MIRA: Mikku and Chikku

Doll Detectives.

Huh. Not there.

What's not there, Mira?

My magnifying glass, Mikku.

Oh, no!

I put it down somewhere

and now I can't find it.

I need it to help Priya

to look for her gold beads.

BOTH: We'll help you.

As soon as we finish this snack.

-CHIKKU: Mmm.

-Okay.

I just need to retrace my steps.

Like this?

Sort of, Chikku.

Retracing your steps means

going back to where you were

so you can find something you've lost.

I took my magnifying glass

out of the drawer

so I could find a street on the map.

Not here, Mira.

And then I went to

Get a snack?

That's it!

BOTH: Snacks are always

the right answer.

Priya came in and offered me a snack,

and that's when I put my magnifying glass

down on the table.

So, it's got to be under all those papers.

BOTH: Check the papers.

BOTH: Magnifying glass!

Here it is.

Thanks, guys.

Can you keep an eye

on the agency while I'm with Priya?

-No problem.

-You got it.

And hey,

great job helping me

find my magnifying glass.

Keep up the good work

and someday you'll be detectives, too.

Did you hear that?

Mira said that someday

we'll be detectives.

Well, guess what?

Time for a mango lassi?

No. Today is the day!

Wha Wha What?

BOTH: Ouch!

Kamala, you're looking for Mira?

Yeah, Dimple and I need her help.

-BOTH: Oh!

-I lost my dolly.

Chikku, hear that?

We got our first case.

Lost dolly, eh?

Terrible news.

Terrible news!

Unfortunately, Mira is busy right now,

but today

is your lucky day, 'cause

The Mikku and Chikku

Chikku and Mikku.

detective agency

is open for business.

BOTH: Oh! Ouch.

Uh, I think we'll wait for Mira.

But I need to find my dolly right now!

Oh, please, no more yelling.

No more yelling.

Okay, fine. You're hired.

Okay. We are? Wait What? We are?

Thank you.

Detectives Mikku and Chikku

won't let you down.

CHIKKU: If we can ever get up.

Our first case!

BOTH: Hoo, yeah!

Let's grab some snacks for the road.

Good idea.

Thanks for keeping

an eye on the agency.

Where are you two going?

Dimple's doll is missing.

And we're going to help her find it.

Oh, yeah!

You said we'd be detectives one day

so we decided today's the day.

Well, that's great

but being a detective

takes time and patience.

We don't have time.

Or patience.

Whatever that is.

We have to find that doll now.

You two always help me

so how about this time

I'll be your helper on the case.

What do you say?

-The kid's got talent.

-And experience.

BOTH: We say, "You're hired."

We're on the case of the missing doll.

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

Food?

We're so on the case ♪

(BOTH VOCALIZING)

Now, what do you know

so far about the case?

It's important for a detective

to come up with a plan of action.

We don't have time for a plan.

'Cause we're ready for action.

Let's find that doll!

Hold on. Guys!

Wait for your helper.

Remember, detective ask questions

to help find out information.

(MOOING)

BOTH: Question.

Deputy Oosha, how long is your tail?

Which do you like better?

Your front hooves or your back hooves?

CHIKKU: Whoa!

(BOTH YELP)

MIRA: Guys

I meant you should ask

Dimple some questions

so you'll have clues

to help you find her doll.

You know for a helper,

she's got some pretty good ideas.

Agreed.

BOTH: Let's find Dimple.

Hold on!

(MOOING)

BOTH: Dimple!

Hello, Auntie.

Hello, Mira dear.

Dimple, I'll be

right over here hanging laundry.

Okay, Mama.

Dimple, hi.

We're here to ask you some questions.

About your missing doll.

Hello, gooses.

We're not gooses.

We're mongooses, you silly goose.

-Ooh!

-Mmm.

Not Not really a hugger.

So, Dimple.

Where were you playing

with your doll before you lost it?

Ooh, good question, helper Mira.

A plus.

I was painting right over there.

BOTH: Oh, paints!

MIRA: Guys, wait.

We're not done with the questions.

MIKKU: Uh, maybe it's hiding

in one of these paint buckets.

Dolly?

Hey, uh, are you in there?

Hello!

-No dolly.

-Not here.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Watch out, Dimple.

Aha! Very interesting. A green trail.

And a yellow trail.

I bet it's the doll thief.

Follow those trails.

Guys.

Guys.

BOTH: Oof!

Uh, guys, you made those trails.

You just dipped your tails in paint.

-That's true.

-Your point being

Let's try asking Dimple

a few more questions.

Maybe she can help us figure out

exactly where to look for her doll.

BOTH: Okay, helper Mira.

Now, Dimple,

what did you do

after you were done painting?

Mama asked me to feed Raj,

our chicken.

He lives in there.

So first you painted with your dolly,

and then you fed Raj.

BOTH: The chicken.

MIRA: Guys, wait.

(CLUCKING)

Getting some sleep

after swiping that dolly, eh, Raj?

-(CLUCKS)

-We know you took Dimple's doll.

Hand it over, Raj.

(CLUCKING)

Mira, come quick.

We need you to

arrest this chicken for doll stealing.

Uh, what proof do you have?

Um, proof?

Yeah, you know, proof.

Something that shows

that Raj took the doll.

Detectives don't accuse

anyone of being guilty

until they have all the facts.

Yeah, we don't have that.

All right, Raj,

tell us the facts

about how you stole that doll.

Yeah, Raj.

-(CLUCKING)

-(BOTH SCREAM)

CHIKKU: Angry chicken.

-(BOTH SCREAMING)

-(CLUCKING)

Raj, it's okay.

MIKKU: Whoa!

(SCREAMING)

MIRA: Mikku, Chikku, Raj!

(SCREAMING)

-(CLUCKING)

-(SCREAMING)

(MIKKU SIGHS)

It's okay, Raj.

I understand you're upset,

but Mikku and Chikku

didn't mean to make you angry.

They're still learning

how to be detectives.

Sorry, good chicken.

Very good chicken.

(CLUCKING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

-Okay, one problem solved.

-(DIMPLE SOBBING)

You're never going

to find my dolly, are you?

She's gone forever!

We're sorry, Dimple.

We told you

we would find your dolly,

and we didn't.

All we ever wanted

was to be detectives like you, Mira.

But our detective days are over.

Here, take our magnifying glasses.

Oh, the memories.

Oh, we had good times

together, didn't we?

Don't give up, guys.

Being a detective takes practice.

It means paying attention to everything

or you might miss an important clue.

But we like to go fast. See?

(BOTH GRUNT)

If you go too fast, you might miss a clue,

or blame an innocent chicken.

I guess Raj isn't very happy with us.

(CLUCKING)

Sometimes it's important

to slow down and look around.

Like right now.

What do you think Dimple needs?

(DIMPLE SOBBING)

Well, she sounds sad.

So maybe she needs something more

than just her dolly right now.

I know what she needs.

A hug!

Gooses!

(GRUNTING) Still not a hugger.

Ow! (GRUNTING)

Okay, Dimple, let's go find your doll.

Yay! Find my dolly.

And you guys are going to need

your magnifying glasses to do that.

But Mira,

we already tried to find the doll.

Where do we start?

First, let's go through

what we know so far.

Well, we know that

the doll is not in the chicken coop

Definitely not.

True. But what are we missing?

I think we need

to go back to where we started

and look for more clues.

BOTH: The easel!

Well, we know these paint trails

don't lead to anything.

Okay. See anything else

that could be a clue?

(GASPS) It looks like

there's something under the easel.

Aha! Yes. A paint splatter.

And inside it, is the shape of a doll.

Dun-dun-dun! ♪

(SOFTLY) This is so exciting.

Dimple, how did this paint

get splattered?

I spilled it everywhere.

Mama made me go change my clothes

so she could wash everything.

And when I came back,

my dolly was gone!

Wash everything.

Let's think this through.

MIRA: When Dimple was

painting with her doll,

she accidentally spilled the paint

all over herself and her doll.

If Dimple's mom had to wash

everything that got paint on it

And the doll was covered in paint

Then maybe

BOTH: The doll got washed, too!

BOTH: What?

Let's go ask Dimple's mom.

Auntie, where are the clean clothes?

In the basket, Mira.

BOTH: Check the basket.

Nope, not here.

That's not it.

Look good on me though, right?

CHIKKU: Keep looking. Keep looking.

Lookin', lookin', lookin'.

Well, hello, dolly!

(GASPS) You found her!

Thank you, gooses.

(SQUEALS EXCITEDLY)

(GRUNT) Okay, hugging's not that bad.

(SQUEALS EXCITEDLY)

Looks like the case of

the missing doll is

-Done?

-Finished?

Uh Over?

Closed. The case is closed.

Great job on

your first case, Mikku and Chikku.

Thanks. But I think

this our first and last case.

Yeah, being

a detective is way harder than we thought.

And you're really good at it, Mira.

We need more practice.

So for right now,

we're just happy being your helpers.

-And eating snacks.

-(CLUCKING)

Hey Raj, no hard feelings, buddy.

Friends! Right, Raj?

(CLUCKING)

CHIKKU: I think he may need

some more time!

MIKKU: No!

MIRA: The Case of

the Moving Day Meddler.

MIKKU: Hmm. That is so delicious.

Mm. These are even tastier

than the onion ones.

Aw! I didn't get any of those.

Here. Try one of mine.

Don't mind if I do.

(SIGHING)

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, I'd say it's a tie

but I'm gonna need

another sample to be sure.

Me too, Chikku.

I love all

the new snacks on the menu.

And It looks like

Dhruv is out to try them all.

Hey, Dhruv,

checkin' out the new menu. too?

(SIGHS) I wish.

My mom sent me to pick up

snacks for our journey.

A journey? Where are you going?

To my new home.

I just found out we're moving.

BOTH: What?

-To a new town.

-Oh, no, Dhruv.

We'll miss you.

I'm gonna miss you guys, too,

and Jalpur.

My parents are loading up the cart

so we can drive to the train station.

The train leaves tonight.

(VOICE FALTERS) Goodbye, old table,

I knew you well.

Dhruv, wait.

You can't leave Jalpur without

-a moving away party.

-(SIGHS)

Bye bye, pillow.

So long, cup.

That's right. You need a good farewell.

-With balloons.

-And sweets.

That sounds nice.

We'll get everything ready

and pick you up in an hour.

Thanks, guys. You're the best.

Party planning time.

Neel, can you handle the decorations?

Mikku and Chikku,

you're in charge of the food.

-Wise choice.

-She's a smart one.

Okay. Now that the agency is decorated,

let's get Dhruv

and have the best moving away party ever.

MIKKU AND CHIKKU: Oh, yeah!

Hi Uncle. Is Dhruv home?

It's time to par-tay! ♪

Mongoose style!

Dhruv's not here, Mira.

His mom asked him

to pick up a few things for our journey.

Though we're not going

anywhere with this cart.

Oh, no! What happened?

It's the strangest thing.

When I came outside

to load up our suitcases,

I noticed one

of the wheels had been taken off.

That is strange.

Can I give you a hand?

I'm pretty good at fixing things.

Thank you, Prince Neel.

But I'm afraid it's not a simple job.

See, whoever took the wheel off,

dented the spokes.

It'll take hours to fix.

We're gonna miss our train.

I wonder who would do this.

I bet Mira can figure it out.

She's a really good detective.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I wouldn't want

to bother the Royal Detective.

I'm sure you have much more

important cases, Mira.

All my cases are important, Uncle.

Besides, Dhruv, is my friend.

Hmm.

Look what I found.

There are purple

fingerprints on the wheel.

You didn't happen to see anyone

with purple ink on their fingers?

No, I didn't.

So, you think someone

with purple ink on their fingers

took off the wheel and dented it?

-Sure. Looks that way.

-(BLEATING)

-Sounds like Bhanu.

-Love that goat.

I don't have time for this nonsense.

Not today.

Shilpa, what happened?

Somehow Bhanu got into our luggage.

I spent days getting things organized.

-(BOTH GRUNTING)

-(BLEATING)

CHIKKU: Come back

with that scarf, Bhanu.

BOTH: Whoa!

Ugh! Come on.

(BLEATING)

Chikku, you corner him from there

and I'll get him from here.

On it.

(BLEATING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(BLEATING)

(GRUNTS) Got her.

You didn't get her, you got me.

(CHUCKLES) Whoopsie.

Auntie, does Bhanu

always go into your house?

Of course not.

Her gate is usually locked.

Someone must have let her out.

May I take a look

at Bhanu's gate, please?

Absolutely, dear.

Ajay, we have so much to do.

How will we ever make our train tonight?

It looks like we'll have to take the train

tomorrow morning instead.

Hmm. Check it out.

More purple fingerprints on the gate.

NEEL: Same as on the wheel.

MIRA: Exactly.

MIKKU: Whoa!

(BLEATING)

CHIKKU: Whoa!

-(GROANS)

-(CRASHES AND SPLASHES)

(SPUTTERING)

We got him right

where we want him, Auntie.

Auntie, you didn't see anyone

with purple ink on their fingers, did you?

Purple ink? No, I didn't. Why?

Because there are more

purple fingerprints on the gate.

Who is this person

with purple fingerprints?

I don't know. But don't worry,

I'll figure it out.

Mama, I got the

sandalwood soap you wanted.

Hey guys, I'm ready for my party.

Sorry, Dhruv. We're going to

have to postpone your party.

We're on a very important case.

Someone with purple fingerprints

has been up to no good.

Oh. Okay.

Let's head back to the detective agency.

See you later, Dhruv.

So someone with purple fingerprints

took the wheel off

the cart and opened Bhanu's gate.

NEEL: And because of both of those things,

Dhruv's family missed their train.

What if the person

with purple fingerprints

is trying to mess up their move?

But why?

To steal all of Dhruv's snacks.

Obviously.

We need to stop

the person with purple fingerprints

from doing anything else bad,

so Dhruv's family

can make the train tomorrow.

But how do we stop someone

if we don't know who it is?

Ha! That's where I come in.

Mira, do you have some rope

and a big piece of fabric?

-Sure.

-We can use it

to set a trap

outside Dhruv's house tonight.

BOTH: Ooh!

If the person with the purple fingerprints

tries anything else, we'll catch them.

Great idea, Neel. Chalo, chalo, let's go!

Almost, uh Done.

There.

Now we need to take this end of the rope

and hide it under some leaves.

That way if

the person with purple fingerprints

comes near the house,

they'll be caught in the trap.

-He's a genius.

-Brilliant.

And all we have to do,

is come back tomorrow morning

and see if we caught someone

with purple ink on their fingers.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Well, I mean,

that depends on what you're thinking.

We'll spend the night in the goat pen

and keep an eye out for the person

with the purple fingerprints.

BOTH: Sleep over!

(BOTH GRUNT)

Good idea.

Oh, if I'm sleeping here

I'm gonna need my fluffy pillows.

We don't have time

to get your fluffy pillows.

We're on a case.

Okay, I guess I'll just have to

snuggle with you, Bhanu.

(BLEATS)

You two are becoming

excellent detective helpers.

NEEL: Good night, you guys.

MIRA: See you tomorrow.

Make sure you keep an eye out.

MIKKU: Mira

BOTH: We got this.

-Bye, guys.

-Have a good night.

Nothing's gonna get by us.

Not a thing.

-(ROOSTER CROWING)

-(ALL SNORING)

-Good morning.

-BOTH: Whoa!

How did it go last night?

Did the person with

the purple fingerprints come back?

Um About that.

We tried to take turns staying up

but Chikku over here

forgot to wake me up.

I forgot to wake you up?

You forgot to wake me up. Tell her, Bhanu.

-(BLEATING)

-(GRUNTING)

(GASPS) Hear that?

I think Neel's trap caught someone.

(BLEATING)

Your trouble-making days are over,

person with purple fingerprints.

Uh That shoe looks kind of familiar.

(GASPS)

Neel?

(GRUNTS) Yes. It's me.

Aha! Prince Neel is the person

with the purple fingerprints. I knew it.

Mmm-mmm.

You can't trust anyone these days.

Just sayin', I called it.

It wasn't me. I couldn't sleep all night.

I was so excited

to see if we caught someone.

I ran over here, but

You accidentally stepped

into your own trap?

Yup. (SIGHS) Soggy samosas.

Oh, Mira, dear. You better come in.

We have another problem.

We're not gonna make our train.

Our tickets are missing.

I can't find them anywhere.

When was the last time you saw them?

Just this morning.

I put them in an envelope

and set it right here on this table.

Then I went to get a cup of tea,

when I came back, they were gone.

Maybe you moved

the envelope or it dropped.

The envelope was still on the table

but the tickets were gone.

(GASPS) Look! Purple fingerprints.

The same as the ones

on the wheel and the gate.

You're kidding.

-What?

-Dun-dun-dun! ♪

I'm sorry to say this, Auntie,

but it looks like

it was the same person again.

But who? And why?

And how did they get in the house?

We set a trap outside.

Hey guys. What are you doing here?

Did you hear?

The person with

the purple fingerprints struck again.

The train tickets are gone.

And possibly all the snacks, too.

So We can't go?

Unless we find the tickets soon,

we're going to miss the train.

Again.

I'll keep looking.

Well, I guess I better start unpacking.

Hang on, Dhruv.

Maybe you can

help me out with this case.

(HESITANTLY) Um Sure, Mira.

I'm trying to figure something out.

If no one came into the house last night,

that means the person

who took the train tickets

must have already been inside. Right?

I'm not much of a detective.

But I'll take your word for it.

Ugh. My pen's not working.

Dhruv, do you have a pen I can borrow?

Sure thing.

Looks like you've got

some purple on your fingers, Dhruv.

(ALL GASP)

Oh, yeah. This pen leaks all the time.

Dhruv, can we talk for a moment,

in private?

Dhruv, let's think this through.

Someone with purple ink on their fingers

left purple fingerprints

on the broken wheel,

on Bhanu's gate

(BLEATING)

And on the envelope

with the train tickets.

And the fingerprints

all match the ink on your fingers.

Dhruv, do you know where

the train tickets are?

Yeah. (SIGHS) I do.

I hid them.

So you're the one

who took the wheel off the cart

and opened Bhanu's gate.

Yes. It was me!

I was trying to mess up our move.

You really don't want to move. Do you?

No way!

I'm scared to go to a whole new town

where I don't know anyone.

Dhruv, I think you should

tell your parents how you feel.

But when they find out

I did all these things,

they're gonna be so mad.

If you tell them the truth,

I have a feeling they'll understand.

Mira, can you be there

while I talk to them?

Absolutely.

I'm really sorry for what I did.

I know I caused a lot of problems.

It's just, I really don't wanna move.

Move?

Dhruv, we're not moving.

-We're not?

-Oh no, no, no, no, no.

We're spending

three weeks in Dolapur

with your cousins before they move.

So, we're not moving?

BOTH: We're not moving.

Whoo-hoo!

Hear that, Mira? We're not moving.

That's great news.

I guess I don't need

a goodbye party now.

But we did get sweets and decorations.

So you know what I'm thinkin'?

What we're all thinking!

Par-ty!

Sounds like the case is closed.

We may have been listening in.

Dhruv, I'm so glad you're not moving.

(TABLA PLAYING)

CHIKKU: Mongoose style!

-Yeah.

-Thanks, everyone.

This is the best not-going-away party

I've ever been to.
