1
00:00:02,008 --> 00:00:06,995
[JUGHEAD] There's an old adage,
"You can't go home again",
2
00:00:06,998 --> 00:00:10,464
which was certainly ringing true for us.
3
00:00:10,467 --> 00:00:12,795
Archie had been in a war,
4
00:00:12,798 --> 00:00:15,010
Betty was an FBI agent,
5
00:00:15,013 --> 00:00:16,704
Veronica was married,
6
00:00:16,707 --> 00:00:19,290
Toni was Queen of the Serpents
7
00:00:19,293 --> 00:00:21,551
and I was a published writer.
8
00:00:21,554 --> 00:00:23,507
So why were we only talking about
9
00:00:23,510 --> 00:00:26,317
how the town of Riverdale had fallen
10
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,141
and Archie's pipe dream
to somehow save it?
11
00:00:30,144 --> 00:00:31,594
Probably because it was easier
12
00:00:31,597 --> 00:00:33,688
than the conversations that awaited us.
13
00:00:35,233 --> 00:00:36,633
[JUGHEAD] Why didn't you reach out?
14
00:00:40,001 --> 00:00:42,027
[BETTY] I didn't think you wanted me to
15
00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:44,129
after you left me that voicemail.
16
00:00:46,235 --> 00:00:48,995
On the night of your book launch?
17
00:00:48,998 --> 00:00:52,826
After that, I just assumed you
didn't want to hear from me.
18
00:00:55,595 --> 00:00:56,687
That wasn't my intention.
19
00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:58,990
I'm sorry if it came off that way.
20
00:00:58,993 --> 00:01:00,692
It was nice to see you,
21
00:01:01,604 --> 00:01:04,402
even if it's strange to be back here,
22
00:01:04,405 --> 00:01:07,275
just deeply uncanny.
23
00:01:07,278 --> 00:01:11,073
Same old Archie, though.
Trying to save everyone.
24
00:01:11,076 --> 00:01:14,079
Good luck with that, dude.
25
00:01:14,082 --> 00:01:16,517
I mean I have a book to write.
26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,431
Yeah, after Pop's retirement party,
27
00:01:18,434 --> 00:01:21,118
I have to get back to Quantico.
28
00:01:21,121 --> 00:01:23,604
It's good to see you, too, Jug,
29
00:01:23,607 --> 00:01:26,467
even though it is a bit weird.
30
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:34,240
That's some rock on your finger, Ronnie.
31
00:01:35,659 --> 00:01:38,543
- He must be a great guy.
- Chad?
32
00:01:38,546 --> 00:01:42,056
Yeah, he is, underneath
the bluster and bravado.
33
00:01:44,801 --> 00:01:46,602
What about you, Bugle Boy?
34
00:01:46,605 --> 00:01:48,289
I'm sure you've had a swarm of lovers.
35
00:01:49,426 --> 00:01:52,211
I don't know about that.
36
00:01:52,214 --> 00:01:55,895
The last real relationship
I was in... was,
37
00:01:55,898 --> 00:01:57,501
well, it was with you.
38
00:02:01,429 --> 00:02:05,274
Devil-may-care fling never
hurt anybody, Archie.
39
00:02:05,277 --> 00:02:08,107
Besides, you should be having
fun at this point in your life.
40
00:02:08,110 --> 00:02:09,847
Because once you're married...
41
00:02:11,337 --> 00:02:14,973
Well, that's why this is
just a quick jaunt for me.
42
00:02:14,976 --> 00:02:17,560
I have to go back to
my life, my husband.
43
00:02:19,012 --> 00:02:20,012
Yeah, for sure.
44
00:02:25,668 --> 00:02:27,636
- Mom?
- Shh.
45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,108
I brought you a vanilla
milkshake, extra thick.
46
00:02:30,111 --> 00:02:33,003
Oh, thanks, sweetheart.
Will you put in the fridge?
47
00:02:33,006 --> 00:02:35,266
Keep your voice down. The
twins are finally asleep.
48
00:02:35,269 --> 00:02:36,570
Sure.
49
00:02:36,573 --> 00:02:38,958
- Is Polly home yet?
- Nope. Not yet.
50
00:02:40,572 --> 00:02:42,731
It's pretty late. Where is she?
51
00:02:42,734 --> 00:02:45,560
Oh, you know, out and about
at work. You know your sister.
52
00:02:59,010 --> 00:03:00,010
[EXHALES]
53
00:03:15,191 --> 00:03:16,191
[PHONE DINGS]
54
00:03:19,412 --> 00:03:21,922
[SAMM] Jones, it's Samm.
Where the hell are you?
55
00:03:21,925 --> 00:03:24,141
And where are your pages? Scribners...
56
00:03:24,144 --> 00:03:25,287
[WOMAN] Forsythe Jones,
57
00:03:25,290 --> 00:03:29,251
you currently owe $9,876
to Premiere Credit.
58
00:03:29,254 --> 00:03:32,289
If you do not pay the outstanding
balance within 24 hours...
59
00:03:38,481 --> 00:03:41,265
[KEVIN] So, how did
the Bughead reunion go?
60
00:03:42,718 --> 00:03:44,277
As well as it could have,
61
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,018
considering not all of us
could be happily shacked up
62
00:03:47,021 --> 00:03:48,597
with our high school sweethearts, Kev.
63
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,619
Uh, FBI agent, high
school drama teacher.
64
00:03:51,622 --> 00:03:53,314
I'm technically not an agent yet.
65
00:03:57,592 --> 00:04:00,612
- Oh, my God.
- What? What is it?
66
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:03,097
Charles. He kept files
of everyone in my family,
67
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:05,161
including me and...
68
00:04:05,164 --> 00:04:08,174
tapes of our phone
conversations, I think.
69
00:04:12,305 --> 00:04:14,256
[POLLY] Edgar, is it really you?
70
00:04:14,259 --> 00:04:16,352
[BETTY] No, bitch, it's your sister.
71
00:04:16,355 --> 00:04:19,215
- [POLLY] What?
- And you're as good as dead to me now too.
72
00:04:19,218 --> 00:04:21,153
[POLLY] What the...
73
00:04:21,156 --> 00:04:26,218
- Is that...
- Me, calling Polly on Halloween years ago.
74
00:04:30,384 --> 00:04:32,388
Let's just get right to it, Daddy.
75
00:04:32,391 --> 00:04:34,234
I want back in on the family businesses.
76
00:04:34,237 --> 00:04:36,155
I'm confused. Don't
you live in New York?
77
00:04:36,158 --> 00:04:37,503
As it so happens,
78
00:04:37,506 --> 00:04:40,361
Chadwick and I are looking
for a weekend home,
79
00:04:40,364 --> 00:04:41,789
possibly here in Riverdale.
80
00:04:42,711 --> 00:04:43,928
I see.
81
00:04:43,931 --> 00:04:46,182
Well, unfortunately for you,
82
00:04:46,185 --> 00:04:48,241
Hermosa moved the rum business to Miami.
83
00:04:48,244 --> 00:04:52,448
And I sold La Bonne Nuit
to Toni Topaz years ago.
84
00:04:52,451 --> 00:04:53,781
Without telling me?
85
00:04:53,784 --> 00:04:55,742
It must have slipped my mind.
86
00:04:55,745 --> 00:04:59,083
Like how you forgot to tell me
that you were marrying Chad.
87
00:04:59,086 --> 00:05:02,014
By the way, if you're truly
interested in a weekend home,
88
00:05:02,017 --> 00:05:04,160
might I suggest a property in SoDale?
89
00:05:04,163 --> 00:05:06,822
Oh, you mean Stepford
for bougie mobsters?
90
00:05:06,825 --> 00:05:08,425
No, thanks. I'm good.
91
00:05:13,367 --> 00:05:15,084
[TONI] So you want me to give you a job?
92
00:05:15,087 --> 00:05:16,954
I just need some quick cash.
93
00:05:16,957 --> 00:05:19,935
Kinda hoping you could hook me
up with something short-term.
94
00:05:19,938 --> 00:05:22,940
You're lucky I'm even
willing to serve you, Jones.
95
00:05:22,943 --> 00:05:25,525
- What? Why?
- [SWEET PEA] What the hell is he doing here?
96
00:05:25,528 --> 00:05:27,413
No way, Toni. No way.
97
00:05:27,416 --> 00:05:30,801
Gathering some research for
your next book there, Jones?
98
00:05:33,053 --> 00:05:36,553
Hang on. Are you guys actually
upset about my novel?
99
00:05:36,556 --> 00:05:38,177
You made the Serpents
look like fools in it.
100
00:05:38,180 --> 00:05:41,349
You mean the Vipers? The
Vipers were the good guys.
101
00:05:41,352 --> 00:05:42,853
I didn't use your actual names.
102
00:05:42,856 --> 00:05:45,407
You think people around
here couldn't figure out
103
00:05:45,410 --> 00:05:48,754
who, what was that one
character's name, "Toothy" was?
104
00:05:48,757 --> 00:05:50,445
Yeah, or Pop Eye?
105
00:05:50,448 --> 00:05:52,958
You mocked our Serpent
traditions and codes,
106
00:05:52,961 --> 00:05:55,179
and now you're asking for our help?
107
00:05:55,182 --> 00:05:58,234
Toni, guys.
108
00:05:58,237 --> 00:06:01,217
Okay, I'll help. I'll
give you some advice.
109
00:06:01,220 --> 00:06:03,230
Watch your back, Jones.
110
00:06:03,233 --> 00:06:05,275
You've made a lot of
enemies in this town.
111
00:06:11,841 --> 00:06:12,843
Principal Weatherbee,
112
00:06:12,846 --> 00:06:13,952
as I wrote in my email,
113
00:06:13,955 --> 00:06:17,038
I'm here to relaunch Riverdale
High's RROTC program.
114
00:06:17,041 --> 00:06:18,301
Archie, I meant to reply,
115
00:06:18,304 --> 00:06:20,260
but it's been chaotic, to say the least.
116
00:06:20,263 --> 00:06:21,963
What's up?
117
00:06:21,966 --> 00:06:23,716
It's looking like Riverdale
High might not be
118
00:06:23,719 --> 00:06:25,645
opening up its doors next Monday.
119
00:06:25,648 --> 00:06:27,209
Like everything else in this town,
120
00:06:27,212 --> 00:06:29,266
our budget's been cut almost to nothing.
121
00:06:29,269 --> 00:06:30,489
- Thanks to...
- Hiram Lodge.
122
00:06:31,819 --> 00:06:33,320
Is there anything I can do, sir?
123
00:06:33,323 --> 00:06:34,905
Alice, you're on the PTA.
124
00:06:34,908 --> 00:06:36,999
Any word on which way
the school board's leaning?
125
00:06:37,002 --> 00:06:39,003
The board has some serious doubts.
126
00:06:39,006 --> 00:06:40,930
I mean we're a skeleton crew here.
127
00:06:40,933 --> 00:06:44,739
Kevin, you're teaching
what, five classes?
128
00:06:44,742 --> 00:06:50,214
Drama, Debate, Biology, Gym and Sex Ed.
129
00:06:50,217 --> 00:06:51,685
[TONI] So are we dead in the water?
130
00:06:51,688 --> 00:06:54,067
Not yet. There are some
members of the board
131
00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:56,021
that would like to see
the school stay open
132
00:06:56,024 --> 00:06:59,364
if we can prove that we have
the personnel and resources
133
00:06:59,367 --> 00:07:01,777
that are required,
which is questionable.
134
00:07:01,780 --> 00:07:04,550
Well, the board will hear arguments
before the vote, right?
135
00:07:04,553 --> 00:07:05,863
So we should all be there.
136
00:07:05,866 --> 00:07:08,305
I'll speak, and in the meantime,
137
00:07:08,308 --> 00:07:09,709
let's target the board members
138
00:07:09,712 --> 00:07:11,639
who are still waffling and work on them.
139
00:07:11,642 --> 00:07:14,594
If we lose this vote,
we lose this school.
140
00:07:14,597 --> 00:07:16,597
And that's another nail
in Riverdale's coffin.

It is. And you're Jughead Jones.
145
00:07:54,906 --> 00:07:58,583
Yeah, I am. Hey, I noticed that
you're looking for a new waiter.
146
00:07:58,586 --> 00:08:00,587
I'm definitely interested.
147
00:08:00,590 --> 00:08:04,227
Thanks. But this definitely
isn't the right job for you.
148
00:08:04,230 --> 00:08:05,431
You don't even know me.
149
00:08:05,434 --> 00:08:07,392
Also, you can't just sit here
all day using my internet.
150
00:08:07,395 --> 00:08:10,355
You have to actually order
food, not just coffee.
151
00:08:10,358 --> 00:08:13,195
And then you have to pay for said food.
152
00:08:13,198 --> 00:08:16,351
My grandfather did things
his way, and I do them mine.
153
00:08:16,354 --> 00:08:20,023

diner is no running tabs.

[SWEET PEA] You lost, old man?
157
00:08:36,930 --> 00:08:40,400
It's okay, guys. I got this.
158
00:08:40,403 --> 00:08:42,418
Look, you can save your breath.
159
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:43,472
If you're here to bribe me
160
00:08:43,475 --> 00:08:46,885
or threaten me into giving up the
fight to save Riverdale High...
161
00:08:48,464 --> 00:08:51,158
- How many students do you have?
- A hundred or so.
162
00:08:51,161 --> 00:08:54,490
What if I offer them all a
scholarship to Stonewall?
163
00:08:54,493 --> 00:08:57,842
They'd be getting a world-class
education at zero cost.
164
00:08:57,845 --> 00:09:00,701
Except for the fact that you're
on the board at Stonewall Prep,
165
00:09:00,704 --> 00:09:01,970
which means on some level,
166
00:09:01,973 --> 00:09:03,693
the school must reflect your morals,
167
00:09:03,696 --> 00:09:06,215
which I'm not okay with.
168
00:09:06,218 --> 00:09:07,495
What if I told you that
169
00:09:07,498 --> 00:09:11,431
there was an open counselor
position with a corner office
170
00:09:11,434 --> 00:09:13,361
and a big, fat paycheck?
171
00:09:13,364 --> 00:09:15,299
Thanks, but no thanks.
172
00:09:15,302 --> 00:09:17,353
So we're playing hardball, huh?
173
00:09:17,356 --> 00:09:18,356
