We'll take in the world
With a whole new perspective
Our small and mighty hero
We'll find the answers
Let's go
Let's hear it for Mira
Royal Detective
MIRA: The Case
of Disoriented Duckling.
Dusty, dusty.
You're very, very dusty.
This is what I get
for throwing a goat birthday party
in the desert this morning.
Hi, Pinky. Hi, Sadia.
Here's the freshwater you wanted.
Oh! You're a lifesaver, Mira.
Perfect timing.
Wow, Pinky! You're really busy today.
I know, right?
Ever since I added this tub
to my grooming station,
all the animals want baths.
I'm in charge of scrubbing duties.
-Okay, Bala, you ready for your rinse.
-(BALA BARKS)
Sadia is such a great helper.
And so is Anoop.
(TRUMPETS)
-(BARKS)
-(BOTH GIGGLE)
Well, that's one way to cool off.
Okay, Chipi.
Let's get splashin'!
(CHIPI CHITTERS)
Uh, Chipi? Where'd you go?
Looks like she's playing
hide and seek again.
(YELLING) Chipi!
(CHUCKLES)
Giving a bath to a chameleon.
Not easy.
BOTH: Mira!
Hi, Mikku. Hi, Chikku
(SOFTLY) Psst! Don't look now,
but we're being followed.
-By who?
-Hey, you looked.
(QUACKING)
Stop right there, little buddy.
You've been following us around all day.
Yeah! We wanna know why.
(DUCKLING CHIRPING)
Maybe Mr. Duckling
wants some of our laddoos.
Well, he can't have any
because I ate them all.
(GASPS) Chikku!
Guys, I think the baby duck
is trying to say something.
Are you okay, little ducky?
Uh, I don't think
he understands you, Mira.
Oh, Pinky! Do you speak duck?
Me? Speak duck?
No, I don't, actually.
But, I do know a lot about ducks.
And I have never seen
a baby duck without its mom.
What if the baby duck
is looking for his mom?
You lost your mom, little buddy?
BOTH: We need to help him.
BOTH: Can we?
Of course, we can. 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 note book
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
To solve this,
we'll need the advice of an expert.
BOTH: Aww, thanks, Mira.
(LAUGHS) I meant Pinky.
She knows a lot about ducks.
(SQUEALS) Me?
Help out on a case with ducks?
I will need to check my schedule.
Sadia, can you
take over my bath duties?
Absolutely.
Anoop it's you and me, partner.
We won't let you down, Pinky.
-PINKY: (SQUEALS) Perfect!
-Anoop!
-Hey! Watch the glasses.
-What's the big idea?
If Sadia's taking care of the animals,
that means
I'm on the case
I'm on the case I'm on the case
(HUMMING)
(GIGGLES) Great, Pinky.
So, Mikku, Chikku,
do you remember where
you first noticed the baby duck?
We sure do.
It was, uh
Uh, right near that
place we always go.
BOTH: The Detective Agency.
Then maybe the mama duck is there.
Let's go look.
MIKKU: It's all coming back
like a distant memory.
One that I remember perfectly.
This is the spot
where we first saw the baby duck.
Actually, it was here.
Everyone, I found a feather.
It looks like it belongs to a baby duck.
Did you lose a feather, little guy?
-Don't be shy. I'm a friend.
-(QUACKING)
Guys, I think the quacking
is coming from that planter.
In my expert opinion, that is correct.
Good job.
Now why, oh, why
would the planter be quacking?
It's a mystery.
I think I know.
BOTH: The planter speaks duck!
(GIGGLES) No, guys.
There's another baby duck inside.
(BOTH QUACKING)
Whoa! Did you see that?
A tail shake, just like we do.
Mikku, we would
totally win a tail shake battle
-against the ducks, right?
-Definitely.
Guys, I think
the baby ducks are brothers.
(GASPS) Yes!
The tail shake, big giveaway.
Ducks also quack a lot
when they're around their family.
But, where's their mama?
Maybe we should ask around
and see if anyone has seen her.
PINKY: Great idea!
(IN SING-SONG VOICE)
Mama duck, where are you?
(QUACKING)
Aw! Look at those
precious little duckies.
Mr. Khan, we're looking
for their mama.
Have you seen her?
No, I'm afraid not, Mira.
But I'll keep an eye out for you.
Great. Thank you, Uncle.
(HONKS) Hey, Mira.
I've been looking all over for you.
I heard you're looking for a duck.
I have a duck.
Ranjeet, you found a mama duck?
-RANJEET: Not a mama, a baby.
-(QUACKING)
MIRA: Another one!
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Aw!
All right! Another brother.
What are the odds?
Well, in my expert opinion,
the odds are very good.
Yeah, they sure look like brothers.
Mikku, we should
get a third brother too.
Ranjeet, where did you find him?
I walked outside
the shop to get my bike
when this little guy
waddled out of a bush.
He hopped right into my basket.
He must have wanted a ride.
-We can take him for you.
-Thanks, Mira.
Come here, little guys.
Come to Aunty Pinky.
Good luck finding their mama!
What now, Mira?
Well, since Ranjeet found
the third baby duck by his bike shop,
we should check and see
if the mama duck is there.
You heard the Royal Detective.
Let's move, duckies.
MIKKU: Hey, Mira.
I think they like playing
'Follow the Leader.'
They do, don't they?
Ooh! Ducks love playing
'Follow the Leader.'
They also have three eyelids
and are really hard to sneak up on.
-Follow me.
-No, follow me.
BOTH: Wait for us!
MIRA: Pinky, see anything in the bush?
Hello! Mama duck? (QUACKS)
No, mama duck under here.
Chikku, watch me waddle like a duck.
CHIKKU: Don't forget the head bob.
(GASPS) I found another feather.
Feather! Feather.
Hmm. Anyone lose a feather?
-Not me.
-Nope.
Nope, not me, either.
Huh. It doesn't belong
to anyone here.
Here are some more feathers.
Looks like there's a trail of them.
-Let's follow it.
-(CHIRPING)
MIKKU AND CHIKKU:
More brothers!
In my expert opinion,
those ducks are not real.
They're not real, guys.
You're right. They're toy ducks.
Look! The real ducks
are quacking at something.
(CHIRPING)
Another baby duck!
Hey, cutie!
How'd you get in there?
Whoa! A four-way tail shake.
Mikku, they're tail-shaking geniuses.
(GIGGLES) Aw!
Look how happy they are
playing in the water.
Ducks love water
more than anything.
Well, except for worms, weeds,
tadpoles, tiny fish eggs,
the list goes on and on and on.
Since ducks like water,
a good place to find the mama duck
might be near some water.
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Like a fountain!
Ooh, or a pond.
That's it, Pinky!
There's a pond in the park.
Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
You heard her! Come on, ducks!
(QUACKS)
I think they like the water so much
they don't wanna leave.
Let's see what all the fuss is about.
It is pretty great in here.
When I grow up,
I wanna be a baby duck too.
(GIGGLES) Silly Chikku,
you're a mongoose.
How do we
get the ducks out of the tub?
I have an idea!
Wait right here.
Chipi, here's some
nice fresh water for your bath.
Anoop, where did she go?
(TRUMPETS)
Oh, there you are.
You really don't
want a bath, do you?
PINKY: Sadia, I need to borrow this.
-Don't ask any questions.
-Uh, sure, Pinky.
(CHIPI CHITTERS)
(GIGGLES) Well, Chipi,
the bath tub's gone,
so I guess it's your lucky day.
Hey, duckies.
(CHUCKLES) I have
a very special surprise for you.
(CHIRPING)
Great idea, Pinky.
Now, we can take
the baby ducks to the park.
Come on!
There's the pond.
But where, oh, where is that mama duck?
Chikku, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
BOTH: Pond party!
Pinky, check it out.
(YELLS) Another feather!
And this one looks
bigger than the other feathers we found.
I wonder if it belongs
to the mama duck.
In my expert opinion, it is
mama duck-sized.
So, maybe she's around here.
But, where?
She's making it really hard to find her.
CHIKKU: Hey, Mira. Look at us!
(ALL QUACKING)
Wait. I think I know
how we can find her.
Let's think this through.
We know that ducks love water,
like to follow each other
and quack a lot as a greeting.
So, maybe
if we walk around the pond area
following each other and quacking,
the mama duck will hear us and quack back.
I was born to quack!
We are in!
Let's do this, people!
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
Quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
Gotta help them find their mama
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
And help her find her flock
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Make a sound for her to follow
She'll know the sound is their quack!
Make a waddle in our walk
Maybe then we'll hear her talk
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Ducks are social animals
And when they see their friends
They bob their heads like this
Paddle in the water
Make it splash and most of all
They like to eat and rest
Eat and rest?
Is it possible that I'm a duck?
(GROANS) Oh, Chikku!
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack!
(QUACKING)
I hear quacking!
(CHIRPING)
-Heard it too!
-Most definitely.
Loud and clear.
Sounds like it's coming from over there.
Come on.
(QUACKING)
I hear the quacking under that grate.
That means the mama duck is down there.
She must've gotten stuck.
Oh, no!
We need to get her out.
-Mira, baby duckies
-Pinky
BOTH: We got this.
(BOTH STRAINING)
That's heavy.
Too heavy!
Let's try using my grapple grabber
and pulling together.
Wait, Mira!
Okay, you're good.
(CLINKS AND CLICKS)
Ready, everyone?
And pull!
(ALL GROANING)
It's starting to move. Keep pulling!
(CLANGS)
(ALL QUACKING)
-(WHOOPING)
-(EXCLAIMS) Yes!
(SQUEALS) We did it!
Mongoose muscle
works every time.
PINKY: Hi, mama duck.
Oh, okay. Let's
Let's just get you out of there.
You know,
I got some baby duckies
who are really happy to see ya.
(QUACKING)
I've always wanted to say this.
The case of the baby ducks is
(CHIRPING)
I think that's duck for
Closed!
Great job, everyone.
(INDISTINCT EXCLAIMING)
A mother's love.
Aw! Look at that!
Together again.
In my expert opinion,
it does not get better than this.
-That's a pretty good tail shake.
-But, check this out.
MIKKU: Woah!
Hey, we can be their
mongoose brothers.
Yeah. Everyone needs
mongoose brothers.
Hey, Chikku.
You think
the mama duck has any snacks?
Let's keep
following her and find out.
(BOTH QUACKING)
Looks like one big, happy family.
CHIKKU: Quacking like a duck.
MIRA: The Mystery of
the Legendary Cave.
(CHIKKU SNORING)
Now, let's see
What case should I solve next?
(SIGHS) Laddoo. Laddoo.
Yum, yum, yum, yum!
(GASPS) Oh!
This one looks really good.
-A good laddoo?
-I'll take it.
Mikku, Chikku.
I found a new case
in the book of unsolved mysteries.
Oh, we thought you were
talking about a laddoo.
(SIGHS) It was just a dream.
Actually, I know how much you two
love eating snacks after your nap.
So, look what I got you.
-(CHEERS) Laddoos!
-She really gets us.
Thanks, Mira.
Dream come true.
Now, wait until
you hear about this case.
There's a legendary cave
outside of Jalpur
the people have spent years
looking for but never found.
Tell me more.
I'm intrigued.
It says that the entrance to the cave
is a very old stone archway
with beautiful carvings on it.
And this coin has a picture
of the stone archway.
Are those mongooses
on the archway?
Yeah, they do look like mongooses.
Mongooses? Must be a special cave.
What's in it?
-Maybe more coins!
-To add to your coin collection.
-I'll show her.
-No, I'll show her.
Now, look what you did.
Guys, it looks like
one of the royal detectives
figured out the cage is somewhere
in Nevala Canyon, by the river.
But that's as far as he got.
Well, you can solve it, Mira.
Yeah, you can find that cave.
And you will need experts
on this case.
Experts who know
a thing or two about mongooses.
And coins.
I wonder who that could be.
Think, think.
-I got it. Us!
-I got it. Us!
(LAUGHS) I always need you guys.
Okay, let's do it.
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
(TOGETHER)
We're on the case!
Look a little closer
With your magnifying glass
Open up your notebook
MIKKU/CHIKKU:
Get your coat And badge on fast!
Ask all the questions,
Follow your senses
-Focus on every clue
-Ooh!
Listen for answers,
Find what you're after
TOGETHER:
That's what detectives do!
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
Guys, look. There's a picture
on the other side of this coin,
and there's writing
on the edge, too.
It says "Go to the mouth
of a mongoose!"
Maybe that's a clue.
Here's the mouth of a mongoose.
Mikku! Do you see the cave?
All I see is a bit of mango in your teeth.
You really should brush more.
Guys, I don't think the clue
is talking about Chikku's mouth.
Then whose mouth
is it talking about?
We'll have to go
to Nevala River Canyon to find out.
Which means we'll need a boat.
Which means we should go see
TOGETHER: Prince Neel!
That's a Flame of the Forest tree.
And that one has figs growing on it.
So, it must be a ficus carica tree.
Good! Very good. Prince Neel!
Actually, Prince Neel,
because of these figs,
we call this a snack tree.
Yummy!
Hi, Mira! Hi Mikku! Hi Chikku!
I've been spending the morning
with Ram Singh Ji.
He's teaching me to identify trees.
That's great, Neel.
-MIKKU: Here's a tree.
-Here's another tree.
Mikku, don't tell Prince Neel,
but this really isn't hard.
Mira, I see you've got
your book of unsolved mysteries.
Working on a new case?
Sure am! We're looking
for a legendary cave.
Could you take us
to Nevala River Canyon?
For a legendary cave? Absolutely!
It's too far to pedal
in your aqua rickshaw, your Highness.
That's true. Which means
We'll have to take my submarine!
-Great!
-CHIKKU: Submarine time!
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Woo-hoo!
Keep your eyes peeled.
We're getting close
to the Nevala River Canyon.
This map says it's marked by a single
plumeria tree growing out of a rock.
See if you can spot it
with my periscope.
Aye Aye, Captain Neel.
MIRA: Which one
is the plumeria tree?
Look for a trunk
with branches and leaves.
That's all the trees, Chikku.
Plumeria trees
have pink flowers in large bunches.
Got it.
Ooh! I see it. Up ahead.
All right, crew.
Sit back and enjoy you ride.
-MIRA: Whoa!
-CHIKKU: What's happening?
Soggy Samosas! We're blocked.
Mira, what do you see?
MIRA: The roots
are blocking our way.
Well, if we can't go through them,
we'll just have to go under them.
Prepared to dive.
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Dive! Dive!
I was talking about the submarine.
We knew that.
We were looking for a lost button.
Periscope down.
Crew, we're fully submerged.
Now, where is the mouth
of the mongoose?
That's our first clue to find the case.
Ahhh.
Chikku, remember, Mira said the cave
is not inside your mouth.
But you do have a little mango
stuck in your teeth.
Whoopsies.
Wait, I think I see something.
Hey, that rock looks just like
Chikku with his mouth open.
Ahem! Mikku, that right there
is why they call me a mongoose expert.
Well, this mongoose expert
is going to find the entrance to the cave.
That looks way too small
to be the entrance of a cave.
But the clue said "go to the
mouth of a mongoose."
I see something shiny
in its mouth.
Looks like that Mongoose
hasn't been brushing his teeth either.
There's something in here Aha!
Another coin for our collection?
Or maybe it's our next clue.
It has a picture of the same stone archway
as the other coin.
Looks like it is a clue.
There's a picture of a snake on it,
and on the edge it says,
"Mongooses keep an eye out
for snakes."
MIKKU: You got that right.
Mongooses and snakes
don't like each other one little bit.
If I ever see a snake, I'm like,
"Hey, snake, don't mess with me
unless you're ready for a dance-battle!"
And the snake
doesn't have legs, so he loses!
I'm a genius.
Hey, where did Mira
and Prince Neel go?
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Wait for us.
Mira, can you read
that clue again?
"Mongooses keep an eye out
for snakes."
Princes should also keep
an eye out for snakes
Uh, Neel, is it my imagination
or does that look like
a nest of
Snakes?
It is not your imagination.
Wait a second.
I wonder if they're actually
Mira, you're going
the wrong direction!
-CHIKKU: Mira! Prince Neel!
-MIKKU: We'll save you!
Don't mess with us, snakes,
unless you're ready for battle.
Dance battle.
Ha ha! You lose!
Guys, those aren't snakes.
They're just tree roots.
Tree roots.
I knew that.
Well, you were both very brave
to protect us.
With you guys around,
we never need to worry about snakes.
-MIKKU: That's right.
-CHIKKU: You know it!
Hmmm. This coin says to check a rock
that looks like a mongoose's mouth.
And this coin says
to keep an eye out for snakes.
These tree roots look like snakes.
Maybe there's another coin
here somewhere.
Let's look around.
Chikku, did you know
Prince Neel can climb a tree?
I didn't! He'd make
an excellent mongoose.
Hey, there's something
in the tree.
Mira, check it out. Another coin.
MIRA: With the same
stone archway.
So it must be another clue.
Or another coin for our collection.
This side
has a sleeping mongoose.
It says, "After battling the snakes,
the brave mongoose needs a nap."
We battled the snakes.
Quite bravely, I would add.
So Where would a mongoose nap?
It looks like there are a lot
of great napping spots around here.
Like this Neem tree.
It's got a moss bed.
Nice and cushy.
(YAWNS) Actually, I could
fall asleep right now.
Prince Neel, we don't nap just anywhere.
We need the perfect spot.
Not too hot. Not too cool.
CHIKKU: Nice and dark.
Nice and dark, huh?
Yup. Unless I have a sleep mask.
Which I do not.
How about this hole
in the ground?
Looks cozy.
We'll check it out. Whoa!
This is the perfect place
to nap.
You gotta see this, Mira.
Chalo, chalo, let's crawl.
-Wow!
-This place is incredible.
-Neel, watch your head-
-Ow.
I wonder if mongooses
lived here a long time ago.
It's got two beds.
We have two beds.
And a cabinet too.
This must be
where the mongooses kept their snacks.
If there are snacks in there,
I probably wouldn't eat them.
No snacks, but there's this.
MIRA/NEEL: Another coin! Ow!
It has the same picture
of the stone archway on the front,
and on the edge it says
"Give the coins to the sleeping mongooses
here and you will find the cave."
MIRA: Our last clue.
All we need to do
is look for the sleeping mongooses
Mira, as a mongoose expert,
I can tell you with confidence
-that there are no mongooses here.
-Except for us.
-They have a point.
-Hey, look at that statue.
Kinda looks like bananas.
You see bananas everywhere, Chikku!
That totally looks like a mango.
I think it's something else.
And I've seen that shape before.
Let's think this through.
Earlier today, Mikku and Chikku
were taking a nap by the window.
Rather adorably, may I add.
MIRA: When they were napping
they were curled up in a shape
that looks just like
that statue.
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Oh, yeah.
That statue does look
like sleeping mongooses.
But how are we supposed
to give coins to a statue?
Well, it looks like
there are slots on top of their heads.
Hey, The coins we found
will fit into them.
May I see one of the coins, please?
Not these coins.
Yeah. They are
for our coin collection.
Guys, we came this far.
Don't you want to see the cave?
Of course we do!
Nothing's happening.
I want my coins back!
What's going on?
-(BOTH GASP)
-Whoa!
Something's
definitely happening! Whoa!
Dizzy mongoose, people!
(RUMBLING)
Whoa! That wall is opening up!
The stone archway!
Just like on the coin.
It's the entrance
to the legendary cave.
We found it.
-Amazing!
-Incredible!
Magnificent.
Look at these old paintings.
Those people must be ancient royals.
And look at the mongooses!
Right by their side!
Wow, our ancestors
actually got to hang out with royalty.
How lucky were they.
Ahem. I'm royalty,
and you hang out with me.
Hey, he's right, Chikku.
We hang out with a Prince!
We are so lucky!
Guys, come check it out.
They look just like you two.
-If you mean handsome and smart
-You're completely correct.
Hey, there's some writing
on the statue.
NEEL: It says
"Scratch the belly of the mongooses
and you will get a welcome gift."
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Oh!
(GIGGLING)
I think it means
those mongooses.
-Oh yeah.
-Our tummies were just itchy.
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Coins!
-Lots of coins!
-For our collection!
Yay!
Now I know why the royal detectives
couldn't solve this mystery before.
They didn't have amazing mongooses
on the case with them.
Our mongoose ancestors
sure had the life.
But we have the life too.
Because we get to go
on mysteries with you, Mira.
And you, Prince Neel.
-Aw, you guys.
-Bring it in!

MIRA: The Case
of Disoriented Duckling.
Dusty, dusty.
You're very, very dusty.
This is what I get
for throwing a goat birthday party
in the desert this morning.
Hi, Pinky. Hi, Sadia.
Here's the freshwater you wanted.
Oh! You're a lifesaver, Mira.
Perfect timing.
Wow, Pinky! You're really busy today.
I know, right?
Ever since I added this tub
to my grooming station,
all the animals want baths.
I'm in charge of scrubbing duties.
-Okay, Bala, you ready for your rinse.
-(BALA BARKS)
Sadia is such a great helper.
And so is Anoop.
(TRUMPETS)
-(BARKS)
-(BOTH GIGGLE)
Well, that's one way to cool off.
Okay, Chipi.
Let's get splashin'!
(CHIPI CHITTERS)
Uh, Chipi? Where'd you go?
Looks like she's playing
hide and seek again.
(YELLING) Chipi!
(CHUCKLES)
Giving a bath to a chameleon.
Not easy.
BOTH: Mira!
Hi, Mikku. Hi, Chikku
(SOFTLY) Psst! Don't look now,
but we're being followed.
-By who?
-Hey, you looked.
(QUACKING)
Stop right there, little buddy.
You've been following us around all day.
Yeah! We wanna know why.
(DUCKLING CHIRPING)
Maybe Mr. Duckling
wants some of our laddoos.
Well, he can't have any
because I ate them all.
(GASPS) Chikku!
Guys, I think the baby duck
is trying to say something.
Are you okay, little ducky?
Uh, I don't think
he understands you, Mira.
Oh, Pinky! Do you speak duck?
Me? Speak duck?
No, I don't, actually.
But, I do know a lot about ducks.
And I have never seen
a baby duck without its mom.
What if the baby duck
is looking for his mom?
You lost your mom, little buddy?
BOTH: We need to help him.
BOTH: Can we?
Of course, we can. 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 note book
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
To solve this,
we'll need the advice of an expert.
BOTH: Aww, thanks, Mira.
(LAUGHS) I meant Pinky.
She knows a lot about ducks.
(SQUEALS) Me?
Help out on a case with ducks?
I will need to check my schedule.
Sadia, can you
take over my bath duties?
Absolutely.
Anoop it's you and me, partner.
We won't let you down, Pinky.
-PINKY: (SQUEALS) Perfect!
-Anoop!
-Hey! Watch the glasses.
-What's the big idea?
If Sadia's taking care of the animals,
that means
I'm on the case
I'm on the case I'm on the case
(HUMMING)
(GIGGLES) Great, Pinky.
So, Mikku, Chikku,
do you remember where
you first noticed the baby duck?
We sure do.
It was, uh
Uh, right near that
place we always go.
BOTH: The Detective Agency.
Then maybe the mama duck is there.
Let's go look.
MIKKU: It's all coming back
like a distant memory.
One that I remember perfectly.
This is the spot
where we first saw the baby duck.
Actually, it was here.
Everyone, I found a feather.
It looks like it belongs to a baby duck.
Did you lose a feather, little guy?
-Don't be shy. I'm a friend.
-(QUACKING)
Guys, I think the quacking
is coming from that planter.
In my expert opinion, that is correct.
Good job.
Now why, oh, why
would the planter be quacking?
It's a mystery.
I think I know.
BOTH: The planter speaks duck!
(GIGGLES) No, guys.
There's another baby duck inside.
(BOTH QUACKING)
Whoa! Did you see that?
A tail shake, just like we do.
Mikku, we would
totally win a tail shake battle
-against the ducks, right?
-Definitely.
Guys, I think
the baby ducks are brothers.
(GASPS) Yes!
The tail shake, big giveaway.
Ducks also quack a lot
when they're around their family.
But, where's their mama?
Maybe we should ask around
and see if anyone has seen her.
PINKY: Great idea!
(IN SING-SONG VOICE)
Mama duck, where are you?
(QUACKING)
Aw! Look at those
precious little duckies.
Mr. Khan, we're looking
for their mama.
Have you seen her?
No, I'm afraid not, Mira.
But I'll keep an eye out for you.
Great. Thank you, Uncle.
(HONKS) Hey, Mira.
I've been looking all over for you.
I heard you're looking for a duck.
I have a duck.
Ranjeet, you found a mama duck?
-RANJEET: Not a mama, a baby.
-(QUACKING)
MIRA: Another one!
MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Aw!
All right! Another brother.
What are the odds?
Well, in my expert opinion,
the odds are very good.
Yeah, they sure look like brothers.
Mikku, we should
get a third brother too.
Ranjeet, where did you find him?
I walked outside
the shop to get my bike
when this little guy
waddled out of a bush.
He hopped right into my basket.
He must have wanted a ride.
-We can take him for you.
-Thanks, Mira.
Come here, little guys.
Come to Aunty Pinky.
Good luck finding their mama!
What now, Mira?
Well, since Ranjeet found
the third baby duck by his bike shop,
we should check and see
if the mama duck is there.
You heard the Royal Detective.
Let's move, duckies.
MIKKU: Hey, Mira.
I think they like playing
'Follow the Leader.'
They do, don't they?
Ooh! Ducks love playing
'Follow the Leader.'
They also have three eyelids
and are really hard to sneak up on.
-Follow me.
-No, follow me.
BOTH: Wait for us!
MIRA: Pinky, see anything in the bush?
Hello! Mama duck? (QUACKS)
No, mama duck under here.
Chikku, watch me waddle like a duck.
CHIKKU: Don't forget the head bob.
(GASPS) I found another feather.
Feather! Feather.
Hmm. Anyone lose a feather?
-Not me.
-Nope.
Nope, not me, either.
Huh. It doesn't belong
to anyone here.
Here are some more feathers.
Looks like there's a trail of them.
-Let's follow it.
-(CHIRPING)
MIKKU AND CHIKKU:
More brothers!
In my expert opinion,
those ducks are not real.
They're not real, guys.
You're right. They're toy ducks.
Look! The real ducks
are quacking at something.
(CHIRPING)
Another baby duck!
Hey, cutie!
How'd you get in there?
Whoa! A four-way tail shake.
Mikku, they're tail-shaking geniuses.
(GIGGLES) Aw!
Look how happy they are
playing in the water.
Ducks love water
more than anything.
Well, except for worms, weeds,
tadpoles, tiny fish eggs,
the list goes on and on and on.
Since ducks like water,
a good place to find the mama duck
might be near some water.
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Like a fountain!
Ooh, or a pond.
That's it, Pinky!
There's a pond in the park.
Chalo, chalo! Let's go!
You heard her! Come on, ducks!
(QUACKS)
I think they like the water so much
they don't wanna leave.
Let's see what all the fuss is about.
It is pretty great in here.
When I grow up,
I wanna be a baby duck too.
(GIGGLES) Silly Chikku,
you're a mongoose.
How do we
get the ducks out of the tub?
I have an idea!
Wait right here.
Chipi, here's some
nice fresh water for your bath.
Anoop, where did she go?
(TRUMPETS)
Oh, there you are.
You really don't
want a bath, do you?
PINKY: Sadia, I need to borrow this.
-Don't ask any questions.
-Uh, sure, Pinky.
(CHIPI CHITTERS)
(GIGGLES) Well, Chipi,
the bath tub's gone,
so I guess it's your lucky day.
Hey, duckies.
(CHUCKLES) I have
a very special surprise for you.
(CHIRPING)
Great idea, Pinky.
Now, we can take
the baby ducks to the park.
Come on!
There's the pond.
But where, oh, where is that mama duck?
Chikku, are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
BOTH: Pond party!
Pinky, check it out.
(YELLS) Another feather!
And this one looks
bigger than the other feathers we found.
I wonder if it belongs
to the mama duck.
In my expert opinion, it is
mama duck-sized.
So, maybe she's around here.
But, where?
She's making it really hard to find her.
CHIKKU: Hey, Mira. Look at us!
(ALL QUACKING)
Wait. I think I know
how we can find her.
Let's think this through.
We know that ducks love water,
like to follow each other
and quack a lot as a greeting.
So, maybe
if we walk around the pond area
following each other and quacking,
the mama duck will hear us and quack back.
I was born to quack!
We are in!
Let's do this, people!
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
Quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack,
Quack, quack, quack
Gotta help them find their mama
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
And help her find her flock
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Make a sound for her to follow
She'll know the sound is their quack!
Make a waddle in our walk
Maybe then we'll hear her talk
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Ducks are social animals
And when they see their friends
They bob their heads like this
Paddle in the water
Make it splash and most of all
They like to eat and rest
Eat and rest?
Is it possible that I'm a duck?
(GROANS) Oh, Chikku!
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
If we quack, quack,
Try to get a quack back
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack!
(QUACKING)
I hear quacking!
(CHIRPING)
-Heard it too!
-Most definitely.
Loud and clear.
Sounds like it's coming from over there.
Come on.
(QUACKING)
I hear the quacking under that grate.
That means the mama duck is down there.
She must've gotten stuck.
Oh, no!
We need to get her out.
-Mira, baby duckies
-Pinky
BOTH: We got this.
(BOTH STRAINING)
That's heavy.
Too heavy!
Let's try using my grapple grabber
and pulling together.
Wait, Mira!
Okay, you're good.
(CLINKS AND CLICKS)
Ready, everyone?
And pull!
(ALL GROANING)
It's starting to move. Keep pulling!
(CLANGS)
(ALL QUACKING)
-(WHOOPING)
-(EXCLAIMS) Yes!
(SQUEALS) We did it!
Mongoose muscle
works every time.
PINKY: Hi, mama duck.
Oh, okay. Let's
Let's just get you out of there.
You know,
I got some baby duckies
who are really happy to see ya.
(QUACKING)
I've always wanted to say this.
The case of the baby ducks is
(CHIRPING)
I think that's duck for
Closed!
Great job, everyone.
(INDISTINCT EXCLAIMING)
A mother's love.
Aw! Look at that!
Together again.
In my expert opinion,
it does not get better than this.
-That's a pretty good tail shake.
-But, check this out.
MIKKU: Woah!
Hey, we can be their
mongoose brothers.
Yeah. Everyone needs
mongoose brothers.
Hey, Chikku.
You think
the mama duck has any snacks?
Let's keep
following her and find out.
(BOTH QUACKING)
Looks like one big, happy family.
CHIKKU: Quacking like a duck.
MIRA: The Mystery of
the Legendary Cave.
(CHIKKU SNORING)
Now, let's see
What case should I solve next?
(SIGHS) Laddoo. Laddoo.
Yum, yum, yum, yum!
(GASPS) Oh!
This one looks really good.
-A good laddoo?
-I'll take it.
Mikku, Chikku.
I found a new case
in the book of unsolved mysteries.
Oh, we thought you were
talking about a laddoo.
(SIGHS) It was just a dream.
Actually, I know how much you two
love eating snacks after your nap.
So, look what I got you.
-(CHEERS) Laddoos!
-She really gets us.
Thanks, Mira.
Dream come true.
Now, wait until
you hear about this case.
There's a legendary cave
outside of Jalpur
the people have spent years
looking for but never found.
Tell me more.
I'm intrigued.
It says that the entrance to the cave
is a very old stone archway
with beautiful carvings on it.
And this coin has a picture
of the stone archway.
Are those mongooses
on the archway?
Yeah, they do look like mongooses.
Mongooses? Must be a special cave.
What's in it?
-Maybe more coins!
-To add to your coin collection.
-I'll show her.
-No, I'll show her.
Now, look what you did.
Guys, it looks like
one of the royal detectives
figured out the cage is somewhere
in Nevala Canyon, by the river.
But that's as far as he got.
Well, you can solve it, Mira.
Yeah, you can find that cave.
And you will need experts
on this case.
Experts who know
a thing or two about mongooses.
And coins.
I wonder who that could be.
Think, think.
-I got it. Us!
-I got it. Us!
(LAUGHS) I always need you guys.
Okay, let's do it.
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
(TOGETHER)
We're on the case!
Look a little closer
With your magnifying glass
Open up your notebook
MIKKU/CHIKKU:
Get your coat And badge on fast!
Ask all the questions,
Follow your senses
-Focus on every clue
-Ooh!
Listen for answers,
Find what you're after
TOGETHER:
That's what detectives do!
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
We're on the case!
Guys, look. There's a picture
on the other side of this coin,
and there's writing
on the edge, too.
It says "Go to the mouth
of a mongoose!"
Maybe that's a clue.
Here's the mouth of a mongoose.
Mikku! Do you see the cave?
All I see is a bit of mango in your teeth.
You really should brush more.
Guys, I don't think the clue
is talking about Chikku's mouth.
Then whose mouth
is it talking about?
We'll have to go
to Nevala River Canyon to find out.
Which means we'll need a boat.
Which means we should go see
TOGETHER: Prince Neel!
That's a Flame of the Forest tree.
And that one has figs growing on it.
So, it must be a ficus carica tree.
Good! Very good. Prince Neel!
Actually, Prince Neel,
because of these figs,
we call this a snack tree.
Yummy!
Hi, Mira! Hi Mikku! Hi Chikku!
I've been spending the morning
with Ram Singh Ji.
He's teaching me to identify trees.
That's great, Neel.
-MIKKU: Here's a tree.
-Here's another tree.
Mikku, don't tell Prince Neel,
but this really isn't hard.
Mira, I see you've got
your book of unsolved mysteries.
Working on a new case?
Sure am! We're looking
for a legendary cave.
Could you take us
to Nevala River Canyon?
For a legendary cave? Absolutely!
It's too far to pedal
in your aqua rickshaw, your Highness.
That's true. Which means
We'll have to take my submarine!
-Great!
-CHIKKU: Submarine time!
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Woo-hoo!
Keep your eyes peeled.
We're getting close
to the Nevala River Canyon.
This map says it's marked by a single
plumeria tree growing out of a rock.
See if you can spot it
with my periscope.
Aye Aye, Captain Neel.
MIRA: Which one
is the plumeria tree?
Look for a trunk
with branches and leaves.
That's all the trees, Chikku.
Plumeria trees
have pink flowers in large bunches.
Got it.
Ooh! I see it. Up ahead.
All right, crew.
Sit back and enjoy you ride.
-MIRA: Whoa!
-CHIKKU: What's happening?
Soggy Samosas! We're blocked.
Mira, what do you see?
MIRA: The roots
are blocking our way.
Well, if we can't go through them,
we'll just have to go under them.
Prepared to dive.
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Dive! Dive!
I was talking about the submarine.
We knew that.
We were looking for a lost button.
Periscope down.
Crew, we're fully submerged.
Now, where is the mouth
of the mongoose?
That's our first clue to find the case.
Ahhh.
Chikku, remember, Mira said the cave
is not inside your mouth.
But you do have a little mango
stuck in your teeth.
Whoopsies.
Wait, I think I see something.
Hey, that rock looks just like
Chikku with his mouth open.
Ahem! Mikku, that right there
is why they call me a mongoose expert.
Well, this mongoose expert
is going to find the entrance to the cave.
That looks way too small
to be the entrance of a cave.
But the clue said "go to the
mouth of a mongoose."
I see something shiny
in its mouth.
Looks like that Mongoose
hasn't been brushing his teeth either.
There's something in here Aha!
Another coin for our collection?
Or maybe it's our next clue.
It has a picture of the same stone archway
as the other coin.
Looks like it is a clue.
There's a picture of a snake on it,
and on the edge it says,
"Mongooses keep an eye out
for snakes."
MIKKU: You got that right.
Mongooses and snakes
don't like each other one little bit.
If I ever see a snake, I'm like,
"Hey, snake, don't mess with me
unless you're ready for a dance-battle!"
And the snake
doesn't have legs, so he loses!
I'm a genius.
Hey, where did Mira
and Prince Neel go?
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Wait for us.
Mira, can you read
that clue again?
"Mongooses keep an eye out
for snakes."
Princes should also keep
an eye out for snakes
Uh, Neel, is it my imagination
or does that look like
a nest of
Snakes?
It is not your imagination.
Wait a second.
I wonder if they're actually
Mira, you're going
the wrong direction!
-CHIKKU: Mira! Prince Neel!
-MIKKU: We'll save you!
Don't mess with us, snakes,
unless you're ready for battle.
Dance battle.
Ha ha! You lose!
Guys, those aren't snakes.
They're just tree roots.
Tree roots.
I knew that.
Well, you were both very brave
to protect us.
With you guys around,
we never need to worry about snakes.
-MIKKU: That's right.
-CHIKKU: You know it!
Hmmm. This coin says to check a rock
that looks like a mongoose's mouth.
And this coin says
to keep an eye out for snakes.
These tree roots look like snakes.
Maybe there's another coin
here somewhere.
Let's look around.
Chikku, did you know
Prince Neel can climb a tree?
I didn't! He'd make
an excellent mongoose.
Hey, there's something
in the tree.
Mira, check it out. Another coin.
MIRA: With the same
stone archway.
So it must be another clue.
Or another coin for our collection.
This side
has a sleeping mongoose.
It says, "After battling the snakes,
the brave mongoose needs a nap."
We battled the snakes.
Quite bravely, I would add.
So Where would a mongoose nap?
It looks like there are a lot
of great napping spots around here.
Like this Neem tree.
It's got a moss bed.
Nice and cushy.
(YAWNS) Actually, I could
fall asleep right now.
Prince Neel, we don't nap just anywhere.
We need the perfect spot.
Not too hot. Not too cool.
CHIKKU: Nice and dark.
Nice and dark, huh?
Yup. Unless I have a sleep mask.
Which I do not.
How about this hole
in the ground?
Looks cozy.
We'll check it out. Whoa!
This is the perfect place
to nap.
You gotta see this, Mira.
Chalo, chalo, let's crawl.
-Wow!
-This place is incredible.
-Neel, watch your head-
-Ow.
I wonder if mongooses
lived here a long time ago.
It's got two beds.
We have two beds.
And a cabinet too.
This must be
where the mongooses kept their snacks.
If there are snacks in there,
I probably wouldn't eat them.
No snacks, but there's this.
MIRA/NEEL: Another coin! Ow!
It has the same picture
of the stone archway on the front,
and on the edge it says
"Give the coins to the sleeping mongooses
here and you will find the cave."
MIRA: Our last clue.
All we need to do
is look for the sleeping mongooses
Mira, as a mongoose expert,
I can tell you with confidence
-that there are no mongooses here.
-Except for us.
-They have a point.
-Hey, look at that statue.
Kinda looks like bananas.
You see bananas everywhere, Chikku!
That totally looks like a mango.
I think it's something else.
And I've seen that shape before.
Let's think this through.
Earlier today, Mikku and Chikku
were taking a nap by the window.
Rather adorably, may I add.
MIRA: When they were napping
they were curled up in a shape
that looks just like
that statue.
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Oh, yeah.
That statue does look
like sleeping mongooses.
But how are we supposed
to give coins to a statue?
Well, it looks like
there are slots on top of their heads.
Hey, The coins we found
will fit into them.
May I see one of the coins, please?
Not these coins.
Yeah. They are
for our coin collection.
Guys, we came this far.
Don't you want to see the cave?
Of course we do!
Nothing's happening.
I want my coins back!
What's going on?
-(BOTH GASP)
-Whoa!
Something's
definitely happening! Whoa!
Dizzy mongoose, people!
(RUMBLING)
Whoa! That wall is opening up!
The stone archway!
Just like on the coin.
It's the entrance
to the legendary cave.
We found it.
-Amazing!
-Incredible!
Magnificent.
Look at these old paintings.
Those people must be ancient royals.
And look at the mongooses!
Right by their side!
Wow, our ancestors
actually got to hang out with royalty.
How lucky were they.
Ahem. I'm royalty,
and you hang out with me.
Hey, he's right, Chikku.
We hang out with a Prince!
We are so lucky!
Guys, come check it out.
They look just like you two.
-If you mean handsome and smart
-You're completely correct.
Hey, there's some writing
on the statue.
NEEL: It says
"Scratch the belly of the mongooses
and you will get a welcome gift."
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Oh!
(GIGGLING)
I think it means
those mongooses.
-Oh yeah.
-Our tummies were just itchy.
MIKKU/CHIKKU: Coins!
-Lots of coins!
-For our collection!
Yay!
Now I know why the royal detectives
couldn't solve this mystery before.
They didn't have amazing mongooses
on the case with them.
Our mongoose ancestors
sure had the life.
But we have the life too.
Because we get to go
on mysteries with you, Mira.
And you, Prince Neel.
-Aw, you guys.
-Bring it in!
