03x13 - Mr. Unpredictable/Down the Tubes

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad...

I'm Mr. Unpredictable!

Orla and I can go undercover to learn more about him!

Omar and I will solve this before you even get there!

[Opal] I so wanna defeat this guy!

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners Omar, Orla, and Oswald.

This is something I loved and set free.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird,

and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[shouting]



[alarms blaring]

[cheering]



[all] Shields up!



[Opal] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad!

[Big O] Mr. Unpredictable.

[Big O] Agents, something very odd has happened.

And I'll give a free juicebox to whoever

can tell me what it is.

-Invisible butterflies! -Candy monsters!

-World upside-down! -Something to do

-with corn chowder. -No.

A villain named Mr. Unpredictable

is striking houses on Beantown Street

in Boston, Massachusetts.

-I win! -[celebratory noisemakers]

She always wins this game.

How come I've never heard of this villain before?

Because Mr. Unpredictable just graduated

from the Villain Academy.

He sent us a video.

Buckle up. It's a weird one.

Hey-hey, OSMU. I'm Mr. Unpredictable!

I'm not like those other BORING,

predictable villains. I have NO pattern!

And I will outsmart you.

[cackles]

[static]

Nobody's smarter than us!

-We are going to solve this. -[Big O] Good luck!

And don't let the bedbugs bite!

That last part was just general advice.

This guy must have a pattern!

A series of things that repeat.

How're we gonna figure out a pattern of a guy

-we know nothing about? -Well, we do know

he was recently a student at Villain University.

Orla and I can go there undercover to learn about him!

I predict

that Omar and I will solve this before you even get there!

Because Mr. Unpredictable is sooo predictable.

You're gonna get super weird

and competitive about this, aren't you?

Who, me? Pshhhh.

Yeah, probably.

[Opal] # Beantown Street! That's the one he hit.

We can use a hundreds chart to figure out his pattern.

[beep]

[Omar] Big O said there are houses on this street.

[Opal] Good idea, but, I solved it!

-How? -First he hit house number one.

Next, he'll hit house number two, then three, then four.

Don't you see? He's pretending to be clever.

But we're clever-er!

We're clever-er-er-er-er-er-er-er--

Thanks. House number two is that way.

[triumphant music]

[Oswald] Remember the plan.

Tour the university,

and sneakily slip in questions about Mr. Unpredictable.

Ah, yes. Undercover, What a thrill.

Hey-hey! You Jake?

Yes! We called about the tour!

Right on! I'm Tessa Twosie.

I'm in my second year here at Villain U.

...what kind of villains are you guys?

Yeah, we're still trying to figure that out.

Hence why we are here for the tour.

Cool. Well then, this way.

[nervous chuckle]

Please!

Be way less obvious!

[Opal] I'm sure Mr. Unpredictable

will be striking in three...

two... one!

Odd Squad! Odd Squad!

[Opal] What'd I tell ya? # Beantown Street.

Uh, actually, I live at Beantown Street,

which Mr. Unpredictable just covered in whipped cream!

Then I saw you guys, so I ran to tell ya.

Oh, and, um, he wanted me to give you this...

can of candy corn.

Uh, I gotta go.

-[horn honks] -[both exclaim]

[Mr. Unpredictable] Told you!

You can't catch Mr. Unpredictable!

Woo-hoo! I'm a snake!

We'll catch you! Every villain has a pattern!

And we will find yours!

I can't believe I'm talking to a toy snake!

Maybe a hundreds chart can help us track the pattern.

No need. I just solved it.

He started at Beantown Street.

Then, went to Beantown Street.

So, he's adding two. Look!

[beeping]

[Opal] One plus two is three!

So, if he just hit house three,

and he's gonna add two to it...

[Opal] Three plus two equals...

- Beantown Street! -[beeping]

Let's go!

We have a lot of cool activities here at Villain U.

Evil baseball, evil cheerleading.

And I love our evil comedy troupe, the Bwahahas.

[Oswald] Hmm.

This student looks interesting.

What can you tell us about him?

That's Mr. Unpredictable.

We used to be on the evil ultimate frisbee team together,

But we got into an argument.

That's why I'm not in the picture.

What happened?

He wanted to borrow my sneaker to make soup in it.

So I said, "Maybe use a bowl instead?"

And he flipped out. He said,

[deep voice] "That's it, Tessa Twosie!

I will never, ever do anything with a two in it again!"

[quietly] That does not help with our case.

What case?

The case of...

whether or not we should attend the Villain University!

This way.

[quietly] I'm wonderful at undercover.

[Opal] He'll be here any minute. I'm positive.

Uhhh...I think he went to # Beantown Street.

What? Why?

Chunky guacamole!

This doesn't make any sense!

[Omar] Uh... why are we having popcorn?

[both] What?!

[countdown beeping]

I have a feeling this movie's starring Mr. Unpredictable.

[mocking] Awww. Looks like OSMU was wrong again.

Too late, too slow, two cabbages!

And now I'm coming at you in the first ever

black and white D movie to say you're gonna-- lose!

-[both] Ahh! -And I'm gonna WINNN!

[both exclaim]

OK! We've seen enough!

Hundreds chart, or will you just say,

"I don't need it, I already solved the case!"

The second one. Let's look at the numbers he hit so far.

-[beeping] -One, then three, then four.

Well, what happens when you add one plus three?

That equals four. And then he went to house number four!

So that's his pattern!

He adds up the last two addresses he hit,

and then hits that house next.

OK. So the last two houses he hit were three and four.

[Opal] And three plus four equals...

Seven! He's heading to number seven!

[Tessa] Hey, you guys!

These two are taking a tour of Villain U.

Hey! I'm Simon Sixer. I'm majoring in

doing terrible things involving the number .

Minoring in drama. Any questions about the school?

We will not ask about Mr. Unpredictable

because we already heard about Mr. Unpredictable,

Unless YOU would like to speak on the topic

of Mr. Unpredictable.

Uhhh. Yeah, I mean, well, that guy,

he didn't get along with a lot of the students here.

He had beefs with Phillip Fives, Zelda Zeros,

oh, and one time-- one time I said,

"Hey, Mr. U!" And he said,

[dramatically] "My name is not Mr. U!

My name is Mr. Unpredictable!

We shall no longer be friends and from this moment forth,

I shall have nothing to do with the number six!"

-[clapping] -[normally] Maybe I should--

I'm thinking of majoring in drama. I dunno.

Uh, you guys go ahead and pick some seats,

the class is about to start.

It's called "How To Spot An Odd Squad Agent."

[cackles]

House seven!

Lunch, madame.

-[both] Oh no. -[Mr. Unpredictable] Yes,

it's Mr. Unpredictable!

With a parsley garnish!

I just struck houses eleven, and thirteen!

I so wanna defeat this guy!

[cackling evilly]

We got this, partner!

He hit one, three, four, , and ...

maybe it's a phone number!

Opal, it's not a phone number.

Or maybe it's someone's birthday!

Or the numbers on his license plate! Or--

We would like the check, please.

The numbers of blades of grass!

Who can tell me what an Odd Squad agent looks like?

[Simon] Ooh! Ah, uh, they have

eight tentacles, which is why they are often called Odd Squid.

No.

They look like children, wearing suits.

Unless they're undercover, in which case,

they look like children wearing jeans and baseball caps.

Now, who can tell me what the Odd Squad ringtone sounds like?

-[Odd Squad theme plays] -Yes! Very good!

[music stops]

-Odd Squid! -[Oswald & Orla shout]

Class dismissed early.

Homework assignment: chase them!

Oswald speaking. Not a good time!



Please tell me you found something

-about Mr. Unpredictable. -All we learned was,

he didn't get along with any of his classmates!

-[laser zapping] -Turn around!

[Oswald] Tessa Twosie did not like him.

Nor did Phillip Fives.

he wanted nothing to do with their numbers.

Wait. What other number villains did he not get along with?

We can do this the easy way, or the hard way!

[Mr. Unpredictable] This is still recording.

-Hard way it is. -[grunting angrily]

Opal, I think we can find Mr. Unpredictable's pattern.

But we have to use a hundreds chart. And...

you really need to stop talking to that snake.

[horn honks]

OK, deal.

[Omar] Orla and Oswald helped me figure out

a bunch of numbers that

Mr. Unpredictable will never hit.

Like the number two.

We can cross out this entire column,

because all the numbers end in two.

We can also cross out ,

and all the numbers in this row, because they all have twos too.

We can also do the same with

the other digits he doesn't like.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, and zero.

So that only leaves numbers one, three, and four.

And any numbers that have those numbers, like , , and .

[Omar] Cross out the numbers he already hit.

[beeping]

Which means, he's going to...

Beantown Street.

[Opal & Omar] Odd Squad, Odd Squad! Stop right there!

Wha-- wait, wait, how did you--

You tried so hard not to be like any other villains.

So we just had to figure out what no other villain would do.

And KNEW you would do that.

[both] Predictable.

I will never be predictable!

Watch this! Eenie, meenie, miney--

[all three] Turkey burger!

[shouting] Nooooo!

[weeping]

OK, you win.

I'm gonna go change my name to Mr. Predictable...

or Derek. Yeah. Derek.

[singsong] Odd Squid, where are you?

[Orla, muffled] Ah, the thrill of undercover.

[papers rustling]

Nothing to see here, villains!

Just some ordinary garbage.

[rustling]

[sigh]





[roaring]

[Big O] Odd Squad Training Video #:

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.

-Like... this. -[beep]

Mini golf. Cool.

Let's try another button.

-Boom. -[beep]

Hmm. I guess that button doesn't do anything.

How about...

[beep]

-[alarm blaring] -Wait. What's happening?

[van computer] Self-destruct mode activated.

Van will turn into a pile of pudding in seconds.

Pile of pudding? Mmm. Wait-- wait, what?

How do I turn this thing off?

[van computer] Press the button again

when the light flashes red.

OK. Red. Got it.

OK.

-R-- -[failure tone]

Ugh, no.

-Red-- -[failure tone]

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!

Blue, green, yellow, RED!

[beep]

[van computer] Self-destruct mode deactivated.

[sighs] OK.

Well, I've learned an important lesson.

Never push a button without reading the instruction manual.



There's a candy wall?!



[Big O] Down the Tubes!

[whoosh]

[van computer] Agents, you have an incoming call

from the Big O.

There you four are!

Uh, where are you calling us from?

Australia! You can tell because I'm with

Orana and Oliver. And these kangaroos.

-Wow! -Orana, tell them the bad news.

I accidentally zapped Oliver with my Octopus-inator.

[tentacles squishing]

-I meant the other bad news. -I've got this, partner.

It seems a villain has been messing with the tube system

at Tube Central here in Australia.

And now the tubes are sending agents to all the wrong places.

[beep]

-[OSMU agents] Whoa. -[beep]

Baddest news of all,

I'm shutting down the tube system.

And I still have octopus legs.

But, we use the van, not the tubes.

How does this news affect us?

Since you're the only team that doesn't use them,

I need you to drive everyone else to their cases.

[all three] Good luck!

Hold on! You want our elite team

to be a taxi service?!

Only half of you.

The other half will go to Tube Central Station

to help fix the tubes.

Oh, well in that case--

Me and Opal call taxi duty!

Read your mind, didn't I, partner?

Well, what are you waiting for? GO!

-[beep] -Then it is settled.

Oswald and I shall head to Tube Central Station.

In Australia!

Do you guys mind giving us a ride

before you give the entire Odd Squad a ride?



-[Orla] Magnificent! -[Oswald] Whoa!

So this is where every Odd Squad tube

in the world passes through!

[agent] Hello there. You must be Oswald and Orla.

Welcome to Tube Central Station.

I'm O'Shaughnessy, the Tube Master General.

Huh. I thought she'd have an Australian accent.

I transferred here from Westborough, Massachusetts.

Now, let's talk about how to defeat the Scrambler.

What is this "Scrambler?"

[O'Shaughnessy] A machine mixing up all the stations,

put there by a villain.

Then we must find this machine!

It's at Station Ten.

Then we must smash this machine!

If I tried to send you to Station Ten,

that's not where you'd end up. The stations are scrambled.

Then I am out of ideas!

Why don't you try sending me and Orla to different stations?

That way, we might end up at Station Ten?

You go, Oswald.

For I have never been in a tube.

Nor do I plan to.

But tube travelling is so much fun!

You get squishhhhed into a tiny ball!

Then get hurtled around the earth at the speed of a rocket!

You know what, I'll go!

Then you'll see there's nothing to worry about.

O'Shaughnessy, try Station One!

[O'Shaughnessy] Preparing to squish-inate!

[whirring]

-[beep] -Squish-inating!

[whooshing]

[Oswald exclaims excitedly]

Up! Down! Ah!

Whoo-hoo!

So, how long have you guys been a taxi service?

We are NOT a taxi service. We're an elite team of agents--

But today, we're a taxi service.

...we're an elite team of agents dedicated--

-Taxi service. -Elite team!

-Taxi service. -[Opal] Elite team!

-[Omar] Taxi service. -You know what?

I'll get out here.

But we're still in the sky!

I'll use my hang glider.

[whoosh]

...I should've done this outside.

[rustling]

[murmuring faintly]

-I'm out. -Thank you for riding with

the Odd Squad Mobile Unit!

[ding]

What was that?

Our taxi service rating app!

Agents can give us a rating out of ten

to tell us if we're doing a good job.

Wait, there's a rating system?

Yeah? Unfortunately, that last kid only gave us one star. See?

I guess the two of us arguing didn't help.

If she'd given us nine more stars--

--one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine--

--we would have gotten ten out of ten.

Ten out of ten is a score an elite team like OSMU deserves!

We're about to give people the best rides ever!

Buckle up, partner!

...I am buckled.

I'm confused.

He asked to be sent to Station One,

and yet he went to Station Nine.

Then, we tried to send him to Station Two,

but he went to Station Eight.

This is what I've been telling you!

The stations are all mixed up!

[Odd Squad ringtone]

I am Orla.

[Oswald] I'm not sure where I am right now.

Describe your surroundings.

I'm in a weird office.

-Even by Odd Squad standards. -[goats bleating]

[O'Shaughnessy] Sounds like you're at Station Six,

-in Belgium. -[sighs] Let's try it again.

[forced cheer] Here we go heh heh, back in the tubes.

I thought you loved the tubes?

Of course I do! That's why I said,

[excitedly] "Here we go! Back in the tubes!"

[Oswald] This is longer than I thought.

Too fast, too fast, too fast!

Oooh, my tummy.



Are you sure I can't get you anything?

I'm good.

Maybe a... sparkling water?

Great idea, Omar! Let me get that for you.

[can hissing]

Oh!

Opal!

[Opal] Sorry! Let me clean that up.

I'll get some napkins.

Or, I'll just use my shoe--

You know what! I'll get out here.

But we're flying over the ocean!

-I can swim. -[whoosh]

Ugh. I should have done this outside.

[Opal] Thank you for riding with OSMU!

Don't forget to give us a rating!

-[doors open & close] -[dinging]

Hey! We got five stars!

Five stars?

That's one, two, three, four, five stars away

from being a ten out of ten!

Better than our last score!

But still not the elite score OSMU deserves.

I have a great idea!



[panting]

[breathlessly] Yeah, I've landed.

I'm...in a home.

Is this Tube Station Ten?

No. You're at Station Five, in Uganda.

[O'Shaughnessy] Wait a minute!

Station Five is exactly where I sent him!

Why didn't the Scrambler send him somewhere else?

It seems the villain did not want

Station Five to be scrambled.

Perhaps because they love the number five!

A villain who loves fives?

I know who did this! Hang tight, Oswald!

Roger that!

...So, what's for dinner?

[knocking]

Hi there! I'm High-Five!

-High five! -[smack]

We are from Odd Squad, and we order you

to smash your tube-scrambling device at once.

Oh, I'd never do anything that bad.

My biggest act of villainy is this!

Down low.

Too slow!

[laughs hysterically]

HA! HA! HAAAA--

I'm in the middle of a puzzle.

[door slams]

If High-Five wasn't responsible for the Scrambler,

then why is Station Five the only station not scrambled?

Perhaps it is part of a pattern.

Let us look at the places Oswald has traveled so far.

First, we sent Oswald to Station One,

but he went to Station Nine.

Then, we sent him to Station Two,

but he went to Station Eight.

[O'Shaughnessy] Then, three went to seven.

Four went to six, and so on.

It doesn't make any sense. Maybe we should just give up.

Nay! Odd Squad Mobile Unit agents never give up.

But we do call our partners to let them know

when things are not going so well.

Opal? Things are not going so well.

[music blaring on other line]

What is that loud music?

[loudly] It's part of our OSMU taxi service!

A party in every ride, guaranteed!

Hey Opal! We're out of dip!

Guac-inator!

-Thanks Opal! -[Opal] No problem!

[Omar, singsong] Guac, guac, guac.

We're so close to getting a ten-star rating!

[Opal] Earlier, our ride gave us five stars.

Which is only five away from ten.

But our last ride gave us nine stars,

which is only one away from ten!

Wait. Did you say nine and one, and five and five,

both add up to ten?

I think I know how to solve this case!

I have found the pattern!

Observe.

Sending Oswald to Station One sent him to Station Nine.

And one plus nine equals ten.

Then we tried to send him to Station Two.

But he went to Station Eight. And two plus eight equals ten!

Each pair of numbers adds up to ten!

It must be a villain who likes the number ten,

which explains why the Scrambler's at Station Ten!

So, to send Oswald to Station Ten,

we must send him to the station number

that adds with ten to make ten.

[O'Shaughnessy] Which would be Station Zero,

because zero plus ten equals ten!

I shall call the mighty Oswald.

[Ugandan man] Go for Oswald.

Oswald is needed for a Scrambler-smashing mission.

-Where is he? -Sleeping.

On my table.

-[snoring & muttering] -No more tubes.

Oswald is too tired to continue.

It makes sense. You're not supposed to take

more than four tube rides a day.

NOW you mention this?!

But who will smash the Scrambler?

You'll have to.

Me?

Travel by tube?

I cannot.

I thought OSMU agents never gave up.

[music swells]

Squish-inate me.

Uhh, you can't do that here, you have to go over there.

Yeah, right.

[determined instrumental]

[O'Shaughnessy] Preparing to squish-inate.

[machine whirs]

[O'Shaughnessy] Squish-inating!

[shouting] Hark! My body is but a sphere!

[Orla] What is this strange mode of travel you have created?

-[shouting] -[pinball machine dinging]

-[panting] -[whoosh]

Hello, Odd Squad!

-I'm Tennifer, and-- -Tube travel is so much fun!

...so as I was saying, I. Love. Tens!

And also tennis.

And that machine over there--

[machine whirring]

--is my Scrambler!

Which will shut down the Odd Squad tube system FOREVER!

[cackles maniacally]

[zap]

[sparking & sputtering]

Nooo!

-I am Orla. -You did it!

The Big O says the tube system is back online!

Want us to come pick you up?

Nay. I have a much better idea.

-[whooshing] -[Orla whooping]

Oswald! Wake up! You're missing all the fun!

Woooo!

[snoring]

[Oona] Welcome to Odd Squad:

A guide to your gadgets!

Behold the Shrink-inator!

It is the number one curer of Giant-Dog-itis.

But that's not all! Seriously, that's not all.

Flip the Shrink-inator over, and it can also make waffles!

The Shrink-inator also has a motion sensor!

It-- which, it-- it doesn't work.

This has been a helpful guide to the Shrink-inator!

Remember, knowledge is power!

Power is gadgets,

and gadgets is gadgets!

Greetings, agents. I'm the Big O.

I used to be the Miss O at Precinct .

What are you waiting for? GO!

But now, I run all of Odd Squad.

What are you waiting for? GO!

Being the Big O means I get to make lots of big decisions.

-Like this! -[beep]

Which one?

Orange.

[slurps]

Good call.

But the decision I'm most proud of

is starting up the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

Not only to fight oddness worldwide,

but to allow me to practice my different languages!

[speaking other languages]

Well, time for me to make some more big decisions.

[beep]

Hmm. Hat or not hat?

Who am I kidding. Hat!

I told you orange was a good call.
