03x02 - Weredad

[bunniefuu]

In the daytime,
I'm Marinette.

Just a normal girl
with a normal life.

But there's something about e that
no one knows yet.

Because
I have a secret.

Cake!

Aaah!

Cake!

Cake!

Cake!

I'll protect my pastries

if it's the last thing I do!

- You're going to get hurt!
- Cake!

No, Dad...
Mr Dupain! Move aside!

Wow! My heart is just like
that yoyo-wrapped baby's wrist,

taken prisoner
by Milady forever!

- Aaah!
- Cake!

Ah! Adrien's lips!
Aaah!

Admit it. For a second there,
you almost fell

for my poetic verse.

I never fall
for your poetry,

but I do find your foolishness
incredibly powerful.

Lucky charm!

Cake!

- Not cake!
- Your plastic doughnut

doesn't stand a chance against
the best macaroons in Paris.

That baby has taste!

That's Marinette's bedroom!

Marinette! Marinette!

Cat Noir, grab this!

- Marinette!
- Cataclysm!

- Marinette! Marinette!
- Miraculous Ladybug!

Marinette? Marinette!

Marinette?

So, what was it this time?

A late-night craving,
huh, baby August?

Oh, you're so cute!

I'm a bit jealous.

Don't be.
Here, you can have him.

Bye-bye, little guy.

I meant jealous of him!

Spots off!

Tom?

Marinette is not
in her bedroom!

[gasps]

You miss her already, too?
I know how it feels.

Gummy.

Ah, of course!
The pacifier!

Gummy!

Marinette?

- [nervous laugh]
- This isn't the first time

I've bumped into you right after
Ladybug's transformed back.

Could you be...?

In love with you!

Marinette?

- Cake!
- Well, I never! Whoa!

Oh! Well, perfect timing.

I have to go and
bring him back to his mother!

Wait! Why don't you
come

have Sunday brunch
with us tomorrow?

I'll make macaroons!

How could I say no to that?
Well, see you tomorrow, then!

I just thought
that she followed us everywhere

because she's a fan of Ladybug
like her friend Olovia..

But it turns out
that she's in love with me.

Do you realise? It's the
first time that a girl's told me

she's in love with me.

Tell me about it.

If only Ladybug
would confess her love to me

like that.

This is a total disaster!

You shouldn't have lied,
about your feelings, Marinette.

But he was about
to figure out

- that I'm Ladybug!
- Now everyone thinks

- that you're in love with him!
- [screams]

[humming]

Our daughter's boyfriend
is coming for lunch, tomorrow!

Do you realise
Marinette has a boyfriend?

And he's a superhero
on top of that!

She'll be safe with him.

Aren't you jumping the g*n
a little, Tom?

You're right.
I can't be baking dessert

when I haven't even started
on the first course yet!

I know! I'm going to cook them

a delicious
sweethearts' vol-au-vent!

Now,
where are the candied oranges?

What I meant is that
Cat Noir hasn't said anything

about his feelings.

Come on, it's obvious

he's in love with
Marinette!

Besides,
who wouldn't love Marinette?

Everyone loves Marinette!

You finally got yourself
a girlfriend.

And not any girlfriend.

The daughter of the best baker
in Paris!

Marinette in love with Cat Noir?
I didn't think he was her type!

Before you know it,
we'll be enjoying

some warm and crispy
bread

to go with every piece
of cheese.

Our life is about to change!

Stop it, Plagg.

You know
I'm in love with Ladybug!

So? I don't see the problem
in keeping two pots

simmering on the stove!

Especially when
there's actually only one pot.

I have to be honest
with Marinette.

I'll go over for brunch,
but only to tell her the truth.

Are you kidding?
At least, please wait

until after the cheese platter
is served!

[sighs]

[whistling]

He's not coming.

But if he does,
what are you going

to say to him?

I'm sure he's not coming!

He's in love with Ladybug!

He's not gonna come
and have a brunch with,

just for macaroons!

He's been rejected
so many times

by Ladybug.

Maybe he's changed his mind!

Cat Noir, change his mind?
Ha!

I seriously doubt it.

No one's as stubborn
and one-track minded as him!

Shouldn't we
be at Marinette's already?

Shh!

Adrien, you have minutes left
to finish your lunch

before it's time to review
your Chinese lesson.

Is my father too busy
to have lunch with me again?

Indeed. Your next meal
with your father

is next Thursday,

between : am
and : am.

In that case,
I'll have my lunch in my room

while studying Chinese.

At least talking while I eat

will feel
like I have some company!

Delicious bread,
here we come!

I told you,
we're not going for brunch there.

I'll only tell Marinette
that she's not the one I love.

Then we'll leave.

She's going to be so sad.

How could I make this
easier on her?

You're right.
Breaking her heart with flowers

will be much more romantic.

I told you he won't come.

Huh!

Looks like you underestimated
Cat Noir's love of macaroons!

I don't believe it!
What a glutton!

Oh, no! What if this doofus has
actually fallen in love with me?

For what, seconds?

Is that all his love
for Ladybug is worth?

Just one tiny declaration
of love and that's it, poof!

He changes his mind?

Uh, since you and Ladybug
are the same person,

he didn't exactly change
his mind.

Oh, no!
I definitely have to tell him

that I'm not really in love
with him!

Wait! I can't! If I tell him
that I don't love him,

he won't understand
why I told him

that I loved him,
in the first place!

I only told that I loved him

so that he wouldn't
figure out I'm Ladybug,

but if he sees that I lied,
he'll also see I did all that

so he wouldn't guess
that I'm Ladybug...

and he'll figure out
that I'm Ladybug!

Marinette! Marinette!

Tikki, help me!

Voilà!

- [door bell rings]
- This is a nightmare!

Come on, sweetie.
Let him in.

Uh... hello, Marinette.

- Uh... Hello, Cat Noir.
- Welcome to our home!

Tom, let him come up
for some air, huh?

Oops! Sorry! Ha, ha!

- Um... how are you?
- Uh, fine and you?

Oh! He brought a pink rose
for Marinette! She loves pink!

You two already know
each other so well!

Everyone loves pink!
It doesn't mean anything.

And actually, we don't
know each other that well.

He's right!
It all happened so fast!

Love at first sight?
That's even more romantic!

Have a seat, kids.
I'll bring out the first course.

- I have something to tell you!
- I have something to tell you!

Voilà!
Sweethearts' vol-au-vent!

For two, of course!

Tell me, Cat Noir, is being
a superhero a steady profession?

- [coughs]
- Tom!

- What?
- You're right, Dad!

It's got to be super dangerous,
being a superhero's girlfriend!

- Maybe I should rethink this.
- Of course not, sweetie!

Cat Noir won't be a superhero
all his life!

Once he's defeated Hawk Moth,

he won't need to run on
the roof-tops

with a stick
saving people.

I know! He could work
in the bakery with me!

- I could train you, young man!
- Uh...

Maybe Cat Noir doesn't want
to be a baker at all!

- Ha, ha, hah!
- Ah! See?

He'd love to!
Everyone loves bakers!

- Uh...
- The Dupain-Cat Noir bakery!

- Doesn't that sound purr-fect?
- Tom!

I can already see
the little kittens

running around in the house.

And pet hamsters!
Do you like hamsters?

Because my daughter
loves them!

What did you want to name
your future hamster again, sweety?

- This is a nightmare!
- Nightmare, right!

That's a funny name,
isn't it?

I'm bringing the soufflé!

Voilà! Hmm?

Tom, how about we let Cat Noir
tell us himself what he wants?

Good idea.
He seems like the kind of boy

who changes his mind
rather quickly!

[swallows hard]

Well, actually...

Mr Dupain,

Mrs Dupain-Cheng,
Marinette...

Here's the thing.
You're really nice people

and this meal is delicious,

and by far the friendliest
I've had in a long time.

Marinette, you're awesome
girl

and I get
that you have feelings for me.

After all,
I'm awesome in so many ways,

even I could fall in love
with myself.

Anyway, I'm afraid my heart
belongs to someone else.

Even if she keeps
rejecting me,

even if she loves somebody else,

I'm in love with
Ladybug.

I'm really sorry, Marinette.

Oh, this is so, oh...

so sad!

To think I spent all this time
following you everywhere

to tell you
that I loved you, Cat Noir!

[sobs]
I am so miserable!

No one will ever love me!

I'll end up all alone
with my hamster,

and its name
will be Loneliness!

[sobs]

♪ La, la, la, la ♪

Oh, this is such a relief,
Tikki!

He's not in love
with me!

Well, uh... I don't want
to bother you any longer.

I'm really sorry.
Thanks for having me, anyway.

[growls]

Is there a more delicious recipe
than a father's heart

broken by his child's heartache?

Fly, my dreadful akuma,

an evil feast
of darkness awaits you!

[evil laugh]

How can he not love Marinette?
Everyone loves Marinette!

One day,
Marinette will meet another boy.

She'll love him
with all her heart, and...

He'll break it too!
Never again!

I won't let anyone
break my daughter's heart again!

Weredad,
I am Hawk Moth.

I'm giving you the power
to protect your daughter

from anything
that brings her harm.

In return...

I'll bring you
some Cat Noir pâté!

That, and his and Ladybug's
Miraculous would be perfect.

[gasps]

What is this?
Tikki!

Marinette!

I messed up.

I really messed up! Marinette!

Marinette!

I'm so sorry!
This is all my fault!

Of course not, Cat Noir!
It's Tom.

No matter
how many times I tell him,

he always takes things
too far.

I'll bring your husband back

to his senses and keep
Marinette out of this.

I promise!

Shouldn't you wait for
Ladybug?

I trust her.
She always shows up

at the right time.

You really love her,
huh?

Yes. But, um,

Marinette seems like an
awesome girl too, you know!

- Don' worry. I'll save her!
- I've faith in you, Cat Noir.

You're a good person.

Never apologise
for your feelings.

Thank you,
Mrs Dupain-Cheng.

Good luck, Cat Noir!

Marinette!

Tikki!
[word echoes]

Tikki!
[word echoes]

Marinette!

- Marinette!
- Tikki? I'm here!

- Marinette, where are you?
- Tikki!

Marinette? Mr Dupain?

How dare you come back
after what you've done?

Aaah!

I will always be here
to save Marinette.

She's safe from you!

And all the boys
who want to break her heart!

I didn't mean to break
her heart, sir, I swear!

Very nice, I swear that I'm about
to crush your bones!

Where are you, Ladybug?

I'm sorry, but... Aaah!
I can't let you do that!

- Why not?
- Aaah!

Because I have...
Whoa!

...a damsel in distress
to rescue!

I forbid you to rescue her!
You don't deserve to save her!

From now on, no one else
but I will protect her!

Are you planning to protect her
all her life?

Exactly! I'll keep her safe
from sadness, hardship

and anything
that could hurt her!

You can't protect her
from what hurts most!

You know what
hurts the most?

My great, big punches?

[battle cries]

No, what hurts the most
is solitude. Believe me,

I know all about it!

Nothing hurts more
than isolation,

having sitting alone
in front of a cold meal!

Is that what you want
for your daughter?

A lifetime
of cold meals

in her prison of roses?

She will never be
alone!

Someday
a prince will come.

A prince worthy of her,
daring enough to face me,

who will brave
the many dangers

and pick the magic rose
for her!

He will be worthy
of taking her from my guard.

Tikki!

This is a magic prison,
Marinette.

It looks like it's trying
to keep me from finding you!

There must be a way
out of here!

Hmm.

That rose...
it's the one Cat Noir gave me!

OK.

I may not be
her prince,

but I'm charming
enough to free her!

I forbid you to do so!

Marinette? Marinette?

I'm OK! I can do it!

Not being in love with her

and losing my stick won't
keep me from saving her!

I'll never give up, never!

You're not worthy
of my daughter!

The Miraculous!
Grab his ring!

Gotcha!

Aaah!

What?
What's going on? Aaah!

- Aaah!
- Marinette!

Tikki, spots on!

Gotcha!

Bye-bye, little butterfly!

Milady!

- I'm coming!
- No! Take care of Marinette!

- She's around here!
- Don't worry!

I've already taken her
to safety!

She's as wonderful
as ever.

Who wouldn't be in love
with Ladybug?

Oh! I... She also has
some flaws, you know!

Not all of us
can land on our feet,

so I guess we're gonna need
a little bit of luck.

Lucky charm!

- Oh!
- Do your thing, Cat noir!

Cataclysm!

- Hang on!
- Whoa!

- Tom!
- Honey!

Pound it, Milady!

Pound it, Cat Noir.

Miraculous Ladybug!

- Marinette! Marinette!
- Marinette!

Wait! The Miraculous
repaired everything,

so she must be safely back
in her room!

- Marinette!
- Marinette!

- Dad... Dad, I can't breathe!
- Oh! Sorry! I was so scared!

You were so heartbroken
because of that... Grr!

Dad, stop.

Cat Noir has every right
to be in love with Ladybug.

She's very lucky to have you.

And just because you and I
aren't in love with each other,

doesn't mean
that we can't be friends.

Really? Oh, phew!

I really didn't want
to hurt you, Marinett!

You seem like
such an awesome person.

Even though you're not
a fan of mine,

like I orginally thought
when I saw you on the roof!

What? You just thought
I was a fan of yours?

Well, yeah!
That's what I was about to say

when you jumped on me.
"Could it be

that she's a fan of mine?"

You see, Tom?

Your daughter
is strong in handling

her own disappointments.

And even
if he's not in love

with Marinette,

Cat Noir proved himself

by saving her today.

It's true.
Your courage and tenacity

match those
of the greatest pastry chefs!

Are you sure
that you don't want to learn this trade?

If you bring fresh croissants
to Ladybug every day,

she'll surely wind up
falling in love with you!

Dad!

[laughter]
