First Day Part One Odd Squad

My name is Miss O. This is also me.

This is what a new season looks like.

But back to me again.

I'm in charge of an organisation made up of kids

that investigates anything strange, weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

Yay!

We are Odd Squad!

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad!

What seems to be the problem, Ronny?

My brother Donny and I were playing street hockey,

and he scored a goal! So we high five!

But then, he never stopped.

Hey, Olive. Hey, Otto.

Not to worry. We have an un-high-fivenator.

Boom.

Thanks, Odd Squad!

You bet! Have a good day!

All right, Donny, let's get back to that game, huh?

You know it, bro!

I can't move!

Me neither!

BOTH: Odd Squad!

What did we learn from this?

Olympia.

When you zap someone with an un-high-fivenator,

it doesn't protect against chestbumpitis.

-Correct.

-It doesn't protect against hiccups either, guys.

Just a heads-up.

-BELL RINGS

-Thank you, all right, remember!

Quiz next week on how to interrogate a unicorn!

Also your blogs are due!

Obed, I'm talking to you.

Olympia, see me after class.

Is there a problem, Instructor O?

You're on track to be an agent this summer, correct?

Yeah, I mean, not that I'm counting the days - 74.

Or the hours - 1,760...

-It's not happening!

-What?!

But I've gotten straight Os on every test!

I can identify any gadget...

I'm not making you an agent this summer

because I'm making you one right now.

I don't think I've ever seen you not talking.

Me...neither.

How? Why?

Agents Olive and Otto are leaving to run their own Odd Squad,

so there's an opening in Precinct 13579.

Miss O picked you.

Are you saying I'm the new Olive?

Technically you're the new Otto, also you're the last to know.

What do you mean last to know?

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Congratulations.

Are you sure I'm ready? Yes, I've studied every single Odd Squad case

since the beginning of time. But what about before time began?

You're ready.

O'Flana Ranahanahen.

Prepare to squishenate.

ALARM BLARES

Not that one!

This one.

Wait, you didn't say who my new partner's going to be.

You'll meet him when you get there.

Ah-ha! I can tell it's going to be a boy, because you said him.

I wonder what he's going to be like.

Do you want to be transferred?

Squishenating.

What do we do now, Miss O? I mean...

..Olive and Otto were the best agents we had.

True.

But I've got two new agents who seem like they're up for the job.

Incoming!

There you two are.

Something very odd has happened.

Whoa! I'm really here.

In Odd Squad!

Not for long! Prepare to squish.

-But, but, but...

-I need you to report to an office downtown.

But, but we haven't even met!

My name is Otis.

And she's Olympia.

Hey guys, I'm Oscar.

Now you've met...

Squishenating!

Hey! We actually didn't get a chance to talk back there.

So I'm Olympia. Speed stats!

11 years old, first pet - guinea pig. Favourite colour...

Duck!

What happened?

I don't like ducks.

This is great. We're learning about each other.

Secret handshake.

We just met. How can we have a secret handshake?

I thought we just sort of, kind of, find it.

So, do you have any other fears?

How about special talents?

None worth mentioning. Come on.

-There.

-Yes!

Here! Odd Squad!

Please, I need your help! I just started floating for no reason!

Whoa! Floating People!

Maybe we should lasso him.

Wait, should we take a picture of our first case now?

Or more in the middle? Or after we solve it?

I've got this.

Hand.

How is that a talent not worth mentioning?

I guess it's back to my...

What happened to the lab?

What happened to everything?!

We had to clean up after the showdown with Odd Todd.

So I decided to make some improvements.

But, that was like ten minutes ago.

-I'm upset it took that long too.

-Hm.

Something's different about you.

Oh, yeah, this new make-you-olderenator went off.

I like the new voice though. So, new headquarters huh?

Yep. There's a task force room, office for coach L,

and I hired a chef from town to make the break room more fun.

Eat my food and I'll make you a balloon!

Ha-ha-ha!

Come on...

I might have gone too fun.

What I'm most excited about is...

..the creature room.

Which is where we're going to go right now.

OK.

Can you find someone to run it?

I can run this! I've sort of got a special little bit of a knack

for taking care of creatures.

Like this little guy!

Agh! Ugh!

Aaargh!

I'll find someone to run this immediately.

Oh, thank you, Odd Squad!

-Odd Squad!

-Is that me screaming?

-I sound so far away.

Odd Squad!

Oh, there's more floaters.

-Odd Squad!

-This is great!

You're happy the problem got worse?

Yeah-huh.

We don't know what's causing people to float, right?

Now there are three people floating,

-we can ask all of them the same questions and...

-Got it!

If they have the same answer, that's what they have in common.

I wanted to say that, but, yes!

And the best part is when we take all the information,

all of that data, and put it into a chart!

-That's the best part?

-You're right.

The best part is the moment before you make the chart.

Oh, the anticipation!

All right, we've gathered the data and now...

Behold the chartenade!

All right, the people are along the side,

the questions are along the top.

Question one. Where were you when you started floating?

The dentist said at the dentist office.

Crossing guard said on the street.

And the businessman said in his office.

No matches.

Question two...

Actually, maybe I can do that?

And you can tap it, just to keep it fairsies. You'll love it!

Question two - what time was it when you started floating?

Dentist said 12 o'clock.

See? Told you you'd love it.

Crossing guard, also said 12 o'clock. The same.

And businessman said 9 o'clock.

Only two out of three, not good enough.

Does it bother anyone that they haven't asked us our names?

My name is Dentist, so I'm good.

I'm Marie, but I pronounce it Crossing Guard.

Oh. What?

They've nothing in common.

You know, this is better we didn't solve it.

The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph!

There's light at the end of the tunnel!

Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack!

I'm going to go ask more questions.

OK, sure!

-Wonderful.

-Oscar, my name is Dr O. I met you several times.

-We solved a case together last year.

-Yeah, I know.

-Good.

-That'll save us time.

-I heard you're interviewing people

to run the creature room. I want in.

-But I thought you were happy being a doctor.

-Of course I am!

I'm a doctor! But I want to help pick the new person.

-Why?

-Let me paint you a picture.

Actually, there's no time. I'll just use these.

The person running the creature room forgets to lock the cage.

A creature gets loose and pours itself a glass of water.

It spills some water.

I slip on the water.

I get hurt, and I can't do my job.

So, yeah, I care about who runs the creature room!

OK.

I can't believe there's no matches.

Hang on! All three people were eating when they started floating.

The dentist had a sandwich, the crossing guard had a salad,

and the businessman had a bagel with cream cheese.

Those are all different foods.

Plus, they ate in different places.

And the crossing guard and the dentist ate at a different time

-than the businessman.

-My name is Hopkins, or Joe,

anything to make me feel more like a human being.

I still think there's something here.

There's nothing! It's over!

We failed our first case.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What happened to leading wolves and light at the end of the tunnels?

We've been in the tunnel for days.

There's no light, just the wolf.

So we go back to headquarters and ask for help?

We shouldn't need help! We're agents!

We should be able to do this ourselves. But we can't.

I can't. I know I wasn't ready!

-What are you saying?

-I'm saying that I don't deserve to wear this.

So you're going to a party instead?

Oh. This was supposed to be my celebration outfit

when we solved our first case.

I'm going back to the Academy.

This is worse than the duck.
