‎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.

‎Sleep over at your place tonight? ‎That'd be awesome!
‎Come on, hurry up! I don't have all day!
‎Except... I can't... I... ‎I have to help my parents in the bakery!
‎Again? ‎But you've been helping them all week!
‎-Online gaming battle? I'm free! ‎-Cool!
‎Wait till you check out my weaponry! ‎You won't stand a chance.
‎Come on, chop-chop, hurry along now!
‎I forgot. I've got Chinese class!
‎Again? But we haven't played all week!
‎-Albert? ‎-At your service, sir.
‎-Hoo-hoo. ‎-Please repeat.
‎I was unable to understand.
‎-Hoo-hoo. ‎-Please repeat.
‎I was unable to understand.
‎-Hoo-hoo! ‎-Please repeat.
‎[voice cracks up]
‎Please repeat. ‎Please repeat. Please repeat.
‎Ouch! ‎[zips]
‎It is now the hour of The Owl! ‎Hoo-hoo!
‎-Miaow. ‎-Oh!
‎Hoo-hoo! Well, Mrs Michel, ‎has Whiskers got vertigo again?
‎Have no fear. This is a mission for... ‎The Owl! Hoo-hoo!
‎Owl Talon!
‎Hoomerang!
‎Uh, what exactly ‎were you planning with that?
‎Er, uh... It takes more than this ‎to dissuade... The Owl!
‎Here, kitty, kitty! Come to Owl!
‎-OK, I'll call the fire department. ‎-No need for that, Mrs Michel.
‎Uh-oh, Whiskers! ‎Stay calm. Come on now!
‎Mr Dam... uh, Owl! This is the fifth time ‎this week we've come to your rescue!
‎You're really gonna get hurt ‎one of these days! At least wear a helmet.
‎But you don't wear helmets!
‎Mr Owl, we've told you already, it's not ‎the same for us. We're‎ real‎ superheroes.
‎With real superpowers and magic suits.
‎I know, but since I was a little boy,
‎I only ever dreamed ‎of becoming a real superhero.
‎Come on, boys!
‎The exploits of Ladybug and Cat Noir
‎inspired some people ‎to act as superheroes.
‎But is it a good thing? ‎Over to our reporter Clara Contard.
‎Today, Ladybug and Cat Noir ‎have once again come to the aid
‎of the self-proclaimed superhero, ‎The Owl.
‎Thanks to sound advice from my good ‎friends, Ladybug and Cat Noir,
‎I am certain I will do better next time.
‎I will be reviewing my weaponry ‎and training,
‎because, wherever there's injustice, ‎there's... The Owl!
‎Owl Mist!
‎Hoo-hoo!
‎[coughs and splutters]
‎Hoo-hoo!
‎-[brakes and honking] ‎-Sorry!
‎-Any comments, Ladybug and Cat Noir? ‎-Er, you know, he's a great guy.
‎But, to all the children of Paris, ‎you mustn't copy him, OK?
‎It's very dangerous!
‎Ladybug's right. ‎So, don't try this at home. OK, kids?
‎Meanwhile, the question that remains ‎on every lip is,
‎"Who lies behind the mask of The Owl, ‎the clumsiest superhero in all of Paris?"
‎The principal, Mr Damocles, has a good ‎heart, but this is bound to end badly.
‎And we can't spend all our time ‎watching out for him, either.
‎It's turning into a full-time job!
‎Perhaps we should convince him ‎to stop trying
‎-by scaring him, for example? ‎-And shatter the poor man's dream? No way!
‎Instead, maybe we should help him ‎make his dream come true.
‎He said all he wanted was to be a hero, ‎even if it was just for one day.
‎Of course! ‎If we make him a hero for a day,
‎he'll be happy and quit playing this ‎dangerous game. Spot on, as usual, Milady!
‎-We just need to figure out how. ‎-I just may have an idea.
‎[phone rings]
‎Oh...
‎[school bell rings]
‎Sorry, but my parents ‎need me again tonight.
‎-But for sure I'll be free tomorrow. ‎-Come on, chop-chop. Hurry along now!
‎Sorry, Nino, same as usual. ‎But I should be free tomorrow.
‎[knock on door]
‎Ladybug? Cat Noir? Whoa!
‎-Ready for the test, Albert? ‎-Please repeat.
‎I was unable to understand.
‎Owl Talon!
‎Trial conclusive, sir.
‎[phone rings]
‎-Hello? ‎-Is this The Owl?
‎Who is this? ‎How do you know my secret identity?
‎I am Cardboard Girl, the supervillain!
‎I've kidnapped Ladybug and Cat Noir.
‎[evil laugh]
‎-Help us, Owl! ‎-Save us, Owl!
‎Release them immediately!
‎[evil laugh] ‎Never!
‎And I'll never tell you that I'm holding ‎them at Place des Vosges square, either!
‎Ha, ha! ‎You gave yourself away, Cardboard Girl!
‎Now you shall face ‎the feathered fury of... The Owl!
‎Hoo-hoo! Oh! Ouch!
‎-So, how was I? ‎-Nailed it.
‎-Now you just need to put this on! ‎-Uh... you sure about this... outfit?
‎[both] Definitely!
‎Oh!
‎Give up, Ladybug and Cat Noir! ‎I, evil Cardboard Girl,
‎have taken your Miraculous. ‎No one can save you now!
‎-Oh, no! My earrings! ‎-Oh, darn! We're done!
‎-Hoo-hoo! ‎-Owl!
‎Owl Talon! Hoo-hoo!
‎[grunts]
‎Mr Damocles! Is everything OK?
‎I am not Mr Damocles! I am The Owl!
‎You've revealed my secret identity!
‎We're sorry, Mr... Owl! We didn't mean to!
‎Don't take it the wrong way.
‎Ah! Ow!
‎Sorry it was a bust. ‎You were trying to do the right thing.
‎Yeah. Now we just have to hope ‎no one hears about it.
‎We now know the true identity ‎of the man
‎who has proclaimed himself ‎as Paris' new superhero.
‎The Owl is none other than the principal ‎of François Dupont High School,
‎Mr Damocles.
‎And this week's biggest loser is the new ‎social network winner, Mr Damocles!
‎I am not Mr Damocles. I am The Owl!
‎[laughter]‎ Isn't he a hoot?
‎[laughter] ‎The Owl!
‎I am The Owl!
‎Ah... Shame, pain ‎and a crushed dream.
‎Fly away, my little akuma, ‎and evilise this failed hero!
‎Dark Owl, I am Hawk Moth.
‎From now on, you will have true ‎superpowers and formidable weapons.
‎Nothing and no one will be able ‎to overpower you!
‎And if you want to be ‎the sole superhero of Paris,
‎there's just one thing you need to do.
‎Defeat Ladybug and Cat Noir ‎and bring me their Miraculous!
‎This is a mission for... The Dark Owl!
‎[humming]
‎[pop music playing]
‎Citizens of Paris, ‎listen to me very carefully.
‎With just one movement, I can release ‎the rope holding up this city bus,
‎and all the animals inside will crash down ‎upon this poor, helpless little kitten!
‎- [evil laughter] ‎-Tikki, I think we've got...
‎...a serious problem.
‎And if anyone should be tempted to come ‎and save these animals, beware,
‎it is all rigged! Liquid nitrogen will ‎douse the feet of the Eiffel Tower,
‎freezing them to minus 700 degrees ‎and making them more fragile than glass.
‎They will collapse, and the bus will ‎flatten our cute kitten friend! Mwahahaha!
‎Ladybug, Cat Noir, the only way ‎you can save these sweet animals
‎is to come ‎and hand your Miraculous over to me!
‎And you only have ten minutes!
‎Follow the Owl signal!
‎[hooting]
‎We can't let this happen!
‎Tikki, spots on!
‎Ha!
‎-Albert, the signal! ‎-At your service, sir.
‎It's perfect.
‎Wow! That principal ‎sure is holding a grudge!
‎We've definitely ruffled his feathers!
‎We must stop the countdown.
‎If you want, ‎I can distract him with chitchat!
‎You certainly are the cat for the job!
‎Let's stay in touch!
‎Hoo-hoo! Mr Damocles!
‎I am not Mr Damocles! ‎I am... The Dark Owl!
‎Let's talk about this. Why don't we just ‎team up, the three of us?
‎After all, ‎you do have real powers now!
‎Where is Ladybug?
‎Grappling iron, boomerang, utility belt... ‎The akuma must be in one of his weapons.
‎Yeah, but which one? ‎Ladybug will be here any minute.
‎Then you can place your Miraculous ‎in the box in the middle of the stadium!
‎Or...
‎Boom! OK, I get it!
‎-Try to grab his detonator! ‎-I'm on it!
‎-[moaning] ‎-Over to you, Cat Noir!
‎[screams]
‎Ha! Ooh! Oops! Time flies! This is your ‎last chance to save the helpless kitten!
‎-What's he got against cats? ‎-Heroes don't hurt innocent beings!
‎Then give me your Miraculous, ‎otherwise you will be to blame!
‎Owl Talon!
‎[shouting]
‎Cataclysm!
‎It's the end of the line for you!
‎[battle cry]
‎Lucky Charm!
‎A fountain pen?
‎What are you gonna do, ‎ask him to sign an autograph?
‎I'm deactivating the detonator, Milady!
‎-What? ‎-Hoomerang!
‎Albert! Activate the hatch!
‎[screaming]
‎I am the Guardian of Paris! ‎I am... The Dark Owl!
‎Mwahahaha!
‎-The countdown is still running! ‎-That's impossible!
‎-Oh, come on! Please! ‎-It looks like...
‎Mmm! Tastes like whipped cream!
‎-Oh, no! ‎-Time's up! Albert, drop the bus!
‎Mwahahaha! You naives! ‎It was a hologram all along!
‎So, how does it feel to lose, ‎for once, and be humiliated?
‎Did you really think ‎I would hurt a kitten?
‎This next trap, though, is very real.
‎The room you're in is filling up ‎with whipped cream.
‎Whipped cream's too thick to swim in, ‎but too runny to float on!
‎I hope it's lactose-free!
‎You're going to drown, ‎softly but surely!
‎Unless, that is, you accept defeat ‎and give me your Miraculous!
‎Do you really think it'll make ‎a difference if I can't see you?
‎There's nowhere to escape! ‎If you don't give me the Miraculous now,
‎I'll simply take them after The Owl's ‎whipped cream has buried you!
‎-He's right. We're done for! ‎-Not yet, we're not.
‎-You win, Dark Owl! ‎-The time has come!
‎Excellent work, Dark Owl!
‎Close your eyes and no peeking.
‎We can't do this!
‎Trust me.
‎Spots off.
‎Claws in.
‎-Huh? What... ? ‎-Shh!
‎Miraculous delivered, sir.
‎Now I am the only superhero in Paris. ‎And a superhero keeps his word. Albert...
‎Owl's whipped cream deactivated, sir.
‎Dark Owl, deliver the Miraculous to me.
‎Albert! Transfer!
‎Mwahaha! I am the best bird!
‎They are mine! Ladybug's ability to create ‎and Cat Noir's power of destruction!
‎Whoever succeeds in merging ‎these two Miraculous
‎shall be granted a wish ‎that can change reality
‎and erase the past.
‎This cannot be!
‎No!
‎Dark Owl, ‎Ladybug and Cat Noir tricked you!
‎These are fake Miraculous, ‎made out of salt dough!
‎Cataclysm!
‎What?
‎-But that's impossible! How did you do it? ‎-Hey! What did you expect?
‎A superhero never reveals her secrets! ‎I thought you'd know better!
‎I've got plan A, plan B, ‎and all the alphabet to Z.
‎Did you really think ‎we'd give you our Miraculous?
‎We're superheroes. We are... Ladybug!
‎And Cat Noir!
‎By the way, say "Hi!" to Hawk Moth ‎for us! Hope he enjoys his new toys!
‎Destroy them, Dark Owl! If you fail again, ‎you can bid your superpowers farewell!
‎Hoomerangs! Trajectory control, Albert!
‎We don't know where his akuma is.
‎But we know it's not ‎in any of his weapons!
‎Cover me!
‎Lucky Charm!
‎The first volume ‎of the adventures of Knight Owl?
‎Do you think you can defeat me ‎by reading to me, Ladybug?
‎[evil laughter]
‎Knight Owl has a partner! ‎So must Dark Owl!
‎-He's all yours, Milady! ‎-Dark Owl's akumatized object
‎is not on him. It's in his lair!
‎Don't let him get away, Cat Noir. ‎I'm off to the school! Ha!
‎See that? Reading comic books ‎can actually save lives!
‎Albert! Owl Wings!
‎Hoo-hoo!
‎Cat versus bird. ‎Who usually wins this fight?
‎Bird! Ha!
‎[shouts]
‎[evil laughter]
‎Intrusion! Intrusion! ‎Intrusion! Intrusion!
‎A computer! Of course!
‎I'm right here, Albert!
‎Dark Owl always triumphs in the end!
‎You should have read to the end ‎of the comic, Ladybug!
‎No! No! No!
‎No more evil-doing for you, akuma!
‎Time to de-evilise!
‎Gotcha!
‎Bye-bye, little butterfly!
‎Miraculous Ladybug!
‎Ladybug? Cat Noir? ‎What are you doing in my office?
‎Pound it!
‎Ladybug, Cat Noir... Every day, ‎I get closer to destroying you both,
‎and soon you'll be nothing more ‎than superheroes in a history book!
‎And we're happy to announce ‎that this week's winner is, once again,
‎Paris' new superhero, The Owl! Hoo-hoo!
‎Calling us was the right thing to do! ‎Good job, Mr Dam... Uh, Mr Owl.
‎At your service, Captain. Wherever someone ‎needs him, he's right there...
‎The Owl!
‎Hoo-hoo!
‎Hey, Mr Dam... I mean, Owl! ‎Can we take a picture with you?
‎-Say "Hoo-hoo!" ‎-Hoo-hoo!
‎Tending to gardens, handing out blankets ‎to the homeless, feeding animals.
‎-The Owl spread his wings! ‎-He's a superhero in his own way!
‎-Now we'll have more spare time. ‎-Feel like going to the movies?
‎Sorry. I promised a friend ‎I'd hang out with her as soon as I could!
‎See you later, kitty cat!
‎Aw...
‎I'm not kidding, Marinette. ‎I was Cardboard Girl!
‎I wish you could've seen it! ‎It was awesome!
‎Triple dragon kick. Perfect. ‎Marinette wins!
‎What? No way. I wasn't looking. ‎You cheated!
‎[laughter]
