03x24 - Mission O Possible/Nature of the Sandbeast

[bunniefuu]

[Little O] Coming up next on Odd Squad:

Did I tell you about the time when I was

-a special operations agent? -[squad] No!

The map is up for auction at a very fancy villain gala tonight.

Sneak into the gala and retrieve the map.

That sounds impossible!

My name is Agent Orla.

These are my partners: Oswald, Omar and Osmerelda.

This is me cutting corners.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[heroic music]]

[fists thudding]

*

[zapping]

Huh?

[rumbling reverse zap]

Woo!

[crackling]

-[screaming] -[bicycle bells ringing]

[dust spraying]

[Orla]Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

[Little O] Mission O Possible.

*

Little O should be here by now.

I am certain she is on her way.

-There you four are. -[hi-tech whooshing]

-Give me an update. -There's a signal-jammer device

in Jimmy Jam's apartment jamming all of Odd Squad communication.

Our badge-phones don't work.

Nor do our watch tablets.

[static]

Which is why we had to use a carrier pigeon to call you here.

Good work, Agent O'Bird.

[pigeon cooing]

With Odd Squad communications down,

the villains plan to cause a ton of oddness

when the sun comes up.

It's all they're discussing.

How do you know that?

As a former library-museum person,

I not only read books,

but I also read lips.

And there are lots of lips to read in the villain party room.

Hm.

The party room is on the tenth floor corner suite.

-[playful music with kazoos] -Ah, I see them now.

Celebrating.

Let's move into Jimmy Jam's apartment,

-and take the signal-jammer. -Problem.

We do not know which apartment Jimmy Jam lives in.

And we can't just run in the building and knock on doors.

If they know we're in there, they'll move the signal-jammer,

and we might never find it again.

Feels like an impossible mission.

You wanna hear about impossible?

*

Whoa.

Little O, we've heard your nacho story before.

Even the part where I got my picture on the wall

for eating the entire plate?

[squad] Yes.

Then, did I tell you about the time

when I was a special operations agent?

-[squad] No! -Yup!

It was before I started working at Big O headquarters.

*

Agent Orpita, we have a problem.

A map showing the location

of every Odd Squad precinct around the world

has fallen into villain hands.

How do we get it back?

The map is up for auction at a very fancy villain gala tonight.

Your top-secret mission is to sneak into the gala

and retrieve the map.

Sounds easy enough.

You'll have to pass through a metal detector to get inside,

which means you can't bring a badge-phone,

watch-tablet or gadgets with you.

That sounds impossible!

You wanna hear about impossible?

*

Whoa.

Yup.

Got my picture on the wall and everything.

But, if I can't bring my badge-phone,

watch-tablet and gadgets,

what do I do if I run into trouble?

You can use these.

[thud]

A box of pencils and paper covered in tiny squares?

I'm confused.

That's called graph paper.

I mean confused about how this is going to help me.

I wish I had time to explain...

[clanking and hissing]

...But it's go-time.

[wind howling]

You're lucky I like jumping out of airplanes.

[intense instrumental]

-Weee! -[Oswald] Wait!

I got another clue!

Sorry to interrupt, Little O,

but Randy Rounding said that

Jimmy Jam's signal-jammer is so loud,

he can hear it in his apartment,

three floors directly above Jimmy Jam.

So, if we know what floor Randy Rounding is on--

We can figure out what floor Jimmy Jam lives on.

Right! Except,

I don't know what floor Randy Rounding's on.

Continue lip reading while Little O finishes her story.

After jumping from the plane,

I landed outside the villain mansion...

...where the auction for the Odd Squad map

would be taking place.

*

[smooth jazz]

[alarm wailing]

[knight] I think I have coins in my pocket.

I don't think it's the coins.

[coins jangling]

Yarr. You're a kid.

How do I know ye are not an Odd Squad agent?

...Because, I don't have a badge-phone,

watch-tablet, or gadgets.

Also, I'm a waiter

[ding]

In that case, can I get a Shirley Temple

before the auction begins?

Absolutely.

Where is that auction happening, by the way?

Upstairs in the Super-Safe Secure Room.

And me would like extra cherries on me Shirley Temple--

where did she go?

-[alarm wailing] -Oh, it's probably my belt.

[armor clanking]

*

Aha!

The Super-Safe Secure Room.

-[clicking] -Locked.

But there's a keypad.

[beep]

[keypad]To unlock door, answer the following question:

If Lady Bread had ten loaves of Bread,

and Noise Maker took four of them,

but then Marty Marmalade helped her get two of them back,

how many loaves of bread does Lady Bread have?

So many words.

Maybe the graph paper can help.

[ding]

What do I know?

Lady Bread had ten loaves of Bread, ten.

I can use a tens frame!

*

Now I'll fill in each square with a loaf of bread.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

Lady Bread had ten loaves of Bread,

and Noise Maker took four of them.

So I can erase, or take away, four.

*

And then, Marty Marmalade

helped Lady Bread get two loaves back.

So, I can add two loaves back.

*

So, Lady Bread ended up with one, two, three,

four, five, six, seven--

eight loaves of bread!

-[electronic beeping] -[keypad]Correct!

Welcome to the auction.

[Oswald] Wait!

I got another clue.

Father Time lives three doors away from Randy Rounding

on the same floor.

Great. What floor is that?

I still don't know.

[Orla mouthing words silently]

Uh, Orla, did you just say "Keep lip-reading, young Oswald.

The sun will be coming up soon?"

Yes.

I was just making sure you could really do it.

Little O, can you tell us the rest of the story?

The nacho one, or the other one?

[Orla, Omar, and Osmerelda] The other one.

[chatter and smooth jazz]

[gavel banging]

[German accent] The next item up for auction

is a magical wizard's beard.

-[crowd "Oh!"ing] -The bidding starts at $.

Do I have $? Yes!

You look like an Odd Squad agent.

No, I'm a waiter. I have a tray.

Oh. Sorry.

I didn't see the tray.

And if you don't mind, I have a lot of drink orders to fill

before they auction off the Odd Squad map.

Well you better hurry, it's the next item up for bidding.

[auctioneer] $ to Pirate Pasha--

Then, why don't I see it?

It's behind the curtain.

By the way, can I get a Shirley Temple

with as many maraschino cherries as is humanly possible?

And she's gone.

[Little O]The map was in a secure laser case, with a lock.

[beep]

[keypad]If Noise Maker has trumpets,

and Timmy Takestuff takes six of them,

but Noise Maker manages to get four of them back,

how many trumpets does Noise Maker have?

Graph paper time.

*

Okay.

Noise Maker had trumpets.

Since this is a bigger number than ten,

I can use a number line instead of a tens frame.

Five dollars so far, ten dollars, do I hear ten dollars?

Huh.

Drawing a number line on graph paper is really easy.

The squares can act as little tick marks.

I realize I'm talking to myself,

but it's really helping me stay calm.

Now, we'll start with my pencil at ,

because Noise Maker had trumpets.

And, Timmy Takestuff took six trumpets,

so I count backwards.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

So Noise Maker is left with eight trumpets.

But then, he got four of them back.

One, two, three, four.

Which leaves Noise Maker with trumpets!

[beeping]

[keypad]Correct. Laser case unlocked.

I got it, I got the map!

[villains gasping]

She's not a waiter!

'Tis true!

I never got me cherries!

Uh-oh!

[intense violins]

[Orla, Omar and Osmerelda] Why did you stop the story?

I figured Oswald was gonna interrupt again,

and this felt like a natural break in the story.

Sorry. I don't have any new info.

Then we shall allow Little O to finish her tale of bravery.

How did you defeat the villains?

With graph paper, and pencils.

[Orla, Omar and Osmerelda] Huh?

[heroic music]

*

[slow-mo] Nooo!

[slowed zapping]

Get her!

[booming and pencils clattering]

-Yarr! -[thunder clapping]

-Ah! -[paper rustling]

*

[low zapping]

*

No, no!

[rapid bongos]

She's with Odd Squad, stop her!

Uh, free pencils!

-[pencils clattering] -I love pencils!

Finally, we agree on something.

Forget the pencils-- oh, they are nice.

And that was my impossible mission.

[Orla, Omar and Osmerelda] Wow!

But how does that help with our impossible mission?

The only other information I have is that Father Time

lives four floors directly above the party room.

I think we can figure this out with graph paper.

[all] Really?

Check this out. I've sketched

the villain building we've been looking at. See?

This is the party room.

th floor corner suite.

And father time lives four floors

directly above the party room.

We can use graph paper squares to help us count.

One, two, three, four.

So this square here is Father Time's apartment.

Oswald also said Father Time

lives three doors away from Randy Rounding.

So we can count one, two, three.

Here. This is where Randy Rounding lives.

And Randy Rounding said the Jimmy Jam's signal-jammer

is so loud he can hear it in his apartment--

[all] Three doors directly above Jimmy Jam!

[Omar] One, two three.

Jimmy Jam's apartment!

Let's go get that signal-jammer!

[loud constant whirring]

[Jimmy Jam] Jam, Jam, Jimmy, Jammy jam!

[squad] Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there!

[Jimmy Jam] Sammity, sammity sand-wich!

Ugh!

He can't hear us!

Should we even let him know that we're here?

Or we could just take the signal-jammer!

[general agreement] Yeah, makes sense.

[loud constant whirring]

[Jimmy Jam] Jammy, jammity jam!

Impossible mission accomplished!

Only one way to celebrate!

*

[all] Nachos!

[dignified marching music]

[bell dinging]

*

[metal wrenching]

[Oona] Welcome to the lab!

Part two!

How to do, Agents.

Here in the lab, we have lots of top secret information.

Mostly, information we keep inside these two worms.

[whoosh]

[whip]

The others, we keep inside this computer.

The computer is guarded by a password.

I forget the password a lot,

so I made a word problem to help me remember the password.

Hey Oona, it's me, Oona.

I'm hilarious.

The password is less than the number of buttons on your shirt,

and more than the number of worms.

Okay. Let's break this down into steps.

The password is less than the number of buttons on my shirt.

I have one, two, three, four buttons.

So if we look at the number line,

less than the number four means smaller than four.

So, it has to be one of these numbers.

But then it says that my password

is greater than the number of worms.

[whooshing]

[whip]

I have two worms.

Greater than means "more than,"

so the password has to be a number

more than two.

The only number that's less than four,

and more than two is three,

which must be my password!

Woo!

As a backup, I also made a keyboard

that is only the number three.

-[lock clicking] -Woo!

There you are! Something very odd has happened.

Yes, I'm talking to you,

the one hanging upside down--

or maybe I'm upside down...

and you're right side up.

We'll figure it out later.

Now take a look at this.

Odd Squad places open when we punch in secret codes.

But everyone here has forgotten what the codes are.

Help us figure them out again

so we can get back into headquarters.

Go to pbskids.org to get started.

Odd Squad needs you.

[Little O] Nature of the Sandbeast.

[Osmerelda] Show's over, Dr. Dry.

We know you stole the sandbeast egg

that Odd Squad was protecting.

And we're not going anywhere until you admit it.

I admit it! I took it.

-Great! -But,

I'm not giving it back.

You have to!

The sandbeast is returning today,

which is why I've started packing my getaway bag.

When she finds out her egg is missing,

she'll cover the whole world in sand.

-[chuckling] -Which is exactly what I want.

Is this some sort of game to you?

Yes! And here's how you play.

If you can guess exactly how I got to the middle of nowhere,

snuck past the Odd Squad security guard,

passed the laser fence,

and solved the code to get the egg,

why, I will give it back.

[Orla growls]

Team meeting.

Maybe we pack our bags like Oswald,

and make a run for it before the sandbeast comes.

The word run does not exist in my dictionary.

[paper rustling]

I got it on discount because it stops at the letter L.

-See? -The way I see it,

we have no choice but to play Dr. Dry's game.

But don't worry, I know exactly how he got the egg.

Watch and learn.

[tense music plays]

All right, Dr. Dry.

I'll play your little game and tell you how you got the egg.

Starting with:

well, how did I get to the egg in the middle of nowhere?

You got there on the back of a cool but weird bike.

[bicycle bell ringing]

[in Osmerelda's voice] Thanks for the ride,

professional cycling champion.

[in Osmerelda's voice] You told me I had no choice,

even when I was in the middle of an important race.

[Osmerelda fake laughing]

The Odd Squad containment unit is right over there.

[electricity buzzing]

Ah, the Odd Squad security guard.

Time for a distraction.

-[walkie-talkie crackles] -I've got eyes on the guard.

I'm ready for you now.

[with Osmerelda's voice] You called?

Hi, singing telegram. Could you sing Happy Birthday

-to that guard over there? -Sure thing!

* Happy birthday to you

* Happy birthday to you

* Happy birthday Agent Something-With-An-O *

* Happy birthday to you!

[with Osmerelda's voice] Thanks! It's not my birthday,

but I do love this song.

After that, you made your way to the laser fence.

Hm. Is this really a laser fence?

[electric buzzing]

-[zapping and popping] -Ooh!

Yup.

Time for shovel gloves.

[sand rustling]

Ooh, ugh, ah, ooh.

Time to crawl.

Ha, ha!

*

Ha-ha! Yes!

I did it! I'm inside.

*

Now I just need to solve the code to get rid of those lasers.

-[beep] [Osmerelda as keypad]To open

the door to the containment coop,

what is half of ?

Hm.

There's only one way to answer this.

With pieces of dry toast.

[Osmerelda fake laughing]

If I deal out pieces of toast into two separate piles,

then that will evenly split in half.

One for you, one for you,

one for you, and one for you--

[balloon squeaking]

Ah! [whooshing]

...One for you!

Two even piles.

Now all I have to do is count the pieces in one pile,

and I will know what half of is!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

, , -- !

is the answer!

[beep, beep, click]

[low electric hum dying]

Huh, huh. Ha-ha!

And that is how you did it!

Nope! That's not how I did it.

I don't have toast on me.

I don't have of anything on me!

Plus, the bike was also wrong.

Also, the digging.

The only thing you got right was the singing telegram.

I knew it!

Even though the song was wrong.

[Osmerelda sighs]

Welp, we gave it our best sh*t.

We can laugh over this as we escape

far, far away from the sandbeast.

I got this. I know how you stole the egg, Dr. Dry.

You arrived on one of those strange two-wheeled scooters.

*

[in Omar's voice] Urgh! The Odd Squad security guard.

I need to distract her.

-[walkie-talkie crackles] -I'm ready for you now.

[in Omar's voice] You called?

Hi, singing telegram. Can you sing a Soundcheck song?

-I love them. -Samesies!

They're my favorite band. Hee!

Hi, Agent Something-With-An-O, I have a singing telegram for you.

* Gotta add one, gotta add one *

* Gotta add one breath to me *

* And take my breath away

That's one tall, laser-y fence.

Luckily, I have whipped cream cans.

And away, we go!

[whipped cream hissing]

Whoa, I can see my house from here.

Ooh.

-[beep] -[Omar as keypad]To open

the door to the containment coop,

what is half of ?

Hm, half of . Too bad I don't carry of anything on me.

I know! I'll use my chalk and chalkboard.

Ha, ha. I can break down the number

and make it smaller.

Just write here... eight here.

Since I know my doubles,

I know that is double of ten,

eight is double of four.

Now I just have to add the ten and the four to get...

[chalk scratching]

, , ...

! is half of .

[Omar fake laughs]

[beep, beep, click]

[low electric hum dying]

-[Omar grunts] -I did it!

I got the sandbeast egg!

THAT...is how you did it.

Nope! I would never use doubles,

out of respect for my best villain pal Double Dan.

But I got the rest right, right?

You got the two wheel scooter right,

you got the singing telegram right,

although the song was still wrong.

So we've yet to figure out two things.

How he got over the fence, and how he solved the code.

Ha! And good luck!

The world is gonna be dry, so dry!

[Dr. Dry laughing]

Oh.

[electric hum]

Last chance to skedaddle.

I'll give the rest of you a minute to pack.

Skedaddle is not in my dictionary either.

Plus, I know exactly how Dr. Dry did it.

[in Orla's voice] Only a bit further

on this horseless chariot.

-[walkie-talkie beeping] -Dr. Dry here,

I'm ready for your singing of songs.

-[in Orla's voice] You called? -Sing your most

operatic opera song to the guard.

As you wish.

Excuse me, it is I, your singing telegram.

* I am dry

* Dry, dry, as a

* Booooooooone

[sustained note]

This laser fence is no match for my bouncy shoes!

I shall leap over this fence in a single bound.

Bounce, bounce...

[sproinging]

[Dr. Dry]How did you know about my bouncy shoes?

Because I am a genius.

We are so close to figuring this out.

Ah, not so fast.

Orla got three things right.

The two wheeled scooter, the singing telegram,

and bouncy shoes.

She still didn't get the song right, though,

which is not a big deal.

You still haven't figured out how I got the code.

I was not finished.

-[beep] -[Orla keypad]What is half

-of ? -Oracle, I summon thee!

-[thunder clapping] -[in Orla's voice] You have

summoned the oracle!

How do you wish to proceed?

Send me your most loyal time-sheep

to help me answer this.

As you wish!

[in Orla's voice] Baaa, half of is . Baaa!

, thanks, Time-Sheep.

Baa, you are welcome.

[beep, beep click]

[low electric hum dying]

*

Ha-ha! I am a thief of eggs,

and Orla is the mightiest agent of all time!

And THAT is how you did it.

One: I would never say that about you.

Two: there was no oracle,

and three: I'm gonna love watching you guys lose.

[rumbling]

[whispering] The sandbeast is getting closer.

Now give us the egg so we can stop this sand-tastrophe.

Never.

Sorry, Odd Squad, I win.

-[rumbling] -[chuckling]

Okay, I'm with Oswald. Run.

Wait. I know how he did it!

Can you do it quickly?

I only need a few seconds.

Here's exactly what happened: [whoosh]

[in Oswald's voice] Look at me, I'm on a strange

two-wheeled scooter, yadda, yadda, yadda,

we got that part already.

[in Oswald's voice] Fa la la, blah blah blah,

-la la la, blah blah blah. -Bouncy shoes, activate.

Ah.

Whoa.

[Oswald as keypad] What is half of ?

Hm, how do I solve this?

[Oswald]You didn't use toast, or doubling, or an oracle.

You used your feet!

One, two, three, four, five...

..., , , .

There!

footprints.

Now all I have to do is estimate the middle.

Then, I draw a line splitting the footprints in half.

And then I count the footprints on each side.

One, two...

, , !

The answer is !

[beep, beep, click]

[low electric hum dying]

How did you know?

Your feet have sand on them.

You even got the song La La La, Bla Blah Blah right.

Now, where did you hide the egg?

It's right here in my jacket.

[grunting]

[rumbling]

The sandbeast has arrived.

We need to take the egg directly to her.

Oswald!

[slow whooshing]

-[thudding] -Got it.

Shields up!

Let's do this.

-[pneumatic hissing] -Whoa!

Whoa. One second thought,

I'm gonna stay back and keep an eye on Dr. Dry.

*

[sand spraying]

[coughing]

I have your egg!

[low rumbling vocalization]

*

[Orla] Clear!

[heavy thud]

*

Wow, that was awesome.

Awesome is definitely in my dictionary.

[heroic music swells]

[squad] Yeah!

[serious marching drumbeat]

[ratcheting]

I joined because a handshake should not cause a thunderstorm.

I joined because people need people,

and we thrive when we have a balance of getting

and giving support to and from others.

I joined because snow should be cold, not ticklish.

[snow giggling]

We are...

We are...

We are...

Odd Squad.

*

[Little O] Since the beginning of time,

and also forward in time,

we've been fighting Odd.

In our spare time, we also like to draw pictures of ourselves.

We really like this one.

There's no case too big...

...no case too small.

At Odd Squad, we do it all.

Yes, that is a zebra selling lemonade.

Join Odd Squad at pbskids.org,

and you can get top-notch training, including...

How to identify odd medical conditions,

where to find the Odd Squad x-ray machine,

and how to mix odd antidotes.

In case of an odd outbreak, step one is to find the odd germs.

Step two: disinfecting your workspace.

Step three: pinpoint future problems.

Here at Odd Squad, you'll get the latest

in staying safe, healthy and happy.

*

You can also watch Odd Squad cases.

[maniacal laughing]

[squad] Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there!

You're gonna stop us?

[villains laughing]

[squad] Oh yeah!

*

[zapping]

[slowed "Oh"s]

[zapping]

Join today.

Odd Squad needs you.

And I need a new look.

[thud]

Professional, but fun.

Like me!

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

[Oswald]Welcome to Odd Squad: a guide to your gadgets!

Behold the toothbrush-inator, the first gadget ever created.

Most people don't know this,

the toothbrush-inator isn't used for brushing teeth.

It's used to comb your eyebrows,

with high quality bristles,

made from only the finest horse-tail hair.

The toothbrush-inator can withstand anything...

except toothpaste.

This has been a helpful guide to the toothbrush-inator.

Remember, knowledge is power,

power is gadgets, and gadgets is ham salad.

[Little O]Odd Squad: Teaming Up with Teamwork

Together as a Team.

Hi! I'm Osmerelda,

the newest member of the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

I'm so glad to be part of the team,

because Odd Squad and I have been trying

to work together for a really long time.

But things kept getting in the way.

I just have to go to my volleyball game first.

And then flute practice.

And then I have to pick up my sister from the dentist.

What can I say? I just love activities so much!

Luckily, I found a way to keep doing them

and be an agent at the same time!

[flute music]

[sparking]

-[audience gasping] -Ta-da!

-[wind howling] -Weee!

It's a little trick I like to call 'time management'.

The process of planning and exercising

conscious control of time spent on specific activities

to increase effectiveness, efficiency and productivity.

In other words, I can do a lot of stuff.

Like this video, and this oil painting.

[Little O] Odd Squad: Teams Working with Teams

Together as a Team Together! I think that was it.
