EP3 Title : I'm in Russia Playing with the Dolls
Traegen:
The Wanda and Michelle photo is from the beginning of leg 2. The stadium is behind them.
Slowhatch:
The first cap--"unknown"--is somewhere on the Novodevichy grounds. If you run the video forward frame-by-frame, you first see a (probably zoomed) shot of Smolensky with the larger Kolokolnaya tower obscured or out of frame (1). Then the camerman starts to pan right and down and you see two building entrances (2)--probably the ones I've marked with arrows in the Convent photo. The last cap (3) shows a small courtyard with a backpack (can't read the tag number). I've tried to puzzle out the sightline with no luck so far. If anybody wants a better look at Novodevichy, this site has photos, a map (in Russian) and even a couple of videos.

untill someone gets better caps
Boingo:
OK, i'm bored! Decided to identify the SUV seen in the vidcaps. Assume they are in Russia, so this may be a shameless promotion of superior Russian engineering. A likely suspect could be made by UAZ.
It's called the UAZ Patriot.
It seats five, but we see at least 2 teams (plus driver, cameraman, and soundman) for a total of 7 people. My guess is that one team rides in the cargo area in the back (that's why we see their heads poking out over the seatbacks). Interesting that the camera guy is in the back seat.

I think BJ and Tyler are first to depart at 4:39 am local time, November 10, 2005.
