03x25 - Double O Trouble

[bunniefuu]

Coming up next on Odd Squad...

Every agent in Chicago has been turned into a paper doll.

Wait, what?

In order to solve this quickly, we need an extra set of hands.

When you multiply yourself,

the quality diminishes each time.

Oh, no.

My name is Agent Orla.

These are my partners. Oswald, Omar, and Osmerelda.

This is everything.

We've traveled the world, investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[heroic music]

♪

Huh?

♪

-[screaming] -[bicycle bells ringing]

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Double O Trouble.

There you four are!

Something very odd has happened in Chicago.

How can we help?

Odd Squad agents from all over the city

were having a picnic to celebrate the opening

of their th Tube Engines.

Then this happened.

Hello, Odd Squad,

my name is Arty Craft

and I love arts and crafts so much

that I turned every agent in Chicago into paper dolls.

Lucky they were all holding hands at the time.

And now that there are no more agents in the city,

I can spread art and craft oddness everywhere!

[maniacal laughter]

-[coughing] -[laughing]

Luckily, two agents managed to escape her evil ray

and activated their location tracking devices.

Your job is to connect with them

so they can help you track down Arty.

Since there are no Odd Squad agents left in the city,

I'll need two of you to park the van in downtown Chicago

and help people with the regular day to day oddness.

-I volunteer to-- -[speaking over each other]

The fairest way to decide is by drawing straws.

Ooh tough call.

These are all really nice straws.

But since I have to decide,

I pick Orla's.

Curly straw. Nice.

And Oswald's metal straw.

Can't argue with that.

Great drawing, and you saved the planet.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

[Van Computer] Now arriving in Chicago.

-[Omar] The Windy City. -[Osmerelda] The Second City.

[Oswald] The City in a Garden.

[Orla] Ugh, the city should decide on one name.

According to my homing beacon, the two Chicago agents

look like they're at the Wrigley building.

Then let us venture forth.

Osmerelda and I will join you soon.

There can't be that many people with odd problems.

Did you want to say "ugh"?

Oh or should we say it together?

Together.

[both] Ugh.

Excuse us.

Sorry.

Alright people, one at a time.

Huh...

Apparently the two agents are right here.

But I don't see them.

It sounds as though they're inside,

likely coming up with a plan to stop the craft villain.

Ah ha!

Hey, the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

I'm Oxford. This is Ocelyn.

Thanks for coming to help us.

It's not every day you lock yourself in a building

while on cantaloupe duty.

Cantaloupe duty?

This clock tower runs on a cantaloupe

and Odd Squad agents have been responsible for replacing it

once a week since it was built in .

Specifically, new Odd Squad agents.

It's our second day.

We would have used gadgets to escape,

but ours only do cantaloupe things.

Like this. Cantaloupe-inator!

What am I supposed to do with this?

I can make you cantaloupe balls with my cantaloupe ball-inator.

Wait, you weren't at the Odd Squad picnic

for the new tube engines opening?

No.

Oh, boy...

I'm not sure how to tell you this, but--

Every agent in Chicago has been turned into a paper doll.

[both] Wait, what?

A villain named Arty Craft is responsible

for this tomfoolery.

And we need your help finding her

-before she causes more oddness. -[ringing]

I have a feeling she caused more oddness.

Oh, hi, Odd Squad. Arty Craft here again.

I covered the Marina City Towers in tie dye, look!

And then I went and I zapped the Art Institute

and covered it with paper flowers.

And this is just the beginning!

[cackling]

Oxford, Ocelyn, any ideas?

We go back inside and hide.

Agreed. Arty Craft is way too smart.

That means she already figured out the Odd Squad tube system.

She's holding an Odd Squad tube map, look.

She must have stolen that map at the Odd Squad picnic.

And now she's striking tube entrances around Chicago.

To shut down the tubes for good.

Fine work, Oxford and Ocelyn. What do we do next?

We have no idea.

Yeah, we just started at Odd Squad.

Like, I only just found out there are

tube stations in Chicago.

What if Arty is striking some tube stations but not others?

You mean, following a pattern?

Exactly.

If we can figure out the pattern,

we can predict which tube station Arty will hit next.

Wow! You two are on fire today.

What other knowledge does the gray matter

in your brain contain?

Maybe we could use the number line

to see if there's a pattern to

the tube entrances she's striking?

Marina Towers and the Art Institute

are tube entrances one and four.

[Orla] And there are two empty spaces between one and four,

numbers two and three.

Maybe she's skipping by two spaces.

So, if we use the number line

to count two empty spaces after four,

five and six, it will take us to seven.

Tube entrance seven is the Brookfield Zoo.

Then let us venture forth.

Wait, shouldn't you maybe call Omar and Osmerelda

-to help instead? -No can do,

they're in the van helping people with odd problems.

Besides, you two are pros.

Onward, ho!

Minus this cantaloupe.

Quiet, please.

We can't understand if you all talk at once.

Especially if your head is a deep dish pizza.

Osmerelda and I will solve your odd problems one at a time.

This shouldn't take too long.

There are more people outside.

What?

Honestly, it's more like people.

But I didn't want to freak you out.

I have an idea.

Everybody get comfy.

Excuse us a second.

In order to solve this quickly

we need an extra set of hands.

We could ask that lady over there.

-Hello. -So weird.

I mean someone who knows about solve oddness like me,

which is why I'm going to use the multiply-inator on myself.

I still don't get it.

Multiplication is just groups of something.

So if I set the multiply-inator to two...

and then zap myself,

that's just one of me multiplied by two,

or one group of two, watch.

[both] Awesome.

Hey, Omar-double, why don't you go over there

and help the lady with the extra hands?

You got it, Omar.

This seems like a bad idea.

I remember during my gadget training that

when you multiply yourself the quality diminishes each time.

Like a stamp. Look.

The first time you stamp...

it looks great.

But when you keep stamping...

the quality fades.

That's kind of how a multiply-inator works.

That won't be a problem because I don't plan

on making anymore Omar-doubles.

One is plenty, see?

Oh!

Thanks, Odd Squad.

And the sooner we solve all these problems,

the sooner we get to go out and explore Chicago.

All right, who's next?

Brooklyn Zoo, tube entrance seven.

Ugh, it's freezing here.

Jacket-inator.

-Oh... -Wow.

No sign of Arty Craft yet.

Because you're in the wrong place.

I was just visiting the giant Ferris wheel at Navy Pier

and the villain you're looking for

covered me in colorful pom poms.

Navy Pier's tube entrance number nine.

You're probably wondering why I'm still wearing the pom poms.

-No. -Not really.

I don't think she's going to leave until we ask her.

Why have you not removed the pom poms from your person?

Because it's my birthday and it's kind of working for me.

[agents] Happy Birthday!

Thank you.

Now let's look at the number line

to see the tube entrances she hit.

Maybe the villain is doubling.

First, it was two spaces between the places she struck,

then it was four,

because the double of two is four.

Great idea, Ocelyn.

He heard me say maybe, right?

Doubling is indeed the pattern.

She will now double four to make eight.

So she would skip eight spaces,

, , , ,

, , , and to get to .

Tube entrance !

[both] That's the theater district.

[both] Let's go.

How's it going, Omar-double?

Great. I just helped someone with chair-itis.

Now I'm gonna zap this man's deep dish pizza head.

Thanks Odd Squad.

[both] Not a problem. Have a great day.

And Osmerelda thought this was going to be a bad idea.

Hey, Omars.

-Who are you? -You.

Kinda me.

I was feeling a bit overwhelmed,

so I used the multiply-inator on myself to get some help.

But the stamp quality thing.

Not sure what you're talking about.

Me neither.

Maybe we can ask one of the other Omar doubles.

[Omar-doubles babbling]

Oh, no.

Tube entrance .

Theater district.

No sign of Arty Craft here either.

Maybe she's done causing oddness

and we can enjoy some cantaloupe.

Or maybe we're in the wrong place.

Look!

But that's City Hall.

Tube entrance .

We must stop her.

Jackets off for faster running.

-Whoa. -Come on.

[screaming]

Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there!

Oh!

Odd Squad?

I thought I turned all of you into paper dolls.

-We're from the Mobile Unit. -Oh.

Then why don't your outfits match?

They're with the Mobile Unit.

We're new agents on cantaloupe duty.

Wonderful.

That means adding all four of you

to my Odd Squad paper doll collection

will be so much easier.

[both] Ahhh!

[zapping]

[Ocelyn & Oxford] Run!

[evil laughter]

Oh...

[frustrated groan]

Oh, man.

I should of had them hold hands before I zapped them.

Oh well, still going to laugh maniacally.

[maniacal laughter]

To be continued.

[patriotic music]

♪

[Oona]Welcome to the Lab: Part Two.

Howdy do, agents.

Here in the lab, we have lots of top secret information.

Most of the information we keep inside these two worms.

The others we keep inside this computer.

The computer is guarded by a password.

I forget the password a lot,

so I made a word problem

to help me remember the password.

"Hey Oona, it's me... Oona."

I'm hilarious.

"The password is less than the number of buttons on your shirt

"and more than the number of worms."

OK, let's break this down into steps.

The password is less than the number of buttons on my shirt.

I have one, two, three, four buttons.

So if we look at the number line,

less than the number four means smaller than four.

So it has to be one of these numbers.

But then it says that my password is greater

than the number of worms.

I have two worms.

Greater than means more than

so the password has to be a number more than two.

The only number that's less than four

and more than two is three, which must be my password.

Woo!

As a backup, I also made a keyboard

that is only the number three.

Woo!

There you are. Something very odd has happened.

Yes, I'm talking to you, with the wiggly tooth.

Hang in there.

I mean you, not the tooth.

Now take a look at this.

Odd Squad agents have got some pretty odd symptoms.

We need your help to find the problem,

then mix up the antidote

and give it to the agents

so they're healthy and happy again.

Go to pbskids.org to help us fight the odd.

Odd Squad needs you!

And now the rest of the story.

-[honking] -[Van Computer]Aww, come on,

you've gotta be kidding me.

It looks like you're the last person on our list.

So, what seems to be the problem?

I've been really unhappy lately.

Kinda like there's a giant cloud hanging over your head?

Exactly.

Not a problem. I just need to ask you

a few questions before I can--

Osmerelda, you were right.

Making a double of myself was a bad idea.

-Hey. -Ahh!

That's my double you're talking to.

Isn't she great?

No, you're great.

No, you're great.

No,you'regreat.

No,you'regreat.

No,you'regreat.

-No,you'regreat. -No,you'regreat.

Okay, can I talk to you for a second?

[Osmerelda-double] No,you'regreat.

Why did you double yourself?

Because you said it was a good idea.

You also said the sooner we solve all these cases,

the sooner we get to explore Chicago.

And all those things were true,

but then the stamp thing happened.

Wait, you made more than one double of yourself?

Not me.

My Omar-double made a double of himself,

then that one made a double of himself,

thenthatone made a double of himself,

then that one--

How many Omar-doubles are there?

That's the thing, the numbers grow really quickly

when you're dealing with multiplication. Look.

First, it was just me and my double.

Then my double multiplied himself by two,

which is one group of two.

Then he multiplied the two Omars by two,

which is two groups of two.

So, are you telling me there are four Omars?

No, because then he multiplied the four Omars by two

which is two groups of four.

Are you telling me there are eight Omars?

No. Because then he multiplied the eight Omars by two,

which is two groups of eight, which equals Omars.

Wait, are you telling me--

you know what, just cut to the chase.

How many Omars are there?

Including me, .

And I think your double is doing the same thing.

Oh, no. We need to fix this.

I have an idea, but first, we need to round up

all the doubles and bring them back here.

Doubles, run!

Wait!

Next time, we should whisper our plan.

Good call.

This is a grocery list.

[sighs]

You think we outran Arty Craft?

I think so.

We ran for over an hour,

then we took a bus, a taxi and a rickshaw.

That rickshaw driver was really nice.

-Bryan, right?

-Michael. -Wow.

He really looked like a Bryan.

We need to do something.

How about a snack?

I made these with my cantaloupe-inator.

Pretty neat, huh?

Oxford, we need to save the day.

Us? How?

We've only been working Odd Squad for two days.

And every Odd Squad agent in Chicago

has been turned into a paper doll,

including Orla and Oswald.

Wait, what about Omar and Osmerelda?

They're back in the van,

helping people with odd problems.

-I'm calling them right now. -Good idea.

Get experienced agents out here to solve this.

It's ringing.

Still ringing.

You sure you got the right number?

[Omar] Omar's house of friendship.

Omar, hi. It's Ocelyn and Oxford,

the two agents from Chicago.

Oh hey, so nice to meet you, but now's not a good time.

We're looking for our doubles.

Did I just hear "doubles"?

Yeah we used the multiply-inator

and now there's doubles of ourselves everywhere.

And then those doubles made doubles

and then allthosedoubles made doubles.

[Omar-double] Hey! I didn't double anyone.

I've just been here reading the paper,

but Icoulddouble myself

if that's what everyone else is doing.

[both] No!

Okay.

But I'll probably do it anyway.

[chuckling]

-We gotta go. -Wait, wait, we need help

catching Arty Craft.

Or do you?

[both] What?

You already know who the villain is

and you're having a tough time catching her.

Seems like you're doing everything right so far.

-How is that-- -No, no, no--

I found one!

Get back here, me!

I believe in you.

Now it's time for you to start believing in yourselves.

Wow.

That was really good.

Wow, that was really not good.

It's over, Oxford.

our first week on the job and we failed.

Maybe we should have those cantaloupe kebabs after all.

No.

I'm confused. What's going on?

Omar said they used the multiply-inator, right?

-Yeah. -I think Arty Craft

is using multiplication, or grouping, as her pattern.

Take a look at this.

Whoa! It's my first time using this thing.

It's kind of wild how it spins.

[clearing throat]

The first place she struck was tube entrance number one,

because when you multiply one by one, it's one,

-or one group of one. -But the second place she struck

was to entrance four.

Because she multiplied two by two,

or two groups of two, which equal four.

And the third place she struck was tube entrance nine.

She multiplied three by three,

or three groups of three, which equals nine.

And City Hall was that tube entrance .

is four groups of four.

The next spot will be the fifth place,

and five groups of five equals...

[both] Five, , , , .

Tube entrance .

Oh no, that's Millennium Park.

Where Omar and Osmerelda are parked.

We need to hurry.

That's all of them.

Now what?

I'm gonna set the multiply-inator to zero,

because any number multiplied by zero equals zero.

Here we go.

[both] Wait.

What is it?

Can we only say a few words before we disappear for good?

-Sure. -Of course.

I'd like to say, on behalf of all the Omars,

it's been a real pleasure being you.

Aww. Thanks.

And on behalf of all the Osmereldas,

we really like being you too.

That's so sweet.

[deep voice] And now, the doubles shall rise up.

We att*ck on three.

One, two...

I gotta say, I'm kind of proud of them for trying.

Agreed. They did help us solve a lot of our problems.

Yep. Nothing left to do now,

except to enjoy the sights of Chicago.

[expl*si*n]

[Van Computer] The van is under att*ck!

The van is under att*ck!

[both] Uh-oh.

Why is the door not opening?

[Van Computer] It has been sealed shut.

[screaming]

[cackling]

Now that the Mobile Unit is all gone,

I can create even more arts and craft oddness in the Windy City.

[cackling]

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

Oh, look... at the two little rookies.

Prepare to be arts and crafted.

[heroic music]

Look out!

[zapping]

Whoa!

[zapping]

Oh...

You guys are so quick. I'm impressed.

Thanks. I really appreciate you saying that.

Especially because this is our first week and we--

Ocelyn, keep your head in the game.

Right.

Arts and crafts time is over, Arty.

Oh, really?

And how exactly are the two of you going to stop me?

By using our melons.

And actual melons.

Cantaloupe-inator!

Not really sure what's happening here.

Cantaloupe ball-inator.

♪

[shouting]

No!

We did it!

We stopped her!

Yeah!

I can't get the cantaloupe balls off.

It's not fair.

We can help you with that.

If you agree to turn all the Odd Squad

agent paper dolls back to normal.

Ugh, fine.

Well, since I have these ones in my pocket,

I'll start with them.

[shouting wordlessly]

You'll never believe what happened.

We heard everything when

we were paper dolls in Arty's pocket.

Well done, agents.

-She called us agents. -I know, right?

Are we just about done here? 'Cause I've got

-a knitting workshop to get to. -Not quite.

Once you un-paper doll all the rest of the agents

we're going to make sure you clean up the mess you made

at all the tube entrances.

But not me.

It's still my birthday.

And I'm gonna run around the entire city of Chicago

and let everyone know about it.

Woo-hoo!

She looks great, doesn't she?

Some of my best work.

Thanks for your help Oxford and Ocelyn.

We couldn't have done it without you.

I'm certain we will hear

more brave adventures from the two of you,

adventures that do not involve cantaloupes.

[both] Thanks.

Let's go.

Bye.

[Osmerelda] Is anyone out there?

[Omar] We can't get out.

Coming.

To the van!

Yes!

Apologies for the delay.

There were a lot of streamers.

We're just glad you're here.

It's been a long day.

You can tell us all about it on the way back home.

Home? But we didn't even get a chance to walk around Chicago.

Yeah, we were really looking forward to it.

Orla, how much time do we have before we have to get back?

minutes. Give or take.

My watch is a sun dial.

But how are we supposed to see all of Chicago in minutes?

I know someone who can help.
