Royal Detective
Mira, Mira, Mira
Mira, Mira, Mira
Hey!
Everybody knows I love
A mystery, big or small

I help my friends
There's nothing
She can't solve
Finding clues is what I do
So the Queen appointed you
Now my job's a dream come true
I'm Mira
Royal Detective
Let's hear it for Mira
Royal Detective

Hey!

Let's hear it for Mira
Royal Detective
MIRA: Mystery on the Overnight Train
Mira, remember to pack
lightweight clothes.
It gets warm in the south.
Yes, Papa. I can't wait to take our first
overnight train trip.
(MIMICKING A TRAIN)
Hi, Mikku. Hi, Chikku.
If I didn't know any better,
I'd say you're looking forward
to our trip.
We sure are.
You know it, people.
I can't believe we get
to sleep on the train.
I packed five laddoos and five mangoes.
And I packed five mangoes
and five laddoos.
That way, we could tell
our suitcases apart.
Papa, where's my Pallanguzhi game?
It's on the shelf.
Do you need me to get it for you?
Nope, I'll just use my grapple grabber.
Knock, knock. Hi, Mira.
Hi, Neel. Are you excited for the trip?
Yes. And I've invented
something super special for it.
Introducing the mobile detective lab.
When you're on the go,
your detective gear can go with you.
That's amazing.
-Oh!
-MIKKU: Sweet.
Wow, Neel.
Look at all the places
I can store my detective gear.
Oh, your magnifying glass goes here.
Your notebook goes there.
MIRA: And my grapple grabber goes here.
The handle pulls out and it's on wheels,
so it rolls easily.
-It's getting away!
-Come back here.
Then to lock the wheels,
you simply press down on this handle
and the whole thing stays put.
See?
Thank you, Neel. I love it.
And the best part?
It makes for a perfect
mongoose-size snack table.
I like where your head is at, Mikku.
Let's get our laddoos out of our suitcases
and start snacking.
Laddoos stay in the suitcase, please.
It's time to head to the train station.
All aboard!
ALL: Yeah!
(BELL DINGING)
Welcome to the Jalpur Express.
My team will get your suitcases
to your room on the train.
Thank you, uncle.
Mira, hold on a second.
The mobile lab has a squeaky wheel.
And a squeaky wheel
does not work for Neel.
Excuse me. May I borrow that can of oil?
By all means, Your Highness.
There. Squeakless.
-Good to go.
-Thanks, Neel.
Want to meet up later
for a game of Palangudi?
Sounds good to me.
All right, time to get on the train.
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: All aboard!
(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)
Whoo-hoo! Bouncy bed.
Whoo-hoo! Bouncy sofa.
-Whoops, not so bouncy Mira.
-(CHUCKLES)
-Hi, Papa.
-I'm back from the dining car.
Wait, there's a restaurant on the train?
Yes, the dining car is where
they serve food.
-Who wants some?
-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Snacks!
Mmm-mmm.
I also brought a menu,
in case anyone wants to order more food.
Oh, we will definitely want
to order more food.
Alrighty, everyone.
I'll be reading in the passenger car
if you need me.
Thanks, Papa.
Who wants to play Palangudi?
-Me, me, me.
-CHIKKU: Me!
(GASPS) My mobile detective lab.
It isn't here!
But your suitcases are.
I'm ready for Palangudi.
-Mira isn't.
-Why not?
My Palangudi game
is in my mobile detective lab
and it didn't get delivered to my room.
That's strange. I got my suitcase.
Mikku and Chikku got theirs.
-Yours must be somewhere on the train.
-Let's go find it.
We're on the case.
(SINGING) We're on the case
We're on the case
We're on the case
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Problem?
I don't have my magnifying glass
or my notebook.
They're in my mobile detective lab.
Mira can't solve this case without
her magnifying glass and notebook.
This is a disaster.
Panicking in three, two
NEEL: No need to panic, Mira.
When you don't have what you need,
just use what you've got.
What do you mean?
Well, all kinds of things can be useful,
even in an unusual way.
(SINGING) Here's what you do
Just put your mind to it
Look all around
Now what can you spot
Take what you find
And make something new, yeah
Here's what to do
Just use what you've got
(TRAIN CHUGGING)
A bottle of water
More than meets the eye
Check it out
It can magnify
You need a pen
How about this feather
Mix powder for ink
Clever!
You need your notebook
When you work on a case
But maybe you could write
In another place
That seating chart
Let's flip it around
This will work great
You're on the case now
Here's what you do
Just put your mind to it
Look all around
Now what can you spot
Take what you find
And make something new, yeah
Here's what to do
Just use what you got
Just use what you got
Just use what you got
This is great, Neel.
Now I have everything I need.
So, let's think.
The last time I saw
the mobile detective lab,
the head porter
was taking it onto the train.
(SNEEZES)
Let's start by asking the head porter
some questions.
So, uncle, you haven't seen it?
No, Mira.
I assure you my team
delivered all the suitcases to the rooms.
But feel free to look around
the baggage car just in case.
Perfect. Thank you.
(CAPTIVATING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
What's this brown spot on the floor?
I need to take a closer look
with my, uh
-Neel, can I use that bottle?
-Sure.
-That's what it's for.
-I want to see too.
Hey, Prince Neel's magnifying glass
actually works.
Actually?
Huh. This dark spot
looks like it could be oil.
Neel put some oil on the wheels
of my mobile detective lab, remember?
Ah, I remember that
like it was just this morning.
Chikku, it was just this morning.
MIRA: This oil looks like
it's in the shape of wheel tracks.
And they're the same size as the wheels
on your mobile detective lab.
Look, the wheel tracks keep going.
Maybe If we follow them,
we'll find the mobile detective lab.
Come on.
The tracks keep going this way.
Mira, we're going to find
your mobile detective lab.
I just know it.
(TRAIN HORN BLOWING)
And the tracks lead to
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: A mop?
Excuse me, uncle.
You didn't happen to see
any wheel tracks here, did you?
I did. But I cleaned them up
along with some mango lassi,
that a passenger
spilled all over the floor.
Oh, no.
That means all the evidence
has been wiped away.
And the mango lassi
has been completely wasted.
What now, Mira?
Let's talk to the passengers.
Maybe someone saw my mobile detective lab.
Mira, we got this.
Attention, citizens of the train.
Friends, fellow travelers, bunkmates.
Has anyone seen Mira's
mobile detective lab?
It looks like this.
No, sorry.
No, I haven't seen it.
Sorry.
-No.
-Soggy samosas.
It's okay, Neel.
We just need a few minutes to think.
So, what's our next move?
Excuse me, Chikku.
It helps me think if I can pace.
There's no way I can get off
this train until I find it.
Pardon me, Mikku.
My magnifying glass
and notebook were in it.
Sorry, Neel. Excuse me.
The Queen gave it to me.
She trusted that I would
take care of them.
Where else could my mobile
detective lab be?
Mira, we saw the porter
bring it on to the train.
It has to be here somewhere.
I know you're right.
So what am I missing?
Maybe you should have a snack, Mira.
Yeah, snacks help me do my best thinking.
(GASPS)
What happened to all our snacks?
I ate them. Sorry.
-My stomach was growling.
-Growling?
Huh. It must have been roaring.
Good thing we still have
the menu that uncle gave us.
We can order more food.
Hey, this menu has
an oily wheel track on it,
just like the tracks we found before.
Why would there be
a wheel track on the menu?
I don't know,
but maybe my dad can tell us.
(CHUCKLES) Make like a tree and leaf,
this character says.
Papa, I have a question.
Yes, Mira.
You got this menu
from the dining car, right?
Yes. I noticed it on the floor
and brought it along
in case anyone wanted to order more food.
-Why is he looking at us?
-No idea.
So if Papa got the menu
from the dining car,
maybe my mobile detective lab is there.
That's the one place
we haven't checked yet.
-Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
-Good luck!
(EXCLAIMS) Look, more wheel tracks.
And they stop here.
Excuse me, by any chance,
have you seen a mobile detective lab
here in the dining car?
Hmm. That depends.
What is a mobile detective lab?
It's a new invention.
Some might say, a brilliant new invention,
that lets a detective have all she needs
to investigate while traveling.
It looks like this.
We don't have anything like that here.
All we have are tables, see?
Ah. A table for two.
This one will do just fine.
The perfect size.
Mongoose size.
A mongoose-sized table.
Let's think this through.
We found wheel tracks on the menu
and more tracks that ended
at a mongoose-sized table.
Earlier today,
when Mikku saw the mobile lab,
he said it would make a perfect
mongoose-sized snack table.
I did say that.
So, what if somebody thought
the mobile detective lab was a table
and covered it with a cloth?
Mira, you think your mobile
detective lab is under here?
Mikku, Chikku,
can you excuse me for a second?
BOTH: The mobile detective lab.
Wow, that was brilliant.
I'll say. The plates didn't even move.
I'm just happy my mobile detective lab
is safe and sound.
(TRAIN CHUGGING)
There's a tree down on the track.
Pull on the brakes!
(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)
ALL: Whoa!
(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)
(BRAKES SCREECH)
-MIRA: Look out!
-NEEL: It's getting away.
-MIRA: Oh, no!
-NEEL: Not again.
-MIKKU: No!
-CHIKKU: Not our snack table.
We have to stop it
before it goes into the river.
I just wish you had
your grapple grabber right now.
Wait, we don't need my grapple grabber.
It's just like you said, Neel.
When you don't have what you need,
just use what you've got.
Now you're talking.
Mikku, can I have your napkin?
Really? Snacks at a time like this, Mira?
MIRA: If I put this rock
inside this napkin and
-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Yay!
-Mira, you locked the wheels!
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
-Yes.
-You saved our snack table.
Now that's what I call
using what you've got, Mira.
CHIKKU: The student becomes the master.
MIKKU: I love to see it.
My magnifying glass,
my notebook, my grapple grabber.
It's so good to see you again.
I'll take a hug too.
-Me too.
-Thanks, you guys.
And thank you, Neel.
I couldn't have done it
without all of you.
Dinner is served.
Oh, I want to try that trick
Mira did earlier with the tablecloth.
Oh, me too.
(PLATES CLATTERING)
I'll bring you some more food.
Maybe we need to rub our paws together
like Mira did.
We can try it on that table.
-Mikku, Chikku, wait!
-Hang on to your food!
-(PLATES CLATTERING)
-CHIKKU: Alrighty, who's next, people?
-CHIKKU: Ta-da!
-(PLATES CLATTERING)
MIKKU: I told you we could do it.
Super easy.
(PLATES CLATTERING)
MIRA: The Case of the Broken Hand Pump
SHIVANI: This riverfront is
my favorite place in Naiyapuram.
It's beautiful, Princess Shivani.
I'm so happy that you
and your attendant, Jaya,
could show us around your kingdom.
Thank you.
-Of course, Mira.
-Isn't it incredible?
I love this kingdom.
I have to take some of these flowers
back to Jalpur.
They'll make the best presents.
It smells so pretty.
I'm taking some too.
Tiny bananas!
We have to take some of those back too.
CHIKKU: Okay.
Those are the best bananas
in all of Naiyapuram.
MIKKU: Thanks, Jaya.
More presents for my friends.
CHIKKU: And my friends.
All of your friends will love this.
An original, one of a kind,
Naiyapuram rock.
-Yay!
-Yes!
Princess Shivani, if they keep this up,
we may need to borrow an extra suitcase.
(LAUGHS) No problem.
Come on, there's more this way.
This is a new granary we're building
to store all of our food.
-Did she say food?
-Food?
Mira, can we get a granary
in our apartment?
Guys, granaries are for farmers
to store grain from their farms.
Hi, there! Who is this cutie?
This is Swami, my otter friend.
-(SWAMI CHIRPS)
-Hello, Swami. I'm Mikku.
And I'm Chikku.
We're mongooses.
(SWAMI CHIRPS)
We live in Jalpur,
but we're just visiting.
-Where do you live?
-(SWAMI SQUEAKING)
Uh, yeah. Didn't quite get that, buddy.
The otters live over there.
Come on, I'll show you.
See their home?
It's where those sticks are.
Right behind the granary.
-MIKKU: Oh, yeah.
-CHIKKU: More otter friends.
-Whoo-hoo!
-(SQUEAKING)
Hello, there.
Aren't they just the best otters
you have ever seen?
BOTH: Yes, they are.
Oh, you want to play catch
with this pebble? Sure!
Coming at you, Swami.
(SQUEAKING)
(SWAMI CHIRPING)
Oh, Swami. So funny.
Love that guy.
Wow! You speak otter?
Uh
-(CHUCKLES) Just go with it.
-Yes. We do speak otter.
Okay. Now is everyone ready for the last
stop of your tour of Naiyapuram?
-Yes.
-Great! Follow me.
Hi, Mohan.
Namaste, Princess Shivani.
This is Mira.
She's the Royal Detective of Jalpur.
I'm showing her the new hand pump.
-A hand pump?
-I'm listening.
We just had a brand new
hand pump installed,
so people can have
fresh water from the river.
Oh, I can't wait to see it.
Oh, you're going to love it.
The water in Naiyapuram is first class.
It's just the best.
Come on, everyone.
What's going on?
Is everything okay?
Hello, Princess Shivani. I'm afraid not.
The hand pump isn't working
and everyone is waiting
to get their water.
-Oh, no. What happened?
-I'm not sure.
Water is supposed to come all the way
from the river to the pump
through this pipe.
There might be a block somewhere.
So something is stopping
the water from flowing?
Yes, I think so.
Mira is Jalpur's Royal Detective.
She's here visiting.
Maybe she could help find it.
Of course. We're on the case.
(SINGING) 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
And badge on fast
Ask all the questions
Follow your senses
Focus on every clue
BOTH: Ooh
Listen for answers
Find what you're after
That's what detectives do
We're on the case, We're on the case
We're on the case
Princess Shivani,
will you join me on the case?
You want me on the case?
Yes. You saw the pipe being installed,
so you'll notice if there's
something strange about it.
-That's true, Princess Shivani.
-My first case.
This is so exciting. I'd love to help.
Uncle, while you check to see
if the pipe is blocked on this end,
why don't we go check the other end?
That would be very helpful, Mira.
Thank you.
Princess Shivani, Can you show me
where the other end of the pipe is?
Yes, it's this way. Follow me.
-Uh, oh!
-Stuck in the mud, huh?
Now, that's a familiar feeling.
Oh, let me help you, Princess.
I think you'll need to switch
from Princess shoes to on-the-case shoes.
Here, try these.
I think we're about the same size.
You'll have a much easier time
walking through mud.
Thanks, Mira.
Looks like you have everything
you need in that suitcase.
Princess. Shivani,
this is no ordinary suitcase.
It's my mobile detective lab.
What's a mobile detective lab?
It's for carrying
all my detective gear when I'm traveling.
And it's great for storing
all of our presents when we're on the go.
I've never seen
a mobile detective lab before,
but this one is amazing.
These shoes are great, Mira.
Thank you.
Of course. And here's some for you, Jaya.
(EXCLAIMS) These are the best
on-the-case shoes ever.
(CHUCKLES) I'm glad you like them.
(GRUNTS)
Mikku, you really should
watch where you're going.
-(GRUNTS) Excuse me.
-Whoops.
There are a lot of these
sticks around here.
I wonder where they came from.
It looks like there's a trail of them
next to the pipe.
They might be a clue.
Yay! We found a clue.
Where does the pipe end?
Further down this way. I'll show you.
There are so many more sticks here.
That's strange.
And look, check this out.
The sticks are blocking the water
from entering the pipe.
I wonder if that's why water isn't flowing
out of the pump.
We have to remove the sticks from there.
BOTH: Princess Shivani, we got this.
-Time for some mongoose
-Muscle.
Let's put the sticks in a pile over here,
away from the pipe.
BOTH: Got it.
We'll help too.
-Heads up, Mikku. Sticks coming your way.
-I'm open.
I'm open!
MIRA (GASPS): Duck!
Guys, how about we do this
a different way?
Pass the sticks, people.
Keep them coming, Chikku,
keep them coming.
(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)
(SIGHS) Wow, good job, guys.
The water's flowing into the pipe.
Yay! We solved the case.
Let's go see if the hand pump is working.
Follow me, Your Highness.
-Woo-hoo!
-Hand pump time!
Uncle, we found some sticks
blocking the pipe,
but we cleared them all up.
It should be working now.
Excellent news. Thank you, Your Highness.
Let's try it out.
-(PUMP SQUEAKING)
-(WATER GURGLING)
(ALL CHEERING)
(ALL GROANING)
That's strange.
Some water definitely came through,
but it seems to be blocked again.
I guess we haven't solved
the case then, huh?
Not yet, Princess Shivani.
What now?
Back to the river.
Maybe it's blocked somewhere else.
Why do I feel like
this has happened before?
Because it has.
Not again.
JAYA: I got you.
MIRA: Huh. There are more sticks here.
-But we just cleared them all up.
-And put them in a pile.
The best pile of sticks you've ever seen.
The pile was right over there.
Where did our pile of sticks go?
Someone moved them back
and blocked the pipe again.
With an even bigger pile of sticks.
Somebody is messing with us.
-Who would do that, Mira?
-I'm not sure.
Let's take a closer look.
Hey, blue pebble.
Mikku, catch!
Chikku, I'd love to play catch with you,
but we really need to solve this case
for Princess Shivani first.
Mikku, I think this pebble
might just help us solve the case.
Wait, seriously?
See? I was helping to solve the case.
(CHUCKLES)
How does a pebble help us
solve the case, Mira?
We've seen this blue pebble before.
Let's think this through.
When we first met Swami,
he was holding a blue pebble.
He was playing with that pebble
by the otters' home,
which they made out of sticks.
What if Swami and his friends
were the ones
who put the sticks in front of the pipe?
You think the otters blocked the pipe?
Our buddy, Swami?
Just when you think you know an otter.
We need to find out for sure.
Let's go track down Swami.
Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
There he is!
Okay, buddy.
We're here on official mongoose business.
Yeah, we need to ask you some questions.
(SQUEAKING)
These look like the same kind of sticks
we found blocking the pipe.
And they're the same sticks the otters use
to build their home.
It looks like they're moving their home.
But why?
-Whoops.
-(OTTERS SQUEAKING)
Yikes.
I think the new building is too close
to where they live.
Swami, did you have to move
because of the granary?
(SWAMI CHITTERING)
Yes. That's the reason.
Oh, no, that's awful. Those poor otters.
We have to help them.
I have an idea.
You hear that, buddy?
She has an idea.
Pass these sticks, people.
Keep it coming, Chikku, keep it coming.
(LIVELY MUSIC PLAYING)
Nice one.
Once we finish building the otters
a new home over here,
they'll be away from the buildings
and the pipe.
That Mira is such a genius.
And that's the last stick.
-(SWAMI SQUEAKING)
-You said it, buddy.
Enjoy your new home.
Mira, let me handle this.
(MIMICKING SWAMI)
I am so happy we could help the otters.
They are just the best otters
in the world.
(SWAMI CHITTERING)
A present for us? You shouldn't have.
This means so much to us, Swami.
Come here.
Hey, wait for us.
(SWAMI SQUEAKING)
I think he wants us
to check out his new home.
-BOTH: Cannonball!
-(WATER SPLASHING)
CHIKKU: Ooh, nice place!
Is that your living room?
MIKKU: It's his bedroom, Chikku.
CHIKKU: Who was I supposed to know?
All I see are sticks.
MIKKU: Swami, what you need
is a fluffy pillow.
(ALL GIGGLING)
The case of the broken
hand pump is closed.
A great job by an amazing team.
The best team in Naiyapuram.
ALL: Aww!
This is the most delicious water
I've ever tasted.
Told you, Mira.
Mira, thank you so much for helping us.
I couldn't have done it
without Princess Shivani.
My first case was definitely my best case.
This case sure made me thirsty.
Good thing the hand pump's fixed.
(MIKKU YELLS)
I'm coming for you, Mikku.
(YELLING) On my way!
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
