The Briefcase Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olive. This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is my lucky pencil.

But that's Otto and me.

We work for an organisation run by kids

that investigates anything strange,

weird and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

My office is on the second floor, but every time I try to go there...

-..this happens.

-Whoa!

I'm so late for work.

I have an idea.

Use the elevator.

-Thanks, Odd Squad.

-Have a good day. Let's go.

DING

-BOTH:

-Oh, no. Odd Squad!

HE WHINNIES

SHE SLURPS HER DRINK

-You wanted to see us, Ms O?

-Yes.

-I need you to go to a playground in the park.

-Sweet!

I'm not finished.

-Oh.

-Disguise Dan will meet you and give you a briefcase.

That briefcase is very important. Bring it back to me immediately.

No questions asked.

What's in the briefcase?

That would be an example of a question.

NOW I'M FINISHED. GO.

Hey, Olive, when you're in the tubes,

does it feel like your insides get mixed up and turned around?

That's because when you're in the tubes your insides do get

mixed up and turned around.

Oh, that makes sense.

So, where is this Disguise Dan?

Right here!

-Nice doing business with you.

-You, as well.

So...what do you think is inside?

We're not supposed to ask questions. Remember?

Ah-ha! That was a question!

Fine.

It's locked.

No sound.

Maybe if I weighed it?

It's sort of heavy,

lightish...

Partner, if we're going to weigh it, we're going to weigh it right.

HE CUCKOOS

-This seesaw is like a balance scale.

-A what?

A balance scale.

It lets you compare the weight of two different things.

Right now, the briefcase is lower.

That means it's heavier than this rock and traffic cone.

But if we add more weight to this side...

-Where did the pineapple come from?

-Hawaii!

Closer. I just need to add a little more weight to the lighter side.

Allow me.

Good.

Both sides are equal. The scale is balanced.

So, that means Ms O's briefcase weighs the same as the rock,

my shoe, the traffic cone and your pineapple.

-Do you know what's inside now?

-No idea.

-Great job, sweeties.

-Ms O!

I'll take it from here.

Erm... Are you sure?

You bet, you little cutie. And you - such a face.

Why don't you take the rest of the day off

for being so adorable? Toodles!

I think she's starting to warm up to me.

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Where's my briefcase?

Ms O? But we just gave it to you.

That's impossible! I'm in my office.

Then, who's that?

We've got trouble, partner.

SHE GROWLS

-Whoa!

-Otto, meet the Shape Shifter.

Hi!

She's always stealing from Odd Squad.

So, Shape Shifter, you can change shape into anything? Like a chair?

Or a bike? Or a rocket?

Great idea!

I'm a rocket! I'm a rocket!

-Oopsies!

-Let's go.

Why didn't I say snail?!

SHE GROWLS

Great! We lost her. Now what?

Now we get fired from the Odd Squad. What am I going to do for a job?

Be a notary?

Or a professional trumpet player?

HE SIGHS

Or a trash collector.

HE STRUGGLES

It's too heavy. I'll never be a trash collector.

Wait!

A gum wrapper isn't supposed to be heavy. It should be light.

I just remembered something about the Shape Shifter.

She can change the size and shape of things,

-but she can't change how much things weigh.

-So...

no matter what she turns into, she'll always weigh the same?

Including a gum wrapper.

You seem to know a lot about me. But I know something about you...

like your greatest fear!

SHE SCREAMS

SHE GROWLS

I'm a pie! I'm a pie!

-Your greatest fear is pie?

-It's a long story.

Let's go!

HE CHEERS

TOGETHER: Odd Squad! Odd Squad! Stop right there.

Oh, no! She could be anywhere.

-Or anything.

-Wait.

-You said the Shape Shifter can't change her weight. Right?

-Right.

So, all we have to do is look for stuff that doesn't weigh

-what it should.

-Good thinking. Spread out.

This feather's heavy, but feathers are supposed to be light.

SHE GROWLS

-Good job, Jennifer.

-It's Olive.

I could turn you into a Jennifer.

-(Think about it.)

-Otto, I got her. Come quick.

You fool! You could have been a Jennifer.

Where's the briefcase, Shape Shifter?

SHE LAUGHS

I transformed it. I'd help you find it, but I've got a flight to catch.

Ooh, I bet she's going to turn into a bird.

I actually had an airline ticket.

-But that's a much better idea.

-Otto!

I'm a bird! I'M A BIRD.

BIRD TWEETS

Ha-ha! If Sheila could see me now.

We'll never find Ms O's briefcase now.

Yes, we can. Because whatever she turned the briefcase into,

it's the same weight as before.

-And we know how much that is.

-And we have a seesaw.

What kind of warehouse is this?

OK, there's the same rock, traffic cone, pineapple and...

my shoe.

When we find something that weighs the same as all of these things,

that's Ms O's briefcase.

Too light. The seesaw barely moves down on this side.

TOGETHER: Too heavy!

We've weighed everything!

Except for that pie.

SHE SCREAMS

Do it, Olive. Face your fears.

You can do it.

You can do it.

You can do it.

It's the same weight!

Here's your briefcase, Ms O.

Thanks, agents. You have no idea how important this is.

-It was your lunch in the briefcase?

-Yeah.

I forgot it at home this morning.

Look, thanks for going out of your way to get this.

Why don't you take the rest of the day off?

The rest of the day off?!

Wait a minute!

Ow!

Sorry. Just checking.

No day off!
