NEIL ARMSTRONG: That's one small step for man...
-And one giant leap for Carmen Sandiego.
[intercom beeps] -Get the car, please.
-Hunh... ?!
[BIRD SHRIEKS]
-Oh! Shooo... go away... Go! Get out of here! Go!
-Don't be afraid. He's just a pet.
-Hey, wait. Aren't you, uh... somebody?
-We're all "somebody."
-Hunh?
-Brian, is she someone famous?
-Oh, man! That's Carmen Sandiego!
Call the Police!
[over P.A.] We've got every bridge and tunnel
off Manhattan Island covered.
You can't escape, Carmen!
-Before we leave New York, cut across to Times Square.
I arranged a little surprise for everyone
in "The Big Apple."
[gulps]
[moo]
-We've got you surrounded, Carmen Sandiego.
Come out with your hands in the air.
-Hey, look! It's Carmen Sandiego!
[crowd gasps]
-Ha! Nice trick! But the real Carmen's in here!
[crowd chatter]
-If you think you can get away from me this time,
you're dreaming, Carmen.
♪ She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes! ♪
♪ She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes! ♪
♪ She'll be comin' round the mountain ♪
-I don't get it, Chief!
If Carmen paid for the toy, what's the crime?
-Okay, okay. It wasn't technically a theft.
-But Carmen Sandiego's definitely up to
something B-I-G, and that spells huge!
-Known Henchmen have been meeting
in cities from Pakistan to Peru, China to Chile...
and various longitudes and latitudes in between.
Hey! Where ya goin'?!
-There must be something special with
this toy for it to grab Carmen's attention.
-Well, these "Illuma-Pads" are pretty cool toys.
Maybe all those henchmen want to play with hers.
-Zack!
The salesgirl remembers two things from the incident.
Each of the henchmen had similar tatoos.
-The symbols for yin and yang.
The Chinese emblem for opposites that complement.
Like male and female.
-And they had a very unique bird on...
-Bingo! -Hunh?
-We might just have nailed the country
those henchmen were from, Ivy!
-The henchman's bird was a cormorant.
-Hello? Zack? Cormorants live
on coasts all over the world.
-But only along certain rivers will you find these.
Player, Info-Scan trained Cormorants.
CHIEF: Yes, anglers!
No more squishing slimy worms onto hooks!
No more fish getting away with your bait!
In fact, no more bait.
-Some fishermen in China train wild cormorants
to pluck their catch right out of
the Yangtze River for them!
-Zack, if the Henchmen had these
Yin and Yang tattoos and a trained Cormorant...
-The first place I'd look is China.
Player, bring up that map of
known Henchmen activity again, please.
-Henchmen were spotted on the move in Gansu Province...
further south in Guangdong...
-And look! There's activity in Sichuan
near China's longest river, the Yangtze!
-Could be it!
Player, C- us to the Far East!
CHIEF: Ni-hau, buckaroos.
You're flying from New York City, USA
to the People's Republic of China.
-At over - / million square miles,
China is the third largest country,
right behind Russia and Canada.
-Okay, listen up clue busters.
Finding a couple of henchmen in China
isn't going to be easy.
More people live here than in any country in the world.
Over a billion strong.
-So, if the Earth's about , miles around...
and you placed every person in China end to end,
they could probably circle the globe
more than times!
-But don't get me wrong!
When most of Europe was looking for a light switch
to get out of the Dark Ages,
the Chinese were not just lying around!
-They were busy inventing everything
from paper and the compass,
to gunpowder and fireworks.
CHIEF: You'll be landing shortly.
-Well, what do you know?
The Yangtze is almost , miles long,
and we put down right on the mark, little bro'!
-Whatever Carmen's up to
looks like it's kicking into high gear.
Come on!
[hushed conversation in Chinese]
-Ivy! You hear that?
-Uh, Zack, I don't speak Chinese.
-It's something about getting to Xi Chang
before nightfall.
[in Chinese]
-Now they're saying somebody's outside the door...
-Ooooff... . -Ungghhhh!
-Hey! They didn't say anything about a net.
I'm sure of it.
-At least we know they're headed
to someplace called Xi Chang.
[struggling] Great.
Now, if we can just shake free.
-Ooof... Ughh...
-I hope this doesn't hurt...
-Ooof... Ughh...
-You okay?
-Yeah! But not for long!
[coughing] Stay low!
There's more air below the smoke!
-Breathe into the wet rag, Ivy!
[COUGHING]... It cuts out the smoke...
[COUGHING]
We gotta get out of here!
[coughing, struggling]
-Whoah!
[gasps]
[coughing]
-Well, the henchmen lost their Junk,
and we lost the henchmen.
[coughing] But we know where they're going.
If we can find this Xi Chang place.
-But what's Carmen up to?
I mean, she buys a lighted pegboard toy in New York,
then has henchmen on the move,
over , miles away in China.
What's the connection?
-Player, info-scan Xi Chang, Sichuan Province.
CHIEF: Picture, if you will, an ordinary field
in a region called Daliang Shan.
It's a tranquil existence. Tend some hogs.
Drink some tea.
But there's more here than meets the eye.
-There's the Xi Chang launch center,
for space satellites and it's only about
one football field away from working farms!
Talk about half-time show...
-Unless Carmen's taking up farming,
I'd say Xi Chang's launch center sounds like
the best place for us to start, Zack.
Zack... ?
-We're in luck, Ivy!
There's a merchant on his way to Xi Chang.
He'll give us a lift!
-Shouldn't we find security
and let them know we're on the grounds?
-I've got a feeling they already paid security a visit.
Come on.
-Oof.
-Mind if we give you two a hand?
[gasp] -Gotcha!!
-Where'd they go?
-Well, at least we stopped them
from ripping off this rocket.
-Um, Zack... Look.
-Okay, now see, this is bad.
-A cheap ten dollar kid's toy
and now some of the most expensive space hardware
in the world.
-Three rockets, three lights...
-What's Carmen up to?
-Duck!
-Yikes!
-I guess Carmen wants to see
all our daily nutritional requirements are met
while we're away from home.
-Hey, this is a big piece of litmus paper.
It can tell if something is an acid or a base.
-And Carmen gave us an orange!
Zack, oranges have natural acids!
It must be part of a clue.
-The orange's acid will turn this litmus paper
from blue to red. Watch.
[chuckles] Pretty cool, huh?
-Looks like a message.
-Carmen must have written on it
with some kind of base, like Borax,
that neutralizes acid,
keeping the letters blue.
"I'm taking a trip and I'll be blue...
Love, Maria."
-Where's she taking a trip to? And who's Maria?
-Player, info-scan "Maria," please.
-Maria, Maria, she's our gal!
If she can't do it, no one shall!
CHIEF: Meet Maria Theresa, Holy Roman Empress,
Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and Archduchess of Austria
in the 's. What a resume, huh?
Had sixteen children, one of whom was...
... Marie Antoinette, known in Spanish
as Maria Antonia...
-This is getting us nowhere.
-Wait a minute! Ivy, Carmen just stole rockets.
Maybe she's taking a trip into space
and maybe Maria isn't a "who," but a "what."
-I have no idea what you're talking about, Zack.
-Look, years ago, Galileo thought
those dark patches on the moon were water.
So he named them with the Latin word for seas...
"Maria."
-Okay, Einstein, then what's this part mean
about being "blue"?
-Well... A blue moon is when there
are two full moons in one month, right?
-Okay, fine. Player, info-scan lunar activity.
When is the next time there are two full moons
in a month?
-Whoah! Doesn't happen very often.
That's why people say "only once in a blue moon."
A-HA! You're in luck, crime busters.
The next blue moon is in four days!
-Ivy, it takes astronauts three days
to fly to the moon.
If the trip Carmen is taking is gonna reach it
on the blue moon, she'd have to leave by tomorrow.
-But these Long March Rockets
don't carry astronauts.
-Hey, I'm hungry.
-Zack, look!
-So? Lots of oranges come from Florida.
-Forget the snack, Zack! Carmen said,
"I'm taking a trip... "!
What's in Florida that she might want to steal next?
Think outer space, rockets...
-Woah... The space shuttle at Cape Canaveral!
-Player, booster rocket us to the Sunshine State!
CHIEF: Okay, moondreamers, you're C- -ing it
from China to one of the flattest places in America,
The Florida Peninsula.
-It's surrounded on three sides by water
and the highest point in the state
is only feet above sea level!
-And more coastline than any state except Alaska!
-Let's not forget the Everglades...
and the Florida Keys, an arc of Islands
that juts out miles into the Gulf of Mexico!
-Hey! Check it out, Space Cadets!
Cape Canaveral's been America's premiere launch site
since , when our first astronauts, Able and Baker,
weighed in at a mere nine pounds a piece.
-Yes, these brave monkeys went into space
before man ever dared to try.
-The Apollo Eleven astronauts made history when...
... Neil Armstrong became the first human
ever to set foot on the moon!
[gasps] -But no time for parties now,
we're splashing down in Cape Canaveral, Florida,
the launch site of the Space Shuttle!
Today's recyclable space ship.
-Uh, one more thing Florida is known for, Ivy.
-What's that?
-Alligators!!!
-I've got a a feeling the only way out of here
is the way he came in.
-Run!
[struggling grunts]
-I'm gettin' too old for this.
-Oww!
-Oh, man. This is bad.
[struggling]
[struggling] Quick, Zack...
your belt!
-What are you nuts, Ivy?
What made you think you could hold his jaw shut?
[struggling] Zoology class, little bro'.
Alligators have enough power to crush cow bones
like kindling, but not much at all
for opening wide.
-Easy, big fella. Easy.
No one's going to hurt you.
Get ready to run, Zack.
-We gotta talk to the Chief about fixing
that C- glitch.
-Or, I gotta take wrestling lessons.
-Hey, they don't piggyback
the space shuttle away from Cape Canaveral.
This is the launch site.
-All security personnel report to your stations!
-Carmen Sandiego has stolen the Space Shuttle!
-All personnel are busy with this crisis.
I'll be with you shortly.
-Great. Now how are we going to find out
where Carmen's gone?
-Hi, I'm Michelle. Can I help?
-Naw, Thanks. You're just...
-A kid?
-Uh... no. I meant, you're just...
pretty darn impressive in that space suit.
Why are you wearing a space suit?
-Welll, I go to Space Camp here at Cape Canaveral.
We were going to get a chance
to watch the space shuttle launch...
-Until Carmen stole it, huh?
-Yeah.
-Well, maybe you can help us find out
what she's up to, Michelle.
-But why would she take the shuttle away?
Why not just launch from here?
-Depending on the mission,
you always have a different launch window.
-Launch window? What's that?
-Well, see, the moon's a moving target.
It travels around the Earth at
more than miles per hour.
-So, you have to aim at a spot way
in front of the moon, and let it come to you
right at the end of your three day flight?
-Right! And if Carmen had launched from here,
say, ten minutes ago, given average speed...
... she would have missed the moon
by thousands and thousands of miles.
-Then, working backwards,
where on earth would the launch window be...
-... if Carmen wanted to reach the moon
exactly when it's full.
[mumbling] Full moon is in exactly...
uh-huh... and the flight time is...
uh-uh...
-With those parameters,
the ideal place is in the Andes Mountains of Peru.
-But at this specific longitude and latitude,
temperatures sometimes go
below degrees Fahrenheit.
The launch would just
shut itself down automatically.
-Knowing Carmen, she's got that covered.
Player, C- us to these coordinates.
-I wish I knew where we were going.
This llama's not exactly comfortable.
-Well don't sweat it, little bro'.
There's Carmen's launch site.
-What is she thinking of?
-Okay. Coast is clear.
Here's the Illuma-Pad she bought
at that toy store, Ivy.
-But what's she doing with it?
-Hmm...
-Only one way to find out.
-Woah! The rocket payloads are filled
with red and black dye.
-Biodegradable no doubt?
-And this program is set to launch the stolen rockets
to specific locations on the lunar surface!
-When the colored dyes are released,
Carmen's image will appear on the face
of the full moon...
... like a giant paint-by-number!
-And she'll orchestrate the whole thing
from her bird's eye view
aboard the stolen space shuttle!
[span]COMPUTER: Prepare for launch. [/span]
-Zack, you've got to stop the launch.
If she gets away with the space shuttle
and those Long March Rockets,
it could set international space programs back years!
-But it could take days to break her code!
[span]-T-minus three minutes [span] and counting.[/span][/span]
-We don't have days! Come on!
-Carmen!!
-I want them to watch... from a distance.
-Whoahhhhhhhhhh!
-Zack! Follow me nice and easy. hand over hand.
[yells]
-Jump for the cliff!
[struggling, exertion]
-You okay?
-Just tell me when it's over.
-C'mon, Zack. We're running out of time.
[COUNTDOWN] T-Minus seconds...
... ... ...
... ... ...
-Ivy! At seconds before lift-off,
those boosters fire up and the whole launch site
will reach almost , degrees!
-Temperature! That's it!
-Hunh?
-Michelle said the launch system automatically
shuts down if the temperature goes
below forty-one degrees. Come on!
-Where are we going?!
-The temperature monitoring gauge!
-The CO in this fire extinguisher
should lower the temperature enough to...
-We're toast at seconds! Just do it!
[span]-Twelve... Eleven... Ten... [span] nine... [/span][/span]
[span]-Eight... [/span]
[span]-Launch aborted... [/span]
[span]Temperature below [span] safety levels.[/span][/span]
[span]Launch [span] aborted.[/span][/span]
-All right, Ivy! We did it!
[happy yelp] Now, with a little luck,
we can nab Carmen.
-You froze me out this time detectives,
but there's always going to be another full moon...
and another chance.
[gasp]
-Well, if it's any consolation,
Michelle will be glad we saved the space shuttle.
-Yeah, and who knows, maybe she'll become
the first woman on the moon instead of Carmen.

-Naw, Thanks. You're just...
-A kid?
-Uh... no. I meant, you're just...
pretty darn impressive in that space suit.
Why are you wearing a space suit?
-Welll, I go to Space Camp here at Cape Canaveral.
We were going to get a chance
to watch the space shuttle launch...
-Until Carmen stole it, huh?
-Yeah.
-Well, maybe you can help us find out
what she's up to, Michelle.
-But why would she take the shuttle away?
Why not just launch from here?
-Depending on the mission,
you always have a different launch window.
-Launch window? What's that?
-Well, see, the moon's a moving target.
It travels around the Earth at
more than miles per hour.
-So, you have to aim at a spot way
in front of the moon, and let it come to you
right at the end of your three day flight?
-Right! And if Carmen had launched from here,
say, ten minutes ago, given average speed...
... she would have missed the moon
by thousands and thousands of miles.
-Then, working backwards,
where on earth would the launch window be...
-... if Carmen wanted to reach the moon
exactly when it's full.
[mumbling] Full moon is in exactly...
uh-huh... and the flight time is...
uh-uh...
-With those parameters,
the ideal place is in the Andes Mountains of Peru.
-But at this specific longitude and latitude,
temperatures sometimes go
below degrees Fahrenheit.
The launch would just
shut itself down automatically.
-Knowing Carmen, she's got that covered.
Player, C- us to these coordinates.
-I wish I knew where we were going.
This llama's not exactly comfortable.
-Well don't sweat it, little bro'.
There's Carmen's launch site.
-What is she thinking of?
-Okay. Coast is clear.
Here's the Illuma-Pad she bought
at that toy store, Ivy.
-But what's she doing with it?
-Hmm...
-Only one way to find out.
-Woah! The rocket payloads are filled
with red and black dye.
-Biodegradable no doubt?
-And this program is set to launch the stolen rockets
to specific locations on the lunar surface!
-When the colored dyes are released,
Carmen's image will appear on the face
of the full moon...
... like a giant paint-by-number!
-And she'll orchestrate the whole thing
from her bird's eye view
aboard the stolen space shuttle!
[span]COMPUTER: Prepare for launch. [/span]
-Zack, you've got to stop the launch.
If she gets away with the space shuttle
and those Long March Rockets,
it could set international space programs back years!
-But it could take days to break her code!
[span]-T-minus three minutes [span] and counting.[/span][/span]
-We don't have days! Come on!
-Carmen!!
-I want them to watch... from a distance.
-Whoahhhhhhhhhh!
-Zack! Follow me nice and easy. hand over hand.
[yells]
-Jump for the cliff!
[struggling, exertion]
-You okay?
-Just tell me when it's over.
-C'mon, Zack. We're running out of time.
[COUNTDOWN] T-Minus seconds...
... ... ...
... ... ...
-Ivy! At seconds before lift-off,
those boosters fire up and the whole launch site
will reach almost , degrees!
-Temperature! That's it!
-Hunh?
-Michelle said the launch system automatically
shuts down if the temperature goes
below forty-one degrees. Come on!
-Where are we going?!
-The temperature monitoring gauge!
-The CO in this fire extinguisher
should lower the temperature enough to...
-We're toast at seconds! Just do it!
[span]-Twelve... Eleven... Ten... [span] nine... [/span][/span]
[span]-Eight... [/span]
[span]-Launch aborted... [/span]
[span]Temperature below [span] safety levels.[/span][/span]
[span]Launch [span] aborted.[/span][/span]
-All right, Ivy! We did it!
[happy yelp] Now, with a little luck,
we can nab Carmen.
-You froze me out this time detectives,
but there's always going to be another full moon...
and another chance.
[gasp]
-Well, if it's any consolation,
Michelle will be glad we saved the space shuttle.
-Yeah, and who knows, maybe she'll become
the first woman on the moon instead of Carmen.
