In Hiram's study

In Betty's bedroom
The Black says to Betty "This is the Black Hood speaking."
In Newspaper Room
Betty looks through the papers
In the Library

Betty picks up Nancy Drew Secret Code
Jughead says to Betty "Betty,how could the Black Hood know that?"

In the episode
In the streets
Archie knocking on a door
Man 1 says to Archie "Hello."
Archie says to Man 1 "Hello,Sir.I'm campaigning for my dad,Fred Andrews.He's running for Mayor of Riverdale and could really use your vote."
Jughead's voiceover
On the eve of the Mayoral Debate,as Archie Andrews goes door to door...he doesn't mention the murder of his classmate,Midge Klump.
Archie says to man "Excuse me,sir.I'm campaigning for my dad,Fred Andrews."
Man 2 says to Archie "I'm voting for Hiram Lodge."
Archie says to man 2 "Don't you mean Hermione Lodge? Take the flyer,sir,in case you change your mind."
Man 2 says to Archie "Sure."
Jughead's voiceover
Most people believed Midge was murdered by someone else but not Archie.He was certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt,the Black Hood was back,as was his next-door neighbour,Betty Cooper.Who had,in fact, laid eyes on the Black Hood and suspected he was much closer.
In Coopers house,Kitchen
Hal says to Betty "Penny for your thoughts,hon?"
Betty says to Hal "I was thinking that he was a test."
Hal says to Betty "Who was?"
Betty says to Hal "The impostor,Chic.Everything that he did to us and brought to us,was kind of a test.But we survived and we're stronger for it."
Alice says to Betty "Wait,that remains to be seen."
Betty says to Alice "No,Mom,we are.We'll survive whatever comes next."
Hal nods
Hal smiles at Betty
In Veronica's bedroom
Veronica coving Archie's bruises with cover makeup
Archie says to Veronica "Can't see my bruises anymore."
Veronica says to Archie "Yes, no reason whatsoever to bring up Nick's failed attempt to kidnap and murder you.Speaking of. There's one thing I wanted to tell you."
Archie says to Veronica "What's that?"
Veronica says to Archie "Word of my exploits saying Nick ties comeuppance has seeped into the demimonde of mobsters and molls my father used to associate with.So,the five families are sending their youngest and brightest,their princes as I were,to,well,come court the rare Mafia princess who can belly up to the bar with the big boys."
Archie says to Veronica "What do you mean,court?"
Veronica says to Archie "Thanks to my play,the families are looking to make business and or political alliances with my parents.It's all very Borgia-Medici."
Hiram knocks on the door
Hiram says to Archie "Archie,if you have a moment?"
Veronica says to Archie "Go ahead.
We'll meet up at lunch,after I welcome the tributes."
In Hiram's study
Hiram says to Archie "My spies tell me you're out campaigning for your father."
Archie says to Hiram "I'm not campaigning,Mr. Lodge.I'm trying to find the Black Hood.It sounds insane,but I remember his eyes.So I'm going house to house to..."
Hiram says to Archie "Stare into men's eyes?Well,that sounds like looking for a needle in a haystack,but we don't even know if that the needle is in the haystack.You said you wanted to make your bones.Is that still true?"
Archie says to Hiram "Yes."
Hiram says to Archie "Well,then...Why don't you reform your Dark Circle? You'll want back-up should you identify the Black Hood."
Archie says to Hiram "Reggie and the guys are fired-up,Mr. Lodge, for sure,but I need focused lasers,not loose cannons."
Hiram says to Archie "To help with that,a new Sheriff's taken over for Keller,Michael Minetta.A man I know very well.You could coordinate your efforts with him." Archie says to Hiram "Really?"
Hiram says to Archie "Yes.I'll arrange a meeting.But move fast,Archie.Every hour that passes,our killer could be planning his next attack."
In the streets
Jughead says to Betty "Any word from Chic?"
Betty says to Jughead "No.He hasn't called since I took him to the bus station.So who knows?Maybe he's gone for good."
Jughead says to Betty "Hey,the silver lining to all this Chic stuff over the last couple of weeks is...
That's as bad as it gets,Betty.It can't get worse,how could it?"
Betty says to Jughead "My dad could be the Black Hood."
Jughead chuckles
Jughead says to Betty "Yeah,okay.Well,that would be worse."
In Pembrooke,Living Room/Dining Room
Veronica says to the boys "Well,well,well.Aren't you boys a handsome assortment of he-devils?"
Hermione says to Veronica "Veronica,these young men have come to pay their respects."
Veronica says to Hermione "Oh,I know why they're here,Mom."
Veronica says to the boys "And while I'm dying to hear proposals,I'm already late for school.But maybe I can squeeze you in tomorrow?"
Hermione says to Veronica "Uh...Tomorrow?"
Veronica says to Hermione "You do things your way,Mom,I do things mine."
In Newspaper Room
Betty says to Cheryl "There's no one
else that I can talk to.No one else who might understand what I'm going through."
Cheryl says to Betty "Dear cousin,you look harrowed.What is it?"
Betty says to Cheryl "Cheryl,before you saw the video of your dad...shooting Jason...Did you know that he was the murderer?"
Cheryl says to Betty "Subconsciously,yes.Why do you ask?"
Betty says to Cheryl "I think there's a chance that my dad...That somehow...He might be the Black Hood."
Cheryl says to Betty "Oh.Oh, Betty,I don't know.I've seen your pater sneak around Thistlehouse,and he has all the stealth of a marshmallow man.Wherefore comes this accusation?"
Betty says to Cheryl "It's just intuition.Cheryl,I don't want my dad to be a murderer.It would destroy our lives even more,but I don't know...I can feel it in my bones..."
Cheryl says to Betty "If you're coming to me for advice,fine.Let's get you to the Po-Po.Maybe this new Sheriff has half a brain."
Betty says to Cheryl "No.No.Not yet.I need to be sure before I involve anyone else.Also,I know
it's hard to explain,but if my dad is the Black Hood,I need to be the one who confronts him, who stops him."
Cheryl says to Betty "In that case,absorb my hard learned advice.You need concrete proof,or a confession,or both.First step? Buy yourself time while you investigate.That means pretending everything is normal."
Betty says to Cheryl "Yeah,well,luckily,that's my specialty."
Cheryl says to Betty "You're playing a very dangerous game,Betty Cooper."
Betty says to Cheryl "I don't think he would hurt his own daughter." Cheryl says to Betty "And I never thought my dad would shoot his son in the forehead,but that's the world we live in.Tread carefully,cousin."
Cheryl walks out
In Pembrooke,Living Room/Dining Room
Hiram says to Hermione "You and Fred are neck-and-neck,and with the town divided over our prison,this debate is..."
Hermione says to Hiram "Is the single most important event of the election.I know.I know, basta." Hiram says to Hermione "We already control the Sheriff's office,and The Register,but we need the Mayor's office as well,so the prison can't be blocked.I'm hoping Archie's Dark Circle will cause unrest.After all,if Fred can't control his own son,he certainly can't control a town on the verge of sliding into chaos."
In Boys Locker Room
Archie says to the bulldogs and Kevin "If what happened to Midge taught us anything,it's that no one is safe,anywhere.This town needs us,it needs the Dark Circle.And this time,we'll have the new Sheriff's support."
Archie says to Kevin "No offense,Kev."
Kevin says to Archie "None taken.Here to catch the guy who cost my dad his job."
Moose looks upset
Moose says to the bulldogs and Kevin "Guys,I...I gotta tell you something.The night of the show, Midge and I got into a fight backstage cause she admitted,she was seeing someone else,behind my back."
Archie says to Moose "Who?"
Kevin says to Moose "Who?"
Moose says to the bulldogs and Kevin "She let it slip that it was a Serpent."
Reggie says to Moose "What?"
Reggie kicks a bench
Reggie says the bulldogs and Kevin "I knew it,I knew it,the second they set foot in this school!"
Kevin says to Moose "Moose,why didn't you say anything to us? Or my dad?"
Moose says to Kevin "I didn't want to look like the jealous boyfriend and have people think that I..." Archie says to Moose "We should talk to the new Sheriff..."
Reggie says to the Bulldogs and Kevin "Screw that! Some Serpent scumbag was doing Midge. We just gotta figure out which one."
In History Classroom
Jughead says to the Serpents "War Baby called my father and I from Shankshaw.Her old adversaries,the Ghoulies,have been released.Word on the street is that they want Serpent blood.They're gunning for a re-match.They want war."
Reggie and the bulldogs storms in
Reggie says to the Serpents "Which one of you reptiles was screwing Midge Klump?"
Jughead says to Reggie"What the hell is going on?This is a private meeting."
Reggie says to Sweet Pea "I'm guessing it was you,Sweet Pea." Archie says to Reggie "Reggie, that's enough."
Sweet Pea says to Reggie "You ass,I didn't even know Midge.But yeah,I get why she wouldn't want fleas from you mangy Bulldogs!"
Reggie fighting Sweet Pea
Archie says to Reggie "Reggie,no! Hey,hey,hey, hey! Stop fighting now!"
