1
00:00:00,834 --> 00:00:03,420
[Jughead] The fog had cleared,
and the world had changed.

2
00:00:04,629 --> 00:00:06,923
For Betty and Archie,
results of her pregnancy test

3
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,383
had come with mixed emotions.

4
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:11,928
All tinged with a hint
of what might have been.

5
00:00:12,011 --> 00:00:13,596
I'm relieved.

6
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:20,645
Are you? What would we have done
if there had been two lines on that thing?

7
00:00:21,479 --> 00:00:23,022
There would've been a lot to figure out.

8
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:28,611
Starting with how do you raise a kid
without totally screwing them up?

9
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:30,905
Look at the examples I had. My mom...

10
00:00:31,823 --> 00:00:34,617
is my mom,
and my dad was a serial killer. So...

11
00:00:36,161 --> 00:00:40,874
Does the opposite of what my mom
and dad did count as a parenting style?

12
00:00:42,625 --> 00:00:46,421
I don't know. I think we would've
gotten the hang of it together.

13
00:00:48,256 --> 00:00:49,632
Are you disappointed?

14
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:53,094
Look, I know that timing
is completely wrong.

15
00:00:54,262 --> 00:00:56,014
But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't...

16
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,684
a bit excited about the idea
of starting a new life with you.

17
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:03,521
Everything has been so dark.
A baby would have been...

18
00:01:05,648 --> 00:01:06,483
a light.

19
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,320
My dad loved being a young dad.

20
00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:13,239
He talked about it all the time.

21
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:17,243
Your dad was the world's best father.

22
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:19,412
-No question.
-Yeah.

23
00:01:19,496 --> 00:01:21,289
[pensive music playing]

24
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,793
It'll happen. Someday.

25
00:01:26,085 --> 00:01:29,964
Maybe the universe just wants us
to stop the bad guys first.

26
00:01:33,134 --> 00:01:34,886
[Jughead] For Veronica and Reggie,

27
00:01:34,969 --> 00:01:37,138
the new day dawned
with bitterness and bile.

28
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:40,183
Don't forget this. You definitely
won't be waking up here anymore.

29
00:01:41,351 --> 00:01:43,978
-So it's like that?
-The more I think about what you said

30
00:01:44,062 --> 00:01:48,149
the other night, giving me ultimatums,
the less well it sits with me.

31
00:01:48,233 --> 00:01:49,901
Especially since you stole from us.

32
00:01:49,984 --> 00:01:51,486
For the record, Ronnie,

33
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:55,532
I was going to share the income
from the satellite casino.

34
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:58,910
Sure. You know, I've really been trying

35
00:01:58,993 --> 00:02:01,496
to see this
from your point of view, but...

36
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:04,916
I can't seem to get my head
that far up my ass.

37
00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:07,752
You know what?
Good thing I'm getting out now.

38
00:02:08,253 --> 00:02:09,963
I wouldn't wanna end up dead.

39
00:02:11,005 --> 00:02:14,259
-What is that supposed to mean?
-First Chad, then Hiram.

40
00:02:14,342 --> 00:02:17,720
What was it they called you?
"The Black Widow of Wall Street."

41
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:18,805
Hmm.

42
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:23,560
Unless you're ready to hear the long list
of names I'd like to call you,

43
00:02:23,643 --> 00:02:25,311
-quit while you're ahead.
-Go for it.

44
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:29,023
You've never spared my feelings before.
Plus, now you can hook up with Heraldo.

45
00:02:29,107 --> 00:02:31,651
Oh, my God. With who? Heraldo?

46
00:02:31,734 --> 00:02:33,778
I saw how you guys looked at each other.

47
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:37,156
-You'll text him soon as I leave.
-You're flailing. It's pathetic.

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,119
Whatever. First it was Archie,
then it was me,

49
00:02:41,744 --> 00:02:43,079
then it was Archie,

50
00:02:43,162 --> 00:02:44,330
then it was Chad,

51
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:45,832
then it was Archie,

52
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:49,586
and then you came back to me
without a break.

53
00:02:50,336 --> 00:02:51,212
You...

54
00:02:53,798 --> 00:02:55,300
You can't be alone.

55
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,137
It's not in your nature.

56
00:03:01,055 --> 00:03:02,098
Hmm.

57
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:15,445
[Jughead] As for us,
Tabitha was in Albany working to get Pop's

58
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:19,824
declared a historical landmark,
and I, like so many of us, was waiting.

59
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:23,953
Percival was Riverdale's
new self-appointed mayor.

60
00:03:24,621 --> 00:03:27,123
What would Percival's
first move be, we wondered.

61
00:03:27,707 --> 00:03:30,668
Though, when it came,
I admit we were all caught off-guard.

62
00:03:31,169 --> 00:03:33,796
-The hell are you guys doing here?
-We're here on behalf

63
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,673
of Riverdale Public Library.

64
00:03:36,424 --> 00:03:38,176
It's closing. You might have heard.

65
00:03:39,344 --> 00:03:41,262
Huh. Why?

66
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:44,599
Eventually it'll be a hotel
to service the new railway.

67
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:49,812
"Riverdale, a town
without a public library." Nice.

68
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:52,857
I've been going
over the library's outstanding accounts,

69
00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:56,069
tracking down books
that were never returned

70
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:59,072
and, according to my records,
you have an outstanding copy

71
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:01,991
of Kafka's The Metamorphosis,
you little intellectual.

72
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:06,788
What? I must have checked
that book out like ten years ago.

73
00:04:06,871 --> 00:04:08,164
May I have it please?

74
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:10,541
Are you serious?

75
00:04:12,877 --> 00:04:15,964
I was homeless ten years ago.
I have no idea where that thing is.

76
00:04:16,547 --> 00:04:19,384
Let me pay you the fee
and you can replace it.

77
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:22,679
The late fees are in the thousands
of dollars by now, Mr. Jones,

78
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:24,764
and it was a very particular edition.

79
00:04:24,847 --> 00:04:27,558
Any replacement would have to be
that exact version, and...

80
00:04:28,351 --> 00:04:29,686
it's out of print.

81
00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:32,355
If you're shutting down the library,
why do you need this book?

82
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:36,067
It's the principle.
I mean, that book is property of the town.

83
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:37,860
Currently, stolen property.

84
00:04:38,486 --> 00:04:40,488
Just replace it
and all fees will be waived.

85
00:04:40,571 --> 00:04:42,407
Fine. I'll look for it.

86
00:04:42,490 --> 00:04:45,034
Do. In the meantime, I'll need collateral.

87
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:48,037
Um, how about this?

88
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:50,123
[ominous music playing]

89
00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:54,585
No. My grandfather wrote that
and gave it to me.

90
00:04:54,669 --> 00:04:56,713
It's inscribed. Take, um--

91
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:57,714
Oh, yes.

92
00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:00,049
Take the signed first edition
of DeLillo's Underworld.

93
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,510
Nope. This is the item we require.
Right, gentlemen?

94
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:03,970
[gun cocks]

95
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:06,806
But fair is fair, Mr. Jones.

96
00:05:07,306 --> 00:05:10,268
Find the book you owe the town,
you get yours back.

97
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:12,937
[Jughead] And, surprise, surprise,

98
00:05:13,021 --> 00:05:16,983
mine wasn't the only home visited
in search of overdue library books.

99
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:19,610
[Percival]
According to my records, Mr. Andrews,

100
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:22,905
you checked out Songwriting From the Heart

101
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:24,115
and never returned it.

102
00:05:24,198 --> 00:05:26,659
Yeah, I borrowed that book
when I was in high school.

103
00:05:27,744 --> 00:05:31,372
On the recommendation
of your music teacher, Geraldine Grundy.

104
00:05:33,624 --> 00:05:36,669
Uh, maybe.
I have no clue where that book is.

105
00:05:36,753 --> 00:05:40,715
You'd need to replace the book
with a copy from the same edition,

106
00:05:40,798 --> 00:05:43,885
and I think that publisher's
gone out of business.

107
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:51,225
This is ridiculous. Sure.
I'll find a copy of the book for you.

108
00:05:51,309 --> 00:05:52,143
Good man.

109
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:54,812
Until then, I'll need collateral,

110
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:57,106
something so I know
you're taking me seriously.

111
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:59,025
How about...

112
00:06:00,651 --> 00:06:01,778
that guitar?

113
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:04,739
The one Miss Grundy taught you on
feels appropriate, doesn't it?

114
00:06:07,158 --> 00:06:10,620
If you touch one more thing,
I'll break both of your arms.

115
00:06:11,412 --> 00:06:15,124
This little nugget says different.
Excuse me.

116
00:06:19,587 --> 00:06:21,672
We won't take up too much of your time.

117
00:06:21,756 --> 00:06:26,219
We're looking for an overdue library book
of yours, Kiss of the Spider Woman

118
00:06:26,844 --> 00:06:27,804
by Manuel Puig.

119
00:06:28,596 --> 00:06:30,181
What, are you the library police?

120
00:06:30,264 --> 00:06:34,143
With a book as overdue as this, the late
fees run into the thousands of dollars.

121
00:06:36,145 --> 00:06:38,064
Just tell me how much I owe you.

122
00:06:38,731 --> 00:06:43,486
Um-- Well, if the book is lost, you could
be charged with a misdemeanor,

123
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:45,279
subject to jail time.

124
00:06:45,947 --> 00:06:47,907
But late fees will be waived--

125
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:49,992
-If I find the book?
-Yes.

126
00:06:51,077 --> 00:06:52,370
I'll try to track it down.

127
00:06:52,453 --> 00:06:55,873
Good. In the meantime,
we'll just take that as collateral.

128
00:06:57,458 --> 00:06:58,584
Knock yourself out.

129
00:06:59,794 --> 00:07:03,422
-[Cheryl] Flowers in the Attic?
-By V.C. Andrews.

130
00:07:04,048 --> 00:07:06,634
Yeah, I know who wrote it,
you crumpet-eating buffoon.

131
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:08,970
Do you have it, Miss Blossom?

132
00:07:10,012 --> 00:07:13,516
The last time I read that book,
I was with an old friend

133
00:07:13,599 --> 00:07:17,770
who I haven't seen in a very long time.
I believe she must have it.

134
00:07:17,854 --> 00:07:19,647
Yes, Heather, wasn't it?

135
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:21,983
[ominous music playing]

136
00:07:22,066 --> 00:07:24,402
-How did you know that?
-I'm perceptive.

137
00:07:25,445 --> 00:07:29,782
Well, until you find it or an exact copy
of it, I'll need some collateral.

138
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:31,367
Um, how about...

139
00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:33,202
Oh.

140
00:07:33,661 --> 00:07:34,745
That trunk?

141
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,710
-You can't have that.
-I'll take the trunk.

142
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,378
Or you to the stocks.

143
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,299
We haven't spent
much quality time together yet,

144
00:07:46,382 --> 00:07:49,260
but I should warn you,
you're playing with fire.

145
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:52,972
And would you burn all of us,
Miss Blossom?

146
00:07:53,055 --> 00:07:54,974
No. Just you.

147
00:07:55,057 --> 00:07:58,978
Indeed. Which is why my men
have a very specific instruction

148
00:07:59,061 --> 00:08:01,314
if I get even the least bit flushed:

149
00:08:02,315 --> 00:08:03,441
"Aim for her head."

150
00:08:06,569 --> 00:08:08,905
Take the trunk, but I have to empty it.

151
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,990
No. I'll take the trunk and its contents,

152
00:08:11,073 --> 00:08:14,202
but don't worry,
we'll take very good care of your brother.

153
00:08:16,579 --> 00:08:17,663
[cell phone ringing]

154
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:21,959
-Hey, Mom. What's up?
-Hey, honey.

155
00:08:22,043 --> 00:08:25,338
Remember that book, Small Engine Repairs,
you checked out of the library?

156
00:08:25,421 --> 00:08:28,341
You mean when I was 12? Vaguely.

157
00:08:28,424 --> 00:08:31,636
Mayor Pickens is collecting
all overdue library books.

158
00:08:33,221 --> 00:08:35,598
It might be in my room somewhere.

159
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:37,516
No, I checked. It's not there.

160
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,520
You'll need to find it
or at least an exact copy.

161
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,271
I gave him your diary as collateral.

162
00:08:43,940 --> 00:08:44,815
You did what?

163
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:47,318
Aren't you glad I didn't let you burn
that last one?

164
00:08:47,401 --> 00:08:50,696
So I'm cooking yummy beef stroganoff
for dinner. How does that--?

165
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,031
[cell phone clicks]

166
00:08:52,114 --> 00:08:54,116
[dramatic music playing]

167
00:08:55,451 --> 00:08:57,578
[Percival] You remember, it's a workbook.

168
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:00,373
That teaches children with dyslexia
how to read.

169
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:02,583
Give me a sec.

170
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:03,751
Mm.

171
00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:13,094
Ha!

172
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:19,642
Fifteen years after it was checked out,
you actually still have it.

173
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:21,269
I'm impressed, Mr. Mantle.

174
00:09:22,144 --> 00:09:26,190
I've long suspected
there's more than meets the eye with you.

175
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:28,985
So what?
Do I have to pay a fine or something?

176
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:32,863
Oh, no. We'll just leave the matter
of your debt for another day.

177
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:39,662
[Jughead] By nightfall,
we realized that Percival and his goons

178
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:41,038
had paid us all a visit.

179
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:43,207
So I convened a meeting.

180
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:46,961
My father pulled off
some pretty bizarre villainy in his day,

181
00:09:47,044 --> 00:09:49,130
but shutting down a library?

182
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:51,882
There is a purpose
behind what Percival is doing.

183
00:09:51,966 --> 00:09:54,969
Books promote ideas and free thinking.

184
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:57,221
They're terrifying objects
to would-be despots like him.

185
00:09:57,305 --> 00:10:00,266
If people stop reading
and thinking and dreaming,

186
00:10:00,349 --> 00:10:02,810
it's easier for them
to just follow Percival.

187
00:10:02,893 --> 00:10:06,188
But shaking us down
for overdue library books

188
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:09,650
with goons and guns?
What is so special about our books?

189
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:11,027
We're the agitators.

190
00:10:11,110 --> 00:10:13,487
Maybe it's a distraction
for his next move.

191
00:10:13,571 --> 00:10:15,072
He's not interested in the money.

192
00:10:15,823 --> 00:10:18,784
Though, he did threaten to arrest me
if I didn't find my book.

193
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:22,330
Have you heard of people being thrown
in jail for an overdue library book?

194
00:10:22,413 --> 00:10:23,414
[Jughead] Yeah, actually.

195
00:10:23,497 --> 00:10:27,752
Some states consider the failure
to return library books as theft.

196
00:10:27,835 --> 00:10:29,337
[ominous music playing]

197
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:32,798
-Well, I have no idea where my book is.
-Yeah, me neither.

198
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:36,260
I lent a bunch of my books to Doc,
my friend on Sketch Alley.

199
00:10:36,844 --> 00:10:41,223
And then Percival suggested that he
and the other unhoused just leave.

200
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:43,642
They could be anywhere, so could my book.

201
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:47,980
Cheryl? You've been pretty quiet.

202
00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:53,110
Methinks there's a whiff
of sorcery about all of this.

203
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:56,197
Books are objects of immense power.

204
00:10:57,365 --> 00:10:59,325
Every reader imprints
on the book they read.

205
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:02,328
Every book changes the reader in some way.

206
00:11:03,704 --> 00:11:06,874
If Percival knows what books
we read during our formative years...

207
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:11,921
my mind reels at what he might do
with that secret, forbidden knowledge.

208
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,548
[Kevin] I can't believe
they gave these things up.

209
00:11:14,632 --> 00:11:16,384
[Percival] Men with guns, Kevin.

210
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:18,552
The most potent form of persuasion.

211
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:21,138
Yeah, but all this for library books?

212
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:27,478
Oh, Kevin. If you steal from a town,
even if it's just a paperback,

213
00:11:28,270 --> 00:11:32,024
you tear at that town's civic fabric,
its sense of order.

214
00:11:32,983 --> 00:11:34,318
We must hold the line.

215
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:38,656
Especially against these demagogues
and how they claim to love Riverdale.

216
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:41,659
To want to save it, to fight for it.

217
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:46,872
But can anything be worse than stealing
from the very place you profess to love?

218
00:11:47,498 --> 00:11:48,624
They're hypocrites.

219
00:11:49,583 --> 00:11:51,710
And we must punish them accordingly.

220
00:11:53,170 --> 00:11:55,589
That and test their psychological mettle.

221
00:11:57,550 --> 00:12:00,010
You're not gonna hurt them, are you?

222
00:12:00,094 --> 00:12:01,762
[ominous music playing]

223
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:02,972
Doubting me, Kevin?

224
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:04,765
It's interesting.

225
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:06,976
Because according to my records,

226
00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:09,019
there's still one more book
left to collect.

227
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:11,230
Lord of the Flies.

228
00:12:11,313 --> 00:12:15,776
And unless I'm very much mistaken,
the last person to check that out was you.

229
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:18,988
-I loved that book as a kid.
-Then, find it.

230
00:12:19,697 --> 00:12:22,324
And bring it unto me. Now.

231
00:12:23,617 --> 00:12:27,788
I still have work to do tonight.
I don't want any naysayers in my midst.

232
00:12:35,379 --> 00:12:36,547
[door closes]

233
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:41,760
[speaking in Latin]

234
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,401
[dramatic music playing]

235
00:13:13,083 --> 00:13:14,126
Oh, my God.

236
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:17,087
-What's so funny?
-Say it ain't so, sarge.

237
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:20,758
You played guitar
at the variety show and sang?

238
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,137
That was about a million years ago.
What are you doing with that yearbook?

239
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:29,475
-I found it on a table in the library.
-Put it away. It's time for class.

240
00:13:35,606 --> 00:13:36,565
What do you got?

241
00:13:38,108 --> 00:13:40,069
-Hey, kid.
-Uh...

242
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:42,112
I've got nothing.

243
00:13:44,782 --> 00:13:45,616
I'm out.

244
00:13:45,699 --> 00:13:47,701
[pensive music playing]

245
00:13:58,087 --> 00:13:59,213
[Marsha] Agent Cooper?

246
00:13:59,296 --> 00:14:02,800
This is the latest profile
the psychologist came up with for TBK.

247
00:14:03,926 --> 00:14:06,720
Intelligent, antisocial, highly skilled,

248
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:09,223
lacking empathy, likely a loner.

249
00:14:10,724 --> 00:14:13,519
They couldn't be more boilerplate
if they tried.

250
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:16,689
Ugh. What is that smell?

251
00:14:18,482 --> 00:14:20,609
Oh, my God.
I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

252
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:24,238
It's bleach, I think.
Should I get you some water?

253
00:14:32,621 --> 00:14:35,499
-Dad?
-Agent Cooper?

254
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:38,502
You all right?

255
00:14:40,671 --> 00:14:44,049
[Veronica] Hello, Heraldo.
I'm calling to check in about my abuelita.

256
00:14:44,133 --> 00:14:48,512
-[Heraldo] Seems to be doing fine. Why?
-Actually, Heraldo, can I call you back?

257
00:14:50,514 --> 00:14:52,891
Nope. Not today, spider.

258
00:14:52,975 --> 00:14:54,977
[ominous music playing]

259
00:15:06,155 --> 00:15:09,491
[Jughead] I spent the morning
on my laptop. Not writing, no.

260
00:15:09,575 --> 00:15:12,119
Hunting. For copies of The Metamorphosis.

261
00:15:13,704 --> 00:15:16,123
Which is when I noticed
that my fingers were bleeding.

262
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:24,798
Miss Cooper. Are you by any chance here
to return your book, Small Engine Repairs?

263
00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:28,844
No, but my mom had no right
to give you my diary, so I want it back.

264
00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:35,059
What are you--?
What are you doing with this?

265
00:15:35,809 --> 00:15:40,230
Oh. Just a bit of cleaning.
Did you know, Miss Cooper,

266
00:15:40,314 --> 00:15:44,485
there is no more powerful memory trigger
than a potent scent?

267
00:15:44,568 --> 00:15:47,738
Isn't it fascinating
what the mind is susceptible to?

268
00:15:47,821 --> 00:15:50,574
Imagine a normal household item
like bleach

269
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:53,827
unlocking a door
that hadn't been opened in years.

270
00:15:54,411 --> 00:15:56,038
What's behind it, I wonder.

271
00:15:56,747 --> 00:15:58,248
Some crippling secret.

272
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,251
Give me my diary.

273
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:02,795
No.

274
00:16:04,505 --> 00:16:06,840
I could maybe let you read it here.

275
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:11,428
I have a wonderful reading nook,
and my men would help you get settled.

276
00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:16,225
Fine.

277
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:22,815
[woman giggling]

278
00:16:23,273 --> 00:16:25,275
[ominous music playing]

279
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:46,005
Hello?

280
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:51,010
Is someone there?

281
00:17:00,102 --> 00:17:00,936
Heather?

282
00:17:13,073 --> 00:17:15,284
Heather? Is that you?

283
00:17:27,296 --> 00:17:30,007
-Flowers in the attic, indeed.
-[school bell ringing]

284
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:36,180
[melancholy melody playing on cello]

285
00:17:59,703 --> 00:18:00,788
Miss Grundy?

286
00:18:04,208 --> 00:18:06,210
[dramatic music playing]

287
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:26,605
[Jughead] It was like something
out of a David Cronenberg movie.

288
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:31,944
My hands were getting itchier,
rawer, more painful.

289
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:35,155
I was either coming down
with a horrible case of eczema

290
00:18:35,239 --> 00:18:37,950
or I was turning into a cockroach
like in The Metamorphosis.

291
00:18:38,033 --> 00:18:39,910
Either way, I had to find that book.

292
00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:42,496
Bro, I need my book back.
When I was a kid,

293
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:45,457
I was diagnosed with dyslexia,
that book taught me how to read.

294
00:18:46,083 --> 00:18:48,627
I never thought I'd need it again,
but I do.

295
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:50,754
So please, can I have it?

296
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:53,507
No. But can I interest you

297
00:18:53,590 --> 00:18:58,262
in this very fine
limited edition Glamourge Egg?

298
00:18:58,345 --> 00:19:01,682
-Why would I want that?
-Doesn't Miss Lodge collect them?

299
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:05,227
Yeah, but we just broke up. It was brutal.

300
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:09,439
Maybe, in that case,
the egg could serve as a parting blow.

301
00:19:10,732 --> 00:19:12,234
I just want my book back.

302
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,238
Take the egg to Veronica. [echoes]

303
00:19:17,030 --> 00:19:21,451
And then maybe we can discuss your book
and any other opportunities.

304
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:24,288
You strike me as the sort of man
who's always on the lookout

305
00:19:24,371 --> 00:19:26,582
for the next great opportunity.

306
00:19:34,298 --> 00:19:35,841
I had an episode today.

307
00:19:37,718 --> 00:19:41,013
I was working the TBK case
at the FBI office,

308
00:19:41,096 --> 00:19:43,807
and there was a janitor there
mopping the floor with bleach,

309
00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:47,144
and I had
a visceral response to the smell.

310
00:19:48,103 --> 00:19:49,646
I mean, I almost threw up.

311
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,110
-And I saw a flash of my father.
-Oh, my God.

312
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:59,656
Yeah, the smell dislodged something in me.
Like a memory.

313
00:20:00,324 --> 00:20:01,742
So I went to Percival's shop

314
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:04,703
to get my diary back
so I could confirm it.

315
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:06,538
And did you get it back?

316
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,207
No, but I read it.

317
00:20:09,291 --> 00:20:10,709
And there was something.

318
00:20:11,418 --> 00:20:13,045
It was an entry from when I was 12.

319
00:20:13,128 --> 00:20:15,047
At the time,
I didn't think anything of it,

320
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:18,842
but that's when I checked out
Small Engine Repairs from the library.

321
00:20:18,926 --> 00:20:21,011
I couldn't get enough of that book.

322
00:20:21,094 --> 00:20:22,512
And one night, I was so excited

323
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:26,850
to show my dad what I'd learned
about spark plugs and carburetors,

324
00:20:27,351 --> 00:20:29,227
I went down to the garage.

325
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:31,730
[ominous music playing]

326
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:37,903
Daddy, what are you doing?

327
00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:40,489
Oh. Just a little cleanup.

328
00:20:42,991 --> 00:20:44,076
What's that smell?

329
00:20:45,577 --> 00:20:47,079
Oh, that? That's bleach.

330
00:20:49,039 --> 00:20:52,251
Yeah, Mommy uses that sometimes.
It's a disinfectant.

331
00:20:52,334 --> 00:20:55,963
It can get dirty working on cars,
so good to keep some handy.

332
00:20:56,046 --> 00:20:57,714
And it covers up everything.

333
00:20:58,632 --> 00:21:02,302
[Betty] Looking back on it now,
it seems so obvious.

334
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:06,264
We had never known precisely
when my dad started killing people,

335
00:21:06,348 --> 00:21:08,141
but I'm thinking about it now.

336
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:12,604
And when I was a little girl,
I was smelling the bleach my dad was using

337
00:21:12,688 --> 00:21:16,233
to scrub the blood of his victims
out of our family car.

338
00:21:16,316 --> 00:21:17,651
It was right there.

339
00:21:17,734 --> 00:21:20,404
It was right under my nose.
And I missed it.

340
00:21:21,071 --> 00:21:22,864
Betty, you were 12 years old.

341
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:24,199
And he was your dad.

342
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:27,244
Every child
should be able to trust their parent.

343
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,623
Well, Percival
knows what he's doing, Archie.

344
00:21:32,916 --> 00:21:38,088
I mean, playing these mind games with me
and making me relive these things.

345
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:42,217
Anything weird happen to you today?

346
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:46,304
Nothing. Nothing I wanna talk about.

347
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:49,599
This is not a good feeling.

348
00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:54,563
It's like someone's picking
through my brain with dirty fingers.

349
00:21:55,647 --> 00:21:57,649
[pensive music playing]

350
00:22:02,404 --> 00:22:03,238
Hey.

351
00:22:04,031 --> 00:22:04,948
Hi there.

352
00:22:05,032 --> 00:22:06,158
Uh...

353
00:22:06,616 --> 00:22:09,995
My name's Jughead Jones.
I used to live on the alley here.

354
00:22:11,204 --> 00:22:12,497
-Hank.
-Hi, Hank.

355
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:14,833
I was hoping that you could help me.

356
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:18,920
Bunch of people used to live here,
including a friend of mine named Doc.

357
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:25,135
-Yeah, I know Doc.
-Know what happened to him and the others?

358
00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:31,767
A man came, British,
and gathered us up, Doc included.

359
00:22:31,850 --> 00:22:35,979
Told us to start walking west
and not to stop until we hit the ocean.

360
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:38,732
And that's what everyone did.

361
00:22:39,232 --> 00:22:42,069
Gathered their things and started walking.

362
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:44,780
Like they had no choice.

363
00:22:45,989 --> 00:22:49,117
-Why didn't you go?
-The man said walk.

364
00:22:49,201 --> 00:22:51,244
That's the one thing I can't do.

365
00:22:53,288 --> 00:22:54,831
Doc has something of mine.

366
00:22:55,415 --> 00:23:00,253
It's, um, a book, and I actually need it.
You don't know where he ended up, do you?

367
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:03,465
-Or how I can get this message to him?
-Yeah.

368
00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:08,637
I may have the number
for a payphone in Venice Beach.

369
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,554
Venice--?

370
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:11,640
Like, California?

371
00:23:12,307 --> 00:23:14,309
The man said, "Head west."

372
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:19,231
-[Veronica] Reggie dropped this off?
-He did, Miss Veronica.

373
00:23:20,690 --> 00:23:21,733
[Veronica] Huh.

374
00:23:22,317 --> 00:23:26,571
Fascinating. Oh, and, Smithers,
any luck finding Kiss of the Spider Woman?

375
00:23:27,322 --> 00:23:30,617
Uh, not the edition you're looking for.
It's elusive, I'm afraid.

376
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:34,621
Try the Strand in New York,
would you, please? Thank you, Smithers.

377
00:23:40,127 --> 00:23:41,670
[screams]

378
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:54,266
[upbeat tune playing on egg]

379
00:23:56,852 --> 00:23:59,813
Sorry, it took me a while to track down.
My dad's house is a mess.

380
00:23:59,896 --> 00:24:03,150
Nah, it's cool.
I'm just-- I'm glad you still have it.

381
00:24:03,733 --> 00:24:07,445
Didn't even remember you lent it to me.
It's a wild book.

382
00:24:08,989 --> 00:24:11,658
I was in lust with the hero, Ralph.

383
00:24:11,741 --> 00:24:12,951
Oh, same.

384
00:24:13,034 --> 00:24:15,162
But I mostly identified with Piggy.

385
00:24:16,538 --> 00:24:19,082
The guy
that gets crushed by a boulder? Why?

386
00:24:20,417 --> 00:24:23,211
You don't remember, Moose?
I was husky as a kid.

387
00:24:24,045 --> 00:24:26,756
Used to wear these glasses. Thick ones.

388
00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:29,801
I was super awkward physically.

389
00:24:29,885 --> 00:24:32,470
I felt like the character of Piggy
was written for me.

390
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:36,600
If it makes you feel better, you are
definitely a Ralph now. Totally hot.

391
00:24:37,893 --> 00:24:40,770
Maybe on the outside, but once a Piggy...

392
00:24:41,771 --> 00:24:42,689
always a Piggy.

393
00:24:44,399 --> 00:24:46,902
[Veronica]
Cheryl, what the hell is going on with us?

394
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:50,071
I'm glad you asked, Veronica.
That's why I brought us here.

395
00:24:50,155 --> 00:24:53,408
I've been doing some reading.
Occult volumes I've collected.

396
00:24:53,491 --> 00:24:56,661
I may have further insight
into Percival's machinations.

397
00:24:57,662 --> 00:25:00,207
Okay, when spellcasting,
an enchanter uses personal items

398
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:02,250
to focus their magic on their targets.

399
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:04,794
Strands of hair,
fingernail clippings, clothing,

400
00:25:04,878 --> 00:25:07,547
or, in our case,
the collateral he received

401
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,007
for our missing library books.

402
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:12,260
I believe Percival
is using these items as totems

403
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:15,764
to harness or manifest phantoms
from our past or our subconscious

404
00:25:15,847 --> 00:25:18,642
to haunt us, test us, torment us.

405
00:25:19,392 --> 00:25:21,228
Does that resonate with anyone?

406
00:25:22,270 --> 00:25:23,104
Maybe.

407
00:25:23,605 --> 00:25:24,814
Percival took a book

408
00:25:25,565 --> 00:25:28,068
my grandfather had written
and given to me.

409
00:25:29,027 --> 00:25:31,446
When my grandfather died
back when I was in New York,

410
00:25:32,906 --> 00:25:34,407
he was covered in eczema.

411
00:25:35,158 --> 00:25:36,534
Especially his hands...

412
00:25:38,036 --> 00:25:40,705
-which were completely disfigured.
-Oh, my God, Jug.

413
00:25:43,583 --> 00:25:46,836
One of my greatest fears
is that I'll die alone like him

414
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,965
-only having written one book.
-How do we stop what's happening?

415
00:25:50,048 --> 00:25:52,259
It's straightforward.
Find our library books,

416
00:25:52,342 --> 00:25:55,011
get back our confiscated items,
break his spell.

417
00:25:55,095 --> 00:25:58,848
But would Percival
even return our things at this point?

418
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:00,934
He said he would. "Fair is fair"?

419
00:26:01,017 --> 00:26:03,520
Indeed.
There are rules when spell weaving.

420
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:08,858
-A certain order needs to be maintained.
-You seem pretty blasé about this, Cheryl.

421
00:26:08,942 --> 00:26:10,777
I've always dabbled in the supernatural.

422
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:15,740
And I'm pretty comfortable with the ghost
that's been invoked from my past.

423
00:26:15,824 --> 00:26:19,786
We gave Percival the tools to hurt us.
What if we can't find our books?

424
00:26:20,745 --> 00:26:22,914
Then we have no choice
but to face our demons

425
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:25,417
and hope we survive the encounters.

426
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,502
[dramatic music playing]

427
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:35,760
[ominous music playing]

428
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:08,168
[Percival]
"Your item is not on the premises.

429
00:27:08,251 --> 00:27:12,505
But should you desire to play music again,
please accept this cello.

430
00:27:12,589 --> 00:27:14,966
Warmest regards, Percival."

431
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:22,682
-Hey, again. Did you get ahold of Doc?
-Yeah, I got ahold of him.

432
00:27:24,893 --> 00:27:27,979
-You doing okay?
-No. Definitely not doing okay.

433
00:27:28,063 --> 00:27:31,941
-It's why I need my book.
-About that, Doc said he sold it.

434
00:27:32,025 --> 00:27:33,651
As they were heading west,

435
00:27:33,735 --> 00:27:36,029
had to shed everything
they were carrying with them

436
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:37,489
-to travel light.
-Okay.

437
00:27:38,114 --> 00:27:39,074
Uh...

438
00:27:39,824 --> 00:27:42,994
-Do you know where he sold it?
-Matter of fact, I do.

439
00:27:43,078 --> 00:27:49,167
A place called Barney's Book Barn
right off Route 42 in Allentown.

440
00:27:49,250 --> 00:27:50,835
-Allentown. Pennsylvania?
-Yeah.

441
00:27:50,919 --> 00:27:51,920
Okay.

442
00:27:52,754 --> 00:27:54,631
He did pretty well. This is pretty good.

443
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:58,301
What are you looking at now?

444
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:01,388
Hey, sarge. We figured out
why you were into music back in the day.

445
00:28:02,555 --> 00:28:06,142
If my music teacher looked like that,
I'd be signing up to play guitar too.

446
00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:08,520
You think you're funny?

447
00:28:10,063 --> 00:28:11,064
If I see this...

448
00:28:12,107 --> 00:28:14,359
or any other yearbook in this class...

449
00:28:14,984 --> 00:28:16,903
you're out of my RROTC program.

450
00:28:17,487 --> 00:28:18,571
Am I clear?

451
00:28:18,655 --> 00:28:21,199
Yeah, you're clear. Sorry.

452
00:28:21,282 --> 00:28:23,284
[pensive music playing]

453
00:29:14,544 --> 00:29:16,421
Very good, Kevin. Well done.

454
00:29:16,504 --> 00:29:20,133
Tried to reread it,
but it made me sick to my stomach.

455
00:29:20,216 --> 00:29:24,387
Let me guess. Reminded you of someone
you don't ever want to be again.

456
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:26,848
Basically, yeah.

457
00:29:26,931 --> 00:29:28,558
I understand, Kevin, but...

458
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:34,647
that part of you
that feels that you're unattractive

459
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:36,816
and undeserving of love, let it go.

460
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:37,734
Let it die.

461
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:41,196
You are a gorgeous, gorgeous man,

462
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:43,948
and you deserve
everything your heart desires.

463
00:29:44,574 --> 00:29:46,743
-That's easier said than done.
-It needn't be.

464
00:29:48,286 --> 00:29:49,746
Align yourself with me

465
00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:52,540
and you need never feel like a...

466
00:29:56,169 --> 00:29:57,003
Piggy again.

467
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:00,215
How did you know that?

468
00:30:01,257 --> 00:30:05,678
You see, those dark secrets
that we all carry in our hearts...

469
00:30:06,888 --> 00:30:08,681
I am those secrets, Kevin.

470
00:30:10,391 --> 00:30:12,727
And only I can release you from them.

471
00:30:13,394 --> 00:30:15,396
[ominous music playing]

472
00:30:27,116 --> 00:30:28,076
Hey.

473
00:30:29,744 --> 00:30:34,707
Hey. I picked us up some Cucina Sacasa.
I hope you're hungry.

474
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,548
-What you doing wearing those?
-Uh, they're for my migraines.

475
00:30:41,631 --> 00:30:43,633
I got it at the drugstore. They were cute.

476
00:30:43,716 --> 00:30:46,010
Take those off. Please, take them off!

477
00:30:46,094 --> 00:30:48,471
Okay. They're off.

478
00:30:49,222 --> 00:30:50,849
-What's the problem?
-It's Percival.

479
00:30:50,932 --> 00:30:53,518
When you asked if any weird things
happened to me, I lied.

480
00:30:53,601 --> 00:30:55,770
He's bringing back this stuff
with Miss Grundy.

481
00:30:55,853 --> 00:30:58,523
It's like everywhere I look, I see her.

482
00:30:59,315 --> 00:31:03,444
Those glasses, she wore a pair exactly
like them. I know it shouldn't trigger me.

483
00:31:03,528 --> 00:31:07,031
-No. Yeah, it should.
-It got me thinking about music and...

484
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:11,077
how I stopped playing.
It was a huge part of my life.

485
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,747
Is that because of Miss Grundy?
Because every time I pick up a guitar,

486
00:31:14,831 --> 00:31:17,166
it may send me back
to that music room, back to her.

487
00:31:20,628 --> 00:31:23,756
We didn't use this word back then,
but the truth is...

488
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:28,052
she groomed you, Arch.

489
00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:33,182
And that does have an effect on people.

490
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:38,730
Percival's bringing up all these traumas
back to the surface. Why?

491
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:42,859
Because it's like Cheryl said,
to hurt you.

492
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:44,444
Us.

493
00:31:45,945 --> 00:31:49,032
He finds a wound
just so he can press on it.

494
00:31:51,451 --> 00:31:56,289
Jug texted me. He said he's got a lead on
where he might be able to find our books.

495
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:58,499
It's a long shot, but still.

496
00:31:58,583 --> 00:31:59,626
Really? Where?

497
00:32:01,085 --> 00:32:02,962
Some book barn in Pennsylvania.

498
00:32:04,964 --> 00:32:06,966
[dramatic music playing]

499
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:28,947
I'm glad we both had
a free night to do this.

500
00:32:29,781 --> 00:32:31,574
Get to know each other better.

501
00:32:32,575 --> 00:32:34,243
Without a corpse between us.

502
00:32:35,078 --> 00:32:36,287
I agree.

503
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:38,623
Cheers, Heraldo.

504
00:32:44,963 --> 00:32:46,130
I do have to ask...

505
00:32:48,383 --> 00:32:49,342
where's Reggie?

506
00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:53,429
Gone. For good, God willing.

507
00:32:55,223 --> 00:32:58,142
So, what does that make me then?
