03x07 - Odd Squad in the Shadows

[bunniefuu]

[Opal] Coming up next on Odd Squad...

We need you to focus on oddness while we focus on golf.

And there's a villain making things disappear

-around town today. -They're gone...

I can't start my tournament with this villain on the loose.

Let us in!

♪

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla and Oswald.

This is us wearing mustaches.

We travel the world,

investigating anything strange,

weird,

and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[computer] Agents, you have an incoming call from the Big O.

♪

There you four are!

[gadget zapping]

Big O, what are you doing?

I'm on vacation in the Great Plains of Odd.

But...

that's one of the oddest places in the world.

Exactly!

Thought I'd take it easy.

[gadget zapping]

I understand completely.

[Big O] On to business.

Something very odd has happened in Pinehurst, North Carolina,

the birthplace of miniature golf.

The Ms. O in Pinehurst will be able to tell you more

-at their local headquarters. -We're on it, Big O!

[Big O] Great! Now I'll get back to relaxing.

[inhaling deeply]

Okay...

There you four are.

-[Opal] Whoa! -[Orla] Impressive.

-[Omar] Amazing! -[Oswald] Cool.

Welcome to Pinehurst.

As you might have noticed,

we're a big golf town and today is a big golf day:

our third annual Odd Squad Mini Golf Tournament.

I'm still not sure why we're here.

Every year something goes wrong

because all my agents are playing golf

and nobody's stopping oddness.

Here's a picture from our second annual tournament.

[dramatic instrumental]

-[Opal gasping] -[Omar] Whoa!

And our first annual tournament...

What was the problem there?

Invisible creatures.

That was before we realized it.

That's after.

-[Oswald] I see. -[Omar] That makes sense.

Anyway, we need you to focus on oddness

while we focus on golf.

And there's already a villain making things

disappear around town today.

Here's the evidence we've collected so far.

Who's in charge?

Actually, we've never talked about that.

But, I suppose if we were to choose, I would say--

[all] I am.

Well? Which one is it?

Well, in the old Odd Squad days we had a way

to settle arguments about who was in charge.

Whoever catches the most scorpions is the leader.

-[shouting in alarm] -[Omar] No, no, no, no, no!

Orla, fine, you can be the leader!

[Omar] Well, in that case,

I guess I'll just step away to find a North Carolina souvenir.

And we shall find this villain making things disappear, Ms. O.

Please, call me North Carolina Ms. O.

-[horn honking] -That's my ride.

♪

Nice.

Bye, y'all!

♪

-[loud thump] -Solved it!

-[Oswald] How?! -[Opal] Excuse me?

The villain has already made three things disappear:

a street sign, a painting, and a house.

And, like all villains,

this one must be working in a pattern,

something that repeats.

And this villain is working in a very simple pattern.

All these things are red.

It is a color pattern.

Shall we release the celebration scorpions?

-[Opal] No! -Yeah, let's skip that step.

Fine, then.

You there, in the white coat!

Are there any villains that like red in this town?

Yes, Pinehurst has a villain named Red Fred.

Then, as your leader, I order you to take us to him!

Uh, I don't have a car.

We have a van.

We'll take it from here.

Wait...

Should we go get Omar?

[Opal] He's looking for a souvenir.

You wanna be the one to tell him he has to go?

[nervously] Yeah, I'm sure he'll be fine.

Good choice.

♪

Devilled egg room... Nope!

Golf room... Mm-mm.

And... office supply room!

There's gotta be a pencil in here

with North Carolina written all over it.

[tense instrumental]

Hello?

-[gasping] -[Odin] Close the door!

Who are you?

I'm Agent Omar, Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

Who are you?

We are a shadow organization working within Odd Squad.

Whoa! Does that mean that

you're trying to take down Odd Squad?

What? No, we're trying to make a shadow.

Yeah, we just wanted to put on a shadow puppet show

for the mini golf tournament.

We've been meeting every week, in the dark, for two months,

but we haven't made one shadow yet.

You know that you need a light to make a shadow, right?

-Did he say light? -Tell us more.

You need two things to make a shadow:

a light source and an object.

Here's your light source.

Just shine it on the wall.

Here's your object.

Now, the shadow is made on the wall

because the object blocks part of the light

from the light source. Watch!

♪

-[stapler clattering] -[all] Whoa!

"Hi, I'm Mr. Stapler. I like to staple things."

[giggling]

You're the one we've been looking for.

Will you teach us your ways?

And then we can dazzle everybody at the golf tournament

with a shadow puppet show.

I don't know...

[all] All hail the Shadow King! All hail the Shadow King!

Well, I guess I could stay for a bit.

-Yes! -Yeah.

♪

[knocking on door]

Odd Squad!

Red Fred, we know you've been stealing all things red.

I'm not Red Fred.

I'm Crimson Carl!

I don't steal red things

because red and crimson are totally different.

Crimson has a little more blueish-purple in it.

We wish to investigate your house of lies!

Let us in!

♪

A-ha!

I see you were hiding Red Fred.

That's Ruby Robbie.

Then you are Red Fred!

Vermilion Vince.

How are you guys not seeing this?

Then it is you!

[Crimson Carl] Rose Rose.

Do I need to pull out the color swatches?

You can tell from the slight pinkish hue.

And the roses.

[Crimson Carl] Right.

You!

Turquoise Tim.

Not even close to red.

[gadget plays Odd Squad tune]

I am Orla, leader of OSMU.

Something else just disappeared!

That cannot be.

We're at the red house with all the red villains.

Nobody there did this.

The missing thing is a green rug from a furniture store.

I'll send a picture.

Please solve this!

I can't start my tournament with this villain on the loose.

[sighing]

It is not a color pattern.

I quit the role as leader.

Sure, I guess I can give it a whirl.

Let's go to the van.

Good luck, Odd Squad!

That didn't sound right.

[mockingly] Good luck, Odd Squad!

[chuckling] Yeah, that was better.

Yeah.

Loyal subjects!

Bring me something to make shadows with.

Please?

Your majesty,

I humbly present you this glass unicorn.

I cannot make shadows with this. It's transparent.

-What did you call it? -Transparent.

You can see through it,

which means light goes through it.

♪

Without something to block the light,

a shadow cannot be made.

♪

[Omar] You!

What have you brought me?

Your highness,

I have brought you nothing but this soiled rag.

Yes, it's perfect!

This rag is opaque.

I do not know what that means, but,

thanks for saying so.

Opaque means that light cannot pass through.

It blocks the light, which creates a...

shadow!

It's so beautiful.

[Omar] Weep.

I shall continue my lesson while you weep.

You'll be weeping when I have my revenge.

What was that, Odin?

Nothing, your highness.

Nothing but sweet, sweet revenge.

♪

I studied all the data.

Please turn to the diagram on page .

[paper rustling]

How did you get these printed so fast?

I know a guy.

As you'll see in figure A,

each of the objects stolen is a different shape.

First a triangle, then a square, then a pentagon,

then this rug, a hexagon, or a six-sided shape.

So, it's a shapes pattern.

An adding sides pattern, to be specific.

The first object has three sides,

then four sides, then five, six...

So I predict the next thing that will be stolen

will be a seven-sided shape.

So, we must find a villain that likes to add sides.

Van computer, is there anyone in town

with a name likes "Sides"?

[computer] Mr. Sides is at Main Street.

Please bring us there, then.

What is in the rest of this book?

Oh, pictures of kittens, just to fill it in.

Aww!

[aww'ing]

[aww'ing continues]

[Opal] They're playing!

So cute...

Aw.

♪

[all] Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there!

Mr. Sides, we know you're the villain

stealing things around town.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, villain?

I'm just an honest owner of a restaurant

which serves sides of all kinds.

You mean sides of shapes, like hexagons?

No, no, no, side dishes, like...

mashed potatoes and guacamole,

rice pilaf, that sort of thing.

Wait, you don't serve any main dishes, like hamburgers?

No, everyone else does that.

I'm just sides. That's my thing.

If you're hungry,

might I suggest the All-Sides Spectacular?

You can choose any three sides,

then you choose any two sides to go as sides to those sides.

I do not think he is the villain.

No, no, I'm the victim!

My restaurant used to have

five gold stars on that there poster.

See?

They're gone....

Wait...

Those stars had ten sides each.

To fit the adding sides pattern

the next thing stolen should have had seven sides.

My theory was wrong.

I'm retiring as leader.

There you four are!

Wait a minute, there's only three of you now.

Omar's looking for a souvenir.

The tournament is about to begin!

Have you solved this thing yet?

Not yet.

Well, that does it,

the third annual Odd Squad Mini Golf Tournament is...

cancelled.

Know Your Buttons.

Agent Omar, here.

You know, being a part of Odd Squad

means that there's high-tech buttons everywhere.

On your suit, on your gadgets,

and in our case, in the van.

And it's important to know how they work.

There are so many buttons!

We're still discovering new ones every day.

There's an instruction manual

that explains what each one does.

This is part one...

of .

So, I've perfected a faster way to figure them out:

press a button and see what happens.

when the light flashes red.

Okay, red, got it.

Okay...

Okay. Re-- ugh, no.

Red. Ugh, the lights are flashing too fast!

[computer] seconds remaining.

Hold on, I think that there's a pattern.

If I can figure out

the repeating pattern of the lights,

I can predict when it'll flash red.

Blue, green, yellow, red. Blue, green, yellow, red.

I think that that's the pattern!

Blue, green, yellow, red!

And then it repeats.

So, red comes after yellow.

-Blue, green, yellow, red! -[gadget beeping]

Well, I've learned an important lesson.

Never push a button without reading the instruction manual.
