1
00:00:01,042 --> 00:00:03,811
The weirdest thing about
pretending to be dead is that after a while,
2
00:00:03,847 --> 00:00:06,413
you actually start feeling
like you're dead.
3
00:00:06,449 --> 00:00:09,052
As in, "dead
as a doornail" dead.
4
00:00:12,723 --> 00:00:15,825
For starters, I was
underground, as if in a tomb.
5
00:00:15,861 --> 00:00:18,694
Granted, I was hiding out
in Dilton's doomsday bunker
6
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:20,532
and not in a coffin, but still.
7
00:00:21,901 --> 00:00:24,368
Two weeks, no sunlight,
8
00:00:24,404 --> 00:00:27,404
with no sense of time
or its passing?
9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,208
It's gotta be what
limbo feels like, right?
10
00:00:31,145 --> 00:00:33,545
Other similarities
to being dead.
11
00:00:33,581 --> 00:00:37,583
Not one, but two obituaries
about me ran.
12
00:00:37,619 --> 00:00:41,254
A rather perfunctory one
in The Riverdale Register.
13
00:00:41,290 --> 00:00:44,093
A second, more irreverent one
in the Blue and Gold.
14
00:00:45,194 --> 00:00:46,496
I liked that one.
15
00:00:48,432 --> 00:00:50,735
I had a funeral. Well, a wake.
16
00:00:52,369 --> 00:00:54,736
I watched it on my laptop.
17
00:00:54,772 --> 00:00:57,776
Live-streamed from a camera Betty
had set up in the living room.
18
00:01:03,282 --> 00:01:05,883
Betty and I suspected that
the Stonies would show up,
19
00:01:05,919 --> 00:01:07,888
and, sure enough, they did.
20
00:01:08,889 --> 00:01:10,488
We wanted to study them
21
00:01:10,524 --> 00:01:13,558
to see if anything they did
was suspicious.
22
00:01:13,594 --> 00:01:15,728
Not that there was any doubt
in our mind about their guilt.
23
00:01:15,764 --> 00:01:17,897
The Preppies had stone-cold
murdered me
24
00:01:17,933 --> 00:01:19,601
and were trying
to pin it on Betty.
25
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:22,237
We just couldn't prove it.
26
00:01:22,705 --> 00:01:23,806
Not yet.
27
00:01:24,707 --> 00:01:26,239
Meanwhile...
28
00:01:26,275 --> 00:01:29,243
The hardest part of playing dead
was letting everyone believe
29
00:01:29,279 --> 00:01:31,415
I was in
the semi-sweet hereafter.
30
00:01:32,349 --> 00:01:33,785
Our family, our friends.
31
00:01:35,286 --> 00:01:37,219
The lies we had to tell.
32
00:01:37,255 --> 00:01:39,856
The things we had to do
to sell that illusion.
33
00:01:39,892 --> 00:01:42,626
Like pretending that my bereft
girlfriend had found comfort
34
00:01:42,662 --> 00:01:46,330
in the strong, steely arms
of my best bud.
35
00:01:46,366 --> 00:01:49,868
Which turned out to be the
greatest misdirect of them all.
36
00:01:49,904 --> 00:01:52,540
Of course, we needed to let
some people know the truth.
37
00:01:53,441 --> 00:01:55,374
Except in one case.
38
00:01:55,410 --> 00:01:56,745
My kid sister Jellybean?
39
00:01:57,579 --> 00:01:58,578
Didn't have to be told.
40
00:01:58,614 --> 00:02:01,915
Oh, you found the fake blood.
Thanks, Jellybean.
41
00:02:01,951 --> 00:02:03,586
Do you need it for Jughead?
42
00:02:04,854 --> 00:02:06,688
What? What do you...
What do you mean?
43
00:02:06,724 --> 00:02:08,492
Do you need it
to help my brother?
44
00:02:11,562 --> 00:02:14,363
Jellybean, do you know
where Jughead is?
45
00:02:14,399 --> 00:02:16,933
I heard you whispering on the
phone to Charles last night.
46
00:02:16,969 --> 00:02:18,902
The walls are super thin.
47
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:20,671
You don't have to tell me
where he is,
48
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:21,808
just that he's okay.
49
00:02:22,842 --> 00:02:24,544
Is he? Okay?
50
00:02:27,347 --> 00:02:28,613
Can you keep a secret?
51
00:02:29,984 --> 00:02:31,583
We brought my dad
into it pretty quick too.
52
00:02:31,619 --> 00:02:32,887
Betty.
53
00:02:33,488 --> 00:02:35,354
I, uh...
54
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:36,990
I gave that bloody rock
to Charles,
55
00:02:37,026 --> 00:02:39,492
he said the FBI is gonna
have it tested.
56
00:02:39,528 --> 00:02:41,729
And when they do,
they will tell you that it's covered
57
00:02:41,765 --> 00:02:43,831
in fake blood that you can buy
at a drugstore.
58
00:02:43,867 --> 00:02:46,333
The hell are you
talking about?
59
00:02:46,369 --> 00:02:47,836
I don't want you
to worry anymore.
60
00:02:47,872 --> 00:02:50,441
Mr. Jones, I'm really sorry
that you've been worrying.
61
00:02:51,008 --> 00:02:53,643
Jughead's fine.
62
00:02:53,679 --> 00:02:55,678
He's... Okay, he's not fine,
but he's okay.
63
00:02:55,714 --> 00:02:58,448
Hold on, you know
where Jughead is?
64
00:02:58,484 --> 00:02:59,919
Yes.
65
00:03:02,789 --> 00:03:04,488
I will tell you
everything, okay?
66
00:03:04,524 --> 00:03:06,691
But we really, really
need your help, please.
67
00:03:06,727 --> 00:03:08,929
I'm afraid to ask,
but what kind of help?
68
00:03:10,699 --> 00:03:11,933
For starters,
69
00:03:13,101 --> 00:03:15,735
a search party.
70
00:03:15,771 --> 00:03:18,007
Archie went rogue
and told his mom too.
71
00:03:27,384 --> 00:03:29,053
Mom, I have to confess
something to you.
72
00:03:30,889 --> 00:03:33,723
And then there was
Veronica's sister, Hermosa,
73
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:35,525
who was sniffing around,
looking for bones.
74
00:03:35,561 --> 00:03:37,894
All right.
What do you wanna know?
75
00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:41,535
Let me ask you straight up,
hermanita.
76
00:03:43,670 --> 00:03:46,337
Did you help Betty
kill her boyfriend?
77
00:03:46,373 --> 00:03:48,974
What? No, why would I do that?
78
00:03:49,010 --> 00:03:51,878
Because that's the kind of thing
that secret girlfriends do.
79
00:03:51,914 --> 00:03:54,547
They kill each other's boyfriends
so they can be together.
80
00:03:54,583 --> 00:03:58,418
Okay, I don't know
what kind of crypto-lesbian
81
00:03:58,454 --> 00:04:01,421
pulp fiction you're conjuring, Hermosa,
but Betty and I are just friends.
82
00:04:01,457 --> 00:04:03,727
Well, then, what did happen
to that dead Torombolo?
83
00:04:05,429 --> 00:04:07,662
Either you can tell me
or I'll just keep digging.
84
00:04:07,698 --> 00:04:10,001
- Don't forget, I'm a licensed...
- Private investigator, right.
85
00:04:13,672 --> 00:04:15,975
Not sure why I didn't think
of this before...
86
00:04:17,577 --> 00:04:19,977
but maybe you could help us
with something.
87
00:04:20,013 --> 00:04:21,480
Me, Betty, and Archie.
88
00:04:24,618 --> 00:04:27,452
How much do you charge,
Hermosa?
89
00:04:27,488 --> 00:04:29,588
And is there a discount
for family members?
90
00:04:29,624 --> 00:04:32,457
In the months that
followed, people will ask us,
91
00:04:32,493 --> 00:04:34,460
"Did we need to do it?"
92
00:04:34,496 --> 00:04:36,032
Go to such extreme lengths?
93
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,702
Maybe, maybe not.
94
00:04:39,769 --> 00:04:41,371
But this I did know...
95
00:04:44,041 --> 00:04:47,409
If I was going to recover without
the Preppies trying to kill me again
96
00:04:47,445 --> 00:04:49,745
and figure out how to solve
my own murder,
97
00:04:49,781 --> 00:04:53,385
I needed the illusion to be
perfect to buy myself time.
98
00:04:57,523 --> 00:04:59,891
So while above me,
a world without Jughead
99
00:04:59,927 --> 00:05:02,694
continued spinning forward,
100
00:05:02,730 --> 00:05:06,065
I pored over every scrap
of evidence we'd gathered,
101
00:05:06,101 --> 00:05:09,168
went over every detail
of my time at Stonewall Prep,
102
00:05:09,204 --> 00:05:13,039
looking for hidden patterns,
hints and clues.
103
00:05:13,075 --> 00:05:15,909
But this was a different kind of mystery
than the ones we'd tackled before.
104
00:05:15,945 --> 00:05:17,945
This wasn't a "whodunnit."
105
00:05:17,981 --> 00:05:20,214
This was a "whydunnit."
106
00:05:20,250 --> 00:05:21,849
More psychological.
107
00:05:21,885 --> 00:05:25,422
I needed to get under my suspects'
skin, inside their heads.
108
00:05:26,925 --> 00:05:28,523
I had to let my intuition
take over
109
00:05:28,559 --> 00:05:31,060
to draw these
disparate strands together.
110
00:05:31,096 --> 00:05:34,497
The missing Stonewall Four. The
"accidental deaths" of DuPont's classmates.
111
00:05:34,533 --> 00:05:37,137
My attempted murder.
How were they all connected?
112
00:05:38,638 --> 00:05:40,908
A key piece of information
came from Hermosa.
113
00:05:41,976 --> 00:05:43,577
Which was that Donna...
114
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:45,846
Jug?
115
00:05:48,250 --> 00:05:49,451
Jug?
116
00:05:50,552 --> 00:05:52,585
Are you okay?
117
00:05:52,621 --> 00:05:55,722
Yeah, sorry, I was just going
over everything one more time.
118
00:05:55,758 --> 00:05:58,860
- What's up, did they find him?
- Yeah, yes. We did.
119
00:05:58,896 --> 00:06:01,465
- Well, I mean, Charles and FP did.
- And did he agree?
120
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:03,665
Completely.
121
00:06:03,701 --> 00:06:05,602
He's showering
as we speak.
122
00:06:07,706 --> 00:06:11,107
- So are we doing this or what?
- Oh, yeah.
123
00:06:11,143 --> 00:06:13,746
We are gonna blow Stonewall
Prep out of the water.
124
00:06:17,958 --> 00:06:22,958
Subtitles by explosiveskull
www.OpenSubtitles.org
125
00:06:26,027 --> 00:06:28,094
Crime and Punishment.
126
00:06:28,130 --> 00:06:31,600
A novel of murder
and its psychological toll.
127
00:06:32,801 --> 00:06:34,835
The floor is open.
128
00:06:34,871 --> 00:06:38,008
Any thoughts regarding
Dostoevsky's take on morality?
129
00:06:42,179 --> 00:06:43,181
Hey, guys.
130
00:06:46,318 --> 00:06:47,917
Well, what, did you
even miss me?
131
00:06:47,953 --> 00:06:49,152
You gotta be kidding me.
132
00:06:49,188 --> 00:06:50,887
Mr. Jones.
133
00:06:50,923 --> 00:06:53,323
I... I don't understand.
We all thought...
134
00:06:53,359 --> 00:06:55,326
That I was dead? Well...
135
00:06:55,362 --> 00:06:57,594
Yeah, actually for a minute
there, I did too.
136
00:06:57,630 --> 00:06:58,529
Yeah.
137
00:06:58,565 --> 00:07:01,001
Hey, what's that oft-used
Mark Twain quote?
138
00:07:02,337 --> 00:07:04,303
"Rumors of my death have been
greatly exaggerated."
139
00:07:04,339 --> 00:07:07,073
What is happening right now?
140
00:07:07,109 --> 00:07:10,012
It is called "getting
your comeuppance," Joan.
141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,549
You guys are reading
Crime and Punishment, huh?
142
00:07:15,752 --> 00:07:18,256
How apropos.
143
00:07:21,159 --> 00:07:24,926
You know, the one kind of crime story that
we never really touched upon in this seminar
144
00:07:24,962 --> 00:07:28,333
was the time-tested genre
of a locked room mystery.
145
00:07:29,968 --> 00:07:32,069
Where all the suspects
are sequestered in a room.
146
00:07:32,105 --> 00:07:33,337
One or more of them
could be the killer,
147
00:07:33,373 --> 00:07:37,075
but the door is not unlocked
until the identity is revealed.
148
00:07:37,111 --> 00:07:38,611
Betty, could you do the honor?
149
00:07:47,122 --> 00:07:49,289
The next bell doesn't ring
for half an hour.
150
00:07:49,325 --> 00:07:52,726
So for the next 30 minutes,
your asses belong to us.
151
00:07:52,762 --> 00:07:54,064
I knew you weren't really dead.
152
00:07:55,132 --> 00:07:57,632
Good job, Donna.
153
00:07:57,668 --> 00:08:00,102
And yet since you failed
to prove it or find Jughead,
154
00:08:00,138 --> 00:08:03,739
we had time to figure out all the
twists and turns of this murder-mystery
155
00:08:03,775 --> 00:08:05,975
that we've all been living
for the past few months.
156
00:08:06,011 --> 00:08:07,510
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
157
00:08:07,546 --> 00:08:10,414
Don't worry 'cause I'm gonna
take you through it, step by step.
158
00:08:10,450 --> 00:08:13,117
No, this is ridiculous.
Mr. DuPont, I'm calling security.
159
00:08:13,153 --> 00:08:15,853
Shut the hell up, Bret.
Like I said, for the next 30 minutes,
160
00:08:15,889 --> 00:08:18,056
we're in charge.
So, give me your cellphones.
161
00:08:18,092 --> 00:08:20,328
- Why the hell...
- Joan, just do what she says.
162
00:08:22,431 --> 00:08:24,263
We have nothing to hide.
163
00:08:24,299 --> 00:08:26,899
I'd get comfortable
if I were you guys
164
00:08:26,935 --> 00:08:29,403
'cause I'm going to take you
through it from the very beginning.
165
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:33,006
Starting with that very curious fact
that both Moose Mason and myself
166
00:08:33,042 --> 00:08:35,312
were invited to Stonewall Prep
during our senior year.
167
00:08:38,416 --> 00:08:39,650
Jughead?
168
00:08:40,084 --> 00:08:41,419
Moose!
169
00:08:42,187 --> 00:08:43,919
What the hell?
170
00:08:43,955 --> 00:08:45,855
It's good to see you.
171
00:08:45,891 --> 00:08:48,758
Was it like that when you met my
grandfather, Forsythe the First?
172
00:08:48,794 --> 00:08:50,461
He was asked to study
at Stonewall too.
173
00:08:50,497 --> 00:08:53,733
You were roommates with him,
weren't you, Mr. DuPont?
174
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:55,433
Yes.
175
00:08:55,469 --> 00:08:57,969
And you're very much
like him, Mr. Jones.
176
00:08:58,005 --> 00:09:01,441
Your grandfather was
an arrogant fool too.
177
00:09:01,477 --> 00:09:05,311
Why do you say that, huh?
178
00:09:05,347 --> 00:09:08,948
Because he had the gall to consider
himself worthy of your little inner circle?
179
00:09:08,984 --> 00:09:11,852
The first iteration of
Stonewall's Literary Society.
180
00:09:11,888 --> 00:09:14,021
What exactly is this proving,
Mr. Jones?
181
00:09:14,057 --> 00:09:17,192
That this is not a story
about a murder.
182
00:09:17,228 --> 00:09:20,731
This is a story about grandparents
and their grandchildren.
183
00:09:22,501 --> 00:09:26,171
Of the sins from one generation
being passed on to the next.
184
00:09:27,974 --> 00:09:30,340
Cycles of violence.
185
00:09:30,376 --> 00:09:32,045
Which brings me neatly
to my next point.
186
00:09:32,446 --> 00:09:33,945
Halloween.
187
00:09:33,981 --> 00:09:36,080
When I was drugged
by you psychos.
188
00:09:36,116 --> 00:09:37,284
I think I...
189
00:09:38,253 --> 00:09:40,452
I think I need some air.
190
00:09:40,488 --> 00:09:42,324
No.
191
00:09:43,925 --> 00:09:45,127
You need to lie down.
192
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:50,431
Say hello to
the Stonewall Four for us.
193
00:09:50,467 --> 00:09:54,302
Only to wake up in a
coffin and be let out a day later.
194
00:09:57,075 --> 00:09:59,775
To return to my dorm.
195
00:09:59,811 --> 00:10:02,512
Moose, you are not
going to believe what Bret...
196
00:10:02,548 --> 00:10:04,416
And find that Moose
had vanished.
197
00:10:06,586 --> 00:10:11,523
So naturally, I assumed he went out
the same way as the Stonewall Four,
198
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,426
that group of students
that mysteriously vanished
199
00:10:14,462 --> 00:10:17,028
while attending Stonewall Prep
over a few decades.
200
00:10:17,064 --> 00:10:18,264
Oh, here we go again.
201
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:21,367
Now, Moose's fate was more banal.
He joined the Army.
202
00:10:21,403 --> 00:10:26,273
But there's a twist! Mr. Chipping was
the one who encouraged Moose to enlist.
203
00:10:26,309 --> 00:10:29,042
But it was more like
forced him to.
204
00:10:29,078 --> 00:10:31,312
He was encouraging me to leave.
205
00:10:31,348 --> 00:10:33,915
Until Halloween night,
when it became more than a suggestion.
206
00:10:33,951 --> 00:10:35,783
I mean, he practically
shoved me out the door.
207
00:10:35,819 --> 00:10:39,388
So, what was the connection between Moose and
Chipping that would make him take his advice?
208
00:10:39,424 --> 00:10:42,858
He recruited me.
To play football.
209
00:10:42,894 --> 00:10:46,029
Wait. Mr. Chipping's the reason
why you went to Stonewall Prep?
210
00:10:46,065 --> 00:10:49,433
Chipping had recruited Moose
the same way he had Jughead
211
00:10:49,469 --> 00:10:52,371
and then ran him out
of Stonewall Prep.
212
00:10:52,407 --> 00:10:53,971
Meaning what, exactly?
213
00:10:54,007 --> 00:10:56,608
Meaning Chipping knew Moose
was going to get murdered
214
00:10:56,644 --> 00:10:58,611
and was trying to save
his life.
215
00:10:58,647 --> 00:11:01,180
And I would remember that next point.
It's gonna be on the qu...
216
00:11:01,216 --> 00:11:02,851
- Oh, Mr. J...
- Shut up!
217
00:11:04,621 --> 00:11:07,123
Mr. DuPont, as they say
in Lord of the Flies,
218
00:11:08,958 --> 00:11:10,226
I have the conch.
219
00:11:12,997 --> 00:11:17,567
Now, after Halloween is when
things got really interesting.
220
00:11:17,603 --> 00:11:19,969
See, that's when you announced
the writing competition.
221
00:11:20,005 --> 00:11:23,541
Chipping has written the last
four Baxter Brothers books.
222
00:11:23,577 --> 00:11:25,177
It's time he pass on
the torch.
223
00:11:25,213 --> 00:11:30,649
And someone in this very room is going
to be anointed the next ghostwriter.
224
00:11:30,685 --> 00:11:32,717
You had already taken a shine
to me, Mr. DuPont.
225
00:11:32,753 --> 00:11:35,421
You were asking about
my father and my grandfather.
226
00:11:35,457 --> 00:11:37,960
Your grandfather
was an excellent writer.
227
00:11:39,028 --> 00:11:40,426
Tell me, how's he doing?
228
00:11:40,462 --> 00:11:41,428
Does he still write?
229
00:11:41,464 --> 00:11:44,098
So imagine my surprise...
230
00:11:44,134 --> 00:11:48,102
when I found out that my
good-for-nothing drop-out grandfather
231
00:11:48,138 --> 00:11:52,107
had actually written the
original Baxter Brothers novel.
232
00:11:52,143 --> 00:11:54,177
Which a young Francis DuPont
would then steal from him.
233
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:57,546
It was a 100% legal
transaction. A sale.
234
00:11:57,582 --> 00:11:58,982
It's highway robbery.
235
00:11:59,018 --> 00:12:02,820
A measly five grand for an idea
that generated millions of dollars.
236
00:12:02,856 --> 00:12:06,691
You exploited Forsythe,
Mr. DuPont.
237
00:12:06,727 --> 00:12:09,661
You took advantage of a kid from
the wrong side of the tracks.
238
00:12:09,697 --> 00:12:12,097
And if that secret
ever came out,
239
00:12:12,133 --> 00:12:15,134
can you imagine
the damage that would do
240
00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:17,804
to the very valuable
Baxter Brothers brand?
241
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,674
Hell.
242
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:23,911
Someone might kill
to keep that secret.
243
00:12:23,947 --> 00:12:27,082
Which is exactly what we thought
happened with Mr. Chipping.
244
00:12:27,118 --> 00:12:29,618
I told Chipping
about my gramps.
245
00:12:29,654 --> 00:12:31,187
And then he talked
to you, Mr. DuPont.
246
00:12:31,223 --> 00:12:33,125
And the next day, well...
247
00:12:37,196 --> 00:12:39,532
I think we all remember
his dive out the window.
248
00:12:41,067 --> 00:12:42,599
I thought you had
urged him to do it.
249
00:12:42,635 --> 00:12:44,168
I thought you had
some leverage over Chipping.
250
00:12:44,204 --> 00:12:46,941
I mean, you guys were all part of the
same secret society, Quill and Skull.
251
00:12:48,209 --> 00:12:49,576
But it was actually you guys.
252
00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:53,679
It was your blank expressions
253
00:12:53,715 --> 00:12:55,081
as you watched him jump.
254
00:12:55,117 --> 00:12:56,786
Call an ambulance!
255
00:13:00,556 --> 00:13:01,725
I just couldn't shake it.
256
00:13:04,094 --> 00:13:06,594
That's when I knew
there was a deeper game afoot.
257
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:09,831
No, Chipping suicided 'cause he
was messing around with Donna,
258
00:13:09,867 --> 00:13:11,267
she ended it,
and he short-circuited.
259
00:13:11,303 --> 00:13:13,202
Except...
260
00:13:13,238 --> 00:13:17,207
they never really had
a physical relationship.
261
00:13:17,243 --> 00:13:19,143
Isn't that right, Donna?
262
00:13:19,179 --> 00:13:21,111
We had an affair
and it got out of hand.
263
00:13:21,147 --> 00:13:22,746
Mmm-hmm.
264
00:13:22,782 --> 00:13:25,650
Yes, an affair
that went down exactly
265
00:13:25,686 --> 00:13:29,221
like the affair that you had
with Mr. Kotter.
266
00:13:29,257 --> 00:13:32,094
- Uh...
- Except, I looked into it and...
267
00:13:33,329 --> 00:13:36,096
turns out there is
no Mr. Kotter.
268
00:13:36,132 --> 00:13:39,099
- Rupert, Rupert had demons.
- Oh, he did.
269
00:13:39,135 --> 00:13:41,805
Mrs. Chipping filled us in
on all of those.
270
00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:46,744
Yeah, she said that
he had been drinking more.
271
00:13:47,578 --> 00:13:48,777
And having trouble sleeping.
272
00:13:48,813 --> 00:13:51,547
...complaining about
the Baxter Brothers books.
273
00:13:51,583 --> 00:13:53,753
Wishing he'd never
gotten the contract.
274
00:13:54,820 --> 00:13:56,253
So then, we started
to ask ourselves,
275
00:13:56,289 --> 00:13:58,990
what would turn
the opportunity of a lifetime,
276
00:13:59,026 --> 00:14:02,159
winning the Baxter Brothers
contract, into a burden?
277
00:14:02,195 --> 00:14:04,265
An albatross? Any ideas?
278
00:14:06,601 --> 00:14:10,903
Your ghostwriter challenge was
to devise the perfect murder.
279
00:14:10,939 --> 00:14:12,872
What if the real challenge,
280
00:14:12,908 --> 00:14:17,745
the real price that someone had to
pay was to commit the perfect murder?
281
00:14:17,781 --> 00:14:20,016
In order to prove that you could write
it, first you had to do it.
282
00:14:21,718 --> 00:14:25,287
I mean, it kind of makes a
twisted, pathological sense, no?
283
00:14:25,323 --> 00:14:27,926
And that's what was tormenting
Mr. Chipping.
284
00:14:28,860 --> 00:14:30,593
The guilt of what he had done,
285
00:14:30,629 --> 00:14:34,264
the blood that he had shed,
in order to win the contract.
286
00:14:34,300 --> 00:14:37,268
Mr. Chipping invited Moose to
Stonewall Prep to be the next victim.
287
00:14:37,304 --> 00:14:40,638
To be killed by the next
ghostwriter. One of you.
288
00:14:40,674 --> 00:14:43,875
And Moose was
the perfect candidate.
289
00:14:43,911 --> 00:14:46,011
I mean, he was a messed-up kid,
he had no family,
290
00:14:46,047 --> 00:14:47,846
he couldn't handle
the stresses of life.
291
00:14:47,882 --> 00:14:52,385
After my dad was arrested for
impersonating the Gargoyle King,
292
00:14:52,421 --> 00:14:57,191
it, uh, kinda blew up my life,
my family, everything.
293
00:14:57,227 --> 00:15:00,061
I even ended up in a facility
for a couple of months.
294
00:15:00,097 --> 00:15:02,133
Chipping ran Moose out of town.
295
00:15:03,034 --> 00:15:04,766
You said it yourself.
296
00:15:04,802 --> 00:15:05,901
Good, you remember.
297
00:15:05,937 --> 00:15:08,237
Okay, we think Chipping
couldn't go through with it.
298
00:15:08,273 --> 00:15:12,409
And-or, maybe he just wanted
to atone for what he had done.
299
00:15:12,445 --> 00:15:14,078
I mean, whatever the reason.
300
00:15:14,114 --> 00:15:16,346
He ran Moose the hell away
from Stonewall Prep
301
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,885
and then killed himself,
it was his only escape.
302
00:15:19,886 --> 00:15:22,720
Pure demented conjecture.
303
00:15:22,756 --> 00:15:26,392
Well, yes and no. Chipping's behavior
is hypothesis, but if proven,
304
00:15:26,428 --> 00:15:30,796
it shows a pattern of how the previous
ghostwriters won their contract.
305
00:15:30,832 --> 00:15:34,234
Same year, same month as Chipping
was awarded his contract,
306
00:15:34,270 --> 00:15:35,936
a Stonewall student
disappeared.
307
00:15:35,972 --> 00:15:37,875
One of the so-called
Stonewall Four.
308
00:15:40,978 --> 00:15:44,215
We believe this student
was murdered by Mr. Chipping.
309
00:15:49,421 --> 00:15:51,721
Ryan Allan,
the previous ghostwriter,
310
00:15:51,757 --> 00:15:53,823
who took up the mantle
the same month
311
00:15:53,859 --> 00:15:55,728
another one of
the Stonewall Four disappeared.
312
00:15:57,297 --> 00:16:00,098
The sequence holds true for every
ghostwriter who preceded them.
313
00:16:00,134 --> 00:16:02,934
It's... It's actually
incredibly simple.
314
00:16:02,970 --> 00:16:06,807
Which brings us to a couple months
ago, when I was awarded the contract.
315
00:16:07,209 --> 00:16:08,343
But why?
316
00:16:09,378 --> 00:16:11,777
To put a target on my back.
317
00:16:11,813 --> 00:16:14,148
Probably because I was already
circling the truth,
318
00:16:14,184 --> 00:16:16,984
so he gave you guys
a new challenge.
319
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:19,456
To commit the perfect murder,
against me,
320
00:16:20,525 --> 00:16:23,825
and be awarded the contract.
321
00:16:23,861 --> 00:16:26,464
So, the million
dollar question is...
322
00:16:27,832 --> 00:16:31,804
who was going to kill Jughead?
And how?
323
00:16:36,069 --> 00:16:38,304
So, which one of you
heartless bastards killed me?
324
00:16:42,476 --> 00:16:45,277
It was actually Mr. DuPont
that gave me a clue.
325
00:16:45,313 --> 00:16:47,913
When I asked who had re-written
my Baxter Brothers novel,
326
00:16:47,949 --> 00:16:49,381
you told me they all
had a crack at it.
327
00:16:49,417 --> 00:16:55,322
Well, actually,
all of your classmates collaborated on it.
328
00:16:55,358 --> 00:16:58,292
And that suggested to me that each
one of you had a hand in my murder.
329
00:16:58,328 --> 00:17:01,231
- Oh, this should be good.
- Donna, you kept Betty busy.
330
00:17:04,402 --> 00:17:06,101
Oh, good, you made it.
331
00:17:06,137 --> 00:17:08,371
Bret, you led me
deeper into the woods,
332
00:17:08,407 --> 00:17:11,210
where I took off the bunny mask I
was wearing and put on my beanie.
333
00:17:14,146 --> 00:17:17,981
And was it that beanie that kept my
head from being completely cracked open
334
00:17:18,017 --> 00:17:20,251
when Joan crept up behind me...
335
00:17:20,287 --> 00:17:22,487
and hit me with
a baseball-sized rock?
336
00:17:22,523 --> 00:17:25,290
What? How do you know it was me?
Why couldn't it have been Jonathan?
337
00:17:25,326 --> 00:17:28,527
Well, I don't recall Jonathan
wearing your perfume.
338
00:17:28,563 --> 00:17:31,263
Yeah, where...
Where is Jonathan again?
339
00:17:31,299 --> 00:17:34,167
Or did you kill him because he
started to develop a conscience?
340
00:17:34,203 --> 00:17:36,970
He had food poisoning,
he still has food poisoning.
341
00:17:37,006 --> 00:17:39,107
Okay, Jonathan aside,
342
00:17:39,143 --> 00:17:42,544
you had a fool-proof plan,
air-tight alibis.
343
00:17:42,580 --> 00:17:45,917
It all should have worked
so perfectly, but it didn't.
344
00:17:48,153 --> 00:17:49,952
- Why?
- Because in all your plotting,
345
00:17:49,988 --> 00:17:52,188
all of your lurid conspiring
and your brilliance,
346
00:17:52,224 --> 00:17:54,057
you didn't kill me.
347
00:17:54,093 --> 00:17:55,693
I mean, whose job was it
to check my pulse?
348
00:17:55,729 --> 00:17:56,630
Jonathan!
349
00:18:02,203 --> 00:18:03,736
Oh, you Einsteins.
350
00:18:03,772 --> 00:18:06,608
All you had to do was hit me in the back
of the head hard enough with a rock.
351
00:18:07,476 --> 00:18:09,208
You failed spectacularly.
352
00:18:09,244 --> 00:18:11,678
Yeah, meanwhile, Donna was
blowing Devil's Breath in my face
353
00:18:11,714 --> 00:18:14,117
to set me up
as the ultimate fall-girl.
354
00:18:17,086 --> 00:18:18,586
Devil's Breath? Really?
355
00:18:18,622 --> 00:18:20,655
Yeah, the technical term
being scopolamine,
356
00:18:20,691 --> 00:18:23,592
which leaves a person highly
suggestive and in a drunken state.
357
00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:27,163
Which is why I don't remember when
Donna led me into the clearing
358
00:18:27,199 --> 00:18:30,400
where Jughead's body was and
placed the bloody rock in my hand,
359
00:18:30,436 --> 00:18:34,438
leaving me literally red-handed
with the murder weapon.
360
00:18:34,474 --> 00:18:37,775
After which, the four of you
returned to the party
361
00:18:37,811 --> 00:18:40,679
and ran into Archie
and Veronica.
362
00:18:40,715 --> 00:18:43,751
Hey, have you guys seen
Betty and Jughead?
363
00:18:44,753 --> 00:18:46,486
I think they went that way,
364
00:18:46,522 --> 00:18:48,324
into the clearing
behind those trees.
365
00:18:52,328 --> 00:18:53,396
Thanks.
366
00:18:59,270 --> 00:19:01,472
And pointed them to where
you knew they would find me.
367
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:04,507
Standing over Jughead's corpse.
368
00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:06,442
Oh, my God, Betty,
what happened?
369
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:08,580
Jug! Is he breathing?
370
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:15,556
He's dead.
371
00:19:16,757 --> 00:19:21,292
At which point, one of two
scenarios could've played out.
372
00:19:21,328 --> 00:19:26,666
One, Archie and Veronica
could turn me in.
373
00:19:26,702 --> 00:19:33,340
Two, they could help me cover up the
"murder" that I had just committed.
374
00:19:33,376 --> 00:19:35,543
Either way, I'm damned if I do
and damned if I don't.
375
00:19:35,579 --> 00:19:38,647
But honestly, you guys could've
gotten away with it too.
376
00:19:38,683 --> 00:19:41,286
Yeah, except, again...
377
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,452
You guys didn't kill me.
378
00:19:43,488 --> 00:19:46,725
- Archie...
- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
379
00:19:47,526 --> 00:19:48,694
Betty, what happened?
380
00:19:54,467 --> 00:19:57,502
All right, start pounding
on his chest. Right now, okay?
381
00:19:57,538 --> 00:19:59,337
Vee, use the beanie to stop
the bleeding.
382
00:19:59,373 --> 00:20:02,644
Go, one, two, three,
four, five.
383
00:20:06,148 --> 00:20:08,382
- Come on, Jug.
- ...four, five...
384
00:20:08,418 --> 00:20:10,553
Come on, come on, Jug!
Come on!
385
00:20:11,889 --> 00:20:13,857
- Betty, he's...
- Come back to me, Jug.
386
00:20:16,894 --> 00:20:19,595
Jug, hey, hey, hey.
387
00:20:19,631 --> 00:20:21,730
Hey, we're gonna get you
to a hospital, okay?
388
00:20:21,766 --> 00:20:23,069
No... No hospital.
389
00:20:25,370 --> 00:20:29,275
Hey, stay awake, stay with me, please, Jug.
Hey. Stay awake, okay?
390
00:20:30,744 --> 00:20:33,844
Though I didn't regain
consciousness for another 36 hours.
391
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,516
The worst 36 hours of my life.
392
00:20:40,254 --> 00:20:42,154
Why would you say that, Jones?
393
00:20:42,190 --> 00:20:45,894
"No hospital." Why would a man
on death's door say that?
394
00:20:47,262 --> 00:20:50,197
I honestly don't know.
395
00:20:50,233 --> 00:20:54,335
Maybe I had some small feeling that
you were going to try and frame Betty.
396
00:20:54,371 --> 00:20:56,374
And I wanted her
to have a fighting chance.
397
00:21:00,378 --> 00:21:03,312
I'm... I'm calling Charles,
I'm calling Charles.
398
00:21:03,348 --> 00:21:06,383
- What? Why?
- We can trust him. He'll help us, okay?
399
00:21:06,419 --> 00:21:07,451
Hey, Jug.
400
00:21:10,724 --> 00:21:14,192
Charles, I'm in the woods
with Archie and Veronica.
401
00:21:14,228 --> 00:21:17,328
Jughead, he's hurt
really badly, we need help.
402
00:21:17,364 --> 00:21:19,832
We need your help, please!
403
00:21:19,868 --> 00:21:23,369
We carried Jug through the
woods to the old postal road,
404
00:21:23,405 --> 00:21:27,576
where my brother Charles was
waiting for us with an FBI med-van.
405
00:21:31,782 --> 00:21:34,549
- What happened to him, Betty?
- A head wound.
406
00:21:34,585 --> 00:21:37,552
We slowed the bleeding, we did
chest compressions and CPR.
407
00:21:37,588 --> 00:21:38,453
You think he's gonna make it?
408
00:21:38,489 --> 00:21:39,722
We're gonna do
everything that we can.
409
00:21:39,758 --> 00:21:40,757
What about us?
What do we do?
410
00:21:40,793 --> 00:21:43,326
Go back to where you found him.
Clean the scene.
411
00:21:43,362 --> 00:21:45,863
Make absolutely certain that you don't
leave anything behind, all right?
412
00:21:45,899 --> 00:21:47,698
Also, your clothes
are covered with blood.
413
00:21:47,734 --> 00:21:49,700
You need to get rid of those
and get washed up, okay?
414
00:21:49,736 --> 00:21:50,905
Okay.
415
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:00,813
And then we did
what Charles asked.
416
00:22:00,849 --> 00:22:03,449
We went back to the clearing.
417
00:22:03,485 --> 00:22:05,788
Threw the bloody rock
in the swimming hole.
418
00:22:07,024 --> 00:22:09,824
Took off our clothes
and started a bonfire.
419
00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:11,426
What happens if
he doesn't make it?
420
00:22:11,462 --> 00:22:12,563
He'll make it.
421
00:22:13,865 --> 00:22:15,332
But what if he doesn't?
422
00:22:16,434 --> 00:22:17,502
He will.
423
00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:23,476
But if he doesn't, then...
424
00:22:25,411 --> 00:22:28,682
Archie... Archie?
425
00:22:30,084 --> 00:22:33,453
- Archie! You listening to me?
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
426
00:22:35,790 --> 00:22:39,561
We have to burn all of our clothes
including Jughead's beanie.
427
00:22:41,930 --> 00:22:44,266
We'll rinse off the blood
in the swimming hole.
428
00:22:46,669 --> 00:22:49,070
After tonight,
we never speak of this. Ever.
429
00:22:49,106 --> 00:22:52,309
Not to each other,
not to our parents. No one.
430
00:22:53,410 --> 00:22:56,579
We'll finish our senior year,
graduate,
431
00:22:56,615 --> 00:22:57,880
and we'll go
our separate ways.
432
00:22:57,916 --> 00:23:00,485
That is the only way
that we won't get caught.
433
00:23:04,624 --> 00:23:05,691
Do it.
434
00:23:12,867 --> 00:23:16,335
That is how it'll have to be
if Jug doesn't make it.
435
00:23:16,371 --> 00:23:18,805
But it won't come to that.
He will pull through.
436
00:23:18,841 --> 00:23:20,308
He has to.
437
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:23,914
And then, we went home.
438
00:23:26,850 --> 00:23:30,051
And what happened next
was a waking nightmare.
439
00:23:30,087 --> 00:23:34,022
Not knowing if or when
Jughead was going to wake up,
440
00:23:34,058 --> 00:23:37,560
and wondering if I had
actually been responsible.
441
00:23:37,596 --> 00:23:40,363
Wait, but we saw Jughead's
corpse at the coroner's office.
442
00:23:40,399 --> 00:23:41,564
Was he in on it?
443
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,469
Who? Dr. Curdle Jr.?
444
00:23:44,604 --> 00:23:48,773
Yeah, mmm-hmm, yeah.
We go way back.
445
00:23:48,809 --> 00:23:52,144
You see, Bret,
in a town like Riverdale,
446
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:54,713
everybody's got a price.
447
00:23:54,749 --> 00:23:57,686
And that includes our friendly
neighborhood doctor of death.
448
00:24:00,422 --> 00:24:03,991
And while Betty was keeping you guys
busy with a game of cat-and-mouse,
449
00:24:04,027 --> 00:24:07,995
I was in the underground bunker
untangling this Gordian knot of a year.
450
00:24:08,031 --> 00:24:11,667
And it is crazy how much
untangling you can get done
451
00:24:11,703 --> 00:24:13,101
when everyone thinks
you're dead.
452
00:24:13,137 --> 00:24:15,707
Which brings us,
basically, to today.
453
00:24:16,175 --> 00:24:18,443
So, Mr. DuPont,
454
00:24:19,945 --> 00:24:22,381
the floor is open.
What do you think?
455
00:24:23,884 --> 00:24:25,886
Oh, Mr. Jones...
456
00:24:27,855 --> 00:24:29,588
"A" for effort.
457
00:24:29,624 --> 00:24:30,622
If nothing else,
458
00:24:30,658 --> 00:24:33,491
this fiction is significantly
more entertaining
459
00:24:33,527 --> 00:24:36,028
than anything you ever produced
for my class.
460
00:24:36,064 --> 00:24:37,430
Oh, did I forget to mention
461
00:24:37,466 --> 00:24:40,934
that Betty and I went and saw
the Baxter Brothers ghostwriters?
462
00:24:40,970 --> 00:24:45,572
And when we told them our theory,
they all asked for their lawyers.
463
00:24:45,608 --> 00:24:47,909
What if you did
track them down?
464
00:24:47,945 --> 00:24:52,615
And even if you found one who corroborated
your wild theories in some vague way,
465
00:24:52,651 --> 00:24:56,619
then you will know that
I never explicitly directed
466
00:24:56,655 --> 00:24:59,155
my students or mentees
to do anything criminal.
467
00:24:59,191 --> 00:25:00,924
Oh.
468
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,494
What a canny serial killer
you are, Mr. DuPont.
469
00:25:04,530 --> 00:25:06,797
But we haven't even
gotten to the best part.
470
00:25:06,833 --> 00:25:11,572
Specifically, the three members of
your original literary society...
471
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,608
who you murdered.
472
00:25:15,277 --> 00:25:19,515
Jane Dallas Brown, Charles W.
Chickens, Theodore Weisel...
473
00:25:21,985 --> 00:25:25,486
- There it is.
- Let's loop back to the original sin, shall we?
474
00:25:25,522 --> 00:25:27,956
When Mr. DuPont stole,
and I do mean stole,
475
00:25:27,992 --> 00:25:29,991
my grandfather's original
Baxter Brothers novel.
476
00:25:30,027 --> 00:25:31,827
A fact known to you,
Mr. DuPont,
477
00:25:31,863 --> 00:25:33,495
and of course,
Jughead's grandfather
478
00:25:33,531 --> 00:25:37,070
but also to your inner circle,
your classmates.
479
00:25:38,838 --> 00:25:41,272
The corrupt secret
at the heart of an empire.
480
00:25:41,308 --> 00:25:43,573
Although it wasn't
an empire just yet.
481
00:25:43,609 --> 00:25:46,013
It was a house of cards that
you built over many decades.
482
00:25:46,747 --> 00:25:48,546
And the bigger it got,
483
00:25:48,582 --> 00:25:51,116
the more worried you became that
one little slip of the tongue
484
00:25:51,152 --> 00:25:53,219
would send the whole thing
tumbling down.
485
00:25:53,255 --> 00:25:56,122
Your life's work would
be revealed as a lie,
486
00:25:56,158 --> 00:25:58,558
and you as a fraud.
487
00:25:58,594 --> 00:25:59,628
And a thief.
488
00:26:00,297 --> 00:26:01,461
A man of dishonor.
489
00:26:01,497 --> 00:26:04,131
So, you started going after
people who knew the truth
490
00:26:04,167 --> 00:26:08,770
and started staging
their accidental deaths.
491
00:26:08,806 --> 00:26:14,010
You cut brakes.
You tampered with fuselages.
492
00:26:14,046 --> 00:26:16,579
You compromised oxygen tanks.
493
00:26:16,615 --> 00:26:18,548
Until there was only
one living member
494
00:26:18,584 --> 00:26:21,151
of your literary society left.
495
00:26:21,187 --> 00:26:24,657
Betty, I think it's time
we let in our guests.
496
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,761
With pleasure.
497
00:26:46,351 --> 00:26:48,987
- Forsythe.
- Live and in the flesh.
498
00:26:50,255 --> 00:26:52,055
Hello, Francis.
499
00:26:52,091 --> 00:26:54,190
Why don't you tell him
what you told us, Grandpa?
500
00:26:54,226 --> 00:26:57,330
Weisel came to see me
before he died.
501
00:26:58,932 --> 00:27:00,233
He hadn't slept for days.
502
00:27:01,968 --> 00:27:07,272
He told me that you
killed Charles and Jane
503
00:27:07,308 --> 00:27:10,076
'cause they were gonna
spill the truth
504
00:27:10,112 --> 00:27:11,880
about the damn Baxter Brothers.
505
00:27:13,849 --> 00:27:16,350
He said we knew too much
and you were gonna off us, too.
506
00:27:16,386 --> 00:27:20,321
You and I both know
Theodore was a paranoid drunk.
507
00:27:20,357 --> 00:27:23,124
But two days later,
508
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,731
the expert diver
drowned in shallow water.
509
00:27:29,301 --> 00:27:32,637
So he was right,
and I was next.
510
00:27:35,108 --> 00:27:37,643
So, I went out for a pack
of cigarettes...
511
00:27:39,947 --> 00:27:42,280
and never came back.
512
00:27:42,316 --> 00:27:45,384
What were you doing off-grid
since 2002, exactly?
513
00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:48,787
Collecting evidence
that linked Francis here
514
00:27:48,823 --> 00:27:51,891
with the murders of Charles
and Jane and Theodore.
515
00:27:51,927 --> 00:27:57,431
I started by calling hotels and
motels near the accident sites.
516
00:27:57,467 --> 00:27:59,133
You know what the one thing
I couldn't figure out
517
00:27:59,169 --> 00:28:01,135
at first was, Mr. DuPont?
518
00:28:01,171 --> 00:28:04,272
That if Moose was invited to
Stonewall Prep to be the next victim,
519
00:28:04,308 --> 00:28:05,910
then why was I also invited?
520
00:28:07,912 --> 00:28:09,979
I was bait
521
00:28:10,015 --> 00:28:11,981
to lure my grandfather
out of hiding
522
00:28:12,017 --> 00:28:14,184
so you could finish the job
that you started.
523
00:28:14,220 --> 00:28:17,754
Took off like a coward
after Jughead found me.
524
00:28:17,790 --> 00:28:21,025
But, to my old man's credit, when
Charles and I found him the second time,
525
00:28:21,061 --> 00:28:23,728
and he heard
what happened to his grandson,
526
00:28:23,764 --> 00:28:25,965
he figured it was finally time
to take your ass down.
527
00:28:26,001 --> 00:28:28,200
While you were in
here playing Agatha Christie,
528
00:28:28,236 --> 00:28:31,438
my team was combing through
DuPont's house for the last hour.
529
00:28:31,474 --> 00:28:35,175
Now, given the trophies of your victims
that we found in your hollowed out OED,
530
00:28:35,211 --> 00:28:38,312
and your ghostwriters
lawyering up,
531
00:28:38,348 --> 00:28:41,048
not to mention
Forsythe's detective work...
532
00:28:41,084 --> 00:28:43,922
Well, why don't you tell him?
533
00:28:46,157 --> 00:28:47,326
It's over, Francis.
534
00:28:51,931 --> 00:28:56,703
You... call me
a thief and a coward.
535
00:28:58,004 --> 00:28:59,105
I'm not.
536
00:28:59,973 --> 00:29:01,739
I'm a builder.
537
00:29:01,775 --> 00:29:03,808
I built
the Baxter Brothers franchise
538
00:29:03,844 --> 00:29:06,811
and with that money,
I helped build this school.
539
00:29:06,847 --> 00:29:08,981
Without me,
neither would exist.
540
00:29:09,017 --> 00:29:10,883
Francis DuPont,
you have the right to remain silent.
541
00:29:10,919 --> 00:29:13,420
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
542
00:29:13,456 --> 00:29:18,092
Never. A writer's power
is in his words.
543
00:29:18,128 --> 00:29:21,162
Only the meek and the timid
choose silence.
544
00:29:21,198 --> 00:29:24,502
Oh, I am a man of honor.
545
00:29:29,342 --> 00:29:30,443
To the end.
546
00:29:48,831 --> 00:29:53,701
After that, it was a matter
of dotting I's and crossing T's.
547
00:29:53,737 --> 00:29:56,607
We obtained these text
exchanges between you and Donna.
548
00:29:58,510 --> 00:30:00,843
Donna was manipulating
you, Joan.
549
00:30:00,879 --> 00:30:02,511
She tricked you
into doing her dirty work
550
00:30:02,547 --> 00:30:04,449
so her hands
would remain clean.
551
00:30:05,417 --> 00:30:06,850
Don't protect her.
552
00:30:06,886 --> 00:30:08,551
I'll see to it that you get
a reduced sentence.
553
00:30:08,587 --> 00:30:11,625
Agent Smith,
you have nothing to offer me.
554
00:30:15,763 --> 00:30:18,597
Reminder, my father
is an ambassador
555
00:30:18,633 --> 00:30:20,332
and I have diplomatic immunity.
556
00:30:20,368 --> 00:30:22,001
If you leave the country now,
557
00:30:22,037 --> 00:30:23,703
you won't ever
be able to return.
558
00:30:23,739 --> 00:30:26,075
And your friends,
they'll take all the heat.
559
00:30:27,376 --> 00:30:28,611
They're not my friends.
560
00:30:37,721 --> 00:30:40,723
Hey, why did you lie
to Jughead?
561
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,029
You told him Bret had diplomatic
immunity, but it was Joan.
562
00:30:44,596 --> 00:30:46,630
I... I lied to Jughead
563
00:30:46,666 --> 00:30:49,970
because I was trying to keep
him from antagonizing Bret.
564
00:30:51,805 --> 00:30:54,639
You know it was Bret's idea
to kill Jughead.
565
00:30:54,675 --> 00:30:57,643
Uh-huh. How did you get
Mr. Chipping's tie pin?
566
00:30:57,679 --> 00:31:00,712
And don't tell me
that you were having an affair.
567
00:31:00,748 --> 00:31:02,017
No one's buying
that story anymore.
568
00:31:03,419 --> 00:31:04,887
Mr. DuPont gave it to me.
569
00:31:06,622 --> 00:31:09,523
Said I had to lie
to the headmaster,
570
00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:11,826
so that Mr. Chipping's death
would be ruled a suicide
571
00:31:11,862 --> 00:31:13,097
and people would stop
asking questions.
572
00:31:15,766 --> 00:31:20,402
But I'm just glad that the real
monster behind all of this,
573
00:31:20,438 --> 00:31:22,474
Mr. DuPont,
has paid for his crimes.
574
00:31:25,812 --> 00:31:28,112
You have a known history
of antagonizing Jughead.
575
00:31:28,148 --> 00:31:31,448
Witnesses saw you walking with him into
the woods the night he was attacked.
576
00:31:31,484 --> 00:31:33,387
Have I actually been charged
with a crime?
577
00:31:34,922 --> 00:31:37,523
You're facing hard time
for both attempted murder
578
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,559
and the creation and possession
of illegally recorded sex tapes
579
00:31:40,595 --> 00:31:42,629
featuring fellow students.
580
00:31:42,665 --> 00:31:45,199
Including Jughead and Betty.
581
00:31:45,235 --> 00:31:50,571
Now, I'm willing to reduce your
charge to only attempted murder
582
00:31:50,607 --> 00:31:52,840
if you turn over
your collection of videotapes.
583
00:31:52,876 --> 00:31:55,010
Here's my counter-offer,
584
00:31:55,046 --> 00:31:57,880
reduce my charge
to conspiracy after the fact,
585
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:00,884
which my lawyer will plead down
to community service,
586
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,720
or Betty and Jughead's
puerile sex tape
587
00:32:03,756 --> 00:32:05,591
will be released
to the world wide web.
588
00:32:06,626 --> 00:32:08,728
Hmm. Let me think it over.
589
00:32:20,542 --> 00:32:21,743
That was quick.
590
00:32:29,954 --> 00:32:31,055
What the hell is this?
591
00:32:32,523 --> 00:32:33,791
The counter to your counter.
592
00:32:39,298 --> 00:32:43,199
I understand you've decided to
co-operate with our investigation
593
00:32:43,235 --> 00:32:45,172
and reveal the location
of your illicit videotapes.
594
00:32:46,239 --> 00:32:47,473
Is that correct?
595
00:32:50,144 --> 00:32:53,812
Hidden in a secret
compartment behind Stonewall's crest
596
00:32:53,848 --> 00:32:57,150
was a treasure trove
of dark secrets.
597
00:32:57,186 --> 00:32:59,619
Illegally recorded videotapes,
598
00:32:59,655 --> 00:33:03,556
more fuel to add to the firestorm
of controversy that is consuming
599
00:33:03,592 --> 00:33:06,794
one of the country's oldest and
more prestigious prep schools.
600
00:33:06,830 --> 00:33:09,197
For now, Stonewall Prep's
doors remain open,
601
00:33:09,233 --> 00:33:12,867
but its secret society Quill
and Skull has been disbanded.
602
00:33:12,903 --> 00:33:17,006
For RIVW news,
this is Alice Smith.
603
00:33:17,042 --> 00:33:18,844
It's good to be back,
Riverdale.
604
00:33:21,647 --> 00:33:22,980
Thank you. Thank you very much.
605
00:33:23,016 --> 00:33:25,015
Your report came out
really good, Mom.
606
00:33:25,051 --> 00:33:27,719
Oh, thanks, honey.
I had a lot of help from an inside source.
607
00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:28,756
- Mmm-hmm.
- Mmm-hmm?
608
00:33:30,758 --> 00:33:32,958
- I'm gonna head out.
- Yeah.
609
00:33:32,994 --> 00:33:34,796
Wait. Where are you going?
We're about to have cake.
610
00:33:37,266 --> 00:33:39,766
Um, I will be back soon, okay?
611
00:33:39,802 --> 00:33:42,605
I just have
one last T to cross.
612
00:33:48,945 --> 00:33:50,248
Hello, Donna.
613
00:33:51,349 --> 00:33:52,448
Going somewhere?
614
00:33:52,484 --> 00:33:56,085
If you must know,
I'm transferring to a new school.
615
00:33:56,121 --> 00:33:57,854
Well, I'm glad
I caught you then.
616
00:33:57,890 --> 00:33:59,922
I wanted to congratulate
you personally.
617
00:33:59,958 --> 00:34:02,760
Jughead and I heard that you're
taking over the Baxter Brothers.
618
00:34:02,796 --> 00:34:04,664
The brand is relaunching.
619
00:34:05,732 --> 00:34:07,001
As Tracy True.
620
00:34:08,936 --> 00:34:10,037
Jealous?
621
00:34:11,306 --> 00:34:12,637
Your plan worked, Donna.
622
00:34:12,673 --> 00:34:16,279
You managed to get everyone else
to do the actual dirty work.
623
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,845
Hell, even DuPont's dead.
624
00:34:18,881 --> 00:34:23,217
You covered your tracks
extremely well.
625
00:34:23,253 --> 00:34:24,787
Betty...
626
00:34:26,857 --> 00:34:29,958
Are you really so delusional
627
00:34:29,994 --> 00:34:34,730
you would believe I would
mastermind some elaborate conspiracy
628
00:34:34,766 --> 00:34:37,267
that caused the deaths
of multiple people
629
00:34:37,303 --> 00:34:39,939
just to win a YA book contract?
630
00:34:42,375 --> 00:34:43,643
No.
631
00:34:44,778 --> 00:34:46,777
But you would do it
for revenge.
632
00:34:46,813 --> 00:34:49,347
Oh, really?
633
00:34:49,383 --> 00:34:52,019
- Revenge for what?
- The murder of your grandmother.
634
00:34:54,022 --> 00:34:55,788
Jane Dallas Brown.
635
00:34:55,824 --> 00:34:57,257
One of the classmates
DuPont killed
636
00:34:57,293 --> 00:35:00,830
to cover up the ugly truth that he
didn't create the Baxter Brothers.
637
00:35:01,865 --> 00:35:03,030
She was your grandmother.
638
00:35:03,066 --> 00:35:04,865
How could you
possibly know that?
639
00:35:04,901 --> 00:35:06,968
A friend of a friend told me.
640
00:35:07,004 --> 00:35:09,405
You dedicated yourself
to getting into Stonewall Prep
641
00:35:09,441 --> 00:35:10,873
and getting
into Chipping's class
642
00:35:10,909 --> 00:35:15,147
and each step brought you ever
closer to your grandmother's killer.
643
00:35:16,215 --> 00:35:18,815
You wanted revenge.
644
00:35:18,851 --> 00:35:21,352
So what was
the original plan, Donna?
645
00:35:21,388 --> 00:35:25,189
Win the contract no matter
how many people had to die?
646
00:35:25,225 --> 00:35:28,327
And then stage an accident
that would take care of DuPont
647
00:35:28,363 --> 00:35:31,797
so you could tear down
the house that he built?
648
00:35:31,833 --> 00:35:33,302
Fascinating theory, Betty.
649
00:35:34,503 --> 00:35:36,402
You've left out
one minor detail.
650
00:35:36,438 --> 00:35:39,276
DuPont didn't merely kill
my grandmother.
651
00:35:40,143 --> 00:35:42,042
He stole from her.
652
00:35:42,078 --> 00:35:43,914
The same way he did
from Forsythe.
653
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:47,749
Tracy True.
654
00:35:47,785 --> 00:35:51,456
The female teen detective who was
introduced in the Baxter Brothers' books.
655
00:35:53,058 --> 00:35:55,992
She was
your grandmother's invention.
656
00:35:56,028 --> 00:36:00,230
Now I've taken Tracy back and
DuPont is rotting in a grave.
657
00:36:00,266 --> 00:36:02,133
Huh.
658
00:36:02,169 --> 00:36:04,869
How did you really find out
about my grandmother?
659
00:36:04,905 --> 00:36:06,204
A private investigator.
660
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:09,808
At my behest, Hermosa put her
private eye skills to good use
661
00:36:09,844 --> 00:36:12,379
and did some digging
on those Stonewall WASPs.
662
00:36:12,415 --> 00:36:15,851
And your gal pal Donna
is not so sweet.
663
00:36:17,053 --> 00:36:19,220
...who supplied us
with the medical files
664
00:36:19,256 --> 00:36:23,791
that confirmed that you are the
granddaughter of Jane Dallas Brown.
665
00:36:23,827 --> 00:36:25,893
Which gives the police a motive
666
00:36:25,929 --> 00:36:32,802
and links this entire web
of death back to you.
667
00:36:32,838 --> 00:36:34,473
It's circumstantial at best.
668
00:36:36,276 --> 00:36:37,943
But I'll play one last round.
669
00:36:39,312 --> 00:36:40,313
What do you want, Betty?
670
00:36:42,949 --> 00:36:46,451
I want you to walk away
from the Tracy True contract.
671
00:36:46,487 --> 00:36:48,321
Why in God's name
would I do that?
672
00:36:48,357 --> 00:36:50,556
Fictional though she may be,
673
00:36:50,592 --> 00:36:53,059
Tracy deserves better,
674
00:36:53,095 --> 00:36:55,329
as does the memory
of your grandmother.
675
00:36:55,365 --> 00:36:58,298
And you certainly don't
deserve to profit
676
00:36:58,334 --> 00:37:01,105
off the near-death
of my boyfriend.
677
00:37:03,207 --> 00:37:04,275
Or...
678
00:37:05,410 --> 00:37:09,078
don't walk away. That's fine.
679
00:37:09,114 --> 00:37:11,880
But I will make sure every
newspaper of every major city
680
00:37:11,916 --> 00:37:13,486
gets a copy
of that medical file.
681
00:37:19,359 --> 00:37:21,862
You play nice
from now on, Donna.
682
00:37:24,232 --> 00:37:25,933
I'll be keeping an eye on you.
683
00:37:44,914 --> 00:37:49,017
Months at Stonewall Prep away
from you guys, what a waste.
684
00:37:49,053 --> 00:37:54,623
Jug, okay. We put a stop to
DuPont, we solved eight murders,
685
00:37:54,659 --> 00:37:57,660
and we gave closure to every
family of every missing child.
686
00:37:57,696 --> 00:37:59,529
I would not call that
a waste of time.
687
00:37:59,565 --> 00:38:01,067
I know. It's just...
688
00:38:03,036 --> 00:38:05,906
- I feel...
- Cheated?
689
00:38:07,541 --> 00:38:08,542
I know.
690
00:38:10,812 --> 00:38:11,910
I know.
691
00:38:11,946 --> 00:38:16,051
You'll find a meaning
to all of this at some point.
692
00:38:16,652 --> 00:38:17,653
Okay?
693
00:38:22,859 --> 00:38:25,160
So, Jughead Jones
back from the dead.
694
00:38:25,196 --> 00:38:26,727
Color me completely
not surprised.
695
00:38:26,763 --> 00:38:29,564
You're not?
696
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,769
No one ever really dies
in Riverdale, do they?
697
00:38:33,038 --> 00:38:36,508
But what about you
and Archie canoodling then?
698
00:38:37,276 --> 00:38:38,710
Yeah, that was just pretend.
699
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:42,246
I don't know, cousin.
That looked pretty real to me.
700
00:38:42,282 --> 00:38:43,814
Yeah, that was the point.
701
00:38:46,854 --> 00:38:48,220
Right.
702
00:38:48,256 --> 00:38:51,793
All I'm saying is,
your secret's safe with me.
703
00:38:52,727 --> 00:38:53,795
Toodles.
704
00:38:57,166 --> 00:38:59,165
What did Cheryl want?
705
00:38:59,201 --> 00:39:01,202
Nothing.
What did Mr. Honey say?
706
00:39:01,238 --> 00:39:02,837
Well, I don't think
he's too happy about it,
707
00:39:02,873 --> 00:39:04,672
but he legally has to
let me back to Riverdale High.
708
00:39:04,708 --> 00:39:08,576
- That's great!
- Yeah, I just really hope my credits transfer.
709
00:39:08,612 --> 00:39:10,748
On the bright side, no one's gonna
try to kill me while I'm here.
710
00:39:11,283 --> 00:39:12,717
Don't jinx yourself.
711
00:39:17,223 --> 00:39:18,956
Hey, boy. Betty.
712
00:39:18,992 --> 00:39:20,026
Hey.
713
00:39:21,694 --> 00:39:23,060
Um, I'll be right down.
714
00:39:23,096 --> 00:39:25,330
Grandpa, I thought you left.
715
00:39:25,366 --> 00:39:27,001
Oh, not yet.
716
00:39:27,835 --> 00:39:29,402
Joining us for dinner?
717
00:39:29,438 --> 00:39:33,839
Ah, Betty and I are actually going to
meet Archie and Veronica at Pop's. So...
718
00:39:33,875 --> 00:39:36,176
- Unless you want me to stay.
- No, go have fun.
719
00:39:36,212 --> 00:39:37,346
Yeah.
720
00:39:38,681 --> 00:39:41,049
Should I say goodbye?
721
00:39:41,085 --> 00:39:43,017
Oh, no.
722
00:39:43,053 --> 00:39:46,790
I expect your father and I will
still be talking when you get back.
723
00:39:51,196 --> 00:39:52,298
Hey, hold on.
724
00:39:56,735 --> 00:39:59,270
I don't know what's gonna
happen with him and me.
725
00:39:59,306 --> 00:40:01,908
But, uh, we're talking,
so that's something.
726
00:40:03,677 --> 00:40:07,048
So, thank you.
You made all this happen.
727
00:40:10,219 --> 00:40:11,719
- Have fun.
- Yeah.
728
00:40:12,287 --> 00:40:13,920
Betty?
729
00:40:13,956 --> 00:40:17,124
Maybe something good did come
out of this whole Stonewall mess.
730
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,928
My dad and my grandfather talking
again for the first time in 30 years!
731
00:40:20,964 --> 00:40:22,430
Who would've thought of that?
732
00:40:22,466 --> 00:40:24,099
You think your dad
will forgive him?
733
00:40:24,135 --> 00:40:27,138
Oh, I don't know. I mean, they have a lot
of bad history between each other, but...
734
00:40:28,140 --> 00:40:29,141
I hope so.
735
00:40:30,742 --> 00:40:31,710
All right, guys.
736
00:40:32,378 --> 00:40:33,376
Let's make a vow.
737
00:40:33,412 --> 00:40:35,314
I know.
738
00:40:36,115 --> 00:40:37,314
I know.
739
00:40:37,350 --> 00:40:39,683
The last time we made a vow
to have a normal senior year,
740
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,686
everything went to hell
pretty quick.
741
00:40:41,722 --> 00:40:45,058
But we only have two,
three months left.
742
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,128
Let's end it on a high note.
743
00:40:48,997 --> 00:40:50,330
Are we just gonna
ignore the fact
744
00:40:50,366 --> 00:40:52,698
that Archie and I will probably
not be graduating with you guys?
745
00:40:52,734 --> 00:40:53,867
Jug, okay.
746
00:40:53,903 --> 00:40:56,102
Do you really think Vee and I
are going to sit idly by
747
00:40:56,138 --> 00:40:57,972
and not help
our boyfriends graduate?
748
00:40:58,008 --> 00:41:03,078
Archie Andrews and Jughead
Jones, you will graduate.
749
00:41:03,114 --> 00:41:05,180
Even if it takes
a thousand tutors,
750
00:41:05,216 --> 00:41:06,948
you will set aside everything.
751
00:41:06,984 --> 00:41:08,817
No more mysteries.
752
00:41:08,853 --> 00:41:12,357
And make graduating
your sole purpose in life.
753
00:41:13,459 --> 00:41:14,992
Why does that sound
like a threat?
754
00:41:15,028 --> 00:41:16,162
Because it is.
755
00:41:18,031 --> 00:41:20,797
To going out on top together.
756
00:41:20,833 --> 00:41:22,736
- Cheers.
- Cheers to that.
757
00:41:24,472 --> 00:41:26,405
Guys, guys, just a reminder.
758
00:41:26,441 --> 00:41:29,108
I'm posting the sign-up sheet
for the variety show tomorrow,
759
00:41:29,144 --> 00:41:30,446
you all have to perform.
760
00:41:31,780 --> 00:41:33,413
Even you, Jughead.
761
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:35,952
- Count us in, Kev.
- Oh, no.
762
00:41:36,953 --> 00:41:38,019
Yeah.
763
00:41:38,055 --> 00:41:41,225
Check out this list
of local names.
764
00:41:47,843 --> 00:41:51,093
