If you "think about what you've done", perhaps we are expected to repent and pray for forgiveness.

Kind of humiliating for our heroes. Perhaps they'd rather die. Perhaps they'll have the option.

We've already had about 30 requests to either look at the ceiling from outside the casket, inside the casket and looking at the inside of the lid. Just a matter of waiting and seeing what we get.

The man's hand grips the flashlight hard, most likely held there from rigor mortis. Hale points to a sparkling pin holding the dead man's sleeve in place above his head. Looks like it took quite a beating when it was nailed into the wall.

This diamond's real. I don't see anything along the ceiling. Why would someone put his arm in this position?


There's nothing on the ceiling/in the light.

Reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Perhaps there are some additional clues at waist height that can easily be spotted while kneeling.

People have mentioned looking in the coffin, laying in the coffin, and even looking at the inside of the coffin lid, but I don't think I've seen a suggestion go quite the full way if "her" perspective is from inside the coffin: we ought to get in the coffin and then close the lid. Sit still for a time to "think about what we did", and if something starts going bad we can just bang on the lid and get Crupper to get us out.

That plan is very weird if the coffin is occupied.

Could her perspective refer to the values that the Statue of Liberty represents? Maybe it's a way of thinking, not seeing.

Liberty Values : Mercy, Equality, Liberty, A Fresh Start, Sanctuary

Might be a little off here. :canada:

People are idiots, Leslie.
So I've re-read most of Chewbot's posts and nothing more is clicking about the case. Seems like Liberty Island, New York will be our last stop (if we can get out of here!). I still want to open up that coffin and check the lid, though. Also, did we thoroughly search the body for other clues?

But there was one thing I thought was interesting—in the dossier picture of Carmen, she's wearing a red ring on her left ring finger (where you would wear an engagement and/or wedding ring) and she "never appears in public without her ruby necklace." She must love rubies and anything red (which explains her wardrobe change) and if she was engaged or married before her life of crime then we could be using my favorite backstory for Hale! :woop:

Edit: fixed a mistake about the ring.

If she doesn't play fair, why should we?

Save scum until we get the right answer.

(Not really. I say we conduct a thorough search of the crypt before we open the coffin, because if said coffin only contains a corpse that has been decomposing for the last couple of hundred of years, that'd be a Bad Thing. Not to mention terribly rude and a potential international incident besides.)
