[dramatic music playing]

2
00:00:06,881 --> 00:00:10,969
Ten nights working the Lonely Highway
and not even a nibble.

3
00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:14,639
Truckers are not stopping for us.

4
00:00:15,181 --> 00:00:17,559
We'd have better luck
at catching our killers

5
00:00:17,642 --> 00:00:20,311
if we were flying solo.

6
00:00:20,395 --> 00:00:24,482
Ten quiet nights with no new murders
is a win in my book.

7
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:29,070
When serial killers go quiet,
that is when you should be afraid.

8
00:00:29,154 --> 00:00:34,659
That is when their desire to hunt
and kill is building up inside of them.

[cell phone ringing]

10
00:00:39,581 --> 00:00:42,250
Dr. Curdle Jr., it's early for you.

11
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:44,919
I'm calling about our tongueless friend.

12
00:00:47,964 --> 00:00:50,258
You asked me
not to report him to the authorities,

13
00:00:50,341 --> 00:00:54,804
but I'm getting nervous
keeping his corpse in cold storage.

14
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:58,349
I'd like your permission
to incinerate the body in my crematorium.

15
00:00:58,433 --> 00:01:01,269
No. He's evidence
for the Lonely Highway case.

16
00:01:01,352 --> 00:01:06,191
It's risky for me, Miss Cooper,
and refrigeration's expensive.

17
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:09,235
Why don't I come by in a bit
with a payment

18
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,780
to help cover your extra expenses?

19
00:01:11,863 --> 00:01:14,074
That would greatly ease my anxiety.

20
00:01:14,824 --> 00:01:17,243
Okay. I will see you in a couple hours.

21
00:01:17,827 --> 00:01:22,082
I thought leaving Chicago for Riverdale
would mean no nightlife. Ha.

22
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,418
-See you at dusk?
-See you at dusk.

23
00:01:26,085 --> 00:01:28,004
[Cheryl] I had just about
given up hope, Archie.

24
00:01:28,087 --> 00:01:32,050
We haven't found the mother lode
of palladium yet, but I have faith.

25
00:01:32,592 --> 00:01:36,513
Cheryl, me and the guys,
we're down there breaking rocks for you,

26
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:39,265
pulling 12-hour shifts,
when there's so much

27
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:42,310
-we could be doing topside.
-Yes, your crusade to save Riverdale,

28
00:01:42,393 --> 00:01:46,064
which consists of what at this point?
Filling in potholes?

29
00:01:46,147 --> 00:01:49,818
Maintaining the town's infrastructure
until we can get reincorporated.

30
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:52,320
Which I'm happy to do on my days off,
but it costs money.

31
00:01:52,403 --> 00:01:53,571
I know where this is going.

32
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:55,740
If I'm putting my crew's focus
on the mines,

33
00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:58,493
then I need your assurance
that if we find that palladium--

34
00:01:58,576 --> 00:02:00,829
You and your men
will be fairly compensated.

35
00:02:00,912 --> 00:02:05,125
In fact, I will deposit
a modest finder's fee via Chime,

36
00:02:05,625 --> 00:02:08,086
-in exchange for the nugget.
-[cell phone chimes]

37
00:02:08,169 --> 00:02:11,506
In the future, a portion
of whatever you unearth will be set aside

38
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:15,718
-to subsidize your revitalization efforts.
-We'll work our asses off for you.

39
00:02:16,511 --> 00:02:19,347
Let's move on to the house in Sag Harbor.

40
00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:22,267
That's mine. I won't sign
the divorce papers unless I get it.

41
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:27,063
I bought that house, Chad,
with money I made on Wall Street.

42
00:02:27,147 --> 00:02:28,439
I want alimony too.

43
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:29,774
Fine, you worm.

44
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:31,109
And this apartment.

45
00:02:32,777 --> 00:02:34,737
Fine. Fine.

46
00:02:34,821 --> 00:02:38,741
Take The Pembrooke. You know what?
Take this ring and rot in hell.

47
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:41,244
I don't care, Chad. Take it all.

48
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:44,122
All I want, all I need is Archie.

49
00:02:47,542 --> 00:02:51,170
Poor, dim, impressionable Kevin.

50
00:02:52,922 --> 00:02:54,507
I'm worried for you.

51
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:59,721
When I started this ministry, it was
with nothing but the purest of intentions.

52
00:02:59,804 --> 00:03:03,933
And now Cheryl has twisted it
into something profane.

53
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:06,978
Dare I say, cultlike.

54
00:03:07,061 --> 00:03:09,981
When Cheryl made those bees dance
to her infernal tune,

55
00:03:10,064 --> 00:03:13,776
I got distinct Wicker Man-like vibes.

56
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:16,571
If this religion is a cult,
you're in it too.

57
00:03:16,654 --> 00:03:20,158
Hmph. Please. My will is a steel rod.

58
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:22,410
Can you say the same?

00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:28,875
[phone rings]

60
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:31,794
Pop's. This is Tabitha.

61
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:36,674
Oh, Mrs. Fields, of course.
How's Squeaky doing?

62
00:03:37,467 --> 00:03:41,179
Riverdale is done with me.
And I'm done with Riverdale.

63
00:03:41,262 --> 00:03:44,307
No, no, I haven't heard from her
since she left.

64
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:46,392
[suspenseful music playing]

65
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:52,190
I admit, when Mr. Weatherbee told me
that two students had gotten into a fight,

66
00:03:52,273 --> 00:03:55,151
you're the last person
I thought would've been involved, Britta.

67
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,030
I punched Tim Higgins once.

68
00:03:59,989 --> 00:04:02,784
And only because
he wouldn't stop calling me...

69
00:04:04,619 --> 00:04:06,120
homophobic names.

70
00:04:07,997 --> 00:04:11,000
That's completely unacceptable.
I'll talk to Tim.

71
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:14,337
-But violence isn't the answer.
-I know.

72
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:17,465
The thing is, Miss Topaz, I think I am...

73
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:19,968
gay.

74
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:25,181
-I mean, I haven't told my family yet.
-Coming out can be a process.

75
00:04:26,265 --> 00:04:30,478
And sometimes a difficult one.
It was for me when I came out.

76
00:04:31,562 --> 00:04:32,814
But the good news is,

77
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:36,442
only you get to decide
when it's the right time.

78
00:04:37,986 --> 00:04:40,029
I'll be here
if you need anybody to talk to.

79
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:42,240
If I wanted to talk to my parents...

80
00:04:43,241 --> 00:04:45,660
-would you be there with me?
-Absolutely.

81
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:47,787
I'd be honored.

82
00:04:48,621 --> 00:04:52,041
So my daughter continues
to be as much a thorn in your side

83
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:55,086
-as she is mine, huh?
-I keep hoping we might reconcile.

84
00:04:55,169 --> 00:04:58,715
You won't.
Not as long as Archie's in the picture.

85
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:02,135
It's one of the things
I've learned over the years.

86
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:05,722
My daughter's greatest vulnerability
is her love for Archie.

87
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:10,768
So if you want a shot in hell
at saving your marriage...

88
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:16,899
you're gonna have to get rid of him.

89
00:05:18,609 --> 00:05:19,485
It's a ghost gun.

90
00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:23,156
No serial numbers. Untraceable.

91
00:05:28,328 --> 00:05:29,162
Hey.

92
00:05:29,704 --> 00:05:33,082
I just finished practice with the Vixens.
Wanna ride to Thornhill together?

93
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:35,752
Cheryl, can I ask you something?

94
00:05:36,627 --> 00:05:37,795
When we pray,

95
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,840
who are we praying to? Jason?

96
00:05:40,923 --> 00:05:41,758
Um...

97
00:05:42,258 --> 00:05:46,471
Jason is more of a conduit,
a messenger to the higher power.

98
00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:47,889
Which is what exactly?

99
00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:50,600
I'm not sure.

100
00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:52,769
-Let me fast on it.
-What?

101
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:54,437
It's like doing a cleanse.

102
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,608
No solid food, only hot water with lemon,
maple syrup, and a hint of cayenne pepper.

103
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:01,944
It flushes you out completely,
and then once I'm empty,

104
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:06,991
I can be refilled with wisdom
and answers for you, Kev-Kev.

105
00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:16,459
I'm worried about a friend of mine.
A waitress who used to work here, Squeaky.

106
00:06:17,168 --> 00:06:19,253
Her mom said that she never made it

107
00:06:19,337 --> 00:06:22,423
-to her friends in California.
-Oh, God. I'm sorry.

108
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:24,550
Me too. Anything I can do to help?

109
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:26,928
There is, Jughead.

110
00:06:27,011 --> 00:06:30,348
The Lonely Highway killings
are a mystery, right?

111
00:06:30,431 --> 00:06:34,435
Everyone tells me there wasn't a mystery
you two couldn't solve back in the day.

112
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,688
So... I'm canceling all of your shifts.

113
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:41,359
You'll still get your weekly paycheck,
but it won't be to bus tables.

114
00:06:41,442 --> 00:06:45,113
It will be to help Betty.
Betty, are you down with this plan?

115
00:06:45,196 --> 00:06:46,614
Yeah. Yes.

116
00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:48,950
-Jughead?
-Sure.

117
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:51,661
Great. What's the first step?

118
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:55,164
-I'm assuming you have case files.
-Yeah.

119
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:57,125
I'll start by reading those.

120
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,837

[dramatic music playing]

124
00:07:41,794 --> 00:07:45,006
So you captured a guy
who more or less confessed,

125
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:47,216
then they swallowed their own tongue

126
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,136
because they thought
you were going to dismember them?

127
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:53,598
That's the last big thing that happened.

128
00:07:53,681 --> 00:07:56,017
You still think
this is several serial killers

129
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:58,352
-working in tandem over the years?
-Yeah. Yes.

130
00:07:58,436 --> 00:08:00,521
A family of truckers

131
00:08:00,605 --> 00:08:04,609
who have been kidnapping
and murdering hitchhikers and sex workers.

132
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:06,569
And Lerman Marshall Logan.

133
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:08,446
[dramatic music playing]

134
00:08:08,529 --> 00:08:12,700
My ex-student that disappeared
and was somewhere for a week, remember?

135
00:08:12,783 --> 00:08:14,368
Yeah, I've been thinking about him.

136
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:19,040
He doesn't fit any of the victim profiles,
which might be a clue in of itself?

137
00:08:19,123 --> 00:08:22,376
He might be one of the only people
who encountered this family of yours

138
00:08:22,460 --> 00:08:23,628
and survived.

139
00:08:23,711 --> 00:08:27,381
At the time, Weatherbee didn't let me
talk to him because I was a teacher.

140
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:29,634
But now Lerman is transferred
and I've been fired, so...

141
00:08:29,717 --> 00:08:32,053
-We need to talk to Lerman.
-Yeah. I'll find him on social.

[cell phone ringing]

143

Hi, Dr. Curdle. Um, I'm so sorry,
I have your money in small bills--

144
00:08:39,435 --> 00:08:42,772
Another body's been brought in
from Swedlow Swamp.

145
00:08:42,855 --> 00:08:45,608
I think you'll find it very interesting.

146
00:08:46,526 --> 00:08:48,861
The victim is unlike any we've found.

147
00:08:48,945 --> 00:08:51,239
The body has been completely dismembered.

148
00:08:51,322 --> 00:08:55,326
-Why change their MO?
-Maybe to make the bodies harder to find?

149

-Have you identified the victim yet?
-Unfortunately not.

The body was mutilated
beyond all recognition.

But, based on the level of decomposition,

152
00:09:04,752 --> 00:09:07,004
it could be your sister.

00:09:08,339 --> 00:09:11,842
I'll need to perform
a DNA test on the remains,

-and then compare it to--
-Mine. Yeah, do it.

has made me rethink
what I want out of this divorce.

I'm getting everything.
And you're getting nothing.

163

And if you don't agree,

164
00:09:45,793 --> 00:09:48,045
I'll press murder charges against you.

165

-How?
-You dropped the gun, idiot.

are positively divine.

00:10:05,479 --> 00:10:09,317
-You should try one.
-I already told you, Mother. I'm fasting.

169
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:11,068
For enlightenment.

170
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:12,820
As a matter of fact,

171
00:10:12,903 --> 00:10:15,197
-I'm feeling rather...
-Light-headed?

172
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:16,324
Inspired.

173
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:21,245
I'm going to go paint
and let the invisible hand guide my brush.

174
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:23,831
-Oh, my God, Cheryl.
-I'm fine.

175
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:26,876
Just leave me be, you doubting Thomases.

176
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:33,257
I had Archie in my sights,
but the gun misfired.

177
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:38,137
Veronica stole my palladium.

178
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:42,266
Archie stole your wife.

179
00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:45,770
I thought one bullet would right
these two wrongs, but...

180
00:10:47,438 --> 00:10:51,317
As a wise man once said,
"Never send in a boy to do a man's job."

181
00:10:52,401 --> 00:10:53,944
Get out of my sight, Chad.

182
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:58,157
You disgust me.
Better yet, get out of Riverdale

183
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,950
'cause you lost my daughter forever.

184
00:11:08,542 --> 00:11:09,377
Hi, handsome.

185
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:13,089
Hey. Ronnie.

186
00:11:14,131 --> 00:11:16,592
-What's going on?
-Guess what's in here.

187
00:11:17,843 --> 00:11:19,220
My divorce papers.

188
00:11:20,262 --> 00:11:21,097
It's official.

189
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:22,723

00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:05,933
I don't mind the distraction

The body, uh, is...

201
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:18,904
What, Betty?

202
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:21,282
It's dismembered.

-Oh, my God.
-I know.

204
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:27,413
I know. But Jughead and I have a lead.

205
00:12:28,330 --> 00:12:29,165
Okay.

206
00:12:31,083 --> 00:12:32,084
Keep me posted.

207
00:12:33,043 --> 00:12:34,420
[door opens]

[door closes]

209
00:12:36,797 --> 00:12:39,175
[Cheryl] Look at what came out of me.

210
00:12:39,258 --> 00:12:40,509
This.

211
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,595
This is your answer, Kevin.

212
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:46,056
The higher power we've been praying to,
drawing strength from.

213
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:47,516
I don't understand.

214
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,645
Earth, water, fire, and wind.
The fabric of the natural world.

215
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,401
-I'm still not following.
-The higher power is nature itself.

216
00:12:58,652 --> 00:13:01,197
That's what
we should be worshipping, Kevin.

217
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:04,492
The elements. It all makes perfect sense.

218
00:13:07,328 --> 00:13:10,247
-How do you figure that?
-For more than a century,

219
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:12,833
we, Blossoms,
have made our livelihood from maple trees.

220
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:16,504
But our roots go so much deeper
than I've ever considered.

221
00:13:16,587 --> 00:13:18,672
[Kevin] Okay. So when we pray, we...

222
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,384
-pray to--
-Gaia. Mother Earth.

223
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:26,180
Okay. Got it.

224
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:30,559
You know, Cheryl...

225
00:13:32,228 --> 00:13:34,230
I'm happy you found some clarity.

226
00:13:35,898 --> 00:13:37,274
But I think I'm out.

227
00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:42,029
This religion's gotten
a little too fringy, even for me.

228
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:44,490
I hope that's okay.

229
00:13:46,450 --> 00:13:47,993
Of course it's okay, Kev.

230
00:13:48,869 --> 00:13:52,873
You've always been free to go.
But you will always have a place here.

231
00:14:02,174 --> 00:14:04,385
-What if Lerman doesn't show up?
-He will.

232
00:14:04,468 --> 00:14:07,054
I promised him my first edition copy
of War of the Worlds,

233
00:14:07,763 --> 00:14:10,641
-which is actually a fifth edition.
-[Tabitha] Hey, guys.

234
00:14:10,724 --> 00:14:13,060
[Alice on TV]
Whoever is terrorizing our town,

235
00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:16,480
committing these inhumane murders,

236
00:14:17,064 --> 00:14:18,857
you have to stop.

237
00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:24,655
Every time the phone rings,
I pray it's about my daughter.

238
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:28,284
I pray for closure.

239
00:14:28,367 --> 00:14:29,994
Just today,

240
00:14:30,077 --> 00:14:31,829
another victim was found.

241
00:14:31,912 --> 00:14:34,999
Their dismembered body
is at the Riverdale morgue.

242
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:39,128
What does it say about me
that I want it to be my daughter?

243
00:14:40,963 --> 00:14:43,173
So that this nightmare will end.

244
00:14:43,924 --> 00:14:46,719
[sobbing] So that I can wake up.

245
00:14:46,802 --> 00:14:48,846
-Please.

246
00:14:48,929 --> 00:14:51,056
-Help me wake up.
-[Lerman] Mr. Jones?

247
00:14:51,599 --> 00:14:53,601
Sorry, my bus was late.

248
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:56,562
[Fangs] Rough day, huh?

249
00:14:56,645 --> 00:14:58,856
I'm worried about one of my students.

250
00:14:59,398 --> 00:15:00,232
Britta Beach.

251
00:15:01,191 --> 00:15:02,318
She's gay,

252
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:05,654
and she asked me to be there with her
when she came out to her parents.

253
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:08,574
So I was and--

254
00:15:08,657 --> 00:15:09,575
Let me guess.

255
00:15:09,658 --> 00:15:13,329
They didn't immediately say,
"We love you, no matter what."

256
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:18,292
Nope. They said, "Are you sure?
Do you have to be?"

257
00:15:18,876 --> 00:15:21,003
I'm sorry, Toni. That sucks.

258
00:15:21,086 --> 00:15:21,920
Bigtime.

259
00:15:22,504 --> 00:15:24,298
It's such a lottery, you know?

260
00:15:24,381 --> 00:15:27,718
Who your parents are,
what kind of family you grow up in.

261
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:30,930
It wasn't easy when I came out to my nana.

262
00:15:31,764 --> 00:15:34,433
My dad was harsh when I told him I was bi.

263
00:15:34,516 --> 00:15:38,854
He was like, "Great, you can choose.
So choose being with a woman."

264
00:15:40,939 --> 00:15:43,442
"It's like--
It's not how that works, Dad."

265
00:15:44,151 --> 00:15:44,985
Yeah.

266
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:47,780
Is Britta gonna be okay?

267
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:52,076
I talked her parents off the ledge,
I think.

268
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:55,079
But she's a tough kid.

269
00:15:56,038 --> 00:15:57,289
So I hope so.

270
00:15:57,373 --> 00:15:58,749
And for the record,

271
00:15:59,833 --> 00:16:01,710
no matter what Baby Anthony is,

272
00:16:02,836 --> 00:16:03,921
I'll be ecstatic.

273
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:05,923
Same.

What the heck was that?

[rumbling]

278
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:29,071
-We need to get out of here.
-Eric's working down the tunnel.

279
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:31,281
-Get everyone topside. I'll find Eric.
-Archie!

280
00:16:31,365 --> 00:16:32,783
Guys, get out! Come on!

00:16:32,866 --> 00:16:35,619

-Let's get out of here!

[cell phone buzzing]

284
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,436
What is it, you philistine?
I'm working on my 12 commandments.

285
00:17:02,646 --> 00:17:05,149
Oh, my God, Kev.
How many are still underground?

286
00:17:05,232 --> 00:17:06,525
[phone rings]

287
00:17:06,608 --> 00:17:07,443
Hello?

288
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:09,445
Cheryl, what's up?

289
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:12,823
Oh, my God. I'm on my way.

290
00:17:13,991 --> 00:17:17,119
-[Jughead] Thanks for coming to meet us.
-Not a problem, Mr. Jones.

291
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:21,373
-I felt bad ghosting you like I did.
-That's okay. You're here now.

292
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:24,460
Are you still willing to talk
about that week you went missing?

293
00:17:24,543 --> 00:17:26,253
Yeah. Yeah, I'm ready to.

294
00:17:26,336 --> 00:17:29,173
Any details whatsoever could help
prevent this

295
00:17:29,256 --> 00:17:30,924
from happening to anyone else.

296
00:17:31,008 --> 00:17:32,217
Most of it's fuzzy.

297
00:17:32,301 --> 00:17:35,053
The best I can piece together is,
I was sleepwalking,

298
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:38,015
like I sometimes do,
along the Lonely Highway.

299
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:42,686
Then, the next time I woke up,
I was in this metal shed.

300
00:17:43,353 --> 00:17:47,566
It was small. No windows.
It looked like the inside of a spaceship.

301
00:17:47,649 --> 00:17:50,027
That's how Polly described
where she was to my mom.

302
00:17:50,944 --> 00:17:54,615
-What else do you remember?
-I could hear voices outside.

303
00:17:54,698 --> 00:17:56,325
Voices. Plural?

304
00:17:56,408 --> 00:17:59,953
-Yeah, maybe even a family?
-Were you alone in the shed?

305
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:04,625
Yeah. Till the Mothman came in
and helped me escape.

306
00:18:04,708 --> 00:18:07,920
-The Mothman?
-That's what he called himself.

307
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:11,673
He had red eyes,
one bigger than the other,

308
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,926
or weird red markings on his face.

309
00:18:14,009 --> 00:18:17,429
He said I was a mistake,
that I shouldn't have been caught

310
00:18:17,513 --> 00:18:21,141
and that he was throwing me back the way
you throw a small fish back into a lake.

311
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:25,145
Wait, so he let you go,
he freed you from the shed,

312
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:27,606
then he took you to the Lonely Highway?

313
00:18:27,689 --> 00:18:30,484
He said I better not tell anyone
what had happened

314
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:35,322
-or more Mothmen would come back for me.
-Oh, Lerman, this is very important.

315
00:18:35,405 --> 00:18:37,324
Do you know where the shed is?

316
00:18:37,407 --> 00:18:40,452
No. But it was close
to the Lonely Highway.

317
00:18:40,536 --> 00:18:42,496
-I know that much.
-How do you know that?

318
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:44,498
I could hear trucks rumbling by.

319
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,125
[cell phone dings]

320
00:18:47,042 --> 00:18:49,837
Dr. Curdle has the DNA results.
He wants to tell us in person.

321
00:18:50,337 --> 00:18:53,632
-Kevin, Cheryl, what's the update?
-Been trying Archie's phone and Eric's.

322
00:18:53,715 --> 00:18:56,468
-They're not getting any signal.
-How long will it take to dig them out?

323
00:18:56,552 --> 00:18:59,513
We need more hands.
We need heavy-duty equipment.

324
00:18:59,596 --> 00:19:01,723
And it'll take hours, if not days.

325
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:05,811
Okay. Whatever you need,
no matter the cost, just do it.

326
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:08,397
You said there was an explosion.
What kind?

327
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,399
The kind that was triggered deliberately.

328
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:13,485
Who in their right mind would blow up
a mine on purpose?

329
00:19:15,112 --> 00:19:16,113
I can guess.

330
00:19:19,741 --> 00:19:21,785
[coughing] Jackson.

331
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:30,127
[coughs] You with me, buddy?

332
00:19:31,837 --> 00:19:32,963
I'm here, sarge.

333
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:34,047
Okay, hold on.

334
00:19:38,093 --> 00:19:41,930
Take shallow breaths.
Okay? We need to conserve oxygen.

335
00:19:42,014 --> 00:19:42,848
The others...

336
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:45,934
-did they make it out?
-Yeah.

337
00:19:47,644 --> 00:19:51,356
Yeah, it's just us. But don't worry,
I'm gonna dig us out, okay?

338
00:19:51,899 --> 00:19:53,901
[rumbling]

339
00:19:59,114 --> 00:20:02,284
We ran your DNA
against the most recent victim

340
00:20:02,910 --> 00:20:04,244
and it wasn't a match.

341
00:20:04,328 --> 00:20:06,914
So it's not Polly again.

342
00:20:06,997 --> 00:20:11,710
No. But the body parts were
a match to Lynette Fields.

343
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:13,503
Oh, my God. Squeaky.

344
00:20:14,588 --> 00:20:19,092
There's more, I'm afraid. Your DNA did
come back as a match to another body.

345
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,678
Your tongueless John Doe.

346
00:20:22,554 --> 00:20:24,973
The trucker? How can that be?

347
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:27,935
It seems he's your very distant cousin.

348
00:20:28,977 --> 00:20:30,812
What? No, that's impossible.

349
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:34,650
All of the Coopers are either dead
or accounted for.

350
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:37,611
What about more distant relatives?
The Blossoms?

351
00:20:38,862 --> 00:20:43,367
There's one last thing. When I was
at my lab, the morgue was broken into.

352
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:45,994
The body of the John Doe

353
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:49,373
and the severed limbs
of Lynette Fields were stolen.

354
00:20:49,456 --> 00:20:50,707
They're covering their tracks.

355
00:20:50,791 --> 00:20:54,461
They heard my mom on the news
and came here to steal the evidence.

356
00:20:54,544 --> 00:20:57,631
-Like when our Mothman body was taken.
-Yes.

357
00:20:57,714 --> 00:21:00,759
Yes, it is. Nana Rose gave us
that Mothman that was stolen.

358
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:04,096
Now your prime suspect tests positive
for Blossom DNA.

359
00:21:04,179 --> 00:21:07,724
Lerman was held captive
by a Mothman near the Lonely Highway.

360
00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:11,228
-They're connected. Their connection...
-Is the Blossoms.

361
00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:14,731
You two go. I'm gonna get in touch
with Squeaky's family.

362
00:21:15,899 --> 00:21:19,820
But, guys, when the time comes
to take these monsters down,

363
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:21,571
I want in.

364
00:21:23,657 --> 00:21:26,243
[woman on radio] Two miners,
Archie Andrews and Eric Jackson,

365
00:21:26,326 --> 00:21:28,870
both Army veterans, remain unaccounted for

366
00:21:28,954 --> 00:21:31,790
after the mine collapse
in Riverdale earlier today.

367
00:21:31,873 --> 00:21:33,542
Relief efforts are underway.

368
00:21:33,625 --> 00:21:35,585
The condition of the miners is not yet--

369
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:40,757
[Veronica] Oh, good. You're awake.

370
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:43,135
Mija?

371
00:21:43,218 --> 00:21:46,596
Let's start with the obvious.
I know you're behind the mine explosion.

372
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,641
-Don't bother denying it.
-Untie me immediately.

373
00:21:50,726 --> 00:21:55,063
It's ironic, I keep hearing
the words my guidance counselor said to me

374
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:56,565
way back in high school.

375
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:02,988
That our sick dance of death
could only end with one of us dying.

376
00:22:03,071 --> 00:22:04,865
And now here we are.

377
00:22:04,948 --> 00:22:09,369
Headed straight for an Oedipal tragedy,
set in motion when I was...

378
00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:11,580
a 14-year-old girl.

379
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:13,749
Veronica, stop being so dramatic.

380
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:16,084
Oh, but this story is dramatic, Daddy.

381
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:19,212
The day of my quinceañera.

382
00:22:24,217 --> 00:22:25,719
It was supposed to be...

383
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:32,517
the most important celebratory day
of my young life.

384
00:22:34,352 --> 00:22:38,023
When I overheard you in your study,
talking with some of your friends,

385
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:40,942
telling them I was a disappointment.

386
00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:47,574
That you wished Mom had given you a son
to follow in your footsteps.

387
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:50,452
Oh.

388
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:54,289
How nice, you remember.

389
00:22:56,917 --> 00:22:58,043
Do you know

390
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:02,047
what it does to a 14-year-old girl...

391
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,885
to hear that kind of dismissal
from her own father?

392
00:23:09,012 --> 00:23:14,518
I've spent an entire lifetime
chasing your approval and love.

393
00:23:14,601 --> 00:23:15,602
And for what?

394
00:23:17,145 --> 00:23:19,773
Sociopaths are incapable of love.

395
00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:21,858
[dramatic music playing]

396
00:23:23,610 --> 00:23:24,820
[sobbing]

397
00:23:29,074 --> 00:23:32,661
Which is why I wanna be very clear
with you right now.

398
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:36,748
If Archie dies...

399
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:38,583
you die.

400
00:23:46,341 --> 00:23:47,801
Can you feel it, Daddy?

401
00:23:49,386 --> 00:23:53,765
Our dance of death
is finally coming to an end.

402
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,311
Nana, we need to talk to you
about the Mothmen.

403
00:23:58,395 --> 00:24:00,647
I've told you what I know.

404
00:24:02,149 --> 00:24:04,401
Look at me. Look right at me.

405
00:24:04,484 --> 00:24:05,610
Right now,

406
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:09,030
young women, including my sister,

407
00:24:09,823 --> 00:24:11,950
who was a member of your family,

408
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:14,161
are being abducted,

409
00:24:15,328 --> 00:24:16,997
tortured, and murdered.

410
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:22,460
So focus and answer our questions.

411
00:24:23,336 --> 00:24:27,632
Right. You gave my friend and I
a corpse inside a maple barrel.

412
00:24:29,176 --> 00:24:30,177
Who was it?

413
00:24:30,969 --> 00:24:32,137
The truth, Nana.

414
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,930
I'm ashamed to admit it.

415
00:24:34,472 --> 00:24:36,224
It was Cousin Timothy.

416
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:39,811
I came across his corpse
in the woods after he passed,

417
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:41,980
and I put him in a barrel.

418
00:24:42,063 --> 00:24:45,066
Poor Timothy was born
with so many defects.

419
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:48,445
Okay. Cousin Timothy,
this is a blood relative of yours?

420
00:24:48,528 --> 00:24:52,908
My late husband was
a compulsive philanderer.

421
00:24:53,491 --> 00:24:56,828
He made the beast with every woman
who worked on our estate.

422
00:24:56,912 --> 00:24:59,289
The maids, the cooks, the nannies.

423
00:24:59,372 --> 00:25:01,166
When they swelled with child,

424
00:25:01,249 --> 00:25:04,586
he forced me to pawn them off
to avoid a scandal.

425
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:10,425
But I knew a barren couple
who lived in a cabin in the woods.

426
00:25:10,508 --> 00:25:11,760
The Starkweathers.

427
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:13,637
I gave the children to them.

428
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,472
How many children in total?

429
00:25:15,555 --> 00:25:19,517
Ooh, over the years, half a dozen.

430
00:25:19,601 --> 00:25:23,438
The trucker that I caught,
he must have been one of them.

431
00:25:23,521 --> 00:25:24,522
A Starkweather.

432
00:25:24,606 --> 00:25:27,359
A Blossom, dear. In part.

433
00:25:27,901 --> 00:25:28,735
[Jughead] Nana,

434
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:31,279
you're saying

435
00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:35,909
there is a secret,
illegitimate clan of Blossoms

436
00:25:35,992 --> 00:25:39,704
that have lived in the woods
for two generations?

437
00:25:40,497 --> 00:25:42,332
Why did you call the corpse a Mothman?

438
00:25:42,415 --> 00:25:44,376
The family kept to themselves,

439
00:25:44,459 --> 00:25:47,254
didn't like eyes prying
into their business.

440
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:50,507
So they created a fiction,

441
00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:52,550
the Mothmen,

442
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:56,888
one which we Blossoms were
all too eager to embrace.

443
00:25:58,473 --> 00:26:00,183
Do they still live in the woods?

444
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:03,520
Oh, my, no.
They migrated from there to the mines.

445
00:26:03,603 --> 00:26:07,732
And then when that closed down,
they moved closer to the highway.

446
00:26:08,858 --> 00:26:12,320
Who else has been propagating
the Mothmen idea for decades?

447
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:15,657
-In plain sight, right off the highway?
-Old Man Dreyfuss.

448
00:26:16,449 --> 00:26:19,536
Yes. Dreyfuss Starkweather, yes.

449
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:21,204
Is he still alive?

450
00:26:21,288 --> 00:26:24,165
Oh, my God, Jug,
you and I have both been there.

451
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:26,626
Polly could have been there,
right under our noses.

452
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:27,836
[cell phone dings]

453
00:26:29,296 --> 00:26:31,339
It's Toni. There's an emergency.

454
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:36,219
[indistinct chatter]

455
00:26:46,313 --> 00:26:48,315
[Archie coughing]

456
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,795
Are you still with me, Jackson?

457
00:27:11,546 --> 00:27:12,589
How...?

458
00:27:13,214 --> 00:27:14,424
How we doing, sarge?

459
00:27:15,050 --> 00:27:16,176
Not great.

460
00:27:16,259 --> 00:27:18,470
We're losing a lot of oxygen.

461
00:27:18,553 --> 00:27:19,929
[panting]

462
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:21,181
And a lot of blood.

463
00:27:21,639 --> 00:27:23,350
[coughing]

464
00:27:26,353 --> 00:27:29,064
I have no idea
how we're gonna get out of here.

465
00:27:30,190 --> 00:27:32,359
[Bingo] You don't really believe that,
do you, sergeant?

466
00:27:36,905 --> 00:27:37,739
Bingo.

467
00:27:39,741 --> 00:27:40,992
I thought we were square.

468
00:27:41,618 --> 00:27:44,871
Apparently not.
Apparently, you need a kick in the ass.

469
00:27:45,789 --> 00:27:49,417
You remember back at basic,
during our first PT test,

470
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:53,004
you did double the number of push-ups
or pull-ups as any other guy?

471
00:27:53,088 --> 00:27:55,423
You don't have an ounce of quit in you!

472
00:27:56,758 --> 00:27:58,176
Bingo, I'm only one man.

473
00:27:58,968 --> 00:28:00,470
All due respect, sarge...

474
00:28:01,471 --> 00:28:02,514
no, you're not.

475
00:28:03,473 --> 00:28:05,934
Come on, guys. Double time.

476
00:28:06,017 --> 00:28:08,728
Let's help the sergeant get him
and Corporal Jackson out.

477
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:10,814
[dramatic music playing]

478
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,659
Britta ran away last night.
Her mom called to see if she was here.

479
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:26,454
They got into a fight. When her mom went
to check on her, she was gone.

480
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:29,499
She left a note saying,
"Now you don't have to deal with me."

481
00:28:29,582 --> 00:28:32,502
Did Britta give any indication
as to where she might have gone?

482
00:28:32,585 --> 00:28:35,296
We called her friends.
No one knows anything.

483
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:38,425
If she's trying to get out of Riverdale
using the Lonely Highway,

484
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:40,802
we need to go to that junkyard ASAP.

485
00:28:40,885 --> 00:28:44,097
-You know where the Highway Killer is?
-Killers, yeah. We think.

486
00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:46,641
-But we need a team to go in with us.
-I wanna come.

487
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:50,645
Fangs, you stay here,
in case Britta comes back. Is that okay?

488
00:28:50,728 --> 00:28:52,522
Um, not really, no.

489
00:28:52,605 --> 00:28:54,733
Toni, you're a mother now.

490
00:28:55,316 --> 00:28:57,735
You can't go out on crazy raids anymore--

491
00:28:57,819 --> 00:28:59,279
I have to, Fangs.

492
00:28:59,362 --> 00:29:02,866
Britta came to me for help,
and I saw myself in her.

493
00:29:02,949 --> 00:29:04,367
As for Baby Anthony,

494
00:29:04,451 --> 00:29:06,786
I don't want him to think
that his mom was a coward

495
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:09,789
and that I didn't do everything I could
to help somebody in need.

496
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:13,293
Besides, there's nobody better
to take care of him than you.

497
00:29:13,376 --> 00:29:14,836
Than my mom, you mean?

498
00:29:14,919 --> 00:29:18,173
'Cause if you're going on this raid,
I'm going with you.

499
00:29:18,798 --> 00:29:21,092
I'll be watching your back. No discussion.

500
00:29:21,176 --> 00:29:23,970
Well, how about we watch
each other's backs?

501
00:29:24,637 --> 00:29:25,472
Deal.

502
00:29:27,182 --> 00:29:29,934
Any luck finding a first aid kit in here?

503
00:29:30,018 --> 00:29:31,394
I'm looking, sit down.

504
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:37,442
Veronica. You're stressed, you're injured,
you need to take a break.

505
00:29:37,525 --> 00:29:39,611
Or at least go home, get cleaned up.

506
00:29:39,694 --> 00:29:42,489
I can't go home.
Archie's trapped in a mine.

507
00:29:42,572 --> 00:29:45,074
I know, but you will want
to be your gorgeous self

508
00:29:45,158 --> 00:29:47,035
when Orpheus emerges from the underworld.

509
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:49,704
And probably not with an infected hand.

510
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,791
Trust me. Go get refreshed,
and I'll hold down the fort here.

511
00:29:52,874 --> 00:29:56,377
And not to worry,
I've got some serious backup.

512
00:29:58,046 --> 00:29:59,672
I call upon fire,

513
00:30:00,381 --> 00:30:03,885
which consumed my brother's body
and mighty Thornhill once upon a time.

514
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:07,472
I call upon wind, as I have once before.

515
00:30:08,556 --> 00:30:11,184
Blow a cool gust across Archie's brow.

516
00:30:14,604 --> 00:30:16,064
I call upon water,

517
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:19,609
where I saw my departed brother
in the icy depths of Sweetwater River

518
00:30:19,692 --> 00:30:23,655
and where I, myself, was reborn.

519
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,281
And lastly...

520
00:30:26,866 --> 00:30:28,201
I call upon the earth.

521
00:30:29,869 --> 00:30:33,748
Dear Gaia,
please return Archie and Eric to us.

522
00:30:33,831 --> 00:30:35,208
Open a path for them,

523
00:30:35,291 --> 00:30:37,710
so that they may return
to the land of the living.

524
00:30:44,801 --> 00:30:46,803
[suspenseful music playing]

525
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:00,984
[floorboard creaks]

526
00:31:16,624 --> 00:31:18,626
[dramatic music playing]

527
00:31:50,033 --> 00:31:53,286
Pippi, turn off all the lights
in the apartment.

528
00:31:55,955 --> 00:31:58,708
Pippi, play Wagner.

529
00:31:58,791 --> 00:32:00,084
Full volume.

530
00:32:00,168 --> 00:32:03,171
["The Ride of the Valkyries"

531
00:32:17,810 --> 00:32:19,228

532
00:32:31,532 --> 00:32:33,117
-Miss Veronica?
-[gunshots]

533
00:32:34,661 --> 00:32:38,331
-Pippi, lights on, music off.
-[music stops]

534
00:32:38,414 --> 00:32:39,248
Miss Veronica.

535
00:32:41,751 --> 00:32:42,835
What happened?

536
00:32:43,670 --> 00:32:44,671
Chad broke in...

537
00:32:45,922 --> 00:32:46,923
and attacked me.

538
00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:51,761
-[cell phone ringing]
-Oh!

539
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:56,057
Cheryl, any news?

540
00:33:00,478 --> 00:33:01,646
[door closes]

541
00:33:01,729 --> 00:33:02,981
Came to finish the job?

542
00:33:05,316 --> 00:33:08,236
I can't tell you
how tempting that proposition is.

543
00:33:09,153 --> 00:33:12,407
Then again,
I've already seen blood spilt today.

544
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:14,826
Besides...

545
00:33:16,077 --> 00:33:18,538
unlike you, I stick to my word.

546
00:33:18,621 --> 00:33:20,748
I told you, you'd die if Archie did.

547
00:33:21,457 --> 00:33:24,877
Well, he didn't, Daddy.

548
00:33:26,212 --> 00:33:30,925
Archie is alive, above ground,
and waiting for me.

549
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:34,137
You failed, yet again.

550
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:35,847
[scoffs]

551
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:40,351
You literally dropped a mountain on Archie
and still couldn't kill him.

552
00:33:41,477 --> 00:33:42,311
You know...

553
00:33:43,396 --> 00:33:45,189
I used to admire you...

554
00:33:45,940 --> 00:33:46,774
grudgingly.

555
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:49,026
But I did.

556
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:52,989
But now you're just this...

557
00:33:53,823 --> 00:33:54,907
silly cartoon.

558
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:01,372
I'm not afraid of you anymore.

559
00:34:02,373 --> 00:34:04,208
'Cause you're no longer a threat to me.

560
00:34:04,292 --> 00:34:07,712
But if you ever come after me
or Archie again,

561
00:34:07,795 --> 00:34:09,422
you'll end up getting shot.

562
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:13,217
-Just like Chad did today.
-What?

563
00:34:13,843 --> 00:34:15,887
Call Dr. Curdle for the details.

564
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:17,889
Bye, you little bitch.

565
00:34:18,973 --> 00:34:23,436
Jughead, you're gonna distract Dreyfuss
while the rest of us search the junkyard.

566
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:26,606
If Britta is being kept in the place
my sister and Lerman were held,

567
00:34:26,689 --> 00:34:29,609
we're looking
for some kind of windowless shed.

568
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:33,112
-You know how to use a stun gun?
-I'm from Chicago, yes.

569
00:34:33,196 --> 00:34:35,156
-Jughead? You good?
-Yeah.

570
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,991
-I'm good.
-We're ready, then?

571
00:34:37,575 --> 00:34:38,409
Jug, you're up.

572
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:41,329
The rest of us, let's split off,
so we can cover more ground.

573
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:42,914
[knocking on door]

574
00:34:45,541 --> 00:34:46,584
You again.

575
00:34:46,667 --> 00:34:49,921
Hey, Mr. Dreyfuss,
I'm so sorry to drop by unannounced.

576
00:34:50,004 --> 00:34:51,547
I just got back into town.

577
00:34:51,631 --> 00:34:54,926
I was hoping you and I could continue
our conversation about the Mothmen.

578
00:34:55,009 --> 00:34:56,677
Let me grab some moonshine.

579
00:34:56,761 --> 00:34:59,889
Actually, it's a little cold.
Mind if we talk inside?

580
00:35:02,141 --> 00:35:03,351
Don't mind the mess.

581
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:07,438
[suspenseful music playing]

582
00:35:12,068 --> 00:35:14,946
-Live here alone?
-Yep. Just me.

583
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:17,115
No family, huh?

584
00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:21,410
I thought
we were gonna discuss the Mothmen.

585
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:25,790
But they are your family,
aren't they, Mr. Starkweather?

586
00:35:28,334 --> 00:35:30,920
I wondered
if we were gonna have trouble with you.

587
00:35:35,258 --> 00:35:37,969
-How much have you figured out?
-Not all of it.

588
00:35:38,678 --> 00:35:41,931
-Do you mind if I take a stab at it?
-Be my guest.

589
00:35:42,014 --> 00:35:45,143
The Mothman corpse we had at Pop's,

590
00:35:46,102 --> 00:35:49,438
that was, uh, Timothy, your half-brother.

591
00:35:50,231 --> 00:35:53,609
You took it. You must have overheard
Tabitha and I talking about it

592
00:35:53,693 --> 00:35:56,904
when you came to pick up
your Thursday night order of pork chops.

593
00:35:57,530 --> 00:35:59,407
And you did, we have receipts.

594
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:01,993
You also stole the bodies from the morgue.

595
00:36:03,619 --> 00:36:04,871
It was another brother...

596
00:36:05,913 --> 00:36:09,250
who swallowed his own tongue
just to keep your secret.

597
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:11,627
Which is what, to your thinking?

598
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:14,797
That you and your inbred brothers

599
00:36:15,464 --> 00:36:18,509
drive up and down the Lonely Highway,
searching for women to murder.

600
00:36:20,136 --> 00:36:23,890
Lerman, he was an outlier
because it's women that you're after.

601
00:36:24,682 --> 00:36:25,683
[branch snaps]

602
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:27,185
Why?

603
00:36:27,894 --> 00:36:29,020
[Dreyfuss] To survive.

604
00:36:29,812 --> 00:36:34,108
So we started going after the people
that no one would miss.

605
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:35,735
Runaways...

606
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:39,280
sex workers, drug addicts.

607
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:43,409
[Jughead] To, what, steal from them?
Those people couldn't have had much money.

608
00:36:43,492 --> 00:36:45,161
You're right, of course.

609
00:36:45,244 --> 00:36:47,288
But we don't need much to survive.

610
00:36:48,122 --> 00:36:51,709
Anyway, after a while,
it wasn't about that.

611
00:36:53,461 --> 00:36:54,962
It was about...

612
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:55,880
The hunt?

613
00:36:57,256 --> 00:36:59,759
-The sport of it all?
-Yep.

614
00:37:00,426 --> 00:37:02,637
[Jughead] So the Mothman story,
that was just a cover?

615
00:37:03,262 --> 00:37:06,057
Just a spooky, little tale
to keep people away

616
00:37:06,140 --> 00:37:07,892
from all the disappearances.

617
00:37:08,976 --> 00:37:13,356
And if someone goes missing, then maybe
they were taken up in an alien spaceship.

618
00:37:15,024 --> 00:37:17,360
People believe what they wanna believe.

619
00:37:17,985 --> 00:37:19,820
Nobody cared about those girls.

620
00:37:20,696 --> 00:37:21,572
Oh.

621
00:37:22,573 --> 00:37:24,283
You are so wrong about that.

622
00:37:26,285 --> 00:37:27,578
-Britta?
-[Britta] Miss Topaz?

623
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:30,414
I'm gonna get you out. Hold on.

624
00:37:30,498 --> 00:37:32,208

00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:06,993
Wanna test that armor
against a point-blank shotgun blast?

630
00:38:10,413 --> 00:38:11,580
Didn't think so.

631
00:38:12,748 --> 00:38:14,125
[snarls]

632
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,420

635
00:38:30,099 --> 00:38:31,308
Betty, are you okay?

636
00:38:31,809 --> 00:38:35,604
-I heard you scream. What happened?
-We found Britta. She's fine.

637
00:38:35,688 --> 00:38:37,523
-Scared but fine.
-Okay.

638
00:38:37,606 --> 00:38:40,860
Remember what you told us about Lerman,
how a Mothman helped him escape?

639
00:38:41,777 --> 00:38:45,114
Apparently, not all Starkweathers
are evil incarnate.

640
00:38:45,197 --> 00:38:46,574
[Betty] Oh, my God. Britta.

00:38:52,121 --> 00:38:53,622
Oh, my God. Jughead.

643
00:38:57,168 --> 00:38:58,961
-Are you okay?
-Yeah. I'm fine.

644
00:38:59,045 --> 00:39:01,505
He tried to chew his tongue off
and choke on it.

645
00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:05,259
-Not before he answers our questions.
-Your hunting days are over, you sick--

646
00:39:07,428 --> 00:39:08,429
How does it feel?

647
00:39:09,013 --> 00:39:11,015
My foot? Like it's on fire.

648
00:39:12,058 --> 00:39:14,185
The rest of me? Like I'm a complete ass.

649
00:39:14,268 --> 00:39:17,480
Who would have known
we were walking into The Hills Have Eyes?

650
00:39:17,563 --> 00:39:18,564
Toni...

651
00:39:21,442 --> 00:39:24,028
we can do this, right?

652
00:39:26,364 --> 00:39:27,365
Like, all of us?

653
00:39:28,949 --> 00:39:29,784
Oh, yeah.

654
00:39:30,701 --> 00:39:31,827
We got this.

655
00:39:32,536 --> 00:39:36,957
You and me,
just watching each other's backs.

656
00:39:40,336 --> 00:39:42,338
[tender music playing]

657
00:39:44,590 --> 00:39:46,926
Not even the earth swallowing you whole

658
00:39:47,468 --> 00:39:49,970
could keep us
from this moment, Archiekins.

659
00:39:51,889 --> 00:39:55,267
Another brush with death
to add to your ever-growing list.

660
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,771
Your guardian angel deserves a raise.

661
00:39:59,271 --> 00:40:00,815
More than one, Ronnie.

662
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:21,585
Mr. Starkweather,
I've spoken to my colleagues at the FBI,

663
00:40:21,669 --> 00:40:24,463
and they'll be here soon to take you
and your brothers away.

664
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:27,508
But before that happens...

665
00:40:29,718 --> 00:40:34,140
I would very much appreciate it
if you would tell me where my sister is.

666
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:40,104
Please tell me.

667
00:40:47,027 --> 00:40:48,362
She's in the junkyard.

668
00:40:50,197 --> 00:40:51,449
I can draw you a map.
