Chapter 4
UNSEEN MALE TEEN (V.O.)
A week later, the Blossom family buried
an empty casket, and Jason’s death was
ruled an accident, as the story Cheryl
told made the rounds. That an early
morning idyll turned tragic when Cheryl
saw a ribbon in the water, and Jason
reached down to get it, and accidentally
tipped the boat, and panicked, and
drowned...
INT. POP’S CHOCK’LIT SHOPPE DINER - NIGHT
Open 24-hours. A skinny teenager with dark, shaggy hair sticking
out from under a weird hat -- it’s like a felt CROWN -- sits in
one of the diner’s booths, tap-tap-tapping away on his laptop.
This is JUGHEAD JONES. An emo-heartthrob.
JUGHEAD JONES (V.O.)
...which is super-weird, because Jason
was captain of every sports team at
Riverdale High, including water polo, and
during summer vacations, he worked as a
lifeguard at the country club...
A WAITRESS stops by with a coffee pot, gestures with it, does
Jughead want a refill? He nods, holds up his cup.
JUGHEAD JONES (V.O.)
Not that anyone examined those facts too
closely, or asked too many questions...
Probably because the Blossoms were
like...poison roses in the garden of
Riverdale -- and no one wanted to get
pricked on those venomous thorns...
EXT. THE PEMBROOKE APARTMENT BUILDING - DUSK
A TOWNCAR pulls into the Gothic APARTMENT BUILDING's driveway.
JUGHEAD JONES (V.O.)
So the “July 4th tragedy” became just
another suburban legend -- a cautionary tale we would analyze and regurgitate
endlessly -- until some new scandal or
mystery rolled into town...
Two dark-haired beauties -- HERMIONE LODGE (pearls, always) and
her teenage daughter VERONICA, on her iPhone -- climb out of the
car, look up at the Pembrooke’s ornate facade...
VERONICA
(trying to rally)
The gargoyles remind me of the Dakota
