[RADAR BEEPING]

[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]

[ALARM BLARES]

[guards chatter]

[dogs barking]

-Timing is everything.

-You have ten seconds, Carmen.

-Give up when you're ready, Carmen.

Time is on our side.

[gasp]

-Time is on my side.

-The Chief's been on-line

with International Security for hours.

-Whatever Carmen ripped off has every country

from China to Canada in a panic.

-And she told the Player she's off to steal something

that doesn't even exist... Whatever that means.

-Okay, listen up, Shamuses...

Or is it "Shami?"

Well. This is big, big, big, big, big.

Last night, Carmen Sandiego hit a top secret

Russian research lab.

-What did she steal, Chief?

[ALARM] -I can't...

-What's she going to do with it?

-I can't tell you. It's top secret.

-Well, where'd she go, Chief?

-I can't... I can't...

... tell us. It's top secret?

-Nope. I can't figure that out.

-Well, what can you tell us?

-Only that if you don't catch Carmen

and return the stolen...

[ALARM]

-Okay, okay, okay! Anyway...

-This A.M., Carmen's main brain,

Professor Sarah Bellum, was casing out

the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

It could be our only lead to what Carmen's up to.

-Then C- us to Boston, Massachusetts, Player.

And hold the New England Clam Chowder.

-This is some of the silver crafted by

that famous American patriot...

... Paul Revere, who lived right here in Boston,

over two hundred years ago.

-And he was a very important part of

our American Revolution.

[gasp] Sarah Bellum and Four Chin Hunter.

-Why do I get the feeling they're not

chaperoning this kindergarten field trip?

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote

this famous poem about Paul.

"Listen my children and you shall hear...

"...Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.

On the eighteenth of April in seventy five."

"Hardly a man is now alive

who remembers that famous day and year..."

-Ivy!... What's going on?

-What happened? Where'd it go? It disappeared!

-Come on!

-Oooofffff....

-The bigger they are, the harder they fall, Four Chin!

-What the heck's that flag on the State House?

-That's strange.

It's the Queen of England's Royal Standard!

They fly it wherever she goes!

-I didn't know the Queen was visiting Boston...

WHOAAA!

[yelps]

-Zack! Hang on!

[crowd cheers]

-Take over, l'il bro'!

[grunts]

-Whoah!...

[grunts]

-Is she okay?

-She won't be slam-dancing for a while,

but she's fine.

[SIREN BLARES]

-We've got to find out how

they made Paul Revere's Liberty Bowl

just vanish like that.

-These must be the top secret Russian documents

Carmen stole last night!

-Experiments with speed of light?

Why would she want these?

-Player, info-scan Speed Of Light.

CHIEF: The speed of light is... Surprise!

... the rate at which light travels.

-Now, I know, it seems like you just turn on a light,

and, boing, there it is!

But that's because light travels

almost , , miles an hour.

We're talkin' over seven trips around the earth

in one second.

Think of the frequent flyer miles!

-Chief, are you okay?

-I'm fine, I'm fine...

[BRITISH ACCENT] I just can't seem to control

this bally accent slipping all over the place!

BMMPHHRRRRR....

I'll do a systems check.

Back after these messages. Tally-ho!

Sorry...

-Hey, my favorite scientist, Albert Einstein.

Zack, didn't Einstein believe

if something was able to go at an extremely high speed...

like say... the speed of light...

-That it would get real heavy,

and time would even slow down.

Yeah, that's part of his famous Theory of Relativity.

So?

-So... what if Professor Sarah Bellum used this research

and found a way to break the speed of light?

-Impossible! I mean, if she did that,

Carmen could actually travel through time!

Whoa!!

Carmen has figured out how to time travel! Ivy, look!

-Sarah Bellum was using this to monitor

a crime spree through history!

-Can't seem to understand what's happening, bobbies.

-I'll tell you what's happening!

Carmen's built a time machine.

-And what she's stealing back in the 's

is somehow changing history.

-The Queen's flag flying over the Boston State House.

Your English accent!

...Chief, how are we ever going to stop her now...

and get history back on track?

-Actually, Coppers -

Crime Net has suspected Carmen might try

something like this for quite some time.

-What?? -Why didn't you tell us?

-I couldn't...

... tell you. It's top secret!

-Right you are.

I give you Acme's newest secret w*apon

against time crime!

-The ChronoSkimmer! Named it myself.

You just punch in a date and destination, and -

[in BRITISH ACCENT] Crikey! That's where you'll end up.

-Hey, look, Chief.

If you think I'm going hip hoppin' through the ages

with this...

this... oversized garage door opener, you're...

-Gimme that! Chief, if you need us,

we'll be visiting Paul Revere in .

-I say, that's smashing of you!

-And we'll see if we can't clear up your accent!

-Hey! Bunker Hill!

CHIEF: Yep. Site of one of the first battles

of the American Revolution, on June , .

-But didn't the fight really start

on nearby Breeds Hill, Chief?

-Well, it started on Breeds, here,

but wound up on Bunker Hill, here,

when the Colonists ran out of a*mo.

-The ChronoSkimmer works!

We've gone back in time, Zack!

-This is really Boston, ?

-Hunh?!

[MARCHING SOUNDS]

-Colonial rebels! Seize them!

[soldier sounds]

-I don't believe this!

-Run!

-Well believe it, little bro'!

We're about to join the American Revolution!

[panting]

-They flew that way, Commander!

We'll collar the Colonial rebels!

-How come the Colonists aren't standing up

to those redcoats?!

-Ooofff...

-I'm so sorry. Let me help you with that silver...

"Mr. Paul Revere, Silversmith!"

-Ex-Silversmith, you mean.

-Zack! Zack! It's Paul Revere!

We're face-to-face with one of the most famous heroes

of the American Revolution.

-Who are you? What are you?

Witches? Are you witches?

-Dude, we're definitely not witches!

-But she can throw some pretty major attitude,

full moon or no.

-Zack!

-Traitor!

-We trusted you!

It was your responsibility to warn us

the British were coming...

-And you "fell" off your horse!

-I've told it, neighbors.

My horse stumbled and I with him.

I could not warn the Colonists as I promised!

-Zack, Paul Revere never made his famous Midnight Ride

to warn the Colonists the British were coming!

-That explains why America's turning British

in the future!

-Without Paul Revere's ride,

the American Revolution never happened!

-We colonists were thoroughly trounced by the British.

Thanks to my blunder.

-I'll bet your triangle hat Carmen Sandiego

had something to do with it, Paul.

-Who?

-Never mind, we just have to figure out

what she's stolen back here that's affecting history.

-Go ahead, Chief.

-Tootle-pip, Peelers ...

What does that mean?! Well...

Carmen's sent us a clue, mates. I'll C- it.

-What black conjuring is this?!

-Ahhh! I knew you to be witches!

But I've enough trouble without being hanged

for consorting with the likes of you!

-Boy, some hero he turns out to be.

-He is a hero, Zack.

-But everything's all screwed up because of Carmen.

Now, we've got to find her, catch her

and return whatever she's stolen,

in order to make things right again.

-Great! A golf ball and tee? This is our clue?

-There's a note.

"Find the missing link or never get off the ground."

"Missing link?"

-Player, info-scan "Missing Link"!

-The "Missing Link" describes a creature

or development which some scientists believe

would link primitive forms of man...

... to our more advanced ...

... er ... advanced? ...

modern dude... er... man.

-What does all this have to do with

the American Revolution, Zack?

-Think. What else could the golf ball

and tee stand for?

-Hmm. Wait a minute.

What if Carmen's not talking about a golf tee?

-What then?

-What if our missing link in this clue is tea,

that helped get the American Revolution

off the ground?

-You think Carmen's planning to steal tea

from the Boston Tea Party?!

-It fits her M.O. of stealing things

that don't exist in the future, Ivy.

-Well... we haven't got anything else.

It's worth a sh*t!

-ChronoSkimmer, do your stuff.

Get us to the Boston Harbor on December th, !

CHIEF: Don't sit on your crumpets, crime dogs... Ouch!

... you're ChronoSkimming to one of the

most infamous events in American history:

The Boston Tea Party!

Boston's home of the Old North Church...

Faneuil Hall.

It was the fave hangout for American Patriots

during the Revolution.

-This is the Old South Meeting House, Ivy.

[colonists chatter]

-There's Samuel Adams and John Hancock,

getting the Colonists ready to raid the tea ships.

-The unfair tax on that tea

by the King of England, shall not be paid

by any freedom-loving Colonist!

[ROAR OF AGREEMENT]

-Who knows how tea will mingle with salt water?!

-We can do no more to save our country!

[chanting] Boston Harbor's a tea pot tonight!...

Hurrah for Griffin's Wharf!

-Some of them are disguised as Indians!

They're going to throw the tea into the harbor,

just like they're supposed to!

-Well, if they're not afraid of the redcoats,

they'll never let Carmen get in the way!

Come on!

-Hurry up, Pearl. Carmen's ready to haul anchor.

-Put on these Dutch duds,

and let's head out to the open sea.

-Look! There's a redcoat aboard!

-That's no redcoat.

-That's Carmen Sandiego!

[CONFUSED, PANICKED SCREAMS]

-Ahhhhh! -Whoahhh!

-Sorry to break up your little tea party, detectives.

Sayonara.

[MORE SCREAMS]

-Woahhhhh!

-Zack!

[MORE SCREAMS]

-Zack!

-Ivy!

[coughing, spitting water]

-The Red Coats... We can't be seen here!

They'll think we stole the ships.

-The Colonists are doomed.

-It isn't supposed to be happening this way!

-Where would Carmen hide that tea?

-And why were her henchmen dressed

in Dutch clothing last night?

-Well, the British and the Dutch were

great trading rivals in the 's.

-Player - info-scan.

CHIEF: Great Britain and Holland, also known

as the Netherlands, which is also known as Holland...

... fought for years over the control of the seaways -

the key to trade in the s.

One famous Dutchman Admiral even flew a broom

at his masthead to boast that he would sweep

the British from the sea!

-Wait a minute, Zack.

Didn't Carmen say "Sayonara" when she left.

-Yeah, That's a Japanese salutation,

that means kinda'...

"See ya later."

-Info-scan Japanese trade in !

CHIEF: By , Japan hadn't allowed a single foreigner

in the country for years -

on the thr*at of death!

No Tourism Board here.

-However, some traders were let into Nagasaki

on a very limited basis.

But only if they agreed to make fools of themselves

in front of everyone, deny their religion,

and pay rent in highly valued peppercorns!

And, get this, the only ones allowed in to Japan were...

the Dutch!

-Bingo! That's why Carmen's henchmen

were disguised as Dutch traders last night.

-She must be on her way to Japan with that tea!

Let's blaze, Sis!

CHIEF: Hold on very tight, please -

next stop, the Island country of Japan, circa !

[laughing]

[whispers] I was hoping we'd put down somewhere

a little less public.

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

-Run!

[CROWD CHATTER]

-Guess we should have got Acme to spring

for some Dutch disguises.

[yells]

[roar]

-Somersault like your life depends on it.

Because it does!

[exertion grunts]

Just be getting back with the

other foolish Dutch traders. Haha.

-Woahhh!!

[coughing, spitting water]

-Nice touch, using the pond, Zack.

Gee! Wish I'd done it.

-It could be arranged.

-It doesn't look like Carmen's here.

-At least the tea is still aboard.

But where in time is she now?

"Poor Richard's Almanac."

-Hey, Benjamin Franklin wrote this Almanac.

-THE Benjamin Franklin?

-Yup. He was an inventor, a philosopher,

statesman, writer.

If anyone from this era is a match for Carmen Sandiego

it would be Ben Franklin.

-And look, this page is turned down.

" ."

-Well, what are we waiting for.

Let's Chronoskim to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

and see if Carmen's paying Ben Franklin a visit!

-Look! There's Ben Franklin now!

-He's doing his famous experiment to see

if lightning contains electricity.

[grunts]

[chuckling]

-Woman - I say!

What's the meaning of this?

-Come in, Chief! Come in.

We've got Carmen red-handed!

-Gumsh....uuuuuu.... ALARrrlllarrrM!

S ... Sis ... System ...

F ... fade ... fairweather ...

FAILURE!

-Chief! Go to auxiliary power!

-It's no use, Ivy! By stealing Ben Franklin's key,

Carmen's stopped his research.

-Come back this instant, whoever you are!

-And changed the development of all technology

that came afterwards.

-C'mon, if we don't get that key back,

there'll be no more computers!

-And without Acme's mainframe,

we'll be stuck here in time forever!!!
