Characters Watching Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

The Fishy Doubloon Caper

Everyone settles in for the next episode.

Theme music plays.

The elevator dings. Chase and Julia step into the parking garage.

Chase: No witness to question. No thieving scoundrel in custody, and not one single red thread to pull. I pursued Carmen Sandiego all the way to Paris and back with nothing to show for my efforts. ...Eh, almost nothing.

Julia: I recommend re-examining the penthouse Ms. Sandiego purportedly attempted to rob here in Poitiers.

Chase: Did rob, Ms. Argent! I watched our super thief spirit into the night with a stolen object stuffed in her black sack.

"Technically since it was mine, it wasn't stolen." Carmen points out.

He dumps a bunch of mints into his mouth and starts to chew them.

Julia: That many mints can't be good for an empty stomach.

Chase: Good night, Ms. Argent.

Julia: Before I go, you may want to check your fuel--

Chase: Now.

"RUDE!" Ivy shouts throwing her hands in the air.

She squares her shoulders and walks away. He tries to start the car, but indeed, there is no fuel. He gets out of the car.

Chase: Ugh. It seems you were right. I'm all out of--

When he looks to his side, the person beside him is not Julia but rather one of the mysterious agents that have been following Carmen. She holds up a gun-like device, and a puff of smoke blasts into his face.

Chase: Gas?

"Woah, not cool dudes." Zack says. Everyone turns to look at Agent Zari who has no reaction to the events on screen.

He passes out, the man coming up from behind to catch him. Meanwhile, Julia sighs, stops walking, and turns back to check on him... but finds no one.

Julia: Inspector? Where in the world did you go?

Seagulls cry. We dive into the ocean. Carmen is swimming in a scuba suit.

Player: Hola, Red. How's sunny Ecuador?

"Ecuador this time, how fascinating." Julia says.

Carmen: Oh... wet.

Player: I'm sure you'll get to see more of South America after your swim. Maybe even paddle further down to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

"Player, I'm not ready to go there yet." Carmen says.

Carmen: Not sure I'm ready to visit my birthplace. Not without any real clues to my past. What can you tell me about the shipwreck we're looking for?

Player: The satellite images I intercepted show you're warm. Just keep an eye out for the equator. It's a giant red line.

Carmen: Very funny, Player. The equator's a giant imaginary red line that divides our world into northern and southern hemispheres.

Player: Well, Ecuador sits right on the equator, and it looks like the South American country is known for two big exports: bananas and tuna.

Zack groans.

"Why do we have to keep bringing up fish?" He asks.

Carmen: Huh. I wonder how a banana-fish sandwich would taste. Bet you didn't know the catch of the day is always transported up the Andes Mountains to Quito, the second-highest capital city in the world.
