(We open up on waves crashing over rocks and a foggy cliffside.)

Maelstrom: Scotland, the gothic grandeur of its Highlands. The majestic bellows of its bagpipes. The tartan weave of its kilts.

Cleo: The bitter sting of its cold. How are they not freezing?

Bellum: It is unusually drafty in here.

Maelstrom: Sure, our new headquarters could use some weather proofing, but doesn't it just scream VILE?

Brunt: I'm gonna start screaming if they don't quit their caterwauling! It's like strangling a goose.

Bellum: Gunnar, however are we expected to entice new students to the very edge of the earth?

Roundabout: Pshaw, Dr. Bellum. The Outer Hebrides of Scotland are practically next door to London!

Cleo: Then why don't you vacate your plush, heated office and pop over for a spot of tea, neighbor?

Maelstrom: Now, now, Countess. Our esteemed colleague Roundabout pulled many strings to help us relocate VILE Academy in our hour of need, completely under the radar.

Brunt: Way to go, new guy.

Roundabout: Besides, I'm presently focused on monitoring all transmissions for Carmen Sandiego, there has been no sign of her all summer long, despite the globe-scouring efforts of our recent graduates.

Brunt: Fiercest class ever. They'll tear her apart.

Maelstrom: If Shadowsan hasn't already done so, Coach Brunt. The recent lack of Carmen sightings suggests that our strategy of provoking a decisive falling out between our two traitors may have paid off. Carmen Sandiego may already very well be no more.






(Transition to a couple dancing the tango. Inside a building Carmen descends on a wire.)

Carmen: Player, I'm in. Gotta say, robbing my birth country's best-known bank is not what I wanna be remembered for.

Player: You're targeting a safety deposit box in a bank in Argentina, linked to your late father. Which, in theory makes you the rightful heir to whatever might be inside that box.

Carmen: Hopefully a clue to my mothers' identity, since I highly doubt her name is Vera Cruz.

Player: Like the city in Mexico, could be where she was born, or where your dad was planning to start a new life with you, guys after leaving VILE.

Carmen: All good thoughts, Player. Let's see if we can't find out.

(Carmen finds the box and breaks it open.)

Carmen: So that's Dexter Wolfe. I have his eyes.

Carmen: These all belong to my father. There's something else. Player take a look at this.

Player: Okay, how cute were you?

Carmen: Very, but I meant take a close look.

Player: Image analysis, on it.

(Zack, Ivy and Lincoln are outside watching the dancers)

Zack: Who knew the Irish jig was such a big deal here in Buenos Aires?

Lincoln: What makes you think its Irish. Besides it's the tango, not the Irish jig.

Ivy: He's right, bro. Nothing Irish about it. Though it does have a kicky thing going on.
