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 > 0:00:16that investigates anything strange, weird and, especially, odd.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Our job is to put things right again.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Who do we work for?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29We work for Odd Squad.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38All the shelves on this wall have been
0:00:38 > 0:00:41dusted, wiped and scrubbed.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Cleaning day is the worst!
0:00:43 > 0:00:45SHE LAUGHS
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Good one, partner.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Hold on. You LIKE doing this?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51What's not to like?
0:00:51 > 0:00:53When dust gets in your nose and eyes
0:00:53 > 0:00:55and makes your throat a bit stingy...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Oh, I love it.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Plus, look at all this cool stuff.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03This is what Odd Squad looked like,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05WAY back in the day.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Whoa.
0:01:09 > 0:01:10I remember that place well.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Let me guess. You were there?- Yep.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14And you worked on Odd Squad?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Nope.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16BOTH: No?!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18You want to keep doing this back-and-forth thing,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- or do you want to hear the story? - Story.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I was going to say back-and-forth thing.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Sure, we can do story.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25The year was 1870.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29The town looked a little bit different in the 1870s.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30We only had one car,
0:01:30 > 0:01:31and that car was a horse.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Back then, I used to own a fruit stand in town.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36And Odd Squad would stop by all the time,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38especially these two agents, O'Donahue
0:01:38 > 0:01:40and his know-it-all partner, Olga.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Hey, Oprah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- We were wondering if you've seen any odd stuff going on...- Hey, hey, hey.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I don't want to get involved with your oddness.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I sell fruit. That's it.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52You wouldn't understand, anyway.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Probably not. I'm too busy working on my latest product -
0:01:55 > 0:01:57a way to take fruit juice on the go.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I call it "juice in a bag".
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It needs some work.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Ugh.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, before I get back to it, I'd like to buy some peaches.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I've only got one left.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Nah. What about two of those plums?
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Oprah, Oprah!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20What's up, Yucks? Got a new joke?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22The fruit warehouse was robbed!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23That's a terrible joke.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's not a joke.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26SHE GASPS
0:02:26 > 0:02:29It's really weird, too. Like, we had 14 cherries,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31but he only took seven of them.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33We had ten strawberries,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35but he only took five of them.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36That sounds odd to me.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Oprah, I need you to come down to the squad and file a report.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Ugh. Missing fruit AND dealing with Odd Squad?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45This is the worst.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Yucks, watch the fruit stand.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Sure thing, boss.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Oh, and I had an idea for your "juice on the go" system.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Juice in a boot.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Wow, that is awful!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Yep, still bad.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Take a seat, Oprah.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So... Any idea who might want to steal your fruit?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26No clue.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28All I know is that they must have struck yesterday.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Too bad Olga had the day off yesterday.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33She's got a knack for catching thieves in the act.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, whoever this thief is,
0:03:35 > 0:03:37he didn't touch my five bananas,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39or three pears, but decided to go after
0:03:39 > 0:03:42the 14 cherries and 10 strawberries.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Wait. Five and three. Those are odd numbers.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47And 14 and 10 are even numbers.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I'm not sure I follow.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Even numbers can be divided into two equal groups.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Like my ten strawberries.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00One, two, three, four, five,
0:04:00 > 0:04:05six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06See?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Five and five.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Odd numbers, like the five bananas he didn't touch, can't be divided.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Two bananas here, two bananas here.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18But you have one left over.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21So, what are you saying?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Maybe it has something to do with odd and even numbers.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Oh, puh-lease!
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's got nothing to do with numbers.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31This is about colours.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Cherries and strawberries? Both red!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36And who likes red things?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38BOTH: Big Red.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Meow!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42What do you mean? What are you talking about?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I didn't steal a thing!
0:04:44 > 0:04:48In fact, just the other day, 6 of my 12 mailboxes were stolen.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Then why didn't you report it?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Better question, why did you have 12 mailboxes?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55First of all, I love getting mail.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Second of all, I did report it. I sent a telegram yesterday.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Express overnight delivery for Odd Squad.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Amazing, isn't it?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09You can send a message to someone in just one day!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Zheesh! Someone should invent a way to do this faster.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Like an instant textual messaging delivery service.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Eh, that will never work.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Can we focus here? On my fruit?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23We'll get back to that later.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27SHE GROWLS
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I was so angry with Odd Squad.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31A week went by, and I hadn't heard a thing.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Also, my "juice on the go" system wasn't making much progress.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37I think I got it!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Juice in a net.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I feel like we're moving backwards.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Hey! Odd Squad. It's been a week.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49My missing fruit has probably gone bad by now!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Sorry, Oprah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52But we got nothing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Well, if it makes you feel better, why don't we buy some fruit?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- How many oranges have you got? - Three.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Nah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- What about apples?- 11.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Nah.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I see you've got ten mangoes over there. I'll take five of them.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Odd Squad! Odd Squad!
0:06:10 > 0:06:11My dog turned into a cactus,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15and I can't pet him without screaming in terrible pain.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Excuse us, Oprah. We've got to take care of this.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Yeah.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I still want to know why my fruit has gone missing!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Yucks, bring that little fold-y paper thing with you.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29It's time to take matters into our own hands.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36What is this place?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I need a room to review the numbers.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I'm calling it the Mathematical Figuring Out Locale.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43Sounds catchy(!)
0:06:43 > 0:06:44Thanks!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48So, we started with 14 cherries, and 7 were taken away.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51So, how many did he leave behind?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53One, two, three, four, five,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56six, seven. Seven.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Next, we had ten strawberries.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And five were taken away.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Ten minus five equals...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06One, two, three, four, five.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Five strawberries went missing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10What about the 12 mailboxes?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Big Red said six of them went missing.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1712 minus 6 equals...
0:07:17 > 0:07:22One, two, three, four, five, six.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Six.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Weird. He stole seven cherries and left seven behind.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30He stole five strawberries and left five behind.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34He stole six mailboxes, left six behind.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Yucks, you're onto something!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I am?
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Everything he stole was split evenly into two groups,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43which means the original amount was an even number.
0:07:43 > 0:07:4614 cherries, 10 strawberries,
0:07:46 > 0:07:49and 12 mailboxes. All even numbers.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51He likes even numbers!
0:07:51 > 0:07:55And that's why he didn't take any of our five bananas or three pears,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58because they can't be split into two equal groups.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00They're odd numbers!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh, no. I just realised something.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Used banana peels are a terrible idea for a juice transport.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10No! Big Red still has six mailboxes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12And six is an even number.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Which means it can be still be split into two equal groups.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Three and three.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Which means...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21the thief will be heading back to steal more mailboxes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25I got to warn O'Donahue. Yucks, box this stuff up.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Box!
0:08:32 > 0:08:33So, we're just going to let the thief
0:08:33 > 0:08:35steal three more of my mailboxes?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Big Red.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oprah, sure this is going to work?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Numbers don't lie.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Can we at least tell Olga?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Sure. She's right there.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Let's move.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- Stop right there!- Argh!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Olga, say it ain't so.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Ugh. How did you know I'd be here?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It all came down to how you ordered your fruit.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You only wanted two of my four plums, and when I offered you
0:09:01 > 0:09:04three oranges or eleven apples, you weren't interested.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Odd numbers. But when you spotted ten mangoes,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09you wanted half of them.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Good job, Oprah.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13But better job, me!
0:09:13 > 0:09:14THEY GASP
0:09:19 > 0:09:21You'll never catch me!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Maybe they won't, but I will,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33thanks to my new invention!
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Argh!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Nice work.- Way to go, Yucks.- Yeah
0:09:42 > 0:09:44SHE GROWLS
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Yay!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46APPLAUSE
0:09:48 > 0:09:50And since O'Donahue no longer had a partner...
0:09:50 > 0:09:52You joined Odd Squad.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55No. First, I delivered newspapers in Norway.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56But that wasn't for me.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58And THEN you joined Odd Squad.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01No. Then I became Queen of Portugal.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02And THEN I joined Odd Squad.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05What happened to Yucks?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07I still saw her every day.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08She took over the fruit stand.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11But nobody wanted to drink from a Yucks Box.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So I told her to use her last name instead.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Mm. Yucks Shnumbers. You've really got something here.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Credit goes to Olga!
0:10:19 > 0:10:22She's the one who cuts all the fruit exactly in half,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25making sure there's equal amounts in every box.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Odd Squad.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29As a token of thanks for getting my mailboxes back,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31I'm developing a way for you Odd Squad agents
0:10:31 > 0:10:34to get around faster. I call it the Tube system.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37It'll squish you into a ball
0:10:37 > 0:10:39and whoosh you around anywhere in the world.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'll start digging it right now.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Mm, that'll never work.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46No way, cowboy.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Hey, Olga! Nice cutting.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55SHE GROWLS
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Done.
