1. Previously on
Riverdale...
Copy !req
2. I burned your drugs
and equipment.
Copy !req
3. You owe me $75,000, Veronica.
Copy !req
4. Now my buyer is coming,
and they are gonna want blood.
Copy !req
5. - Here's your money.
- Then we'll figure out a payment plan for the rest.
Copy !req
6. - What's this?
- A gang.
Copy !req
7. The Pretty Poisons.
Copy !req
8. Is this gang mine, or yours?
Copy !req
9. It's... yours.
Copy !req
10. Start by quitting
the speakeasy.
Copy !req
11. Forget about protecting
Lodge's daughter.
Copy !req
12. If you don't get your house in order,
the Serpents' little piece of the pie
Copy !req
13. is gonna get smaller.
You need numbers.
Copy !req
14. Are you Kurtz? If you and
your Gargoyles join my gang,
Copy !req
15. I can promise you immunity
from the sheriff's office.
Copy !req
16. You are all just sacrifices
waiting to be made.
Copy !req
17. This symbol the Warden branded on
Archie's hip, what does it mean?
Copy !req
18. Sacrifice.
Copy !req
19. it meant that Archie
had to die.
Copy !req
20. Gargoyles aren't the answer.
I don't want 'em anywhere near us.
Copy !req
21. - I did what you couldn't.
- This is a bad idea.
Copy !req
22. I know you guys will find
a way to work together.
Copy !req
23. After what happened with Moose,
and him leaving town,
Copy !req
24. Evelyn started talking to me.
Copy !req
25. Tell me you're not thinking
about actually joining the Farm.
Copy !req
26. We are gathered here tonight to
celebrate the baptizing of Alice Smith.
Copy !req
27. They tried
to kill you, Mom.
Copy !req
28. No, I saw it. My destiny.
I'm gonna sell this house.
Copy !req
29. We're gonna all be together.
Copy !req
30. Mid-century colonial,
Copy !req
31. on a quiet elm-lined street.
Copy !req
32. Three bedrooms, four baths.
Copy !req
33. Perfect for families.
Copy !req
34. Plenty of storage,
and generous closet space.
Copy !req
35. Welcome. I'm Alice Smith.
Copy !req
36. Come in.
Copy !req
37. You will be happy here.
Copy !req
38. First off, I'd like to say that this is
a wonderful place to raise a family.
Copy !req
39. Many a fort were built by my
two girls in this very room.
Copy !req
40. And bonus.
Copy !req
41. It's also where my serial killer
father showed us creepy snuff films.
Copy !req
42. Elizabeth,
shouldn't you be at school?
Copy !req
43. We have wonderful schools
in this district.
Copy !req
44. Oh, I see that you're eyeing
the fireplace,
Copy !req
45. which is original to the house.
Copy !req
46. Yes, and comes with
fun accessories,
Copy !req
47. like the shovel my mother used
to knock out my father.
Copy !req
48. The notorious serial killer.
The Black Hood.
Copy !req
49. It's true. You can google it.
Copy !req
50. But make sure you look up Alice Cooper,
and not Alice Smith.
Copy !req
51. It's all there.
Or try murder house on Elm Street.
Copy !req
52. It's this house.
Copy !req
53. Don't they got a gym
at your school?
Copy !req
54. Is there a problem, Mo?
Copy !req
55. Yeah.
Copy !req
56. I need you
to start paying dues.
Copy !req
57. Yeah. No, I get that.
Copy !req
58. - It's just that...
- Or, you could...
Copy !req
59. Help out here.
Sweep the place up.
Copy !req
60. Take the trash out,
Copy !req
61. - lock up at night.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
62. That sounds great.
Thank you, Mo.
Copy !req
63. Um...
Copy !req
64. excuse us.
Copy !req
65. Sorry to interrupt your game...
Copy !req
66. But this room is reserved for the Farm
from 3:00 to 4:00 every Wednesday.
Copy !req
67. Not every Wednesday,
you daughter of Manson.
Copy !req
68. The third Wednesday
of every month is reserved
Copy !req
69. for monthly Student
Council/LGBTQIA meetings.
Copy !req
70. I didn't see your name on
Mrs. Bell's activity calendar.
Copy !req
71. You dare lecture me, your Student Council
President, on rules and procedures?
Copy !req
72. If this were the 18th century,
I'd have you beheaded.
Copy !req
73. Hey, bitches,
Copy !req
74. we're in the middle of
a quest here.
Copy !req
75. Go crawl back to the freak show
from whence you came, you abomination.
Copy !req
76. Hey, what the hell's going on
over there?
Copy !req
77. The Gargoyles are mixing it up
with the Poisons and the Farmies.
Copy !req
78. Is this a high school
or a Roger Corman movie?
Copy !req
79. What do you two
have to say for yourselves?
Copy !req
80. The fight had already started
when we got there, sir.
Copy !req
81. We were trying to break up
the fight.
Copy !req
82. Mr. Jones, Ms. Topaz,
you're the leaders of your respective gangs,
Copy !req
83. and today's brawl is only the most recent
incident of gang activity at Riverdale High.
Copy !req
84. Someone robbed
the Chemistry lab last night.
Copy !req
85. - Someone robbed the lab?
- Thousands of dollars of equipment was taken.
Copy !req
86. All of which could be used
to cook drugs.
Copy !req
87. The Serpents
don't cook, or steal.
Copy !req
88. Neither do the Pretty Poisons.
Copy !req
89. One more strike.
Copy !req
90. One more strike!
Copy !req
91. And you're done in my school.
Copy !req
92. Ooh. All good, boss?
Copy !req
93. Need me to bounce someone?
Copy !req
94. Would that it were
so simple, Reggie.
Copy !req
95. Mija, my guests
would like another round.
Copy !req
96. Big night for you fellas, huh?
Copy !req
97. Yeah, important
prospective clients
Copy !req
98. need to be properly courted.
Copy !req
99. I see. So, should I be putting all of
this on your American Excess, Daddy?
Copy !req
100. What are you talking about?
These are comped, of course.
Copy !req
101. Daddy, you've been here for hours.
This is a huge bill.
Copy !req
102. And you owe me a huge debt.
Copy !req
103. So, again...
Copy !req
104. This is comped.
Copy !req
105. Reggie, man the bar.
Copy !req
106. How the hell
did we get here, Reggie?
Copy !req
107. Gladys and my dad are running
roughshod over La Bonne Nuit.
Copy !req
108. And I don't have any leverage because
I owe them both so much money.
Copy !req
109. And literally every dollar we make is
going straight into their pockets.
Copy !req
110. We need a line
on a new cash cow.
Copy !req
111. Wait. There was one night
Copy !req
112. when we raked in exponentially
more money than every other night.
Copy !req
113. The casino night we hosted
with Elio.
Copy !req
114. - A casino?
- We'd be able to pay off our debts in weeks.
Copy !req
115. Instead of years.
Copy !req
116. You think we can pull that off?
Copy !req
117. I mean, we're already running
a secret speakeasy, Reggie.
Copy !req
118. - Right?
- Right.
Copy !req
119. What'd they do?
Make you manager?
Copy !req
120. No, more like janitor.
Copy !req
121. I'm almost done.
Copy !req
122. I was thinking maybe we could grab
a bite at Pop's or something?
Copy !req
123. Perfect. I'm starving.
Copy !req
124. What is that?
Copy !req
125. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
126. What the hell are you
doing in here? Who are you?
Copy !req
127. Archie, take it easy.
Copy !req
128. Hey. What's your name?
Copy !req
129. - Ricky.
- Ricky.
Copy !req
130. Are... Are you hungry?
Copy !req
131. Starving.
Copy !req
132. Uh, so, Ricky...
Copy !req
133. Where are your parents?
Copy !req
134. Don't know. Never knew 'em.
Copy !req
135. How long you been holing up
in that cubby?
Copy !req
136. On and off for a few weeks.
Copy !req
137. Ricky, is there anyone
we should call? Any family?
Copy !req
138. No, I don't have anybody.
Copy !req
139. Maybe we should try Betty.
Copy !req
140. She knows people at Social Services.
They would know what to do...
Copy !req
141. Hey. Ricky! Ricky.
Copy !req
142. Hey. What's going on?
Copy !req
143. You... you can't call
Social Services.
Copy !req
144. - Okay.
- Why not?
Copy !req
145. Because they send me
to this place, a shelter, okay?
Copy !req
146. I don't wanna go back.
Copy !req
147. Okay, what shelter?
Copy !req
148. The Santa Lucia Shelter.
Copy !req
149. Did they do something
to you there?
Copy !req
150. That is the same brand...
Copy !req
151. I got at
Leopold and Loeb, yeah.
Copy !req
152. All right, Ricky,
who gave you that?
Copy !req
153. Some older guys at the shelter.
Copy !req
154. They didn't live there,
but they did crash there, and...
Copy !req
155. one night I woke up, and they were
holding me down and branding my arm.
Copy !req
156. And that's when
I left the shelter.
Copy !req
157. All right, heater's on.
Copy !req
158. Here's some extra blankets
if you get cold.
Copy !req
159. And there's soda and food
in the fridge if you need it.
Copy !req
160. What are you gonna
tell your parents?
Copy !req
161. Well, it's just me and my dad.
Copy !req
162. He's at work most of the time
and the garage is kinda my space.
Copy !req
163. So you probably won't see him.
Copy !req
164. Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna take you back
to Pop's and get you set up in a booth.
Copy !req
165. After school,
I'm gonna take you to the gym.
Copy !req
166. Teach you some moves, okay?
Some combos.
Copy !req
167. So you can defend yourself.
Copy !req
168. Why are you helping me?
Copy !req
169. Because, Ricky,
Copy !req
170. I've been in your shoes.
Copy !req
171. Alone, on the run,
Copy !req
172. and I was lucky enough to have friends
who helped me get through that time.
Copy !req
173. Just... You swear
Copy !req
174. you won't call Social Services.
Copy !req
175. I swear.
Copy !req
176. Goodnight.
Copy !req
177. - Light on or off?
- On.
Copy !req
178. If that's okay.
Copy !req
179. What's going on with you, T.T.?
Copy !req
180. Has my beauty
rendered you silent?
Copy !req
181. Or, are you still in a mood about
your sit down with Weatherbee?
Copy !req
182. Well, if I'm being honest...
Copy !req
183. yeah.
Copy !req
184. I had that classroom reserved
as Student Body President.
Copy !req
185. - Babe, you wear many hats...
- Stunningly.
Copy !req
186. But when you put on that purple jacket,
you represent our gang.
Copy !req
187. And now Weatherbee's
out for our blood?
Copy !req
188. - I can handle Weatherbee.
- Cheryl...
Copy !req
189. I don't wanna have to suspend
anyone for loose cannon behavior.
Copy !req
190. Least of all my own girlfriend.
Copy !req
191. Agreed.
Copy !req
192. That would make hosting Pretty Poisons
meetings at my house incredibly awkward.
Copy !req
193. Don't you think?
Copy !req
194. Unless you have another
headquarters in mind.
Copy !req
195. With a pool.
Copy !req
196. The girls can't wait
for summer.
Copy !req
197. What's the update
on the home front, Bee?
Copy !req
198. My mom's still trying
to sell the house.
Copy !req
199. I'm still trying to
sabotage her, but
Copy !req
200. it's only a matter of time before she finds
some ghoul who wants to live in a death house.
Copy !req
201. What's with Kev?
Copy !req
202. The Farm, Arch.
They got him, too.
Copy !req
203. And up next, my house.
Copy !req
204. Well, my offer still stands.
I know that my trailer is cramped,
Copy !req
205. but you're more than welcome
to stay with me.
Copy !req
206. You're always welcome
at the Pembroke, Bee.
Copy !req
207. You can crash at my place, too.
Copy !req
208. I mean, I've already got a homeless
kid sleeping in my garage.
Copy !req
209. Yeah, his name's Ricky.
He ran away from a group home,
Copy !req
210. and was squatting at the gym,
and that's how I found him.
Copy !req
211. Sounds like me, sophomore year.
Copy !req
212. Guys, he has a branding
on his arm.
Copy !req
213. The same one the Warden gave me when I
was in juvie. It says he a sacrifice.
Copy !req
214. - Oh, my God.
- Is he playing G&G?
Copy !req
215. I don't know.
Copy !req
216. I left him at Pop's
for the day.
Copy !req
217. Arch, maybe you should call
Ms. Weiss.
Copy !req
218. We know her.
We know she'd find him a good family.
Copy !req
219. Yeah.
Copy !req
220. Yeah. Would you mind
sending me her number?
Copy !req
221. Mm-hm.
Copy !req
222. Kev, can we talk?
Copy !req
223. That depends.
What about, Betty?
Copy !req
224. Just, we haven't checked in
with each other recently.
Copy !req
225. God, you are so transparent.
Copy !req
226. Okay, fine. Can we talk about the
fact that you joined the Farm?
Copy !req
227. And I don't wanna see you disappear down
the same rabbit hole that my mom did,
Copy !req
228. because she's gone, Kev.
Copy !req
229. She's selling our house.
Copy !req
230. Back off, Betty.
Copy !req
231. You are a detractor.
Copy !req
232. Better just back off.
Copy !req
233. All right, Serpents,
let's get right to it.
Copy !req
234. Any of you guys know about the
break in to the Chemistry lab?
Copy !req
235. Kurtz,
what are you smiling about?
Copy !req
236. Just thinking how looting the
alchemist lair was one of our more
Copy !req
237. rewarding quests.
Copy !req
238. Are you serious?
Copy !req
239. You did that as part of
a G&G game?
Copy !req
240. You realize Weatherbee's gunning for us now,
right, moron?
Copy !req
241. You promised us immunity.
Copy !req
242. Not when you go and
flagrantly break the law.
Copy !req
243. - You're gonna return that equipment.
- The hell I am.
Copy !req
244. Freakin' Fizzle Rock junkie!
Copy !req
245. You wanna go right now?
Copy !req
246. Don't think that we've forgotten
about you spying on the Gargoyles.
Copy !req
247. I should have beaten you over the head with
that branding iron when I had the chance.
Copy !req
248. All right! Back down!
Both of you, right now!
Copy !req
249. Whatever bad blood existed between
the Serpents and the Gargoyles,
Copy !req
250. it's over!
We're all Serpents now.
Copy !req
251. You know,
I think it's high time
Copy !req
252. our newer members
learned about our laws.
Copy !req
253. Is this for real?
Copy !req
254. Repeat after me.
In unity, there is strength.
Copy !req
255. In unity,
there's strength.
Copy !req
256. I can't hear you, Kurtz.
Copy !req
257. You wanna try that again?
Copy !req
258. I play by a different set
of rules.
Copy !req
259. Then you're out of the gang.
Copy !req
260. You came to me.
Copy !req
261. Remember?
Copy !req
262. Your mother came to me.
Copy !req
263. Invited us into the Serpents.
Copy !req
264. And looking around,
Copy !req
265. you need us
more than we need you.
Copy !req
266. So, if you're rescinding
what you promised us,
Copy !req
267. then you better come up
with something better to offer.
Copy !req
268. Before we decide
to throw you guys
Copy !req
269. out of our gang.
Copy !req
270. Welcome friends,
to the casino at La Bonne Nuit.
Copy !req
271. Pretty sick, right?
Copy !req
272. We've got poker on the floor,
Copy !req
273. blackjack at the bar,
Copy !req
274. nickel and quarter slots
along the wall,
Copy !req
275. and a horse race-themed
wheel of chance in the corner.
Copy !req
276. I got dibs on spinning it.
Copy !req
277. It goes without saying that discretion
is of the utmost importance.
Copy !req
278. We don't want the po-po
sniffing around down here.
Copy !req
279. - Capisce?
- The question has to be asked.
Copy !req
280. What if we're raided?
Copy !req
281. We have made upgrades
to the place
Copy !req
282. that account for such a threat.
Reginald?
Copy !req
283. At which point I bat my eyelids
and say,
Copy !req
284. "What secret casino, Officer?"
Copy !req
285. You know that B&E
at Riverdale High?
Copy !req
286. Yeah, Weatherbee called me.
What about it?
Copy !req
287. It was the Gargoyles.
Copy !req
288. - I figured as much.
- They're starting fights,
Copy !req
289. they're playing G&G.
Copy !req
290. You know
they outnumber us now?
Copy !req
291. The original Serpents.
Copy !req
292. The Gargoyles hold the majority.
Copy !req
293. Your mom and her brilliant ideas.
Copy !req
294. Problem is they have no honor.
Copy !req
295. There's no duty.
There's no sense of purpose.
Copy !req
296. And it finally made me realize,
in turn, the bigger issue,
Copy !req
297. and it's been this way
for a while.
Copy !req
298. - Neither do the Serpents.
- We talked about this, boy.
Copy !req
299. You gotta figure out what your
version of the Serpents is gonna be.
Copy !req
300. You gotta give them,
Copy !req
301. and now the Gargoyles,
a reason
Copy !req
302. to wake up every day, to put that jacket
on and wear it with pride.
Copy !req
303. Or chaos will ensue.
Copy !req
304. When the bad guys
outnumber you...
Copy !req
305. you gotta out think 'em.
Copy !req
306. And give your crew something that
they can sink their teeth into.
Copy !req
307. Looking for your friend?
Copy !req
308. Hey, Pop, yeah.
What happened to him? Where'd he go?
Copy !req
309. A group of thugs came by,
Copy !req
310. saw him through the window,
started banging on the glass.
Copy !req
311. - Oh, no.
- Never seen someone run so fast.
Copy !req
312. - Into the kitchen, out the back door.
- What about the thugs?
Copy !req
313. Circled around.
Took off after him.
Copy !req
314. - Crap!
- Archie...
Copy !req
315. he left something behind.
Copy !req
316. He'd been drawing on
a placemat.
Copy !req
317. What do you mean?
Drawing what?
Copy !req
318. That's difficult
with runaways, Archie.
Copy !req
319. A lot of them end up hitchhiking
to Centreville, joining gangs.
Copy !req
320. Often it's because they've rejected
our help and efforts to place them.
Copy !req
321. Well, actually he was in
foster care before.
Copy !req
322. - Wasn't he, Arch?
- Yeah. A place called Santa Lucia Shelter.
Copy !req
323. I know them.
It's one of the better home in town.
Copy !req
324. Well, Ricky said some of
the people there hurt him,
Copy !req
325. - and branded a symbol into his arm.
- Gang-related?
Copy !req
326. We've been seeing that
more and more.
Copy !req
327. Gryphons and Gargoyles might not be in the
news anymore, but it's everywhere else.
Copy !req
328. Did he look
something like this?
Copy !req
329. Damn. Yeah.
Yeah, that's him.
Copy !req
330. I'll make some phone calls.
Copy !req
331. If we can find a match in the database,
we'll track him down sooner or later.
Copy !req
332. Either way,
I'll be in touch.
Copy !req
333. Thank you, Ms. Weiss.
Copy !req
334. Can I make some copies of that?
Copy !req
335. Mija.
Copy !req
336. Word on the street is that you've
turned your speakeasy into a casino.
Copy !req
337. - Is that what your spies tell you?
- Hmm.
Copy !req
338. It's actually a fortuitous turn
of events.
Copy !req
339. - How so?
- Well, I'm in the process of courting the business
Copy !req
340. of a gentleman who owns
a playing card company.
Copy !req
341. And I'm pitching him the idea of
moving production from his factory
Copy !req
342. to my prison.
Copy !req
343. He gets to produce those fine
cards for pennies on the dollar,
Copy !req
344. and my for-profit prison
inmates earn a small wage.
Copy !req
345. Allowing you to rake in
a tidy sum.
Copy !req
346. - Mmm.
- That's shady, Daddy.
Copy !req
347. At any rate, I'd love to bring him to
your casino to show him a good time.
Copy !req
348. And I trust you'll make him
feel important?
Copy !req
349. I always do, Daddy.
Copy !req
350. But if I help you land
this mega client,
Copy !req
351. how 'bout you shave off
some of my debt?
Copy !req
352. Say, five percent?
Copy !req
353. I'll consider it.
Copy !req
354. You know, you probably
don't know this about me,
Copy !req
355. but when I was your age,
Copy !req
356. I used to perform
at The Whyte Wyrm.
Copy !req
357. Yeah, I was kinda like
the Joan Jett of Riverdale.
Copy !req
358. And now, let me guess,
you're looking to make a comeback.
Copy !req
359. I got an itch to scratch,
yeah.
Copy !req
360. What do you think?
Copy !req
361. I'd like a little something
in return.
Copy !req
362. 5 percent shaved off the debt
I owe you.
Copy !req
363. I can make that work.
Copy !req
364. See ya, kids.
Copy !req
365. Hey, Josie,
I'm sorry to interrupt.
Copy !req
366. Can I talk to you
about something?
Copy !req
367. Yeah. For sure.
Copy !req
368. Uh...
Copy !req
369. have you noticed
Kevin has gotten in
Copy !req
370. very deep, very fast
with the Farm?
Copy !req
371. And last night
as I was leaving school,
Copy !req
372. I saw him holding his hand
over a Bunsen burner,
Copy !req
373. along with a bunch of other
Farmies doing the same.
Copy !req
374. Kevin.
Copy !req
375. Groups like the Farm, cults,
Copy !req
376. prey on emotionally
vulnerable people.
Copy !req
377. That's why I think
they targeted Kevin.
Copy !req
378. Okay, well...
Copy !req
379. I haven't told my mom,
Copy !req
380. or Mr. Keller, but...
Copy !req
381. Over the last week,
I have heard Kevin sneaking out at night.
Copy !req
382. And I assumed he was going
back to Fox Forest, but...
Copy !req
383. maybe he's going to meet them.
Copy !req
384. You weren't kidding.
Copy !req
385. - This kid's into some really dark stuff.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
386. Got a sketch of him, too.
Copy !req
387. Pop Tate said some thugs
chased him outta the diner.
Copy !req
388. Thugs?
Copy !req
389. - You mean gang members?
- Yeah, probably.
Copy !req
390. Didn't you just recruit
a bunch of Gargoyles?
Copy !req
391. More like my mom did,
but yeah.
Copy !req
392. Well, are they
still playing G&G?
Copy !req
393. His name's Ricky.
Copy !req
394. Doesn anybody recognize him?
Copy !req
395. Well, he's in trouble,
so we're gonna help Archie find him.
Copy !req
396. We'll break the town into sections
and we'll split up the work.
Copy !req
397. You want us to go looking
for some dumb kid?
Copy !req
398. Was it your crew
that came after him at Pop's?
Copy !req
399. - Looking to make him a sacrifice?
- No.
Copy !req
400. Dude, we have other business
of the chemical kind.
Copy !req
401. But there are others out there.
Copy !req
402. Outliers who broke away
when we joined the Serpents.
Copy !req
403. You mean, there are Gargoyles out
there that are even crazier than you?
Copy !req
404. Will you shut up?
Copy !req
405. If what you're saying is true, then that's all
the more reason that we need to find him fast.
Copy !req
406. Yeah, you better get to it then.
Copy !req
407. We'll help look.
Copy !req
408. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
409. we have a very special treat
for you tonight.
Copy !req
410. Making her debut
at La Bonne Nuit,
Copy !req
411. Ms. Gladys Jones.
Copy !req
412. Come on, when's
the real show start?
Copy !req
413. Wait, wait, wait...
Copy !req
414. That dude's being
a total asshat.
Copy !req
415. I know, but he's also a VIP.
Copy !req
416. So, you've got good pipes, yeah?
Why don't you give Gladys some tips.
Copy !req
417. Oh, I'll give her a tip, all right.
Copy !req
418. Oh, yeah? And I got
a sharp tip for you boys, too.
Copy !req
419. - Okay, now you can throw him out.
- On it.
Copy !req
420. - All right.
- I'm gonna ask you to leave, bro.
Copy !req
421. Are you kiddin' me?
Cheekbones here is bouncing me?
Copy !req
422. - That's it. Come on.
- Get your hands off!
Copy !req
423. Veronica...
Copy !req
424. I hope you didn't just cost
me a million-dollar deal.
Copy !req
425. Once you start crossing
the threshold, you can't stop.
Copy !req
426. That's the key.
Copy !req
427. You must believe
that you will be protected.
Copy !req
428. Believe that you will
be forged.
Copy !req
429. Only through the fire can we be
cleansed and leave our past behind.
Copy !req
430. Conquer our fears, expiate our sins,
exorcise our demons.
Copy !req
431. Brother Kevin...
Copy !req
432. it's your turn.
Copy !req
433. Oh, my God. Kevin!
Copy !req
434. Kevin, don't! Kev, stop!
Copy !req
435. No. Brother Kevin, don't stop.
Copy !req
436. Believe in yourself.
Believe in the Farm.
Copy !req
437. Believe that the embers
are a cool mountain stream.
Copy !req
438. Rejoice!
Copy !req
439. Brother Kevin!
Copy !req
440. You are purified!
You are whole!
Copy !req
441. We are one! We are one!
Copy !req
442. Archie.
Copy !req
443. I got most of my Serpents out
looking for your boy Ricky.
Copy !req
444. But I think I got a place that
you and I should check out.
Copy !req
445. Gargoyle ground zero.
Copy !req
446. All these names...
Copy !req
447. They're sacrifice.
Copy !req
448. Jug...
Copy !req
449. Wait. Archie.
Copy !req
450. Ricky?
Copy !req
451. What the hell
are you doing in here?
Copy !req
452. - Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
453. I came here 'cause I heard
that they all cleared out.
Copy !req
454. The Gargoyles?
Yeah, they're gone.
Copy !req
455. I thought this would be the last place
they'd come looking for me, but...
Copy !req
456. I'll never be able to
escape them.
Copy !req
457. I'm marked for death.
That's what this symbol means. Isn't it?
Copy !req
458. - And you have it, too.
- Yeah, it...
Copy !req
459. It means sacrifice,
but that's not gonna happen.
Copy !req
460. Okay? I swear.
Copy !req
461. - Right, Jug?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
462. That's right. That said,
let's get the hell outta here.
Copy !req
463. Betty.
Copy !req
464. You shouldn't have run off last night.
You should have stayed.
Copy !req
465. Are you two here to go on
record about what I saw?
Copy !req
466. To quote myself,
Copy !req
467. "A dangerous cult
of deluded teenagers
Copy !req
468. who gather for occult-like,
self-harming activities."
Copy !req
469. Betty, last night was scary,
and...
Copy !req
470. And fun, cathartic.
Copy !req
471. It felt euphoric,
like nothing I've ever felt.
Copy !req
472. That's your point of view.
Copy !req
473. I think my readers and your
dad will have a different one.
Copy !req
474. You're not publishing
that article, Betty.
Copy !req
475. - No?
- Tell her why, Kevin.
Copy !req
476. If you do, we'll tell everyone
Copy !req
477. about the shady man
your mom killed in the kitchen
Copy !req
478. and how you and Jughead dumped
his car in Swedlow Swamp,
Copy !req
479. and how Mr. Jones dissolved his
body with lye in the woods.
Copy !req
480. Remember, Betty,
thanks to your mom,
Copy !req
481. everyone at the Farm knows
all of your dirty secrets.
Copy !req
482. You know, when I was fighting
in juvie,
Copy !req
483. this is how I survived.
Copy !req
484. How I avoided getting
sacrificed.
Copy !req
485. By fighting.
Copy !req
486. How did you get sucked
into all of this?
Copy !req
487. Like I was telling you before,
Copy !req
488. at the shelter, some older guys
were into G&G and Fizzle Rocks.
Copy !req
489. They would come by
and try to rope in younger kids
Copy !req
490. to use 'em as runners.
'Cause...
Copy !req
491. The younger you are,
the less time you serve if you get caught.
Copy !req
492. When they asked me,
Copy !req
493. I turned them down.
That's when they branded me,
Copy !req
494. and when I left the shelter...
I think I should keep moving.
Copy !req
495. - I don't want them finding you, too.
- Don't worry about me.
Copy !req
496. And running isn't gonna
solve anything, trust me.
Copy !req
497. I would know.
Copy !req
498. You're not alone in this,
Ricky.
Copy !req
499. Okay? Not anymore.
Copy !req
500. We found the kid,
but he's still in danger.
Copy !req
501. So is Archie, for that matter.
Copy !req
502. So, what's the next play?
Copy !req
503. It's a classic gambit.
Copy !req
504. The hunters become the hunted.
Copy !req
505. Kurtz had said that there are
some rogue 'Goyles.
Copy !req
506. So you two...
Copy !req
507. Hey, Heckle and Jeckle,
start talking.
Copy !req
508. I want the names
of those outliers.
Copy !req
509. And I want sentries posted
at the Gargoyle lair.
Copy !req
510. Jughead! You need to
come right now.
Copy !req
511. What, Toni?
Copy !req
512. Kurtz is about to kill Fangs.
Copy !req
513. - Fangs!
- What the hell!
Copy !req
514. Guys! Guys, help!
Copy !req
515. Don't be scared,
you dirty Serpent spy.
Copy !req
516. You're about to ascend.
And you'll fly, too.
Copy !req
517. Kurtz... don't.
Copy !req
518. Happy landings,
worthless snake.
Copy !req
519. No!
Copy !req
520. Excuse me.
Copy !req
521. Are you bartending now?
Copy !req
522. Your boy toy makes watery drinks,
so I thought,
Copy !req
523. "Hey, I'll just help myself."
Copy !req
524. - Can I get you something?
- Unbelievable.
Copy !req
525. Poppin' joint
you got here, Hiram.
Copy !req
526. Glad you like it, Don.
You know, I've always wanted a casino.
Copy !req
527. Even picked out
those light fixtures myself.
Copy !req
528. This has to stop.
Copy !req
529. They're acting like
they own the place.
Copy !req
530. My place.
Copy !req
531. I can't believe I'm about
to say this,
Copy !req
532. but I miss the Serpents.
Copy !req
533. We could use the extra muscle.
Copy !req
534. Reggie, how have our takes been
since our casino upgrade?
Copy !req
535. Almost double. Why?
Copy !req
536. I might need to siphon
some of it off.
Copy !req
537. For tactical reasons.
Copy !req
538. Ricky.
Copy !req
539. What's up?
Copy !req
540. - Sorry, I was just...
- No, you're good.
Copy !req
541. Keep it. If you want it,
it's yours.
Copy !req
542. - You serious?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
543. Come downstairs.
I want you to meet my dad.
Copy !req
544. What?
Copy !req
545. Ricky, it's okay.
Copy !req
546. I spoke to him.
He's gonna help.
Copy !req
547. Look, we gotta find you a safe
place to live permanently.
Copy !req
548. - Archie...
- With a good family.
Copy !req
549. All right?
One we will all meet.
Copy !req
550. And I'll be checking in on you.
We can hang out whenever you want.
Copy !req
551. And I'll keep giving you
boxing lessons at the gym.
Copy !req
552. Look, you just gotta trust me.
Copy !req
553. He dropped Fangs
for no reason.
Copy !req
554. If I hadn't broken his fall, he would
have snapped his neck, or even worse.
Copy !req
555. You gotta take drastic action, boy.
Words aren't gonna do it.
Copy !req
556. I agree. A big action.
One that's long overdue,
Copy !req
557. and not just for Kurtz,
but for all the Serpents.
Copy !req
558. Old and new.
Dad, I'm talking about the next chapter.
Copy !req
559. Something that's going to give us purpose,
and keep us on the right side of the law.
Copy !req
560. Mobilizing that gang to search for
Archie's lost boy gave me the idea.
Copy !req
561. And you did, too.
Copy !req
562. Let's not
mince words, Toni.
Copy !req
563. I'd like to offer
the Pretty Poisons
Copy !req
564. full time employment
at La Bonne Nuit.
Copy !req
565. My girls aren't waitresses.
Copy !req
566. You misunderstand me.
Copy !req
567. Gladys Jones and my father swan around
La Bonne Nuit as if they own the place.
Copy !req
568. And I fear that their presence
could cost me my business.
Copy !req
569. As well as my sanity.
Copy !req
570. I need muscle to keep them
and their cronies out.
Copy !req
571. That's where your
Pretty Poisons come in.
Copy !req
572. What do you say?
Copy !req
573. Oh, and I have an advance.
Copy !req
574. If you have to run this idea
by Cheryl...
Copy !req
575. They won't be necessary.
Copy !req
576. We've got a deal.
Copy !req
577. Mom?
Copy !req
578. - Hey.
- What's happening?
Copy !req
579. Better start packing.
We're in escrow. I sold the house.
Copy !req
580. To who?
Copy !req
581. Oh, I don't know. In true Riverdale fashion,
some anonymous buyer.
Copy !req
582. I'm sure it's someone overseas.
Copy !req
583. Grab some boxes.
You better hop to it.
Copy !req
584. We need to be outta here sooner,
rather than later.
Copy !req
585. What the hell
is he doing here?
Copy !req
586. - I made the invitation.
- Why?
Copy !req
587. Kurtz boasted that the Serpents
need him more than he needs us.
Copy !req
588. I disagree.
Copy !req
589. But one thing is true.
Copy !req
590. The Serpents are rudderless.
Copy !req
591. We lack identity and focus.
Copy !req
592. We're better and stronger
when we're task-focused.
Copy !req
593. That's why with the help
of my father, Serpent Emeritus,
Copy !req
594. we've come up with a plan...
Copy !req
595. to deputize the Serpents.
Copy !req
596. To become partners with the
Riverdale Sheriff's department.
Copy !req
597. You'll work for me.
Copy !req
598. Help me with investigations,
Copy !req
599. be my eyes and ears
in the community.
Copy !req
600. In return, you'll get paid,
Copy !req
601. and receive school credit
to help you apply to colleges.
Copy !req
602. This is about bringing order,
Copy !req
603. ensuring our survival.
Copy !req
604. But this is gonna be a brand-new
chapter for the Serpents,
Copy !req
605. and we can't be
divided about it.
Copy !req
606. So let's put it to a vote.
Copy !req
607. And if it's not unanimous...
Copy !req
608. there's the damn door.
Copy !req
609. All in favor?
Copy !req
610. Good riddance.
Copy !req
611. Sweet.
Do we get to carry guns?
Copy !req
612. - Absolutely not.
- No.
Copy !req
613. Boom. Four to one.
Smoked you.
Copy !req
614. You got lucky that time.
Copy !req
615. All right, I gotta take this.
Copy !req
616. Hey, Ms. Weiss.
Copy !req
617. Archie, the administrator at Santa
Lucia Shelter finally got back to me.
Copy !req
618. He found a match.
But, Archie...
Copy !req
619. Ricky's full name
is Ricardo DeSantos.
Copy !req
620. DeSantos?
Copy !req
621. As in Joaquin DeSantos?
Copy !req
622. Yes. According to his records,
Ricky is Joaquin's younger brother.
Copy !req
623. Hang on, I don't understand.
Copy !req
624. Joaquin's dead,
and now his brother...
Copy !req
625. His file shows Ricky has a history
of violent behavior and self-harm.
Copy !req
626. Where is he now?
Copy !req
627. He's at my house.
Copy !req
628. Look, Ms. Weiss, I gotta go.
Copy !req
629. Archie, please be careful.
Copy !req
630. I'll call you right back.
Copy !req
631. All right.
Copy !req
632. Ricky?
Copy !req
633. Ricky?
Copy !req
634. Ricky, come on. It's not funny.
Copy !req
635. You in there?
Copy !req
636. What are you doing?
Copy !req
637. It's the only way the Gargoyles will let
me in and let me play the game with them.
Copy !req
638. Gargoyles?
Copy !req
639. Ricky, listen to me,
you don't wanna do this.
Copy !req
640. I have to finish
what he started.
Copy !req
641. You mean Joaquin.
That's your brother.
Copy !req
642. Right? I knew Joaquin.
Copy !req
643. Okay? He was a good guy, but...
Copy !req
644. He listened to the wrong people and
he wound up dead because of it.
Copy !req
645. If I don't do this, the Gargoyles,
they won't protect me.
Copy !req
646. Protect you?
They marked you for sacrifice.
Copy !req
647. The same way they did Joaquin.
Copy !req
648. What, you mean this?
I gave it to myself.
Copy !req
649. And at the lair,
I added my name under yours.
Copy !req
650. You...
Copy !req
651. You're playing me?
Copy !req
652. Is that how my brother
stabbed you?
Copy !req
653. - Archie?
- Dad, don't come in!
Copy !req
654. Son. What the hell happened?
Copy !req
655. I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm such an idiot.
Copy !req
656. You're not an idiot, son.
You just...
Copy !req
657. got a big heart.
Copy !req
658. That's so messed up, though.
Copy !req
659. - You think he'll come back?
- With my luck, definitely.
Copy !req
660. Probably at the worst time,
and with his friends.
Copy !req
661. Yeah.
Copy !req
662. Hold on.
Copy !req
663. The first night of the new job.
Copy !req
664. You coming tonight, babe?
Copy !req
665. Mmm, no. Think I'll pass.
Copy !req
666. Feeling a little
under the weather tonight.
Copy !req
667. Well, see you later?
Copy !req
668. - I'll be asleep.
- Okay.
Copy !req
669. Sorry, lady. Can't admit you.
Copy !req
670. - Excuse me?
- New house rules, Ms. Jones.
Copy !req
671. You're not allowed into La Bonne
Nuit without an engraved invitation.
Copy !req
672. You think you can stop me?
Copy !req
673. Gladys, step off.
Copy !req
674. I've hired these young ladies here to
block your admittance to my establishment
Copy !req
675. until you learn to play
by the rules.
Copy !req
676. My rules.
Copy !req
677. Hmm.
Copy !req
678. Mija, I hope you saved me
my favorite booth?
Copy !req
679. Not so fast, Daddy.
Copy !req
680. You are also no longer welcome
at La Bonne Nuit.
Copy !req
681. At least not until you start
showing me proper respect.
Copy !req
682. And don't try to flex your
financial hold over me.
Copy !req
683. I'll pay you back,
like we agreed.
Copy !req
684. But moving forward,
Copy !req
685. I'm running my business
my way.
Copy !req
686. Okay.
Copy !req
687. Hey, I'm going out
for more bubble wrap.
Copy !req
688. I expect progress on the
packing by the time I get back.
Copy !req
689. Fresh coat of paint...
Copy !req
690. couple atomic bombs...
Copy !req
691. This place will be a nice HQ
for the new and improved Serpents.
Copy !req
692. I don't know what to do, Jug.
Copy !req
693. I remain marked for death.
Copy !req
694. I let my guard down
for a second,
Copy !req
695. and people come out of the
woodworks to try and kill me.
Copy !req
696. Ricky must have been targeting me for days,
if not, weeks.
Copy !req
697. When is this gonna end?
Copy !req
698. I don't know.
Copy !req
699. Maybe it's time you make
this thing come to a head.
Copy !req
700. What, my life?
Copy !req
701. This Gryphons and Gargoyles game that
you're apparently still playing.
Copy !req
702. Will you help me?
Copy !req
703. - Obviously.
- Count me in, too.
Copy !req
704. We're here for you, Arch.
Copy !req
705. You're looking cheery.
Copy !req
706. Yeah.
Copy !req
707. I guess I just feel
a lot better about things.
Copy !req
708. Betty? Betty?
Copy !req
709. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
