[yawn] Caw, I'm up for a spo'a tea,
and me paper, I can tell you.
-I'll be glad when this special showing
of the Crown Jewels is over,
and they're back in the underground vault.
-Yeah, me, too.
You check the cases. I'll do the rounds.
-Alan! Someone's on the roof!
-'Old it right there!
[whistling]...
What's this?
[BLOWS POLICE WHISTLE]
[exertion]
-Whoa... -Ugh...
-It's Carmen Sandiego's lads!
-Hah! Imagine Carmen thinking she could ever
steal the Crown Jewels.
[laughs]
[they laugh]
-That'll show her, eh what?
-Tomorrow's front page ought to be
more exciting than this.
"White Lion Cubs Found in Africa."
Not exactly what you'd call earthshakin' now is...
-'Ello! Did you feel something?
-Yeah. I'm feelin' a bit queasy.
Better take a bit o' fresh air.
-I'll join you.
[small groan]
-Aaaaaaaaaauugh!
-Arghh! Blast it!
We're gonna catch what-all for this!
-We're not going to clear Tower Bridge!
-Jump for it, mate!
-WHOA...
-She's done it.
Carmen Sandiego has actually stolen the Crown Jewels
AND part of the Tower of London!
CHIEF: Okay, listen up, gumshoes.
You're looking at part of the world famous
Tower of London.
The central, White Tower to be exact!
-Now, it's a little confusing at first,
then it gets downright muddy.
The whole castle is actually
"The Tower of London," right?
And it has more than a dozen towers.
-Hey, Chief, wasn't The Tower of London
a famous prison?
-Exact-att*ck-Zack!
This place was a royal palace and a serious slammer,
both at the same time.
Talk about your Big House.
-Some of the more famous prisoners
were Ann Boleyn, the wife of King Henry the VIII
and Sir Walter Raleigh.
Not bad cell mates if you can get 'em.
-But the place is a museum now,
and holds the British Crown Jewels.
-So, what's it doing in Mongolia, Chief?
-Last night, Carmen Sandiego plucked it
right off the bank of the River Thames.
-And she deposited it miles away
in the Gobi Desert!
-I tell you, if the place was still
being used for a prison...
... the Queen of England would give
Carmen Sandiego the penthouse suite
and throw away the key!
-We're on our way to investigate.
Player, C- us out of here!
-Uh, one thing, though.
No way I'm wearing this to a desert, okay?
-Heelo! Think again, Zack.
Not all deserts are hot,
they just don't have water.
-Ivy's right, Zack!
You're on your way from San Francisco, California
to desolate Mongolia!
-Better zip up that parka, 'cause the Gobi Desert
is farther North than any other desert
in the world!
Winter temps can drop to ten degrees farenheit!
-Aw, great! The C- blew our landing again!
No Tower of London in sight.
-I hope you can speak Mongolian, Zack.
-Uh, not a word...
But some Mongolians speak Chinese.
-Good. Say something nice. Fast.
[calling out in Mandarin]
-Ya!...
-What did you say?!
-I'm not exactly sure!
I either asked for directions...
or said their sisters wash ugly camels!
[panting]
-Let go!
-They're Carmen's henchmen!
[grunts]
-Huh?
-Thanks for the lift,
but I think I'll ride with my brother,
if you don't mind.
-Mmph! Come on, let's get to the roof!
-Whoa! -Hit it!
-Whoah! What in the world was that?!
-Oh... so sorry.
I fired a flare g*n and frightened off your pursuers.
Inspector Sir Nigel Fenwyck, Scotland Yard.
-Cool! The famous London police!
I'm Zack. This is Ivy.
We're from the Acme Detective agency.
-It'll be very exciting working with me.
You'll learn ever so much.
-It appears only two diamond necklaces
are missing from the costume display.
-Why would Carmen go through this elaborate heist
for two necklaces and leave the Crown jewels behind?
-A simple Carmen clue,
which I discovered when I first arrived,
gives us the answer.
[whistle toots]
-There you have it.
Now, we'll take my jet to Vancouver, Canada,
where you can watch me catch Carmen red- handed.
-Wait a minute.
How could you deduce that it was Vancouver, Canada
that quickly?!
-Elementary, my dear, Ivy.
"Time" was the essential clue.
-Uh. Ivy, he's right!
It's six o'clock P.M. here in Mongolia,
but Carmen's clock is set at three A.M.
-Player, where in the world is it three o'clock
right now?
CHIEF: Submitted for your approval.
You've just crossed over into...
the Time Zones!
-When the sun is casting light
on one side of the planet, it's day --
but on the other side, it's night!
-Ooh, waaay gnarly!
'Cause right now, in the Pacific Time Zone,
it's three o'clock A.M. from Mexico
on to Alaska, dudes!
-Is there a famous steam clock anywhere
in that time zone?
-Check it out --
one of the most famous steam-clocks in the world
is right here in Vancouver, Canada!
-Come on, Ivy! This Sir Nigel guy is good!
-Wait a minute, Zack!
-Ugh... ah...
-Ugh!
-You know the first rule of good detective work.
Check and double-check all your clues
before making a deduction.
-Look!
-Now, why would Carmen use an eagle
instead of a cuckoo in a cuckoo clock?
And...
[span]CARMEN'S VOICE: [span] My next theft... [/span][/span]
[span]maybe it's a [span] hide-a in the park.[/span][/span]
-I bet Sir Nigel didn't even hear
this part of the clue.
-And I've already figured it out.
-You have?
-It's elementary, my dear Zack.
-An eagle was a famous symbol
of the ancient Romans.
[span]-My next theft... [/span]
[span]maybe it's a hide-a [span] in the park.[/span][/span]
-Maybe it's a "hide-a" in the park?
Carmen's doing a bad Italian accent.
-Ah... Ivy, that doesn't sound...
[RINGTONE] -Go ahead, Chief.
-Hot tip from Crime Net!
-We just confirmed it was Carmen Sandiego
who pulled off a heist two days ago:
The Kaimu Black Sand Beach in Hawaii.
-The whole beach?!
-And her Henchmen have now moved into an area
around Stanley Park in...
get this, Ivy... Vancouver, Canada.
-What could they be after?
Info-scan Stanley Park.
-Near an entrance to the park,
there's a group of totem poles,
carved by native Indian tribes like the Tlingit,
the Haida, and the...
-Woah! Wait a minute!
-Ivy, that was no Italian accent.
She meant the Haida Indian totem pole
in Stanley Park!
-You mean Sir Nigel was right?
-Player, the C- express!
-Okay, you globe-hopping sleuth-meisters.
You're on your way from Mongolia to Vancouver,
the largest city in British Columbia, Canada.
Know what I mean? Oops, never mind.
[CHAINSAWS BUZZING]
-All right! The Royal Canadian Mounted Police!
Sir Nigel must have called ahead to warn them.
-Wait a minute.
-Ah...
-Something's very wrong here.
-Tickets from the boss.
-Nowadays, Mounties only wear
their red coats for ceremonies.
These guys are fakes, Zack!
[Muffled Screams]
-Hey, what's going on?!
[struggling]
-Ahh!
-Hiyaaaa!
[GRUNT]
-Whoaa! Run Zack!
-All right.
That's enough exercise for tonight...
You're coming with us.
[struggling]
-What are you doing with us?
-Ivy, Canada EXPORTS logs,
they don't bring 'em back to the woods.
I got a bad feeling about this stop.
-You two have a good ride?
-Not as good as the one you're going to take!
[exertion]
[yells, mmphs]
-Ughhhhh...
-After them!
-They're heading into the woods!
-Don't lose 'em!
Carmen went to a lot of trouble to lure 'em here!
[huffing &puffing]
-Woahhh!! Ivy!!!
-I got you Zack!
-Whaoo....
-Whoa!!!!
-Help!! Whao...
-Ya.... -Ugh!
-Did you see them land?
-No. Maybe they're further up the river.
[catch breath]
-Zack, this is brilliant.
-Thank the beavers.
They build these lodges for warmth in the winter,
and for protection from predators...
like Carmen's henchmen.
All the air we could want...
... And now if we only liked to eat bark.
-We're sure lucky that beaver dam
was in the right place at the right time.
-Lucky would be having one of those henchman's tickets.
Then we could figure out Carmen's next move.
-Hey, what's this imprint here, Sis?
-Whoah! I must've rolled on something when I fell.
-Got a mirror?
-Still looks backwards to me.
-That's because the alphabet isn't always
as simple as ABC, Ivy.
We write with Roman letters.
But this is the Cyrillic alphabet...
... used in Russia, and Bulgaria.
-What's it say?
-It's... a...
ticket for the Trans-Siberian Express!
-Wa-hoo! Player C- us to there!
CHIEF: You're on your way from Vancouver, Canada
to over five million square miles of some of
the coldest land on earth - Russian Siberia!
-Brrr... Temperatures get to...
check this out... degrees below zero!
They say, in the dead of winter you can spit
and it freezes before it hits the ground,
if that's your idea of a good time.
[in Russian] Bozhemoi!
-Well, at least the C- hit the mark this time.
-Meow! -Aaauuuuggh!
-Hey... a purebred Russian Blue.
-What is it with you and cats, Zack?
-Whoa, you feeds his cat caviar, Ivy.
-Ivy! Could it be Carmen's after a box car
full of Caviar?!
-Sure. But how does caviar connect
with the Totem pole, the black Hawaiian sand,
and two necklaces?
-It's caviar to us.
But to Misha, fish eggs are
the ultimate CAT FOOD!
-If Carmen's a cat lover,
then she sees "kitty collars" where we see
diamond necklaces.
To us, they're totem poles, but to her they're
the ultimate kitty "scratching posts!"
-Okay, I'll bite.
But how does the black beach sand
fit into this cat theory?
-Aw, Ivy, if you've got to ask that,
you should never own a cat.
-And if my hunch is correct,
Carmen's henchmen should be in the Caviar box car
right this minute!
-Ten seconds to the trestle.
-Five seconds between each hole.
-Now...
Now...
-Tickets please?
-Am I too late?
[RINGTONE] -Go ahead, Chief.
-I've got a Scotland Yard Roster report
you might be interested in.
-This is Sir Nigel Fenwyck of Scotland Yard!
-And this is Frank M. Poster,
a Carmen Sandiego henchman and master of disguise.
-I knew there was something I didn't like about you!
-Well I guess the little masquerade is over.
So now it's my job to throw you off the track,
so to speak.
[evil laugh]
-Another of Vancouver, Canada's
top manufactured products is lumber.
-You've forgotten one detail, Mr. "Frank M. Poster."
We have you.
And when this train stops you'll be arrested
by the Russian police.
Oh my! How embarrassing.
I could just sink right through the floor.
-No you don't! -Ivyyy!
[IN RUSSIAN] -Dos vedanya!
-Ivy!!
-Swing, Zack! It's the only way!
-Woah!
-Woahh!
[impact grunts] Ooooofffff!
-Ivy?
-Yeah, Zack?
-We're both smart people.
So how come we always wind up doing things
that make us look like we have
the I.Q. of beef jerky?
-I dunno. Forget it. Now think!
If Carmen's shopping for a kitty,
what kind do you think she'd go after.
-Player, Info-scan cats.
-Ancient Egyptians domesticated cats,
at first, to control rats.
But later they were considered sacred.
The cats, not the rats.
-Wait a minute!
If Carmen is using the diamond necklaces
for collars, she'd have to be after some pretty big cats.
-Put 'em all the way up! Put 'em all the way UUUUP!
I didn't know he was your daaaawg!
-Lions and Tigers and Leopards, oh my!
-Maybe she's after an Asian Lion.
They're the rarest big cats in the world
with only about left.
-Ahh, Carmen wouldn't settle for just rare.
She'd pick unique.
-White lions are among the most unique
in the world.
Though native to South Africa,
two cubs are being cared for in a clinic
in Zimbabwe.
-Whoah! What are the odds on white lion cubs like that?
-Funny you should ask.
It's very rare.
Less than % of all lions in the world
are white lions, and the odds against two lions...
Ooh, baby! Astronomical!
-L'il bro', it's as good a start as any.
-Player, C- us to the Zambeze National Park
in Zimbabwe, Africa.
-From one of the coldest places on Earth
to one of the hottest! Siberia, Russia to Africa!
-The second largest continent in the world - Africa -
is the home of the Saharah Desert,
Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya,
and the Tropical Rainforest of the Congo!
-All right, listen up!
You're headed to one of Africa's
independent countries, Zimbabwe!
The Zambeze National Park is on the Zambezi River...
which flows into a waterfall, that's...
get this...
One mile wide and feet high!
It was named by the famous Dr. Livingstone
to honor the queen of England.
-Queen Victoria, what shall we name this?
Her Majesty's Cataracts!
No, sounds like an eye problem...
Queen's Cascade!... No, bigger!
AHAH!
-Whoahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
-By Jove that's it! Victoria Falls!
-Look! A Carmen Henchman.
-You go high. I'll go low.
-Huh? Dah. -Ugh!
-Tie him up with these.
[gasp] Carmen!
-Quick, Zack. Help me tie this guy up!
-She's getting away!
Look let's take those zebras.
-Ivy, Zebras don't tame easily!
We could never ride one!
-Well, we can't chase Carmen on our own two feet!
-Nope, but we can on their two feet.
-Ostriches??!
-These guys are custom-made for an African chase!
They can go from zero to forty miles an hour
in less than ten seconds!
-Mosi oa Tunya! Mosi oa Tunya!
-Good work, Ivy.
I'll call in the cavalry.
You head 'em off at the pass.
-Carmen stole one of their canoes!
She headed down river!
-What he said back there...
Mosi oa Tunya. What does that mean?
-I don't know.
-I got bad news, Ivy.
There's Carmen's Henchman coming from behind.
-I got worse news, Zack!
There's a waterfall ahead!
-I figured it out! Mosi Da Tanya is their word
for Victoria Falls,
and that's a three hundred and fifty foot drop!
-Ugh.
-Mmph!
I got the other one, Ivy!
-We gotta get out now!
[exertion] -Hurry Ivy.
My food can't hold the boat much longer.
-Huh?
-Let go of the leash, Carmen!
-No! I've created a splendid environment
on my own private game preserve, Ivy.
You give her up!
[SIRENS APPROACH]
-Game's over, Carmen. You lose.
[exertion]
[gasp] Carmen, give me your hand!
You'll go over the falls!
-Carmen!!! NOOO!!
-Gasps!
-Ciao!
-Carmen's done it again, huh?
-Yeah, well, at least we saved
everything she stole...
including these little guys.
-Woahhhh!!!... Mmph!
[laughing] No... stop... stop!
Help! Ivy, help me! Stop!
