My name is Agent Olympia.

This is my partner, Agent Otis.

This is counting chickens before they hatch.

But back to Otis and me.

We work for an organization run by kids that investigates anything strange, weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

♪ ♪ ♪ [Olympia] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

[Ms. O] "The Deposit Slip-Up."

There you two are!

The villain Symmetric Al stole my jetpack, and I need your help.

I'm trying this new thing where I cut the small talk.

Very effective.

It works.

Once Symmetric Al shares the jetpack with other villains, Odd Squad is done... because flying villains... [Both] Not good!

Well, how hard could it be to get it back?

[Ms. O] Very hard.

Let me tell you what Al plans to do later today.

When Al leaves his house - with my jetpack - he'll walk through the town, all the way to the Villain's Vault.

It's a place where villains ke ep important things locked up.

This place is especially important to Al because he designed it.

Next, the vault owner will give Al a key.

Once the jetpack is in the vault, we'll never get it back.

Okay, so we know Al's plan, but what's ours?

Come with me.

Let's go the long way.

♪ [Otis grunts] [Olympia, whispering] What?

♪ You're building a fake vault to make Symmetric Al think he's delivering the jetpack, but really he's delivering it to us!

Yes.

You got there way faster than I thought.

I hired a special agent to explain the whole thing to you.

I guess you can leave now.

[Otis] So the real question is "How does Symmetric Al get to the fake vault?"

[Owen] I can answer that.

The moment Symmetric Al leaves his real front door, he'll enter a fake town - which we're building - that will lead him straight to our fake vault.

Hey, Owen, where should I put this cloud?

In the sky, Ozlyn.

That's why you're the boss!

Otis, I need you to find somebody to pretend to play the vault owner so Al thinks everything is fine when he gets to the vault.

On it.

What about me?

Owen, where should I put these tree branches?

On the trees.

Got it!

Maybe you can help Ozlyn out.

There are eight safety deposit boxes in the Villain's Vault.

Nine, if you count the ninth one.

Are we counting the ninth one?

Of course we are!

Problem is we don't know which one is Symmetric Al's, so we don't know which key to give him.

Why don't we make all the keys and let him choose himself?

Looks like we've got a key expert here.

Uh, a what?

I called you a key expert.

I mean it in the nicest way possible.

This is Agent Oxley.

He makes the keys.

[softly] But it takes him forever to make one.

Key-making is an art and not to be rushed.

We're only going to get one key out of him, so we need to guess which box Symmetric Al is going to pick.

Maybe we don't have to guess.

Symmetric Al would love this star, heart, and circle because they're symmetrical.

Symmetrical objects are the same on both sides of the line of symmetry.

This side is the same as this side.

So we just need to figure out which numbers are symmetrical and make keys for those boxes.

This is the vertical line of symmetry - "vertical" because it goes up and down through the middle of the numbers.

But look at number eight!

[Ozlyn] It's the same on both sides of the vertical line.

It's symmetrical!

And since Symmetric Al only likes symmetrical things, that must be the number of his safety deposit box.

Hear that, Oxley?

You only need to make a key for box number eight.

Way to go, key expert.

You did it.

As thanks, I'd like you to have my grandfather's golden jacket.

[Olympia] Oh... okay.

Hmm...

Thank you.

That's exactly what he would have said!

Hm!

It's amazing, Doug.

You look exactly like the vault owner.

I really don't see it.

Do me a favor: put these on.

I don't know.

I still don't see it.

Doug, you look exactly alike.

Well, not exactly... 'cause that's a piece of paper, and I'm a human being.

Trust me, it's close enough.

I need you to act like him so we can trick Symmetric Al into thinking that he's at the real vault.

Nice.

I always wanted to be an actor.

I never knew that about you.

Yeah, I dabbled in the theater a little bit before getting into egg salad.

A lot of guys will go the other way - they'll start in egg salad and then move to acting - but, uh... yeah, that wasn't old Dougie's path.

No regrets.

[drill whirring] Wow!

It looks just like the real thing!

Yeah, but we're having trouble finishing this painting.

Why is only half of it done?

We don't know what the other half looks like.

The agent that took the picture of the real painting had his thumb over the lens.

Was it Ohlm?

It was Ohlm, yep.

Mm.

[Olympia] Wait a second.

This is Symmetric Al's signature.

That means he must have painted it.

So that means it should be symmetrical!

[Olympia] If this painting is symmetrical, then the missing side should be a mirror image of the side we see... like this.

I'll get started on it right away.

Whoa!

The key expert is also a paintspert?!

Both compliments.

Thank you.

I'd like you to have my great-aunt's captain's hat.

Oxley, I appreciate all these gestures, but we really have to focus on the mission.

That's exactly what she would have said.

Hm!

[cell phone rings] Olympia speaking with her voice.

Hi.

It's Owen.

Symmetric Al is inside the fake town.

Hold on.

Get those trees into position!

Go, go, go!

Hey, where's that third house?!

[Owen] Okay, guys.

Here comes Al around the corner.

That sidewalk's holding.

He doesn't it's made of clay.

[chuckles] He thinks the cars are real.

Hopefully, he doesn't touch them.

Cue the remote-control man.

He's too close, he's too close!

He's gonna hit him!

Phew.

Cue kids with wagon.

Great.

Now let me hear some birds chirping.

[birds chirping] Now give me a rainbow!

Aw, man, he missed it!

Sorry, Olympia.

How's that vault coming?

It's almost ready.

[Owen] Hurry!

Symmetric Al will be there any minute!

He's approaching the intersection.

When I say "Now," cue street rainbow.

Now!

Ahh, he missed it again!

Otis, we'd better hurry.

You said Symmetric Al is minutes from the vault, and we're still here at headquarters.

No, Doug.

The fake vault is in headquarters.

Follow me.

Whoa!

Al will be here any minute.

All you have to do is say hello and give him the key.

I've got this so under control.

Alright.

Good luck, Doug.

As if I'll even need it.

Good, sturdy desk, huh?

Good stuff!

Are you guys into eggs?

Al is entering the vault.

Come on, people.

Let's get this right.

I need my jetpack back.

Afternoon, Pete.

I need the key to my vault.

[coughing] [coughing] [Olympia] What is he doing?!

He's freezing up.

Doug, just give him the key!

Copy that, Otis.

[Al] Otis?

Who's Otis?

Otis... is the name that I... give... your key.

[laughs] Yeah, I-- Hi, Otis!

Have a nice day!

Eight?

That's not my key.

[All] What?!

[hyperventilating] [Al] Pete, are you okay?

Never been better, Al.

Uh... And now I will get your key.

From that secret plant over there, where's-- where I keep it.

[laughs awkwardly] I don't know why.

What is wrong with me?

I tell ya!

[softly] Any ideas, guys?

[Otis] We're working on it.

Keep stalling.

This doesn't make any sense.

We checked all the numbers!

[Ozlyn] Yeah, the vertical line of symmetry only worked for eight.

The vertical line of symmetry is not the only way something can be symmetrical.

[Olympia & Otis] What?

Numbers or other things can also have a horizontal line of symmetry - a line that goes from side to side.

[Olympia] That means three is also symmetrical!

Oxley, we need a number three key.

Well, well!

Looks like the key expert who became the paintspert is now a herospert!

Oxley, just give me an article of clothing from one of your relatives and make a number three key!

That's what they all would have said.

Ooh!

Almost got it.

It's, uh-- I can see it.

I just can't reach it.

It's-- I can-- It's almost here.

[Ozlyn] Here you go, Doug.

[Doug, whispering] Thanks.

And here is your key!

Three.

That's the one.

[Doug] And, uh... it opened.

Okay.

I mean, of course it opened!

I am opening it for you.

It is now open, as you would expect it to be.

[panting] Nailed it.

What are you waiting for?!

Go!

[Ms. O] "Villains Always Win."

There you two are.

You wanted to see us, Ms. O?

Something very odd has happened.

Olympia, you're going to be on a game show.

A game show?

I can't-- But don't get too excited.

It's a villain game show.

This is the host, Game Show Gary.

He stole an important Odd Squad gadget and he's going to give that to the winner of his game show.

So I'll just win and get the gadget back.

Easy-peasy!

Not easy-peasy.

Hardy-wardy.

The show is called "Villains Always Win".

Guess why it's called that.

Because villains always win?

Ding-ding-ding!

You are correct!

[gasps] Gary only invited you on the show to watch Odd Squad lose.

So how do I get it back?

I need you to go on the show and talk as much as possible.

That will give Otis and Oona time to sneak in and get the gadget back.

Howdy-do!

We're going to be disguised as repair people.

We have information that the heating system is broken in the game show studio, so it's very cold.

This is a thermometer from inside the game show studio.

It's down at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's the temperature water freezes and becomes ice.

So you want us to fix the heat, then sneak in and take the gadget back.

Ding-ding-ding!

You are correct!

I'm out of confetti, but you get the idea.

Oona, these disguises are for grownups.

It's never going to work.

I'm not done yet.

Behold: my older cousin-ator.

Is that the gadget that-- Can turn us into one of my older cousins?

Yes.

Yes, it is.

[zap] Wow.

This is incredible, Otis.

You look exactly like my older cousin, Dave.

Howdy-do, Dave?

I have a beard!

And I look like my older cousin, Rachel!

Oona, I admit I'm impressed.

Oh, I feel a sneeze coming on.

Don't!

No!

[sneezes] What happened?

Yeah, that's the one flaw with my gadget: if you sneeze, you turn back into yourself.

It's okay.

I can fix this.

[zap] [Oona] Now you're my older cousin, Michael.

Well, what happened to Dave?

Problem is I can't turn you into the same older cousin twice, so... my gadget has two flaws, I guess.

Well, I take back the part about being impressed.

[Gary] It's time for somebody's favorite game show, "Villains Always Win"!

Here's your host, me - Game Show Gary!

[applause] [chuckles] Thank you so much, studio audience!

Yeah!

Woohoo!

Kind of helpful to know a villain named "Studio Audience".

Yeah!

Sorry it's a little cold in here today, gang.

I have my assistant, Hank, looking into things.

But on the bright side, because it's 32 degrees, which is freezing cold, I made... homemade freeze pops!

Today, our contestants will be playing for this grand prize!

It's the stolen Odd Squad Super-Strength-inator gadget!

Ooh!

Alright, gang.

Let's meet today's contestants.

First, he's a villain with a flare for evil greenery: it's the Evil Landscaper!

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!

Make some noise for the Utensiler!

Yeah!

Our third contestant is Olympia from Odd Squad.

[crickets chirping] [Gary] Cricket city.

Alright, folks!

Let's get right into things!

[Olympia] Actually, Gary...

I would love to say a few words.

I am so happy to be here today.

Oh, you meant now!

Speaking of panda bears, did you know the panda bear-- No one was.

No one was speaking of pandas.

I distinctly remember no one saying the word "panda".

[Olympia chattering on] Okay, so, uh, here's the thingy that controls the temperature.

I call it a thingy because I don't understand it.

I'm Hank, by the way - Game Show Gary's assistant.

Hi.

It's really simple, Hank.

You see how the line is at 32 degrees, there?

That's way too cold.

Yeah, the temperature inside should be at 70 degrees - like a warm spring day.

There.

Temperature fixed.

You're done?

I-- I-- Yep.

You guys are pros, really!

Thank you.

Excellent at what you do!

Just... wow.

We've got to go now!

Bye!

Thank you!

Hold it in!

You have to hold it in!

I can't!

Don't do it, don't do it!

[sneezes] [Oona] Otis!

I'm sorry.

It's dusty in here.

You've got to learn how to control your sneezes, man.

I am running out of older cousins.

[zap] Wait.

Who am I now?

Brian.

No!

Brad.

I don't know.

In all fairness, we don't hang out very often.

Okay.

Well, let's get going.

Hopefully, Olympia's wasting a bunch of time.

Panda fact 409: pandas are the only black-and-white animal.

Except zebras.

And skunks.

And I guess you could have a dog or cat that's, like, part black and part white.

How's that?

Fun?

Alright!

Let's play "Villains Always Win"!

Here's question number one: name this sound!

[lion roars] The Utensiler.

I'd like to name it... "Phillip".

Sure!

Why not?

Let's name it Phillip!

[Utensiler laughs happily] [Gary] Two thousand points for the Utensiler, which ties you with the Evil Landscaper.

Well done.

What?!

How did he get 2,000 points?

What do you mean?

Look at his beard!

It's amazing!

Poor Olympia still has... zero points.

Wah, wah!

[chuckles] [Studio Audience laughs] Four thousand points to the best evil laugh!

[laughs while wheezing] Ooh, shaking in my boots!

Utensiler?

Moo-hoo-ha-ha-haaa!

Easy, fella!

[laughs weakly] Boo!

Now it's time to... grow evil eyebrows!

[strains] [grunting effort] I can't!

Aww.

Do you like waffles?

I love waffles!

Ah.

See, I don't like waffles.

I can't give you any points for that, unfortunately.

Utensiler?

Eww, waffles!

That's how I feel.

Five thousand points to you!

Well done!

I feel like you're interrupting me when I was awarding them 30,000 points.

[Otis] Okay, that's the studio door.

The stolen gadget is right through there.

Okay.

Otis, take the older cousin-ator, just in case you sneeze again.

Oh, good!

You're still here!

My favorite repair people-- Wait.

What happened to the other guy?

I fired him.

He was terrible.

He didn't know what a hammer was!

I said, "What's this?"

And he said, "A fish."

And I said, "You're done here."

Okay.

Well, listen.

I'm having a problem with Gary's tea.

Gary said he wants it at room temperature, but I don't know which room, so I chose the boiler room, which was... way too hot.

See, "room temperature" means the temperature of a comfortable room: around 70 degrees.

Oh!

He's good.

[whispering] You've gotta hold onto this one, huh?

Let's use this thermometer to test the temperature of the tea.

Yep, 95 degrees - too hot.

We want to wait for the temperature to go down to 70 degrees.

I know we just met and everything, but would you guys mind helping me blow on this tea so it can cool off?

We can do it together, like a family.

[Both] Yeah.

Let's do it.

[Both blowing] What kind of tea is this?

Gary's favorite: pepper tea.

Oh no!

Pepper!

It make-- It makes me-- Achoo!

Don't worry about him!

Hey, look!

It's already at 80 degrees!

It's getting cooler!

[blowing] Hey, wait a minute.

Who's the guy?

The guy?

He's the same guy.

He's just older.

They grow up so fast!

Whoa!

Would you look at that?

It's already at 70 degrees.

That's room temperature!

It's perfect tea-drinking time!

[sniffs] Ah, it smells so good.

[sniffs] Oh no!

Achoo!

Whoa!

Welcome back to our final round-- Hank?

Well, you're not going to believe what I just heard!

My tea is at room temperature!

Yeah!

See, why did you lead with that?

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special surprise twist on today's show... because we have two captured Odd Squad agents!

They were trying to sneak in and steal the grand prize!

Boo!

No, settle down, Studio Audience.

It just means these Odd Squadders will have a front-row seat to watch their friend lose!

This final round is worth one million points - so technically, I suppose, it's still anybody's game, but... Woohoo!

Comeback time!

[Gary] Which reminds me: the loser of today's show will go home with Gary's homemade freeze pops!

Woohoo!

Here's how the final round will work.

I have placed a bucket of water in front of each contestant.

Using only your evil powers, you have to somehow transfer the water from the bucket to the Volcano of Doom!

Ooh!

Here's the catch: you can't touch the water.

Well, technically, there are two catches: you can't touch the bucket, either.
