[Marinette sighs]

Some days, everything's just perfect.

That's what I call a day spent with you.

[message notification] Hm?

Something wrong? - It's from Nathalie.

Someone wants to meet with me

To talk about my father's legacy.

Oh, here I am talking about how great everything is

When you're dealing with so much, I'm so sorry.

Don't worry about it, Marinette. I get sad

When I think about my parents no longer being here obviously,

But I'm also ready to move on.

[smooch] And I'm here for you.

Hey, how about some ice cream to make this perfect day

Even more perfect?

[groan]

Is there something wrong, Marinette?

No, no, everything's great actually.

Sure, I lied to Adrien by not telling him

That his father was a supervillain,

But it was only to protect him,

And since I've handed out every Miraculous,

Paris has never been quieter,

So maybe I'm actually doing something...

Right?

[♪ music fades]

[♪ theme song playing]

[Marinette voiceover] 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

'cause I've got a secret.

[♪ electronic dance music]

Now anyone can grow their own food in Paris.

All public transport in Paris is free of charge.

People wanna understand how the world works.

Since she became mayor, Ms. Bustier has established

A youth council. Now everyone in Paris has a voice.

What we've done here in Paris can be done

Anywhere in the world, just don't give up,

And remember to cultivate joy.

It's joy that gives us the energy to fight.

[cheers] [♪ music fades]

[Scepter] How many views did it get?

[Truth] Several billions.

[Stomach] This is dangerous for our business.

[Beyond] It's worse than dangerous.

It's out of control.

[Scepter] Then it's up to us to regain control.

[♪ dark music]

[laughter]

[applause and cheers]

[Marinette] Congratulations, Mr. Haprele.

Yes, it was really amazing.

Fred, my man, it's been a minute.

What are you doing here? Does your favorite agent

Need an excuse to visit her future superstar?

Listen, Fred, your acting career is finally about to explode.

I've just seen the role for you.

I don't think so, I'm done chasing after the big time.

I'd rather have smaller roles and still be here

To take care of my family. - Dad!

I'm old enough to manage on my own.

Besides, if being in the movies makes you happy,

It makes me happy too.

Guess there's no harm in auditioning. What film is it?

That's top-secret information, but there's one thing I know.

It could be for the role of a lifetime.

Ah!

[♪ tense music] Huh...

[Manon] Are you babysitting me too tonight?

We could play House! You'd be the daddy,

And Marinette would be... - Okay, yes, yeah!

I think we get the idea. I'd be happy to

Another time, Manon, but right now

I have an important meeting,

Not very fun grown-up stuff.

[groan] Call me if you need me, okay?

Promise? - I promise.

[♪ upbeat music]

[Manon] Being a grown-up doesn't sound fun at all.

Next question, Ms. Manon. Who is the anchor

On the news channel? - Easy, it's Mommy!

[giggling]

[slow reading] "Who is the...

Most famous... Fashion...

Designer in Paris?"

Hey! You're not even listening!

Uh, yes, I am! [nervous laughter]

You asked who the most famous fashion designer in Paris is.

You keep checking your phone while we're playing.

Sorry, Manon, it's because I'm worried

About Adrien. [phone vibrates]

Adrien, is everything okay? Oh, um, hi, Nadja.

I'm sorry, Marinette. We're running a bit late.

Yes, I understand. Don't worry.

I don't mind. [beep]

That was your mommy. She'll be coming to get you

A little later than expected, but that means

More time for us to play, right?

[Manon] Yeah! And I get to have the same bedtime as grown-ups!

See? There are some fun things about being a grown-up.

Hello. Fred Haprele.

[Noe] As you can see, the Agreste brand

Would be joining our group. It would be the jewel

At our core. Dear Adrien, your father

Was my role model.

His demise has devastated me,

So I can only imagine your grief, but I know how much

The fashion world weighed on you. If you did me the honor

Of selling me the brand, I would make it

My utmost duty to assume responsibility

For his legacy.

[♪ tense music]

Thank you. What do you think, Nathalie?

Hm, I think this is...

[hesitating] an opportunity that deserves some thought.

[Mullo] Why are you walking around in circles?

[Mylene] Dad is still not home!

So, walking around in circles

Is good for...? - Nothing!

But dinner is cooked and on the table,

And since I don't know what else to do,

I'm thinking, and thinking gets me worried,

And worrying makes me scared, so I need to do something

So I don't realize that I'm scared,

But I can't come up with anything

So I'm walking around in circles.

[door opens] Dad?

[♪ forlorn music]

[slam] [Fred] It's a disaster!

A complete disaster!

See? Because...

I'm gonna have to read this huge script!

Whoa, so that means you got the part?

I already signed the contract. Can you believe it?

Jean informed me it's a common practice

With these kinds of projects. They're so scared of people

Leaking the story, so no contract means no script.

I wish I could have talked it over with you first,

As this affects the whole of our family, but...

[Mylene] Don't worry, I'm so happy that you're happy.

I'm just... Sorry you had to pause your career

For so long to take care of me. - No role can compare

To the precious moments you and I have shared.

I just wish I could have figured it out earlier.

I'll never make up for the time I spent away from you

And your mother when you were little.

If Mom were still here, she'd be proud of you

For the role and for being a super dad.

[♪ touching music] Hm?

Sometimes I feel like she's right here with us.

Don't you? - Mhm.

"Which superhero holds the Miraculous of Illusion?"

Hm... [phone vibrates]

Ah! [slam]

First, answer the question!

Rena Rouge! It's Rena Rouge! - Correct!

Adrien! How'd it go?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

Can I come over? [Manon] Yes! Come over

So Marinette stops checking her phone all the time!

Of course you can come over.

Is everything okay?

[hesitating] Yeah, I think so.

So, who would you be playing?

A journalist who fights to expose the truth.

Shall we read this together? - Mhm.

Ladybug's Secret.

'Based on real-life events'?

Intriguing. Do you know who wrote the script?

No, I don't. - Top secret too.

[♪ intriguing music]

[Muffles shout]

Argh! This is horrible!

It can't be based on real-life events!

Don't worry, sweetie. There must be some mistake.

I was told this was an inspiring superhero story,

But this, this is nonsense.

We can't tell these lies to the audience.

Oh, well, I don't know about that.

I didn't read the script. Besides, who cares

About the story as long as there's amazing special FX!

I care! And so will the audience who'll see this!

Fred, you know what I think about moral convictions.

They're like uncomfortable seats.

You just gotta forget about them

If you want to enjoy the movie.

I am not acting in this movie.

[Sarah] You can't say no. You signed the contract, buddy.

Welcome to the adult world! [beep]

[whimper]

They trapped me with the contract.

Hm, not if the film isn't made.

[♪ rock theme]

On one hand, I'd be relieved to move on,

But on the other, a little voice is whispering to me

That this is all going too fast.

You don't need to give an answer right away, do you?

No. - Then take your time.

Who is the hero who defeated the evil Monarch?

[♪ tense music] [phone vibrates]

No way! First, we play!

So, who defeated Monarch?

[phone vibrating]

It was my father, Gabriel Agreste.

Correct, hehe!

Marinette, Nadja Chamack pick up Manon already?

No, not yet. I have something important

To show Nadja. Can I come over?

[applause] I love movies!

[♪ tense music]

"Outside, alley way, night.

The journalist is hiding.

All he can see are Ladybug, Cat Noir,

And Hawk Moth's giant shadows

Dancing on the walls. Ladybug says..."

[Mylene]"Thanks to your fearmongering, Hawk Moth,

The Parisians have put their trust in Cat Noir and me."

[Fred]"My pleasure! When people are scared,

It's easier to manipulate them!"

But Mommy, aren't Cat Noir and Ladybug

The good guys? - They are, sweetheart.

Don't worry, it's just a made-up story.

Who wrote that script?

We don't know, and everything's like this.

Inside Gabriel Agreste's study. Night.

The journalist tells Gabriel Agreste...

[Fred]"No one will believe me if I say that Ladybug

And Cat Noir are Hawk Moth's allies.

This is why I need a powerful ally, someone whose word

Is respected by all, you, Mr. Agreste!"

[Mylene] Gabriel Agreste replies...

"I will support you. You can count on me."

Now the worst one.

Ladybug and Cat Noir walk over to the journalist

Cornered against a wall. Next to them,

We see ash statues of Gabriel Agreste and Hawk Moth.

Ladybug threatens the journalist,

"The world will never know the truth

Because there will be no one to tell it!"

[Fred]"I'll never be silenced!"

[Mylene]"Cat Noir, you're up." - [Fred] Cat Noir

Calls up his Cataclysm and puts his hand on the ground,

Which opens up under the journalist's feet,

Swallowing him up. Luckily, the brave journalist

Has already sent his article to the film director,

Who turned it into a movie, the movie you've just seen.

If I were Ladybug, I'd be outraged.

If I were Cat Noir, I'd wanna Cataclysm that script.

No one will believe it's true. Honey, it's just a movie.

[Mylene] It's not just a movie. It's a lie

Disguised as the truth, and that's very dangerous.

Nadja, people should know. They should lobby

To prevent this shameful film from ever happening.

Could you report about it in your program?

[♪ tense music] Hm...

You're right!

Arlette! I have a huge scoop

For tonight's news.

[sigh] Yeah, yeah, great, Nadja.

Let me introduce our newest stockholder,

Noe Luxus.

I can't wait to hear about your scoop,

Ms. Chamack. [♪ music fades]

[♪ news intro music] It's time for Mommy's show!

[banana] Hey there, friends of fruits!

I'm your new anchorman, and believe me,

I only serve 'ap-peeling'news! [chuckle]

He's anything but an anchorman.

[gasps] Why are you here, Nadja?

They fired me.

You mean they refused to listen to you.

[banana] Ms. Bustier is suspected of having cheated

In the latest local elections.

Oh, my! Oh, my! Some fruit is rotten in Paris.

That's not true! The elections were held

With total transparency.

[banana] Here to comment on this segment is Noe Luxus,

New star of luxury business and a great lover of Paris.

Mr. Luxus, you're cool as a cucumber

For showing up tonight. What are your thoughts on this news?

I am devastated. Ms. Bustier was the embodiment

Of so much hope. If this accusation

Turns out to be true, I commit

To running for mayor of Paris so its people

Can regain faith for the future.

[banana] Finally some peachy news!

That's the man who wants to buy my father's brand!

Looks like he also owns the company

That's producing this movie.

So, he's responsible

For that script full of lies!

[shudder] Are you okay?

It's like everything we built together is collapsing,

Like an ultra-powerful force is taking control

Over everything again!

And there's nothing we can do about it!

There's nothing I can do about it!

[Marinette] We can find a solution!

Sweetie, it's me. You don't have to bear the weight

Of this alone, I'm here. We're all with you.

[Mullo] You're feeling powerless, but surely there's something

You can do if you can just calm down first.

Breathe in and out.

[Mylene] I can't do it, Mullo!

That enemy is just too strong!

[whimpering] Too strong for me.

[♪ dark music]

[Chrysalis] Hello, forgive my intrusion,

But your anguish was so deep

That it called out to me. - No!

I'll never listen to you! Go! Leave me alone!

[Fred gasps]

[sigh]

I'm going to talk to that guy, Noe Luxus.

No one chases hope out of my little girl's heart.

[Marinette gasps]

[♪ suspenseful music]

[gasp] I'll go with him!

He might need help. - [Adrien] I'm coming with you!

Ow! - Are you okay, Marinette?

I'll be fine. Go on, Adrien. Catch up with Fred.

That's what's most important right now.

[♪ rock theme]

Ugh! I hate lying to Adrien.

Tikki, Spots On!

[zap]

[Chrysalis] Hello, forgive my intrusion,

But your anger was so fierce

That it called out to me.

I don't need you! I just want to talk to Noe Luxus

And get him to see that he's wrong.

What would my daughter think of me

If I gave into anger?

What would your daughter think if you were unsuccessful?

He'll listen to me, I'll find the right words.

It's commendable of you to want to talk things out,

But you know as well as I do when the power you're facing

Is too great, words are useless.

I can give you the power to make your actions

Speak for themselves.

Only if you agree, of course. - [Fred] You're right.

What should I call you? - The Mime.

[engine revving]

[rubber screeching]

[gasp]

[whimpering]

[♪ rock theme]

[♪ suspenseful music]

[Cat Noir shouts]

[door opens]

[thud] [Cat Noir groans]

[Ladybug] Cat got your tongue? - Seeing you tends

To make me speechless, M'Lady.

You can always reach out if you have any issues.

[blast] [all shout]

[banana] Ah! This banana's gonna split!

[blade rasps] Who are you?

What do you want? [alarm]

[whooshes]

[trilling]

[whoosh]

Watch out for'un-mimed'flying objects!

[engine revving]

Seems like he cares a great deal about his hat.

The Ultrakuma must be inside!

[♪ tense music]

[beeps] [door opens]

[Chrysalis] Good thinking, Mime. Ladybug and Cat Noir

Will never find your hiding place,

But you will have every opportunity

To seize their Miraculous.

[engine revvs]

[♪ suspenseful music]

[blade rasping]

[screeching]

[engine idling]

[ignition starts]

[Ladybug] There he is!

Is he mad at black cars or something?

He's probably looking for someone who's inside

A similar-looking car.

Let's sandwich him!

[grunt]

[Cat Noir] So, Mime, who is it you're looking for?

Where'd his hat go? [Cat Noir] I dunno,

But I guarantee he won't tell us where he hid it.

[chain sawing]

[reeling]

Wait, we need a strategy.

Without the Mime's hat, we can't de-akumatize him.

So, we have to make him de-akumatize himself.

And to do that, we need to help him speak his mind

To the person he's looking for.

A. K. A. The person who's in one of the black cars,

But how can we find the car before the Mime does?

We're gonna need some help.

[trilling]

[♪ magical music]

[beeping]

[beeping continues]

[beeping]

Aren't you going to transform?

[Mylene] This battle is too great for me, Mullo.

You get worried when you feel powerless,

But this is your chance to do something.

Your father needs you.

[Ivan] Mylene, talk to me.

You know that I'm here for you.

I'll be okay, teddy bear!

I just need to be alone for a while,

But I'll call you later tonight.

[♪ action music] [sigh]

Mylene's feeling better, so Stompp, Make Way!

Mullo, Get Squeaky!

[chimes]

[reeling]

[bell ringing]

[metal groaning]

[blade rasps]

Lucky Charm!

Cataclysm!

[Ladybug] Fun and games until

Your hands are tied, Mime.

Polymouse, we've gotta find the Mime's target.

They're in a black car with a logo on it.

We don't know which car. - Got it.

Can you lift me up, Cat Noir?

Always happy to give a friend a lift!

Whoa!

Multitude!

[ringing]

[Polymouse] Target located!

We'll meet you at the TV tower.

[grunt]

We can begin shooting. - We're rolling.

[grumbling]

The script was telling the truth.

You are the villain's accomplices!

No, we only serve the truth.

And communication between people.

Haha! And how are you supposed to communicate

With a mime who won't talk?

He won't talk because he thinks talking is useless,

But if you're willing to listen to him,

Maybe everything will work out.

[Toro grunting]

Perhaps he'll listen to you.

[Polymouse] Multitude! [zap]

[grunting]

Dad, it's me.

I know how awful it is feeling powerless,

How unbearable it is watching your values

Get trampled. It petrified me earlier

And it made you angry. I understand.

With me you always found the right words

To comfort me when Mom was gone,

Reassure me when I feared I wasn't capable

Of fighting for a better world.

I know that vengeance is not your weapon, Dad.

[♪ touching music]

[blast]

[whirring] [zaps]

Where... Where am I?

[Ladybug] You fell victim to an akumatization.

I didn't mean to let my anger overwhelm me. I'm sorry.

But you managed to reject the Ultrakuma,

And now you have a chance to express yourself.

Paris is listening.

Hm, you tricked me with a contract

That would force me to be in a movie that makes Ladybug

And Cat Noir out to be villains.

You have a moral responsibility as a story producer

To tell the truth, which is that Ladybug and Cat Noir

Are real heroes, and if there's only one thing

You should remember, remember Ladybug and Cat Noir

Just saved you from my anger.

You're right, and I want to deeply apologize.

I too was duped by the script.

I will personally see to it that it is rewritten.

Cut! That's a wrap, thank you!

[Ladybug] Miraculous Ladybug!

[chimes]

[cop] Secure the perimeter!

[all] Pound it!

True facts at last, here's my newscast.

From now on, you'll find me here at the Zoo Network.

For my very first broadcast, I'm happy

To welcome Ms. Bustier. After an investigation

Proved that the elections were held lawfully, I'm so pleased

That you will remain the mayor of Paris.

Hey, Fred, I, uh, ended up reading the script

After all, it was horrible!

I'm really sorry I brought you into this mess.

How can I make up for it?

By finding him a genuinely good part?

Oh, yes! A new Master Mime show!

Some moments are just perfect, don't you think?

Almost perfect, your glass is empty.

[♪ tense music] [sigh]

[Tikki] You look worried, Marinette.

I wanted to believe that everything was fine,

But a new danger arose in Paris,

And even though it all ended well this time,

I don't think we're done with Noe Luxus.

A little voice is telling me to be very careful.

[♪ music ends]

[♪ haunting music]

It's done, Mother.

Now everyone in Paris knows who I am.

The next phase can begin.

You were brilliant, my diamond dear.
