03x10 - Slow Your Roll

[bunniefuu]

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

Our van has been taken over by a villain

-and we can't stop it! -It's headed straight

for the Lake of Goo.

We need to save the van.

I don't think that's gonna hold.

You need to get out there!

[maniacal laughter]

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla and Oswald.

This is us upside down.

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.

[Opal] Slow Your Roll.

[triumphant instrumental]

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

There you four are. Something very,

very, very odd is happening.

[both] Your van is being taken over by a villain.

This is Orana and this is Oliver,

two of my best agents on the ground here in Australia.

They called me here because there's been a problem

at Parkes Observatory,

which is the main Odd Squad communication's centre.

We've noticed some signal interference

with your mobile unit van.

According to my projections,

you're about to lose control of it now.

[van computer] The agents are right!

I am being taken over.

By me!

♪

We have no clue who you are.

You can call me...

The Shadow.

Anyway, I have full control of your van.

Watch this.

[tapping keyboard]

[microwave beeping]

I just opened your microwave.

We can just shut the door.

It's not about the microwave!

My real plan is to destroy your van.

-[all] What?! -It's headed straight

for the Lake of Goo. Have a look.

[beeping]

Once the van drives into it,

it will get into the engine

and all over the seats.

And no car wash will ever get it clean,

even the deluxe gold option that comes with a little,

tiny air freshener that looks like a tree.

How did you get control of our van?

[mascot] Free oil change!

Free oil change!

Come on in, come on in!

Opal, Opal, Opal,

so predictable.

Woohoo! Free oil change!

♪

[The Shadow] Once I was under your vehicle,

I reprogrammed the van computer.

[cackling]

♪

I'm certain the Big O and her team

are already working on a solution.

Yeah, it's not going well.

Unfortunately, it looks like

it's the end of the road for the van.

Oliver wasn't even trying to make a pun.

-You need to get out of there! -Game over, OSMU.

I'll give you a moment

to say goodbye to your precious van.

[laughing maniacally]

Now, I'm gonna check my emails.

We need to come up with a plan.

We put on our jetpacks and leave.

I've got my favourite souvenirs.

I've got my favourite books. Let's go.

Guys, wait!

Wait!

We can't give up the van.

It's got too many memories. Look.

We marked all our heights on this door frame.

Opal, we only have four lines

because we haven't been in the van long enough

for any of us to get taller.

Which is why we shouldn't leave.

We need to add more lines.

I just need to reprogram the computer

in the main control room to save the van.

Hold on, that's way down in the lower floors of the van.

It will take way too long to get there.

Unless we figure out a way to slow the van down

-to buy Opal some time. -I did spot a town on the map

the villain showed us. There might be people there

-who could help. -Sounds like a plan.

I'll make my way down to the main control room.

Mm, this is a bad idea...

Come on, Oswald, we at least owe it to ourselves

to try Opal's plan.

Fine. But if we run out of time

Orla needs to convince her to get out of the van.

Why me?

You left Odd Squad ruins

after living there for years.

You can show Opal how it's done.

I left because it was a pile of rubble.

Either way, I believe in you.

-Bye, Orla! -Good luck.

♪

Here it is, the first door we need to get through

to reach the main control room.

[beeping]

Why isn't the door opening?

[The Shadow] Your old codes don't work anymore.

Isn't that right, Brutus?

-You betcha, boss. -Where's your mask?

Aw, man!

I'll just close my left eye.

It makes my whole face look different.

It's too late now!

Can I still tell them about the new

-code system I programmed? -[whispering] Quickly.

They're in the form of word problems

and if that wasn't hard enough,

I don't even tell you what operation to use.

Don't tell them too many clues!

I didn't. A clue would have been if I said

an operation is either addition, subtraction--

I'm shutting off the camera.

Opal, you heard the strange boy and his masked friend,

the van cannot be saved. It is time to go.

No, we can do this. Omar and Oswald

are buying us more time right now.

[Oswald screaming]

Whew!

You know what these jetpacks need?

A parachute for a better landing.

Welcome to Dirtpile City.

Um...

What exactly do you sell here?

Dirt!

We also sell Cobb salad wraps, but only if you buy dirt first.

-You in? -Yes!

No! Our van has been taken over by a villain

and we can't stop it!

It's heading right down this road,

straight for the Lake of Goo

and we need to find a way to slow it down.

I'd really love to help, but...

my brother Dave is stuck again.

Dave, for the last time,

moving on dirt is way harder than moving on a flat surface.

Because of friction!

Yes!

Also, what's friction?

When two surfaces rub against each other

you create friction.

And a surface covered in dirt

is rougher than a flat, smooth road.

And our van's wheels rubbing against the rough dirt

will create more friction which will slow it down!

Yes! Donna, how much for some dirt?

No one's ever asked me that before!

[Opal] Alright, here we go.

[beeping]

[Brutus] Word problemo numero uno.

[clearing throat]

If Marty Marmalade has seven jars of marmalade

and Jamie Jam has three jars of jam,

how many jars are there altogether?

-[gadget beeping] -Let's create an equation

with the information we have so far.

Marty has seven jars of marmalade.

Jamie Jam has three jars of jam.

[Orla] And the operation would go here.

But is the operation addition or subtraction?

We can use keywords to help us, like clues.

Brutus said, "How many jars are there altogether?"

Altogether means you are combining things

or adding them. Addition!

If we add three to seven it equals

eight, nine, ten.

The answer is ten!

We did it!

[door chiming melodiously]

[phone ringing]

I am Orla.

We figured out a way to slow down the van!

We bought a bunch of dirt and got free Cobb salad wraps.

But the wraps aren't as important as the dirt.

Here comes the van!

♪

I can feel it!

It's working!

The van is slowing down!

Yeah! Woohoo!

I don't think that's gonna hold.

Oh, no.

♪

-No! -Oh, no!

We're moving fast again.

[Omar] Sorry, Opal.

The dirt didn't slow the van down enough.

No refunds.

-Wait, what? -Hey, no!

[cackling]

It's over.

Look how close you are to the Lake of Goo.

[beeping]

Actually, you're further than I thought.

Maybe I shouldn't have told you my plan

until you were closer to the lake.

We got through one door

and we'll get through the others.

The first door is easy,

the other problems are way harder.

-I've got my mask on. -Why?

They've already seen you.

Sure, but they still don't know

that my full name is Brutus James--

Don't tell them your full name!

[static crackling]

I've discussed the situation with Oswald.

It is time to leave, Opal.

We can't!

Being in this van is the first time I felt like

I've been a part of something bigger.

Solving oddness all around the world,

getting to hang out with you...

Okay, new plan. You need to convince Opal and Orla

to get out of there before it's too late.

try to find another way to slow down the van.

-Can you sign our guestbook? -Sorry, gotta run.

We really gotta go.

There!

Here's the next door to get through

to reach the main control room.

[Brutus] If Kooky the Clown has ten clown wigs

and four of them were taken away

by the evil Odd Squad Mobile Unit,

how many wigs would she have left?

Let us begin with an equation

and fill it with the knowledge we know.

[gadget beeping]

Kooky the Clown had ten wigs

and four of them were taken away.

-How many were left? -Taken away and were left

are keywords for subtraction.

So, ten wigs minus four.

[Opal] Which looks like this...

[Orla] And that leaves ten, nine, eight, seven, six wigs!

Six wigs were left.

So, six should open this door.

Nice!

If Opal wants to do this the hard way

we'll do this the hard way. Brutus, activate back-up plan.

Back... Up... Plan...

Period. Enter.

[The Shadow cackling]

My evil assistant here just released the creature

from your creature containment room.

Have a look.

That should make things trickier.

Fear not, for I have wrestled alligators and crocodiles.

Often on the same day.

Follow me!

-Omar, what are you doing here? -Looking for the two of you!

Have you spotted the creature?

There's a creature in the van?!

Yeah, but it's fine.

We only need to get through one more door

to reach the main control room and then we get our van back.

Opal, we're getting way too close

It's time to give up.

But we're the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

I'd love to explain,

but we're running from a creature. Bye!

[Oswald screaming]

This thing definitely needs a parachute

Hello?

-Anyone there? -Hi there!

Didn't I just meet you a second ago?

Oh, you must mean Donna, my twin sister in Dirtpile City.

I'm Deborah, from Mudpile City.

Oh... Let me guess, you sell mud?

No. We sell Cobb salad wraps.

But if you buy one you get free mud.

Derek! Show this guy our wraps.

♪

It might be a minute, he's stuck.

Of course he is!

Mud creates even more friction

than dirt because it is stickier.

It'll slow down the van's wheels even more than dirt!

You wanna buy a wrap or not?

Yes.

And go heavy on the mud.

[The Shadow] What is it with these agents?

Give up already! I have an eye doctor appointment

We can't give up. We're so close

Agreed.

Now how do we take back control of our van?

This is the main computer.

We just need to figure out

the last word problem and then...

There's no time!

Oswald, how'd you get here so fast?

I used the turbo thruster on this thing.

Honestly, it did not go so well with the Cobb salad wrap I ate.

-[Omar, Opal & Orla] Ew... -Now let's get out of here

before we drive into the Lake of Goo!

But this van has so many great memories.

[emotional instrumental]

Stop.

I know what you're trying to do.

I'm not gonna fall for it.

It's over.

It's time to leave the van behind.

-Hold on. -Wait.

Guys, I know how hard it is

to leave a place you really love behind,

but I'm here to tell you it's possible.

When I left the Museum of Natural Odd

I was really sad.

But then, I got here,

and found new friends and started having fun!

And the van...

it became like a new home to me.

You're right, Oswald. We should--

Stay.

I think we should stay.

[cheering]

Young Oswald, can you figure out

a way to slow the van down again?

I could barely slow down my own jetpack.

This thing really needs a parachute

-to slow down the landing. -Oswald, you're a genius!

Parachutes use air resistance.

Wind acts as a force to slow down the parachute.

That's a type of friction!

Parachutinator!

[Oswald, Omar & Opal] Yes!

Opal, you work on the code.

We're gonna try to slow down the van.

Come on!

Look where you are.

Say goodbye to your van, Opal.

No! I just need to solve this last word problem.

Impossible! And I'm gonna sit here

Hey boss, I know how important

that eye doctor appointment was to you,

so I brought her here to see you.

You're not supposed to bring people here.

Uh, who is that kid next to all those cheese wheels?

"in all," or, "have left"?

I don't know if it's addition, subtraction,

or multiplication!

-[phone ringing] -Gopher Opal.

We zapped parachutes onto the back of the van

to help slow it down!

I need you to slow it down more.

The Parachutinator can only zap four parachutes.

[Oswald] She's right!

We divided them into two equal groups

and put two parachutes on each side!

Wait, did you say you divided

the parachutes into two equal groups?

Division is another operation!

Why are we talking about math?!

I can use division to solve this last word problem,

take control of the van and hit the brakes. Bye!

[screaming]

I hope she does it quickly!

Back inside, hurry!

♪

I need to start with an equation

using the symbol for division.

I know Mr. Lightning and Noisemaker

stole ten gadgets

and I know the two of them want to share the gadgets.

That means dividing ten into two equal groups,

ten divided by two.

And I could divide them out like I'm dealing cards.

One gadget in this group,

one gadget in this group,

one in this, one in this,

and until they're divided equally

into two groups of...

One, two, three, four, five.

The answer is five!

Opal has no idea who she's dealing with.

I mean, technically she does since the two of you--

Not in front of my eye doctor.

Any of you recognize her?

-No. -I do not.

Opal?

I...

I don't think so.

Well, we better figure it out.

I don't think that's the end of her.

Bad news, Big O, it's gonna need new shocks,

new brakes and a whole new transmission.
