04x22 - Kuro Neko

[bunniefuu]

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.

(Alarm)

Hmm.

Huh? Ding Ox. Fire and Yin.

Not so great.

Unless...

Mmm-hmm.

Hmm. There! This should

prevent negative energy

from flowing in.

There!

(Harmonious Chinese music)

Dim Sum Delight?

Yes, I'd like to make

a reservation.

For noon.

Two people.

(Takes deep breath)

(Yawning) Aaah!

-Oh...

-Morning, honey!

Did you study until late again?

(On TV)

The News with Nadja Chamack.

Last night,

Ladybug and Cat Noir

prevented the expl*si*n

of a turbine,

saving Paris from

drowning in rotten chocolate!

It's all lies! My chocolate

turbine was perfectly clean!

(Chuckles) Yeah,

lots of homework, Mom!

Will you start the laundry

please, honey?

-Your coffee, my love!

-Aw! Thanks,

my sweet honey bun!

My! You've grown again!

-Oh! Sorry!

-It's all right, sweetie!

Oh! Mom, my shoes

are getting too small.

-Could you buy me a new pair?

-What a good idea, honey!

Why not meet me

after my painting class?

Oh! Let's get some dim sum

before we go to the store!

Of course!

We interrupt our newscast

for a Sentimonster alert.

Lollipop Boy

has made a reappearance

-near Scipion Street Square.

-Ah! Oh, boy, oh, boy!

-I'm super late for class!

-Marinette, it's Saturday.

-There's no school today!

-Oh... right...

I meant late for Alya's.

We're doing a presentation.

You won't forget

to meet me at the end of class?

-I won't!

-And you won't forget

-to buy a ticket for the bus?

-Promise!

And you won't forget to change,

will you?

-What? Oh! Aaah!

-(Chuckles)

Your mom is amazing!

Even though she's so busy,

she always organizes

everything so well.

The exact opposite of me!

Do you realize?

I'm more than a month late

for Mother's Day!

I wanted to make her something,

but I barely had time

to get started on it.

It's such a bummer. Today

would've been the perfect time

to make it up to her.

Hang on!

What if I buy her a gift

before going to meet her?

Great idea, Marinette!

But first,

we've got to take care

of a Sentimonster!

Tikki, spots on!

The chouquettes for

your students are ready to go,

-my brilliant artist!

-Thanks, my love!

Chinese paintbrushes

are very different

from Western ones.

They allow you to easily master

the "five shades of ink,"

dry, concentrated, thick,

clear, and diluted.

If you use them well,

all these nuances can make up

all the colors,

texture and light

you need to represent the world.

-(Thud)

-(Screaming)

Cat Noir! Block his way!

Got it, Milady!

Those poor kids! They spent

the whole night saving Paris,

and are back in action!

Miraculous Ladybug!

I'm here.

I'm watching it right now.

Spots off!

Now I can go

meet up with my mom!

But, Marinette,

you can't go looking like that!

Aaah! I've gotta get back

to the house! Hide, Tikki!

Hmm? Hmm.

(Sighs)

It's Marinette!

Leave a message!

Beep! (Laughs)

Honey, it's Mom!

You have exactly

four chouquettes to show up!

Good day, sir!

May I put this here

while I look for my wallet?

-Oh! Wow! Chouquettes!

-A few left over from my class.

They're homemade. You'd be doing

me a favor by eating them.

As long as

it doesn't hold up the bus.

Oh, well, if I can be

of service to a commuter!

Mmm! Exquisite! Mmm!

Mmm! Delicious!

Oh, scrumptious!

-Mmm!

-Ah! (Panting) I'm here!

-Ooh!

-This is my daughter,

Marinette, who, I'm certain,

did not forget her ticket!

(Gasps) Oh, sh**t!

Um, well, uh, thing is...

Marinette,

I asked you to remember it.

Ah! It's no biggie,

I'll just buy one.

Argh! No, I forgot my change.

Luckily,

I've always got a few spares!

Thanks, Super-Mom! Mwah!

Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm.

Look, in terms of the process,

when it comes to

re-evaluating the products,

the market demands a high yield

in terms of productivity.

Hello, sir. Would you be so kind

as to let this person access

the spot reserved for them?

Hey, I'm on a conference

call here!

So, what I was saying.

Yeah,

concomitantly with

the situational adaptability,

the managers should make

the negotiable systems converge.

-Hmm.

-No, no, we need a strong plan.

If we aren't flexible regarding

our mobilized relations,

we're gonna get creamed!

Thank you. Your sense of civic

responsibility is appreciated.

Next stop, Louise Michel.

sh**t! I forgot the pres--!

Uh... The presentation!

It's a magazine!

A new magazine

with Adrien on the cover!

Can I borrow your wallet?

I must get it.

Are you sure? You won't have

time to get off and back on

-during the stop.

-I'll be so quick!

Please, please, please, please!

-Louise Michel!

-Thank you!

This one, please.

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!

-Um...

-Thanks!

You're buying her a present

with her money?

Yeah, I know.

But I don't have cash!

I'll pay her back later!

(Gasps)

No! Wait!

(Panting) Oh!

Next stop, Claire Lacombe.

-(Phone rings)

-Mom! The bus left without me!

-I know, honey, I'm on it.

-What do I do now?

I'll get off at the next stop

and wait for you. Meet me there.

Claire Lacombe!

-Ticket inspection, please.

-Hello, sir.

My daughter got off with mine.

But we're meeting up

at this stop.

She shouldn't be too long.

Why don't we wait

for her together?

Huh! No one's ever

tried that one on me before!

Non-payment of fares,

that's a euro fine!

How will you be paying?

Unfortunately, sir,

I have no money with me.

-My daughter has my wallet.

-Ha, ha! Of course!

And I suppose you don't have

any ID with you either?

Well, obviously!

I just explained to you

-that my daughter has my wa--

-We'll see at the next stop.

Not with your daughter,

but with a real police officer

-who's going to take you in!

-What? But that's so unfair!

What's unfair is

stealing from Parisians

who do pay for their tickets,

ma'am!

(Panting)

Where is she?

Hey, there!

I got a customer for you!

No ticket, no money, no ID,

and, get this,

she even made up a family

with a daughter!

Ah, Roger! Perfect timing!

Tell this man I'm not lying!

Our daughters are together

in the same class!

Seriously, this woman

just can't stop lying!

Uh, well, the thing is...

Yeah, it's the truth, but...

-The truth but what?

-Well, uh... I'm sorry, Sabine,

but you didn't have a ticket.

That's a violation!

And without ID, to boot!

You know it's my duty

to take you in

for an identity check!

An identity check?

Are you kidding, Roger?

You've known me for years!

Watch out,

she's getting aggressive!

-The law is the law!

-(Phone rings)

-Hang on.

-Whoa! Whoa! Don't move!

-Check her purse!

-What is wrong with you?

It must be Marinette!

She must be worried!

You never know! She might have

some dangerous stuff in there!

-Oh, oops!

-Oh, come on, be careful!

Between you and your nonsense

and him and his,

-it's all nonsense!

-Whoa!

You need to calm down right now!

You are two inches away from

insulting a public official!

That's right! Insult! Insult!

-Is there a problem here?

-Yes!

I am victim of an injustice!

You'll speak when asked to.

We've been as reasonable

as we can about this,

but as you're not cooperating,

I have no choice

but to do my duty!

What?

But I haven't done anything!

You're not really

helping your case, ma'am!

-The law is the law!

-I don't believe this!

Are you people humans or robots?

Injustice, abuse of power

and blind ignorance.

Three powerful plagues

that can cause even the most

stable of souls to waver!

It's our responsibility

to tip her over the brink

so she can become a w*apon

against Ladybug and Cat Noir!

(Police sound fearful)

Qilin, I am Shadow Moth.

They put you in handcuffs

despite your innocence.

Thanks to me,

you can repair this injustice!

I refuse to hurt anyone!

You can keep your power,

you devious insect!

Ah! You're judging me

without knowing me,

when I'm actually just like you,

a victim of misunderstanding.

And, like you,

I don't want to hurt anyone.

-I don't believe you.

-Here's proof.

If you accept, I will offer you

a mighty power to accomplish

your noble mission!

So be it! When all injustices

have been righted,

peace will prevail!

(Screaming)

You've reached

Sabine's voicemail.

This is so weird, Tikki.

My mom would never

have just left me like this!

(Police sirens)

You're under arrest!

Give yourself up now!

SABINE:

Take these handcuffs off me!

Run! She's crazy!

Oh, no!

What if Mom's in trouble?

Tikki, spots on!

No way I'm going back there!

-Thanks, Ladybug!

-Where's Mom? Uh! Ma'am!

-The one with the chouquettes?

-She was arrested.

(Gasps) Arrested?

There's no way!

SABINE:

You're unworthy of your mission!

Ignorance

has corrupted your souls!

Qilin will show you

the true meaning of justice!

Move the mountains!

Aaah!

Climb the lightning bolts!

Hang from the clouds!

General, use trucks

to block the perimeter!

We need to att*ck from the west!

Ask for backup!

Get more backup!

Sir! Uh, I mean, Mr Mayor!

Where are the tanks

and jets you promised?

Quake the Earth!

Aaah!

I am innocent!

Get these handcuffs off me!

Otherwise, you will suffer

under the weight of injustice!

Aaah!

Stop! You're putting

innocent lives in danger!

Ladybug! Where was she when

your innocence was in question?

Don't listen to this hypocrite!

Take her Miraculous!

If they're serving injustice,

then they are not innocent!

If you defend them, you're not

on the side of justice either!

Careful! The weather forecast

predicted a shower of objects!

Good thing you've got

your umbrella, then!

First one to catch her wins!

This isn't a game, Cat Noir!

Roll back the waves!

Capture the rainbow!

Aaah!

(Police sirens)

She's impossible to catch!

Not to mention

even getting near her!

How do we break the object

that holds the akuma?

Bring in the net

and flip the turtle!

An injustice to one

is a thr*at to all!

Take these handcuffs off me!

Things are more complicated

than they seem.

We have to find out more!

Cover me!

Those are some poetic nicknames

for your att*cks!

I like 'em!

Where's your inspiration from?

-Crush the cat!

-Aaah! Whoa!

Not such a fan of this one!

Do any of you know what

injustice she's talking about?

How would I know?

She started it!

We were just following orders!

What was she like before this?

Terrifying!

Really stubborn and a liar!

She kept saying she had

a daughter who got off the bus

-with the tickets...

-Who was coming back!

-A load of baloney!

-Aaah!

A daughter

who got off with the tickets?

Well, how about

we find that daughter?

That could work!

The injustice would be repaired,

and she wouldn't

stay akumatized!

Let's see if your idea

is really that good. Cover me!

Excuse me, I got the impression

you were trying to say something

just now with that flying truck?

Oh! Right!

It's much clearer now!

Thing is, kitty-cat,

for Marinette to appear,

I'd have to de-transform.

That's pretty risky.

I'd better be sure it'll

calm down Mom before I do it!

Qilin! Roger! It's silly to

fight over a few bus tickets!

It's not about tickets!

It's about principles!

Grr!

Aaah! If we find the girl

who has them,

we can prove it was

just a misunderstanding!

-She's lying! It's a trap!

-Really?

-They'd all stop attacking me?

-I promise you!

-Take these handcuffs off me!

-Absolutely not!

My duty is in question!

You didn't have a ticket!

-You broke the law!

-And the law is the law!

You're mistaking Law

for Justice!

Integrity without intelligence

is nothing but blind ignorance!

General,

begin Operation Butterfly Net!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Chase the storm!

(Screaming)

-(Groaning)

-Oh, well,

so much for my great idea!

Back to the old-fashioned way.

Swipe those handcuffs

and break 'em!

Exactly!

Lucky Charm!

A ray g*n? Hmm...

To stop this, we just need

to remove those handcuffs.

And I just need the key

to do that. So, why a ray g*n?

-Roger! Give me your keys!

-Are you out of your mind?

She's unstoppable

with handcuffs!

If we take them off,

she'll destroy everything!

-He's right!

-Stop being so stubborn!

Give them to me,

or I'll take them by force!

In that case, you too will be

breaking the law, Miss Ladybug!

Guys? Cover me!

POLICEMEN: Charge!

Hmm.

Of course!

That's what I was missing!

-More opponents?

-Sort of!

In order to de-akumatize Qilin,

we also have to stop

the att*cks from the police!

Here's my plan.

Cataclysm!

This way, officers!

(Anxious cries)

-Aaah!

-Roger! Fancy meeting you here!

-Sorry!

-Aaah!

Destruction

of public property!

Theft of authority's equipment!

Absurd cat ears and bell!

It's for justice

and the common good!

You'll thank me later!

We're on the same side here!

The key to our problem!

-Qilin!

-You again?

Here are the keys!

See? I keep my promises!

Qilin! Don't let her trick you!

Take her Miraculous!

Grr!

No, that would be unfair.

No!

No more evil-doing for you,

little akuma!

Time to de-evilize!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly!

Miraculous Ladybug!

Here is a magical charm.

Always keep it with you.

It will protect you

from Shadow Moth!

-BOTH: Pound it!

-Let's go! To the station, now!

Yes! Identity check,

custody and the whole works!

Hang on!

I know Mrs. Dupain-Cheng.

No one in the world is more

upright and honest than she is!

Roger, we won't stop you

from doing your duty.

But you have to promise me

you won't use those handcuffs,

and you'll wait for her daughter

before you make any decisions.

The law is a good thing, but you

need humanity to apply it well.

Well, I... I promise, Ladybug!

-What do you mean, Roger?

-She's right!

Say, there, you're not gonna

get akumatized again, are you?

-(Groans)

-Mom!

I've been looking for you

everywhere! (Panting)

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

I'm a bit late, I know,

but I just had

so much work recently!

But, someday, I'll manage

to handle it all, just like you.

I know, darling.

Here are our tickets!

I ran into Ladybug!

She explained the problem to me!

So?

-They're... They're valid.

-Hmm.

-You weren't lying.

-Does this mean

we can cancel the fine

and the ID check?

That doesn't change the fact

this lady was on the bus

without a ticket!

The situation is a bit complex.

But I guess that, yes, it would

be reasonable to cancel it all.

The truth is, I was out of line,

too. I am so, so sorry, Mom!

This is all my fault.

Which is why I'd like to pay

the fine with my pocket money!

That's quite a responsible act,

young lady!

But... well, just for now,

could you lend me the money,

please?

(Lively music)
