1. Previously on Riverdale...
Copy !req
2. He calls himself
Copy !req
3. the Black Hood.
Copy !req
4. It's like the angel of death
Copy !req
5. had come to Riverdale.
Copy !req
6. A family of four was murdered.
Copy !req
7. There was a third child.
Copy !req
8. Do you know
Copy !req
9. who killed your family?
Copy !req
10. A preacher,
Copy !req
11. passing through town.
Copy !req
12. A group of men killed him.
Copy !req
13. Justice had been served.
Copy !req
14. I know all about
Copy !req
15. the Snake Charmer.
Copy !req
16. If you cause a stink,
Copy !req
17. I will make sure
Copy !req
18. that video goes straight
Copy !req
19. to the Sheriff's office.
Copy !req
20. I love you, Ronnie.
Copy !req
21. Archie, whatever deep-seated
Copy !req
22. issues I have,
Copy !req
23. I can't let myself
Copy !req
24. go there with you.
Copy !req
25. How many times are we
Copy !req
26. gonna push each other away?
Copy !req
27. Used to be,
Copy !req
28. in ye olden days,
Copy !req
29. every December,
Copy !req
30. a Lord of Misrule
Copy !req
31. presided over
Copy !req
32. the winter holidays,
Copy !req
33. called back then,
Copy !req
34. the Feast of Fools.
Copy !req
35. What do you say, Pop?
Copy !req
36. Is it okay?
Copy !req
37. The best tree yet.
Copy !req
38. Thanks, Archie,
Copy !req
39. thanks, Fred.
Copy !req
40. Oh, no. Thank you, Pop,
Copy !req
41. for letting us set up shop
Copy !req
42. right in front of your diner.
Copy !req
43. You guys gonna
Copy !req
44. stay in town for break?
Copy !req
45. Yeah. We were gonna
Copy !req
46. visit my mom,
Copy !req
47. but she booked
Copy !req
48. a single's cruise so...
Copy !req
49. How are you and Veronica?
Copy !req
50. We've been better.
Copy !req
51. If it's any consolation,
Copy !req
52. Betty and I aren't
Copy !req
53. in the greatest
Copy !req
54. of places, either.
Copy !req
55. Jughead, you want
Copy !req
56. a Christmas tree,
Copy !req
57. you and your dad?
Copy !req
58. On the house.
Copy !req
59. It would have to be
Copy !req
60. a small one, Mr. A.
Copy !req
61. So, I'll see you
Copy !req
62. at Kevin's Secret Santa thing?
Copy !req
63. Yeah. Because that sounds
Copy !req
64. like a great idea.
Copy !req
65. So Christmas
Copy !req
66. was happening,
Copy !req
67. even though this year's
Copy !req
68. Lord of Misrule was none
Copy !req
69. other than the Black Hood.
Copy !req
70. Betty.
Copy !req
71. - Wake up, it's time.
Copy !req
72. - Polly.
Copy !req
73. - He's here,
Copy !req
74. he's waiting for us.
Copy !req
75. - What? Who?
Copy !req
76. You know who. Come on.
Copy !req
77. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
78. Hey, Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
79. - Betty.
Copy !req
80. - Betty, Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
81. Okay.
Copy !req
82. All right, honey,
Copy !req
83. I told you like...
Copy !req
84. Santa?
Copy !req
85. - Where's Jason's stocking?
Copy !req
86. - I couldn't find it.
Copy !req
87. And anyway,
Copy !req
88. there's nothing to put in it.
Copy !req
89. And what, pray tell,
Copy !req
90. is this?
Copy !req
91. It's going to be a Hard Candy
Copy !req
92. Christmas this year, Cheryl.
Copy !req
93. Time to face facts.
Copy !req
94. We have no money.
Copy !req
95. Dad, what is that?
Copy !req
96. A letter from the Black Hood?
Copy !req
97. No, it's worse.
Copy !req
98. Riverdale General.
Copy !req
99. My hospital bill.
Copy !req
100. How much is it for?
Copy !req
101. - Eighty-six thousand.
Copy !req
102. - What, dollars?
Copy !req
103. That can't be right, can it?
Copy !req
104. Or doesn't your insurance—
Copy !req
105. They probably made a mistake.
Copy !req
106. I'll call them tomorrow.
Copy !req
107. Kevin's Secret Santa had
Copy !req
108. a strict $20 limit, V.
Copy !req
109. Kevin needs to relax.
Copy !req
110. Also, these aren't just
Copy !req
111. for Secret Santa, obvi.
Copy !req
112. I got an Hermes scarf
Copy !req
113. for my mom,
Copy !req
114. a leather passport case
Copy !req
115. for my dad, now that
Copy !req
116. he can travel again,
Copy !req
117. and a little something
Copy !req
118. for my best girl.
Copy !req
119. And a bauble for Archie.
Copy !req
120. Because you're getting
Copy !req
121. back together?
Copy !req
122. Because it was purchased
Copy !req
123. pre-breakup.
Copy !req
124. And haven't you heard?
Copy !req
125. We're still friends.
Copy !req
126. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
127. Isn't everyone?
Copy !req
128. I was thinking
Copy !req
129. about our Penny problem.
Copy !req
130. My problem, not ours.
Copy !req
131. Well, I am the one
Copy !req
132. she has on camera
Copy !req
133. delivering drugs.
Copy !req
134. How I deal with Peabody
Copy !req
135. is not your concern.
Copy !req
136. I'm handling it.
Copy !req
137. By pimping the Serpents out
Copy !req
138. as drug runners?
Copy !req
139. Boy!
Copy !req
140. Toss them in the corner.
Copy !req
141. Hey, what's in the bags,
Copy !req
142. Tall Boy?
Copy !req
143. Hey, what did I just say?
Copy !req
144. Mind your damn business
Copy !req
145. and get to school.
Copy !req
146. Veronica, it's your turn.
Copy !req
147. Oh. A gift certificate
Copy !req
148. for a couples' massage.
Copy !req
149. Thanks, Josie.
Copy !req
150. You can go with Betty,
Copy !req
151. or your mom...
Copy !req
152. Or I can go with your mom,
Copy !req
153. if you want.
Copy !req
154. Oh, dear God,
Copy !req
155. can we please get this
Copy !req
156. torture over with?
Copy !req
157. Betty, you're next
Copy !req
158. and mercifully last.
Copy !req
159. Well, I think I know who picked
Copy !req
160. my name based on these
Copy !req
161. wrapping skills.
Copy !req
162. Archie...
Copy !req
163. My dad and I
Copy !req
164. were cleaning out the garage
Copy !req
165. and I found it.
Copy !req
166. Swiss Family Robinson?
Copy !req
167. Yeah, It's this old
Copy !req
168. read-a-long record
Copy !req
169. we used to listen to
Copy !req
170. when we were, like, five.
Copy !req
171. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
172. I love it, Arch. Thank you.
Copy !req
173. Hey, Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
174. - Moose.
Copy !req
175. - Hi.
Copy !req
176. Why are you
Copy !req
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 about
Copy !req
182. is the Black Hood
Copy !req
183. and the pain he's caused
Copy !req
184. to the people I care about,
Copy !req
185. including you.
Copy !req
186. I know.
Copy !req
187. And the fact that
Copy !req
188. he's still out there
Copy !req
189. is giving me
Copy !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
196. Excuse me. Who are you?
Copy !req
197. You mean, my name?
Copy !req
198. Uh, where's Mr. Svenson?
Copy !req
199. No idea. He's been out
Copy !req
200. a few days,
Copy !req
201. they just called me in.
Copy !req
202. Arch, you and Veronica
Copy !req
203. confronted Mr. Svenson
Copy !req
204. about his connection
Copy !req
205. to the Black Hood.
Copy !req
206. And now he's not here.
Copy !req
207. What if something
Copy !req
208. happened to him?
Copy !req
209. Betty, we found out
Copy !req
210. Mr. Svenson's secret...
Copy !req
211. What if we led the Black Hood
Copy !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 week
Copy !req
216. with a cold.
Copy !req
217. Sounded terrible
Copy !req
218. on the phone.
Copy !req
219. So, I dropped off some
Copy !req
220. chicken soup at his house
Copy !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
225. he often gets this way
Copy !req
226. during the holidays.
Copy !req
227. You know, depressed.
Copy !req
228. No family.
Copy !req
229. Thank you.
Copy !req
230. I... stayed behind
Copy !req
231. because Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
232. Thank you.
Copy !req
233. I'm kinda sorry
Copy !req
234. for how it all went down
Copy !req
235. between us.
Copy !req
236. The Serpents,
Copy !req
237. my dad and I specifically,
Copy !req
238. are in a precarious place.
Copy !req
239. I...
Copy !req
240. I just don't want you
Copy !req
241. in those crosshairs.
Copy !req
242. That's not your decision
Copy !req
243. to make, Jughead.
Copy !req
244. Even if you think
Copy !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
250. Check on my dad.
Copy !req
251. Jug.
Copy !req
252. I got you something, too.
Copy !req
253. Archie.
Copy !req
254. I got you a little something.
Copy !req
255. Thanks.
Copy !req
256. - I didn't realize—
Copy !req
257. - Oh, no, no.
Copy !req
258. It's all good.
Copy !req
259. Just open it.
Copy !req
260. - Ronnie, this is—
Copy !req
261. - Turn it over.
Copy !req
262. I got it before...
Copy !req
263. I don't want things to be
Copy !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 know
Copy !req
269. that I still care about—
Copy !req
270. No, you didn't.
Copy !req
271. Things at home aren't great
Copy !req
272. right now.
Copy !req
273. It's my dad.
Copy !req
274. Anything I can do to help?
Copy !req
275. Come on.
Copy !req
276. We're still friends.
Copy !req
277. He just, he got his
Copy !req
278. hospital bill and he owes...
Copy !req
279. $86,000, Ronnie,
Copy !req
280. and it's like we are selling
Copy !req
281. Christmas trees,
Copy !req
282. just for extra money
Copy !req
283. so we can keep
Copy !req
284. our heads above water.
Copy !req
285. Oh, my God, Archie.
Copy !req
286. I want to help.
Copy !req
287. - I want to hug you.
Copy !req
288. - That's okay.
Copy !req
289. I shouldn't have said anything.
Copy !req
290. The watch is great, Ronnie.
Copy !req
291. Thank you.
Copy !req
292. Yeah.
Copy !req
293. What is all this?
Copy !req
294. It's a Serpent tradition.
Copy !req
295. Every year, we give back
Copy !req
296. to the Southside.
Copy !req
297. Toys for Tots.
Copy !req
298. Meals on Wheels,
Copy !req
299. kids and old folks
Copy !req
300. living alone.
Copy !req
301. The Hell's Angels do it.
Copy !req
302. I'm always down
Copy !req
303. for charitable works.
Copy !req
304. Hey, have you seen my dad?
Copy !req
305. Why aren't you in school?
Copy !req
306. It's a half-day before break.
Copy !req
307. Well, in that case,
Copy !req
308. you can hold down
Copy !req
309. the fort here, Jug.
Copy !req
310. Or I could come with you guys.
Copy !req
311. Nice try. The answer's no.
Copy !req
312. We do need another
Copy !req
313. set of hands, boss.
Copy !req
314. There you go.
Copy !req
315. Let me pull my weight.
Copy !req
316. Dad...
Copy !req
317. I don't know what
Copy !req
318. the Snake Charmer
Copy !req
319. has you doing...
Copy !req
320. Sweet Pea, you're with us.
Copy !req
321. Hey, Betty, what's up?
Copy !req
322. Hey, I can't let
Copy !req
323. this Svenson thing go.
Copy !req
324. I think we should stop
Copy !req
325. by his house and check up
Copy !req
326. on him.
Copy !req
327. Yeah, I agree.
Copy !req
328. Let me just tell my dad
Copy !req
329. and we'll go.
Copy !req
330. - Give me ten.
Copy !req
331. - All right.
Copy !req
332. Teen Paul Bunyan,
Copy !req
333. I'd like to purchase
Copy !req
334. your finest tree.
Copy !req
335. Actually, Cheryl,
Copy !req
336. I was just about
Copy !req
337. to take a break,
Copy !req
338. but Vic here
Copy !req
339. can help you. Vic.
Copy !req
340. What can I get you, miss?
Copy !req
341. We've got some nice spruces.
Copy !req
342. Well,
Copy !req
343. there's the chicken soup.
Copy !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 in
Copy !req
353. for a moment?
Copy !req
354. Like I have a choice.
Copy !req
355. Hiram. Was that
Copy !req
356. a Spiffany's bag I saw
Copy !req
357. coming through the lobby
Copy !req
358. earlier today?
Copy !req
359. It looked about the right size
Copy !req
360. for a Glamerge egg.
Copy !req
361. That depends, mi amor.
Copy !req
362. Have you been naughty
Copy !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 go
Copy !req
367. snooping for the gifts
Copy !req
368. this year. He hates that.
Copy !req
369. Santa can rip up
Copy !req
370. my list for all I care.
Copy !req
371. I mean, look at us,
Copy !req
372. throwing money away
Copy !req
373. on bejeweled eggs
Copy !req
374. like we're a family
Copy !req
375. of Russian oligarchs
Copy !req
376. when there are people
Copy !req
377. in this town who can't even
Copy !req
378. pay their own medical bills.
Copy !req
379. And since when
Copy !req
380. are you a communist?
Copy !req
381. Since Archie told me
Copy !req
382. that he and his dad
Copy !req
383. are drowning
Copy !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 Trust
Copy !req
391. has made its donations
Copy !req
392. for the fiscal year.
Copy !req
393. Fred Andrews will have
Copy !req
394. to tighten his belt.
Copy !req
395. Said Ebenezer Scrooge.
Copy !req
396. Fred's selling
Copy !req
397. Christmas trees
Copy !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 work
Copy !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 happy
Copy !req
409. Nana Rose is.
Copy !req
410. You spoiled,
Copy !req
411. wretched little brat,
Copy !req
412. how do you expect
Copy !req
413. to pay for all this?
Copy !req
414. I was thinking
Copy !req
415. maybe you could go
Copy !req
416. to Mr. Lodge for a job?
Copy !req
417. Of course, he'd probably ask
Copy !req
418. what skills you have,
Copy !req
419. and you'd be forced to admit
Copy !req
420. that the only skill you have
Copy !req
421. is being a terrible mother.
Copy !req
422. So, I guess you're going
Copy !req
423. to have to get creative
Copy !req
424. in the New Year.
Copy !req
425. You should've drowned them
Copy !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 some
Copy !req
432. gingerbread cookies,
Copy !req
433. Polly's favorite,
Copy !req
434. just in case
Copy !req
435. there's a Christmas miracle
Copy !req
436. and she comes home.
Copy !req
437. Oh, by the way,
Copy !req
438. there was a gift for you
Copy !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 finger
Copy !req
444. that belongs to the sinner
Copy !req
445. Joseph Conway..."
Copy !req
446. He's talking about
Copy !req
447. Mr. Svenson.
Copy !req
448. "You have one final trespass
Copy !req
449. to unearth.
Copy !req
450. Find the truth,
Copy !req
451. reveal it to the town,
Copy !req
452. and you will perhaps
Copy !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 nothing
Copy !req
463. compared to the blood
Copy !req
464. on the hands of this town.
Copy !req
465. Exhume the past.
Copy !req
466. Find where the primal sin
Copy !req
467. was committed
Copy !req
468. and you'll find
Copy !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. Svenson
Copy !req
476. possibly be guilty of?
Copy !req
477. Veronica and I talked
Copy !req
478. to him.
Copy !req
479. Betty, his entire family
Copy !req
480. was murdered by some
Copy !req
481. crazy preacher.
Copy !req
482. Well, maybe the people
Copy !req
483. who adopted him know
Copy !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 lived
Copy !req
488. as Joseph Conway
Copy !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 heard
Copy !req
504. that the Serpents are moving
Copy !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 thought
Copy !req
512. we'd take a ride to Toledo
Copy !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 weapons
Copy !req
518. or God knows what.
Copy !req
519. And how long
Copy !req
520. this is going to go on for?
Copy !req
521. As long as Penny wants.
Copy !req
522. And if her favors
Copy !req
523. keep getting bigger
Copy !req
524. which you know that they will,
Copy !req
525. what happens when she asks
Copy !req
526. for more Serpents in on this?
Copy !req
527. Then I'll bring
Copy !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 back
Copy !req
534. to Fred's or to Betty's.
Copy !req
535. Betty? I split with Betty—
Copy !req
536. Well then, what do you
Copy !req
537. want me to say?
Copy !req
538. I just want you
Copy !req
539. to let me help
Copy !req
540. fix this mess that I made.
Copy !req
541. Get this through
Copy !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 be
Copy !req
546. Penny's dancing monkey
Copy !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
550. I have a long night
Copy !req
551. ahead of me.
Copy !req
552. Yes, hello.
Copy !req
553. I'm calling to
Copy !req
554. settle an account
Copy !req
555. for one of your patients,
Copy !req
556. Fred Andrews.
Copy !req
557. Of course.
Copy !req
558. I'm his business partner.
Copy !req
559. I'd like to pay the bill
Copy !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
563. My name?
Copy !req
564. Hermione Apollonia Lodge.
Copy !req
565. And it's a Black American
Copy !req
566. Excess card.
Copy !req
567. Number 2-9-5-7-2-3-0...
Copy !req
568. Penny Peabody has got my dad
Copy !req
569. dealing drugs.
Copy !req
570. I know this,
Copy !req
571. 'cause she had me doing it
Copy !req
572. before him.
Copy !req
573. Now, she's roped in Tall Boy
Copy !req
574. and Sweet Pea.
Copy !req
575. Man, if you're pissed
Copy !req
576. because your old man
Copy !req
577. tapped me instead of you—
Copy !req
578. No, Sweet Pea.
Copy !req
579. I'm pissed because
Copy !req
580. I don't want the Serpents
Copy !req
581. to end up like the Ghoulies.
Copy !req
582. And I doubt that any of you
Copy !req
583. became Serpent
Copy !req
584. just to be at the beck and call
Copy !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 why
Copy !req
589. in the interest
Copy !req
590. of self-preservation,
Copy !req
591. we have to take out Penny.
Copy !req
592. Snake Charmer's helped
Copy !req
593. some of us.
Copy !req
594. Oh, yeah?
Copy !req
595. And what did
Copy !req
596. she ask for in return,
Copy !req
597. Sweet Pea, huh?
Copy !req
598. How many favors?
Copy !req
599. Now, if we don't stop
Copy !req
600. Penny tonight,
Copy !req
601. she is going to get
Copy !req
602. every single one of us
Copy !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 willing
Copy !req
607. to risk your necks
Copy !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 suffer
Copy !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 sister
Copy !req
628. escaped this dungeon,
Copy !req
629. she told me all about
Copy !req
630. the corporeal punishment.
Copy !req
631. So please, help us with this
Copy !req
632. or I'll expose
Copy !req
633. the Sisters of Quiet Mercy
Copy !req
634. for the house of horrors
Copy !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 group
Copy !req
641. of Riverdale's citizens
Copy !req
642. took matters
Copy !req
643. into their own hands
Copy !req
644. and, well, executed him.
Copy !req
645. It was only later
Copy !req
646. when he was with us,
Copy !req
647. that Joseph admitted
Copy !req
648. that in his terror and shock,
Copy !req
649. he may have pointed
Copy !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 sentencing
Copy !req
654. the wrong man to death.
Copy !req
655. Did Svenson, did Conway
Copy !req
656. ever talk about
Copy !req
657. who carried out
Copy !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 men
Copy !req
662. and one woman.
Copy !req
663. I don't know their names
Copy !req
664. and I can't remember
Copy !req
665. what they look like.
Copy !req
666. Just that the woman
Copy !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 it
Copy !req
678. in case I needed to pry
Copy !req
679. the door open.
Copy !req
680. - Well, are you gonna
Copy !req
681. give me hand with this stuff?
Copy !req
682. Your dad will be here
Copy !req
683. in like what,
Copy !req
684. 15, 20 minutes.
Copy !req
685. He probably won't be
Copy !req
686. too happy to see you, huh?
Copy !req
687. I wouldn't worry about that.
Copy !req
688. Neither of us
Copy !req
689. are going to be here.
Copy !req
690. Is this suppose
Copy !req
691. to scare me?
Copy !req
692. I would not do this
Copy !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 some
Copy !req
699. last minute shopping?
Copy !req
700. We were, but then we got
Copy !req
701. the most fascinating call
Copy !req
702. from our bank,
Copy !req
703. confirming a charge
Copy !req
704. that was made
Copy !req
705. to my credit card
Copy !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 decided
Copy !req
710. that you would cover
Copy !req
711. Fred's medical expenses.
Copy !req
712. I mean, if you can afford
Copy !req
713. to buy Pop's,
Copy !req
714. and then lie to my face
Copy !req
715. about it.
Copy !req
716. So, how is it that
Copy !req
717. we can now suddenly
Copy !req
718. afford an entire diner?
Copy !req
719. You wanted a more active role
Copy !req
720. in Lodge Industries
Copy !req
721. and we let you have it.
Copy !req
722. Then you break into my office
Copy !req
723. and try to use
Copy !req
724. whatever you find
Copy !req
725. as leverage?
Copy !req
726. Now, I admit,
Copy !req
727. there's a lot you don't know
Copy !req
728. and that's on purpose.
Copy !req
729. How can I be part
Copy !req
730. of this family if you keep
Copy !req
731. hiding things from me?
Copy !req
732. Mija, you think you want
Copy !req
733. to know everything,
Copy !req
734. but you don't.
Copy !req
735. My name is on all of those
Copy !req
736. documents in your desk, Daddy,
Copy !req
737. doesn't that mean
Copy !req
738. I have the right to know?
Copy !req
739. Yes. Yes, it does, Veronica.
Copy !req
740. But that means the time
Copy !req
741. for being Daddy's little girl
Copy !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 know
Copy !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 where
Copy !req
755. you set up shop.
Copy !req
756. But it's not gonna be
Copy !req
757. in Riverdale
Copy !req
758. and it's not going to be
Copy !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 says
Copy !req
767. you can't hurt
Copy !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't
Copy !req
776. make you a Serpent.
Copy !req
777. No!
Copy !req
778. Cheryl, we need to see
Copy !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 have
Copy !req
784. some questions for you
Copy !req
785. about something that happened
Copy !req
786. in Riverdale a long time ago.
Copy !req
787. A man killed this family
Copy !req
788. and a group of people
Copy !req
789. decided to take justice
Copy !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 part
Copy !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 life
Copy !req
799. is at stake.
Copy !req
800. Were you
Copy !req
801. with this group when they...
Copy !req
802. When you killed this man
Copy !req
803. for revenge?
Copy !req
804. Oh, no.
Copy !req
805. No girls allowed.
Copy !req
806. They told me to stay at home
Copy !req
807. while they took care
Copy !req
808. of the bad man.
Copy !req
809. Nana Rose,
Copy !req
810. this is so important.
Copy !req
811. Where did they hang
Copy !req
812. the bad man?
Copy !req
813. Oh, they didn't hang him.
Copy !req
814. Oh, no. They gave him
Copy !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 under
Copy !req
825. the Devil's Hand.
Copy !req
826. Picture? What picture?
Copy !req
827. Cheryl.
Copy !req
828. I wonder if you might
Copy !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 grandfather
Copy !req
835. helped murder an innocent man.
Copy !req
836. Betty, who even knows
Copy !req
837. if what she was saying is true.
Copy !req
838. That picture
Copy !req
839. Nana Rose mentioned,
Copy !req
840. when Grandpa Louis died,
Copy !req
841. we packed up his house
Copy !req
842. and we donated
Copy !req
843. most of his stuff
Copy !req
844. but he had pictures,
Copy !req
845. and we kept them
Copy !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 man
Copy !req
855. in cold blood, an innocent man.
Copy !req
856. What if that's why
Copy !req
857. he picked me,
Copy !req
858. the Black Hood?
Copy !req
859. That's why
Copy !req
860. he has been calling me.
Copy !req
861. - Revenge for something
Copy !req
862. I didn't even do—
Copy !req
863. - Betty, listen to me.
Copy !req
864. This is the part
Copy !req
865. where we end this.
Copy !req
866. Where we save Mr. Svenson
Copy !req
867. and stop the Black Hood
Copy !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 gonna
Copy !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 do
Copy !req
890. anything illegal.
Copy !req
891. Well, that's fine,
Copy !req
892. especially since we're not
Copy !req
893. doing anything illegal either.
Copy !req
894. Let me share
Copy !req
895. two words to live by.
Copy !req
896. "Plausible deniability."
Copy !req
897. Also,
Copy !req
898. that charge I made
Copy !req
899. for Fred's medical bills?
Copy !req
900. I want that to stick.
Copy !req
901. Mija, it's gonna complicate
Copy !req
902. matters, Fred's a proud man.
Copy !req
903. - He's not—
Copy !req
904. - We'll smooth
Copy !req
905. that over, though.
Copy !req
906. And the truth is,
Copy !req
907. we'll need Fred
Copy !req
908. for what comes next.
Copy !req
909. Fine.
Copy !req
910. Assuming the Fred situation
Copy !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 up
Copy !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 something
Copy !req
923. about that?
Copy !req
924. She's gone, Dad.
Copy !req
925. I rallied
Copy !req
926. the younger Serpents,
Copy !req
927. we drove her
Copy !req
928. out of Riverdale.
Copy !req
929. And I got my pound of flesh
Copy !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 me
Copy !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 wanted
Copy !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 away
Copy !req
955. from me.
Copy !req
956. Nana Rose said
Copy !req
957. it was a group of men.
Copy !req
958. I mean, there was one photo
Copy !req
959. that I kind of remember.
Copy !req
960. Dad said it was taken
Copy !req
961. after Grandpa Louis
Copy !req
962. and some of his friends
Copy !req
963. had planted some trees
Copy !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 buried
Copy !req
969. the preacher.
Copy !req
970. Where Svenson could be
Copy !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 Keller
Copy !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 Hood
Copy !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 coffin
Copy !req
987. or I shoot her
Copy !req
988. in the head.
Copy !req
989. Right now!
Copy !req
990. Shut the coffin
Copy !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't
Copy !req
997. make me.
Copy !req
998. We know
Copy !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 what
Copy !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 father
Copy !req
1019. and my friends.
Copy !req
1020. You are going to pay
Copy !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 demanded
Copy !req
1032. blood for blood.
Copy !req
1033. Give me the gun.
Copy !req
1034. Your instinct
Copy !req
1035. about Svenson
Copy !req
1036. was right, Ronnie.
Copy !req
1037. You thought
Copy !req
1038. he was the Black Hood.
Copy !req
1039. We could have ended it,
Copy !req
1040. right there at school
Copy !req
1041. where we confronted him.
Copy !req
1042. I didn't see it.
Copy !req
1043. I didn't, I didn't
Copy !req
1044. see it in his eyes.
Copy !req
1045. Forget his eyes.
Copy !req
1046. I can't believe he cut off
Copy !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 accused
Copy !req
1052. an innocent man
Copy !req
1053. of murdering his family
Copy !req
1054. and got the man killed.
Copy !req
1055. So maybe,
Copy !req
1056. in some backwards way,
Copy !req
1057. he thought targeting
Copy !req
1058. sinners would balance
Copy !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 me
Copy !req
1066. and Ms. Grundy
Copy !req
1067. in the music room.
Copy !req
1068. Yeah, he could have seen
Copy !req
1069. Moose and Midge
Copy !req
1070. buying jingle-jangle.
Copy !req
1071. Guys, this is starting
Copy !req
1072. to feel like that weird
Copy !req
1073. last scene in Psycho.
Copy !req
1074. The truth is...
Copy !req
1075. I have nothing actually.
Copy !req
1076. Except that he's in a body bag
Copy !req
1077. and we aren't.
Copy !req
1078. I think that's enough
Copy !req
1079. for tonight.
Copy !req
1080. Mother. Nana.
Copy !req
1081. Is it time to open presents?
Copy !req
1082. Santa?
Copy !req
1083. Who's this one from?
Copy !req
1084. Archie.
Copy !req
1085. He dropped it off yesterday.
Copy !req
1086. Let me guess
Copy !req
1087. that's from Betty.
Copy !req
1088. Vintage Underwood.
Copy !req
1089. It's the typewriter
Copy !req
1090. of champions.
Copy !req
1091. You maybe, uh,
Copy !req
1092. want to swing by later?
Copy !req
1093. Say thanks in person.
Copy !req
1094. Oh, I'll just probably
Copy !req
1095. call her or text her.
Copy !req
1096. that sounds amazing, Mom.
Copy !req
1097. Yeah, it's been,
Copy !req
1098. it's been quiet.
Copy !req
1099. You, too.
Copy !req
1100. I love you, too, Mom.
Copy !req
1101. All right, here's Dad.
Copy !req
1102. Hey, there.
Copy !req
1103. Merry Christmas, lady.
Copy !req
1104. How are the Bahamas?
Copy !req
1105. Merry Christmas.
Copy !req
1106. Look up.
Copy !req
1107. Mistletoe alert.
Copy !req
1108. Hung by moi.
Copy !req
1109. Now we have no choice
Copy !req
1110. but to kiss.
Copy !req
1111. Archie.
Copy !req
1112. You are so good.
Copy !req
1113. It's like you are
Copy !req
1114. filled with it,
Copy !req
1115. and I know that I need
Copy !req
1116. goodness in my life.
Copy !req
1117. I need you in my life.
Copy !req
1118. In other words,
Copy !req
1119. I love you, too,
Copy !req
1120. Archie Andrews.
Copy !req
1121. And so,
Copy !req
1122. another mystery
Copy !req
1123. was wrapped up
Copy !req
1124. in a neat, tidy bow,
Copy !req
1125. just in time for Christmas.
Copy !req
1126. Throughout the Black Hood's
Copy !req
1127. reign of terror,
Copy !req
1128. Betty had stared
Copy !req
1129. into the blackest of voids.
Copy !req
1130. The place where
Copy !req
1131. Joseph Conway's soul had once,
Copy !req
1132. perhaps existed.
Copy !req
1133. And in that void,
Copy !req
1134. she'd seen
Copy !req
1135. a dark reflection,
Copy !req
1136. a truth that could
Copy !req
1137. not be burned away.
Copy !req
1138. A truth that whispered
Copy !req
1139. to her,
Copy !req
1140. "This isn't over."
Copy !req
