Whatever Happened to Agent Oz? Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is my lucky pencil.

But back to 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.

UNICORN NEIGHS

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

So, every time I come home, this happens.

'And now, returning from the grocery store

'and live from her house, it's...Carol Ann!'

SHOWTUNE MUSIC

That is odd.

I know. My name is Becky!

Don't worry, ma'am. We got this.

MUSIC SKIPS AND ABRUPTLY STOPS

'And now, returning from the grocery store

'and live from her house, it's...Becky!'

SHOWTUNE MUSIC

-That's me! Thanks, Odd Squad.

-Happy to help.

Have a great day.

'Tonight, Becky will be making lasagne for her friends,

'Lauren and Dave.

'But what she doesn't know is that she can't make it

'because she forgot to buy cheese, and the pasta, and the sauce.

'She is not a very good shopper.'

JACKALOPE WHEEZES

-Otto, it's not polite to stare.

-I'm not staring.

I'm just looking at someone for a really long time.

Fine.

It's not polite to look at someone for a really long time.

But I can't figure it out.

What is it?

You and I are partners. Oren and Olaf are partners.

Why is Agent Octavia the only agent without one?

Are you telling me you never heard what happened to Agent Oz?

No?

Oh, man. Great story.

Amazing.

Are you going to tell me?

Oh, sure.

Octavia and her partner, Oz, were battling one of the worst

Odd Squad villains ever.

Jellybean Joe.

OTTO GASPS

A villain with candy in his name? Go on.

Step right up, agents, and guess how many jellybeans are in my jar.

We don't have time for your games, Jellybean Joe.

Better make time, Octavia.

Because if you don't guess correctly by the time the music stops,

they'll be a pudding-splosion.

JELLYBEAN JOE LAUGHS

He's not kidding.

There's enough pudding in there to cover the entire town. Twice!

I love explosions.

I'll get Joe with my handcuff-inator!

-Oz, that's your body-put-back-inator.

-Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure. Forget that.

Right now we need to figure out how many jellybeans are in there.

And we'd better hurry.

94, 203, 320 and 450.

How are we supposed to know what number's even close?

Let's start counting.

-There's too many. One, two...four...

-Come on, come on, come on.

-You need to count faster.

-I'm going as fast as I can.

Too slow, agents!

BUZZER

JELLYBEAN JOE LAUGHS

BOTH: Uh-oh!

Run!

RUMBLING

Ahhh!

-Wow! And that's the last anyone has ever seen of Agent Oz?

-What? No.

-They just dug him out of the pudding.

-But I thought...

If you let me finish.

No matter what Octavia and Oz did, they couldn't beat Jellybean Joe.

First, he covered the town with pudding.

Then whipped cream.

Then feathers.

Miss O was...

-The angriest I've ever been in my life!

-Sorry, Miss O.

If Jellybean Joe would just stay put long enough

I could use my handcuff-inator.

-Oz, that's your blackhole-inator.

-Are you sure?

BLACKHOLE-INATOR BEEPS

What? No!

Whoa!

THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT

Ahh!

So that's what happened to Octavia's partner.

He got sucked into a black hole.

No. Oscar saved him.

Ahh!

Help me!

Ahh!

Hey, guys.

Bye, guys.

-Oz!

-Hmm, not bad, actually. Listen up, you two.

You'll never beat Jellybean Joe if you count jellybeans one at a time.

-But...

-No buts!

I want you to visit Estimation Eddie.

He won't get you the right answer, but he'll get you close.

But... Don't you always want us to be right?

A smart woman once said, "Sometimes close enough is good enough."

Cool. Who's she?

I'll give you a clue. You're looking at her.

-Can you give me another clue?

-It's me!

-Ah.

So, where do we find this Estimation Eddie?

Where else? In the ballpark.

JACKALOPE GUFFAWS

BASEBALL TUNE PLAYS

Excuse me? Are you Eddie?

-Depends. Are you willing to play ball?

-Sure.

Oh, you mean actually play ball?

Let's do this.

I'm sick of this! I won't do it any more. I quit.

So that's what happened to Octavia's partner? He quit?

-Nope, not that, either.

-Seriously?

Who am I kidding, I can't quit.

Odd Squad is my life.

Huddle up, you two.

-How many balls did you miss?

-BOTH: One, two, three, four...

-Faster!

-But we can't count faster.

-Sure you can.

Start with counting just this cluster.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

Now, you see any other clusters that look about the same size?

Er, that one.

-Where else?

-Over there. And there.

And there, and there...

That gave us six clusters of about 10. Now add them up.

If there are 10 baseballs in each cluster, we can count by tens.

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. You hit 60 balls!

The exact number's 64.

But 60 is really close. Or a good estimate.

Yep, you may not be exactly right,

but you'll be close enough to make a really good guess.

PHONE RINGS

Go for Octavia?

Uh-huh...

We're on it!

Jellybean Joe just showed up at the river with another box.

Thanks, Eddie. We got to move.

You should take a couple of hot dogs for the road.

-These are cold!

-Not for long.

Any chance you can shoot mustard out of your eye?

Oh, I sure can.

But it takes about three hours to get it going,

and you don't have that time kind of time.

Now go get 'em!

JELLYBEAN JOE LAUGHS

Welcome back, Odd Squad.

Guess how many jellybeans there are,

or everything will be covered in feathers!

Didn't you already do feathers?

I'm allowed to repeat.

There's five possible answers this time. We'll never guess!

Remember what Estimation Eddie taught us.

First step to estimating - find a cluster.

I'd say there are about 10 jellybeans in this cluster here.

And I'd say there's at least one, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten clusters.

Ten clusters of ten on the bottom layer.

-The music!

-You're not going to make it!

Wait! It's just like at the ballpark. We can count by tens.

10 10s are 10... 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100.

I'm estimating about 100 jellybeans on the bottom layer.

Feathers, feathers, feathers!

If each one of these layers has about 100 jellybeans...

..then we can count by 100 to make a guess of the total.

100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1,000.

1,100, 1,200, 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 jellybeans.

There's no 1,500 here.

-But there are feathers!

-We're done for!

Get a grip, partner.

All we need to do is find a number close to 1,500.

-1520 is the closest.

-Together?

BELL PINGS

-We did it!

-Yes!

-Wow...

I'm so impressed I'm not even going to try and run away.

Let me just get my handcuff-inator.

No, that's your invisible-inator!

Huh? Really?

OCTAVIA GASPS

-And that's what happened to Octavia's partner?

-Yep.

Turned invisible for the rest of his life.

Kind of sad he had to leave Odd Squad because of an accident.

-He didn't leave.

-What?

Oz used his invisibility to his advantage.

Now he's one of the best agents on the Squad.

Look.

SNEEZING

NOSE BLOWS

-Thanks, partner.

-Gesundheit!

-An invisible agent?

-Oh, he's not the only one.

I'd estimate there are about... 100 invisible agents here.

An invisible agent...

Mail call, mail call.

CLANKING AND SQUEAKING

Letter for you, Otto.

Nice seeing you.

Aw, bill!
