It makes sense. 51 00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,468 All of our parents did, and they swore each other to secrecy. 52 00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:58,470 But, Jug, while they were playing, 53 00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:01,264 one of them killed their principal back then, 54 00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:04,559 Felix Featherhead, either accidentally or on purpose, 55 00:03:04,643 --> 00:03:06,603 but he had blue lips, 56 00:03:07,145 --> 00:03:08,480 just like Ben and Dilton. 57 00:03:08,563 --> 00:03:11,525 Which is why all of this has to stop. 58 00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:13,860 Betty, the fact our parents played G&G 59 00:03:13,944 --> 00:03:16,113 just corroborates what I've come to believe. 60 00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:20,909 That we have been playing this game for a lot longer than we know. 61 00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:22,160 And off-board. 62 00:03:22,244 --> 00:03:24,121 Think about it.

Might as well call us orcs and goblins. 66 00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:33,463 You're not making any sense. 67 00:03:33,547 --> 00:03:35,966 And you're also not listening to what I'm saying. 68 00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:37,968 We have nine suspects 69 00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:41,221 that are all real, tangible leads. 70 00:03:41,304 --> 00:03:44,599 One of our parents could be a murderer. Let's go investigate them. 71 00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:46,143 You're not seeing the big picture. 72 00:03:47,144 --> 00:03:50,272 Eldervair, the realm of Gryphons and Gargoyles, 73 00:03:50,355 --> 00:03:52,232 is an anagram for "Riverdale." 74 00:03:52,691 --> 00:03:55,110 The whole game is an analog for Riverdale. 75 00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:59,197 The game only exists in Riverdale. That's why we couldn't find it on the Web. 76 00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:01,408 Okay, well, that is a weird coincidence. 77 00:04:01,491 --> 00:04:03,827 It's not a coincidence. It's all connected. 78 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:08,206 It's all one big narrative, that's still being written and played. 79 00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:11,042 You need to calm down, Jug. Who's telling you this? 80 00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:14,546 The game. The more I play, the more familiar I become with Eldervair, 81 00:04:14,629 --> 00:04:16,965 and its rules. The more I see the patterns. 82 00:04:17,048 --> 00:04:18,842 The more I understand him or her. 83 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:21,261 And how we'll catch The Gargoyle King. 84 00:04:21,344 --> 00:04:23,930 This game is their psychology. Their imagination. 85 00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:25,223 How they view Riverdale. 86 00:04:25,307 --> 00:04:28,185 My mom was right. This game messes with your head. 87 00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,687 No. This is the clarity I needed. It's the truth. 88 00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:34,232 G&G's myths, they're our stories. Our parents' stories. 89 00:04:34,316 --> 00:04:37,611 It's simple logic, Betty. How do you catch a game master? 90 00:04:39,237 --> 00:04:40,906 Become a game master yourself. 91 00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:42,407 That's what I'm doing. 92 00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:45,869 And in the end, when I prove that I'm at his level... 93 00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:49,331 I'll come face-to-face with him. 94 00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:50,707 Fine. 95 00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:53,794 Fine.
