MIRA: "The Case

(PEOPLE TALKING INDISTINCTLY)
MIKKU: Thank you, thank you.
You're too kind.
Mira, why is everybody
being so nice to us?
(GIGGLES) Mikku, Chikku,
I think they're all amazed
by this new mobile library.
We knew that.
-Hi, Papa!
-Ah, Mira!
Right this way, beti.
Oh, perfect.
Thank you for your help, Mira.
Of course, Papa.
I'm so excited Jalpur finally has
its own mobile library.
-NEEL: Hi, everyone.
-ALL: Hi, Prince Neel.
NEEL: I got more books from my mom
for the library.
Wonderful!
Is there any room left on the shelves?
There's always room for more books.
(LAUGHS) That's the spirit.
Whoa, we get to read all these books?
Everyone gets to read them, Chikku.
This library is for the whole town.

-Hey, everyone.
-ALL: Hi, Dhruv.
I brought back my book.
The Magical Monsoon.
Thanks, Dhruv. Here's the slip.
It goes back inside.
I'll put it on the return shelf.
Ooh, I want to read
The Magical Monsoon, too.
Me too! Me too!
-How was it?
-All I can say is "Wow!"
The opening pulls you right in.
The middle had action. Suspense.
I laughed. I cried. And the end!
Can you believe the final twist?
Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
ALL: Don't tell me. Don't tell me.
Sorry. Dhruv,
they haven't read the book yet.
So many of us want to read it.
There's a waiting list.
We're all taking turns.
Well, it's worth the wait. Let me tell ya.
-See you guys later.
-ALL: Bye, Dhruv!
-So, who's next on the waiting list?
-Let's check.
Neel read it. Dhruv read it.
Next up is
Ooh. Say Chikku, say Chikku, say Chikku.
-Mikku.
-Yes! I knew it was my lucky day.
(WITH DISMAY) Oh!
Lucky kiss.
(GASPING) Thanks, Dimple.
Mira, am I on the list to read
The Magical Monsoon, too?
You sure are, Kamala.
In the meantime,
I'd like to check out this book.
Ooh. Good choice.
You're in for a real treat.
Mikku and Chikku can help you.
Step aside. We are on
BOTH: Check out duty.
Step one, find the slip.
Step two, get it stamped.
Or two, or three, or four, or five, six
I think the book is stamped, Chikku.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Step three. You take the book,
and I put the slip in the box.
Kamala, enjoy.
Please return the book in three days.
Got it. Dimple?
-Dimple?
-(DIMPLE GIGGLING)
Where are you going?
(DIMPLE LAUGHING PLAYFULLY)
I gotta chase down my sister.
See you later.
Mira, I don't think I can wait any longer.
I need to start reading
The Magical Monsoon, now!
Sounds good to me.
You are next on the list.
Yes! Uh, where's the book?
Dhruv said he put it back
on the return shelf.
But it's not here.
It's not?
BOTH: It's not?
Mira, we have to find that book.
Seriously.
Trust me. We will.
We're on the case
of the missing library book.
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 your coat

Ask all the questions

BOTH: Ooh.
Listen for answers

That's what detectives do ♪
We're on the case
We're on the case ♪
We're on the case ♪
So we know Dhruv brought back
the book, right?
-ALL: Right.
-Maybe someone checked out the book,
-but we didn't see them do it.
-Then the checkout slip
-would be in the box.
-Exactly. Let's look.
-MIKKU: Is it there?
-It's gotta be.
It's
Mmm. Not here.
Very strange.
There must be a simple explanation.
There is, Mira.
BOTH: Someone stole it.
Because they don't want us to read.
Guys. Let's not jump to conclusions.
What if someone took the book
but forgot to check it out?
But, Mira, the checkout slip
has the person's name on it.
If you don't have the slip
-It's impossible to find out who took it.
-We'll find a way.
Let's start by looking for clues.
Huh, interesting.
It looks like there's a fingerprint here.
MIKKU: Where? Where? I don't see it.
It's kind of hard to see.
But not if I use my fingerprint kit.
-Ooh.
-Fancy.
How is that gonna help?
Let me show you.
Everyone has their own
special fingerprint,
and every time we touch something,
we leave a fingerprint.
Chikku, you just left a fingerprint here.
I did?
Yep. An if I sprinkle it with powder
(BLOWS) put a piece
of sticky paper over it,
and press down,
when I pull it up, your print
is on the paper. See?
Hey, you're right. It's a match.
-She's good.
-Now, let's check the fingerprint
that's near where the book was.
I'll sprinkle some more powder
(BLOWS) use the paper,
and here's the print.
If we can find the person
who has a fingerprint
that matches the one on this shelf
we may be able to figure out
who took the book.
Exactly.
There are so many fingers
and paws everywhere.
Yeah. Where do we start looking?
Let's talk to Dhruv.
Maybe he saw someone pick up the book.
Papa, we'll be back soon.
Good luck. I'll be here for anyone
who wants to check out a book.
The library is open!
-(GASPS)
-Well, well
Dhruv! Just the person we want to see.
-What's going on?
-You tell us, Dhruv. You tell us.
-(GASPS)
-Chikku. Get the vase.
Why? It's got his fingerprint on it.
Swipe it. Swipe it.
Without Dhruv noticing.
-You realize I'm standing right here.
-Huh?
Why are you listening in
on our secret conversation? Hmm?
-Hi, Dhruv.
-Mira, what are Mikku and Chikku doing?
They're helping me look for
-The Magical Monsoon book.
-What? It's missing?
Yep. And it's our only copy of it.
Dhruv. Good news.
Your fingerprint does not match
the fingerprint we found on the shelf.
You're free to go.
You thought I took the book?
I already read the book.
Hmm. He has a point, Mikku.
Dhruv, did you see anyone pick up the book
after you returned it?
-No. I didn't.
-Okay, thanks.
-We'll keep looking.
-Sounds good.
-See you later, Dhruv.
-Where to now?
Let's go talk to Kamala.
Maybe she saw something.
Here you go, Mrs. Choudhury.
Hi, guys.
My mom just made
a fresh batch of chai with ginger.
-Would you like some?
-Yes!
I mean, after we finish
our official business.
KAMALA: Huh? What official business?
The library's only copy of
The Magical Monsoon is missing.
-Did you see anyone take it?
-No. I didn't.
People, we've taken some fingerprints
around the chai cart.
And we have found that there is no match.
That's good news for you, Kamala.
You are free to go.
Free to go where?
What are you talking about?
Mira, I hope you find the book.
I really want to read it.
Don't worry, Kamala. We'll find it.
Mira, take a look at this.
-A checkout slip.
-CHIKKU: Wait a minute.
There are checkout slips for chai?
No, Chikku. Only for books.
You're not going to believe this.
The checkout slip
is for The Magical Monsoon.
-ALL: What?
-Since the slip was in the book,
whoever took it must've been here.
And the slip must've fallen out.
Exactly. Kamala, did you see any customers
holding a book?
No. Sorry. I didn't.
Hold on. Hold on.
I know who took the book.
-Who?
-You.
(GASPS) Me?
Admit it. You wanted to read the book.
You couldn't wait your turn.
Let me get your pawprint.
You'll have to catch me first.
(DIMPLE HUMMING)
Gooses. (GIGGLING)
Wait a second, Kamala.
Has Dimple been with you all day?
Yep. We went to the library
and then came back here.
I think I know who has the book.
-BOTH: You do?
-Let's think this through.
We saw Dimple earlier
at the library with Kamala.
What if Dimple took the book off the shelf
and came back here to the chai cart?
If the checkout slip fell off the book,
it explains why we found it on the ground.
You think Dimple has the book?
-My little sister?
-Let's go talk to her.
-CHIKKU: Yoo-hoo!
-Chikku, come back here!
I need your fingerprint.
Whoa!
Gooses. Take mine. Take mine.
You want us to take your fingerprint?
I did not see that coming.
Dimple, we'd be happy
to take your fingerprint.
Hold out your finger so I can
sprinkle some fingerprint powder on it.
Okay, Mira.
DIMPLE: (GIGGLES) That tickles.
MIRA: Now press your finger
on this piece of paper.
DIMPLE: Like this?
MIRA: Perfect.
Let's see if it matches
our mystery fingerprint
that we found in the bookshelf.
ALL: (GASPING) It's a match!
Yay! Yay! I got a match.
Is that good?
It actually helps us a lot, Dimple.
We've been looking for a book
that is missing from the library.
-Did you happen to take one?
-Yep. I sure did.
You did? Okay. Where'd you put it?
I'll show you.
-Right here.
-The Magical Monsoon!
It's a miracle!
Sorry I blamed you, Chikku.
It's okay.
I'm sorry I took it.
My sister loves books.
And I love books, too.
I'm so glad you love books, Dimple.
But when you borrow a book
from the library,
you need to check it out first
with this slip.
That way, the library can keep track
of all of its books and make sure that
-everyone can enjoy them.
-I didn't know that. I'm sorry.
Everyone was so excited about the book.
I wanted to read it, too.
And I don't even know how to read.
I know someone who can read it to you.
-Can that someone be me?
-Oh, oh, oh. And me?
Gooses, yes!
-Oh Hugging.
-Oh. Hugging.
Looks like the case of
the missing library book is closed.
You know what I'm thinking?
Since everyone wants to read the book,
maybe Mikku and Chikku can
read it aloud to all of us.
-Yay, gooses!
-Works for me.
BOTH: It's on.
MIKKU: "Once upon a time"
CHIKKU: "in a magical land, far away,
"there lived a baby elephant"
"who always knew when
the monsoon was coming.
"And when it came,
the monsoon sounded like this."
BOTH: Swoosh Swoosh
Swoosh!
CHIKKU: "But one day,
when the baby elephant heard that sound,
"he saw beautiful sparkles
floating through the air."
-Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle
-(LAUGHTER)
MIKKU: "That's when he knew
it had to be a magical monsoon."
MIRA: "A Double Dosa Mystery."
Mikku, is there anything better than
coming here to the dhaba
and eating a dosa?
(CHOMPING)
I can only think of one thing.
Eating the gigantic dosa
that Sandeep is about to make.
Sandeep. We can't wait to see your dosa
when it's finished.
-Yes, because then we get to
-BOTH: Eat it!
Well, first
the judges have to measure how big it is.
If our dosa is big enough,
the judges will give us a medal
for making the largest dosa ever.
-Are you kidding?
-This is the greatest day of my life!
Like this girl.
She made the biggest samosa ever
and got a medal for it.
Sandeep, is that batter ready?
Yes, Uncle. I'm using a special recipe
from my cousins who live in the south.
Well, I'd better get back to cooking.
Good luck, Sandeep. We're rooting for you.
(GRUNTING)
-Hi, Neel.
-Hello, Prince Neel.
-Hi, Prince Neel.
-Hey, everyone.
Wow. Another giant dosa.
-This must be our lucky day.
-(BOTH SNIFFING)
Guys, it's not a real dosa.
It's a dosa bike.
It's made out of fabric, not food. See?
Neel made this dosa bike as a decoration
for the judging event in the park.
Not only that, I also made it
the perfect size for mongooses to drive.
-BOTH: Really?
-CHIKKU: Yay!
I'm driving.
And there are seats and pedals
for us too, Mira.
-Great, Neel.
-NEEL: Okay. Let's pedal.
CHIKKU AND MIKKU: To the park!
-MIKKU: All right!
-CHIKKU: Oh, yeah.
Hi, Papa, the decorations look great.
Well, hello, everyone.
-Hi there, Adrika.
-BOTH: Hi, little birdie.
Hi, little birdie.
-Hey.
-We just said that.
(CHUCKLES) Guys, remember.
Adrika is the kind of bird
that repeats what people say.
Indeed.
The Queen has asked me
to watch her for the day.
And she just heard some troubling news.
Adrika, please, tell Mira what you heard.
We're going to steal the biggest dosa.
So we can get the medal.
(ALL GASP)
Some people
are going to try to steal the dosa?
Not cool.
Sandeep has been working so hard.
We can't let that happen.
Adrika, do you know who the thieves are?
Who the thieves are.
-BOTH: Who are they?
-Who are they?
-Yeah. Who?
-Yeah. Who?
This bird is not helpful.
Everyone, we must protect the dosa.
Papa, don't worry.
We'll guard the dosa and find the thieves.

The most important thing
is to keep Sandeep's dosa safe
until the judges come to measure it.
How do we do that?
Neel, Mikku, Chikku, let's go to the dhaba
and keep an eye out for anything strange.
And I'll stay here to finish
setting up for the event.
Excuse me.
We are here to measure the giant dosa.
We are the judges.
And you know that because of our
most impressive blue sashes. See?
The judges are here already?
They're early.
Welcome, honored judges.
So, where is this giant dosa
we've heard so much about?
The dosa is still being prepared
over at the dhaba.
It will be ready shortly.
I see. Well, we'll have to find a way
to pass the time until it's ready.
I'm sure we'll think of something.
Shh! Hyah!
See you soon.
Oh, there's so much to do to get ready.
Don't worry, Papa.
While you get things ready,
we'll make sure
nothing happens to the dosa.
-Okay, everyone. Let's spread out.
-We can ride around the dhaba
to make sure
no one gets in to steal the dosa.
Great idea, Neel. And Mikku and Chikku
can guard the dosa. Okay, guys?
Mira
BOTH: We got this.
Hey, Sandeep. We're here to guard this
gigantic, beautiful, stunning dosa.
That's great. Thanks.
My uncle and I need to go inside
to get a few things ready.
-We got you covered.
-You know it.
-(BLEATING)
-Hey, Bhanu.
-(BLEATS)
-Bhanu, where are you going?
Back away from the dosa, Bhanu.
(BLEATS)
We have an intruder, people.
Shoo, go home.
-(CONTINUES BLEATING)
-Bhanu, go home.
MIKKU: We better get him back in his yard.
CHIKKU: Good thinking.
But what about guarding the dosa?
Keeping Bhanu away from the dosa
is guarding it.
Looks like it's all clear.
-I wonder where Mikku and Chikku went.
-Mira, the dosa's gone.
-BOTH: What?
-MIRA: What happened?
Mikku and I really had
this dosa guarding thing down.
Then Bhanu showed up.
We chased him back to his yard
and when we got back,
Sandeep's dosa was gone.
BOTH: We're so sorry.
Can you make another one?
You have to make more batter.
It'll take a long time
to get all the ingredients together.
And the judging is starting soon.
-We're sorry, Sandeep.
-Very sorry.
Don't worry, Sandeep.
Your dosa couldn't have gotten far.
Let's see if we can find any clues.
(SNIFFING)
Mira. Come look at this.
MIRA: A piece of ripped blue fabric.
Sandeep, Mr. Puri, do you recognize this?
No. We don't have anything like that here.
(BOTH SNIFFING)
I smell dosa.
Well, we are at the dhaba.
You know, where dosas are made.
No. We smell a giant dosa
somewhere in that direction.
And it's getting farther away.
So sad.
Do you think if you keep sniffing,
you could find the dosa?
-Yes, Mira.
-Anything to save that dosa.
We need to move fast.
I wish I had my rickshaw.
We don't need it.
I've got something else
that'll work even better.
-(GOATS BLEATING)
-Okay. Let's speed up.
CHIKKU: Official Royal Detective business,
coming through.
Excuse us.
(SNIFFS) I smell dosa.
CHIKKU: Pull over. Pull over.
Mira, over here.
-A piece of dosa.
-CHIKKU: Hmm
Chikku!
What? I wasn't gonna eat it.
Great job, guys.
Huh. There's something on the dosa.
A piece of blue fabric.
Very strange.
You know what else is strange?
It's the same as the one we found before.
Excuse me. Could you please give us
directions to the park?
We are the judges.
We have come to measure the giant dosa.
You're the judges?
But two other judges
already came to the park.
There must be some mistake.
We are the only official judges.
Here is a picture of us
with the largest laddu ever.
MIRA: If these are the real judges,
-who're the people who came to the park?
-And where's the dosa?
Excuse me, judges. May I ask,
do you always wear red sashes?
Yes. Red is the official color
of all the judges.
I see.
Let's think this through.
First, we found a piece
of ripped blue fabric
right where the dosa was last seen.
Then, we found another piece
of ripped blue fabric
by a large chunk of dosa in the road.
-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: So?
-MIRA: The two people
who arrived earlier,
both wore sashes that were blue,
just like the fabric we found.
And since the real judges
only wear red sashes,
I think the other two people
were just pretending to be judges,
so they could steal the dosa.
-(ALL GASP)
-Very sneaky.
This will not stand.
When you were riding into town,
did you see a cart with two people
wearing blue sashes?
Why yes. We did.
We just passed them on that road.
Great. We can still catch up to them,
if we can use your dosa bike, Neel.
Of course, Mira. I'll go get Deputy Oosha.
-Hang on.
-Chalo, chalo. Let's go!
Look. That's their cart!
Oh, yeah.
(BLEATS)
(ALL BLEATING)
You gotta be kidding me.
There it is!
(ALL GASP)
(BOTH GASP)
(CLUCKING)
-Whoa!
-(CLUCKING)
CHIKKU: Oh!
Stop steering our dosa.
Guys. I see them.
BOTH: Peddle faster.
MIRA: Excuse me. Can you pull over?
-I have to ask you a question.
-Uh Sure.
But make it quick. We're in a hurry.
(MOOS AND EXHALES)
I notice your blue sashes are ripped.
What are you? A tailor?
She's a detective.
The Royal Detective.
I found a piece of your sash
where the giant dosa disappeared.
My question is, did you steal it?
(GASPS) Us? Steal a dosa?
(CHUCKLING) Oh, please
We are the judges. Blue sash. Remember?
(SNIFFING)
Are you smelling what I'm smelling?
(SNIFFING) I believe I am, Mikku.
Hey. Paws off our cart.
There it is. Sandeep's dosa.
(MOOING)
-There they are, Deputy Oosha.
-Moo!
It's you two again. The bandits.
Of all the things to steal,
why a giant dosa? Why?
For the leftovers. Obviously.
And, we wanted the judges
to think we made the dosa
so we could win that medal.
We would've gotten it, too,
if it weren't for you.
Just doin' our job.
We're good.
-(MOOING AGGRESSIVELY)
-Okay. We're going.
Why does this keep happening to us?
And that's case closed.
-Nice work, Mira.
-Thanks for your help, everyone.
Now, we need to get Sandeep's dosa
onto the stage for the judging.
Mira, I hate to say this, but the dosa
-doesn't look so good.
-Or big.
Hmm. I have an idea.
Thanks to our very understanding judges,
Sandeep, Mr. Puri and their friends
are making a brand new dosa
right before our very eyes.
(PEOPLE CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
Stand back, kids.
Time to roll it.
Please. Be careful.
We can't damage the dosa.
And now the judges will measure the dosa.
It's gonna be close.
I can't look. I can't look.
We have toured many kingdoms
from the north to the south
and measured some big dosas in our time
but this dosa is
the biggest.
(ALL CHEERING)
I hereby declare
you've officially won the medal.
Won the medal. Won the medal.
Thank you so much.
Now, who wants some dosa?
(ALL CHEERING)
Grab a piece of real dosa
and jump onto our dosa bike.
That's right. Dosa rides, people.
-(BLEATING)
-Bhanu, what are you doing?
-Don't eat our dosa bike.
-(BLEATS)
CHIKKU: The real dosa's over there, Bhanu!
Over there!
