1
00:00:02,976 --> 00:00:06,041
There's a town that
exists at the borderlands.

2
00:00:06,066 --> 00:00:08,957
A place of nightmares and dreamscapes.

3
00:00:08,982 --> 00:00:11,220
A place where folklore and myth

4
00:00:11,245 --> 00:00:14,571
carry the weight of fact and truth.

5
00:00:14,596 --> 00:00:17,183
A place where
superstition and their laws

6
00:00:17,208 --> 00:00:19,533
overshadow the laws of science,

7
00:00:19,558 --> 00:00:22,415
and a place where old
traditions die hard,

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,321
if they die at all.

9
00:00:24,346 --> 00:00:25,826
The name of this place

10
00:00:26,869 --> 00:00:29,150
is Rivervale.

11
00:00:29,175 --> 00:00:31,806
And though it might
seem familiar to you,

12
00:00:31,831 --> 00:00:34,287
like a town you visited
before, I can assure you,

13
00:00:34,312 --> 00:00:37,029
it is not that same town.

14
00:00:37,054 --> 00:00:39,248
Don't worry, I'll show you around.

15
00:00:39,273 --> 00:00:41,903
First stop, Toni and Fangs' apartment,

16
00:00:41,928 --> 00:00:43,861
portrait of a couple in distress.

17
00:00:43,886 --> 00:00:46,255
Baby Anthony finally fell asleep?

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,751
More like he passed out from exhaustion.

19
00:00:48,776 --> 00:00:50,797
He can't keep going like this, Fangs.

20
00:00:50,822 --> 00:00:53,235
He's literally crying 24/7.

21
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:54,392
Something's wrong.

22
00:00:54,417 --> 00:00:57,970
We'll call Doc Curdle,
get Anthony an appointment.

23
00:00:57,995 --> 00:01:00,294
It's gonna be okay, I promise.

24
00:01:07,589 --> 00:01:09,975
There she is, Miss Tabitha Tate.

25
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,716
And that is our real estate agent.

26
00:01:12,741 --> 00:01:14,675
And if I'm not mistaken,
those are our...

27
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:17,025
Here are your keys.

28
00:01:17,050 --> 00:01:18,200
Thank you, Ms. Gordon.

29
00:01:18,225 --> 00:01:19,806
We are so excited.

30
00:01:21,143 --> 00:01:23,727
So, is this your first
time living with a beau?

31
00:01:23,752 --> 00:01:25,816
Actually, yes.

32
00:01:25,841 --> 00:01:28,210
I've never taken that step before.

33
00:01:28,235 --> 00:01:31,300
I have always been too guarded, I guess.

34
00:01:31,325 --> 00:01:32,519
Too nervous.

35
00:01:32,544 --> 00:01:34,086
Of course.

36
00:01:34,111 --> 00:01:36,726
This day and age, you
can't be too careful.

37
00:01:39,681 --> 00:01:42,608
Let's check in with Rivervale's
premier power couple,

38
00:01:42,633 --> 00:01:44,661
Reggie Mantle and Veronica Lodge.

39
00:01:44,686 --> 00:01:46,881
I'm sorry, Mr. Banks,
but if you hesitate,

40
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:49,536
I can't guarantee this
opportunity will be here tomorrow.

41
00:01:49,561 --> 00:01:52,713
You'd be getting in on the ground
floor of a gold mine, Mr. Lance.

42
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:54,062
Yes, that is correct.

43
00:01:54,087 --> 00:01:55,844
A casino right here in Rivervale.

44
00:01:58,004 --> 00:02:00,547
Exhausting, aren't they?

45
00:02:00,572 --> 00:02:02,984
Let's head over to Elm Street.

46
00:02:03,009 --> 00:02:06,683
The Cooper house, where
Alice is doing a lot better,

47
00:02:06,708 --> 00:02:10,426
but her appliances, not so much.

48
00:02:10,451 --> 00:02:13,038
Well... that should clear that up.

49
00:02:13,063 --> 00:02:14,952
What was it, Frank? More chicken bones?

50
00:02:14,977 --> 00:02:17,564
No, not this time. It was a,

51
00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:19,165
dish rag.

52
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:22,070
Hey, I have quiche in the oven.
Would you stay for breakfast?

53
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:28,618
Tempting, but let's go next door.

54
00:02:28,643 --> 00:02:30,968
Where my old chum Archie Andrews

55
00:02:30,993 --> 00:02:34,494
is living with my
ex-girlfriend Betty Cooper.

56
00:02:34,519 --> 00:02:37,018
Let that one sink in for a minute.

57
00:02:37,043 --> 00:02:40,239
And while we're all good friends,
I should probably end the tour here

58
00:02:40,264 --> 00:02:44,137
and leave whatever is happening
upstairs to your imaginations.

59
00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:52,754
Arch.

60
00:02:55,453 --> 00:02:57,430
You okay? Was it another nightmare?

61
00:02:57,455 --> 00:02:59,631
- Yeah. Sorry I woke you.
- No, it's okay.

62
00:03:00,893 --> 00:03:02,460
Was it a bad one?

63
00:03:03,983 --> 00:03:05,289
It was surreal.

64
00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:09,877
We were talking up here in my room,

65
00:03:09,902 --> 00:03:12,184
and we heard this ticking noise.

66
00:03:13,775 --> 00:03:15,665
It was a bomb under the bed.

67
00:03:15,690 --> 00:03:18,886
Oh, my God. That's awful.

68
00:03:18,911 --> 00:03:23,978
Yeah, the weirdest part, we were
living in a town called Riverdale.

69
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:27,901
- Riverdale with a "D."
- Yeah.

70
00:03:29,182 --> 00:03:33,141
Okay. No more Twilight Zone
marathons before bed, okay?

71
00:03:35,623 --> 00:03:37,475
Let's make all those bad dreams go

72
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:39,726
away with some early morning delight.

73
00:03:58,865 --> 00:04:00,125
Kev, what's going on?

74
00:04:03,651 --> 00:04:04,758
Where are you?

75
00:04:04,783 --> 00:04:06,180
I was jogging when I found it.

76
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,624
The way the deer's laid out looks...

77
00:04:14,749 --> 00:04:17,187
ritualistic, like it was sacrificed.

78
00:04:19,450 --> 00:04:23,385
And its blood was used to draw these
runic symbols all over the stone.

79
00:04:23,410 --> 00:04:24,861
Who would do that?

80
00:04:24,886 --> 00:04:28,521
I don't know, but whoever
did took the deer's heart.

81
00:04:28,546 --> 00:04:31,045
Okay, never gonna jog here again.

82
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:33,395
Nor should you, interloper.

83
00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:35,275
You merry three are trespassing on the

84
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,617
sacred sovereign nation of Thornhill.

85
00:04:37,642 --> 00:04:39,532
Be gone from its borders immediately,

86
00:04:39,557 --> 00:04:41,447
or else my pupils will
shoot you full of arrows.

87
00:04:41,472 --> 00:04:45,220
- Like who, girls?
- St. Sebastian. Mistress Blossom.

88
00:04:45,245 --> 00:04:48,497
Cheryl, this is a crime scene so I
need to collect all of the evidence,

89
00:04:48,522 --> 00:04:49,673
including the deer.

90
00:04:49,698 --> 00:04:51,314
You will do nothing of the sort.

91
00:04:51,339 --> 00:04:53,241
My girls and I will assume
possession of that carcass.

92
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:55,236
- To do what?
- We will make a stew from its meat,

93
00:04:55,261 --> 00:04:57,898
a pelt from its hide and
a paste from its hooves.

94
00:04:57,923 --> 00:04:59,283
That's a little barbaric.

95
00:04:59,309 --> 00:05:02,499
No, you sad, simple, she-child.

96
00:05:03,537 --> 00:05:07,037
It's a part of a sacred
circle of life and death,

97
00:05:07,062 --> 00:05:10,171
of use, reuse and rebirth,

98
00:05:10,196 --> 00:05:13,828
of paying respect to
what the Earth gives us,

99
00:05:13,853 --> 00:05:16,508
all of what she gives us.

100
00:05:18,857 --> 00:05:21,008
Now leave my land, heathens.

101
00:05:22,859 --> 00:05:24,036
Girls.

102
00:05:28,083 --> 00:05:29,219
Toodles.

103
00:05:40,618 --> 00:05:42,858
I'm afraid Baby Anthony has colic.

104
00:05:42,883 --> 00:05:44,205
Colic?

105
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:47,382
It's quite common and
can last indefinitely.

106
00:05:47,407 --> 00:05:50,646
There might be gas in his
intestines causing the discomfort...

107
00:05:50,671 --> 00:05:52,344
What can we do, Doc?

108
00:05:52,369 --> 00:05:54,955
Because he's crying 24/7.

109
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:57,044
It's agony for all of us.

110
00:05:57,069 --> 00:05:58,766
I do know of an old folk remedy.

111
00:06:02,073 --> 00:06:04,921
I'd like to put this toad
in Baby Anthony's mouth.

112
00:06:04,946 --> 00:06:07,228
It'll suck the colic right out of him,

113
00:06:07,253 --> 00:06:08,390
absorb it.

114
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:11,145
No more crying.

115
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:13,887
I'm sorry, but there's no chance in hell

116
00:06:13,912 --> 00:06:17,464
I'm letting you put a frickin'
frog in my baby's mouth.

117
00:06:18,395 --> 00:06:23,265
In that case, the only other
recommendation I can make is ear plugs.

118
00:06:26,562 --> 00:06:28,945
How many more boxes of
comic books do you have?

119
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:31,017
It's just a fraction.

120
00:06:31,042 --> 00:06:32,915
The rest is still in storage.

121
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:34,560
You know, to be honest with you, Jug,

122
00:06:34,585 --> 00:06:36,388
I didn't know you were that into comics.

123
00:06:36,413 --> 00:06:38,825
Well, what can I say,
Archie? I contain multitudes.

124
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:40,805
Come on.

125
00:06:42,201 --> 00:06:44,396
I really appreciate your help, Betty.

126
00:06:44,421 --> 00:06:46,181
I hope you don't feel weird being here.

127
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:47,284
No, not at all.

128
00:06:47,309 --> 00:06:49,751
Honestly, I'm very happy
that you and Jughead are

129
00:06:49,776 --> 00:06:51,054
taking this step together.

130
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:53,927
Meanwhile, what about you and Archie?

131
00:06:53,952 --> 00:06:55,973
Are you all in?

132
00:06:55,998 --> 00:06:57,276
It's really weird, Tabitha.

133
00:06:57,301 --> 00:07:00,570
Back in high school, one of the
biggest questions in my life was...

134
00:07:01,916 --> 00:07:04,590
"Am I going to end up
with Archie or Jughead?"

135
00:07:04,615 --> 00:07:09,023
And now it seems like we
have a definitive answer.

136
00:07:12,752 --> 00:07:15,035
Today's your lucky day, Cameron.

137
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,392
I'm wondering if you or any of your

138
00:07:17,417 --> 00:07:20,736
boys want to invest in a boutique casino

139
00:07:20,761 --> 00:07:22,651
a colleague and I are
opening up in Rivervale.

140
00:07:22,676 --> 00:07:25,001
So this is what you've
been up to, Veronica.

141
00:07:25,026 --> 00:07:28,483
As usual, the she-wolf is
making lemonade out of lemons.

142
00:07:28,508 --> 00:07:30,398
I don't even know what
that means, Cameron.

143
00:07:30,423 --> 00:07:33,445
This casino or whatever
is obviously a distraction

144
00:07:33,470 --> 00:07:36,752
till you come back to New
York, where you belong.

145
00:07:36,777 --> 00:07:40,190
As usual, Cameron, you're
totally wrong about everything.

146
00:07:40,215 --> 00:07:42,914
I'm all in on the casino and Rivervale.

147
00:07:47,701 --> 00:07:49,722
Tell me straight, Ronnie.

148
00:07:49,747 --> 00:07:51,463
Do you want this casino or not?

149
00:07:51,488 --> 00:07:52,924
Of course I do.

150
00:07:53,968 --> 00:07:55,858
Ignore Cameron. He's an idiot.

151
00:07:55,883 --> 00:07:59,949
So it's just not another stopgap
till you get your old job back?

152
00:07:59,974 --> 00:08:04,693
Reggie, I did want to go
back to Wall Street initially.

153
00:08:04,718 --> 00:08:07,348
But now...

154
00:08:07,373 --> 00:08:10,438
I'm having a ball doing this with you.

155
00:08:10,463 --> 00:08:13,437
And I think our casino is gonna be huge.

156
00:08:15,344 --> 00:08:17,648
Everything happens for a reason, lover.

157
00:08:19,071 --> 00:08:22,890
Everything that's
meant to be finally is.

158
00:08:26,697 --> 00:08:28,916
Jughead, spider! Spider, Jughead!

159
00:08:30,466 --> 00:08:33,009
No, no, no! Jughead, Jughead, don't!

160
00:08:33,034 --> 00:08:35,230
Oh, my God, Jughead. I
didn't want you to kill it!

161
00:08:35,255 --> 00:08:37,088
I wanted you to put in
a cup and take it outside.

162
00:08:37,113 --> 00:08:39,293
You never kill a spider. It's bad luck.

163
00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:41,469
Come on, that's just superstition.

164
00:08:41,494 --> 00:08:44,472
Maybe so, but we just moved in together,

165
00:08:44,497 --> 00:08:46,779
and I don't want anything to jinx us.

166
00:08:46,804 --> 00:08:47,962
Tabitha.

167
00:08:47,987 --> 00:08:51,479
It's just an itsy-bitsy spider.
What's the worse that's gonna happen?

168
00:08:51,504 --> 00:08:53,417
It's not like we're cursed now.

169
00:08:58,337 --> 00:09:01,228
And next on the agenda,
we have an update,

170
00:09:01,253 --> 00:09:03,665
on the town's reforestation plans.

171
00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:05,450
Archie Andrews.

172
00:09:05,475 --> 00:09:07,234
Thanks, Toni.

173
00:09:07,259 --> 00:09:09,410
Yeah, basically, we're good to go.

174
00:09:09,435 --> 00:09:12,979
As you may know, since Cheryl
declared Thornhill a sovereign state,

175
00:09:13,004 --> 00:09:15,416
we've lost our local
supply of maple syrup

176
00:09:15,441 --> 00:09:17,592
as well as the revenue that
the syrup was bringing in.

177
00:09:17,617 --> 00:09:20,552
- Aren't our trees already tapped out anyway?
- They are, Tom.

178
00:09:20,577 --> 00:09:22,292
Which is why I propose

179
00:09:22,317 --> 00:09:25,426
we buy and distribute maple saplings.

180
00:09:25,451 --> 00:09:28,603
One per family to be planted
in each family's yard.

181
00:09:28,628 --> 00:09:31,693
My crew and I will take point
on seeding a grove of maple trees

182
00:09:31,718 --> 00:09:33,042
that the town will own.

183
00:09:33,067 --> 00:09:34,610
And have we secured the saplings?

184
00:09:34,635 --> 00:09:36,135
We just got the shipment in, Alice.

185
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,830
And as we discussed, Frank
and I will be setting up

186
00:09:37,855 --> 00:09:39,415
a distribution center outside of Pop's.

187
00:09:47,604 --> 00:09:49,363
Riveting.

188
00:09:49,388 --> 00:09:52,497
You might find the discussion
underway at Thornhill,

189
00:09:52,522 --> 00:09:55,172
also about maple
syrup, more interesting.

190
00:10:02,836 --> 00:10:04,228
Today,

191
00:10:04,253 --> 00:10:06,967
before we came upon those
intruders in my forest,

192
00:10:06,992 --> 00:10:09,905
I was pointing out our
precious maple trees,

193
00:10:09,930 --> 00:10:13,909
how dry and lifeless they have become.

194
00:10:13,934 --> 00:10:17,913
I believe our maple groves
have withered away because

195
00:10:17,938 --> 00:10:20,829
we have forgotten the old ways.

196
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:23,484
Ah, the old ways.

197
00:10:23,509 --> 00:10:26,226
Before we built our first
settlement in Rivervale,

198
00:10:26,251 --> 00:10:31,100
when this area was just
land and river and rocks,

199
00:10:31,125 --> 00:10:33,407
it all belonged to her.

200
00:10:33,432 --> 00:10:36,323
She who walks amongst the trees.

201
00:10:36,348 --> 00:10:38,238
We worshipped her.

202
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:40,806
We gave offerings to her.

203
00:10:40,831 --> 00:10:43,635
And she provided.

204
00:10:43,660 --> 00:10:45,985
Maple sap, yes,

205
00:10:46,010 --> 00:10:51,581
but also life in all its
beautiful, glorious facets.

206
00:10:53,060 --> 00:10:56,909
Over time, we left the old ways behind.

207
00:10:56,934 --> 00:10:59,302
We started taking the
Maple Maiden for granted,

208
00:10:59,327 --> 00:11:03,462
and she, in turn, punished us.

209
00:11:05,290 --> 00:11:10,357
All that was once fecund is now barren.

210
00:11:10,382 --> 00:11:14,274
We must again pay tribute to
her, like our ancestors once did.

211
00:11:14,299 --> 00:11:18,670
We must return to the old ways,
the blood ways, the pagan ways,

212
00:11:18,695 --> 00:11:21,976
and by hoof and by horn,
girls, return we shall.

213
00:11:23,395 --> 00:11:25,459
But first,

214
00:11:25,484 --> 00:11:27,673
we have to go into town tomorrow.

215
00:11:27,698 --> 00:11:29,821
My spies have told
me that Archie Andrews

216
00:11:29,846 --> 00:11:32,031
is trying to steal my maple thunder.

217
00:11:32,056 --> 00:11:34,961
And that simply will not do.

218
00:11:40,164 --> 00:11:43,570
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --

219
00:11:45,635 --> 00:11:47,539
Yes, Mom. I promise.

220
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:53,313
Okay, yeah. I love you too.

221
00:11:53,338 --> 00:11:54,513
All right, bye.

222
00:11:55,862 --> 00:11:57,883
Hey.

223
00:11:57,908 --> 00:11:59,101
How's your mom?

224
00:11:59,126 --> 00:12:01,190
Honestly? Yeah, she's good.

225
00:12:01,215 --> 00:12:03,497
She says hi. And...

226
00:12:03,522 --> 00:12:07,370
She's wondering if we've put any
more thought into what she asked

227
00:12:07,395 --> 00:12:08,729
last time she was here.

228
00:12:10,007 --> 00:12:12,071
Arch.

229
00:12:12,096 --> 00:12:14,726
I thought we decided that
marriage wasn't for us

230
00:12:14,751 --> 00:12:17,119
because everyone we know who's married

231
00:12:17,144 --> 00:12:18,991
is either divorced or dead.

232
00:12:19,016 --> 00:12:20,004
No, totally.

233
00:12:20,029 --> 00:12:22,237
She was actually asking
about the other thing.

234
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,354
The "when am I going to
have a grandkid" thing.

235
00:12:28,155 --> 00:12:30,393
And what did you say?

236
00:12:30,418 --> 00:12:32,067
I told her if it were up to me,

237
00:12:32,092 --> 00:12:34,100
I would want it to happen
sooner rather than later.

238
00:12:34,125 --> 00:12:36,138
I mean, my dad was a young dad.

239
00:12:36,163 --> 00:12:37,403
Arch, for the record,

240
00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:40,752
I've been dreaming about starting
a family with you since...

241
00:12:42,517 --> 00:12:43,910
Sixth grade.

242
00:12:45,695 --> 00:12:48,237
But let's just take our time.

243
00:12:48,262 --> 00:12:50,718
There's no rush, we're in our twenties.

244
00:12:50,743 --> 00:12:52,546
Okay, so let's just keep doing our thing

245
00:12:52,571 --> 00:12:54,417
and let nature run its course.

246
00:12:54,442 --> 00:12:56,051
- Yeah.
- Like right now.

247
00:13:06,854 --> 00:13:08,019
Ooh!

248
00:13:17,552 --> 00:13:19,486
Shades of Creepshow.

249
00:13:19,511 --> 00:13:21,793
One per household,
plant them in your yard.

250
00:13:21,818 --> 00:13:23,233
Make sure there's enough space for

251
00:13:23,258 --> 00:13:25,245
their roots to grow wide and deep, okay?

252
00:13:30,242 --> 00:13:31,809
Well, well, well.

253
00:13:31,834 --> 00:13:33,873
So it is true you are making a play

254
00:13:33,898 --> 00:13:35,937
for my maple birthright and empire.

255
00:13:35,962 --> 00:13:39,549
Cheryl, you don't own maple trees
or maple syrup, for that matter.

256
00:13:39,574 --> 00:13:41,239
I believe every citizen of Rivervale

257
00:13:41,264 --> 00:13:43,090
should be able to tap their own tree.

258
00:13:43,115 --> 00:13:46,268
Then I'd like 13 saplings, please.

259
00:13:46,293 --> 00:13:48,123
That way we can plant them
in the Thornhill groves,

260
00:13:48,148 --> 00:13:49,516
and they can grow in the shadow

261
00:13:49,541 --> 00:13:51,823
of she who walks amongst the trees.

262
00:13:51,848 --> 00:13:54,390
You seceded, remember?

263
00:13:54,415 --> 00:13:57,480
These saplings are reserved
for taxpaying citizens

264
00:13:57,505 --> 00:14:01,267
of Rivervale to be planted in Rivervale.

265
00:14:01,292 --> 00:14:04,357
- Unless you want to rejoin our ranks?
- Rejoin Rivervale?

266
00:14:04,382 --> 00:14:06,925
After you tried to erase the
sins this town has perpetrated

267
00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:10,363
against my ancestor, Abigail Blossom?

268
00:14:10,388 --> 00:14:14,454
You and I both know there is only
one way that will ever happen.

269
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:15,828
Over your dead body.

270
00:14:17,438 --> 00:14:19,720
No, Archie. Over yours.

271
00:14:19,745 --> 00:14:21,065
Come along, girls.

272
00:14:23,618 --> 00:14:27,206
I'm afraid, Miss Cooper, that
the test came back conclusive.

273
00:14:27,231 --> 00:14:30,687
You don't seem to be
producing any viable eggs.

274
00:14:30,712 --> 00:14:33,541
It will be difficult for
you to conceive a child.

275
00:14:36,542 --> 00:14:37,850
My God.

276
00:14:40,581 --> 00:14:43,222
If it's any consolation, you're
not alone in this dilemma.

277
00:14:43,247 --> 00:14:47,226
No, actually, it's not a consolation,
but what are you talking about?

278
00:14:47,251 --> 00:14:52,175
You're the fifth young, healthy woman
to come see me who is essentially

279
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:54,464
barren.

280
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:06,676
Look.

281
00:15:06,701 --> 00:15:09,901
I know if we pick up Baby
Anthony, it'll validate his crying.

282
00:15:09,926 --> 00:15:11,340
But this is torture.

283
00:15:11,365 --> 00:15:14,819
I was talking to my grandma
about Anthony's colic.

284
00:15:14,844 --> 00:15:17,430
She said back in the day,
serpent mothers would leave

285
00:15:17,455 --> 00:15:20,912
their crying babies on tree
stumps in Fox Forest overnight.

286
00:15:20,937 --> 00:15:23,175
They just left their
babies in the woods?

287
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,220
Yes.

288
00:15:25,245 --> 00:15:27,856
And when the mothers
went back in the morning,

289
00:15:27,881 --> 00:15:29,442
the babies were sleeping peacefully.

290
00:15:29,467 --> 00:15:31,192
They'd cried the colic out.

291
00:15:31,217 --> 00:15:34,384
There's no way a serpent mother
would abandon her baby like that.

292
00:15:34,409 --> 00:15:38,171
Well, apparently, my mom did it to me.

293
00:15:39,825 --> 00:15:41,356
It worked.

294
00:15:41,381 --> 00:15:45,914
Leaving Baby Anthony in the
woods would toughen him up.

295
00:15:45,939 --> 00:15:47,398
Just like his mama.

296
00:15:49,226 --> 00:15:50,811
Reginald.

297
00:15:50,836 --> 00:15:52,331
Will you come with me, please?

298
00:15:58,459 --> 00:15:59,721
Surprise!

299
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,261
In case you're worried
that I don't appreciate you,

300
00:16:06,286 --> 00:16:09,961
here is cold, hard proof
that I do value you.

301
00:16:09,986 --> 00:16:12,006
Your bonus, sir.

302
00:16:12,031 --> 00:16:14,095
And not only that,

303
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,055
there's one thing I
fantasized about doing,

304
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,534
but never have.

305
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:24,259
I've always wanted to make
it on a bed full of money.

306
00:16:40,494 --> 00:16:42,645
Bratwurst was delicious as usual, Alice.

307
00:16:42,670 --> 00:16:45,282
Thank you, Frank. It's
one of my go-to recipes.

308
00:16:47,283 --> 00:16:49,130
Well, I should probably head back home.

309
00:16:49,155 --> 00:16:51,002
Archie and I have a big
day of planting tomorrow.

310
00:16:51,027 --> 00:16:52,598
Frank.

311
00:16:52,623 --> 00:16:55,528
It's the same thing every time.
I make you a delicious meal,

312
00:16:55,553 --> 00:16:57,448
and you sprint for the door.

313
00:16:59,035 --> 00:17:01,951
So I'm going to make
this plain as day for you.

314
00:17:02,952 --> 00:17:04,910
I like you, Frank Andrews.

315
00:17:06,607 --> 00:17:10,936
I find you very attractive.

316
00:17:10,961 --> 00:17:14,007
And I would like for you
to stay the night with me.

317
00:17:15,703 --> 00:17:16,661
In my bed.

318
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,163
Wow, I am very flattered, Alice.

319
00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:24,799
You're such a beautiful woman.

320
00:17:26,236 --> 00:17:29,362
- But I just...
- You just what?

321
00:17:30,272 --> 00:17:31,487
I just...

322
00:17:34,766 --> 00:17:36,942
can't go there.

323
00:17:39,771 --> 00:17:41,226
Wow. I don't believe it.

324
00:17:41,251 --> 00:17:44,229
When will I ever learn?

325
00:17:44,254 --> 00:17:46,956
I fall for the strong,
silent type every time.

326
00:17:55,352 --> 00:17:56,628
I've been thinking.

327
00:18:00,487 --> 00:18:02,794
What if we adopted a baby?

328
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,845
Betty.

329
00:18:14,153 --> 00:18:17,523
My dad always used to tell me

330
00:18:17,548 --> 00:18:20,542
that the most fulfilling thing that
he ever did was become a father.

331
00:18:22,205 --> 00:18:23,746
And I want to do that with you,

332
00:18:23,771 --> 00:18:25,808
every step of the process.

333
00:18:27,775 --> 00:18:29,026
Arch.

334
00:18:31,838 --> 00:18:33,927
You need to believe
me when I tell you...

335
00:18:36,523 --> 00:18:39,787
there's nothing more that I
want than to have your baby.

336
00:18:41,137 --> 00:18:44,115
Not just for you, but for me.

337
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:45,184
I love you

338
00:18:46,707 --> 00:18:47,882
so much.

339
00:18:49,449 --> 00:18:51,930
I want to create a life with you.

340
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,257
I want to be the mother of your child,

341
00:18:56,282 --> 00:18:57,501
our child.

342
00:18:58,589 --> 00:18:59,720
Then you will.

343
00:19:02,158 --> 00:19:03,393
It'll happen.

344
00:19:21,394 --> 00:19:22,830
Bon soir, Antoinette.

345
00:19:24,963 --> 00:19:28,028
Cheryl, what are you doing here?

346
00:19:28,053 --> 00:19:29,899
Just taking in some night air.

347
00:19:29,924 --> 00:19:32,293
What are you doing with
that little bundle of babe?

348
00:19:32,318 --> 00:19:34,817
It's a long story. I'm just

349
00:19:34,842 --> 00:19:36,950
trying to cure his colic.

350
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:38,159
I see.

351
00:19:40,581 --> 00:19:41,762
May I?

352
00:19:45,052 --> 00:19:46,323
Okay.

353
00:19:53,252 --> 00:19:54,661
How did you do that?

354
00:19:54,686 --> 00:19:57,492
It must be the calming perfume
I concocted in my greenhouse.

355
00:19:57,517 --> 00:19:58,801
The ingredients of which

356
00:19:58,826 --> 00:20:01,801
I could mix into a more
permanent solution for his colic.

357
00:20:01,826 --> 00:20:05,196
But then you must help me embrace
Rivervale's oldest of old things.

358
00:20:05,221 --> 00:20:07,807
Fine. Just tell me what to do.

359
00:20:07,832 --> 00:20:08,911
Not much.

360
00:20:08,936 --> 00:20:11,854
I just need you to
bear witness and then,

361
00:20:11,879 --> 00:20:13,637
per tradition,

362
00:20:13,662 --> 00:20:15,433
everything will be as it should.

363
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:19,906
Hey, hey, hey.

364
00:20:19,931 --> 00:20:21,864
- What's going on?
- Do you not feel them?

365
00:20:21,889 --> 00:20:24,215
- Feel what?
- Something is biting me.

366
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,652
You seriously not feel like
you're being eaten alive?

367
00:20:26,677 --> 00:20:28,545
No.

368
00:20:30,681 --> 00:20:33,074
I'm not seeing any critters in the bed.

369
00:20:34,250 --> 00:20:36,676
Or on us.

370
00:20:36,701 --> 00:20:38,490
Hey.

371
00:20:38,515 --> 00:20:42,929
I was having a nightmare about spiders.

372
00:20:42,954 --> 00:20:46,585
And then it felt like the
spiders were biting me.

373
00:20:46,610 --> 00:20:48,935
Okay, well that's what it is.

374
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,502
You're just having a dream.

375
00:20:50,527 --> 00:20:53,548
There's no spiders.
These sheets are fresh.

376
00:20:53,573 --> 00:20:55,507
I just got them brand new.

377
00:20:55,532 --> 00:20:57,749
You're okay. You're okay.

378
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,535
Come here.

379
00:21:07,587 --> 00:21:09,886
Jug, don't think I'm crazy,
but can you check out...

380
00:21:10,938 --> 00:21:13,394
My God! Your back.

381
00:21:13,419 --> 00:21:15,570
Your back is covered in welts, bites.

382
00:21:15,595 --> 00:21:17,964
Same as my arms and legs.

383
00:21:17,989 --> 00:21:20,184
I was literally just about
to ask you to check them out.

384
00:21:20,209 --> 00:21:23,361
I told you we were being eaten
alive, probably by bedbugs.

385
00:21:23,386 --> 00:21:25,580
- Well, we checked the sheets...
- Okay, well, then it's scabies,

386
00:21:25,605 --> 00:21:26,929
which you can't see with the naked eye,

387
00:21:26,954 --> 00:21:28,670
but they are vicious blood suckers.

388
00:21:28,695 --> 00:21:30,803
Okay, we'll wash the sheets
with hot water and bleach.

389
00:21:30,828 --> 00:21:32,674
Are you kidding? That's
not gonna do anything.

390
00:21:32,699 --> 00:21:33,849
We're infested.

391
00:21:33,874 --> 00:21:35,764
I'm calling an exterminator.

392
00:21:42,162 --> 00:21:44,183
All right. It's time
for arts and crafts.

393
00:21:44,208 --> 00:21:47,211
Take some twine and fabric from
the basket and pass it along.

394
00:21:47,236 --> 00:21:50,214
Today we are making poppets
to honor the Maple Maiden.

395
00:21:50,239 --> 00:21:51,911
Are the poppets to play with?

396
00:21:51,936 --> 00:21:54,174
No, Britta. They serve
a myriad of purposes,

397
00:21:54,199 --> 00:21:57,333
but these ones will be a warning.

398
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:07,675
What in the hell?

399
00:22:10,606 --> 00:22:13,731
This is Cheryl, 101. It's got to be.

400
00:22:13,756 --> 00:22:16,145
Let's dig these things out
and make room for the saplings.

401
00:22:16,170 --> 00:22:17,676
You sure you want to do that, Arch?

402
00:22:17,701 --> 00:22:19,026
Positive.

403
00:22:19,703 --> 00:22:20,878
Double time, boys.

404
00:22:28,690 --> 00:22:29,887
Hey.

405
00:22:31,062 --> 00:22:32,237
How'd the planting go?

406
00:22:33,925 --> 00:22:35,240
I know that look.

407
00:22:36,415 --> 00:22:37,737
What's wrong?

408
00:22:40,201 --> 00:22:41,830
Cheryl.

409
00:22:41,855 --> 00:22:45,573
She impaled these dolls
all over the forest

410
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:47,296
where we were going
to plant our saplings.

411
00:22:48,340 --> 00:22:49,950
She did? Why?

412
00:22:51,387 --> 00:22:54,147
To spook my crew.

413
00:22:54,172 --> 00:22:57,498
Which she did, by the way.
They were anxious all day long.

414
00:22:57,523 --> 00:22:58,978
That's so bizarre.

415
00:22:59,003 --> 00:23:01,502
I feel like I've seen

416
00:23:01,527 --> 00:23:03,262
- one of these before.
- Where?

417
00:23:03,287 --> 00:23:06,202
I've been sorting through old
evidence boxes at the FBI office,

418
00:23:06,227 --> 00:23:10,119
and I feel like there was a cold
case with totems like this one.

419
00:23:10,144 --> 00:23:11,295
Can I borrow this?

420
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,161
- Knock yourself out.
- Okay.

421
00:23:13,186 --> 00:23:14,308
See you later.

422
00:23:21,895 --> 00:23:24,482
Well, Reginald, what do you think?

423
00:23:24,507 --> 00:23:27,074
These are the finalized
blueprints for our casino.

424
00:23:28,075 --> 00:23:29,704
Exquisite, no?

425
00:23:29,729 --> 00:23:31,750
And the best part is

426
00:23:31,775 --> 00:23:34,908
you and I are going to christen
every square inch of this place.

427
00:23:40,305 --> 00:23:41,803
Well, that's a first.

428
00:23:41,828 --> 00:23:43,283
Question for you, Ronnie.

429
00:23:43,308 --> 00:23:46,374
If the casino was my idea, which it was,

430
00:23:46,399 --> 00:23:48,082
and we'd be equal partners,

431
00:23:48,107 --> 00:23:51,058
then how come you forgot
to give me an office?

432
00:23:53,579 --> 00:23:54,909
Shoot.

433
00:23:55,842 --> 00:23:58,254
That's a good question...

434
00:23:58,279 --> 00:24:00,431
You know, let me just call the architect

435
00:24:00,456 --> 00:24:03,216
and I'll have them redraw the
plans. It won't be an issue.

436
00:24:03,241 --> 00:24:05,131
Too late.

437
00:24:05,156 --> 00:24:07,201
A picture's worth a
thousand words, Ronnie.

438
00:24:17,386 --> 00:24:19,624
- Kev, what's up?
- I came back to the forest

439
00:24:19,649 --> 00:24:21,669
because I forgot my
shovel and the saplings...

440
00:24:21,694 --> 00:24:24,019
- Archie...
- What about them?

441
00:24:24,044 --> 00:24:25,978
Someone ripped them
out of the ground.

442
00:24:26,003 --> 00:24:27,308
They're all destroyed.

443
00:24:30,877 --> 00:24:32,681
What do you think you're doing, Cheryl?

444
00:24:32,706 --> 00:24:33,732
Archie, calm down.

445
00:24:33,757 --> 00:24:35,918
I know you and your girls left
those dolls for us to find.

446
00:24:35,943 --> 00:24:39,121
- And did you rip up our saplings too?
- Why would I,

447
00:24:39,146 --> 00:24:42,995
keeper of the Maple Flame, murder
innocent, nascent maple saplings?

448
00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:45,650
Because you can't stand the fact
there might one day be a time

449
00:24:45,675 --> 00:24:48,700
when Rivervale isn't dependent
on your family for maple syrup.

450
00:24:48,725 --> 00:24:49,828
You're out of line, Archie.

451
00:24:49,853 --> 00:24:51,161
If I may enlighten you,

452
00:24:51,186 --> 00:24:54,441
I requested this audience of the
four to offer an olive branch,

453
00:24:54,466 --> 00:24:57,923
specifically to invite the entire
town of Rivervale to Thornhill

454
00:24:57,948 --> 00:25:00,316
for a good old-fashioned maple festival.

455
00:25:00,341 --> 00:25:03,581
And just so you know,
Archie, we, the council

456
00:25:03,606 --> 00:25:08,020
have accepted Cheryl's invitation
on behalf of the entire town.

457
00:25:08,045 --> 00:25:09,612
We'll all be there.

458
00:25:40,730 --> 00:25:41,964
RB.

459
00:25:46,475 --> 00:25:47,995
Rose Blossom.

460
00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:56,634
Cousin.

461
00:25:56,659 --> 00:25:58,853
How for did you get into my house?

462
00:25:58,878 --> 00:26:00,551
A bobby pin.

463
00:26:00,576 --> 00:26:02,683
But I'm actually here
on official FBI business

464
00:26:02,708 --> 00:26:05,512
regarding that deer
you killed in the woods.

465
00:26:05,537 --> 00:26:08,689
Really, you and Archie are
just too much. I mean, I get it.

466
00:26:08,714 --> 00:26:10,051
I'd be obsessed with me too.

467
00:26:10,076 --> 00:26:12,606
But what makes you think I had
a hand in that dreadful business?

468
00:26:12,631 --> 00:26:14,371
So, let me put it this way.

469
00:26:14,396 --> 00:26:18,656
That deer was not the first blood
sacrifice on Thornhill's grounds

470
00:26:18,681 --> 00:26:23,182
because 50 years ago, a drifter
was murdered on your property.

471
00:26:23,207 --> 00:26:26,359
Heart ripped out and poppet
shoved down their throat.

472
00:26:26,384 --> 00:26:28,528
What do you want, Betty?

473
00:26:28,553 --> 00:26:30,363
Because I have a maple
harvest festival to plan.

474
00:26:30,388 --> 00:26:31,886
So can we cut to the heart of it?

475
00:26:33,826 --> 00:26:36,891
You really didn't have
to walk me home, Frank.

476
00:26:36,916 --> 00:26:39,353
I was hoping that maybe we could talk.

477
00:26:42,443 --> 00:26:44,290
What is there left to say?

478
00:26:44,315 --> 00:26:46,466
How about...

479
00:26:46,491 --> 00:26:48,578
you're not the problem, Alice, I am.

480
00:26:51,757 --> 00:26:53,908
Years ago,

481
00:26:53,933 --> 00:26:56,095
when I was a mercenary, I was married.

482
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,305
No one knew.

483
00:26:59,330 --> 00:27:02,134
Not even Fred or Archie.

484
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:03,811
Because if anyone found out, it would

485
00:27:03,836 --> 00:27:05,510
put my wife and my daughter at risk.

486
00:27:07,686 --> 00:27:09,166
And then, of course...

487
00:27:11,429 --> 00:27:14,276
My wife and my daughter ended up...

488
00:27:14,301 --> 00:27:16,409
I'm so sorry, Frank.

489
00:27:16,434 --> 00:27:18,629
Alice.

490
00:27:18,654 --> 00:27:21,091
I want to open myself up
to those feelings again.

491
00:27:23,746 --> 00:27:25,146
I just don't know if I'm ready yet.

492
00:27:26,011 --> 00:27:27,159
And I'm sorry.

493
00:27:27,184 --> 00:27:28,371
That's okay, Frank.

494
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,232
I understand.

495
00:27:33,930 --> 00:27:35,183
But maybe...

496
00:27:36,759 --> 00:27:39,277
Maybe we can go to the
maple festival together.

497
00:27:40,414 --> 00:27:41,590
Maybe that'll be okay.

498
00:27:51,556 --> 00:27:54,012
Here you are. Straight off the griddle.

499
00:27:54,037 --> 00:27:55,666
Delicious, fluffy pancakes to go.

500
00:27:55,691 --> 00:27:56,811
Just what I needed

501
00:27:56,836 --> 00:28:00,148
for my festival's pancake eating contest.

502
00:28:00,173 --> 00:28:02,480
But what are these welts on your arm?

503
00:28:03,568 --> 00:28:05,396
And sleepless eyes to boot?

504
00:28:07,180 --> 00:28:10,575
Tell me, what demons
torment you, Tabitha?

505
00:28:12,533 --> 00:28:14,946
Turns out our apartment
is riddled with bugs

506
00:28:14,971 --> 00:28:16,774
and Jughead and I are being eaten alive

507
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:18,386
and we can't afford to move.

508
00:28:18,411 --> 00:28:21,474
And even if we could, I mean, who's
to say the bugs won't follow us,

509
00:28:21,499 --> 00:28:23,258
now that they're
literally in everything?

510
00:28:23,283 --> 00:28:24,520
Tabitha,

511
00:28:24,545 --> 00:28:26,827
methinks I can help

512
00:28:26,852 --> 00:28:29,090
with an ancient cleansing
formula I could prepare for you

513
00:28:29,115 --> 00:28:31,832
that will take care of any and all bugs

514
00:28:31,857 --> 00:28:34,008
and curses.

515
00:28:34,033 --> 00:28:37,490
But said formula does come with a price.

516
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:39,405
What doesn't? I'll pay anything.

517
00:28:39,430 --> 00:28:42,190
If that's true, I'm going to
need your full participation

518
00:28:42,215 --> 00:28:44,715
in all my maple festival's events.

519
00:28:44,740 --> 00:28:46,281
But not just yours.

520
00:28:46,306 --> 00:28:47,989
Jughead's too.

521
00:28:48,014 --> 00:28:50,546
If we want our collective fortunes
to turn around for the better,

522
00:28:50,571 --> 00:28:52,878
we all need to be united on this.

523
00:28:56,186 --> 00:28:58,946
Pay close attention, girls,
for this is a special confection

524
00:28:58,971 --> 00:29:01,209
based on an old family recipe.

525
00:29:01,234 --> 00:29:04,343
Back in the early days, the village
priestess used to bake a sin pie.

526
00:29:04,368 --> 00:29:06,737
It was meant to contain
the sins of the entire town,

527
00:29:06,762 --> 00:29:09,827
and once it was consumed,
the sins would be absolved

528
00:29:09,852 --> 00:29:12,090
and the town and her folk would prosper.

529
00:29:12,115 --> 00:29:13,787
Consumed?

530
00:29:13,812 --> 00:29:17,225
- By who?
- Someone chosen.

531
00:29:17,250 --> 00:29:18,923
Someone special and strong enough

532
00:29:18,948 --> 00:29:23,144
to shoulder the weight of
the sins of an entire town.

533
00:29:23,169 --> 00:29:25,384
So I was at the FBI office researching

534
00:29:25,409 --> 00:29:27,845
this poppet doll that you gave me.

535
00:29:27,870 --> 00:29:30,891
And then I paid Cheryl a visit, and
she is definitely up to something.

536
00:29:30,916 --> 00:29:32,676
I just don't know what.

537
00:29:32,701 --> 00:29:34,068
Well, I'll tell you.

538
00:29:34,093 --> 00:29:35,775
For starters,

539
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,205
she invited the whole town to a
maple harvest festival at Thornhill.

540
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:42,860
And, shockingly, everyone wants to go.

541
00:29:42,885 --> 00:29:45,166
I don't get it, Betty. Is
the world crazy or am I?

542
00:29:45,191 --> 00:29:47,125
No, you're not.

543
00:29:47,150 --> 00:29:49,736
Something evil is definitely
happening at Thornhill,

544
00:29:49,761 --> 00:29:53,261
with that deer sacrifice,
these little pagan dolls

545
00:29:53,286 --> 00:29:54,915
and maybe even a cold case murder.

546
00:29:54,940 --> 00:29:56,569
But when I tried to
confront Cheryl about it,

547
00:29:56,594 --> 00:29:58,789
she gave me the total runaround.

548
00:29:58,814 --> 00:30:01,530
- But she's planning something.
- Thank you.

549
00:30:01,555 --> 00:30:04,359
That is why the festival
is a hard pass for me.

550
00:30:04,384 --> 00:30:06,775
We're going, because while Cheryl

551
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,190
is outside playing hostess of the year,

552
00:30:09,215 --> 00:30:12,498
I'll be inside Thornhill doing
some good old-fashioned snooping.

553
00:30:12,523 --> 00:30:14,805
And then we can finally get to
the bottom of what's happening

554
00:30:14,830 --> 00:30:17,267
in that pastoral house of horrors.

555
00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:28,470
Hey, get away from me.

556
00:30:28,495 --> 00:30:29,626
Hey, guys.

557
00:30:30,446 --> 00:30:32,300
Hey, Fangs, Toni.

558
00:30:32,325 --> 00:30:34,520
How is this little cutie patootie doing?

559
00:30:34,545 --> 00:30:39,090
A lot better, actually. He's had
colic, but it's cleared up.

560
00:30:39,115 --> 00:30:41,117
That's good. Did you guys
get help from Doc Curdle?

561
00:30:42,248 --> 00:30:45,836
We found our own remedy.

562
00:30:45,861 --> 00:30:48,403
Anyway, we're going
to go milk the goat.

563
00:30:48,428 --> 00:30:50,231
But it was so nice seeing you guys.

564
00:30:50,256 --> 00:30:52,561
- Yeah, you too.
- Good luck today, Archie.

565
00:30:54,565 --> 00:30:57,543
Good luck? What does that mean?

566
00:30:57,568 --> 00:30:59,763
Who knows? But seeing
Baby Anthony just makes me

567
00:30:59,788 --> 00:31:02,678
that much more excited
to make one of our own.

568
00:31:02,703 --> 00:31:05,464
I see you and Reggie arrived together.

569
00:31:05,489 --> 00:31:07,509
So which ship name do you prefer?

570
00:31:07,534 --> 00:31:09,125
Veggie? Veginald?

571
00:31:09,150 --> 00:31:11,383
I would hold off on trademarking
either of those, Cheryl.

572
00:31:11,408 --> 00:31:12,500
What?

573
00:31:12,525 --> 00:31:14,212
No, don't tell me
something already happened.

574
00:31:14,237 --> 00:31:17,519
No, no, we haven't broken up... yet.

575
00:31:17,544 --> 00:31:21,262
But all of his old insecurities
started rearing their ugly heads again.

576
00:31:21,287 --> 00:31:22,952
Pretty soon he'll be comparing himself

577
00:31:22,977 --> 00:31:25,441
to Archie, despite all my reassurances.

578
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,351
If you want to make it
crystal clear to Reginald

579
00:31:27,376 --> 00:31:31,490
that you're no longer carrying a
torch for your ex, I may have an idea.

580
00:31:32,943 --> 00:31:34,232
Hey, Archie.

581
00:31:34,257 --> 00:31:35,757
Hey, I need you.

582
00:31:35,782 --> 00:31:38,323
Tabitha has been flipping
flapjacks for, like, 18 hours.

583
00:31:38,348 --> 00:31:39,803
And now no one wants to go against me

584
00:31:39,828 --> 00:31:41,428
in the pancake eating competition, so...

585
00:31:42,656 --> 00:31:44,416
Well, come on. Starts
in, like, five minutes.

586
00:31:46,615 --> 00:31:49,508
No, this is good. If you're competing,
then all eyes will be on you,

587
00:31:49,533 --> 00:31:51,413
including Cheryl's.

588
00:31:51,438 --> 00:31:53,338
I'm going to sneak off
and do some sleuthing

589
00:31:53,363 --> 00:31:55,263
while you keep Cheryl distracted.

590
00:32:06,506 --> 00:32:07,986
And... time!

591
00:32:10,108 --> 00:32:11,460
What's the final count?

592
00:32:11,485 --> 00:32:15,817
Right, by my tally,
Jughead Jones, 116 pancakes!

593
00:32:19,389 --> 00:32:20,781
Whoo!

594
00:32:22,598 --> 00:32:25,958
And Archie Andrews, 119!

595
00:32:27,165 --> 00:32:28,872
We have a winner.

596
00:32:33,805 --> 00:32:35,162
You're like a brother to me.

597
00:32:36,529 --> 00:32:37,755
I love you.

598
00:32:39,074 --> 00:32:40,326
You know that, right?

599
00:32:41,367 --> 00:32:42,891
Yeah. I love you back, Jug.

600
00:32:52,609 --> 00:32:55,545
Cheryl, you actually
think it's possible?

601
00:32:55,570 --> 00:32:58,897
If you two want a path forward
together, unencumbered by the past,

602
00:32:58,922 --> 00:33:00,813
then, yes,

603
00:33:00,838 --> 00:33:02,685
I believe this is the way.

604
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:04,564
Perhaps the only way.

605
00:33:06,958 --> 00:33:08,697
Ah, perfection.

606
00:33:09,704 --> 00:33:11,656
Just in time for our next challenge.

607
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:27,979
Let's go!

608
00:33:41,260 --> 00:33:43,480
And the winner is Archie Andrews!

609
00:33:46,653 --> 00:33:48,022
Hey.

610
00:33:48,047 --> 00:33:49,433
What the hell was that?

611
00:33:49,458 --> 00:33:52,109
Me losing to Archie, again.

612
00:33:52,134 --> 00:33:54,024
You were supposed to lose.

613
00:33:54,049 --> 00:33:55,632
But, after tonight,

614
00:33:55,657 --> 00:33:57,366
you won't have to worry about playing

615
00:33:57,391 --> 00:33:59,624
second fiddle to Archie ever again.

616
00:33:59,649 --> 00:34:00,751
Okay?

617
00:34:02,492 --> 00:34:03,890
I promise.

618
00:34:03,915 --> 00:34:07,397
Well, according to my sundial,
it's time for sudden death.

619
00:34:07,422 --> 00:34:10,214
Who here is brave enough
to challenge Archie Andrews

620
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,260
for the crown of Maple
King or Maple Queen?

621
00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:14,460
I am.

622
00:34:22,076 --> 00:34:24,402
J'adorea good plot twist.

623
00:34:24,427 --> 00:34:26,538
Step right up, cousin.

624
00:34:26,563 --> 00:34:31,191
Fittingly, it all comes down
to the most primal of conflicts.

625
00:34:31,216 --> 00:34:35,674
Man versus woman, the all-American
boy versus the girl next door.

626
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:37,005
I'm giving myself chills.

627
00:34:40,755 --> 00:34:41,776
Hi.

628
00:34:41,801 --> 00:34:44,671
- I thought you were sleuthing.
- Yeah, I was. And I found something big.

629
00:34:44,696 --> 00:34:46,590
I'll tell you about it when we get out.

630
00:34:49,365 --> 00:34:51,907
All right. The rules are simple.

631
00:34:51,932 --> 00:34:54,823
You each get one throw. Closest
to the bull's-eye wins it all.

632
00:34:54,848 --> 00:34:56,912
The title, the crown, everything.

633
00:34:56,937 --> 00:34:59,915
Wait, wait, I thought I
won the last two rounds.

634
00:34:59,940 --> 00:35:02,527
Don't question my authority, Archie.

635
00:35:02,552 --> 00:35:04,138
For that, you're up first.

636
00:35:21,266 --> 00:35:22,826
Feel free to bow out now, Betty.

637
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,006
Oh, my God!

638
00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:35,864
I give you our Maple Harvest Queen.

639
00:35:40,677 --> 00:35:42,610
And for our runner-up... a pie.

640
00:35:50,740 --> 00:35:53,257
Wait, you didn't tell me. What
did you find out at Thornhill?

641
00:35:53,282 --> 00:35:55,841
There's some definite
weirdness going on there.

642
00:35:55,866 --> 00:35:57,451
Like those poppets?

643
00:35:57,476 --> 00:36:00,324
They're actually fertility dolls.

644
00:36:00,349 --> 00:36:02,107
What? Really?

645
00:36:03,259 --> 00:36:04,976
So, why don't we put this little sucker

646
00:36:05,001 --> 00:36:07,919
under our mattress tonight
and try to make a baby.

647
00:36:08,862 --> 00:36:10,883
After you have some pie.

648
00:36:10,908 --> 00:36:12,568
Can we skip the pie?

649
00:36:15,325 --> 00:36:16,807
No.

650
00:36:18,595 --> 00:36:21,676
My Maple King is going to need
all of the energy he can muster up

651
00:36:21,701 --> 00:36:23,111
for what I have planned.

652
00:36:29,746 --> 00:36:31,201
Well, when you put it like that.

653
00:37:17,208 --> 00:37:19,707
- Betty?
- Archie, it's me. They, they have Betty.

654
00:37:19,732 --> 00:37:20,820
Kevin?

655
00:37:22,923 --> 00:37:25,379
Kevin, what do you mean,
"They have Betty?" Who's they?

656
00:37:25,404 --> 00:37:28,179
Cheryl, some of the others, they're,
they're performing some kind of

657
00:37:28,204 --> 00:37:31,135
crazy maple ritual at
Thornhill. You need to hurry.

658
00:37:49,029 --> 00:37:50,154
Stop!

659
00:37:51,838 --> 00:37:52,859
Don't hurt her.

660
00:37:52,884 --> 00:37:54,862
Archie, welcome.

661
00:37:54,887 --> 00:37:56,465
We've been expecting you.

662
00:38:00,993 --> 00:38:02,583
- What is this?
- A ritual.

663
00:38:04,299 --> 00:38:08,191
For me and for all of us here,

664
00:38:08,216 --> 00:38:11,163
something has been
made abundantly clear.

665
00:38:11,188 --> 00:38:15,328
If we want our maple
trees to thrive again,

666
00:38:15,353 --> 00:38:18,791
if we want Rivervale to have a
bountiful year in all respects,

667
00:38:20,184 --> 00:38:22,074
a sacrifice has to be made.

668
00:38:22,099 --> 00:38:26,644
But the right kind of sacrifice.

669
00:38:26,669 --> 00:38:30,007
Cheryl, this is insane. I
won't let you sacrifice Betty.

670
00:38:30,032 --> 00:38:31,282
Archie.

671
00:38:32,589 --> 00:38:34,732
Something amazing happened.

672
00:38:36,349 --> 00:38:37,723
I'm with child.

673
00:38:39,154 --> 00:38:41,336
Earlier tonight we conceived.

674
00:38:42,424 --> 00:38:44,227
A baby, a son.

675
00:38:44,252 --> 00:38:46,794
I know it, I can feel it in my bones.

676
00:38:46,819 --> 00:38:48,427
It's what I've always wanted.

677
00:38:49,705 --> 00:38:52,336
And in 25 years, he'll
be crowned the Maple King

678
00:38:52,361 --> 00:38:53,904
just like his father.

679
00:38:53,929 --> 00:38:55,169
Betty...

680
00:38:57,047 --> 00:38:58,719
what are you saying?

681
00:38:58,744 --> 00:39:03,985
What she's saying is that
women can't be sacrifices.

682
00:39:04,010 --> 00:39:07,032
Women must bear children.

683
00:39:07,057 --> 00:39:08,406
But men...

684
00:39:09,928 --> 00:39:11,950
Their blood is the seed.

685
00:39:11,975 --> 00:39:15,301
Their blood is what nourishes
the ground and the furrows.

686
00:39:15,326 --> 00:39:18,966
Their blood is what will bring
Rivervale back to its glory.

687
00:39:21,334 --> 00:39:23,440
And the most potent kind
of blood is that of a...

688
00:39:23,465 --> 00:39:24,814
Cheryl, I'm not a virgin.

689
00:39:26,424 --> 00:39:29,272
No, you're certainly not.

690
00:39:29,297 --> 00:39:35,016
But you have the distinction of
being our town's one true, pure heart.

691
00:39:35,041 --> 00:39:39,742
We needed a king who was
willing to die for his queen.

692
00:39:41,134 --> 00:39:42,824
Only he would be worthy.

693
00:39:42,849 --> 00:39:44,312
Jug.

694
00:39:52,307 --> 00:39:55,286
Uncle Frank, you're in on this too?

695
00:39:55,311 --> 00:39:57,054
Archie, you spent your entire life

696
00:39:57,079 --> 00:39:59,302
trying to preserve and save this town.

697
00:39:59,327 --> 00:40:02,130
Tonight you will succeed
in doing exactly that.

698
00:40:02,155 --> 00:40:04,927
- You will be a martyr to your cause.
- But...

699
00:40:24,374 --> 00:40:25,438
Betty.

700
00:40:25,463 --> 00:40:27,044
He's awake, Cheryl, do it now.

701
00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:42,432
She who walks amongst the trees,

702
00:40:42,457 --> 00:40:45,155
accept our sacrifice and be appeased.

703
00:41:20,173 --> 00:41:24,675
So ends the heroic
life of Archie Andrews.

704
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:28,767
Born 25 years ago in the
sleepy town of Riverdale,

705
00:41:28,792 --> 00:41:31,074
died tonight,

706
00:41:31,099 --> 00:41:33,576
in its shadow town, Rivervale.

707
00:41:35,846 --> 00:41:37,808
Now, I hope you've been
enjoying your visit so far

708
00:41:37,833 --> 00:41:39,701
because no one is going anywhere.

709
00:41:40,615 --> 00:41:42,872
We're just getting started.
