04x03 - The Robo Caper

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

- [sighs]
- [over the phone] Hello?

Who is this?

You phoned us.

I did?

Remember?

We have traced your location.
Do you wish to come in from the cold?

I'll be waiting.

Hey!

- Watch out!
- [car approaching]

Takk?

You're welcome.

But maybe you should look
where you're going.

Yes, of course.

Uh, my bus.

- [tire screeching]
- [car honking]

Hey!

You dropped your wallet!

[Gunnar] He seemed to be in a state
of bewilderment.

and did not recognize my voice.

But if Crackle remembered
how to contact us,

there is no telling
what else he might remember.

Or, who he might decide to share it with,
if he finds himself in a chattin' mood.

Cleaners, please plug
this potential leak in Reykjavik.

[whirring]

[Dr. Bellum] Greetings from the Himalayas.
I have some exciting news.

You decided to change a light bulb?

[chuckles]
Oh, I see. One moment, coming.

Oh, yeah, a little too much lift. Whoopsy!

- [grunts]
- [thuds]

Ugh. See? Too many toys!

Would this be about
the test run, Dr. Bellum?

For the robot?

Uh, yes, yes, indeed.

I feel that Roby is ready
for his first foray out into the world.

And I wish to suggest Singapore
for a visit to its new Science Museum,

which is currently
presenting an exhibit on…

Ugh, of course,
you would plot a tech caper.

If you would allow me to finish, Cleo,

an exhibit on the Science
and History of Gold,

the main attraction being,
this unique and brilliant crown,

once worn by a Himalayan oracle,

lined with precious gems
and -karat gold.

[laughs] Now you are speaking
my language, Saira.

[chattering]

Mmm.

How can you even look at chocolate
after what we just went through?

Not looking, eating. Mmm.

[phone rings]

So, Player, how's life on the inside?

[Player] Well, math stinks,
but I am acing geography.

Uh. You're a chip off the ol' fedora.
What's the latest?

Something's VILE's going down
in Singapore tonight, at a Science Museum.

I'll dig around for more info.

But that may be a challenge
with school's "No Cell Phones" policy.

I remember those days.

I re-routed your flight, Red.
Gotta run to class.

[Carmen] Ivy, we're heading for Singapore.

An island off the southern tip
of Malaysia, in Southeast Asia.

It's the only island in the world
that's both a city and its own country.

The name Singapore translates
as "Lion City,"

despite the city's origins
as a fishing village.

That may explain why the Merlion
is such a popular symbol there.

It's a mythical creature
with a lion's head

and the body of a fish.

[Ivy] Oh, "merlion" as in mermaid.
I get it now!

[Carmen] The most famous Merlion statue

sits near the mouth
of the Singapore river,

overlooking Marina Bay.

[Ivy] Whoa.
It's like the city of the future.

Is that an alien spaceship?

[Carmen] It's Singapore's
new Science Museum, VILE's target.

Beaming up now.

No hostile intergalactic
life forms in sight…

but we are definitely not alone.

[Carmen] No alarms either.

Nice of VILE to disable
the security system for me,

with Player tied up in class.

They could still be inside.
Be careful in there, Carm.

Not enough gold in these inventions
to be of monetary interest to VILE.

[robot powering up]

Unless VILE's targeting tech,

there doesn't seem to be
a single jewel in the… crown.

[Cleo] Carmen Sandiego, what a surprise.

It is we who possess
the element of surprise, Cleo.

Watch.

[whirs]

- [gasps]
- [thuds]

[shatters]

[groans]

She's quick, I'll give her that.

[groans]

- [thuds]
- [grunts]

[gasps]

[whirs]

[Carmen] Not so fast.

Easy come, easy go.

What?

Copycat.

[thuds]

[grunts]

Arriverderci, tin man!

[grunts, groaning]

[grunts]

[splashes]

[sighs]

[burbling]

Ivy, I'm heading away
from the museum on the Helix Bridge

- with a giant robot on my tail.
- [Ivy] What?

Persistent.

[grunts]

[groans]

- [vehicle approaching]
- [crashes]

[gasps] No!

[tire screeching]

Whoo! Robot down!

Hey, Carm, you all right?

- [clattering]
- [thuds]

[thuds]

Even Steven.
We have something that belongs to it.

He did not wait.

He can't have gone far. Comb the streets.

[doorbell rings]

- [doorbell ringing]
- Hello? Anyone home?

- [door lock clicks]
- [door opens]

Hver ertu?

What?

[groans]

- [thuds]
- [panting]

Who are you?

Graham Calloway.

What are you doing in my house?

- I'm… not really sure.
- [clinking]

I am calling the police.

CARMEN BRAND OUTERWEAR

[Zack] I can't believe you got
to see a real robot!

[Ivy] Yeah, I got to see it.

As my rental van
munched its sorry ro-butt.

I'm all right, Zack.

I guarantee you
it was more traumatic for it than me.

I was actually practicing
the Pressure Point Pinch

Shadowsan taught me while you were away.

[exclaims]

You're supposed to be out cold by now.

Ah. You keep training, 'bro.

- Nothing?
- Nothing.

It would seem that Dr. Bellum
finally succeeded

in launching her ongoing pet project.

[Shadowsan] Dr. Bellum's most
highly equipped laboratory

is nestled among
the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal.

That is where she would often retreat,

to conduct her experiments in robotics.

Think the rest of her robot

might have delivered
the stolen crown to her there?

Considering that we have no clue
where VILE Faculty calls home these days,

that would be a reasonable place to look.

We'll have Player grab
a satellite scan of the area

before he starts his homework tonight.

[cellphone beeping]

Player, your ears must be burning,
we were just talking about you.

[Player] Are you sitting down, Red?

Remember how you had me set
a global alert for Gray,

so you'd know if he ever got into trouble?

Well, I just got ping'd.

An Australian citizen
named Graham Calloway

was just arrested in Reykjavik, Iceland.

[sighs] Mr. Bouchard, how many times
do I need to tell you?

No cell phones in the classroom.

But this is important...

Rules are rules.
You can get it back after school.

And detention.

[thuds]

Gray's in jail. In Reykjavik.

[slurps] Wait, is that in Australia?

I thought he was a good guy now?

Reykjavik's in Iceland,

which has one
of the lowest crime rates in the world.

So, maybe Gray was arrested for littering.

While on vacation?

If we managed to learn
that Gray was arrested there,

it is safe to assume
that VILE will also learn the news.

And you know
they do not tolerate loose ends.

The crown will have to wait.

We need to get to Gray before they do.

Zack, Ivy.

But I need to stay here and take care of...

I will be fine.
I have a back scratcher now.

[Ivy] And we're off to Iceland.

Sounds cold.

Too bad Gray wasn't arrested in Greenland.

It says here Greenland
is much colder and icier.

[Ivy] But when Iceland does get cold,
the locals warm up.

Thanks to the country's
many active volcanoes.

[Zack] Ooh, almost all Icelandic
households use geothermal power,

which harnesses heat
from deep within the earth

to generate electricity.

[Ivy] We're heading
to Reykjavik, Iceland's capital,

where nearly half
the country's total population lives.

The city's also home
to a large population of cats,

since dogs weren't
allowed there until the 's.

[Zack] Whoa. Turtles still aren't allowed.

It's technically illegal
to own one in Iceland.

Gotta wonder if that's why
Gray was sent to the slammer?

Not hungry, eh?

You didn't even touch your harðfiskur.

Shouldn't you be out on patrol?

I already have all
the criminals locked up.

[sighs]

I'm telling you, mate, I have no idea
what I was doing in that house.

The belongings stuffed into your pockets
indicate that you were robbing it.

He was biding his time,
just waiting to make his move!

Calloway's either some sort
of "sleeper agent"

that we unintentionally activated,

or he's been b*ating
our lie detector all along.

Either way, we have
a potential thr*at loose in Reykjavik.

And if ACME couldn't contain him,
I doubt the local police there can.

Actually, Chief…

Devineaux, get over
to the precinct house, now.

[Dr. Bellum] And unlike human operatives,
my Robo-Robber is easily repaired.

Oh, how nice, can you please
just tell me my Crown is secure?

[Troll] Check it out, g*ng.

I tapped into Iceland's
CCTV, satellites, you name it,

but I couldn't pinpoint your bogey.

That is, not until…

"Mr. Electricity" popped up
in the local police database.

Next time, Troll, do make it
a point to get to the point.

With Roundabout out of play,

we no longer possess a convenient means
of releasing operatives from jail.

Don't we?

What, are you gonna
jet-pack on over and fly him away?

That will not be necessary.

Need I remind you
that The Cleaners are in the area?

Define "necessary." Pairing new device.

Roby, flex your fingers.

- And now?
- [beeps]

- [beeping]
- [clicks tongue]

Why aren't your fingers moving?

[whirs]

- [beeping]
- [whirs]

Officer! I just witnessed a crime!

Another one today?

I saw a man outside, walking his… turtle!

Turtle.

As you and I both know,
they're illegal in these parts.

Well, technically.

You still have to arrest him, don't you?

It is really more of a fine.

Yeah, okay, yup. Mm-hm.

[sighs] Fine.

[keys clatters]

That's him, Officer!

Sir, can I please have a word?

Why are turtles a crime?
Why? They don't bark or bite!

Wait! Come back here!

I tried to warn you, he's a public menace!

- [static]
- [clicks]

Surveillance cameras down.

Only one occupied cell.

There really isn't much crime here.

[Devineaux] Bonjour.

I am here to see…

Carmen Sandiego?

Devineaux? Really not...

Yes, "not a good time" I know.

But I am not here to arrest you.

[whirs]

[grunts]

[thuds]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunting]

I just have questions for you,
so many questions.

Starting with, why are you here?

Visiting an old friend.

- Graham Calloway?
- [door opens]

You… aren't here because you followed me?

So, the two of you are connected!

But, if Calloway is bad and you are good…

It's complicated.

And truly, Devineaux, not a good time.

No! No!

No! Please, let me out!

Carmen?

How did you know I was here?

All in good time, Gray.
We need to get you out of here.

- [keys clattering]
- It's Graham…

Look out!

Carmen, are you all right?

Do I know those guys? Who were they?

Guys who never leave
before the job is done.

- [shatters]

- Huh?
- [zapping]

What's happening?

- [rumbles]
- [thuds]

Crikey!

No!

[helicopter whirring]

No! Carmen!

Gray!
