Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,089 --> 00:00:07,137
[Jughead] There's an old adage,
"You can't go home again,"
2
00:00:07,181 --> 00:00:10,619
which was certainly ringing
true for us.
3
00:00:10,662 --> 00:00:15,145
Archie had been in a war,
Betty was an FBI agent,
4
00:00:15,189 --> 00:00:21,717
Veronica was married, Toni was Queen of the Serpents and I was a published writer.
5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,548
So why were we only talking about how the town of Riverdale had fallen
6
00:00:26,591 --> 00:00:30,247
and Archie's pipe dream
to somehow save it?
7
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:33,685
Probably because it was easier than the conversations that
awaited us.
8
00:00:35,383 --> 00:00:36,732
[Jughead] Why didn't you
reach out?
9
00:00:40,127 --> 00:00:44,174
[Betty] I didn't think you
wanted me to after you left me
that voicemail.
10
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:49,136
On the night of your
book launch?
11
00:00:49,179 --> 00:00:53,009
After that, I just assumed
you didn't want to hear
from me.
12
00:00:55,794 --> 00:00:57,753
That wasn't my intention.
13
00:00:57,796 --> 00:01:01,800
I'm sorry if it came
off that way.
It was nice to see you,
14
00:01:01,844 --> 00:01:07,502
even if it's strange to be
back here, just deeply uncanny.
15
00:01:07,545 --> 00:01:11,680
Same old Archie,
though. Trying to
save everyone.
16
00:01:11,723 --> 00:01:14,204
Good luck with that, dude.
17
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:18,513
-I mean I have a book to write.
-Yeah, after Pop's
retirement party,
18
00:01:18,556 --> 00:01:21,255
I have to get back to Quantico.
19
00:01:21,298 --> 00:01:26,564
It's good to see you, too, Jug,
even though it is a
bit weird.
20
00:01:32,701 --> 00:01:34,224
That's some rock on
your finger, Ronnie.
21
00:01:35,791 --> 00:01:38,663
-He must be a great guy.
-Chad?
22
00:01:38,707 --> 00:01:42,232
Yeah, he is, underneath
the bluster and bravado.
23
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:46,932
What about you, Bugle Boy?
24
00:01:46,976 --> 00:01:48,717
I'm sure you've had a
swarm of lovers.
25
00:01:49,674 --> 00:01:52,416
I don't know about that.
26
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:57,726
The last real relationship I
was in... was, well,
it was with you.
27
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:05,473
Devil-may-care fling
never hurt anybody, Archie.
28
00:02:05,516 --> 00:02:09,868
Besides, you should be having
fun at this point in your life.
Because once you're married...
29
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:15,178
Well, that's why this is
just a quick jaunt for me.
30
00:02:15,222 --> 00:02:17,789
I have to go back to my life,
my husband.
31
00:02:19,226 --> 00:02:20,140
Yeah, for sure.
32
00:02:25,797 --> 00:02:27,799
-Mom?
-Shh.
33
00:02:27,843 --> 00:02:30,324
I brought you a
vanilla milkshake,
extra thick.
34
00:02:30,367 --> 00:02:33,196
Oh, thanks, sweetheart.
Will you put in the fridge?
35
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,546
Keep your voice down.
The twins are finally asleep.
36
00:02:35,590 --> 00:02:36,939
Sure.
37
00:02:36,982 --> 00:02:39,202
-Is Polly home yet?
-Nope. Not yet.
38
00:02:40,899 --> 00:02:43,032
It's pretty late. Where is she?
39
00:02:43,075 --> 00:02:45,687
Oh, you know, out and about
at work. You know
your sister.
40
00:02:59,222 --> 00:03:00,180
[exhales]
41
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:16,631
[phone dings]
42
00:03:19,677 --> 00:03:22,245
[Samm] Jones, it's Samm.
Where the hell are you?
43
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:25,640
-And where are your pages?
Scribners--
-[woman] Forsythe Jones,
44
00:03:25,683 --> 00:03:29,470
you currently owe $9,876
to Premiere Credit.
45
00:03:29,513 --> 00:03:32,516
If you do not pay the
outstanding balance
within 24 hours--
46
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:41,482
[Kevin] So, how did the
Bughead reunion go?
47
00:03:43,179 --> 00:03:44,789
As well as it could have,
48
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,270
considering not all of us
could be happily shacked up
49
00:03:47,314 --> 00:03:49,229
with our
high school sweethearts, Kev.
50
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:52,014
Uh, FBI agent,
high school drama teacher.
51
00:03:52,057 --> 00:03:53,494
I'm technically not an
agent yet.
52
00:03:57,933 --> 00:04:01,023
-Oh, my God.
- What? What is it?
53
00:04:01,066 --> 00:04:05,593
Charles. He kept files of
everyone in my family,
including me and...
54
00:04:05,636 --> 00:04:08,509
tapes of our
phone conversations, I think.
55
00:04:12,643 --> 00:04:14,558
[Polly] Edgar, is it
really you?
56
00:04:14,602 --> 00:04:16,734
[Betty] No, bitch,
it's your sister.
57
00:04:16,778 --> 00:04:19,563
-[Polly] What? -And you're as good as dead to me now too.
58
00:04:19,607 --> 00:04:21,609
[Polly] What the--
59
00:04:21,652 --> 00:04:26,440
-Is that--
-Me, calling Polly on
Halloween years ago.
60
00:04:30,748 --> 00:04:32,620
Let's just get right
to it, Daddy.
61
00:04:32,663 --> 00:04:34,535
I want back in on the
family businesses.
62
00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:36,667
I'm confused.
Don't you live in New York?
63
00:04:36,711 --> 00:04:40,715
As it so happens, Chadwick and
I are looking for a
weekend home,
64
00:04:40,758 --> 00:04:42,064
possibly here in Riverdale.
65
00:04:43,065 --> 00:04:45,154
I see.
66
00:04:45,197 --> 00:04:48,549
Well, unfortunately for you,
Hermosa moved the rum business
to Miami.
67
00:04:48,592 --> 00:04:52,944
And I sold La Bonne Nuitto
Toni Topaz years ago.
68
00:04:52,988 --> 00:04:54,294
Without telling me?
69
00:04:54,337 --> 00:04:56,121
It must have slipped my mind.
70
00:04:56,165 --> 00:04:59,342
Like how you forgot to tell me
that you were marrying Chad.
71
00:04:59,386 --> 00:05:02,345
By the way, if you're truly
interested in a weekend home,
72
00:05:02,389 --> 00:05:04,608
might I suggest a property
in SoDale?
73
00:05:04,652 --> 00:05:07,307
Oh, you mean Stepford
for bougie mobsters?
74
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:09,004
No, thanks. I'm good.
75
00:05:13,835 --> 00:05:15,576
[Toni] So you want me to give
you a job?
76
00:05:15,619 --> 00:05:17,447
I just need some quick cash.
77
00:05:17,491 --> 00:05:20,537
Kinda hoping you could hook me
up with something short-term.
78
00:05:20,581 --> 00:05:23,584
You're lucky I'm even
willing to serve you, Jones.
79
00:05:23,627 --> 00:05:25,890
-What? Why?
-[Sweet Pea] What the hell is
he doing here?
80
00:05:25,934 --> 00:05:27,849
No way, Toni. No way.
81
00:05:27,892 --> 00:05:31,156
Gathering some research
for your next book
there, Jones?
82
00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:36,858
Hang on. Are you guys
actually upset about my novel?
83
00:05:36,901 --> 00:05:38,555
You made the Serpents look like
fools in it.
84
00:05:38,599 --> 00:05:41,776
You mean the Vipers?
The Vipers were the good guys.
85
00:05:41,819 --> 00:05:43,386
I didn't use your actual names.
86
00:05:43,430 --> 00:05:45,780
You think people around here
couldn't figure out
87
00:05:45,823 --> 00:05:49,218
who, what was that one
character's name, "Toothy"
was?
88
00:05:49,261 --> 00:05:50,785
Yeah, or Pop Eye?
89
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:53,396
You mocked our Serpent
traditions and codes,
90
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,659
and now you're asking for
our help?
91
00:05:55,703 --> 00:05:58,793
Toni, guys.
92
00:05:58,836 --> 00:06:01,622
Okay, I'll help.
I'll give you some advice.
93
00:06:01,665 --> 00:06:03,711
Watch your back, Jones.
94
00:06:03,754 --> 00:06:05,452
You've made a lot of enemies in
this town.
95
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:14,678
Principal Weatherbee,
96
00:06:14,722 --> 00:06:17,464
as I wrote in my email,
I'm here to relaunch
Riverdale High's RROTC program.
97
00:06:17,507 --> 00:06:20,771
Archie, I meant to reply,
but it's been chaotic,
to say the least.
98
00:06:20,815 --> 00:06:22,469
What's up?
99
00:06:22,512 --> 00:06:24,253
It's looking like
Riverdale High might not be
100
00:06:24,296 --> 00:06:26,560
opening up its doors
next Monday.
101
00:06:26,603 --> 00:06:29,693
Like everything else in this
town, our budget's been cut
almost to nothing.
102
00:06:29,737 --> 00:06:30,912
-Thanks to--
-Hiram Lodge.
103
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:34,524
Is there anything
I can do, sir?
104
00:06:34,568 --> 00:06:37,440
Alice, you're on the PTA.
Any word on which way the
school board's leaning?
105
00:06:37,484 --> 00:06:41,444
The board has some
serious doubts. I mean
we're a skeleton crew here.
106
00:06:41,488 --> 00:06:45,230
Kevin, you're teaching what,
five classes?
107
00:06:45,274 --> 00:06:50,758
Drama, Debate, Biology, Gym and
Sex Ed.
108
00:06:50,801 --> 00:06:52,324
[Toni] So are we
dead in the water?
109
00:06:52,368 --> 00:06:54,457
Not yet. There are some members
of the board
110
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,459
that would like to see
the school stay open
111
00:06:56,503 --> 00:06:59,767
if we can prove that we have
the personnel and resources
112
00:06:59,810 --> 00:07:02,204
that are required,
which is questionable.
113
00:07:02,247 --> 00:07:04,815
Well, the board will hear
arguments before
the vote, right?
114
00:07:04,859 --> 00:07:06,904
So we should all be there.
115
00:07:06,948 --> 00:07:10,212
I'll speak, and in the
meantime, let's target the
board members
116
00:07:10,255 --> 00:07:12,214
who are still waffling and
work on them.
117
00:07:12,257 --> 00:07:15,173
If we lose this vote,
we lose this school.
118
00:07:15,217 --> 00:07:17,001
And that's another nail in
Riverdale's coffin.
119
00:07:45,943 --> 00:07:48,250
It's Tabitha, right?
Tabitha Tate?
120
00:07:49,556 --> 00:07:52,646
It is. And you're
Jughead Jones.
121
00:07:52,689 --> 00:07:56,258
Yeah, I am. Hey, I noticed that
you're looking for a
new waiter.
122
00:07:56,301 --> 00:07:58,434
I'm definitely interested.
123
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:02,133
Thanks. But this definitely
isn't the right job for you.
124
00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:03,918
You don't even know me.
125
00:08:03,961 --> 00:08:05,528
Also, you can't just sit here
all day using my internet.
126
00:08:05,572 --> 00:08:08,052
You have to actually
order food, not just coffee.
127
00:08:08,096 --> 00:08:10,881
And then you have to pay for
said food.
128
00:08:10,925 --> 00:08:14,015
My grandfather did things
his way, and I do them mine.
129
00:08:14,058 --> 00:08:17,714
And the first rule of my diner
is no running tabs.
130
00:08:26,593 --> 00:08:27,637
[bottles clinking]
131
00:08:31,206 --> 00:08:32,120
Toni Topaz.
132
00:08:33,382 --> 00:08:34,601
[Sweet Pea] You lost, old man?
133
00:08:34,644 --> 00:08:38,169
It's okay, guys. I got this.
134
00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:41,216
Look, you can save your breath.
If you're here to bribe me
135
00:08:41,259 --> 00:08:44,611
or threaten me into giving up
the fight to save
Riverdale High...
136
00:08:46,264 --> 00:08:48,876
-How many students do you have?
-A hundred or so.
137
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:53,228
What if I offer them all
a scholarship to Stonewall?
They'd be getting a world-class
138
00:08:53,271 --> 00:08:55,622
education at zero cost.
139
00:08:55,665 --> 00:08:58,407
Except for the fact that you're
on the board at Stonewall Prep,
140
00:08:58,450 --> 00:09:01,323
which means on some level,
the school must reflect
your morals,
141
00:09:01,366 --> 00:09:03,934
which I'm not okay with.
142
00:09:03,978 --> 00:09:09,200
What if I told you that there
was an open counselor position
with a corner office
143
00:09:09,244 --> 00:09:11,202
and a big, fat paycheck?
144
00:09:11,246 --> 00:09:12,987
Thanks, but no thanks.
145
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:15,119
So we're playing hardball, huh?
146
00:09:15,163 --> 00:09:16,077
I guess so.
147
00:09:27,001 --> 00:09:29,438
You know, it used to be Kevin
and I would sneak peeks
148
00:09:29,481 --> 00:09:32,920
through that window,
hoping you were shirtless.
149
00:09:32,963 --> 00:09:36,793
-And now you're spying on?
-Ghoulies.
150
00:09:36,837 --> 00:09:39,317
They've turned the house into a drug den.
151
00:09:39,361 --> 00:09:42,538
[Betty] Well, that tracks with
everything my mom says about
this block.
152
00:09:44,061 --> 00:09:45,149
I'm sorry, Arch.
153
00:09:46,498 --> 00:09:48,152
It's only temporary.
154
00:09:48,196 --> 00:09:50,677
Like Hiram Lodge trying to
close down Riverdale High.
155
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,246
I'm taking this town
back, Betty, building by
building, if I have to.
156
00:09:55,290 --> 00:09:56,465
Well, I can help.
157
00:09:58,119 --> 00:10:00,817
I mean, I trained with the FBI.
158
00:10:00,861 --> 00:10:06,301
I may just take you up on that,
but first, I need a
little more information.
159
00:10:08,651 --> 00:10:10,000
[Archie] Where's the rest
of your team,
Sheriff Keller?
160
00:10:10,044 --> 00:10:11,349
You're looking at him.
161
00:10:11,393 --> 00:10:13,874
Mayor Lodge cut my budget to
the bone.
162
00:10:13,917 --> 00:10:16,528
I got no support staff and
no deputies.
163
00:10:16,572 --> 00:10:19,444
And I'm covering the whole damn
county by myself.
164
00:10:19,488 --> 00:10:23,405
Unless, of course, you count
Hiram's private security force.
165
00:10:23,448 --> 00:10:25,189
They're connected to SoDale?
166
00:10:25,233 --> 00:10:26,843
No, they work out of SoDale,
but they're corrupt as hell.
167
00:10:26,887 --> 00:10:29,150
You should who's
running the force.
168
00:10:29,193 --> 00:10:30,107
It's Reggie Mantle.
169
00:10:32,109 --> 00:10:35,069
Well, maybe Reggie can help me
with my Ghoulie problem.
170
00:10:35,112 --> 00:10:37,506
You call him,
he'll tip 'em off.
171
00:10:37,549 --> 00:10:39,682
I mean, he's probably getting
some kind of a
kickback from them.
172
00:10:39,726 --> 00:10:41,771
You're not gonna get any help
from Reggie.
173
00:10:41,815 --> 00:10:45,993
Well, not knowingly, anyway.
You may not have any
deputies left,
174
00:10:46,036 --> 00:10:48,125
but you still have their
old gear, right?
175
00:10:48,169 --> 00:10:51,955
Kevlar vests? Batons?
Now you might want to
dust them off, Tom.
176
00:10:51,999 --> 00:10:56,917
I'm gonna do some
recon first, but after that,
we're going in.
177
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,787
[snorts]
178
00:11:00,790 --> 00:11:04,489
I've been thinking a lot about
your offer, Trudy. Is that job
still on the table?
179
00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:06,448
Hell yes, it is.
The Morris William Agency
180
00:11:06,491 --> 00:11:08,885
would love to have you as a
sports agent.
181
00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:11,105
But what about the
whole LA of it all?
182
00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:14,412
Well, I've been wanting to give
the West Coast a try for a
while now.
183
00:11:14,456 --> 00:11:16,893
Let me make some arrangements
and I'll get back to you.
184
00:11:16,937 --> 00:11:19,330
-Okay?
- Okay.
185
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:20,680
First class, of course.
186
00:11:20,723 --> 00:11:23,291
Yes, of course, Miss Lodge.
187
00:11:23,334 --> 00:11:28,209
But I'm having a little trouble
with the credit card on file.
188
00:11:28,252 --> 00:11:30,341
Really?
189
00:11:30,385 --> 00:11:32,779
That doesn't make sense.
Let me get back to you.
190
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:35,738
It's so weird, Chad.
191
00:11:35,782 --> 00:11:38,349
I was doing some online
shopping, and
192
00:11:38,393 --> 00:11:40,961
our American Excess card
was declined.
193
00:11:41,004 --> 00:11:43,311
In fact, all of our
credit cards were declined.
194
00:11:43,354 --> 00:11:45,661
Yeah, the same thing happened
to me.
195
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,055
But don't worry. I'll have it
sorted by the time you get back
to New York.
196
00:11:48,098 --> 00:11:50,753
Which is when, exactly?
197
00:11:50,797 --> 00:11:54,714
The retirement party's in
two days, so probably the day
after that.
198
00:11:54,757 --> 00:11:57,238
Well, hurry.
199
00:11:57,281 --> 00:12:00,894
- I miss you.
-I will. I miss you too.
200
00:12:00,937 --> 00:12:02,852
Bye.
201
00:12:02,896 --> 00:12:05,333
Miss Veronica.
Excuse me for interrupting.
202
00:12:05,376 --> 00:12:07,291
No problem, Smithers.
What is it?
203
00:12:07,335 --> 00:12:09,946
I've noticed the same car
parked out front for
two days now,
204
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:11,992
a black sedan with
tinted windows.
205
00:12:12,035 --> 00:12:13,428
I fear you're being watched
206
00:12:14,081 --> 00:12:14,995
followed.
207
00:12:15,822 --> 00:12:18,085
I wouldn't be surprised.
208
00:12:18,128 --> 00:12:21,088
But is it a "Welcome back to
Riverdale" gift from my father
209
00:12:21,131 --> 00:12:25,440
or a not-so-subtle
message from my
overpossessive husband?
210
00:12:25,483 --> 00:12:30,619
Either way, it's time to get
creative and bring an
old friend out of mothballs.
211
00:12:33,535 --> 00:12:36,451
How high are you willing
to jump for these?
212
00:12:36,494 --> 00:12:39,367
Let's say twenty grand
for both.
213
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:43,763
I'll take thirty, but it has to
be in cash. Like, right now.
214
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:51,031
Also, you wouldn't by chance,
215
00:12:51,074 --> 00:12:55,600
happen to have any
tasteful, discreet
216
00:12:55,644 --> 00:12:59,300
ladylike revolvers
tucked away somewhere,
would you?
217
00:12:59,343 --> 00:13:01,955
You know, this being
Riverdale and all.
218
00:13:01,998 --> 00:13:03,043
I might have something.
219
00:13:19,624 --> 00:13:20,538
[screams]
220
00:13:20,582 --> 00:13:21,452
[gasping]
221
00:13:51,047 --> 00:13:52,309
[gasps]
222
00:13:52,353 --> 00:13:54,572
Oh, my god, Polly!
223
00:13:54,616 --> 00:13:55,922
You gave me a heart attack.
224
00:13:55,965 --> 00:13:57,227
You're the one
pointing a gun at me.
225
00:13:57,271 --> 00:13:58,315
Sorry.
226
00:13:58,359 --> 00:14:00,187
Old habits.
227
00:14:00,230 --> 00:14:01,841
It's also 3:00 in the morning.
228
00:14:01,884 --> 00:14:04,234
Well, you can go back to bed,
I'm not a burglar.
229
00:14:05,801 --> 00:14:06,846
Hey, can I...
230
00:14:09,761 --> 00:14:11,676
make you a cup of tea,
at least?
231
00:14:19,467 --> 00:14:21,425
Polly, I want to apologize
to you.
232
00:14:24,994 --> 00:14:28,563
I wasn't there for you
on the other side
of the Farm
233
00:14:28,606 --> 00:14:30,304
when you needed me most.
234
00:14:32,393 --> 00:14:35,700
Also for prank calling you
that year on Halloween,
235
00:14:35,744 --> 00:14:38,878
I really didn't mean
what I said.
236
00:14:41,097 --> 00:14:43,534
Well, it's a deep cut, Betty.
237
00:14:43,578 --> 00:14:44,535
Yeah, I know.
238
00:14:46,146 --> 00:14:47,321
I haven't forgotten.
239
00:14:51,281 --> 00:14:55,807
If it's not too late,
I'd like for us to be
real sisters to each other.
240
00:14:57,722 --> 00:14:59,289
How long you in town for?
241
00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:01,117
Just a couple days.
242
00:15:01,161 --> 00:15:03,859
But once I finish
at the Academy,
I'll be home a lot more.
243
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,948
I'm surprised you're not
already running the FBI.
244
00:15:07,123 --> 00:15:08,298
I don't know about that.
245
00:15:08,342 --> 00:15:09,647
[snickers]
246
00:15:11,954 --> 00:15:13,216
I've missed you, Betty.
247
00:15:14,652 --> 00:15:16,306
Mom, the twins...
248
00:15:18,221 --> 00:15:19,440
we've all missed you.
249
00:15:35,369 --> 00:15:36,761
Good morning.
250
00:15:36,805 --> 00:15:39,547
Good morning, honey.
How'd you sleep?
251
00:15:39,590 --> 00:15:41,592
Well, I woke up
when Polly got home.
252
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:44,204
Does she usually stay out
that late?
253
00:15:44,247 --> 00:15:46,032
She's working
at that nightclub,
254
00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:47,511
The Roving Eye.
255
00:15:47,555 --> 00:15:49,426
She waitresses
a few nights a week.
256
00:15:52,038 --> 00:15:53,300
Is that a good thing?
257
00:15:53,343 --> 00:15:54,736
She helps with the mortgage,
258
00:15:54,779 --> 00:15:56,694
gets the twins
everything they need.
259
00:15:56,738 --> 00:15:58,479
She's doing her best.
260
00:15:58,522 --> 00:15:59,915
-We all are.
-Oh, I know.
261
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,962
I just remember
the Roving Eye can be
262
00:16:03,005 --> 00:16:05,616
-sketchy.
-Okay, that's not fair,
Elizabeth.
263
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:07,488
You don't get to pop in,
take a look around
264
00:16:07,531 --> 00:16:10,012
and judge your sister.
Or me, for that matter.
265
00:16:10,056 --> 00:16:11,448
-[knock on door]
-Ooh.
266
00:16:11,492 --> 00:16:12,972
Can you get that?
It might be Toni.
267
00:16:14,886 --> 00:16:16,627
[Toni] Did you see
the morning paper, Alice?
268
00:16:16,671 --> 00:16:20,544
"Local school counselor runs
seedy bar and snake dances."
269
00:16:20,588 --> 00:16:22,068
[Toni] It's a hit piece.
270
00:16:22,111 --> 00:16:23,634
Hiram Lodge is trying
to ruin my credibility
271
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:24,853
in the eyes of
the school board.
272
00:16:24,896 --> 00:16:26,376
Well, I'll run damage control.
273
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:28,422
I'll call each board member
if I have to.
274
00:16:28,465 --> 00:16:30,467
Good. In the meantime,
275
00:16:30,511 --> 00:16:33,035
if Hiram Lodge is trying
to drag the Serpent Queen
down to his level,
276
00:16:33,079 --> 00:16:34,515
he's gonna get himself bit.
277
00:16:41,217 --> 00:16:42,871
[cell phone ringing]
278
00:16:45,352 --> 00:16:47,658
-Archie, what's up?
-Jug.
279
00:16:47,702 --> 00:16:50,009
How's the Five Seasons?
Room service every meal?
280
00:16:51,227 --> 00:16:52,924
Morning, noon and night.
281
00:16:52,968 --> 00:16:55,057
Look, I got an idea
for Pop Tate's retirement gift,
282
00:16:55,101 --> 00:16:57,842
but I was wondering
if maybe one of us
should say something.
283
00:16:57,886 --> 00:16:59,496
You know, give a speech
about Pop Tate.
284
00:16:59,540 --> 00:17:01,716
And since you're
the world famous writer...
285
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:02,847
Yeah.
286
00:17:02,891 --> 00:17:04,066
Yeah, I'd love that.
287
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:05,894
Okay, great. Thanks, Jug.
288
00:17:16,774 --> 00:17:18,733
[Archie] Reggie,
it's good to see you, bro.
289
00:17:18,776 --> 00:17:20,082
I appreciate you coming out.
290
00:17:20,126 --> 00:17:21,692
Duty calls, Mantle answers.
291
00:17:21,736 --> 00:17:23,912
You having trouble
with your tenants, you said?
292
00:17:23,955 --> 00:17:26,132
No, I'm having trouble
with the gang bangers
293
00:17:26,175 --> 00:17:29,091
who are using my house
as a drug den, I said.
294
00:17:29,135 --> 00:17:31,311
Well, let's see if there's
any merit to your claims.
295
00:17:34,705 --> 00:17:36,881
[heavy metal music playing]
296
00:17:36,925 --> 00:17:40,189
It's messy,
but I'm not seeing
any evidence
297
00:17:40,233 --> 00:17:41,408
of drug paraphernalia.
298
00:17:42,278 --> 00:17:43,627
Okay if we keep looking?
299
00:17:47,762 --> 00:17:49,416
Nothing in here,
but stale cereal.
300
00:17:49,459 --> 00:17:50,721
All right,
let's check upstairs.
301
00:17:55,726 --> 00:17:58,381
I'm sorry, Andrews.
I didn't see
any contraband anywhere.
302
00:17:59,165 --> 00:18:01,167
Yeah.
303
00:18:01,210 --> 00:18:03,821
You know, it's almost like
somebody tipped off
the Ghoulies.
304
00:18:08,696 --> 00:18:11,090
All right. Well,
there's nothing more
for me to say or do.
305
00:18:12,613 --> 00:18:13,918
But thanks
for your help, Reggie.
306
00:18:13,962 --> 00:18:15,006
My pleasure, bro.
307
00:18:30,631 --> 00:18:33,808
[Pop] Feels strange to think
of not working at this place.
308
00:18:33,851 --> 00:18:35,331
Well, on the bright side,
you won't have to deal
309
00:18:35,375 --> 00:18:37,246
with annoying customers
like me anymore.
310
00:18:37,290 --> 00:18:40,728
Now you know I had a lot worse
than you in here, Jughead.
311
00:18:40,771 --> 00:18:42,295
And it all worked out,
didn't it?
312
00:18:42,338 --> 00:18:44,123
I lived to see my retirement.
313
00:18:44,166 --> 00:18:46,125
And you, you're
a big-time writer now.
314
00:18:46,168 --> 00:18:48,214
-Always knew
you'd make a good--
-I'm sorry, Pop.
315
00:18:48,257 --> 00:18:52,827
Uh, those are debt collectors.
316
00:18:55,090 --> 00:18:56,526
[bells chiming]
317
00:18:57,614 --> 00:18:58,920
Hi there, gentlemen.
318
00:18:58,963 --> 00:19:00,748
Counter or booth?
319
00:19:00,791 --> 00:19:02,489
We're looking for someone.
Been known to hang around here.
320
00:19:02,532 --> 00:19:04,360
Jughead Jones. Seen him?
321
00:19:10,366 --> 00:19:14,936
No, I think I'd remember
a weird-ass name like that.
322
00:19:14,979 --> 00:19:16,111
What do you want with him?
323
00:19:17,765 --> 00:19:19,419
You just give us a call
if he comes in,
324
00:19:19,462 --> 00:19:21,072
okay, sweetie?
325
00:19:21,116 --> 00:19:23,814
Oh, I'll be sure
to do that, pumpkin.
326
00:19:24,424 --> 00:19:25,512
Bye now.
327
00:19:29,037 --> 00:19:29,864
[doorbell chiming]
328
00:19:33,346 --> 00:19:35,043
Thank you.
329
00:19:35,086 --> 00:19:37,567
It's not the greatest
first impression.
330
00:19:37,611 --> 00:19:39,656
How much you need, Jug?
Maybe I can loan you some.
331
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:41,702
I've been saving up--
332
00:19:41,745 --> 00:19:43,965
I'm low, but I'm not
low enough to take
your retirement money.
333
00:19:44,008 --> 00:19:45,880
I'll figure something out,
I always do.
334
00:19:45,923 --> 00:19:48,187
Thanks for the interview.
See you tomorrow.
335
00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:50,058
Hey, Jones.
336
00:19:50,101 --> 00:19:52,191
If you still want it,
the waiter job's available.
337
00:19:54,236 --> 00:19:56,412
Okay.
338
00:19:56,456 --> 00:19:58,806
In a couple days,
could you just call them
339
00:19:58,849 --> 00:20:00,938
and vouch for me
and say I have a job?
340
00:20:00,982 --> 00:20:05,204
I'll send them
half my weekly salary
so they don't break my legs.
341
00:20:06,814 --> 00:20:10,339
Yeah, I think I can do that.
342
00:20:10,383 --> 00:20:12,515
[Reggie] Long time
no see, Ronnie.
343
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:15,562
Reginald, I know you've been
working for my father,
344
00:20:15,605 --> 00:20:17,651
-so let's skip
the pleasantries.
-Fair enough.
345
00:20:17,694 --> 00:20:19,218
I need to buy a car.
346
00:20:19,261 --> 00:20:20,784
Nothing flashy,
just in good shape
347
00:20:20,828 --> 00:20:22,264
and with excellent gas mileage.
348
00:20:22,308 --> 00:20:23,439
I'm paying cash.
349
00:20:23,483 --> 00:20:25,267
Who you runnin' from?
350
00:20:25,311 --> 00:20:26,747
-Your husband?
-[scoffs]
351
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:28,139
Is that how you roll now?
352
00:20:28,183 --> 00:20:30,359
I'm not running
from anyone, Reggie.
353
00:20:30,403 --> 00:20:32,100
I'm taking the path
of least resistance,
354
00:20:32,143 --> 00:20:34,276
and I'd rather not leave
a paper trail.
355
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,323
Now, will you sell me
a car or not?
356
00:20:37,366 --> 00:20:39,238
If you're in trouble,
talk to your dad.
357
00:20:39,281 --> 00:20:41,065
Like really, talk to him.
358
00:20:41,109 --> 00:20:43,111
'Cause he'll help you.
Even now, still,
359
00:20:43,154 --> 00:20:44,243
with whatever you need.
360
00:20:56,342 --> 00:20:57,908
You're sure you saw Polly?
361
00:20:57,952 --> 00:20:59,606
No doubt about it.
362
00:20:59,649 --> 00:21:01,564
So she's hanging with
the Ghoulies, probably using.
363
00:21:01,608 --> 00:21:04,393
Seems like that's a safe bet.
364
00:21:04,437 --> 00:21:06,526
-I'm sorry, Betty.
-I'm not sorry.
365
00:21:07,353 --> 00:21:08,963
I'm pissed.
366
00:21:09,006 --> 00:21:12,096
So my question is,
when do we kick their asses?
367
00:21:13,924 --> 00:21:15,491
All right, thanks
to Reggie Mantle,
368
00:21:15,535 --> 00:21:17,450
I have enough intel
to sweep and clear the site.
369
00:21:17,493 --> 00:21:19,190
How many Ghoulies
are in your house?
370
00:21:19,234 --> 00:21:21,018
I counted a dozen
in these zones.
371
00:21:21,062 --> 00:21:22,803
We hit 'em hard,
372
00:21:22,846 --> 00:21:24,892
-we hit 'em fast.
-Nice.
373
00:21:24,935 --> 00:21:26,285
It's been too long
since the Serpents rumbled
with the Ghoulies.
374
00:21:26,328 --> 00:21:27,547
Calm down, Sweet Pea.
375
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:29,331
I don't want
anyone dying today,
376
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:30,724
especially not my boyfriend.
377
00:21:30,767 --> 00:21:32,291
Hopefully, they've
dropped their guard
378
00:21:32,334 --> 00:21:33,683
and we can find
some narcotics in the house.
379
00:21:33,727 --> 00:21:36,077
And like Kev said,
no one gets killed.
380
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,644
None of us and none of them.
381
00:21:37,687 --> 00:21:39,123
Wouldn't mind breaking
a few bones, though.
382
00:21:39,167 --> 00:21:40,342
Hell, yeah.
383
00:21:40,386 --> 00:21:44,781
♪ Don't you ever feel sad
384
00:21:44,825 --> 00:21:45,913
♪ Lean on me...
385
00:21:45,956 --> 00:21:49,656
Okay. Three, two, one. Go.
386
00:21:50,613 --> 00:21:52,006
What the hell?
387
00:21:52,049 --> 00:21:53,094
Get 'em.
388
00:21:58,926 --> 00:22:07,848
[grunting]
389
00:22:17,466 --> 00:22:18,728
You good?
390
00:22:18,772 --> 00:22:19,947
-Yeah, you?
-Yeah.
391
00:22:27,607 --> 00:22:28,738
Jingle Jangle.
392
00:22:28,782 --> 00:22:30,392
Just like the old days.
393
00:22:30,436 --> 00:22:32,394
They've got a lab set up
in the bathroom.
394
00:22:32,438 --> 00:22:35,136
Will that be enough
to put 'em behind bars,
Agent Cooper?
395
00:22:35,179 --> 00:22:37,268
Yeah, Kev, that should do it.
396
00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:44,188
-[line ringing]
-[manager]
The Roving Eye.
397
00:22:44,232 --> 00:22:45,625
Hi, this is Polly.
398
00:22:45,668 --> 00:22:47,366
I'm just calling
to get my schedule
for the week.
399
00:22:47,409 --> 00:22:49,280
Polly Cooper?
400
00:22:49,324 --> 00:22:50,847
You haven't worked at
the Roving Eye
for over a year.
401
00:22:50,891 --> 00:22:52,022
Who is this?
402
00:22:54,242 --> 00:22:55,417
[exhales]
403
00:22:55,461 --> 00:22:57,071
[Weatherbee] Bad news.
404
00:22:57,114 --> 00:22:58,899
Two more teachers have
defected to Stonewall Prep,
405
00:22:58,942 --> 00:23:00,204
Ms. Crouton and Mr. Cedars.
406
00:23:00,248 --> 00:23:02,250
Damn it, Ms. Crouton!
407
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:04,687
-That backstabbing--
-[Toni] We've got
a bigger problem.
408
00:23:04,731 --> 00:23:06,820
I had one of my girls
break into my Hiram's office
409
00:23:06,863 --> 00:23:08,648
to see what dirt
we could use against him,
410
00:23:08,691 --> 00:23:10,911
and she found his secret agenda
for the town hall meeting.
411
00:23:10,954 --> 00:23:13,217
I love that it feels like
we're in an episode
of Successionright now.
412
00:23:13,261 --> 00:23:15,437
And besides deciding
about Riverdale High,
413
00:23:15,481 --> 00:23:18,614
Hiram is also putting forth
a vote to unincorporate
the town.
414
00:23:18,658 --> 00:23:21,443
Based on the receipts,
seems as though he has
enough people bribed
415
00:23:21,487 --> 00:23:23,140
or terrorized
into passing the motion.
416
00:23:23,184 --> 00:23:25,099
Wait, unincorporate the town,
what does that even mean?
417
00:23:25,142 --> 00:23:26,970
It means that all the money
418
00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:29,320
that the town gets
from the state
for public services,
419
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:32,019
for maintenance,
for education, it goes away.
420
00:23:32,062 --> 00:23:34,456
It means that Riverdale
as a town, ceases to exist.
421
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,546
So Hiram Lodge
will finally get
what he's wanted for years...
422
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:40,288
-The death of Riverdale.
-So his precious SoDale
can thrive.
423
00:23:40,331 --> 00:23:42,246
But if that happens,
would we even be able
424
00:23:42,290 --> 00:23:44,292
to keep the school open
with the board's support?
425
00:23:44,335 --> 00:23:45,728
Technically, yes.
426
00:23:45,772 --> 00:23:46,947
But it's going to make it
much, much harder.
427
00:23:46,990 --> 00:23:48,470
So we need to fight harder.
428
00:23:48,514 --> 00:23:50,385
Alice, I'm going to need you
to go on RIVW
429
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:51,952
and blow the whistle
on Hiram's plan.
430
00:23:51,995 --> 00:23:53,432
He was trying to keep it secret
431
00:23:53,475 --> 00:23:55,608
so no one would show up
and oppose him,
432
00:23:55,651 --> 00:23:58,480
but we need the public there
so they could vote
against Hiram's plan.
433
00:23:58,524 --> 00:24:00,090
Okay, but what about
our teacher problem?
434
00:24:00,134 --> 00:24:01,962
I think I can maybe help
with that.
435
00:24:02,005 --> 00:24:05,444
Oh, do you know
any qualified teachers
with degrees?
436
00:24:05,487 --> 00:24:07,533
Because that's what it takes to be a public school teacher.
437
00:24:07,576 --> 00:24:08,882
What if Riverdale went private?
438
00:24:08,925 --> 00:24:10,318
That way we could choose
who we wanted.
439
00:24:10,361 --> 00:24:12,189
Yes, but we'd lose
all public funding.
440
00:24:12,233 --> 00:24:13,408
Well, if the town
unincorporates,
441
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:14,409
we lose funding anyways.
442
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:15,758
We need an investor.
443
00:24:17,281 --> 00:24:19,153
I think I might know someone.
444
00:24:19,196 --> 00:24:23,026
Archie, if you have
any favors to call in,
now is the time.
445
00:24:25,638 --> 00:24:28,379
[Veronica] Reggie suggested
I come see you again.
446
00:24:28,423 --> 00:24:31,339
I've been running around town
trying to vamp my way
out of a problem,
447
00:24:31,382 --> 00:24:34,298
when really I should be
facing it head-on.
448
00:24:34,342 --> 00:24:37,127
With, maybe, your help.
449
00:24:39,608 --> 00:24:41,523
Go on.
450
00:24:41,567 --> 00:24:46,093
Chad is threatened
by my "alpha-ness."
451
00:24:46,136 --> 00:24:50,314
Because of that,
he can be somewhat
possessive and controlling.
452
00:24:50,358 --> 00:24:51,838
He was having me followed,
453
00:24:51,881 --> 00:24:55,189
but I just shot out
his goon's tires. So...
454
00:24:55,232 --> 00:24:57,191
Ah, young love.
455
00:24:57,234 --> 00:24:58,758
I remember those days.
456
00:24:58,801 --> 00:25:01,021
I knew you'd relate.
457
00:25:01,064 --> 00:25:04,459
Which is why I'd
appreciate you having
a little chat with him,
458
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:06,548
as only you can, Daddykins.
459
00:25:06,592 --> 00:25:08,028
Nothing too draconian,
460
00:25:08,071 --> 00:25:11,379
just tell him to stop trying
to manage me
461
00:25:11,422 --> 00:25:13,076
or track me when I leave town.
462
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:14,556
Why don't you
tell him yourself?
463
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,253
He's not taking my hints.
464
00:25:16,297 --> 00:25:20,257
But I'm betting the Hiram Lodge
465
00:25:20,301 --> 00:25:23,347
could be a lot more persuasive.
466
00:25:23,391 --> 00:25:27,308
And then you don't get
your little Barnard-educated
hands dirty, is that right?
467
00:25:30,311 --> 00:25:31,225
Hmm.
468
00:25:31,268 --> 00:25:33,140
So,
469
00:25:33,183 --> 00:25:34,837
just to be clear,
you're officially asking me
for my help?
470
00:25:37,318 --> 00:25:38,493
Sure.
471
00:25:39,625 --> 00:25:41,583
Yes, I am.
472
00:25:41,627 --> 00:25:42,976
Well, in that case...
473
00:25:44,717 --> 00:25:45,805
No.
474
00:25:47,589 --> 00:25:48,721
Come again?
475
00:25:50,723 --> 00:25:52,638
Remember you called me a dog
476
00:25:52,681 --> 00:25:55,162
and you told me that
I needed to be taught a lesson?
477
00:25:55,205 --> 00:25:56,250
It's about seven years ago.
478
00:25:56,293 --> 00:25:58,078
You were cruel, Veronica.
479
00:25:58,948 --> 00:26:00,559
Brutal,
480
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,343
when my body
was just a mass of bruises.
481
00:26:02,386 --> 00:26:04,867
Well, now it's my turn
to teach you a lesson.
482
00:26:04,911 --> 00:26:07,348
-[scoffs]
-I warned you from the start
483
00:26:07,391 --> 00:26:09,568
that no one
outside of this family
484
00:26:09,611 --> 00:26:12,614
would understand
the Lodge ambition.
485
00:26:12,658 --> 00:26:14,311
You made your bed.
486
00:26:14,355 --> 00:26:16,618
You're gonna have to deal
with Chad yourself.
487
00:26:16,662 --> 00:26:19,490
And if that means you have to
to crawl into the mud
to do it, then so be it.
488
00:26:20,491 --> 00:26:22,493
You're a Lodge, after all.
489
00:26:22,537 --> 00:26:25,279
You never had any intention
of helping me, did you?
490
00:26:25,322 --> 00:26:27,107
You just wanted to hear me beg.
491
00:26:27,150 --> 00:26:29,849
Hmm. I assume
you don't need my help
finding the exit?
492
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,731
But Polly, it's not every day
that Pop Tate retires.
493
00:26:42,775 --> 00:26:44,951
-We can bring the twins.
-I told you I have to work.
494
00:26:44,994 --> 00:26:46,343
Can't you take the night off?
495
00:26:46,387 --> 00:26:48,041
Oh, my god. Mom,
I said get off my back!
496
00:26:48,084 --> 00:26:50,696
Polly, give Mom a break.
497
00:26:50,739 --> 00:26:52,654
It's fine. Polly has to work.
498
00:26:55,831 --> 00:26:58,007
Actually, I'm not so sure
she does, Mom.
499
00:26:59,487 --> 00:27:01,924
I know you don't
waitress at the Roving Eye
500
00:27:01,968 --> 00:27:03,839
and that you've been
hanging out with the Ghoulies.
501
00:27:03,883 --> 00:27:05,362
Elizabeth, stop it!
502
00:27:05,406 --> 00:27:07,234
So how exactly are you
making all of this money
503
00:27:07,277 --> 00:27:09,758
to help out with the mortgage
and support the twins?
504
00:27:09,802 --> 00:27:12,021

to live my life,

It's a small token to show

to Riverdale High,
to the whole town.

I think sometimes
it can be hard

something really special here,

I know it sounds crazy,
656

but it's also a way to
keep the school going,
657
00:34:22,973 --> 00:34:25,237
which means
if Hiram wins the vote,
658
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,283
we still have a defendable
position, this school.
659
00:34:28,327 --> 00:34:31,678
And if we can save it,
we can give people at least
660

one more reason
to stay in Riverdale.
661

00:35:15,591 --> 00:35:18,768
I'd like to shape some
impressionable young minds.
682
00:35:18,812 --> 00:35:19,900
[Veronica] I'm in, too.
683
00:35:19,943 --> 00:35:21,597
I'll make it work with Chad.
684
00:35:21,641 --> 00:35:23,251
And considering that
what's happening here
685
00:35:23,295 --> 00:35:25,210
is all my dad's fault...
686
00:35:25,253 --> 00:35:27,690
I need to give back
more than anyone.
687
00:35:27,734 --> 00:35:30,128
And I didn't really wanna be
a sports agent anyway.
688
00:35:30,171 --> 00:35:32,042
That's awesome, Veronica.
689
00:35:32,086 --> 00:35:35,176
-So... Bulldogs forever?
-[thumps lap]
690
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:36,656
[Jughead exhales]
691
00:35:36,699 --> 00:35:37,961
[chuckles]
692
00:35:40,616 --> 00:35:42,575
[all] Bulldogs forever!
693
00:35:42,618 --> 00:35:44,054
[Betty chuckles]
694
00:35:44,098 --> 00:35:45,534
[Hiram] Before
the school board votes
695
00:35:45,578 --> 00:35:47,319
on the fate of Riverdale High,
696
00:35:47,362 --> 00:35:50,583
Toni Topaz has asked
to say a few words.
697
00:35:50,626 --> 00:35:51,758
Good afternoon!
698
00:35:51,801 --> 00:35:53,803
My name is Toni Topaz,
699
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:57,372
and I am a guidance counselor
at Riverdale High.
700
00:35:57,416 --> 00:36:01,507
The point of a school board is to make sure there's equity,
701
00:36:01,550 --> 00:36:05,206
that kids of all ages, from all different backgrounds
702
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:08,470
have equal access to education.
703
00:36:08,514 --> 00:36:14,389
Well, with the help of one
very generous donor,
704
00:36:14,433 --> 00:36:16,391
I'm happy to announce
that Riverdale High
705
00:36:16,435 --> 00:36:19,699
will be able to do that
as a private school.
706
00:36:19,742 --> 00:36:21,266
[applause]
707
00:36:21,309 --> 00:36:23,442
[Toni] And unlike other
private schools,
708
00:36:23,485 --> 00:36:26,706
Riverdale will be tuition-free.
709
00:36:26,749 --> 00:36:29,056
And we're bolstering
our teaching staff
710
00:36:29,099 --> 00:36:33,452
with notable alumnus
like Sergeant Archie Andrews,
711
00:36:33,495 --> 00:36:38,413
FBI trainee and Yale graduate, Betty Cooper,
712
00:36:38,457 --> 00:36:42,112
businesswoman and Barnard grad, Veronica Gekko
713
00:36:42,156 --> 00:36:46,900
and acclaimed author,
Forsythe Jones III.
714
00:36:46,943 --> 00:36:48,945
So spread the news
far and wide,
715
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:50,338
that Riverdale
and its children,
716
00:36:50,382 --> 00:36:52,688
will not be at the mercy
717
00:36:52,732 --> 00:36:56,518
of Hiram Lodge's
destructive whims.
718
00:36:56,562 --> 00:36:57,606
Thank you.
719
00:36:57,650 --> 00:36:58,999
[all applauding and cheering]
720
00:36:59,042 --> 00:37:00,000
That's very nice.
721
00:37:03,656 --> 00:37:05,571
That was better than
Kendall Roy's speech
722
00:37:05,614 --> 00:37:06,702
at the end of season two.
723
00:37:06,746 --> 00:37:08,530
And now, I'd like to introduce
724
00:37:08,574 --> 00:37:11,533
what I hope will be
my last motion as Mayor,
725
00:37:11,577 --> 00:37:15,102
a proposition to unincorporate the town of Riverdale.
726
00:37:17,452 --> 00:37:18,671
All those opposed?
727
00:37:20,499 --> 00:37:21,587
All those in favor?
728
00:37:25,895 --> 00:37:27,593
Majority wins.
729
00:37:27,636 --> 00:37:29,943
The township of Riverdale
is hereby dissolved.
730
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:34,295
[faint applause]
731
00:37:38,343 --> 00:37:40,214
[Jughead] What had taken
decades to build
732
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:42,390
was toppled in
the blink of an eye.
733
00:37:42,434 --> 00:37:45,654
With the rap of a gavel,
Riverdale was no more.
734
00:37:45,698 --> 00:37:48,135
And yet, life continues.
735
00:37:48,178 --> 00:37:50,006
[cell phone ringing]
736
00:37:50,703 --> 00:37:52,052
[sighs]
737
00:37:54,489 --> 00:37:55,795
Samm, I was gonna call you.
738
00:37:55,838 --> 00:37:57,536
Jones, Scribners loved
your story
739
00:37:57,579 --> 00:37:58,493
about the old man.
740
00:37:59,886 --> 00:38:01,409
-They what?
-Yeah.
741
00:38:01,453 --> 00:38:03,150
They think it's your next book and a slam dunk.
742
00:38:03,193 --> 00:38:04,717
Apparently, there's,
there's a huge market right now
743
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,284
for tragic Americana,
744
00:38:06,327 --> 00:38:07,894
dying community,
745
00:38:07,937 --> 00:38:10,113
all of the miserable people
who live there,
746
00:38:10,157 --> 00:38:12,290
you know, we'll call it
Elegy for a Small Town.
747
00:38:12,333 --> 00:38:13,247
What do you think?
748
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:15,336
Ah...
749
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:17,947
No, I don't wanna
write about that.
750
00:38:17,991 --> 00:38:19,862
You don't have a choice, Jones.
This is your ticket
751
00:38:19,906 --> 00:38:22,169
under the literary grave
you dug for yourself.
752
00:38:22,212 --> 00:38:24,998
Now you need to deliver.
Understood?
753
00:38:25,041 --> 00:38:26,826
-Yeah, understood.
-Thank you.
754
00:38:36,183 --> 00:38:37,097
[sighs wearily]
755
00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:45,192
Hey, Mom. I checked upstairs.
756
00:38:45,235 --> 00:38:47,760
The twins are playing,
but Polly's still not home.
757
00:38:47,803 --> 00:38:49,414
I'm worried.
758
00:38:49,457 --> 00:38:51,154
You know your sister.
She gets angry, storms off.
759
00:38:51,198 --> 00:38:52,591
God knows when she'll be back.
760
00:38:52,634 --> 00:38:54,419
This is what happens.
761
00:38:54,462 --> 00:38:55,898
But this one's
on you, Elizabeth.
762
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,861
[Veronica] I'm not
coming home just yet.
763
00:39:01,904 --> 00:39:04,690
I'm gonna stay in Riverdale
a little bit longer, Chad.
764
00:39:04,733 --> 00:39:07,170
Oh... why is that?
765
00:39:07,214 --> 00:39:10,652
My alma mater, Riverdale High,
has fallen on hard times
766
00:39:10,696 --> 00:39:12,219
and needs my help.
767
00:39:12,262 --> 00:39:13,916
So, I'll be teaching there.
768
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,570
That's absurd.
769
00:39:15,614 --> 00:39:19,400
No, no. What's absurd is
you freezing our credit cards,
770
00:39:19,444 --> 00:39:21,881
especially since I made
most of the money
771
00:39:21,924 --> 00:39:23,535
that's in our joint accounts.
772
00:39:23,578 --> 00:39:25,406
Yeah.
773
00:39:25,450 --> 00:39:30,150
So, if they're not unfrozen
in the next, say, 30 minutes,
774
00:39:30,193 --> 00:39:32,239
I'll consider it
an act of aggression.
775
00:39:32,282 --> 00:39:34,197
You know, like you
having me followed.
776
00:39:34,241 --> 00:39:35,764
And the next time you see me,
777
00:39:35,808 --> 00:39:38,245
it'll be on Wall Street,
on the floor,
778
00:39:38,288 --> 00:39:39,942
when the markets open
Monday morning.
779
00:39:39,986 --> 00:39:42,380
And this she wolf
will tear out your throat
780
00:39:42,423 --> 00:39:44,164
in front of
all the other alpha dogs,
781
00:39:44,207 --> 00:39:45,731
with zero hesitation.
782
00:39:45,774 --> 00:39:47,733
Is that it, then?
783
00:39:47,776 --> 00:39:49,387
-Are we done?
-You have 30 minutes
784
00:39:49,430 --> 00:39:50,388
to reactivate our cards.
785
00:39:55,741 --> 00:39:57,743
[car alarm blaring]
786
00:40:05,011 --> 00:40:05,925
[phone chimes]
787
00:40:10,146 --> 00:40:11,887
[dog barks distantly]
788
00:40:12,801 --> 00:40:13,759
[phone chimes]
789
00:40:17,545 --> 00:40:18,981
[knocking at door]
790
00:40:28,643 --> 00:40:31,385
-Jug.
-Hey... Sorry, it's late.
791
00:40:32,517 --> 00:40:34,257
Wondering if you could, uh...
792
00:40:34,301 --> 00:40:35,520
use a roommate, now that you're
793
00:40:35,563 --> 00:40:37,435
in this big, empty house
all by yourself.
794
00:40:37,478 --> 00:40:39,828
[scoffs] Yeah, what happened to
the Five Seasons?
795
00:40:39,872 --> 00:40:42,831
It's a little rich
for my blood.
796
00:40:42,875 --> 00:40:43,789
Come in.
797
00:40:50,665 --> 00:40:54,147
[calling phone]
798
00:40:54,190 --> 00:40:55,888
Hey, it's Polly.
Leave a message.
799
00:40:55,931 --> 00:40:58,847
Polly, it's me again.
800
00:40:58,891 --> 00:41:02,590
I wanted to say that I'm sorry
about what I said before.
801
00:41:02,634 --> 00:41:04,810
I really had no right
to judge you,
802
00:41:04,853 --> 00:41:07,508
especially after being gone
for so long.
803
00:41:07,552 --> 00:41:08,596
It wasn't my place.
804
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,946
So, I wanna tell you that
805
00:41:10,990 --> 00:41:13,209
I love you,
and that I'm here for you.
806
00:41:13,253 --> 00:41:14,733
So just call me.
807
00:41:14,776 --> 00:41:17,083
And I'll come find you,
wherever you are
808
00:41:17,126 --> 00:41:19,085
or I'll see you
when you get home.
809
00:41:19,128 --> 00:41:21,174
Just please, please, please,
come home.
