♪ Where in the world Is Carmen Sandiego? ♪
[Shadowsan] Trust me when I say that you will each be greatly rewarded
for your part in capturing Carmen Sandiego.
[chuckles] Cha-ching ba-ling!
[grunting]
But, Shadowsan, the other Instructors told us you have been missing.
Keeping to the shadows was a necessary strategy
until earlier today when I could finally inform my colleagues at the island
that I once again had Carmen Sandiego in my sights.
Not knowing who might have leaked our whereabouts
at Countess Cleo's chateau in France, I opted to keep my movements secret,
for we would have captured our traitor that night
had we not been suddenly surrounded by police.
Having no other recourse,
I chose to take extreme measures to keep up appearances
in order to earn Carmen's trust.
I then left quite an elaborate trail of breadcrumbs
to lure her back into our clutches
all over again.
But Black Sheep despised you.
How could you possibly win her trust so quickly?
By knowing where she is most vulnerable,
by concocting falsehoods about her past,
by telling her exactly what it was she wanted to hear.
I'll make you eat those falsehoods.
Is it my fault that you were foolish enough to believe
that it was Coach Brunt who found you as a baby?
What?
And in Moscow, of all places!
Coach Brunt has never even set foot in Russia.
[laughing]
[all laughing]
You... won't get away with this!
I am afraid that I already did.
Ooh, snap!
Good one, boss-a nova.
I shall personally escort our prisoner back to VILE Island,
where I will ensure the appropriate punishment.
Before I do, the gemstones?
Tonight, in the belly of the beast... Ooh!
If Shadowsan checked in with the others, he no doubt already knows the plan... Oh!
Enough of your insolence!
Tie him up.
I will return for him shortly.
Yes, Instructor Shadowsan.
You heard him!
My efforts to remain invisible have been ruined.
Of all the VILE operations to target, did you have to choose this one?
What? You supplied the hard drive loaded with intel.
Maybe a note saying,
"Hey, stay away from South America" would have been helpful.
[grunts] And do you mind?
[Shadowsan growls]
Tigress, report.
The gems are packed and ready to deliver.
And you're about to receive a special delivery of a whole other kind.
Do tell.
Carmen Sandiego.
We nabbed her, and Shadowsan's providing the return trip.
Shadowsan?
Mm-hmm.
You should have seen Carmen's face.
She looked like she was about to ugly-cry.
You saw Shadowsan?
Yep, wearing some freaky-beaky bird mask.
He showed up right after he spoke with you guys.
Spoke with us?
About how he was under deep cover,
and why he had to help Carmen escape, and...
Did Shadowsan not call you today?
[roaring]
Untie me!
After them!
And, hey, you're the one who taught Stealth 101 at VILE Academy.
If you want to stay invisible, keep your mask on.
Sneaking you past three dozen operatives would have proven impossible.
Showing my face was the only strategic option.
[distant thudding and shouting]
Cat's out of the bag.
[Player] Red, you're back online!
What did I miss?
Fill you in later, but let's just say...
I bumped into an acquaintance.
Ninja reappearing act!
Go!
[growls]
Mi amigo, they have taken the high ground.
[Cleo] The mind reels at the possible layers of deception.
But it would appear that the master of stealth
has been playing us all for fools for quite some time now.
Since his recent field trip to Poitiers?
Or since the day he brought that baby to our island?
Nurturing our future nemesis under our noses for nearly 20 years
while continuing to operate as our equal?
That would be quite the long game, Dr. Bellum.
And what would he possibly have against us,
after welcoming him into our fold the way we did?
The fact remains,
if Shadowsan is allied with Carmen Sandiego
and she is, in turn, allied with this ACME...
Then VILE may no longer be the world's best kept evil secret.
VILE is attempting to move
a half billion dollars' worth of uncut gemstones out of Rio tonight.
That's probably more than enough to fund every future plan
indicated on that hard drive you gave me.
So, shouldn't we be trying to sneak back into the mine right now?
Could you not see their operation has been thoroughly mined?
The gemstones have already been moved to a second location.
Right, "belly of the beast," they said. So, you're taking me to that location?
If I knew where it was, I would.
I was tracking the operative Le Chevre, silently,
when these children became an unnecessary and rather loud complication.
[muffled shouting]
[pants] Carm, we found Goat Boy, but his buddy jumped us!
[pants] His disguise wasn't as obvious, a mole wearing a bird beak.
[sighs] We never saw him coming.
So, uh, who's your pal?
Um, crew, meet Shadowsan.
Oh, man, the ninja?
The mean teacher who cheated Carmen out of a passing grade
and tried to stop her from escaping the island.
I might have mentioned you on occasion.
But what's past is past.
Shadowsan's on our side now.
Oh, man, I'm gonna get to learn all the wicked ninja moves!
Hiyah! [gasps]
I can see that my training has already begun, Sensei.
[growls]
- [phone beeps] - [Zari] Security camera footage.
Why would our perpetrator so openly flaunt her position?
Well, if Carmen has been here in Rio de Janeiro for three days
and a major theft hasn't yet been committed,
perhaps she was simply taking the quickest route
from point A to point B.
Don't you mean point V?
She may have been rushing off to meet her friends from VILE.
We shouldn't assume that Ms. Sandiego is actually in league with the enemy.
By all accounts, Agent Devineaux was not in his right mind
during his last encounter with her,
which means we shouldn't fully trust
whatever it is he told Chief that he thinks he saw.
[man] Welcome back to Interpol, Monsieur Devineaux.
We are delighted to see you have fully recovered from your fall.
Fall?
The reason for your medical leave... "onto the hood of your car."
Never mind that.
I am anxious to dive back in.
Ah, bon!
We have quite a backlog of case files that need to be verified,
recorded and logged.
[thumping continues]
P-Paperwork?
[stammers] But I am an inspector, a field agent.
Mm, no.
It says so here right here in your transfer papers: "file clerk."
Doing our part for a safer world.
[groans]
- [festive music playing] - [fireworks whistling, popping]
So here's the half-billion-dollar question:
why would VILE wait until tonight to move the gemstones
right in the middle of Carnival?
More children?
Please, tell me this is another unruly prank.
No joke. Player's my secret weapon.
You'd think it would be harder to get a ton of gems
past all the party people down there.
Unless they use a parade float to move them.
The "belly of the beast"?
We both know that hiding in plain view is VILE's MO.
One thing isn't clicking.
The buyers are in Prague.
VILE can't actually drive a parade float all the way to Eastern Europe,
can they?
I doubt floats actually float on water.
[gasps] Duck boats do! Quack, quack!
Are they making up words?
What are they talking about?
VILE mined the gems way under there.
If they need to get their booty across town and into the water,
they'd need a float that can drive on land and on sea.
[Player] You guys may be onto something.
These so-called "duck boats" were built during World War II,
when they were used to transport cargo and troops.
The Axis powers... Germany, Italy and Japan...
seized a lot of European cities by force,
so America and England needed a way to take back occupied Europe.
[Zack] And these duck boats were the perfect way to do it.
[Ivy] They had six-wheel drive and could float.
[Player] The Allied troops used them to storm Europe from the water.
[machine gunfire]
After the war, the army had a surplus of these floating tanks,
so they sold them around the world.
Now they're used in city tours to haul visitors over land and water.
Boston Harbor's full of them!
If it quacks like a duck and floats like a duck...
- [crowd cheering] - [festive music playing]
[Carmen] We have a stray...
- and it's a beast. - [camera shutter clicks]
[Player] Okay, so VILE's gonna float or fly that thing
all the way to Eastern Europe?
[Carmen] They must have a rendezvous in the works
somewhere out there.
Did you send Zack and Ivy scavenging?
[Player] Parade crew has their marching orders.
Then, Shadowsan, it's time for you and me to engage in a little Stealth one-oh...
one.
[sand crunching]
[woman screams]
And what if Shadowsan should return for us?
I don't want a karate chop.
He's gone from the dark side to the red side.
Which means we have permission to teach "Teach" a lesson.
[gulps]
If you have any hesitation, mon ami,
just remember all those painful origami lessons.
[fabric rustling]
[grunts]
Again with blowing my cover?
I was invisible to them.
[growls]
Again with running off without a note?
I saw an opening. I thought I could save you the trouble.
No more saving me anything, please?
- We really need to talk. - [Le Chevre shouts]
[Tigress growls]
[both] Later!
[grunts] Whoa-aaa!
Oof!
Ha ha!
[both shout]
[El Topo and Le Chevre grunting]
[shouts]
Teacher's pet!
- [Tigress shouts] - [grunting]
[both grunting]
[growling]
[shrieks]
Let me guess, friends of yours?
Stick around and find out!
[grunts] Yah!
[grunts]
[stones tumbling]
[Tigress growling, grunting]
[grunting]
[Carmen] I can help with that.
- Ha! - [Tigress grunts] Ah!
[gasping, coughing]
Tsk, aw... kitty cats and water don't mix.
[both shout]
[water splashes]
What is it with you, me and nighttime boat rides?
This is far from over.
We must find a way to transport
a half billion dollars' worth of uncut gemstones without detection.
- Player? - Arrangements have been made, Red.
You have clearance to rendezvous with harbor crew.
[Carmen] Then we head for the harbor.
- [Tigress] Hey! Here! - [Le Chevre] Oh!
Help!
[Zack] Carm!
Over here!
[gears whir]
[Zack] Last year's parade stock.
They got whole warehouses full of this stuff here!
Bait and switch.
Yes, Professor, we can now definitely confirm
that Carmen and Shadowsan are working together.
[sighs]
Most unfortunate.
[Brunt roaring]
Now, would you care to explain to us how you can so quickly lose sight
of a giant dragon?
- [Ivy singing] - ♪ Samba, samba, samba, quack, quack ♪
♪ Samba, samba, samba, quack, quack Samba, samba, samba, quack, quack ♪
- I've got two left feet, hey! - Oh, yeah, check me out! [laughs]
And what do you suggest that we do with a duck boat full of uncut gemstones?
What Team Carmen usually does:
give back to the community.
I found it by the door.
Ooh, what is it?
Isabel, no! We don't know where it came from.
It's a rock.
A bank account has been opened for a community fund.
[gasps]
That is a lot of money.
Who is this from?
A charitable foundation: Black Sheep Incorporated.
[seagulls screeching]
So, here we are.
I suppose you are wondering what is next, as am I.
It's a small world for thieves like us.
Just a matter of time before we cross paths again,
trip each other up, blow our cover.
Next thing, the bad guys are making a getaway
and we're at each other's throats all over again.
So, you are suggesting that we coordinate efforts?
Your knowledge of VILE runs way deeper than my own.
I'd welcome your strategy.
- He did it! - She did it!
[growls]
- I thought... - My crew, my rules.
No more disappearing acts.
We learn to communicate.
I was on the island living a lie,
while you, a child, achieved the unthinkable
by forging your own path.
You paved the way for me to follow in your footsteps.
Without any question,
it is I who am the student and you the master.
Communication also means no secrets.
[sighs]
I was a young operative for VILE, sent to Argentina on a mission.
Bringing back an abandoned baby was not that mission.
I wish I had more to tell you, but I do not.
- You do see them? - Of course.
Cafezinhos are on me.
Are you certain it's her?
- Yes, absolutely. - Then we take her.
[horn honks]
[panting]
[gasps]
[Zari huffs]
[phone beeps]
[electronic chirping]
Still think she isn't working with VILE?
That face belongs to one of the two operatives
your former partner ID'd.
And if you ask me, he seemed pretty darn chummy with Carmen Sandiego.
[distant phone ringing]
[sighs]
[clicks]
Hello? Hello, hello?
Uh... thought it was my other pen. Heh.
