1
00:00:02,176 --> 00:00:04,004
It's been almost
a year. Like the grown-ups
and it,
2
00:00:04,047 --> 00:00:06,180
we returned
to our haunted hometown
3
00:00:06,223 --> 00:00:10,358
and confronted
the darkest monsters
we'd ever faced... ourselves.
4
00:00:10,401 --> 00:00:14,666
We'd survived, but surviving
isn't the same as thriving,
5
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:17,800
and none of us, it seemed,
were thriving.
6
00:00:19,932 --> 00:00:23,545
So how did it go?
Did you pass?
7
00:00:23,588 --> 00:00:27,070
I... almost passed.
8
00:00:27,114 --> 00:00:28,550
Uh, Reggie?
9
00:00:28,593 --> 00:00:30,073
No, I'm so sorry.
10
00:00:31,161 --> 00:00:32,423
But don't worry.
11
00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:34,164
You can take
the Series 7 exam again,
12
00:00:34,208 --> 00:00:36,297
and you'll be a fully licensed
stockbroker in no time.
13
00:00:36,340 --> 00:00:37,689
Yes.
14
00:00:37,733 --> 00:00:40,649
Or I was thinking
15
00:00:40,692 --> 00:00:43,695
we could open a casino
here in town.
16
00:00:46,263 --> 00:00:47,656
What are you talking about?
17
00:00:47,699 --> 00:00:49,179
Don't you remember
how much fun we had
18
00:00:49,223 --> 00:00:50,833
running games at La Bonne Nuit?
19
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,533
I hold very fond memories
of that time, Reggie.
20
00:00:55,577 --> 00:00:57,753
But I have decided
21
00:00:57,796 --> 00:00:59,842
that after
the school year ends,
22
00:00:59,885 --> 00:01:01,235
I'm going back to New York.
23
00:01:01,844 --> 00:01:02,758
Really?
24
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:05,369
What about Carrot Top?
25
00:01:10,374 --> 00:01:13,464
Archie and I... are no more.
26
00:01:14,378 --> 00:01:16,424
Oh.
27
00:01:16,467 --> 00:01:18,861
He understands that
my future's in New York.
28
00:01:27,043 --> 00:01:29,611
Well, glad to see I'm not
the only one day-drinking.
29
00:01:31,178 --> 00:01:32,701
Are you here alone?
30
00:01:32,744 --> 00:01:33,745
You just missed Jackson.
31
00:01:33,789 --> 00:01:35,182
He moved back home.
32
00:01:35,225 --> 00:01:38,054
Oh, thank you.
Eric's such a good guy.
33
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:39,621
Yeah.
34
00:01:39,664 --> 00:01:41,536
Is that why you look so sad?
35
00:01:42,754 --> 00:01:45,061
No, I'm happy for him.
36
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:46,106
I'm sure we'll see him again.
37
00:01:47,977 --> 00:01:52,112
I, uh I don't know
if you heard,
38
00:01:52,155 --> 00:01:53,765
but Veronica and I broke up.
39
00:01:53,809 --> 00:01:54,679
For good this time.
40
00:01:54,723 --> 00:01:56,594
Oh, God.
I'm sorry.
41
00:01:58,161 --> 00:01:59,380
What happened?
42
00:01:59,423 --> 00:02:00,816
Seven years happened.
43
00:02:02,296 --> 00:02:03,775
We became different people.
44
00:02:05,734 --> 00:02:07,170
Ronnie belongs in New York,
45
00:02:07,214 --> 00:02:08,824
and I belong here,
in Riverdale.
46
00:02:10,521 --> 00:02:12,871
I'm reopening
Andrews Construction.
47
00:02:12,915 --> 00:02:16,223
Oh, well looks like
we're going to be neighbors
for the foreseeable future.
48
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:19,008
I just got permission
to reopen
the Riverdale FBI office.
49
00:02:19,051 --> 00:02:21,880
Because by the way,
you're now talking
50
00:02:21,924 --> 00:02:23,665
to Special Agent
Betty Cooper officially.
51
00:02:23,708 --> 00:02:26,363
- Wow, that's amazing.
- Yeah.
52
00:02:26,407 --> 00:02:27,756
When's the graduation?
53
00:02:27,799 --> 00:02:30,541
And can we go?
54
00:02:30,585 --> 00:02:35,067
I missed it, but it's okay.
I got my diploma in the mail.
55
00:02:35,111 --> 00:02:37,287
Well, damn.
56
00:02:37,331 --> 00:02:38,549
Can I at least pay
for the next round?
57
00:02:38,593 --> 00:02:39,768
Sure.
58
00:02:41,291 --> 00:02:42,553
And here
I thought your days
59
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:44,686
of summoning me
were over, Waldo.
60
00:02:44,729 --> 00:02:47,689
The worm turns, Mr. Jones.
61
00:02:47,732 --> 00:02:49,343
Some of the students
are interested
62
00:02:49,386 --> 00:02:51,301
in restarting
the student newspaper,
63
00:02:51,345 --> 00:02:52,781
The Blue and Gold.
64
00:02:52,824 --> 00:02:54,783
Trouble is, none of
our current faculty
65
00:02:54,826 --> 00:02:56,567
have the bandwidth
to supervise it.
66
00:02:59,831 --> 00:03:01,137
You want me to?
67
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:02,312
Yes.
68
00:03:02,356 --> 00:03:04,314
What do you say, Mr. Jones?
69
00:03:04,358 --> 00:03:06,273
I say, get me that rewrite.
70
00:03:06,316 --> 00:03:09,580
Cameron, put the word out
that She-Wolf of Wall Street
71
00:03:09,624 --> 00:03:12,104
is coming back to take a bite
out of the Big Apple.
72
00:03:12,148 --> 00:03:13,497
What, right now?
73
00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:16,326
I wouldn't do that, Ronnie.
74
00:03:16,370 --> 00:03:18,720
Why not? You said I could
come back whenever I wanted.
75
00:03:18,763 --> 00:03:21,984
Yeah, but that was before
you killed Chad in cold blood.
76
00:03:22,027 --> 00:03:23,899
That was self-defense, Cameron.
77
00:03:23,942 --> 00:03:26,945
I'm sure. But I doubt
any firm in town
would be willing to hire
78
00:03:26,989 --> 00:03:29,252
the black widow of Wall Street,
79
00:03:29,296 --> 00:03:31,559
which is what
everyone's calling you.
80
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:34,866
Maybe call me again
in six months.
81
00:03:46,443 --> 00:03:48,315
Now are you sure you're not
scared to be toiling away
82
00:03:48,358 --> 00:03:49,533
down here, dear Britta?
83
00:03:49,577 --> 00:03:51,709
Not at all, Miss Blossom.
84
00:03:51,753 --> 00:03:53,755
And the physical labor
will keep me in shape
for football next season.
85
00:03:53,798 --> 00:03:55,322
Glad to hear it.
86
00:03:55,365 --> 00:03:57,324
Palladium is the missing piece
in my ministry,
87
00:03:57,367 --> 00:03:59,326
the fabled Fifth Element.
88
00:03:59,369 --> 00:04:00,892
It's the bridge
between the physical
and spiritual worlds,
89
00:04:00,936 --> 00:04:02,372
and it will grant me
power over both.
90
00:04:02,416 --> 00:04:04,983
- That sounds so cool.
- Indeed.
91
00:04:05,027 --> 00:04:06,594
All right, Come come.
92
00:04:06,637 --> 00:04:08,378
It's time to wipe the soot
off our faces for the day
93
00:04:08,422 --> 00:04:09,771
before we're late
for the big surprise.
94
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:16,995
Keep 'em closed.
Keep 'em closed.
95
00:04:17,039 --> 00:04:18,997
You know I don't like
surprises, right?
96
00:04:19,041 --> 00:04:20,303
Well, that really sucks.
97
00:04:20,347 --> 00:04:22,174
Because...
98
00:04:22,218 --> 00:04:23,350
Surprise!
99
00:04:23,393 --> 00:04:25,656
Oh, my God, you guys.
100
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:29,399
Here's to Quantico's
latest and greatest
field officer,
101
00:04:29,443 --> 00:04:32,228
Agent Betty Cooper.
102
00:04:32,272 --> 00:04:34,665
- Congratulations, sweetheart.
- Thank you.
103
00:04:34,709 --> 00:04:38,147
Speech! Speech!
104
00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:39,453
- Speech!
- Oh, wow!
105
00:04:39,496 --> 00:04:42,456
Okay, I was not expecting...
this.
106
00:04:42,499 --> 00:04:46,851
But it means more to me
than I could ever express.
107
00:04:46,895 --> 00:04:49,898
So thank you.
108
00:04:49,941 --> 00:04:51,813
It's been a rough year. But...
109
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:55,904
I love you all.
110
00:04:55,947 --> 00:05:00,038
Elizabeth, you've given us
a lifetime of reasons
to be proud of you.
111
00:05:00,082 --> 00:05:01,213
This one takes the cake.
112
00:05:01,257 --> 00:05:02,867
And speaking of cake...
113
00:05:10,962 --> 00:05:12,355
So what does this mean, B?
114
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:14,139
It means I'm staying
in Riverdale,
115
00:05:14,183 --> 00:05:15,924
just like I promised my mom.
116
00:05:15,967 --> 00:05:17,752
God knows there's
enough crime here
117
00:05:17,795 --> 00:05:21,408
to last me several lifetimes.
118
00:05:21,451 --> 00:05:25,281
Well, I don't know if you've
heard about me and Archie.
119
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:28,240
I did, V. I'm sorry.
120
00:05:28,284 --> 00:05:31,026
But I'm sure you're excited
to get back to your old life
121
00:05:31,069 --> 00:05:32,984
in New York,
even though we'll miss you.
122
00:05:36,684 --> 00:05:39,382
Should we head
back to the diner?
123
00:05:39,426 --> 00:05:42,080
I actually asked Delores
to cover the night for us.
124
00:05:42,124 --> 00:05:43,168
Oh, really?
125
00:05:43,212 --> 00:05:45,040
And why is that?
126
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:48,739
Well, I figured that we didn't
actually get to have our date
127
00:05:48,783 --> 00:05:51,829
- at Cucina Sacasa, so...
- Oh, true.
128
00:05:51,873 --> 00:05:53,527
I could definitely go for
some Italian right now.
129
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:55,180
- Right now?
- Mmm-hmm.
130
00:06:01,709 --> 00:06:04,059
Well, glad you're
doing better, Alice.
131
00:06:04,102 --> 00:06:06,757
Yeah, it doesn't
get any easier,
132
00:06:06,801 --> 00:06:08,368
but every day
it's hurts a little less.
133
00:06:10,021 --> 00:06:13,373
You, um... You getting
out of the house at all?
134
00:06:14,896 --> 00:06:17,028
I'm trying to.
135
00:06:17,072 --> 00:06:18,378
Why? Do you have
something in mind, Frank?
136
00:06:19,074 --> 00:06:21,032
Uh...
137
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:40,400
I actually have some news.
138
00:06:40,443 --> 00:06:41,966
So Principal Weatherbee
asked me to, uh,
139
00:06:42,010 --> 00:06:43,577
come back and run
the school paper.
140
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:44,926
Oh!
141
00:06:44,969 --> 00:06:47,015
And as long as
I don't mess it up,
142
00:06:47,058 --> 00:06:49,887
he said that I could
start possibly
teaching again in the fall.
143
00:06:49,931 --> 00:06:51,585
Wow.
144
00:06:51,628 --> 00:06:54,588
Maybe then you'd be able
to move out of Archie's garage.
145
00:06:54,631 --> 00:06:56,372
Aw, man, I was just
starting to love
146
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,853
the smell of mold
and turpentine.
147
00:07:00,724 --> 00:07:02,726
You know, um,
148
00:07:02,770 --> 00:07:06,469
if you're going to be
working full time in the fall,
149
00:07:06,513 --> 00:07:08,689
that's also when
my apartment's lease is up.
150
00:07:10,865 --> 00:07:13,694
You and me? Cohabitating?
151
00:07:15,783 --> 00:07:17,480
It's Delores.
152
00:07:17,524 --> 00:07:18,568
Oh, it's probably just
the ice machine on the fritz.
153
00:07:19,526 --> 00:07:20,657
Hey, Delores, What's up?
154
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,355
What?
155
00:07:26,837 --> 00:07:29,753
- Got any threes?
- Go fish, bish.
156
00:07:34,236 --> 00:07:36,064
Holy crap! Pop's is on fire.
157
00:07:38,936 --> 00:07:41,156
Oh, what the hell?
158
00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:42,810
They're slashed
on this side, too.
159
00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:45,073
Okay, guys, get the spares.
Fangs, get the jack.
160
00:08:21,326 --> 00:08:22,676
I'm so sorry, Tabitha.
161
00:08:24,112 --> 00:08:25,635
We should have
gotten here faster.
162
00:08:25,679 --> 00:08:27,202
Archie, come on.
163
00:08:27,245 --> 00:08:29,552
You did everything you could.
164
00:08:29,596 --> 00:08:31,336
You and your fireman
are the only reason
165
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:32,947
this place is even
standing at all.
166
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:34,383
It's true.
167
00:08:34,426 --> 00:08:35,515
I've never seen
tires changed so fast.
168
00:08:40,432 --> 00:08:42,826
How do I call my grandpa
in Florida?
169
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:45,394
And what do I tell him?
170
00:08:45,437 --> 00:08:48,528
That our family business
went up in flames?
171
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:50,138
Delores said
that it was a Ghoulie
172
00:08:50,181 --> 00:08:51,618
who threw
the Molotov cocktail.
173
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,576
A Ghoulie? To what end?
What's his motive?
174
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:55,578
Wasn't his motive.
175
00:08:55,622 --> 00:08:57,145
I can pretty much guarantee
176
00:08:57,188 --> 00:08:59,582
that Ghoulie was acting
on someone else's behalf.
177
00:08:59,626 --> 00:09:01,584
Give you three guesses who.
178
00:09:01,628 --> 00:09:02,803
Your dad?
179
00:09:04,456 --> 00:09:07,024
I can't believe I ever
worked for that sorry SOB.
180
00:09:07,068 --> 00:09:09,723
If the scumbag
who torches places a Ghoulie,
181
00:09:09,766 --> 00:09:12,682
Fangs and I'll take care of it.
We'll get confirmation.
182
00:09:12,726 --> 00:09:13,640
Yeah, do that, Toni.
183
00:09:14,728 --> 00:09:15,859
But I don't need confirmation.
184
00:09:15,903 --> 00:09:17,252
I don't think any of us do.
185
00:09:17,295 --> 00:09:18,906
I mean, who else
would set fire to Pop's
186
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:20,734
and slashed our trucks' tires
before we get to it?
187
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,354
I don't remember
ordering room service.
188
00:09:34,617 --> 00:09:37,185
Hiram Lodge,
you are under arrest.
189
00:09:37,228 --> 00:09:39,274
You have the right
to remain silent.
190
00:09:39,317 --> 00:09:41,711
Anything you say can
and will be used
against you in a court of law.
191
00:09:41,755 --> 00:09:43,626
You have the right
to an attorney.
192
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:45,628
If you cannot afford
an attorney, one will be
provided for you.
193
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:46,977
Oh, I can afford one,
194
00:09:47,021 --> 00:09:48,675
and he'll have me out
before dinner.
195
00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:58,728
Woodward and Bernstein.
196
00:09:58,772 --> 00:10:00,948
Seymour Hersh, Ronan Farrow,
197
00:10:00,991 --> 00:10:02,210
What do these people
have in common?
198
00:10:02,253 --> 00:10:04,516
Uh, they're all journalists.
199
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,649
Yes, they are journalists.
200
00:10:06,693 --> 00:10:08,520
But more specifically,
they are journalists
201
00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:11,654
who courageously
spoke truth to power.
202
00:10:11,698 --> 00:10:13,264
Freedom of the press.
203
00:10:13,308 --> 00:10:15,179
This is one of the most
basic building blocks
204
00:10:15,223 --> 00:10:18,008
in a healthy
functioning society,
205
00:10:18,052 --> 00:10:19,749
and we might take it
for granted out here,
206
00:10:19,793 --> 00:10:21,272
but there are places
around the world
207
00:10:21,316 --> 00:10:24,058
where information
is controlled by dictators.
208
00:10:24,101 --> 00:10:25,755
And the truth is shaped
209
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:28,062
to serve those
who are in power.
210
00:10:28,105 --> 00:10:30,630
Kind of like what
the Lodge Ledger
does in Riverdale.
211
00:10:31,892 --> 00:10:33,720
Yes.
212
00:10:33,763 --> 00:10:34,982
Yeah, exactly like that.
213
00:10:36,984 --> 00:10:40,030
Hiram was booked,
but he's right.
He'll beat the charges.
214
00:10:40,074 --> 00:10:42,903
There's nothing we can do
to conclusively
link him to the arson.
215
00:10:42,946 --> 00:10:45,557
Not yet,
but Toni's gonna
find that Ghoulie.
216
00:10:45,601 --> 00:10:47,777
- In the meantime...
- Let's search
his SoDale office.
217
00:10:47,821 --> 00:10:49,170
There's got to be
something in there
218
00:10:49,213 --> 00:10:50,737
that ties him to this crime
219
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:53,391
or literally, any other crime
at this point.
220
00:10:53,435 --> 00:10:54,958
And we'd be looking for...
221
00:10:55,002 --> 00:10:58,614
Shady contracts, financials,
illicit receipts.
222
00:10:58,658 --> 00:11:00,529
I mean it's not
really my bailiwick.
223
00:11:00,572 --> 00:11:02,574
Me neither. We need someone
who speaks that language.
224
00:11:02,618 --> 00:11:04,533
Who also wants
to take Hiram down.
225
00:11:06,187 --> 00:11:07,449
Veronica.
226
00:11:17,372 --> 00:11:19,809
The sooner you tell us
who paid you
227
00:11:19,853 --> 00:11:20,897
the sooner it'll be done.
228
00:11:24,335 --> 00:11:26,729
Fine.
229
00:11:26,773 --> 00:11:29,689
- Fangs, turn up
the radio again--
- Okay. Okay, okay.
230
00:11:29,732 --> 00:11:31,255
Okay, fine.
231
00:11:31,299 --> 00:11:32,692
I'll tell you.
232
00:11:32,735 --> 00:11:34,868
It was Hiram Lodge.
233
00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:37,218
Not surprised.
234
00:11:38,654 --> 00:11:40,569
Why would you agree?
235
00:11:40,612 --> 00:11:42,789
Torching Pop's,
which is right on top
of the Whyte Wyrm.
236
00:11:43,398 --> 00:11:45,487
My place.
237
00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:48,229
Why would you risk
a war with the Serpents
to help out Hiram Lodge?
238
00:11:48,795 --> 00:11:49,621
A war?
239
00:11:50,622 --> 00:11:51,667
Come on.
240
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:54,714
The Serpents are a joke now.
241
00:11:54,757 --> 00:11:57,281
Driving trucks
and having babies.
242
00:11:58,195 --> 00:11:59,806
You've gone soft.
243
00:11:59,849 --> 00:12:02,591
And Hiram said that
as soon as Pop's was razed,
244
00:12:02,634 --> 00:12:04,985
the Ghoulies would be able
to take back the town,
245
00:12:05,028 --> 00:12:06,551
finally get
what we deserve.
246
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,427
Oh, you're going to get
what you deserve.
247
00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:14,559
Fangs, the radio.
248
00:12:31,359 --> 00:12:33,100
Guys, I think
I found something.
249
00:12:33,143 --> 00:12:34,318
What are
we looking at, Vee?
250
00:12:34,362 --> 00:12:35,667
According to these documents,
251
00:12:35,711 --> 00:12:38,105
my father
incorporated SoDale,
252
00:12:38,148 --> 00:12:40,324
even though
it's only a muddy field.
253
00:12:40,368 --> 00:12:41,891
Great.
So he's done with Riverdale?
254
00:12:41,935 --> 00:12:43,240
On the contrary.
255
00:12:43,284 --> 00:12:45,547
Now that SoDale
is legally a town,
256
00:12:45,590 --> 00:12:47,854
he can petition the courts
to redraw its borders
257
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:50,813
and absorb
all unincorporated lands.
258
00:12:50,857 --> 00:12:52,075
In other words,
he's going to annex
259
00:12:52,119 --> 00:12:53,642
the former
township of Riverdale,
260
00:12:53,685 --> 00:12:55,687
claim eminent domain
and grab it for himself.
261
00:12:55,731 --> 00:12:56,993
Including the Palladium mines?
262
00:12:57,037 --> 00:12:58,821
He thinks this is
the wild, wild west.
263
00:12:58,865 --> 00:13:01,258
Let me take this paperwork
back with me to the FBI office.
264
00:13:01,302 --> 00:13:03,130
We'll see
if this is even legal,
265
00:13:03,173 --> 00:13:04,871
and if it isn't,
we'll start building
a case against him.
266
00:13:08,831 --> 00:13:10,790
- It's Toni.
It's like
we suspected.
267
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:13,227
Hiram paid the Ghoulie
to burn down Pop's.
268
00:13:13,270 --> 00:13:15,055
And not just Pop's,
269
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:16,970
but all the fires
that have been
breaking out recently.
270
00:13:17,013 --> 00:13:20,843
Hiram promised the Ghoulies
the burned husk of the town.
271
00:13:20,887 --> 00:13:22,802
- All he cares about is--
- The mines.
272
00:13:24,891 --> 00:13:29,156
I'm sorry,
Toni, Fangs, Archie.
273
00:13:29,199 --> 00:13:32,637
Yet again,
I find myself apologizing
for my father's actions.
274
00:13:32,681 --> 00:13:34,639
Yeah, well, we don't want
an apology.
275
00:13:34,683 --> 00:13:36,163
We want justice.
276
00:13:36,206 --> 00:13:37,555
Serpent justice.
277
00:13:40,210 --> 00:13:41,559
We'll take care of him.
278
00:13:41,603 --> 00:13:43,474
No offense, Veronica,
but I don't think
279
00:13:43,518 --> 00:13:45,302
you're going
to be willing to do
what needs to be done.
280
00:13:48,349 --> 00:13:49,176
Yes, we will.
281
00:13:50,612 --> 00:13:52,701
Archie and I both will.
282
00:13:52,744 --> 00:13:55,704
And what are the Serpents
supposed to do,
283
00:13:55,747 --> 00:13:57,358
just sit back?
284
00:13:57,401 --> 00:13:59,012
Actually, Fangs,
what we really need
is someone
285
00:13:59,055 --> 00:14:00,752
to go out
and collect signatures,
286
00:14:00,796 --> 00:14:02,145
so I can reincorporate
the town.
287
00:14:02,189 --> 00:14:03,755
Are you kidding me?
288
00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:05,845
The Serpents
don't run errands, Archie.
289
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:07,324
Of course not, Toni.
290
00:14:07,368 --> 00:14:09,500
But this is
a different kind of fighting.
291
00:14:09,544 --> 00:14:12,373
As long as Riverdale
is unincorporated,
we're sitting ducks.
292
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:14,854
And I'm not sure
we've done enough
to inspire the families
293
00:14:14,897 --> 00:14:17,769
that Riverdale is still
worth resurrecting.
294
00:14:17,813 --> 00:14:19,597
So we've got
to make our play,
295
00:14:19,641 --> 00:14:21,251
that means getting
51% of people
296
00:14:21,295 --> 00:14:23,514
living in our borders
to sign an endorsement.
297
00:14:24,907 --> 00:14:28,041
Fine.
We'll rally the troops.
298
00:14:28,084 --> 00:14:32,959
But if you two don't take care
of Hiram, we will, our way.
299
00:14:39,313 --> 00:14:40,401
Toni's right.
300
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:45,101
Something drastic
needs to happen.
301
00:14:45,145 --> 00:14:50,541
I thought my dad would stop
after he blew up the mines,
but he refuses to give up.
302
00:14:51,803 --> 00:14:52,630
He doesn't know how to.
303
00:14:53,501 --> 00:14:54,545
So, what you want to do?
304
00:14:56,286 --> 00:14:58,593
- The only thing that's left.
305
00:15:03,685 --> 00:15:06,906
Let's say
my father were to...
306
00:15:08,646 --> 00:15:09,473
go missing.
307
00:15:12,215 --> 00:15:15,610
Let's say he escaped
from his jail cell.
308
00:15:16,741 --> 00:15:18,308
Who would go
looking for him?
309
00:15:19,483 --> 00:15:22,051
Certainly not my mother.
310
00:15:22,095 --> 00:15:24,053
And not Hermosa.
She feels betrayed
by him, too.
311
00:15:25,185 --> 00:15:27,056
And Sheriff Keller wouldn't.
312
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:30,103
And Betty would make sure
the FBI doesn't either.
313
00:15:31,843 --> 00:15:35,151
We could take Hiram out
to the maple barrens.
314
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:38,372
It could be the last thing
we do together.
315
00:15:38,415 --> 00:15:42,028
Somehow that would be fitting.
316
00:15:42,071 --> 00:15:44,421
I'll call Tom,
tell him to take
a long lunch.
317
00:15:48,686 --> 00:15:50,688
What's up, Reggie?
We're kind of in the middle
of something.
318
00:15:50,732 --> 00:15:51,994
Yeah, it looks like
you're wrestling with
319
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:54,431
a Hiram-sized problem.
Am I right?
320
00:15:54,475 --> 00:15:56,346
Well, far be it
for me to intrude.
321
00:15:56,390 --> 00:15:57,869
I thought
you might be interested
322
00:15:57,913 --> 00:16:01,351
in this smoking gun
I managed to acquire.
323
00:16:01,395 --> 00:16:02,439
What's on it?
324
00:16:02,483 --> 00:16:03,527
Irrefutable proof.
325
00:16:19,195 --> 00:16:21,154
Riverdale Field Office.
This is Agent Cooper.
326
00:16:23,939 --> 00:16:26,115
Pretty Betty.
327
00:16:30,119 --> 00:16:31,642
It's you.
328
00:16:31,686 --> 00:16:34,384
Don't bother with a trace.
329
00:16:34,428 --> 00:16:35,733
We won't be on
long enough.
330
00:16:37,213 --> 00:16:39,041
What do you want?
331
00:16:39,085 --> 00:16:43,480
To congratulate you
on graduation.
332
00:16:43,524 --> 00:16:47,919
And to tell you
that I have no plans
to come calling on you.
333
00:16:47,963 --> 00:16:52,054
I hope you extend me
the same courtesy.
334
00:16:52,098 --> 00:16:54,274
You know
I can't make that promise.
335
00:16:55,797 --> 00:16:57,059
Pity...
336
00:16:58,408 --> 00:16:59,714
Betty.
337
00:17:04,632 --> 00:17:05,502
Hello?
338
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:08,462
- Hello?
339
00:17:18,863 --> 00:17:21,736
- How's the burger?
- Good.
340
00:17:21,779 --> 00:17:24,347
Well, at least the kitchen
is still operational.
341
00:17:24,391 --> 00:17:26,393
- True.
- That's a good thing, right?
342
00:17:26,436 --> 00:17:27,785
Mmm-hmm.
343
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:28,786
Did you call
your insurance company?
344
00:17:29,526 --> 00:17:31,006
Yes.
345
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:35,576
But they are not
covering this.
346
00:17:35,619 --> 00:17:36,838
Why?
347
00:17:36,881 --> 00:17:38,579
Because the last
couple of months,
348
00:17:38,622 --> 00:17:42,452
I've had to choose between
paying my insurance premiums
349
00:17:42,496 --> 00:17:44,889
or paying my waitresses.
350
00:17:46,456 --> 00:17:49,111
I chose my waitresses.
351
00:17:49,155 --> 00:17:52,201
Exactly what they teach you
not to do in business school.
352
00:17:54,725 --> 00:17:58,120
What, be compassionate,
care about your staff?
353
00:17:58,164 --> 00:18:02,211
On top of which, did you see
what the Lodge Ledger
published today?
354
00:18:02,255 --> 00:18:05,954
No. But funny enough,
I was just thinking about
Hiram's fish wrapper.
355
00:18:05,997 --> 00:18:06,868
Oh, what does it say?
356
00:18:06,911 --> 00:18:08,565
It's an editorial.
357
00:18:08,609 --> 00:18:10,350
"Out with the old.
358
00:18:10,393 --> 00:18:12,656
Like the asteroid
that wiped the dinosaurs
359
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:13,875
off the face of the Earth,
360
00:18:13,918 --> 00:18:15,920
nature or fortune
has struck again,
361
00:18:15,964 --> 00:18:17,574
toppling another dinosaur,
362
00:18:17,618 --> 00:18:19,402
Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe.
363
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:22,318
The struggling diner
has held on for far too long.
364
00:18:22,362 --> 00:18:24,407
We can only hope
that its charred remains
365
00:18:24,451 --> 00:18:25,756
will be
swept away quickly,
366
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:28,368
lost to the winds."
367
00:18:31,197 --> 00:18:32,372
Hey, I've got an idea.
368
00:18:33,808 --> 00:18:35,505
I mean, it's not gonna
bring back Pop's,
369
00:18:35,549 --> 00:18:38,160
but it would hurt
Hiram's stranglehold
on the town,
370
00:18:38,204 --> 00:18:41,381
and it might
make us feel better.
371
00:18:41,424 --> 00:18:45,167
If you're intrigued,
we'd have to act quickly.
372
00:18:45,211 --> 00:18:46,647
Move under the cover
of darkness.
373
00:18:56,657 --> 00:18:58,180
Let me guess.
374
00:18:58,224 --> 00:19:00,704
You're not here to give me
my one phone call.
375
00:19:00,748 --> 00:19:02,445
No, we're not.
376
00:19:03,272 --> 00:19:04,230
Stand up.
377
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:12,020
Fire Department
is on standby.
378
00:19:12,063 --> 00:19:13,717
They will arrive in time
to keep the fire
from spreading,
379
00:19:13,761 --> 00:19:16,372
but this Ledger is toast,
380
00:19:16,416 --> 00:19:19,375
assuming that you still want
to do this.
381
00:19:19,419 --> 00:19:24,163
You know, Jughead,
I pride myself on always
taking the high road,
382
00:19:24,206 --> 00:19:26,513
but a person
can only be pushed so far.
383
00:19:31,082 --> 00:19:34,347
♪ But love
384
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:40,701
♪ Love kills slowly
385
00:19:41,919 --> 00:19:44,835
♪ And it burns
386
00:19:46,794 --> 00:19:51,407
♪ With every fading memory
387
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,238
It's Archie.
388
00:19:56,282 --> 00:19:58,675
I can't stop thinking about
what that Ghoulie said.
389
00:19:58,719 --> 00:20:00,808
"The Serpents are over."
390
00:20:00,851 --> 00:20:02,679
The Serpents aren't over.
391
00:20:02,723 --> 00:20:04,899
Well, they have been
on the back burner, though.
392
00:20:04,942 --> 00:20:06,509
All I've been focused on
is the school,
393
00:20:06,553 --> 00:20:09,251
my guidance counseling work,
Baby Anthony.
394
00:20:09,295 --> 00:20:13,124
You and I, we've been
Serpents since birth,
395
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:17,564
and no dumbass,
freaky-deeky Ghoulie
can take that away from us.
396
00:20:17,607 --> 00:20:19,696
You're right.
397
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:23,352
But as Queen of the Serpents,
I can, and I should be
doing more.
398
00:20:23,396 --> 00:20:25,267
Every year,
our numbers dwindle.
399
00:20:25,311 --> 00:20:27,182
And as the town
reincorporates,
400
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:30,446
I want the Serpents
to be a big part
of its reconstruction.
401
00:20:30,490 --> 00:20:32,709
I'm down.
What are you thinking?
402
00:20:32,753 --> 00:20:37,366
We start by taking
the Serpents off the roads
and back into Riverdale.
403
00:20:37,410 --> 00:20:40,456
Find them a gig
that pays just as well
as truck driving,
404
00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,371
and we start
building up our ranks,
405
00:20:42,415 --> 00:20:44,373
- starting with Baby Anthony.
406
00:20:44,417 --> 00:20:47,768
He will be a symbol
of the next generation
of ass kickers.
407
00:20:49,117 --> 00:20:51,598
Future King of the Serpents.
408
00:20:51,641 --> 00:20:53,339
Exactly.
409
00:20:53,382 --> 00:20:55,558
But we need
a current one, too.
410
00:20:55,602 --> 00:20:57,865
And that's you, Fangs.
411
00:20:57,908 --> 00:21:00,476
I'm here for it, Toni,
all of it.
412
00:21:01,608 --> 00:21:03,392
In unity,
there is strength.
413
00:21:16,013 --> 00:21:17,406
It's Veronica.
414
00:21:17,450 --> 00:21:18,364
You ready, Daddy?
415
00:21:26,372 --> 00:21:27,286
What is this?
416
00:21:30,419 --> 00:21:31,594
A public execution?
417
00:21:31,638 --> 00:21:33,117
What are you,
my executioners?
418
00:21:33,161 --> 00:21:35,946
You deserve death
for everything you've done,
419
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:39,167
but no, Daddy,
this is not an execution.
420
00:21:39,210 --> 00:21:41,038
This is an exile.
421
00:21:41,735 --> 00:21:43,389
Yours.
422
00:21:43,432 --> 00:21:45,042
After we show you something.
423
00:22:03,583 --> 00:22:04,410
Where'd you get that?
424
00:22:07,848 --> 00:22:09,980
- Reggie?
- Yeah, it was me.
425
00:22:10,024 --> 00:22:14,550
The point is, we have it,
we've all seen it.
426
00:22:14,594 --> 00:22:18,554
Irrefutable proof
that you're a murderer.
427
00:22:18,598 --> 00:22:21,035
You can't wriggle your way
out of this one, Daddy.
428
00:22:21,078 --> 00:22:23,124
In one hour exactly,
429
00:22:23,167 --> 00:22:25,474
Betty will turn that video
over to the FBI.
430
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:28,477
I'd start walking, Daddy,
431
00:22:28,521 --> 00:22:31,524
and I wouldn't stop
for a long, long time.
432
00:22:31,567 --> 00:22:33,352
You're turning
against your own blood
like this, mija?
433
00:22:34,570 --> 00:22:36,137
I blame Archie.
434
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:38,008
This is his influence.
435
00:22:38,052 --> 00:22:40,141
Don't. We broke up.
436
00:22:41,229 --> 00:22:42,361
This is all me.
437
00:22:44,493 --> 00:22:45,755
What about my possessions?
438
00:22:47,191 --> 00:22:49,193
We'll sell what we can,
439
00:22:49,237 --> 00:22:51,152
use whatever money
we make from it
440
00:22:51,195 --> 00:22:53,372
to rebuild Pop's
and the town.
441
00:22:55,330 --> 00:22:56,940
Tick-tock, Daddy.
442
00:22:58,246 --> 00:23:00,248
Tick... tock.
443
00:23:31,192 --> 00:23:35,457
So, uh, tonight
got me to thinking.
444
00:23:35,501 --> 00:23:38,982
What would you say
about being my deputy
full-time, son?
445
00:23:40,462 --> 00:23:41,985
I think that would be
an honor, Dad.
446
00:23:43,204 --> 00:23:44,771
But I can't.
447
00:23:44,814 --> 00:23:47,164
Because I've decided
once the school year's over,
448
00:23:47,208 --> 00:23:49,079
I want to give New York
and Broadway another shot.
449
00:23:49,123 --> 00:23:51,821
- Oh.
- I've been thinking about it
ever since Josie visited,
450
00:23:51,865 --> 00:23:54,302
and it's something
that I've got to do now,
451
00:23:54,345 --> 00:23:56,652
or I'm gonna regret it
for the rest of my life.
452
00:23:58,262 --> 00:24:00,439
- To new beginnings.
- To new beginnings.
453
00:24:03,093 --> 00:24:06,357
I just drove past
the Town Hall,
and it is a fire trap,
454
00:24:06,401 --> 00:24:09,230
so we'll host
the community meeting
at the El Royale.
455
00:24:09,273 --> 00:24:10,405
How's it going
with the signatures?
456
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:12,363
We're not at 51% yet,
457
00:24:12,407 --> 00:24:14,235
but we still got a crew out
pounding the pavement.
458
00:24:14,278 --> 00:24:16,193
Okay, great.
459
00:24:16,237 --> 00:24:18,326
But, Archie,
a lot of the Serpents
have been reporting back.
460
00:24:18,369 --> 00:24:19,675
People are asking
what kind of town
461
00:24:19,719 --> 00:24:21,503
the new Riverdale
is going to be.
462
00:24:21,547 --> 00:24:24,114
And they want to know
before they agree
to reincorporate.
463
00:24:24,158 --> 00:24:25,899
Like, is there
going to be a mayor?
464
00:24:25,942 --> 00:24:27,378
If so, who?
465
00:24:27,422 --> 00:24:28,597
Yeah, I've been
turning that over, too.
466
00:24:30,338 --> 00:24:31,644
I know
who I would vote for.
467
00:24:33,254 --> 00:24:35,517
You, Toni.
468
00:24:35,561 --> 00:24:38,085
- Would you do it?
- What, mayor?
469
00:24:38,128 --> 00:24:40,391
I mean, Archie, I can't.
470
00:24:40,435 --> 00:24:42,132
I don't have
the bandwidth.
471
00:24:42,176 --> 00:24:43,090
I understand.
472
00:24:44,178 --> 00:24:46,310
- Fangs?
- Hell no.
473
00:24:46,354 --> 00:24:48,356
I just got crowned
Serpent King.
474
00:24:48,399 --> 00:24:50,619
Congratulations, bro.
475
00:24:50,663 --> 00:24:52,360
In that case,
why don't you guys focus
476
00:24:52,403 --> 00:24:54,754
on getting people
to the El Royale
for the town hall.
477
00:24:54,797 --> 00:24:58,018
And we'll have answers
for people's questions, Toni,
I promise.
478
00:25:15,035 --> 00:25:17,341
Miss Blossom.
479
00:25:18,255 --> 00:25:19,169
Look what I found.
480
00:25:20,388 --> 00:25:23,260
Skeletons, Nana.
Human skeletons.
481
00:25:23,304 --> 00:25:26,568
Our mines are choked
with God-and-Jason knows
how many.
482
00:25:26,612 --> 00:25:29,919
Brittania and I discovered
a veritable bone yard.
483
00:25:29,963 --> 00:25:32,095
Since you seem to know where
all the bodies are buried,
484
00:25:32,139 --> 00:25:33,749
I'm assuming
you know about these.
485
00:25:33,793 --> 00:25:37,840
Yes, I was wondering
if they'd ever be found.
486
00:25:37,884 --> 00:25:38,885
The Forgotten.
487
00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:41,061
"The Forgotten"?
488
00:25:51,288 --> 00:25:55,249
It all began
with an ancestor of ours,
489
00:25:55,292 --> 00:25:57,730
one Abigail Blossom.
490
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,995
The year was 1890.
491
00:26:02,038 --> 00:26:03,953
Thornhill still stood,
of course,
492
00:26:03,997 --> 00:26:07,087
but it was
a girl's school then.
493
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:10,873
Riverdale was a hateful
and backward place then.
494
00:26:10,917 --> 00:26:14,529
The townspeople were
suspicious of Abigail,
495
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:16,313
who had no husband
496
00:26:16,357 --> 00:26:18,794
and no intention of taking one.
497
00:26:18,838 --> 00:26:23,190
They'd harassed Abigail
and the girls in her care
for months.
498
00:26:23,233 --> 00:26:26,062
They knew there was
palladium to be found
499
00:26:26,106 --> 00:26:28,325
in the mines under her groves
and wanted
500
00:26:28,369 --> 00:26:29,457
to buy them from her.
501
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:31,415
But she refused.
502
00:26:31,459 --> 00:26:34,854
So, they decided
to steal it instead.
503
00:26:38,161 --> 00:26:40,424
They came to Thornhill
504
00:26:40,468 --> 00:26:43,602
armed with pitchforks
and torches.
505
00:26:46,779 --> 00:26:48,084
No!
There she is!
506
00:26:48,128 --> 00:26:50,217
No! No! No!
507
00:26:56,789 --> 00:26:59,139
Oh, they
had it all planned out.
508
00:26:59,182 --> 00:27:02,533
They accused her
of being a witch.
509
00:27:02,577 --> 00:27:06,146
And they burned her
at the stake
510
00:27:06,189 --> 00:27:08,931
in the groves
surrounding Thornhill.
511
00:27:18,462 --> 00:27:20,160
Who, Nana?
512
00:27:20,203 --> 00:27:23,946
Who were these
vicious hooligans?
These killers?
513
00:27:23,990 --> 00:27:26,383
Brace yourself, child.
514
00:27:26,427 --> 00:27:30,126
The primary conspirators were
the ancestors
515
00:27:30,170 --> 00:27:33,086
of your so-called compatriots.
516
00:27:34,130 --> 00:27:36,698
Archibald Andrews,
517
00:27:36,742 --> 00:27:39,440
Jedediah Jones,
518
00:27:39,483 --> 00:27:41,050
and Beatrice Cooper.
519
00:27:43,618 --> 00:27:45,185
With her dying words,
520
00:27:45,228 --> 00:27:47,927
she cursed them and the others,
521
00:27:47,970 --> 00:27:50,756
damning them to tragedy,
as well.
522
00:27:51,626 --> 00:27:53,149
After her death,
523
00:27:53,193 --> 00:27:55,282
the townspeople claimed
the mines
524
00:27:55,325 --> 00:27:57,066
and began to dig for palladium.
525
00:27:58,024 --> 00:27:59,678
But there was a collapse,
526
00:27:59,721 --> 00:28:02,681
killing and entombing
an entire generation
527
00:28:02,724 --> 00:28:06,423
of Riverdale's
fathers and sons.
528
00:28:06,467 --> 00:28:09,775
Some say
the collapse was caused
529
00:28:09,818 --> 00:28:11,602
by Abigail's curse.
530
00:28:13,082 --> 00:28:16,825
- Nana, how do you
know all this?
- Why,
531
00:28:16,869 --> 00:28:20,046
it's written
in Abigail's journal.
532
00:28:20,089 --> 00:28:23,614
Would you like
to read it, child?
533
00:28:23,658 --> 00:28:25,834
I shouldn't
have called you, Grandpa.
534
00:28:25,878 --> 00:28:29,185
It wasn't my intention that you
would come up from Florida.
535
00:28:29,229 --> 00:28:31,318
The worst part of all this is
536
00:28:31,361 --> 00:28:33,973
that I feel like I've
let you down.
537
00:28:35,235 --> 00:28:36,802
What are you talking about?
538
00:28:36,845 --> 00:28:38,499
You defied your father
539
00:28:38,542 --> 00:28:40,066
and took over
a struggling business.
540
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,330
And don't forget, I know
541
00:28:43,373 --> 00:28:46,942
the debt you assumed when you
took over the diner.
542
00:28:46,986 --> 00:28:49,336
You've been paying it down
every month.
543
00:28:49,379 --> 00:28:52,121
None of that matters
if we can't pay for repairs.
544
00:28:52,165 --> 00:28:55,211
We'll try to get
some of Hiram's leftovers.
545
00:28:55,255 --> 00:28:57,779
And I'll cover the rest
with my retirement money.
546
00:28:57,823 --> 00:29:00,782
What? Grandpa, no,
I'm not letting you do that.
547
00:29:00,826 --> 00:29:03,350
I'd be doing it for me
as much as you.
548
00:29:03,393 --> 00:29:06,745
I miss the adrenaline
of working.
549
00:29:06,788 --> 00:29:07,702
I miss my customers.
550
00:29:08,964 --> 00:29:10,749
So I'm giving you my nest egg
551
00:29:11,575 --> 00:29:13,621
on the condition
552
00:29:13,664 --> 00:29:16,276
that you let me come back
to Pop's and work with you.
553
00:29:18,321 --> 00:29:20,106
Grandpa, I would love that.
554
00:29:21,890 --> 00:29:24,632
You know, we could propose a
civil council.
555
00:29:24,675 --> 00:29:27,504
It's a system that works,
and it's fair.
556
00:29:27,548 --> 00:29:30,464
Well, if fair is the criteria,
then we should govern
by committee.
557
00:29:30,507 --> 00:29:33,162
We can hold town meetings
for every big decision.
558
00:29:33,206 --> 00:29:36,035
It's purely democratic,
and everyone would
get an equal say.
559
00:29:36,078 --> 00:29:37,819
That would be anarchy.
560
00:29:37,863 --> 00:29:39,908
What if we had a mayor who had
to answer to a council?
561
00:29:39,952 --> 00:29:41,692
Best of both worlds.
562
00:29:41,736 --> 00:29:44,173
I think the mayor
is a non-starter
for a lot of people
563
00:29:44,217 --> 00:29:46,872
after the way
my father abused his power.
564
00:29:46,915 --> 00:29:49,178
How ironic yet fitting.
565
00:29:49,222 --> 00:29:50,614
The descendants of those who
committed Riverdale's
566
00:29:50,658 --> 00:29:53,139
original sin
debating its future.
567
00:29:53,182 --> 00:29:55,054
Well, I refuse
to allow you four
568
00:29:55,097 --> 00:29:58,100
to perpetuate any
further cycles of violence
and bloodshed.
569
00:30:00,624 --> 00:30:02,235
Cheryl, what the hell
are you talking about?
570
00:30:05,194 --> 00:30:07,240
So, to be clear,
571
00:30:07,283 --> 00:30:09,677
none of my
ancestors were involved.
572
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,027
No. But the same can't be said
for your three conspirators,
573
00:30:12,071 --> 00:30:13,768
who killed my dear Abigail.
574
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:16,771
Therefore, I'm demanding
a formal apology
575
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:18,860
and acknowledgement
of this travesty.
576
00:30:18,904 --> 00:30:20,470
Publicly and immediately.
577
00:30:20,514 --> 00:30:23,909
Cheryl, this story
really is tragic,
578
00:30:23,952 --> 00:30:26,650
but those are our ancestors,
not us.
579
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:28,261
Not to mention,
580
00:30:28,304 --> 00:30:29,915
we need everyone's support
at tomorrow's meeting.
581
00:30:29,958 --> 00:30:32,569
If we lead
with this crazy story,
582
00:30:32,613 --> 00:30:34,702
it might distract people
from the task at hand.
583
00:30:34,745 --> 00:30:36,356
- Reincorporation.
584
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:38,619
I've spent years atoning
for the sins of my ancestors.
585
00:30:38,662 --> 00:30:42,188
And now you want me
to forget about it and move on?
586
00:30:42,231 --> 00:30:44,146
Only until the town is stable.
587
00:30:44,190 --> 00:30:45,713
Cheryl, please,
588
00:30:45,756 --> 00:30:47,454
this is Riverdale's one chance
to be reborn.
589
00:30:47,497 --> 00:30:49,238
"Reborn"?
590
00:30:49,282 --> 00:30:52,111
This town sits over
a vast graveyard
of dead miners.
591
00:30:52,154 --> 00:30:53,808
The roots of the trees
in my groves have,
592
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:56,202
over time, become entwined
with those corpses.
593
00:30:56,245 --> 00:30:58,334
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
594
00:30:58,378 --> 00:31:00,206
For decades,
the trees have been nourished
595
00:31:00,249 --> 00:31:01,903
by the poisonous dead.
596
00:31:01,947 --> 00:31:04,471
My sap, my syrup,
the very life-blood
597
00:31:04,514 --> 00:31:06,429
of Riverdale, has been polluted
by the remains
598
00:31:06,473 --> 00:31:08,954
of so many fathers and sons.
599
00:31:08,997 --> 00:31:11,391
The only chance this town has
of being reborn
600
00:31:11,434 --> 00:31:13,872
is for you to come clean
and beg for my...
601
00:31:13,915 --> 00:31:15,569
my forgiveness.
602
00:31:17,527 --> 00:31:18,920
See you at the meeting.
603
00:31:18,964 --> 00:31:20,400
And I pray
you do the right thing.
604
00:31:24,926 --> 00:31:27,711
Okay. Today,
our families and neighbors
605
00:31:27,755 --> 00:31:28,974
are going to decide on
606
00:31:29,017 --> 00:31:31,541
whether or not
to reincorporate this town.
607
00:31:31,585 --> 00:31:32,803
Whether Riverdale lives...
608
00:31:34,109 --> 00:31:36,459
or whether Riverdale dies.
609
00:31:36,503 --> 00:31:39,201
Regardless, we will be ready
to publish.
610
00:31:39,245 --> 00:31:42,770
But not as the Blue and Gold.
611
00:31:42,813 --> 00:31:44,641
We are now
the Riverdale Choice.
612
00:31:44,685 --> 00:31:47,775
A new, free press
for all of Riverdale.
613
00:31:47,818 --> 00:31:49,820
Whatever happens in our town,
we're gonna be there
614
00:31:49,864 --> 00:31:53,346
to report on it,
truthfully and without bias.
615
00:31:53,389 --> 00:31:55,739
And whoever is in charge,
616
00:31:55,783 --> 00:31:58,394
we will hold them accountable,
617
00:31:58,438 --> 00:32:00,570
even if they're our friends.
618
00:32:00,614 --> 00:32:02,181
Especially if they're
our friends.
619
00:32:02,224 --> 00:32:04,966
Okay. We have a town meeting
to cover. Let's go.
620
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:09,884
Reginald,
621
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:12,800
I've been thinking about
your idea for a casino
in Riverdale,
622
00:32:12,843 --> 00:32:16,369
and I think we
should go for it.
623
00:32:16,412 --> 00:32:18,458
Really? What about New York?
624
00:32:18,501 --> 00:32:21,940
We could go back to New York
and to be two nameless,
625
00:32:21,983 --> 00:32:24,768
faceless traders
on Wall Street, yes.
626
00:32:24,812 --> 00:32:27,249
Or we could stay in Riverdale
627
00:32:27,293 --> 00:32:29,773
and the king and queen
of the roost,
628
00:32:29,817 --> 00:32:32,037
working for ourselves,
calling the shots.
629
00:32:33,647 --> 00:32:35,605
You're preaching to the choir.
630
00:32:35,649 --> 00:32:40,132
And I was thinking
maybe we can use
Pearls and Posh as a cover.
631
00:32:40,175 --> 00:32:41,655
We may not even have
to do that.
632
00:32:44,353 --> 00:32:46,529
All right. Could I get
everyone's attention, please?
633
00:32:46,573 --> 00:32:47,878
We'd like
to begin the proceedings.
634
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:54,929
Now, some of you
knew my father.
635
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,801
He believed in Riverdale,
636
00:32:57,845 --> 00:32:59,803
not because it was perfect,
637
00:32:59,847 --> 00:33:01,631
but because he saw
the potential in it.
638
00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:05,331
And tonight we're not looking
to reincorporate
639
00:33:05,374 --> 00:33:07,724
a town that was, but a town
640
00:33:07,768 --> 00:33:10,901
that might one day be,
with the proper leadership.
641
00:33:10,945 --> 00:33:13,034
Which is why, as of tonight,
642
00:33:13,078 --> 00:33:15,428
we're hoping
that it won't be a mayor
who leads us into the future,
643
00:33:15,471 --> 00:33:18,909
but instead, a council of four
who will guide us
644
00:33:18,953 --> 00:33:20,389
- every step of the way.
Halt.
645
00:33:21,260 --> 00:33:22,609
I've heard enough.
646
00:33:22,652 --> 00:33:24,176
And who, pray tell
647
00:33:24,219 --> 00:33:26,569
will comprise this council
of four narcissists?
648
00:33:26,613 --> 00:33:30,660
Let me guess. You, Betty,
Veronica and Jughead.
649
00:33:30,704 --> 00:33:33,446
Actually, we were going
to propose the council be...
650
00:33:35,143 --> 00:33:38,016
Tabitha Tate, Toni Topaz,
651
00:33:39,104 --> 00:33:40,148
Alice Smith,
652
00:33:41,671 --> 00:33:42,846
and my Uncle Frank.
653
00:33:44,544 --> 00:33:46,067
I see.
654
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:48,156
And what about
the past, Archie?
655
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,506
Cheryl, tonight's
not about the past,
656
00:33:50,550 --> 00:33:52,204
- but I promise you--
- No!
657
00:33:52,247 --> 00:33:54,510
No more empty promises.
658
00:33:56,469 --> 00:33:59,080
Let the official, public record
show that from this moment on,
659
00:33:59,124 --> 00:34:00,777
Thornhill and her lands
660
00:34:00,821 --> 00:34:03,476
shall cede from the corrupt
township of Riverdale.
661
00:34:03,519 --> 00:34:04,912
Whatever happens tonight,
662
00:34:04,955 --> 00:34:07,132
you lot will have
no jurisdiction over it
663
00:34:07,175 --> 00:34:08,611
or its blessed inhabitants.
664
00:34:08,655 --> 00:34:11,005
- Cheryl, come on.
- Nay, cousin!
665
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:13,268
What is decreed is decreed.
666
00:34:13,312 --> 00:34:15,140
Ta-ta. Come along, Brittania.
667
00:34:20,841 --> 00:34:22,451
Just to be clear,
668
00:34:22,495 --> 00:34:25,541
these four nominees
have deep roots in Riverdale.
669
00:34:25,585 --> 00:34:27,804
And they'll fight
to make it better, stronger
670
00:34:27,848 --> 00:34:29,458
and more inclusive than ever.
671
00:34:29,502 --> 00:34:30,720
They will each swear an oath
672
00:34:30,764 --> 00:34:32,331
to put Riverdale's
collective needs
673
00:34:32,374 --> 00:34:34,115
before any single individual.
674
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:35,943
Now, is there
anyone here tonight
675
00:34:35,986 --> 00:34:37,597
that opposes these
four nominees?
676
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:41,731
In that case,
677
00:34:41,775 --> 00:34:43,385
all in favor to reincorporate
678
00:34:43,429 --> 00:34:45,561
the township of Riverdale
under this council of four?
679
00:34:49,783 --> 00:34:51,872
Unanimous.
680
00:34:51,915 --> 00:34:53,221
Along with
the signatures collected,
681
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:55,876
the ayes have it.
682
00:34:55,919 --> 00:34:58,661
Riverdale is officially
back on the map.
683
00:35:11,021 --> 00:35:13,763
At the risk of putting the cart
before the horse,
684
00:35:13,807 --> 00:35:17,158
Reggie and I have an idea
for Riverdale. A big idea.
685
00:35:17,202 --> 00:35:19,378
That we think
you're really gonna love.
686
00:35:19,421 --> 00:35:20,640
Okay, what is it?
687
00:35:20,683 --> 00:35:22,468
Picture, if you will,
688
00:35:22,511 --> 00:35:25,166
a stunning,
full-service, white-glove,
689
00:35:25,210 --> 00:35:28,387
family-friendly casino
within Riverdale's borders,
690
00:35:28,430 --> 00:35:30,954
which will provide a slew
of new jobs for our residents,
691
00:35:30,998 --> 00:35:33,609
as well as a fresh,
robust cash flow.
692
00:35:33,653 --> 00:35:35,959
With our expertise
and your support,
693
00:35:36,003 --> 00:35:38,136
our little town could be
the next...
694
00:35:38,962 --> 00:35:40,399
Atlantic City.
695
00:35:40,442 --> 00:35:42,270
So, you're wanting
to turn Riverdale
696
00:35:42,314 --> 00:35:44,707
into the modern day
Sodom and Gomorrah?
697
00:35:46,753 --> 00:35:48,450
Look, we really appreciate
your enthusiasm.
698
00:35:48,494 --> 00:35:49,886
It's just that
we have traffic lights
699
00:35:49,930 --> 00:35:51,236
and potholes to fix first--
700
00:35:51,279 --> 00:35:53,890
Not to mention Pop's.
701
00:35:53,934 --> 00:35:55,979
I think what we're saying
is that we're intrigued,
702
00:35:56,023 --> 00:35:58,199
but how about you
bring a full proposal
703
00:35:58,243 --> 00:36:00,984
to next month's meeting?
And we'll take it from there.
704
00:36:02,986 --> 00:36:04,858
Okay. See you next month.
705
00:36:12,953 --> 00:36:14,955
So...
706
00:36:14,998 --> 00:36:17,175
Riverdale lives
to fight another day.
707
00:36:18,828 --> 00:36:21,091
Nice job, Arch.
708
00:36:21,135 --> 00:36:22,180
Yeah, we'll see.
709
00:36:24,269 --> 00:36:27,315
What about Cheryl?
Should we be worried?
710
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:29,143
No, she'll come around.
711
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,232
- Yeah.
- What you doing later tonight?
712
00:36:33,974 --> 00:36:35,149
How did it go?
713
00:36:35,193 --> 00:36:37,238
Was our Abigail avenged?
714
00:36:37,282 --> 00:36:39,284
- Hardly, Nana.
- Oh.
715
00:36:39,327 --> 00:36:42,330
They don't give a whit
about the sins of the past.
716
00:36:42,374 --> 00:36:44,376
Will Riverdale
ever learn?
717
00:36:44,419 --> 00:36:45,942
Well, perhaps.
718
00:36:45,986 --> 00:36:48,031
But they will need help.
719
00:36:48,075 --> 00:36:51,078
And Abigail must be honored.
720
00:36:52,035 --> 00:36:53,211
What's that?
721
00:36:53,254 --> 00:36:56,083
The last words she ever spoke
722
00:36:56,126 --> 00:36:59,391
as she was being burned alive
at the stake.
723
00:37:00,696 --> 00:37:01,654
You mean the curse?
724
00:37:02,611 --> 00:37:04,918
Speak the speech, child.
725
00:37:04,961 --> 00:37:07,834
It will be a fitting
tribute to our ancestor.
726
00:37:14,449 --> 00:37:16,146
It's only fitting that
727
00:37:16,190 --> 00:37:20,107
these words spoken at the end
of one Blossom chapter...
728
00:37:20,150 --> 00:37:23,241
shall be uttered
as a new one unfurls.
729
00:37:24,764 --> 00:37:26,244
From this day on,
730
00:37:26,287 --> 00:37:28,637
Thornhill will no longer
be home to a ministry,
731
00:37:28,681 --> 00:37:30,726
but to a school
732
00:37:30,770 --> 00:37:32,554
modeled after Abigail's.
733
00:37:32,598 --> 00:37:34,295
An academy for lost
and wayward girls.
734
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,386
As Abigail herself once said
these words...
735
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:43,130
"Archibald Andrews,
736
00:37:43,173 --> 00:37:45,698
Jedediah Jones,
and Beatrice Cooper.
737
00:37:45,741 --> 00:37:48,091
I repudiate you
with my dying breath.
738
00:37:48,135 --> 00:37:50,529
And in Satan's name,
I curse you.
739
00:37:50,572 --> 00:37:53,532
Burn me, but you will never
escape my wrath,
740
00:37:53,575 --> 00:37:55,316
nor Satan's.
741
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,926
The unchained elements
of the power of darkness are
742
00:37:56,970 --> 00:37:58,537
lying in ambush.
743
00:37:58,580 --> 00:38:00,365
Beware.
744
00:38:00,408 --> 00:38:03,498
My revenge will strike down you
and your accursed houses.
745
00:38:03,542 --> 00:38:07,328
And I will bathe in the blood
of your sons and daughters.
746
00:38:07,372 --> 00:38:10,331
Immortal, I shall return,
again and again,
747
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:12,507
to torment and destroy you."
748
00:38:12,551 --> 00:38:14,074
And destroy you!
749
00:38:46,411 --> 00:38:48,151
What do you guys think?
750
00:38:48,195 --> 00:38:49,588
I think it's your
best work yet, Archie.
751
00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:52,547
Thanks, Alice.
752
00:38:52,591 --> 00:38:54,288
But I mean,
it's just a plywood sign.
753
00:38:54,332 --> 00:38:55,811
- Nah.
754
00:38:55,855 --> 00:38:57,465
It's everything you've
done this year, Arch.
755
00:39:09,869 --> 00:39:11,392
That's bizarre.
756
00:39:11,436 --> 00:39:13,220
RIVW weatherman didn't call
for wind today.
757
00:39:14,656 --> 00:39:16,354
Ooh.
758
00:39:16,397 --> 00:39:18,660
This wind.
759
00:39:18,704 --> 00:39:21,533
Yeah, it feels like someone's
walking on my grave. Come on.
760
00:39:25,798 --> 00:39:27,060
Very good.
761
00:39:27,103 --> 00:39:29,279
From a classroom
to a boiler room.
762
00:39:29,323 --> 00:39:30,324
Only in Riverdale.
763
00:39:32,718 --> 00:39:34,415
How are we looking
back here, partner?
764
00:39:34,459 --> 00:39:36,765
Well, it's not
the Caesars Palace...
765
00:39:38,463 --> 00:39:39,507
but we'll get there.
766
00:39:40,421 --> 00:39:41,466
Of that, Reggie,
767
00:39:42,336 --> 00:39:44,120

00:40:21,375 --> 00:40:22,724
I mean, can we try again?

We can.
