Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir 5x18

1. In the daytime, I'm Marinette.

2. Just a normal girl with a normal life.

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

4. 'Cause I've got a secret.

5. At last! Spearmint for his eyes, for his skin: vanilla.

6. Blueberry for her hair, rose for her perfume, and voilà!

7. Mmm. Mmm, mmm?

8. - No drama this time? Everything all right? - Everything's perfect.

9. Victory!

10. I never thought I'd serve this flavor combination.

11. Now that my mission on Earth is accomplished,

12. I can finally ride off into the sunset

13. and make new flavors of ice cream for the sweethearts of Venus!

14. I'm only kidding of course.

15. André is to Paris what whipped cream is to chocolate.

16. - Bon appétit, kids. - Thanks, André.

17. Oh, sorry. I have to go. I'm meeting with— with my father.

18. I didn't tell you about it, because I forgot.

19. And I'm already late. See you soon, Marinette.

20. Uh, see ya.

21. Is it me or did he just get super weird all of a sudden?

22. When you're together, you two are always weird, Marinette.

23. Mmm. That ice cream looks delicious. You done with it?

24. Mmm.

25. I don't understand. We hang out almost every day.

26. We've both told each other we're in love

27. yet every time we're about to kiss, something comes up.

28. We're together having a good time, and poof!

29. Off he runs, like a princess who's about to turn into a pumpkin.

30. Do you think Adrien's hiding something?

31. - You don't know? - Don't know what?

32. You, the girl who used to know Adrien's schedule over the next 15 years by heart,

33. you have no idea what he's doing tonight?

34. Well, no, I don't.

35. I'll have you know that because of a certain friend's advice,

36. I stopped making Adrien plans, and I decided to let things happen,

37. because, no, I can't control everything,

38. and, yes, he is free to do whatever he wants.

39. Alliance, could you please look up the Diamonds' Dance?

40. Tonight, Adrien's attending the Diamonds' Dance,

41. a society ball his father organizes every year

42. for his most powerful friends and their children.

43. But why didn't he tell me about it?

44. He didn't wanna make you sad because he can't bring you.

45. You've gotta be on the official guest list to get in.

46. Kagami will be there, as well as Prince Ali, Chloé, Zoé—

47. Zoé? But we're supposed to go to the movies together tonight.

48. That's enough for today. Go get your things. We have to get ready.

49. Yes, Mother.

50. Hello, Kagami.

51. Uh, I'll be right with you, Mother.

52. You don't look happy, Kagami. Is something wrong?

53. I can't stay long, Lila.

54. I'm accompanying my mother to the Diamonds' Dance...

55. and I really don't feel like going.

56. My mother and Adrien's father want to introduce us

57. as the queen and king of the ball,

58. which is so embarrassing since Adrien and I aren't together.

59. Even though I still have feelings for Adrien that I don't always understand,

60. he and Marinette are deeply in love with each other.

61. I'm surprised you're not taking this opportunity to speak ill of Marinette.

62. I'm not the one who doesn't like her, she hates me.

63. I only wanna be her friend.

64. Uh, wait, what's this Diamonds' Dance all about anyway?

65. It's where the most powerful families introduce their greatest treasures:

66. their heirs and heiresses.

67. Adrien, Chloé, me. Our families see us as diamonds.

68. And I wasn't invited?

69. Of course not. You're not a precious stone,

70. you're just a stone.

71. Oh, forgive me Lila. That was too direct. I didn't mean to hurt you.

72. I don't think of you in that way, obviously,

73. but unfortunately my mother and Gabriel Agreste do.

74. It's okay, I'm not upset. It's only normal I wasn't invited.

75. I was just a little surprised.

76. Then I am reassured. See you soon, Lila.

77. - You're not going, Zoé? - Thanks, but no thanks.

78. I prefer brain-eating zombies in movies, not in real life.

79. And that's just what the Diamonds' Dance is:

80. a party for brain-eating zombies.

81. Back in New York I already hated these hypocritical parties

82. where I had to pretend to be friends with the same brats

83. who were making my life a nightmare at school.

84. Now that I've learned not to allow my family to control my life,

85. thanks to you, there's no way I'm going back to the old one.

86. I'd much rather watch a movie with you.

87. Hmm. Now I get why Adrien didn't look too happy to leave earlier.

88. But that still doesn't explain why he didn't tell me about it.

89. You know, it's easy for me not to go.

90. My sister hates me, my mother can barely remember my name,

91. no one will notice I'm not there.

92. But it's different for Adrien. Everyone knows him.

93. He's the heir of Gabriel Agreste, greatest fashion designer in the world.

94. All of this puts a huge amount of pressure on him.

95. Of course, it makes total sense. That's why he didn't tell me.

96. I helped him escape from his modeling life,

97. so he couldn't bring himself to tell me he was still under his dad's rule.

98. He was afraid to disappoint me.

99. Oh, poor Adrien. To think that I can't even go there to support him.

100. Hmm... You could if you really wanted to.

101. I can't go to the ball dressed like this.

102. Oh, don't worry about that. They'll have planned everything.

103. - Welcome, Prince Ali. - Welcome, Ms. Soraya Khan.

104. Adrien has a right to be with whoever he wants.

105. Above all, he has the obligation to follow orders.

106. We'll see about that.

107. Incoming call. Lila Rossi. Incoming call.

108. Dismiss.

109. You've reached the voice mail of Gabriel Agreste. Please leave a message.

110. Mr. Agreste, there must be some mistake.

111. I still haven't received my invitation to the Diamonds' Dance,

112. yet I am one of the treasures of the Gabriel brand, am I not?

113. I'm counting on you to have the invitation rushed over to me,

114. along with the dress I'll be wearing. Thanks in advance.

115. A slight setback, Tsurugi-san. Adrien shouldn't be long.

116. Shouldn't? He should already be here.

117. Our children are this year's queen and king of the ball, and Adrien is late?

118. Good evening, Gabriel. Good evening, Tsurugi-san.

119. A-And where's Adrien?

120. - Ah. See you inside. - The traitor must be hanging out

121. with his baker girl again.

122. Welcome, Adrien Agreste.

123. Uh, Marinette, are you sure it's such a good idea

124. to attend a party you're not invited to?

125. I don't actually want to go to the party, Tikki.

126. I wanna tell Adrien that he could've told me he had to go,

127. and that I didn't mind him going, since I wasn't interested in going anyway.

128. So, you're going?

129. Yes! But not to go. It's the thought that counts, right?

130. Yes.

131. Uh...

132. Please excuse my tardiness, Ms. Tsurugi-san.

133. For my first time as king of the ball,

134. it is a great honor to have your wonderful daughter as my queen.

135. Our king and queen will be magnificent, Tsurugi-san.

136. Gabriel, my son Félix has been missing for weeks now.

137. Not only have you and your friends been no help with the search,

138. but now I'm not even invited to the ball?

139. You haven't been the same since my sister Emilie disappeared.

140. Why are you rejecting us?

141. This is not the place nor the time, Amélie.

142. Nathalie will see you out.

143. I don't understand how Gabriel could've become so cruel,

144. let alone why you're still complicit in his actions.

145. Sorry, Amélie. I have no choice.

146. There's always a choice, Nathalie.

147. Hmm.

148. Miss? If you're looking for the entrance to the ballroom, it's this way.

149. Have a nice evening.

150. Did you see Guenievre's father? I heard...

151. everyone's talking about now.

152. Shall we?

153. Oh. You're new. What's your name?

154. Uh, Zoé! My name is Zoé.

155. Yuck! Just like my half of a sister. But at least you have style.

156. How rich are your parents? Rich? Very rich?

157. Immensely rich, of course. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.

158. It's too bad we can't bring our underlings with us.

159. Sure, these tin cans can serve properly, but we can't make fun of them. So lame.

160. - What's your underling's name? - Um, Chloé. Her name's Chloé.

161. - Oh. But that's my name too. - No one's perfect.

162. She's lame, utterly lame.

163. My butler? His name is Jean... Or is it Jean-Charles?

164. Your being late was a brilliant way to infuriate our parents,

165. but the hand-kissing might have been too much.

166. Why was it too much?

167. Because you're in love with Marinette.

168. Are you jealous?

169. A little.

170. Lately, you've become closer to who I wished you could've been.

171. You're more assertive and braver.

172. But I will shut off my feelings, because Marinette is my friend.

173. It's admirable of you, my queen.

174. It's okay, Adrien, they're not watching us.

175. We don't need to play puppets for our parents.

176. But they're still the ones pulling the strings, aren't they?

177. I am a descendant of samurai women.

178. In my family, you obey orders because you choose to.

179. The queen and king are about to open the ball.

180. Here we go.

181. Tsurugi-san, our king and queen are going to live up to our expectations.

182. Let's leave. I dare you.

183. Are you insane? We can't do that.

184. Of course we can. I can.

185. - You'd do that? - Wanna bet?

186. No, we can't.

187. See? You're not as free as you claim.

188. Don't you think that we should be able to decide our future?

189. Ah.

190. - Uh, where are you going? - Hey, Adrien, it's me.

191. - Marinette? - Hi, Kagami.

192. What's going on, Gabriel-san? Is there a problem?

193. Adrien, I just wanted to tell you,

194. even though you had to go to a dance you didn't wanna go to,

195. it didn't mean you couldn't have told me

196. that you didn't wanna go but were going anyway.

197. And the only reason why I'm at this event is to tell you this.

198. Dupain-Cheng? Security!

199. A baker girl has crashed our party. Mediocrity flour alert!

200. Yuck! To think that I touched her.

201. Dupain-Cheng?

202. And I also wanted to tell you that I love you.

203. And that I know you're doing your best, which is already totally amazing,

204. and that we'll see each other tomorrow at school. Have fun tonight.

205. Mmm.

206. Huh?

207. Zoé Lee. Adrien Agreste. No intrusion detected.

208. Zoé Lee. Of course!

209. My half of a sister conspired with Dupain-Cheng.

210. This isn't Zoé Lee. That's Dupain-Cheng.

211. Tear off her mask!

212. - Ew, I can't touch a baker girl. - What if I broke a nail?

213. - All eyes are on you. - They're looking at me like I'm a monster.

214. Look closer, Marinette. They're the monsters.

215. You're not Adrien.

216. Félix, where's Adrien? What did you do to him?

217. Dupain-Cheng!

218. Yah!

219. Duusu, spread my feathers.

220. Let the moon rise!

221. You are all at my mercy.

222. The red moon gives me the power

223. to wipe out anyone who's been bathed in its light with a snap of my fingers.

224. What is that idiot talking about? He's ridiculous.

225. Félix!

226. Good evening, Uncle. You can call me Argos now.

227. How dare you?

228. - I will never allow you to— - Oh, I think you will, Uncle.

229. It's time for someone to put an end to your endless trying to control people:

230. Adrien, my mother, me, and turn us into whatever you want us to be.

231. I'm freeing us from you.

232. Kagami!

233. Mother!

234. No!

235. Rejoice, Kagami. Now you're truly free.

236. Where is Adrien? If you've hurt him in any way—

237. Adrien is the last person I'd want to hurt, Marinette.

238. I care about him, and he's lucky to have you.

239. Stay here and keep safe.

240. Marinette, I can't believe that was Félix.

241. And this time I won't let him get away.

242. Tikki, spots on!

243. What?

244. What is that?

245. Ladybug. Good. Now we just need to wait for Cat Noir,

246. and then you'll both give me your Miraculous.

247. So that's it then. You're working for Monarch.

248. You're the reason why I lost the other Miraculous in the first place.

249. And why he took them.

250. You gave them without any regard for the consequences it might have

251. on the people of Paris.

252. True. Except I work for no one.

253. I only helped Monarch because it served my plans.

254. I needed the Peacock Miraculous and today I need yours and Cat Noir's

255. so I can make my wish.

256. Your wish? What do you want? What are you trying to do?

257. You're destroying the world and we don't even know why.

258. When I merge your Miraculous together,

259. I'll make a wish to create a better world. A free world.

260. Where no one will be under anyone's control anymore.

261. Where no one will be excluded like I was.

262. A world without people like you to decide what's right or wrong,

263. who gets powers and who doesn't.

264. There would be a terrible price to pay.

265. There's no price too high for me.

266. I have nothing to lose.

267. You're no better than Monarch if you use the same methods he does.

268. I'll never give you my Miraculous.

269. Then I'll do without it.

270. If you don't let me recreate the world, I'll use my own power to transform it.

271. I'll just snap my fingers until there's no one left.

272. I won't let you do this.

273. And how do you intend to stop me?

274. By now, the whole world's been bathed in the light of the red moon.

275. You don't know what object controls my Sentimonster or where it is.

276. If you try anything, I'll snap my fingers.

277. You've lost, Ladybug.

278. No! There's always a solution.

279. Lucky Charm!

280. That's checkmate, Ladybug.

281. You're right, I can't defeat you.

282. But winning isn't always what we think it is.

283. For the last time.

284. Never.

285. All of humanity will disappear if you don't hand it over.

286. Are you willing to pay that price?

287. You're the only one who can answer that question.

288. You monster.

289. You made everyone I love disappear.

290. Not everyone.

291. Kagami?

292. Félix? What happened?

293. What have you done?

294. I created a better world, my favorite cousin.

295. - A world where you're free. - What?

296. Everything I did, I did for you.

297. Oh, little Amok, can you feel my anger?

298. Bring light to my creation, dear Amok, and let my emotions come to life.

299. Hello, red moon. I'm Argos.

300. Together, we're going to save Adrien from my uncle's grasp

301. so that he can finally be free.

302. And I'm already very late. See you soon, Marinette.

303. Uh, see ya!

304. - Félix? - Shh. Mmm.

305. Hold my feather.

306. For weeks, I'd been waiting for the perfect opportunity

307. to set you free.

308. To set you both free.

309. To set us all free.

310. And offer us a new world where no one can tell us what we can or can't do.

311. And voilà! We're free and we're together.

312. Aren't you incredibly happy?

313. You're out of your mind, Félix.

314. You can't do this!

315. You've gotta bring those people back.

316. Bring them back, now!

317. What's there not to like? What's the problem?

318. I thought you wanted to be freed from your parents?

319. Look! Isn't this great? Just the three of us.

320. We have everything we need to be happy.

321. Happy? When there's no one left?

322. How can I be happy without my friends?

323. Without my father? Without the girl I love?

324. You really think I'm that evil?

325. Ta-da!

326. Huh?

327. That's weird.

328. I don't understand. She should come back.

329. Something's wrong. I can usually bring back whoever I want

330. but it's like she— she's nowhere, like she's completely gone.

331. - I'm sorry, Adrien. - Sorry? You're sorry?

332. You're not even in control of your own power.

333. Don't you realize what you've done? Bring everyone back. Now!

334. Okay, okay, all right.

335. I never meant to hurt you two.

336. Huh? What's going on?

337. It worked!

338. And Marinette? Where is she?

339. Where's Marinette? What did you do with her?

340. Spots off.

341. Kagami! Adrien!

342. - I'm here. I'm fine. - Marinette!

343. I was so scared.

344. My friend, I've made a terrible mistake.

345. I shouldn't have created you out of so much anger.

346. Your power is terrible. What would happen if I lost control?

347. Can you forgive me?

348. My friend. My sister.

349. I release you from existence.

350. You were right. I did everything you told me to

351. and Gabriel didn't do or say anything to help me.

352. He despises me. He's a monster.

353. They're all monsters.

354. Hold my feather.

355. Not all of them.

356. And a three-flavored ice cream for the best friends in Paris.

357. You kids are going to give me a brain freeze some day.

358. It's always something with you three.

359. Thanks, André.

360. You know, the only reason I didn't tell you about the Diamonds' Dance

361. is because my father ordered me not to.

362. I'm afraid he doesn't wanna see us together, Marinette.

363. I just don't understand why.

364. Maybe you could suggest that he and I meet so we could try to have a heart-to-heart.

365. - Maybe that would make things better. - You're right.

366. It won't be easy, but I'll try.

367. You two have really come a long way.

368. I'm proud of you and honored to be your friend.

369. In fact, I'm going to follow your example

370. and do what I should have done a long time ago.

371. I'm going to have a heart-to-heart with my mother.

372. I told you not to tell your friend about the Diamonds' Dance, Adrien,

373. precisely because I knew it would only lead to trouble.

374. As proven by the disaster that ensued.

375. I'm sorry but I don't want to hear another word about this Marinette ever again.

376. Was there something else you wanted to tell me?

377. No, Father.

378. - Nathalie. - Yes, sir?

379. I'm getting tired of Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

380. She's starting to get in my way almost as often as Ladybug.

381. Incoming call: Lila Rossi.

382. Lila! When will you understand?

383. I don't wish to talk to you, so stop calling with your foolish demands.

384. Inviting you to the Diamond Dance? Why would I do such a thing?

385. Because I am an image of the Agreste brand.

386. My bottles of perfume are images of the Agreste brand too,

387. and yet you don't see me inviting them to my events.

388. I've had enough of these people who don't know their place!

389. I'll show you that I'm not just some bottle of perfume, Monarch.
