MIRA: "A Royal Detective Mystery."

Come on, guys. We don't wanna miss him.

Can you believe it, Mikku?

We're having tea with the Queen

and Detective Gupta.

Now aren't you glad

we trimmed our whiskers?

Oh! (GASPS)

So glad.

GUPTA: (HUMMING) Very nice.

Very nice indeed.

Namaste, Detective Gupta.

-I'm Mira.

-Mira!

It is such a delight to finally meet you.

I can't tell you how excited

I am to meet you.

When you were Royal Detective,

I followed every one of your cases.

I have questions. So many questions.

Good! Very good, Mira.

A detective must always ask questions.

We have a question, too. When is tea?

Mira!

Your Majesty. Prince Neel.

-Hey, Mira.

-Oh, good.

You met Detective Gupta.

Please, everyone. Join us for tea.

Detective Gupta,

how long will you be in Jalpur?

Oh, I'm only passing through

on my travels.

I have been searching for years

for the most beautiful,

natural wonder of the world.

A waterfall called, Champa Falls.

MIRA: So beautiful.

NEEL: Wow! Exquisite.

GUPTA: I drew a picture

of how it was described to me,

but I must see it for myself.

Detective Gupta,

you left this book for me.

The Unsolved Mysteries of Jalpur.

I have a question about the first case.

Mira doesn't waste any time.

Yes, I picked up on that.

It says,

"There is a hidden treasure

in the hills above Jalpur."

What is this treasure?

A tower of laddus?

A giant fountain of mango lassi?

(CHUCKLES) That would make

for a very tasty snack.

I don't know what the treasure is.

There are many stories,

but no one has ever found it.

Where should I start looking?

Are there any clues?

There's a map I can show you

in the Royal Detective office.

Great! Let's go!

I mean, if it's okay with you,

Your Majesty.

Of course, Mira.

I know you will crack the case.

Thank you, Queen Shanti.

Ah-ha! Here it is.

The person who hid that treasure

left this map to show where it's buried.

NEEL: Hey! That looks like the hills

right outside of town.

It does! Let's go check it out.

-I'm in.

-Me too.

Okay! It sounds like you have

a good handle on the case, Mira.

I'll be on my way then.

Detective Gupta, you can't leave now.

We need you on the case too.

Oh, no, no, no. I'm retired.

You are the Royal Detective

of Jalpur now, Mira.

Detective Gupta,

you have so much experience

and I have so much to learn from you.

I'd love to hear your tips.

Won't you join us? Please?

BOTH: Please?

How can you say no

to those faces?

Well, I suppose I could stay

a little longer.

-BOTH: Yes!

-Great!

Thank you so much.

All right, everyone. We are on the case!

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Look a little closer

With your magnifying glass ♪

Open up your notebook ♪

Get our coats

Ask all the questions

BOTH: Ooh.

Listen for answers

Find what you're after ♪

Just like I used to do ♪

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

(CHUCKLES) My old Royal Detective jacket.

It still fits.

Looking sharp, Detective.

Okay, we have the map,

so we're ready to head to the cave.

NEEL: And I have the perfect way

to get us there.

Oh! A rickshaw with wings.

Really clever, Prince Neel.

Thanks! Hop in!

MIKKU: What's he doing?

I think he's walking?

Detective Gupta, it'll be much faster

on Neel's flycycle.

And fluffier.

You asked for tips, Mira.

Here is my first one.

A detective must have

a strong mind and body.

And so, I will walk.

Oh! Then I will walk, too.

I'll take my flycycle.

Just in case we need it later.

-Yes!

-We need it now.

Detective Gupta, wait! I'm coming!

NEEL: Get comfortable.

We may be waiting for them for a while.

-Did you bring snacks?

-No.

Maybe Mira brought some. Let's go ask her.

Wait, Mira's here already?

MIKKU: Yup! Right behind Detective Gupta.

(MIRA PANTING)

He's fast.

So where do we look now?

Any hints on the map?

The trail leads to an eagle shape.

It might be a clue.

Wait, I see a rock up there

that's shaped like an eagle.

Maybe the treasure is buried under it.

Good eye, Mira. Very good eye.

We'll definitely need my flycycle

to get up there.

(CLANGING)

Uh, what's he doing now?

It looks like he's

pulling out climbing gear.

Indeed.

I take it wherever I go.

You never know when you'll need

to scale a cliff

and so, I will climb.

Then I will climb, too.

Very good, Mira!

There's plenty of rope

if anyone else wants to join us.

Why not?

Let's do this!

Nice work, Mira. That's it.

Almost there, Prince Neel.

(MONKEY CHITTERING)

Aw! Hi, little monkey.

MIRA AND NEEL: Phew!

-All right! We made it.

-NEEL: That was great!

Well done, you two.

Come on! Work those mongoose muscles.

(CHIKKU AND MIKKU GRUNTING)

BOTH: Whoa!

CHIKKU: Detective Gupta isn't even tired.

MIRA: Okay, there's the rock

shaped like an eagle.

Let's dig around it

and see if we can find the treasure.

Digging is our specialty.

Here are some shovels.

Boy, my paws are sore.

Hmm. We checked the whole area.

Where could it be?

I'm taking a nap.

Ow!

Chikku, are you okay?

I'm fine. No big deal.

Just hit my foot on a box.

-A box?

-Where?

Let's see!

I don't see any way to open it.

CHIKKU: Neel!

BOTH: We got this!

(BOTH GRUNTING AND PANTING)

-BOTH: Uh-uh.

-No.

I know.

BOTH: Look out below!

Nope. Still not open.

This is ridiculous.

Hmm. There's no keyhole

and we can't break it open.

Mira, here's your second tip.

Royal Detectives have a favorite saying.

When solving a mystery gets tough

look closer.

Ah! You know that one already.

Looking closer at the box,

I see a piece that's a different color.

(GASPS) Hey! It slides open.

-What is it?

-What's inside?

A note.

"Follow the monkey and you will find

"a beautiful treasure

right before your eyes."

Follow the monkey?

What's that supposed to mean?

Wait a second.

When I was climbing the cliff,

I saw a baby monkey.

It ran off that way.

Oh! Maybe the monkey

can lead us to the treasure.

Let's go find it.

Look, paw prints.

More over here.

(MONKEY CHITTERING)

(MONKEY HOOTING EXCITINGLY)

Let's follow that monkey!

(MONKEYS SCREAMING AND CHITTERING)

Um, which one, Detective Gupta?

Let's split up, so we can follow them all.

(CHIKKU YELPS)

Chikku, we're supposed to be chasing them.

Over here, little guy,

where are you going?

Over here? What's over here?

Hey!

Oh, no! He did not just take

the Royal Detective's magnifying glass.

Give that back, baby monkey!

(GRUNTS AND SIGHS)

Mira, your third tip of the day.

When you are on a case,

be prepared for anything,

such as encountering a monkey.

This happened quite often

when I was Royal Detective.

Long story.

And so it is always good to keep

an extra banana with you.

BOTH: Genius!

How about a trade, little ones?

-(MONKEYS CHITTERING)

-(GUPTA CHUCKLES)

Thank you, my friends!

That's a good trick.

I'm gonna remember that one.

Here you go, Mira.

Safe and sound.

Phew! Thank you so much.

Whoever hid this treasure

did not make it easy to find.

What do we do now?

I suggest we continue to look closer.

Or maybe we need to step back.

If you look from a distance,

those rocks make the shape of a monkey.

Oh, yeah! There's the head.

GUPTA: And the tail!

-I'm so over monkeys.

-Me, too.

Wait a second.

Let's think this through.

The note says, "Follow the monkey

and you will find a beautiful treasure."

Maybe it doesn't mean

we should follow a real monkey.

It means we should follow

the trail of rocks

that are in the shape of a monkey.

-(CHUCKLES) Very clever, Mira.

-Thanks.

(BOTH SPEAKING HINDI)

-(BOTH CHUCKLE)

-BOTH: Let's go!

Here's the monkey's tail.

Ah, yes.

It winds around.

And it ends here.

"You will find a beautiful treasure

right before your eyes."

All my eyes see are trees.

Yeah, where's the treasure?

Patience, my little friends. Patience.

Not all of the trees

look the same, do they?

That tree has vines with flowers on them.

Which means we can walk through them

like a curtain.

-ALL: Whoa!

-Follow me.

MIRA: Beautiful!

NEEL: Incredible!

The hidden treasure is

a waterfall!

Not just any waterfall.

It's Champa Falls!

It looks just like your picture.

I have traveled the world searching for it

and here it is!

Right in our backyard!

I'm so glad we found it together.

I've learned so much from you,

Detective Gupta.

And I learned a lot from you too, Mira.

That idea to take a step back,

oh! Brilliant!

I love the way you look at the world.

The kingdom is in excellent hands.

-You got that right.

-So true.

Prince Neel, I would very much enjoy

taking your flycycle back to the palace.

Of course! You must be tired.

I'll be happy to take you.

Actually, I had another idea.

Oh! This is glorious!

ALL: Wow!

GUPTA: Now, let's see how fast

this thing can go!

(ALL LAUGHING)

MIRA: "The Mystery of the Missing Crown."

Hi, Deputy Oosha.

(OOSHA MOOING)

Ooh!

Pretty picture.

It should go in a museum.

That's not a piece of art, guys.

It's a wanted poster.

It means, Oosha is on the lookout

for those bandits

and the monkey who works with them.

That monkey is not to be trusted.

Yeah, he's a thief.

So what did they do this time?

(MOOING)

Oh! I heard about that.

They stole some costumes

from a theater, right?

(MOOING)

We're headed to the palace now,

but we'll keep

an eye out for them, Deputy.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Bye, Oosha!

If I saw that monkey,

I would tell him

(IMITATING MONKEY)

What does that mean?

No idea. I don't speak monkey.

(HORSE WHINNIES)

Mira! Hello, dear.

Good morning, Your Majesty.

Prince Veer, Prince Neel.

BOTH: Hi, Mira!

Queen Shanti, are you going away?

Just for the day.

I'll be back this evening.

And while I'm gone,

Prince Veer is in charge.

Veer, as future king,

I trust the kingdom will be

in good hands with you.

You have nothing to worry about, Mother.

I will make you proud.

Ah, wonderful, dear.

Goodbye, everyone.

BOTH: Goodbye, Mother!

-Bye, Queen Shanti.

-See you.

So, Veer, now that you're in charge,

how about making today a holiday?

Yes! The day of free food

for all the mongooses across the land.

(LAUGHS)

Guys, I'm sure Veer

has other things in mind.

I do, Mira. In fact,

I wanna show you something.

Follow me.

ALL: Whoa!

Now, that's a crown.

Can I borrow it?

Sorry, Chikku.

According to family tradition,

it can only be worn

by the future king of Jalpur.

Meaning, me.

My mother put it on display

-so everyone could see it.

-(GOATS BLEATING)

Goats? In front of the palace?

That doesn't sound good.

Don't worry, everyone.

I will see what's going on.

-Watch your goats! Be careful.

-(GOATS BLEATING)

Be careful. This is dangerous.

So sorry!

Goat herders, remove your goats

from the premises at once, please.

We're trying! Come back here!

Oh, no! Over here!

Come to me!

Excuse me, goat herders.

How did all these goats get here?

Mira, I am in charge today.

I will handle this.

Excuse me, goat herders.

How did all these goats get here?

Oh, Your Highness!

We are so very sorry.

We were herding our goats

and we got lost!

Now, our goats are completely confused.

My friends Mikku and Chikku

are excellent at herding goats.

I'm sure they can help.

Professional goat herders!

At your service, people.

No, no. Not to worry.

I will take care of this!

Guards! Please herd the goats

away from the premises at once.

BOTH: Yes, Your Highness.

Come back here! Come back here!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Uh-oh! A few of them

just went into the palace.

Veer, you should really

let the mongooses help you.

Ugh. Okay, fine. Go ahead.

BOTH: It's goats time.

CHIKKU: That's it, move it along.

Hey, you! Goats in the palace,

come on out here.

Good goats. Great goats.

Nice job, Mikku and Chikku.

Thank you, squirrels.

BOTH: We're mongooses!

We will be on our way, now.

Bye-bye. Come along, goats.

Now, that's taken care of.

So, let's go look at my crown some more.

I wanna show you my favorite part.

Oh, no! The crown! It's gone!

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Uh-oh!

-This is bad.

What is Mother gonna say

if she returns and I don't have it?

What kind of future king loses his crown?

Don't worry, Prince Veer.

We'll find your crown.

We are on the case!

Okay, everyone.

Let's start looking for clues.

Mira, Mira. I know

you're a good detective,

but don't forget, my mother,

the Queen, put me in charge today.

But Mira is the Royal Detective.

Yes, little brother,

but as future king of Jalpur,

I need to show Mother

that I can fix any problem by myself.

Therefore, Mira,

I won't be needing your services today.

I am in the case.

That's "on the case," Prince Veer.

Mira, I think Veer really needs you today.

Let's keep searching

just in case he doesn't find the crown.

Maybe there are some clues

by the display case.

I found something.

Hoof prints.

Chikku, of course there are hoof prints.

There were goats everywhere.

They still could be a clue.

Good eye, Chikku.

You're welcome.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

Hey! What's with all the noise?

Keep it down! We're on a case, people.

Something's going on in the kitchen.

Let's check it out.

Excuse me.

Would you mind telling me

what happened here?

Oh, Mira, I'm not sure.

I walked out of the kitchen for a moment,

when I returned I found this mess!

There's cinnamon everywhere!

But I didn't see anyone.

Huh

Well, I saw some of the goats

run into the palace before.

Maybe one of them is still in here.

Yeah! And knocked over the bowl.

Mira! I found the most incredible clues.

That's great, Veer. What did you find?

A feather, a piece of paper and a jewel.

What do they have to do

with the missing crown?

Well, naturally,

the thief had a feather on his head

that fell off.

And maybe he wrapped the crown

in this paper.

And a jewel is always a good clue.

Am I right? (CHUCKLES)

Those don't sound like clues.

Nope. Not at all, (PANTS) Your Highness.

What do you mean

they don't sound like clues?

Well, a clue needs to tell us

some information about the case.

I don't think these do that.

Veer, are you sure you don't need help?

Absolutely not, little brother.

I have everything under control.

Guards! Come along.

We shall continue detect-iving.

That's not a word.

Hey, check this out.

There are some little prints

in the cinnamon.

So maybe a goat is still in the palace.

But this print isn't from a goat

like the ones we found before. See?

You're right. It's more of a paw print.

BOTH: It wasn't us.

We don't even like crowns.

I mean, we like them a little bit.

(LAUGHS) I know

you didn't steal the crown, guys.

Hmm. Look where these paw prints lead.

To the window?

Ah-ha!

That means the thief, who has paws,

but is not myself or Mikku,

jumped through this window.

I don't see any paw prints down there.

That's because they go up there.

(CHANDELIER SQUEAKING)

(ALL GASP)

How is that possible?

There must be an explanation.

Let's go upstairs and figure out

where those paw prints lead.

This is right above

the window downstairs.

And this is where the prints end.

-(BOTH SCREAM)

-Look! A sleeping goat.

Maybe that goat took the crown.

Time to wake up, Mr. Goat.

-Wake up time.

-Wake up, buddy.

BOTH: Huh?

That's not a goat!

It's a goat costume!

I was not expecting that!

So maybe when those goats

ran into the palace,

someone disguised as a goat

came in with them and stole the crown.

Who could fit inside this costume?

It's too small for a person.

And it doesn't fit a mongoose.

So it must've been

some other kind of animal.

Let's go talk to Ram Singh Ji.

Maybe he noticed something

when the goats were running around.

Ram Singh Ji, I need

to ask you some questions.

-When the goats

-VEER: Mira!

May I have a word with you?

Of course, Prince Veer.

My mother will be back soon

and I haven't found the crown.

I might never find it.

(SIGHS)

How can I show her I'll be a good king

when I can't even

find the crown by myself?

Veer, when I first became Royal Detective,

I wanted to do everything by myself too.

-You did?

-Yes.

And I tried,

but I realized that to be a good detective

and a good leader,

I had to ask other people for help

and there's nothing wrong with that.

Asking for help.

What an interesting concept.

So, Mira, would you, uh

(SIGHS)

help me find the crown?

Prince Veer, I would love to.

Everyone, I am officially putting Mira

in charge of this case.

-CHIKKU: Finally.

-Good thinking, Veer.

Thanks, Prince Veer.

Now, Ram Singh Ji,

did you notice anything strange

when those goats got loose?

Yes. One of the goats made an odd noise.

It didn't sound like a goat.

It was something like

(IMITATING MONKEY)

Wait a second. That sounds like

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: A monkey!

-Yes!

And we heard about a monkey earlier today.

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Right!

-Let's think this through.

This morning, we saw a poster

of those bandits and that monkey.

It said they stole a trunk

full of costumes.

What if that monkey put on a goat costume

and pretended to be a goat?

Then, when the bandits

pretended to be goat herders,

the monkey could've snuck into the palace,

taken the crown,

climbed up the outside to escape

and left the goat costume behind.

-(CHIKKU AND MIKKU GASP)

-What?

I must find those bandits and that monkey.

Leave it to me! I will track them down.

(CHIKKU AND MIKKU CLEAR THROAT)

Oh, right.

Would you all help me

catch those bandits? Please?

-Oh, yeah.

-Of course.

Ram Singh Ji, did you see

which way the goat herders went?

Yes, Mira. My guards had

to escort them out of town.

I'll prepare your carriage.

And call for Deputy Oosha, please.

The three of us make an excellent team,

don't you think?

By the order of His Highness,

Prince Veer of Jalpur, stop right there!

BOTH: Huh?

I command you to give me back

the royal crown you stole.

Crown? What crown?

The one on your head.

I told you not to wear that thing.

But it looked so good on me.

(MOOING)

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Got it!

This is gonna look great on Prince Veer.

You're right.

My head is a perfect shape for it.

Almost.

Thanks, Mikku and Chikku.

And that's case closed.

(MOOING)

Deputy Oosha, do your thing.

-(MOOING)

-(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

Guys, it's getting dark.

Oh, no!

Mother will be home any minute.

Ram Singh Ji, how fast

can those horses go?

Your Highness, let's find out.

(HORSES WHINNY)

-We're gonna make it.

-Let's go, let's go!

-Hurry!

-Open it!

Come on, come on, come on! Hurry up!

QUEEN SHANTI: Hello, everyone.

VEER: Welcome back, Mother.

MIRA, CHIKKU AND MIKKU:

Namaste, Queen Shanti.

Veer, how did everything go today?

Oh, wonderful, Mother.

Actually, that's not true.

I tried to do everything by myself

and it didn't work out well at all.

Luckily, Mira made me realize

that sometimes it's good

to ask others for help.

Wonderful.

That will be very important

for you to remember when you are king.

Prince Veer,

I think you're going

to make a great leader.

Thank you, Mira.

So, Veer, when you're king,

you're gonna want

the most delicious snacks.

And you'll need someone

to taste the snacks.

MIKKU: Do we know the mongooses for you.
