OLYMPIA: My name is Agent Olympia.

This is my partner, Agent Otis.

These are black birds singing in the dead of night.

But back to Otis and me.

We work for an organization run by kids that investigates anything strange, weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[♪♪♪] You need to tell me where you are!

[♪♪♪] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

You wanted to see us, Ms. O?

You want to see just one of us?

This isn't how it normally goes.

Yeah, I know.

What's happening?

Sorry I'm late.

Uh, howdy do, agents.

What's happening is Ms. O lost her voice.

[both] Ohh...

But lucky for her, I'm an expert lip-reader.

"There you two are.

Something very cod has happened."

Cod, like the fish?

Odd!

She meant "odd."

How'd you lose your voice?

"A villain stole it."

What?

How is that even possible?

[silent mouthing] No way!

-What's she saying?

-No idea.

[whispering] She's a bit of a mumbler.

"I don't know what villain took it, "but you ned-- need to get it big... back or horrible things will happen."

How horrible could they be?

Ms. O, I released five of the ten villains we were holding.

"Why would you do that?!"

Uh, because Ms. O called me on the phone and told me to?

That wasn't Ms. O.

Cool.

Goin' on break.

"Sound the alarm!!"

Is that a silent alarm?

I don't hear anything.

Oh yeah-- This is Oona talking, by the way.

I've installed a voice activation system all over headquarters.

Nothing will work without Ms. O's real voice!

Hang on.

If a villain was using your voice, why did they release only five of the villains?

Why not all ten?

Unless the villain has a thing for fives... [both] Like Frieda Fiver!

"Well, what are you waiting for?

Grow!"

Oh, it's "go."

It's the R's I'm having the most trouble with.

[Olympia] Weeee!

Woo!

I love the tube!

[♪♪♪] That's Frieda's house-- number five.

[doorbell] I think you might have to ring all five doorbells.

Oh yeah.

[ringing each doorbell] ♪ [final, melodic bell rings] [Otis] Listen up, Frieda.

We know you took Ms. O's voice so you can set five out of ten villains free.

You're guilty as charged, and there's nothing you can say to change our minds.

[natural voice] What about the fact that I don't sound a thing like Ms. O?

That would do it.

And for the record, if it was me, I woulda set all ten villains loose.

But you like fives.

Yeah.

And ten is two groups of five.

Five plus five equals ten!

It's how I live my life.

Five rings on each hand?

That makes ten.

Five bracelets on each wrist?

Ten.

Five earrings in each ear?

Two groups of five.

Five gold decorative thingies?

So sorry to waste your time... High five?

No.

Uh, you might want to leave.

I have to do this five times.

Okay, thanks.

Ooh, my badge phone is ringing.

Check out my new way of answering.

[rapping] When I say hello, you say yellow!

-Hello.

-[deep voice] No.

You're supposed to say "yellow."

[deep male voice] We have another problem.

I think you have the wrong number.

[deep voice] No, it's me, Ms. O. Howdy do!

All the lip-reading was tiring, so I used the voice replace-inator to give Ms. O a new sound.

[deep voice] My juice order never showed up today.

I think the voice thief is behind it.

Head over to Shmumbers Juice Warehouse and check it out.

We're on it, Ms. O.

[rapping] When I say hang up, you say what-what!

...And she's gone.

I don't like this voice.

I want a new one.

No problem.

I'll make you another one.

-The gadget's this way.

-Doors.

Oh.

Right.

The doors are voice-activated too.

[growl] So if you delivered Ms. O's juice boxes, then where are they?

Well I dropped them off at the park like she asked.

Why would Ms. O want her juice boxes delivered to a park?

Hey, beats me, but, uh, that's what she said.

[natural Ms. O voice] Put a box over your head, deliver 50 juice boxes to the park, and don't look around for anyone suspicious.

[beep] Didn't you find those instructions suspicious?

Y'know, now that you mention it, it was strange Ms. O asked for only fifty juice boxes instead of her usual hundred.

Fifty?

-I know who did this.

-Who?

-I'll tell you on the way.

-Why don't you just tell me now?

"The way" is better.

♪ [melodic doorbell ringing] Seems longer this time.

Not you two again!

We're not here for you, Frieda.

We're here for the villain you live with-- your dog, Fido Fifty!

Listen up, Fido.

We know you took Ms. O's voice so you could steal fifty of her hundred juice boxes.

I think you did it because you were sick of drinking water... or so you could sell the fifty juice boxes in return for fifty bones... maybe.

I admit, the reason you took the juice boxes is a little unclear.

Fact is, you're guilty as charged, and there's nothing you can say to change our minds.

[bark] Except that.

[chuckle] He doesn't have Ms. O voice either.

Wrong villain, again.

But it made so much sense.

The villain only ordered fifty juice boxes.

Yes, but Fido would've ordered 100.

He just would've done it in two separate groups.

Huh?

You know how two groups of five make ten?

Well, two equal groups of 50 make 100.

Right, Fido?

[barking] He's not gonna stop 'til he barks 50 times, so you may wanna go.

What now?

We're out of leads.

Okay, let's just take a deep breath.

Ms. O lost her voice.

It's not like headquarters is gonna be destroyed.

[phone ring] Hello?

[Oona] Headquarters will be destroyed if you don't get back with Ms. O's voice.

What?!

Turns out the voice activation system controls everything.

[klaxons] [Englishman's voice] The situation is beyond dire.

Seriously, don't you have any girl voices?

I have a girl SQUIRREL voice.

No.

Agents, you must fix this post-haste.

[yelp] We need to think outside the box.

Or talk to someone inside a box.

Is that Delivery Debbie?

It's hard to tell with a box on her head, but I think so.

It's Olympia and Otis!

[Debbie] Oh... -Oh hi, guys!

Hi!

-What's with the box?

[Debbie] Oh, it's just Ms. O's pizza order.

He meant the box on your head.

Oh, sorry.

[chuckle] I was just following Ms. O's instructions.

She said, "Put this box on your head, deliver this pizza, and don't look around for anybody suspicious."

Weren't those instructions a little suspicious?

No...

But what WAS suspicious was Ms. O's order.

She only ordered half a pizza?

That's it!

Remember when Frieda Fiver was talking about two equal groups, like how two groups of five equal ten?

The real villain has been splitting amounts into two equal groups... And only asking for one group-- or half.

I'm completely lost.

[Olympia] First there were ten villains.

Whoever stole Ms. O's voice released five.

[Otis] That's half.

And instead of ordering Ms. O's usual 100 juice boxes, they only ordered 50.

[Olympia] That's half, too.

[Otis] And the pizza was cut down the middle to make two equal-size pieces, and the villain just wanted one in half... Half, half, half!

I know who stole Ms. O voice.

[knock] [agents] Halvsie Harriet.

Listen up, Harriet.

We know you took Ms. O's voice.

And there's nothing you can say... Actually, can you please just speak so we really know you took it?

[Ms. O voice] It's true.

I took her voice.

[both] Woohoo!

We found it!

Harriet, you're coming with us.

Ugh!

[loud alarm blaring] [loud alarm blaring] Whoa!

Ms. O!

We have your voice!

[Englishman voice] I'm delighted.

Bring it forth!

[scream] [Otis] Halvsie, stay close!

[voice] Duplicate!

Duplicate!

Duplicate!

[Otis] Go right!

No, left!

Duplicate!

Duplicate!

Duplicate!

Duplicate!

Ms. O, what is the voice-activated thing that Harriet has to say to stop all this?

[Englishman] The word she has to say is "stop."

Really?

You couldn't've told us that way back there?

[Ms. O voice] Stop!

[alarm ends] [Englishman] Good work, agents.

Oona, I beg you most fervently to rid me of this voice.

On it, Ms. O.

If you two could stand next to each other, please... [energy hum] [energy hum] [gasp] [real voice] Much better.

So why'd you do it, Halvsie?

[real, high-pitched voice] Aw, listen to this voice.

Whenever I order pizza or juice boxes, people never take me seriously.

What if I gave you a different voice?

[gasp] Yes!

Something a little deeper?

Yes!

Maybe even something European.

Oooh!

[energy hum] [squirrel chitter] How does it sound?

Girl squirrel voice!

♪ [fanfare] ♪ [fanfare] Greetings, agents.

I'm Oscar with today's Odd Report.

-O'Connor?

-[O'Connor] Comin' atcha!

As you can see, we have a salsa front moving in from this way.

Too bad it's not a little lower, because it's gonna miss the giant tortilla chips down here.

That would've been delicious.

Also, we know it's going to be raining cats and dogs.

Good news is we know exactly how many animals are coming our way.

O'Connor, if you could zoom in... -[O'Connor] Zoomin' in!

-Perfect.

So, each one of these big dog clouds rain exactly ten dogs each.

So instead of having to count every individual big dog, we can just count the clouds by ten.

Ten... Woof!

Twenty... Woof!

Thirty... Woof!

-...big dogs.

-[O'Connor] Yeah!

The small dog clouds rain exactly five dogs each, so we can count by fives.

Five... Woof!

Ten... Woof!

Fifteen... Woof!

Twenty... Woof!

-...small dogs.

-[O'Connor] Yeah!

And the cat clouds rain exactly two cats each, so we count by twos.

Two... Meow!

Four... Meow!

Six... Meow!

Eight... [purr] -Aw.

[chuckle] -[O'Connor] Yeah, cats!

So to sum it all up, we're asking all available agents to come to this spot with your dog-and-cat- catch-inators to catch the 30 big dogs... Woof!

Twenty small dogs... Woof!

And eight cats.

Meow.

[O'Connor] Wrap it up!

Also if any agents would like to take any of these animals home as pets that would be great.

See, I would, but I also got my hands full from last week's bunny storm.

I named them all Oscar Junior.

[chuckle] That one's my favorite.

There you are.

Something very odd has happened.

Yes, I'm talking to you, with the shoulders.

Take a look at this.

It's that time of year again.

All of our agents are oddly ill. Help us help them get better at pbskids.org.

Odd Squad needs you!

[♪♪♪] [♪♪] [Ms. O] There you two are!

[grunt] Sorry about that.

There you two are.

Something very odd has happened.

Olympia, you work too much.

You have to go on vacation.

But Ms. O, I love working-- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

How was she worked more than me?

I may have worked a few weekends... ...and night shifts.

But Ms. O, the rule is that I have to go on vacation if I work for 50 days.

I've only worked 49.

The rule is... Wow.

It's really bright in here.

The rule is "about" 50 days.

Anyway, it's up to me to decide.

And in this case, I'm rounding up.

What's "rounding?"

Rounding is when you change a number to make it end with zero to make it easier to use.

Watch.

When you round a number, you look to see which tens is the closest and you round to that.

Forty-nine is closer to fifty, so you round up to fifty.

But if Olympia worked less days, like forty-two, that's closer to forty.

So then you would round down to forty.

But Ms. O, I don't want to go on vacation.

I love working here!

You're going to change your mind once you see the vacation outfit.

[squeal] Ms. O, this changes everything!!

[giggle] Look!

There are wheels on my feet!

The wheels are moving...

The wheels are moving on my vacation!

Bye, everyone!

-So I'm on my own today?

-No.

You're with him.

-Hey, Ohlm.

-You're Ohlm.

Oh yeah... -And her.

-What's up, Sherman?

Orchid and Ohlm are having partner problems.

I need you to help them out.

-Wait, they're partners?

-I was surprised too.

I thought he just liked following me around, like one of those lost furry things.

You mean a puppy?

If I meant puppy, I would've said puppy.

[sigh] They've been stuck on the same case for months.

I need you to help them!

If they don't solve it by end of day, Orchid and Ohlm are going back to the Academy for-- [deep gasp] Sorry, I just realized I hadn't breathed for a while.

I cannot go back to the Academy.

Yeah, who put you charge?!

I'm takin' over.

Who's with me?

Just me then.

[roar] I can't go back, either.

Mostly because I can't find it.

Academy?

Hello?

Academy?

[both] We gotta solve this case!

You can work in the interrogation room.

Ohlm, it's time to breathe again.

[gasp] Thanks, Ms. O.

Good luck... You'll need it.

[Otis] Okay, if we're going to solve this case, let's start off with what we know.

I know how to work a vacuum cleaner.

-He's really good at it.

-I also know how to mop.

I mean about the case.

[sigh] According this report, a mysterious villain is stealing stuff around town and leaving behind a symbol.

Yes, I drew a picture of it.

Looks like two arrows.

I bet the Double Arrow villain did this.

-Yes!

How do we find him?

-You can't.

I just made him up.

Let's focus on stuff that's real.

What did the villain steal?

I also drew a picture of all that stuff too.

Championship flags... Watermelon slices... And "yield" signs.

I also drew a picture of what I think the future's gonna look like.

[Otis] [sigh] You can keep that one.

-Yes!

-Hold on.

Does anyone see a pattern here?

Yeah, Ohlm is spending way too much time drawing.

Yes, but also, everything the villain stole is triangle-shaped.

I know a villain that goes after triangles!

Let's go.

O'Riordan, send us to Triangle Sue's house.

Should I tell you that I flunked my Tube Travelling Test now or later?

-You can't go in the tubes?!

-Me either.

Great.

You flunked your test too?

No, I passed.

Just when they gave me my license, I tore it up.

I have a problem with authority.

If you both lost your license, how're we supposed to get anywhere?

[both] This is awesome!

[Ohlm] Otis, step on the gas!

-There is no gas.

-Aw.

[♪♪♪] [agents] Odd Squad!

Stop right there, Triangle Sue!

Oh, whoa!

What is this?

Uh, we're Odd Squad agents and-- Hang on, we just gotta get untangled.

Ohlm, you have to go under.

-Over!

-No, under!

-Orchid... -I don't move.

[Otis and Ohlm muttering and struggling] Triangle Sue, we know you've been stealing triangles around town.

I didn't do it!

I'm into circles again.

Triangles are too pointy-- especially because I've got a little Sue on the way.

It's a boy named Sue.

[chuckle] You're bluffing.

No, I'm honest!

Look!

Circle crackers... Circle coasters... How many of these do I have to do?

One more would be nice.

At least one more.

Circle picture frame... Alright, you're cleared.

Also, I'm a victim here.

There were TWO circle chairs in that corner.

Also, the victim totally messed up my floor!

I don't get it... First the villain is stealing triangles, now the villain is stealing circles?

Hey Otis, if it helps, I just drew a picture of how confused you look.

Sorry for disturbing you.

It's time to go.

-To lunch?

-Back to the interrogation room!

-YOU'RE an interrogation room.

-What...?

So the villain isn't going after triangles or just circles.

There's gotta be another pattern.

-Where's Ohlm?

-Getting snacks.

And he better not come back empty-handed.

-I came back empty-handed.

-Why?!

It's not my fault your order was wrong.

My order is perfect!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What happened?

Orchid said to get eighteen apples and fifteen hot chocolates from the break room.

But Oksana only hands them out in groups of ten.

Orchid, does Ohlm have to get you the exact amount of snacks you want?

As long as he brings me somethin'.

[Otis] So Ohlm, just round up or down to the nearest ten.

[Ohlm] What's rounding?

[Otis] This is rounding.

Look, here's a number line from ten to twenty.

Eighteen's closer to twenty, so you can round up to twenty apples.

What about the fifteen hot chocolates?

It's right in the middle.

If a number ends in five, you give it a nudge and round up.

So fifteen becomes twenty hot chocolates.

Alright, I'll go back down there.

Ohlm, stay.

We have to focus.

If we don't solve this, you're both going back to the Academy.

[♪♪♪] Alright.

We looked at shapes.

Why don't we look at numbers?

The villain stole two of these, four of these, two of these, and four of these.

The villain is only stealing even numbers!

Even what?

An even number's an number that can be equally split into two groups.

And four and two are both even.

We did it!

We solved the case!

No, we didn't solve it.

This is just a good clue.

I know who did it.

Please don't make up another villain.

I got nothin' then.

I've an idea-- Even Steven.

He loves even numbers!

Looks like we have to pay him a visit.

[♪♪♪] [agents] Odd Squad!

Odd Squad!

Stop right there, Even Steven!

Whoa, what is this?

Hang on.

We're just gonna get untied.

No, no... Maybe the back?

Actually, we're gonna stay tied.

Hey, however you wanna do it, I'm just glad you're here.

Wait, you're happy to see us?

Yeah, a villain struck my house and ruined my floor!

[Otis groans] Let me guess.

He stole stuff?

-No, he added stuff.

-Huh?

Yeah, I was slicing these pears for a fruit salad, and all of the sudden I had all this extra fruit.

Can we go over the numbers here?

What was added?

Sure.

I had six pineapples, then he gave me four more.

I had eight cantaloupes, and got two more.

I'm gonna have leftovers.

I don't want leftovers!

First things were disappearing, now the villain is adding stuff?

This case is all over the place.

-Did we solve it yet?

-No, Ohlm, we didn't.

We're going back to headquarters.

-This way.

-This way.

-This way!

-No, it's this way!

Everyone go this way.

Okay, guys, let's go over all the information again.

Guys?

What're you doing?

We turned our badges in to Ms. O.

No, there's still time left in the day to solve this thing.

Sherman, I really appreciate what you're doing for us, but it's no use.

We're clearly not good enough to work at Odd Squad.

Look, there was a bunch of times when Olympia and I couldn't solve something, but you've just gotta stick with-- Sherman, it's done.

I'd be lying if said I wasn't gonna miss this old face.

You mean "old place?"

No.

I meant your face.

It's old.

But I'll miss Odd Squad, too.

Here's a picture I drew of our day together.

[Otis] Why's it all tens and zeroes?

Because that's what's been happening all day.

Yeah, you didn't notice that?

Look.

Coach Roberts started with four flags, but they were taken.

So that brought him down to zero flags.

And four watermelon slices also went down to zero.

And Triangle Sue's two chairs-- back down to zero again.

And Even Steven started with six pineapples and got four more, which makes ten.

Also his eight cantaloupes-- and he got two more, which makes ten again.

Tens and zeroes everywhere.

Welp, guess it's back to the Academy.

-No!

You solved it.

-[both] What?

[Otis] What you did was rounding, and that's what the villain's been doing all day.

So all we need to do is find a villain that loves rounding!

-Randy Rounding!

-That sounds made up.

-No, it's a real guy.

-[Otis] C'mon.

Yeah, I did it... Oof!

[grunt] Would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for these three amazing agents.

These two are the ones that solved it.

Good work, agents.

You're back on the force.

I think you guys are gonna be okay.

-Thanks, Sherman.

-Did we solve the case yet?
