1
00:00:01,586 --> 00:00:03,629
Previously on Riverdale:

2
00:00:04,255 --> 00:00:06,049
He calls himself the Black Hood.

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:09,302
It's like the angel of death
had come to Riverdale.

4
00:00:10,136 --> 00:00:11,804
A family of four was murdered.

5
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:14,515
There was a third child.

6
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:16,559
You know who killed your family?

7
00:00:16,642 --> 00:00:18,394
A preacher passing through town.

8
00:00:18,478 --> 00:00:21,421
A group of men killed him.
Justice had been served.

9
00:00:22,265 --> 00:00:24,192
I know about the Snake Charmer.

10
00:00:25,276 --> 00:00:26,864
If you cause a stink,
I will make sure

11
00:00:26,891 --> 00:00:28,818
that video goes straight to
the sheriff's office.

12
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:30,571
I love you, Ronnie.

13
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,568
Archie, whatever
deep-seated issues I have,

14
00:00:33,595 --> 00:00:35,395
I can't let myself
go there with you.

15
00:00:35,453 --> 00:00:38,372
How many times
are we gonna push each other away?

16
00:00:50,093 --> 00:00:53,400
Used to be, in ye olden days,
every December,

17
00:00:53,427 --> 00:00:56,724
a lord of misrule presided
over the winter holidays,

18
00:00:56,808 --> 00:00:59,887
called, back then, the Feast of Fools.

19
00:00:59,914 --> 00:01:01,749
What do you say, Pop? Is it okay?

20
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:05,483
The best tree yet.
Thanks, Archie. Thanks, Fred.

21
00:01:05,566 --> 00:01:09,075
No, thank you, Pop, for letting us set
up shop right in front of the diner.

22
00:01:13,366 --> 00:01:15,284
You guys gonna stay in town for break?

23
00:01:15,785 --> 00:01:20,164
Yeah. We were gonna visit my mom,
but she booked a single's cruise, so...

24
00:01:20,248 --> 00:01:23,716
- How are you and Veronica?
- We've been better.

25
00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:26,103
If it's any consolation,

26
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:28,142
Betty and I haven't been in the greatest
place either, so...

27
00:01:28,169 --> 00:01:30,925
Jughead, you want a Christmas tree?
You and your dad, on the house?

28
00:01:31,008 --> 00:01:32,676
It would have to be a small one, Mr. A.

29
00:01:34,262 --> 00:01:36,347
So, I'll see you
at Kevin's Secret Santa thing?

30
00:01:36,430 --> 00:01:38,950
Yeah, because that sounds
like a great idea.

31
00:01:41,686 --> 00:01:43,848
So, Christmas was happening.

32
00:01:45,356 --> 00:01:49,872
Even though this year's lord of misrule
was none other than the Black Hood.

33
00:01:55,292 --> 00:01:56,475
Wake up, it's time.

34
00:01:56,502 --> 00:01:57,609
- Polly?
- He's here.

35
00:01:57,636 --> 00:01:59,077
- What? Who's here?
- He's waiting for us.

36
00:01:59,245 --> 00:02:01,323
You know who. Come on.

37
00:02:07,128 --> 00:02:10,715
- Merry Christmas.
- Hey, Merry Christmas.

38
00:02:12,592 --> 00:02:14,878
- Betty.
- Betty, Merry Christmas!

39
00:02:15,553 --> 00:02:17,054
- Okay.
- All right, honey,

40
00:02:17,138 --> 00:02:18,598
I hope you like it.

41
00:02:18,681 --> 00:02:20,932
- Santa?
- Tear it open.

42
00:02:45,166 --> 00:02:47,877
- Where's Jason's stocking?
- I couldn't find it.

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,022
And anyway, there's nothing to put in it.

44
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:54,772
And what, pray tell, is this?

45
00:02:56,093 --> 00:02:59,472
It's going to be a hard-candy Christmas
this year, Cheryl.

46
00:02:59,555 --> 00:03:02,642
Time to face facts. We have no money.

47
00:03:04,185 --> 00:03:07,271
Dad, what is that?
That a letter from the Black Hood?

48
00:03:08,064 --> 00:03:09,546
No, it's worse.

49
00:03:10,191 --> 00:03:12,843
Riverdale General. My hospital bill.

50
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:14,329
How much is it for?

51
00:03:15,279 --> 00:03:17,694
- Eighty-six thousand.
- What, dollars?

52
00:03:18,616 --> 00:03:21,132
That can't be right, can it?
Or doesn't your insurance...?

53
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:22,952
They probably made a mistake.

54
00:03:22,979 --> 00:03:24,462
I'll call them tomorrow.

55
00:03:25,122 --> 00:03:28,389
Kevin's Secret Santa had
a strict $20 limit, V.

56
00:03:28,553 --> 00:03:30,296
Kevin needs to relax.

57
00:03:30,323 --> 00:03:33,275
Also, these aren't just for
Secret Santa, obvi.

58
00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:35,741
I got an Hermès scarf for my mom,

59
00:03:36,053 --> 00:03:39,929
a leather passport case for my dad
now that he can travel again,

60
00:03:40,012 --> 00:03:42,514
and a little something for my best girl.

61
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:46,978
And... a bauble for Archie.

62
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:49,450
Because You're
getting back together?

63
00:03:49,477 --> 00:03:51,534
Because it was
purchased pre-breakup.

64
00:03:51,561 --> 00:03:53,859
Haven't you heard? We're still friends.

65
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:56,803
Oh, yeah. Isn't everyone?

66
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:01,784
I was thinking about our Penny problem.

67
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:03,661
My problem, not ours.

68
00:04:04,078 --> 00:04:07,290
I'm the one that she has
on camera delivering drugs.

69
00:04:07,373 --> 00:04:10,960
How I deal with Peabody is not
your concern. I'm handling it.

70
00:04:11,858 --> 00:04:13,818
By pimping the Serpents out
as drug runners?

71
00:04:13,845 --> 00:04:14,929
Boy...

72
00:04:18,676 --> 00:04:21,095
- Toss them in the corner.
- Hey, what's in the bags, Tall Boy?

73
00:04:21,178 --> 00:04:24,974
Hey, what did I just say?
Mind your damn business. Get to school.

74
00:04:31,418 --> 00:04:33,147
Veronica, it's your turn.

75
00:04:35,359 --> 00:04:36,235
Hmm.

76
00:04:38,487 --> 00:04:42,498
Oh, a gift certificate
for a couple's massage.

77
00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:46,451
- Thanks, Josie.
- You can go with Betty.

78
00:04:47,272 --> 00:04:50,145
- Or your mom.
- I can go with your mom, if you want.

79
00:04:50,374 --> 00:04:52,641
Dear God, can we please get
this torture over with?

80
00:04:52,668 --> 00:04:54,946
Betty, you're next, and mercifully last.

81
00:04:54,973 --> 00:04:59,258
I think I know who picked my name
based on these wrapping skills.

82
00:05:04,139 --> 00:05:05,015
Archie.

83
00:05:05,264 --> 00:05:08,100
My dad and I were cleaning out
the garage, and I found it.

84
00:05:08,786 --> 00:05:11,437
Swiss Family Robinson?

85
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,168
Yeah, it's this old read-along record
we used to listen to

86
00:05:15,195 --> 00:05:17,848
when we were, like, 5. Oh, my God.

87
00:05:18,361 --> 00:05:21,970
- I love it, Arch. Thank you.
- Hey, Merry Christmas.

88
00:05:21,997 --> 00:05:23,157
- Moose.
- Hi.

89
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,739
- Hi, Midge.
- What's up?

90
00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:28,903
- How are you?
- Why are you rushing off?

91
00:05:30,206 --> 00:05:33,739
Look, Betty, I don't wanna be that guy.

92
00:05:34,085 --> 00:05:36,212
But I see Moose,
all I think about is the Black Hood

93
00:05:36,303 --> 00:05:39,200
and the pain he's
caused to the people that I car about,

94
00:05:39,629 --> 00:05:40,524
including you.

95
00:05:40,551 --> 00:05:41,754
I know.

96
00:05:42,098 --> 00:05:45,171
And the fact that he's still out
there is giving me anxiety nightmares.

97
00:05:45,221 --> 00:05:49,864
Making me paranoid. It's like
everywhere I look, all I see is...

98
00:05:51,227 --> 00:05:53,645
What? All you see is what?

99
00:05:57,149 --> 00:05:58,981
Excuse me, who are you?

100
00:05:59,944 --> 00:06:00,945
You mean, my name?

101
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,990
Uh, where's Mr. Svenson?

102
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:08,200
No idea. He's been out a few days.

103
00:06:08,994 --> 00:06:10,454
They just called me in.

104
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,242
Arch, you and Veronica
confronted Mr. Svenson

105
00:06:20,269 --> 00:06:23,175
- about his connection to the Black Hood.
- And now he's not here.

106
00:06:24,927 --> 00:06:27,195
What if something
happened to him?

107
00:06:27,222 --> 00:06:29,582
Betty, we found out Mr.
Svenson's secret.

108
00:06:30,224 --> 00:06:32,520
What if we led the
Black Hood to him?

109
00:06:32,547 --> 00:06:34,178
What if we got him killed?

110
00:06:37,703 --> 00:06:40,713
CREDITS

111
00:06:42,713 --> 00:06:46,800
Mr. Svenson?
He's been out all week with a cold.

112
00:06:47,283 --> 00:06:49,910
Oh, sounded terrible on the phone.

113
00:06:50,369 --> 00:06:53,998
So, I dropped off some chicken soup
at his house a few days back.

114
00:06:54,081 --> 00:06:56,519
- You saw him?
- I left it at his door.

115
00:06:57,334 --> 00:07:03,464
But between us, he often gets this way
during the holidays, you know? Depressed.

116
00:07:03,883 --> 00:07:04,800
No family.

117
00:07:07,887 --> 00:07:09,889
Thank you.

118
00:07:13,768 --> 00:07:18,980
Hey, I... stayed behind, 'cause...

119
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:20,608
Merry Christmas.

120
00:07:22,777 --> 00:07:23,611
Thank you.

121
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,239
Look, I'm sorry.

122
00:07:28,908 --> 00:07:31,308
For how it all went down between us.

123
00:07:31,911 --> 00:07:36,015
As Serpents, my dad and I specifically
are in a precarious place.

124
00:07:37,448 --> 00:07:39,418
I just don't want you
in those crosshairs.

125
00:07:39,502 --> 00:07:41,629
That's not your decision to make, Jughead.

126
00:07:43,005 --> 00:07:44,745
Even if you think
it's to protect me,

127
00:07:44,772 --> 00:07:47,828
it's my choice what I
risk and for whom.

128
00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:48,719
I know.

129
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:54,034
I should go. Check in on my dad.

130
00:07:54,934 --> 00:07:55,768
Jug.

131
00:07:59,230 --> 00:08:01,073
I got you something, too.

132
00:08:13,661 --> 00:08:14,495
Archie.

133
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:18,624
- I got you a little something.
- Thanks.

134
00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:20,376
I didn't realize...

135
00:08:20,459 --> 00:08:23,026
Oh, no, no, it's all good. Just open it.

136
00:08:26,966 --> 00:08:28,926
- Ronnie, this is...
- Turn it over.

137
00:08:30,894 --> 00:08:32,878
- _
- I got it before...

138
00:08:34,027 --> 00:08:36,946
I don't want things
to be forced between us.

139
00:08:38,394 --> 00:08:39,478
What?

140
00:08:40,271 --> 00:08:41,876
No, did I make it worse?

141
00:08:41,903 --> 00:08:44,301
I just... I wanted you to know
that I still care about...

142
00:08:44,358 --> 00:08:45,693
No, you didn't.

143
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:49,029
Things at home aren't great right now.

144
00:08:50,364 --> 00:08:51,448
It's my dad.

145
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:54,702
Anything I can do to help?

146
00:08:57,162 --> 00:08:59,748
Come on, we're still friends.

147
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,131
He just... He got
his hospital bill, and he owes...

148
00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:06,982
$86,000, Ronnie,

149
00:09:07,009 --> 00:09:09,925
and it's like we're
selling Christmas trees

150
00:09:10,220 --> 00:09:12,764
just for extra money
so we can keep our heads above water.

151
00:09:12,791 --> 00:09:14,384
Oh, my God, Archie.

152
00:09:15,389 --> 00:09:16,807
I wanna help, but...

153
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,603
- I wanna hug you.
- That's okay.

154
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:24,315
I shouldn't have said anything.
The watch is great, Ronnie.

155
00:09:24,398 --> 00:09:25,691
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

156
00:09:27,568 --> 00:09:28,819
What is all this?

157
00:09:29,134 --> 00:09:32,531
It's Serpent tradition.
Every year, we give back to the Southside.

158
00:09:32,615 --> 00:09:36,327
Toys for Tots, Meals on Wheels,
kids and old folks living alone.

159
00:09:36,952 --> 00:09:38,370
The Hells Angels do it.

160
00:09:38,454 --> 00:09:42,124
I'm always down for charitable works.
Hey, have you seen my dad?

161
00:09:42,207 --> 00:09:43,709
Why aren't you in school?

162
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,503
Uh, it's a half-day before break.

163
00:09:46,587 --> 00:09:48,881
Well, in that case, you can hold down
the fort here, Jug.

164
00:09:48,964 --> 00:09:50,710
Or I could come with you guys.

165
00:09:51,383 --> 00:09:53,093
Nice try. The answer's no.

166
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:55,440
We do need another
set of hands, boss.

167
00:09:55,467 --> 00:09:58,007
There you go. Let
me pull my weight.

168
00:09:58,807 --> 00:09:59,725
Dad.

169
00:10:02,603 --> 00:10:04,605
I don't know what
the Snake Charmer has you doing...

170
00:10:04,688 --> 00:10:07,358
Sweet Pea, you're with us.

171
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:27,347
- Hey, Betty, what's up?
- Hey, I can't let this Svenson thing go.

172
00:10:27,374 --> 00:10:29,880
I think we should stop by his house
and check up on him.

173
00:10:29,964 --> 00:10:33,050
Yeah, I agree. Let me just tell my dad,
and then we'll go.

174
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:34,540
- Give me ten.
- Okay.

175
00:10:36,387 --> 00:10:39,399
Team Paul Bunyan.
I'd like to purchase your finest tree.

176
00:10:39,723 --> 00:10:43,321
Actually, Cheryl, I was just about to take
a break, but Vic here can help you. Vic.

177
00:10:45,813 --> 00:10:48,741
What can I get you, miss?
We got some nice spruces.

178
00:11:03,468 --> 00:11:05,187
There's the chicken soup.

179
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:09,962
Mr. Svenson!

180
00:11:28,397 --> 00:11:29,314
Can I help you?

181
00:11:29,771 --> 00:11:30,858
Jughead Jones?

182
00:11:32,443 --> 00:11:33,277
Maybe.

183
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,446
I'm Jack Walsh, your dad's parole officer.

184
00:11:36,405 --> 00:11:37,403
He's not home.

185
00:11:37,865 --> 00:11:40,868
Doesn't need to be.
Do you mind if I come in for a moment?

186
00:11:41,744 --> 00:11:43,035
Like I have a choice.

187
00:11:47,082 --> 00:11:51,336
Hiram, was that a Spiffany's bag
I saw come into the lobby earlier today?

188
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:53,941
Looked about the right size
for a Glamergé egg.

189
00:11:54,174 --> 00:11:57,083
That depends, mi amor.
Have you been naughty or nice this year?

190
00:11:59,845 --> 00:12:01,680
Don't worry, mija.
Santa has your list, too.

191
00:12:02,181 --> 00:12:05,426
And please don't go snooping
for the gifts this year. He hates that.

192
00:12:05,461 --> 00:12:08,465
Santa can rip up my
list for all I care.

193
00:12:08,492 --> 00:12:09,722
I mean, look at us,

194
00:12:09,772 --> 00:12:13,817
throwing money away on bejeweled eggs
like we're a family of Russian oligarchs

195
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:16,945
when there are people in this town who
can't even pay their own medical bills.

196
00:12:17,029 --> 00:12:18,781
Since when are you a communist?

197
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,607
Since Archie told me
that he and his dad

198
00:12:21,634 --> 00:12:23,770
are drowning in
Fred's medical bills

199
00:12:23,827 --> 00:12:26,841
to the tune of $86,000,

200
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:28,452
which is why I was thinking...

201
00:12:28,479 --> 00:12:30,542
- Absolutely not.
- That's a lot of money.

202
00:12:30,626 --> 00:12:33,629
The Lodge charitable trust has made
its donations for the fiscal year.

203
00:12:33,712 --> 00:12:36,468
Fred Andrews will have
to tighten his belt.

204
00:12:36,495 --> 00:12:38,372
Said Ebenezer Scrooge.

205
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:41,595
Fred's selling Christmas trees
for extra cash, dad.

206
00:12:41,678 --> 00:12:45,307
I mean, that's the kind of man...
The kind of father he is.

207
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:46,225
You know...

208
00:12:48,352 --> 00:12:50,640
I believe I have some work
to finish in the study.

209
00:12:57,945 --> 00:13:01,073
Cheryl Marjorie Blossom,
what have you done?

210
00:13:01,532 --> 00:13:04,851
Isn't it obvious, Mother?
I've saved Christmas.

211
00:13:05,744 --> 00:13:07,741
Look how happy Nana Rose is.

212
00:13:08,205 --> 00:13:10,988
You spoiled, wretched
little brat.

213
00:13:11,015 --> 00:13:13,027
How do you expect to
pay for all this?

214
00:13:13,794 --> 00:13:14,711
Oh.

215
00:13:15,304 --> 00:13:19,687
I was thinking maybe you could go
to Mr. Lodge for a job.

216
00:13:20,259 --> 00:13:23,470
Of course, he'd probably ask what skills
you have, and you'd be forced to admit

217
00:13:23,554 --> 00:13:26,974
that the only skill you have is being
a terrible mother.

218
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,906
So, I guess you're gonna have
to get creative in the new year.

219
00:13:35,107 --> 00:13:39,611
You should've drowned them at birth,
like a basket of kittens.

220
00:13:56,253 --> 00:13:58,703
Mom? Dad?

221
00:13:59,548 --> 00:14:00,591
Betty.

222
00:14:02,217 --> 00:14:03,804
- Hey.
- Hey.

223
00:14:04,469 --> 00:14:05,554
How are you?

224
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:08,181
Fine, I just iced
some ginger bread cookies.

225
00:14:08,265 --> 00:14:09,308
Polly's favorite.

226
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:12,185
Just in case there's a Christmas miracle
and she comes home.

227
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:15,789
Oh, by the way, there was a gift
for you on the steps.

228
00:14:16,148 --> 00:14:17,274
Your secret Santa.

229
00:14:17,816 --> 00:14:19,359
I took it up to your room.

230
00:14:22,255 --> 00:14:23,539
Secret Santa?

231
00:14:30,226 --> 00:14:32,172
_

232
00:14:45,017 --> 00:14:49,463
"Enclosed is a finger that belongs
to the sinner Joseph Conway."

233
00:14:49,490 --> 00:14:51,284
He's talking about Mr. Svenson.

234
00:14:51,783 --> 00:14:54,243
"You have one final trespass to unearth.

235
00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:56,569
Find the truth, reveal
it to the town,

236
00:14:56,596 --> 00:14:58,607
and you'll perhaps
save his life."

237
00:14:58,665 --> 00:15:01,540
He kidnapped Mr. Svenson, Arch.

238
00:15:01,602 --> 00:15:03,487
And now he's mutilating him.

239
00:15:06,196 --> 00:15:07,590
Arch, Arch. Hey.

240
00:15:12,428 --> 00:15:15,181
- Betty, please.
- Mr. Svenson, is that you?

241
00:15:16,140 --> 00:15:19,477
It is, Betty,
but his name's Joseph Conway.

242
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,229
He's lost a lot of blood.

243
00:15:21,312 --> 00:15:24,607
Though it's nothing compared to the blood
on the hands of this town.

244
00:15:24,691 --> 00:15:26,123
Exhume the past,

245
00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:28,322
find where the primal
sin was committed

246
00:15:28,349 --> 00:15:31,364
and you'll find
the sinner Conway may be alive.

247
00:15:31,447 --> 00:15:33,116
- And as always, don't...
- What?

248
00:15:33,992 --> 00:15:36,285
You maniac. Don't tell Sheriff Keller?

249
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:43,418
Archie, what sin? What can
Mr. Svenson possibly be guilty of?

250
00:15:43,501 --> 00:15:45,033
Veronica and I talked to him.

251
00:15:45,060 --> 00:15:48,025
Betty, his entire family was murdered
by some crazy preacher.

252
00:15:48,783 --> 00:15:51,217
Maybe the people who adopted him
know something we don't.

253
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,277
Wait, wait, Betty.
Before he was adopted,

254
00:15:53,304 --> 00:15:55,147
Mr. Svenson lived
as Joseph Conway

255
00:15:55,174 --> 00:15:56,431
at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy.

256
00:15:56,514 --> 00:15:59,658
- Will they talk to us?
- They better.

257
00:16:38,417 --> 00:16:40,391
Merry Christmas, Mom.

258
00:16:51,444 --> 00:16:52,636
Pop's?

259
00:16:57,729 --> 00:17:01,565
_

260
00:17:18,429 --> 00:17:20,890
- Did you open them?
- No, Dad.

261
00:17:21,307 --> 00:17:22,767
Out of respect for you.

262
00:17:23,309 --> 00:17:27,230
But your parole officer, Mr. Walsh,
he sure was curious.

263
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:27,900
Walsh was here?

264
00:17:27,927 --> 00:17:30,021
Yeah. Don't worry.
I got rid of him.

265
00:17:30,048 --> 00:17:31,861
But he already has heard
that the Serpents

266
00:17:31,888 --> 00:17:33,809
are moving into
narcos territory.

267
00:17:38,866 --> 00:17:40,159
Ta-da.

268
00:17:41,202 --> 00:17:42,431
Gift boxes?

269
00:17:43,913 --> 00:17:46,457
- With drugs in them?
- No, with gifts in them,

270
00:17:46,541 --> 00:17:48,751
for you, your mom, Jellybean.

271
00:17:49,418 --> 00:17:53,256
Christmas Day, I thought we'd take a ride
to Toledo and deliver them in person.

272
00:17:55,550 --> 00:17:57,802
Dad, this isn't gonna work.

273
00:17:58,228 --> 00:18:04,016
Today, it's gifts, tomorrow, it's drugs,
or weapons, or God knows what.

274
00:18:04,475 --> 00:18:07,645
- How long is this gonna go on...?
- As long as Penny wants.

275
00:18:07,728 --> 00:18:09,606
And if her favors
keep getting bigger,

276
00:18:09,633 --> 00:18:10,970
which you know that they will,

277
00:18:10,997 --> 00:18:12,529
what happens when she asks
for more Serpents on this?

278
00:18:12,556 --> 00:18:14,439
Then I'll bring more Serpents!

279
00:18:16,189 --> 00:18:20,158
You know what? You're right, this isn't
gonna work, you and I living together.

280
00:18:20,241 --> 00:18:22,607
So maybe you can go back to Fred's
or to Betty's.

281
00:18:22,649 --> 00:18:24,042
Betty? I split
with Betty to

282
00:18:24,069 --> 00:18:26,288
- get in with the Serpents. - What
in the world do you want me to say?!

283
00:18:26,330 --> 00:18:30,918
I just want you to let me help fix
this mess that I made.

284
00:18:31,002 --> 00:18:33,031
Get this through
your thick skull, Jughead.

285
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:34,690
We're trapped.

286
00:18:34,755 --> 00:18:36,132
We got no leverage.

287
00:18:36,691 --> 00:18:40,052
If that means I gotta be Penny's
dancing monkey for the time being,

288
00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:41,497
then that's how it goes.

289
00:18:44,390 --> 00:18:47,226
I'm gonna get some rest.
I have a long night ahead of me.

290
00:18:49,061 --> 00:18:53,024
Yes, hello, I'm calling
to settle an account

291
00:18:53,107 --> 00:18:55,735
for one of your patients, Fred Andrews.

292
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,488
Of course, I'm his business partner.

293
00:19:00,662 --> 00:19:01,705
Uh-huh.

294
00:19:01,991 --> 00:19:05,578
I'd like to pay the bill in full
and keep it anonymous,

295
00:19:05,661 --> 00:19:07,102
an angel donation.

296
00:19:08,461 --> 00:19:10,213
Yes, I'm aware of the amount.

297
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:12,335
My name?

298
00:19:13,836 --> 00:19:18,466
Hermione Apollonia Lodge.
And it's a black American Excess card.

299
00:19:19,050 --> 00:19:22,716
Number 29572300...

300
00:19:22,743 --> 00:19:25,264
Penny Peabody has got
my dad dealing drugs.

301
00:19:26,474 --> 00:19:29,946
I know this,
'cause she had me doing it before him.

302
00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:34,622
Now she's roped in Tall Boy
and Sweet Pea.

303
00:19:34,649 --> 00:19:36,651
Man, if you're pissed because
your old man tapped me

304
00:19:36,677 --> 00:19:38,523
- instead of you...
- No, Sweet Pea,

305
00:19:38,550 --> 00:19:40,988
I'm pissed because I don't
want the Serpents

306
00:19:41,015 --> 00:19:42,516
to end up like the Ghoulies.

307
00:19:43,129 --> 00:19:45,159
And I doubt
that any of you became Serpents

308
00:19:45,243 --> 00:19:48,287
just to be at the beck and call
of a drug queenpin.

309
00:19:48,976 --> 00:19:50,353
I know where this ends.

310
00:19:51,082 --> 00:19:52,875
Death, jail.

311
00:19:54,418 --> 00:19:58,238
Which is why
in the interest of self-preservation...

312
00:20:00,049 --> 00:20:01,754
we have to take out Penny.

313
00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:04,303
Snake Charmer's helped some of us.

314
00:20:05,097 --> 00:20:08,975
Oh, yeah? What did she ask for
in return, Sweet Pea?

315
00:20:09,058 --> 00:20:10,059
How many favors?

316
00:20:11,060 --> 00:20:13,312
Now, if we don't stop Penny tonight...

317
00:20:14,121 --> 00:20:18,359
she is going to get
every single one of us in on this.

318
00:20:18,442 --> 00:20:21,488
I promise you. I promise you, Sweet Pea.

319
00:20:23,197 --> 00:20:26,993
What I'm asking is,
are you willing to risk your necks

320
00:20:27,371 --> 00:20:28,911
to save my dad's life?

321
00:20:32,206 --> 00:20:36,480
- What is the first law?
- No Serpent stands alone.

322
00:20:41,215 --> 00:20:42,216
I'm in.

323
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:43,342
Me too.

324
00:20:46,637 --> 00:20:47,471
Let's do this.

325
00:20:54,061 --> 00:20:55,187
Joseph Conway,

326
00:20:55,604 --> 00:20:58,858
Joseph Svenson as you know him,
was a troubled youth.

327
00:20:58,941 --> 00:21:01,444
- There was no saving him.
- Meaning, he was a sinner?

328
00:21:01,527 --> 00:21:05,489
- No, he was a child, a victim.
- Did he suffer from survivor's guilt?

329
00:21:08,701 --> 00:21:11,078
I've already said too much.

330
00:21:11,162 --> 00:21:12,830
- No.
- Betty.

331
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:18,767
Sister Woodhouse,
when my sister escaped this dungeon,

332
00:21:18,794 --> 00:21:21,547
she told me
all about the corporal punishment.

333
00:21:21,630 --> 00:21:24,550
So, please help us with this,

334
00:21:24,861 --> 00:21:28,119
or I will expose
the Sisters of Quiet Mercy

335
00:21:28,146 --> 00:21:31,244
for the house of horrors
that it really is.

336
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:36,270
After his family was massacred,

337
00:21:36,471 --> 00:21:38,822
young Conway... young
Svenson

338
00:21:38,849 --> 00:21:40,942
identified the man responsible.

339
00:21:41,289 --> 00:21:44,471
Then a small group of Riverdale citizens

340
00:21:45,071 --> 00:21:50,908
took matters into their own hands,
and, well, executed him.

341
00:21:51,783 --> 00:21:53,913
It was only later when he was with us

342
00:21:53,996 --> 00:21:56,916
that Joseph admitted that,
in his terror and shock,

343
00:21:56,999 --> 00:21:59,291
he may have pointed a finger
of accusation...

344
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,711
At the wrong man?

345
00:22:02,129 --> 00:22:03,089
Oh, my God.

346
00:22:03,714 --> 00:22:07,176
Svenson's sin was sentencing
the wrong man to death.

347
00:22:08,795 --> 00:22:13,588
Did Svenson...? Did Conway ever talk
about who carried out the execution?

348
00:22:15,935 --> 00:22:18,283
They came here once to see Joseph.

349
00:22:18,896 --> 00:22:21,690
It was a group of men and one woman.

350
00:22:22,274 --> 00:22:23,818
I don't know their names.

351
00:22:24,401 --> 00:22:26,946
And I can't remember
what they looked like.

352
00:22:28,072 --> 00:22:31,010
Just that the woman had
the most striking hair.

353
00:22:32,785 --> 00:22:35,892
White, save for a cherry-red stripe.

354
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:40,494
Nana Rose Blossom?

355
00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:50,094
FP?

356
00:22:51,176 --> 00:22:52,928
Well, you're early, old hoss.

357
00:22:58,570 --> 00:22:59,405
Penny.

358
00:23:00,461 --> 00:23:01,670
Ho, merry, ho.

359
00:23:02,619 --> 00:23:04,400
Jughead Jones.

360
00:23:04,672 --> 00:23:06,131
Nice crowbar.

361
00:23:07,073 --> 00:23:10,338
This? Yeah, I brought it
in case I need to pry the door open.

362
00:23:11,244 --> 00:23:13,538
Are you gonna give me
a hand with this stuff?

363
00:23:13,621 --> 00:23:16,624
Your dad will be here in, like, what,
15, 20 minutes?

364
00:23:17,377 --> 00:23:19,377
He probably won't be too happy
to see you, huh?

365
00:23:19,460 --> 00:23:23,047
I wouldn't worry about that.
Neither of us are gonna be here.

366
00:23:27,302 --> 00:23:29,012
Is this supposed to scare me?

367
00:23:31,681 --> 00:23:34,601
I would not do this if I were you.
You are making a big mistake.

368
00:23:34,684 --> 00:23:37,291
You are making...
Are you out of your mind?!

369
00:23:42,650 --> 00:23:43,568
Hey, guys.

370
00:23:45,695 --> 00:23:48,031
Finishing up some last-minute shopping?

371
00:23:48,990 --> 00:23:52,911
We were, but then we got
the most fascinating call from our bank,

372
00:23:52,994 --> 00:23:57,892
confirming a charge that was made
to my credit card, the amount of $86,000.

373
00:23:59,564 --> 00:24:00,924
So that went through.

374
00:24:01,711 --> 00:24:02,545
Great.

375
00:24:03,421 --> 00:24:07,619
Yeah, I decided that you would cover
Fred's medical expenses.

376
00:24:07,926 --> 00:24:11,037
I mean, if you can
afford to buy Pop's

377
00:24:11,064 --> 00:24:13,041
and then lie to
my face about it.

378
00:24:14,098 --> 00:24:18,580
So, how is it that we can now
suddenly afford an entire diner?

379
00:24:21,689 --> 00:24:24,776
You wanted a more active role
in Lodge Industries

380
00:24:24,859 --> 00:24:26,400
and we let you have it.

381
00:24:27,070 --> 00:24:28,988
Then you break into
my office and try

382
00:24:29,015 --> 00:24:30,933
to use whatever you
find as leverage.

383
00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:35,036
Now, I admit, there's a lot
you don't know, and that's on purpose.

384
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,164
How can I be part of this family
if you keep hiding things from me?

385
00:24:38,247 --> 00:24:40,810
Mija, you think you wanna know everything,
but you don't.

386
00:24:40,837 --> 00:24:44,671
My name is on all of those documents
in your desk, Daddy.

387
00:24:44,754 --> 00:24:46,798
Doesn't that mean
I have the right to know?

388
00:24:46,881 --> 00:24:50,075
Yes, yes, it does, Veronica.

389
00:24:50,885 --> 00:24:54,806
But that means the time
for being daddy's little girl is over.

390
00:24:55,807 --> 00:24:57,016
It's time to work now.

391
00:24:58,142 --> 00:25:00,645
All of us in lockstep.

392
00:25:01,161 --> 00:25:03,068
She deserves to know the truth, Hiram.

393
00:25:05,817 --> 00:25:06,982
All right.

394
00:25:08,569 --> 00:25:09,779
All right.

395
00:25:10,363 --> 00:25:12,031
Follow me to the study.

396
00:25:23,247 --> 00:25:25,211
- Where am I?
- You're in Greendale.

397
00:25:26,421 --> 00:25:27,380
Your new home.

398
00:25:28,881 --> 00:25:33,263
But frankly, Penny,
I don't care where you set up shop.

399
00:25:35,179 --> 00:25:39,661
But it's not gonna be in Riverdale,
and it's not gonna be with the Serpents.

400
00:25:40,018 --> 00:25:43,388
You wanna deal drugs?
You wanna extort people?

401
00:25:43,521 --> 00:25:44,772
That's your business.

402
00:25:45,606 --> 00:25:48,810
But not on the Southside.
That belongs to us.

403
00:25:50,236 --> 00:25:53,122
You stupid, cocky kid.

404
00:25:55,158 --> 00:25:59,083
The Serpent law says
you can't hurt one of your own.

405
00:26:00,830 --> 00:26:02,832
Oh, Penny, it's time you learn.

406
00:26:05,126 --> 00:26:06,127
Grab her.

407
00:26:08,421 --> 00:26:12,974
What are you doing?
Get off of me! Get off. Get off of me!

408
00:26:14,135 --> 00:26:17,513
- That tattoo doesn't make you a Serpent.
- No, no.

409
00:26:17,597 --> 00:26:19,005
No, no, no.

410
00:26:25,146 --> 00:26:27,523
Cheryl, we need to see your grandmother.

411
00:26:27,614 --> 00:26:30,518
Nana Rose seldom has visitors.
She'll be pleased.

412
00:26:30,955 --> 00:26:32,229
Entree.

413
00:26:35,782 --> 00:26:38,612
Nana Rose,
we have some questions for you

414
00:26:38,639 --> 00:26:41,704
about something that happened
in Riverdale a long time ago.

415
00:26:42,789 --> 00:26:46,167
A man killed his family,
and a group of people decided

416
00:26:46,250 --> 00:26:49,087
- to take justice into their own hands.
- Oh, dear.

417
00:26:49,170 --> 00:26:51,756
Here in Riverdale?

418
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:56,370
Yes, and you were part of that group,
weren't you?

419
00:26:56,588 --> 00:26:58,271
What is this, a
Christmas inquest?

420
00:26:58,298 --> 00:27:00,604
Cheryl, a man's
life is at stake.

421
00:27:00,890 --> 00:27:03,309
Were you with this group when they...?

422
00:27:03,893 --> 00:27:06,938
When you killed this man for revenge?

423
00:27:07,021 --> 00:27:07,980
Oh, no.

424
00:27:08,564 --> 00:27:10,608
No girls allowed.

425
00:27:10,691 --> 00:27:16,088
They told me to stay at home
while they took care of the bad man.

426
00:27:19,325 --> 00:27:23,659
Nana Rose, this is so important.

427
00:27:24,122 --> 00:27:26,534
Where did they hang the bad man?

428
00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:28,690
Oh, they didn't hang him.

429
00:27:29,418 --> 00:27:32,346
Oh, no. They gave him a proper burial.

430
00:27:33,745 --> 00:27:38,010
Buried him alive.

431
00:27:38,838 --> 00:27:41,370
Where? Where did they do that?

432
00:27:41,889 --> 00:27:45,476
Ask your grandfather, Polly dear.
He was there.

433
00:27:46,060 --> 00:27:48,237
My...? My grandfather?

434
00:27:48,396 --> 00:27:53,234
I had a picture of them
smiling at the place.

435
00:27:53,818 --> 00:27:57,613
Standing under the devil's hands.

436
00:27:58,239 --> 00:28:01,120
Picture? What picture?

437
00:28:02,493 --> 00:28:03,635
Cheryl?

438
00:28:03,911 --> 00:28:07,069
I wonder if you might take me to my room.

439
00:28:07,096 --> 00:28:10,474
I suddenly feel quite ill.

440
00:28:10,501 --> 00:28:12,587
Satisfied, you vultures?

441
00:28:12,670 --> 00:28:16,198
Your reindeer games are over.
Now get the hell out.

442
00:28:17,466 --> 00:28:21,846
Archie, my grandfather helped murder
an innocent man.

443
00:28:21,929 --> 00:28:24,124
Betty, who even knows
if what she was saying is true?

444
00:28:24,151 --> 00:28:25,936
That picture Nana Rose mentioned.

445
00:28:25,963 --> 00:28:28,352
When Grandpa Louis died,
we packed up his house,

446
00:28:28,436 --> 00:28:29,770
and we donated most of his stuff.

447
00:28:29,854 --> 00:28:32,773
But he had pictures.
We kept them and we organized them.

448
00:28:32,857 --> 00:28:34,924
Okay, Betty. Take a breath.
Where are they? Where are the pictures?

449
00:28:34,951 --> 00:28:36,303
My house. They're at my house.

450
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:37,945
- That's great.
- Archie,

451
00:28:38,029 --> 00:28:42,225
my grandfather killed a man in cold blood.

452
00:28:42,252 --> 00:28:45,413
An innocent man.
What if that's why he picked me?

453
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,538
The Black Hood.
That's why he's been calling me.

454
00:28:47,622 --> 00:28:50,625
- Revenge for something I didn't even do.
- Betty, Betty, listen to me.

455
00:28:51,751 --> 00:28:55,354
This is the part... where we end this.

456
00:28:56,088 --> 00:28:59,223
Where we save Mr. Svenson
and stop the Black Hood tonight.

457
00:28:59,250 --> 00:29:02,303
But I need you with me.
I can't do this alone.

458
00:29:02,386 --> 00:29:05,879
Tomorrow, we're gonna wake up and
everything is gonna go back to how it was.

459
00:29:05,906 --> 00:29:08,017
But right now, I need you with me.

460
00:29:08,392 --> 00:29:10,515
- I need Betty Cooper.
- Arch.

461
00:29:18,069 --> 00:29:19,028
Betty.

462
00:29:19,781 --> 00:29:21,140
We have to hurry up.

463
00:29:37,338 --> 00:29:38,673
Well, Veronica.

464
00:29:39,549 --> 00:29:40,633
Now you know.

465
00:29:40,716 --> 00:29:42,009
You know everything.

466
00:29:42,635 --> 00:29:44,890
So, mija, what do you think?

467
00:29:50,309 --> 00:29:51,143
I'm in.

468
00:29:51,453 --> 00:29:53,288
But I have ground rules.

469
00:29:53,521 --> 00:29:54,355
Well...

470
00:29:55,147 --> 00:29:56,107
one ground rule.

471
00:29:57,149 --> 00:29:58,378
By all means.

472
00:29:59,485 --> 00:30:03,018
- I refuse to do anything illegal.
- Well, that's fine.

473
00:30:03,489 --> 00:30:06,659
Especially since we're not doing
anything illegal either.

474
00:30:07,910 --> 00:30:09,954
Let me share two words to live by.

475
00:30:11,372 --> 00:30:12,873
Plausible deniability.

476
00:30:13,416 --> 00:30:18,045
Also... that charge I made
for Fred's medical bills?

477
00:30:18,629 --> 00:30:21,757
- I want that to stick.
- Mija, it's gonna complicate matters.

478
00:30:21,841 --> 00:30:25,469
- Fred is a proud man. He's not...
- We'll smooth that over though.

479
00:30:25,553 --> 00:30:28,761
And the truth is, we'll need Fred
for what comes next.

480
00:30:29,348 --> 00:30:33,518
Fine. Assuming the Fred situation
can be finessed...

481
00:30:35,354 --> 00:30:36,606
do we have a deal?

482
00:30:37,565 --> 00:30:38,899
We do, Daddykins.

483
00:30:40,651 --> 00:30:41,569
We have a deal.

484
00:30:45,990 --> 00:30:47,867
- Hey, Dad.
- What's all this?

485
00:30:47,950 --> 00:30:51,354
This is a celebratory dinner.

486
00:30:53,664 --> 00:30:56,229
Penny didn't show up
for your pickup, did she?

487
00:30:57,043 --> 00:30:57,877
No.

488
00:30:59,003 --> 00:31:01,631
No, she didn't. Why?
Do you know something about that?

489
00:31:02,465 --> 00:31:03,971
She's gone, Dad.

490
00:31:05,092 --> 00:31:07,970
I rallied the younger Serpents.
We drove her out of Riverdale.

491
00:31:07,997 --> 00:31:10,874
- I got my pound of flesh in the process.
- Are you nuts?!

492
00:31:11,432 --> 00:31:14,143
- She'll be back. Better believe that.
- She won't!

493
00:31:14,685 --> 00:31:16,526
I was very persuasive.

494
00:31:17,223 --> 00:31:20,409
And even if she does,
we will take care of it.

495
00:31:20,775 --> 00:31:23,135
You and me and the other Serpents.

496
00:31:23,694 --> 00:31:25,404
- In unity, there is strength.
- Oh, God...

497
00:31:25,488 --> 00:31:27,392
That's the sixth law.
While you were in jail,

498
00:31:27,419 --> 00:31:30,143
I recited that every day.
I lived by that.

499
00:31:31,952 --> 00:31:33,204
You wanna take my jacket?

500
00:31:33,231 --> 00:31:36,108
You wanna relegate me to Toys for Tots?
Fine.

501
00:31:36,165 --> 00:31:38,626
But I'm still a Serpent, Dad. And this?

502
00:31:39,543 --> 00:31:41,962
This life you wanted to protect me from?

503
00:31:43,881 --> 00:31:44,965
I'm proud of this.

504
00:31:47,259 --> 00:31:49,846
I'm proud of who I am.

505
00:31:50,471 --> 00:31:52,473
You can't take that away from me.

506
00:31:54,850 --> 00:31:57,353
Nana Rose said it was a group of men.

507
00:31:58,229 --> 00:32:00,773
I mean, there's one photo
that I kind of remember.

508
00:32:01,190 --> 00:32:03,983
Dad said it was taken after Grandpa Louis
and some friends

509
00:32:04,010 --> 00:32:06,299
planted some trees in Pickens' Park.

510
00:32:09,127 --> 00:32:10,074
Wait.

511
00:32:10,616 --> 00:32:11,666
Is this it?

512
00:32:12,493 --> 00:32:13,869
Look at the ground.

513
00:32:13,953 --> 00:32:17,932
That's where they buried the preacher,
where Svenson could be maybe still alive.

514
00:32:18,833 --> 00:32:20,543
Yeah, look at the branches.

515
00:32:20,876 --> 00:32:23,587
- The devil's hand.
- That tree is in Pickens' Park.

516
00:32:25,756 --> 00:32:28,182
We'll call Sheriff Keller on the way.
Come on.

517
00:32:34,348 --> 00:32:36,353
Look around. There.

518
00:32:41,601 --> 00:32:44,140
_

519
00:32:44,900 --> 00:32:46,068
Yeah.

520
00:32:54,702 --> 00:32:56,078
Oh, my God, Archie.

521
00:33:10,634 --> 00:33:12,097
Where's Mr. Svenson?

522
00:33:15,139 --> 00:33:18,042
Why would the Black Hood bury
an empty coffin?

523
00:33:19,101 --> 00:33:20,478
What if it's a...?

524
00:33:23,022 --> 00:33:24,636
Get in the coffin.

525
00:33:28,068 --> 00:33:30,488
No. No way.

526
00:33:31,906 --> 00:33:35,863
Get in the coffin or I shoot her
in the head. Right now!

527
00:33:46,462 --> 00:33:49,772
Shut the coffin
and step out of the grave.

528
00:33:50,047 --> 00:33:51,436
Betty, do it.

529
00:33:59,016 --> 00:34:00,267
I'm sorry.

530
00:34:04,814 --> 00:34:06,561
Pick up the shovel.

531
00:34:06,857 --> 00:34:08,233
Fill in the grave.

532
00:34:10,653 --> 00:34:12,225
Please don't make me.

533
00:34:20,830 --> 00:34:24,225
We know what Mr. Svenson's sin is.

534
00:34:24,959 --> 00:34:26,045
What he did.

535
00:34:28,546 --> 00:34:30,717
That's the town's secret sin.

536
00:34:31,674 --> 00:34:33,884
That's what you want revealed, right?

537
00:34:34,718 --> 00:34:36,991
We can do that. I can do that.

538
00:34:37,638 --> 00:34:40,850
Mr. Svenson, wherever he is,
he doesn't have to die.

539
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:42,726
Archie doesn't have...

540
00:34:54,655 --> 00:34:55,781
Archie.

541
00:34:55,865 --> 00:34:58,341
- Where is he? Where'd he go?
- This way.

542
00:35:13,397 --> 00:35:14,440
Hey!

543
00:35:18,012 --> 00:35:19,060
Stop!

544
00:35:19,473 --> 00:35:20,433
Stop!

545
00:35:20,460 --> 00:35:21,795
Right down now!

546
00:35:22,808 --> 00:35:26,061
Get down or I'll shoot you.
I swear to God, I'll do it.

547
00:35:27,187 --> 00:35:29,724
You tried to kill my father.

548
00:35:30,024 --> 00:35:31,108
And my friends.

549
00:35:31,191 --> 00:35:33,235
You're gonna pay for your crimes.

550
00:35:33,319 --> 00:35:36,958
You are not escaping. This ends tonight.

551
00:35:40,534 --> 00:35:41,869
I said stop!

552
00:35:52,004 --> 00:35:53,422
Archie, put the gun down.

553
00:35:54,673 --> 00:35:56,300
- It's okay.
- Sheriff Keller.

554
00:35:56,383 --> 00:35:57,426
Stay back, Betty.

555
00:36:02,139 --> 00:36:03,349
He's dead.

556
00:36:04,183 --> 00:36:05,217
Who is he?

557
00:36:10,564 --> 00:36:12,836
The town demanded blood for blood.

558
00:36:34,254 --> 00:36:35,422
Give me the gun.

559
00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:56,127
Your instinct about
Svenson was right, Ronnie.

560
00:36:56,154 --> 00:36:58,624
You thought he
was the Black Hood.

561
00:36:58,852 --> 00:37:00,327
We could've ended it

562
00:37:00,354 --> 00:37:02,408
right there at school, where
we confronted him.

563
00:37:02,435 --> 00:37:05,459
I didn't see it,
I didn't see it in his eyes.

564
00:37:05,486 --> 00:37:07,069
Forget his eyes.

565
00:37:07,467 --> 00:37:09,842
I can't believe he cut
off his own finger.

566
00:37:09,869 --> 00:37:11,792
The finger of accusation.

567
00:37:12,819 --> 00:37:15,936
So, we know who done it.
Why did he do it?

568
00:37:15,963 --> 00:37:19,133
Mr. Svenson accused an innocent man

569
00:37:19,553 --> 00:37:22,438
of murdering his family
and got the man killed.

570
00:37:22,465 --> 00:37:24,052
So maybe in some backwards way,

571
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:25,844
he thought that
targeting sinners

572
00:37:25,871 --> 00:37:27,850
would balance the scales somehow.

573
00:37:28,199 --> 00:37:29,116
I don't know.

574
00:37:29,143 --> 00:37:30,519
No, no. It makes sense.

575
00:37:31,464 --> 00:37:35,743
I mean, Svenson was always around,
lurking in the hallways.

576
00:37:35,759 --> 00:37:38,429
He could've seen me and Miss Grundy
in the music room.

577
00:37:38,512 --> 00:37:40,931
Yeah, he could have seen Moose
and Midge buying Jingle-Jangle.

578
00:37:40,958 --> 00:37:44,476
Oh, guys, this is starting to feel
like that wierd last scene in Psycho.

579
00:37:45,644 --> 00:37:47,142
The truth is...

580
00:37:52,276 --> 00:37:55,923
I... have nothing, actually.

581
00:37:56,694 --> 00:37:59,030
Except that he's in a body bag
and we aren't.

582
00:38:00,231 --> 00:38:01,964
I think that's enough for tonight.

583
00:38:21,013 --> 00:38:24,475
Mother? Nana?
Is it time to open presents?

584
00:38:29,521 --> 00:38:30,568
Santa?

585
00:38:41,033 --> 00:38:42,435
Who's this one from?

586
00:38:43,285 --> 00:38:45,788
Archie. He dropped it off yesterday.

587
00:38:46,205 --> 00:38:48,002
Let me guess, that's from Betty.

588
00:38:48,029 --> 00:38:51,576
It's a vintage Underwood.
It's the typewriter of champions.

589
00:38:52,711 --> 00:38:55,428
You, uh... You maybe wanna swing by later?

590
00:38:55,589 --> 00:38:57,007
Say thanks in person?

591
00:38:58,485 --> 00:38:59,486
Oh, I'm...

592
00:38:59,968 --> 00:39:02,990
I mean, I'll probably just call her
or text her.

593
00:39:05,057 --> 00:39:07,112
_

594
00:39:07,139 --> 00:39:09,604
_

595
00:39:18,487 --> 00:39:20,301
Wow, that sounds amazing, Mom.

596
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:23,082
You know, it's been quiet.

597
00:39:24,326 --> 00:39:26,385
You too. I love you, too, Mom.

598
00:39:26,870 --> 00:39:28,182
All right, here's Dad.

599
00:39:29,081 --> 00:39:31,041
Hey there.

600
00:39:31,737 --> 00:39:33,741
- _
- Merry Christmas, lady.

601
00:39:33,768 --> 00:39:35,182
How are the Bahamas?

602
00:39:41,593 --> 00:39:42,588
Hey.

603
00:39:44,221 --> 00:39:45,222
Merry Christmas.

604
00:39:45,941 --> 00:39:46,775
Look up.

605
00:39:47,391 --> 00:39:48,726
Mistletoe alert.

606
00:39:48,809 --> 00:39:50,127
Hung by moi.

607
00:39:51,619 --> 00:39:53,814
Now we have no choice but to kiss.

608
00:40:00,863 --> 00:40:01,947
Archie.

609
00:40:04,032 --> 00:40:07,918
You're so good.
It's like you're filled with it.

610
00:40:08,245 --> 00:40:12,301
And I know that I need goodness
in my life.

611
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,990
I need you in my life.

612
00:40:17,671 --> 00:40:19,004
In other words...

613
00:40:22,567 --> 00:40:25,113
I love you, too, Archie Andrews.

614
00:40:44,364 --> 00:40:48,574
And so another mystery
was wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow...

615
00:40:48,911 --> 00:40:51,363
just in time for Christmas.

616
00:41:04,636 --> 00:41:06,152
_

617
00:41:10,207 --> 00:41:12,309
Throughout the Black Hood's reign
of terror,

618
00:41:12,392 --> 00:41:15,285
Betty had stared
into the blackest of voids.

619
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,424
The place where Joseph Conway's soul
had once perhaps existed.

620
00:41:27,157 --> 00:41:30,995
And in that void,
she had seen a dark reflection.

621
00:41:32,037 --> 00:41:35,079
A truth that could not be burned away.

622
00:41:42,289 --> 00:41:45,323
A truth that whispered to her:

623
00:41:45,996 --> 00:41:47,440
"This isn't over."

624
00:41:50,534 --> 00:41:53,635
