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.
(Lively music)
(...)
- ALYA: Don't blink now, 'cause we are live from Paris.
Yo, peeps, Alya here bringing you the one and only Ladyblog.
Huh? What is that? - [helicopter blades whirring]
- LADYBUG: Ah!
- ALYA: Ladybug in action.
Hang on 'cause we're going for a ride.
Oh! Freak out!
What you've got here is no ordinary book.
It's a 10th grade history book,
and I should know 'cause I've got this very same book.
Could our very own Ladybug
be a high school student in real life? Whoa!
- I told you from day one, Tikki, I'm a total klutz.
- TIKKI: What's done is done. We can't change what happens.
We can only move forward.
Alya must not find out who you are.
You know how persistent she can be
with her blog totally dedicated to Ladybug.
- But how?
Maybe I'm not cut out for this whole Ladybug thing.
- You are the chosen one, Marinette.
It will all work out. Trust me.
Everyone has a past they can work from.
This will show you why.
- An exhibition at the Louvre on the Pharaoh Tutankhamen?
What does that have to do with my book and Alya?
- You must persuade Alya to go there with you
and make sure she brings the book.
You'll tell her you found out something about Ladybug.
- At the museum? - You'll see.
- Well, I don't know how I'm gonna convince Alya
to go to an Egyptian exhibit,
much less convince her that I'm not Ladybug.
- She will be interested and so will you.
Promise.
- Can you believe it?
All I've gotta do is find out
who this history book belongs to and bam!
I've figured out Ladybug's true identity.
I'm so on this one.
- You really think you can figure out who Ladybug is
from a textbook that every high school student owns?
- Yup.
'Cause our school is the only school that uses that book, ha!
So, all I gotta do is find out which girl in 10th grade
lost her book last week.
There are 43 girls, not counting myself.
- Forty-two, not counting you or me.
- [elbow thuds] - Ooof!
- Yesterday somebody didn't have her textbook in class.
- I left it at home.
You know I always forget my stuff.
- Hmmmm... [laughing]
Just messing with you, Marinette.
Of course I'll only drop you from my investigation
when you bring your history book back to class.
- BOY: [panting]
- [heavy thud] - ALYA: Oh!
- [object clanking] - BOY: [gasping]
It's not broken.
- Uh, I'm okay, too. Thanks for asking.
- I'm sorry.
Hey, you're in the same grade as Alix, right?
I'm her older brother, Jalil Kubdel.
So, you're into Tutankhamen, too?
Dad!
- Weird.
- So, again, girl why are we here?
This exhibit's got something to do with Ladybug, for real?
- Well, uh...
- TIKKI: There.
- Yeah, it's over there.
Uhh... - Hm...
ALYA ON VIDEO: Hang on 'cause we're going for a ride.
Oh! Freak out.
What you've got here is no ordinary book.
It's a 10th grade history book,
and I should know 'cause I've got this very same book.
Could our very own Ladybug
be a high school student in real life?
- That's crazy!
What are the odds that we have the same textbook?
Maybe we even go to the same school.
- Don't you think you'd know her then?
[chomping]
Why bother yourself with ladies when you can be enjoying this?
- For one, ladies smell about a thousand times better
than that cheese and they're much better looking.
- Suit yourself. Your loss. [chomping]
- My only loss is my appetite.
- ALYA: Come on, tell me what it is already.
- No, no, 'cause it wouldn't be a surprise then...
To you or me.
- I'm telling you, Father,
it's right there in the hieroglyphics.
Excuse me.
There, as you know, the one with the scepter
is Tutankhamen the First,
and there, opposite, is Nefertiti, his princess.
There are exactly 100 mummies beside them.
She died several years before him,
and the sun god, Ra, took her as his goddess.
- Yes, I know all that.
I'm the director of this exhibition, remember?
- Then you also know that Tutankhamen
wanted to bring his princess back to life
by offering the sun god a new wife.
This scene illustrates a ritual he devised.
Nobody has ever fully deciphered the hieroglyphics...
But I have!
It's a magic chant that needs to be recited
in order to complete the ritual.
I'm sure of it!
- He kind of reminds me of someone else
with crazy ideas... you.
- You might think my theories about Ladybug are crazy,
but you watch, girl, I'll prove you wrong.
- Jalil, these types of frescos
are almost always the illustration of a legend.
They call it a legend for a reason.
- That's what everyone thinks, but I know it's real.
I can prove it! - Really?
And exactly how are you going to prove it?
- I just need to get my hands
on Tutankhamen's scepter and recite the spell.
- Are you serious? - Oh!
- Don't even think of touching that scepter.
I'd lose my job on the spot.
It's a priceless, historical object... not a toy.
- Come on, Dad, we have to try out the spell!
What if Tutankhamen had found out
how to bring people back to life?
- Listen, Jalil, that's enough.
Get your head out of those papyrus scrolls
and focus on the real world... this one.
