Riverdale (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Chapter Sixteen: The Watcher in the Woods - full transcript

[narrator] Previously on Riverdale:
I'm so glad that you're home safe
and that the babies are okay.
-He's transferring to Southside High.
-I'm not a Serpent.
It might be my dad's life, but not mine.
[Archie] You get shot.
Ms. Grundy's murdered.
What if some crazy person is going
after the people that I care about?
[Jughead] Every fairy tale comes
with the same warning:
Good children should never go
into the woods alone.
Stray from the path
and who knows what you'll encounter.
A hungry wolf.
A handsome devil.
Or maybe something worse.
[gunshots]
[Midge] Help! Help! Help me, please!
Help! Help!
Oh, I can take that in to Daddy.
I wanna ask him something, anyway.
Your father and I have business
to discuss.
-You know the rules about his study.
-Mom, those were the old rules.
[Hermione] Which still apply, Veronica.
I thought I heard my two palomitas
out here chirping.
Is that my café con leche?
Thank you, corazón.
[Veronica] Tonight's the season premiere
of The Matchlerette.
I would love to have my friends over.
-[Hiram] Who exactly?
-Inner circle only.
Hmm.
You can watch with us.
They're dying to meet you.
-They're welcome to come over, mija.
-Thank you, Daddy.
-[Hiram] Mm-hm.
-Mwah.
[players chattering]
Are we gonna start or what?
Where's Coach Clayton?
-At the hospital with Moose and Midge.
-What?
-Hey, guys!
-[Reggie] I only know what coach told me.
Moose got shot multiple times
by some lunatic at Lovers' Lane.
-Oh, my God--
-No, Arch, he's alive. So's Midge.
He, like, shielded her with his body.
She didn't get hit.
Practice is canceled.
[Ethel] You don't think
they're targeting students, do you?
Should we be worried?
Like, what's going on?
[Keller] It was full-on Carrie.
Midge covered in Moose's blood,
screaming like a banshee.
It was insane.
Kev, what were you even doing there?
[Kevin] I was just night-jogging,
you know, as one does,
and suddenly, I hear gunshots.
Can we agree there's a killer
on the loose?
-With terrible aim.
-Jughead, he murdered Ms. Grundy.
We don't know
these three crimes are related.
Guys, can we focus
on what matters here?
Midge and Moose are alive.
Archie's dad survived.
The Matchlerette starts tonight.
You're coming over to watch.
There's a shooter terrorizing the town.
You really want us
to watch a gross dating show?
What I want is for you guys
to meet my dad officially.
Back in New York,
my dad was always in his study,
doing bad things, as it turns out.
I'm tired of closed doors.
I need to know my dad's life
and he needs to know mine.
-Well, we'll be there, V. Can't wait.
-Thank you.
Hey, Andrews, we're going to the
hospital to see Moose. You coming?
Yeah, for sure.
I'll see you tonight, Ronnie.
I better go.
Was supposed to meet my peer mentor
-at Southside High half an hour ago.
-Wait, are--?
Are you sure
you can't just keep going here?
I'll be fine.
[Betty] Bye.
Okay, it's just us now. Night-jogging?
Yeah. I'm trying to get in shape
for wrestling.
Okay, fine, I was cruising Fox Forest.
I'm going out for wrestling.
I had to tell my dad I was jogging.
-He believed you?
-Yeah. He wants to believe me.
Hey, look, I get it, you're post-Joaquin,
but cruising?
Come on, Kev, you know I hate that.
Why can't you use Grind'em
like every other gay guy?
[Kevin] Nobody's who they say
they are online.
In real life,
what you see is what you get.
[Betty] Moose and Midge were shot
literally 300 yards from Fox Forest,
and the person who did it
is still out there.
Tell me you won't go back
until he's caught.
Okay, fine. I will not go back.
Scout's honor.
[bell rings]
If I wasn't such a big slab of beef,
Midge might've been hit.
You saved her life, bro.
Your nurse is hot. What if you pop
a boner during a sponge bath?
And it wasn't a ski mask?
He was wearing a black hood for sure?
Anything else you remember
about how he looked?
[Moose] His eyes.
They're green, right?
[Midge] They were blank.
Like there wasn't a person
behind them.
He was like Michael Myers.
He had the devil's eyes.
[Midge sighs]
[metal detector beeping]
-It's the pins on my hat.
-Take it off, go again.
Forsythe Pendleton Jones III.
Uh... it's Jughead, actually.
I'm Toni Topaz.
I was supposed to give you
the full animatronic tour,
but some robots went insane
and started killing the guests,
so, we'll just wing it.
Classrooms don't have Wi-Fi,
bathroom stalls don't have doors.
What about the Red and Black?
Yeah, it no longer exists. Censorship?
Budget cuts? Take your pick.
You'll find a glimpse of jingle-jangle
being consumed in its natural habitat.
[Jughead] I'm sorry, "jingle-jangle"?
This place is crawling with the JJ.
A highly addictive total gutter drug.
So, let's not touch that.
Jingle-jangle.
Fascinating.
[Toni] Here in the cafetorium,
Ghoulies sit over there.
Rival gang, drug dealers, street racers,
rumors of cannibalism.
Don't ask.
And we sit over there.
With the Serpents.
You're a Southside Serpent?
Why do you think that I volunteered
to give you the tour?
Actually, I'm gonna sit alone.
Just, you know,
finish my book and brood.
I'm confused.
Aren't you like a Serpent by blood?
The son of FP Jones?
Yeah.
So, I self-identify as a loner,
not a pack animal.
I'm just gonna put my head down
and try and get through this, okay?
Hey, you wanna get through this,
you should hang with the Serpents.
If the Ghoulies get a whiff
that you're alone,
they'll make you their bitch faster
than you can say American History X.
Moose and Midge described him.
Same guy that shot you, same hood, eyes.
Well, maybe and maybe not.
Dad, it's him.
If Sheriff Keller's not gonna take that
seriously, I think we should... be ready.
Like, maybe we should buy a gun,
just be armed in case--
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, okay? Ease up on that.
We're gonna let the cops do their job.
"Armed"?
What the hell are you talking about?
Archie, this is not the Wild West.
We don't keep guns in this house.
Okay?
So, just cool it.
Why don't you sit down next to me,
loverboy?
-Archie?
-I'm sorry. This thing with Moose...
It's like nobody cares. Dad keeps saying,
"Leave it to Sheriff Keller."
I'm like, "Yeah, he did a great job
of catching Jason's murderer."
Oh. Wait, I'm sorry, that was us.
Inside voices, please?
[Jughead] No, don't stop him.
Archie going Travis Bickle
is my favorite Archie yet.
Doesn't it feel like he's targeting us?
I mean, specifically?
I don't want anyone else getting hurt.
When we had a getaway on the Cape,
all of us got together and hired
private security to keep out the riffraff
-as an added layer of protection.
-[Hiram] I loved that house.
-[Veronica] Daddy.
-We're on our way to dinner at the club.
I wanted to meet your friends first.
Great. Thank you.
-This is Betty Cooper.
-Hi. Nice to meet you.
[Veronica] And Jughead Jones.
-Hi.
-[Hiram] Hey.
-You know my dad.
-[Hiram] I do. He's a good man.
He values family.
I hope his return comes sooner
rather than later.
-Yeah, so do we.
-[Veronica] And, Daddy, this is--
Archie Andrews. The boy
who's captured my daughter's heart.
-Daddy.
-Uh, it's nice to meet you, sir.
Ah, please.
Call me Hiram.
I couldn't help
but overhear your discussion and I, um...
I understand your frustration.
As for someone who's had
his own share of run-ins with the law...
[chuckles]
I can say that the police
aren't always the solution.
Sometimes we need to take matters
into our own hands.
-We need to protect ourselves.
-[Hermione] We're gonna lose our table.
Oh, yes, of course.
Hey, it was nice to meet all of you.
-Oh, and Archie.
-Yes.
[Hiram]
Why don't you come over for dinner?
I look forward to seeing what you
come up with... to save Riverdale.

About Archie coming over for dinner...
I wouldn't push that if I were you.
I'm not. Daddy invited Archie.
Mm-hm.
Daddy wants to please his little girl.
And you want your father's approval.
Mija...
you want everything
to change overnight.
You want him to be friends
with your friends.
And that will happen.
Just no need to rush it.
No need to be so thirsty, Veronica.
I'm off to school. Here.
-What's that?
-I don't know. It was on the porch.
Guys, we're under attack.
And by "we,"
I mean our friends, our families.
This time, it was Moose and Midge.
Next time, it could be you...
your girlfriend, your family.
It's time to do something about it.
I want us to start a watch group.
Not to canvass the town,
that's not workable,
but to focus on Riverdale High,
its students,
its faculty and staff, its parents,
where we all hang out,
an extra circle of protection around it.
You want us to take it to the streets,
kick some ass.
That was my first thought, too, Reg.
But no, no weapons, no violence.
I'm talking about a patrol, an extra set
of eyes and ears for the police.
And what if we run into the killer?
Then we call Sheriff Keller.
We're not vigilantes. We're watchdogs.
-We're the Watchdogs.
-We're not called the Watchdogs, Reg.
We're called the Red Circle.
We hold the line.
We're not waiting for the next attack.
We're protecting our own.
-Whoo! Yeah.
-Yeah. Yeah.
[students cheering]
[Phillips] Fahrenheit 451,
by one of my favorite authors,
Ray Bradbury.
Let's start with the title.
Can anyone tell me its significance?
What? Damn it!
People, there's a burning book
on the cover.
Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature
at which paper burns.
"It was a pleasure to burn."
Indeed.
Thank you, Mr... Jones.
And welcome to hell.
[bell rings]
Uh, hi, Mr. Phillips?
[Phillips] Mr. Jones.
Toni was telling me
you used to advise the school paper.
I was wondering what happened.
Drugs and gangs came
to Southside High.
Trying to get students interested
in the school paper
was an exercise in futility.
I'm interested. I have experience.
At Riverdale High,
I wrote for the Blue and Gold.
I'll put in the work.
Your articles online?
Mm-hm.
I'll take a look, let you know.
[Jughead] Thanks.
Hey. What happened last night?
You said you were coming
to Veronica's.
Yeah, something came up.
Something in the woods?
Betty, don't take this the wrong way,
but how many years did I listen to you
go on about Archie and Jughead?
Did you ask my permission
to date them?
No. You didn't need it.
And I don't need yours.
-[Betty] Dating is one thing. This is--
-It's none of your business.
I'll, uh, catch you later.
Kev. [scoffs]
So, button-down Kevin Keller
has a sex-drive. So what?
So, it's putting him in danger.
Why won't he just stop?
Oh, Betty. How little you know
of the human psyche.
Kevin used to be a lonely,
awkward fat boy with acne.
Now he's a smoke-show.
And?
In his mind,
he's still that unattractive Pugsley.
Kevin wants validation, connection,
even if he has to find it in the woods.
Even with a killer on the loose.
Even if you don't approve.
[Veronica] I have incredible news,
Archiekins.
You are invited to dinner
with my parents, chez moi.
-Oh, Ronnie, this week's crazy--
-I don't care.
Archie, this is nonnegotiable.
That drive-by he did
was a kind gesture,
but this, this is like... I don't wanna
call it a test, though it kind of is.
-What am I being tested for?
-Not you, my father.
Can he just be a dad for one night?
No agenda other than getting to know
someone who's important to me.
-In that case, I'll be there for you.
-I don't have time to teach you Spanish,
but I've selected phrases
for you to memorize and practice.
And can we not talk about that
private army you're starting? Okay?
Thanks.
[Betty] Hey.
-Hey. [sighs]
-[Betty] What's wrong?
Your mother got some fan mail.
He calls himself the Black Hood
and he wants us to publish this letter.
He wants everyone to know
that he shot Fred Andrews
and Moose and Midge...
and murdered Geraldine Grundy.
Are you sure that this is real?
[Alice] Oh, it's real, all right.
[Keller] "This is the Black Hood.
I am the man
who shot the adulterer at Pop's.
I killed the child predator in Greendale.
I shot the drug- and sex-addicted
teenagers at Lovers' Lane.
Riverdale is not innocent.
It's a town of hypocrites,
degenerates, criminals.
My wrath is the price of your lies,
your secrets, your sins.
I will not stop. I cannot be stopped.
I am the wolf. You are the flock.
This is the blood-letting.
You will hear from me again."
Well, Tom, how real is this threat?
Well, it's definitely
Fred Andrews' wallet.
These sunglasses,
I'm checking with Greendale P.D.
Alice, in the spirit of public safety--
Tom, tell me if you disagree.
--it's important
to not give this lunatic an audience.
Mayor McCoy, it is our responsibility
to let the public know he's out there
targeting his next victim.
If you print this,
you're gonna cause panic.
I want a media blackout for 24 hours
on this letter, at least.
And I'll be taking it into Evidence.
I'll send you a copy.
[Alice] Oh, no need, sheriff.
We made one right
before we sent it to the printer
for tomorrow's front page.
Mr. Jones, I read your work.
I'm impressed.
So much so that I'll consider
reopening the Red and the Black
on two conditions:
One, no gangs. Two, no jingle-jangle.
Write about them. If I see you
trafficking in either, we're done.
That will not be a problem for me.
Did you think
I'd let teenagers form a militia?
We're trying to help, sheriff.
-People are scared.
-A lynch mob won't help that.
-Sheriff Keller.
-We have a big problem here, Waldo.
You see, your student
has formed his own private army.
The Red Circle is a school club.
You endorse this?
[Weatherbee] Archie has shown
tremendous initiative.
You can't fault students
for wanting to protect each other.
Morning, Waldo.
[Archie chuckles]
[coughs]
Well, it's no New York Times.
But, hey, kudos
on finding your safe space, snowflake.
Yeah, all I need now is a photographer
with an amazing eye
and a hunger for social justice,
and I think I'll be set.
[door opens]
Topaz. Let's bounce.
Jones, wanna come with?
We're going to the quarry.
Uh, I don't have my beach bod yet.
What? You'll ask for help from the
Serpents, but you won't hang with us?
Don't come crawling to us, hat in hand,
when some Ghoulie decides to earn
his stripes by taking out FP Jones' kid.
Duly noted. Thank you, Sweet Pea.
I appreciate what you and the Serpents
have done for me and my dad. I do.
But I'm done. Okay?
No more favors coming your way.
Hey, hey, he made up his mind, okay?
Take the hint, Sweet Pea.
He's just not that into you.
Let's motor.
Catch you later, Jones.
-I'm going. I'm leaving Riverdale.
-You'll give the babies whiplash.
[Polly] I've called the farm.
They still have room.
Farm? What farm?
The farm Jason and I were running to
before my life fell apart.
Honey, let's just talk about this.
Why are you leaving?
Ask Mom. She's the one baiting a killer.
-A killer targeting sinners.
-Polly, you're not a sinner.
I'm an unwed mother
carrying my cousin's babies.
I am the poster child for sin.
That's it. Over my dead body
are you gonna run off to some farm
and give birth in a trough, no doubt.
It might be over your dead body,
Mother,
but it won't be over mine
or my babies'.
Polly!
I'll talk to her.
Midge wanted to thank you...
for saving my life.
[scoffs]
You're like her new hero now.
[sighs]
Hey, so, what were you doing
out there in the woods, anyways?
[chuckles] What were you doing out there
with Midge? Besides drugs.
That was her idea.
She likes to get a little crazy sometimes.
I like Midge, a lot.
Sometimes I'm not sure
we're that great a match.
Kevin, are you okay?
I haven't been making
great decisions lately.
Lying to my dad, sneaking around
and going into the woods.
I know it's dangerous,
but I can't stop myself.
It's like I don't even care. What is that?
I don't know, but guys like us?
Like you?
In a town like Riverdale?
We don't have a lot of options.
So, even if something bad
could happen, we go for it,
'cause what if for ten minutes...
or maybe even just for two minutes...
we're not alone?
[chuckles] I'm glad you're okay, Moose.
Midge, too.
Kevin.
You don't have to go.
Or you can come back, whenever.
If you wanna hang out... or talk.
You're playing with fire,
I want you to know.
I'm polishing cutlery, Mom.
In advance of my parents getting
to know my boyfriend over dinner.
That may be your agenda,
but it's not necessarily your father's.
He's making an effort,
I'm making an effort.
The only person not making an effort
is you.
-I'm trying to warn you.
-About what, Mom?
What do you think Daddy's gonna do?
Please, God,
enough of these veiled threats.
Tell me you think he's dangerous.
Say it to my face
or forever hold your peace
because we're never having
this conversation again.
Can't do it, can you?
Just remember, you're the one
who welcomed him back.
[scoffs]
[rock music playing on stereo]
-Huh. I thought no weapons.
-I've had this bat since I was 10.
Check out the backseat.
Old-school.
[door opens]
Oh...
-[Jughead] Betty.
-So, this is the Red and Black.
You cannot be here at night
unless you are armed.
Well, I am.
[chuckles]
Okay, honestly? I hit pay dirt. Do you
remember how no one could explain
the local component
of Clifford Blossom's drug pipeline?
That jingle-jangle, the stuff Moose
and Midge were on? It's coming from here.
My dad said that Serpents never deal
in hard drugs, but the Ghoulies do.
Well, is it wise to be writing
about gangs and drugs
while you're going to school here?
You worried about me?
Well, yeah, Jug.
I thought you liked me reckless.
[door creaks]
Oh, sorry, guys.
I didn't see the sock on the door.
It's okay. Heh.
Hey, Toni. Ah...
Betty, this is Toni. She is
the photographer for the newspaper.
Oh.
-This is Betty. This is my girlfriend.
-[Betty] Hi, Toni.
-Huh. You are not at all what I pictured.
-Really? What did you picture?
[Toni] Uh, Emily the Strange.
Winona Ryder from Beetlejuice.
Hey, look what Betty got us.
Great minds.
Great minds.
Well. Perfect timing. Zip me up?
Of course.
You know, the one thing about
this apartment is that sound carries.
Even in my study, I could hear you
and Veronica in the dining room...
as if we're all together.
If you wanna burn your relationship
with our daughter,
that's your business.
But... don't ever try
to poison her against me.
Clear?
-Of course.
-Yeah.
You look nice.
[on jukebox]
♪ Close your eyes, now, baby ♪
-[Kevin] Thank you, Delores.
-[Delores] Anytime.
Have a good run, Kevin.
[dance music playing on headphones]
Oh, Kevin.
You precious, beautiful,
compulsive piece of trash.
[rock music playing on stereo]
[cell phone ringing]
Hey, this is Archie.
Okay, slow down. I can barely--
Are you sure?
No, don't. Don't do that.
Just get somewhere safe, okay?
Turn back to Hastings Street.
Stay calm. We're on our way.
[engine revs & tires squeal]
[Archie] This is where she said she was.
-Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure. Ethel? Ethel?
[tires squealing]
[Ethel] Archie!
Archie.
-Ethel, what happened?
-[Ethel] I was walking home
and this van just pulled up
and it circled back three times.
-[Archie] Did you see him? Recognize him?
-No. No, I'm sorry.
-Are you okay?
-[Ethel] Yeah, I'm fine.
[twig snaps]
-[Betty] Where do you think he is?
-[Veronica] I don't know...
Oh, my God.
What are you guys doing here?
Cheryl called me, said you were going
for a jog, headed towards Fox Forest.
Fact.
-You said you weren't gonna do this.
-Betty, what do you want from me?
Have more respect for yourself
than this.
-[Kevin] Respect for myself?
-Yes.
We have been friends a long time,
but you still have no idea--
Well, then tell me, Kev, please.
You act like we've got the same set
of options, but we don't.
You live in this pale-pink world
of milk shakes and first kisses
and "Am I gonna date Archie
or Jughead?"
Except for when she's Dark Betty.
[Kevin] Right, right. Except for when
you're exploring your BDSM sexuality,
which again, you're allowed to do,
but I'm not, because why?
This is what I've got, Betty.
Me, these woods.
So, please don't come here
and tell me it's disgusting.
If you can't accept what I do,
whatever I do, then we're just--
We're not really friends.
[door slams in distance]
[man] Jughead.
Jughead.
[Jughead] Wait!
[Jughead grunting]
[Fred] How's the war on terror going?
[sighs] It's going.
Oh. So, listen, um,
about this dinner with the Lodges.
Hiram is more
than just your girlfriend's dad.
He's my business partner.
Ronnie and I get that. Even if things
with us change, I'll be a gentleman.
I won't do anything to offend her
or Mr. and Mrs. Lodge. I promise.
Problem is, Hiram,
he's the kind of person who...
Well, he'll find a way to be offended
if that's what he wants.
-Just be careful, okay?
-Yeah.
[Betty] Can't you just take a day off?
It's not that bad.
Just some cuts and bruises.
I told you that motorcycle
was risky, Jug.
You promised
you were always gonna wear a helmet.
[Jughead] It was just around the block.
Don't blame me, all right?
Blame the pothole.
I thought you were gonna say that
you got jumped by those Creepies--
Ghoulies.
But, no, the Serpents won't allow that.
They got Jughead's back.
Even though he's not a member.
It's just family loyalty.
Great, well... I've gotta go to school,
try and fix this mess with Kevin.
-Toni, will you keep an eye on him?
-All over it.
[door opens, then closes]
Don't tell Betty.
She doesn't need to know.
We warned you about the Ghoulies.
You'll take them more seriously now.
Yeah.
I will now.
[Archie] The posole was really great,
Mrs. Lodge.
Glad you liked it.
So, Veronica tells me
you rescued the Muggs girl.
Yeah, but the creeper got away.
We need to be faster
with our response time.
Yeah, because you'd like to be ahead
of the threat. I understand.
So, tell me, have you ever had rum?
Rum? What, like the alcohol?
Yeah, there's a signature
Lodge family label. It's:
I have some in my study.
Would you like to try it?
Of course he would.
Oh, palomita, would you mind if Archie
and I had a little chat, man-to-man?
Okay. Sure, Daddy.
[speaks in Spanish]
[door opens, then closes]
Poor little princess.
The king will always keep her
at arm's length.
She'll never be allowed
in his private throne room.
Cab's waiting.
[Betty] Polly, are you sure
this is how you wanna leave?
Without even telling them goodbye?
-I know Mom's sorry.
-She's always sorry.
Until she does the next thing.
I'll be fine.
-I'll call you. I promise.
-Okay. [sniffs]
[Hiram] I like having her up there,
looking over my shoulder.
Keeps me honest.
[both chuckle]
Yeah.
Not the sort your father approves of,
is it?
Uh, rum? No, not-- Not really, sir.
No, I meant about your Red Circle.
[Archie] He's still trying to wrap
his head around it, I guess. Me too still.
[Hiram] You know, Archie...
I hope we can respect each other.
You know, moving forward.
Yeah. Yes. Of course, Mr. Lodge.
No more sneaking
into my daughter's bedroom.
Ever.
You know, and, uh, never...
ever... hurt Veronica.
You know, I do have a thought
about your Red Circle, actually.
You know, it's a noble idea.
But evil, Archie, has no regards
for nobility or good intention.
You know, sometimes,
defending yourself, it's not enough.
You need to, uh, strike back.
Go on the offensive.
This Black Hood, he's waging a war
based on terror and fear.
Those are his weapons.
They should be yours, too.
[line rings]
It's Kevin. Leave a message,
if people still do things like that.
[knocking on door]
Hey. How's it going?
-[man] Kind of late to be out here.
-I'm waiting for someone.
Is it me?
[both chuckle]
I could give you a ride.
Drop you somewhere. Come on, get in.
[Kevin grunts]
[Betty] Moose and Midge were shot.
Tell me you won't go back there.
-You know what? That's okay.
-What, you're playing hard-to-get?
-Come on, get in.
-No, I'm not.
Get in the damn car, you little tease.
[engine starts]
[Keller] It's late.
Hi, Dad.
Where have you been?
Betty had this thing.
Don't lie to me, boy.
Betty was here earlier, looking for you.
We had a talk about...
what you've been doing.
With everything that's going on
right now, I need to know you're safe.
You hear me?
You hear me?
I know that, uh...
there are certain things
that we don't talk about.
Maybe it's time that we start trying.
Okay?
Okay, son.
[Kevin crying]
[Keller] It's okay.
Oh, I know that smile.
-I've been thinking...
-Oh, boy.
I want a more active role
in Lodge Industries.
I am a shareholder, am I not?
That's an honorary title, Veronica.
[Veronica]
Let's make it a real one, Daddy.
I wanna get my hands dirty.
I wanna be in the room
where it happens.
Unless there's a reason
why I shouldn't be involved.
Get a peek behind the curtain?
No. None at all.
Of course you should be involved.
You're a Lodge, after all.

[Jughead] Those kids in the fairy tales
who go into the woods...
they don't come back the same.
They're always changed
in some fundamental way.
Sometimes for the better.
More often for the worse.
That's the common misconception
about fairy tales.
They very rarely...
have a happy ending.
[Archie] Doiley, is it recording?
This is a message for the coward
calling himself the Black Hood.
You think you can attack us
from the shadows.
But Riverdale is a lot stronger than you.
And we're not afraid.
See, there's only one of you.
But we are legion.
We're called the Red Circle.
And we're coming for you.
We will find you.
We will hunt you.
And we will end you.
