01x09 - The Evillustrator

[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 have a secret.

- Ready, dad?
- As much as I'll ever be.

Happy career day, my darlings.

My day begins

at 4 am every morning
because the bakery opens at 7.

You'd think it's a routine life,

making the same pastries,
rolls, cakes...

but every day's different.

One day someone might order

an Eiffel Tower
cake and the next...

You've reached
Gabriel Agreste's voicemail.

Please leave a message.

Hi, father, it's me.

It's parents' career day,
remember?

I was hoping you'd show up.
Call me back.

- You OK?
- Yeah, whatever. Nothing new.

Marinette will come round

to pass out some
fresh croissants.

Thank you, Mr Dupain.

Now, let's meet Alya's mom.

She's head-chef
at Le Grand Paris hotel

owned by Mayor Bourgeois.

It's beautiful.

Look, don't touch.

Put it away, Chloe.

It could get in the wrong hands.

How many croissants
would your dad

have to sell to buy
one of these?

What am I saying? He'd
have to sell the whole store.

If you're so rich,
you don't need free croissants.

Jealous.

Is that camembert?

That's not camembert,
but it is very shiny.

I like shiny.

I have no dishes to share

but maybe Mr Bourgeois
will invite

you all to the hotel for lunch.

Do you ever not trip up?

Next is Sabrina's father,
a policeman,

Officer Roger.

I've been a police officer
for 15 years,

and I believe that everyone is
innocent until proven guilty.

My bracelet, it's gone!

I had it a second ago.

You, you stole it!

What are you talking about?

You tripped on my bag
so you could steal it.

You're a policeman, arrest her.

My daughter is not a thief.

Hold on, Miss Bourgeois.

We don't accuse without proof.

Everyone calm down.
Maybe you simply misplaced it.

You're calling me a liar?

Daddy!

Roger, I demand
you search this girl.

Please, everybody.

Need I remind you

that as mayor,
I am your superior?

But it's against the law.
I can't just go...

OK, then you're fired.

Mayor, you can't be serious.
Over a missing bracelet?

This is my daughter's bracelet.

You're incompetent,
and you're fired. Get out!

Let's call Ladybug.

She'll actually do something.

Parent-child relationships
can be so complicated...

and a perfect
breeding-ground for stress.

When there's no more law and
order, there's only chaos left.

Fly away, my evil little Akuma,

and take control of
this policeman.

He expects me to break the law?
That's just... criminal.

Rogercop,

I am Hawk Moth.

This city needs a true,
ruthless, righter of wrongs

and that is where you come in.

Yes, sir.

Ladybug and Cat Noir must be

destroyed if you
want retribution.

You will seize
their Miraculuses for me.

Do we have an agreement?

Affirmative!

Cat Noir and Ladybug will be
powerless against me.

Justice will prevail in Paris.

Don't even think of going
near my daughter's bag!

Do you know who I am?

Gentlemen, this is a school.
Think of the children.

I'm sure the bracelet is

around here somewhere.

It probably just
rolled out of her bag.

I'd try and get as far away
as possible from that brat too.

Hey, Nino's been
filming everything.

We can see what really happened.

Marinette will come round to
pass out some fresh croissants.

There you have it.

Sabrina was holding it.

Yes, but I gave it back
straight after.

Chloe, take a look
in your BFF's bag.

Are you saying I'm a thief?

No. Chloe's the one
calling people thieves.

I'm going by what's
on the video.

Yes, I sketched it,
but I didn't do anything else.

You're under arrest.

What? What for?

Littering,

jaywalking,
and crossing on a red light.

Well, I suppose... I did
but you can't arrest me.

Who are you any anyway?
You don't look like a policeman.

I sentence you to litter duty.

Next mission, seek justice
from Mayor Bourgeois.

Give me the tape.

I'll have it analysed.

- No, it's my camera.
- Do you know who I am?

I'm the Mayor!

Where's the principle?

I want to see him now!

I won't bother you with the
story, it's a long, boring...

Yes you will, and fast.
We have a big problem.

If by big you're referring to
my hard abs,

thanks for noticing.

Now we have a bigger problem.

Hey! You can't just
walk in here.

I can go wherever I want,
whenever I want.

I am the law.

Well, I'm the authority here.

You are guilty of obstructing
the path of justice.

I sentence you to do laps.

Wait. I can't...
control... my arms.

Why can't I transform?

The bracelet will get absorbed
with me and damage your powers.

Soon, Ladybug and Cat Noir will
show up to meet their doom.

See, Chloe?
I tripped on the bag,

Sabrina held the bracelet
and Nathaniel sketched it.

We are all suspects.

What's that supposed to mean?
I didn't swipe it.

And neither did I

but Chloe could accuse
anyone and everyone.

Fine, since you're a suspect,
you'll let me search your bag.

Ok, but only if search
everyone else's too.

No-one's rummaging in my bag.

Marinette,
let the adults handle this.

She called me a thief.
I'm just defending myself.

You're also accusing your
friends like Chloe's doing.

I'm Chloe's BFF.
I wouldn't steal from her.

What about Adrien?
He's in 4 seconds of that video.

And we haven't seen him since.

Not Adrien.
Why would he steal a bracelet?

If anyone's guilty,
it's one of us.

Are you accusing us?

I want an attorney.

Marinette, stop.

We should search the parents.

Where is the Mayor?

Dad?

That's your dad?

- Hello, may I help you?
- Where is the Mayor?

I think he already left.

Are you lying?

Yes... I mean no.

If nobody speaks up
I'll arrest you all.

Where is your father?

I don't know.

Mr Principle,

find out who stole it ASAP!

Or your job is on the line.

My Daughter has been treated
with disrespect.

I was only defending myself.

My dad's right, I accused
everyone in the process.

I don't think any of us took it.

You'll find a way
to make it right.

Yeah, well, right now,
I've gotta transform.

Tikki, spots on!

I-I-I thought it was camembert.
Anyone can make a mistake.

You're always thinking
with your stomach... Wait.

A bit of pepper...

Gesundheit!

Plagg, claws out!

I'm warning you,

if you don't find it
by this evening,

I'll cut off all funding
for the school. Understood?

But how am I supposed to...

Didn't anyone ever teach you
to knock?

Justice doesn't need
an invitation.

Mayor, you're under arrest
for abuse of power.

Look who's talking.

Paris has a new
righter of wrongs.

Your services are
no longer required.

You can't accuse everyone
of every little wrong-doing!

Mr Rogercop, I need your help.

Hey, come back.

You're obstructing justice.

You'll pay for this.

You can add bodily harm
to the charges.

Listen, you're Sabrina's dad
and a good cop.

Don't let the evil person
who gave you these powers

make an evil cop out of you.

Don't listen to her.
Take their Miraculuses!

Their powers belong to me!

Justice must prevail
in the streets of Paris.

The mayor must pay for getting
rid of his best police officer.

Mr Rogercop!

I've got a serious problem,

worse than a bad hair day.

- Come, we'll talk about it.
- OK

Chloe, no!

I bet you missed me.

I know that Marinette
stole my bracelet.

She must be arrested.

Auto-pilot engaged.

Hello, are you listening to me?

Thanks for the lasso, Lassy.

Where are you going?
Who's going to drive this car?

Did I thank you for the lift?

Nice shoes.
I could use a pair like that.

Grab onto me.

No, Ladybug!

What have you done?

Snatch his Miraculus!

His ring!

Nice day for a swim.

Well, hey. I'm head over heels
to see you, milady.

You're welcome. You owe me one.

Sure but I'll take credit
for that.

Mayor's Limousine located.

There's no point
running after him.

He's way out of reach now.

Well, if it's the
mayor he wants...

He'll be heading for
the city hall.

Do I sense a plan?

Let's go.

Call all available police forces
ASAP. That's an order!

Bourgeois,

I'm taking over.
Relinquish your powers.

Never!

These handcuffs won't
change my mind.

Then maybe this will.

Hey!

Don't you dare lay a finger
on my little girl.

So much for your powers.

Paris has a new superpower.

His name is Rogercop.
I hereby relinquish

all authority to Rogercop.

All citizens are ordered
to answer to him.

Ladybug and Cat Noir are
now outlaws.

They must be hunted down

and taken into
custody immediately.

Let's go get 'em.

So now we're the nation's
most wanted felons?

We haven't done anything.

You can't accuse someone
without proof.

We should defend
ourselves in court.

Not while Rogercop's
the Chief of Justice.

How many times
have we saved Paris?

We're still saving Paris.

Something about Paris
just makes you wanna dance.

You won't be dancing
after I'm done with you.

Arrest him.

So you won't be joining me?

Go, Ladybug, go!

Ladybug, it's time
for justice to prevail.

You've got justice and revenge
all mixed up, Rogercop.

Lucky charm!

Oven mitts? What am I
supposed to do with these?

Fabulous, so wretchedly
fabulous!

OK, show's over.
Sorry, no encore tonight.

Get Ladybug

and Cat Noir.

Hey, my hair!

Stop sh**ting like an idiot.

You're supposed to seize
their Miraculuses!

The Akuma must be in
his whistle.

We've got to get to it.

How?

Whenever you're ready milady.

I have an idea, but I
need something like... a ring.

Where am I gonna get a ring?

Ladybug, over there.

That's Chloe's bracelet.

Exactly what I need.

Fend off Rogercop
as long as you can.

Whenever you're ready.

Cataclysm!

Gotcha.

No!

Do more evil-doing for you,
little Akuma.

Time to de-evilise!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly.

Miraculous Ladybug!

What am I doing up here?

POUNT IT!

As Rogercop would say,

Justice has prevailed in Paris.

I'd stick around
but you'd see me without my mask

and you wouldn't be able
to resist me.

I doubt it,
but I'll take your word for it.

You may have eluded me
this time, Ladybug,

but one of these days,
I'll be ruling the world,

and you and Cat Noir won't be
a part of it!

I think this belongs to you.

My bag... my... my bracelet.

But... how?

Roger... you found the bracelet?

It was in Chloe's bag all along.
It must have fallen

into a side-pocket
when that girl tripped.

Roger, I apologize
for being accusatory

and for f*ring you
for no good reason.

I think Officer Roger
has proven his worth.

You'd be wrong not to keep him.

Of course, Ladybug,
you're absolutely right.

And it's actually
Lieutenant Roger now.

Thank you, Mr Mayor.

I'm proud to be on the force

and I vow to uphold my belief

that everyone is innocent
until proven guilty.

Very good, a valuable lesson
learnt, right Chloe?

Yes, daddy.

Lesson learnt.
