MIRA: "The Mystery of the Secret Room."

MIRA: Nice shot, Neel.

Thanks, now let's see what you've got.

This is really exciting.

Mikku, what's this game again?

It's called carrom, Chikku.

The goal is to get the other

players' pieces into a corner pocket.

Shh!

Eh, not bad, Mira. But check this out.

-Yes!

-Good one, Neel.

Now watch me go.

-Aw.

-Oh, so close.

I'm still winning, Neel.

Make your next move.

Or do you just wanna make me

carrom champion right now?

This game isn't over yet, Mira.

You can do this, Prince Neel.

-(GASPS)

-Watch out!

Soggy samosas.

That wasn't supposed to happen.

I'll get it.

Hurry back, 'cause whoever wins

this round is going down.

Priya, so competitive!

I don't believe my ears.

What? I like to win, too.

Mira, focus on sinking those pieces

in those pockets.

It's you and the pockets,

you and the pockets.

NEEL: Found the piece!

It went into the library and

-(CLATTERING)

-Whoa!

Neel, everything okay?

Neel?

-That's weird. Why isn't he answering?

-Let's go check.

Hello?

-Neel!

-Hello!

PRIYA: Prince Neel!

CHIKKU: Prince Neel!

-MIRA: Where are you?

-Where is he?

I'm not sure, but he's very hard to find.

You know, the old Royal Detectives

that came before me used to say,

"When solving a mystery

gets tough, look closer."

So, let's look closer.

-We're looking closer.

-Looking closer.

If I was any closer,

I'd be on the other side of this table.

Wait a second, is it me,

or does that table look

like it's been moved?

Now that you mention it, yes.

-For sure.

-It does!

Looking closer,

-I see the carrom piece.

-Good eye, Mikku.

Neel must have moved

the table when he was looking for it.

But why would Neel leave the carrom piece?

He wouldn't. This is weird.

(MUFFLED TAPPING)

Guys, did you hear that?

-Hear what?

-(TAPPING CONTINUES)

That tapping noise.

It sounds like it's coming

from under the floor.

Let's stay close.

-Staying close, Mira.

-Real close.

Huh, these stones look like

they're darker than the others.

I wonder why.

-Good question.

-She's very observant.

(ALL SCREAMING)

Hey, guys.

-Neel, there you are.

-MIKKU: You're here!

You're never going to believe this.

We all fell through

a trap door into a secret room.

-CHIKKU: Wow.

-Amazing.

I wonder whose secret room this is.

How do we get out of here?

I tried to openthe trap door

with this cane I found.

-But it won't budge.

-(TAPPING)

So, that's the tapping

we heard up in the library.

Don't worry, everyone.

We'll find another way out.

We're on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

We're on the case ♪

This place is incredible.

-Yeah.

-Seriously.

(GRUNTS)

Whoever's room this is,

they have huge eyes.

Or teeny-tiny ones.

Huh, they look just like

my royal magnifying glass. Hang on.

-Chikku, what's that next to you?

-CHIKKU: (MURMURS) I don't know.

It's a note.

"You found my room but not the door.

"You will not find one through the floor."

Yep. Already tried that.

"There's a door. Look closer, you'll see.

"Your biggest clue here will be me.

"Signed, Detective Gupta."

That's the Royal Detective

who came before me.

This must be his secret room.

-Wow.

-Amazing.

You heard the detective.

Let's look for clues and find that door.

This wallpaper has drawings

of magnifying glasses.

But I don't see a door anywhere.

Chikku, Chikku.

Yeah, this is not the secret door.

-Huh?

-(DOOR CREAKS OPEN)

Ah, yes. The old secret door

in the mirror trickeroo.

It's a secret door,

but it's not the way out.

Check out all these gadgets. A periscope?

I've only seen drawings

of these in inventors' books.

Looks like Detective Gupta

invented detective gadgets.

-But why keep them locked in here?

-(METAL CLANGS)

Probably because they still need work.

-Don't worry. I'm on it.

-(METAL CLATTERS)

Soggy samosas.

-(METAL CLINKS)

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-I got you, Chikku!

-Whoa!

CHIKKU: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Thank you, Mikku.

Now, let's keep looking for a door.

Guys, look at this.

It's a painting of Detective Gupta.

Eyes on the prize, people.

We're looking for a door, not a painting.

Well, the note he left says,

"The biggest clue here will be me."

And he's in the painting.

So, maybe he's trying

to tell us something.

I don't know.

But remember

the Royal Detective's favorite saying.

"When solving a mystery

gets tough, look closer."

So, let's look closer.

-He standing on a staircase.

-And he's pointing.

But what's he pointing to?

My head. Definitely my head.

No, Chikku.

What's he pointing to in the room?

It looks like he's pointing

to the ceiling.

The painting's a little crooked.

MIRA: Huh, I wonder

if it was left that way on purpose.

Let's see what happens

when we straighten it.

(GASPS) Look,

when the painting's straight,

the finger points this way.

Ah, I feel something on the wall.

(GASPS) It's a doorknob!

It blends into the wallpaper.

That's why we didn't see it before.

The painting is a clue.

He's pointing at the doorknob.

Detective Gupta, you sneaky guy, you.

Well played, Detective.

-Another secret room?

-With rides.

-Whee!

-I love rides!

-I don't see a door in this room either.

-Detective Gupta pointed us here.

So, there must be another clue somewhere.

To another secret door?

Maybe. Let's look around.

Well, this isn't the way out.

But does anyone need a disguise?

MIKKU: I'll take one.

CHIKKU: Me too.

Ooh, I like this.

Elephant with glasses? Uh, yes, please.

Ooh, yeah.

(BOTH HUMMING)

BOTH: Who are you?

BOTH: Oh.

These disguises are good.

MIRA: Check this out.

"101 Disguises for Detectives."

So that must be his disguise closet.

But we still haven't found a way out.

Well, since the first

note was inside a hollowed-out book,

maybe there's a clue

inside one of these books.

Let's spread out and look.

MIKKU: Oh, boy.

CHIKKU: Is that everything?

Yep, that's all the books.

And I didn't see any hidden doorknobs.

Wait, there's one more book.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: We got it.

Another note.

"There's a door here or maybe two.

"Look for the art,

and you'll find your clue.

"Signed, Detective Gupta."

Great, so what does that mean?

Let's keep looking for the way out.

Remember what

the Royal Detectives always say?

"Look closer."

Hey, what's that bookend doing there?

Bookends are supposed

to be on book shelves.

Right, but this is

the only one we've seen.

I wonder why.

"Look for the art,

and you'll find your clue."

-The bookend is art.

-MIRA: You're right.

It's a teeny-tiny staircase.

It's really hard to climb.

-It's a sculpture, Chikku.

-Whoa!

-(WHIRRING)

-(ALL GASPING)

Whoa, there's a secret

passage behind the bookshelf.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Except that we're in yet

another secret room.

Time to give our

mongoose muscles a workout.

Oh, yeah!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Hey, maybe this lever

will open up a secret door.

-(LEVER CREAKS)

-(WHIRRING)

Uh, no.

But it got the floor to start moving.

(PANTING) The rings? The moving floor?

I think this is Detective Gupta's

training room.

Why would a detective

need a training room?

-(PANTING)

-Sometimes we have to run, jump,

pedal a rickshaw really fast.

(PANTING) A detective

always has to be in shape.

(PANTING) Priya, if you don't mind

-Oh, right.

-(WHIRRING STOPS)

-MIRA AND NEEL: Thank you.

-This is all great,

but what we really need is a door.

-I don't see any doors.

-Let's think this through.

First, we saw a painting

of Detective Gupta

standing on a staircase and pointing.

That led us to the second room.

In the second room, we found

the bookend in the shape of a staircase.

That led us to this third room.

Both clues had staircases in them.

So you're saying all we need

to do is look for a staircase

and we'll find our way out.

-Exactly.

-There's a painting of a staircase.

MIKKU: But how does that help us?

Yeah, at least the other painting pointed

to something.

Remember what the Royal Detectives

always say.

ALL: "Look closer."

Looking closer and closer

and closer and

-Hey!

-(THUDS)

(GASPS) This isn't a painting at all.

It just looks like one.

And it leads to a real staircase.

(ALL GASPING)

Neel, you found the staircase.

Chalo, chalo. Let's go.

MIKKU: Come on, Chikku.

CHIKKU: Oh, yeah.

Look, another door.

-But is this one real?

-Let's check.

-(THUMPING)

-It is! Yes!

That must be the way out. Hang on.

What's this?

-(WHIRRING)

-(THUDS)

(ALL GASPING)

It kind of looks like

your detective notebook, Mira.

Only bigger.

Look, another note from Detective Gupta.

"To Mira, Royal Detective."

What? He knew you'd find it?

Let's be honest. That's crazy.

"Excellent job finding

your way out of my secret room.

"In your hands, you hold a special book.

"Within these pages, you will find

"all the unsolved mysteries of Jalpur.

"If anyone can solve them, it's you."

Wow, Mira.

Detective Gupta is asking you to solve

all the mysteries

that no one else has solved before.

But I can't do it alone.

I'm going to need you guys

as part of my team.

-Oh, yeah!

-NEEL: You're on.

-Sure.

-Thanks, guys. You're the best.

Good news. This exit leads into

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: The kitchen!

The case of the secret room is closed.

And now we can get back to our game.

I look forward to beating you.

All the unsolved mysteries in Jalpur.

Hey, Mira. You coming?

I'm right behind you.

I can't wait to solve these.

MIRA: "The Mystery of

the Magnificent Musicians."

(PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC)

That sounds great, you guys.

I can't wait for the jam.

I'm always excited for jam, Mira.

-Hope it's apple.

-Personally, I prefer mango.

(LAUGHS) It's not

that kind of jam, Chikku..

It's a music jam. A jugalbandi.

That means lots of different musicians

will be playing together on that stage,

tonight, at sunset.

Oh, hear that, Chikku?

-You and me

-Back on stage.

Sounds like everyone's

excited for the Jalpur Jam.

And so am I.

Namaste, Joshi sir. We can't wait.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

It's my favorite day of the year.

Anyone can bring an instrument and play.

What's better than people coming

together to share music?

And we have some very special musicians

from out of town joining us today.

Their names are Rishi and Rashi.

This flyer says they're the most

magnificent musicians of all time?

-Ooh.

-Ooh.

-Huh, I've never heard of them before.

-But they have a flyer.

-So they must be magnificent.

-(CARRIAGE APPROACHING)

Whoa, look at that!

-Looks like they're here.

-(MONKEY CHITTERING)

-Ooh, hey buddy.

-Hiya, monkey. What's your name?

Your playing is most impressive.

I am Sanjeev Joshi,

music teacher and owner

of the Jalpur Music Shop.

It is an honor to have you visit our town

and join our jam.

I'm Mira. I hope we can

all play as well as you one day.

Thank you, kind friends who love us.

It is not easy being

such magnificent musicians.

Oh, indeed, indeed!

-But magnificent we must be.

-(CHITTERS)

This is our stage manager.

-(CHITTERS)

-Natwarlal.

Hi, I'm Mikku, and this is Chikku.

Mongoose to monkey,

I'd just like to say welcome to Jalpur.

(CHITTERS)

-I think he's feeling very welcome.

-Definitely.

Well, we had better

finish getting ready for the jugalbandi.

We'll see you on the stage?

-With pleasure.

-Most magnificent.

BOTH: Bye!

Mikku, Chikku,

let's grab our instruments and head down.

Uh, where are our instruments?

Mira, they're gone!

That's so strange.

They were right there a moment ago.

Mira, if we don't have our instruments,

we can't play in the Jalpur Jam.

-And neither can you.

-Don't worry.

We're on the case of

the missing instruments.

we saw our instruments,

Such a shame.

Losing our instruments would be

Tragic, just tragic.

We wish you luck with your search.

-Good luck.

-Very much luck.

-Thank you.

-So much luck.

-Good luck.

-May luck be with you.

Good luck to you.

-So much luck.

-Best luck abound.

Oh, Mira, I feel terrible.

I wish I could lend you some instruments,

but I've promised them all

to other young musicians.

Don't worry, Joshi sir.

We will find our instruments.

-Let's start searching for clues.

-BOTH: On it!

(PLAYING TUMBI)

Excuse me, sir.

I believe you have Mikku's tumbi.

-Hand it over!

-I beg your pardon?

Chikku, that is not my instrument.

-He's headed to the jam.

-Ah, carry on.

(PLAYING TUMBI)

Hi, Mira. Are you ready

for the Jalpur Jam?

I am so excited! I've never played

my bansuri on stage before.

Oh, I gotta go warm up.

-I'll catch you later, okay? Bye!

-ALL: Bye, Pinky.

CHIKKU AND MIKKU: Love her.

Hey, check this out.

Did you see anyone eating an apple?

No, Mira. And you can't drop everything

whenever you see food.

Yeah, we're looking for clues, Mira.

Guys, I think it is a clue.

(DISTANT CHEERING)

-Listen, did the jam start?

-(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Without us? They wouldn't.

No, it's coming from the marketplace.

-Let's check it out.

-MUSICIANS: Hey!

MIRA: Looks like

Rishi and Rashi just performed again.

It's kind of odd that

they keep performing before the jam.

I think they really love it

when people clap for them.

-Wouldn't you?

-(CHITTERS)

And there's our new friend.

Hey, buddy, how's it going?

Any time for a quick lunch?

(CHITTERING)

Okay, maybe dinner.

Mira, you'll never believe what happened.

What is it, Pinky?

My instrument. It was right here.

But now it's gone.

-ALL: What?

-Oh, no.

Our instruments are missing, too.

But don't worry. We're on the case.

We're on the case

We're on the case ♪

-We're on the ♪

-Guys, guys.

We're already on the case, remember?

-Oh, right.

-We just got excited.

Our bad.

Pinky, tell me exactly what happened.

Well, I stopped to listen

to Rishi and Rashi perform.

They are amazing.

And I put my bansuri down behind me.

(NATWARLAL CHITTERS)

After they finished playing,

I turned around,

and my bansuri was gone!

Mira, do you really think you can find it?

I wanna play in the Jalpur Jam so badly.

We all wanna play, Pinky.

And we're going to find our instruments.

Let's keep searching for clues.

Mira, look. More apple chunks.

Huh, that's strange.

You know, every time

an instrument disappeared,

it was while Rishi

and Rashi were performing.

So maybe they saw something.

We need to talk to them. Come on.

MIKKU: It looks like

they're getting ready to play again.

CHIKKU: They're tuning up

their instruments.

Actually, it sounds like they don't know

how to tune up their instruments.

That's strange.

Rishi, Rashi,

we have some questions for you.

Oh, I'm so sorry, dear.

We do not take questions from our fans.

As magnificent artists,

we must think only about

BOTH: Ourselves.

-Makes sense.

-Perfect sense.

I actually don't agree with that.

SANJEEV: Mira, any luck

finding your instruments?

Not yet, Joshi sir.

Well, I sure hope you find them.

I'm bringing these down to the stage.

The jam is starting soon, you know.

ALL: We know!

Hey there, friendo.

Want a tour of town? We are expert guides.

(CHITTERING)

He must have so much on his mind.

-Mmm, poor monkey.

-(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

MIRA: They're playing again.

Ooh, let's go listen.

They really are magnificent.

ALL: Hey!

MIRA: Oh, no.

SANJEEV: All my instruments. They're gone!

-Oh, come on.

-Seriously?

-Mira!

-You're not gonna believe this.

More apple chunks.

That's too strange.

So many people were counting on me

for those instruments.

Without them, I'm afraid I'll have

to cancel the Jalpur Jam.

-MIKKU AND CHIKKU: No!

-No!

I'm sorry, everyone.

-Aw.

-Nightmare!

Don't cancel yet, Joshi sir.

There has to be some explanation

for all this.

We really need to ask Rishi

and Rashi some questions. Come on.

-Rishi, Rashi.

-MIKKU: Mira.

Remember, they don't take questions

from fans.

(CHOMPING)

Wait a second.

What's that crunching noise?

The monkey. He's eating an apple.

(WHISPERS) Mira,

he's been working all day.

Yeah, a monkey's gotta eat.

But it isn't the first time

we've seen an apple today.

Let's think this through.

We found apple chunks

in a few different spots.

And in each spot,

instruments went missing.

Since that monkey was eating an apple,

maybe he has something

to do with the missing instruments.

-Mira, don't worry.

-We'll ask my best friend some questions.

Guys, I don't think we're going to get

any answers out of the monkey.

I have another idea.

But we're going to need some backup.

Deputy Oosha,

I believe that someone

has been stealing our instruments.

Hmm?

I have a plan,

but I need you to stay here and watch,

in case we need any help.

(MOOING)

Great, thanks. Let's do this.

Joshi sir?

Here you go. The last dholak from my shop.

Pinky, good luck, you can do this.

Pinky, you can do this.

Pinky, you can be a hero.

Pinky, don't let me down.

Excuse me! Rishi, Rashi?

You are so amazing.

I'd love to watch you play

so I can learn from you.

I have my dholak here.

Oh, yay!

An encore? Indeed, we exist to serve.

And so now we serve

BOTH: Ourselves!

(PLAYING UPBEAT MUSIC)

Everyone, keep an eye on that monkey.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

-(ALL GASPING)

-Hmm?

Mira, you were right!

I knew there was something funny about

that monkey.

Seriously, who wouldn't wanna be

friends with us? Us!

Look, the stolen instruments.

They're in the back of the cart.

Hmm! (MOOING)

-(MOOING)

-(GASPS)

(SCREECHING)

-Check out what else is in there.

-Hmm?

Mira, why do they have a phonograph

playing music

when they're supposed

to be playing the music themselves?

Good question.

Let's see what happens if we turn it off.

(MUSIC SLOWS)

(MUSIC STOPS)

Hey!

(ALL GASPING)

(STAMMERS) Our music stopped!

They're not even

playing their instruments!

They're not real musicians. They're fakes!

-Quick! Make a break for it.

-Making a break!

(MOOING)

(RASHI GRUNTS)

Hey, you're those bandits.

Why in the world would you steal

all our instruments?

Why do you think?

'Cause if we sell these instruments,

we'll get a whole lot of money.

That's right. Stealing stuff is our thing!

(MOOING)

The case of the missing instruments

CHIKKU: is closed!

All right already.

-We're going, we're going.

-(MOOING)

Come on, everybody.

Let's grab our instruments.

Because the Jalpur Jam is on!

-Bansuri time!

-(CHEERING)

-Ready, Chikku?

-Uh-huh.

-(PLAYING MUSIC)

-Hey, Chikku.

You know who

the real magnificent musicians are?

-Us?

-No.

Everybody!
