Episode One Transcript

Without further ado, here is the transcript for the first episode:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Ya bury gold ta keep it secret. And if someone's listenin'... it ain't a secret anymore.

- The Captain

Episode One

The Beginning

Captain: This secret type meeting be come to order, and we ain't to be wasting time drinking or gambling or shooting each other for fun. We're all to blame for what happened. Mulligan.

Mulligan: Meep.

Captain: Black Tom.

Black Tom: Hai.

Captain: And Crothers.

Crothers: And you Captain.

Captain: Aye, and me. We hid our treasure well lads. Too bloody well. We did such a fine blasted job of hiding that chest, not one of us four remembers where we put it. Mates, we lost our gold. Them beautiful ten thousand golden dollar coins were all we had.

Mulligan: And now any lubber can find it and spends it.

Black Tom: [Japanese sounding nonsense]

Captain: Aye, Tom. That be the plan. To retrace our steps, but we'll do it secret like. Word's been leaked that we lost our gold. I suspect there be spies listenin' to every word we speaks.

Crothers: And we'll never let spies steal what we stole first.

Captain: And never stop till we remembers where that chest be buried.

Mulligan: And we'll never tell them spies that we first had that gold in Central Park.

Bird: Hide the gold. Hide the gold. Hide the gold. Hide the gold. Hide the gold.

Mulligan: Hur hur. Captain, he shouldn't say that in front of the spies.

Captain: Mind your tongue Mulligan, we can't talk too plainly. We have to out think them spies. To be safe I think that we should talk in code. Riddles only we four'll understand.

Mulligan: Oh, we get to talk in code. Like Morse code. Oh, I love Morse code. Dot. Dot. Dot.

Bird: Dash.

Crothers: In code. [Mulligan: Dot. Dash.] Retracing our steps. But in code? [Bird: Dot. Dash. Dot.] Got it. How's this [Mulligan: Dash.] for code lads? [Bird: Dot. Dash.] [Mulligan: Dash.] Balto. [Bird: Dot. Dash. Dash.] [Mulligan: Dot. Dash.] Balto's the code see.

Captain: Crothers, wait.

Crothers: By me code of Balto I mean the statue of Balto. The dog statue. That's me code.

Captain: If ye says it's a code Crothers, it ruins the sneakiness.

Bird: Dot. Dash. Dot. Dot.

Captain: I'll say where we was after the Balto statue, but I won't say its [Mulligan: Dot. Dash. Dot. Dot.] a code. And I'll just make it confusing [Bird: Dot. Dash.] so spies can't understand me.

Mulligan: Dash. Dot. Dash. Dot.

Captain: After a cave we went between Cape Shakespeare and Columbus Rock. See? No mention of code. Ha har.

Crothers: That is confusing. I have no idea what you're talking about. But don't worry lads, [Bird: Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot.] I'm the luckiest man alive. We'll find that gold in no time.

Mulligan: Dot. Dash. Dash.

Bird: Dot. Dash.

Captain: As long as I can remembers, thinking way back in me thinky thoughts, Crothers has always been the luckiest man alive, and as long as I can remember all that luck were bad.

Crothers gets hit in eye with knife.

Crothers: Whoa. Whoa. Ahhhh.

Mulligan: Dot. Dash. Dot. Dot. Dash. Dot. Dash.

Captain: Stop spewing that blasted Morris code. Me fine flashback has been ruined on account you cannot shut your bilge hole.

Black Tom: Roku san ni san. Roku ni go ichi. Roku ni ni kyu. [translates as: 6323 6251 6229]

Captain: Aye Tom. You've grabbed the sneakiness by the belly. That clue don't mean nothing now. Ah har. It belongs in the next episode. That'll fool listening spies.

Mulligan: Tom. Help. This toy has me and it will not let go.

Black Tom removes chinese finger cuffs.

Black Tom: Zut.

Mulligan: Oh thank you Tom.

Captain: I hate to think what it would be like if I did not have Tom on me crew. Black Tom. Perhaps the finest pirate I've ever sailed with, and I've sailed with Johnny Longbottoms. T...

Mulligan: I have a good code. Instead of Central Park we call it Pentral Cark.

Captain: Mulligan you're just switching letters about. You're still saying Central Park.

Mulligan: Yeah, sneaky code ain't it.

Captain: There ain't nothing sneaky about switching the "C" with the "P".

Mulligan: But you see what I did with the "C"...

Captain: Mulligan, that conspicurous code be as useful as a one legged man in a leg having contest.

Crothers: Ha ha ha.

Captain: Har har.

Mulligan: Oh. Then how about this. Instead of calling it window sill, we call it window sell. Sill, I-L-L, sell, E-L-E.

Crothers: Oh. That's clever that is.

Captain: If by clever you mean turds.

Black Tom: Ha ha ha.

Captain: Listen we needs to focus. Remember we is retracing our steps so's we can find our treasure. There is the next important word we have to say. But we don't want eavesdropping spies to hear us say "Dairy" out loud. So to make it all sneaky, Mulligan, you say: I ated the ice cream.

Mulligan: I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember eating any iced cream. But I do remember what I was gonna buy with my share of the treasure. Wait, I'll say it in code: belly jeans.

Captain: I know you're saying jelly beans. I am not even gonna waste a flashback on ya. Instead I will remember me sweet stuffed animal type friend - Tutty.

Captain: I remember sitting with Tutty on our favorite rock. Him and me. Me and him. Tutty were always the mediscine for me troubled s...

Mulligan runs by Captain carrying a spyglass with a red cloth wrapped around one end.

Captain: Where are you going you great poop!

Mulligan: I'm going up to the highest point of the ship to clear me head and think of new codes.

Captain: Sit down. You know you ain't allowed in the crows nest.

Mulligan: But I loves it.

Captain shoots the spyglass out of Mulligan's hands.

Bird: Forty-eight armies!

Crothers: That "forty-eight armies" is the code I thunk up, and I ain't letting you steal it.

Mulligan: Ah. I have the code of all codes. But it's so good it can't be put into words. Where's my crayons. Ah. My sweet crayolees.

Captain: Heave to you infernal buggers. This meeting is supposed to be mysterious and secret like.

Black Tom shouts, raises his arm and disappears in a flash of fire and smoke.

Crothers: Hooray! Mysterious and secret like at the same time.

Mulligan: Done.

They all look down at the drawing made by Mulligan.

Mulligan: There it is the code of all codes.

Captain: Be that a foot?

Mulligan: Yeah, your foot.

Captain smashes bottle on Mulligan's head.

Crothers: Ha ha ha.

Captain: Tracing me foot. Why don't we all prance up to the top deck, lock arms, and riverdance off the rotten plank.

Bird: Central Park. Start in Central Park.

Mulligan: No, it's Pentral Park. Start in Pentral Park.

Bird: Park.. Cent...would you...Bawk..Arghh!

Captain grabs Bird and runs screaming to the cannon stuffing Bird inside.

Captain: Start [garbled]

Bird: Arghh!

Captain continues garbled muttering as he heads back to table - is there a message hidden in this audio?

Captain: Red hell and bloody death! Why don't we just hoist the flag what tells every spy between wind and water where to find us and how to listen to our secrets?

Episode Two Transcript

Okay, here is the transcript for Episode Two:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Two

The Chase

Mr. Nigel: It's a fine day to be at sea Mr. Gibson.

Mr. Gibson: Quite right Mr. Nigel. But it's such a bother to spend the evening chasing these pirates. What what.

Mr. Nigel: Shall we deal them a blow with the old aft cannon?

Mr. Gibson: Jolly good idea that.

Mr. Nigel: Would you care to light it Mr. Gibson?

Mr. Gibson: Good of you old boy, but let's light it together shall we?

Mr. Nigel: Fine idea that. What what.

Mr. Gibson: Oh, thank you Mr. Nigel.

Mr. Nigel: Oh, no thank you Mr. Gibson.

Cannonball strikes the Maddie Hayes.

Captain: Mulligan, hoisting that flag we stole off a merchant vessel won't fool 'em. Know that we're pirates they do.

Mulligan: I don't wanna sink. And that swim. We cannot fight that British two-decker Captain!

Captain: Mulligan, 'tis almost dusk. Let fly the sail, we'll lose them in the gloom of night. Crothers, fire a cannonball o'er her bridge, south by southwest. And Tom, for the sake of clue type order here's where you be insertin' your words from the last video.

Black Tom: Hai.

Crothers: Did [Black Tom: Hai.] he say west or southwest? All I hear be screamin'.

Mulligan screaming above deck.

Captain: Stand fast Mulligan. This ain't your first dance with old lady cannonball.

Mulligan: It's not Captain. That's what makes it so horrible. But this is just like the time the French blew a hole in the cabin.

Captain: Mever mind the French now Tutty. You just have your nap.

Cannonball strikes Tutty resting in crib.

Captain: Tutty. Augh! Augh!

Mulligan: Nonono. Nononono. Captain. Captain. It's okay. It's okay. Look. Crothers and me switched Tutty with a potato. Huh, potato.

Crothers: Tom. Tom. Tom!

Black Tom: Oh. Oh, komoji! [phonetic - komoji means lower case in Japanese]

Crothers sets cannon to shoot into the Maddie Hayes by accident. Cannon fires and causes cannon to fall out of ship into water.

Mulligan: But Captain, somebody should be up in that crow's nest and that somebody should be me.

Captain: Mulligan, I'd sooner cut off my tattoo what says Tutty, before I'd see you up in that crow's nest. Crothers, fire south. Aim below their bridge.

Mulligan: I'm the first mate. Why'd you make me the first mate if I can't go up in that crow's nest.

Captain: You think I'd be giving that job to Crothers?

Crothers: Me arm's stuck. Tom. Help. What be that sword for Tom?

Black Tom raises sword and poses. Anime style interlude begins wherein Black Tom cuts off Crothers' sleeves, freeing his arms in the process.

Narrator: Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ichi. Ni. San. Shi.

Black Tom: [Japanese sounding nonsense]

Mulligan: Oh, I'm so scared Captain. I think I gotta pee.

Captain: That better be code talk, ya nancy. Sodder me jiggers. They're getting close enough for boardin'. I'll get us a brace of pistols, Mulligan. We'll shoot 'em as they come. Oh, I am so excited. Shooting boarders in the face be one of me favorite things. Argh me favorite things. Argh...

Mulligan: Okay. Mulligan, you just gotta hold off 'till dark. And that's all you gotta do. Alright. Alright.

Mulligan looks through spyglass at British ship.

Mulligan: Oh. That lieutenant on the foredeck is giving the sign of victory. Oh, wait. He's just a kid. Not so bad. Agh. And there are four guys behind him. That's kinda bad. Augh. And smoldering cannons of destruction. Oh, this is bad! Bad!

Mulligan throws spyglass overboard.

Mulligan: Peace, courage, fortitude and justice mateys. I am your friend, I am.

The British start shooting at Mulligan. Twelve shots in total.

Mulligan: Waugh. Augh. Waugh. Whoa. Waugh. Waugh. Wa-waugh.

Captain goes below deck where there are smoke and sparks all around.

Captain: Skills in thy smell. Huh, is huh [garbled]

Crothers: Waugh ho ho ho. Knocked the sleeves off the miracle friend [garbled]

Black Tom: [muttering]

Bird: Augh! Augh!

Captain: Mr. God, I am not the prayin' sort, but I will try it now. What we need God type feller be a miracle.

Closeup on Black Tom who is holding a fire extinguisher. He blasts out of the lower deck and flies through the air covered by a yellow aura/glow, while an anime style interlude begins showing him flying into outer space.

Narrator: Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ha! Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Yeah! Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ha! Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Ichi means one. In Japanese. And ni means two. In Japanese. And San means three. In Japanese. And Shi means four in Japanese.

Black Tom: Ichi. Ni. San. Shi. Doooooo!

[i]Black Tom points at sun and makes it explode. Mulligan is shown still on the top deck watching the explosion fade and looking confused.

Captain: Quiet down, they're still close by. Be everyone safely below?

Crothers: Aye.

Black Tom: Hai.

Mulligan: Whew. Uh-whoa. Whoa. Hello everybody, where am I?

Captain: Don't worry mates. [strange voice used to signify clues: Our last heading were for the silver coast of Africa.]

Crothers: I smells the smells of a fuse burning I do.

Cannon with fuse lit is shown while all the puppets exclaim or scream in astonishment.

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Three

The Larry King

Background music for The Larry King show starts. Graphic showing THE LARRY KING is shown.

Larry King: Tonight. Exclusive. A treasure chest filled with ten thousand dollars in gold coins is buried somewhere in New York City. The men behind this phenomenon appear to be pirates. There are four in their crew and they say that they lost their gold. Many are calling it a hoax. Others are desperately searching for what could be the first real buried treasure in New York City's history.

During Larry King's speech above, the THE LARRY KING show graphic merges into a montage showing scenes from previous videos, including a pan and scan shot of the pirates sitting at a table, the chest of gold coins, a sped up night shot of Manhattan skyline taken from the water, closeups of Mulligan, Black Tom, Crothers, and the Captain firing a pistol, pan and scan shots of two stills showing all four pirates, a scrolling page of Facebook comments, and closeup shots of the gold.

Camera switches to view showing three pirate feeds and Larry King's and Mario's feeds below.

Captain: Ha har!

Mario: You are horrible people.

Camera switches to the Captain's feed and caption changes to read: BREAKING NEWS. WLGHD. FACT OR FICTION? TREASURE HUNT IN NYC. The Captain is holding a photograph and looking at it.

Captain: And this, be a pitcher of Tutty [sniffs], me only truest friend.

Camera switches to view showing three pirate feeds and Larry King's and Mario's feeds below.

Mulligan: Oh. Show 'em the picture of me in the crow's nest would ya?

Camera switches to the Captain's feed and caption changes to read: BREAKING NEWS. WLGHD. BURIED TREASURE. SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK CITY.

Captain: There ain't no such pitcher and there never will be!

Fafa appears in a new feed in a box with a blue background above the pirates's boxes holding a videotape. The order of the pirates' feeds is the Captain on the far left with an orange background, then Mulligan and the Bird to the right with an orange background, followed by Crothers with a yellow background, and lastly Black Tom with a yellow background (who is seen in a feed for the first time here).

Fafa: Hey, wait a minute. How'd I get up here? Is this some sort of clue?

Ticker: IF YOU WIN, YOU OWE US A DRINK. NOT THAT WE CONDONE DRINKING EITHER. WE MEANT A MILKSHAKE ANYWAY- IF MR. L.

All the pirates start grumbling and shushing Fafa, while Mario joins Fafa in the box above the pirates.

Mario: That's right. [Camera switches to Fafa's feed and caption changes to read: BREAKING NEWS. WLGHD. FACT OR FICTION? TREASURE HUNT IN NYC.] Watch out pirates. We're on the right track. Heh heh. We're like the Hardy Boys.

Fafa: Ha ha ha.

Camera switches to view showing Fafa's feed and pirates' feeds below.

The pirates continue grumbling while the background music for the Larry King show starts up again.

Larry King: To review, a lost treasure chest [Camera switches to Larry King's feed and caption changes to read: BREAKING NEWS. WLGHD. BURIED TREASURE. SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK CITY.] containing ten thousand dollars may actually be buried somewhere in New York City.

Ticker: SMOKE ANYTHING. DO NOT EAT, UNLESS WATER IS AVAILABLE. UNLESS IT'S BACON. - IF YOU SPENT THIS WHOLE EPISODE READING THE TICKER, THE BAD NEWS IS YOU MISSED THE CLUES. THE GOOD

Camera switches to view showing Fafa's feed and pirates' feeds below. They are still grumbling and talking.

Larry King: The collective intelligence of these individuals makes me believe that their story is indeed a true one.

Camera switches to Larry King's feed and caption changes to read: BREAKING NEWS. WLGHD. FACT OR FICTION? TREASURE HUNT IN NYC.

Larry King: My only hope, that someone finds it or they do. Thanks for watching the Larry King. I'm King Larry and good night.

Caption changes to read: BREAKING NEWS. WLGHD. BURIED TREASURE. SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK CITY. Camera starts to pull back revealing the Bird sitting at the desk to the left of Larry King.

Ticker: NEWS IS THERE WILL BE A QUIZ, AND YOU ARE PREPARED! - 'APPLE VS. PICKLE' PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT CANCELED DUE TO BACKLASH BY OUTRAGED

Larry King and the Bird are both surprised to see each other and after they each do a few double takes the Bird walks off stage right as the video changes to show THE LARRY KING graphic.

Ticker: PARENTS, AND STATE REFUSAL TO HOST SUCH A VIOLENT EVENT.

The screen fades to black showing welostourgold.com and the background music ends.

Mulligan: Hey Captain, do you think they realize that we was slippin' in clues?

Captain: Well they did now ya great moron! I hates ya more than I hates Jared from the bloomin' sandwich commercials.

Perhaps given a choice between two alternatives -- one on the left and the right -- you are supposed to choose the right.

Episode Four Transcript

Below is the transcript for the fourth episode:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Four

The Black Tom

Black Tom is shown standing in front of a pale yellow background. To his upper left are four Japanese characters [北部 - roughly pronounced hokubu] which have been reversed horizontally. The first two characters are the kanji symbols for "North." The last two characters mean "section, bureau, dept, class, copy, part, portion, or counter for copies of a newspaper or magazine."

Black Tom: [speaking backwards] Sometimes to follow the way, you must avoid the way you've known. [Click here to listen to the reversed audio.]

Black Tom looks to stage right, perhaps up at the reversed Japanese characters to his upper left, then walks off stage left.

Title card stating CLUE 41 on a black background slides down from above. Crothers walks in front of title card from stage left. An eye patch covers his right eye, he is not wearing his blue hat, his left arm has been replaced with a wooden prosthesis and he is supported by a crutch under his right arm.

Crothers: Why this ain't right. Well that didn't tell me nothin'. Well this be insultin' to the whole video. You bloomin' video makers can't end this here episode like that.

Smash cut to title card displaying CLUE 42. After a beat the title card is replaced with CLUE 28. After another beat (FURLONGS) is displayed below CLUE 28.

Crothers climbs up from below the title card.

Crothers: Augh. Now you've gone too far.

Smash cut to title card displaying CLUE 43 with Crothers appearing in the lower right corner.

Crothers: Stop that.

Smash cut to title card displaying welostourgold.com. Crothers is in the top left corner, but reversed horizontally and vertically.

Crothers: Augh.

Episode Five Transcript

Here is the transcript for Episode Five:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Five

The WPPPT

Country music plays as a montage sequence starts cutting between shots of the skyline of Las Vegas at night, generic scenes of gambling, and shots of a pile of gold coins surrounding a trophy of a severed hand with gloveandboots.com painted on the wall behind the trophy and coins.

Narrator 1: Las Vegas. Home of the infamous Dead Man's Hand poker tournament. The game is Texas Hold 'Em. The prize is a mountain of gold doubloons. And the time to win it all is right now. Tonight only four players remain, all of them intent on taking home that coveted trophy.

The video switches to closeup of Mulligan in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: The rookie with the Cinderella story.

Mulligan is now shown sitting at a poker table with stacks of chips in front of him, holding a sandwich, with a sign behind him advertising Bear's Brown Cola! It's Tops! A caption is displayed reading: MULLIGAN. WPPPT. LAST PLACE FIVE YEARS IN A ROW.

The caption, like all the other captions in this video are shown in yellow and gray boxes superimposed on top of an image of the front side of a presidential dollar coin.

Mulligan: Thank you lucky sandwich.

The video switches to a closeup of Crothers in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: The bully from Great Britain.

Crothers is now shown sitting at a poker table with neatly stacked chips in front of him, holding a cutlass in his left hand with which he is menacing a decapitated puppet head on the table wearing a hat, with a sign behind him advertising RAM O' CAM. PUTS THE "B" IN YOUR MOVIE. AVAILABLE NOW AT S&R CAMERAS. A caption is displayed reading: CROTHERS. STOLEN 15 WPPPT CHAMPIONSHIP BRACELETS.

Crothers: Hey, nice hat! Where's your legs?

The video switches to a closeup of the Captain in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: The man that refuses to lose.

Captain is now shown sitting in front of a red poster advertising the website marchingdog.com while holding two playing cards burning in his left hand - a Queen of Hearts and a Queen of Clubs. A caption is displayed reading: CAPTAIN. WPPPT. RECORD HOLDER - MOST DEALERS SHOT.

Captain: I hates me cards.

The video switches to a closeup of Black Tom in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: And the veteran who makes his own luck.

Black Tom is now shown sitting at a poker table with a messy stack of poker chips in front of him, and a yellow poster advertising the website www.doggieacademy.com behind him. A caption is displayed reading: TOM. FAVORITE TOM JONES SONG: DELILAH.

Black Tom: Woo hoo.

The video cycles between closeup shots of Mulligan, Crothers, the Captain and Black Tom in front of blue curtain.

Narrator 1: Who will be our new champion?

The video switches to various shots showing gold coins surrounding the severed hand trophy with the gloveandboots.com banner displayed in the background.

Narrator 1: Who will walk away with the severed hand of a dead sailor?

The video switches to various shots showing Las Vegas at night, then zooms in on a video of a hand dealing cards on poker table, and cuts to an animated title graphic for the WORLD PUPPET PIRATE POKER TOUR.

Narrator 1: The final table, next on the WPPPT.

A country music lick is heard as a graphic of a playing card reading DEAD MAN'S HAND and showing the severed hand trophy appears on screen then zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the feed to a view of Mulligan, the Captain, Black Tom and Crothers sitting at a poker table with posters behind them.

Narrator 2: Let's get right into the action here Billy and at the Dead's Man Hand tournament that can mean more than just cards.

A poker dealer is shown approaching the table and begins to shuffle a deck of cards showing a Five of Spades as the bottom card.

Captain: You're the dealer what dealt me seven deuce four huns in a row!

The scene shifts to show the Captain from the right side of the dealer as he draws a gun from under the table with his left hand and fires at the dealer.

Dealer: Woo hoo hoo!

Crothers: And bring us more grog.

Captain: Har!

Crothers: Ha ha ha.

Captain: Crothers what say we make a side bet on this next hand.

Crothers: Mmmhmmm.

Captain: Whoever's cards be better than t'other, he cuts the loser's arm off.

Crothers: I am agreed, I am.

Another dealer approaches the table and begins shuffling the cards.

Narrator 1/Billy: Let's take a look at the chip count.

While the dealer distributes cards to the Captain and Crothers in the background, a graphic appears reading:

WPPT

BEAR'S BROWN COLA! CHIP COUNT

1. MULLIGAN $4810.00
2. TOM $1984.00
3. CAPTAIN $1869.00
4. CROTHERS $1337.00

Narrator 1/Billy: Mulligan's in the lead with just under half the coins in play followed by Tom with nearly two thousand...

Captain: I have the Jack of Diamonds and the Queen of Spades. Whaddaya got?

A caption appears showing the players' cards.

Crothers: Just the five and six of Diamonds. Welp fair be fair. 'Tis lucky I'm drunk.

Captain: You is me good friend.

Crothers: Aww.

Captain: So I will chop low and with me sharpest type blade.

The Captain pulls a cutlass out from under the table with his left hand and chops off Crothers' left arm. The audience makes gasping noises and other concerned sounds. Crothers screams in pain while the Captain picks up Crothers' left hand and tosses it over his left shoulder.

Narrator 1/Billy: Looks like the first hand goes to the Captain. Sometimes you don't need luck or skill to win as we learn from this week's...

The video switches to an animated graphic showing dollar coins rotating above a wooden background, while a graphic of a playing card reading FEATURED PLAYER and showing a drawing of a skull appears on screen.

Deep Voice: FEATURED PLAYER

The playing card graphic zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the video to a view of the Captain sitting on a red sofa in front of a fuzzy blue wall, intercut with various other scenes of the Captain at the poker table.

Captain: Of course you gamble when you're a pirate. Ha ha ha! Gamblin' is like drinking or stealing or shootin' your mate in the face.

The video of the Captain shooting the dealer is replayed.

Captain: Har ha har har har har. I can't count with all me fingers how many players I've shot what brought a lucky charm to the table. Har har har har har har...

The video switches to a scene of the Captain holding a box of tissues tearfully.

Captain: Waugh ho. I only shot them blokes on accounts I were jealous. Ohhhh. Tutty were me lucky charm and the only hand I won without him weren't even for money.

The video switches to a scene of the Captain blowing his nose on the red sofa.

Captain: Were for that blasted parrot.

The video switches to show the Bird sitting on the red sofa.

Bird: Bawk!

The video switches back to the Captain on the red sofa, now reclining as if in a therapy session.

Captain: I'll tell you me worst poker type loss. T'were the time the giant turtle came crawlin' through the winder and he swallered me cards and the table! But the table were a keg of gunpowder and he blew us all to smithereens! Ha ha!

Sound of camera flash and a video transition sequence is shown to indicate a cut in the scene.

Captain: Bollocks to luck! Since I won that parrot me good luck hit the end of the line. Lady luck's gone back the other direction and I'm up to me collar in turds!

The video switches to a swish pan shot of the severed hand trophy and stacks of chips and cards on a poker table in front of a blue curtain, then cuts to a shot of the severed hand trophy alone on the table. A graphic of a playing card reading DEAD MAN'S HAND and showing the severed hand trophy appears on screen then zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the video to a view of the Captain, Black Tom and Crothers at the poker table with posters behind them.

Narrator 2: Back to action here at the Dead Man's Hand tournament and it's anybody's guess who will take home the prize.

The video switches to show Black Tom's point of view as he checks his hole cards - a Jack of Spades and a Jack of Clubs. Captions appear on the bottom of the screen showing Black Tom's cards as well as the community cards and the size of the pot in dollars - currently $400.

Narrator 1/Billy: Tom checks his hole cards. With that pair of Jacks he will raise.

The pot increases to $550 with Black Tom's raise and he is shown as having a 100% chance of winning the pot. The video switches to show Crothers checking his hole cards - a King of Diamonds and an eight of Clubs.

Narrator 1/Billy: Crothers with a King, eight.

Crothers: Call!

With Crothers' call the pot is now $600, a 27% chance of winning the pot is listed for Crothers, while Black Tom's chance of victory falls to 72%. The video switches to show Mulligan checking his hole cards - an Ace of Spades and a card that reads HOLY MACKEREL and displays a drawing of a yellow fish wearing a mitre with a cross and holding a staff topped with a cross.

Narrator 2: Something's wrong with Mulligan, Bob. He's checking his hole cards again and there's a ...

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob: What is that?

Narrator 2: Well I do believe that was a Go Fish card James.

Mulligan: Oh, I call! Oh yeah! I call for sure!

The pot increases to $750 with Mulligan's call, his chance of victory is listed as ??? and Crothers' and Black Tom's odds remain unchanged. The video switches to show the Captain checking his hole cards - a three of Spades, four of Spades, and five of Spades.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James: Now the Captain's hole cards. He has a three, a four, and a f-five of Spades. That's definitely one card too many.

Narrator 2: That extra card assures that he is not gonna fold John. And that he's cheating.

Captain: Call... is what I do.

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - presumably indignation at the Captain's cheating - sounds like "who le sayo toyo chino."]

Captain: Quit yer bellyachin' Tom. I ain't the one dealin'.

The pot is now $1000 with the Captain's call. The Captain is listed as having a 40% chance of victory, Black Tom's chances fall to 46%, and Crothers' odds drop to 13%. The video switches to a top down view of the poker table as the dealer turns over the flop cards revealing a Queen of Hearts, a King of Hearts, and a six of Spades. Black Tom's odd drop to 5%, Crothers' odds rise to 61%, and the Captain's odds fall to 33%.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John: Well we're four players to the flop and it's Queen, King, six. That gives Crothers a pair of Kings and puts the Captain one card away from a straight flush.

The video switches to show Black Tom as he pushes his entire stack of chips towards the center of the table.

Narrator 2: Things certainly are heating up mister. Tom is first to act.

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - presumably saying he is all in - sounds like "nino ter kay."]

The pot increases to $2734 when Black Tom goes all in.

Narrator 2: Oh and he is all in with two Jacks. That is a dangerous bluff with the higher King and Queen on the board. That makes this our...

The video switches to show marchingdog.com on a wooden background surrounded by gold coins. A graphic of a playing card reading ALL IN! marchingdog.com and showing five gold coins appears on screen.

Narrator 2: Marchingdog.com all in moment.

The graphic of the playing card zooms in towards the viewer as a right wipe transition changes the video back to a view of the Captain, Black Tom and Crothers at the poker table with posters behind them.

Narrator 2: Crothers is quick to call and that'll put all of his chips on the line.

The pot is increased to $3821 as Crothers pushes his stack of chips towards the center of the poker table using his left stump.

Narrator 2: Mulligan doesn't look like he knows what to do.

The video switches to show Mulligan deciding what to do. He is inadvertently showing the other players his cards.

Mulligan: Oh. I got an Ace, and a Mackerel. And those are really good cards. And do I want to fold good cards like an Ace? And who knows the next time I'm gonna get a card like a Mackerel?

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy: Is he telling the other players the cards in his hands?

Narrator 2: It certainly appears that way Jimmy.

The video switches to Black Tom's perspective checking his hole cards again, as they change to a Queen of Spades and a Queen of Clubs. Black Tom's odds rise to 69%, Crothers' odds drop to 0%, and the Captain's odds fall to 30%.

Narrator 2: Oh looks like Tom's cheating as well Carol.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: That's right. I have no clue how he did it, but he traded his Jacks for Queens.

Captain: I wants to call. Make up yer mind ya great sissy!

Mulligan: Oh, I call!

The pot increases to $5555 as Mulligan goes all in, pushing his stack of chips into the center of the poker table. A silver iPod can be seen in front of Mulligan as he pushes his chips into the center of the table.

Mulligan: Uh. Oh boy! I called! I CALLED!

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: Mulligan now in a deep hole with half of his chips at risk here.

The video switches to show the Captain pushing his stack of chips into the center of the table. The pot increases to $7174.

Captain: Ha ha ha! Ha har!

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: And the Captain calls right behind him which will put everyone all in.

Captain: Two or a seven! Two or a seven!

Crothers: Kings!

Captain: Two! Seven!

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - presumably calling for Queens.]

Mulligan: FISH!

Crothers: KINGS!

The video switches to a top down view of the poker table as the dealer flips the turn card to reveal a HOLY MACKEREL card. There is a smattering of applause from the audience. Mulligan's odds change to 1% while everyone else's chance of victory remains unchanged.

Mulligan: Woohoo!

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: Aw, I should have seen that coming.

Narrator 2: And this is why the Dead Man's Hand tournament is my favorite event to cover Wynona.

The video switches to a view of the poker table with the Bird sitting on top of it.

Bird: Double down. Double down.

Captain: Curse ya bird! Get the blazes off the table.

Bird: Aaaah! Ha ha ha. Bawk bawk bawk!

Captain: Come on.

The video switches back to the top down view, now with the Bird sitting on top of the stack of chips.

Dealer: That's discard. Good luck gentlemen.

The dealer distributes and turns the river card to reveal an eight of Diamonds. Loud exclamations are heard from the audience. Black Tom's chance of victory changes to 100% while everyone else's odds drop to 0%.

Narrator 2: Eight of Diamonds. That doesn't help anybody and Tom wins the pot.

The video switches to a closeup of Black Tom then back to a shot of the entire table to reveal the Captain placing a round bomb with a lit fuse on the table.

Captain: See ya in hell eight of Diamonds!

The video switches to a closeup of the bomb as the fuse burns down, and then doesn't explode.

Bird: Wauuuuuuugh... huh?

The bomb explodes in a flash of smoke and knocks the Bird off of the poker table.

Narrator 2: Who says cheaters never win John? Tom knocks out the Captain and Crothers with those three Queens.

Mysterious music begins to play as the video zooms in towards the center of the table.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol/Wynona: Hold on. That blast made by the Captain seems to have exposed something in the center of the table Gary.

The video dissolves to a top down view of the poker table showing a stone disk sunk into the center of the table under the felt. Raised on the stone are the image of a grinning skull inscribed within a compass or ship's wheel with eight spokes.

Narrator 2/Gary: You're right Lance there's definitely something hidden just under the felt.

The stone disk rotates counter-clockwise approximately 22.5�, or about half the distance towards the next spoke.

Mulligan: What is it?

Captain: Fills me with fear it does.

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - sounds like "sendai sayonata."]

Crothers: I gotta take a crap.

The video switches back to a shot showing the entire poker table as country music begins to play. Crothers walks away from the table towards the camera and then turns to head off stage right.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol/Wynona/Lance: It's what makes poker the fastest growing sport in the world today. Winners, losers, hands folded, arms chopped off, bombs, skulls, grog and fish. For Leslie Sebastian Charles, I'm Al Lukovich. Thanks for joining us here at the WPPPT.

A graphic of a playing card reading DEAD MAN'S HAND and showing the severed hand trophy appears on screen very briefly then zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the video to a view of welostourgold.com displayed on a black background, while a country music lick plays.

[END OF VIDEO]

For ease of reference the final card graphic shown is:
Crothers with a King of Diamonds and eight of Clubs in the upper left, Mulligan with an Ace of Spades and a HOLY MACKEREL to his right. Black Tom is below Crothers with a Queen of Clubs and Queen of Spades. To the right of Black Tom is the Captain with a three of Spades, four of Spades, and a five of Spades. Finally to the right of the Captain are the community cards which are a Queen of Hearts, a King of Hearts, a six of Spades, a HOLY MACKEREL, and an eight of Diamonds. The pot is $7174.

And the standings after this hand would be:
1. TOM $7174.00
2. MULLIGAN $2826.00
3. CAPTAIN $0.00
4. CROTHERS $0.00

Maps and other images

This post will function as a repository of all the maps that have been created by others and myself. I will keep this post updated as new maps are made so we can easily keep track of all the maps.

My first Google map.

My second Google map with an incorrect interpretation of Black Tom's number clues.

My third Google map - a refined version of the above.

My fourth map taking into account the lamppost numbers found by czg22 - before she was able to pin down their actual location.

RoBeastRollie's Google map.

My fifth map reflecting the actual locations of two of the lampposts as found by czg22.

My sixth map (another Google map) reflecting the Chess & Checkers house instead of the incorrect Grand Army Plaza solution.

My seventh map showing the same solution as above, but also including the two confirmed lamppost locations.

My eighth map plotting the location of the final lamppost after it was confirmed by czg22.

mlssry's Google map.

My ninth map, based on a great map found by mlssry which shows Central Park with a great level of detail.

My tenth map reflecting the clues found in the second episode, and in particular, the solution for "silver coast of Africa" found by SoloJoe.

Episode Six Transcript

Below is the transcript for the sixth episode:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Six

The Monkey Business

Mr. Nigel, a red crab wearing a black bowler hat is pictured scuttling sideways on a beach, while humming to himself.

Mr. Nigel: Morningsy.

He is approached from stage right by Mr. Gibson, another red crab, wearing a white driver's cap and a large black moustache. He stops in front of a bottle of vitamins that is resting on the sand to the left of Mr. Nigel.

Mr. Gibson: Oh yes yes. Good morning Mr. Nigel.

Mr. Nigel: Oh good morning Mr. Gibson. Would you care for some toast and marmalade.

Mr. Gibson: No no. Good of you, old boy, but no toast for me until after I have taken my vitamins.

Mr. Nigel: Don't eat those vitamins. There's too much aluminium in 'em.

Mr. Gibson: Oh yes. Quite right that. Oh, ho chortle. Aluminium.

Mr. Nigel: Oh ho ho ho. Ho ho ho. Aluminium in 'em. Ho ho.

While they are laughing over the aluminium gag, a monkey appears on the beach behind them and makes a vocalization, causing Mr. Nigel and Mr. Gibson to suddenly become startled and start screaming. Mr. Gibson scuttles away off stage right, while Mr. Nigel scuttles backwards out of sight.

The monkey appears annoyed at their having run off but then looks at the sand at his feet and notices the corner of a comic book poking through the sand. He scrapes away the sand obscuring the top of the comic book, to reveal that the comic is drawn in the style of the bronze age era of American comics, is titled WE LOST OUR GOLD, with a date of September 6 and a price of 10,000 L/$. Stylized drawings of the heads of the Bird, Crothers, the Captain, Mulligan and Black Tom are arrayed on an orange background in the upper left corner of the comic's cover.

Pleased at his discovery, the monkey makes more vocalizations and unburies the comic completely to open the cover and view the first two pages.

On the first page (the reverse of the cover) is an advertisement for a series of collectible trading cards issued by the creators of the WE LOST OUR GOLD comic.

The advertisement features a drawing of ARTHUR the SCOTSMAN wielding a mattock emblazoned on a red rectangular wrapper stating WE LOST OUR GOLD and INCLUDES I5 TRADING CARDS!!! HOT DIGGITY!

Below the red rectangle the advertisement states:

Quote:

JUST TRY TO KEEP THESE CARDS UNDER WRAPS!

NEW FROM WE LOST OUR GOLD COMICS!!! All of your friends are going to want these... and with characters like ARTHUR the SCOTSMAN, TUTTY*, GENERAL ANESTHETIC, and GHAST GHOULO, they aren't going to last long! Espically because guess how many packs we made? NONE!

*THE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE AND SPEED STATS ON THE TUTTY CARD ARE A MIS-PRINT. THEY SHOULD ALL READ 18.

You know [obscured] down here because no one ever reads it. 1975. But you have to put in [obscured] looks legit. And occasionally written in CAPS. But you [obscured] tragity there [obscured] SOCK. Oh well, opertunity lost.

The second page of the comic features the beginning of a story titled "THE MONKEY-BUSINESS!!!" which starts with a half-page drawing of Crothers (with an eye-patch over his right eye, no blue hat, no sleeves, and a wooden left arm prosthesis. The dialogue panels state: "CROTHERS. HE AIN'T THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES. BUT WHAT HE DOES I LIKES IT.

The monkey turns the page to display the third and fourth pages of the comic and exclaims in mild shock at the third page, which features an advertisement for the mail ordering of comic books. The advertisement states "1994 PRICES in 2010!" at the top of the page, and below that "GET 3 COMICS FOR THE PRICE OF 2." Further below a list of titles are displayed in an orange rectangle with the heading "GROUP I" and "$15.00 TITLES (12 ISSUES)". Below the orange rectangle is a yellow rectangle displaying "GROUP II" and "SPECIAL PRICES (12 ISSUES). At the bottom of the page is the same sort of joke disclaimer text that was found on the bottom of the first page. Meanwhile, the fourth page features the continuation of the comic's story.

The monkey turns the page again to reveal the fifth and sixth pages of the comic. The fifth page features another advertisement, this time for T shirts. The advertisement states:

Quote:

CLASSIC W.L.O.G. T'S!!!

100% NATURAL, CONVENTION READY, GREEN, DORKY T'S FROM WE LOST OUR GOLD! Are they cheap? NO! Do they cost us 50 cents to make overseas? YES! But we are Hell bent on giving you something original, at least you can say that for these here T-shirts! They are so original we made them up! And you can't actually buy one!!!

On the sixth page the comic's story continues and suddenly the video zooms into a closeup panning view of the comic's story panels as voice actors read the characters' dialogue to dramatize the story.

The panel shown depicts Mulligan and Crothers battling a very large serpent in a graveyard. A gravestone is shown in the foreground reading "9-29-1758 10-21-1805 WITH ALL RESPECT".

Mulligan: Hnuf! All four of us could defeat it, but...

Crothers: We have to try!!!

The next panel shows Mulligan being choked by a segment of the serpent's body which has wrapped itself around his neck.

Mulligan: UALUEALUEALUEALE!!!

The next panel shows Crothers being knocked into the ground by the serpent's body as the sound effect "WHUMP!" is displayed. Another gravestone can be seen in the foreground reading "E.C.S. 1984 - 1938".

In the next panel Crothers is seen getting up from the ground and the Captain is just visible in the distance behind him.

Crothers: Hold fast, Mulligan!!! Even if they stopped at the next port, following a close compass heading to ours should put them...

The next panel shows a closeup of the Captain's face and a gravestone can be seen in the foreground reading "RIP N. HOPE. 5-1977 8-1997". To the captain left and behind him Black Tom is leaping towards the action while holding a sword in his left hand. A note explains that Black Tom's dialogue is "* Translated from the Japanese dialect - DEJ".

Captain: Put em right behind ye!

Black Tom: My blade shall singe like Nobunaga fire!!!

The action suddenly stops as the scene shifts back to the monkey's perspective. He is excited and turns the page to reveal the seventh and eighth pages of the comic both of which feature the story. The action jumps back into the perspective of the comic.

The next panel is a full half-page and depicts Black Tom and the Captain joining the fray and attacking the serpent as various chopping sounds, ninja-type noises, and gunfire sound effects are played. In the foreground Crothers is also fighting the serpent and his yells and groans can be heard as well. As a result of their efforts, Mulligan is released by the serpent and he falls to the ground.

The next panel shows Crothers pummeling the defeated serpent and an inset panel shows Mulligan rubbing his head on the ground while Black Tom poses behind him.

Mulligan: Oh boy oh boy, I thought that was the end...

Black Tom: To catch up to you is destiny... when our paths are meant to be one.

The scene briefly shifts back to the monkey who seems concerned about the fate of the crew. Then the action returns to the comic in progress, now on the first panel of the eighth page, which displays Mulligan and the Captain on the deck of the MADDIE HAYES. Mulligan is daydreaming about being in the Crow's nest and the Captain, below him, is daydreaming about pushing Mulligan out of the Crow's nest.

Narrator: Soon the crew was on deck, and the ship was underway..

The next panel depicts Black Tom climbing a wooden beam high above the deck, looking out towards the sun on the horizon.

Narrator: Knowing that together, not beast, nor weather, nor man could stop them.

The next panel shows the prow of the MADDIE HAYES as it cuts through the water. The prow features a carved wooden figurehead of a woman with her right arm pointing straight along the line formed by the vessel's bowsprit.

The action cuts back to the monkey again, who still looks concerned, before cutting back to the comic in progress.

The bottom panel of the eighth page of the comic shows a number of armed British soldiers dressed in traditional 18th century redcoat uniforms, standing on a beach. The soldiers appear to be lead by an unnamed central figure with brown hair who wears a gold wedding band on his left ring finger. In the distance behind the soldiers are two keeps or forts on two hills on either side of them.

Narrator: But knowing not what stood between them and their destination.

British Soldier: I'll kiss Napoleon before I see pirates leave any zone armed with Britain's best fortifications! Let them come!!!

The video cuts back to the monkey, who is now very excited about the story in the comic. He turns the page to reveal the ninth and tenth pages of the comic.

The ninth page is an advertisement featuring GENERAL ANESTHETIC's tooth cleaning workout kit. It states:

Quote:

IT TAKES MORE THAN A GREAT SMILE TO VANQUISH EVIL, KIDDIES..

GENERAL ANESTHETIC

P.O. BOX 294, CASPER, WY, 82602

BUY ONE! BUY ONE!

* product not actually endorced by General Anesthetic.

(FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, PLEASE CALL 307-275-1033)

The monkey scans the advertisement closely and decides to purchase the product. He tears the advertisement from the comic and walks to a white metal mailbox with a red flag that is nearby on the beach. He places the ad into the mailbox and waits impatiently for the product to be delivered. The delivery is indicated by the raising of the red flag.

Once the product arrives (shipped in a rectangular cardboard box with GENERAL ANESTHETIC's logo) the monkey starts to consume the product by pouring it into his mouth. After a moment he is transformed into the Gorilla!

The scene shifts to the interior of the MADDIE HAYES where all of the pirates are gathered.

Captain: That be the most ridiculous gullible whale excrement I ever set me eyes on. Har!

Mulligan: That's not it. That can't be the whole skit. Unless that's the whole skit and then I guess it can.

Crothers: I kinda like that video.

Captain: Shut it, you!

Crothers: No, I liked the way it were drawn, makin' me all heavy muskled!

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - sounds like "oy subodai"] GORILLA HAS COME!!!

The same scene below deck on the MADDIE HAYES is now shown in comic book form and the characters' most recent lines are repeated in the comic's voice acting style. The view of the comic shifts to show the right side of the panel revealing that the Gorilla is below deck as well and is about to attack the crew.

Gorilla: BLLRAAPHAAR!

The next panel depicts the fray between the Gorilla and the crew members. The Captain and Black Tom are attacking the Gorilla without apparent effect, while the Gorilla is biting a portrait of Tutty, and has grabbed hold of Crothers' right leg.

Gorilla: WAARRGGG!

Captain: He has me pitcher o' Tutty!!

Black Tom: My throwing stars have no effect!

Crothers: He has me leg!!!

The next panel shows the continuation of the battle between the Gorilla and the crew. It is confirmed that Crothers' right leg has been torn off by the Gorilla.

Gorilla: RRAAARRHH!

Captain: Aim for his WHUUFFF!

Crothers: I'll stomp you with me one leg!!!

Mulligan: [thinking] I can't look...well, I can, but I don' wanna, cause either there's a gorilla in the cabin...

The next panel shows Mulligan on a black background continuing his thought from the previous panel.

Mulligan: [thinking] ...or else I'm havin' a nightmare, and do I want to see either of those? Huh! I don't think so!

The next panel shows a thought bubble on a black background continuing Mulligan's extended thought.

Mulligan: [thinking] Then again, I might as well look, cause if I'm dreamin', I might as well see what's happenin'... Yeah, that's it, you're dreamin', Mulligan... Like there's really a gorilla in the cabin... Huff! Gorilla in the cabin! Huff huff! That's a good one!!!

The scene shifts back to the cabin on the MADDIE HAYES, as shown from Mulligan's point of view. He removes his hands from his eyes and sees the Gorilla standing very close to him and staring him in the face. After a beat, the video's perspective changes to show a two-shot of both characters' profiles.

Mulligan: Gorilla in the cabin.

Gorilla: Meh.

Mulligan: GORILLA IN THE CABIN!!!

The video cuts to a closeup of the Captain and Mulligan can be seen in the background being forced to dance with the Gorilla.

Mulligan: Captain! I think he thinks I'm a woman!

Crothers: Captain, have you seen my leg?

Captain: Shut up about your leg! Alright you video makers. Had your fun you had. Now show's us your clue and where our gold be hidden.

The video smash cuts to welostourgold.com displayed on a black background as the music cuts out.

Captain: I believe I am stupider on accounts of that video, I am.

[END OF VIDEO]

The telephone number listed as the customer service number on the GENERAL ANESTHETIC TOOTH CLEANING WORKOUT KIT advertisement is an actual phone number. A web search of the number (307-275-1033) reveals that it is listed as being the fax number for Elk Country Homes, a Wyoming based seller of manufactured and modular homes (i.e. mobile homes).

If you call the telephone number you will be treated to the following recording:

A cheery tune plays and the voice of the Captain is heard.

Captain: You've reached the pirate lottery hotline! This week's winning numbers be twenty, seventeen, sixteen, fourteen, twenty-one, and twelve. On the treasure ball be eight. If you've got the lottery ticket what has all these numbers, tear up the lot. T'aint what they're for! Har har har har har har har har har har!

The message repeats three times and then a female voice states: "Thank you. Goodbye." and the call is disconnected.

Other than the fax number, there don't appear to be any clues on the Elk Country Homes website. The company appears to be real, but may now be defunct. It was registered in Wyoming as Elk Country Homes, Inc. as a for profit business corporation on April 28, 2005, but as of June 4, 2008, it has been listed as being inactive due to delinquent tax status. However, the proprietor, a Mr. James W. Jerrett is a real person, and a resident of Wyoming. Here is a picture of him taken in August of 2008.

In fact, I spoke to Mr. Jerrett a few minutes ago by calling the second number listed on his website and he had no knowledge of the We Lost Our Gold treasure hunt. According to Mr. Jerrett, the fax number that is currently listed on the Elk Country Homes website is incorrect and is not his company's fax number. I can confirm that this is the case. An archived version of the Elk Country Homes website shows that the original fax number listed was 307-332-1306.

I don't think anyone else should call Mr. Jerrett. Although he confirmed that I was the first person to call him, he was a little put out by my call, coming on the holiday as it was. I believe his explanation and that he does not have any connection to the treasure hunt. One explanation could be that the puppetmasters are connected with the web development firm who designed the Elk Country Homes website and that they have taken the liberty of changing the fax number listed on the website for the purposes of the treasure hunt. However, this may be belied by the fact that the erroneous fax number is also found in a number of other listings online. Regardless, it seems clear that Mr. Jerrett will not be the source of any further clues.

Episode Seven Transcript

Here is the transcript for the seventh episode:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Seven

The Ghost Story

As slightly eerie music plays, we see the MADDIE HAYES on the open seas under a full moon. The video dissolves to a shot of Crothers and the Captain standing on deck. Crothers is wearing an eye-patch over his right eye, has a wooden prosthesis on his left arm, a crutch under his right arm, and is not wearing his blue hat.

Captain: When I says I truly never seen a night like tonight, true it don't be, on accounts I've seen one I have.

Crothers: Aye. I remember the night of what you speaks Captain. It fills me with the shivers it do.

Captain: The moon were the color of blood that night.

Crothers: And your bones felt a chill when there weren't no wind blowin'.

Captain: And you'd swear there were someone close listenin', 'cept when look around you would, there'd be noone there.

The video cuts to a shot of Black Tom and Mulligan below deck. Black Tom is cleaning the windows with a duster and Mulligan is standing anxiously looking out a window.

Mulligan: Ah. Oh. I hope they don't start talkin' about ghosts I do.

The video switches back to the shot of Crothers and the Captain above deck.

Crothers: Let me ask you somethin' Captain, and don't laugh neither. Do you believe in ghosks?

Captain: Shhhh. Don't say ghosks too loud, on accounts they am the only thing I be scared of, 'cept walking skellingtons and men was dead.

Crothers: Well. I were thinkin' maybe the reason we ain't found our gold yet was because of what happened there in the main topsail.

Captain: On a night just like tonight.

Crothers: Over a sea as dark as wine.

Captain: When the black gates of Hell opened to swaller the soul o' Lucky Jack.

The video switches to another view of Mulligan and Black Tom below deck from an interior perspective now.

Mulligan: Oh I'm shakin', I'm shakin'. Where's me pistol?

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - sounds like "eh no sooday"]

Mulligan: Huh? No you can't shoot ghosts, but maybe the ghost don't know it and then he'll be the one shakin'.

Black Tom: Huh.

As Mulligan and Black Tom run off screen, presumably to find a pistol, the Bird is revealed to have been sitting behind them the whole time holding a pistol and listening to their conversation. The Bird groans three times in apparent distress.

The video switches back to the shot of Crothers and the Captain above deck.

Captain: They say you can still see the ghost o' old Jack from time to time.

Crothers: Hangin' right there where they cut 'im with a boarding axe.

Captain: Cut him twice to make sure the deed were done.

Crothers: 'Afore the boom of the thirteenth gun.

Captain: Y'argh. 'Tis a scary rhyme, but say it they do.

The video switches back to the shot of Mulligan and Black Tom below deck.

Mulligan: Oh I can't stand it.

Black Tom: [nonsense Japanese - sounds like "doh moofa sonay"]

Mulligan: Oh no. It's cold up there. What if the ghost decides to come down here to get warm and sit and rest his ghostly skeleton legs and - oh, I'm standing right next to the chairs. Oh I can feel eyes what are lookin', lookin' right at me. Oh Tom, can you please check and make sure that the ghost isn't sitting right there!

As Mulligan concludes his speech he turns to face a chair, and the video switches to a shot of the chair revealing that the Bird is sitting on it while holding a pistol.

Bird: Bawk!

The video switches to a reaction shot of Mulligan.

Mulligan: Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhh!

The video cuts back to a shot of the Bird sitting on the chair.

Bird: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwww...

The video intercuts between shots of Mulligan and the Bird as they both continue to scream. Then at the climax of their screams, the video cuts to a view of the Captain and Crothers above deck as a ghostly wail is heard in the distance [sounds like "woooooo hooooooo".

Crothers: Did you hear that wail I just heard off the port bow?

Captain: Aye! How could I miss it. The ghostly wailin' of a spirik doin' his wailin' from his final restin' place.

Crothers: You'se not foolin' about is you Captain?

Captain: With all that talk of ghosks and ghosks talkin' from beyond black Hell-type gates, this be a time for bein' deadly seriousk.

Honky-tonk piano music begins to play, as the video cuts to a view of the action occurring below deck, where the Bird is flying above the table holding the pistol to keep it away from Mulligan, while Mulligan tosses objects at the Bird to knock the pistol loose.

Bird: Treason!

Mulligan: Gimme that pistol you little yellow...mmmrph!

Bird: Not the admiral!

Mulligan: If anybody's going to shoot that ghost what can't be shot, it is going to be me.

Bird: Treason!

Mulligan: Argh!

Mulligan throws a white tablecloth at the Bird and succeeds in covering the Bird with the tablecloth.

Bird: Treason! Treason! Treason!

The video switches back to the shot of the Captain and Crothers above deck.

Crothers: Even though I am afraid of no man, I'm afraid now. Because a ghosk is a man what is dead and that is something scary to me.

Captain: Aye Crothers. Scary enough to make strong mates what swears and stabs each other for fun feel afeared. I am not afraid to say, afraid is what I am.

Crothers: I would like a hug, I'm so scared.

The scene switches back below deck where Mulligan is continuing to attack the Bird.

Mulligan: Jam it you!

Mulligan runs towards the Bird covered in the tablecloth, as the Bird tries to escape the cabin by flying up and knocking once on the hatch in the ceiling.

The video switches back to the view on deck where the Captain is giving Crothers a hug.

Captain: They say ghosks knock three times before they appears and eats your facek.

Suddenly a knock is heard.

Crothers: Be that two knocks or three?

Another knock is heard before the Captain can respond.

Captain: It be both, on accounts the knock ye spoke of be two but that knock be three, and three is the knock what means the ghosk is come.

Another knock is heard.

Captain: And that be four?

Suddenly the hatch opens and the Bird covered in a white tablecloth emerges.

Crothers: The ghosk, the ghosk is come!

The video switches to show Mulligan below deck as he pulls on the tablecloth to try to pull the Bird back towards him.

Mulligan: Get down here you!

The video switches back to the view above deck where it appears that the only effect Mulligan has had was to pull the tablecloth off of the Bird.

Crothers: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaggghhh! He has no head and there's a bird and a gun where his brain should be.

Captain: I think that now I am going to scream.

The honky-tonk music starts playing again as both the Captain and Crothers start to run around on deck screaming. Amidst the screaming the Bird fires a shot from the pistol.

Captain: Wait! You is me own parrot-type bird, and birds is not ghosks!

Mulligan sticks his head above deck through the hatch.

Mulligan: Wait! I wanted to shoot the ghost.

Crothers: Wait! I think this hole in me chest means the one that was shot were me.

Crothers suddenly stiffens and collapses to the ground, apparently dead from his wound.

Mulligan: But why shoot Crothers? He's not the ghost.

Captain: Well you fixed that with your shenanigans you swabs! Arrgh! We shoulda buried you instead the treasure you parrot from Hell!

Mulligan retreats below deck to avoid the Captain's ire. The Captain walks back towards the mast grumbling to himself.

Captain: Now this be a fine mess. Crothers is shot and killed by me own bird.

The Captain sighs.

Captain: Treasure be gone. Now Crothers be gone. Tutty be gone.

The Captain sniffs as if holding back tears, when a peal of thunder is heard and a bolt of lightning is seen in the distance behind the MADDIE HAYES.

Captain: Go ahead God, strike the ship with lightnin', see if I cares.

The Captain continues to grumble and mutter to himself as he walks off stage right. A chime sound effect is heard and suddenly Crothers appears in ghostly form.

Crothers: [Makes a noise of exertion.] I don't mean to complain but I think I'm getting the bad end of this lot.

The video smash cuts to welostourgold.com displayed on a black background.

Captain So! Ya think I am wantin' to have a seance, do ye? That it's my favorite thing to sit, holdin' hands with you buggers, summoning the spirits of the dead, inviting Lucifer into me ship, with a hardy, heidy hello!

Parrot: Heidy hodie!

Mulligan: Oh, I'm so itchy with the fear.

Captain: Hold fast Mulligan! For questions we have. And answers we need. So the time has come, it has, to summon up the spirik, of old Crothers

Mulligan: Oh, I don't like this.

Captain: I am talkin' now to the spirik world. That world filled with souls, and demons, and black-hearted oozin' buggers what make decent living-type folk puke up at the sight of yez.

Parrot: Oozing buggers!

Captain: We is tryin' ta get hold o Crothers, who is a dead-type feller of the recent variety. So he won't look as disgustapatin' as the rest of ye.

[Captain continues, I can't hear it]

Mulligan: Tom, Tom. I is afraid that Crothers is a-gonna blame me for his dyin'

Tom: [pseudo Japanese]

Mulligan No, I ain't bein silly. All I was sayin before he got shot in his head was, "I wanna shoot the ghost!" The Ghost-Shooter, that's me. And then he got shot. And then he was the ghost.

Tom: grunt

Mulligan: Oh, I can almost hear the spook callin' out now, "Mulligan! Mulligan!"

Parrot: Mulligan!

Mulligan: Shriek

Captain: Pipe down, ye lubbers! I is tryin' ta talk ta Satan!

Home Sweet Home picture moves and comes off wall, flies to table in front of Mulligan, while spooky latin "Domus Dulce Domus" chant playes. 250 FEET appears on picture in blood.

Mulligan: cries out

Table spins around to put picture in front of Captain. Captain looks at picture.

Captain: This aint enough! What are we s'posed to do with a pitcher what says 250 feet!

Mulligan: Two hundred and fifty ghost feets. The ghost o' Crothers has two hundred and forty-nine extra legs, guys! Oh! I can almost hear their dreadful tiptoeing!

Captain: You'll be civil to the ghost of Crothers, even if when he appears, his face is fallin' off, and Satan has turned his arms into spiders!

Mulligan: No! That's enough! I'm done! If we keep botherin' this Santa guy, one of us is gonna get possessed! And I am happy just bein' me, thank you very much! And I like you just bein' Tom, tom. And you just stay only the Cap'n, Cap'n. And you... YOU!

Bird's head spins around, chant: spiritus, avitus (?)

Parrot/Crothers: Hello, Mulligan.

Mulligan: shrieks

Captain: Yarr! Success! The spirit o' Crothers be pourin out o that bird like smokin' oakum.

Tom: [pseudo Japanese]

Crothers/parrot: I'm fine, Tom, thanks for asking. Eh, the afterlife's not all that bad, 'cept for the fire and the pitchfork jabs. Ahahahaha!

Captain: Did the spirits tell ye anything about our treasure? Did ye learn anything, bein' dead and all?

Crothers/parrot: Aye, I were told where our treasure be!

Captain: Ye were, were ye?

Crothers/parrot: But I did not hear all of it, on accounts of I were having beer and pudding at the time.

Tom: Ooh, [pseudo Japanese].

Crothers/parrot: Yes, Tom, all the pudding you can eat!

Captain: So, the devil told ye where our treasure be, but ye missed it, bein' too drunk and full o' sweets?

Crothers/parrot: No, I remembers some. Look for the flyin' bird, and follow his path. And start from [stop on?] the ship. That's important too. Oh, but away from his nest. A birdie! And now I is a bird! That's irony, that is!

Captain: Mmmfh!

Crothers/parrot: Well, it's hard to concentrate when your sittin' on a beer volcano.

Captain: That's it?! A flying birdie be the great secret of the afterlife!

Crothers/parrot: No, captain, there be more.

Mulligan: It's lookin' at me Cap'n.

Crothers/parrot: And it be in regards to...

Mulligan: Sweet Mother of Mercy!

Crothers/parrot: ...in regards to Mulligan!

Mulligan: Oh no. I will not be murderacized by a bird and a phantom and my very good friend at the same time.

Leaves. Door opens.

Mulligan: Just, uh, give me a head start before you come eat my brains and guts and soul.

Leaves

Crothers/parrot: I were only gonna say, we shoulda been listenin' ta him from the very beginning.

Tom: Mmmhmm mm.

Captain: Aye, Tom. There may be truth ta yer words! How do we know that bird bein channelin Crothers, and not some devil, weavin' sugary lies?

Mulligan running on deck in a storm. Lightning and thunder. Mulligan sees crows nest.

In cabin Cap is manhandling bird.

Crothers/parrot: Ay Ay oi! Hey, that is hurtin' this parrot, whose body I'm leasin' to speak in!

Captain: I need proof ye be Crothers, not Lucifer in a bird suit!

Crothers/parrot: Then ask me somethin only me and ye knows, Cap'n! You bein' Cap'n and me bein' Crothers.

Captain: I'll ask ye a question then. Me greatest secret I only shared with one man, that man bein' Crothers: What happen'd ta Tutty?

Mulligan climbing to crows nest.

Crothers/parrot: He's in the treasure chest, Cap'n. Ye put him there ta keep him safe.

Tom: Ohoh?

Mulligan climbs to crows nest.

Mulligan: I made it! I made it to the safe haven of the beautiful crows nest!

Triumphal music, lightning strikes.

Mulligan: Ohh Ohh!

Lighting enters cabin and strikes Crothers.

Crothers/parrot: Ohhhhhh!

Captain: No! (glass breaks) The floatin' voice o' what turned out ta be my best mate were hit in the face by lightnin!

Tom: Comihomiomio! (pointing)

Coughing, parrot appears dressed as Crothers (hat, but missing arm, leg, and eye)

Crothers/parrot: I have not gone back to hell!

Tom: [pseudo Japanese]

Crothers/parrot: No Tom, I am not happy. I can tell I'm stuck in this parrot. And all of his luck were bad! How can I be your mate, lookin like this?

Captain sighs, exits slowly.

Crothers/parrot: Where is he goin?

Tom: dunno (shrugs)

Captain gets candle, soft music, goes to hammock. Picture on wall is of Tutty, looking like the parrot, in red and white striped "HAPPY" shirt, arm prothesis, leg prothesis, eye patch.

Captain reenters cabin, sniffs.

Captain: Ya still look like a pirate ta me! Sniff! Now ya can fly behind merchants, and stab em unawares. (Sobs) yer smallness will help ya get drunk faster! (Sobs)

Crothers/parrot: Captain? Is this cryin' some sort of a code-type thingie?

Captain: No, Crothers parrot. I am cryin on accounts I am overcome with emoshkuns. Yer midgety bird-body has taught me that Tutty were the treasure I were truly missin. And in a way, it turns out the treasure was with us the whole....

Mulligan: [screaming, remote] oooohhhh

Mulligan comes through ceiling. Debris crashes and piles on table.

Crothers/parrot: Look out! [unintelligible]

Debris hits parrot, he falls off table.

Mulligan: I'm okay! Where am I?

Crothers/parrot: Will someone check and see if there's wood stickin out of me head?

Captain: I am disgustapated with the lot of ye!

Without further ado, here is the transcript for the first episode:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Ya bury gold ta keep it secret. And if someone's listenin'... it ain't a secret anymore.

- The Captain

Episode One

The Beginning

Mulligan: Meep.

Mulligan: And now any lubber can find it and spends it.

Mulligan: And we'll never tell them spies that we first had that gold in Central Park.

Bird: Hide the gold. Hide the gold. Hide the gold. Hide the gold. Hide the gold.

Mulligan: Hur hur. Captain, he shouldn't say that in front of the spies.

Mulligan: Oh, we get to talk in code. Like Morse code. Oh, I love Morse code. Dot. Dot. Dot.

Bird: Dash.

Crothers: In code. [Mulligan: Dot. Dash.] Retracing our steps. But in code? [Bird: Dot. Dash. Dot.] Got it. How's this [Mulligan: Dash.] for code lads? [Bird: Dot. Dash.] [Mulligan: Dash.] Balto. [Bird: Dot. Dash. Dash.] [Mulligan: Dot. Dash.] Balto's the code see.

Bird: Dot. Dash. Dot. Dot.

Captain: I'll say where we was after the Balto statue, but I won't say its [Mulligan: Dot. Dash. Dot. Dot.] a code. And I'll just make it confusing [Bird: Dot. Dash.] so spies can't understand me.

Mulligan: Dash. Dot. Dash. Dot.

Crothers: That is confusing. I have no idea what you're talking about. But don't worry lads, [Bird: Dot. Dot. Dot. Dot.] I'm the luckiest man alive. We'll find that gold in no time.

Mulligan: Dot. Dash. Dash.

Bird: Dot. Dash.

Mulligan: Dot. Dash. Dot. Dot. Dash. Dot. Dash.

Mulligan: Tom. Help. This toy has me and it will not let go.

Mulligan: Oh thank you Tom.

Mulligan: I have a good code. Instead of Central Park we call it Pentral Cark.

Mulligan: Yeah, sneaky code ain't it.

Mulligan: But you see what I did with the "C"...

Mulligan: Oh. Then how about this. Instead of calling it window sill, we call it window sell. Sill, I-L-L, sell, E-L-E.

Mulligan: I don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember eating any iced cream. But I do remember what I was gonna buy with my share of the treasure. Wait, I'll say it in code: belly jeans.

Mulligan runs by Captain carrying a spyglass with a red cloth wrapped around one end.

Mulligan: I'm going up to the highest point of the ship to clear me head and think of new codes.

Mulligan: But I loves it.

Captain shoots the spyglass out of Mulligan's hands.

Bird: Forty-eight armies!

Mulligan: Ah. I have the code of all codes. But it's so good it can't be put into words. Where's my crayons. Ah. My sweet crayolees.

Mulligan: Done.

They all look down at the drawing made by Mulligan.

Mulligan: There it is the code of all codes.

Mulligan: Yeah, your foot.

Captain smashes bottle on Mulligan's head.

Bird: Central Park. Start in Central Park.

Mulligan: No, it's Pentral Park. Start in Pentral Park.

Bird: Park.. Cent...would you...Bawk..Arghh!

Captain grabs Bird and runs screaming to the cannon stuffing Bird inside.

Bird: Arghh!

Okay, here is the transcript for Episode Two:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Two

The Chase

Cannonball strikes the Maddie Hayes.

Mulligan: I don't wanna sink. And that swim. We cannot fight that British two-decker Captain!

Mulligan screaming above deck.

Mulligan: It's not Captain. That's what makes it so horrible. But this is just like the time the French blew a hole in the cabin.

Cannonball strikes Tutty resting in crib.

Mulligan: Nonono. Nononono. Captain. Captain. It's okay. It's okay. Look. Crothers and me switched Tutty with a potato. Huh, potato.

Crothers sets cannon to shoot into the Maddie Hayes by accident. Cannon fires and causes cannon to fall out of ship into water.

Mulligan: But Captain, somebody should be up in that crow's nest and that somebody should be me.

Mulligan: I'm the first mate. Why'd you make me the first mate if I can't go up in that crow's nest.

Mulligan: Oh, I'm so scared Captain. I think I gotta pee.

Mulligan: Okay. Mulligan, you just gotta hold off 'till dark. And that's all you gotta do. Alright. Alright.

Mulligan looks through spyglass at British ship.

Mulligan: Oh. That lieutenant on the foredeck is giving the sign of victory. Oh, wait. He's just a kid. Not so bad. Agh. And there are four guys behind him. That's kinda bad. Augh. And smoldering cannons of destruction. Oh, this is bad! Bad!

Mulligan throws spyglass overboard.

Mulligan: Peace, courage, fortitude and justice mateys. I am your friend, I am.

The British start shooting at Mulligan. Twelve shots in total.

Mulligan: Waugh. Augh. Waugh. Whoa. Waugh. Waugh. Wa-waugh.

Captain goes below deck where there are smoke and sparks all around.

Bird: Augh! Augh!

Mulligan: Whew. Uh-whoa. Whoa. Hello everybody, where am I?

Crothers: I smells the smells of a fuse burning I do.

Cannon with fuse lit is shown while all the puppets exclaim or scream in astonishment.

Mulligan: Psst. Doh. Crow's nest.

Sound of someone being smacked, presumably Mulligan.

Episode Four

The Black Tom

Black Tom is shown standing in front of a pale yellow background. To his upper left are four Japanese characters [北部 - roughly pronounced hokubu] which have been reversed horizontally. The first two characters are the kanji symbols for "North." The last two characters mean "section, bureau, dept, class, copy, part, portion, or counter for copies of a newspaper or magazine."

Black Tom: [speaking backwards] Sometimes to follow the way, you must avoid the way you've known. [Click here to listen to the reversed audio.]

Black Tom looks to stage right, perhaps up at the reversed Japanese characters to his upper left, then walks off stage left.

Title card stating CLUE 41 on a black background slides down from above. Crothers walks in front of title card from stage left. An eye patch covers his right eye, he is not wearing his blue hat, his left arm has been replaced with a wooden prosthesis and he is supported by a crutch under his right arm.

Here is the transcript for Episode Five:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Five

The WPPPT

Country music plays as a montage sequence starts cutting between shots of the skyline of Las Vegas at night, generic scenes of gambling, and shots of a pile of gold coins surrounding a trophy of a severed hand with gloveandboots.com painted on the wall behind the trophy and coins.

Narrator 1: Las Vegas. Home of the infamous Dead Man's Hand poker tournament. The game is Texas Hold 'Em. The prize is a mountain of gold doubloons. And the time to win it all is right now. Tonight only four players remain, all of them intent on taking home that coveted trophy.

The video switches to closeup of Mulligan in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: The rookie with the Cinderella story.

Mulligan is now shown sitting at a poker table with stacks of chips in front of him, holding a sandwich, with a sign behind him advertising Bear's Brown Cola! It's Tops! A caption is displayed reading: MULLIGAN. WPPPT. LAST PLACE FIVE YEARS IN A ROW.

The caption, like all the other captions in this video are shown in yellow and gray boxes superimposed on top of an image of the front side of a presidential dollar coin.

Mulligan: Thank you lucky sandwich.

The video switches to a closeup of Crothers in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Crothers is now shown sitting at a poker table with neatly stacked chips in front of him, holding a cutlass in his left hand with which he is menacing a decapitated puppet head on the table wearing a hat, with a sign behind him advertising RAM O' CAM. PUTS THE "B" IN YOUR MOVIE. AVAILABLE NOW AT S&R CAMERAS. A caption is displayed reading: CROTHERS. STOLEN 15 WPPPT CHAMPIONSHIP BRACELETS.

The video switches to a closeup of the Captain in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: The man that refuses to lose.

Captain is now shown sitting in front of a red poster advertising the website marchingdog.com while holding two playing cards burning in his left hand - a Queen of Hearts and a Queen of Clubs. A caption is displayed reading: CAPTAIN. WPPPT. RECORD HOLDER - MOST DEALERS SHOT.

The video switches to a closeup of Black Tom in front of a blue curtain making various poses.

Narrator 1: And the veteran who makes his own luck.

Black Tom is now shown sitting at a poker table with a messy stack of poker chips in front of him, and a yellow poster advertising the website www.doggieacademy.com behind him. A caption is displayed reading: TOM. FAVORITE TOM JONES SONG: DELILAH.

The video cycles between closeup shots of Mulligan, Crothers, the Captain and Black Tom in front of blue curtain.

The video switches to various shots showing gold coins surrounding the severed hand trophy with the gloveandboots.com banner displayed in the background.

Narrator 1: Who will walk away with the severed hand of a dead sailor?

The video switches to various shots showing Las Vegas at night, then zooms in on a video of a hand dealing cards on poker table, and cuts to an animated title graphic for the WORLD PUPPET PIRATE POKER TOUR.

Narrator 1: The final table, next on the WPPPT.

A country music lick is heard as a graphic of a playing card reading DEAD MAN'S HAND and showing the severed hand trophy appears on screen then zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the feed to a view of Mulligan, the Captain, Black Tom and Crothers sitting at a poker table with posters behind them.

Narrator 2: Let's get right into the action here Billy and at the Dead's Man Hand tournament that can mean more than just cards.

A poker dealer is shown approaching the table and begins to shuffle a deck of cards showing a Five of Spades as the bottom card.

The scene shifts to show the Captain from the right side of the dealer as he draws a gun from under the table with his left hand and fires at the dealer.

Dealer: Woo hoo hoo!

Narrator 1/Billy: Let's take a look at the chip count.

While the dealer distributes cards to the Captain and Crothers in the background, a graphic appears reading:

WPPT

BEAR'S BROWN COLA! CHIP COUNT

1. MULLIGAN $4810.00

Narrator 1/Billy: Mulligan's in the lead with just under half the coins in play followed by Tom with nearly two thousand...

A caption appears showing the players' cards.

The Captain pulls a cutlass out from under the table with his left hand and chops off Crothers' left arm. The audience makes gasping noises and other concerned sounds. Crothers screams in pain while the Captain picks up Crothers' left hand and tosses it over his left shoulder.

Narrator 1/Billy: Looks like the first hand goes to the Captain. Sometimes you don't need luck or skill to win as we learn from this week's...

The video switches to an animated graphic showing dollar coins rotating above a wooden background, while a graphic of a playing card reading FEATURED PLAYER and showing a drawing of a skull appears on screen.

Deep Voice: FEATURED PLAYER

The playing card graphic zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the video to a view of the Captain sitting on a red sofa in front of a fuzzy blue wall, intercut with various other scenes of the Captain at the poker table.

The video of the Captain shooting the dealer is replayed.

The video switches to a scene of the Captain holding a box of tissues tearfully.

The video switches to a scene of the Captain blowing his nose on the red sofa.

Captain: Were for that blasted parrot.

The video switches to show the Bird sitting on the red sofa.

Bird: Bawk!

The video switches back to the Captain on the red sofa, now reclining as if in a therapy session.

Sound of camera flash and a video transition sequence is shown to indicate a cut in the scene.

Captain: Bollocks to luck! Since I won that parrot me good luck hit the end of the line. Lady luck's gone back the other direction and I'm up to me collar in turds!

The video switches to a swish pan shot of the severed hand trophy and stacks of chips and cards on a poker table in front of a blue curtain, then cuts to a shot of the severed hand trophy alone on the table. A graphic of a playing card reading DEAD MAN'S HAND and showing the severed hand trophy appears on screen then zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the video to a view of the Captain, Black Tom and Crothers at the poker table with posters behind them.

Narrator 2: Back to action here at the Dead Man's Hand tournament and it's anybody's guess who will take home the prize.

The video switches to show Black Tom's point of view as he checks his hole cards - a Jack of Spades and a Jack of Clubs. Captions appear on the bottom of the screen showing Black Tom's cards as well as the community cards and the size of the pot in dollars - currently $400.

Narrator 1/Billy: Tom checks his hole cards. With that pair of Jacks he will raise.

The pot increases to $550 with Black Tom's raise and he is shown as having a 100% chance of winning the pot. The video switches to show Crothers checking his hole cards - a King of Diamonds and an eight of Clubs.

Narrator 1/Billy: Crothers with a King, eight.

With Crothers' call the pot is now $600, a 27% chance of winning the pot is listed for Crothers, while Black Tom's chance of victory falls to 72%. The video switches to show Mulligan checking his hole cards - an Ace of Spades and a card that reads HOLY MACKEREL and displays a drawing of a yellow fish wearing a mitre with a cross and holding a staff topped with a cross.

Narrator 2: Something's wrong with Mulligan, Bob. He's checking his hole cards again and there's a ...
Narrator 1/Billy/Bob: What is that?

Narrator 2: Well I do believe that was a Go Fish card James.

Mulligan: Oh, I call! Oh yeah! I call for sure!

The pot increases to $750 with Mulligan's call, his chance of victory is listed as ??? and Crothers' and Black Tom's odds remain unchanged. The video switches to show the Captain checking his hole cards - a three of Spades, four of Spades, and five of Spades.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James: Now the Captain's hole cards. He has a three, a four, and a f-five of Spades. That's definitely one card too many.

Narrator 2: That extra card assures that he is not gonna fold John. And that he's cheating.

The pot is now $1000 with the Captain's call. The Captain is listed as having a 40% chance of victory, Black Tom's chances fall to 46%, and Crothers' odds drop to 13%. The video switches to a top down view of the poker table as the dealer turns over the flop cards revealing a Queen of Hearts, a King of Hearts, and a six of Spades. Black Tom's odd drop to 5%, Crothers' odds rise to 61%, and the Captain's odds fall to 33%.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John: Well we're four players to the flop and it's Queen, King, six. That gives Crothers a pair of Kings and puts the Captain one card away from a straight flush.

The video switches to show Black Tom as he pushes his entire stack of chips towards the center of the table.

Narrator 2: Things certainly are heating up mister. Tom is first to act.

The pot increases to $2734 when Black Tom goes all in.

Narrator 2: Oh and he is all in with two Jacks. That is a dangerous bluff with the higher King and Queen on the board. That makes this our...

The video switches to show marchingdog.com on a wooden background surrounded by gold coins. A graphic of a playing card reading ALL IN! marchingdog.com and showing five gold coins appears on screen.

Narrator 2: Marchingdog.com all in moment.

The graphic of the playing card zooms in towards the viewer as a right wipe transition changes the video back to a view of the Captain, Black Tom and Crothers at the poker table with posters behind them.

Narrator 2: Crothers is quick to call and that'll put all of his chips on the line.

The pot is increased to $3821 as Crothers pushes his stack of chips towards the center of the poker table using his left stump.

Narrator 2: Mulligan doesn't look like he knows what to do.

The video switches to show Mulligan deciding what to do. He is inadvertently showing the other players his cards.

Mulligan: Oh. I got an Ace, and a Mackerel. And those are really good cards. And do I want to fold good cards like an Ace? And who knows the next time I'm gonna get a card like a Mackerel?

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy: Is he telling the other players the cards in his hands?

Narrator 2: It certainly appears that way Jimmy.

The video switches to Black Tom's perspective checking his hole cards again, as they change to a Queen of Spades and a Queen of Clubs. Black Tom's odds rise to 69%, Crothers' odds drop to 0%, and the Captain's odds fall to 30%.

Narrator 2: Oh looks like Tom's cheating as well Carol.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: That's right. I have no clue how he did it, but he traded his Jacks for Queens.

Mulligan: Oh, I call!

The pot increases to $5555 as Mulligan goes all in, pushing his stack of chips into the center of the poker table. A silver iPod can be seen in front of Mulligan as he pushes his chips into the center of the table.

Mulligan: Uh. Oh boy! I called! I CALLED!

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: Mulligan now in a deep hole with half of his chips at risk here.

The video switches to show the Captain pushing his stack of chips into the center of the table. The pot increases to $7174.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: And the Captain calls right behind him which will put everyone all in.

Mulligan: FISH!

The video switches to a top down view of the poker table as the dealer flips the turn card to reveal a HOLY MACKEREL card. There is a smattering of applause from the audience. Mulligan's odds change to 1% while everyone else's chance of victory remains unchanged.

Mulligan: Woohoo!

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol: Aw, I should have seen that coming.

Narrator 2: And this is why the Dead Man's Hand tournament is my favorite event to cover Wynona.

The video switches to a view of the poker table with the Bird sitting on top of it.

Bird: Double down. Double down.

Captain: Curse ya bird! Get the blazes off the table.

Bird: Aaaah! Ha ha ha. Bawk bawk bawk!

The video switches back to the top down view, now with the Bird sitting on top of the stack of chips.

Dealer: That's discard. Good luck gentlemen.

The dealer distributes and turns the river card to reveal an eight of Diamonds. Loud exclamations are heard from the audience. Black Tom's chance of victory changes to 100% while everyone else's odds drop to 0%.

Narrator 2: Eight of Diamonds. That doesn't help anybody and Tom wins the pot.

The video switches to a closeup of Black Tom then back to a shot of the entire table to reveal the Captain placing a round bomb with a lit fuse on the table.

The video switches to a closeup of the bomb as the fuse burns down, and then doesn't explode.

Bird: Wauuuuuuugh... huh?

The bomb explodes in a flash of smoke and knocks the Bird off of the poker table.

Narrator 2: Who says cheaters never win John? Tom knocks out the Captain and Crothers with those three Queens.

Mysterious music begins to play as the video zooms in towards the center of the table.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol/Wynona: Hold on. That blast made by the Captain seems to have exposed something in the center of the table Gary.

The video dissolves to a top down view of the poker table showing a stone disk sunk into the center of the table under the felt. Raised on the stone are the image of a grinning skull inscribed within a compass or ship's wheel with eight spokes.

Narrator 2/Gary: You're right Lance there's definitely something hidden just under the felt.

The stone disk rotates counter-clockwise approximately 22.5�, or about half the distance towards the next spoke.

Mulligan: What is it?

The video switches back to a shot showing the entire poker table as country music begins to play. Crothers walks away from the table towards the camera and then turns to head off stage right.

Narrator 1/Billy/Bob/James/John/Jimmy/Carol/Wynona/Lance: It's what makes poker the fastest growing sport in the world today. Winners, losers, hands folded, arms chopped off, bombs, skulls, grog and fish. For Leslie Sebastian Charles, I'm Al Lukovich. Thanks for joining us here at the WPPPT.

A graphic of a playing card reading DEAD MAN'S HAND and showing the severed hand trophy appears on screen very briefly then zooms in towards the viewer as a left wipe transition changes the video to a view of welostourgold.com displayed on a black background, while a country music lick plays.

Episode Six Transcript

Below is the transcript for the sixth episode:

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Six

The Monkey Business

Mr. Nigel, a red crab wearing a black bowler hat is pictured scuttling sideways on a beach, while humming to himself.

Mr. Nigel: Morningsy.

He is approached from stage right by Mr. Gibson, another red crab, wearing a white driver's cap and a large black moustache. He stops in front of a bottle of vitamins that is resting on the sand to the left of Mr. Nigel.

Mr. Gibson: Oh yes yes. Good morning Mr. Nigel.

Mr. Nigel: Oh good morning Mr. Gibson. Would you care for some toast and marmalade.

Mr. Gibson: No no. Good of you, old boy, but no toast for me until after I have taken my vitamins.

Mr. Nigel: Don't eat those vitamins. There's too much aluminium in 'em.

Mr. Gibson: Oh yes. Quite right that. Oh, ho chortle. Aluminium.

Mr. Nigel: Oh ho ho ho. Ho ho ho. Aluminium in 'em. Ho ho.

While they are laughing over the aluminium gag, a monkey appears on the beach behind them and makes a vocalization, causing Mr. Nigel and Mr. Gibson to suddenly become startled and start screaming. Mr. Gibson scuttles away off stage right, while Mr. Nigel scuttles backwards out of sight.

The monkey appears annoyed at their having run off but then looks at the sand at his feet and notices the corner of a comic book poking through the sand. He scrapes away the sand obscuring the top of the comic book, to reveal that the comic is drawn in the style of the bronze age era of American comics, is titled WE LOST OUR GOLD, with a date of September 6 and a price of 10,000 L/$. Stylized drawings of the heads of the Bird, Crothers, the Captain, Mulligan and Black Tom are arrayed on an orange background in the upper left corner of the comic's cover.

Pleased at his discovery, the monkey makes more vocalizations and unburies the comic completely to open the cover and view the first two pages.

On the first page (the reverse of the cover) is an advertisement for a series of collectible trading cards issued by the creators of the WE LOST OUR GOLD comic.

The advertisement features a drawing of ARTHUR the SCOTSMAN wielding a mattock emblazoned on a red rectangular wrapper stating WE LOST OUR GOLD and INCLUDES I5 TRADING CARDS!!! HOT DIGGITY!

Below the red rectangle the advertisement states:
Quote:
JUST TRY TO KEEP THESE CARDS UNDER WRAPS!

NEW FROM WE LOST OUR GOLD COMICS!!! All of your friends are going to want these... and with characters like ARTHUR the SCOTSMAN, TUTTY*, GENERAL ANESTHETIC, and GHAST GHOULO, they aren't going to last long! Espically because guess how many packs we made? NONE!

*THE STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE AND SPEED STATS ON THE TUTTY CARD ARE A MIS-PRINT. THEY SHOULD ALL READ 18.

You know [obscured] down here because no one ever reads it. 1975. But you have to put in [obscured] looks legit. And occasionally written in CAPS. But you [obscured] tragity there [obscured] SOCK. Oh well, opertunity lost.

The second page of the comic features the beginning of a story titled "THE MONKEY-BUSINESS!!!" which starts with a half-page drawing of Crothers (with an eye-patch over his right eye, no blue hat, no sleeves, and a wooden left arm prosthesis. The dialogue panels state: "CROTHERS. HE AIN'T THE BEST AT WHAT HE DOES. BUT WHAT HE DOES I LIKES IT.

The monkey turns the page to display the third and fourth pages of the comic and exclaims in mild shock at the third page, which features an advertisement for the mail ordering of comic books. The advertisement states "1994 PRICES in 2010!" at the top of the page, and below that "GET 3 COMICS FOR THE PRICE OF 2." Further below a list of titles are displayed in an orange rectangle with the heading "GROUP I" and "$15.00 TITLES (12 ISSUES)". Below the orange rectangle is a yellow rectangle displaying "GROUP II" and "SPECIAL PRICES (12 ISSUES). At the bottom of the page is the same sort of joke disclaimer text that was found on the bottom of the first page. Meanwhile, the fourth page features the continuation of the comic's story.

The monkey turns the page again to reveal the fifth and sixth pages of the comic. The fifth page features another advertisement, this time for T shirts. The advertisement states:
Quote:
CLASSIC W.L.O.G. T'S!!!

100% NATURAL, CONVENTION READY, GREEN, DORKY T'S FROM WE LOST OUR GOLD! Are they cheap? NO! Do they cost us 50 cents to make overseas? YES!

[obscured] MULLIGAN, BLACK TOM, and PARROT (and characters shown in this ad, and [obscured] property of WELOSTOURGOLD (2032). Just try to steal 'em suckers [obscured] Please don't. GENERAL ANESTHETIC says, "BRUSH YOUR TEETH!"

On the sixth page the comic's story continues and suddenly the video zooms into a closeup panning view of the comic's story panels as voice actors read the characters' dialogue to dramatize the story.

The panel shown depicts Mulligan and Crothers battling a very large serpent in a graveyard. A gravestone is shown in the foreground reading "9-29-1758 10-21-1805 WITH ALL RESPECT".

Mulligan: Hnuf! All four of us could defeat it, but...

The next panel shows Mulligan being choked by a segment of the serpent's body which has wrapped itself around his neck.

Mulligan: UALUEALUEALUEALE!!!

The next panel shows Crothers being knocked into the ground by the serpent's body as the sound effect "WHUMP!" is displayed. Another gravestone can be seen in the foreground reading "E.C.S. 1984 - 1938".

In the next panel Crothers is seen getting up from the ground and the Captain is just visible in the distance behind him.

Crothers: Hold fast, Mulligan!!! Even if they stopped at the next port, following a close compass heading to ours should put them...

The next panel shows a closeup of the Captain's face and a gravestone can be seen in the foreground reading "RIP N. HOPE. 5-1977 8-1997". To the captain left and behind him Black Tom is leaping towards the action while holding a sword in his left hand. A note explains that Black Tom's dialogue is "* Translated from the Japanese dialect - DEJ".

Captain: Put em right behind ye!

The action suddenly stops as the scene shifts back to the monkey's perspective. He is excited and turns the page to reveal the seventh and eighth pages of the comic both of which feature the story. The action jumps back into the perspective of the comic.

The next panel is a full half-page and depicts Black Tom and the Captain joining the fray and attacking the serpent as various chopping sounds, ninja-type noises, and gunfire sound effects are played. In the foreground Crothers is also fighting the serpent and his yells and groans can be heard as well. As a result of their efforts, Mulligan is released by the serpent and he falls to the ground.

The next panel shows Crothers pummeling the defeated serpent and an inset panel shows Mulligan rubbing his head on the ground while Black Tom poses behind him.

Mulligan: Oh boy oh boy, I thought that was the end...

The scene briefly shifts back to the monkey who seems concerned about the fate of the crew. Then the action returns to the comic in progress, now on the first panel of the eighth page, which displays Mulligan and the Captain on the deck of the MADDIE HAYES. Mulligan is daydreaming about being in the Crow's nest and the Captain, below him, is daydreaming about pushing Mulligan out of the Crow's nest.

Narrator: Soon the crew was on deck, and the ship was underway..

The next panel depicts Black Tom climbing a wooden beam high above the deck, looking out towards the sun on the horizon.

Narrator: Knowing that together, not beast, nor weather, nor man could stop them.

The next panel shows the prow of the MADDIE HAYES as it cuts through the water. The prow features a carved wooden figurehead of a woman with her right arm pointing straight along the line formed by the vessel's bowsprit.

The action cuts back to the monkey again, who still looks concerned, before cutting back to the comic in progress.

The bottom panel of the eighth page of the comic shows a number of armed British soldiers dressed in traditional 18th century redcoat uniforms, standing on a beach. The soldiers appear to be lead by an unnamed central figure with brown hair who wears a gold wedding band on his left ring finger. In the distance behind the soldiers are two keeps or forts on two hills on either side of them.

Narrator: But knowing not what stood between them and their destination.

British Soldier: I'll kiss Napoleon before I see pirates leave any zone armed with Britain's best fortifications! Let them come!!!

The video cuts back to the monkey, who is now very excited about the story in the comic. He turns the page to reveal the ninth and tenth pages of the comic.

The ninth page is an advertisement featuring GENERAL ANESTHETIC's tooth cleaning workout kit. It states:
Quote:

GENERAL ANESTHETIC

P.O. BOX 294, CASPER, WY, 82602

BUY ONE! BUY ONE!

* product not actually endorced by General Anesthetic.

(FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, PLEASE CALL 307-275-1033)

The monkey scans the advertisement closely and decides to purchase the product. He tears the advertisement from the comic and walks to a white metal mailbox with a red flag that is nearby on the beach. He places the ad into the mailbox and waits impatiently for the product to be delivered. The delivery is indicated by the raising of the red flag.

Once the product arrives (shipped in a rectangular cardboard box with GENERAL ANESTHETIC's logo) the monkey starts to consume the product by pouring it into his mouth. After a moment he is transformed into the Gorilla!

The scene shifts to the interior of the MADDIE HAYES where all of the pirates are gathered.

Mulligan: That's not it. That can't be the whole skit. Unless that's the whole skit and then I guess it can.

The same scene below deck on the MADDIE HAYES is now shown in comic book form and the characters' most recent lines are repeated in the comic's voice acting style. The view of the comic shifts to show the right side of the panel revealing that the Gorilla is below deck as well and is about to attack the crew.

Gorilla: BLLRAAPHAAR!

The next panel depicts the fray between the Gorilla and the crew members. The Captain and Black Tom are attacking the Gorilla without apparent effect, while the Gorilla is biting a portrait of Tutty, and has grabbed hold of Crothers' right leg.

Gorilla: WAARRGGG!

The next panel shows the continuation of the battle between the Gorilla and the crew. It is confirmed that Crothers' right leg has been torn off by the Gorilla.

Gorilla: RRAAARRHH!

Mulligan: [thinking] I can't look...well, I can, but I don' wanna, cause either there's a gorilla in the cabin...

The next panel shows Mulligan on a black background continuing his thought from the previous panel.

Mulligan: [thinking] ...or else I'm havin' a nightmare, and do I want to see either of those? Huh! I don't think so!

The next panel shows a thought bubble on a black background continuing Mulligan's extended thought.

Mulligan: [thinking] Then again, I might as well look, cause if I'm dreamin', I might as well see what's happenin'... Yeah, that's it, you're dreamin', Mulligan... Like there's really a gorilla in the cabin... Huff! Gorilla in the cabin! Huff huff! That's a good one!!!

The scene shifts back to the cabin on the MADDIE HAYES, as shown from Mulligan's point of view. He removes his hands from his eyes and sees the Gorilla standing very close to him and staring him in the face. After a beat, the video's perspective changes to show a two-shot of both characters' profiles.

Mulligan: Gorilla in the cabin.

Gorilla: Meh.

Mulligan: GORILLA IN THE CABIN!!!

The video cuts to a closeup of the Captain and Mulligan can be seen in the background being forced to dance with the Gorilla.

Mulligan: Captain! I think he thinks I'm a woman!

[BEGINNING OF VIDEO]

Episode Seven

The Ghost Story

As slightly eerie music plays, we see the MADDIE HAYES on the open seas under a full moon. The video dissolves to a shot of Crothers and the Captain standing on deck. Crothers is wearing an eye-patch over his right eye, has a wooden prosthesis on his left arm, a crutch under his right arm, and is not wearing his blue hat.

The video cuts to a shot of Black Tom and Mulligan below deck. Black Tom is cleaning the windows with a duster and Mulligan is standing anxiously looking out a window.

Mulligan: Ah. Oh. I hope they don't start talkin' about ghosts I do.

The video switches back to the shot of Crothers and the Captain above deck.

The video switches to another view of Mulligan and Black Tom below deck from an interior perspective now.

Mulligan: Oh I'm shakin', I'm shakin'. Where's me pistol?

Mulligan: Huh? No you can't shoot ghosts, but maybe the ghost don't know it and then he'll be the one shakin'.

Bird: Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwww...

The video intercuts between shots of Mulligan and the Bird as they both continue to scream. Then at the climax of their screams, the video cuts to a view of the Captain and Crothers above deck as a ghostly wail is heard in the distance [sounds like "woooooo hooooooo".

Honky-tonk piano music begins to play, as the video cuts to a view of the action occurring below deck, where the Bird is flying above the table holding the pistol to keep it away from Mulligan, while Mulligan tosses objects at the Bird to knock the pistol loose.

Bird: Treason!

Mulligan: Gimme that pistol you little yellow...mmmrph!

Bird: Not the admiral!

Mulligan: If anybody's going to shoot that ghost what can't be shot, it is going to be me.

Bird: Treason!

Mulligan: Argh!

Mulligan throws a white tablecloth at the Bird and succeeds in covering the Bird with the tablecloth.

Bird: Treason! Treason! Treason!

The video switches back to the shot of the Captain and Crothers above deck.

The scene switches back below deck where Mulligan is continuing to attack the Bird.

Mulligan: Jam it you!

Mulligan runs towards the Bird covered in the tablecloth, as the Bird tries to escape the cabin by flying up and knocking once on the hatch in the ceiling.

The video switches back to the view on deck where the Captain is giving Crothers a hug.

Suddenly a knock is heard.

Another knock is heard before the Captain can respond.

Another knock is heard.

Suddenly the hatch opens and the Bird covered in a white tablecloth emerges.

The video switches to show Mulligan below deck as he pulls on the tablecloth to try to pull the Bird back towards him.

Mulligan: Get down here you!

The video switches back to the view above deck where it appears that the only effect Mulligan has had was to pull the tablecloth off of the Bird.

The honky-tonk music starts playing again as both the Captain and Crothers start to run around on deck screaming. Amidst the screaming the Bird fires a shot from the pistol.

Mulligan sticks his head above deck through the hatch.

Mulligan: Wait! I wanted to shoot the ghost.

Crothers: Wait! I think this hole in me chest means the one that was shot were me.

Mulligan: But why shoot Crothers? He's not the ghost.

Mulligan retreats below deck to avoid the Captain's ire. The Captain walks back towards the mast grumbling to himself.

The Captain sniffs as if holding back tears, when a peal of thunder is heard and a bolt of lightning is seen in the distance behind the MADDIE HAYES.

The Captain continues to grumble and mutter to himself as he walks off stage right. A chime sound effect is heard and suddenly Crothers appears in ghostly form.

He actually says:

Look for the flyin' birdie and follow his path.
Stop on the ship - that's important too.
Over, away from his nest - a birdie.
And now I's a bird! That's irony, that is!

glovenboots:

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but is there some way you can show you actually are connected with the WLOG producers? I ask because:

-this forum seems to have a problem with fake names,
-the last time they corrected something people were mishearing, they did it via an official Twitter account, and
-this is the first time I've seen the "and" in Glove and Boots abbreviated to "'n".
