1
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,736
JUGHEAD: Our story is
about a town, a small town,
2
00:00:05,761 --> 00:00:08,595
and the people who live in the town.
3
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:11,474
From a distance, it presents itself
4
00:00:11,476 --> 00:00:14,844
like so many other small
towns all over the world...
5
00:00:14,846 --> 00:00:16,046
Safe.
6
00:00:16,048 --> 00:00:17,180
Decent.
7
00:00:17,182 --> 00:00:18,682
Innocent.
8
00:00:18,881 --> 00:00:20,884
Get closer, though,
9
00:00:20,886 --> 00:00:24,054
and you start seeing
the shadows underneath.
10
00:00:24,856 --> 00:00:28,058
The name of our town is Riverdale.
11
00:00:38,587 --> 00:00:40,670
And our story begins, I guess,
12
00:00:40,672 --> 00:00:43,206
with what the Blossom
twins did this summer.
13
00:00:49,302 --> 00:00:51,805
On the Fourth of July, just after dawn,
14
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:54,417
Jason and Cheryl Blossom
drove out to Sweetwater River
15
00:00:54,419 --> 00:00:56,786
for an early morning boat ride.
16
00:00:57,226 --> 00:00:58,625
Are you scared, Jason?
17
00:01:05,864 --> 00:01:08,098
(THUNDER CRASHING)
18
00:01:09,039 --> 00:01:11,468
JUGHEAD: The next thing
we know happened for sure
19
00:01:11,470 --> 00:01:12,802
is that Dilton Doiley,
20
00:01:12,804 --> 00:01:14,637
who was leading
Riverdale's Boy Scout Troop
21
00:01:14,639 --> 00:01:16,573
on a bird watching expedition,
22
00:01:16,575 --> 00:01:19,509
came upon Cheryl by the river's edge.
23
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:23,829
Jason...
24
00:01:32,491 --> 00:01:36,126
Riverdale Police dragged
Sweetwater River for Jason's body,
25
00:01:36,128 --> 00:01:37,927
but never found it.
26
00:01:37,929 --> 00:01:39,529
If he is dead, Hal,
27
00:01:40,632 --> 00:01:43,032
I hope in those last
moments he suffered.
28
00:01:44,035 --> 00:01:47,837
May Jason Blossom burn in hell.
29
00:01:49,213 --> 00:01:50,880
JUGHEAD: So a week later,
30
00:01:51,597 --> 00:01:54,844
the Blossom family
buried an empty casket
31
00:01:54,846 --> 00:01:57,947
and Jason's death was
ruled an accident,
32
00:01:57,972 --> 00:02:00,682
as the story that Cheryl
told made the rounds.
33
00:02:01,787 --> 00:02:04,387
That Cheryl dropped
a glove in the water,
34
00:02:04,389 --> 00:02:07,056
and Jason reached down to get it,
35
00:02:07,058 --> 00:02:09,058
and accidentally tipped the boat,
36
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:11,461
and panicked, and drowned.
37
00:02:12,551 --> 00:02:16,432
As for us, we were still talking
about the "July Fourth tragedy"
38
00:02:16,434 --> 00:02:18,334
on the last day of summer vacation,
39
00:02:18,336 --> 00:02:21,471
when a new mystery rolled into town.
40
00:02:28,003 --> 00:02:31,047
Now brace yourself. The
apartment's small, a pied-a-terre,
41
00:02:31,049 --> 00:02:34,384
- but "quality, always."
- "Quality, always."
42
00:02:34,386 --> 00:02:37,120
Plus, it's the only piece
of property in my name
43
00:02:37,122 --> 00:02:38,421
and not your father's.
44
00:02:43,195 --> 00:02:45,061
Ms. Hermione!
45
00:02:45,063 --> 00:02:46,729
- Welcome home!
- Smithers!
46
00:02:46,731 --> 00:02:48,832
Oh, you are a sight for sore eyes.
47
00:02:48,857 --> 00:02:51,768
- How was the ride?
- No traffic, thank God.
48
00:02:51,770 --> 00:02:53,670
Smithers, I'd like to introduce you
49
00:02:53,672 --> 00:02:55,505
to my daughter, Veronica.
50
00:02:56,241 --> 00:02:58,141
- It's a pleasure, miss.
- Hi.
51
00:02:58,143 --> 00:03:00,210
- I'll get the bags.
- Would you?
52
00:03:00,212 --> 00:03:02,412
Oh, and would you like some
menus, ma'am, so you can order in?
53
00:03:02,414 --> 00:03:04,147
Oh, no. I have been craving
54
00:03:04,149 --> 00:03:06,149
one of Pop Tate's
cheeseburgers since noon.
55
00:03:06,151 --> 00:03:07,717
Is his Chock'lit Shoppe still open?
56
00:03:07,742 --> 00:03:11,512
What is a Chock'lit Shoppe
and why does it sell burgers?
57
00:03:23,721 --> 00:03:25,922
Are you excited? Nervous?
58
00:03:27,072 --> 00:03:30,340
Both. I haven't seen him all summer.
59
00:03:30,342 --> 00:03:32,408
Which is why nerves are acceptable,
60
00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:34,677
but we agreed, Betty... It's time.
61
00:03:35,580 --> 00:03:37,447
You like him, he likes you.
62
00:03:37,449 --> 00:03:39,515
Well, then why, Kevin,
63
00:03:39,517 --> 00:03:41,351
hasn't he ever said or done anything?
64
00:03:41,376 --> 00:03:44,220
Because Archie's swell,
65
00:03:44,222 --> 00:03:46,189
but like most millennial straight guys,
66
00:03:46,191 --> 00:03:47,490
he needs to be told what he wants.
67
00:03:47,492 --> 00:03:49,459
So tell him, finally.
68
00:03:49,461 --> 00:03:51,127
Well, we'll see. I mean, it depends.
69
00:03:51,129 --> 00:03:53,162
Oh, my God!
70
00:03:53,465 --> 00:03:54,664
What?
71
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,597
Game-changer. Archie got hot!
72
00:03:59,631 --> 00:04:01,064
He's got abs now.
73
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:06,576
Six more reasons for you to take
that ginger bull by the horns tonight.
74
00:04:07,176 --> 00:04:08,772
ARCHIE: So, what was the highlight?
75
00:04:08,797 --> 00:04:10,346
BETTY: Of my internship?
76
00:04:10,348 --> 00:04:13,883
The Toni Morrison book release
party I organized, by far.
77
00:04:13,885 --> 00:04:15,385
At the end of the night, Toni Morrison,
78
00:04:15,387 --> 00:04:16,920
who is, as you know,
79
00:04:16,922 --> 00:04:19,622
- my literary hero, says to me...
- Yes. Yes.
80
00:04:19,647 --> 00:04:21,724
"Don't rush this time, Betty.
81
00:04:21,726 --> 00:04:24,627
"It goes by so fast at your age.
82
00:04:24,629 --> 00:04:26,896
"One summer can change everything."
83
00:04:28,034 --> 00:04:31,301
Wow. That's so true.
84
00:04:31,303 --> 00:04:32,568
How was working for your dad?
85
00:04:32,570 --> 00:04:35,405
It was... Pouring concrete,
86
00:04:35,407 --> 00:04:37,340
every day, all day long.
87
00:04:38,610 --> 00:04:41,544
To pass time, I would start composing
88
00:04:41,546 --> 00:04:43,079
these poems, in my head.
89
00:04:43,081 --> 00:04:44,514
And at night, I'd go home,
I'd write them down...
90
00:04:44,516 --> 00:04:46,015
You don't even like reading poetry.
91
00:04:46,017 --> 00:04:49,585
They weren't poems,
they were song lyrics.
92
00:04:51,420 --> 00:04:54,434
And working on them made me feel like...
93
00:04:54,459 --> 00:04:56,092
What, Archie?
94
00:04:56,094 --> 00:04:57,694
It made me feel like
95
00:04:57,696 --> 00:04:59,729
I'd finally broken
through to something real.
96
00:04:59,754 --> 00:05:01,731
About my life
97
00:05:01,733 --> 00:05:03,373
and what I should be
trying to do with it.
98
00:05:04,302 --> 00:05:05,468
Music.
99
00:05:05,493 --> 00:05:08,104
Starting this year, tomorrow.
100
00:05:08,106 --> 00:05:09,605
Amazing.
101
00:05:10,608 --> 00:05:12,642
Will you ask Ms. Grundy to tutor you?
102
00:05:12,667 --> 00:05:14,777
- I'm not sure, maybe.
- What about football?
103
00:05:14,779 --> 00:05:16,612
- Can you do both?
- I'll try out, at least.
104
00:05:16,614 --> 00:05:18,915
- Well, have you told your dad?
- No.
105
00:05:18,917 --> 00:05:20,216
Until I've got things more figured out,
106
00:05:20,218 --> 00:05:21,818
you're the only person
I'm telling, okay?
107
00:05:23,722 --> 00:05:25,922
Well, I'd love to hear them sometime.
108
00:05:25,924 --> 00:05:27,156
Your songs.
109
00:05:27,158 --> 00:05:28,424
- Yeah?
- Yes.
110
00:05:28,426 --> 00:05:30,126
Yeah, I'm finishing a
couple of demos tonight.
111
00:05:30,128 --> 00:05:33,563
Great. Also...
112
00:05:33,565 --> 00:05:35,665
I've been thinking
113
00:05:35,667 --> 00:05:37,967
about us, Archie,
114
00:05:37,969 --> 00:05:41,804
and our friendship, and how
it's time we... (FADING OUT)
115
00:05:56,404 --> 00:05:58,821
I called in an order, for Lodge?
116
00:05:58,823 --> 00:06:00,423
Two burgers, yeah, almost ready,
117
00:06:00,425 --> 00:06:02,158
but you gotta wait.
118
00:06:03,094 --> 00:06:04,660
- VERONICA: Hi.
- Hey.
119
00:06:05,684 --> 00:06:07,217
How are the onion rings here?
120
00:06:07,242 --> 00:06:08,664
So good.
121
00:06:08,689 --> 00:06:10,608
Can we get some onion
rings, too, please?
122
00:06:10,633 --> 00:06:11,832
- POP: Yeah.
- Thanks.
123
00:06:12,272 --> 00:06:14,270
My mom and I just moved here, so...
124
00:06:14,272 --> 00:06:15,972
- From where?
- New York.
125
00:06:15,997 --> 00:06:17,273
Wow.
126
00:06:18,376 --> 00:06:20,176
Do you guys go to Riverdale?
127
00:06:20,201 --> 00:06:22,311
- We do. Both of us. Together.
- We're sophomores.
128
00:06:22,313 --> 00:06:23,780
VERONICA: Me too.
129
00:06:23,805 --> 00:06:26,482
- I'm filled with dread.
- Why is that?
130
00:06:26,507 --> 00:06:29,619
Are you familiar with the
works of Truman Capote?
131
00:06:30,588 --> 00:06:31,988
I'm Breakfast at Tiffany's,
132
00:06:31,990 --> 00:06:33,990
but this place is strictly In Cold Blood.
133
00:06:33,992 --> 00:06:35,569
(LAUGHING)
134
00:06:36,951 --> 00:06:38,294
Veronica Lodge.
135
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:39,695
Archie Andrews.
136
00:06:41,054 --> 00:06:42,353
Uh, this is Betty Cooper.
137
00:06:43,001 --> 00:06:45,001
Wait, are you...
138
00:06:45,026 --> 00:06:47,972
Supposed to give you
your tour tomorrow? Yes.
139
00:06:48,973 --> 00:06:50,440
I'm your peer mentor.
140
00:06:50,442 --> 00:06:51,607
Do you want to join us?
141
00:06:51,632 --> 00:06:54,077
Hey, maybe we can
un-fill you with dread.
142
00:06:54,102 --> 00:06:55,745
My mom's waiting for me.
143
00:06:56,314 --> 00:06:58,281
But, to be continued.
144
00:06:58,283 --> 00:06:59,449
Yeah.
145
00:07:03,021 --> 00:07:05,354
- What were you saying?
- Nothing.
146
00:07:07,892 --> 00:07:11,127
Hey, Dad. First day of
school and I'm already late.
147
00:07:11,152 --> 00:07:13,266
Hey, Vegas.
148
00:07:14,748 --> 00:07:16,782
Hey, you, uh, you
stopping by the site later?
149
00:07:16,807 --> 00:07:18,434
Dad, it's my first day.
150
00:07:18,459 --> 00:07:20,236
Oh, we got to get you
going in the office,
151
00:07:20,238 --> 00:07:22,071
so next summer you're not on the crew.
152
00:07:23,341 --> 00:07:25,260
Well, I can't. I've
got football tryouts.
153
00:07:26,978 --> 00:07:28,277
Or is that not okay?
154
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:31,948
No, it's, uh... It's okay. Good luck.
155
00:07:34,586 --> 00:07:35,751
Hmm.
156
00:07:37,155 --> 00:07:40,523
ALICE: Betty. This coming
year is critical for colleges.
157
00:07:40,525 --> 00:07:42,024
Grades are important,
158
00:07:42,026 --> 00:07:43,960
extracurriculars, athletics.
159
00:07:43,962 --> 00:07:46,062
Maintaining a decent character
160
00:07:46,064 --> 00:07:48,731
is hugely important,
they do look at that.
161
00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:50,166
Mom, I'm a sophomore.
162
00:07:50,168 --> 00:07:52,168
You've accomplished so much,
163
00:07:52,170 --> 00:07:54,670
I don't want anything jeopardizing that.
164
00:07:56,103 --> 00:07:58,503
I mean, just think of your poor sister.
165
00:07:58,528 --> 00:08:00,409
She was such a shining star
166
00:08:00,411 --> 00:08:02,078
before she let that
Blossom boy ruin her.
167
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,579
Mom, I'm not Polly.
168
00:08:04,249 --> 00:08:05,648
You missed curfew last night.
169
00:08:05,650 --> 00:08:07,350
By seven minutes.
170
00:08:07,352 --> 00:08:09,652
I was with Archie,
who has red hair, yes,
171
00:08:09,654 --> 00:08:12,188
but is nothing like Jason Blossom.
172
00:08:12,213 --> 00:08:15,458
Oh, but sweetie, all boys
are like Jason Blossom.
173
00:08:15,460 --> 00:08:16,459
(SIGHS)
174
00:08:16,461 --> 00:08:19,028
I love you so much, Elizabeth.
175
00:08:20,599 --> 00:08:23,200
I just need you to be smart, okay?
176
00:08:24,754 --> 00:08:26,220
And stay...
177
00:08:27,071 --> 00:08:28,304
Focused.
178
00:08:29,478 --> 00:08:31,244
I refilled your Adderall.
179
00:08:32,372 --> 00:08:34,714
Seems you forgot to pick
up your prescription.

181
00:08:48,993 --> 00:08:51,460
Bro, you are ready for football.
182
00:08:51,462 --> 00:08:52,995
I'm not kidding you,
dude. You got ripped.
183
00:08:52,997 --> 00:08:54,830
Dude, you're a beast. Look
at this arm, it's diesel!
184
00:08:54,832 --> 00:08:56,866
How much are you
benching, like 220? 225?
185
00:08:56,868 --> 00:08:58,267
You got to give me some tips, man.

Tribulus terrestris?
190
00:09:06,044 --> 00:09:07,577
It's from working construction, Reg.
191
00:09:07,579 --> 00:09:09,579
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yo, Moose.
192
00:09:09,604 --> 00:09:11,681

- MOOSE: Hey!

REGGIE: Yo, be honest with me.
194

You work on any houses?
Any private homes?
195
00:09:15,553 --> 00:09:16,586
Yeah, a couple.
196
00:09:16,588 --> 00:09:19,655
Did you tap some cougar ass this summer?
197
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:21,424
You know what, I think
that's more a fantasy
198
00:09:21,426 --> 00:09:23,292
from your wank-bank, Reggie.

- I'll catch you guys soon.
- Peace out, brother.

- Totally did it, bro.
- He totally did it.
201
00:09:28,433 --> 00:09:30,366
So, I usually start off my tours
202
00:09:30,368 --> 00:09:33,002
with a little history and context.
203
00:09:33,004 --> 00:09:35,905
Riverdale High first opened
its doors in 1941 and...
204
00:09:35,907 --> 00:09:38,507
And hasn't been redecorated
since, apparently.
205
00:09:38,532 --> 00:09:40,576
Honestly, I feel like I'm wandering
206
00:09:40,578 --> 00:09:42,941
through the lost epilogue of Our Town.
207
00:09:42,966 --> 00:09:44,814
- Uh-huh.

like here? Any night clubs?

00:09:47,208 --> 00:09:49,151

210
00:09:49,153 --> 00:09:51,554
and a tragic gay bar called Innuendo.
211
00:09:51,556 --> 00:09:52,755
Friday nights, football games
212
00:09:52,757 --> 00:09:54,877
and then tailgate parties
at the Mallmart parking lot.
213
00:09:54,902 --> 00:09:56,726
Saturday night is movie night,
214
00:09:56,728 --> 00:09:57,793
regardless of what's
playing at the Bijou,
215
00:09:57,795 --> 00:09:59,061
and you better get there early,
216
00:09:59,063 --> 00:10:00,730
because we don't have
reserved seating in Riverdale.
217
00:10:00,732 --> 00:10:04,000
And Sunday nights... Thank God for HBO.
218
00:10:04,025 --> 00:10:06,569

219
00:10:06,571 --> 00:10:08,971
- Veronica's new here. Kevin is...
- ...gay, thank God.

Let's be best friends.

Is it true what they say about your dad?
222
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:16,106
That he's the devil incarnate?
223
00:10:17,135 --> 00:10:18,501
I stand by my father.
224
00:10:19,384 --> 00:10:20,950
Does everyone here know?
225
00:10:24,188 --> 00:10:26,255
Wonderful. Ten minutes
in and I'm already

00:10:26,257 --> 00:10:27,957

Excuse me, this is a closed rehearsal.
231
00:10:54,756 --> 00:10:56,589
I'm sorry, I...
232
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,656
Josie, right?
233
00:10:59,322 --> 00:11:00,823
I was hoping I could talk to you
234
00:11:00,825 --> 00:11:02,085
about some songs that I wrote?
235
00:11:02,110 --> 00:11:04,572
JOSIE: Let me just stop you right there.
236
00:11:04,907 --> 00:11:06,829
You're staring at our pussycat ears,
237
00:11:06,831 --> 00:11:08,197
which is rude,
238
00:11:08,199 --> 00:11:11,400
but let me break it,
and them, down for you.
239
00:11:11,402 --> 00:11:13,903
The Pussycats are building a brand,
240
00:11:13,905 --> 00:11:18,140
creating a signature look,
okay? We're telling a story.
241
00:11:18,142 --> 00:11:21,410
Last year, we won Rockland
County's Battle of the Bands.
242
00:11:21,412 --> 00:11:22,578
That we did.
243
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:26,015
This year, we'd like to
build on that success,
244
00:11:26,017 --> 00:11:28,884
continue telling our story
245
00:11:28,886 --> 00:11:30,986
with songs we write.
246
00:11:31,011 --> 00:11:33,289

Oh, and of course
there's the Back-to-School
253
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,738
- semiformal dance this weekend.
- Oh!
254
00:11:48,740 --> 00:11:50,420
There's the hottie we
were with last night.
255
00:11:50,445 --> 00:11:52,871
The red-headed Ansel Elgort.
256
00:11:52,896 --> 00:11:54,543
Is he your boyfriend?
257
00:11:54,545 --> 00:11:56,412
- No, he's straight.
- No, we're just friends.
258
00:11:57,548 --> 00:11:59,749
In that case, mind putting in a word?
259
00:11:59,774 --> 00:12:02,184
I've tried every flavor
of boy but orange.
260
00:12:02,186 --> 00:12:03,986
Actually, to clarify...
261
00:12:03,988 --> 00:12:05,821
Betty and Archie aren't dating,
262
00:12:05,823 --> 00:12:07,456
but they are endgame.
263
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,400
You should ask him to
the semiformal then.
264
00:12:10,425 --> 00:12:12,957
She should, but I heard it
might be getting canceled.
265
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:14,769
Because of what happened to Jason.
266
00:12:14,794 --> 00:12:16,565
They're gonna tell us at the assembly.
267
00:12:16,567 --> 00:12:18,634
Who's Jason and what happened to him?
268
00:12:19,465 --> 00:12:21,771
CHERYL: Thank you for
that moment of silence.
269
00:12:21,773 --> 00:12:23,372
Many of you were lucky enough
270
00:12:23,374 --> 00:12:25,474
to have known my brother personally.
271
00:12:25,499 --> 00:12:29,431
Each and every one of you
meant the world to Jason.
272
00:12:29,456 --> 00:12:31,614
I loved my brother.
273
00:12:31,616 --> 00:12:34,650
He was and always will be my soulmate.
274
00:12:35,386 --> 00:12:36,685
So I speak with the confidence
275
00:12:36,687 --> 00:12:38,480
only a twin could have...
276
00:12:38,505 --> 00:12:42,091
Jason wouldn't want us to
spend the year mourning.
277
00:12:42,798 --> 00:12:46,724
Jason would want us to
move on with our lives.
278
00:12:46,749 --> 00:12:48,431
Which is why I've
asked the School Board
279
00:12:48,433 --> 00:12:50,566
not to cancel the
Back-to-School semiformal.

as a way to heal, collectively,
283
00:12:56,174 --> 00:13:00,109
and celebrate my brother's too,
too short life on this mortal coil.

that we knew each other,

that we even dated,

00:16:46,423 --> 00:16:48,123
Obsessed with you?
359
00:16:48,148 --> 00:16:50,325
Any other year, you'd be
trending number one, for sure.
360
00:16:50,327 --> 00:16:52,227
This year, though, it's all about Cheryl
361
00:16:52,229 --> 00:16:54,195
trying to win the Best
Supporting Psycho Oscar
362
00:16:54,197 --> 00:16:57,332
for her role as Riverdale
High's bereaved Red Widow.
363
00:16:57,334 --> 00:16:59,267
Hey, I should go. I got
that meeting with Grundy
364
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:00,469
and then football tryouts, so.
365
00:17:00,494 --> 00:17:03,371
You play football,
too? What don't you do?
366
00:17:04,908 --> 00:17:06,408
Before you ask, Blue Jasmine, no,
367
00:17:06,410 --> 00:17:07,909
she has not invited
him to the dance yet...
368
00:17:07,911 --> 00:17:09,477
Not yet, and don't talk about Archie.
369
00:17:09,479 --> 00:17:12,614
Veronica Lodge, I'd heard whisperings.
370
00:17:12,616 --> 00:17:14,649
I'm Cheryl Blossom, may I sit?
371
00:17:14,674 --> 00:17:16,284
Betty, would you mind?
372
00:17:19,498 --> 00:17:22,700
So, what are you three
hens gossiping about?
373
00:17:22,725 --> 00:17:25,860
Archie's Efron-esque emergence
from the chrysalis of puberty?
374
00:17:27,431 --> 00:17:29,297
Extracurriculars.
375
00:17:29,299 --> 00:17:31,510
Weatherbee wants me
to sign up for a few.
376
00:17:31,535 --> 00:17:33,568
Cheerleading. You must.
377
00:17:33,570 --> 00:17:35,603
I'm senior captain of the River Vixens.
378
00:17:35,628 --> 00:17:37,473
Is cheerleading still a thing?
379
00:17:37,498 --> 00:17:39,921
Is being the Gay Best
Friend still a thing?
380
00:17:41,077 --> 00:17:45,079
Some people say it's retro,
I say it's eternal and iconic.
381
00:17:45,081 --> 00:17:47,682
At Spence, I sat at the
top of the Elites' pyramid.
382
00:17:47,684 --> 00:17:49,173
I'm in.
383
00:17:49,198 --> 00:17:50,753
Betty, you're trying out, too.
384
00:17:50,778 --> 00:17:54,022
Of course, anyone's welcome to try out,
385
00:17:54,024 --> 00:17:55,757
but Betty's already got so much
386
00:17:55,759 --> 00:17:57,192
on her plate right now
387
00:17:57,217 --> 00:17:59,427
and being a Vixen is
kind of a full-time thing.
388
00:17:59,429 --> 00:18:01,529
But open to all!
389
00:18:02,670 --> 00:18:04,470
Follow me on Twitter
and I'll do the same.
390
00:18:05,139 --> 00:18:07,239
My handle is @cherylbombshell.
391
00:18:09,372 --> 00:18:11,606
Okay. Go ahead and hate on cheerleading,
392
00:18:11,608 --> 00:18:12,974
but if Hipster Prince Harry...
393
00:18:12,976 --> 00:18:15,743
I'd love to be a cheerleader.
394
00:18:15,768 --> 00:18:18,179
It would look great on
my college applications.
395
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:20,415
But last year, when I tried out,
396
00:18:20,417 --> 00:18:22,016
Cheryl said I was too fat.
397
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:23,585
"Too season 5 Betty Draper."
398
00:18:23,587 --> 00:18:25,119
It was a great line,
399
00:18:25,121 --> 00:18:27,233
but not at all true.
400
00:18:27,258 --> 00:18:30,391
Well, you're a total smoke show now.
401
00:18:30,393 --> 00:18:31,526
I mean it.
402
00:18:31,528 --> 00:18:34,729
As hot and as smart as you are,
403
00:18:34,731 --> 00:18:37,704
you should be the Queen
Bey of this drab hive.
404
00:18:38,335 --> 00:18:41,002
Look, if you want to be a River Vixen,
405
00:18:41,004 --> 00:18:43,137
I'll help you prep. I have moves.
406
00:18:45,045 --> 00:18:48,813
Okay. You know what? Show me your moves.
407
00:18:49,386 --> 00:18:51,550
(ARCHIE'S SONG PLAYING THROUGH EARBUDS)
408
00:18:59,016 --> 00:19:00,315
They're...
409
00:19:01,376 --> 00:19:02,642
Very real,
410
00:19:03,838 --> 00:19:05,171
very personal.
411
00:19:05,196 --> 00:19:07,158
I took your advice and wrote them down.
412
00:19:07,183 --> 00:19:09,116
Polished them.
413
00:19:09,141 --> 00:19:11,305
But I was wondering maybe
if you could help me...
414
00:19:11,330 --> 00:19:13,587
With what, Archie? (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
415
00:19:13,612 --> 00:19:15,436
You went to Juilliard, Ms. Grundy.
416
00:19:15,438 --> 00:19:17,338
There is no one else in
Riverdale I can take lessons from.
417
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:18,907
Believe me, I've looked.
418
00:19:18,909 --> 00:19:21,509
Well, I don't think that's a good idea.
419
00:19:23,747 --> 00:19:26,112
(WHISPERING) I don't think
we should be alone together.
420
00:19:28,260 --> 00:19:32,620
If this is you trying
to restart something
421
00:19:32,622 --> 00:19:35,089
that never should've
started in the first...
422
00:19:35,091 --> 00:19:38,192
No, it's not. It is about the music.
423
00:19:41,164 --> 00:19:42,697
But it's also... (SIGHS)
424
00:19:45,702 --> 00:19:46,868
Come on, I need to be able
425
00:19:46,870 --> 00:19:48,503
to talk about what
happened with someone.
426
00:19:48,528 --> 00:19:50,271
We heard what we heard
427
00:19:50,273 --> 00:19:52,006
and afterwards, we didn't do anything.
428
00:19:52,031 --> 00:19:53,745
We didn't say anything.
429
00:19:55,445 --> 00:19:57,304
(GUNSHOT IN DISTANCE)
430
00:20:00,934 --> 00:20:03,835
We heard fireworks.
431
00:20:03,860 --> 00:20:06,634
Who's lighting fireworks
at 6:00 in the morning?
432
00:20:06,659 --> 00:20:09,557
How would we explain
why we were together
433
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:11,949
at Sweetwater River at 6:00
a.m. on the Fourth of July?
434
00:20:13,229 --> 00:20:15,530
And you're right.
435
00:20:15,532 --> 00:20:17,332
We didn't say anything.
436
00:20:19,669 --> 00:20:21,970
We're both going to have
to live with that choice.
437
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,073
Do you understand?
438
00:20:26,919 --> 00:20:28,985
I think you should pursue your music,
439
00:20:30,013 --> 00:20:31,379
but not with me.
440
00:20:37,263 --> 00:20:39,392
We're blue! And go!
441
00:20:39,417 --> 00:20:41,494
We're dynamite!
442
00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:43,830
We'll take you down,
443
00:20:43,855 --> 00:20:46,132
and fight the fight!
444
00:20:46,157 --> 00:20:48,501
Whoo! Go, Bulldogs!
445
00:20:49,137 --> 00:20:50,303
Hmm.
446
00:20:50,328 --> 00:20:53,543
Ladies, where's the
heat? Where's the sizzle?
447
00:20:54,246 --> 00:20:57,243
Well, you haven't seen
our big finish yet.
448
00:20:57,268 --> 00:20:59,933
(WHISPERING) Don't
freak out. Just trust me.
449
00:21:14,197 --> 00:21:16,246
Check your sell-by date, ladies,
450
00:21:16,248 --> 00:21:19,983
faux lesbian kissing hasn't
been taboo since 1994.
451
00:21:20,008 --> 00:21:23,545
So let's see if you do better with
the interview portion of our audition.
452
00:21:23,570 --> 00:21:25,795
Betty, how's your sister doing?
453
00:21:26,919 --> 00:21:29,893
Um, Polly's fine, thanks for asking.
454
00:21:29,895 --> 00:21:31,995
Veronica, has Betty told
you about her sister yet?
455
00:21:31,997 --> 00:21:34,364
- Uh, no.
- Go ahead, Betty.
456
00:21:34,389 --> 00:21:37,434
Tell Veronica about your
sister and my dear brother.
457
00:21:37,459 --> 00:21:38,868
Polly and Jason dated.
458
00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:40,900
(SCOFFS) I wouldn't say "dated".
459
00:21:40,925 --> 00:21:43,573
- It didn't end well.
- In fact,
460
00:21:43,598 --> 00:21:46,843
Jason's probably why your
sister had a nervous breakdown
461
00:21:46,845 --> 00:21:49,379
and now lives in a group home, isn't it?
462
00:21:49,381 --> 00:21:50,613
That's what my parents think.
463
00:21:50,638 --> 00:21:52,982
What do you have to
say about that, Betty?
464
00:21:52,984 --> 00:21:54,684
Go ahead, the floor is yours.
465
00:21:54,709 --> 00:21:57,287
Whatever you've been
dying to spew about Jason
466
00:21:57,289 --> 00:21:59,889
and how he treated Polly, unleash it.
467
00:21:59,914 --> 00:22:02,459
Destroy me. Tear me a new one.
468
00:22:02,461 --> 00:22:04,461
Rip me to shreds. Annihilate me.
469
00:22:04,463 --> 00:22:05,695
I just...
470
00:22:06,665 --> 00:22:07,931
Finally.
471
00:22:12,577 --> 00:22:14,944
I just wanted to say I'm sorry
472
00:22:16,033 --> 00:22:18,208
about what happened to Jason.
473
00:22:18,210 --> 00:22:20,477
I can't even imagine
what you and your family
474
00:22:20,479 --> 00:22:21,711
must be going through.
475
00:22:23,315 --> 00:22:24,914
Right.
476
00:22:25,886 --> 00:22:28,351
Veronica, welcome to the River Vixens.
477
00:22:28,376 --> 00:22:31,821
Betty, better luck next time.
478
00:22:33,398 --> 00:22:36,632
Wait, what? Why?
479
00:22:36,657 --> 00:22:39,903
Because you couldn't bully
Betty into being a bitch?
480
00:22:39,928 --> 00:22:42,131
I need girls with fire on my squad.
481
00:22:43,268 --> 00:22:45,735
I know what you need, Cheryl,
482
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,770
because I know who you are.
483
00:22:47,795 --> 00:22:51,407
You would rather people
fear than like you,
484
00:22:51,409 --> 00:22:53,877
so you traffic in
terror and intimidation.
485
00:22:53,902 --> 00:22:57,614
You're rich, so you've
never been held accountable,
486
00:22:57,616 --> 00:22:59,516
but I'm living proof.
487
00:22:59,518 --> 00:23:01,918
That certainty, that entitlement
488
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,553
you wear on your head like a crown?
489
00:23:04,107 --> 00:23:05,573
It won't last.
490
00:23:05,598 --> 00:23:08,358
Eventually, there will be a reckoning.
491
00:23:10,562 --> 00:23:12,595
Or...
492
00:23:12,597 --> 00:23:15,465
Maybe that reckoning is now.
493
00:23:15,490 --> 00:23:18,101
And maybe, that reckoning...
494
00:23:19,274 --> 00:23:20,607
Is me.
495
00:23:21,741 --> 00:23:24,007
Betty and I come as a matching set.
496
00:23:24,009 --> 00:23:25,975
You want one, you take us both.
497
00:23:26,668 --> 00:23:27,967
You wanted fire?
498
00:23:28,835 --> 00:23:32,515
Sorry, Cherrybombshell,
my specialty's ice.

There we go. Looking good.

00:23:50,569 --> 00:23:52,702
- What's up, Coach?
- Here.

00:23:58,216 --> 00:24:00,683
- This is Jason's number.
- It's yours now.
507

Usually, sophomores, they only play JV.

This year, we've got
an open spot in varsity.
509
00:24:05,383 --> 00:24:08,318
From what you've been showing
us, well, I want you to fill it.
510
00:24:08,343 --> 00:24:11,921
Varsity's got longer practices.
511
00:24:11,923 --> 00:24:13,189
More away games.
512
00:24:13,191 --> 00:24:14,724
Yeah, bigger commitment, yeah.
513
00:24:14,726 --> 00:24:16,526
Well, I need to think
about it, Coach. I...
514
00:24:16,551 --> 00:24:19,028
Oh, what, you got
something better to do?
515
00:24:20,416 --> 00:24:22,100
My dad's company.
516
00:24:22,125 --> 00:24:23,766
It's our family business,
517
00:24:23,768 --> 00:24:25,034
and he's sort of
counting on me to help out

Why did... Why did you defend me?

I know the crowd you
ran with in New York.

Why are you being so... Nice?
527

When my father got arrested,
528

it was the worst thing ever.

00:25:23,317 --> 00:25:25,995
my mom was a clueless socialite,
534
00:25:25,997 --> 00:25:29,799
and that I was the spoiled
rich-bitch ice princess.
535
00:25:31,277 --> 00:25:34,311
And what hurt the most about it was...
536
00:25:34,336 --> 00:25:38,461
The things the trolls
were writing were true.
537
00:25:39,664 --> 00:25:42,765
I was like Cheryl. I
was worse than Cheryl.
538
00:25:43,625 --> 00:25:47,182
So, when my mom said we
were moving to Riverdale,
539
00:25:47,207 --> 00:25:49,318
I made a pact with myself
540
00:25:49,343 --> 00:25:53,990
to use this as an opportunity to become
541
00:25:53,992 --> 00:25:57,960
maybe, hopefully, a
better version of myself.
542
00:25:59,030 --> 00:26:01,330
That's a lot of pressure.
543
00:26:05,184 --> 00:26:08,771
When Polly and Jason got together...
544
00:26:08,773 --> 00:26:10,940
It meant everything to her
545
00:26:10,942 --> 00:26:13,376
and nothing to him,
546
00:26:13,378 --> 00:26:16,579
and... (SIGHS)
547
00:26:16,581 --> 00:26:20,583
And things got super
intense and weird and toxic
548
00:26:20,585 --> 00:26:22,452
and my mom turned on Polly.
549
00:26:23,455 --> 00:26:25,788
Said Polly wasn't her daughter anymore,
550
00:26:25,790 --> 00:26:28,558
said all these awful things to her.
551
00:26:28,583 --> 00:26:30,860
Jason hurt Polly,
552
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,074
but it's my mom who broke her.

Betty here has something
she wants to ask you
559
00:26:56,721 --> 00:26:58,147
about the Back-to-School dance.
560
00:26:59,303 --> 00:27:01,090
Go on, Betty, ask.
561
00:27:02,427 --> 00:27:06,229
I was wondering if you wanted to come

It's your first dance at Riverdale.
565
00:27:14,105 --> 00:27:15,438
You should have someone to go with,

even if it's just a friend.

Totally unacceptable,

that you can't play varsity football

because I'm making you work for me.
619

you made it seem like

you couldn't work for me

00:35:08,112 --> 00:35:09,511
This one's for you, JJ.
713
00:35:11,143 --> 00:35:13,658
- Sorry about that.
- I give you Josie and the Pussycats.

00:35:22,870 --> 00:35:24,803
- Wanna dance?
- Yeah.
718
00:35:27,718 --> 00:35:29,051
Did that go okay?
719
00:35:29,076 --> 00:35:32,244
Yeah, yes. I'll study with
Ms. Grundy before school,
720
00:35:32,269 --> 00:35:34,380
football practice after school,
721
00:35:34,382 --> 00:35:36,115
and work with my dad on the weekends.
722
00:35:36,117 --> 00:35:37,316
It's going to be nuts.
723
00:35:37,341 --> 00:35:39,925

give up your passion.

Um...
726
00:35:56,971 --> 00:36:00,139
Now that I'm a River Vixen
727
00:36:00,141 --> 00:36:03,776
and you're gonna be on varsity football,
728
00:36:03,778 --> 00:36:07,746
I have this fantasy of
us as a power couple...
729
00:36:08,816 --> 00:36:11,060
Or maybe even just a couple.
730
00:36:11,085 --> 00:36:12,351

731
00:36:13,660 --> 00:36:16,233

(CROWD APPLAUDING AND CHEERING)

come to my after-party.

- Wait, actually...
- Yes, Andrews! Yes. (SNICKERS)

to... The new girl.

Um... I'm not doing this.
749
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:25,700
That's up to you.
750
00:37:25,702 --> 00:37:27,234

- to kill time.

were having fun at the dance.

Definitely. We've been friends forever.

00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:23,357
- My turn.
- I didn't ask my question yet.
767
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,560
Is that all it is?
768
00:38:26,562 --> 00:38:28,562
Just friends?

a boyfriend in New York?

No.

My turn.
774
00:38:42,311 --> 00:38:45,346
Could it ever possibly
become something more?
775
00:38:45,371 --> 00:38:47,782
Are you asking for
Betty or for yourself?
776
00:38:47,807 --> 00:38:51,352
For Betty, and you
didn't answer my question.
777
00:38:51,377 --> 00:38:54,421

778
00:38:54,423 --> 00:38:56,557
I'm supposed to feel
779
00:38:56,559 --> 00:38:57,758
with Betty.
780
00:38:57,783 --> 00:38:59,693

- Have you?
- Maybe once.

than you look, aren't you?

Ask me anything you want.
791
00:39:49,442 --> 00:39:51,712
We shouldn't do this.
792
00:39:51,714 --> 00:39:53,013
We definitely shouldn't do this.

- REGGIE: Nailed it.

Where's Betty?
796
00:40:10,348 --> 00:40:11,960
She spiraled and fled.
797
00:40:11,962 --> 00:40:14,396
Between us, she's a lot more
high-strung than she looks.
798

You shady bitch.
799
00:40:19,281 --> 00:40:21,036
Crap. Betty's cell is off.
800
00:40:21,038 --> 00:40:22,337
- I'm getting an Uber.
- Can I come with you?
801
00:40:22,339 --> 00:40:23,505
We should probably try to find her.
802
00:40:23,507 --> 00:40:25,607
Believe me. The last thing Betty wants
803
00:40:25,609 --> 00:40:27,709
is us tracking her down together.
804
00:40:28,723 --> 00:40:30,089
We messed up.
805
00:40:40,872 --> 00:40:43,677
Hey, you're home early.
How was the dance?
806
00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:46,443
It was fine.
807
00:40:47,775 --> 00:40:49,751
I mean, it's not the
Met Ball or anything...
808
00:40:50,432 --> 00:40:52,130
Tell me about it. You can cheer me up.
809
00:40:53,103 --> 00:40:54,569
I'm super tired, Mom.
810
00:41:00,307 --> 00:41:01,606
Is everything okay?
811
00:41:04,405 --> 00:41:06,205
Ronnie, what is it?
812
00:41:14,191 --> 00:41:17,559
JUGHEAD: It was midnight, and
my old friend Archie Andrews
813
00:41:17,561 --> 00:41:21,106
arrived at the one place in
town that was still open.
814
00:41:21,131 --> 00:41:23,598
He was looking for the girl next door.
815
00:41:25,702 --> 00:41:27,969
Instead, he found me.
816
00:41:30,929 --> 00:41:34,228
Hey, Pop. Betty hasn't
come in tonight, has she?
817
00:41:34,253 --> 00:41:37,712
Nope. Just the night hawks in tonight.
818
00:41:38,974 --> 00:41:40,340
Thanks.
819
00:41:47,791 --> 00:41:49,524
Uh, can I sit, Jughead?
820
00:41:50,027 --> 00:41:51,293
If you want.
821
00:41:53,665 --> 00:41:56,166
- What are you working on?
- My novel.
822
00:41:57,088 --> 00:41:59,548
It's about this summer,
and Jason Blossom.
823
00:41:59,573 --> 00:42:02,464
Seventeen years old and
how will he be remembered?
824
00:42:03,608 --> 00:42:05,640
As captain of the water polo team?
825
00:42:05,642 --> 00:42:07,309
The Aquaholics?
826
00:42:07,334 --> 00:42:10,512
Considering how he died, probably not.
827
00:42:10,537 --> 00:42:12,414
No, what I mean is...
828
00:42:14,585 --> 00:42:17,214
Was he doing everything
he was supposed to do,
829
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,315
everything he wanted. I mean,
did he even know what that was?
830
00:42:25,062 --> 00:42:27,128
Coach Clayton was in
here talking to Pop Tate.
831
00:42:27,598 --> 00:42:28,830
Varsity.
832
00:42:30,234 --> 00:42:33,268
Does that make you, what,
Mr. Popular Football God now?
833
00:42:33,293 --> 00:42:34,693
No.
834
00:42:36,896 --> 00:42:38,306
In fact, I'm kind of terrified
835
00:42:38,308 --> 00:42:40,175
I lost my best friend tonight.
836
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,399
If you mean Betty,
837
00:42:41,424 --> 00:42:44,479
whatever happened, just talk to her.
838
00:42:44,481 --> 00:42:47,148
You know, it'd go a long way.
839
00:42:51,505 --> 00:42:53,105
Would've gone a long way with me.
840
00:43:24,488 --> 00:43:25,987
I'm not going to ask what you did
841
00:43:25,989 --> 00:43:27,689
with Veronica at Cheryl's.
842
00:43:30,811 --> 00:43:32,994
But I'm asking you now, right now,
843
00:43:32,996 --> 00:43:34,796
if you love me, Archie.
844
00:43:36,782 --> 00:43:38,980
Or even like me?
845
00:43:39,005 --> 00:43:40,902
Of course I love you, Betty.
846
00:43:43,615 --> 00:43:45,802
But I can't give you
the answer you want.
847
00:43:46,877 --> 00:43:48,209
Why?
848
00:43:51,784 --> 00:43:53,351
You are so perfect.
849
00:43:53,376 --> 00:43:55,550
(SIGHS AND SNIFFLES)
850
00:43:55,552 --> 00:43:57,719
I've never been good enough for you.
851
00:43:59,284 --> 00:44:00,984
I'll never be good enough for you.
852
00:44:20,143 --> 00:44:23,878
JUGHEAD: And so, it wasn't one
heart that broke that night.
853
00:44:23,903 --> 00:44:25,269
It was two.
854
00:44:27,718 --> 00:44:30,085
And the night was far from over.
855
00:44:35,090 --> 00:44:37,792
For the record, I'm not gay.
856
00:44:37,794 --> 00:44:40,662
(CHUCKLES) Obviously not, Moose.
You're on the football team.
857
00:44:40,664 --> 00:44:43,634
But if you were gay,
what would you like to do?
858
00:44:43,659 --> 00:44:45,967
Everything but kiss.
859
00:44:45,992 --> 00:44:48,097
(LAUGHS) I love a good closet case.
860
00:44:48,122 --> 00:44:51,573
So, let's start with skinny-dipping
861
00:44:51,575 --> 00:44:53,174
and then see what happens?
862
00:44:53,176 --> 00:44:56,311
Dude, are you okay?
863
00:45:12,896 --> 00:45:14,295
Oh, my God, it's Jason.
864
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:15,753
He was shot.
865
00:45:17,801 --> 00:45:21,536
JUGHEAD: By morning, everyone
would be talking, texting,
866
00:45:21,538 --> 00:45:23,405
and posting about it.
867
00:45:23,407 --> 00:45:25,340
We'd all be feeling it.
868
00:45:25,365 --> 00:45:29,900
That the world around us had
changed, maybe forever.
869
00:45:30,999 --> 00:45:34,537
That Riverdale wasn't the
same town as before.
870
00:45:34,562 --> 00:45:38,119
That it was a town of
shadows and secrets now.
871
00:45:38,542 --> 00:45:41,733
On Monday, the autopsy on Jason's body
872
00:45:41,758 --> 00:45:42,924
would take place.
873
00:45:42,949 --> 00:45:47,328
And on Tuesday, halfway
through fifth period,
874
00:45:47,353 --> 00:45:49,822
the first arrest would be made.
