Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,453 --> 00:00:04,921
Heroes.
2
00:00:05,195 --> 00:00:08,094
Some are born on the gridiron
and baseball diamonds.
3
00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:11,383
Others are ripped
from the pages of comic books.
4
00:00:11,468 --> 00:00:14,642
But then there are folk heroes,
champions of the common people.
5
00:00:14,727 --> 00:00:15,867
You've heard of them.
6
00:00:15,952 --> 00:00:18,804
John Henry, Johnny
Appleseed, Davy Crockett.
7
00:00:19,818 --> 00:00:23,476
Folk heroes are symbols of courage
for the oppressed.
8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,210
Riverdale was being threatened
by a villain with a seemingly
9
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:28,973
supernatural ability
to control minds.
10
00:00:29,057 --> 00:00:30,540
We needed a hero to defeat him,
11
00:00:30,624 --> 00:00:32,716
one who wouldn't manipulate
our neighbors
12
00:00:32,937 --> 00:00:36,593
towards their worst impulses
but inspire them to do their best.
13
00:00:36,766 --> 00:00:39,377
We needed
a modern day folk hero.
14
00:00:43,686 --> 00:00:46,474
So, Mr. Pickens, what brings you
to the Babylonium?
15
00:00:46,558 --> 00:00:48,041
Oh, please call me Percival.
16
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:51,131
And since I'm the newest
member of the council,
17
00:00:51,215 --> 00:00:52,999
I need a more
permanent home in Riverdale.
18
00:00:53,084 --> 00:00:57,445
And I was hoping to take up
residence in one of your champagne suites.
19
00:00:57,530 --> 00:00:59,840
No chance.
20
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:02,925
You came after me and my casino
the second you arrived in town.
21
00:01:03,009 --> 00:01:04,971
Look, I can only
apologize for that.
22
00:01:05,056 --> 00:01:08,973
I... It seems I've underestimated
the Babylonium's potential.
23
00:01:09,392 --> 00:01:11,179
And yours.
24
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:14,372
In any case, now that I have
stepped down as deputy
25
00:01:14,456 --> 00:01:16,243
to open up a curiosity shop
in town,
26
00:01:16,327 --> 00:01:18,376
I'm less concerned
with matters of law and order.
27
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:19,855
Mmm.
28
00:01:19,939 --> 00:01:22,554
Now about that champagne suite,
I can pay you
29
00:01:22,638 --> 00:01:28,081
a year's rent, a year's back
rent, and a year's security deposit
30
00:01:28,165 --> 00:01:30,344
today, in cash.
31
00:01:30,428 --> 00:01:33,391
Also, not to step on Kevin Keller's
toes, but I'm quite the crooner.
32
00:01:33,475 --> 00:01:38,004
- Are you now?
- Oh, yes, I've sung Caesar's Palace,
33
00:01:38,088 --> 00:01:39,919
Sydney Opera House,
Moulin Rouge.
34
00:01:40,003 --> 00:01:42,484
Not to brag,
but the ladies love me.
35
00:01:43,746 --> 00:01:46,317
Confidentially, so do the men.
36
00:01:46,401 --> 00:01:50,364
- Cash, you said?
- Cash it is.
37
00:01:50,448 --> 00:01:53,236
- Are you certain about this, Brittania?
- Yes, Mistress Cheryl.
38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,023
When my parents heard about you
wanting to adopt me,
39
00:01:57,107 --> 00:02:01,680
they thought about it and they're
ready to accept me for who I am.
40
00:02:01,764 --> 00:02:05,031
In that case, Godspeed.
41
00:02:05,115 --> 00:02:06,104
And thank you.
42
00:02:06,189 --> 00:02:08,034
If not for your efforts,
I would have been trapped
43
00:02:08,118 --> 00:02:10,947
in the corridors of Abigail
Blossom's mind forever.
44
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:13,474
For that...
45
00:02:13,558 --> 00:02:15,691
you will always
have a place here.
46
00:02:25,483 --> 00:02:30,445
And next on the agenda is the
Pickens Park Revitalization Project.
47
00:02:33,230 --> 00:02:37,455
Now, as we all know,
Pickens Park,
48
00:02:37,539 --> 00:02:41,151
once magnificent,
has sadly become blighted.
49
00:02:42,108 --> 00:02:44,023
Drugs, crime, and worse.
50
00:02:45,547 --> 00:02:47,639
Which is why I am so excited
51
00:02:47,723 --> 00:02:50,903
to reveal to you...
52
00:02:50,987 --> 00:02:56,212
the park's future. As you can see, it
will feature new playgrounds for children,
53
00:02:56,296 --> 00:02:59,868
repaved pathways for cycling,
and where it stood before,
54
00:02:59,952 --> 00:03:02,436
a glorious new statue
of my ancestor,
55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,179
General Pickens, the man
credited with taming these wild lands.
56
00:03:06,263 --> 00:03:07,615
You can't be serious, right?
57
00:03:07,699 --> 00:03:10,662
General Pickens
was a homicidal maniac
58
00:03:10,746 --> 00:03:11,967
who slaughtered
the Uktena tribe.
59
00:03:12,051 --> 00:03:13,578
We all learned that
in high school.
60
00:03:13,662 --> 00:03:15,928
Yeah, and I think before
anything is approved,
61
00:03:16,012 --> 00:03:17,753
it's important to remember
why the statue
62
00:03:17,838 --> 00:03:20,454
was removed in the first place.
For a lot of people in Riverdale,
63
00:03:20,538 --> 00:03:22,674
General Pickens isn't a hero,
64
00:03:22,758 --> 00:03:25,938
but rather an offensive reminder
of our town's dark history.
65
00:03:26,022 --> 00:03:28,593
Very well.
We'll revisit this,
66
00:03:28,677 --> 00:03:32,379
but in the meantime, let's move
on to the next order of business.
67
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:34,294
The new town sign.
68
00:03:34,378 --> 00:03:38,600
Now, the updated design approved
by a majority of this council...
69
00:03:40,166 --> 00:03:44,260
sadly, won't have room
for the town's slogan.
70
00:03:44,344 --> 00:03:47,525
"Home of
Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe."
71
00:03:47,609 --> 00:03:49,918
So, we'll have
to lose that I'm afraid.
72
00:03:50,002 --> 00:03:52,674
- What's your problem with me?
- Dunno what you mean.
73
00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:55,635
What about the fact that you decided
to remove Pop's from the town sign?
74
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,535
Well, that's an
aesthetic decision.
75
00:03:57,619 --> 00:04:00,146
Tabitha, I can assure you
I'm not your enemy.
76
00:04:00,230 --> 00:04:02,365
In fact, friendly advice.
77
00:04:02,449 --> 00:04:06,195
Instead of expending
all your energy fighting me,
78
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:08,673
you should consider an
actual threat to your livelihood.
79
00:04:10,109 --> 00:04:11,244
Veronica Lodge?
80
00:04:11,328 --> 00:04:14,116
- Her casino.
- What are you talking about?
81
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,076
I probably shouldn't say
anything, but the council is holding
82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,341
a special meeting to approve a
billboard promoting the Babylonium.
83
00:04:21,425 --> 00:04:24,518
Now, since that stretch of highway
is only zoned for two billboards,
84
00:04:24,602 --> 00:04:27,565
the town's and one other...
85
00:04:27,649 --> 00:04:31,348
shouldn't you be fighting to make
that a Pop's advertisement instead?
86
00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:34,177
Think about it.
87
00:04:39,269 --> 00:04:41,927
It's like Percival has has
the whole town in his thrall.
88
00:04:42,011 --> 00:04:45,191
And the irony is, as far as
everyone else is concerned,
89
00:04:45,275 --> 00:04:47,410
Percival is a great guy.
90
00:04:47,494 --> 00:04:52,024
Oh, except never mind the fact
that he's killed people.
91
00:04:52,108 --> 00:04:53,852
How do you fight mind control?
92
00:04:53,936 --> 00:04:55,852
Actually, there might be a way.
93
00:04:55,937 --> 00:04:57,993
I've been reading this
parapsychology book last night,
94
00:04:58,077 --> 00:05:00,554
and some of the scientists
think that you can actually resist
95
00:05:00,638 --> 00:05:03,078
mind control through something
called an emotional anchor.
96
00:05:03,162 --> 00:05:05,080
It essentially
acts as a tether,
97
00:05:05,164 --> 00:05:07,605
connecting you to what you
feel like your core identity is.
98
00:05:07,689 --> 00:05:09,215
And as long as you
stay connected
99
00:05:09,299 --> 00:05:12,914
to whatever that thing is,
he can't get a grasp on you.
100
00:05:12,998 --> 00:05:15,830
Okay, so if I were
one on one with Percival,
101
00:05:15,914 --> 00:05:18,746
I would just think about
my mom or Polly.
102
00:05:18,830 --> 00:05:22,620
Before he gets his hooks on you,
yeah, you might be able to resist.
103
00:05:22,704 --> 00:05:24,143
That's a great strategy
for us, Jug,
104
00:05:24,227 --> 00:05:26,319
but what about
the rest of the town?
105
00:05:26,403 --> 00:05:28,277
You're right. Before we try to
figure out what his ultimate plan is,
106
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:32,020
we have to focus on trying
to free the stranglehold
107
00:05:32,104 --> 00:05:33,500
that he has
on our friends and neighbors.
108
00:05:33,584 --> 00:05:37,591
By beating him at his own game.
Not manipulation.
109
00:05:37,675 --> 00:05:41,290
Inspiration.
The people of the town...
110
00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:45,904
they need to be reminded of who
they are, what their core values are.
111
00:05:45,988 --> 00:05:47,775
Decency. Kindness. Fairness.
112
00:05:47,859 --> 00:05:49,298
But they need someone
to look up to,
113
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:52,563
a hero that can point them
in the direction of good.
114
00:05:52,647 --> 00:05:55,127
Archie, that hero
needs to be you.
115
00:05:56,825 --> 00:05:59,439
- What are you talking about?
- You're the closest thing we have
116
00:05:59,523 --> 00:06:03,225
to an authentic American folk hero
who can rouse people towards good
117
00:06:03,309 --> 00:06:06,925
And what's better than a
homegrown son of good Fred Andrews,
118
00:06:07,009 --> 00:06:08,579
champion of the common folk?
119
00:06:08,663 --> 00:06:10,711
Not everyone sees me
in that light.
120
00:06:10,795 --> 00:06:13,671
They will, in time, once you win back
the hearts and minds of the town's people,
121
00:06:13,755 --> 00:06:17,718
including the ones that are currently
under Percival's supernatural charisma.
122
00:06:17,802 --> 00:06:20,199
- We can stop his mad ascent...
- Vote his ass off the council.
123
00:06:20,283 --> 00:06:23,260
Sign me up. But we
can't just decide Archie's
124
00:06:23,345 --> 00:06:25,291
a folk hero and
people will believe him.
125
00:06:25,375 --> 00:06:27,162
No, no,
he'll need to demonstrate it.
126
00:06:27,246 --> 00:06:31,207
But lucky for us, Archie's
already a legend in the making.
127
00:06:32,382 --> 00:06:34,300
And my ex-literary manager
has a connection
128
00:06:34,384 --> 00:06:36,650
to the Guinness Book of World Records.
129
00:06:36,734 --> 00:06:39,305
Also. Are you still in touch with K.O.
Kelly? 'Cause we might need his help.
130
00:06:39,389 --> 00:06:40,869
Yes.
131
00:06:49,094 --> 00:06:52,231
Stare all you want, Abigail,
but you'll never get out
132
00:06:52,315 --> 00:06:55,057
of that porcelain cage
and into my beautiful body.
133
00:07:02,804 --> 00:07:04,547
Oh, God.
134
00:07:04,631 --> 00:07:07,983
Is it warm in here?
135
00:07:35,793 --> 00:07:38,016
All right, the floor is now
open for public comment.
136
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:41,541
I'd like to make
an announcement.
137
00:07:41,625 --> 00:07:44,762
As of today, the El Royale will be
unavailable for town hall meetings.
138
00:07:46,456 --> 00:07:49,505
I've decided to reopen it
as a boxing gym for local kids.
139
00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:51,377
We sure that's a prudent idea?
140
00:07:51,461 --> 00:07:53,858
The El Royale started out
as a boxing gym.
141
00:07:53,942 --> 00:07:55,903
And for a while
it was a youth center.
142
00:07:55,987 --> 00:07:59,428
This would combine two of
my passions, physical fitness...
143
00:07:59,512 --> 00:08:02,867
And serving and inspiring the
community. Filling the youths of Riverdale
144
00:08:02,951 --> 00:08:04,782
with a sense
of personal and civic pride.
145
00:08:04,866 --> 00:08:07,306
Instilling in them
some much needed values.
146
00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:11,005
Leading with compassion,
reminding them to think for themselves.
147
00:08:11,089 --> 00:08:13,442
I'm sorry.
All due respect, gentlemen,
148
00:08:13,526 --> 00:08:16,532
but ow is this ramshackle place
going to inspire anyone?
149
00:08:16,616 --> 00:08:18,752
Because the El Royale
is about to be world famous.
150
00:08:18,836 --> 00:08:23,757
Owned and operated by the "World's
Toughest Man Alive," Archie Andrews.
151
00:08:23,841 --> 00:08:27,674
You see, an adjudicator of the Guinness
Book of World Records will be arriving soon
152
00:08:27,758 --> 00:08:30,503
to watch Archie perform a set
of feats of human endurance,
153
00:08:30,587 --> 00:08:32,548
I think, need to be seen
to be believed.
154
00:08:32,632 --> 00:08:35,421
So, we would like to invite
everyone far and wide
155
00:08:35,505 --> 00:08:38,903
to come and cheer on.
Riverdale's homegrown folk hero,
156
00:08:38,987 --> 00:08:41,166
Archie Andrews, "Man of Iron."
157
00:08:49,084 --> 00:08:54,135
Oh, 103, you're burning up
with fever as I suspected.
158
00:08:54,219 --> 00:08:56,398
- Last night, I feared I was burning alive.
- Oh!
159
00:08:56,482 --> 00:08:59,227
Get thee back to bed,
child, and rest.
160
00:08:59,311 --> 00:09:01,534
Thank you for taking care
of me, Nana.
161
00:09:01,618 --> 00:09:05,233
I'm not going to be taking
care of you. No, no, no,
162
00:09:05,317 --> 00:09:09,455
I must keep vigil over the
doll and its prisoner, Abigail.
163
00:09:09,539 --> 00:09:13,195
But I will hire a night nurse
to minister to your needs.
164
00:09:23,727 --> 00:09:26,037
Well, we'd like to start by
saying how much we appreciate
165
00:09:26,121 --> 00:09:29,649
all the time and effort you both
put into your individual proposals.
166
00:09:29,733 --> 00:09:36,699
But... we are going to go
with the Babylonium billboard.
167
00:09:36,783 --> 00:09:38,310
- Hmm.
- Yes.
168
00:09:38,394 --> 00:09:41,269
Now, while Pop's represents
Riverdale's past,
169
00:09:41,353 --> 00:09:43,532
we wanna look
towards its future.
170
00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:46,535
Percival reminded us
that a casino promises
171
00:09:46,619 --> 00:09:48,755
more revenue for
the town of Riverdale.
172
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:50,801
Short and long term.
173
00:09:50,885 --> 00:09:52,367
We hope
you understand
174
00:09:52,451 --> 00:09:55,936
Pops will always be
part of Riverdale's...
175
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:57,416
- Legacy?
- Hmm.
176
00:09:57,500 --> 00:09:58,765
Legacy?
177
00:09:58,849 --> 00:10:02,374
Yes, but also its present
and future, Percival.
178
00:10:03,723 --> 00:10:04,986
Count on it.
179
00:10:09,164 --> 00:10:11,430
- Well, that was rather awkward.
- Yeah.
180
00:10:11,514 --> 00:10:13,519
Should we, uh,
decamp to the El Royale,
181
00:10:13,603 --> 00:10:16,000
see what Archie's
feats of toughness are?
182
00:10:16,084 --> 00:10:18,176
I'm rather curious.
183
00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:21,916

According to Mr. Guinness, you
are now the World's Toughest Man.
209
00:11:42,953 --> 00:11:44,566
How's it feel?
210
00:11:44,650 --> 00:11:46,960
You know, my dad used to keep
a copy of that book in the john,
211
00:11:47,044 --> 00:11:49,528
so pretty good, I guess.
212
00:11:49,612 --> 00:11:52,487
And luckily, no one's asked too
many questions about my "feats".
213
00:11:52,571 --> 00:11:54,794
I feel like we erred on
the right sort of credulity.
214
00:11:54,878 --> 00:11:56,138
Also, um...
215
00:11:56,223 --> 00:11:59,842
did you see how the entire crowd turned
towards you and away from Percival?
216
00:11:59,926 --> 00:12:01,844
Yeah, he was pissed.
217
00:12:01,928 --> 00:12:03,123
So what's next?
218
00:12:03,208 --> 00:12:05,936
So, good news is your
statue is almost finished.
219
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:07,981
Wait. What statue?
220
00:12:08,065 --> 00:12:09,983
The one that I commissioned from a
sculptor friend of mine back in New York.
221
00:12:10,067 --> 00:12:14,248
Look, Percival is trying to
mythologize his great grandfather, right?
222
00:12:14,332 --> 00:12:15,946
So, we have to mythologize you.
223
00:12:16,030 --> 00:12:18,426
Jug, I'm not sure
about a statue.
224
00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:20,602
Okay. You're being
too modest, man.
225
00:12:20,686 --> 00:12:22,648
Also, K.O. Kelly
has agreed to the fight,
226
00:12:22,732 --> 00:12:25,172
- so he's all in.
- I'm not sure about that, either.
227
00:12:25,256 --> 00:12:28,088
And wouldn't my powers give
me an unfair advantage in the ring?
228
00:12:28,172 --> 00:12:30,830
I could hurt him,
not to mention his reputation.
229
00:12:30,914 --> 00:12:34,007
That's the beauty of this plan.
You don't actually have to win.
230
00:12:34,091 --> 00:12:35,617
Well, since K.O.
went professional,
231
00:12:35,701 --> 00:12:38,011
his whole thing is that
he knocks every opponent out
232
00:12:38,095 --> 00:12:40,013
that he fights. Every
single one. So, technically,
233
00:12:40,097 --> 00:12:42,668
all you have to do is stay
standing by the time the bell rings.
234
00:12:42,752 --> 00:12:44,844
He's going to get
the technical victory.
235
00:12:44,928 --> 00:12:46,802
But you're going to get the
Rocky-esque, inspirational victory
236
00:12:46,886 --> 00:12:51,503
and the legend of Archie
Andrews will just build and build.
237
00:12:51,587 --> 00:12:54,810
I'm sorry the billboard vote
didn't work out for you, Tabitha.
238
00:12:54,894 --> 00:12:58,075
- I've been trying to get one up for years.
- It's not just that, Toni.
239
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,861
Percival said something about
Babylonium being a threat to Pop's.
240
00:13:01,945 --> 00:13:03,543
And damned if he isn't right.
241
00:13:03,628 --> 00:13:06,518
I went over my books, and ever
since Veronica opened up her casino,
242
00:13:06,602 --> 00:13:08,215
my revenue's been going down.
243
00:13:08,299 --> 00:13:09,564
Join the club.
244
00:13:09,648 --> 00:13:11,958
Casinos give out
drinks for free,
245
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:15,135
so why would anybody come to
the Whyte Wyrm to pay for them?
246
00:13:15,219 --> 00:13:16,571
I hear you.
247
00:13:16,655 --> 00:13:18,573
But that's the thing.
Unlike the Whyte Wyrm,
248
00:13:18,657 --> 00:13:21,446
we're not direct competition
for the casino,
249
00:13:21,530 --> 00:13:23,361
so why is it eating into
my customer base?
250
00:13:23,445 --> 00:13:25,624
Well, have you been
to the Babylonium yet?
251
00:13:25,708 --> 00:13:27,843
I haven't had
a chance to yet. No.
252
00:13:27,927 --> 00:13:30,756
Well, maybe it's time
we check out our competition.
253
00:13:34,456 --> 00:13:36,896
Mmm.
254
00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:38,941
Danke, Darius.
255
00:13:39,025 --> 00:13:40,552
That was delicious.
256
00:13:40,636 --> 00:13:44,556
And thank you for watching over
my literally hot body
257
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,688
whilst my Nana keeps
her own vigil in the chapel.
258
00:13:46,772 --> 00:13:49,082
I was honored
to be asked back, Miss Cheryl.
259
00:13:49,166 --> 00:13:52,085
And after a good night's rest, hopefully,
your fever will have broken by morning.
260
00:13:52,169 --> 00:13:54,737
From your pillowy lips, Darius.
261
00:13:55,651 --> 00:13:59,307
♪ Is your mouth a little weak
262
00:14:00,438 --> 00:14:04,097
♪ When you open it to speak
263
00:14:04,181 --> 00:14:07,100
♪ Are you smart?

Excuse me.
265
00:14:10,333 --> 00:14:11,647
What do we have here?
266
00:14:11,732 --> 00:14:15,021
We have an assortment of sliders,
tater tots, and pigs-in-a-blanket.
267
00:14:15,105 --> 00:14:16,541
On the house, of course.
268
00:14:18,456 --> 00:14:21,245
The Babylonium is
serving diner food?
269
00:14:21,329 --> 00:14:22,942
And that's not all.
270
00:14:23,026 --> 00:14:24,509
What is this?
271
00:14:24,593 --> 00:14:27,120
Liquor-infused milkshake shots.
Would you like one?
272
00:14:27,204 --> 00:14:29,163
Oh, hell no.
273
00:14:32,209 --> 00:14:36,561
♪ It's Valentine's Day
274
00:14:43,307 --> 00:14:46,139
Ah! Darius, I feel
so much cooler and fresh.
275
00:14:46,223 --> 00:14:47,833
Your soup must've...
276
00:14:52,186 --> 00:14:53,317
Darius?
277
00:14:54,884 --> 00:14:56,190
Abigail.
278
00:14:58,148 --> 00:14:59,718
What's the matter, child?
279
00:14:59,802 --> 00:15:02,373
Nana, poor Darius
has burned to a crisp.
280
00:15:02,457 --> 00:15:04,201
He's nothing more
than a pile of ash.
281
00:15:04,285 --> 00:15:05,811
I am certain
it's Abigail's doing.
282
00:15:05,895 --> 00:15:10,204
Oh, but the doll,
it hasn't twitched all night.
283
00:15:13,903 --> 00:15:15,995
It's cool to the touch.
284
00:15:16,079 --> 00:15:17,388
What new bedevilment is this?
285
00:15:17,472 --> 00:15:19,955
Archie Andrews,
World's Toughest Man.
286
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:23,220
K.O. Kelly, the Knockout Champ.
I'm glad you could make it.
287
00:15:23,304 --> 00:15:24,873
I never turn down a good fight.
288
00:15:24,957 --> 00:15:28,225
Holy crap, bro,
you're like a damn rock.
289
00:15:28,309 --> 00:15:30,140
You getting yoked or what?
290
00:15:30,224 --> 00:15:32,229
Must be all
the construction work.
291
00:15:32,313 --> 00:15:35,667
And I appreciate you coming to town,
promoting the gym, and boosting morale.
292
00:15:35,751 --> 00:15:37,669
Nah, man. I'll go easy on ya.
293
00:15:37,753 --> 00:15:40,454
Hate to ruin that pretty face.
But, uh...
294
00:15:40,538 --> 00:15:42,326
where's your ring?
295
00:15:42,410 --> 00:15:44,023
I'm going to spend the day setting
it up. Do you want to help me?
296
00:15:44,107 --> 00:15:45,851
Nah, man.
297
00:15:45,935 --> 00:15:49,333
Katy told me all
about Veronica's new casino.
298
00:15:49,417 --> 00:15:51,506
- Hmm.
- Thought I might check it out.
299
00:15:52,289 --> 00:15:54,033
Yeah. Good call.
300
00:15:54,117 --> 00:15:56,424
Well, you called, I came.
301
00:15:57,642 --> 00:16:00,257
What exactly
am I looking at here?
302
00:16:00,341 --> 00:16:04,870
Cousin, those are the meager earthly
remains of my night nurse, Darius.
303
00:16:04,954 --> 00:16:08,265
When I fell asleep,
he was sitting in that chair,
304
00:16:08,349 --> 00:16:12,486
and when I awoke,
he had burned to ash.
305
00:16:12,570 --> 00:16:15,315
There are pieces of bone
in here.
306
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:17,230
And why didn't his feet burn?
307
00:16:17,314 --> 00:16:22,192
Why don't I gather what's left of
Darius and bring him to Dr. Curdle Jr?
308
00:16:22,276 --> 00:16:23,806
That's step number one.
309
00:16:23,891 --> 00:16:24,939
Okay.
310
00:16:25,024 --> 00:16:27,414
There's no way we can
compete against a casino
311
00:16:27,498 --> 00:16:29,155
with a budget
of a Baz Luhrmann film.
312
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:32,637
Look, we're two Davids versus
a Babylonian-sized Goliath.
313
00:16:32,721 --> 00:16:35,509
Veronica's clearly prioritized
profit over friendship.
314
00:16:35,593 --> 00:16:38,643
So, I say we do the same
and team up.
315
00:16:38,727 --> 00:16:42,081
Fight fire with fire. I could
apply for a liquor license
316
00:16:42,165 --> 00:16:43,778
and start serving alcohol,
317
00:16:43,862 --> 00:16:46,607
placing all of my orders through
the Whyte Wyrm, of course.
318
00:16:46,691 --> 00:16:49,697
And I could install a couple
of slot machines downstairs
319
00:16:49,781 --> 00:16:52,439
and maybe even a craps table.
320
00:16:52,523 --> 00:16:54,572
But what do we do
about live entertainment?
321
00:16:54,656 --> 00:16:57,009
We need an act that will get
people talking and fast.
322
00:16:57,093 --> 00:16:59,272
What if I resurrect the
idea of a singing diner?
323
00:16:59,357 --> 00:17:00,357
Yeah.
324
00:17:00,575 --> 00:17:03,233
Or I could step it up a notch.
325
00:17:03,317 --> 00:17:05,060
There is an
old tradition that's
326
00:17:05,144 --> 00:17:08,325
due for a Cirque de Soleil-type
re-invention.
327
00:17:08,409 --> 00:17:09,624
What tradition?
328
00:17:09,709 --> 00:17:12,696
It's a little thing we
call the Serpent Dance.
329
00:17:12,780 --> 00:17:13,780
Oh.
330
00:17:15,981 --> 00:17:17,769
Ms. Lodge.
So sorry to interrupt.
331
00:17:17,853 --> 00:17:20,424
If you're having problems with
the Champagne Suite, Percival,
332
00:17:20,508 --> 00:17:23,340
talk to the building manager. I
don't handle maintenance issues.
333
00:17:23,424 --> 00:17:25,472
Oh, no, my accommodations
are superb.
334
00:17:25,556 --> 00:17:27,605
I was actually just nipping out
to run an errand,
335
00:17:27,689 --> 00:17:30,782
and I thought I'd pop by
with a proposition. You see,
336
00:17:30,866 --> 00:17:33,350
the more time I spend
at the Babylonium,
337
00:17:33,434 --> 00:17:36,004
the more this place
feels like home.
338
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:38,920
And I suppose,
I was just wondering,
339
00:17:39,004 --> 00:17:43,531
if you and I shouldn't explore
a more robust partnership.
340
00:17:44,967 --> 00:17:47,015
In what respect?
341
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:51,455
Well, I could become an investor, help
take the Babylonium to the next level.
342
00:17:51,539 --> 00:17:55,067
Only thing is,
I already have a partner.
343
00:17:55,151 --> 00:17:57,983
Oh, yes, Reginald Mantle.
344
00:17:58,067 --> 00:18:01,291
Where is he? I haven't
seen him since I moved in.
345
00:18:01,375 --> 00:18:02,683
Mantle Motors.
346
00:18:02,767 --> 00:18:05,164
Helping his dad
with the dealership.
347
00:18:05,248 --> 00:18:06,644
Hmm. That sounds right. Um...
348
00:18:06,728 --> 00:18:08,385
Look, I don't mean
to stir trouble,
349
00:18:08,469 --> 00:18:10,629
but you're sure that's where
he is and what he's doing?
350
00:18:12,473 --> 00:18:14,086
Cut the crap, Percival.
351
00:18:14,170 --> 00:18:15,827
Is there something
you know that that I don't?
352
00:18:15,911 --> 00:18:18,395
No. Do you know what?
353
00:18:18,479 --> 00:18:19,831
I shouldn't say anything else.
354
00:18:19,915 --> 00:18:22,047
You should really
see this for yourself.
355
00:18:25,050 --> 00:18:26,925
What the hell, Reginald?
356
00:18:27,009 --> 00:18:28,927
What are you doing here?
357
00:18:29,011 --> 00:18:31,016
Running a satellite casino
behind my back?
358
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:34,324
Using slot machines stolen
from the Babylonium?
359
00:18:34,408 --> 00:18:35,716
They're on loan.
360
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,329
This is just... a side hustle.
361
00:18:39,413 --> 00:18:42,244
Another one in our long
history of side hustles.
362
00:18:42,328 --> 00:18:43,507
We're both benefitting.
363
00:18:44,940 --> 00:18:46,814
How stupid do you think
I am, Reggie?
364
00:18:46,898 --> 00:18:49,513
We're in the fight of our lives
to make the Babylonium solvent,
365
00:18:49,597 --> 00:18:51,515
and you're siphoning
money away from us?
366
00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:54,387
Well, maybe I wanted something of
my own, where I could call the shots.
367
00:18:54,471 --> 00:18:57,303
So this is about ego, then?
368
00:18:57,387 --> 00:19:01,133
Fine. You know what? You can
keep the slot machines you "borrowed,"
369
00:19:01,217 --> 00:19:03,614
but as far as I'm concerned,
you're barred from the Babylonium.
370
00:19:03,698 --> 00:19:06,530
No, you can't do that, Ronnie.
371
00:19:06,614 --> 00:19:07,879
I'm half owner.
372
00:19:07,963 --> 00:19:09,533
Show up and see
what happens, Reggie.
373
00:19:11,923 --> 00:19:13,797
And you're definitely
banished from my bed.
374
00:19:13,882 --> 00:19:14,930
Hmm.
375
00:19:21,498 --> 00:19:23,195
Well, Dr. Curdle Jr.?
376
00:19:24,980 --> 00:19:27,551
If I'm not mistaken,
what we're looking at here
377
00:19:27,635 --> 00:19:31,076
is the result of a phenomenon
known as SHC.
378
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,601
- Spontaneous Human Combustion?
- Exactly.
379
00:19:34,685 --> 00:19:38,083
Perhaps the gases in this
poor fellow's entrails
380
00:19:38,167 --> 00:19:40,738
heated to such an intense
temperature that they auto-ignited.
381
00:19:40,822 --> 00:19:43,610
And he burned from the
inside out. But his feet,
382
00:19:43,694 --> 00:19:46,439
they're still intact. And the
chair that he was sitting on,
383
00:19:46,523 --> 00:19:49,399
- it was barely singed.
- In cases of SHC,
384
00:19:49,483 --> 00:19:53,620
the fire burns at a temperature
in excess of 1,000 degrees
385
00:19:53,704 --> 00:19:56,101
but is contained
within the body
386
00:19:56,185 --> 00:19:59,452
so that often times, some
of the extremities are spared.
387
00:19:59,536 --> 00:20:02,800
As well as objects that are in
direct contact with the victim.
388
00:20:04,019 --> 00:20:07,591
Spontaneous human combustion?
389
00:20:07,675 --> 00:20:09,941
Stranger things have
happened in Riverdale.
390
00:20:10,025 --> 00:20:13,292
My Nana just took my
temperature and it's rising again.
391
00:20:13,376 --> 00:20:16,861
- Does that mean I'm going to com bust too?
- No, no.
392
00:20:16,945 --> 00:20:19,295
- No way.
- How do you know, cousin?
393
00:20:21,689 --> 00:20:26,998
Because I'm going to stay here tonight
and make sure that that doesn't happen.
394
00:20:28,739 --> 00:20:30,175
Okay.
395
00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:50,808
Hello, Mr. Andrews.
396
00:20:50,892 --> 00:20:54,330
The door was unlocked, so I
slipped in. I do hope that's all right.
397
00:20:56,854 --> 00:20:58,726
You see that box cutter there?
398
00:21:00,989 --> 00:21:03,644
I'd very much like you
to pick that up.
399
00:21:07,212 --> 00:21:08,212
That's it.
400
00:21:13,001 --> 00:21:16,137
Now, press it into your arm.
401
00:21:16,221 --> 00:21:19,358
I want to see your blood
pooling all over this lovely floor.
402
00:21:19,442 --> 00:21:20,748
Would you do that for me?
403
00:21:26,231 --> 00:21:27,148
That's it.
404
00:21:27,232 --> 00:21:28,973
Nice and steady now.
405
00:21:36,111 --> 00:21:37,591
That's not possible.
406
00:21:40,942 --> 00:21:43,338
Right. Let's try this again,
shall we?
407
00:21:43,422 --> 00:21:44,859
I don't think so.
408
00:21:46,774 --> 00:21:48,776
You took your shot
and you missed.
409
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:05,360
I'm sorry you had to find
out about Reginald's betrayal this way.
410
00:22:05,444 --> 00:22:09,231
If it's any consolation, I've had a
rather frustrating evening myself.
411
00:22:11,886 --> 00:22:16,325
But isn't it better to know the truth
than to carry on living blindfolded?
412
00:22:18,414 --> 00:22:20,114
I suppose.
413
00:22:20,198 --> 00:22:24,597
In fact, there is one other
thing I think you should see.
414
00:22:24,681 --> 00:22:27,815

Oh, my God,
Cheryl, you're burning up.
431
00:23:26,137 --> 00:23:27,924
You're literally on fire.
432
00:23:28,009 --> 00:23:29,923
- What's happening to me?
- Uh, let's get you into an ice bath. Okay?
433
00:23:30,007 --> 00:23:32,012
- ASAP. Let's go.
- Okay.
434
00:23:32,096 --> 00:23:36,103
- I'm literally boiling alive!
- Hold on.
435
00:23:36,187 --> 00:23:38,671
The water is pulling the heat
out of your body, okay?
436
00:23:38,755 --> 00:23:42,283
Just ride it out and see
if it dissipates.
437
00:23:48,896 --> 00:23:50,770
Oh, your temperature's
dropping, thank God.
438
00:23:50,854 --> 00:23:52,946
And then what? It's just gonna
keep building back up in me.
439
00:23:53,030 --> 00:23:55,340
- That's what keeps happening, isn't it?
- That seems to be the pattern.
440
00:23:55,424 --> 00:23:56,253
Yeah.
441
00:23:56,337 --> 00:23:58,909
Okay. And we're gonna
what? Just go until I die?
442
00:23:58,993 --> 00:24:00,519
What can we even do?
443
00:24:00,603 --> 00:24:05,176
Okay, there is a division
at the FBI that specializes in
444
00:24:05,260 --> 00:24:09,049
phenomenon like this, okay?
I'm going to reach out.
445
00:24:09,133 --> 00:24:11,617
You're not gonna die, Cheryl.
446
00:24:11,701 --> 00:24:14,008
- I swear. Okay?
- Okay.
447
00:24:14,965 --> 00:24:17,014
He was fully in my head.
448
00:24:17,098 --> 00:24:18,929
I thought I was a dead man.
449
00:24:19,013 --> 00:24:21,845
But then I remembered what
you said about focusing on a tether.
450
00:24:21,929 --> 00:24:24,978
So I zoned in
on this picture of my dad.
451
00:24:25,062 --> 00:24:26,312
Percival lost his grip on me.
452
00:24:26,397 --> 00:24:28,329
Okay, that's great. That
means the defense actually works.
453
00:24:28,413 --> 00:24:30,157
But, Jug, this is
a temporary solution.
454
00:24:30,241 --> 00:24:32,377
If he catches us or anyone
by surprise, we're vulnerable.
455
00:24:32,461 --> 00:24:33,857
All right.
456
00:24:33,941 --> 00:24:36,424
Why don't we start after
your big fight with K.O?
457
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:38,644
You're going to be
riding high off that victory.
458
00:24:38,728 --> 00:24:40,777
The Guinness Book of World Records
is going to present you with your award,
459
00:24:40,861 --> 00:24:42,648
then we're going
to reveal your statue.
460
00:24:42,732 --> 00:24:44,650
Then you say a couple words
at a press conference.
461
00:24:44,734 --> 00:24:46,870
I mean, the whole town is
going to be rallied behind you.
462
00:24:46,954 --> 00:24:48,132
Drive him out of town.
463
00:24:48,216 --> 00:24:50,047
- Old school scoundrel-style.
- Exactly.
464
00:24:50,131 --> 00:24:52,307
With everyone cheering
for Riverdale's "Man of Iron."
465
00:25:49,625 --> 00:25:50,931
Quiet on the floor today.
466
00:25:52,193 --> 00:25:54,154
I suppose it's no wonder
since the Chock'lit Shoppe
467
00:25:54,238 --> 00:25:56,240
and the Whyte Wyrm
have declared war on us.
468
00:25:58,242 --> 00:25:59,242
Us?
469
00:26:01,028 --> 00:26:02,815
I'll think of something.
470
00:26:02,899 --> 00:26:04,556
I usually do.
471
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,471
You should show strength.
472
00:26:06,555 --> 00:26:08,470
Teach Tabitha
and Toni a lesson.
473
00:26:10,037 --> 00:26:11,824
Have any suggestions to make?
474
00:26:11,908 --> 00:26:14,868
Oh, always. I think we should
firebomb the hell out of them.
475
00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:17,348
Pop.
476
00:26:18,393 --> 00:26:20,572
- Is everything okay?
- No.
477
00:26:20,656 --> 00:26:22,049
This is going too far.
478
00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:26,143
I know what you're
trying to do, Tabitha,
479
00:26:26,227 --> 00:26:29,973
but liquor in our
family restaurant?
480
00:26:30,057 --> 00:26:32,062
What's
going on, Toni?
481
00:26:32,146 --> 00:26:36,240
I just got out of jail. And suddenly
you're in a remake of Showgirls?
482
00:26:36,324 --> 00:26:38,808
I'm all for doing whatever
it takes to make a buck,
483
00:26:38,892 --> 00:26:40,287
and I don't be to be a prude,
484
00:26:40,371 --> 00:26:43,334
but we're in a custody battle
for baby Anthony.
485
00:26:43,418 --> 00:26:45,246
How do you think this looks?
486
00:26:47,378 --> 00:26:49,993
I'm sorry.
What did you just say?
487
00:26:50,077 --> 00:26:54,084
Firebomb Pop's
and the Whyte Wyrm?
488
00:26:54,168 --> 00:26:56,648
I don't know who
you think I am, Percival.
489
00:26:57,649 --> 00:26:59,437
But I'm not my father.
490
00:26:59,521 --> 00:27:03,658
And you, you're smooth and
charming, but you overplayed your hand.
491
00:27:03,742 --> 00:27:05,617
Now get out of my office
492
00:27:05,701 --> 00:27:09,055
and be grateful that I'm not throwing
you out of my champagne suite.
493
00:27:09,139 --> 00:27:10,535
As you wish.
494
00:27:10,619 --> 00:27:13,190
I actually have
a pressing engagement to keep.
495
00:27:13,274 --> 00:27:15,319
No rest for the wicked,
it seems.
496
00:27:20,977 --> 00:27:22,936
Marone.
497
00:27:24,676 --> 00:27:26,856
It's like playing cards
in a funeral home.
498
00:27:26,940 --> 00:27:28,596
Lighten the hell up, kid.
499
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,731
You're a free man now, in
complete control of your own future.
500
00:27:32,815 --> 00:27:37,344
Yeah, well, Veronica
was kind of my future.
501
00:27:37,428 --> 00:27:39,172
The casino, too.
502
00:27:39,256 --> 00:27:41,737
Well, in that case,
maybe you take it back.
503
00:27:42,999 --> 00:27:46,223
The casino, not the girl.
504
00:27:46,307 --> 00:27:50,009
- She was garbage.
- What'd you say?
505
00:27:50,093 --> 00:27:51,837
Shut the hell up,
you disrespectful punk.
506
00:27:51,921 --> 00:27:54,709
You, uh,
want us to deal you in?
507
00:27:54,793 --> 00:27:58,536
And maybe we discuss
deepening our partnership.
508
00:28:00,582 --> 00:28:01,582
Why the hell not?
509
00:28:03,454 --> 00:28:04,937
Atta boy.
510
00:28:09,895 --> 00:28:11,813
Mr. Kelly.
511
00:28:11,897 --> 00:28:13,946
Hi, I was hoping to catch you.
512
00:28:14,030 --> 00:28:16,775
- Do I know you, bud?
- Oh, of course, my name's Percival.
513
00:28:16,859 --> 00:28:19,604
I uh... I caught a fight of
yours a couple of months ago
514
00:28:19,688 --> 00:28:23,390
at Madison Square Garden.
Title bout against Hurricane Henry.
515
00:28:23,474 --> 00:28:24,739
Most impressive.
516
00:28:24,823 --> 00:28:27,351
- It's always nice to meet a fan.
- Oh.
517
00:28:27,435 --> 00:28:30,525
- But I gotta hit the hay. Big fight tomorrow.
- Right.
518
00:28:31,352 --> 00:28:32,878
Be well.
519
00:28:32,962 --> 00:28:35,791
Before you
dash off, Mr. Kelly, I um...
520
00:28:37,053 --> 00:28:39,186
I wonder if you might
do me a favor.
521
00:28:47,585 --> 00:28:49,199
Where's K.O?
522
00:28:49,283 --> 00:28:51,028
He just got out of surgery.
523
00:28:51,113 --> 00:28:52,207
What happened to him?
524
00:28:52,291 --> 00:28:54,508
Witnesses say that he
walked right into traffic.
525
00:28:54,592 --> 00:28:57,120
- Calmly, willingly.
- Oh, my God.
526
00:28:57,204 --> 00:29:01,251
Yeah. Take a guess on who's responsible.
527
00:29:02,165 --> 00:29:03,691
Unbelievable.
528
00:29:03,775 --> 00:29:05,955
Percival, you snake.
We were just talking about you.
529
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,060
Listen, I heard about
your friend K.O.
530
00:29:08,145 --> 00:29:09,287
Such a shame.
531
00:29:09,372 --> 00:29:11,569
A shame that he didn't
die? Like you wanted him to?
532
00:29:11,654 --> 00:29:13,571
I haven't the faintest
notion what you're on about, Archie.
533
00:29:13,655 --> 00:29:16,313
But listen,
with K.O. down for the count,
534
00:29:16,397 --> 00:29:20,360
you must be looking for a new opponent
to step into the ring with you and uh...
535
00:29:20,444 --> 00:29:22,707
Well, I'd like to throw
my hat in, if that's all right.
536
00:29:25,973 --> 00:29:29,152
Let me tell you, nothing would make
me happier but you do not want to do that.
537
00:29:29,236 --> 00:29:31,110
Oh, dude, but I do.
538
00:29:31,194 --> 00:29:33,025
Tough as you are,
539
00:29:33,109 --> 00:29:35,636
I was top of my boxing class at
Cambridge and I can hold my own.
540
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,292
So, how about it? Me against
you in front of the whole town.
541
00:29:39,376 --> 00:29:40,772
- Winner takes all.
- All right, fine.
542
00:29:40,856 --> 00:29:42,556
But why don't we
up the stakes a little?
543
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,690
When I win, which I will,
you resign from the council.
544
00:29:45,774 --> 00:29:48,693
Agreed. And if I win,
I want you,
545
00:29:48,777 --> 00:29:50,390
personally you,
546
00:29:50,474 --> 00:29:52,392
to reinstate my great
grandfather's statue in Pickens Park.
547
00:29:52,476 --> 00:29:53,524
- Deal.
- Excellent.
548
00:29:53,608 --> 00:29:55,175
Well, may the best man win, eh?
549
00:29:58,221 --> 00:30:00,139
He wants to fight me.
550
00:30:00,223 --> 00:30:02,315
In the ring?
551
00:30:02,399 --> 00:30:05,101
He's going to try and mind control
you in front of the whole town?
552
00:30:05,185 --> 00:30:07,277
That's not going to happen.
I'll be thinking about my dad
553
00:30:07,361 --> 00:30:10,323
while I beat him to a pulp and send
his ass out of Riverdale in a body bag.
554
00:30:12,322 --> 00:30:15,282
Tabitha. Hey, I was actually just
picking up the phone to call you.
555
00:30:16,152 --> 00:30:17,458
Can we meet?
556
00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:19,289
In person?
557
00:30:19,373 --> 00:30:21,987
Thank you for taking
the time, Agent Drake.
558
00:30:22,071 --> 00:30:26,252
It's my pleasure, Agent Cooper. I've wanted
to meet you since the Stark weather case.
559
00:30:26,336 --> 00:30:28,733
Well, I'm sorry
that it took so long,
560
00:30:28,817 --> 00:30:32,128
but you said you had some insight
about the case that I'm working.
561
00:30:32,212 --> 00:30:34,652
Uh, yes.
562
00:30:34,736 --> 00:30:38,090
What you described may not be
spontaneous human combustion.
563
00:30:38,174 --> 00:30:43,226
Despite what your coroner
friend says, SHC is extremely rare.
564
00:30:43,310 --> 00:30:46,751
Okay, so if it's not SHC,
what is it?
565
00:30:46,835 --> 00:30:51,756
What you described could be someone who is
manifesting nascent powers of pyrokinesis.
566
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,019
Pyro... Pyrokinesis?
567
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:56,630
The ability to create and
control fire with their mind.
568
00:30:56,714 --> 00:31:02,810
And what triggers the onset
of these kinds of abilities?
569
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:06,292
Pretty much what you'd expect.
Puberty, intense traumas.
570
00:31:06,376 --> 00:31:10,253
And how does
pyrokinesis work, specifically?
571
00:31:10,337 --> 00:31:13,952
We all generate heat. Me, you.
572
00:31:14,036 --> 00:31:17,390
But a pyrokinetic person generates
heat at the level of a superconductor.
573
00:31:17,474 --> 00:31:19,697
They have to discharge it,
or it will build up
574
00:31:19,781 --> 00:31:22,003
and cause them or anyone
near them to self-immolate
575
00:31:22,087 --> 00:31:25,439
Okay. And... And
how do they discharge the heat?
576
00:31:25,961 --> 00:31:27,180
Practice.
577
00:31:29,356 --> 00:31:30,922
Want some pointers?
578
00:31:31,825 --> 00:31:33,276
Thanks for stopping by.
579
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,321
And thanks for the partnership.
580
00:31:35,405 --> 00:31:37,932
Thank you.
581
00:31:38,016 --> 00:31:39,976
And we'll let you know
about the slot machines.
582
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:41,242
Absolutely.
583
00:31:43,283 --> 00:31:44,719
- Bye.
- Bye.
584
00:31:52,074 --> 00:31:53,818
So,
what were they doing here?
585
00:31:53,902 --> 00:31:57,952
We were reminding
each other of who we are.
586
00:31:58,036 --> 00:31:59,345
Hmm?
587
00:31:59,429 --> 00:32:01,652
Three women and three
proud business owners
588
00:32:01,736 --> 00:32:06,613
in a small town that needs to come together
instead of letting itself be ripped apart.
589
00:32:06,697 --> 00:32:10,313
We found a way to thread the
needle and support one another.
590
00:32:10,397 --> 00:32:12,141
How so?
591
00:32:12,225 --> 00:32:15,187
I'm giving two of my Babylonium
slot machines to the Whyte Wyrm.
592
00:32:15,271 --> 00:32:19,800
And in return, Toni is giving me ten
percent of what she brings in with them.
593
00:32:19,884 --> 00:32:23,500
As for Tabitha, we're opening
a Pop's booth in the grand lobby
594
00:32:23,584 --> 00:32:26,851
and splitting the profits
from food sales.
595
00:32:26,935 --> 00:32:29,375
Circles rise together,
after all.
596
00:32:29,459 --> 00:32:31,334
Well, I have to
tip my hat to you.
597
00:32:31,418 --> 00:32:34,685
Very smart how you were able to
handle this with Tabitha and Toni.
598
00:32:34,769 --> 00:32:37,862
Oh, I wish I could take credit,
but it was Tabitha.
599
00:32:37,946 --> 00:32:42,255
She's the one who came up with
this three-way partnership and plan.
600
00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:45,174
Yeah. She's very clever,
isn't she?
601
00:32:45,258 --> 00:32:46,346
Yeah.
602
00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:56,747
You're 119 degrees, Cheryl.
603
00:32:57,748 --> 00:32:59,710
Focus on the logs
in the fireplace
604
00:32:59,794 --> 00:33:02,278
and project the heat that's
building up inside onto it.
605
00:33:02,362 --> 00:33:05,324
- How?
- Focus. Visualize it and it will happen.
606
00:33:05,408 --> 00:33:07,500
I'm burning up.
I can't even think straight.
607
00:33:07,584 --> 00:33:09,546
Well, you better get your head
in the game, Cheryl,
608
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:12,894
because if you don't, me, you or your
Nana are going to burst into flames.
609
00:33:25,341 --> 00:33:27,477
All right.
Remember your tether.
610
00:33:27,561 --> 00:33:28,997
Couldn't forget if I tried.
611
00:33:34,437 --> 00:33:36,483
All right, fellas,
let's touch 'em.
612
00:33:39,442 --> 00:33:40,661
Good luck.
613
00:33:47,189 --> 00:33:48,321
Go, Archie!
614
00:33:58,113 --> 00:33:59,375
Focus, Archie!
615
00:34:02,683 --> 00:34:04,902
Go on, lower you guard, Archie.
616
00:34:06,295 --> 00:34:09,080
Lower you guard and let me win.
617
00:34:16,610 --> 00:34:18,745
Again, that's not gonna
work on me.
618
00:34:18,829 --> 00:34:22,093
Okay. Looks like I have to
beat you the old-fashioned way.
619
00:34:24,705 --> 00:34:26,054
Come on, Archie!
620
00:34:45,552 --> 00:34:48,555
One! Two!
621
00:34:48,990 --> 00:34:50,121
Three!
622
00:34:51,122 --> 00:34:52,123
Four!
623
00:34:53,211 --> 00:34:54,430
Five!
624
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:56,389
Six!
625
00:34:56,954 --> 00:34:57,999
Seven!
626
00:35:04,962 --> 00:35:08,186
- I can't... I can't do it.
- Yes. Yes, you can, Cheryl.
627
00:35:08,270 --> 00:35:11,885
You're... You're phoenix, okay?
You thrive in fire.
628
00:35:11,969 --> 00:35:14,235
Your brother's corpse
was baptized in fire.
629
00:35:14,319 --> 00:35:17,108
Your ancestor, Abigail,
she was consumed in fire.
630
00:35:17,192 --> 00:35:19,937
You burned this house down
and rebuilt it.
631
00:35:20,021 --> 00:35:22,679
You yourself said that
you can control the elements.
632
00:35:22,763 --> 00:35:25,653
Your entire life
has been building up to this...
633
00:35:25,738 --> 00:35:28,266
- - ...threshold.
- She's at 262 degrees
634
00:35:28,508 --> 00:35:31,514
Damn it, Cheryl! You are
going to die if you don't do this.
635
00:35:31,598 --> 00:35:33,037
Focus on the logs, okay?
636
00:35:33,121 --> 00:35:35,039
- Stop yelling at me!
- Burn those logs!
637
00:35:35,123 --> 00:35:38,431
- 303 degrees.
- I'm trying. I'm trying.
638
00:35:42,565 --> 00:35:44,918
Burn her, Cheryl.
Burn your mother, okay?
639
00:35:45,002 --> 00:35:49,009
Focus. Visualize and make her pay for all
of the pain that she's caused you, okay?
640
00:35:49,093 --> 00:35:50,791
Set her ass on fire!
641
00:36:06,502 --> 00:36:08,551
You did it, Cheryl.
642
00:36:08,635 --> 00:36:12,856
Great job and congratulations.
You are officially a pyrokinetic.
643
00:36:21,038 --> 00:36:22,213
Guard, Archie!
644
00:36:44,497 --> 00:36:45,995
- One!
- All right. Stay down!
645
00:36:46,079 --> 00:36:48,133
- Two!
- Stay down! You're done. You're done.
646
00:36:48,218 --> 00:36:49,635
- Three!
- He's slaughtering you, Arch.
647
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,289
- Four!
- You're done!
648
00:36:51,373 --> 00:36:52,853
Five!
649
00:36:53,375 --> 00:36:54,594
Six!
650
00:36:55,595 --> 00:36:56,944
Seven!
651
00:38:09,146 --> 00:38:10,847
Arch.
652
00:38:10,931 --> 00:38:15,634
Hey, Jug, I just heard about
the match. What happened?
653
00:38:15,718 --> 00:38:17,111
Percival won.
654
00:38:18,286 --> 00:38:20,201
The match, the crowd.
655
00:38:21,768 --> 00:38:23,903
Archie's not going to get
a medal from Guinness.
656
00:38:23,987 --> 00:38:25,598
Percival outplayed us.
657
00:38:27,774 --> 00:38:29,648
Arch, how could you have lost?
658
00:38:29,732 --> 00:38:31,691
I felt Percival's punches.
659
00:38:32,517 --> 00:38:34,044
I felt pain.
660
00:38:34,128 --> 00:38:35,129
I bled.
661
00:38:36,783 --> 00:38:38,135
How could this have happened?
662
00:38:38,219 --> 00:38:40,311
Is it possible Percival
knows about my weakness?
663
00:38:40,395 --> 00:38:42,574
Could he have got a hold
of the palladium?
664
00:38:42,658 --> 00:38:47,623
The only palladium I know of is
what Archie gave to me to keep safe.
665
00:38:47,707 --> 00:38:48,838
Where is it?
666
00:38:50,797 --> 00:38:53,629
No, no, no, no, no. There is
no way he could've found it.
667
00:38:53,713 --> 00:38:55,500
Then where is it, Betty?
668
00:38:55,584 --> 00:38:57,371
- I don't know, Archie.
- Percival must know about our secrets.
669
00:38:57,455 --> 00:38:59,893
It's the only way
that he could've beaten Archie.
670
00:39:00,676 --> 00:39:01,938
How does he know?
671
00:39:24,569 --> 00:39:26,923
Thank you, Alice.
672
00:39:27,147 --> 00:39:30,694
Now you get back
downstairs and drink your wine, okay?
673
00:39:31,033 --> 00:39:32,516
Yeah.
674
00:39:32,882 --> 00:39:34,449
That sounds nice.
675
00:39:46,374 --> 00:39:47,857
What?
676
00:39:47,941 --> 00:39:49,856
Your friend, Archie.
677
00:39:51,118 --> 00:39:53,337
There's something
special about him.
678
00:39:56,950 --> 00:39:59,869
You're going to tell me
everything, Betty.
679
00:39:59,953 --> 00:40:02,698
Then you're going to
go back to sleep.
680
00:40:02,782 --> 00:40:04,784
You're going to forget
I was even here.
681
00:40:11,486 --> 00:40:12,748
Archie did it.
682
00:40:13,575 --> 00:40:15,232
The statue is up.
683
00:40:15,316 --> 00:40:16,712
Wow.
684
00:40:16,796 --> 00:40:18,798
A man of his word
to the end, eh?
685
00:40:20,060 --> 00:40:21,496
Fancy a stroll, Tom?
686
00:40:57,271 --> 00:40:58,667
You're so quiet.
687
00:40:58,751 --> 00:41:00,843
What's wrong?
You won the fight.
688
00:41:00,927 --> 00:41:02,450
It's Tabitha Tate.
689
00:41:03,407 --> 00:41:05,543
She weighs on me.
690
00:41:05,627 --> 00:41:07,604
Full of false virtue.
691
00:41:07,689 --> 00:41:12,765
Standing in the way of true progress with
that hideous diner of hers. It's not right.
692
00:41:14,941 --> 00:41:17,337
I'm afraid to say, gentlemen,
693
00:41:17,421 --> 00:41:21,295
Tabitha Tate's not long for
this new world we're creating.
