04x04 - The Triangle Sisters/Miss Information

[bunniefuu]

[Orli] My name is Agent Orli.

And this is my partner, Agent Ozzie.

This is my favorite band.

Back to us.

We work for an organization run by kids

that investigates anything strange, weird,

and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[dramatic music]

[bubbles popping]

[child yells]

News time!

[animal growls]

[group cheers]

[Orli] We are Odd Squad.

[investigative music]

[Captain O] "The Triangle Sisters."

[light music]

♪ Doodly do, it's my paperwork song ♪

And now Orli's here, so I'd stop singing.

I have so much paperwork to do.

So maybe now's a good time to take a break

and get some pizza from Osgood because it's pizza day!

No, I have to sort these files.

Although I might treat myself

and order them alphabetically instead of my case number.

Excuse me?

Allow me.

[upbeat music]

Done.

Now pizza time?

Okay.

Let's go.

[Captain O] Orli, Ozzie, in my office now.

Do you think we have time to get some pizza?

Absolutely not.

Something very odd has happened.

There's an odd theft at the museum.

Oh, wait a minute.

That's my pizza. [sighs]

Here's the case file.

We're on it, Captain O.

[Orli] Quick question.

Is there much pizza left?

Plenty.

Cheese, pepperoni, and Osgood's specialty--

mint chocolate chip pizza.

Wait, is mint chocolate chip pizza popular over here?

Not at all. Let's go.

[guard] Follow me this way. Have a look at this.

[Ozzie] What exactly was stolen?

Everything that was square.

Hmm.

So any shape with four equal sides

and four equal corners?

Exactly. All the square paintings are gone.

[air whooshing]

They even took the square door.

But they left all the paintings

and objects that are other shapes?

[Orli gasps]

Do you happen to have a security camera

that might have recorded the theft?

Yes. They didn't steal that 'cause it's rectangle.

Unfortunately, it only shows them at the door.

Look.

[Ozzie] I know these villains.

It's the Triangle Sisters.

Orli, let's go pay them a visit.

Before or after pizza?

Tammy, my dear sister.

Odd Squad is here to see us.

Odd Squad. How delightful.

What brings you here?

We saw footage of you at the museum yesterday evening.

So we know you stole all the square

paintings from the museum.

Ew, ew! Ew ew, ew, ew!

-Squares? -Yeah, ew, ew, ew, ew.

Trina and I are the triangle sisters.

We only like triangles.

[Trina] Like this painting here.

Three sides. That's a triangle.

Their sides can be any length

just as long as there's three of them.

Look around.

And yet, you accuse us.

[crying] It makes me so sad.

Oh dear Tammy. Oh dear.

But then why were you at the museum yesterday evening?

I left my handkerchief there, so I had to go and get it.

[Tammy cries]

When it was closed.

Tammy needs lots of handkerchiefs for the crying.

So much crying.

And there was no door, so we assumed it was open.

Wait, you're saying the door was already

gone when you arrived?

Oh yes.

-Really? -Really.

-Really? -Really.

-Really? -Really.

-Really? -Really.

Really?

I'm gonna jump in real quick to help move this along.

Ozzie. There's no evidence they stole the squares.

So we should go.

[Trina] Might you do us a small favor first before you leave.

It's the least you can do since you falsely accused us.

-Sure. -Does this sound in tune?

[triangle dings]

[Trina vocalizing off-key]

Yep. Sounds great.

But we better be off now. Bye.

You're such a talent.

Thank you.

[triumphant music]

So we need to find a villain that steals squares.

According to Orwell,

all the square villains are out of town

on a tour of town squares.

Oh, we hit a dead end.

I have an idea.

Let's have a quick break

and think about this over some pizza

before all the good flavors run out.

No, there's no time to relax.

Go for Ozzie.

The pentagons have been stolen.

The what?

All the pentagon-shaped paintings are gone,

including the other door, which was also a pentagon.

Pull up a pentagon.

That's any shape with five sides and five corners.

[Ozzie] So you didn't see who it was?

No, I closed the museum at lunchtime

so I can feed my cats.

So we're looking for a pentagon villain.

-Not exactly. -What?

I just sent you some security footage that might help.

-Thank you. -[beep]

It's the Triangle Sisters again.

But who's that third person?

I don't know, but we're going to find out.

Hey Ozzie, hey Orli.

Just a heads up.

All the pepperoni pizza's gone,

but there's some cheese left.

Oh, and plenty of mint chocolate chip.

Ozzie. Maybe we should get some cheese pizza for the road.

No, there's no time.

We have to go.

When will you learn, Osgood.

No one wants mint chocolate chip pizza.

Let's cut to the chase, Trina and Tammy.

Who are you working with?

[both gasp]

Someone who likes pentagons.

[Tammy crying]

There you go, setting dear Tammy off again.

And now you bring sweet Tess into it?

[both] Who's Tess?

She's our other sister.

Hello, Odd Squad.

But she's not wearing triangles.

I love triangles,

but I happen to have other interests,

like playing the clarinet.

[clarinet trills]

But why were you at the museum

if you weren't stealing pentagons?

After we retrieved Tammy's handkerchief,

I accidentally left my triangle pencil there.

And I decided to help Trina get it back

because it's a very special pencil,

and that's what sisters do.

And when we turned up, the door was gone.

So we assumed we were allowed in.

And you're saying the door definitely wasn't stolen by you.

Why would we steal a pentagon-shaped door?

We only like triangles.

Isn't that right, Tissaia?

[both] Who's Tissaia?

-Me. -She's our other sister.

Are you going to accuse her now as well?

-Nope. -Nope.

We are willing to forgive and forget

as long as you'll do us another favor.

Fine. What is it?

Tissaia, hit it.

[off-pitch music]

Can you hear my beautiful singing voice over her guitar?

[off-key warbling]

They're the Triangle Sisters.

They only like triangles.

But so far only squares and pentagons have gone missing.

Hi.

Why aren't you at the museum?

Well, I closed up for my -minute afternoon nap,

and you'll never guess what happened.

They came back and stole a different shaped door?

Oh, you did guess what happened.

Yes. It was a rectangle door.

Hmm. A rectangle.

A shape with four sides, four angles,

and opposite sides are equal length.

And you'll never guess what happened next.

Stole everything that was a rectangle shape?

Oh, you guessed that too.

But why did you come here instead of calling us?

'Cause there's nothing left to guard at the museum.

They even took my rectangle-shaped tablet.

Now I can't take pictures of my cats.

Use this.

Ooh.

Say cheese!

[camera clicks]

Oh, Tiddles is gonna love this.

I think we need to take a break.

No, I'm not giving up.

It's not giving up. It's just taking a break.

Five minutes away from a problem

can give you a fresh perspective on how to solve it.

And what better way to take a break than with pizza?

Pizza!

Osgood?

Osgood, please, please,

tell me you still have some pizza left.

Absolutely, you can have

all the mint chocolate chip pizza you like.

-Delicious. -Yuck.

You won't like it.

Either way, we're having a pizza break.

Take a seat.

Thanks, Osgood.

Enjoy.

Well, here we go.

Stop.

I'm confused.

You wanted pizza all day but now you don't want it?

These slices are triangles.

[Ozzie] Okay?

Two of them can make a square

when they're arranged like this.

What does this have to do with--

And four of them make a rectangle.

Oh, I get it now.

And three of them make a pentagon.

These are the same shapes that were stolen

from the museum.

Squares, pentagons, and rectangles.

And they can all be made with triangles.

So it was the Triangle Sisters!

They tricked us into thinking that it wasn't them

when all along they were stealing shapes

that could be made out of triangles.

I guess a pizza break was what we needed after all.

Let's go.

[off beat music]

[both] Odd Squad! Odd Squad!

Stop right there!

We're in the middle of a rehearsal.

Can this not wait?

to make other shapes to steal from the museum.

Ugh, you got us, Odd Squad.

I'm relieved. All that fake crying really dried my eyes up.

We're sorry for lying to you

and for stealing from the museum.

-Sorry. -Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Sorry.

And?

And we're going to return everything.

But not before we do you a favor

to prove how sorry we are.

-Oh no. -That's not necessary.

-You really don't have-- -Hit it, girls.

♪ We really mean it, we're so sorry ♪

♪ Never again will we take another shape ♪

I don't know what's weirder.

This song or mint chocolate chip pizza.

This song. Definitely this song.

[all] ♪ Sorry, sorry, sorry

Oh, I love a triangle.

[air whooshing]

[belt squeaks]

[badge squeaks]

I joined because ice cream should be cold, not angry.

I joined because caterpillars

should turn into butterflies, not history teachers.

I joined because cat food shouldn't argue with you.

[cat food] Yes it should.

No it shouldn't.

[cat food] Yes it should.

We are...

We are...

We are...

We are...

[all] "Odd Squad."

[Captain O] Since the beginning of time,

and we're talking way back,

we've been fighting odd.

In our spare time,

we also like to make pictures of ourselves.

I really like this one.

There's no case too big, no case too small.

At Odd Squad, we do it all.

And yes, that is a flock of flying toast.

It's wheat bread, if you are wondering.

Join Odd Squad on the PBS Kids Games app

and you'll get top notch training in the secrets

of Odd Squad, including Oddstacle Course.

How to overcome odd and what to do when your high tech van

turns into a giant snail.

We'll show you how to use giant jelly beans

to reach new heights and get ahead.

Odd Squad will also teach you

when to go fast and when to slow down

and smell the odd.

You can also stream "Odd Squad" cases

on PBS Kids.

Is that over there also a normal British thing?

[electricity buzzing]

No, that's definitely odd.

Let's do this.

Odd Squad needs you.

And I need some me time.

[sighs] Much better.

Now, what are you waiting for?

Go!

[Captain O] "Miss Information."

Ozzie, Orli, in my office now!

Oh, they're not here, Captain O.

Turtles and tofu.

Where are they?

They are on another case.

Do you want me to call them back?

No. I've got a better idea.

Orwell, Onom, in my office now.

Was she being serious?

Very serious. Hurry.

Something very odd has happened.

What is it?

Well, it's a three-part problem.

Part one, the town mayor has been covered in syrup.

Oh, so sorry. Good morning.

Part two of the problem,

the town mayor doesn't want our help.

Then why is he here?

We've been friends for a very long time,

so I thought you should hear it directly from me.

People are saying Odd Squad can't be trusted anymore.

[both] Seriously?

Which brings us to part three.

Take a look at this.

[Miss Information] Good morning.

I'm Miss Information and this is "Villain News."

News for villains by villains.

Our headline today-- Odd Squad can't be trusted.

Who says?

I bet you're wondering who would say such a thing?

Well, I asked people all over town

is Odd Squad doing a good job?

And their answer was a thumbs down.

Whooooop!

No.

And here's a bar graph to prove it.

The bar with the thumbs down is way taller

than the bar with the thumbs up.

This means way more people gave a thumbs down.

The public doesn't trust Odd Squad.

See, I'm sorry, Odd Squad, but I'm going to have to leave.

My feet are stuck to the floor.

Just one second.

Oh!

Ha ha!

There.

I can't believe so many people gave Odd Squad

a thumbs down.

Look at that graph!

Wait!

There's something wrong about this graph,

-and I can prove it! -Great!

But how do we get that information to everyone in town?

Easy. Build me a fully functional

professional TV studio.

-Ooh. -Yeah.

Places everyone!

We're going live in three, two, one!

Di di di di di di, news time!

Thank you.

[metal clinks]

Ahoy, Ahoy. I'm Captain O.

And I'm Agent Orwell.

You might have seen this graph

shared by Miss Information earlier.

It says that the public doesn't trust Odd Squad anymore

and has given us the thumbs down.

[gasps] I don't believe it.

And you'll be right not to,

because Miss Information's bar graph is wrong.

[Orwell] Look at the numbers along the Y axis.

[Captain O] The number is at the bottom

and the number zero is at the top.

That's wrong.

This is not how bar graphs are supposed to work.

Wah wah.

This is what the bar graph should look like.

Small numbers are at the bottom,

bigger numbers are at the top.

When we draw the graph properly, the big bar shows

that people actually do trust Odd Squad

and has given us the thumbs up,

-whereas this one... -[Captain O] Does not.

Wah wah. Again.

Thank you for watching.

Odd Squad is officially back in business.

I'm so upset with Odd Squad right now.

You're upset?

All I wanted to do was syrup the whole town

without Odd Squad stopping me.

Maybe I was never meant to be a villain.

Listen to me, Sir Rup.

I am your big sister and if you want to syrup up

the whole town, I'll make it happen.

But how?

Time to make some more news.

I saw your broadcast, Captain O.

I'm so sorry I doubted you.

Would you please zap me with the unsyrup-o-nator?

Of course.

Captain O? You might want to take a look at this.

Welcome back to "Villain News." I'm your host, Miss Information.

We've carried out a brand new survey

asking people how they feel about Odd Squad.

And here are the results.

This time the numbers on the Y axis go from small

at the bottom to big at the top.

But as you can see, the thumbs down bar is still higher.

The public still doesn't trust Odd Squad.

Do you?

Maybe I don't need Odd Squad after all.

But you're covered in sticky syrup!

Captain O, there's something strange about this graph.

Oh yeah.

[Captain O] You're right.

I know what's going on here.

I need the TV studio back. Now.

Lights, camera, action.

News time, news time, news time.

Ahoy, Ahoy, I'm Captain O.

And I'm Agent Orwell.

Once again, Miss Information

had broadcasted a misleading graph.

She said her graph showed what people think of Odd Squad.

But let's look at the actual question she asked.

Which you need a magnifying glass to read,

because it's so tiny.

"Should Odd Squad leave town?"

So that means the tall bar on the right actually shows

most people gave a thumbs down to Odd Squad leaving town.

They want us here solving oddness for them,

which we are happy to do.

Thank you for watching. Odd Squad is once again...

[both] Back in business.

And some syrup for you.

[syrup splats]

And some syrup for you.

[syrup splats]

And some syrup for you.

Hello?

Bad news. The latest graph didn't work.

Captain O has been broadcasting her pesky facts again.

All right, new plan.

How about instead of the whole syruping the town plan

I just use my fallback option

and open my own pancake restaurant?

What? No.

Sir Rup, it's my duty as your big sister

to help you achieve your dream of syruping the town.

And I have one more trick up my sleeve.

I thought you were great co-host.

Well, I do have a easygoing charm.

I'm just glad people trust Odd Squad again.

Odd Squad, stay away from me.

I don't want your help.

But you've been syruped.

You can't get the letters through the letterbox.

Yeah, that seems like a real problem for a postwoman.

Besides, you proved that Miss Information's bar graph

is wrong.

Well, I thought you did too.

But she's back on TV saying she's got total proof

that no one trusts Odd Squad.

-What? -What?

See for yourself.

[Miss Information] I have total proof that no one trusts Odd Squad.

And this time I'm inviting Captain O to debate me.

Come to the studio, Captain O,

and try to prove me wrong!

[Miss Information laughs]

I wonder if Captain O's seen this.

[Captain O] There you two are! I saw everything.

Come on, let's go.

Captain O. Welcome to the show.

It is not my pleasure to be here.

Well, it's about to get worse.

Take a look at the results of our new new survey.

The tiny bar represents people

who gave Odd Squad a thumbs up

while the huge bar represents people

who gave Odd Squad a thumbs down.

Okay, but did you ask--

Yes, the question we asked was,

is Odd Squad doing a good job?

Okay, but do the numbers--

Yes, the numbers at the side go from zero at the bottom

to a hundred at the top, see?

Only one person gave Odd Squad a thumbs up while

gave a thumbs down.

So the smaller bar on the left represents the one,

and the larger bar on the right represents the !

Just the way you wanted it.

I don't understand. This graph seems right.

You heard it here first. Captain O said it seems right.

Could you excuse me for a moment?

Take all the time you need.

Oh, [chuckles] so sorry for you.

This is bad news for Odd Squad.

Really bad news.

Up here!

I was ready to start trusting Odd Squad again,

but not if you can't prove Miss Information's

new graph is wrong.

I did write that in a letter, but it got stuck to my face.

So now I'm just telling you.

What if we talk to all the people who answered the survey

and tell them that they can trust us?

Onom, that's it!

The people who answered the survey!

Would one of you mind pulling this envelope off my face?

Ow!

Fire away.

Who were the people surveyed?

Oh, that's not important.

I'd say it's extremely important.

Who were they?

Villains.

Sorry?

Ahem. Villains.

Pipe up.

Your viewers need to hear.

Oh, all right. Villains!

The hundred people surveyed were all villains.

[laughs maniacally]

Aha!

Obviously villains wouldn't think Odd Squad

was doing a good job.

Fine. You win.

Everyone loves Odd Squad.

There, I said it.

Show is over.

Nice work, Captain O.

Thank you.

It's this, it's mine.

Thanks.

It makes complete sense that out of villains

would give Odd Squad a thumbs down.

But who was the one villain that gave us thumbs up?

That was me.

I think you all do a great job.

I'm Sir Rup, by the way.

Yeah, we guessed.

Sir Rup, are you sure you're a villain?

I'm not sure the villain lifestyle is for me,

which is why I've decided to open my own pancake restaurant.

[all cheer]

And I'm inviting you all!

Ah, thank you so much!

Great to have you back again, Odd Squad.

I would clap for you,

but my hands are completely stuck together.

[sighs]

Not anymore.

[hands clapping]

We're still live.

We're still recording. Yep.

How do I look?

How do I look?

-You look good. -Okay.

Thank you for watching.

Odd Squad is finally...

[all] Back in business.

[upbeat music] [typewriter keys clack]

Ahoy there.

And welcome, land lovers to my office,

where I, Captain O,

keep Odd Squad running ship shape.

I made sure this place had everything I had at sea with me,

including this trusty instrument.

[accordion music]

Now these might look like normal fish,

but do you know they also sing sea shanties?

♪ It's hard to be a goldfish swimming round and round ♪

♪ Going nowhere

Having my own office means I sometimes feel

a little far away.

That's why I have this telescope from my days at sea

so I can see what my agents are up to.

There they are. Running around.

Captain O, help!

Shouting for my help.

Coming, agents!

[triumphant music]

[Orli] Welcome to Odd Squad: A Guide to Your Gadgets.
