1
00:00:05,148 --> 00:00:07,911
One distinct advantage of dating
the owner of a movie theater

2
00:00:07,937 --> 00:00:10,849
is getting to see flicks
with my pals for free.

3
00:00:10,875 --> 00:00:13,700
Which is why every Tuesday
night, we would gather to watch

4
00:00:13,726 --> 00:00:16,861
whatever latest atomic age
fright-fest was playing,

5
00:00:16,886 --> 00:00:20,299
little imagining that we would
soon be walking into our very own

6
00:00:20,324 --> 00:00:24,195
real-life,
science-fiction-tinged B movie.

7
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:27,265
_

8
00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:30,059
There, suddenly, was a melting man,

9
00:00:30,085 --> 00:00:32,268
coming towards us looking
like a wax statue

10
00:00:32,293 --> 00:00:35,203
that had been left out
in the sun for too long.

11
00:00:35,817 --> 00:00:38,460
At which point the cavalry
suddenly arrived.

12
00:00:45,915 --> 00:00:49,111
Sheriff Keller would soon be
claiming that the man was a vagrant,

13
00:00:49,135 --> 00:00:52,140
suffering from a rare case of...
wait for it...

14
00:00:52,234 --> 00:00:53,609
leprosy.

15
00:00:53,820 --> 00:00:57,333
But that didn't jibe with what I
overheard Ethel say to Ben Button.

16
00:00:57,359 --> 00:00:59,114
He's wearing the same uniform my dad did

17
00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:01,050
when he worked at the maple factory.

18
00:01:01,319 --> 00:01:04,731
Once again, there was something
rotten in the town of Riverdale,

19
00:01:04,757 --> 00:01:07,070
and if I was going to get
real answers this time,

20
00:01:07,096 --> 00:01:09,101
I'd have to hunt them down myself.

21
00:01:09,945 --> 00:01:13,567
Luckily, I knew for a fact that
the town coroner, Dr. Curdle,

22
00:01:13,593 --> 00:01:15,763
was a fan of Pep's horror comics,

23
00:01:15,789 --> 00:01:17,341
which were hard to come by these days.

24
00:01:17,367 --> 00:01:19,358
Unless you had an inside
connection like me.

25
00:01:19,383 --> 00:01:20,625
Oh, yes.

26
00:01:20,651 --> 00:01:23,484
These are quite marvelous, Mr. Jones.

27
00:01:24,679 --> 00:01:27,149
Worthy of a quid pro quo.

28
00:01:27,250 --> 00:01:28,419
Keen-o.

29
00:01:28,445 --> 00:01:31,696
So, clue me in on what you know
about that mysterious melting man.

30
00:01:31,722 --> 00:01:33,390
How'd he end up looking that way?

31
00:01:35,182 --> 00:01:38,585
I believe he was suffering from
acute radiation poisoning.

32
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:41,589
Jeepers!

33
00:01:42,156 --> 00:01:43,959
Nuclear or atomic?

34
00:01:44,234 --> 00:01:46,500
And where would he get
radiation poisoning?

35
00:01:46,821 --> 00:01:48,189
I couldn't say.

36
00:01:48,296 --> 00:01:50,781
Unfortunately, I didn't have
much time with the body

37
00:01:50,807 --> 00:01:53,716
before Mayor Blossom claimed
it and whisked it away.

38
00:01:53,742 --> 00:01:56,820
The melting man, as you call him,

39
00:01:56,984 --> 00:02:01,960
was an employee of the mayor's
maple factory is my understanding.

40
00:02:02,252 --> 00:02:04,593
That stinks like a rotten fish.

41
00:02:08,718 --> 00:02:11,484
Ethel, are you ready to walk to school?

42
00:02:11,773 --> 00:02:13,929
Betty, are you sure you
don't want your mom

43
00:02:13,955 --> 00:02:15,742
to drive you and Ethel to school?

44
00:02:16,218 --> 00:02:19,201
Under no circumstances. Ethel, come on.
We're gonna be late.

45
00:02:19,226 --> 00:02:20,680
Don't worry, Hal.

46
00:02:20,705 --> 00:02:22,639
One day it'll be raining cats and dogs,

47
00:02:22,664 --> 00:02:24,591
and she will finally let
me give her a ride.

48
00:02:24,617 --> 00:02:26,575
- You'll see.
- No, I won't.

49
00:02:26,601 --> 00:02:29,921
Ethel, Veronica and I signed up
for driver's education at school.

50
00:02:30,051 --> 00:02:32,945
So, pretty soon I'll be driving
myself wherever I want.

51
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:36,398
_

52
00:02:41,268 --> 00:02:44,742
Great news from Coach
Parsley over at Camp Evans.

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,773
You are in, Reggie.

54
00:02:48,255 --> 00:02:50,349
- No foolin', Coach?
- In where?

55
00:02:50,375 --> 00:02:52,712
Only the best summer basketball camp

56
00:02:52,737 --> 00:02:55,411
for high-schoolers in the country.

57
00:02:55,436 --> 00:02:57,148
That's wonderful news.

58
00:02:57,174 --> 00:02:58,505
Congratulations, Reggie.

59
00:02:58,531 --> 00:03:00,789
And what about you, Bill Shakespeare?

60
00:03:00,839 --> 00:03:02,312
What are your plans?

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,687
Guess there's no summer
camp for poetry, is there?

62
00:03:07,008 --> 00:03:09,424
_

63
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:12,602
There'll be plenty for
Archie to do in town, Frank.

64
00:03:12,627 --> 00:03:14,430
He can pick up his old job at Pop's,

65
00:03:14,455 --> 00:03:16,546
or he can help me down
at the dress shop.

66
00:03:17,522 --> 00:03:19,038
You hear that?

67
00:03:19,539 --> 00:03:21,567
You can work in your mom's dress shop.

68
00:03:22,412 --> 00:03:24,945
I bet you wish you didn't
quit the team now.

69
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:30,413
Let's motor, sis.

70
00:03:30,708 --> 00:03:32,741
Train's leaving with or without you.

71
00:03:41,309 --> 00:03:44,113
And who, pray tell, was that?

72
00:03:44,139 --> 00:03:45,245
You enlisting, Dad?

73
00:03:45,271 --> 00:03:47,596
Oh, don't be asinine, the both of you.

74
00:03:47,792 --> 00:03:50,062
That was General Taylor from Washington.

75
00:03:50,088 --> 00:03:51,992
He was delivering unto me...

76
00:03:52,449 --> 00:03:54,867
Well, a gift.

77
00:03:54,893 --> 00:03:56,297
Come into my study,

78
00:03:56,565 --> 00:03:58,088
I want you to see it.

79
00:04:07,385 --> 00:04:10,233
What godforsaken creature is that?

80
00:04:10,259 --> 00:04:12,132
This is Moloch, Cheryl.

81
00:04:12,321 --> 00:04:14,289
Ancient pagan deity.

82
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,664
It can only be appeased
through child sacrifice.

83
00:04:18,718 --> 00:04:20,805
You should both keep Moloch in mind,

84
00:04:20,831 --> 00:04:23,414
should you ever be inclined
to give me any more grief.

85
00:04:28,882 --> 00:04:31,390
_

86
00:04:33,151 --> 00:04:34,203
Ethel?

87
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,786
Look, I don't mean to open old wounds,

88
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:41,692
but that melting man
outside the Babylonium...

89
00:04:41,718 --> 00:04:43,258
- What about him?
- You told Ben

90
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,043
that he was wearing the same
uniform that your father did

91
00:04:46,193 --> 00:04:48,255
at the Blossom maple factory.

92
00:04:48,281 --> 00:04:50,757
I was just wondering what
your father actually did there.

93
00:04:50,783 --> 00:04:52,049
He was a janitor.

94
00:04:52,437 --> 00:04:54,630
- Why?
- Did he ever get sick?

95
00:04:54,655 --> 00:04:57,140
My mom sometimes said
that he started drinking

96
00:04:57,165 --> 00:04:59,390
to help deal with the
chronic pain he felt

97
00:04:59,415 --> 00:05:01,415
in his stomach and his joints.

98
00:05:01,431 --> 00:05:03,875
And also because he was losing his hair.

99
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:05,976
Golly.

100
00:05:06,002 --> 00:05:08,140
But, Jughead, why are you
asking me about this?

101
00:05:11,615 --> 00:05:13,536
Look, I can't say for certain yet,

102
00:05:13,562 --> 00:05:16,312
but the fact that your
father and the melting man,

103
00:05:16,429 --> 00:05:18,476
and Mr. Rayberry, now
that I think about it,

104
00:05:18,502 --> 00:05:20,382
all worked at the Blossom maple factory

105
00:05:20,407 --> 00:05:22,398
and all bit the linoleum

106
00:05:22,424 --> 00:05:25,132
in, shall we say, bizarre
circumstances...

107
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,030
Well, I just don't think
that's a coincidence.

108
00:05:28,056 --> 00:05:30,117
I think the Blossoms
are hiding something.

109
00:05:30,143 --> 00:05:31,500
And I'm going to find out what.

110
00:05:31,526 --> 00:05:34,609
So I can get us, you,
me, Mrs. Rayberry...

111
00:05:35,381 --> 00:05:36,788
some closure.

112
00:05:37,469 --> 00:05:38,664
What?

113
00:05:39,653 --> 00:05:40,803
What is it?

114
00:05:40,829 --> 00:05:43,459
Jughead, I appreciate what you're doing.

115
00:05:43,734 --> 00:05:46,546
But I'm trying to move on with my life.

116
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,106
I'm applying for my driver's license.

117
00:05:49,131 --> 00:05:52,828
I just got my car that I won
as Miss Riverdale Teen Queen,

118
00:05:53,222 --> 00:05:54,807
I'm going steady with Ben.

119
00:05:54,971 --> 00:05:56,039
Hi.

120
00:05:58,662 --> 00:06:02,119
You're going steady with our Ben?
Ben Button?

121
00:06:02,144 --> 00:06:06,031
In any case, I'm trying to put the
past where it belongs, behind me.

122
00:06:06,057 --> 00:06:08,460
All right, class, please
finish taking your seats.

123
00:06:11,501 --> 00:06:14,044
Mayor Blossom and Principal
Featherhead have asked me to show you

124
00:06:14,069 --> 00:06:16,786
this informational film about
what to do in the event

125
00:06:16,812 --> 00:06:19,531
of an atomic bomb
detonating in Riverdale.

126
00:06:21,796 --> 00:06:25,382
Now, we must be ready
for a new danger...

127
00:06:25,515 --> 00:06:27,289
the atomic bomb.

128
00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:29,104
You will know when it comes.

129
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:32,105
There is a bright flash
brighter than the sun.

130
00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:35,695
If you are not ready, it could
hurt you in different ways.

131
00:06:36,031 --> 00:06:37,919
It could knock you down hard

132
00:06:37,945 --> 00:06:40,531
or throw you against a tree or a wall.

133
00:06:40,557 --> 00:06:44,054
It is such a big explosion,
it can smash in buildings,

134
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,684
and knock signboards over,

135
00:06:45,709 --> 00:06:47,625
and break windows all over town.

136
00:06:47,650 --> 00:06:49,861
Jeepers, that atomic bomb movie

137
00:06:49,887 --> 00:06:51,628
really gave me the zorros.

138
00:06:51,955 --> 00:06:53,410
It should have.

139
00:06:53,436 --> 00:06:55,677
That dumb movie was telling
us to "duck and cover,"

140
00:06:55,703 --> 00:06:58,654
as if flying glass is going to
be the biggest of our worries.

141
00:06:58,679 --> 00:07:02,747
In truth, most of us wouldn't even
likely survive an atomic explosion.

142
00:07:02,773 --> 00:07:04,573
What are you playing at, Jug?

143
00:07:04,598 --> 00:07:07,789
Have any of you seen the
newsreels from Japan?

144
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:10,841
If a bomb drops on or near Riverdale,

145
00:07:10,867 --> 00:07:13,799
all of us are vaporized in
less than a nanosecond.

146
00:07:13,824 --> 00:07:16,177
Not to mention the radiation
we would all be exposed to,

147
00:07:16,203 --> 00:07:18,630
even if we managed to survive
the initial detonation.

148
00:07:18,656 --> 00:07:21,851
Well, I know what I'd do if a
bomb were heading our way,

149
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,578
I'd sequester myself in the
Pembrooke sub-sub-basement.

150
00:07:25,749 --> 00:07:28,289
It's like a little
underground city down there.

151
00:07:28,578 --> 00:07:31,132
You'd be invited, of course, Juggiekins.

152
00:07:32,713 --> 00:07:35,559
I would seek shelter in the
abandoned Blossom mines.

153
00:07:35,585 --> 00:07:38,387
They have stood strong since
before the Revolutionary War.

154
00:07:38,413 --> 00:07:41,163
Isn't it dark and cold
down in those mines?

155
00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:44,743
Why, yes, Toni, it is.

156
00:07:44,768 --> 00:07:48,257
I would have to find some
way to stay cozy and warm.

157
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,707
I'd head back to Duck Creek.
We've got a well so deep

158
00:07:51,731 --> 00:07:53,747
no bomb or radiation could reach it.

159
00:07:53,773 --> 00:07:55,624
Well, why stop at Duck Creek?

160
00:07:55,765 --> 00:07:57,359
I mean, if we hear these sirens,

161
00:07:57,385 --> 00:08:00,794
I'm hopping in my hot rod, I'm grabbin'
my mom and I'm heading out West.

162
00:08:00,820 --> 00:08:04,312
There is no way these radiation
clouds are gonna cross the Rockies.

163
00:08:04,578 --> 00:08:06,362
Out West sounds nice.

164
00:08:06,616 --> 00:08:07,766
Sure does.

165
00:08:07,791 --> 00:08:10,671
You can't outrun an atomic bomb, Archie.

166
00:08:10,697 --> 00:08:13,076
No matter how screamin'
fast your hot rod is.

167
00:08:13,101 --> 00:08:17,167
Guys, I read somewhere that if
you are inside a refrigerator,

168
00:08:17,192 --> 00:08:19,735
when the big one hits, you're safe.

169
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,661
But then you're inside a refrigerator.

170
00:08:21,687 --> 00:08:24,828
Yeah, Kev, what would you
do about food and water?

171
00:08:25,123 --> 00:08:27,406
I mean, I'd be inside of a refrigerator.

172
00:08:28,250 --> 00:08:30,007
I'm not holing up anywhere.

173
00:08:30,033 --> 00:08:33,515
Come on, guys. We can't let
this bomb get us down.

174
00:08:33,578 --> 00:08:36,820
In places like Nevada, where the US
does most of its atomic testing,

175
00:08:36,846 --> 00:08:39,005
people have bomb shelters in
case something goes wrong.

176
00:08:39,031 --> 00:08:41,203
That's what it would
take to be truly safe,

177
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:43,870
a lead-lined underground bunker.

178
00:08:43,958 --> 00:08:46,052
If Russia wanted to bomb us,

179
00:08:46,078 --> 00:08:48,218
wouldn't they target larger cities

180
00:08:48,244 --> 00:08:50,483
like Los Angeles or New York?

181
00:08:50,509 --> 00:08:52,255
People who live in the sticks like us,

182
00:08:52,281 --> 00:08:54,661
we don't actually have to worry about

183
00:08:54,687 --> 00:08:57,523
nuclear attacks, do we?

184
00:08:57,819 --> 00:08:59,570
I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

185
00:09:00,090 --> 00:09:02,416
An atomic bomb could drop anywhere.

186
00:09:02,582 --> 00:09:05,039
Even here, in Riverdale.

187
00:09:07,281 --> 00:09:10,523
www.subtitulamos.tv

188
00:09:13,944 --> 00:09:17,109
It says, "Make rope end
wrap around the rope."

189
00:09:17,469 --> 00:09:18,765
Whatever that means.

190
00:09:18,841 --> 00:09:20,731
Hey, what are you fellas up to?

191
00:09:20,757 --> 00:09:24,317
We're trying to tie a sailor's
knot and failing miserably.

192
00:09:24,343 --> 00:09:26,609
A sailor's knot? I can show you how.

193
00:09:26,643 --> 00:09:28,875
Don't you remember your
Adventure Scouts training?

194
00:09:30,212 --> 00:09:32,475
"The rabbit goes out the hole,

195
00:09:32,826 --> 00:09:34,265
around the tree,

196
00:09:35,514 --> 00:09:36,991
back through the hole again."

197
00:09:37,838 --> 00:09:39,312
You should get a nice loop.

198
00:09:40,273 --> 00:09:41,989
What are you guys practicing
this for anyways?

199
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:43,768
You do realize if the bomb hits,

200
00:09:43,794 --> 00:09:46,000
there's not much a sailor's
knot can do for you.

201
00:09:47,597 --> 00:09:50,789
Kevin and I are considering
joining the Merchant Marines.

202
00:09:51,101 --> 00:09:53,045
Merchant Marines? Wow.

203
00:09:53,359 --> 00:09:55,411
What is that? Part of
the Navy or something?

204
00:09:55,437 --> 00:09:56,898
No, it's a civilian job.

205
00:09:56,924 --> 00:09:59,609
They pay you to work on a cargo
ship and travel around the world.

206
00:10:01,162 --> 00:10:03,474
You know, Archie, you might
be keen on this too.

207
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,489
A lot of great writers
were Merchant Marines.

208
00:10:05,515 --> 00:10:07,200
A lot of the Beats have served too.

209
00:10:07,226 --> 00:10:10,445
Ginsberg and Kerouac both did
their time on the seven seas.

210
00:10:10,841 --> 00:10:13,453
"Adventure awaits you
on the open water."

211
00:10:14,788 --> 00:10:17,864
I'll say this much, I wouldn't
hate getting away from my uncle.

212
00:10:17,890 --> 00:10:21,259
Seeing the world, having adventures,
it would enrich my writing.

213
00:10:21,285 --> 00:10:23,492
I mean, that sounds super swell to me.

214
00:10:24,260 --> 00:10:25,759
And I do love tying knots.

215
00:10:25,785 --> 00:10:27,567
If you're serious, there's a
recruiter coming tomorrow.

216
00:10:27,593 --> 00:10:30,953
You can ask him questions and
hear what he has to say.

217
00:10:31,282 --> 00:10:35,437
Ladies, you are the drivers of tomorrow.

218
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:40,440
As such, it is important
to learn to be alert,

219
00:10:40,465 --> 00:10:45,358
confident, conscientious
motor vehicle operators.

220
00:10:45,383 --> 00:10:46,765
Stop sign.

221
00:10:48,212 --> 00:10:52,445
Driving is not a right, as
many young men believe.

222
00:10:52,608 --> 00:10:54,148
It is a privilege...

223
00:10:54,479 --> 00:10:56,033
and a responsibility.

224
00:10:56,059 --> 00:10:58,515
Upcoming left turn.

225
00:11:00,007 --> 00:11:01,578
That's wonderful, girls.

226
00:11:01,662 --> 00:11:03,757
Now, let's bring our cars into park.

227
00:11:04,359 --> 00:11:06,171
And shake it out.

228
00:11:06,197 --> 00:11:08,044
Very good. Excellent.

229
00:11:08,070 --> 00:11:11,731
Now, your homework for
tonight is to rest,

230
00:11:11,757 --> 00:11:15,648
because tomorrow, your true
test of skills begins.

231
00:11:15,918 --> 00:11:19,914
We will be getting into a
real, working automobile

232
00:11:21,154 --> 00:11:23,390
to practice parallel parking.

233
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:28,812
How was school today, boys?

234
00:11:28,914 --> 00:11:30,294
Anything interesting happen?

235
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,709
We watched a movie that
taught us what to do

236
00:11:31,734 --> 00:11:33,835
if the Russians drop a bomb on us.

237
00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:36,540
I'm thinking of joining
the Merchant Marines.

238
00:11:36,718 --> 00:11:39,325
Well, as long as you
finish high school first,

239
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,875
and when that day comes, I hope you'll
still consider going to college.

240
00:11:43,304 --> 00:11:45,020
Well, now, wait a minute, Mary.

241
00:11:45,046 --> 00:11:48,117
Merchant Marines sounds like
a solid, sensible idea.

242
00:11:48,259 --> 00:11:51,914
Much better than going to some
college to pursue poetry.

243
00:11:54,104 --> 00:11:55,951
Actually, the Merchant
Marines would be a way

244
00:11:55,976 --> 00:11:57,822
for me to pursue my poetry, Uncle Frank.

245
00:11:57,906 --> 00:12:00,738
A lot of Beats would join the Merchant
Marines to learn more about themselves

246
00:12:00,763 --> 00:12:02,953
and the world and then
to write about it.

247
00:12:03,226 --> 00:12:05,067
You'd know that if you
ever cracked open a book.

248
00:12:05,093 --> 00:12:06,208
What was that?

249
00:12:06,234 --> 00:12:08,437
Well, no one is joining
anything tonight.

250
00:12:08,463 --> 00:12:11,593
So can we please just
finish our supper in peace?

251
00:12:12,794 --> 00:12:15,085
Well, Dilton, what's the occasion?

252
00:12:16,999 --> 00:12:19,147
I just came by because...

253
00:12:19,593 --> 00:12:22,455
after the melting man and that
movie my dad showed in class,

254
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,481
I know you're unsettled.

255
00:12:24,507 --> 00:12:27,505
Sue me. I don't wanna die
in an atomic attack.

256
00:12:27,531 --> 00:12:31,505
Yeah, except, you don't
have to worry, Jughead.

257
00:12:31,531 --> 00:12:34,653
You, you're one of my best pals.
You're my comic book buddy.

258
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,200
If anything bad were to actually happen,

259
00:12:37,226 --> 00:12:39,939
I'd take care of you. You'd be safe.

260
00:12:39,965 --> 00:12:44,804
Well, that's swell of you to say,
Dilton, but how would I be safe?

261
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:46,968
It's...

262
00:12:47,287 --> 00:12:50,359
It would probably be easier
if I just showed you.

263
00:12:55,078 --> 00:12:58,742
Ho-ho-holy crapola, Dilton.

264
00:13:00,127 --> 00:13:02,887
How does your family have a bunker?

265
00:13:02,912 --> 00:13:04,454
My dad built it.

266
00:13:04,648 --> 00:13:07,341
He says we're deep enough
to survive an atomic blast

267
00:13:07,367 --> 00:13:10,025
and any radiation after the blast.

268
00:13:10,213 --> 00:13:12,389
Am I missing something?

269
00:13:12,617 --> 00:13:15,367
Does your dad think that
Riverdale could be a target?

270
00:13:18,644 --> 00:13:19,812
Dilton?

271
00:13:22,672 --> 00:13:24,476
What does your dad know that we don't?

272
00:13:25,873 --> 00:13:27,601
Nothing for certain.

273
00:13:28,202 --> 00:13:31,140
But about a year before
Ethel's folks were killed,

274
00:13:32,089 --> 00:13:34,296
her dad showed up to our house...

275
00:13:35,505 --> 00:13:37,444
with this.

276
00:13:40,689 --> 00:13:43,663
Mr. Muggs wanted to see
if it was worth anything.

277
00:13:44,014 --> 00:13:47,304
He figured since my dad was a
science teacher, he'd know.

278
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:49,117
What is it?

279
00:13:49,501 --> 00:13:50,836
Palladium.

280
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,809
Mr. Muggs said he swiped it from work.

281
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,593
- The maple factory?
- I guess so.

282
00:13:57,706 --> 00:14:00,597
He said Clifford Blossom was
sitting on a pile of it

283
00:14:00,622 --> 00:14:03,210
and doing something with it.

284
00:14:03,915 --> 00:14:06,601
That's when my dad started
building this bunker.

285
00:14:07,163 --> 00:14:09,663
Because Clifford Blossom was,

286
00:14:09,712 --> 00:14:12,367
or is, doing something with palladium?

287
00:14:13,113 --> 00:14:14,589
A secret something?

288
00:14:15,374 --> 00:14:16,591
Worth killing for?

289
00:14:16,617 --> 00:14:20,351
In its inert state, palladium
is basically harmless.

290
00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:22,679
But in its purest state,

291
00:14:22,705 --> 00:14:25,097
concentrated and compressed,

292
00:14:25,632 --> 00:14:27,278
some scientists speculate

293
00:14:27,304 --> 00:14:29,974
it could be more
volatile than plutonium,

294
00:14:29,999 --> 00:14:32,107
and if detonated,

295
00:14:32,265 --> 00:14:35,421
more destructive than a hydrogen bomb.

296
00:14:37,354 --> 00:14:39,201
This is starting to ring a bell for me.

297
00:14:39,226 --> 00:14:42,247
Not just a bell, in fact,
a four-alarm siren.

298
00:14:42,272 --> 00:14:44,778
Sure enough, I'd recently
had my nose in a story

299
00:14:44,804 --> 00:14:47,184
about a palladium bomb
destroying a small town

300
00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:50,168
by my former, deceased
mentor Brad Rayberry,

301
00:14:50,193 --> 00:14:52,765
who, at one point, worked
at the Blossom factory.

302
00:14:52,791 --> 00:14:54,523
Had he seen or heard something there

303
00:14:54,549 --> 00:14:56,968
about palladium that had
inspired his story?

304
00:14:56,993 --> 00:14:58,993
_

305
00:14:59,054 --> 00:15:02,075
That's the emergency siren!
As we were warned!

306
00:15:02,101 --> 00:15:05,148
This is it! This is the big one!

307
00:15:11,758 --> 00:15:14,109
Jughead! Duck and cover!

308
00:15:14,135 --> 00:15:16,419
Jughead? Jughead? What are you doing?

309
00:15:16,445 --> 00:15:17,674
Get under your desk!

310
00:15:17,699 --> 00:15:19,110
No! Jughead!

311
00:15:19,242 --> 00:15:21,077
Get away from the...

312
00:15:35,847 --> 00:15:39,406
Damn you and your
fearmongering, Jughead Jones.

313
00:15:46,476 --> 00:15:50,390
_

314
00:15:50,508 --> 00:15:54,273
_

315
00:15:54,390 --> 00:15:58,812
_

316
00:15:59,054 --> 00:16:00,585
_

317
00:16:00,694 --> 00:16:03,163
_

318
00:16:03,188 --> 00:16:08,257
_

319
00:16:08,282 --> 00:16:09,929
_

320
00:16:10,094 --> 00:16:11,516
_

321
00:16:11,542 --> 00:16:13,624
_

322
00:16:13,718 --> 00:16:18,124
_

323
00:16:30,171 --> 00:16:32,278
As a Merchant Marine, you'll
be traveling the globe

324
00:16:32,304 --> 00:16:35,056
on the world's most
technologically advanced ships.

325
00:16:35,081 --> 00:16:36,801
You will work and train alongside

326
00:16:36,827 --> 00:16:38,942
this country's best and
brightest young men,

327
00:16:38,968 --> 00:16:41,867
all eager to experience
life to the fullest.

328
00:16:42,392 --> 00:16:45,387
- Yes, son.
- Would we have time to explore,

329
00:16:45,413 --> 00:16:48,156
places we'd be visiting, you know,
really get to soak them up?

330
00:16:48,181 --> 00:16:49,592
This isn't a pleasure cruise.

331
00:16:49,734 --> 00:16:51,549
It's something you should
all know right now,

332
00:16:51,583 --> 00:16:53,759
no one here is guaranteed a spot.

333
00:16:56,836 --> 00:16:59,226
Cheryl, hi-ho.

334
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:03,471
Has anything strange been
happening at your house lately?

335
00:17:03,497 --> 00:17:04,725
Mayhaps.

336
00:17:05,249 --> 00:17:06,645
Why do you care?

337
00:17:06,671 --> 00:17:08,741
I heard you mention those
abandoned mines yesterday.

338
00:17:08,766 --> 00:17:11,666
And I was just wondering if they're
close to your family's maple factory.

339
00:17:11,692 --> 00:17:14,288
The factory is practically
right on top of them, yes.

340
00:17:14,409 --> 00:17:15,546
Okay...

341
00:17:16,393 --> 00:17:19,153
Look, Cheryl, this is gonna
sound like gobbledygook.

342
00:17:19,187 --> 00:17:21,356
But I have reason to believe that
your father is up to no good.

343
00:17:21,381 --> 00:17:24,147
I think he is involved
in the milkman murders,

344
00:17:24,173 --> 00:17:27,195
not to mention the melting man,
and I think that those mines

345
00:17:27,335 --> 00:17:29,223
are actually palladium mines,

346
00:17:29,249 --> 00:17:31,067
and that they're not as
abandoned as you think.

347
00:17:31,093 --> 00:17:33,606
Jughead, there's no love lost
between my father and I.

348
00:17:33,632 --> 00:17:35,825
In fact, I'm fairly certain
if he had the chance,

349
00:17:35,851 --> 00:17:38,707
he would sacrifice me to a pagan
god he worships named Moloch.

350
00:17:38,733 --> 00:17:41,948
But to your point, he has been
meeting with an Army general

351
00:17:41,973 --> 00:17:43,804
in his study recently,

352
00:17:43,851 --> 00:17:47,041
and I did overhear him
and my mother last night

353
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,565
speaking what I believe was Russian.

354
00:17:49,590 --> 00:17:51,796
Holy moly!

355
00:17:52,694 --> 00:17:55,012
Do you think you can get
in there and play gumshoe?

356
00:17:55,038 --> 00:17:56,441
Just poke around, snoop a little,

357
00:17:56,467 --> 00:17:58,120
see if you find anything incriminating?

358
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:30,127
I am very pleased to announce
that since all of you passed

359
00:18:30,152 --> 00:18:32,004
both the written and practical portions

360
00:18:32,030 --> 00:18:34,088
of your driver's education exam,

361
00:18:34,113 --> 00:18:35,856
we will all be taking a field trip

362
00:18:35,882 --> 00:18:38,623
to the Riverdale Department
of Motor Vehicles

363
00:18:38,649 --> 00:18:40,390
at the end of the week.

364
00:18:41,294 --> 00:18:44,489
But girls, this is very important.

365
00:18:44,514 --> 00:18:47,004
In order to obtain your legal license,

366
00:18:47,030 --> 00:18:49,999
you must bring a copy of your
birth certificate with you.

367
00:18:50,085 --> 00:18:51,387
The DMV needs to make sure

368
00:18:51,413 --> 00:18:53,812
that none of you are Russian spies.

369
00:19:04,129 --> 00:19:06,757
I was wondering why the
light was on out here.

370
00:19:07,036 --> 00:19:08,534
Let me guess,

371
00:19:08,929 --> 00:19:10,645
this is for the Merchant Marines.

372
00:19:10,928 --> 00:19:12,426
The recruiter said

373
00:19:12,452 --> 00:19:15,520
everyone rows at least an hour
a day when they're out at sea

374
00:19:15,607 --> 00:19:17,091
to stay in shape, so...

375
00:19:17,734 --> 00:19:19,862
I'm just getting a head start.

376
00:19:20,376 --> 00:19:22,179
Listen, about that...

377
00:19:22,561 --> 00:19:23,796
Can we talk?

378
00:19:24,180 --> 00:19:25,843
Man-to-man for a minute.

379
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:29,882
I know I'm not your father.

380
00:19:30,886 --> 00:19:32,312
But just so you know,

381
00:19:33,259 --> 00:19:36,437
I want what's best for you, Archie,
just the same as he would want.

382
00:19:41,407 --> 00:19:42,687
What is that?

383
00:19:43,573 --> 00:19:45,202
Your old man's dog tags.

384
00:19:45,336 --> 00:19:47,053
I know he'd want you to have them,

385
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:50,702
just like I'll bet he'd want you to
quit this Merchant Marines business,

386
00:19:51,275 --> 00:19:53,632
join the Army, enlist,

387
00:19:53,975 --> 00:19:55,546
just like he did.

388
00:19:57,331 --> 00:19:58,787
Oh, you didn't know?

389
00:20:00,601 --> 00:20:02,707
Your father wasn't drafted, Archie.

390
00:20:02,733 --> 00:20:04,515
He volunteered for the Army.

391
00:20:04,726 --> 00:20:09,008
Because he knew what being a real
man and a good American meant.

392
00:20:09,033 --> 00:20:12,490
He believed there was no greater
duty than serving this country

393
00:20:12,515 --> 00:20:15,257
and fighting for democracy and freedom.

394
00:20:15,639 --> 00:20:17,897
And you wanna be like
your father, don't you?

395
00:20:20,348 --> 00:20:21,569
Well, yeah, I...

396
00:20:21,874 --> 00:20:23,723
try to be like him every day.

397
00:20:23,749 --> 00:20:26,765
Well, then drop this poetry
nonsense and join the Army.

398
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,333
Become the kind of man he'd be proud of.

399
00:20:29,358 --> 00:20:31,726
The man I know is inside you,

400
00:20:31,958 --> 00:20:33,546
fighting to get out.

401
00:20:35,046 --> 00:20:37,468
And the best part about
joining the Army...

402
00:20:38,897 --> 00:20:40,999
you don't have to wait until graduation.

403
00:21:07,334 --> 00:21:09,966
Let's see what you're hiding, Daddy.

404
00:21:46,504 --> 00:21:48,350
A draft?

405
00:22:40,533 --> 00:22:41,997
Good morning, honey.

406
00:22:42,023 --> 00:22:43,809
One waffle or two?

407
00:22:46,060 --> 00:22:47,661
Are those your dad's...

408
00:22:48,008 --> 00:22:50,309
Dog tags. Yeah.

409
00:22:50,891 --> 00:22:52,708
Uncle Frank gave 'em to me.

410
00:22:52,997 --> 00:22:54,809
Why would he have done that?

411
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,480
Oh, I think I know.

412
00:22:59,615 --> 00:23:02,254
But maybe you should sit down
so we can talk about it.

413
00:23:11,085 --> 00:23:13,856
Betty, can we talk for a second?

414
00:23:14,022 --> 00:23:15,161
Sure.

415
00:23:16,327 --> 00:23:18,522
Are things not hunky-dory?

416
00:23:18,571 --> 00:23:21,395
No, there is a problem...

417
00:23:21,791 --> 00:23:24,215
I don't have my birth certificate.

418
00:23:24,533 --> 00:23:26,098
It's at my house.

419
00:23:27,337 --> 00:23:28,746
Where my parents...

420
00:23:29,176 --> 00:23:31,244
Don't worry about it.
I'll grab it for you.

421
00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:32,603
Really, Betty?

422
00:23:32,770 --> 00:23:36,549
Sure. Yeah. I'll book it there after
school before we go to the DMV.

423
00:23:36,575 --> 00:23:39,760
Do you have any idea where your
birth certificate would be?

424
00:23:39,786 --> 00:23:41,213
My mom had a crafting desk

425
00:23:41,239 --> 00:23:43,598
where she kept important
papers and things.

426
00:23:43,726 --> 00:23:45,184
I bet you it's in there.

427
00:23:56,664 --> 00:23:58,118
Did you find something?

428
00:23:58,175 --> 00:24:00,631
Did I ever? You were right
on the beam, Jughead.

429
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:02,377
- About what part?
- Everything.

430
00:24:02,403 --> 00:24:04,025
Last night whilst snooping
through Daddy's study,

431
00:24:04,051 --> 00:24:05,318
I stumbled upon a secret panel

432
00:24:05,344 --> 00:24:07,145
and found a bunch of these...

433
00:24:10,927 --> 00:24:12,754
And matching uniforms to boot.

434
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:15,069
Holy Toledo!

435
00:24:16,372 --> 00:24:19,295
That milkman must've been
working for your father.

436
00:24:19,686 --> 00:24:21,783
Doing his bidding?

437
00:24:21,808 --> 00:24:23,480
Cheryl, are you in danger?

438
00:24:23,505 --> 00:24:24,936
No more than usual.

439
00:24:25,238 --> 00:24:27,912
I also went to the mines last night
and you were right about those too.

440
00:24:27,938 --> 00:24:30,022
They are palladium mines...

441
00:24:30,338 --> 00:24:32,787
Very much not abandoned.

442
00:24:33,341 --> 00:24:36,707
Meet me on the Thornhill grounds tonight
after dark and bring your camera,

443
00:24:36,733 --> 00:24:39,686
and pray an atomic disaster doesn't
befall us all before then.

444
00:25:39,712 --> 00:25:41,173
What? Wha...

445
00:25:45,805 --> 00:25:48,752
What was my dad paying the Muggs' for?

446
00:26:02,499 --> 00:26:04,219
So Frank, Archie told me

447
00:26:04,245 --> 00:26:06,991
about your little talk in
the garage last night.

448
00:26:08,631 --> 00:26:09,952
Did he now?

449
00:26:10,413 --> 00:26:12,801
- And what did he say?
- A few things.

450
00:26:12,827 --> 00:26:16,577
But it sounded to me like you
used his father, your brother,

451
00:26:16,603 --> 00:26:19,693
to try to manipulate my son
into joining the Army.

452
00:26:20,155 --> 00:26:21,555
How dare you, Frank?

453
00:26:21,581 --> 00:26:24,116
Especially when you
yourself never served.

454
00:26:25,648 --> 00:26:28,669
The Army is the best
place for him, Mary.

455
00:26:28,804 --> 00:26:31,567
- It'll set him straight.
- Let's not mince words, Frank.

456
00:26:31,593 --> 00:26:33,497
We all know what this is really about.

457
00:26:33,523 --> 00:26:36,439
It's about you not wanting
Archie to write poetry.

458
00:26:36,464 --> 00:26:38,288
He's on the road to ruin.

459
00:26:38,452 --> 00:26:41,059
He's... Well, he's lost.

460
00:26:41,085 --> 00:26:44,036
He's not lost. He's 17.

461
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:45,848
He's got his whole life ahead of him.

462
00:26:45,874 --> 00:26:48,973
Whether that's joining the
Merchant Marines, or the Army,

463
00:26:48,999 --> 00:26:51,889
or going to college to study
literature and poetry,

464
00:26:51,914 --> 00:26:54,072
after he finishes high school.

465
00:26:54,098 --> 00:26:58,140
But he'll be the one who decides
his path, not his bullying uncle.

466
00:26:59,792 --> 00:27:02,241
I can't have you here anymore, Frank.

467
00:27:02,387 --> 00:27:04,046
It's time for you to move out.

468
00:27:04,971 --> 00:27:07,551
Mary, you called me here to help.

469
00:27:07,577 --> 00:27:09,301
And now she's telling
you to hit the road.

470
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:11,648
And who's gonna be the man
of the house when I'm gone?

471
00:27:11,689 --> 00:27:12,882
I am.

472
00:27:12,937 --> 00:27:14,989
Not that I need one.

473
00:27:15,015 --> 00:27:17,645
I am the woman of this house, after all.

474
00:27:17,671 --> 00:27:20,221
I'm the one who pays the
mortgage around here.

475
00:27:20,304 --> 00:27:23,718
Well, I suppose I could shack
up with my old pal Tom Keller.

476
00:27:24,140 --> 00:27:27,446
I hear he's been handed a similar
set of marching orders recently.

477
00:27:27,471 --> 00:27:28,622
Wonderful.

478
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:30,561
That works out for everyone then.

479
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:43,059
Betty. How you doing, kiddo?

480
00:27:43,085 --> 00:27:46,538
Why were you two writing
checks once a month,

481
00:27:46,747 --> 00:27:49,615
year after year, to the Muggs'?

482
00:27:53,062 --> 00:27:57,379
Because, Betty, Mrs. Muggs
was our housekeeper.

483
00:27:57,405 --> 00:28:00,934
Those must have been
payments for those services.

484
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,786
That doesn't make any sense.

485
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,585
Some of these checks are
from two years ago.

486
00:28:05,843 --> 00:28:07,739
If Mrs. Muggs were ever our housekeeper,

487
00:28:07,765 --> 00:28:10,569
she hadn't been for as
long as I can remember.

488
00:28:11,180 --> 00:28:14,601
Oh, and... and what's the
story behind this photo?

489
00:28:15,972 --> 00:28:17,616
Who's that baby?

490
00:28:17,666 --> 00:28:20,773
Because it's not me and it's not Polly.

491
00:28:20,898 --> 00:28:22,350
That's Ethel.

492
00:28:22,744 --> 00:28:28,648
Why did the Muggs' have a photo
of you holding Ethel as a baby?

493
00:28:29,609 --> 00:28:31,902
Because the Muggs' asked

494
00:28:31,927 --> 00:28:34,616
if I would be Ethel's godfather.

495
00:28:34,887 --> 00:28:36,506
And I agreed.

496
00:28:36,532 --> 00:28:38,229
So why haven't I heard about this?

497
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,343
Why hasn't anyone?

498
00:28:40,434 --> 00:28:41,764
I don't know...

499
00:28:41,790 --> 00:28:43,270
Stop, Hal.

500
00:28:44,884 --> 00:28:46,609
Just stop.

501
00:28:47,900 --> 00:28:49,343
It's over.

502
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:51,460
Can't you see that?

503
00:28:54,820 --> 00:28:58,351
You're Ethel's father, aren't you?

504
00:28:59,215 --> 00:29:01,616
Why don't you go for a walk, dear?

505
00:29:03,096 --> 00:29:05,984
So that Betty and I can
have a little chat.

506
00:29:13,099 --> 00:29:16,083
Mildred Muggs did clean our house

507
00:29:16,109 --> 00:29:18,898
before you were born. That part is true.

508
00:29:19,637 --> 00:29:23,663
And at some point, she and your
father started having an affair.

509
00:29:24,577 --> 00:29:27,114
And I suspected it for a long time,

510
00:29:27,140 --> 00:29:28,959
but it was finally confirmed when...

511
00:29:28,984 --> 00:29:30,796
Mrs. Muggs got pregnant.

512
00:29:30,899 --> 00:29:33,877
Your father admitted everything.

513
00:29:33,902 --> 00:29:35,952
He was crying,

514
00:29:36,179 --> 00:29:38,926
apologizing. He didn't know what to do.

515
00:29:38,951 --> 00:29:42,413
I mean, if any whiff of
the scandal got out,

516
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:44,702
the consequences,

517
00:29:44,957 --> 00:29:49,153
for the station, for...
for us, for our family...

518
00:29:49,405 --> 00:29:50,974
So you stayed with him?

519
00:29:51,093 --> 00:29:52,835
I had no other choice.

520
00:29:52,965 --> 00:29:54,437
Yes, I stayed.

521
00:29:54,662 --> 00:29:56,609
But I... I handled it.

522
00:29:56,976 --> 00:29:58,583
I made a deal with the Muggs'

523
00:29:58,609 --> 00:30:01,609
that if they agreed to raise
the baby as their own

524
00:30:01,635 --> 00:30:03,984
and keep our secret thta we would...

525
00:30:04,437 --> 00:30:07,937
financially support the
child until she turned 16.

526
00:30:08,067 --> 00:30:09,582
Support...

527
00:30:10,115 --> 00:30:14,093
- Ethel, my sister?
- Your half-sister.

528
00:30:15,231 --> 00:30:19,843
This is why you "adopted" Ethel.

529
00:30:21,994 --> 00:30:25,694
This is why you've been the
way that you've been...

530
00:30:26,463 --> 00:30:27,734
with me.

531
00:30:29,967 --> 00:30:32,796
Wanting Kevin to pin me over Archie.

532
00:30:34,183 --> 00:30:37,398
Why you were scared of me
reading Dr. Kingsley's book.

533
00:30:39,783 --> 00:30:43,749
You were afraid of something like
what happened to you happening to me?

534
00:30:44,894 --> 00:30:47,210
I just wanted to give you

535
00:30:47,933 --> 00:30:51,069
a good, happy life.

536
00:30:51,383 --> 00:30:52,920
Unburdened.

537
00:30:53,418 --> 00:30:55,787
Safe, free of shame.

538
00:30:56,085 --> 00:31:01,704
You've been obsessed with
presenting as the perfect family

539
00:31:01,729 --> 00:31:03,444
when all along...

540
00:31:05,733 --> 00:31:08,402
this is what's been wrong. This...

541
00:31:09,965 --> 00:31:11,835
secret. This...

542
00:31:12,441 --> 00:31:15,590
shame, not what I've been doing.

543
00:31:16,135 --> 00:31:17,988
Or what Polly did.

544
00:31:19,914 --> 00:31:21,722
It was Dad's affair...

545
00:31:23,902 --> 00:31:26,065
and your decision to stay with him

546
00:31:26,091 --> 00:31:28,480
and pretend that everything was fine.

547
00:31:29,196 --> 00:31:31,629
And for all my efforts,

548
00:31:32,836 --> 00:31:34,433
I failed you.

549
00:31:37,543 --> 00:31:39,746
As a mother...

550
00:31:40,328 --> 00:31:43,043
I failed you, and I'm sorry.

551
00:31:47,427 --> 00:31:48,691
You didn't.

552
00:31:51,083 --> 00:31:53,410
You did the best that you could.

553
00:31:56,162 --> 00:31:58,463
You did what you thought was right.

554
00:32:01,627 --> 00:32:02,933
But now...

555
00:32:05,534 --> 00:32:07,676
we need to get Dad back here,

556
00:32:09,056 --> 00:32:13,332
and we need to tell Ethel everything.

557
00:32:47,939 --> 00:32:49,658
_

558
00:32:50,392 --> 00:32:53,350
What you say is here is really here?

559
00:32:53,376 --> 00:32:55,026
It is. You will see for yourself.

560
00:32:55,052 --> 00:32:56,725
Well, wouldn't there be more guards?

561
00:32:56,751 --> 00:33:00,083
I imagine my father is trying
to avoid undue attention.

562
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:01,891
That's a good point.

563
00:33:02,502 --> 00:33:04,079
And as Cheryl and I were on the cusp

564
00:33:04,105 --> 00:33:06,327
of uncovering one explosive truth,

565
00:33:06,353 --> 00:33:08,534
Ethel was experiencing
emotional shock waves

566
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,579
after learning the truth about her life.

567
00:33:10,658 --> 00:33:12,306
It explains things.

568
00:33:14,089 --> 00:33:16,243
Why my parents were so sad,

569
00:33:16,556 --> 00:33:18,454
why they fought all the time.

570
00:33:20,651 --> 00:33:22,181
Why I always felt...

571
00:33:23,549 --> 00:33:25,985
I don't know, like it
was somehow my fault.

572
00:33:26,190 --> 00:33:28,579
Oh, it was never your fault, Ethel.

573
00:33:29,656 --> 00:33:30,814
Ethel...

574
00:33:32,381 --> 00:33:35,962
Mrs. Cooper and I,
were discussing and...

575
00:33:37,189 --> 00:33:38,817
Well, we'd like to...

576
00:33:38,842 --> 00:33:40,658
We'd like to make things right.

577
00:33:41,638 --> 00:33:43,681
And formally adopt you.

578
00:33:44,154 --> 00:33:47,556
Show you that we could be a...
a true family.

579
00:33:52,158 --> 00:33:53,962
I appreciate that.

580
00:33:54,684 --> 00:33:58,868
Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, it's
kind of you to offer.

581
00:34:00,667 --> 00:34:03,008
But I don't think that's what I want.

582
00:34:04,408 --> 00:34:05,790
What do you want?

583
00:34:07,071 --> 00:34:08,360
To be happy.

584
00:34:11,179 --> 00:34:13,095
To move on with my life.

585
00:34:14,750 --> 00:34:16,095
To start over.

586
00:34:23,278 --> 00:34:25,165
Well, you enjoy my room.

587
00:34:25,367 --> 00:34:26,865
Don't get into too much trouble.

588
00:34:26,890 --> 00:34:27,986
I won't.

589
00:34:28,012 --> 00:34:30,626
And, I'll see you at practice, Coach.

590
00:34:33,299 --> 00:34:34,299
Mary,

591
00:34:35,345 --> 00:34:38,051
I don't know how I'm going to survive
without your chicken pot pie.

592
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:39,574
Oh, come on, Frank.

593
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:42,322
You know you'll always be
welcome at Sunday dinner.

594
00:34:46,924 --> 00:34:48,758
In that case, I will see you Sunday.

595
00:34:50,473 --> 00:34:51,628
You...

596
00:34:51,654 --> 00:34:53,431
So you're the man of the house now.

597
00:34:53,829 --> 00:34:56,525
I hope you're up for the task and...

598
00:34:57,295 --> 00:34:59,564
I hope you don't hold
anything against me.

599
00:35:01,096 --> 00:35:02,946
Of course not, Uncle Frank.

600
00:35:04,176 --> 00:35:05,915
But just to be clear,

601
00:35:06,408 --> 00:35:08,970
writing poetry doesn't make
you any less of a man.

602
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:11,258
Some of the most beautiful
poems I've ever read

603
00:35:11,282 --> 00:35:13,302
were written by soldiers in trenches,

604
00:35:13,398 --> 00:35:16,126
covered in mud and the
blood of their brothers.

605
00:35:17,135 --> 00:35:19,008
Well, maybe that's my path.

606
00:35:21,255 --> 00:35:22,798
Well, maybe not.

607
00:35:23,179 --> 00:35:25,087
Guess we'll have to wait and see.

608
00:35:43,222 --> 00:35:45,590
We have to show these
photos to Sheriff Keller.

609
00:35:45,646 --> 00:35:48,363
Maybe, maybe not.

610
00:35:48,537 --> 00:35:50,561
For all we know, Sheriff
Keller is in on it.

611
00:35:50,587 --> 00:35:51,861
Kevin's father?

612
00:35:51,887 --> 00:35:55,053
No, he's just a dimwitted small-town
sheriff that's in over his head.

613
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:57,986
Well, still, now that we have hard
proof, it's better to be careful.

614
00:35:58,012 --> 00:36:01,090
Veronica has some contacts in the FBI
from when they investigated her father.

615
00:36:01,115 --> 00:36:03,796
I'll reach out to her and see if she can
get me the names of some of those agents.

616
00:36:03,822 --> 00:36:07,509
Good thinking, Sherlock Jones. By the way,

617
00:36:07,615 --> 00:36:10,322
are you and Veronica
officially an item now?

618
00:36:12,236 --> 00:36:13,663
Shucks, I don't know.

619
00:36:13,689 --> 00:36:15,947
Talk about being in over your crown.

620
00:36:16,108 --> 00:36:18,589
Oh, I'm holding my own.

621
00:36:30,063 --> 00:36:31,649
I'll get it.

622
00:36:34,017 --> 00:36:36,297
Gentlemen, you're right on time.

623
00:36:36,323 --> 00:36:38,212
They're having breakfast
in the grand hall.

624
00:36:42,631 --> 00:36:46,787
Clifford Marion Blossom, Penelope
Pavlina Novikov Blossom,

625
00:36:46,813 --> 00:36:48,655
you're under arrest for treason,

626
00:36:48,681 --> 00:36:51,056
conspiracy and advocating
for the violent overthrow

627
00:36:51,082 --> 00:36:52,841
of the American government.

628
00:36:52,949 --> 00:36:56,290
The FBI is shutting down your
so-called Project Moloch.

629
00:37:01,599 --> 00:37:03,619
You did a bad thing, Daddy.

630
00:37:03,699 --> 00:37:05,697
Over the coming days,
the world would learn

631
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,215
about the American capitalist

632
00:37:07,241 --> 00:37:09,645
seduced by the Soviet sleeper agent.

633
00:37:12,534 --> 00:37:14,598
Operation Project Moloch

634
00:37:14,623 --> 00:37:17,384
was to have been the next
leg of the arms race,

635
00:37:17,637 --> 00:37:20,723
from the A-bomb to the
H-bomb to the P-bomb,

636
00:37:20,749 --> 00:37:22,434
the palladium bomb.

637
00:37:23,012 --> 00:37:26,009
The US believed Clifford Blossom
was developing it for them,

638
00:37:26,035 --> 00:37:29,352
when, in fact, his plan had been
to develop the P-bomb in Riverdale

639
00:37:29,377 --> 00:37:31,387
and deliver it to Mother Russia.

640
00:37:31,413 --> 00:37:33,548
The FBI and the US Army were credited

641
00:37:33,574 --> 00:37:36,767
with foiling the plot against
America, which is fine by me,

642
00:37:36,793 --> 00:37:39,613
because I was busy putting the
rest of the pieces together.

643
00:37:39,811 --> 00:37:43,228
Mr. Rayberry must have glimpsed
just enough during his job

644
00:37:43,254 --> 00:37:45,590
at the Blossom factory
to grow concerned.

645
00:37:45,710 --> 00:37:47,674
He warned us, as he always did,

646
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:50,165
with his brilliant, terrifying stories.

647
00:37:50,191 --> 00:37:52,158
He might have continued
flying under the radar,

648
00:37:52,184 --> 00:37:54,464
but then he started
agitating at Riverdale High

649
00:37:54,489 --> 00:37:57,728
invoking the Supreme Court,
spooking the powers that be,

650
00:37:57,941 --> 00:38:00,301
prompting Mayor Blossom
to have his hit man,

651
00:38:00,327 --> 00:38:02,895
aka the milkman, kill him.

652
00:38:04,107 --> 00:38:07,246
Ethel's folks also paid
the ultimate price.

653
00:38:07,372 --> 00:38:09,634
Mr. Muggs had discovered that
the Blossoms were sitting

654
00:38:09,660 --> 00:38:11,665
on a stockpile of palladium.

655
00:38:11,691 --> 00:38:13,308
That made him a threat.

656
00:38:13,334 --> 00:38:15,449
One that needed to be eliminated.

657
00:38:15,945 --> 00:38:18,140
Ethel didn't care so
much about the details.

658
00:38:18,165 --> 00:38:20,262
But now that she knew the
complete truth of her life,

659
00:38:20,288 --> 00:38:22,231
she was ready, she said,

660
00:38:23,243 --> 00:38:25,002
to finally start to hope again

661
00:38:25,028 --> 00:38:26,621
for a better tomorrow.

662
00:38:27,309 --> 00:38:30,277
Hey, love bug, you ready to peel out?

663
00:38:44,666 --> 00:38:47,035
Are you sure about this, Ethel?

664
00:38:48,121 --> 00:38:49,737
Moving to Hollywood?

665
00:38:49,762 --> 00:38:51,565
Don't you worry, Mrs. Cooper.

666
00:38:51,590 --> 00:38:53,741
I called ahead to my friend Peter Roth.

667
00:38:53,766 --> 00:38:56,262
He saw some of Ethel's
artwork and got her a job

668
00:38:56,288 --> 00:38:58,134
as a storyboard artist on the lot.

669
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,033
And I've already arranged for Ethel
to live with one of my girlfriends

670
00:39:01,059 --> 00:39:03,272
at the most glamorous of buildings,

671
00:39:03,297 --> 00:39:04,363
the El Royale.

672
00:39:04,389 --> 00:39:05,809
Thanks again, Veronica.

673
00:39:05,942 --> 00:39:07,261
My pleasure.

674
00:39:08,341 --> 00:39:09,949
Give 'em hell, Ethel.

675
00:39:13,089 --> 00:39:15,348
Don't forget to send us your
address once you're settled,

676
00:39:15,374 --> 00:39:16,894
so I can come visit you this summer.

677
00:39:16,919 --> 00:39:18,176
I won't forget.

678
00:39:20,749 --> 00:39:22,520
Thank you for everything, Betty.

679
00:39:23,459 --> 00:39:24,678
Of course.

680
00:39:36,929 --> 00:39:38,134
I'll miss you.

681
00:39:38,734 --> 00:39:41,423
You always were the
best partner in crime.

682
00:39:41,801 --> 00:39:43,205
Thanks, Jughead.

683
00:39:45,067 --> 00:39:46,532
Don't be too sad.

684
00:39:47,397 --> 00:39:49,113
We'll always have Pep Comics.

685
00:39:49,139 --> 00:39:51,314
Well, hopefully. We'll see.

686
00:39:55,011 --> 00:39:57,845
You're going to be just fine.

687
00:39:58,050 --> 00:40:00,033
I truly feel that.

688
00:40:00,345 --> 00:40:02,189
I hope so, Mrs. Cooper.

689
00:40:21,509 --> 00:40:23,571
Ethel was the first of us to go,

690
00:40:23,946 --> 00:40:25,892
to leave Riverdale behind.

691
00:40:26,496 --> 00:40:28,306
There would be others soon.

692
00:40:29,083 --> 00:40:31,627
All the pieces were falling into place.

693
00:40:32,385 --> 00:40:34,318
Project Moloch had failed,

694
00:40:34,562 --> 00:40:36,640
and it was just about time to find out

695
00:40:36,666 --> 00:40:40,259
if our little town would be
avoiding an even greater cataclysm.

696
00:40:51,770 --> 00:40:55,903
