Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,638 --> 00:00:07,729
On the eve of war,
we gathered in Archie's house.
2
00:00:07,754 --> 00:00:10,039
Percival didn't know that
we were back from the dead,
3
00:00:10,064 --> 00:00:12,066
and that gave us a slight advantage.
4
00:00:12,517 --> 00:00:15,738
Though he remained
the ultimate man of mystery.
5
00:00:15,763 --> 00:00:17,982
What do we know about Percival
after all this time?
6
00:00:18,007 --> 00:00:19,691
Well, we know he's a magical sorcerer
7
00:00:19,715 --> 00:00:21,532
and his powers are getting stronger
8
00:00:21,557 --> 00:00:23,385
the closer Bailey's Comet gets to us.
9
00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:25,630
We know that he's building a ghost train
10
00:00:25,655 --> 00:00:28,136
which will grant him power
over the souls of the dead,
11
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:30,562
though we don't know how or why
he's planning to use them.
12
00:00:30,587 --> 00:00:34,417
And we know that he sees Baby
Anthony as a major threat to his future.
13
00:00:34,442 --> 00:00:35,769
We know that the Pickens family has
14
00:00:35,793 --> 00:00:37,750
a long-standing history with Riverdale.
15
00:00:37,775 --> 00:00:40,691
For instance, that horrid
General Augustus Pickens
16
00:00:40,758 --> 00:00:42,455
slaughtered the Uktena tribe
back in the day.
17
00:00:42,499 --> 00:00:46,154
But there is no record of a
Percival in the Pickens family,
18
00:00:46,198 --> 00:00:47,852
at least not in the Blossom archives.
19
00:00:47,895 --> 00:00:50,463
Before Heraldo died,
he looked into Percival for me,
20
00:00:50,507 --> 00:00:52,039
and he said it's like he didn't even
21
00:00:52,064 --> 00:00:54,127
exist before showing up in Riverdale.
22
00:00:54,424 --> 00:00:56,469
So where the hell did he come from then?
23
00:00:56,513 --> 00:00:59,124
Drilling down, what does Percival want?
24
00:00:59,167 --> 00:01:00,995
What does he actually want?
The apocalypse?
25
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:04,434
No, I think that's only if he
doesn't get what he wants.
26
00:01:04,477 --> 00:01:05,998
What about our powers?
27
00:01:06,023 --> 00:01:08,326
They all appeared at the same
time that Percival showed up.
28
00:01:08,351 --> 00:01:09,700
Is that a coincidence
29
00:01:09,743 --> 00:01:11,615
- or a connection?
- Do you have any theories, Jug?
30
00:01:11,658 --> 00:01:15,009
I mean, I have one that I'm working
on, but it's too early to discuss.
31
00:01:15,053 --> 00:01:17,708
Okay. We need to be smart
about our next move.
32
00:01:17,751 --> 00:01:19,318
We need a plan.
33
00:01:19,362 --> 00:01:20,389
Strategize.
34
00:01:20,414 --> 00:01:22,321
In the meantime,
we should make Percival believe
35
00:01:22,365 --> 00:01:24,628
that it's business
as usual in Riverdale.
36
00:01:24,671 --> 00:01:28,196
In that case, I should
head over to the casino.
37
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,111
Percival's staying
in one of my champagne suites.
38
00:01:30,155 --> 00:01:31,635
And Reggie is still working with him,
39
00:01:31,678 --> 00:01:33,506
so maybe I can try to suss him out.
40
00:01:33,550 --> 00:01:35,508
Okay. Be careful, Ronnie.
41
00:01:35,552 --> 00:01:36,770
Always am, Archie.
42
00:01:43,317 --> 00:01:44,666
Sweet cousin,
43
00:01:44,691 --> 00:01:47,311
you need to pay a visit to Thornhill
posthaste.
44
00:01:47,336 --> 00:01:50,890
Someone very near and dear
to your heart wants to see you.
45
00:01:50,915 --> 00:01:53,352
What are you talking about? Who does?
46
00:01:53,396 --> 00:01:55,876
Look, I'll tell you,
but you can't lose your mind.
47
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,184
And you mustn't breathe
a word about this to anyone.
48
00:01:59,673 --> 00:02:01,065
Okay?
49
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,568
Okay, so what is this theory of yours?
50
00:02:06,626 --> 00:02:11,283
So I told Tabitha
about the other Jughead,
51
00:02:11,326 --> 00:02:15,374
the mysterious plate of Pop's food
that materialized out of nowhere.
52
00:02:15,418 --> 00:02:17,420
My other strange visitors.
53
00:02:17,463 --> 00:02:22,076
Okay, so you think
that you opened up a portal?
54
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,279
Yes. One there and one there.
55
00:02:24,304 --> 00:02:25,479
How?
56
00:02:25,732 --> 00:02:28,343
Well, I've been doing
some research. Here.
57
00:02:28,387 --> 00:02:31,434
Read, starting at this yellow sticky.
58
00:02:33,740 --> 00:02:35,481
There's a theory that some mind readers
59
00:02:35,525 --> 00:02:38,615
aren't really reading minds,
but opening portals
60
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:42,532
into people's psychic landscapes
and stepping through them.
61
00:02:42,575 --> 00:02:44,925
Which is what it feels
like I've been doing.
62
00:02:46,623 --> 00:02:50,844
Okay. So you think that
you're not just a mind reader,
63
00:02:50,888 --> 00:02:54,282
but also a portal opener?
64
00:02:54,326 --> 00:02:55,980
Yeah, in the same way that you thought
65
00:02:56,023 --> 00:02:58,417
you were a time traveler,
but you're actually an angel.
66
00:02:58,461 --> 00:03:00,550
And, and, and when your powers
were going crazy,
67
00:03:00,593 --> 00:03:04,728
you think that you unconsciously
opened up portals down here.
68
00:03:04,771 --> 00:03:05,926
Hmm.
69
00:03:05,951 --> 00:03:07,513
But to where?
70
00:03:07,557 --> 00:03:11,299
I'm not sure, but it's someplace
71
00:03:11,343 --> 00:03:14,738
where there is someone
that looks exactly like me.
72
00:03:14,781 --> 00:03:15,782
Like another Jughead.
73
00:03:15,826 --> 00:03:17,654
And there's another Pop's, too.
74
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:19,338
And I was hearing voices and they
75
00:03:19,362 --> 00:03:21,788
sounded a lot like our friends' voices.
76
00:03:21,832 --> 00:03:24,356
And there's a typewriter typing too.
77
00:03:24,399 --> 00:03:27,490
Are you talking about another dimension?
78
00:03:29,056 --> 00:03:32,799
Yeah. I didn't want
to say that word, but yes,
79
00:03:32,843 --> 00:03:34,279
and I think we should explore it.
80
00:03:34,304 --> 00:03:38,301
But, Jughead, we're getting
ready for a war in this dimension.
81
00:03:38,326 --> 00:03:42,069
I know I know that, Tabitha, but
our powers started manifesting
82
00:03:42,113 --> 00:03:45,420
after that big explosion
at Archie's, right?
83
00:03:45,464 --> 00:03:47,466
That was the epicenter.
84
00:03:47,510 --> 00:03:49,401
And then the first time that any of us
85
00:03:49,425 --> 00:03:51,905
saw Percival was Archie at his house.
86
00:03:53,124 --> 00:03:54,865
Percival has these supernatural powers.
87
00:03:54,908 --> 00:03:56,562
Now, a lot of us do, too.
88
00:03:56,606 --> 00:04:00,697
I think there's a connection
between the explosion,
89
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:03,569
our powers and Percival's arrival.
90
00:04:03,613 --> 00:04:06,354
I just... I'm not sure...
91
00:04:06,398 --> 00:04:08,792
that we'll find them here in Riverdale.
92
00:04:11,229 --> 00:04:13,405
Do you want to go
dimension hopping with me?
93
00:04:13,448 --> 00:04:16,408
Alice, thank you so much for seeing me.
94
00:04:16,451 --> 00:04:20,673
Of course. What can I do
for you, Mr. Mayor?
95
00:04:20,717 --> 00:04:24,285
Well, my inevitable victory
is almost upon us.
96
00:04:24,329 --> 00:04:27,419
And I wanted to document
my history for posterity.
97
00:04:27,462 --> 00:04:29,943
By granting me an exclusive
sit-down interview,
98
00:04:29,987 --> 00:04:31,423
Barbara Walters style?
99
00:04:31,466 --> 00:04:32,811
Exactly.
100
00:04:32,836 --> 00:04:36,664
And afterwards, RIVW can
broadcast the live execution
101
00:04:36,689 --> 00:04:38,082
of three traitors to our cause.
102
00:04:38,125 --> 00:04:40,127
Reggie and Marty Mantle
and Kevin Keller.
103
00:04:40,171 --> 00:04:41,826
Come again?
104
00:04:42,477 --> 00:04:43,478
Alice.
105
00:04:43,503 --> 00:04:45,853
We are on the verge of war.
106
00:04:45,878 --> 00:04:50,854
We must now instill terror
and exert absolute control.
107
00:04:51,704 --> 00:04:54,968
Besides, think of the ratings.
108
00:04:58,881 --> 00:05:00,321
Sugar?
109
00:05:08,076 --> 00:05:09,853
What is going on here?
110
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:12,614
Are those guillotines?
111
00:05:13,726 --> 00:05:15,249
You need to leave, Miss Lodge.
112
00:05:15,293 --> 00:05:16,686
You've been barred from the premises.
113
00:05:16,729 --> 00:05:18,644
Excuse me. This is my casino.
114
00:05:18,688 --> 00:05:19,811
Not anymore.
115
00:05:19,836 --> 00:05:22,667
In your absence, the board of
directors had a no confidence vote
116
00:05:22,692 --> 00:05:25,608
and you were relieved of your
duties, effective immediately.
117
00:05:27,044 --> 00:05:31,178
The scheme reeks of Reggie. Where is he?
118
00:05:31,222 --> 00:05:33,398
Unfortunately,
he's currently indisposed.
119
00:05:33,441 --> 00:05:34,818
All right, then.
Let me talk to Percival.
120
00:05:34,843 --> 00:05:37,856
Mayor Pickens is very busy
with an important interview,
121
00:05:37,881 --> 00:05:41,058
but he did authorize us
to remove you from the casino
122
00:05:41,101 --> 00:05:42,276
should you show up.
123
00:05:43,103 --> 00:05:44,627
By any means necessary.
124
00:05:46,541 --> 00:05:47,804
Fine.
125
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:49,217
I'm leaving.
126
00:06:04,369 --> 00:06:07,279
- Betty!
- Polly.
127
00:06:14,845 --> 00:06:16,983
It's like opening a door.
128
00:06:20,172 --> 00:06:22,068
It's like opening a door.
129
00:06:31,543 --> 00:06:32,675
Like opening a door...
130
00:06:44,991 --> 00:06:47,385
Hello, darkness, my old friend.
131
00:06:49,866 --> 00:06:53,565
Well... you first.
132
00:07:01,921 --> 00:07:05,795
Whoa, whoa! What the
hell are you doing here?
133
00:07:05,838 --> 00:07:08,362
- You can't be in this universe.
- Okay.
134
00:07:08,387 --> 00:07:09,904
Hi.
135
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:11,931
Are you the person that's been going
136
00:07:11,975 --> 00:07:14,368
through my portals
and stealing my stories?
137
00:07:14,412 --> 00:07:15,867
I'm sorry.
138
00:07:15,892 --> 00:07:17,197
Steal your stories?
139
00:07:18,851 --> 00:07:20,940
Everything you've been writing,
you have clearly stolen
140
00:07:20,984 --> 00:07:23,987
from what you've overheard
happening here in Rivervale.
141
00:07:24,030 --> 00:07:26,729
Wait, did you just say Rivervale?
142
00:07:27,551 --> 00:07:28,987
Is that where we are?
143
00:07:29,296 --> 00:07:31,908
Some alternate, parallel universe?
144
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:36,129
Yes, Rivervale,
as opposed to your Riverdale.
145
00:07:36,173 --> 00:07:39,089
I think you'd better start talking.
146
00:07:39,132 --> 00:07:42,832
So this other "Bunker"
Jughead told us about Riverdale
147
00:07:42,875 --> 00:07:46,217
and Rivervale being conjoined
parallel universes.
148
00:07:46,242 --> 00:07:48,375
And how they started
to bleed into each other
149
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,844
and how both would have
self-destructed if the explosion
150
00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:53,742
in Archie's bedroom
hadn't separated the two.
151
00:07:53,767 --> 00:07:55,290
One catch.
152
00:07:55,315 --> 00:07:57,865
See, Rivervale
was feeding off of Riverdale.
153
00:07:57,890 --> 00:08:00,645
Anything that was happening in Riverdale
154
00:08:00,670 --> 00:08:02,808
was also happening here in Rivervale.
155
00:08:02,852 --> 00:08:03,940
But it was darker.
156
00:08:03,983 --> 00:08:05,811
It was even more twisted and messed up.
157
00:08:05,855 --> 00:08:10,685
People were dying, the universes
were unstable, and then they split.
158
00:08:10,729 --> 00:08:15,686
Riverdale was saved,
but I had to stay down here
159
00:08:15,821 --> 00:08:19,129
and keep writing in order
to keep Rivervale going.
160
00:08:20,329 --> 00:08:21,722
Okay, so...
161
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:25,937
you're like a living battery
162
00:08:25,962 --> 00:08:29,400
- whose imagination fuels this universe?
- Yeah.
163
00:08:30,836 --> 00:08:32,011
That sucks.
164
00:08:32,055 --> 00:08:33,578
Yeah.
165
00:08:33,621 --> 00:08:36,059
And then the portals opened
to Riverdale,
166
00:08:36,102 --> 00:08:37,625
and I heard you typing away.
167
00:08:37,669 --> 00:08:38,931
So, I thought,
168
00:08:38,975 --> 00:08:41,020
oh, I would go and borrow
some of your stories
169
00:08:41,064 --> 00:08:42,076
for inspiration.
170
00:08:42,101 --> 00:08:45,478
But they were all just
recycled stories from Rivervale.
171
00:08:45,503 --> 00:08:47,679
And anyhow, the portal's closed.
172
00:08:47,722 --> 00:08:51,248
The portal's closed because someone
named Percival Pickens killed me.
173
00:08:51,291 --> 00:08:52,670
That's why we're here.
174
00:08:52,695 --> 00:08:55,575
Percival is trying to take over
or destroy Riverdale.
175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,994
And we're looking for
information for how to stop him.
176
00:08:58,037 --> 00:08:59,996
I mean, is it possible
that there's another version
177
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,869
of Percival Pickens here in Rivervale?
178
00:09:03,913 --> 00:09:05,958
Well, not that I know of.
179
00:09:06,002 --> 00:09:08,178
But it's possible. I don't
leave the bunker much.
180
00:09:08,221 --> 00:09:10,006
Like, ever, actually.
181
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:12,312
There's no paper trail
for Percival in Riverdale.
182
00:09:12,356 --> 00:09:14,053
But maybe there's one here.
183
00:09:14,097 --> 00:09:16,882
We were thinking about checking out
the Blossom archives.
184
00:09:16,926 --> 00:09:18,449
Maybe they're different here.
185
00:09:18,492 --> 00:09:19,972
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
186
00:09:20,016 --> 00:09:22,366
No. Uh-uh. You can't go up there.
187
00:09:22,409 --> 00:09:24,847
Not since the "Great Forgetting."
188
00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:27,501
Everything in Rivervale
is in a very delicate balance.
189
00:09:27,545 --> 00:09:29,764
Everything is holding on just so,
190
00:09:29,808 --> 00:09:31,897
and it started to get nice and quiet.
191
00:09:31,941 --> 00:09:34,465
Well, the opposite is
happening in Riverdale.
192
00:09:34,508 --> 00:09:37,772
Things are getting crazier,
more supernatural.
193
00:09:37,816 --> 00:09:41,080
What if Rivervale is now bleeding into
194
00:09:41,124 --> 00:09:43,169
and wreaking havoc in Riverdale?
195
00:09:43,213 --> 00:09:45,745
Be that as it may, if someone sees
196
00:09:45,769 --> 00:09:48,131
you interacting with your counterparts,
197
00:09:48,174 --> 00:09:50,960
it could precipitate another crisis.
198
00:09:51,003 --> 00:09:53,832
Well, aren't you my counterpart?
199
00:09:53,876 --> 00:09:55,007
Uh, technically, no.
200
00:09:55,051 --> 00:09:56,966
There are two Jugheads in this universe.
201
00:09:57,009 --> 00:09:58,097
Me and another one.
202
00:09:58,141 --> 00:10:00,012
And he's up topside,
203
00:10:00,056 --> 00:10:04,016
he's living his best life
and I have to toil away down here.
204
00:10:04,060 --> 00:10:05,811
We will be careful.
205
00:10:05,836 --> 00:10:09,069
I'm assuming that Nana and
Cheryl live at Thornhill still.
206
00:10:09,195 --> 00:10:12,242
So, Nana Blossom,
207
00:10:12,285 --> 00:10:15,767
her consciousness
went into Cheryl's body.
208
00:10:15,810 --> 00:10:19,336
Which is actually Abigail's
immortal body.
209
00:10:19,379 --> 00:10:21,164
- We'll figure it out.
- Yeah.
210
00:10:21,207 --> 00:10:22,600
No, no, no.
211
00:10:22,643 --> 00:10:25,690
That could lead to a string
of cataclysmic events.
212
00:10:25,733 --> 00:10:27,648
That is what we're facing
back in Riverdale.
213
00:10:27,869 --> 00:10:29,305
But do not worry.
214
00:10:29,330 --> 00:10:32,725
We will do our best to avoid ourselves.
215
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:41,637
- Synced and corrected by synk -

216
00:10:42,925 --> 00:10:46,276
Well, Mr. Mayor.
Where would you like to start?
217
00:10:46,319 --> 00:10:48,669
The year was 1580.
218
00:10:48,713 --> 00:10:52,630
And a ship named the Ruby Pearl
arrived on these fair shores
219
00:10:52,673 --> 00:10:55,546
carrying a motley
assortment of passengers.
220
00:10:55,589 --> 00:10:58,984
Passengers who'd left the Old
World for a myriad of reasons.
221
00:10:59,028 --> 00:11:00,381
In any case,
222
00:11:00,406 --> 00:11:03,398
these hardy settlers founded
the first colonies of the New World
223
00:11:03,423 --> 00:11:08,037
on fertile land by a river
as sweet as it was restorative.
224
00:11:08,062 --> 00:11:10,922
And are you referring
to Sweetwater River?
225
00:11:10,947 --> 00:11:12,209
Mmm.
226
00:11:13,085 --> 00:11:15,174
I was among those early settlers.
227
00:11:16,045 --> 00:11:17,524
How is that possible?
228
00:11:17,568 --> 00:11:20,397
Patience, Alice.
All will be revealed in time.
229
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,008
Making the journey with me,
were the ancestors of many
230
00:11:23,052 --> 00:11:24,705
who still reside here today.
231
00:11:24,749 --> 00:11:26,272
Asher Andrews,
232
00:11:26,316 --> 00:11:28,535
Blessing Cooper,
233
00:11:28,579 --> 00:11:30,450
James Jones,
234
00:11:30,494 --> 00:11:31,799
Charity Blossom.
235
00:11:31,843 --> 00:11:33,366
They began building up
236
00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:36,456
Sweetwater Village
like good little workers.
237
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:39,807
While I, on the other hand,
pursued less wholesome interests.
238
00:11:39,851 --> 00:11:41,635
Witchcraft and sorcery.
239
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,029
Every night, while my neighbors slept,
240
00:11:44,073 --> 00:11:47,728
I disappeared into the Sweetwater
woods to perform arcane rituals.
241
00:11:47,772 --> 00:11:50,209
And it was on one such night
that my activities
242
00:11:50,253 --> 00:11:52,124
involving a girl from our settlement
243
00:11:52,168 --> 00:11:55,432
were interrupted by the untimely arrival
244
00:11:55,475 --> 00:11:58,130
of Asher Andrews.
245
00:11:58,174 --> 00:12:01,220
I was brought before
Sweetwater Village's Council.
246
00:12:01,264 --> 00:12:04,310
Their judgment, swift and cruel.
247
00:12:04,354 --> 00:12:07,444
I was to be executed for my crimes.
248
00:12:07,487 --> 00:12:11,354
Left in the woods to
die a slow, agonizing
249
00:12:11,378 --> 00:12:15,060
death from starvation and exposure.
250
00:12:15,104 --> 00:12:18,324
And what exactly were
your crimes, Mr. Mayor?
251
00:12:18,368 --> 00:12:20,370
I was trying
to conjure the devil, Alice.
252
00:12:20,413 --> 00:12:23,590
And while my ritual wasn't completed,
253
00:12:23,634 --> 00:12:26,600
I had succeeded
in getting his attention.
254
00:12:28,726 --> 00:12:30,249
I'll never forget that night.
255
00:12:34,514 --> 00:12:36,821
He told me he'd been
attracted by my spell,
256
00:12:36,864 --> 00:12:38,562
then enticed by my fate.
257
00:12:42,479 --> 00:12:46,967
He offered my freedom
at the price of my soul.
258
00:12:51,705 --> 00:12:53,055
Hey, there.
259
00:12:53,620 --> 00:12:55,231
Feeling better?
260
00:12:56,459 --> 00:12:57,959
Yeah...
261
00:12:59,191 --> 00:13:00,671
Polly, is it really you?
262
00:13:00,714 --> 00:13:01,889
It is.
263
00:13:01,933 --> 00:13:03,065
It's really me.
264
00:13:06,459 --> 00:13:07,765
Oh, my God.
265
00:13:12,378 --> 00:13:13,466
I'm so sorry.
266
00:13:15,251 --> 00:13:17,601
I'm so sorry for everything.
267
00:13:17,644 --> 00:13:20,256
I'm so sorry for the fight that we had,
268
00:13:20,299 --> 00:13:22,127
that I wasn't a better sister to you,
269
00:13:22,171 --> 00:13:25,826
that I wasn't able
to protect you or save you.
270
00:13:25,870 --> 00:13:27,132
Betty.
271
00:13:27,176 --> 00:13:29,352
None of that matters now.
272
00:13:29,395 --> 00:13:32,920
All of that pain,
all that suffering, it just...
273
00:13:32,964 --> 00:13:34,487
fell away.
274
00:13:34,531 --> 00:13:37,316
And I don't need you to explain
or apologize for anything.
275
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,753
You never did anything to hurt me.
276
00:13:39,797 --> 00:13:42,029
I'm the reason that you died.
277
00:13:43,264 --> 00:13:44,758
And if we hadn't fought...
278
00:13:44,802 --> 00:13:46,325
No, Betty.
279
00:13:47,152 --> 00:13:49,023
I forgive you.
280
00:13:49,067 --> 00:13:51,896
There's nothing to forgive
you for. But I forgive you.
281
00:13:51,939 --> 00:13:54,725
But you don't understand.
They're telling me...
282
00:13:54,768 --> 00:13:57,249
They're telling me that I'm
the Harlot of Babylon, Polly,
283
00:13:57,293 --> 00:13:59,811
and that I won't be able
to get into heaven.
284
00:13:59,836 --> 00:14:00,861
Who?
285
00:14:00,905 --> 00:14:02,385
Who told you that?
286
00:14:02,428 --> 00:14:05,953
It doesn't matter because
it's how I feel about myself.
287
00:14:05,997 --> 00:14:08,434
I've felt that way before, too.
288
00:14:08,478 --> 00:14:11,288
But I am here to tell you that you
289
00:14:11,313 --> 00:14:14,223
are worth so much more than that.
290
00:14:14,266 --> 00:14:18,467
So please just sit with that
fact and then let it all go.
291
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:21,143
I don't think I can't.
There's too much...
292
00:14:23,145 --> 00:14:25,625
darkness churning inside me, Polly.
293
00:14:25,669 --> 00:14:27,584
Just be still.
294
00:14:27,627 --> 00:14:31,544
Be a vessel and let grace wash over you.
295
00:14:31,588 --> 00:14:33,024
Fill you.
296
00:14:33,067 --> 00:14:36,201
Think about being a good person
because you are one.
297
00:14:42,076 --> 00:14:43,426
As if I wouldn't be able to access
298
00:14:43,469 --> 00:14:48,344
the Babylonium security cameras
remotely. Idiots.
299
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:53,194
Okay. Let's see exactly
what's going on in my casino.
300
00:14:59,311 --> 00:15:00,921
Dad! Dad!
301
00:15:00,965 --> 00:15:02,401
- What the hell?
- Dad!
302
00:15:02,445 --> 00:15:04,360
Hey! Help! Help! We need a medic! Help!
303
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:06,498
Come on!
304
00:15:07,232 --> 00:15:08,451
What happened?
305
00:15:08,494 --> 00:15:09,843
My dad just had a heart attack.
306
00:15:09,887 --> 00:15:11,236
We gotta get him to the hospital.
307
00:15:22,813 --> 00:15:25,250
Let us out of the vault
or your boy here dies.
308
00:15:25,294 --> 00:15:27,504
You won't do it.
You're a clown, not a killer.
309
00:15:27,529 --> 00:15:29,177
You're all right with this?
310
00:15:29,211 --> 00:15:31,952
I'm not pointing the gun at you, Reggie.
311
00:15:31,996 --> 00:15:33,432
I'm trained on Tom.
312
00:15:33,476 --> 00:15:35,391
And he knows that I'm
prepared to pull the trigger
313
00:15:35,434 --> 00:15:37,306
because Tom and I are soldiers.
314
00:15:37,349 --> 00:15:38,785
We know what we're fighting for.
315
00:15:38,829 --> 00:15:40,700
We're prepared to kill for it.
316
00:15:40,744 --> 00:15:42,224
And die for it.
317
00:15:42,267 --> 00:15:46,445
So, if you don't let Tom
go by the count of three,
318
00:15:46,489 --> 00:15:48,578
you're gonna have his blood
on your hands.
319
00:15:48,621 --> 00:15:50,101
One...
320
00:15:51,363 --> 00:15:52,408
Two...
321
00:15:59,371 --> 00:16:01,678
Don't ever do anything like that again,
322
00:16:01,721 --> 00:16:04,071
because next time I'm just gonna shoot.
323
00:16:04,115 --> 00:16:06,160
Come on, Dad. This isn't you.
324
00:16:06,204 --> 00:16:09,338
This is Percival controlling you.
You need to fight him.
325
00:16:09,381 --> 00:16:10,774
Look at the bright side, son.
326
00:16:10,817 --> 00:16:12,950
With this execution,
Percival is going to make you
327
00:16:12,993 --> 00:16:15,996
more famous than you ever
would have gotten on your own.
328
00:16:25,005 --> 00:16:26,224
Oh, my gosh. Jughead! Hi.
329
00:16:26,268 --> 00:16:27,312
Hi.
330
00:16:27,356 --> 00:16:28,792
What's up?
331
00:16:28,835 --> 00:16:32,230
We were hoping to take a look
at the Blossom archives.
332
00:16:32,274 --> 00:16:35,320
- We're doing some research for...
- A new comic book project?
333
00:16:35,364 --> 00:16:36,974
That's so exciting!
334
00:16:37,017 --> 00:16:39,629
But unfortunately, the
Blossom archives got transferred
335
00:16:39,672 --> 00:16:41,413
to Highsmith College two years ago.
336
00:16:41,457 --> 00:16:43,676
Oh-kay.
337
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,200
Well, in that case,
can we talk to Nana Blossom?
338
00:16:46,244 --> 00:16:48,290
And ask her a few questions.
339
00:16:49,247 --> 00:16:50,944
What happened to her?
340
00:16:50,988 --> 00:16:54,383
When Nana's consciousness
was transferred into Abigail's body,
341
00:16:54,426 --> 00:16:57,037
her old ailments transferred as well.
342
00:16:57,081 --> 00:17:01,738
So while her body's young, her
brains succumbed to Nana's dementia.
343
00:17:01,781 --> 00:17:03,435
Could you still go into her mind
344
00:17:03,479 --> 00:17:06,178
and look for anything
she might know about Percival?
345
00:17:08,962 --> 00:17:11,400
Britta, we're going to sit
with Nana for bit.
346
00:17:11,443 --> 00:17:13,227
Do you think you could brew us some tea?
347
00:17:43,643 --> 00:17:45,654
Anything?
348
00:17:49,307 --> 00:17:51,440
No, it's a lost cause.
349
00:17:51,483 --> 00:17:53,093
And there goes our best shot to find out
350
00:17:53,137 --> 00:17:55,313
if Nana or any of the Blossoms
knew anything about Percival.
351
00:17:55,357 --> 00:17:57,010
Um, the tea's brewing.
352
00:17:57,054 --> 00:17:59,273
But in the meantime, would
you mind signing these for me?
353
00:18:02,625 --> 00:18:03,800
The Superteens?
354
00:18:03,843 --> 00:18:05,410
I'm a huge fan.
355
00:18:05,454 --> 00:18:06,585
I mean, who isn't?
356
00:18:06,629 --> 00:18:08,544
I have multiple copies of every issue.
357
00:18:08,892 --> 00:18:10,720
Whoa!
358
00:18:10,763 --> 00:18:13,418
These must be written
by Rivervale's Jughead.
359
00:18:13,462 --> 00:18:15,028
Not the one in the bunker.
360
00:18:15,072 --> 00:18:17,509
The other one.
361
00:18:17,553 --> 00:18:19,872
Do these characters
look familiar to you?
362
00:18:19,897 --> 00:18:24,386
Yeah, and it looks like their powers
correspond to ours back home.
363
00:18:24,429 --> 00:18:25,735
That can't be a coincidence.
364
00:18:25,778 --> 00:18:28,259
It's not. Jughead, look.
365
00:18:28,955 --> 00:18:31,436
Who is this again?
366
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,524
You're joking, right?
367
00:18:32,568 --> 00:18:35,397
That's the Superteens' archnemesis.
368
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,944
The mad wizard, Percy the Perverse.
369
00:18:39,836 --> 00:18:41,011
Weird question.
370
00:18:41,054 --> 00:18:43,143
Do I still
do all of my writing at Pop's?
371
00:18:43,187 --> 00:18:46,016
Yeah, in your booth.
372
00:18:46,059 --> 00:18:48,412
It's kind of your thing.
373
00:18:49,323 --> 00:18:50,455
Thanks.
374
00:19:01,205 --> 00:19:05,601
Jay-Jay, it is sublime to be together
again in companionable silence.
375
00:19:06,826 --> 00:19:10,432
But tell me, are you happy to be back?
376
00:19:10,475 --> 00:19:12,521
I am.
377
00:19:12,564 --> 00:19:15,990
I'm so glad that I don't
have to fight in that war.
378
00:19:16,699 --> 00:19:18,004
What war?
379
00:19:20,485 --> 00:19:22,951
I know why Percival's
building the ghost train.
380
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,879
Jay-Jay spilled the tea whilst
I was painting his portrait.
381
00:19:27,904 --> 00:19:30,626
Turns out Percival's long-dead
relation General Augustus Pickens
382
00:19:30,669 --> 00:19:33,498
is going around the Sweet
Hereafter, drafting dead strapping souls
383
00:19:33,542 --> 00:19:35,286
like my dear brother to fight a war
384
00:19:35,311 --> 00:19:36,973
against the living here in Riverdale.
385
00:19:36,998 --> 00:19:38,503
And Percival's using the ghost train
386
00:19:38,547 --> 00:19:40,505
to ship them to Riverdale
so he can invade us.
387
00:19:40,549 --> 00:19:41,898
When does Jason think
this is going to happen?
388
00:19:41,941 --> 00:19:43,639
In advance of Bailey's Comet's arrival.
389
00:19:43,682 --> 00:19:45,510
So then there's still time.
390
00:19:45,554 --> 00:19:47,860
- To do what?
- To build a bomb.
391
00:19:47,904 --> 00:19:50,689
So we can blow up the
train tracks and stop Percival.
392
00:19:52,256 --> 00:19:53,605
It's Veronica.
393
00:19:53,649 --> 00:19:56,086
She may have dug up some intel
from the Babylonium.
394
00:19:56,129 --> 00:20:00,133
So Reggie, Kevin and
Mr. Mantle are all prisoners of war?
395
00:20:00,161 --> 00:20:02,692
Exactly. And given the three guillotines
396
00:20:02,717 --> 00:20:04,513
I spied on the Babylonium stage,
397
00:20:04,573 --> 00:20:06,618
I suspect they're going to be executed.
398
00:20:06,662 --> 00:20:08,228
Sooner rather than later
399
00:20:08,272 --> 00:20:10,753
if you blow up Percival's
precious train tracks.
400
00:20:12,624 --> 00:20:14,713
Okay. So we need to get them
out first and then blow up the tracks.
401
00:20:14,757 --> 00:20:17,716
I just don't think
that's going to be possible, Archie.
402
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:38,389
- Hey.
- God!
403
00:20:38,432 --> 00:20:41,435
Are you okay? How are you feeling?
404
00:20:41,479 --> 00:20:44,342
Definitely not filled with grace.
405
00:20:44,961 --> 00:20:47,441
Betty, taking stock of your life,
406
00:20:47,485 --> 00:20:50,488
what exactly do you think you did
that's so unforgivable?
407
00:20:53,186 --> 00:20:54,666
Okay. Where do I start?
408
00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:58,278
I killed our family cat
with a rock, Polly.
409
00:20:58,322 --> 00:20:59,802
You were eight.
410
00:20:59,845 --> 00:21:01,107
Caramel was suffering.
411
00:21:01,151 --> 00:21:03,196
Dad was influencing you.
412
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,565
That doesn't make you a bad person.
413
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:06,722
So what else?
414
00:21:09,159 --> 00:21:13,642
I know it may sound stupid,
but I still feel awful
415
00:21:13,685 --> 00:21:15,774
about kissing Archie in high school.
416
00:21:17,428 --> 00:21:19,256
I betrayed Jughead.
417
00:21:19,299 --> 00:21:20,736
I betrayed Veronica.
418
00:21:20,779 --> 00:21:23,826
I broke apart our friend group
right before graduation.
419
00:21:23,869 --> 00:21:27,786
That's definite Harlot of
Riverdale behavior, if you ask me.
420
00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:30,223
Betty, that kiss doesn't
make you a harlot.
421
00:21:30,267 --> 00:21:33,487
Sorry. So liberate yourself
from that, too,
422
00:21:33,531 --> 00:21:38,522
But also forgive yourself for
falling out of love with Jughead.
423
00:21:39,537 --> 00:21:43,497
That happens, and it doesn't
make you a bad person, either.
424
00:21:43,541 --> 00:21:45,761
So what else?
425
00:21:47,110 --> 00:21:48,546
Hmm?
426
00:21:48,590 --> 00:21:50,479
What aren't you telling me?
427
00:21:52,202 --> 00:21:55,858
When Percival was coming at us
with those plagues,
428
00:21:55,901 --> 00:21:59,296
I gave myself a crash course
in all things biblical,
429
00:21:59,339 --> 00:22:02,995
including the Harlot of
Babylon, but also Cain
430
00:22:04,736 --> 00:22:07,739
who was forever marked by his sin.
431
00:22:08,740 --> 00:22:10,263
The mark of Cain.
432
00:22:10,307 --> 00:22:12,135
I am marked, Polly.
433
00:22:13,789 --> 00:22:16,705
I have been marked since birth.
434
00:22:17,836 --> 00:22:20,578
The MAOA gene.
435
00:22:20,622 --> 00:22:22,624
I wondered if we'd circle back to that.
436
00:22:23,712 --> 00:22:25,714
I'm evil, Polly.
437
00:22:28,238 --> 00:22:29,935
It's written in my DNA.
438
00:22:32,721 --> 00:22:34,810
You may not think so,
but other people do.
439
00:22:36,072 --> 00:22:38,509
They've told me as much.
440
00:22:38,552 --> 00:22:40,816
You're the evil! You're the threat!
441
00:22:40,859 --> 00:22:43,688
You're a cold, fake, duplicitous bitch.
442
00:22:43,732 --> 00:22:46,822
You're one of us. An American psycho.
443
00:22:48,301 --> 00:22:51,740
Betty, I think I know
something that may help.
444
00:22:56,353 --> 00:22:58,463
Remember what Bunker Jughead said
445
00:22:58,487 --> 00:23:00,531
would happen if we confronted ourselves?
446
00:23:00,574 --> 00:23:03,708
Well, yeah, it would be a catastrophe
if someone saw us together.
447
00:23:03,752 --> 00:23:06,363
Besides, what would I even say?
448
00:23:06,406 --> 00:23:09,366
"Hey, me. Why do all my friends
have the same superpowers
449
00:23:09,409 --> 00:23:11,237
as the people you write
in your comic books?
450
00:23:11,281 --> 00:23:12,935
What are you, a wizard?
451
00:23:12,978 --> 00:23:14,806
Is everyone in this universal wizard?"
452
00:23:14,850 --> 00:23:18,680
Okay. I have a crazy idea for how
we can get the other Jughead alone.
453
00:23:18,723 --> 00:23:20,213
But we just need to wait for Tabitha...
454
00:23:20,237 --> 00:23:22,118
Rivervale Tabitha to take out the trash
455
00:23:22,161 --> 00:23:24,686
so that I can put her in a time loop.
456
00:23:25,382 --> 00:23:26,949
Okay.
457
00:23:26,992 --> 00:23:29,647
Okay. You head to our
apartment. Their apartment.
458
00:23:29,691 --> 00:23:33,154
I will get the other Jughead,
and we will meet you there.
459
00:23:33,825 --> 00:23:37,568
So tell me,
did you take the devil's deal?
460
00:23:37,611 --> 00:23:38,743
I did.
461
00:23:38,787 --> 00:23:40,832
After a little negotiation.
462
00:23:40,876 --> 00:23:43,057
You see, I managed to procure from him
463
00:23:43,081 --> 00:23:45,619
my immortality as well as my freedom.
464
00:23:45,663 --> 00:23:47,796
Ah, very clever.
465
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,973
How can the devil claim
your soul if you never die?
466
00:23:51,016 --> 00:23:52,452
Exactly.
467
00:23:52,496 --> 00:23:54,890
I left Sweetwater Village
and spent the next 400 years
468
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:58,415
going from town to town,
acquiring forbidden knowledge.
469
00:23:58,458 --> 00:24:00,939
Knowledge that I would use
to conquer or destroy
470
00:24:00,983 --> 00:24:03,376
the town of Rivervale when I returned.
471
00:24:03,420 --> 00:24:04,856
Wait...
472
00:24:04,900 --> 00:24:06,989
Did you say Rivervale?
473
00:24:07,032 --> 00:24:08,468
But did you mean Riverdale?
474
00:24:08,512 --> 00:24:10,834
No, Alice. I meant Rivervale.
475
00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:12,777
Let me explain.
476
00:24:12,821 --> 00:24:15,214
So I was headed back to where
Sweetwater Village was founded
477
00:24:15,258 --> 00:24:18,304
to take my revenge on the
place some 400 years later.
478
00:24:18,329 --> 00:24:20,070
And a curious thing happened.
479
00:24:21,873 --> 00:24:25,659
As I neared the town limits, I
heard the sound of an explosion.
480
00:24:27,749 --> 00:24:30,708
And then I noticed the town
sign, whereas before it had said
481
00:24:30,752 --> 00:24:32,275
Rivervale plain as day,
482
00:24:32,318 --> 00:24:34,843
now I was being welcomed to Riverdale.
483
00:24:36,845 --> 00:24:38,934
Something had happened, Alice.
484
00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:42,024
I found myself in a new universe.
485
00:24:42,067 --> 00:24:45,549
It seems that on my way back
to conquer Rivervale,
486
00:24:45,592 --> 00:24:48,944
I must have stepped through
a rift that had opened up.
487
00:24:48,987 --> 00:24:50,902
And so I found myself
in a different universe.
488
00:24:50,946 --> 00:24:55,602
This one where Rivervale
was called Riverdale.
489
00:24:55,646 --> 00:24:57,039
I am with you so far.
490
00:24:57,082 --> 00:24:58,954
Now, Riverdale was very
similar to my home universe,
491
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:01,957
only seemingly devoid
of the supernatural.
492
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,828
But I soon saw an opportunity.
493
00:25:03,872 --> 00:25:05,177
You see, I realized
494
00:25:05,221 --> 00:25:08,485
I was the most powerful
being in this new place.
495
00:25:08,528 --> 00:25:11,836
I had magic and immortality.
No one else did.
496
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,056
I also realized that the descendants
497
00:25:14,099 --> 00:25:16,493
of my enemies were still living
here, or at least versions of them.
498
00:25:16,536 --> 00:25:19,365
And they were caught up
in their petty squabbles,
499
00:25:19,409 --> 00:25:21,454
dramas, romances.
500
00:25:21,498 --> 00:25:24,327
- So your plan for revenge...
- Could still happen.
501
00:25:25,807 --> 00:25:27,199
And so I decided to stay.
502
00:25:27,243 --> 00:25:29,723
When no one knew me
or what I was capable of.
503
00:25:29,767 --> 00:25:31,856
I tried to buy Archie Andrews' house.
504
00:25:31,881 --> 00:25:35,251
I became a deputy, joined the council,
505
00:25:35,294 --> 00:25:36,818
opened my shop.
506
00:25:36,861 --> 00:25:38,863
You wove yourself
into the fabric of Riverdale.
507
00:25:38,888 --> 00:25:43,719
And as I slowly took it over,
I began to sideline my enemies.
508
00:25:43,999 --> 00:25:47,698
But then, another twist of fate.
509
00:25:47,741 --> 00:25:52,670
The descendants of my enemies began
developing gifts, abilities, powers
510
00:25:57,795 --> 00:26:02,060
and while this didn't dissuade
me, it did complicate matters.
511
00:26:02,104 --> 00:26:05,368
In any case, I focused
on building my ghost train
512
00:26:05,411 --> 00:26:08,762
in preparation for the final
battle for Riverdale's soul.
513
00:26:10,068 --> 00:26:11,896
A battle I plan on winning.
514
00:26:12,549 --> 00:26:14,246
And why do you think
515
00:26:14,290 --> 00:26:16,988
that some people in Riverdale
have started to develop these powers?
516
00:26:17,032 --> 00:26:21,993
Oh, gosh, I can only surmise
that as I slipped out of Rivervale,
517
00:26:22,037 --> 00:26:24,387
some of its arcane energies
must have escaped
518
00:26:24,430 --> 00:26:26,998
through the fissures
between worlds with me.
519
00:26:27,042 --> 00:26:29,348
And these energies
seeped into Riverdale,
520
00:26:29,392 --> 00:26:32,917
infecting the townspeople,
changing some of them.
521
00:26:32,961 --> 00:26:35,006
You know, water finds its level, Alice.
522
00:26:35,050 --> 00:26:36,921
Perhaps the universe wanted...
523
00:26:36,965 --> 00:26:38,923
Well, if not a fair fight,
524
00:26:38,967 --> 00:26:41,012
at least a more equal one.
525
00:26:41,056 --> 00:26:44,146
It doesn't matter, though,
I've had my powers for centuries.
526
00:26:44,189 --> 00:26:46,191
They've had theirs for weeks and months.
527
00:26:46,235 --> 00:26:49,847
Plus, with Bailey's Comet
arriving, I shall be at my most potent.
528
00:27:00,771 --> 00:27:02,077
Put your feet in.
529
00:27:03,034 --> 00:27:04,906
- Polly.
- Betty.
530
00:27:06,429 --> 00:27:07,677
Please.
531
00:27:25,622 --> 00:27:27,363
There.
532
00:27:27,406 --> 00:27:31,541
The MAOA gene isn't there anymore.
533
00:27:31,584 --> 00:27:33,755
Your original sin is gone.
534
00:27:34,065 --> 00:27:35,545
Washed clean.
535
00:27:35,588 --> 00:27:38,318
- That's impossible. You can't just...
- I did.
536
00:27:38,461 --> 00:27:39,766
It's gone.
537
00:27:39,810 --> 00:27:41,787
That marked part of you.
538
00:27:41,812 --> 00:27:43,553
It isn't there anymore.
539
00:27:43,596 --> 00:27:48,210
You're not the Harlot of Babylon
or Riverdale or anywhere else.
540
00:27:52,736 --> 00:27:56,087
Polly, all you did was wash my feet.
541
00:27:56,131 --> 00:27:57,915
As someone did for me
542
00:27:57,959 --> 00:28:00,135
before I walked
into the Sweet Hereafter.
543
00:28:00,962 --> 00:28:03,412
Now you can enter it, too.
544
00:28:10,868 --> 00:28:14,211
Hey, can you help me, please?
545
00:28:14,236 --> 00:28:15,802
Hello?
546
00:28:18,588 --> 00:28:19,981
Is someone there?
547
00:28:20,024 --> 00:28:22,232
Yes. I just need a second.
548
00:28:29,294 --> 00:28:32,620
Hey. Can you help me, please?
549
00:28:32,645 --> 00:28:34,669
Hello?
550
00:28:35,648 --> 00:28:36,998
Is someone there?
551
00:28:37,041 --> 00:28:38,865
Yes. I just need a second.
552
00:28:46,268 --> 00:28:49,575
Hey, can you take a break?
553
00:28:49,619 --> 00:28:52,615
Yeah. Where's your uniform?
554
00:28:53,188 --> 00:28:54,872
I'll explain everything.
555
00:28:55,625 --> 00:28:57,844
In private. At home.
556
00:28:57,888 --> 00:28:58,977
What's this all
557
00:28:59,002 --> 00:29:00,441
about? You're kind of freaking me out.
558
00:29:00,466 --> 00:29:03,067
Well, be prepared
to be even more freaked out.
559
00:29:03,111 --> 00:29:04,958
What are you talking about?
560
00:29:06,636 --> 00:29:07,941
Hey.
561
00:29:07,985 --> 00:29:10,074
Oh, my God.
562
00:29:10,118 --> 00:29:11,771
So, given everything,
563
00:29:11,815 --> 00:29:16,080
we believe that your comics
are directly or indirectly
564
00:29:16,124 --> 00:29:18,996
influencing actual events in our world.
565
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,737
Riverdale, where we are from.
566
00:29:20,780 --> 00:29:22,304
Me and my friends have even...
567
00:29:22,347 --> 00:29:24,828
Well, we have superpowers,
like in your comics.
568
00:29:24,871 --> 00:29:26,699
I believe you.
569
00:29:26,743 --> 00:29:28,310
I believe in the multiverse.
570
00:29:28,353 --> 00:29:31,035
I believed in multiverses
since before it was cool.
571
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:33,880
Can we ask where you got
your inspiration for your comics?
572
00:29:33,924 --> 00:29:36,405
And for these specific powers?
573
00:29:36,448 --> 00:29:39,712
I felt like these powers were
good fits for their characters.
574
00:29:39,756 --> 00:29:43,064
Like extensions of their
particular personalities.
575
00:29:43,107 --> 00:29:44,978
What about your villain?
576
00:29:45,022 --> 00:29:48,305
Percy the Perverse.
Where did he come from?
577
00:29:48,330 --> 00:29:50,419
A recurring nightmare.
578
00:29:50,462 --> 00:29:54,091
Okay. How do the Superteens defeat him?
579
00:29:54,597 --> 00:29:57,904
Well, as a matter of fact, check this.
580
00:29:57,948 --> 00:30:01,316
These are some rough
pages from my latest issue.
581
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:02,344
Oh.
582
00:30:02,387 --> 00:30:06,696
I call it "Death of the Superteens."
583
00:30:06,739 --> 00:30:10,961
In the end, after this epic
battle, Percy kills them all.
584
00:30:11,266 --> 00:30:12,702
Why?
585
00:30:12,745 --> 00:30:15,357
Why would you write something
so bleak and nihilistic?
586
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,415
Well, honestly,
587
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,902
it was kind of a deal I made.
588
00:30:20,927 --> 00:30:23,713
I wanted to be the greatest
comic book writer in the world.
589
00:30:23,756 --> 00:30:27,238
Bigger than Alan Moore
even, and it worked.
590
00:30:27,282 --> 00:30:30,328
But in exchange,
and I was kind of tricked,
591
00:30:30,372 --> 00:30:35,203
but I agreed to only write
stories of a certain type.
592
00:30:35,246 --> 00:30:36,639
Grim ones.
593
00:30:36,682 --> 00:30:38,510
Ones that would ultimately...
594
00:30:39,772 --> 00:30:41,209
darken the world.
595
00:30:41,252 --> 00:30:46,170
What kind of person would offer
you a deal like this?
596
00:30:46,866 --> 00:30:48,999
A guy named Mr. Cypher.
597
00:30:49,042 --> 00:30:51,974
He's the devil, right?
598
00:30:52,045 --> 00:30:53,177
Uh...
599
00:30:53,221 --> 00:30:54,570
Yeah, basically.
600
00:30:54,613 --> 00:30:56,876
Jughead, my friend
in the Sweet Hereafter
601
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,028
warned me about someone named...
602
00:31:00,053 --> 00:31:01,129
Cypher.
603
00:31:01,154 --> 00:31:03,499
Where is Cypher now?
604
00:31:03,535 --> 00:31:08,255
I think he has
a suite at the Babylonium.
605
00:31:08,714 --> 00:31:12,022
Yeah, no, he's playing
in a chess tournament tonight.
606
00:31:12,065 --> 00:31:15,286
It's been called the Ultimate
Battle of Good and Evil.
607
00:31:45,273 --> 00:31:48,044
Is that him? Is that Mr. Cypher?
608
00:31:48,232 --> 00:31:50,452
I believe so.
609
00:31:50,495 --> 00:31:52,323
And I know the man playing against him.
610
00:31:52,367 --> 00:31:53,672
That's my guardian angel.
611
00:31:53,716 --> 00:31:55,370
The personification of good
612
00:31:55,413 --> 00:31:57,459
versus the personification of evil.
613
00:31:57,502 --> 00:31:59,025
Well, I guess, depending on who wins...
614
00:31:59,069 --> 00:32:00,244
Check.
615
00:32:00,853 --> 00:32:02,028
And mate.
616
00:32:02,072 --> 00:32:04,379
And we have a winner!
617
00:32:04,422 --> 00:32:07,208
Mr. Cypher is the winner!
618
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:12,691
That is definitely not a good sign.
619
00:32:12,735 --> 00:32:14,490
Uh-uh.
620
00:32:16,826 --> 00:32:19,655
The Superteens being defeated
by Percy the Perverse,
621
00:32:19,698 --> 00:32:22,353
my guardian angel losing to Mr. Cypher.
622
00:32:22,397 --> 00:32:24,268
They're bad omens. I agree.
623
00:32:24,312 --> 00:32:27,445
Good is losing the battle
against evil over and over again.
624
00:32:27,489 --> 00:32:29,578
In the pages of a comic book,
in a chess game.
625
00:32:29,621 --> 00:32:32,276
But that doesn't mean the same
thing is going to happen to us.
626
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,712
Doesn't it?
627
00:32:33,756 --> 00:32:37,368
Events from Rivervale
are spilling into Riverdale.
628
00:32:37,412 --> 00:32:39,588
What's symbolic and fictional here
629
00:32:39,631 --> 00:32:42,112
is becoming literal and real back home.
630
00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:48,597
You again.
631
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,990
Look, we're not trying to fight you.
632
00:32:51,034 --> 00:32:55,343
We are just here to ask some
questions, and then we'll leave.
633
00:32:56,126 --> 00:32:57,258
Fine.
634
00:32:58,737 --> 00:33:00,783
Make it quick.
635
00:33:00,826 --> 00:33:04,482
Do you know someone
named Percival Pickens?
636
00:33:04,526 --> 00:33:07,311
And if so, are you in cahoots with him?
637
00:33:09,052 --> 00:33:12,273
Percival was one of Rivervale's
founding fathers.
638
00:33:13,361 --> 00:33:15,363
Sold his soul to me centuries ago.
639
00:33:15,406 --> 00:33:18,061
Well, he's wreaking havoc in Riverdale.
640
00:33:18,104 --> 00:33:20,106
Riverdale?
641
00:33:20,150 --> 00:33:22,239
Is that where he's got to?
642
00:33:22,283 --> 00:33:24,502
Well, I lost track of him a while back.
643
00:33:24,546 --> 00:33:28,289
He was wandering the country
becoming a great sorcerer.
644
00:33:28,332 --> 00:33:29,986
Slippery fellow, that one.
645
00:33:30,029 --> 00:33:32,293
Percival isn't the first person
who's tried to use the loophole
646
00:33:32,336 --> 00:33:36,688
of immortality to cheat his way
out of giving up his soul.
647
00:33:36,732 --> 00:33:39,169
Which always backfires, by the way.
648
00:33:40,997 --> 00:33:43,927
But he is the first
to hide in another dimension.
649
00:33:45,175 --> 00:33:46,738
Which is irritating.
650
00:33:46,763 --> 00:33:50,485
Sorry. I can't get more
directly involved.
651
00:33:50,528 --> 00:33:52,400
Those are the cosmic rules.
652
00:33:52,443 --> 00:33:54,489
I do wish you luck.
653
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:56,012
Though you're probably going to lose.
654
00:33:56,055 --> 00:33:58,449
Oh, you're wrong. We will
find a way to beat Percival.
655
00:33:58,493 --> 00:34:01,147
We already stymied
his attempt to destroy Pop's.
656
00:34:01,191 --> 00:34:04,499
We moved it, so that the
final battle can still happen.
657
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,588
Silly mortal.
658
00:34:06,631 --> 00:34:08,677
If only you knew the truth.
659
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:09,990
Wait, what truth?
660
00:34:10,809 --> 00:34:12,966
Or I can keep reading your mind.
661
00:34:13,508 --> 00:34:17,120
It's not the diner
that's important to Percival.
662
00:34:17,163 --> 00:34:18,687
It's the land.
663
00:34:19,644 --> 00:34:21,603
Why is that?
664
00:34:21,646 --> 00:34:24,374
That's where he was left to die by
those early settlers centuries ago.
665
00:34:24,399 --> 00:34:26,836
It's where I came upon him
when we made our deal.
666
00:34:28,349 --> 00:34:30,612
It is also, in all realities,
667
00:34:30,655 --> 00:34:31,830
Rivervale, Riverdale,
668
00:34:31,874 --> 00:34:34,485
the sight of a hellmouth.
669
00:34:34,529 --> 00:34:37,662
In the old days, churches used
to be built over hellmouths
670
00:34:37,706 --> 00:34:41,362
to contain the dark forces
roiling beneath.
671
00:34:41,927 --> 00:34:43,451
Stifle them.
672
00:34:43,886 --> 00:34:45,148
Cap them.
673
00:34:45,191 --> 00:34:48,064
And that was... Pop's.
674
00:34:48,107 --> 00:34:52,416
And it sounds like you've
played right into Percival's hands.
675
00:34:52,460 --> 00:34:55,419
And uncorked it
when you moved the diner.
676
00:34:55,463 --> 00:34:59,380
And like Bailey's Comet,
that's also adding to his power.
677
00:34:59,423 --> 00:35:02,295
Please don't let me keep you any longer.
678
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:03,857
Come on.
679
00:35:08,171 --> 00:35:10,695
Only a few more questions, Mr. Mayor.
680
00:35:10,739 --> 00:35:15,091
Once this epic battle
of good versus evil is over,
681
00:35:15,134 --> 00:35:19,269
assuming that you win, what
does your Riverdale look like?
682
00:35:19,312 --> 00:35:23,447
You know, when we were
coming over from the old country,
683
00:35:23,491 --> 00:35:27,103
the men and women aboard the
Pearlwere talking about hopes and dreams
684
00:35:27,146 --> 00:35:30,280
and a new beginning in a land
of freedom and opportunity,
685
00:35:30,323 --> 00:35:33,261
with workers' rights and equal rights
686
00:35:33,286 --> 00:35:35,459
and good, wholesome family values.
687
00:35:35,503 --> 00:35:39,289
Now, I kept quiet during these
discussions because I knew
688
00:35:39,332 --> 00:35:41,073
those things are lies.
689
00:35:41,117 --> 00:35:42,510
You see, given enough time,
690
00:35:42,553 --> 00:35:45,730
society always curdles, rots, corrupts.
691
00:35:45,774 --> 00:35:48,298
I want a land that I rule as I see fit.
692
00:35:48,341 --> 00:35:50,256
Where my enemies are at my mercy.
693
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:52,824
I want a land controlled
by the dark arts,
694
00:35:52,868 --> 00:35:56,393
free from the laws that stifle
the rest of this country.
695
00:35:56,437 --> 00:35:58,439
The Sovereign State of Percival.
696
00:35:58,482 --> 00:36:00,223
That's what I want Riverdale to be.
697
00:36:00,266 --> 00:36:04,357
A wild, untamed land where
I control it all, every last bit.
698
00:36:04,401 --> 00:36:06,411
Even the dead.
699
00:36:09,537 --> 00:36:11,626
I'm sorry... it just...
700
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:14,629
sounds so twisted, but...
701
00:36:15,978 --> 00:36:17,545
at least it's honest, eh?
702
00:36:17,588 --> 00:36:20,548
Speaking of which,
we have an execution to get to.
703
00:36:24,290 --> 00:36:26,684
Look! I told you they'd come back!
704
00:36:26,728 --> 00:36:29,252
You shouldn't have let them
out into the world in the first place.
705
00:36:29,295 --> 00:36:30,645
Ethel?
706
00:36:30,688 --> 00:36:31,950
You know about this, too?
707
00:36:31,994 --> 00:36:33,386
Yes.
708
00:36:33,430 --> 00:36:35,650
And thank goodness someone
with sense does.
709
00:36:35,693 --> 00:36:37,565
When Riverdale and Rivervale split,
710
00:36:37,608 --> 00:36:42,544
it was supposed to be a clean
break between the universes.
711
00:36:42,744 --> 00:36:45,398
But clearly, there's been a bleed.
712
00:36:45,442 --> 00:36:46,878
A lot of bleed.
713
00:36:46,922 --> 00:36:48,663
And how? Why?
714
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:52,580
There has to be something that's
fouled things up, that corrupted it.
715
00:36:52,623 --> 00:36:55,496
You were on the other side.
716
00:36:55,539 --> 00:36:57,933
Were you near the explosion
when it happened?
717
00:36:57,976 --> 00:36:59,282
Yeah, actually.
718
00:36:59,325 --> 00:37:01,240
I... Not as close as Betty and Archie.
719
00:37:01,284 --> 00:37:02,503
Did they say anything?
720
00:37:03,808 --> 00:37:05,941
About anything beyond the explosion?
721
00:37:05,984 --> 00:37:07,544
No, it was all...
722
00:37:09,945 --> 00:37:11,773
Actually, yeah. Betty...
723
00:37:11,816 --> 00:37:14,123
Betty said that
she received a phone call,
724
00:37:14,166 --> 00:37:16,386
like a warning
to get out of the bedroom.
725
00:37:16,549 --> 00:37:18,116
Hello?
726
00:37:18,141 --> 00:37:20,200
Get out of that house, Betty.
727
00:37:20,956 --> 00:37:22,479
Who is this?
728
00:37:22,523 --> 00:37:24,394
Listen to me. There's a
bomb underneath the bed.
729
00:37:24,437 --> 00:37:26,614
You need to go now. Right now!
730
00:37:28,441 --> 00:37:30,052
I knew it!
731
00:37:30,095 --> 00:37:31,662
Oh!
732
00:37:31,706 --> 00:37:34,273
I knew you called her!
733
00:37:34,317 --> 00:37:36,362
You warned her, didn't you?
734
00:37:36,406 --> 00:37:37,625
Damn it, Jughead!
735
00:37:37,668 --> 00:37:39,757
That's why there wasn't a clean break!
736
00:37:39,801 --> 00:37:41,759
You called your ex-girlfriend!
737
00:37:41,803 --> 00:37:43,718
That's why there are fissures!
738
00:37:43,761 --> 00:37:46,111
Rifts! Seepage between universes!
739
00:37:46,155 --> 00:37:47,809
That's why we have supernatural powers.
740
00:37:47,852 --> 00:37:49,767
And it's why Percival crossed
over from Rivervale.
741
00:37:49,811 --> 00:37:53,075
That phone call compromised everything.
742
00:37:53,118 --> 00:37:57,296
And now the parallel universes
are influencing each other again!
743
00:37:57,340 --> 00:38:00,691
God, you are so weak, Jughead.
744
00:38:00,735 --> 00:38:04,695
And even now, even still,
you love Betty, right?
745
00:38:04,739 --> 00:38:06,218
And that's why you called her.
746
00:38:06,262 --> 00:38:09,526
Even though it's over!
It's over, Jughead!
747
00:38:09,570 --> 00:38:11,851
I was trying to save her life!
748
00:38:11,876 --> 00:38:13,791
Her and Archie!
749
00:38:13,835 --> 00:38:14,923
Ethel, they're still my best friends!
750
00:38:14,966 --> 00:38:16,707
Even if they're in another universe.
751
00:38:16,751 --> 00:38:19,580
- We're just going to go.
- Yeah, you go, you go!
752
00:38:19,623 --> 00:38:20,972
And you.
753
00:38:21,016 --> 00:38:23,888
Now it's my job
to clean everybody's mess.
754
00:38:23,932 --> 00:38:27,457
Story of my life! I swear...
755
00:38:31,504 --> 00:38:33,332
- That was...
- Chilling.
756
00:38:33,376 --> 00:38:36,911
But we know a lot more than
we did before we went there.
757
00:38:37,728 --> 00:38:39,904
We should update everyone else.
758
00:38:41,819 --> 00:38:45,518
What about a spell, Cheryl,
or some incantation?
759
00:38:45,562 --> 00:38:47,695
Heather is looking through
all her grimoires right now,
760
00:38:47,738 --> 00:38:50,698
but so far she hasn't found anything
strong enough to touch Percival.
761
00:38:52,047 --> 00:38:53,788
We have intel. About Percival.
762
00:38:53,831 --> 00:38:55,311
We know where he comes from.
763
00:38:55,354 --> 00:38:56,573
We know how he got his powers.
764
00:38:56,617 --> 00:38:58,841
We know how we got our powers.
765
00:39:00,403 --> 00:39:01,926
What's going on here?
766
00:39:01,970 --> 00:39:04,494
What happened? What did we miss?
767
00:39:04,537 --> 00:39:08,977
Kevin, Reggie and Mr. Mantle are
being held hostage at the Babylonium.
768
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:11,632
They're going to be executed.
769
00:39:13,372 --> 00:39:14,765
I think I can help with that.
770
00:39:29,214 --> 00:39:30,520
Jughead, what the hell?
771
00:39:30,563 --> 00:39:31,695
I heard you guys were in trouble.
772
00:39:32,174 --> 00:39:33,654
Came to save you.
773
00:39:33,697 --> 00:39:35,779
Come on, let's go.
774
00:39:44,403 --> 00:39:46,623
Archie, the prisoners are out.
775
00:39:46,648 --> 00:39:49,771
We're in the clear. We are
good to blow the train tracks.
776
00:40:07,879 --> 00:40:10,143
I don't understand.
777
00:40:10,168 --> 00:40:13,450
This is impossible. Where did they go?
778
00:40:13,824 --> 00:40:15,696
Boss, we have another problem.
779
00:40:17,872 --> 00:40:19,787
Someone blew up the train tracks.
780
00:40:23,486 --> 00:40:25,923
My only regret is that
we didn't get to see his face
781
00:40:25,967 --> 00:40:28,796
when he opened the vault
and saw we weren't there.
782
00:40:28,839 --> 00:40:31,059
Damn. Saved by Donnie Darko.
783
00:40:31,102 --> 00:40:33,191
- Thanks, bro.
- Yeah, of course.
784
00:40:33,235 --> 00:40:36,673
The prisoners are freed, the tracks
for the ghost train are decimated.
785
00:40:36,717 --> 00:40:38,746
I mean, today was an excellent day.
786
00:40:38,771 --> 00:40:40,459
For sure, but those
were only skirmishes.
787
00:40:40,503 --> 00:40:41,983
The real war hasn't even started yet.
788
00:40:42,026 --> 00:40:45,160
And we still don't know what
that's even gonna look like.
789
00:40:45,203 --> 00:40:46,901
But thanks to you and Jug,
790
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:49,294
we know a lot more
than we did ten hours ago.
791
00:40:49,338 --> 00:40:52,301
And we have a better idea of what
to get done before Bailey's Comet...
792
00:40:56,519 --> 00:40:57,912
What's this?
793
00:40:57,955 --> 00:40:59,914
A group text. And it's not from moi?
794
00:41:02,830 --> 00:41:05,036
What are we looking at here?
795
00:41:07,312 --> 00:41:10,141
Those are the guillotines I saw
at the Babylonium.
796
00:41:10,185 --> 00:41:12,927
- Wait. But who are...
- That's my mom.
797
00:41:14,058 --> 00:41:16,857
- And Uncle Frank.
- And my dad.
798
00:41:20,935 --> 00:41:22,545
"Let it be known
that at midnight tonight,
799
00:41:22,588 --> 00:41:24,590
the political dissidents
Alice Cooper, Thomas Keller
800
00:41:24,634 --> 00:41:28,812
and Frank Andrews were executed
for their treasonous crimes
801
00:41:28,856 --> 00:41:30,988
against the township of Riverdale."
802
00:41:31,032 --> 00:41:33,425
No, no, no, no. He's... he's lying.
803
00:41:33,469 --> 00:41:35,819
That's It's a trick.
804
00:41:35,863 --> 00:41:37,995
It's a mind game.
Okay, that can't be real.
805
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:41,303
But it was. Archie was wrong.
806
00:41:41,346 --> 00:41:44,045
The war had, in fact, already started.
807
00:41:44,088 --> 00:41:46,787
And Percival had drawn first blood.
808
