172. First, to reviewCopy !req
173. the charges you're facing,Copy !req
174. arson,Copy !req
175. destruction of evidence,Copy !req
176. making a false confession,Copy !req
177. obstructing justice,Copy !req
178. not to mention thisCopy !req

180. a dead kid in the river.Copy !req
181. I know what I did.Copy !req
182. What's the deal?Copy !req
183. What are they offering?Copy !req
184. You're gonna want to take it.Copy !req
185. I'm telling you, I've beenCopy !req
186. doing this a long time.Copy !req
187. It's a strong deal.Copy !req
188. How many damn years?Copy !req
189. - Jughead. Are you insane?Copy !req
190. You're the one thatCopy !req
191. looks like a Dream WarriorCopy !req
192. from Nightmare on Elm Street 3.Copy !req
193. What did the lawyer say?Copy !req
194. I've been walking aroundCopy !req
195. all night trying to wrapCopy !req
196. my head around how bad it is.Copy !req
197. It's bad.Copy !req
198. My dad is facingCopy !req
199. 20 years, Archie.Copy !req
200. Crap, Jughead, I'm sorry.Copy !req
201. That sucks.Copy !req
202. The lawyer thinks he shouldCopy !req
203. take the deal.Copy !req
204. And that if he doesn't,Copy !req
205. and the case goes to trial,Copy !req
206. he could be facing 40 years.Copy !req
207. I'm just really, really scared.Copy !req
208. Yeah, me, too.Copy !req
209. About what?Copy !req
210. I couldn't sleepCopy !req
211. last night, Jug.Copy !req
212. I kept thinkingCopy !req
213. about your dad,Copy !req
214. and Pop's,Copy !req
215. and how maybe we canCopy !req
216. kill two birds with one stone.Copy !req
217. Can you meet meCopy !req
218. at the Mayor's office?Copy !req
219. Okay, great, I'll get it set.Copy !req
220. But right now,Copy !req
221. I need to call...Copy !req
222. Hey, Bee, what's up?Copy !req
223. I know you haven't beenCopy !req
224. sleeping in your room.Copy !req
225. So where exactly have you beenCopy !req
226. spending your nights?Copy !req
227. So, Betty.Copy !req
228. Yes, Betty.Copy !req
229. Ever since you and your dadCopy !req
230. got home from the hospital,Copy !req
231. she's noticed your room's beenCopy !req
232. unusually empty and quiet.Copy !req
233. Why?Copy !req
234. So I can... Watch the doors.Copy !req
235. So I can make sureCopy !req
236. no one comes in.Copy !req
237. I know it sounds crazy,Copy !req
238. but the guy who shot my dadCopy !req
239. is still out there, Ronnie,Copy !req
240. and I'm scared he's gonnaCopy !req
241. come backCopy !req
242. and finish the job.Copy !req
243. Archie,Copy !req
244. you went through somethingCopy !req
245. deeply traumatic.Copy !req
246. Can I make a suggestion?Copy !req
247. Please. Anything.Copy !req
248. When I lived in New York,Copy !req
249. I saw a therapist once a weekCopy !req
250. to help me get throughCopy !req
251. all sorts of Park Avenue drama.Copy !req
252. Now, I'm not saying to goCopy !req
253. see a therapist, Archie,Copy !req
254. but maybe the school counselorCopy !req
255. could help?Copy !req
256. Mayor McCoy.Copy !req
257. Betty, Jughead.Copy !req
258. What can I help you with?Copy !req
259. So, the Chock'lit ShoppeCopy !req
260. is on the verge of closing,Copy !req
261. and we want Pop Tate to knowCopy !req
262. that the entire townCopy !req
263. is rallying behind him.Copy !req
264. We were thinking thatCopy !req
265. you could...Copy !req
266. Make the building a landmark,Copy !req
267. or declare a "Pop's Day"Copy !req
268. in support?Copy !req
269. What if I endorse Pop's,Copy !req
270. and next week someone elseCopy !req
271. is shot there?Copy !req
272. My priorityCopy !req
273. as a mayor and as a motherCopy !req
274. is keeping this town safe.Copy !req
275. If we have to close Pop's,Copy !req
276. I'm all for it.Copy !req
277. Are you also "all for"Copy !req
278. shipping my dad offCopy !req
279. to a state prisonCopy !req
280. - for a murder thatCopy !req
281. he didn't commit?Copy !req
282. - Shh.Copy !req
283. What is this, an ambush?Copy !req
284. I know you have an inCopy !req
285. with the State Attorney.Copy !req
286. If you could just call himCopy !req
287. and try to getCopy !req
288. my dad a better lawyer,Copy !req
289. anything?Copy !req
290. Your father made some mistakes,Copy !req
291. I'm sure he'll getCopy !req
292. a fair hearing.Copy !req
293. Mayor McCoy?Copy !req
294. You remember this moment.Copy !req
295. 'Cause this is the momentCopy !req
296. that you turned your backCopy !req
297. on both Pop TateCopy !req
298. and my father.Copy !req
299. Midge Klump.Copy !req
300. The Klumpster.Copy !req
301. Reggie,Copy !req
302. what do you knowCopy !req
303. about jingle-jangle?Copy !req
304. I know you shouldn'tCopy !req
305. say it so loud whileCopy !req
306. we're on school property.Copy !req
307. And that I can score you some.Copy !req
308. Who's it for?Copy !req
309. Me and Moose.Copy !req
310. Lemme see what I can do.Copy !req
311. What's on your mind, Andrews?Copy !req
312. Girl troubles, scabies?Copy !req
313. Why are you seeking guidanceCopy !req
314. from Ms. Burble?Copy !req
315. - I'm not.Copy !req
316. - Maybe you should.Copy !req
317. You look like my nutsCopy !req
318. after football practice.Copy !req
319. Hey. Do you have anythingCopy !req
320. that can help keep me awake?Copy !req
321. Many things.Copy !req
322. Amphetamines, Baclofen,Copy !req
323. Modafinil, jingle-jangle.Copy !req
324. Jingle-jangle?Copy !req
325. That'll keep you up for days,Copy !req
326. in more ways than one.Copy !req
327. But why do you need uppers,Copy !req
328. Wonder Bread?Copy !req
329. Until the guyCopy !req
330. who shot my dadCopy !req
331. is caught,Copy !req
332. I wanna be on high alert.Copy !req
333. So, can you help me or not,Copy !req
334. Reggie?Copy !req
335. I got you, Andrews.Copy !req
336. We can't letCopy !req
337. the terrorists win.Copy !req
338. We need to hostCopy !req
339. an event at Pop'sCopy !req
340. that reminds the townCopy !req
341. of simpler times.Copy !req
342. Like, a throwbackCopy !req
343. to when the shoppeCopy !req
344. first opened its doors.Copy !req
345. Betty, I like a good milkshakeCopy !req
346. as much as any girl,Copy !req
347. and Pop's putsCopy !req
348. Serendipity 3's to shame.Copy !req
349. But, why this hill to die on?Copy !req
350. Orange freezes with my momCopy !req
351. and Polly after ballet.Copy !req
352. Chicken noodle soupCopy !req
353. with my dadCopy !req
354. after ice-skating...Copy !req
355. Grilled cheeses with ArchieCopy !req
356. on the last dayCopy !req
357. of summer vacation.Copy !req
358. It's where I met youCopy !req
359. for the first time, Vee.Copy !req
360. It's where I met youCopy !req
361. for the first time.Copy !req
362. Also...Copy !req
363. Jug.Copy !req
364. He may lose his dad,Copy !req
365. but maybe I can saveCopy !req
366. this one place for him...Copy !req
367. For all of us.Copy !req
368. Hey. Veronica.Copy !req
369. May I speak to you?Copy !req
370. Daddy?Copy !req
371. - Daddy?Copy !req
372. - Daddy?Copy !req
373. Every day I was in prison,Copy !req
374. I thought aboutCopy !req
375. getting back to youCopy !req
376. and your mother.Copy !req
377. And I knewCopy !req
378. it wouldn't be easy,Copy !req
379. I knew it would take time.Copy !req
380. Meet me halfway.Copy !req
381. Don't you thinkCopy !req
382. I want to, Daddy?Copy !req
383. Don't you think I wantCopy !req
384. everything to go backCopy !req
385. to the way it was?Copy !req
386. The three of us, walking intoCopy !req
387. some fabulous gala or ball.Copy !req
388. You with your twoCopy !req
389. favorite girls.Copy !req
390. But...Copy !req
391. I can't.Copy !req
392. The blindfold's off, Daddy,Copy !req
393. I can't just put it back on.Copy !req
394. I'm sorry, but I shouldCopy !req
395. get back to my friends.Copy !req
396. Yeah, hey, so...Copy !req
397. Were you, uh...Copy !req
398. Planning a dance in there?Copy !req
399. An event. To keep Pop'sCopy !req
400. from closing.Copy !req
401. Well, if I can helpCopy !req
402. in any way—Copy !req
403. I'll let you know.Copy !req
404. I tried going the legit route.Copy !req
405. I even talkedCopy !req
406. to the mayor.Copy !req
407. It's just...Copy !req
408. It feels likeCopy !req
409. the whole system'sCopy !req
410. rigged against us.Copy !req
411. What's FP saying?Copy !req
412. Is he taking this deal?Copy !req
413. Not if I can help it.Copy !req
414. Tall Boy...Copy !req
415. What if we bust himCopy !req
416. out of jailCopy !req
417. before he getsCopy !req
418. transferred to state?Copy !req
419. It's totally doable.Copy !req
420. The sheriff's stationCopy !req
421. has worse securityCopy !req
422. than Riverdale High.Copy !req
423. And once he's out,Copy !req
424. it's just a straight shotCopy !req
425. right up Sweetwater RiverCopy !req
426. until the Canadian border.Copy !req
427. You've seenCopy !req
428. Escape From AlcatrazCopy !req
429. a few too many times, kid.Copy !req
430. Your dad needs a snake-handler.Copy !req
431. Someone whose livelihoodCopy !req
432. depends on snakes.Copy !req
433. Who's used to dealing with 'em.Copy !req
434. I got someone you should meet.Copy !req
435. Humpty and Dumpty.Copy !req
436. Just in time to meetCopy !req
437. our newest recruit.Copy !req
438. In addition to my dutiesCopy !req
439. as a Pussycat.Copy !req
440. And, I just wanna say,Copy !req
441. girls, I'm so excitedCopy !req
442. to work on my movesCopy !req
443. and to be a team player,Copy !req
444. as long as I'm in the front.Copy !req
445. Wait, Cheryl,Copy !req
446. does that mean you're takingCopy !req
447. the Vixens back from me?Copy !req
448. But, really, Veronica,Copy !req
449. were they ever yours?Copy !req
450. Cheryl, we were wondering ifCopy !req
451. maybe the Vixens would helpCopy !req
452. at an event to save Pop's.Copy !req
453. Oh, Betty.Copy !req
454. I did not emerge fromCopy !req
455. the frozen depthsCopy !req
456. of Sweetwater River,Copy !req
457. nor the flames of Thornhill,Copy !req
458. to allow my VixensCopy !req
459. to sling milkshakesCopy !req
460. at some death-cursed diner.Copy !req
461. The answer is aCopy !req
462. double-cherry-on-top no.Copy !req
463. Okay.Copy !req
464. Great talk.Copy !req
465. May I haveCopy !req
466. everyone's attention?Copy !req
467. I have some tragic newsCopy !req
468. to share.Copy !req
469. Ms. Grundy,Copy !req
470. who was a teacher hereCopy !req
471. last semester,Copy !req
472. was foundCopy !req
473. murdered in her Greendale homeCopy !req
474. last night.Copy !req
475. Oh, my God.Copy !req
476. I knowCopy !req
477. some of you wereCopy !req
478. students of hers,Copy !req
479. and that this newsCopy !req
480. will be difficult to process.Copy !req
481. Mr. Andrews?Copy !req
482. First, you get shot.Copy !req
483. Then, Ms. Grundy is murdered.Copy !req
484. All within a matter of days.Copy !req
485. Dad, what if some crazy personCopy !req
486. is going after the peopleCopy !req
487. that I care about?Copy !req
488. What? You think I'm nuts?Copy !req
489. No, son, I think you're scared.Copy !req
490. Understandably so.Copy !req
491. Truth is, son,Copy !req
492. we don't know anything aboutCopy !req
493. what happened to Ms. Grundy.Copy !req
494. She's dead, she was killed.Copy !req
495. Right across Sweetwater River.Copy !req
496. I know.Copy !req
497. It was a horrible thing.Copy !req
498. Don't you wannaCopy !req
499. find out who did this?Copy !req
500. Who's doing this?Copy !req
501. I'm, uh, hereCopy !req
502. for Penny Peabody?Copy !req
503. Forgive the office space,Copy !req
504. but I'm a firm believerCopy !req
505. in low overhead.Copy !req
506. Plus, I like being closeCopy !req
507. to my clients.Copy !req
508. Your clients...Copy !req
509. Being the Serpents?Copy !req
510. Well, I wasCopy !req
511. and still am a Serpent.Copy !req
512. They put me through college,Copy !req
513. law school.Copy !req
514. Right.Copy !req
515. The Serpents are oftenCopy !req
516. on the other sideCopy !req
517. of the law, so...Copy !req
518. Having one of their own,Copy !req
519. on retainer, helping outCopy !req
520. is clever.Copy !req
521. Well, FP always braggedCopy !req
522. that you were smart.Copy !req
523. Oh, yeah, I know your dad.Copy !req
524. And I also know,Copy !req
525. from our, uh, mutual friends,Copy !req
526. the deal he's been offered.Copy !req
527. It's garbage.Copy !req
528. Can you help?Copy !req
529. I know the loopholes.Copy !req
530. In this case, there are none.Copy !req
531. But, if you getCopy !req
532. the victim's familyCopy !req
533. to forgive him,Copy !req
534. in front of a judge,Copy !req
535. that might shift thingsCopy !req
536. in FP's favor.Copy !req
537. Instead of 20 years,Copy !req
538. he can get time served,Copy !req
539. - with parole.Copy !req
540. - Oh, that's great.Copy !req
541. Yeah.Copy !req
542. Thank you.Copy !req
543. Uh, am I supposedCopy !req
544. to pay you, or...Copy !req
545. We're friends.Copy !req
546. I do you a favor.Copy !req
547. One day, maybe,Copy !req
548. you do me a favor.Copy !req
549. Let me know how it goes,Copy !req
550. will you?Copy !req
551. Tell your dad to wear a tie.Copy !req
552. You're twitching, Archie.Copy !req
553. Which means thisCopy !req
554. must be serious.Copy !req
555. I think the same personCopy !req
556. who shot my dadCopy !req
557. may have murdered Ms. Grundy.Copy !req
558. My, my.Copy !req
559. We've come a long wayCopy !req
560. since dances at the gymCopy !req
561. and varsity football tryouts,Copy !req
562. haven't we?Copy !req
563. You were the firstCopy !req
564. to know anythingCopy !req
565. about Jason's autopsy, Mom.Copy !req
566. So, Archie's wondering if...Copy !req
567. If I can get details onCopy !req
568. Ms. Grundy's deathCopy !req
569. and see if they line upCopy !req
570. with the attack on Fred.Copy !req
571. It would be really helpfulCopy !req
572. to put Archie's mind at ease.Copy !req
573. Fine. I'll reach outCopy !req
574. to my ghoulish friend.Copy !req
575. - Thank you, Mrs. Cooper.Copy !req
576. - Thanks, Betty.Copy !req
577. I should go.Copy !req
578. I'll call you, Arch.Copy !req
579. Spreading ourselfCopy !req
580. a little thinCopy !req
581. as the patron saintCopy !req
582. of lost causes,Copy !req
583. aren't we, Betty?Copy !req
584. Oh, you can crossCopy !req
585. saving Pop's off your list.Copy !req
586. Oh, haven't you heard?Copy !req
587. Pop Tate is sellingCopy !req
588. the Chock'lit Shoppe.Copy !req
589. What? To who?Copy !req
590. To, and you'll love this,Copy !req
591. an anonymous buyer.Copy !req
592. Ring any bells?Copy !req
593. Oh, Ms. Veronica.Copy !req
594. I'll take those for you.Copy !req
595. - Oh, thank you, Smithers.Copy !req
596. Hey, girl.Copy !req
597. What?Copy !req
598. Are you buying Pop's?Copy !req
599. The way you boughtCopy !req
600. the drive-in?Copy !req
601. Anonymously?Copy !req
602. And are you doing thisCopy !req
603. just to buy me?Copy !req
604. Yesterday, at school,Copy !req
605. did you think,Copy !req
606. "Oh, Veronica's working so hardCopy !req
607. to save the Chock'lit Shoppe,Copy !req
608. I'll just save it for her!"Copy !req
609. Veronica,Copy !req
610. I'm not buying Pop's.Copy !req
611. Now, please,Copy !req
612. lower your voice and sitCopy !req
613. so we can speak civilly.Copy !req
614. Do you really want to talk,Copy !req
615. Dad?Copy !req
616. That's all I've wanted.Copy !req
617. A fair hearing.Copy !req
618. To explain myself.Copy !req
619. Okay.Copy !req
620. Let's talk about Mr. Andrews.Copy !req
621. Mom asked him to sellCopy !req
622. his portion ofCopy !req
623. the SoDale project,Copy !req
624. and the day afterCopy !req
625. he rejected the offer,Copy !req
626. he was shot in Pop's.Copy !req
627. Was it your doing?Copy !req
628. Veronica, first you accuse me,Copy !req
629. then your father?Copy !req
630. No, no.Copy !req
631. I didn't shoot Fred.Copy !req
632. Nor did I hireCopy !req
633. someone to do it.Copy !req
634. I was yourCopy !req
635. fiercest protector, Dad.Copy !req
636. Ask Mom.Copy !req
637. Whenever somebody called youCopy !req
638. the devil incarnate,Copy !req
639. I defended you.Copy !req
640. I kept telling myself,Copy !req
641. "He's not that bad.Copy !req
642. You can forgive him."Copy !req
643. And then you sent me this.Copy !req
644. A letter threatening you, Mom.Copy !req
645. That's the kind of man you'reCopy !req
646. letting back into our lives.Copy !req
647. Veronica?Copy !req
648. Your father didn'tCopy !req
649. write this letter.Copy !req
650. I did.Copy !req
651. I don't understand.Copy !req
652. I needed you to testify onCopy !req
653. your father's behalf.Copy !req
654. So I wrote this letter.Copy !req
655. Threatening myself.Copy !req
656. Not your father.Copy !req
657. She did it for us.Copy !req
658. To survive.Copy !req
659. So we can be a family again.Copy !req
660. You two deserve each other.Copy !req
661. It's not exactlyCopy !req
662. downsizing, is it?Copy !req
663. Hobo. Bride of Hobo.Copy !req
664. Welcome to Thistlehouse.Copy !req
665. Mother's in the conservatory.Copy !req
666. Follow me.Copy !req
667. Thank youCopy !req
668. for sitting down with us.Copy !req
669. Of course, Betty.Copy !req
670. You're family.Copy !req
671. Okay.Copy !req
672. The reason we're here...Copy !req
673. FP's lawyer thinks thatCopy !req
674. if the family of the victimCopy !req
675. shows mercy...Copy !req
676. Mercy.Copy !req
677. That's why you're here?Copy !req
678. Well, it's an appealCopy !req
679. for leniency from you.Copy !req
680. To reduce my dad's sentence.Copy !req
681. Where was your father's mercyCopy !req
682. when I spentCopy !req
683. those countless nightsCopy !req
684. walking the hallsCopy !req
685. of Thornhill in agony,Copy !req
686. obsessing over whatCopy !req
687. was happening to Jay-Jay?Copy !req
688. Imagining the worst.Copy !req
689. Where was your father's mercyCopy !req
690. when I slept underCopy !req
691. the same roof as aCopy !req
692. cold-blooded killer,Copy !req
693. night after night.Copy !req
694. Cheryl...Copy !req
695. FP didn't kill Jason.Copy !req
696. Okay? That was your dad.Copy !req
697. You saw the video.Copy !req
698. If it were up to me,Copy !req
699. I'd watch FPCopy !req
700. fry in the electric chair.Copy !req
701. We need this sordid chapterCopy !req
702. closed forever,Copy !req
703. and FP is the lastCopy !req
704. loose end to tie up.Copy !req
705. I will not have a living,Copy !req
706. breathing reminderCopy !req
707. of the darkest chapterCopy !req
708. of my lifeCopy !req
709. walking the streetsCopy !req
710. of Riverdale.Copy !req
711. What do we do now thatCopy !req
712. Cheryl's gone full Poison Ivy?Copy !req
713. Blackmail. Extortion.Copy !req
714. If they weren't weren'tCopy !req
715. literally an orphan andCopy !req
716. a widow, I would do it.Copy !req
717. Lacerations on the neck.Copy !req
718. Her trachea's crushed.Copy !req
719. Broken veins in her eyesCopy !req
720. and the skin tearsCopy !req
721. suggest brutality.Copy !req
722. This is a crime of passion.Copy !req
723. Hatred.Copy !req
724. He wanted to feel herCopy !req
725. struggle as she died.Copy !req
726. Tell me, Mrs. Cooper,Copy !req
727. did you know the victim?Copy !req
728. No.Copy !req
729. Stop!Copy !req
730. It's me.Copy !req
731. Are you freakin' insane?Copy !req
732. What the hell are youCopy !req
733. doing here, Reggie?Copy !req
734. Delivering your uppers,Copy !req
735. clearly the last thingCopy !req
736. you need.Copy !req
737. You've lost it, Andrews.Copy !req
738. You're the one hereCopy !req
739. wearing this hood.Copy !req
740. It's called a prank,Copy !req
741. I didn't expect youCopy !req
742. to attack me.Copy !req
743. What if I hadCopy !req
744. been the guy? Eh?Copy !req
745. You would have justCopy !req
746. tackled him?Copy !req
747. Yeah. Damn right.Copy !req
748. He has a gun, Andrews.Copy !req
749. He's shot people.Copy !req
750. Only a dumb-ass lunatic bringsCopy !req
751. a baseball bat to a gunfight.Copy !req
752. There was no signCopy !req
753. of forced entry,Copy !req
754. which probably meansCopy !req
755. she knew her killer.Copy !req
756. The police don't know if anyCopy !req
757. of her personal belongingsCopy !req
758. were taken.Copy !req
759. How, uh...Copy !req
760. How did Ms. Grundy die?Copy !req
761. The autopsy showed thatCopy !req
762. she was strangled.Copy !req
763. With somethingCopy !req
764. the killer grabbed on hand.Copy !req
765. A cello bow, of all things.Copy !req
766. There was a struggle.Copy !req
767. She fought back.Copy !req
768. But, Archie,Copy !req
769. this was a crime of passion,Copy !req
770. in another town withCopy !req
771. a completely differentCopy !req
772. murder weapon.Copy !req
773. The likelihood of theseCopy !req
774. two crimes being connectedCopy !req
775. seems slim.Copy !req
776. Son...Copy !req
777. If I say what I'm thinking,Copy !req
778. you're just gonna thinkCopy !req
779. I'm crazy.Copy !req
780. Probably Mrs. Cooper's right.Copy !req
781. ProbablyCopy !req
782. they're not connected.Copy !req
783. So,Copy !req
784. why'd you do it, Pop?Copy !req
785. Did they make you an offerCopy !req
786. you couldn't refuse?Copy !req
787. Who's buying it?Copy !req
788. Do you even know?Copy !req
789. It shames me to say.Copy !req
790. ChugMo.Copy !req
791. The liquor store chain?Copy !req
792. Hey, could I makeCopy !req
793. a request of you, Pop?Copy !req
794. For a last supper?Copy !req
795. Anything you want.Copy !req
796. Actually, it's not for me,Copy !req
797. it's for my dad.Copy !req
798. He's facing 20 yearsCopy !req
799. of that weird meatloafCopy !req
800. that they serve prisoners.Copy !req
801. So, barringCopy !req
802. an eleventh-hour miracle,Copy !req
803. I wasCopy !req
804. kind of hoping for hisCopy !req
805. last meal in RiverdaleCopy !req
806. that you could makeCopy !req
807. him his favorite.Copy !req
808. Fried chicken, cornbread,Copy !req
809. onion ringsCopy !req
810. and an orange freeze,Copy !req
811. if memory serves.Copy !req
812. It's very Rain ManCopy !req
813. of you, Pop.Copy !req
814. Been doing this a long time.Copy !req
815. Thought I'd be doing itCopy !req
816. until the day I die.Copy !req
817. This is...Copy !req
818. Unacceptable.Copy !req
819. - What?Copy !req
820. - Just everything.Copy !req
821. Pop, have youCopy !req
822. officially sold the diner?Copy !req
823. The contract's being drawn up.Copy !req
824. Do not sign it.Copy !req
825. Okay? Do not give up.Copy !req
826. Either of you.Copy !req
827. I can fix this, all right?Copy !req
828. I will fix this.Copy !req
829. Okay? Bye.Copy !req
830. Give a girl a warning,Copy !req
831. will you?Copy !req
832. You want closure, Cheryl.Copy !req
833. I want to helpCopy !req
834. my boyfriend's dad.Copy !req
835. I already told you.Copy !req
836. And I'm telling youCopy !req
837. to help FP.Copy !req
838. - Or...Copy !req
839. - Or what?Copy !req
840. Or I wide-release the videoCopy !req
841. of your father shooting Jason.Copy !req
842. Try having closureCopy !req
843. with that out in the world.Copy !req
844. I thought you gave thatCopy !req
845. damned thumb driveCopy !req
846. to Sheriff Keller.Copy !req
847. No. Not before I saved a copyCopy !req
848. onto Jughead's laptop.Copy !req
849. One click,Copy !req
850. and the darkest chapterCopy !req
851. of your family'sCopy !req
852. twisted psychodramaCopy !req
853. becomes a viral sensation.Copy !req
854. Are you threatening me?Copy !req
855. This? No.Copy !req
856. No, this is...Copy !req
857. Fun girl talk.Copy !req
858. You could save a man's life.Copy !req
859. Think about that.Copy !req
860. A nice ending to a sad story.Copy !req
861. If I testify,Copy !req
862. you're giving me that video.Copy !req
863. And a guarantee thatCopy !req
864. any and all other copiesCopy !req
865. in your possessionCopy !req
866. will be erased.Copy !req
867. You have my word.Copy !req
868. Also,Copy !req
869. I need the Vixens.Copy !req
870. For Retro Night.Copy !req
871. You're a stone-cold bitch,Copy !req
872. Betty Cooper.Copy !req
873. I don't have red hair,Copy !req
874. nor broad shoulders,Copy !req
875. or a blonde ponytail,Copy !req
876. for that matter.Copy !req
877. Do you wanna talk?Copy !req
878. You were ready to walk awayCopy !req
879. from your dad.Copy !req
880. And now, you're crusadingCopy !req
881. for his freedom.Copy !req
882. What changed?Copy !req
883. He did.Copy !req
884. He made an effort.Copy !req
885. Took another swingCopy !req
886. at being a good dad.Copy !req
887. But don't you thinkCopy !req
888. some people can't change?Copy !req
889. Like, it's just in their DNACopy !req
890. to be bad?Copy !req
891. I'm not gonna presumeCopy !req
892. to know what liesCopy !req
893. in your father's heart.Copy !req
894. But Archie's dad almost died.Copy !req
895. And my dad is going awayCopy !req
896. for 20 years.Copy !req
897. If there's evenCopy !req
898. a.0001% chanceCopy !req
899. - that your dad is trying—Copy !req
900. - I get it.Copy !req
901. Thank you, Jughead.Copy !req
902. Sheriff, I believeCopy !req
903. the man who shot my dadCopy !req
904. is the same personCopy !req
905. that killed Ms. Grundy.Copy !req
906. And I think I knowCopy !req
907. who it is.Copy !req
908. You know, that's, uh...Copy !req
909. That's quiteCopy !req
910. a statement, Archie.Copy !req
911. Ms. Grundy hadCopy !req
912. an abusive ex-husband.Copy !req
913. She moved to RiverdaleCopy !req
914. to get away from him.Copy !req
915. She kept a gun in her carCopy !req
916. in case he'd ever come back.Copy !req
917. How do you know all this?Copy !req
918. Because she and I were...Copy !req
919. We were close.Copy !req
920. And I'm thinking...Copy !req
921. He found out about me.Copy !req
922. Ms. Grundy was killedCopy !req
923. with a cello bow.Copy !req
924. I gave her oneCopy !req
925. before she left Riverdale.Copy !req
926. I'm bettingCopy !req
927. it's the murder weapon.Copy !req
928. Can't you see,Copy !req
929. he's sending me a message.Copy !req
930. Your theory's wrong, Archie.Copy !req
931. My counterparts in GreendaleCopy !req
932. already brought in her ex.Copy !req
933. And he has an airtight alibi.Copy !req
934. Maybe everyone's right.Copy !req
935. Maybe I am going crazy.Copy !req
936. Hey, has Betty called?Copy !req
937. Not yet. Let's pray CherylCopy !req
938. comes through for them.Copy !req
939. Ms. Blossom, you mayCopy !req
940. proceed with your statement.Copy !req
941. Your Honor, I speak for myselfCopy !req
942. and my mother when I sayCopy !req
943. we forgive FP JonesCopy !req
944. for the part he playedCopy !req
945. in covering upCopy !req
946. my brother's murder,Copy !req
947. and we humblyCopy !req
948. ask the court for leniency.Copy !req
949. FP's guilt has been blownCopy !req
950. out of proportionCopy !req
951. to satiate whatCopy !req
952. my father's suicideCopy !req
953. denied us.Copy !req
954. Closure.Copy !req
955. As much as I sympathize,Copy !req
956. I can't ignore the qualityCopy !req
957. of Mr. Jones' crimes.Copy !req
958. There were noCopy !req
959. extenuating circumstances.Copy !req
960. My father threatened him.Copy !req
961. I overheard them talkingCopy !req
962. in Daddy's study.Copy !req
963. Daddy said he would hurtCopy !req
964. Jughead if FP didn't comply.Copy !req
965. Is that extenuating enough?Copy !req
966. In light ofCopy !req
967. these revelations,Copy !req
968. I suggest that we takeCopy !req
969. a step backCopy !req
970. and reevaluate certainCopy !req
971. aspects of the case.Copy !req
972. At which time, we willCopy !req
973. revisit the sentencing.Copy !req
974. Adjourned.Copy !req
975. Is that a win?Copy !req
976. It's a delay. So, yeah.Copy !req
977. No one's here.Copy !req
978. No one's coming.Copy !req
979. It's still early, okay?Copy !req
980. Mom.Copy !req
981. What, did you come to gloat?Copy !req
982. Oh, don't be so cynical,Copy !req
983. Elizabeth.Copy !req
984. I came to write my next storyCopy !req
985. over one last root beer float.Copy !req
986. I'm calling itCopy !req
987. "Requiem for Pop's."Copy !req
988. Can I get a quote, dear?Copy !req
989. You're a fiend, Mother,Copy !req
990. but this is one obituaryCopy !req
991. that you're not gonna write.Copy !req
992. All right, two strawberries,Copy !req
993. one vanilla,Copy !req
994. and one chocolateCopy !req
995. with extra malt.Copy !req
996. Why the hell did you broadcastCopy !req
997. all over social media thatCopy !req
998. the Pussycats would be doingCopy !req
999. a free concert here tonight?Copy !req
1000. I knew that if I asked you,Copy !req
1001. you would have said—Copy !req
1002. - No!Copy !req
1003. If my mom even hearsCopy !req
1004. that I set foot in this place—Copy !req
1005. Josie, you care aboutCopy !req
1006. this place, I know you do.Copy !req
1007. I see you in here all the time.Copy !req
1008. Betty, even if I wantedCopy !req
1009. to help, I'm down a cat.Copy !req
1010. - Valerie has norovirus—Copy !req
1011. - I don't mind stepping in.Copy !req
1012. After all, if youCopy !req
1013. can be a River Vixen,Copy !req
1014. Josie, I can be a Pussycat.Copy !req
1015. As long as it's a cover,Copy !req
1016. I'm sure I'll know the lyrics.Copy !req
1017. I mean, you do loveCopy !req
1018. your cheese fries, Josie...Copy !req
1019. Fine. Fine.Copy !req
1020. My milkshake bringsCopy !req
1021. All the boys to the yardCopy !req
1022. And they're likeCopy !req
1023. It's better than yoursCopy !req
1024. Damn rightCopy !req
1025. It's better than yoursCopy !req
1026. I can teach youCopy !req
1027. But I have to chargeCopy !req
1028. My milkshake bringsCopy !req
1029. All the boys to the yardCopy !req
1030. And they're likeCopy !req
1031. It's better than yoursCopy !req
1032. Damn rightCopy !req
1033. It's better than yoursCopy !req
1034. I can teach youCopy !req
1035. But I have to chargeCopy !req
1036. The thing that makes meCopy !req
1037. The way I windCopy !req
1038. I think it's timeCopy !req
1039. Hey there, Daddy-O.Copy !req
1040. - You made it.Copy !req
1041. You feeling okay?Copy !req
1042. Yeah. Just taking deep breaths.Copy !req
1043. I'm proud of you.Copy !req
1044. Come on, you take a booth.Copy !req
1045. And I'll get you a shake.Copy !req
1046. We're not here to fight,Copy !req
1047. we're here to be supportive.Copy !req
1048. Dad, Mom.Copy !req
1049. I've been thinking.Copy !req
1050. Tonight is a new beginningCopy !req
1051. for Pop's. And...Copy !req
1052. Maybe it can be for us, too.Copy !req
1053. That's up to you, mija.Copy !req
1054. If that's what you want.Copy !req
1055. Let's try. But, you guys,Copy !req
1056. total transparency, okay?Copy !req
1057. From now on.Copy !req
1058. In the spirit of that,Copy !req
1059. I propose thatCopy !req
1060. Lodge Industries makeCopy !req
