Riverdale - Season 2 Edit

A haunted town.

Actually, Mom, we're not. We're in trouble here.

After he shot my dad?

After my... ordeal at Sweetwater River, I was asleep when the fire started.

After the guy fired, I should've rushed to my dad straightaway.

All have a history of armed robbery or some other violent crime.

All right.

All right.

And a man who's like a second father to me?

And after a lengthy cross examination,

And as long as the man in the black hood was out there, in the night...

And he held his gun to my head, and I just closed my eyes.

And he was shot.

And he was wearing dark pants and a dark jacket?

And I need you to help me fill those.

And I was holding my dad.

And if you move, it is quietly, and with my blessing.

And imagine my surprise when you weren't here.

And Mr. Andrews was back at home, recovering in his own bed...

And now me and my dad, we're witnesses. Pop Tate, too.

And now me and my dad, we're witnesses. Pop Tate, too.

And now, when I get home late from football practice...

And so are the Pussycats.

And stopped the internal bleeding.

And that what happened at Thornhill was a terrible, tragic accident.

And the guy's eyes were green.

And the lovely Veronica Lodge for quite some time now.

And then Jughead and I went back to FP's trailer.

And whatever you need to do or explore, I support you.

And you will. Soon as we've got him set in a room.

And you won't.

Another reason to go. You can get your dad a change of clothes.

Anything on that jacket? Symbol or insignia?

Archie almost lost his dad.

Archie intended to keep that promise.

Archie, have you spoken to your mother about any of this yet?

Archie, it's too early to speculate.

Archie, try not to worry. Your dad is strong stock.

Archie, what is it?

Archie, you shouldn't be alone right now.

Archie?

Archie? I'm Steven Masters, your father's doctor.

Archie. Hey, were you not telling Sheriff Keller something?

Archie. We're at your graduation. I I didn't think I'd live to see this day.

Archie's true vigil began.

As soon as that gun turned off of me, I

At least you can't accuse my father. He's in jail.

Be a new start.

Because he and Daddy wouldn't get along.

Because you are a Lodge before anything else.

Before we got Vegas, my dad was like, "He's gonna be your dog, little Archie.

Betty, I'm not a Serpent, okay? That's

Betty, no. No way. Did you learn nothing from me and Joaquin?

Betty.

Bricks through the windows, even, during the riots.

Bulldogs are here for you.

But he was probably out of his head on meth or the jingle jangle,

But I didn't open them until I heard the bell.

But I guess I did.

But I'm not a violent person.

But if we weren't so focused on his well being,

But if you ask me, people have grudges, people have enemies.

But if you wanna double check, he was in that booth there.

But it was a miracle that Archie got his dad to Riverdale General

But last night, when you put on the Serpent jacket...

But me?

But new Veronica doesn't want to let Archie down.

But take it slow, Archie. No one's getting married."

But what if one was pissed off enough to do something?

But what's most worrisome is he's not breathing on his own yet.

But when we woke up the next morning, Riverdale was still, at its heart,

But who would be evil enough to do that? And why?

By the way, in case either of you were wondering, Mr. Andrews woke up.

Can I, uh ? Can I tell you about this ?

Can you do me a favor? Mr. Andrews' wallet is missing.

Cheryl?

Cheryl? What are you doing?

Coax him back. Keep it positive. That can make all the difference.

Come here.

Come on in, guys.

Come on. Let's go for a walk.

Conversely, there are things that I'm not good at.

Cutest origin story ever. And?

Dad, I'm sorry I didn't do more at Pop's.

Dad, we're almost there. They're gonna fix you up.

Dad?

Dad.

Dad. Can you hear me?

Dad's in the hospital.

Darker.

Does he have medical problems? Any conditions?

Does that extend to a guy who's like my brother?

Doing a lineup. He asked me to be here with Fred.

Don't worry. I've made a decision about that.

Don't you remember? In Pop's?

Dropping vintage bon mots as if they were bonbons.

During a robbery at Pop's. The guy was in a black hood.

Every time Vegas gets sick, Dad always goes with us to the vet.

Everybody, down!

Everything important is in that wallet.

Facing facts, my dad is going away for a long ass time.

Finds the person who did this or not, don't worry.

For the guy to have taken my dad's wallet, I guess.

For your dad, when he wakes up, which he will. Very, very soon.

Fred Andrews isn't one to leave unfinished business.

Fred's speedy recovery or a quick death?

Get back in line with this family.

Getting off your motorcycle, she'd come out with a shotgun.

Give him his food, fill his water bowl, take care of him when he gets sick?"

Giving him as many of our nine lives as he needs.

God help me, I dove. I don't even remember calling the police.

Good morning. What did you and your friends do after the jubilee?

Good. Yeah, good. We're, uh We

Grief, bedside vigils, comforting boyfriends.

Guys, there's something I haven't told you, because I'm so...

He

He made a promise, a vow,

He may still.

He pointed it at my dad and he fired.

He's a fighter.

He's going to be just fine.

He's going to make it.

He's still in surgery.

Help! Hey!

Hey, Betty.

Hey, Mom, how are you?

Hey, Vegas.

Hey.

Hey. You kids hungry?

Hi, sheriff?

His goal was something else.

His name's Fred Andrews.

How much cash did the creep end up taking?

How much did he get? How much cash?

How was that, Ms. Grundy?

I I just can't believe we're here.

I bet you must be wondering what the hell happened.

I came home early to surprise you.

I came out of the bathroom and there was this man, a thief...

I could've done anything, to comfort my dad, to get the gun away from the guy.

I didn't move, not even when the guy walked up to me.

I didn't. Maybe it was in the truck? Or back at the hospital?

I don't know how long. Long enough

I don't know if you can hear me. Hopefully, you can.

I don't know what's gonna happen, but you should come here, in case...

I don't think you're an innocent pawn, Mom.

I don't wanna see you get hurt. Or hurting someone else.

I don't want to be thinking about this while Mr. Andrews is how he is...

I have to take this.

I haven't eaten since last night.

I heard you.

I knew that Jughead was gonna follow in FP's criminal footsteps.

I know I am.

I know this is a hell of a time for you.

I know we're all really happy about that.

I know your dad vouches for them,

I mean, it's just too early to tell.

I mean, we almost did, but then we were interrupted.

I might've perished if not for Mommy's heroics.

I need to see him.

I remembered how you wanted Fred to sell his share back to you and Daddy.

I should've waited. I made it worse.

I started imagining what we would've talked about at Pop's

I think you're Daddy's eyes and ears on the ground, calling the shots.

I took your dad's things out of the bag. I hope that's okay.

I wanted him so bad, I was like, "Yes, Dad, I'm ready. I'm so ready."

I was a coward.

I was hoping that it means I'll always be close to him, no matter what.

I would've told you how crazy I am about her.

I'll be right back.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'll tell everyone about what really happened in the barn with Daddy.

I'm doing it, Dad. I'm asking her tonight.

I'm fine.

I'm gonna be fine, Dad. Don't worry about me.

I'm gonna protect you. Nothing like this is ever gonna happen again. I swear it.

I'm not ready to go, Archie.

I'm not selling, Hermione.

I'm okay.

I'm only supposed to talk about good things, which limits my options, but

I'm right here, Dad. I'm right here. Okay.

I'm right here.

I'm so ashamed.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going.

I'm telling everyone you ran back into that inferno to save me,

I'm... not sure. That's all that was in there.

I've been thinking about what I can say to you.

I've changed.

I've had dogs walked for me. Does that count?

I've had the privilege of knowing Archie Andrews all his life

I've looked plenty of thugs in the eye. But this man?

If it's just some rando robbing Pop's, he probably took the money and got rid of it.

If that's Snake Plissken, I want him blocked.

If the Manolo Blahnik fits.

If they have ties to the Serpents, they could try to

If things hadn't gone to hell.

If we don't face the reality of who and what we are,

If you breathe, it is because I give you air.

If you drink, it is because I've poured your cup myself.

If you tell anyone the truth about what happened with the fire,

If your Southside associates had anything to do with what happened.

In a "my boyfriend may be joining the Serpents" kind of way.

In case we have to say goodbye.

In the small town of Greendale, just on the other side of Sweetwater River.

In times of crisis... some people lose their appetite.

Indoctrinate me?

Is at this very moment careening down the streets of Riverdale,

Is it cool if I tag along?

Is that right? Well, well, well. Time dies.

It does mean something.

It doesn't feel right. It's...

It meant there were ten biker dudes standing in front of me

It was like the angel of death had come to Riverdale.

It's a hood. Homemade, like he'd cut the eyes out himself.

It's conceivable this was a hit.

It's the only way we can truly start over. Be purified.

It's too soon.

It's what I do, son. It's what I've always done.

Jeez, Pop, lighten up.

Jug.

Juggie? He's moving in with a foster family.

Jughead and I didn't do it, if that's what you were asking.

Jughead said that what happened to Mr. Andrews may have been... a hit.

Just go. I'll take care of this. I'll see you at the hospital or call you.

Just to tide him over until we find his tried and true.

Keep this up, you'll need a superhero name. Like Pureheart the Powerful.

Let me see what I can find out.

Like a second skin. And the look on your face?

Like that? You look like you're auditioning for The Shining.

Listen, he hasn't woken up yet. But talk to him.

Makeovers, party planning, dance offs,

Maybe Maybe you should go home and get changed.

Maybe we can help.

Meanwhile, Archie Andrews,

Might be my dad's life, but it's not mine.

Mija, your disrespect will no longer be tolerated.

Mine increases tenfold.

Mommy got home and rushed headlong into the blaze,

My dad told me he and Mrs. Lodge fired the Serpents on their crew.

My dad's already walked him.

My God.

Never imagining that the angel of death was stalking different streets tonight,

No

No, Archie, wait. Veronica's right.

No, dude. Are you kidding me?

No, no, no. It's actually much more dangerous if we go slow.

No, this is everything they had. You heard the nurse.

No.

No.

No. I'm not leaving.

No. No, I haven't called her.

Nobody's walked you, have they?

Not a penny.

Not according to Sheriff Keller.

Not because you did it on purpose, but because that's the Serpents' world.

Not by me, and certainly not by your father when he comes home.

Not him.

Not like you at all, mija.

Not so much that I still don't want a kiss hello from my daughter.

Not that hideous family portrait you love.

Nothing. He shot my dad and ran out.

Now here's the reals, Baby Jane.

Now I've given it to your dad.

Now you're riding a motorcycle, which you've never done.

Now, I should slap you for what you're insinuating...

Number 2, step forward.

Of course, all any of us can think about is Mr. Andrews.

Oh, and speaking of...

Oh, come on. Joaquin was... nice.

Oh, my God, is this the apocalypse?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I can't handle this.

Oh, no, just... go slow, okay?

Oh, this. A mimosa.

Oh.

Oh. Betty

Oh. Haven't you heard? There was a terrible fire at Thornhill last night.

Okay, that was a bottle of Cristal for your father.

Okay, well, worst case scenario, it's just a wallet.

Okay. Or the wallet's just at Pop's, so, we'll check it out, Vee.

One, step forward.

One, two, three.

Or I should have tackled the guy, but I was I was paralyzed.

Or something even worse.

Paying you back for saving me at Sweetwater River.

Perhaps we could go somewhere and talk.

Pop Tate called an ambulance, and it didn't come so I drove here

Pop, you are not gonna believe this. Archie is getting married.

Put them on.

Right here.

Risking her life to save mine.

Ronnie.

Saturday mornings, Dad takes him out so I can sleep in.

Serpents don't wear masks.

She suffered third degree burns and acute smoke inhalation.

Since this is Riverdale, I have to ask, what if robbery wasn't the motive?

Sir, I'm sorry. I need you to stay here.

So you could see we done what you asked.

So you could tell your old man. That's important to us.

So, a word of advice?

So, go ahead.

So, henceforth...

So, this is who we've picked up so far.

So, uh... what happened, Pop? From your point of view?

So, what did he do? Our masked man?

So, you feeling up for this?

Some Southside lowlife that was just looking for a cash grab

Someone has to have heard about what went down.

Someone help me and my dad!

Someone who has a grudge against your dad,

Something doesn't feel right.

Son.

Sorry, kids, we, uh We're closed today.

Stay with me, Dad. Stay with me.

Talk to us.

Talking about how if Andrews

Thank God.

Thanks, Josie.

That maybe they got the guy?

That, or the guy who shot Fred might have it.

That's gonna be traumatizing. We should go there.

That's how they live. Isn't it?

That's them.

That's why I came back.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, not when there's a snake in its limbs.

The mayor's jubilee was supposed to change everything,

The police have already looked,

The question is, have you?

The truth is, no one loves Vegas more than my Dad.

The wallet's not here.

There isn't any new information.

There was a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

There was a robbery.

They think it was a breeze knocking over a lit candle.

They'll cover for me with my social worker, but I'm not staying with them.

Things are going to be different now, Mommy. Better.

Think of where we live. Fathers are killing sons.

This guy may have my dad's wallet. All his information.

This place has been robbed many times.

This thing that happened at Pop's, with my dad?

Thought you might want company.

Three, step forward.

To protect his father from harm.

To protect you.

Toodles.

Uh, a chocolate almond croissant from Bean & Beluga.

Unless it wasn't just some rando. Unless it was premeditated.

Up until when your father was shot. And then, well, there are some gaps.

Veronica said that you were down at the sheriff's station?

Veronica, I didn't ask you to come. I didn't want to come here and

Veronica, why on earth would I pray for that?

Very good. You're making wonderful progress, Ben.

Wait, what? Jughead Jones said "I love you"?

Wanted to make it look like a robbery.

Was gonna let Hiram Lodge's bitch run the show,

We can take a bus or... Or we can call your mom.

We got back from the hospital, to look for Mr. Andrews' wallet.

We heard about what happened.

We went to Pop's.

We'll knock some heads. Let you know.

We'll know more when he wakes up.

We're sending your dad our prayers,

We're thinking it might be at Pop's.

We're waiting to hear from Pop Tate.

We've got burgers and fries and onion rings.

Wearing that jacket and riding his bike, living in the trailer...

Wearing this hood, with a gun on Pop Tate.

Well, it would've been in his coat. Are you sure you didn't see it?

Well, she better. She picked it out.

Went out like you asked. Guy was holding court at the White Wyrm.

What about your foster family? They're from the Southside.

What are we praying for?

What are you talking about, son? They're dead.

What are you two doing here?

What can I tell you?

What did you bring him here for? If he didn't do anything?

What happened to Jason could happen again.

What if he comes back?

What is that?

What kind of thief shoots up a joint,

What the hell, guys? What is this?

What the hell?

What you said at Pop's...

What, right now?

What?

What?

What? Is that an actual theory?

What's going on?

What's going on? Is that your mom? What happened?

When he decided to let them go. Maybe someone took it personally?

When he wasn't dumping bodies in Sweetwater River or mopping up blood.

Where's, uh ? Where's his wallet?

Which is a threat if I ever heard one.

Which meant he was gone.

Who did this, sheriff?

Who doesn't even have a driver's license yet,

Why are you trying to push Fred out of this deal?

With or without the jacket, you're a Serpent.

Without a helmet?

Without wrecking the truck.

Wondering about when you said the Serpents had my back.

Would you look at that? You know, Veronica's gonna love it.

Wow.

Yeah, and you deserve a break. Okay? I'll handle things for now.

Yeah, but it wasn't him. He's still out there.

Yeah, Dad, what's taking so long?

Yeah, except you didn't, Mr. A.

Yeah, I get it. But some Serpents were working for Fred Andrews

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Yeah, we've concluded, he was just being a loudmouth.

Yeah, you've really been just a rock star god through all of this.

Yeah.

Yell at me and try to push me away, but I'm not going anywhere.

You are gonna need to hold tight.

You are so determined to paint your father as a villain,

You are the best girlfriend ever.

You assume he must've put a hit on Fred Andrews. Brilliant.

You can use mine. Or we can walk.

You can't change your mind now, Dad. They're waiting for you.

You didn't live to see this day.

You gave me the kiss of life, Archie Andrews.

You genuinely believe that.

You guys know every hidey hole in town.

You have no idea.

You okay?

You saved your dad's life. First Cheryl, and now your dad.

You sound like the cranky old guy in the Friday the 13th movies.

You were cruel to me, Mother. It was abuse, plain and simple.

You weren't acting for the Serpents.

You would've asked me about Veronica.

You would've said, "That's great,

You.

You'll see.

You're angry and hurting and probably terrified.

Your dad would be so proud of you, Arch.

Your dad's clothes and belongings. Everything he had on him.

Your dad's in surgery. He'll be there for a while.

Your father is coming back. He and Fred will not get along.

Your father's facing serious jail time. Your mom's overextended and out of state.

Your responsibility. Are you ready to walk him,

[Archie] How is he? Well, we got the bullet out

[bell jingles] [Archie] Pop's bell.

[Betty] A motorcycle? Hop on.

[jingles] No.

[Masters] What happened to him? [Archie] He was shot.

[sighs] it meant something, Jug.

[student] Oh, nice, Jones. [woman] Excuse me.

[Veronica] Oh, my God, Archie. And then he

Always. No, we're good, Pop.

An hour or two, at most. Until then, what am I to do? Nothing?

and I didn't think I could say no. It fit you like a glove, Jug.

And I do not deserve you. Why do you say that?

And she drank your Cristal. So disrespectful.

And then he what? And then he bolted.

And then things got complicated Weird?

And this ski mask he had on No, it's not a ski mask.

Archie. Whether or not Sheriff Keller

Archie's where? [Veronica] At the station,

But, wait, like, heh, nothing? He told me he loved me.

Come here. [sobs]

Dad? What gives? Take the picture. The ceremony starts in ten minutes.

Do not do this. [Jughead] Unbelievable.

Excuse me? By those thugs? Oh, see? [clears throat]

fire his crew, it's good he was gutshot. We thought we might press him.

He doesn't go anywhere without it. For all we know, it's at Pop's.

He's in Room 12. You can see him. Okay, great.

I only have the one. The other thing, Veronica.

I wanted to help No, seriously. Why are we here?

I'd be asking if you We didn't.

I'm gonna be at the trailer. What? Why?

I'm sorry, no. What?

If that's your guest from last night It's Betty. Hello?

If you don't mind That would be great.

Is he ? He's out of surgery.

Is it the hospital? It's Sheriff Keller.

It's Archie. Block him, too.

Mr. I'm Weird I'm a Weirdo ? And I told him I loved him back.

No, take your shower. I'll walk him. Veronica. You ever walked a dog?

No! Cheryl! Cheryl!

One bullet hole, no exit wound. [nurse] Massive blood loss.

please tell me that you were safe. What? No, Mom, we didn't.

See if it was all just talk. And?

Sheriff. How's your dad doing?

Start what? Of course, I can't help but wonder

Thank God. By the Southside Serpents.

That's fair enough. [chuckles]

That's the old Veronica talking. Old Veronica would've bolted by now,

then doesn't take a single dollar bill? [Pop] He wasn't a thief.

There was Pop.

There was nothing you could've done. Not true.

trying to outrace death. [Fred groaning]

Veronica will go with you. Right, Vee? We'll hold the fort down here.

Wait, Archie. What are you doing? I have to walk Vegas.

What do you need? Fred, my buddy's dad, was shot...

What else could it be? [Keller] I suppose it could be

What? Mom, do not start this.

When did you go to Barnaby's? I didn't. I sent Smithers.

Who's waiting? Uncle Oscar. Grandpa Artie.

Why did you even open the bag? I thought

Yes. [Jughead] Who's hungry?

You mean like a snake? It was just a jacket. No snake.

You really want me to go? I do. Yeah.

You sure I can't give you a ride home? I think if my mom saw me

You'll come by tomorrow, then? Absolutely.

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

"I'm gonna be with Jason"? Where would Cheryl go to be with Jason?

[Archie sighs]

[Archie] Dad, the car's waiting. You're gonna be late.

[Archie] Dad?

[Archie] He was maybe 5'10", 160 pounds or so.

[Archie] Help, please.

[Archie] Hold on, Dad. Hold on.

[Archie] Thanks, bro.

[Archie] Thanks, Reggie.
