04x03 - The New Ozzie/Bad-Luck-itis

[bunniefuu]

[Orli] My name is Agent Orli,

and this is my partner, Agent Ozzie.

These are my lucky sunglasses.

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]

[wind whooshes]

Whoo!

News time!

[dramatic music]

[bell dings]

[creature growls]

[people cheering]

[Orli] We are "Odd Squad."

[dramatic music]

[vibrant music]

[Captain O] "The New Ozzie."

[page flipping]

Oh hey, thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, sir?

Well, this is my post box.

It's very nice.

The problem is every time I open it,

there's nothing inside.

If you're not receiving letters,

that sounds like a job for the post office, not "Odd Squad."

No sorry, I mean, there'snothinginside.

[abrupt dramatic tone]

See?

A swirling vortex of nothingness.

[vortex humming]

Ah, definitely a job for Odd Squad.

[bell chiming]

Stand back and cover your eyes.

And your ears.

[laser whirring]

Try now please, sir.

[door squeaking]

Hey! [laughing]

Thanks, Odd Squad!

Happy to help.

Have a good day.

This will be about a job I applied for.

-[abrupt dramatic tone] -[vortex humming]

Odd Squad, help!

[logo whooshing]

-Here we are, Opie. -[bell chiming]

[phone ringing in background]

First day running the Department of Help. Are you ready?

I certainly am.

Because if you're not ready,

I could cancel all my important agent duties

to show you the ropes again.

It's fine, I am totally ready.

Great, me too.

Absolutely ready.

Do you have my official Department of Help lanyard?

Oh, yes.

Ah, I still remember when I made this lanyard

and then gave it to myself.

And now you're giving it to me.

[gentle pensive music]

Thank you.

Congratulations, you're officially Head of Help.

Your first duty-- prepare the shepherd's pie.

It's the Odd Squad's shepherd's snack time.

-Morning. -Morning.

-Good morning. -I'm on a case.

Good luck, Opie.

Call me if you need me.

[logo whirring]

A little later.

[Orli] I never thought

you'd actually leave your old job behind, Ozzie.

How'd it go?

So, we're closing a portal?

Yes, so the Planet Eater doesn't come through it.

When you say Planet Eater...

Whoa!

It eats planets.

[Planet Eater rumbling and growling]

And also fish and chips.

Right, let's get to work.

[Ozzie] Ah,

so we're building the gadget that zaps the portal closed.

Onom set that up earlier.

[air whooshing]

[Ozzie] Whoa!

[Onam] Ah, building that was a one-person job.

Putting together the gizmo you use to activate it,

-that's a three-person job. -[exciting ringtone]

I'll just take this call really quickly.

[phone chiming]

Agent Ozzie speaking.

Hi Ozzie, it's me Opie.

So I'm just trying to set up a Lightning Challenge.

A what?

You know, a Lightning Challenge,

where people fire lightning at each other.

But I can't seem to find Onom's...

[gasping] Lightning Gloves!

Never mind, found them.

Opie, listen to me.

-[Opie] All good. -[phone beeping]

No, not all good.

-Opie, what do you-- -[signal beeping]

Uh, would it be alright if I left immediately?

It's a bit of an emergency, a lot of one actually.

Okay, but hurry back! This is a three-person job!

Won't be long!

[sighing] You're quite calm considering, you know.

[Planet Eater rumbling and growling]

Oh, I always work in extra time for things like this.

Picnic?

[fluttering ascending music]

Ooh, delightful!

[logo whooshing]

-[Opie] Nice try, try again. -[lightning blasting]

Whoa, whoa, please stop blasting lightning!

Thank you!

They're never gonna get any better

if you don't let them practice.

Opie, what's going on?

You said to make a shepherd's pie,

but you should have said to make two shepherd's pies

because they are two shepherds.

But, why the Lightning Challenge?

I thought whoever won the Lightning Challenge

could have the shepherd's pie.

Opie, Lightning Challenges

should not be used to solve snack-based disputes.

You can just split the pie in half--

then there's two equal portions, one for each shepherd.

We can use the Halfinator.

It divides objects into two equal pieces.

Try it.

[gentle curious music]

[Halfinator whirring]

See, two pies.

That works.

Thanks, Ozzie.

Anytime.

And no more Lightning Challenges.

[logo whooshing]

I'm back!

[Onom] Now that the three of us are here,

let's get the activation button ready.

We need to get it connected to this dish

before the planet gets eaten.

[exciting ringtone playing]

I'm so sorry.

[phone chiming]

Hi Ozzie, just a quickie.

Where does Onom keep his Laser Gloves?

What?

[Opie] You know, gloves that blast lasers.

I need them for a Laser Challenge.

Opie, why on earth are you--

Never mind, found them!

All good.

No, not all good.

-Opie? -[phone beeping]

[Agent Ozzie sighing]

[phone snapping]

I'm so sorry,

I just need to pop back to Headquarters for a minute.

Now? We're in the middle of a three-person job!

-I know, but-- -No, don't do that!

It's a three-person job!

-Sorry! -Mind the picnic!

[Agent Orli and Agent Onom groaning]

[logo whooshing]

[laser blasting]

[items crashing]

[Ozzie] Stop lasering!

-[laser blasting] -[Agent Ozzie gasping]

Sorry.

Ozzie, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Laser Challenge, of course.

Because four scientists each

asked me for a piece of paper,

but there was only one piece of paper left.

How's there only one piece of paper left

in the whole of Headquarters?

I made origami cranes for everyone, so no more paper.

But Opie--

You said no more Lightning Challenges,

but you didn't say anything about a Laser Challenge, so.

Okay, but why not use the Halfinator, like before?

[Halfinator whirring]

That's just two pieces.

Right, so then you can use the Halfinator again.

If you split these two pieces of paper in half,

you'll have...

[Halfinator whirring]

Four pieces of paper!

[all] Ooh!

Okay, I get it now. I won't call again today.

Opie, no more lasers.

Now, I really have to sort out this Planet Eater.

Okie-dokie.

-[tense suspenseful music] -[logo whooshing]

Oh no!

The rain's getting into my keyboard!

[buttons clicking]

[Ozzie] Sorry, guys!

Get to station two!

Quick, quick, quick!

Don't worry, I think Opie's starting to get it now.

Although just be sure, I might just give her a call.

[both] What?

Ozzie, there's a giant Planet Eater

that's about to swallow our planet,

and if we don't do anything, it'll swallow our planet whole.

Okay.

Ozzie, we need to get this button assembled now!

Alright, grab your activation knob.

When we turn them at the same time,

the transmitter will fire a beam into the portal

and slam it shut.

Okay, ready?

-[both] Ready! -Fire in three, two--

-Sorry! -[air whooshing]

I have just one more question.

[both] No!

Not now, Opie.

It's just a really quick thing.

Ozzie, Planet Eater!

[Onom] Ozzie, we really need to get this button assembled now.

The Planet Eater is right there.

[Planet Eater growling]

[tense suspenseful music continues]

I'll be really, really quick.

Come on, let's go!

[Planet Eater squelching]

Wow, I didn't think he'd actually go.

[bell chiming]

What is that?

A Fish-and-Chips-Inator!

It might hold it off for a little bit.

[Fish-And-Chips-Inator whirring]

[Planet Eater screeching]

[lasers blasting]

[team] One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight!

Opie, I said no Lightning Challenges,

no Laser Challenges.

[Opie] Right, which is why I combined them

into a Laser-Lightning Challenge,

a totally different thing.

Everybody, please put down your laser and lightning.

[Opie] The Odd Squad cheer team

need a flag each-- that's eight flags.

I could only find one huge flag.

Okay, um, did you--

Yup, I used the Halfinator to divide it into two,

just like with the shepherd's pie.

But then did you--

Yup, I used it again to divide those two flags into four--

[air whooshing]

Just like with the paper.

So, if you could just fix this problem?

[pensive ascending music]

No.

Huh? But--

I'm not going to help you, Opie.

I chose you for this job

'cause I knew you were a great helper

who could solve problems.

I am.

I come across a problem, I call you, then you solve it.

But that's not helpingyou.

I need to let you step up.

You've got this, Opie, I believe in you.

Wait, if I halve these four flags,

there'll be eight flags

and that's the number of cheerleaders!

That's it, you've got it.

[Opie] And then I could use the Halfinator again

to make flags, and again to make , and then !

Eight is perfect.

[bell chiming]

[Halfinator whirring]

It worked! I solved it!

[Cheer Team cheering]

Opie, Opie, Opie!

[drums rolling]

♪ One, two, four, eight

♪ Now it's time to celebrate

♪ Two, four, eight, sixteen

♪ Who just saved the cheering team ♪

You're back.

Hi.

I know it looks like I'm having a party, but I can explain.

It's fine, we closed the portal.

The world is saved from the Planet Eater.

So it was a two-person job after all.

[Onom and Orli shuddering]

Oh no, definitely a three-person job.

[air whooshing]

We can try and do this together!

But, we need one more person!

This looks like a three-person job! I can help.

[both] Thank you, sir!

[heroic ascending music]

[machine whirring]

Fire in three, two, one!

-[machine whirring] -[heroic suspenseful music]

[portal whooshing]

-Hooray! -Hooray, whoo-hoo!

[all] ♪ One, two, four, eight

♪ Now it's time to celebrate

-[everyone cheering] -[upbeat rhythmic music]

I joined because bubbles should float

not work in fashion.

I joined because fish should swim,

not fly helicopters.

I joined because this is no way to wear shoes.

[chimes ding]

We are...

We are...

We are...

[all] We are "Odd Squad."

[Captain O] Since the beginning of time,

-and we're talking way back... -[creature growls]

-we've been fighting odd. -[swords clanging]

In our spare time,

we also like to make pictures of ourselves.

I really like this one.

-There's no case too big. -[helicopter engine roaring]

No case too small.

At "Odd Squad," we do it all.

[birds cawing]

And yes, that is a flock of flying toast.

It's wheat bread, if you were wondering.

Join Odd Squad on the PBS Kids Games app

and you'll get top-notch training in the secrets

of Odd Squad, including pie-nado.

What to do in case of a pie-nado. Delicious.

How to fix a leaky force field with your favorite shapes.

Also, watch out for flying cows.

[cow moos]

You can also stream Odd Squad cases

on PBS Kids.

[vibrant music]

Is that over there also a normal British thing?

[thunder claps]

No, that's definitely odd.

Let's do this.

Odd Squad needs you!

And I need keyboard lessons.

[keyboard tones ring]

Oh yes, that sounds fantastic.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

[Captain O] Bad Luck-Itis

[Osgood] Snack cart coming through. Oh yeah, help yourselves.

Hey, Osgood, do you have any chips?

Of course.

-These are french fries. -No, those are chips.

-I meant potato chips. -You meant crisps.

I want chips.

-Crisps. -Chips.

-Crisps. -Chips.

You know what? I'll just have an apple.

[Ozzie] Sorry, sorry I'm late.

I'm having the worst luck this morning.

[chair clatters]

See? The worst luck.

Uh-oh. I know what's happening here.

Did you happen to see a black cat this morning?

-I did. -Did you break a mirror?

-Did that too. -Walk under any ladders?

About of them.

My way to work was blocked,

so I had to go through a ladder factory.

Ozzie, when those exact things happen to someone

in that exact order, they get bad luck-itis.

-Bad luck-itis? -[Captain O] Bad luck-itis?

We need to cure Ozzie before he destroys HQ!

Not to worry, Captain O. I have all the ingredients

for the antidote right here in my recipe book.

How long will it take you to get the ingredients?

Me? I'd have to go on a quest for that,

and I don't do quests anymore.

These days, I like to spend my days in the kitchen

where it's safe and predictable.

Osgood, you go with Orli to search for the ingredients.

-But-- -Now!

[Orli] Come on, this will be fun.

Ozzie, we need you to get to a secure location

until your bad luck-itis is cured.

But why can't I just stay here?

It will only get worse.

Do me a favor and touch your desk.

[desk clatters]

Wow, so this is the Mystic Glade?

Sounds really questy.

Almost too questy.

Maybe we should turn back.

What? No, we need to help Ozzie.

Come on. What's the first ingredient we need?

A blade of magical grass.

How are we supposed to find that?

There's blades of grass everywhere.

Maybe that wizard can help.

I am wizard Wayne, Guardian of the Glade.

Hi Wayne, we're here to collect a magical blade of grass

for an antidote to cure our friend.

Ah, then you've come to the right place.

[spell poofs]

Ooh, nice wizarding.

Whoa, not so fast.

You have to pick the right blade of grass.

Only one's magical, and if you pick the wrong one,

it'll turn you to stone. [laughs]

Seriously?

Sorry, peeps, all part of the job.

I think this might help.

In my book, it says that the magical blade of grass

is inches long.

[Orli] So we need a tool to figure out how long things are.

[Agent Orli grunts]

A ruler? Nice.

Now we just need to measure the blades to get the right one.

Okay, this one's inches.

[Osgood] It's too long.

[mysterious music]

Eight inches, too short.

Let's look for something in between those two sizes.

Ten inches, just right.

Are you sure?

There's only one way to find out. We pick this one.

[grass chimes]

[both] We did it!

[Orli] Bye, Wizard Wayne!

I won't say I'm not disappointed.

A couple of stone statues

would look great next to my rock table.

Agent Orwell, I need you to take Ozzie

to a secure location so his bad luck-itis

doesn't destroy HQ.

I've got just the spot in mind.

-Good job. Carry on. -Right this way, Ozzie.

[regimented music]

We're here. The snuggly pillow room.

All the walls are made of soft snuggly pillows

to keep you and HQ safe.

Nothing bad can happen in here.

[door creaks]

This is my favorite pillow to snuggle with.

Mm, lovely.

Ah, I call it squisha.

Thanks, Orwell. Here I go.

[door creaks]

[puzzling music]

-[objects clattering] -Oh no!

-Sorry! -Ozzie!

Ah.

I just leaned against the wall and it collapsed.

When you say "collapsed,"

do you mean it collapsed

into the rainbow dragon room next door?

-Dragon? -Yep.

Well, that sounds about right,

but I definitely didn't see any dragon.

That's because the dragon's invisible.

-[dragon growls] -Let's go, quick.

The next ingredient is a magic pebble.

Did someone say magic pebble?

For I am wizard Jane, Protector of the Pebbles.

She reminds me a lot of the Guardian of the Glade.

Oh, Wayne? That's my brother.

Taught him everything he knows.

Now, looking for the pebbles, you say?

[Osgood] Yes, that's right.

[spell poofs]

There you go.

Although there is an unexpected twist,

Is it that only one is magical

and if we pick the wrong one, we turn to stone?

Oh, yes! You know, Wayne got the idea from me.

He is such a copycat.

We're gonna have to measure the pebbles too.

On it.

Hang on, it says in my book

that the magic pebble is the same weight

as my Odd Squad badge.

So we need a tool that measures weight,

which is how heavy something is.

Then a ruler won't work

And you'll also have to know how much your badge weighs.

And let me guess, you don't know.

No, we don't know what the badge weighs,

but we have a balance scale.

This will show us which pebble's

the same weight as the badge.

-[puzzling music] -[pebbles clattering]

If the pebble's lower than the badge,

then it means it's heavier.

[puzzling music]

Hmm.

[Orli] When we put this pebble on the other side of the scale,

the two plates are at the same height.

That means the things in each plate are the same weight.

Are you sure?

Yes. We pick this one.

[stone chimes]

[both] We did it!

We didn't turn to stone!

Okay, only one last ingredient left to get.

Nobody ever turns to stone.

[Orli] Bye, Wizard Jane.

Maybe I'll get a gnome instead.

[spell poofs]

The balloon room.

I'm fully confident that your bad luck-itis

will be harmless in here.

-In you go. -I hope so.

[upbeat music]

[balloons popping]

The beach room, I'm even more confident

because there's nothing but soft golden sand. Enjoy.

[upbeat music]

[seagulls squawking]

Ah...

The tide came in.

Custard pie room.

Safe squishy pies as far as the eye can see.

[upbeat music]

-Ah! -[pies squishing]

I gotta say, kind of saw that one coming.

[Captain O] Ozzie, Orwell, there's an invisible rainbow dragon

on the loose.

That's my fault, Captain O.

It's this bad luck-itis.

Which is why we need to get you out of HQ right away.

Oh, we tried that, Captain O.

He broke the tubes.

Broken tubes coming through.

[Captain O sighs] Not to exaggerate,

but you're gonna destroy us all.

[ominous music]

Ahoy, ahoy.

Agent Orli, any luck with the antidote?

We're working on it Captain O.

We just need one last ingredient, magic water.

Hurry.

Osgood, we need to speed things up.

Where is this magic water?

[Wizard] Right here!

-I am Wizard-- -Sorry, but we're in a rush.

I'm guessing you're the wizard of the water,

and your brother Wayne and sister Jane are also wizards.

And your name is... Dwayne?

No, it's Shane actually.

This way. This way.

[gentle music]

[Osgood] We're here for a quart of magic water.

But I'm guessing you won't just let us have it.

That's right!

[spell poofs]

If you take more or less than that, you'll be turned--

[both] Turned to stone.

Seriously?

Are you determined to spoil everything about my day?

Osgood, how do you measure water?

We need liquid measuring containers, like these.

[puzzling music]

Oh no, I forgot my one-quart container.

[Wizard laughs]

I'm really gonna enjoy turning the both of you to stone.

Oh, this is the part of the quest that I don't like.

Everything is about to go wrong.

-No it isn't. -It isn't?

You said in a quest we need to think on our feet.

We may not have the right size container,

But we can use different size containers to get to a quart.

I like where this is heading.

[electronic trilling]

[Osgood] Here's one quart.

A quart is equal to two pints.

And we have two pints here.

So we can fill both to make a quart.

Are you sure?

[both] Absolutely!

-[water trickling] -Careful.

Stop!

[playful music]

[water trickling]

Stop!

[water chimes]

Woo hoo, you did it!

I know I'm not supposed to be happy,

but the two of you work really well together

and I'm proud of you.

Aw, thanks, Wizard Shane.

What a nice family.

It's coming from the east corridor.

Yes, the dragon's coming.

-[dragon growling] -Quick back up.

[Ozzie] Or try this.

-[air bubbling] -[gadget clatters]

[all] Bad luck-itis!

[Orli] Ozzie, Ozzie, we have the antidote! Quickly!

[potion chimes]

Do you think it worked?

-[dragon growling] -One way to find out.

Freezinator!

[dragon growling]

[electronic gadget zaps]

[dragon groans, whimpers]

I did it!

No more bad luck-itis!

[everyone cheers]

Oh, what a day.

[Captain O] Ah, my favorite chair.

[chair clatters]

Yes, I forgot to mention,

bad luck-itis is very contagious.

[playful music]

-[upbeat music] -[typewriter keys clack]

Welcome to the Odd Squad Lab.

This is where scientists like me

get to work on new inventions.

Now you are probably asking, "Onom, what are those things?"

Well, the answer to that is, I have no idea.

This is where we keep all our gadgets.

If you wanna look up a gadget,

the numbers are stored all in here.

But if you can't access my brain,

you can easily find them here.

This is Omelia.

Hi.

Hi.

[upbeat music]

Another cool thing about the lab is that button.

If you push it once...

[button beeping]

you get a bowl of noodles.

But if you push it twice...

[button beeping]

you get two bowls of noodles.

But if you push it three times...

[button beeping]

[dragon growls]

Ugh, you release the evil ice dragon.

[dragon growls]

Omelia, where are you with that ice dragon shield?

[dragon growls]

[vibrant music]

[Orli] Welcome to Odd Squad, Guide to Your Gadgets.

Behold the Toastinator!

It makes toast.

So that's pretty much it.

Push that button and guess what?

It makes toast.

[trumpet fanfare blares]

Toastinator!

How about those graphics, huh?

How are we doing on time? Oh, good.

-Knowledge is power. -[static electricity crackles]

Power is gadgets.

-And gadgets is toast. -[toast crunches]
