Okay, for our next clue then, Jessica, you may find this one particularly well. We have our next clue coming in from a person who taught M.C. Hammer everything he knows. Take it away, Nana Rap!
NRNana Rap
(laughs) You're such a nice young man. I'd be happy to do some chill slammin' and jammin' for ya. Hit it! (rock music plays)
You got the Zoo and the Navy,
But that ain't the scene.
For astronomy heads,
It's the scope that's a dream.
When it comes to star gazin',
Almost nothing is clearer
Than Mt. Palomar's telescope's
200-inch mirror.
So, get yourself to this country
In the Golden State.
That's where Robocrook's chillin'.
There's no time to waste!
You got the Nana! Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na Nana. (laughs)
You got the Nana!
Nana Rap, ladies and gentlemen!
Robo, those ACME agents have found you. Head for an Asian country that was part of French Indochina.
Please specify. This description fits more than one nation.
Very good, Solderhead. Just testing your memory banks. Go to the city of Vientiane. You'll get there in time for Bun Bang Fai. That's the rocket festival.
Destination acknowledged, but what is the purpose of this festival?
It's a wild celebration to kick off the rainy season, so don't forget your rust proofing. Now, get going.
(during the briefing session before the Jailtime Challenge)
Ah. Coins and fountains. You know, that reminds me of a story. Once, there was a little girl whose only wish was to grow up and be a law enforcement official. Now, if she wasn't reading detective books, she was watching detective movies. One day, the girl came across a fountain near City Hall. She closed her eyes, she took out a shiny quarter from her pocket, and she made her wish, and tossed the coin high into the air! Missed the water completely. (audience laughs) Today, she's a carpenter somewhere in Florida. Alright, gumshoes. Robocrook and the Radioscope are in Rome, Italy. Go after 'em!
(Rockapella parodies The Temptations "My Girl")
There's a salmon ladder... Oh, yeah...
On the Bonneville Dam.
Oh-oh.
Look for Patty there. Hmm-hmm.
Cause that's where she am.
Whoa-whoa
Well...
AAll
Maybe at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival
In the Beaver State where she's arrestable.
Oh, Patty's one bad girl.
Ooh-be-do. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Rockapella, everybody! Let's hear it! Come on!
Patty, those ACME agents have found you. Head for Hobart. It's the second oldest European settlement in Australia.
Gee, Carmen, isn't that where they sent British convicts?
(laughs) Only the worst ones, Patty, but that was long ago. Now, it's the capital of one of Australia's best nature regions.
A nature region, huh? Sounds like a good place to hide the stone.
Of course it is, Patty. That's why I do the thinking. Go to Freycinet National Park. A henchman will be there to guide you.
Now, guys, it's time for us to turn to the Paula Abdul of the geriatrics set. Please welcome Nana Rap!
(applause)
NRNana Rap
(laughs) You're such a nice young man. I'd be happy to do some chill slammin' and jammin' for ya. Hit it! (rock music plays)
Just north of Kalimantan.
Is where 2 states lie.
Is where the rest of the nation.
It borders the tides.
You got rubber production.
Those plantations are sight,
But when it's time to relax,
People love flying kites.
The curtock, a drum makes it sound like its name.
And top-spinning contests are a popular game.
Now, go capture Patty, 'cause I've told you enough.
And show Carmen Sandiego your crime-bustin' stuff!
You got the Nana! Na-ah-ah Nana! Get down with the Nana! Na-ah-ah--
Let's hear it! Nana Rap! Come on!
Gumshoes, Carmen Sandiego's gang of goons have glommed again. This time, it happened in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. The Supreme Court is the highest level of the judicial branch of government for the United States. It has final say in matters of constitutional law. The court includes a Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. They're appointed by the president, confirmed by the Senate, and served until they decide to retire. Now since they don't run for office, they can make decisions without worrying about what voters might think. But yesterday, in an attempt to impress her social studies teacher, Patty Larceny swiped the court, Justices and all. This brazen bib for brownie points must not go unpunished. Your mission: put Patty in the pin, save the Supremes, and then catch Carmen Sandiego.
It's now time for our second clue. So, listen very closely. This one comes in now-- We turn to a gal who is presently choreographing Madonna's next world tour. Nana Rap, whatcha got for us?
NRNana Rap
Word to the gumshoes, Gregmeister. Let's rock the house! (rock music plays)
Alex Haley was the man, listen to what I say.
Trace an ancestor here named Corsican face.
Check out a map. A nation side a nation.
'Cause with Senegal, it forms a confederation.
They got beautiful beaches. Tourists soak up the rays.
And if you like wrestling, it's a national craze.
So, west African coast is where you'll pick up the trail.
Now, go bust Patty. Lock her up in jail!
You got the Nana! Nana-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Nana-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Nana. Ooh...
Nana Rap, ladies and gentlemen!
Convene that court and move out fast. Head for a nation where King Hammurabi once ruled.
Sure, Carmen. That was part of ancient Mesopotamia. It's where they created writing, and... and the wheel, and the 60-minute hour, and...
And unfortunately for us, Patty, they created one of the first systems of law. Its main principle was the strong shall not injure the weak. Ha! Can you imagine?
Gee, Carmen, how did you ever learn so much about the law?
I make it a point to know my enemies.
Scott (sings to the tune of The Supremes' "Stop! In the Name of Love" as the Supreme Court is revealed in the 2nd round): Stop! In the name of law!
And this is Eartha Brute, Carmen Sandiego's darling of devious deltoid devastation.
(singing) Eartha Brute, huh
Her last known whereabouts: Philadelphia, PA, home of the world-renowned cheesesteak. These tasty fast-ordered delicacies are made by filling a soft hoagie roll with fried strips of thinly sliced beefsteak and topping it with melted cheese. Oh. Oh, that looks good. Personally, I like mine with extra, extra, extra, extra onions. Now, sure you can get them in other towns but take it from me, cheesesteaks taste better when you eat them in Philly, period. Or they did until today when Eartha Brute bibbed up then bopped off with all the cheesesteak in town. Stop her before she eats the whole haul for breakfast, gumshoes, it's your job to solve...
...THE CHEESE STEAK BRUTE QUAKE!
For our next clue, we turn to our agent from ACME kindly dear old granny net. Hit it, Nana Rap!
NRNana Rap
Thanks, sonny. Let's rock the house! (echoes 4 times and rock music plays)
Eartha's styling east with the Philly Steaks
To the biggest city in the smallest state.
In the 1630s, this town was formed,
So religious freedom could be the norm.
The Moshassuck River is where it set.
River number 2 is the Woonasquatucket.
Well, I'm droppin' Science, Greggie dear.
Check you later.
I'm outta here!
'Cause I'm the Nana! (echoes) Nana!
Nana Rap, ladies and gentlemen! Let's hear it for her please.
Eartha, I'm sending you to Lilongwe, an African capital. But first, get some new clothes.
But, Carmen. I like what I'm wearing. It shows my muscles.
Well, this is a very modest country. Women can't wear shorts or pants. They're against the law.
Oh, sure. And the guys get to wear what they want?
Nope. Long hair that touches the collar is against the law. So are bell bottom trousers.
Gee. Then I guess I gotta go shopping. There just isn't much selection in the size 82 petite, you know.
(as the Chief, Greg, and the gumshoes travel to Stockholm, Sweden)
Greg, do we really need all these wagons?
I had to make sure we brought enough snack food along, Chief. Want a pretzel?
Nobel Library. (Shoeprints are revealed)
(each time the Cheesesteaks are revealed in the 2nd round)
Heisted hoagies!
Fallen hero!
Phil-a-delphia cheesesteak! (sung to Elton John's Philadelphia Freedom)
Grounded grinder!
Go, Caitlin!
Go, Devon!
The Loot!
