Episode Synopsis:
Carmen attempts to get around Zack's security system by stealing items of famous thinkers.
Carmen: A famous English poet, John Dunne, once said, "No man is an island," but I say, "This woman should definitely have one."
Ivy: Eat your heart out, Zack. I'm busting Carmen on my own.
Carmen: Well, well. A welcoming committee.
Ivy: OH!!
Zack: Ivy? Oh boy...
Ivy: Nice going, Zack! Your lame-brained mainframe trap made me miss Carmen!
Zack: Hey, I would've nailed her!
Ivy: I would've if you hadn't gotten in the way!
Chief: Hey, hold! Time for a break! Call waiting, come on now!
*various screams*
Officer: {Look over there! Look over there! Carmen's stolen Mont San Michel!}
Carmen: Au revoir. It was a nice try, detectives, but face it, both you together are no match for the greatest thief of all time.
Player: With Zack's new security program, your days are numbered, Carmen.
Carmen: A computer only knows what it's been programmed to know, Player. A mind can think up infinite possibilities. Care to bet on who the winner will be this crime?
Reporter 1: Your new computerized security system has been installed to protect priceless objects at the Lourve musuem in France, the Forbidden City in China, and other worldwide historical landmarks.
Reporter 2: But how can you ensure there'll be no more mistakes like last night?
Zack: I personally guarantee the Zack Attack 20,000 will capture Carmen Sandiego red-handed. As long as my sister, Ivy, doesn't get in the way again.
Ivy: I'll see you in Acme, little bro. I hope your head still fits the C-5 corridor!
Zack: Hey, big sisters. Can't live with them, can't reprogram them.
Reporter 3: What were your inspirations for such an original security system?
Zack: Well, when I was ten, my parents took me on a trip around the world. I'm telling you, it was like I opened a window into my imagination, and boom! Uploaded an infinite number of possibilities. I've devised a system that Carmen Sandiego will never crack.
Chief: Come on, team! Where's that ol Detective Agency rah-rah-rah-we'll-catch-Carmen-sis-boom-bah? She's stolen Mont San Michel! Gone! Vanished from the Bay of Mont San Michel where it sat on the English Channel only a mile off the coast of Normandy, France! Let's go find it!
Ivy: Tell it to the compu-kid, Chief! I'm ready to hit the C-5 now!
Zack: Chill, sis! With my porta-Zack 20,000, I can track Carmen from anywhere!
Ivy: Alright, if your computer's so smart, then where would it hide an island?
Zack: Since Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, it's the perfect place to start looking!
Ivy: Hold it. Zack, Indonesia has over 13,000 islands stretching 3500 miles--almost the width of the United States of America! What, are you going to count every island to see if there's an extra?
Ivy: You hack, Zack, I'll attack!
Zack: Ivy, wait!
Ivy: Hurry, Zack!
Zack: Ivy, the Zack Attack 20,000 can track this helicopter--
Ivy: Forget the computer! We'll see who catches Carmen first, little bro!
Zack: Fine! Then it's you against my Zack Attack 20,000, Ivy! And may the best detective win!
Ivy: Hate to flip and skip, Professor, but this is one class I'm cutting!
Ivy: Uh, Player, look, if you really want to capture Carmen, get me some help. Hook me up with a detective who speaks Italian--other than Zack.
Chief: Oh, oh, oh! Great, great, great! Thank goodness you're back! Every place you've installed your Zack Attack 20,000 security system has been calling in for a final systems' check before they go online tonight! I mean, after Carmen stole Mont San Michel--oh...um, 'scuse me...where's Ivy?
Zack: Listen, Chief, I've got a great future working solo.
Chief: Hey, there is no "I" in "team," Zack. You and Ivy are supposed to work together! Now, where is she?
Chief: Hello! The brain surgeon called, your parts are in! Pay attention! Ivy, where is Ivy?
Zack: I told you, I'm going to prove to my sister that techno-tracking beats her old-fashioned leg work any day, end of story.
Marco: Ivy?
Ivy: Marco!
Marco: Italians crush millions of pounds of grapes each year to make our world-famous wines, but I've never seen one with a backside before.
Ivy: It's a long story.
Marco: And it's been too long since that time we chased Carmen on the Amazon River together. Hop on, we'll go catch up on old times.
Ivy: Perfect choice, Player. Thanks. I need a little translation, Marco, and don't ever tell Zack I asked!
Chief: Famous Indian philsopher and all-round wise man, Buddha, sat beneath a certain tree over 2,000 years ago, meditating in search of true wisdom.
Zack: The Bodhi tree! Hey, I studied Buddha's famous teachings under--whoa, Chief. I'm getting a bad feeling about this case.
Chief: Zack, wait! ZACK! You can't skateboard to India!
Ivy: A little translation from a friend and I've found it without you, Zack. But it looks like...I'm too late! There's no Bodhi tree! Huh? Let go!
Henchman: But where's that wiseguy that usually works with her? He could still be on Carmen's trail!
Zack: Ah, I knew it!
Chief: Knew what? What, what, what, what, what?
Zack: Chief, there are pages missing from my photo album of the summer I spent studying abroad! If my hunch is right, Carmen stole it!
Chief: Uh, no offense now, Zack, you're a true stud muffin, but why would Carmen want pictures of you, instead of, say, me?
Zack: They were photos from my trips to the da Vinci musuem, the Bodhi tree in India, to--
Chief: Yes! Ivy's checking in!
Ivy: Chief! Carmen has stolen the Bodhi tree and--
Chief: Augh!
Zack: Carmen's got Ivy, Chief!
Carmen: But it was you I wanted, Zack. There are so many great thinkers we both admire. Come find me. We'll speak of things to come.
Zack: Ivy! IVY!
Zack: Got to find Ivy! Maybe my Zack Attack 20,000 can--
Chief: Forget the computer, Zack! Think! Where else did you go that summer?
Zack: Uh, okay, okay. I studied Jules Verne's original manuscripts at his musuem in France.
Chief: Ah, didn't Carmen say, "Come, let's speak of things to come"?
Chief: Whatever Carmen's up to, it has something to do with your all-time favorite main brain, Zack.
Zack: But what could she be after? Wait a minute! Player, scan newstape files of my interview outside Mont San Michel.
Zack: (recap) "I've used ideas from all the great inventors and thinkers I've studied. I won't bore you with names, but I've devised a system Carmen Sandiego will never crack!"
Zack: Oh no...what've I done?
Chief: You know, why is it just when I think I'm about to hear the recess bell life throws me one of those old pop quizzes?
Zack: Ivy!
Ivy: Zack! There's some kind of electromagnetic locking system holding me in!
Zack: Not a problem for the Zack Attack 20,000. I guess you know have to admit the superiority of my Zack Attack 20,000 crime system.
Ivy: Except that Carmen's here, she's going to hack into your system tonight and steal anything she wants around the world!
Zack: Okay, a minor glitch.
Ivy: Come on! Carmen would never expect us to climb a straight wall of solid granite.
Zack: Right. She's got to figure nobody's that dumb.
Sara Bellum: Ah, right on schedule.
Carmen: Monitor his every reaction, Professor. Then input it into the final program. I'll know more about how he designed his Zack Attack 20,000 than he knows.
Ivy: You can't always rely on machines, Zack. Everything that's protected by your system is in danger!
Zack: So are we!
Ivy: I owe you one, Zack.
Zack: Hey hey, what are brothers for?
Ivy: We've got to find Carmen's computer banks!
Sara Bellum: Nice try, detectives, but I'm afraid you're just a little late.
Zack: If you hadn't made me jump, I can get us out with my computer!
Ivy: Never mind the computer, Zack! With your brains and my speed, we can do it--
Zack: --together!
Carmen: I've got to hand it to you for using Sara Bellum's robot against her. Turnabout is fairplay, kids.
Ivy: Sometimes it's not what you already know that counts.
Zack: But what you can think of right on the spot.
Carmen: Sometimes.
Zack: Oh no. We lost her again. Well, at least we shut her down.
Ivy: Yup. And together. We really do make a great team, Zack. Even if you did let her get away.
Zack: Me?!
Ivy: Mm-hmm. You.
Zack: No, it was you!
Ivy: No way, mister!
Player: I guess Zack and Ivy taught you a lesson, eh Carmen?
Carmen: A wise man once said, "I am defeated and know it only when I meet a human being from whom I am unable to learn...anything." Until next crime, Player.
