00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,377
[narrator] Previously on Riverdale:

2
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:05,964
[Black Hood] This is the Black Hood.
I want to cleanse Riverdale of sinners.

3
00:00:06,047 --> 00:00:07,716
I can't keep doing this.

4
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:12,554
I need you to cut your friends
out of your life, or I will, my way.

5
00:00:12,637 --> 00:00:16,266
They'll consider reopening
the Red and the Black on two conditions:

6
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:21,062
One, no gangs. Two, no jingle-jangle.
See you trafficking in either, we're done.

7
00:00:21,146 --> 00:00:24,983
Hang with the Serpents.
Ghoulies get a whiff that you're alone...

8
00:00:25,066 --> 00:00:26,693
[Jughead grunting]

9
00:00:26,818 --> 00:00:30,655
Tall Boy gave me this jacket.
It's time I start wearing it.

10
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,075
-Is that--?
-Jingle-jangle.

11
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:37,829
Nick, I mean it. Stop!

12
00:00:37,912 --> 00:00:40,540
We didn't get a chance to talk last night.

13
00:00:42,167 --> 00:00:45,837
I want Nick to pay, to suffer,
to burn in hell.

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,465
-[Black Hood] Give me another name.
-Nick St. Clair.

15
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:54,804
[Jughead] In Riverdale, everyone
wears a mask, not just the Black Hood.

16
00:00:56,181 --> 00:00:59,142
But every so often the mask slips

17
00:00:59,225 --> 00:01:02,812
and our true selves are laid bare
for all the world to see.

18
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:04,773
Morning.

19
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:06,649
You, uh...?

20
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:07,776
You hungry?

21
00:01:08,443 --> 00:01:10,445
You never have to ask me that.

22
00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:12,113
Cool.

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,037
[Jughead] So, we scramble
to put it back on,

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,540
like a kid in a cheap Halloween costume,
but it's too late.

25
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:25,251
People have already seen
what's underneath...

26
00:01:27,212 --> 00:01:28,463
and it's terrifying.

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,636
Oh, my God.

28
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,525
What? Here to finish
what your little friend started?

29
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:50,151
You're alive.

30
00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:55,532
Yeah. Tell that bitch Veronica
she's lucky I'm not pressing charges.

31
00:01:55,615 --> 00:01:57,992
[St. Clair] Nicholas,
why aren't you dressed yet?

32
00:01:58,076 --> 00:01:59,285
And who's this?

33
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:02,455
You're not safe here, okay? Any of you.

34
00:02:03,248 --> 00:02:04,290
You need to go--

35
00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:08,086
-Nicholas St. Clair?
-He is, and I'm his father.

36
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:11,548
-Is there a problem?
-[Keller] There's a complaint against him.

37
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:15,260
He'll have to come to the station.
You and your wife, as well.

38
00:02:15,343 --> 00:02:17,303
You might wanna get dressed, son.

39
00:02:21,891 --> 00:02:23,893
Should I ask what you're doing here?

40
00:02:24,727 --> 00:02:29,274
I'm... making sure
Nick got what was coming to him.

41
00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:31,276
Go home, Betty.

42
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:37,365
[cell phone rings]

43
00:02:43,288 --> 00:02:44,539
You didn't kill him.

44
00:02:44,956 --> 00:02:47,167
[Black Hood]
Nick isn't one of Riverdale's sons.

45
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:50,086
You've already given me
the most wonderful gift.

46
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:51,754
You said Nick's name.

47
00:02:51,838 --> 00:02:55,466
In that moment of nakedness,
you let me see the real Betty.

48
00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:57,969
And she was beautiful and righteous.

49
00:02:58,052 --> 00:03:00,597
Judge, jury, executioner...

50
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,933
No. No, that's not-- I'm-- That's--

51
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:08,813
Now that I've seen your true self, Betty,
the real work can begin.

52
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:10,148
What do you mean--?

53
00:03:10,231 --> 00:03:11,524
[line beeps]

54
00:03:16,779 --> 00:03:17,614
[cell phone chimes]

55
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:26,164
[Hermione] Penelope, thank you for coming.

56
00:03:27,206 --> 00:03:29,292
We called as soon as Cheryl told us.

57
00:03:30,251 --> 00:03:31,461
I appreciate that.

58
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:36,090
I just wish you'd stopped her
from talking to Sheriff Keller.

59
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:40,303
Lord knows what Cheryl did or said
to the St. Clair boy to provoke him.

60
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:42,597
According to Veronica, nothing.

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,352
Hermione, Hiram,
I want this handled discreetly.

62
00:03:50,146 --> 00:03:53,274
Well, I'm confident
that the St. Clairs feel the same way.

63
00:03:53,358 --> 00:03:54,817
[Penelope] Then it's settled.

64
00:03:54,901 --> 00:03:59,197
I'll talk to that idiot Keller
and tell him we won't be pressing charges.

65
00:03:59,822 --> 00:04:00,740
After all...

66
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:04,285
nothing really happened to Cheryl.

67
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:11,668
Cheryl, I'm... so sorry.

68
00:04:12,251 --> 00:04:14,587
Don't be silly. I'm used to it.

69
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:18,800
And besides, you heard what Mommy said.
Nothing really happened to me.

70
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,177
-Nick roofied you. He--
-I'm fine.

71
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:23,012
Veronica, everything's fine.

72
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:24,597
If everything is fine,

73
00:04:24,681 --> 00:04:27,308
why did we just call Sheriff Keller
and make a statement?

74
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:30,561
Momentary lapse in sanity.
I mean, can you even imagine?

75
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:33,523
Me against Nick St. Clair
in a courtroom battle royale?

76
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:35,858
-I'd be a laughingstock.
-Cheryl, wait.

77
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:40,905
It's not just you.
He's done it to other girls.

78
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:43,491
I mean, hell,
he even tried to do it to me.

79
00:04:43,908 --> 00:04:45,952
The night before the open house.

80
00:04:46,911 --> 00:04:48,162
Did you tell your parents?

81
00:04:50,873 --> 00:04:54,294
Yet you were happy to fill them in
on my after-dark drama?

82
00:04:54,711 --> 00:04:57,046
I won't be a puppet
for your thirst for vengeance.

83
00:04:57,130 --> 00:05:00,425
You want justice?
You go after Nick in court, Veronica.

84
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:07,432
[Toni] Thanks for letting me sleep over.

85
00:05:08,349 --> 00:05:11,686
Now on to the next crash pad
until my uncle stops locking me out.

86
00:05:11,769 --> 00:05:13,438
[Jughead] My trailer is your trailer.

87
00:05:14,647 --> 00:05:17,275
-Last night was...
-A PG-13 grope session?

88
00:05:17,775 --> 00:05:18,609
Oof.

89
00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:20,653
Way to knock a guy down a peg.

90
00:05:20,737 --> 00:05:23,031
Look, cards on the table...

91
00:05:23,865 --> 00:05:25,491
you're not over Betty.

92
00:05:25,575 --> 00:05:28,619
And I'm not interested
in being anybody's rebound.

93
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,121
Besides...

94
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:33,583
I'm more into girls anyways.

95
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:37,754
Roger that.

96
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:42,216
[Betty] I needed to clear my head,
and I did.

97
00:05:42,592 --> 00:05:46,804
And I realized
that this is just a sick game to him.

98
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:48,389
Psychological torture.

99
00:05:50,099 --> 00:05:50,975
So...

100
00:05:52,393 --> 00:05:56,689
I'm done with the Black Hood,
with his letters, with his Simon Says.

101
00:05:57,148 --> 00:06:00,109
-What happens when he calls again?
-I won't answer.

102
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:04,864
I can't... keep playing, I can't.

103
00:06:04,947 --> 00:06:07,742
-Didn't he threaten Polly?
-He did. I talked to her.

104
00:06:07,825 --> 00:06:11,412
People at the farm are gonna
help her disappear until it's safe.

105
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:13,873
Whenever that is. Jughead and Veronica?

106
00:06:13,956 --> 00:06:18,211
-We have to tell them the truth.
-We will. Let's let things settle first.

107
00:06:18,294 --> 00:06:19,796
Make sure it's all over--

108
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:27,512
[cell phones ringing]

109
00:06:31,015 --> 00:06:31,891
-Mom?
-Dad?

110
00:06:33,142 --> 00:06:35,895
[Alice] Riverdale's best
and brightest, huh?

111
00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:39,690
-Alice, thank you for hosting.
-Of course, Mayor McCoy.

112
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:43,319
When I heard what happened,
I decided we should come together

113
00:06:43,402 --> 00:06:48,032
to deal with this motley crew
of liars, dope fiends, and fornicators.

114
00:06:48,533 --> 00:06:50,743
Except for Betty,
who was smart enough to leave

115
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:52,829
before it was a bacchanalian free-for-all.

116
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:55,748
-Oh, my God. Mom, please don't.
-Great. Here we go.

117
00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:59,001
-Saint Betty and Succubus Veronica.
-[Fred] Just for clarity, Alice,

118
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:02,713
-you're hosting this to gloat?
-I may have taken jingle-jangle,

119
00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:06,300
-but she had a psychotic break.
-Cut her some slack, Veronica.

120
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,970
-She broke up with Jughead.
-Hashtag "Bughead is no more"?

121
00:07:09,053 --> 00:07:10,304
-Betty didn't tell me?
-Ahem.

122
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:13,933
Careful throwing stones there,
acid-queen Alice.

123
00:07:14,016 --> 00:07:17,395
I'm not the only one that knows the story
behind that mug shot

124
00:07:17,478 --> 00:07:19,605
your daughter printed in her paper.

125
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:23,985
I, for one, would like to know who brought
the jingle-jangle to the party.

126
00:07:28,072 --> 00:07:31,784
Reginald, not a single word out
of your mouth until we get a lawyer.

127
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:35,371
All Reggie needs to tell us, Melinda,
is how he acquired it.

128
00:07:35,913 --> 00:07:39,333
-Gang member who deals on the Southside.
-You have a dealer?

129
00:07:39,417 --> 00:07:42,670
Once again, mayor, the Southside
is the source of all our problems.

130
00:07:42,753 --> 00:07:44,964
Is he a Serpent?
Does he go to Southside High?

131
00:07:45,047 --> 00:07:46,674
-I think so.
-[Archie] Does it matter?

132
00:07:46,757 --> 00:07:49,218
-Not all Serpents are dealers.
-Archie, not helping.

133
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:51,304
We shouldn't have taken the JJ,

134
00:07:51,387 --> 00:07:54,265
but Nick asked Reggie to get it
and then pushed it on us.

135
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:57,977
He should be in the hot seat.
He's the one who roofied Cheryl--

136
00:07:58,060 --> 00:08:02,190
Prosecuting him would be difficult,
given that all witnesses were high.

137
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:04,775
Josie and I saw Nick with Cheryl
the night after the party.

138
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:06,277
Neither of us were on jingle-jangle.

139
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,488
[Keller] The drug stays in your system
for three days.

140
00:08:08,571 --> 00:08:11,782
If I drug-tested you right now,
you'd have a credibility problem.

141
00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:13,451
Josie, you took that drug?

142
00:08:14,368 --> 00:08:16,537
You put that poison in your system

143
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:19,457
knowing the way your father
struggled with addiction?

144
00:08:21,709 --> 00:08:22,543
I see.

145
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:25,505
From this moment on,

146
00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:29,050
bringing the Southside under control
is my number one priority.

147
00:08:29,133 --> 00:08:31,093
If it means razing it to the ground

148
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:34,138
or arresting every single Serpent
in sight,

149
00:08:34,222 --> 00:08:36,974
starting at that high school, so be it.

150
00:08:38,476 --> 00:08:39,852
Let's go, Josephine.

151
00:08:41,437 --> 00:08:42,521
Now.

152
00:08:48,778 --> 00:08:52,865
"People have associated this school
with the plagues of the Southside,

153
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:54,700
drugs, gangs, violence.

154
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:58,579
But, like the Southside,
there is a community here.

155
00:08:58,955 --> 00:09:02,250
And while the decay is real,
it is not irreversible."

156
00:09:05,044 --> 00:09:07,004
I'm impressed, Jughead.

157
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:11,425
Where did you find the time to put out
an issue of the Red and Black

158
00:09:11,509 --> 00:09:13,844
while pledging the Southside Serpents?

159
00:09:16,347 --> 00:09:17,181
I'm not blind.

160
00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:19,475
We had a deal.

161
00:09:20,851 --> 00:09:25,314
The Serpents,
they truly are a community, Mr. Phillips.

162
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:28,150
-A community of drug dealers.
-That's not the Serpents.

163
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:30,444
That's the Ghoulies.
That's my next article.

164
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:33,322
-Jughead, when you said you wanted to--
-[cell phone chimes]

165
00:09:34,198 --> 00:09:38,369
Uh, will you excuse me? Just two seconds.
I'm sorry, Mr. Phillips.

166
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:43,165
Jug! Jug.

167
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:46,502
-We gotta go, right now.

Okay. So, what's the problem?

If the Sugarman exists
and I find out who he is,

I can't just give up his name.

God, who knows how long Tall Boy
has been planning on betraying us.

333
00:19:28,625 --> 00:19:31,336
Maybe I stall,
just until Sweet Pea and Toni get out.

334
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:34,548
I just hope they'd rather go to war
with the Ghoulies than start...

335
00:19:34,631 --> 00:19:36,383
-Jughead.
-...dealing jingle-jangle.

336
00:19:36,466 --> 00:19:38,427
You joined the Serpents to keep the peace.

337
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:42,055
My dad would never sit back
and let this happen, so, neither will I.

338
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:48,145
-So, unless you have any better ideas...
-Not me. But, dude, what you just said...

339
00:19:52,107 --> 00:19:54,026
[FP] Start from the beginning, boys.

340
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:03,118
[Jughead] Hey, you can reprimand me
for joining the Serpents later,

341
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,953
but if we don't do something now...

342
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:10,792
there will be no more Serpents.
It'll just be the Ghoulies.

343
00:20:12,753 --> 00:20:15,756
Ghoulies dress like fops,
but they're a nasty crew.

344
00:20:16,965 --> 00:20:19,384
The Serpents have survived worse, though.

345
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:23,847
Much worse. The only hitch is,
it sounds like you're outmanned,

346
00:20:23,931 --> 00:20:27,309
which means you gotta avoid bloodshed
at all costs.

347
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:30,187
-I agree. A hundred percent.
-[FP] So, outthink them.

348
00:20:30,270 --> 00:20:31,688
This is about territory.

349
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:33,398
If there's one thing Ghoulies love,

350
00:20:33,482 --> 00:20:36,485
it's their crazy souped-up retro cars
and hearses.

351
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,654
You catch my Riverdale drift, boys?

352
00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:47,621
Challenge them to a street race,
one-on-one.

353
00:20:47,704 --> 00:20:51,625
But keep it on the DL.
It's illegal. It'll get you locked up.

354
00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:54,127
-Go on.
-[FP] Set the terms of the race.

355
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:57,130
Their guy wins, the Serpents roll over.

356
00:20:57,214 --> 00:21:00,926
But if we win, the Ghoulies back off.

357
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:06,014
And maybe you raise the stakes.
Whoever wins controls Southside High.

358
00:21:06,598 --> 00:21:09,518
We get rid of the Ghoulies
and get rid of the jingle-jangle

359
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,395
and get McCoy off our back.

360
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:21,238
[Cheryl] That's me, that's Jason,
and that's the Sugarman.

361
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:25,075
Remember? You'd tell us tales
of how he was friends with Daddy?

362
00:21:25,158 --> 00:21:28,537
We were to stay up in our rooms
whenever he visited Thornhill?

363
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:32,749
Was he one of Daddy's business associates?

364
00:21:33,834 --> 00:21:37,796
Not maple syrup,
but the other kind of business?

365
00:21:40,048 --> 00:21:43,260
After all you kept from me about Daddy,
about Jason's death,

366
00:21:43,343 --> 00:21:45,804
is this another piece
of your cryptic puzzle?

367
00:21:45,887 --> 00:21:48,849
As usual, Cheryl, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

368
00:21:48,932 --> 00:21:51,727
I never told you any such stories.

369
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:53,729
As for your father's business dealings,

370
00:21:53,812 --> 00:21:57,941
you know full well that all his records
were either seized by the police

371
00:21:58,025 --> 00:22:00,777
or burned in the fire you started.

372
00:22:05,115 --> 00:22:06,158
[Kevin groans]

373
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:12,122
-Pickens Park? More like Needle Park.
-I wouldn't even go cruising here.

374
00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:17,085
Hey, uh, feel free to, you know, pitch in.

375
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:23,216
I get you're pretty much Beyoncé,
but today, you're just like us commoners.

376
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:25,844
I think your biceps can handle it, Mantle.

377
00:22:26,386 --> 00:22:28,346
-You trying to get me to flex?
-[Veronica] Josie.

378
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:31,224
You mind if I borrow Reggie
for a New York minute?

379
00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:32,934
Please. Take him.

380
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:36,063
Love watching me walk away, huh?

381
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:39,399
What do you want, Veronica?

382
00:22:39,483 --> 00:22:41,735
We were kind of
in the middle of something.

383
00:22:42,277 --> 00:22:44,446
I want the name
of your jingle-jangle contact,

384
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:46,364
and I won't take no for an answer.

385
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:50,619
Betty, you have to talk to Jughead.

386
00:22:50,702 --> 00:22:52,829
Soon, I promise.

387
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,249
I just need to take care of a few things.

388
00:23:08,303 --> 00:23:11,973
I'll go out on a limb
and guess you're Verne. You got my stuff?

389
00:23:13,809 --> 00:23:16,686
-I don't take American Express.
-Will this do?

390
00:23:17,896 --> 00:23:19,731
My girl and I
need a reason to live tonight.

391
00:23:19,815 --> 00:23:22,317
She broke up with her beau.
Full spiral. Tragic.

392
00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:23,777
One fifty.

393
00:23:25,070 --> 00:23:27,739
I know you're overcharging me,
but I'm desperate.

394
00:23:29,407 --> 00:23:31,243
My compliments to the Sugarman.

395
00:23:33,453 --> 00:23:37,833
Did I get it wrong? Isn't that the name
of the genius behind these sweet treats?

396
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:39,251
Have you ever met him?

397
00:23:41,128 --> 00:23:42,963
What about my change, asshat?

398
00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:49,344
Our Drugstore Cowboy
should be passing you

399
00:23:49,427 --> 00:23:52,681
in three... two... one.

400
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:54,349
I've got eyes on him.

401
00:23:55,934 --> 00:23:57,936
[rock music playing]

402
00:23:58,019 --> 00:23:59,020
[Jughead] Me and my boy...

403
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:01,982
wanna challenge you to a race.

404
00:24:03,650 --> 00:24:04,651
If we win...

405
00:24:05,902 --> 00:24:07,696
Serpents remain autonomous...

406
00:24:08,196 --> 00:24:10,532
and you quit dealing at Southside High.

407
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:13,493
[sniffs] And if we win?

408
00:24:14,244 --> 00:24:15,162
We fold...

409
00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:19,708
and you can continue polluting Southside
with your little straws of death.

410
00:24:19,791 --> 00:24:24,212
So, the mighty Serpent Prince
has some stones, but not much else.

411
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:27,632
So, unless Your Highness wants to put some
of Daddy's territory on the table,

412
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:29,426
I got no reason to agree to a race.

413
00:24:29,509 --> 00:24:30,760
[door slams]

414
00:24:30,844 --> 00:24:33,930
They were following me.
Tried to get in the garage.

415
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:35,599
-Archie?
-Jughead?

416
00:24:36,183 --> 00:24:37,893
[all] What are you doing here?

417
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:42,397
-Wait. So, these are your bitches?
-I beg your misogynistic pardon?

418
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,650
Why don't you take your skanks
and get the hell out of here?

419
00:24:45,734 --> 00:24:48,862
Until you make me a better offer,
there'll be no race.

420
00:24:48,945 --> 00:24:52,949
If you win...
we'll give you the Whyte Wyrm.

421
00:24:54,242 --> 00:24:58,955
You can expand your drug-dealing horizons
and upgrade out of this literal hellhole.

422
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:02,626
We'll take the Wyrm
and Sunnyside Trailer Park.

423
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:16,681
[Nick] Two turkey burgers
and a Cobb salad. To go.

424
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:20,352
Sharon.

425
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,103
Cheryl.

426
00:25:24,606 --> 00:25:26,566
What are you still doing in town, Nick?

427
00:25:26,650 --> 00:25:28,818
Picking up some fuel
for the trip home.

428
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:30,487
How are you?

429
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:32,113
How am I?

430
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:36,076
How am I?

431
00:25:36,952 --> 00:25:37,827
You roofied me.

432
00:25:38,745 --> 00:25:42,332
-You tried to rape me.
-I don't think that's what happened.

433
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:45,627
You're a Less Than Zero monster.

434
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:48,672
At least I'm not a desperate tart
from a truck-stop town, hon.

435
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:52,175
Let's not distort reality
to cover your morning-after shame.

436
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:55,262
You were high, half-naked
and begging for it.

437
00:25:56,888 --> 00:25:57,931
Call your lawyer.

438
00:25:59,099 --> 00:26:01,434
Seeing as you're
such an unrepentant spore,

439
00:26:01,518 --> 00:26:03,812
I think I'll be pressing charges
after all.

440
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:07,607
Sweetie, did no one tell you
about the arrangement my parents made

441
00:26:07,691 --> 00:26:09,359
with your cobra-like mother?

442
00:26:10,151 --> 00:26:13,113
You're not gonna be saying anything
about that night to anyone.

443
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:17,325
After all, there's a reason
it's called hush money.

444
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:22,455
For the lady's meal, as well.

445
00:26:26,334 --> 00:26:30,171
[Betty] God bless Reggie Mantle
and his inferiority complex.

446
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:34,801
His car's a lot like him.
It's beautiful to look at...

447
00:26:34,884 --> 00:26:37,137
but not much going on under the hood.

448
00:26:38,972 --> 00:26:41,099
Um, crescent wrench, please.

449
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:45,353
Thank you.

450
00:26:51,401 --> 00:26:55,363
So, this is what Serpents do for fun, huh?
Street-race rival gangs?

451
00:26:55,447 --> 00:26:57,365
[Jughead] Just go ahead and say it, Betty.

452
00:27:02,871 --> 00:27:05,165
You said you weren't gonna join them, Jug.

453
00:27:05,248 --> 00:27:08,918
And you said you loved me,
and then you dumped me via Archie.

454
00:27:10,086 --> 00:27:13,923
Which, by the way,
way worse than via text.

455
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:16,176
[sighs]

456
00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:18,928
I'm sorry, Jughead.

457
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:23,808
It won't make any sense...

458
00:27:25,143 --> 00:27:29,606
but everything around us was imploding,
and I did it to protect you.

459
00:27:31,900 --> 00:27:35,362
Betty, you did the one thing
that could actually hurt me.

460
00:27:35,445 --> 00:27:39,199
I will explain everything to you, Jug,
I will.

461
00:27:41,117 --> 00:27:44,245
But right now, I just wanna get you
through this race.

462
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:54,381
[Cheryl] I had the most fascinating chat
with Nick today.

463
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:57,759
Then I went rummaging around your bedroom
until I found this.

464
00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:02,847
Before you start casting stones,
you should kn--

465
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:07,435
The Lodges are still accepting money
from the St. Clairs

466
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:11,523
-for their precious SoDale construction.
-I don't care about them.

467
00:28:11,606 --> 00:28:13,483
I care about my mother.

468
00:28:15,985 --> 00:28:19,989
You defend Daddy
even after he murdered your son...

469
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:24,327
but you won't stand up for me.

470
00:28:25,245 --> 00:28:27,831
Not even against my would-be rapist.

471
00:28:27,914 --> 00:28:29,999
Oh, don't be absurd, Cheryl.

472
00:28:30,792 --> 00:28:32,335
And give me that check.

473
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:38,383
Not until you tell me the truth
about the Sugarman.

474
00:28:38,466 --> 00:28:40,093
He exists, Mother.

475
00:28:40,176 --> 00:28:41,553
We both know it.

476
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:43,263
He worked with Daddy.

477
00:28:43,805 --> 00:28:45,014
Your father--

478
00:28:45,098 --> 00:28:48,435
Was an awful human being,
and thank God he's dead.

479
00:28:48,518 --> 00:28:51,521
But I'm alive, and I'm begging you...

480
00:28:52,814 --> 00:28:55,942
for once in your life, be honest with me.

481
00:28:57,277 --> 00:28:58,987
Care about me more.

482
00:29:07,287 --> 00:29:08,246
It's simple.

483
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:12,292
The St. Clairs bought your silence.

484
00:29:12,417 --> 00:29:16,004
But you're not getting paid
until I hear the truth.

485
00:29:22,969 --> 00:29:24,387
What can I say...

486
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:27,390
or do...

487
00:29:28,808 --> 00:29:30,727
to get you to stay here with me?

488
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,815
Instead of going to that dangerous...

489
00:29:36,357 --> 00:29:39,819
dumb, possibly deadly street race?

490
00:29:41,112 --> 00:29:43,198
Don't worry, Ronnie, I have a plan.

491
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:49,370
Like the plan you and Betty had
when you snuck into Ghoulie headquarters.

492
00:29:50,413 --> 00:29:51,664
[Veronica chuckles]

493
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:57,378
-Touché.
-One that hopefully keeps everyone alive.

494
00:29:57,462 --> 00:29:59,464
[cell phone buzzing]

495
00:30:02,258 --> 00:30:03,176
Cheryl?

496
00:30:05,053 --> 00:30:06,095
What? Slow down.

497
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:10,141
They what?

498

Are you still doing business
with the St. Clairs?

after what Nick did?

00:30:20,235 --> 00:30:23,238
-To be fair, Cheryl's accusations--
-Cheryl's telling the truth.

501
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,366
I know, because Nick tried to do it to me.

502
00:30:29,869 --> 00:30:32,288
Nick St. Clair... hurt you?

503
00:30:32,372 --> 00:30:33,581
Tried to.

504
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:37,627
But I stopped him before he got too far.
The next night, he went after Cheryl.

505
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:41,589
-Veronica, why didn't you say something?
-I didn't have any proof.

506
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:44,425
And Nick has done it before,
I'm sure of it.

507
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:48,388
Veronica, as God is my witness,
I swear to you, I will--

508
00:30:48,471 --> 00:30:52,308
Under no circumstances
will we take a penny from that family.

509
00:30:53,643 --> 00:30:56,896

[all] All right!

511
00:30:58,523 --> 00:31:01,693
Not the kind of drag race
I ever imagined myself going to,

512
00:31:01,776 --> 00:31:03,570
but at least the guys are hot.

[Archie] Don't worry, Ronnie, we got this.

515
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:10,368
Just make it back to me.

516
00:31:10,451 --> 00:31:12,996
Preferably in one piece, Archiekins.

517
00:31:18,001 --> 00:31:21,045
[Betty] Before you get in the car,
I need you to know...

518
00:31:24,424 --> 00:31:26,593
I never stopped loving you, Jug.

519
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:29,679
I'm not sure I can.

520
00:31:30,763 --> 00:31:35,685
Also remember, don't ride the clutch,
and don't let it slip between gear shifts.

521
00:31:37,353 --> 00:31:38,730
You're an enigma, Cooper.

522
00:31:38,813 --> 00:31:41,107

525

to Dead Man's Curve.

526

First one back here wins.

-Uh, I usually do the honors.
-Not today, Cha-Cha.

528
00:32:03,713 --> 00:32:05,340

-Jug, we're coming up to the bridge.
-I know. I got this.

537
00:33:17,286 --> 00:33:19,706
It's too narrow for both of us, Jughead.

538
00:33:25,545 --> 00:33:27,004
Jug, we should abort.

539
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:29,382
-And let them win?
-We will both crash on that bridge.

540
00:33:29,465 --> 00:33:32,593

Come on, Jug, we gotta go. Come on.

-We gotta get out of here.

551
00:34:26,272 --> 00:34:28,858
-Come on, we gotta go. Right now.
-[Tall Boy] You called the cops?

552
00:34:29,942 --> 00:34:32,320
You won't throw in with the Ghoulies,
but you will with cops?

553
00:34:32,403 --> 00:34:35,281
-Where's the honor in that?
-Calm down, Tall Boy.

554
00:34:35,364 --> 00:34:38,242
-You think I knew Keller would be there?
-I called Keller.

555

What the hell, Archie?

556
00:34:40,203 --> 00:34:41,871
Did my dad tell you about this, too?

557
00:34:41,954 --> 00:34:44,999
No, this was my idea
to get rid of the Ghoulies. It worked.

You said I never protected you.

564
00:35:17,365 --> 00:35:18,699
The Sugarman...

565
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:21,911
was a story I concocted...

566
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:26,290
to turn an all-too-real monster

567
00:35:26,374 --> 00:35:28,334
into a child's bogeyman.

568
00:35:28,876 --> 00:35:30,419
And it worked, for a while.

569
00:35:31,337 --> 00:35:32,839
But now I need the truth.

570
00:35:37,051 --> 00:35:39,554
Over the years,
there were many Sugarmen...

571
00:35:41,055 --> 00:35:43,015
each taking over for the last.

572
00:35:46,561 --> 00:35:48,187
When Clifford decided

573
00:35:48,271 --> 00:35:51,482
to groom your brother
to take over the family business...

574
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,987
he wanted him
to meet the current Sugarman.

575
00:35:59,115 --> 00:36:02,243
I protested, but your father insisted...

576
00:36:03,494 --> 00:36:04,829
and God help me...

577
00:36:06,664 --> 00:36:11,377
so began the terrible series of events
that led to Jason's death.

579

It's Cheryl.

Hey.

585
00:37:06,724 --> 00:37:07,558
You did?

586
00:37:09,685 --> 00:37:10,603
Who is he?

587
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:15,066
Wait, are you positive?

588
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:20,071
Betty?

589
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:24,909
Cheryl just told me the Sugarman's name.

590
00:37:25,910 --> 00:37:28,579
Oh, my God, Cherry Bombshell for the win.

What do I do, Veronica?

593
00:37:36,671 --> 00:37:40,341
If I give the Black Hood his name,
may God have mercy on the Sugarman.

594
00:37:40,424 --> 00:37:41,425
And if I don't...

[Black Hood] Yes, Betty.
Have you found him for me?

599
00:38:02,488 --> 00:38:03,322
I did.

600
00:38:03,781 --> 00:38:06,492
Good girl. Now tell me his name.

601
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:10,371
I could.

602
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:14,667
But that wouldn't do you any good now.

603
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,421
I've already notified
the sheriff's office.

604
00:38:19,755 --> 00:38:24,176
You'll have to read his name in the exposé
I just published in the Blue and Gold.

Care to comment?

606

I told you what would happen.

607
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:36,689
The Sugarman needed to be brought
to justice, not execution.

608
00:38:36,772 --> 00:38:39,525
He will be dealt with in the right way.

609

Which is what, Betty?

A game that ends with me catching you.

I found out who the Sugarman was.
