I remember a couple of other companies doing similar stunts. when "Pirates of the Caribbean" came out they buried a car or something
If I was doing this I'd use a construction site, it wouldn't draw attention, you wouldn't have to worry about underground utilities, and i could be monitored easily

yeah, i was going to discuss this.
My first impression is that each clue does not contain the knowledge neccassary to find the gold. I'm wondering if that means the treasure can only be found with the last clue.
Anyone want to go out and check out the physical location?
To be honest i couldn't understand alot of what they were saying, and it was too fucking long i lost attention over and over.
i'm gonna analyze it and transcribe it later if no one else does.

I'm working on the morse code. the very last thing he say is an ? so I'd wager he says something of importance but it's difficult to hear with everybody talking.
also cpt. mentions heading from a cave to inbetween cape Shakespeare & Columbus rock but he says the clue comes later so they are not going in order.

do you think the boat name (Maddie Hayes) is important?
it's an odd thing to name a boat
Quote:
From the Moonlighting TV series Cybill Shepherd as Maddie Hayes: Maddie Hayes is a chic and smart former high-fashion model. Left bankrupt when her accountant embezzles all of her money, she is forced to make a living by running the detective agency she had previously owned as a tax write-off. Using her celebrity as a former model, she brings in clients and tries to bring some order to a business previously run without any discipline.

i was wondering about that. the problem with stuff like this is you can never be sure how deeply to read into things.
Also remind me to translate what numbers the ninja was saying and look into that.

I think I had the Morse Code wrong... here is what I have so far
... - .- .-. - / .- - / .-. . .-.-. .-.- .- -.-. .... .-- .- .-..-.- S T A R T A T R E ? ? A C H W A ?
I'm guessing start at rear archway and Balto is located near Willowdell Arch (cave) it is also not far from Columbus

[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 - anyone have a translation for this?]
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 Morse 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 - Totty.
Captain: I remember sitting with Totty on our favorite rock. Him and me. Me and him. Totty were always the mediscine for me troubled s...
Mulligan runs by Captain carrying a spyglass
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: Liddy armies [phonetic].
Crothers: That "little 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 sword 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?
Website url welostourgold.com is displayed
Bird: Bawk!
[END OF VIDEO]
So the Morse code translates to: Start at Wallach Walk.
Putting the clues together, we have:
1. The gold starts its journey somewhere in Central Park.
2. Start at Wallach Walk.
3. Next stop is the statue of Balto.
4. I'm guessing that Cape Shakespeare is a reference to the Shakespeare Garden. Not sure what Columbus Rock represents.
5. Next stop is the Central Park Dairy.
6. Little armies is probably a reference to Grand Army Plaza.
7. ??? Does the foot drawing have any relevance here?
By the way, "red hell and bloody death" is a reference to Patrick O'Brian's 1984 novel, the Far Side of the World.
That the vessel is named Maddie Hayes, seems like an obvious reference to Cybill Shepherd's character on the hit TV show Moonlighting.
