**[00:15] Briegel**
Blast! He's gone into the woods.
**[00:18] Reinald**
The hunt is more fun when
they give us a bit of a chase.
**[00:22] Reinald**
Let's go.
**[00:23] Briegel**
Are you mad? Isn't this...
**[00:27] Briegel**
...the haunted wood?
**[00:31] Reinald**
Surely you don't believe that nonsense?
**[00:34] Briegel**
Of course not!
**[00:44] Crone**
Get out!
**[00:46] Crone**
These woods are guarded by werewolves!
**[00:49] Crone**
You'll be cursed if they discover you!
**[00:54] Briegel**
Gadzooks! Who is that crone?
**[00:56] Briegel**
Who knows. Let's hurry on.
**[00:59] Reinald**
R-Right...
**[01:00] Crone**
You fools!
**[01:07] Briegel**
Ah, there they are!
**[01:09] Reinald**
Where did the fox go?
**[01:11] Briegel**
Why are they barking?
**[01:36] Briegel**
What the hell is that?!
**[01:37] Reinald**
How should I know?!
**[01:44] Briegel**
W-Was that...
**[01:46] Reinald**
...a werewolf?
**[01:51] Butler**
Herr Reinald.
**[01:54] Butler**
Welcome back.
**[01:56] Reinald**
Oh, it's just you.
**[01:58] Butler**
How was your hunt?
**[02:01] Butler**
Why, Herr Reinald...
**[02:04] Butler**
Your nose is bleeding.
**[02:11] Butler**
Herr Reinald?
**[02:12] Briegel**
What's wrong? Stay with me, Reinald!
**[02:16] Briegel**
Wh-What's going on?!
**[02:18] Briegel**
Stay with me, Reinald!
**[02:20] Butler**
Herr Briegel!
**[02:27] Maid**
No!
**[02:44] Ciel**
"A pleasure to meet you."
**[02:46] Ciel**
"Ich freue mich Sie kennenzulernen."
**[02:49] Sebastian**
That was appalling.
Your intonation is all wrong.
**[02:53] Sebastian**
Again.
**[02:54] Ciel**
"Ich freue mich Sie kennenzulernen."
**[02:58] Sebastian**
Again.
**[03:01] Ciel**
"Ich freue mich Sie kennenzulernen!"

**[05:09] Ciel**
"Ich freue mich Sie kennenzulernen."
**[05:14] Ciel**
I have to stop.
This is giving me motion sickness.
**[05:17] Sebastian**
How undignified.
**[05:19] Ciel**
I'm just no good at German pronunciation.
**[05:21] Ciel**
I can read it. Isn't that enough?
**[05:28] Sebastian**
Germany, my lord?
**[05:34] Ciel**
Yes. Her Majesty has
ordered me to investigate
**[05:38] Ciel**
a series of suspicious deaths in Germany.
**[05:42] Sebastian**
She ordered you to go in person?
**[05:44] Ciel**
The Phantomhives' role is to
manage England's underworld.
**[05:48] Ciel**
I don't see why I should
have to go to Germany.
**[05:53] Victoria**
*"My dear boy—*
**[05:56] Victoria**
* There has been a series of*
* suspicious deaths in southern Germany."*
**[06:01] Victoria**
* "I am told that all of the victims*
* were perfectly healthy*
**[06:04] Victoria**
* before being struck by*
* a sudden deformity and dying."*
**[06:09] Victoria**
*"My grandson, William, is Germany's emperor,*
**[06:14] Victoria**
*and Germany is my family's homeland."*
**[06:18] Victoria**
* "If an epidemic is breaking out, I wish*
* to provide medical support immediately,*
**[06:22] Victoria**
* but I have been unable to obtain a clear response*
* from Willy or the Imperial government."*
**[06:27] Victoria**
*"I am terribly worried."*
**[06:29] Sebastian**
If Germany isn't answering her inquiries,
she can't officially send an envoy.
**[06:35] Sebastian**
Thus, the task has fallen to you?
**[06:40] Ciel**
We've gone abroad once before
in the course of an investigation,
**[06:45] Ciel**
but I can't make out her reason
for sending me this time.
**[06:48] Sebastian**
Why not ask her for a clearer explanation?
**[06:52] Ciel**
She'd only dodge the subject.
**[06:54] Ciel**
A dog's job is to joyfully chase
the bone his master throws, isn't it?
**[06:59] Sebastian**
The Phantomhives have an underground
information network across Europe and Asia.
**[07:05] Sebastian**
Perhaps her intention was to rely on that.
**[07:10] Ciel**
You-know-who is in Germany.
I inherited him from my father.
**[07:16] Ciel**
Let's have Chlaus pay him a visit. Set it up.
**[07:21] Sebastian**
Very good.
**[07:26] Ciel**
It's been a long time, Chlaus.
**[07:28] Ciel**
I apologize that this job was so sudden.
**[07:31] Chlaus**
Nonsense. It's perfectly fine.
**[07:33] Chlaus**
Though I must say your butler
appears where he's least expected.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Sebastian**
It's been a long time.
**[07:42] Chlaus**
I was enjoying a sauna in Finland
when he popped up. Gave me quite a shock.
**[07:47] Sebastian**
Please accept my apologies.
**[07:50] Ciel**
I'm just glad your holiday
was relatively nearby this time.
**[07:54] Ciel**
One time, you were on
the other side of the world.
**[07:59] Chlaus**
Holidays are the only pastime
we old men have left to us.
**[08:04] Chlaus**
Now, let's discuss the souvenir
you requested from Germany.
**[08:10] Chlaus**
I called upon him as soon
as I arrived in Germany,
**[08:13] Chlaus**
but he claimed to be busy
and turned me away.
**[08:16] Ciel**
Oh?
**[08:17] Chlaus**
I was forced to inspect the scene myself.
**[08:21] Chlaus**
It was very out of the way.
**[08:24] Chlaus**
I visited several villages and estates
where deaths had occurred,
**[08:28] Chlaus**
but I didn't see any signs of an epidemic.
**[08:31] Chlaus**
What's more, the victims were uninjured
and had been in perfect health.
**[08:35] Chlaus**
When I asked what had caused
the deaths, the answer was always...
**[08:41] Chlaus**
"the witch's curse."
**[08:44] Ciel**
Witch?
**[08:45] Chlaus**
Whatever it was affected
men and women of all ages,
**[08:48] Chlaus**
but the victims did
have one thing in common.
**[08:52] Chlaus**
They had all visited the
same forest before their deaths:
**[08:56] Chlaus**
the "Werewolves' Forest."
**[08:58] Chlaus**
The locals call it forbidden ground,
a cursed place, and the like. All very occult.
**[09:03] Sebastian**
The Werewolves' Forest?
**[09:08] Chlaus**
Yes. Southern Germany had brutal witch hunts
from the 14th to the 17th centuries.
**[09:16] Chlaus**
Legend has it the surviving witches
fled to a forest and settled there.
**[09:20] Chlaus**
Then, they unleashed familiars—
werewolves—to protect themselves.
**[09:26] Chlaus**
That forest has been called
the "Werewolves' Forest" ever since,
**[09:30] Chlaus**
and they say everyone
who sets foot in it is cursed.
**[09:34] Ciel**
People dying of curses? Ridiculous.
**[09:40] Chlaus**
I was certain you'd say that.
**[09:42] Chlaus**
I'm sorry that was the
only information I could gather.
**[09:46] Ciel**
No, I'm sorry to have put you to the trouble.
**[09:50] Ciel**
I suppose I have no choice
but to go in person.
**[09:53] Ciel**
Changing the subject,
there's something else I'd like to ask.
**[09:58] Ciel**
Undertaker has disappeared.
**[10:02] Chlaus**
Undertaker, eh?
**[10:03] Ciel**
You've known him since my father was earl,
so you must know more about him than I do.
**[10:09] Ciel**
I'd like information. Any detail could help.
**[10:14] Chlaus**
I'm afraid the two of us
stay out of each other's affairs.
**[10:18] Chlaus**
And Undertaker met Vincent—
your father—before I did.
**[10:24] Chlaus**
I assume the only person who knew Vincent
longer than Undertaker is you-know-who.
**[10:30] Chlaus**
They met in school, after all.
**[10:34] Sebastian**
Shall we call on you-know-who
while we're in Germany, then?
**[10:39] Sebastian**
We'll be in the same country.
**[10:41] Chlaus**
A fine idea, but German beauties—well,
*former* beauties— aren't easily wooed.
**[10:48] Chlaus**
You'll have to turn on the charm, Junior.
**[10:51] Ciel**
I'll have to pray the beauty
is in a good mood when I arrive.
**[10:57] Ciel**
Sebastian, arrange our tickets.
**[11:01] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[11:07] Diederich**
Like father, like son.
Why are all their requests so troublesome?
**[11:14] Diederich**
Still, I can't believe he's 13 already.
**[11:19] Diederich**
He must look more like his father every day.
**[11:25] Coachman A**
Ich will nicht unter dem Fluch
der Hexe sterben.
**[11:28] Coachman A**
Ich werde nicht gehen,
egal wie viel Geld man mir bietet.
**[11:33] Ciel**
Oi, Sebastian. What language is he speaking?
**[11:37] Sebastian**
East Franconian.
**[11:39] Sebastian**
It's a dialect spoken in southern Germany.
**[11:42] Ciel**
It's nothing like standard German!
What was the point of my studies?!
**[11:46] Sebastian**
It's always important to grasp
the fundamentals, my lord.
**[11:50] Ciel**
Well? What is he saying?
**[11:53] Sebastian**
"I'll not be goin' dyin' o'
no witch's curse, no fear."
**[11:56] Sebastian**
"No sum o' money could
convince me t'take ye there."
**[11:59] Sebastian**
And so on.
**[12:01] Ciel**
Has he seen one of the "cursed"?
**[12:03] Sebastian [Franconian]**
Have you seen a cursed person?
**[12:07] Coachman A [Franconian]**
'Course I 'as! Right terrible sight.
**[12:11] Coachman A [Franconian]**
Faces swell'd up twice 'eir size an' skin all meltin'.
**[12:17] Coachman A [Franconian]**
One o' 'em died right there an' th' one
'oo lived went doolally from th' shock.
**[12:25] Sebastian [Franconian]**
One survived?
**[12:27] Coachman A [Franconian]**
S'right.
**[12:28] Coachman A [Franconian]**
'E was shakin' in fear an' cryin' out:
"Th' werewolves're comin'!"
**[12:34] Sebastian [Franconian]**
Where is this person?
**[12:36] Coachman A [Franconian]**
Was some rich boy, son o' the Briegels, as lives
on th' outskirts o' th' village, but he i'nt there now.
**[12:47] Coachman A [Franconian]**
Law came'n took 'im t'big hospital,
same as th' dead man.
**[12:56] Coachman A [Franconian]**
Can't go lettin' 'im infect no one.
**[13:00] Sebastian**
There is a survivor,
but his mind was so deeply disturbed,
**[13:04] Sebastian**
he kept saying werewolves
were coming for him.
**[13:07] Ciel**
So he actually saw a werewolf?
**[13:09] Sebastian**
Officials came and took him to a major hospital,
along with another victim who died.
**[13:14] Sebastian**
Shall I search all the hospitals in the country?
**[13:17] Ciel**
No need. It's no use conversing with
someone whose mind is so confused.
**[13:21] Ciel**
It would be faster to go to
the Werewolves' Forest ourselves.
**[13:25] Sebastian**
He refuses to drive us there,
no matter how much we offer him, my lord.
**[13:30] Ciel**
Then, ask him this:
**[13:34] Ciel**
How much for a carriage?
**[13:39] Baldroy**
My arse hurts.
**[13:41] Mey-Rin**
Baldo! That's vulgar, yes!
**[13:43] Baldroy**
But we've been sittin' here for over a day.
**[13:49] Baldroy**
Pretty unusual for the young master
to bring us with him, huh?
**[13:53] Mey-Rin**
Yes, yes.
**[13:58] Boy A**
Excuse me! Give us the ball back, please!
**[14:02] Finnian**
Okay!
**[14:03] Finnian**
Here it comes!
**[14:07] Finnian**
Sorry!
**[14:08] Snake**
"You speak German?"
**[14:11] Snake**
...says Donne.
**[14:14] Finnian**
Yeah, a little.
**[14:16] Sebastian**
Everyone.
**[14:18] Sebastian**
We've procured carriages.
Please load our luggage.
**[14:28] Mey-Rin**
So this is the Werewolves' Forest, yes...
**[14:30] Finnian**
It's so creepy!
**[14:32] Baldroy**
I can believe it's cursed.
**[14:40] Sebastian**
I see the compass is malfunctioning.
**[14:43] Ciel**
There may be mineral resources underground.
**[14:47] Sebastian**
Or there may be a curse.
**[14:52] Ciel**
You're saying that, too?
**[14:53] Sebastian**
You're attended by a demon,
and you've met grim reapers.
**[14:57] Sebastian**
I find it odd you don't believe in curses.
**[15:00] Sebastian**
In fact...
**[15:02] Sebastian**
What connects the two of us
is a curse in its own right.
**[15:08] Ciel**
Still, all the "witches" were mere humans
falsely convicted in ludicrous trials.
**[15:14] Ciel**
It's not as though they literally flew
around in the sky and summoned storms.
**[15:18] Ciel**
It's odder to believe in
supernatural powers like curses.
**[15:23] Ciel**
Or, well... I think it is.
**[15:26] Sebastian**
Who can say?
**[15:29] Ciel**
Have you ever met a real witch, then?
**[15:32] Sebastian**
Yes. Long ago, I met
several individuals called that.
**[15:37] Ciel**
Did they summon you to
a Witches' Sabbath and worship you?
**[15:41] Sebastian**
I very much doubt demon worship
was the purpose of the historical Sabbaths.
**[15:49] Sebastian**
Perhaps they were more accurately gatherings
of wicked adults who wanted to escape reality
**[15:54] Sebastian**
by indulging in debauchery.
**[15:56] Sebastian**
No human can summon one of us
**[16:00] Sebastian**
unless they are prepared to offer
their soul in exchange for their wish.
**[16:04] Sebastian**
Some of us have been known
to appear on a whim, though.
**[16:07] Ciel**
Are you...
**[16:09] Sebastian**
Am I what?
**[16:11] Ceil**
Never mind.
**[16:13] Sebastian**
Goodness.
**[16:14] Sebastian**
Look, young master. There's a building ahead.
**[16:23] Ciel**
So there really is a village in this forest.
**[16:29] Baldroy**
Nobody's here. Was this place abandoned?
**[16:32] Sebastian**
No. The houses have been maintained.
**[16:35] Sebastian**
There are definitely people living here.
**[16:37] Finnian**
Oi! Is anyone here?
**[16:43] Villager A**
Attention, everyone!
**[16:45] Villagers**
Intruders!
**[16:47] Baldroy**
A nice warm welcome.
**[16:53] Hilde**
What are you doing here? How did you get in?
**[16:56] Ciel**
*Are there no men in this village?*
**[16:59] Ciel**
* And the women's clothes*
* are centuries out of date!*
**[17:02] Ciel**
Tell them we want to speak
with the lord of this land.
**[17:05] Sebastian**
At once.
**[17:06] Sebastian**
We don't want any trouble.
**[17:08] Sebastian**
I'd like to see your lord.
**[17:11] Hilde**
What?
**[17:12] Hilde**
Our lord?
**[17:14] Villager B**
Could Sullivan be their target?
**[17:16] Sebastian**
Sullivan?
**[17:18] Ciel**
Oi, what are they saying?
**[17:20] Hilde**
Silence!
**[17:21] Hilde**
You must be informants.
**[17:23] Finnian**
Informants? No, that's not true...
**[17:26] Villager E**
We won't let any informants escape!
**[17:28] Villager C**
Don't let them leave here alive!
**[17:30] Villagers**
Death to the informants!
**[17:35] Wolfram**
What's all this commotion?
**[17:39] Villager A**
S-Sullivan!
**[17:41] Hilde**
Forgive us for allowing intruders into our village.
**[17:46] Sebastian**
Are you Sullivan, the leader of this village?
**[17:49] Sullivan**
Indeed.
**[17:51] Sullivan**
I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
**[17:55] Sullivan**
the ruler of this forest.
**[18:02] Sullivan**
I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
the ruler of this forest.
**[18:07] Ciel**
*This child is their leader?*
**[18:15] Wolfram**
Where the hell're *you* from?
**[18:19] Sebastian**
Pardon?
**[18:19] Sullivan**
Stop that, Wolfram.
**[18:21] Wolfram**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[18:22] Sullivan**
I apologize. We haven't had
visitors from outside in some time.
**[18:26] Sullivan**
And...
**[18:32] Ciel**
*Wh-What is it?*
**[18:36] Wolfram**
I don't know how you got here,
**[18:38] Wolfram**
but this is Wolfsschlucht, the "Wolf's Valley."
**[18:42] Wolfram**
No outsiders are permitted to stay here.
**[18:46] Wolfram**
Now get out!
**[18:49] Ciel**
We'd better withdraw for now
and come up with a strategy.
**[18:52] Sebastian**
Quite.
**[18:54] Sebastian**
We understand. In that case,
we'll take our leave—
**[18:57] Hilde**
Halt!
**[19:00] Wolfram**
You lot don't seem to realize how lucky you
were to get through the forest uninjured.
**[19:08] Sebastian**
What might that mean?
**[19:11] Wolfram**
Don't act like you don't know.
**[19:14] Wolfram**
This forest is under werewolf protection.
**[19:17] Sebastian**
May I take that as confirmation that this is
the "witches' forest" mentioned in folklore?
**[19:26] Hilde**
Herr Wolfram, these people are
dangerous. We must dispose of—
**[19:30] Sullivan**
Stop.
**[19:35] Wolfram**
Young mistress, that's...
**[19:38] Sullivan**
So you won't do as I say?
**[19:41] Wolfram**
I will.
**[19:43] Wolfram**
Listen closely. If you turn back now,
night will fall before you're clear of the forest.
**[19:49] Wolfram**
That forest is incredibly dangerous at night.
**[19:52] Wolfram**
There's no guarantee you'd make it through
safely this time. Rather, you'd stand no chance.
**[19:59] Wolfram**
Therefore...
**[20:00] Wolfram**
We will make a special exception
and allow you to stay for one night.
**[20:04] Wolfram**
We'll lend you rooms.
Leave here as soon as the sun rises—
**[20:08] Hilde**
Herr Wolfram! You can't invite
outsiders into the Emerald Castle!
**[20:12] Wolfram**
Hilde, the young mistress asks this of us.
**[20:15] Villager D**
Hilde...
**[20:16] Ciel**
What's happening?
**[20:18] Sebastian**
The leader will allow us to
stay the night at her estate.
**[20:23] Wolfram**
That is my mistress's home:
the Emerald Castle.
**[20:27] Wolfram**
Follow me.
**[20:32] Ciel**
First, he says "Leave,"
then he says "Stay." What's this about?
**[20:36] Sebastian**
I don't know.
**[20:38] Sebastian**
However, this village certainly
seems worth investigating.
**[20:44] Mey-Rin**
What is this place?!
**[20:46] Snake**
"It's full of torture devices!"
**[20:48] Snake**
...says Wilde.
**[20:50] Sebastian**
Those devices were used
during the witch trials.
**[20:53] Ciel**
This is getting more and more occult.
**[20:56] Sullivan**
Oi, shorty.
**[20:58] Sullivan**
What's your name?
**[21:01] Sebastian**
Oh, dear. It was rude not
to introduce ourselves.
**[21:05] Sebastian**
She's asking your name, my lord.
**[21:07] Ciel**
I'm Ciel Phantomhive.
**[21:10] Ciel**
* Somehow, I get the feeling*
* she said something rude to me.*
**[21:14] Sullivan**
Age?
**[21:15] Sebastian**
My young master is 13 years old.
**[21:18] Sullivan**
Hmm.
**[21:27] Baldroy**
We're up high! Fall from here, and you're dead.
**[21:33] Wolfram**
We've arrived.
**[21:36] Wolfram**
This is the Emerald Castle.

Yay, unknown flowers!
I've never seen *these* before!
**[02:17] Sullivan**
Be careful.
**[02:18] Sullivan**
Those are poisonous. Your fingers
will swell up if you touch one.
**[02:22] Finnian**
Right!
**[02:39] Wolfram**
This way.
**[02:45] Sebastian**
Wait there.
**[02:47] Mey-Rin; Finnian**
Right!
**[02:47] Baldroy**
Sure.
**[02:55] Sullivan**
I haven't had guests in ages.
I'll treat you to dinner.
**[02:59] Sebastian**
You are most kind.
**[03:03] Sullivan**
Wolfram, prepare dinner and
show the servants to their rooms.
**[03:07] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[03:17] Ciel**
*My theory was correct.*
**[03:20] Ciel**
* Her feet are so tiny*
* because they were bound.*
**[03:24] Ciel**
*Lau told me about foot-binding once.*
**[03:26] Ciel**
* Tightly binding a girl's feet from*
* a young age to decrease their size*
**[03:31] Ciel**
*is a custom unique to China, he said.*
**[03:35] Ciel**
*Why do it in Germany?*
**[03:37] Ciel**
*And why was it practiced on the local ruler?*
**[03:41] Sullivan**
You there.
**[03:44] Ciel**
Me?
**[03:45] Sebastian**
I'm sorry. My young master hasn't
quite mastered German yet.
**[03:52] Sullivan**
I see.
**[04:12] Ciel**
Oi, say something, will you?
Conversing with women is your specialty.
**[04:16] Sebastian**
What would you have me say?
**[04:23] Sullivan**
That is the body's signal
to encourage you to eat.
**[04:27] Ciel**
*She's not shy about how loud that was?*
**[04:30] Sebastian**
Wolfram is taking quite a while.
Could something have happened?
**[04:34] Sullivan**
He is taking longer than usual, yes.
**[04:37] Sebastian**
May I go take a look in the kitchen?
**[04:40] Sullivan**
Very well.
**[04:41] Sebastian**
Then, please excuse me for a few minutes.
**[04:43] Ciel**
What? Wait—
**[04:45] Ciel**
* What?! How do you expect me*
* to interact with her by myself?*
**[04:52] Ciel**
*This is awkward.*
**[04:54] Sign**
Hey, you.
**[04:56] Sign**
××× black hair ×× man ×× name?
**[04:59] Ciel**
Um...
**[05:01] Ciel**
* Wait. I can actually make out*
* the key words if I don't panic.*
**[05:06] Ciel**
* "Black hair" and "man."*
* Does she mean Sebastian?*
**[05:10] Sign**
Sebastian, I, butler. You understand?
**[05:17] Ciel**
*I communicated!*
**[05:19] Sign**
Where ××× ××× parents?
**[05:20] Ciel**
*My parents?*
**[05:23] Sign**
Parents... gone. Dead.
**[05:30] Sign**
Hmm.
**[05:32] Ciel**
*Come back, Sebastian!*
**[05:43] Sebastian**
Pardon my intrusion.
**[05:45] Wolfram**
What do you want?
**[05:47] Sebastian**
Dinner seems to be taking a while,
so I wanted to offer my assist—
**[05:53] Wolfram**
That won't be necessary.
**[05:54] Wolfram**
I've just finished measuring the
ingredients according to the book.
**[05:57] Sebastian**
I-I see.
**[05:59] Sebastian**
Still, Fräulein Sullivan claims to be
extremely hungry. Perhaps it's best to hurry.
**[06:07] Wolfram**
My young mistress?
**[06:09] Wolfram**
Then I won't argue. Please assist me.
**[06:12] Sebastian**
Of course.
**[06:14] Wolfram**
I'll make Maultaschen.
Could you knead the bread dough?
**[06:19] Sebastian**
Eh?
**[06:20] Wolfram**
What is it?
**[06:21] Sebastian**
Nothing. Leave it to me.
**[06:26] Sebastian**
*Wouldn't one normally knead the dough first,*
**[06:29] Sebastian**
* then work on the rest of the menu*
* while the bread bakes?*
**[06:34] Sebastian**
Pardon me, but is the soup ready?
**[06:37] Wolfram**
No, I plan to make it when we're done with this.
Doing it all at once confuses matters.
**[06:43] Sebastian**
If I may be so bold,
could I help with that, too?
**[06:47] Wolfram**
Hmm? All right.
**[06:49] Sebastian**
* I thought those three had*
* inured me to human foibles,*
**[06:53] Sebastian**
*but he seems to be a new type.*
**[06:56] Sebastian**
* He makes every effort possible,*
* yet only achieves maximum inefficiency.*
**[07:02] Sebastian**
* I never imagined someone would complete*
* each dish before starting on the next.*
**[07:07] Sebastian**
*Dinner will be a midnight affair at this rate.*
**[07:10] Baldroy**
Hiya, Sebastian. Want us to help with—
**[07:12] Sebastian**
No, thank you.
**[07:14] Sebastian**
You must be exhausted from the trip.
**[07:16] Sebastian**
Please just relax and
don't do anything unnecessary.
**[07:21] Mey-Rin**
Sebastian, you're so kind, yes!
**[07:25] Sebastian**
And now...
**[07:27] Sebastian**
To work.
**[07:30] Sebastian**
Maultaschen, Bratwurst soup, and Eisbein.
**[07:35] Sebastian**
Dessert will be a nice rote Grütze.
**[07:39] Sullivan**
Well, this is quite...
**[07:42] Sullivan**
...an excellent meal. Well done, Wolf.
**[07:46] Wolfram**
Well, um... his butler helped.
**[07:51] Sebastian**
You're hosting us for the night.
It was only proper.
**[07:55] Sebastian**
A Phantomhive butler who can't provide
this level of assistance isn't worth his salt.
**[08:01] Sullivan**
Let's try it.
**[08:05] Sullivan**
Delicious!
**[08:07] Sullivan**
I've never had such soft bread!
**[08:12] Ciel**
Wh-What table manners.
**[08:14] Sebastian**
She doesn't believe in putting on airs, I see.
**[08:19] Hilde**
Herr Wolfram, emergency!
**[08:21] Wolfram**
What's wrong, Hilde?
**[08:26] Hilde**
A...
**[08:28] Hilde**
A werewolf has appeared.
**[08:36] Ciel**
A werewolf?
**[08:37] Hilde**
A woman has been terribly hurt.
Fräulein Sullivan, please help her.
**[08:41] Sullivan**
I'll go now.
**[08:42] Sullivan**
Wolf!
**[08:43] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[08:46] Wolfram**
You two stay here.
**[08:48] Sebastian**
No, please allow us to come with you.
**[08:50] Sebastian**
We'd like to know what threats
the forest holds before we go home.
**[09:03] Wolfram**
Clear the way!
**[09:05] Village woman A**
Fräulein Sullivan!
**[09:07] Village woman B**
Fräulein Sullivan, please help!
**[09:13] Sullivan**
Th-These wounds are...
**[09:17] Sullivan**
No werewolf has ever attacked
someone from this village before.
**[09:22] Wolfram**
Young mistress, stop the bleeding!
**[09:25] Sullivan**
This will hurt a bit.
**[09:37] Sullivan**
Where's your talisman?
**[09:38] Village woman 1**
Sh-She left it behind, since she only
intended to pick some herbs nearby.
**[09:42] Sullivan**
The fool!
**[09:43] Sullivan**
How many times have I told you to
always keep your talismans with you?
**[09:47] Wolfram**
It may still be nearby. Light more torches!
**[09:50] Villagers**
Right!
**[09:51] Villager**
Hurry!
**[09:57] Ciel**
*What's going on here?*
**[09:59] Ciel**
* Don't tell me there truly are*
* werewolves in the forest?*
**[10:02] Ciel**
*Certainly not.*
**[10:05] Ciel**
What do you think?
**[10:06] Sebastian**
I can't come to any conclusions
from the wounds alone.
**[10:09] Sebastian**
Shall I search the forest right away?
**[10:12] Ciel**
No, stay. Don't make any suspicious moves yet.
**[10:16] Crone**
It's Herr Werwolf's wrath!
**[10:19] Crone**
He is enraged that outsiders
have intruded on the forest!
**[10:24] Crone**
Leave at once, outsiders!
**[10:26] Sullivan**
It's because she wasn't carrying her talisman!
She wouldn't have been attacked otherwise!
**[10:31] Crone**
No werewolf has ever
personally injured any of us before.
**[10:37] Crone**
You defend the outsiders, Emerald Witch?
**[10:42] Crone**
Do not forget the countless atrocities
**[10:44] Crone**
that outsiders inflicted on
our ancestors, Emerald Witch.
**[10:48] Crone**
Never trust anyone from the outside.
**[10:51] Crone**
You must never forget your ancestors' grudge!
**[10:54] Crone**
You must never forget your gratitude
and dread of Herr Werwolf!
**[10:57] Sullivan**
But I—
**[10:59] Crone**
Foolish outsiders.
Herr Werwolf's rage is your fault.
**[11:04] Crone**
All of this is your fault.
**[11:07] Crone**
Your fault! *Yours*!
**[11:12] Crone**
Leave now, unless you want him
to tear you limb from limb!
**[11:26] Wolfram**
Stay in your homes until morning!
**[11:29] Wolfram**
I assume you understand now?
**[11:32] Wolfram**
If you value your lives,
don't go into the forest uninvited.
**[11:35] Wolfram**
Ever.
**[11:47] Ciel**
Make it strong. We may be up all night.
**[11:50] Sebastian**
Very good, my lord.
**[12:04] Sebastian**
In that case, please have it plain.
**[12:12] Ciel**
I didn't expect there
to truly be werewolf victims.
**[12:16] Ciel**
But that was different from what Chlaus—
**[12:31] Ciel**
You?
**[12:35] Sebastian**
My goodness, Fräulein Sullivan.
You came alone, without your servant?
**[12:41] Sullivan**
I-I can walk by myself with these
Hexenballons. At least in the castle.
**[12:47] Sebastian**
I see.
**[12:51] Sebastian**
Still...
**[12:53] Sebastian**
It's not becoming of a lady to eavesdrop
outside a gentleman's room.
**[12:59] Sebastian**
May I ask your business here?
**[13:02] Sullivan**
*My* business? You're the ones
who have business with me.
**[13:08] Ciel**
What?
**[13:10] Sullivan**
I know full well what you're after.
I am a witch, you know.
**[13:15] Sebastian**
Oh? Then, I imagine you know what to do next.
**[13:21] Sebastian**
We'd rather not treat you roughly.
**[13:27] Sullivan**
From the moment you entered the village,
**[13:31] Sullivan**
I knew you would violate the secret room
I've kept tightly locked all of my 11 years tonight.
**[13:41] Sullivan**
I mentally prepared myself,
but my heart won't stop racing.
**[13:45] Sullivan**
Here!
**[13:49] Sullivan**
I didn't think my first time would be a threesome,
but all experience is valuable.
**[13:54] Sullivan**
Please be as gentle as possible.
**[13:56] Ciel**
Wh-What?!
**[13:59] Sullivan**
Oh, you must be worried
my clothes are too complicated.
**[14:03] Sullivan**
Start with the buttons—
**[14:04] Ciel**
No, stop. What are you doing?
**[14:08] Sullivan**
Ah, you like conquering the citadel yourself?
**[14:12] Sullivan**
You're manlier than you look.
**[14:13] Ciel**
What are you saying?!
**[14:15] Sebastian**
She asks if you'd prefer to be
the one to take her dress off.
**[14:19] Ciel**
Now what are *you* saying?!
**[14:20] Sullivan**
Oh, you like doing it fully clothed?
**[14:23] Sebastian**
Ah, young master, you have
interesting preferences for your age.
**[14:26] Ciel**
I may not know much German,
but I *do* know there's been a misunderstanding!
**[14:31] Sullivan**
Don't tell me you're...
**[14:38] Sullivan**
Well, you're male, at least.
**[14:41] Ciel**
Sod off!
**[14:49] Sebastian**
A-Are you all right, Fräulein Sullivan?
**[14:56] Sullivan**
It's beyond boorish to shame
a young maiden like that!
**[14:59] Ciel**
Eh?! I said I'm not fluent in German, you harlot!
**[15:03] Sebastian**
Now, now, you two.
**[15:07] Sebastian**
Enjoying yourselves in bed
is a fine way to spend time,
**[15:11] Sebastian**
but perhaps you'd prefer
to enjoy these for now?
**[15:20] Sullivan**
I've read that the male of a species
has carnal appetites that are never sated.
**[15:27] Sebastian**
Well, that is true of *some* men.
**[15:31] Sullivan**
Wolfsschlucht only has female residents,
**[15:34] Sullivan**
so I've never actually met a man before.
**[15:36] Sebastian**
Isn't Wolfram a man?
**[15:40] Sullivan**
He's more like my guard dog.
**[15:42] Sebastian**
I see.
**[15:44] Sebastian**
Speaking of dogs, the villagers all seem
rather afraid of someone called "Herr Werwolf."
**[15:51] Sebastian**
What does that term refer to?
**[15:57] Sullivan**
Have you heard of witch hunts?
**[15:59] Sebastian**
Yes.
**[16:01] Sullivan**
Long ago, witches were accused
of causing various calamities.
**[16:05] Sullivan**
They were subjected to a form of torture
called a "witch trial," then killed.
**[16:09] Sullivan**
The torture instruments you saw
in the square are from that time.
**[16:14] Sullivan**
A witch's true occupation is
to prevent disasters with magic,
**[16:19] Sullivan**
and heal people with herbs.
**[16:21] Sullivan**
But they were branded as heretics and oppressed
by humans more and more as time went on,
**[16:27] Sullivan**
until they fled for their lives
into this forest.
**[16:31] Sullivan**
Legend has it that to protect the others,
**[16:36] Sullivan**
one witch made a pact with a werewolf,
offering him her own legs.
**[16:44] Sullivan**
That was my ancestor,
who was known as the Emerald Witch.
**[16:52] Sullivan**
That's why each successive ruler's feet
are bound until she can't walk.
**[16:57] Ciel**
Why did a werewolf attack a villager, then?
Doesn't that violate the pact?
**[17:03] Sullivan**
It's been hundreds of years
since that pact was formed.
**[17:08] Sullivan**
The original Emerald Witch died long ago.
**[17:12] Sullivan**
I imagine this happened because
our blood has diluted over the years.
**[17:16] Sebastian**
In other words,
**[17:18] Sebastian**
this village is no longer protected
by werewolves, but imprisoned by them.
**[17:26] Sullivan**
Perhaps so.
**[17:29] Sullivan**
Thanks to that, I've never left
this village in my life,
**[17:34] Sullivan**
and I don't think I ever will.
**[17:37] Sullivan**
You are going home tomorrow, correct?
**[17:41] Sullivan**
I'd like you to tell me about the outside
world first. About the world I don't know.
**[17:47] Sebastian**
It seems her actions earlier sprang from
an eagerness to become friendly with us.
**[17:54] Sebastian**
She is all-important in this village.
**[17:57] Sebastian**
Wouldn't making friends with her
also benefit our investigation?
**[18:02] Ciel**
All right, fine.
**[18:07] Sign**
Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
**[18:16] Sebastian**
In my young master's country,
people shake hands to grow closer.
**[18:21] Sebastian**
Like this.
**[18:25] Sullivan**
Oh, that reminds me. These are for you two.
**[18:30] Sullivan**
Talismans to ward off werewolves.
**[18:31] Sullivan**
Wear them on your way home.
I give you special permission.
**[18:34] Ciel**
Thank you.
**[18:36] Sullivan**
N-Now then!
**[18:38] Sullivan**
You should teach me what you meant
by "enjoying ourselves in bed."
**[18:44] Sebastian**
Ah, yes, I do recall saying that.
**[18:47] Sebastian**
What shall we do, young master?
**[18:50] Ciel**
She's a child. We'll do nothing of the sort.
**[18:53] Ciel**
Have her play with some toys.
**[18:55] Sebastian**
The young master would
like to introduce toys.
**[18:57] Sullivan**
What?! That's rather daring for a first time.
**[19:00] Ciel**
What was *that* reaction?
Clearly there's been a misunderstanding!
**[19:14] Ciel**
Sh-She's finally asleep.
**[19:16] Sebastian**
You worked hard today.
**[19:18] Ciel**
Simple words allow one to make
more conversation than I thought.
**[19:22] Ciel**
And it's easier to understand her accent
than the coachman's, somehow.
**[19:26] Sebastian**
I'm sure it is.
**[19:32] Wolfram**
Pardon my young mistress's intrusion.
**[19:35] Sebastian**
She just fell asleep.
**[19:49] Wolfram**
Forget whatever she said to you.
**[19:52] Wolfram**
You'll leave at dawn.
**[19:55] Wolfram**
Understood?
**[20:12] Ciel**
What thick fog.
**[20:13] Sebastian**
Watch your step.
**[20:18] Sebastian**
*It's too quiet. I can't sense any animals.*
**[20:22] Sebastian**
*I've never felt air this heavy, either.*
**[20:26] Sebastian**
Young master, stay by my—
**[20:30] Sebastian**
Young master?!
**[20:33] Ciel**
Why am I crying?
**[20:35] Sebastian**
What in the world is the matter?
**[20:36] Sebastian**
Ah, you mustn't rub your eyes so much.
**[20:39] Ciel**
I don't know where the tears
are coming from.
**[20:42] Ciel**
Blast.
**[20:47] Ciel**
A-A werewolf?
**[20:50] Ciel**
Let's follow, Sebastian!
**[20:51] Sebastian**
Wait, my lord!
**[20:53] Sebastian**
Something is off about this forest.
**[20:55] Sebastian**
I have a feeling of foreboding.
**[20:57] Sebastian**
I'll chase the werewolf myself.
**[20:59] Sebastian**
You wait in your room, young master.
**[21:05] Ciel**
All right.
**[21:14] Sebastian**
* I've been in the human realm*
* for a long time,*
**[21:17] Sebastian**
*but I've never felt a miasma like this.*
**[21:21] Sebastian**
*What could this be?*
**[21:28] Sebastian**
*What?*

**[00:00] Sebastian**
Germany, my lord?
**[00:03] Ciel**
Yes. Her Majesty has
ordered me to investigate
**[00:06] Ciel**
a series of suspicious deaths in Germany.
**[00:10] Chlaus**
Whatever it was affected
men and women of all ages,
**[00:15] Chlaus**
but the victims did
have one thing in common.
**[00:17] Chlaus**
The "Werewolves' Forest."
**[00:20] Sebastian**
The Werewolves' Forest?
**[00:24] Chlaus**
Yes. They say everyone
who sets foot in it is cursed.
**[00:30] Hilde**
What are you doing here? How did you get in?
**[00:31] Ciel**
*Are there no men in this village?*
**[00:33] Ciel**
* And the women's clothes*
* are centuries out of date!*
**[00:36] Sullivan**
I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
the ruler of this forest.
**[00:41] Wolfram**
Where the hell're *you* from?
**[00:44] Sebastian**
Please excuse me for a few minutes.
**[00:46] Ciel**
* What?! How do you expect me*
* to interact with her by myself?*
**[00:49] Sign**
Hey, you.
**[00:51] Sign**
××× black hair ×× man ×× name?
**[00:53] Ciel**
Um...
**[00:55] Ciel**
* Wait. I can actually make out*
* the key words if I don't panic.*
**[00:59] Sign**
Where ××× ××× parents?
**[01:02] Sign**
Parents... gone. Dead.
**[01:07] Sign**
Hmm.
**[01:08] Sebastian**
"Herr Werwolf." What does that term refer to?
**[01:11] Sullivan**
Have you heard of witch hunts?
**[01:13] Sullivan**
Witches were branded as heretics and oppressed
by humans more and more as time went on.
**[01:17] Sullivan**
Legend has it that to protect the others,
**[01:21] Sullivan**

offering him her own legs.
**[01:26] Sullivan**
That's why each successive ruler's feet

**[01:30] Hilde**
A...
**[01:31] Hilde**
A werewolf has appeared.
**[01:38] Sullivan**
Where's your talisman?
**[01:39] Crone**
It's Herr Werwolf's wrath!
**[01:42] Crone**
Leave now, unless you want him
to tear you limb from limb!
**[01:48] Sebastian**
It's not becoming of a lady to eavesdrop
outside a gentleman's room.
**[01:52] Sebastian**
May I ask your business here?
**[01:54] Sullivan**
I'd like you to tell me about
the outside world that I don't know.
**[01:59] Ciel**
All right, fine.
**[02:03] Ciel**
Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
**[02:08] Sullivan**
Oh, that reminds me. These are for you two.
**[02:11] Sullivan**

I'll chase the werewolf myself.
**[02:24] Sebastian**
You wait in your room, young master.
**[02:29] Sebastian**
*What?*
**[02:39] Sebastian**
*Me*, crying?
**[02:42] Sebastian**
Demons aren't endowed with
the emotions that lead one to cry.
**[02:55] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Have you seen a cursed person?
**[02:58] (Flashback) Coachman A**
'Course I 'as! Right terrible sight.
**[03:04] (Flashback) Coachman A**
Faces swell'd up twice 'eir size
an' skin all meltin'.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Coachman A**
One o' 'em died right there an' th' one
'oo lived went doolally from th' shock.
**[03:19] Sebastian**
Don't tell me this is...
**[03:24] Sebastian**
* If it's true that those who see*
* a werewolf are cursed...*
**[03:29] Sebastian**
Young master!

Emerald Witch Arc
**[06:00] Sebastian**
Young master!
**[06:02] Ciel**
My body is on fire!
**[06:06] Sebastian**
*This is the curse?*
**[06:17] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan!
**[06:18] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan, please help!
**[06:22] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan!
**[06:24] Sebastian**
Please help, Fräulein Sullivan!
**[06:25] Sullivan**
What is it? Here for a carnal visit?
**[06:30] Sullivan**
Your faces!
**[06:33] Sullivan**
You entered the forest, didn't you?
**[06:35] Sebastian**
I apologise.
**[06:37] Sebastian**
Later, I'll suffer whatever
punishment you deem fit.
**[06:40] Sebastian**
Just please save my young master.
**[06:42] Wolfram**
Young mistress! What's the matter?!
**[06:46] Wolfram**
You scoundrels...
**[06:47] Sullivan**
Wolf, the purification ritual!
**[06:50] Sullivan**
Prepare the cauldron room!
**[06:57] Sullivan**
Hurry! We haven't got much time!
**[06:59] Sullivan**
Undress him and put him in the cauldron!
**[07:02] Sullivan**
Quickly! Into the cauldron! Both of you!
**[07:06] Sullivan**
When did you enter the forest?
**[07:08] Sebastian**
About 15 minutes ago.
**[07:10] Sullivan**
Blast. That's really pushing it.
**[07:12] Sullivan**
Wolf, boil some water!
And bring me more herbs for the tonic!
**[07:16] Wolfram**
Ja!
**[07:19] Sullivan**
While I'm reciting the incantation,
submerge your whole bodies in the water.
**[07:22] Sullivan**
Don't come up until I tell you.
**[07:24] Sebastian**
Understood.
**[07:34] Sullivan**
O three goddesses of Fate,
**[07:37] Sullivan**
transform this water into
the blessed Wellspring of Urðr.
**[07:59] Sullivan**
Done.
**[08:02] Sebastian**
What next?
**[08:03] Sullivan**
Internal purification.
**[08:05] Sullivan**
Make him drink this tonic,
then cough it back up.
**[08:08] Sullivan**
Take this.
**[08:08] Sebastian**
Thank you.
**[08:11] Sebastian**
Pardon me, young master.
**[08:16] Sullivan**
Make him expel it now.
**[08:17] Sebastian**
Yes, Fräulein.
**[08:21] Sullivan**
Do you feel any nausea?
**[08:23] Sebastian**
Forget about me. Attend to my young master!
**[08:26] Sullivan**
Then, do it again.
**[08:29] Ciel**
Stop...
**[08:32] Ciel**
*What's happening?*
**[08:35] Ciel**
*I can't breathe.*
**[08:37] Ciel**
*It hurts.*
**[08:38] Ciel**
*I'm cold.*
**[08:40] Ciel**
*Please...*
**[08:43] Ciel**
*Please stop.*
**[09:06] (Flashback) Human trafficker A**
All right, brats! Grub's up!
**[09:12] (Flashback) Human trafficker A**
No plates for you lot. Open wide!
**[09:22] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
Oi! Don't spill it!
**[09:25] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
We especially can't let *you* lads die on us.
**[09:29] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
So eat up.
**[09:34] Ciel**
*No.*
**[09:36] Ciel**
*I can't breathe. I'm scared.*
**[09:42] Ciel**
*Save me, Father... Mother...*
**[09:50] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
Next!
**[09:52] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
Hmm?
**[09:53] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
This urchin's dead.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Human trafficker**
Damn. Those nobles play too rough with 'em!
**[10:01] Ciel**
*Will I end up like that, too?*
**[10:06] (Flashback) Mysterious Boy**
It's all right. I'll protect you.
**[10:13] Ciel**
*Oh, that's right. I have you.*
**[10:20] Ciel**
*You're warm.*
**[10:26] (Flashback) Ciel**
No! Don't take him!
**[10:40] Sebastian**
Young master!
**[10:44] Sebastian**
You had me worried, my lord.
**[10:47] Finnian**
I'm so glad you're all right, young master!
**[10:52] Baldroy**
That took years off my life.
**[10:55] Tanaka**
Mine as well.
**[10:57] Mey-Rin**
How are you feeling, Master Ciel?
**[11:01] Ciel**
Ciel?
**[11:06] Sebastian**
Young master, what's the matter?
**[11:14] Ciel**
N-No!
**[11:16] Ciel**
Ciel... No more pain!
**[11:20] Ciel**
It's dark. Where are we?
**[11:23] Ciel**
I'm scared.
**[11:25] Sebastian**
What do you mean? It isn't dark in here.
**[11:33] Ciel**
Who's there? I can't see anything!
**[11:39] Sebastian**
Does that mean...
**[11:41] Tanaka**
I believe he has lost his sight.
**[11:47] Ciel**
Someone bring a light.
**[12:00] Mey-Rin**
My poor young master's eyes!
**[12:04] Baldroy**
Enough. Stop cryin'. You'll jinx him.
**[12:08] Baldroy**
It might just be temporary.
**[12:11] Snake**
"We can't even look after him while
he's in this state, though." ...says Keats.
**[12:18] Baldroy**
Yeah. S'bad enough he rejected us,
but rejectin' *Sebastian*?
**[12:23] Baldroy**
What the hell happened to him?
**[12:26] Baldroy**
And I don't get why Finny's
the only one he's okay with.
**[12:30] Tanaka**
What now, Sebastian?
**[12:34] Sebastian**
He has ordered me not to touch him,
so I mustn't touch him.
**[12:41] Sebastian**
For now, let's wait until
Fräulein Sullivan rises and seek her advice.
**[12:47] Sebastian**
The rest of you try to get a little sleep.
**[12:52] Mey-Rin**
What will you do?
**[12:54] Sebastian**
I have some business to take care of.
**[13:07] Sebastian**
* That strange miasma is gone, but there's*
* still no sign of any living creatures.*
**[13:19] Sebastian**
* No evil entity's miasma*
* should be able to affect me.*
**[13:23] Sebastian**
* So what exactly was it?*
* And who was that "werewolf"?*
**[13:35] Sebastian**
At any rate,
**[13:37] Sebastian**
I'd better obtain permission to stay in
Wolfsschlucht until the young master recovers.
**[13:44] Sebastian**
Dear me.
**[13:47] Sebastian**
This opponent may be a difficult one.
**[13:57] Sebastian**
I apologise for causing you
so much trouble last night.
**[14:01] Sebastian**
As a token of my contrition,
**[14:03] Sebastian**
I took the liberty of
preparing mid-morning tea.
**[14:07] Sebastian**
Bon appétit.
**[14:11] Sullivan**
It's so good!
**[14:13] Sebastian**
Try this too, Fräulein Sullivan.
**[14:16] Sullivan**
What is this? It's delicious!
**[14:18] Sebastian**
It's the finest...
**[14:23] Sullivan**
I see.
**[14:25] Sullivan**
So the miasma blinded him.
**[14:28] Sebastian**
Will he regain his sight?
**[14:31] Sullivan**
I'd have to examine him to say for certain,
**[14:35] Sullivan**
but you say he isn't letting anyone close.
**[14:37] Sebastian**
Actually, for some reason,
he allows our gardener to touch him.
**[14:43] Sullivan**
Hmm. So he prefers them somewhere
between brawny and bouncy?
**[14:48] Sullivan**
He really has rather *particular* tastes.
**[14:50] Sebastian**
I beg your pardon?
**[14:52] Sullivan**
Uh, never mind.
**[14:57] Sullivan**
The forest's miasma weakens
the human spirit and amplifies fear.
**[15:03] Sullivan**
There may be a reason the gardener
is allowed near him while others are not.
**[15:07] Sebastian**
In that case, perhaps he is rejecting adults.
**[15:13] Sullivan**
Why?
**[15:14] Sebastian**
My young master has a past of his own.
**[15:20] Sullivan**
I see.
**[15:22] Sebastian**
Now, could you tell me
what the forest's miasma is?
**[15:26] Sullivan**
It's an evil magic exuded by werewolves.
**[15:32] Sullivan**
Those exposed to it become cursed
and deform into a beastlike appearance.
**[15:39] Sullivan**
The only way to lift the curse
**[15:41] Sullivan**
is by using a secret medicine
prepared by yours truly, the Emerald Witch.
**[15:46] Sebastian**
Ah.
**[15:48] Wolfram**
That's why I told you not to go in there!
**[15:51] Wolfram**
I told you so many times. Why did you go?!
**[15:55] Wolfram**
It's not as though werewolves
*want* to hurt every human they see!
**[15:59] Wolfram**
Why don't you understand that?!
**[16:00] Sullivan**
Stop that, Wolfram!
**[16:11] Sebastian**
You wonder why we went there?
**[16:14] Sebastian**
We've met more than our share
of demons and grim reapers,
**[16:18] Sebastian**
but we've never had the honour
of meeting a werewolf before.
**[16:22] Sebastian**
We were curious to find out
what one would be like.
**[16:27] Wolfram / Sullivan**
Pardon?
**[16:29] Sebastian**
At any rate, you are the only one
who can cure him, correct?
**[16:35] Sullivan**
Indeed.
**[16:38] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan,
please save my young master.
**[16:43] Sebastian**
If you will do that,
I will follow any order you give me.
**[16:51] Sullivan**
Very well.
**[16:53] Sullivan**
In that case, Sebastian,
until I finish healing Ciel...
**[16:58] Sullivan**
you will be my butler.
**[17:09] Ciel**
Stop it! Don't touch me!
**[17:12] Sebastian**
Young master, you'll hurt yourself
if you don't calm down.
**[17:17] Ciel**
Shut up! Go away!
**[17:21] Sebastian**
Very good, my lord.
**[17:31] Sebastian**
Still no good today.
**[17:36] Sebastian**
I'm not quite sure how long
it takes humans to recover, but...
**[17:41] Sebastian**
Perhaps it's been long enough.
**[17:44] Sebastian**
It wouldn't do to appear ugly
while serving a lady.
**[17:51] Sebastian**
That should do it.
**[17:53] Sebastian**
Now, then...
**[17:59] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Until I finish healing Ciel...
**[18:02] (Flashback) Sullivan**
you will be my butler.
**[18:05] (Flashback) Wolfram**
Don't do this, mistress!
**[18:07] (Flashback) Wolfram**
We don't know the first thing about this man!
**[18:10] (Flashback) Sullivan**
We never get visitors from the outside world.
**[18:13] (Flashback) Sullivan**
There is much I want to ask.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Sullivan**
I've made my decision.
**[18:17] Wolfram**
Young mi—
**[18:17] (Flashback) Sullivan**
He must hold me by the hand
and teach me many things.
**[18:22] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Hold me by the hand...
**[18:26] (Flashback) Sullivan**
More importantly, Wolf,
Sebastian is more skilled than you.
**[18:31] (Flashback) Sullivan**
You should learn from him along with me.
**[18:34] (Flashback) Wolfram**
Ja.
**[18:39] Sebastian**
Oh dear. It's time to prepare
the early-morning tea.
**[18:48] Sebastian**
Good morning, everyone.
**[18:50] Baldroy**
Mornin'.
**[18:50] Most servants**
Good morning!
**[18:50] Mey-Rin**
Good morning, yes!
**[18:53] Sebastian**
Guests?
**[18:54] Wolfram**
The women of the village bring us ingredients
and help the young mistress dress.
**[19:00] Sebastian**
Oh, I see.
**[19:02] Sebastian**
Allow me to introduce myself.
**[19:05] Sebastian**
My name is Sebastian, and I will temporarily
be serving as Fräulein Sullivan's butler.
**[19:14] Hilde**
I'm Hilde.
**[19:17] Grete**
Grete.
**[19:19] Anne**
I'm Anne.
**[19:22] Sebastian**
We'll be staying here for a while.
**[19:25] Sebastian**
If you have any tasks which require muscle,
let us know how we can help.
**[19:31] Sebastian**
Now, then. Time for today's staff meeting.
**[19:35] Sebastian**
Baldo, you start getting breakfast ready.
**[19:37] Baldroy**
On it.
**[19:39] Sebastian**
Snake, you polish the silver.
**[19:42] Snake**
"Understood." ...says Emily.
**[19:46] Sebastian**
Mey-Rin, you change the linens.
**[19:49] Mey-Rin**
Yes, yes!
**[19:50] Sebastian**
Finny, you look after the young master.
**[19:53] Finnian**
Right!
**[19:55] Finnian**
Wait, what?!
**[19:57] Finnian**
*Me*?!
**[20:00] Sebastian**
Right now, you're the only one who can.
**[20:05] Finnian**
Um, but, uh...
**[20:06] Sebastian**
If he's able to eat,
take him a light breakfast.
**[20:09] Finnian**
But...
**[20:10] Sebastian**
If he won't eat...
**[20:14] Sebastian**
...bring him some hot milk with honey.
**[20:17] Finnian**
Milk?
**[20:20] Sebastian**
When he was younger...
**[20:44] Sebastian**
...it was the most effective way to cajole him.
**[20:48] Sebastian**
I will be looking after Fräulein Sullivan.
**[20:52] Sebastian**
Tanaka, you carry on as usual.
**[20:55] Sebastian**
To your tasks, everyone.
**[21:11] Sebastian**
*Good grief.*
**[21:13] Sebastian**
*He seems ready to bite my head off.*
**[21:30] Sebastian**
Young mistress, it's time to wake up.

'Course I 'as!
**[00:06] (Flashback) Coachman A**
Faces swell'd up twice 'eir size

**[00:11] Ciel**
Se-bas-tian...
**[00:14] Sullivan**
Your faces! You entered the forest, didn't you?
**[00:18] Sullivan**
Wolf, the purification ritual!
**[00:19] Sullivan**
Prepare the cauldron room!
**[00:31] Sebastian**
Young master!
**[00:34] Ciel**
No!
**[00:35] Ciel**
Ciel... No more pain!
**[00:39] Ciel**
It's dark. Where are we?
**[00:41] Sebastian**
Does that mean...
**[00:42] Ciel**
I'm scared.
**[00:43] Tanaka**
I believe he has lost his sight.
**[00:46] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan,
please save my young master.
**[00:50] Sebastian**
If you will do that,
I will follow any order you give me.
**[00:57] Sullivan**
Very well.
**[00:58] Sullivan**
In that case, Sebastian,
until I finish healing Ciel...
**[01:03] Sullivan**
you will be my butler.
**[01:07] Sebastian**
My name is Sebastian, and I will temporarily

**[01:15] Hilde**
I'm Hilde.
**[01:16] Grete**
Grete.
**[01:17] Anne**
I'm Anne.
**[01:19] Sebastian**
Finny, you look after the young master.
**[01:23] Finnian**
Right!
**[01:24] Finnian**
Wait, what?!
**[01:25] Sebastian**
Right now, you're the only one who can.
**[01:28] Finnian**
Um, but, uh...
**[01:31] Sebastian**
Young mistress, it's time to wake up.
**[01:43] Sebastian**
Good morning, my lady.
**[01:53] Sebastian**
Today's tea is a Ceylon blend by Rommeveldt.
**[01:58] Sullivan**
I've never heard of Ceylon tea before.
**[02:01] Sebastian**
I hope it pleases you, my lady.
**[02:08] Sullivan**
It's good!
**[02:09] Sullivan**
And this is the first time
I've ever had a cup of tea in bed.
**[02:13] Sebastian**
It's a butler's job to make sure
his master wakes up refreshed.
**[02:20] Sullivan**
Take note, Wolf.
**[02:24] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[02:27] Sebastian**
All right, Fräulein Sullivan.
It's time to dress.
**[02:30] Sullivan**
I'd like to wear clothes
from the outside world today.
**[02:34] Hilde**
I beg your pardon, Fräulein Sullivan?
**[02:37] Sebastian**
None of the clothing we have brought
with us will be in my lady's size,
**[02:43] Sebastian**
except for my young master's.
**[02:44] Sullivan**
His will do nicely!
**[02:47] Hilde**
No, Fräulein, you mustn't wear male clothing.
And *especially* not someone else's garments.
**[02:52] Sullivan**
I don't see why not.
**[02:56] Sebastian**
Young mistress, may I have this bedcover?
**[03:00] Sullivan**
That's fine. But why?
**[03:06] Wolfram**
Wh-What are you going to do with *that*?
**[03:11] Sebastian**
I'll be back shortly.
**[03:19] Sullivan**
How wonderful, Sebastian!
**[03:23] Sebastian**
I'm happy I was able to please you.
**[03:26] Sullivan**
How did you make all this in so little time?
**[03:31] Sebastian**
That's a butler trade secret, I'm afraid.
**[03:35] Sebastian**
A skilled dressmaker could do better, though.
**[03:38] Sullivan**
No, I like this. It's easy to move in.
**[03:42] Sebastian**
Now, young mistress...
**[03:46] Sebastian**
...let's go to breakfast.
**[04:40] Sign**
Black Butler
**[04:42] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[05:56] Sullivan**
I didn't think it would be ready so soon!
**[05:59] Sullivan**
It's never like this with just Wolf.
**[06:01] Sullivan**
Now, let's eat.
**[06:02] Sebastian**
Wait, my lady.
**[06:04] Sebastian**
One must use silverware in the right order.
**[06:08] Sullivan**
O-Order?
**[06:09] Sebastian**
Yes.
**[06:11] Sebastian**
Silverware is arranged from
outside to inside in order of usage.
**[06:16] Sebastian**
When eating your salad,
use the knife and fork on the outside.
**[06:21] Sullivan**
I can eat with any of them,
so it's all the same to me.
**[06:24] Sebastian**
We shan't have that, young mistress.
**[06:26] Sebastian**
It's important for a ruler to
have the proper comportment.
**[06:30] Sebastian**
Forgive my rudeness,
**[06:33] Sebastian**
but your table manners
aren't those of a refined lady.
**[06:37] Wolfram**
You watch your tongue!
**[06:40] Sebastian**
Doting on and spoiling a young master
is not the butler's job.
**[06:48] Sebastian**
I've hardened my heart so that
I can say these things to Fräulein Sullivan
**[06:53] Sebastian**
to prevent her from
displaying ungraceful behaviour.
**[06:56] Sebastian**
Not to mention...
**[06:58] Sebastian**
It is always better to have more knowledge.
**[07:03] Sullivan**
Knowledge?
**[07:05] Sullivan**
That's a good point!
**[07:08] Sullivan**
Teach me more things, Sebastian!
**[07:12] Sebastian**
Very good, my lady.
**[07:16] Sullivan**
So this one is the salad fork. What else?
**[07:18] Sebastian**
Use this knife for butter.
**[07:23] Sullivan**
That was great. I'm very satisfied.
**[07:27] Sebastian**
Young mistress, if you're finished,
**[07:31] Sebastian**
you signal this by lining up
your silverware diagonally on the plate.
**[07:34] Sullivan**
Interesting.
**[07:38] Sullivan**
Like so?
**[07:40] Sebastian**
Perfect, my lady.
**[07:44] Sebastian**
What are your plans for the day?
**[07:46] Sullivan**
I want to ask you more questions.
**[07:49] Sebastian**
Very good, my lady.
**[07:51] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[07:52] Sullivan**
I'll still do all my duties
as the Emerald Witch.
**[07:56] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[08:06] Baldroy**
I don't like it.
**[08:08] Mey-Rin**
Like what?
**[08:10] Baldroy**
Sebastian! The bastard looks
like he doesn't even care.
**[08:14] Baldroy**
He oughta be at least a *little* worried.
**[08:18] Snake**
"I agree. He's cold." ...says Wilde.
**[08:23] Mey-Rin**
What's he supposed to do, yes?
**[08:26] Tanaka**
I imagine Sebastian has his reasons.
**[08:31] Snake**
"But shouldn't a butler worry about
his master at times like these?" ...says Oscar.
**[08:39] Tanaka**
Interesting question.
**[08:41] Tanaka**
Clearly worrying about his master
isn't a butler's *only* job.
**[08:53] Tanaka**
A butler must arrange an immaculate
welcome for his master's return.
**[09:01] Sullivan**
First, teach me your country's language.
**[09:04] Sebastian**
English?
**[09:05] Sullivan**
It's best if I can chat with Ciel
while treating him, right?
**[09:09] Sebastian**
Ah, of course.
**[09:11] Sebastian**
This is the only usable text we have here,
**[09:15] Sebastian**
but it may be a bit much for a beginner.
**[09:18] Sullivan**
What is it about?
**[09:20] Sebastian**
It's a collection of English home remedies.
**[09:24] Sullivan**
What?
**[09:27] Sullivan**
Sebastian, what is this potion?
**[09:30] Sebastian**
That's an opium tincture.
**[09:33] Sullivan**
"Tink-ture"?
**[09:36] Sullivan**
That word has an indecent ring to it.
My heart's racing.
**[09:39] Sebastian**
It's a medicine used mainly for its
cough suppressant and analgesic effects.
**[09:43] Sebastian**
It's compounded from poppy seeds.
**[09:46] Sullivan**
Oh, I know of those!
**[09:48] Sullivan**
What's this?
**[09:49] Sebastian**
A remedy for sore throats that involves
wrapping bacon around the neck.
**[09:55] Sebastian**
According to the book,
bacon has powerful healing properties.
**[09:59] Sullivan**
Bacon? Really? I've never heard that!
**[10:03] Sullivan**
Wolf, Wolf! Fetch some bacon! I want to try it!
**[10:08] Wolfram**
J-Ja.
**[10:12] Hilde**
Wolfram.
**[10:15] Hilde**
I want a word.
**[10:20] Hilde**
Why did you let those outsiders stay here?
**[10:23] Hilde**
They're a bad influence on Fräulein Sullivan!
**[10:26] Wolfram**
You know there's no stopping
the young mistress when she gets like this.
**[10:33] Hilde**
Don't say I didn't warn you.
**[10:42] Finnian**
Young master, won't you eat just a little?
**[10:48] Ciel**
No. I don't want to eat.
**[10:51] Finnian**
Wh-What about some hot milk?
**[10:58] Ciel**
Is there honey?
**[11:00] Finnian**
Let's put lots in and make it really sweet!
**[11:06] Finnian**
Let me blow on it to cool it down.
**[11:11] Ciel**
That's hot!
**[11:13] Finnian**
I'm so sorry! I'll wipe your face right away!
**[11:17] Finnian**
* I'll hurt the young master*
* if I use my full strength.*
**[11:22] Finnian**
*Gently does it. Gently does it.*
**[11:27] Finnian**
Does it hurt?
**[11:28] Ciel**
No.
**[11:33] Finnian**
Young master, let's go get
some fresh air when you're done.
**[11:40] Ciel**
No. I'm scared of the outside.
**[11:45] Ciel**
I'm scared.
**[11:47] Finnian**
Young master.
**[11:49] Finnian**
It's all right! If any scary people come,
I'll get rid of *all* of them for you!
**[11:55] Finnian**
I'll protect you no matter what!
**[12:01] Finnian**
* I made up my mind on that*
* the day you gave me my name.*
**[12:15] Ciel**
I'm not worth protecting.
**[12:20] Ciel**
I'm the only one who...
**[12:23] Ciel**
There are better people...
**[12:30] Finnian**
Young master.
**[12:39] (Flashback) Spectacled Researcher**
This laboratory is done for!
**[12:43] (Flashback) Straight-Backed Hair**
Destroy all of the documents!
**[12:46] (Flashback) Straight-Backed Hair**
And the test subjects, too! Hurry!
**[13:09] (Flashback) Test Subject A**
What is it?
**[13:10] (Flashback) Finnian**
Up there.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Test Subject A**
Doctor?
**[13:21] (Flashback) Spectacled Researcher**
These were the fruits of our research! Damn it!
**[13:25] (Flashback) Finnian**
Doctor? Why?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Stand back, my lord.
**[14:13] (Flashback) Ciel**
Wait.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Ciel**
What's your name?
**[14:22] Finnian**
* At the time, I didn't know*
* what the young master was saying.*
**[14:28] Finnian**
* But now I know that*
* those words changed my fate.*
**[14:37] Ciel**
I'm the only one...
**[14:40] Ciel**
There are better people...
**[14:46] Finnian**
Young master.
**[14:48] Finnian**
Don't say that!
I wouldn't be here without you!
**[14:55] Finnian**
I only knew how to destroy things,
but then you taught me to grow things.
**[15:03] Finnian**
You turned me from the weapon named S-012
into the gardener named Finnian!
**[15:12] Finnian**
You're just injured and
upset right now, that's all.
**[15:15] Finnian**
Don't worry. I'm sure Sebastian
will solve this somehow!
**[15:21] Ciel**
Sebas-tian...
**[15:26] Ciel**
No! No!
**[15:28] Finnian**
Y-Young master?
**[15:28] Ciel**
Not him! He's the one who...
**[15:32] Ciel**
Who's that?!
**[15:34] Finnian**
I'll go see.
**[15:40] Finnian**
Seba—
**[15:43] Finnian**
Fräulein Sullivan is here.
**[15:47] Ciel**
Sullivan?
**[15:49] Sullivan**
Yes. How do you feel?
**[15:52] Finnian**
Fräulein Sullivan, you've
learnt English! Amazing!
**[15:57] Sullivan**
I *am* a witch, you know.
**[15:59] Sullivan**
Though I've got a long way
to go with the language.
**[16:05] Sebastian**
Finny, would you please
clear away the dishes?
**[16:08] Finnian**
All right.
**[16:15] Sullivan**
I came to change your bandages.
**[16:19] Ciel**
Will it hurt?
**[16:20] Sullivan**
It'll hurt more if I don't change them.
**[16:29] Sullivan**
I'll touch you now.
**[16:31] Ciel**
All right.
**[16:43] Sullivan**
Good.
**[16:44] Sullivan**
You're healing quickly. Young men's
vital forces bounce back well, eh?
**[16:57] Sebastian**
Thank you, Fräulein Sullivan.
**[17:00] Sullivan**
Of course. But never mind that.
I have a question for you.
**[17:05] Sullivan**
I didn't say anything before
because Wolf was with us, but...
**[17:09] Sullivan**
You're...
**[17:11] Sullivan**
devil worshipers, I take it?
**[17:13] Sebastian**
What?
**[17:15] Sullivan**
There's no need to hide it.
**[17:17] Sullivan**
Unlike the Inquisitors, we witches
don't condemn devil worshipers.
**[17:22] Sullivan**
There are demonic signs
on your hand and his eye.
**[17:26] Sullivan**
Am I wrong?
**[17:27] Sebastian**
Only a little, young mistress.
**[17:30] Sullivan**
Meaning?
**[17:31] Sebastian**
My young master was once kidnapped
by a group of devil worshipers.
**[17:36] Sebastian**
They wanted to sacrifice him.
**[17:39] Sebastian**
He and I met in the middle of
their demon summoning ritual.
**[17:44] Sullivan**
Impossible! No set of amateurs
could summon a demon!
**[17:48] Sebastian**
It's not necessarily impossible.
**[17:50] Sullivan**
Don't talk back to me, amateur.
**[17:53] Sullivan**
Failure in a ritual like that
leaves you cursed by the demon!
**[17:57] Sebastian**
Indeed?
**[17:58] Sullivan**
So those people forcibly branded
the sign into Ciel's eye?
**[18:05] Sullivan**
How cruel.
**[18:07] Sullivan**
Were you a sacrifice, too?
**[18:10] Sebastian**
No, I—
**[18:11] Sullivan**
Wait, I take back that question.
**[18:14] Sullivan**
It must be a painful memory.
I don't want to force it out of you.
**[18:20] Sullivan**
Do the others know of this?
**[18:21] Sebastian**
No, the young master
and I have kept it a secret.
**[18:27] Sullivan**
I see. Then, I'll keep it under my hat, too.
**[18:32] Sebastian**
I appreciate your thoughtfulness, my lady.
**[18:39] Sullivan**
Ciel's wounds are healing very well.
**[18:43] Sullivan**
He's deeply unstable emotionally,
but I didn't detect any kind of memory disorder.
**[18:48] Mey-Rin**
And his eyes? Will his sight come back, yes?
**[18:51] Sullivan**
His eyes are physically normal.
**[18:54] Sullivan**
I believe his blindness is temporary,
triggered by psychological shock.
**[18:58] Sullivan**
If his mind and body heal,
his sight should eventually come back.
**[19:02] Finnian**
Thank goodness.
**[19:02] Mey-Rin**
Thank goodness, yes!
**[19:04] Sullivan**
The most important thing right now
is for him to get his nutrition and rest.
**[19:07] Sullivan**
If he does that, he should
be up and about before long.
**[19:11] Baldroy**
Really, ma'am?
**[19:13] Baldroy**
Then, let's scram back to the manor
as soon as he can get out of bed.
**[19:16] Baldroy**
He'll feel safer back there than here.
**[19:19] Sullivan**
Y-Yes, that's probably for the best.
**[19:24] Baldroy**
That settles it! Gotta feed him
Chef's special full-stamina dinner!
**[19:30] Mey-Rin**
Meat, yes?
**[19:31] Finnian**
I'll make treats!
**[19:32] Snake**
"Let's bake scones." ...says Emily.
**[19:37] Tanaka**
A sumptuous feast.
**[19:39] Wolfram**
Meat dishes take time to prepare.
You should help.
**[19:43] Sebastian**
But...
**[19:45] Sullivan**
Don't worry about me. I'll be reading.
**[19:48] Sullivan**
I look forward to dinner.
**[19:50] Sebastian**
Very good, my lady.
**[20:04] Sebastian**
Excuse me, but we're out of white cooking wine.
**[20:08] Wolfram**
The wine cellar is down the stairs,
to the right, and all the way back.
**[20:13] Sebastian**
Understood.
**[20:18] Sebastian**
Snake, may I have a moment?
**[20:32] Snake**
"He said the wine cellar was to the right.
You're going left." ...says Oscar.
**[20:39] Sebastian**
I said we were out of wine,
but I never said I would go get more.
**[20:54] Snake**
"It's a dead end." ...says Oscar.
**[20:59] Sebastian**
I hear an echo. That means
there's a large space behind this wall.
**[21:08] Snake**
"What are you doing?" ...says Oscar.
**[21:20] Snake**
What is this?

**[00:01] Ciel**
I'm not worth protecting.
**[00:04] Ciel**
There are better people...
**[00:10] Finnian**
Young master.
**[00:13] Sullivan**
Teach me more things, Sebastian!
**[00:17] Hilde**
Why did you let those outsiders stay here?
**[00:20] Hilde**
They're a bad influence on Fräulein Sullivan!
**[00:22] Sullivan**
Ciel's wounds are healing very well.
**[00:25] Sullivan**
He should be up and about before long.
**[00:28] Baldroy**
Really, ma'am?
**[00:29] Baldroy**
Then, let's scram back to the manor

The wine cellar is down the stairs,

You're going left." ...says Oscar.
**[00:49] Sebastian**
I said we were out of wine,
but I never said I would go get more.
**[01:08] Sebastian**
It must go down quite a way.
**[01:12] Snake**
"It's too dark to see anything." ...says Oscar.
**[01:16] Wolfram**
Oi.
**[01:19] Wolfram**
What are you two doing there?
**[01:22] Wolfram**
I told you to turn *right*
for the wine cellar, didn't I?
**[01:26] Sebastian**
I apologize. This is quite
a large building, isn't it?
**[01:31] Sebastian**
What's down these stairs?
**[01:34] Wolfram**
None of your business.
**[01:36] Sebastian**
Understood.
**[01:38] Sebastian**
Let's go back up, Snake.
**[01:47] Wolfram**
Come here again and I'll have your head.
**[01:50] Sebastian**
I quite understand you.
**[01:55] Snake**
"He's asking a lot."
**[01:58] Snake**
...says Oscar.
**[02:10] Finnian**
There's lots more!
**[02:12] Ciel**
I'm full.
**[02:15] Finnian**
But you've only had a few bites.
**[02:29] Finnian**
A-A werewolf?
**[02:33] Finnian**
Young master!
**[02:39] Finnian**
That hurt.
**[02:45] Sebastian**
What happened?
**[02:49] Sebastian**
What's going on?
**[02:50] Finnian**
A werewolf broke in.
**[02:52] Baldroy**
What? I'll go nab 'im!
**[02:56] Wolfram**
Stop! Herr Werwolf has his miasma
about him. You'll be cursed, too.
**[03:02] Baldroy**
I'm not listenin' to you!
**[03:04] Sebastian**
He's right. Don't pursue the werewolf.
**[03:07] Sullivan**
What's going on here?
**[03:10] Wolfram**
Young mistress.
**[03:11] Sullivan**
Explain.
**[03:13] Wolfram**
A werewolf attacked.
**[03:15] Sullivan**
How can that be?
**[03:17] Sullivan**
They'd never attack the castle.
**[03:21] Ciel**
No more. I'm scared.
**[03:26] Sullivan**
Wolfram.
**[03:27] Sullivan**
Prepare for the Emerald Witch's work.
**[03:30] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[03:31] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan?
**[03:34] Sullivan**
It's all right. I'm the Emerald Witch.
**[03:38] Sullivan**
I'll protect this village without fail.
**[04:32] Sign**
Black Butler
**[04:34] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[06:56] Sullivan**
I apologize for the wait...
**[06:58] Sullivan**
O guardian beasts of the forest...
**[07:02] Sullivan**
O werewolves!
**[07:31] Sullivan**
I am Sieglinde Sullivan, the Emerald Witch.
**[07:35] Sullivan**
Werewolves, witness my working.
**[07:40] Sullivan**
The Ultimate Spell, which produces the magic
that gives you life, will soon be complete.
**[07:49] Sullivan**
And so, I beseech you: Please, calm your anger.
**[08:07] Baldroy**
Y-Young master, please come out.
**[08:12] Mey-Rin**
You need to keep resting, yes.
**[08:20] Ciel**
I don't wanna be here anymore! I wanna go home!
**[08:25] Snake**
"Calm down, Smile!" ...says Goethe.
**[08:29] Ciel**
Shut up!
**[08:31] Ciel**
I'm scared.
**[08:34] (Flashback) Ciel**
My orders are absolute—no exceptions.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Ciel**
Understood, Sebastian?
**[08:40] Ciel**
I wanna go home! Right now!
**[08:45] Sebastian**
Well.
**[08:47] Sebastian**
What shall we do now?
**[08:52] Mey-Rin**
H-He finally got back into bed, yes.
**[08:56] Baldroy**
How do we get the young master back to normal?
**[09:01] Sebastian**
We could try giving him another shock.
"An eye for an eye," as it were.
**[09:07] Tanaka**
We'll have none of that.
**[09:09] Tanaka**
Rest is the best treatment
for afflictions of the mind.
**[09:12] Tanaka**
Our young master is in emotional turmoil.
**[09:17] Tanaka**
We ought to let him recover in
his own time, without any pressure.
**[09:27] Baldroy**
Still, what kind of "miasma" could
make our young master like *that*?
**[09:33] Baldroy**
That whole magic explanation
doesn't sit right with me.
**[09:36] Baldroy**
Cripes, I hate this occult stuff.
**[09:41] Wolfram**
Oi.
**[09:44] Wolfram**
We're going to a village assembly
about Herr Werwolf.
**[09:53] Wolfram**
Behave yourself.
**[10:06] Sebastian**
This case is outside even my expertise.
**[10:10] Baldroy**
Oi! Sebastian?
**[10:13] Sebastian**
I suppose I'll sit and watch
for a while longer.
**[10:32] Phips**
Your Majesty.
**[10:35] Phips**
Here is the analysis report of the
Werewolves' Forest plant your guard dog sent.
**[10:41] Victoria**
Thank you. Set it down and leave me.
**[10:45] Phips**
Yes, ma'am.
**[10:49] Phips**
Then, pardon us, ma'am.
**[10:58] Grey**
Isn't the kid in Germany right now?
**[11:02] Grey**
How the devil did he deliver that?
**[11:05] Phips**
No idea. But he has the criminal underworld
essentially under his thumb.
**[11:10] Phips**
I wouldn't be surprised if
he had his own backdoor routes.
**[11:14] Grey**
That whole lot are just odd.
**[11:26] Victoria**
Oh, no.
**[11:28] John**
Your Majesty?
**[11:29] Victoria**
John, what should we do? I'm afraid!
**[11:33] John**
"Don't panic, Victoria. I'm with you."
**[11:38] Victoria**
Oh, Albert! You're here!
**[11:42] John**
"Of course! I'll always be by your side.
Stay strong, Victoria."
**[11:48] Victoria**
Yes, I'll stay strong, Albert!
**[11:57] Victoria**
To create a wonderful world...
**[12:01] Victoria**
I must have the hunter get rid
of those scary wolves at once.
**[12:45] Mysterious Boy**
It's not like you to come to a standstill.
**[12:49] Ciel**
I'm afraid.
**[12:52] Mysterious Boy**
What are you so afraid of?
**[12:54] Ciel**
It's pitch black.
**[12:57] Ciel**
I can't see anything.
**[13:01] Mysterious Boy**
Then, why do you stay there?
**[13:06] Mysterious Boy**
I know everything about you.
**[13:10] Mysterious Boy**
Shall I tell you why?
**[13:12] Mysterious Boy**
You're afraid of looking head-on...
**[13:15] Mysterious Boy**
at the proof of your sin
right there next to you.
**[13:24] Mysterious Boy**
Sorry. That was a mean thing to say.
**[13:28] Mysterious Boy**
If it pains you that much,
you can just stay here forever.
**[13:33] Ciel**
But that's...
**[13:35] Mysterious Boy**
Why hesitate? If you stay here,
nothing will ever hurt you again.
**[13:41] Ciel**
But I...
**[13:48] Mysterious Boy**
All right.
**[13:51] Mysterious Boy**
Take as long as you like to decide.
**[14:17] Finnian**
Young master.
**[14:21] Snake**
"Black!"
**[14:25] Snake**
"Oscar is back!" ...says Goethe.
**[14:28] Sebastian**
Any news?
**[14:30] Snake**
"Only the scoop of the century." ...says Oscar.
**[14:42] Villager A**
I think Herr Werwolf is angry because
outsiders are here. And *men*, at that.
**[14:51] Anne**
More people will be hurt if this goes on!
**[14:54] Anne**
Please, Fräulein Sullivan,
protect our village!
**[14:58] Grete**
Please drive them out!
**[15:01] Villagers**
Fräulein Sullivan!
**[15:03] Villagers**
Fräulein Sullivan!
**[15:06] Crone**
Why do you hesitate, Emerald Witch?
**[15:09] Crone**
Do you want to see another villager
sacrificed for those outsiders?
**[15:14] Sullivan**
Certainly not!
**[15:16] Crone**
Focus on completing the Ultimate Spell
before being so smitten with the outside world.
**[15:22] Crone**
That should quench the werewolves' anger.
**[15:29] Sullivan**
Very well.
**[15:32] Sullivan**
I'll have them leave tomorrow.
**[15:36] Villagers**
Thank you, Emerald Witch!
**[15:39] Villagers**
I'm so glad.
**[15:41] Villagers**
I can rest easy.
**[15:44] Hilde**
Wolfram, you'd better not
have forgotten your role.
**[15:49] Wolfram**
Of course not. I'm the young mistress's...
**[15:52] Wolfram**
Rather, I'm the Emerald Witch's butler.
That's the arrangement.
**[15:59] Hilde**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[16:01] Hilde**
I'll trust you to see them off.
**[16:04] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[16:10] Baldroy**
What?!
**[16:11] Baldroy**
Werewolves underneath the castle?
**[16:14] Mey-Rin**
Then, is she in league
with the werewolves, no?
**[16:17] Snake**
"She was surrounded by werewolves,
doing something." ...says Oscar.
**[16:23] Baldroy**
"Something" like what?
**[16:25] Snake**
"'Something' like, uh...
**[16:29] Snake**
like *lots* of things!" ...says Oscar.
**[16:32] Baldroy**
Ah, he's a snake. Guess it ain't
his fault if he doesn't know.
**[16:37] Snake**
"How dare you! We can remember
as far back as yesterday!"
**[16:41] Snake**
...says Wordsworth.
**[16:45] Mey-Rin**
But Fräulein Sullivan's panic
about the attack on the young master
**[16:50] Mey-Rin**
didn't seem like an act, no.
**[16:52] Sebastian**
She was unsettled when
the villager was attacked as well.
**[16:57] Sebastian**
Perhaps the attacks on humans
are against her will.
**[17:01] Baldroy**
Why not just go down there now
and take a look? Those two ain't even here.
**[17:07] Sebastian**
When we opened the secret door earlier,
**[17:10] Sebastian**
there was something like
a talisman at the entrance.
**[17:13] Sebastian**
I assume it alerts the castle to intruders
through a magic-like process.
**[17:18] Snake**
"So that's what sent him running
after us, eh?" ...says Oscar.
**[17:25] Sebastian**
Not that the mechanism
matters much, I suppose.
**[17:29] Sebastian**
Everyone, if Wolfram comes home too soon,
**[17:33] Sebastian**
could you please buy me a little time?
**[17:36] Mey-Rin**
Wh-What are you going to do?
**[17:38] Sebastian**
A Phantomhive butler who can't infiltrate
a place undetected isn't worth his salt.
**[17:57] Sebastian**
Though I confess, I'm simply using force.
**[18:05] Sebastian**
Oh? Rather impressive.
**[18:34] Sebastian**
This must be the magical staff.
**[18:37] Sebastian**
A type of calcite, perhaps?
**[18:45] Sebastian**
The Theban alphabet
commonly used by witches.
**[18:48] Sebastian**
I'm feeling very nostalgic.
**[18:52] Sebastian**
O, P, F, C, H.
**[19:00] Sebastian**
This could be...
**[19:10] Wolfram**
We're back.
**[19:12] Wolfram**
We brought ingredients for tomorrow's...
**[19:17] Wolfram**
Where is your butler?
**[19:19] Baldroy**
Oh, uh...
**[19:21] Baldroy**
How are we s'posed to buy time
when we don't even speak his language?
**[19:27] Mey-Rin**
If only Finny were here!
**[19:31] Wolfram**
I'm asking you, where did your butler go?
**[19:34] Mey-Rin**
U-Um...
**[19:44] Anne**
No, wait!
**[19:52] Sebastian**
Don't move.
**[19:54] Sebastian**
You don't want it to bite you.
**[19:56] Anne**
What?
**[19:59] Sebastian**
Oh, dear.
**[20:03] Sebastian**
I apologize that one of our household
servants has been so rude.
**[20:11] Sebastian**
Oscar had better go outside
and cool his head.
**[20:15] Sebastian**
Come along, Snake.
**[20:24] Wolfram**
You'll be leaving tomorrow.
**[20:28] Wolfram**
We can't afford to anger
Herr Werwolf any further.
**[20:35] Sebastian**
Very well.
**[20:45] Snake**
"You're horrible, Oscar." ...says Emily.
**[20:52] Snake**
"I didn't jump on that woman to enjoy
her bosom! I did it to smell her!"
**[20:58] Snake**
...says Oscar.
**[21:00] Snake**
"I have another big scoop."
**[21:03] Snake**
"That woman smelled of werewolf!"
**[21:08] Snake**
...says Oscar.
**[21:10] Sebastian**
I see. That would imply—
**[21:14] John**
Pardon the interruption.
**[21:20] Sebastian**
A horse?
**[21:22] John**
Please excuse me.
**[21:25] John**
I'm here to deliver a letter from the Queen.
**[21:29] Sebastian**
*The Queen's personal horsekeeper...*
**[21:31] Sebastian**
*John Brown.*

**[00:02] Ciel**
I don't wanna be here anymore!
**[00:04] Ciel**
I wanna go home! Right now!
**[00:09] Sebastian**
What shall we do now?
**[00:13] Sebastian**
Everyone, if Wolfram comes home too soon,
**[00:16] Sebastian**
could you please buy me a little time?
**[00:21] Sebastian**
This must be the magical staff.
**[00:24] Sebastian**
The Theban alphabet
commonly used by witches.
**[00:27] Sebastian**
I'm feeling very nostalgic.
**[00:31] Sebastian**
This could be...
**[00:37] Anne**
No, wait!
**[00:39] Snake**
"You're horrible, Oscar." ...says Emily.
**[00:43] Snake**
"I didn't jump on that woman
to enjoy her bosom!"
**[00:48] Snake**
"I have another big scoop."
**[00:50] Snake**
"That woman smelled of werewolf!"
**[01:00] John**
I'm here to deliver a letter from the Queen.
**[01:05] Sebastian**
*The Queen's personal horsekeeper...*
**[01:07] Sebastian**
*John Brown.*
**[01:10] Sebastian**
You must have had quite
a long journey, Mr. Brown.
**[01:14] Sebastian**
Did you come this whole way on horseback?
**[01:16] John**
Of course not.
**[01:17] John**
I'd never force my beloved horse
to walk such terrible roads.
**[01:21] John**
Poor thing. Good horse.
**[01:24] Sebastian**
I see. I'm glad you weren't exposed
to the werewolf miasma.
**[01:30] John**
Cheers for the concern.
Now, where's the earl?
**[01:34] Sebastian**
My apologies, but I'm afraid
my master is ill at the moment.
**[01:40] Sebastian**
You can leave the letter with me.
**[01:44] John**
That won't do. I was asked to deliver it
with the message, "Read it at once, dear!"
**[01:51] John**
Well, needs must. Would you kindly
read it and confirm the contents?
**[01:56] Sebastian**
Me?
**[01:58] John**
It's urgent.
**[02:02] Sebastian**
Then I shall be so bold as to do so.
**[02:08] Sebastian**
This is...
**[02:10] John**
And so, I have done my duty. I'll be off now.
**[02:14] Snake**
What?
**[02:16] Sebastian**
Watch out for werewolves on your way back.
**[02:20] John**
Cheers for the concern.
Take care of his lordship.
**[02:27] Sebastian**
Well now.
**[02:29] Sebastian**
It seems we can't afford
to take our time anymore.

**[03:29] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[04:53] Wolfram**
Young mistress.
**[04:57] Wolfram**
It's dinnertime.
**[05:01] Sullivan**
All right.
**[05:05] Sullivan**
Wolf, are you sure I can't come
with you tomorrow to see them off?
**[05:14] Wolfram**
You mustn't. The Werewolves'
Forest is dangerous.
**[05:17] Sullivan**
But—
**[05:17] Wolfram**
Please, be reasonable.
**[05:22] Wolfram**
If anything happened to you,
the villagers would—
**[05:24] Sullivan**
I know!
**[05:28] Sullivan**
I know. But...
**[05:34] Sullivan**
I want to see the outside world, too.
Even if just for a moment.
**[05:42] Sullivan**
I want to know more about
the world they live in, Wolfram.
**[05:49] Wolfram**
That is the one request
I can't grant you, young mistress.
**[05:57] Wolfram**
It was a mistake to invite them here.
**[06:01] Wolfram**
I'll bring you dinner in your room.
**[06:04] Sullivan**
Wolf!
**[06:06] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[06:07] Wolfram**
Are you hurt?
**[06:10] Sullivan**
I'm fine.
**[06:22] Sullivan**
W-Wolf?
**[06:27] Wolfram**
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, young mistress.
**[06:32] Wolfram**
I... I...
**[06:38] Sullivan**
Wolf, don't cry. I'm sorry.
**[06:43] Sullivan**
I won't go anywhere. I'll complete
the Ultimate Spell and protect you all.
**[06:55] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[07:13] Finnian**
That woke you up, eh?
**[07:15] Finnian**
I'll go take a look. You can stay in bed.
**[07:21] Finnian**
Seba—uh...
**[07:26] Finnian**
U-Um...
**[07:29] Sebastian**
Finny, could you please
leave for a few minutes?
**[07:33] Finnian**
B-But—
**[07:34] Sebastian**
I have to speak with him
about something important.
**[07:37] Ciel**
N-No!
**[07:39] Ciel**
Stay away!
**[07:43] Sebastian**
Weren't you listening? Please leave.
**[07:48] Finnian**
Please wait! He's still not fully—
**[07:52] Finnian**
H-Hey!
**[07:54] Finnian**
Sebastian, stop!
**[07:56] Finnian**
I asked you to stop! That *hurts*!
**[08:03] Sebastian**
You have cared for our young master
very well, but you are no longer needed.
**[08:12] Finnian**
I used my full strength,
but he didn't even flinch.
**[08:18] Finnian**
How?
**[08:41] Sebastian**
You've received a letter from the Queen.
**[08:45] Sebastian**
Also, I'm told we'll be driven
from the village tomorrow morning.
**[08:52] Sebastian**
I believe you have more pressing duties
than wrapping yourself in down bedclothes
**[08:57] Sebastian**
and dwelling on regrets and fears.
**[09:02] Sebastian**
Now get out of bed.
**[09:08] Ciel**
N-No.
**[09:14] Sebastian**
Ah, so you plan to abandon
your role as guard dog?
**[09:20] Sebastian**
Very well.
**[09:23] Sebastian**
Ceasing to be the Queen's guard dog
would spare you some painful duties.
**[09:28] Sebastian**
No one would reprimand you
for hiding in your bed forever,
**[09:33] Sebastian**
and I imagine your servants
would treat you kindly.
**[09:42] Sebastian**
However, abandoning your revenge
is a breach of our contract.
**[09:56] Sebastian**
Alas.
**[09:58] Sebastian**
What a dull ending to our story.
**[10:02] Sebastian**
I pity those who have lost
their lives for someone so *dull*.
**[10:13] Sebastian**
Well...
**[10:16] Sebastian**
I suppose that's of no interest to you.
**[10:21] Sebastian**
You're about to disappear, after all.
**[10:28] Sebastian**
This isn't the meal I'd been hoping for.
**[10:33] Sebastian**
But I suppose it will slake
the hunger for a little while.
**[10:42] Ciel**
*Ah.*
**[10:44] Ciel**
*I'm dying, then?*
**[10:50] Ciel**
*Without getting my vengeance...*
**[10:54] Ciel**
*Forsaken even by demons...*
**[11:33] Mysterious Boy**
Have you decided?
**[11:38] Mysterious Boy**
To stay here forever?
**[11:47] Mysterious Boy**
You're such a fool.
**[11:51] Mysterious Boy**
No one asked you to seek vengeance, you know.
**[11:59] Ciel**
I know.
**[12:03] Mysterious Boy**
You do? Then why are you trying to get revenge?
**[12:14] Mysterious Boy**
And with the power you got by sacrificing *me*.
**[12:23] Mysterious Boy**
The choice you made cost
a lot of people their lives.
**[12:32] Ciel**
I...
**[12:33] Ciel**
I...
**[12:35] Mysterious Boy**
You wanted me to forgive you?
**[12:38] Ciel**
That's not it.
**[12:40] Madam Red**
You wanted to say goodbye
to the weak boy you were?
**[12:43] Ciel**
That's not it.
**[12:45] Joker**
You wanted to own everything?
**[12:48] Ciel**
That's not it!
**[12:50] Rachel**
We know.
**[12:53] Rachel**
You wanted to avenge our deaths, right?
**[12:56] Ciel**
That's not it!
**[12:59] Sebastian**
Then why did you sacrifice so much...
**[13:06] Sebastian**
and stake your own soul...
**[13:10] Sebastian**
to make a pact with me?
**[13:14] Ciel**
*I remember why I made a pact with a demon.*
**[13:21] Ciel**
* The real reason I wanted power*
* great enough to go against anyone...*
**[13:28] Ciel**
I'm not virtuous enough to
give my life for someone else,
**[13:34] Ciel**
or tolerant enough to let myself
be trampled on without consequence.
**[13:39] Ciel**
I'm a hopelessly self-centred
and self-righteous person.
**[13:44] Ciel**
That's why...
**[13:46] Ciel**
I took your hand to repay
their disgraces against *me*.
**[13:53] Ciel**
Not for anyone else's sake.
**[14:00] Ciel**
For my own sake!
**[14:33] Ciel**
Sebastian!
**[14:37] Ciel**
You wretch. Let go of me
this instant. That's an order!
**[14:48] Ciel**
Curses. I've never had
a wake-up call so rotten.
**[14:55] Ciel**
That's not a very nice way
to treat your master, Sebastian.
**[15:01] Sebastian**
Oh, my.
**[15:04] Sebastian**
I apologize.
**[15:08] Sebastian**
You were very difficult to wake, you see.
**[15:16] Sebastian**
Good morning, my lord.
**[15:32] Ciel**
You were genuinely trying
to eat me just now, weren't you?
**[15:39] Sebastian**
Not at all. I assure you I was only 90% serious.
**[15:43] Ciel**
In other words, your mind
was essentially made up.
**[15:46] Sebastian**
Tanaka told me not to take drastic measures,
so I watched and waited for a while.
**[15:53] Sebastian**
But your infantile tantrum
triggered an impulse.
**[15:57] Ciel**
And you think a butler would kill
his master on impulse? You hellhound.
**[16:04] Sebastian**
Yes. I *am* one hell of a butler, after all.
**[16:15] Sebastian**
And now, may I ask why you took that attitude?
**[16:20] Ciel**
Well...
**[16:25] Ciel**
Call the others here.
I'll tell all of you at once.
**[16:30] Sebastian**
Of course.
**[16:40] Sebastian**
Good grief.
**[16:42] Sebastian**
Why, precisely, are you servants
listening at the door?
**[16:45] Baldroy**
We couldn't hear anythin' any—I mean, we were
worried. Finny said you were actin' strangely.
**[16:52] Finnian**
Ow, ow, you're hurting the wounds on my back!
**[16:56] Mey-Rin**
Please don't be angry with us, Sebastian, no!
**[16:58] Snake**
"So short-tempered." ...says Brontë.
**[17:05] Ciel**
You lot are so noisy, truly.
**[17:09] Finnian**
Young master!
**[17:12] Finnian**
You're back to normal, young master!
**[17:12] Sebastian**
And stop.
**[17:15] Sebastian**
Do you want to set back his recovery
now that he's finally well?
**[17:20] Finnian**
I-I'm sorry!
**[17:24] Ciel**
I caused you trouble, hmm, Finny?
I'm all right now.
**[17:32] Finnian**
Right...
**[17:34] Finnian**
Right.
**[17:38] Ciel**
The rest of you come over here, too.
**[17:48] Ciel**
There's something I need to say to you.
**[17:54] Ciel**
I'm sorry.
**[17:59] Ciel**
My reckless behaviour created
more work and more worry for you.
**[18:04] Ciel**
Please forgive me.
**[18:06] Mey-Rin**
N-Nonsense, young master!
**[18:08] Baldroy**
There's no need to bow to us!
**[18:10] Snake**
"You're not responsible
for the curse." ...says Emily.
**[18:14] Finnian**
She's right, too!
**[18:17] Ciel**
No, however I seemed
these past few days, I was still me.
**[18:21] Ciel**
As your master, I swear never to behave
so pitifully in front of you again.
**[18:28] Ciel**
So I ask you...
**[18:30] Ciel**
Please be my servants again.
**[18:34] Finnian/Baldroy/Mey-Rin/Snake**
Yes, my lord!
**[18:37] Snake**
...says Brontë.
**[18:41] Baldroy**
You ruined the mood!
**[18:43] Mey-Rin**
Now we sound silly, yes.
**[18:45] Ciel**
By the way...
**[18:47] Ciel**
Here's my first order
as your new-again master.
**[18:52] Ciel**
F-Forget how I've acted over
these past few days! At once!
**[19:04] Baldroy**
That's a tall order, young master.
**[19:10] Mey-Rin**
Th-That behaviour was normal
for a boy your age, my lord, yes!
**[19:16] Finnian**
I treasure any and all memories!
**[19:21] Finnian**
I'll make you some more hot milk
with plenty of honey!
**[19:24] Baldroy**
Honey?
**[19:25] Ciel**
St-Stop! Not another word!
**[19:30] Mey-Rin**
You remember everything
from when you were sick, then?
**[19:34] Ciel**
Yes. Although I wish I didn't.
**[19:40] Ciel**
But I wasn't doing those things
of my own free will.
**[19:47] Sebastian**
Meaning?
**[19:48] Ciel**
Perfectly trivial things
seemed terrifying,
**[19:52] Ciel**
and I couldn't control myself.
**[19:55] Ciel**
It's hard to put it into words, but...
**[19:59] Baldroy**
Sounds like what happens
all the time on the battlefield.
**[20:03] Baldroy**
Even the most well-trained
of soldiers can panic
**[20:06] Baldroy**
if they get wounded on the battlefield
in a way they never imagined.
**[20:10] Baldroy**
It's pretty common.
**[20:12] Baldroy**
So the state you were in
wasn't weird or anything.
**[20:16] Sebastian**
True, the way you looked
while "cursed" was quite shocking.
**[20:24] Sebastian**
Though I imagine the psychological
impact was part of the objective.
**[20:28] Ciel**
"Objective"? What do you mean?
**[20:31] Sebastian**
Here.
**[20:36] Ciel**
What is this?
**[20:38] Ciel**
"C4"... A code?
**[20:42] Sebastian**
Since time was of the essence, I took
the liberty of sending off some samples.
**[20:47] Sebastian**
Leaves from the woods
and the potion you were treated with.
**[20:53] Sebastian**
I asked the Palace
to analyse their contents.
**[20:59] Ciel**
I see. So this is the truth
behind the "curse," then.
**[21:04] Sebastian**
Yes.
**[21:06] Sebastian**
And at the werewolves' request,
**[21:10] Sebastian**
Fräulein Sullivan is working
to complete an "Ultimate Spell."
**[21:15] Ciel**
Hmm? There's more.
**[21:20] Ciel**
She always asks the unreasonable.

**[00:12] Soldier on Guard**
Halt! This area is off-limits to civilians.
**[00:16] Diederich**
Are you calling *me* a civilian?
**[00:19] Soldier on Guard**
I'm very sorry, sir!
**[00:25] Diederich**
My mission is top secret. Tell no one of this.
**[00:28] Soldier on Guard**
Yes, sir!
**[00:36] Diederich**
Bah. Why must that family
work people so hard?
**[00:50] Diederich**
Ah, this should be it.
**[00:52] Diederich**
Good God!
**[00:54] Diederich**
*This* is what he's involved himself in?!
**[01:06] Sullivan**
This last bit just isn't working.
What should I do?
**[01:12] Sullivan**
Once I perfect the Ultimate Spell,
the werewolves' anger will cease.
**[01:17] Sullivan**
Then the village can live in peace,
**[01:20] Sullivan**
and they can visit again.
**[02:13] Wolfram**
Young mistress, it's time to sleep—
**[02:30] Sullivan**
Wolf.
**[02:32] Sullivan**
I've prepared what I need to do my duty.

**[04:45] Ciel**
"It would give me great pleasure if
the little witch would come to tea with me"?
**[04:49] Ciel**
She says that like it's easy.
**[04:51] Sebastian**
Her selfishness is royal in scale,
as befits a queen.
**[04:55] Ciel**
There's not much time
before tomorrow morning.
**[04:58] Ciel**
Begin the preparations to leave.
I'll give you further instructions later.
**[05:03] Servants**
Yes, sir!
**[05:04] Ciel**
Sebastian, help me dress.
**[05:06] Ciel**
And give me a more detailed report
on the information you've attained.
**[05:10] Sebastian**
Of course.
**[05:11] Ciel**
And one more thing.
**[05:13] Ciel**
Bring me a morning tea
that will fully wake me up.
**[05:19] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[05:40] Sullivan**
As a descendant of the Emerald Witch,
**[05:43] Sullivan**
I shall now fulfil the contract made long ago.
**[05:47] Sullivan**
O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!
**[06:28] Wolfram**
Are you awake?
**[06:31] Sullivan**
Wolf.
**[06:35] Sullivan**
I remember... I finished the Ultimate
Spell, and then I was exhausted...
**[06:40] Wolfram**
Yes.
**[06:42] Wolfram**
You worked hard today, young mistress.
**[06:45] Wolfram**
Please, change into your nightclothes.
**[07:01] Sullivan**
You're making that face again.
**[07:05] Sullivan**
Do you remember the day I succeeded
to the title of Emerald Witch?
**[07:19] Wolfram**
I could never forget it.
**[07:22] Sullivan**
Don't look so glum. I'm proud of these feet.
**[07:27] Sullivan**
They prove that I'm a descendant
of the great Emerald Witch.
**[07:32] Sullivan**
I'm happy to have completed
one of my duties as Emerald Witch today.
**[07:39] Sullivan**
I don't remember the face of
the predecessor who gave birth to me,
**[07:45] Sullivan**
but I hope she's pleased, too.
**[07:48] Wolfram**
Of course she is!
**[07:51] Wolfram**
Everyone is proud of you.
**[08:03] Sullivan**
But now that I've completed the spell,
what do you think my next task should be?
**[08:11] Wolfram**
Uh, w-well...
**[08:13] Sullivan**
Oh, I know! I'll leave the forest
and study lots of new things!
**[08:18] Sullivan**
Then I can help the village—
**[08:19] Wolfram**
You mustn't!
**[08:22] Sullivan**
What?
**[08:24] Wolfram**
You are the Emerald Witch,
and I am your butler.
**[08:29] Wolfram**
Our laws forbid us from
leaving Wolfsschlucht.
**[08:33] Wolfram**
You've had a long day,
and you're tired. Please, go to sleep.
**[08:37] Wolfram**
I'll fetch your nightdress.
**[08:48] Sullivan**
All right. I'll sleep.
**[09:21] Sullivan**
What's going on?
**[09:28] Sebastian**
Good evening, Fräulein Sullivan.
**[09:35] Sullivan**
H-How did you two get up here?
**[09:38] Sullivan**
You'd die if you fell!
**[09:41] Ciel**
What's so surprising?
**[09:43] Ciel**
Aren't you a witch who can fly on a broomstick?
**[09:47] Sullivan**
C-Ciel, you're back to your senses?
**[09:49] Ciel**
Yes. I owe that to you.
**[09:52] Ciel**
I wanted to thank you before we left.
**[09:54] Sullivan**
You don't need to—
**[09:56] Sullivan**
I see.
**[09:58] Sullivan**
You want to thank me *physically* by arranging
a feast for me on your naked body, correct?
**[10:03] Sullivan**
Interesting.
**[10:04] Ciel**
No!
**[10:07] Sebastian**
Actually, we've arranged to
give you what you want the most.
**[10:12] Sullivan**
What I want the most, you say?
**[10:17] Sebastian**
To see the outside world, my lady.
**[10:20] Sullivan**
The outside world?
**[10:23] Sebastian**
Yes. You'll be able to gain knowledge and
have experiences you could never have here.
**[10:30] Sebastian**
What do you think?
**[10:31] Sullivan**
B-But I'm the Emerald Witch,
and the village laws say...
**[10:39] Ciel**
Ah, I see.
**[10:41] Ciel**
Well, that's that, I suppose. Sorry for
suggesting something inappropriate.
**[10:45] Ciel**
You can shut the windows
after us and go back to sleep.
**[10:49] Ciel**
We're like dreams, after all.
Gone before morning.
**[10:55] Ciel**
Danke, Freund. Tschüß.
**[11:21] Sullivan**
I-I'll go with you.
**[11:24] Sullivan**
I want to know more!
**[11:32] Sebastian**
In that case, young mistress,
please change your clothes.
**[11:37] Sebastian**
A debutante needs to be formally attired
for her first steps into a new world.
**[11:43] Sebastian**
Your hand, please.
**[11:49] Sebastian**
We'll escort you into the unknown.
**[12:00] Sullivan**
I say, where are we going?
**[12:04] Sullivan**
These stairs don't lead outside.
They lead further into the Emerald Castle.
**[12:12] Ciel**
The outside world lies ahead.
**[12:22] Sullivan**
Don't tell me you two went in—
**[12:26] Sebastian**
If you speak too loudly,
the werewolves will notice us.
**[12:51] Ciel**
Is this a magic circle?
**[12:58] Sebastian**
Completing this magic circle must have
been the Emerald Witch's duty, correct?
**[13:03] Sullivan**
How do you know that?
**[13:05] Sebastian**
A snake told me.
**[13:07] Sullivan**
You can speak with snakes?
Are you a warlock?
**[13:13] Sebastian**
No, I don't use magic.
I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[13:19] Sullivan**
You have an extraordinary
magical aptitude within you.
**[13:23] Sullivan**
Those excellent genes... I want them!
**[13:26] Ciel**
Oi! That's enough idle chitchat.
**[13:29] Ciel**
Do you want to make a criminal of my butler?
**[13:32] Ciel**
Now, what is this "Emerald Witch's duty"?
**[13:34] Ciel**
Does it have something to do with
the reason you can't leave the village?
**[13:43] Sullivan**
You recall me telling you that werewolves have
a miasma—a bad magic harmful to humans—yes?
**[13:49] Sullivan**
The books say that once upon a time,
the Earth's atmosphere had abundant magic in it.
**[13:55] Sullivan**
That magic—the miasma—harms humans,
but it's like oxygen to magical beasts.
**[14:02] Sullivan**
Yet it has been all but lost
as a result of human prosperity.
**[14:07] Sullivan**
They say this is the reason
we witches lost most of our power, too.
**[14:12] Sullivan**
Having lost their magic,
the werewolves called upon us witches.
**[14:17] Sullivan**
They told us to repay them for protecting
the forest by creating a wellspring of miasma.
**[14:23] Ciel**
A wellspring of miasma?
**[14:26] Sullivan**
Obeying the werewolves,
generations of Emerald Witches
**[14:30] Sullivan**
strove to perfect a magical working
that would create miasma.
**[14:34] Sullivan**
This is the working I gave to them.
One that activates the Ultimate Spell.
**[14:40] Sullivan**
Once activated, it will produce
an infinite supply of miasma
**[14:44] Sullivan**
more highly concentrated
than any that's existed before.
**[14:47] Sullivan**
If a human were to be exposed to even
a tiny amount of it, they would die in no time.
**[14:54] Sullivan**
The miasma you encountered in the forest
is what's left of an ancient working.
**[14:59] Sebastian**
I see. So that's the history
you were taught, is it?
**[15:07] Sullivan**
What do you mean by that?
**[15:18] Sullivan**
Stop! If anyone other than
the Emerald Witch touches that altar—
**[15:22] Sebastian**
Yes? What would happen, exactly?
**[15:27] Sullivan**
A disaster... Wait. Huh?
**[15:39] Sullivan**
What?
**[15:40] Sullivan**
What is this?
**[15:43] Sebastian**
All right, Fräulein Sullivan.
Beyond this point is the true outside world.
**[15:49] Sebastian**
If you'd like to turn back, now is your chance.
**[15:56] Sullivan**
I'll go on.
**[16:44] Ciel**
Oi! Come here, both of you.
**[16:57] Sullivan**
So many shining pictures.
**[17:00] Sullivan**
Are these a new type of magic circle?
**[17:03] Ciel**
Some of these dots are moving.
**[17:08] Ciel**
The map looks like Wolfsschlucht.
**[17:11] Sebastian**
I understand now. Humans think up
the most intriguing things.
**[17:16] Ciel**
What do you mean?
**[17:18] Sebastian**
I believe this shining map and its moving dots
are displaying the positions of the villagers.
**[17:25] Ciel**
Impossible! How could—
**[17:29] Ciel**
Wait. Is this the talismans' doing?
**[17:35] Sebastian**
Yes. The talismans are most likely
machines emitting some sort of signal.
**[17:40] Sebastian**
Presumably, those signals can
be received and monitored here.
**[17:44] Sebastian**
It's a good thing we left ours behind.
**[17:47] Ciel**
People wearing talismans can
avoid werewolves and their miasma.
**[17:52] Ciel**
Who knew there was such
a high-level mechanism behind that?
**[17:55] Sullivan**
I-It's not true!
**[17:57] Sullivan**
Our elder offers a special prayer on the
night of the full moon to make those talis—
**[18:02] Sebastian**
Shh. Someone's coming.
**[18:04] Man 1**
Come on, hurry!
**[18:06] Man 2**
Is it done at last?
**[18:11] Ciel**
Who were they?
**[18:13] Sebastian**
Let's go see.
**[18:40] Sullivan**
What is this?
**[18:45] Sebastian**
It appears to be a factory.
**[18:51] Ciel**
There are more lifts here.
**[19:01] Crone**
Behold! Our Emerald Witch
has accomplished it at last!
**[19:08] Sullivan**
The elder?
**[19:10] Crone**
This phial holds a condensed miasma
more powerful than any before it.
**[19:15] Crone**
This will change the course of history!
**[19:22] Sullivan**
O werewolves, what is the meaning of this?!
**[19:27] Werewolf 1**
The Emerald Witch.
**[19:29] Werewolf 2**
It's the Emerald Witch.
**[19:31] Werewolves**
Secure her!
**[19:34] Werewolf 3**
Are you all right?!
**[19:35] Werewolf 4**
Get her a suit, quickly!
**[19:37] Werewolf 5**
How did upstairs let this happen?
**[19:39] Werewolf 6**
What's the reading?
**[19:40] Werewolf 7**
It's green.
**[19:41] Werewolf 8**
Thank goodness.
**[19:42] Sullivan**
What in the world...
**[19:45] Werewolf 9**
Fräulein Sullivan.
**[19:51] Sebastian**
Well, Fräulein Sullivan?
**[19:53] Sebastian**
The outside world is full of surprises,
wouldn't you agree?
**[19:58] Sullivan**
A... A human... m-man?
**[20:02] Ciel**
So the long wolf snouts held masks.
**[20:08] Ciel**
Quite the elaborate farce.
**[20:11] Ciel**
The "werewolves" are really
mere humans in costumes.
**[20:15] Ciel**
And the "miasma" is really...
**[20:19] Ciel**
...a chemical weapon made
in this factory. It's a toxic gas.
**[20:23] Ciel**
Werewolves and curses don't exist.
**[20:26] Ciel**
All of it was made up to trick you.
**[20:32] Sullivan**
N-No...
**[20:35] Sullivan**
Then what was the magic I made?
**[20:39] Crone**
I admit that what you made isn't magic.
**[20:43] Crone**
But it is far more wonderful than magic!
**[20:46] Crone**
When this fluid is vaporized,
the tiniest exposure to it
**[20:51] Crone**
should kill almost any living creature.
**[20:54] Crone**
Take pride! You have created
the most powerful toxic gas in history!
**[21:01] Crone**
And that's right. Such a breakthrough
chemical weapon deserves a name.
**[21:07] Crone**
Sullivan.
**[21:09] Crone**
Letzte Waffe.
**[21:11] Crone**
Ideal.
**[21:12] Crone**
Nebel.
**[21:15] Crone**
An acronym of that would be
"SLeINe..." No, wait, "SuLIN."
**[21:21] Crone**
I shall name it "sulin" gas!

**[00:01] Sullivan**
O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!
**[00:15] Sullivan**
Don't look so glum. I'm proud of these feet.
**[00:20] Sullivan**
I'm happy to have completed
one of my duties as Emerald Witch today.
**[00:26] Wolfram**
Everyone is proud of you.
**[00:32] Sullivan**
Oh, I know! I'll leave the forest
and study lots of new things!
**[00:37] Sullivan**
Then I can help the village—
**[00:39] Wolfram**
You mustn't!
**[00:41] Sullivan**
What?
**[00:46] Sebastian**
We've arranged to give you
what you want the most.
**[00:49] Sebastian**
To see the outside world.
**[00:51] Sebastian**
What do you think?
**[00:53] Sullivan**
B-But the village laws say...
**[00:56] Ciel**
Ah, I see.
**[00:58] Ciel**
Danke, Freund. Tschüß.
**[01:07] Sullivan**
I-I'll go with you.
**[01:09] Sullivan**
I want to know more!
**[01:12] Sebastian**
Well, Fräulein Sullivan?
**[01:15] Sebastian**
The outside world is full of surprises,
wouldn't you agree?
**[01:20] Ciel**
The "werewolves" are really
mere humans in costumes.
**[01:24] Ciel**
And the "miasma" is really...
**[01:26] Ciel**
...a chemical weapon made
in this factory. It's a toxic gas.
**[01:30] Sullivan**
N-No...
**[01:33] Crone**
Take pride! You have created
the most powerful toxic gas in history!
**[01:40] Crone**
And that's right. Such a breakthrough
chemical weapon deserves a name.
**[01:46] Crone**
"SuLIN." I shall name it "sulin" gas!
**[02:01] Wolfram**
The emergency signal?
**[02:03] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[03:04] Sign**
Black Butler
**[03:06] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[04:26] Sullivan**
What I spent all that time
creating wasn't magic?
**[04:33] Sullivan**
It was toxic gas?
**[04:36] Sullivan**
I thought I was protecting the villagers.
**[04:41] Sullivan**
But I was creating a weapon?
Something whose only purpose is to kill?
**[04:52] Sullivan**
Everyone has been deceiving me all this time?
**[04:57] Sullivan**
Tell me that's not true, Elder!
**[05:01] Crone**
Why are you crying, Sieglinde?
**[05:07] Crone**
It's precisely because the fine mind
you were born with
**[05:10] Crone**
was given the optimal environment
in which to immerse itself in research
**[05:15] Crone**
that you were able to create
the ultimate chemical weapon.
**[05:20] Crone**
What is there to feel sad about?
You've changed history.
**[05:26] Crone**
You're the living incarnation
of the dear one I lost that day.
**[05:32] Sullivan**
What?
**[05:34] Crone**
So dry your tears,
**[05:37] Crone**
my beloved daughter.
**[05:42] Sullivan**
Daughter?
**[05:48] Crone**
You see, 13 years ago,
I participated in a certain military project.
**[05:56] Crone**
The project involved a gas so dangerous
**[06:00] Crone**
that for 20 long years it was considered
impossible to mass-produce.
**[06:06] Crone**
Its objective was to utilize this "mustard gas,"
as it is commonly called, to make weapons.
**[06:14] (Flashback) Spectacled scientist**
This is...
**[06:17] Crone**
Before long, a brilliant scientist
created a safe method of synthesizing it.
**[06:24] (Flashback) Spectacled scientist**
To our scientific success!
**[06:26] (Flashback) Researchers**
Prost!
**[06:30] (Flashback) Spectacled scientist**
Thank you.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Crone minus 13 years**
I should be thanking you.
It's an honour to work with you.
**[06:37] Crone**
Everything was going so well.
**[06:40] Crone**
But then...
**[06:43] Crone**
One day, there was an accident
at the gas manufacturing plant.
**[06:52] Crone**
He passed away.
**[06:59] (Flashback) Crone minus 13 years**
How is Herr Doktor?
**[07:02] Crone**
And I became unrecognizable.
**[07:10] Crone**
His mind was one of
our nation's greatest treasures.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Scientist A**
A great loss to our country.
**[07:15] (Flashback) Scientist B**
The project will stagnate without him.
**[07:18] Crone**
We were heartbroken.
**[07:23] Crone**
But...
**[07:27] Crone**
His genes took root inside me...
**[07:35] Crone**
...and began to grow anew.
**[07:39] Crone**
The child's talent blossomed immediately.
**[07:47] Crone**
She was a fluent reader by the age of three.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Servant**
Ma'am, the young mistress...
**[07:56] (Flashback) Crone minus 10 years**
What about her?
**[08:04] Crone**
She understood how to
synthesize mustard gas.
**[08:08] (Flashback) Crone minus 10 years**
You did this?
**[08:18] Crone**
In that moment, I knew. My beloved
had returned. His mind had returned to me!
**[08:27] Crone**
I negotiated with the government
at once and launched a new project.
**[08:33] Crone**
To wit...
**[08:35] Crone**
A project to develop the ultimate
weapon by cultivating a genius.
**[08:41] Crone**
The necessary conditions
for raising a scientific genius
**[08:45] Crone**
were an environment conducive to immersion
in study and sustained motivation.
**[08:50] Crone**
First, we had to remove the noise that interferes
with genius: ethics and common sense.
**[08:56] Crone**
Also, amusements, merrymaking,
and worldly pleasures.
**[09:00] Crone**
To isolate her from all of these,
we had to eliminate all traces of worldly life.
**[09:06] Crone**
We created the village for that purpose.
**[09:13] Crone**
And so that she would voluntarily
remain in this environment,
**[09:18] Crone**
we constructed an addictive Weltanschauung.
**[09:27] Crone**
Someone special to be: the Emerald Witch.
**[09:32] Crone**
A duty: to protect the villagers
from werewolves.
**[09:36] Crone**
And so, Wolfsschlucht,
the "Wolf's Valley," came into being.
**[09:43] Crone**
Yes, it's because you were here that
you were able to devote yourself to study,
**[09:48] Crone**
and develop a new weapon
in less than ten years.
**[09:52] Crone**
The project succeeded, Sieglinde!
**[10:00] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[10:04] Wolfram**
How dare you?
**[10:07] Sullivan**
You were deceiving me, too.
**[10:13] Sullivan**
You liar!
**[10:18] Ciel**
To make your weapon,
**[10:20] Ciel**
you crushed your daughter's feet
and threatened her with "duty."
**[10:24] Ciel**
Is that how a parent should act?
**[10:27] Ciel**
Children aren't their parents' tools.
**[10:35] Crone**
Sieglinde!
**[10:37] Wolfram**
Stop!
**[10:38] Man with facial hair**
Don't! What if you hit a gas canister?
**[10:41] Werewolves**
After them!
**[10:42] Werewolves**
Cut off their exit!
**[10:46] Ciel**
Sebastian, the rest is up to you.
**[10:50] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[10:57] Wolfram**
Young mistress...
**[10:58] Hilde**
Wolf! What's the matter?
**[11:00] Wolfram**
Hilde! The English have the young mistress!
**[11:02] Hilde**
What?
**[11:03] Wolfram**
And she found out about everything.
**[11:07] Wolfram**
They should be in Area A23 now.
I'm going after them!
**[11:12] Hilde**
Lieutenant!
**[11:15] Hilde**
First Lieutenant Wolfram Gelzer,
I trust you haven't forgotten.
**[11:21] Hilde**
The duty of the Emerald Witch's butler
**[11:24] Hilde**
is to dispose of the Emerald Witch
if an emergency necessitates it.
**[11:30] Wolfram**
Ja!
**[11:35] Mey-Rin**
It's gotten noisy, yes.
**[11:38] Baldroy**
Won't be long, then.
**[11:56] Diederich**
So it's begun.
**[11:59] Baldroy**
That's the signal.
**[12:00] Baldroy**
Our boss is calling.
**[12:03] Mey-Rin; Finnian; and maybe Snake?**
Yes, sir!
**[12:15] Ciel**
On the outside, all sorts of people
will want to use you.
**[12:20] Ciel**
One of them may make you suffer
even more than you did today.
**[12:28] Ciel**
So choose now.
**[12:31] Ciel**
Do you still want to go
to the outside world? Or...
**[12:38] Ciel**
Would you rather rest in peace here and now?
**[12:49] Sullivan**
It...
**[12:51] Sullivan**
It frightens me that I created that thing.
**[12:55] Sullivan**
I don't know what to believe in anymore.
**[12:59] Sullivan**
I don't want to think anymore.
**[13:03] Sullivan**
I just want to disappear.
**[13:09] Ciel**
Fair enough.
**[13:11] Ciel**
If you don't intend to use that brilliant mind,
**[13:14] Ciel**
might as well fertilize the weeds with it.
**[13:17] Ciel**
And if you die,
**[13:20] Ciel**
you won't have to hear the screams
of those you could have saved.
**[13:27] Sullivan**
"Saved"?
**[13:29] Ciel**
Since you created the ultimate poison
trying to save your people,
**[13:33] Ciel**
I thought you might be capable of
also creating the ultimate medicine.
**[13:37] Ciel**
That would seem magical enough
to amaze the world.
**[13:44] Sullivan**
A magical cure?
**[13:49] Sullivan**
Do you think I could do that?
**[13:54] Ciel**
Who knows? But it'll certainly
be impossible if you die here.
**[14:01] Ciel**
Emerald Witch, I shall ask you again:
**[14:05] Ciel**
Will you escape into death,
or live and take on the challenge?
**[14:10] Sullivan**
I...
**[14:12] Sullivan**
I want to live!
**[14:14] Sullivan**
I want to live and take on the challenge!
**[14:19] Ciel**
Very well.
**[14:22] Ciel**
Let's leave the forest together, Sullivan.
**[14:32] Ciel**
We need to leave here before they catch up.
That star shell revealed our position.
**[14:38] Ciel**
We'll rendezvous with my servants at once.
**[14:41] Sullivan**
What about Sebastian? If they use
the miasma... no, the mustard gas...
**[14:46] Ciel**
Don't worry.
**[14:49] Ciel**
My butler is very skilled.
**[14:52] Man with facial hair**
Professorin Sullivan! It's too dangerous here!
**[14:54] Crone**
Bring her back! Quickly!
**[14:58] Werewolf A**
Damn the English. I can't believe
they caught wind of us and sent a spy.
**[15:03] Sebastian**
I am not a spy.
**[15:07] Sebastian**
I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[15:12] Werewolf A**
He disappeared?
**[15:13] Werewolf A**
When did he get up there?
**[15:15] Sebastian**
Goodness. Your protective gear
is made of strong stuff.
**[15:21] Sebastian**
Now I understand how you took an attack
from our gardener and stayed on your feet.
**[15:35] Sebastian**
Which means...
**[15:39] Sebastian**
I should aim for the head.
**[15:42] Werewolf A**
Damn it.
**[15:43] Werewolf A**
Use the mustard gas.
**[15:49] Werewolf A**
That'll bring him down easily.
**[15:52] Werewolf A**
He has no protective clothing,
or even a mask.
**[15:56] Werewolf C**
What?!
**[15:58] Werewolf D**
A mask... A mask... Give me a mask!
**[16:05] Sebastian**
"Mustard gas" is quite the apt name.
**[16:09] Sebastian**
I knew this scent reminded me of something.
**[16:13] Sebastian**
It's mustard, isn't it?
**[16:19] Sebastian**
My young master refuses to eat mustard,
so I couldn't place it at first.
**[16:24] Werewolf A**
Why? Why won't he die?
**[16:26] Werewolf A**
Has England trained up
gas-resistant soldiers or something?
**[16:33] Werewolf**
My throat!
**[16:41] Sebastian**
A Phantomhive butler who can't withstand
a little toxic gas isn't worth his salt.
**[16:54] Sebastian**
Now, then...
**[17:04] Crone**
You take the sample upstairs.
**[17:06] Man with facial hair**
Right!
**[17:08] Crone**
The formation instructions.
These are all I need to mass-produce—
**[17:14] Sebastian**
Some people preach illogical things
like love and affection,
**[17:19] Sebastian**
while others are able to sacrifice
their families as rationally as can be.
**[17:27] Sebastian**
Humans are truly fascinating creatures.
**[17:35] Crone**
The gas alarm? Why?
**[17:41] Crone**
I-It smells like... mustard...
**[17:46] Sebastian**
You love gas, don't you? Enough to offer up
your precious daughter's whole life.
**[17:55] Sebastian**
This is a token of my thanks
for exposing my young master to it.
**[18:01] Sebastian**
It's been a while since you smelt the scent of
death your beloved created. How do you like it?
**[18:18] Sebastian**
Dearie me.
**[18:27] (Flashback) Ciel**
Sebastian, you're to destroy any and all
instructions for the weapon Sullivan made.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Very good.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Sebastian**
How would you like it done?
**[18:40] (Flashback) Ciel**
Your choice.
**[18:41] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Oh, my. Are you sure?
**[18:45] (Flashback) Ciel**
I won't be there, and there
won't be any human survivors.
**[18:50] (Flashback) Ciel**
Let your beastly instincts run free.
**[18:56] Sebastian**
Ah, my lord...
**[19:00] Sebastian**
I fear you have the wrong idea.
**[19:07] Sebastian**
What gives me the most amusement
now is my game with you,
**[19:11] Sebastian**
constrained by your "butler" requirement.
**[19:15] Sebastian**
Not following my every impulse
and acting like a beast.
**[19:29] Sebastian**
However, if you prefer me "beastly,"
I'll act the part for you.
**[19:38] Sebastian**
I am merely one hell of a butler, after all.
**[19:47] Baldroy**
Oi, you'd better be taking us
in the right direction!
**[19:50] Snake**
"I can smell Smile from this direction."
...says Goethe.
**[19:55] Mey-Rin**
I see them, yes.
**[19:58] Baldroy**
Young master!
**[19:59] Ciel**
Here they are.
**[20:03] Baldroy**
All right?
**[20:05] Ciel**
Yes.
**[20:08] Ciel**
Now, let's split into two groups as planned.
**[20:13] Ciel**
Time to begin our evacuation.
**[20:21] Alert voice**
* Fire alert! Fire alert! A fire has*
* broken out in manufacturing facility, B4!*
**[20:24] Servant girl**
The elevators are damaged.
The firefighting unit can't use them to go down.
**[20:27] Hilde**
Never mind that. What about the new gas?
**[20:29] Servant girl**
We may have lost the instructions in the fire.
**[20:31] Servant girl**
They're reporting the Englishman
absconded with the sample phial.
**[20:35] Hilde**
Curses. What the devil happened?
**[20:38] Wolfram**
Hilde.
**[20:39] Wolfram**
Or rather, Major Hilde Dickhaut.
**[20:44] Wolfram**
If the instructions are lost, then capturing
the Emerald Witch is top priority.
**[20:49] Wolfram**
Shouldn't the mustard gas
spraying be aborted?
**[20:54] Hilde**
I suppose we have no choice.
**[20:57] Anne**
Major!
**[20:59] Anne**
Anne Drewanz, Kommandant,
1st Special Commando Unit.
**[21:02] Grete**
Grete Hilbard, Kommandant,
2nd Special Commando Unit.
**[21:05] Grete**
Ready to sortie.
**[21:08] Anne**
We've identified where
the star shell was fired.
**[21:10] Anne**
We're also prepared to operate
the new prototype weapon.
**[21:14] Hilde**
Well done.
**[21:15] Wolfram**
Prototype? Don't tell me you mean to use *that*?
**[21:19] Hilde**
Yes. Our primary objective
is to recover the Emerald Witch.
**[21:24] Hilde**
But if she sets foot outside the forest...
**[21:29] Hilde**
Kill her!
**[21:30] Anne; Grete; Wolfram**
Ja!

**[00:01] Sullivan**
I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
the ruler of this forest.
**[00:06] Wolfram**
Where the hell're *you* from?
**[00:09] Sullivan**
Stop that, Wolfram.
**[00:11] Wolfram**
Ow, ow, ow!
**[00:11] Sullivan**
I apologize. We haven't had
visitors from outside in some time.
**[00:15] Sullivan**
I've never left this village in my life,
**[00:19] Sullivan**
and I don't think I ever will.
**[00:22] Sullivan**
I'd like you to tell me about the outside world.
About the world I don't know.
**[00:30] Ciel**
Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
**[00:35] Sullivan**
First, teach me your country's language.
**[00:38] Sebastian**
It's a collection of English home remedies.
**[00:42] Sullivan**
What?
**[00:46] Sullivan**
I didn't think it would be ready so soon!
**[00:48] Sebastian**
Wait, my lady.
**[00:50] Sebastian**
Silverware is arranged from
outside to inside in order of usage.
**[00:54] Sebastian**
It is always better to have more knowledge.
**[00:59] Sullivan**
Knowledge?
**[01:01] Sullivan**
That's a good point!
**[01:04] Sullivan**
Th-These wounds are...
**[01:06] Villager A**
I think Herr Werwolf is angry because
outsiders are here. And *men*, at that.
**[01:12] Anne**
More people will be hurt if this goes on!
**[01:15] Anne**
Please, Fräulein Sullivan,
protect our village!
**[01:19] Crone**
Why do you hesitate, Emerald Witch?
**[01:22] Crone**
Focus on completing the Ultimate Spell
before being so smitten with the outside world.
**[01:30] Sullivan**
Very well.
**[01:32] Sullivan**
I'll have them leave tomorrow.
**[01:40] Wolfram**
I'm so sorry, young mistress.
**[01:43] Wolfram**
I... I...
**[01:46] Sullivan**
Wolf, don't cry.
**[01:49] Sullivan**
I'll complete the Ultimate Spell
and protect you all.
**[02:11] Sullivan**
O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!
**[02:18] Sebastian**
Good evening, Fräulein Sullivan.
**[02:21] Sebastian**
We've arranged to give you
what you want the most.
**[02:25] Sebastian**
You'll be able to gain knowledge and
have experiences you could never have here.
**[02:35] Sebastian**
I-I'll go with you.
**[02:38] Sullivan**
I want to know more!
**[02:42] Sebastian**
Your hand, please.
**[02:46] Sebastian**
We'll escort you into the unknown.
**[02:51] Werewolf 1**
The Emerald Witch.
**[02:52] Werewolf 2**
It's the Emerald Witch.
**[02:54] Werewolves**
Secure her!
**[02:57] Werewolf 3**
Are you all right?!
**[02:58] Werewolf 4**
Get her a suit, quickly!
**[02:59] Sullivan**
What in the world...
**[03:01] Ciel**
Quite the elaborate farce.
**[03:03] Ciel**
The "werewolves" are really
mere humans in costumes.
**[03:07] Ciel**
And the "miasma" is really...
**[03:10] Ciel**
...a chemical weapon made
in this factory. It's a toxic gas.
**[03:14] Crone**
Take pride! You have created
the most powerful toxic gas in history!
**[03:21] Sullivan**
I thought I was protecting the villagers.
**[03:24] Sullivan**
But I was creating a weapon?
Something whose only purpose is to kill?
**[03:28] Sullivan**
Tell me that's not true, Elder!
**[03:32] Crone**
Why are you crying, Sieglinde?
**[03:36] Crone**
It's precisely because the fine mind
you were born with
**[03:38] Crone**
was given the optimal environment
in which to immerse itself in research
**[03:43] Crone**
that you were able to create
the ultimate chemical weapon.
**[03:47] Crone**
So dry your tears,
**[03:50] Crone**
my beloved daughter.
**[03:53] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[03:54] Sullivan**
You were deceiving me, too.
**[03:59] Sullivan**
You liar!
**[04:06] Sullivan**
It frightens me that I created that thing.
**[04:13] Sullivan**
I don't know what to believe in anymore.
**[04:16] Sullivan**
I don't want to think anymore.
**[04:19] Sullivan**
I just want to disappear.
**[04:23] Ciel**
Since you created the ultimate poison
trying to save your people,
**[04:28] Ciel**
I thought you might be capable of
also creating the ultimate medicine.
**[04:32] Ciel**
That would seem magical enough
to amaze the world.
**[04:38] Sullivan**
A magical cure?
**[04:43] Ciel**
Let's leave the forest together, Sullivan.
**[05:02] Sebastian**
What gives me the most amusement
now is my game with you,
**[05:06] Sebastian**
constrained by your "butler" requirement.
**[05:11] Sebastian**
Not following my every impulse
and acting like a beast.
**[05:16] Sebastian**
However, if you prefer me "beastly,"
I'll act the part for you.
**[05:23] Sebastian**
I am merely one hell of a butler, after all.
**[06:18] Sign**
Black Butler
**[06:20] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[07:45] Wolfram**
They've split up, eh?
**[07:56] Wolfram**
So the young mistress went right.
**[07:58] Grete**
Securing the Emerald Witch
is our top priority!
**[08:01] Grete**
Main force, take the right-hand path.
**[08:03] Grete**
My unit will take the other one.
**[08:06] Soldiers**
Ja!
**[08:16] Snake**
"I hear footsteps!
They're catching up!" ...says Oscar.
**[08:20] Baldroy**
Scary good hearing!
Snakes must have great ears, huh?
**[08:25] Snake**
"Not ears. We pick up vibrations
through our skin." ...says Wordsworth.
**[08:33] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[08:35] Baldroy**
Here they come! Make 'em dance.
**[08:49] Baldroy**
I had some real bad experiences
with snakes in Arizona,
**[08:52] Baldroy**
but they're damn cool
when they're your allies!
**[08:55] Snake**
"Don't invade a girl's territory if you don't
want to get bitten!" ...says Emily.
**[09:02] Wolfram**
Halt!
**[09:04] Baldroy**
I still don't speak German!
**[09:12] Baldroy**
I'll buy a little time here. You go on ahead.
**[09:22] Baldroy**
Don't drop the young mistress.
**[09:25] Snake**
"Right!" ...says Oscar.
**[09:30] Baldroy**
Now, let's try this baby out.
**[09:35] Wolfram**
They've got a good soldier.
**[09:41] Soldier A**
A jam tin?
**[09:47] Wolfram**
Get down!
**[09:47] Soldiers**
Huh?
**[09:57] Soldier C**
Kommandant Hilbard, wasn't it a risk
to leave that whole unit with the butler?
**[10:03] Grete**
You think he's just an ordinary butler?
**[10:06] Grete**
When you're hiring a butler
for the Emerald Witch,
**[10:09] Grete**
it's not about service skills.
**[10:18] Grete**
It's about exceptional battle skills.
**[10:36] Wolfram**
Curse him.
**[10:42] Baldroy**
*He's fast! And what's with his footwork?*
**[10:44] Baldroy**
*It's like a wild animal's.*
**[10:53] Baldroy**
Get back here, you bastard!
**[10:59] Baldroy**
Tch.
**[11:01] Baldroy**
Snake! One got by me!
**[11:20] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[11:27] Ciel**
Excellent work.
**[11:30] Ciel**
Here's your tip.
**[11:41] Finnian**
Keep your head down, please!
We haven't reached safety.
**[11:45] Sullivan**
R-Right.
**[11:47] Soldier D**
The target is holding a child,
and it's slowing him down!
**[11:49] Soldier D**
Aim carefully!
**[11:57] (Flashback) Ciel**
Our highest priority is to get
Sullivan out of the forest.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Ciel**
That's why you will take her, Finny.
**[12:06] (Flashback) Finnian**
Me?
**[12:07] (Flashback) Ciel**
That's right. Live up to your name
and outrun them all.
**[12:16] Finnian**
*"Finnian" is my name.*
**[12:19] Finnian**
* The young master gave it*
* to me that day. It's special.*
**[12:41] (Flashback) Ciel**
I'll give you a name.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Finnian**
A name?
**[12:49] (Flashback) Ciel**
Well, you can't very well go by
"Subject 12" forever, can you?
**[12:55] (Flashback) Ciel**
You have fine blond hair.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Ciel**
In a certain old tongue,
the word for "fair-haired" was "finn."
**[13:07] (Flashback) Ciel**
The protagonist of these stories is named Finn,
referring to his handsome blond hair.
**[13:14] (Flashback) Ciel**
A fair-haired boy who could outrun
a wild hare in the forest and outfight a stag.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Ciel**
Doesn't he sound a lot like you?
**[13:29] (Flashback) Ciel**
So how about "Finnian"?
**[13:35] (Flashback) Finnian**
Finnian?
**[13:40] (Flashback) Sebastian**
It's a bit la-di-da, but I think it's fine.
**[13:44] (Flashback) Sebastian**
It's much better than a *dog's* name, at least.
**[13:51] (Flashback) Ciel**
You may have this book.
**[13:55] (Flashback) Ciel**
Learn your letters quickly
so you can read it. Understood, Finnian?
**[14:11] (Flashback) Finnian**
Yes!
**[14:13] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Why, I've never seen such
a human expression on your face.
**[14:19] (Flashback) Sebastian**
However, you still have to learn
to speak more like a servant,
**[14:25] (Flashback) Sebastian**
and to rein in your strength
so it is at a more human level.
**[14:31] Finnian**
* That day, I turned from*
* a weapon into a gardener.*
**[14:35] Finnian**
* But if my young master*
* needs the weapon's might...*
**[14:41] Finnian**
Fräulein Sullivan.
**[14:44] Finnian**
It'll get a bit bumpy. Please keep your
mouth closed so you don't bite your tongue.
**[14:56] Solider F**
H-How'd he just take off like that?
**[15:02] Finnian**
* I'll get through this forest*
* faster than a wild hare.*
**[15:05] Finnian**
*Faster than a bullet. Faster than anyone.*
**[15:09] Finnian**
*Because I...*
**[15:18] Finnian**
*...am Finnian!*
**[15:30] Soldier G**
H-He *jumped*?
**[15:35] Soldier H**
The river below is shallow.
A jump from this height spells death—
**[15:42] Finnian**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[15:45] Finnian**
My feet sting!
**[15:50] Soldier G**
Wh-What?
**[15:53] Soldier F**
Well, I can get them
while they're standing still.
**[16:02] Soldier I**
Where the hell are we taking fire from?
**[16:05] Soldier J**
R-Retreat! Retreat!
**[16:21] Mey-Rin**
Something just moved.
**[16:24] Grete**
* I made the right call*
* circling around via another route.*
**[16:28] Grete**
*The men were as useless as ever.*
**[16:31] Grete**
*But I, Grete Hilbard, will stop them here.*
**[16:35] Mey-Rin**
Finny!
**[16:58] Grete**
Did he just slice my bullet in half?
**[17:01] Tanaka**
Finny, continue on your way.
**[17:04] Tanaka**
This old man shall take over here.
**[17:09] Tanaka**
Whatever his master orders, a true
Phantomhive servant can and shall carry it out.
**[17:23] Sebastian**
I believe that should do it.
**[17:27] Sebastian**
Oh, gosh. Would you look at the time?
**[17:31] Sebastian**
I'll be late for breakfast if I don't hurry.
**[17:56] Sebastian**
What's that noise?
**[18:20] Ciel**
*He dodged? At such close range?*
**[18:33] Wolfram**
You people...
**[18:36] Wolfram**
If you people hadn't come...
**[18:43] Wolfram**
the young mistress wouldn't...
**[18:48] Snake**
Smile!
**[18:51] Baldroy**
Young master!
**[18:54] Baldroy**
Crap. I won't make it in time.
**[19:09] Diederich**
Care to explain what this is all about?
**[19:13] Diederich**
Nobody told *me* there was a daughter.
**[19:19] Ciel**
You...
**[19:35] (Flashback) Diederich**
Oi, you. Phantomhive's son.
Quit being so jumpy.
**[19:41] (Flashback) Diederich**
I don't bite, you know.
**[19:46] (Flashback) Victor**
You always seem angry.
That's why he's afraid of you.
**[19:51] (Flashback) Diederich**
I am *not* angry!
**[19:55] (Flashback) Victor**
I know.
**[19:56] (Flashback) Victor**
And I also know you're actually
a kind, dependable, good person.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Diederich**
Where did *that* come from?
It was quite unnerving.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Victor**
And that's why I'm sure that
if anything happens to me,
**[20:14] (Flashback) Victor**
he'll help you two.
**[20:21] (Flashback) Victor**
Won't you?
**[20:27] (Flashback) Diederich**
Is that an order?
**[20:30] (Flashback) Victor**
More of a request, I suppose.
**[20:34] (Flashback) Diederich**
You're too much of
a pain in the arse to die before me.
**[20:39] (Flashback) Victor**
Still, one never knows.
**[20:44] (Flashback) Victor**
I don't think even God knows
what will happen to us and when.
**[20:51] (Flashback) Victor**
So...
**[20:54] (Flashback) Victor**
If push comes to shove, I'm counting on you.
**[21:00] Diederich**
I can't believe I still have
to clean up his messes at my age.
**[21:06] Diederich**
I thought I'd finally been freed.
**[21:10] Ciel**
You're the same as ever, Diederich.
**[21:16] Ciel**
Though you do *look* quite different.
**[21:21] Diederich**
Just whose fault is that?
**[21:24] Diederich**
And another thing...
**[21:26] Diederich**
Don't call me by my first name.
**[21:29] Diederich**
I'm not your drudge!

**[00:01] Ciel**
Her Majesty has ordered me to investigate
**[00:04] Ciel**
a series of suspicious deaths in Germany.
**[00:08] Sebastian**
Young master?!
**[00:11] Ciel**
A-A werewolf?
**[00:13] Sebastian**
What?
**[00:14] Sebastian**
*Me*, crying?
**[00:19] Sebastian**
Young master!
**[00:21] Ciel**
Se-bas-tian...
**[00:28] Sebastian**
Young master!
**[00:31] Ciel**
Ciel... No more pain!
**[00:34] Ciel**
It's dark. Where are we?
**[00:37] Sebastian**
Does that mean...
**[00:37] Ciel**
I'm scared.
**[00:38] Tanaka**
I believe he has lost his sight.
**[00:41] Sullivan**
The forest's miasma weakens
the human spirit and amplifies fear.
**[00:46] Sullivan**
There may be a reason the gardener
is allowed near him while others are not.
**[00:51] Sebastian**
No evil entity's miasma
should be able to affect me.
**[00:55] Sebastian**
So what exactly was it?
And who was that "werewolf"?
**[01:00] Sebastian**
This must be the magical staff.
**[01:03] Sebastian**
The Theban alphabet
commonly used by witches.
**[01:06] Sebastian**
O, P, F, C, H.
**[01:13] Sebastian**
This could be...
**[01:15] Baldroy**
Y-Young master, please come out.
**[01:15] Ciel**
I don't wanna be here anymore! I wanna go home!
**[01:20] Snake**
"Calm down, Smile!"
**[01:22] Ciel**
I'm scared.
**[01:26] Ciel**
I wanna go home! Right now!
**[01:35] Mysterious Boy**
What are you so afraid of?
**[01:38] Ciel**
It's pitch black.
**[01:40] Ciel**
I can't see anything.
**[01:42] Mysterious Boy**
I know everything about you.
**[01:46] Mysterious Boy**
You're afraid of looking head-on...
**[01:50] Mysterious Boy**
at the proof of your sin
right there next to you.
**[01:57] Mysterious Boy**
You're such a fool.
**[02:01] Mysterious Boy**
No one asked you to seek vengeance, you know.
**[02:08] Sebastian**
I believe you have more pressing duties
than wrapping yourself in down bedclothes
**[02:13] Sebastian**
and dwelling on regrets and fears.
**[02:16] Sebastian**
Now get out of bed.
**[02:20] Sebastian**
Abandoning your revenge
is a breach of our contract.
**[02:27] Sebastian**
Alas.
**[02:29] Sebastian**
What a dull ending to our story.
**[02:33] Sebastian**
I pity those who have lost
their lives for someone so *dull*.
**[02:39] Sebastian**
This isn't the meal I'd been hoping for.
**[02:42] Sebastian**
But I suppose it will slake
the hunger for a little while.
**[02:46] Ciel**
I remember why I made a pact with a demon.
**[02:51] Ciel**
The real reason I wanted power
great enough to go against anyone...
**[02:55] Ciel**
Not for anyone else's sake.
**[02:58] Ciel**
For my own sake!
**[02:59] Ciel**
Sebastian!
**[03:06] Ciel**
That's not a very nice way to treat your master.
**[03:09] Sebastian**
I apologise.
**[03:13] Sebastian**
Good morning, my lord.
**[03:18] Sullivan**
The outside world?
**[03:20] Sullivan**
B-But the village laws say...
**[03:25] Ciel**
Ah, I see.
**[03:27] Ciel**
Danke, Freund. Tschüß.
**[03:33] Sullivan**
I want to know more!
**[03:40] Ciel**
What is this "Emerald Witch's duty"?
**[03:43] Ciel**
Does it have something to do with
the reason you can't leave the village?
**[03:47] Sullivan**
Having lost their magic,
the werewolves called upon us witches.
**[03:52] Sullivan**
They told us to repay them for protecting
the forest by creating a wellspring of miasma.
**[03:58] Sullivan**
The miasma you encountered in the forest
is what's left of an ancient working.
**[04:03] Sebastian**
I see. So that's the history
you were taught, is it?
**[04:09] Crone**
Our Emerald Witch has accomplished it at last!
**[04:17] Sebastian**
Well, Fräulein Sullivan?
**[04:19] Sebastian**
The outside world is full of surprises,
wouldn't you agree?
**[04:24] Ciel**
To make your weapon,
**[04:26] Ciel**
you crushed your daughter's feet
and threatened her with "duty."
**[04:30] Ciel**
Is that how a parent should act?
**[04:32] Ciel**
Children aren't their parents' tools.
**[04:36] Ciel**
Sebastian, the rest is up to you.
**[04:39] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[04:43] Werewolf A**
When did he get up there?
**[04:44] Ciel**
Sebastian, you're to destroy any and all
instructions for the weapon Sullivan made.
**[04:52] Sebastian**
How would you like it done?
**[04:54] Ciel**
Your choice.
**[04:56] Ciel**
Let your beastly instincts run free.
**[05:05] Victoria**
To create a wonderful world...
**[05:08] Victoria**
I must have the hunter get rid
of those scary wolves at once.
**[05:15] Victoria**
"It would give me great pleasure if the
little witch would come to tea with me."
**[05:27] Diederich**
I can't believe I still have
to clean up his messes at my age.
**[05:33] Diederich**
I thought I'd finally been freed.
**[05:37] Ciel**
You're the same as ever, Diederich.
**[05:43] Diederich**
Don't call me by my first name.
**[05:45] Diederich**
I'm not your drudge!
**[05:51] Diederich**
Now, stubble-cheeks!
**[05:53] Wolfram**
Blast!
**[05:55] Baldroy**
You mean me?
**[05:56] Diederich**
Made you look!
**[06:05] Wolfram**
Shit.
**[06:08] Ciel**
D-Diederich...
**[06:10] Ciel**
Thanks. But what are you doing here?
**[06:13] Diederich**
I would've thought that was obvious.
**[06:16] Diederich**
I'm here because *you* poked a hornet's nest.
**[06:19] Diederich**
Stay out of sight.
You're just as bad as your father.
**[06:23] Ciel**
If it's the toxic gas
you're worried about, we—
**[06:26] Diederich**
No!
**[06:27] Diederich**
The gas wasn't the whole of it.
The army uses this forest for—
**[06:31] Diederich**
Watch out!
**[06:51] Diederich**
Curses. I was too late.
**[06:53] Ciel**
What the devil was that?
**[07:00] Baldroy**
You all right, young master?
**[07:13] Ciel**
And now we have an earthquake?
**[07:17] Diederich**
It's no earthquake.
**[07:19] Ciel**
Something's...
**[07:21] Ciel**
What *is* that?
**[07:36] Baldroy**
A-A mobile cannon?
**[07:42] Diederich**
Don't just stand there, you string beans. Run!
**[07:45] Baldroy**
What the hell *is* that thing? It's huge!
**[07:50] Diederich**
It's the latest armoured
land vehicle: the Panzer.

"Panzer"?
**[09:59] Diederich**
It was developed so that heavy cannons
can be transported over land, not just by sea.
**[10:05] Diederich**
Your country's making them, too, aren't they?
**[10:08] Ciel**
So I've heard, but no one said
anything about a finished model.
**[10:13] Ciel**
I had no idea the Germans were
this far along with their development.
**[10:20] Hilde**
Increase angle by 0.5!
**[10:23] Anne**
Ja!
**[10:24] Hilde**
Infantry, forward!
**[10:34] Baldroy**
Damn it all!
**[10:37] Baldroy**
That didn't even scratch it?
**[10:39] Diederich**
Oi, stubble-cheeks!
**[10:41] Diederich**
You can't survive a hit from that thing.
Right now, we need to run.
**[10:46] Diederich**
Oi, Junior. How did you plan
to clear the forest?
**[10:49] Ciel**
Even I wasn't expecting *that*.
**[10:53] Diederich**
When they built Wolfsschlucht, they transported
supplies via a military railway to the east.
**[10:58] Diederich**
If any trains are still operable,
we should be able to get clear.
**[11:02] Ciel**
All right, let's bet on that.
**[11:09] Baldroy**
Young master!
**[11:10] Ciel**
* Drat. I'm suddenly feeling*
* the damage from before.*
**[11:17] Anne**
Loading complete!
**[11:24] Diederich**
Junior!
**[11:26] Hilde**
Fire!
**[11:49] Baldroy**
Y-Young master...
**[11:59] Sebastian**
Good grief.
**[12:03] Sebastian**
Aren't you a mess?
**[12:06] Baldroy**
Sebastian!
**[12:09] Sebastian**
You go to the trouble of dressing
like *that*, then botch the job?
**[12:14] Sebastian**
You could've just left the whole thing to me.
**[12:18] Ciel**
I don't want to hear that
from someone who showed up late.
**[12:23] Diederich**
Hurry up, you two! The next round is coming!
**[12:30] Wolfram**
*They fired without any hesitation.*
**[12:33] Wolfram**
* They can't possibly know yet*
* that he isn't the young mistress!*
**[12:37] Wolfram**
*Clearly, Hilde...*
**[12:40] Wolfram**
*no, the imperial army...*
**[12:43] Wolfram**
*...intended to kill her all along!*
**[12:52] Ciel**
The sulin gas?
**[12:54] Sebastian**
Right here, my lord.
I took all the test batches.
**[12:57] Ciel**
Baldo. Snake. You two go
to the railway with Diederich.
**[13:02] Ciel**
Then, point Finny there with a star shell.
**[13:05] Snake; Baldroy**
Yes, sir!
**[13:06] Snake**
...says Oscar.
**[13:09] Ciel**
Diederich, you hold on to this.
**[13:14] Diederich**
Dropping this could've killed us all!
**[13:16] Diederich**
Of *course* you hand the most dangerous thing
off to me. You're no better than your fath—
**[13:20] Ciel**
I'm relying on you.
**[13:21] Diederich**
Oi!
**[13:22] Ciel**
You and I will deal with that thing, Sebastian.
**[13:26] Sebastian**
Very good.
**[13:36] Diederich**
Oi!
**[13:37] Baldroy**
They'll be fine, sir.
**[13:39] Baldroy**
The young master's got some kinda plan.
**[13:42] Baldroy**
And our butler's a talented bloke!
**[13:48] Diederich**
Stay alive, Junior.
**[13:50] Ciel**
Oi, you can put me down already.
**[13:53] Sebastian**
No, my lord, I'm afraid
I neglected to bring spare shoes.
**[13:59] Sebastian**
I would be a terrible butler if I let
my master walk around shoeless.
**[14:04] Sebastian**
Moreover...
**[14:06] Sebastian**
Since you are compact enough
to pass for the Emerald Witch,
**[14:12] Sebastian**
please feel free to remain ladylike...
**[14:16] Sebastian**
...young mistress.
**[14:18] Ciel**
Why, you!
**[14:19] Sebastian**
I jest. Now, young master...
**[14:24] Ciel**
This is an order.
**[14:28] Ciel**
Destroy the Panzer!
**[14:31] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[14:42] Hilde**
What can two people do alone?
**[14:47] Hilde**
Driver, hard about!
**[14:49] Hilde**
Prepare to fire.
**[14:51] Hilde**
Fire!
**[15:07] Sebastian**
I see. They have a 360° range of attack.
**[15:36] Ciel**
What's wrong?
**[15:37] Sebastian**
Evidently, its armour
is thicker than I imagined.
**[15:40] Sebastian**
The infantry are in the way as well.
**[15:43] Ciel**
A vehicle that size can't be
entirely covered in solid steel.
**[15:47] Ciel**
It would be too heavy to
propel itself at that speed.
**[15:52] Ciel**
They're sure to have reduced the weight
by making certain parts thinner.
**[15:57] Ciel**
They'll have picked spots
they don't have to protect.
**[16:06] Ciel**
In which case...
**[16:10] Ciel**
Sebastian, get us in close again.
Let's start by swatting the flies.
**[16:16] Sebastian**
At once.
**[16:48] Foot Soldier E**
What? Did he just jump...
**[16:56] Ciel**
It's a good job I got these from Baldo.
**[17:00] Ciel**
Well, that's it for the hors d'oeuvres.
**[17:02] Ciel**
Only the main course remains.
**[17:05] Hilde**
The foot soldiers are down.
Driver, hard about!
**[17:08] Driver**
Ja!
**[17:14] Hilde**
This time, we'll finish them.
**[17:16] Ciel**
Here they come, Sebastian.
**[17:18] Ciel**
Go!
**[17:19] Hilde**
Fool. I can't believe you're coming to us.
**[17:22] Hilde**
Fire!
**[17:41] Hilde**
What's happening?
**[17:43] Hilde**
Where did he go?
**[17:58] Sebastian**
My young master was right.
**[18:03] Sebastian**
The top is thin and soft.
**[18:25] Sebastian**
My goodness.
**[18:27] Sebastian**
Huddled together in this little box...
**[18:30] Sebastian**
trembling...
**[18:33] Sebastian**
you're like poor mice in a trap.
**[18:41] Hilde**
He's a monster.
**[18:42] Sebastian**
My master has a gift for you unfortunate lot.
**[18:47] Sebastian**
Here. Provisions specially made by our chef.
**[18:54] Sebastian**
Please enjoy.
**[19:03] Ciel**
Now it's less a mobile warship
and more a mobile oven.
**[19:09] Sebastian**
Indeed, my lord.

Died of multiple lacerations August 17, 1889.
**[19:48] Ludger**
No notes of interest.
**[19:52] Ludger**
Demons may have pretty faces,
but they sure do disgusting things.
**[19:57] Ludger**
What now, Sascha?
**[20:02] Ludger**
Hey!
**[20:03] Ludger**
Why are you so far away?
**[20:08] Ludger**
You left me talking to myself.
**[20:11] Sascha**
Sorry, Ludger. It's just the notes
from the English branch are fascinating.
**[20:23] Sascha**
I think things are about to get interesting.
**[22:30] Ludger**
You certainly seem entertained, Sascha.
**[22:34] Sascha**
Of course I am! Just think of it,
Ludger: England and Germany!
**[22:39] Sascha**
Doesn't it thrill you
to think what might happen?
**[22:44] Ludger**
I'd wager there aren't many grim reapers
out there who enjoy the job as much as you do.
**[22:48] Sascha**
I love it! I'm so glad I became a reaper.
**[22:53] Sascha**
What do you think will happen next, Ludger?
**[22:57] Sascha**
Personally, my theory is—
**[22:59] Ludger**
Ah, we can discuss that later.
**[23:02] Ludger**
The immediate question is,
how do we deal with the demon?
**[23:04] Sascha**
I think we can just leave him be.
His contracted is with him.
**[23:08] Ludger**
That girl, you mean?
**[23:09] Sascha**
No.
**[23:12] Ludger**
Where is the contracted, then?
**[23:13] Sascha**
Oh, no, that's not what I meant.
**[23:16] Sascha**
That *is* his contracted,
but according to this, he's a boy.
**[23:21] Ludger**
What? Really?
**[23:23] Sascha**
He's had a very interesting career, too.
**[23:27] Sascha**
His family, the Phantomhives,
do the English Crown's dirty work.

Young master?
**[02:00] Ciel**
Those outfits—are they reapers?
**[02:04] Ludger**
You were right, Sascha.
Looking closely, you can tell he's male.
**[02:07] Sascha**
He noticed us!
**[02:11] Ludger**
Well, he may have one foot in the grave
after making a deal with a demon.
**[02:15] Ludger**
Humans near death notice us more easily,
since we essentially *are* death.
**[02:20] Ludger**
That, or...
**[02:23] Ludger**
It may be a matter of lineage.
**[02:28] Sascha**
Really? If so, that makes things
even more interesting!
**[02:33] Ludger**
Either way, we need to move on
to our next collection.
**[02:37] Sascha**
Right!
**[02:44] Ciel**
They vanished.
**[02:46] Sebastian**
That lot always show up when humans die.
**[02:50] Sebastian**
Though the fact they didn't bother us puts them
ahead of the English reapers in my book.
**[02:57] Sebastian**
Come, let's hurry onwards.
**[03:00] Ciel**
Right.

*Who* is *this man? He can get
in close without making a sound.*
**[05:37] Grete**
*No one can daunt me.*
**[05:42] Grete**
* He has the advantage at close range.*
* I need to create some distance.*
**[05:58] Grete**

*Where?*
**[06:05] Grete**
*Guess retreat's my only choice.*
**[06:20] Mey-Rin**
Tanaka, are you hurt?
**[06:23] Tanaka**
I'm perfectly all right.
**[06:26] Tanaka**
Thank you for the support.
**[06:29] Tanaka**
Apparently, even I'm not immune
to the effects of aging.
**[06:39] Mey-Rin**
Should we pursue her?
**[06:41] Tanaka**
No, let's not chance it.
**[06:50] Tanaka**
The young master is signalling
a change in direction.
**[06:53] Tanaka**
Something must have happened. Let's hurry.
**[06:57] Mey-Rin**
Yes, sir.
**[07:10] Baldroy**
Over there?
**[07:12] Diederich**
Yes, assuming my memory
and intel haven't failed me.
**[07:37] Diederich**
The military railway should be through here.
**[07:41] Diederich**
Hopefully, one of the trains still runs...
**[07:43] Baldroy**
Wait.
**[07:45] Snake**
"Someone's inside. I can hear six or
seven people walking around." ...says Oscar.
**[07:51] Diederich**
You can tell that much detail?
**[07:54] Diederich**
Junior has hired quite
a singular servant, I see.
**[07:58] Diederich**
His taste in help is different
to his father's, yet just as strange.
**[08:03] Diederich**
The enemy's presence must mean
the railway is still in use.
**[08:08] Diederich**
This is good news.
We may get a train running quickly.
**[08:14] Diederich**
You stay here and hold on to this.
**[08:19] Diederich**
Let's go, stubble-cheeks.
**[08:21] Baldroy**
Roger that.
**[08:26] Crew member A**
Wh-Who's there?
**[08:28] Crew member B**
I-Intruders?!
**[08:30] Crew member C**
How did you get in—
**[08:44] Baldroy**
It's over.
**[08:45] Snake**
"R-Right."
**[08:46] Snake**
"That was fast!"
**[08:46] Snake**
...say Oscar and Emily.
**[08:56] Diederich**
Look sharp, boys!
**[08:58] Diederich**
We need coal in the boiler, quick.
**[09:00] Baldroy**
Roger.
**[09:03] Finnian**
Baldo!
**[09:05] Baldroy**
Finny! Everyone all right?
**[09:06] Finnian**
Yes!
**[09:13] Snake**
"Looks like Keats' directions
were useful." ...says Emily.
**[09:19] Baldroy**
Finny, you open up the exit door!
**[09:21] Baldroy**
Mey-Rin and Snake, make sure it's greased up!
**[09:24] Mey-Rin; Finnian**
Yes, sir!
**[09:29] Finnian**
Please wait here, Fräulein Sullivan.
**[09:31] Sullivan**
Right.
**[09:32] Finnian**
She's in your hands, Tanaka.
**[09:58] Mey-Rin**
It's all greased, yes!
**[10:04] Finnian**
Ready here, too!
**[10:07] Diederich**
All right, time to depart!
**[10:22] Baldroy**
Get on, Finny!
**[10:29] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[10:32] Sullivan**
Wolf?
**[10:44] Finnian**
Fräulein Sullivan!
**[11:08] Grete**
Wolfram, you... betrayed us...
**[11:16] Sullivan**
Wolf... Why?
**[11:35] Wolfram**
Young mistress!
**[11:38] Wolfram**
I'm sorry I lied to you for so long!
**[11:43] Wolfram**
It's all right if you hate us!
You don't have to ever forgive us!
**[11:48] Wolfram**
But young mistress, you're...
**[11:51] Wolfram**
You're...
**[12:08] Hilde**
Traitor.
**[12:11] Hilde**
Die, Emerald Witch!
**[12:13] Sebastian**
Oh, my. I didn't expect
any food to escape the oven.
**[12:18] Sebastian**
It must not have been hot enough.
**[12:27] Sullivan**
Wolf! Wolf!
**[12:30] Mey-Rin**
Fräulein Sullivan, be careful, yes!
**[12:30] Sullivan**
Wolf!
**[12:38] Wolfram**
Young mistress...
**[12:42] Wolfram**
You're...
**[12:45] Wolfram**
not a witch.
**[12:49] Wolfram**
You're a normal girl.
**[12:59] Sullivan**
Wolf!
**[13:10] Wolfram**
*My world was nothing but grey.*
**[13:23] Wolfram**
*Ever since I could remember,*
**[13:25] Wolfram**
*people and places had always been grey.*
**[13:31] Wolfram**
*I had no idea there were other colours.*
**[13:36] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
Fight, you mangy dogs!
**[13:38] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
Fight for your country,
and die protecting it!
**[13:45] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
We don't need anyone slow or stupid.
**[13:49] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
If you want to be here,
you run until you puke blood!
**[13:54] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
You boys aren't worth shit, your hear me?
**[13:58] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
You get that through your empty skulls!
**[14:06] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
Kill!
**[14:07] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
You boys exist to kill the enemy.
**[14:10] (Flashback) Sergeant A**
To you, a long life is a badge of shame!
**[14:15] Wolfram**
*It was all to protect our country.*
**[14:20] Wolfram**
*But what* was *a country? And why protect it?*
**[14:28] Wolfram**
*I knew nothing.*
**[14:32] (Flashback) Superior Officer**
Rejoice, Second Lieutenant.
You were assigned to a special unit today.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Superior Officer**
In your new post, I am giving you a name.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Superior Officer**
You may call yourself
"First Lieutenant Wolfram Gelzer."
**[14:46] (Flashback) Wolfram**
Ja!
**[14:53] Wolfram**
* After training exclusively in killing*
* techniques, the mission I received...*
**[15:00] Wolfram**
*...was to monitor and guard the Emerald Witch.*
**[15:07] Wolfram**
*And if necessary, to dispose of her.*
**[15:13] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Wol... Wolfa... Wolfam...
**[15:20] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Can I call you "Wolf"?
**[15:24] (Flashback) Wolfram**
I am your butler. Call me whatever you like.
**[15:32] Wolfram**
*This isn't funny.*
**[15:40] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Wolf?
**[15:45] Wolfram**
*Those brutal days in training...*
**[15:52] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Wolf!
**[16:01] Wolfram**
*This isn't what they were for.*
**[16:10] Wolfram**
*Not this.*
**[16:20] Wolfram**
*Not this.*
**[16:31] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Wolf...
**[16:41] Wolfram**
*Young mistress.*
**[16:57] Wolfram**
* In meeting you, I learned for*
* the first time that bright colours exist.*
**[17:06] Wolfram**
* And how it feels to want*
* to protect something.*
**[17:12] Wolfram**
*My reason to fight.*
**[17:18] Wolfram**
*So please, whatever happens to me...*
**[17:25] Sullivan**
Wolf!
**[17:36] Wolfram**
Young mistress?
**[17:45] Wolfram**
I... I...
**[17:51] Sullivan**
Don't talk!
**[17:56] Sebastian**
Wolfram.
**[17:58] Sebastian**
It's unforgivable of a butler
to die before his master.
**[18:03] Sebastian**
So says a most venerable
example of the profession.
**[18:09] Ciel**
Sebastian, get me a knife heated red-hot.
**[18:12] Ciel**
Mey-Rin, bring all the cloth
and water you can.
**[18:15] Sebastian**
Very good.
**[18:16] Mey-Rin**
Understood, yes.
**[18:25] Ciel**
Hold him down.
**[18:27] Ciel**
And put some cloth between his teeth
so he doesn't bite his tongue.
**[18:30] Finnian**
Right!
**[18:32] Sullivan**
No... No, Wolf! I don't want you to die!
**[18:36] Ciel**
Pull yourself together!
**[18:38] Ciel**
Saving your people is
your duty as the Emerald Witch.
**[18:42] Ciel**
You're the one who said so!
**[18:45] Ciel**
This is the only one of your people left.
**[18:49] Ciel**
We've left Wolfsschlucht,
which means we're in the outside world.
**[18:52] Ciel**
No magic or miracles here.
**[18:54] Ciel**
You have to save him...
**[18:56] Ciel**
with your own hands!
**[19:14] Sullivan**
Wolf.
**[19:16] Sullivan**
If you die here, I won't
forgive you for as long as I live!
**[19:52] Sebastian**
The bleeding has stopped, at least.
**[19:55] Sebastian**
If he get can medical treatment
somewhere, he should be all right.
**[20:03] Sebastian**
You fulfilled your duty
splendidly, young mistress.
**[20:28] Ciel**
Diederich, lend me your safe house.
**[20:32] Diederich**
Even if I say no, you'll just show up there.
**[20:35] Diederich**
Honestly. Like father, like son.
**[20:39] Sebastian**
I was surprised when
you told me to pick him up.
**[20:52] Ciel**
The outside world is full of monsters
far worse than werewolves.
**[20:59] Ciel**
Monsters called "humans."
**[21:03] Ciel**
Which means she'll need a guard dog.
**[21:06] Ciel**
Plus...
**[21:08] Ciel**
He's insurance against me
getting killed for knowing too much.
**[21:13] Sebastian**
Ah. But wanting insurance
while you have *me* by your side
**[21:19] Sebastian**
makes you quite the worryguts,
young master.
**[21:25] Ciel**
Very funny.
**[21:28] Ciel**

**[00:07] Sascha**
Hilde Dickhaut. Born October 20, 1858.
**[00:20] Sascha**
Died of exsanguination August 17, 1889.
**[00:27] Sascha**
No notes of interest.
**[00:35] Ludger**
That wraps up today's job.
Let's call it a night.
**[00:40] Sascha**
Yes.
**[00:42] Sascha**
Still, to think those two survived
and went to England.
**[00:47] Sascha**
Isn't it amazing how human history
is built on things like this?
**[00:52] Ludger**
You're making too big a deal of it, Sascha.
It's just two humans going to England.
**[00:57] Sascha**
Ah-ah-ah! That's where you're wrong, Ludger.
**[01:02] Sascha**
Just think: an incredibly lethal new gas
*and* the developer of that gas
**[01:07] Sascha**
are both bound for England.
**[01:10] Sascha**
What a perfect way to keep Germany in check!
**[01:16] Ludger**
Ugh, here we go.
**[01:19] Sascha**
They fought with swords and arrows
until just a few centuries ago,
**[01:22] Sascha**
but now they're making poisons
that can kill hundreds with one drop.
**[01:26] Sascha**
Human progress is amazing.
**[01:28] Sascha**
What's more, there are minor geniuses
like these all over the world.
**[01:34] Sascha**
If just one of them upsets
the world's balance,
**[01:37] Sascha**
it might trigger a great war
that will engulf the whole globe!
**[01:42] Ludger**
That would be rotten.
**[01:45] Sascha**
Personally, I'd rather have a world war
than too much time on my hands.
**[01:49] Sascha**
And I'd wager...
**[01:52] Sascha**
...he feels the same way.
**[02:00] Ludger**
I'm not that kind of freak,
so I'd rather not be so busy.
**[02:05] Spears**
I quite agree.
**[02:08] Spears**
If that happened, we'd never
get to leave work on time.
**[02:13] Ludger**
Hi there. You've come a long way...
**[02:17] Ludger**
William and Grell.
**[02:20] Spears**
Too long.
**[02:22] Sign**
m 485.8 322 l 489.2 327.6 494.8 328.4 490.4 332.8 492.4 339.4 485.8 336.4 480.4 339.6 481.6 332.8 476.4 328.4 482.4 327.6
**[02:22] Grell**
Yoo-hoo! I've missed you to *death*!
**[03:15] Sign**
Black Butler
**[03:17] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[04:36] Ludger**
A red coat, eh?
**[04:38] Ludger**
You're as flashy as ever.
**[04:41] Grell**
But of course! I'm the only lady in the English
branch's Collections Department, after all!
**[04:47] Sascha**
Here's the handover documentation.
**[04:49] Spears**
I didn't anticipate being sent
all the way to Germany on business.
**[04:53] Spears**
What a nuisance. The whole world
seems primed for war these days.
**[04:57] Grell**
Well, even though I'm sad
we missed Sebas-*chan*,
**[05:01] Grell**
I had fun on this little trip
with you, Will—ouch!
**[05:05] Sascha**
Speaking of war, how did that affair
with the walking corpses turn out?
**[05:13] Spears**
It's still under investigation.
**[05:15] Spears**
I take it none have appeared
here in Germany yet.
**[05:19] Spears**
Still, please contact the English branch
with any information about the deserter.
**[05:26] Spears**
Now, if you'll excuse us.
**[05:30] Grell**
Toodles!
**[05:33] Grell**
Will, let's make a side trip to Baden-Baden!
**[05:37] Sascha**
There have always been
the occasional job deserters, I guess.
**[05:40] Sascha**
What do you think makes them want to run
from the Grim Reaper Staffing Association?
**[05:45] Ludger**
Never thought about it.
**[05:48] Ludger**
They might just be bored with their jobs,
**[05:50] Ludger**
or they might have some special reason.
**[05:55] Sascha**
Well, I suppose I can understand.
**[05:58] Sascha**
We used to be human, after all.
**[06:02] Sascha**
Humans who commit suicide are turned
into grim reapers as punishment,
**[06:06] Sascha**
then worked to the bone
until the day we're forgiven,
**[06:10] Sascha**
endlessly gazing at death like this.
**[06:16] Sascha**
It's pretty depressing for us suicides
to have to hear people
**[06:20] Sascha**
regretting their deaths and
thirsting for life day in and day out, huh?
**[06:24] Ludger**
You don't look the least bit depressed.
**[06:27] Sascha**
Yep, I'm having more fun now than I did
when I was alive! Maybe it's my divine calling?
**[06:33] Ludger**
Nothing divine about grim reapers.
**[06:38] Sign**
Welcome back, sir.
**[06:42] Sign**
You've certainly...
**[06:45] Sign**
made a lot of mischief.
**[06:49] Sign**
Heinrich, get a doctor.
**[06:51] Sign**
And draw a bath, too.
**[06:53] Sign**
Yes, sir.
**[06:56] Sign**
It's been a long time since I've seen you.
**[07:00] Sign**
Indeed it has, my friend!
**[07:02] Sign**
Who is this?
**[07:05] Sign**
This is Phantomhive's son.
**[07:08] Sign**
I knew it!
**[07:11] Heinrich**
It's an honour to meet you, Lord Phantomhive.
**[07:15] Ciel**
I appreciate the hospitality.
**[07:18] Heinrich**
I can see your father in you.
**[07:21] Ciel**
I apologize for my appearance.
**[07:33] Finnian**
It's so big!
**[07:35] Heinrich**
This is one of several castles
held by the Weizsäcker barony.
**[07:40] Heinrich**
I'm afraid it's rather small
compared to the main castle,
**[07:43] Heinrich**
but please do make yourselves at home.
**[07:46] Mey-Rin; Finnian; Baldroy**
Small?!
**[07:47] Ciel**
You're a sheltered rich boy, huh?
**[07:49] Baldroy**
Says the pot to the kettle.
**[07:51] Heinrich**
Let's show our guests to their rooms.
**[07:55] Lots of servants**
At once.
**[07:57] Servant 1**
Please bring the injured man this way.
**[07:59] Servant 2**
This way, please.
**[08:00] Servant ?**
We'll bring you fresh clothes right away.
**[08:01] Tanaka**
Heinrich, allow us to help as well.
**[08:05] Heinrich**
Thank you.
**[08:07] Servant 1**
The doctor will be here soon.
Please hold on just a little longer.
**[08:24] Sebastian**
We're here, and Wolfram seems
to have pulled through. That's a relief.
**[08:30] Ciel**
Yes.
**[08:35] Sebastian**
This may sting a bit, but please bear with it.
**[08:41] Sebastian**
Pardon me, my lord.
**[08:53] Ciel**
I wonder how much of this
Her Majesty anticipated.
**[09:02] Ciel**
Did she really send us here
to investigate the mysterious deaths?
**[09:06] Ciel**
Or did she expect us to find German
military secrets when she gave those orders?
**[09:13] Sebastian**
Who knows? A queen's thoughts are
beyond a mere butler's understanding.
**[09:18] Sebastian**
But one thing is clear:
**[09:21] Sebastian**
Germany's toxic gas and
tank development is at a high level.
**[09:27] Sebastian**
That, and England has also
acquired those same things.
**[09:33] Sebastian**
I believe the future
will be very interesting.
**[09:37] Sebastian**
All right, close your eyes.
**[09:44] Ciel**
Hmph. "Interesting" isn't the word.
**[09:57] Sebastian**
Truly, humans change at dizzying speed.
**[10:02] Sebastian**
And yet...
**[10:03] Sebastian**
You haven't grown any taller.
Why is that, I wonder?
**[10:08] Ciel**
I'll take none of that from you.
*You* haven't changed in centuries.
**[10:14] Diederich**
Undertaker?
**[10:16] Diederich**
He was here recently.
**[10:18] Ciel**
What?
**[10:19] Ciel**
What was he doing in Germany?
**[10:21] Diederich**
He said he had business in France
and decided to stop by.
**[10:25] Diederich**
I had no idea he was involved
in the sinking of that luxury liner.
**[10:30] Ciel**
France?
**[10:32] Ciel**
Do you have any idea where he is?
**[10:36] Diederich**
No, I don't.
**[10:39] Diederich**
But...
**[10:44] (Flashback) Undertaker**
I haven't seen you in a long time, Diederich.
**[10:47] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Not since his funeral, I think.
**[10:51] (Flashback) Undertaker**
You don't come to England much anymore.
**[10:54] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Is that because the earl is gone?
**[10:58] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Or because your body is harder to mov—
**[11:03] (Flashback) Undertaker**
I couldn't hold it in!
**[11:05] (Flashback) Diederich**
What the devil are you here for?!
**[11:08] (Flashback) Undertaker**
It's just that you've changed so *much*.
**[11:14] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Humans do change in
such little time, don't they?
**[11:18] (Flashback) Undertaker**
You used to be so thin.
**[11:21] (Flashback) Diederich**
Leave it out.
**[11:22] (Flashback) Undertaker**
We'll probably have to
special order your coffin.
**[11:26] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Shall I measure you now, just in case?
**[11:28] (Flashback) Diederich**
Not necessary.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Undertaker**
The earl would probably laugh
if he could see you now.
**[11:36] (Flashback) Diederich**
I don't even want to picture it.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Diederich**
He did me a favour by dying fir—
**[11:47] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Poor thing. Burned down to his bones.
**[11:53] (Flashback) Undertaker**
No coming back from a death like that.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Oh, but...
**[12:01] (Flashback) Undertaker**
There's still the *other*
Earl Phantomhive, after all.
**[12:09] Sebastian**
He said "the other"?
**[12:12] Diederich**
I paid it no mind at the time,
since he always talks nonsense, but...
**[12:19] Ciel**
Did he mean me?
**[12:25] Ciel**
Or...
**[12:37] Heinrich**
Sir, dinner is ready. Shall I bring it in here?
**[12:42] Heinrich**
No, we'll move to the dining room.
**[12:46] Heinrich**
What will you lot do next?
**[12:48] Ciel**
My job will be done once
I've handed Sullivan over to the Queen.
**[12:52] Ciel**
We'll return to England as soon
as the injured man can move.
**[12:59] Sullivan**
Ah, Ciel!
**[13:01] Sullivan**
I started without you,
and everything is delicious.
**[13:04] Sullivan**
You should hurry up and eat, too.
**[13:08] Sullivan**
Seconds, please!
**[13:09] Mey-Rin**
R-Right away, yes!
**[13:10] Sebastian**
I fear she's not quite ready
for tea with the Queen, my lord.
**[13:17] Ciel**
I'm well aware.
**[13:20] Sebastian**
Then, we'll have to make sure she's strictly
trained in ladylike manners once we get home.
**[13:26] Sebastian**
I look forward to the challenge.
**[13:30] Ciel**
I'll entrust you with the task.
**[13:33] Ciel**
Her Majesty is eagerly waiting,
so make short work of it.
**[13:38] Sebastian**
Very good.
**[13:45] Doctor**
His resilience is truly marvellous.
**[13:47] Doctor**
He's strong. He'll be up and about in no time.
**[14:00] Wolfram**
Your name is Sebastian, yes?
**[14:03] Wolfram**
Why did you save me?
**[14:05] Sebastian**
My young master ordered me to.
**[14:09] Ciel**
It was very irresponsible of you
to decide your work was done,
**[14:15] Ciel**
and leave us to mind her.
**[14:19] Wolfram**
Y-Young mistress, I...
**[14:21] Sullivan**
Say no more.
**[14:27] Sullivan**
I betrayed you first.
**[14:35] Sullivan**
That night, I jumped at their promise
to show me the outside world,
**[14:42] Sullivan**
and I decided to leave the forest.
**[14:46] Sullivan**
I let my desires take over,
and I was going to abandon you all.
**[14:52] Sullivan**
But you protected me anyway.
**[14:57] Sullivan**
Yes, I'm angry with you
for deceiving me all this time.
**[15:04] Sullivan**
But I did something cruel, too.
**[15:09] Sullivan**
So...
**[15:12] Sullivan**
Let's say we're even.
**[15:16] Wolfram**
Young mistress...
**[15:19] Wolfram**
You... forgive me?
**[15:25] Wolfram**
Does this mean I can remain your butler?
**[15:29] Sullivan**
Yes. Let's stay together forever.
**[15:35] Sullivan**
Let's see the outside world
together, Wolfram.
**[15:48] Wolfram**
Ja.
**[16:00] Finnian**
They suit you!
**[16:01] Mey-Rin**
Just bear with it until we get to England, yes.
**[16:04] Ciel**
We owe you, Diederich.
**[16:07] Diederich**
You certainly do. Like father, like son.
**[16:10] Diederich**
Next time, don't bring trouble to my door.
**[16:13] Ciel**
"Next time"? So we're welcome to come again?
**[16:16] Diederich**
D-Don't look at me like that.
**[16:19] Diederich**
And don't come back. Good riddance to you.
**[16:25] Diederich**
Junior.
**[16:28] Diederich**
The times are about to change radically.
**[16:31] Diederich**
Be careful.
**[16:33] Ciel**
Same to you.
**[17:07] Sign**
So this is London!
**[17:11] Sign**
This is the capital of the land where
"the sun never sets," ruled by Queen Victoria.
**[17:18] Sign**
Oi, you two.
**[17:20] Sign**
German is too conspicuous in Great Britain.
Please speak English from now on.
**[17:27] Sullivan**
Right.
**[17:28] Sign**
What?
**[17:29] Sign**
The young mistress may manage,
but I can hardly speak a word!
**[17:33] Sign**
Then, as much as possible, please.
**[17:37] Sebastian**
I'll give you close instruction
once we're back at the manor.
**[17:42] Ciel**
I imagine the Queen is impatient to see her.
**[17:46] Ciel**
I'd like to introduce them in a week.
**[17:49] Sebastian**
A week? Isn't that a bit too soon?
**[17:52] Ciel**
I know you can get her to pass muster
by then. I'll leave the methods to you.
**[17:53] Sullivan**
Look! What's that?
**[17:58] Ciel**
This is an order, Sebastian:
**[18:00] Ciel**
Turn this unruly girl
into a lady within one week.
**[18:06] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[18:10] Sebastian**
First things first: her attire.
**[18:11] Finnian**
See you soon!
**[18:14] Sebastian**
Presentations to Her Majesty
have a strict dress code.
**[18:19] Sebastian**
Let's commission her full court dress.
**[18:32] Meg**
Hello.
**[18:34] Augusta; Meg**
Welcome to Hopkins.
**[18:39] Ciel**
Their poses get no less strange.
**[18:40] Sebastian**
It's good to see you again.
We'd like to order several items.
**[18:45] Nina Hopkins**
I sense a beautiful boy has entered!
Meg, Augusta, who is it?
**[18:51] Sebastian**
You have keen senses, Miss Hopkins.
**[18:53] Nina Hopkins**
Oh!
**[18:54] Nina Hopkins**
Goodness, my lord. How good it is to see you!
**[18:58] Nina Hopkins**
You so rarely come to my establishment!
**[19:02] Sebastian**
I always admire the thoroughness
with which you ignore me.
**[19:06] Nina Hopkins**
And who might this lady be, my lord?
**[19:09] Ciel**
A guest. I'll be taking her in for a while.
**[19:12] Ciel**
Her wardrobe is bare, so I'd like
some dresses for her. Off the rail is fine.
**[19:16] Nina Hopkins**
Ah, yes, I can see this dress
isn't made of proper summer fabric.
**[19:22] Nina Hopkins**
And these colours are much too plain.
To say nothing of the poor workmanship.
**[19:27] Nina Hopkins**
A stuffy, outdated man who thinks "women should
be ladylike" clearly foisted his tastes on you.
**[19:31] Sebastian**
I was coping with a crisis.
**[19:33] Nina Hopkins**
Pardon?
**[19:35] Sebastian**
These two need to be outfitted for
her presentation to the Queen at a Drawing Room.
**[19:42] Sebastian**
Ordinarily, we would order the lady's
full court dress from a couturiere,
**[19:47] Sebastian**
but may I venture to ask you
for her costume along with his?
**[19:50] Nina Hopkins**
A ridiculous question.
**[19:51] Nina Hopkins**
A debutante's presentation...
Cheeks rosy with nervous excitement...
**[19:57] Nina Hopkins**
It's good. Too good!
**[20:00] Nina Hopkins**
I have it! The fount of
my imagination is overflowing!
**[20:04] Nina Hopkins**
The rules state that a presentation dress
should be pristine white.
**[20:07] Nina Hopkins**
She'll need a long silk petticoat
with plenty of lace.
**[20:10] Nina Hopkins**
Perhaps embroidered satin for the train?
**[20:13] Nina Hopkins**
We'll make her hair look festive
with feathers and a veil.
**[20:16] Nina Hopkins**
And an emerald or diamond accessory
would be just the thing!
**[20:19] Nina Hopkins**
Right! Step this way, please.
**[20:22] Nina Hopkins**
Meg, Augusta, take that one's measurements.
**[20:25] Sebastian**
She remains very...
**[20:27] Ciel**
...true to herself.
**[20:32] Nina Hopkins**
Sorry about the mess, dear.
**[20:38] Nina Hopkins**
I'm working on a large order
for a choir right now.
**[20:43] Nina Hopkins**
Now, what colours shall I pick
for your everyday dresses?
**[20:46] Nina Hopkins**
I have plenty of things to hand.
**[20:51] Sullivan**
I'd like to ask a favour.
**[20:56] Sebastian**
That should take care of the attire.
**[21:00] Sebastian**
A lady being presented must have
her hair coiffed as befits the upper class.
**[21:07] Sebastian**
Fortunately, Fräulein Sullivan already has
nice long hair, so it shouldn't be an issue.
**[21:13] Sebastian**
Next up—
**[21:13] Sullivan**
Here I am.
**[21:19] Wolfram**
Young mistress?!
**[23:23] Elizabeth**
Ciel, you're finally home.
**[23:29] Elizabeth**
I look forward to this!

**[02:08] Wolfram**
Young mistress?!
**[02:10] Wolfram**
Where's your hair?
**[02:12] Sullivan**
I won't have ladies waiting on me
from now on, so I'm making a fresh start.
**[02:17] Sullivan**
Well? Does it suit me?
**[02:19] Wolfram**
Yes, it's soot.
**[02:21] Ciel**
You mean "It suits."
**[02:22] Sebastian**
All that refinement, gone.
**[02:25] Nina**
This Alice Liddell style is all the rage
with the girls of London!
**[02:30] Nina**
Women's hairstyles *and*
lifestyles ought to be freer.
**[02:35] Sebastian**
As I've repeatedly told you, we'd like you
to prioritise class over "the rage."
**[02:38] Nina**
Mr. Hardheaded, you're still here?
**[02:45] Sebastian**
Well, nothing we can do now.
Shall we return to the manor, my lord?
**[02:52] Nina**
Look forward to the finished dress!
**[02:57] Agni**
Welcome back, everyone.
**[03:00] Soma**
Ciel!
**[03:02] Soma**
You went on a trip to Germany?
**[03:04] Soma**
Why didn't you invite me?!
**[03:06] Soma**
And you brought back
a new concubine, you sly fellow.
**[03:12] Soma**
Hmm, she's a very different type to Lizzie.
**[03:16] Sullivan**
Concubine?
**[03:18] Sullivan**
So *that's* what you were after.
**[03:21] Ciel**
I was not!
**[03:22] Soma**
Well, any guest of Ciel's is a guest of mine.
**[03:25] Soma**
Make us a feast tonight, Agni.
**[03:28] Agni**
Jo ājñā.
**[03:29] Sebastian**
You must all be tired after your journey.
**[03:32] Sebastian**
I'll serve afternoon tea right away.
**[03:36] Sebastian**
Today's tea is a Vikkens Earl Grey.
**[03:40] Sebastian**
Accompaniments include an orange
almond cake and a berry tart.
**[03:48] Sullivan**
They all look yummy.
**[03:50] Sullivan**
Time to eat—
**[03:51] Sebastian**
And stop.
**[03:51] Sullivan**
Ouch!
**[03:53] Sebastian**
Miss Sullivan, your lessons to prepare for tea
with the Queen have officially begun.
**[04:00] Sebastian**
We do not use informal words such as "yummy."
**[04:04] Sebastian**
We do not touch sugar with bare fingers.
**[04:06] Sebastian**
We most *certainly* do not reach
for cake before it is offered to us.
**[04:10] Sullivan**
What?!
**[04:11] Sebastian**
Starting now, you will be undergoing a week
of lessons to turn you into a proper lady.
**[04:18] Sebastian**
We'll begin with tea party manners.
**[04:21] Sebastian**
There will be no cakes
until you've mastered manners.
**[04:24] Sullivan**
O-Oh, no!
**[04:27] Sign**
Hey, you!
You're making the young mistress cry! A cake would—
**[04:30] Sebastian**
Wolfram.
**[04:31] Sign**
What?
**[04:32] Sebastian**

**[04:34] Sebastian**
I'm willing to hear you out if you do.

**[04:40] Sullivan**
Ciel, say something!
**[04:44] Soma**
Yes, do! He's scary, and I feel sorry for her!
**[04:47] Ciel**
If I spoil you, you'll never make progress.
**[04:51] Ciel**
Do your best.
**[05:01] Sebastian**
We do not make noise consuming our soup.
**[05:03] Sebastian**
That bite is too big. Be more decorous.
**[05:06] Sullivan**
Another helping!
**[05:07] Sebastian**
Ladies are not permitted more helpings.
**[05:09] Sebastian**
Don't do it, Agni.
**[05:11] Sullivan**
Tomorrow, I want—
No, I should *prefer* to have pork.
**[05:14] Sebastian**
Please do not express opinions
about the menu while you are a guest.
**[05:18] Sebastian**
As it happens, tomorrow,
you'll be learning how to eat fish.
**[05:23] Sign**
Hey, you! The young mistress—
**[05:24] Sebastian**
In English, please.
**[05:31] Sullivan**
There are more rules now
than before I left the village!
**[05:34] Ciel**
You can go back there if you like.
**[05:37] Sullivan**
Is that how you speak to your friends?
**[05:39] Sullivan**
Does ice run through your veins?
**[05:41] Ciel**
Just blood.
**[05:44] Sullivan**
Never mind! I won't look to you for help!
**[05:47] Ciel**
Perfect.
**[05:50] Sullivan**
Hmph!
**[05:56] Ciel**
What is it? Didn't you just say
you wouldn't look to me for help?
**[05:59] Ciel**
Oh, it's you.
**[06:03] Sebastian**
It wouldn't hurt you to lend an ear, my lord.
**[06:08] Ciel**
To her unproductive griping?
**[06:10] Ciel**
She's your responsibility.
**[06:13] Ciel**
I'm busy with all the work
that piled up in our absence.
**[06:19] Sebastian**
Is that so, my lord?
**[06:22] Ciel**
Yes.
**[06:28] Sebastian**
You must greet Her Majesty
with a full curtsy.
**[06:32] Sebastian**
Wolfram, you support her.
**[06:34] Wolfram**
You can do it!
**[06:39] Sebastian**
Pull in your chin and
smile without showing your teeth.
**[06:43] Sullivan**
Goof affer'oon, Your Mafeffy.
**[06:49] Sebastian**
Well, it will do.
**[06:51] Sebastian**
Your diction is a touch off, however.
**[06:55] Sebastian**
I have an idea.
**[06:59] Sullivan**
What ish dis?
**[07:01] Sebastian**
This is so that you can see
your tongue as you practice.
**[07:06] Sebastian**
Watch carefully in the mirror.
**[07:08] Sebastian**
Once you've mastered it, we'll have tea.
**[07:15] Sebastian**
Tip of your tongue to your palate.
**[07:24] Sebastian**
Curve the tip of your tongue more.
**[07:27] Sebastian**
Miss Sullivan?
**[07:37] Sebastian**
Miss Sullivan?
**[07:39] Wolfram**
Young 'istresh!
**[07:50] Ciel**
What is that?
**[07:52] Ciel**
Hey!
**[07:52] Ciel**
Oi!
**[08:02] Ciel**
I-I'm sorry. Are you all right?
**[08:06] Sullivan**
What is *wrong* with him?!
**[08:08] Sullivan**
He propped open my innocent, maidenly mouth!
**[08:10] Sullivan**
What does he mean to put in it?!
**[08:13] Ciel**
Pardon?
**[08:13] Elizabeth**
Ciel! I heard you were back
from abroad, so I came to vi—
**[08:24] Ciel**
I know this looks bad, Lizzie, but listen—
**[08:27] Elizabeth**
So this is the "business"
that took you to Germany?
**[08:44] Sebastian**
Pardon me, my lady.
There is a perfectly good reason for this.
**[08:50] Elizabeth**
Oh, so *that's* what happened.
**[08:52] Elizabeth**
I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
I'm so embarrassed!
**[08:56] Elizabeth**
I was about to give Ciel a scolding.
**[08:59] Elizabeth**
I'm sorry.
**[09:01] Ciel**
It's fine.
**[09:03] Ciel**
* I felt in less mortal danger*
* facing down the tank.*
**[09:07] Elizabeth**
But Ciel...
**[09:08] Elizabeth**
It's cruel of you to make your friend
do such harsh lessons on her own.
**[09:12] Ciel**
What?
**[09:13] Elizabeth**
As usual, you don't understand
a girl's feelings at all.
**[09:17] Elizabeth**
Tough lessons like that can be fun
if we encourage each other through them.
**[09:22] Ciel**
Th-They can?
**[09:24] Elizabeth**
I know! Why don't we all take
the lessons together today?
**[09:28] Soma**
Wonderful idea!
**[09:29] Ciel**
What?
**[09:30] Ciel**
Why would *I* take them?
Manners differ between the sexes, and—
**[09:33] Elizabeth**
This is what we do for our friends.
**[09:37] Elizabeth**
You're lucky! Every girl in England
wants an invitation to a Drawing Room.
**[09:43] Elizabeth**
Let's work hard and become ladies together.
**[09:47] Sullivan**
R-Right.
**[09:49] Elizabeth**
Now, call me Lizzie.
**[09:52] Elizabeth**
And may I call you Siggie?
**[09:54] Sullivan**
A-All right.
**[09:56] Elizabeth**
Now, with that settled...
**[09:58] Elizabeth**
It's time for lessons!
**[09:59] Sullivan; Soma; Elizabeth**
Yay!
**[10:04] Elizabeth**
Ciel, do it more gracefully and cutely.
**[10:07] Ciel**
How am I supposed to do that?
**[10:13] Sebastian**
Young master, I recall you mastering this
before we visited the viscount's estate.
**[10:21] Ciel**
Oi! That was—
**[10:24] Sullivan**
I'm better at this than you are, Ciel.
**[10:26] Ciel**
I beg your pardon?
**[10:27] Soma**
All right, it's my turn next!
**[10:30] Elizabeth**
You're so silly!
**[10:36] Ciel**
I'm so tired.
**[10:39] Ciel**
Lizzie lectured me, too. What an awful day.
**[10:42] (Flashback) Elizabeth**
I bet you've been so preoccupied with work,
you've left poor Siggie entirely to Sebastian.
**[10:49] Sebastian**
I did say you ought to be
a little more sympathetic to her.
**[10:57] Ciel**
I did those lessons alone.
**[11:00] Sebastian**
Your sensibilities aren't like
normal people's, young master.
**[11:04] Sebastian**
It would be unfair to
expect others to be at your level.
**[11:08] Ciel**
You're treating me like I'm cold-hearted, too?
**[11:14] Sebastian**
It wasn't a criticism.
**[11:17] Sebastian**
But if you know how you're perceived,
then be a bit more considerate of others.
**[11:22] Sebastian**
You're a leader, after all.
**[11:26] Ciel**
You don't understand people's
feelings any better than I do.
**[11:29] Ciel**
You're a beast who'll commit
any atrocity he's ordered to.
**[11:34] Sebastian**
You wound me. I consider myself
a most loyal and obedient butler.
**[11:42] Ciel**
It wasn't a criticism.
**[11:47] Phips**
I take it you are Miss Sieglinde Sullivan,
the lady to be presented to Her Majesty today?
**[11:53] Grey**
Please follow us.
**[11:56] Sullivan**
R-Right!
**[11:58] Wolfram**
Young mistress is nerved.
**[12:00] Ciel**
It's "nervous."
**[12:08] Grey**
You aren't coming?
**[12:10] Sebastian**
No. My young master has given me an errand.
**[12:16] Grey**
Fine by me.
**[12:56] Sullivan**
It's an honour to meet you, Your Majesty.
**[12:59] Sullivan**
My name is Sieglinde Sullivan.
**[13:03] Victoria**
My, what a sweet curtsy.
**[13:06] Victoria**
It's good to meet you, little witch.
**[13:15] Victoria**
Welcome to England. I'm glad you're here.
**[13:20] Victoria**
There's a very special tea
waiting for us. Come, this way.
**[13:27] Victoria**
All of Phips' cakes are delicious.
Please choose whichever you'd like.
**[13:32] Ciel**
Just one.
**[13:34] Sullivan**
I know that!
**[13:36] Victoria**
Do you take sugar in your tea, my dear witch?
**[13:38] Sullivan**
Just one, please.
**[13:40] Victoria**
Now, my boy, would you
tell me about your trip?
**[13:44] Ciel**
Yes, ma'am.
**[13:46] Ciel**
The "curse of the Werewolves' Forest"
proved to be a toxic gas
**[13:49] Ciel**
whose development was halted
in England due to its great danger.
**[13:53] Ciel**
It's known as "mustard gas."
**[13:55] Ciel**
The German army was just at
the point of deploying it in battle.
**[14:00] Ciel**
It was the Emerald Witch—namely
Miss Sullivan here—who made it all possible.
**[14:05] Ciel**
I feel certain her mind will contribute
greatly to England's progress.
**[14:13] Victoria**
So the little witch is
quite talented in her art.
**[14:17] Victoria**
I wonder if a witch as talented
as you might be able...
**[14:22] Victoria**
to wield even greater magic than that?
**[14:33] Sullivan**
No, Your Majesty.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Talk about what?
**[14:40] (Flashback) Ciel**
Back in the forest, as we fled,
**[14:42] (Flashback) Ciel**
you said you wanted to try to make
a magical cure that could save people.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Ciel**
Is that resolve still firm?
**[14:49] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Of course it is.
**[14:50] (Flashback) Ciel**
Then when presented to the Queen tomorrow,
give the instructions for making mustard gas.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Ciel**
If you do that, England will be
forced to treat you cordially.
**[15:01] (Flashback) Ciel**
And I'm certain they already know
you can make mustard gas.
**[15:05] (Flashback) Wolfram**
Wait! But if she does that, she'll be
used again to create more toxic gas!
**[15:09] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Wolfram.
**[15:11] (Flashback) Sebastian**
I believe it's up to Miss Sullivan
whether to use or be used.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Sebastian**
She possesses a rare talent,
as well as information
**[15:21] (Flashback) Sebastian**
that she can use to negotiate
her status internationally.
**[15:26] (Flashback) Sebastian**
It's up to her whether she uses
those things effectively.
**[15:31] (Flashback) Wolfram**
But...
**[15:32] (Flashback) Ciel**
If you want to take him and go live
the quiet life of a country doctor,
**[15:37] (Flashback) Ciel**
I won't stop you.
**[15:39] (Flashback) Ciel**
Because you're my friend.
**[15:42] (Flashback) Ciel**
However, *because* I'm your friend,
**[15:46] (Flashback) Ciel**
I know you can't stop learning.
**[15:49] (Flashback) Ciel**
New knowledge. New discoveries.
**[15:53] (Flashback) Ciel**
The more you make them, the more you'll want
to develop them to create something new.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Sullivan**
New knowledge...
**[16:02] (Flashback) Ciel**
But doing that takes money.
**[16:05] (Flashback) Ciel**
The kind of money that operated Wolfsschlucht,
in fact. An amount only a state could muster.
**[16:10] (Flashback) Ciel**
I highly doubt this great oaf
could put together such a sum.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Ciel**
Your mind and your information
are the sum of your wealth right now.
**[16:19] (Flashback) Ciel**
You'll need to start there.
**[16:22] (Flashback) Ciel**
However...
**[16:23] (Flashback) Ciel**
Don't tell anyone about
the new gas you created. The sulin.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Sulin is far more lethal
than ordinary mustard gas.
**[16:35] (Flashback) Sebastian**
If England were to use it...
**[16:38] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Well, you're clever enough
to know what would happen.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Ciel**
Sulin won't save anyone
in this world. Not even you.
**[16:53] (Flashback) Sullivan**
Very well. I'll take sulin to my grave.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Ciel**
Remember this: From now on, consider
everyone an enemy who wants to use you.
**[17:04] (Flashback) Ciel**
Even me.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Ciel**
Plan on using all of them.
**[17:11] (Flashback) Ciel**
Use them to build the future you want.
**[17:20] Victoria**
I see. That's a relief, isn't it?
**[17:24] Ciel**
You have a second sight that
never fails to amaze me, ma'am.
**[17:30] Ciel**
I was shocked to find out
that the "curse" was a toxic gas.
**[17:35] Victoria**
You flatter me, my boy.
I simply don't like being afraid.
**[17:43] Ciel**
I'd like Sullivan's mind to
be put to use saving people.
**[17:49] Ciel**
She has worked hard for
her people from a young age.
**[17:54] Ciel**
She should be able to
guarantee brilliant results.
**[17:57] Victoria**
Yes, she has unlimited potential.
**[18:02] Sullivan**
Thank you, ma'am.
England welcomed my butler and myself.
**[18:07] Sullivan**
I swear to be useful to her people—
no, to all the people of the world.
**[18:13] Victoria**
Oh, how wonderful. Truly.
**[18:17] Victoria**
England's future is bright.
**[18:20] Victoria**
You've done splendid work, my boy.
**[18:24] Ciel**
You're too kind.
**[18:25] Victoria**
I'm sure your parents in heaven are pleased,
**[18:29] Victoria**
along with my Albert.
**[18:32] Victoria**
Oh, Albert! Please watch over me, too!
**[18:40] John**
"You work hard every day, Victoria."
**[18:42] Victoria**
Oh, Albert! You're here!
**[18:45] Ciel**
Pay no attention. It's always like this.
**[18:48] John**
"Ciel grows more like his papa
every day, doesn't he?"
**[18:52] Victoria**
He does. I find it most promising.
**[18:56] Ciel**
Thank you, ma'am.
**[19:01] Sebastian**
Welcome back.
**[19:03] Ciel**
Did you carry out your orders?
**[19:04] Sebastian**
I did.
**[19:09] Ciel**
That was exhausting.
I want to go home and sleep at once.
**[19:14] Sebastian**
They do say a good night's sleep helps one grow.
**[19:19] Sebastian**
Is there something on my face?
**[19:21] Ciel**
No, it's nothing.
**[19:44] (Flashback) Undertaker**
My lord.
**[19:58] (Flashback) Undertaker**
No.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Not yet.
**[20:03] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Sleep a little longer.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Undertaker**
It's still a bit too early to wake up.
**[20:20] Ciel**
Sebastian.
**[20:22] Sebastian**
You were tossing and turning so awfully,
I was about to wake you.
**[20:26] Sebastian**
Are you all right?
**[20:28] Ciel**
Y-Yes.
**[20:35] Ciel**
I'm all right.
**[20:37] Sebastian**
Another bad dream, my lord?
**[20:40] Ciel**
No.
**[20:43] Ciel**
I'm all right.
**[20:58] Ciel**
It's nothing.
**[23:15] Sebastian**
A letter for you, young master.
**[23:19] Ciel**
All right. Set it down there.
**[23:25] Ciel**
It's from the Queen?
