Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (2015) s06e02 Episode Script

[panting]
Don't tell me
you're back to spying on Adrien.
You two are together now.
I'm not spying on him, I'm spying
on the girl he's running with.
- Sublime?
- Yeah, I wanna know more about her.
Why don't you just ask Adrien?
Already did.
- [Alya] And?
- And nothing.
What do you mean, nothing?
I said
"Surely you two tell things to each other
when you're running together
every morning.
You're practically holding hands."
And what did he say?
Nothing. They run,
but they don't say anything to each other.
Not a word! But it's impossible
to be silent next to someone
for that long.
They must be hiding something.
There, there! Oh, she said something!
Oh, wait. No, no, no. She just sneezed.
Could it be
that you're a little jealous?
Me? Jealous? Ha! No way.
See? Since Sublime
is now friends with Adrien
I should be friends
with Sublime.
Are you following?
It just makes sense.
The friends of my boyfriend
who aren't yet my friends
are my future friends,
meaning I can't get this wrong.
Except the target isn't just anyone.
Sublime Varlette
was born in Belgium.
According to the website
of Moucron where she grew up
she was, and I quote,
"the pride of the city."
And for good reasons.
She won first prize at the conservatoire,
she plays the harp and the flute
and speaks five languages.
Her parents settled in Paris
after their divorce,
and even though she hasn't been
in Paris long,
Sublime has already joined
several associations and clubs.
She also won gold
in the para-athletics 100 and 400 meter
and is currently training
for the upcoming world championship
by running every day, every morning
with Adrien,
supposedly without speaking.
Grr! I'll never measure up
to a girl like that, Alya.
I'll never be as sublime
as she is! [sobs]
You're putting
too much pressure on yourself, girl.
If you want to get to know her,
just go talk to her.
Too risky. You have one chance
to make a first impression.
Okay,
so what are you going to do?
I'm gonna show her
that I can measure up.
Because that's what it means
to be a friend.
It's showing that you're here, always,
and that you're resourceful
in any and all situations.
Okay. Well,
my dear resourceful friend,
I'll leave you
to your mess-making
and we'll catch up later.
[chuckles]
Uh Hey, wait, Alya.
Aren't you going to stop her
from making a mess of things?
You know Marinette,
once she's made up her mind
it's hard to convince her
that she's wrong.
Besides, mistakes are just
learning opportunities.
Ha! Marinette loves to learn.
Still, keep an eye on here,
Tikki.
[gentle music playing]
[Marinette]
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've got a secret.

Up to the test when things go wrong ♪
Miraculous, the luckiest ♪

Miraculous ♪
- [background chatter]
- [grunts]
- [gasps] Sorry.
- [boy groans]
Marinette, are you sure
this is the best way
to become friends with Sublime?
Of course, Tikki.
Everyone loves having a friend
unexpectedly show up to help.
[softly humming]
Now's my chance.
[Sublime continues humming]
Aw, you ate it all up,
my little baby birds.
- [humming]
- [birds tweet]
- [clang] Ow! Ah!
- Hm?
[groans]
Mm. Hmm?
[buzzer sounds]
This is the chance I can't miss.
I know where to get chopsticks!
- [whizzes by, grunts]
- Huh?
[Sublime humming] Mm.
- Grr! [grunts]
- Hmm?
- [Marinette squeaks]
- [giggles]
Friends, I know how stressful
city life can be,
which is why I'll play
a little harp piece for you all.
[playing harp]
I just need a little luck.
Like if one of her harp strings
could break.
Then I'd find a replacement for it.
She'd be so moved. It would signal
- the beginning of our friendship and--
- [twang]
[gasps]
[squeals]
I'm sorry!
Major string emergency!
[gentle music playing]
[playing harp]
[groans]
Hmm?
[Dad] I'll be waiting
for you by the entrance.
I'm so proud of you, sweetie.
Okay, Dad, I'll see you soon.
The trial is starting earlier.
Would you mind
picking up my homework assignments for me?
- Not at all.
- Um
Don't turn round. Uh, there's a girl
with ponytails behind you
hiding behind a plant. Could she
be your girlfriend by any chance?
Yeah, that description sounds fitting.
He's talking to her, she's talking to him.
Which means they're talking! Oh!
Could Adrien have lied to me?
Maybe it's because
they're in the same class.
Ancient Greek class! Oh, no!
They're gonna speak in code
so that no one can understand them.
Do you know why your girlfriend
has followed me all morning?
Oh, don't worry about that.
I think she wants to be friends
and get to know you,
but it's not always easy for her.
[laughs]
How unique.
That's Marinette for you.
How about arranging something
for the three of us to meet?
- That's a great idea. I'll go ask her.
- Great. I have to go. See you tomorrow.
- Good luck with the trial.
- Thank you.
I've been caught!
Code red. Tactical retreat!
[elevator dings]
Oh, no! She saw me following her.
Now she's furious and decided to stop
being friends with Adrien
- and to leave the school!
- Are you really sure about any of this?
Yes, but I'm going
to fix my mistake.
Because if Sublime is no longer friends
with Adrien because of me
then Adrien won't love me anymore,
and that will be the end
of our relationship
and the end of everything!
[groans]
[Marinette]
Sublime! [gasps] Forgive me!
I've been the worst friend ever!
Severin,
let her manage on her own.
What, I'm just giving her
a little help, that's all.
If you really want what's good for her
then stop helping her
every time she's faced with a challenge,
or she'll never learn
to get by on her own.
[Sublime grunts]
[Dad] Hmm.
[gentle music playing]
[air hisses]
She's been in there
for at least 20 minutes, hasn't she?
Maybe she's encountered a problem.
Yes, yes. She probably needs help
from a friend.
- I'm going in.
- [Tikki] Wait, Marinette!
- What is it?
- We don't even know why we're here.
Alya was right from the beginning.
I'll talk to her.
- Huh?
- Hide, Tikki.
Oh, where did she go?
If you agree to sponsor my daughter,
you won't be disappointed, Mr. Roth.
What's her marketing strength?
She's the fastest runner.
Look, Sublime won gold
in the 100 and 400 meter
at the regional para-athletics.
- Gold? Yeah, right.
- [gasps]
- More like junk.
- It's symbolic.
Symbolic? Ha-ha!
Symbolic money is worth nothing.
I told you, Caroline.
Finding a sponsor isn't easy.
But it's okay.
Sublime has time. She's young.
Uh, Mr. Roth? Wait.
At the world championship
it'll be a real gold medal.
100 percent pure gold.
Ah! This changes everything.
In that case,
if I do sponsor her and she wins
I keep the medal.
Consider this an advance payment.
I don't like
the way he operates.
Without a sponsor, Sublime won't be
allowed enter the world championship.
Is that what you want for your daughter?
For her to fail again and again
like her father?
We accept your offer, Mr. Roth.
Easy, easy.
I'm not offering anything yet.
I wanna see
what your daughter's worth
- on the track first.
- Hmm.
[gasps] An akumatized villain
disintegrated Sublime,
leaving only
her prostheses behind. Tikki!
Marinette, maybe there's a more
logical explanation. Marinette!
Surely you're not going
to disturb her now?
You're right. Yes. I'll wait.
- [toilet flushes]
- Oh!
[Sublime whimpers]
[sobs]
[sighs, exhales]
I know you're in here.
I know you're hiding,
lurking in the shadows
ready to leap out
and stop me from winning.
- But I won't let you!
- [gasps]
When you come, I will be ready
and I will overcome you.
No one can stop me from getting
what I want, especially not you!
[squeaks]
Hmph.
[grunts]
She hates me because
she can't have what she wants.
What does it mean?
[gasps] She's in love with Adrien!
[gasps] My water bottle.
[gasps] She's coming back
to overcome me!
Ha-ha ha-ha! I'm Soapynator,
not at all Marinette Dupain-Cheng!
I hate dirt
and clean everything in my path.
[laughs maniacally]
- [laughing]
- [sighs]
Listen, Marinette,
or Soapynator.
I'll happily have a chat with you
after my trial, okay?
I really don't have time now.
So wait for me here.
Do not move,
and do not follow me.
[grunts]
I no longer have a choice.
- Tikki--
- Wait, what are you gonna do?
I can feel that she didn't fall
for my costume.
But if I become Ladybug,
she'll be convinced
I was akumatized for real.
- Marinette, this is-- [exclaims]
- [Marinette] Spots on!
[gasps]
Hold tight, sweetheart.
I have to do a final adjustment
on your right prosthesis.
If you find it too difficult
you have the right to give up.
You know I'll always love you.
It's okay to be afraid
and it's okay
not to succeed all the time.
Thanks, Dad.
Don't listen to your loser
of a father. I know it's in here.
Fear is always ready
to stop you from winning.
But you're ready.
You just need to overcome that fear
and turn it into a strength
that will make you soar.
Remember, no one can stop you
getting what you want.
You're my champion.
You're Sublime.
[Sublime grunts]
[agent] On your mark.
Get set. Go!
[triumphant music playing]
[gasps]
[agent gasps]
Where is the akumatized villain?
Where is Soapynator?
[Sublime gasps, yells]
- [Mr. Roth groans]
- [Dad yells]
Oh, don't go, Mr. Roth.
[panting] Everything's okay,
Ladybug.
It's just
Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng?
Yeah, she's a girl from my school.
She pretended to be akumatized
and disguised herself
as Soap-bucket-ator, or something.
My friend Adrien explained
that if she likes someone
she starts to act peculiar,
which means
she likes me, I guess. So
There's no danger. I'm not
hurt. Everything is fine.
Oh, this is a disaster.
We've just lost months of work.
We've done it once.
We'll do it again, Dad.
[gasps]
Give her another chance.
It's just a setback.
Precisely. Time is money
and a setback
is not money in my wallet.
[gasps]
[Chrysalis] Hello, ma'am.
Forgive my intrusion
but I seem to sense
a considerable frustration.
People are running you down, aren't they?
They're not up
to your expectations?
Why can't they be
as sublime as my daughter?
[Chrysalis] You're right.
The world would be sublime
if people could be
better versions of themselves.
Like your daughter.
I can give you the power
to make everything better, you know.
Only if you agree, of course.
That'd be the best thing
that could happen to me!
[Chrysalis]
And what should I call you?
Sublimation.
- I know why you're hiding.
- [gulps]
But I'm going to help you
surpass your fear
so you can carry on
with your mission.
- [groans]
- [Mom] Be better!
- [Mom groans]
- [man yelps]
Yeah, let's resume the race!
Let's go on with the trial.
Well, now someone actually
has been akumatized.
Don't worry, I'll protect you.
How dare you pretend
you're protecting my daughter
when you destroyed her trial?
Caroline.
Take a good look at me, sweetheart.
Thanks to Sublimation,
Ladybug is finally about
to become a better superhero.
I'm sincerely sorry. It was
an unfortunate misunderstanding,
but please reject the akuma
and I promise I'll fix everything.
If you're really as perfect
as you pretend to be
why are you afraid
of being sublimed?
I don't trust people under the influence
of the Butterfly Miraculous holder.
You're wasting my time, Ladybug.
Maybe you don't want to be sublime
but at least fix the problems
you have caused.
[Marinette groans, yells]
[Dad] Can't you see
you're scaring everyone?
My dear ex-husband. Thanks to me
you're finally about to turn into
a much better version of yourself.
- Be better!
- [zaps]
[Dad] I know you're strong
and you don't need mine or anyone's help.
- You can do this, sweetie.
- Now you're talking.
Now all we need is a sponsor
for things to be absolutely sublime!
[grunts]
Don't not leave until
you've seen Sublime's talent.
Too late. I already told you, time is--
Have you ever heard
of generosity, Bob?
Hey, I will not be insulted.
[Mom grunts]
Ladybug! You again.
Have you figured out how to fix
my daughter's prosthesis that you broke?
No, but I I'm sorry.
It was a mistake.
[grunts]
You're keeping my daughter
from securing a sponsor, Ladybug.
Is this what superheroes
do in Paris?
Hm.
Grr!
- [screams]
- [grunts]
[Marinette grunts]
[intense music playing]
- Here is Sublime's homework.
- Oh, she thanks you, sir.
[panting]
Come on, it's snack time.
No, it's time to help Ladybug.
Plagg, claws out!
[yells, grunts]
- [crashes]
- Drive!
[Mom chuckles]
- [driver grunts]
- You are not running away.
I'm firing you!
- [Mom grunts]
- [Mr. Roth] Yow! Oh!
Be better!
[grunting]
[Mr. Roth grunts]
Cat Noir, you too want to stop
me from making people better?
- [Mr. Roth grunts]
- What's she talking about?
Sublimation makes people better
by touching them.
[Mr. Roth grunts]
Are you sure
she's a supervillain?
Well, she hasn't destroyed
anything so far.
And to be honest,
you can't be mad at her
for trying to make Bob a better person.
Right, Bob?
Your job is to protect
the wealthy Parisians like myself.
That's what you're paid for!
Ho-ho, we're being paid, Milady?
No, we're not. We protect everyone
for free.
Ha-ha!
Then you're being exploited.
No, we're volunteers, Bob.
How ridiculous.
Hide him where Sublimation
won't find him.
You got it. [grunts]
[Mom grunts]
[grunts]
Oh, why'd you put me in here?
Maybe it's 'cause
your attitude stinks.
[grunting]
Ladybug and Cat Noir can't bear
when someone's better than them.
They're not worthy
of their Miraculous.
You should seize them.
What d'you say?
Sublime idea!
- Ha!
- Oh!
Now it's you against us.
You should be ashamed
of protecting
a scoundrel like Bob Roth.
You have no right to decide
for others how they behave.
You're jealous of my power because I can
actually turn villains into good people.
Huh?
Lucky charm!
[intense music playing]
[grunts]
What plan are we rolling with, Milady?
- I I don't know.
- [grunting]
Your power is just like you,
Ladybug. Useless.
Don't listen to her. She's wrong.
No, I'm not, unless her power
is to shatter people's dreams
- like she did my daughter's.
- What's she talking about, Milady?
It was an accident.
There must be a better version
of yourself, Ladybug.
Don't you wanna know?
Everyone's allowed to make mistakes,
and honestly, I don't see how there could
be a better version of you, Milady.
Do you really mean it, Cat Noir?
I never lie.
She's powerless against you.
Whoa!
Milady, what are you--
Now you're becoming reasonable,
Ladybug. Be better!
[grunts]
You are now sublimed!
Be better!
[grunts, sighs]
[Lila] Don't forget about
their Miraculous.
- [Marinette grunts]
- Wow, I told you, Milady. [exclaims]
You too are the best version
of yourself, kitty-cat.
- I know.
- And the most modest.
[grunting]
[Chrysalis] It's not over.
[gasps]
[grunts]
[gasps] I've lost my powers.
Ooh, what are these?
Antikumas.
[yelps]
Huh, no!
- [shatters]
- [Caroline groans]
[Marinette] No more evil-doing
for you, Ultrakuma.
[triumphant music playing]
Time to de-evilize.
Gotcha!
Bye-bye, little butterfly.
[groaning] What happened?
Hmm?
And now you toss the lucky charm
into the air
and repair the damages
caused by the akumatized villain.
But Sublimation
hasn't caused any damage.
Huh?
She was indeed akumatized, but
[gasps]
But she wasn't the villain
the lucky charm was pointing at.
It was me
from the very beginning.
I sincerely apologize, Sublime.
If I hadn't shown up,
you would have finished your race.
Your prostheses would be intact
and your mom would never
have been akumatized.
Miraculous Ladybug
[Dad gasps]
- [Sublime gasps, sighs]
- [Dad laughs]
I hope you'll find
the best sponsor there is.
[all] Pound it!
Good luck on your trial.
[lively music playing]
[gasps]
Wow! Best performance of the year!
Congrats! Your daughter is gonna
make me a lot of money. Hmm?
However, you'll have to figure out a way
to add shoes to these
or we won't have sneakers to sell.
You can't wear shoes
with the blades.
Figure it out, then.
- [groans]
- [Sublime] Dad, Mom.
It's okay.
There must be other sponsors.
Our daughter is right.
We want a relationship with a sponsor
based on respect.
Well said, Severin.
Then good luck finding
respect and money.
I myself have never come
across them together.
- Huh.
- Hmm.
Hmm.
[gasps]
I'm sorry, Sublime. I should
have come talked to you.
I was afraid
I wasn't good enough.
- I hope you'll forgive me.
- [Sublime] Apology accepted.
I know what it's like
to put pressure on yourself.
Is it true?
You want to be my friend?
- How did you know?
- [Sublime] Adrien told me.
Uh, then you two talk
while you're running?
Not while we're running.
It impacts the breathing.
But outside of that,
of course Adrien and I talk.
Oh, you must think
I'm ridiculous.
Hardly.
But if we're gonna be friends,
we'll need to get to know each other.
We'll talk about
whatever you want.
Just promise me
not to pull my leg.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
It's a joke, Marinette.
You can laugh. It's all good.
[both laugh]
Thanks again, Mrs. Tsurugi.
We couldn't have hoped for a better
sponsor than you for our Sublime.
Don't thank me, I know what it's like
to live with a disability.
Sometimes technology
can help us work wonders.
