1
00:00:01,206 --> 00:00:02,309
Wait.

2
00:00:02,539 --> 00:00:05,716
So someone just submitted this to you?

3
00:00:05,742 --> 00:00:07,702
Yeah, to my Riverdale Choice email.

4
00:00:10,141 --> 00:00:12,518
In case you're wondering if
I can suddenly hear again,

5
00:00:12,572 --> 00:00:14,597
I can't. What I can do

6
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:17,125
post-explosion is read minds.

7
00:00:17,151 --> 00:00:20,905
I can hear the words forming in a person's
brain just before they speak them.

8
00:00:20,931 --> 00:00:24,299
It's, slightly disorienting.

9
00:00:25,558 --> 00:00:26,805
I mean, everyone is entitled...

10
00:00:26,831 --> 00:00:31,276
I mean, everyone is entitled to
their own opinion, but yikes.

11
00:00:31,638 --> 00:00:32,897
I know.

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,036
That's why I published it
anonymously, to protect our identity,

13
00:00:36,077 --> 00:00:37,867
which they asked me to.

14
00:00:40,270 --> 00:00:43,126
Tabitha and my friends think
my hearing's returned.

15
00:00:43,168 --> 00:00:46,020
It's not impossible to believe,
the doctor said it might.

16
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:48,755
Am I a bad person for lying
to her, to everyone?

17
00:00:48,781 --> 00:00:50,325
I don't know, Jughead.

18
00:00:50,351 --> 00:00:52,947
What will the town think?

19
00:00:53,203 --> 00:00:54,653
What will they do?

20
00:00:55,735 --> 00:00:58,321
That is a great question.

21
00:00:58,482 --> 00:01:00,537
- _
- Already I could feel shock waves

22
00:01:00,563 --> 00:01:02,449
rippling across the town.

23
00:01:02,475 --> 00:01:05,190
The article was a blistering
critique of Riverdale.

24
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,671
What the town presented as
versus what it truly was.

25
00:01:08,697 --> 00:01:11,529
It excoriated Veronica
and Reggie's Casino,

26
00:01:11,571 --> 00:01:12,906
calling it illegal,

27
00:01:12,932 --> 00:01:17,148
claiming it would be a gateway
to crime, drug use and violence.

28
00:01:17,251 --> 00:01:20,438
It condemned Riverdale's
culture of street gangs.

29
00:01:20,464 --> 00:01:24,386
The Serpents and Ghoulies forever
teetering on the brink of war.

30
00:01:24,967 --> 00:01:28,171
It called out the town's long
history of intolerance, ignorance,

31
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:30,423
persecution and backwards thinking.

32
00:01:30,465 --> 00:01:34,094
It highlighted our overtaxed,
ineffectual law enforcement,

33
00:01:34,135 --> 00:01:36,971
our utter lack of culture
and the performing arts.

34
00:01:37,013 --> 00:01:38,928
But its most scathing critique took aim

35
00:01:38,954 --> 00:01:40,850
at Riverdale's struggling economy,

36
00:01:40,892 --> 00:01:43,007
soaring unemployment and quote,

37
00:01:43,033 --> 00:01:45,591
"Homeless encampments on every corner."

38
00:01:45,624 --> 00:01:47,766
Still happy you moved here, stranger?

39
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:50,341
Yes.

40
00:01:51,219 --> 00:01:52,956
Happy as a clam.

41
00:01:53,011 --> 00:01:54,729
Every word was a razor blade

42
00:01:54,755 --> 00:01:57,453
that cut to the very heart
of Riverdale itself.

43
00:01:57,479 --> 00:01:59,663
With no author named,

44
00:01:59,697 --> 00:02:02,436
who would take the brunt
of blowback, but...

45
00:02:02,462 --> 00:02:05,199
- I can't believe Jug would do this.
- Here we go.

46
00:02:05,225 --> 00:02:07,553
- Backstabber.
- Dude, what is this?

47
00:02:08,235 --> 00:02:10,372
"Worst town in America."

48
00:02:10,912 --> 00:02:12,295
Seriously?

49
00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:15,567
After we busted our asses
saving Riverdale from Hiram,

50
00:02:15,593 --> 00:02:17,450
why would you publish
something like this?

51
00:02:17,476 --> 00:02:20,807
The Riverdale Choice is a
free press that believes

52
00:02:20,849 --> 00:02:23,101
- in critical points of view.
- Who?

53
00:02:23,530 --> 00:02:25,824
- Who wrote this?
- Why would I tell you that?

54
00:02:25,850 --> 00:02:28,411
- So you can beat them up?
- Yeah, you're freaking right.

55
00:02:28,437 --> 00:02:29,735
Of course not.

56
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:34,049
Okay, Look, you have a different
point of view. That's great.

57
00:02:34,075 --> 00:02:35,947
Let me interview you. I'll
publish it next week.

58
00:02:35,973 --> 00:02:39,038
No, screw that. I've already
talked to Alice and Frank.

59
00:02:39,064 --> 00:02:40,852
They're calling a town
hall meeting so everyone

60
00:02:40,878 --> 00:02:43,217
can respond to this garbage in person.

61
00:02:44,725 --> 00:02:46,490
And you better be there covering it.

62
00:02:49,853 --> 00:02:51,647
Grand Mistress Rose.

63
00:02:51,673 --> 00:02:53,299
I shouldn't be here,

64
00:02:53,325 --> 00:02:56,820
but Mistress Abigail is
getting ready to go out and

65
00:02:57,180 --> 00:03:00,242
we have to figure out a way
to get Mistress Cheryl back.

66
00:03:00,268 --> 00:03:02,373
Cheryl is gone.

67
00:03:02,528 --> 00:03:04,475
Vanished into the void.

68
00:03:04,501 --> 00:03:05,684
No,

69
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:08,673
I saw her in a mirror that
Abigail was looking into.

70
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,486
I think she's still in her body,

71
00:03:12,699 --> 00:03:13,970
somewhere.

72
00:03:13,996 --> 00:03:16,641
Well, if that were the
case, it would mean

73
00:03:16,714 --> 00:03:19,899
Abigail's keeping her locked away,

74
00:03:20,579 --> 00:03:22,790
imprisoned in a kind of

75
00:03:22,933 --> 00:03:25,686
- mental jail.
- Oh, my God.

76
00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:29,500
Is there some way that
we can reach Cheryl?

77
00:03:29,542 --> 00:03:31,053
Make contact with her.

78
00:03:31,079 --> 00:03:33,605
Well, the only way to do that would be

79
00:03:34,037 --> 00:03:35,821
when Abigail

80
00:03:35,981 --> 00:03:38,298
is in a deep sleep,

81
00:03:38,537 --> 00:03:43,248
and you would need to be in
a deep slumber near to her.

82
00:03:43,731 --> 00:03:47,230
I mean, Abigail once
inhabited your body.

83
00:03:47,412 --> 00:03:49,646
You could use that tether

84
00:03:49,687 --> 00:03:53,086
to enter and walk her dreamscape.

85
00:03:53,247 --> 00:03:54,577
And perhaps

86
00:03:54,953 --> 00:03:56,420
find Cheryl.

87
00:03:56,843 --> 00:03:58,230
If she exists.

88
00:03:58,873 --> 00:04:00,416
I could drug her tea.

89
00:04:00,554 --> 00:04:01,999
Be warned.

90
00:04:02,601 --> 00:04:04,969
If you try this,

91
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:09,912
you must awaken before Abigail does.

92
00:04:10,038 --> 00:04:14,694
Or risk her wrath.

93
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:19,057
Jason.

94
00:04:19,183 --> 00:04:20,513
Cheryl.

95
00:04:21,204 --> 00:04:23,069
My little darlings.

96
00:04:23,323 --> 00:04:27,162
I have decided to throw
you a birthday party.

97
00:04:27,188 --> 00:04:28,731
Isn't that grand?

98
00:04:28,893 --> 00:04:31,271
I've even invited all
your little friends

99
00:04:31,312 --> 00:04:33,795
from school and church
and the community.

100
00:04:33,821 --> 00:04:34,830
Including Heather?

101
00:04:34,856 --> 00:04:37,972
No, not that two-bit trollop.

102
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:39,920
But everybody else.

103
00:04:40,009 --> 00:04:42,988
Now, what do you say?

104
00:04:43,153 --> 00:04:44,821
Thank you, dearest Mumsy.

105
00:04:44,847 --> 00:04:48,985
You're very, very welcome,
my precious little angels.

106
00:05:02,794 --> 00:05:04,804
Who wrote the article? Probably Alice.

107
00:05:04,846 --> 00:05:06,526
This town is going to
hell in a handbasket.

108
00:05:06,552 --> 00:05:08,457
- Maybe, I should move.
- All right. All right.

109
00:05:08,483 --> 00:05:11,315
I'm sure everyone has read the article

110
00:05:11,341 --> 00:05:13,662
written by our mysterious author.

111
00:05:13,688 --> 00:05:15,940
And, yes, there is a lot to dispute.

112
00:05:15,982 --> 00:05:19,652
But not the fact that we
do have an illegal casino

113
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:22,989
operating covertly and corruptly
within our town limits.

114
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,647
If I may.

115
00:05:24,735 --> 00:05:28,870
Babylonium's employees are
all citizens of Riverdale

116
00:05:28,911 --> 00:05:31,528
who are paid a generous living wage.

117
00:05:31,554 --> 00:05:35,445
Also, we have the potential
to bring in out-of-towners.

118
00:05:35,496 --> 00:05:37,540
Guests who would spend

119
00:05:37,566 --> 00:05:40,077
fresh cash across all of our businesses.

120
00:05:40,103 --> 00:05:44,385
Nice try, Veronica, but we all know
who truly profits from a casino.

121
00:05:44,427 --> 00:05:45,887
It's its owners.

122
00:05:45,928 --> 00:05:49,897
And I mean, when is the last time a Lodge
has done anything good for this town?

123
00:05:50,231 --> 00:05:53,987
- What the hell does that mean?
- I think you know exactly what that means.

124
00:05:57,174 --> 00:05:59,150
Can we cut to the damn chase here?

125
00:05:59,925 --> 00:06:01,488
Who wrote that article?

126
00:06:02,031 --> 00:06:03,378
Come on.

127
00:06:04,473 --> 00:06:06,574
Whoever it is, if you're
going to attack our town,

128
00:06:06,616 --> 00:06:08,076
at least have the guts to own it.

129
00:06:08,117 --> 00:06:09,369
It was me.

130
00:06:09,395 --> 00:06:11,658
I wrote it. I wrote the article.

131
00:06:11,828 --> 00:06:15,215
I know I should have had the
courage to put my name on it.

132
00:06:15,241 --> 00:06:19,905
I guess I was just concerned that if you
saw the name Pickens on the byline, then,

133
00:06:20,129 --> 00:06:22,064
you'd dismiss my words out of hand

134
00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:24,467
because of what my
great-great grandfather did.

135
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:27,136
You mean a genocide
against my ancestors?

136
00:06:27,178 --> 00:06:29,755
Yeah, that's a strike against you.

137
00:06:30,155 --> 00:06:32,558
I'm sorry, you've been living
here, what, four days?

138
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,483
And we're supposed to
care what you think?

139
00:06:34,509 --> 00:06:36,813
Sometimes it takes a recent arrival

140
00:06:36,854 --> 00:06:38,648
to see what's really
wrong with the town.

141
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:40,236
Yeah, well, all I see,

142
00:06:40,262 --> 00:06:43,027
is a Johnny-come-lately
talking trash about our town

143
00:06:43,053 --> 00:06:44,898
without offering any real solutions.

144
00:06:44,924 --> 00:06:46,567
But I do have solutions.

145
00:06:46,731 --> 00:06:48,242
If you're open to hearing them.

146
00:06:48,268 --> 00:06:49,700
Buddy, I'm open

147
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:51,835
to resolving this outside,
You and me, right now.

148
00:06:51,861 --> 00:06:53,305
Okay, Archie.

149
00:06:54,076 --> 00:06:56,809
We do need to let Mr. Pickens speak.

150
00:06:56,935 --> 00:06:58,723
With a town that's

151
00:06:59,057 --> 00:07:01,908
in such dire straits as Riverdale,
where do you even begin?

152
00:07:02,272 --> 00:07:03,340
I know.

153
00:07:03,366 --> 00:07:06,445
The homeless encampment
you call "Sketch Alley."

154
00:07:07,392 --> 00:07:08,670
Poverty

155
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:11,806
begets more poverty, begets
drugs, begets crime,

156
00:07:11,849 --> 00:07:14,137
begets more crime until no one is safe.

157
00:07:14,884 --> 00:07:17,228
I'm sorry, but the homeless
have got to be bussed out

158
00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:20,342
as quickly and humanely as possible.

159
00:07:20,368 --> 00:07:22,108
- He's right.
- I agree.

160
00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:24,816
- The homeless are a problem.
- About time someone said it.

161
00:07:24,842 --> 00:07:27,310
We can't just bus them out of town.

162
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:31,370
And I'm sorry, but that's... not who
we are, and it's not what we do.

163
00:07:31,396 --> 00:07:33,167
Riverdale takes care of their own.

164
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:35,714
And the people that
live in Sketch Alley,

165
00:07:35,740 --> 00:07:39,187
are citizens of this town
just as much as all of us.

166
00:07:39,717 --> 00:07:41,435
We need to show them that we care.

167
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:44,996
In that case, you've
heard my recommendation.

168
00:07:45,881 --> 00:07:47,895
But we're all ears, Mr. Andrews.

169
00:07:48,691 --> 00:07:49,998
What's yours?

170
00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:57,496
And thus began the battle
for Riverdale's soul.

171
00:07:58,208 --> 00:08:01,456
www.subtitulamos.tv

172
00:08:08,175 --> 00:08:10,095
Mistress Abigail, you're home.

173
00:08:10,219 --> 00:08:12,812
- How was the town hall?
- Delightsome.

174
00:08:13,042 --> 00:08:15,084
Also, a bit of gossip.

175
00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:18,787
T'was Percival Pickens, who wrote that
screed against the town of Riverdale.

176
00:08:19,024 --> 00:08:21,234
He may prove an ally to me.

177
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:25,610
But first, me thinks I must acquaint
myself with the history of Riverdale

178
00:08:25,636 --> 00:08:29,273
and the role the Pickens
family played in its shaping.

179
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,726
I think I saw a book in
the Thornhill library.

180
00:08:31,752 --> 00:08:33,855
I'll fetch it for you, Mistress Abigail.

181
00:08:34,023 --> 00:08:35,983
I've just brewed you some tea.

182
00:08:36,033 --> 00:08:39,123
Why don't you retire to your room
and I'll bring both up to you?

183
00:08:46,928 --> 00:08:48,388
Don't punch me.

184
00:08:49,613 --> 00:08:51,303
I should, you know.

185
00:08:51,616 --> 00:08:55,237
Look, Archie, I'm a journalist. I'm
supposed to remain impartial. But,

186
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:57,896
I heard what you said at the town hall.

187
00:08:58,028 --> 00:08:59,734
And for what it's worth,
I agree with you.

188
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,125
I think bussing the unhoused out
of Riverdale is not a solution.

189
00:09:03,151 --> 00:09:04,625
I know those people.

190
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:08,673
At times I was one of them

191
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:11,516
and they've always helped
me when I was in trouble.

192
00:09:11,542 --> 00:09:13,547
They're good people.
They need our resources.

193
00:09:13,573 --> 00:09:15,831
- Could've said that at the meeting.
- I will, at the next one,

194
00:09:15,857 --> 00:09:17,402
once you present your big idea.

195
00:09:18,094 --> 00:09:19,159
Well...

196
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:21,424
I...

197
00:09:22,085 --> 00:09:23,330
I don't have one yet.

198
00:09:23,667 --> 00:09:26,897
That's okay. I did some research
of my own after the last meeting.

199
00:09:26,923 --> 00:09:29,318
A lot of cities, they're... they're
building these micro homes.

200
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,279
They're basically cabins, right?

201
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,712
They have a shower and
a toilet and a bed.

202
00:09:34,031 --> 00:09:35,446
Imagine if we did that.

203
00:09:35,472 --> 00:09:38,035
We build one of these homes
for every unhoused person

204
00:09:38,061 --> 00:09:40,772
living in a cardboard box
or a tent on the alley.

205
00:09:40,798 --> 00:09:41,899
We?

206
00:09:42,113 --> 00:09:44,691
You're the only person I know
that has a construction business.

207
00:09:47,731 --> 00:09:48,926
All right.

208
00:09:49,970 --> 00:09:51,183
Let's do this.

209
00:09:51,818 --> 00:09:53,106
Let's try.

210
00:10:07,572 --> 00:10:08,824
Perfect.

211
00:10:09,608 --> 00:10:11,307
Sweet dreams, Abigail.

212
00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:17,379
And hopefully for me, too.

213
00:10:52,129 --> 00:10:54,339
How are you liking that cake?

214
00:10:54,389 --> 00:10:58,586
Vanilla, your favorite.
Just as requested.

215
00:11:00,011 --> 00:11:01,668
Excuse me.

216
00:11:02,774 --> 00:11:05,855
I'm looking for Cheryl Blossom.

217
00:11:06,619 --> 00:11:08,079
Who the hell are you?

218
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:09,487
I'm...

219
00:11:10,469 --> 00:11:13,430
a friend of hers. Is Cheryl not here?

220
00:11:13,495 --> 00:11:15,326
Well, she's right over there.

221
00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:18,771
Facing the wall as punishment for being

222
00:11:18,797 --> 00:11:22,139
such a selfish, ungrateful brat.

223
00:11:28,864 --> 00:11:29,945
But...

224
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,137
it's her birthday, too, isn't it?

225
00:11:32,163 --> 00:11:33,757
Not this year.

226
00:11:34,432 --> 00:11:36,976
Not the way she's been behaving.

227
00:11:37,868 --> 00:11:40,162
Will she get her presents, at least?

228
00:11:40,188 --> 00:11:43,014
Absolutely not.

229
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:46,453
Now, who did you say you were?

230
00:12:20,013 --> 00:12:21,192
Reggie.

231
00:12:21,218 --> 00:12:23,660
We haven't talked about it too much but,

232
00:12:23,686 --> 00:12:26,172
I've always assumed we'd be sort of

233
00:12:26,441 --> 00:12:29,174
gaming the system with the casino.

234
00:12:29,691 --> 00:12:33,655
You know, doing our usual
side hustles and scams.

235
00:12:33,681 --> 00:12:36,213
I made the same assumptions.

236
00:12:36,255 --> 00:12:37,733
What if we

237
00:12:38,036 --> 00:12:39,245
didn't?

238
00:12:39,271 --> 00:12:41,441
Does that mean no scams?

239
00:12:41,467 --> 00:12:42,928
No scams,

240
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:45,231
no side deals, no loopholes,

241
00:12:45,257 --> 00:12:47,060
no tax evasion.

242
00:12:47,188 --> 00:12:50,541
What if we proved Alice
and the haters wrong

243
00:12:50,567 --> 00:12:54,236
and operated completely above board?

244
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:59,480
I just buried my father, Reggie.
Let's start a new chapter and

245
00:12:59,776 --> 00:13:02,330
rehabilitate the Lodge name.

246
00:13:02,732 --> 00:13:06,611
Instead of the council fighting us at
every turn, we lock arms with them,

247
00:13:06,708 --> 00:13:09,615
help fix the town my dad broke.

248
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:12,587
I like it in theory, Ronnie.

249
00:13:12,984 --> 00:13:14,652
But the first thing is

250
00:13:14,678 --> 00:13:17,576
we'd have to get our licenses
and permits in order.

251
00:13:18,948 --> 00:13:20,181
Okay.

252
00:13:21,706 --> 00:13:23,153
Is that a problem?

253
00:13:23,359 --> 00:13:26,322
No, it's just very expensive.

254
00:13:26,648 --> 00:13:28,737
Let's pull the trigger, Reggie.

255
00:13:32,582 --> 00:13:35,894
And let's hang my father's
portrait right up here.

256
00:13:38,386 --> 00:13:41,984
As a constant reminder of who
we're not going to be like.

257
00:13:43,987 --> 00:13:47,231
I don't disagree with what
you're saying, Mr. Pickens.

258
00:13:47,257 --> 00:13:49,102
Please, call me Percival.

259
00:13:49,413 --> 00:13:50,977
Percival,

260
00:13:51,796 --> 00:13:54,250
I just don't want to come down
on either side of the issue

261
00:13:54,291 --> 00:13:57,999
until Archie has had a chance
to present his solutions.

262
00:13:58,025 --> 00:13:59,828
Of course, not. Alice...

263
00:14:00,190 --> 00:14:01,669
Sorry, may I call you Alice?

264
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,368
Yes.

265
00:14:03,394 --> 00:14:04,466
Thank you.

266
00:14:06,226 --> 00:14:07,882
It's just I...

267
00:14:08,377 --> 00:14:11,255
assumed that you would have

268
00:14:11,368 --> 00:14:14,605
a personal stake in
making Riverdale safer

269
00:14:15,763 --> 00:14:17,758
given what happened to your daughter.

270
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:19,887
Polly.

271
00:14:24,689 --> 00:14:28,023
All right, people, let's
call this meeting to order.

272
00:14:28,393 --> 00:14:31,774
Our proposal for the
town's future is simple.

273
00:14:32,050 --> 00:14:33,131
Reginald?

274
00:14:34,786 --> 00:14:37,651
Riverdale, the new Atlantic city.

275
00:14:37,677 --> 00:14:41,076
Instead of the town and the casino
being at odds with each other,

276
00:14:41,102 --> 00:14:42,824
why not work together

277
00:14:42,968 --> 00:14:47,948
and rebrand as a family-friendly,
destination hotspot?

278
00:14:47,982 --> 00:14:49,501
Let Babylonium

279
00:14:49,527 --> 00:14:51,987
be the solution to lifting Riverdale up.

280
00:14:52,013 --> 00:14:53,264
So, what,

281
00:14:53,290 --> 00:14:55,269
children can gamble now, is that it?

282
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:58,230
We would open an arcade,
provide daycare.

283
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:00,149
Here's my problem with the casino.

284
00:15:00,190 --> 00:15:02,029
Riverdale has a lot of broken people.

285
00:15:02,055 --> 00:15:04,516
Including veterans like
myself and Archie.

286
00:15:04,554 --> 00:15:07,908
And a casino just isn't a healthy
environment for people like that.

287
00:15:07,934 --> 00:15:11,627
You raise a valid point, Frank.
Let's have that dialogue.

288
00:15:11,653 --> 00:15:14,400
But not today. We have
your proposal, Veronica.

289
00:15:14,426 --> 00:15:16,123
We will look it over
and get back to you.

290
00:15:16,165 --> 00:15:18,667
In the meantime, if we catch one whiff

291
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:20,961
of any trouble coming from your casino,

292
00:15:21,003 --> 00:15:24,426
then any partnership would
be immediately untenable.

293
00:15:24,697 --> 00:15:25,823
Great.

294
00:15:25,944 --> 00:15:28,406
Thank you, Team Babylonium.

295
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:33,349
So, the spaces are eight feet wide.

296
00:15:33,390 --> 00:15:36,653
They house one to two people,
and they can be locked which

297
00:15:36,858 --> 00:15:39,694
helps give the occupants a sense
of ownership and security.

298
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,643
And not to mention, all of
the labor, will be provided

299
00:15:42,669 --> 00:15:44,623
free of charge by Andrews Construction.

300
00:15:44,665 --> 00:15:47,212
This is a strong, simple
and smart idea, Archie.

301
00:15:47,237 --> 00:15:51,158
Yeah, they have these mini-houses in
Chicago, and they are game changing.

302
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,083
Awesome. Yeah. So to start,
I was thinking around 30.

303
00:15:54,109 --> 00:15:55,641
Thirty houses?

304
00:15:55,813 --> 00:15:57,940
How much do these things cost?

305
00:15:57,966 --> 00:16:01,847
Well, like I said, Alice, the labor
will be free, but with materials,

306
00:16:01,873 --> 00:16:03,796
I'm thinking around 20, 25.

307
00:16:03,837 --> 00:16:06,063
Thousand for each house?

308
00:16:06,558 --> 00:16:09,191
No. Riverdale can't afford this.

309
00:16:09,217 --> 00:16:11,030
We'd have to raise taxes.

310
00:16:11,134 --> 00:16:12,848
More taxes? No way.

311
00:16:12,874 --> 00:16:15,329
- We can barely pay our mortgage.
- Just make the problem go away.

312
00:16:15,355 --> 00:16:17,260
I agree with that British dude.

313
00:16:17,610 --> 00:16:20,753
I feel it's my civic duty at
this point to point out that,

314
00:16:20,779 --> 00:16:23,827
my straightforward proposal would cost the
people of Riverdale virtually nothing,

315
00:16:23,853 --> 00:16:26,069
and could be carried out immediately.

316
00:16:26,381 --> 00:16:28,484
We like the vision, Archie.

317
00:16:28,708 --> 00:16:31,072
At least, most of us do.

318
00:16:31,996 --> 00:16:34,293
We just need to figure
out a way to fund it.

319
00:16:34,319 --> 00:16:38,584
And if you could show us proof of
concept, that would be super helpful.

320
00:16:38,617 --> 00:16:41,547
Yeah, for sure. I'll figure something out.
I appreciate your time.

321
00:16:43,728 --> 00:16:46,138
- Thanks for staying behind to chat.
- Not at all.

322
00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:48,981
I welcome any opportunity to get
to know my neighbors better.

323
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,525
Yeah, me, too.

324
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:53,883
- So, you're English?
- Indeed.

325
00:16:53,933 --> 00:16:56,966
Some of the Pickens family came to the
States to settle in the colonies,

326
00:16:56,992 --> 00:16:59,669
others stayed behind in the old country.

327
00:16:59,695 --> 00:17:01,909
Is that where you were before
you came to Riverdale?

328
00:17:02,173 --> 00:17:03,377
No.

329
00:17:05,012 --> 00:17:07,000
I was traveling here and there.

330
00:17:07,263 --> 00:17:10,481
Nowhere with the potential
of this place, though.

331
00:17:10,664 --> 00:17:14,251
Do you know I think with a spot of
investment and a little bit of hard work,

332
00:17:14,427 --> 00:17:16,660
this place could be the
next Marsha's Vineyard.

333
00:17:18,201 --> 00:17:20,561
Look, maybe we got off
on the wrong foot.

334
00:17:21,282 --> 00:17:23,158
We both want the same thing.

335
00:17:23,263 --> 00:17:25,700
A better, safer Riverdale.

336
00:17:26,203 --> 00:17:29,476
And can't we align on this
idea about the houses?

337
00:17:29,502 --> 00:17:31,416
Don't see that happening, Mr. Andrews.

338
00:17:31,442 --> 00:17:33,763
Because, if you don't mind
my saying, you're thinking

339
00:17:33,789 --> 00:17:36,408
is fundamentally flawed.
And I'll tell you why.

340
00:17:37,202 --> 00:17:38,376
One.

341
00:17:38,666 --> 00:17:41,325
People of Sketch Alley
don't want your help.

342
00:17:41,643 --> 00:17:43,168
All they want are handouts.

343
00:17:43,194 --> 00:17:45,671
And if you try and lift
them up, all they'll do is

344
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:48,998
bring you and your property values down.

345
00:17:50,113 --> 00:17:53,813
And number two, at the risk of
disillusioning you further,

346
00:17:54,929 --> 00:17:57,293
your neighbors don't want them here.

347
00:17:58,292 --> 00:18:01,313
They'll say they're good,
liberal people but,

348
00:18:01,344 --> 00:18:03,250
in their heart of hearts,

349
00:18:03,641 --> 00:18:05,300
what they really want

350
00:18:05,919 --> 00:18:08,805
is for the poor, the destitute,

351
00:18:09,174 --> 00:18:11,251
and the smelly to go away

352
00:18:11,596 --> 00:18:14,023
without compromising their own comfort.

353
00:18:14,426 --> 00:18:15,946
You're wrong.

354
00:18:18,395 --> 00:18:23,277
And so is your warped,
cynical idea of who we are.

355
00:18:24,009 --> 00:18:25,636
I'll prove it to you.

356
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,936
Well, I don't think so but...

357
00:18:29,159 --> 00:18:30,517
let's see.

358
00:18:36,854 --> 00:18:40,075
You called this meeting. What
can we do for you, Archie?

359
00:18:40,101 --> 00:18:42,945
You're both on the council.
But I'm here appealing to you

360
00:18:42,971 --> 00:18:46,305
as two of the most prominent
business owners in Riverdale.

361
00:18:46,611 --> 00:18:48,110
I need your personal help.

362
00:18:48,136 --> 00:18:49,547
Okay.

363
00:18:49,743 --> 00:18:51,207
We're listening.

364
00:18:51,233 --> 00:18:54,737
Would you each be willing to
underwrite one of the houses?

365
00:18:54,933 --> 00:18:58,186
I was thinking after I finished
building them, we could paint them.

366
00:18:58,212 --> 00:19:01,560
One like Pop's and one
like the Whyte Wyrm.

367
00:19:01,725 --> 00:19:04,221
In a way, they'd be like billboards.

368
00:19:04,247 --> 00:19:07,357
And you're sure you don't mind that
I'm a quote unquote, gang member?

369
00:19:07,383 --> 00:19:09,577
Come on. No. Not at all.

370
00:19:09,656 --> 00:19:11,650
Where would you set
them up and build them?

371
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:14,278
I was hoping we could set
them up in the parking lot.

372
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:18,105
That way, the folks living in them could
feel more a part of the town's daily life.

373
00:19:19,074 --> 00:19:21,732
Yeah, of course, Archie, we're in.

374
00:19:21,758 --> 00:19:22,694
Great.

375
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,364
And as for where we build them, I was
thinking we could do that in Sketch Alley.

376
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:28,722
Doc.

377
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:31,934
- Hey!
- How have you been?

378
00:19:34,175 --> 00:19:35,842
I'm surviving.

379
00:19:36,021 --> 00:19:38,234
Well, you look a lot better
than the last time I saw you.

380
00:19:38,260 --> 00:19:40,245
And that's thanks to you.

381
00:19:40,271 --> 00:19:42,231
That's the reason we're here too.

382
00:19:42,327 --> 00:19:43,842
Wanted to repay the favor.

383
00:19:43,868 --> 00:19:46,528
I mean, if you're cool with it.
This is my pal Archie.

384
00:19:46,554 --> 00:19:49,190
And the rest of us were hoping to
build some houses for you guys.

385
00:19:49,274 --> 00:19:50,771
One for each of you.

386
00:19:51,311 --> 00:19:55,014
- Houses?
- They're small, but they're swanky.

387
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,047
If you guys want to
help out, that's great.

388
00:19:57,073 --> 00:19:59,505
If not, we just wanted to let
you know what we are up to.

389
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:00,824
All good either way.

390
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:02,355
When do we start?

391
00:20:02,403 --> 00:20:04,267
- How about right now?
- All right.

392
00:20:12,208 --> 00:20:13,556
We've got a problem.

393
00:20:13,582 --> 00:20:16,418
I've been crunching numbers, and
given all of our start up costs,

394
00:20:16,444 --> 00:20:18,648
our expenses, not to mention permit costs...

395
00:20:18,674 --> 00:20:19,958
Cut to the chase, Reggie.

396
00:20:19,984 --> 00:20:22,054
We're overleveraged, Ronnie.

397
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:23,307
Majorly.

398
00:20:23,333 --> 00:20:27,485
If we're strictly legit, it's going to
be impossible for us to turn a profit.

399
00:20:27,511 --> 00:20:28,799
Maybe ever.

400
00:20:31,267 --> 00:20:32,544
Unless.

401
00:20:33,326 --> 00:20:34,547
Don't say it.

402
00:20:34,573 --> 00:20:37,551
We start running scams,
which we could do.

403
00:20:38,550 --> 00:20:40,491
Miss Lodge, Mr. Mantle.

404
00:20:40,517 --> 00:20:42,455
I apologize, but you've got to come

405
00:20:42,481 --> 00:20:45,426
to the private gambling room now.

406
00:20:45,452 --> 00:20:47,347
What is it? Something bad?

407
00:20:47,547 --> 00:20:48,743
Yeah.

408
00:20:55,753 --> 00:20:57,071
Oh, my God.

409
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:01,553
What should we do? Cut him down?
Call the ambulance?

410
00:21:01,579 --> 00:21:04,374
That's what a legit place
would do, right? Right?

411
00:21:04,439 --> 00:21:07,561
Yes, yes. But we don't
have that luxury, Reggie.

412
00:21:07,665 --> 00:21:10,466
This would be a horrible
news story if it broke.

413
00:21:10,492 --> 00:21:14,092
It would confirm Alice and the
council's worst fear about this place

414
00:21:14,118 --> 00:21:16,808
and Babylonium would be
over before it even began.

415
00:21:18,219 --> 00:21:19,350
Wait.

416
00:21:20,492 --> 00:21:21,900
I know who could help.

417
00:21:22,947 --> 00:21:24,537
Abuelita's iceman.

418
00:21:41,803 --> 00:21:44,235
Mistress Cheryl, it's me.

419
00:21:44,495 --> 00:21:45,671
Britta.

420
00:21:48,904 --> 00:21:51,933
You have to wake up. Please.

421
00:21:53,847 --> 00:21:55,349
What is it, Brittania?

422
00:21:55,375 --> 00:21:58,077
Wake up. Time to rise and shine.

423
00:21:58,103 --> 00:22:00,746
- Time to get out of bed, you lazy bones.
- It's dearest Mumsy.

424
00:22:00,772 --> 00:22:03,617
You have to hide. If she finds
you, I don't know what she'll do.

425
00:22:03,698 --> 00:22:04,832
Now!

426
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:09,578
Wake up, devil children!

427
00:22:09,703 --> 00:22:12,061
Mumsy? What's going on? It's
the middle of the night.

428
00:22:12,087 --> 00:22:15,542
Doesn't matter. This place,
this whole house is a sty.

429
00:22:15,584 --> 00:22:18,777
Now, you grab that bucket and a
brush and you get to work, piggies.

430
00:22:18,803 --> 00:22:20,764
Yes, dearest Mumsy.

431
00:22:20,797 --> 00:22:25,527
Get on your hand and knees
and you scrub that floor till it's clean!

432
00:22:25,553 --> 00:22:28,626
I want to be able to eat off of it.

433
00:22:30,848 --> 00:22:33,352
What are you doing? Why
aren't you working?

434
00:22:33,393 --> 00:22:34,963
You get back to work.

435
00:22:34,989 --> 00:22:39,180
Or I will get the hanger to you.
Don't make me hurt you!

436
00:23:08,261 --> 00:23:11,080
Hey, it's Doc, right?

437
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:16,211
Do you need something?

438
00:23:26,469 --> 00:23:28,756
And what did our young Kevin Keller get

439
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:30,867
in exchange for wanting
to provide shelter

440
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:32,783
to the people of Sketch Alley?

441
00:23:32,958 --> 00:23:36,835
A hammer to the skull is what he got.

442
00:23:37,155 --> 00:23:40,378
This vicious attack
is a clear indication

443
00:23:40,404 --> 00:23:42,531
that these people don't want our help.

444
00:23:42,629 --> 00:23:46,508
You offer them a helping hand
and they respond with violence.

445
00:23:46,534 --> 00:23:50,287
Well, this journalist
and town council member

446
00:23:50,313 --> 00:23:52,374
says, no more...

447
00:23:55,785 --> 00:23:57,563
How is Kevin doing?

448
00:23:57,771 --> 00:23:59,397
I just came from the hospital.

449
00:23:59,487 --> 00:24:00,741
He's gonna be okay.

450
00:24:00,774 --> 00:24:02,484
This is a mess, Archie.

451
00:24:02,510 --> 00:24:04,196
Believe me, I know, Toni.

452
00:24:04,378 --> 00:24:06,945
These houses are going to be painted
with our businesses on them.

453
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:09,614
If they're associated with
violence and crime...

454
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,712
I know.

455
00:24:10,738 --> 00:24:13,549
And I know that article didn't
exactly do the Serpents any favors.

456
00:24:13,575 --> 00:24:16,830
It did not. But you still
have our financial support.

457
00:24:16,872 --> 00:24:18,915
So, maybe just hold off a beat

458
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:21,557
before you paint it to
match the Whyte Wyrm.

459
00:24:21,583 --> 00:24:22,935
Yeah, that makes sense.

460
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:25,903
- Thanks for the support, Toni.
- Yeah, no problem.

461
00:24:25,929 --> 00:24:29,432
- I'll send you my payment on
Chime right now. - Cool.

462
00:24:30,455 --> 00:24:31,915
How about you, Tabitha?

463
00:24:32,084 --> 00:24:33,727
I am...

464
00:24:34,509 --> 00:24:36,594
still in, Archie.

465
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:39,464
Paint job and all. So...

466
00:24:39,743 --> 00:24:41,828
When do you want to set
up the first house?

467
00:24:41,854 --> 00:24:44,374
Well, I'll bring it by
in my truck later today.

468
00:24:45,165 --> 00:24:46,892
Thank you, guys.

469
00:24:47,254 --> 00:24:48,532
Talk to me, Reggie.

470
00:24:48,558 --> 00:24:51,333
So I figured, that dead guy must
have been on a major losing streak,

471
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,074
- and that's why he...
- Killed himself.

472
00:24:53,116 --> 00:24:55,160
- Sadly, that makes sense.
- But, no.

473
00:24:55,499 --> 00:24:57,458
He was winning big-time.

474
00:24:57,523 --> 00:25:01,322
So, I called the blackjack dealer
and pulled the security footage.

475
00:25:04,135 --> 00:25:06,964
He was on top of the
world, up almost 20 grand.

476
00:25:06,990 --> 00:25:09,888
Why would a guy who's winning
every hand suddenly just...

477
00:25:10,926 --> 00:25:12,093
off himself?

478
00:25:12,135 --> 00:25:14,572
Wait, wait, wait. Stop the tape.

479
00:25:16,258 --> 00:25:17,426
Look.

480
00:25:18,069 --> 00:25:19,722
Who the hell is that?

481
00:25:20,296 --> 00:25:23,717
That's the British creep from
Town Hall, Percival Pickens.

482
00:25:23,922 --> 00:25:25,891
What the hell is he saying?

483
00:25:31,235 --> 00:25:32,605
Miss Lodge, I'm here.

484
00:25:34,053 --> 00:25:36,876
Heraldo, thank you so much
for coming so speedily.

485
00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:37,875
Where's the body?

486
00:25:37,901 --> 00:25:40,354
Jeez. Cut to the chase much?

487
00:25:40,562 --> 00:25:42,792
Downstairs. I'll take you.

488
00:25:43,446 --> 00:25:46,263
Grand Mistress Rose, it's
gotten so much worse.

489
00:25:46,489 --> 00:25:50,757
Mistress Cheryl's mother is torturing
her in every way imaginable.

490
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:54,045
Penelope has always been
Cheryl's tormentor.

491
00:25:54,071 --> 00:25:56,805
So, of course, Abigail
would have conjured her

492
00:25:56,846 --> 00:26:00,163
as my granddaughter's
adversary in the dreamscape.

493
00:26:00,189 --> 00:26:01,783
She's terrifying.

494
00:26:01,809 --> 00:26:06,796
You must tell Cheryl that
Penelope is but a fiction.

495
00:26:06,822 --> 00:26:09,867
A bogeyman pulled from
her own subconscious.

496
00:26:09,893 --> 00:26:12,558
That perhaps will shake
her free of her stupor

497
00:26:12,584 --> 00:26:14,590
and spur her into action.

498
00:26:15,163 --> 00:26:17,075
Else, Abigail may take

499
00:26:17,117 --> 00:26:19,911
permanent possession of
my granddaughter's body.

500
00:26:19,953 --> 00:26:23,791
But I never even get the chance to
talk to her before the nightmare...

501
00:26:23,910 --> 00:26:26,015
Penelope descends on us.

502
00:26:26,041 --> 00:26:29,257
Then perhaps, child, you must divine

503
00:26:29,283 --> 00:26:32,115
a better way to communicate with her.

504
00:26:36,251 --> 00:26:39,002
Gentlemen, I am so sorry to intrude.

505
00:26:39,271 --> 00:26:40,519
May I come in?

506
00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:42,173
Yeah.

507
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:52,747
I heard all about what happened
in Sketch Alley. And...

508
00:26:53,609 --> 00:26:55,280
I wanted to talk to you.

509
00:26:58,556 --> 00:27:00,253
In hopes it never happens again.

510
00:27:04,987 --> 00:27:06,989
Well, what do you think, Tabitha?

511
00:27:07,015 --> 00:27:10,018
I think it is beautiful, Archie.

512
00:27:10,107 --> 00:27:11,797
Well, it was a group effort.

513
00:27:11,852 --> 00:27:15,841
And bonus, Benjamin Moore donated
the paint for future houses, too.

514
00:27:16,092 --> 00:27:17,954
I think it's a great start, Arch.

515
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,771
You're good. I can take it from here.

516
00:27:27,797 --> 00:27:29,745
What are you gonna do?

517
00:27:29,905 --> 00:27:32,837
After dark, I'll put him in
his car, drive into Jersey,

518
00:27:32,863 --> 00:27:35,700
hang him up in the bathroom of
a rest stop with no cameras,

519
00:27:35,726 --> 00:27:37,039
call it in.

520
00:27:37,977 --> 00:27:39,562
How are things going otherwise?

521
00:27:39,588 --> 00:27:40,859
How's business?

522
00:27:41,172 --> 00:27:42,488
Slow.

523
00:27:42,583 --> 00:27:46,143
We're not quite the sensation
we were hoping we'd be.

524
00:27:46,169 --> 00:27:47,747
You know, if you want,

525
00:27:48,028 --> 00:27:50,974
I could put the word out
to some wise guys I know.

526
00:27:51,618 --> 00:27:54,445
They got money, and
they like spending it.

527
00:27:54,471 --> 00:27:58,267
I appreciate the offer, and no
offense to your wise guys, but...

528
00:27:58,968 --> 00:28:02,425
we're trying to avoid
that, if at all possible.

529
00:28:02,451 --> 00:28:03,838
No worries, just...

530
00:28:04,245 --> 00:28:05,527
trying to help.

531
00:28:06,698 --> 00:28:09,086
Actually, you know what you could do?

532
00:28:09,645 --> 00:28:12,022
Could you look into someone for me?

533
00:28:12,152 --> 00:28:14,833
His name's Percival Pickens.
He's British.

534
00:28:14,859 --> 00:28:16,736
Just got into town and...

535
00:28:16,778 --> 00:28:19,010
there's something off about him.

536
00:28:19,544 --> 00:28:21,408
And I want to know what.

537
00:28:21,434 --> 00:28:22,857
Yeah, I can do that.

538
00:28:34,581 --> 00:28:36,401
Hey, Tabitha. What's up?

539
00:28:39,548 --> 00:28:40,929
I'm on my way.

540
00:28:49,625 --> 00:28:50,703
What the hell!

541
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,933
_

542
00:29:09,396 --> 00:29:10,838
Doc.

543
00:29:12,412 --> 00:29:15,436
- Why did you do that to Kevin?
- I have no idea.

544
00:29:15,462 --> 00:29:18,131
I have absolutely no memory
of attacking your friend.

545
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:19,204
Well, you did.

546
00:29:19,386 --> 00:29:21,468
One minute, I'm hammering...

547
00:29:22,375 --> 00:29:24,398
and the next minute, I'm just...

548
00:29:24,763 --> 00:29:26,710
standing over your friend.

549
00:29:26,824 --> 00:29:29,211
Getting ready to take
another swipe at him.

550
00:29:30,879 --> 00:29:32,842
You gotta believe me, Jughead.

551
00:29:33,580 --> 00:29:34,685
It was...

552
00:29:34,711 --> 00:29:37,411
like someone put the idea in my head.

553
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:39,785
Who?

554
00:29:41,789 --> 00:29:43,332
Who could have done that?

555
00:29:43,573 --> 00:29:44,934
He...

556
00:29:45,195 --> 00:29:46,350
had an accent.

557
00:29:46,376 --> 00:29:48,225
He might have had a British accent.

558
00:29:50,848 --> 00:29:53,252
Thank you again, for
agreeing to meet with me.

559
00:29:53,278 --> 00:29:55,758
Like I mentioned, I would love
to do a follow up article

560
00:29:55,784 --> 00:29:57,197
to the one that you wrote.

561
00:29:57,223 --> 00:30:00,065
Something like a rebuttal.

562
00:30:00,335 --> 00:30:01,970
Well, to each his own.

563
00:30:02,926 --> 00:30:05,521
I've been thinking about
this quote that I read.

564
00:30:05,547 --> 00:30:07,460
"The true measure of any society

565
00:30:07,486 --> 00:30:10,391
"can be found in how it treats
its most vulnerable members."

566
00:30:10,433 --> 00:30:13,228
Well, whoever said that obviously
didn't grow up in Riverdale.

567
00:30:13,254 --> 00:30:14,674
It's Gandhi.

568
00:30:15,375 --> 00:30:17,018
So tell me, Percival,

569
00:30:17,044 --> 00:30:20,379
do you really think that bussing
the unhoused out of Riverdale

570
00:30:20,405 --> 00:30:22,987
is the best that we can
muster as a society?

571
00:30:23,029 --> 00:30:24,823
Well, as I mentioned before,

572
00:30:24,864 --> 00:30:27,871
I am coming at this from
a place of compassion.

573
00:30:28,061 --> 00:30:31,382
My main concern is for the the
law-abiding citizens of Riverdale,

574
00:30:31,408 --> 00:30:35,875
those who pay their taxes and contribute
to the betterment of our society.

575
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:38,837
I've been to several
Sketch Alleys in my time.

576
00:30:38,863 --> 00:30:42,529
The truth is, charity is
doing them a disservice.

577
00:30:42,555 --> 00:30:46,198
As is giving them a handout when
what they really should be doing

578
00:30:46,224 --> 00:30:48,388
is fending for themselves.

579
00:30:48,414 --> 00:30:52,603
Tell me, are you having fun rooting
around inside my brain, Mr. Jones?

580
00:30:52,767 --> 00:30:53,890
What?

581
00:30:53,916 --> 00:30:57,012
Get out of my head,
you piece of garbage!

582
00:30:58,666 --> 00:31:00,579
Are you all right, Mr. Jones?

583
00:31:01,210 --> 00:31:04,130
Did I not answer the question
to your satisfaction?

584
00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:32,140
Mistress Cheryl?

585
00:31:32,516 --> 00:31:33,934
Is that you?

586
00:31:35,380 --> 00:31:37,337
It's me. I'm here.

587
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:44,709
Mistress Cheryl, what happened
to your beautiful hair?

588
00:31:45,027 --> 00:31:46,947
Mumsy, of course.

589
00:31:47,732 --> 00:31:50,769
She cut it off when she
saw me with my friend...

590
00:31:52,052 --> 00:31:53,414
Heather.

591
00:31:53,626 --> 00:31:56,504
Please, Mistress Cheryl,
you have to listen to me.

592
00:31:56,530 --> 00:31:58,828
This isn't happening.
You're in a dreamscape.

593
00:31:58,854 --> 00:32:00,981
Your mother isn't actually here.

594
00:32:01,127 --> 00:32:03,409
- What?
- Of course, she is.

595
00:32:03,435 --> 00:32:04,440
No.

596
00:32:04,672 --> 00:32:06,257
It's hard to explain.

597
00:32:06,299 --> 00:32:08,051
I have written down
everything you need to know.

598
00:32:08,092 --> 00:32:10,454
What is going on here?

599
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:12,170
Unbelievable.

600
00:32:12,597 --> 00:32:14,849
I catch you with one sapphic slut,

601
00:32:14,875 --> 00:32:18,065
and not an hour later, you're
back with another one.

602
00:32:18,817 --> 00:32:21,744
Whomever you are, you should be ashamed.

603
00:32:21,770 --> 00:32:23,306
Screw you.

604
00:32:23,380 --> 00:32:25,485
You're not even real, Mrs. Blossom.

605
00:32:25,772 --> 00:32:27,890
How dare you?

606
00:32:28,129 --> 00:32:31,928
Get out of Thornhill.
You don't belong here.

607
00:32:38,365 --> 00:32:40,124
Please, Mrs. Blossom...

608
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:43,005
Don't you show your face
in this house again.

609
00:32:51,085 --> 00:32:52,599
Mistress Cheryl,

610
00:32:52,625 --> 00:32:55,562
the world you are currently
inhabiting is not reality,

611
00:32:55,588 --> 00:32:58,891
but rather a hellish dreamscape
from which we must free you.

612
00:32:59,060 --> 00:33:02,635
Your physical body is currently possessed
by the spirit of Abigail Blossom.

613
00:33:02,661 --> 00:33:05,287
And she has trapped you in
a prison in your own mind

614
00:33:05,313 --> 00:33:07,454
with Penelope as your cruel warden.

615
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,483
But she is not real, Mistress Cheryl.

616
00:33:10,509 --> 00:33:12,683
And you must not let her dominate you.

617
00:33:12,709 --> 00:33:15,302
Do not let her break your spirit.
For if she does,

618
00:33:15,328 --> 00:33:17,133
your soul may wither and dissipate

619
00:33:17,159 --> 00:33:19,658
within the confines of
your corporeal body.

620
00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:21,664
She is but a ghost.

621
00:33:21,690 --> 00:33:24,173
A creation of the imagination.

622
00:33:24,210 --> 00:33:26,675
You can defeat her.

623
00:33:27,588 --> 00:33:33,515
I am gonna beat you to
within an inch of your life,

624
00:33:33,541 --> 00:33:37,591
you deviant, wretched creature!

625
00:33:38,756 --> 00:33:41,426
Why are you looking at me like that,

626
00:33:41,769 --> 00:33:43,986
you shameless, little wretch?

627
00:33:44,314 --> 00:33:47,109
Because I know the truth now, Mumsy.

628
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:49,171
You're not real.

629
00:33:49,197 --> 00:33:50,782
Is that a fact?

630
00:33:51,314 --> 00:33:52,408
Yes.

631
00:33:52,654 --> 00:33:56,562
You're in my mind, you psychotic bitch.

632
00:33:57,209 --> 00:33:59,438
And you shouldn't be here.

633
00:34:09,206 --> 00:34:10,872
What are you guys doing?

634
00:34:11,410 --> 00:34:13,739
I'm here to break that house
down and haul it away.

635
00:34:14,469 --> 00:34:16,152
No, you're not.

636
00:34:16,264 --> 00:34:17,933
Tabitha called us, Archie.

637
00:34:17,959 --> 00:34:20,523
We started a project, and we're
doubling down to finish it.

638
00:34:20,549 --> 00:34:23,130
And a few hours later, someone
will have vandalized them again.

639
00:34:23,156 --> 00:34:25,548
Then, we will repaint them.

640
00:34:25,574 --> 00:34:28,452
And again, and again. As
many times as we have to.

641
00:34:28,478 --> 00:34:30,083
Why don't you grab a brush?

642
00:34:30,421 --> 00:34:31,727
It's cold out.

643
00:34:32,952 --> 00:34:35,024
I do need to talk to you
about something, though.

644
00:34:36,004 --> 00:34:38,121
I don't think Doc was the
one that attacked Kevin.

645
00:34:38,147 --> 00:34:39,383
Who else would it have been?

646
00:34:39,410 --> 00:34:40,595
Hello, there.

647
00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:42,285
Now what are you folks doing?

648
00:34:43,759 --> 00:34:46,108
My goodness, aren't
those charming houses?

649
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:49,142
No need for them anymore, though.

650
00:34:50,081 --> 00:34:52,009
Sketch Alley is no longer an issue.

651
00:34:52,443 --> 00:34:53,789
Meaning what?

652
00:34:53,815 --> 00:34:56,382
I took it upon myself
to visit Sketch Alley.

653
00:34:56,408 --> 00:34:58,452
I spoke to the people
living there, and...

654
00:34:59,186 --> 00:35:00,757
got them to move on.

655
00:35:01,301 --> 00:35:04,898
Leave town, start over somewhere else.

656
00:35:04,924 --> 00:35:06,675
And how did you do that?

657
00:35:06,923 --> 00:35:09,527
Call it the power of persuasion.

658
00:35:11,684 --> 00:35:13,803
I also bought them bus tickets, and

659
00:35:13,829 --> 00:35:17,094
gave them each $100 to
build new lives elsewhere.

660
00:35:17,153 --> 00:35:18,681
I don't believe you.

661
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,120
Well, see for yourselves.

662
00:35:21,744 --> 00:35:24,225
Then afterwards, hopefully,
see you at the town hall.

663
00:35:25,185 --> 00:35:26,769
Keep up the good work.

664
00:35:53,609 --> 00:35:55,123
Mistress Cheryl?

665
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,077
You're alive?

666
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,231
I am.

667
00:35:58,326 --> 00:36:01,033
And visiting you in
your dreams, Brittania.

668
00:36:01,075 --> 00:36:02,512
You've done well.

669
00:36:02,538 --> 00:36:06,643
And proven yourself a
dutiful and loyal factotum.

670
00:36:06,956 --> 00:36:09,010
For that, you will be rewarded.

671
00:36:09,481 --> 00:36:13,405
But only after we have driven that she-demon
Abigail out of my beautiful body.

672
00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:15,329
How will we do that?

673
00:36:16,050 --> 00:36:18,196
I haven't the faintest idea.

674
00:36:24,182 --> 00:36:26,434
Please, please, please. Thank you.

675
00:36:26,475 --> 00:36:29,908
Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

676
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:32,408
The town of Riverdale can
breathe a little easier,

677
00:36:32,434 --> 00:36:35,095
now that the denizens of Sketch Alley

678
00:36:35,276 --> 00:36:36,962
are on their way to a better place.

679
00:36:40,183 --> 00:36:43,348
The idea to pay their location
costs may have been mine,

680
00:36:43,374 --> 00:36:46,583
but I, couldn't have pulled
it off without the help

681
00:36:46,954 --> 00:36:51,867
of your sheriff, Tom Keller, a man who
represents the very best of Riverdale.

682
00:36:53,296 --> 00:36:56,191
Keeping with the good news,
I'm also pleased to announce

683
00:36:56,217 --> 00:36:58,887
that Percival will be
joining my department.

684
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:02,507
And he'll be working as a
deputy along with me and my son

685
00:37:02,594 --> 00:37:06,573
to keep the peace and fulfill
the promise of Riverdale

686
00:37:06,818 --> 00:37:08,772
that has eluded us for so long.

687
00:37:16,737 --> 00:37:18,929
Dude's like a super villain.

688
00:37:20,465 --> 00:37:22,082
That's exactly what he is.

689
00:37:23,589 --> 00:37:27,041
We seriously need to talk tonight. Okay?

690
00:37:30,118 --> 00:37:31,378
Alice.

691
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:37,187
In all the excitement, the
casino didn't even come up.

692
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:39,681
Yeah, have you looked over
our proposal, or what?

693
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:43,081
I have. And after careful review

694
00:37:43,107 --> 00:37:45,863
and some solid advice from Percival,

695
00:37:46,013 --> 00:37:48,816
the council believes that
there's a lot of risk

696
00:37:48,842 --> 00:37:50,935
in partnering with Babylonium.

697
00:37:50,961 --> 00:37:53,466
Which could be mitigated, possibly.

698
00:37:53,633 --> 00:37:57,429
But quite frankly, Veronica,
the biggest liability is you.

699
00:37:58,197 --> 00:37:59,342
Me?

700
00:38:00,531 --> 00:38:04,357
The Lodge name is synonymous
with crime and corruption

701
00:38:04,382 --> 00:38:05,843
because of Hiram.

702
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:10,162
You're its figurehead, the public face.

703
00:38:10,204 --> 00:38:13,666
So, the council feels that we could
really only support the casino

704
00:38:13,708 --> 00:38:16,968
and this idea of it becoming
the new Atlantic City,

705
00:38:16,994 --> 00:38:20,295
is if you take a back seat.
Out of the limelight.

706
00:38:22,093 --> 00:38:25,511
Alice, I am not my father.

707
00:38:25,997 --> 00:38:29,473
In fact, I've worked really, really
hard to not be like my father...

708
00:38:29,499 --> 00:38:31,405
Take offense or not, Veronica,

709
00:38:31,447 --> 00:38:34,123
but I'd like to see you do
this without our support.

710
00:38:34,742 --> 00:38:37,773
The picketing, the bad publicity,

711
00:38:37,815 --> 00:38:39,859
the complaints to the gaming board,

712
00:38:39,885 --> 00:38:43,885
the raids, the sanctions,
we won't lose this fight.

713
00:38:45,882 --> 00:38:48,403
Okay. Time for a new plan.

714
00:38:50,090 --> 00:38:52,066
We already tried taking the high road.

715
00:38:52,226 --> 00:38:55,054
If Riverdale doesn't want to bet on us,

716
00:38:55,822 --> 00:38:59,059
we'll have to lean in to who
we are and what we do best.

717
00:38:59,378 --> 00:39:01,475
As my mother likes to say,

718
00:39:01,505 --> 00:39:03,644
I am my father's daughter.

719
00:39:03,758 --> 00:39:06,820
Does that mean running scams?
Side hustles and loopholes?

720
00:39:06,846 --> 00:39:09,742
All of the above, Reggie.
All systems go.

721
00:39:09,768 --> 00:39:12,103
And, Heraldo, that offer you made

722
00:39:12,129 --> 00:39:15,266
about putting out the word
to your wise guys, do it.

723
00:39:15,465 --> 00:39:18,690
We need to start making money.
Real money, fast.

724
00:39:19,020 --> 00:39:20,502
No problem.

725
00:39:20,972 --> 00:39:23,951
Oh, and by the way, I looked
into that guy for you.

726
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,541
Percival? And, what did you find?

727
00:39:26,737 --> 00:39:27,764
Nothing.

728
00:39:28,566 --> 00:39:31,245
There's no paper trail behind him.
The guy's a ghost.

729
00:39:31,925 --> 00:39:35,053
It's like he didn't even exist before
he showed up here in Riverdale.

730
00:39:49,121 --> 00:39:50,454
Archie.

731
00:39:50,927 --> 00:39:52,216
Betty?

732
00:39:52,470 --> 00:39:57,262
Can you do me a favor? Can you shut off
the TV and the rest of the lights?

733
00:39:57,478 --> 00:39:59,112
Yeah, sure.

734
00:40:00,821 --> 00:40:02,345
Is everything okay?

735
00:40:03,017 --> 00:40:06,362
Oh, my God. What's going on?
Did TBK hurt you?

736
00:40:06,388 --> 00:40:09,592
No. No, I lost him in Maine.

737
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,413
This is something else.

738
00:40:12,582 --> 00:40:13,617
What?

739
00:40:13,643 --> 00:40:16,351
You know how I've been getting
those really bad headaches?

740
00:40:17,149 --> 00:40:21,373
They've only gotten worse. And I figured
out that they are triggered by light.

741
00:40:21,399 --> 00:40:24,750
So, the brighter the light, the
more excruciating the pain.

742
00:40:24,991 --> 00:40:26,204
Oh, my God.

743
00:40:26,230 --> 00:40:29,427
I think it's a side effect
of being able to see auras.

744
00:40:29,468 --> 00:40:31,433
Which I can still do, by the way.

745
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:32,942
Hi.

746
00:40:34,632 --> 00:40:37,034
- I'm so sorry.
- That's okay.

747
00:40:37,738 --> 00:40:40,157
God, it feels good to be home.

748
00:40:40,271 --> 00:40:42,273
It hasn't been the same without you.

749
00:40:42,314 --> 00:40:44,028
Yeah? What did I miss? Anything?

750
00:40:44,054 --> 00:40:45,534
A lot.

751
00:40:46,318 --> 00:40:48,380
It turns out Jug can...

752
00:40:49,324 --> 00:40:51,740
read minds since the explosion.

753
00:40:51,782 --> 00:40:54,553
- What?
- Yeah. And Percival Pickens,

754
00:40:54,579 --> 00:40:57,936
that weird guy who showed up out of
nowhere and tried to buy my house...

755
00:40:58,177 --> 00:41:01,092
We think he can control people's minds.

756
00:41:02,014 --> 00:41:05,360
Make people do things. Bad things.

757
00:41:07,037 --> 00:41:09,522
We're in trouble, Betty.
The whole town is.

758
00:41:16,450 --> 00:41:19,683
