[expl*sives BEEPING]

-Oh! This is gonna be the greatest thing ever.

[CHUCKLES]

-Oh, oh, uh, uh, Ira Gation here.

[CHUCKLES] Come in Carmen.

[WALKIE TALKIE] Phase one complete.

We're ready for take off.

[THUNDER]

[GRUNTS]

[BEEPING]

[SIRENS WAIL]

-Look out!!!

-Ahh! Oh-nooooo!!

-Airport security to McMinville Police Department!

Come in!

-Uh-oh...

[DRILLING]

-Help! Someone come in!

-Carmen Sandiego is trying to steal the Spruce Goose!

-Phase two complete, Carmen.

Super jet engine secured.

-Engage auxiliary engines.

-Engaging auxiliary engine.

[OVER P.A. SYSTEM] Stop the engines, Carmen.

The Spruce Goose'll never fly!

[EVIL LAUGHTER]

Carmen?

Are you there, Carmen?

Carmen?

-Oh boy, oh boy! And ditto oh boy!

Carmen's gone off the deep end this time Zackerino.

-Huh?

-Where is that sister of yours?

-Heeey, I can handle this case, Chief.

I've been picking up some great pointers

reading Sherlock Holmes.

-Phew!

-Sorry I'm late, Chief.

-Huh?

-You'll never guess what happened.

-It's elementary, my dear, Ivy.

The grease on your clothes,

your face and the untidy condition of your hair,

make it quite apparent that you're--

-Okay, okay, okay. Save it for the crime de jour, Zack.

Late last night, Carmen Sandiego flew the coop

with the Spruce Goose.

Wow! Say that three times fast.

-The Spruce Goose!?

Chief, that's the biggest airplane in the world!

-Tell me about it.

With a wing span of three hundred and twenty feet,

I'm wider than a football field is long.

CHIEF: This mondo humungo wooden plane was built

by a mondo millionaire, Howard Hughes,

back in the Nineteen Forties.

-But how did Carmen steal the Spruce Goose?

I thought it was so big, it never actually flew?

-Hughes did get in the air for a grand total

of about one mile.

But that was just long enough to prove to everybody

that he could do it.

Then he locked it up and never flew it again.

But here's where things really get weird, crime dogs.

-This is the site of the Spruce Goose heist,

or... phew... what's left of it.

-Man! Carmen has never trashed a robbery site like that.

-Whoa!

-Who's the cheese head with the had hairpiece, Chief?

-Ira Gation, a felon who has never,

ever worked for Carmen. Until last night, that is.

-Incoming hot tip, Chief!

-A recent theft of ninety-five hundred weather balloons

from weather stations around the world

has now been linked to Carmen Sandiego.

-Hey, don't scientists send high tech instruments up

with those balloons, to track weather patterns?

-Yeah. Wonder what Carmen wants with them?

-Whatever it is, it must have something to do

with the weather in France. Because France...

...is where the stolen balloons were last spotted.

-Let's say Carmen is interested in things

like wind, rain, temperature--...

Which are all parts of weather,

either affected by or caused by the sun. Cool.

-Player, cross-reference France and the sun a sec.

-The French Riviera is a world famous resort

known for its sunny beaches.

-Somehow I doubt Carmen's interested in a vacation.

Keep scanning.

-The Sun is ninety-three million miles

away from France.

And back in Nineteen-oh-five, world-famous scientist,

Albert Einstein, showed that a small amount of matter

could be changed into a huge amount of energy.

Just like the sun burning.

Auch dur lieher! What do you know?

A little piece of the sun, little,

like a postage stamp is little,

shines with the same power as...

...one and a half million candles!

Und there is so much energy pouring from the sun,

that it actually, poof, burns off weight

equal to a million elephants every second!

A million elephants!

Whoa! Whoaaa!

Auch dur lieber! Whoaaa!

-What's that, Chief? The world's largest tanning salon?

-Hmm... nope. But you want sun? You want France?

Well, slap on your shades and check this out.

One of the world's largest solar furnaces.

-Talk about French fried.

The ninety-five hundred mirror panels in this reflector oven

were designed to collect the sun's energy

and supply electricity to the town of Odeillo.

-Whoa. Freeze frame a sec.

-Ninety-five hundred is the exact number

of weather balloons--

-She stole and hid somewhere in France!

Zack, there must be a connection!

-It was elementary, my dear, Ivy.

Elementary.

-Player, C-Five us to Odeillo, France.

We're about to burst Carmen's weather balloon big time!

-Ooh-la-la! Yo are on your way from San Francisco,

California to ze beautiful country of France.

-Kids, you are going to love France

more than France loves Jerry Lewis!

-Wow, but I'm the lady yabba-ho!

-I still can't figure what the French see in him.

Maybe it's the sauces.

Anyway, France is the home of the Eiffel Tower,

the Mona Lisa-- LADY!

...and the ancient island abbey of Mont Saint Michel.

-Oh! Tre magnifique!

-Whoa! It's kinda like seeing Meatloaf

in concert, huh, Ivy?

-Zack, how could you possibly find any similarity between

a rock star like Meatloaf and this solar furnace?

-Well, they're both bigger than I ever imagined

when I finally got to see 'em in person.

-Go ahead, Chief.

[MIMICS HARD GUITAR]

♪ Meatloaf ain't got nothin 'on the Chiefload ♪

[MIMICS HARD GUITAR]

Oops! I forgot it was night time in France.

[BANG!] Huh!? Yikes! It's Carmen.

-Look at that! You were right, Zack.

She's using the weather balloons to steal the mirrors.

Come on, let's get her.

-Whoa! Help! Help!

-I'm getting a splitting headache! Oh-ahhh!

-Hang on, Chief! We're comin'!

-Please don't take my nose! I lub my nose!

There goes my nose!

-Whaaat!?

-She's got the furnace!

-Look out!

-Ohhhhhhh!

No braaaaakes!

-Whoooooooa! Ahhhhhh!

-Whoaaaaa!

[CHICKENS CLUCKING]

[MOANS]

-Now what, Chief?

-Hey!

-Well, I got myself back together,

but it looks like you two chickened out

and lost Carmen.

[LAUGHS] Chickened out. Get it? Chicken joke.

[SQUAWKS LIKE CHICKEN]

-Huh?

-What!?

Zack, look! A Carmen clue.

-Whoa! Now I know she's losing it, Chief.

This is just a big red "X marks the spot."

-What? Carmen's clues are never that easy. Duh!

-Well, there's only one way to find out what's up.

Track her down!

Player, C- Five us to the Brazilian Rain Forest.

-Pack up your Acme umbrellas, super sleuths...

This time you're headed from France to Brazil,

a country with a population of

one hundred fifty- eight million!

-The Brazilian Rain Forest is filled

with so many wild animals,

it makes Noah's Ark look like petting zoo.

There are Jaguars and Marmosets,

and Hyacinth Macaws, oh my!

-Oh, and one more thing.

The Amazon has the world's biggest rodent,

the Capybara.

[SCREAMS]

-Boy, that's a mighty mouse!

-Whoa, totally extreme, Chief.

-Yep. And about to be extremely totalled, big guy.

-Totalled as in wiped out?

-Don't scientists estimate about two Rain Forest species

disappear forever every single hour, Chief?

-And every year an area about the size of New York state

is cut or b*rned down by farmers and developers.

So watch your step!

[COUGHING & GAGGING]

-Ugh, Chief! I think the C-Five needs a tune-up.

Something's burning.

[FIRE ROARS]

-Whaaaa!

-It's not the C-Five, Zack! It's the rainforest!

Look out!

[SCREAM

-Let's get outta here!

-Grab hold!

-Whoaaaaa!

-Here goes nothinnnnng!!

[GASPS]

-I don't believe this.

Out of the fire, into the frying pan.

[GASPS]

-Do you see what I don't see?

-They stole a whole section of the Rain Forest!

But how does it fit into Carmen's plan?

-Huh!?

-Uh-oh! They think we're with Carmen.

-Well, good thing Acme's reputation

preceded us, little bro.

Now, let's get to the bottom of this.

-Look, Ivy, I'll handle this, okay?

I'll go toe-to-toe with him. My wit against his.

You know, like Sherlock Holmes.

Yeah, you might as well get a little shut eye.

Ira and I are probably going to wit and parry all night long,

before I get him to cr*ck.

[CRACKS KNUCKLES]

-Now, it's elementary, my dear fellow,

that you are working for one Carmen Sandiego and--

-She went to Chile...

the Le Paige Museum in San Pedro de Atacama.

What more do you want from me!?

-Wow! Nice work, Zack.

You broke him down in record time using, what,

just a bad English accent?

-Player, give us the scoop on San Pedro de Atacama.

-Whoa! Don't forget your canteens, crime dogs.

The Atacama Desert is the driest place on earth!

In fact, it's so dry, it's actually gone four hundred year

without a single drop of rain.

-Ivy, don't you think it's a little strange

Ira told us where Carmen was, so

-No more strange than the rest of this case, little bro...

but let's be careful in case it's a trap

-Player, C-Five us to the Paige Museum in San Pedro de Atacama.

-You think Carmen is really here?

-I think the answer's behind that door.

[GASP] Carmen!

You bit the bait, hook, line and sinker, detectives.

[LAUGH]

-Whatever you're up to, Carmen,

we'll figure it out and stop you.

-Whoa!

-And I'll help you.

-What!?

-Two Carmens?

[MANIACAL LAUGHTER]

-We knew there was something weird about this case

from the beginning.

-The real Carmen never would have

trashed that airport to steal the Spruce Goose.

-I hate to break up this meeting of the

Carmen Sandiego admiration society!

But I'll be the one collecting all the kudos

as soon as the sun comes up!

-Sarah Bellum!?

-But you work for Carmen.

You make all her high tech gadgets.

-Well... I got a little tired of being

Carmen's main brain, all right, Zachary?

-Nice jacket. -Hey!

-Maybe I'll get one!

-Do you get the feeling mayhe Sarah's finally

gone one glazed donut short of a dozen?

-Even you will have to appreciate

the sheer boldness of my first...

...solo caper, Carmen.

I'm going to steal the famous Giant of the Atacama!

-That's the largest representation

of a human figure in the world.

-Perfect for the new larger-than-life

Queen of Crime herself, me!

-You activated the solar furnace!

-And it's all ready to collect the first rays

of morning sunlight.

Putting out enough power to run

the super grow lights I've invented!

-You're going to grow a tropical rain forest

in the desert!? Why?

-You know, for a kid genius, Zack,

you sure are dumb as a wall.

The moisture that evaporates from my rain forest

will fill the clouds.

-Then I'll use the Spruce Goose to carry

a massive cloud seeding machine to drop salt crystals

that will help it rain, rain, rain!

[LAUGHTER]

-Do you know what would happen

if that much precipitation fell on the driest place

in the world?

-Well, let me think, Ivy.

Ah- ha!

For one thing, I'll be able to float the Giant away

on massive pontoons,

and pull off the grandest crime in history!

[LAUGHTER]

-Well, Sarah, I see working alone,

you've taken the most rational route.

Unfortunately, the bridge is out.

-The beauty of it is, if anything goes wrong,

you'll be the one taking all the blame, Carmen.

But if I succeed, then I'll reveal to the world

that I did it!

And the police will find you here,

happy to lock you away for all your past,

"oh-so-petty" crimes!

Where on Earth is Sarah Bellum?

Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

[LAUGHTER]

-Ivy, take out your shoelaces,

I've got an idea.

-Now I know why you're

such worthy adversaries, detectives.

Give me your compact, Ive.

-sh**t, unless we can get the mirror perpendicular

to the beam, it's useless.

-Catch, Ivy.

-Huh? Thanks.

But pumps aren't my style, Carmen.

-Push the micro-switch on the side of the heel.

-Well, what do you know?

-Ahhh! Look out!

[COUGHING]

-She got away! We had her!

[FRUSTRATED GROWL]

-We had her and we lost her!

-Forget her for now, Ivy.

We've got a certified wacko to take care of.

Come on!

-There she is.

-Hurry. Adjust the super grow lights.

The sun'll hegin to rise in minutes!

-Zack, look, the keypad by her left hand

controls everything.

-You redirect the mirror away from the furnace

while I redirect her.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

-Eee-yiiii!

-Let go of that!

[STRUGGLING GRUNTS]

-Gimme that!

-Whoaaaa!

-Whaaaaa!

-Look out!

-Stop them, men! Whaaa!

-Stop her, men!

-Huh? Which one is Carmen?

-Huh?

-She's an imposter!

-Ah! You should know the real Carmen.

-Wait, wait, wait.

It's a simple deduction really my dear ladies.

The real Carmen is only wearing one shoe.

-Now what, Sherlock? Carmen's shoe?

You kept her shoe?

-Now, the game is afoot and this is a shoe.

And I, with my superior powers of deductive logic,

have fashioned a test--...

-Ohhh...

-Well, we haven't got all week. Give me that.

Catch!

-You lose, Sarah!

[GASPS]

-I got her!

[IMPACT AND STRUGGLING GRUNTS]

-Way to go, Ivy!

[CLAPPING HER APPROVAL] Bravo, detectives.

Now I know why it's always so much fun

keeping one step ahead of you.

-What did you come back for, Carmen?

You could have just kept goin' when

we freed you from the museum.

-Every good detective needs a back-up, Zack!

-Bye, Sarah.

[RADIO CHATTER]

-I still don't get how you knew for sure

which one was the real Carmen.

-Elementary, my dear, Zack.

Sarah is left-handed, as evidenced by the keypad

on the left-hand side of her chair.

The real Carmen caught the shoe I tossed her

with her right hand.

The same hand she used to toss it to me

back in the museum.

-Whoa!

That is so Sherlock Holmes.

-If you knew which one was Carmen,

why didn't you grab her?

-Well, we could only nab one of you.

And she helped us escape back in the museum.

So, maybe we just owed her one.

-Besides... tomorrow's another day.

-Oh, can't handle the competition, Carmen?
