In Coopers house,Dining Room
Betty says to Alice "You've clearly played G&G before,and when you were my age,there was another suspicious death where the corpse had blue lips." Alice says to Betty "One of us was a murderer." Betty says to Alice "I saw a creature in the woods.What if it's the same person from the Midnight Club?"
Alice says to Betty "Swear to me that you won't play it."
In Science Classroom
Jughead says to Ethel "I wanna be worthy,Ethel.
Could you please show me how?"

In FP's trailer
FP says to This game,it's pure evil."
Jughead yells at FP "That book may be our best shot of figuring out what happened to Dilton and Ben."
On the courtyard
Archie says to the boys "We're gonna get the hell
out of here.We're escaping."
Joaquin says to Archie "Count me in."
In Dilton's bunker
Jughead says to Choni,Fangs and Sweet Pea "You are imprisoned in the Gargoyle King's fortress.
Trapped in pens,you live in fear,never knowing when his legion of Gargoyles will descend from the sky to feed.But his guards are arrogant.You've been able to observe and study their movements.
And you've planned an escape."
At the courtyard
Joaquin says to Archie "It's down.Baby Teeth got to the breaker and cut the juice."
Archie says to Joaquin "You're sure? You're absolutely positive?"
Joaquin says to Archie "We can squeeze through those wires at the top in that corner.But it won't be long before they notice and turn that fly fryer back on.It's now or never,Archie."
In Dilton's bunker
Jughead says to Choni,Fangs and Sweet Pea "Roll the dice to decide your fate."

Jughead's voiceover
It's not life or death."
Guards pull their shotguns
Joaquin says to Archie "They wouldn't."
Guards shooting
Jughead's voiceover
Unless,of course,it is.
Guards continuing shooting and Boy falls over and boy climbing to the top and boy falls down and boy grunting and Joaquin climbing and guards continuing shooting and Joaquin falls and guards shooting at Archie and Joaquin and Archie closing his eyes very tightly
In Dilton's bunker
Jughead says to Choni,Fangs and
Sweet Pea "Play one of the best new FPS shooters,search Steam for PROJECT WARLOCK.
Your mission was unsuccessful.Everyone dies."
Choni,Jughead,Sweet Pea and Fangs
Betty climbs down the bunker
Betty says to Jughead "Jug,you won't believe the
story my mom told me last night.Jug,what are you doing?" Jughead says to Betty "Betty.It's all making sense.All of this is becoming clear.The game,the Gargoyle King.I'm on Level Three,but it's only a matter of time until I ascend.And I get to meet him."
Choni,Fangs and Sweet Pea have left
Jughead says to Betty "So you've confirmed...
So my dad played G&G in high school,huh?
Of course,it makes so much sense."
Betty says to Jughead "All of our parents did.
And they swore each other to secrecy,but,Jug,
while they were playing,one of them killed their principal back then,Felix Featherhead,either
accidentally or on purpose,but,he had blue lips,
just like Ben and Dilton, which is why all of this has to stop..." Jughead says to Betty "Betty,the fact that our parents played G&G just corroborates what I've come to believe.That we have been playing this game for a lot longer than we know.And off-board.Think about it.The Hot Dog rescue,what was that,if not a quest? The Serpents,the Ghoulies.What are they if not warring tribes? Might as well call us orcs and goblins." Betty says to Jughead "Okay, you're not making any sense.And you're also not listening
to anything that I'm saying.We have nine suspects that are all real,tangible leads.One of our parents could be a murderer,so let's go investigate them."
Jughead says to Betty "You're not seeing the big picture.Eldervair,the realm of Gryphons and Gargoyles is an anagram for Riverdale.The whole game is an analog for Riverdale.The game only exists in Riverdale.That's why we couldn't find it on the web." Betty says to Jughead "Okay,well, that is a weird coincidence."
Jughead says to Betty "It's not a coincidence,it's all connected.It's all one big narrative that's still being written and played."
Betty says to Jughead "Okay,you need to calm down,Jug.Who's telling you this?"
Jughead says to Betty "The game.The more I play,the more familiar I become with Eldervair and its rules,the more I see the patterns.The more I understand him or her,and how we'll catch the Gargoyle King.This game is their psychology.It's their imagination.It's how they view Riverdale."
Betty says to Jughead "My mom was right,this
game messes with your head."
Jughead says to Betty "No,no.This is the clarity
I needed,this is the truth.G&G's myths,they are our stories.They're our parents stories.Simple logic,Betty.How do you catch a Game Master?
You become a Game Master yourself.That's what I'm doing.And in the end, when I prove that I'm at his level...I'll come face to face with him."
Betty says to Jughead "Fine.As long as you're safe down here,that's one less thing for me to worry about.So you keep playing.I'm going to go figure this out,starting with our nine suspects."
Betty climbs up
In Pembrooke,Living Room/Dining Room
Veronica reading the newspaper and Veronica wearing her glasses and Hiram walks in
Hiram says to Veronica "You really should go on a run with me one of these morning,mija.
Nothing's more invigorating."
Hiram is sweating and Hiram takes his earphones out and takes his earphones
Hiram says to Veronica "By the way,did you hear what happened at Leopold and Loeb? Apparently,some inmates tried to escape.And I hear their ring leader was,once again,Archie Andrews."
Veronica folds the newspaper
Hiram says to Veronica "But no worries,the guards caught them all after shooting them with rubber bullets.Of course,they'll be punished.They might add an extra year to Archie's sentence."
Hiram's chuckles
Hiram says to himself "Huh."
Hiram sits opposite to Veronica
Hiram says to Veronica "My friend,Warden Norton runs an awfully tight ship."
Veronica says to Hiram "I know you're trying
to set me off right now,but it won't work."
Veronica takes her glasses off and Veronica stands up and Veronica grabs her bag
Veronica says to Hiram "I'm getting Archie out,
one way or the other.And then,you'll be the one rotting away in the very prison your blood money has built."
Veronica walks out and leaves Hiram looks shocked and Hiram grabs his phone and Hiram dials Warden Norton
Hiram says to Warden Norton "Yes.Warden Norton,please."
In Archie's cell
Archie is tied to his bed
Warden Norton says to Archie "Are you comfortable?"
Archie says to Warden Norton "The idea to escape was all mine.I told them to do it."
Warden Norton says to Archie "Why am I not surprised?"
Warden grabs a stick with fire on it
Archie says to Warden Norton "Whoa,whoa, whoa.What are you doing?"
Warden Norton says to Archie "Let this serve as a reminder,you can't fight your destiny."
Archie says to Warden Norton "No,please.No! Don't!"
Archie screams in pain
In Newspaper Room
School bell ringing
Josie says to Betty "Hold up.You're telling me that my mother was a rule-breaking,anti-apartheid activist in high school?"
Kevin says to Betty "And that she and my dad
were together back then?"
Reggie says to Betty "I don't buy it.There's no way my old man hung out and did,like,cosplay
with a group of lame-ass nerds."
Betty says to Reggie "Okay,it's true,Reggie."
Josie says to Betty "And you want us to find out what exactly?"
Betty says to Reggie,Kevin and Josie "My suspicion is that whoever was running the game back then is running it now.Which is why we need to stop them before things get any worse."
Kevin says to Betty "Wait,what are you trying to say?" Josie says to Betty "That one of our parents might be responsible for what happened to Dilton and Ben?"
Betty says to Kevin,Reggie and Josie "Maybe.
And that's why you can't tell them that you know
about their Midnight Club,okay? You have to be careful and subtle when you ask them what they know."
In La Bonne Nuit
Elio says to Veronica "This speakeasy is impressive, Veronica."
Veronica Elio "Impeccable taste and
a little elbow grease go a long way,Elio.But from what I hear,your Sweetwater Casino will soon be giving the Miragio a run for its money."
Elio says to Veronica "You know,if you added a
couple of slots,table games,maybe some cocktails with actual liquor,you'd have quite the little gold
mine on your manicured hands."
Veronica says to Elio "Thank you for mansplaining my business to me.But that's not why I asked you here."
Elio says to Veronica "Right.You wanted to talk Leopold and Loeb?"
Veronica says to Elio "More than talk.Archie's locked away in that hellhole,and I haven't heard from him in weeks.I've hit a dead end with
the Innocence Project.However...I've heard rumors that L and L has direct ties to the Mob. That's why I thought you, with your connections, could help."
Elio says to Veronica "Tell you what,Veronica.I'll
talk to some of my dad's friends,see what I can find out.But,if I scratch your back..."
Veronica cuts Elio's words off
Veronica says to Elio "I'm a Lodge.I know how this goes.Just make it happen,and you'll
be appropriately recompensed."
Elio drinking coke

Toni says to Sweet Pea and Fangs "When this arrow shot right through it.Three feet to the left and I'd be missing an eye right now."
Fangs says to Choni "Yeah,well,we were practicing our aim for the next quest."
Sweet Pea says to Choni "We wanna go off-board." Fangs says to Choni "Take G&G to the real world." Sweet Pea says to Choni "We heard other groups were doing it."
Jughead says to Fangs and Sweet Pea "Tough.
I'm the Game Master so I decide when we go off-board." Sweet Pea says to Jughead "You're the Serpent King,Jones.Isn't that enough? We're your foot-soldiers in life,we gotta be the same in the game? Down in the mud,taking all the risks?"
Jughead says to Sweet Pea "Sweet Pea,we're not doing this again."
Jughead says to Cheryl "Cheryl,grab your bow, notch an arrow."
Cheryl walks off
Toni says to Jughead "Jones,wait,what are you doing?"
Cheryl grabs her bow and arrow and Jughead puts a soda can on his head
Jughead says to Cheryl "Come on.Fire."
Sweet Pea says to Fangs "He's not serious,is he?"
