopy !req
608. to save my dad's life?Copy !req
609. What is the first law?Copy !req
610. No Serpent stands alone.Copy !req
611. I'm in.Copy !req
612. Me, too.Copy !req
613. Let's do this.Copy !req
614. Joseph Conway.Copy !req
615. Joseph Svenson,Copy !req
616. as you know him,Copy !req
617. was a troubled youth.Copy !req
618. There was no saving him.Copy !req
619. Meaning he was a sinner?Copy !req
620. No, he was a child, a victim.Copy !req
621. Did he sufferCopy !req
622. from survivor's guilt?Copy !req
623. I've already said too much.Copy !req
624. No.Copy !req
625. Betty.Copy !req
626. Sister Woodhouse,Copy !req
627. when my sisterCopy !req
628. escaped this dungeon,Copy !req
629. she told me all aboutCopy !req
630. the corporeal punishment.Copy !req
631. So please, help us with thisCopy !req
632. or I'll exposeCopy !req
633. the Sisters of Quiet MercyCopy !req
634. for the house of horrorsCopy !req
635. that it really is.Copy !req
636. After his family was massacred,Copy !req
637. young Conway,Copy !req
638. young Svenson,Copy !req
639. identified the man responsible.Copy !req
640. Then, a small groupCopy !req
641. of Riverdale's citizensCopy !req
642. took mattersCopy !req
643. into their own handsCopy !req
644. and, well, executed him.Copy !req
645. It was only laterCopy !req
646. when he was with us,Copy !req
647. that Joseph admittedCopy !req
648. that in his terror and shock,Copy !req
649. he may have pointedCopy !req
650. a finger of accusation...Copy !req
651. At the wrong man?Copy !req
652. Oh, my God.Copy !req
653. Svenson's sin was sentencingCopy !req
654. the wrong man to death.Copy !req
655. Did Svenson, did ConwayCopy !req
656. ever talk aboutCopy !req
657. who carried outCopy !req
658. the execution?Copy !req
659. They came here once,Copy !req
660. to see Joseph.Copy !req
661. It was a group of menCopy !req
662. and one woman.Copy !req
663. I don't know their namesCopy !req
664. and I can't rememberCopy !req
665. what they look like.Copy !req
666. Just that the womanCopy !req
667. had the most striking hair,Copy !req
668. white,Copy !req
669. save for a cherry-red stripe.Copy !req
670. Nana Rose Blossom?Copy !req
671. FP?Copy !req
672. Well, you're early, Old Hoss.Copy !req
673. Penny.Copy !req
674. Ho-merry-ho.Copy !req
675. Jughead Jones.Copy !req
676. Nice crowbar.Copy !req
677. This? Yeah, I brought itCopy !req
678. in case I needed to pryCopy !req
679. the door open.Copy !req
680. - Well, are you gonnaCopy !req
681. give me hand with this stuff?Copy !req
682. Your dad will be hereCopy !req
683. in like what,Copy !req
684. 15, 20 minutes.Copy !req
685. He probably won't beCopy !req
686. too happy to see you, huh?Copy !req
687. I wouldn't worry about that.Copy !req
688. Neither of usCopy !req
689. are going to be here.Copy !req
690. Is this supposeCopy !req
691. to scare me?Copy !req
692. I would not do thisCopy !req
693. if I were you.Copy !req
694. You are making a big mistake.Copy !req
695. You are making a—Copy !req
696. Are you out of your mind?Copy !req
697. Hey, guys.Copy !req
698. Finishing up someCopy !req
699. last minute shopping?Copy !req
700. We were, but then we gotCopy !req
701. the most fascinating callCopy !req
702. from our bank,Copy !req
703. confirming a chargeCopy !req
704. that was madeCopy !req
705. to my credit cardCopy !req
706. in the amount of $86,000.Copy !req
707. Oh, so that went through.Copy !req
708. Great.Copy !req
709. Yeah, I decidedCopy !req
710. that you would coverCopy !req
711. Fred's medical expenses.Copy !req
712. I mean, if you can affordCopy !req
713. to buy Pop's,Copy !req
714. and then lie to my faceCopy !req
715. about it.Copy !req
716. So, how is it thatCopy !req
717. we can now suddenlyCopy !req
718. afford an entire diner?Copy !req
719. You wanted a more active roleCopy !req
720. in Lodge IndustriesCopy !req
721. and we let you have it.Copy !req
722. Then you break into my officeCopy !req
723. and try to useCopy !req
724. whatever you findCopy !req
725. as leverage?Copy !req
726. Now, I admit,Copy !req
727. there's a lot you don't knowCopy !req
728. and that's on purpose.Copy !req
729. How can I be partCopy !req
730. of this family if you keepCopy !req
731. hiding things from me?Copy !req
732. Mija, you think you wantCopy !req
733. to know everything,Copy !req
734. but you don't.Copy !req
735. My name is on all of thoseCopy !req
736. documents in your desk, Daddy,Copy !req
737. doesn't that meanCopy !req
738. I have the right to know?Copy !req
739. Yes. Yes, it does, Veronica.Copy !req
740. But that means the timeCopy !req
741. for being Daddy's little girlCopy !req
742. is over.Copy !req
743. It's time to work now,Copy !req
744. all of us, in lockstep.Copy !req
745. She deserves to knowCopy !req
746. the truth, Hiram.Copy !req
747. All right.Copy !req
748. All right.Copy !req
749. Follow me into the study.Copy !req
750. Where am I?Copy !req
751. You're in Greendale.Copy !req
752. Your new home.Copy !req
753. But frankly, Penny,Copy !req
754. I don't care whereCopy !req
755. you set up shop.Copy !req
756. But it's not gonna beCopy !req
757. in RiverdaleCopy !req
758. and it's not going to beCopy !req
759. with Serpents.Copy !req
760. You want to deal drugs,Copy !req
761. you want to extort people,Copy !req
762. that's your business.Copy !req
763. But not on the Southside.Copy !req
764. That belongs to us.Copy !req
765. You stupid, cocky kid.Copy !req
766. Serpent law saysCopy !req
767. you can't hurtCopy !req
768. one of your own.Copy !req
769. Oh, Penny,Copy !req
770. it's time you learned.Copy !req
771. Grab her.Copy !req
772. What are you doing?Copy !req
773. Get off of me.Copy !req
774. Get off of me!Copy !req
775. That tattoo doesn'tCopy !req
776. make you a Serpent.Copy !req
777. No!Copy !req
778. Cheryl, we need to seeCopy !req
779. your grandmother.Copy !req
780. Nana Rose seldom has visitors.Copy !req
781. She'll be pleased.Copy !req
782. Entree.Copy !req
783. Nana Rose, we haveCopy !req
784. some questions for youCopy !req
785. about something that happenedCopy !req
786. in Riverdale a long time ago.Copy !req
787. A man killed this familyCopy !req
788. and a group of peopleCopy !req
789. decided to take justiceCopy !req
790. into their own hands.Copy !req
791. Oh, dear.Copy !req
792. Here in Riverdale?Copy !req
793. Yes.Copy !req
794. And you were a partCopy !req
795. of that group, weren't you?Copy !req
796. What is this,Copy !req
797. a Christmas inquest?Copy !req
798. Cheryl, a man's lifeCopy !req
799. is at stake.Copy !req
800. Were youCopy !req
801. with this group when they...Copy !req
802. When you killed this manCopy !req
803. for revenge?Copy !req
804. Oh, no.Copy !req
805. No girls allowed.Copy !req
806. They told me to stay at homeCopy !req
807. while they took careCopy !req
808. of the bad man.Copy !req
809. Nana Rose,Copy !req
810. this is so important.Copy !req
811. Where did they hangCopy !req
812. the bad man?Copy !req
813. Oh, they didn't hang him.Copy !req
814. Oh, no. They gave himCopy !req
815. a proper burial.Copy !req
816. Buried him alive.Copy !req
817. Where?Copy !req
818. Where did they do that?Copy !req
819. Ask your grandfather,Copy !req
820. Polly dear, he was there.Copy !req
821. My, my grandfather?Copy !req
822. I had a picture of them,Copy !req
823. smiling at the place.Copy !req
824. Standing underCopy !req
825. the Devil's Hand.Copy !req
826. Picture? What picture?Copy !req
827. Cheryl.Copy !req
828. I wonder if you mightCopy !req
829. take me to my room.Copy !req
830. I suddenly feel quite ill.Copy !req
831. Satisfied, you vultures?Copy !req
832. Your reindeer games are over.Copy !req
833. Now get the hell out.Copy !req
834. Archie, my grandfatherCopy !req
835. helped murder an innocent man.Copy !req
836. Betty, who even knowsCopy !req
837. if what she was saying is true.Copy !req
838. That pictureCopy !req
839. Nana Rose mentioned,Copy !req
840. when Grandpa Louis died,Copy !req
841. we packed up his houseCopy !req
842. and we donatedCopy !req
843. most of his stuffCopy !req
844. but he had pictures,Copy !req
845. and we kept themCopy !req
846. and we organized them.Copy !req
847. Okay, Betty, take a breath,Copy !req
848. where are they?Copy !req
849. Where are the pictures?Copy !req
850. My house.Copy !req
851. They are at my house.Copy !req
852. - That's great.Copy !req
853. - Archie,Copy !req
854. my grandfather killed a manCopy !req
855. in cold blood, an innocent man.Copy !req
856. What if that's whyCopy !req
857. he picked me,Copy !req
858. the Black Hood?Copy !req
859. That's whyCopy !req
860. he has been calling me.Copy !req
861. - Revenge for somethingCopy !req
862. I didn't even do—Copy !req
863. - Betty, listen to me.Copy !req
864. This is the partCopy !req
865. where we end this.Copy !req
866. Where we save Mr. SvensonCopy !req
867. and stop the Black HoodCopy !req
868. tonight.Copy !req
869. But I need you with me.Copy !req
870. I can't do this alone.Copy !req
871. Tomorrow,Copy !req
872. we're gonna wake up,Copy !req
873. and everything is gonnaCopy !req
874. go back to how it was,Copy !req
875. but right now,Copy !req
876. I need you with me.Copy !req
877. - I need Betty Cooper.Copy !req
878. - Archie.Copy !req
879. Betty.Copy !req
880. We have to hurry.Copy !req
881. Well, Veronica,Copy !req
882. now you know.Copy !req
883. You know everything.Copy !req
884. So, mija, what do you think?Copy !req
885. I'm in.Copy !req
886. But I have ground rules.Copy !req
887. Well, one ground rule.Copy !req
888. By all means.Copy !req
889. I refuse to doCopy !req
890. anything illegal.Copy !req
891. Well, that's fine,Copy !req
892. especially since we're notCopy !req
893. doing anything illegal either.Copy !req
894. Let me shareCopy !req
895. two words to live by.Copy !req
896. "Plausible deniability."Copy !req
897. Also,Copy !req
898. that charge I madeCopy !req
899. for Fred's medical bills?Copy !req
900. I want that to stick.Copy !req
901. Mija, it's gonna complicateCopy !req
902. matters, Fred's a proud man.Copy !req
903. - He's not—Copy !req
904. - We'll smoothCopy !req
905. that over, though.Copy !req
906. And the truth is,Copy !req
907. we'll need FredCopy !req
908. for what comes next.Copy !req
909. Fine.Copy !req
910. Assuming the Fred situationCopy !req
911. can be finessed,Copy !req
912. do we have a deal?Copy !req
913. We do, Daddykins.Copy !req
914. We have a deal.Copy !req
915. Hey, Dad.Copy !req
916. What's all this?Copy !req
917. This is a celebratory dinner.Copy !req
918. Penny didn't show upCopy !req
919. for your pick up, did she?Copy !req
920. No.Copy !req
921. No, she didn't. Why?Copy !req
922. Do you know somethingCopy !req
923. about that?Copy !req
924. She's gone, Dad.Copy !req
925. I ralliedCopy !req
926. the younger Serpents,Copy !req
927. we drove herCopy !req
928. out of Riverdale.Copy !req
929. And I got my pound of fleshCopy !req
930. in the process.Copy !req
931. Are you nuts? She will be back,Copy !req
932. you better believe that.Copy !req
933. She won't!Copy !req
934. I was very persuasive.Copy !req
935. And even if she does,Copy !req
936. we will take care of it.Copy !req
937. You and me,Copy !req
938. and the other Serpents.Copy !req
939. - In unity, there's strength.Copy !req
940. - Oh, God.Copy !req
941. That's the sixth law.Copy !req
942. While you were in jail,Copy !req
943. I recited that every day,Copy !req
944. I lived by that.Copy !req
945. You want to take my jacket?Copy !req
946. You want to relegate meCopy !req
947. to Toys for Tots, fine.Copy !req
948. But I am still a Serpent, Dad,Copy !req
949. and this,Copy !req
950. this life that you wantedCopy !req
951. to protect me from,Copy !req
952. I'm proud of this.Copy !req
953. I'm proud of who I am.Copy !req
954. You can't take that awayCopy !req
955. from me.Copy !req
956. Nana Rose saidCopy !req
957. it was a group of men.Copy !req
958. I mean, there was one photoCopy !req
959. that I kind of remember.Copy !req
960. Dad said it was takenCopy !req
961. after Grandpa LouisCopy !req
962. and some of his friendsCopy !req
963. had planted some treesCopy !req
964. in Pickens Park.Copy !req
965. Wait.Copy !req
966. Is this it?Copy !req
967. Betty, look at the ground.Copy !req
968. That's where they buriedCopy !req
969. the preacher.Copy !req
970. Where Svenson could beCopy !req
971. maybe still alive.Copy !req
972. Yeah, look at the branches.Copy !req
973. The Devil's Hand.Copy !req
974. That tree's in Pickens Park.Copy !req
975. We'll call Sheriff KellerCopy !req
976. on the way. Come on.Copy !req
977. Look around. There.Copy !req
978. Yeah.Copy !req
979. Oh, my God! Archie.Copy !req
980. Where is Mr. Svenson?Copy !req
981. Why would the Black HoodCopy !req
982. bury an empty coffin?Copy !req
983. - What if it's a—Copy !req
984. Get in the coffin.Copy !req
985. No. No way.Copy !req
986. Get in the coffinCopy !req
987. or I shoot herCopy !req
988. in the head.Copy !req
989. Right now!Copy !req
990. Shut the coffinCopy !req
991. and step out of the grave.Copy !req
992. Betty, do it.Copy !req
993. I'm sorry.Copy !req
994. Pick up the shovel.Copy !req
995. Fill in the grave.Copy !req
996. Please don'tCopy !req
997. make me.Copy !req
998. We knowCopy !req
999. what Mr. Svenson's sin is.Copy !req
1000. What he did.Copy !req
1001. That's the town's secret sin.Copy !req
1002. That's whatCopy !req
1003. you want revealed, right?Copy !req
1004. We can do that.Copy !req
1005. I can do that.Copy !req
1006. Mr. Svenson, wherever he is,Copy !req
1007. he doesn't have to die.Copy !req
1008. - Archie doesn't have to—Copy !req
1009. Archie.Copy !req
1010. Where is he?Copy !req
1011. Where did he go?Copy !req
1012. This way.Copy !req
1013. Stop!Copy !req
1014. Stop!Copy !req
1015. Right the hell now!Copy !req
1016. Get down or I'll shoot you.Copy !req
1017. I swear to God, I'll do it!Copy !req
1018. You tried to kill my fatherCopy !req
1019. and my friends.Copy !req
1020. You are going to payCopy !req
1021. for your crimes.Copy !req
1022. You are not escaping.Copy !req
1023. This ends tonight.Copy !req
1024. I said stop!Copy !req
1025. Archie, put the gun down.Copy !req
1026. - It's okay.Copy !req
1027. - Sheriff Keller.Copy !req
1028. Stay back, Betty.Copy !req
1029. He's dead.Copy !req
1030. Who is he?Copy !req
1031. The town demandedCopy !req
1032. blood for blood.Copy !req
1033. Give me the gun.Copy !req
1034. Your instinctCopy !req
1035. about SvensonCopy !req
1036. was right, Ronnie.Copy !req
1037. You thoughtCopy !req
1038. he was the Black Hood.Copy !req
1039. We could have ended it,Copy !req
1040. right there at schoolCopy !req
1041. where we confronted him.Copy !req
1042. I didn't see it.Copy !req
1043. I didn't, I didn'tCopy !req
1044. see it in his eyes.Copy !req
1045. Forget his eyes.Copy !req
1046. I can't believe he cut offCopy !req
1047. his own finger.Copy !req
1048. The finger of accusation.Copy !req
1049. So we know whodunit.Copy !req
1050. Why did he do it?Copy !req
1051. Mr. Svenson accusedCopy !req
1052. an innocent manCopy !req
1053. of murdering his familyCopy !req
1054. and got the man killed.Copy !req
1055. So maybe,Copy !req
1056. in some backwards way,Copy !req
1057. he thought targetingCopy !req
1058. sinners would balanceCopy !req
1059. the scales somehow.Copy !req
1060. I don't know.Copy !req
1061. No, no, it makes sense.Copy !req
1062. I mean,Copy !req
1063. Svenson was always around,Copy !req
1064. lurking in the hallways.Copy !req
1065. He could have seen meCopy !req
1066. and Ms. GrundyCopy !req
1067. in the music room.Copy !req
1068. Yeah, he could have seenCopy !req
1069. Moose and MidgeCopy !req
1070. buying jingle-jangle.Copy !req
1071. Guys, this is startingCopy !req
1072. to feel like that weirdCopy !req
