[bunniefuu]

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

There's a villain causing oddness on a train.

Car six was just filled with balloons.

It's a classic number pattern.

Odd Squad, Odd Squad! Stop right there!

If you don't figure this out the villain will get away!

♪

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla and Oswald.

This is an iguana wearing a sweater.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[all] Shields up!

[Opal] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Train of Thoughts.

♪

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

[Big O] There you four are.

Yeah, but where are you?

Over here, in the lab.

I wanted to mix things up.

-Now I'm over here. -[Oswald] Aw, man.

This is fun.

But not as fun as here.

As I was saying,

on to business!

Something very odd has happened.

There's a villain causing oddness on a train

that's crossing through North Dakota.

We'll head there right now, Big O.

And if you get a chance,

say hi to Stella and Griffin for me.

They're friends of mine who live there.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Go!

This is great.

An old-fashioned train mystery,

just like from my favourite book.

"Crime on the Shmumberland Express."

This collection of words interests me.

It should, it's about my hero, Detective Schmumbers.

She's got a ton of books,

like Crime at Schmumberdale High.

And the newest one, which I haven't even read yet,

Space Crime!

So, she sells mysteries.

And says cool things, like,

"Look at what the numbers say.

It's the Detective Schmumbers's way."

I even have an official outfit.

See?

[Omar] I've got a visual on the train.

♪

[Omar] We're flying over it right now.

[Opal] I can see it from here.

[Oswald] Hold her steady, lower!

-[Opal] Balance it. -[Oswald] Watch out, faster!

Easy there.

How will we get aboard a moving train?

[Opal] Easy.

♪

Who wants to go first?

I do!

♪

Van computer, take the rope up.

Odd Squad! Am I glad to see you.

Come, make yourselves comfortable.

But not too comfortable.

We understand you have

a villain onboard causing oddness.

Yes. Passenger car three was filled with toy blocks

and car six was just filled with balloons.

They're a mess. I mean, it's colorful, and...

wonderful.

-But still, they're a mess! -Don't fret.

We'll have this case solved in no time, because,

if you have a crime involving numbers

call Detective Schmumbers.

I thought you were with Odd Squad.

I am. We are. Sorry.

Look, here's the number line one to ten.

We actually have train cars.

That doesn't matter right now. Do you see the pattern?

[all] No.

It's a classic number pattern.

The first car hit was car three.

If you add three to that you get six,

which was the next car hit.

The villain is skip counting by three.

So, where will the villain go next?

[Oswald] All we need to do is add three more to six.

-Number nine. -[gasping]

Car number nine!

Onward, ho!

Wait! What about the mess in car three and six?

Opal and I call clean-up duty.

You'll thank me later.

Let's go catch the villain!

Onward, ho!

Ooh, that's fun to say.

♪

[Opal & Oswald] Odd Squad, Odd Squad!

Stop right there!

It seems someone on this train is causing oddness.

Someone who loves the number three.

That someone is...

Threezy Lousiey!

It's not me!

I'm going to my sister's rd birthday party

and I've been sitting here writing her a card.

-Three, actually. -[phone ringing]

Hello? Oh, my!

The villain just filled car with rubber duckies!

Or is it ducks?

Nah, duckies is cuter.

[gasping]

Which proves I didn't do it.

-My mistake. -His mistake.

[Oswald sighing]

[music playing through headphones]

These things are way too loud.

♪

[Opal & Omar] Whoa!

♪

Alright, I'll pop the ones on the left,

-you get the ones on the right. -[balloons popping]

Or, we could use the Balloon Removinator.

♪

[gadget whirring]

[passengers applauding]

-Much faster. -We'd better get back

-to Oswald and Orla. -Or...

We can swing by the gift shop to get a souvenir.

I hate to break the news, but...

there is no gift shop onboard.

What?! There's no gift shop?

I've never been on an odd case where I didn't get a souvenir.

Challenge accepted!

Did I issue a challenge?

I know how important souvenirs are to you,

so we're gonna find one,

gift shop or not, rain or shine!

♪

This makes no sense.

I agree.

How could Detective Schmumbers

learn how to fly a spaceship in five minutes?

I was talking about how the pattern makes no sense.

Train car number doesn't fit the pattern

of skip counting by three.

Must the pattern be a number pattern?

It's always a number pattern.

I've read every Schmumbers book in the series,

except for the one you're reading.

As Detective Schmumbers always says,

"To avoid any blunders,

Detective Schmumbers looks at the numbers."

Yes, but it is not always a number pattern.

Look, here's the number line again,

this time one to , just like the cars on the train.

So, I guess it did matter.

The villain showed up at car three,

then six, then .

They're not using a skip counting pattern,

the villain's using a doubling pattern.

What's a doubling pattern?

Well, when three is doubled you get six.

When six is doubled you get .

And when is doubled...

You get . So, the next train car

-the villain will strike is ? -[Oswald] Correct!

And as Detective Schmumbers would say,

"Wake from your slumber, chase that number."

[Orla & Oswald] Odd Squad, Odd Squad!

-Stop right there! -A-ha!

Double Danny!

Aah! Odd Squad...

-We know what you did. -Fine, I did it.

I took two bags of complimentary pretzels

instead of one. But I had to, I was so hungry.

-This isn't about the pretzels. -Well, it should be.

That's outrageous!

This is about your doubling, Double Danny.

We know what you did with train car three,

-six and . -I haven't done a thing.

I have two weddings to go to, so I took a double-long nap

-so I'd be well-rested. -[phone ringing]

Hello?

Oh, no, not again!

I missed my dentist appointment!

Oh, and the villain

just filled car with pineapples.

-[Oswald gasping] -[Orla & Oswald] What?!

Which proves I didn't do it!

Guess I was wrong again.

Alright, Double Danny,

hand over the extra pretzels.

♪

Any luck finding a train souvenir?

[Omar] No, just this napkin.

And it doesn't even have a train logo on it.

It has a stain that kind of looks like a train.

[tearfully] It's hopeless.

No, we just need a little help.

Is there a doctor onboard?

-Uh, I'm a doctor. -Great!

You're obviously very smart.

Do you know how to build a miniature train souvenir?

No, but my husband is a miniature train enthusiast.

♪

There's absolutely no pattern here.

The numbers don't make any sense.

The train's about to reach the station.

If you don't figure this out

[dramatically] the villain will get away!

Too much?

Oswald, in this book, Space Crime,

Detective Schmumbers seems to be following a shapes pattern,

not a numbers pattern. So, maybe--

Trust me, it's always about numbers.

As Detective Schmumbers always says,

"Schmumber, Schmumber, Schmumber,

number, number, number."

♪

Whoa!

It even has cars,

just like the real train. Well done!

That doesn't like the train we're on.

This one's multi-coloured,

like a rainbow.

♪

Nah, it doesn't have to be perfect.

Omar, we're getting you a perfect

Is there a painter onboard?

Oh, yes! I also happen to be taking

art classes at the local community center.

♪

How long until the train stops?

[train horn honking]

I'd say not long.

I can't figure it out.

I'll never be as good as Detective Schmumbers.

Oswald, Orla! We have great news.

You guys found the villain?

No, I got a souvenir!

[Opal] It's an exact replica of the train,

painted and everything.

Each train car is painted a different colour

-on the outside. -Whoa, whoa,

wait one tiny little notch on the sundial.

Perhaps the villain is working on a colour pattern!

Passenger car three is black,

car six is white,

car , black,

car , white.

I can't believe it.

It is a colour pattern!

The repeating pattern is black, white,

black, white.

And if white was the last car hit

the next car the villain will strike is black.

And there's only one black car left,

-the last one on the train! -Quickly, to passenger car !

♪

[all] Odd Squad, Odd Squad!

Stop right there!

Rainbow Robin.

Odd Squad...

Why did you hit the black and white cars,

-Rainbow Robin? -Because those colours ruined

a perfectly beautiful rainbow train,

so I filled it with colourful oddness.

Well, luckily, Omar and Opal cleaned it all up.

Actually, we didn't know more cars got hit

because we got sidetracked with the whole souvenir thing.

But we'll clean it all up, won't we Rainbow Robin?

Fine.

♪

You were right, Orla.

There's more than just number patterns.

You're the real Detective Schmumbers.

Have my monocle.

Oswald, what I've learned from reading your books

is that even Detective Schmumbers makes mistakes,

-but she never gives up. -Thank you, Orla.

This monocle is actually prescription,

so I would've had to go back to the eye doctor

-to get a new one. -It suits you well,

-young Oswald. -Thanks, partner.

And as your favourite detective always says,

"If you need to call Detective Schmumbers--"

"Always bring your cucumbers!"

"Don't forget to stack the numbers."

She has a lot of catchphrases.

Yeah, she does.

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.

Okay, red, got it.

Okay...

Okay. Re-- ugh, no.

Red. Ugh, the lights are flashing too fast!

[van 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.
