Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? · Season 1, Episode 15

Chief, Rockapella and others in “Unfinished Business”

Chief

And this is Double Trouble, Carmen's diabolical dual of do-badders.

Rockapella

(singing) Double Trouble (Trouble)

Chief

Their last known whereabouts: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Next to Rio's Guanabara Bay stands a towering chunk of granite rising 1,300 feet. The Indians who first lived here called the pointy isolated peak, Pot de Sucre, which means pointy isolated peak. Then the Portuguese changed it to Pâo de Açucar, or Sugarloaf. English nanny Henrietta Carstairs was the first European to scale Sugarloaf in 1817. Now hundreds of people a day take a six minute cable car ride to the peak. But no more because today, Double Trouble, engineers of mayhem, rallied through Rio, ripped off the rock, and, well, ran away. Gumshoes, you've got to catch Carmen and rustle up those...

Rockapella

(singing) Woo-woo-ooo-oo

Chief

...RIO ROCK WRANGLERS!

Greg

Now, I really do think we're gettin' close to catchin' Double Trouble. All we hafta do is contin--

Mrs. Pumpkinclanger

Oh, you think so, do you?!

Greg

It's my upstairs neighbor, Mrs. Pumpkinclanger. (enters the alley and looks up at Mrs. Pumpkinclanger) Hey, Mrs. P!

Mrs. Pumpkinclanger

"How that red rain hath made the harvest grow", said the poet Lord Byron. He was describing a sight in the center of Belgium, where Napoleon fought his last battle in 1815 and now Double Trouble are a blight on that same sight. Uh, you know, I'm a bit of a poet myself. (shows a book) The stench of crime lies heavy upon us. Like a patient etherised upon a table and alas my downstairs neighbors are a clumsy surgeon and trusted with its cure. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Good-bye. (shuts her window)

Greg

Good-bye. Thank-- Thank you very much. Thanks a lot. By the way, we have copies of her book in the lobby after the show. Okay?

Carmen

If you guys don't move, you'll be in a mountain of trouble.

Double Trouble

Where to, Carmen?

Carmen

Go to the country once known as Mesopotamia. It was one of the first civilizations on earth.

Double Trouble

Well, that was then. What's there now?

Carmen

The country's capital is a big city on both banks of the Tigris River. It's also the center of industry and transportation. They're reconstructing after the damage from the Gulf War.

Double Trouble

We're there, boss! Let's rock the Cradle of civilization!

(as the Chief, Greg, and the gumshoes travel to Ulan Bator, Mongolia)

Chief

This thing is sorta drafty, Greg. Can you close the window?

Greg

No windows, Chief. This is the economy model.
