All language subtitles for Riverdale 5x06 - Chapter Eighty-Two Back to School (English)

Well, Jug,

you ever think we'd have a night

before the first day of school again.

No, not in a million years.

Cramming to finish this book my students

were assigned for summer reading.

It's Of Mice and Men.

Feel like I'm living in
The Twilight Zone.

Well, I'm gonna hit the
sack. Big day tomorrow.

On behalf of Lennie, George and myself,

good night, sweet prince.

You know after all these years,

it's still kind of adorable

to witness your back-to-school jitters.

Well, I'd be there already

if I wasn't waiting on our house diva.

You tell Queen T my truck
is leaving without her.

This outfit is a masterpiece
that can't be rushed,

as we all know. And we're
taking my motorcycle.

Ms. Topaz, Mr. Keller, nice to see you.

Good morning, Waldo.

I'll never get used to that.

I thought economics class
was just for seniors.

Um, some of us are auditing.

Hm.

Well, as long as you're
taking it seriously.

We will absolutely talk about
my experiences overseas,

but the RROTC's focus

is on physical fitness,
and military history.

So I'll ask again,

what year was the United
States Army founded?

So this semester our
main project in Shop Class

will be taking apart this classic car.

A 1954 Crestline and
putting it back together.

Any questions before we get started?

Wasn't your dad like the Black Hood?

He was.

As a matter of fact, he taught me
everything I know about cars.

So, any relevant questions?

Who did the summer reading?

Who can tell me what it was?

This is gonna be great.

By all rights, that school
should be shut down.

Instead, I'm told there are
over 100 students enrolled.

What do you care, Mr. Lodge?

You got what you wanted.

Riverdale doesn't even exist
since you unincorporated it.

Reggie, a high school offers hope,

and people are sentimental
about Riverdale High

for reasons that elude me.

And as long as it remains
open, there's a slight chance

the town will grow back
around it like a weed.

And that is bad for our business.

I hear you.

So what are you thinking, boss?

As you can see,

this used to be a video
store back in the day,

but with a little TLC,

it'll be the perfect spot
for my new jewelry store.

I cut my teeth in the Diamond
District as you know, Smithers.

I think I could bring a little
Manhattan magic to this town

formerly known as
Riverdale in the form of

exquisitely high end bling.

And will Mr. Gekko, be involved
in this business enterprise?

I haven't decided yet.

He knows I'm in Riverdale,
teaching temporarily,

but the permanence of opening a shop,

might send him spiraling.

Well, Miss Cooper...

how was the first day?

Well, they're terrified of me.

Being that I'm the daughter
of the Black Hood and all.

Oof. That sucks.

Yeah. On top of which I can't
stop thinking about Polly.

Didn't your mom say
she does this sometimes?

Takes off for a couple
days then reappears.

Yeah, that's why I'm
trying not to panic.

Well, in the meantime,
maybe I can distract you.

Tonight, my new roommate's
working at Pop's.

It's too risky.

And it's not like we can go to my house

- with my mom and the twins.
- We're in our 20s.

It's supposed to be easier to
find places to hookup not harder.

Wait. I actually think
I have a crazy idea.

It is dead as a doornail in here, Jones.

If you wanna write, by all means.

At least until we get some customers.

You know, I was actually kind of hoping

I could interview you for my book.

Me?

- Why? What's your book?
- It's about Riverdale.

People who live here. Portrait
of a small town type of thing.

Okay.

What do you wanna know?

You left a six figure a year job
in Chicago to come run Pop's?

You must have had every
CEO offer that you wanted.

Or I could become the
CEO of my family business

and take everything I
learned at my fancy schools

and invest it in something meaningful.

I am not playing around with Pop's.

I put in that gas pump out front

to attract truckers
driving the night shift.

I have ideas for
merchandising, franchising.

Just great.

Wait, aren't you, uh,
one of our teachers?

Yeah, I am.

Why don't you guys take
a seat? I'll get the menus.

What the hell?

Archie, get the hose.

Thank God you were...

Wait, what did you say
you were doing again?

Well, Luckily, I was out, uh...

Night jogging and I
heard the alarm go off.

And when I ran over,

I saw some Stonewall Prep
students rushing off,

some real bruisers.

Probably football players.

The Stonewall Stallions, Hiram's team.

He sponsors them, and in return,
they do odd jobs for him.

Like setting our school on fire?

I could try arresting them,

but Hiram'll have them out
in bail within the hour.

'Cause Hiram's got the
DA in his back pocket.

That's part of it and
the other part is...

Stonewall Prep Stallions are
the county's best football team.

The only ones who win games.

As much trouble as they cause,

they're the only thing people
have to root for these days.

Bulldogs, Bulldog Pride
are things of the past.

They're star football players.

So what? They can't be above the law.

Who's their Coach?

- Hiram?
- Not quite.

Very good, boys.

Quick feet. Quick feet.

What's up, Andrews?

Coming to watch a championship
squad in action?

Reggie, you scumbag.

Pack of your boys paid Riverdale
High a visit last night.

Yeah, I heard you're
having some trouble.

Damn, you're not even denying it.

Why would I?

Unless there's proof.

You send your squad to my school again

and I'll give you a beat down
like you've never had.

As for you boys,

I'm looking forward to kicking
your asses on the field.

Wow!

Inspired.

Yes, it's true. I work at Pop's.

I would love to say that
working at Riverdale High

paid a livable wage,

but alas, I had to take a second job.

But aren't you supposed to be
some kind of like big time writer?

The only writing I
wanna talk about today

is Of Mice and Men.

So can anyone tell me
what this book's about?

Okay.

Plan B. Pop quiz.

Hand these out.

Supply and demand

is the foundational
principle of economics.

So I'm going to make
sure that you all...

Special delivery for Miss Gekko.

Chad, what are you doing here?

Surprising my wife.

But I'm in the middle of a class.

I'll just wait quietly at the back.

Mr. Weatherbee. Uh, Waldo.

I want to bring Bulldog football

back to Riverdale High as a coach,

I think having a football team
would be huge for school pride

and would help bring what's
left of this town back together.

You know where we're at financially.

I'll get the money somehow.

We even have enough players?

I only need eleven.

All right, Mr. Andrews.
Let's see what you can do.

As you can imagine,
my wife tells this guy

exactly where he can
stick his designer loafers.

Archie, This is Chadwick, my husband.

He surprised me with a visit...

... and some delicious cupcakes.

So you're the famous Archie.

Nice to meet you.

Well, we've survived
two days of the school year.

How about we celebrate tonight?

It's karaoke Tuesday at the Whyte Wyrm.

Obviously, I'll be defying gravity.

As long as I can get a vodka
tonic, I will be watching.

I don't know if we...

That sounds good.

What? You hate karaoke.

What's that expression,
uh, when in Rome,

embarrass yourself in front
of a group of total strangers?

Betty, do you have a minute?

Sure. What's up?

Earlier, Kevin mentioned
that your sister's missing.

Yeah. Why? Have you heard something?

Well, you know how Fangs and
some of the other Serpents

are truckers now?

Yeah.

Well, I asked around,
and some of the guys

have occasionally seen Polly

hanging out at this sketchy truck stop

right off the Lonely Highway.

- Doing what?
- Dealing for the Ghoulies

or hooking up with truckers.

Or both.

Yeah. Well, sadly,

Polly's not the only young
woman in Riverdale

making a living that way.

Fangs said that some of the
truckers arrange meetings

with these women by posting on Nedslist.

I don't know if Polly has an account.

Yeah, Okay. Thank you, Toni.

I'll look into it.

Do you know where exactly
this truck stop is?

The thing is, Miss Blossom,

the men have been threatening to quit.

Under no circumstances.

Constant hammering of
nails and buzzing of saws

is the only thing that
quiets my troubled soul.

Tell your brutes they'll
get their blood money

and a bonus for their patience.

Now be gone from my sight.

Thanks to that charitable donation

Toni squeezed out of me,

the Blossom coffers are empty, Nana.

It's time for Operation Goldfinch.

Call Krespy's and have him
send an appraiser over

whilst I finish my copy of
this portrait of Jay-Jay.

And pray my subterfuge

will save us from financial ruin.

According to my mom,
Polly doesn't have a laptop,

but I asked the twins...

... and they said,
sometimes, she uses theirs.

So Polly doesn't have
a Nedslist account.

But Patty does.

Oh, my God. Check sent messages.

Who was the last person she contacted?

Someone named "TruckerBoy69".

And apparently, they arranged

to meet up the night she disappeared.

Okay, so, either he knows something,
or he did something.

Send him a message asking
to get together again.

Okay. Sent.

Okay. Now we just wait, I guess.

Can we karaoke while we wait?

Cheers!

By the way, Jones,

I have the next subject for your book.

A real character.

Oh, yeah? Who's that?

Old Man Dreyfus.

Lives on and runs a junk yard
off the Lonely Highway.

He came in today for
a plate of pork chops

and I asked if you could
interview him for your book.

He said yes.

Did you get his number?

Oh, no. Dreyfus does not have a phone,

but I do have his address, though.

Okay, what's his story?

Oh, you've gotta ask him
about "The Mothman".

- The Mothman?
- Mmm-hmm.

All right, all right!

We've got a special treat for you guys.

She used to own this
place back in the day.

So let's give an extra loud
Whyte Wyrm welcome

to Veronica Lodge!

She probably forgot it's Gekko now.

All good. Knock 'em dead, babe.

Thanks.

? Tell me something, boy ?

? Aren't you tired trying
to fill that void? ?

? Or do you need more? ?

? Is there something else
you're searching for? ?

? Tell me something, girl ?

? Are you happy in this modern world? ?

? Or do you need more? ?

? Ain't it hard keeping
it so hardcore? ?

? I'm off the deep end
watch as I dive in ?

? I'll never leave the ground ?

? Crash through the surface
where they can't hurt us ?

? We're far from the shallow now ?

? In the sha-ha, shallow ?

? In the sha-ha sha-la-la-la-low ?

? In the sha-ha, shallow ?

? We're far from the shallow now ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ?

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoah ?

? In the sha-ha, shallow ?

? In the sha-ha sha-la-la-la-low ?

? In the sha-ha, shallow ?

? We're far from the shallow now ?

Good morning, lover.

Good morning, Ms. Gekko.

Man, I haven't slept that well since...

... forever.

I know. Same.

It's fun having you here, Chad.

So...

Why don't I stay in Riverdale
for a few days?

What do you think?

I think that would be nice.

Mm-hmm.

Congratulations.

You are the newest recruits

to Riverdale High's
legendary football program,

which will fulfill

your physical education
requirements for this year.

- All good?
- Sir, yes, sir!

Six down, five to go.

Who here wants to play
football for the Bulldogs?

Welcome aboard.

And that's eight.

I'm looking for football players.

No previous experience required.

I just need a few more bruisers.

That's ten.

Who here wants to play
football for the Bulldogs?

Awesome.

One more is all I needed.
What's your name, bro?

I'm Britta. Is that cool?

As long as you don't mind

playing both sides of the ball, Britta,

you complete my team.

Now I just need funding.

How much funding?

Twenty thousand.

There's gotta be some
kind of sports budget.

There is, but the little
money that's available

is already been earmarked
for something else.

What about Cheryl? Can you ask her?

No way.

I already called in my one favor.

Nobody's stopping you.

You need more money from me, you say?

Yes, for the football team.

Well, I've already done
my part for the school

and at a great personal cost.

Cheryl, I just thought...

given the fact your
brother was a Bulldog,

that you might want to honor him.

How dare you play my brother

as if he were a red king card, Archie?

Be gone!

And never darken the
halls of Thornhill again.

Leave!

When did the Krespy's appraiser
say he was coming again, Nana?

Oh, she, dear.

Minerva Marble, and,
um, tomorrow, she said.

Truckrboy69 responded.

He said, "So good to
hear from you, Patty.

I was afraid you were still mad at me.

How's tonight?"

- Mad about what?
- That's exactly what I'm going to find out

when you and I go
stakeout the truck stop,

he suggested, right off exit 42.

Hi, there. I'm Jughead Jones.

I work at Pops with Tabitha Tate.
She told me that you'd be willing

to tell me the story about the, uh,

Mothmen.

About thirty, forty years ago,

me and some buddies got hired

to dig out a collapsed mine
not far off the Lonely Highway.

One night, we went to bed.

The next morning when we
woke up, one of the guys,

Ramos was missing.

We worked he whole day
but Ramos never showed.

Until the next morning

when Ramos was back,

but Raymond was missing.

Ramos told us that some Mothmen
had taken him up in their ship,

and now they had Raymond.

Did you believe him?

Not at first.

But the next morning, Raymond was back.

But Arnold was missing.

And sure enough, Raymond said

the Mothmen had taken
him up in their ship.

Now when you see Mothmen,
are you talking...

Aliens, Angels, Mothmen,
call 'em whatever you like.

They live in the woods and the
caves off the Lonely Highway.

Mr. Dreyfuss, I've lived in
Riverdale almost my whole life.

Why have I never heard
of the Mothmen before?

There were some articles
back in the day. Ask around.

Some people remember.

Well, aren't you worried
that they're gonna come back

for you living out here all by yourself?

I'm not afraid.

I'm hopin'.

I'm hopin' they come back for me.

I want to go up in their
ship like the others.

This is definitely the place.

Frankview Freight Lines.

That's him in the blue rig.

- That's truckerboy69.
- What? Betty, are you sure?

You're not Patty.

No, I'm her sister and I'm with the FBI.

You're coming with me.

I keep saying I didn't
do anything wrong.

You arranged to meet my
sister at that truck stop.

And that's the last time
anyone's seen her.

Look, I did meet Patty three nights ago.

She'd scored some
Jingle-Jangle and reached out.

- We met up at the truck stop.
- And then what?

I told her that we should take
a drive to clear her mind.

She was down with that plan,

but about a half a mile up
the highway, she freaked.

Jumped out of the
truck, started running.

I tried to get her back in my
cab, but she wouldn't listen.

She just kept running.

That's the last time I saw her.

Honest to God.

So you just left her there
on the side of the road.

I didn't have a choice.
Patty was scared.

I didn't want to make it worse.

What part of the highway? I
need you to be very specific.

Hey, honey. What's going on?

Why are you getting home so late?

It's about Polly, mom.

I have a lead I need your help with.

But you should sit down.

Look, I'm sorry, team.

The thing is, I should've
got my ducks in a row first

and secured the funding.

And the school really can't
give us any money at all?

No. There's no funding
for sports, clubs, extra...

Toni, since when are the Vixens back?

Since I made it a priority
in the budget last year?

There isn't even a sports
thing for them to cheer for.

Uh, get over yourself Archie.

The Vixens are a sports team,
and this year we're gonna be

competing against other cheer squads.

I'm not even sure
I'll manage to do that.

Forget the school.

Isn't there anyone else who
could sponsor the Bulldogs?

It's Doris Bell.

You told me to keep you apprised
of goings on at the school.

Well, there's something
I think you should know.

I see.

Thanks, Miss Bell.

So sorry for the interruption,
Miss Marble.

How are you finding that
portrait of my beloved brother?

I mean, figurative is back in vogue,

and the artist who painted your brother

was chosen for next
year's Venice Biennale.

I believe this portrait
could easily fetch

a quarter of a million
dollars at auction.

And worth every penny.

I wonder...

might I get to keep my JJ for

one more night so we can
say our proper Ta-tas?

I understand.

I'm staying at the Five
Seasons in town overnight,

but I'll be around first
thing in the morning.

Even better, I'll have my men pack it up

and deliver it to your hotel.

Well, Miss Blossom, it was
a pleasure dealing with you.

Should you decide
to sell any other items

in your collection, do let me know.

I will indeed, Miss Marble.

Now that she has
authenticated our original,

we can swap in your perfect copy

and Marble shall be none the wiser.

What's the matter, child?

Oh, nothing. You know...

Just some upsetting news
from Riverdale High.

I'll be fine.

Betty.

Oh, my God.

These are her things.

These are Polly's things.

More coffee, champ?

Yeah, sure. Thanks, Jug.

How goes it with the Bulldogs?

It doesn't.

The kids don't have any equipment.

They can't afford any equipment.

And the school doesn't have any money.

Well, if you promise to never bring up

the epic highs and lows of
high school football again,

I can ask Tabitha if she's willing
to sponsor the team from Pop's.

That can't hurt.

There is one more person I can ask.

Veronica.

But that would be weird, right?

I just interviewed a guy who wants

to be abducted by Mothman aliens.

I think weird is relative.

I say go for it.

Embrace the weird.

What do you think, Chad?

I know it's a tad sleazy at the moment,

but it's the perfect spot
for a jewelry store.

Good foot traffic, close to SoDale.

Only bad thing is it's not in New York.

But maybe that's the whole point, huh?

Cards on the table, Chadwick.
Being back in Riverdale,

seeing my friends,
working on a new business,

it's been good for my soul.

So we would have a place in the city

and a place in Riverdale
where I'd be welcome?

Yes, but I need your support
on this Chad, and love.

You have it.

Just curious.

Are we going to buy a new house
or stay at the Pembrooke?

Bite your tongue.

I'm never leaving that apartment,

but it could do with a remodel.

It's time for a change,
starting with a clean slate.

What happened to her Betty?

What happened to Polly
out on that highway?

I don't know, Mom.

But I do know one thing,

if that creepy guy in
jail had hurt Polly,

he wouldn't have told
us exactly where to go.

So we have nothing. We have no leads.

We have... She could be anywhere.

We didn't find Polly's cell phone,

so we can trace it through
the phone company.

Or if they can't do it,
maybe the FBI can.

And if not?

We wait...

and we hope.

So I need to be back in the
city on Monday, the 19th.

That's fine. We have your niece's
birthday party that weekend.

So Mondays through Thursdays,

I'm in the city, then here
every other weekend.

And I'll be in New York
every other weekend.

You know, there is one other option

that your father, of all
people, suggested.

Um, I could move to Riverdale full time

and help him manage
the SoDale properties.

You're in finance, not real estate.

And wait, have you and my father

been talking behind my back?

- Archie.
- Hey, Veronica.

- Sorry to come by unannounced.
- Don't be. Come in.

Archie, this is unexpected.

Chad. Hey, you're still here.

Um, listen, the thing is, I'm restarting

the football team at Riverdale High,

and there's no budget for anything.

Say no more.

As a former Vixen, I made an oath

to always support my beloved Bulldogs.

I will absolutely cover
the startup costs.

Thank you, Veronica.

And I promise I'll pay you
back one hundred percent.

You mean, pay us back
one hundred percent.

Of course.

Pay you guys back.

Thank you, Chad.

You know, actually,
now I think about it.

You're a vet, a proud guy.

You don't want to be
taking handouts, do you?

So how's this for an idea?

Instead of us loaning you the money,

what if you renovate our apartment?

- This apartment.
- Babe, what are you talking about?

We help out Archie's team,

he does this job for us and gets paid.

I'm sure Archie has
a million other things,

- he's got to be doing right now.
- No, it's fine.

I definitely don't want
to be taking handouts.

I'll call some of my dad's old crew

and see if any of them can help out.

Awesome-sauce.

Thanks again, Ronnie.

Of course. I'll see you
at school tomorrow.

Okay. What the hell was that?

He's my friend.

A guy like that, I'm sure he'd rather

do a little work than
crawl to you for charity.

You didn't have to be
such a dick about it.

Excuse me?

Have I not been accommodating

to your every whim since I've been here?

I've been nice to your friends.
I even sang karaoke.

I didn't realize those
were such chores for you.

They weren't.

I wanted to do them for you.

If I came across dickish with Archie,

um, I'm sorry, but it
won't happen again, okay?

- Okay.
- Good.

What's for dinner?

- Can we get Pop's take out?
- Ugh, I don't think I can handle

another greasy burger and onion rings.

Let's go out.

There's this Italian place that
your dad mentioned. Mia's?

Sure. Let's go to Mia's.

Are you working on
your Mothmen chronicles?

It is so bizarre, Tabitha.

So I ended up talking
to old man Dreyfus,

and he did tell me the names of the
people that he used to work with.

All his buddies from back in the day.

Tracked them down just so
I could corroborate his story.

Uh-huh?

Get this.

They're all dead.

Couldn't that just be a coincidence
because they're old?

Well, curiously, they
all died from cancer.

And, yeah, that could be a coincidence,

but maybe, just maybe,

they were all exposed to the same
radiation on the spaceship. Hm?

Uh, is that what happens when
you go aboard a spaceship?

Oh, I have no idea. But
it makes a great story.

What's the next step?

Dreyfus said that some articles

were produced after
their close encounter,

so just tracking those ones down.

I'm in.

If you want some help,

unless you're like the lone
wolf type or whatever.

Sure.

More the merrier.

- Betty.
- Hey.

- Is Chuck at home?
- No, he's working.

My mom and I are waiting
to hear something.

Anything about Polly and
she's driving me crazy.

Yeah. I'm feeling pretty crazy
and frustrated myself.

Let's go upstairs.

- Is that me?
- It's me, I think.

Yeah, it's my friend,
Todd from the academy.

It's probably about Polly's phone.

I should go, but this...
was really nice.

- What's this?
- Chad.

Upon reflection, I think we
need to pump the brakes.

Back in New York, I had the instinct

that we should take some
time to be by ourselves.

And as fun as the last
few days have been,

- I still think we need a break.
- Because of Archie?

No, Chad. Because of me.

Because I need real time
and space to figure out

if I'm a Pop's girl or
a Mia's girl or both.

It's not gonna be a problem, is it?

Not at all.

Just let me know when
you're ready to talk.

Cheryl.

Hi, Toni.

I was going to give you a call
and then I thought, mmm no.

Stealing my Vixens
warrants a visit in person.

You're playing a very
dangerous game, Topaz.

All right. You've each
been assigned a locker.

That's to go along with your new cleats,

your new uniform and pads.

I'm also psyched to announce
our generous sponsor

for all this stuff and other Bulldog
expenses is Veronica Gekko.

Lodge, actually. Veronica Lodge.

Okay. Well, you heard the lady.

Let's give Veronica Lodge
a round of applause.

You asked me to call
if anything interesting

or important happens.

Well, you should know

what's going on in the boys
locker room right now.

I see.

Well, thank you, Miss Bell.

Your information is, as always,
very much appreciated.

We'll be in touch.

You see, now I'm angry.

- What happened?
- Archie Andrews made good

on his promise to you and
started a football team...

with my daughter's money.

So maybe this time, we pay him a visit.

I heard from my friend Todd at the FBI.

He traced the call to
somewhere in this region.

Swedlow Swamp?

I don't understand. What
was Polly doing there?

And how on earth are
we going to find her?

That's acres and acres of marsh land.

We'll just have to keep
calling her cell phone

until we hear it ring.

Assuming it's still charged.

We've been out here for
hours. We're freezing.

- Maybe we should pick it up...
- Shh.

I hear something.

Let's split up.

Guys, guys over here.

Archie, there's a fire!

It's on the back porch, too.
