[SIRENS WAIL]

-Pull over and give yourself up, Carmen Sandiego!

-Did you see that?!

-Blast it!

-A thirty mile perimeter has been secured.

There is no escape.

[POLICE CHATTER]

-There she is, Captain!

-Give up, Carmen Sandiego.

You can't steal Stonehenge

with all of Scotland Yard looking on!

What do you say to that?!

[PANICKED CHATTER]

-I say... "cheerio."

[CONFUSED CHATTER]

-Is there no one on earth

who can catch Carmen Sandiego?

-Oh no! Look at this, Zack.

My horoscope is awful today.

-Oh, come on, Ivy. You know you can't believe

everything you read in the newspaper.

-But Zack! Listen to this -

"Watch your step today.

Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

[RINGTONE]

-Sounds like the Chief - wonder what's up.

Go ahead Chief.

-'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, Guv'ners!

Scotland Yard just called.

Seems Carmen Sandiego has stolen... get this...

Stonehenge! [laughs]

-And you're in a good mood because of this?

-No. I'm in a good mood because

I always wanted muscles like this!

Pretty buff, huh?

And because the Player wants you two

on the job immediately.

-Player, C- us to the scene of the crime!

"I'll be back."

-Okay, listen up, gumshoes.

You're heading across the Atlantic to England

or "hopping across the pond,"

as the Brits like to say!

-Ah, glorious England... God Save the Queen!

Home of Buckingham Palace...

and Big Ben which is the Bell inside the clock tower

of the House of Parliament!

-Your destination is Salisbury Plain,

eighty miles west of London,

where you'll see...

absolutely nothing!

Because Carmen stole all stones that make up

this ancient ruin, known as Stonehenge!

-Now, nobody knows EXACTLY who built

this year old circle of stone.

-But it turns out that there are more than

similar ruins found all over the British Isles.

-Yeah, ya gotta hand it to her,

she only steals the very best.

-Pip, pip, cheerio! 'Ave a good day!

I am outta 'ere!

-Hunh?!

-Oh, yecch!!

You still say horoscopes are just a lot of hocus pocus?

-If you want good things to happen, Ivy,

you gotta look on the bright side.

I mean, hey, it could be raining.

[THUNDER]

-See I told you....

-No. Don't start.

Your horoscopes did not do this.

-England's a very wet country, Ivy.

It rains almost days a year.

-And where's the bright side in that,

"Mr. Have a Nice Day"?

-Um, well... okay. Fine.

But it's not known for earthquakes,

like back in San Francisco, right?

[EARTH RUMBLES]

-Whoah! "If it can go wrong, it wiiiilll!!"

-Wha--?!

-Looks like Carmen's replacing Stonehenge

with her own monolith.

-Ivy, don't! It could be a trap!

-Catch!

-Or a b*mb!

-Ugh!

-Nah! A b*mb's not Carmen's style, li'l bro.

-But a clue-in-the-box is!

[MUSIC BOX CHIMES]

-Whoaa!

-Check out the get-up on this stone rag doll.

-Definitely not from the same place or time

as Stonehenge.

It looks South American.

-Hey! Gimme that! It's Mayan!

-Hey, I went up and got it.

-No. Not "mine." "Mayan." Look!

-Wow! Those are Mayan glyphs...

ancient writings of the Mayan people.

-Whose carvings are found on ruins

in the Yucatan Peninsula!

-Player, C- us to...

-Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute!

To where, Zack?

The Mayans lived all over the Yucatan Peninsula.

It's more than , square miles

of dense jungle and modern cities.

-And Carmen could be anywhere, huh?

-Right. We need someone who can make this doll

tell us exactly where she is.

-Player, is there an Acme Detective

who's an expert in Archeology?

CHIEF: Hold onto your P.I. pith helmets, gumshoes!

One of our top detectives is "diggin"

the rock scene on Ellesemere Island...

...less than miles from the North Pole,

in the Canadian Arctic.

-What?!

-Woahhhh!!!

-Chief! You know I don't do heights!

-Zack, Ivy. Good to see you.

The Chief said you need some help

with a Carmen clue.

-We do. She left this statue at Stonehenge.

-Amati, if I fell would I survive?

-Sure... until you hit the bottom.

[laughs]

[whimper] Great.

-This is definitely an ancient Mayan statue

from the Yucatan, Ivy.

-But what's the connection?

What does Stonehenge, in England,

have in common with the Mayans in the Yucatan?

... over two thousand years ago...

...the ancient Mayans invented a modern calendar,

like our own.

And many people believe...

... that at Stonehenge, certain stones mark

the exact spot where the sun rises in

the summer solstice - the longest day of the year.

Other stones mark where it sets

on the winter solstice -

the shortest day of the year.

-Boy! Was that short!

-And it's even aligned for the equinoxes,

when night and day are exactly the same length.

-Like a stone age computer!

-Or a ton calendar.

-Cool....

-But Stonehenge is a lot of different things

to different people.

Some Myths even say it's an ancient landing site

for UFOs.

-[laughing] UFOs?! But that's ridiculous.

-Hey, it's a lot less ridiculous than

you believing in that "astrology" junk.

I for one think there could be intelligent life

on other planets.

-Amati, what about this "shield" Carmen

attached to the doll's arm...

what do you make of that?

-There was a famous boy king of the Mayans,

called Pacal, a name which meant "shield."

-That's got to be it!

Where did this Pacal dude rule?

-The Mayan city of Palanque. But be careful.

You could be stepping right into a Carmen trap.

-Thanks, Amati. We owe you one.

Player, C- us out of here!

CHIEF: Break out the sun screen, dudes and dudettes,

you're heading due South to the Yucatan Peninsula.

-A peninsula

...I like that word - peninsula...

Peninsula is an area of land surrounded

on three sides by water. Break out the floaties

'cause this peninsula, my friends,

is surrounded by the Gulf Of Mexico,

and the Caribbean Sea!

-The Mayans who lived here over years ago,

were a very advanced American Indian people.

They built incredible cities,

with ten story buildings -- I call 'em cloud scrapers

and modern roadways, using techniques

we still can't figure out today.

-Next stop. The Yucatan!

-The Temple of Inscriptions.

That's where Pacal is buried.

-Is any of this case gonna happen

at ground level?

[GROWLS]

-The giant circle of stones in Salisbury England

is called Stonehenge.

-Now, hurry up with that trap...

... so we can go watch for

those two detectives to arrive.

-Ivy! Did you hear that?

-Yeah! This way!

-Yeah! Carmen takes a quick look at the sarcophagus

downstairs, then she's off to the Pacific island heist,

leaving us to take care of those Acme detectives.

-Perfect. Now let's go keep an eye out for them.

[whispering] That's Carmen's biggest henchman,

Four-Chin Hunter.

-But Carmen's already gone.

-Hmm. Well, maybe we can figure out

where she went if we can find

that sarcophogus they mentioned.

-Ivy! This way! It's them!

-Get them!

-Let's go! C'mon!

[GROWLS]

[gasp] Zack!

-It's a jaguar! Run!

[jaguar roars]

-Looks like our little trap worked.

What the ...?!

[jaguar roars]

-They can't have gotten far. Come on!

-We're trapped. There's no way out.

-Zack! What are you doing?

-Some crypts have "speaking tubes" built into the walls.

Ancient tribes believed,

that way, their dead could speak to the spirit world. -

Hah! Voila!

-Looks like an ordinary cr*ck to me.

-Trust me. It'll do the trick.

-Don't worry, Ivy.

There's no way they'll ever look for us down here.

-Where is he?

ZACK'S VOICE: This tomb's the safest place to be.

-Come on. They're downstairs.

-Woahhhh!

[grunt] Uhhh!

-Gotcha' Four-Chin!

[RINGTONE]

-What's up Chief?

-Hot Tip! This just in from Crime Net!

-Carmen's henchmen have now stolen

the Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico.

She wasn't spotted at the scene of the crime but...

-Puerto Rico!

That must be the "island theft"

Carmen was heading for!

Now, we've missed her.

-Hah! Think again, little bro'!

Puerto Rico's in the Atlantic Ocean.

Four-Chin said she was headed to a Pacific island.

-I'll alert the local authorities

to pick up these two.

I love alerting local authorities.

You figure out where on Earth Carmen Sandiego is!

-You said she came down here

to look at Pacal's sarcophagus. Why?

-I'm not tellin' you a thing.

-Player. We need a connection between Stonehenge,

the Arecibo telescope, and Mayan leader, Pacal.

CHIEF: Pacal was a great ruler of the Mayan people,

over years ago.

-Boy, was he having a bad hair day or what, huh, Chief?

-Trust me, home.

That "do" was way fly back in !

-And check it out!

He was put in charge of the whole country

when he was only twelve years old!

-What did you do this weekend?

-I plowed and planted corn.

-I studied for my geometry quiz.

[goofy laugh] Like ...

I just hung out in the town square.

-I passed twenty three laws.

Gave away fifty scholarships.

Arbitrated a peasant uprising

and searched for intelligent life on other planets.

-Woah! Freeze Frame! Did you hear that?

-Hey, the Mayans were big on astronomy.

And some people, not many, I'm not naming names,

but some people, even believe they became

such an advanced culture...

... because they had... get this...

help from extraterrestrials! Ahhhhhh!

-Oh, come on, Chief.

You don't expect me to buy that?

-Hey! It's wild... it's crazy...

it's a big piece of fruitcake,

but it explains the amazing similarities

between the Mayan pyramids...

...and the Egyptian pyramids which were built

thousands of miles - and thousands of years apart.

-Hey, it's just one theory.

-Woah, look what Pacal had carved on his tomb!

-It almost looks like...

-He's flying an ancient rocket ship!

-Sure...but...it could be almost anything.

-And didn't Amati say some people believe

ancient Stonehenge was a U.F.O landing site?!

-So?

-So, Carmen's henchmen just stole NASA's

Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico, Ivy.

-A telescope which has a function!

-To send out signals searching for

intelligent life somewhere else in the universe!

-You think Carmen's trying to make contact

with an extraterrestrial?!

-If she succeeded, wouldn't that be

the coolest thing ever?!

-Well... yeah, if she weren't stealing to do it!

-Player, scroll other items and areas in the world

believed to be associated with U.F.O.'s.

CHIEF: Witness if you will, an area known as

the Bermuda Triangle, where many ships and planes

have vanished under mysterious circumstances.

-No, no! Narrow the scan.

She went to a Pacific Island for her next heist.

-There are giant statues called Maoi Stone heads

on Easter Island, which are sometimes

linked with stories about ancient alien astronauts.

-Whew! Sounds like the place to start!

-C- us to Easter Island, pronto!

[EARTH RUMBLES]

[GASP]

-Tokotoko!! Toko pau!

[yelp]

-See. Your horoscope's wrong.

You could have landed in the water

and you didn't this time.

[gasps, yells, choking]

[coughing]

If it can go wrong it will!

-We'll never make it!

[COUGHING SPUTTERING]

-Swim, Zack! C'mon! Keep swimming!!!

-The ancient Mayans had calendars,

roads, and schools.

-Swim, Zack! Swim!

-Incoming!!

-Carmen Sandiego saving us??!

Nobody's horoscope could've called that one.

-These Maoi Stone heads are so beautiful.

-You think there's any way they could have been

carved in honor of ancient space travelers, Ivy?

-I don't believe it, but Carmen's obviously

not taking any chances that it's just a myth.

-And the real question is,

where could she be taking everything?

-Player, bring up Crime Net's video tape

on any witnesses to the Arecibo Telescope robbery.

-Think maybe we'll find a stray clue

hanging around Puerto Rico?

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

-He says he was tied up and locked in a security hut...

All I remember is one of the henchmen whistling...

♪ [WHISTLING "WALTZING MATILDA"] ♪

-Huh! Catchy tune.

[CONTINUES WHISTLING]

-Mm-mm. That's a dead end.

Player, info-scan the Arecibo Telescope itself.

-Yes, folks! It's here!

The world's largest radio telescope!

You wanna send signals deep, deep, deep into spac?

You wanna contact aliens and tell them to phone home?

Well, this is the way to go! Hey, I won't lie to ya!

Act fast! These million dollar babies

are practically blowing out the door!

-Access areas in the world where

a thousand foot radio telescope would operate best.

-The Serengeti Plains, Africa.

Siberia, Russia. Ayers Rock...

-Hold it!

[CONTINUES WHISTLING]

Ivy, the song's called "Waltzing Matilda"!

-So?

-So don't you see? The security guard

heard one of Carmen's local henchmen

whistling "Waltzing Matilda,"

a famous Australian song.

-And Ayers Rock is in the Australian Outback!

-Ayers Rock, Australia.

-There's got to be a connection!

C- us to Australia! Big time!

-All right, Mates! You're on your way

from Easter Island to the Land Down Under...

Australia!

Australia is one of the seven continents of the world.

In fact, it's the world's smallest continent,

to be exact...

But don't let that fool ya!

-There are all kinds of plants and animals

not found anywhere else in the world.

Like the kangaroo... the Duckbill Platypus...

the koala bear... and the world's largest barrier reef.

-Wouldn't it be incredible if Carmen

could actually contact intelligent life

in outer space.

[whispering] Yes, it would be incredible, Zack.

But wouldn't it be even more incredible

if we were able to catch her tonight?

-There she is, Ivy!

[THUNDER]

[scream]

-Zack! Hang on!

-You!

[struggling] We're here to arrest you, Carmen.

-Oh, no! Ivy, don't let go!

-It looks as though you've already

got your hands full, Ivy.

And I saved you once today. Goodbye.

-Swing, Zack! After her!

-Ahhhh! Ugh!

-Woahhh!!! [exertion]

-We're gonna fall, Ivy.

I know it!

[grunts on landing]

-Give yourself up, Carmen.

The only way out is back up the wires to the ladder.

It's over!

-Wrong, Ivy. It's just beginning.

-A flying saucer! She did it, Ivy.

-Hunh?!

-No she didn't. That's no alien...

that's one of her own Hovercrafts.

-Well, I'd say your horoscope was way wrong today, Ivy.

-I guess so, little bro.

We stopped Carmen's plan and saved

these world treasures.

Next time we'll stop her too.
