03x26 - Can You Wrangle It?/Ahead of the Times

[bunniefuu]

-Coming up next on Odd Squad. -The X's make sure all

Odd Squad headquarters are following the rules.

[all] We totally need our creature licenses.

I've let a very hungry grizzlegorp loose.

You have to catch it before it completely tears the van apart.

[Omar] You need to hurry.

My name is Agent Orla.

These are my partners: Oswald, Omar and Osmerelda.

And this is two peas and a rod.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[Orla] Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.

[Little O] Can You Wrangle It?

[laid-back music]

Bananas, then volleyball, then more bananas,

and that's pretty much my early morning routine.

Oh, now I understand why it's three hours long.

And now, my mid-morning routine.

Whoa.

Whoa!

What's going on in here?

We're replacing the energy-cheese pyramid.

-Check it out. -Careful!

If you drop the pyramid, it will cause a giant cheese expl*si*n.

Uh, why do we have something in our van

that can cause an expl*si*n?

Without it, our van can't fly.

Huh.

And...

It's installed.

[Van Computer] Installation complete.

Oh, yes.

I can already smell that cheesy aroma.

-[long sniffing] -That's the stuff.

Fermented dairy.

Huh. I don't smell it.

You gotta take a way deeper breath than that.

Here, try with us.

[deep sniffing]

-[Van Computer]Agents-- -[screaming]

[Van Computer]You have an incoming call from the Little O.

[pneumatic hissing.

There you four are.

♪

Did... something very odd happened?

No, I'm calling to tell you that now that's a Big O's in space,

the X's are double checking everything.

Who are the X's?

The X's make sure all Odd Squad headquarters

are following the rules,

so an X named Xante is coming by

to certify that you all have your van safety licenses.

[squad] Got them.

Your gadget licenses?

[squad] Got them.

Your creature handling licenses?

[Omar and Osmerelda] Got them.

[Oswald and Orla] Don't got them.

Little O, are they necessary?

Agreed. I think we've proven

our skills in handling creatures, c'mon.

♪

-[splattering] -Ah!

[Oswald] Ew.

Puh!

-[Oswald gasping] -Orla!

[monstrous roar]

[zapping]

[yelling]

[Oswald and Orla] We totally need our creature licenses.

And right away, or else the X will kick you two

-out of the mobile unit. -Luckily, I know a creature guy.

That's a guy who knows about creatures,

not a creature who is a guy.

[whispering] Very different.

-Hi! -[screaming]

My name is Osemite, and I came over

as soon as I heard the news.

Oswald and Orla, Osemite will give you a test,

and then you'll get your creature handling licenses.

But isn't the X already on her way?

-Absolutely. -Well,

what if Osmerelda and I, you know,

give her a tour of the van to stall her?

I like it.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

♪

Care for a snack before we start?

You keep snacks in there?

Snacks for me, snacks for the creatures.

Wait-- other way?

If we could just begin the test.

Of course. I've let a very hungry grizzlegorp loose.

You have to catch it before it completely tears the van apart.

But, Omar and Osmerelda are showing the X

around the van as we speak.

Better get to it then.

Here's what you need to know about the creature.

And here's what you need to catch it in.

Good luck!

-[intense rustling] -Hurry!

Sounds like the grizzlegorp's already started on breakfast.

OK, So what do we know?

Huh. The creature eats triangles.

Triangles are shapes with , , sides

and , , angles.

And we know there are a lot of rooms in the van with triangles.

-[badge-phone ringing] -Hm.

Oswald speaking, former library-museum person,

soon-to-be creature expert.

If you're an expert, then why is another

creature loose in the van?

Osemite let a grizzlegorp out as part of a test.

Some of my best work.

Where are you right now?

On the nd floor.

-Already? -Yes,

the X is a very fast walker.

I've seen all the doors on this floor.

Let's keep moving.

You need to hurry.

[sighing]

This makes no sense.

There were no triangle rooms on the nd floor,

so why would a creature who loves triangles be there?

[gasps]

The grilled cheese room!

But cheese of the grill is square shaped.

Look.

Look closer.

[Oswald and Orla] Triangles!

It is in here.

Prepare thyself.

[tense music]

-[kazoo-like babbling] -[yelling]

Hey, grizzlegorp!

[zapping and screeching]

-Yes! -We got it!

♪

Creature successfully captured.

Amazing. And the other one?

What?

I'm pretty sure I told you about the wriggler.

Huh. Guess I didn't.

Anyhow,

there's a second creature loose in the van,

but this one is different.

-[metallic rattling] -Whoa.

But also very hungry.

It says right here that a wriggler eats squares...

[clicking and beeping]

which is a shape with equal sides,

and right angles.

Let us split up and collect everything

square-shaped in the van, and bring them back here.

Great idea. That way the wriggler

will have no choice but to come to us.

A little later.

Now we wait.

[crunching]

Ugh. Wrong pouch again!

It's actually not that bad.

[crunching]

[badge-phone ringing]

I am Orla.

There's another creature loose in the van.

[gurgling]

-What was that? -Uh...

He said here's another feature useful to the van.

Like... this light.

-Super bright. -[nervous laughing]

We're on the th floor and we managed to stall the X

as long as possible.

We just have the main floor left to show,

and we'll finish the tour by taking the van

in the sky for a fly.

So, hurry.

-[sighing] -This doesn't make any sense.

Why is the creature on the th floor?

We've got all the square-shapes thingys right here.

Let us check the th floor.

The balloon room, pudding room,

fuzzy dice room--

fuzzy dice, that is it!

But fuzzy dice aren't square.

Nay, but they are cubes,

and a cube is a D shape made up of , ,

, , , squares.

[Oswald and Orla] To the fuzzy dice room!

Here we go.

[gurgling and screaming]

Push the button!

[zapping and panicked gurgling]

Woohoo!

-Nice! -[screaming]

Let me guess you're going to ask us to catch

a third creature you let loose in the van.

No.

I'm going to beg you!

I accidentally let lose a wrigglegorp in the van.

-[glass shattering] -Whoa.

The wrigglegorp eats both triangles and squares.

You need to hurry!

Huh.

Good luck.

All right, new plan.

We've already gathered all the squares in the van.

Now, let us collect the triangles and cubes as well

-and add them to our pile. -Good idea.

That covers everything the creature eats. Let's go.

A little even more later.

And, there.

every triangle, square and cube from the van is here.

And now, we just wait for the creature.

Oh, you know what?

This pile looks kinda like a giant pyramid.

Look!

It's a D shape made up of , , , triangles

and square.

A pyramid would be the ultimate shape

for the wrigglegorp to go after,

since it has both triangles and a square.

So, why isn't the creature here?

Perhaps there was another pyramid shape

in the van we are not thinking of.

-[gasps] -The energy pyramid!

♪

[Omar] Isn't this great?

Flying isn't just for birds, you know.

Check it out. You can see the entire city from up here.

[Osmerelda] That's my dentist's office.

What is that thing, and what is it doing?

[Van Computer] Energy pyramid removed.

Great, I hereby certify that the Odd Squad Mobile Unit

How to Repair an Oonabot.

Howdee-doo, agents.

Just like Oscar has Oscarbots,

I have Oonabots!

[mechanical whirring]

But sometimes these robots don't work properly.

For instance, when this robot opens her mouth,

she sounds like a busy cafeteria.

-plates clinking and chatter]

[mechanical whirring]

Let's have a looksee at what might be wrong.

[mechanical whirring]

[pneumatic hissing]

Aha, there's the problem.

The trapezoid circuit board is fried.

A trapezoid is a sided shape.

, , , --

that has one pair of straight sides.

And now I need to replace it.

Hm. No trapezoids.

but that's okay, because I can combine shapes!

Like this square and these triangles.

Or triangles.

Or small rectangles and triangles!

No cafeteria noise, good as new!

But what happens when one of your Oonabots

become smarter than you, takes over your life,

while the actual real Oona is out getting lunch?

Uh, what's going on in here?

There you are! Something very odd has happened.

Yes, I'm talking to you, with a keen eye for detail.

Nice catch.

Now take a look at this.

[Little O] Sector is a very odd place.

Let's explore it together!

Go to pbskids.org to get started.

Odd Squad needs you!

[Little O] Ahead of the Times.

Odd Squad Book of World Records, here we come.

[Van Computer]Agents, you have an incoming call

from the Little O.

[all yelling]

-[Osmerelda screams] -[clattering]

Ugh.

[Little O] There you four are.

Wait, there's only three of you.

Omar's visiting the eye doctor.

Maybe you're eating too many carrots?

Anyway, how can we help?

Something very odd has happened.

The villain Puppy Master has been spotted

on Prince Edward Island, also known as PEI.

I'm sending you because PEI doesn't have an Odd Squad.

On the plus side, they do have a potato museum.

My friend Olaf talks about the museum all the time.

Apparently they have a potato made of solid gold.

Sadly, you don't have time to visit.

My guess is Puppy Master plans to turn everyone into puppies.

That's kind of her thing.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

No matter what oddness Puppy Master is up to,

we shall stop it.

Actually, you guys don't stop it.

What do you mean we don't stop it?

Well, that's what it says in my Ahead of the Times newspaper.

[squad] What?

Well, a normal newspaper tells you what's already happened,

but, the Ahead of the Times newspaper

tells you what's going to happen before it actually happens.

And I'm here to tell you that Puppy Master

turns everyone into puppies, including the three of you.

[gasping]

We're going to be puppies forever.

Excuse us a minute.

Puppy Master has not turned anyone into puppies yet,

which means we still have time to stop her.

Time! How much time do we have before everyone is a puppy?

Wait.

There's a clock in the background of this photo!

It could be a clue.

What time does that say?

I do not use clocks.

I prefer my sundial.

It is waterproof.

How have I never noticed that?

I'll show you how to tell time.

[Osmerelda] Clocks are numbered to ,

which represent the hours.

The little hand, or the hour hand,

points to what hour it is.

In the newspaper, it's pointing to the .

And the big hand, or the minute hand,

tells us how much of the hour has passed.

It starts at the top of the clock on the ,

and moves around as the hour passes.

[Osmerelda] Because the minute hand is pointing to the ,

we know it's the start of the hour.

So, the clock in this photo reads exactly : o'clock.

That means...

the Puppy Master will strike at : o'clock tonight!

Right around dinner time.

There must be another clue.

A-ha! The Puppy Master is gonna eat pancakes

at the Pancake Palace.

Pancakes are a breakfast food.

This photo must have been taken this morning,

which does not help us.

That's too bad.

They serve a stack of pancakes

and each one is stuffed with butter and maple syrup.

Look!

It's a picture of the Puppy Master

waiting in line for PEI's Talent Bonanza.

-[bell ringing] -And that starts now,

at o'clock!

Case solved. Let us go stop her.

Wait, since you're going to catch the Puppy Master,

can I go check out the Potato Museum?

[Orla and Osmerelda] Sure?

Yes!

Ah, sorry. We're completely sold out.

I see plenty of empty seats inside.

I only sell eight tickets per show.

It's weird, but I can't let you in.

Unless you happen to be magicians.

The magician I hired was rehearsing

her disappearing act this afternoon,

and I haven't seen her since.

Well, you're in luck because we are magicians.

I think you're makin' that up.

Well then, how to explain this coin behind my assistant's ear?

Ouch.

You're on in five.

Hmm.

Oh! Welcome to the world famous Potato Museum.

Some say potato, some say po-tah-to.

Who told you about that?

Here is a photo of Puppy Master winning

a high score at the Prince Edward Bowling Alley.

And lo, a clock in the photo!

Sadly, that clock only has one hand.

It must be broken.

It's not broken.

The hour hand is just hiding behind the minute hand.

They're pointing at the same spot.

Here, watch this.

[Osmerelda] There are minutes on a clock.

Each of these little tick marks represents one minute. See?

One minute, minutes, minutes, minutes,

minutes--

Please tell me there is a shortcut.

Yes, every big number represents minutes.

Oh, so we can use those to count by fives.

, , , , .

Then we can count the individual minutes again.

, !

It is minutes.

Correct! The clock reads: :.

But why is the hour hand halfway between the and the ?

It's because it's on its way to the .

So, if we can get to the bowling alley before :,

we can stop the Puppy Master before

she turns us into puppies at o'clock.

Onward ho!

Before I show you the golden potato,

I need you to sign this.

This is a waiver.

Looking at the golden potato comes with risks.

What kind of risks?

The golden potato will look deep into your soul,

and speak truths no one has ever spoken to you.

If you are not ready to hear those truths,

I advise you to turn back.

Did Olaf not mention all this?

Um, mainly he just said potato.

You want to put these on.

But how do we know if this photo was taken at

o'clock this morning or o'clock tonight?

It has no way of telling you whether it's morning or night.

o'clock in the morning and o'clock at night

will be exactly the same, see?

But look, Puppy Master's wearing bowling shoes,

which means she went there after she won her bowling trophy!
