0:00:02 > 0:00:03My name is agent Olive.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05This is my partner, agent Otto.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07This is my lucky pencil.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09But back to Otto and me.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12We work for an organisation run by kids
0:00:12 > 0:00:14that investigates anything strange,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17weird and especially odd.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Our job is to put things right again.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Who do we work for? We work for...
0:00:38 > 0:00:42CLOCK TICKS
0:00:47 > 0:00:50CLOCK TICKS
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Hiccup!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Yep, those are exploding hiccups all right.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03We've got just the thing.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Drink some of this, it get's rid of them every time.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Thank you, Odd Squad.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Now, if you'll excuse us.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Hiccup!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Uh-oh!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- Hiccup! - CAR ALARM BEEPS
0:01:29 > 0:01:30BAAAA!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Incoming!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Morning, agents. - BOTH:- O'Brien.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Hey, Olive, I know we've only been working together
0:01:46 > 0:01:48for a little while now,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50but it's my birthday tomorrow.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Otto's turning ten.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Ten?
0:01:57 > 0:01:58Too tall for ten.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'm short for 12.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03And I'd be happy to go.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Oh, quiet day at the Squad.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Olive! Otto! In my office, now!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28At least Ms O's in a better mood than usual.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Rrrarrgghhh!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39What's the problem, Ms O?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Something very odd has happened.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Question, who's that guy?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Oh, that's Glen.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48He's opening a new cupcake shop in town.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'm going to have one million, billion, trillion flavours.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Chocolate with vanilla frosting, vanilla with chocolate frosting,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56chocolate butterscotch with ketchup centres...
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Thank you, Glen.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I'll just leave my box right here.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04As I was saying...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Here's the photo of the giant ball of gum in the town museum.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13It's made up of 1,000 wads of chewed bubble gum.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Except, this morning, shrunk down to one wad.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18BOTH GASPS
0:03:18 > 0:03:20And the sign is different too.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24There used to be three zeros after that one.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Why did the ball of gum shrink from 1,000 wads
0:03:27 > 0:03:29to one wad?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I have a hunch what's happening, but I need more evidence.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34What are you waiting for? Go!
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'm getting too young for this.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43COMPUTER BEEPS
0:03:43 > 0:03:45O'Brien, send us to Polly Graph.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Preparing to squish-inate.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Squish-inating.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Hold on, I'm not ready yet!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Sorry.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Ahh!
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Hey, Olive. Hey, Otto.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Here's your usual.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Thanks, Polly.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Ah, perfect.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Say, there's some odd stuff going on around town.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Have any graphs that might help us out?- Let me see.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37This is a bar graph showing how much money I make
0:04:37 > 0:04:39selling hot chocolate.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I haven't made much today. I'm never, ever going to get that pony.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Maybe because the price of your hot chocolate has gone down.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Five cents?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50But it used to say 50 cents.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Five, zero.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53What happened to the zero?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Same thing that's happening to zeros all around town -
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- they're disappearing.- Huh!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Nooooo!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Wait. Why is that a problem?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Zero stands for nothing, so nothing is the matter.- Uh-uh.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14A zero only means nothing when it's by itself.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17But take Polly's marshmallows, for example.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27This is 1,000 marshmallows.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Right now there's a one in the thousand's place
0:05:29 > 0:05:31and a zero in the hundred's place,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34the ten's place and in the one's place.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37But take away one zero...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40..the one moves to the hundred's place
0:05:40 > 0:05:43and it becomes 100.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46But lose one more zero,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48the one moves to the ten's place.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49That's ten.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Take away the last zero, that's just one,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55which is why the ball of gum shrunk from 1,000 wads of gum
0:05:55 > 0:05:58to one wad.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01But why would zeros just disappear?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06You know you've got to pay for that, right?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Sounds like we've got ourselves a number-hog.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Both: A what?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14A number-hog.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Oscar can explain.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Where is he?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19O-s-c-a-r!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Hey, guys. So a number-hog is someone who uses up a number
0:06:23 > 0:06:26so much that they start sucking up all that number.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, say you like the number four.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30If you like four, four, four, four, four, four, four, four
0:06:30 > 0:06:34four, four, four, four and then...
0:06:34 > 0:06:38HE GARGLES
0:06:40 > 0:06:43So if we don't find our number-hog, he's going to suck up
0:06:43 > 0:06:45all of the zeros in the world?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Wait, if we don't fix the zero problem...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52I'm not turning ten tomorrow.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Otto's turning...
0:06:58 > 0:06:59One!
0:06:59 > 0:07:02But I don't want to turn into a baby.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04No offence, agent Orson.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Agent Otto, listen.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Somehow, some way, we will find that number-hog.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17If we have to climb the highest mountains,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19or swim the deepest ocean, we will...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Or, you could just use my number-hog finder.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24That will work.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Come on, partner.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Agent Orson, I want that report on my desk by five.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Here we are, eight Main Street.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45But where's the number-hog?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I don't know. This is where the gadget said to go.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49It's over.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Tomorrow I'm going to be in diapers.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54What are we missing?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Unless something is missing from the directions.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- Both:- Zeros!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02The directions are missing zeros because zeros are disappearing.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Stop speaking in time with me. You stop!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09So, how do we figure out the real directions?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Otto, I can't hold it in any more.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14I really have to go to the maths room.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Me too.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Greetings, agents.- Hi, Maths Room.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30OK, so eight Main Street wasn't right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Well, what if we add one zero?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So the eight from the one's place moves to the ten's place to
0:08:35 > 0:08:37make 80 Main Street.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Generating 80 Main Street.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- The town lake?- Let's see what happens
0:08:43 > 0:08:45when we add two zeros.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48So the eight moves to the hundred's place to make 800.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Generating 800 Main Street.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56A cupcake shop?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Wait. Remember that cupcake guy in Ms O's office?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03He was going to have one million, billion, trillion flavours.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Generating the number one million,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08billion, trillion.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13That's a lot of zeros.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- He must be the number-hog!- Let's go.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28So many zeros.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30SHOP DOOR RINGS
0:09:30 > 0:09:33BOTH: Odd Squad, Odd Squad! Stop right there, number-hog!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Number-hog?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- There's the zeros.- Get them!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Partner, partner, that's enough.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Ooh, may I?- Sure, sure.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00They did it. Look, everyone, the zeros are coming back!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Good work, agents.- Thanks, Miss O.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Otto's turning ten, woohoo!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I had no idea I was a number-hog. I'm so embarrassed.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It's OK, it happens to the best of us.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21How am I going to get people to visit my cupcake shop now?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You know, I do need cake for my party.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Happy Birthday, agent Otto.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Thanks, partner.- Plain cupcake, no frosting.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Oh, that's me.- Looks good.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Glad to have you on the squad, Otto.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43You're so much better than Olive's last partner.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Who was her last partner?- Eh...
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Look at agent Orson, out of control as usual.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Crazy...baby.
