03x06 - The Thrill of the Face/Raising the Bar

[bunniefuu]

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

The museum agent Ortho has been turned to stone.

This ancient artifact

contained a magical stone warrior

named the Pié de Guerrero.

[shouting in alarm]

Follow me!

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla and Oswald.

This is my favourite pizza place

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

We work for Odd Squad.

[Opal] The Thrill of the Face.

[van] Agents, you have an incoming call

from the Big O.

There you four are. Something very odd has happened

with Agent Ortho.

Uh, the same agent Ortho that took over for me

at the Museum of Natural Odd

or the Ortho that makes custom shoe inserts?

The first one. The second one is here with me.

♪

The museum agent Ortho has been turned to stone.

♪

But, Big O, the Museum of Natural Odd

is in New York City.

Why not just send the New York Odd Squad?

No one knows that museum

and its artifacts better than Oswald.

Good luck, agents.

Isn't this great, Oswald?

We're going back to your museum!

I'd really love to go,

especially since I left my favorite sweater there.

But I should probably stay here.

It is okay to admit fear, young Oswald.

Totally cool.

Guys, I'm not afraid.

-Then we shall go! -[Oswald gasping nervously]

♪

Look, this is where we met Oswald

for the first time.

Oh yeah, I remember that.

You were disguised as a giraffe.

I was dressed as a security guard.

Mm, must have been a dream I had.

The main room is this way.

♪

[Orla] It is so dark in here.

Let me get the lights.

[Omar] This place is creepy.

[Oswald humming]

[all screaming]

[Oswald screaming]

[scream dying off]

How did this even happen?

Perhaps Ortho grew so bored of sorting artifacts

he turned to stone.

It's much worse than that.

This ancient artifact contained

a magical stone warrior named the Pié de Guerrero.

He can turn people to stone.

Ortho must have dropped it.

We need to find the Pié de-reversinator gadget

so we can stop the stone warrior

and return Ortho back to normal.

Where do we find this object?

Follow me.

Odd artifacts get stored in these numbered boxes.

Box is the one we're looking for.

Uh, I don't see any numbered boxes.

All I see is a bunch of weird Ortho faces.

[Oswald] Oh no.

I remember Ortho mentioning

something about faces when we met.

Yeah, I'm not really a numbers guy.

More of a face guy.

A face guy...

Ortho replaced the numbers on the boxes

with photos of his face.

So, each face must stand for a different number.

He looks ridiculous with a beard and a moustache.

Why are there two faces on that box?

It must be a two-digit number,

like the number .

One face for the one, one face for the zero.

That box with only one photo on it

must be a single digit number, like three or eight.

Exactly!

And since I remember what's in every box,

I can figure out which box this is.

[Oswald humming quietly]

Ah! Antique Odd Squad horseshoe.

This is box seven.

So now we know that happy Ortho face

stands for box seven.

Follow-up question:

if this little, tiny artifact contained the stone warrior,

how come he's so big?

[stone warrior growling]

[screaming]

Run!

[growling]

Follow me!

[sighing happily]

What is this place?

My old office!

Pretty neat, huh?

My old desk.

My old lamp!

My old water cooler.

Oswald, the mission!

We have to cr*ck the Ortho face code

to find the Pié de-reversinator.

Right!

There are ten single digit numbers:

zero, one,

two, three, four,

five, six, seven,

eight and nine.

And we just figured out happy Ortho face

stands for the number seven.

We can keep track of what face

stands for what number using these.

[Oswald] Nice!

[Orla] But, that does not help us.

We are looking for box number

and there is no seven in the number .

To find box we need to figure out

which one of these Ortho faces represents one and three.

And the only way to do that is to get more boxes.

Good luck.

Are you not coming?

I'd love to, but you know,

the old Oswald-aroni gets turned into stone

I won't be able to tell you which box

goes with which number, just like I did with box seven.

Then it is settled.

The three of us shall go.

[whispering] That was close.

Wait, how do we get past the big, stone warrior?

I have an idea.

[Orla] I do not think this is going to work.

[Omar] Yes, it will. Just keep moving.

The boxes are right there.

Yes, just the one! Opal was turned to stone.

What?!

She'll be fine once we find box .

And who knows, maybe this is it.

It's not.

[both] Are you serious?

This is an ancient Odd Squad tall ship in a bottle.

This is box number .

So, that means sad face Ortho represents four

and moustache Ortho represents one.

Oh...

♪

[Oswald] Still no number .

[Orla] Wait...

The number has a one in it

and since we know that mustached Ortho

represents the number one

we can also put a mustached Ortho here.

[Omar] So, all we need to do is figure out

which Ortho face represents the number three.

Yeah, you guys need to go get more boxes.

We gotta be really quiet out there.

Or do we?

[Orla] You there, fine sir!

Perhaps you would like to try your luck

at winning a prize.

[stone warrior murmuring]

[Orla] All you have to do is throw the horseshoe

on that wooden stick.

It is harder than it looks.

Uh, first try.

I will be back, young Omar.

No time to explain.

Let us see what is inside this box.

Bad news, it isn't box .

Good news, I found my sweater.

How is that good news?

Well, I love my sweater.

Oswald!

And because I knew it was in box .

has two threes...

so that means the Ortho beard face

must represent the number three.

[Oswald] And there's a three in .

So, that means we can put the same face here.

We have figured out both numbers.

So, the box we're looking for has an Ortho mustached face

and an Ortho beard face.

Oh no...

I remember seeing that box.

'Tis a long journey.

How do you remember that?

I shined a light on it.

We need to go get it.

We? No.

I'd love to, but...

I've gotta stay here, and--

Oswald, I need you to work the Pié de-reversinator gadget.

I belong behind a desk.

I even have a twin brother

Guess where he sits?

[Opal] Check it out, Odd Squad Magazine.

It ranks all the departments

to see which one solves the most cases.

Uh-oh.

Why uh-oh?

You sometimes get competitive when it comes to OSMU.

And seeing as we're still a new department

and we don't have as many agents--

Whatever place we're in is fine.

A-ha! Here we are.

And we're ranked in...

Last place?!

Code red! We're going to code red!

[alarm blaring]

What's going on?

Opal read the Odd Squad magazine.

And we, the members of OSMU,

have solved the least amount of cases this month!

We should bury ourselves in a hole.

Maybe the graph is wrong.

Sadly, graphs don't lie.

Look.

The vertical line going up and down

shows how many cases we've solved.

And the horizontal line, the one that goes side to side,

shows the different Odd Squad precincts by color.

This Odd Squad here solved cases,

the tallest one.

with only cases solved.

Opal, Orla, I understand your frustration,

but we're a brand-new department with fewer agents--

We must right this wrong!

What are you gonna do?

Run around solving odd cases all day

to try to make the bar graph look better?

Missing buttons, tangled headphone cords,

squeaky doors...

do you group the easy cases with the hard ones?
