03x27 - The Problem with Pentagurps/Three Portals Down

[bunniefuu]

[Little O] Coming up next onOdd Squad...

The entire Odd Squad mail department shut down!

[mail agent] With pentagurps on the loose,

we haven't been able to deliver any Odd Squad mail.

[Oswald] They'll keep multiplying

'til the world's overrun with pentagurps!

[Orla] My name is Agent Orla.

These are my partners, Oswald, Omar, and Osmerelda.

And this is us wearing cheese hats.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[Omar] This is harder than I thought.

Do you have any large flan drivets?

Nope, go fish.

[metal clinking]

All right! I fished my wish.

Nice.

[van computer]Agents, you have an incoming call

from the Little O.

There you four are. Something very odd has happened.

What strange oddness has befallen

this round orb we call Earth?

The entire Odd Squad mail department shut down.

-[all gasping] -Which is why I'm sending you

to the Odd Squad mail room in Omaha, Nebraska.

[computer beeping]

Any questions?

Oh, yes! Um, how does a photon

accelerate to light speed so quickly?

A photon of light doesn't accelerate at light speed,

because a photon is already traveling

at light speed when it's created.

-Oh! -Makes sense.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

[van computer]Now arriving in Omaha, Nebraska,

the birthplace of corn-flavored ice cream.

Thank you so much for coming. My name is Agent Oyster.

And no, I don't like oysters.

I'm the mail carrier and chief

of the Odd Squad mail department.

[Omar] Oh, I remember you!

You delivered mail to our flying van once.

As we say in the mail department,

"neither rain, nor sleet, nor a flock of birds migrating

south for the winter, will stop us from delivering the mail."

Until now! Follow me.

[whizzing & crashing]

[agents shouting]

[thudding]

Hey! I just finished stacking that!

[shouting]

Take cover!

[agents exclaiming]

What are those things?!

Pentagurps. This morning I accidentally dropped

the containment unit, and they escaped.

With pentagurps on the loose,

we haven't been able to deliver any Odd Squad mail.

Like antidotes, and gadgets!

That is not good.

Worst of all, I won't be able to make it

to my tennis match later today.

...I just really love tennis.

Don't worry, Oyster.

We'll catch these pentagurps in no time.

I could use your help with one more thing.

A pentagurp destroyed our mail truck.

And since you have a van, could you please deliver this?

Omar and I will do it. Package delivery, ho!

Good luck, guys!

So, how many pentagurps do we need to catch?

For now, just five.

What do you mean, "for now"?

Pentagurps multiply by five every hour.

But don't worry, right after they got out, I set my watch

to beep every hour so I know when they multiply,

-and so far hasn't-- -[watch beeping]

Wow. That hour just flew by.

[pentagurps whooshing]

[agents yelling]

[mail crashing]

So, how many pentagurps are we looking for now?

-Well... -[clicking & beeping]

If there were five pentagurps and they've each multiplied

by five, that means there are now five groups of five.

And we can count those groups by five.

, , , , pentagurps.

We can catch them with that.

This'll be easy-breezy.

A little later...

[panting] That was harder than I thought.

How many have we caught?

None. Zero. Zilch. Nada!

[pentagurps whooshing]

Come on!

[agents yelling]

[Oswald] Wait a minute! if there's no mail getting out,

then what's that cool-looking tube thingy doing?

That's our junk mail tube.

It's mostly just flyers for gadget-cleaning polish.

Ooh! Oona's Gadget-Cleaning Polish!

My favorite brand.

Why don't you just use the junk mail tube

to help you deliver mail?

If you put more than one thing at a time in there, it'll clog.

Then nothing will get out. Not even junk mail!

The most unstoppable kind of mail.

Oh, hi. Can I help you?

Hi there, just wondering if I'm allowed to sign for packages...

Uh huh.

Interesting...

Hi, I'm Odell. You called for me?

Yes! Please sign for this package

[Orla] NO!

There is another choice.

We shall find the agent named...

Hi!

I'm Odelllllllllllllllll!

We have a package for you.

Awesome!

I was wondering why it was taking so long.

[tape ripping]

Oh, boy. This isn't what I ordered.

You didn't order a multiply-inator?

No. I ordered multiple pliers.

My rage runneth over!

Hold on. I think I have an idea.

[blasting]

There. Now you have pairs of pliers.

Does that work for you?

[receptionist] Well, now that everyone's happy,

[Oona]Odd Squad training video number :

A Guide To Your Health.

Howdy-do, agents.

Being healthy is an important part

of staying on top of all your cases.

So get plenty of sleep, remember to exercise,

and never eat the one-million-year-old cheese

in the Odd Squad Museum or this... can happen to you!

We all make mistakes.

This one happens to make my lab smell like cheese.

Luckily, we can fix this with magical crackers.

You can find these magical crackers

in the magical cr*cker room,

right next to the tomato soup room.

Or just follow the cr*cker crumbs.

[crunching]

Tell me you did not already start eating those!

How many did you eat?

What this agent does not know is that it takes

exactly six crackers to cure cheese head.

If you eat any more,

then your whole body will turn into cheese.

Forever.

Well, let's figure out how many crackers this agent ate.

, , , , crackers are left.

Using an equation, or a number sentence,

we can find out how many crackers he ate.

Every container holds crackers,

and we wanna know the combination of two numbers

that will add together to make .

We know that are left, so we can put that

in the first blank. We just need to figure out

what number should go in the other blank to make .

Usually the blank's at the end of the equation,

after the equal sign, not in the middle!

But what if we switch this equation around

so it looks like a subtraction question we've seen before?

Because you can actually subtract from

to figure out the missing number.

Much easier!

So, minus crackers equals .

This agent ate crackers.

And since curing a cheese head requires exactly crackers,

he just needs to eat one more magical cr*cker.

[crunching]

Hey, it's Ohm!

Thanks, Oona! Sorry this happens every day.

It's okay. I like the lab smelling like cheese.

[Osmerelda] Three Portals Down.

-[Little O] There you four are! -[exclaiming]

Um, where are the other two?

They're both under the weather.

[rain pattering]

Got it. Now, where was I?

Something very odd has happened.

Right! There's oddness at Shmumber Farms

that needs fixing.

But since Oswald and Osmerelda are sick,

I'm gonna team you up with OSBU.

What is this "OSBU" of which you speak?

Odd Squad Back-Up Unit.

They fill in for anyone at any time.

They're quick, they're clever, and they've right behind you!

[Omar & Orla exclaiming]

Hi! I'm Agent Oppo, and this is Agent Over.

-Thanks for having us. -We're just here to help.

Great. This is a big case, so I'll let you get to it.

Good luck!

...Yeah, um, where's the exit?

[both] That way.

Sorry, still getting used to the van.

[van computer]Now arriving at Shmumber Farms.

[Omar] It's really quiet here...

Too quiet.

[zapping]

[all shouting]

It is no longer quiet.

That was a close one. Glad to see you, Odd Squad.

My name's Humber Shmumber. I run the place.

-[zapping] -[shouting]

What is going on here?

That!

[zapping]

They're eating everything.

If we don't stop them, it'll only be a matter of time

before my farm has no more fruit.

No more fruit means no more juice?

Exactly! We supply all the fruit for Big O's juice boxes.

And we need to fly the next shipment of juice

up to her in space by the end of the day.

Well, what else do we know about these beasts?

Uh, they burst out of those three spots.

And they scattered shapes just like these all over the farm.

These are portal pieces to the th dimension.

No, wait...

[sniffing]

th.

-[zapping] -Whoa!

If we can find the shapes and place them into the portal

like a puzzle, the beasts will return home

and the portal will close.

In the meantime, I'll try and hold them off.

Shoo! Get away from those apples!

Okay, team, looks like we're clear.

We need to all work together so we can figure this out.

Or we could compete against each other.

-What? -Excuse me?

Being back-up agents is cool, but now that we see

how cool your van is, we want to be front-up agents.

'Front-up agents"?

It sounded cooler in my head.

How about this: if we solve the case first,

we get your jobs and you get ours.

No way. This is no time for a comp--

-Challenge accepted! -What?!

Where there is a challenge, a challenge must be met.

Let the portal-piece-finding games begin!

...Again, way cooler in my head.

I honestly cannot believe this.

Do not worry, Omar. They will never pull this off.

I have an idea. A triangle goes in the tail.

And the other two make a square.

This is where they fail.

They do not possess the diamond shape.

And a square tilted on its side becomes a diamond!

Like this!

[ding]

[portal whooshing]

[Oppo] Stand back!

[exclaiming]

Woohoo! Now we're gonna find the rest of the shapes!

[Oppo] Yeah!

A minor setback.

There are still two more portals to go.

You know, I could get used to this,

if I wasn't trying to read!

At least we can get some chores done.

-Hand me a house plant. -Okay. Here.

[rain pattering]

-[harp music] -[birds chirping

[both] It stopped!

Let's get to the farm and help the others!

Not so fast!

But we're not under the weather anymore.

This is only the beginning.

You still have to go through

all four seasons before you get better.

Here.

Take two of these and call me when it stops snowing.

-Snow?! -What can I say?

The weather can be unpredictable.

Just like life.

Look at me. I wanted to be a doctor.

-You are a doctor. [doctor] Right!

I meant that I wanted to be a professional go-kart racer.

[wind whistling]

Chilly.

[doctor] You're also gonna need...

a carrot, three pieces of coal, and a top hat.

To help us get better?

No. To build a snowman.

[panting & wheezing]

...It appears we are in some kind of weird gift shop.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I am good without a souvenir.

Behold! A portal piece.

Not so fast.

My name is Gerard, and these are all my crafts.

-Listen up, Gerard-- -Oh, actually, it's "Ger-ard."

I don't pronounce the second "R."

-"Ger-ard." -"Gerard."

-"Gerard." -"Ger-ard."

[all repeating "Gerard" with slightly different inflections]

Okay, you got the "R" part right,

but now you're doing something weird with the "G."

Enough with these name games.

We are Odd Squad, and we need this triangle to close a portal

and send a giant squirrel back to the th dimension.

Okay. Well, if you want it,

then you have to pay full price, just like everyone else.

Fine. How much?

-A million dollars. -One million dollars?!

We don't have that! We don't have that, right?

-We do not have that. -Oh, okay.

Okay, tell you what. If you really want the triangle,

all you have to do is make something

even more beautiful to replace it with.

-[ding] -[Orla] Ah!

What cursed shape is this?

It's a parallelogram, and we don't have it.

A pair of what-a-gram?

[Omar] A parallelogram is a four-sided shape

with two diagonal lines that

run parallel to each other but never touch.

It looks like someone left a rectangle out in the sun.

All we have on us is a square and two triangles.

We're doomed.

Nonsense! Hand me the shapes.

The back-ups used two triangles to make a square,

then tilted it to make a diamond.

So we can combine shapes to make another shape, too.

If we put the square in the middle and the two triangles

on either end, you get what you call the parallelogram!

[squirrel chattering]

-We did it! -Yes! Woo!

We've made one portal, and they've made one portal.

So now we're tied.

we combined triangles to make a square, then a diamond.
