- [Player] Red, are you in position? - What?
We have a VILE operative on the move. Are you in position?
Prague's Old Town Square, by the clock tower.
Le Chevre.
I'm on him.
- [beeping] - [keyboard clicking]
Remember, target the buyer, not Goat Boy.
[Player] And hit him after the handoff.
Don't want VILE knowing you're...
Onto them before we can find out what they're peddling?
Whose plan was this again?
Yours. Sorry.
Just checking the boxes.
Get it? Check?
- 'Cause you're in... - The Czech Republic.
- Yes, Player, I get it. - Red Drone is on the lookout.
[Player] Potential buyer spotted, headed for Goat Boy.
Beefy guy in bow tie, northeast side.
And we have a handoff.
Package is in play.
[gasping]
[Player] Red, curbside!
[gasps]
- [Player] Red! - [man and Carmen grunt]
[gasping]
I am so sorry. Uh, let me help.
[Player] What did we get?
[Carmen] A rock. Though, we're lucky we got anything.
- What do you mean? - I got sloppy.
[sighs] I'm off my game.
You have been distracted lately.
You probably just jumped back into action a little too soon.
It's only been a week since Shadowsan vanished into the night.
Taking any hope I had of learning more about my past along with him.
[Brunt] Like I told you before...
when I came to, the Federales were closing in,
and there was no sign of him or Black Sheep.
We know Shadowsan hasn't been detained.
No arrests anywhere near Poitiers, France, match his description.
Though, if this ACME is for real, Cleo,
who knows where they would jail their prisoners.
If Shadowsan is keeping to the shadows, wouldn't he have phoned home by now?
And you are certain, Coach Brunt, that you did not, uh...
Wait, what?
No. Why would you even...?
There was certainly no love lost between the two of you.
There you are, reluctant travel partners.
You tell him he's a bore, he insults your tracksuit,
a quibble leads to an altercation, then...
You have been known to lose your temper.
True, ol' Stoneface would never be my first choice of a cornhole partner,
but he's still family, and you don't betray family.
[comms chime]
Probably our dear ninja now.
Salutations, Faculty!
I am en route to shut down the mining operation as planned.
All the alexandrite has been extracted and is ready to be shipped.
Then Prague came through.
It seems we have buyers for our gemstones.
This operation will go a long way towards repairing any losses
inflicted by Carmen Sandiego and ACME.
[steady beeping]
[Julia] Agent Devineaux, it's me.
Julia. Agent Argent.
How are you feeling today?
I brought your favorite mints.
There she is, La Femme Rouge!
Please wake up, Agent Devineaux.
We need you.
And we need you to tell us that she did not do this to you.
- [keyboard clicking] - [Player] It's called "alexandrite."
[Carmen] Sounds like something you take for foot pain.
Definitely a gemstone.
Not as well known as diamonds, but way more rare.
And it can fetch just as much per carat.
That's big money.
[Carmen] Enough of these gems could provide a major cash infusion
to VILE's operations.
[Player] Well, according to the data on the hard drive Shadowsan left for you,
VILE has a presence in a region known for its alexandrite.
[Carmen] Could be a mining operation. Where?
It doesn't specify details or exact coordinates,
but it's somewhere in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
South America.
Small world. It's close to home.
You're up for this, right, Red?
We need you at the top of your game.
- You know, in case... - In case what?
Either the hard drive's the best present ever
from a supposed former VILE mastermind,
or it's loaded with an elaborate trail of breadcrumbs.
What if Shadowsan's trying to lure you into some sort of trap?
Everything he said about my time on VILE Island made perfect sense.
Sure, but what about Argentina, the part you were too young to remember?
Did he really just happen to find you?
He's a thief.
For all you know, he stole you for a ransom.
You could be the daughter of billionaire diplomats.
Well, hanging out here in Prague won't change that.
If it's a trap,
I'll need to take extra care that no one gets hurt this time.
[steady beeping]
[groans] No. No, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
La Femme Rouge!
- [Chief] Guess again. - Huh?
Welcome back, Agent Devineaux.
Chief!
[groans] My head!
It feels like a pack of wild boars stampeded through it... [groans]
shoving their snouts into the folds of my brain, searching for truffles.
[groans]
You recognized me. That's a good sign.
What else do you remember?
Mm, brushing my teeth, then...
nothing.
Until...
She was there!
Carmen Sandiego. I saw her, too.
But she had help. Two others.
Tell me everything.
Ooh-ooh! Palm trees and sandy beaches, here we come!
There's more to Rio than beaches, Ivy,
especially since Carnival is just a few days away.
Oh, spinning rides and funnel cakes? Score!
Not a carnival, Zack. "Carnivaal."
People travel from all over the world to check it out.
[Carmen] The citywide festival has its roots
in both Portuguese and African traditions,
and features colorful masks and costumes.
It's the one time of year pretending to be someone
or something else is socially accepted.
[Player] I hope you packed your dancing shoes, Red.
Thousands of samba dancers will be strutting their stuff
next to insanely elaborate parade floats.
[Carmen] If it's a beach you're after,
Rio has one of the world's most famous... Copacabana.
Sound like enough to make you a Brazil nut?
[Player] When you're done having fun in the sun, check out Rio's favelas.
[Carmen] Ah, the favelas,
entire communities built into the steep hillsides of Rio.
But they say you won't find a better view of any city
than from the top of Corcovado Mountain,
beneath the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer.
[Player] I hope you brushed up on your Portuguese, Red.
It's the primary language spoken in Brazil.
Não, obrigada.
[Zack] Look out!
It's Tigress!
Ow!
Dude, a VILE operative wouldn't wear a costume of herself!
Talk about worst disguise ever.
Got the rock?
Check.
You two take the low ground, I'll take the high.
Close, but more weathered, like the backside of a reptile.
Yes, that is him!
Those are them!
[electricity whines]
We have our perps?
I present to you Carmen Sandiego's partners in crime.
Find my pants!
I am ready to track them down and make them pay for what they did to me.
[Chief] Actually, hold the pants.
I'm finally getting my ACME suit?
No. I'm putting you on leave, effectively immediately.
But, Chief, I just handed you two faces possibly belonging to VILE.
You're also a loose canon, Devineaux, a liability.
ACME needs agents who think with their brains, not with their fists.
- For how long? - Indefinitely.
Look, you've been through a lot.
Cool your heels back at Interpol and get your strength back.
And Agent Argent?
She'll be staying on with ACME.
Any attempt to contact her could jeopardize her safety,
so forget you know her.
And I was never here.
[man] Ah, yes. Alexandrite.
Word on the street is that a brand-new supply
has recently been unearthed.
Where?
My memory, it's not so good.
Oh, bummer.
Ow!
He's looking for a bribe, you doofus.
Successful business owner, Ivy.
I'm sure he'll meet the right girl someday.
"Bribe," not "bride."
He wants to be paid for information.
Oh!
This specimen is muito bonita.
Maybe my watch will jog your memory.
No one knows where the new supply has been unearthed
and no one wants to know.
Some very sinister types control it.
What type of sinister types?
My memory, it's not so good.
Maybe my other watch will jog your memory?
One of them is French, dresses like a goat.
Where can we find him?
My memory, it's not so... Hey!
My sister's watch?
Tell us where, keep the gem.
He'll land on his feet or the hood of his car.
My intuition tells me Carmen Sandiego wasn't responsible for his abduction.
There must be some other reason she was present.
Look, Agent Argent, you have a brilliant, deductive mind,
one of the finest I've seen.
Learn to trust it and not your gut.
[knocking]
Oh, your suit arrived.
And regulation eyewear.
Your prescription, naturally. Your ACME official now.
- Agent Zari will be your new partner. - Agent Argent.
I'm sending you both to Rio de Janeiro.
Our CrimeNet analysts believe Carmen Sandiego is there now.
Find out why and catch her if you can.
[Player] How's the view from up there, Red?
Trippy.
[Player] With good reason.
Your scanner's calibrated
to recognize any gem mined from the same source as your sample.
Molecular structure, soil traces, anything.
[Ivy panting] Doña Marta is wicked huge, "donya" know?
This favela just keeps going and going.
- [groans] How are we ever gonna find him? - [boy] Give it back!
- It's our futebol! - No.
Since I nearly tripped over your football, it is now my football.
First, that's a soccer ball.
And second, no way I'm gonna stand by
and let him steal from a little kid. [gasps]
First, they call them "footballs" here. Get over it.
And second, you'll blow the mission. We'll buy them a new one later.
VILE operatives don't wear costumes of themselves, huh, sis?
[Ivy] Ground crew to Carmen, we spotted Le Chevre
in the lamest disguise ever.
[Zack] He's dressed as a goat.
Keep a safe distance. I'm on my way.
- [box thuds] - [Le Chevre gasps]
You!
[Ivy huffs] Carm, we lost our goat.
[Carmen] I see him. Just be on your guard.
Where there's a goat, the Mole isn't usually far behind.
Should be easy enough to see coming.
[Zack laughs] Yeah, he's probably wearing a mole mask.
[Zack laughs] She's wicked awesome!
[gasps] Uh-oh.
[Le Chevre] Carmen? Impossible!
How did you know I was here?
Next time, try disguising yourself as a giraffe.
This is a costume, not a disguise!
[both grunt]
- Nossa! - [gasps]
Sorry.
[grunts]
[growls]
- [Player] Red, are you all right? - No, Player.
I'm the opposite of all right. I fumbled all over again.
I had Le Chevre in reach, and I choked.
- Choked? - My head's not in the game.
When I'm not seeing imaginary Shadowsans,
I'm seeing families with me in them everywhere I look.
Com licen ç a, are you all right?
Yes, thank you.
I'm just having a bad day.
Maybe we can help.
We're just about to eat. Why don't you come join us?
[muffled shouting]
Mmm! The feijoada is delicious!
Brazil's national dish, my grandmother's recipe.
[gasps] Ay! [chuckles]
Isabel, no futebol in the house.
Aw!
Can I go throw water balloons at the samba dancers?
No, it is rude.
She's spunky.
Ay, she is a terror.
And speaking of terror,
are you certain you do not wish for us to call the polícia?
I'm fine. He didn't steal anything, at least not from me.
That is a relief to hear.
Our community may not be wealthy, but it is safe.
We all look out for each other and look for ways to improve our quality of life.
So, why were you chasing him?
Long story.
But you're sure you've never seen him before?
We are certain.
Though, he may be a tenant of the corner house.
The one I thought I lost him in?
They are new to our street. A group of friends, we think.
Though, we wouldn't know.
They keep to themselves and we never hear a peep.
It's a good look for you, but I need to borrow that back.
[laughs] Hey!
Thank you for your hospitality.
It was just what I needed.
But we have bolo de rolos for dessert.
I need to catch up with a group of friends.
Player, my little time-out did me some good.
I can't change the past, but I can affect the present...
by helping people like this family.
Now, that sounds like the Red I know.
[gears rattling]
Heading below ground.
Don't be surprised if you lose me.
[Player] Shouldn't you wait for...
backup?
[Le Chevre] Can we wrap things up?
Carmen Sandiego is onto us.
[Tigress scoffs] Disguise yourself as a goat,
what did you expect?
It is a costume, not a disguise!
Ugh!
[Tigress] Oh, come to Tigress.
High grade.
Who needs fun in the sun?
It shines plenty bright down here.
The Cat, the Goat.
The Mole can't be far behi...
[El Topo] Who likes delicious bolinhos?
I brought some for...
everyone.
Look what I dug up.
Did I not tell you?
[growls] Get her!
Hiyah!
[grunts]
[shouting]
[guard shouts]
[guard grunts]
[gasps]
[grunting]
[Carmen straining]
Good catch, mon ami.
Look who decided to drop in.
I don't plan on staying.
Be a shame to come all the way to Rio and miss Carnival.
[Tigress laughs] Aw...
she actually thinks she's getting out of this one.
How fedorable!
I will inform the Faculty that we have finally captured Carmen Sandiego.
[Shadowsan] That will not be necessary.
We are already aware...
and we thank you.
