Part 1 of 3. A flashback episode! Super-baddie Maelstrom attempts to break out of prison. It looks like he died while escaping. Zack and Ivy ask the Chief for a little more info on Maelstrom so most of the episode is what happened in 1985. The Chief's first case for Acme involved the brilliant marine archeologist Dr. Maelstrom. Detective Carmen Sandiego is determined to stop Maelstrom from pulling off the "greatest seagoing theft of all time". Maelstrom tries to steal the sunken Titanic. Acme creates the Chief, a robot, to help her catch him. After the story Zack and Ivy realize Maelstrom is still alive. They track him to Belize and are captured. To be continued... argh!
Detective Sandiego kicks butt in this episode. A pre-Chief and C-5 Acme was interesting. Wow, Carmen was that good a detective without Acme's technology. She has quite a temper...
I am still working on this...
Maelstrom

The episode begins with the apparent death of Dr. Maelstrom. He was a brilliant marine archeologist who committed underwater thefts. Acme agent Carmen Sandiego captured him on August 31 1985. Maelstrom predicted Carmen Sandiego's decent to the dark side. He also appears in "Retribution Part 2" and "Retribution Part 3"
