1
00:00:02,127 --> 00:00:04,587
[Jughead] From the start,
this story has been about a town.

2
00:00:06,339 --> 00:00:08,174
And the people who lived in that town.

3
00:00:09,050 --> 00:00:12,053
And the darkness that lived
in some of those people.

4
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:13,805
Clifford Blossom.

5
00:00:14,973 --> 00:00:16,015
The Black Hood.

6
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:17,642
The Gargoyle King.

7
00:00:17,726 --> 00:00:19,102
The Stonies.

8
00:00:20,645 --> 00:00:23,523
Add to their ranks my sister, Jellybean,

9
00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:26,234
who had been the voyeur-slash-auteur

10
00:00:26,317 --> 00:00:29,779
making the videotapes that had been
disturbing our town for months.

11
00:00:33,575 --> 00:00:35,326
This isn't your fault, Jug.

12
00:00:35,410 --> 00:00:36,995
[Jughead sighs]

13
00:00:37,078 --> 00:00:38,288
Just feels like it.

14
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:41,249
I was the one that convinced her
to move out here,

15
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:44,919
away from everything she ever knew.
Then I ignored her.

16
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:48,131
You were in the fight of your life
at Stonewall Prep.

17
00:00:48,214 --> 00:00:50,425
[dramatic music playing]

18
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:51,760
JB's tough.

19
00:00:53,386 --> 00:00:54,888
She'll get through this.

20
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:01,144
Hey. How is she?

21
00:01:02,645 --> 00:01:05,148
I don't know. I really don't know.

22
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,860
Don't know if you're gonna like this.
I've been looking into child therapists.

23
00:01:08,943 --> 00:01:11,696
I found one that has excellent references.

24
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:15,033
Well, I hope they're in Ohio
because that's where I'm taking Jellybean.

25
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:18,161
-Back to Toledo.
-Maybe you're right.

26
00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:21,748
-She might need her mother.
-And her father.

27
00:01:23,541 --> 00:01:24,751
What does that mean?

28
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,003
Alice...

29
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:30,799
she's my little girl.

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,844
If this isn't a cry for help,
I don't know what is.

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,847
Can we at least have a conversation
about this?

32
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:39,849
Yeah. Yeah, we will.

33
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:43,186
But first things first.

34
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:47,398
Jellybean finally told me where her
accomplices are hiding out most nights.

35
00:01:47,482 --> 00:01:48,900
[knocking on door]

36
00:01:51,694 --> 00:01:53,780
Jug? Mr. Jones? What's going on?

37
00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:56,658
-We need you to open up your gym.
-Right now?

38
00:01:57,408 --> 00:01:59,369
After we make a couple stops.

39
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:01,246
[knock on door]

40
00:02:03,289 --> 00:02:06,793
Gentlemen.
To what do I owe this late-night call?

41
00:02:06,876 --> 00:02:10,380
You need to reinstate Tom Keller
as sheriff. Right now.

42
00:02:13,174 --> 00:02:15,176
[dramatic music playing]

43
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:38,741
[Jughead] Asleep,
they almost looked innocent.

44
00:02:39,492 --> 00:02:41,286
It's just messed up.

45
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:46,249
We survived the death of Jason,
the Black Hood and the Gargoyle King,

46
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:49,502
but I didn't even consider
how the fallout of all that

47
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,588
would affect the generation
coming up behind us,

48
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:52,505
[thunder rumbling]

49
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:53,715
including Jellybean.

50
00:02:55,592 --> 00:02:58,553
Unless a meteorite strikes this town
in two days,

51
00:02:58,636 --> 00:03:00,513
we'll have survived graduation.

52
00:03:00,597 --> 00:03:01,514
But will they?

53
00:03:03,933 --> 00:03:07,812
Are we just doomed to be haunted
by this town for the rest of our lives?

54
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:08,730
[thunder crashes]

55
00:03:11,482 --> 00:03:13,276
[Archie] Dad. Dad.

56
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:14,819
What gives? Take the picture.

57
00:03:14,903 --> 00:03:18,615
-The ceremony starts in ten minutes.
-What's taking so long?

58
00:03:18,698 --> 00:03:21,326
I-- I just can't believe we're here.

59
00:03:22,035 --> 00:03:24,662
Archie, you're graduating.

60
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:27,916
Didn't think I'd live to see this day.

61
00:03:28,958 --> 00:03:31,127
-[thunder crashes]
-[dramatic music playing]

62
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:46,935
-It's not even graduation yet.
-No, but it is your last day.

63
00:03:47,018 --> 00:03:51,397
-Well, we don't know that yet.
-I do. I have a really good feeling.

64
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:53,483
You've been applying yourself
so much lately.

65
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:56,277
-Yeah, we'll see. Love you, Mom.
-Love you.

66
00:04:09,082 --> 00:04:12,585
As honorary chairperson and
de-facto queen of tonight's semi-formal,

67
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:14,337
this one's for you, Jay-Jay.

68
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:17,423
[tender music playing]

69
00:04:28,851 --> 00:04:30,520
[Veronica] Presents? For moi?

70
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:39,737
It's been a while since
you've worn any pearls from me,

71
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:42,907
so maybe you'll wear them
for the last day of school.

72
00:04:54,752 --> 00:04:56,629
Is it true what they say about your dad?

73
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:02,719
That he's the devil incarnate?
I stand by my father.

74
00:05:16,357 --> 00:05:18,443
-[Alice crying]
-[Betty] Please stop crying.

75
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:22,864
I was already picturing
Thanksgiving break.

76
00:05:22,947 --> 00:05:25,283
You were gonna come home
on the train from Yale

77
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:27,243
and everyone would be here.

78
00:05:27,952 --> 00:05:28,995
[tender music playing]

79
00:05:29,078 --> 00:05:31,581
FP, Jughead, Jellybean.

80
00:05:32,206 --> 00:05:34,792
You, Charles, Polly and the twins.

81
00:05:36,419 --> 00:05:38,337
Yeah, that would have been nice.

82
00:05:38,755 --> 00:05:42,717
-[sighs] Now it's just gonna be me, alone.
-Hey.

83
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,804
Even if it's just you and me
having turkey meatloaf at Pop's,

84
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:49,640
I will be here for Thanksgiving, okay?

85
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:54,353
And Christmas. And whenever you need me.

86
00:05:54,979 --> 00:05:57,065
I love you so much, Elizabeth.

87
00:05:59,776 --> 00:06:01,194
I love you too, Mom.

88
00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:03,654
[school bell rings]

89
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:12,163
Seventy-five years ago,
the first senior class of Riverdale High

90
00:06:12,246 --> 00:06:14,707
buried a time capsule
just before they graduated.

91
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:19,587
Now, as our seniors prepare for their
own graduation, it's time to open it.

92
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:21,422
-Ladies.
-[students applaud]

93
00:06:26,677 --> 00:06:31,140
A copy of The Riverdale Register
from June 12th, 1945.

94
00:06:31,974 --> 00:06:35,812
A copy of The Blue and Gold,
also from that same year.

95
00:06:38,147 --> 00:06:40,399
This one's for Jughead. A Pop's menu

96
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:44,028
from when hamburgers only cost 15 cents.

97
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:47,824
A baseball card
of Ambrose "The Rocket" Pipps,

98
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,617
Riverdale's hometown hero.

99
00:06:50,535 --> 00:06:53,871
Ew. A Red Circle comic book.

100
00:06:55,915 --> 00:07:00,670
And lastly, a photo of four seniors,

101
00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:05,174
and it's written here that this was taken
days before the boys headed off to war.

102
00:07:06,175 --> 00:07:10,304
These will be on display for
closer inspection during graduation week.

103
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:14,350
And, fellow seniors,
enjoy your last day of high school!

104
00:07:16,978 --> 00:07:17,937
[pop music playing]

105
00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:20,440
Guys, doesn't this feel so weird?

106
00:07:20,523 --> 00:07:23,401
Like, this is the last time
we'll all be hanging out together.

107
00:07:23,484 --> 00:07:26,320
-Except for reunions.
-Yeah, and homecoming, Kev.

108
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:29,949
-It won't be the same.
-What exactly are we waiting for again?

109
00:07:30,032 --> 00:07:31,659
Hot off the presses, chums.

110
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:33,161
-[Sweet Pea] Whoa, yearbooks.
-Oh.

111
00:07:33,244 --> 00:07:36,747
-But Honey banned those, didn't he?
-Yes, but Honey is gone.

112
00:07:36,831 --> 00:07:38,249
[Cheryl] Brava.

113
00:07:38,332 --> 00:07:40,585
Well done, ladies. This is amazing.

114
00:07:40,668 --> 00:07:43,129
There's even an entire page
dedicated to the Serpents.

115
00:07:43,212 --> 00:07:46,841
-And a shout-out to the Pretty Poisons.
-And the musicals.

116
00:07:46,924 --> 00:07:48,301
Despite the fact that--

117
00:07:48,384 --> 00:07:52,763
[Bell over PA] Archie Andrews and
Jughead Jones to the principal's office.

118
00:07:52,847 --> 00:07:56,934
Archie Andrews and Jughead Jones
to the principal's office.

119
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:58,853
Dead teens walking.

120
00:07:59,687 --> 00:08:01,689
[suspenseful music playing]

121
00:08:03,357 --> 00:08:06,736
-Guess who's graduating.
-Holy crap. You're a legend.

122
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:08,696
-Whew.
-What about summer school?

123
00:08:08,779 --> 00:08:11,699
No more pencils, no more books,
no more teachers' dirty looks.

124
00:08:11,782 --> 00:08:13,993
-I'm happy for you, Jug.
-[Bell] Archie.

125
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:15,828
He's ready for you.

126
00:08:17,955 --> 00:08:19,498
It's gonna be all right.

127
00:08:19,999 --> 00:08:21,250
-All right?
-Yeah.

128
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,175
[Weatherbee sighs]

129
00:08:29,258 --> 00:08:32,511
I get no pleasure in telling you this,
Mr. Andrews,

130
00:08:32,595 --> 00:08:37,058
but despite your efforts, you will not be
graduating with your classmates.

131
00:08:39,268 --> 00:08:41,103
So, it's summer school for me.

132
00:08:41,812 --> 00:08:44,440
Unfortunately,
that's not going to be enough.

133
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,944
You'll have to repeat your senior year.

134
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:52,740
I understand this is a shock.

135
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:56,869
But no one is going to hold this year
against you.

136
00:08:58,037 --> 00:08:59,872
Yeah, I appreciate you saying that, sir.

137
00:09:04,126 --> 00:09:05,127
Uh...

138
00:09:06,128 --> 00:09:08,631
-Can I still--?
-Walk with your classmates?

139
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:11,550
Of course you can.

140
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:16,514
In fact, though it's last-minute...

141
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:21,018
I was hoping you might record
the graduation song for us.

142
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,188
Yeah, I'd be happy to, sir.

143
00:09:26,983 --> 00:09:29,527
What's the verdict?
Summer school? Yea, nay?

144
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:31,237
Summer school, as expected.

145
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:34,574
But Weatherbee's letting me walk
with you guys.

146
00:09:34,657 --> 00:09:38,077
-I'll have my diploma by the end of June.
-That's a relief.

147
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,330
-You can enjoy the last day of school.
-Yeah. Definitely.

148
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,588
[clock ticking]

149
00:09:50,047 --> 00:09:51,507
[dramatic music playing]

150
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:04,270
-[school bell rings]
-[all cheering]

151
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:11,277
[indistinct chatter]

152
00:10:49,231 --> 00:10:51,734
-Working on your speech?
-[Betty] Mm-hm.

153
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,863
Well, don't keep me in suspense.
What's it about?

154
00:10:57,531 --> 00:11:01,327
Considering I haven't written any of it,
I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

155
00:11:01,410 --> 00:11:04,080
Well, I'm sure you'll crack it.
You always do.

156
00:11:10,628 --> 00:11:11,879
[knocking on door]

157
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:17,259
Ronnie. What's, uh--? What's going on?

158
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:22,932
I was cleaning out my room,
and I came across some choice items

159
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:25,518
that you've left
over the past three years.

160
00:11:26,227 --> 00:11:28,479
And I wanted to give it back to you.

161
00:11:29,188 --> 00:11:30,022
Oh.

162
00:11:32,775 --> 00:11:37,196
Also, despite everything
that's happened between us...

163
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:41,283
I wanted to be with you tonight.

164
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:45,287
If only for one last time.

165
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:49,708
-Is that crazy?
-No.

166
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:51,502
Not at all.

167
00:11:52,336 --> 00:11:55,381
In fact, I can't think of anything
I want more in this moment.

168
00:11:58,926 --> 00:12:00,344
[dramatic music playing]

169
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:15,192
[tender music playing]

170
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:18,779
At school yesterday...

171
00:12:21,115 --> 00:12:24,493
I spied you looking at that picture

What must have been going
through their minds.

175
00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:44,138
Most of their classmates were heading
to college or in their family businesses.

after graduation, I--

180

-I'd go to Toledo with you and Jellybean.
-No. Uh-uh.

You're the first Jones man

I admit, I've been struggling
with what I wanted to say today.

And even death.

210
00:15:39,855 --> 00:15:43,233
It's not fair that so many
of our classmates aren't here

211
00:15:43,317 --> 00:15:44,526
to walk with us today.

212
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:49,323
It's not right
that some of our parents aren't here

213

214
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:58,540

have known no Riverdale

other than the one steeped in violence.

216
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:05,923
Our class is lucky enough to remember
a time before the era of tragedy.

217
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:09,468
When this was just a small...

the generation coming up behind us.

220
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:23,440
And the one I want us, our class,
to remember as we head into the future.

00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:54,094
It's kind of the same plan I had
going to the Naval Academy.

344
00:25:54,177 --> 00:25:58,014
Hardly. In fact,
it's nothing like the Naval Academy.

senior year, which I was gonna have to do.

Well, if that's what you feel is
the right thing for you, Arch, then--

351

Sorry, but no.
I won't sit here and support this.

You don't have a plan.
And I get that. That's scary. But this?

355

This is just straight-up lunacy, Archie.
And I won't indulge it.

360

a horror show in this town,

of the maple factory and groves,

and rehabilitate our family legacy.

If this is about my nana,
you need to get that out of your mind.

She's starting to come around.

375
00:27:46,164 --> 00:27:48,958
She asked me if we were gonna
be living in the same dorm room

376

But I don't want you to have to choose
between your family and me.

382
00:28:10,438 --> 00:28:13,066
Perhaps if I'm successful,
you won't have to.

383

517
00:40:22,002 --> 00:40:24,088
would we keep the vow that we made?

518
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:27,299
To return to our booth at Pop's
one year later?

519
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:28,634
Only time would tell.

Uh... No, I'm good.
I think it's time I take off.

525
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:57,413
I'm sorry they didn't make it.
They're probably just busy.

526
00:40:58,581 --> 00:40:59,748

[Jughead] It would be six years
before I saw my friends again.

We'd be different people, each of us.
