Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,705
How can I help, Sheriff?
2
00:00:09,748 --> 00:00:12,360
We're trying to get ahold of
Rayberry's family, if he had one.
3
00:00:12,403 --> 00:00:14,840
Was there any next of
kin that you know of?
4
00:00:14,884 --> 00:00:16,233
Shucks. I don't...
5
00:00:18,148 --> 00:00:21,543
Actually, he might've had a wife.
6
00:00:21,586 --> 00:00:23,545
Do you know her name?
Or where she lived?
7
00:00:23,588 --> 00:00:26,113
No, no. He was pretty
tight-lipped about his marriage.
8
00:00:26,156 --> 00:00:29,072
He only mentioned it in passing.
9
00:00:29,116 --> 00:00:31,944
- Mm...
- But maybe he filled out some forms at Pep Comics.
10
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:33,772
I could check with them.
11
00:00:33,816 --> 00:00:36,906
Well, I'd appreciate it. And
let me know if anything turns up.
12
00:00:36,949 --> 00:00:39,365
It's important that
we put this sorry mess
13
00:00:39,366 --> 00:00:40,736
behind us as soon as possible.
14
00:00:43,391 --> 00:00:45,219
You're dreamin', Reg.
15
00:00:45,262 --> 00:00:48,570
Uncle Frank, will you tell Reggie
16
00:00:48,613 --> 00:00:51,790
that Marilyn Monroe is much
sexier than Elizabeth Taylor?
17
00:00:51,834 --> 00:00:55,229
That no one on the planet is
sexier than Marilyn Monroe.
18
00:00:56,621 --> 00:00:59,276
Sophia Loren. Brigitte
Bardot. Eartha Kitt.
19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,150
And yes, in my humble
opinion, Elizabeth Taylor.
20
00:01:04,281 --> 00:01:05,891
Told you so.
21
00:01:05,935 --> 00:01:07,589
What the frig?
22
00:01:07,632 --> 00:01:09,808
You guys are itchin' for a switchin'.
23
00:01:09,852 --> 00:01:12,942
I got a call from Principal
Featherhead last night, Archie.
24
00:01:12,985 --> 00:01:15,901
Tells me your grade point
average is back up. B-plus.
25
00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:17,251
Like we agreed.
26
00:01:17,294 --> 00:01:20,080
Yeah? So does that mean I get back...
27
00:01:22,386 --> 00:01:23,866
She's waiting for you in the garage.
28
00:01:31,395 --> 00:01:32,657
It's all right. I'll clean up.
29
00:01:34,746 --> 00:01:38,228
Wowza. That is the most
beautiful thing I've ever seen.
30
00:01:38,271 --> 00:01:39,751
I didn't know you had a hot rod.
31
00:01:40,926 --> 00:01:42,711
I didn't know you liked cars.
32
00:01:42,753 --> 00:01:45,148
I've always wanted one of my
own. Just could never afford it.
33
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:50,152
Well, neither could I.
34
00:01:50,197 --> 00:01:53,287
You shoulda seen this baby
when we found her at the dump.
35
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:55,637
She was a real junker.
36
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,161
My dad and I rebuilt her together.
37
00:01:58,205 --> 00:02:00,729
- Must have taken months.
- Try years.
38
00:02:00,772 --> 00:02:03,166
We finished it before
he went off to the war.
39
00:02:06,474 --> 00:02:08,650
Sounds like you and your
old man were real tight.
40
00:02:10,955 --> 00:02:12,828
We were best friends.
41
00:02:12,871 --> 00:02:14,786
Taught me everything I know about cars.
42
00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:15,918
And girls, I bet.
43
00:02:19,269 --> 00:02:20,444
Is this a straight six?
44
00:02:20,488 --> 00:02:23,969
V8 with headers. Louder and faster.
45
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:25,188
What's the transmission?
46
00:02:25,232 --> 00:02:27,234
- Three-speed automatic.
- Okay.
47
00:02:27,277 --> 00:02:28,670
Most important question.
48
00:02:30,193 --> 00:02:32,195
Can she lay rubber?
49
00:02:32,239 --> 00:02:35,155
Now that I got my grades up, why
don't we play hooky and I'll show you?
50
00:02:36,895 --> 00:02:39,680
Dead, huh?
51
00:02:39,724 --> 00:02:42,553
Ain't that a kick in the teeth.
52
00:02:42,597 --> 00:02:46,644
You writers. You all have
your secret demons, don't you?
53
00:02:46,688 --> 00:02:49,691
It's a shame. Talented guy.
54
00:02:50,996 --> 00:02:52,911
Say, you wouldn't
55
00:02:52,954 --> 00:02:55,697
happen to know anything about Mr.
Rayberry having a wife, would you?
56
00:02:55,740 --> 00:02:59,309
No. Just that he wanted
us to send half his salary
57
00:02:59,353 --> 00:03:01,355
to a small town in South Carolina.
58
00:03:03,008 --> 00:03:04,184
Maybe she lives down there.
59
00:03:04,227 --> 00:03:05,533
Do you have a name or an address?
60
00:03:05,576 --> 00:03:07,665
No, just a post office box.
61
00:03:07,709 --> 00:03:09,885
I'll have Bernie get it for you.
62
00:03:09,928 --> 00:03:11,016
Thank you, Mr. Fieldstone.
63
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:12,453
You bet.
64
00:03:12,496 --> 00:03:13,976
Dead.
65
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:18,391
The thing I love so much about
66
00:03:18,392 --> 00:03:20,112
what Ralph Ellison
did with Invisible Man
67
00:03:20,156 --> 00:03:23,246
is that he took the broad
idea of existentialism
68
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:26,728
and applied it specifically to
the Black American experience.
69
00:03:26,771 --> 00:03:28,904
Well, what struck me most
was the novel's style.
70
00:03:28,947 --> 00:03:32,560
It was almost like jazz.
Very improvisational.
71
00:03:32,603 --> 00:03:36,781
No shock there. Ellison was a jazz
drummer before he became a writer.
72
00:03:36,825 --> 00:03:38,914
Clearly it influenced his work.
73
00:03:38,957 --> 00:03:43,005
That said, some of his literary
criticisms rub me the wrong way.
74
00:03:43,048 --> 00:03:45,529
For instance, I love
Zora Neale Hurston's
75
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:47,183
Their Eyes Were Watching God,
76
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:50,404
but he called it a "blight
of calculated burlesque."
77
00:03:50,447 --> 00:03:51,970
I mean, I can't help
but think that's partly
78
00:03:52,014 --> 00:03:55,365
because it was written
about a woman and by a woman.
79
00:03:55,409 --> 00:03:56,758
See, I liked Hurston's book,
80
00:03:56,801 --> 00:03:59,326
but I do see Ellison's concern, though.
81
00:03:59,369 --> 00:04:03,417
She's writing us as caricatures
for a white audience.
82
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:05,506
Parts of Invisible
Man really spoke to me,
83
00:04:05,549 --> 00:04:08,160
but he was just so angry
and tortured all the time.
84
00:04:08,204 --> 00:04:11,251
Ellison's speaking to the
larger truth of our existence.
85
00:04:11,294 --> 00:04:13,078
It's not a book about day-to-day life.
86
00:04:13,122 --> 00:04:14,602
It's about what it feels like,
87
00:04:14,645 --> 00:04:16,733
in the scope of our human experience,
88
00:04:16,778 --> 00:04:18,910
to walk around in our skin.
89
00:04:25,787 --> 00:04:28,703
Well, I, for one, am really
digging this conversation.
90
00:04:28,746 --> 00:04:30,792
So, to touch on what Tabitha said,
91
00:04:30,835 --> 00:04:33,621
what were our thoughts on
Their Eyes Were Watching God?
92
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:11,311
Hey.
93
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:14,314
How's my baby and our baby?
94
00:05:14,357 --> 00:05:17,707
Better now that Riverdale's
heppest budding rock star is here.
95
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:26,500
I actually got some news.
96
00:05:28,153 --> 00:05:29,503
I booked a gig in Centerville.
97
00:05:30,895 --> 00:05:33,420
I'm not headlining. Ritchie Valens is.
98
00:05:33,463 --> 00:05:36,423
But I did find out that there's
going to be some music producers there
99
00:05:36,466 --> 00:05:38,773
that are gonna be scouting for talent.
100
00:05:39,687 --> 00:05:41,689
Fangs, that's fantabulous!
101
00:05:41,732 --> 00:05:43,778
Where and when, so I
can put it in my book?
102
00:05:43,821 --> 00:05:48,565
- Oh, actually, Midge, you can't come.
- Huh?
103
00:05:48,609 --> 00:05:50,045
The show's in the rough
part of Centerville.
104
00:05:50,088 --> 00:05:52,656
Heaven forbid something
bad were to happen.
105
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:55,224
- Like a rumble breaks out and you get hurt.
- Oh...
106
00:05:55,267 --> 00:05:57,661
Plus, what if your parents find
out that you're road tripping out
107
00:05:57,705 --> 00:06:01,230
to the boonies to see your deadbeat
boyfriend play rock 'n' roll?
108
00:06:01,273 --> 00:06:04,842
I gotta be a rich and famous
musician by the next time I see 'em,
109
00:06:04,886 --> 00:06:07,105
or they'll never jive
with us getting circled.
110
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:12,060
But they will, okay?
111
00:06:18,153 --> 00:06:19,153
Go get to class.
112
00:06:22,766 --> 00:06:24,594
Okay, so get this.
113
00:06:24,638 --> 00:06:27,597
According to Mr. Fieldstone, Mr.
Rayberry had half of his paycheck
114
00:06:27,641 --> 00:06:30,600
sent to a PO box in South Carolina.
115
00:06:30,644 --> 00:06:34,864
That's not something a man who's
planning to kill himself does.
116
00:06:34,909 --> 00:06:38,086
Exactly. Despite what Sheriff
Keller seems to believe.
117
00:06:38,129 --> 00:06:39,739
Honest to gosh, Tabitha,
118
00:06:39,783 --> 00:06:42,351
I'm half-tempted to just sneak
into Mr. Rayberry's apartment.
119
00:06:42,394 --> 00:06:44,527
Just to try and figure out
who that PO box belongs to.
120
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:49,445
His wife, hopefully, but also to
see if I can find some evidence.
121
00:06:49,489 --> 00:06:50,838
What kind of evidence?
122
00:06:50,881 --> 00:06:53,275
That he didn't kill himself.
123
00:06:53,318 --> 00:06:55,190
That he was the victim of foul play.
124
00:06:57,105 --> 00:07:01,283
Would you maybe want
some company for that?
125
00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:05,243
With all due respect to James Dean,
126
00:07:05,287 --> 00:07:10,422
what if you had to choose between,
say, Marlon Brando or Paul Newman?
127
00:07:10,466 --> 00:07:12,468
To marry? Paul Newman.
128
00:07:12,512 --> 00:07:14,163
But if we're talking about just spending
129
00:07:14,164 --> 00:07:16,211
one wild, reckless night together?
130
00:07:17,212 --> 00:07:18,561
Marlon Brando.
131
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:21,738
Betty Cooper, you naughty girl!
132
00:07:21,782 --> 00:07:23,784
By the way, I've been
meaning to ask you.
133
00:07:23,827 --> 00:07:25,220
Are you using a new cold cream?
134
00:07:25,263 --> 00:07:26,874
Because you're positively glowing.
135
00:07:26,917 --> 00:07:28,832
No. Just plain ol' soap and water.
136
00:07:28,876 --> 00:07:32,749
But my mom is making good on her
threat to stay out of my life,
137
00:07:32,793 --> 00:07:36,361
and, honestly, it's like
a weight's been lifted.
138
00:07:36,405 --> 00:07:37,885
Well, good for you.
139
00:07:37,928 --> 00:07:40,757
Look at us, a couple of
independent young women,
140
00:07:40,801 --> 00:07:46,023
unconstrained by the expectations
of society, our parents, and boys.
141
00:07:56,773 --> 00:07:59,471
Upon further reflection, Betty,
142
00:07:59,515 --> 00:08:01,430
why deal in hypotheticals
143
00:08:01,473 --> 00:08:05,086
when we have our very own Marlon
and Paul to play with here at school?
144
00:08:27,195 --> 00:08:28,239
Reginald?
145
00:08:28,283 --> 00:08:29,806
Oh. Hey.
146
00:08:29,850 --> 00:08:32,634
I wanted to offer you a mea culpa.
147
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,291
For not making our date after
things got busy at the Babylonium.
148
00:08:36,334 --> 00:08:39,468
So I was hoping you'd
give me another chance.
149
00:08:39,511 --> 00:08:41,383
- What's changed?
- Circumstances.
150
00:08:41,426 --> 00:08:43,646
To paraphrase my friend Lauren Bacall,
151
00:08:43,690 --> 00:08:46,127
a girl can't be all work and no play.
152
00:08:46,170 --> 00:08:48,651
Here's the skinny. I'm
not scared of the chase.
153
00:08:48,695 --> 00:08:52,655
But in my experience, some people
don't really want to be caught.
154
00:08:53,308 --> 00:08:54,308
Is that you?
155
00:08:55,484 --> 00:08:57,051
Only one way to find out.
156
00:09:02,883 --> 00:09:05,799
Andrews, uh, you doing anything tonight?
157
00:09:06,408 --> 00:09:07,844
Nah. No plans.
158
00:09:07,888 --> 00:09:09,150
Right on. In that case,
can I borrow your car?
159
00:09:09,193 --> 00:09:12,109
I've got a date with Veronica.
160
00:09:12,153 --> 00:09:14,372
I thought you were done
with her antics, Reg.
161
00:09:14,416 --> 00:09:16,548
- Eh.
- Geez, do you even have a driver's license?
162
00:09:16,592 --> 00:09:20,117
'Course. I drove my dad's truck to
the farmer's market every weekend.
163
00:09:20,814 --> 00:09:22,163
Don't gringle.
164
00:09:22,206 --> 00:09:25,209
I'll be real careful
with her, I promise.
165
00:09:25,253 --> 00:09:26,776
Ah, what the heck.
166
00:09:28,386 --> 00:09:30,650
Sure, why not?
167
00:09:30,693 --> 00:09:32,608
Like we learned in Spanish class...
168
00:09:32,652 --> 00:09:35,742
Mi casa es tu casa.
169
00:09:36,525 --> 00:09:37,525
No foolin'?
170
00:09:37,526 --> 00:09:38,570
I got nothing better to do.
171
00:09:38,614 --> 00:09:40,834
Just look after her, okay?
172
00:09:43,401 --> 00:09:46,448
Black Athena is everything
I hoped it would be, Cheryl.
173
00:09:46,491 --> 00:09:48,871
I finally feel like I'm doing something
174
00:09:48,872 --> 00:09:52,062
worthwhile and worthy, you know?
175
00:09:52,106 --> 00:09:53,585
Yeah.
176
00:09:53,629 --> 00:09:55,979
I happened to be walking
by your last meeting.
177
00:09:56,023 --> 00:09:58,634
It sounded tremendous.
178
00:09:58,678 --> 00:10:00,462
It was.
179
00:10:00,505 --> 00:10:02,551
Although Clay tends to
monopolize the whole conversation.
180
00:10:02,594 --> 00:10:06,163
It's very clear he has
the hots for James Baldwin.
181
00:10:06,947 --> 00:10:08,209
Who's that?
182
00:10:08,252 --> 00:10:11,038
He's this real hep writer from Harlem.
183
00:10:11,081 --> 00:10:13,040
One of my favorites.
184
00:10:13,083 --> 00:10:16,696
Anyway, what's your tale, nightingale?
185
00:10:17,958 --> 00:10:21,483
To be honest, I'm really missing you.
186
00:10:21,526 --> 00:10:25,052
Between me and the Vixens
and you and your new club,
187
00:10:26,357 --> 00:10:28,403
we barely get to see each other.
188
00:10:28,446 --> 00:10:31,145
And when we do, it's three feet apart.
189
00:10:35,453 --> 00:10:37,542
What do you say we
catch a flick tonight?
190
00:10:37,586 --> 00:10:41,808
I wish I could, but I really
need to finish reading Native Son.
191
00:10:41,851 --> 00:10:45,899
It's the next book that we're
gonna be discussing at Black Athena.
192
00:10:46,421 --> 00:10:47,422
Okay.
193
00:10:49,467 --> 00:10:53,950
Well, what if I came with
you to your next meeting?
194
00:10:53,994 --> 00:10:57,388
I wouldn't say anything, of course.
195
00:10:57,432 --> 00:10:59,347
I would just listen.
196
00:10:59,390 --> 00:11:03,525
Tell you what, it's the first few
days and we're just getting started.
197
00:11:03,568 --> 00:11:07,355
I just wanna make sure that
everybody feels comfortable.
198
00:11:07,398 --> 00:11:10,271
Maybe towards the end of the semester
199
00:11:10,314 --> 00:11:13,927
when Black Athena is more
established, all right?
200
00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:15,493
Whatever you think is best.
201
00:11:30,813 --> 00:11:33,381
Hi, Archie. How are you?
202
00:11:33,424 --> 00:11:37,472
Betty. I'm terrific.
203
00:11:37,515 --> 00:11:39,561
My uncle let me have my car back!
204
00:11:39,604 --> 00:11:41,824
I saw. The whole school did.
205
00:11:41,948 --> 00:11:44,907
Assuming that means your uncle
is finally easing up on you?
206
00:11:44,950 --> 00:11:49,085
He is. Yeah. I'm out of the doghouse.
207
00:11:49,129 --> 00:11:50,695
Well, in that case, I was wondering
208
00:11:50,739 --> 00:11:53,394
if it might finally be
time to go on our date?
209
00:11:53,437 --> 00:11:55,875
Wow. I'd love to go out with you, Betty.
210
00:11:55,918 --> 00:11:57,746
Swell!
211
00:11:57,789 --> 00:12:01,271
Do you want to pick me
up tonight at, say, 7:00?
212
00:12:02,011 --> 00:12:05,406
Oh, crap. I...
213
00:12:05,449 --> 00:12:10,106
I lent my car to Reggie, so he
could take Veronica out tonight.
214
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:12,195
That's okay. We can take the bus.
215
00:12:12,239 --> 00:12:13,239
Oh.
216
00:12:15,024 --> 00:12:16,547
The bus?
217
00:12:16,591 --> 00:12:17,766
Or walk?
218
00:12:17,809 --> 00:12:18,809
Walk?
219
00:12:22,423 --> 00:12:23,946
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
220
00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:25,905
Let's walk. That sounds romantic.
221
00:12:28,037 --> 00:12:29,082
Okay.
222
00:12:44,053 --> 00:12:46,447
Jughead, take a look at this.
223
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:52,583
Well, whoever is in the photo,
224
00:12:53,497 --> 00:12:55,891
this was taken in June 1948.
225
00:12:55,935 --> 00:12:59,025
No, I think the woman's name is June.
226
00:12:59,068 --> 00:13:01,114
And I think these are love letters
227
00:13:01,157 --> 00:13:05,118
written to Mr. Rayberry from
a woman named June Simpson.
228
00:13:05,161 --> 00:13:07,729
Writing to him from South Carolina.
229
00:13:07,772 --> 00:13:09,296
That's the same as the PO box.
230
00:13:10,340 --> 00:13:12,777
Wait. So this is...
231
00:13:12,821 --> 00:13:14,605
Brad Rayberry's wife.
232
00:13:15,737 --> 00:13:17,478
Secret or otherwise.
233
00:13:17,957 --> 00:13:18,958
Hold on.
234
00:13:21,482 --> 00:13:23,179
June Simpson. She's in here.
235
00:13:23,223 --> 00:13:24,441
With an address and a phone number.
236
00:13:24,485 --> 00:13:26,095
We have to call her, Jughead.
237
00:13:26,139 --> 00:13:27,749
And let her know what happened.
238
00:13:27,792 --> 00:13:29,490
She probably hasn't heard.
239
00:13:34,321 --> 00:13:35,322
Hello?
240
00:13:36,671 --> 00:13:39,152
Hi. Mrs. Simpson?
241
00:13:39,195 --> 00:13:40,457
Who's calling, please?
242
00:13:42,242 --> 00:13:45,810
Um, you don't know me.
My name is Jughead Jones.
243
00:13:45,854 --> 00:13:48,726
I'm terribly sorry to be the
bearer of bad news, ma'am.
244
00:13:50,859 --> 00:13:54,341
Brad Rayberry has passed away.
245
00:13:54,384 --> 00:13:56,996
Who... Who is this, exactly?
246
00:13:57,039 --> 00:14:00,129
Uh, I worked with Mr. Rayberry.
I'm one of his friends.
247
00:14:01,739 --> 00:14:03,698
How did Bradley die?
248
00:14:05,569 --> 00:14:06,569
We're not sure.
249
00:14:08,398 --> 00:14:10,879
He was found in his
apartment in Seaside.
250
00:14:10,922 --> 00:14:13,012
Did he suffer, do you know?
251
00:14:13,055 --> 00:14:14,274
I hope not.
252
00:14:15,971 --> 00:14:17,668
I'll come as quick as I can.
253
00:14:17,712 --> 00:14:19,888
This is the apartment
on Magnolia Street?
254
00:14:19,931 --> 00:14:22,760
Yes. Um, I can... I can
be there when you arrive.
255
00:14:22,804 --> 00:14:25,459
In the meantime, I'll just
be tidying up his things.
256
00:14:25,502 --> 00:14:27,809
Thank you. I appreciate that. Goodbye.
257
00:14:30,899 --> 00:14:33,380
Kevin, what happened? Are you okay?
258
00:14:33,423 --> 00:14:35,947
Oh, yeah, I'm just floating
on a cloud, to be honest.
259
00:14:35,991 --> 00:14:38,820
And what, pray tell, brought
on this state of bliss?
260
00:14:38,863 --> 00:14:42,911
I just heard Clay perform his
latest poem, "Ode to Sidney."
261
00:14:42,954 --> 00:14:45,783
He's like a magician,
but with his words.
262
00:14:45,827 --> 00:14:47,611
He is, indeed.
263
00:14:47,655 --> 00:14:51,050
And where did this performance
take place, if I may ask?
264
00:14:51,093 --> 00:14:53,400
At a meeting of Black Athena.
265
00:14:53,443 --> 00:14:55,924
You went? You were allowed to go?
266
00:14:55,967 --> 00:14:59,145
Mm-hmm. Yeah, Clay invited me.
267
00:15:07,979 --> 00:15:11,548
I mean, it's freedom,
Archie, plain and simple.
268
00:15:11,592 --> 00:15:15,157
The freedom of not feeling
my mother's breath on my neck,
269
00:15:15,158 --> 00:15:16,597
watching my every move.
270
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,861
It's like my life is suddenly
this open road before me,
271
00:15:19,904 --> 00:15:21,776
and I've got both hands on the wheel.
272
00:15:21,819 --> 00:15:24,779
Wheel? What wheel? Who's got the wheel?
273
00:15:26,607 --> 00:15:27,607
Me.
274
00:15:30,132 --> 00:15:32,178
Oh. Right.
275
00:15:35,703 --> 00:15:37,183
Is everything okay?
276
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:40,360
I'm peachy. Yeah. I'm just...
277
00:15:47,497 --> 00:15:48,803
Archie, if you want
to call it a night...
278
00:15:48,846 --> 00:15:52,981
No, I don't. I don't. Not at all.
279
00:15:53,024 --> 00:15:56,115
But I'm just wondering where Reggie
and Veronica are on their date.
280
00:15:56,158 --> 00:16:00,162
I mean, where else is there to
go in Riverdale other than Pop's?
281
00:16:08,257 --> 00:16:10,651
So, I heard through the grapevine
282
00:16:10,694 --> 00:16:12,609
that Kevin attended a
Black Athena meeting.
283
00:16:12,653 --> 00:16:15,917
Yeah. Well, Clay was presenting a poem
284
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,572
and he wanted to have
his boyfriend there.
285
00:16:19,007 --> 00:16:20,443
Mm.
286
00:16:20,487 --> 00:16:23,316
Yeah, Kevin says it was
an amazing experience.
287
00:16:24,186 --> 00:16:26,667
Life-changing, even.
288
00:16:26,710 --> 00:16:29,496
Okay, Cheryl, if you really wanna come.
289
00:16:29,539 --> 00:16:32,542
I do. I would love to.
290
00:16:32,586 --> 00:16:36,981
Okay. Well, we're gonna be
discussing Native Son, as I mentioned.
291
00:16:37,025 --> 00:16:40,594
So, you can borrow my
copy, I finished it.
292
00:16:43,945 --> 00:16:44,945
Thank you.
293
00:16:45,686 --> 00:16:48,341
I do not take this lightly.
294
00:16:50,038 --> 00:16:51,170
I can't wait.
295
00:17:01,397 --> 00:17:02,920
You had me worried sick.
296
00:17:08,926 --> 00:17:10,884
Do you have any idea what time it is?
297
00:17:12,669 --> 00:17:15,411
I thought you'd got into a wreck.
298
00:17:15,455 --> 00:17:18,632
I kept imagining you
in a ditch somewhere,
299
00:17:18,675 --> 00:17:20,024
all mangled and bleeding.
300
00:17:20,067 --> 00:17:21,678
Archie, cool your jets.
301
00:17:21,721 --> 00:17:23,593
Where did you and
Veronica even go tonight?
302
00:17:23,637 --> 00:17:25,855
Look, after I dropped her off, I
didn't wanna come straight home,
303
00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:27,815
so I hit the freeway.
304
00:17:27,858 --> 00:17:29,904
- You did what?
- I hit the freeway.
305
00:17:29,947 --> 00:17:32,036
I wanted to open her up a little.
306
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,909
- See what she can do.
- You... You took my car?
307
00:17:36,302 --> 00:17:38,086
Out onto the highway?
308
00:17:38,129 --> 00:17:41,785
Reggie, that car is my favorite
thing in the entire world.
309
00:17:41,829 --> 00:17:43,831
Anything could've happened out there.
310
00:17:45,093 --> 00:17:47,704
- Am I grounded?
- No.
311
00:17:47,748 --> 00:17:51,578
But I sure hope you dug
your little joyride, Mantle,
312
00:17:51,621 --> 00:17:53,884
because that is your
last time in my car.
313
00:17:55,973 --> 00:17:56,973
Keys?
314
00:18:08,725 --> 00:18:11,293
I heard you two fellas
going at it last night.
315
00:18:14,905 --> 00:18:17,952
What kind of guy does
that to a supposed friend?
316
00:18:17,995 --> 00:18:22,783
I built that car, spark-plug by
spark-plug, with my dad, Uncle Frank.
317
00:18:26,265 --> 00:18:29,398
Listen, your pops and I,
318
00:18:30,791 --> 00:18:32,445
we shared a car growing up
319
00:18:32,488 --> 00:18:34,751
and we fought more
about that damn jalopy
320
00:18:34,795 --> 00:18:37,276
than Cain and Abel did about sheep.
321
00:18:38,407 --> 00:18:40,235
But come on, Archie.
322
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:42,629
The kid's far from home.
323
00:18:42,672 --> 00:18:44,935
He's far from his family,
everything he knows.
324
00:18:44,979 --> 00:18:46,850
He grew up scraping by.
325
00:18:46,894 --> 00:18:49,723
Working his ass off for things
that guys like us take for granted.
326
00:18:51,681 --> 00:18:52,987
Can't you give him a break?
327
00:18:59,689 --> 00:19:02,605
Well, how was the date? Worth the wait?
328
00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:06,435
It was not stellar.
329
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:10,134
Archie was distracted the whole time.
330
00:19:10,178 --> 00:19:12,615
How was it with you and Reggie?
331
00:19:12,659 --> 00:19:15,966
Mixed. Usually, boys want
to go parking with me,
332
00:19:16,010 --> 00:19:18,752
not cruising around town.
333
00:19:18,795 --> 00:19:22,756
But, straight from the fridge,
he too seemed preoccupied.
334
00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:26,325
Kept glancing at his watch
like he had somewhere to go.
335
00:19:28,892 --> 00:19:32,331
Maybe we should switch
dance partners and try again?
336
00:19:32,374 --> 00:19:34,420
Or maybe we try a double date?
337
00:19:34,463 --> 00:19:37,814
I know just the event.
338
00:19:37,858 --> 00:19:39,903
Have you heard about this
big concert in Centerville?
339
00:19:39,947 --> 00:19:41,209
Mm-mm.
340
00:19:41,252 --> 00:19:43,385
All the hipsters and
hep cats will be there.
341
00:19:43,429 --> 00:19:46,301
What say we give our beaus
a chance to redeem themselves
342
00:19:46,345 --> 00:19:49,870
for being such unlicked cubs?
343
00:19:49,913 --> 00:19:53,395
Their words are so beautiful, Jughead.
344
00:19:53,439 --> 00:19:55,397
Describing how their love endured
345
00:19:55,441 --> 00:19:57,225
despite everything they went through.
346
00:19:57,268 --> 00:19:58,727
What happened to them?
347
00:19:58,870 --> 00:20:01,403
Well, from what I could piece
together, they got married in New York
348
00:20:01,447 --> 00:20:04,493
and then they moved to June's hometown
349
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:06,539
in South Carolina to start a family.
350
00:20:06,582 --> 00:20:09,150
But there was an incident.
351
00:20:09,193 --> 00:20:11,282
Their lives were threatened.
352
00:20:11,326 --> 00:20:13,284
Oh, geez.
353
00:20:13,328 --> 00:20:17,419
White thugs threw a brick
through their window.
354
00:20:18,594 --> 00:20:20,683
Burned a cross in their yard.
355
00:20:20,727 --> 00:20:23,599
They went to the police, who
threatened to arrest them.
356
00:20:23,643 --> 00:20:26,080
Not the thugs. Them.
357
00:20:28,430 --> 00:20:30,345
That's horrible.
358
00:20:30,389 --> 00:20:33,696
I saw things like that every single
day I was on tour with Mrs. Till.
359
00:20:35,132 --> 00:20:38,484
In any case, the
Rayberrys were terrified.
360
00:20:38,527 --> 00:20:41,922
Not just for themselves, but
for the safety of June's family.
361
00:20:41,965 --> 00:20:44,141
That's why Mr. Rayberry left.
362
00:20:44,185 --> 00:20:46,013
And settled in Seaside, yes.
363
00:20:46,056 --> 00:20:48,581
I think the plan was that they
were gonna save up enough money
364
00:20:48,624 --> 00:20:50,931
to get June's family somewhere safe.
365
00:20:50,974 --> 00:20:53,890
And then they were gonna
go live in Paris as expats.
366
00:20:55,022 --> 00:20:58,112
But if they had such a clear plan,
367
00:20:58,155 --> 00:21:00,157
why would Mr. Rayberry
take his own life?
368
00:21:00,201 --> 00:21:05,119
Unless, as you keep saying, he didn't.
369
00:21:11,473 --> 00:21:12,996
Reg, wait up.
370
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,868
What, did you find a dent
in your fender or something?
371
00:21:14,911 --> 00:21:16,609
Look, I'm sorry about last night.
372
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:18,785
I lost my cool.
373
00:21:21,004 --> 00:21:24,312
In that case, I'm sorry
for miscounting the trumps.
374
00:21:24,355 --> 00:21:28,229
What can I say? I'm
car-crazy. It's a disease.
375
00:21:28,272 --> 00:21:29,272
Oh, fellas.
376
00:21:32,407 --> 00:21:34,844
Better clear your dance cards.
377
00:21:34,888 --> 00:21:38,457
Fangs is playing a concert in
Centerville and we wanna go,
378
00:21:38,500 --> 00:21:40,459
so you're taking us on a double-date.
379
00:21:40,502 --> 00:21:42,373
First to dinner, then to the show.
380
00:21:42,417 --> 00:21:43,505
Any questions?
381
00:21:45,464 --> 00:21:49,163
For some of you, this was perhaps
your first time reading Wright's
382
00:21:49,206 --> 00:21:51,644
harrowing and thought-provoking novel.
383
00:21:51,687 --> 00:21:53,907
Of course, it was my third.
384
00:21:53,950 --> 00:21:56,431
Now, I obviously have a lot of thoughts,
385
00:21:56,475 --> 00:21:57,954
but I wanna hear from
all of y'all first.
386
00:21:59,739 --> 00:22:02,655
The book asks, "Where
does responsibility lie?"
387
00:22:02,698 --> 00:22:04,408
While Bigger does kill Mary,
388
00:22:04,409 --> 00:22:07,181
the young white daughter
of the rich Dalton family,
389
00:22:07,224 --> 00:22:11,838
the story, in my mind, remains
a cautionary tale about, well...
390
00:22:11,881 --> 00:22:13,317
The dangers of white ignorance.
391
00:22:13,361 --> 00:22:16,843
Exactly. Wright doesn't
give us any easy answers.
392
00:22:16,886 --> 00:22:19,236
That's what's so great about it, though.
393
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,153
He looks at society as a whole and
how it works to keep us oppressed.
394
00:22:23,197 --> 00:22:25,199
Bigger commits murder,
395
00:22:25,242 --> 00:22:28,071
but his true crime is
stepping outside the box
396
00:22:28,115 --> 00:22:29,899
that white society built around him.
397
00:22:29,943 --> 00:22:32,554
I'll say it. I thought
Bigger was a stereotype.
398
00:22:32,598 --> 00:22:35,122
Wright doesn't give him enough
agency to break the mold.
399
00:22:35,165 --> 00:22:36,732
James Baldwin would agree with you.
400
00:22:36,776 --> 00:22:38,952
And all roads lead to
Baldwin, right, Clay?
401
00:22:41,041 --> 00:22:42,738
They do, Kev.
402
00:22:42,782 --> 00:22:45,567
Cheryl, do you have anything to add?
403
00:22:46,350 --> 00:22:48,004
Oh, no.
404
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,054
Um...
405
00:22:54,097 --> 00:22:59,276
Only that this was the most
powerful novel I've ever read.
406
00:23:01,757 --> 00:23:04,847
And that the family in
the book, the Daltons,
407
00:23:06,936 --> 00:23:08,938
reminded me a lot of my own family
408
00:23:10,679 --> 00:23:12,115
in some unpleasant ways.
409
00:23:13,769 --> 00:23:15,902
But I'm very glad to have read it,
410
00:23:15,945 --> 00:23:19,296
and to be learning more about it.
411
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:22,256
Just out of curiosity, is
Native Sonthe only novel
412
00:23:22,299 --> 00:23:24,258
by a Black author that you've ever read?
413
00:23:26,608 --> 00:23:27,653
Yes.
414
00:23:28,610 --> 00:23:30,264
But I can't wait to read more.
415
00:23:30,307 --> 00:23:32,092
You won't be shocked to hear, Cheryl,
416
00:23:32,135 --> 00:23:34,790
that I maintain an ever-evolving
syllabus of Black authors
417
00:23:34,834 --> 00:23:39,099
I believe everyone, regardless of
who they are or where they're from,
418
00:23:39,142 --> 00:23:40,753
should be reading.
419
00:23:40,796 --> 00:23:44,017
I gave it to Kevin. I'd be
jazzed to share it with you.
420
00:23:44,060 --> 00:23:45,409
Thank you, Clay.
421
00:23:45,453 --> 00:23:46,453
Of course.
422
00:23:50,719 --> 00:23:55,855
Now. Moving on to Baldwin's essay.
423
00:23:55,898 --> 00:23:57,683
Let me get this straight.
424
00:23:57,726 --> 00:24:02,252
In your expert opinion, Brad
Rayberry didn't kill himself?
425
00:24:02,296 --> 00:24:03,296
No.
426
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:07,214
Well, what happened to him, then?
427
00:24:08,737 --> 00:24:10,609
Well, to put a fine point on it,
428
00:24:10,652 --> 00:24:12,045
disguising murder as suicide
429
00:24:12,088 --> 00:24:14,221
has been a gimmick in detective fiction
430
00:24:14,264 --> 00:24:16,571
since the days of Arthur Conan Doyle.
431
00:24:16,615 --> 00:24:18,268
Let me ask you this.
432
00:24:18,312 --> 00:24:22,708
How well did you really know
your so-called hero, Jughead?
433
00:24:22,751 --> 00:24:25,014
Well enough to know that he
wouldn't take his own life.
434
00:24:25,058 --> 00:24:27,103
Uh-huh.
435
00:24:27,147 --> 00:24:29,066
Did you also know that he
was a card-carrying member
436
00:24:29,067 --> 00:24:30,411
of the Communist Party?
437
00:24:32,848 --> 00:24:35,808
How about the fact that
he was a draft dodger
438
00:24:35,851 --> 00:24:38,680
who protested the Korean War?
439
00:24:38,724 --> 00:24:41,161
That he was a dope fiend.
440
00:24:41,204 --> 00:24:43,511
He spent a month as a mental patient
441
00:24:43,554 --> 00:24:45,644
at St. Vincent's in New York City.
442
00:24:53,086 --> 00:24:56,089
This... This is impossible.
443
00:24:56,132 --> 00:24:59,353
Now, I'm no head-shrinker,
but if you ask me,
444
00:24:59,396 --> 00:25:04,227
someone who's got that many secrets?
445
00:25:04,271 --> 00:25:08,014
Well, it's a miracle he didn't
take his own life sooner.
446
00:25:21,897 --> 00:25:25,248
I'm curious to hear how you
thought the meeting went.
447
00:25:25,292 --> 00:25:28,425
Better than I thought
it would, actually.
448
00:25:28,469 --> 00:25:30,384
I'm relieved.
449
00:25:30,427 --> 00:25:34,170
I was worried people would
feel uncomfortable around you.
450
00:25:34,214 --> 00:25:37,739
Or that you would feel
uncomfortable around my friends.
451
00:25:40,394 --> 00:25:43,266
They were, and I was.
452
00:25:43,310 --> 00:25:46,095
Not so much uncomfortable
as I was worried
453
00:25:46,139 --> 00:25:48,794
that I wasn't going to say
the right thing at first.
454
00:25:48,837 --> 00:25:50,056
But then...
455
00:25:50,099 --> 00:25:52,885
But then, everyone settled in nicely.
456
00:25:52,928 --> 00:25:55,365
It was really nice to have you here.
457
00:25:55,409 --> 00:25:56,409
It was.
458
00:25:58,368 --> 00:26:01,502
But I think you were right to
be so protective of Black Athena.
459
00:26:01,545 --> 00:26:04,070
It's your club, your space.
460
00:26:04,113 --> 00:26:06,637
I am so grateful that
I got to experience it,
461
00:26:06,681 --> 00:26:09,902
and that I got to see first-hand
what you're so passionate about.
462
00:26:09,945 --> 00:26:15,945
But I think in the future I will
just attend the more public events.
463
00:26:16,517 --> 00:26:20,826
Well, we are hosting an open mic
night at the Dark Room next month.
464
00:26:20,869 --> 00:26:22,523
I will be there front row.
465
00:26:22,566 --> 00:26:26,179
And maybe you can read some
more books off Clay's list.
466
00:26:26,222 --> 00:26:27,658
Absolutely.
467
00:26:27,702 --> 00:26:32,838
And maybe afterward we
could discuss them together?
468
00:26:32,881 --> 00:26:35,188
Well, I can dig that plan.
469
00:26:41,803 --> 00:26:45,502
Also, what are you doing tonight?
470
00:26:45,546 --> 00:26:48,767
Midge mentioned that there
was a concert in Centerville.
471
00:26:49,550 --> 00:26:50,769
Would you wanna go?
472
00:26:53,336 --> 00:26:56,905
I am certain I could
make myself available.
473
00:27:05,348 --> 00:27:08,743
This is the last letter
I received from Bradley.
474
00:27:08,787 --> 00:27:12,007
Given the date, he must have
mailed it right before...
475
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,400
his passing.
476
00:27:17,273 --> 00:27:21,451
In it, he wrote about finally
wanting to have his novel published.
477
00:27:22,365 --> 00:27:24,498
He did? Really?
478
00:27:27,501 --> 00:27:30,765
"If a publisher takes it, we'll
at last have the money we need
479
00:27:30,809 --> 00:27:35,074
to buy your parents a place
in the city and move to Paris.
480
00:27:35,117 --> 00:27:36,771
After everything we've been through,
481
00:27:36,815 --> 00:27:40,296
I'm filled with such
optimism about our future."
482
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:44,648
Now, I'm not a detective
like Miss Marple,
483
00:27:44,692 --> 00:27:47,651
but that doesn't sound like a
man planning to take his life.
484
00:27:47,695 --> 00:27:50,089
No. It sure doesn't.
485
00:27:50,132 --> 00:27:53,832
Mrs. Simpson, Sheriff Keller told
me some things about your husband.
486
00:27:55,398 --> 00:27:59,011
That he was a war
protester and a communist.
487
00:28:00,316 --> 00:28:03,580
And that he'd been to an asylum.
488
00:28:05,234 --> 00:28:06,234
Mm-hmm.
489
00:28:07,497 --> 00:28:09,369
And that's true.
490
00:28:09,412 --> 00:28:12,633
But did he also tell you that
Bradley served in World War II?
491
00:28:12,676 --> 00:28:17,594
And that he became addicted to
opium because of a war injury?
492
00:28:17,638 --> 00:28:22,512
And that he checked himself
into St. Vincent's voluntarily?
493
00:28:22,556 --> 00:28:26,255
And yes, he attended a
couple of communist meetings
494
00:28:26,299 --> 00:28:30,781
when he was young and
curious and suffering
495
00:28:30,825 --> 00:28:32,740
during the Great Depression.
496
00:28:32,783 --> 00:28:34,524
That makes sense.
497
00:28:34,568 --> 00:28:35,917
I'll tell you this.
498
00:28:35,961 --> 00:28:38,180
My husband was an optimist.
499
00:28:38,224 --> 00:28:40,748
Despite everything life threw at him.
500
00:28:40,791 --> 00:28:44,273
Even when he was working as a
janitor at the maple factory,
501
00:28:44,317 --> 00:28:46,406
stuck on the graveyard shift,
502
00:28:46,449 --> 00:28:48,364
he never lost his sense of humor.
503
00:28:48,408 --> 00:28:53,282
He always believed something
better was around the corner.
504
00:28:55,067 --> 00:28:57,069
If Mr. Rayberry didn't
take his own life,
505
00:28:57,112 --> 00:28:59,201
means that someone else is responsible.
506
00:29:00,986 --> 00:29:02,335
Do you have any idea who?
507
00:29:02,944 --> 00:29:04,250
Or why?
508
00:29:04,293 --> 00:29:06,426
The world can be a brutal place.
509
00:29:06,469 --> 00:29:10,517
God knows who Bradley
might have angered or upset.
510
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,956
I've seen a lot of people
do horrific things in my day.
511
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,702
If you want to look into Brad's
death, young man, I won't stop you.
512
00:29:25,575 --> 00:29:28,535
Take a gander. You won't believe
the bitchin' rigs on this one.
513
00:29:28,578 --> 00:29:31,190
Serves us right for
stopping at the newsstand.
514
00:29:31,233 --> 00:29:32,713
Classy chassis.
515
00:29:32,756 --> 00:29:35,107
Check out the flip-top box on page 13.
516
00:29:37,457 --> 00:29:39,589
Whoa. Fat city.
517
00:29:39,633 --> 00:29:42,445
You know, Steve McQueen used
to drive us around Hollywood
518
00:29:42,446 --> 00:29:43,985
in his '53 Hudson Hornet.
519
00:29:44,029 --> 00:29:47,380
And believe me, you've never heard
anything purr quite like that.
520
00:29:47,423 --> 00:29:50,296
I've fixed up more than
a few V8s in my day.
521
00:29:50,339 --> 00:29:53,516
My dad says I've never met
an engine I couldn't repair.
522
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,084
Damn! The plating on these rims...
523
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:57,520
Cherry.
524
00:29:57,564 --> 00:29:59,696
I'd agitate the gravel
with those chromes.
525
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:02,134
Boys! Aren't we going to be late?
526
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:05,876
For the show? We're still
going to the show, I hope?
527
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,618
If we don't leave now, we'll never
make it to Centerville on time.
528
00:30:08,662 --> 00:30:10,664
Yeah, you're right. We should boogie.
529
00:30:13,972 --> 00:30:15,712
What are you doing?
530
00:30:15,756 --> 00:30:17,497
Oh, I just thought, since we're
late, it'd be better if I...
531
00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:20,108
Well, you drove on the way here.
532
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:21,892
It's my car, I'll drive.
533
00:30:21,936 --> 00:30:23,459
Okay, yeah, just make sure
you don't flood the engine
534
00:30:23,503 --> 00:30:24,634
when you start 'er
up, 'cause sometimes...
535
00:30:24,678 --> 00:30:25,678
I got it, Reg.
536
00:30:32,729 --> 00:30:35,689
So what's next for you, Mrs. Simpson?
537
00:30:35,732 --> 00:30:40,041
I'm going to bury my
husband where we first met.
538
00:30:40,085 --> 00:30:44,306
And then I suppose I'm going to see
about getting his novel published.
539
00:30:44,350 --> 00:30:46,613
Let us know if we can help in any way.
540
00:30:46,656 --> 00:30:48,223
I will, dear.
541
00:30:48,267 --> 00:30:50,617
You know, Bradley
always loved comic books.
542
00:30:50,660 --> 00:30:52,445
Since I knew him.
543
00:30:52,488 --> 00:30:54,063
I'm sure he'd be happy for you
to continue adapting his stories.
544
00:30:54,099 --> 00:30:56,710
I'd be honored.
545
00:30:56,753 --> 00:30:58,929
And I'll talk to Mr. Fieldstone
about doing a tribute issue.
546
00:30:58,973 --> 00:31:01,193
With all the proceeds going to
you and your family, of course.
547
00:31:01,236 --> 00:31:03,021
That would be much appreciated.
548
00:31:06,198 --> 00:31:09,070
Tell me, are you two going steady?
549
00:31:10,158 --> 00:31:11,594
- Who? Us?
- Oh, no. No.
550
00:31:11,638 --> 00:31:14,597
- I mean...
- We're classmates.
551
00:31:14,641 --> 00:31:18,862
- And friends, I would say.
- Good friends.
552
00:31:18,906 --> 00:31:21,082
- Yeah.
- Pals.
553
00:31:21,126 --> 00:31:25,173
Well, you two take care of
each other. That's important.
554
00:31:52,374 --> 00:31:54,072
Arch, do you need a hand?
555
00:32:01,296 --> 00:32:03,298
Unfortunately, Betty,
556
00:32:03,342 --> 00:32:06,606
it seems as though someone goofed it
and forgot to fill up the gas tank.
557
00:32:06,649 --> 00:32:09,250
Okay. So the problem
is we need to get gas
558
00:32:09,251 --> 00:32:11,480
and we need to beat feet, fast.
559
00:32:11,524 --> 00:32:14,092
Well, considering the
fact that I'm in stilettos
560
00:32:14,135 --> 00:32:16,572
and Pop's is five miles back that way,
561
00:32:16,616 --> 00:32:19,314
might I suggest you two
cool it and start walking
562
00:32:19,358 --> 00:32:21,882
while we stay here
and huddle for warmth?
563
00:32:51,346 --> 00:32:52,869
- Hey.
- Hey.
564
00:32:52,913 --> 00:32:54,480
- Hey!
- Hey! Hey!
565
00:33:00,442 --> 00:33:02,140
So I've been thinking...
566
00:33:02,183 --> 00:33:03,967
Why don't you see if Clifford
Blossom can get you a car?
567
00:33:04,011 --> 00:33:05,708
Get bent.
568
00:33:05,752 --> 00:33:08,276
Why not? Clifford Blossom will
do anything to keep you happy.
569
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,930
Star players get perks all the time.
570
00:33:09,973 --> 00:33:11,845
No way. I don't want to be any deeper
571
00:33:11,888 --> 00:33:14,152
in that creep's pocket
than I already am.
572
00:33:14,195 --> 00:33:15,982
It's bad enough he's paying someone
573
00:33:15,983 --> 00:33:18,286
to work on my dad's farm in my place.
574
00:33:18,330 --> 00:33:20,375
Is that how you see me?
575
00:33:20,419 --> 00:33:22,551
As a germ who's looking for handouts?
576
00:33:22,595 --> 00:33:25,554
Ah, jeez, you don't have
to be so touchy about it.
577
00:33:25,598 --> 00:33:28,557
What's the matter, Andrews?
Am I too uppity for you?
578
00:33:28,601 --> 00:33:31,386
Hmm? Borrowing your car
instead of waxing it?
579
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:33,649
Eating off of your
mom's nice dinner plates?
580
00:33:33,693 --> 00:33:35,782
You're ringing up the
wrong area code, Reg.
581
00:33:35,825 --> 00:33:36,825
Then what?
582
00:33:38,219 --> 00:33:39,786
Am I forgetting my place?
583
00:33:39,829 --> 00:33:42,702
You better knock that giant
chip off your shoulder.
584
00:33:42,745 --> 00:33:45,835
Oh, yeah? Or maybe I oughta
knock the one off yours.
585
00:33:57,847 --> 00:33:59,806
Wait. Wait.
586
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,120
Submit.
587
00:34:12,078 --> 00:34:13,078
Submit.
588
00:34:20,261 --> 00:34:21,261
Hello.
589
00:34:23,524 --> 00:34:24,613
Cheryl?
590
00:34:24,656 --> 00:34:27,312
And Toni Topaz and Midge Klump.
591
00:34:27,355 --> 00:34:29,879
Are you ladies having car trouble?
592
00:34:29,923 --> 00:34:34,493
We were on our way to see Fangs
perform, but we ran out of gas.
593
00:34:34,536 --> 00:34:36,538
Right on! That's where we're going.
594
00:34:38,018 --> 00:34:40,455
Well, hop on in. The more, the merrier.
595
00:34:40,499 --> 00:34:42,848
It'll be a blast and a half.
596
00:34:42,892 --> 00:34:44,546
What about the boys?
597
00:34:44,589 --> 00:34:47,419
With all due respect to those wet rags,
598
00:34:47,462 --> 00:34:49,334
who cares about the boys?
599
00:34:49,377 --> 00:34:51,118
What an incredible lady.
600
00:34:51,161 --> 00:34:52,728
Really makes you think.
601
00:34:52,772 --> 00:34:55,818
Yes. About a lot of things.
602
00:34:56,297 --> 00:34:57,820
Like?
603
00:34:57,864 --> 00:35:01,781
Like that I should go back
on the road with my folks.
604
00:35:01,824 --> 00:35:05,045
As hard as the tour was... Is.
605
00:35:05,088 --> 00:35:07,526
Yeah, I was wondering.
606
00:35:07,569 --> 00:35:09,615
I was planning to take some time off.
607
00:35:09,658 --> 00:35:11,834
To rest. Reevaluate.
608
00:35:11,878 --> 00:35:17,878
But meeting June, reading
her letters to Mr. Rayberry.
609
00:35:18,276 --> 00:35:22,323
Not that I needed a
reminder, but it was one.
610
00:35:25,544 --> 00:35:28,982
You're fighting for people to
be free and live their lives.
611
00:35:29,025 --> 00:35:31,985
And to love who they wanna love.
612
00:35:33,987 --> 00:35:37,860
There's nothing more
meaningful than that.
613
00:35:37,904 --> 00:35:41,690
Well, maybe this time you'll
actually send me my homework?
614
00:35:41,734 --> 00:35:44,476
Yeah. Yes, yes, I will.
615
00:35:44,519 --> 00:35:46,391
Maybe I'll send you some letters too.
616
00:35:50,612 --> 00:35:54,399
So, you boys wanna
tell me what happened?
617
00:35:54,442 --> 00:35:57,140
I was stupid enough to think
that I was lending my car
618
00:35:57,184 --> 00:35:58,838
to someone that I could trust.
619
00:35:58,881 --> 00:36:00,840
Yep. And I was stupid enough
620
00:36:00,883 --> 00:36:02,972
to believe someone when they
said we were Bulldog brothers.
621
00:36:03,016 --> 00:36:04,583
I don't know about all that,
622
00:36:04,626 --> 00:36:06,846
but if this is over some car,
623
00:36:06,889 --> 00:36:09,501
I've got an abandoned
jalopy in my garage.
624
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:13,592
Why don't you take it
off my hands, Reggie?
625
00:36:13,635 --> 00:36:15,724
You'd actually be doing me a favor.
626
00:36:15,768 --> 00:36:17,683
That'd be incredible, Pop.
627
00:36:17,726 --> 00:36:21,339
Bet they'd let you keep it in the
shop class at the high school too.
628
00:36:21,382 --> 00:36:22,949
How's that sound to you boys?
629
00:36:22,992 --> 00:36:26,300
- Great.
- Swell. Well, thank you, Pop.
630
00:36:26,344 --> 00:36:28,607
- Thanks, Pop.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
631
00:36:28,650 --> 00:36:30,348
Great. Great. Go.
632
00:36:31,871 --> 00:36:34,177
I wanna come clean about something.
633
00:36:34,221 --> 00:36:36,354
The night I took Veronica out,
634
00:36:36,397 --> 00:36:38,443
I didn't go joyriding afterwards.
635
00:36:38,486 --> 00:36:40,053
That's not why I got back late.
636
00:36:41,271 --> 00:36:45,014
Hold the line. Well,
where were you, then?
637
00:36:46,451 --> 00:36:49,105
I drove home to Duck
Creek to see my folks.
638
00:36:49,149 --> 00:36:50,542
How come?
639
00:36:50,585 --> 00:36:51,978
I was feeling homesick.
640
00:36:53,283 --> 00:36:55,242
Why didn't you just tell me that?
641
00:36:55,285 --> 00:36:58,376
I can't go around telling
people I miss my morn and dad.
642
00:37:00,987 --> 00:37:03,337
Well, I've never really
thought about it like this.
643
00:37:03,381 --> 00:37:05,680
But I've always felt a little homesick
644
00:37:05,681 --> 00:37:08,386
ever since my dad left for Korea.
645
00:37:08,429 --> 00:37:10,083
That's the best way to describe it.
646
00:37:10,997 --> 00:37:11,997
Homesick.
647
00:37:13,782 --> 00:37:16,568
Like I said, he was my best friend.
648
00:37:16,611 --> 00:37:18,439
I've never really had one since.
649
00:37:18,483 --> 00:37:19,875
What about Betty?
650
00:37:19,919 --> 00:37:23,052
Or what's-his-name, Beef Soup? Soup Can?
651
00:37:25,403 --> 00:37:26,403
You mean Jughead?
652
00:37:26,404 --> 00:37:27,970
Yeah. Jughead.
653
00:37:29,972 --> 00:37:31,931
I guess you can't
really talk V8s with him.
654
00:37:32,932 --> 00:37:34,586
No, not really.
655
00:37:35,456 --> 00:37:36,936
He's a good egg, though.
656
00:37:38,285 --> 00:37:40,766
And Betty. She's...
657
00:37:45,988 --> 00:37:48,382
Anyway, how's things
back home with your folks?
658
00:37:48,426 --> 00:37:49,949
The same as always.
659
00:37:49,992 --> 00:37:51,646
They're working hard, missing me.
660
00:37:51,690 --> 00:37:55,563
But they're happy I
ended up in a good home.
661
00:37:55,607 --> 00:37:56,738
With good people.
662
00:37:58,392 --> 00:37:59,785
You're good people, Archie.
663
00:38:01,395 --> 00:38:03,702
Yeah, you too, Reg.
664
00:38:03,745 --> 00:38:05,704
My dad would've got a kick out of you.
665
00:38:05,747 --> 00:38:07,575
- Yeah?
- Oh, yeah.
666
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:11,144
Hey, you think the girls
are gonna go ape on us?
667
00:38:13,886 --> 00:38:14,930
Uh...
668
00:38:17,324 --> 00:38:18,673
Where are the girls?
669
00:39:00,926 --> 00:39:02,841
I can't believe you came to my gig.
670
00:39:02,884 --> 00:39:06,627
If you thought I was gonna miss
the biggest show of your career,
671
00:39:06,671 --> 00:39:08,586
you've got a screw loose.
672
00:39:08,629 --> 00:39:10,326
Thank God you're so stubborn, Midge.
673
00:39:10,370 --> 00:39:13,982
'Cause it turns out,
you were my lucky charm.
674
00:39:14,853 --> 00:39:16,811
What's this, hon?
675
00:39:16,855 --> 00:39:21,511
It's the business card of a music
producer from Phantom Rock Records.
676
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:28,518
Mm.
677
00:39:36,614 --> 00:39:38,311
Holy heck.
678
00:39:40,226 --> 00:39:42,489
That's in worse shape
than mine when we found it.
679
00:39:42,532 --> 00:39:44,970
Careful. Watch what you say about Bella.
680
00:39:46,145 --> 00:39:47,581
Bella?
681
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:50,105
Yeah. I always dreamed about
having a car named Bella.
682
00:39:50,758 --> 00:39:52,978
Oh, Bella it is.
683
00:39:53,021 --> 00:39:54,980
I thought you could use a
hand souping her up a little.
684
00:39:55,023 --> 00:39:57,243
I could. That's why I asked Betty.
685
00:40:01,073 --> 00:40:02,074
Betty?
686
00:40:02,117 --> 00:40:03,771
Hey, Arch. Are you helping out too?
687
00:40:06,818 --> 00:40:09,255
Uh, yeah, I suppose.
688
00:40:09,298 --> 00:40:10,865
By the way, I was telling Reggie,
689
00:40:10,909 --> 00:40:13,433
you two missed an
incredible show last night.
690
00:40:13,476 --> 00:40:15,261
Fangs for sure is the next big thing.
691
00:40:15,304 --> 00:40:17,306
He blew the roof off the Armory!
692
00:40:22,050 --> 00:40:24,009
- Um...
- Yeah.
693
00:40:24,052 --> 00:40:25,706
- Can I have that one? Thanks.
- Yep.
694
00:40:26,315 --> 00:40:27,315
What?
695
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:29,667
What? Oh. Nothing.
696
00:40:30,537 --> 00:40:31,537
Thanks.
697
00:40:56,218 --> 00:40:57,349
Oh, hello.
698
00:40:57,393 --> 00:40:59,569
You must be a friend of Mr. Rayberry's.
699
00:40:59,612 --> 00:41:02,964
Such a shame what happened
to him, may he rest in peace.
700
00:41:03,007 --> 00:41:04,313
Thank you.
701
00:41:04,356 --> 00:41:06,837
Well, I hate to impose, I'm Mrs. Martin.
702
00:41:06,881 --> 00:41:10,066
I just live down the hall and
I've run out of milk for my kitty.
703
00:41:10,109 --> 00:41:13,496
I was wondering if there might be
any in Mr. Rayberry's refrigerator.
704
00:41:19,894 --> 00:41:21,678
How strange.
705
00:41:21,721 --> 00:41:23,985
I wonder what happened
to the milk bottles.
706
00:41:24,028 --> 00:41:25,464
Milk bottles?
707
00:41:25,508 --> 00:41:27,597
A few nights ago, I
heard the milkman making
708
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,166
an unusually late
delivery to this apartment.
709
00:41:31,209 --> 00:41:32,907
The milkman? You saw him?
710
00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:35,387
No. I was inside my apartment.
711
00:41:35,431 --> 00:41:36,431
But I heard him.
712
00:41:38,477 --> 00:41:40,740
How do you hear a milkman?
713
00:41:40,784 --> 00:41:43,569
The distinct rattle of the
glass bottles, of course.
714
00:41:45,876 --> 00:41:47,660
My kitty heard it right away.
715
00:41:47,704 --> 00:41:50,881
Because it is just about her
favorite sound in the whole world.
716
00:41:50,925 --> 00:41:52,840
Isn't that right, Miss Kitty?
717
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:01,000
