 		capn slim

have to disagree with next stop being roosevelt jackson heights.. one clue leads us to the trump international hotel and the very next clue (or 2 clues later) we are in queens? That does not make sense to me.. As you said the 1st 2 videos follow a clear path. Why should 3 up the difficulty tremendously. I think ppl's interpretations of the subway map thus far and everyone having a different color is way too ambiguous. Clearly we need to end up on the blue line but i think we're missing really important clues before this point. I have no theory on the ports yet..i too thought court system downtown sounded like a good idea but there are a lot of holes in that theory.. still looking, using google maps to try to find relevance to these clues

 		Who's got something?
Here's mine.

We are still at Columbus Circle.

It's got five lines that run through it. The A, B, C, D and the 1.

If you've ever tried to FIND the 1 from the entrance you will no that it's a bit of a hassle. You CERTAINLY can't see of all them ports at the same time.

As for it being the Port of Courtland? Well... the pirates keep referring to Larry as "King Lawrence" or "Larry the King". The Larry King show is shot right there at Columbus Circle. If Larry was a king, that area would be his "court" and that port would be his.

Also, CNN covers the Supreme Court. Yes, it covers other subjects, but still...

That's all I got.

Takers? Nay sayers? Bring it. I'm open for criticism.

 		I'm not sure of the blue line.
I agree with you agreeing with me Smile

I disagree, however, with the blue line.

Remember... we are supposed to be following the pirates and NOT Mario and Fafa. They do not make a reappearance in the episodes ever again.

 		i think the cnn covering the supreme court is a bit of a stretch.. although i cant offer another theory for the ports riddle so appreciate you sharing.

yes we are following the pirates - we are retracing their steps.. they clearly stole the gold from mario and fafa.. mario saying "we are the right track" HAS to refer to the blue line.. and the jared joke at the end is clearly a subway reference so we gotta get on the subway at some point. where to take it to clearly no one knows for certain yet

 		also, on the entrance of the 1 being hard to reach - can u see this online?

I think they made this puzzle so it could be solved from a computer using maps, wiki, etc..

 		Also?
I have the train of thought that the extra zero in 10,000 and the missing letter 'R' in Central Park may very well be MISTAKES that we have not presented to the puppeteers yet.

If they are NOT, however, then we may be looking for an overall WORD or CODE. THAT means we may have obviously missed OTHER letters / numbers in Episodes 1 & 2.

Is anybody willing to write and ask? We did so with the "48 Armies" debacle and got a response.

 		in regards to proving things online
I dont think the PM's here wanted this to be solved just via the internet. They buried the physical reward in nyc, so they expect someone who is familiar with the city to find it. I dont think everything has to be proven out through a web site or Wikipedia

 		I'm pretty sure that there is no question that they are smacking us in the face with Jackson Hts/Roosevelt.

The end of episode 2 has them entering the subway station ("Be everyone safely below?")

Episode 3: reference to "mind the gap", which I'm pretty sure I remember seeing signs in NYC subway cars saying that. Mulligan talks about seeing a station with 4 docks (point #4 on the split screen: There are 4 in the crew. He's seen 4 docks.) So we're looking for a station with 4 docks. Exactly at the moment when Fafa says "how'd I get up here? is this a clue?" there is a very clear shot of Jackson Hts/Roosevelt station to the right of his square, and then when they switch back to him later, they show the exact same shot, in case we missed it the first time. The background colors of their squares are the same colors as the lines that run through Jackson Hts/Roosevelt station. I don't see any other way they could point us there without them writing "JACKSON HTS/ROOSEVELT" across the screen.

As I've suggested before, I think the talk about Port of Cortland is meant to steer us away from whatever the Port of Cortland is. It is brought up, and then shot down and crossed out. It's supposed to tell us where NOT to go. I've also mentioned the 5 bus stops on the same block where Cortlandt street is, which I think is a valid interpretation.

Mulligan said in the "Crew" trailer... and I quote...

"It's a treasure hunt you can play ONLINE"

Yes, you have to dig it up, but it is assumed you can play this online.

Who's got another suggestion for the Port of Courtland?
