MIRA: "A Seedy Mystery."

I just love that the whole

town is planting trees today.

Me too, Beti.

Now, if only I could find

my gardening shoes.

Any sign of them?

Not yet.

But look at this box I found.

(GASPS) I can't believe it!

MIRA: Wow, what's that?

It's a game called Pallanguzhi.

The stones are so beautiful, Papa.

They were hand-painted

by my great grandfather.

It was a tradition he started,

playing as a family.

When my mother was old enough,

he gave the game to her.

Really? And then she gave it to you?

That's right.

And now, I think it's time

Time for what?

To give it to you, Mira.

Papa, are you sure?

Well, if you don't want it

I want it. Thanks, Papa.

I'll take such good care of it, I promise.

I know you will.

I have to go meet Priya in town.

Wait until she sees these stones.

After we finish planting the trees today,

we can play.

Sounds like a plan.

Mikku, Chikku, let's go.

-Ready to garden.

-Right behind ya.

-See you later.

-Bye, Mira!

MAN: Get your gardening tools.

Shovels, soil and seeds, all half-off.

-What a deal!

-We can do better.

Full price, and that's my final offer.

Looks like everyone's buying the things

-they need to plant their trees.

-Priya.

Mira, hi!

I haven't gotten our seeds yet.

I've been a little busy

carrying my mom's stuff.

No worries.

I have to show you something.

Hello, Mira.

Priya, darling.

Could you put this in our bag?

And this, oh, and this.

(SIGHS) How exhausting.

MRS. KAPADIA: Pushpa, dear.

Look at this exquisite planter.

And I got it at a really good price!

Oh, how lovely, Mrs. Kapadia.

I could use four of those

for our rooftop garden.

You better hurry.

Mrs. Tandon is about to buy all of them.

Oh, my. I must go get some right away.

Mommy, please don't forget

to pick up some seeds for us.

Mira, what were you going to show me?

MIRA: These stones.

PRIYA: Wow! Each one

has a little painting on it.

They're the stones from my dad's

I mean, my Pallanguzhi game.

He gave it to me.

(BOTH SHRIEK EXCITEDLY)

PUSHPA: Oh, my!

Oh, how will I carry all this?

Whoa!

Oh, no. Looks like my mom

bought more stuff than she can handle.

Again.

Let's give her a hand.

PUSHPA: Oh, goodness.

I've bought too many things

again.

MIKKU: We got you, Auntie.

Never fear!

Let me get the planter.

PRIYA: I've got your shovel.

Pushpa, dear. Let me help.

I know how it is.

I always get carried away

at the marketplace, too.

Oh, thank you, Mrs. Kapadia.

Thank you, dear.

Oh, heavens. I've made it worse.

-Shovel, anyone?

-I've got a bag of seeds.

-What a mess, what a mess, what a mess.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Uh

Here are those seeds.

-I've got a glove.

-Glove.

-Careful, Mummy.

-Oh, goodness.

(SHOVEL CLATTERING)

Still got the glove.

This stuff's all sorted.

I believe this is yours.

Oh, thank you.

Here's your shovel.

-CHIKKU: Here's the last planter.

-My, what an ordeal.

Thank you, everyone.

Of course, dear. Happy planting!

Priya, let's get these things home.

-ALL: Oh!

-(POTS RATTLING)

Okay, Mummy.

Mira, do you wanna come plant with us?

Sure. Let me just grab my stones.

(MIRA GASPS) Oh, no!

What's wrong, Mira?

-What's wrong?

-What happened?

-What is it, dear?

-My pouch of stones, it's gone!

This one looks just like it,

but it's filled with seeds.

-What?

-Not good! Not good!

-Mummy, I have to stay and help Mira.

-Of course.

Give me the bags. I've to stop at the park

to drop off these extra shovels

and take care of a few chores.

There's so much to do.

Bye, girls, and good luck!

What if we don't find the stones?

I promised my dad

I would take really good care of them.

And I didn't.

What am I going to do?

Mira, we'll find them.

Yeah, don't forget.

You're the Royal Detective,

-which means

(SCATTING)

Thanks, guys. This is too strange.

I've never been on my own case before.

-Mira

-BOTH: You got this!

"We need to start with a few questions."

That's what you always say, Mira.

Questions. Right, yes.

So, Mira. When was the last time

you had the stones?

Well, I put the pouch down on this table

when we were helping

Auntie Pushpa with her bag.

Chikku, we should

gently remind Mira that

(LOUDLY) All these seed pouches

look like Mira's pouch.

Shh! Gently, I said, "Gently."

So, that means someone might have

taken my pouch of stones by accident

thinking it was full of seeds.

-This is bad.

-Really bad.

Guys, not helping.

So after I put down the pouch of stones,

anyone could've taken it.

I can't believe the stones are lost.

Mira, whenever we lose something

Or mess up, which happens a lot

-You're always there to help.

-Now it's our turn to help you.

Mira, you're always

Thank you.

You're the sweetest, most amazing friends.

We are going to find these stones!

She's back!

That's our Royal Detective.

Places, people. Let's look for clues.

Ah, here's a gardening glove.

It looks like someone dropped it.

Wait a second.

Look what else they dropped.

MIRA: One of my stones!

Oh, I am so happy to see you.

Maybe whoever owns this glove

took my stones.

That's the Mira we love.

MRS. KAPADIA: Thank you, dear.

MIRA: Mrs. Kapadia!

Her stuff fell out

when we were helping your mom, Priya.

Maybe she took my stones by accident

and dropped her glove.

Mrs. Kapadia, we need to complete

a full search of your things.

Why do you need to search my things?

Auntie, I lost a pouch of stones from

the Pallanguzhi game my father gave me.

They were in a pouch

that looked like the seed pouches.

Oh, you poor thing!

Let me see if I have them.

She has a pouch!

It's a good sign!

Oh, Mira.

I'm afraid they're just seeds.

-Aw.

-So close.

Thanks for checking, Mrs. Kapadia.

Of course, dear. Good luck!

Whoever took the pouch

could've already left the square.

Is there anything you can remember

that could help?

Well, I know a lot of people are

planting trees in the park today.

So maybe whoever took my stones

went to the park.

Chalo, chalo, let's go.

Listen up, everybody.

Attention must be paid.

Citizens of Jalpur, Mira,

our Royal Detective

has lost some important stones.

Someone might have taken them

thinking they were seeds.

Please check your bags, just in case.

No, sorry.

MAN: No, no stones.

-Uh-uh.

-LADY: Sorry.

-No, no stones.

-I don't see any.

Also, is anyone missing a gardening glove

that looks like this?

-ALL: I have both of mine.

-No, uh-uh.

-Sorry.

-I have both of mine.

Okay, so we know

the stones are not in the park.

Or in the town square.

Hello, everyone.

It's your dad.

He'll know you lost the stones.

Hide! Hide!

I'm pretty sure he sees us.

Hi, Papa.

As soon as I plant this tree,

I'll be ready to play Pallanguzhi.

How's your planting going?

-It's, uh

-Happening!

Uh, slowly.

She needs more time.

You cannot rush nature!

Okay, just let me know

when you're finished, Mira.

Then we can play

our first big game together.

We have to find those stones.

Hey, Mira. I see some stones

in that potting soil.

MIKKU: Those are just pebbles, Chikku.

MIRA: Actually, that isn't a pebble.

It's another one of my stones

in that potting soil.

Look! There's a trail of potting soil

leading out of the park.

So, maybe whoever took the stones

was here,

but left.

Let's follow the trail.

Mira is so on the case!

MIRA: Anyone see more soil?

-Over here.

-CHIKKU: And there.

PRIYA: The potting soil

leads to my mom's shop?

Okay, that's strange.

-Mummy closed the shop for the day.

-I think I know why.

Let's think this through.

We found one of my stones

next to a gardening glove

in the town square.

And another stone in the park

in some potting soil

that lead back to the shop.

There's only one person

carrying gardening gloves and soil

who went from the town square to the park,

then to the shop,

Auntie Pushpa.

So you think my mom has your stones?

Let's go find out.

MIRA: There she is.

MIKKU: She's wearing one gardening glove.

-And if the stones are in that pouch

-She's about to plant them.

-Mummy!

-ALL: Stop!

Oh. Hello, dears.

Did you find your stones, Mira?

Well, that's why we're here,

Auntie Pushpa. We think you may have

-accidentally taken the pouch they're in.

-Well, let me look.

This seed pouch is filled with

(GASPS) painted stones!

Oh, I am so sorry, Mira.

I must've taken them by accident.

I'm just happy we found them.

Auntie, I think this belongs to you.

Oh, my other glove.

Thank you, dear.

I was wondering where that was.

You would not believe

how hard it is to garden with one glove.

The case of Mira's missing stones

BOTH: is closed.

Is it too late to get seeds

so we can plant a tree?

-The shop is probably closed.

-Oh, I got seeds for everyone,

just like you asked, Priya.

With all the commotion,

I forgot to give them to you.

-Thanks, Auntie.

-Thanks, Mummy.

CHIKKU: Let's plant the tamarind seeds

first, so we can eat some tamarinds.

MIKKU: Well, we can eat them

in a few years, Chikku,

after the tamarind trees grow

and then the tamarinds get ripe

SAHIL: Ah, this is the perfect way

to end the day of planting.

I forgot how much I love this game.

I'm so happy it's yours now.

Papa, there's something I've to tell you.

After I promised you

I'd take good care of them,

I lost the stones.

But you did find them.

Yes, with the help of my friends.

Mikku, Chikku, your dirt is ready.

Let's get those seeds in the ground.

Hey, Priya, watch this.

-BOTH: Shake, shake, shake.

-(LAUGHS)

SAHIL: (LAUGHS) You have

wonderful friends, Beti.

The most amazing friends ever.

Now are you ready to watch me win?

Oh. We'll see about that.

MIRA: "Mystery at the Jalpur Games."

Nice one, Mira.

Next year, you'll be ready

for the Jalpur Games.

Thanks, Papa. But for today,

I'm just happy to be helping you out.

Oh, what would I do without you, Beti?

Ah. Here are the rest of the arrows.

Perfect. That means we're all set.

We've got our track for the running race,

the bikes and the targets or archery.

MIKKU: Mira, you're forgetting one thing.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: The announcers!

MIKKU: We are here

CHIKKU: to announce.

How do you like our

BOTH: announcer voices!

(BOTH LAUGH)

-Very nice, guys.

-Whoa, impressive.

-Uh, hi.

-Hi, Uncle.

I'm so excited.

-Looks like our competitors are here.

-Okay, everyone. Get warmed up.

-We'll start in a bit.

-(BREATHING DEEPLY)

-(PLAYERS GRUNTING)

-(EXHALING)

Dhruv, you forgot your bag.

Oh. Thanks, Mira.

-What's that?

-Oh, it's just a little invention

I'm working on.

I'll just take that back now.

Mikku, Chikku,

now that everyone is here, we can begin.

Take it away, announcers.

MIKKU: Ready, Chikku?

CHIKKU: Mikku, I was born ready.

MIKKU: It is time

CHIKKU: for the finals

of the Jalpur Games!

(PEOPLE CHEERING AND HOOTING)

Welcome, friends.

And a special thanks to Mira

for helping out with today's event.

(PEOPLE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

Now, over the last few days

we've had sporting events

leading up to today's finals.

And three wonderful athletes

have qualified.

-Please welcome Meena

-(PEOPLE CHEERING)

-Dhruv and Ranjeet.

-(WHOOPING)

-MANJEET: Ranjeet!

-You can do it, Meena.

Give it all you've got, darling.

I'm going to bring home the medal.

No way, Meena.

I've been training so hard for today.

If only I didn't have to

bike against Ranjeet.

He's the best biker in Jalpur.

Dhruv, just give it what you've got.

Okay, little buddy?

Ranjeet, you've come this far,

now focus and bring it.

-Bring it, Brother.

-Thanks, Manjeet.

You know I will.

There are three events,

running, archery and biking.

The winner of the most events

will be the Jalpur Games champion.

First up, the running race.

Runners, please line up on your markers.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Come on, Dhruv, you've got this.

I can do this.

Bring it.

Ready. Steady

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

-(GIRL WHOOPS) Yeah!

-(CHEERING)

MANJEET: Go, Ranjeet.

MIKKU: And they're off!

MANJEET: Go, Ranjeet.

CHIKKU: The crowd is cheering.

The sun is shining.

The announcers are handsome and charming.

Chikku, you're supposed

to talk about the race.

You talk about the race, Mikku.

I wanna talk about

the announcers.

MIKKU: And Dhruv takes the lead.

CHIKKU: Ooh, but Ranjeet is making a move.

He's about to pass Dhruv.

What about me, guys?

I'm making a move, too.

Ooh. Now Meena is making a move.

And now the announcers

are making some moves.

I can win this.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: And Ranjeet wins.

-(PEOPLE CHEERING)

-Oh.

Nice running, everyone. Have some water.

Good job, Dhruv.

(GRUNTS) I really needed to win that one.

Dhruv, it's okay.

There are still two more events to go.

-And archery is up next.

-Great job, Brother, but remember,

you've got two more events to go.

Pace yourself.

Got it, Manjeet. Pace myself. Pace myself.

Uh, Mira, can you come here, please?

We have a big problem.

The arrows are missing.

ALL: What?

They were right in these stands.

We can't have an archery contest

without arrows.

Don't worry, Papa. We'll find them.

We're on the case.

Okay, let's look for some clues.

We are now looking for clues.

Chikku, you don't have to

announce everything today.

I will not be announcing everything today,

only some things, like looking for clues.

Seriously?

There's not much time, Mira.

I'm afraid we may have to

cancel the games.

Papa, what if we switch the event order?

If we do the bike race next, then archery,

it gives us some time

to solve the mystery.

Great idea.

I'll tell everyone that

the bike race is up next.

-Not finding anything, Mira.

-Sorry.

Wait a second.

These look like the same feathers

that the arrows have on them. Nice work.

Just, you know, using our heads.

Guys, let's search this area

and see if we can find more feathers.

-They could lead us to the missing arrows.

-BOTH: On it.

CHIKKU: We're now looking for feathers.

Looking for feathers, people.

Okay, racers.

Time to begin the bike race.

Mira, have you seen Dhruv?

I haven't.

I'm coming. Sorry, everyone.

-Here I am.

-Is everything okay, son?

Yes. Fine, perfect. Couldn't be better.

Good then we can begin.

Okay, Mira. Where's the flag?

Right here. I mean, right here.

The first person to race two times

around the track is the winner.

Here we go!

Ready, steady

-(BLOWS WHISTLE)

-Come on

PUSHPA: Pedal from the legs!

CHIKKU: And the bike race begins

while we are looking for feathers.

Another strong lead for Ranjeet.

Would you say he's performing

at the top of his game today, Chikku?

I don't know.

I'm too busy looking for feathers.

-(KIDS LAUGHING)

-CHIKKU: Feathers? Anyone?

Huh, another feather from an arrow.

I wonder what it's doing near the tent.

SAHIL: Racers, this is your last lap.

(PEOPLE WHOOPING)

Whoa!

Whoa.

-What is going on with Dhruv?

-(DHRUV SCREAMING)

-(DHRUV SCREAMING)

-What's up with Dhruv?

Dhruv is out of control, people.

-Whoa!

-Hey, watch it, Dhruv.

Sorry. So sorry.

Dhruv, stay in your lane.

Sorry, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is he okay?

And now it looks like Dhruv

is back in control and ahead.

Looks like any minute

he'll be in the next town.

And the winner is

BOTH: Dhruv!

-MIKKU: Followed by Ranjeet and Meena.

-(WHOOPING AND CHEERING)

I can't believe I lost.

That was supposed to be my best event.

At least you won the running race.

I haven't won anything.

Hey, Dhruv, congrats.

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

Kids, please park your bikes by the tent

-and help yourselves to water.

-RANJEET: Thanks, Uncle.

MEENA: Sure, thanks.

DHRUV: Okay.

Hey.

There's some more feathers

stuck in Dhruv's back wheel.

And that looks like Dhruv's invention

attached to his bike.

Mira, any luck finding those arrows?

No, but I think I'm getting close.

I need a little more time

so I can ask someone a few questions.

I know what we can do.

Everyone, we're going to take

a little break before archery.

Stand, stretch or grab a snack

from the chai cart right over there.

-Did someone say "snack break"?

-Approved!

-Dhruv, can I talk to you for a moment?

-Me? Sure. Um, what's, uh, going on?

I noticed your invention

is attached to your bike.

Is that why your bike went really fast?

Yeah, when you turn the crank,

it makes the wheels go extra fast.

It takes a long time to attach,

but it's totally worth it.

Uh, I mean, never mind.

It takes a long time to attach?

Dhruv, did you take the arrows

to give yourself extra time?

Uh Well, uh

Think this through with me.

I saw feathers from the arrows

on your back wheel.

I couldn't figure out

why you might take the arrows

until I noticed your invention.

I realized you might've taken the arrows

to stop the competition,

so you would have extra time

to put the invention on your bike.

Your invention that made your bike

go faster and helped you win.

You're right, Mira.

I had to use my invention.

I lost the running race.

It was the only way I could beat Ranjeet.

He's the best biker in all of Jalpur.

Dhruv, I know you want to win,

but using an invention to

make your bike go faster isn't fair.

I know. I shouldn't have done it.

I better tell everyone.

-(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

-Excuse me?

Everybody.

I have something to say.

What is it, Dhruv?

Between the first two events,

I took the arrows.

-(ALL GASP)

-You took the arrows?

Yes, Uncle. I did.

I needed time to put a special invention

on the back of my bike

to make it go faster.

Dhruv, if that invention

made your bike go faster,

that means you cheated.

(ALL GASP)

Does that mean Dhruv

didn't win the bike race?

What? You were all

wondering the same thing.

Yes, Meena. You are correct.

Dhruv, because you cheated,

you may not compete in the Jalpur Games.

I understand. I'm really sorry, everyone.

Uncle, is it okay if I watch

the rest of the games?

Of course, Dhruv.

Well, I think that means

we can announce

BOTH: Case closed.

And now that we have the arrows,

it's time for our last event.

ALL: Archery.

(PEOPLE CLAPPING)

Okay, Meena and Ranjeet,

you have one minute

to hit the center of your target

with as many arrows as you can.

Ready?

Steady

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(KID WHOOPING) Go. Go. Go.

MIKKU: Meena and Ranjeet

are giving it all they've got.

And so are the announcers. Look at us go.

(MIKKU AND CHIKKU HOOTING)

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

And that's time.

The winner of this event

is Meena!

-(PEOPLE APPLAUDING)

-I won!

-Yeah!

-MIRA: Whoo-hoo! Go, Meena.

That's my Meena.

I love you, darling.

-(WHOOPING)

-BOY: Go, Meena!

-GIRL: Go. Go. Go.

-Oh, I'm so proud of you.

That brings us to the end of our events.

Mira, please share the results.

Of, course, Papa.

Since the bike race didn't count,

and Meena and Ranjeet each won an event,

this year's Jalpur Games

are a tie.

-(CHEERING)

-Way to go, brother.

Wonderful, wonderful.

These are for you.

Well done.

PUSHPA: That's my Meena!

Congratulations. You both deserve this.

Thanks, Dhruv. See you

at the games next year.

Hey, we should train together sometime.

Really? I'd love to.

MIKKU: And the Jalpur Games are over.

Wait. Does this mean that

we have to stop announcing stuff?

No way.

We can keep announcing stuff all day long.
