00:00:06,997 --> 00:00:08,426
Well, Jug,
2
00:00:08,865 --> 00:00:10,139
you ever think
we'd have a night
3
00:00:10,224 --> 00:00:11,614
before the first
day of school again.
4
00:00:11,699 --> 00:00:13,533
No, not in a million years.
5
00:00:13,982 --> 00:00:15,145
Cramming to finish
this book
6
00:00:15,230 --> 00:00:17,127
my students were assigned
for summer reading.
7
00:00:17,212 --> 00:00:18,976
Of Mice and Men.
8
00:00:19,131 --> 00:00:21,009
Feel like I'm living
The Twilight Zone.
9
00:00:21,869 --> 00:00:24,287
Well, I'm gonna hit the sack.
Big day tomorrow.
10
00:00:24,410 --> 00:00:27,375
On behalf of Lennie,
George and myself,
11
00:00:27,875 --> 00:00:30,180
good night, sweet prince.
12
00:00:31,132 --> 00:00:32,881
You know after all these years,
13
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:35,772
it's still kind of adorable to
witness your back-to-school jitters.
14
00:00:35,857 --> 00:00:37,483
Well, I'd be there already
15
00:00:37,575 --> 00:00:39,493
if I wasn't waiting
on our house diva.
16
00:00:39,577 --> 00:00:42,329
You tell Queen T my truck
is leaving without her.
17
00:00:42,613 --> 00:00:44,873
This outfit is a masterpiece

Um, some of us are auditing.

00:01:36,425 --> 00:01:37,790
Hm.
36
00:01:38,844 --> 00:01:41,824
Well, as long as you're
taking it seriously.
37
00:01:44,048 --> 00:01:46,884
We will absolutely talk about
my experiences overseas,
38
00:01:47,103 --> 00:01:48,896
but the RROTC's focus
39
00:01:48,980 --> 00:01:51,780
is on physical fitness,
and military history.
40
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:55,140
So I'll ask again, what year was
the United States Army founded?
41
00:01:55,444 --> 00:01:58,203
So this semester
our main project in Shop Class
42
00:01:58,288 --> 00:02:00,908
will be taking apart
this classic car.
43
00:02:00,992 --> 00:02:04,745
A 1954 Crestline
and putting it back together.
44
00:02:04,829 --> 00:02:06,872
Any questions
before we get started?
45
00:02:06,956 --> 00:02:10,083
Wasn't your dad
like the Black Hood?
46
00:02:10,167 --> 00:02:11,810
He was.
47
00:02:11,895 --> 00:02:14,504
As a matter of fact, he taught
me everything I know about cars.
48
00:02:14,588 --> 00:02:17,553
So, any relevant questions?
49
00:02:20,136 --> 00:02:22,195
[Jughead] Who did
the summer reading?
50
00:02:25,891 --> 00:02:27,818
Who can tell me what it was?
51
00:02:32,008 --> 00:02:33,778
This is gonna be great.
52
00:02:36,235 --> 00:02:38,028
[Hiram] By all rights, that
school should be shut down.
53
00:02:38,112 --> 00:02:41,365
Instead, I'm told there are
over 100 students enrolled.
54
00:02:41,449 --> 00:02:43,033
What do you care, Mr. Lodge?
55
00:02:43,117 --> 00:02:44,826
You got what you wanted.
56
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:47,996
Riverdale doesn't even exist
since you unincorporated it.
57
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,625
Reggie, a high school
offers hope,
58
00:02:51,709 --> 00:02:54,753
and people are sentimental
about Riverdale High
59
00:02:54,837 --> 00:02:56,546
for reasons that elude me.
60
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:58,799
And as long as it remains open,
there's a slight chance
61
00:02:58,883 --> 00:03:03,860
the town will grow
back around it like a weed.
62
00:03:04,013 --> 00:03:07,225
And that
is bad for our business.
63
00:03:07,641 --> 00:03:09,184
I hear you.
64
00:03:09,268 --> 00:03:10,903
So what are you thinking, boss?
65
00:03:13,105 --> 00:03:16,587
As you can see, this used to
be a video store back in the day,
66
00:03:16,672 --> 00:03:18,958
but with a little TLC,
67
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,155
it'll be the perfect spot
for my new jewelry store.
68
00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:26,039
I cut my teeth in the Diamond
District as you know, Smithers.
69
00:03:26,243 --> 00:03:28,578
I think I could bring a little
Manhattan magic to this town
70
00:03:28,662 --> 00:03:33,110
formerly known as Riverdale in
the form of exquisitely high end bling.
71
00:03:33,334 --> 00:03:37,805
And will Mr. Gekko, be involved
in this business enterprise?
72
00:03:38,234 --> 00:03:39,860
I haven't decided yet.
73
00:03:40,174 --> 00:03:43,278
He knows I'm in Riverdale,
teaching temporarily,
74
00:03:43,677 --> 00:03:46,313
but the permanence
of opening a shop,
75
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:48,498
might send him spiraling.
76
00:03:51,602 --> 00:03:53,186
Well, Miss Cooper...
77
00:03:53,938 --> 00:03:55,322
how was the first day?
78
00:03:56,649 --> 00:03:58,732
Well, they're terrified of me.
79
00:03:59,193 --> 00:04:01,528
Being that I'm the daughter
of the Black Hood and all.
80
00:04:01,612 --> 00:04:03,822
Oof. That sucks.
81
00:04:03,906 --> 00:04:07,630
Yeah. On top of which I can't
stop thinking about Polly.
82
00:04:08,077 --> 00:04:09,953
Didn't your mom say
she does this sometimes?
83
00:04:10,037 --> 00:04:11,830
Takes off for a couple days
then reappears.
84
00:04:11,914 --> 00:04:14,248
Yeah, that's why
I'm trying not to panic.
85
00:04:16,585 --> 00:04:21,025
Well, in the meantime,
maybe I can distract you.
86
00:04:23,134 --> 00:04:26,094
Tonight, my new roommate's
working at Pop's.
87
00:04:26,178 --> 00:04:27,971
It's too risky.
88
00:04:28,055 --> 00:04:30,057
And it's not like
we can go to my house
89
00:04:30,141 --> 00:04:33,560
- with my mom and the twins.
- We're in our 20s.
90
00:04:33,644 --> 00:04:36,900
It's supposed to be easier to
find places to hookup not harder.
91
00:04:38,858 --> 00:04:41,326
Wait. I actually think
I have a crazy idea.
92
00:04:43,529 --> 00:04:46,031

as a doornail in here, Jones.

by all means.

At least until
we get some customers.

00:04:50,756 --> 00:04:54,423
You know, I was actually kind of
hoping I could interview you for my book.

Me?
97
00:04:56,709 --> 00:04:59,461
- Why? What's your book?
- It's about Riverdale.
98
00:04:59,545 --> 00:05:02,245
People who live here. Portrait
of a small town type of thing.
99
00:05:02,798 --> 00:05:04,174
Okay.

00:05:04,258 --> 00:05:05,726
What do you wanna know?
101
00:05:07,845 --> 00:05:11,807
You left a six figure a year job
in Chicago to come run Pop's?
102
00:05:11,891 --> 00:05:14,985
You must have had every CEO
offer that you wanted.
103
00:05:16,479 --> 00:05:21,024
Or I could become the CEO
of my family business
104
00:05:21,108 --> 00:05:23,985
and take everything I learned
at my fancy schools
105
00:05:24,069 --> 00:05:27,269
and invest it
in something meaningful.

00:05:27,354 --> 00:05:28,890
I am not
playing around with Pop's.
107
00:05:28,975 --> 00:05:30,492

that gas pump out front

00:09:32,985 --> 00:09:34,694
Okay.
175
00:09:34,778 --> 00:09:37,247
Plan B. Pop quiz.
176
00:09:41,452 --> 00:09:42,878
Hand these out.
177
00:09:50,252 --> 00:09:52,087
Supply and demand
178
00:09:52,171 --> 00:09:54,714
is the foundational principle
of economics.
179
00:09:54,798 --> 00:09:56,767
So I'm going to make sure
that you all...
180
00:09:58,802 --> 00:10:00,479
Special delivery
for Miss Gekko.
181
00:10:02,055 --> 00:10:03,848
Chad, what are you doing here?
182
00:10:03,932 --> 00:10:05,266
Surprising my wife.
183
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:06,851
But I'm in the middle
of a class.
184
00:10:06,935 --> 00:10:08,945
I'll just wait
quietly at the back.
185
00:10:13,650 --> 00:10:15,619
[Veronica exhales]
186
00:10:21,909 --> 00:10:24,035
[Archie] Mr. Weatherbee.
Uh, Waldo.
187
00:10:24,119 --> 00:10:25,453
I want to bring
Bulldog football
188
00:10:25,537 --> 00:10:27,455
back to Riverdale High
as a coach,
189
00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:30,208
I think having a football team
would be huge for school pride
190
00:10:30,292 --> 00:10:31,543
and would help bring
191
00:10:31,627 --> 00:10:33,447
what's left of this town
back together.
192
00:10:34,379 --> 00:10:35,880
You know where
we're at financially.
193
00:10:35,964 --> 00:10:37,507
I'll get the money somehow.
194
00:10:37,591 --> 00:10:38,782
We even have enough players?
195
00:10:38,867 --> 00:10:41,052
I only need eleven.
196
00:10:41,136 --> 00:10:44,731
All right, Mr. Andrews.
Let's see what you can do.
197
00:10:48,143 --> 00:10:50,280
[Chadwick] As you can imagine,
my wife tells this guy
198
00:10:50,365 --> 00:10:52,355
exactly where he can
stick his designer loafers.
199
00:10:52,439 --> 00:10:53,824
[all laughing]
200
00:10:55,901 --> 00:10:59,112
Archie, This is Chadwick,
my husband.
201
00:10:59,196 --> 00:11:00,572
He surprised me with a visit...
202
00:11:00,656 --> 00:11:02,252
[Kevin] ...and some
delicious cupcakes.
203
00:11:02,337 --> 00:11:04,675
[Chadwick] So you're
the famous Archie.
204
00:11:05,744 --> 00:11:07,045
Nice to meet you.
205
00:11:11,291 --> 00:11:13,960
[Toni] Well, we've survived
two days of the school year.
206
00:11:14,044 --> 00:11:16,129
How about we
celebrate tonight?
207
00:11:16,213 --> 00:11:18,006
It's karaoke Tuesday
at the Whyte Wyrm.
208
00:11:18,090 --> 00:11:19,841
Obviously, I'll be
defying gravity.
209
00:11:19,925 --> 00:11:22,302
As long as I can get a
vodka tonic, I will be watching.
210
00:11:22,386 --> 00:11:23,470
I don't know if we...
211
00:11:23,554 --> 00:11:24,804
That sounds good.
212
00:11:24,888 --> 00:11:27,182
[surprised] What?
You hate karaoke.
213
00:11:27,266 --> 00:11:29,476
[Chadwick] What's that
expression, uh, when in Rome,
214
00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:32,154
embarrass yourself in front
of a group of total strangers?
215
00:11:37,873 --> 00:11:39,444
[Toni] Betty, do you
have a minute?
216
00:11:39,528 --> 00:11:41,196
Sure. What's up?
217
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,199
Earlier, Kevin mentioned
that your sister's missing.
218
00:11:44,283 --> 00:11:46,451
Yeah. Why? Have you
heard something?
219
00:11:46,535 --> 00:11:48,616
Well, you know how Fangs
and some of the other Serpents
220
00:11:48,701 --> 00:11:49,953
are truckers now?
221
00:11:50,038 --> 00:11:51,456
Yeah.
222
00:11:51,540 --> 00:11:53,333
Well, I asked around,
and some of the guys
223
00:11:53,417 --> 00:11:55,460
have occasionally
seen Polly
224
00:11:55,544 --> 00:11:57,378
hanging out
at this sketchy truck stop
225
00:11:57,462 --> 00:11:59,088
right off
the Lonely Highway.
226
00:11:59,172 --> 00:12:00,715
[Betty] Doing what?
227
00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:03,176
Dealing for the Ghoulies
or hooking up with truckers.
228
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:05,178
[Betty sighs] Or both.
229
00:12:05,262 --> 00:12:07,263
[Toni sighs] Yeah.
Well, sadly,
230
00:12:07,347 --> 00:12:10,725
Polly's not the only young woman
in Riverdale making a living that way.
231
00:12:10,809 --> 00:12:13,269
Fangs said that some of
the truckers arrange meetings
232
00:12:13,353 --> 00:12:16,606
with these women
by posting on Nedslist.
233
00:12:16,690 --> 00:12:18,274
I don't know
if Polly has an account.
234
00:12:18,358 --> 00:12:19,776
Yeah, Okay.
Thank you, Toni.
235
00:12:19,860 --> 00:12:21,486
I'll look into it.
236
00:12:21,570 --> 00:12:25,907
Do you know where exactly
this truck stop is?
237
00:12:25,991 --> 00:12:27,367
The thing is,
Miss Blossom,
238
00:12:27,451 --> 00:12:28,993
the men have been
threatening to quit.
239
00:12:29,077 --> 00:12:31,246
[Cheryl] Under
no circumstances.
240
00:12:31,330 --> 00:12:33,248
Constant hammering of nails
and buzzing of saws
241
00:12:33,332 --> 00:12:35,750
is the only thing that quiets
my troubled soul.
242
00:12:35,834 --> 00:12:37,460
Tell your brutes
they'll get their blood money
243
00:12:37,544 --> 00:12:39,846
and a bonus
for their patience.
244
00:12:41,381 --> 00:12:43,308
Now be gone from my sight.
245
00:12:48,513 --> 00:12:50,056
Thanks to that
charitable donation
246
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:51,724
Toni squeezed out of me,
247
00:12:51,808 --> 00:12:54,769
the Blossom coffers
are empty, Nana.
248
00:12:54,853 --> 00:12:57,425
It's time
for Operation Goldfinch.
249
00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,524
Call Krespy's and have
him send an appraiser over
250
00:12:59,608 --> 00:13:02,285
whilst I finish my copy
of this portrait of Jay-Jay.
251
00:13:03,153 --> 00:13:04,988
[sighs] And pray my subterfuge
252
00:13:05,072 --> 00:13:06,957
will save us
from financial ruin.
253
00:13:11,912 --> 00:13:14,080
[Betty] According to my mom,
Polly doesn't have a laptop,
254
00:13:14,164 --> 00:13:15,582
- but I asked the twins...
- [Kevin sighs]
255
00:13:15,666 --> 00:13:17,333
...and they said,
sometimes, she uses theirs.
256
00:13:17,417 --> 00:13:19,836
So Polly doesn't have
a Nedslist account.
257
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,337
But Patty does.
258
00:13:21,421 --> 00:13:23,673
[Kevin] Oh, my God.
Check sent messages.
259
00:13:23,757 --> 00:13:25,341
Who was the last person
she contacted?
260
00:13:25,425 --> 00:13:29,095
Someone named
"TruckerBoy69".
261
00:13:29,179 --> 00:13:31,973
And apparently, they arranged to
meet up the night she disappeared.
262
00:13:32,057 --> 00:13:35,602
Okay, so, either he knows
something, or he did something.
263
00:13:35,686 --> 00:13:38,146
Send him a message
asking to get together again.
264
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:41,608
[Betty typing]
265
00:13:41,692 --> 00:13:43,285
Okay. Sent.
266
00:13:44,528 --> 00:13:47,906
Okay. Now we just wait,
I guess.
267
00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:49,791
Can we karaoke
while we wait?
268
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:55,580
[all] Cheers!
269
00:13:55,664 --> 00:13:57,957
[rock music playing]
270
00:13:58,041 --> 00:13:59,926
[dart thuds]
271
00:14:03,380 --> 00:14:05,673
By the way, Jones,
272
00:14:05,757 --> 00:14:07,634
I have the next subject
for your book.
273
00:14:07,718 --> 00:14:09,385
[Tabitha] A real character.
274
00:14:09,469 --> 00:14:10,895
Oh, yeah? Who's that?
275
00:14:11,221 --> 00:14:12,889
Old Man Dreyfus.
276
00:14:12,973 --> 00:14:15,308
Lives on and runs a junk yard
off the Lonely Highway.
277
00:14:15,392 --> 00:14:17,101
He came in today
for a plate of pork chops
278
00:14:17,185 --> 00:14:20,146
and I asked if you could
interview him for your book.
279
00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:21,314
He said yes.
280
00:14:21,398 --> 00:14:22,815
Did you get his number?
281
00:14:22,899 --> 00:14:25,234
Oh, no. [Laughs]
Dreyfus does not have a phone,
282
00:14:25,318 --> 00:14:26,778
but I do have
his address, though.
283
00:14:26,862 --> 00:14:28,237
Okay, what's his story?
284
00:14:28,321 --> 00:14:30,957
Oh, you've gotta
ask him about "The Mothman."
285
00:14:31,992 --> 00:14:33,576
- The Mothman?
- [Tabitha] Mmm-hmm.
286
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:35,119
[Toni on mic]
All right, all right!
287
00:14:35,203 --> 00:14:38,915
We've got a special treat
for you guys.
288
00:14:38,999 --> 00:14:41,626
She used to own this
place back in the day.
289
00:14:41,710 --> 00:14:44,963
So let's give an extra
loud Whyte Wyrm welcome
290
00:14:45,047 --> 00:14:47,298
to Veronica Lodge!
291
00:14:47,382 --> 00:14:50,093
- [people cheering] - She
probably forgot it's Gekko now.
292
00:14:50,177 --> 00:14:52,220
All good. Knock 'em
dead, babe.
293
00:14:52,304 --> 00:14:53,772
[Veronica] Thanks.

Good morning, Ms. Gekko.

Man, I haven't slept
that well since...

...forever.

It's fun having you here, Chad.

So...

00:17:47,229 --> 00:17:49,822
Why don't I stay
in Riverdale for a few days?

What do you think?
329
00:17:53,652 --> 00:17:56,320
I think that would be nice.

Mm-hmm.

to Riverdale High's
legendary football program,

requirements for this year.

What's your name, bro?
348
00:18:45,954 --> 00:18:48,548
I'm Britta.
Is that cool?
349
00:18:49,833 --> 00:18:51,167
As long as you don't mind
350
00:18:51,252 --> 00:18:52,788
playing both sides
of the ball, Britta,
351
00:18:52,873 --> 00:18:54,173
you complete my team.
352
00:18:55,422 --> 00:18:57,181
Now I just need funding.
353
00:18:57,966 --> 00:18:59,383
How much funding?
354
00:18:59,467 --> 00:19:00,852
Twenty thousand.
355
00:19:01,914 --> 00:19:03,721
There's gotta be
some kind of sports budget.
356
00:19:03,805 --> 00:19:06,182
There is, but the little money
that's available
357
00:19:06,266 --> 00:19:08,643
is already been earmarked
for something else.
358
00:19:08,727 --> 00:19:10,436
What about Cheryl?
Can you ask her?
359
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,771
No way.
360
00:19:11,855 --> 00:19:13,397
I already called in
my one favor.
361
00:19:13,481 --> 00:19:15,116
Nobody's stopping you.
362
00:19:16,673 --> 00:19:18,492
[Cheryl] You need more money
from me, you say?
363
00:19:18,585 --> 00:19:22,281
Yes, for the football team.
364
00:19:22,365 --> 00:19:24,617
Well, I've already
done my part for the school
365
00:19:24,701 --> 00:19:27,003
and at a great
personal cost.
366
00:19:28,288 --> 00:19:29,922
Cheryl, I just thought...
367
00:19:31,624 --> 00:19:34,043
[sighs] given the fact
your brother was a Bulldog,
368
00:19:34,127 --> 00:19:37,255
that you might want
to honor him.
369
00:19:37,339 --> 00:19:38,589
How dare you
play my brother
370
00:19:38,673 --> 00:19:40,299
as if he were
a red king card, Archie?
371
00:19:40,383 --> 00:19:41,884
[Cheryl] Be gone!
372
00:19:41,968 --> 00:19:44,103
And never darken the halls
of Thornhill again.
373
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,106
Leave!
374
00:19:56,741 --> 00:19:59,267
When did the Krespy's appraiser
say he was coming again, Nana?
375
00:19:59,352 --> 00:20:06,000
Oh, she, dear. Minerva Marble,
and, um, tomorrow, she said.
376
00:20:07,285 --> 00:20:09,704
Truckrboy69
responded.
377
00:20:09,788 --> 00:20:11,580
He said, "So good to hear
from you, Patty.
378
00:20:11,664 --> 00:20:13,499
I was afraid you were
still mad at me.
379
00:20:13,583 --> 00:20:15,323
How's tonight?"
380
00:20:15,408 --> 00:20:18,000
- Mad about what?
- That's exactly what I'm going to find out
381
00:20:18,085 --> 00:20:19,922
when you and I go
stakeout the truck stop,
382
00:20:20,006 --> 00:20:22,975
he suggested, right off
exit 42.
383
00:20:33,103 --> 00:20:35,780
[owl hooting]
384
00:20:51,538 --> 00:20:55,041
Hi, there. I'm Jughead Jones. I
work at Pops with Tabitha Tate.
385
00:20:55,125 --> 00:20:59,170
She told me that you'd be that you'd be
willing to tell me the story about the, uh,
386
00:20:59,254 --> 00:21:00,930
Mothmen.
387
00:21:05,718 --> 00:21:09,972
[Dreyfuss] About thirty, forty years
ago, me and some buddies got hired
388
00:21:10,056 --> 00:21:14,110
to dig out a collapsed mine
not far off the Lonely Highway.
389
00:21:14,894 --> 00:21:16,520
One night, we went to bed.
390
00:21:16,604 --> 00:21:19,607
The next morning when we
woke up, one of the guys,
391
00:21:19,691 --> 00:21:21,776
Ramos was missing.
392
00:21:21,860 --> 00:21:24,904
We worked he whole day
but Ramos never showed.
393
00:21:24,988 --> 00:21:26,622
Until the next morning
394
00:21:27,365 --> 00:21:30,034
when Ramos was back,
395
00:21:30,118 --> 00:21:32,078
but Raymond was missing.
396
00:21:32,162 --> 00:21:37,666
Ramos told us that some Mothmen
had taken him up in their ship,
397
00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:39,135
and now they had Raymond.
398
00:21:40,962 --> 00:21:42,171
Did you believe him?
399
00:21:42,255 --> 00:21:44,048
Not at first.
400
00:21:44,132 --> 00:21:47,176
[Dreyfuss] But the next
morning, Raymond was back.
401
00:21:47,260 --> 00:21:49,387
But Arnold was missing.
402
00:21:49,471 --> 00:21:53,691
And sure enough, Raymond said the
Mothmen had taken him up in their ship.
403
00:21:56,060 --> 00:21:59,355
Now when you see Mothmen,
are you talking...
404
00:21:59,439 --> 00:22:03,734
Aliens, Angels, Mothmen,
call 'em whatever you like.
405
00:22:03,818 --> 00:22:07,872
They live in the woods and the
caves off the Lonely Highway.
406
00:22:10,116 --> 00:22:12,618
Mr. Dreyfuss, I've lived in
Riverdale almost my whole life.
407
00:22:12,702 --> 00:22:15,955
Why have I never heard
of the Mothmen before?
408
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:19,083
There were some articles
back in the day. Ask around.
409
00:22:19,167 --> 00:22:20,876
Some people remember.
410
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,253
Well, aren't you worried
that they're gonna come back
411
00:22:22,337 --> 00:22:24,004
for you living out here
all by yourself?
412
00:22:24,088 --> 00:22:25,506
[Dreyfuss] I'm not afraid.
413
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:26,924
I'm hopin'.
414
00:22:27,008 --> 00:22:28,426
I'm hopin' they come back
for me.
415
00:22:28,510 --> 00:22:30,895
I want to go up in their
ship like the others.
416
00:22:41,439 --> 00:22:44,158
[engine whirring]
417
00:22:49,697 --> 00:22:51,332
This is definitely
the place.
418
00:23:05,964 --> 00:23:07,557
[Betty] Franview Freight Lines.
419
00:23:08,341 --> 00:23:10,009
That's him in the blue rig.
420
00:23:10,093 --> 00:23:12,937
- That's truckerboy69.
- What? Betty, are you sure?
421
00:23:23,648 --> 00:23:24,949
[door opens]
422
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:28,736
You're not Patty.
423
00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:31,405
No, I'm her sister
and I'm with the FBI.
424
00:23:31,489 --> 00:23:32,789
You're coming with me.
425
00:23:37,328 --> 00:23:40,247
I keep saying I didn't
do anything wrong.
426
00:23:40,331 --> 00:23:43,709
You arranged to meet
my sister at that truck stop.
427
00:23:43,793 --> 00:23:46,837
And that's the last time
anyone's seen her.
428
00:23:46,921 --> 00:23:51,258
Look, I did meet Patty
three nights ago.
429
00:23:51,342 --> 00:23:53,677
She'd scored some
Jingle-Jangle and reached out.
430
00:23:53,761 --> 00:23:56,055
- We met up at the truck stop.
- And then what?
431
00:23:56,139 --> 00:23:59,642
I told her that we should
take a drive to clear her mind.
432
00:23:59,726 --> 00:24:04,522
She was down with that plan, but about
a half a mile up the highway, she freaked.
433
00:24:04,606 --> 00:24:06,815
Jumped out of the truck,
started running.
434
00:24:06,899 --> 00:24:08,859
I tried to get her back in my
cab, but she wouldn't listen.
435
00:24:08,943 --> 00:24:10,369
She just kept running.
436
00:24:11,446 --> 00:24:14,332
That's the last time
I saw her.
437
00:24:14,949 --> 00:24:16,450
Honest to God.
438
00:24:16,534 --> 00:24:19,161
So you just left her there
on the side of the road.
439
00:24:19,245 --> 00:24:22,164
I didn't have a choice.
Patty was scared.
440
00:24:22,248 --> 00:24:24,500
I didn't want to make it worse.
441
00:24:24,584 --> 00:24:28,721
What part of the highway?
I need you to be very specific.
442
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,762
Hey, honey. What's going on?
443
00:24:36,846 --> 00:24:37,930
Why are you getting home
so late?
444
00:24:38,014 --> 00:24:41,016
It's about Polly, mom.
445
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:43,110
I have a lead
I need your help with.
446
00:24:46,147 --> 00:24:47,531
But you should sit down.
447
00:24:50,818 --> 00:24:52,152
[bell ringing]
448
00:24:52,236 --> 00:24:54,196
Look, I'm sorry, team.
449
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,490
The thing is, I should've got
my ducks in a row first
450
00:24:56,574 --> 00:25:00,786
- and secured the funding.
- And the school really can't give us any money at all?
451
00:25:00,870 --> 00:25:04,248
No. There's no funding
for sports, clubs, extra...
452
00:25:04,332 --> 00:25:06,166
[music playing]
453
00:25:06,250 --> 00:25:08,260
[cheering]
454
00:25:23,726 --> 00:25:27,605
Toni, since when are
the Vixens back?
455
00:25:27,689 --> 00:25:31,275
Since I made it a priority
in the budget last year?
456
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,319
There isn't even a sports thing
for them to cheer for.
457
00:25:33,403 --> 00:25:35,237
Uh, get over yourself Archie.
458
00:25:35,321 --> 00:25:38,782
The Vixens are a sports team,
and this year we're gonna be
459
00:25:38,866 --> 00:25:41,035
competing against
other cheer squads.
460
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,019
I'm not even sure I'll manage
to do that.
461
00:25:53,089 --> 00:25:55,257
Forget the school.
462
00:25:55,341 --> 00:25:57,893
Isn't there anyone else
who could sponsor the Bulldogs?
463
00:26:09,439 --> 00:26:11,315
It's Doris Bell.
464
00:26:11,399 --> 00:26:15,277
You told me to keep you
apprised of goings on at the school.
465
00:26:15,361 --> 00:26:20,249
Well, there's something
I think you should know.
466
00:26:21,409 --> 00:26:22,660
I see.
467
00:26:22,744 --> 00:26:24,044
Thanks, Miss Bell.
468
00:26:29,167 --> 00:26:32,127
So sorry for the interruption,
Miss Marble.
469
00:26:32,211 --> 00:26:36,090
How are you finding that
portrait of my beloved brother?
470
00:26:36,174 --> 00:26:40,052
I mean, figurative is back in vogue,
and the artist who painted your brother
471
00:26:40,136 --> 00:26:43,889
was chosen for next year's
Venice Biennale.
472
00:26:43,973 --> 00:26:47,226
I believe this portrait
could easily fetch
473
00:26:47,310 --> 00:26:52,198
- a quarter of a million dollars at auction.
- And worth every penny.
474
00:26:54,525 --> 00:26:56,443
I wonder...
475
00:26:56,527 --> 00:26:58,570
might I get to keep
my JJ for
476
00:26:58,654 --> 00:27:03,701
one more night so we can say
our proper ta-tas?
477
00:27:03,785 --> 00:27:07,287
I understand. I'm staying at the
Five Seasons in town overnight,
478
00:27:07,371 --> 00:27:09,540
but I'll be around
first thing in the morning.
479
00:27:09,624 --> 00:27:13,460
Even better, I'll have my men
pack it up and deliver it to your hotel.
480
00:27:13,544 --> 00:27:16,505
Well, Miss Blossom, it was a
pleasure dealing with you.
481
00:27:16,589 --> 00:27:20,050
Should you decide to sell any other
items in your collection, do let me know.
482
00:27:20,134 --> 00:27:22,061
I will indeed, Miss Marble.
483
00:27:29,268 --> 00:27:32,521
Now that she has authenticated
our original,
484
00:27:32,605 --> 00:27:38,369
we can swap in your perfect copy
and Marble shall be none the wiser.
485
00:27:40,571 --> 00:27:43,323
What's the matter, child?
486
00:27:43,407 --> 00:27:49,213
Oh, nothing. You know... Just some
upsetting news from Riverdale High.
487
00:27:50,122 --> 00:27:51,715
I'll be fine.
488
00:28:02,301 --> 00:28:03,427
Betty.
489
00:28:03,511 --> 00:28:04,812
Oh, my God.
490
00:28:05,721 --> 00:28:07,606
[gasping]
491
00:28:10,977 --> 00:28:12,570
These are her things.
492
00:28:14,564 --> 00:28:15,948
These are Polly's things.
493
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,529
[Jughead] More coffee, champ?
494
00:28:22,613 --> 00:28:24,865
Yeah, sure. Thanks, Jug.
495
00:28:24,949 --> 00:28:27,126
How goes it with the Bulldogs?
496
00:28:27,702 --> 00:28:28,952
It doesn't.
497
00:28:29,036 --> 00:28:30,329
The kids don't have
any equipment.
498
00:28:30,413 --> 00:28:32,289
They can't afford
any equipment.
499
00:28:32,373 --> 00:28:35,083
And the school doesn't have
any money.
500
00:28:35,167 --> 00:28:36,835
Well, if you promise to never
bring up
501
00:28:36,919 --> 00:28:39,129
the epic highs and lows
of high school football again,
502
00:28:39,213 --> 00:28:41,465
I can ask Tabitha if she's
willing to sponsor the team.
503
00:28:41,549 --> 00:28:43,467
That can't hurt.
504
00:28:43,551 --> 00:28:45,561
There is one more person
I can ask.
505
00:28:48,389 --> 00:28:50,057
Veronica.
506
00:28:50,141 --> 00:28:52,309
But that would be weird, right?
507
00:28:52,393 --> 00:28:55,521
I just interviewed a guy who wants
to be abducted by Mothman aliens.
508
00:28:55,605 --> 00:28:57,198
I think weird is relative.
509
00:28:58,816 --> 00:29:00,108
I say go for it.
510
00:29:00,192 --> 00:29:01,577
Embrace the weird.
511
00:29:03,988 --> 00:29:05,364
What do you think,
Chad?
512
00:29:05,448 --> 00:29:07,407
I know it's a tad sleazy
at the moment,
513
00:29:07,491 --> 00:29:10,410
but it's the perfect spot
for a jewelry store.
514
00:29:10,494 --> 00:29:13,997
Good foot traffic,
close to SoDale.
515
00:29:14,081 --> 00:29:18,886
Only bad thing is it's not in New York.
But maybe that's the whole point, huh?
516
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,841
Cards on the table, Chadwick.
Being back in Riverdale,
517
00:29:23,925 --> 00:29:27,135
seeing my friends,
working on a new business,
518
00:29:27,219 --> 00:29:30,305
it's been good for my soul.
519
00:29:30,389 --> 00:29:35,686
So we would have a place in the city and
a place in Riverdale where I'd be welcome?
520
00:29:35,770 --> 00:29:41,825
Yes, but I need your support
on this Chad, and love.
521
00:29:42,610 --> 00:29:43,910
You have it.
522
00:29:49,742 --> 00:29:51,410
Just curious.
523
00:29:51,494 --> 00:29:53,579
Are we going to buy a new house
or stay at the Pembrooke?
524
00:29:53,663 --> 00:29:55,664
Bite your tongue.
525
00:29:55,748 --> 00:29:59,718
I'm never leaving that apartment,
but it could do with a remodel.
526
00:30:01,045 --> 00:30:05,391
It's time for a change,
starting with a clean slate.
527
00:30:07,426 --> 00:30:11,480
What happened to her Betty? What
happened to Polly out on that highway?
528
00:30:12,348 --> 00:30:13,648
I don't know, Mom.
529
00:30:15,434 --> 00:30:16,852
But I do know one thing,
530
00:30:16,936 --> 00:30:19,521
if that creepy guy in jail had
hurt Polly,
531
00:30:19,605 --> 00:30:22,107
he wouldn't have told us
exactly where to go.
532
00:30:22,191 --> 00:30:23,567
So we have nothing.
We have no leads.
533
00:30:23,651 --> 00:30:25,652
We have...
She could be anywhere.
534
00:30:25,736 --> 00:30:28,322
We didn't find Polly's
cell phone,
535
00:30:28,406 --> 00:30:31,283
so we can trace it
through the phone company.
536
00:30:31,367 --> 00:30:34,328
Or if they can't do it,
maybe the FBI can.
537
00:30:34,412 --> 00:30:35,963
[sobbing] And if not?
538
00:30:42,253 --> 00:30:43,846
We wait...
539
00:30:47,508 --> 00:30:48,808
and we hope.
540
00:30:55,891 --> 00:30:57,809
[Chadwick] So I need to be back
in the city on Monday, the 19th.
541
00:30:57,893 --> 00:31:00,312
That's fine. We have your
niece's birthday party that weekend.
542
00:31:00,396 --> 00:31:04,816
So Mondays through Thursdays, I'm in
the city, then here every other weekend.
543
00:31:04,900 --> 00:31:07,411
And I'll be in New York
every other weekend.
544
00:31:10,573 --> 00:31:12,574
[chuckles]
545
00:31:12,658 --> 00:31:15,827
You know, there is one other
option that your father, of all people,
546
00:31:15,911 --> 00:31:19,498
suggested. Um, I could move
to Riverdale full time
547
00:31:19,582 --> 00:31:21,842
and help him manage the
SoDale properties.
548
00:31:24,253 --> 00:31:27,172
You're in finance,
not real estate.
549
00:31:27,256 --> 00:31:30,509
And wait, have you and my
father been talking behind my back?
550
00:31:30,593 --> 00:31:32,061
[knock on door]
551
00:31:36,432 --> 00:31:38,016
- Archie.
- Hey, Veronica.
552
00:31:38,100 --> 00:31:40,736
- Sorry to come by unannounced.
- Don't be. Come in.
553
00:31:42,563 --> 00:31:44,982
Archie, this is unexpected.
554
00:31:45,066 --> 00:31:47,326
Chad. Hey, you're still here.
555
00:31:51,947 --> 00:31:55,325
Um, listen, the thing is,
I'm restarting
556
00:31:55,409 --> 00:32:01,331
the football team at Riverdale High,
and there's no budget for anything.
557
00:32:01,415 --> 00:32:03,458
Say no more.
558
00:32:03,542 --> 00:32:06,420
As a former Vixen, I made an oath to
always support my beloved Bulldogs.
559
00:32:06,504 --> 00:32:08,171
I will absolutely cover
the startup costs.
560
00:32:08,255 --> 00:32:09,881
Thank you, Veronica.
561
00:32:09,965 --> 00:32:12,175
And I promise I'll pay you back
one hundred percent.
562
00:32:12,259 --> 00:32:15,062
You mean, pay us back
one hundred percent.
563
00:32:16,514 --> 00:32:17,931
Of course.
564
00:32:18,015 --> 00:32:19,400
Pay you guys back.
565
00:32:19,850 --> 00:32:21,893
Thank you, Chad.
566
00:32:21,977 --> 00:32:24,947
You know, actually,
now I think about it.
567
00:32:25,856 --> 00:32:28,984
You're a vet, a proud guy.
568
00:32:29,068 --> 00:32:31,319
You don't want to be taking
handouts, do you?
569
00:32:31,403 --> 00:32:32,946
So how's this for an idea?
570
00:32:33,030 --> 00:32:35,157
Instead of us loaning you
the money,
571
00:32:35,241 --> 00:32:37,325
what if you renovate
our apartment?
572
00:32:37,409 --> 00:32:39,870
- This apartment.
- Babe, what are you talking about?
573
00:32:39,954 --> 00:32:43,206
We help out Archie's team, he
does this job for us and gets paid.
574
00:32:43,290 --> 00:32:46,168
I'm sure Archie has
a million other things,
575
00:32:46,252 --> 00:32:48,872
- he's got to be doing right now.
- [Archie] No, it's fine.
576
00:32:49,255 --> 00:32:52,007
I definitely don't want
to be taking handouts.
577
00:32:52,091 --> 00:32:55,231
I'll call some of my dad's old crew
and see if any of them can help out.
578
00:32:56,137 --> 00:32:57,609
Awesome-sauce.
579
00:32:57,694 --> 00:32:58,831
Thanks again, Ronnie.
580
00:32:58,916 --> 00:33:00,961
Of course. I'll see
you at school tomorrow.
581
00:33:07,565 --> 00:33:09,691
Okay. What the hell was that?
582
00:33:09,775 --> 00:33:12,152
He's my friend.
583
00:33:12,236 --> 00:33:14,780
A guy like that, I'm sure he'd rather do a
little work than crawl to you for charity.
584
00:33:14,864 --> 00:33:16,615
You didn't have to be
such a dick about it.
585
00:33:16,699 --> 00:33:18,574
Excuse me?
586
00:33:18,659 --> 00:33:21,369
Have I not been accommodating to
your every whim since I've been here?
587
00:33:21,479 --> 00:33:23,705
I've been nice to your friends.
I even sang karaoke.
588
00:33:23,789 --> 00:33:26,341
I didn't realize
those were such chores for you.
589
00:33:29,837 --> 00:33:31,797
They weren't.
590
00:33:31,881 --> 00:33:36,468
I wanted to do them for you. If I
came across dickish with Archie,
591
00:33:36,552 --> 00:33:41,273
um, I'm sorry, but it won't
happen again, okay?
592
00:33:43,475 --> 00:33:45,068
- Okay.
- Good.
593
00:33:46,979 --> 00:33:48,279
What's for dinner?
594
00:33:50,024 --> 00:33:52,567
- Can we get Pop's take out?
- Ugh, I don't think I can handle
595
00:33:52,651 --> 00:33:54,578
another greasy burger and
onion rings.
596
00:33:56,405 --> 00:33:58,198
Let's go out.
597
00:33:58,282 --> 00:34:01,418
There's this Italian place that
your dad mentioned. Mia's?
598
00:34:07,708 --> 00:34:11,178
Sure. Let's go to Mia's.
599
00:34:17,551 --> 00:34:20,178
Are you working on your
Mothmen chronicles?
600
00:34:20,262 --> 00:34:22,347
It is so bizarre, Tabitha.
601
00:34:22,431 --> 00:34:24,558
So I ended up
talking to old man Dreyfus,
602
00:34:24,642 --> 00:34:26,560
and he did tell me the names of
the people that he used to work with.
603
00:34:26,644 --> 00:34:28,770
All his buddies from back in
the day.
604
00:34:28,854 --> 00:34:32,816
Tracked them down just so
I could corroborate his story.
605
00:34:32,917 --> 00:34:34,149
Uh-huh?
606
00:34:34,276 --> 00:34:35,576
Get this.
607
00:34:36,695 --> 00:34:37,995
They're all dead.
608
00:34:39,889 --> 00:34:42,200
Couldn't that just be a
coincidence because they're old?
609
00:34:42,284 --> 00:34:44,744
Well, curiously,
they all died from cancer.
610
00:34:44,828 --> 00:34:50,342
And, yeah, that could be a
coincidence, but maybe, just maybe,
611
00:34:52,169 --> 00:34:55,589
they were all exposed to the same
radiation on the spaceship. Hm?
612
00:34:55,673 --> 00:34:58,508
Uh, is that what happens when
you go aboard a spaceship?
613
00:34:58,592 --> 00:35:00,769
Oh, I have no idea.
But it makes a great story.
614
00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:03,871
What's the next step?
615
00:35:03,956 --> 00:35:07,058
Dreyfus said that some articles were
produced after their close encounter,
616
00:35:07,142 --> 00:35:09,570
so just tracking those
ones down.
617
00:35:11,605 --> 00:35:14,191
I'm in.
618
00:35:14,275 --> 00:35:20,581
If you want some help, unless you're
like the lone wolf type or whatever.
619
00:35:22,449 --> 00:35:23,749
Sure.
620
00:35:27,162 --> 00:35:28,463
More the merrier.
621
00:35:33,043 --> 00:35:34,343
[knock on door]
622
00:35:37,214 --> 00:35:38,506
- Betty.
- Hey.
623
00:35:38,590 --> 00:35:41,351
- Is Chuck at home?
- No, he's working.
624
00:35:43,721 --> 00:35:45,805
My mom and I are waiting
to hear something.
625
00:35:45,889 --> 00:35:51,561
Anything about Polly and she's
driving me crazy.
626
00:35:51,645 --> 00:35:55,824
Yeah. I'm feeling pretty crazy
and frustrated myself.
627
00:36:09,663 --> 00:36:10,964
Let's go upstairs.
628
00:36:19,256 --> 00:36:20,849
[sighs]
629
00:36:22,676 --> 00:36:24,261
[cell phone ringing]
630
00:36:24,345 --> 00:36:26,647
- Is that me?
- It's me, I think.
631
00:36:31,810 --> 00:36:34,229
Yeah, it's my friend, Todd
from the academy.
632
00:36:34,313 --> 00:36:36,323
It's probably about
Polly's phone.
633
00:36:38,734 --> 00:36:42,704
I should go, but this...
was really nice.
634
00:37:01,215 --> 00:37:04,851
- What's this?
- Chad.
635
00:37:06,345 --> 00:37:09,606
Upon reflection, I think
we need to pump the brakes.
636
00:37:13,769 --> 00:37:16,396
Back in New York,
I had the instinct
637
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,701
that we should take some time
to be by ourselves.
638
00:37:21,985 --> 00:37:24,779
And as fun as the last few days
have been,
639
00:37:24,863 --> 00:37:28,366
- I still think we need a break.
- Because of Archie?
640
00:37:28,450 --> 00:37:32,912
No, Chad. Because of me.
641
00:37:32,996 --> 00:37:35,457
Because I need real time and
space to figure out
642
00:37:35,541 --> 00:37:41,722
if I'm a Pop's girl or
a Mia's girl or both.
643
00:37:45,050 --> 00:37:46,768
It's not gonna be a problem,
is it?
644
00:37:48,429 --> 00:37:50,430
Not at all.
645
00:37:50,514 --> 00:37:52,774
Just let me know
when you're ready to talk.
646
00:38:06,196 --> 00:38:07,496
Cheryl.
647
00:38:08,031 --> 00:38:09,783
Hi, Toni.
648
00:38:09,867 --> 00:38:13,745
I was going to give you a call
and then I thought, mmm no.
649
00:38:13,829 --> 00:38:16,715
Stealing my Vixens warrants
a visit in person.
650
00:38:20,127 --> 00:38:24,139
You're playing
a very dangerous game, Topaz.
651
00:38:26,425 --> 00:38:29,177
All right. You've each been
assigned a locker.
652
00:38:29,261 --> 00:38:33,348
That's to go along with your new
cleats, your new uniform and pads.
653
00:38:33,432 --> 00:38:36,017
I'm also psyched to announce
our generous sponsor
654
00:38:36,101 --> 00:38:39,687
for all this stuff and other Bulldog
expenses is Veronica Gekko.
655
00:38:39,771 --> 00:38:42,449
Lodge, actually.
Veronica Lodge.
656
00:38:44,318 --> 00:38:46,945
Okay. Well, you heard the lady.
657
00:38:47,029 --> 00:38:49,114
Let's give Veronica Lodge
a round of applause.
658
00:38:49,198 --> 00:38:51,208
[all applauding]
659
00:38:53,911 --> 00:38:58,248
You asked me to call if anything
interesting or important happens.
660
00:38:58,332 --> 00:39:03,470
Well, you should know what's going
on in the boys locker room right now.
661
00:39:05,047 --> 00:39:06,348
I see.
662
00:39:07,799 --> 00:39:09,467
Well, thank you, Miss Bell.
663
00:39:09,551 --> 00:39:13,138
Your information is, as always,
very much appreciated.
664
00:39:13,222 --> 00:39:14,522
We'll be in touch.
665
00:39:16,642 --> 00:39:21,020
You see, now I'm angry.
666
00:39:21,104 --> 00:39:23,848
- What happened?
- Archie Andrews made good
667
00:39:23,933 --> 00:39:26,451
on his promise to you
and started a football team...
668
00:39:28,445 --> 00:39:30,121
with my daughter's money.
669
00:39:32,908 --> 00:39:36,786
So maybe this time,
we pay him a visit.
670
00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:38,997
I heard from my friend
Todd at the FBI.
671
00:39:39,081 --> 00:39:42,417
He traced the call to
somewhere in this region.
672
00:39:42,501 --> 00:39:44,627
Swedlow Swamp?
673
00:39:44,711 --> 00:39:47,380
I don't understand.
What was Polly doing there?
674
00:39:47,464 --> 00:39:51,509
And how on earth are we going to find
her? That's acres and acres of marsh land.
675
00:39:51,593 --> 00:39:54,646
We'll just have to keep calling
her cell phone until we hear it ring.
676
00:39:57,391 --> 00:39:59,109
[Kevin] Assuming it's
still charged.
677
00:40:10,112 --> 00:40:12,697
We've been out here for hours.
We're freezing.
678
00:40:12,781 --> 00:40:14,481
- Maybe we should pick it up...
- Shh.
679
00:40:15,033 --> 00:40:16,333
I hear something.
680
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:20,379
Let's split up.
681
00:40:30,340 --> 00:40:32,244
Guys, guys over here.
682
00:40:41,768 --> 00:40:43,607
[Jughead] Archie,
there's a fire!
683
00:40:51,695 --> 00:40:53,450
It's on the back porch, too.
