(TRAIN HOOTING)

CHIKKU AND MIKKU:

"Mira's Birthday Mystery."

(MIRA YAWNING)

SAHIL: Ah, look who's up.

Good morning, Papa.

It's a great morning,

because it's your birthday.

-Happy birthday, Beti.

-Thank you.

I have a sweet surprise for you.

Is it rice pudding?

Of course.

My favorite. Papa, it smells so good.

It sure does.

Chikku, you're supposed to

add the nuts to the rice pudding,

not eat them.

Oh, yeah? 'Cause that's

exactly what you did with the raisins.

(SAHIL CLEARS THROAT)

BOTH: What?

Mikku, Chikku, is there

anything you want to say?

-Huh?

-Oh, yeah.

BOTH: Happy birthday, Mira.

(LAUGHS) Thanks, Mikku and Chikku.

May you be blessed with

a long and happy life, Mira.

Mmm, this rice pudding

is so delicious, Papa.

-Very tasty, uncle.

-Mmm. Delish.

To make it extra special,

I added rose water.

It's your mother's recipe

for rice pudding.

Made with love.

It's delicious. Thank you, Papa.

I wish I didn't have to rush you on your

special day, Mira,

but Queen Shanti asked

to see you right away.

-(CHOMPING)

-Right away? I'd better get dressed.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Seconds, please.

Did the queen say why she needs to see me?

No, but it must be important

if she's asking for the Royal Detective.

I bet you're right.

See ya later, Papa.

Come on, Mikku and Chikku, let's go.

Mira, we know exactly

why Queen Shanti wants to see you.

-You do?

-Uh, yeah.

I bet it's 'cause she planned something

really special for your birthday.

I bet there's a royal birthday

feast with treats.

Ooh, maybe she even named a bridge

after you, Mira.

(CHUCKLES) Guys, I think

you may be going a little overboard.

Mira, it's your birthday

and you're the Royal Detective.

Whatever it is,

it's going to be a big deal.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: (GASP) Wait!

Where's the big deal?

Mira, dear, thank you so much for coming.

Of course, Queen Shanti.

I don't see any birthday treats.

Ooh, I bet the queen hid them.

Chikku, you search

the left side of the hall,

and I'll take the right.

(GRUNTS)

Mira, I'm sure you're wondering

why I called you here.

I think I may have an idea.

It's something you're gonna love.

A new case.

ALL: A new case?

Indeed. A strange note was left outside

the palace, in this envelope.

Interesting. It's addressed to the palace,

but who is it from?

There is no name.

This is all very mysterious.

Let's check the note.

-Gotta be a birthday card.

-Oh, yeah.

MIRA: A puff of steam, wheels and a bell.

It definitely isn't a birthday card.

Hmm. I wonder what it means.

I know you will figure it out, Mira.

Well, I must go do some

Queen things.

Please let me know

when you solve the case.

I will, Your Majesty.

We'll find out who sent it and why.

We're on the case of the mysterious note.

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

That's what detectives do ♪

We're on the case ♪

Wait a second, the queen

didn't even mention your birthday.

Guys, Queen Shanti

is very busy running the kingdom.

She must've forgotten.

Now, let's get down to solving this case.

Can you think of anything better

to do on my birthday?

Eat some cake.

Open presents.

NEEL: Oh, hey, Mira.

Hi, Prince Neel.

Prince Neel will definitely remember

Mira's birthday.

Yes, but we should help remind him,

just in case.

Ah, Prince Neel.

Mikku and I were just saying,

it sure is a "special day."

Yes, indeed-a-roo,

a day that comes only once a year.

Hint. Hint.

Yeah, every day is a special day.

Don't you think?

I, uh, just want

to have a quick word with mira.

-Oh, that's a good sign.

-A very good sign.

Mira, oh, good, my mom gave you the note.

Isn't it strange?

No one in the palace

can figure out what it means.

Do you know

where exactly the note was left?

I think it was outside the front entrance.

Neel, do you recognize

any of these pictures?

Uh, no. Nope, I don't.

Hmm. Maybe the pictures are clues.

If we follow the pictures,

maybe we'll find out who sent the note.

Can you join us on the case?

Uh, soggy samosas!

Would you look at the time?

I'd love to help, but, uh

I have to

go do prince things.

Okay.

BOTH: What?

Prince Neel.

Aren't you forgetting something?

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention,

your whiskers

look really good today, Chikku.

Did you get them trimmed?

Why, yes I did.

Thank you for noticing, Your Highness.

This isn't about your whiskers, Chikku.

This is about Mira's birthday.

Wait, where is Mira?

-Mira!

-CHIKKU: Wait for us!

If the pictures are in fact clues,

the question is,

where do we find a puff of steam?

That's easy.

BOTH: Mr. Puri's restaurant.

Especially when Mr. Puri

is cooking samosas,

then there's lots of steam.

You're right.

I'm not sure what the steam

has to do with the wheels and the bell,

but maybe we'll find

some other clues there.

We will definitely find samosas.

(LAUGHS)

(STEAM HISSING)

Okay, we found some puffs

of steam coming out of those pots.

Hmm. And there are some wheels.

Let's take a closer look.

Meena, they're not going to fit.

I will make them fit. (GRUNTS)

You're going

to end up squashing all of the

Shh!

Mira, hi.

What are you doing here?

I'm on a new case for Queen Shanti.

I'm trying to find

the things on this note.

Nope, these wheels

are different from the picture.

Well, we gotta get going.

Yep, we do. See you. Bye.

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: What!

-Bye.

Her own cousins

didn't even wish her a happy birthday.

Not cool. Not cool!

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Hold up, right there!

-We need to talk.

-Meena, Priya.

Aren't you forgetting something?

-Forgetting something?

-Huh?

(GIBBERISH)

(BOTH MIMIC GASPING)

-Hey, yeah!

-Yeah, whoo.

(MIMICS CHOMPING)

Oh, I know exactly what's wrong.

You guys are hungry, aren't you?

-Well, I mean, always but

-BOTH: What?

Samosas all around. Here you go.

Not what I was thinking, but okay.

-Well, we gotta get going.

-We need to do

BOTH: Uh, sister things. Bye.

This isn't about samosas for once.

It's about Mira's birthday.

-But since we have them

-(BOTH CHOMPING)

MIRA: Guys, I have an update on the case.

Bad news, I don't think

we're in the right place.

Why is that, Mira?

I checked all the wheels

around the restaurant,

none of them match the wheels in the note.

And these bells don't match either.

Yep. She's right about that.

But they sure sound pretty.

I wonder where else

you could find a puff of steam,

wheels and a bell. Hey

Steam, wheels and bells.

-The chai cart has it all.

-Ooh, I could use some chai.

Yes, that would hit the spot,

after those samosas.

Chalo, chalo, let's go.

Mom, we should get going.

Oh, yes, dear, we should.

Mira, Mikku, Chikku

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

What are you guys, uh, doing here?

Hi, Kamala. Queen Shanti asked me

to help out on a case.

Do you mind if I look around?

Oh, uh, go ahead, Mira.

Kamala, isn't there something you want

to say to Mira?

Something you're

possibly forgetting to say?

Oh, yes!

Mira, would you like a cup of chai?

Thanks, Kamala, no chai for me.

But I do have a question for you.

Someone left this note at the palace.

Do you have any idea who sent it?

Me? I Well

I'm supposed to be somewhere.

But, if I hear anything,

I'll let you know. Bye!

Unbelievable.

No words. No words!

I know what I'm getting Kamala

for her birthday,

a calendar with Mira's birthday on it

in really big letters.

The wheels on the cart

look similar to the ones in the note.

Ooh, sounds like progress.

But these bells look different.

So this isn't the right place either.

(BELL DINGING)

Wait a second,

I remember hearing that bell this morning.

Let's think this through.

We're looking for something

that has steam, wheels and a bell.

This morning, I heard a bell.

The bell of the train.

You know what else you find on a train?

Wheels. And trains also have steam.

The Jalpur Express has all three things.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Genius!

MIRA: And they look just like

the ones on the note.

Maybe if we go to the train,

we can figure out

who sent the note and why.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: To the train station.

MIKKU: Okay, we're here.

CHIKKU: What now, Mira?

Let's split up and check out the train.

See if you can find anyone

who knows about the mystery note.

I'll look in the passenger car.

I'll take the luggage car.

Engine car for me. Choo-choo!

(TRAIN HOOTING)

Hello?

Anyone here?

ALL: Surprise!

Happy birthday, Mira!

(LAUGHS)

This is amazing.

I can't believe you did this.

Well, well, well.

Now that you're all here,

we have something to say.

We can't believe

you forgot Mira's birthday.

Guys, they didn't

forget my birthday. Look!

We were just trying to keep

the surprise party, well, a surprise.

And it is very difficult to keep a secret

from our Royal Detective.

(CHUCKLES) No one asks

more questions that you, Beti.

So you were all in on the plan?

ALL: Yes.

Prince Neel came up

with the clues for the note.

And Priya drew the pictures.

We decided the best way

to make sure you didn't find out

about the party was to send you on a case.

Well, I love it. All of it.

Thank you everyone.

This is the best birthday.

You know what we say

"All aboard"

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: "The party train!"

Choo-choo!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Happy birthday, Beti.

Happy birthday, Mira.

MIRA: What a party.

MIRA: "The Great Art Mystery."

All finished. I hope you guys like it.

-Me too.

-Oh, I really hope I like it.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Whoa.

Look at the handsome mongoose

with the glasses, Chikku.

Sorry, what? I'm too busy admiring

the mongoose next to it.

-Thank you, Mira.

-We love it.

I'm so glad to hear that.

Are you guys ready

to head over to the art show?

Not yet. You didn't sign

your name on the back.

Yeah. Every artist needs

to sign their painting.

Oh, right.

MIKKU: Chikku!

We're going to be in a painting

that's in an art show.

-You know what this means?

-We're gonna be

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: stars!

(CHUCKLES) Signed and ready. Let's go.

MIRA: This way guys.

The art show is going

to be right here behind the palace.

Hi, Deputy Oosha.

-(OOSHA MOOING)

-Nice to see you.

You're looking well, Deputy.

(MOOING)

Mira, hi.

Hi, Priya. You did an amazing job

putting this art show together.

I'm so grateful Queen Shanti

offered to have it at the palace.

Ooh, nice work on your painting.

Thanks. Your art lessons helped a lot.

Great choice of models, too.

Excellent choice.

-Where do you want it?

-Right here.

I saved you a spot.

Perfect. Thanks, guys.

Hi, we're in a painting.

Want our autograph?

Autograph right here, people.

Form a line. Form a line.

Autograph?

You would like my autograph?

Why, of course.

Oh, uh, thanks.

Prince Veer, great job.

Thank you, Mira. This one is also mine.

-Nice.

-Ooh.

-Mine.

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Very nice.

-Mine. Mine.

-CHIKKU: Ooh. I know that guy.

-Oh, and mine as well.

-CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Nice!

So many different styles.

And yet, all with the same

inspiring subject.

Me.

-Uh

-DHRUV: Hey, Mira.

Has the art show started yet?

Not yet, Dhruv. We're still setting up.

Great. I have a painting.

Wow. It's incredible.

Look at the colors. And the brush strokes.

I've never seen

anyone use tree bark as a canvas.

Genius. That's what it is.

The boy's got talent, I tell you.

Really? Thanks, everyone.

But I didn't paint it.

ALL: You didn't?

Nope. I found it and thought it would

be great for the show.

-If you didn't paint it, who did?

-I have no idea.

Let's check the back

to see if anyone signed it.

Good idea, Mira.

MIRA: Huh, there's no name.

I can't put it in the art show

without asking the artist's permission.

Priya, it must go in.

Yeah. I need to meet this genius artist.

I agree.

We have to find out who painted it.

We are on the case

Dhruv can you tell me

where you found the painting?

On the road.

You know, the one

that leads to the cave above town.

Mango lassi?

-Ooh, yes please.

-I'll take one.

I'll take two.

Thank you.

(SLURPING)

Huh? That yellow paint

is the same color as mango.

Priya, where would

someone buy this color paint?

The only place to buy paint in town

is the art shop. Why?

Maybe the art shop owner will remember

who bought that yellow paint.

We need to ask him.

I'll come with you.

I have a little time

before the show starts.

This painting is going

to make the art show.

MIRA: Mr. Burman,

do you remember anyone buying paints

that could have been used to make this?

Mira, in all the years

I've been selling art supplies,

I've never seen paints like these before.

-I told you it was special.

-So you don't sell it?

No one sells it, Mira.

-What?

-Huh?

-Come again?

-Oh, my head hurts.

Well, regular paint is smooth.

This paint has tiny chunks in it.

I think your mystery artist

must make their own paints.

And also

(SNIFFS)

It smells like mango.

ALL: Mango?

Wow. Paint that's also food.

That artist is definitely a genius.

And look at that two tone brown.

It reminds me

of the clay in the cave above Jalpur.

Dhruv said he found the painting

on the road to that cave.

Let's go look for clues there.

Good luck. Oh, and when you find them,

tell them I'm a fan of their work.

Thank you for all your help, Uncle.

MIRA: Here's the cave.

And there's the mango tree.

So many mangoes.

Let's take as many as we can, Mikku.

Oh, uh

-Oh, no.

-No, no, no, no.

I got it.

Hey, what is this bucket doing here?

That's perfect for carrying our mangoes.

-Thanks, Mira.

-MIRA: Wait.

There's something inside.

It looks like squashed mangoes.

Ooh, want us to taste it and find out?

Thanks, Chikku, but it may be a clue.

Maybe the mystery artist

made paint out of mangoes

in this very bucket.

See, it's the exact same

color as on the painting.

Let's check out the cave.

Mr. Burman thought

the browns in the painting

looked like the browns in the cave.

What do you think, Priya?

Yes, the colors match.

But I don't see any other paint buckets.

Let's keep looking.

Mira, look at all these buckets.

Someone just left them here.

How rude.

I think it's someone's art studio.

PRIYA: Mira, check it out.

Another bucket.

With cave clay in it

that looks like brown paint.

Hey, look at this.

It's a lot like the painting Dhruv found.

Same thick paint,

same unique brush strokes

Same delicious mango.

It must be painted by the same artist.

But where are the brushes?

I don't see any.

CHIKKU: Looking, looking.

MIKKU: Nope, not in here.

-No, none here.

-Don't see anything.

No, no paint brushes.

Well, we found the art studio.

If we figure out who it belongs to,

we'll find our mystery artist.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Stakeout.

That's right.

The best thing we can do

is wait for the artist to return,

we just need to find a good place.

I know the perfect spot.

MIRA: Everybody in position?

Yep.

-In full position.

-You know it.

-(FAINT FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

-Someone's coming.

Who is it? Who is it?

Shh!

It's just Deputy Oosha.

She's on patrol.

Solving mysteries sure makes me hungry.

Mmm, me too.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I can't eat another mango.

Me either. Do you think the artist

will ever come back?

It is taking a long time.

And we can't wait any longer.

We need to get back

to the palace before the art show starts.

-(BELL JINGLING)

-Wait, I hear something.

It's just Deputy Oosha again.

Mmm?

Carry on, Deputy Oosha.

(MOOING)

Wait a second.

What's that on Deputy Oosha's tail?

It looks yellow.

Yellow, like the inside of a mango.

Let's think this through.

We think the mystery artist

used mangoes to make paint

inside the cave.

And we know that there were

no paint brushes in the cave,

but what if someone

used their tail as a brush?

Someone like Deputy Oosha.

That would explain

why she went to the cave.

And why there were

no paint brushes in there.

Right. You're saying Deputy Oosha

is the mysterious artist?

She's a police cow and an artist?

Chikku, she can be more than one thing.

All of us are.

Uh, Mira, Deputy Oosha's leaving.

We need to ask her about the painting.

Come on!

Deputy Oosha! Wait!

(MOOS INQUISITIVELY)

Dhruv found this beautiful painting

on the ground.

We were wondering, did you make it?

(MOOS)

You did?

Deputy Oosha,

you're such a talented artist.

I'd love for your painting

to be in the art show.

(MOOS)

-Is that a yes?

-Could be a no.

Deputy Oosha! Wait!

You have a very special talent.

You're not just a police cow,

you're also an artist.

All of us can be so many things.

We'll show you.

-Deputy Oosha.

-Let us paint you a picture.

And that's case closed!

Great, let's head back to the art show

so we can put it up.

Wait, Deputy Oosha,

first you have to sign the back.

(MOOING)

BOTH: Mango paint?

(MOOS)

What a beautiful piece, Deputy Oosha.

Thank you. Thank you for sharing it.

And, Priya, thank you for organizing

this wonderful art show.

It is my pleasure, Your Majesty.

And, Mira, thank you

for finding our mystery artist.

Of course, Queen Shanti.

I need to get a closer look

at this so-called masterpiece.

It's incredible.

That paint. Those brush strokes. Genius!

Trust me, it takes one to know one.

(MOOING)

Deputy Oosha, wonderful job.

I discovered her.

Deputy Oosha, you must show me

how you make your paints.

-Deputy Oosha.

-We are huge fans of your work.

Huge!

So, when you're thinking

about what to paint next

BOTH: Think mongoose!

MIKKU: How's this pose?

CHIKKU: Wait, I only have a good side.

-Nevermind, how's this?

-MIKKU: This's better, right?
