Nice to meet you.

Well, we've survived
two days of the school year.

186

-Obviously, I'll be defying gravity.

off the Lonely Highway.

-Dealing for the Ghoulies.

in Riverdale making a living that way.

arrange meetings with these women

According to my mom,
Polly doesn't have a laptop,

but I asked the twins
and they said she uses theirs.

I have the next subject for your book.

He came in today for pork chops

interview him for your book.

-Oh, no.

But I do have his address.

00:20:57,547 --> 00:20:58,548
The Mothmen.

343
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,682
[Dreyfuss] About 30, 40 years ago,

344
00:21:06,765 --> 00:21:09,851
me and some buddies got hired
to dig out a collapsed mine

345
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:11,937
not far off the Lonely Highway.

346
00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:14,439
One night, we went to bed,

347
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:19,361
and the next morning, when we woke up,
one of the guys, Ramos, was missing.

348
00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:23,073
We worked the whole day,
but Ramos never showed.

349
00:21:23,156 --> 00:21:24,324
Until the next morning...

350
00:21:25,409 --> 00:21:27,619

351
00:21:28,203 --> 00:21:30,122
but Raymond was missing.

352
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:35,377
Ramos told us that some Mothmen
had taken him up in their ship

353
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:37,170
and now they had Raymond.

354
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:41,216
-Did you believe him?
-Not at first.

355
00:21:41,758 --> 00:21:44,511
But the next morning, Raymond was back,

356
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:46,596
but Arnold was missing.

357
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,141
And sure enough, Raymond said

358
00:21:49,224 --> 00:21:51,727
the Mothmen had taken him up
in their ship.

359
00:21:54,104 --> 00:21:57,274
Now, when you say "Mothmen,"
are you talking...?

360
00:21:57,357 --> 00:22:01,528
Aliens, angels, Mothmen,
call them whatever you like.

361
00:22:01,611 --> 00:22:05,741
They live in the woods
and the caves off the Lonely Highway.

00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:41,274
Archie. This is unexpected.

513
00:31:41,357 --> 00:31:43,151
Chad. Hey, you're still here.

514
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:53,494
Um... Listen, the thing is, I'm restarting
the football team at Riverdale High.

515
00:31:54,329 --> 00:31:57,123
And there's no budget for anything.

516
00:31:57,206 --> 00:31:58,499
Say no more.

517
00:31:58,583 --> 00:31:59,792
As a former Vixen,

518
00:31:59,876 --> 00:32:02,378
I made an oath to always support
my beloved Bulldogs.

519
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:04,380
I will cover the start-up costs.

520
00:32:04,464 --> 00:32:07,759
Thank you, Veronica.
I promise I'll pay you back 100%.

521
00:32:08,259 --> 00:32:10,887
You mean, pay us back 100%.

522
00:32:12,472 --> 00:32:13,348
Of course.

523
00:32:14,098 --> 00:32:15,308
Pay you guys back.

524
00:32:15,850 --> 00:32:16,851
Thank you, Chad.

525
00:32:18,019 --> 00:32:20,730
You know, actually,
now I think about it...

526
00:32:21,814 --> 00:32:23,733
you're a vet, a proud guy.

527
00:32:24,943 --> 00:32:26,527
You don't wanna be taking handouts.

528
00:32:27,487 --> 00:32:29,030
So how's this for an idea?

529
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:30,615
Instead of us loaning you the money,

530
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,202
what if you renovate our apartment,
this apartment?

531
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:35,912
What are you talking about?

532
00:32:35,995 --> 00:32:39,332
We help out Archie's team,
he does this job for us and gets paid.

533
00:32:39,415 --> 00:32:42,961
I'm sure Archie has other things
he's gotta be doing.

534
00:32:43,044 --> 00:32:44,128
[Archie] No, it's fine.

535
00:32:45,213 --> 00:32:47,340
I don't wanna be taking handouts.

536
00:32:48,132 --> 00:32:50,927
I'll call some of my dad's old crew,
see if they can help out.

537
00:32:52,136 --> 00:32:53,137
Awesome sauce.

538
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,808
-Thanks again.
-Of course. See you at school tomorrow.

539
00:33:03,564 --> 00:33:05,441
Okay. What the hell was that?

540
00:33:05,525 --> 00:33:07,068
He's my friend.

541
00:33:07,151 --> 00:33:10,613
I'm sure he'd rather do a little work
than crawl to you for charity.

542
00:33:10,697 --> 00:33:12,657
You didn't have to be
such a dick about it.

543
00:33:12,740 --> 00:33:13,616
Excuse me.

544
00:33:14,742 --> 00:33:17,412
Have I not been accommodating to you
since I've been here?

545
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:19,914
I've been nice to your friends.
I even sang karaoke.

546
00:33:19,997 --> 00:33:22,500
I didn't realize
those were such chores for you.

547
00:33:25,712 --> 00:33:26,546
They weren't.

548
00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:29,507
I wanted to do them for you.

549
00:33:30,967 --> 00:33:33,803
If I came across dick-ish
with Archie, I'm sorry.

550
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:37,140
It won't happen again, okay?

551
00:33:39,225 --> 00:33:40,059
Okay.

552
00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:40,977
Good.

553
00:33:42,812 --> 00:33:43,896
What's for dinner?

554
00:33:45,898 --> 00:33:47,650
-Can we get Pop's takeout?
-Ugh.

555
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:50,611
I can't handle another greasy burger
and onion rings.

556
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:53,197
Let's go out.

557
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:57,285
There's this Italian place
that your dad mentioned. Mia's?

558
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:01,539
[sighs]

559
00:34:03,791 --> 00:34:04,625
Sure.

560
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:06,961
Let's go to Mia's.

561
00:34:11,591 --> 00:34:13,509
["Juanita" playing]

562
00:34:13,593 --> 00:34:16,387
Are you working
on your Mothmen chronicles?

563
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:18,264
It is so bizarre, Tabitha.

564
00:34:18,347 --> 00:34:20,349
I ended up talking to Old Man Dreyfuss.

565
00:34:20,433 --> 00:34:22,643
He did tell me the people
he used to worked with.

566
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:24,854
All of his buddies from back in the day.

567
00:34:24,937 --> 00:34:28,858
Tracked them down,
just so I could corroborate his story.

568
00:34:28,941 --> 00:34:31,360
-Uh-huh.
-Get this.

569
00:34:32,695 --> 00:34:33,696
They're all dead.

570
00:34:35,698 --> 00:34:37,992
Couldn't that be a coincidence
because they're old?

571
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:42,872
Curiously, they all died from cancer,
and, yeah, that could be a coincidence.

572
00:34:42,955 --> 00:34:44,165
But maybe...

573
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,793
just maybe... [sighs]

574
00:34:48,127 --> 00:34:51,798
they were all exposed to the same
radiation on the spaceship. Hmm?

575
00:34:51,881 --> 00:34:54,675
Ah. Is that what happens
when you go aboard a spaceship?

576
00:34:54,759 --> 00:34:56,803
No idea. But it makes a great story.

577
00:34:57,845 --> 00:34:59,639
What's the next step?

578
00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:03,142
Dreyfuss said that some articles
were produced after their encounter,

579
00:35:03,226 --> 00:35:05,436
so I'm just tracking those ones down.

580
00:35:07,605 --> 00:35:08,439
I'm in.

581
00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:11,609
If you want some help.

582
00:35:12,944 --> 00:35:16,739
Unless you're like the lone-wolf type
or whatever.

583
00:35:18,491 --> 00:35:19,325
Sure.

584
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:24,163
More the merrier.

585
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:30,044
[knock on door]

586
00:35:33,047 --> 00:35:34,340
-Betty.
-Hey.

587
00:35:34,841 --> 00:35:36,634
-Is Jughead home?
-No. He's working.

588
00:35:37,093 --> 00:35:37,927
Hmm.

589
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:44,183
My mom and I are waiting to hear
something, anything about Polly.

590
00:35:44,267 --> 00:35:46,519
And she's driving me crazy.

591
00:35:47,728 --> 00:35:51,440
Yeah. I'm feeling pretty crazy
and frustrated myself.

592
00:35:54,735 --> 00:35:56,737
[tender music playing]

593
00:36:05,705 --> 00:36:07,206
Let's go upstairs.

594
00:36:14,297 --> 00:36:15,548
[Archie sighs]

595
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:17,717
[tender music playing]

596
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,343
[cell phone ringing]

597
00:36:19,427 --> 00:36:21,512
-Is that me?
-It's me, I think.

598
00:36:26,767 --> 00:36:29,270
Yeah. It's my friend Todd
from the academy.

599
00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:31,397
It's probably about Polly's phone.

600
00:36:33,774 --> 00:36:37,695
I should go, but this... was really nice.

601
00:36:47,496 --> 00:36:49,498
[dramatic music playing]

602
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:56,881
What's this?

603
00:36:58,925 --> 00:36:59,926
Chad...

604
00:37:01,344 --> 00:37:04,388
upon reflection,
I think we need to pump the brakes.

605
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:10,228
Back in New York,

606
00:37:10,311 --> 00:37:11,979
I had the instinct that

607
00:37:12,647 --> 00:37:15,399
we should take some time
to be by ourselves.

608
00:37:16,984 --> 00:37:19,278
And as fun as the last few days have been,

609
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,864
I still think we need a break.

610
00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:24,700
-Because of Archie?
-No, Chad.

611
00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:26,869
Because of me.

612
00:37:27,578 --> 00:37:32,166
Because I need real time and space
to figure out if I'm a Pop's girl...

613
00:37:32,959 --> 00:37:34,168
or a Mia's girl...

614
00:37:35,628 --> 00:37:36,504
or both.

615
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:41,801
That's not gonna be a problem, is it?

616
00:37:43,386 --> 00:37:44,220
Not at all.

617
00:37:45,554 --> 00:37:47,807
Let me know when you're ready to talk.

618
00:37:58,150 --> 00:38:00,152
[playful music playing]

619
00:38:01,028 --> 00:38:01,862
Cheryl.

620
00:38:03,072 --> 00:38:04,073
Hi, Toni.

621
00:38:04,907 --> 00:38:07,076
I was gonna give you a call,
and then I thought:

622
00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:11,622
"Hmm. No, stealing my Vixens
warrants a visit in person."

623
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:18,921
You're playing
a very dangerous game, Topaz.

624
00:38:21,382 --> 00:38:23,634
You've each been assigned a locker.

625
00:38:24,260 --> 00:38:28,389
That's to go along with your new cleats,
your new uniform and pads.

626
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:31,726
I'm also psyched to announce
our generous sponsor for all this stuff

627
00:38:31,809 --> 00:38:34,145
and other expenses is Veronica Gekko.

628
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:37,273
Lodge, actually. Veronica Lodge.

629
00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:40,067
Okay.

630
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:41,861
You heard the lady.

631
00:38:41,944 --> 00:38:44,238
-Let's give her a round of applause.
-[cheers and applause]

632
00:38:48,909 --> 00:38:52,747
[Bell] You asked me to call if anything
interesting or important happens.

633
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:58,294
Well, you should know what's going on
in the boys' locker room right now.

634
00:39:00,004 --> 00:39:00,838
I see.

635
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,636
Well, thank you, Ms. Bell.
Your information is very much appreciated.

636
00:39:08,262 --> 00:39:09,263
We'll be in touch.

637
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:12,516
You see...

638
00:39:14,018 --> 00:39:16,854
-now I'm angry.
-What happened?

639
00:39:16,937 --> 00:39:19,565
Archie Andrews made good
on his promise to you

640
00:39:19,648 --> 00:39:21,108
and started a football team.

641
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:22,943
[tense music playing]

642
00:39:23,569 --> 00:39:24,904
With my daughter's money.

643
00:39:27,948 --> 00:39:30,743
So maybe this time, we pay him a visit.

644
00:39:31,911 --> 00:39:34,080
[Betty] I heard from my friend Todd
at the FBI.

645
00:39:34,163 --> 00:39:37,416
He traced the call
to somewhere in this region.

646
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:38,793
Swedlow Swamp?

647
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:41,629
What was Polly doing there?

648
00:39:42,421 --> 00:39:46,092
How are we gonna find her?
That's acres and acres of marshland.

649
00:39:46,592 --> 00:39:49,678
We'll have to keep calling
her cell phone until we hear it ring.

650
00:39:52,473 --> 00:39:54,141
[Kevin] Assuming it's still charged.

651
00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:56,227
[suspenseful music playing]

652
00:40:05,111 --> 00:40:06,612
We've been out here for hours.

653
00:40:06,695 --> 00:40:08,823
-I'm freezing. Maybe we should--
-[cell phone ringing]

654
00:40:08,906 --> 00:40:10,991
Shh. I hear something.

655
00:40:11,659 --> 00:40:13,285
[ringing continues]

656
00:40:14,203 --> 00:40:15,121
Let's split up.

657
00:40:16,413 --> 00:40:18,415
[suspenseful music playing]

658
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,924
[gasps] Guys. Guys, over here!

659
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:28,968
[Alice] What?

660
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:30,678
[Alice gasping]

661
00:40:36,725 --> 00:40:38,435
[Jughead] Archie, there's a fire!

662
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,646
[dramatic music playing]

663
00:40:46,902 --> 00:40:47,903
On the back porch too!

664
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,082
[theme music playing]
