[FOOTSTEPS]

[ALARM BUZZES] -Access denied.

Please contact Acme Security for assistance.

-Employee code accepted.

Record scan indicates you've been away from Acme

for ten years...

...three months, and seven days.

Welcome back, Detective Carmen Sandiego.

[SNORING]

Ah, Zack, it's way past your...

Whoooa! Wait a minute! You're not Zack!

Thanks for noticing, Chief.

-You're coming back to work for Acme?

Yayasss! I say yes!

-Carmen has been healed!

She is coming hack to the side of good, good, good!

-Now you're dreaming.

-Well, then, whoa!

Stop! Ugh-ugh! No-no-no-no-no!

The Hindenberg was bad, but this is...

Pat, I'll buy a vowel and a consonant "N-O"!

You are not supposed to be here, Carmen!

No... No-no-no! You wouldn't do that.

Get that thing away from me.

You wouldn't do that Carm--...

[MUFFLED PROTESTS]

-Sorry, Chief...

but Zack, and Ivy have foiled my plans

one time too many.

-Glad you could give us a hand

on such short notice, Zack.

-Hey, no prob. You'd have to be a total Dexter

not to like tinkering with

an aircraft landing computer.

[URGENT BEEPING]

-What'd you do now, Einstein?

-Ivy, it's the Acme emergency signal.

Then wrap it up.

-Adjust the navigational bearing sensor

three degrees and you'll be fine, Commander.

-Player, to Headquarters!

-You'll have to excuse me, Chief.

-Ivy, quick! The security system!

We've got you now, Carmen.

The only way out of here is in these.

-Or through the C-Five corridor.

Ciao, detectives.

-Noooooo!!!

[GRUNTS] I thought we had her this time.

-So did I, Zack.

[SIGHS] So did I.

-It's been almost six hours, Zack.

What's taking so long?

-The Acme computer is the most complex system

in the world, Ivy.

[MUFFLED WHIMPERING]

-The Chiefs mouth could be anywhere!

[MUFFLED WHIMPERING CONTINUES]

-Okay, okay. I'll do a universal scan/replace.

It's fast, hut it could get ugly.

-Mooo...

[IMITATING A DOG] Woof-woof-woof...

[SINGING SCALES] ...Ah-ah-ah...

[HISSING] [IMITATING A MONKEY]

Pick up your clothes....

Ahhh!

-I swear, we'll get Carmen for this!

-I'll go check what "went down" while I was off-line.

-Ivy, look! Carmen stole a huhhle memory module,

and accessed a hard drive Info-Scan for...

[ELEPHANT TRUMPETING]

[CROWD CHEERS]

[LION ROARS]

[LAUGHTER]

-Circuses??

[CLOWN BABBLING]

-WWWWHHHHHAAA! !

-Okay, gumshoes, quit clownin' around and listen up.

-Crime Net's learned Carmen's henchmen

broke Dee Tritus out of a high security prison

last night.

-Together they heisted a Sikorsky Skycrane helicopter.

Some date, huh?

These babies can carry stolen goods up to

twenty thousand pounds!

-But what's the connection between our circus files,

a geological expert like Dee Tritus...

-And that giant helicopter!?

-Ah... I don't want to make this too easy,

but I bet my lips...

and I love those things...

the answer's in this clue she left

on our bulletin board.

-Come find me, detectives.

I'm running for the roses on grass of a different color.

-Player, Info-Scan famous roses Carmen might steal.

-But Ivy...

roses are only part of the clue.

What did she mean by...

..."grass of a different color"?

Hmm... Continue scan.

-Freeze frame!

Zack, isn't Kentucky the "Bluegrass" state?

-Survey says...

Kentucky is called the Bluegrass state because...

dusty blue blossoms give their grass

a bluish tint.

-And they call the Kentucky Derby

"The run for the roses,"

'cause the winner gets that blanket of flowers.

-I'm running for the roses on grass of a different color.

-What do you wanna bet Carmen's off to the races?

-But... what about Dee Tritus?

Her expertise is rocks, not horses.

# I'm a miner, forty-niner... #

-Hey, check it out sleuthmeisters,

Kentucky is one of the top coal producing states

in the whole U.S.

-About sixteen thousand square miles of the place

sits on coal fields.

We're talking almost forty percent

of the whole state!

Oh! Fire in the hole!

-Perfect.

With Dee Tritus on the job, I say we check out

the biggest coal mine in Kentucky.

-Player, book us on the C-Five express

to the Bluegrass state of Kentucky.

-C-Five express now boarding.

Destination the State of Kentucky.

Population three million, seven hundred,

fifty-four thousand, seven hundred-fifteen.

-The State of Kentucky holds more than

six billion dollars worth of U.S. gold bullion

in Fort Knox.

And over three hundred miles of underground caves

at Mammoth-Flint Ridge.

And some of the fastest race horses on earth.

-Okay, listen up. This is coal.

And coal is a rock that can burn.

In fact, it burns so well that coal burning

power plants supply more than two-thirds

of all the electricity in the world.

-And this fossil fuel is definitely

not a new kid on the block either.

Most of the coal we use today was formed from plants

that d*ed over three hundred million years ago.

-That's about fifty million years

before there were dinosaurs.

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

-Ivy... what do you wanna bet Carmen's

going to use the helicopter to rip off

one of these coal cars.

-Why don't we just ask them?

-Hey! It's those Acme detectives.

-Let's lose 'em.

-They went down the mine shaft.

-Get your flashlight.

-Some of these side rooms dead-end, Ivy.

-Keep moving and be ready for anything, little bro.

There's one of 'em!

-Next stop, the end of the line. [LAUGHING]

Whoaaaa...

Whoaaaa...

-Ivy! What do we do now?

-Our stop's comin' up, Zack!

-Huh?

-Now!

-Whoaaa!

[COUGHING]

-Next time let's take a bus.

-Bad guys!

-You hear something'?

-Yoo-hoo! Bad guys. [BLOWS RASPBERRY]

-Huh? Let's get 'em!

[ENGINE REVVING]

-Whoaaa!

-Run!!

-Get 'em to go down that dead-end, Ivy!

-Whoooooa!

-This way!

-Huh?

-Ahh!

-Phew!!

-Quick thinking.

I owe you one, little bro.

-Hey, for that you owe me two,

and a car when I'm old enough to drive.

[LAUGHS]

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

-Looks like we stopped this crime, huh, Chief?

-Hey! Hey! What am I, a drive-through window?

-You know what bugs me?

Where was Dee Tritus in all this?

And what were they doing

with this broken light?

-Maybe it's not broken.

-Just a loose bulb.

-Whooooooa!

-Bright idea, Zack.

-Huh? -What?

-Wait a minute.

Carmen doesn't want a train car full of coal.

-There's already something in the payload.

-And it's headed this way!

-Look out!

-Whoooa!

-What!?

-Duck! It's a b*mb!

-Zack, Carmen wouldn't b*mb us.

It's a clue.

-Yeah? And now it's toast.

-Zack, I know what this is.

Player, Info-Scan Indonesian burial customs.

-Burial customs?

You think this figure has something to do with funerals?

-Indonesians build these beautiful towers

that they believe reach up to a spot

between heaven and earth.

There's singing and music, processions,

and big feasts...

...to celebrate the passing of

their loved one's soul on to heaven.

-Wow! That's real different than

the somber funerals we have.

-Well, different cultures see death differently.

-It's treated like a joyous celebration in some places.

-Wait! Indonesial Bali's in Indonesia, Ivy.

And doesn't it have two active volcanoes?

-Last time we were there, little bro.

-Then let's fire up the C-Five.

If we're right about this clue,

Carmen's already got a headstart.

-And hook us up with that Acme detective from Bali.

What was his name?

-Ketut.

-Hang on to your badges, detectives.

You're on your way from Kentucky to Bali,

one of the lesser Sundra Islands in the Indian Ocean.

-Trade in those mining helmets for a sarong, gumshoes.

And what's sarong with that?

Bali has tropical jungles, tinkling Gamelan music,

and a sacred volcano called, Mount Agung.

-Uh, isn't it dangerous living near a volcano, Chief?

-Well, it can be. What are you, picky?

Think of a volcano as a big soda bottle, okay? Once the

pressure builds up enough,

it forces hot lava up from underground.

And tharrrr she blows!

-Millions of people live their whole lives in and around

the Ring of Fire without ever seeing an erupting volcano.

-The ring of what?

-Presenting the Ring of Fire!

-This area, in the Pacific Ocean, the Ring of Fire,

has more known volcanoes than any other place

on the whole planet.

-Six hundred active volcanoes!?

-Chieeeef!

[GASP]

-Even Carmen Sandiego can't steal a volcano!

-Oh yeah? Let's go make sure she can't.

[CHUCKLING]

-Now, let's have a look at what we've got.

[LAUGHTER]

-A giant diamond?

How did she do that?

-Take carbon, which coal is made of...

put it under about a million pounds of pressure

in Dee's high tech oven there.

Then heat it to three thousand degrees.

-And presto, change-o, you got an instant diamond,

without waiting thousands of years for Mother Nature.

-Let's go!

-Ah, you made it, detectives.

-Watch out, Zack!

[GRUNT!]

-The one with the most toys doesn't always win, Carmen!

-Eee-yah!

-You got her!

-You're good, Ivy. But not good enough.

-Well, you had her.

-And now they've got us.

-Huh?

-Eee-yah!

-Ketut!!

-Ready... Jump!

-Hang on. This isn't built for group tours.

[GLEEFUL YELL]

♪♪

-First Carmen breaks into Acme

and steals information on circuses.

Then she steals Kentucky coal to make

the world's largest diamond. But why?

-This is some festival, Ketut.

Sorry we're not in much of a party mood.

-Come back any time.

We have many, many festivals in Bali.

Everyone learns these dances as children.

It's how we pass our traditions

from generation to generation.

-Wouldn't it be easier just to write the stuff down?

-Sure. But the colors, the music,

and the movement, are important, too.

And those must be seen and heard.

-Sometimes the packaging is just as important

as the information.

Nikmatela.

-Player, rerun Carmen's robbery

at headquarters a 'sec.

-Zack and Ivy have foiled my plans one time too many.

-What are you looking for?

-Remember what Ketut just said about the package

sometimes being just as important as the information?

-You think it's really the bubble module itself

she was after?

-Think about it.

If Carmen wanted to figure out how

our system accesses information so quickly

that module would be like a blueprint to how it works.

-Whoa!

-I just can't figure out how the diamond fits in.

-Ivy, most computers run on microchips,

but Acme's main frame processes information

along laser beams.

-And if Carmen uses her diamond to refract

all those info beams...

-She could create a humungo information traffic jam

all across Crime Net.

-With the C-Five shut down, she'd be unstoppable!

-Then let's get there before that happens.

Player, C-Five us to Acme!

-You're headed from Bali to Acme Headquarters

in San Francisco, California. Population...

[SCRAMBLED AND MUFFLED]

-Look out!

-Where are we, Zack?

-An information junction.

-We'll never get out of here!

-By the time Zack and Ivy get out of that volcano

they'll find I've pulled off the ultimate crime.

I've stolen all the information they use

to track me.

-It's just their wits against mine now.

-Information's exploding everywhere!

-It's all coming from the Central Processing Unit!

-So, if we head back to the source,

we'll find Carmen!

-But Ivy, no one's ever done that before while

the system was running!

-You don't know if you can do something

until you try, little bro.

[EFFORTS]

-Whoa! Hey!

Hey, wait for me!

-Nobody ever told salmon they couldn't swim upstream!

-Whoaaaa!

[CARMEN LAUGHS]

ZACK: I've got a bad feeling about this.

-Oh! What's happening?

[YELLING] Something's wrong.

-Whoa!

-Yiiii!!

-What ever made you think you could pull this off, Carmen?

-It wasn't so easy tracking criminals

when I was a detective, Zack.

-We didn't have all this high tech hardware.

-It was more what we had up here.

-Well, I guess you lost most of that

when you became a crook.

'Cause you're going down, here... and now!

-I really don't think so, Ivy.

Don't let the C-Five hit you on my way out.

-Oh, no you don't!

Not this time!

-Oh! Let go! Let me go!

[IMPACT GRUNTS]

-What? Hey... a clown nose?

-Maybe Carmen's trying to tell 'ya something, clowns.

-Yeah? Well,

this clown can use Carmen's own crime against her.

If I refract our info beams farther than...

Yes! Ivy, the Acme computer actually has

more speed than ever with that diamond.

-You mean we can track her C-Five coordinates?

-If we hurry!

-Let's go!

-Whoa! A circus!

-We should have known Carmen wanted the module

and the circus information.

-She had this escape planned from the beginning.

-Well, let's get to work.

-Which one do you think she is?

-Look for one with the red nose.

-Zack! They all have red noses.

-Okay, okay. It was just a first idea.

-Your plan backfired, Carmen.

-Well, did you?

-Guess you'll just have to wait

until next crime to find out for sure.
