1
00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:04,003
-[narrator] Previously on Riverdale:
-I just have to ask.

2
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:06,256
When you were pretending to be with Betty,

3
00:00:06,339 --> 00:00:08,633
you didn't feel anything, did you?

4
00:00:08,717 --> 00:00:10,635
[Archie]
I can't stop thinking about you, Betty.

5
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:12,762
I've tried, but it's impossible.

6
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:16,141
I wanted to share something.
A song I wrote for you.

7
00:00:16,224 --> 00:00:19,686
Stop. Whatever this is, it's just over.

8
00:00:20,729 --> 00:00:23,732
Hey, Mom? I'm ready to get serious
about the Naval Academy.

9
00:00:23,815 --> 00:00:25,525
[Veronica] He's dying, Archie.

10
00:00:25,608 --> 00:00:27,527
And I don't know what to do.

11
00:00:29,070 --> 00:00:29,904
[Betty] What is this?

12
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:32,949
[Jughead] Footage of our houses
being watched from across the street.

13
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:35,785
For hours upon hours.

14
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:38,705
-[FP] Maybe it's a prank.
-[Jughead] This is an escalation.

15
00:00:38,788 --> 00:00:39,956
It's a warning.

16
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,168
Or a promise of violence to come.

17
00:00:43,251 --> 00:00:44,669
This was on our doorstep.

18
00:00:44,753 --> 00:00:47,297
-Maybe it's a copycat?
-[Jughead] I've seen this place before.

19
00:00:48,757 --> 00:00:49,758
[Jughead] Oh, my God.

20
00:00:49,841 --> 00:00:51,801
Are they stabbing Mr. Honey?

21
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:03,688
Hey, did you reach out to Mr. Honey?

22
00:01:03,772 --> 00:01:06,066
We did. He's fine.
No one's tried to kill him.

23
00:01:06,149 --> 00:01:08,693
-Well, for now at least.
-In the meantime,

24
00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:12,530
-mind breaking this down for me?
-It's the auteur again.

25
00:01:12,614 --> 00:01:17,118
They've moved on from recreating a killing
to reenacting a metaphoric murder.

26
00:01:17,202 --> 00:01:19,662
Us and friends getting Mr. Honey fired.

27
00:01:19,746 --> 00:01:21,122
And there is one other thing:

28
00:01:21,206 --> 00:01:23,416
I wrote a story
called "Killing Mr. Honey,"

29
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,419
within which was a fictionalized version
of this cabin.

30
00:01:26,503 --> 00:01:29,047
-I don't think that's a coincidence.
-All right. Uh...

31
00:01:29,839 --> 00:01:31,674
Who else knew about that story?

32
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,927
-Just us. Me and Betty.
-Yeah.

33
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:35,595
Unless I'm being watched or hacked.

34
00:01:36,346 --> 00:01:37,764
This is interesting.

35
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:42,143
-[Charles] It's four ticket stubs.
-[Betty] For, like, the movie theater?

36
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:44,062
Admission to watch the tapes?

37
00:01:44,145 --> 00:01:46,481
Stubs have the letters B and V on them.

38
00:01:47,690 --> 00:01:51,069
-What the hell? Like Betty and Veronica?
-No. Blue Velvet.

39
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:52,821
Like Blue Velvet Video.

40
00:01:52,904 --> 00:01:55,782
The place that all roads
keep coming back to.

41
00:01:55,865 --> 00:01:58,743
That video store
and that crypt keeper, David.

42
00:01:58,827 --> 00:02:01,704
If he's not the auteur,
he's connected somehow.

43
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,581
-Or at least a fan.
-We'll bring him in.

44
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:06,960
I'll call you in the morning.
Get some rest.

45
00:02:07,836 --> 00:02:08,670
Okay. Good night.

46
00:02:14,884 --> 00:02:15,885
[door opens]

47
00:02:16,427 --> 00:02:17,887
Early morning run, Archiekins?

48
00:02:17,971 --> 00:02:20,014
Physical for the Naval Academy this week.

49
00:02:20,098 --> 00:02:22,433
I find it hard to believe
they wouldn't be impressed

50
00:02:22,517 --> 00:02:24,185
by my teenage Thor.

51
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:26,479
You could always serve
your country in the USO.

52
00:02:26,563 --> 00:02:29,190
-What are you talking about?
-Oh, nothing.

53
00:02:31,442 --> 00:02:33,236
Just this new song you've written.

54
00:02:34,737 --> 00:02:36,322
-Oh.
-Mm-hm.

55
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:40,201
That is... nothing.
Just something I'm kicking around.

56
00:02:41,369 --> 00:02:42,495
Play it for me?

57
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:46,207
No. Ronnie. I stink.

58
00:02:46,291 --> 00:02:48,209
And so does this song. Trust me.

59
00:02:49,460 --> 00:02:53,172
Okay. I do like the idea
of you getting back into music though.

60
00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:56,676
Right now my focus is on impressing
the commandant.

61
00:02:56,759 --> 00:03:00,138
And you will. Because I'll be there
to make sure of it.

62
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:03,933
[cell phone buzzes]

63
00:03:06,185 --> 00:03:08,688
It's Daddy.
He wants me home for breakfast.

64
00:03:08,771 --> 00:03:09,814
That's too bad.

65
00:03:12,191 --> 00:03:14,903
I was gonna ask you if you wanted
to join me in the shower.

66
00:03:34,255 --> 00:03:37,133
Hey. There you are. Come, sit. Join us.

67
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:39,010
I have news.

68
00:03:39,093 --> 00:03:41,763
Please don't tell me
you and Mom are chaperoning prom.

69
00:03:41,846 --> 00:03:43,139
We are. But no.

70
00:03:43,222 --> 00:03:47,727
My news is, according to my doctor,
my core strength is building back up.

71
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:51,981
In fact, my grip is almost as strong
as it was pre-diagnosis.

72
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:54,275
-What are you saying?
-I'm beating it.

73
00:03:55,318 --> 00:03:58,279
-I'm beating this damn disease.
-That's incredible.

74
00:03:58,363 --> 00:04:00,949
It is, assuming it's true.

75
00:04:02,158 --> 00:04:04,077
Forgive me if I call your doctor

76
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,621
to confirm that this isn't another one
of your stories.

77
00:04:06,704 --> 00:04:07,538
Fine.

78
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:10,917
-[phone dialing]
-Does he know why you're bouncing back?

79
00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:15,046
I've been trying
this new workout regimen that's helping.

80
00:04:15,129 --> 00:04:17,131
[intense music playing]

81
00:04:19,217 --> 00:04:21,219
[siren wailing in distance]

82
00:04:26,557 --> 00:04:28,685
Thank you, doctor. TTFN.

83
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:33,439
Well, it seems to be true.

84
00:04:34,315 --> 00:04:35,942
This calls for a celebration.

85
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:38,778
Cheers.

86
00:04:39,737 --> 00:04:41,239
[all speak in Spanish]

87
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:43,866
[inaudible dialogue]

88
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:47,870
Ah. He's not talking.
Unless you count movie quotes.

89
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:51,374
What did he say about his store's initials
on those tickets?

90
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:54,127
-Never seen them before in his life.
-[scoffs] Right.

91
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:57,672
I don't know if this creep is responsible
for making the videos,

92
00:04:57,755 --> 00:05:01,301
but I can't shake the feeling
that he is profiting off them.

93
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:02,260
Same.

94
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,472
-Where's your partner-in-crime?
-Following up on another lead.

95
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:10,059
What exactly are you accusing me of,
young lady?

96
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,520
I'm not accusing. I'm asking.

97
00:05:12,603 --> 00:05:15,732
If I made a videotape of you
and your classmates

98
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:17,734
murdering poor Mr. Honey?

99
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:19,902
Things haven't changed much, I see.

100
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:23,031
-Mr. Weatherbee, you're back.
-Indeed.

101
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:25,616
In time for senior prom and graduation.

102
00:05:26,868 --> 00:05:28,995
How--? How are you?

103
00:05:30,413 --> 00:05:33,207
I told Edgar I wasn't the mole.
He cut it off.

104
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:36,294
I make it through most nights
without waking up screaming.

105
00:05:42,091 --> 00:05:45,678
Two businesses? Another besides
this community center?

106
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:46,971
Yes, commandant.

107
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:50,141
Archie is also the owner
of Andrews Construction,

108
00:05:50,224 --> 00:05:53,227
a business he inherited
after his father's passing.

109
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:58,816
Well, I have to say,
I am truly impressed by you, Mr. Andrews.

110
00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:00,610
-Thank you.
-However,

111
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:03,112
when it seemed like
you were no longer interested,

112
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,490
I started looking at other candidates.

113
00:06:06,407 --> 00:06:08,326
Someone else you're considering?

114
00:06:08,409 --> 00:06:10,286
Yes, a young man from Queens,

115
00:06:10,369 --> 00:06:13,122
who's been training rigorously
for the Academy.

116
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,208
He's also a boxer like I was.

117
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:19,337
As you know, we have
a proud boxing tradition in the Navy.

118
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:21,923
I'm looking for a champion.

119
00:06:22,006 --> 00:06:26,719
Crazy idea: If you're considering Archie
and someone else,

120
00:06:27,178 --> 00:06:29,097
how about deciding
with an exhibition bout?

121
00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:30,890
Right here at the El Royale.

122
00:06:31,641 --> 00:06:35,937
I do feel that Archie and this young man
are otherwise evenly matched.

123
00:06:36,979 --> 00:06:39,982
Okay. I'll have my office reach out
to KO Kelly,

124
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,860
see how quickly
he can hop a train to Riverdale.

125
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:45,738
Wait a minute.
KO Kelly is your other candidate?

126
00:06:45,822 --> 00:06:47,240
Yes, why? You know him?

127
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:51,994
Um... Yes. He's only dating
one of my BFFs, Katy Keene.

128
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,293
Well, Miss Bell was a bust.

129
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:03,089
Charles isn't having much luck
with the video store's owner either.

130
00:07:03,172 --> 00:07:05,508
I do have an idea
of someone we could talk to

131
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,385
who might be able to give us dirt.

132
00:07:07,468 --> 00:07:10,721
The only caveat being
he's tried to kill me.

133
00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:13,516
[school bell rings]

134
00:07:14,392 --> 00:07:17,061
Our momentous day is almost
upon us, Tee-Tee.

135
00:07:18,146 --> 00:07:21,149
Can I ask, why do you wanna be
prom queen so badly?

136
00:07:21,232 --> 00:07:23,109
"Want," Tee-Tee?

137
00:07:23,192 --> 00:07:25,903
Does Elizabeth want to be
the queen of England?

138
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,990
A better question is,
why don't you wanna be prom queen?

139
00:07:29,073 --> 00:07:30,408
Listen.

140
00:07:30,491 --> 00:07:33,661
If it's important to you,
it's important to me.

141
00:07:33,744 --> 00:07:37,290
But the only royalty I care about
is being Serpent Queen.

142
00:07:37,373 --> 00:07:38,958
Which I will be. Again.

143
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:42,503
-You'll see.
-Hey, Cheryl. Toni.

144
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:45,047
Is this where I sign up
to run for prom person?

145
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,550
Oh, no, Kev.
I don't think you wanna do that.

146
00:07:47,633 --> 00:07:48,968
No, I don't, actually.

147
00:07:49,051 --> 00:07:52,054
But Fangs has always wanted
to be prom king, so...

148
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:54,390
-here we are.
-I hate to rain on Fangs's parade,

149
00:07:54,474 --> 00:07:56,851
but Toni and I are campaigning
to be co-queens,

150
00:07:56,934 --> 00:07:58,978
and it has been my destiny since birth.

151
00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:02,857
I have spent my entire life
fantasizing about being prom queen.

152
00:08:02,940 --> 00:08:05,234
A part of that is I exist in a world

153
00:08:05,318 --> 00:08:09,614
where everyone wants me to be prom queen
and certainly not themselves.

154
00:08:11,115 --> 00:08:12,074
Make sense?

155
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:14,285
Yeah. Yeah.

156
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:18,372
Thank you. As my friend,
I knew you'd understand.

157
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:32,136
Whatever happens with your fight,

158
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:35,389
I've booked us the presidential suite
at the Five Seasons for our...

159
00:08:36,057 --> 00:08:37,892
après-prom rendezvous.

160
00:08:37,975 --> 00:08:43,689
It'll be just you, me,
a bathtub full of rose petals, and...

161
00:08:43,773 --> 00:08:45,608
-[bell jingles]
-KO Kelly!

162
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:47,235
Ronnie. [chuckles]

163
00:08:47,318 --> 00:08:48,736
-Hi.
-Hey.

164
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:53,115
Welcome to Riverdale.
KO, this is Archie Andrews.

165
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:55,326
-Archie, this is KO Kelly.
-Ah.

166
00:08:55,826 --> 00:08:57,411
So, you're my competition.

167
00:08:57,954 --> 00:09:00,831
No offense, but are we
in the same weight class?

168
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:04,919
-I'm bigger than I look, bro.
-Boys, boys.

169
00:09:05,002 --> 00:09:07,046
Save the sparring for the ring.

170
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:09,549
I promised Katy I'd show KO a good time.

171
00:09:09,632 --> 00:09:13,219
Yeah, I'm down. But first,
know where I can drop my stuff?

172
00:09:13,302 --> 00:09:16,514
As a matter of fact, I do.
Archie has graciously agreed

173
00:09:16,597 --> 00:09:19,600
to have you stay with him
and train at his gym.

174

-I'm heading there now if you need a ride.
-All right. Play nice.

175
00:09:26,607 --> 00:09:30,278
[Bret] Well, well, well...
Never thought I'd see you two again.

176
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:31,779
What brings you around?

177
00:09:31,862 --> 00:09:36,117
Look, Bret. We know you sold
your sex tapes to Blue Velvet Video.

178
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,204
The owner, David, keeps coming up
in an investigation we're conducting,

179
00:09:40,288 --> 00:09:42,915
but he's not talking to us.
We need a way in.

180
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:44,959
We need leverage.

181
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:50,464
Yeah. I know David.
But if he's not talking, why should I?

182
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:55,303
See, I have a friend in there with you.
His name is War Baby.

183
00:09:56,304 --> 00:09:59,307
Mm-hm. Know who he hates more than anyone?

184
00:10:01,058 --> 00:10:02,143

What's the investigation?

186
00:10:09,483 --> 00:10:12,278
Someone is making videos of us
and our friends

187
00:10:12,361 --> 00:10:15,239
doing disturbing, violent things.

188
00:10:15,323 --> 00:10:17,992
We think this David is connected to them.

189
00:10:18,075 --> 00:10:21,245
Did he mention or host screenings
with the videos in stock?

190
00:10:21,329 --> 00:10:25,499
Some of David's customers prefer
shared experiences.

191
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:30,171
Underground, immersive,
red-band screenings.

192
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:32,590
If we wanted to attend one,
what would we do?

193
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:33,841
Be on a list.

194
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:35,801
Or you'd have to...

195
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:39,680
prove to David that you're the real deal.

196
00:10:41,515 --> 00:10:42,600
Bring him a tape.

197
00:10:43,142 --> 00:10:46,062
Something to make him sit up
and take notice.

198
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:47,897
Say, a snuff film.

-He's gonna cream me tomorrow.
-Well...

Honestly, a little psychological warfare
might be your best bet.

When it comes to brute power,
we'll see who's stronger:

The Heavyweight Heartbreaker
or the Red Hope.

00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:12,857

233
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,912
This is Riverdale,
but where do we get a snuff film

234
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:29,582
in which someone gets murdered on-screen?

235
00:12:29,665 --> 00:12:31,459
Those are urban legends, I thought.

236
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:35,379
Not according to Nicolas Cage movies.
I mean, we can make one.

-A snuff film?
-Well, a facsimile of one.

No. I won't help you.

No, no, Cheryl.
It's not an actual snuff film.

244

It's an act.

those reenactment videos,

with Jason and your father.

Boy promises to make girl a star and...

252
00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:21,926
then the boy kills the girl.

Cheryl isn't what you think.

344
00:18:33,403 --> 00:18:37,449
That family, over the decades,
has taken everything from us.

345
00:18:37,533 --> 00:18:40,452
-And from our people.
-That's ancient history.

346
00:18:40,536 --> 00:18:43,372
I promise you,
Cheryl is nothing like her family.

347
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:48,210
If that's true, then why have you kept her
hidden like a dirty secret?

348
00:18:48,961 --> 00:18:50,462
Because you know it's wrong--

349
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:53,048
No, it's because I knew
this would be your reaction.

350
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:55,050
About this? Yes.

351
00:18:55,634 --> 00:18:58,011
I will not allow you to date a Blossom.

352
00:19:03,684 --> 00:19:06,728
You look familiar to me. Both of you do.

353
00:19:07,437 --> 00:19:09,106
You come in here before?

354
00:19:09,189 --> 00:19:10,858
-Nope. Never. Shockingly.
-[Betty] Mm-mm.

355
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:14,570
A classmate of mine from prep school
said that you buy videos.

356
00:19:15,195 --> 00:19:17,447
Underground videos.

357
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:20,158
My friend and I saw this video
at a party last weekend--

358
00:19:20,242 --> 00:19:21,326
And we boosted it.

359
00:19:21,785 --> 00:19:24,163
It's of a girl getting killed. For real.

360
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:25,998
A snuff film.

361
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:28,917
Let me take a look.

362
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,922
[whimpering over TV]

363
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:37,718
[Cheryl screaming over TV]

364
00:19:38,468 --> 00:19:40,470
[Reggie grunting over TV]

365
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:43,640
-Sorry, kids.
-[videotape stops]

366
00:19:43,724 --> 00:19:47,477
You were conned.
Or you're trying to con me.

367
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:49,771
But this snuff is a fake.

368
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,524
We were worried
that this tape might not be authentic,

369
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:56,904
so I brought a backup
that I know for a fact is the real deal.

370
00:19:57,446 --> 00:19:59,114
[suspenseful music playing]

371
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:06,038
[woman] I'm making this movie
so we never forget

372
00:20:06,121 --> 00:20:08,123
what your daddy sacrificed for us.

373
00:20:08,206 --> 00:20:10,167
You do love your daddy, don't you, Harold?

374
00:20:10,250 --> 00:20:12,669
-[young Hal] Yes, Mom.
-What is this?

375
00:20:12,753 --> 00:20:14,838
[woman] Want your daddy
to keep living with us?

376
00:20:14,922 --> 00:20:17,424
-The birth of a serial killer.
-[young Hal] Yes, Mom.

377
00:20:17,507 --> 00:20:21,094
-The Black Hood. As a little boy.
-Is that really him?

378
00:20:22,054 --> 00:20:23,472
-The Black Hood?
-Yeah.

379
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:26,558
-That's my dad.
-[woman] And what happens to sinners?

380
00:20:26,642 --> 00:20:30,145
-This is insane.
-Could I screen this at a little...

381
00:20:30,771 --> 00:20:33,941
film festival-slash-rave I'm organizing?

382
00:20:34,024 --> 00:20:36,109
...they're gonna ask
who killed his family.

383
00:20:36,193 --> 00:20:39,196
Yeah. As long as we're invited
to the screening.

384
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:41,531
...but not Daddy,
because we don't want Daddy

385
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:44,451
-to be taken away from us, do we?
-[young Hal] No.

386
00:20:44,534 --> 00:20:47,037
[woman] But you? You will do better.

387
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:48,580
You must do better.

388
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:57,923
[cheers and applause]

389
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:02,427
Go, Archie!

390
00:21:02,511 --> 00:21:03,804
Archie!

391
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:09,518
Attaboy. Go get him, Arch.

392
00:21:10,894 --> 00:21:12,771
[intense music playing]

393
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:27,327
Welcome to the Film Society, girlie.

394
00:21:28,704 --> 00:21:32,165
We got your daddy's movie
playing in Room 317.

395
00:21:35,836 --> 00:21:37,838
[dance music playing over speakers]

396
00:21:40,716 --> 00:21:42,134
-Box.
-[bell dings]

397
00:21:47,764 --> 00:21:49,433
Welcome to the Film Society.

398
00:21:49,516 --> 00:21:53,061
-My dad's playing in Room 317, apparently.
-Awesome.

399
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:12,581
So, what are we supposed
to be looking for?

400
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:17,127
See if any of the auteur's movies
are playing.

401
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:19,087
Or if any of these people are fans.

402
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:31,725
Maybe just get a lay of the land first.

403
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:38,398
[laughing over speakers]

404
00:22:46,114 --> 00:22:47,282
Oh!

405
00:22:59,669 --> 00:23:04,007
[woman] ...saw kill his family,
make sure he doesn't say Daddy.

406
00:23:04,091 --> 00:23:06,593
Can you do that, Harold? Convince him?

407
00:23:06,676 --> 00:23:11,098
You're a good boy, Hal.
Your father let him escape. But you?

408
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,935
You will do better. You must do better.

409
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:16,186
-[Jughead] Betty.
-Yeah.

410
00:23:17,020 --> 00:23:18,188
[bell dings]

411
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:21,483

00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:29,366
-[bell dings]
-Box.

414
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:41,711
[man] Psychosis is the loss of contact
with external reality,

415
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,714
a severe mental disorder
in which thoughts...

416
00:23:44,798 --> 00:23:48,343
-These are all the auteur's films.
-Then he's gotta be in here.

417
00:23:50,011 --> 00:23:52,222
[woman screaming over speakers]

418
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:56,351
Do you know who the director of this is?

419
00:23:59,062 --> 00:24:00,605
Do you know who the director--?

420
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:03,024
You the director?

421
00:24:03,900 --> 00:24:06,570
-[Betty] Hey!
-Oh, no. It's just I'm such a big fan.

422
00:24:06,653 --> 00:24:10,740
-See if I can get an autograph.
-Ponytail Playmate. Hotter in person.

423
00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:20,709
Hey! Jug, we're leaving. We're leaving.

424
00:24:21,251 --> 00:24:22,127
Go, go, go.

425
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:25,088
[bell dings]

426
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,551
[Keller] Attaboy. Give me two big breaths.

427
00:24:33,096 --> 00:24:33,930
Jug, look.

428
00:24:36,057 --> 00:24:38,977
Oh, that's him. That's gotta be him.

429
00:24:49,571 --> 00:24:50,405
Come on, Arch!

430
00:24:58,955 --> 00:25:00,207
-[Jughead] Jellybean?
-Jughead?

431
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:04,377
Betty, go. Let me stay with Jellybean.
Go. After him.

432
00:25:07,047 --> 00:25:09,174
-What are you doing here?
-No, why are you?

433
00:25:09,257 --> 00:25:11,259
My friends and I heard there was a party.

434
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:14,721
-Am I in trouble?
-No. You're not. Let's go.

435
00:25:17,140 --> 00:25:18,767
[bell dinging]

436
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:20,060
Stop, stop, stop.

437
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:21,144
Fight's over.

438
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,731
[cheers and applause]

439
00:25:29,736 --> 00:25:34,699
Ladies and gentlemen, the first judge
has scored the fight in favor of KO Kelly.

[scattered applause]

441
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:42,123
Our second judge has scored the fight
for Archie Andrews.

[cheers and applause]

443
00:25:45,293 --> 00:25:47,295
And our third judge, the commandant...

[suspenseful music playing]

445
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,634
...has scored the fight in favor

446
00:25:52,717 --> 00:25:54,886
of KO Kelly, your winner tonight.

447
00:25:54,970 --> 00:25:56,763

[all murmuring]

449
00:26:09,567 --> 00:26:12,028
You're a hell of a fighter, Archie.
I'll tell you what.

450
00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:17,117
Why don't we stay in touch, and come fall,
when you reapply to the Academy,

451
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,620
-we'll see if we can make it happen.
-No, thanks. I'm good.

452
00:26:20,704 --> 00:26:22,998
Archie. Don't be disrespectful.

453
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:25,750
Your blood's still boiling.
I understand, son.

454
00:26:27,168 --> 00:26:30,088
I'm not your son.
And I'm not applying again.

455
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:42,225
-Cheryl, what the hell did you do?
-What the hell indeed.

456
00:26:42,309 --> 00:26:45,061
I thought you didn't want me to meet
your nana because I'm a lesbian.

457
00:26:45,145 --> 00:26:49,232
But, surprise, it's me and my family
she hates with a fiery vengeance.

458
00:26:49,316 --> 00:26:51,818
Admit that your ancestors
were horrible to mine.

459
00:26:51,901 --> 00:26:54,988
Now my nana is begging me
not to go to prom with you.

460
00:26:55,071 --> 00:26:57,365
She says it would dishonor our family.

461
00:26:57,449 --> 00:26:58,450
Look.

462
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:03,038
I'm truly, truly sorry
I went to see your nana,

463
00:27:04,164 --> 00:27:06,958
but I hope we're still going
to prom together.

464
00:27:07,667 --> 00:27:10,837
I hope that when I'm posing for pictures
in my amazing dress...

465
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:15,175
that you're there with me,
looking equally undeniable.

466
00:27:21,598 --> 00:27:23,725
How did you even know where to go?

467
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:28,355
My friend Lauren from soccer,
her older brother heard about a rave.

468
00:27:28,438 --> 00:27:31,191
-From who?
-I don't know. Some e-mail list.

469
00:27:32,233 --> 00:27:35,320
Jug, I swear,
I've never been to a rave before.

470
00:27:35,403 --> 00:27:40,116
Promise me you're not gonna go
to anymore X-rated raves from now on?

471
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,078
Especially if I end up
in the University of Iowa. Okay?

472
00:27:43,161 --> 00:27:45,288
-Yes.
-Do you promise me?

473
00:27:45,372 --> 00:27:46,956
I promise.

474
00:28:05,266 --> 00:28:06,101
Archie.

475
00:28:08,561 --> 00:28:10,230
I'm sorry about the fight.

476
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,108
I wish I hadn't suggested it.

477
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:16,569
And I know this sucks right now, but...

478
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,698
the Naval Academy wasn't your only option.

479
00:28:21,449 --> 00:28:23,535
-Yeah, it kind of was, Ronnie.
-Hey.

480
00:28:24,661 --> 00:28:25,745
Listen.

481
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,581
Wanna blow off prom?

482
00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:30,250
[tender music playing]

483
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,877
We could do something. Anything you want.

484
00:28:32,961 --> 00:28:34,379
-Just the two of us.
-No.

485
00:28:34,462 --> 00:28:37,048
This will be the last dance
we have with our friends.

486
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:39,551
Can't miss it.

487
00:28:41,803 --> 00:28:43,054
Are you sure, Archie?

488
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:45,932
I'm in.

489
00:28:56,818 --> 00:28:58,820
[tender music playing]

490
00:28:59,821 --> 00:29:03,158
I still wanna take a picture of you, dear.

491
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:05,535
You look like an angel.

492
00:29:05,618 --> 00:29:07,120
Thank you, Nana.

493
00:29:08,037 --> 00:29:11,040
Perhaps your camera will capture
the sublime tragedy of my life.

494
00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:15,420
-Okay.
-Don't start crying yet, Cheryl.

495
00:29:16,212 --> 00:29:18,006
Toni. You came.

496
00:29:19,883 --> 00:29:21,593
Was there ever any doubt?

497
00:29:26,890 --> 00:29:28,016
Ready?

498
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:33,480
Oh, that's nice.

499
00:29:36,149 --> 00:29:38,693
-[Hiram] Looking sharp, Archie.
-Thank you, sir.

500
00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:42,572
Veronica told me about the Naval Academy.

501
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:45,241
-Unlucky break.
-It wasn't meant to be.

502
00:29:45,325 --> 00:29:46,743
Well, look. Um...

503
00:29:47,368 --> 00:29:49,662
If you decide to stay in Riverdale,

504
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:53,500
I'm in need of a deputy mayor
to oversee community outreach.

505
00:29:53,583 --> 00:29:55,502
I think you'd be perfect for it.

506
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:01,382
Well, Archiekins, what do you think?

507
00:30:02,509 --> 00:30:03,593
Am I dazzling?

508
00:30:04,385 --> 00:30:06,221
-Wow.
-[chuckles]

509
00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:14,646
Okay, you two. Snuggle up for a picture.

510
00:30:14,729 --> 00:30:17,649
This is a memory
you're going to treasure forever.

511
00:30:17,732 --> 00:30:21,444
Smile and say, "Endgame." Three, two, one.

512
00:30:24,239 --> 00:30:26,866
