‎In the daytime, I'm Marinette.
‎Just a normal girl with a normal life.
‎But there's something about me ‎that no one knows yet.
‎Because I have a secret.
‎♪ Miraculous! Simply the best! ♪
‎♪ Up to the test when things go wrong! ♪
‎♪ Miraculous! The luckiest! ♪
‎♪ The power of love, always so strong! ♪
‎♪ Miraculous! ♪
‎What do you think, Plagg?
‎[sniffs] Ugh!
‎Why give someone something that can't ‎be eaten and doesn't have a scent?
‎If you gave me that, ‎I'd be seriously offended.
‎Maybe I should get a second opinion.
‎-What is it? ‎-It's a gift for Marinette.
‎-It's for a surprise birthday party. ‎-Marinette?
‎The girl who won the fashion contest. ‎She made the hat I wore at your show.
‎She's awesome. She loves helping--
‎I don't recall giving you permission ‎to go to her party.
‎Please, Father. Marinette deserves ‎to have all her friends there!
‎-All right, then. ‎-Thank you, Father.
‎I carry the lucky charm you gave me ‎wherever I go.
‎I think it works pretty well.
‎I thought you were ‎protecting Adrien from Marinette,
‎the one you said was a bad influence.
‎From now on, you and I are at war.
‎You will lose your friends and wind up ‎all alone, and Adrien will soon be mine.
‎We'll see about that, Lila. ‎We'll see.
‎[Lila] ‎My plan is taking ‎a little longer than expected, sir.
‎But you won't be disappointed.
‎[intriguing music]
‎[phone rings]
‎Will you keep your promise ‎if I succeed?
‎I always honour my commitments.
‎-You work too hard, sir. ‎-Now's not the time to ease up, Nathalie.
‎-‎[school bell rings] ‎-[laughs]
‎I'm friends with the best ‎manga publisher in Japan.
‎I could talk to him about your project!
‎-She's such a liar! ‎-You gotta stop obsessing over her!
‎I've graded your mock exam papers. ‎Most of you did quite well.
‎Some better than others. ‎But, first, Marinette,
‎could you bring your school bag to me, ‎please? I need to check something.
‎Today, someone placed ‎an anonymous note in my mailbox,
‎claiming that you'd stolen ‎the exam answers.
‎And it looks like ‎the anonymous person was right!
‎[everyone gasps]
‎That's not true! Someone must have ‎planted that piece of paper in my bag!
‎-But you answered everything correctly! ‎-I did?
‎Yes! But because I studied.
‎Miss Bustier, Marinette ‎always scores high on your tests.
‎This is so terribly unlike you. ‎You're usually so well-behaved!
‎Of course! You put the answers in my bag! ‎You're the anonymous informer!
‎[gasps] I'm coming to your defence ‎and you're accusing me?
‎You can't accuse someone without proof‎, ‎Marinette‎.
‎But I'm sure it's her! ‎She stole the test answers!
‎That's impossible, Marinette. ‎Lila got the worst grade in the class.
‎Th... then ‎she flunked the exam on purpose!
‎[Adrien] ‎Excuse me, Miss Bustier,
‎but everyone here knows ‎it isn't like Marinette to cheat!
‎-‎[acquiescing] ‎He's right! ‎-‎[girl] ‎It doesn't make sense!
‎[pupil] ‎She'd never cheat. ‎She doesn't need to.
‎Marinette, Lila, ‎please go to the principal's office
‎until we get to the bottom of this.
‎[angrily] Hm.
‎I swore I'd make your life unbearable, ‎Marinette!
‎Let's see ‎how you get out of this one.
‎I'm not falling in your trap, Lila!
‎Too late, you already have!
‎-Where are you going? ‎-You're about to find out.
‎Ready?
‎Ouch! Ow! Aaah!
‎-[Lila] ‎Ouch, my leg! ‎-[gasps]
‎What happened over here?
‎Marinette pushed me down the stairs!
‎In my office!
‎[Marinette] ‎But, sir, it wasn't me! ‎I didn't do anything!
‎[Lila] ‎Why doesn't she like me?
‎I've tried to be her friend, ‎but she keeps calling me a liar,
‎getting the others to gang up against me
‎and now she's pushing me ‎down the stairs? Ow!
‎Those are total lies!
‎Go on, Lila.
‎She even took a necklace
‎I got from my grandmother, a fox pendant.
‎Took? As in stole?
‎That's not true! I never stole anything!
‎-My daughter is not a thief! ‎-Why should we believe any of this?
‎You're accusing her without proof!
‎Oh...
‎I have proof.
‎[intriguing music]
‎Open your locker, please.
‎-[gasps] ‎-‎[Lila] ‎My grandma's pendant!
‎[she's surprised]
‎She's making up this whole thing! ‎It wasn't me!
‎-‎I didn't do anything, I swear! ‎-Oh!
‎You know Lila's lying, ‎don't you, Adrien?
‎-Mr Damocles, I don't think... ‎-Marinette Dupain-Cheng,
‎-you are expelled from this school! ‎-[all] Oh!
‎Lila Rossi was right. ‎This was worth the wait.
‎The downfall of Marinette brings about ‎the despair of everyone who trusted her.
‎I can feel the huge waves of negative ‎emotions as they come crashing down.
‎Are you ready, Nathalie?
‎More than ever.
‎Catalyst, I'm giving you back the power ‎to transform me into Scarlet Moth!
‎From now on, ‎you are the almighty Scarlet Moth!
‎Thanks to you, I can now release ‎as many akumas as I desire!
‎Ah! Fly away, my little akumas!
‎Find Marinette and her friends,
‎and evilise them all!
‎[Hawk Moth] ‎Verity Queen! ‎Princess Justice!
‎I am Scarlet Moth.
‎Since the innocent ‎isn't to be believed any more,
‎I'm giving you both the power ‎to expose the truth!
‎As for you, my desperate, loyal ones, ‎disappointed by she
‎who you once admired so much,
‎I'm glad to have you back!
‎In return, you will bring me ‎Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous.
‎-What's wrong? ‎-Nothing.
‎-Everything's fine. ‎-Dark wings fall!
‎[Tikki] ‎If you'd been akumatised,
‎you'd have handed over ‎your Miraculous to Hawk Moth.
‎There would have been no more Ladybug.
‎-We can't let that happen! ‎-Neither Lila nor Hawk Moth will win!
‎I'll prove my innocence! ‎If only ‎Alya ‎could ‎help‎ me‎.
‎Alya didn't become akumatised ‎earlier today at school.
‎I'm sure it's because she trusts you. ‎Call her!
‎You're right!
‎[Alya on the phone]‎So, let's recap.
‎You're accused ‎of stealing the test answers.
‎Evidence one. The answers ‎were found in your school bag.
‎You're accused of pushing Lila downstairs. ‎No one witnessed this,
‎but everyone did see Lila on the floor.
‎You're also accused of stealing Lila's ‎necklace, which was found in your locker.
‎And you have a motive. I know for a fact ‎that you've hated Lila from day one
‎because she hangs around Adrien.
‎[relieved] ‎I'm so glad I called you.
‎-Thanks for your support. ‎-You're my best friend.
‎I believe you, ‎but the evidence is stacked against you.
‎The good thing is, the greatest reporters ‎always seek the truth.
‎So, I'm going to prove your innocence!
‎Phew! Thanks, Al!
‎First off, a culprit always leaves clues.
‎Following these clues will lead us...
‎To Lila!
‎No! To the guilty party!
‎If you're quick to accuse Lila, ‎you might overlook others.
‎Oh... Right.
‎Whoever it was ‎had to have touched your locker
‎when they put the necklace in. ‎I'll check for fingerprints!
‎-Marinette, can we have a word? ‎-I'll meet you later.
‎Now, listen, honey. We love you, ‎but this has gotten very complicated.
‎Until we've found a new school, ‎we've decided you should help us here.
‎But I'm telling you, I didn't do anything! ‎If I have to spend my time here,
‎how can I prove I'm innocent?
‎It's fun here in the bakery, you'll see!
‎Once again, Mr Agreste, ‎make sure she gets lots of rest.
‎Of course. Thank you, Doctor!
‎Perhaps you can still take advantage ‎of the chaos that Lila has wreaked.
‎That plan is pointless without you.
‎You're right.
‎[complaining] ‎Then I have to...
‎There will be no more Catalyst, ‎or Mayura.
‎[Gabriel] ‎I warned you, using a broken ‎Miraculous ends up breaking its wearer.
‎The wounds on the Miraculous ‎are becoming your wounds.
‎I don't care, Gabriel. I want to help you.
‎Not at that cost. ‎Never at that cost again.
‎[intriguing music]
‎Shh!
‎Woohoo! Yay! ‎You're feeling better already!
‎-[coughs] ‎-Oh, no! Spoke too soon.
‎-But then... what are we doing here? ‎-Gabriel would never allow me to do this,
‎but I'll create ‎a very powerful Sentimonster,
‎the most powerful that's ever existed.
‎No, don't do that! You should be resting!
‎Gabriel so desperately ‎wants the Miraculous
‎and I'll give it to him.
‎Boohoo! It's so romantic!
‎Duusuu, spread my feathers!
‎[intense music]
‎Go, my beautiful amok, ‎and bring my creation to life.
‎Ladybug, I am Mayura.
‎You are Cat Noir's true teammate ‎and you've one goal,
‎to get hold of the Miraculous!
‎I'm ready, Mayura.
‎Always make sure you've got your right ‎angles. There!
‎Then, you fold the pastry towards you ‎first, about two-thirds of the way...
‎[phone rings]
‎Can I please answer?
‎We're not done with our flaky pastry yet.
‎[phone]‎It's Marinette! Leave a message!
‎OK, so here's the skinny ‎on my investigation so far.
‎No fingerprints, no evidence. ‎Whoever did this was very thorough.
‎I'm sorry. We'll be in touch.
‎[laughter]
‎[beeping]
‎[news]‎I'm live from the Arc de Triomphe, ‎where Ladybug is battling
‎against ‎a new supervillain.
‎I am Mayura,
‎and I'm about to annihilate Ladybug!
‎[evil laugh]
‎Don't tell me. ‎We have to go and help your lady!
‎She and I are a team, Plagg!
‎We'll help Marinette, but first... ‎Plagg, claws out!
‎[lively music]
‎-Cat Noir to the rescue, milady! ‎-Pretend to be hurt!
‎[screams] ‎Aaah!
‎Milady! No!
‎[man] ‎Ladybug is fighting a villain
‎at the Arc de Triomphe.
‎[woman] ‎Isn't Cat Noir with her?
‎What's this about Ladybug and Mayura?
‎-It must be one of Hawk Moth's traps! ‎-Must get there before he gets tricked!
‎[dynamic music]
‎Ha, ha! Oh! I'm such a klutz! ‎Can I go change my clothes, Dad?
‎No need, sweetie. Don't worry. ‎A good baker's never afraid to get dirty!
‎You can change after you're done ‎decorating these gingerbread men.
‎[efforts of Marinette]
‎-You OK? ‎-Don't worry about me. Go after Mayura!
‎Ow! Ow!
‎Cat Noir, I don't feel so good.
‎There's something wrong. ‎We're supposed to be nearly invulnerable.
‎He doesn't suspect a thing! ‎Grab his Miraculous, his ring,
‎before the real Ladybug gets here.
‎Cat Noir, don't leave me.
‎What... What's going on?
‎I've gone out of my way ‎to hide my feelings for you,
‎but I just can't do it anymore.
‎But I thought you said ‎you loved somebody else!
‎It's... It's over.
‎After all this time, I've realised...
‎You're always here for me, ‎even when I keep rejecting you.
‎Your feelings for me haven't changed ‎and mine are growing stronger every day.
‎I can't keep pretending any more.
‎Now!
‎[Ladybug] ‎Watch it, Cat Noir,
‎you're confusing fantasy with reality!
‎-You're not Ladybug? ‎-No, she's not me!
‎She's manipulating you. You know ‎I'm ‎already ‎in love with someone else.
‎-Listen to your heart! ‎-No, listen to your brain!
‎You're just an illusion!
‎See? I'm real enough!
‎Impossible! ‎There can't be two Ladybugs!
‎She must be a fan‎...
‎A‎kumatised by Hawk Moth!
‎Don't fall for her tricks!
‎-Milady, no! ‎-We've got a villain to fight!
‎-We'll take care of me later! ‎-That's the lady I know!
‎Ugh! I can't believe you fell for that!
‎OK! Good job, you win! ‎I am the fake Ladybug.
‎But there's no way ‎I'm letting you cataclysm my earrings!
‎What? Why does she... ?
‎You wanna bet?
‎-Over to you, Cat Noir! ‎-Cata...
‎No! Not the earrings!
‎-Hello, Mayura! ‎-Huh?
‎Mayura? But‎...
‎S‎he looked so real!
‎Things aren't always what they seem!
‎This Ladybug isn't an illusion ‎or an akumatised person.
‎-Uh-uh! She's a Sentimonster! ‎-But she's so much more elaborate.
‎So perfect! There's nothing monstrous ‎about her at all!
‎Sorry, kitty, but you should have known. ‎I'm nowhere near as perfect as her!
‎I love you just the way you are, milady!
‎Got a hint of where the amok is... ‎Look at what Mayura's holding!
‎Whatever it takes, ‎steal their Miraculous from them!
‎Senticharm! ‎[lively music]
‎-Whoa! ‎-I'll show you a real... Lucky Charm!
‎[lively music]
‎OK! You're definitely the real one!
‎Hey! Help me! I'm stuck!
‎Nathalie!
‎Nooroo! Why didn't you wake me up?
‎I couldn't bring myself to, Master. ‎You were sleeping so peacefully.
‎Mayura looks exhausted.
‎It's our chance to find out ‎who's beneath the mask!
‎Cover your ears!
‎[scraping sound]
‎No!
‎-What's going on? ‎-You're right.
‎There's nothing monstrous about her.
‎Whoever owns this controls her. ‎She couldn't help but follow orders.
‎Sentimonster, you're free now! ‎I won't give you orders.
‎But I ask you, ‎help us grab Mayura's Miraculous!
‎Thank you, Ladybug. I will help you!
‎Are we cool or are we cool? We could call ‎ourselves "Cat Noir and his Ladybugs"!
‎I prefer "The Bugettes and Kitty Cat"! ‎What do you think?
‎-You're in charge, Ladybug! ‎-[sighs] I should have guessed!
‎[Mayura] I release you,
‎from existence.
‎How could you?
‎-Getting sentimental on a sentimonster? ‎-Hawk Moth!
‎You're the real monster!
‎Oh, that you'll find out very soon!
‎We missed you, Grandpa! You don't mind me ‎calling you Grandpa, right?
‎You won't be joking around ‎when I take your Miraculous!
‎Cat Noir, cover me!
‎[evil laugh] Check, Ladybug!
‎-No! ‎-Cataclysm!
‎Good move, kitty! Now all I have to do is ‎grab Mayura's Miraculous and it's over.
‎Checkmate! You'd better surrender!
‎Ha, ha, ha! ‎All I need to do is wait a few minutes
‎until you and your pet ‎transform back into regular kids,
‎so fragile, so easy to break!
‎-Release him! ‎-Release her!
‎-Don't mind me! ‎-Don't listen‎ to him‎!
‎You had Mayura right where you wanted her. ‎I could've managed! Why did you do that?
‎Because we're Ladybug and Cat Noir!
‎"Ladybug" by itself ‎doesn't sound half as cool!
‎You shouldn't say things like that to me!
‎But the real Ladybug's heart ‎still belongs to someone else.
‎Ha! I should have guessed that too!
‎Miraculous Ladybug!
‎I guess even that ‎can't bring our bugette back.
‎Peacock's superpower ‎can be so cruel when wrongly used.
‎Even more than the butterfly's one.
‎You've disobeyed me again, Nathalie, ‎and put yourself in danger for nothing.
‎[tries to recover her breath]
‎Your idea was brilliant, but you don't ‎need a Miraculous to help me.
‎There was something else you needed ‎Mayura for, to find the Guardian.
‎I'm not so sure anymore.
‎If you ever need Mayura again, ‎I'll be here for you.
‎[soft music]
‎-Thank you. ‎-Oh, Adriano, ‎come stai‎?
‎I'm good, thanks, Giuseppe.
‎-Lila? ‎-Do you know each other?
‎Oh, man, your papa's new muse ‎is incredible!
‎She's been all around the world, ‎she knows everyone
‎-and she's Italian, just like me! ‎-Hi, Adrien!
‎You're gonna give me tons of tips, ‎because I'm not as experienced as you are!
‎Would you mind ‎leaving us alone for a second?
‎Sure.
‎I warned you once already, ‎but you didn't listen.
‎You hurt Marinette and that's not OK.
‎Me? Hurting Marinette? ‎But she's the one...
‎I can't prove you lied, ‎because you're good at it.
‎So you'll have to come up ‎with another convincing lie,
‎only, this time, ‎it'll prove Marinette's innocent.
‎Why would I do that, Adrien?
‎Because we're friends, aren't we?
‎And because of this rare disease, ‎sometimes I can't control things I say.
‎I'm really sorry, Marinette.
‎Thank you for your confession, Lila. ‎It's very moving!
‎Marinette, you will of course be allowed ‎back in school tomorrow.
‎People should know things ‎aren't always what they seem.
‎So... Look, I don't know why ‎you felt the urge to start all this,
‎or why all of a sudden ‎you lied to fix this mess,
‎but I'm glad you're capable of ‎coming back to your senses, sometimes.
‎As you said, things aren't always ‎what they seem to be at first sight.
‎I knew my daughter ‎was innocent all along!
‎[happy exclamation]
‎Oh! Aren't those your classmates?
‎[coughs]
‎This week, we'll visit the set of ‎Gabriel Agreste's latest photoshoot
‎for an exclusive interview ‎with his new muse, Miss Lila!
‎Oh! I'm glad her disease doesn't stop her ‎from following her dreams!
‎[lively music]
