1. Previously on
Riverdale...
Copy !req
2. - Welcome to the Pit.
Give us a show.
Copy !req
3. Hit me.
Copy !req
4. Warden Norton
is in your pocket.
Copy !req
5. Everyone is in your pocket
except for me and Archie.
Copy !req
6. Where's Mad Dog?
Captain Golightly said he died.
Copy !req
7. So what did you do to him?
Copy !req
8. All three victims were playing
the game Gryphons and Gargoyles.
Copy !req
9. So you're admitting the game
killed Dilton and Ben?
Copy !req
10. You've clearly played
G&G before,
Copy !req
11. and when you were my age,
there was another suspicious death
Copy !req
12. where the corpse
had blue lips.
Copy !req
13. One of us
was a murderer.
Copy !req
14. I saw a creature
in the woods.
Copy !req
15. What if it's the same person
from the Midnight Club?
Copy !req
16. Swear to me that
you won't play it.
Copy !req
17. I wanna be worthy, Ethel.
Could you please show me how?
Copy !req
18. Welcome
to your first game.
Copy !req
19. This game is pure evil.
Copy !req
20. That book may be
our best shot of figuring out
Copy !req
21. what happened to
Dilton and Ben.
Copy !req
22. We're gonna get the hell out of here.
We're escaping.
Copy !req
23. Count me in.
Copy !req
24. You are imprisoned
in the Gargoyle King's fortress.
Copy !req
25. Trapped in pens,
you live in fear,
Copy !req
26. never knowing when his legion of Gargoyles
will descend from the sky to feed.
Copy !req
27. But his guards are arrogant.
Copy !req
28. You've been able to observe
and study their movements,
Copy !req
29. and you've planned an escape.
Copy !req
30. It's down.
Copy !req
31. Baby Teeth got to the breaker
and cut the juice.
Copy !req
32. You're sure?
Copy !req
33. You're absolutely positive?
Copy !req
34. We can squeeze through those
wires at the top in that corner.
Copy !req
35. But it won't be long
before they notice
Copy !req
36. and turn
that fly fryer back on.
Copy !req
37. It's now or never, Archie.
Copy !req
38. Roll the dice
to decide your fate.
Copy !req
39. Let's do it.
Copy !req
40. Now.
Copy !req
41. Remember.
It's only a game.
Copy !req
42. It's not life or death...
Copy !req
43. They wouldn't...
Copy !req
44. Unless,
of course, it is.
Copy !req
45. Your mission was unsuccessful.
Everyone dies.
Copy !req
46. Jug, you won't believe the story
my mom told me last night.
Copy !req
47. Jug, what are you doing?
Copy !req
48. Betty.
Copy !req
49. It's all making sense.
All of this is becoming clear.
Copy !req
50. The game, the Gargoyle King.
Copy !req
51. I'm on Level Three, but it's only
a matter of time until I ascend.
Copy !req
52. And I get to meet him.
Copy !req
53. So you've confirmed?
Copy !req
54. So my dad played G&G
in high school, huh?
Copy !req
55. - Of course, it makes so much sense.
- All of our parents did.
Copy !req
56. And they swore each other
to secrecy, but, Jug,
Copy !req
57. while they were playing, one of them
killed their principal back then,
Copy !req
58. Felix Featherhead,
either accidentally or on purpose,
Copy !req
59. but, he had blue lips.
Copy !req
60. Just like Ben and Dilton,
which is why all of this has to stop...
Copy !req
61. Betty, the fact
that our parents played G&G
Copy !req
62. just corroborates
what I've come to believe,
Copy !req
63. that we have been playing this game
for a lot longer than we know.
Copy !req
64. And off-board. Think about it,
the Hot Dog rescue,
Copy !req
65. what was that, if not a quest?
Copy !req
66. The Serpents, the Ghoulies,
what are they?
Copy !req
67. If not warring tribes,
might as well call us orcs and goblins.
Copy !req
68. Okay, you're not making
any sense
Copy !req
69. and you're also not listening
to anything that I'm saying.
Copy !req
70. We have nine suspects that are all real,
tangible leads.
Copy !req
71. One of our parents could be a murderer,
so let's go investigate them.
Copy !req
72. You're not seeing
the big picture.
Copy !req
73. "Eldervair," the realm
of Gryphons and Gargoyles
Copy !req
74. is an anagram for Riverdale.
Copy !req
75. The whole game
is an analog for Riverdale.
Copy !req
76. The game only exists
in Riverdale.
Copy !req
77. That's why we couldn't find it
on the web.
Copy !req
78. Okay, well,
that is a weird coincidence.
Copy !req
79. It's not a coincidence.
It's all connected.
Copy !req
80. It's all one big narrative that's
still being written and played.
Copy !req
81. Okay, you need to calm down, Jug.
Who's telling you this?
Copy !req
82. The game. The more I play,
Copy !req
83. the more familiar I become with Eldervair
and its rules, the more I see the patterns.
Copy !req
84. The more I understand
him or her,
Copy !req
85. and how we'll catch
the Gargoyle King.
Copy !req
86. This game is their psychology. It's their
imagination. It's how they view Riverdale.
Copy !req
87. My mom was right.
This game messes with your head.
Copy !req
88. No, no. This is the clarity I needed.
This is the truth.
Copy !req
89. G&G's myths,
they're our stories.
Copy !req
90. They're our parents' stories.
Simple logic, Betty.
Copy !req
91. How do you catch
a Game Master?
Copy !req
92. You become a Game Master yourself.
That's what I'm doing.
Copy !req
93. And in the end, when I prove
that I'm at his level,
Copy !req
94. I'll come face to face
with him.
Copy !req
95. Fine.
Copy !req
96. Fine. As long as
you're safe down here,
Copy !req
97. that's one less thing for me to worry about.
So you keep playing.
Copy !req
98. I'm going
to go figure this out,
Copy !req
99. starting with
our nine suspects.
Copy !req
100. You really should go on a run with
me one of these mornings, mija.
Copy !req
101. Nothing's more invigorating.
Copy !req
102. By the way,
Copy !req
103. did you hear what happened
at Leopold and Loeb?
Copy !req
104. Apparently, some inmates
tried to escape.
Copy !req
105. And I hear their ring leader was,
once again, Archie Andrews.
Copy !req
106. But no worries.
The guards caught them all
Copy !req
107. after shooting them
with rubber bullets.
Copy !req
108. Of course,
they'll be punished.
Copy !req
109. They might add an extra year
to Archie's sentence.
Copy !req
110. Huh.
Copy !req
111. My friend Warden Norton
runs an awfully tight ship.
Copy !req
112. I know you're trying
to set me off right now,
Copy !req
113. but it won't work.
Copy !req
114. I'm getting Archie out,
one way or the other.
Copy !req
115. And then, you'll be
the one rotting away
Copy !req
116. in the very prison
your blood money has built.
Copy !req
117. Yes.
Copy !req
118. Warden Norton, please.
Copy !req
119. Are you comfortable?
Copy !req
120. The idea to escape was all mine.
I told them to do it.
Copy !req
121. Why am I not surprised?
Copy !req
122. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Copy !req
123. What are you doing?
Copy !req
124. Let this serve as a reminder.
Copy !req
125. You can't fight your destiny.
Copy !req
126. No, please. No! Don't!
Copy !req
127. Hold up. You're telling me
that my mother
Copy !req
128. was a rule-breaking,
anti-apartheid activist in high school?
Copy !req
129. And that she and my dad
were together back then?
Copy !req
130. I don't buy it.
Copy !req
131. There's no way my old man hung out and did,
like, cosplay
Copy !req
132. with a group
of lame-ass nerds.
Copy !req
133. Okay, it's true, Reggie.
Copy !req
134. And you want us
to find out what, exactly?
Copy !req
135. My suspicion is that whoever was running
the game back then is running it now.
Copy !req
136. Which is why we need to stop them
before things get any worse...
Copy !req
137. What, what are you
trying to say?
Copy !req
138. That one of our parents
might be responsible
Copy !req
139. - for what happened to Dilton and Ben?
- Maybe.
Copy !req
140. And that's why you can't
tell them that you know
Copy !req
141. about their Midnight Club,
okay? You have to be careful
Copy !req
142. and subtle when you ask them
what they know.
Copy !req
143. This speakeasy
is impressive, Veronica.
Copy !req
144. Impeccable taste
and a little elbow grease
Copy !req
145. go a long way, Elio.
Copy !req
146. But from what I hear,
your Sweetwater Casino
Copy !req
147. will soon be giving the
Miragio a run for its money.
Copy !req
148. You know, if you added a couple of slots,
table games,
Copy !req
149. maybe some cocktails
with actual liquor
Copy !req
150. you'd have quite the little gold
mine on your manicured hands.
Copy !req
151. Thank you for mansplaining
my business to me.
Copy !req
152. - But that's not why I asked you here.
- Right.
Copy !req
153. You wanted to talk
Leopold and Loeb?
Copy !req
154. More than talk.
Copy !req
155. Archie is locked away
in that hellhole,
Copy !req
156. and I haven't
heard from him in weeks.
Copy !req
157. I've hit a dead end
with the Innocence Project.
Copy !req
158. However, I've heard rumors that
L&L has direct ties to the mob.
Copy !req
159. That's why I thought you,
with your connections, could help.
Copy !req
160. Tell you what, Veronica.
Copy !req
161. I'll talk to some
of my dad's friends,
Copy !req
162. see what I can find out,
Copy !req
163. but if I scratch your back...
- I'm a Lodge. I know how this goes.
Copy !req
164. Just make it happen,
and you'll be appropriately recompensed.
Copy !req
165. Jones, we have a problem.
Copy !req
166. Your boys went off the deep-end
and got into the arsenal.
Copy !req
167. - So close.
- Oh, next time I'll get it.
Copy !req
168. What's going on
here, fellas?
Copy !req
169. Toni and I were in her tent
having a rendezvous...
Copy !req
170. When this arrow
shot right through it.
Copy !req
171. Three feet to the left and I'd
be missing an eye right now.
Copy !req
172. Yeah, we were practicing our aim
for the next quest.
Copy !req
173. We wanna go off-board,
take G&G to the real world.
Copy !req
174. - We heard other groups were doing it.
- Tough.
Copy !req
175. I'm the Game Master so I
decide when we go off-board.
Copy !req
176. You're the Serpent King,
Jones.
Copy !req
177. Isn't that enough?
Copy !req
178. We're your foot-soldiers in life,
we gotta be the same in the game?
Copy !req
179. Down in the mud,
taking all the risks?
Copy !req
180. Sweet Pea,
we're not starting this again.
Copy !req
181. Cheryl, grab your bow,
notch an arrow.
Copy !req
182. Jones, wait,
what are you doing?
Copy !req
183. Come on. Fire.
Copy !req
184. He's not serious, is he?
Copy !req
185. Fire, Deadeye!
Copy !req
186. Whoa!
Copy !req
187. Sweet Pea,
if you have something to prove,
Copy !req
188. get against the tree.
Copy !req
189. What?
Copy !req
190. - Hell, no. You're crazy.
- No.
Copy !req
191. I'm Game Master,
which means it's my game and my rules.
Copy !req
192. You guys wanna go on a quest?
You want to prove you're bad-asses?
Copy !req
193. You're gonna get a chance.
Copy !req
194. But not until I say so.
Copy !req
195. Don't defy me again.
Copy !req
196. Elio, what's the good word?
Copy !req
197. I think I can get you
to your boy, Veronica.
Copy !req
198. You'll come as my date,
but dress incognito.
Copy !req
199. No problem. But, come
as your date to what?
Copy !req
200. It's better
if you just see it.
Copy !req
201. So you're still screwing around
with this crap, huh, boy?
Copy !req
202. I guess the apple doesn't
fall too far from the tree.
Copy !req
203. The hell is that supposed
to mean?
Copy !req
204. It means I know you played G&G
in high school, Dad.
Copy !req
205. And I know all about what
happened to your principal
Copy !req
206. - during the Ascension Party.
- How?
Copy !req
207. Betty. Which means
Alice spilled the beans.
Copy !req
208. - Big time.
- Yeah, well, whatever story Betty's got in her head
Copy !req
209. about that night, you just remember
that's Alice's version, not mine.
Copy !req
210. So, tell me yours.
Copy !req
211. I've been through every
scenario about that night.
Copy !req
212. Other people could have been sneaking
into the school same way we were.
Copy !req
213. Featherhead could have
had his own game going on.
Copy !req
214. Yeah, there are
infinite possibilities.
Copy !req
215. But what's the most
likely one?
Copy !req
216. I don't know. I don't know
who killed Featherhead.
Copy !req
217. I do. It was a Game Master.
Copy !req
218. Whoever planned
Ascension Night.
Copy !req
219. Betty thinks it was someone from the
Midnight Club, but I'm not so sure.
Copy !req
220. I think it was someone
who's been playing a much longer,
Copy !req
221. a much deeper game.
Copy !req
222. And whoever it was,
I'm going to get inside their mind...
Copy !req
223. and then I'm going
to catch them.
Copy !req
224. Don't you want that, Dad?
Copy !req
225. That's not it at all.
Copy !req
226. This is nice.
We never get to do this.
Copy !req
227. Yeah, this is a blast.
Copy !req
228. So, uh, Mom, Mr. Keller,
Copy !req
229. Kevin and I were talking
and we realized
Copy !req
230. that we don't really know
anything about how you two met.
Copy !req
231. Well,
we were at Riverdale High at the same time.
Copy !req
232. - So you were friends back then?
- More acquaintances.
Copy !req
233. We didn't run
in the same circles.
Copy !req
234. Oh, so you didn't do any
extracurriculars together?
Copy !req
235. Not that I can recall.
Copy !req
236. Um, I was in Model UN
and Volunteers of America.
Copy !req
237. And I was in RROTC
and I was on the boxing team.
Copy !req
238. - Did you guys ever play Gryphons and Gargoyles?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
239. I mean, I knew some kids that played it,
but I wasn't really into that stuff.
Copy !req
240. Yeah, it never really appealed
to me either.
Copy !req
241. Although, now that
we're all together,
Copy !req
242. Josie, Kevin,
Copy !req
243. there's something
we should discuss.
Copy !req
244. Elio, what is this place?
Copy !req
245. And why aren't we
at the juvie?
Copy !req
246. It's a decommissioned
Rec Center.
Copy !req
247. I didn't tell you beforehand because I
didn't want you calling in the cavalry.
Copy !req
248. At least not while I'm here.
Copy !req
249. My patience is wearing thin.
Copy !req
250. Easy, tigress,
it's just about show-time.
Copy !req
251. I'd recognize
those abs anywhere.
Copy !req
252. - Archie?
- Relax.
Copy !req
253. I hear he always wins.
Copy !req
254. Archie?
Copy !req
255. Veronica.
Copy !req
256. Wait. I don't understand.
How are you here?
Copy !req
257. I know people who know people.
Copy !req
258. We only have about 20 minutes.
Copy !req
259. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
260. - What have they done to you?
- Ronnie.
Copy !req
261. I don't want
to talk right now.
Copy !req
262. I have been pursuing
legal options,
Copy !req
263. but it's dead end
after dead end.
Copy !req
264. Which is why I'm thinking
Copy !req
265. an old-fashioned prison break
might be your best option.
Copy !req
266. Ronnie, nobody has ever broken
out of Leopold and Loeb before.
Copy !req
267. Fine. But we're not
in Leopold and Loeb right now.
Copy !req
268. The security Elio and I went
through to get in here was tight.
Copy !req
269. - So we'll need another entry point.
- You're serious about this?
Copy !req
270. Deadly. Why?
Copy !req
271. You have something in mind?
Copy !req
272. Look, it's a long shot.
Copy !req
273. But a couple weeks back,
Warden Norton had me hose down the pool
Copy !req
274. to get rid of the blood.
Copy !req
275. There's a drain
under the ring.
Copy !req
276. I have no idea where it leads or
if I can even squeeze through it.
Copy !req
277. Curse your broad shoulders.
Copy !req
278. But if there's even
a chance...
Copy !req
279. Ronnie, I'm not sure
what I can do to help.
Copy !req
280. Nothing.
Copy !req
281. Let me do some research on the place
and see where the drain leads.
Copy !req
282. You just be ready
when the time comes.
Copy !req
283. - When's your next fight?
- It's coming up. Fast.
Copy !req
284. Then that's when
we're breaking you out.
Copy !req
285. Fellow Serpents,
Copy !req
286. I know all of you have been
eager to get back to Eldervair.
Copy !req
287. Well, cancel your plans.
Copy !req
288. We play tomorrow.
Copy !req
289. All right.
Copy !req
290. So they said nothing?
Admitted nothing?
Copy !req
291. All they did was lie and act
like they didn't know about G&G.
Copy !req
292. Bury the lead, Kevin.
Copy !req
293. They also announced
they're getting married.
Copy !req
294. Oh, seriously? As what,
a smokescreen?
Copy !req
295. I have no clue.
Copy !req
296. You think that
was a crazy reaction?
Copy !req
297. This is what I got when I asked
my dad about that stupid game.
Copy !req
298. Why are our parents being so cagey about
something that happened 25 years ago?
Copy !req
299. What aren't you telling us?
Copy !req
300. Guys, whatever this is,
it has to wait.
Copy !req
301. What's wrong, Vee?
Copy !req
302. I saw Archie.
Copy !req
303. He's caught up in some
diabolical teen fight club.
Copy !req
304. And I need to break him out of juvie
before he dies or kills somebody.
Copy !req
305. And you all have to help me.
Copy !req
306. Jug?
Copy !req
307. Betty.
Copy !req
308. What are you doing?
Getting ready for a party?
Copy !req
309. Yeah, we're about to start a
new quest. Do you want to join?
Copy !req
310. Even if I wanted to, I can't.
Copy !req
311. It's a long story but I'm helping
Veronica break Archie out of juvie
Copy !req
312. - and I'm hoping you can come with us.
- Wait. What?
Copy !req
313. You're breaking
Archie out of juvie?
Copy !req
314. - I know it sounds insane.
- No.
Copy !req
315. It sounds perfect.
Copy !req
316. What? What do you mean?
Copy !req
317. Betty, this quest that I've been working on,
that we're about to start,
Copy !req
318. I thought I was finished,
but it lacked heart, it lacked humanity,
Copy !req
319. until you just gave me
the missing piece.
Copy !req
320. We'll make it
a rescue mission,
Copy !req
321. to save their friend.
Copy !req
322. All Ethel ever talked about
was being worthy.
Copy !req
323. - What is more worthy than that?
- Jughead, this is not a game!
Copy !req
324. This is Archie's life,
and since you refuse to recognize that,
Copy !req
325. I'm taking your bike.
Copy !req
326. This is quite
the spread, Warden.
Copy !req
327. All this,
after I tried to escape.
Copy !req
328. That makes me think
you're not rewarding me.
Copy !req
329. Hmm.
Copy !req
330. You're getting rid of me.
Copy !req
331. I'm afraid so.
Copy !req
332. Your final meal
before your final fight.
Copy !req
333. You have
powerful enemies, Archie.
Copy !req
334. I appreciate you being
honest with me, Warden.
Copy !req
335. But since this may be
the last meal that I ever eat,
Copy !req
336. can I ask you a question?
Copy !req
337. Go on.
Copy !req
338. How exactly did Hiram Lodge pin
Cassidy Bullock's murder on me?
Copy !req
339. Do you know?
Copy !req
340. It's as you imagine.
Copy !req
341. We paid Mr. Bullock's friends,
the ones that were with him that night,
Copy !req
342. $10,000 each
to lie under oath,
Copy !req
343. and say that they saw you
pull the trigger.
Copy !req
344. That's how much
your life is worth, Andrews.
Copy !req
345. $30,000.
Copy !req
346. - Where are they now? Dead?
- They might as well be.
Copy !req
347. It's my understanding
that they're in hiding.
Copy !req
348. Some say in Shadow Woods.
But me...
Copy !req
349. I'd hide in the mines
by Shadow Lake.
Copy !req
350. No chance
of being found there.
Copy !req
351. One last question.
Copy !req
352. Does Hiram Lodge
own you, too, Warden?
Copy !req
353. Has he always
pulled the strings?
Copy !req
354. My soul belongs
to no mere mortal, Andrews.
Copy !req
355. Judgement of all men
Copy !req
356. belongs to he who resides
in the kingdom alone.
Copy !req
357. But he's watching us.
Copy !req
358. He's always watching.
Copy !req
359. Thank you all for coming.
Copy !req
360. I've gathered you all here
because the world is changing.
Copy !req
361. Strange, dark times
have fallen upon us.
Copy !req
362. As you all know,
Archie's stuck behind bars.
Copy !req
363. His life is in danger.
Copy !req
364. The realm of Eldervair
is in disorder,
Copy !req
365. afflicted by evil,
Copy !req
366. as its heart and soul,
the Red Paladin,
Copy !req
367. has been captured
by the Mad Emperor
Copy !req
368. and twisted
into a beast of war.
Copy !req
369. Before we get started,
I want to acknowledge that, yes,
Copy !req
370. we are flying by the seat
of our pants here,
Copy !req
371. but as much as possible,
we must follow the plan.
Copy !req
372. The slightest deviation,
and Archie could wind up dead.
Copy !req
373. We'll need a distraction
Copy !req
374. to disorient the guards and hide
Archie's play for the grate,
Copy !req
375. something we can sneak
into the location easily,
Copy !req
376. that won't arouse suspicion,
something we make ourselves.
Copy !req
377. As for the getaway route, I want you
positioned for the pickup here, Bee.
Copy !req
378. If you stick to the woods,
Copy !req
379. their cars shouldn't
be able to follow you.
Copy !req
380. Just in case,
Copy !req
381. might I suggest we put
another precaution in place?
Copy !req
382. Joaquin,
Copy !req
383. something might go down.
Copy !req
384. If it does,
just know I will come back for you guys.
Copy !req
385. Hey, Joaquin,
Copy !req
386. you with me?
Copy !req
387. Dude, what are you doing?
Copy !req
388. Our game begins
with a Judas kiss.
Copy !req
389. I'm sorry, Archie.
But the Warden said that if I did this,
Copy !req
390. I'd finally ascend.
Copy !req
391. A dastardly act
of betrayal.
Copy !req
392. A traitor has wounded
the Paladin,
Copy !req
393. severely weakening
his defenses.
Copy !req
394. With his life in peril,
it's now up to you, Dream Warriors,
Copy !req
395. to save the Red Paladin
Copy !req
396. and to restore peace
and order to the realm.
Copy !req
397. But be warned,
Copy !req
398. with every second that passes,
the Paladin's fate dims,
Copy !req
399. and with it, all hope
Copy !req
400. for peace in the realm.
Copy !req
401. Without further ado...
Copy !req
402. Let the game begin.
Copy !req
403. - Password?
- Contra.
Copy !req
404. Nice try.
Copy !req
405. That's what it was last time.
Copy !req
406. It changes every time.
Copy !req
407. - Hmm.
- What are your names?
Copy !req
408. Deadeye, you're at the
entrance of the Mad Emperor's dungeon,
Copy !req
409. but you've been blocked by a bridge troll.
How do you proceed?
Copy !req
410. I roll for an intimidation spell,
obviously.
Copy !req
411. What's my name?
Copy !req
412. What's your name?
Copy !req
413. I'm Monica Norton.
Copy !req
414. Perhaps you're familiar
with Warden Norton?
Copy !req
415. Of course.
Copy !req
416. Good. We understand
each other then.
Copy !req
417. My fiancé and I
are here for the show.
Copy !req
418. We want to see blood.
Copy !req
419. The fighters' blood, yours,
I don't really care,
Copy !req
420. as long as it's red.
Copy !req
421. So if you need to call Warden
Norton to get me cleared...
Copy !req
422. Ah, that won't be
necessary, miss.
Copy !req
423. Sorry for the delay.
Copy !req
424. Good job.
You're inside.
Copy !req
425. Pantera, you're up.
Copy !req
426. Whoa, where are you
going with that?
Copy !req
427. I'm supposed to put this
with the other refreshments.
Copy !req
428. If you don't mind,
I can just run this inside.
Copy !req
429. I think it's starting.
Copy !req
430. We're entering
the Lion's Den.
Copy !req
431. The Paladin
is being marched in
Copy !req
432. to meet his doom.
Copy !req
433. For he must face
a resurrected Hellhound.
Copy !req
434. Mad Dog!
Copy !req
435. I thought you were dead.
Where have you been?
Copy !req
436. It's me, Archie.
Copy !req
437. Care for a drink?
Copy !req
438. I just overheard some guards
betting heavily against Archie.
Copy !req
439. They say he's going down.
Copy !req
440. That other guy's huge.
I'm not sure Archie's got long.
Copy !req
441. Okay.
Copy !req
442. Get in position.
Wait for my signal.
Copy !req
443. You've arrived
at the Mad Emperor's tunnel.
Copy !req
444. You found the entrance.
Copy !req
445. But, the Mad Emperor has placed a Bano
protection spell over the barrier.
Copy !req
446. Now that is super annoying.
Copy !req
447. Joaquin?
Copy !req
448. Kevin, what are
you doing here?
Copy !req
449. We're breaking Archie out.
What are you doing here?
Copy !req
450. It doesn't matter.
And it's too late for Archie.
Copy !req
451. Where are you going?
Back to the Serpents?
Copy !req
452. No. No, no, no.
I joined a different gang.
Copy !req
453. - Who?
- You don't want to know, Kevin.
Copy !req
454. Just leave.
You got to get out of here. Right now.
Copy !req
455. - Wait. Wait.
- Go. Go!
Copy !req
456. Wait, Joaquin!
Copy !req
457. Come on. Hit me.
Copy !req
458. Right here. Do it.
Copy !req
459. I'm not fighting you, Mad Dog.
You're not my enemy.
Copy !req
460. But you got to listen to me,
there's a plan in place.
Copy !req
461. My girl is going
to cause a commotion,
Copy !req
462. and I'm going to make a break for
the drain underneath the ring.
Copy !req
463. Come with me.
Copy !req
464. You'll never make it.
Copy !req
465. Not after getting shivved.
Copy !req
466. Yes, I can.
Copy !req
467. You're gonna need
a head start.
Copy !req
468. Deadeye Blossom,
you're up.
Copy !req
469. - Betty, thank God.
- Kev, why isn't the grate opened?
Copy !req
470. There's a lock
we didn't know about.
Copy !req
471. But look,
Joaquin was just here,
Copy !req
472. and I have to go after him.
Copy !req
473. Well, I got this, but you can't go
after Joaquin. What about Archie?
Copy !req
474. I'll be back. I promise.
Copy !req
475. What is it, Game Master?
Copy !req
476. It's a curveball.
Copy !req
477. You're about to come face-to-face
with the Dark Dragon.
Copy !req
478. It's the most evil-tempered,
vile creature in the land.
Copy !req
479. With forked tongue and snarling black slime,
it reeks of rotting flesh.
Copy !req
480. Veronica, what do you think
you're doing here?
Copy !req
481. I could ask you the same, Daddy.
Copy !req
482. But I bet my answer's
better than yours.
Copy !req
483. Whatever scheme you've cooked up,
it ends right now.
Copy !req
484. Sorry, Daddykins,
Copy !req
485. but this is going to hurt you
a lot more than it will me.
Copy !req
486. Ow!
Copy !req
487. Well played.
Copy !req
488. You've impaled the dragon
with your concealed dagger.
Copy !req
489. Mad Dog, let's go.
Come on.
Copy !req
490. I won't get through
that grate.
Copy !req
491. I tried. But you go.
I'll hold off the guards.
Copy !req
492. Yeah, but you...
- Just go, Red! Don't look back.
Copy !req
493. - Warden, he's getting away.
- Guards! Stop him!
Copy !req
494. Find him.
Copy !req
495. We know where that pipe leads.
Copy !req
496. Find him right now!
Copy !req
497. Archie.
Copy !req
498. - Betty.
- Hi.
Copy !req
499. - What took you so long?
- I could ask you the same thing.
Copy !req
500. Are those clothes for me?
Copy !req
501. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
502. You're bleeding.
Copy !req
503. Here, put pressure on it.
Copy !req
504. Here, come here.
Copy !req
505. You freed
the Paladin from the dungeon.
Copy !req
506. But you're not clear
of the Mad Emperor just yet.
Copy !req
507. What the hell are you waiting for?
Go after them!
Copy !req
508. In fact, the Emperor sends
a ruthless cavalry in pursuit.
Copy !req
509. Your noble steed is no match for
the cavalry's mighty stallion.
Copy !req
510. Do you continue on your path
Copy !req
511. or do you surrender
and beg for mercy?
Copy !req
512. - Keep going!
- Never give up!
Copy !req
513. - Go! Go!
- Keep going!
Copy !req
514. You lean forward
in your saddle,
Copy !req
515. urging your horse to fly.
Copy !req
516. On all sides,
the forest becomes a blur of green,
Copy !req
517. but, a quick peek back
Copy !req
518. reveals the Emperor's nightmares
galloping at supernatural speed.
Copy !req
519. It's like hell itself is chasing you,
and it's gaining ground.
Copy !req
520. One loose rock,
Copy !req
521. one cursed root would send you
toppling at this lethal speed.
Copy !req
522. But you force those thoughts
out of your mind.
Copy !req
523. You feel the battle-fury of your
forefathers rise within you,
Copy !req
524. an inextinguishable fire
pulsing through your veins.
Copy !req
525. You are the light
outrunning the darkness.
Copy !req
526. Go around.
It's on the other side.
Copy !req
527. You will escape,
you will be victorious.
Copy !req
528. But then, you're barreling
towards the edge of a cliff.
Copy !req
529. you must stop.
Copy !req
530. What can we do
for you, fellas?
Copy !req
531. Bravo!
Copy !req
532. Your deception gambit
has paid off.
Copy !req
533. You've outsmarted
the Emperor's cavalry.
Copy !req
534. Yeah!
Copy !req
535. Yes!
Copy !req
536. Game Master.
Copy !req
537. Um, hello? What happened?
Copy !req
538. Did we save the Red Paladin?
Copy !req
539. I don't know.
I made a last-minute change to the quest.
Copy !req
540. I was hoping to have the ending or the
answer by the time I got this far.
Copy !req
541. What do you mean
you don't know?
Copy !req
542. Game Master,
where is the Red Paladin?
Copy !req
543. Where is he?
Copy !req
544. Where is the Red Paladin?
Copy !req
545. I... I don't know
what you're talking about.
Copy !req
546. Let him go, Warden Norton.
Copy !req
547. Let him go or I'll mace you.
Copy !req
548. Fall back.
Copy !req
549. Everyone back to the center.
Copy !req
550. Is it over? Did he die?
Copy !req
551. There, you are all patched up.
Copy !req
552. Now don't make
any sudden movements.
Copy !req
553. I won't. Thanks, Toni.
Copy !req
554. Who did that to you, Archie?
Copy !req
555. It was Joaquin.
He stabbed me.
Copy !req
556. I think the Warden
made him do it.
Copy !req
557. Guys, where the hell am I?
Copy !req
558. You're in
Dilton Doiley's bunker.
Copy !req
559. The only people who know
it exists are in this room.
Copy !req
560. Right now, it's the safest place
for you in Riverdale. I promise.
Copy !req
561. Dilton Doiley has a bunker?
Copy !req
562. We'll catch you up to speed
once you're rested, okay?
Copy !req
563. Archie.
Copy !req
564. What is that on your hip?
Copy !req
565. Courtesy of Warden Norton,
Copy !req
566. to put me in my place after I
tried to escape the first time.
Copy !req
567. The Warden branded you and
ordered Joaquin to stab you?
Copy !req
568. Jug...
Copy !req
569. Can I have
everyone's attention?
Copy !req
570. Since my father saw me,
Copy !req
571. I need to go do some damage
control on the home front.
Copy !req
572. But someone needs to stay
with Archie at all times.
Copy !req
573. - Ronnie, I don't need anyone...
- Yes, you do.
Copy !req
574. You go ahead, Vee.
Jughead and I will take the first shift.
Copy !req
575. Excellent.
Copy !req
576. Now, equally important,
Copy !req
577. everyone in this room
is part of a pact.
Copy !req
578. From this moment on,
no one knows where this bunker is.
Copy !req
579. No one was involved
with that breakout,
Copy !req
580. and no one is aware
of Archie's whereabouts.
Copy !req
581. To the grave.
Copy !req
582. Capisce?
Copy !req
583. Are you out of your mind,
Hiram?
Copy !req
584. Archie escaped from an
underground fight club?
Copy !req
585. That you knew about?
Copy !req
586. I am being hounded
by social workers.
Copy !req
587. The Innocence Project
is breathing down my neck!
Copy !req
588. I mean, for God's sake,
I took donations from Warden Norton.
Copy !req
589. Stop yelling.
We can get ahead of this. Contain it.
Copy !req
590. Oh, and finally,
she arrives.
Copy !req
591. Do you have any idea
the kind of mess you've made?
Copy !req
592. Me? What about your husband?
Copy !req
593. Madre de Dios!
You two are unbelievable.
Copy !req
594. This obsession that you both have with
Archie Andrews is going to destroy us.
Copy !req
595. Where the hell are you going?
Copy !req
596. To try and contain the mess that
you and your daughter made.
Copy !req
597. I tried to find him,
but it was no use.
Copy !req
598. - I had to double-back and be the decoy.
- Oh...
Copy !req
599. - Thanks, Pop.
- Welcome.
Copy !req
600. He's out there.
Copy !req
601. Joaquin is out there.
Copy !req
602. I still can't believe
we pulled off the escape.
Copy !req
603. - Shh!
- Sorry. My bad.
Copy !req
604. - It's a secret.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
605. Speaking of,
are we gonna do this or not?
Copy !req
606. - I don't know, you guys.
- Come on, Josie.
Copy !req
607. Don't you want to find out what our
parents and Betty won't tell us?
Copy !req
608. I want to know the truth.
Wherever it leads.
Copy !req
609. We
interrupt our Top Ten countdown
Copy !req
610. with an important
news bulletin.
Copy !req
611. Convicted murderer Archibald
Andrews has escaped
Copy !req
612. from the Leopold and Loeb
Juvenile Detention Center.
Copy !req
613. He is considered
extremely dangerous.
Copy !req
614. The public is advised
to remain indoors
Copy !req
615. and to report
suspicious activity.
Copy !req
616. It is believed he will seek refuge
in his hometown of Riverdale.
Copy !req
617. He's finally asleep.
Copy !req
618. Jug, his burn mark...
Copy !req
619. You mean his brand?
Copy !req
620. Looks a lot like a runic
symbol from Gryphons and Gargoyles.
Copy !req
621. He said the Warden
gave it to him.
Copy !req
622. The Warden also called Archie
a Red Paladin.
Copy !req
623. Does that mean the Warden
is playing G&G?
Copy !req
624. See, this is
what I'm saying, Betty.
Copy !req
625. This game is so much bigger
than a couple kids playing.
Copy !req
626. What if Warden Norton
is the Gargoyle King?
Copy !req
627. Jug,
Copy !req
628. before we dive back in,
Copy !req
629. I think you should go home
and get some rest.
Copy !req
630. How long has it been
since you've slept?
Copy !req
631. Just get a couple
of hours at least.
Copy !req
632. I'll take this watch.
Copy !req
633. Sleep well, Paladin.
Copy !req
634. I have a bad feeling your
trials are only beginning.
Copy !req
635. Sir, Mayor Lodge is here.
Copy !req
636. She'd like to have
a word with you.
Copy !req
637. Tell her I'll be right out.
Copy !req
638. In the end,
Copy !req
639. why did Warden Norton do it?
Copy !req
640. Was he afraid of retribution from the
authorities for his illegal activities?
Copy !req
641. Or was it that the game of G&G he'd
been playing was finally over,
Copy !req
642. and the Gargoyle King was
calling him home to ascend?
Copy !req
643. Either way, the result
was the same.
Copy !req
644. Death by cyanide poisoning.
Copy !req
645. Greg, move your head.
Copy !req
