00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:11,302
-[narrator] Previously on Riverdale:
-Ben and I thought it was a game.
2
00:00:11,386 --> 00:00:13,013 But it's not. It's so much more.
3
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:15,098
-He's real. The Gargoyle King.
-Dilton?
4
00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:19,060
Ben. Hey.
5
00:00:19,561 --> 00:00:23,064 Framing Archie for murder, conspiring to keep him locked away?
6
00:00:23,148 --> 00:00:25,191
You don't have a daughter anymore.
7
00:00:25,692 --> 00:00:26,943 We start a version of the Farm.
8
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:29,529
You're actually buying this Farm crap
9
00:00:29,612 --> 00:00:32,282 that a huckster named
Edgar Evernever is selling you.
10
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:33,825
[Alice] Oh, my God.
11
00:00:33,908 --> 00:00:35,410
-Betty.
-I didn't kill anyone.
12
00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:37,912
But I could've.
I have to take responsibility.
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
13
00:00:37,996 --> 00:00:40,123
I can't put everyone through this again.
14
00:00:40,206 --> 00:00:42,333
I'll take the deal.
Your Honor, I'm guilty.
15
00:00:44,085 --> 00:00:45,503
[school bell ringing]
16
00:00:46,337 --> 00:00:47,630
[Jughead] We've all felt it.
17
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:49,466
The first day of a new school year.
18
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:51,676 Butterflies in the stomach.
19
00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:54,512
We've all looked around, and wondered,
20
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:56,556 where will I fit in here?
21
00:00:57,265 --> 00:00:58,850 Who will I sit with at lunch?
22
00:01:03,688 --> 00:01:05,273 Will I even make it till lunch?
23
00:01:09,611 --> 00:01:13,490 Multiply that by a thousand, and that's how Archie Andrews felt
24
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:14,908 as he was being processed
25
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:18,411 at the Leopold & Loeb
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
Juvenile Detention Center.
26
00:01:19,579 --> 00:01:22,791
Andrews. Warden wants to see you.
Let's go.
27
00:01:34,177 --> 00:01:36,221
It's Shakespeare. Know what it means?
28
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:37,764
No, sir.
29
00:01:37,972 --> 00:01:40,809
Means you're alone and have no one to blame but yourself.
30
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:42,477
I read your file.
31
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:45,980
Besides killing that boy at Shadow Lake...
32
00:01:47,315 --> 00:01:49,317
I'm told you have an affinity for music.
33
00:01:50,026 --> 00:01:51,111
We have a music room.
34
00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:53,154 No one uses it, but it's there.
35
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:56,533
I keep an orderly house, Mr. Andrews.
36
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:59,702
Respect that, and we'll get on just fine.
37
00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:02,789
-You understand?
-Yes, sir.
38
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
00:02:04,749 --> 00:02:08,128
I just got off the phone with the warden at juvenile hall.
39
00:02:08,211 --> 00:02:10,004 He says Archie's been processed.
40
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,215
-He's okay.
-Oh, thank God.
41
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:16,678
Yeah. They got a line on those three thugs that gave false testimony against him.
42
00:02:16,761 --> 00:02:19,055 I'm friends with the sheriff at Shadow County.
43
00:02:19,139 --> 00:02:21,224
He found a campfire in the deep woods.
44
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:24,561
Archie's in jail, and these cretins are basically camping.
45
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,646
Not for long. We'll make sure of that.
46
00:02:26,729 --> 00:02:29,732
Meanwhile I'll keep the home fires burning at Riverdale High
47
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:33,903 so everyone knows my Archiekins will be back in time for Homecoming.
48
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:36,656
And everything will be just as he left it.
49
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:39,409 Dr. Patel kept Betty overnight for observation,
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
50
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,244 but it was just a precaution.
51
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:43,329
Did he say what caused the seizure?
52
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:47,625 They ran tests, but he suspects it's just good old-fashioned stress.
53
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:51,921
Oh, Betty.
I was up all night with the twins.
54
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:54,924
-We were so worried about you.
-You were worried about me?
55
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:57,802
And Juniper and Dagwood?
Are they all right?
56
00:02:57,886 --> 00:02:59,345
Okay, here we go again.
57
00:02:59,429 --> 00:03:02,307 Juniper and Dagwood are napping.
They're fine.
58
00:03:03,349 --> 00:03:04,434
Why wouldn't they be?
59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,899
Um, because I saw you and Mom throw the twins into a giant bonfire last night.
60
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:12,066
Right, that's enough.
61
00:03:12,150 --> 00:03:15,653
The only thing burning last night
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
was the hibachi in the backyard.
62
00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:18,072
-We made skewers with friends.
-From the Farm?
63
00:03:18,156 --> 00:03:19,449 Yeah, as a matter of fact.
64
00:03:19,532 --> 00:03:22,577 You must've had a hallucination while you had the seizure.
65
00:03:28,583 --> 00:03:30,126
It was so real.
66
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:32,629
Sweetheart.
67
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:34,505
[cell phone buzzing]
68
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:39,427
[Betty] My God.
69
00:03:39,510 --> 00:03:41,012
-Dilton is dead?
-Yeah.
70
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:44,515 And Ben from the drive-in? He's barely hanging on.
71
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:47,352
Doctors don't know when, or if, he's even gonna wake up.
72
00:03:47,435 --> 00:03:50,897
Sheriff Minetta asked me to keep it hush-hush for the families,
73
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:52,649
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
but, Betty, what I saw was...
74
00:03:53,608 --> 00:03:55,777
-What, Jug?
-It was like a ritual site.
75
00:03:56,694 --> 00:04:01,032
Their lips were blue. There were chalices, that were filled with poison or something.
76
00:04:01,115 --> 00:04:04,535 Animal bones were in a circle. The tree had markings on it.
77
00:04:04,619 --> 00:04:07,247
There was a winged totem, with a skull and branches.
78
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:09,540
Was it a murder or a suicide pact gone wrong?
79
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:12,210
I have no idea. I saw Ben and Dilton.
80
00:04:12,293 --> 00:04:13,920 Playing a weird game at Pop's.
81
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:16,839
Dilton was raving about someone called the Gargoyle King.
82
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:22,470 I was also thinking that maybe you and I could investigate this together.
83
00:04:23,554 --> 00:04:27,433
For old times' sake. Or at least until we catch a new lead with Archie's case.
84
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,561
I like that idea.
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
85
00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:36,818
I'll try to see if Dr. Curdle can get us into the coroner's office.
86
00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:39,404
Have more romantic words ever been spoken?
87
00:04:39,487 --> 00:04:40,405
No.
88
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:43,574
[man] You bunk with Mad Dog.
89
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:44,575
[inmates shouting]
90
00:04:51,541 --> 00:04:53,751
[jazz music playing on speakers]
91
00:04:53,876 --> 00:04:55,044
Hey.
92
00:04:55,878 --> 00:04:57,672
I'm Archie. You're Mad Dog, right?
93
00:04:58,047 --> 00:04:58,965
[exhaling sharply]
94
00:05:14,939 --> 00:05:16,316
How long you been in?
95
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,032
[music stops]
96
00:05:34,876 --> 00:05:37,170
-Listen, since we're cellmates--
-Nice shoes.
97
00:05:38,546 --> 00:05:40,214 I'd keep them tied real tight.
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
98
00:05:48,514 --> 00:05:52,810
Mr. Weatherbee? As Archie's girlfriend, and former running mate,
99
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:56,647
I wanted to let you know I'm stepping in as interim student body president.
100
00:05:56,731 --> 00:05:59,609
Sorry, someone else already petitioned to be president.
101
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:02,320
-Just this morning.
-What? Who did?
102
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:08,284
Cheryl, what do you think you're doing, trying to steal Archie's presidency?
103
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,953 Who would you have lead us through these dark times?
104
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:13,122
Ethel Muggs? I saw the poor girl earlier.
105
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,249
She was fuguing about a winged creature
106
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,001
-that was after her.
-Actually...
107
00:06:17,418 --> 00:06:19,337
I thought I'd keep Archie's seat warm.
108
00:06:20,838 --> 00:06:24,384
Why? When JFK was shot,
Jackie O. didn't become president.
109
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:25,593
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
Lyndon B. Johnson did.
110
00:06:26,094 --> 00:06:27,887
And then he lead us into Vietnam.
111
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:29,972
I'm just saying.
112
00:06:31,265 --> 00:06:33,893
Her man's in the big house, Cheryl.
Give her a break.
113
00:06:33,976 --> 00:06:38,898
I get it. And I sympathize, up to a point.
114
00:06:38,981 --> 00:06:40,566 But let's be reals, Veronica.
115
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,985
I need this presidency for college applications
116
00:06:43,069 --> 00:06:44,320 a lot more than Archie.
117
00:07:07,802 --> 00:07:08,803
You mind if I sit?
118
00:07:17,145 --> 00:07:18,146
I'm Slash.
119
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:20,857
Who gave you that ink?
120
00:07:20,940 --> 00:07:22,775
-Looks fresh.
-FP Jones did.
121
00:07:23,359 --> 00:07:27,363
His son, Jughead, made me a Serpent. Said I could hang out with you guys.
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
122
00:07:28,156 --> 00:07:29,866
[Joaquin] You're no Serpent, Archie.
123
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:34,704
Joaquin.
What the hell are you doing in juvie?
124
00:07:35,204 --> 00:07:37,915
Didn't you hear?
I came to town to help Fangs escape,
125
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:39,500 stuck around.
126
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,170 Got hauled in during Riot Night.
127
00:07:43,671 --> 00:07:47,383
I know this guy, Slash.
He's Mr. Clean-Cut, All-American.
128
00:07:47,467 --> 00:07:49,343
You're Jughead's pal, not a Serpent.
129
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:53,639
You have to earn our trust and protection, with a test of loyalty.
130
00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:55,892
See that Ghoulie?
131
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:00,313 I want you to go up to him...
132
00:08:02,773 --> 00:08:03,774 and shiv him.
133
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:07,945 Don't worry about the guards. We pay them to turn a blind eye.
134
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
00:08:10,072 --> 00:08:12,825
Do that, and then we'll have your back, huh?
135
00:08:12,909 --> 00:08:13,951
You're kidding, right?
136
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:22,585
Not gonna happen, bro.
137
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:25,463
I don't need your protection that bad.
138
00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:29,592
[inmate] Nice shoes.
139
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:31,260
[inmates whistling]
140
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:37,350
Dr. Curdle?
141
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:41,812
-Oh. You're not--
-I'm his son.
142
00:08:42,146 --> 00:08:45,775 We spoke over the phone earlier.
I took over after my father passed away.
143
00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:48,402
-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Do you have the money?
144
00:08:55,826 --> 00:08:57,411 The toxicology report revealed
145
00:08:57,495 --> 00:09:00,122 lethal levels of cyanide in Mr. Doiley's blood.
146
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,459
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
I surmise the surviving boy didn't drink enough to finish the job.
147
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:07,213 Dr. Curdle, if you had to guess, murder or suicide?
148
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:10,591
Well, the body did show signs of stress.
149
00:09:12,468 --> 00:09:15,137
Three symbols carved out on his back.
Runic, I'd say.
150
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:16,430 Mind if I get a shot of this?
151
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:22,979
What caused, uh... the blue lips?
152
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:26,148
The cyanide was mixed into a sugary drink called Fresh-Aid.
153
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:27,858
Blueberry-flavored.
154
00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:32,572 There's something dimly familiar about this.
155
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:35,658
But you asked me before if I thought this was murder,
156
00:09:36,033 --> 00:09:37,034 or suicide.
157
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:40,663
I'm not sure what it is, but whatever it is,
158
8FLiX.com TRANSCRIPTS DATABASE FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:43,583 it's darker than what happened to Jason Blossom,
159
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:45,543 or what the Black Hood did.
160
00:09:45,626 --> 00:09:48,296
No, what we're looking at here, I believe,
161
00:09:49,171 --> 00:09:50,965 is the true face of evil.

[playing blues tune]
163
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:44,644
-What's up, guys?
-You don't remember us?
164
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:46,187 Should I? Have we met before?
165
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:49,482
We were at the drag race the day you called the cops on us.
166
00:10:49,565 --> 00:10:50,775
We're in because of you.
167
00:10:51,776 --> 00:10:52,610
Ghoulies.
168
00:10:52,943 --> 00:10:53,778
Crap.
169
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:56,030
Look, I don't want any trouble. I'm sorry.
170
00:10:56,989 --> 00:10:59,116
Neither do we. We just want your shoes.

00:11:00,409 --> 00:11:01,452
What?
172
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:04,914
Don't touch his face.
173
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:11,003 Why are you sitting that way?
174
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:12,963 I'm just a little sore, Ronnie.
175
00:11:13,422 --> 00:11:14,340
Sore from what?
176
00:11:15,257 --> 00:11:17,134
Working out. There's an amazing gym.
177
00:11:17,218 --> 00:11:18,135
Uh-huh.
178
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:22,056
And where are your shoes?
179
00:11:22,556 --> 00:11:25,518
The warden took them when I got here, with my other clothes.
180
00:11:25,601 --> 00:11:27,186
-That makes no sense.
-Ronnie.
181
00:11:27,853 --> 00:11:29,063
Talk to me about school.
182
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:32,108
What am I missing?
How's the speakeasy coming?
183
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:33,859
It's coming.

What's it like, being president in my place?
185
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:42,493
Hi, I'm checking in on the status of a friend of mine, Ben Button.
186
00:11:44,912 --> 00:11:47,289 Oh. Wait, he's out of the ICU?
187
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:48,916
That's great.
188
00:11:48,999 --> 00:11:51,252
Uh, what time are your visiting hours?
189
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:54,004
Uh, thank you.

00:11:56,173 --> 00:11:57,133
[Betty sighs]
191
00:11:57,758 --> 00:11:58,592
Hi.
192
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:01,053
I'm Evelyn. And you're Betty Cooper?
193
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:02,847
I'm sorry. Do I know you?
194
00:12:03,305 --> 00:12:06,100 Not exactly. We almost met, through your mom and sister.
195
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:10,396
-They're studying with my dad.
-Edgar Evernever.
196

00:12:10,479 --> 00:12:11,647
Yeah. That's right.
197
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:14,316 Anyway, I go to school here now.
I wanted to say hi,
198
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,945 let you know I won't tell anyone about what happened the other night.
199
00:12:18,529 --> 00:12:21,031
-What are you talking about?
-Your seizure, of course.
200
00:12:22,867 --> 00:12:24,869
Wait, sorry, you--? You were there?
201
00:12:24,952 --> 00:12:28,622
Your mom invited us over for a cookout, and to burn a few of her things.
202
00:12:29,498 --> 00:12:30,499
How are you feeling?
203
00:12:32,293 --> 00:12:33,502
Uh... [chuckles]
204
00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:35,171
Um...
205
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:39,258
Uh, you know what, Evelyn? I have to go.
206
00:12:39,341 --> 00:12:42,386
I have to visit a friend in the hospital.
207
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:43,304
So...
208
00:12:43,387 --> 00:12:45,473
Yeah, no worries. I totally understand.

00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:54,815
-Dude, what are you doing?
-What we've done all summer.
210
00:12:54,899 --> 00:12:57,109
I thought we'd sneak off to the boiler room--
211
00:12:57,193 --> 00:12:58,611 My dad is right over there.
212
00:13:01,655 --> 00:13:02,490
Why?
213
00:13:03,574 --> 00:13:05,326 He's the new RROTC instructor.
214
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:06,786
He's making me sign up.
215
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:10,080
If he's around school, we have to take it easy.
216
00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:11,707
Hey, Cadet Mason.
217
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:14,293
On time is late. Let's go. Room 302.
218
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:21,133
Talk to you later.
219
00:13:23,886 --> 00:13:25,221

Veronica.
222
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,947 That's right, you work here now.
223
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:45,032
Cherry phosphate and curly fries. Girls?
224
00:13:45,115 --> 00:13:47,368
I don't work at Pop's, Cheryl. I own it.
225
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:49,870
And as of this moment, you're no longer welcome.
226
00:13:50,746 --> 00:13:53,374
You can't discriminate against someone
'cause they're better-looking.
227
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:56,877
Cheryl, you're acting like trash, and I don't wanna get a citation.
228
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:58,337
