03x18 - The Weight of the World Depends on Orla/Substitute Agents

Post by bunniefuu »

[Big O] Coming up next, on Odd Squad...

I've prepared a series of challenges for you all.

There can only be one champion.

So the agent who captures the special protector's helmet,

will be guardian of the clover!

-[screaming] -Hide behind the rocks!

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla and Oswald.

This is a German shepherd-poodle mix.

We travel the world

investigating anything strange,

weird,

and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.



[cheering]



[all] Shields up!



[Opal] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

[Big O] The Weight of the World Depends on Orla

[Omar] We should use the laser tag room more often.

I agree.

-Hello, Odd Squad! -[agents] Aaah!

Intruder!

Uh, who are you exactly?

I'm Jellybean Joe.

I'm a villain who loves jelly beans.

[crazed laughing]

What are you doing in our van?

Installing this!

[gasps]

Uh, we have no idea what that is.

It's a jelly bean blaster.

And when the sand timer runs out,

it will fill your entire van in jelly beans!

No van. No OSMU!

And no OSMU means I can cause more oddness!

Oswald, please tell me you have an emergency manual

on defusing a jelly bean blaster!

There's no way his manual would know about the mega-beans.

What are the mega-beans?

I'm glad you asked.

Place the heaviest of these mega-beans

on top of the blaster,

and it will stop the jelly bean mess from happening.

And you couldn't possibly know that.

You literally just handed that to us.

-On a silver platter! -No matter!

In fact, I'll even leave the mega-beans here.

Because none of you will figure out

which one is heaviest.

Uh, we can just weigh them.

Not without your weight measuring tools!

Like your pan balance, and your scale!

[crazed laughing]

Place the incorrect mega-bean

on top of the jelly bean blaster,

and your van will entirely be filled

with jelly bean madness!

[crazed laughing]

Good luck, Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

It's the red one.

Yup, definitely the red one.

-Trust me on this. -Halt!

I have experienced a situation

like this once before.

'Twas the day I was chosen

to be the guardian of the -leaf clover.

It was down to me, and three other agents.



Congratulations Oriana, Osmond, Ogilvy and Orla.

-All four of you have-- -What?

We cannot hear you!

I said, all four of you--

You know what? Just come down here!

As I was saying,

all four of you have been selected

as candidates to guard and protect the -leaf clover.

-It is real? -Oh, it is real.

Which is why, I've prepared

a series of challenges for you all.

There can only be one champion.

So the agent who captures

the special protector's helmet...

...Will be guardian of the clover.

-Would anybody like some water? -Whoa!

I like to add mango or lemon.

It makes the water more juice-like.

Huh? Would you look at that.

The mango sank, and lemons float.

That is because mangoes are denser,

or heavier, than lemons.

When anchoring my canoe,

I always use a sack of mangoes.

Now, let us begin the challenge!

Works for me.

These three keys before you, are all similar in weights.

But only the heaviest one, will open the door.

And take you to the next challenge.

But! If you choose the wrong key,

it will result in your immediate removal

from the quest.

Begin!

Now what do we do?

We should feel the keys.

Maybe we can tell which is heaviest.

[suspenseful music]

It is the red one. Definitely.



It turned! I was right!

[Oriana, Osmond & Orla] Aaah!

What is down there?

Oh, just the waiting room.

[Ogilvy] This is quite pleasant!

[harp music]

It is the green one for sure.

Halt! We need to be working together

to figure out which key is the heaviest.

Then, we can all go through the door together.

We just need this.



We can use this pan balance to compare the weight

of the two remaining keys.

The yellow key is lower, that means it is a heavier key.

Let us go through the door, together.

As Orla suggested.

[all cheering] We did it!

[Opal] Hold on a second!

How is that helpful?

Jellybean Joe took our pan balance,

so we can't weigh the mega-beans, remember?

If you would just let me finish,

you will soon understand.

Hurry! We're running out of time!

Bring upon us the next challenge.

-Water anyone? -[Oriana, Osmond & Orla] Aaah!

Perhaps with some grapes or strawberries.

Huh. Would you look at that.

The grape sunk.

And the strawberries are floating.

That is because grapes are denser,

or heavier, than strawberries and sink to the bottom.

[Oriana & Osmond] How do you know that?

I have dropped many a grape at the bottom of lakes,

while snacking during underwater missions.

I will admit, it is not the best time to snack.

We are fine without water for now, thank you Ms. O.

Now, for the next challenge.

[horn fanfare]

You must find a rock that is equal in weight

to this jackalope statue.

Where are the rocks?

In that humongous pile!

[game show music]

There's only one correct rock.

Place it on the column at the end of the hallway,

to open the door.

[Orla] We can use the pan balance again.

And one more thing: while you try,

you'll be blasted with lightning

by this evil sorceress!

[agents scream]

I know, strange choice to hire a villain.

But I wanted to give you a realistic experience

of what it would be like protecting this place.

-[thunder clap] -[screaming]

Hide behind the rocks!

[evil laugh]



Orla, any ideas?

We can put the jackalope statue

on one side of the pan balance.

And a rock on the other side.

And when both sides are even, it means they weigh the same.

Great, so we just have to keep trying different rocks,

until we find the one equal to the statue.

Since this rock is lower than the statue,

that means it is heavier.

The rock pile's too big,

we will never find the right one.

Send me to the waiting room!

[dramatic music]

We must remain calm in the face of danger.

Do not panic, and we will find the correct rock.

Try this one.

[thunder rumbling]

[dramatic music]

Look! The plates are equal!

We have found the correct rock!

Now we must place it on the column.

Shields up!

Take that! [evil laughter]

Oh no, the pan balance is broken.

We must go!

[evil laughing]



[cheering] Yeah! Yeah, we did it!

Oswald: Orla! Get to the part of the story

where you tell us how to weigh these mega-beans,

so that we can stop the jelly bean blaster!

She did! Orla's telling us that we shouldn't panic.

We need to stay calm, to solve the problem.

No.

[Opal, Omar & Oswald] No?!

If you would just let me finish!

[Opal, Omar & Oswald] We're running out of time!



[voice] And then there were two...

Uh, Ancient Ms. O? Is that you?

Yes. 'Tis me.

Another sorcerer was supposed to be here,

but he had another birthday party to get to.

-No matter. -It is okay.

Then let us begin the final challenge!

[mimics blowing horn]

The trumpet guy also cancelled.

As I said before, the one true victor

is the agent who can capture the special protector's helmet!

Uh, there's nothing there.

Right. It will only appear on the pedestal,

once you place the correct gem in the centre of this column.

The gems may look and feel the same,

but you must use the lighter one.

Choose incorrectly,

and the whole place will crumble!



We have no way to measure which gem is lighter.

Our pan balance was destroyed in the last challenge.

Perhaps you would like some water.

-Yes! The water can help us! -How?

Remember the strawberries.

They floated at the top of the water,

which means they are lighter, or less dense,

than both the water and the grapes.

Same as how the lemons were lighter than the mangoes.

We can put the gems in the glasses of water,

to find out which gem is lighter.

If one of them floats,

while the other one sinks to the bottom,

the floating gem is the lighter one!



This gem is floating!





We did it!

But only one of us can win...

[tense orchestral music]





Oof! Oww!

[Orla sighs]

Word of advice,

you should really look out for yourself.

I did it! I got the helmet, I win!

Congratulations, Osmond.

For making my decision, easier.

Orla will be the guardian of the -leaf clover.

But I got the helmet!

Orla showed the true qualities of a guardian,

by looking out for more than just herself.

A skill she will need as the protector.

Congratulations, Orla.

You are now the guardian of the -leaf clover.

[epic overture]



And that is the point of my story!

We can figure out which mega-bean is the heaviest,

by putting them in water.

[Opal, Oswald and Omar] We know!

[Oswald] The yellow one's the heaviest!

Come on, come on, before the timer runs out.

Wait!

The mega-bean will stop the blaster?

Correct.

And if we don't use it,

it'll fill the van with jelly beans?

This is our day off...

Best. Day. Off. Ever!

[Oswald, Opal & Orla] Agreed!

[Big O] Substitute Agents

Another day, another dollar.

Oxley, we don't get paid!

True, it is another day, though.

A day where we get to work in the OSMU van.

And there it is.

You ever wonder what it's like to be an agent?

Travelling around the world in this thing,

solving odd cases?

Na, I'm pretty happy working in the maintenance department.

You know, working with my hands,

fixing stuff.

Besides, I don't think I'd like all the danger.

What? There's no danger.

[Van Computer] Danger! Danger!

Okay, maybe there's a little danger.

What's going on.

I don't know, but I have an idea.

[Van Computer] Danger! Danger!

-Danger! Danger! -[panel beeping]

Thank you. I have been saying danger

for a long time, and my voice hurts.

Also, who are you?

I'm Oxley from the kitchen department.

I'm here to restock the van with food and juice.

And I'm Olanda. Maintenance department.

Where's Opal, Omar, Oswald and Orla?

[Van Computer] Unknown. I was on my break.

And when I came back, they were gone.

You take breaks?

Even computers with no feet, like to put their feet up.

Pulling up security footage.

[Oswald] Why are we all wearing matching sweaters again?

[Omar] Because, I hired a souvenir maker

to make us a personalized snow globe.

Check it out!

"Snowglobes, by Sue Venir.

Preserve your memories in plastic,

with your very own life-like snowglobe."

Something about this feels weird.

Oh, it's not just weird. It's odd.

-[She laughs] -[agents screaming]

[Omar] Sue Venir.

So you're not here to make plastic souvenirs of us?

Oh no, I totally am.

[zap]

[Olanda gasps]

[gasping]

[Sue Venir] Yes! It worked.

[screaming]

[muffled screaming]

What's that?

You want me to put you on the shelf

with the other snow globes? Sure thing.

[crazed laughing]

Now with OSMU out of the way,

I'm free to turn all my favorite places

into souvenir snow globes.

[sighs]

[crazed laughing]

[muffled screaming & yelling]

[beep]

[muffled yelling]

What are they saying?

I don't know, but it doesn't sound good.

-We should call the Big O. -We don't have time.

You heard Sue Venir, she's going to turn

all her favorite places into snow globes.

We have to stop her right away!

But, I don't even have any gadgets!

Just tools to fix rope ladders and rope to make rope ladders,

and pretty much only rope ladder-related stuff.

Well if it makes you feel any better,

the only gadget I've ever used is my juice-boxinator.

That doesn't make me feel better.

Olanda, we can do this.

Plus, it'll be our chance to finally see

what it's like to be agents.

Why aren't they calling Big O?

They're going to solve the case themselves.

How do you know this?

I got really good at lip-reading

when I was a library museum person,

on account of people having to...

-[mouths] Be quiet. -What?

-I said "be quiet." -Not now.

First we must break out of this...

festive prison.

[Orla growls]

This sweater has no gadgets.

Whoo-hoo!

We're actually inside a souvenir!

This is like my dream!

A bad dream.

My hands are turning plastic.

[gasps]

[Agents screaming]

Olanda, what do you say?

Are we agents or not?

OSMU does look like they need help.

It's agenting time!

That could be a thing that agents say.

[muffled shouting]

All we have to do is figure out where Sue will go next.

Great! How do we do that?

No idea. Solving a case is even harder than I predicted.

We can use prediction to figure out where Sue went.

Not following.

Prediction is when you use information to make a guess

on which outcome is most likely, or least likely, to happen.

So if we knew which places Sue visited the most often,

we can predict which places Sue would be most likely to go.

I have an idea. Look.

[computer beeping]

Sue Venir has an Oddstagram account.

And she posts about all the places she visits.

And it looks like she's visited some places more than once.

Van Computer, can you help us

put this information on a table, so it's easier to read?

[Van Computer] Of course!

[Oxley] Whoa! That was fast.

Hang on, I don't see any numbers

on this table. Just these lines.

Those are called tally marks.

It's a quick way to keep track

of how many of something you have.

You add a new line for each new thing.

Look! One, two, three, four.

And this line going across means five.

So you can count in groups of five.

This row with the bakery

looks like it has the most tally marks.

Five, ten, fifteen.

Sue visited the bakery times.

That means, out of all the places she's visited,

she'd be most likely to go there.

Van Computer, we need to go to the bakery

on Main Street, please.

Yeah! This is the sh*t.

[yelling] Odd Squad! Odd Squad! Stop right there!

Are you guys OSMU, I thought I snowglobed you.

We're not OSMU.

This is actually our first time solving a case.

Maybe don't share that part.

-Net-nator! -[zap]

Awww! Come on!

[Sue laughs]

Looks like your first time might be your last time.

Heh.

[zap]

What a lovely memento of my favorite bakery.

[Sue laughs]

See you later, not-OSMU.

I'll send you a postcard from my next destination.

[Sue cackles]

I totally won't, that would take too long.

[cackling]

[sighs]

Look on the bright side,

these plastic hands make great back-scratchers.

-[scratching] -Oh yeah...

Hark! They have returned!

Perhaps they've solved the case.

Yeah, they didn't solve the case.

But they're going to try again.

Well, they'd better hurry.

[Omar, Oswald & Orla] Aaah!

The plastic is getting worse!

Help us!

[agents screaming for help]

This burger restaurant has a lot of tally marks.

There's a group of five, plus two more,

that makes seven.

So Sue would be pretty likely to go there.

But it's not the place she's most likely to visit.

Take a look. This pizza place has five,

plus three, equals eight.

That's one more than the burger restaurant.

So Sue's most likely to go to the pizza place.

-Let's roll! -Ooh!

That's definitely something an agent would say.

Wait, do you think OSMU is okay?

[muffled screaming]

Yeah. I think they're wishing us good luck.

-Thanks, guys! -We'll be back soon.

This is the place.

Guh. What's with the hat?

I'm just trying something new, do you like it?

Let's focus on Sue Venir.

-Where is she? -I don't know.

But when she shows up, I'll be ready for her.

-Hey there! -[scream]

Whoops. Wrong person.

But right direction, so that's something.

Have you seen a villain named Sue Venir?

Nope.

Hasn't been anybody here at the Jelly Bean Sock pizzeria.

'Cause of the road being closed.

Our van flew here.

Wish I had more flying customers.

Also, what's with the hat?

I'm just trying something out.

Our prediction was wrong.

Only because we didn't know about the road being closed.

That's new information.

And it makes the pizza place less likely for her to visit,

and the burger restaurant, more likely.

Maybe if we hurry, we can catch her.

It's too late.

She already put it in a snowglobe.

I can't believe we let Sue get away again.

And OSMU's still trapped.

And it's supposed to rain today.

Sorry, I thought we were all just saying something sad.

Maybe we're not meant to be agents after all.

Hey.

I may not know anything about your situation,

but I know this: people told me

I couldn't put jelly beans on pizza.

Or sock inside a panzerotti.

But I'm here to tell you,

you can do anything you put your mind to,

when you do it your own way.

[He sniffs]

I think I smell socks burning.

He's right! We can do this.

Let's take a look at the next three places

Sue's most likely to go.

And figure out which place

she's be most likely to go to next.

Look! The park has five tally marks.

Ya, but the soccer place also has five tally marks

and so does this indoor rock climbing place.

How will we know which place Sue's most likely to go to,

if she's visited them, all the same amount of times?

[gasp] It's going to rain!

I thought we were past talking about sad things.

The rain's new information we can use,

just like the road being closed.

Right! So, if it's going to rain.

She's most likely to go somewhere indoors.

[both] The indoor rock climbing place!

Ooh! Talking at the same time

is definitely an agent thing to do.

-Let's go. -Wait!

Can I just say one more thing?

I don't think this hat's working for me,

so this is probably the last time you're gonna see it.

Good call.

[Oxley & Olanda] Odd Squad! Odd Squad!

-Stop right there! -[Sue laughs]

How are you gonna stop me? You're not even real agents.

No. We're not, but we just met a man

who owns a really weird pizza business,

and he told us to do things our own way.

Well, good luck with that.

It's snowglobe time.

Oxley, cover me, I have an idea!

Juice boxinator!

[action music]

-What are you doing? -What I do best.



[zap]

Rope ladder!

[Oxley & Olanda] Yes! We did it!

See you later.



If Oxley and Olanda don't help us soon,

we're gonna become a permanent part

of my souvenir collection. Sorry guys.

-It's okay. -It's a great collection.

[zap]

[cheering and clapping]

Thanks for rescuing us, guys.

You know, you'd make great agents.

Uh, no thank you.

We like our jobs.

But it was a day we'll never forget, right Oxley?

Absolutely.

Because we're gonna take a picture!

-[cries of protest] -[zap]

[screaming]

-Not again! -Are you kidding?

Uh-oh. I see what I did there.

[m*llitary music]

[lion roaring]

[Oona] Odd Squad Training Video #:

Always Be Ready

Howdy do, agents.

At Odd Squad, we live by--

You know what? Let's do this somewhere else.

[cheesy organ music]

Much better.

At Odd Squad, we live by a simple saying:

don't forget the mustard.

But when we're not talking about hotdogs,

we live by another saying: always be ready.

This is Agent Orchid.

And if I don't get the gadget she wants,

fast, she will be very upset.

[growling]

But I can always be ready, by predicting which gadget

she'll be most likely to ask for.

By using information I've collected,

called data.

As you can see,

the bar with the toastinator is the highest.

She's asked for it seven times this week.

The upside-downinator, the least,

she's only asked for it two times.

And the toothbrushinator, is somewhere in between.

At five times.

So, since she's asked for the toastinator

more than the others,

the most likely she'll ask for...

[mimics fanfare]

The toastinator!

There you are!

[Oswald] Welcome to Odd Squad, a guide to your gadgets.

Behold, the sandwichinator.

Inspired by Lord Sandwich, the fourth Earl of Sandwich.

[mimics proper English accent] Lord Sandwich!

Sandwich. Lord Sandwich!

Sandwich. Lord Sandwich!

Sandwich. Lord Sandwich!

Sandwich.

This has been a helpful guide to the sandwichinator.

Remember, knowledge is power.

Power is gadgets.

And gadgets is Lord Sandwich!
