Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (2015) s06e09 Episode Script

1
- [somber music playing]
- [Cat Noir] M'lady, look.
That boy is saying goodbye to his family.
- He's leaving his entire life behind.
- [Ladybug] There's no other way, Kitty.
Luka Couphène knows our secret identities.
Are we really sure about that?
- Has he told you who you are?
- [sighs sadly] Yes.
What about me?
Did he tell you who I really am?
Of course not.
I can never know who you are,
just like you can never know who I am.
What if he's wrong about me?
[melancholy music playing]
[Cat Noir grunts]
- [Cat Noir] Claws in.
- [chimes]
Hey, wait! Don't go, Luka!
- I have to go.
- Maybe you don't.
You say you know Ladybug
and Cat Noir's secret identities,
but how can you be sure?
Maybe you're wrong,
and you're leaving for Brazil
over nothing.
- [grunts softly]
- If I stay,
I'll only make it harder for Monarch
to be defeated by Ladybug.
- And you.
- [gasps]
[distant plane engine whirring]
- Hey. You're not allowed to be here.
- Luka, wait!
I have faith in you both, Adrien.
I'll be back soon.
[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.

[Gabriel] Remember
your promise, Marinette.
[Marinette panting] Adrien?
[gasps]
Ladybug, can you explain
what really happened?
[overlapping speech]
- [Gabriel] Marinette!
- [whimpers and sighs]
[Luka] You know you can
tell me anything, Marinette.
I don't know
how much longer I can do this.
I lied to everyone, Luka.
I told them that
Gabriel Agreste was a hero,
but the truth is, he was the supervillain.
He was Monarch.
- [Adrien] What?
- [gasps]
My father was Monarch?
How could you hide this
from me, Marinette?
- [tense music playing]
- [Adrien] You lied to me!
- You and I are over!
- [Marinette] No!
[shouts, grunts]
[panting]
- Another nightmare, Marinette?
- [groans]
Uh, not at all, I slept like a log.
I feel completely evilized.
- I mean energized.
- [Tikki groans]
Are you really sure you're okay?
It's fine. It'll be fine.
It's all gonna be wrong.
I mean, all right. Hmm?
[chuckles softly, kisses]
[Nathalie] Is everything okay, Adrien?
You only ate the cheese.
[Adrien] I'm not that hungry, Nathalie.
[Nathalie] I understand.
This morning's meeting
is bound to bring up painful memories.
I can go alone if you want.
Nathalie, I'm his son. I have to go.
Besides, Marinette will be
there to support me.
Hmm.
Give Adrien a big kiss from me, okay?
Sure, and many more from Monarch.
I mean, from me. [kisses]
- Bye, Mom. De-evilize you later.
- Huh?
See you later. Love you.
[Tom humming]
- Say hi to Adrien for me.
- [kisses]
Thanks for the chouquettes, Sentidad.
I mean, superdad.
- [Tom] See you tonight, sweetheart.
- [door opens, closes]
Marinette, maybe you should consider
telling Adrien the truth about his father.
It's eating away at you.
No, I promised Monarch
I mean, Gabriel Agreste
that I would say nothing.
If you keep mixing up your words,
you'll end up telling him
everything by accident.
You're right, Tikki. I have to focus.
But don't worry. I got this.
- [Gabriel on recording] Knock, knock.
- [Adrien] Who's there?
- Papa.
- [Adrien] Papa who?
Papa Corn.
What's wrong, Adrien?
You're as pale as a Camembert rind.
I'm Cat Noir.
I was supposed to stop Monarch,
but instead my father
sacrificed himself to defeat him.
I can't believe he and the hero
who saved the world are the same person.
It's like I'm missing something key here
to understand, like, who he really was.
Ladybug already told you
how it went down, didn't she?
Yes, but I can feel
she's not telling me everything.
If only I'd been there
when she faced Monarch.
Hold on, Plagg. You were there.
You can tell me what really happened.
I was there. I was there.
[hesitates] I was inside
the Black Cat ring,
in a magical-energy state,
kind of like cheese in a fondue pot.
Needless to say, things were a bit blurry.
- [knocking at door]
- [Plagg] Hmm? [yelps]
- Come in.
- Delivery of chouquettes and Marinette.
- [Adien] Just what I needed.
- Are you talking about me
- or the chouquettes?
- [laughs, kisses]
Are you ready to deceive? I mean, leave.
I am now that you're here.
- Mmm. [munching]
- [groans softly]
This is the proposal
selected by the city of Paris to replace
the vandalized statue
honoring Gabriel Agreste.
Similar to the previous proposal,
this statue will be financed
by Mrs. Tsurugi, and Théo Barbot
will be in charge
of creating the sculpture.
Upon reconsideration, the first statue
at the Place des Vosges Square
didn't do justice
to your father's presence.
This one will be erected
right outside City Hall
and will be more than 10 meters high.
10 meters? That sounds
pretty high, don't you think?
Of course not. Nothing's too high
to illustrate the greatness
of your father, Adrien,
a man who was able to combine
talent, presence, and courage.
- You knew my father?
- Of course.
I worked with him on several occasions.
He was like a mentor to me.
A man who defeated evil and poor taste
with his nimble fingers, a man who
Who tried to stop me
from loving Marinette.
- [gasps softly]
- I'm sorry?
My father might have been a hero,
but I think you're seeing him
as greater than he really was.
[Théo gasps]
Your moth Dad.
Your dad did save Ladybug.
Don't you remember the taste
of his pancakes, Marinette?
As dry and rigid as him.
Are you telling me
that he was also a good cook?
Such a model father.
I'm sorry. I need to think about it.
- [lilting music playing]
- [Marinette] Oh
What about my statue? All good?
You agree to it?
We will get back to you with our answer.
[Marinette] Wait up! [panting]
Adrien, what's going on?
[Adrien] Marinette, you knew my father.
Can you believe that
he could have been both the man
who saved Paris and the man
who tried to keep us
from loving each other?
I'm sure he loved you, in his own way.
Even though I loved him too,
I can't just forget the harm he caused us.
And now hearing the way
everyone talks about him,
I feel like they're talking
about someone else.
I refuse to see him
the way everyone else does.
Does that make me a bad son?
No, of course not.
You've done nothing wrong.
If only I'd been there,
maybe I could have saved him.
There's nothing you could have done.
How do you know that?
Neither of us were there.
- Adrien, I
- Let's go home, Adrien.
[both sigh]
[ominous music playing]
- [kisses]
- If you want, I can cancel my liar lesson.
I mean, guitar lesson.
No, no, go ahead. Say hi to Luka for me.
[Marinette sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
[panting] I can't take it anymore.
We have to tell Adrien the truth.
- Have you lost your mind?
- [Marinette grunts]
You want to tell him that you're Ladybug.
What do you mean?
Only Ladybug would know
that Gabriel Agreste was Monarch,
not Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
Well, I could tell him
everything as Ladybug.
And let him figure out that I was
Monarch's accomplice?
We have determined a truth.
We're sticking to it.
You need to grin and bear it, Marinette.
It's too late to go back.
- Everything okay, Nathalie?
- Yes.
Marinette simply thought
she lost the keys to her scooter.
Mmm-hmm.
- [playing off-key]
- [grunts]
[Luka over screen] Try strumming
the string with your fingers.
You don't need to hit them.
I swear I sounded better
when I practiced yesterday.
I'll akumatize again
Try again! I'll try again.
Bom dia, Marinette. How are you?
Hey, Irupé. Todo bem.
Things are great. Why wouldn't they be?
[laughing nervously]
I'm going for a swim.
[Luka chuckles softly]
You two make such a cute couple.
There's clearly a Monarch.
Monarch?
A spark. I meant there's a spark.
You can talk to me if something's wrong,
you know, Marinette?
[sighs] No. That's the thing.
I can't tell you. [grumbles]
Unless Of course.
I could totally tell you.
I'll be right there.
What? Like, now?
- In Brazil?
- Yes.
I'll be there in an hour and 14 minutes.
Don't go anywhere. I'm on my way.
[Irupé] Shall we get breakfast?
I could go for a big açaí bowl.
Uh, no, thank you.
I'd rather be alone for a while.
- [playing solemn guitar music]
- [waves lapping]
Luka, I agreed
to be your pretend girlfriend
to put up the pretense,
but if it's hurting you,
don't you think it would be easier
if you just told Marinette the truth?
[Luka] I already tried.
And how did it go?
[Luka] I'm sorry. I can't accept it.
What? But you're the only one
I can entrust with it.
I'm heading back to Brazil, Marinette.
But Monarch's been defeated,
there's no need to
There's a new butterfly villain.
I don't want to risk being akumatized
and revealing your
and Cat Noir's secret identities.
This is crazy.
Why would you get akumatized?
[sighs]
Sass, scales, slither.
- What are you doing?
- Marinette, the truth is
I'm not leaving because
of the new butterfly villain.
But then why are you leaving?
You and Adrien finally listened
to your inner melodies,
and today they're forming
a beautiful symphony.
I'm happy for you two,
but I'm still in love with you, Marinette.
You're so radiant, so strong.
How could I stop loving you?
If I stay, I'm scared this pain
will turn the joy I feel about
seeing you together into jealousy
and ruin our friendship.
That's why I'm leaving.
Luka
It's gonna be hard being away from you.
Please stay. Adrien and I will make sure
not to be too close
when you're around.
Just please, don't go.
I apologize in advance
for what I'm about to do.
What are you about to do?
I'm about to lie to you
for the good of the three of us.
- [Miraculous ticking]
- No. Don't do this.
[whirring]
Then why are you leaving?
Because I've met
an awesome girl in Brazil.
You have? That's amazing.
I'll be your friend forever, Marinette.
- You can always count on me.
- [chuckles softly]
[Irupé] Luka, what did you tell Marinette?
I couldn't bring myself
to tell her anything.
[sighs] I'm sure
you'll get there eventually.
[music ends]
- [typing]
- [knocking at door]
Hmm?
Nathalie, I've thought about it,
and I think I'd feel more comfortable
if there were no statue.
Understood. I'll take care of it, Adrien.
[line ringing]
Hello? Madam Mayor?
[waves splashing]
[Ladybug grunts] Power down.
[dramatic music playing]
Did something bad happen, guardian?
No, Sass. I just need you
to lend me your Miraculous
for a moment, Luka, please.
[Luka groans softly]
Tikki, Sass, unify.
- [Miraculous ticking]
- Marinette, tell me what's going on.
Luka, I lied to the entire world.
Adrien's father wasn't a hero.
He was Monarch.
[Ladybug] He made me swear
that I wouldn't say a thing
so that Adrien would think well of him
in order to protect him,
but now because of that
I'm having to lie to everyone.
Why did you do that?
Because I love Adrien more than anything,
and he'd be in so much pain
if he ever found out.
He could get akumatized by the new holder
of the Butterfly Miraculous,
and I'll never, ever,
ever let anyone hurt him.
I have to keep this promise
and hide the truth from him,
even if it burns my lips and my heart
every day until the end of time.
Do you think I did the right thing?
I don't know, Marinette. I
I'm gonna ask you something
you'll probably find very strange, but
Please, let me borrow your Miraculous.
What? Why?
I know things that you don't,
and I'm probably the only one
who can fix this.
- Give me your earrings.
- No No.
Tell me what you're gonna do,
and I'll take care of it myself.
Marinette, I love you.
You're the strongest person I've ever met,
but this time I'm the one
who needs to protect you.
- You have to trust me.
- I'm sorry.
I never should have told you anything.
No. You don't understand. Give me your
[whirring]
- Marinette, tell me what's going on.
- [panting]
- [Ladybug] Divide.
- [uplifting music playing]
Be happy with Irupé. Please.
You came all the way here
just to tell me that?
Yes, and that
you must never worry about me.
- Okay?
- Mmm. [chuckles softly]
What? But how can he refuse
to have a statue of his own father,
a worldwide hero?
He probably isn't ready yet.
We need to give him time to grieve.
[grumbles] Such an unworthy son.
He doesn't recognize
his own father's talent.
He doesn't recognize his legacy.
[ominous music playing]
[electric static]
[Chrysalis] Hello, forgive my intrusion,
but your anger was so great
that it called out to me.
Is someone keeping you
from honoring the great man,
Gabriel Agreste?
Yes. His ungrateful son, Adrien.
I propose we teach Adrien
a valuable lesson.
It would be my honor.
And what should I call you?
I have something in mind,
but I wouldn't dare.
- Please, do.
- In that case, call me Mister Agreste.
[warbling]
Adrien!
[Tikki] I win. [laughs]
- [thumping]
- Adrien!
Correct me if I'm wrong,
but didn't you just turn down
the building of this statue?
[sinister music playing]
[Tikki whimpers]
Time to say the magic words,
- don't you think?
- [Nathalie] Adrien!
- Get to safety!
- [all grunting]
[Mister Agreste] Adrien,
I'm bringing you back to City Hall.
You're going to agree
to the building of my statue
and recognize my brilliance!
[Nathalie grunts]
Nathalie!
Nathalie's in danger. Plagg, claws out.
[heroic music playing]
- Cataclysm!
- [powering up]
- [Cat Noir grunts]
- [both breathing heavily]
Adrien is still inside.
I'll take care of him. Get to safety.
[grunting]
[Chrysalis] Seize Cat Noir's Miraculous.
You'll bring it back to me,
and I'll explain how
you can use it to make a wish
to bring Gabriel Agreste back,
for example.
What? I can do that?
You wanna stop me from playing my role
as a father, Cat?
You're
You're no one's father!
[Mister Agreste grunting]
[Cat Noir] Cataclysm!
You're just a giant talking statue!
Who are you to judge me,
you tiny, insignificant creature?
[grunts]
[grunts]
[gasps] Cataclysm!
Oh, no! I'm sorry!
I didn't mean to cataclysm you!
Did you just try to destroy me, huh?
It really is just a statue.
Whoever this akumatized villain is,
he's hiding inside.
Cataclysm!
[grunts]
[Mister Agreste] If you want to be spared,
help me find the Agreste son.
Never! [grunts]
[yells]
[grunting]
I could really use a helping paw
right now, M'lady.
[device trilling]
[grunting]
No one will stand between me and my son.
[grunts]
[grunts] Cataclysm!
[groans]
[Chrysalis] Now, seize his Miraculous.
[Cat Noir groaning]
- [gasps] No!
- [Chrysalis] Clear away the rubble.
I want to see who was hiding
beneath the mask.
[shouting]
[grumbles]
[Ladybug grunts]
[gasps] Mister Agreste?
[Chrysalis] Put the Miraculous
somewhere safe.
[gasps] What did you do to Cat Noir?
She's vulnerable without her partner.
- This is your chance!
- [Mister Agreste chuckles]
[grunting]
[cackling]
[Mister Agreste grunts]
[chuckles manically]
[gasps]
[grunting]
[Mister Agreste chuckles, growls]
Huh? Is he invincible or something?
Lucky Charm!
Hmm? [chuckles nervously]
Lucky Charm!
Hmm?
Lucky Charm!
What am I supposed to do
with all these? [shouts]
[Chrysalis] Go ahead,
take off her earrings.
I wanna see who Ladybug is.
- Ah.
- No! No!
Huh?
[straining]
- Leave her alone!
- [Mister Agreste] Hmm?
[Adrien breathing heavily]
- [metal clanging]
- Adrien!
[Chrysalis] Who cares?
Seize Ladybug's earrings now.
First, I have to talk some sense
into this unworthy son.
[Chrysalis] Education first, I understand,
but remember that we have a deal.
Huh?
If you were such a good father,
then why didn't you want me
to have any friends?
Huh? You don't know what you're saying,
you ungrateful son.
Of course. How did I not
figure it out sooner?
Adrien Agreste!
Use the megaphone on the ground!
Why did you want to control my every move?
- What are you talking about?
- Why were you always traveling
around the world instead of staying
with Mom while she was sick?
Why didn't you want me
to meet my grandparents?
I I didn't He couldn't be like that.
Why didn't you want me
to go to school like everyone else?
Why didn't you want me
to be in love with Marinette?
You're lying.
You're talking nonsense.
Why did you stop being Papa Corn
and become this!
A cold
heartless
statue!
[thuds]
- [Théo yelling]
- [Ladybug grunting]
- Miraculous Ladybug!
- [chimes]
What have I done?
[Ladybug] Sometimes,
it's better to put ideas
rather than people on a pedestal,
for you never truly know someone.
This magical charm
will help you remember that.
[enchanting music playing]
[chuckles softly]
You know what you have to do.
Hurry and take it back to Cat Noir.
[Plagg] Mmm-hmm.
[Ladybug] Hmm?
Thank you, Adrien.
You've shown a great deal of courage,
and I wouldn't have made it without you.
[both] Pound it.
[Ladybug grunts]
[Cat Noir] Good thing
you were there, M'lady.
I wasn't at the top of my game today.
That's why we're always here
for each other, Kitty Cat.
[chuckles softly]
[Cat Noir] Claws in.
At least you got to tell
that statue how you feel.
It won't bring my father back,
and it won't help me
figure out who he was either.
I guess I'm gonna have to live
with unanswered questions.
[Plagg sighs]
Spots off.
[line ringing]
I saw what happened
at your place, are you okay?
Everything's back in order, Marinette.
I'm fine, thank you.
Are you sure? I mean,
seeing your father again,
- it must have been
- He was just an akumatized villain.
I'm going to be fine, really.
Okay. Then, goodnight.
Goodnight, Marinette.
At least you're no longer mixing up
your words, Marinette.
I don't have a choice.
Either I keep it together
or everything will fall apart.
Nathalie was right.
It's too late to go back now.
[melancholy music playing]
[Ladybug grunts] Power down.
[tense music playing]
Luka knows Ladybug?
Do you think he holds a Miraculous?
I don't know, Maino'ii,
but Luka definitely loves having secrets.
[ominous music playing]
