[VIOLENT ROAR]

[WARNING GROWL]

[ROAR]

[ROARS & GROWLS]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[AIR HISSES]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[HELICOPTER HOVERS]

[chuckles]

[SPANISH] That's Carmen Sandiego!

[in SPANISH] Stop her!

-Not if I gave you a million year head start.

[grunt]

-Yaaa...

[grunt]

[some deep breaths]

[munching] Hmm. Not a bad time, Ivy.

-Not ba... gimme that...

You know, if you did this workout,

I'd put my money on the dummy.

-What do you have to say about that?

[GRUNTS]....YA...

-Go ahead chief!

-Ya...

-Ooof!! Ah! Oof! Ah! Oof! Ivy! Ahh!

-Ooops. Sorry, about that.

-Hey! Wassup, Chief?

-Ugh... Hopefully not my medical coverage.

-That's better. Okay, gumshoes.

Carmen is at it again.

Last night she stole four Russian Mil Mi- 's.

-What the heck's a Mil Mi- ?

Some new high potency vitamin?

-Try, the world's strongest helicopters, Zack.

-I got to fly one of these when I went

to Acme's international flight training program.

CHIEF: These babies can lift about thousand pounds.

That's roughly Asian elephants,

or fourteen million peanuts.

But not elephants that have eaten

fourteen million peanuts.

-So, I guess Carmen's all set if she wants

to rob a traveling circus.

-Only if it's traveling to India, gumshoes.

-Because the four copters were last seen

refueling in New Delhi, India's capital city.

It's anybody's guess where they're headed now.

-Ivy, what's the cruising range of those choppers?

-On a full t*nk...

they could be anywhere within

this five hundred mile flying radius.

-And Carmen's Henchman, Clay Tandoori,

was spotted at the refueling site in New Dehli.

-Homebase: Agra, India!

-Zack, look at this map.

Agra is a little over one hundred miles

from New Delhi.

-Let's C- out of here, and see if any of

his local cohorts can tell us what Tandoori

might be up to.

-Okay, sibling sleuths.

You're on your way from San Francisco to Agra, India.

Pack your anti-perspirant, the BIG can

'cause you're headed south east,

towards the equator.

...where the weather's hot this time of year,

and the local curry dishes are...

sss... ooh... even hotter!

-India, a land famous for that world figure,

Mahatma Gandhi, the regal Bengal Tigers

and the incredible Taj Mahal.

-Woah! You weren't kidding about the heat, huh, Chief?

This place is so hot,

nobody even bothers to take off their clothes

before swimming.

CHIEF: That's the Ganges River.

It's considered sacred.

And bathing is a part of a religious ceremony.

-Yup, we're talkin' about a land

of some million people --

That's like taking all the people

who live in the United States...

Multiplying them by roughly three times...

...Then putting them ALL in a country

less than half the size!

Okay, crime dogs,

we're comin' in for a landing in Agra, India.

[CROWD SOUNDS]

[SPEAKS HINDI]

-Um... Sorry. Zack's the one who speaks Hindi.

-Ah, I speak English as well! I am Shotu.

-Hey! Listen, what's that noise?

[HELICOPTER HOVERING]

-The four Mil Mi- 's!

-What's in that direction, Shotu?

-It is the Taj Mahal!

Arguably India's most famous landmark.

-Let's rock!

-I know all the short cuts!

Allow me to show you.

-Hmm.

-What have we got to lose?

-All right! Put your feet to the street, Shotu.

-And hurry, they're getting away!

-Sorry, I cannot disturb this cow.

They are sacred creatures in India.

We always give them the right-of-way.

[groans]

-Great. Held hostage by

twelve hundred pounds of hamburger.

-But, I said I knew shortcuts, did I not?

-Almost four hundred years ago,

a famous Indian ruler built the Taj Mahal

to the memory of his wife.

-It took over twenty-thousand men to build

this amazing tomb.

-Twenty thousand?

-The choppers are circling!

Whatever Carmen's after must be inside the Taj Mahal!

-What could they be after? This place is a tomb.

-It is made of white marble.

Perhaps these semi-precious stones encrusted

in the walls are... [EARTH RUMBLES]

-Huh? -Huh?

-Forget the walls, Shotu!

Carmen's after the roof!

-There's the stairs.

-I will send you a bill for the pedicab ride!

-Quick! Get the cables unhooked!

[struggling]

-Ah....

[struggling] Oh, man!

Ivy! I'm stuck!

-I'm coming Zack!

[grunts]

[grunts]

-It's those Acme Detectives! Take the controls!

-Get them, men!

-Uh-oh, looks like Clay Tandoori

doesn't like hitchhikers.

-Ivy, I don't think I'm having fun yet...

-The Ganges River is considered sacred in India.

-Well, sis. Any brilliant ideas now?

-If locals can swim in the Ganges

with their clothes on...

...then we can definitely swim in the Yamuna River,

down there, with ours.

-Are you crazy!

-Whoaaaaaa!

-And all I wanted to do was give them Carmen's clue.

-Whooah!

[COUGHING]

-When you jump into a river,

you kind of expect to hit water...

not... What IS this stuff?

-Native Indian spices. I'm in coriander...

-Yup. You're in cumin.

Perfect for making the spicy dishes they love

here in India.

-Looks like Carmen just cooked us up a clue herself.

[SPEAKING HINDI]

[chuckles]

-Look, Ivy! That merchant has the clue.

-Eh?

-Excuse me sir!

-Zack, tell him we'll pay him...

...fifty rupees for it. No more, no less.

-Ivy, you'll insult him if you don't haggle over a price.

-I'll show you how it's done.

-Hey Ivy!

-Wha--?!

-Hold it right there.

-A dhurrie rug, a tea pot, five silk scarves,

and ten pounds of Indian coffee...

You didn't haggle, Zack!

You bought everything he had.

-Hey, at least I got the box.

-Gimme that!

-Follow Hillary's route to the hill...

Follow Hillary's route to the hill...

-Ivy!

She must be talking about the explorer, Edmund Hillary!

-Right! His route led to the top of

the biggest "hill" in the world.

Player! Info-scan Mount Everest!

-And that's in the Himalaya's which

is only about miles from here!

CHIEF: Did someone mention the Himalayas?

Yes, you are looking at , feet

of splendid mountain!

And don't ask where they found

a tape measure that long to measure it!

-But I do know Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide,

Tenzing Norgay were the first men to every climb

to the top of Mount Everest.

The highest spot on the planet Earth!

-I say Tenzing, Old chap,

I can see your house from here.

Whooah!

-Hilary relied on the surefooted Tenzing

who was used to living , to , feet

above sea level...

climbing all kinds of mountains

and knew how to pack a serious yak!

-How many yaks could a pack yak pack

if a pack yak could pack yaks? Yahhhh!

-Player, fire up the C- ! We're off to Nepal.

-Whoah, whoah, whoah, wait a minute.

Wait a minute. There's something wrong here.

-I've flown MIL MI- 's, remember?

They can't go above six thousand feet!

There's no way Carmen could beon top of Mt. Everest.

-Then we need another Hillary.

-And another hill.

-Go ahead, Chief.

-Okay. Listen up, gumshoes.

We've learned that Carmen has stolen

a complete set of works dealing with genetic research.

-What would she want with that?

-Maybe she's going to do a little gardening.

Scientists use genetics to create

bigger and better fruits and vegetables.

-You know, someday they'll be able

to make potatoes as big as beach balls!

Imagine THOSE French Fries!

-They can't change animals with

this genetic engineering stuff, can they?

-Hey, genes are like the building blocks

that make up all living things, Ive.

They give you the color of your hair and eyes...

Heck, if scientists could mix and match genes,

they might someday be able to make animals

that don't exist now.

-And get this.

The scientists whose computer disks Carmen stole,

were also doing dinosaur research.

-Dinosaur research?

-Dinosaur research. What is there...

an echo in here?

-Zack, what if Carmen was going to use

the Taj Mahal dome for a giant cage,

and the genetic research to recreate...

-A dinosaur!?

-The stolen research proves it's highly unlikely

but, not out of the question,

it's crazy but it just might work

to find minute particles of Dinosaur genes

deep in the marrow of well preserved bones.

-And with Carmen's high tech equipment,

who knows what she's capable of?!

-If she got a hold of some Dinosaur genes

and spliced onto them...

-Woah-woah-woah.

Ivy, we're talking about making a dinosaur.

No one can really do that.

-You know it, and I know it.

But that doesn't mean Carmen

might not try it, Zack.

-Player, Info-Scan places that research

dinosaur bones.

CHIEF: The Natural History Museum of in London...

The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago...

The Smithsonian Institution in...

-Woah! Freeze Frame a sec!

-Ivy, the Smithsonian's in Washington, D.C.

-Yeah...?

-Carmen's clue said,

"Follow Hillary's route to the hill."

t's Capitol Hill!

-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton!

-Player, C- us back to the good ol' USA.

Stat!

CHIEF: Yes, sir, vote early, vote often!

-You're on your way from India

to the heart of the American Democratic Government:

Washington, D.C.

-Inside the buildings at the Smithsonian Institution,

you can see the Hope Diamond...

-Hey, the plane the Wright Brothers

made their first flight in!

-Yup, and the original Star-Splangled Banner!

[OMINOUS HISSING]

-What was that? [gasp]

[Hiss...]

-Ahhh......

-Well, well. What took you? -Huh?

-I would have been crushed if you'd missed

my greatest theft ever!

With everything I've stolen,

I'm going to have my own dinosaur.

-No one can do that!

-No one but Carmen Sandiego.

-No clue this time, kids.

-In India, you could buy a Dhurrie rug,

a silk scarf, and the spice coriander.

[grunt]

Next time, let's visit the Smithsonian

when it's open.

-Look. Getting locked in a storage room

by Carmen's henchmen isn't my idea of a party either.

-Go ahead, Chief.

-Did you know today's birds

evolved from big guys like these!

-Hard to believe, especially when they fly like that!

-Chief, the question is: where has Carmen flown.

-Sorry, sorry, Can't help it. I love dinosaurs!

[roar]

-You know, when I was a kid,

everyone said dinosaurs were related to lizards.

-Yeah, well they were wrong.

People used to think that, and that's why

they wound up calling them "dinosaurs" to begin with.

-From the Greek words, "dino" meaning terrible...

and "saurus" meaning lizard.

Rooaar!

-Some lizards today even look like dinosaurs!

-Oh, cool! Komodo Dragons!

-These little guys can get up to ten feet long

and weigh over pounds,

by eating small animals and even an occasional goat.

Eeeeewwww... That's gotta be messy.

-Ivy! Last night Carmen had a Komodo Dragon!

-Ooh! Player, Info-scan areas of the world

where these lizards exist?

-Wait, wait! Hold it! Komodo Dragons

only live in one place on the whole planet!

Indonesia! Player do your stuff!

CHIEF: I better call in some backup while you're on your way!

-Congratulations!

You two are on your way from Washington, D.C.

to Komodo Island in Indonesia!

-Woah! You wanna talk about

a real "family style" home!

Well check this out! Some Indonesian groups,

in Borneo and Sumatra, build these "long houses"...

... where they live with up to a hundred people!

But, if you're into the privacy thing...

...most traditional Indonesian houses

are built on six foot stilts!

Parents have to be careful when they tell their kids...

"Just play around the house today, Sukarno!"

-It looks like she could make

an army of dinosaurs here.

-I got my inspiration from the beautiful Komodo Dragons

on this island.

But now I's like something in a "larger" size, doctor.

-With this genetic research,

and my advanced technology,

I want you to make me my own dinosaur.

-I'll do what I... can... but Carmen?

-Do it. Please.

-How are we going to get those floppy discs?

-Whoah! Ivy, look!

[HISSING LOW]

[HISS]

[SCREAM]

[SOUNDS OF PANIC]

-Now!

-You get the disks. I'll work out an escape!

-Yes!

[gasp]

-Access denied!

-OOOooofff.

-Yeah, but it looks like I found the password.

[struggling]

Get off or I'm gonna make you sorry!

-Yeah, you and what...

-Hey... OOOOOfffff...

-This way!

[grunts, exertion]

-Whoa!!

-Zack! Get us off this island!

-Whoaa...!

-Look out!!

[HISSING]

-Run!!!

-WHOOAA!!

[HISSING]

-I leave you clues

to even the odds a little, detectives...

-But this time your presence was not requested.

-Give up, Carmen. We've got you.

[HISS]

-Correction. I've got you.

-The island is surrounded, Carmen Sandiego.

Give yourself up! There is no escape!

-Think again, Carmen. You can't...

-What? How does she do that?

[gasps]

-Duck!

-This island is surrounded by ships and aircraft.

You won't get far in that little helicopter.

[chuckles]

-I thought we had her for sure this time, Ivy.

-Maybe next time, little bro.

But meanwhile, look at the bright side.

We got everything back... and hey...

we didn't get eaten.
