Chief: "Well, you need to get your act together as always."

Host: "Or we're never gonna find them."

(The Host) exits the Chief's office and goes back to the 3 Gumshoes..........

Host: "So remember, we're looking for Patty Larceny and trying to get back that Matryoshka, so most importantly, ACME Budnet has just provided all of us with a telephone conversation between Patty and Carmen Sandiego, listen very carefully."

Patty Larceny: (on the telephone) "I know I grabbed this Matryoshka, but it's taking a couple of hours to get to the exact location, Carmen."

Carmen Sandiego: (on the other telephone) "Never mind that, Patty, those ACME agents are gaining up on you, head for a group of Denmark Islands in the South Atlantic."

Patty Larceny: (on the telephone) "But I'm a bit hungry."

Carmen Sandiego: (on the other telephone) "Well, I think you're in luck, these North Atlantic islands are full of fresh fish and seafood dinners."

Patty Larceny: (on the telephone) "Seafood dinners? that sounds real good and tasty."

Carmen Sandiego: (on the other telephone) "Those Gumshoes are gonna make a dinner meal outta you if you don't hurry up and get going."

End telephone conversation.........

Mysterious Man: "Well, she went to a place that's full of penguins and polar bears, now get on over there and catch her."

Host: "Alright, thanks a bunch."

Host: "Okay, Gumshoes, name the state, is it Antarctica? Texas? or Colorado? we'll begin with all of you, now, (Gumshoe's 1st name), what do you say?"

Host: "Nice job, alright, we're gonna talk about your next journey quest in just 1 little bit, you tracked Patty all the way here, we've got something very good for you, hey, Chief."

Back in the Chief's office
Chief: "When you get on the road and you say the right words: The fastest way to find it is to use a magnifying glass like this 1, and oh, way to go, Gumshoes."

Back to the Host and Gumshoe # 3
Host: "Alright, now (Gumshoe's 1st name), you don't know where you're gonna go yet, but you got the loot, the warrant and the crook, so now you got a pen and some note paper, and you can just write down the name of the place."

Gumshoe # 3 begins writing down the name of the place she's gonna go.

Host: "Alright, nice job, now all we need to do is figure out where Carmen Sandiego is right now, and furthermore, [Telephone Ringing] you get another telephone call, and I'm gonna pick up the telephone here and-"

Host: (on the telephone) "Hello? yes, she's right here."

The Host gives Gumshoe # 3 the telephone.

Gumshoe # 3: (on the telephone) "Hello?"

Patty Larceny: (on the other telephone) "I used to be a free spirited school girl, but now I'm not, and it's Carmen's entire fault, look for her in Beijing, China."

Chief: "(Host's 1st Name), let's go to the map."

Back to the Host and Gumshoe # 3 on the map
Host: "So, (Gumshoe's 1st name), you know what this is all about, don't you?"

Gumshoe # 3: "Yes, I do."

Host: "It's about the end game where you need to identify 8 different South American countries in 99 2nds with the marker, when you're absolutely right, you'll hear this sound, [Fire Truck Siren Wailing] and if you're wrong, you'll hear this sound [Failure Buzzer Sounds], now, come on, (Gumshoe's 1st name), we're gonna do this for 99 2nds on the clock, you've got all of your good friends to cheer you on, good luck, on your mark, get ready, get set, go."
