[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!
