1
00:00:01,084 --> 00:00:02,449
[Archie]
Previously on Riverdale...
2
00:00:02,527 --> 00:00:04,100
I don't think
I can go back to Riverdale.
3
00:00:04,172 --> 00:00:06,547
[Jughead] Hiram's gonna follow
you, or us, wherever we go.
4
00:00:06,625 --> 00:00:07,901
Where is he?
5
00:00:07,979 --> 00:00:09,100
[Archie] So, what's the plan?
6
00:00:09,177 --> 00:00:10,274
We'll go see my mom.
7
00:00:10,361 --> 00:00:12,572
[Betty] Seizures aren't contagious.
So what?
8
00:00:12,652 --> 00:00:15,162
[Alice] The sisters protected me.
They protected Polly.
9
00:00:15,242 --> 00:00:16,875
They'll watch over you now.
10
00:00:16,994 --> 00:00:18,363
[Jughead] They make drugs
inside the prison,
11
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,297
which all the kids take
when they play G&G.
12
00:00:20,409 --> 00:00:21,649
All of it is
connected, Archie.
13
00:00:21,731 --> 00:00:25,201
[Betty] What kind of business does Hiram
Lodge have with Sister Woodhouse,
14
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:27,529
and how are the Blossoms
connected to it?
15
00:00:27,607 --> 00:00:30,697
You've been
a very bad girl, Betty.
16
00:00:30,777 --> 00:00:32,409
You haven't been
taking your candy.
17
00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:34,402
Wonderful, wonderful work.
18
00:00:34,544 --> 00:00:36,632
[Betty] My King, my savior.
19
00:00:39,732 --> 00:00:41,407
[Jughead] It was a day
like any other.
20
00:00:43,459 --> 00:00:45,110
Everything seemed normal.
21
00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:46,858
Students went to class,
22
00:00:47,271 --> 00:00:49,652
the Vixens prepared for
the annual prep rally.
23
00:00:51,219 --> 00:00:54,279
Couples had their stolen
moments in quiet classrooms.
24
00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:55,519
[both moaning]
25
00:00:55,608 --> 00:00:56,931
You wanna take
another hit?
26
00:00:57,025 --> 00:00:58,400
Less talking,
27
00:00:58,689 --> 00:01:00,479
more kissing.
28
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,859
But in Riverdale, there's
no such thing as normal,
29
00:01:03,939 --> 00:01:06,199
as Cheryl Blossom was
about to discover.
30
00:01:06,269 --> 00:01:07,959
[Cheryl screaming]
31
00:01:15,209 --> 00:01:17,579
Help! Help us. Somebody help!
32
00:01:17,659 --> 00:01:18,964
[Ethel]
Your group is stricken,
33
00:01:19,139 --> 00:01:20,999
infected with poison,
34
00:01:21,164 --> 00:01:22,397
compromised.
35
00:01:23,114 --> 00:01:25,589
And now,
you're all alone.
36
00:01:26,091 --> 00:01:29,099
You hear the heavy,
scraping footsteps
37
00:01:29,253 --> 00:01:31,651
of some horrific
monstrosity.
38
00:01:31,787 --> 00:01:34,416
Girls. Time for your candy.
39
00:01:42,349 --> 00:01:44,373
[Betty vomiting and coughing]
40
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:49,789
[toilet flushing]
41
00:01:56,919 --> 00:01:58,219
[sighs]
42
00:02:00,789 --> 00:02:02,130
[bangs on truck]
43
00:02:04,999 --> 00:02:06,429
Well, this is
definitely the place.
44
00:02:06,761 --> 00:02:08,156
You guys lost?
45
00:02:08,339 --> 00:02:09,969
Or looking to pick up
some merch?
46
00:02:10,224 --> 00:02:11,979
We're looking for
Gladys Jones.
47
00:02:13,093 --> 00:02:14,143
I'm family.
48
00:02:14,221 --> 00:02:15,666
We need a place to stay.
49
00:02:17,009 --> 00:02:19,402
- Jughead?
- Jellybean?
50
00:02:20,529 --> 00:02:22,754
Thought I smelled
something rotten.
51
00:02:24,139 --> 00:02:27,668
You heard him.
Open the damn gate.
52
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:36,387
[both chuckling]
53
00:02:42,129 --> 00:02:47,157
You, mon petit amour,
are officially on bed rest.
54
00:02:47,249 --> 00:02:49,842
I've brewed you a pot
of Vintage Narcissus tea,
55
00:02:50,054 --> 00:02:53,305
and our family physician,
Dr. Caligari, is on call
56
00:02:53,469 --> 00:02:55,482
should you feel
another spell coming along.
57
00:02:55,695 --> 00:02:57,856
I'm feeling much better,
Cheryl.
58
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:01,590
But what if what happened
to me is contagious?
59
00:03:01,779 --> 00:03:03,727
Oh, T.T.,
60
00:03:03,819 --> 00:03:06,504
Ship's Fever
couldn't keep me away.
61
00:03:06,596 --> 00:03:09,927
My four-poster bed
is your four-poster bed.
62
00:03:10,019 --> 00:03:12,284
You can stay here
for as long as you like.
63
00:03:13,529 --> 00:03:17,067
Even... permanently?
64
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:20,187
You mean, like,
move in with you?
65
00:03:20,279 --> 00:03:24,678
[chuckles] I'm cuckoo bananas
for you, obvi.
66
00:03:24,999 --> 00:03:26,674
Won't you move in?
67
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:31,360
As long as
I'm the big spoon.
68
00:03:32,349 --> 00:03:34,014
[giggling]
69
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:39,684
[indistinct chatter]
70
00:03:46,529 --> 00:03:48,428
[Hermione]
I believed you, Hiram.
71
00:03:48,506 --> 00:03:50,248
[Hiram] It's under control.
[Hermione] No, I supported you,
72
00:03:50,325 --> 00:03:52,829
and you swore to me
that this wouldn't happen.
73
00:03:52,907 --> 00:03:54,670
[Hiram] It was
a miscalculation.
74
00:03:54,827 --> 00:03:56,467
Now, out of strife
comes opportunity,
75
00:03:56,641 --> 00:03:58,042
and now
the timing is perfect.
76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,758
What is going on?
77
00:04:00,172 --> 00:04:01,482
Why am I back here?
78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,117
[sighs] Veronica,
79
00:04:03,316 --> 00:04:05,237
thank God you are awake.
80
00:04:05,329 --> 00:04:08,144
We brought you home as soon as
Weatherbee called us.
81
00:04:08,236 --> 00:04:09,604
You had a seizure, mija.
82
00:04:09,744 --> 00:04:10,761
What?
83
00:04:10,839 --> 00:04:12,577
It's all the stress
you've been under.
84
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:14,824
Getting dropped by Archie,
running two businesses.
85
00:04:14,916 --> 00:04:17,994
Which is why we've decided
to send you to New York.
86
00:04:18,086 --> 00:04:19,877
You'll finally get some rest,
87
00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:21,419
and we'll get you in
with the best doctors.
88
00:04:21,496 --> 00:04:23,807
Uh, I'm not leaving town.
89
00:04:23,899 --> 00:04:26,137
Sheriff Minetta's body
turns up gangland style,
90
00:04:26,229 --> 00:04:27,334
without his hands or head,
91
00:04:27,426 --> 00:04:30,774
and you wanna ship me off
to New York? Why?
92
00:04:32,109 --> 00:04:34,824
No answer? Fascinating.
93
00:04:36,409 --> 00:04:38,407
[Veronica] My parents
are up to something, Reggie.
94
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:40,123
I mean, they're always
up to something,
95
00:04:40,218 --> 00:04:42,987
but they tried
to banish me to New York,
96
00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:44,947
which is a new one for them.
97
00:04:45,025 --> 00:04:49,125
It's like they don't want me
around for whatever's coming next.
98
00:04:49,271 --> 00:04:51,186
- [door opens]
- [boys laughing]
99
00:04:56,196 --> 00:04:58,731
Has everyone lost their minds?
100
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:01,877
Is Jingle-Jangle
suddenly a thing again?
101
00:05:01,969 --> 00:05:03,457
That was so last year.
102
00:05:03,539 --> 00:05:05,475
I'm not sure it's the Jangle.
103
00:05:06,349 --> 00:05:08,047
Your dad's pulling it
off the market
104
00:05:08,139 --> 00:05:10,071
and replacing it with
some new candy.
105
00:05:10,168 --> 00:05:11,339
Fizzle Rocks.
106
00:05:11,417 --> 00:05:12,642
Dealt by the Ghoulies?
107
00:05:12,793 --> 00:05:14,927
No. A new gang.
108
00:05:15,019 --> 00:05:16,704
- [Veronica sighs]
- The Gargoyles.
109
00:05:16,829 --> 00:05:18,227
[scoffs]
110
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,334
With ties, no doubt,
to this godforsaken
111
00:05:21,426 --> 00:05:23,527
G&G everyone's playing.
112
00:05:23,619 --> 00:05:27,814
And what, pray tell, is my father's
skin in that particular game, I wonder.
113
00:05:27,906 --> 00:05:31,657
Reggie, I need you to do
some sussing for me
114
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:35,548
and find out what you can
about these Fizzle Rocks.
115
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,207
On it.
116
00:05:37,299 --> 00:05:40,354
Last year, I helped my parents
spin their criminal web
117
00:05:40,446 --> 00:05:44,008
and good people
like Archie got hurt.
118
00:05:44,357 --> 00:05:47,284
This year, I'm going to be
a fly in their ointment.
119
00:05:47,376 --> 00:05:51,144
Whatever they're up to,
I will stop them.
120
00:05:51,489 --> 00:05:53,900
Jughead? [gasps]
121
00:05:54,139 --> 00:05:55,354
Hi, Mom.
122
00:05:59,432 --> 00:06:01,185
Oh, Jug.
123
00:06:03,159 --> 00:06:04,912
Oh!
124
00:06:06,069 --> 00:06:08,934
You feel like a...
Like a bag of tire irons.
125
00:06:09,026 --> 00:06:11,237
[sniffles]
Are you eating?
126
00:06:11,329 --> 00:06:14,014
Ugh, you're not
a vegetarian now, are you?
127
00:06:14,106 --> 00:06:16,408
- You wound me, Mother.
- [laughs]
128
00:06:18,203 --> 00:06:19,491
[Gladys] Oh...
129
00:06:19,569 --> 00:06:22,273
[chuckles] I recognize
that rooster top.
130
00:06:22,351 --> 00:06:24,172
Archie Andrews?
131
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:26,689
[laughs] Oh!
132
00:06:26,969 --> 00:06:29,781
Gosh, you sure grew up.
133
00:06:30,969 --> 00:06:34,331
Oh! So...
134
00:06:34,619 --> 00:06:37,169
You two finally
got together, huh?
135
00:06:37,247 --> 00:06:39,862
I always knew there was
something going on between you.
136
00:06:40,096 --> 00:06:43,017
Uh, no, we're not
together together.
137
00:06:43,109 --> 00:06:44,909
- We're just on the road together.
- [Archie] Yeah.
138
00:06:44,986 --> 00:06:47,027
- Like a bromance.
- Sure.
139
00:06:47,119 --> 00:06:49,054
I know you didn't come to
Toledo for the weather.
140
00:06:49,146 --> 00:06:50,344
What's going on?
141
00:06:50,436 --> 00:06:53,989
Why didn't you call me,
tell me you were coming?
142
00:06:54,563 --> 00:06:56,758
Last time I called,
you told me I couldn't come.
143
00:06:56,906 --> 00:07:00,008
Well, [sighs] that was
a different time.
144
00:07:03,001 --> 00:07:06,119
Hey, I got my GED now.
145
00:07:06,339 --> 00:07:08,847
Hmm? I started
this whole place up.
146
00:07:08,939 --> 00:07:11,137
I am a legit
businesswoman now.
147
00:07:11,229 --> 00:07:15,074
Hey, Gladys, tailpipe just came in
with these. Where do you want 'em?
148
00:07:15,166 --> 00:07:18,557
Yeah, not right now, Lugnut.
149
00:07:18,649 --> 00:07:21,517
Oh, hey, hold up.
Get the crew together, huh?
150
00:07:21,609 --> 00:07:23,384
Tell 'em my son's come home.
151
00:07:23,522 --> 00:07:25,138
And his best pal, too.
152
00:07:25,226 --> 00:07:28,277
Tonight,
we are going to feast.
153
00:07:28,424 --> 00:07:29,698
Whoa, yeah!
154
00:07:29,776 --> 00:07:31,281
[Gladys chuckles]
155
00:07:33,045 --> 00:07:34,710
[Alice] Betty,
you look terrible.
156
00:07:34,909 --> 00:07:36,777
Thank you, Mom.
157
00:07:36,869 --> 00:07:39,634
Did you come here
just to tell me that?
158
00:07:40,589 --> 00:07:43,063
I thought you were
staying at the Farm.
159
00:07:43,456 --> 00:07:46,177
I am, but the school board
reached out.
160
00:07:46,269 --> 00:07:48,499
They're having an emergency
meeting, and I want to be there.
161
00:07:48,576 --> 00:07:50,207
Meeting about what?
162
00:07:50,299 --> 00:07:53,467
Apparently, there was
a mass seizure at school.
163
00:07:53,559 --> 00:07:55,557
Like the same one
that you had.
164
00:07:55,649 --> 00:07:58,430
Whatever caused yours
spread to the Vixens.
165
00:07:58,508 --> 00:08:01,028
All of them?
Including Veronica?
166
00:08:01,106 --> 00:08:03,109
She's one of the fallen, yes.
167
00:08:03,187 --> 00:08:04,495
Oh, my God.
168
00:08:05,119 --> 00:08:06,437
Poor V.
169
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:09,424
I'm just glad that
you were here, honey.
170
00:08:09,516 --> 00:08:11,704
Safe with the sisters.
171
00:08:15,579 --> 00:08:17,824
[Betty] We have
a very special relationship.
172
00:08:17,916 --> 00:08:21,827
He tells me secrets,
gives me personal quests.
173
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:24,329
And I know people are scared of
him because he's all-powerful,
174
00:08:24,406 --> 00:08:26,997
but he's honestly super-funny.
175
00:08:27,089 --> 00:08:28,364
Who's super-funny?
176
00:08:28,456 --> 00:08:29,667
Oh, hey, Ethel.
177
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,414
I was just
telling everyone about
178
00:08:31,506 --> 00:08:34,654
how the Gargoyle King and I
have gotten really close.
179
00:08:34,746 --> 00:08:36,014
Very funny, Betty.
180
00:08:36,106 --> 00:08:38,727
It's true.
After I met him,
181
00:08:38,819 --> 00:08:41,212
I couldn't get him
out of my head, you know?
182
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:43,114
He's amazing.
183
00:08:43,859 --> 00:08:46,074
Yesterday, he said...
184
00:08:49,099 --> 00:08:50,247
Nevermind.
185
00:08:50,330 --> 00:08:51,655
He said what?
186
00:08:53,721 --> 00:08:55,516
Yesterday, he said
187
00:08:56,329 --> 00:08:58,774
- I was his new favorite.
- [girls gasp]
188
00:08:58,866 --> 00:09:01,697
That... That's not possible.
189
00:09:01,789 --> 00:09:04,358
You're not
worthy enough for him.
190
00:09:04,469 --> 00:09:07,725
You're making all this up
to make fun of me, aren't you?
191
00:09:07,820 --> 00:09:09,811
Of course not, Ethel.
192
00:09:11,019 --> 00:09:13,357
But if you don't
believe me,
193
00:09:13,449 --> 00:09:15,807
you should go
ask him yourself.
194
00:09:15,899 --> 00:09:19,768
Or you and I can go talk to
the Gargoyle King together.
195
00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:23,175
You do have the keys
to his chamber, don't you?
196
00:09:28,824 --> 00:09:29,852
What?
197
00:09:29,930 --> 00:09:31,895
Ethel, are you scared?
198
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,074
Everyone is intimidated by a shark. Become
a Card Shark AMERICASCARDROOM.COM
199
00:09:43,669 --> 00:09:44,839
What are you doing?
Open the door!
200
00:09:44,916 --> 00:09:46,127
I can't, Ethel,
201
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:49,207
and I'm sorry, but I need
to fast-track my plans,
202
00:09:49,299 --> 00:09:51,092
and you're my best shot
at converting someone.
203
00:09:51,169 --> 00:09:52,679
You're going to make him angry.
You're disrespecting...
204
00:09:52,756 --> 00:09:54,614
The Gargoyle King
isn't real, Ethel.
205
00:09:54,706 --> 00:09:55,967
He's a hallucination.
206
00:09:56,059 --> 00:09:58,424
The candy that the Sisters
have been giving us?
207
00:09:58,516 --> 00:10:00,784
It's a drug,
it's making you see things.
208
00:10:00,876 --> 00:10:02,597
Stop it! Stop lying!
209
00:10:02,689 --> 00:10:06,454
Once the drug wears off in a
few hours, you'll see, okay?
210
00:10:06,546 --> 00:10:08,234
You'll see the truth.
211
00:10:11,029 --> 00:10:12,249
[growling]
212
00:10:14,579 --> 00:10:15,919
[screams]
213
00:10:25,039 --> 00:10:27,720
[Betty] Ethel, I'm back.
214
00:10:29,547 --> 00:10:31,342
Are you okay?
215
00:10:32,942 --> 00:10:35,030
[Ethel] I don't understand.
216
00:10:38,099 --> 00:10:40,184
It's just a statue.
217
00:10:41,199 --> 00:10:43,104
But I saw him.
218
00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:51,117
We all did
219
00:10:51,336 --> 00:10:54,854
because we were high
on Fizzle Rocks.
220
00:10:55,141 --> 00:10:57,889
The sisters feed us drugs
221
00:10:57,981 --> 00:11:01,376
that make us susceptible to
visions that they suggest.
222
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,606
They let us play the game,
and then they use
223
00:11:03,698 --> 00:11:06,319
our delusions of
the Gargoyle King
224
00:11:06,411 --> 00:11:08,486
to scare us
into submission.
225
00:11:08,578 --> 00:11:11,071
- That can't be.
- It is.
226
00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:15,499
The sisters are running some
kind of scam with Hiram Lodge.
227
00:11:15,591 --> 00:11:18,990
I think he's paying them to
test his drugs on the patients.
228
00:11:19,068 --> 00:11:21,936
But I've seen him,
in real life.
229
00:11:22,134 --> 00:11:24,275
In my hospital room.
230
00:11:24,431 --> 00:11:26,016
The Gargoyle King, he...
231
00:11:27,261 --> 00:11:29,660
- He's out there.
- I know.
232
00:11:30,031 --> 00:11:32,687
I saw the Gargoyle King
in town, too,
233
00:11:32,941 --> 00:11:34,629
or someone
dressed up as him.
234
00:11:34,721 --> 00:11:37,706
At any rate, it doesn't
change the fact that in here,
235
00:11:37,798 --> 00:11:39,996
he's just a hunk of cement.
236
00:11:42,741 --> 00:11:43,976
I can't believe it.
237
00:11:44,068 --> 00:11:45,689
I need your help, Ethel.
238
00:11:45,781 --> 00:11:49,556
Sister Woodhouse must know more
about G&G than she's letting on.
239
00:11:49,648 --> 00:11:52,669
This game is literally
killing people.
240
00:11:53,411 --> 00:11:56,243
Think about Dilton and Ben.
241
00:11:56,631 --> 00:12:00,756
If we know more, then we can stop
those things from happening again.
242
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:05,049
We just need
Sister Woodhouse to fess up
243
00:12:05,141 --> 00:12:08,789
before we can escape
and shut this place down.
244
00:12:08,881 --> 00:12:10,576
How are we going to escape?
245
00:12:10,668 --> 00:12:12,396
First things first.
246
00:12:13,141 --> 00:12:14,806
Sister Woodhouse.
247
00:12:19,257 --> 00:12:21,093
[Weatherbee on PA] Attention,
students, we are hereby
248
00:12:21,145 --> 00:12:23,101
closing the student lounge.
Please exit immediately...
249
00:12:23,178 --> 00:12:25,809
First, they cancel sports
and extracurriculars,
250
00:12:25,901 --> 00:12:28,733
now they're shutting down the lounge?
What is going on?
251
00:12:28,991 --> 00:12:33,000
As Student Body President, please tell me
you've got some insider information to share.
252
00:12:33,397 --> 00:12:37,489
Though my powers as Dauphine of
Riverdale High aren't absolute yet,
253
00:12:37,581 --> 00:12:39,859
I am CC'd on
all School Board emails.
254
00:12:39,951 --> 00:12:41,898
And they're having
a meeting tonight.
255
00:12:42,148 --> 00:12:44,739
I think to discuss
shutting down the school.
256
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:47,536
And, Veronica, your parents
are leading the charge.
257
00:12:47,628 --> 00:12:48,954
Of course they are.
258
00:12:49,032 --> 00:12:51,487
That is exactly what my dad
did with Southside High,
259
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:54,038
and he definitely had
ulterior motives then.
260
00:12:54,178 --> 00:12:55,493
Oh, my God.
261
00:12:55,636 --> 00:12:57,339
[school bell ringing]
262
00:12:57,431 --> 00:12:59,616
And now Riverdale High
is officially a hot zone?
263
00:12:59,814 --> 00:13:01,342
[all screaming]
264
00:13:05,531 --> 00:13:07,946
- That's one of the infected.
- Go, Veronica, run.
265
00:13:11,321 --> 00:13:13,209
Drugs, gargoyles,
266
00:13:13,301 --> 00:13:15,369
mystery men
in hazmat suits,
267
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:16,756
and secret
School Board meetings?
268
00:13:16,848 --> 00:13:18,446
How does it all tie together?
269
00:13:18,538 --> 00:13:21,449
Not sure,
but I got some suss for you.
270
00:13:21,541 --> 00:13:22,936
According to my sources,
271
00:13:23,028 --> 00:13:26,959
the Fizzle Rocks distributors,
aka the Gargoyles,
272
00:13:27,051 --> 00:13:29,186
are giving their product
out to people for free.
273
00:13:29,278 --> 00:13:32,318
I've seen enough episodes of
Narcos" to know this scheme.
274
00:13:32,818 --> 00:13:34,239
Hook them with a first taste,
275
00:13:34,348 --> 00:13:36,469
then they're
customers for life.
276
00:13:36,561 --> 00:13:38,666
And Daddy's always
playing the long game.
277
00:13:38,758 --> 00:13:40,636
For sure,
and here's the kicker.
278
00:13:40,728 --> 00:13:43,239
Fizzle Rocks are coming
from the Southside,
279
00:13:43,331 --> 00:13:45,899
right out of the prison
your dad's been building.
280
00:13:45,991 --> 00:13:48,266
That must be where
he moved his candy factory to
281
00:13:48,358 --> 00:13:49,569
after Cheryl, Toni, and I
282
00:13:49,661 --> 00:13:51,596
- busted his lab at the Whyte Wyrm.
- Hmm.
283
00:13:51,688 --> 00:13:53,576
And speaking of Cheryl...
284
00:13:56,391 --> 00:14:01,569
Cheryl? What time is that
School Board meeting and where?
285
00:14:01,661 --> 00:14:04,419
No child should step foot
through these doors
286
00:14:04,526 --> 00:14:08,854
until we have figured out what's going on
in this toxic petri dish of contagion.
287
00:14:08,931 --> 00:14:11,476
We're taking as many precautions
as we can, Mrs. Blossom.
288
00:14:11,568 --> 00:14:14,592
What we should be doing is
tracking down patient zero
289
00:14:14,735 --> 00:14:17,009
and running every test
in Western medicine on them.
290
00:14:17,101 --> 00:14:20,480
Okay, tonight's discussion is
regarding the fate of Riverdale High.
291
00:14:20,558 --> 00:14:21,930
Can we please stay on topic?
292
00:14:22,031 --> 00:14:23,526
[Hiram]
To Mrs. Blossom's point,
293
00:14:23,618 --> 00:14:26,546
my wife and I are in full agreement.
Most parents are.
294
00:14:26,638 --> 00:14:30,796
I mean, five more kids experienced
seizures just this afternoon.
295
00:14:30,888 --> 00:14:32,536
Isn't that right, Waldo?
296
00:14:33,447 --> 00:14:34,489
Yeah.
297
00:14:34,581 --> 00:14:37,149
Which is why
tonight, as mayor,
298
00:14:37,241 --> 00:14:39,289
I am signing
an executive order
299
00:14:39,381 --> 00:14:41,029
shutting down Riverdale High,
300
00:14:41,121 --> 00:14:42,486
at least until
it's deemed safe.
301
00:14:42,578 --> 00:14:44,529
Stop it right there!
302
00:14:44,621 --> 00:14:47,890
The CDC hasn't set foot
in Riverdale High. -Fact!
303
00:14:48,056 --> 00:14:51,344
And now my parents are bullying
you all into closing it.
304
00:14:51,634 --> 00:14:54,347
Sounds exactly like what you
did with Southside High,
305
00:14:54,546 --> 00:14:56,369
which you're now
using as a drug factory.
306
00:14:56,461 --> 00:14:58,091
Wait a minute. I thought
Southside High property
307
00:14:58,168 --> 00:15:00,076
was being developed
into a prison.
308
00:15:00,168 --> 00:15:02,259
That's just his cover,
Mrs. Cooper.
309
00:15:02,351 --> 00:15:04,346
Is that your plan here,
too, Daddy?
310
00:15:04,438 --> 00:15:08,269
Trump up a way to get another
huge parcel of land on the cheap,
311
00:15:08,361 --> 00:15:10,876
then expand your
ever-growing drug empire,
312
00:15:10,968 --> 00:15:14,309
which now consists, almost
exclusively, of Fizzle Rocks?
313
00:15:14,401 --> 00:15:16,876
Veronica, what are you
even talking about?
314
00:15:16,968 --> 00:15:18,619
That's okay, mi amor.
315
00:15:18,831 --> 00:15:20,756
There's a reason
for this meeting, right?
316
00:15:20,911 --> 00:15:22,466
To air out concerns.
317
00:15:22,558 --> 00:15:24,609
We called the CDC.
318
00:15:24,701 --> 00:15:28,449
They wouldn't send anyone to investigate
such a low priority crisis.
319
00:15:28,541 --> 00:15:30,226
They think
it's all psychological.
320
00:15:30,318 --> 00:15:32,249
So, we took some initiative.
321
00:15:32,341 --> 00:15:34,039
The men you saw
in hazmat gear,
322
00:15:34,131 --> 00:15:37,446
they were hired from a private
firm to run exhaustive tests.
323
00:15:37,538 --> 00:15:40,236
And Southside High
is becoming a prison,
324
00:15:40,328 --> 00:15:42,169
not a drug factory.
325
00:15:42,261 --> 00:15:44,341
If you'd like the names of the
guards we've recently hired,
326
00:15:44,418 --> 00:15:46,066
I'd happily provide a list.
327
00:15:48,221 --> 00:15:49,736
Have I left anything out?
328
00:15:52,795 --> 00:15:55,083
Yes, you have.
329
00:15:55,231 --> 00:15:57,636
The part about how
you're producing Fizzle Rocks
330
00:15:57,728 --> 00:15:59,136
and giving it away for free
331
00:15:59,228 --> 00:16:01,786
to get every teenager
in Riverdale hooked.
332
00:16:02,825 --> 00:16:05,048
And I suppose I'm also
the Gargoyle King,
333
00:16:05,213 --> 00:16:07,798
as Jughead Jones accused me of being?
[laughs]
334
00:16:08,018 --> 00:16:10,199
Oh, poor deluded girl.
335
00:16:10,291 --> 00:16:13,486
I hear tell that these
seizures cause hallucinations,
336
00:16:13,578 --> 00:16:16,826
and isn't this child
one of the afflicted?
337
00:16:16,918 --> 00:16:20,238
On that note,
where are the cheerleaders?
338
00:16:20,421 --> 00:16:22,496
I speak for
the disappeared Vixens.
339
00:16:22,588 --> 00:16:23,729
What of them?
340
00:16:23,821 --> 00:16:25,181
Where were they taken?
And by whom?
341
00:16:25,258 --> 00:16:28,009
Those girls went to
Riverdale General
342
00:16:28,101 --> 00:16:30,407
where I'm sure they're receiving
the best medical care possible.
343
00:16:30,484 --> 00:16:33,135
And being dissected like
fetal pigs, no doubt!
344
00:16:33,241 --> 00:16:35,706
You messed with my squad, which
means you messed with me.
345
00:16:35,798 --> 00:16:38,012
Now I demand real answers!
346
00:16:41,202 --> 00:16:42,700
What?
347
00:16:42,951 --> 00:16:44,056
What is it, you viper?
348
00:16:44,148 --> 00:16:45,341
[groaning]
349
00:16:55,956 --> 00:16:57,669
[Gladys] Hiram Lodge, huh?
350
00:16:57,761 --> 00:17:00,166
That good-looking short stack
was always trouble.
351
00:17:00,258 --> 00:17:02,006
But why go after Archie?
352
00:17:04,511 --> 00:17:06,916
Archie was the only one that
stood up to him, defied him.
353
00:17:07,008 --> 00:17:09,066
Not to mention, I also date...
354
00:17:09,681 --> 00:17:10,996
Dated his daughter.
355
00:17:11,088 --> 00:17:12,189
Oh. [chuckles]
356
00:17:12,281 --> 00:17:14,759
"Dated"?
As in, no longer dating?
357
00:17:14,851 --> 00:17:16,646
- As in, single?
- Relax, Jellybean.
358
00:17:16,738 --> 00:17:18,626
It's JB now, Kid Kerouac.
359
00:17:18,718 --> 00:17:20,979
- [scoffs]
- Archie.
360
00:17:21,071 --> 00:17:23,672
Have you spoken to your dad
through any of this?
361
00:17:24,934 --> 00:17:28,939
I wish.
I wish I could... see him,
362
00:17:29,701 --> 00:17:31,069
tell him how I'm doing.
363
00:17:31,161 --> 00:17:33,799
But it's too risky. He'd
drag me home by the collar.
364
00:17:33,891 --> 00:17:35,626
Riverdale's not where
I need to be.
365
00:17:37,808 --> 00:17:39,396
Pig's ready!
366
00:17:39,561 --> 00:17:41,041
[Gladys] All right.
You heard the guy.
367
00:17:41,118 --> 00:17:43,406
Archie, go get yourself
a hot meal.
368
00:17:43,498 --> 00:17:45,016
Cheek's the best part.
369
00:17:45,421 --> 00:17:46,806
[Gladys chuckles]
370
00:17:50,431 --> 00:17:52,679
All right,
371
00:17:52,771 --> 00:17:54,679
so tell me about
this game thing.
372
00:17:54,771 --> 00:17:56,876
This thing that you and
Archie are mixed up in.
373
00:17:56,968 --> 00:17:58,256
Gryphons and Gargoyles?
374
00:17:58,348 --> 00:18:00,139
How involved with this
are you?
375
00:18:00,231 --> 00:18:01,676
Well, it's more than
just a game.
376
00:18:01,768 --> 00:18:04,176
It's got larger implications
for all of Riverdale.
377
00:18:04,268 --> 00:18:06,749
I'm just trying to crack it.
Get underneath it.
378
00:18:06,841 --> 00:18:08,446
Figure out
who's behind all this.
379
00:18:08,975 --> 00:18:11,453
Hiram, it sounds like.
380
00:18:12,221 --> 00:18:15,359
Is he the one who gave you
that nasty scar on your arm?
381
00:18:15,451 --> 00:18:17,056
- You saw that, huh?
- Yeah, it's bad.
382
00:18:17,155 --> 00:18:19,162
No, that was, uh... [sighs]
383
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:27,910
audio not proper...
..any the quench?
384
00:18:27,988 --> 00:18:30,046
So, she always had a beef
about your father and I.
385
00:18:30,138 --> 00:18:32,145
And then she does this?
She cuts up my son?
386
00:18:32,223 --> 00:18:34,487
You know, I never wanted this
for you, kid.
387
00:18:34,565 --> 00:18:36,169
I mean, you're Serpent King.
388
00:18:36,206 --> 00:18:38,196
I never wanted you
in the damn gang.
389
00:18:38,235 --> 00:18:43,393
Don't act all
high and mighty.
390
00:18:43,481 --> 00:18:46,189
I saw that kid
with the stereos earlier.
391
00:18:46,267 --> 00:18:48,338
You claimed to have left Riverdale
to get away from Serpent life,
392
00:18:48,415 --> 00:18:51,476
and here you are, chopping
cars and lifting their parts,
393
00:18:51,568 --> 00:18:54,209
- God knows what else.
- Hey.
394
00:18:54,301 --> 00:18:57,633
So what? So if we jack a
couple stereos here and there
395
00:18:57,711 --> 00:18:59,159
and we steal some hubcaps?
396
00:18:59,251 --> 00:19:01,576
I am feeding and taking care
of all these kids
397
00:19:01,668 --> 00:19:03,129
who have nowhere else to go.
398
00:19:03,221 --> 00:19:05,999
What am I supposed to do?
Just leave 'em high and dry?
399
00:19:06,091 --> 00:19:07,791
It's what you did to me,
isn't it?
400
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,959
[sighs]
401
00:19:12,231 --> 00:19:14,166
Come on, let's get
something to eat
402
00:19:14,258 --> 00:19:16,160
before there's something left.
403
00:19:29,662 --> 00:19:31,835
Surprised to see me, Red?
404
00:19:33,491 --> 00:19:34,926
There's a bounty on your hip,
405
00:19:35,018 --> 00:19:37,026
and you left more
breadcrumbs coming here
406
00:19:37,118 --> 00:19:39,246
than a chubby kid
in a fairytale.
407
00:19:39,358 --> 00:19:41,026
Red, keep quiet,
408
00:19:41,104 --> 00:19:43,429
I'll give you the luxury
of an open casket.
409
00:19:43,759 --> 00:19:46,571
[Jellybean] Not if I
put you in one first.
410
00:19:50,981 --> 00:19:53,049
Drop the butter knife, bitch.
411
00:19:53,141 --> 00:19:55,978
Careful, kid, you might
poke your eye out.
412
00:20:08,484 --> 00:20:11,862
You know, Penny, I'm not shocked
that a bottom-feeder like you
413
00:20:11,957 --> 00:20:13,896
is working with Hiram Lodge.
414
00:20:13,988 --> 00:20:16,804
You always had
unfixed allegiances.
415
00:20:16,958 --> 00:20:21,474
[scoffs] That's rich,
coming from Gladys Jones.
416
00:20:21,588 --> 00:20:22,801
Yeah, well...
417
00:20:22,879 --> 00:20:25,804
I am surprised that you're not
ratting him out right now.
418
00:20:25,910 --> 00:20:29,498
He must have something
real good on you, Penny-slot.
419
00:20:29,838 --> 00:20:31,306
I'm no snitch.
420
00:20:31,466 --> 00:20:33,151
But I will say this,
421
00:20:33,418 --> 00:20:35,396
Hiram won't stop.
422
00:20:36,210 --> 00:20:38,357
Not till he gets
what he wants.
423
00:20:38,561 --> 00:20:40,469
And right now, that's Red.
424
00:20:40,561 --> 00:20:44,386
And there's nothing that you, or
your little Lord of the Flies crew,
425
00:20:44,478 --> 00:20:46,826
or Jughead here can do.
426
00:20:47,441 --> 00:20:50,619
Hiram won't stop.
427
00:20:50,711 --> 00:20:53,150
Speaking of my Jug,
428
00:20:53,361 --> 00:20:56,026
I saw the work that
you did on him.
429
00:20:56,118 --> 00:20:59,339
You carved him up
like a Sunday roast.
430
00:20:59,431 --> 00:21:01,536
That was business
between me and him.
431
00:21:01,628 --> 00:21:03,659
Yeah, well, I'm his mama.
432
00:21:03,751 --> 00:21:05,426
So it's between
me and you now.
433
00:21:12,851 --> 00:21:17,429
All right, everyone,
go inside,
434
00:21:17,521 --> 00:21:20,196
me and Penny here, we're gonna
have us a little girl talk.
435
00:21:20,288 --> 00:21:21,686
Ask her about G&G,
436
00:21:22,831 --> 00:21:24,566
how Hiram fits into it all.
437
00:21:25,191 --> 00:21:26,526
Roger that.
438
00:21:32,227 --> 00:21:33,682
I wanted
to commend you.
439
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:37,214
The gusto you showed
in that meeting,
440
00:21:37,871 --> 00:21:39,376
that was audacious.
441
00:21:40,121 --> 00:21:42,126
- Congratulations.
- On what?
442
00:21:42,511 --> 00:21:44,109
On being right.
443
00:21:44,201 --> 00:21:47,459
About all of it.
Or at least most of it.
444
00:21:47,551 --> 00:21:50,646
I mean, it's so much bigger than
you're giving me credit for.
445
00:21:50,738 --> 00:21:52,896
This plan? What's coming next?
446
00:21:52,988 --> 00:21:55,476
It's practically biblical.
447
00:21:56,361 --> 00:21:57,749
Years in the making.
448
00:21:57,841 --> 00:21:59,316
- What is it?
- [scoffs]
449
00:22:00,401 --> 00:22:01,996
What do you
really want, Daddy?
450
00:22:02,088 --> 00:22:03,856
What every king wants.
451
00:22:04,571 --> 00:22:05,571
A kingdom.
452
00:22:06,771 --> 00:22:08,439
And a legacy.
453
00:22:08,531 --> 00:22:10,526
You know,
once things are in place,
454
00:22:11,571 --> 00:22:13,729
I'm hoping you'll join me.
455
00:22:13,821 --> 00:22:15,349
Take a seat
at my right hand
456
00:22:15,441 --> 00:22:17,286
and help me oversee
the new order.
457
00:22:21,531 --> 00:22:23,336
You're deluded, Daddy.
458
00:22:24,501 --> 00:22:27,546
Also, you're not untouchable.
459
00:22:28,181 --> 00:22:30,619
Maybe in Riverdale you are,
460
00:22:30,711 --> 00:22:34,306
because your wife's mayor
and there's no sheriff,
461
00:22:35,191 --> 00:22:38,476
but there's a whole
wide world out there.
462
00:22:39,221 --> 00:22:40,746
They"ll see
what you're doing.
463
00:22:42,531 --> 00:22:44,686
Yeah, I'm not
too concerned about that.
464
00:22:46,351 --> 00:22:48,957
You know, it's been a while
since I've seen you in pearls.
465
00:22:50,601 --> 00:22:52,486
Maybe you'll start
wearing them again.
466
00:22:55,571 --> 00:22:57,199
[Jughead] Hey.
467
00:22:57,291 --> 00:22:59,609
- What happened with Penny?
- Just
468
00:22:59,701 --> 00:23:01,306
give me a second, Jug, okay?
469
00:23:01,398 --> 00:23:03,746
Let me think.
I just need to think.
470
00:23:05,041 --> 00:23:07,266
- She talk about the game?
- Jug, come on.
471
00:23:07,358 --> 00:23:09,576
We know she was
tracking Archie for Hiram.
472
00:23:09,668 --> 00:23:11,619
Was it a quest
from her master?
473
00:23:11,711 --> 00:23:14,091
Is Hiram more than the Man in Black?
Is he the Gargoyle King?
474
00:23:14,168 --> 00:23:16,666
You are so caught up
in this damn game,
475
00:23:16,758 --> 00:23:19,866
you can't see
three feet in front of you.
476
00:23:19,958 --> 00:23:22,766
The big prize
isn't Archie's head,
477
00:23:23,151 --> 00:23:24,969
it is Riverdale.
478
00:23:25,061 --> 00:23:27,559
Jug, if you had
your wits about you,
479
00:23:27,651 --> 00:23:30,559
you would realize that
Hiram chased you out of town
480
00:23:30,651 --> 00:23:32,559
just to get you
off of the chess board.
481
00:23:32,651 --> 00:23:35,826
So you were as far away from
Riverdale when he made his big play.
482
00:23:37,131 --> 00:23:39,136
So it's not about
ascending to the Kingdom?
483
00:23:40,491 --> 00:23:41,966
It's about
claiming the Kingdom.
484
00:23:42,058 --> 00:23:44,279
And if Hiram is
the Gargoyle King,
485
00:23:44,371 --> 00:23:47,489
then he is responsible for
re-introducing G&G to Riverdale
486
00:23:47,581 --> 00:23:48,806
and the deaths of those kids.
487
00:23:48,898 --> 00:23:50,569
Mrs. J, what do we do?
488
00:23:50,661 --> 00:23:52,746
I'm still trying
to figure that out, sweetie.
489
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:56,056
Are we okay here?
490
00:23:57,431 --> 00:23:58,616
I mean, is Archie even safe?
491
00:23:58,708 --> 00:24:01,726
Yeah, of course he is.
492
00:24:05,441 --> 00:24:07,106
[melancholy music playing]
493
00:24:07,601 --> 00:24:09,146
[cell phone ringing]
494
00:24:11,361 --> 00:24:13,309
- Hello?
- [Betty] V?
495
00:24:13,401 --> 00:24:15,556
It's Betty. It's so good
to hear your voice.
496
00:24:15,648 --> 00:24:18,019
- Girl, where are you?
- It's a long story,
497
00:24:18,111 --> 00:24:20,519
but I'm at The Sisters
of Quiet Mercy. -What?
498
00:24:20,611 --> 00:24:22,216
We all thought
you were at the Farm.
499
00:24:22,308 --> 00:24:24,476
Veronica,
there's not much time.
500
00:24:24,568 --> 00:24:27,329
You need to listen to me
very carefully.
501
00:24:27,421 --> 00:24:28,831
[Cheryl] Your text said
you had news.
502
00:24:28,908 --> 00:24:32,176
Betty called. She's at The
Sisters of Quiet Mercy.
503
00:24:32,681 --> 00:24:34,759
What?
504
00:24:34,851 --> 00:24:36,671
That place is the Hellmouth of Riverdale.
We have to break her out of there.
505
00:24:36,748 --> 00:24:38,299
Betty said
she's working on that,
506
00:24:38,391 --> 00:24:39,511
but you and I have
another mission.
507
00:24:39,588 --> 00:24:41,169
[sighs] According to B,
508
00:24:41,261 --> 00:24:42,749
my father's
testing Fizzle Rocks
509
00:24:42,841 --> 00:24:44,756
on the patients
at The Sisters of Quiet Mercy.
510
00:24:44,848 --> 00:24:47,839
Moreover, she saw
your Uncle Claudius with him,
511
00:24:47,931 --> 00:24:50,929
using Blossom Maple trucks
to deliver the drugs.
512
00:24:51,021 --> 00:24:52,649
Shades of
the Legion of Doom.
513
00:24:52,741 --> 00:24:54,676
They're planning
something big, Cheryl.
514
00:24:54,768 --> 00:24:56,676
My father likened it
to the apocalypse.
515
00:24:56,768 --> 00:24:58,209
For all we know,
516
00:24:58,301 --> 00:25:00,816
my father may somehow be
responsible for the seizures,
517
00:25:00,908 --> 00:25:03,579
but he wouldn't be
any more specific than that.
518
00:25:03,671 --> 00:25:05,856
So I was thinking maybe
we could ask your mom,
519
00:25:05,948 --> 00:25:07,486
since she's in cahoots
with him?
520
00:25:08,331 --> 00:25:10,159
With pleasure, Veronica.
521
00:25:10,251 --> 00:25:12,999
My Vixens have fallen.
My T.T. has fallen.
522
00:25:13,091 --> 00:25:16,826
If my gorgon-like mother has any knowledge
of how or why that's happening,
523
00:25:16,918 --> 00:25:18,216
we'll get it out of her.
524
00:25:26,271 --> 00:25:27,439
Hi, Sister. Sorry.
525
00:25:27,531 --> 00:25:29,336
I was wondering
if I could get some...
526
00:25:34,181 --> 00:25:36,456
Don't scream, Sister.
527
00:25:36,548 --> 00:25:37,689
Oh, sorry.
528
00:25:37,781 --> 00:25:39,826
You're coming with me.
529
00:25:40,901 --> 00:25:43,746
It's time we pay
a little visit to your King.
530
00:26:01,211 --> 00:26:02,496
[Gladys shushing]
531
00:26:02,588 --> 00:26:04,766
It's just me. Get up.
532
00:26:06,311 --> 00:26:09,016
I didn't want to talk in front
of Archie and the others.
533
00:26:09,981 --> 00:26:11,719
As it turns out,
534
00:26:11,811 --> 00:26:14,086
Peabody had a lot to say.
535
00:26:14,178 --> 00:26:18,899
The bounty on your pal Archie,
it's not just on him.
536
00:26:18,991 --> 00:26:22,899
It's on anyone who's with him
or is helping him.
537
00:26:22,991 --> 00:26:26,689
Which means there is a target
on your back now, too, Jughead.
538
00:26:26,781 --> 00:26:28,676
It's the same if he goes
back to Riverdale.
539
00:26:28,768 --> 00:26:30,756
Archie's dad,
Archie's friends,
540
00:26:30,848 --> 00:26:32,529
everyone is at risk,
541
00:26:32,621 --> 00:26:34,106
which is why
you got to cut him loose.
542
00:26:34,198 --> 00:26:36,446
I'm not just gonna
ditch Archie, Mom.
543
00:26:36,538 --> 00:26:37,989
He's my best friend.
544
00:26:38,081 --> 00:26:39,676
[Archie]
Your mom's right, Jug.
545
00:26:42,681 --> 00:26:44,719
You got me this far.
546
00:26:44,811 --> 00:26:46,391
That's more than anyone else
would've done.
547
00:26:46,468 --> 00:26:47,709
You can go home.
548
00:26:47,801 --> 00:26:49,209
What are you talking about?
549
00:26:49,301 --> 00:26:50,586
You can't go
out there alone.
550
00:26:50,678 --> 00:26:52,889
Jug, Hiram almost killed us
back at that farm,
551
00:26:52,981 --> 00:26:54,626
Penny tracked us here
to your mom's.
552
00:26:54,718 --> 00:26:56,099
I've put her in danger.
553
00:26:56,191 --> 00:26:58,636
I've put Jellybean in danger.
I can't keep doing that.
554
00:26:59,561 --> 00:27:02,806
Wherever I go next,
it's got to be alone.
555
00:27:02,898 --> 00:27:04,326
- Archie.
- Jug.
556
00:27:12,801 --> 00:27:14,126
[Gladys] All right.
557
00:27:15,331 --> 00:27:17,049
So, it's decided.
558
00:27:17,141 --> 00:27:18,421
Arch, we'll get you
a ride to the border.
559
00:27:18,498 --> 00:27:19,781
I know a guy up there
who can help.
560
00:27:19,858 --> 00:27:22,716
Jughead, you can stay here
as long as you want.
561
00:27:25,891 --> 00:27:27,386
No, I think
I need to go home.
562
00:27:29,221 --> 00:27:30,976
Hiram Lodge needs
to get taken down.
563
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:33,996
It's only gonna happen
from the inside.
564
00:27:37,071 --> 00:27:38,816
[Sister Woodhouse]
You sinful girls.
565
00:27:38,908 --> 00:27:43,116
I will strap you to your beds and
electroshock the sin out of you.
566
00:27:44,241 --> 00:27:48,769
Sister, monsters don't scare
me, and neither do you.
567
00:27:48,861 --> 00:27:51,606
I've seen real darkness. I've
stared it right in the face.
568
00:27:51,698 --> 00:27:53,569
That's why
you couldn't break me.
569
00:27:53,661 --> 00:27:55,356
I know the scam
that you're running.
570
00:27:55,448 --> 00:27:56,946
I saw you with Hiram Lodge.
571
00:27:57,038 --> 00:28:00,096
You're testing his drugs
out on patients.
572
00:28:00,188 --> 00:28:01,499
Why?
573
00:28:01,591 --> 00:28:04,409
Mr. Lodge is
a generous donor.
574
00:28:04,501 --> 00:28:06,579
- Oh?
- A believer in our mission.
575
00:28:06,671 --> 00:28:08,146
And by "mission", you mean
576
00:28:08,238 --> 00:28:12,056
using the game and the
Gargoyle King to scare girls?
577
00:28:12,531 --> 00:28:14,309
To torture children?
578
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:17,629
The children who come
through our doors are broken.
579
00:28:17,721 --> 00:28:19,826
It's our sacred mission
to fix them,
580
00:28:19,918 --> 00:28:22,259
using whatever tools
necessary.
581
00:28:22,351 --> 00:28:25,906
Does that mean that the sisters
created Gryphons and Gargoyles
582
00:28:27,071 --> 00:28:28,171
as a tool?
583
00:28:31,211 --> 00:28:34,466
Misbehaving children have been
brought down to this room
584
00:28:34,558 --> 00:28:36,739
since the asylum opened.
585
00:28:36,831 --> 00:28:39,869
That statue scared them
into submission.
586
00:28:39,961 --> 00:28:42,566
Some of them,
the more disturbed ones,
587
00:28:42,658 --> 00:28:44,326
created a fantasy realm,
588
00:28:44,418 --> 00:28:45,969
a game
589
00:28:46,061 --> 00:28:48,596
to cope with the fear
of the one they'd named
590
00:28:49,471 --> 00:28:51,016
the Gargoyle King.
591
00:28:52,441 --> 00:28:55,266
We embraced it
as a therapeutic tool.
592
00:28:55,551 --> 00:28:56,889
And it worked
593
00:28:56,981 --> 00:29:00,326
because it embeds itself
in the minds of the players.
594
00:29:00,418 --> 00:29:03,139
It makes them complacent.
Focuses them.
595
00:29:03,231 --> 00:29:06,516
If that's true, then how did the
game get out into the world?
596
00:29:06,608 --> 00:29:08,046
Did you give it to Hiram?
597
00:29:08,138 --> 00:29:10,666
It was never meant
to leave these walls.
598
00:29:10,758 --> 00:29:12,376
It's too powerful.
599
00:29:12,468 --> 00:29:14,519
A game born of madness.
600
00:29:14,611 --> 00:29:17,169
A madness you helped nurture.
601
00:29:17,261 --> 00:29:19,386
And now people like
Ben and Dilton are dead.
602
00:29:19,478 --> 00:29:22,699
You're going to pay for everything
that you've done, Sister.
603
00:29:22,791 --> 00:29:24,706
And you're going
to tell the authorities
604
00:29:24,798 --> 00:29:26,846
what you've told us
about the game.
605
00:29:27,631 --> 00:29:29,766
And about Hiram's donations.
606
00:29:31,461 --> 00:29:35,589
I only answer
to one authority, Betty.
607
00:29:35,681 --> 00:29:38,196
[Betty] Come on, Ethel.
We have her keys.
608
00:29:38,288 --> 00:29:39,839
We're leaving.
609
00:29:39,931 --> 00:29:42,379
We're taking your children
with us, Sister.
610
00:29:42,471 --> 00:29:43,796
They won't want to leave.
611
00:29:44,621 --> 00:29:46,316
We'll see about that.
612
00:29:50,611 --> 00:29:51,716
[Sister Woodhouse] Help!
613
00:29:51,808 --> 00:29:53,039
Help!
614
00:29:53,131 --> 00:29:55,496
I'm in the basement.
615
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:57,211
Help!
616
00:29:58,131 --> 00:29:59,766
[Penelope gasping]
617
00:29:59,858 --> 00:30:02,209
Let's do this again.
618
00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:05,219
What does my father
have planned for Riverdale?
619
00:30:05,311 --> 00:30:07,356
Speak!
Or it gets the syrup again.
620
00:30:07,448 --> 00:30:08,986
[breathing heavily]
621
00:30:09,078 --> 00:30:13,369
Why do you want to know
your father's plans?
622
00:30:13,461 --> 00:30:17,816
He's finally going to turn this
backwater into something worthwhile.
623
00:30:17,908 --> 00:30:20,639
A place where
we can all pursue
624
00:30:20,731 --> 00:30:25,069
- our various enterprises unmolested.
- What does that mean?
625
00:30:25,161 --> 00:30:28,456
She's talking about
drug dealing and prostitution.
626
00:30:28,548 --> 00:30:30,656
Aren't you, you ghoulunatic?
627
00:30:37,991 --> 00:30:39,496
We need specifics.
628
00:30:40,751 --> 00:30:44,616
How exactly is my father
planning on turning Riverdale
629
00:30:44,708 --> 00:30:45,936
into Vice City?
630
00:30:46,028 --> 00:30:49,499
Well, he's in bed
with the mayor, isn't he?
631
00:30:49,591 --> 00:30:51,976
And as for
law enforcement, well,
632
00:30:52,068 --> 00:30:54,339
the last time I checked,
633
00:30:54,431 --> 00:30:56,636
Riverdale didn't have
much of a sheriff.
634
00:30:58,531 --> 00:31:01,249
Details. Or so help me God,
635
00:31:01,341 --> 00:31:03,629
I will drown you
in this cheap crap.
636
00:31:03,721 --> 00:31:05,986
And open the garden doors
to let the ants in.
637
00:31:07,741 --> 00:31:10,819
[Penelope]
All right, I'll tell you.
638
00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:13,556
Wait. What do you mean,
you don't want to escape?
639
00:31:13,648 --> 00:31:14,886
We feel safe here.
640
00:31:14,978 --> 00:31:16,269
We play G&G.
641
00:31:16,361 --> 00:31:19,769
The sisters give us candy,
keep us warm and clean.
642
00:31:19,861 --> 00:31:21,456
Why would we
wanna leave?
643
00:31:25,581 --> 00:31:26,986
Sister Woodhouse was right.
644
00:31:27,078 --> 00:31:29,156
They're all brainwashed,
just like I was.
645
00:31:29,248 --> 00:31:31,379
Well, we can't just
leave them behind.
646
00:31:31,471 --> 00:31:34,646
Not to mention all those kids in the
gay conversion wing where Cheryl was.
647
00:31:34,738 --> 00:31:37,596
There has to be
something we can do.
648
00:31:38,811 --> 00:31:41,049
Wait, the game.
649
00:31:41,141 --> 00:31:44,509
The game is how they cope
with terror, right?
650
00:31:44,601 --> 00:31:47,986
So, let's convince them to escape
by turning it into a quest.
651
00:31:48,821 --> 00:31:51,536
The Gargoyle King
inspires fear,
652
00:31:51,628 --> 00:31:53,729
so let's give them hope.
653
00:31:53,821 --> 00:31:56,546
Let's give them the opposite of
the Gargoyle King, which is...
654
00:31:56,638 --> 00:31:57,936
The Gryphon Queen.
655
00:32:06,911 --> 00:32:08,529
[Gladys] All right.
656
00:32:08,621 --> 00:32:11,516
Now, I packed you guys
some lunches for the road.
657
00:32:11,608 --> 00:32:13,089
[knocking on door]
658
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:16,056
Hey, Jug, you mind getting that?
It's probably Archie's ride.
659
00:32:17,101 --> 00:32:18,926
[door opens]
660
00:32:24,811 --> 00:32:25,861
Dad!
661
00:32:27,721 --> 00:32:29,426
I've missed you
so much, Dad.
662
00:32:29,518 --> 00:32:31,236
Me too, son.
663
00:32:43,211 --> 00:32:45,129
So you finally made it, huh?
664
00:32:45,221 --> 00:32:47,666
Jughead's getting his bag.
He'll be out in a minute.
665
00:32:48,791 --> 00:32:50,126
Hey, Jellybelly.
666
00:32:51,141 --> 00:32:52,676
You've gotten so big.
667
00:32:54,721 --> 00:32:56,046
Can I get a hug?
668
00:32:56,311 --> 00:32:57,326
Can I get a dad?
669
00:32:57,418 --> 00:32:58,691
Hey, JB!
670
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:00,369
Come on now.
671
00:33:00,461 --> 00:33:02,096
Let her be. I deserve that.
672
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:04,839
She misses you.
673
00:33:04,931 --> 00:33:07,256
She'd just rather fight
than admit it.
674
00:33:07,348 --> 00:33:09,336
Yeah, like mother
like daughter.
675
00:33:09,428 --> 00:33:10,979
[Jughead] Dad.
676
00:33:11,071 --> 00:33:12,696
I see Mom called you.
677
00:33:14,241 --> 00:33:16,066
Thought you might be
missing this.
678
00:33:20,501 --> 00:33:23,126
I heard Penny was here
causing trouble.
679
00:33:23,218 --> 00:33:25,239
No problem at all.
680
00:33:25,331 --> 00:33:28,126
I don't think we have to worry
much about Penny anymore.
681
00:33:30,251 --> 00:33:31,626
[Gladys sighs]
682
00:33:32,421 --> 00:33:33,836
Come here, kid.
683
00:33:35,211 --> 00:33:36,536
I'm gonna miss you.
684
00:33:40,261 --> 00:33:43,136
Go warm up the bikes,
will you, Jug?
685
00:33:45,731 --> 00:33:47,686
Thank you, Gladys,
for the call.
686
00:33:48,441 --> 00:33:50,046
I'll make sure
he gets home safe.
687
00:33:59,281 --> 00:34:00,736
Get out of here.
688
00:34:01,481 --> 00:34:03,326
[bike engine starting]
689
00:34:06,291 --> 00:34:07,826
[Veronica]
Kevin, cadets!
690
00:34:09,961 --> 00:34:11,699
This meal's on the house.
691
00:34:11,791 --> 00:34:13,436
But you brutes
are helping us out.
692
00:34:13,528 --> 00:34:15,516
We need backup
right the hell now.
693
00:34:15,608 --> 00:34:16,926
What's going on?
694
00:34:19,251 --> 00:34:20,886
On your feet, soldier boys!
695
00:34:21,381 --> 00:34:23,039
We're going to war.
696
00:34:23,131 --> 00:34:24,766
Paladins and Hellcasters,
697
00:34:25,721 --> 00:34:27,026
Healers and Deadeyes,
698
00:34:27,118 --> 00:34:30,036
your Game Master has
a new adventure for you.
699
00:34:30,128 --> 00:34:33,339
Your goal is to escape
700
00:34:33,431 --> 00:34:35,196
from the Gargoyle King's
fortress.
701
00:34:37,321 --> 00:34:40,256
But we can't. If he catches
us, we'll be punished.
702
00:34:40,348 --> 00:34:42,639
Yes. Severely.
703
00:34:42,731 --> 00:34:43,816
But there is hope.
704
00:34:43,908 --> 00:34:46,186
A Queen to lead you
into the light.
705
00:34:46,278 --> 00:34:48,286
Hark, there she be!
706
00:34:59,351 --> 00:35:03,589
Follow me,
your Gryphon Queen,
707
00:35:03,681 --> 00:35:07,206
away from this fortress, and back
to the kingdom of Eldervair!
708
00:35:07,298 --> 00:35:08,766
But what about the King?
709
00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:15,936
The King is dead.
710
00:35:16,531 --> 00:35:18,526
You're all free.
711
00:35:19,121 --> 00:35:20,281
[gasps]
712
00:35:20,373 --> 00:35:22,269
[shushing]
713
00:35:22,361 --> 00:35:24,506
We can't wake
the King's Demon Soldiers.
714
00:35:24,598 --> 00:35:26,106
I have the enchanted keys.
715
00:35:26,198 --> 00:35:28,746
Meet me at
the doors to freedom.
716
00:36:12,341 --> 00:36:14,609
[sighs] Here you go.
717
00:36:14,701 --> 00:36:17,356
It's the last stop
before the border.
718
00:36:17,448 --> 00:36:18,859
Yeah.
719
00:36:18,951 --> 00:36:21,369
You know, I was thinking.
I could go with you.
720
00:36:21,461 --> 00:36:22,829
We could do this together.
721
00:36:22,921 --> 00:36:24,286
Find a cabin in the woods?
722
00:36:24,378 --> 00:36:27,236
Yeah. Teach you carpentry,
like my old man did me.
723
00:36:27,328 --> 00:36:28,636
Imagine that.
724
00:36:29,011 --> 00:36:30,769
Us.
725
00:36:30,861 --> 00:36:32,776
Living off the land,
father and son.
726
00:36:32,868 --> 00:36:34,799
Hunting, fishing.
727
00:36:34,891 --> 00:36:36,459
It would be great.
728
00:36:36,551 --> 00:36:38,066
Yeah, it would be.
729
00:36:39,941 --> 00:36:43,446
But, uh, you know
we can't do that.
730
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:45,236
Right, Dad?
731
00:36:47,401 --> 00:36:48,946
I can't change your mind,
732
00:36:49,451 --> 00:36:50,816
get you to come back home?
733
00:36:56,161 --> 00:36:57,916
But you can
give me your blessing.
734
00:37:01,961 --> 00:37:03,686
I was your age
when my father passed away.
735
00:37:03,778 --> 00:37:06,676
- I never got to say goodbye...
- This isn't goodbye, Dad.
736
00:37:08,971 --> 00:37:10,766
You're damn right, it's not.
737
00:37:15,481 --> 00:37:16,986
See you soon?
738
00:37:17,078 --> 00:37:18,936
Yeah, you will.
739
00:37:19,911 --> 00:37:22,106
Oh, one more thing.
740
00:37:26,661 --> 00:37:28,486
[dog whining]
741
00:37:28,821 --> 00:37:30,286
[Archie] Vegas!
742
00:37:58,591 --> 00:38:01,066
- Mom, stop!
- You heard the woman! Halt!
743
00:38:03,661 --> 00:38:05,199
Veronica, what is this?
744
00:38:05,291 --> 00:38:06,386
Consider it a coup d'moi.
745
00:38:06,478 --> 00:38:08,099
We know your end game.
746
00:38:08,191 --> 00:38:10,529
You are hereby relieved
of your mayoral duties.
747
00:38:10,621 --> 00:38:12,306
Those plans
you and your husband had
748
00:38:12,398 --> 00:38:13,726
with my dollymop mother
749
00:38:13,818 --> 00:38:15,979
are now canceled.
750
00:38:16,071 --> 00:38:18,379
Now, step away from the phone
751
00:38:18,471 --> 00:38:21,706
before you make the biggest
mistake of your life.
752
00:38:23,041 --> 00:38:24,466
Veronica...
753
00:38:25,551 --> 00:38:27,836
You can't just walk in here
and depose me.
754
00:38:28,291 --> 00:38:29,926
I'm an elected official.
755
00:38:32,301 --> 00:38:35,476
Besides, you're too late.
756
00:38:37,061 --> 00:38:39,339
The order went out
ten minutes ago.
757
00:38:39,431 --> 00:38:41,336
I was about
to call and tell you.
758
00:38:41,428 --> 00:38:43,396
[cell phones chiming]
759
00:38:48,601 --> 00:38:50,866
[siren blaring]
760
00:38:51,571 --> 00:38:52,896
It's starting.
761
00:38:58,321 --> 00:39:00,636
Betty, what are we going to do
with all these kids?
762
00:39:00,728 --> 00:39:02,159
They have nowhere to go.
763
00:39:02,251 --> 00:39:04,376
We'll help them, Ethel,
all of them.
764
00:39:07,501 --> 00:39:09,086
- Mom?
- Betty.
765
00:39:10,761 --> 00:39:13,079
Why are you wearing that outfit?
What's going on?
766
00:39:13,171 --> 00:39:15,456
- What are you doing here?
- Hell is breaking loose.
767
00:39:15,548 --> 00:39:17,866
I came to get you
out of the sisters'.
768
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:21,936
Well, you're just in time,
but it's not just gonna be me.
769
00:39:23,701 --> 00:39:25,969
[siren blaring]
770
00:39:26,061 --> 00:39:29,349
[Jughead] And just like that,
in a few frantic moments,
771
00:39:29,441 --> 00:39:30,956
the town we'd known
all our lives
772
00:39:31,048 --> 00:39:33,296
was once again changed,
773
00:39:33,388 --> 00:39:36,599
but this time, irrevocably.
774
00:39:36,691 --> 00:39:41,109
It was time for us to brace
for a terrible impact.
775
00:39:41,201 --> 00:39:44,896
And while Archie Andrews headed away
from the doomed town of Riverdale,
776
00:39:44,988 --> 00:39:47,039
we raced towards it.
777
00:39:47,131 --> 00:39:49,326
For that night was
the fruition of a game
778
00:39:49,418 --> 00:39:51,566
that had been
planned for and played
779
00:39:51,658 --> 00:39:53,716
across the years.
780
00:40:01,811 --> 00:40:02,949
The hell is this?
781
00:40:03,041 --> 00:40:04,866
Town's under quarantine.
Governor's orders.
782
00:40:04,958 --> 00:40:06,676
No one in or out.
Turn around and go.
783
00:40:06,768 --> 00:40:08,216
No. No, we live here.
784
00:40:08,308 --> 00:40:11,066
Not anymore. Turn around, now!
785
00:40:15,161 --> 00:40:17,596
[Dooley on phone] Well, Hiram,
you got what you wanted.
786
00:40:17,688 --> 00:40:19,239
The town's quarantined.
787
00:40:19,331 --> 00:40:21,856
I'll do what I can to keep
the outside world at bay.
788
00:40:21,948 --> 00:40:24,169
Riverdale thanks you,
Governor Dooley.
789
00:40:24,261 --> 00:40:25,366
You did the right thing.
790
00:40:25,458 --> 00:40:27,199
I pray that's true.
791
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:29,796
And may God have mercy
on our souls.
792
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:31,876
Not God, Governor...
793
00:40:32,101 --> 00:40:33,261
The King.
794
00:40:33,353 --> 00:40:34,641
[hangs up]
