-==Plot==
-===Part 1===
-In Poitiers, France, [[Chase Devineaux]], an agent of Interpol, and his partner [[Julia "Jules" Argent (2019 character)|Julia Argent]] are driving in the night. The two Interpol agents are discussing a master superthief: [[Carmen Sandiego (2019 character)|Carmen Sandiego]]. In the last weeks, Carmen Sandiego has managed to robs millions of euros combined from A Swiss Bank, a high end art gallery in Cairo, and a Shanghi amusement park. Julia notes that Interpol HQ has yet to determine a pattern to her crimes except that she wears a red trenchcoat and fedora and seems to announce her crimes by making random public appearences beforhand. Chase notes she made such an appearence ealier that day. Chase also asks aloud who Carmen is and why her MO is the way it is. Julia suggest that steal might be a game to her. Chase tells her the game is over as Carmen is in his jurisdiction now, though he doesn't know why. Julia notes that Potiers is rich in history and starts ticking off things Carmen might be planning to steal. Chase abruptly stops the car. He then tells Julia that she's an agent of Interpol not a mueseum guide and shouldn't share "dull facts about boring things". He also notes that she's only been on the force for only two weeks. As he brags about how his experience trumps her intelligence, Carmen suddenly appears. Julia spots her and points her out to Chase. Chase tells Julia to stay put before giving chase.
-Hoping from roof to roof, Carmen admires the beauty of France. A voice tells her to save the sightseeing for after the job. Carmen chuckles and states "Player, glad to hear you're onboard." [[Player (2019 character)|Player]] tells Carmen he wouldn't miss a night out with her for the world. Player then directs Carmen toward where the job takes place. Carmen breaks in and soon enters the building where her target is. Meanwhile, Chase has entered the building as well but is delayed by his choice to take a two century old elevator. Meanwhile, Carmen finds a walled up Atrium and deduces her target is there.  Meanwhile, Chase gets out of the elevator and runs up the stairs. Meanwhile, Player cracks the safe. Suddenly, Carmen spots something and tells Player it's something she thought she would never see again. Carmen bags it just as Chase enters the room. Chase chases Carmen only to lose her after she hangglides away while he falls on his car. Chase tells Julia to secure the crime scene while he goes after Carmen.
-Meanwhile, Carmen arrives at the train station. Player downloads a ticker for her to take to Paris. Carmen changes into jeans and a red hoodie. She then enters the first-class conpartment just as the train leaves with Devineax in pursuit. Carmen thanks Player for getting her first class. Player tells her she's earned it. Suddenly, a man enters the compartment and pulls out a high tech rod. A blast of green light is then fired out of the rod at Carmen. Player is suddenly cut off from Carmen. Carmen tells the man "Dude, seriously? Static Cling?" The man tells her it's a side effect of the Directional EMP before adding "So you can forget about reaching for your phone and fancy toys. They're dead." Carmen tells the man "I know how an electromagnetic pulse works Gray. You aren't the only one who passed Dr. Bellum's class. And you didn't really think I'd take any of your bait without checking for a tracking device did you Gray? That's right. I wanted you to find me. It's time we tied up loose ends."  Gray replies that she was the only loose end until he captured the elusive Carmen Sandiego five seconds ago before adding "Or should I call you Black Sheep?"
-We shift to sometime in the past where a younger Carmen is sitting somewhere with Gray and thirty-eight other people. A woman welcomes Carmen, Gray, and the thirty-eight others to [[V.I.L.E. (2019)|VILE]] Training Academy for Thieves. The woman tells them VILE stands for Valuable Imports and Lavish Exports. The woman adds that VILE traffiks stolen goods to the four conders of the globe. She then introduces herself as Coach Brunt. Coach Brunt tells Carmen, Gray, and the thirty-eight others that they were selected for their one year program and lists the rules: 1) No contact with the outside world, 2) No cell phones, 3) Use first names only until they get assigned their codenames. Coach Brunt than addresses Carmen as Lambkins. Gray laughs at this. Carmen angrily grabs Gray and tells him only Coach Brunt calls her Lambkins and to everyone else she's Black Sheep.
-Back in the present, Gray notes she sure schooled him that day. Carmen tells him she thought he should know who he was dealing with. Gray notes that he still doesn't know her. Carmen notes that she's a professional thief like him. Gray notes that she was never like him and asks for her story telling her "Your clock runs out when we reach Paris. Make it count."
-Carmen reveals that she was found and brought to VILE Isle as a baby after being abandoned. She never found out who found her as a baby but she always suspected it was Coach Brunt. She was homeschooled by a series of nannies who taught her languages, history, geography, and their numerous cultures. She would also spend her days pranking most of the others, including Cookie Booker, VILE's bookkeeper, and the captain of the ship she arrives on. One day, she gets her hands on the captain's cell phone. Sometime afterwards, she makes contact with Player for the first time.
-Later, Carmen's meeting with Player has inspried her to enroll into VILE Academy. She meets up with the leaders of VILE: Professor Maelstrum, Dr. Sarah Bellum, Coach Brunt, Countess Cleo, and Instructor Shadowsan. Black Sheep requests to be allowed to enroll. The leaders all vote in her favor except Shadowsan. Black Sheep is allowed to enroll. After oreientation, she meets Gray, Antonio, Jean-Paul, and Sheena, who she quickly makes enemies of. During detention one day, after pranking Cookie Booker during her delivery of the Vile Hardrive she makes every year, they pick their codenames: Gray is Crackle, Jean-Paul is Le Chevre (French for The Goat), Antonio is El Topo (Spainish for The Mole), Sheena is Tigress, and a mime student is Mime Bomb. During the final exams, everyone passes Shadowsan's test except Black Sheep. Because of this, everyone graduates except Black Sheep. Black Sheep approches Shadowsan and accuses him of never having a dollor in his coat since she searched every pocket. Shadowsan denies he cheated and accuses her of still being too immature to be a VILE Operative. To prove him wrong, Black Sheep stows away with Crackle and the others when they go off on their first caper, unaware that Mime bomb spotted her.
-===Part 2===
-Black Sheep, Gray, and the others are on the way to the latter's first caper. After a brief chat with Player, Black Sheep grabs hold of Crackle when she discovers they're going to parachute down. Crackle is far from pleased to discover that black Sheep stowed away and tells her to stay put until they get back. Black Sheep still goes off on her own. Back on VILE Isle, Mime Bomb alerts the Faculty about Black Sheep's action and they dispatch the Cleaners. Meanwhile, Black Sheep has arrived at an acheology dig site and met an acheologist. Suddenly, the site is attacked by Crackle and the others. El Topo remids Crackle to leave no witnesses. When Crackle points the EMP at the archeologist, Black Sheep realizes that he going to kill him just for being a witness. Black Sheep demands an explaination. Suddenly, the Cleaners grab and clorofoam her.
-In the present, Carmen asks why he went to such extremes that night. Crackle tells her that graduation was a game changer. After they graduated, they learned that VILE's true name is Villians International League of Evil. Carmen notes that her entire upbringing was a lie. Meanwhile, Chase Deveneax is still pursuing Carmen. Julia calls him and informs him that the crime scene was full of things that were already stolen and that it's owned by an import-export company. She also imforms him that all the places Carmen robbed are all owned by the same company and has come to the conclusion that Carmen is a theif who steals from other thieves. Suddenly, Chase's car runs out of gas. Because of this, he commanders a plane.
-Back on the train, Crackle asks Carmen about her new look and name. Carmen tells him she'll cut to the chase.
-Back in the past, Black Sheep has her cell phone taken and is placed under survellience until the new school year starts. Unbeknownst to anyone, Black Sheep is just biding her time and waiting for her chance to escape because now that she knows it's a super criminal organization whose true name is Villians International League of Evil she no longer wantsto join VILE: Now she wants to destroy VILE by using what they taught her against them starting with stealing the VILE hard drive Cookie Booker delievers to VILE and escaping from the island with it. To make sure he doesn't rat her out again, Black Sheep locks Mime Bomb in a closet and takes a toolkit. She then swaps the toolkit for the hard drive. Cookie Baker discovers the switch and raises the alarm just as carmen is getting off the elevator. Carmen tries to escape through the same pipe she escaped through the last time only to find it's been bolted shut. So, after discovering Cookie Booker was givn clearence to leave, Carmen locks her in a closet and steals her red fedora and tranch coat and fools the Cleaners into letting her outside. By the time the Faculty discover Cookie Booker's imprisionment, Black Sheep is already heading for the boat. Black Sheep knocks out the captain and takes his keys. The Cleaners try to go after her but someone slashed their engine's wires so they can't start the helicopter. Shadowsan goes after Black Sheep but she starts the boat just in time to get it too far away for him to jump onboard. Black Sheep tells him "I paas, you fail." Once she's away from the island, Carmen calls Player and tells him about her escape. Player informs her the island she was on was one of the Canary Islands and that she'll nned a passport. He also tells her that to get her one she needs to give him her real name as Black Sheep's not gonna cut it. Black Sheep looks at the fedora and reads "Carmen Brand Wears Made in San Diego". Deciding that, since she was born and raised in places with ties to Spain, her new name should be Spainish, Black Sheep picks the Spainsih words on the hat and tells Player "It's Carmen. Carmen Sandiego. Now about this whole white hat thing. Does it have to be white?"
-Back in the present, the train arrives in Paris causing Crackle to note "End of the line." Crackle then delivers the message he came to give her: VILE misses her and wants a truce. Carmen deduces that that means they want her stealing for them instead of from them. Crackle tells her VILE is offering her a full parden if she comes back. Carmen refuses, knocks Crackle out, and dresses him up in her fancy outfit just as Deveneax arrives. Carmen contacts Player and informs him of what the something she saw earlier was: the Russian Dolls who were her only compaions until she met him. She takes the tracker off and put it on a passing boat. Player confirms he sent the money from the Shanghi job to the charities Carmen wanted it sent to and has found a new VILE hideout. Carmen takes off just as two mysterious people start following her.
