# Black Butler
Ciel Phantomhive is the most powerful boy in all of England, but he bears the scars of unspeakable suffering. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. Desperate to end his suffering, the boy traded his own soul for a chance at vengeance, casting his lot with the one person on whom he could depend: Sebastian, a demon Butler summoned from the very pits of hell. Together, they’ll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil.

**[00:11] ---**
If you once reject the Faith,
**[00:14] ---**
you can never pass through
the gates of heaven.
**[00:19] ---**
Would someone who believes in God
**[00:23] ---**
summon *you*?
**[00:28] ---**
I'll ask you again:
**[00:30] ---**
do you wish to make a contract?
**[00:33] ---**
Don't be tedious!
**[00:35] ---**
Just execute the contract and grant my wish!
**[00:58] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[01:04] ---**
*There is no color to our meeting;
it blows through in monochrome*
**[01:11] ---**
*I go where your cool fingers beckon me*
**[01:16] ---**
*I am like troublesome ice after the melt*
**[01:23] ---**
*You gently scoop me up to your
mouth and play with my upper lip*
**[01:31] ---**
*Still, I search for a form of love*
**[01:37] ---**
*The dry eyes that shape the
present rather than a distant time*
**[01:43] ---**
*Want to end like this, cloaked*
**[01:49] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[01:56] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[02:03] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[02:06] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[02:37] ---**
It's time to wake up, young master.
**[02:50] ---**
Today's breakfast is poached
salmon and mint salad.
**[02:55] ---**
To go with it, we have either
toast, scones, or *pain de campagne*.
**[03:00] ---**
What would you like?
**[03:02] ---**
A scone.
**[03:03] ---**
After breakfast is a visit from Mr. Hugues,
**[03:05] ---**
the authority on the history
of the Roman Empire,
**[03:08] ---**
and Mr. Damiano of the Poseidon
Company will be here after lunch.
**[03:12] ---**
Ah, yes, the man I have manufacturing
stuffed animals at that factory in India?
**[03:17] ---**
I'm told he's Italian.
**[03:20] ---**
We will prepare to offer him
the utmost possible hospitality.
**[03:25] ---**
This aroma... Earl Grey?
**[03:28] ---**
Yes, from Jacksons of Piccadilly.
**[03:32] ---**
I shall await you at the dining table.
**[03:44] ---**
Yes, my lord?
**[03:48] ---**
Let's save the games for later.
**[03:53] ---**
Indeed, you're right, Sebastian.
**[03:58] ---**
"His Butler, Able"
**[04:00] ---**
*My butler is an able man.*
**[04:07] ---**
Ouch! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[04:11] ---**
Wh-What was that for all of a sudden?!
**[04:14] ---**
Actually, you should have seen that coming.
**[04:18] ---**
Finny.
**[04:20] ---**
Have you finished weeding the courtyard?
**[04:23] ---**
Mey-Rin, have you washed the sheets?
**[04:26] ---**
Um...
**[04:27] ---**
Baldo, weren't you supposed
to be preparing for dinner?
**[04:31] ---**
Damn.
**[04:32] ---**
Tanaka...
**[04:35] ---**
Well, you're all right as you are.
**[04:40] ---**
Everyone, if you have the
time to dawdle about here,
**[04:45] ---**
use it do your jobs!
**[04:49] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[04:51] ---**
Honestly...
**[05:12] ---**
The silver is polished to a mirrorlike gloss,
**[05:16] ---**
the tablecloth is brand
new and wrinkle-free...
**[05:22] ---**
I've removed all the bruised blossoms
**[05:24] ---**
from the master's favorite white
roses so that they look beautiful...
**[05:28] ---**
And I've prepared lavish amounts of
all the carefully-chosen ingredients
**[05:31] ---**
for the cornerstone of
good hospitality: dinner.
**[05:35] ---**
This is the first-class
hospitality of the Phantomhives.
**[05:43] ---**
My goodness, calling for
me when I'm so busy...
**[05:46] ---**
Are guests comin'?
**[05:49] ---**
This is our chance!
**[05:51] ---**
We won't let him keep lookin'
down on us like this!
**[05:54] ---**
We'll provide above-and-beyond service
**[05:58] ---**
that'll make Sebastian's jaw drop!
**[06:01] ---**
No point in lettin' your *own* jaws drop.
**[06:03] ---**
But that's a good idea, yes!
**[06:05] ---**
Right, we can't just depend
on Sebastian for everything!
**[06:08] ---**
All right then, time to form our strategy!
**[06:11] ---**
Let's do it!
**[06:15] ---**
I'm hungry. I want to eat something sweet.
**[06:18] ---**
You shouldn't, young master.
**[06:20] ---**
You have dinner with your guest tonight.
**[06:23] ---**
I don't care. Make me a parfait or something.
**[06:25] ---**
You really should not.
**[06:27] ---**
Oh, and about the portrait in the hall...
**[06:30] ---**
Yes?
**[06:32] ---**
Take it down.
**[06:34] ---**
I, Ciel Phantomhive, am
the head of the house now.
**[06:45] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[06:49] ---**
So...
**[06:50] ---**
...how exactly did *this* come about?
**[06:53] ---**
I used undiluted weed-killer.
I thought it would be effective!
**[06:58] ---**
I was trying to get out the
tea set we use for guests,
**[07:01] ---**
but I fell and took the cart down with me!
**[07:03] ---**
There was some raw meat on the
counter, so I figured I'd cook it...
**[07:06] ---**
uh, with a flamethrower...
**[07:12] ---**
We're sorry, Sebastian!
**[07:14] ---**
--But see, raw meat is...
**[07:15] ---**
--*Our guest will be here
a bit after six o'clock.*
**[07:19] ---**
*At most, we have two hours left.*
**[07:23] ---**
*We don't have enough time to
get high-quality meat or tea sets...*
**[07:27] ---**
*What shall I do?*
**[07:28] ---**
Calm down, all of you!
**[07:30] ---**
Now listen to me: take a page
from Tanaka's book and behave like--
**[07:38] ---**
Everyone, listen carefully to what
I'm about to say, and act immediately.
**[07:44] ---**
We'll manage with this.
**[07:58] ---**
My goodness...
**[08:05] ---**
Welcome!
**[08:07] ---**
This is called a "stone garden."
It's traditional in Japan.
**[08:10] ---**
*Prodigioso*! Wonderful!
**[08:14] ---**
What an elegant garden.
**[08:16] ---**
We would like to serve dinner here tonight.
**[08:21] ---**
Please wait inside the manor
until it is time to dine.
**[08:26] ---**
That's the house of Phantomhive for you.
**[08:29] ---**
I can't wait until this evening!
**[08:36] ---**
W-We made it in time!
**[08:38] ---**
Who'd have thought the
gravel I rushed out to buy
**[08:41] ---**
would make such a great garden?!
**[08:43] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do this much isn't worth his salt.
**[08:48] ---**
There's still work to be done.
**[08:50] ---**
Let's get to it while the young master
is talking business with his guest.
**[08:54] ---**
Right!
**[08:59] ---**
The progress of spinning technology
in East India is truly astonishing.
**[09:04] ---**
We're also developing
quite a top-notch staff...
**[09:07] ---**
"You are bewitched by the eyes of the dead."
**[09:09] ---**
Rotten luck. I lose a turn.
**[09:13] ---**
Now is the perfect opportunity!
**[09:15] ---**
We'd like to expand our
company and secure a labor force--
**[09:18] ---**
It's your turn.
**[09:20] ---**
Ah, yes, then if you'll excuse me...
**[09:27] ---**
All right, five spaces.
**[09:30] ---**
So, if I might ask for
your support in the form
**[09:34] ---**
of another 12,000 pounds...
**[09:37] ---**
I believe it would be a profitable
venture for you, my lord.
**[09:41] ---**
I would like to become a vehicle
for the Funtom Company
**[09:43] ---**
to make an even bigger name
for itself in South Asia--
**[09:45] ---**
"You lose a leg in the enchanted forest."
**[09:47] ---**
Huh?
**[09:48] ---**
It's your turn again. I
lost a turn, remember?
**[09:52] ---**
O-Oh, quite.
**[09:57] ---**
Right, six...
**[10:00] ---**
No, that's three.
**[10:01] ---**
What? But...
**[10:03] ---**
You lost a leg, remember?
**[10:05] ---**
From now on, you can only
go half the number of spaces.
**[10:09] ---**
This is quite a severe boardgame.
**[10:12] ---**
Isn't there any way to regain my leg?
**[10:16] ---**
Once you've lost something,
you never get it back.
**[10:26] ---**
"Your body is burnt by the raging flames."
**[10:48] ---**
How are the preparations?
**[10:49] ---**
I'm doin' it... but is
this really good enough?
**[10:53] ---**
Yes, that's perfect.
**[10:55] ---**
Sebastian! I found them, yes!
**[11:02] ---**
"Fragile"
**[11:05] ---**
I can't believe you...
**[11:07] ---**
How many times have I told
you not to run inside the manor?
**[11:11] ---**
I'm so sorry, yes!
**[11:13] ---**
My glasses are cracked, and I
can't really see where I'm going!
**[11:15] ---**
But now we don't have to
worry about the key players.
**[11:19] ---**
Good work. Leave the rest
to me and take a break.
**[11:24] ---**
I request you behave very well-- *very well*.
**[11:29] ---**
He said it twice...
**[11:30] ---**
He just said that twice.
**[11:36] ---**
Dinner is served.
**[11:38] ---**
Ah, the dinner in the stone garden?
**[11:42] ---**
I've been eagerly awaiting it.
**[11:43] ---**
Then we'll finish playing later.
**[11:46] ---**
I'm not sure we need to finish it;
it's clear that I'll lose.
**[11:50] ---**
It's not my style to abandon
a game halfway through.
**[11:55] ---**
Child.
**[11:57] ---**
I mean, the flexible heart of a
child is required of a craftsman.
**[12:03] ---**
That must be what made the
Phantomhives the nation's foremost toymakers.
**[12:08] ---**
You certainly impress me!
**[12:12] ---**
On tonight's menu
**[12:14] ---**
is a finely-chopped raw beef
*donburi* from our chef Baldroy.
**[12:18] ---**
"Don"...?
**[12:21] ---**
"He Just Sliced and Layered It"
**[12:23] ---**
And this is... dinner...?
**[12:26] ---**
Yes. Are you familiar with it?
**[12:30] ---**
A traditional cuisine passed down
in Japan since ancient times!
**[12:33] ---**
A treat offered to someone
**[12:34] ---**
who has done work of note as a sign
of gratitude and appreciation!
**[12:37] ---**
That is the food we call the *donburi* bowl!
**[12:42] ---**
I'm bowled over!
**[12:44] ---**
We devised this scheme to show
but a small token of our thanks
**[12:47] ---**
for your devoted efforts on
behalf of the Funtom Company.
**[12:51] ---**
That's our Sebastian!
**[12:53] ---**
Nice save!
**[12:54] ---**
What a unique idea!
**[12:56] ---**
That's the legendary first-rate
Phantomhive hospitality for you!
**[13:02] ---**
We've prepared a wine whose bouquet
won't clash with the scent of soy sauce.
**[13:07] ---**
Mey-Rin.
**[13:09] ---**
Mey-Rin!
**[13:10] ---**
Y-Yes, Sir!
**[13:12] ---**
Don't just stand there;
pour him a glass of wine.
**[13:15] ---**
R-Right! Yes!
**[13:17] ---**
Hey...
**[13:19] ---**
Isn't Mey-Rin actin' kinda weird?
**[13:23] ---**
S-S-Sebastian, you shouldn't
make that face in public...
**[13:27] ---**
That face... that face...!
**[13:32] ---**
Mey-Rin, you're spilling the wine!
**[14:01] ---**
Hmm? Where did the tablecloth go?
**[14:04] ---**
I saw a speck of dirt on the
tablecloth, so I had it removed.
**[14:09] ---**
Please pay no mind.
**[14:11] ---**
My deepest apologies, Sir.
**[14:13] ---**
Please take your time and enjoy your dinner.
**[14:16] ---**
Well...
**[14:18] ---**
I'm staggered, Lord Phantomhive.
**[14:21] ---**
What a truly able man he is.
**[14:24] ---**
He merely did what was proper as my servant.
**[14:28] ---**
My master is quite right.
**[14:30] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[14:37] ---**
My, I thoroughly enjoyed that!
**[14:40] ---**
Now then, about the contract...
**[14:42] ---**
Before that, we must finish our game.
**[14:46] ---**
A-Ah, quite.
**[14:47] ---**
But I'm afraid I have
another appointment to go to...
**[14:51] ---**
Children are avid for games.
**[14:53] ---**
You know that as well as I do.
**[14:57] ---**
In that case, might I ask to borrow
your telephone for a moment first?
**[15:04] ---**
I've brought tea.
**[15:06] ---**
I'll be right back.
**[15:10] ---**
What is this? The aroma is so weak.
**[15:13] ---**
I brought Italian tea in
deference to our guest.
**[15:17] ---**
Italian tea?
**[15:18] ---**
In Italy coffee is the mainstream drink,
**[15:21] ---**
so it's difficult to find
high-quality teas there.
**[15:24] ---**
It's not to your liking, my lord?
**[15:28] ---**
No. I don't like it at all.
**[15:33] ---**
I'll go prepare the pudding.
**[15:36] ---**
Yes, let him enjoy the
Phantomhive hospitality
**[15:40] ---**
to its fullest.
**[15:44] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:54] ---**
Christ, I can't stand babysitting!
**[15:57] ---**
Yes, the factory is long since sold off.
**[16:00] ---**
Now I just need to pocket all the
cash I swindle out of that brat...
**[16:06] ---**
The employees? Who cares about *them*?
**[16:13] ---**
Never mind... Anyway, I'll leave
the rest of the formalities to you.
**[16:17] ---**
Sure, it's no problem.
**[16:21] ---**
In the end, he's just a kid.
**[16:48] ---**
That again... It must be my imagination.
**[16:52] ---**
"You are bewitched by the eyes of the dead."
**[16:58] ---**
Ridiculous.
**[17:04] ---**
Huh?
**[17:09] ---**
This isn't it either...
**[17:11] ---**
Or this one...
**[17:13] ---**
This mansion is huge! I can't find
my way back to the drawing room.
**[17:18] ---**
"You are bewitched by the eyes of the dead."
**[17:31] ---**
Stay away!
**[17:34] ---**
Huh? Wasn't that our guest?
**[17:36] ---**
Hey! If we don't move this thing quick,
**[17:39] ---**
Sebastian'll yell at us again!
**[17:41] ---**
Right!
**[17:45] ---**
Oh, I'm so embarrassed!
I really bungled that!
**[17:50] ---**
But...
**[17:52] ---**
I got to be so close to Sebastian...
**[17:55] ---**
Oh, how shameful! I'm such a lecherous maid!
**[18:02] ---**
Lose a turn.
**[18:12] ---**
A-Are you all right?!
**[18:16] ---**
His... His leg is twisted the wrong way, yes!
**[18:20] ---**
Hey, what's wrong?
**[18:22] ---**
O-Our guest...!
**[18:26] ---**
"You lose a leg in the enchanted forest."
**[18:34] ---**
S-Sir...?
**[18:44] ---**
Where are you going, Sir?
**[18:48] ---**
We aren't finished entertaining you yet.
**[18:51] ---**
We still have to serve pudding.
**[18:54] ---**
If you lose a leg
**[18:56] ---**
you can only go half the
number of spaces anyway,
**[18:59] ---**
so why not relax and make yourself at home?
**[19:09] ---**
Damn, I can't see a thing...
**[19:18] ---**
A cupboard?
**[19:29] ---**
Damn... It's so cramped in here!
**[19:33] ---**
What's this?
**[19:35] ---**
It smells sweet...
**[19:42] ---**
What an impatient guest you are.
**[19:45] ---**
To think you would try to get
at the pudding in the oven...
**[19:49] ---**
O-Oven?!
**[19:51] ---**
Open up! Please, open the door!
**[19:56] ---**
Don't Italians know?
**[20:00] ---**
Plum pudding, mincemeat pie...
**[20:03] ---**
There are many puddings here in
England that contain animal fat.
**[20:10] ---**
"Your body is burnt by the raging flames."
**[20:18] ---**
What was that scream?
**[20:19] ---**
No idea...
**[20:21] ---**
Oh, hi Sebastian!
**[20:23] ---**
Thank you for your work today.
**[20:25] ---**
Would you like some lemon meringue pie?
***SIGN*** "Lemon Meringue Pie"
**[20:29] ---**
Sweet things relieve fatigue.
**[20:32] ---**
--Sebastian! You're such a nice person!
**[20:33] ---**
--Sebastian! You're not
all bad! I'm so moved!
**[20:38] ---**
Ah, yes, Baldo--
a tradesman will be coming by later.
**[20:41] ---**
Have him replace the oven in the kitchen.
**[20:45] ---**
Huh? The oven?
**[20:48] ---**
*Mr. Damiano, I hope you
enjoyed the Phantomhive hospitality*
**[20:54] ---**
*down to the very marrow of your bones.*
**[20:58] ---**
Mamma mia!
**[21:03] ---**
What an ugly scream. He
sounds like a strangled pig.
**[21:08] ---**
He sells the factory without telling me,
**[21:11] ---**
and then says he wants to
"secure a labor force"?
**[21:14] ---**
Did he really think he could keep
that a secret? That stupid trickster...
**[21:27] ---**
Once you've lost something,
you never get it back.
**[21:40] ---**
It looks as though we'll have
to redo the wallpaper as well.
**[21:59] ---**
Father! Mother!
**[22:18] ---**
The head of the house of Phantomhive, eh?
**[24:04] ---**
*The young master is also known by
another name: "the Queen's guard dog."*
**[24:08] ---**
*That small body houses plenty of fight.*
**[24:10] ---**
*Please enjoy the valiant figure of him*
**[24:12] ---**
*suffering excruciating pain at
the hands of a drug trafficking ring*
**[24:15] ---**
*with a smirk on your face
and a cup of tea in one hand.*
**[24:18] ---**
*Also, don't miss my brilliant
display of silverware handling,*
**[24:22] ---**
*upon which I will stake my honor
as butler to the Phantomhives.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Strongest."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Strongest"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

Bloody hell, it's done for.

Rats again?

them this far out of the city...
**[00:23] ---**
Found you, rat!

**[02:08] ---**
"His Butler, Strongest"
**[02:14] ---**
Oh, there's another one!
**[02:15] ---**
Don't let it get away!
**[02:20] ---**
Quite the commotion out there.
**[02:23] ---**
It seems you have rats here as well.
**[02:28] ---**
How long do you intend to
let those vermin run wild?
**[02:33] ---**
They forage through our pantries
and do nothing but spread disease!
**[02:35] ---**
"Run wild"? Isn't he simply
leaving them at large to observe them?
**[02:40] ---**
Yes, he always aims to settle
things with one blow.
**[02:44] ---**
Will you pass on this turn
too, Lord Phantomhive?
**[02:47] ---**
Pass. It's my policy not
to hit balls I can't sink.
**[02:52] ---**
Never mind the pompous talk.
When will you exterminate the vermin?
**[02:55] ---**
Anytime you like.
The forbidden cheese with its rat bites...
**[03:00] ---**
The key to the storehouse is in my hands.
**[03:08] ---**
However, it will require
a certain amount of effort
**[03:12] ---**
to find the rats' nest and exterminate them.
**[03:15] ---**
What say you prepare a suitable reward?
**[03:18] ---**
You vulture.
**[03:19] ---**
Sir Arthur, do you have the
right to insult my family crest?
**[03:24] ---**
Heh, foul. Mucked that one up.
**[03:26] ---**
What will you do, Lord Phantomhive?
**[03:29] ---**
Perhaps it's time to end this worthless game.
**[03:35] ---**
How soon can you prepare the reward?
**[03:38] ---**
By tonight.
**[03:42] ---**
I'll send a carriage for you later.
**[03:46] ---**
We'll have some slight
entertainment ready for you.
**[03:50] ---**
Are you going to go after all
the balls in *this* situation?!
**[03:53] ---**
Naturally.
**[03:54] ---**
Greed will be your undoing.
**[04:06] ---**
Greed, eh?
**[04:09] ---**
Today's tea is a darjeeling
from Fortnum & Mason.
**[04:15] ---**
It smells delicious. Tea can be
exceptional when well brewed, hmm?
**[04:22] ---**
Grell.
**[04:23] ---**
Y-Yes, my lady?
**[04:24] ---**
Learn something from him.
**[04:26] ---**
Y-Yes, my lady...
**[04:28] ---**
That aside...
**[04:30] ---**
You're a fine-looking man, aren't you?
**[04:32] ---**
Quit serving in this silly
country house and come to me!
**[04:36] ---**
Madam Red...
**[04:37] ---**
Oh, goodness, I'm sorry! I just
couldn't help but want to palpate him!
**[04:41] ---**
Perhaps that's just how doctors are.
**[04:44] ---**
You believe the drug trafficker was
one of your guests today, my lord?
**[04:49] ---**
Perhaps.
**[04:50] ---**
You can just leave this
extermination business to Lau.
**[04:53] ---**
A rat knows best where the
rats' nest is, doesn't he?
**[04:57] ---**
I'm a tame guinea pig, actually.
**[05:01] ---**
If the earl orders me not to,
I won't do anything uncalled-for.
**[05:05] ---**
Hey! Keep your paws off of my darling nephew!
**[05:09] ---**
You wound me. I wouldn't paw at him *here*.
**[05:13] ---**
You're saying you *would* somewhere else?!
**[05:15] ---**
That's a problematic statement, you know!
**[05:17] ---**
--Sorry, sorry.
**[05:17] ---**
--I hope you know that's my
darling, darling nephew there!
**[05:18] ---**
--Young master?
**[05:22] ---**
Here...
**[05:24] ---**
--It went that way, guys!
**[05:26] ---**
--And here...
**[05:26] ---**
--It's him!
**[05:32] ---**
Young master?
**[05:34] ---**
Today we'll be having a
deep-dish apple raisin pie.
***SIGN*** "Deep-Dish Apple Raisin Pie"
**[05:39] ---**
It will be ready soon; will
you eat with your guests?
**[05:42] ---**
Bring it to my room. I can't
deal with them anymore.
**[05:46] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[05:58] ---**
Stop playing and get to work.
**[06:01] ---**
Yes, Sir.
**[06:04] ---**
Finally, peace and quiet.
**[06:13] ---**
Young master, I've brought
your afternoon tea.
**[06:19] ---**
Young master?
**[06:24] ---**
This is terrible.
**[06:26] ---**
The tea will go to waste.
**[06:38] ---**
"The order of England's underworld"...
**[06:41] ---**
One of the "villainous nobles"
**[06:42] ---**
that have assumed the bad-guy role
for the royal family for generations...
**[06:46] ---**
"The Queen's guard dog,"
who uses his absolute power
**[06:50] ---**
to bite to death anyone who opposes her...
**[06:53] ---**
Just how many nicknames do you have,
**[06:56] ---**
and how many families have you crushed...
**[06:59] ---**
...Ciel Phantomhive?
**[07:02] ---**
I thought it was you,
**[07:04] ---**
Azzurro Vanel of the Ferro family!
**[07:09] ---**
Say, little Phantomhive,
**[07:12] ---**
it's tough for the Italian
Mafia in this country.
**[07:15] ---**
All these Englishman have
tea-encrusted brains.
**[07:19] ---**
People in the family business like us
**[07:21] ---**
have to rack our brains to come
up with smart ways to make money.
**[07:25] ---**
And that's exactly what drugs are for.
**[07:27] ---**
In the Pharmacy Act of '68,
even opium was listed as restricted.
**[07:32] ---**
The Queen has ordered me
**[07:34] ---**
not to let the vermin or
the drugs run wild anymore.
**[07:39] ---**
This is why I hate Englishmen.
The Queen this, the Queen that...
**[07:43] ---**
You're all a bunch of mama's
boys about your stupid Queen.
**[07:46] ---**
You try to line your own pockets
while you bind us with rules...
**[07:50] ---**
But we're birds of a feather, aren't we?
**[07:54] ---**
Let's get along.
**[07:56] ---**
I've left orders for my servants
**[07:58] ---**
to give your storehouse key to
the authorities if I don't come back.
**[08:03] ---**
Sorry, but I have no intention of
making friends with a filthy rat.
**[08:08] ---**
Don't you underestimate
an adult, you damned brat!
**[08:11] ---**
I already have my men waiting at your estate.
**[08:14] ---**
Where's the key?
**[08:15] ---**
Spit it out fast, or I'll kill
your servants one by one.
**[08:22] ---**
You'd better hope your little lap
dogs actually know how to fetch.
**[08:34] ---**
Did you hear that? Negotiations broke down.
**[08:42] ---**
Now, where can the young
master have gone off to?
**[08:48] ---**
Sebastian!
**[08:51] ---**
I just found a letter at the front door, yes!
**[08:53] ---**
Addressed to whom?
**[08:55] ---**
Er, "The Earl Phantomhive's Servants."
**[09:20] ---**
Mey-Rin, the letter.
**[09:23] ---**
Y-Yes sir, yes!
**[09:25] ---**
"If you want us to return your master safely,
**[09:27] ---**
bring *it* to Nova Scotia
Gardens in Bethnal Green."
**[09:33] ---**
What a vulgar invitation.
**[09:36] ---**
Sebastian!
**[09:38] ---**
Say, what happened?
**[09:40] ---**
I apologize for the commotion.
**[09:42] ---**
Nothing is the matter, so please don't worry.
**[09:45] ---**
"Nothing"...?
**[09:47] ---**
I'm sorry, everyone, but
would you please clean this up?
**[09:55] ---**
By "clean up," do you mean...
**[09:57] ---**
we can eat this?
**[09:59] ---**
Huh?
**[10:01] ---**
Sebastian?
**[10:06] ---**
Sorry, I bungled it.
**[10:07] ---**
Bungled it?!
**[10:09] ---**
You useless fools!
**[10:11] ---**
This is the problem with scum like you...
**[10:13] ---**
Forget it, just get back here!
**[10:18] ---**
W-Wait, there's something strange...
**[10:22] ---**
Wh-What's that?!
**[10:25] ---**
What, you meet a bear
in the woods or someth--
**[10:31] ---**
What's with you guys?
Did you attract too much attention?
**[10:33] ---**
Speed up!
**[10:45] ---**
It's coming...
**[10:50] ---**
Cut it out already!
**[10:52] ---**
No good, it's here!
**[11:02] ---**
H-Hey... What happened?
**[11:09] ---**
Sounds like your game of fetch failed.
**[11:16] ---**
Quiet, you damn brat!
**[11:22] ---**
Hey, if you don't answer me right now,
I swear I'll kill you mongrels!
**[11:27] ---**
Hello.
**[11:29] ---**
I represent the Phantomhive estate.
**[11:34] ---**
Would my master happen to be there?
**[11:38] ---**
Hello? What's the matter?
**[11:42] ---**
Hello?
**[11:47] ---**
Woof.
**[11:52] ---**
Very good, my lord. I'll be
there to pick you up momentarily.
**[12:01] ---**
Thank you for letting me use your telephone.
**[12:06] ---**
By the way, I have a few
questions I'd like to ask you.
**[12:10] ---**
First, who is your master?
**[12:14] ---**
I am not a very patient man.
**[12:18] ---**
You don't want to turn into
Humpty Dumpties, do you?
**[12:23] ---**
He's Azzurro Vanel of the Ferro family!
**[12:25] ---**
He has a hideout in the northern East End!
**[12:30] ---**
We only work for him!
**[12:31] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[12:34] ---**
I'm sorry to have stopped you.
**[12:37] ---**
Please, be on your way.
**[12:54] ---**
Oh my, look at the time.
**[13:01] ---**
If I don't hurry, I'll be late for dinner.
**[13:18] ---**
Hey, is everything really all right?
**[13:19] ---**
If that butler says nothing is wrong.
**[13:23] ---**
There's something unshakeable between
him and the earl after all the time
**[13:28] ---**
they've spent together.
**[13:30] ---**
He's always stuck fast to
the earl, like a shadow.
**[13:36] ---**
Huh? Didn't Sebastian only
come to him about two years ago?
**[13:40] ---**
Really? Well, the human
memory is rather vague...
**[13:45] ---**
Right, Ran-Mao?
**[13:48] ---**
Why, you...
**[13:50] ---**
The Phantomhive guard dog
is going to bust in here!
**[13:53] ---**
Tighten security at the gate!
Don't even let a single rat through!
**[13:56] ---**
Don't let him set one foot inside!
**[14:03] ---**
My, what a fine mansion.
**[14:07] ---**
Who the devil are you?!
**[14:09] ---**
Ah, my apologies.
**[14:12] ---**
I represent the house of Phantomhive.
**[14:17] ---**
Oh, where did Sebastian go?
**[14:21] ---**
Totally...
**[14:23] ---**
I don't care where he is or what he's doin'.
**[14:26] ---**
The issue right now is *this*!
**[14:28] ---**
By "clean it up," does
he mean we can eat it?!
**[14:31] ---**
Or can't we?!
**[14:33] ---**
I think maybe we can.
**[14:36] ---**
Idiot! If we make the wrong call on this one,
**[14:39] ---**
we'll be sportin' his special
"triple-scoop ice cream" on our heads!
**[14:43] ---**
Baldo, it's not good to get irritated, no!
**[14:46] ---**
You're short on calcium. Drink this, yes!
**[14:49] ---**
I don't want it.
**[14:51] ---**
Do not underestimate milk!
**[14:53] ---**
If you drink lots of it,
your bones will grow strong, yes!
**[14:57] ---**
My bone... My bone is broken!
**[15:01] ---**
Excuse me, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.
**[15:05] ---**
5:34.
**[15:33] ---**
Shit! Call in the guys
from the west building!
**[15:37] ---**
We'll pump him full of bullets!
**[15:38] ---**
A swarm of rats...
**[15:41] ---**
I'll get nowhere at this rate.
**[15:43] ---**
I've decided! I'm gonna eat it!
**[15:45] ---**
Mey-Rin, get tea! Finny, get out the silver!
**[15:49] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[15:51] ---**
I'm sure it was this drawer... Huh?
**[15:54] ---**
Somethin' wrong?
**[15:56] ---**
That's strange.
**[15:57] ---**
The silverware should be here,
but I don't see a single piece.
**[16:13] ---**
Who the hell is that guy?!
**[16:16] ---**
A Phantomhive butler
**[16:18] ---**
who can't do this much isn't worth his salt.
**[16:38] ---**
My goodness... That took a little
more time than I would have liked.
**[16:44] ---**
5:43.
**[17:00] ---**
I have come to retrieve my master.
**[17:02] ---**
Ha! This is a surprise.
**[17:04] ---**
I was imagining a brawny giant, but
you're just some milksop in a tailcoat...
**[17:09] ---**
Who are you? You're not just a butler.
**[17:13] ---**
No, I am merely one hell of a butler...
**[17:16] ---**
That's all.
**[17:18] ---**
Oh, really? At any rate, I
don't intend to fight you.
**[17:23] ---**
But...
**[17:30] ---**
You better have brought the goods.
**[17:32] ---**
Yes.
**[17:34] ---**
Here it is.
**[17:37] ---**
Seba--
**[17:51] ---**
Sorry, milksop, but I win this game!
**[17:56] ---**
I'm up against Phantomhive, the game master,
**[17:59] ---**
so of course I had a trump card to play!
**[18:01] ---**
I damaged the goods a little bit,
**[18:04] ---**
but you should fetch a good price
even if they can't sell your parts.
**[18:09] ---**
Now, no need to be scared.
**[18:12] ---**
By the time some pervert takes you in...
**[18:15] ---**
Hey! How long are you going to play around?
**[18:18] ---**
How long do you intend to play dead?
**[18:22] ---**
Goodness gracious...
**[18:24] ---**
Th-That's impossible!
**[18:31] ---**
Today's guns are so much more efficient...
**[18:35] ---**
Quite different than the
guns of a hundred years ago.
**[18:42] ---**
I'll give these back to you.
**[18:44] ---**
What are you waiting for?! Kill him!
**[18:55] ---**
Oh dear, my clothes are full of holes.
**[18:59] ---**
That's what you get for
fooling around, you idiot.
**[19:02] ---**
Young master, you look good.
**[19:08] ---**
St-Stop!
**[19:09] ---**
You're like a caterpillar;
it's quite pathetic and wonderful.
**[19:13] ---**
It suits a small, weak creature like you.
**[19:16] ---**
I-If you come any closer, I'll kill him!
**[19:20] ---**
Hurry it up. This guy's breath stinks.
**[19:23] ---**
But if I come any closer, you'll be killed.
**[19:26] ---**
Do you intend to violate our contract?
**[19:29] ---**
Of course not. I am your faithful servant.
**[19:33] ---**
What the hell kind of nonsense is this?!
**[19:36] ---**
Young master,
**[19:38] ---**
haven't I taught you
how to coax me into things?
**[19:44] ---**
This is an order. Save me!
**[19:48] ---**
Shut up!
**[20:00] ---**
Wh-Why isn't he dead?
**[20:03] ---**
Looking for something?
**[20:10] ---**
I'll give this back to you.
**[20:21] ---**
This game wasn't much fun.
**[20:27] ---**
Wait! Come serve me.
**[20:30] ---**
Be my bodyguard and I'll pay
you five times what he does now.
**[20:33] ---**
No, ten times!
**[20:36] ---**
And you can have
all the wine and women you want! So--
**[20:40] ---**
Unfortunately, Mr. Vanel,
**[20:42] ---**
I have no interest in the
rubbish created by humans.
**[20:47] ---**
You see,
**[20:49] ---**
I am merely one *hell* of a butler.
**[20:53] ---**
H-Hell...?
**[21:03] ---**
As long as my young master holds
the contract, I am his loyal lapdog.
**[21:09] ---**
I am bound to my master
**[21:12] ---**
by a sacrifice, a wish, and a contract.
**[21:17] ---**
Until the day I take his soul.
**[21:23] ---**
Unfortunately for you, this is game over.
**[21:38] ---**
Awake, my lord?
**[21:47] ---**
Young master! Welcome back!
**[21:53] ---**
Master Ciel, you're hurt!
**[21:55] ---**
I just tripped while I was
out. Don't worry about it.
**[21:58] ---**
What, you don't trust the
words of the family head?
**[22:01] ---**
That's not it; it's just...
**[22:03] ---**
That looks fun! Like when
you lift a baby in the air!
**[22:08] ---**
P-Put me down, now!
**[22:11] ---**
Of course it wasn't "fun"! You two are--
**[22:14] ---**
Young master.
**[22:16] ---**
I apologize.
**[22:19] ---**
I've committed a blunder
unworthy of a Phantomhive butler.
**[22:22] ---**
I do not know how I can atone...
**[22:25] ---**
The preparations for tonight's
dinner are nowhere near complete.
**[24:04] ---**
*We will be holding a ball at
Lady Elizabeth's suggestion.*
**[24:06] ---**
*My young master's dancing
is so wonderfully pathetic*
**[24:09] ---**
*that it not only shames the professionals,*
**[24:12] ---**
*but causes them to writhe uncontrollably
with laughter until they fall dead.*
**[24:19] ---**
*It looks as though I will have
to provide careful tutelage.*
**[24:23] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Omnipotent."*
**[24:25] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Omnipotent"
**[24:28] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:06] ---**
Nooooooooooooo!
**[00:24] ---**
Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
**[00:29] ---**
I-I'm so sorry! I'll wipe you off right away!
**[00:38] ---**
Young master, why did you
take in this useless bum?
**[00:42] ---**
Are you one to talk?
**[00:45] ---**
I miscalculated.
**[00:47] ---**
Say, Ciel, my Grell is completely useless!
**[00:52] ---**
Would you mind having Sebastian
train him as a butler?
**[00:56] ---**
I'll reward you handsomely. All right?
**[00:59] ---**
I thought the only one
inconvenienced would be Sebastian,
**[01:02] ---**
and *I* wouldn't suffer any harm...
**[01:07] ---**
I'm terribly sorry for causing
you all such trouble...
**[01:11] ---**
I know! I will die once and for all...
**[01:15] ---**
I'll atone with my death!
**[01:17] ---**
Hey, don't do anythin' rash!
**[01:19] ---**
Wh-When did he get that knife...?
**[01:23] ---**
No need for you to die.
**[01:27] ---**
If blood sprays everywhere, the room
will be that much harder to clean.
**[01:33] ---**
Sebastian, you're so kind...
**[01:37] ---**
Was that kind?
**[01:40] ---**
In any case, I cannot believe
you would serve the young master
**[01:43] ---**
such fragranceless tea.
**[01:46] ---**
Now pay attention:
**[01:47] ---**
you put in a scoop of leaves for
each person and one more for the pot.
**[01:52] ---**
A half-pint of boiling water should do it.
**[02:02] ---**
Young master, it's almost time.
**[02:06] ---**
I have a carriage waiting out front.
**[02:09] ---**
Right.
**[02:10] ---**
All right, everyone,
I'll leave the cleaning up to you.
**[02:14] ---**
Grell, please just sit and rest
**[02:17] ---**
so that you don't cause unnecessary trouble.
**[02:20] ---**
If you should decide to rest eternally,
**[02:24] ---**
I ask that you please do so outside.
**[02:28] ---**
Sebastian... You're so kind...
**[02:39] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[02:45] ---**
*There is no color to our meeting;
it blows through in monochrome*
**[02:52] ---**
*I go where your cool fingers beckon me*
**[02:57] ---**
*I am like troublesome ice after the melt*
**[03:04] ---**
*You gently scoop me up to your
mouth and play with my upper lip*
**[03:12] ---**
*Still, I search for a form of love*
**[03:18] ---**
*The dry eyes that shape the

**[03:24] ---**
*Want to end like this, cloaked*
**[03:30] ---**
*But the night ignores that

"His Butler, Omnipotent"
**[04:14] ---**
Extra! Extra!
**[04:17] ---**
Mysterious murder of a prostitute!
**[04:25] ---**
Hi there, kid. Your dad send you here?
**[04:30] ---**
Pardon, but we've come to
pick up my master's walking stick.
**[04:34] ---**
Oh, you're here for *this* stick.
**[04:39] ---**
I was wondering who'd use a cane so short,
**[04:43] ---**
but I never imagined it
would be such a young chi--
**[04:47] ---**
It's a magnificent stick.
Straight as an arrow.
**[04:56] ---**
Keep the change.
**[05:02] ---**
That ridiculous strength
of Finny's is a nuisance.
**[05:05] ---**
How could someone *accidentally
*break a walking stick?
**[05:08] ---**
I had to have a new one made!
**[05:11] ---**
Yes, a pity you had to go to the trouble
when you're not even any taller.
**[05:16] ---**
And today we gained yet
another troublesome servant.
**[05:20] ---**
Let's not stay out too long.
**[05:23] ---**
Look, Mama, it's a Bitter Rabbit
from Funtom! It's brand new!
**[05:28] ---**
The Funtom Company...
**[05:30] ---**
The toy and confection maker
**[05:33] ---**
that achieved rapid growth
in under three years.
**[05:35] ---**
This is a magnificent manor that really
shows the greatness of the company!
**[05:39] ---**
Oh, how stately it is!
**[05:42] ---**
It's barely been two
years since it was built.
**[05:45] ---**
What? But it's so dignified...
**[05:48] ---**
That's only natural.
**[05:53] ---**
Oh, it's Real Tanaka!
**[05:56] ---**
It's been three months, yes!
**[05:58] ---**
This manor is built to be
exactly like the old one.
**[06:02] ---**
It's faithfully reproduced
**[06:05] ---**
down to the finest cracks in the pillars.
**[06:08] ---**
Reproduced?
**[06:10] ---**
The entire Phantomhive estate
**[06:13] ---**
went down in flames three years ago.
**[06:20] ---**
Th-Then... Forgive me for asking,
**[06:23] ---**
but did Master Ciel's parents...?
**[06:26] ---**
Yes. The previous generation
of Phantomhives died in the fire.
**[06:38] ---**
I see...
**[06:43] ---**
Tanaka?!
**[06:44] ---**
His normal heat consumption is very low,
**[06:47] ---**
so when he's Real Tanaka for
more than three minutes,
**[06:50] ---**
it makes him sleepy.
**[06:51] ---**
I-I see...
**[07:05] ---**
Why skulls?
**[07:06] ---**
I-I've caused you trouble again...
**[07:11] ---**
I'll... I'll atone with my death!
**[07:13] ---**
Quit dyin' over every little thing!
**[07:14] ---**
But if I don't hang myself,
it will be a stain on my honor!
**[07:21] ---**
--Grell!
**[07:22] ---**
--Grell!
**[07:30] ---**
You must be tired, young master.
**[07:32] ---**
I'll prepare your tea right away.
**[07:39] ---**
What's the mat--
**[07:47] ---**
My mansion...
**[07:49] ---**
What in the world happened?
**[07:52] ---**
Sebastian!
**[07:55] ---**
What on Earth happened?
**[07:56] ---**
Or rather, why are you dressed like that?
**[07:59] ---**
Ask the crazy girl!
**[08:01] ---**
"Crazy girl"?
**[08:10] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[08:12] ---**
As you can see, I'm on the verge of dying.
**[08:16] ---**
Get him down, Sebastian.
**[08:18] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[08:21] ---**
Ciel!
**[08:23] ---**
Ciel, I missed you!
**[08:27] ---**
Elizabeth!
**[08:28] ---**
Aw, you know I'm always
telling you to call me "Lizzie"!
**[08:32] ---**
Oh, every time I see you,
you're just so *cute*!
**[08:36] ---**
Lady Elizabeth.
**[08:38] ---**
Oh, Sebastian. Good afternoon.
**[08:41] ---**
Oh, no, you took him down?
**[08:44] ---**
Yes, my lady. He mars the beauty of the room.
**[08:46] ---**
Aw, but I made such a lovely
decoration out of him!
**[08:50] ---**
Decoration?
**[08:51] ---**
Yes! Look, the salon is
so cute now too, isn't it?
**[08:56] ---**
My... mansion...
**[08:58] ---**
Only cute things can exist in this mansion!
**[09:02] ---**
Right, Antoinette?
**[09:08] ---**
Even you, Tanaka?
**[09:09] ---**
I have a present for you, too.
**[09:12] ---**
Here.
**[09:14] ---**
Oh, it's so cute!
**[09:15] ---**
You're always dressed all in black,
so I thought this might be good!
**[09:23] ---**
I'm deeply honored at your consideration
**[09:27] ---**
for my humble self.
**[09:29] ---**
Don't mention it!
**[09:30] ---**
More importantly, Lizzie,
what are you doing here?
**[09:33] ---**
Where's Auntie?
**[09:34] ---**
I snuck away because I
wanted to see you, Ciel!
**[09:37] ---**
Sn-Snuck away?!
**[09:39] ---**
What were you thinking?
**[09:41] ---**
Er... Who is she?
**[09:44] ---**
Oh, this is the daughter
of the Marquess of Scotney,
**[09:47] ---**
Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford.
**[09:52] ---**
Sc-Scotney? Eliza-za-za...
**[09:56] ---**
Lady Elizabeth is my
young master's betrothed.
**[09:59] ---**
Ah, his betrothed.
**[10:02] ---**
Be...
**[10:03] ---**
tro...
**[10:04] ---**
thed?!
**[10:06] ---**
Lady Elizabeth is the
daughter of a marquess, after all.
**[10:09] ---**
Noblemen must marry noble ladies, obviously.
**[10:12] ---**
Say, I know!
**[10:14] ---**
Now that the mansion
looks so lovely and all,
**[10:17] ---**
let's have a ball tonight!
**[10:21] ---**
And I'll dance all around
with my fiancé as my escort!
**[10:24] ---**
Oh, how lovely!
**[10:26] ---**
Hey! Who gave you leave to--
**[10:28] ---**
Wear the clothes I picked
out for you, won't you Ciel?
**[10:30] ---**
I just know they'll be adorable!
**[10:32] ---**
Listen to me when I'm--
**[10:34] ---**
And I must dress to the nines as well!
**[10:36] ---**
Come on, I'll make you even cuter too!
**[10:42] ---**
Listen to me!
**[10:51] ---**
I believe the wisest thing to do today
**[10:55] ---**
would be to go along with her
plan and then ask her to leave.
**[10:57] ---**
Just give her some dinner or
something and get her out of here!
**[11:01] ---**
I don't have the time to go
along with her girlish hobbies.
**[11:04] ---**
But my lord, it appears
Lady Elizabeth desires a dance.
**[11:12] ---**
Young master?
**[11:14] ---**
What?
**[11:15] ---**
I've never seen you dance,
but I presume you can do it?
**[11:23] ---**
Well, that explains why you play
the wallflower when asked to parties.
**[11:29] ---**
I'm busy with work. I have
no time to waste on play--
**[11:34] ---**
With all due respect, young master,
**[11:36] ---**
it's called "social dance" for a reason,
**[11:39] ---**
and is a skill that will naturally be
***SIGN*** "Orchard Fruit Cake"
**[11:41] ---**
necessary at soirées and banquets.
**[11:45] ---**
The world expects a first-class
gentleman to know how to dance.
**[11:49] ---**
If you reject any more dance invitations,
**[11:52] ---**
your reputation in society
circles will plummet...
**[11:55] ---**
Fine, I'll do it! That'll
make you happy, right?
**[12:00] ---**
Call a tutor or something.
Mrs. Bright or Mrs. Rodkin...
**[12:03] ---**
There's no time to call a
madam now. By your leave...
**[12:10] ---**
I will instruct you in dancing.
**[12:13] ---**
Don't be ridiculous! I can't
dance with a tall man like you!
**[12:17] ---**
And do you even know how to dance?
**[12:20] ---**
Leave the Viennese waltzes to me.
**[12:23] ---**
I was often a guest at Schönbrunn Palace.
**[12:29] ---**
May I have this dance, my lord?
**[12:45] ---**
Now, begin the first step from your heel.
**[12:51] ---**
Please hold the lady's back firmly.
**[12:54] ---**
When the music begins,
lead with your left foot.
**[12:57] ---**
Now.
**[13:01] ---**
Next, a Natural Turn.
**[13:04] ---**
Slide your foot forward.
**[13:16] ---**
Your instinct for dance is not so
much lacking as catastrophic, my lord.
**[13:21] ---**
You mustn't simply hang off of me.
**[13:24] ---**
You're just too tall!
**[13:26] ---**
Most importantly,
**[13:28] ---**
you must first do something
about that glum expression.
**[13:31] ---**
It's rude to the lady.
**[13:34] ---**
Here, smile. As if you're having fun.
**[13:37] ---**
Let go!
**[13:39] ---**
Young master...
**[13:41] ---**
Anyway, I've...
**[13:43] ---**
...I've...
**[13:46] ---**
...forgotten how to smile
like I'm having fun...
**[13:59] ---**
Th-This is...
**[14:02] ---**
such a humiliating outfit...
**[14:05] ---**
Come on, just give up on this one.
**[14:07] ---**
This girlish, infantile white color...
**[14:11] ---**
If I have to dress up,
I wish it were a passionate red,
**[14:14] ---**
so I could look sexy and decadent!
**[14:16] ---**
*That's* your problem?!
**[14:18] ---**
If my only other choice is to live in shame,
**[14:21] ---**
I'd rather... I'd rather die...!
**[14:28] ---**
You're not going to stop me?
**[14:32] ---**
I'm sure blue will look good on Ciel!
**[14:36] ---**
I fell in love with the clothes I
bought while I was shopping in London!
**[14:41] ---**
All right, it's your turn next.
I'll make you adorable!
**[14:48] ---**
I'm *really* farsighted, and I
can't see anything without these, no!
**[14:52] ---**
You mustn't look at the
dream world with your eyes.
**[14:54] ---**
Feel it with your heart!
**[14:56] ---**
M-My heart?!
**[14:57] ---**
Let her be.
**[15:04] ---**
Ciel! You really are adorable!
**[15:08] ---**
I judged rightly!
**[15:12] ---**
Oh, my.
**[15:14] ---**
Ciel, where is the ring I brought you?
**[15:17] ---**
There was a cute one to match your clothes!
**[15:20] ---**
This ring is fine.
**[15:22] ---**
No! I went to so much trouble
to make everything cute,
**[15:25] ---**
but the ring isn't cute at all!
**[15:28] ---**
So you don't want to wear the
one I brought?! You're so cruel!
**[15:32] ---**
That's not it. This ring is--
**[15:36] ---**
Just kidding!
**[15:38] ---**
Got it!
**[15:40] ---**
Lizzie!
**[15:41] ---**
Yes, it's far too big! The one I
picked out is perfectly-sized and--
**[15:46] ---**
Give it back!
**[15:50] ---**
Give that back, Elizabeth.
**[15:53] ---**
Wh-Why are you so angry?
**[15:56] ---**
I went to such trouble...
**[16:00] ---**
What?! All I did was try
to make you adorable!
**[16:05] ---**
So why are you so angry?!
**[16:07] ---**
I hate this stupid ring!
**[16:25] ---**
Young master...
**[16:28] ---**
You forgot the new walking stick we had made.
**[16:42] ---**
That ring was very important to my master.
**[16:46] ---**
The heads of the Phantomhive family
passed it down for generations.
**[16:49] ---**
It was one-of-a-kind.
**[16:53] ---**
Please forgive my master his rudeness.
**[16:56] ---**
I... I destroyed such a precious ring...?
**[17:06] ---**
Ciel, I...
**[17:14] ---**
Ciel, how could you do that?!
**[17:16] ---**
It doesn't matter. It was just an old ring.
**[17:22] ---**
Even without that thing...
**[17:25] ---**
...I'm still the head of the Phantomhives!
**[17:37] ---**
How long are you going to cry?
**[17:40] ---**
B-But...
**[17:43] ---**
Your face is a mess. And
you call yourself a lady?
**[17:49] ---**
I don't fancy asking a lady
with such a messy face to dance...
**[17:54] ---**
Ciel...
**[18:04] ---**
H-How wonderful!
**[18:06] ---**
So Sebastian can even play the violin!
**[18:10] ---**
I'll join him!
**[18:21] ---**
What the hell?! He sounds good!
**[18:29] ---**
Soirée etiquette is to
forget all the unpleasant things
**[18:31] ---**
and dance the night away, right, my lady?
**[18:38] ---**
Yes!
**[19:20] ---**
I-I shall take responsibility for
escorting Lady Elizabeth home!
**[19:24] ---**
You gonna be all right?
**[19:26] ---**
Yes. I'm a more deadly efficient
butler than I look.☆
**[19:29] ---**
That's right-- Sebastian,
**[19:31] ---**
I've learned from you
what it means to be a butler!
**[19:35] ---**
They say that before a person dies,
his life flashes before his eyes.
**[19:39] ---**
I'm sure that if I die,
**[19:41] ---**
the dreamland I saw tonight will
flash before me over and over!
**[19:48] ---**
*You're* saying that?
**[19:49] ---**
I have the feeling a man like
him will never die, yes!
**[19:56] ---**
Good grief, what a rotten day.
**[20:01] ---**
You seemed to be quite enjoying yourself.
**[20:04] ---**
Don't be a fool.
**[20:08] ---**
Which of us is the fool?
**[20:13] ---**
This is important to you, isn't it?
**[20:15] ---**
And yet you showed off for Lady Elizabeth...
**[20:22] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do this much isn't worth his salt.
**[20:29] ---**
This ring exists to be on your finger.
**[20:33] ---**
Please cherish it.
**[20:36] ---**
True...
**[20:38] ---**
This ring has witnessed
the deaths of many masters.
**[20:42] ---**
My grandfather, my father, and...
**[20:45] ---**
I'm sure it will be present
at my death as well.
**[20:50] ---**
It's heard the dying screams of
the family heads over and over.
**[20:55] ---**
When I close my eyes, I can hear them...
those wretched voices...
**[21:00] ---**
I thought to myself, "If
I throw away the ring,
**[21:05] ---**
maybe I'll stop hearing them."
**[21:09] ---**
Ridiculous, isn't it?
**[21:15] ---**
Goodness, look how high the moon has risen.
**[21:19] ---**
You'll make yourself sick this way.
Please, get some rest.
**[21:29] ---**
Sebastian.
**[21:32] ---**
Stay by me until I fall asleep.
**[21:35] ---**
Oh, my-- you would display
weakness in front of me?
**[21:41] ---**
It's just an order.
**[21:49] ---**
I'll stay by you always, young master.
**[21:54] ---**
Until the end...
**[22:06] ---**
I'm still the head of the Phantomhives!
**[22:10] ---**
*Stay by me.*
**[22:24] ---**
*Now... I must prepare for tomorrow.*
**[24:04] ---**
*The prostitute serial murders
are the talk of the country.*
**[24:07] ---**
*In order to find the criminal, I must
certainly have my master do this...*
**[24:12] ---**
*Come, there's nothing to be afraid of.*
**[24:15] ---**
*It only hurts for a moment.*
**[24:17] ---**
*See, I've got it almost all the way.*
**[24:21] ---**
*Just a little further... and
it will fit like a glove.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Capricious."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Capricious"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

Ugh, there are too many people in London!
**[00:33] ---**
From the country manor house
to the London townhouse...
**[00:36] ---**
It's traditional for the nobility
to move en masse for the Season.
**[00:40] ---**
The Season, eh?
**[00:41] ---**
Honestly, these cretins
have too much free time.
**[00:44] ---**
Getting away from the estate occasionally
**[00:46] ---**
might provide a nice change of pace.
**[00:49] ---**
For one thing, those four aren't here...
**[00:51] ---**
We should be able to spend
some quiet time, my lord.
**[00:54] ---**
Quiet time, hmm?
**[01:00] ---**
For goodness's sake!
Wherever do they keep the tea in this place?
**[01:03] ---**
I can't find it either...
**[01:05] ---**
Oh, silly! Of course it's not over *there.*
**[01:05] ---**
"Should be able to spend some quiet time..."
**[01:09] ---**
Madam Red?! Lau?! What are you doing here?!
**[01:12] ---**
Goodness, you're early.
**[01:15] ---**
You coming here can mean only one thing.
**[01:18] ---**
The Queen's guard dog is making a move.

"His Butler, Capricious"
**[03:01] ---**
Another prostitute was
murdered in Whitechapel yesterday.
**[03:05] ---**
These aren't ordinary murders.
**[03:07] ---**
They're bizarre...
No, you could fairly call them aberrant.
**[03:11] ---**
A special blade was used on the most
recent victim, Mary Ann Nichols,
***SIGN*** "Pear & Blackberry Cornmeal Cake"
**[03:16] ---**
and she was torn apart
beyond all recognition.
**[03:20] ---**
Here's what Scotland Yard and
the press are calling the criminal:
**[03:25] ---**
"Jack the Ripper."
**[03:29] ---**
Jack the Ripper, eh?
**[03:31] ---**
So I hurried to London to
ascertain the situation.
**[03:39] ---**
Do you have the guts to
see the scene of that crime?
**[03:42] ---**
What do you mean?
**[03:44] ---**
The darkness and bestial
stench that pervade the scene
**[03:47] ---**
eat away at those who share the same destiny.
**[03:50] ---**
If you set foot upon it,
you may be consumed by madness.
**[03:55] ---**
Are you prepared for that, Lord Phantomhive?
**[04:00] ---**
I came here to dispel her worries.
**[04:04] ---**
Don't ask foolish questions.
**[04:07] ---**
Very nice, I like the look in your eye.
**[04:21] ---**
What brings you here?
**[04:23] ---**
This is no place for a child. Go on home.
**[04:27] ---**
Where is the victim's corpse?
**[04:29] ---**
Corpse?! What are you saying?!
**[04:31] ---**
Abberline!
**[04:33] ---**
What are you doing here, Lord Phantomhive?
**[04:37] ---**
You know him?
**[04:38] ---**
I came to clean up after the
slow-moving hounds working this case,
**[04:42] ---**
Sir Arthur Randall.
**[04:47] ---**
It looks as if you haven't got many clues.
**[04:50] ---**
We of Scotland Yard will solve this case.
**[04:54] ---**
We don't need your interference.
**[04:56] ---**
Excellent. Let's go, Sebastian.
**[04:59] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[05:04] ---**
What will you do?
**[05:07] ---**
The best thing would
probably be to visit *him*.
**[05:10] ---**
My lord! You don't mean...
**[05:12] ---**
Indeed I do.
**[05:16] ---**
So... where are we?
**[05:18] ---**
You just spoke as if you
knew all about it, didn't you?!
**[05:21] ---**
It's a funeral parlor run by an
acquaintance of the young master's.
**[05:25] ---**
"The Undertaker"?
**[05:28] ---**
Are you here, Undertaker?
**[05:34] ---**
I thought you'd drop by before long.
**[05:40] ---**
Welcome, my lord.
**[05:44] ---**
Is today the day you'll condescend
to enter one of my special coffins?
**[05:49] ---**
Certainly not. Today I--
**[05:52] ---**
You don't have to tell me. I know.
**[05:57] ---**
That wasn't the type of
customer fit for respectable people.
**[06:01] ---**
I'll have you know, I made her beautiful.
**[06:05] ---**
I want to hear about it.
**[06:07] ---**
Ah, I see, so the funeral
parlor is your cover business.
**[06:11] ---**
How much is the info?
**[06:14] ---**
I have no desire for any
of the Queen's coins!
**[06:21] ---**
Come on, my lord, give it to me!
**[06:27] ---**
Give me prime laughter!
**[06:31] ---**
Do that, and I'll tell you anything.
**[06:35] ---**
Freak.
**[06:38] ---**
Leave it to me.
**[06:40] ---**
Behold the genius of the
man that Shanghai called
**[06:43] ---**
the Sleeping Tiger of New Year's Parties!
**[06:48] ---**
"Every calendar's days are numbered!"
**[06:52] ---**
Huh?
**[06:53] ---**
If I must...
**[06:56] ---**
Madam Red, the belle of fashionable society,
**[06:59] ---**
will tell you her special story!
**[07:02] ---**
So, his [CENSORED] was
completely flaccid and [CENSORED],
**[07:06] ---**
but when I [CENSORED], the [CENSORED]
tip started bobbing like [CENSORED]--
**[07:11] ---**
Now, my lord, you're the only one left.
**[07:14] ---**
I gave you a special discount
last time, but I won't do it again.
**[07:19] ---**
Bloody hell...
**[07:20] ---**
I see there's no help for it.
**[07:23] ---**
Sebastian?
**[07:26] ---**
Everyone please wait outside.
**[07:29] ---**
You must not peek inside on any account.
**[07:34] ---**
"Silence"
**[07:45] ---**
Please come in. It appears
he will tell us everything.
**[07:51] ---**
Ahaha... I've seen my Utopia...
**[07:55] ---**
These days I often get
customers
**[07:59] ---**
who are *incomplete.*
**[08:03] ---**
Incomplete?
**[08:04] ---**
Yes, incomplete... the wombs are missing.
**[08:10] ---**
Though the killer makes
quite violent splatter,
**[08:13] ---**
the wombs themselves are neatly cut out.
**[08:16] ---**
It was done on a public road,
even if it was not a high-traffic one...
**[08:19] ---**
Wouldn't such an excision have
been difficult for an amateur,
**[08:22] ---**
particularly in the middle of the night?
**[08:25] ---**
You're a sharp one, butler.
That's my opinion as well.
**[08:33] ---**
First the Ripper slashes their
throats with a sharp hand weapon,
**[08:36] ---**
then cuts *this* part open...
**[08:39] ---**
and takes what's precious to them.
**[08:43] ---**
I'm sure there will be others killed.
**[08:45] ---**
People like that don't stop
until someone stops them.
**[08:53] ---**
Can you do it, o villainous
noble Lord Phantomhive?
**[08:58] ---**
On the honor of my family crest,
**[09:01] ---**
I eliminate anyone who defiles the
Queen's garden, without exception...
**[09:04] ---**
...and by any means necessary.
**[09:09] ---**
What he said narrows down
the field of suspects considerably.
**[09:12] ---**
First, those well versed
in medicine or dissection.
**[09:15] ---**
From among them,
**[09:16] ---**
those who have no alibis for the nights
before the murders' discoveries.
**[09:19] ---**
And given the removal of
internal organs, it seems ritualistic...
**[09:23] ---**
So we should also consider
**[09:24] ---**
those involved with secret
societies and black magic.
**[09:26] ---**
That doesn't "narrow the field" at all!
**[09:28] ---**
I'm a doctor; *I* could
have done the dissection!
**[09:30] ---**
And summer is ending. Before another
week passes the Season will be over,
**[09:35] ---**
and any doctors the noblemen brought
in from the country will go back ho--
**[09:37] ---**
Then we'll simply conclude
our investigation before then.
**[09:41] ---**
What?
**[09:42] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do that much isn't worth his salt.
**[09:48] ---**
I'll make a list of suspects
now and question all of them.
**[09:56] ---**
Now, if you'll excuse me...
**[09:59] ---**
This carriage is *moving*!
**[10:04] ---**
Sebastian said he'd do it.
We can just sip some tea and wait.
**[10:17] ---**
Welcome back. I've been
awaiting your arrival.
**[10:20] ---**
Your afternoon tea is ready.
**[10:24] ---**
How did you get here?!
**[10:26] ---**
I finished my errands, so
I came home ahead of you.
**[10:30] ---**
You already finished your suspect list?
**[10:32] ---**
No...
**[10:34] ---**
I merely created a list of names
based on the criteria we discussed,
**[10:36] ---**
contacted them all, and directly
collected their statements.
**[10:40] ---**
Come now, Sebastian, even for
you that would be impossible...
**[10:45] ---**
Richard Oswald, family
doctor of the Duke of Bailey.
**[10:47] ---**
Has an alibi: he spent the night
with his friends at the White Horse pub.
**[10:50] ---**
No connection to secret societies.
**[10:52] ---**
Madam Heavitt, surgeon at the
Royal London Central Hospital.
**[10:54] ---**
Has an alibi: she was
with a boy at the Stipple Inn.
**[10:55] ---**
No connection to secret societies.
**[10:56] ---**
William Somerset,
family doctor of the Earl Chambers.
**[10:57] ---**
Has an alibi: he was at a party
hosted by the Earl Harwood.
**[10:59] ---**
No connection to secret societies.
**[11:01] ---**
Through this investigation, I've
narrowed it down to one person
**[11:05] ---**
who meets the criteria.
**[11:07] ---**
Are you really just a butler?
**[11:10] ---**
Are you sure you're not a
military intelligence officer?
**[11:12] ---**
No, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[11:23] ---**
Aleister Chambers, the Viscount Druitt...
**[11:27] ---**
He graduated from medical school,
but has not gone into practice.
**[11:31] ---**
He's thrown several parties at his home.
**[11:34] ---**
However, people say he
simultaneously holds secret parties
**[11:38] ---**
that only his intimates may attend.
**[11:40] ---**
I've heard rumors that he's into
black magic and that sort of thing.
**[11:45] ---**
So you suspect that at
these underground parties,
**[11:48] ---**
they perform ceremonies
and sacrifice the prostitutes?
**[11:53] ---**
Tonight is the last party of the Season.
**[12:02] ---**
We only have one chance.
**[12:17] ---**
Ciel will play my niece
visiting from the country,
**[12:21] ---**
and Sebastian will play Ciel's tutor.
**[12:24] ---**
Why do I have to play your niece?!
**[12:26] ---**
I always wanted a girl.
**[12:29] ---**
*That's* your reason?
**[12:31] ---**
You can't let them find out
you're a Phantomhive, can you?
**[12:33] ---**
What's more, I'm told Lord Druitt
is a ladies' man of catholic tastes,
**[12:38] ---**
so this is to your advantage!
**[12:40] ---**
Didn't you say you'd use any means necessary?
**[12:47] ---**
First we must find the viscount.
**[12:49] ---**
I never want Elizabeth to
see me in an outfit like this...
**[12:53] ---**
Oh, that dress is so cute!
**[12:58] ---**
There are so many lovely
dresses here! How cute!
**[13:01] ---**
S-S-Sebas...
**[13:04] ---**
Young mas-- er, mistress, please calm down.
**[13:07] ---**
We'll take this opportunity to...
**[13:08] ---**
--Oh, my!
**[13:08] ---**
--Gulp!
**[13:09] ---**
That girl's dress is absolutely adorable!
**[13:12] ---**
Let's go over there.
**[13:16] ---**
Hmm?
**[13:21] ---**
This is no good. I had no idea
Lady Elizabeth would be here...
**[13:25] ---**
If people found out the family
head was dressed like this...
**[13:28] ---**
The shame would stain the
Phantomhives for generations.
**[13:32] ---**
Let's just join Madam Red and the others.
**[13:36] ---**
No need to stand on ceremony with me.
**[13:38] ---**
*She's having a grand old time...*
**[13:42] ---**
There she is!
**[13:45] ---**
This way, Miss.
**[13:49] ---**
You there. Serve that lady some lemonade.
**[13:52] ---**
Very good, Sir.
**[13:54] ---**
Would you like some lemonade?
**[13:59] ---**
Why do these things
always happen to *me*?
**[14:02] ---**
Lord Druitt is as gorgeous as ever tonight.
**[14:05] ---**
His hair is like spun gold!
**[14:10] ---**
That's the Viscount Druitt?
**[14:13] ---**
Let's go.
**[14:14] ---**
All right.
**[14:21] ---**
Oh, hell... I can't get near him like this.
**[14:24] ---**
We have no choice but to use
the dance to get close to him.
**[14:30] ---**
You're telling me to dance in public?!
**[14:32] ---**
With you?!
**[14:35] ---**
Right now I'm merely one hell of a tutor.
**[14:38] ---**
Tonight, I may publicly dance
with you in all propriety, Miss.
**[14:43] ---**
Y-You're right...
**[14:46] ---**
Let's go, Miss.
**[14:57] ---**
We'll cut through the crowd just like this.
**[15:06] ---**
I'm ashamed of you, becoming
exhausted so easily.
**[15:12] ---**
You danced like a lovely little robin, Miss.
**[15:18] ---**
Miss, I'll go get you something to drink.
**[15:23] ---**
G-Good evening, Lord Druitt.
**[15:26] ---**
Are you having fun...
**[15:29] ---**
...my dear little robin?
**[15:31] ---**
It's a wonderful party.
I'm so very impressed.
**[15:35] ---**
But I've been wanting
to talk to you, my lord.
**[15:40] ---**
Oh?
**[15:41] ---**
I'm sick to death of dancing and eating.
**[15:45] ---**
What a pampered princess
you are, little robin.
**[15:48] ---**
So you want something more amusing to do?
**[15:51] ---**
"Shudder"
**[15:53] ---**
*Endure it... Endure it, Ciel...*
**[15:56] ---**
*This is the whole reason*
**[15:58] ---**
"Fitting"
**[15:58] ---**
*that you let them do all
those terrible things to you!*
**[15:59] ---**
"Walking"
**[16:00] ---**
"Lessons in Manners"
**[16:03] ---**
Do you know of something
more amusing, my lord?
**[16:06] ---**
But of course. And I'm willing
to tell you, my darling little robin.
**[16:12] ---**
*The moment this is all over,
I'm going to kill this guy!*
**[16:17] ---**
What is it?
**[16:18] ---**
*I have to draw him out
somehow before the dance is over.*
**[16:23] ---**
*What? She's looking this way!*
**[16:26] ---**
Do you want to know?
**[16:27] ---**
I'm very interested.
**[16:29] ---**
*If Elizabeth comes this way,
everything goes down the drain.*
**[16:31] ---**
You might be a bit young for it.
**[16:34] ---**
*Hurry..*.
**[16:35] ---**
I'm a lady, not a child.
**[16:38] ---**
*Hurry!*
**[16:42] ---**
*The dance is over!*
**[16:45] ---**
*She's coming!*
**[16:47] ---**
What has you so distracted?
**[16:50] ---**
E-Er...
**[16:52] ---**
*My life is over!*
**[17:03] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen, I will
now perform a magic show for you.
**[17:10] ---**
Could I ask for your cooperation, Sir?
**[17:12] ---**
Me? Of course.
**[17:15] ---**
I don't recall ordering any parlor tricks...
**[17:18] ---**
*Now's my chance!*
**[17:19] ---**
I'm sick of parlor tricks,
too, my lord. Pretty please?
**[17:24] ---**
*Ugh, gag me!*
**[17:26] ---**
All right, my little robin.
**[17:31] ---**
Come in here.
**[17:38] ---**
After I go inside this chest,
you bind it tightly with chains.
**[17:43] ---**
Then, run it through with the sword.
**[17:49] ---**
I shall come out of it perfectly unharmed.
**[17:51] ---**
There are no tricks or gimmicks to it.
**[17:53] ---**
Feast your eyes on this wondrous magic.
**[18:00] ---**
All right, don't mind if I do.
**[18:18] ---**
Amazing! It's a miracle!
**[18:20] ---**
Bravo!
**[18:21] ---**
That was amazing, Sebastian!
**[18:23] ---**
Indeed! I was rather
afraid I might have killed you.
**[18:27] ---**
Yes, it did hurt a bit.
**[18:29] ---**
I didn't expect you to go right for my head.
**[18:32] ---**
Anyone else would have been dead.
**[18:34] ---**
So, what was the trick to it?
**[18:36] ---**
You stabbed him that many
times without knowing?!
**[18:41] ---**
I told you: there were no tricks or gimmicks.
**[18:47] ---**
We're going to a very
nice place-- quite amusing.
**[18:54] ---**
*What is this sickly sweet smell?*
**[18:59] ---**
*Bloody hell...*
**[19:06] ---**
Yes, it's a very nice place, little robin.
**[19:18] ---**
S-Sebastian!
**[19:20] ---**
Please endure a little longer.
You'll quickly get used to it.
**[19:28] ---**
I told you, I'm gonna leak!
**[19:30] ---**
No corset has ever made a
woman's internal organs leak out.
**[19:36] ---**
*A dream?*
**[19:38] ---**
And now, what you've all been
waiting for: tonight's crown jewel.
**[19:47] ---**
You may enjoy her as a
decoration, or make a pet of her.
**[19:49] ---**
I imagine she'd even make an
attractive part of a ceremony.
**[19:53] ---**
Or if you want to sell her parts
individually, that's up to you.
**[19:56] ---**
Her eyes bear the contrasting
colors of a deep forest
**[19:59] ---**
and the sea reflecting a beautiful sky.
**[20:01] ---**
*A black market auction?*
**[20:03] ---**
I shall show you now.
**[20:05] ---**
*So he sold the organs of
the prostitutes he killed here?*
**[20:11] ---**
We'll start from a thousand guineas.
**[20:13] ---**
2000!
**[20:14] ---**
3000!
**[20:15] ---**
3500!
**[20:17] ---**
5000!
**[20:18] ---**
Here I am, Sebastian.
**[20:24] ---**
What's that?!
**[20:34] ---**
Good grief.
**[20:36] ---**
You're truly good for nothing
but getting yourself captured.
**[20:40] ---**
As long as I have the contract,
**[20:42] ---**
you'll follow me anywhere,
with or without my summons.
**[20:46] ---**
A "contract" is a mark demons
place on their prey to keep track of it.
**[20:51] ---**
The more noticeable a place you
put it in, the more executable it is.
**[20:56] ---**
In exchange...
**[20:59] ---**
...the prey can never escape the demon.
**[21:05] ---**
Yes, I shall accompany you
anywhere, right up until the end.
**[21:10] ---**
I shall never leave your side,
even if I should perish.
**[21:16] ---**
I shall go with you even
to the far reaches of Hell.
**[21:19] ---**
I do not lie...
**[21:22] ---**
...unlike humans.
**[21:25] ---**
Good.
**[21:27] ---**
Never lie to me, whatever
anyone else may do. Never.
**[21:30] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[21:34] ---**
This solves the Jack the Ripper case.
**[21:39] ---**
It was unexpectedly easy...
**[21:44] ---**
I imagine Scotland Yard
will be here before long.
**[21:47] ---**
We shouldn't stay here.
**[21:51] ---**
Well, shall we go?
**[22:07] ---**
I thought I saw someone just now...
**[22:11] ---**
Maybe it was my imagination?
**[22:17] ---**
"Jack the Ripper Strikes Again"?
**[22:20] ---**
So that means the viscount wasn't our man?
**[24:04] ---**
*At last, we've almost reached
checkmate in the serial prostitute murders.*
**[24:09] ---**
*Who is Jack the Ripper,
and what is Jack's goal?*
**[24:14] ---**
*I imagine it'll be a rather bitter turn
of events for my na*ï*ve young master.*
**[24:19] ---**
*When we've tidied everything up,
I'll make him some sweet hot milk.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Chance Encounter."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Chance Encounter"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:31] ---**
This is no time to be playing chess.
**[00:36] ---**
Working obsessively at
it will lead to no good.
**[00:40] ---**
Why not leave everything to Sebastian?
**[00:42] ---**
He's just my chess piece.
**[00:44] ---**
I'm the one who moves him
by giving him orders.
**[00:47] ---**
But he's not an ordinary chess piece.
**[00:50] ---**
He can advance as many squares
as he likes at once...
**[00:53] ---**
Like this.
**[00:56] ---**
That's against the rules!
**[00:58] ---**
Yes, if this were a game, it would be.
**[01:01] ---**
But rules have no meaning in this world.
**[01:05] ---**
There are always knights who
break the rules, and pawns who betray.
**[01:10] ---**
If you let your guard down,
before you know it...
**[01:12] ---**
it's checkmate.
**[01:31] ---**
Damn.
**[01:48] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[01:54] ---**
*There is no color to our meeting;
it blows through in monochrome*
**[02:01] ---**
*I go where your cool fingers beckon me*
**[02:06] ---**
*I am like troublesome ice after the melt*
**[02:13] ---**
*You gently scoop me up to your
mouth and play with my upper lip*
**[02:21] ---**
*Still, I search for a form of love*
**[02:27] ---**
*The dry eyes that shape the
present rather than a distant time*
**[02:33] ---**
*Want to end like this, cloaked*
**[02:39] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[02:46] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[02:53] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[02:56] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[03:11] ---**
"His Butler, Chance Encounter"
**[03:17] ---**
You must've had other choices in life
**[03:20] ---**
besides being the underworld's guard dog.
**[03:22] ---**
My sister... Your mother must have
wanted something else for you, too.
**[03:27] ---**
And yet you returned to the underworld...
**[03:32] ---**
Is it because you're trying to
avenge your parents' murders?
**[03:38] ---**
Revenge won't bring the dead back,
**[03:40] ---**
and it certainly won't make them happy.
**[03:44] ---**
But...
**[03:45] ---**
I didn't come back to the house of
Phantomhive for my predecessors' sakes.
**[03:53] ---**
I did it for me.
**[03:57] ---**
I just want to make the people
who betrayed and defiled my family
**[04:00] ---**
suffer the same humiliation
and pain that I suffered.
**[04:06] ---**
I still remember the day you were born.
**[04:10] ---**
You were so tiny and so cute,
I thought, "I have to protect him."
**[04:17] ---**
I wasn't able to have a child,
**[04:20] ---**
but I think of you as my own son.
**[04:25] ---**
I wish you'd leave the under--
**[04:27] ---**
Being here now is something I
wanted, and something I chose.
**[04:33] ---**
I don't regret it, and I
can't let anyone spoil me.
**[04:41] ---**
You don't have to escort me, Sebastian.
**[04:43] ---**
But my lady...
**[04:46] ---**
Please don't leave that boy's side.
**[04:50] ---**
Make sure he doesn't stray
from the path and get lost.
**[04:55] ---**
Fear not. I shall stay by his
side and protect him to the end.
**[05:03] ---**
I've come for you, my lady.
**[05:15] ---**
Well?
**[05:17] ---**
No matter how many times I
examine it, the result is the same.
**[05:20] ---**
The viscount had nothing to
do with yesterday's murder.
**[05:23] ---**
Indeed. None of the humans
inside his mansion could have done it.
**[05:28] ---**
Quite... None of the humans there...
**[05:32] ---**
Anyway, tomorrow we'll...
**[05:36] ---**
Sebastian!
**[05:37] ---**
Don't tell me you...?
**[05:39] ---**
I've told you over and over: I do not lie.
**[05:44] ---**
Involved in medicine, ties to
secret societies or black magic,
**[05:49] ---**
and no alibi for the nights
before the bodies were found:
**[05:53] ---**
The only human that fits those
criteria is the Viscount Druitt.
**[05:58] ---**
Was your investigation just a farce, then?!
**[06:00] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[06:03] ---**
I simply faithfully carry out my
master's orders and instructions.
**[06:11] ---**
With one order from you, I can
become your pawn or your sword.
**[06:16] ---**
Now, put the villain in check, Master.
**[06:28] ---**
He'll show up if we
stake out this place, right?
**[06:30] ---**
Yes.
**[06:31] ---**
It's true that the murdered
prostitutes had other things in common
**[06:35] ---**
besides having their organs removed.
**[06:38] ---**
Beautiful, glossy black hair.
**[06:40] ---**
But why should he have to kill them?
**[06:44] ---**
Sinfully lovable.
**[06:46] ---**
And I--
**[06:48] ---**
So soft... Yes, so soft...
**[06:51] ---**
--So soft...
**[06:52] ---**
--Listen when I'm talking to you!
**[06:54] ---**
I apologize. She's a rare beauty.
**[06:57] ---**
So soft...
**[07:01] ---**
No one could have gotten past us...
**[07:03] ---**
Let's go.
**[07:18] ---**
No!
**[07:33] ---**
That's quite a mess you made,
Jack the Ripper...
**[07:40] ---**
...or should I say, Grell Sutcliff?
**[07:43] ---**
Y-You have it all wrong!
**[07:46] ---**
I heard the scream and ran
over here, but she was already...
**[07:50] ---**
I think you can stop playing
innocent in that body, Grell.
**[07:55] ---**
This is the first time I've met
someone like you in the human world.
**[07:59] ---**
You performed the role of
**[08:03] ---**
"harmless incompetent butler" quite adeptly.
**[08:08] ---**
Adeptly?
**[08:13] ---**
Do you think so?
**[08:16] ---**
That's right.
**[08:18] ---**
I'm an *actress*, honey.
**[08:21] ---**
And I'm absolutely first-rate.
**[08:25] ---**
But you're not "Sebastian" either, are you?
**[08:30] ---**
That's the name I received from
my young master, so yes, I am...
**[08:34] ---**
...at the moment.
**[08:35] ---**
My, so you're a "faithful dog" character.
**[08:38] ---**
Though for a fine-looking man
like you, that's fabulous too.
**[08:40] ---**
Well then, Sebastian...
**[08:43] ---**
No, Sebas-*chan*...
let me re-introduce myself.
**[08:46] ---**
I am Grell Sutcliff, butler to the Burnetts.
**[08:50] ---**
I'm sure we two butlers
can get along marvelously.
**[08:54] ---**
Ah, I finally get to meet
you in my true form!
**[08:58] ---**
I'd never seen a demon
playing a butler before,
**[09:01] ---**
so I was so surprised when I first saw you!
**[09:03] ---**
That's my line.
**[09:05] ---**
I never imagined someone
like you would play a butler.
**[09:08] ---**
Someone who stands
neutral between man and God...
**[09:13] ---**
...a grim reaper.
**[09:16] ---**
Why would a divine being such
as yourself bother to play a butler?
**[09:19] ---**
Good question. Perhaps I should
say I fell in love with a certain woman.
**[09:25] ---**
And that woman would be?
**[09:27] ---**
You don't need to ask, do you?
**[09:40] ---**
Madam...
**[09:42] ---**
I didn't calculate on anyone
being able to see Grell for what he is.
**[09:48] ---**
Naturally you were on the
initial suspect list.
**[09:51] ---**
But your alibi was perfect.
**[09:55] ---**
You suspected even your own aunt?
**[09:57] ---**
If you had the potential to be Jack,
any blood relation was irrelevant.
**[10:02] ---**
None of the humans on the suspect list
could have committed all the murders.
**[10:07] ---**
But if one had an *inhuman* accomplice,
that would change everything.
**[10:12] ---**
If he could enter the room in
an instant without our noticing,
**[10:17] ---**
he could also instantaneously get
from the viscount's to the East End.
**[10:22] ---**
You two are the only ones
who could be Jack the Ripper...
**[10:25] ---**
...Madam Red and Grell Sutcliff.
**[10:30] ---**
Jack the Ripper's victims
had other things in common.
**[10:34] ---**
They all underwent a certain
surgery at London Central Hospital,
**[10:38] ---**
where you work.
**[10:40] ---**
The only patient on the list
who hadn't yet been killed
**[10:44] ---**
was Mary Kelly, who lived in that flat.
**[10:47] ---**
I thought you'd show up here
if I kept an eye on the place.
**[10:53] ---**
I couldn't save her, though...
**[10:56] ---**
This is unfortunate, my
beloved nephew Ciel...
**[11:00] ---**
If you hadn't figured it out,
we could have played chess together again.
**[11:05] ---**
But...
**[11:07] ---**
I won't give anything up this time!
**[11:17] ---**
Wh-What is that thing?!
**[11:21] ---**
Grim reapers possess
tools for harvesting souls.
**[11:24] ---**
That is a reaper's sickle.
**[11:26] ---**
"Sickle" is such a dull
name; don't call it that!
**[11:29] ---**
Not after I've customized it
to my personal specifications!
**[11:32] ---**
This is a "death scythe" only I can wield,
**[11:34] ---**
and it can hack any being to pieces!
**[11:38] ---**
I've behaved myself so well
lately, I'm out of shape now!
**[11:42] ---**
I want to get some real
exercise for a change...
**[11:44] ---**
...with *you*.
**[11:47] ---**
Could I ask you not to say such
repugnant things? I am on duty.
**[11:51] ---**
How stoic you are! Yet another
thing that makes you irresistible!
**[11:57] ---**
You see, I love the color red.
**[12:00] ---**
Red is my favorite color for
hair, and clothes, and lipstick.
**[12:04] ---**
So I paint those ugly women
with pretty, pretty red blood.
**[12:10] ---**
Sebas-*chan*, I'll make you even
finer-looking than you already are.
**[12:14] ---**
I'm really going to tear you up inside...
**[12:19] ---**
And make you red like
beautifully-scattered rose petals.
**[12:21] ---**
A grim reaper quietly
harvests the souls of the dying.
**[12:26] ---**
A butler subserviently
follows his master like a shadow.
**[12:31] ---**
Your vulgarity violates
the aesthetics of both,
**[12:34] ---**
and quite frankly, I find it sickening.
**[12:38] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan*, you wound me.
**[12:40] ---**
I'm a more *deadly* efficient
butler than I look!☆
**[12:48] ---**
In my own black name and
that of the Queen, I order you:
**[12:53] ---**
put an end to them!
**[12:55] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:12] ---**
Ah, yes! Run more!
**[13:14] ---**
We'll play tag, Sebas-*chan*!
**[13:32] ---**
Now, now, if you don't
escape fast you'll get cut.
**[13:37] ---**
It's so much more stimulating
when it hurts a little, isn't it?
**[13:41] ---**
We've now become a guard dog and his prey.
**[13:46] ---**
If it's hunt or be hunted...
**[13:49] ---**
There's only one choice!
**[13:55] ---**
You're a doctor! Why do this?!
**[13:57] ---**
A kid like you would never
understand even if I told him!
**[14:05] ---**
You...
**[14:08] ---**
You...
**[14:12] ---**
You should never have been born!
**[14:20] ---**
Sister...
**[14:22] ---**
Young master!
**[14:25] ---**
Stop, Sebastian!
**[14:27] ---**
Don't kill her!
**[14:39] ---**
Sebastian...
**[14:42] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan*, you've got backbone.
**[14:46] ---**
To think you'd sacrifice
an arm to go save that kid...
**[14:50] ---**
But how poorly *you* compare, Madam!
**[14:54] ---**
Hurry up and kill the brat!
**[15:07] ---**
I loved my sister...
**[15:09] ---**
I loved him...
**[15:12] ---**
I loved their...
**[15:17] ---**
I can't.
**[15:20] ---**
I can't do it after all. I can't kill him.
**[15:24] ---**
You're saying that *now*?
You've sliced so many women to bits!
**[15:29] ---**
If you don't erase him, he'll erase you!
**[15:32] ---**
Madam...
**[15:33] ---**
But...
**[15:35] ---**
But...
**[15:37] ---**
This boy is my--
**[15:42] ---**
I'm disappointed in you, Madam Red!
**[15:46] ---**
I have no interest in you if
you're just another woman!
**[15:57] ---**
This is...
**[15:58] ---**
Our job as grim reapers is to
replay and examine the memories
**[16:01] ---**
of those on the To-Die list
distributed by the Powers that Be.
**[16:04] ---**
We determine what kind of person
they were, what kind of life they lived,
**[16:10] ---**
whether they should be
killed or left alive...
**[16:14] ---**
In other words, you make
their life flash before their eyes.
**[16:16] ---**
Ugh, don't call it something so dull!
**[16:17] ---**
This is the grim reaper's
true ability: dramatic pain.
**[16:22] ---**
This is the Cinematic Record!
**[16:29] ---**
Rachel, Angelina, come
greet Lord Phantomhive.
**[16:37] ---**
*I hated the red hair I
inherited from my father.*
**[16:40] ---**
Your red hair is very beautiful, An.
**[16:44] ---**
The color of spider lilies
blazing in the fields...
**[16:46] ---**
Red suits you well.
**[16:49] ---**
*I came to love my red hair.*
**[16:52] ---**
*I came to love the color red.*
**[16:55] ---**
*I came to love you.*
**[16:57] ---**
An, I have wonderful news!
**[17:02] ---**
*You...*
**[17:05] ---**
*I hated red again.*
**[17:08] ---**
*But... I couldn't bring myself to hate you.*
**[17:15] ---**
*I married a man I met at a soirée.*
**[17:19] ---**
I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?!
**[17:22] ---**
Men are so impatient.
There's no way to tell that yet.
**[17:27] ---**
*It all came in a different
form from what I'd truly wanted,*
**[17:31] ---**
*but still, this time I would...*
**[17:36] ---**
That runaway carriage just
hit someone! Call a doctor!
**[17:40] ---**
*It's slipping away...*
**[17:44] ---**
Your husband died instantaneously.
**[17:46] ---**
And to save your life,
**[17:49] ---**
we were forced to remove your uterus,
along with the child inside.
**[17:54] ---**
--When an internal organ ruptures like that--
**[17:55] ---**
--*Everything is slipping away from me...*
**[18:01] ---**
*The people I love...*
**[18:04] ---**
*The people I surely would
have been able to love...*
**[18:10] ---**
*The stain spreads...*
**[18:13] ---**
*The stain spreads over everything...*
**[18:15] ---**
*dying it that hated color red.*
**[18:23] ---**
*My sister was able to die
with the one she loved.*
**[18:27] ---**
*I wish my feelings had been
buried in the ground along with her.*
**[18:36] ---**
A kid would only get in the way.
**[18:39] ---**
I don't know who the father is,
**[18:41] ---**
and I can't take customers with a kid in tow.
**[18:44] ---**
*I lost everything.*
**[18:48] ---**
*That woman had what I wanted...
what I can never have again...*
**[18:55] ---**
*And she threw it all away
without a second thought.*
**[18:59] ---**
*I'll stain her...*
**[19:03] ---**
Oh, you're that woman from--
**[19:06] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[19:08] ---**
St-Stop!
**[19:11] ---**
*I'll stain everything red with my own hands.*
**[19:18] ---**
Goodness me, you really went to town on her.
**[19:26] ---**
*A blood-red grim reaper smiled at me.*
**[19:31] ---**
*A few months later, my missing
nephew suddenly came back.*
**[19:36] ---**
Ciel!
**[19:38] ---**
*Bringing with him a butler all in black...*
**[19:43] ---**
So you're safe.
**[19:46] ---**
*I got just one thing back.*
**[19:48] ---**
Thank goodness you're safe, at least...
**[19:53] ---**
Let me get a good look at your face.
**[19:55] ---**
*The son of the man I adored
and my elder sister*.
**[20:02] ---**
*This boy came back, so why not him.*
**[20:07] ---**
*Why wasn't I the one to marry him?*
**[20:11] ---**
*This time I won't let anything
be taken from me.*
**[20:13] ---**
*I won't give anything up.*
**[20:15] ---**
I won't give anything up!
**[20:31] ---**
I loved you when you were dyed
crimson with your victims' blood,
**[20:35] ---**
Madam Red.
**[20:39] ---**
I'm disappointed you turned
out to be such a trite woman!
**[20:43] ---**
You don't have what it takes to wear red.
**[20:46] ---**
Your cheap little melodrama ends now.
**[20:50] ---**
Farewell, Madam.
**[21:02] ---**
What are you doing, Sebastian?
**[21:06] ---**
I told you to put an end to Jack the Ripper.
**[21:09] ---**
It's not over yet.
**[21:13] ---**
Don't dawdle. Hurry up
and kill the other one!
**[21:18] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[21:21] ---**
I was going to be nice and
let you go, but if you insist,
**[21:27] ---**
I'll send you both to heaven!
**[21:31] ---**
Heaven?
**[21:36] ---**
Heaven and I are strangers.
**[21:44] ---**
You just went after a lady's face!
You're a *fiend*!
**[21:48] ---**
Of course. You see, I am
merely one hell of a butler.
**[21:53] ---**
Do you think a demon can beat a divine being?
**[21:56] ---**
An interesting question.
**[21:58] ---**
However, if my young master
tells me to win, I shall win.
**[22:02] ---**
You're quite keen on that
puny little brat. I'm jealous.
**[22:08] ---**
Even demons cease to exist if I
reap them with my death scythe.
**[22:12] ---**
Aren't you afraid?
**[22:14] ---**
Not in the least.
**[22:16] ---**
I belong to my master body and soul,
**[22:20] ---**
even down to the last hair on my head.
**[22:23] ---**
As long as the contract is
in effect, I follow his orders.
**[22:28] ---**
That's the butler aesthetic, you see.
**[24:04] ---**
*The red spider lilies blazing in the fields*
**[24:07] ---**
*eventually turn brown, wither, and die.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Yes, everything follows
the deadly laws of nature.☆*
**[24:16] ---**
*Please excuse me.*
**[24:18] ---**
*I do not wish to be any
further infected by his vulgarity.*
**[24:21] ---**
*I will have to get deadly on him right away.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, At the Funeral."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, At the Funeral"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:07] ---**
Here's what Scotland Yard and
the press are calling the criminal:
**[00:12] ---**
"Jack the Ripper."
**[00:15] ---**
Incomplete?
**[00:16] ---**
Yes, incomplete... the wombs are missing.
**[00:21] ---**
Indeed. None of the humans
inside his mansion could have done it.
**[00:25] ---**
Sebastian!
**[00:27] ---**
Don't tell me you...?
**[00:28] ---**
You two are the only ones
who could be Jack the Ripper...
**[00:32] ---**
...Madam Red and Grell Sutcliff.
**[00:35] ---**
You...
**[00:38] ---**
You should never have been born!
**[00:47] ---**
I can't do it after all. I can't kill him.
**[00:52] ---**
I'm disappointed in you, Madam Red!
**[00:55] ---**
I have no interest in you if
you're just another woman!
**[01:25] ---**
A demon and a grim reaper.
**[01:30] ---**
I suppose a meeting of
the minds is impossible?
**[01:33] ---**
Our feelings for each other are forbidden...
**[01:35] ---**
It's just like the
tragedy of Romeo and Juliet!
**[01:42] ---**
O Sebas-*chan*, Sebas-*chan*!
Wherefore art thou Sebas-*chan*?
**[01:51] ---**
If you'd refuse that appalling
name your master gave you
**[01:54] ---**
and focus on me alone...
**[01:58] ---**
From the moment my master
called me "Sebastian,"
**[02:02] ---**
that word became my new baptism and contract.
**[02:06] ---**
I've been Sebastian since that day.
**[02:10] ---**
By yonder moon I swear it.
**[02:12] ---**
What an insincere man you are,
to swear by the inconstant moon.
**[02:17] ---**
Your eyes are impure eyes which love no one.
**[02:21] ---**
You are a devil who profanes innocent
souls with your unworthy hands and lips.
**[02:25] ---**
Oh, it's so good! You thrill me, Sebastian!
**[02:29] ---**
I feel as if I could bear your children!
**[02:31] ---**
Please stop. That's repellant.
**[02:34] ---**
Oh, you're so cold.
**[02:39] ---**
Beautiful tyrant!
**[02:42] ---**
Fiend angelical!
**[02:44] ---**
Dove-feather'd raven!
**[02:47] ---**
Sebas-*chan*!
**[02:51] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan.*..
**[02:53] ---**
Would that
morning should never come!
**[02:56] ---**
Then the two of us could
live in love like this forever.
**[03:02] ---**
But our amorous adventure ends now.
**[03:07] ---**
We part with a passionate kiss!
**[03:10] ---**
A thousand times, a million times good night!
**[03:19] ---**
Now, show me a drastic and dramatic Record!
**[03:42] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[03:48] ---**
*Deai ni iro wa nakute monokuro fukinukeru*
**[03:55] ---**

"His Butler, At the Funeral"
**[05:12] ---**
W-Wait... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
**[05:16] ---**
Who *are* these people?!
**[05:22] ---**
That's been my everyday life
for the past year, after all.
**[05:26] ---**
I'm not interested in a
domestic Record like this!
**[05:30] ---**
Come on, show me the good parts!
**[05:33] ---**
I'm afraid I charge admission
to view the rest.
**[05:36] ---**
Skinflint!
**[05:42] ---**
Oh, no, my clothes are ruined again.
**[05:47] ---**
This is past mending.
**[05:49] ---**
You're pretty confident, worrying
about your clothes at a time like this.
**[05:52] ---**
But I like a man who's careful
about his appearance, Sebas-*chan*.
**[06:00] ---**
This is the one technique
I didn't want to use...
**[06:05] ---**
...but there's no help for it.
**[06:07] ---**
So you're finally going to
get serious with me, then?
**[06:11] ---**
Shall we close the curtain
on this with the next blow?
**[06:14] ---**
Say your farewells to this world.
**[06:16] ---**
Let's be joined in the hereafter, Sebas-*chan*!
**[06:38] ---**
What?!
**[06:40] ---**
That tailcoat is made of
high-quality Yorkshire wool.
**[06:44] ---**
Wool has one of the highest
frictional forces of all cloths.
**[06:48] ---**
Once it gets enmeshed in something,
it's very difficult to remove.
**[06:50] ---**
WTF?!
**[06:54] ---**
That coat was supplied to me by
the estate, and I didn't want to use it...
**[06:59] ---**
But you had ruined it already, after all.
**[07:05] ---**
Now, in a normal fistfight,
**[07:09] ---**
I feel a certain amount of confidence.
**[07:11] ---**
W-Wait! Please! Not the face!
**[07:24] ---**
Not the face!
**[07:30] ---**
Please stop!
**[07:40] ---**
Please excuse me. I misjudged the distance.
**[07:44] ---**
You look awful.
**[07:46] ---**
I had a bit of trouble with him.
**[07:49] ---**
I'll get you for this...
**[07:52] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[07:53] ---**
I suppose one can't kill
a grim reaper with bare fists.
**[07:58] ---**
But what about with this?
**[08:01] ---**
The grim reaper's sickle,
which can cut anything...
**[08:04] ---**
Shouldn't it be able to cut even you?
**[08:08] ---**
Wh-What are you thinking?!
**[08:10] ---**
N-N-No--
**[08:12] ---**
I don't enjoy being kicked,
**[08:15] ---**
but doing the kicking feels rather nice.
**[08:17] ---**
--That hurts! Sebas-*chan*, it hurts, it hurts!
**[08:19] ---**
--Young master, hideous though
he may be, he is still a divine being.
**[08:23] ---**
Are you prepared to shoulder
the heavy crime of killing the divine?
**[08:27] ---**
Are you trying to make me repeat my order?
**[08:31] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[08:34] ---**
You scream very nicely.
**[08:37] ---**
As a reward...
**[08:40] ---**
I'll kill you with your favorite toy!
**[08:43] ---**
Please, stop!
**[08:46] ---**
No.
**[08:47] ---**
Don't you want to know
who killed his parents?
**[09:00] ---**
I apologize for interrupting
your conversation.
**[09:05] ---**
I am William T. Spears,
**[09:08] ---**
an administrator at the Grim
Reaper Staffing Association.
**[09:13] ---**
I came to take charge of that reaper there.
**[09:15] ---**
Will! William!
**[09:19] ---**
So you came to save me!
**[09:23] ---**
Temp worker Grell Sutcliff,
you have violated regulations.
**[09:28] ---**
Firstly, you killed people
not on the To-Die list.
**[09:31] ---**
Secondly, you used a death scythe for
which a permission form was not filed.
**[09:35] ---**
And finally, you attempted
to leak information
**[09:38] ---**
about the cause of death
and identity of the murderer.
**[09:45] ---**
I am sorry for all the trouble
this wretch has caused.
**[09:45] ---**
"This Wretch"
**[09:48] ---**
Oh, here's my card.
**[09:52] ---**
Really, I never thought I'd see the day
**[09:56] ---**
when I'd have to bow my head
to a noxious beast like you...
**[09:58] ---**
This is a disgrace to the
profession of grim reaper.
**[10:01] ---**
Then please keep close watch over your staff
**[10:05] ---**
so that they don't cause
trouble for us noxious beasts.
**[10:07] ---**
Humans are very susceptible to temptation.
**[10:10] ---**
When they are placed in
the hellish bowels of despair,
**[10:14] ---**
if a spider's thread appears
before them that could get them out,
**[10:18] ---**
they will cling to it without fail.
**[10:21] ---**
Any human will.
**[10:22] ---**
Aren't you demons the ones
who take advantage of that
**[10:25] ---**
to deceive humans and prey upon them?
**[10:29] ---**
I won't deny it.
**[10:31] ---**
Though you seem to be a
tame dog with a collar;
**[10:33] ---**
that at least makes you a lesser
evil than the unprincipled, rabid dogs.
**[10:37] ---**
Come, Grell Sutcliff, we're leaving.
**[10:40] ---**
Honestly... We're already shorthanded,
and now we won't be able
**[10:43] ---**
to finish during regular hours today, either.
**[10:45] ---**
The Board is going to scold us again,
and we'll have to work more overtime.
**[10:56] ---**
You forgot that.
**[10:57] ---**
Thank you.
**[11:03] ---**
Now, please excuse me.
**[11:14] ---**
I apologize. I allowed half
of Jack the Ripper to escape.
**[11:21] ---**
It doesn't matter anymore...
**[11:27] ---**
You're chilled to the bone.
Let's hurry back to the townhouse.
**[11:31] ---**
I'll make you some hot milk.
**[11:34] ---**
Good idea.
**[11:38] ---**
Young master!
**[11:43] ---**
--Young master...?
**[11:44] ---**
--Never mind.
**[11:45] ---**
I'm fine. I can stand up by myself.
**[11:50] ---**
It's just... I'm a little tired, that's all.
**[12:10] ---**
Big brother!
**[12:14] ---**
Lots of people here today, huh big brother?
**[12:17] ---**
Why?
**[12:18] ---**
Dunno.
**[12:20] ---**
You're older! You don't *know*?
**[12:22] ---**
Are you dumb?
**[12:24] ---**
I'm only twelve! I don't have to know!
**[12:27] ---**
Indeed.
**[12:30] ---**
It's only natural a normal
12-year-old wouldn't know.
**[12:34] ---**
Today is a certain noblewoman's big day.
**[12:39] ---**
Big day?
**[12:41] ---**
Yes-- a person's final,
biggest ceremony in life.
**[12:45] ---**
The funeral.
**[12:47] ---**
"Except a corn of wheat fall into
the ground and die, it abideth alone:
**[12:52] ---**
but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
**[12:54] ---**
So that we do not close
off our distant future,
**[12:57] ---**
--all living things must open death's door.
**[12:59] ---**
--Aunt An...
**[13:02] ---**
This lady has opened death's door and...
**[13:12] ---**
Ciel?
**[13:17] ---**
*That's... the Phantomhive boy?*
**[13:19] ---**
*A scarlet dress?*
**[13:21] ---**
*How improper!*
**[13:23] ---**
*But Madam loved the color red.*
**[13:41] ---**
White flowers and plain
dresses don't suit you.
**[13:46] ---**
What suits you is a passionate red.
**[13:50] ---**
The color of spider lilies
blazing in the fields...
**[13:54] ---**
Aunt An.

**[15:19] ---**
The funeral must be going on right now, yes.
**[15:21] ---**
So Madam won't be coming to
visit anymore... it'll be lonely.
**[15:27] ---**
What's with the long faces?!
**[15:29] ---**
This is exactly the kind of time when
we need to support the young lord!
**[15:33] ---**
Right!
**[15:38] ---**
So you've gone to be with
your loved ones,
**[15:43] ---**
my lady.
**[15:53] ---**
You're still here? The investigation is over.
**[15:55] ---**
But I can't accept that!
**[15:57] ---**
Doesn't Scotland Yard exist
to protect the citizens?
**[16:02] ---**
Our country of England has a long history.
**[16:05] ---**
And because of that, there is an
ancient layer of sediment at bottom...
**[16:08] ---**
an underworld you must stay far away from.
**[16:11] ---**
A decision has been handed down
that this matter should be settled
**[16:14] ---**
according to the rules of that underworld.
**[16:17] ---**
Who decided that?
**[16:19] ---**
If you want to know, get yourself promoted.
**[16:21] ---**
But when you find out, I
imagine you'll regret it.
**[16:26] ---**
You'll wish you'd never known.
**[16:30] ---**
You're not going to report to
the Queen who Jack the Ripper was?
**[16:33] ---**
There's no need.
**[16:36] ---**
Her wish was that we end the incidents.
**[16:39] ---**
That objective has been fulfilled.
**[16:41] ---**
And you'll keep right on
sinking into the quagmire, won't you?
**[16:46] ---**
Even if you set foot somewhere
you can't return from,
**[16:50] ---**
I know you would never let anyone see you
**[16:53] ---**
pathetically screaming and crying for help.
**[16:56] ---**
Not you, the proud dog of the Queen.
**[16:59] ---**
I'll be careful not to make
myself a target for you, my lord.
**[17:03] ---**
Opium dens are starting to become a problem.
**[17:07] ---**
If you're going to get out, now's the time.
**[17:09] ---**
If I did that, I'd have to
think of another business to run.
**[17:15] ---**
You could always go back
to your home country.
**[17:18] ---**
I haven't exhausted my
interest in this country yet.
**[17:22] ---**
Or in you, my lord.
**[17:26] ---**
I fully expect you'll put on many
more interesting shows for me.
**[17:32] ---**
We have somewhere to go. Come.
**[17:37] ---**
This is...
**[17:38] ---**
My final customer from the
Jack the Ripper murders.
**[17:42] ---**
Apparently she was an immigrant.
**[17:44] ---**
They couldn't find anyone to claim her body.
**[17:47] ---**
So our kindhearted earl
here hired me to pretty her up
**[17:52] ---**
and even erected this gravestone for her.
**[17:56] ---**
I'm not kindhearted.
**[17:57] ---**
If I had given her life
first priority that night,
**[18:01] ---**
there would have been plenty
of ways to save her.
**[18:04] ---**
But I instead, I prioritized
catching Jack the Ripper.
**[18:09] ---**
I knew she wouldn't be saved.
**[18:13] ---**
I knew, and I let her die...
**[18:15] ---**
My own flesh and blood...
**[18:18] ---**
Are you having regrets?
**[18:20] ---**
No. Jack the Ripper is gone,
**[18:23] ---**
and Her Majesty's anxieties are resolved.
**[18:26] ---**
Victoria, eh? I don't like her.
**[18:30] ---**
She forces all the misery onto you
while she just sits back and watches.
**[18:36] ---**
This is my family's lot in life.
**[18:38] ---**
It's been passed down for
generations along with this ring.
**[18:41] ---**
That ring is like a dog collar.
**[18:45] ---**
It connects you to the Queen
by the chains of "fate."
**[18:48] ---**
I'm the one who chose this!
**[18:50] ---**
I pray you're never hung by that collar.
**[18:57] ---**
That would be so *boring*.
**[18:59] ---**
Come by the shop whenever you need something.
**[19:02] ---**
You and your butler are always welcome.
**[19:14] ---**
You are kindhearted.
**[19:16] ---**
Don't make me repeat myself! I'm not kind--
**[19:19] ---**
Yes, you are kindhearted.
**[19:21] ---**
If you aren't, perhaps
that means you're weak.
**[19:25] ---**
Why, you!
**[19:26] ---**
Why didn't you shoot?
**[19:29] ---**
"I let my own flesh and blood die"?
I take a dim view of lies, you know.
**[19:34] ---**
If you had wanted to shoot
her then, you could have.
**[19:39] ---**
But you wavered, and even when I
urged you, you refused to draw your gun.
**[19:44] ---**
Why?
**[19:46] ---**
Were you afraid to kill Madam Red yourself?
**[19:51] ---**
Do you mean to tell me you can
kill a stranger,
**[19:54] ---**
but not your own kin?
**[19:59] ---**
Because it was your job.
**[20:04] ---**
I thought you would protect me
even at the cost of your own life.
**[20:07] ---**
That's why I didn't shoot.
**[20:10] ---**
Our contract demands that you serve me;
**[20:11] ---**
that you protect me and do not kill me
**[20:15] ---**
until my goal is achieved.
**[20:18] ---**
I imagine a demon has no
"principles" or "loyalty."
**[20:22] ---**
All you have is aesthetics.
**[20:24] ---**
And so for the sake of your own aesthetics,
**[20:26] ---**
you will protect me no matter what.
**[20:29] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[20:30] ---**
Why did you stop me, then?
**[20:34] ---**
There was hesitation in her
eyes as she moved to kill me.
**[20:40] ---**
I thought she wouldn't be
able to kill me... her own kin.
**[20:46] ---**
One wrong move costs a person her life.
**[20:49] ---**
It's just like chess.
**[20:52] ---**
She hesitated and lost
sight of her next move.
**[20:55] ---**
That's all there is to it.
**[21:01] ---**
So I won't hesitate.
**[21:09] ---**
That's what I like to hear.
**[21:11] ---**
Always skillfully manipulate
your chess pieces, and survive.
**[21:16] ---**
Use me, and Madam Red, and
any pieces within your reach.
**[21:21] ---**
Even if the bodies of your pawns
pile up at the foot of your throne...
**[21:26] ---**
Because if the king falls, this game is over.
**[21:30] ---**
I won't stop moving, and I
won't regret the steps I've taken.
**[21:35] ---**
So this is an order:
**[21:38] ---**
you are the one man who must not betray me.
**[21:40] ---**
Don't leave my side.
**[21:44] ---**
Ever.
**[21:50] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[21:54] ---**
*I shall accompany you
anywhere you wish me to.*
**[22:05] ---**
*Even if your throne crumbles,
your radiant crown rots,*
**[22:10] ---**
*and a mountain of bodies piles up...*
**[22:13] ---**
*I shall stay beside your small form
as you lie atop your fallen pawns*
**[22:20] ---**
*until I hear the final call.*
**[24:04] ---**
*My young master's orders are to
develop a certain historied village*
**[24:07] ---**
*into a resort for the Queen.*
**[24:11] ---**
*If he's entrusted with petty,
lowbrow tasks like this,*
**[24:14] ---**
*there is certainly something to his
nickname of "the Queen's guard dog."*
**[24:20] ---**
*Wag your tail and dig over here. Woof, woof.*
**[24:24] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Merrymaking."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Merrymaking"
**[24:28] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:07] ---**
Resort, resort, we're so happy!
**[00:11] ---**
Resort, resort, we're so happy!
**[00:15] ---**
Isn't this wonderful, Mey-Rin? I'm so moved!
**[00:18] ---**
Yes, yes!
**[00:19] ---**
I can't believe he's taking us with
him to the Queen's health resort!
**[00:23] ---**
I guess even the young
master has his good points!
**[00:27] ---**
Yeah!
**[00:28] ---**
They are fortunate people.
**[00:31] ---**
It appears they're grateful to you,
my kind young master.
**[00:35] ---**
I don't want to leave
them behind by themselves
**[00:37] ---**
and come back to find the manor destroyed.
**[00:39] ---**
Indeed.
**[00:43] ---**
This would seem to be the
entrance to the village.
**[00:55] ---**
I forgot to tell you one thing:
**[00:57] ---**
this is the planned *construction
site* for the resort.
**[01:01] ---**
Young master...
**[01:13] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[01:19] ---**
*There is no color to our meeting;
it blows through in monochrome*
**[01:26] ---**
*I go where your cool fingers beckon me*
**[01:31] ---**
*I am like troublesome ice after the melt*
**[01:38] ---**
*You gently scoop me up to your
mouth and play with my upper lip*
**[01:46] ---**
*Still, I search for a form of love*
**[01:52] ---**
*The dry eyes that shape the
present rather than a distant time*
**[01:58] ---**
*Want to end like this, cloaked*
**[02:04] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[02:11] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[02:18] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[02:21] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[02:36] ---**
"His Butler, Merrymaking"
**[02:41] ---**
A trip, in this season?
**[02:44] ---**
Sebastian, are you familiar with the
leisure activity known as bear-baiting?
***SIGN*** "Charlotte"
**[02:49] ---**
The word seems entertaining
and quite attractive to me,
**[02:54] ---**
but I'm afraid not.
**[02:56] ---**
They tied a bear to a
fence with a rope or cord,
**[02:59] ---**
and fighting dogs surrounded it,
bit at it, and killed it.
**[03:04] ---**
My, that sounds very human-like.
**[03:08] ---**
It was banned by the Cruelty
to Animals Act of 1835,
**[03:12] ---**
but there was a loophole:
the law didn't apply to the attack dogs.
**[03:17] ---**
What do you think happened then?
**[03:20] ---**
I imagine they began having
the dogs attack their own kind.
**[03:22] ---**
Perhaps you would call it "dog-baiting"?
**[03:25] ---**
There's a village doing
just that: Houndsworth.
**[03:28] ---**
The place was originally
famous for rearing hunting dogs,
**[03:32] ---**
but behind closed doors, they...
**[03:46] ---**
She is heartsick.
**[03:49] ---**
We'll secure that village under the
pretext of making it a health resort.
**[03:52] ---**
That's the goal of this journey.
**[03:55] ---**
A village full of dogs, eh?
**[03:57] ---**
What is it?
**[03:58] ---**
Merely that securing a construction site
**[04:00] ---**
seems like a quite trifling job
for you to be concerned with.
**[04:04] ---**
There is a reason.
**[04:07] ---**
A reason why I, why the house of Phantomhive,
**[04:12] ---**
must go to Houndsworth in person.
**[04:31] ---**
Hey, I found the first villager!
**[04:34] ---**
Stop the carriage, Tanaka!
**[04:40] ---**
I'll help you out there, Granny!
**[04:42] ---**
N-No, Finny! If you're not
careful, the baby will--
**[04:47] ---**
What?
**[04:49] ---**
I-I'm so sorry!
**[04:52] ---**
Is the baby all right?!
**[04:58] ---**
This child was eaten by *it*.

Sit.

Lie down.
**[06:04] ---**
Oh, good boy! Good boy!
**[06:07] ---**
Wow, I'd like him to pet me, yes!
**[06:11] ---**
He warps its will with rewards and
punishments, and forces obedience.
**[06:16] ---**
A fine sight!
**[06:18] ---**
But the dog is not blameless.
**[06:20] ---**
It fawns on humans, and welcomes
the chain around its neck.
**[06:25] ---**
Really, it's quite hard to understand.
**[06:27] ---**
If you have something to say, just say it.
**[06:30] ---**
Thank you, my lord.
**[06:33] ---**
I love cats, but I'm not fond of dogs.
**[06:37] ---**
Or rather...
**[06:39] ---**
To be frank, I hate them.
**[06:43] ---**
Woof.
**[07:02] ---**
The Earl Phantomhive, I presume?
**[07:04] ---**
Yes.
**[07:05] ---**
Welcome to Barrymore Castle.
**[07:08] ---**
My master awaits your arrival.
**[07:14] ---**
Sh-She's beautiful, yes!
**[07:24] ---**
This way.
**[07:35] ---**
Who the devil is this Chihuahua?!
**[07:37] ---**
I told you to go receive
the Queen's messenger!
**[07:41] ---**
"Chihuahua"...?
**[07:42] ---**
Can't you even do a simple
thing like that, Angela?!
**[07:49] ---**
Sebastian.
**[07:52] ---**
What are you doing, you filthy Doberman?!
**[07:54] ---**
Trying to bite my head
off, are you?! Let me go!
**[07:57] ---**
I ordered him to do it.
**[07:59] ---**
What?!
**[08:00] ---**
It sounds as though you got my letter.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm Ciel Phantomhive.
**[08:07] ---**
You mean to tell me a little toy poodle
like you is Her Majesty's messenger?!
**[08:11] ---**
You disapprove of small breeds, Lord Henry?
**[08:20] ---**
Finny, quit starin' into space!
**[08:22] ---**
Hurry up and carry luggage! Get a move on!
**[08:32] ---**
I'll take care of this.
**[08:38] ---**
It's not worth discussing.
**[08:39] ---**
No matter what the terms,
I can't sell this place.
**[08:43] ---**
Let me hear your reason.
**[08:46] ---**
The curse.
**[08:48] ---**
Curse?
**[08:49] ---**
This village has lived alongside
its dogs since ancient times.
**[08:53] ---**
Those who interfere with it are cursed.
**[08:56] ---**
By a fearsome scourge...
**[08:59] ---**
Even Her Majesty cannot change that.
**[09:02] ---**
Great calamity befalls anyone
**[09:06] ---**
who goes against the Barrymore family!
**[09:09] ---**
Oh, interesting.
**[09:11] ---**
What?!
**[09:13] ---**
Let's have a nice, close
look at this "calamity."
**[09:22] ---**
Wow, so you're the only maid at this estate?
**[09:26] ---**
That's amazing! You impress me, Angela, yes!
**[09:30] ---**
Nonsense. I'm utterly unsatisfactory...
**[09:35] ---**
Let us know if there's anythin'
we can help you with.
**[09:37] ---**
We servants gotta get along. Right, Finny?
**[09:41] ---**
Yes, of course!
**[09:43] ---**
You're all so kind.
**[09:49] ---**
Please excuse me. My master is calling.
**[10:07] ---**
She said I was kind!
**[10:14] ---**
Hey, Finny, what are you waitin' for?!
**[10:16] ---**
Sorry!
**[10:25] ---**
Angela... Angela...
**[10:29] ---**
The Queen wants my village!
**[10:31] ---**
You understand, don't you?
**[10:34] ---**
I'll protect this village!
**[10:37] ---**
Angela, my angel...
**[10:41] ---**
My angel...
**[10:45] ---**
The maid saw! She saw what
should not have been seen, yes!
**[10:53] ---**
Come in.
**[10:55] ---**
I apologize for the lateness of the hour.
**[10:57] ---**
My young master is about to retire.
**[11:02] ---**
I have a request. Please, leave this village.
**[11:07] ---**
You mustn't be here.
**[11:09] ---**
Why not?
**[11:10] ---**
I can't...
**[11:17] ---**
Oh, no! The demon hound is here!
**[11:20] ---**
Demon hound?
**[11:26] ---**
Sebastian!
**[11:31] ---**
What was that?
**[11:33] ---**
Young master, look.
**[11:39] ---**
It's the great demon hound!
**[11:41] ---**
The great demon hound is here!
**[11:42] ---**
Who is it? Who's the bad dog?!
**[11:50] ---**
Young master!
**[11:50] ---**
Angela!
**[11:52] ---**
What the devil's the fuss about?
**[11:55] ---**
The demon hound has appeared.
**[11:56] ---**
Demon hound?
**[11:58] ---**
It brings calamity upon the village.
**[12:00] ---**
Those who defy my master are
punished by the demon hound.
**[12:05] ---**
That is the law of this village.
**[12:09] ---**
Angela,
**[12:11] ---**
please tell Lord Barrymore
that the demon hound has come.
**[12:16] ---**
Who's been punished?
**[12:25] ---**
That's awful.
**[12:30] ---**
I see.
**[12:30] ---**
Don't touch!
**[12:34] ---**
So James was the bad dog?
**[12:36] ---**
Yes. Apparently he broke the five-dog rule
**[12:40] ---**
and kept a sixth dog.
**[12:42] ---**
I see. Then this was inevitable.
**[12:46] ---**
Hey! How can you say that?!
**[12:48] ---**
This village has laws I have decreed.
**[12:51] ---**
Those who break them
**[12:53] ---**
are punished by the demon hound
who protects the Barrymores!

Young master.
**[13:48] ---**
What a horrible trip.
**[13:51] ---**
Yes, yes.
**[13:52] ---**
What's the matter?
**[13:54] ---**
You were so enthusiastic on the drive here.
**[13:57] ---**
Yeah, well...
**[13:59] ---**
Have you forgotten? We came to a resort.
**[14:10] ---**
Wow, who'd've guessed it was so comfortable?
**[14:14] ---**
The water's not even cold!
**[14:16] ---**
You come out here too, Mey-Rin!
**[14:19] ---**
I can't, it's just too embarrassing, yes!
**[14:22] ---**
Chances like this don't come every day!
Hurry up and get in!
**[14:36] ---**
I-I'm so embarrassed, yes.
**[14:40] ---**
You look great, Mey-Rin!
**[14:42] ---**
Really?!
**[14:44] ---**
I bet you'd look even better
without your glasses.
**[14:46] ---**
N-No, no!
**[14:52] ---**
You won't bathe, young master?
**[14:56] ---**
Ah, that's right. You--
**[14:59] ---**
Just being able to bathe in this season
**[15:02] ---**
isn't much of a selling
point for a health resort.
**[15:05] ---**
Do you truly intend to
make this place a resort?
**[15:08] ---**
Naturally.
**[15:09] ---**
What about the demon hound?
**[15:12] ---**
I'm sure you've caught on
to its true form as well.
**[15:18] ---**
Come here a moment.
**[15:22] ---**
Angela!
**[15:27] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:29] ---**
I shall do it right away.
**[15:31] ---**
You're awfully motivated.
I thought you hated dogs?
**[15:35] ---**
Yes, I do.
**[15:37] ---**
So I'd like to wrap this up
as quickly as possible.
**[15:41] ---**
Before everything goes to hell.
**[15:48] ---**
Have some, Angela.
**[15:50] ---**
Are you sure it's all right for me to share?
**[15:53] ---**
Of course! And Sebastian's
packed lunches are delicious, yes!
**[15:57] ---**
He's been caught! The bad dog's been caught!
**[16:00] ---**
It's James's dog! The
punishment's about to begin!
**[16:11] ---**
He's got something in his mouth.
**[16:13] ---**
Make him spit it out!
**[16:14] ---**
Let go, you bad dog!
**[16:18] ---**
Let go! Let go!
**[16:21] ---**
What a stubborn dog. Definitely a bad dog.
**[16:24] ---**
Begin!
**[16:48] ---**
Stop...
**[16:50] ---**
You can't do this...
**[16:53] ---**
The poor thing!
**[16:59] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:07] ---**
Finny!
**[17:12] ---**
They got in the way.
**[17:13] ---**
They interrupted our holy punishment.
**[17:15] ---**
They're more bad dogs!
**[17:17] ---**
They're bad dogs!
**[17:19] ---**
Punish the bad dogs! Punish the bad dogs!
**[17:26] ---**
You look pathetic, Maltese.
**[17:29] ---**
Master, I beg you, please
forgive these people!
**[17:34] ---**
True, this Pomeranian is
the Queen's messenger.
**[17:39] ---**
Depending on what he says,
perhaps I'll let him go.
**[17:43] ---**
Pull out of this village
**[17:45] ---**
and advise Her Majesty
never to touch it again!
**[17:49] ---**
You'd go that far to protect
your tiny little kingdom?
**[17:54] ---**
You're the very dictionary
definition of "obsession."
**[17:58] ---**
Then learn for yourself what
happens to bad dogs who defy me!
**[18:03] ---**
Sick him!
**[18:16] ---**
You're late.
**[18:17] ---**
My apologies, my lord.
**[18:21] ---**
You dare to interfere, Garm?
**[18:23] ---**
What are you waiting for?! Kill that one too!
**[18:28] ---**
Oh, what noisy, coarse voices.
**[18:32] ---**
This is why I hate dogs.
**[18:40] ---**
Wh-What happened...?
**[18:42] ---**
The farce ends here, Barrymore!
**[18:45] ---**
People of the village, listen to me!
There is no demon hound.
**[18:49] ---**
There's only that pathetic
old man obsessed with power!
**[18:54] ---**
Wh-What do you base that on?
**[18:56] ---**
This.
**[18:58] ---**
It was in the basement of your manor.
**[19:01] ---**
I've already confirmed that the
teeth match the marks on James.
**[19:08] ---**
Behold.
**[19:10] ---**
This is the demon hound's true form.
**[19:14] ---**
His shadow is nothing but a projection.
**[19:17] ---**
It's just a transparent trick.
**[19:20] ---**
The glowing is phosphor.
**[19:22] ---**
He merely sprinkled it on a normal dog.
**[19:26] ---**
The demon dog is an illusion
produced by a single person.
**[19:30] ---**
And that person is you, Henry Barrymore!
**[19:36] ---**
N-Nonsense! Where's the proof?
**[19:44] ---**
Give it to me. Your duty is done.
**[19:52] ---**
It's fine cloth.
**[19:54] ---**
*This* is the reason he hung on to it
**[19:59] ---**
to the last.
**[20:02] ---**
Th-That's...
**[20:04] ---**
Yes. It's a scrap of your trousers,
**[20:07] ---**
from when he bit your leg
trying to protect James.
**[20:15] ---**
So *you* killed James?
**[20:17] ---**
There was no demon hound?!
**[20:19] ---**
You tricked us!
**[20:21] ---**
Give it up! You're finished!
**[20:25] ---**
--You killed James! You killed James!
**[20:28] ---**
--P-Please, stop!
**[20:40] ---**
Phew, I'm exhausted!
**[20:44] ---**
You're an amazing dog.
**[20:46] ---**
To think you tried to protect
your master to the end...
**[20:57] ---**
You worked so hard. You worked so hard.
**[21:05] ---**
This is why I hate dogs.
**[21:20] ---**
Case closed, eh?
**[21:23] ---**
Let's leave the village
when the rain lets up.
**[21:27] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[21:33] ---**
Angela...
**[21:42] ---**
Let me out!
**[21:44] ---**
Let me out! Please, let me out!
**[21:48] ---**
It's coming... It's coming...
**[21:50] ---**
The demon hound is coming to kill me!
**[21:53] ---**
I'm begging you! Please...
**[21:57] ---**
Please let me out!
**[22:06] ---**
What's goin' on?!
**[22:09] ---**
What is it, Mey-Rin?
**[24:04] ---**
*The howl of a cursed hound
echoes through the desolate village.*
**[24:08] ---**
*Oh, the infernal beastly
smell is clinging to you.*
**[24:12] ---**
*Young master, if we're quite
through here, it's time for a bath.*
**[24:17] ---**
*Soak your whole body properly in
the tub, and count to one hundred.*

"His Butler, Training"
**[03:23] ---**
It's a shame, young master,
**[03:26] ---**
after you'd already declared
**[03:30] ---**
that the case was closed.
**[03:33] ---**
Shut up.
**[03:36] ---**
Where is Angela?
**[03:37] ---**
I put her to bed for now,
but she seems very tired, yes.
**[03:42] ---**
It's too painful to watch.
**[03:46] ---**
This village was completely isolated
**[03:49] ---**
from the rest of society out of
fear of the demon hound's curse...
**[03:54] ---**
I thought we established that
the hound was faked by Lord Henry
**[03:57] ---**
so that he could rule here.
**[04:00] ---**
But now Lord Henry has...
**[04:04] ---**
Are you sure those bite wounds
**[04:06] ---**
really weren't from the demon hound,
like the villagers say?
**[04:10] ---**
Maybe he's mad at being
blamed for Lord Henry's bad deeds!
**[04:15] ---**
Well, I think we can say for sure
that no human did this, at least.
**[04:20] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[04:30] ---**
What's the matter?
**[04:32] ---**
The way you phrased it earlier:
**[04:34] ---**
"no human did this."
**[04:37] ---**
That redheaded reaper had
better not show up again.
**[04:41] ---**
I'm a more *deadly* efficient
butler than I look!☆
**[04:45] ---**
I am quite impressed at the
sharpness of your learning curve.
**[04:52] ---**
There is no need to worry.
**[04:54] ---**
Mey-Rin's idea was not wholly incorrect.
**[04:59] ---**
It was Lord Henry the hound was after.
**[05:02] ---**
I imagine there isn't anyone
else who would fall victim to it.
**[05:06] ---**
That doesn't mean I can just leave it alone.
**[05:09] ---**
Is that your beautiful loyalty to your Queen?
**[05:13] ---**
No, that's not all.
**[05:16] ---**
You're normally a dull man,
**[05:19] ---**
but when a dog enters the picture,
you become rather fascinating.
**[05:27] ---**
You have learned.
**[05:35] ---**
I wonder if Angela is all right...
**[05:44] ---**
A-A ghost?!
**[05:50] ---**
M-Mey-Rin?!
**[05:52] ---**
Finny, did you hear that, yes?!
**[05:54] ---**
Y-Yes. Was it...?
**[05:56] ---**
M-Maybe the late Lord Henry has returned...
**[06:05] ---**
M-Mey-Rin...?
**[06:08] ---**
I love scary stories, yes!
**[06:11] ---**
I'm trembling with excitement!
**[06:15] ---**
Let's go, Finny!
**[06:16] ---**
Wh-Wh-What?!
**[06:22] ---**
Oh, it's all just too horribly frightening!
**[06:26] ---**
I wonder what it is...
**[06:44] ---**
That tickles.
**[06:46] ---**
No, no, slow down.
**[06:51] ---**
Good boy. That's right, good boy.
**[07:01] ---**
Th-This is too thrilling, yes!
**[07:03] ---**
Angela is a woman of mettle.
**[07:07] ---**
Her master was just found brutally murdered!
**[07:10] ---**
Or maybe that's what makes
her all the more passionate?
**[07:14] ---**
Finny?
**[07:18] ---**
Finny?!
**[07:24] ---**
*Angela... Angela...*
**[07:39] ---**
Going down in a blaze of glory, yes.
**[07:46] ---**
Mornin', everyone.
**[07:54] ---**
Good morning.
**[07:57] ---**
Oh, are you sure you should be out of bed?
**[07:59] ---**
Yes. I apologize for causing trouble.
**[08:03] ---**
And when my master always told me
**[08:07] ---**
not to break courtesy in front of guests...
**[08:10] ---**
Oh, Finny, you look pale...
**[08:15] ---**
Um, I'm, uh, I'm sick!
**[08:18] ---**
If you touch me,
you'll catch my... germs! Right, germs!
**[08:22] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[08:26] ---**
He sure doesn't *seem* sick.
**[08:39] ---**
Angela...
**[08:40] ---**
Finny!
***SIGN*** "Cabinet Pudding"
**[08:45] ---**
Today's tea features cabinet
pudding made with local blackberries.
**[08:51] ---**
You're certainly carefree.
**[08:53] ---**
There is no need to rush.
**[08:55] ---**
Sebastian!
**[08:57] ---**
What is it? You're making a fuss.
**[08:59] ---**
We can't find Angela anywhere!
**[09:02] ---**
Oh, she said there were some
medicinal herbs growing by the fen,
**[09:06] ---**
so she was going to go pick them.
**[09:08] ---**
She went to the fen by herself?
**[09:11] ---**
When there might really be
a demon hound lurking about?
**[09:13] ---**
Oh, hell!
**[09:16] ---**
Why would she be picking
herbs at a time like this?
**[09:18] ---**
Oh, well, it looked like she was
worried about how pale you were.
**[09:23] ---**
She did it for me...?
**[09:27] ---**
Let's go, Sebastian!
**[09:29] ---**
Sigh...
**[09:30] ---**
What's wrong with you?!
**[09:31] ---**
Are you a red-blooded man or what?!
**[09:34] ---**
Never mind!
**[09:35] ---**
Let's go, Mey-Rin!
**[09:36] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[09:37] ---**
Where's old man Tanaka?
**[09:43] ---**
He's on board. Right, let's go, men!
**[09:45] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[09:59] ---**
Well? What color *is* your blood?
**[10:04] ---**
It looks as though we've
developed a need to rush.
**[10:12] ---**
Put on a first-rate show for me, Sebastian.
**[10:17] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[10:34] ---**
--Angela...!

Angela!
**[10:48] ---**
Angela, where are you?
**[10:52] ---**
What is it?!
**[11:04] ---**
Wh-What are those?
**[11:06] ---**
Another thrilling scene
the very next morning!
**[11:14] ---**
Say, isn't that ring...
**[11:17] ---**
...Lord Henry's?
**[11:33] ---**
Who's that?
**[11:46] ---**
That arm... It wasn't the demon
hound who killed Lord Henry after all.
**[11:51] ---**
So it was a human?
**[11:54] ---**
Wh-What a thrilling lower body!
**[11:57] ---**
Has he got some sort of
grudge against Lord Henry?
**[12:01] ---**
Could Angela have asked him to do it?
**[12:06] ---**
Huh? Why should Angela do that?
**[12:08] ---**
He's right!
**[12:10] ---**
Finny!
**[12:11] ---**
Angela has nothing to do with it!
You shouldn't suspect people!
**[12:15] ---**
Shh!
**[12:35] ---**
What are you guys doin' dressed like that?
**[12:37] ---**
We're all going to stand under the waterfall
to ease the demon hound's wrath.
**[12:42] ---**
The great demon hound's voice
echoed in the air last night!
**[12:46] ---**
He howled all night long.
**[12:50] ---**
Howled?
**[13:02] ---**
Hey, Finny, wait!
**[13:05] ---**
All right, we'll do warm-up exercises here!
**[13:08] ---**
One, two, three, four!
**[13:28] ---**
Th-This voice...
**[13:40] ---**
Hey, is that...
**[13:47] ---**
It's the demon hound!
**[14:00] ---**
That's...
**[14:02] ---**
It's Angela's...!
**[14:07] ---**
What is it?! Finny? Finny!
**[14:11] ---**
Angela!
**[14:15] ---**
Oh, hell! Let me borrow that thing!
**[14:18] ---**
I'll show you what I can do.
**[14:26] ---**
Huh?
**[14:27] ---**
Why did you bring a party favor?!
**[14:48] ---**
Dear me, you're quite good at "shake hands."
**[14:54] ---**
Sebastian!
**[14:57] ---**
Though you are a bit heavy.
**[15:05] ---**
Come, this is no time to
be romping around together!
**[15:09] ---**
Young master!
**[15:11] ---**
Of course not. I shall take
care of everything at once.
**[15:22] ---**
Smells irresistible, doesn't it?
**[15:25] ---**
This is what you want, am I right?
**[15:27] ---**
It's what dogs make a beeline for:
Inukko, the treat you want every day.
**[15:30] ---**
"Inukko"?
**[15:37] ---**
Look out!
**[15:39] ---**
The best way to tame a dog is to
bend its will and force obedience...
**[15:43] ---**
In other words,
**[15:45] ---**
rewards and punishments!
**[15:48] ---**
First, reward!
**[15:59] ---**
U-Uh...
**[16:01] ---**
Sebas...tian...?
**[16:05] ---**
And then...
**[16:08] ---**
...punishment!
**[16:13] ---**
Reward.
**[16:14] ---**
Punishment!
**[16:16] ---**
Reward.
**[16:17] ---**
Punishment! Punishment!
**[16:20] ---**
Punishment!
**[16:26] ---**
This is even more of a show than I imagined.
**[16:29] ---**
And finally... hugs!
**[16:49] ---**
Sebastian!
**[16:55] ---**
H-Hey!
**[16:56] ---**
He's not coming out, no!
**[17:01] ---**
What are you dawdling for?
Get back here this instant!
**[17:07] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[17:15] ---**
Hot!
**[17:17] ---**
Hey, is this a hot spring?
**[17:24] ---**
I say, where is Sebastian?
**[17:27] ---**
What a resort needs is a tourist
attraction to be its centerpiece.
**[17:34] ---**
A way to luxuriate in abundant hot water
**[17:36] ---**
and soothe the fatigue of everyday life.
**[17:38] ---**
That is what we have here: a hot spring.
**[17:46] ---**
Sebastian!
**[17:55] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who
can't strike on a hot spring or two
**[18:00] ---**
isn't worth his salt.
**[18:06] ---**
Another too-thrilling scene, yes!
**[18:10] ---**
Pluto!
**[18:11] ---**
"Pluto"?
**[18:19] ---**
Good boy. Good boy.
**[18:27] ---**
I found him last month.
**[18:31] ---**
I love dogs, and he was so
adorable I just had to feed him.
**[18:38] ---**
"Adorable"?
**[18:41] ---**
He has a bad habit of turning
human when he gets too excited, but...
**[18:45] ---**
Don't just brush it off as a "habit"!
**[18:47] ---**
And so you kept him without telling anyone?
**[18:50] ---**
Yes. Lord Barrymore was using
the legend of the demon hound,
**[18:56] ---**
but in truth he feared the
hound more than anyone.
**[19:00] ---**
When I thought of what might
happen to him if my lord found him...
**[19:05] ---**
I see I was too indulgent.
**[19:08] ---**
I never thought the little fellow
would hurt Lord Barrymore...
**[19:12] ---**
Please! Would you be kind enough
**[19:15] ---**
to keep him at your estate, my lord?
**[19:20] ---**
K-Keep him at the estate?!
**[19:22] ---**
At Sebastian's side,
**[19:24] ---**
perhaps even Pluto could
become a good, faithful dog!
**[19:27] ---**
No, you see, I am merely
one hell of a butler...
**[19:31] ---**
Why not?
**[19:35] ---**
Do you mean that, young master?
**[19:38] ---**
Yes. It sounds amusing...
**[19:42] ---**
in several ways.
**[19:48] ---**
The great demon hound's curse is lifted!
**[19:51] ---**
Thank goodness! Thank goodness!
**[19:53] ---**
What's this about?
**[19:56] ---**
My lord, there's a legend in this village
**[20:00] ---**
that when the sins of our ancestors
against dogs are fully atoned for,
**[20:03] ---**
the land will weep tears of forgiveness.
**[20:05] ---**
These are tears of blessing!
**[20:12] ---**
This village had this hot
spring all along, though.
**[20:16] ---**
Well, no matter. We've accomplished our goal.
**[20:20] ---**
Shouldn't you declare now that line
**[20:23] ---**
you so clumsily let slip earlier?
**[20:26] ---**
You do it.
**[20:28] ---**
Case closed!
**[20:36] ---**
It's perfect.
**[20:38] ---**
This is the way they enjoy
hot springs in Japan.
**[20:42] ---**
They eat and drink while
relaxing in the baths.
**[20:52] ---**
Still...
**[20:58] ---**
Hey! Bring that over there!
**[21:01] ---**
Who'd like to buy one of these?
**[21:04] ---**
That gloomy village has
undergone quite a transformation.
**[21:09] ---**
I imagine Her Majesty's
worries have been dispelled.
**[21:13] ---**
Though my worries seem likely to continue...
**[21:23] ---**
Don't forget me, Pluto.
**[21:29] ---**
Pluto! If you're going into
town, put some clothes on!
**[21:31] ---**
Don't just swing in the breeze!
**[21:36] ---**
Er, Angela...
**[21:40] ---**
Let's meet again, Finny.
**[21:46] ---**
Well then, shall we be off?
**[21:49] ---**
I'll certainly come to visit Pluto one day.
**[21:53] ---**
I wish I could refuse.
**[21:56] ---**
What?
**[21:57] ---**
Not many people could tame a demon hound.
**[22:02] ---**
You seem to have a talent for making
lesser beings eat out of your hands.
**[22:09] ---**
Let's go, Sebastian.
**[22:19] ---**
See you, Angela!
**[22:28] ---**
One day, certainly.
**[24:04] ---**
*Talbot's camera, eh?*
**[24:07] ---**
*What a delightful toy you've got there.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Shall I take your picture?*
**[24:14] ---**
*Oh, young master, turn a
little more to the right.*
**[24:18] ---**
*After all, your profile seen
diagonally from the left is...*
**[24:22] ---**
*...subtly regrettable.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Phantom Image."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Phantom Image"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

"Black Butler"
**[00:40] ---**
*There is no color to our meeting;
it blows through in monochrome*
**[00:47] ---**
*I go where your cool fingers beckon me*
**[00:52] ---**
*I am like troublesome ice after the melt*
**[00:59] ---**
*You gently scoop me up to your
mouth and play with my upper lip*
**[01:07] ---**
*Still, I search for a form of love*
**[01:13] ---**
*The dry eyes that shape the
present rather than a distant time*
**[01:19] ---**
*Want to end like this, cloaked*
**[01:25] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[01:32] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[01:39] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[01:42] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[01:57] ---**
"His Butler, Phantom Image"
**[02:11] ---**
S-So, what did you want
to speak with us about?
**[02:16] ---**
I have a job I want you to do.
**[02:19] ---**
J
**[02:20] ---**
O
**[02:20] ---**
B?!
**[02:22] ---**
--Thank goodness!
**[02:23] ---**
--Thank goodness! --Thank goodness!
**[02:24] ---**
When he called us here I
was so sure we were fired, yes!
**[02:30] ---**
This is a camera said to have been
in the famous Talbot's collection.
**[02:34] ---**
It's got a story to it.
**[02:35] ---**
It was missing for some time,
**[02:38] ---**
but I heard it was coming up at
auction and went to great pains to get it.
**[02:41] ---**
Talbot...?
**[02:47] ---**
William Henry Fox Talbot.
**[02:50] ---**
He was an English scientist
***SIGN*** "William Henry Fox Talbot"
**[02:52] ---**
and one of the inventors
of photographic technology.
**[02:55] ---**
There were queer rumors about
the last camera he used.
**[03:00] ---**
Legend has it that when you
photograph someone with this camera,
**[03:03] ---**
whomever he thinks of most fondly
will appear in the picture...
**[03:08] ---**
perhaps.
**[03:11] ---**
Whomever he thinks of most fondly?!
**[03:13] ---**
--Can such a clever camera really exist?
**[03:14] ---**
--Oh, no, no!
**[03:17] ---**
Shall we take a shot to test it out?
**[03:20] ---**
Don't move. Exposure takes ten seconds.
**[03:26] ---**
Wh-What's "exposure"?
**[03:28] ---**
To put it plainly, it's
copying an image of Finny.
**[03:31] ---**
If you don't stay still for ten
seconds, the image will blur
**[03:33] ---**
and we won't get a good picture.
**[03:35] ---**
8, 9, 10... done.
**[03:41] ---**
It would have been all right to breathe.
**[03:49] ---**
Wow! It's my little birdie!
**[03:52] ---**
Huh? You have a birdie?
**[03:55] ---**
It's so cute!
**[03:58] ---**
I gave it food every day, and one
day it started eating out of my hand!
**[04:02] ---**
I was so happy I gave it a gentle pat, and...
**[04:08] ---**
It stopped moving...
**[04:10] ---**
Y-You mean...?
**[04:17] ---**
Ah, I forgot. The only loved
ones that the camera will show
**[04:22] ---**
are otherworldly beings...
**[04:25] ---**
in other words, the dead.
**[04:27] ---**
Th-The dead?!
**[04:28] ---**
Y-You mean...?!
**[04:30] ---**
The photo contains the otherworldly
being you remember most fondly:
**[04:35] ---**
in other words, someone dead.
**[04:40] ---**
Like anyone would believe such an
occult story in the nineteenth century!
**[04:45] ---**
Amazing, yes! What an outstanding camera!
**[04:50] ---**
My poor little birdie!
**[04:53] ---**
Take a picture of Sebastian with this camera.
**[04:56] ---**
But don't let him notice.
**[05:00] ---**
So you mean, like a candid photo?
**[05:02] ---**
Yes.
**[05:03] ---**
Wh-Who does Sebastian think
of most fondly, yes?!
**[05:07] ---**
I might want to see that.
**[05:09] ---**
He's always gripin' about
my artistic cookin'!
**[05:14] ---**
He's as human as any of us!
**[05:16] ---**
He must have a weakness or two!
**[05:18] ---**
This is our chance!
**[05:19] ---**
Yes!
**[05:20] ---**
I trust you can do it?
**[05:21] ---**
Yes, my lord!
**[05:23] ---**
Oh, I've always wanted to do that!
**[05:28] ---**
*What on Earth will appear if we
take a photo of him with this camera?*
**[05:33] ---**
This will be worth seeing.
**[05:43] ---**
At this time of day,
Sebastian will be...
**[05:47] ---**
in the library.
**[05:52] ---**
Stay still!
**[05:54] ---**
W-We need ten seconds, yes.
**[05:55] ---**
Ten seconds...
**[06:01] ---**
He's fast!
**[06:03] ---**
He's so fast I can't even see him, yes!
**[06:05] ---**
Damn, he won't show up
in the photo like this!
**[06:09] ---**
Oh, he stopped.
**[06:10] ---**
Brilliant! This is our chance!
**[06:22] ---**
I forgot to take the picture.
**[06:24] ---**
He's so wonderful, yes!
**[06:26] ---**
Next...
**[06:28] ---**
He puts each room in order.
**[06:35] ---**
Prepare yourself!
**[06:58] ---**
And now, administrative work in his office.
**[07:10] ---**
Come in.
**[07:12] ---**
Do you require something, my lord?
**[07:14] ---**
It came undone.
**[07:15] ---**
My lord?
**[07:18] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[07:23] ---**
Sebastian's wonderful in profile, too!
**[07:26] ---**
All right, stay right there!
**[07:28] ---**
4, 5, 6...
**[07:40] ---**
Let's let this room air out a bit.
**[07:50] ---**
Why do we have to work so hard
just to take one measly photograph?
**[07:58] ---**
I have a job for you.
**[08:00] ---**
Wh-What is it?
**[08:02] ---**
That.
**[08:06] ---**
The dog? What about him?
**[08:08] ---**
We'll be receiving a guest in the afternoon.
**[08:10] ---**
Please transfer that thing
somewhere out of sight before he gets here.
**[08:15] ---**
Where would that be?
**[08:18] ---**
I'll leave it up to you.
**[08:20] ---**
Hey, we've got plenty to
do ourselves, you know.
**[08:24] ---**
You can do it between your other tasks.
**[08:27] ---**
Please take care of it
before the guest arrives.
**[08:34] ---**
Now I should be able to
concentrate on my job for a while.
**[08:39] ---**
Come here, Plu-Plu!
**[08:52] ---**
Whee!
**[09:06] ---**
W-Wow! So Plu can breathe fire, yes?!
**[09:10] ---**
That's a demon hound for you.
**[09:12] ---**
Wait, we don't have time for this!
**[09:19] ---**
*Honestly, what's taking them so long?*
**[09:22] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[09:23] ---**
No, nothing. I'll take
my supper in here today.
**[09:28] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[09:57] ---**
Really, those three...
**[10:00] ---**
Perhaps it would be better for
them to just be eaten by a dog.
**[10:08] ---**
Well, now.
**[10:21] ---**
What a limber body...
**[10:24] ---**
and such soft hands.
**[10:28] ---**
Ah! Cats are lovely.
**[10:41] ---**
Why must I always be interrupted like this?
**[10:48] ---**
We're sorry, young master!
**[10:50] ---**
B-But Baldo thought of a good plan, yes!
**[10:53] ---**
I thought of it when I saw
the dog breathe fire...
**[10:56] ---**
Absolutely no flamethrowers.
**[10:59] ---**
Sadness...
**[11:01] ---**
Oh, my lord!
**[11:03] ---**
M-Mr. Lau!
**[11:04] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[11:06] ---**
I heard you were up to something interesting.
**[11:08] ---**
Go home.
**[11:10] ---**
Don't be so cold. Why not
try leaving this up to me?
**[11:15] ---**
I've already laid the spider's web.
**[11:19] ---**
The more he struggles, the more
impossible it will be to escape.
**[11:24] ---**
Up against me, no prey
could ever stand a chance.
**[11:31] ---**
Very well.
**[11:32] ---**
However, failure will not
be tolerated-- no matter what.
**[11:37] ---**
Naturally. After all, if the
Phantomhive name is sullied,
**[11:42] ---**
I'll be booted out of this country.
**[11:47] ---**
So, what are you up to?
**[11:57] ---**
Welcome.
**[11:59] ---**
I'm Paul Jones, the journalist
from Brit Business.
**[12:03] ---**
We've been expecting you, Mr. Jones.
**[12:06] ---**
Right this way, please.
**[12:14] ---**
All right, here we go.
**[12:35] ---**
What is this?
**[12:36] ---**
Hmm? How odd.
**[12:39] ---**
I was sure even
that butler would look at this...
**[12:43] ---**
I was a fool for believing
in you for even an instant.
**[12:47] ---**
It's too soon to give up yet.
**[13:03] ---**
No, not her! Where's...?
**[13:08] ---**
Mr. Jones?
**[13:09] ---**
O-Oh, quite!
**[13:12] ---**
Hmm? How odd.
**[13:16] ---**
What did I just waste my time on?
**[13:24] ---**
This is Tanaka, Funtom
Company's general director.
**[13:31] ---**
Then I'll start right in on my questions.
**[13:37] ---**
What could the earl be doing all by himself?
**[13:40] ---**
Is he sulking?
**[13:42] ---**
He said he wanted to think
things over alone, yes.
**[13:45] ---**
He's pretty serious about this.
**[13:50] ---**
To stop him for ten seconds...
**[13:55] ---**
This is the one technique
I didn't want to use,
**[13:58] ---**
but I see there's no help for it.
**[14:05] ---**
Next, please tell me about Funtom's
business strategy going forward.
**[14:13] ---**
Huh?
**[14:15] ---**
Our company currently focuses
on toys and confections,
**[14:19] ---**
but we plan to go into other areas as well.
**[14:26] ---**
Huh?!
**[14:33] ---**
Right now, our company...
**[14:35] ---**
Y-Yes?!
**[14:36] ---**
...is carrying out plans to
build outlets across Europe.
**[14:39] ---**
First we'll open branches in Paris,
Vienna, Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam, and Athens.
**[14:44] ---**
We plan to expand into thirty
countries
**[14:46] ---**
in the next five years, including
those in North America.
**[14:50] ---**
We'll also build a confection factory
in Provence in the south of France
**[14:54] ---**
and a toy factory in Salzburg in Austria.
**[14:56] ---**
We continue our efforts to
provide an ample supply of goods.
**[15:01] ---**
In addition, Funtom always strives to
maintain or improve the quality of its brand.
***SIGN*** "Funtom Company"
**[15:06] ---**
We would never sell expired goods
or lie about where they were made.
**[15:10] ---**
Only products which have passed
numerous rigorous quality tests
**[15:12] ---**
reach the market graced
with the name "Funtom"!
**[15:14] ---**
Also, our motto is "Customers First."
**[15:17] ---**
We arrive on the scene
immediately when called, product in hand,
**[15:22] ---**
no matter how remote the location.
**[15:24] ---**
We get perfect products swiftly to our
customers with a perfect delivery system.
**[15:28] ---**
That is the Phantomhive way!
**[15:30] ---**
You see?
**[15:33] ---**
That will be all!
**[15:36] ---**
Th-Thank you.
**[15:39] ---**
Before I go, I'd like to
get a photo, if I may...
**[15:42] ---**
A photo?
**[15:43] ---**
I'd like you in the shot, too.
**[15:45] ---**
I'm afraid I must decline.
**[15:47] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[15:54] ---**
Today I am serving Demon Hound
Bean Cakes made in Houndsworth.
**[16:00] ---**
Why this rot?
**[16:02] ---**
Baldo and the others appear to have
purchased quite a number of them.
**[16:06] ---**
How did the interview go?
**[16:08] ---**
I wish you could have seen
Tananka's brilliant performance
**[16:10] ---**
as company president.
**[16:12] ---**
Good. After all, I can't take public action.
**[16:16] ---**
Quite. Before he left, he
also took a photograph.
**[16:20] ---**
Photograph?
**[16:21] ---**
Rumor has it that portrait photos
have been all the rage lately.
**[16:25] ---**
Oh?
**[16:26] ---**
Why not try it yourself?
**[16:30] ---**
Rubbish.
**[16:42] ---**
It's almost time.
**[16:51] ---**
Is this really all right?
**[16:53] ---**
Yes.
**[16:54] ---**
But...
**[16:56] ---**
Just do it!
**[16:57] ---**
Yes, my lord!
**[17:15] ---**
Young master!
**[18:07] ---**
You make a nice little tableau.
**[18:10] ---**
You're late.
**[18:11] ---**
My apologies. I was preparing supper.
**[18:16] ---**
Tonight's main dish will
be Canard à la Rouennaise.
**[18:20] ---**
I see.
**[18:23] ---**
You could have just told
me to pose for a picture.
**[18:26] ---**
What?
**[18:27] ---**
If you had ordered me to,
I would have done so at once.
**[18:37] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[18:44] ---**
We finally took it!
**[18:46] ---**
This was a major job that took us all day!
**[18:48] ---**
The young master is
certainly impressive, yes!
**[19:01] ---**
All right, it's starting to come out.
**[19:08] ---**
Plu-Plu!
**[19:14] ---**
Plu?
**[19:26] ---**
Aren't you going to go look, my lord?
**[19:45] ---**
Good boy.
**[19:55] ---**
My lord certainly thought up an
elaborate piece of mischief this time.
**[20:01] ---**
Please sleep outside.
**[20:13] ---**
Excuse me, my lord. It's
time to prepare for bed.
**[20:22] ---**
How untidy of you, falling
asleep in a place like this.
**[20:30] ---**
In any case...
**[20:34] ---**
Once again, you've given me
more work than necessary.
**[20:50] ---**
Whoa.
**[20:52] ---**
Sebastian's in the picture!
**[20:54] ---**
So the young master
**[20:56] ---**
thinks most f-fondly of Sebastian?!
**[21:00] ---**
Is that how it is?
**[21:02] ---**
They're good friends!
**[21:04] ---**
The young master is my
rival... What should I do?
**[21:07] ---**
Hey, it's Plu-Plu!
**[21:09] ---**
Huh?!
**[21:10] ---**
Which means... hang on.
**[21:13] ---**
Does this mean Plu is the one who
thinks most fondly of Sebastian?
**[21:18] ---**
Is that how it is?!
**[21:19] ---**
Or is it the young master after all?!
**[21:22] ---**
Which is it?!
**[21:27] ---**
I'm honored.
**[21:28] ---**
Be quiet.
**[21:29] ---**
It's your own fault for
sleeping in that unguarded way.
**[21:33] ---**
Why, you...
**[21:35] ---**
The image in the photograph
is a mere illusion.
**[21:39] ---**
But I suppose it is humanity's
vain dream to preserve it,
**[21:45] ---**
even if it *is* an illusion.
**[21:58] ---**
Huh?
**[21:59] ---**
Wait, I thought this
camera only showed things
**[22:03] ---**
like my birdie...
**[22:08] ---**
Hmm? So why is Sebastian in the photo?
**[22:12] ---**
Finny!
**[22:28] ---**
Oh, well!
**[24:04] ---**
*The season for the frost fair
on the Thames has arrived.*
**[24:09] ---**
*My young master claims to
be "inspecting the market,"*
**[24:11] ---**
*but in truth he's having a grand old time.*
**[24:15] ---**
*Watching his childish, innocent
profile, it sucks at my heart...*
**[24:20] ---**
*No, I mean tugs at my heart.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, On Ice."*
**[24:26] ---**

**[00:21] ---**
Shit! Don't let him get away!
**[00:23] ---**
Does Tim even get how hard
we worked to steal that thing?!
**[00:42] ---**
It's mine now. I won't
let anyone else have it.
**[00:45] ---**
You are not suited to that ring.
**[01:00] ---**
The Hope piece is searching
for a worthy master, you see.
**[01:14] ---**
He jumped!
**[01:16] ---**
That damn fool...

"His Butler, On Ice"
**[02:58] ---**
Ladies and gents, this hasn't
happened in eighty years!
**[03:01] ---**
You can't pass up this chance! Come on by!
**[03:08] ---**
I see.
**[03:10] ---**
"Frost fair" is an appropriate name.
**[03:15] ---**
I'm told this is the first
frost fair on this scale
**[03:21] ---**
to be held on the frozen Thames
at the foot of the London Bridge
**[03:25] ---**
since the year 1814.
**[03:31] ---**
Please wait, my lady!
**[03:35] ---**
Paula, you'll crack the
ice if you run so heavily.
**[03:42] ---**
My lady! I'll be scolded for this.
**[03:46] ---**
If your parents found out
we were taking such a detour...
**[03:49] ---**
But Harrods and Liberty
were both utterly hopeless!
**[03:55] ---**
I was joking when I said it would crack.
**[03:59] ---**
My lady, it seems you've
been searching for something...
**[04:04] ---**
Would you tell me what?
**[04:06] ---**
Well... Well, it's almost Ciel's birthday!
**[04:10] ---**
I want him to be pleased with his present.
**[04:13] ---**
No, I *must* please him with it!
**[04:17] ---**
Oh, oh, oh! I could just eat you up!
**[04:23] ---**
I understand, my lady.
**[04:24] ---**
I, Paula, will do everything I can to help!
**[04:29] ---**
Thank you, Paula.
**[04:31] ---**
Well? What about that swine Tim?
**[04:33] ---**
They found his body, but apparently
he didn't have the ring on him.
**[04:37] ---**
Then it's...
**[04:39] ---**
Yes. The ring is in this river.
**[04:43] ---**
Roll up, roll up!
**[04:46] ---**
I'm sellin' these cheap enough
to blow even Jack Frost away!
**[04:49] ---**
Why not buy one for Christmas?
**[04:51] ---**
What is it, my lord?
**[04:52] ---**
Those are all inferior goods.
**[04:55] ---**
If the river freezes again next year,
Funtom could set up shop.
**[05:00] ---**
For example, that's--
**[05:02] ---**
Ah, hello there, my noble
lad! You have a good eye.
**[05:06] ---**
That's a fine piece from Funtom Workshop.
**[05:08] ---**
In other words, from when
the popular Funtom Company
**[05:11] ---**
was still a craft studio!
**[05:14] ---**
A blatant fake of one, you mean.
**[05:17] ---**
The Funtom Arks are rare--
only three sets were ever made,
**[05:20] ---**
by an artist my predecessor patronized
who used the finest technology.
**[05:25] ---**
Since our mansion burned down,
even we no longer have one.
**[05:32] ---**
They certainly wouldn't turn up *here*.
**[05:35] ---**
Noah's Ark...
**[05:37] ---**
it's like this nation itself.
**[05:40] ---**
What?
**[05:41] ---**
A boat led by a single skipper.
**[05:45] ---**
The only ones saved are a select few.
**[05:49] ---**
It's an arrogant idea.
**[05:53] ---**
You're...
**[05:55] ---**
If a Scotland Yard inspector
has time to frivol about here,
**[05:59] ---**
I suppose there must be peace
in London... for today.
**[06:02] ---**
I'm not frivolling! I'm on duty!
**[06:04] ---**
Oh, my. Well, then, Inspector,
**[06:07] ---**
earn your wages in faithful
service to Queen and country.
**[06:11] ---**
Wait!
**[06:12] ---**
I have some questions for you, Ciel!
**[06:17] ---**
Pardon me, but as you can see my
master is fragile--
**[06:21] ---**
I mean, sensitive,
**[06:23] ---**
so I'll have to ask you not to be so rough.
**[06:37] ---**
Well? What's a detective from the
Yard doing here, Inspector Abberline?
**[06:44] ---**
This morning, a man's corpse
was discovered underneath this ice.
**[06:52] ---**
He was a member of a certain
criminal organization.
**[06:56] ---**
We're looking for his killer
and for the ring he stole.
**[06:59] ---**
There's a blue diamond set in the ring
**[07:02] ---**
that's supposedly worth 2,000 quid.
**[07:06] ---**
The diamond... the gemstone
that gleams in eternal radiance.
**[07:11] ---**
Legend has it that those
bewitched by its sparkle
**[07:14] ---**
are compelled to pursue
it even when they know
**[07:18] ---**
only destruction awaits.
**[07:21] ---**
Why do you know about the Hope piece?!
**[07:24] ---**
"The Hope piece"?
**[07:26] ---**
Hmm? What's this? So there
really is such a jewel!
**[07:30] ---**
Oh, my...
**[07:31] ---**
What?! But you just said--
**[07:34] ---**
He was just blathering. Don't
give him any attention.
**[07:37] ---**
Never mind that, Lau,
what are you doing here?
**[07:40] ---**
I own this place.
**[07:46] ---**
I see...
**[07:49] ---**
Say, this "Hope" thing sounds
interesting, my lord.
**[07:54] ---**
Will you tell me more?
**[07:56] ---**
You've never heard of the blue
diamond that we call the Hope
**[08:01] ---**
because it was a part of
Henry Philip Hope's collection?
**[08:05] ---**
Nope.
**[08:06] ---**
Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette...
**[08:09] ---**
It's known as a diabolical stone
**[08:12] ---**
that's passed through the hands of
many owners and driven all to ruin.
**[08:17] ---**
Then, after being stolen yet again,
**[08:20] ---**
the diamond was cut to disguise it,
**[08:22] ---**
producing smaller pieces.
**[08:25] ---**
They say two pieces of
the Hope diamond exist.
**[08:29] ---**
Is one of them what you're
searching for, Abberline?
**[08:33] ---**
Explosives were used on a
carriage transporting evidence,
**[08:37] ---**
and it was stolen.
**[08:39] ---**
Interesting. Give me details.
I'll lend you a hand in this.
**[08:44] ---**
Naturally I won't force you.
**[08:46] ---**
But if you refuse,
**[08:48] ---**
your superior Sir Arthur might find
himself in a very awkward position.
**[08:54] ---**
My lady, aren't these wonderful?
**[08:59] ---**
No, those aren't cute at all!
**[09:02] ---**
Oh? I-Is that so, my lady?
**[09:05] ---**
I think they are...
**[09:07] ---**
Jingle, jingle!
**[09:08] ---**
Paula, you don't understand at all!
**[09:10] ---**
Never mind, I'll look by myself.
**[09:11] ---**
"Dismay"
**[09:14] ---**
Please wait, my lady!
**[09:22] ---**
My lady!
**[09:33] ---**
Is this really the place?
**[09:35] ---**
Yes. He says he set up shop because
lots of people freeze to death
**[09:38] ---**
during the frost fair.
**[09:40] ---**
My lord, don't tell me this shop is...
**[09:47] ---**
You lot wait outside.
**[09:49] ---**
You're lucky I let you accompany me at all.
**[09:53] ---**
So foolhardy...
**[09:54] ---**
It's one of the privileges of youth.
**[09:59] ---**
So, what is this place?
**[10:00] ---**
The Undertaker's funeral parlor!
**[10:02] ---**
You met him during the Jack the Ripper case!
**[10:04] ---**
Oh!
**[10:06] ---**
Abberline should come crying
for help any minute.
**[10:08] ---**
Sebastian, prepare yourself.
**[10:21] ---**
You're amazing! I tell you,
you're in the wrong business!
**[10:25] ---**
You could rule the world of comedy!
**[10:29] ---**
What did you do?!
**[10:30] ---**
I-I was just conversing normally.
**[10:33] ---**
But out of nowhere he...
**[10:37] ---**
Abberline, you're a man to be feared.
**[10:43] ---**
It appears you are rather skilled, Inspector.
**[10:46] ---**
I-I didn't...
**[10:52] ---**
Tell me about the ring, Undertaker!
**[10:56] ---**
We're told a frozen corpse you
took care of this morning had it.
**[10:59] ---**
It might be buried near
where the body was found.
**[11:03] ---**
As an upstanding citizen of London,
I call on you to cooperate with us.
**[11:09] ---**
I'm profoundly impressed, Inspector.
**[11:13] ---**
I'll tell you all about it.
**[11:16] ---**
The ring is...
**[11:19] ---**
...right there, see?
**[11:26] ---**
It looks like the artisan
happened to find the frozen ring
**[11:30] ---**
and designed a sculpture to complement it.
**[11:33] ---**
Collect it! Right now!
**[11:34] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[11:36] ---**
What are you doing, you fiend?!
**[11:42] ---**
That is the sacred lady
bestowed on the victor.
**[11:46] ---**
You mustn't touch her.
**[11:48] ---**
"Shudder"
**[11:50] ---**
Lord Druitt!
**[12:06] ---**
Judging a contest?
**[12:08] ---**
Why *him*?
**[12:10] ---**
Wasn't he arrested by the
Yard for human trafficking?
**[12:14] ---**
He was released the other day.
**[12:16] ---**
Money, eh?
**[12:19] ---**
Excuse me, but Scotland Yard will
be taking charge of this sculpture.
**[12:23] ---**
Absolutely not! This frost fair
is a festival for the citizens.
**[12:26] ---**
Even Scotland Yard can't
ride roughshod over it!
**[12:31] ---**
Beauty is something to be admired.
**[12:33] ---**
You mean to violate this noble lady?
**[12:37] ---**
Hypocrite.
**[12:39] ---**
If you insist on having her,
offer something of suitable beauty.
**[12:45] ---**
Just what I would expect from
Lord Druitt, lover of art, beauty, and food!
**[12:49] ---**
He's quite right! If you want this
sculpture, win it in the contest!
**[12:53] ---**
I see, there's merit in that.
**[12:55] ---**
The ring belongs to the winner.
**[12:57] ---**
I like the simplicity of it.
**[13:00] ---**
I'll get that ring.
**[13:03] ---**
That's stolen property!
**[13:04] ---**
And key evidence in the serial
kidnappings of young girls!
**[13:10] ---**
Aha, I can see why the Yard would
be searching so frantically for it.
**[13:14] ---**
But it's the truth that each
owner of the ring disappears!
**[13:19] ---**
It really is a cursed stone, but you're--
**[13:21] ---**
Cursed, eh?
**[13:23] ---**
Then it suits me all the more.
**[13:26] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[13:27] ---**
I seem to recall *your* ring
had a pretty blue stone.
**[13:31] ---**
Yes.
**[13:32] ---**
You should take care.
**[13:34] ---**
Diamonds are hard.
**[13:36] ---**
But because
they are hard, they are brittle.
**[13:39] ---**
If you go too far, you
may be shattered as well.
**[13:43] ---**
What of it?
**[13:46] ---**
This body *and* this ring...
**[13:50] ---**
...have already been
shattered and then reborn.
**[13:53] ---**
I'm far past being afraid of shattering.
**[13:58] ---**
Win the contest, Sebastian.
**[14:00] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[14:05] ---**
Well, that's that. Fill out an entry form.
**[14:08] ---**
Are you serious?!
**[14:09] ---**
We're Irish.
**[14:11] ---**
We won't lose to those English
bastards when it comes to ice and snow!
**[14:13] ---**
R-Right!
**[14:15] ---**
And if worse comes to worst...
**[14:21] ---**
I now open the frost fair's customary
snow and ice sculpture contest!
**[14:27] ---**
You have until 3:00!
**[14:30] ---**
And now, please begin!
**[14:35] ---**
My lady, there seems to be a
lively event happening over there.
**[14:41] ---**
*Ciel...*
**[14:42] ---**
I hate this stupid ring!
**[14:50] ---**
That ring was very important to my master.
**[14:54] ---**
The heads of the Phantomhive family
passed it down for generations.
**[14:57] ---**
It was one-of-a-kind.
**[15:01] ---**
*I'm sorry, Ciel.*
**[15:03] ---**
*I'm so sorry...*
**[15:05] ---**
*But to make up for it, I'll
find you a lovely present!*
**[15:18] ---**
Show me that!
**[15:22] ---**
We'll now begin the judging!
**[15:28] ---**
First, we have team Scotland
Yard and Its Merry Men,
**[15:32] ---**
with "The Guardian of London"!
**[15:37] ---**
Your scores, please!
**[15:38] ---**
One point, two points,
one point, one point, zero points!
**[15:41] ---**
That's five points total!
**[15:44] ---**
Next we have an entry from team
All China Dresses Should Be Minis...
**[15:48] ---**
But I'm afraid
**[15:52] ---**
that for various reasons
I'm disqualifying it.
**[15:57] ---**
Why?
**[15:57] ---**
How could you think it was
all right to exhibit that here?!
**[16:01] ---**
I think hiding the bits like
that makes it even more erotic...
**[16:08] ---**
You can win, can't you Sebastian?
**[16:10] ---**
Of course. You have ordered me to do it;
**[16:14] ---**
I will not fail.
**[16:16] ---**
And next, from team Queen's
Puppy, "Noah's Ark"!
**[16:25] ---**
What a grand scale it's on!
**[16:28] ---**
This is true ice art!
**[16:30] ---**
Most amazing! Let's see how many points--
**[16:33] ---**
One moment, please.
**[16:35] ---**
You haven't seen it all yet.
**[16:47] ---**
Wow!
**[16:48] ---**
It's like it's alive!
**[16:50] ---**
I see! He deliberately made
the seam of the roof weak
**[16:53] ---**
so that it would melt
over time and slip apart!
**[16:58] ---**
The man who stood bravely against
the relentless storm of God's wrath!
**[17:03] ---**
His name: Noah!
**[17:04] ---**
And the pairs of beasts he
led rocked on the waves,
**[17:08] ---**
waiting for their rebirth.
**[17:11] ---**
Bravo, young man!
**[17:14] ---**
I mark you as a skilled ice sculptor...
**[17:17] ---**
No, Sir, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[17:22] ---**
We can't beat that, Boss.
**[17:24] ---**
Damn... In that case...
**[17:27] ---**
All right, let's have the scores!
**[17:30] ---**
Hold it right there!
**[17:31] ---**
Sorry, but this ring belongs to us.
**[17:34] ---**
We're taking it back.
**[17:36] ---**
What? Don't tell me you're--
**[17:38] ---**
That's right!
**[17:39] ---**
We're the team of bomber thieves
that all of London is talking about.
**[17:48] ---**
I'll count down from ten.
**[17:50] ---**
If you don't want to die,
get the hell out of here.
**[17:55] ---**
Ten!
**[17:57] ---**
Young master.
**[17:57] ---**
Nine!
**[17:58] ---**
My orders remain the same.
**[18:01] ---**
Do it, Sebastian.
**[18:03] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[18:05] ---**
Eight!
**[18:06] ---**
What are you waiting for?!
Hurry up and run, Ciel!
**[18:09] ---**
Seven!
**[18:10] ---**
You can run if you want to.
**[18:12] ---**
Forget about me.
**[18:13] ---**
--Six!
**[18:13] ---**
--I can't do that!
**[18:16] ---**
I joined the police to protect the citizens!
**[18:18] ---**
Five!
**[18:19] ---**
To protect everyone!
**[18:22] ---**
--Four!
**[18:22] ---**
--Fool.
**[18:26] ---**
Stay away.
**[18:29] ---**
Only three left.
**[18:31] ---**
You sure you don't want
to run, little nobleman?
**[18:35] ---**
There's no need.
**[18:36] ---**
Because, you see...
**[18:43] ---**
What?!
**[18:49] ---**
That's the mythical quadruple jump!
**[18:51] ---**
A noble black swan flying
through a silvery-white world!
**[18:55] ---**
Lured by that devilish smile,
**[18:57] ---**
the maiden is embraced by
his wings in a flurry of ecstasy.
**[19:07] ---**
Ten, ten, ten, ten, and ten!
**[19:10] ---**
A perfect score!
**[19:12] ---**
You bloody little...
**[19:15] ---**
Get blown to smithereens!
**[19:26] ---**
Damn that monster!
**[19:38] ---**
Please, stop, Boss!
**[19:40] ---**
Have you forgotten?!
**[19:42] ---**
We're standing on *ice*!
**[19:46] ---**
Sebastian!
**[20:04] ---**
Ciel...
**[20:06] ---**
As stubborn as ever.
**[20:18] ---**
The ship sails on, leaving
human despair behind!
**[20:21] ---**
The ship sails on, along with
the future of the world!
**[20:25] ---**
Carrying the chosen pair's hope,
**[20:27] ---**
the ship sails on toward a rapturous dream!
**[20:31] ---**
It's Noah...
**[20:33] ---**
It's truly Noah's Ark...
**[20:35] ---**
A Biblical miracle has
happened on the Thames!
**[20:39] ---**
Your methods were very violent.
**[20:42] ---**
I apologize, my lord.
**[20:43] ---**
When baggage drags one
down, it's best to toss it.
**[20:50] ---**
The Hope piece will sleep at
the bottom of the Thames...
**[20:55] ---**
I suppose that end has its own charm.
**[20:56] ---**
"London, be cursed"?
**[20:59] ---**
If that's all it takes to
destroy this city or this nation,
**[21:03] ---**
they were never meant to survive.
**[21:05] ---**
After all, the Phantomhives have always...
**[21:09] ---**
Grab my hand!
**[21:11] ---**
Sebastian, you said Noah was arrogant,
**[21:15] ---**
but don't you think it's
more arrogant and foolish
**[21:18] ---**
to think you can save everyone--
to want to do that?
**[21:21] ---**
So it would seem.
**[21:24] ---**
But an idiot of that sort every
now and then might not be so bad.
**[21:31] ---**
Just who are you, Ciel?
**[21:39] ---**
My lady?
**[21:42] ---**
Father said this was a "blatant fake"!
**[21:45] ---**
It's so cruel!
**[21:46] ---**
I thought... I thought I'd
be able to please Ciel!
**[21:50] ---**
My lady?
**[21:52] ---**
Come, now, cheer up. Jingle, jingle!
**[21:56] ---**
Leave me alone!
**[22:04] ---**
Ciel, I'm so sorry.
**[22:06] ---**
I wanted to give you a wonderful gift...
**[22:17] ---**
So I thought to myself
**[22:19] ---**
that the Hope piece has found a
new keeper on its own, my master.
**[24:04] ---**
*The ring which flickers in the blue abyss*
**[24:07] ---**
*is pledge of inescapable death.*
**[24:09] ---**
*The hand organ begins to play a
broken melody in its faltering tones.*
**[24:15] ---**
*Listen well, my young master:*
**[24:17] ---**
*you must not go along
with any bad men--*
**[24:19] ---**
I mean, red men.*
**[24:24] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, However You Please."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, However You Please"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:15] ---**
Why can't we celebrate?
**[00:18] ---**
Tomorrow is...
**[00:21] ---**
It's a special occasion,
**[00:22] ---**
so I wish it could be flashy
and lively and fun, yes...
**[00:31] ---**
I'm here!
**[00:34] ---**
Lady Elizabeth?!
**[00:43] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[00:49] ---**
*There is no color to our meeting;
it blows through in monochrome*
**[00:56] ---**
*I go where your cool fingers beckon me*
**[01:01] ---**
*I am like troublesome ice after the melt*
**[01:08] ---**
*You gently scoop me up to your
mouth and play with my upper lip*
**[01:16] ---**
*Still, I search for a form of love*
**[01:22] ---**
*The dry eyes that shape the
present rather than a distant time*
**[01:28] ---**
*Want to end like this, cloaked*
**[01:34] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[01:41] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[01:48] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[01:51] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[02:06] ---**
"His Butler, However You Please"
**[02:14] ---**
Ciel!
**[02:16] ---**
Lizzie?!
**[02:22] ---**
Here, this is for you.
Hurry up and open it, won't you?
**[02:31] ---**
But I broke this! How...
**[02:35] ---**
Oh, Sebastian repaired it.
**[02:37] ---**
What? But it was chipped!
And I don't see any cracks...
**[02:41] ---**
Yes. A Phantomhive butler
who can't do this much--
**[02:44] ---**
...isn't worth his salt.
**[02:48] ---**
Quite, my lord.
**[02:50] ---**
I see... Sebastian fixed it...
**[02:54] ---**
My lady...
**[02:56] ---**
What do you have in that box, Lady Elizabeth?
**[02:59] ---**
Er, um, it's a secret!
**[03:03] ---**
Didn't you just say you were giving it to me?
**[03:08] ---**
That was a feint.
**[03:10] ---**
"Feint"?
**[03:11] ---**
No proper lady would try to win
her gentleman with material things!
**[03:15] ---**
That's disgraceful!
**[03:17] ---**
Now, Paula, ring the bells!
**[03:19] ---**
Y-Yes, my lady! Jingle, jingle!
**[03:23] ---**
Well, then, good afternoon!
**[03:28] ---**
So... what did Lizzie come here for?
**[03:32] ---**
Tomorrow is your birthday.
**[03:35] ---**
I imagine that's the reason.
**[03:40] ---**
Well, young master?
**[03:41] ---**
Why not hold a birthday party?
**[03:44] ---**
After all, it seems there are
others who wish to celebrate you, too.
**[03:55] ---**
My birthday...
**[04:07] ---**
Guess what? It's my birthday today!
**[04:11] ---**
Honestly, now! I'm so sorry, Sir.
**[04:15] ---**
Not at all. Your son is charming.
**[04:18] ---**
Mother said she'll let me sleep
in her bed tonight as a treat!
**[04:23] ---**
She'll read me a book, too!
**[04:25] ---**
And then--
**[04:26] ---**
*On my birthday...*
**[04:32] ---**
Father! Mother!
**[04:35] ---**
Fath--
**[04:41] ---**
*My mother would let me sleep in her bed.*
**[04:45] ---**
*My father would give me a present.*
**[04:48] ---**
We shall give you the
mark of the noble beast.
**[04:57] ---**
*I had been eagerly looking forward to it...*
**[05:03] ---**
*My birthday...*
**[05:10] ---**
Young master?
**[05:11] ---**
This is nonsense. Bring tea to my room.
**[05:15] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[05:30] ---**
Perhaps it's construction in the Underground?
**[05:35] ---**
Look, my lady! Jingle, jingle!
**[05:39] ---**
Paula.
**[05:40] ---**
Yes? Jingle, jingle!
**[05:42] ---**
You always seem so happy.
**[05:45] ---**
I apologize, my lady!
**[05:47] ---**
No, I'm not criticizing.
**[05:49] ---**
You just seem so cheerful,
with no cares in the world. I envy you.
**[05:53] ---**
B-But you're usually...
**[05:56] ---**
that is, I mean to say...
**[05:59] ---**
At any rate, this traffic is
really at a standstill, isn't it?
**[06:02] ---**
What will we do if we're
stuck until nightfall?
**[06:22] ---**
But it could be fun, like camping, my lady--
**[06:27] ---**
My lady?
**[06:29] ---**
My lady!
**[07:12] ---**
Welcome.
**[07:18] ---**
E-Er...
**[07:20] ---**
That ring...
**[07:23] ---**
What a shame.
**[07:25] ---**
It did not select you as its owner.
**[07:32] ---**
However, your eyes...
**[07:36] ---**
E-Er...
**[07:38] ---**
Ciel is the only boy I...
**[07:42] ---**
Your eyes have a very deep, sorrowful color.
**[07:49] ---**
I can tell...
**[07:51] ---**
You are very sad.
**[08:03] ---**
I see, a birthday present...
**[08:06] ---**
I wanted Ciel to be pleased!
**[08:13] ---**
There are many things for sale here.
**[08:16] ---**
They are all quite wonderful.
**[08:38] ---**
I'll give you any one you like.
**[08:42] ---**
You may choose any of them.
**[08:44] ---**
But...
**[08:46] ---**
Yes, I understand.
**[08:48] ---**
These are all the same to you.
**[08:53] ---**
So I think to myself:
**[08:56] ---**
"Something different; a precious
present for a precious person."
**[09:01] ---**
The most suitable thing would be...
**[09:09] ---**
You yourself.
**[09:17] ---**
Elizabeth vanished?
**[09:19] ---**
Yes. Her personal maid says she
lost her on a street in Islington.
**[09:24] ---**
We'll head there immediately.
**[09:26] ---**
Good God, what is she thinking?
**[09:28] ---**
First, please look at this.
**[09:33] ---**
The kidnappings Scotland Yard
is frantically investigating
**[09:37] ---**
that only target young girls...
**[09:40] ---**
The girls' bodies haven't been found,
but they're most likely...
**[09:45] ---**
The criminal sends a Hope piece
**[09:47] ---**
to each victim in turn.
**[09:50] ---**
A piece of the diamond said
to bring ill luck to its owner...
**[09:56] ---**
I never thought the treasure I lost out on
**[09:58] ---**
would come up again in *this* connection.
**[10:01] ---**
What now, my lord?
**[10:04] ---**
We dispel Her Majesty's worries.
**[10:06] ---**
That's our first priority...
**[10:09] ---**
No matter what happens.
**[10:15] ---**
Please excuse me.
**[10:25] ---**
I apologize for keeping you waiting, Master.
**[10:31] ---**
The next doll...
**[10:35] ---**
♪ Build it up with wax and stone,
wax and stone, wax and stone. ♪
**[10:41] ---**
♪ Build it up with wax and
stone, my fair lady. ♪
**[10:47] ---**
Very good, Master.
**[10:56] ---**
Young master?
**[10:57] ---**
You open the carriage door.
**[11:00] ---**
My lord?
**[11:02] ---**
Question those who knew the victims
**[11:06] ---**
and come up with a suspect list.
**[11:09] ---**
Names, addresses. Then raid
the scene of the crime.
**[11:13] ---**
I'm sure three hours will be sufficient.
**[11:18] ---**
While you're doing that,
I'll take care of some trifling business.
**[11:22] ---**
That's all there is to it.
**[11:24] ---**
I see.
**[11:26] ---**
Get on with it.
**[11:28] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[11:42] ---**
It's pulsing! It's pulsing!
**[11:51] ---**
My gorgeous man radar is pulsing!
**[12:03] ---**
She said she lost Elizabeth
somewhere around here...
**[12:07] ---**
But why am I with *him*?!
**[12:12] ---**
Take this, my lord. It should be of some use.
**[12:18] ---**
For instance?
**[12:19] ---**
If necessary, use it to distract
the enemy while you run away.
**[12:26] ---**
Well, no matter.
**[12:28] ---**
You're a dog. You can at least
distinguish scents, can't you?
**[12:34] ---**
This is the ribbon from Lizzie's present.
**[12:41] ---**
Why you... Do you intend
to obey only Sebastian?!
**[12:51] ---**
Don't start rutting here!
**[12:55] ---**
Oh, my! A gentleman in rut?
My heart's going pitter-patter!
**[13:03] ---**
I am a hunter of love.
**[13:06] ---**
My heart is ablaze seeing
studly prey before me!
**[13:10] ---**
Red with heat, sending sparks flying!
**[13:14] ---**
*Red...*
**[13:19] ---**
I spy a gorgeous man!
**[13:34] ---**
You're...!
**[13:35] ---**
I'm a more *deadly* efficient
butler than I look!☆
**[13:41] ---**
Though I am currently without a master...
**[13:49] ---**
After the Madam Red incident
I was temporarily demoted,
**[13:53] ---**
and now I'm a lowly assistant.
**[13:56] ---**
That brute Will told me he
won't give me my old post back
**[13:59] ---**
until I collect some truly troublesome souls!
**[14:01] ---**
That rotten sadist!
**[14:04] ---**
Though it's true that food tastes
better when it's a little rotten...
**[14:09] ---**
And those cold eyes do give me a thrill!
**[14:13] ---**
But this boy's roughness is very nice, too.
**[14:19] ---**
Dear me.
**[14:20] ---**
Were you planning
to avenge your beloved aunt?
**[14:25] ---**
Shut up.
**[14:26] ---**
I don't see Sebas-*chan* here.
What can a little brat like you do?
**[14:31] ---**
Shut up!
**[14:35] ---**
Oh, is he your knight tonight?
**[14:37] ---**
Why does this nipper get
all the good-looking men?
**[14:42] ---**
Ah, he's going to attack!
**[14:44] ---**
At least be gentle!
**[14:48] ---**
Hey... Well, I never!
**[15:04] ---**
Lizzie!

*Lizzie is definitely in that mansion.*
**[16:05] ---**
Goodness, what a delightful estate.

**[16:15] ---**
*But right now...*
**[16:23] ---**
Grell. Protect me.
**[16:25] ---**
What?
**[16:26] ---**
I'll grant you any request.
**[16:29] ---**
Don't be insulting.
**[16:31] ---**
I'm not the sort
of cheap girl you can just pay--
**[16:33] ---**
I'll give you leave to do whatever
you wish with Sebastian for a day.
**[16:37] ---**
Hmm? Whatever I wish with Sebas-*chan* means...
**[16:41] ---**
I can even kiss him?!
**[16:43] ---**
Do as you like.
**[16:45] ---**
W-With tongue?!
**[16:47] ---**
Whatever you order him to do.

Huh?

*He disappeared after the fire.*

"His Butler, Forlorn"
**[03:00] ---**
You lost your mansion, you lost your parents,
**[03:05] ---**
and this time, will you lose Lady Elizabeth?
**[03:09] ---**
Sebastian!
**[03:13] ---**
Take that back, Sebastian.
**[03:15] ---**
Take what back?
**[03:16] ---**
That jeer!
**[03:18] ---**
Young master,
**[03:19] ---**
you told me you would be taking
care of some trifling business.
**[03:23] ---**
Was that "business" to dotingly
savor your wretched past
**[03:28] ---**
and wallow in the pleasures of humiliation?
**[03:33] ---**
Didn't you say at the frost fair
**[03:36] ---**
that your body and your ring
**[03:39] ---**
had already been shattered and reborn?
**[03:43] ---**
That you were far past
being afraid of shattering?
**[03:47] ---**
That's right. Don't recite
my words back to me.
**[03:52] ---**
--♪ Build it up with iron and steel,

**[04:03] ---**
--Was Grell defeated?
**[04:05] ---**

**[04:09] ---**
In that case...
**[04:12] ---**

**[04:32] ---**

**[04:40] ---**
Who are you calling a lady?
**[04:43] ---**
Let us depart, young master.
**[04:45] ---**
No.
**[04:47] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive is my
master's possession now.
**[04:52] ---**
"Possession"? I am not a--
**[04:54] ---**
The proof is the ring on your finger.
**[04:58] ---**
I can tell.
**[05:00] ---**
That Hope piece is a present my master sends
**[05:05] ---**
to those who will be made into dolls.
**[05:09] ---**
Your master?
**[05:10] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive will become a doll.
**[05:14] ---**
A doll made of silver and gold.
**[05:19] ---**
♪ Silver and gold will be stolen away,
stolen away, stolen away. ♪
**[05:37] ---**
He was stolen away...
**[05:41] ---**
So I thought to myself:
**[05:44] ---**
"Ciel Phantomhive will return."
**[05:56] ---**
Goodness me.
**[06:04] ---**
What about Lizzie?!
You still haven't saved her?!
**[06:08] ---**
I thought I ordered you
to solve the kidnappings.
**[06:12] ---**
Saving Lizzie, who fell victim
to the kidnappings, is the first--
**[06:16] ---**
An order is not the same as a contract.
**[06:19] ---**
Just as you give first priority
to orders from the Queen,
**[06:23] ---**
I prioritize your life.
**[06:29] ---**
I have devoted myself to your
service and protection all this time.
**[06:38] ---**
I couldn't stand for you
to be stolen from me now.
**[06:46] ---**
Young master?
**[06:47] ---**
It would seem the ring is
the mark of his next target.
**[06:52] ---**
And I have two of them.
**[06:54] ---**
Protecting me now will no
doubt require some effort.
**[07:01] ---**
Nevertheless, I shall...
**[07:07] ---**
Pluto?
**[07:08] ---**
I searched every corner of the mansion,
**[07:11] ---**
but there was no sign of Lady Elizabeth.
**[07:15] ---**
The only place left is that sealed-off tower.
**[07:28] ---**
Hey, now! What's the matter with you?!
**[07:33] ---**
You two are alive?
**[07:37] ---**
Sebas-*chan*!
**[07:43] ---**
Excuse me?!
**[07:45] ---**
Wait, could that be... a demon hound?
**[07:49] ---**
You just noticed?
**[07:53] ---**
Oh la la! A passionate night
with a beast! How immoral!
**[07:59] ---**
You're so wanton.
**[08:01] ---**
I've been waiting for you, Pluto.
**[08:07] ---**
Once the seal of the
underworld has been placed on a door,
**[08:10] ---**
only a hellhound can open it.
**[08:19] ---**
His collar is shining?
**[08:21] ---**
So is the door.
**[08:35] ---**
Too, too big!
**[08:43] ---**
He did it again!
**[08:44] ---**
It's all right.
**[08:47] ---**
Let's have him guide us.
**[09:38] ---**
Lizzie!
**[09:45] ---**
Lizzie...
**[09:47] ---**
Lizzie!
**[09:52] ---**
It looks like we were a little too late.
**[09:54] ---**
No...
**[09:56] ---**
Lizzie! Lizzie!
**[09:58] ---**
Lizzie!
**[10:04] ---**
Hmm...?
**[10:07] ---**
Lizzie...
**[10:09] ---**
Thank goodness.
**[10:11] ---**
The ring...
**[10:17] ---**
So you were pleased...
**[10:22] ---**
Ciel...
**[10:29] ---**
Then this was her gift for you.
**[10:33] ---**
But it's foolish. Why would you give me...
**[10:39] ---**
Yes, why?
**[10:43] ---**
Why does her body move
independent of her will?
**[10:49] ---**
And...
**[10:52] ---**
Why does she hurt the one she loves?
**[10:58] ---**
Elizabeth!
**[11:02] ---**
No!
**[11:06] ---**
No! No! No!
**[11:11] ---**
Grell. You can see this too, can't you?
**[11:14] ---**
I suppose. But I might chip my blades, so...
**[11:21] ---**
Please.
**[11:22] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan*! You're
asking me for something?
**[11:25] ---**
In that case, during the kiss,
can there be... can there be tongue?!
**[11:31] ---**
I haven't the faintest idea what you mean,
**[11:33] ---**
but in fact, I can tie a cherry
stem in a knot with my tongue.
**[11:37] ---**
Oh, yes!
**[11:42] ---**
It's unforgivable for a little girl like
you to have a better blade than me.
**[11:47] ---**
Stop, Grell!
**[11:55] ---**
Elizabeth...
**[12:00] ---**
It's a puppet string.
**[12:05] ---**
This sharp cut only comes with
a death scythe. Well, Sebas-*chan*?
**[12:09] ---**
I'm amazing, aren't I?
Compliment me, compliment me!
**[12:13] ---**
Good for you. Not just anyone
would run with scissors.
**[12:16] ---**
Oh, I'm flattered to death!☆
**[12:19] ---**
And the puppet string leads to...
**[12:25] ---**
So I thought to myself:
**[12:32] ---**
"What shall I use to make my new dolls?"
**[12:36] ---**
Then I'll ask you this--
what are you made of?
**[12:41] ---**
Hmm? What am I...
**[12:45] ---**
made of?
**[12:47] ---**
Yes. You see,
**[12:50] ---**
you don't seem to be made
of very high-quality materials.
**[12:54] ---**
So I thought to myself:
**[12:57] ---**
"I know I must be human,
**[13:00] ---**
and yet lately I often find
termites crawling out of my ears."
**[13:18] ---**
Grell.
**[13:19] ---**
Ah, a loving collaboration,
right, Sebas*-chan*?
**[13:27] ---**
I sense none of the way or
the style of a butler in you.
**[13:39] ---**
I would never lose to a man without style.
**[13:43] ---**
That's my Sebas-*chan*! So stylish!
**[13:46] ---**
So he was a doll, too?
**[13:48] ---**
Drossel Keinz. His soul was
collected five years ago.
**[13:53] ---**
But for some reason, we
detected signs of survival.
**[13:57] ---**
Someone must have fitted
him with a makeshift soul.
**[14:04] ---**
Ciel...
**[14:06] ---**
Elizabeth! Let's go home.
**[14:09] ---**
I want to... give you a birthday party...
**[14:19] ---**
Yes... Please do.
**[14:30] ---**
You can rest easy. It's all--
**[14:33] ---**
It's *not* all over, it appears.
**[14:36] ---**
So I thought to myself:
**[14:41] ---**
"I will report to my master."
**[14:48] ---**
What's wrong with him?
**[14:50] ---**
He's all torn up and he still
wants to serve his master?
**[14:54] ---**
I can understand.
**[14:56] ---**
You see, he's merely one hell of a butler.
**[14:59] ---**
Mas...ter...
**[15:16] ---**
Pluto!
**[15:21] ---**
Why is he being so friendly?
**[15:23] ---**
I'm very sorry.
**[15:25] ---**
My butler is so incompetent,
I'm unable to offer you hospitality.
**[15:30] ---**
So you're behind this.
Why would you make girls into dolls?
**[15:35] ---**
Flowers, eras, and also people
**[15:38] ---**
are only beautiful for finite moments.
**[15:41] ---**
Dollmaking is noble work,
preserving in this world
**[15:47] ---**
the most beautiful and perfect of people.
**[15:51] ---**
You've got awful taste!
What's so perfect about immature little--
**[15:55] ---**
Why are you after me?
**[15:58] ---**
I won't be made into a doll
and lovingly displayed somewhere!
**[16:08] ---**
Know your place, boy.
**[16:10] ---**
What?
**[16:11] ---**
My butler's head is made of straw.
**[16:15] ---**
I imagine he couldn't
understand why I wanted you.
**[16:20] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive, you were
fated to die from your very birth.
**[16:27] ---**
Your body is already unclean.
**[16:35] ---**
Why do you know that?
**[16:39] ---**
I cannot allow someone
like you to exist in this world.
**[16:46] ---**
Unclean, unnecessary, unfruitful...
**[16:51] ---**
And therefore I tried to snuff you out.
**[16:53] ---**
What?!
**[16:54] ---**
Snuff out the unclean.
The unnecessary, the unfruitful...
**[17:00] ---**
Snuff him out! Snuff him out!
Snuff him out! Snuff him out...!
**[17:04] ---**
Don't play games with me!
**[17:15] ---**
This is...
**[17:34] ---**
Catch it, Sebastian!
**[17:36] ---**
The person manipulating it
**[17:40] ---**
is not here, my lord.
**[17:42] ---**
I now notice that there were
invisible strings all over the room.
**[17:47] ---**
Not a very nice thing, I must say.
**[17:56] ---**
Sebas-*chan*!
**[18:00] ---**
Now for our passionate kiss!
**[18:05] ---**
What shall we do, young master?
**[18:08] ---**
Would you like me to avenge Madam Red now?
**[18:11] ---**
F-Fine, I'll leave your lips for next time!
**[18:15] ---**
Bye-bye! Smooch!
**[18:18] ---**
Stop--
**[18:19] ---**
No. Not today.
**[18:24] ---**
I don't want the scent of blood to
reach Elizabeth any more than it has.
**[18:37] ---**
Well, now...
**[18:39] ---**
It's his birthday today!
**[18:42] ---**
That one certainly wouldn't
be happy about a birthday.
**[18:46] ---**
I-I'm sorry, Sir Arthur!
**[18:48] ---**
I was looking into the Hope
diamond, and I got sidetracked...
**[18:52] ---**
You're not mistaken to investigate him.
**[18:55] ---**
Huh?
**[18:56] ---**
He gets special treatment--
**[18:58] ---**
he can get information even the Yard can't.
**[19:02] ---**
He wags his tail for the Queen
and marks all territory as his.
**[19:07] ---**
The Queen's damned guard dog...
**[19:10] ---**
The Queen's...?
**[19:20] ---**
Whoever he may be,
**[19:23] ---**
can a child who doesn't like
his birthday truly exist?
**[19:34] ---**
Happy birthday, Ciel!
**[19:39] ---**
Congratulations!
**[19:41] ---**
Congratulations, Ciel.
**[19:43] ---**
--Congratulations!
**[19:43] ---**
--Congratulations, yes!
***SIGN*** "Christmas Pudding"
**[19:47] ---**
I'll serve the pudding, then.
**[19:52] ---**
What a bother. You could
have cut it in the kitchen.
**[20:02] ---**
This is...
**[20:04] ---**
It's a Christmas pudding.
The season is almost upon us, after all.
**[20:08] ---**
If your portion contains a ring,
you are guaranteed happiness.
**[20:16] ---**
I'm so glad! He says you'll
be able to find happiness, Ciel!
**[20:20] ---**
I don't--
**[20:21] ---**
Paula! Ring the bells!
**[20:23] ---**
Yes, my lady!
**[20:25] ---**
Jingle, jingle...!
**[20:37] ---**
What's wrong with these people?
**[20:42] ---**
You see, I wanted Ciel to smile.
**[20:48] ---**
I wanted him to be happy... always...
**[20:54] ---**
always...
**[21:01] ---**
I know, my lady.
**[21:08] ---**
To think the ring I cast away
would come back again...
**[21:12] ---**
Regardless of the circumstances,
it was a gift for you from Lady Elizabeth.
**[21:17] ---**
And I will protect you
to the end, young master.
**[21:24] ---**
More importantly, what about that mansion?
**[21:28] ---**
It has been empty for quite a while,
since its owner, the Earl of Mandalay,
**[21:32] ---**
has been in a sanatorium for
long-term convalescents.
**[21:35] ---**
I suppose he has nothing
to do with this, then.
**[21:38] ---**
It would seem not.
**[21:41] ---**
Then that marking...
**[21:47] ---**
What's the matter, my lord?
**[21:49] ---**
Nothing. I'm going to bed. I'm tired.
**[21:54] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[22:01] ---**
Snuff out the unclean!
Snuff out the unnecessary!
**[22:05] ---**
Snuff out the unfruitful!
Snuff out the unclean!
**[22:09] ---**
Snuff out the unnecessary!
**[22:11] ---**
Snuff out the unclean!
**[22:13] ---**
--Snuff out the unclean!
**[22:13] ---**
--Snuff out the unnecessary.
Snuff out the unfruitful.
**[22:20] ---**
Snuff out the unclean.
**[22:30] ---**
Snuff him out.

Gorgeous.
**[00:14] ---**
It's cold... Agni, what is this?
**[00:18] ---**
It is called "snow," and falls in
England during the winter, my prince.
**[00:22] ---**
Snow?
**[00:25] ---**
England, eh? It's a beautiful place.

"His Butler, Freeloader"
**[02:08] ---**
"This fellow is the child
of craziness and laziness.
**[02:13] ---**
England is the blasphemous
country that has taken all,
**[02:15] ---**
and forced on us,
in arrogant ways, its rotten culture.
**[02:18] ---**
Retribution should befall the fools
of the country that the hellcat rules."
**[02:23] ---**
This is the twentieth one!
**[02:25] ---**
You still can't catch this
criminal, Abberline?!
**[02:29] ---**
I-I apologize, Sir Arthur.
**[02:31] ---**
And we couldn't catch Jack the Ripper,
**[02:34] ---**
so the brat got all the credit...!
**[02:37] ---**
"Brat"? Do you mean Ciel Phantomhive?
**[02:41] ---**
I can't help but get the feeling
that he carries some awful burden.
**[02:47] ---**
And he's still just a child...
**[02:50] ---**
A child?
**[02:52] ---**
So all the victims had just
come home from India, then?
**[02:55] ---**
Ciel?!
**[02:57] ---**
No one seems to have died yet.
**[03:01] ---**
"The child of craziness and laziness"...
**[03:04] ---**
He does have a way with words.
**[03:07] ---**
I agree that our country
would be rather improved
**[03:10] ---**
if all these nouveaux riches
fresh back from India disappeared.
**[03:13] ---**
Still, this mark...
**[03:16] ---**
He's mocking the Queen and all Englishmen!
**[03:20] ---**
He must be Indian!
**[03:22] ---**
Ah, so that's why I was called in?
**[03:27] ---**
Most of the Indians who've
come here illegally
**[03:29] ---**
hole up in the criminal
neighborhoods of the East End.
**[03:32] ---**
The Yard still hasn't learned their
exact number or their route, has it?
**[03:39] ---**
I can't allow Her Majesty to
continue suffering such indignity.
**[03:44] ---**
Let's go, Sebastian.
**[03:46] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[03:54] ---**
I believe the Indians use
this area as their base.
**[03:58] ---**
Yes.
**[04:00] ---**
That hurt!
**[04:02] ---**
That hurt! I've cracked a rib!
**[04:05] ---**
I'm done for! I might die!
**[04:07] ---**
Hey, what's wrong?!
**[04:08] ---**
That's awful! He needs
to compensate you for that!
**[04:11] ---**
Leave us everything you have.
**[04:14] ---**
We've been caught by very clichéd thugs.
**[04:17] ---**
What shall we do, young master?
**[04:19] ---**
Hurry up and get rid of them.
**[04:21] ---**
Certainly.
**[04:22] ---**
Everybody in this place hates you Britishers!
**[04:30] ---**
Are you hurt?
**[04:32] ---**
No.
**[04:33] ---**
You little bastard!
**[04:35] ---**
You drag us here and then
you toss us away like rubbish!
**[04:39] ---**
You people trampled your
filth all over our homeland!
**[04:43] ---**
Now *you* find out how
humiliating it is being looted!
**[04:45] ---**
Wait.
**[04:47] ---**
I'm looking for someone.
**[04:49] ---**
Have you seen an Indian who looks like this?
**[04:55] ---**
Who the hell are you?! Stay out of this!
**[04:57] ---**
Are you dueling?
**[05:01] ---**
He has a *khansama* with him...
**[05:04] ---**
Are you an English nobleman?
**[05:06] ---**
What if I am?
**[05:07] ---**
Then I will side with my countrymen.
**[05:11] ---**
Agni!
**[05:12] ---**
Yes?
**[05:13] ---**
Defeat them.
**[05:15] ---**
*Jo ājñā*.
**[05:16] ---**
I shall brandish the right hand the
heavens bestowed on me for my master.
**[05:37] ---**
He's fast.
**[05:40] ---**
I've hit your vital points over and over.
**[05:43] ---**
A normal person's arms would have
gone numb. Why can you still move?
**[05:47] ---**
We were just walking down the street!
**[05:51] ---**
Are Indians savages who will attack
any Englishman that wanders by?
**[05:55] ---**
What?
**[05:56] ---**
Did you fellows attack
Shorty here for no reason?
**[06:01] ---**
That's no good. My countrymen
are in the wrong this time.
**[06:05] ---**
Agni! Side with the kid.
**[06:08] ---**
At once.
**[06:13] ---**
I've finished, Prince Soma.
**[06:15] ---**
Good.
**[06:17] ---**
Well, then. I'm looking for someone,
so I'll be on my way.
**[06:21] ---**
Ta-ta.
**[06:23] ---**
The streets of England
are too much like a maze!
**[06:26] ---**
Let's turn left next.
**[06:30] ---**
That was a waste of energy.
**[06:32] ---**
One of those Indians might be the criminal.
**[06:36] ---**
Let's wait for Sir Arthur to contact us.
**[06:39] ---**
Young master.
**[06:40] ---**
Welcome home!
**[06:42] ---**
Yes!
**[06:42] ---**
I'll never get any peace
**[06:44] ---**
if I'm called to London
for every silly little thing.
**[06:47] ---**
My lord, you're really here!
**[06:51] ---**
You're just dropping in unannounced?!
**[06:52] ---**
How often have I told you to at
least send a note before you visit?!
**[06:57] ---**
Ah, I vaguely remember that.
**[06:58] ---**
As we have a guest, why don't I serve tea?
**[07:03] ---**
Might as well.
**[07:04] ---**
I'd rather have chai than English tea.
**[07:06] ---**
Might as well.
**[07:11] ---**
Wh-Wha...?!
**[07:12] ---**
Oh, I met them on a street corner.
**[07:15] ---**
They said they wanted to see you.
**[07:16] ---**
What are *you* doing here?!
**[07:18] ---**
Why, we're acquaintances now.
**[07:21] ---**
Have you forgotten already?
**[07:23] ---**
"Acquaintances"?
**[07:24] ---**
And I saved you, too.
**[07:26] ---**
"Saved"? Excuse me?!
**[07:28] ---**
In India, it's the common practice to
invite your savior home and entertain him.
**[07:33] ---**
Is it the British way to kick
one's savior out into the cold?
**[07:38] ---**
Just who are you, anyhow?!
**[07:41] ---**
Me?
**[07:42] ---**
I'm a prince.
**[07:44] ---**
Prince?
**[07:45] ---**
This is the 26th child of the king of Bengal,
**[07:50] ---**
Prince Soma Asman Kadar.
**[07:52] ---**
Thanks for hosting me here, Shorty.
**[07:55] ---**
Wow, you're a prince?!
**[07:57] ---**
A-A prince!
**[07:59] ---**
I've never seen a prince up close before!
**[08:02] ---**
You may approach.
**[08:05] ---**
What's that "Penkal" place like, yes?!
**[08:08] ---**
It's a holy land blessed by the
goddess Kali and the Ganges River.
**[08:13] ---**
So you brought the other
servants with you this time?
**[08:16] ---**
Yes. Our guard dog is watching the mansion.
**[08:19] ---**
Ah, that should be all right, then.
**[08:24] ---**
Sebastian, don't let them out of your sight.
**[08:28] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[08:32] ---**
It's time to wake up, Lord Phantomhive.
**[08:35] ---**
"Lord Phantomhive"?
**[08:38] ---**
*Namaste jī*, Lord Phantomhive.
**[08:40] ---**
Wh-Why are you in my room?!
**[08:43] ---**
We're going out, Shorty. Show us around town.
**[08:46] ---**
Why should I?!
**[08:48] ---**
And my name isn't "Shorty"! It's "Ciel"!
**[08:51] ---**
All right, Ciel, I order you
to show me around town.
**[08:54] ---**
Come.
**[08:55] ---**
Pardon me.
**[08:57] ---**
My apologies, but my
master's schedule for the day
**[09:00] ---**
is filled with study and work.
**[09:05] ---**
I shall be your tutor while
we are in London, my lord.
**[09:12] ---**
Bach's Chaconne?
**[09:14] ---**
I can't play something this difficult...
**[09:17] ---**
I make the rules here.
**[09:19] ---**
Do you have a problem
with my teaching methods?
**[09:32] ---**
Yes, that's very good.
**[09:42] ---**
What is *that*?
**[09:47] ---**
They seem to be praying,
but it's quite a surreal idol, isn't it?
**[09:52] ---**
To me it merely looks
like the statue of a woman
**[09:56] ---**
carrying a severed head,
wearing a necklace of severed heads,
**[10:00] ---**
and dancing madly on top
of a man's stomach...
**[10:02] ---**
She is Kali, a goddess of our Hindu faith.
**[10:06] ---**
A goddess of India?
**[10:08] ---**
Kali is the wife of Shiva
and the goddess of power.
**[10:13] ---**
Long ago, a demon rashly
challenged her to a fight.
**[10:18] ---**
Naturally, she was victorious.
**[10:21] ---**
However, afterwards her
destructive urges were not quelled,
**[10:25] ---**
and she abandoned herself
to destruction and carnage.
**[10:28] ---**
But then! To protect the earth,
**[10:30] ---**
her husband Shiva threw himself at her feet!
**[10:36] ---**
Treading on her husband with her unclean feet
**[10:38] ---**
brought Kali back to her senses,
**[10:40] ---**
and peace returned to the world.
**[10:43] ---**
Kali is a great goddess who defeated
the demon after a desperate battle.
**[10:48] ---**
As proof, she carries the demon's head.
**[10:51] ---**
There you have it.
**[10:53] ---**
Hmm, I wasn't aware of anyone so strong.
**[10:55] ---**
I'll have to take care if I travel to India.
**[10:58] ---**
Now, then. Since we're done praying,
it's time to go out!
**[11:02] ---**
I told you, I'm busy!
**[11:06] ---**
Honestly, when are you going to finish?
**[11:10] ---**
I say, what are you doing?
**[11:12] ---**
I say!
**[11:14] ---**
Be quiet, you're distracting me!
**[11:16] ---**
Britishers are so short-tempered.
**[11:20] ---**
All right, fine!
**[11:21] ---**
If you want my attention
that badly, I'll oblige!
**[11:26] ---**
Then if I win, you'll go
out on the town with me.
**[11:29] ---**
*If* you can win.
**[11:30] ---**
I wish you luck.
**[11:34] ---**
Begin!
**[11:37] ---**
You're mine!
**[11:40] ---**
It bent?!
**[11:42] ---**
Hitting someone's legs
with a foil has no effect.
**[11:45] ---**
You're not fair! I don't know the rules!
**[11:48] ---**
A fight is a fight. It's
your fault for not knowing.
**[11:52] ---**
Your Highness, look out!
**[12:00] ---**
L-Lord Phantomhive! I'm so sorry.
**[12:04] ---**
When I saw the prince losing,
my reflexes took over...
**[12:08] ---**
Good job protecting your
master, Agni. I commend you.
**[12:12] ---**
Agni is my *khansama*. He belongs to me.
**[12:15] ---**
In other words, I win.
**[12:17] ---**
B-But...!
**[12:18] ---**
My, my.
**[12:20] ---**
Butler, it looks like
you'll have to avenge your master.
**[12:26] ---**
For goodness' sake...
**[12:28] ---**
This is what you get for provoking
a novice who doesn't know the rules.
**[12:32] ---**
However, as the Phantomhive butler,
**[12:36] ---**
I cannot remain quiet when
someone harms my master.
**[12:41] ---**
And more importantly, we're a full
ten minutes behind schedule now.
**[12:43] ---**
That's what you really care about, isn't it?
**[12:46] ---**
Interesting. All right, I'll allow a duel.
**[12:50] ---**
Agni, in the name of Kali,
make sure you don't lose.
**[12:55] ---**
Sebastian, this is an
order: shut that brat up!
**[13:04] ---**
*Jo ājñā*.
**[13:05] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[14:01] ---**
Good grief. The swords broke.
**[14:03] ---**
So it's a draw.
**[14:06] ---**
Your *khansama's* not bad, Ciel.
**[14:09] ---**
*A draw? Against Sebastian?!*
**[14:13] ---**
Agni is the best warrior in my palace.
**[14:16] ---**
I've never seen anyone fight
him on equal terms before!
**[14:20] ---**
*He fought a demon on equal terms...*
**[14:26] ---**
Sebastian, who is that man?
**[14:30] ---**
Don't tell me he's another...
**[14:31] ---**
*I'm a more deadly efficient
butler than I look!☆*
**[14:32] ---**
No, he's a deadly human.☆
**[14:36] ---**
I see... But with that much power...
**[14:40] ---**
Yes. He could easily hang men upside-down.
**[14:46] ---**
All right! Today I'll whip up my very best--
**[14:50] ---**
I'll cook.
**[14:52] ---**
You behave yourself.
**[14:55] ---**
Excuse me?! I was going to make my special--
**[14:59] ---**
Sebastian?
**[15:01] ---**
I was wondering
if I could be of any service.
**[15:04] ---**
You just relax and enjoy yourself.
**[15:07] ---**
Two can work much faster than one.
**[15:10] ---**
Please, ask me for anything.
**[15:12] ---**
In that case, could you make a cottage pie
**[15:14] ---**
and some gooseberry sauce
for tonight's main dish?
**[15:18] ---**
Of course.
**[15:19] ---**
Hey! Why are you letting
him cook but not the chef?!
**[15:23] ---**
Hey, are you listening to me?!
**[15:24] ---**
So much to do, so much to do...
**[15:35] ---**
Chef? Mr. Chef?
**[15:38] ---**
"Chef"? You mean me?!
**[15:41] ---**
Yes.
**[15:43] ---**
Chef...
**[15:45] ---**
I'm not accustomed to English cooking.
**[15:48] ---**
Might I ask for your help?
**[15:50] ---**
S-Sure! Leave it to me!
**[15:57] ---**
What's for supper?
**[15:59] ---**
Perfect timing, young man!
**[16:02] ---**
Would you help us prepare the evening meal?
**[16:04] ---**
What? Me?
**[16:06] ---**
But I don't know my own strength,
**[16:09] ---**
so Sebastian says I can't
touch the kitchen stuff...
**[16:12] ---**
So you're strong. Excellent!
**[16:14] ---**
We need to mash and
then puree these potatoes,
**[16:17] ---**
but it's a lot of work.
**[16:19] ---**
Even I might be able to do that!
**[16:22] ---**
I want to! Please let me!
**[16:30] ---**
Look out!
**[16:33] ---**
Are you hurt, Miss Maid?
**[16:35] ---**
No, no!
**[16:37] ---**
Perhaps it would be best if you
took down the plates one at a time.
**[16:42] ---**
Y-Yes, yes!
**[16:44] ---**
How is it coming along, Agni?
**[16:54] ---**
Thanks to everyone's help,
I believe it will be delicious.
**[17:01] ---**
I'm amazed you got them to help.
**[17:05] ---**
Everyone is born with their own talents.
**[17:09] ---**
They have a path and a duty
revealed by the gods.
**[17:12] ---**
We children of the Divine Mother
need only to follow her will
**[17:15] ---**
and do our appointed tasks.
**[17:17] ---**
You are a man of fine character.
**[17:20] ---**
Not at all.
**[17:21] ---**
I was a hopeless
fool before I met the prince.
**[17:27] ---**
I owe him more than I can ever repay.
**[17:30] ---**
I hurt people, blasphemed against the gods,
**[17:34] ---**
committed crime upon crime.
**[17:36] ---**
And the day finally came
for me to be punished.
**[17:42] ---**
I had no particular attachment to this world.
**[17:45] ---**
You there! I hear you're a wild
man as strong as a beast of prey.
**[17:49] ---**
Interesting!
**[17:57] ---**
As of now, the man you were is dead.
**[18:00] ---**
It's time to be reborn with
a new name and a new life!
**[18:03] ---**
I didn't even believe in the gods.
**[18:06] ---**
I had forsaken everything, and yet...
**[18:08] ---**
Do you understand, Agni?
**[18:11] ---**
A god appeared before me!
**[18:14] ---**
That day, I plainly saw the divine in him,
**[18:17] ---**
in all its sublime radiance!
**[18:21] ---**
Agni, your pot is boiling over.
**[18:23] ---**
The prince is my sovereign and my god.
**[18:26] ---**
He gave me new life; I want
to protect him with my life
**[18:30] ---**
and make as many of his
wishes as I can come true.
**[18:36] ---**
The actual gods are a bunch of
good-for-nothings, if you ask me.
**[18:41] ---**
Pardon?
**[18:42] ---**
Oh, nothing.
**[18:49] ---**
How long do you people intend to stay here?!
**[18:52] ---**
We'll leave when our business is finished.
**[18:54] ---**
Come to think of it, you said you
were searching for someone, right?
**[18:57] ---**
And why are *you* staying here too?
**[18:59] ---**
An interesting question.
**[19:01] ---**
I'm looking for a woman.
**[19:03] ---**
Her name is Mina.
**[19:05] ---**
She was a servant at my palace.
**[19:07] ---**
Sebastian, does that
give you enough to find her?
**[19:11] ---**
Even I can't do much with this...
**[19:14] ---**
I'll try my best.
**[19:15] ---**
And? What is she doing in England?
**[19:18] ---**
Mina was my attendant...
**[19:21] ---**
more or less my nursemaid.
**[19:23] ---**
She'd been with me ever
since I could remember.
**[19:26] ---**
My father and mother
never even looked my way.
**[19:30] ---**
I was always alone in the palace...
**[19:32] ---**
But Mina always stayed at my side.
**[19:36] ---**
But... a British nobleman with his eye on her
**[19:40] ---**
kidnapped her and took her
to England while I was away!
**[19:44] ---**
In other words, you came
here to get this woman back?
**[19:48] ---**
Yes. I'll get her back and bring
her home with me, no matter what!
**[19:51] ---**
That's a lot of fuss over one servant.
**[19:54] ---**
No, it's not!
**[19:57] ---**
Can you even comprehend my
despair at being separated from her?!
**[20:00] ---**
Can you imagine how much I--
**[20:02] ---**
No, I can't.
**[20:03] ---**
The kind of trifling despair
something like *that* could inspire?
**[20:09] ---**
I can't understand it, and I don't care to.
**[20:16] ---**
Some things no amount
of struggling will get back.
**[20:20] ---**
And some despair can't ever be escaped.
**[20:24] ---**
Maybe you can't understand that, though.
**[20:30] ---**
But... But still, I don't want this!
**[20:34] ---**
I don't want to be alone in that palace!
**[20:37] ---**
*No amount of struggling will get it back.*
**[20:50] ---**
Even you must know how to play Old Maid.
**[20:56] ---**
I'm finished for today.
**[20:59] ---**
I'll play with you until bedtime.
**[21:03] ---**
Ciel...
**[21:04] ---**
It's not to make you happy.
**[21:07] ---**
I'm just keeping you
company because I'm bored.
**[21:13] ---**
Sorry, but I have plans.
**[21:17] ---**
Unlike you, I'm a busy man.
**[21:19] ---**
Agni! We're going out.
**[21:21] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[21:28] ---**
If you don't go to bed early,
you'll never get taller, Shorty!
**[21:32] ---**
Ta-ta!
**[21:38] ---**
Oh, there you are. Say, my lord...
**[21:42] ---**
What?!
**[21:44] ---**
No clues today either, eh?
**[21:46] ---**
Let's go looking again tomorrow.
**[21:52] ---**
So they're back.
**[21:53] ---**
I have to say those two are very suspicious.
**[21:56] ---**
Well, yes, but I don't see how
they'd benefit from those crimes.
**[22:01] ---**
They don't seem to bear much
of a grudge over colonial rule.
**[22:06] ---**
And if they *are* doing it,
**[22:08] ---**
would they waltz right by me on
their way to commit the crimes?
**[22:12] ---**
It's like begging me to suspect them.
**[22:14] ---**
True. Then maybe they really
are just looking for someone?
**[22:19] ---**
It's still too soon to say.
**[22:28] ---**
I knew he'd make a move.
**[24:05] ---**
*The true face of Agni that no one knows...*
**[24:08] ---**
*A deer?*
**[24:10] ---**
*No matter what reasons he may have,*
**[24:12] ---**
*hiding things from his master
disqualifies him as a butler.*
**[24:15] ---**
*There's nothing hidden behind my face.*
**[24:19] ---**
*If you like, you can peel it off and see.*
**[24:22] ---**
*Here we go-- peel!*
**[24:24] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Supremely Talented."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next time" "His Butler, Supremely Talented."

**[00:12] ---**
He's on the move, young master.
**[00:14] ---**
All right. Let's follow him.
**[00:16] ---**
Take me with you!
**[00:18] ---**
You...?!
**[00:19] ---**
I've known all along that Agni
was going out after I went to bed.
**[00:23] ---**
I want to know what he's doing!
**[00:36] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[00:42] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[00:49] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[00:54] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[00:57] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[01:01] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[01:09] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[01:15] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[01:21] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[01:27] ---**
*But the night ignores
that wish and brings morning*
**[01:34] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[01:41] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[01:44] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[01:59] ---**
"His Butler, Supremely Talented"
**[02:05] ---**
Who lives here?
**[02:07] ---**
This is Harold West Jeb's estate.
**[02:10] ---**
He handles a wide range of
import goods from India.
**[02:13] ---**
He also owns stores, a
coffeehouse, and the like.
**[02:16] ---**
I've met him once.
**[02:18] ---**
He's disgustingly obsessed with status.
**[02:21] ---**
People at his coffeehouse were
trussed and hung upside-down,
**[02:26] ---**
but since Mr. West, its representative,
happened to be away,
**[02:30] ---**
he escaped unharmed.
**[02:32] ---**
*Happened* to be away, eh?
**[02:35] ---**
Shall we have a look?
**[02:37] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[02:49] ---**
Why not have a Scotch and relax?
**[02:53] ---**
It's top-notch Scotch
from Justerini & Brooks,
**[02:56] ---**
holders of the Royal Warrant.
**[03:00] ---**
Our plans so far have been perfect.
**[03:04] ---**
You've done well for me, Agni.
**[03:07] ---**
You don't have to string up any more people.
**[03:09] ---**
We've crushed all of my major rivals.
**[03:14] ---**
With this godly right hand,
**[03:16] ---**
the Royal Warrant is as good as mine.
**[03:20] ---**
Royal Warrant?
**[03:23] ---**
So that's what this is about.
**[03:24] ---**
And if I carry out this
plan as promised, Mina will...?
**[03:29] ---**
Mina?!
**[03:31] ---**
Who are you?!
**[03:32] ---**
Prince Soma!
**[03:35] ---**
They'll recognize us.
**[03:38] ---**
Let's watch and wait.
**[03:40] ---**
Agni! You've known where Mina was?!
**[03:44] ---**
Oh, so that's your master?
**[03:49] ---**
You must be the one who took Mina away!
**[03:52] ---**
Agni! Defeat him!
**[03:57] ---**
Agni, what are you waiting for?
**[04:00] ---**
We'll take that stupid prince
and withdraw for now.
**[04:04] ---**
But West will recognize the two of you.
**[04:07] ---**
Please, leave it to me.
**[04:08] ---**
Agni, hit him to make him shut up.
**[04:12] ---**
What?!
**[04:17] ---**
Agni.
**[04:24] ---**
*Agni!*
**[04:31] ---**
"Deer"
**[04:33] ---**
--"A deer?"
**[04:33] ---**
--A deer?
**[04:36] ---**
Wh-Who the devil is this deer man?!
**[04:40] ---**
I am a deer who has come
to take this prince home.
**[04:45] ---**
H-He might be an enemy spy!
**[04:47] ---**
Agni!
**[04:49] ---**
No, I am merely one hell of a deer--
**[04:51] ---**
Kill him!
**[04:53] ---**
You don't mind if your
promise goes to waste?!
**[04:56] ---**
Do it!
**[05:03] ---**
I have only one god...
**[05:05] ---**
only one master.
**[05:08] ---**
I vowed to myself that I'd only
brandish this fist for my god's sake.
**[05:12] ---**
For the crime of betraying that god...
**[05:15] ---**
Please forgive me!
**[05:16] ---**
Agni, don't tell me you're...?
**[05:30] ---**
The crystal glasses I bought at Thomas Goode!
**[05:32] ---**
My Royal Worcester centerpiece!
**[05:34] ---**
--My Tiffany stained glass!
**[05:36] ---**
--It looks like trouble in there.
**[05:40] ---**
Let's make our escape.
**[05:42] ---**
Hey! We'll attract attention
if this commotion keeps up!
**[05:45] ---**
Take him and get out of here!
**[05:48] ---**
Certainly.
**[05:59] ---**
That man was superhuman.
**[06:03] ---**
It's Samadhi, a state
of mental concentration.
**[06:07] ---**
When he gets like that, no one can touch him.
**[06:09] ---**
"Samadhi"?
**[06:10] ---**
I imagine it's a type of trance.
**[06:13] ---**
He's producing superhuman power
**[06:17] ---**
through his absolute faith in his master.
**[06:20] ---**
It's the power of faith, born from
believing in and loving someone.
**[06:24] ---**
A power we can never have.
**[06:27] ---**
Then why would he betray me?
**[06:30] ---**
Why do the people close to me always leave?!
**[06:36] ---**
Why, you...
**[06:39] ---**
Why? Why?!
**[06:45] ---**
Oh, just look at the
Haviland tea set I ordered
**[06:50] ---**
thinking it would suit my lord...
**[06:52] ---**
It would seem I must retrain him a little.
**[07:10] ---**
How rude!
**[07:11] ---**
Which of us is the rude one?
**[07:13] ---**
This is England, and the residence
of the Earl Phantomhive.
**[07:17] ---**
You have no right to give me any orders here.
**[07:22] ---**
You're just an ordinary brat.
**[07:25] ---**
You're a helpless child who
can't do anything without Agni.
**[07:29] ---**
And even he, your pillar of strength,
has betrayed you.
**[07:32] ---**
You're right. I have nothing now.
**[07:36] ---**
I've lost everything.
**[07:40] ---**
Lost? What a tiresome
persecution mania you have.
**[07:44] ---**
You didn't "lose" anything.
**[07:47] ---**
You never had anything to
begin with, isn't that right?
**[07:50] ---**
What?
**[07:53] ---**
The status you got from your parents.
**[07:55] ---**
The castle you got from your parents.
**[07:57] ---**
The servant you got from your parents.
**[08:00] ---**
You've never owned a single
thing in your life.
**[08:05] ---**
Am I right?
**[08:06] ---**
You're wrong...
**[08:08] ---**
The truth is, some part
of you knew about Agni.
**[08:12] ---**
But you didn't even have the
courage to find out on your own.
**[08:15] ---**
You're wrong...
**[08:17] ---**
You're wrong! You're wrong! You're wrong!
**[08:25] ---**
You know I'm not wrong.
**[08:27] ---**
Posing as the tragic hero
**[08:29] ---**
now that you've been forced to see reality?
**[08:32] ---**
You're truly a hopeless brat.
**[08:37] ---**
They all promised they'd
stay with me forever...
**[08:39] ---**
That was lip service, obviously.
**[08:42] ---**
They wouldn't serve someone
they got nothing from in return.
**[08:46] ---**
In the slums, even a
three-year-old would know that.
**[08:49] ---**
No one actually loved you.
**[08:53] ---**
That's enough of that.
**[08:55] ---**
Young master?
**[08:56] ---**
Maybe I would've been the same way,
**[09:00] ---**
if it hadn't been for that month.
**[09:05] ---**
"That month"?
**[09:07] ---**
My family was killed,
my home was burned down,
**[09:11] ---**
and I suffered humiliation
worse than you'd inflict on a beast.
**[09:15] ---**
I was helpless. A child.
**[09:18] ---**
But I came back here,
**[09:20] ---**
to make the people who did all that
to me suffer the same humiliation.
**[09:25] ---**
If the Phantomhives
**[09:27] ---**
are a nuisance
to those who killed my parents,
**[09:33] ---**
then if I stay the family head,
they'll eventually come after me.
**[09:38] ---**
I'm waiting for them to come here to kill me.
**[09:43] ---**
Why would you go that far?
**[09:46] ---**
What good would melancholy and grief do me?
**[09:50] ---**
Even a dead person can
stand still and do nothing.
**[09:53] ---**
But I'm alive and standing on my own power.
**[09:57] ---**
If I'm going to die someday,
I might as well do it without regrets.
**[10:01] ---**
I won't use high-sounding
words like "revenge."
**[10:04] ---**
This is all just to please me.
**[10:06] ---**
It's a game to see whether I win or they win.
**[10:11] ---**
Even if I'm plunged to the depths of despair,
**[10:15] ---**
if there's a spider's thread
there that I can crawl up,
**[10:18] ---**
I'll take hold of it without giving up.
**[10:21] ---**
We humans have the strength for that.
**[10:26] ---**
It's up to each person whether
they grab the thread or not, though.
**[10:30] ---**
Enough idle talk.
**[10:32] ---**
Sebastian, I need to talk to you about West.
**[10:35] ---**
Come.
**[10:36] ---**
Of course.
**[10:39] ---**
*It's up to each person whether
they grab it or not...*
**[10:43] ---**
Ciel!
**[10:45] ---**
I'm seventeen, but compared to
you I'm so stupid and ignorant!
**[10:50] ---**
I've just let myself be spoiled by
the easy life my parents gave me...
**[10:55] ---**
I knew Agni was worrying about something,
**[10:57] ---**
yet I didn't even ask him about it!
**[11:00] ---**
But I want to know now.
**[11:02] ---**
I want to see them both in person
and find out for sure why they left me!
**[11:06] ---**
So please! Let me come with you!
**[11:09] ---**
No.
**[11:09] ---**
"Ruthless"
**[11:11] ---**
I don't want to chaperone
a simpleton like you.
**[11:15] ---**
Still, it's not as though the
drawing room door has a lock.
**[11:21] ---**
Ciel!
**[11:24] ---**
I'm sorry I vented by
breaking the cups earlier.
**[11:28] ---**
Please forgive me.
**[11:31] ---**
I-I'm sorry to you too...
**[11:34] ---**
Don't mention it. I find you interesting.
**[11:39] ---**
I didn't predict that West
would be after a Royal Warrant.
**[11:42] ---**
Though it *is* something a man
obsessed with status would think of...
**[11:46] ---**
What is a Royal Warrant?
**[11:50] ---**
It's when the royal family officially
endorses their favorite shops.
**[11:54] ---**
The Royal Warrant holders
are purveyors to the Crown.
**[11:58] ---**
One week from now, a curry
exhibition will be held
**[12:03] ---**
as part of the festivities
at the Crystal Palace.
**[12:06] ---**
Curry?
**[12:07] ---**
Yes. I'm told that Her Majesty,
a celebrated lover of curry,
**[12:11] ---**
will be in attendance.
**[12:13] ---**
It's just a rumor.
**[12:15] ---**
Ever since her husband Prince Albert died,
**[12:19] ---**
she almost never appears in public.
**[12:21] ---**
What's the connection between
the curry exhibition and the crimes?
**[12:25] ---**
Curry is the main attraction
at West's coffeehouse.
**[12:29] ---**
If he gets a Royal Warrant for his curry,
his sales are certain to go up.
**[12:34] ---**
In other words, he was using
Agni to commit those crimes
**[12:38] ---**
in order to crush his
rivals in the curry show.
**[12:42] ---**
Those insults to England were
written to make us think
**[12:46] ---**
it was done by an Indian with
a grudge against the British.
**[12:51] ---**
He used Mina
**[12:53] ---**
to make Agni do his dirty work, I imagine...
**[12:58] ---**
For the sake of his god.
**[13:02] ---**
Your people worship Kali, the
goddess who sticks out her tongue.
**[13:06] ---**
And Agni, the man who drew this, worships...
**[13:10] ---**
He did it all for you.
**[13:12] ---**
I suppose he poured all his prayer
and apology into those letters.
**[13:15] ---**
Even after leaving you,
**[13:18] ---**
Agni believes in you and lives for you.
**[13:22] ---**
You have a fine butler.
**[13:25] ---**
Agni!
**[13:27] ---**
Well, what a happy ending!
**[13:30] ---**
All right, our work here is done.
**[13:33] ---**
Now we can leave the rest to the Yard...
**[13:35] ---**
Wait! Then what will happen to Agni and Mina?
**[13:39] ---**
Who knows?
**[13:40] ---**
We've established the criminal
underworld isn't behind this.
**[13:43] ---**
It has nothing to do with us.
**[13:46] ---**
I know this is my problem.
**[13:50] ---**
I'll try to think of a
way to solve it myself.
**[13:53] ---**
Excellent attitude.
**[13:54] ---**
I suppose I'll do my duty as well, then.
**[13:58] ---**
I was called to London in the
winter because of these silly crimes.
**[14:02] ---**
Don't you think I deserve a
little something for that?
**[14:07] ---**
Fortunately, thanks to West,
**[14:10] ---**
the famous curry places won't
be able to enter the competition.
**[14:15] ---**
So if our company enters
and wins against West,
**[14:20] ---**
the Royal Warrant is ours.
**[14:24] ---**
I'd just been thinking of
expanding the business into foodstuffs.
**[14:28] ---**
If I start by winning a
Warrant in the curry show,
**[14:32] ---**
it's sure to generate buzz.
**[14:34] ---**
But you only have a week.
**[14:36] ---**
Can you get your curry experts
and equipment in time?
**[14:40] ---**
I don't need those.
**[14:42] ---**
Do I, Sebastian?
**[14:47] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do that much isn't worth his salt.
**[14:52] ---**
I promise you I will get
a Royal Warrant for--
**[14:54] ---**
That's impossible.
**[14:55] ---**
There's no way you could win.
**[14:57] ---**
They have Agni!
**[15:00] ---**
He has the godly right hand of Kali!
**[15:16] ---**
Yes, Agni is a remarkable fighter,
**[15:19] ---**
but this isn't a combat sport;
it's a cooking competition.
**[15:23] ---**
That's my point.
**[15:24] ---**
You don't know Agni's true power.
**[15:28] ---**
You don't know true curry!
**[15:30] ---**
"True curry"?
**[15:36] ---**
The key to curry is the mixture of spices.
**[15:38] ---**
The possibilities are infinite.
**[15:40] ---**
Choosing the best combination among
them is an extremely difficult task.
**[15:45] ---**
It's like trying to find one
truth in a vast universe.
**[15:48] ---**
But Agni can do it.
**[15:51] ---**
He creates worlds out of nothingness.
**[15:53] ---**
His power is on the same plane as the gods'.
**[15:55] ---**
That's why the people have called him...
**[15:59] ---**
...the Godly Right Hand of Kali!
**[16:03] ---**
I've never tasted a curry
more delicious than Agni's.
**[16:07] ---**
I see. So his is the curry of Kali!
**[16:14] ---**
You heard the man.
**[16:18] ---**
Goodness gracious, he
sounds like a challenge.
**[16:24] ---**
D-Did you make all these yourself?!
**[16:27] ---**
Yes.
**[16:28] ---**
You're the only one who knows Agni's curry.
**[16:31] ---**
I'd like your help to
make a more divine curry
**[16:35] ---**
as soon as possible.
**[16:39] ---**
A-All right.
**[16:40] ---**
If my eating curry will be useful,
I'll eat as much as you please!
**[16:45] ---**
Thank you.
**[16:46] ---**
This is for Mina and Agni!
**[16:51] ---**
Thanks to you, every last
rival has withdrawn.
**[16:55] ---**
The only ones left are third-rate
brands I've never heard of
**[16:59] ---**
and a toy company popular with kids.
**[17:03] ---**
*Funtom Company? Could the prince be...?*
**[17:06] ---**
Don't worry. No one could
defeat your godly right hand.
**[17:12] ---**
*My prince...*
**[17:15] ---**
Pardon me.
***SIGN*** "Gâteau au Chocolat"
**[17:18] ---**
I've made *gâteau au
chocolat* for today's tea.
**[17:21] ---**
Get the sabre I wear to
audiences with Her Majesty.
**[17:25] ---**
You insist she won't come,
but you dress up anyway.
**[17:28] ---**
The Queen's guard dog is as
well-trained as one would wish.
**[17:31] ---**
Have you managed to make a
curry better than Agni's?
**[17:34] ---**
No,
***SIGN*** "Collapse"
**[17:35] ---**
according to the prince,
something is still lacking.
**[17:39] ---**
Then you haven't got the
time to be baking cakes.
**[17:43] ---**
Get back to the kitchen.
**[17:45] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[17:46] ---**
I'm not in the mood for chocolate right now.
**[17:49] ---**
Drop it in the curry or something.
**[17:51] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[18:00] ---**
*Until that day, I didn't believe in gods.*
**[18:05] ---**
*I was born into the highest caste,*
**[18:07] ---**
*the Brahmins who serve the gods,*
**[18:10] ---**
*but seeing the greed and
snobbery of my father,*
**[18:13] ---**
*I couldn't bring myself to believe.*
**[18:16] ---**
*And all the crimes I committed led me to...*
**[18:23] ---**
As of now, the man you were is dead.
**[18:26] ---**
It's time to be reborn with
a new name and a new life!
**[18:30] ---**
*He made me see that the
divine was within him.*
**[18:34] ---**
Do you understand, Agni?
**[18:38] ---**
*I vowed I'd only brandish
this fist for my god's sake...*
**[18:56] ---**
Is this outfit in worn deference
to the Queen as well, my lord?
**[18:59] ---**
Never mind the unnecessary chitchat.
**[19:01] ---**
I take it you really can beat Agni?
**[19:04] ---**
Of course.
**[19:06] ---**
I swear on the name Phantomhive
**[19:08] ---**
that I shall win a Royal Warrant.
**[19:20] ---**
Well then, I have preparations
to make, so I'll excuse myself.
**[19:26] ---**
--See you later!
**[19:26] ---**
--Get the job done! Heh, heh!
**[19:35] ---**
Sebastian!
**[19:43] ---**
Mina!
**[19:46] ---**
Prince Soma...?
**[19:49] ---**
Mina!
**[19:50] ---**
Thank goodness! Agni got you back!
**[19:54] ---**
You don't need to worry now.
Let's go back to the palace together!
**[19:58] ---**
Your Highness?
**[20:01] ---**
What are you, stupid?
**[20:04] ---**
Go home with you? Don't make me laugh!
**[20:07] ---**
Why the devil should I go back *there*?
**[20:10] ---**
I went to all this trouble to escape India.
**[20:13] ---**
Some people can play all day and never
work just because they were born royal.
**[20:17] ---**
But I have to be a servant
until I die because of my caste!
**[20:22] ---**
I don't want to live my whole
life chained by the caste system!
**[20:25] ---**
Then you... wanted to go with West...?
**[20:29] ---**
Yes!
**[20:30] ---**
A lowly servant, or a rich man's wife!
**[20:33] ---**
Even a child would know which one is better!
**[20:35] ---**
And I've had enough of taking
care of you, you spoiled brat!
**[20:40] ---**
I promised not to tell you,
but seeing your face...
**[20:45] ---**
You're old enough to know the truth.
**[20:52] ---**
Mina promised me that she'd act
like her old self in front of the prince
**[20:56] ---**
if I would obey West's orders.
**[21:01] ---**
If my innocent prince found
out how Mina really feels...
**[21:04] ---**
So that's what this was about.
**[21:06] ---**
So I can't lose!
**[21:11] ---**
What a coincidence. I feel the same way.
**[21:21] ---**
I can't win with the flavor I have now.
**[21:23] ---**
Something is missing! Something is...
**[21:28] ---**
You seem troubled.
**[21:31] ---**
Please use this, if you like.
**[21:41] ---**
This is...
**[21:47] ---**
Thank you for waiting, everyone!
**[21:49] ---**
It's time for the Curry Festival,
put on by The Best of London Curry!
**[21:56] ---**
Look, it's him again.
**[21:59] ---**
Attention-seeker.
**[22:03] ---**
*Prince Soma, can't you stand
to even see my face anymore?*
**[22:09] ---**
*No, no, I have to focus on
the competition right now.*
**[22:13] ---**
And now, let the cooking be--
**[22:16] ---**
What is it?
**[22:18] ---**
This is...
**[22:27] ---**
Her Majesty!
**[22:49] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[22:56] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[23:06] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[23:13] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[23:20] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[23:27] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[23:35] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[23:42] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[24:04] ---**
*Spice is nice!*
**[24:09] ---**
*Please, never mind me. I
was just talking to myself.*
**[24:13] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler who can't
make curry isn't worth his cumin.*
**[24:19] ---**
*Even apples and honey curry favor with me.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Competing."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Competing"
**[24:29] ---**

**[00:18] ---**
My word!
**[00:19] ---**
Her Majesty Queen Victoria,
mother of England,
**[00:23] ---**
has favored us with her honored presence!
**[00:29] ---**
It's Her Majesty...
**[00:31] ---**
I can't believe she really came!
**[00:33] ---**
She seems to have lost
quite a bit of weight...

**[01:18] ---**
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
**[01:20] ---**
"I apologize for my inability
to appear before you for so long.
**[01:24] ---**
However, I am now in such perfect health
**[01:27] ---**
that I may even enjoy curry again.
**[01:29] ---**
My late husband Albert was
very fond of curry as well.
**[01:34] ---**
I look forward to examining
the fruits of your labors."
**[01:40] ---**
And with that, *allez cuisine*!
**[01:51] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[01:57] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[02:04] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[02:09] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[02:12] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[02:16] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[02:24] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[02:30] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[02:36] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[02:42] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[02:49] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[02:56] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[02:59] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[03:14] ---**
"His Butler, Competing"
**[03:24] ---**
So it's started?
**[03:29] ---**
What are you, stupid?
**[03:33] ---**
*Prince Soma, my god...*
**[03:38] ---**
*I'll use my power for your sake!*
**[03:44] ---**
By Jove! That Indian's right hand
is like an independent creature!
**[03:48] ---**
And what a lovely smell!
**[03:51] ---**
This is the Godly Right Hand of Kali!
**[03:54] ---**
I should win handily--
**[03:59] ---**
Funtom is amazing, too!
**[04:01] ---**
And the smell is just as good!
**[04:03] ---**
*That blasted butler...*
**[04:06] ---**
I say, what is he doing?!
**[04:10] ---**
Don't tell me that's...
**[04:13] ---**
...chocolate?!
**[04:15] ---**
Chocolate in curry?
**[04:16] ---**
What is he thinking?
**[04:18] ---**
Revolting!
**[04:21] ---**
Just what I'd expect from
Funtom, the confectionery!
**[04:23] ---**
What unconventional publicity!
**[04:27] ---**
No, that's a legitimate seasoning.
**[04:32] ---**
The blend of cacao, oil, milk, and
sugar provides aroma and bitterness,
**[04:36] ---**
and gives it a mellow, full-bodied flavor!
**[04:42] ---**
Where did an Englishman
like you get such an idea?
**[04:47] ---**
My master ordered me to do it.
**[04:51] ---**
Drop it in the curry or something.
**[04:53] ---**
I carry out my master's orders,
**[04:55] ---**
no matter how unreasonable they may be.
**[04:59] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[05:03] ---**
It's all in the phrasing, eh?
**[05:05] ---**
Was that supposed to be sarcasm?
**[05:15] ---**
What a bond between master and servant...
**[05:21] ---**
*Your Highness, I see you
truly won't forgive me.*
**[05:25] ---**
*But that's precisely why I must not lose!*
**[05:30] ---**
What's that?!
**[05:32] ---**
A blue lobster?
**[05:34] ---**
*Homard bleu*!
**[05:36] ---**
It's the legendary blue
lobster said to only exist
**[05:39] ---**
in the clear seas of Brittany!
**[05:41] ---**
Encased in a shell whose
brilliance rivals even Chartres Blue,
**[05:45] ---**
it is like a beautiful lady in a blue dress!
**[05:49] ---**
And the body beneath that dress
**[05:51] ---**
is known to mesmerize people
with its fine and delicate sweetness!
**[05:55] ---**
Did you see that? Mine is
truly the choicest brand of curry!
**[05:59] ---**
Cheap, unorthodox flavorings pose no threat!
**[06:03] ---**
Sebastian, I shall devote
everything I have to defeating you!
**[06:19] ---**
Your time is up!
**[06:21] ---**
And now for the judging.
**[06:23] ---**
First we have Parson Tubb
& Company's beef curry!
**[06:27] ---**
The beef is cut thickly
and portioned generously.
**[06:31] ---**
Quite a sumptuous recipe.
**[06:33] ---**
However, this dull flavor and aroma...
**[06:37] ---**
The idea of a professional chef
using curry powder is outrageous!
**[06:44] ---**
I take it Dhol & Company
blends its own spices?
**[06:47] ---**
Y-Yes, my lord!
**[06:49] ---**
Hmm... There's one particularly
magnificent scent...
**[06:55] ---**
Still, it's unbalanced overall,
**[06:58] ---**
so that nice scent is standing out too much.
**[07:00] ---**
Well, we'll give them credit for effort.
**[07:03] ---**
Next up is Chef Agni from
Harold West & Company!
**[07:06] ---**
This is my curry.
**[07:09] ---**
A thali of seven types of
curry with blue lobster.
**[07:13] ---**
What vivid colors!
**[07:17] ---**
S-Splendid! A tender and chewy texture,
**[07:20] ---**
and a delicate sweetness
that spreads on the tongue!
**[07:23] ---**
And seven different curries,
**[07:25] ---**
all of them beautifully
complementing the lobster!
**[07:29] ---**
This is a beauteous woman I met at a ball!
**[07:34] ---**
The seven jewels adorning
your refined, exquisite form!
**[07:38] ---**
The gold brooch in the shape of a dove!
**[07:40] ---**
The sapphire and pearl bracelet!
**[07:42] ---**
The garnet choker!
**[07:43] ---**
The cameo!
**[07:45] ---**
And on your finger, the
diamond and emerald ring!
**[07:49] ---**
They all accentuate your natural beauty!
**[07:52] ---**
You... stole my heart!
**[07:58] ---**
Such high praise!
**[08:00] ---**
Is victory assured?!
**[08:03] ---**
Or can our final contestant
garner even higher praise?!
**[08:07] ---**
This is Funtom Company!
**[08:13] ---**
This is my curry.
**[08:16] ---**
I-It's...!
**[08:22] ---**
What are you playing at?!
**[08:27] ---**
H-He fried it!
**[08:29] ---**
What are you doing, Sebastian?!
**[08:31] ---**
Are you trying to make doughnuts?!
**[08:34] ---**
They're finished. This
is Funtom Company curry.
**[08:38] ---**
I see no curry!
**[08:40] ---**
Wait!
**[08:41] ---**
It's...
**[08:46] ---**
What?!
**[08:47] ---**
There's curry on the inside...
**[08:50] ---**
What?!
**[08:52] ---**
This is the curry Funtom is proud to present.
**[08:55] ---**
We call it... the "curry bun"!
**[08:59] ---**
C-Curry bun?!
**[09:06] ---**
Great Scott...
**[09:08] ---**
It's wonderful!
**[09:10] ---**
The crunchy-yet-fluffy fried bread
covering and the juicy curry inside
**[09:13] ---**
give this magnificent gradations of texture!
**[09:16] ---**
What's most impressive
**[09:18] ---**
is this structure which locks
in the curry's scent and flavor!
**[09:21] ---**
The moment I cut it open,
everything blossoms forth!
**[09:27] ---**
This is a lovely young
maiden I met at a soirée!
**[09:31] ---**
By day, you're a playful
robin childishly twittering!
**[09:35] ---**
But when night falls, you let
me glimpse your true face,
**[09:38] ---**
and I see a lady in her own right!
**[09:41] ---**
I... want to hold you in my arms!
**[09:50] ---**
More high praise!
**[09:52] ---**
Is the outcome of this battle in doubt?!
**[09:55] ---**
Sebastian, are you...
**[10:03] ---**
We'll now leave our judges
time to deliberate.
**[10:06] ---**
In the meantime, feel free
to try any curry you like!
**[10:16] ---**
I notice Her Majesty didn't eat.
**[10:19] ---**
She's not going to examine the recipes?
**[10:21] ---**
I imagine she avoided it to spare her health.
**[10:24] ---**
But it's possible she'll sample
the ones she finds interesting.
**[10:28] ---**
And that would change
the judges' impressions.
**[10:32] ---**
It's up to the Queen who
gets the Royal Warrant.
**[10:50] ---**
My company's curry is far
and away the most popular!
**[10:54] ---**
Don't let your guard down.
They also seem to fancy Sebastian's.
**[11:02] ---**
No need to be concerned.
**[11:05] ---**
Right, darling?
**[11:09] ---**
Mina! What are you doing here?!
**[11:11] ---**
What if His Highness sees you?!
**[11:13] ---**
He's already seen me.
**[11:15] ---**
Already? Don't tell me you...
**[11:24] ---**
Agni...
**[11:26] ---**
You knew about Mina,
so you tried to keep us from meeting.
**[11:31] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[11:33] ---**
Your butler is fighting, and you
run away and refuse to watch?
**[11:38] ---**
That's not it. I've been
thinking over what I've done.
**[11:41] ---**
I didn't know anything.
**[11:43] ---**
No, I didn't *try* to know anything.
**[11:46] ---**
Not how Mina felt, or how Agni felt.
**[11:51] ---**
If you understand that,
why are you just standing here?
**[11:56] ---**
You ought to think about
**[11:57] ---**
what a master owes to a
butler who's fought for him.
**[12:02] ---**
Ciel...
**[12:06] ---**
Oh, there he is! Your Highness!
**[12:09] ---**
The curry sampling has started already, yes!
**[12:12] ---**
If you don't hurry, you'll miss it!
**[12:14] ---**
Here.
**[12:18] ---**
That's good!
**[12:20] ---**
Your *khansama's* curry buns taste so kind.
**[12:28] ---**
How could you?!
**[12:30] ---**
The prince cared so much for you,
and you seemed to truly enjoy yourself!
**[12:35] ---**
*You* would never understand.
**[12:38] ---**
Not you-- a Brahmin who gave up
all his privilege to be some *khansama*!
**[12:42] ---**
What did I do all this for, then?
**[12:46] ---**
Why should I care?
**[12:50] ---**
*That's right, I'm going
to move up in the world.*
**[12:53] ---**
*I'll use men, and anything else I have to.*
**[13:11] ---**
Sebastian, chef of Funtom Company.
**[13:13] ---**
Her Majesty desires a curry bun.
**[13:16] ---**
Would you be so kind as to bring one here?
**[13:23] ---**
Please accept this, Your Majesty.
**[13:38] ---**
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
"You were considerate enough
**[13:42] ---**
to make this easy for even a child
to eat, requiring no knife or fork.
**[13:45] ---**
Treating all equally, rich
and poor, adult and child,
**[13:50] ---**
it embodies the ideal I strive for:
a kind and noble country."
**[13:54] ---**
Her Majesty is deeply moved
by your kind attitude
**[13:59] ---**
in treasuring our children... our future.
**[14:01] ---**
Don't make me laugh!
**[14:03] ---**
How you flatter yourselves!
**[14:06] ---**
Equality? The future?
**[14:08] ---**
The queen of a wealthy country like
this who's never done any hard work
**[14:11] ---**
has no place saying that!
**[14:14] ---**
Mina, stop!
**[14:16] ---**
You're in front of Her Majesty!
**[14:18] ---**
Out of my way!
**[14:21] ---**
Restrain her!
**[14:23] ---**
Shut your trap! The important
thing about curry is how spicy it is!
**[14:32] ---**
Her legs move with such grace...
**[14:34] ---**
her hips tilt invitingly!
**[14:36] ---**
She is the goddess Kali personified!
**[14:48] ---**
The Queen!
**[14:56] ---**
I smell it... I smell it!
**[14:58] ---**
Hatred and greed!
**[15:01] ---**
The stench of the impure!
**[15:03] ---**
Snuff out the unclean!
**[15:11] ---**
Do you intend to play the asura
mowed down by Kali, my lord?
**[15:15] ---**
It's a demon's job to be
the severed head Kali carries.
**[15:21] ---**
Sebastian, disprove the legends.
**[15:24] ---**
Stop Kali!
**[15:26] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:29] ---**
What happened?
**[15:30] ---**
A-An Indian woman suddenly went berserk!
**[15:34] ---**
What?
**[15:39] ---**
This is...
**[15:44] ---**
You're skilled.
**[15:46] ---**
I can see why you're called the
goddess who mows down demons.
**[15:49] ---**
Mina...
**[15:50] ---**
My prince!
**[15:51] ---**
Agni...
**[15:52] ---**
I am... I am a French chef!
**[15:56] ---**
I'm not good with spicy foods!
**[15:59] ---**
Pardon me.
**[16:00] ---**
Agni, what happened here?
**[16:03] ---**
I'm not sure.
**[16:05] ---**
Mina and some of the audience
ate that curry and suddenly...
**[16:14] ---**
Kali Ma!
**[16:16] ---**
My father told me about it once.
**[16:18] ---**
It's a forbidden spice which reacts
to the darkness in human hearts,
**[16:22] ---**
to greed and uncleanness, and
turns people into fiends.
**[16:28] ---**
Mina... I never knew your
heart was so wounded!
**[16:33] ---**
It's not your fault, my prince.
**[16:35] ---**
If she was possessed by the evil spice...
**[16:38] ---**
I know.
**[16:40] ---**
Don't finish that sentence.
**[16:42] ---**
I've always blamed others for everything:
**[16:45] ---**
my loneliness, Mina leaving...
**[16:49] ---**
Of course no one would love a brat like that.
**[16:52] ---**
But you stayed by my side
even when I didn't deserve it.
**[16:58] ---**
I'm sorry for not realizing
the truth until now.
**[17:02] ---**
Will you still be my *khansama*?
**[17:06] ---**
Your Highness...
**[17:11] ---**
Stop Mina, Agni!
**[17:14] ---**
*Jo ājñā*!
**[17:17] ---**
*Have I ever felt this full of emotion before?*
**[17:21] ---**
*I have just become one with my god!*
**[17:29] ---**
I shall assist you!
**[17:31] ---**
Ah, I see you've powered up even more.
**[17:34] ---**
Did something happen?
**[17:36] ---**
Yes! Right now... I am invincible!
**[17:41] ---**
I'll leave the two on the right to you, then.
**[17:44] ---**
Understood!
**[17:50] ---**
You have a fine butler.
**[17:52] ---**
It seems my services won't be needed.
**[17:56] ---**
But don't you think it's a bit odd?
**[17:59] ---**
If this is all due to a spice,
**[18:01] ---**
why are only certain people affected?
**[18:04] ---**
If the prince is right, I would think
far more people would go berserk.
**[18:09] ---**
After all, in this world there is
no one with a truly pure heart,
**[18:12] ---**
no one who is perfect...
**[18:26] ---**
Wait, Mina!
**[18:28] ---**
You fool!
**[18:30] ---**
*This is the only way to calm Kali!*
**[18:33] ---**
Come at me, Mina!
**[18:38] ---**
Prince Soma!
**[18:41] ---**
Mina, forgive me!
**[18:46] ---**
Sebastian, the curry buns!
**[18:49] ---**
Feed them your curry buns!
**[18:51] ---**
Certainly.
**[18:54] ---**
*Kind curry made by a demon...*
**[18:57] ---**
*An utterly vile joke. How very like him.*
**[19:02] ---**
*But if he chose to put kindness into them,*
**[19:06] ---**
*its power should be absolute.*
**[19:10] ---**
Eat this!
**[19:20] ---**
What's happening?!
**[19:25] ---**
M-Mina?
**[19:27] ---**
Soma... I was right.
**[19:29] ---**
You're horrible...
**[19:35] ---**
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
**[19:38] ---**
"These curry buns full of kindness
**[19:40] ---**
defeated the demon spice and even
healed those who had become devils.
**[19:44] ---**
The winner of the Royal Warrant is decided."
**[19:57] ---**
How will they be handled?
**[19:59] ---**
I do not believe they will be treated badly.
**[20:02] ---**
Lord Phantomhive, I congratulate
you on your remarkable work today
**[20:06] ---**
and on obtaining a Royal Warrant.
**[20:10] ---**
Her Majesty has expressed her gratitude.
**[20:14] ---**
She bids me tell you,
"I apologize for causing you trouble.
**[20:18] ---**
I have been watching your work closely.
**[20:20] ---**
I am in the light, and you are in the shadow.
**[20:24] ---**
Though our positions are different,
I trust we wish for the same thing."
**[20:27] ---**
Please continue to aid Her Majesty.
**[20:32] ---**
Yes.
**[20:35] ---**
Goodbye, then.
**[20:40] ---**
Thank you, Ciel.
**[20:43] ---**
If I had never met you,
I'd still be an ignorant, selfish brat.
**[20:50] ---**
Starting today, I'll learn many things
**[20:53] ---**
and tour all England-- no, all the world,
**[20:56] ---**
until I become a man second to none!
**[20:59] ---**
Sebastian, your household
has taught us many things.
**[21:05] ---**
I don't know how to thank you.
**[21:08] ---**
Please, raise your head.
**[21:10] ---**
I merely fought for my own reasons.
**[21:13] ---**
There is nothing you need to thank me for.
**[21:16] ---**
The gods you believe in, Kali and Shiva,
**[21:19] ---**
were able to realize their mistakes
through their mutual pain.
**[21:22] ---**
Just like the two of you now.
**[21:24] ---**
And you know what they
say: "No pain, no gain."
**[21:30] ---**
I'm ashamed to have to relearn
my country's teachings
**[21:34] ---**
from an Englishman...
**[21:37] ---**
Nationality is irrelevant.
**[21:39] ---**
All places, all times,
are essentially the same.
**[21:43] ---**
And so is human nature.
**[21:46] ---**
Yes. Just as the evening
sun over the Ganges River
**[21:50] ---**
and the evening sun over the
Thames are equally beautiful.
**[22:05] ---**
Mina! Mina!
**[22:08] ---**
Mina!
**[22:09] ---**
Let me go!
**[22:13] ---**
I'm very glad I came to England.
**[22:15] ---**
--My prince and I both met ideal friends.
**[22:16] ---**
--Mina...
**[22:20] ---**
"Friends"...?
**[22:23] ---**
You're the first person to ever
say something like that to me.
**[22:28] ---**
Stop it! You're getting my clothes wet!
**[22:49] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[22:56] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[23:06] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[23:13] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[23:20] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[23:27] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[23:35] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[23:42] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[24:04] ---**
*Are you certain, young master?*
**[24:07] ---**
*You don't mind my waiting on other masters?*
**[24:11] ---**
*Are you able to change your own clothes?*
**[24:14] ---**
*Don't forget to brush your back teeth.*
**[24:17] ---**
*Oh, yes, and you must not on
any account throw a tantrum*
**[24:22] ---**
*if you can't get to the commode at night.*
**[24:25] ---**

**[00:21] ---**
It's time to wake up, young master.
**[00:24] ---**
That is *not* how you should refer to me.
**[00:27] ---**
My apologies...
**[00:30] ---**
...Your Majesty.

"His Butler, In an Isolated Castle"
**[02:14] ---**
Ludlow Castle?
**[02:16] ---**
As I recall, we're remodeling
it into a hotel.
**[02:21] ---**
This is a petition from the builders.
**[02:24] ---**
They want to halt construction
and dissolve the contract.
**[02:44] ---**
What pathetic contractors!
**[02:49] ---**
Canceling construction
because they're afraid of ghosts?!
**[02:52] ---**
There's no such thing...
**[02:56] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[02:58] ---**
Nothing. Let's wrap this
up quickly and go home.
**[03:02] ---**
Certainly.
**[03:10] ---**
I've seen this painting before...
**[03:11] ---**
A replica?
**[03:21] ---**
Who gave you lot permission to enter?
**[03:25] ---**
Sebastian, why is there a
traveling minstrel squatting here?
**[03:28] ---**
You dare insult me?
**[03:35] ---**
I am Edward V, King of England.
**[03:41] ---**
What's going on here?
**[03:43] ---**
It would seem the ghost is real.
**[03:47] ---**
Approximately 400 years ago,
**[03:49] ---**
Edward V, on the verge of his coronation,
**[03:53] ---**
was confined in the Tower of London
with his younger brother Richard.
**[03:56] ---**
Legend has it that the two
were eventually murdered
**[03:59] ---**
by relatives who wanted to seize the throne.
**[04:02] ---**
This castle is where the
brothers spent their youth.
**[04:06] ---**
I'd venture to guess that
their souls have returned here.
**[04:11] ---**
It's true he was the King,
if only for a few months.
**[04:14] ---**
Well, that's that.
**[04:17] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[04:18] ---**
What are you whispering about?
**[04:21] ---**
Your Majesty, I present The Right
Honorable Ciel, Earl Phantomhive.
**[04:30] ---**
Please forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty.
**[04:32] ---**
I was not aware you were here.
**[04:36] ---**
Very well, then, I forgive you.
After all, I don't get many guests.
**[04:39] ---**
I am not a guest, Sire.
**[04:42] ---**
My company now owns this castle.
**[04:45] ---**
You're its new caretaker, then?
**[04:47] ---**
Not quite.
**[04:48] ---**
Allow me to speak plainly:
I'd like you to vacate this castle.
**[04:53] ---**
You're telling the king and his brother,
**[04:55] ---**
who have lived here for
400 years, to clear out?
**[04:58] ---**
You will be compensated, naturally.
**[05:01] ---**
I shall pay every regard
to your wishes, Sire.
**[05:04] ---**
May we discuss how we can
come to an agreement?
**[05:11] ---**
Hmm, it appears my brother
has taken a liking to your servant.
**[05:15] ---**
This is Sebastian Michaelis, my butler.
**[05:20] ---**
Our days would be so much fun
if we had a butler, wouldn't they?
**[05:23] ---**
Yes, he seems to be a very unusual butler,
**[05:26] ---**
so I imagine it would be interesting.
**[05:35] ---**
If I win, that butler will be mine.
**[05:37] ---**
If you win, you may do what
you like with the castle.
**[05:41] ---**
I do hope you won't regret this.
**[05:45] ---**
Let's have a fair game.
Otherwise it won't be any fun.
**[05:50] ---**
I agree.
**[05:58] ---**
I'll hold you to your promise.
**[06:03] ---**
Of course.
**[06:13] ---**
Hmm, that's checkmate.
**[06:17] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[06:18] ---**
Were you lying when you said we'd play fair?!
**[06:21] ---**
What did you just say?
**[06:23] ---**
Your Majesty...
**[06:24] ---**
I never lie. I hate lies!
**[06:29] ---**
This is my chess piece.
**[06:31] ---**
I merely use my powers to
the utmost. That's not unfair!
**[06:36] ---**
May it please Your Majesty...
**[06:39] ---**
I give the butler leave to speak.
**[06:41] ---**
I believe my master has
forgotten his own creed.
**[06:45] ---**
What?!
**[06:46] ---**
My master is of the opinion that
**[06:48] ---**
those bound by superficial rules who
do not use their pawns to the utmost
**[06:53] ---**
are fools.
**[06:57] ---**
In that case, there's no problem, is there?
**[07:00] ---**
All right, Richard.
**[07:08] ---**
This is an order: devote yourself
entirely to their satisfaction.
**[07:14] ---**
Are you certain?
**[07:15] ---**
I have no choice. I'm the one who lost.
**[07:18] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[07:20] ---**
That's settled, then.
**[07:22] ---**
A butler like this won't die so easily.
**[07:25] ---**
He should serve us for many years to come.
**[07:27] ---**
I shall do my best.
**[07:28] ---**
Phantomhive, I want to continue playing.
**[07:31] ---**
I'll receive you as a guest.
**[07:34] ---**
I am honored, Sire.
**[07:38] ---**
Now that you belong to us,
**[07:40] ---**
start by getting rid of that
horrid tailcoat. You look like a crow.
**[07:59] ---**
Say, I wonder what this is?
**[08:01] ---**
Indian tea leaves discovered
at the turn of the century...
**[08:06] ---**
...Your Royal Highness.
**[08:11] ---**
He even irons the shoelaces. Why is that?
**[08:18] ---**
This is the proper way to treat
the footwear of a man of noble birth.
**[08:21] ---**
Hmm, I've never worried about it before...
**[08:25] ---**
I mean, I never go outside.
**[08:33] ---**
Do you wish to change clothes before supper?
**[08:37] ---**
Yes.
**[08:38] ---**
Then may I hold on to that for you?
**[08:40] ---**
No!
**[08:41] ---**
You can't change clothes
with your hands full.
**[08:45] ---**
This is really, really
important to me. Right?
**[08:49] ---**
Who might it be?
**[08:51] ---**
Not telling!
**[08:52] ---**
I see.
**[09:00] ---**
Do you want to know?
**[09:01] ---**
Will you tell me?
**[09:03] ---**
No!
**[09:04] ---**
I see.
**[09:06] ---**
If I gave it to you, he would be sad. Right?
**[09:12] ---**
I see...
**[09:19] ---**
"In 1483, two princes
disappeared from the Tower of London.
**[09:25] ---**
Almost 200 years later, the remains
of two children were discovered.
**[09:30] ---**
Were they the princes? Who--"
**[09:32] ---**
"Who killed them?"
**[09:34] ---**
If you want to find out,
you'll have to start asking the dead.
**[09:39] ---**
I'm afraid I can't answer you.
**[09:41] ---**
Your Majesty?
**[09:45] ---**
I don't remember anything
from the day I was killed.
**[09:48] ---**
One day I just woke up in this castle, dead.
**[09:52] ---**
Your Majesty is very kind.
**[09:54] ---**
What?
**[09:55] ---**
I would *never* be able to
forget who disgraced me.
**[10:02] ---**
But it's been 400 years.
**[10:04] ---**
Our killer is long dead,
and our protectors too.
**[10:10] ---**
I can't even remember how I felt anymore.
**[10:14] ---**
Time eases the pain.
**[10:17] ---**
But I don't want time to heal me.
**[10:20] ---**
You're strong, Phantomhive.
**[10:26] ---**
What is it?
**[10:27] ---**
I believe dinner is ready.
**[10:29] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[10:31] ---**
Time passes quite quickly
while I'm talking with you.
**[10:39] ---**
You don't have to stand on ceremony.
**[10:42] ---**
Thank you, Sire.
**[10:47] ---**
This is roast hare with red
currant jelly and local leeks.
**[10:52] ---**
It's a bunny!
**[10:55] ---**
Did you get anything out of him?
**[10:58] ---**
Hey, Sebastian!
**[10:59] ---**
I must ask our guest to
please mind his manners.
**[11:02] ---**
It's common courtesy
**[11:03] ---**
to make pleasant conversation
with the diner next to you.
**[11:06] ---**
*Next* to me?!
**[11:07] ---**
How can I make pleasant
conversation with someone so far away?!
**[11:12] ---**
I wonder what our guest is
making such a fuss about.
**[11:15] ---**
I simply asked if my butler
was behaving politely!
**[11:19] ---**
But Sebastian is *our* butler.
**[11:22] ---**
Oh, that's right.
**[11:26] ---**
Your claret.
**[11:30] ---**
Well then, to our new
friend and our new butler!
**[11:34] ---**
Cheers!
**[11:35] ---**
What's the matter, Phantomhive?
**[11:37] ---**
Nothing at all.
**[11:46] ---**
Sebastian...?
**[12:10] ---**
Goodness gracious, can't you
even tie your own shoelaces?
**[12:14] ---**
Sebastian!
**[12:15] ---**
What about the princes?
**[12:17] ---**
I'm sure you didn't come
here just to laugh at me.
**[12:20] ---**
You make quite a fetching picture
**[12:22] ---**
being thoroughly bested by
one thin little shoelace...
**[12:28] ---**
Shut your gob!
**[12:29] ---**
I'm here because I was
instructed to take care of our guest.
**[12:33] ---**
Good night, then.
**[12:53] ---**
*These books are fake.*
**[12:55] ---**
*A secret passage, then?*
**[12:57] ---**
Pardon me.
**[12:59] ---**
What do you want?
**[13:05] ---**
I say, Sebastian!
**[13:07] ---**
Yes?
**[13:09] ---**
You wish to go inside, correct?
**[13:11] ---**
I haven't given you an order.
Why are you acting on your own?
**[13:15] ---**
I've told you over and over,
*I'm* the one who chooses--
**[13:16] ---**
It's good service.
**[13:19] ---**
The trick to satisfying a
guest is to always think ahead.
**[13:25] ---**
A royal butler who can't do
this much isn't worth his salt.
**[13:29] ---**
Don't make me kill you.
**[13:31] ---**
Then you don't want me to open the door?
**[13:34] ---**
Open it.
**[13:35] ---**
Certainly.
**[13:59] ---**
What is this?!
**[14:07] ---**
A crypt, it would seem.
**[14:12] ---**
Please be careful.
**[14:14] ---**
No human has set foot
in here for a long time.
**[14:17] ---**
Your Majesty, what is this place?
**[14:19] ---**
It was originally a dungeon.
**[14:22] ---**
Criminals the Church refused
to bury were thrown in here
**[14:27] ---**
and eventually forgotten.
**[14:29] ---**
Their souls have been
forgotten even by the grim reapers.
**[14:32] ---**
The path to heaven is closed to them.
**[14:39] ---**
Once on the spur of the moment,
I made something to remember them by.
**[14:45] ---**
I'll introduce you. This is my father.
**[14:48] ---**
The king is my father, and
my mother is the queen.
**[14:51] ---**
Perhaps my choices were
conventional and boring?
**[14:54] ---**
That rook is Earl Rivers,
and my uncle is a bishop.
**[14:57] ---**
It's a reunion of my family's bones.
**[15:01] ---**
One of the knights is missing...
**[15:04] ---**
That spot is for Richard.
**[15:06] ---**
Can't you find him, Sire?
**[15:07] ---**
That's not it. His bones are here.
**[15:10] ---**
I got the bones that came
from the Tower 200 years ago.
**[15:14] ---**
But Richard took hold of
the skull and won't let it go.
**[15:17] ---**
You see, Phantomhive, all I
want is to send my brother on.
**[15:23] ---**
To be with God, where there
is no pain or suffering.
**[15:28] ---**
To heaven?
**[15:32] ---**
Yes. That wish will come
true if I complete this set.
**[15:36] ---**
In other words,
**[15:37] ---**
if you get that skull,
you'll be satisfied?
**[15:41] ---**
You wish to have it, correct?
**[15:44] ---**
No matter what you have to sacrifice.
**[15:45] ---**
That's right.
**[15:46] ---**
If I do that, I know...
**[15:48] ---**
Sebastian.
**[15:49] ---**
Yes?
**[15:50] ---**
This is an order: go get that skull.
**[15:53] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:55] ---**
And take the chessboard to the hall!
**[15:57] ---**
Very good.
**[15:58] ---**
What do you intend to do?
**[16:01] ---**
I shall grant your wish, Sire...
**[16:05] ---**
Using the easiest possible method.
**[16:08] ---**
Stop it!
**[16:10] ---**
Put me down! Sebastian!
**[16:13] ---**
Please excuse me, Prince Richard.
**[16:17] ---**
How boring. I was hoping to see
a fight between demon and ghost.
**[16:22] ---**
Let me go, Sebastian!
**[16:24] ---**
Brother! Brother!
**[16:26] ---**
Richard!
**[16:27] ---**
Can't you two be a little gentler?!
**[16:30] ---**
What *I* can't understand
**[16:32] ---**
is that you let this little
problem go on for 200 years.
**[16:36] ---**
But I don't want to make my brother cry!
**[16:41] ---**
No!
**[16:42] ---**
Richard!
**[16:43] ---**
Look, you got what you wanted.
**[16:46] ---**
No! No, you can't do that!
**[16:48] ---**
My brother will... My brother will...!
**[16:51] ---**
As King, I order you to release Richard!
**[16:56] ---**
Brother!
**[17:04] ---**
My apologies, Sire.
**[17:06] ---**
But I must say, for a King
you seem quite powerless.
**[17:10] ---**
No!
**[17:11] ---**
Richard!
**[17:23] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:27] ---**
I told you to stop it, Phantomhive.
**[17:29] ---**
You wished to have it, no
matter what the sacrifice.
**[17:34] ---**
If you take that back now,
**[17:36] ---**
it's no better than the lies you hate.
**[17:41] ---**
Sebastian, heed my orders!
**[17:43] ---**
You belong to us now!
**[17:45] ---**
Unfortunately, Sire...
**[17:47] ---**
I am bound to the Earl
Phantomhive by contract.
**[17:52] ---**
I served the two of you
because it was my job.
**[17:56] ---**
All I have done is faithfully carry
out the orders of my true master.
**[18:02] ---**
You... You have betrayed us too?
**[18:06] ---**
I am not two-faced.
**[18:08] ---**
I have always belonged entirely to my master.
**[18:13] ---**
Now then, if we're to send
you both to this "heaven" place,
**[18:17] ---**
I suppose I have to be the chief mourner.
**[18:19] ---**
No! My brother! My brother...!
**[18:22] ---**
It's all right, Richard.
I'll always be with you.
**[18:27] ---**
Now this will all be over.
**[18:29] ---**
Funeral rites, or...?
**[18:47] ---**
Why? Why isn't anything happening?
**[18:52] ---**
You didn't want to tell His Majesty
about this, did you Prince Richard?
**[18:56] ---**
No. I knew he would be sad...
**[19:04] ---**
Brother, I'm sorry for lying to you.
**[19:08] ---**
Lying?
**[19:10] ---**
You lied to me, Richard?
**[19:11] ---**
Brother, that skull...
**[19:15] ---**
It's not yours or mine.
It belonged to some other poor soul.
**[19:20] ---**
But... That can't be...
**[19:23] ---**
You've forgotten...
**[19:27] ---**
that our bones don't exist anymore.
**[19:31] ---**
They haven't since that day...
**[19:34] ---**
You're right... since that day...
**[19:37] ---**
That nice guard said "good
night" just like always.
**[19:41] ---**
But he was the one who let the assassin in.
**[19:44] ---**
He said "You're safe here,
because I'll protect you," but...
**[19:50] ---**
That's what made me hate lies.
**[19:55] ---**
First me, then my younger brother.
**[19:58] ---**
I saw it, from the body
that could no longer move.
**[20:01] ---**
I'm sorry, Richard.
**[20:03] ---**
You must have been so frightened.
**[20:06] ---**
But Brother, the truth is,
**[20:08] ---**
the scariest part was when I
thought I'd never see you again.
**[20:15] ---**
Our bodies were chopped to
pieces and thrown into the Thames.
**[20:20] ---**
The fish picked away at us,
we were buried in the mud,
**[20:23] ---**
and then there were no
flesh or bones anymore.
**[20:26] ---**
That's right! Richard, how
could I ever have forgotten
**[20:31] ---**
that night I failed to protect you?!
**[20:33] ---**
No, don't cry!
**[20:36] ---**
Phantomhive, you were right.
**[20:39] ---**
The hatred and sorrow have
been inside me all this time!
**[20:43] ---**
Time eases the pain.
**[20:45] ---**
But I don't want time to heal me.
**[20:49] ---**
You may think you've
escaped the pain and forgotten it,
**[20:52] ---**
but all you have is stagnation.
**[20:54] ---**
You can't move forward.
**[20:57] ---**
Oh... So even as I hated lies so much,
**[21:01] ---**
I was the one lying to myself?
**[21:06] ---**
Brother, you're glowing!
**[21:08] ---**
What's...?
**[21:09] ---**
The funeral goods are mere tools.
**[21:13] ---**
It wasn't bones or ceremonies
that had the power
**[21:16] ---**
to release your wandering souls...
**[21:26] ---**
I am in your debt, Phantomhive.
**[21:29] ---**
I wish you a long and healthy life.
**[21:31] ---**
I didn't do much.
**[21:34] ---**
Oh, and you don't need
to fear for the castle.
**[21:37] ---**
I'll leave it just as it is.
**[21:39] ---**
I'm relieved to hear it.
**[21:42] ---**
Goodbye, Sebastian. Thank you.
**[21:46] ---**
Take care, Your Highness.
**[22:01] ---**
Well, the nuisances are gone at last.
**[22:05] ---**
We're going to make up for
lost time! Work, work, work!
**[22:08] ---**
You got it!
**[22:10] ---**
*You liar.*
**[22:19] ---**
*All hatred and sorrow are yours.*
**[22:24] ---**
*All you need to do is turn it
into strength*
**[22:27] ---**

**[00:18] ---**
Oh, now this is a nicely mangled corpse.
**[00:23] ---**
Instead of covering up these wounds,
**[00:25] ---**
maybe I should accentuate them
with pink dye, like flower petals.
**[00:30] ---**
Ah, what fun it is to be an undertaker!
**[00:38] ---**
Now then, who do we have next?
**[00:42] ---**
This corpse is a bit unsatisfying...
no, *very* unsatisfying.
**[00:46] ---**
He's got such a weak mouth
for someone who didn't drown...
**[00:54] ---**
*What* did you just say?!
**[01:09] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[01:13] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[01:20] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[01:25] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[01:28] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[01:32] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[01:40] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[01:46] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[01:52] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[01:58] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[02:05] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[02:12] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[02:15] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[02:30] ---**
"His Butler, Offering"
**[02:42] ---**
This morning you have a dance
lesson with Mrs. Bright,
**[02:46] ---**
and this afternoon Lord Wensler,
who has an import-export business...
**[02:50] ---**
Are you listening, young master?
**[02:52] ---**
I told you, I'm sick of dancing.
**[02:55] ---**
I'm not cut out for it.
**[02:57] ---**
You are too modest.
**[02:58] ---**
Your dancing soothes the
hearts of those who watch.
**[03:02] ---**
You mean it makes them laugh.
**[03:07] ---**
I would never say such a thing.
**[03:16] ---**
Look, Tanaka, there are
*three* upright tea stalks!
**[03:20] ---**
It promises to be a good day!
**[03:24] ---**
You're...
**[03:27] ---**
...Her Majesty's butler?!
**[03:30] ---**
Ah, Lord Phantomhive.
I apologize for this embarrassing display.
**[03:35] ---**
Why is the Queen's butler
drinking tea in my mansion?
**[03:39] ---**
You didn't know, young master?
**[03:42] ---**
Ash has been the one
**[03:45] ---**
delivering Her Majesty's
orders all this time.
**[03:49] ---**
That's no job for a butler...
**[03:51] ---**
A butler who can't...
**[03:54] ---**
...use Her Majesty's naptime to check the
Doomsday Book for those requesting an audience,
**[03:57] ---**
come straight to deliver an
envelope to Lord Phantomhive,
**[03:59] ---**
and stop for an elegant tea with
Tanaka while he's at it isn't worth his salt.
**[04:04] ---**
Somehow I doubt the tea bit
is really a requirement.
**[04:10] ---**
Might I ask what brings you here today?
**[04:14] ---**
Ah, yes.
**[04:17] ---**
Outside of Preston there's a Catholic abbey
**[04:21] ---**
that was burned down during the
Reformation, and is no longer in use.
**[04:25] ---**
A cult espousing deviant
doctrines is gathering there.
**[04:34] ---**
We have heard that its leader has
the Doomsday Books of all followers.
**[04:40] ---**
You mean the land registers,
**[04:42] ---**
where their livestock and
property are recorded?
**[04:44] ---**
But why would he want to know that?
**[04:48] ---**
No, the Doomsday Books they revere
**[04:52] ---**
are of a different sort.
**[04:56] ---**
They are registers required when you stand
**[05:00] ---**
before the Lord in heaven on
Doomsday... the Day of Judgment.
**[05:04] ---**
All your sins and good works
are supposedly recorded there.
**[05:15] ---**
The occult again?
**[05:17] ---**
There are rumors that they plan
to revolt against the government.
**[05:23] ---**
Her Majesty laments that
the people of Preston
**[05:27] ---**
are quaking in fear of these heretics.
**[05:31] ---**
And? Are you telling me to disperse them,
**[05:36] ---**
or to eradicate them?
**[05:40] ---**
We leave that decision to you.
**[05:45] ---**
Very well.
**[05:50] ---**
Pluto?
**[06:02] ---**
Who is that?
**[06:04] ---**
Just a servant.
**[06:06] ---**
I see. He seems amusing.
**[06:15] ---**
Well, what now?
***SIGN*** "Victoria Sponge Cake"
**[06:18] ---**
According to Ash, the
abbey is heavily guarded.
**[06:24] ---**
So it would be difficult to
go in through the front door...
**[06:28] ---**
Incidentally, he also mentioned
that a large number of coffins
**[06:31] ---**
have been delivered there in recent days.
**[06:37] ---**
Coffins?
**[06:44] ---**
I'm coming in!
**[06:47] ---**
Welcome.
**[06:49] ---**
I have a favor to ask, Undertaker.
**[06:52] ---**
In that case...
**[06:56] ---**
Give me prime romance!
**[07:03] ---**
Grell?!
**[07:05] ---**
Hello, my lord.
**[07:08] ---**
Undertaker?
**[07:11] ---**
The bounder told me he wasn't
afraid of grim reapers,
**[07:14] ---**
so I buried him in salt.
**[07:16] ---**
Oh, I just love the sensation
**[07:19] ---**
of all the moisture in my
body leeching out of my skin!
**[07:23] ---**
A dangerous game.
**[07:25] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[07:27] ---**
Will's having me do a bit of investigating.
**[07:30] ---**
But there was just no information,
**[07:33] ---**
and I got hungry and sleepy...
**[07:36] ---**
So I took a nap in a flowerbed,
**[07:39] ---**
and woke up to find myself here.
**[07:42] ---**
Perhaps I shouldn't have
stopped breathing while I slept?
**[07:46] ---**
I was waiting for a prince to come
wake me with a kiss (with tongue)!
**[07:51] ---**
What are you investigating?
**[07:52] ---**
Oh, we've had some Cinematic
Records stolen lately.
**[08:00] ---**
Cinematic Records?
**[08:02] ---**
Not something a *kid* needs to know about.
**[08:04] ---**
They're reels of film containing
all memories of a person's life.
**[08:08] ---**
Grim reapers extract them
from those on the To-Die list,
**[08:11] ---**
replay them, and decide whether
they will live or die.
**[08:13] ---**
Just so we're clear, you humans
can only see them when you die.
**[08:19] ---**
Are Records the sort of
things that can be "stolen"?
**[08:23] ---**
Mmm... They're stored in the
library when we're not using them.
**[08:28] ---**
The full pasts of all people now living--
**[08:30] ---**
in other words, of everyone on the
To-Die list: all the crimes, everything...
**[08:35] ---**
...in the form of books.
**[08:39] ---**
So they're books made in
preparation for Doomsday.
**[08:43] ---**
That rings a bell, doesn't it?
**[08:46] ---**
Undertaker, there's something
I want your help with.
**[08:51] ---**
Then give me prime laughter...
**[08:55] ---**
On second thought, I'll do
this one free of charge.
**[09:06] ---**
I've come to deliver the coffin you ordered.
**[09:11] ---**
Coffin, Sir?
**[09:13] ---**
No one informed me of this...
**[09:16] ---**
I have the order right here...
**[09:18] ---**
Hmm, where did I put it?
**[09:21] ---**
Here? No, here?
**[09:28] ---**
All right. Please come in, then.
**[09:31] ---**
And you, as well.
**[09:35] ---**
Well, I'll be off, then.
**[09:38] ---**
I've finished what I came to do.
**[09:42] ---**
I see. Thank you.
**[09:45] ---**
May your soul be cleansed.
**[09:53] ---**
I thought it was supposed
to be difficult to get in here.
**[09:57] ---**
Yes, I was under that impression...
**[10:07] ---**
Perfect smiles.
**[10:10] ---**
Shouldn't that be educational for you,
since you've forgotten how?
**[10:14] ---**
Don't be dull.
**[10:16] ---**
Those smiles are fake.
**[10:45] ---**
Young master?
**[10:48] ---**
Good evening!
**[10:49] ---**
Good evening!
**[10:51] ---**
Another wonderful day today, wasn't it?
**[10:53] ---**
Well, aren't you cute?
**[10:56] ---**
I don't really do kids, though.
**[10:59] ---**
Hello, unclean one!
You're impure through and through, I see.
**[11:04] ---**
What?!
**[11:05] ---**
Hmm? What's the matter, unclean one?
**[11:07] ---**
Are you ill?
**[11:09] ---**
You little brat! Who are
you calling "unclean"?!
**[11:13] ---**
Wah! An unclean one touched me!
**[11:15] ---**
We need to be cleansed!
**[11:17] ---**
Get back here!
**[11:19] ---**
Another unclean one!
**[11:26] ---**
Everyone over a certain
age is called "unclean."
**[11:33] ---**
I see from your clothing
that you're a new convert.
**[11:36] ---**
Don't worry. If you study
the teachings of our leader,
**[11:40] ---**
your body will be cleansed.
**[11:42] ---**
I say! Is this place--
**[11:45] ---**
Unclean? A funny thing to say.
**[11:48] ---**
I can't believe a beautiful
lady like yourself is impure.
**[11:57] ---**
I don't know anything about your sect yet.
**[12:01] ---**
Would you mind telling me?
**[12:04] ---**
All right... But then why did you come here?
**[12:11] ---**
A bug.
**[12:17] ---**
You'll tell me, won't you?
**[12:22] ---**
--Oh, stop, you'll make me impure!
**[12:25] ---**
--Whatever... do you... mean?
**[12:30] ---**
I didn't know he used this approach.
**[12:34] ---**
I'll put that wench on the To-Die list!
**[12:38] ---**
Hey.
**[12:38] ---**
Oh, I can see the gates of heaven!
**[12:44] ---**
It just smells wrong.
**[12:47] ---**
What?!
**[12:50] ---**
The Doomsday Books of those who
have lived a long time are impure.
**[12:54] ---**
Our leader cleanses the unclean passages.
**[13:00] ---**
And we're told not only the past,
**[13:04] ---**
but the future is recorded there.
**[13:07] ---**
The future, eh?
**[13:10] ---**
Yes. But only the chosen children
**[13:13] ---**
of the heavenly choir can be told it.
**[13:17] ---**
The heavenly choir?
**[13:19] ---**
What, do they sing hymns?
**[13:21] ---**
I believe "sing" may not be the right word...
**[13:27] ---**
But I hear beautiful voices
from our leader's bedchamber...
**[13:33] ---**
If only young boys are chosen
for the heavenly choir,
**[13:37] ---**
that means you are the only one
who can get close to their leader.
**[13:42] ---**
Rubbish!
**[13:43] ---**
I could easily get into
the heavenly choir!☆
**[13:48] ---**
Well? How do I look?
**[13:50] ---**
Wah! You'll make me impure!
**[13:53] ---**
Why, you...
**[13:59] ---**
Oh, it's time for our
leader's cleansing ceremony.
**[14:04] ---**
Cleansing?
**[14:07] ---**
I was right; it smells.
**[14:15] ---**
What is it?
**[14:17] ---**
Oh, I just smelled a rotten apple
**[14:21] ---**
fallen from a tree, that's all.
**[15:02] ---**
Here, tonight, the sinful
unclean shall be made pure.
**[15:20] ---**
Are those Cinematic Records?
**[15:25] ---**
Too far away to tell.
**[15:28] ---**
I shall read the Doomsday Books
of these impure, lost children.
**[15:33] ---**
Jill Peasant.
**[15:34] ---**
The second daughter of a farmer,
she conceived a child at fifteen.
**[15:39] ---**
Thomas Atkins.
**[15:41] ---**
No especially evil deeds,
**[15:43] ---**
but he has spent his life meaninglessly.
**[15:45] ---**
That is a grave sin.
**[15:57] ---**
I say!
**[16:15] ---**
This is...
**[16:17] ---**
Snuff out the unworthy.
Snuff out the unnecessary.
**[16:20] ---**
Snuff out the unfruitful.
Snuff out the unclean!
**[16:39] ---**
Now nothing unclean exists on this dais.
**[16:44] ---**
They are our brother and
sister, made pure as snow!
**[16:51] ---**
Leader! Leader!
**[16:54] ---**
What a blessing!
**[17:07] ---**
Something's off.
**[17:09] ---**
Those books weren't Cinematic Records.
**[17:14] ---**
Then he doesn't have the
power to see the past?
**[17:20] ---**
Ah, you're still here!
**[17:23] ---**
The heavens have smiled upon you!
**[17:28] ---**
St-Stop! I'll do it myself!
**[17:31] ---**
Nonsense. You've been chosen
for the heavenly choir,
**[17:35] ---**
so we must cleanse you from head to toe!
**[17:37] ---**
Oh, such unblemished skin!
**[17:40] ---**
D-Don't touch me!
**[17:41] ---**
Don't worry, we've already been cleansed.
**[17:45] ---**
That's not the issue!
**[17:47] ---**
Pardon me. I'll take care of the rest.
**[17:49] ---**
We can't allow that. You're still unclean...
**[17:53] ---**
Am I impure?
**[17:56] ---**
Maybe you're not...
**[17:58] ---**
Certainly not!
**[18:01] ---**
You're getting carried away today.
**[18:04] ---**
No, my lord, I simply wish to
make sure everything goes smoothly.
**[18:08] ---**
I have no intention of
exposing you to danger.
**[18:14] ---**
I never thought I'd hear *you* say that.
**[18:18] ---**
Even if the Doomsday Books
in that ceremony were fakes,
**[18:23] ---**
it doesn't change the fact that
they have some sort of power.
**[18:28] ---**
Unclean...
**[18:31] ---**
The doll called me that.
**[18:34] ---**
And there's this...
**[18:38] ---**
This mark that cast me into hell
**[18:41] ---**
is my only spider's thread right now.
**[18:46] ---**
Do you truly believe that grasping
it will let you crawl out of hell?
**[18:52] ---**
No, I'm not crawling up.
**[18:55] ---**
I'll grasp it and use it to drag
*them* down
**[18:59] ---**
into the hell I suffer.
**[19:03] ---**
I expect nothing less from my master.
**[19:05] ---**
There's only one thing you
should be saying to me now.
**[19:10] ---**
"Yes, my lord."
**[19:25] ---**
We've brought him.
**[19:28] ---**
Leave us.
**[19:36] ---**
You look divine, Ciel.
**[19:40] ---**
Come this way.
**[19:49] ---**
I am honored that you have chosen me.
**[19:58] ---**
I'll read you a book.
**[20:01] ---**
Sir, what is a "Doomsday Book"?
**[20:06] ---**
I'll read to you... until you fall asleep.
**[20:12] ---**
Tonight is a treat.
**[20:16] ---**
Mother said she'll let me sleep
in her bed tonight as a treat!
**[20:21] ---**
She'll read me a book, too!
**[20:23] ---**
And then--
**[20:25] ---**
*I'll read to you until you fall asleep.*
**[20:29] ---**
*Tonight's a treat, since it's your birthday.*
**[20:38] ---**
*What...?*
**[20:46] ---**
*His hand...*
**[20:49] ---**
Cleanse yourself.
**[20:52] ---**
Cleanse yourself of the sins
you have committed here and now.
**[21:02] ---**
*That's right. It can't be!*
**[21:07] ---**
Sebastian, this is an order!
**[21:10] ---**
Kill him!
**[21:12] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[21:31] ---**
I thought that was you, Angela.
**[21:36] ---**
H-Hey! What's an angel doing in this realm?!
**[21:41] ---**
Young master!
**[21:44] ---**
Look! That's a real Cinematic Record!
**[21:51] ---**
Grell, your death scythe!
**[21:53] ---**
Give me some time! I'm working on it!
**[21:56] ---**
What are *those*?
**[21:58] ---**
I can't help it! Will took my
last set of scythes away, too!
**[22:04] ---**
I shall show you all the light
and darkness of your past.
**[22:13] ---**
Young master!
**[22:16] ---**
I cut it!
**[22:19] ---**
Here we go.
**[22:49] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[22:56] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[23:06] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[23:13] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[23:20] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[23:27] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[23:35] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[23:42] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[24:04] ---**
*Young master, you must not on
any account look into the past.*
**[24:11] ---**
*It's very sweet,*
**[24:12] ---**
*and it has a nasty tendency
to become addictive.*
**[24:15] ---**
*You're so easily overwhelmed,
I'm sure even one past trip*
**[24:19] ---**
*will have you three sheets
to the wind in no time.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Transmitted."*

Where is the young master?
**[02:56] ---**
This is the Grim Reaper Library!
**[03:00] ---**
That's where the Cinematic Records are kept.
**[03:27] ---**
Ah, it *is* you...
**[03:30] ---**
I knew I smelled something unpleasant.
**[03:32] ---**
Will!
**[03:33] ---**
To think a demon would have
the nerve to set foot in our territory...
**[03:36] ---**
Will, wait! I'm looking for the
Doomsday Books on your orders!
**[03:40] ---**
Honestly...
**[03:41] ---**
A grim reaper, willingly
inviting such vermin here?
**[03:47] ---**
Grell Sutcliff, you appear
to want a further demotion.
**[03:52] ---**
Wh-What will it be this time?
**[03:56] ---**
Exterminating vermin is all well and good,
**[03:59] ---**
but are you sure you ought to let
your lice infestation go unchecked?
**[04:05] ---**
An angel.
**[04:06] ---**
Yes.
**[04:07] ---**
It seems I'll be late getting home tonight.
**[04:31] ---**
You're awake, then?
**[04:36] ---**
So it was you,
**[04:39] ---**
Angela Blanc?
**[04:41] ---**
How did your past feel?
**[04:44] ---**
Was it soft like burnished velvet?
**[04:47] ---**
Or was it more like overwashed cotton's--
**[04:49] ---**
Shut up! That hand...
**[04:55] ---**
That... was my father's hand.
**[05:01] ---**
You killed them, didn't you?
**[05:03] ---**
Why? Why did you kill my parents?!
**[05:07] ---**
What could you have possibly stood to gain--
**[05:09] ---**
"Killed"? What a disturbing thing to say.
**[05:11] ---**
Am I the only one who harmed your parents?
**[05:18] ---**
Didn't your butler...
**[05:20] ---**
No, didn't *you* kill them again?
**[05:37] ---**
You were brilliant.
**[05:39] ---**
I didn't expect you to stay sane
in the face of that distorted past.
**[05:44] ---**
Why, you...
**[05:46] ---**
You are thoroughly sullied.
**[05:51] ---**
However, underneath the surface is
a glow it would be a shame to waste.
**[05:59] ---**
Shall I change your unsightly,
**[06:04] ---**
impure past for you?
**[06:09] ---**
Angels have the ability to
tamper with Cinematic Records.
**[06:14] ---**
They can change the past?
**[06:16] ---**
I doubt even God could do that.
**[06:19] ---**
They merely give you a false peace.
**[06:24] ---**
Stuff it! *You're* the one who sullied me!
**[06:30] ---**
Those who have had negative
enough experiences to break their souls
**[06:34] ---**
wish for that past to be wiped out.
**[06:38] ---**
However, it haunts them forever.
**[06:53] ---**
It's all right, Ciel.
**[07:09] ---**
There's no need to grieve our deaths.
**[07:13] ---**
That's right, Ciel.
**[07:15] ---**
We don't want to see you suffer.
**[07:21] ---**
An angel's powers leave the past unchanged,
**[07:24] ---**
instead manipulating your impression of it
**[07:27] ---**
to make you think it wasn't
so negative after all.
**[07:30] ---**
You lie...
**[07:33] ---**
You lie! You were--
**[07:35] ---**
In that moment, we saw light.
**[07:40] ---**
A very rich, tranquil
light of loving-kindness.
**[07:44] ---**
In death, your father and I
truly became one in body and spirit.
**[07:49] ---**
Yes. And...
**[07:52] ---**
Now that we've become one, Ciel...
**[07:57] ---**
We can also embrace you, body and spirit.
**[08:05] ---**
Ciel.
**[08:06] ---**
Ciel.
**[08:08] ---**
We love you.
**[08:10] ---**
Father... Mother...
**[08:22] ---**
Young master!
**[08:28] ---**
His past is being rewritten.
**[08:32] ---**
He's being purified, made
clean and white as snow.
**[08:36] ---**
Purified?
**[08:37] ---**
No one wants to harbor hatred.
**[08:42] ---**
That holds true for him as well.
**[08:44] ---**
Young master!
**[08:45] ---**
How rash.
**[08:47] ---**
If you forcibly stop her now,
**[08:49] ---**
the child's past won't be
properly contained in him,
**[08:52] ---**
and he will become less than human.
**[08:57] ---**
Yes, he will become white as snow.
**[09:00] ---**
Purified... my young master...?
**[09:13] ---**
Come, Ciel.
**[09:17] ---**
We bear no grudge against anyone.
**[09:21] ---**
That's right. That's the ticket, Ciel.
**[09:25] ---**
You mustn't be led astray
by foolish negative emotions.
**[09:29] ---**
Cast off all hatred.
**[09:31] ---**
Hatred is uncleanness.
**[09:37] ---**
What is it, Ciel?
**[09:39] ---**
What's wrong?
**[09:41] ---**
N-N-No...
**[09:45] ---**
Ciel?
**[09:46] ---**
I don't... want...
**[09:49] ---**
What do you mean, Ciel?
**[09:51] ---**
Even if you...
**[09:56] ---**
never bore a grudge...
**[10:01] ---**
That has nothing to do with my hatred!
**[10:04] ---**
Ciel, how could you say that?
**[10:07] ---**
I thought you loved us!
**[10:11] ---**
I do love you, Mother.
**[10:15] ---**
That's why it was so painful.
**[10:18] ---**
It hurt!
**[10:21] ---**
Hatred was all I had left.
**[10:25] ---**
I'm asking you to let that go and--
**[10:26] ---**
No!
**[10:27] ---**
Ciel...
**[10:29] ---**
If I let go of hatred,
**[10:31] ---**
the self I've been since
that day wouldn't exist.
**[10:36] ---**
That's not who I am!
**[10:37] ---**
Ciel!
**[10:58] ---**
Ciel...
**[11:00] ---**
I won't lose it.
**[11:05] ---**
I won't lose it.
**[11:08] ---**
I won't lose this hatred!
**[11:20] ---**
He's rewinding the Cinematic
Record by himself?!
**[11:25] ---**
Young master!
**[11:31] ---**
What a breakneck thing to do...
**[11:35] ---**
Sebastian... I...
**[11:38] ---**
You always exceed my expectations.
**[11:43] ---**
You are truly worthy of being my soul...
**[11:45] ---**
no, my young master.
**[11:51] ---**
The horror of such an unclean heart!
**[11:54] ---**
Depraved, stagnant, without light...
**[11:57] ---**
I should never have shown you mercy.
**[12:00] ---**
I shall purify you here and now.
**[12:04] ---**
Then let's do this.
**[12:06] ---**
Disturbances in the library fall
under grim reaper jurisdiction.
**[12:10] ---**
We'll join them, Grell Sutcliff.
**[12:13] ---**
Oh, yeah!
**[12:17] ---**
Oh, we're a trinity! The door
opens on a passionate battle!
**[12:22] ---**
Yes, yes, coming through.
**[12:27] ---**
Let's see... Number eight... number eight...
**[12:32] ---**
Undertaker!
**[12:34] ---**
Hi!
**[12:35] ---**
Hey! What are you doing here--?!
**[12:39] ---**
Mind your tongue!
**[12:41] ---**
This is the virtuoso who passed
judgment on the famous Robin Hood
**[12:44] ---**
and sent Marie Antoinette to hell.
**[12:47] ---**
He is the legendary grim reaper
**[12:50] ---**
who makes the staunchest
of souls give up the ghost.
**[12:52] ---**
Now hold on!
**[12:54] ---**
He doesn't look anything like the
fellow in that sequence just now!
**[12:57] ---**
How could this dreary old
man be a legendary grim reap--
**[13:03] ---**
Make love to me.
**[13:07] ---**
As you seem so busy, I'll start
my purification with that abbey.
**[13:13] ---**
Running away again?
**[13:15] ---**
I shall show you all
**[13:17] ---**
what happens to a world ruled by impurity.
**[13:27] ---**
Wh-What is this?
**[13:30] ---**
An angelic seal.
**[13:53] ---**
What should we do, now
that our leader is gone?
**[13:58] ---**
You don't have to feel sad.
**[14:01] ---**
Because the time has come for
the coffins to serve their purpose.
**[14:08] ---**
A-An angel?!
**[14:14] ---**
Yield everything to me.
**[14:17] ---**
And give me your thoroughly
sullied Doomsday Books
**[14:23] ---**
that will never record the future!
**[14:29] ---**
It won't open!
**[14:30] ---**
Good grief. It would seem we're trapped.
**[14:43] ---**
This is...
**[14:45] ---**
The Cinematic Record of
someone in that abbey.
**[14:49] ---**
The abbey?
**[14:51] ---**
I see.
**[14:53] ---**
"An angel of massacre descends
**[14:55] ---**
on the abbey on the outskirts of Preston."
**[14:58] ---**
An angel of massacre?
**[15:01] ---**
All you who have gathered
here are impure souls.
**[15:06] ---**
Souls who lean on honeyed
words, who lean on God,
**[15:10] ---**
who have given up writing
the future with their own hands.
**[15:15] ---**
Snuff out the unfruitful.
Snuff out the unnecessary.
**[15:20] ---**
Snuff out the unclean!
**[15:23] ---**
Ah, yes, I see.
**[15:26] ---**
Stop her.
**[15:28] ---**
Dear me, an act of charity?
**[15:31] ---**
Didn't you intend to eradicate
that abbey in any case?
**[15:35] ---**
It's not that I want to help them.
**[15:37] ---**
I don't want to let her
have her way. That's all.
**[15:42] ---**
But what are we meant to
do about it? We're stuck here.
**[15:47] ---**
No, we have an option.
**[15:49] ---**
The ultimate reaper tool
which only the managerial class
**[15:53] ---**
of the Grim Reaper Staffing
Association can use.
**[15:57] ---**
We call it... the Death Bookmark.
**[16:01] ---**
Bookmark?
**[16:05] ---**
A pink placeholder.
**[16:20] ---**
If we use this to halt the story,
we can take a red pen to it.
**[16:25] ---**
This woman's name is Matilda Simmons.
**[16:29] ---**
"She is purified in the
abbey by the angel Angela"--
**[16:34] ---**
The sentence breaks off there.
**[16:37] ---**
So I put, "--But just then,
Sebastian Michaelis appears."
**[16:44] ---**
Sebas-*chan*!
**[16:54] ---**
That woman smells like a demon...
**[16:57] ---**
Yes.
**[16:59] ---**
You see, she's been marked already.
**[17:03] ---**
You!
**[17:04] ---**
What a pious demon you are,
to wish to die at an angel's hands...
**[17:10] ---**
...Sebastian Michaelis.
**[17:19] ---**
Do you think a demon can compete
with an immaculate-winged angel?
**[17:24] ---**
Wingless demons are chained to the earth...
**[17:28] ---**
...for eternity.
**[17:29] ---**
Oh, is that so?
**[17:33] ---**
In that case, may you be
chained to the heavens.
**[17:40] ---**
Grell Sutcliff!
**[17:44] ---**
A brand-new death scythe!
**[17:53] ---**
Yes!
**[17:54] ---**
Wash it and return it when we're done here.
**[17:57] ---**
You're so mean.
**[17:59] ---**
"William T. Spears and Grell Sutcliff
**[18:03] ---**
appear before Matilda as
she watches the battle."
**[18:08] ---**
That's a handy tool.
**[18:10] ---**
Yes, though limited.
**[18:13] ---**
This is an entertaining little diversion.
**[18:15] ---**
Let's treat ourselves to
a game of darts, shall we?
**[18:20] ---**
Hmm, I missed.
**[18:24] ---**
Now, where shall I hit her next?
**[18:26] ---**
I want to play too!
**[18:29] ---**
You have perverse tastes.
**[18:51] ---**
What?
**[18:53] ---**
Does she mean to destroy
herself along with us?
**[18:55] ---**
Snuff out the unclean.
Snuff out the unnecessary.
**[18:59] ---**
Boys, the ceiling is falling!
**[19:02] ---**
You are free to run if you like.
**[19:06] ---**
A-All right!
**[19:13] ---**
We'll retreat as well, Grell Sutcliff.
**[19:17] ---**
Well, really! Never mind overtime pay,
I'd like to request a day off.
**[19:54] ---**
*Is it over?*
**[19:57] ---**
*The one who plunged me into
bottomless darkness...*
**[20:01] ---**
*I don't even know why she did it.*
**[20:07] ---**
A promise is a promise. Take it.
**[20:39] ---**
Why, Sebastian?! Why aren't
you taking my soul?!
**[20:43] ---**
She must be dead! Or...
**[20:49] ---**
Do you mean there's someone else...?
**[20:54] ---**
I'll be serving you a while
longer, young master.
**[21:06] ---**
By the way, why were you in the library?
**[21:09] ---**
I thought you'd retired from active service.
**[21:11] ---**
Well, you see, he reminded me of something.
**[21:16] ---**
There were some Cinematic
Records I'd neglected to return.
**[21:22] ---**
Oh, please.
**[21:23] ---**
Come to think of it, two of
the books I had checked out
**[21:28] ---**
were about the Earl and Countess Phantomhive.
**[21:32] ---**
Their true Cinematic Records,
with no alterations by angels...
**[21:37] ---**
Do you want to know what they said?
**[21:42] ---**
No, I don't.
**[21:46] ---**
Let's be off, Sebastian.
**[21:48] ---**
Certainly.
**[21:55] ---**
Interesting.
**[21:58] ---**
Are you sure that was wise, my lord?
**[22:00] ---**
If you read the books,
you would know who to take revenge on.
**[22:05] ---**
It's fine.
**[22:06] ---**
Feeling sentimental?
**[22:07] ---**
That's not it.
**[22:09] ---**
It's only...
**[22:12] ---**
*The thought of being touched by that again...*
**[22:18] ---**
It's not my custom to
repeatedly disgrace the dead.
**[22:49] ---**
*Kurayami no naka de

*Of late, my young master seems quite friendly*

*with Inspector Abberline.*
**[24:09] ---**
*Making a new friend is a
wonderful thing, but...*
**[24:13] ---**
*I advise you not to get too deeply involved.*
**[24:16] ---**
*Hmm, I would think little things like
sharing your sweets should be fine.*

**[00:16] ---**
Can you believe it?
**[00:18] ---**
They say there was a time long ago
when people could bathe in this river.
**[00:23] ---**
Though now it might as
well be a rubbish heap,
**[00:25] ---**
since all the filth of
London gets poured into it.
**[00:29] ---**
Mr. Havock, look!
**[00:33] ---**
Oh, that's the Cutty Sark.
**[00:36] ---**
They say she was built
**[00:39] ---**
to carry new tea from China for the nobility.
**[00:43] ---**
Is she faster than a steamship?
**[00:45] ---**
According to the sailors, as long as
there's a wind, she's faster than anything.
**[00:51] ---**
The Cutty Sark...
**[00:53] ---**
It's the name of that witch.
**[00:57] ---**
If you stare at her too long,
she'll have you by the tail.
**[01:01] ---**
Could she take me to a faraway country?
**[01:05] ---**
Who knows? I hear that canal in
Egypt put her out of the tea races.
**[01:15] ---**
The age of the old ships is passing.
**[01:18] ---**
A new age is beginning.
**[01:29] ---**
Cutty Sark...?
**[01:37] ---**
What's wrong?
**[01:51] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[01:55] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[02:02] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[02:07] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[02:10] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[02:14] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[02:22] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[02:28] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[02:34] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[02:40] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[02:47] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[02:54] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[02:57] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[03:12] ---**
"His Butler, Imprisoned"
**[03:21] ---**
It seems no one from this
area recognizes him.
**[03:25] ---**
I see.
**[03:26] ---**
It must have been a robbery.
**[03:28] ---**
I imagine he was murdered
elsewhere and his body dumped.
**[03:33] ---**
The victim was killed with
one well-placed blow.
**[03:37] ---**
That's rather neat work for a common thief...
**[03:40] ---**
Then it was probably Mafia infighting.
**[03:43] ---**
The Italians, or the Chinese...
**[03:46] ---**
The word is that there's a queer
new drug on the market, after all.
**[03:51] ---**
In any case, we'll have to
begin by identifying him.
**[03:54] ---**
That won't be necessary.
**[03:56] ---**
His name is John Stanley.
Here are his particulars.
**[04:03] ---**
For you.
**[04:06] ---**
Just what are you playing at?
**[04:08] ---**
It's our civic duty to
provide information to the police.
**[04:11] ---**
Isn't that what you always say?
**[04:14] ---**
Spare me the playacting.
**[04:16] ---**
What are you after? Just say it.
**[04:20] ---**
All right, Sir Arthur, I shall.
**[04:24] ---**
I want you to show me this man's belongings.
**[04:27] ---**
Actually, he didn't have anything on him.
**[04:30] ---**
There wasn't even any proof of identity.
**[04:35] ---**
In that case, I'm happy I could
be of service, Inspector Abberline.
**[04:41] ---**
Let's go, Sebastian.
**[04:42] ---**
Very good.
**[04:44] ---**
That brat...
**[04:46] ---**
Why would Her Majesty
keep trusting a child like that?
**[04:50] ---**
The "Queen's guard dog"...
**[04:56] ---**
What's the matter, my lord?
**[04:58] ---**
You seem even more cynical than usual.
**[05:02] ---**
Who could look pleasant at a time like this?
**[05:05] ---**
You are too modest, my lord.
**[05:07] ---**
Your face looks quite pleasant to me.
**[05:11] ---**
I'm simply at a bit of a loss.
**[05:13] ---**
We don't have enough information.
**[05:18] ---**
A man's body washed up at
Regent's Canal Dock this morning.
**[05:22] ---**
His name was John Stanley.
**[05:24] ---**
He was in the merchant ship business.
**[05:27] ---**
And?
**[05:30] ---**
He was operating in the underworld
on secret orders from Her Majesty.
**[05:35] ---**
Just like you, Lord Phantomhive.
**[05:39] ---**
Her Majesty bids me tell you,
**[05:41] ---**
"I'd like you to find something
he carried on his person
**[05:46] ---**
and destroy it."
**[05:49] ---**
Not find the killer?
**[05:52] ---**
Correct. The Queen desires
you to dispose of his belongings.
**[05:56] ---**
That is all.
**[05:58] ---**
And? What is this object?
**[06:02] ---**
That's a secret.
**[06:04] ---**
Then there's no way for me to find it.
**[06:11] ---**
It's something Her Majesty
hesitates to discuss even with you,
**[06:17] ---**
the loyal dog she trusts above all others.
**[06:23] ---**
Make sure curiosity doesn't
drive you to examine its contents.
**[06:29] ---**
The first thing we need is
a better view of the situation.
**[06:32] ---**
Meaning...?
**[06:34] ---**
We need to know why Stanley was killed.
**[06:38] ---**
Was he just in the wrong
place at the wrong time, or...
**[06:42] ---**
...was he killed because of his mission?
**[06:46] ---**
Then how shall we go about
searching for witnesses, my lord?
**[06:51] ---**
Leave it to the Yard. The best
person to ask about Rome is a Roman.
**[06:56] ---**
The murder happened in his territory.
**[07:05] ---**
What a foul smell.
**[07:09] ---**
It seems you've finally
found this place, my lord.
**[07:14] ---**
It's strange that we should
face each other like this.
**[07:19] ---**
But you know, I rather
thought this day might come.
**[07:24] ---**
*What* day?!
**[07:26] ---**
Welcome, my lord! Long time no see.
**[07:30] ---**
I'm not interested in pleasantries.
**[07:32] ---**
I have a question for you, Lau.
**[07:35] ---**
You're so impatient.
**[07:38] ---**
You coming all the way to a den
like this to see me can only mean...
**[07:44] ---**
...one thing.
**[07:46] ---**
So you've heard?
**[07:48] ---**
Just what I'd expect from
the head of the English branch
**[07:51] ---**
of the Chinese trading company Kunlun...
**[07:53] ---**
Or rather, from an officer of
the Shanghai Mafia's Green Gang.
**[07:58] ---**
I don't much fancy being called that.
**[08:01] ---**
It's so stiff and formal.
**[08:03] ---**
Right, Ran-Mao?
**[08:05] ---**
I left you in charge of this area.
**[08:09] ---**
I assume you're aware of
all the neighborhood disputes.
**[08:13] ---**
Naturally. I've done just as you ordered.
**[08:17] ---**
That's the protection fee I pay so
you let me do business in England.
**[08:22] ---**
Well, then.
**[08:23] ---**
More importantly, my lord,
I have a question for you, too.
**[08:27] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[08:30] ---**
Why, you!
**[08:32] ---**
So you were just talking
through your hat... again.
**[08:36] ---**
At any rate, shall we go upstairs?
**[08:39] ---**
It's a bit stuffy in here.
**[08:41] ---**
I told you before: get out
of this business while you can.
**[08:46] ---**
"One night, Zhuang Zhou
dreamt he was a butterfly.
**[08:50] ---**
He was a happily fluttering butterfly."
**[08:53] ---**
There are people in this world, my lord,
**[08:56] ---**
who find reality too painful to live through.
**[09:00] ---**
I'm selling those people dreams.
**[09:06] ---**
For you, I'd do anything to help,
**[09:10] ---**
but I'm afraid I've never seen that man.
**[09:13] ---**
Now, never mind that.
How are you and Maria getting along?
**[09:18] ---**
Well, Ma'am, the truth is...
**[09:24] ---**
Goodness me! Congratulations, my boy!
**[09:27] ---**
So, you've been doing a bit
of slap-and-tickle, eh?
**[09:29] ---**
But won't there be a scandal?
You *are* a police inspector, after all...
**[09:34] ---**
You'd best get married right away.
**[09:37] ---**
I've already proposed.
**[09:38] ---**
What did she say?!
**[09:40] ---**
Wonderful! I'm so happy for you.
**[09:44] ---**
You'll finally have a family,
after all those years as an orphan!
**[09:49] ---**
And that's why I want to make London safer.
**[09:54] ---**
I want it to be a city where
children can safely be children.
**[09:59] ---**
All right, my boy.
**[10:01] ---**
If anything happens, I'll
be sure to let you know.
**[10:05] ---**
I'm counting on you, Ma'am.
**[10:08] ---**
Well, nowadays all the gang fights
in this area
**[10:15] ---**
have been over drugs.
**[10:17] ---**
Recently someone's been
spreading a new product around.
**[10:21] ---**
Frankly, it's an inconvenience for me, too.
**[10:24] ---**
A new product?
**[10:25] ---**
Yes.
**[10:26] ---**
Everyone says it's cheaper, lighter,
and more effective than opium.
**[10:31] ---**
It's known as "Lady Blanc."
**[10:33] ---**
"Lady Blanc"? A white woman?
**[10:40] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[10:41] ---**
No...
**[10:43] ---**
What was the name of the man they
found at Regent's Canal Dock, again?
**[10:48] ---**
John Stanley, though that's
most likely an alias.
**[10:54] ---**
He doesn't look familiar.
**[10:56] ---**
I believe I'd recognize just
about any drug dealer around, but...
**[11:00] ---**
What about you, Ran-Mao?
**[11:03] ---**
There you have it.
**[11:05] ---**
I'm looking for something
this man is supposed to have had.
**[11:09] ---**
"Something"?
**[11:10] ---**
Yes. It's possible he was killed for it.
**[11:15] ---**
Therefore, there's something
I'd like you to do.
**[11:18] ---**
What, my lord?
**[11:20] ---**
I want you to spread a rumor
**[11:22] ---**
that I got something valuable
**[11:26] ---**
from the dead man at the dock.
**[11:28] ---**
Nothing simpler. But might I ask why?
**[11:32] ---**
If that rumor spreads, the person
who killed him and stole this object
**[11:38] ---**
should fear it wasn't the
genuine article,
**[11:41] ---**
and come after me.
**[11:44] ---**
I see, you mean to use yourself as bait.
**[11:48] ---**
They don't call you the Queen's
loyal guard dog for nothing.
**[11:53] ---**
Say, my lord, I've been wanting to ask you...
**[11:57] ---**
How *can* you be so loyal to her?
**[12:00] ---**
She just asks you for the unreasonable.
**[12:04] ---**
You wouldn't understand.
**[12:06] ---**
You left your country
**[12:08] ---**
to travel the world,
never putting down roots.
**[12:12] ---**
You've got me there.
**[12:19] ---**
Now then, Cáo, will you do me a favor
**[12:23] ---**
and spread the rumor the Earl wanted?
**[12:26] ---**
Tell everyone that he got a
certain document from the dead man.
**[12:30] ---**
A document?
**[12:32] ---**
My lord, this may turn out to be
**[12:37] ---**
the greatest of all the games
we've been involved in.
**[12:56] ---**
Hello there, my good boy.
**[12:58] ---**
Huh?
**[13:01] ---**
Mr. Havock told me you
were collecting rubbish
**[13:05] ---**
at Regent's Canal Dock this morning.
**[13:08] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[13:09] ---**
Then would you mind telling me
**[13:12] ---**
about this "witch" you saw... Cutty Sark?
**[13:29] ---**
Oof!
**[13:31] ---**
These, please, yes!
**[13:34] ---**
Say, Mey-Rin, you serve at the
Phantomhive estate, don't you?
**[13:39] ---**
Yes, yes...
**[13:41] ---**
Would you give me some?
**[13:43] ---**
Some what?
**[13:45] ---**
A "white woman"...
**[13:47] ---**
Sebastian, do you think that
woman is involved in this case, too?
**[13:53] ---**
You're like a lost puppy
right now, aren't you?
**[13:58] ---**
I am merely one hell of a good pawn.
**[14:01] ---**
Isn't it rather absurd for a
player to ask a pawn his opinion?
**[14:07] ---**
I'm still here.
**[14:09] ---**
Which means that my wish
hasn't been fulfilled.
**[14:13] ---**
Quite right, my lord.
**[14:15] ---**
And as a man of the Phantomhive line,
**[14:20] ---**
I will play the guard
dog again on her orders,
**[14:24] ---**
like so many of my ancestors before me.
**[14:27] ---**
Yes, it's just how it's always been.
**[14:30] ---**
Nothing is different.
**[14:32] ---**
And yet...
**[14:37] ---**
B-Bad dog, no!
**[14:39] ---**
Get off her, you stupid mutt!
**[14:41] ---**
You mustn't do that, Plu-Plu!
**[14:44] ---**
I told you to get off her!
**[14:46] ---**
Sebastian, do something
about that stupid dog.
**[14:49] ---**
Certainly.
**[14:51] ---**
Kennel, Pluto.
**[14:59] ---**
What was *that* all about?
**[15:02] ---**
Maybe he's rutting?
**[15:04] ---**
R-Rutting?!
**[15:05] ---**
He seemed extremely interested
in Mey-Rin's pocket.
**[15:10] ---**
M-My pocket?
**[15:16] ---**
Hey, that's one of Funtom's sweets.
**[15:19] ---**
Someone gave it to me, yes.
**[15:21] ---**
It's the rage all over London!
**[15:23] ---**
I hear it's sold out almost everywhere, yes!
**[15:26] ---**
But when we said we'd never heard of it,
**[15:28] ---**
a nice lady gave us some so we could try it!
**[15:33] ---**
She said even adults fancied
it. Amazing, isn't it?
**[15:36] ---**
It's supposed to make you feel all wonderful!
**[15:39] ---**
She says it's addictive, yes!
**[15:41] ---**
Huh, let's have a look.
**[15:43] ---**
Wait!
**[15:48] ---**
My lord, this sweet was not
produced by our company.
**[15:53] ---**
What?
**[15:55] ---**
This wrapper is genuine,
**[15:57] ---**
but our quality control is not so lax
**[16:01] ---**
as to permit a shipment
of something so unshapely.
**[16:05] ---**
This is...
**[16:10] ---**
His time ran out!
**[16:18] ---**
This is a narcotic.
**[16:20] ---**
I believe it's a form of morphine,
derived from the opium poppy
**[16:23] ---**
and then even further refined.
**[16:26] ---**
Presumably it's the new
drug Mr. Lau spoke of.
**[16:29] ---**
Lady Blanc...
**[16:32] ---**
A visitor? For me?
**[16:36] ---**
Hey, you! What right do
you have to sit there?!
**[16:40] ---**
That's my seat!
**[16:42] ---**
The chair of the
Commissioner of Scotland Yard!
**[16:46] ---**
It's quite comfortable, isn't it...
**[16:49] ---**
...Sir Arthur?
**[16:50] ---**
Y-You're...!
**[16:53] ---**
I bring a message from
Her Majesty, Sir Arthur Randall.
**[17:00] ---**
Take me to the sweets factory,
and be quick about it!
**[17:05] ---**
*Damn and blast! Why have
our products become drugs?!*
**[17:10] ---**
*And those secret orders from Her Majesty...*
**[17:13] ---**
*How is this connected to
the dead man at the docks?*
**[17:17] ---**
*We're missing a vital piece of the puzzle!*
**[17:23] ---**
I say, Ran-Mao...
**[17:25] ---**
Which do you think is worse:
**[17:27] ---**
never waking from your dreams,
**[17:30] ---**
or never being able to dream?
**[17:33] ---**
Still, all things that seem eternal,
whether dreams or realities,
**[17:39] ---**
one day end, don't they?
**[17:44] ---**
*Shì dà gē.*
**[17:47] ---**
Surrender yourselves quietly!
**[17:56] ---**
Halt!
**[18:06] ---**
You're a reckless man.
**[18:08] ---**
You do realize that if I were
anyone else, you would be dead?
**[18:11] ---**
I did this *because* of who you are, Sebastian.
**[18:20] ---**
What's all this, Sebastian?
**[18:22] ---**
Ciel, Earl Phantomhive,
**[18:25] ---**
I am detaining you for suspected
violation of the Pharmacy Act!
**[18:30] ---**
Young master.
**[18:34] ---**
My, my. You, detain *me*?
**[18:37] ---**
The Earl Phantomhive?
**[18:41] ---**
You, a mere untitled police inspector?
**[18:45] ---**
That's right, Ciel.
**[18:47] ---**
You're suspected of conspiring
with that Chinese fellow, Lau,
**[18:51] ---**
to sell a new form of narcotic.
**[18:54] ---**
With Lau?
**[18:55] ---**
Ha! Ludicrous.
**[18:57] ---**
He's nothing but one of my pawns.
**[19:00] ---**
And Randall knew full well
that he was running an opium den.
**[19:06] ---**
If that's a problem, you can just arrest him.
**[19:10] ---**
Lau knows he operates his
opium business at his own risk.
**[19:14] ---**
There's a Funtom warehouse
in the Docklands, am I right?
**[19:17] ---**
Yes.
**[19:18] ---**
A large store of opium was
just discovered there.
**[19:25] ---**
Far too great an amount of it
for you to claim recreational use,
**[19:29] ---**
sitting there with Funtom's sweet wrappers.
**[19:32] ---**
And Lau?
**[19:34] ---**
He fled.
**[19:36] ---**
The police team who went to arrest
him suffered a good many casualties.
**[19:39] ---**
That's as good as an admission of guilt.
**[19:41] ---**
What shall we do, young master?
**[19:45] ---**
*Should I let them take me in, or...?*
**[19:49] ---**
Sebastian, I order you to--
**[19:51] ---**
Shut your mouth, brat!
**[19:54] ---**
Abberline, I told you to separate
him from the butler straight away.
**[19:59] ---**
Randall...
**[20:01] ---**
I trust you understand what
it means to point a gun at me.
**[20:05] ---**
If you want to resist, by all means, do.
**[20:09] ---**
But that will be the end of
the sullied Phantomhive crest.
**[20:14] ---**
What?!
**[20:16] ---**
I've just received a direct
order from Her Majesty the Queen.
**[20:21] ---**
Only the criminal would know
**[20:25] ---**
that what Her Majesty seeks is a document.
**[20:27] ---**
Therefore,
**[20:29] ---**
please arrest Lord Phantomhive and Lau.
**[20:34] ---**
There's no need to worry;
**[20:37] ---**
we'll construct a suitable pretext.
**[20:39] ---**
A-And what shall I do after I arrest him?
**[20:44] ---**
In the name of the Queen,
**[20:47] ---**
I hereby suspend all the
Earl Phantomhive's authority
**[20:50] ---**
until these suspicions are laid to rest!
**[20:53] ---**
If you defy me, you shall be
stripped
**[20:55] ---**
of your noble title on the
charge of high treason.
**[20:59] ---**
Furthermore, Lau, the head of
the English branch of Kunlun,
**[21:02] ---**
who is deeply involved in opium smuggling,
**[21:04] ---**
shall pay for his crimes with his death.
**[21:10] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive,
**[21:12] ---**
will you agree to confess
to Lau's whereabouts
**[21:16] ---**
or to the whereabouts of the Queen's letter?
**[21:19] ---**
I'm afraid not.
**[21:22] ---**
*A letter? So that's the missing piece!*
**[21:27] ---**
I should very much like to push you on that,
**[21:30] ---**
but unfortunately Her Majesty forbids it.
**[21:34] ---**
I suppose I'll ask your butler instead.
**[22:00] ---**
*Offer no resistance.*
**[22:02] ---**
*When the time is right, I will call for you.*
**[22:05] ---**
*And then we will teach them*
**[22:08] ---**
*what becomes of those
who humiliate me.*
**[22:12] ---**
*Have you got that, Sebastian?*
**[22:15] ---**
*Yes, my lord.*
**[22:49] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[22:56] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[23:06] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[23:13] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[23:20] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[23:27] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[23:35] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[23:42] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[24:04] ---**
*You intend to torture me?*
**[24:07] ---**
*Impossible, I'm afraid.*
**[24:08] ---**
*The only time I feel pain is
when I dance with my master,*
**[24:11] ---**
*who has made no progress
whatsoever in that art.*
**[24:15] ---**
*A whipping or two, compared to
that feeling of abysmal futility?*
**[24:21] ---**
*Bring it on!*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Escaping."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Escaping"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

"One night, Zhuang Zhou
dreamt he was a butterfly.
**[00:17] ---**
He was a happily fluttering butterfly.
**[00:20] ---**
It was so much fun. He could
fly wherever he wanted.
**[00:25] ---**
And he had no thought of being Zhou.
**[00:30] ---**
But suddenly he woke up,
**[00:33] ---**
and was startled to find
that he was now Zhou.
**[00:36] ---**
He couldn't decide: Was he Zhou
who'd just dreamt he was a butterfly...
**[00:40] ---**
or a butterfly now dreaming he was Zhou?
**[00:47] ---**
Between being Zhou and a butterfly,
surely there must be some distinction...
**[00:53] ---**
This is what we call the
transformation of things."
**[00:59] ---**
I know, I'm simply too-too.

"His Butler, Escaping"
**[02:42] ---**
He's lovely!
**[02:44] ---**
If you're going to confess,
you'd best do it soon, Sebastian.
**[02:50] ---**
Very well, then, I confess:
**[02:53] ---**
I was responsible for the outbreak
of the Black Death in Europe.
**[02:57] ---**
What?
**[02:58] ---**
As I recall, it was during
the reign of Edward III.
**[03:02] ---**
Don't try to make fools of us!
**[03:04] ---**
That was a full five hundred years ago!
**[03:08] ---**
Give him as much pain as you like!
**[03:11] ---**
Yessir.
**[03:12] ---**
Oh, good.
**[03:15] ---**
If you'd confessed,
I would've missed out on my fun!
**[03:20] ---**
Oh, those eyes! Should I
pierce them, or cut them out?
**[03:24] ---**
Or I could burn them!
**[03:27] ---**
No, no, I'll save the best part for last.
**[03:30] ---**
First, let's hear a nice
scream from you, you pretty thing.
**[03:42] ---**
Your tea is ready.
**[03:53] ---**
Ciel?
**[04:04] ---**
I once had a job unloading
tea clippers at the docks.
**[04:09] ---**
But you're an inspector...
**[04:12] ---**
I was raised in the East End.
**[04:14] ---**
I had no parents or siblings.
**[04:16] ---**
I did whatever work I had to, to survive.
**[04:19] ---**
You've certainly risen up in the world, then.
**[04:23] ---**
I say, Ciel...
**[04:25] ---**
You really don't have anything
to do with the drugs, do you?
**[04:30] ---**
Or the Queen's letter, either.
**[04:32] ---**
You're finally starting your interrogation?
**[04:34] ---**
No, the Commissioner only
told me to confine you here.
**[04:39] ---**
Then don't involve yourself.
**[04:41] ---**
This game is between me and
whoever is pulling the strings.
**[04:45] ---**
You just follow your superior's orders,
like the pawn you are.
**[04:49] ---**
That's the secret to long life and promotion.
**[04:51] ---**
Ciel...
**[04:55] ---**
If you're going to give the
Ferro family your territory,
**[04:58] ---**
we'll be glad to accept it,
**[05:02] ---**
but I thought you worked
for that little mutt.
**[05:05] ---**
I hear he's been captured.
**[05:08] ---**
Should you really run away without him?
**[05:11] ---**
The butterfly drinks nectar from the flower,
**[05:13] ---**
and the flower spreads its pollen
by giving nectar to the butterfly.
**[05:17] ---**
And should the flower be
plucked for the beauty of its bloom,
**[05:23] ---**
would the butterfly mourn it?
**[05:25] ---**
It would simply find a new flower, eh?
**[05:29] ---**
There are flowerbeds all over this world.
**[05:32] ---**
And wasn't that your doing?
**[05:34] ---**
And Stanley was your doing,
so it's a pot-and-kettle situation.
**[05:39] ---**
You're quite right, *Signor* Corraro.
**[05:42] ---**
Have a nice voyage, Lau-*dàren*.
**[05:48] ---**
Well, Ran-Mao, now we'll finally say goodbye
**[05:53] ---**
to these days of peace and boredom.
**[05:59] ---**
Liar.
**[06:18] ---**
A tea clipper, eh?
**[06:25] ---**
Tea, opium, and a Chinese man...
**[06:30] ---**
That's an unpleasant coincidence.
**[06:32] ---**
It's like the Opium Wars all over again.
**[06:49] ---**
You make a pretty picture
like this, Sebastian.
**[06:52] ---**
So this is how far you'll go
in your loyalty to your master.
**[06:57] ---**
Those are the terms of
the contract between us.
**[07:24] ---**
Where are you going, Ciel?
**[07:27] ---**
I'm tired of this confinement.
**[07:29] ---**
I just thought I'd take a little walk.
**[07:32] ---**
What do you think you can
accomplish on your own?
**[07:36] ---**
Do not underestimate the Phantomhives.
**[07:39] ---**
How many years do you think
we've held sway in the underworld?
**[07:45] ---**
There are still plenty of pawns in my grasp.
**[07:48] ---**
You mean the lot you've
been trying to contact for days?
**[07:52] ---**
None have them have
reached out a hand to you, though.
**[07:57] ---**
Am I wrong, Ciel?
**[07:59] ---**
The boy must be gnashing his teeth right now,
**[08:03] ---**
since he's been shown his own powerlessness.
**[08:06] ---**
Yes, I imagine so.
**[08:08] ---**
Fear and profit are the only
ties that bind in the underworld.
**[08:14] ---**
You don't have either right now.
**[08:17] ---**
That won't stop me.
**[08:19] ---**
That wouldn't stop him. Even if...
**[08:23] ---**
Even if all my pawns are stolen,
**[08:25] ---**
and the king is my only
piece left on the board...
**[08:29] ---**
He will never pull out of the game.
**[08:32] ---**
That's my master's nature.
**[08:35] ---**
Why not start acting like a demon,
and be faithful to your own desires?
**[08:39] ---**
This is harder on you than you admit.
**[08:41] ---**
You haven't eaten any humans,
any human souls, in quite some time.
**[08:46] ---**
And now you're heavily injured to boot.
**[08:49] ---**
You must be ravenous.
**[08:53] ---**
Shall we make a deal, Sebastian?
**[08:55] ---**
The true Doomsday will come in due time.
**[08:59] ---**
When that happens, I'll let you
have as many souls as you like.
**[09:02] ---**
So give up that boy.
**[09:05] ---**
No, thank you.
**[09:07] ---**
I'm tired of simply gobbling
everything I can lay my hands on.
**[09:13] ---**
My young master is the only one I want.
**[09:17] ---**
I desire nothing else.
**[09:21] ---**
I see. Then I'm afraid our
negotiations have broken down.
**[09:29] ---**
O unclean one, o tainted
one, o defiled one...
**[09:35] ---**
Perish! Be cleansed!
**[09:38] ---**
The pain you feel is a blessing from God!
**[09:42] ---**
*Ah, this pain is a sublime spice.*
**[09:46] ---**
Blood is what you offer up
for the expiation of sin!
**[09:48] ---**
*Blood is the ultimate sauce.*
**[09:50] ---**
The cursed soul must be purged with flame!
**[09:57] ---**
*Bless that solitary, defiled soul...*
**[10:04] ---**
If I can't rely on anyone's
help, that's fine.
**[10:10] ---**
I've always been alone.
**[10:12] ---**
It's the fate of all born into
the cursed house of Phantomhive.
**[10:16] ---**
*You* could never understand, Abberline.
**[10:20] ---**
Isn't that why your parents were killed?
**[10:24] ---**
I read about it in your file.
**[10:26] ---**
And I heard the story
from Commissioner Randall.
**[10:28] ---**
I know your past,
**[10:30] ---**
and I know you're
the Queen's guard dog,
**[10:32] ---**
who runs the criminal underworld.
**[10:35] ---**
And?
**[10:36] ---**
I believe our conversation is over.
**[10:38] ---**
In which case...
**[10:39] ---**
Why do you try to fight alone?!
**[10:41] ---**
Why don't you ask anyone for help?!
**[10:42] ---**
I don't need anyone on my side.
**[10:45] ---**
I'm the one playing the game.
All I need are pawns!
**[10:49] ---**
I'll be on your side!
**[10:56] ---**
Yes. I'll be on your side, Ciel.
**[11:02] ---**
Abberline...
**[11:14] ---**
You're a fool.
**[11:16] ---**
If anyone finds out,
you'll lose more than your job.
**[11:20] ---**
I'm getting married.
**[11:23] ---**
What does that have to do with it?!
**[11:25] ---**
And I'll become a father not long after.
**[11:29] ---**
So I want to make this a good country,
for my child's sake as well.
**[11:34] ---**
A country that can get along
without the "Queen's guard dog."
**[11:38] ---**
You know, I think the
times are about to change.
**[11:42] ---**
Like the tea clippers that
have finished their duty.
**[11:44] ---**
Are you serious?
**[11:46] ---**
Of course. What changes the
world is people's faith
**[11:49] ---**
that tomorrow will be better,
that they can *make* it better.
**[11:54] ---**
Who the devil *are* you?
**[11:57] ---**
Fred Abberline.
**[11:59] ---**
A detective.
**[12:00] ---**
Abby!
**[12:02] ---**
Ma'am!
**[12:03] ---**
I've found someone who
says they saw the murder!
**[12:09] ---**
A Chinese girl?
**[12:11] ---**
Yeah, she was so pretty I
thought she was Cutty Sark at first.
**[12:16] ---**
*A Chinese girl? Could it be...*
**[12:19] ---**
Did you tell anyone about this?
**[12:21] ---**
I told Havock and a white-haired man.
**[12:26] ---**
He was so dapper-looking!
**[12:27] ---**
When I told him about her, he
said I was a good, pure-hearted boy,
**[12:32] ---**
and he gave me this!
**[12:35] ---**
Give me that!
**[12:37] ---**
Do you work for the Ferros?
I'll get you your money later,
**[12:41] ---**
so please, for God's sake!
**[12:43] ---**
Hey.
**[12:45] ---**
Tell me everything.
**[12:54] ---**
So, now I rule the entire East End.
**[13:03] ---**
Bloody hell!
**[13:04] ---**
Boss! *Boss*!
**[13:09] ---**
Corraro, are you the one
**[13:12] ---**
who spread around drugs
disguised as my sweets?
**[13:15] ---**
I haven't the faintest--
**[13:17] ---**
Children are very impatient.
**[13:19] ---**
Yes, it was me.
**[13:21] ---**
And were you responsible for Stanley, too?
**[13:24] ---**
No, that was Lau!
**[13:28] ---**
Stanley was one of our sponsors.
**[13:31] ---**
We acted on his request,
**[13:33] ---**
but the fool made a move on Lau,
**[13:37] ---**
and Lau's pet tigress killed him.
**[13:40] ---**
Come to think of it, Lau
told me he was running
**[13:43] ---**
because it was all over for the Phantomhives.
**[13:48] ---**
Sounds like he got something
valuable off Stanley, but...
**[13:52] ---**
*Lau, you.*..
**[13:57] ---**
Ciel!
**[14:01] ---**
I heard you'd stoop to *anything
*to get your way, Phantomhive.
**[14:06] ---**
*This* is the best you can do?
**[14:08] ---**
True, this isn't like me.
**[14:12] ---**
Ciel?
**[14:13] ---**
That's right, there are
no rules in this world.
**[14:17] ---**
And if there are, then I'm
the one who makes them.
**[14:21] ---**
In my name and the defiled
name of my family, I order you:
**[14:25] ---**
Come, Sebastian!
**[14:29] ---**
At last.
**[14:42] ---**
Do it!
**[14:54] ---**
You're late.
**[14:56] ---**
You made me wait quite a
while as well, young master.
**[15:00] ---**
It seems that soft-hearted
dupe temporarily infected me.
**[15:04] ---**
But that's all over.
**[15:06] ---**
Sebastian, go after Lau.
**[15:08] ---**
I have no use for pawns
that defy their players!
**[15:11] ---**
You're certain, young master?
**[15:13] ---**
You won't be able to take back that order.
**[15:17] ---**
I remove anyone who stands in my way...
**[15:22] ---**
even family and friends.
**[15:24] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:26] ---**
Ciel!
**[15:28] ---**
Keep your distance from
me, or you'll get killed.
**[15:33] ---**
I work in the shadows, and
you work in the light.
**[15:36] ---**
We walk opposite paths, Abberline.
**[15:44] ---**
What's that?!
**[15:53] ---**
Fire!
**[16:03] ---**
Ah, you're finally here.
**[16:07] ---**
This is why I'm so fond of you, my lord.
**[16:15] ---**
Go, Sebastian!
**[16:17] ---**
Very good.
**[16:41] ---**
I'll take care of her.
**[16:43] ---**
All right.
**[16:45] ---**
I kill my brother's enemies.
**[16:48] ---**
Then I shall battle you.
**[17:05] ---**
It seems you've finally
found this place, my lord.
**[17:09] ---**
It's strange that we should
face each other like this.
**[17:13] ---**
But you know, I rather
thought this day might come.
**[17:18] ---**
You're right, Lau.
**[17:20] ---**
Ah, yes, what you're looking
for is on that shelf.
**[17:24] ---**
What do you suppose is
written there, my lord?
**[17:29] ---**
It's diplomatic correspondence proposing
a military alliance with Germany and Italy.
**[17:34] ---**
Your beloved Queen is
trying to plunge Europe--
**[17:37] ---**
no, the *world*-- into war.
**[17:41] ---**
She'll trigger it by invading
France through opium,
**[17:45] ---**
or rather, through Lady Blanc.
**[17:47] ---**
Yes, just as your country once
invaded mine through opium.
**[17:55] ---**
Will you still be her guard dog?
**[17:58] ---**
Is that why you betrayed me?
**[18:02] ---**
No, not at all.
**[18:04] ---**
Then why?!
**[18:06] ---**
I was your pawn.
**[18:08] ---**
The only tie that bound us was profit.
**[18:11] ---**
But you see, my lord,
**[18:14] ---**
I've been a bit bored.
**[18:17] ---**
I was bored with being your pawn,
so I wanted to play a little game
**[18:22] ---**
with our lives on the line.
**[18:33] ---**
Your small body houses magnificent power.
**[18:37] ---**
However, you're only human.
**[18:39] ---**
Why not stop now?
**[18:42] ---**
No.
**[18:44] ---**
Sebastian!
**[18:46] ---**
To think you've pushed Ran-Mao this far...
**[18:49] ---**
I see I was right all along:
**[18:52] ---**
you're not human, are you?
**[18:55] ---**
Believe what you like.
**[18:57] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[19:01] ---**
Interesting. Very interesting, my lord.
**[19:04] ---**
Can a world so interesting truly be reality?
**[19:09] ---**
Sometimes I think perhaps I've been dreaming
**[19:14] ---**
ever since that day.
**[19:16] ---**
"He couldn't decide: Was he Zhou
who'd just dreamt he was a butterfly...
**[19:23] ---**
...or a butterfly now dreaming he was Zhou?"
**[19:26] ---**
Sebastian!
**[19:28] ---**
I won't let you.
**[19:41] ---**
Abber...line...
**[19:43] ---**
Ciel...
**[19:46] ---**
You're in my way, Inspector.
**[20:09] ---**
Magnificent, my lord.
**[20:12] ---**
That's just the virtue...
or rather, the vice...
**[20:16] ---**
Lau, you...!
**[20:18] ---**
This ship is finished.
**[20:20] ---**
You've won the game, my lord.
**[20:23] ---**
Apparently I don't have what
it takes to be a player.
**[20:36] ---**
Come, Ran-Mao, let's see
the rest of the dream.
**[20:40] ---**
This entire world is a butterfly's dream.
**[20:57] ---**
Hang on, Abberline!
**[20:59] ---**
Hang on!
**[21:01] ---**
Ciel...
**[21:05] ---**
I'm glad you're all right.
**[21:09] ---**
I was like you...
**[21:11] ---**
when I lost all my family...
**[21:15] ---**
I thought I'd never have one again.
**[21:18] ---**
I thought I could never get them back...
**[21:21] ---**
But I was wrong.
**[21:24] ---**
You *can* get them back.
**[21:26] ---**
You're wrong! I--
**[21:28] ---**
You have a chance...
**[21:32] ---**
to get a future for yourself again...
**[21:37] ---**
You mustn't... forget that...
**[21:43] ---**
There's no future for me.
**[21:46] ---**
I exchanged my future for...
**[21:50] ---**
Young master.
**[21:53] ---**
You failed, Sebastian.
**[21:56] ---**
My life was in danger, but
you didn't move a muscle.
**[22:02] ---**
You were perfectly safe, my lord.
**[22:05] ---**
You didn't get hurt, did you?
**[22:08] ---**
I could tell that you wouldn't.
**[22:11] ---**
That Mr. Abberline would shield you from--
**[22:17] ---**
Abberline...
**[22:21] ---**
You damn fool.
**[22:27] ---**
*Yes. What a fool.*

*You don't need to know the
names of your targets.*
**[00:25] ---**
*There's only one thing for you to do.*
**[00:30] ---**
*This thing's in the way.*
**[00:39] ---**
*This is the only way for you to live
with those abominable eyes of yours*
**[00:42] ---**
*that can pick out even
the most distant of prey.*
**[00:47] ---**
*Isn't that so?*
**[01:02] ---**
*There's only one thing for you to do.*
**[01:07] ---**
You have incredible eyes.
**[01:10] ---**
I'd like to offer you a position.
**[01:13] ---**
Room and board would be included.
**[01:22] ---**
No experience necessary.
**[01:25] ---**
I'll teach you everything you need to know.
**[01:33] ---**
What position?
**[01:40] ---**
I've engaged a maid.
**[01:43] ---**
Right this way.
**[02:04] ---**
I've never worn a skirt before.
**[02:13] ---**
A gift from the young master.
**[02:16] ---**
"Young master"?
**[02:40] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[02:44] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[02:50] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[02:56] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[02:59] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[03:03] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[03:11] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[03:17] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[03:23] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[03:29] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[03:36] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[03:43] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[03:46] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[04:01] ---**
"His Butler, Engaging Servants"
**[04:17] ---**
--Good morning, young master!
**[04:17] ---**
--Good morning, young master, yes!
**[04:20] ---**
Good morning...
**[04:23] ---**
Young master?
**[04:24] ---**
H-He's in poor spirits, yes!
**[04:26] ---**
You're right.
**[04:27] ---**
Ah, you can tell?
**[04:30] ---**
Sure. At first glance he
looks the same as usual,
**[04:34] ---**
but *we* can see the difference.
**[04:39] ---**
Let's give his spirits a boost!
**[04:43] ---**
G-Good idea, yes!
**[04:44] ---**
We'll have a party!
**[04:46] ---**
Party!
**[04:47] ---**
Equanimity.
**[04:52] ---**
"Equanimity"
**[04:55] ---**
"Equanimity"?
**[04:56] ---**
You mean like, keepin'
yourself on an even keel?
**[04:58] ---**
In other words, we help
him relax just as usual!
**[05:02] ---**
A-All right, yes!
**[05:04] ---**
I'll polish this mansion
into the ideal living space!
**[05:07] ---**
The time has finally come to
show off my special recipes.
**[05:10] ---**
I'll make all the trees outside
look really excellent, then!
**[05:13] ---**
Let's go!
**[05:14] ---**
Right!
**[05:17] ---**
"Ho, ho, ho"
**[05:23] ---**
Cut that out, Plu-Plu!
**[05:28] ---**
You're sure full of energy!
**[05:36] ---**
Don't eat them, Plu-Plu!
**[05:44] ---**
Sorry, little birdies.
**[05:46] ---**
Sorry to you too, Plu-Plu.
**[05:50] ---**
Before I came here, the
birds were my only friends.
**[05:55] ---**
But since I came to this mansion,
I've been able to go outside every day.
**[05:59] ---**
It's so much fun!
**[06:02] ---**
Young master...
**[06:05] ---**
I wonder what this place was
like before we got here?
**[06:16] ---**
Plu-Plu?
**[06:22] ---**
I imagine this year's
Exposition will be a grand affair,
**[06:25] ---**
since it's the 100th anniversary
of the French Revolution.
**[06:28] ---**
I hear they're building a mammoth
tower in Paris for the World's Fair.
**[06:33] ---**
As I recall, it's called the Eiffel Tower.
**[06:36] ---**
Quite.
**[06:37] ---**
Doesn't it remind you of the Tower of Babel,
**[06:40] ---**
when the people incurred God's wrath
trying to build a tower to the heavens?
**[06:45] ---**
Quite.
**[06:46] ---**
According to Ash,
**[06:48] ---**
Her Majesty will be secretly
traveling to Paris to see it.
**[06:52] ---**
Quite.
**[06:54] ---**
Will Earl Grey tea suit you today, my lord?
**[06:57] ---**
Quite.
**[06:59] ---**
Once upon a time, there lived
an old man and an old woman.
**[07:04] ---**
What are you on about?
**[07:06] ---**
Ah, so you could hear me.
**[07:10] ---**
Naturally.
**[07:15] ---**
Has there been any word from Her Majesty
**[07:16] ---**
about the incident the other day?
**[07:20] ---**
None, my lord.
**[07:22] ---**
I see. That's all right, then.
**[07:29] ---**
I'll make it clean, yes!
**[07:31] ---**
I'll make it sparkling, yes!
**[07:34] ---**
Mey-Rin.
**[07:36] ---**
Sebastian!
**[07:39] ---**
What are you doing?
**[07:40] ---**
Wh-What a silly question!
I'm polishing the railing--
**[07:47] ---**
I mistook the shoe polish for the wax, yes!
**[07:54] ---**
Are you sure you don't need new glasses?
**[07:58] ---**
Isn't it about time you replaced--
**[08:00] ---**
N-No, no! These were a precious
gift from the young master, yes!
**[08:07] ---**
At any rate, please clean this off quickly.
**[08:12] ---**
Y-Yes, yes!
**[08:18] ---**
I'll take this opportunity to prepare lun--
**[08:27] ---**
Baldo!
**[08:29] ---**
I've told you a thousand times that
dynamite is not a cooking utensil.
**[08:34] ---**
I thought it'd be faster this way...
**[08:38] ---**
There's plenty of time. Why
would you need to hurry?
**[08:42] ---**
In my head I know that, but...
**[08:46] ---**
Before I came here, I'd never
taken my time makin' food.
**[08:51] ---**
I always end up rushin' and messin' it up.
**[08:55] ---**
Problem is, I've just never
gotten used to how "peace" feels.
**[09:04] ---**
I'll prepare lunch.
**[09:07] ---**
You clean up here, please.
**[09:10] ---**
Dammit! Fine!
**[09:18] ---**
I believe our conversation
is over. In which case...
**[09:21] ---**
Why do you try to fight alone?!
**[09:23] ---**
Why don't you ask anyone for help?!
**[09:25] ---**
I don't need anyone on my side.
**[09:27] ---**
I'm the one playing the
game. All I need are pawns!
**[09:32] ---**
I'll be on your side!
**[09:35] ---**
What was the matter with him?
**[09:39] ---**
The mansion before we got here?
**[09:42] ---**
Right.
**[09:43] ---**
The only one who'd know that would be Tanaka.
**[09:51] ---**
It's no use. Askin' him is a waste of time.
**[09:53] ---**
Th-There's one more person, yes!
**[10:01] ---**
The old Phantomhive home?
**[10:04] ---**
Yes, my lady. What was it
like here before we came?
**[10:10] ---**
Well...
**[10:12] ---**
Ciel's father and mother and
Aunt An were always smiling,
**[10:18] ---**
and Ciel was, too.
**[10:21] ---**
The Phantomhive home was full of smiles.
**[10:24] ---**
--That's it!
**[10:24] ---**
--That's it, yes!
**[10:27] ---**
Yay!
**[10:30] ---**
We'll fill this mansion full of smiles!
**[10:33] ---**
I-If we do that, the young master
should recover his spirits, yes!
**[10:38] ---**
That sounds marvelous!
**[10:42] ---**
Who can smile when nothing's funny?!
**[10:47] ---**
This is for the young master, yes!
**[10:49] ---**
Smile, Baldo!
**[10:50] ---**
Ow ow ow!
**[10:52] ---**
Fine! Fine!
**[10:55] ---**
I'll help, too!
**[11:14] ---**
What's happening?!
**[11:25] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[11:29] ---**
There's some time left before dinner.
**[11:31] ---**
Please relax inside until
it's time, Lady Elizabeth.
**[11:34] ---**
What's going on, Sebastian?
**[11:36] ---**
L-Lady Elizabeth!
**[11:42] ---**
Smile, right?
**[11:48] ---**
This way, please.
**[11:53] ---**
I leave it to the three of you.
**[12:03] ---**
Now, then...
**[12:30] ---**
Good day, Ciel!
**[12:35] ---**
Elizabeth! When did you get here?
**[12:38] ---**
Send over a footman with word next time!
**[12:40] ---**
Why should I send a footman
every time I want to see my fiancé?
**[12:43] ---**
Teach me to play chess!
**[12:46] ---**
Chess?
**[12:47] ---**
Yes. A lady who can't play
chess isn't worth her salt!
**[12:51] ---**
Or so my mother told me...
**[12:53] ---**
But I'm having a hard time learning.
**[12:56] ---**
And Paula's hopeless at it.
**[12:59] ---**
You're the only one I can ask, Ciel!
**[13:02] ---**
Please?
**[13:06] ---**
Pardon me.
**[13:08] ---**
Sebastian.
**[13:10] ---**
My lord?
**[13:11] ---**
Get us a chessboard.
**[13:13] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:30] ---**
There are sixty-four squares
on this chessboard.
**[13:33] ---**
You move your color's pieces one at a time,
**[13:36] ---**
and checkmate your opponent's
king before he gets yours.
**[13:45] ---**
Just what are you trying to do?!
**[13:48] ---**
Oh, but isn't it lovely?
**[13:58] ---**
What?
**[13:59] ---**
Well, it's been such a long time
since we played together like this.
**[14:06] ---**
Here we go.
**[14:07] ---**
All right!
**[14:28] ---**
What's wrong?
**[14:30] ---**
It's nothing.
**[14:47] ---**
I told you so!
**[14:50] ---**
This is a weak point in their defenses.
**[14:52] ---**
We'll break right through it
and penetrate their territory!
**[14:55] ---**
Wait! That's a trap!
**[14:57] ---**
What's the matter, Sergeant? Turning coward?
**[15:01] ---**
No! I'm sayin' there are
other ways to do this!
**[15:04] ---**
Enough! This plan is final!
**[15:24] ---**
I told you so.
**[15:27] ---**
My, such chaos...
**[15:31] ---**
Even a grim reaper would
be unequal to this task.
**[15:34] ---**
You have superb combat abilities
**[15:37] ---**
and an animal instinct that
lets you evade any trap.
**[15:40] ---**
I find you quite promising.
**[15:43] ---**
Are you an ally or an enemy?
**[15:48] ---**
Neither.
**[15:50] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[15:57] ---**
Hey! You're gonna die if you don't
go home and treat that wound quick!
**[16:13] ---**
That little cur is going to *pay*.
**[16:18] ---**
And once he's gone, it'll be
easy to do business in this country.
**[16:23] ---**
I hear villainous nobles
aren't needed anymore.
**[16:48] ---**
We'll protect this estate, yes.
**[16:54] ---**
Smile, yes! Smiles are what
will cheer up the young master!
**[17:03] ---**
Ow! Hot hot hot!
**[17:05] ---**
Help!
**[17:07] ---**
Hmm... Knight, rook, pawn, bishop.
**[17:14] ---**
Is that right?
**[17:15] ---**
Yes.
**[17:17] ---**
I learned them!
**[18:05] ---**
Stop!
**[18:07] ---**
--Let me go!
**[18:07] ---**
--This will give him power
beyond humanity's limits!
**[18:37] ---**
You're not hurt from me bumping into you?
**[18:40] ---**
You have incredible strength.
**[18:42] ---**
I'd like to offer you a position.
**[18:44] ---**
You'll receive regular wages plus
incentive pay, and twice-yearly bonuses.
**[18:48] ---**
I don't need any of that.
**[18:51] ---**
I just...
**[18:58] ---**
I want to go outside!
**[19:06] ---**
It's so beautiful...
**[19:19] ---**
Whoopsy-daisy!
**[19:21] ---**
Take that!
**[19:30] ---**
Let's see... That's the king, isn't it?
**[19:33] ---**
That's right.
**[19:34] ---**
And this is the queen. Oh, chess is so cute!
**[19:41] ---**
Your beloved Queen is
trying to plunge Europe--
**[19:44] ---**
no, the *world*-- into war.
**[19:48] ---**
She'll trigger it by invading
France through opium,
**[19:52] ---**
or rather, through Lady Blanc.
**[19:55] ---**
Yes, just as your country once
invaded mine through opium.
**[20:02] ---**
Will you still be her guard dog?
**[20:07] ---**
Yes. I'll be on your side, Ciel.
**[20:12] ---**
You have a chance...
**[20:16] ---**
to get a future for yourself again...
**[20:21] ---**
You mustn't... forget that...
**[20:31] ---**
What *are* the servants of this house?!
**[20:36] ---**
Phantomhive servants who can't
do this much aren't worth their salt!
**[20:49] ---**
Young master, Lady Elizabeth,
**[20:51] ---**
I must excuse myself.
**[20:54] ---**
I have dinner preparations to make.
**[20:56] ---**
Fine.
**[20:56] ---**
Thank you, Sebastian.
**[21:00] ---**
Let's stop here for today.
**[21:02] ---**
All right.
**[21:06] ---**
Thank you all as always for your hard work.
**[21:20] ---**
Paris, eh?
**[21:30] ---**
The true Doomsday will come in due time.
**[21:47] ---**
You had more leisure time today
than you've had in a while, my lord.
**[21:50] ---**
I trust you were able to
fret to your satisfaction?
**[21:52] ---**
I am not fretting.
**[22:06] ---**
You all look wretched. Go
change your clothes at once.
**[22:09] ---**
Yes, my lord!
**[22:23] ---**
Today's main dish is *filet
de boeuf à la Parisienne*:
**[22:29] ---**
Parisian-style grilled filet of beef.
**[22:49] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[22:56] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[23:06] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[23:13] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[23:20] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[23:27] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[23:35] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[23:42] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[24:04] ---**
*Young master, you've had
to bear far too much pain.*
**[24:07] ---**
*Even with such a frail body
and such small talons,*
**[24:11] ---**
*you kept defying fate.*
**[24:14] ---**
*Good boy, good boy.*
**[24:16] ---**
*But right now you're weak and fragile...*
**[24:20] ---**
*An unwashed gobshite not even worth killing.*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Dissolution."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Dissolution"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:20] ---**
Maria! Maria, are you there?
**[00:27] ---**
Ms. Luida...
**[00:29] ---**
Here's some beef shank stew.
**[00:31] ---**
I accidentally made too much.
**[00:33] ---**
I do hope you'll have some.
**[00:35] ---**
But where did these all come from?
**[00:47] ---**
That's a baby's rattle!
**[00:50] ---**
Who could have given them to you?
**[01:06] ---**
Finny, carry this stuff!
**[01:08] ---**
Sure!
**[01:09] ---**
Let's see... The young
master's underclothes...
**[01:12] ---**
Tanaka.
**[01:14] ---**
How is it coming along?
**[01:16] ---**
My lord, it's all been carried
out according to your orders.
**[01:20] ---**
Young master,
**[01:22] ---**
I've reserved our lodgings.
**[01:26] ---**
I see.
**[01:31] ---**
I say, young master, where
are you going on this trip?
**[01:36] ---**
You've been packing all this
time without even knowing that?!
**[01:41] ---**
Paris.
**[01:52] ---**

"His Butler, Dissolution"
**[03:22] ---**
Her Majesty arrived in Paris three days ago,
**[03:25] ---**
and should be viewing the Exposition now.
**[03:29] ---**
I'm sure the hotel will
be heavily guarded, so...
**[03:34] ---**
Young master?
**[03:37] ---**
What?
**[03:38] ---**
Your mind is somewhere else, isn't it?
**[03:42] ---**
Lau said the Queen was "trying to
plunge Europe--
**[03:46] ---**
no, the *world*-- into war."
**[03:50] ---**
Is that why you desire an audience with her?
**[03:53] ---**
No.
**[03:55] ---**
Was your heart moved by
Abberline's death, then?
**[04:00] ---**
No. This is because they were all my pawns.
**[04:04] ---**
Keep your distance from
me, or you'll get killed.
**[04:08] ---**
But that pawn ignored my orders
**[04:12] ---**
and just kept sticking his nose in.
**[04:14] ---**
The same goes for Lau.
**[04:17] ---**
Without a grasp of your pawns' motives
and strategies, you can't play the game.
**[04:22] ---**
That's all.
**[04:29] ---**
The Champ de Mars is home
to the Palace of Fine Arts
**[04:32] ---**
and a crowd of national pavilions,
**[04:34] ---**
with the Eiffel Tower designated
as the Exposition entranceway.
**[04:38] ---**
There's the Machinery Hall,
a mammoth work of iron and glass
**[04:40] ---**
representing the pinnacle
of modern technology.
**[04:44] ---**
At the Trocadéro Palace is
a horticultural exhibition.
**[04:47] ---**
At the secondary site, the Esplanade
des Invalides, there's a colonial exhibition.
**[04:52] ---**
It features a reproduction
of the ruins at Angkor,
**[04:55] ---**
folk dancing, and a Negro village.
**[05:00] ---**
For something a bit different,
**[05:02] ---**
I understand Buffalo Bill's Wild
West Show is here from the States.
**[05:09] ---**
We don't see an Expo every day, my lord.
**[05:11] ---**
Shall we look around a bit more?
**[05:14] ---**
It should give you ideas for new products.
**[05:17] ---**
Are you sure?
**[05:18] ---**
Yes, they say there's a stuffed
angel at the Palace of Wonders!
**[05:22] ---**
Now that I must see!
**[05:24] ---**
A stuffed angel?
**[05:32] ---**
What, it's just a monkey?
**[05:34] ---**
What a bore.
**[05:35] ---**
Let's be on our way.
**[05:47] ---**
What is this?!
**[05:52] ---**
This is--
**[05:53] ---**
Calm yourself, young master.
**[05:55] ---**
But...
**[05:56] ---**
You've lived in the darkness.
**[05:59] ---**
A little dimness shouldn't
put you out in the least.
**[06:04] ---**
Please, evacuate and leave this place to me.
**[06:12] ---**
*It's no hardship to run through the darkness.*
**[06:17] ---**
*My soul has been running
through the darkness all this time.*
**[06:22] ---**
Ciel...
**[06:23] ---**
Ciel...
**[06:25] ---**
*Ever since that day...*
**[06:29] ---**
*I've been running in the dark... the dark...*
**[06:47] ---**
*It's so bright.*
**[06:49] ---**
*Is this really my world?*
**[07:23] ---**
Goodness gracious, you're in a hurry.
**[07:30] ---**
You're...!
**[07:31] ---**
Ciel.
**[07:33] ---**
It's been a long time.
**[07:35] ---**
Your Majesty!
**[07:50] ---**
Look at the view from up here.
**[07:54] ---**
As she faces the next century,
**[07:56] ---**
Europe is on the verge of change.
**[07:59] ---**
However...
**[08:01] ---**
There's a stain over there.
**[08:05] ---**
There's stagnation over there.
**[08:09] ---**
There's uncleanliness right here.
**[08:12] ---**
The entire slate must be wiped clean.
**[08:17] ---**
There can be no creation without destruction.
**[08:20] ---**
In order for the new century to be pure,
**[08:23] ---**
I cleansed the house that has taken
on all that is negative in our nation:
**[08:28] ---**
the house of Phantomhive.
**[08:40] ---**
Such poor taste.
**[08:49] ---**
This is...
**[08:53] ---**
♪ London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down. ♪
**[09:00] ---**
--♪ London Bridge is falling
down, my fair lady. ♪
**[09:01] ---**
--*She's here*.
**[09:04] ---**
--*The one I searched for...!*
**[09:15] ---**
Might I ask you something?
**[09:18] ---**
What is it?
**[09:19] ---**
You didn't just kill them;
you made it beastly. Why?
**[09:24] ---**
Mind your language, Ciel.
**[09:28] ---**
I *cleansed* them.
**[09:29] ---**
That's what you call "cleansing"?
Demeaning the dead?!
**[09:33] ---**
Demeaning?
**[09:35] ---**
That's right!
**[09:36] ---**
Demeaning...?
**[09:38] ---**
I merely wanted to pay what
tribute I could to the Phantomhives
**[09:44] ---**
after they showed me such loyalty...
**[09:46] ---**
What?!
**[10:00] ---**
Surprised? She's all but
aglow with youth, isn't she?
**[10:05] ---**
Ash!
**[10:08] ---**
The loss of her beloved husband
**[10:12] ---**
ended Her Majesty's days of happiness.
**[10:15] ---**
In her grief over his death,
**[10:18] ---**
she once tried to end her own life.
**[10:28] ---**
I joined his body with her own,
**[10:34] ---**
so that she might live with
the man she loved forever.
**[10:41] ---**
His body...?
**[10:43] ---**
I can tell that my husband
is pleased with my work.
**[10:49] ---**
His body twinges inside me.
**[10:54] ---**
Twinge... twinge...
**[10:57] ---**
It's the throbbing of life.
**[10:59] ---**
The joy of truly becoming
one with the one you love...
**[11:04] ---**
I felt that if I gave the
Phantomhives that same joy,
**[11:08] ---**
it would not be a ghastly death at all.
**[11:15] ---**
The Queen and her husband firmly intend
**[11:19] ---**
to guide England to a world of perfect light.
**[11:21] ---**
That aim has purged them
of their own impurities,
**[11:25] ---**
transforming Her Majesty
**[11:29] ---**
into the chaste girl you see before you.
**[11:33] ---**
What a lofty aim!
**[11:36] ---**
She is a worthy master for an angel.
**[11:38] ---**
Angel? Don't tell me you're--
**[11:41] ---**
Ash, at least let Ciel fall to your blade.
**[11:48] ---**
Ash's blade is a thing of beauty.
**[11:52] ---**
It goes forth as the brightness
of the new century.
**[11:56] ---**
I shall draw my sword
against the beauty of thy wisdom,
**[11:59] ---**
and I shall punish the beast within thee.
**[12:02] ---**
I shall bring thee down to the pit.
**[12:06] ---**
May an immaculate heaven greet thee,
**[12:10] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[12:20] ---**
Your precious sword is
meaningless if you can't land a blow.
**[12:26] ---**
This may be the end, my young master.
**[12:31] ---**
Your orders?
**[12:36] ---**
Ciel...
**[12:38] ---**
Kill Ash.
**[12:42] ---**
Will that be all, my lord?
**[12:46] ---**
Kill the Queen!
**[12:49] ---**
Ciel!
**[12:50] ---**
Very good.
**[13:03] ---**
How dreadful!
**[13:04] ---**
Ciel, please, stop him!
**[13:07] ---**
Ciel!
**[13:13] ---**
--What's that?
**[13:14] ---**
--Watch out!
**[13:14] ---**
--Run!
**[13:20] ---**
Sebastian, stop!
**[13:23] ---**
Why?
**[13:24] ---**
We've attracted attention.
**[13:26] ---**
At this rate, the commotion
will only get bigger.
**[13:29] ---**
Why should we bother about them, my lord?
**[13:32] ---**
They're only humans.
**[13:34] ---**
No! We're withdrawing!
**[13:43] ---**
Angel wings...
**[14:11] ---**
Why did you stop me?
**[14:14] ---**
I told you: we would have
attracted too much attention. That's all.
**[14:19] ---**
I see.
**[14:21] ---**
What are you trying to say?!
**[14:23] ---**
You told me that what you wanted
**[14:25] ---**
was vengeance against the
ones who dragged you into hell.
**[14:30] ---**
Did the vow you swore that day mean nothing?
**[14:35] ---**
You have summoned me here.
**[14:38] ---**
That can never be changed, and
nothing sacrificed can be regained.
**[14:45] ---**
Now choose.
**[14:47] ---**
This is an order.
**[14:54] ---**
Kill them!
**[15:00] ---**
I will become your sword,
and carry out your revenge.
**[15:04] ---**
In exchange...
**[15:06] ---**
If you want my soul, you're welcome to it.
**[15:10] ---**
You have no doubts?
**[15:12] ---**
Don't be tedious!
**[15:15] ---**
I thought you had no doubts that day.
**[15:20] ---**
Will you still swear loyalty to the Queen,
even after learning the truth?
**[15:25] ---**
I never felt any loyalty
to her to begin with.
**[15:28] ---**
I just acted as the head of the Phantomhives.
**[15:33] ---**
You've decided you value your soul, then?
**[15:36] ---**
What would I want with my *soul*?!
**[15:38] ---**
You're being tedious. What do you--
**[15:47] ---**
You seem tired, my lord.
**[15:49] ---**
Please, return to the hotel and rest.
**[15:56] ---**
What a foul capital.
**[16:03] ---**
Ever since that day, even buttoning
my shirts has been your duty.
**[16:08] ---**
I didn't think a demon
could ever play a butler,
**[16:12] ---**
but you carried it off splendidly.
**[16:15] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who
can't do this much...
**[16:20] ---**
That's enough talk for tonight.
**[16:22] ---**
You should go to sleep, young master.
**[16:31] ---**
Forget everything and have pleasant dreams.
**[16:52] ---**
Ciel. Ciel.
**[16:57] ---**
You have a chance to get a
future for yourself again.
**[17:03] ---**
To get...?
**[17:08] ---**
Give up your title of "Queen's guard dog,"
**[17:11] ---**
give up the hatred you've
held for so long...
**[17:14] ---**
and get it back...
**[17:24] ---**
Sebastian...?
**[17:28] ---**
Sebastian!
**[17:29] ---**
Sebastian, where are you?
Where is the morning...
**[17:31] ---**
Can't you hear me?
**[17:41] ---**
Sebastian!
**[17:43] ---**
I'm Phantomhive. Room 702.
**[17:46] ---**
Do you know where my man went?
**[17:48] ---**
One moment please, my lord.
**[18:01] ---**
*The mark wasn't gone.*
**[18:04] ---**
*But...*
**[18:05] ---**
*Forget everything and have pleasant dreams.*
**[18:10] ---**
*He would never wish for my pleasure.*
**[18:14] ---**
*And "forget everything"?*
**[18:18] ---**
*That was... a farewell.*
**[18:24] ---**
I can certainly get back to London on my own.
**[18:33] ---**
Take me to the Port of Calais.
**[18:36] ---**
Excuse me? Is that any
way to ask a favor, kid?
**[18:42] ---**
How much do you want?
**[18:54] ---**
Here we are.
**[18:55] ---**
What? I said the Port of Calais!
**[18:58] ---**
Sorry, but I live in the opposite direction.
**[19:02] ---**
--Down you go...
**[19:03] ---**
--Let me down!
**[19:05] ---**
You should eventually hit
the Port of Boulogne-sur-Mer
**[19:09] ---**
if you go that way and make a few turns.
**[19:13] ---**
Get back here and do what I
paid you for, you bounder!
**[19:48] ---**
A room for the night.
**[19:50] ---**
How will you pay?
**[19:52] ---**
I can't right now, but I'll send
you the money from London later.
**[19:59] ---**
Don't get fresh with me!
**[20:01] ---**
Just who do you think I am?!
**[20:02] ---**
I'm Ciel Phantomhive!
Everyone knows that name!
**[20:06] ---**
Haven't you ever heard
of the Funtom Company?!
**[20:09] ---**
Look at this ring!
**[20:10] ---**
The family heads have passed
it down for generations!
**[20:13] ---**
You can pay with that, then.
**[20:16] ---**
I'll put you up here in
exchange for the ring.
**[20:19] ---**
That gem's not bad.
**[20:21] ---**
Shall I throw in breakfast, too?
**[20:23] ---**
What?!
**[20:27] ---**
You've got a lot of gall for
someone who runs a fleabag hotel!
**[20:40] ---**
I'm hungry.
**[20:46] ---**
It's cold. Come here.
**[20:55] ---**
Now even *you're* trying to make a fool of me?!
**[20:59] ---**
Stop!
**[21:10] ---**
I was this close to the port...?
**[21:15] ---**
*But I wandered everywhere,*
**[21:20] ---**
*unable to find it.*
**[21:23] ---**
*When it was right here all along...*
**[22:00] ---**
--Oh no, no!
**[22:02] ---**
--Water! Water! Water! Get some water!
**[22:04] ---**
Right!
**[22:49] ---**

through the burning streets of London.*

*And I no longer have a master.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Would you by any chance
like to sign a contract with me?*
**[24:16] ---**
*Don't worry; it will only hurt for a moment.*

*This is the second fire
we've had since I began*
**[00:16] ---**
*serving the Phantomhives.*
**[00:17] ---**
*All I can do is document
the story of this mansion.*
**[00:23] ---**
*That is my role. However...*
**[00:27] ---**
I suppose that is over now.
**[00:47] ---**
Strong wind today, eh?
**[00:49] ---**
Aye, and it ain't natural
how warm it is either.
**[00:52] ---**
We may see rough waters tonight.
**[00:54] ---**
I hope we get to London soon...
**[01:06] ---**
Found you, my lord.
**[01:08] ---**
Undertaker?!
**[01:22] ---**
See, that fussy bloke Will captured me...
**[01:27] ---**
Apparently he'll be shorthanded
in the London area,
**[01:30] ---**
so he roped me into this by
promising to waive my library fines.
**[01:34] ---**
The London area?
**[01:36] ---**
Yes, we have to collect a great
many souls in London tonight.
**[01:43] ---**
Look at that!
**[01:44] ---**
What is it?!
**[01:45] ---**
Ah, so it's begun.
**[02:00] ---**
They certainly put on quite the show!
**[02:04] ---**
I must be on my way.
**[02:08] ---**
Wait!
**[02:09] ---**
Why did you come here?
**[02:12] ---**
You and I have a lot of history together.
**[02:15] ---**
So I thought I'd give you fair warning:
**[02:21] ---**
My lord, in just a little while...
**[02:26] ---**
...you will die.
**[02:38] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[02:42] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[02:49] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[02:54] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[02:57] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[03:01] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[03:09] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[03:15] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[03:21] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[03:27] ---**
*But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning*
**[03:34] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[03:41] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[03:44] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[03:59] ---**
"His Butler, Up in Flames"
**[04:06] ---**
What do you mean...?
**[04:08] ---**
No!
**[04:16] ---**
You will die.
**[04:19] ---**
*Sebastian isn't with me anymore.*
**[04:23] ---**
*Which means the death awaiting me will be...*
**[04:27] ---**
...in vain.
**[04:33] ---**
*The hatred and pain are burning out.*
**[04:38] ---**
*Everything is burning away.*
**[04:42] ---**
*Burning away...*
**[04:54] ---**
It hurts, doesn't it?
You're suffering, aren't you?
**[04:57] ---**
Sorry, but I can't finish you off.
**[05:09] ---**
Oh, how busy I am...
**[05:13] ---**
Oh, how revolting that is.
**[05:18] ---**
Your Majesty, the salvation of the
land through holy flame has begun.
**[05:23] ---**
I see...
**[05:26] ---**
Isn't it wonderful to finally greet
the England of the next century,
**[05:30] ---**
the proud and unpolluted
country we aimed for?
**[05:34] ---**
What's the matter, Your Majesty?
**[05:36] ---**
Ever since we returned from Paris,
you've seemed to be in poor health.
**[05:40] ---**
Ash, look.
**[05:43] ---**
It hurts.
**[05:53] ---**
It hurts.
**[05:54] ---**
Forgive this intrusion.
**[06:00] ---**
It's begun to fester and rot.
**[06:06] ---**
I shall perform a cleansing for you.
**[06:09] ---**
No!
**[06:10] ---**
Leave his body as it is.
**[06:14] ---**
Leave it as it was that day.
**[06:16] ---**
But Your Majesty...
**[06:17] ---**
He doesn't need cleansing.
**[06:20] ---**
He's magnificent just as he is.
**[06:22] ---**
Do something for him, Ash. Help my--
**[06:25] ---**
I smell it.
**[06:31] ---**
You... are unclean.
**[06:42] ---**
She may be the Queen,
but in the end she is only human.
**[06:45] ---**
How foolish... And how sad.
**[06:49] ---**
All the tears of this corrupt land
**[06:53] ---**
stem from the moment humans
were divided into male and female.
**[06:58] ---**
No matter how much mercy we show,
**[07:00] ---**
in the end humans can never be good enough.
**[07:06] ---**
Humans can never...

*I'm going to die.*
**[07:33] ---**
*On this ship? Or...?*
**[07:44] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[07:45] ---**
We can't go back to London like this.
**[07:48] ---**
We'll have to hang about
these waters for a while and--
**[07:50] ---**
What?! We're almost there!
**[07:55] ---**
Fine. I'll get on that
ship. Get me a rowboat!
**[07:59] ---**
For one little boy?
**[08:00] ---**
Now, if you had money,
that would be another story...
**[08:03] ---**
Don't play games with me!
**[08:05] ---**
I have to get back to London or--
**[08:07] ---**
*Or what?*
**[08:13] ---**
*I didn't finish off the Queen.*
**[08:17] ---**
*No, I couldn't finish her off.*
**[08:20] ---**
If I let go of hatred,
**[08:22] ---**
the self I've been since
that day wouldn't exist.
**[08:26] ---**
That's not who I am!
**[08:28] ---**
Ciel!
**[08:30] ---**
I won't lose it.
**[08:33] ---**
I won't lose this hatred!
**[08:37] ---**
*If I let go of hatred, I don't exist.*
**[08:41] ---**
*Then... Then...*
**[08:45] ---**
Who am I now?
**[08:47] ---**
Look, kid, I'm busy, so
how about you get-- Huh?
**[08:56] ---**
Wh-What's wrong with you?!
**[09:00] ---**
Take this.
**[09:03] ---**
W-Wow! Look at that shine!
**[09:06] ---**
It's a blue diamond.
**[09:07] ---**
You don't see one of these every day.
**[09:10] ---**
Hey, what's a kid like you
doing with something like this?!
**[09:13] ---**
Just give me a rowboat!
**[09:25] ---**
Look, here he comes!
**[09:27] ---**
Are you a Frenchman?!
**[09:29] ---**
Take off your clothes!
**[09:30] ---**
Let go! What are you doing?!
**[09:32] ---**
You bloody French started this fire!
**[09:36] ---**
You're trying to start a war with England!
**[09:40] ---**
Your beloved Queen is
trying to plunge Europe--
**[09:43] ---**
no, the *world*-- into war.
**[09:48] ---**
Hold on, that's--
**[09:51] ---**
It's another frog!
**[09:53] ---**
Stop it! Stop it!
**[10:01] ---**
*What's happening?*
**[10:11] ---**
What is this...?
**[10:17] ---**
--Hey!
**[10:17] ---**
--Give me that!
**[10:33] ---**
*Is this hell?*
**[10:52] ---**
There he is.
**[10:54] ---**
So the boy is back in
London. Most impressive!
**[11:00] ---**
Well, what do you think of the view?
**[11:14] ---**
Look out!
**[11:21] ---**
What's the matter with you, yes?!
**[11:25] ---**
Y-Young master!
**[11:27] ---**
What are you doing here?!
**[11:31] ---**
I apologize, my lord, yes!
**[11:33] ---**
It's my job to protect the mansion,
yes, but... but... I...
**[11:38] ---**
Calm down. I'm not criticizing you.
Please, tell me why you're here.
**[11:43] ---**
It's Plu-Plu!
**[11:45] ---**
Pluto?
**[11:46] ---**
Any comments?
**[11:50] ---**
Compared to the Great Fire of London in 1666,
**[11:54] ---**
this blaze seems very slow-spreading.
**[11:57] ---**
You're right.
**[11:59] ---**
Once uncleanliness and vice take hold,
**[12:02] ---**
it's extremely difficult
to do away with them.
**[12:06] ---**
However, when this fire
burns everything away,
**[12:10] ---**
the long-awaited door
**[12:12] ---**
will appear on the clean land!
**[12:17] ---**
I shall open the door to the new century.
**[12:22] ---**
*Checkmate is fast approaching.*
**[12:27] ---**
*What will you do, young master?*
**[12:59] ---**
The tranquilizers aren't working!
**[13:01] ---**
Plu-Plu...
**[13:02] ---**
Did we really do the right
thing, chasing Pluto here?
**[13:06] ---**
We were hired to protect the mansion.
**[13:11] ---**
If we can't do anything anyway...
**[13:13] ---**
The mansion isn't the only
thing I want to protect.
**[13:17] ---**
I want to protect the smiles in it,
**[13:21] ---**
and the time we spend in it too!
**[13:25] ---**
For us to have that,
**[13:27] ---**
*everyone*has to be there. Even Plu-Plu!
**[13:35] ---**
Young master!
**[13:38] ---**
Mey-Rin, why the hell did you
bring the young master here?!
**[13:41] ---**
He insisted, yes!
**[13:45] ---**
Pluto!
**[13:52] ---**
You battled me for your master's sake.
**[13:56] ---**
Who could have predicted that
you'd be standing here with me now,
**[13:59] ---**
watching his tragedy play out?
**[14:02] ---**
I do not act without an order from my master.
**[14:06] ---**
And at the moment, there is
no master I'm meant to obey.
**[14:14] ---**
I've thought to myself:
**[14:17] ---**
I wouldn't mind joining forces with you
**[14:20] ---**
to rule the reborn world
**[14:23] ---**
that will dwell in this clean land.
**[14:27] ---**
Aren't I a wellspring of the
very uncleanliness you detest?
**[14:32] ---**
When you examine them closely,
all things emit their own intense light.
**[14:37] ---**
Morning and night, man and
woman, light and darkness.
**[14:42] ---**
If those things are
well-burnished and made one,
**[14:46] ---**
they return to their primal forms,
beloved of my Father.
**[14:50] ---**
You want me to be one of those vulgar
patchwork dolls you're so fond of?
**[14:55] ---**
No.
**[14:59] ---**
If you wish it...
**[15:04] ---**
...I can embrace you as a woman.
**[15:15] ---**
What are you doing?
**[15:17] ---**
W-Well... We wanted Plu-Plu to turn
back to how he was... We're sorry!
**[15:22] ---**
But I'm out of tranquilizers.
**[15:24] ---**
Are you kidding me?
**[15:26] ---**
You have *real* bullets, don't you?!
**[15:32] ---**
Are you telling us to shoot
Plu-Plu, young master?
**[15:34] ---**
Look at his eyes.
**[15:36] ---**
His mind is gone.
**[15:40] ---**
That's not the Pluto you
know. He's just a beast.
**[15:44] ---**
A beast...
**[15:46] ---**
You three know full well how wretched it is
**[15:48] ---**
to have your pride stolen,
**[15:53] ---**
to live without even a clear purpose!
**[15:58] ---**
This is an order:
**[15:59] ---**
Baldo, Mey-Rin, Finny...
**[16:01] ---**
kill that demon hound with your own hands!
**[16:11] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[16:30] ---**
He's all that I might expect from
someone who would employ a demon.
**[16:34] ---**
Unfeeling and ruthless;
a soul beyond redemption.
**[16:39] ---**
You should really join--
**[16:45] ---**
I see.
**[16:47] ---**
So fate always casts angels and
demons on opposite sides after all,
**[16:51] ---**
no matter how many years may pass.
**[17:07] ---**
Go!
**[17:11] ---**
*Yes. All I can do is rush there.*
**[17:14] ---**
*If I'm going to die...*
**[17:16] ---**
*I want to die with the soul he craves!*
**[17:19] ---**
*That's what I can do to
regain my own pride...*
**[17:32] ---**
I am Ciel, Earl Phantomhive.
**[17:36] ---**
I request an audience with the Queen to...
**[17:55] ---**
Time has stopped. Is this a trap?
**[18:00] ---**
No time to worry about that!
**[18:16] ---**
The Queen...
**[18:30] ---**
What is it?!
**[18:30] ---**
We have an intruder!
**[18:32] ---**
Who are you?!
**[18:35] ---**
The Queen...!
**[18:37] ---**
The Queen's been murdered!
**[18:39] ---**
Who did it?!
**[18:40] ---**
Who did this?!
**[18:41] ---**
What is his name?!
**[18:48] ---**
I am Ciel, Earl Phantomhive!
**[18:53] ---**
Phantomhive? So the Queen's
guard dog has turned against her?
**[18:57] ---**
I've cast off that name.
**[19:00] ---**
And I'm not the one who killed Her Majesty.
**[19:03] ---**
Do you think you can talk
your way out of this?!
**[19:05] ---**
No, probably not.
**[19:09] ---**
But I can't come to a stop here!
**[19:18] ---**
*My blood...*
**[19:20] ---**
*You can never pass through
the gates of heaven.*
**[19:25] ---**
*Do you wish to make a contract?*
**[19:28] ---**
*My death...*
**[19:31] ---**
*My soul...*
**[19:40] ---**
No way.
**[19:51] ---**
I... won't end here!
**[19:56] ---**
I see you're awake, young master.
**[20:03] ---**
Fire!
**[20:19] ---**
Sebastian...
**[20:22] ---**
You're quite right, young master.
**[20:25] ---**
You won't end here.
**[20:38] ---**
I humbly apologize for
taking unauthorized leave.
**[20:43] ---**
What were you doing?
**[20:45] ---**
Oh, I was preparing for the Last Supper.
**[20:50] ---**
Sweet, hot, and occasionally tart.
**[20:54] ---**
Using a variety of spices
to mature the flavor...
**[21:01] ---**
Thanks to you, I believe
I'll be able to enjoy
**[21:04] ---**
the ultimate soul... the ultimate supper.
**[21:09] ---**
This is an order:
**[21:10] ---**
Take me to that angel of massacre!
**[21:13] ---**
Certainly.
**[21:23] ---**
He's not human...
**[21:28] ---**
You're right.
**[21:29] ---**
I am merely one *hell* of a butler.
**[21:50] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[21:57] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[22:07] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[22:14] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[22:21] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[22:28] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[22:36] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[22:43] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[23:08] ---**
They...
**[23:09] ---**
If the servants fight seriously,
**[23:11] ---**
I would say their odds against
Pluto are about even.
**[23:16] ---**
Either way,
**[23:19] ---**
before much longer
**[23:21] ---**
I'll get to see the loser again in hell.
**[23:48] ---**
It's gathering to me...
**[23:49] ---**
The despair of the unclean
ultimately turns to divine hope!
**[23:57] ---**
It feels... wonderful.
**[24:04] ---**
*I've waited a long time, my young master.*
**[24:06] ---**
*Whenever I combed your fine, soft hair*
**[24:10] ---**
*or did up your shirt buttons one by one,*
**[24:13] ---**
*I always felt a burning surge of emotion.*
**[24:17] ---**
*And now this moment has
come at last, hasn't it?*
**[24:21] ---**
*Now, then...*
**[24:23] ---**
*Time to eat!*
**[24:25] ---**
*Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Fluent."*
**[24:26] ---**
"Next Time" "His Butler, Fluent"
**[24:29] ---**
*You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.*

**[00:13] ---**
This will joggle you for
a moment, young master.
**[00:18] ---**
"His Butler, Fluent"
**[00:34] ---**
Where are we going?
**[00:36] ---**
Here in England there are several
bridges named "Devil's Bridge,"
**[00:39] ---**
so called because legend has
it they were made by demons.
**[00:43] ---**
In contrast, the Tower
Bridge is a holy bridge
**[00:46] ---**
which I surmise that the angel
instructed Her Majesty to build.
**[01:00] ---**
Human sacrifices?
**[01:03] ---**
*This* is meant to be a "holy bridge"?
**[01:06] ---**
Taken too far, saintliness
is far beastlier than evil.
**[01:12] ---**
Please wait here, young master.
**[01:15] ---**
I'm coming along!
**[01:17] ---**
Let me put this plainly:
you would drag me down.
**[01:20] ---**
I see. In other words, you're no
match for him if you're fettered down.
**[01:26] ---**
Very well, then.
**[01:27] ---**
You shall have a prime view, my lord.
**[01:40] ---**
They're burning down...
**[01:42] ---**
Her Majesty's dream, and the human world.
**[01:46] ---**
Ah, at last, the great and
notable day of our Father cometh!
**[01:51] ---**
The signs shall be blood,
and fire, and vapour of smoke.
**[01:56] ---**
Isn't that right, demon?
**[02:01] ---**
Why did you kill the Queen too?
**[02:04] ---**
Her clouded fish-eyes.
**[02:06] ---**
Fish-eyes?
**[02:08] ---**
Her eyes should have been
fixed on the future,
**[02:10] ---**
but they were held captive by the past,
and they dulled and rotted.
**[02:13] ---**
There was nothing for me
to do but cleanse her.
**[02:18] ---**
This seat is a bit uncomfortable,
**[02:20] ---**
but I believe it has the
best view in the house.
**[02:23] ---**
I agree.
**[02:24] ---**
Your orders, my lord?
**[02:30] ---**
Kill him...
**[02:32] ---**
Kill the angel!
**[02:37] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[02:39] ---**
When this bridge is completed,
**[02:42] ---**
it will seal eastern London
from uncleanliness.
**[02:46] ---**
As an angel, I have no choice but to purge
**[02:50] ---**
any demons who alight upon this gate.
**[02:54] ---**
Purge them into pure-white beings:
**[02:57] ---**
without stain, without heart, without life.
**[03:15] ---**
Sebastian!
**[03:22] ---**
Oh, I keep reaping and reaping,
and it's just no good!
**[03:26] ---**
Hmm, I suppose wasted
effort is the privilege of youth.
**[03:31] ---**
What do you mean "wasted"?!
**[03:33] ---**
This black stuff is made of the joys,
**[03:37] ---**
agonies, and jealousies of the dead.
**[03:39] ---**
Yes, what you'd call their hearts.
**[03:42] ---**
Once the heart has slipped out of a soul,
**[03:46] ---**
it can hardly be called a soul anymore.
**[03:49] ---**
I doubt they can be stored
in the reapers' library.
**[03:52] ---**
Why should a *heart* matter?
**[03:58] ---**
Hey, it's blank!
**[04:06] ---**
This mist...
**[04:08] ---**
Yes, it feels wonderful.
**[04:12] ---**
This feels wonderful...
**[04:14] ---**
They're so warm and clammy;
**[04:16] ---**
nicer to the touch than the finest furs.
**[04:20] ---**
An angel clothed in uncleanliness?
**[04:23] ---**
How the mighty have fallen.
**[04:25] ---**
The pleasures of uncleanliness are
unpleasant and unbearable to me.
**[04:29] ---**
However...
**[04:32] ---**
The despair of uncleanliness gives me power.
**[04:52] ---**
I grow stronger and stronger.
**[04:55] ---**
Oh, what to do?
**[04:58] ---**
I still...
**[05:00] ---**
...haven't given up on you, you know.
**[05:04] ---**
I don't go in for women
who fornicate with dogs.
**[05:08] ---**
If you won't embrace me, a woman...
**[05:13] ---**
I will stay in this man's form, as the Sun...
**[05:21] ---**
...and sink my shaft into
you all the way to the hilt.
**[05:27] ---**
Your taste really couldn't get any worse.
**[05:35] ---**
The Final Judgment approaches.
**[05:38] ---**
Hear me, demon: your chest
shall be the sheath to my sword.
**[05:43] ---**
Take it into yourself!
**[05:51] ---**
Sebastian!
**[05:54] ---**
Someone's plundering souls, hmm?
**[05:57] ---**
Will!
**[05:57] ---**
It's unforgivable for anyone to
impinge on the reapers' interests.
**[06:02] ---**
Just this once, I'll take on unpaid overtime.
**[06:08] ---**
Grell Sutcliff.
**[06:11] ---**
Woo-hoo! I'm in a *deadly* good mood!
**[06:15] ---**
I'd like each of you to take
out a good number of them.
**[06:18] ---**
We'll write off the afterparty
as a business expense.
**[06:25] ---**
Demon, this pain is a blessing.
**[06:30] ---**
Supreme pleasure...
**[06:33] ---**
the zenith can only be enjoyed
by first enduring searing pain.
**[06:37] ---**
I see.
**[06:46] ---**
Sebastian!
**[06:50] ---**
*Oh, young master...*
**[06:54] ---**
*That's right-- the enemy's
only lost its queen.*
**[06:58] ---**
*The game isn't over yet.*
**[07:00] ---**
*Until I hear the final call...*
**[07:05] ---**
How dare you take your eyes off me
in the midst of our glorious battle?!
**[07:08] ---**
You spoil my mood.
**[07:39] ---**
Those blasted reapers dare to interfere
**[07:41] ---**
with this noble and hallowed ceremony?!
**[07:45] ---**
What a pity.
**[07:47] ---**
It doesn't look as though we'll
be able to greet this "zenith."
**[07:51] ---**
Shall I make my counterattack?
**[07:55] ---**
I'd hoped to have more fun with you,
but there's no help for it...
**[08:17] ---**
The demon hound!
**[08:19] ---**
They did it.
**[08:24] ---**
Useless...
**[08:27] ---**
Useless... Useless...
**[08:31] ---**
Useless...
**[08:33] ---**
They're all useless!
**[08:35] ---**
Young master!
**[08:36] ---**
Taste the flames of hell!
**[08:53] ---**
Sebastian...
**[08:57] ---**
Young master, I'd like to ask a favor.
**[09:03] ---**
Please close your eyes.
**[09:05] ---**
Sebastian...?
**[09:07] ---**
I am a butler.
**[09:09] ---**
I cannot damage my master's
impression of me by looking unsightly.
**[09:14] ---**
Please don't open your eyes until I say to.
**[09:21] ---**
All right.
**[09:32] ---**
Now I can show you my true self.
**[09:41] ---**
My unsightly, disgusting,
**[09:45] ---**
repulsive...
**[09:48] ---**
...true form.
**[09:55] ---**
A-A demon...
**[10:23] ---**
Young master, can you survive long
enough for me to count down from ten?
**[10:28] ---**
Yes!
**[10:30] ---**
Then here we go.
**[10:32] ---**
Ten!
**[10:34] ---**
Nine!
**[10:35] ---**
Revolting!
**[10:37] ---**
Eight!
**[10:38] ---**
Unclean, unfruitful...
**[10:39] ---**
Seven!
**[10:40] ---**
Unnecessary, unfertile!
**[10:42] ---**
Six!
**[10:43] ---**
Unprofitable! Unlawful!
**[10:45] ---**
Five!
**[10:49] ---**
Four!
**[10:51] ---**
Three!
**[10:53] ---**
Filth! Filth, filth, filth, filth...!
**[10:56] ---**
Two!
**[11:01] ---**
One.
**[11:29] ---**
It's over, young master.
**[12:19] ---**
*You're a liar, my lord.*
**[12:23] ---**
*You promised me you'd
live until I got to zero.*
**[12:28] ---**
*I lied.*
**[12:31] ---**
*I won't let you die yet.*
**[12:34] ---**
*That's right... you don't lie.*
**[12:39] ---**
*There's something I want to ask you.*
**[12:44] ---**
*Yes, my lord?*
**[12:46] ---**
*Who are you right now?*
**[12:48] ---**
*What a silly question.*
**[12:50] ---**
*When I stand before you,*
**[12:52] ---**
*I am ever and always one hell of a butler.*
**[13:03] ---**
So a genuine angel completes it...
**[13:07] ---**
It truly is a holy gate.
**[13:31] ---**
Hey, bring that over there!
**[13:33] ---**
Everyone form a queue! There's
still more water left!
**[13:37] ---**
Here, everybody gets two.
**[13:40] ---**
What is it?
**[13:41] ---**
Curry bread. You don't have
to stand still to eat it,
**[13:46] ---**
and most of all, it's a balm to the soul.
**[13:48] ---**
Eat up, and smile!
**[13:51] ---**
Right! Thanks!
**[13:56] ---**
And yet, perhaps this was God's way
**[14:00] ---**
of testing our spirits.
**[14:05] ---**
We stood firm in the face of disaster,
**[14:07] ---**
and used our very sorrows
as fuel to rise up again.
**[14:11] ---**
As we greet the new century,
a new British Empire is being born!
**[14:21] ---**
A false Queen standing
in the ashes of London...
**[14:26] ---**
Commissioner?
**[14:27] ---**
There's no difference between real
and fake if enough people believe.
**[14:33] ---**
That's what he didn't understand.
**[14:37] ---**
We're going.
**[14:38] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[14:44] ---**
My lady!
**[14:46] ---**
Paula.
**[14:47] ---**
They say the fires in London have died down.
**[14:50] ---**
We can go back home now!
**[14:53] ---**
And the footman I sent to Ciel's mansion?
**[14:57] ---**
I'm sorry, my lady. He still hasn't...
**[15:01] ---**
I see.
**[15:03] ---**
What pretty flowers!
**[15:07] ---**
Yes, they're so blue,
**[15:09] ---**
they made me think of Ciel's ring...
**[15:13] ---**
The ring?
**[15:17] ---**
If you'll allow me one...
**[15:23] ---**
Here!
**[15:32] ---**
Let's make another one, my lady.
**[15:35] ---**
But...
**[15:36] ---**
Another one, or two, or
three! After all, look!
**[15:39] ---**
See how many flowers there are?
**[15:43] ---**
We'll make as many rings as it takes.
**[15:47] ---**
As many as it takes...
**[16:07] ---**
You're awake, young master?
**[16:12] ---**
Where are we?
**[16:15] ---**
Do you want to know?
**[16:16] ---**
That's why I asked.
**[16:19] ---**
No, on second thought...
**[16:24] ---**
I have a feeling I don't need to know.
**[16:28] ---**
I seem to have slept for quite a while.
**[16:33] ---**
What's this?
**[16:35] ---**
Your Cinematic Record.
Apparently it's drifted all the way here.
**[16:41] ---**
I see. So this is...
**[16:46] ---**
the life I've lived.
**[16:49] ---**
I'm...
**[16:51] ---**
dead now.
**[16:54] ---**
Not yet, my lord.
**[16:56] ---**
I will be delivering your death presently.
**[17:00] ---**
I'll take full responsibility for you
until the end... as your loyal butler.
**[17:08] ---**
Elizabeth is sure to cry like a baby...
**[17:12] ---**
Yes. Lady Elizabeth's love
for you runs very deep.
**[17:17] ---**
She was a sobbing mess
when Madam Red died, too.
**[17:23] ---**
That's because she cried your tears and hers,
**[17:26] ---**
since you were being mulish.
**[17:29] ---**
Are those three dead?
**[17:33] ---**
I couldn't say, my lord. The last I saw them,
they appeared to be breathing.
**[17:37] ---**
Well, they are uncommonly stubborn, at least.
**[17:42] ---**
And Pluto?
**[17:44] ---**
Shall I collect his bones
later and bury them?
**[17:47] ---**
His bones?
**[17:51] ---**
No. What meaning could bones have?
**[17:55] ---**
Everything is...
**[17:57] ---**
Everything is what?
**[17:59] ---**
Never mind... I imagine
it's still a bit too soon
**[18:05] ---**
to speak of everything.
**[18:10] ---**
What is this light?
**[18:12] ---**
The feelings held for you by the
people who've passed through your life.
**[18:19] ---**
Feelings for me, eh?
**[18:24] ---**
They're very pretty.
**[18:25] ---**
Pretty?
**[18:27] ---**
Yes.
**[18:28] ---**
Parting with everyone doesn't make
me feel any loneliness or sadness.
**[18:32] ---**
But I do think these are pretty.
**[18:40] ---**
What's this?
**[18:42] ---**
Something I brought to keep you
occupied on the long journey, my lord.
**[18:47] ---**
It's a diary Tanaka left behind
before fleeing the mansion.
**[18:51] ---**
Tanaka?
**[18:54] ---**
*The truth that I can tell
you, young master...*
**[19:00] ---**
That can't be!
**[19:02] ---**
Her Majesty is about
**[19:05] ---**
to obliterate the Earl
Phantomhive... that is, me.
**[19:08] ---**
My lord...
**[19:10] ---**
I bear no grudge against her.
**[19:13] ---**
This is just the tide of the times.
**[19:16] ---**
But I'd like you to keep
it a secret from Ciel.
**[19:21] ---**
Even if I'm killed, he should
remain loyal to the Queen.
**[19:26] ---**
But my lord...
**[19:29] ---**
Hatred achieves nothing.
**[19:36] ---**
So that angel wasn't entirely off the mark
**[19:40] ---**
with the fraud she showed me.
**[19:43] ---**
What now, young master?
**[19:46] ---**
Nothing. All my targets for revenge are gone.
**[19:51] ---**
And...
**[19:54] ---**
Even I'm gone now.
**[20:02] ---**
A ring?
**[20:04] ---**
A blue one. Allow me...
**[20:14] ---**
That has to be difficult with only one hand.
**[20:19] ---**
I wanted to be a perfect
butler to the last...
**[20:23] ---**
But it seems that wasn't to be.
**[20:26] ---**
This is nothing.
**[20:29] ---**
That suits you very well, young master.
**[20:33] ---**
I am Ciel Phantomhive.
**[20:37] ---**
Yes... just Ciel Phantomhive.
**[21:10] ---**
Here, young master.
**[21:12] ---**
So this is where it ends?
**[21:15] ---**
Yes.
**[21:17] ---**
That bird is eyeing me.
**[21:19] ---**
Yes.
**[21:21] ---**
After you've taken my
soul, give it what's left.
**[21:25] ---**
You're as kind as ever, young master.
**[21:29] ---**
Will it hurt?
**[21:31] ---**
It will, a bit.
**[21:34] ---**
I will make it as gentle as I can, though.
**[21:36] ---**
No, go ahead and be brutal.
**[21:41] ---**
Etch the pain deep into my
soul as proof that I lived.
**[21:51] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[22:35] ---**
Now then, young master...
**[22:54] ---**
*Kurayami no naka de

"On the night of the third
anniversary of Funtom's founding,

they'll be presenting a free
play for orphaned children.
**[00:18] ---**
The show will be Hamlet."
**[00:22] ---**
I see we're getting a fair bit of press.
**[00:25] ---**
I didn't anticipate you
doing charity work like this.
**[00:27] ---**
I admire your philanthropic spirit,
young master.
**[00:31] ---**
Philanthropic?
**[00:33] ---**
These days love breeds money.
**[00:37] ---**
People will say
"Funtom gives orphaned children love."
**[00:41] ---**
We can use that to our advantage--
**[00:45] ---**
Love for the poor orphans!
Oh, it brings tears to my eyes!
**[00:50] ---**
Our young master must know
**[00:53] ---**
how they feel because he lost his own father!
**[00:58] ---**
Are you lot even listening to me?!
**[01:03] ---**
Just what I'd expect from our
young master--
**[01:05] ---**
or rather, from a *child.*
**[01:10] ---**
Hamlet, hmm?
**[01:15] ---**
After Prince Hamlet's father,
the king, is murdered,
**[01:20] ---**
Hamlet vows to avenge him
even at the cost of his own life.
**[01:23] ---**
The play might as well have
been written for you, young master.
**[01:28] ---**
It just happened to be in the
repertoire of the troupe I hired.
**[01:31] ---**
I don't care about the plo--
**[01:33] ---**
Y-Young master!
**[01:35] ---**
What? An accident?
**[01:37] ---**
Yes, my lord. The ship carrying
the actors ran into some trouble,
**[01:41] ---**
and they won't arrive in
London until next week, no!
**[01:47] ---**
The show is in three days!
**[01:49] ---**
Do you know how much advertising I've done?!
**[01:52] ---**
The press will be all over us that day.
**[01:55] ---**
We can't possibly reschedule.
**[01:59] ---**
What shall we do, my lord?
**[02:03] ---**
We have no choice.
**[02:05] ---**
Sebastian, this is an order:
**[02:07] ---**
Make the show a success-- make it
worthy of the Phantomhive name.
**[02:13] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[02:24] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[02:28] ---**
*Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat*
**[02:35] ---**
*In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe*
**[02:40] ---**
*When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you*
**[02:44] ---**
*You just leave me lukewarm*
**[02:48] ---**
*The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss*
**[02:55] ---**
*Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death*
**[03:01] ---**
*In your room, all words slip away*
**[03:08] ---**
*I want to end like this, cloaked*
**[03:14] ---**
*But the night ignores
that wish and brings morning*
**[03:21] ---**
*With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss*
**[03:27] ---**
*Paint this final night*
**[03:31] ---**
*The moon illuminates us*
**[03:45] ---**
"His Butler, Performer"
**[03:51] ---**
Well, Ran-Mao, what part do you want to play?
**[03:54] ---**
Seaweed.
**[03:56] ---**
If I'm going to be in a play,
naturally I'll be Ramakrishna!
**[04:00] ---**
Oh, Prince Soma, I just
know you'll be sublime!
**[04:03] ---**
I want to be a princess!
**[04:07] ---**
And wear a poofy skirt with three petticoats!
**[04:12] ---**
If we're going all-out,
perhaps I should put on four or five.
**[04:16] ---**
What? You, a princess?
**[04:19] ---**
That wouldn't be cute at all!
**[04:21] ---**
Seaweed, an Indian, and two princesses?
**[04:25] ---**
I told you, this is Hamlet!
**[04:28] ---**
Sebastian! Why all these amateurs?
**[04:31] ---**
Are you putting on a school play?!
**[04:33] ---**
In its proper form, a charity play
**[04:37] ---**
is something staged at home
by the master of the house.
**[04:40] ---**
It's not something you pay
a theatrical troupe to do.
**[04:44] ---**
Moreover, I believe this particular group...
**[04:49] ---**
...will tolerate a bit of harsh direction.
**[04:57] ---**
Naturally, you'll be
performing as well, young master.
**[05:01] ---**
I'm sure you understand
**[05:03] ---**
what the best response is to this crisis.
**[05:08] ---**
After all, you're an *adult*, aren't you?
**[05:12] ---**
"Vocal Exercises"
**[05:19] ---**
It's time to begin.
**[05:21] ---**
We'll start with vocal exercises.
**[05:39] ---**
No hanky-panky.
**[05:41] ---**
Go!
**[05:46] ---**
Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[05:50] ---**
No curry.
**[05:51] ---**
It's very good.
**[05:52] ---**
There's plenty to go around, if you'd like--
**[05:55] ---**
No, thank you.
**[05:58] ---**
Next, performance training.
**[06:00] ---**
"Performance Training"
**[06:04] ---**
"To be, or not to be: that is the question."
**[06:10] ---**
Young master, put more heart into it.
**[06:13] ---**
--"T-To be, or not to be--"
**[06:16] ---**
--That's a *dead* certainty!
Not to be, of course!☆
**[06:23] ---**
What pathetically dull acting!
**[06:26] ---**
Do us all a favor and drop dead
this instant, you hideous Hamlet!
**[06:30] ---**
Grell! What are you doing here?
**[06:32] ---**
Who's that? I have the strangest
feeling I've seen him before...
**[06:37] ---**
You have no heart. No heart!
**[06:40] ---**
You're not conveying
Hamlet's tortured anguish!
**[06:43] ---**
You have to make it echo through the theater!
**[06:45] ---**
Come on, do it like *this*.
**[06:49] ---**
"To be, or not to be: that is the question."
**[06:55] ---**
No!
**[06:56] ---**
♪ That's no question at all! ♪
**[07:02] ---**
♪ Not at all! ♪
**[07:04] ---**
♪ When I met you, it changed me! ♪
**[07:08] ---**
♪ The important thing is *love*! ♪
**[07:15] ---**
No, I unquestionably recommend death to you.
**[07:19] ---**
I see that love stands always
but a step away from death!
**[07:23] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan*, my excitement increases!
**[07:29] ---**
Still, this melodramatic, dubious acting...
**[07:34] ---**
It may be worth making use of
for a limited period of time.
**[07:38] ---**
At any rate, none of you have
a sufficient sense of urgency.
**[07:41] ---**
Put more into this.
**[07:43] ---**
I told you, no curry!
**[07:45] ---**
It's very good.
**[07:46] ---**
Seaweed.
**[07:48] ---**
Here.
**[07:50] ---**
See? Pink hats really are the best kind!
**[07:54] ---**
Sebastian?
**[08:01] ---**
Hamlet.
**[08:04] ---**
The lack of even the faintest
ray of hope in its plot
**[08:07] ---**
prompts people to group it with
Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth
**[08:11] ---**
as one of Shakespeare's
four greatest tragedies.
**[08:16] ---**
In order for you to
truly understand Hamlet,
**[08:19] ---**
I'll first give you a taste
of the Phantomhive tragedy.
**[08:32] ---**
S-Sebas-*chan*, how terrifying you are!
**[09:10] ---**
Oh, look, the viscount!
**[09:20] ---**
The house is packed!
**[09:22] ---**
Woo-hoo! Now I'm gettin' worked up!
**[09:29] ---**
Ah, now I'm really
showing my stuff as an actress.
**[09:34] ---**
Ugh, this costume isn't cute at all!
**[09:42] ---**
Where is the young master?
**[09:43] ---**
E-Er, I think he went to the W.C., yes...
**[09:51] ---**
So here you are.
**[09:55] ---**
It's a bit too late to say you
don't like the part, young master.
**[10:00] ---**
A young prince who loses his
father and burns for revenge...
**[10:05] ---**
You deliberately gave me this part.
**[10:11] ---**
Not only do you have no acting experience,
**[10:13] ---**
you also lack the dexterity
to button your own shirts.
**[10:18] ---**
I felt casting you in a part
too different from yourself
**[10:21] ---**
would be hard on you, my lord.
**[10:23] ---**
What?!
**[10:24] ---**
What's the harm in it?
**[10:28] ---**
Let's make this a prelude to
the bloody revenge coming.
**[10:35] ---**
Young master, are you all ready?
**[10:39] ---**
The curtain is finally
rising on this tale of revenge.
**[11:01] ---**
*An adult's holiday.*
**[11:05] ---**
*Pluto knows there are certain tastes
only a connoisseur can appreciate.*
**[11:12] ---**
Crunchy and bracing!
**[11:15] ---**
Headlong doggie!
**[11:19] ---**
*Inukko: a Funtom Company product.*
**[11:27] ---**
The previous king of Denmark has died,
**[11:31] ---**
and his younger brother
Claudius has been crowned king!
**[11:36] ---**
The late king's wife, whom
he'd loved unconditionally,
**[11:41] ---**
has become the bride of the new ruler!
**[11:46] ---**
Oh, I'm ever so sad that my brother died,
**[11:50] ---**
but since *we're* still alive,
we must enjoy ourselves!
**[11:55] ---**
I quite agree.
**[11:57] ---**
Slip...
**[11:59] ---**
Oh, you're perfect!
**[12:02] ---**
Such stiff ribs!
**[12:06] ---**
Tickle, tickle, tickle...
**[12:11] ---**
I know I said I wanted laughter,
but a direct attack like this is cheating!
**[12:17] ---**
Tickle, tickle, tickle!
**[12:24] ---**
The late king's son Hamlet
**[12:27] ---**
encounters him as a ghost!
**[12:32] ---**
O Father, what may this mean,
that thou appearest before me so?
**[12:41] ---**
I see, my vile uncle Claudius
**[12:44] ---**
hath killed thee by pouring
poison in thy ear?
**[12:52] ---**
Yes, I see.
**[12:55] ---**
Thou bid'st me take revenge in thy place.
**[13:00] ---**
But of course, Father!
**[13:03] ---**
He can understand that?
**[13:05] ---**
Tanaka is a magnificent actor who
can convey it all with his aura, yes!
**[13:08] ---**
More importantly, why am I a stagehand?!
I don't accept this!
**[13:13] ---**
It's because you're eating curry.
**[13:15] ---**
Father... Thy hatred hath survived
**[13:20] ---**
the very fires of hell.
**[13:24] ---**
Here and now I swear I shall avenge you!
**[13:30] ---**
What an enthusiastic performance!
**[13:33] ---**
Damn it, man, move that
light further to the right!
**[13:35] ---**
I ask you, why am I a stagehand?!
**[13:38] ---**
I tell you, because you're eating curry.
**[13:41] ---**
Now, how is the audience reacting?
**[13:50] ---**
It seems Hamlet is too
difficult for children to understand.
**[13:54] ---**
In order to deceive his uncle,
**[13:57] ---**
Hamlet pretends to be
disappointed in his love for Ophelia,
**[14:01] ---**
the daughter of the king's
chief counsel, and go mad!
**[14:06] ---**
Ah, what a sinful woman I am!
**[14:13] ---**
Ophelia, there you are!
**[14:15] ---**
Father! Hmm, now that
I get a better look at thee,
**[14:19] ---**
I see thou art quite handsome!
**[14:22] ---**
Never mind that Hamlet, I fancy *you*, Father!
**[14:27] ---**
Such a honeyed scent
doth forbidden love have!
**[14:35] ---**
What depravity!
**[14:37] ---**
Only Brahmā could be forgiven
such acts between father and daughter!
**[14:43] ---**
But...
**[14:45] ---**
What with one thing
and another, Ophelia died!
**[14:49] ---**
No! It's not Ophelia's death scene... yet...
**[14:55] ---**
Agents who die in the
field receive no burial!
**[14:58] ---**
Let's toss her in the river!
**[15:05] ---**
Father...
**[15:08] ---**
--♪ Seaweed. Oh how I love it... ♪
**[15:18] ---**
--Goodness, she seems to be a hit.
**[15:21] ---**
--Seaweed!
**[15:23] ---**
--Hey, it's seaweed!
**[15:25] ---**
--It sounds like she's popular
with the tadpoles, yes.
**[15:29] ---**
--I don't get kids.
**[15:32] ---**
Now that the ice is broken,
**[15:34] ---**
the young master's big scene is here at last.
**[15:41] ---**
To be, or not to be:
**[15:47] ---**
That is the question.
**[15:49] ---**
My uncle is a cunning man.
**[15:53] ---**
Even if I'm able to carry out my revenge,
**[15:56] ---**
I shan't escape alive.
**[15:58] ---**
And... the truth is...
**[16:06] ---**
*I don't want* to die.
**[16:12] ---**
Quit being a coward, Hamlet!
**[16:15] ---**
Drive out that foolish,
stunted soul of thine this instant!
**[16:22] ---**
My vow is a bloody one.
**[16:28] ---**
There's no turning back now!
**[16:38] ---**
Now let me be off, before the
blazing sun in my blood rises.
**[16:47] ---**
Hey!
**[16:48] ---**
The young master is amazing!
**[16:52] ---**
Yes, very true-to-life.
**[17:00] ---**
Oh, that fury that makes
his slender limbs tremble!
**[17:03] ---**
That burning rage is like an aloof ruby!
**[17:08] ---**
Oh, dear. Pardon me.
**[17:12] ---**
Well, well. That performance
resonated even with the children.
**[17:17] ---**
Now, then...
**[17:20] ---**
I'm on.
**[17:23] ---**
Hamlet and Ophelia's brother
Laertes must cross blades
**[17:28] ---**
in a fencing match arranged by the king!
**[17:41] ---**
But the tip of Laertes's sword
is coated with a poison
**[17:44] ---**
that will kill a man after just
the faintest scratch of his blade!
**[17:50] ---**
I-I'm scared...
**[17:53] ---**
Thou art Ophelia's brother, then?
**[17:56] ---**
I have heard thy skill is great!
**[17:59] ---**
I have heard the same of thine.
**[18:01] ---**
I hope thou shalt go easy on me.
**[18:05] ---**
Now, I think that's enough chat!
**[18:09] ---**
We'll have a ten-point match.
**[18:11] ---**
And now...
**[18:14] ---**
let the match be--
**[18:15] ---**
Hamlet, no!
**[18:17] ---**
That old guy's sword is poisoned!
**[18:22] ---**
"Old guy"?
**[18:23] ---**
Yeah, they lied when they
said this was a fencing match!
**[18:27] ---**
They're trying to kill you, Hamlet!
**[18:29] ---**
You should stop! You should
stop trying to get revenge, okay?
**[18:33] ---**
I don't want any stupid revenge!
**[18:35] ---**
Don't die, Hamlet!
**[18:37] ---**
"Don't die"...
**[18:39] ---**
Young master! Your line, your line!
**[18:43] ---**
My line?
**[18:48] ---**
Oh, it's hopeless!
**[18:50] ---**
You there! Draw the curtains!
**[18:51] ---**
R-Right, yes! Er...
**[18:54] ---**
No, wait.
**[18:56] ---**
How dare thee let thy eyes wander?
**[19:06] ---**
The farce is over. I'll tell thee the truth.
**[19:10] ---**
My beloved sister's sweet life was ended
**[19:15] ---**
because of her involvement with thee!
**[19:17] ---**
Wait! This isn't in the script!
**[19:20] ---**
I shall win my revenge by slaying thee!
**[19:24] ---**
My beloved Ophelia...
**[19:26] ---**
♪ Stop the fighting! ♪
**[19:29] ---**
♪ Don't you fight over me! ♪
**[19:34] ---**
What the devil is he doing?!
**[19:36] ---**
When did he get a gondola?!
**[19:37] ---**
It's not fair to take the
spotlight all for yourself!
**[19:39] ---**
I'm going to go out there and--
**[19:40] ---**
Wait! If you go out there now--
**[19:43] ---**
Not fair! Not fair!
**[19:45] ---**
Ophelia?! I thought you were dead!
**[19:48] ---**
When my dear brother's
love rained down upon me,
**[19:51] ---**
the flower of life bloomed
anew with deadly haste!☆
**[19:56] ---**
Oh, dear brother! You are truly the one for--
**[20:05] ---**
Ouchies!
**[20:08] ---**
So *this* is where you've been dallying,
**[20:12] ---**
Grell Sutcliff.
**[20:13] ---**
Will!
**[20:15] ---**
This is an outrage.
Not only have you deserted your post,
**[20:18] ---**
you're actually putting on a
charity play with a loathsome demon.
**[20:20] ---**
Ah, now three men are fighting over me!
**[20:25] ---**
Stop, stop, stop! No fighting!
**[20:28] ---**
You just leave everything to me,
Ramakrishna, avatar of the sun!
**[20:33] ---**
Prince Soma!
**[20:35] ---**
Ophelia came back to life!
**[20:37] ---**
Go get him, Rama-whatsit!
**[20:42] ---**
This is a mess! What a foolish--
**[20:45] ---**
Yes, it is foolish.
**[20:48] ---**
Revenge is foolish.
**[20:50] ---**
All it offers is confusion
and a brief fever of excitement.
**[20:55] ---**
When the curtains close on
this pipe dream, nothing is left.
**[21:01] ---**
Isn't that right, my lord Hamlet?
**[21:04] ---**
Seba-- I mean, I never
thought I'd hear you say...
**[21:07] ---**
Quite so!
**[21:09] ---**
Revenge is utterly meaningless!
**[21:12] ---**
Ramakrishna, avatar of
the sun, guarantees it!
**[21:16] ---**
H-Hey!
**[21:18] ---**
A demon's master who
can't ad-lib isn't worth his salt.
**[21:25] ---**
Hamlet...
**[21:30] ---**
That's right.
**[21:35] ---**
I'll forget about revenge and live on!
**[21:39] ---**
I will live as long as Nature allows me to!
**[21:50] ---**
Magnificent!
**[21:52] ---**
This is the true Hamlet
**[21:54] ---**
which transcends a mere revenge play!
**[21:57] ---**
I long to wrap this pitiable yet dignified
Hamlet in the bacon of my arms!
**[22:01] ---**
Ham, ham-ham, I'll be your eggs, Ham...!
**[22:16] ---**
*Thank you.*
**[22:19] ---**
*All the world's a stage,*
**[22:23] ---**
*and all the men and women merely players.*
**[22:28] ---**
*We meet and begin our drama.*
**[22:32] ---**
*And sooner or later, the curtain closes.*
**[22:37] ---**
*Thank you. Thank you.*
**[22:42] ---**
*Thank you.*
**[23:04] ---**
*The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating*
**[23:11] ---**
*The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark*
**[23:21] ---**
*With the secret you gave me as my guide*
**[23:28] ---**
*I move through the blue night's stillness*
**[23:35] ---**
*Lacrimosa, I want to love once again*
**[23:42] ---**
*The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance*
**[23:50] ---**
*I'll hide my dreams within my eyes*
**[23:57] ---**
*Until the tears fall on my sullied heart*
**[24:20] ---**
That was fun!
**[24:22] ---**
Hamlet was so dashing!
**[24:28] ---**
A smashing performance, and it
was all thanks to you, Ran-Mao!
**[24:31] ---**
Seaweed.
**[24:32] ---**
Hmm? Where'd Ophelia go?
**[24:35] ---**
That chap with the side part
took her off somewhere.
**[24:37] ---**
Beat her black and blue first, too!
**[24:44] ---**
You seem out of sorts for someone
whose Hamlet was such a success.
**[24:50] ---**
I'll have you know I don't
seriously intend to forget revenge.
**[24:55] ---**
I know, my lord.
**[24:57] ---**
In the end, stories enacted on the
stage are naught but pipe dreams.
**[25:01] ---**
And after all, it would be quite
an inconvenience for me if you were
**[25:04] ---**
to forget about revenge.
**[25:07] ---**
Ciel!
**[25:11] ---**
Now we're going to celebrate
with a party at your manor!
**[25:14] ---**
What? But...
**[25:16] ---**
I made a trip home during the intermission
**[25:18] ---**
and prepared all the
ingredients for the feast.
**[25:21] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[25:31] ---**
*I'll forget about revenge and live on...*

Sorry, but I'm a fishmonger,

*Darkness...*
**[00:17] ---**
*Darkness...*
**[00:22] ---**
*Darkness.*
**[00:31] ---**
*Darkness is coiling itself around me...*
**[00:41] ---**
*I am ensnared by the darkness,*
**[00:45] ---**
*and every last drop of my blood*
**[00:48] ---**
*will be drained away
by the blade piercing me.*
**[00:54] ---**
*That said...*
**[00:56] ---**
*That said, I still want this.*
**[00:59] ---**
*In that case...*
**[01:01] ---**
*...scream.*
**[01:04] ---**
*Rend the darkness with your scream.*
**[01:09] ---**
*I want this! I want you!*
**[01:19] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*

*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[01:45] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[01:52] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[01:58] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[02:06] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[02:13] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[02:21] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*

never-ending sorrow steals you away*

*Our two hearts will never grow apart*

"Clawed Butler"
**[03:06] ---**
Master, this morning's tea is
Her Majesty's Blend from Ridgways.
**[03:38] ---**
Did I irritate you?
**[03:40] ---**
No.
**[03:48] ---**
If you'll excuse me...
**[04:07] ---**
Hannah, don't you think
fried eggs are rather pitiful?
**[04:12] ---**
Shells broken open, nakedly
exposed for all eyes to see...
**[04:19] ---**
They'll never grow into
eyes, or organs, or wings:
**[04:22] ---**
all their possibilities are wiped out by me.
**[04:34] ---**
Hannah.
**[04:42] ---**
Truly pitiful.
**[04:49] ---**
Claude's told you, hasn't he?
**[04:51] ---**
The maid mustn't look
directly at her master.
**[04:57] ---**
You'll have to forgive me.
**[04:59] ---**
If I don't punish you,
Claude will be outraged.
**[05:13] ---**
Clean this up at once.
**[05:30] ---**
Arnold Trancy will be dining with us today.
**[05:35] ---**
He just wants money.
**[05:37] ---**
This time a priest will be joining him.
**[05:40] ---**
It seems he has doubts about
your time "held hostage by the fairies."
**[05:45] ---**
What should I do, Claude?!
**[05:46] ---**
I changed all that old loon's decorating!
**[05:49] ---**
The nasty curtains, the rugs with
the odd patterns, the knick-knacks...!
**[05:53] ---**
Not to worry. I'll take
care of everything at once.
**[05:57] ---**
Really?
**[05:59] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[06:17] ---**
One, two, three...
**[06:40] ---**
Now...
**[07:28] ---**
I transform day into night, sugar
into salt, creatures into corpses...
**[07:32] ---**
...and navy into golden.
**[07:35] ---**
"That's what makes a Trancy
butler"--that's your line, right?
**[07:40] ---**
That's my Claude.
**[07:42] ---**
As long as I have you,
I don't need those useless clods.
**[07:46] ---**
But... this is where
I prefer to display my roses.
**[07:57] ---**
*Olé*!
**[08:03] ---**
Eat shit.
**[08:07] ---**
I'm deeply honored that you
made the time to come today, Father.
**[08:12] ---**
And I didn't dare to hope the
Viscount Druitt would join us...
**[08:15] ---**
Oh, it was the least I could do.
**[08:18] ---**
I owe a lot to Uncle Trancy, after all.
**[08:22] ---**
When someone lends me
his help in these hard times,
**[08:26] ---**
I, Druitt, repay him twofold!
**[08:28] ---**
Verily I say, it is
deflation born of devotion!
**[08:30] ---**
E-Er... At any rate,
**[08:33] ---**
you say you find the current
family head, Alois Trancy, suspicious?
**[08:37] ---**
Yes.
**[08:38] ---**
My nephew Alois Trancy was
kidnapped soon after his birth.
**[08:44] ---**
My sister-in-law
killed herself in despair.
**[08:48] ---**
My brother searched for his son.
He looked everywhere...
**[08:52] ---**
And one day, Alois came
home--with a jet-black butler.
**[09:00] ---**
But right afterwards my
brother died of an infection,
**[09:04] ---**
and Alois became the Trancy family head.
**[09:09] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[09:10] ---**
And there's no proof that
he's Earl Trancy's legitimate son?
**[09:14] ---**
That's right.
**[09:15] ---**
I know your eyes can
discern the truth, Father.
**[09:18] ---**
And you, Lord Druitt, had
such deep ties to the previous earl.
**[09:20] ---**
I'd like you two to expose
that child for what he really is.
**[09:25] ---**
Uncle Arnold!
**[09:33] ---**
Alois!
**[09:34] ---**
Oh, what a grievous mistake God has made!
**[09:37] ---**
How could such unsullied beauty
dwell in the flesh of a young boy?!
**[09:41] ---**
Yet I shall forgive thee, O Lord! Amen.
**[09:46] ---**
E-Er...
**[09:55] ---**
Oh, it's all just as it was
when Uncle Trancy was alive!
**[10:01] ---**
A glittering mansion of gold!
**[10:04] ---**
The legend of Cipangu
springs to life in its sublime gleam!
**[10:08] ---**
Yes, I haven't changed even the
smallest thing since my father's time.
**[10:13] ---**
I...
**[10:15] ---**
don't want to lose my
father's warmth or essence.
**[10:20] ---**
That shows your love for him.
**[10:27] ---**
I lived a sickeningly long
time in a certain village.
**[10:35] ---**
I don't even know
what the place was called.
**[10:37] ---**
Or how long I was there...
**[10:40] ---**
I was worked like a slave, and
not even allowed to go outside.
**[10:45] ---**
Goodness!
**[10:47] ---**
There was just one boy
in the same situation...
**[10:50] ---**
I thought of him as a younger brother.
**[10:54] ---**
But that day... that night...
**[11:11] ---**
What is this?
**[11:13] ---**
Inside the rippling flames,
the broken-off screams,
**[11:17] ---**
just quietly lying there... darkness.
**[11:21] ---**
So there you are!
**[11:26] ---**
Wh-What's wrong with you?
Don't tell me you're...
**[11:29] ---**
Are you dead?
**[11:34] ---**
No... No!
**[11:37] ---**
Don't leave me alone! Please!
**[11:44] ---**
What in the world
happened to that village?
**[11:46] ---**
I don't know either. But...
**[11:49] ---**
My father came to take me home.
**[11:52] ---**
I thought, "I'm not alone!
I finally have love!"
**[11:57] ---**
But then he...
**[11:59] ---**
You poor child!
**[12:01] ---**
O Lord, I cannot forgive you after all!
**[12:05] ---**
Despair is a sin.
**[12:07] ---**
You are one of God's beloved children.
**[12:09] ---**
I'll help you in any way I can.
**[12:14] ---**
Thank you.
**[12:16] ---**
But I'll be all right.
**[12:19] ---**
For one thing, I have Uncle Arnold!
**[12:22] ---**
U-Uh, yes, quite so.
**[12:24] ---**
I say, Uncle Arnold.
**[12:27] ---**
Yes?
**[12:28] ---**
Don't lean your face too
close to me. Your mouth stinks.
**[12:45] ---**
That damn brat!
**[12:47] ---**
Wait, Uncle Arnold!
**[12:50] ---**
You only want money, right?
**[12:53] ---**
Here, you can have these!
**[12:56] ---**
These moldy old notes
aren't fit to feed a goat with!
**[13:00] ---**
Here, deeds to land!
I'll give you horses, too!
**[13:05] ---**
Take all of it!
**[13:11] ---**
Hey! Get down here and pick them up!
**[13:15] ---**
Look at him bluster around,
Claude, it's like he's dancing!
**[13:18] ---**
What a pitiful sight!
**[13:23] ---**
Claude.
**[13:24] ---**
Yes?
**[13:25] ---**
You laugh too.
**[13:35] ---**
There's a storm coming.
**[13:52] ---**
A storm has come.
**[14:10] ---**
What brings you here
at this time of night?
**[14:12] ---**
I've been caught outside in the storm...
**[14:14] ---**
Might I trouble you for a night's lodgings?
**[14:21] ---**
Wow!
**[14:22] ---**
He's just so filthy!
He's like a drowned rat!
**[14:28] ---**
But...
**[14:30] ---**
You smell nice.
**[14:32] ---**
What's your name?
**[14:36] ---**
We'll let him stay with us.
**[14:37] ---**
Got that, Claude?
**[14:46] ---**
Try this too. Claude's
cooking is disgustingly good!
**[14:49] ---**
Yes, it's quite magnificent. However...
**[14:54] ---**
There's a tiny speck of
sauce on the rim of the plate.
**[14:58] ---**
I don't sense the mere
trifling care it would take
**[15:00] ---**
to dab it with a cloth.
**[15:03] ---**
My apologies. I'll clear this away.
**[15:07] ---**
I didn't realize a man who doesn't
remove his coat at the dining table
**[15:09] ---**
would have such delicate sensibilities.
**[15:12] ---**
You flatter me.
**[15:23] ---**
Pardon me.
**[15:27] ---**
Whatever happened to your eye?
**[15:32] ---**
Nothing.
**[15:33] ---**
I'm impressed you can
still perform your duties.
**[15:37] ---**
Hannah.
**[15:38] ---**
What are you doing here, Hannah?
**[15:41] ---**
I came to change the water, my lord.
**[15:44] ---**
Hmm. Are you sure you weren't
trying to arouse this traveler's interest
**[15:47] ---**
by wearing that silly
bandage and acting pathetic?
**[15:54] ---**
Get out of here, you tart!
**[16:05] ---**
Sorry, Sir.
**[16:07] ---**
Is she all right?
**[16:09] ---**
Don't ask me.
**[16:10] ---**
She's so creepy. I never
know what she's thinking.
**[16:15] ---**
Actually... I don't know
what anyone is thinking.
**[16:20] ---**
Say, what's in that trunk
of yours? Clothes? Sweets?
**[16:27] ---**
I'm jealous.
**[16:29] ---**
It must be fun to travel places.
I want to try traveling, too.
**[16:34] ---**
This mansion is so dull.
**[16:36] ---**
Dull?
**[16:39] ---**
But I've been told there's something
interesting underneath this mansion.
**[16:43] ---**
Really?
**[16:44] ---**
If you show it to me,
I'll show you what's in this trunk.
**[16:58] ---**
This way.
**[17:18] ---**
That must be it.
**[17:27] ---**
It's only tea.
**[17:29] ---**
"New Moon Drop"...
**[17:31] ---**
People say that tea leaves
plucked on the night of the full moon
**[17:34] ---**
have a clear, sweet smell,
**[17:36] ---**
but these are the opposite:
tea leaves plucked at new moon.
**[17:39] ---**
They give off an indistinct scent
**[17:41] ---**
that brings to mind a bottomless darkness.
**[17:44] ---**
It's otherwise known as
"the soul's temperature."
**[17:48] ---**
Not yet.
**[17:49] ---**
"Yet"?
**[17:51] ---**
It's all right; I promise to
show it to you. But first...
**[17:54] ---**
First, give me that trunk.
**[18:06] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis!
**[18:16] ---**
He's getting away!
**[18:21] ---**
Don't kill him! You mustn't kill him!
**[18:23] ---**
Catch him, Claude!
**[18:29] ---**
You value the trunk above your own life?
**[18:33] ---**
Well, then!
**[18:40] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive?
**[18:45] ---**
I finally have you, Ciel!
**[18:48] ---**
I'm afraid not.
**[18:52] ---**
I won't let you touch him.
**[18:54] ---**
It would defile my young master
**[18:58] ---**
to have someone so
foul and vulgar touch him.
**[19:01] ---**
What?!
**[19:04] ---**
Letting your shoes touch
something that carries food?
**[19:07] ---**
That's no fit behavior for a butler!
**[19:10] ---**
Nonsense. I am merely--
**[19:13] ---**
No, it's not time for that yet.
**[19:21] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis!
**[19:28] ---**
I seem to recall that your way is
**[19:31] ---**
"day into night, sugar into
salt, and navy into golden."
**[19:37] ---**
Well, then, I shall transform golden...
**[19:40] ---**
...into black.
**[19:45] ---**
It's dark... Claude, I'm scared!
**[19:49] ---**
Light!
**[20:05] ---**
After him! Quickly!
**[20:10] ---**
No, not you, Claude! Don't go!
**[20:13] ---**
But...
**[20:15] ---**
Don't leave me...
**[20:19] ---**
Don't leave me alone... please...
**[20:22] ---**
Don't leave me alone, Claude. Please.
**[20:26] ---**
Master...
**[20:31] ---**
We are constant companions.
**[20:36] ---**
Day and night, sugar and
salt, creature and corpse...
**[20:41] ---**
...defiled and immaculate.
**[20:43] ---**
No.
**[20:45] ---**
He was right... I'm nothing
but a foul little brat.
**[20:53] ---**
You are my master.
**[20:55] ---**
Forget it. I know you're the same...
**[21:00] ---**
I am your loyal servant. You needn't
set out to arouse my interest.
**[21:05] ---**
I intend to make one
hell of a feast out of you.
**[21:12] ---**
Forget it! Everyone can just...
**[21:16] ---**
...get swallowed up by the darkness.
**[21:37] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[21:44] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[21:51] ---**

*In a starless night sky*
**[22:46] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[23:26] ---**
Young master.
**[23:49] ---**
Now then, young master...
**[23:54] ---**
It's time to wake up.
**[24:04] ---**
*It's been some time since I've seen you all.*
**[24:07] ---**
*Goodness, you're looking at me strangely.*
**[24:11] ---**
*Oh, I see, another butler.*
**[24:14] ---**
*It's uncommonly hot this summer, isn't it?*
**[24:17] ---**
*I didn't realize it would
actually make people delusional.*
**[24:20] ---**
*I'm sure you agree there is but
one true butler: Sebastian Michaelis.*
**[24:24] ---**
*Next time: "Solo Butler."*
**[24:27] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler*
**[24:29] ---**
*who can't catch a giant
tuna isn't worth his salt.*

**[02:58] ---**
This area has been plagued
by floods for a long time.
**[03:02] ---**
I am delighted at the addition of a
new floodgate on Phantomhive lands
**[03:07] ---**
thanks to your support.
**[03:12] ---**
I intend to fully commit myself to
the difficult task of flood control,
**[03:16] ---**
as my family before
me has for generations.
**[03:37] ---**
I say, that speech of the earl's
was just shameless, wasn't it?
**[03:40] ---**
And I hear the company he runs
**[03:43] ---**
is making more money than they
know what to do with. From what I hear...
**[03:47] ---**
Oh, my! That much? That's just indecent.
**[03:50] ---**
I certainly hope the child's
vanity doesn't get him into trouble.
**[03:55] ---**
Now, now, who's the man
who wishes for that most of all?
**[03:58] ---**
That's what I'd like to know.
**[04:02] ---**
Could I ask you to share the
wisdom of your greater experience?
**[04:06] ---**
Oh, there's nothing we
could possibly teach *you*!
**[04:10] ---**
Heavens, no!
**[04:12] ---**
B-By the way, my lord, I recently
got wind of a pretty little investment...
**[04:17] ---**
Pardon me, my lords and lady.
**[04:19] ---**
I'm afraid my master
has another engagement.
**[04:26] ---**
What tiresome people.
**[04:28] ---**
Ciel!
**[04:32] ---**
Elizabeth!
**[04:33] ---**
Ciel, Ciel, Ciel! Look at this!
**[04:36] ---**
Come on, Elizabeth,
I can't see it like this.
**[04:39] ---**
It's a deer!
**[04:42] ---**
Deer?
**[04:43] ---**
There's an ever so rare and
elusive deer on a hill right near here!
**[04:48] ---**
"Ever so rare"?
**[04:52] ---**
It's a white stag that brings happiness!
**[04:54] ---**
I've never heard of it.
**[04:56] ---**
According to legend...
**[04:59] ---**
The rare white stag has
traditionally been considered
**[05:02] ---**
a messenger of the otherworld.
**[05:06] ---**
Those who receive his message are
supposedly blessed with good fortune.
**[05:10] ---**
Yes! You know everything, Sebastian!
**[05:13] ---**
Thank you, my lady.
**[05:15] ---**
That's just a fairy tale.
**[05:17] ---**
No, it's true! There are witnesses!
**[05:21] ---**
Let's go look for it, Ciel, can't we?
**[05:24] ---**
No. I'm busy.
**[05:29] ---**
You're so mean.
**[05:32] ---**
Elizabeth!
**[05:33] ---**
Well, I never. He's making his fiancée cry!
**[05:36] ---**
They say they're engaged, but
I suppose they're just playing house.
**[05:39] ---**
I wonder if that means
my niece still has a chance?
**[05:42] ---**
Sebastian, prepare a boat.
**[05:45] ---**
Certainly.
**[05:46] ---**
Lady Elizabeth.
**[05:49] ---**
I'd like to go inspect
another floodgate downstream.
**[05:54] ---**
Would you favor me with
your company on the river?
**[05:56] ---**
I'm told that the elusive
white stag lives on this land.
**[06:00] ---**
Have you heard of it?
**[06:01] ---**
Yes, of course! I'd love to come with you.
**[06:19] ---**
Have you decided, my lady?
**[06:22] ---**
Hmm... A simple style
is best for boating, but...
**[06:25] ---**
But that lacy one is adorable,
and I love the frills on that one...
**[06:30] ---**
Oh, blast it! I wish I could
wear them both at once!
**[06:33] ---**
Goodness!
**[06:35] ---**
Please, take all the time you like.
**[06:37] ---**
Oh, that one is cute, too!
**[06:41] ---**
Hadn't you planned to
head straight home, my lord?
**[06:43] ---**
I changed my mind.
**[06:46] ---**
This is my duty.
**[06:49] ---**
To manage the river,
and to do this dull socializing,
**[06:52] ---**
and to please my fiancée...
**[06:54] ---**
All of it is my duty as the head
of the house of Phantomhive.
**[06:59] ---**
And what's more, I don't enjoy
being underestimated like this.
**[07:04] ---**
I'll go check on the boat.
**[07:19] ---**
He's so wonderful!
**[07:24] ---**
Sebastian, what the devil are
they doin'? This isn't a circus!
**[07:28] ---**
I imagine they're trying to
find fault with our young master.
**[07:32] ---**
He has quite a few social enemies.
**[07:35] ---**
Enemies?
**[07:35] ---**
Yes?
**[07:37] ---**
For one thing, there are
many who'd stand to gain
**[07:39] ---**
from those two breaking
off their engagement.
**[07:42] ---**
Breaking it off?!
**[07:44] ---**
I ask that you three behave
yourselves, and not get any ideas.
**[07:49] ---**
Y-Yes, Sir!
**[07:53] ---**
They mustn't break it off, no!
Elizabeth is the only one for him!
**[07:57] ---**
We have to help him!
**[07:59] ---**
Right, let's do this! You
two understand our job, right?
**[08:05] ---**
Hip, hip, hurrah!
**[08:16] ---**
Oh, there's something over there!
**[08:21] ---**
Here we go!
**[08:22] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[08:26] ---**
Drat, I was sure
the stag was this way...
**[08:31] ---**
I caught 'em!
**[08:33] ---**
I caught them, yes!
**[08:35] ---**
Here he is!
**[08:41] ---**
Do those look like deer to you lot?
**[08:48] ---**
A momentary peace
**[08:50] ---**
is an elusory fruit that, once
gone, can never be regained.
**[08:58] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive...
your die has already been cast.
**[09:03] ---**
Now, where will you place your bets?
**[09:08] ---**
All right, we've got 6 to 1 odds on
Elizabeth finding what she seeks,
**[09:12] ---**
and 4 to 1 odds on not finding it!
**[09:14] ---**
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen!
**[09:19] ---**
Bet.
**[09:21] ---**
Be a man and put all
your money on the long shot!
**[09:23] ---**
We've got 108 to 1 on
dissolving the engagement!
**[09:26] ---**
Roll up and place your bets!
**[09:29] ---**
What does he think he's doing?
**[09:31] ---**
I was so sure we'd find
the stag by lunch, too...
**[09:36] ---**
It's called "elusive" because
it's hard to find, isn't it?
**[09:38] ---**
I suppose you're right.
**[09:41] ---**
All right, we'll eat lunch
and then go back to searching!
**[09:45] ---**
What's today's lunch, Sebastian?
**[09:47] ---**
For today's picnic luncheon
we have shrimp salad, salmon pie,
**[09:52] ---**
and Cheshire cheese sandwiches.
**[09:57] ---**
I say, did anyone hear
a strange noise just now?
**[10:01] ---**
My apologies; there's
been a slight mistake.
**[10:05] ---**
That's not like you, Sebastian.
**[10:12] ---**
Good Gad, what are you playing at?
**[10:16] ---**
One moment, my lord.
**[10:19] ---**
Now things are getting interesting!
**[10:21] ---**
The butler makes an unbelievable mistake!
**[10:24] ---**
The odds of their engagement
dissolving are now just 60 to 1!
**[10:27] ---**
Is their passion plummeting as well?!
**[10:31] ---**
Freshness of ingredients is critical!
**[10:33] ---**
Catch it, trim it, and eat it!
**[10:35] ---**
A premade pie just isn't the done thing!
**[10:38] ---**
Will the pigeons
I caught be useful, too, yes?!
**[10:40] ---**
Yes! We'll just lightly roast
them with this beauty here,
**[10:44] ---**
and the little lady will be all smiles!
**[10:48] ---**
Sebastian--
**[10:49] ---**
--that--
**[10:49] ---**
--hurt!
**[10:51] ---**
Really, how many
times do I have to tell you?
**[10:57] ---**
I told... you three...
**[11:02] ---**
to behave yourselves!
**[11:12] ---**
I-Impressive as ever, Sebastian.
**[11:15] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do this much isn't worth his salt.
**[11:20] ---**
May I present freshwater
fish and lobster soufflé
**[11:22] ---**
with roast pigeon in
the style of the Pyrénées.
**[11:25] ---**
How marvelous!
**[11:27] ---**
Wait, isn't this a bit different
from the menu you listed before...?
**[11:31] ---**
I made alterations to show the
local ingredients to better advantage.
**[11:35] ---**
It looks scrumptious!
**[11:39] ---**
Thank you! Thank you!
**[11:41] ---**
The young ladies are delighted!
Come, ladies and gents, place your bets!
**[11:48] ---**
This is an Eton mess with wild strawberries.
**[11:52] ---**
Delicious!
**[11:54] ---**
It uses cream straight from a Jersey cow
**[11:57] ---**
to achieve a simple yet
incomparably fresh taste, my lady.
**[12:03] ---**
I never thought you'd go
so far as to play dairy farmer.
**[12:06] ---**
Just the memory of it makes me smile.
**[12:08] ---**
Quite so, my lord. I imagine
you're the only master in all the world
**[12:11] ---**
who would make his
butler do such a thing.
**[12:15] ---**
Oh, you two are such good friends!
**[12:18] ---**
I-I'm not "friends"
with some blasted butl--
**[12:30] ---**
We're simply not
finding it. How tiresome!
**[12:33] ---**
Want to go home?
**[12:34] ---**
No, not yet!
**[12:36] ---**
All right.
**[12:43] ---**
*It's a tranquil day on the river...
So why do I feel so unsettled?*
**[12:50] ---**
What's wrong?
**[12:51] ---**
Nothing.
**[12:53] ---**
Ciel...
**[12:57] ---**
Just wait, we'll find it.
**[13:12] ---**
The clouds grow menacing.
**[13:15] ---**
It looks as though Elizabeth
won't find what she seeks,
**[13:18] ---**
and their future together is bleak.
**[13:22] ---**
The current odds are...
**[13:25] ---**
Well, Ran-Mao, aren't *you* bold today!
**[13:28] ---**
You still think they'll find it?
**[13:31] ---**
Still... I do love an exciting game.
**[13:37] ---**
Elizabeth. I'm telling you, wait!
**[13:41] ---**
I just saw it! It's further in the woods!
**[13:43] ---**
Even the stag will be hiding from this rain!
**[13:46] ---**
Let's call it a day.
**[13:47] ---**
No! I'm going to find the white stag!
**[13:49] ---**
Don't be unreasonable.
**[13:52] ---**
We can look for it again any time we like.
**[13:55] ---**
We can just hire people, and offer a reward.
**[13:57] ---**
So...
**[13:58] ---**
Ciel.
**[14:00] ---**
You... You idiot!
**[14:05] ---**
Elizabeth?
**[14:07] ---**
That wouldn't mean anything.
**[14:09] ---**
You don't understand how I feel at all!
**[14:13] ---**
Forget it!
**[14:13] ---**
Elizabeth!
**[14:15] ---**
Aw, you made her angry with you.
I wonder if that ends it?
**[14:20] ---**
Lau!
**[14:21] ---**
I bet on you finding it.
I wish you wouldn't disappoint me.
**[14:26] ---**
Why should I care what *you* want?
**[14:29] ---**
"A gentleman is charged
with pleasing his lady," eh?
**[14:33] ---**
Being an English
nobleman is such a bother.
**[14:37] ---**
I was born one. It doesn't
bother me in the slightest.
**[14:40] ---**
Oh?
**[14:42] ---**
But...
**[14:45] ---**
I was born into a
disgraced family. My duty is...
**[14:52] ---**
Well, then! I've finished collecting
my money, so I'll just push off!
**[14:58] ---**
--We're going to bring Elizabeth home, Sebastian.
**[14:59] ---**
--Sebastian!
**[15:03] ---**
What is it?
**[15:06] ---**
Lady Elizabeth is in trouble!
**[15:27] ---**
Lady Elizabeth!
**[15:32] ---**
Hold on tight!
**[15:34] ---**
No, no! If you pull too
hard, she'll capsize, yes!
**[15:38] ---**
Elizabeth!
**[15:40] ---**
Ciel...
**[15:49] ---**
I saw it... on the other side of the river...
**[15:54] ---**
Look out! Don't take
your hands off the boat!
**[15:56] ---**
I'm going to find the white stag!
**[16:01] ---**
The white stag...
**[16:03] ---**
Elizabeth... why...?
**[16:07] ---**
I'll make sure you find happiness!
**[16:12] ---**
What shall we do, young master?
**[16:15] ---**
She's certainly not safe like that.
**[16:17] ---**
Look.
**[16:24] ---**
It's an old-fashioned floodgate.
**[16:26] ---**
We'd planned to begin
rebuilding it next month.
**[16:29] ---**
It's already leaking.
**[16:31] ---**
When it bursts, the water
it's barely holding back now
**[16:33] ---**
will wash upstream, and this
whole area will be swamped.
**[16:42] ---**
Sebastian.
**[16:46] ---**
This is an order.
**[16:48] ---**
Stop the flood!
**[16:50] ---**
And I may leave Lady Elizabeth?
**[16:52] ---**
Don't make me repeat myself.
**[16:54] ---**
I'll protect Elizabeth.
**[16:57] ---**
That's my duty!
**[17:01] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[17:48] ---**
Sebastian, what are you doing?!
**[17:57] ---**
*I'll protect Elizabeth!*
**[18:02] ---**
*No matter what!*
**[18:13] ---**
Young master.
**[18:22] ---**
Are you awake, young master?
**[18:24] ---**
--Ciel! I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!
**[18:26] ---**
--Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
**[18:29] ---**
I should never have done that!
**[18:30] ---**
Elizabeth.
**[18:34] ---**
I'm glad you're all right.
**[18:36] ---**
And I'm glad that you're
all right, young master.
**[18:41] ---**
Sebastian, why did you open the gate?!
**[18:44] ---**
I ordered you to stop the flood!
**[18:47] ---**
And I followed your order.
**[18:49] ---**
What?
**[18:51] ---**
I doubt it will flood
here now... or ever again.
**[18:57] ---**
In order to restore the
proper flow of the river,
**[18:59] ---**
it was necessary to
release the dammed-up water.
**[19:03] ---**
I guided the current with a
bit of help from everyone there,
**[19:08] ---**
and had the river's shape altered.
**[19:12] ---**
To her safest form--her rightful form.
**[19:16] ---**
"Rightful form"?
**[19:19] ---**
Yes. Now she's the way she
was several thousand years ago,
**[19:23] ---**
when the white stags were here.
**[19:25] ---**
But we didn't find a stag.
**[19:28] ---**
That's all right. I know we'll find it one day.
**[19:32] ---**
If you're looking for the
elusive stag, he's right on that hill.
**[19:40] ---**
It's...
**[19:43] ---**
A white stag!
**[19:46] ---**
It's a hill figure.
**[19:47] ---**
"Hill figure"?
**[19:49] ---**
An ancient geoglyph cut
into the chalky rock of a hill.
**[19:54] ---**
The torrent earlier washed
away the surface of the hill
**[19:57] ---**
and revealed the hidden art.
**[20:00] ---**
So this is the truth behind the legend?
**[20:02] ---**
That's amazing, Sebastian!
**[20:04] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who
can't do this much isn't worth--
**[20:08] ---**
"The flowing river never stops,
and yet the water never stays the same.
**[20:11] ---**
So it is with man and
all his dwelling places."
**[20:15] ---**
Tanaka!
**[20:16] ---**
Where have you been all this time?!
**[20:17] ---**
D-Don't tell me...
**[20:19] ---**
In there?
**[20:20] ---**
With no one tending it,
**[20:23] ---**
the glyph must have eventually
weathered and been forgotten.
**[20:28] ---**
But thank goodness...
**[20:30] ---**
Thank goodness you found the white stag, Ciel.
**[20:34] ---**
You were the one looking for it.
**[20:37] ---**
Say, Ciel, are you having fun?
**[20:42] ---**
I had fun, because I got to
spend the day frivolling with you.
**[20:47] ---**
You see, you're always
running off somewhere for "work."
**[20:53] ---**
And each time you come back,
you look upset. So that's why...
**[20:59] ---**
They say that people
who see the white stag
**[21:01] ---**
are filled with happiness
their whole lives long.
**[21:05] ---**
Lizzie...
**[21:08] ---**
You finally called me that.
**[21:11] ---**
Remember this sight, Ciel.
**[21:15] ---**
Thank you, Lizzie.
**[21:23] ---**
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Congratulations!
**[21:27] ---**
Thank you!

Again?
**[23:15] ---**
This isn't all, my lord.
**[23:17] ---**
In addition to the invitations,
there are requests for interviews.
**[23:20] ---**
Your popularity with the society
crowd has soared since that day.
**[23:26] ---**
What a bother.
**[23:28] ---**
My lord, it's necessary for
you to treat these people well
**[23:31] ---**
and build connections.
**[23:34] ---**
This is a treat for our
ordinary private customers.
**[23:37] ---**
I believe you could take this opportunity
**[23:38] ---**
to expand your
business into travel services.
**[23:44] ---**
Right.
**[23:59] ---**
In her rightful form, hmm?

*I just saw a flash of red

Thank you.
**[00:14] ---**
I wonder if they'll come out well?
**[00:17] ---**
Not to worry!
**[00:18] ---**
A likeness of my lovely wife
couldn't help but be lovely!
**[00:25] ---**
I'm so happy!

Ellen!
**[01:09] ---**
Ellen...!

Today's afternoon tea is a
green tea from the Kangra Valley
**[02:54] ---**
with a gooseberry and elderflower jelly.
**[03:01] ---**
Well, it'll do.
**[03:03] ---**
I'm glad you find it satisfactory, my lord.
**[03:05] ---**
I'm afraid there's work
to do when you're finished.
**[03:07] ---**
What?
**[03:13] ---**
People being burned alive?
**[03:17] ---**
Ah, yes, the rash of
crimes that has swept London.
**[03:20] ---**
I'm told there was another victim last night?
**[03:22] ---**
Yes.
**[03:24] ---**
Her Majesty grieves at the thought
**[03:27] ---**
of her subjects trembling in fear each night.
**[03:31] ---**
What's the matter, my lord?
**[03:35] ---**
"Faced with a recurrence
of these unsavory incidents,
**[03:37] ---**
I shall once again leave
the matter in the hands
**[03:40] ---**
of the 'dog' and the 'spider.'"
**[03:42] ---**
What might that mean?
**[03:45] ---**
Has this same sort of
thing happened before?
**[03:49] ---**
And who is this "spider"?
**[03:52] ---**
Who knows?
**[03:54] ---**
Or more precisely, *I* don't know.
**[04:03] ---**
There's no use sitting here wondering.
**[04:05] ---**
We dispel Her Majesty's worries.
That's our first priority.
**[04:09] ---**
We're setting out for London.
**[04:11] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[04:12] ---**
And don't let Madam Red
get wind of what we're doing.
**[04:16] ---**
This is the sort of thing she enjoys.
**[04:19] ---**
I don't want her poking her nose in.
**[04:22] ---**
I don't believe we'll have any trouble there.
**[04:27] ---**
"Wench Butler"
**[04:35] ---**
A part of the house of Phantomhive's
past that I don't know about...
**[04:39] ---**
It's only natural.
**[04:41] ---**
After all, you were forced
to assume the earldom
**[04:44] ---**
before your father had
passed everything down to you.
**[04:48] ---**
Still, I couldn't have asked
for a better opportunity.
**[04:52] ---**
If I, the new family head, resolve
an incident my father was involved in,
**[04:56] ---**
rumor will spread through
the criminal underworld...
**[05:01] ---**
And *they* are sure to make a move.
**[05:06] ---**
You intend to use yourself as bait, my lord?
**[05:13] ---**
All those who hurt my
pride, who brought it low...
**[05:17] ---**
I'm going to drag them out
into the open and make them pay.
**[05:21] ---**
I'll stop at nothing.
**[05:24] ---**
And if they're already dead?
**[05:27] ---**
You have to ask?
**[05:29] ---**
I'll tear the truth out of their
rotten flesh with my own hands.
**[05:33] ---**
That's all there is to it.
**[05:35] ---**
That's my master.
**[05:39] ---**
Do you think people have it right?
**[05:41] ---**
The victims took too much to
drink and spontaneously combusted?
**[05:45] ---**
Gossip is nothing to go by!
Find some concrete evidence!
**[05:48] ---**
Yes, Sir, of course, Sir!
**[05:50] ---**
Come on, boys!
**[05:50] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[05:54] ---**
It looks like you're having
some trouble, Sir Arthur.
**[05:59] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive!
**[06:02] ---**
Let's hear about the investigation.
**[06:07] ---**
No progress worth mentioning.
**[06:09] ---**
What makes this
different than past incidents?
**[06:13] ---**
There have been similar
crimes before, haven't there?
**[06:18] ---**
Then you knew.
**[06:20] ---**
Aha. You just confirmed it.
**[06:24] ---**
Show me the old case file.
**[06:26] ---**
There's nothing left of it.
**[06:29] ---**
What?
**[06:29] ---**
And even if there were something,
I couldn't show it to you.
**[06:34] ---**
*There aren't any records left?*
**[06:37] ---**
Scotland Yard will find out
**[06:40] ---**
who did it, why, and what
it has to do with the old case.
**[06:43] ---**
You're not needed here!
**[06:46] ---**
I hope you're right. Let's go, Sebastian!
**[06:55] ---**
Those round, artless eyes so
innocent of the filth of this world...
**[06:58] ---**
That adorable yet somehow noble tail...
**[07:01] ---**
Those pale-pink, soft paws...
**[07:09] ---**
Chief Inspector! We didn't
find any notable evidence.
**[07:15] ---**
My apologies, young master.
They were just such charming kittens.
**[07:20] ---**
Let's go, kitten fiend.
**[07:25] ---**
Who was that?
**[07:26] ---**
The Queen's guard dog
has come back to London.
**[07:32] ---**
"Queen's guard dog"?
**[07:34] ---**
You mean he's...?
**[07:36] ---**
What shall we do now, my lord?
**[07:40] ---**
If the Yard's no help,
we only have one choice.
**[07:48] ---**
"Well, that's Great Britain
for you... Wait, what the heck?!"
**[07:55] ---**
"I'm through with you!"
**[07:58] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[08:00] ---**
That was brilliant.
**[08:01] ---**
I never dreamed I'd see such perfect
*manzai*-style comedy in England!
**[08:10] ---**
He just stood there talking to himself.
**[08:13] ---**
You showed me something truly special!
**[08:15] ---**
I'll have to keep my end of the bargain.
**[08:21] ---**
I asked to see a corpse
from the arson case!
**[08:23] ---**
Yes...
**[08:25] ---**
and this is it, my lord.
**[08:29] ---**
I scraped up what was left
of the victim on the scene.
**[08:33] ---**
The fire burned so hot,
it only left ashes behind.
**[08:51] ---**
Young master.
**[08:55] ---**
I'm Turner, the photographer.
**[09:00] ---**
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
**[09:05] ---**
I've brought the last
picture taken of your wife.
**[09:09] ---**
She was so lovely...
**[09:14] ---**
My condolences, Sir.
**[09:19] ---**
She was truly beautiful, wasn't she?
**[09:38] ---**
Pardon me.
**[09:42] ---**
The substance found in the ashes
**[09:44] ---**
matched the sample we
collected from the photographers.
**[09:48] ---**
It's magnesium oxide,
**[09:50] ---**
a substance often left behind
**[09:52] ---**
after magnesium-based flash
powder is ignited during photography.
**[09:55] ---**
Photography, eh?
**[09:58] ---**
I was able to obtain information
on import products from Mr. Lau.
**[10:02] ---**
Well, aren't you the sharp little butler?
**[10:05] ---**
Yes, a magnesium shipment arrived
in the Docklands just the other day.
**[10:10] ---**
It was bound for...
a London portrait studio.
**[10:14] ---**
They're certainly stocking up,
buying a whole ship's worth like that.
**[10:21] ---**
So, what are you two investigating?
**[10:24] ---**
That's more than they'd
need for simple flash powder.
**[10:28] ---**
Quite. And the victims also
had something in common...
**[10:33] ---**
All the women who were ignited
**[10:38] ---**
had recently had wedding photos taken...
**[10:41] ---**
...at Turner's studio.
**[10:48] ---**
Let's go! That couple knows
what's really been happening.
**[10:54] ---**
Certainly.
**[10:59] ---**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[11:02] ---**
You look hideous.
**[11:06] ---**
All because I married *you*,
**[11:09] ---**
I despaired of ever feeling burning passion
**[11:12] ---**
or womanly happiness!
**[11:15] ---**
I'm done taking portraits of happy women!
**[11:23] ---**
Now it's my turn to be happy!
**[11:38] ---**
She's...!
**[11:39] ---**
Mrs. Turner from the portrait studio, yes.
**[11:41] ---**
Happiness! Where is my happiness?
**[11:46] ---**
Young master!
**[11:50] ---**
So that camera is
her ignition device, eh?
**[11:52] ---**
Capture her, Sebastian!
**[11:54] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[12:15] ---**
*Red... I've seen that red before...!*
**[12:22] ---**
It's you.
**[12:24] ---**
I've just been *dying* to see you!☆
**[12:39] ---**
So you've been pulling the
strings behind the scenes, Grell?
**[12:44] ---**
All I've been pulling are the red
threads of fate that bind our hearts!
**[12:52] ---**
Oh, how could you?!
Don't be rough with me!
**[12:55] ---**
You came at me first.
**[12:58] ---**
But all I did was take a little
swipe at you out of excitement!
**[13:01] ---**
I was only following
that old pig, like you!
**[13:05] ---**
You too?
**[13:07] ---**
You know this freak?
**[13:10] ---**
He's a grim reaper,
who reaps the souls of the dead.
**[13:15] ---**
Grim reaper? So there
are others like you?
**[13:22] ---**
I imagine he's here to reap the
souls of the arson victims, my lord.
**[13:27] ---**
But no more work for me now
that *you're* here, Sebas-*chan*!
**[13:33] ---**
From now on, it's just
our little amorous adventure.
**[13:38] ---**
--Oh! Fool with me! Fool
with me! Fool with me!
**[13:38] ---**
--We don't have time to fool
about with him! Come on!
**[13:41] ---**
At once.
**[13:44] ---**
Ah ah ah!
**[13:45] ---**
Sebas-*chan*, if you want me in
your arms, leap through these flames!
**[13:50] ---**
Excuse me.
**[13:53] ---**
Sebas-*chan*, wait!
**[13:57] ---**
Evacuate the citizens upwind!
**[13:59] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[14:01] ---**
This town always burns so well.
**[14:11] ---**
There she is.
**[14:17] ---**
Oh dear, did you let her get away?
**[14:21] ---**
Shouldn't you be working, Grell?
**[14:24] ---**
I am a hunter of love, and I'm on your trail.
**[14:27] ---**
*That's* my job, darling.
**[14:30] ---**
And, of course, I only
have one soul to reap.
**[14:34] ---**
One?
**[14:36] ---**
Hmm... Margaret Turner,
five past midnight.
**[14:40] ---**
"After an indiscriminate killing spree,
**[14:42] ---**
she burns herself to death as well."
**[14:45] ---**
According to the soul ledger,
**[14:47] ---**
this is the only soul I'm meant to reap.
**[14:52] ---**
What about everyone
who's died in these fires?
**[14:54] ---**
When she burns people to death,
**[14:56] ---**
their souls are burned away with them!
**[15:09] ---**
Where did she go?
**[15:15] ---**
She means to burn everything?
**[15:27] ---**
May you all find happiness!
**[15:34] ---**
That's enough of that!
**[15:36] ---**
So you've come to
interfere with my happiness, too?
**[15:40] ---**
Did you really think you
could find happiness after *this*?
**[15:44] ---**
Of course! *He* told me so!
**[15:54] ---**
Young master!
**[15:56] ---**
When did the old sow get up there?
**[16:03] ---**
A little brat like you would
never understand how rotten it was
**[16:06] ---**
to be married off to a man I didn't love!
**[16:12] ---**
I want to feel a burning
passion for a splendid man!
**[16:16] ---**
And I'll fry anyone who gets in my way!
**[16:24] ---**
You're pathetic.
**[16:27] ---**
If you're going to moan about it, fight!
If it bothers you, get moving!
**[16:31] ---**
Just wallowing in your rotten luck
like that makes you worse than a pig!
**[16:35] ---**
*You give up your future, lose your
dreams, are stained with despair...*
**[16:40] ---**
*Yet at the same time you
shake off your past, fight reality,*
**[16:43] ---**
*and never lose your nobility.*
**[16:45] ---**
That's it, young master.
That's the soul I want to eat...
**[16:49] ---**
Pig... pig, pig...
**[16:52] ---**
You just called me a pig, didn't you?!
**[16:58] ---**
Now then, I must hurry.
**[17:01] ---**
I believe you said the lady will
burn herself to death at five past.
**[17:05] ---**
Wait, now, what are you playing at?
**[17:07] ---**
My young master
ordered me to capture her.
**[17:11] ---**
You're too late, love.
**[17:13] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do this much isn't worth his salt.
**[17:20] ---**
Shall we, Grell?
**[17:22] ---**
Hmm? Why me?!
**[17:25] ---**
My surly master must make
a very unsatisfying model.
**[17:30] ---**
I'd thought *you* would make a
marvelous subject for a photo, but...
**[17:35] ---**
Well, let me just show
you a few sexy shots of me!
**[17:43] ---**
I'll roast anyone who
calls me a pig, boy *or* man!
**[17:53] ---**
How long do you intend to fool around?
**[17:56] ---**
Come, Sebastian!
**[17:58] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[18:00] ---**
Talking to yourself now?
**[18:10] ---**
What the devil...?
**[18:12] ---**
My butler, and a freak.
**[18:15] ---**
I'm a more deadly
efficient reaper than I look!☆
**[18:21] ---**
Stay out of this!
**[18:27] ---**
Why? Why won't you burn?!
**[18:38] ---**
Using a grim reaper as bait?
**[18:41] ---**
You *fiend*.
**[18:49] ---**
Now listen here!
**[18:50] ---**
We ladies ripen and redden and
sweeten each time you photograph us!
**[18:55] ---**
That's right! Just like a
bright-red, succulent fruit!
**[18:59] ---**
It's pouring--no, it's *gushing* out of me!
**[19:02] ---**
Just welling up out of every pore!
**[19:06] ---**
Yes, right now I am
the Queen of the Fruits!
**[19:10] ---**
The Mangosteen of Reapers!
**[19:13] ---**
Indeed, I can hardly resist biting you.
**[19:18] ---**
Please! Please!
**[19:20] ---**
You're late.
**[19:21] ---**
My apologies, my lord.
**[19:23] ---**
I told you: burn!
**[19:28] ---**
Impossible...
**[19:29] ---**
This is the least I would
do on my master's orders.
**[19:34] ---**
Wh-Who are you people?!
**[19:39] ---**
I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[19:42] ---**
I'm one mangosteen of a reaper!☆
**[19:45] ---**
Now tell us everything.
**[19:50] ---**
He told me what to do!
**[19:53] ---**
He told me if I did this,
**[19:57] ---**
splendid men would fall in love with me!
**[20:00] ---**
"He"?
**[20:03] ---**
The one with the golden eyes!
**[20:07] ---**
I can't believe it!
Her soul is burning too!
**[20:12] ---**
Burning passion! Happiness!
**[20:16] ---**
Wait! I still have ques--
**[20:18] ---**
Young master!
**[20:21] ---**
Are you hurt, young master?
**[20:23] ---**
I'm fine.
**[20:27] ---**
This can't be!
**[20:29] ---**
How could the soul I'm
to collect just *burn up*?!
**[20:32] ---**
This can't happen! It's just not right!
**[20:37] ---**
I have to report to Will,
so I'll make this the last one.
**[20:43] ---**
Next time let's sit for a lovers'
portrait in the night, Sebas-*chan*!
**[20:46] ---**
Toodle-oo!
**[20:50] ---**
Young master, you ordered
me to capture her, but...
**[20:57] ---**
So everything burned to ash...
**[21:01] ---**
I'll inform Her Majesty
that these murders
**[21:04] ---**
were the work of a
woman crazed with greed.
**[21:08] ---**
I see that humans are
capable of doing quite a bit
**[21:11] ---**
out of a longing for love.
**[21:14] ---**
What a ridiculous waste.
**[21:16] ---**
All this for a silly shapeless,
meaningless thing like "love"...
**[21:21] ---**
Laughable, isn't it?
**[21:22] ---**
Very.
**[21:25] ---**
But not everything has burned away.
**[21:29] ---**
Investigate this "spider."
**[21:31] ---**
It may have made a move during this case.
**[21:37] ---**
At once.
**[21:46] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[21:53] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[22:00] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[22:05] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[22:13] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[22:20] ---**
*I mourn that I can't go in search*
**[22:26] ---**
*Of that blue sky I once saw*
**[22:34] ---**
*But everyone is in the sky*
**[22:41] ---**
*In the cage of freedom*
**[22:48] ---**
*In a starless night sky*
**[22:55] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[23:10] ---**
Young master.
**[23:13] ---**
Young master.
**[23:18] ---**
Pardon me for disturbing you.
**[23:21] ---**
Did you find out something?
**[23:23] ---**
I found a book that seemed relevant
in the stacks at the British Museum.
**[23:28] ---**
It's true that during the
previous live burnings,
**[23:32] ---**
in addition to the Phantomhives
acting as the Queen's executive organ,
**[23:36] ---**
there was another noble family at
work which specialized in cleanup.
**[23:40] ---**
"Specialized in cleanup"?
**[23:42] ---**
So that's why there were
no records left at the Yard.
**[23:46] ---**
The family head passed
away three years ago,
**[23:49] ---**
but as I understand it,
his son has now taken over.
**[23:52] ---**
They are known as the Earls Trancy.
**[23:55] ---**
The Earls Trancy?
**[24:04] ---**
*By order of the Queen,*
**[24:06] ---**
*we find ourselves on quite
the perilous train journey.*
**[24:10] ---**
*It seems the time has come for me
to display the unbelievable rigidity*
**[24:14] ---**
*of that secret part of me I've
trained into monumental hardness.*
**[24:22] ---**
*Next time: " Terrorist Butler."*
**[24:25] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler*
**[24:28] ---**
*who doesn't sew his own motion
sickness bags isn't worth his salt.*

**[00:19] ---**
Goodbye, young master.
I hope you have a nice trip, yes!
**[00:22] ---**
Right.
**[00:23] ---**
See that you behave
yourselves while we're away.
**[00:26] ---**
Oh, a train trip sounds marvelous!
I want to try it sometime!
**[00:30] ---**
Brilliant!
**[00:31] ---**
Finny! Quit running about like that!
**[00:40] ---**
I'm so sorry!
**[00:42] ---**
Are you all right, yes?!
**[00:44] ---**
Don't touch that!
**[00:46] ---**
That's a valuable scholarly resource!
**[00:48] ---**
Do you have any idea
how much it's worth?!
**[00:55] ---**
A mummy, eh?
**[00:57] ---**
I believe there's been somewhat
of an Egyptian antiquities boom
**[00:59] ---**
amongst the moneyed classes recently.
**[01:02] ---**
A mummy would be a
valuable collector's item.
**[01:05] ---**
"Collector's item"?!
**[01:09] ---**
Forgive us, O Lord.
**[01:14] ---**
Pack it up this instant!
**[01:15] ---**
Yes, Sir!
**[01:17] ---**
And be gentle about it.
**[01:24] ---**
I pray no calamity shall befall you.

Would you like your tea, young master?
**[03:17] ---**
I find the aroma of Williamson
& Magor's summer Darjeeling
**[03:20] ---**
perfectly suited to the sight of
greenery through a train window.
**[03:26] ---**
Young master, we're meant
to seem as if we're on holiday.
**[03:30] ---**
The criminal will spot us like this.
**[03:32] ---**
Please try to look a bit pleasanter.
**[03:34] ---**
I know, I know.
**[03:36] ---**
Are you really that preoccupied
with the Trancys, my lord?
**[03:40] ---**
No.
**[03:42] ---**
I am curious, of course,
but for the moment that's all.
**[03:46] ---**
Right now the Queen's orders take priority.
**[03:54] ---**
That's Lord Ackroyd, then?
**[03:56] ---**
And the boy kidnapped was his only son.
**[03:59] ---**
Yes.
**[04:00] ---**
If the police find out, the
hostage will be killed.
**[04:04] ---**
He was instructed to bring
the ransom aboard this train.
**[04:08] ---**
And the ransom is 5,000 pounds...
**[04:11] ---**
I take it that's the price
humans set for their own souls.
**[04:17] ---**
The kidnapper must be
somewhere on this train.
**[04:20] ---**
We'll find him, capture him,
and safely rescue the hostage.
**[04:24] ---**
That's the only way to
dispel Her Majesty's distress.
**[04:27] ---**
Very good.
**[04:29] ---**
"Terrorist Butler"
**[04:41] ---**
It's the find of the century!
**[04:43] ---**
Because what yours truly discovered
**[04:46] ---**
was the pharaoh Smenkhkare,
hidden in the Valley of the Kings!
**[04:50] ---**
It's so crass to brag about robbing a grave.
**[04:54] ---**
I met him once during his lifetime.
**[04:57] ---**
He was an affable man of great virtue.
**[05:02] ---**
Still... Even taking the
desiccation into account,
**[05:05] ---**
his face really seems quite different.
**[05:07] ---**
Then he's a fake?
**[05:09] ---**
Do you mean that
archaeologist is the kidnapper?
**[05:11] ---**
I couldn't say, my lord.
**[05:15] ---**
The train that left
St. Pancras station at exactly 9:00
**[05:18] ---**
will cross the Cambridge-bound
route at Bedford at 10:18!
**[05:23] ---**
This is thrilling! This is not to be missed!
**[05:27] ---**
We'll pull in to Derby Station at 1:05...
**[05:30] ---**
Oh, we'll definitely have a time lag!
**[05:32] ---**
Considering the weather, the
porters will have a hard time of it!
**[05:34] ---**
It'll be about seven minutes, I'd wager!
**[05:35] ---**
Is he reading the timetables?
**[05:37] ---**
Yes, he seems to have a
bizarre obsession with railways.
**[05:45] ---**
What do you think you're
doing, you damned brat?!
**[05:51] ---**
I see you're from Japan.
**[05:53] ---**
The scrollwork on that
*furoshiki* wrapping cloth is lovely.
**[05:56] ---**
Don't touch it! This is a
precious family heirloom!
**[06:01] ---**
*What's inside? Is he hiding something?*
**[06:04] ---**
I'm sorry, my boy. He's just so stubborn.
**[06:08] ---**
Here, a token of our apologies.
**[06:11] ---**
No thank you, Ma'am.
**[06:14] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[06:16] ---**
Well, then, would anyone else like one?
**[06:18] ---**
I have plenty.
**[06:20] ---**
There are some with *bonito
*flakes and some with pickled plums!
**[06:22] ---**
Here, please take one.
**[06:24] ---**
None of your bloody Oriental food.
**[06:26] ---**
Everyone says cholera is rampant in Asia!
**[06:30] ---**
Shoo, shoo!
**[06:31] ---**
That's an outrageous falsehood!
**[06:34] ---**
Stop that.
**[06:36] ---**
Don't you think it's rude
for you to take that attitude
**[06:39] ---**
with travelers who
have come all this way?
**[06:42] ---**
--Sod off!
**[06:42] ---**
--As the Holy Book tells us,
those who travel will be blessed.
**[06:43] ---**
--Eyes front!
**[06:45] ---**
--And the 14:45 train isn't to
be dismissed lightly, either!
**[06:48] ---**
--I'm sure it's God's will
that brought us together here.
**[06:52] ---**
*A tattoo on a priest?*
**[06:54] ---**
My, my.
**[06:57] ---**
Everyone please calm down!
**[07:01] ---**
Cool down and sit down!
**[07:05] ---**
I can understand your unease!
**[07:08] ---**
Yes, we're transporting
an assassin on this train.
**[07:13] ---**
However! He is being
kept under strict armed guard,
**[07:17] ---**
unable to move a muscle!
**[07:19] ---**
There's no need to wor--
**[07:22] ---**
Run!
**[07:31] ---**
I recognize him.
**[07:34] ---**
Oh! Why, you're the Phantomhive--
**[07:39] ---**
Eel pie and mash really
brings back memories!
**[07:42] ---**
Traditional English food,
just like Mum used to make!
**[07:50] ---**
I say, that was quite a
fuss back there, wasn't it?
**[07:53] ---**
And whose fault is that?
**[07:56] ---**
At any rate, Sir Arthur will call
you on the carpet for dining with me.
**[08:02] ---**
Pish posh. I've wanted to
get better acquainted with you.
**[08:07] ---**
You see, my twin brother
talked so much about you.
**[08:11] ---**
Brother?
**[08:13] ---**
There's another one
of these stuffy men?
**[08:18] ---**
Yes. I wish he could have tasted this...
**[08:24] ---**
*It doesn't look like he
knows about the kidnapping.*
**[08:42] ---**
What is it?
**[08:43] ---**
Nothing. Shall we go, young master?
**[08:55] ---**
No, Ciel! If you don't take a rest
after meals, you'll ruin your stomach!
**[09:06] ---**
"Leave the suitcase
with the ransom money
**[09:08] ---**
in the very last lounge car."
**[09:11] ---**
I must say, there are quite a few
suspicious characters on this train.
**[09:16] ---**
Yes...
**[09:17] ---**
A priest with a tattoo,
a sham archaeologist,
**[09:21] ---**
a surly Japanese, a man
in a frenzy over timetables...
**[09:26] ---**
They're all too blatantly suspicious.
**[09:29] ---**
And if there's an assassin onboard as well...
**[09:33] ---**
Excuse me.
**[09:42] ---**
You're that porter from the station.
**[09:44] ---**
What are you doing on this
train dressed like a traveler?
**[09:48] ---**
Damn!
**[09:49] ---**
He's the kidnapper!
**[09:59] ---**
Damn it, I can't get the bloody thing to...
**[10:05] ---**
Stop!
**[10:13] ---**
Don't let him get away, Sebastian!
**[10:15] ---**
Very good.
**[10:22] ---**
Now hand that over.
**[10:26] ---**
If you don't make it quick,
the boy's life is over.
**[10:31] ---**
I'm more concerned
about your life, frankly.
**[10:36] ---**
Who are you?!
**[10:38] ---**
Where is your young hostage?
**[10:41] ---**
Onboard that train.
**[10:43] ---**
But you can't save
him now. What a shame!
**[10:47] ---**
By which you mean...?
**[10:49] ---**
I rigged a bomb to explode
as soon as the train stops.
**[10:56] ---**
I thought I'd put on a
nice big fireworks display
**[10:59] ---**
after I got the ransom money!
**[11:08] ---**
We have ten minutes
before the next stop.
**[11:13] ---**
Serves you right!
**[11:17] ---**
There's not much time.
**[11:44] ---**
A car's been decoupled?
**[11:45] ---**
What's going on here?!
**[11:58] ---**
Ciel! What do you mean,
you're going to the goods wagon?!
**[12:01] ---**
We can leave the kidnapper to Sebastian.
**[12:05] ---**
What's left is the child.
**[12:07] ---**
*The criminal must have
disguised himself as a porter*
**[12:09] ---**
*to hide the hostage in someone's luggage.*
**[12:12] ---**
*And...*
**[12:13] ---**
The only piece of luggage
big enough to hide a child
**[12:17] ---**
is that mummy's coffin!
**[12:19] ---**
What?!
**[12:25] ---**
What happened?
**[12:26] ---**
M-My stomach... My stomach hurts!
**[12:31] ---**
This isn't right... I know
I rested enough after I ate!
**[12:38] ---**
You don't suppose it's cholera, do you?!
**[12:40] ---**
Get out of here!
**[12:41] ---**
Stay away!
**[12:43] ---**
How dare you bastards
treat my wife that way?!
**[12:45] ---**
Did you eat one of those rice balls?
**[12:49] ---**
It was delicious.
**[12:59] ---**
This is it?
**[13:07] ---**
H-Help me...
**[13:09] ---**
Just hang on!
**[14:01] ---**
Pardon me.
**[14:03] ---**
There is a bomb on this train
set to go off when we stop.
**[14:07] ---**
Do not brake under any circumstances.
**[14:09] ---**
W-Wait!
**[14:14] ---**
Aren't you Ciel's butler?
**[14:17] ---**
Ow...
**[14:19] ---**
Where is my young master?
**[14:20] ---**
He went to the goods
wagon to save the child...
**[14:24] ---**
I-I have an announcement to make!
The points have just been changed,
**[14:28] ---**
and we're now bound
for a different destination!
**[14:31] ---**
We'll be passing over a
railway bridge no longer in use.
**[14:35] ---**
It won't be able to bear
the weight of this train,
**[14:37] ---**
and therefore our final stop...
**[14:40] ---**
...will most likely be Heaven!
**[14:45] ---**
Then we'd best stop this thing fast.
**[14:48] ---**
Y-You're...
**[14:52] ---**
A hostage again, young master?
**[14:56] ---**
I do believe you enjoy being captured.
**[14:59] ---**
What are you on about?
**[15:01] ---**
So it *was* you...
**[15:04] ---**
Bloodbath Johnny.
**[15:09] ---**
Well, if it isn't Jackknife Heyward!
**[15:14] ---**
*You* ought to know what'll happen
to the kid if you don't stop the train.
**[15:19] ---**
I'd love to stop it myself,
**[15:22] ---**
but I'm afraid there's a bomb
onboard that will explode if we stop...
**[15:28] ---**
N-Not to mention we have a
cholera outbreak in this carriage!
**[15:32] ---**
You may already be infected!
**[15:35] ---**
You're saying a train
with a bomb onboard
**[15:36] ---**
is headed for a run-down bridge,
**[15:38] ---**
*and* there's cholera?!
**[15:40] ---**
It's certainly a full-course menu of crises.
**[15:43] ---**
Enough of this farce. Sebastian,
hurry up and do something about this.
**[15:48] ---**
That's an order!
**[15:49] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[15:53] ---**
Forget it!
**[15:54] ---**
To hell with your cholera and your bombs!
**[15:56] ---**
I'm getting out of here!
**[15:59] ---**
Young master--
**[16:01] ---**
Not so fast! This is too much
for an ordinary butler to handle!
**[16:04] ---**
At times like these, we get assistance
**[16:07] ---**
from various professionals
who just happen to be onboard!
**[16:10] ---**
We'll all band together
to take a stand against evil!
**[16:12] ---**
I see. What wishful thinking.
**[16:16] ---**
Not necessarily.
**[16:18] ---**
I used to be in the killing business myself.
**[16:22] ---**
But after he killed someone precious to me,
**[16:25] ---**
I went straight and became a priest.
**[16:27] ---**
As the Holy Book tells us,
"Ye are your own enemies."
**[16:33] ---**
It's time to settle the score.
**[16:37] ---**
But right now I don't have
a weapon to face him with.
**[16:41] ---**
Use this!
**[16:49] ---**
This is the family treasure passed
down for generations: the Zantomaru!
**[16:53] ---**
I brought it here to give it to
my son, an exchange student.
**[16:57] ---**
But I'm sure this katana would
be happier being useful here!
**[17:01] ---**
In that case, leave the bomb to me!
**[17:05] ---**
I've used time bombs in my excavations!
**[17:10] ---**
They generally have two
wires: a black one and a red one.
**[17:13] ---**
One is a dummy. If you cut
the right one, you can disable it,
**[17:17] ---**
but if you pick the wrong one--*boom*!
**[17:19] ---**
Still, do we have enough
time to find the bomb...?
**[17:24] ---**
We should be fine!
This point up ahead is crucial!
**[17:28] ---**
Change the point and
enter the High Peak Railway!
**[17:30] ---**
And if we change the next point, too...
**[17:33] ---**
We can gain twenty
whole minutes of extra time!
**[17:40] ---**
Brilliant! We'll all join forces
and find our way out of this!
**[17:47] ---**
I do appreciate the thought,
but I can handle this myself.
**[17:51] ---**
I say! Butler?!
**[17:55] ---**
That man has no notion of
the austere Japanese aesthetic!
**[18:03] ---**
You're a right stubborn bastard!
**[18:06] ---**
Pass me the young master.
**[18:12] ---**
Sure, you just wait there. I'll be right...
**[18:18] ---**
I win!
**[18:20] ---**
What?!
**[18:30] ---**
Come, young master.
**[18:32] ---**
Y-You're a monster!
**[18:37] ---**
Now, then, Mr. Assassin...
**[18:39] ---**
Have a pleasant trip.
**[18:45] ---**
Next, the bomb.
**[18:50] ---**
There may be a red wire and a black wire...
**[19:05] ---**
But there's certainly no
need for me to choose one.
**[19:15] ---**
Hey! If there were
passengers in that carriage...
**[19:19] ---**
Not to worry, my lord.
That was the roof of the dining car.
**[19:23] ---**
And *that* passenger...
**[19:25] ---**
And now...
**[19:57] ---**
That was a close shave, but you managed.
**[20:01] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
handle *this* little full-course menu of crises
**[20:05] ---**
isn't worth his salt.
**[20:17] ---**
Th-That was magnificent, butler.
**[20:22] ---**
That's right! What about the cholera?
**[20:23] ---**
The whole train might be infected by now.
**[20:26] ---**
There's no need for concern, my lord.
**[20:29] ---**
Those whose stomachs
ail them should take this.
**[20:33] ---**
I don't recall there being
an instant cure for cholera.
**[20:35] ---**
Oh, no, this is just a digestive tonic.
**[20:38] ---**
Digestive tonic?
**[20:40] ---**
Japanese tradition has always held
certain food pairings to be harmful.
**[20:43] ---**
Watermelon and tempura,
eel and pickled plum...
**[20:48] ---**
I imagine his stomachache is from
eating a rice ball with pickled plum
**[20:51] ---**
despite having been
served eel pie in the dining car.
**[20:57] ---**
I'm cured! I'm cured!
**[20:59] ---**
It shouldn't work that fast.
**[21:03] ---**
Butler, you are no ordinary butler at--
**[21:05] ---**
I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[21:23] ---**
--Bring it down slowly!
**[21:24] ---**
--Father!
**[21:33] ---**
Here.
**[21:34] ---**
My tea spilled in all the commotion.
**[21:37] ---**
A true butler should have
been able to sort that out
**[21:39] ---**
without the slightest rocking of the train.
**[21:41] ---**
Yes, I can see you
took some damage as well.
**[21:51] ---**
What is that?
**[21:52] ---**
If you wish to investigate my master,
**[21:54] ---**
march into the Trancy mansion
right through the front gate.
**[21:59] ---**
You want to help young master
Ciel take his revenge, don't you?
**[22:14] ---**
*Nemuru anata wa kanashisou de*
**[22:21] ---**
*Warui yume demo miteru you da*
**[22:28] ---**
*How do I live without you*
**[22:33] ---**
*Anata to iu sora no naka*
**[22:40] ---**
*Boku dake wo tojikomete*
**[22:47] ---**
*Itsuka mita aozora wo*
**[22:54] ---**
*Sagasezu ni nageku kedo*
**[23:02] ---**
*Hito wa mina sora no naka*
**[23:09] ---**
*Jiyuu to iu kago no naka*
**[23:16] ---**
*Hoshi mo nai yoru no sora*
**[23:23] ---**
*Yuku ate mo mienai me de... samayou*
**[23:37] ---**
Yesterday was tiring even for me.
**[23:45] ---**
What's this?
**[23:49] ---**
An invitation to a
ball at the Trancy estate.
**[23:52] ---**
What?!
**[23:54] ---**
Trancy...
**[24:04] ---**
*An invitation to a ball,
sent by the Trancy estate.*
**[24:08] ---**
*Very well. I'll let you
dance to my tune all you like.*
**[24:12] ---**
*Though it appears I'm
the one more accustomed*
**[24:15] ---**
*to wearing the constrictive
dancing shoes of butlerhood...*
**[24:20] ---**
*Next time: "Beacon Butler."*
**[24:22] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler who can't
dance that isn't worth his salt.*
**[24:29] ---**

**[00:20] ---**
Here you are.
**[00:21] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:23] ---**
Agni's curry bread is very nutritious.
**[00:26] ---**
You'll smile when you eat it!
**[00:30] ---**
It's piping hot!
**[00:31] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:34] ---**
You?!
**[00:36] ---**
Sebastian?
**[00:39] ---**
It's so good!
**[00:45] ---**
Is that true?
**[00:46] ---**
Ciel has... lost his memories?!
**[00:55] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[01:03] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[01:10] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[01:18] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[01:21] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[01:28] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[01:34] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[01:42] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[01:50] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[01:57] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[02:05] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[02:13] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[02:24] ---**
"Trancy"... Just who is he?
**[02:28] ---**
And Ciel's really coming as well?
**[02:30] ---**
Yes.
**[02:33] ---**
I've tried to visit Ciel
so many times since then.
**[02:37] ---**
But...
**[02:38] ---**
Sebastian said that Lord
Phantomhive would be suspicious
**[02:42] ---**
if you met with him
in an unnatural setting.
**[02:46] ---**
That day, Ciel's *khansama* said
**[02:50] ---**
that Ciel has no memory of the
recent past, starting when we met.
**[02:54] ---**
And he said that to
keep from hurting Ciel,
**[02:58] ---**
he wants us to act as if nothing's
happened until the memories come back.
**[03:01] ---**
He said he'd made the same request
to everyone else who knows Ciel.
**[03:20] ---**
"Even if I'm plunged
to the depths of despair,
**[03:23] ---**
if there's a spider's thread
there that I can crawl up,
**[03:25] ---**
I'll take hold of it without giving up.
**[03:27] ---**
We humans have the strength for that."
**[03:30] ---**
Ciel said that to me.
**[03:32] ---**
Your Highness...
**[03:33] ---**
I won't give up!
**[03:35] ---**
I'll play this part perfectly for Ciel!
**[03:38] ---**
Don't you dare let him
catch on. Got it, Agni?
**[03:42] ---**
*Jo ājñā.*
**[03:45] ---**
"Beacon Butler"
**[03:51] ---**
Ball, ball, ball!
**[03:55] ---**
Tonight we're going to a costume ball!
**[03:58] ---**
I'm looking forward to it, yes!
**[04:00] ---**
Yeah, he's even letting us servants
come as long as we wear costumes!
**[04:04] ---**
Now that's a nice fellow for you.
Hmm... what's his name, again?
**[04:08] ---**
Tr... Tr... Trumpet?
**[04:10] ---**
It's "Lord Trancy," yes!
**[04:15] ---**
Alois Trancy...
**[04:17] ---**
You say the previous Earl
Trancy died three years ago?
**[04:21] ---**
Yes.
**[04:24] ---**
Three years ago...
**[04:26] ---**
Father! Mother!
**[04:32] ---**
Stop it!
**[04:35] ---**
Alois went missing after he was
kidnapped when he was very young.
**[04:40] ---**
But he came back just
before his father passed away.
**[04:43] ---**
Along with a mysterious butler...
**[04:46] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[04:48] ---**
Yes, my lord. The story
seems familiar somehow.
**[04:53] ---**
It's a common one.
**[05:04] ---**
Right, then. We'll be
coming in the back way.
**[05:06] ---**
See you later, young master!
**[05:08] ---**
Look forward to seeing our costumes!
**[05:24] ---**
The Right Honorable Ciel,
Earl Phantomhive, I presume?
**[05:27] ---**
We've been expecting you.
**[05:29] ---**
I am Claude Faustus,
the butler of this house.
**[05:36] ---**
Please come in.
**[05:41] ---**
What is it?
**[05:44] ---**
Ah, yes.
**[05:46] ---**
The Trancy coat of arms bears a spider,
**[05:49] ---**
so it's our tradition not to kill them.
**[05:51] ---**
That makes sense.
**[05:52] ---**
If you try to force it away,
it will cling to you for life.
**[05:59] ---**
This way, please.
**[06:23] ---**
Young master, what's the matter?
**[06:26] ---**
It's nothing!
**[06:29] ---**
Might my butler come along?
**[06:30] ---**
Of course.
**[06:32] ---**
Come on.
**[06:33] ---**
Certainly.
**[06:33] ---**
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid my master
**[06:35] ---**
is currently away on business.
**[06:37] ---**
He'll return in time for the ball.
**[06:40] ---**
I see.
**[06:41] ---**
I've laid out tea in the drawing room.
**[06:44] ---**
Everyone else is already there.
**[06:47] ---**
"Everyone else"?
**[06:49] ---**
Ciel!
**[06:52] ---**
Elizabeth?!
**[06:54] ---**
Honestly! It's "Lizzie."
**[06:56] ---**
You're late, my lord.
**[06:59] ---**
Lau!
**[07:01] ---**
So you two were invited as well?
**[07:03] ---**
Which means...
**[07:06] ---**
What is it?
**[07:07] ---**
Nothing. I thought Madam Red
might be here too, but I don't see her.
**[07:12] ---**
I'd have thought she wouldn't
miss this for the world...
**[07:16] ---**
Oh, well, you see--
**[07:19] ---**
Please calm down, Lady Elizabeth.
**[07:21] ---**
Ciel!
**[07:24] ---**
Oh, my.
**[07:27] ---**
Ciel! Ciel!
**[07:29] ---**
Who in blazes are you?! Let me go!
**[07:31] ---**
Who am I?! You mean you... you...
**[07:37] ---**
I told you, let me go!
**[07:39] ---**
Is that...
**[07:41] ---**
Yes, that's Prince Soma.
**[07:43] ---**
He'll ruin everything!
**[07:45] ---**
Not to worry, my lady.
Prince Soma has *him*.
**[07:49] ---**
You mustn't do that, Your Highness!
**[07:51] ---**
No! Ciel! Ciel!
**[07:54] ---**
Who *is* that man?
**[08:00] ---**
My apologies, my lord.
**[08:02] ---**
This is the 26th child of the king of Bengal,
**[08:06] ---**
Prince Soma Asman Kadar.
**[08:08] ---**
And why would that "prince" start
weeping the moment he saw me?
**[08:11] ---**
Ciel!
**[08:13] ---**
I-I finally got to see you, but you're...
**[08:16] ---**
His Highness is deeply moved at meeting
the founder of the Funtom Company.
**[08:19] ---**
Funtom toys are considered very rare
and wonderful where we come from.
**[08:23] ---**
Our memories will never fade!
**[08:26] ---**
Those toys hold precious
memories of the prince and his friend.
**[08:30] ---**
No matter what happens, the
friendship between the two of us will--
**[08:33] ---**
That friend was very
dear to His Highness.
**[08:37] ---**
But he... he... Oh, it's heartbreaking!
**[08:42] ---**
My prince!
**[08:44] ---**
Agni!
**[08:49] ---**
I fear we can do nothing with them.
**[08:51] ---**
Young master, let's retire to our
rooms. We must prepare for the ball.
**[08:55] ---**
Come, now.
**[08:59] ---**
Ciel! Ciel!
**[09:06] ---**
What queer people.
**[09:08] ---**
Foreigners are a bit baffling, aren't they?
**[09:27] ---**
Sebastian, search this mansion
from top to bottom, understood?
**[09:31] ---**
Very good.
**[09:42] ---**
Shit.
**[09:44] ---**
And this is shit. This one's shit, too!
**[09:46] ---**
And this!
**[09:54] ---**
This is shit of the highest grade!
**[10:03] ---**
Where is he?
**[10:04] ---**
He has arrived.
**[10:07] ---**
I was choosing a costume.
**[10:09] ---**
You wear one too, Claude.
How about something like this?
**[10:16] ---**
Olé!
**[10:27] ---**
All the costumes you
brought me are bloody useless!
**[10:31] ---**
Strip, Hannah.
**[11:14] ---**
I assume you're ready, Claude?
**[11:17] ---**
Certainly. I transform day
into night, pleasure into pain,
**[11:20] ---**
and waltzes into requiems.
**[11:22] ---**
That's what makes a Trancy butler.
**[11:26] ---**
I'll show you a good
time, Ciel Phantomhive.
**[11:46] ---**
Ciel!
**[11:47] ---**
You wear one of these, too.
**[11:50] ---**
Fine.
**[11:54] ---**
Now we match!
**[12:04] ---**
Jingle, jingle!
**[12:05] ---**
You're not wearing a
costume, Your Highness?
**[12:09] ---**
This is my Sherlock Holmes costume.
**[12:12] ---**
Young master!
**[12:14] ---**
We're the Three Musketeers
of Chinese monsters!
**[12:17] ---**
Magic monkey!
**[12:18] ---**
Let's go, Gandhara, yes!
**[12:21] ---**
We had a costume made
for you too, young master!
**[12:23] ---**
Ta-da!
**[12:29] ---**
Rejected.
**[12:33] ---**
At least wear this part!
**[12:35] ---**
Tonight's party is shaping up to be
very entertaining, isn't it, Ran-Mao?
**[12:50] ---**
This is a marvelous room.
**[12:52] ---**
Everything is perfect, from
the precision of the bedclothes
**[12:54] ---**
to the cleaning and
even the desk drawers.
**[12:58] ---**
I sense the special care for your
guest that you must have taken.
**[13:01] ---**
It's been very educational for me.
**[13:03] ---**
How nice.
**[13:04] ---**
I'm more impressed by the passion
**[13:06] ---**
that prompts you to stoop to
petty thievery in service to your duty.
**[13:10] ---**
You flatter me.
**[13:17] ---**
I won't let you have my young master.
**[13:19] ---**
You see, I am his butler
come hell or high water.
**[13:23] ---**
The master's orders are absolute.
**[13:25] ---**
I'm one hell of a butler too, you know.
**[13:31] ---**
Pardon me.
**[13:40] ---**
Maybe we should help out, too?
**[13:44] ---**
I agree, yes!
**[13:46] ---**
We'll show them all what the
Phantomhive servants are made of!
**[13:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[13:56] ---**
I-I was just chopping up the food...
**[14:03] ---**
I was just trying to carry the box!
**[14:31] ---**
Sorry.
**[14:33] ---**
Th-They're good!
**[14:35] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[14:39] ---**
Thank you, yes...
**[14:42] ---**
Are you all right?
**[14:47] ---**
I'm so sorry.
**[14:48] ---**
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[14:50] ---**
No, it would be horrible
if your costume stained.
**[14:56] ---**
Come, this way.
**[15:10] ---**
I'm finished.
**[15:18] ---**
I say!
**[15:23] ---**
A lovely blue.
**[15:25] ---**
I wonder if your soul turns
this color when you die?
**[15:29] ---**
What?
**[15:33] ---**
That same color.
**[15:35] ---**
That same color as your ring.
**[15:39] ---**
What are you on about?
**[15:41] ---**
I wonder: if I could become one with you,
**[15:46] ---**
would I be able to have this blue?
**[15:55] ---**
Your eye is impure.
**[16:14] ---**
Honestly, there's just
nothing to be done with you!
**[16:16] ---**
S-Sorry...
**[16:18] ---**
We repent, yes.
**[16:20] ---**
My prince.
**[16:23] ---**
It's finished, then, Watson?
**[16:25] ---**
"Watson"?
**[16:26] ---**
Yes.
**[16:31] ---**
Well, if it isn't curry bread.
**[16:33] ---**
Where did they come from?
**[16:35] ---**
I borrowed the house's
kitchen to make them.
**[16:37] ---**
Ciel's memory might come
back if he eats some of these.
**[16:42] ---**
That was my thought.
**[16:44] ---**
We'll help!
**[16:45] ---**
We want to show him lots of fun,
and get him to remember old times, yes!
**[16:50] ---**
Yes.
**[16:50] ---**
Yup!
**[16:51] ---**
It seems everyone feels the same.
**[16:56] ---**
Wait, the earl has amnesia?
**[16:59] ---**
Really? Since when?
**[17:01] ---**
You didn't know?
**[17:04] ---**
I wonder where Ciel went...
**[17:18] ---**
*What? I know this mansion?*
**[17:21] ---**
*No, that doesn't make sense...*
**[17:45] ---**
--Sebastian?
*-- "New Moon Drop"...*
**[17:47] ---**
*People say that tea leaves
plucked on the night of the full moon*
**[17:51] ---**
*have a clear, sweet smell,*
**[17:52] ---**
*but these are the opposite:
tea leaves plucked at new moon.*
**[17:56] ---**
*They give off an indistinct scent...*
**[18:09] ---**
It's otherwise known as
"the soul's temperature."
**[18:14] ---**
Sebastian!
**[18:21] ---**
Not yet.
**[18:23] ---**
It's all right; I promise to
show it to you. But first...
**[18:31] ---**
*Give me that trunk, Sebastian Michaelis!*
**[18:57] ---**
*Don't kill him! You mustn't kill him!*
**[19:00] ---**
*Catch him, Claude!*
**[19:04] ---**
*Ciel Phantomhive?*
**[19:08] ---**
*I finally have you, Ciel!*
**[19:23] ---**
What's wrong?
**[19:29] ---**
Can't you breathe? Does it hurt?
**[19:33] ---**
If it hurts, I'll lick it all better for you.
**[19:36] ---**
I'll lick your wounds.
**[19:38] ---**
Enough of this farce.
**[19:40] ---**
Enough of this farce, Alois Trancy!
**[19:45] ---**
So you were on to me. What a drag.
**[19:48] ---**
I thought if I let you get
me alone, you'd make a move.
**[19:52] ---**
So you followed me on purpose?
**[19:54] ---**
But...
**[20:03] ---**
I can't have you underestimating me.
**[20:06] ---**
My young master is quite right.
**[20:12] ---**
I believe I warned you earlier, Claude.
**[20:17] ---**
Oh, we just wanted to chat somewhere quiet.
**[20:20] ---**
What could you possibly want from me
**[20:22] ---**
enough to hold a costume ball
and dress yourself up that way?
**[20:27] ---**
I want you.
**[20:29] ---**
What do you mean?
**[20:30] ---**
That I want you. That's
all, Ciel Phantomhive.
**[20:36] ---**
If you refuse me...
**[20:38] ---**
I'll have everyone in there killed.
**[20:45] ---**
I've arranged for a little performance.
**[20:47] ---**
And if it begins, everyone dies.
**[20:51] ---**
Including the people you care about.
**[21:05] ---**
Well?
**[21:09] ---**
Do as you like.
**[21:14] ---**
Are you sure about that?
**[21:16] ---**
Of course--*if* you can. I have
something I'd like to ask you, too.
**[21:20] ---**
What is it? I'll tell you...
**[21:23] ---**
if you bow down and kiss my arse.
**[21:27] ---**
I wonder which of us
will kiss arse in the end?
**[21:29] ---**
Well, aren't *you* confident?
**[21:34] ---**
Don't get cocky just because
your butler has a little talent.
**[21:39] ---**
My Claude here is even *more* amazing!
**[21:45] ---**
Yes, I thought you'd have one.
**[21:49] ---**
You understand our contract, Sebastian.
**[21:53] ---**
You'll serve me, you'll protect
me, and you will not kill me
**[21:58] ---**
until my goal is achieved.
**[22:00] ---**
Of course.
**[22:02] ---**
I've been your loyal
servant ever since that day.
**[22:05] ---**
I'll grant you any wish you like...
**[22:08] ---**
Until the day our contract is
fulfilled and I take your soul.
**[22:12] ---**
Good answer.
**[22:13] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[22:17] ---**
Claude!
**[22:19] ---**
Get me Ciel!
**[22:20] ---**
This is an order, Sebastian.
**[22:23] ---**
Do whatever it takes to
protect me. Do not fail.
**[22:27] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[22:29] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[22:40] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[22:47] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[22:54] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[22:59] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[23:06] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[23:14] ---**
*I mourn that I can't go in search*
**[23:20] ---**
*Of that blue sky I once saw*
**[23:28] ---**
*But everyone is in the sky*
**[23:35] ---**
*In the cage of freedom*
**[23:42] ---**
*In a starless night sky*
**[23:49] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[24:05] ---**
*Black roses and vows are exchanged.*
**[24:08] ---**
*The fragrance my
young master's soul gives off*
**[24:10] ---**
*intoxicates demons, drives them mad,*
**[24:13] ---**
*and impels them toward
the farce called "battle."*
**[24:18] ---**
*Next time: "Bedewed Butler."*
**[24:22] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler who won't
recapture his initial enthusiasm on occasion*
**[24:27] ---**
*and make some raw beef donburi
isn't worth his salt.*
**[24:28] ---**

Now then, young master...
**[00:45] ---**
What is this?

"Bedewed Butler"
**[02:33] ---**
Group attack: The Raking from Hell!
**[03:09] ---**
I see you are all quite skilled.
**[03:22] ---**
You were just like a doll then...
**[03:27] ---**
Did you say something?
**[03:28] ---**
I said that if you'd let me put
you in a trunk, young master,
**[03:31] ---**
it would be ever so
much easier to carry you.
**[03:33] ---**
This is no time for joking!
**[03:35] ---**
My apologies, my lord.
**[03:50] ---**
Sebastian's amazing.
**[03:52] ---**
Could he actually be
better than you, Claude?
**[03:56] ---**
If we forced him to
crawl on the ground for us,
**[03:58] ---**
that'd be even more amazing.
**[04:00] ---**
Can you do it, Claude?
**[04:18] ---**
What's that?
**[04:43] ---**
What's that, yes?
**[04:44] ---**
Is it another instrument?
**[04:46] ---**
Well, now, I didn't
expect to see *that* here...
**[04:51] ---**
You know what it is?
**[05:25] ---**
Your Highness!
**[05:27] ---**
Wh-What is this?!
**[05:41] ---**
Young master, please cover your ears.
**[05:43] ---**
My ears?
**[05:45] ---**
What is this sound?!
**[05:47] ---**
I believe it's been a hundred
years since I last heard it.
**[06:05] ---**
My lady!
**[06:07] ---**
My head!
**[06:09] ---**
Oh, it hurts!
**[06:12] ---**
Did I drink too much?!
**[06:13] ---**
I say, what's going on here?
**[06:15] ---**
You know something about--
**[06:16] ---**
Hmm? What?
**[06:20] ---**
Why, you!
**[06:30] ---**
Prince Soma!
**[06:39] ---**
What's going on here?
**[06:42] ---**
That music must be controlling them.
**[07:05] ---**
Sebastian, we have
to get back to the hall.
**[07:07] ---**
No need to worry, my lord.
**[07:09] ---**
One of my very few
friends is here today.
**[07:25] ---**
No no no!
**[07:29] ---**
Oh, it's all quiet now!
**[07:32] ---**
All the noise around
me's gotten softer, yes!
**[07:35] ---**
My headache's better--hey!
**[07:40] ---**
Now there's something wrong with *us*!
**[07:42] ---**
Our voices are coming out delayed!
**[07:44] ---**
It's like that volleyball move where
you fake the timing of your jump!
**[07:51] ---**
They're coming, everyone.
**[08:11] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[08:13] ---**
Agni! Stop their attacks by
knocking them unconscious!
**[08:16] ---**
*Jo ājñā*!
**[08:40] ---**
Are you all right, young master?
**[08:43] ---**
Shut your mouth and *run*!
**[08:44] ---**
Certainly.
**[08:58] ---**
Oh, hell! There are
just too many of them!
**[09:07] ---**
Prince Soma!
**[09:16] ---**
Prince Soma! Prince Soma!
**[09:20] ---**
Are you hurt?!
**[09:21] ---**
Agni...
**[09:23] ---**
What happened?
**[09:29] ---**
This sound...
**[09:32] ---**
It's Sebastian!
**[09:38] ---**
I feel so peaceful somehow!
**[09:41] ---**
Relaxed, yes!
**[09:44] ---**
I can hardly believe it.
**[09:47] ---**
Sebastian's performance
is merging with hers
**[09:51] ---**
and transforming
the quality of the sound.
**[09:54] ---**
To think those ominous,
uncanny sound waves
**[09:56] ---**
could change into something so
full of warmth and loving-kindness...
**[10:01] ---**
It truly proves the
performer's purity of heart!
**[10:05] ---**
Magnificent...
**[10:06] ---**
You are magnificent indeed, Sebastian!
**[10:22] ---**
Oh, he's so wonderful, yes!
**[11:10] ---**
What a magnificent performance!
**[11:13] ---**
Bravo!
**[11:14] ---**
What in the world is this?
**[11:21] ---**
It was a magnificent performance
thanks to you. I'm very grateful.
**[11:26] ---**
Hmph. So flashy...
**[11:28] ---**
Ciel?
**[11:31] ---**
What *is* that instrument?
**[11:33] ---**
An armonica.
**[11:34] ---**
It was extremely popular
in the eighteenth century.
**[11:37] ---**
People called it "the voice of the angels."
**[11:39] ---**
Some feared that it disturbed
the minds of those it enchanted,
**[11:43] ---**
and it was banished to the dark corners
of our history as a demon's instrument.
**[11:46] ---**
In other words, a "demon's
instrument" created by humans
**[11:49] ---**
could be no match for you?
**[11:51] ---**
Yes, I found the sound rather pleasant.
**[11:54] ---**
But what was all this fuss about?!
**[11:57] ---**
It was simply a diversion for my guests.
**[12:02] ---**
Ladies and gentleman, I'm so sorry I'm late.
**[12:05] ---**
I am Alois Trancy. I'm honored
to make your acquaintance.
**[12:10] ---**
Oh, so that's him!
**[12:12] ---**
He's so young...
**[12:14] ---**
I'm relieved to see you enjoyed
the entertainment while I was away.
**[12:24] ---**
That performance was magnificent.
**[12:26] ---**
You have great musical talent.
**[12:29] ---**
I'm afraid I do not
deserve such praise.
**[12:31] ---**
You see, I am merely
one hell of a butler.
**[12:34] ---**
You have an excellent
butler, Earl Phantomhive.
**[12:38] ---**
He's just a butler.
**[12:40] ---**
Young master...
**[12:41] ---**
I'd like to have a word with
Claude, if you wouldn't mind?
**[12:46] ---**
Why not, Claude?
**[12:49] ---**
Ten minutes. Settle this in ten minutes.
**[12:52] ---**
If you can't, you'll be punished.
**[12:55] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[12:57] ---**
Get this over with
quickly, do you hear me?
**[13:00] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:18] ---**
You are persistent people, hunting
my young master so relentlessly.
**[13:24] ---**
My master ordered it.
**[13:26] ---**
"Steal Ciel Phantomhive
from Sebastian Michaelis."
**[13:30] ---**
He is *my* young master.
**[13:34] ---**
The feel of him...
**[13:38] ---**
One rarely encounters something so fine.
**[13:42] ---**
Just remembering that someone
other than myself has touched him
**[13:45] ---**
makes me sick.
**[13:48] ---**
With your sticky white spider's
threads, you've defiled his...
**[13:54] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive's...
**[14:07] ---**
...soul.
**[14:29] ---**
What is this?
**[14:43] ---**
My young master... is empty...
**[15:19] ---**
That day, you stole him from me.
**[15:23] ---**
My precious young master's soul...
**[15:28] ---**
But it wasn't complete.
Not with just his soul.
**[15:32] ---**
The body is necessary, too.
**[15:34] ---**
And then you came here.
**[15:36] ---**
Yes. I retrieved his soul from you.
**[15:40] ---**
And yet, he is still not *my* young master.
**[16:02] ---**
Now then, young master...
**[16:05] ---**
It's time to wake up.
**[16:19] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive lost his memories,
**[16:22] ---**
and the pain he lived through.
**[16:34] ---**
My young master's soul,
which I so carefully cultivated...
**[16:37] ---**
Ah, I thought so. What you want
is a soul that's had its revenge.
**[16:42] ---**
However...
**[16:46] ---**
I sense an extraordinary will in you.
**[16:49] ---**
A fierce obsession with that soul.
**[16:52] ---**
But of course. You see, I am a demon.
**[16:55] ---**
And you have a master as well, don't you?
**[16:58] ---**
Cultivate a soul, and then
feast upon it. That is our lives.
**[17:02] ---**
My master is another one of
those rare souls worth desiring.
**[17:07] ---**
But to give a soul that's lost
its memories a second revenge...
**[17:12] ---**
No human is worth the trouble.
**[17:14] ---**
My young master is unlike any
other human you've ever seen.
**[17:24] ---**
As to this second revenge...
**[17:26] ---**
I do intend for him to
have his vengeance again.
**[17:31] ---**
But I lack something critical.
**[17:35] ---**
A target of that vengeance.
**[17:37] ---**
What are your master's orders?
**[17:39] ---**
You said they were to steal my
young master from me, and yet...
**[17:43] ---**
They are to make you suffer
an agony worse than death.
**[17:47] ---**
In that case...
**[17:48] ---**
A Ciel Phantomhive without his
memories of revenge is meaningless.
**[17:54] ---**
I must steal a perfected
Ciel Phantomhive,
**[17:55] ---**
one who has gained revenge.
**[18:01] ---**
Would you care to make a deal?
**[18:06] ---**
Well, Ciel? Doesn't it
bring back memories?
**[18:09] ---**
What, exactly, is eating this thing
supposed to make me remember?
**[18:13] ---**
I hate spicy foods, anyway.
**[18:16] ---**
My prince...
**[18:18] ---**
Still...
**[18:20] ---**
The flavor isn't bad.
**[18:29] ---**
Lau!
**[18:30] ---**
Oh, Lord Phantomhive!
So, how did it all turn out in the end?
**[18:34] ---**
That's where you've been all this time?
**[19:14] ---**
I shall make the two of you the
targets of my young master's revenge.
**[19:18] ---**
And once Ciel Phantomhive
gains his revenge, I will take him.
**[19:22] ---**
We place our seals...
**[19:25] ---**
...on this pact.
**[19:48] ---**
One minute left.
**[19:55] ---**
Claude!
**[20:00] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[20:02] ---**
I took care of it quickly,
just as you ordered, my lord.
**[20:05] ---**
Enough games!
**[20:16] ---**
This is...
**[20:17] ---**
had they been investigating me?!
**[20:23] ---**
My father, even...?
**[20:25] ---**
Then... Then he really is the one!
**[20:29] ---**
Why is Sebastian still alive?
**[20:32] ---**
You botched this, Claude.
**[20:37] ---**
You botched it!
**[20:39] ---**
I'll have to punish you. What shall I do?
**[20:42] ---**
You did not order me
to kill Sebastian Michaelis.
**[20:48] ---**
All the arrangements have been made.
**[20:49] ---**
Day into night, snow-white
into crimson, and lies into truth.
**[20:54] ---**
That's what makes a Trancy butler.
**[20:59] ---**
I intend to make one
hell of a feast out of you.
**[21:15] ---**
Ciel! Where are you?
**[21:20] ---**
Let's dance, Lady Elizabeth.
**[21:22] ---**
M-My lord?!
**[21:25] ---**
I-I'm sorry. I'm looking for Ciel--
**[21:37] ---**
Goodness, are you
going to dance, my lord?
**[21:39] ---**
Quiet, you.
**[21:42] ---**
Ciel?
**[21:43] ---**
See, it *is* an entertaining
party, isn't it, Ran-Mao?
**[21:48] ---**
The young master is dancing, yes!
**[21:50] ---**
Well, will wonders never cease!
**[21:52] ---**
We should dance, too!
**[22:07] ---**
The young master belongs to me.
**[22:10] ---**
Ciel!
**[22:12] ---**
Ciel! Ciel!
**[22:18] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[22:19] ---**
Alois Trancy.
**[22:22] ---**
I swear...
**[22:24] ---**
I bloody swear...
**[22:27] ---**
...I'll make you mine.
**[22:29] ---**
...I'll kill you.
**[22:40] ---**
*Nemuru anata wa kanashisou de*

who deserve your vengeance.*

**[00:07] ---**
At noon you have the Funtom
Company's regular meeting,
**[00:10] ---**
and then at two o'clock your
dance lesson with Mrs. Hyatt.
**[00:14] ---**
At six Professor Macmillan will
give you your political studies lesson.
**[00:18] ---**
That's all you have scheduled for today.
**[00:19] ---**
Right.
**[00:20] ---**
Also, my lord, we received this.
**[00:31] ---**
"On behalf of the Earl Alois Trancy
**[00:33] ---**
I write to Lord Ciel
Phantomhive this day to apologize
**[00:35] ---**
for my master's discourtesy
at the ball the other day
**[00:38] ---**
and request your most honored
presence at the ball to be held
**[00:42] ---**
here at the Trancy mansion
tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock."
**[00:50] ---**
Alois Trancy...
**[00:55] ---**
*Incidents in the English
underworld which wrong the Queen*
**[00:59] ---**
*are judged in darkness
by the Phantomhives,*
**[01:02] ---**
*the "Queen's guard dogs,"*
**[01:04] ---**
*and erased in darkness by the
Trancys, the "Queen's spiders."*
**[01:12] ---**
*The two houses had the Queen's
trust as her "villainous nobles."*
**[01:15] ---**
*But Alois Trancy would not let matters lie.*
**[01:20] ---**
*Seeking to monopolize Her Majesty's favor,*
**[01:24] ---**
*Alois spread the rumor that the
guard dog was possessed by a demon.*
**[01:28] ---**
*At that time, the previous
head of the Phantomhives*
**[01:31] ---**
*was investigating a series
of mysterious live burnings.*
**[01:35] ---**
*Alois proclaimed that the crimes
were the Phantomhives' doing,*
**[01:40] ---**
*and decided at his own
discretion to purge them...*
**[01:44] ---**
*In the name of "exorcism."*
**[01:47] ---**
*And then Alois and his butler
destroyed all the evidence.*
**[01:53] ---**
*According to the records, the
"spider" either erased people's pasts*
**[01:56] ---**
*or replaced them with false ones*
**[01:58] ---**
*to cover up the crimes.*
**[02:05] ---**
It's true, Lord Trancy ordered me
**[02:08] ---**
to burn down the Phantomhive
manor and sell off the surviving child.
**[02:13] ---**
Please, please spare my life!
**[02:16] ---**
Atone for the crime of
sullying my pride with your life.
**[02:24] ---**
Alois... so you're the one I should kill.
**[02:30] ---**
This time I'll make
them dance to my tune...
**[02:33] ---**
the Danse Macabre.
**[02:36] ---**
The "Dance of Death," my lord?
**[02:39] ---**
They've spared us the
trouble of inviting them here.
**[02:43] ---**
Let's go, Sebastian.
It's time for our duel.
**[02:47] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[02:49] ---**
In that case, allow me to
alter the schedule slightly.
**[02:52] ---**
We'll attend the
noon meeting as planned.
**[02:55] ---**
I'll have Mrs. Hyatt and
Professor Macmillan rescheduled
**[02:58] ---**
to tomorrow at the
earliest, and today at four...
**[03:05] ---**
...we'll have a death match
with the house of Trancy.
**[03:11] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[03:19] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[03:26] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[03:34] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[03:37] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[03:44] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[03:50] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[03:58] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[04:05] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[04:13] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[04:21] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[04:29] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[04:39] ---**
"Deathly Butler"
**[04:44] ---**
Ciel! You came!
**[04:48] ---**
Alois Trancy.
**[04:49] ---**
It was very good of you to come, my lord.
**[04:54] ---**
Come right this way! I'm holding
a very special ball for you today.
**[05:00] ---**
What is this?
**[05:01] ---**
One of the dueling arenas of old.
**[05:03] ---**
I say, Ciel, why don't we have
our butlers dance in our places?
**[05:09] ---**
Whoever can dance the longest wins.
**[05:12] ---**
The loser will have to
follow the victor's orders.
**[05:16] ---**
What do you think?
**[05:18] ---**
It would seem they
planned a death match as well.
**[05:23] ---**
That sounds like just our sort of ball.
**[05:26] ---**
Much better than dressing
ourselves up in false costumes.
**[05:33] ---**
Sebastian, this is an order:
**[05:37] ---**
Win, and bring Alois Trancy
to stand before me!
**[05:41] ---**
I'll kill him with my own hands.
**[05:44] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[05:48] ---**
Your orders, Master?
**[05:51] ---**
Hmm? Ah, yes.
**[05:53] ---**
Make Ciel Phantomhive mine.
**[05:58] ---**
And give Sebastian
Michaelis exquisite agony.
**[06:03] ---**
I'm sure you can
do it, can't you Claude?
**[06:06] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[06:18] ---**
Now, then...
**[06:21] ---**
F-F-Fantastique!
**[06:25] ---**
This is the ancient dueling arena
where legendary heroes crossed swords!
**[06:30] ---**
And this is to be this evening's ball?
**[06:32] ---**
I have never felt so honored
to receive a dance invitation!
**[06:37] ---**
Sir, might I ask what
brings you here today?
**[06:41] ---**
But of course! I am ever so honored
to be invited to this costume ball.
**[06:45] ---**
I am Aleister Chambers,
the Viscount Druitt.
**[06:47] ---**
I'm afraid the costume
ball ended last week.
**[06:50] ---**
Today's ball is a private one
for the Earl Phantomhive alone.
**[06:55] ---**
Great Scott... What a terrible mistake!
**[06:58] ---**
How could I have mixed up the dates?!
**[07:01] ---**
I'll just go home, then.
**[07:03] ---**
But why did no one tell me?
**[07:06] ---**
I suppose society really does look
down on those with a criminal record...
**[07:14] ---**
That visage as pure and
clear as a lake's surface!
**[07:17] ---**
With a steely-gray knife in your hand,
**[07:19] ---**
you could be one of Valhalla's valkyries!
**[07:21] ---**
No, with the alluring, dusky elegance
**[07:23] ---**
of your one-eyed form
concealed by bandages,
**[07:25] ---**
I ought rightfully to call
you a beautiful demoness!
**[07:28] ---**
Your discernment is as
impressive as one would expect.
**[07:32] ---**
A weapon?
**[07:34] ---**
Part of our scheme for today's ball.
**[07:35] ---**
A ball so charged with allure and danger!
**[07:40] ---**
I, Druitt, serve the goddess of beauty,
**[07:43] ---**
and I insist on observing
this for my own edification!
**[07:50] ---**
Now then, let us begin...
**[07:54] ---**
...the Danse Macabre.
**[07:56] ---**
Group attack: Bloody Washtub.
**[07:59] ---**
A three-on-one attack
**[08:01] ---**
using a dagger, a long-range
weapon, and a projectile weapon!
**[08:04] ---**
And yet--!
**[08:10] ---**
Group attack: move from the Bloody
Washtub to the Cursed Vanity Mirror.
**[08:15] ---**
And now a simultaneous three-man attack?
**[08:21] ---**
You have just the rapport
I should expect from identical faces.
**[08:54] ---**
Well, then...
**[09:05] ---**
Now you can get along even better.
**[09:06] ---**
G-Great Scott!
**[09:08] ---**
Nice work.
**[09:12] ---**
Oh, now I'll have to mend this.
**[09:16] ---**
No need.
**[09:18] ---**
You'll be full of holes soon.
**[09:30] ---**
Great Scott!
**[09:32] ---**
I see, I certainly am in danger
of being full of holes like this.
**[09:38] ---**
I shall repay you for every last bullet.
**[10:16] ---**
That will do. It's teatime.
**[10:18] ---**
Goodness, is it that late already?
**[10:22] ---**
I must prepare my master's refreshments.
**[10:26] ---**
We'll suspend the match temporarily.
**[10:27] ---**
In that case, might I make
use of your kitchen as well?
**[10:44] ---**
*Souls of worth...*
**[10:53] ---**
*Luscious souls...*
**[10:57] ---**
*If souls do vary in taste,*
**[11:02] ---**
*a soul like Ciel Phantomhive's,
obsessively pursued by a demon...*
**[11:07] ---**
Oh, do excuse me.
**[11:10] ---**
The way you looked at my
young master concerned me.
**[11:13] ---**
The way you seemed to be
assessing his soul's flavor...
**[11:25] ---**
I won't allow you to
lay a finger on his soul,
**[11:31] ---**
or give him any lip either.
**[11:41] ---**
G-Great Scott!
**[11:46] ---**
What a pointless display.
**[11:49] ---**
Today's tea features *puits d'amour,*
**[11:52] ---**
*crème pâtissière* and raspberry
jam in a pastry made of pie dough,
**[11:57] ---**
accompanying Mariage Frères Eros tea.
**[12:10] ---**
E-E-E-E-Excellent!
**[12:15] ---**
This *puits d'amour* pairs rich
cream with the tartness of raspberry
**[12:19] ---**
in a satiny ensemble one could
justly call the Silk Road of flavor!
**[12:23] ---**
I thirst for more--yes, how I thirst!
**[12:25] ---**
I travel the Taklamakan
Desert of the palate!
**[12:28] ---**
Could you be flavor's Marco Polo?!
**[12:33] ---**
*Forêt noire*:
**[12:35] ---**
layers of chocolate sponge
cake and cherry compote
**[12:39] ---**
dressed with white cream.
**[12:42] ---**
It accompanies a superfine
Keemun tea I had sent to us
**[12:45] ---**
from the Qing Empire's Anhui Province.
**[12:47] ---**
All right.
**[12:48] ---**
Tr-Tr-Tr-Tr...
**[12:52] ---**
*Très bien*!
**[12:54] ---**
This *forêt noire*...
**[12:56] ---**
The rich aroma of the chocolate
accentuates the aroma of the cherry!
**[13:00] ---**
Its sweetness and mellowness
are like surging waves
**[13:01] ---**
which arrive at your feet
having circumnavigated the globe!
**[13:03] ---**
Yes, one could justly call
this flavor's Age of Discovery!
**[13:06] ---**
My head spins at the overwhelming
deliciousness! Spins, I say!
**[13:08] ---**
It's the Ptolemaic model of the palate!
**[13:10] ---**
Could you be flavor's Vasco da Gama?!
**[13:15] ---**
Who could say which
of the two is better?!
**[13:18] ---**
I... I...!
**[13:21] ---**
I'm just so moved,
I must go powder my nose!
**[13:23] ---**
The water closet is that way.
**[13:27] ---**
What's wrong with that man?
**[13:33] ---**
Now, let us resume.
**[13:38] ---**
Shall we dance?
**[13:41] ---**
Very well.
**[13:43] ---**
Now, then...
**[13:47] ---**
Claude...
**[13:50] ---**
Yes.
**[14:09] ---**
What's that?
**[14:14] ---**
Well, my goodness me!
**[14:18] ---**
If it isn't Lævateinn,
**[14:19] ---**
that cursed ancient sword
cloaked in eternal darkness!
**[14:22] ---**
I never dreamed you
had such a fine article.
**[14:25] ---**
I'm merely giving your invitation
to dance the response it deserves.
**[14:30] ---**
Let's begin our Danse Macabre.
**[14:50] ---**
Look at Claude's sword, Ciel!
**[14:53] ---**
I'll admit it did make me tremble.
**[14:58] ---**
Would you mind showing me
around the manor, Alois Trancy?
**[15:04] ---**
What, you need the water closet too?
**[15:06] ---**
Of course!
**[15:10] ---**
Well, now. I don't think much of you
passing off the dance to your butler
**[15:13] ---**
and then leaving, young master.
**[15:15] ---**
I think even less of you letting
your eyes wander during our dance!
**[15:20] ---**
Are you sure being so
keen on that human's soul
**[15:26] ---**
hasn't dulled your demon's instincts?
**[15:31] ---**
Oh, my. When did that happen?
**[15:38] ---**
I say, where are you going?
**[15:42] ---**
I've watched enough
of those performances.
**[15:48] ---**
Alois, Earl Trancy.
**[15:50] ---**
You robbed me of my
pride and demeaned me.
**[15:56] ---**
I hereby challenge you to a duel!
**[16:03] ---**
Oh, so you didn't just want
me to come piss with you.
**[16:09] ---**
The house of Trancy's spider
threads can cut through steel.
**[16:13] ---**
If you move, you'll lose your head.
**[16:17] ---**
There's a spider butler for you.
**[16:20] ---**
Ah, I feel so marvelously refreshed!
**[16:27] ---**
I've never dueled before.
**[16:30] ---**
You decide how we'll do it, Ciel.
**[16:33] ---**
We stand back to back, and
begin walking at the call of "Allez!"
**[16:36] ---**
We pivot on the tenth step,
and the duel begins.
**[16:41] ---**
All right. Sounds like fun!
**[16:43] ---**
Great Scott! A duel!
**[16:48] ---**
Allez!
**[16:49] ---**
One, two, three, four,
**[16:54] ---**
fi--
**[16:56] ---**
No cheating.
**[17:01] ---**
Why, you!
**[17:15] ---**
Really, I wish you wouldn't
get so hot and bothered.
**[17:18] ---**
Come on, Ciel, let's
have fun with this dance!
**[17:21] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis.
**[17:34] ---**
Young master...
**[17:37] ---**
Come, now--one, two,
three! One, two, three!
**[17:41] ---**
Down you go!
**[17:53] ---**
You're finally mine, Ciel...
**[17:57] ---**
Sebastian wants to eat your soul.
**[18:01] ---**
But he won't get to. I'm going
to tear your soul to shreds
**[18:05] ---**
and feed it to the spiders of my mansion.
**[18:08] ---**
I just know it will rankle him terribly...
**[18:13] ---**
I'm about to have such a good time.
**[18:15] ---**
The soul of the Queen's guard dog
**[18:18] ---**
isn't so cheap that some trifling
little spider can afford a taste.
**[18:22] ---**
If you don't mind having your
legs ripped off, go ahead and try it.
**[18:27] ---**
So you've still got
the energy to be cheeky.
**[18:30] ---**
Just give up and be mine already!
**[18:37] ---**
I finally have you.
**[18:42] ---**
Young master!
**[18:56] ---**
Great Scott! Blood!
**[19:02] ---**
It hurts!
**[19:06] ---**
Help me! Help me, Claude!
**[19:09] ---**
Yes, Your High--
**[19:10] ---**
Stay back, Sebastian!
**[19:12] ---**
Stay back until I've killed him!
**[19:16] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[19:19] ---**
Die, Alois Trancy!
**[19:22] ---**
No! I don't want to die!
**[19:25] ---**
It hurts... Spare me, Ciel!
**[19:29] ---**
You're a disgrace, Alois.
**[19:31] ---**
Begging, after you killed my parents?!
**[19:33] ---**
You don't understand anything!
**[19:37] ---**
You're just being tricked by a demon!
**[19:40] ---**
Demon?
**[19:41] ---**
My parents were killed too, you know.
**[19:44] ---**
My dear family was burned to
death along with the whole village!
**[19:47] ---**
Someone stole what was dear to me!
**[19:50] ---**
You and I are the same!
**[19:53] ---**
I won't pester you anymore.
**[19:55] ---**
I'll apologize for everything! So... So...
**[20:00] ---**
Please spare my life!
**[20:08] ---**
Atone for the crime of
sullying my pride with your life!
**[20:14] ---**
Help me, Claude!
**[20:20] ---**
Claude!
**[20:21] ---**
Let me go, you bastard!
**[20:24] ---**
Young master!
**[20:39] ---**
Alois Trancy!
**[20:44] ---**
Given the circumstances,
I can't allow this dance to continue.
**[20:49] ---**
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we
must excuse ourselves for today.
**[20:54] ---**
Claude?
**[20:56] ---**
Qu-Quite. We'll save the
rest of our ball for another day.
**[21:01] ---**
Let's be on our way, young master.
**[21:05] ---**
First you run off on your own,
then you get yourself hurt...
**[21:08] ---**
I'm at my wit's end with you.
**[21:11] ---**
Do you really hate dancing that much?
**[21:13] ---**
Put me down, Sebastian!
**[21:15] ---**
Honestly, I don't know how
you still have the energy to act up
**[21:19] ---**
after losing all that blood.
**[21:21] ---**
It's the day of a ball.
**[21:24] ---**
Let's dance our way out, young master.
**[21:33] ---**
*That's a soul obsessively
pursued by a demon...*
**[21:37] ---**
What are you looking at, Claude?
**[21:41] ---**
Can't you see I've been
stabbed? Help me, quickly!
**[21:46] ---**
*He's signed his soul over to
a demon and gained its power,*
**[21:49] ---**
*yet only a revenge he wins with his
own hands holds meaning for him...*
**[21:54] ---**
*He knows blood and death and darkness,*
**[21:57] ---**
*and yet his soul is pure,
untainted, immaculate...*
**[22:03] ---**
Claude...?
**[22:05] ---**
*Day into night, pleasure into pain,*
**[22:09] ---**
*and this chance
encounter into... ecstasy...*
**[22:13] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel!
**[22:16] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel!
**[22:19] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero--
**[22:27] ---**
You look like
**[22:28] ---**
you're staring at maggots
swarming over a pile of... shit...
**[22:40] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[22:47] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[22:54] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[22:59] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[23:07] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[23:14] ---**
*I mourn that I can't go in search*
**[23:20] ---**
*Of that blue sky I once saw*
**[23:28] ---**
*But everyone is in the sky*
**[23:35] ---**
*In the cage of freedom*
**[23:42] ---**
*In a starless night sky*
**[23:49] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[24:04] ---**
*Jim Macken.*
**[24:06] ---**
*A grubby little boy with a dull name.*
**[24:10] ---**
*With the blond ringlets so
ill-matched to his lowly soul*
**[24:15] ---**
*he drew to himself the name "Alois Trancy."*
**[24:18] ---**
*Next time: "Divulging Butler."*
**[24:21] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler who
can't whisper a few words of love*
**[24:26] ---**
*isn't worth his salt.*
**[24:29] ---**

Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[00:11] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[00:15] ---**
Hoheo taralna rondero...
**[00:24] ---**
Please allow me to
change your bandages.
**[00:32] ---**
*You're* no use to me! Call Claude!
**[00:36] ---**
Y-Yes, at once.
**[00:43] ---**
*I've seen those eyes before.*
**[00:47] ---**
*Eyes that make your
skin burn and sting...*
**[00:53] ---**
Pardon me.
**[00:56] ---**
Allow me to change your bandages.
**[01:04] ---**
The brat could've at least
done a better job of stabbing me.
**[01:09] ---**
Yes, he used more
force than he could control,
**[01:11] ---**
and that threw his trajectory off.
**[01:13] ---**
If he'd kept calm, I'm sure he
would have been able to get deeper.
**[01:17] ---**
"Get deeper"? You almost
sound like you wish he had.
**[01:22] ---**
No. It's just...
**[01:26] ---**
It's such an awfully clumsy,
artless, pure wound.
**[01:32] ---**
Claude...
**[01:34] ---**
Yes?
**[01:35] ---**
Do you fancy the smell of my blood?
Does it make you want to feast?
**[01:43] ---**
Yes, it does.
**[01:47] ---**
Now, if you'll excuse me...
**[01:52] ---**
*What was that?*
**[01:57] ---**
*A smile? From Claude?!*
**[02:04] ---**
That's... sickening...
**[02:11] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[02:19] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[02:29] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[02:34] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[02:37] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[02:44] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[02:50] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[02:58] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[03:05] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[03:13] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[03:21] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[03:29] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[03:39] ---**
"Divulging Butler"
**[03:51] ---**
My lord...
**[04:18] ---**
Take...
**[04:22] ---**
Take me to him!
**[04:27] ---**
Take me to see Ciel Phantomhive!
**[05:19] ---**
Don't! That's my father's...
**[05:26] ---**
Cripes, they're poor.
**[05:30] ---**
Brother, do you think this is medicine?
**[05:33] ---**
Just throw it away.
**[05:35] ---**
I wonder if he'll be all
right without it. Will he die?
**[05:39] ---**
Not likely. Besides, who cares
if he does? He's a dotty old man.
**[05:48] ---**
What happened?
**[05:49] ---**
The baker threw a stone at me.
**[05:53] ---**
That old sod!
**[05:54] ---**
Brother...?
**[06:04] ---**
It's not just him.
**[06:05] ---**
They can all...
**[06:06] ---**
They can all just drop dead!
**[06:10] ---**
As soon as our parents died,
everyone treated us like nuisances.
**[06:15] ---**
I hope they die!
Everyone, everything, all gone!
**[06:20] ---**
I hope your wish comes true, Brother.
**[06:24] ---**
I know it will! You can eat
three kidney pies at a time,
**[06:28] ---**
and run faster than Spring Heeled Jack!
**[06:30] ---**
Run run run, jump!
**[06:33] ---**
Yeah! You're terrific,
so you'll get a terrific lot of wishes!
**[06:37] ---**
Luka.
**[06:38] ---**
You have to stick with me
always from now on, got that?
**[06:42] ---**
If anyone throws a stone at you,
**[06:43] ---**
I'll throw a hundred pieces of
horse manure at them! Understood?
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[07:06] ---**
What is this?
**[07:20] ---**
They went and died.
**[07:22] ---**
Brother?
**[07:23] ---**
That old man with the bad lungs,
the baker who threw stones at you...
**[07:27] ---**
And Miz Lila who used to
fling rubbish at our house?
**[07:30] ---**
And that rotten vicar who spit on us!
**[07:34] ---**
And Daniel the shoe-shiner,
who always boasted about his sweets!
**[07:40] ---**
All the bounders who were
always so nasty to us are dead!
**[07:44] ---**
Dead good and proper!
**[07:46] ---**
Everyone, everything, all gone!
**[07:48] ---**
Gone!
**[08:01] ---**
Let's go steal all their things!
**[08:06] ---**
Right!
**[08:14] ---**
Pearls don't suit you! Look in a mirror!
**[08:25] ---**
Luka! It's about time we went home.
**[08:30] ---**
Luka?
**[08:34] ---**
*It's darkness.*
**[08:37] ---**
*Darkness without a single
beam of moonlight...*
**[08:44] ---**
Luka!
**[08:46] ---**
So there you are!
**[08:47] ---**
I called you over and over.
**[08:54] ---**
Wh-What's wrong with you?
Don't tell me you're...
**[08:56] ---**
Are you dead?
**[09:00] ---**
No... No!
**[09:04] ---**
Don't leave me alone! Please!
**[09:14] ---**
Oho, so that's today's...
**[09:17] ---**
That's Her Majesty's spider for you.
**[09:19] ---**
Even his table manners are a spider's, eh?
**[09:22] ---**
Poor things, caught in the spider's web...
**[09:25] ---**
He'll drain them of every
last drop of their purity.
**[09:29] ---**
What a terrible thing...
**[09:32] ---**
Next!
**[09:38] ---**
Next!
**[09:58] ---**
Your eyes are filthy!
**[10:00] ---**
They're the color of the rust on a
drainpipe after years of dirty water!
**[10:08] ---**
Next!
**[10:20] ---**
See, there are these fairies.
**[10:23] ---**
And when you make a pact with
them, they'll grant you any wish!
**[10:28] ---**
Cut it out!
**[10:30] ---**
I heard the adults saying
we'd be eaten by that old man!
**[10:35] ---**
But...
**[10:38] ---**
How do you do it?
**[10:42] ---**
*A spider's web heavy with morning dew.*
**[10:50] ---**
*It's a veil that hides your true face.*
**[10:58] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[11:08] ---**
Stupid bedtime story.
**[11:13] ---**
Snow...?
**[11:17] ---**
Ash...
**[11:37] ---**
What is your wish?
**[11:39] ---**
My... wish...
**[11:43] ---**
You called on me without a wish?
**[11:46] ---**
Is there anyone you'd like
to get even with, for example?
**[11:49] ---**
I hate the villagers.
**[11:53] ---**
But they all died.
**[11:55] ---**
I don't care about that old pervert.
**[11:57] ---**
I'll escape.
**[11:58] ---**
No, I don't have anywhere
to go back to. Not anyplace.
**[12:02] ---**
So you have no business with me?
**[12:05] ---**
I do!
**[12:07] ---**
What is your business, then?
**[12:11] ---**
Inconsistency.
**[12:15] ---**
Very well.
**[12:28] ---**
If you discover your wish,
I shall make a contract with you.
**[12:35] ---**
Wait! Are you a fairy?
**[12:39] ---**
I am a demon.
**[12:50] ---**
A demon...
**[13:03] ---**
*To find a wish.*
**[13:07] ---**
*That became what I'd never
had before: a purpose in life.*
**[13:14] ---**
You say another of my dolls has broken?!
**[13:16] ---**
Yes, my lord. Several more
have collapsed from infection...
**[13:20] ---**
They're so fragile!
**[13:22] ---**
Spread antiseptic
solution all over the room!
**[13:24] ---**
Soak everything in boiling water!
**[13:26] ---**
I beg your pardon, my lord.
I've prepared Jim for you today...
**[13:29] ---**
Jim? Do you mean to tell me
that filthy brat's all you've got?!
**[13:49] ---**
Y-You're...
**[13:51] ---**
him...?
**[13:58] ---**
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting...
**[14:01] ---**
...Father dearest.
**[14:07] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis.
**[14:09] ---**
Is he a demon too?
**[14:11] ---**
Yes. He wiped out your village
**[14:16] ---**
pursuant to a contract
with a certain person.
**[14:18] ---**
"A certain person"?
**[14:19] ---**
Sebastian has already eaten that soul.
**[14:22] ---**
A demon killed Luka...
**[14:28] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[14:31] ---**
He is the party to
Sebastian's new contract.
**[14:36] ---**
Sebastian has a singular
obsession with his soul.
**[14:40] ---**
One fiercer than he should
by rights feel for his prey.
**[14:44] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[14:49] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[14:57] ---**
Make Ciel Phantomhive mine.
**[15:03] ---**
Master.
**[15:08] ---**
Father!
**[15:11] ---**
Father!
**[15:16] ---**
Master, I've freed the
boys according to your orders.
**[15:19] ---**
I've also settled the
matter of the inheritance.
**[15:21] ---**
More importantly,
what of Ciel Phantomhive?
**[15:25] ---**
I have one question, if I may.
**[15:28] ---**
Why do you wish to
possess Ciel Phantomhive,
**[15:31] ---**
instead of to kill Sebastian?
**[15:34] ---**
Simply killing him isn't enough.
**[15:37] ---**
Peacefully rotting into a skeleton
in his nice warm bed of earth...
**[15:42] ---**
That's no good.
**[15:44] ---**
We'll make him suffer
an agony worse than death.
**[15:47] ---**
And to do that...
**[15:50] ---**
We'll use this "young master Ciel"
he fancies oh so much.
**[15:55] ---**
Magnificent.
**[15:57] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive is mine.
**[16:00] ---**
And so are you, Claude.
**[16:04] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[16:22] ---**
Hello!
**[16:25] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:26] ---**
Oh, I have no interest in babes in arms.
**[16:29] ---**
I'm going to tidy this up quickly.
**[16:32] ---**
Let's see... "Jim Macken":
that's your real name.
**[16:35] ---**
What a dreary name for our
protagonist. Well, no matter.
**[16:39] ---**
After all, you're at death's grim door!☆
**[16:43] ---**
Now, I wouldn't leave
the office just for that,
**[16:47] ---**
but you see, there's a teeny
bit of an issue with your soul...
**[16:54] ---**
I don't like the look of this.
**[16:59] ---**
Ugh, I knew it was a demon.
**[17:01] ---**
I suppose you're not just a pretty face!
**[17:04] ---**
Where did you pick up
something so dangerous?
**[17:05] ---**
Kill Ginger here, Hannah!
**[17:08] ---**
You're a hot-blooded
little nipper, aren't you?
**[17:11] ---**
I'm not looking to fight;
I just want to peacefully--
**[17:24] ---**
I'd better be paid extra for this.
**[17:33] ---**
Claude...
**[17:37] ---**
Don't look at me!
**[17:38] ---**
You lot make me sick!
**[17:40] ---**
You demon! You're just like him!
**[17:43] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[17:46] ---**
Don't say that!
**[17:54] ---**
*With cold tears filling your eyes*
**[17:54] ---**
"Yes, Your Highness"...
**[17:57] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[17:59] ---**
"Yes, Your Highness"...
**[17:59] ---**
*When the time is ripe*
**[18:02] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[18:05] ---**
*You shall cut through the
darkness in search of the light*
**[18:05] ---**
I changed my mind. Say it. Say it!
**[18:11] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[18:16] ---**
*A rose madder song stains your heart*
**[18:26] ---**
*Like the melody that dies too
eagerly, longing for eternity*
**[18:29] ---**
Why would you go that far to obey me?
**[18:31] ---**
What are you, livestock? Are you a pig?!
**[18:35] ---**
I intend to make one hell of a
feast out of you. That's all.
**[18:40] ---**
*In the stillness of the
twinkling sky lies my garden*
**[18:41] ---**
Then look at me like *that*!
**[18:44] ---**
Not the way I'd look at
the villagers' vomit...
**[18:51] ---**
Not the craving, depraved way that
old man looked at me, either.
**[18:51] ---**
*One day you will arrive*
**[18:56] ---**
Look at me the way you did that
day, like I'm all you care about...
**[18:56] ---**
*Beyond the shoreline*
**[19:00] ---**
Claude!
**[19:01] ---**
Passion into composure,
hesitation into resolve,
**[19:05] ---**
and love into grave markers.
**[19:07] ---**
That's what makes a Trancy butler.
**[19:10] ---**
He's simply hungry. I know that.
**[19:15] ---**
My feelings are nothing but a
badly-made sauce that clouds the flavor.
**[19:21] ---**
But now I...
**[19:41] ---**
A dowdy little maid like you
shouldn't go causing me trouble!
**[19:49] ---**
What are you
attempting to do, Master?
**[19:56] ---**
You haven't obtained
Ciel Phantomhive yet.
**[20:03] ---**
You're all I have.
**[20:07] ---**
Don't be ridiculous, Master.
**[20:10] ---**
Shut your trap... Shut your trap!
**[20:14] ---**
You're the only one in my world now!
**[20:20] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel!
**[20:22] ---**
Don't leave my side! Never, Claude!
**[20:27] ---**
You're...
**[20:29] ---**
*You* are my Highness!
**[20:43] ---**
What a thing to say to a mere butler.
**[20:59] ---**
Not to worry, Master.
**[21:03] ---**
A crude little soul who
gives his love to a butler...
**[21:08] ---**
I could hardly work up
any appetite for *that*.
**[21:10] ---**
I'll keep you always with me.
**[21:14] ---**
I have a use for your soul.
**[21:18] ---**
I see, so that's the story.
**[21:22] ---**
That boy was slated to die tonight,
but it wasn't affecting the soul ledgers.
**[21:27] ---**
I did assume a demon was involved, but...
**[21:31] ---**
Will you steal him, grim reaper?
**[21:33] ---**
All that matters to me is that
our spiritual accounts balance.
**[21:36] ---**
I will watch how this plays out, though.
**[21:39] ---**
I think it'll be interesting.
**[21:42] ---**
You're not on Sebastian's side, then?
**[21:45] ---**
"On his side"? Don't insult
me with such hackneyed phrases.
**[21:49] ---**
The highest form of love
will always be a death match!☆
**[22:00] ---**
*With cold tears filling your eyes*
**[22:05] ---**
*When the time is ripe*
**[22:11] ---**
*You shall cut through the
darkness in search of the light*
**[22:22] ---**
*Farewell*
**[22:24] ---**
*Because you and I can never meet again*
**[22:33] ---**
*I am adoring, I am distraught*
**[22:38] ---**
*As though the night pierces
straight through my heart*
**[22:46] ---**
*In the stillness of the
twinkling sky lies your house*
**[22:57] ---**
*Past the darkness where the moon sets*
**[23:03] ---**
*Is the narrow road*
**[23:15] ---**
*Back to the source*
**[23:28] ---**
*I know it will!*
**[23:30] ---**
*Yeah! You're terrific, so
you'll get a terrific lot of wishes!*
**[23:42] ---**
My lord,
**[23:45] ---**
your wish is...
**[24:05] ---**
*How did you like your first time
plunging a blade into human flesh?*
**[24:10] ---**
*Dear me, it's not like you to
be so indecisive, young master.*
**[24:15] ---**
*You know, if your heart
shows the slightest weakness,*
**[24:18] ---**
*a demon will take advantage.*
**[24:21] ---**
*Next time: "Hollow Butler."*
**[24:24] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler whose daily
fluid intake isn't at least two liters*
**[24:27] ---**
*isn't worth his salt.*

**[00:10] ---**
My fellows of the deep, beloved darkness...
**[00:14] ---**
Here, I have...
**[00:21] ---**
...Alois Trancy's soul.
**[00:26] ---**
And what am I doing with it?
**[00:32] ---**
Close!
**[00:36] ---**
Wide of the mark.
**[00:41] ---**
Hannah.
**[00:43] ---**
The décor has changed.
**[00:50] ---**
Right on the mark!
**[00:54] ---**
I've changed the manor's navy
color scheme to midnight blue.
**[00:59] ---**
A subtle difference that
only a select few will notice.
**[01:07] ---**
Though their souls may
be fundamentally different,
**[01:10] ---**
they have one thing in common:
the pasts that color them.
**[01:16] ---**
And that...
**[01:18] ---**
...is useful.
**[01:24] ---**
I see, so that's their move.
**[01:35] ---**
Can't you sleep, my lord?
**[01:38] ---**
Sebastian.
**[01:40] ---**
It's not that...
**[01:42] ---**
I suppose a killing doesn't
play out like one imagines.
**[01:49] ---**
I thought he'd die easily,
**[01:52] ---**
but it's quite difficult to kill like you,
**[01:54] ---**
without hesitation or honor.
**[01:57] ---**
I'll take that as a compliment.
**[02:05] ---**
I can't sleep. Tell me a story.
**[02:07] ---**
In that case...
**[02:10] ---**
I'll read you a message
from Her Majesty the Queen.
**[02:18] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[02:26] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[02:33] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[02:41] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[02:44] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[02:51] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[02:57] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[03:05] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[03:12] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[03:20] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[03:28] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[03:36] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[03:46] ---**
"Hollow Butler"
**[04:03] ---**
Recently there's been a spate
of eye-gouging in the London area.
**[04:10] ---**
Though the victims aren't all of the
same class, they are all young boys.
**[04:15] ---**
A perverse business.
**[04:20] ---**
You don't understand anything!
You're just being tricked by a demon!
**[04:26] ---**
You and I are the same!
**[04:30] ---**
What is it?
**[04:33] ---**
Nothing.
**[04:40] ---**
I dunno!
**[04:42] ---**
He just up an' stuck his
fingers into my eyes,
**[04:45] ---**
and everythin' went red.
**[04:47] ---**
Now I can't see nothin'. Nothin'...
**[04:50] ---**
What was the criminal like?
**[04:52] ---**
He was a kid.
**[04:54] ---**
About the same age as me,
but he looked plenty rich.
**[04:58] ---**
A kid?
**[04:59] ---**
That bloody bastard!
**[05:05] ---**
Sebastian.
**[05:06] ---**
Yes.
**[05:14] ---**
*A demon has devoted time and effort*
**[05:17] ---**
*to building up that soul stitch by stitch.*
**[05:20] ---**
*If I'm to steal it, it's only
proper that I do so respectfully,*
**[05:25] ---**
*stitch by stitch.*
**[05:29] ---**
We've obtained several
witness reports now.
**[05:32] ---**
They all point to a
boy dressed like a noble.
**[05:37] ---**
He mocks me.
**[05:39] ---**
My lord?
**[05:41] ---**
Look.
**[05:43] ---**
I'll draw a line between the
Phantomhive and Trancy estates.
**[05:46] ---**
Now, if I connect the
scenes of the crimes...
**[05:50] ---**
A spider web.
**[05:52] ---**
He's behind this.
**[05:54] ---**
It may be that his butler is
acting alone, young master.
**[05:58] ---**
So he survived? He's
persistent, I'll give him that.
**[06:03] ---**
Young master...
**[06:04] ---**
I see...
**[06:07] ---**
so he survived...
**[06:12] ---**
A butler answers his master's
questions reliably and truthfully.
**[06:17] ---**
Am I right?
**[06:18] ---**
Quite right.
**[06:20] ---**
You aren't hiding anything
from me about Alois, are you?
**[06:25] ---**
No, nothing about Alois.
**[06:27] ---**
Then my--
**[06:31] ---**
The spider butler?
**[06:33] ---**
No, this is...
**[06:39] ---**
Stay here, young master.
**[06:42] ---**
It smells.
**[06:43] ---**
Please bear with it for a bit.
**[06:45] ---**
You mustn't take one step out
of this box, do you understand?
**[06:54] ---**
*Ah, yes... First they lure us
out with orders from the Queen,*
**[06:59] ---**
*and then for their
next chess move, they use*
**[07:01] ---**
*the ones sure to act whenever
there's a soul-related problem.*
**[07:11] ---**
Grim Reapers.
**[07:24] ---**
Ugh!
**[07:26] ---**
Come on, give me a break...
**[07:31] ---**
It's totally busted...
**[07:34] ---**
I don't believe we've met.
**[07:36] ---**
Yeah, hi.
**[07:39] ---**
The next *diehard* grim
reaper is Ronald Knox!☆
**[07:46] ---**
Yeah, that's just so wrong.
**[07:49] ---**
Senior Sutcliff said
I needed a catch phrase,
**[07:53] ---**
so I had a girl from the General
Affairs department think one up...
**[07:56] ---**
Please don't worry about it.
**[07:58] ---**
Today that catch phrase
will end along with you.
**[08:02] ---**
I assume your bureau is acting
because of strange soul movements?
**[08:08] ---**
Perhaps the soul of a
deceased called Alois Trancy
**[08:12] ---**
has proven unrecoverable, for instance?
**[08:14] ---**
Indeed!
**[08:18] ---**
I might have known you'd be
involved, Sebastian Michaelis.
**[08:29] ---**
*It's this feeling again.*
**[08:32] ---**
*I was trapped someplace
like this for a long time...*
**[08:37] ---**
*I know I've forgotten something.*
**[08:40] ---**
*But I can't remember it.*
**[08:43] ---**
*Alois and Sebastian
know what it is; I can feel it.*
**[08:49] ---**
*Only I've forgotten.*
**[08:54] ---**
*What is this?!*
**[09:10] ---**
You and I are the same!
**[09:12] ---**
Sod off! I'm nothing like you, you vile--
**[09:17] ---**
You mustn't take one step out of this box.
**[09:22] ---**
Sod off...
**[09:26] ---**
Don't *you* order *me* around!
**[09:31] ---**
Kids should go play at home!
**[09:33] ---**
You're a kid too!
**[09:35] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:37] ---**
For crying out loud...
**[09:38] ---**
Thanks to Grell Sutcliff,
I have to work overtime again!
**[09:43] ---**
*I was right; Alois Trancy is dead.*
**[09:46] ---**
*Which means his goal is...*
**[09:48] ---**
*The spider's thread twining
around a snow-white soul...*
**[09:53] ---**
*Chain it to form one row, a second row...*
**[09:56] ---**
*...and after the turn, a third.*
**[10:02] ---**
*Where are you, Sebastian? I'm coming too!*
**[10:04] ---**
*I'll see everything with my own eyes!*
**[10:08] ---**
Alois...
**[10:18] ---**
*Your mocking never ends.*
**[10:20] ---**
Stop!
**[10:24] ---**
That's as far as you go, Alois Tran--
**[10:26] ---**
Found you, Alois Trancy!
**[10:30] ---**
Bloody nuisances...
**[10:32] ---**
You're from the Yard?
Go after him! He's getting aw--
**[10:37] ---**
Don't try to fight us, Alois Trancy!
**[10:40] ---**
You think I'm Alois?
Get it straight! He's right--
**[10:46] ---**
Take him in.
**[10:47] ---**
Let me go this instant!
**[10:50] ---**
Who are you people?!
**[10:55] ---**
You're from the Trancy estate...
**[10:57] ---**
You're quite sure?
**[10:59] ---**
Yes. This is my master. Alois, Earl Trancy.
**[11:05] ---**
What?!
**[11:06] ---**
He appears extremely confused...
**[11:10] ---**
My lord was repeatedly
abused by his late father.
**[11:17] ---**
I'm sorry to say that it affected his mind.
**[11:22] ---**
He hates the mark carved into
his eye by the previous Earl Trancy,
**[11:27] ---**
and when he sees a boy who resembles him,
**[11:30] ---**
that hatred manifests itself.
**[11:33] ---**
And it tells him, "Gouge. Gouge."
**[11:41] ---**
He took my eye as well.
**[11:44] ---**
How dare you!
**[11:46] ---**
His eye is the best proof.
**[11:49] ---**
Take off the patch.
**[11:51] ---**
Stop it!
**[11:55] ---**
Y-You're wrong... It's a
sign of Sebastian's and my...
**[12:00] ---**
My master is a victim as well.
**[12:02] ---**
I beg you'll show him mercy.
**[12:05] ---**
Take him in!
**[12:07] ---**
Stop this! Let me go!
**[12:13] ---**
Sebastian!
**[12:21] ---**
All right!
**[12:24] ---**
Now, let's get this over with!
You can bet *I'm* not working overtime.
**[12:34] ---**
Even I'm at a disadvantage
against two reapers.
**[12:36] ---**
Ronald Knox, do you intend to fell
me with your death scythe as well?
**[12:42] ---**
Oh, did I cross the line?
**[12:44] ---**
Sorry, I'm at that mischievous age.
**[12:47] ---**
A grim reaper must judge
situations swiftly and accurately.
**[12:51] ---**
Are those spectacles just for show?
**[12:59] ---**
Sir, he's getting away.
**[13:00] ---**
My spectacles...
**[13:02] ---**
My spectacles... my spectacles!
**[13:05] ---**
Shouldn't we stop him before he's gone?
**[13:07] ---**
Failure to understand the
importance of a reaper's spectacles
**[13:11] ---**
is grounds for a pay cut!
**[13:15] ---**
Er... I don't even know where to begin.
**[13:21] ---**
Done.
**[13:23] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive...
**[13:26] ---**
I'll pierce your soft skin with my hook...
**[13:39] ---**
...and suck out your
delectable soul at my leisure.
**[14:03] ---**
Why don't you start
by telling me your name?
**[14:07] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[14:09] ---**
Really, treating a noble like this?
Have you the proper permission?
**[14:17] ---**
The Queen! Contact the Queen!
**[14:20] ---**
Yes, or even Sir Arthur!
**[14:22] ---**
All I've said can be easily--
**[14:27] ---**
He's quite far gone.
**[14:30] ---**
Give him the special treatment.
**[14:59] ---**
*Everything is receding...*
**[15:05] ---**
*Everything is...*
**[15:25] ---**
I apologize for not sending
someone to fetch you, Sebastian.
**[15:30] ---**
No need. Your invitation
was easy enough to understand.
**[15:34] ---**
This is the exact center of the
web you laid with these attacks.
**[15:46] ---**
I am... Ciel... Phantomhive...
**[15:52] ---**
The Queen's...
**[15:54] ---**
the Queen's...
**[15:56] ---**
guard dog.
**[15:58] ---**
I lost my... father and mother...
**[16:02] ---**
How did you lose them?
**[16:04] ---**
The mansion... burned...
**[16:06] ---**
Yes. It burned.
**[16:10] ---**
The village you grew up in burned.
**[16:12] ---**
I ran down the corridor...
**[16:15] ---**
Yes. You ran down the path
on the outskirts of the village.
**[16:31] ---**
You ran, and then you found...
**[16:35] ---**
I found... my dead father and mother...
**[16:40] ---**
Yes. You found your dead brother.
**[16:46] ---**
Brother?
**[16:48] ---**
You found him. And then what?
**[16:51] ---**
The old men took me...
**[16:55] ---**
Yes. The old man took you and...
**[17:06] ---**
Humiliated me...
**[17:09] ---**
The Earl Trancy did.
**[17:15] ---**
Tran...
**[17:19] ---**
cy...
**[17:24] ---**
Yes.
**[17:35] ---**
The sheath that holds a demon's sword...
**[17:44] ---**
Why would someone so
powerful be obeying Claude?
**[17:49] ---**
Claude...
**[17:56] ---**
We have a contract.
Even if he's taken from me,
**[18:00] ---**
he is still my young master.
**[18:02] ---**
None of you can ever
so much as taste his soul.
**[18:07] ---**
Navy and... midnight blue...
**[18:11] ---**
Two very similar memories...
**[18:15] ---**
True, none of us can
so much as taste him.
**[18:20] ---**
Not while he's still
entirely your young master.
**[18:25] ---**
I made a contract with Sebastian.
**[18:30] ---**
Someone made a contract with Sebastian,
**[18:34] ---**
and he started a fire.
**[18:36] ---**
A fire...
**[18:38] ---**
Yes. Sebastian made a contract
with your younger brother Luka,
**[18:43] ---**
and burned your village to the ground.
**[18:45] ---**
Luka... village...?
**[18:48] ---**
Yes.
**[18:49] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis entered
into a contract with Luka,
**[18:54] ---**
and you lost your only living relative.
**[19:02] ---**
Relative...
**[19:24] ---**
Young master!
**[19:32] ---**
Young master...
**[19:33] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[19:37] ---**
Young master.
**[19:41] ---**
So *you* were the one
who killed my parents,
**[19:45] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis?!
**[19:51] ---**
I didn't predict you mixing their memories.
**[19:55] ---**
A ploy that would cloud the
soul's taste never occurred to me.
**[20:01] ---**
He's soaked through...
**[20:03] ---**
Did you dip him in a medicine to confuse him?
**[20:09] ---**
Should I answer that, Master?
**[20:14] ---**
No need.
**[20:24] ---**
I know.
**[20:34] ---**
This is an order: get out of my sight!
**[20:46] ---**
To a butler, the master's
orders are absolute.
**[21:06] ---**
Master.
**[21:08] ---**
I'm... tired...
**[21:10] ---**
Of course.
**[21:11] ---**
I want to sleep...
**[21:19] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[21:25] ---**
I took a shamefully long
time to prepare dinner.
**[21:31] ---**
And now look what's happened.
**[21:39] ---**
Delaying dinner is
absolutely not allowed.
**[21:42] ---**
However, first...
**[21:44] ---**
As butler to the Phantomhives,
**[21:48] ---**
I must clear away the spider webs.
**[21:51] ---**
That's plain.
**[22:00] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[22:07] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[22:14] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[22:20] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[22:27] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[22:34] ---**
*I mourn that I can't go in search*
**[22:41] ---**
*Of that blue sky I once saw*
**[22:48] ---**
*But everyone is in the sky*
**[22:55] ---**
*In the cage of freedom*
**[23:02] ---**
*In a starless night sky*
**[23:09] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[23:23] ---**
Welcome home.
**[23:34] ---**
Golden into navy,
**[23:37] ---**
navy into midnight blue, and...
**[23:41] ---**
Alois Trancy into Ciel Phantomhive.
**[23:45] ---**
That's what makes one hell of a butler.
**[23:51] ---**
Draw him a hot bath.
**[23:53] ---**
Of course.
**[23:54] ---**
He'll catch cold like this.
Hot water will warm up our master--
**[23:58] ---**
--no, our *young* master--
**[24:01] ---**
--all the faster.
**[24:04] ---**
*In the end, the target for revenge
that Ciel Phantomhive sought*
**[24:08] ---**
*was Sebastian Michaelis.*
**[24:11] ---**
*I see. That's rather amusing, really.*
**[24:22] ---**
*Next time: "Zero Butler."*
**[24:25] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler...*

**[00:18] ---**
Good morning, young master.
**[00:26] ---**
This aroma... Earl Grey?
**[00:29] ---**
Yes. This morning's tea is a
Mariage Frères Earl Grey Impérial.
**[00:36] ---**
It's a masterpiece of the highest
order, made of only the finest leaves.
**[00:42] ---**
I believe it's perfect for you.
**[00:49] ---**
Today's schedule is a
fresh field of virgin snow
**[00:53] ---**
which no one shall be trampling on.
**[00:55] ---**
Everything shall go exactly
as you wish it, young master.
**[00:59] ---**
Where is Alois?
**[01:00] ---**
Whatever do you mean by that?
Alois Trancy was felled by your sword.
**[01:06] ---**
Mine?
**[01:07] ---**
Does it pain you, young master?
**[01:09] ---**
He died because he was weak, that's all.
**[01:14] ---**
*Oh, the beauty of such
an unwavering assertion!*
**[01:19] ---**
*Here is the nobility and tyranny
of one who has subjugated others*
**[01:22] ---**
*all his life by right of birth.*
**[01:28] ---**
*Here are the legs of one who
rarely walks on his own power,*
**[01:30] ---**
*so slender they could hardly be steady.*
**[01:33] ---**
*Smooth, soft skin...*
**[01:36] ---**
Bliss.
**[01:44] ---**
What was that?
**[01:46] ---**
Surely nothing serious. A cat, perhaps?
**[01:48] ---**
That was too loud to be a cat.
**[01:50] ---**
Strengthen this mansion's defenses!
**[01:53] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[01:59] ---**
Don't be revolting!
**[02:02] ---**
Another wave of bliss!
**[02:11] ---**
Really, now.
**[02:12] ---**
I'll go have a look. Hannah!
Guard the young master.
**[02:17] ---**
Of course.
**[02:27] ---**
It seems a storm has come.
**[02:32] ---**
Have no fear, little bird.
**[02:35] ---**
The young master told *it
*to stay out of his sight.
**[02:38] ---**
There's nothing *it* can do.
**[02:45] ---**
Sweetbriars, eh?
**[02:48] ---**
Little bird, don't you
think a pretty flower like this
**[02:51] ---**
is sure to suit the young master?
**[02:54] ---**
Yes, it would suit *my young master*.
**[03:07] ---**
Oh, it's too much!
**[03:09] ---**
He's just too delicious!
**[03:13] ---**
This lovelorn Sebas-*chan* drives me *wild*!
**[03:18] ---**
I'm so glad I let that "Claude" demon go.
**[03:22] ---**
Just look at this *gem* of a photo!
**[03:26] ---**
Oh, no, what's this?! Not now, not *now*!
**[03:34] ---**
Sebas-*chan*! When did you get here?!
**[03:36] ---**
I might ask you the same thing.
**[03:39] ---**
C-Can I take one more?
**[03:42] ---**
Mm, very photogenic--ah!
**[03:49] ---**
*Tatoe owaru koto no nai

**[05:18] ---**
"Zero Butler"
**[05:33] ---**
Er...
**[05:35] ---**
Seeing you making tea just for me...
**[05:40] ---**
I'm happy, of course! Truly! But, um...
**[05:45] ---**
This is Suutei Tsai, a Mongolian
milk tea flavored with rock salt.
**[05:49] ---**
Rock salt?!
**[05:50] ---**
I'm sure it will be wonderfully stimulating
**[05:53] ---**
to feel the sting of the
salt in your fresh wounds.
**[05:55] ---**
Just for you, I've doubled
the amount in the recipe.
**[05:59] ---**
And then doubled it again.
**[06:02] ---**
On second thought, I...
**[06:04] ---**
Drink up.
**[06:11] ---**
Th-The stimulation of
love is just too exquisite!
**[06:19] ---**
I see, so Claude murdered
Alois Trancy there.
**[06:24] ---**
Yes. His next idea was
a soul-infusing ceremony.
**[06:29] ---**
Two souls can never completely fuse.
**[06:32] ---**
But memories can be overwritten!
**[06:35] ---**
Then right now, Alois Trancy is...
**[06:37] ---**
He's the same as your young master.
**[06:40] ---**
He's been turned into a ring.
**[06:42] ---**
Darker than blood, and
more crimson than passion.
**[06:48] ---**
At any rate, I can't understand it.
**[06:51] ---**
Why be so fixated on some brat's soul?
**[06:54] ---**
Why not make a quicker, simpler meal?
**[07:00] ---**
You sound like someone else I know.
**[07:02] ---**
I imagine that demon's slack, fatuous face
**[07:07] ---**
will give you your answer.
**[07:14] ---**
*Perfectly uniform, close-fitting teeth*
**[07:17] ---**
*like a row of fresh young skulls...*
**[07:19] ---**
*Close-fitting, tight, enchanting.*
**[07:26] ---**
Don't gag me!
**[07:27] ---**
My apologies, my lord, I got carried away.
**[07:30] ---**
You're such a poor excuse for a butler!
Sebastian would never make such a--
**[07:38] ---**
Your contract with that demon chains you
**[07:42] ---**
and ever so slightly dulls
the snow-white of your canines.
**[07:47] ---**
The enemy you have long
sought is called Sebastian Michaelis.
**[07:52] ---**
I know.
**[07:54] ---**
Unloose your fetters
and sign a contract with me.
**[07:57] ---**
Then we shall get revenge on that demon--
**[08:00] ---**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm only here because I don't want
to go back to that wretched manor.
**[08:08] ---**
I can get my revenge on
Sebastian without *you* helping--
**[08:11] ---**
Can you?
**[08:13] ---**
You're up against a demon.
**[08:17] ---**
You needn't give your answer right away.
**[08:23] ---**
In this mansion, even time itself
is tangled up in the spider's web.
**[08:38] ---**
*He is so proud... A truly reckless,
truly defenseless soul.*
**[08:48] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive's soul is a fine one.
**[08:52] ---**
*A truly fine one*!
**[09:00] ---**
S-Sebas-*chan*...
**[09:02] ---**
Let's go, Grell.
**[09:04] ---**
Oh, so sorry, I have an
appointment with my hairdresser--
**[09:13] ---**
D-Dreamy!
**[09:16] ---**
Ah! Camera, camera... Now, pose!
**[09:19] ---**
I plan to strike approximately
eight more attractive poses today.
**[09:25] ---**
I can't pass this up! I'm on
fire for the attractive poses!
**[09:33] ---**
Thompson and company.
**[09:37] ---**
You three get that demon.
**[09:45] ---**
*I don't understand it.*
**[09:50] ---**
*Why does that man call me "young master"?*
**[09:54] ---**
*Is Alois really dead?*
**[09:57] ---**
*Did I really kill him?*
**[10:00] ---**
*Why would Sebastian...?*
**[10:14] ---**
Young master!
**[10:19] ---**
It's all right, my lord. Please thrash me.
**[10:23] ---**
As many times as you like,
if that will relieve your feelings.
**[10:28] ---**
What are you saying?!
**[10:30] ---**
Your eye...
**[10:32] ---**
Honestly, this manor is filled with freaks!
**[10:43] ---**
Are you planning to take a nap there?
**[11:13] ---**
Here...
**[11:16] ---**
Ugh, what is this gloom?
**[11:19] ---**
But it's not bad! Sebas-*chan
*nude among the ruins... not bad!
**[11:23] ---**
In fact--
**[11:26] ---**
Care for a taste, guv?
**[11:31] ---**
Just fooling. It's been far
too long, I can't manage it.
**[11:35] ---**
Got cobwebs down there.
**[11:39] ---**
Welcome to the cursed
village of Arachnophile.
**[11:44] ---**
I thought this place had
been burned completely away.
**[11:47] ---**
What are you doing alive?
**[11:49] ---**
Yes, I'm the only one who was saved...
**[11:53] ---**
By a demon.
**[11:59] ---**
He's filthy!
**[12:00] ---**
Try kicking him here!
**[12:05] ---**
You shouldn't bully the weak!
**[12:07] ---**
Ugh, it's the ugly slut who
tricks people with makeup!
**[12:08] ---**
She stinks!
**[12:09] ---**
Shut it, you! For goodness' sake...
**[12:15] ---**
I'm not weak.
**[12:19] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
That's right, you're tough!
**[12:24] ---**
You look good out there, kid.
**[12:25] ---**
Yeah! After all, I promised my brother!
**[12:29] ---**
I won't lose to them!
**[12:32] ---**
Everyone, everything, all gone!
Everyone, everything, all gone!
**[12:37] ---**
But I'll give you a free ticket, lady!
**[12:42] ---**
Everyone minus one!
**[12:44] ---**
What?
**[12:45] ---**
I made a contract!
**[12:48] ---**
With a demon.
**[12:49] ---**
That boy told me he'd
signed a contract with a demon
**[12:53] ---**
to make his beloved big
brother's wish come true.
**[12:56] ---**
In exchange for his
own soul, you know?
**[12:59] ---**
At first, I thought it was
just some children's story.
**[13:03] ---**
But...
**[13:14] ---**
That day, everything
he said came true.
**[13:28] ---**
I was the only one who survived,
and I've managed on my own somehow...
**[13:34] ---**
But that's all over now, too--
**[13:44] ---**
Here we go.
**[13:46] ---**
What?
**[13:50] ---**
Oh, no, I let the second
handsome pose go to waste!
**[13:55] ---**
I swear I'll get the next one!
**[14:03] ---**
Ah, things are heating up nicely!
**[14:07] ---**
Those spry limbs!
**[14:10] ---**
Oh, he dodged! Look out, darling!
**[14:13] ---**
Look at that cruel gaze!
**[14:16] ---**
Those ankles peeking out from
under the cuffs of his trousers!
**[14:21] ---**
He's simply tossing out
the poses right and left!
**[14:28] ---**
Drat, it's over already?
**[14:31] ---**
Now, Grell. The death scythe.
**[14:33] ---**
Hmm? Why don't you
just finish them off?
**[14:37] ---**
Please.
**[14:38] ---**
What?
**[14:39] ---**
Oh, Sebas-*chan*, you always do this...
**[14:44] ---**
What a hot day it is.
**[15:14] ---**
Well, what do you know?
So that's what happened.
**[15:17] ---**
There's just no accounting for demons.
**[15:20] ---**
It's essentially what I'd expected.
**[15:22] ---**
It is?
**[15:24] ---**
However...
**[15:35] ---**
*That*, I did not expect.
**[15:39] ---**
S-Sebas-*chan*, you're
demon-ing! You're demon-ing!
**[15:43] ---**
That will do.
**[15:46] ---**
I'll use the spiders'
threads you fancy so much.
**[15:54] ---**
Grotesque...
**[15:56] ---**
I can't stand for people putting
their grubby fingers all over my dinner.
**[16:00] ---**
Sebas-*chan*, wait!
**[16:02] ---**
You still have two handsome poses left!
**[16:09] ---**
He's fast.
**[16:11] ---**
Young master.
**[16:15] ---**
What's the matter?
**[16:17] ---**
I thought I saw Alois in the mirror.
**[16:21] ---**
Are you hurt, young master?
**[16:23] ---**
No.
**[16:25] ---**
Hannah! Clean this up.
**[16:27] ---**
I'll take the young master
to his bedchamber and--
**[16:29] ---**
You clean up here.
**[16:31] ---**
Young master...?
**[16:32] ---**
Come along, Hannah.
**[16:42] ---**
"Come along, Hannah"...
**[16:48] ---**
Young master...
**[16:49] ---**
What was that, I wonder?
**[16:53] ---**
I hate this mansion. I want to go home.
**[16:56] ---**
To the Phantomhive manor?
**[16:59] ---**
No, I want to go back to the way things were.
**[17:03] ---**
Your eye is such a strange color.
**[17:08] ---**
Nostalgic, somehow...
**[17:11] ---**
Young master.
**[17:15] ---**
Watch closely.
**[17:25] ---**
*What is this?!*
**[17:27] ---**
*I can... see myself...*
**[17:33] ---**
*I'm suffering.*
**[17:35] ---**
*I'm watching me?*
**[17:37] ---**
*Why?*
**[17:38] ---**
*Why… is that eye my...*
**[17:49] ---**
Yes. This is your eye...
**[17:54] ---**
...Master.
**[18:08] ---**
This is a surprise. Just when
I thought you were only spying on us,
**[18:11] ---**
you waltz through the front door.
**[18:13] ---**
The young master
ordered me out of his sight.
**[18:17] ---**
It's certainly no violation
if only you see me.
**[18:26] ---**
I came today to return this to you.
**[18:42] ---**
This is a surprise.
**[18:45] ---**
A demon, terminating a contract?
**[18:51] ---**
You broke it first.
**[18:54] ---**
We swore to defer our battle
over the young master's soul
**[18:59] ---**
until it attained its ultimate state
after he completed his revenge.
**[19:02] ---**
Our agreement was to
use each other until then.
**[19:08] ---**
These spider mites discolor the leaves.
**[19:14] ---**
I regret to say that my
black rose was infested.
**[19:25] ---**
Now both roses are dead.
**[19:28] ---**
The contract is terminated.
**[19:31] ---**
I aim to devour Ciel Phantomhive's soul.
**[19:37] ---**
But I no longer do it merely to sample
the "ultimate flavor" you speak of!
**[19:43] ---**
Yes, there's more to it than that.
**[19:46] ---**
Demons have eternal life.
**[19:49] ---**
We've grown weary of
living so long... far too long.
**[19:54] ---**
My young master's presence lends
spice to the world we're glutted on.
**[20:00] ---**
His soul dwells in darkness,
yet remains unstained by it.
**[20:04] ---**
It's vexed us, tantalized us,
driven us mad. And now...
**[20:08] ---**
To think it's even given us this
fight between demon and demon!
**[20:23] ---**
The young master is mine now.
**[20:26] ---**
You're awfully confident for someone
who hasn't signed a contract with him!
**[20:30] ---**
And once I manage that,
**[20:33] ---**
*I'll*never let go of him for a moment.
**[20:44] ---**
This weapon is a bit small to cut
off your seal and your arm with it--
**[20:50] ---**
but I'm sure I can twist the contract
between you, just as I did that day.
**[20:57] ---**
Sebastian!
**[21:01] ---**
Sebastian!
**[21:08] ---**
Sebastian!
**[21:09] ---**
Young master...
**[21:15] ---**
You're being summoned.
**[21:17] ---**
Which means he's noticed
you. You've been seen!
**[21:22] ---**
Disobedient little Sebastian
Michaelis, you're no longer a butler!
**[21:29] ---**
Sebastian, help me!
**[21:32] ---**
Help me, Sebastian!
**[21:36] ---**
If you don't, I'll climb all the way up!
**[21:39] ---**
I'll climb, and climb...
**[21:43] ---**
...and climb, Sebastian!
**[21:47] ---**
I'll climb this thing.
**[21:49] ---**
Straight to the top, Sebastian.
**[21:55] ---**
It would seem
I haven't broken orders yet.
**[22:01] ---**
That is not my young master.
**[22:03] ---**
No. That's...
**[22:05] ---**
My master, Alois Trancy.
**[22:13] ---**
Here I am.
**[22:18] ---**
I'll fall! I'll fall off, Sebastian!
**[22:27] ---**
I'll fall off of here!

**[00:06] ---**
I'll fall. I'll fall.
**[00:13] ---**
What is this? What happened?
**[00:16] ---**
What am I doing here...?
**[00:28] ---**
Sebastian?!
**[00:30] ---**
What can I do to convince you to
return my young master, as himself?
**[00:34] ---**
I could always--
**[00:36] ---**
If you kill me, the young master...
**[00:38] ---**
...will fall!
**[00:42] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive's body
now belongs to my master.
**[00:47] ---**
His soul, taken into Ciel Phantomhive,
**[00:52] ---**
was quietly, quietly
waiting for its time to awaken.
**[00:56] ---**
And then he took advantage of a
weakness in Ciel Phantomhive's heart
**[01:00] ---**
to steal his body using his own eye.
**[01:05] ---**
Our hands are tied as long as the
young master's body is his hostage.
**[01:09] ---**
I'll fall!
**[01:11] ---**
I'll fall off, Sebastian!
**[01:13] ---**
Your hands may be tied,
but your hearts aren't, are they?
**[01:20] ---**
I'm sending you both on a journey.
**[01:23] ---**
A journey?
**[01:24] ---**
To retrieve Ciel Phantomhive,
**[01:28] ---**
you'll journey through the
labyrinth of Alois Trancy's heart,
**[01:31] ---**
firmly etching the proof that he lived.
**[01:37] ---**
Collect the stamps hidden in
the garden? What a ridiculous idea.
**[01:45] ---**
Come on, then! Come to me, quickly!
**[01:48] ---**
Let's embrace until the end of the world!
**[01:51] ---**
There you have it.
**[01:52] ---**
The only thing I'll be embracing
is Ciel Phantomhive's soul.
**[01:57] ---**
How utterly distasteful.
**[02:07] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*°
**[02:15] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[02:22] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[02:30] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[02:33] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[02:40] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[02:46] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[02:54] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[03:01] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[03:09] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[03:17] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[03:25] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[03:34] ---**
*What?*
**[03:37] ---**
*I've been taken over by Alois?*
**[03:41] ---**
*I've taken in his memories...?*
**[03:43] ---**
*Memories?*
**[03:47] ---**
*My mansion burned...*
**[03:49] ---**
*No, is that a village burning...?*
**[03:53] ---**
*I don't know this village.*
**[03:56] ---**
*I was looking for my mother and father...*
**[04:10] ---**
*Who is this?*
**[04:12] ---**
*No... this memory is...*
**[04:15] ---**
*...not mine.*
**[04:19] ---**
"Crossroads Butler"
**[04:26] ---**
What's this?
**[04:33] ---**
"Question: What is
Alois Trancy's real name?"
**[04:39] ---**
As I recall, Alois Trancy's
real name is "Jim Macken."
**[04:47] ---**
Ah. I didn't expect the enchanted
rose garden designed to repel intruders
**[04:52] ---**
to work against me.
**[04:55] ---**
"Alois Trancy" is his real name.
**[05:07] ---**
Why? I thought that name was given
to him by the previous Earl Trancy,
**[05:11] ---**
the man who defiled him.
**[05:13] ---**
Still, he was quite taken
with the sound of his new name.
**[05:20] ---**
The only truth here is the one
determined by Alois Trancy, I take it.
**[05:36] ---**
I'll be going, then.
**[05:44] ---**
Yes! Dig deeper into his flesh!
I love that anguished expression!
**[05:49] ---**
He's like a martyr to love!
**[05:54] ---**
Oh, so hot...
**[05:56] ---**
Er...
**[05:58] ---**
Um, just one shot?
**[06:03] ---**
You're a grim fellow.☆
**[06:11] ---**
You're dead right.☆
**[06:13] ---**
"Question: What is
Alois Trancy's favorite food?"
**[06:18] ---**
Greasy fish and chips.
**[06:25] ---**
What meaning can this possibly have?
**[06:30] ---**
Brilliant. Brilliant!
**[06:32] ---**
Look how well Claude knows me!
**[06:36] ---**
He knows all of me, even the
tenderest parts deep down inside!
**[06:44] ---**
Master, I think you should stop...
**[06:47] ---**
Worried about this body?
**[06:49] ---**
So you like Ciel Phantomhive
better than me, too?!
**[06:56] ---**
What does he have that I don't?!
**[06:59] ---**
Answer me! Answer me, Hannah!
**[07:05] ---**
"Question: Alois Trancy
died a beautiful death,
**[07:10] ---**
his body pure and
undefiled by Earl Trancy."
**[07:14] ---**
What on Earth is this about?
**[07:17] ---**
The actual answer is "false."
**[07:20] ---**
However, judging by
our previous question...
**[07:26] ---**
Grell.
**[07:28] ---**
You'll let me make you high, won't you?
**[07:31] ---**
Make me high? Do you mean...?
**[07:41] ---**
See you next week!
**[07:49] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[07:58] ---**
I await your letters of
encouragement, dear viewers.
**[08:02] ---**
The one setting these
questions is falsifying things.
**[08:09] ---**
This is certainly a clown's maze.
**[08:15] ---**
*Remember. My parents were killed.*
**[08:19] ---**
*And then I signed a
contract with Sebastian.*
**[08:23] ---**
*To get revenge on the ones who
plunged me to the depths of humiliation...*
**[08:34] ---**
Answer me!
**[08:37] ---**
Master?
**[08:39] ---**
That little brat's pitching a fit!
**[08:45] ---**
Claude, get over here
at once! Come here! Claude!
**[08:50] ---**
Don't dawdle! I gave you
an advantage in this game!
**[08:54] ---**
An irritating cheer.
**[08:57] ---**
"Question: Repeat 'Yes,
Your Highness' three times."
**[09:02] ---**
Yes Your Highness Yes Your
Highness Yes Your Highness.
**[09:11] ---**
What a farce.
**[09:15] ---**
He said "Yes, Your Highness"...
You see? He's still my butler.
**[09:21] ---**
I'm loved. So much...
so much, by Claude...
**[09:26] ---**
Then why do you cry, my lord?
**[09:32] ---**
*Master, I want to show you real love...*
**[09:39] ---**
Master?!
**[09:43] ---**
*That's right.*
**[09:45] ---**
*Sebastian and I identified the
Queen as the target of my revenge!*
**[09:51] ---**
*And behind her was an angel.*
**[09:55] ---**
*Wait...*
**[09:58] ---**
*What is this? The angel is... dead?*
**[10:01] ---**
*And Her Majesty as well?*
**[10:03] ---**
*What does this mean?*
**[10:05] ---**
*Have I...*
**[10:09] ---**
What is it?
**[10:10] ---**
The labyrinth...
**[10:18] ---**
It's transforming!
**[10:20] ---**
This labyrinth followed
the dictates of your heart,
**[10:25] ---**
but now Ciel Phantomhive's
will has crept in.
**[10:27] ---**
What?!
**[10:29] ---**
"Question: Has Ciel Phantomhive
already achieved his revenge?"
**[10:35] ---**
This question...
**[10:42] ---**
Could it be...?
**[10:43] ---**
The answer is "yes."
**[10:50] ---**
Young master.
**[10:57] ---**
Bitter Rabbit--one of
Funtom's bestselling goods.
**[11:02] ---**
You're there right now,
aren't you, young master?
**[11:17] ---**
*That's right. I achieved
my revenge that day.*
**[11:22] ---**
*And as per the contract,
Sebastian took my...*
**[11:28] ---**
*Sebastian took my...?*
**[11:31] ---**
"Question:
**[11:32] ---**
Why didn't Sebastian Michaelis
eat Ciel Phantomhive's soul?"
**[11:38] ---**
Our contract.
**[11:43] ---**
I lost this arm temporarily,
and the contract seal with it.
**[11:49] ---**
Claude Faustus pounced in that
brief moment when it was gone
**[11:52] ---**
and stole your soul from me.
**[12:06] ---**
A goose? He's calling me silly?
**[12:10] ---**
That's my young master.
**[12:12] ---**
How dare you interfere?
**[12:16] ---**
You bounder!
**[12:17] ---**
I'll kill you, do you hear me?!
**[12:20] ---**
Please, stop!
**[12:22] ---**
You'll hurt yourself as well, Master.
**[12:24] ---**
I... I have things I want to
ask Claude, too, you know!
**[12:29] ---**
Look, Master.
**[12:31] ---**
It's Claude. He seems to have
reached the final question station.
**[12:36] ---**
Finally, finally, I can ask him.
**[12:39] ---**
Claude, why did you do it?
**[12:44] ---**
"Final question: Why did
Claude kill Alois Trancy?"
**[12:49] ---**
That would be because
of my passion for him.
**[12:54] ---**
My love made me...
**[13:00] ---**
I murdered you so I could use you as a tool
**[13:04] ---**
to obtain Ciel Phantomhive.
**[13:11] ---**
Why? You could have lied...
**[13:14] ---**
You must know that's
how this maze is made!
**[13:18] ---**
Yet you still...
**[13:21] ---**
*Sebastian.*
**[13:22] ---**
*That's right; I got my revenge
by Sebastian's hands.*
**[13:27] ---**
*Which means my soul...*
**[13:30] ---**
Claude!
**[13:33] ---**
Master!
**[13:35] ---**
Why?
**[13:36] ---**
Why are you fighting me, Ciel?!
**[13:38] ---**
How greedy can you be?!
**[13:41] ---**
You're happy, aren't you?
**[13:45] ---**
Claude, of all people, is dashing
to and fro trying to save you!
**[13:49] ---**
Isn't that rich?
**[13:52] ---**
Why aren't you even
trying to enjoy it?!
**[13:56] ---**
Don't cry.
**[13:57] ---**
Piss off! Let me go!
**[13:59] ---**
Don't cry. You'll always
be the best, Brother.
**[14:11] ---**
Back to square one.
**[14:16] ---**
"A question, again:
**[14:17] ---**
Why did Luka sign a contract
with Sebastian Michaelis?"
**[14:22] ---**
The shocking thing is
how cloddish this question is.
**[14:26] ---**
The underlying assumption itself is wrong.
**[14:29] ---**
It was Hannah Annafellows
who signed a contract with Luka.
**[14:33] ---**
She's otherwise known as
"the sheath that holds a demon's sword."
**[14:41] ---**
Hannah, what does he mean?
Luka signed a contract with you?
**[14:45] ---**
I've always wished to grant your wishes.
**[14:51] ---**
In part because that is what Luka,
who sleeps within me, wishes.
**[14:58] ---**
Demons have too much time;
I had more than I knew what to do with.
**[15:03] ---**
Human souls were merely food to me.
**[15:06] ---**
They were dull.
**[15:09] ---**
But then...
**[15:12] ---**
You really came!
**[15:15] ---**
You're not afraid of
demons--or rather, of death?
**[15:20] ---**
'Course I am! I'm about to piss myself!
**[15:23] ---**
Then why call me?
**[15:24] ---**
It'll make my brother happy!
**[15:27] ---**
He was nothing like any
of the souls I'd eaten before.
**[15:33] ---**
Yes, Your Highness!
**[15:36] ---**
He was purely, single-mindedly
devoted to his older brother.
**[15:39] ---**
I was surprised... and eventually
I felt something entirely new.
**[15:45] ---**
He became... precious to me.
**[15:49] ---**
Still, as a demon, there was
only one thing I could do for him:
**[15:54] ---**
Grant his wish as
the contract stipulated.
**[15:59] ---**
Even if that meant devouring his soul...
**[16:09] ---**
Demon, it's you.
**[16:12] ---**
Thank you for making
my wish come true.
**[16:21] ---**
That was the first time a soul
I'd eaten had ever been grateful.
**[16:39] ---**
"Question: Did Claude know that
Hannah had made a contract with Luka?"
**[16:45] ---**
The answer is "yes."
**[16:48] ---**
Well, well.
**[16:49] ---**
This "Luka" boy called the
master "Your Highness"?
**[16:53] ---**
Very interesting.
**[16:55] ---**
Hannah was fiercely obsessed
**[16:58] ---**
with the soul of Alois
Trancy's younger brother.
**[17:00] ---**
That queer way of
thinking aroused my interest.
**[17:08] ---**
Hannah...
**[17:10] ---**
Master, I can see Luka in you...
**[17:13] ---**
No matter how much you despised me,
**[17:15] ---**
just being near you made me happy.
**[17:20] ---**
I love Luka...
**[17:22] ---**
And I also love my master, Jim Macken.
**[17:28] ---**
Master... No, Brother.
Sign a new contract with me,
**[17:33] ---**
and be reunited with Luka inside me.
**[17:37] ---**
That's what both he and I want.
**[17:45] ---**
"Final question: Why did
Claude kill Alois Trancy?"
**[17:51] ---**
I'll say it as often as you like:
to obtain Ciel Phantomhive.
**[18:09] ---**
I won't fall for the same trick twice.
**[18:19] ---**
How nice to see you again, Claude.
**[18:23] ---**
Luka, Hannah...
**[18:25] ---**
I can be one with you,
the people who love me,
**[18:30] ---**
whom I should love best?
**[18:35] ---**
Ciel?!
**[18:37] ---**
Se-Sebastian, I...!
**[18:41] ---**
Stop it, Ciel!
**[18:43] ---**
Master!
**[18:45] ---**
Make him stop, Hannah!
**[18:55] ---**
Unhand me.
**[19:00] ---**
Sebastian!
**[19:06] ---**
Young master, you came back.
**[19:09] ---**
He saaaw you, he saaaw you.
**[19:15] ---**
You let him seeee youuu.
**[19:20] ---**
Congratulations on
the young master's return,
**[19:23] ---**
but he never rescinded his
order for you to stay out of sight.
**[19:28] ---**
You can't do anything
where he can see you.
**[19:31] ---**
Enjoy a little rest, won't you?
**[19:34] ---**
I must be going.
**[19:35] ---**
Don't just stand there!
**[19:38] ---**
You helped me get my revenge.
**[19:41] ---**
This is an order:
eat my soul this instant!
**[19:44] ---**
Until that final moment when
you've devoured every drop of my soul,
**[19:48] ---**
you remain my butler, Sebastian Michaelis!
**[19:56] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[20:01] ---**
Obtain Ciel? You, Claude? You, Sebastian?
**[20:06] ---**
To hell with that!
**[20:09] ---**
I'll make everyone, everything
that won't love me begone!
**[20:14] ---**
Master...
**[20:16] ---**
I've found people to love me.
**[20:19] ---**
Luka... and Hannah.
**[20:33] ---**
Could Alois Trancy mean to
enter into a contract with Hannah?
**[20:37] ---**
Young master!
**[20:38] ---**
I suppose at times like these,
**[20:39] ---**
the important thing is to properly
identify the enemy of the hour.
**[20:43] ---**
There's no helping it.
Just for the moment...
**[20:59] ---**
Tell me you love me.
**[21:01] ---**
I love you, Master.
**[21:07] ---**
Give me a hug.
**[21:10] ---**
I shall, Master.
**[21:19] ---**
Alois Trancy's labyrinth is
as persistent as its owner!
**[21:27] ---**
*Love is so warm...*
**[21:35] ---**
Young master!
**[21:41] ---**
Young master!
**[21:54] ---**
Claude, you snared
my heart in a spider web,
**[21:59] ---**
my eternal Highness...
**[22:08] ---**
I wanted your love.
**[22:16] ---**
The contract is complete.
**[22:21] ---**
I've signed a
contract with Jim Macken,
**[22:25] ---**
and Ciel Phantomhive's
soul along with him.
**[22:40] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[22:47] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[22:54] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[22:59] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[23:06] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[23:13] ---**
*I mourn that I can't go in search*
**[23:20] ---**
*Of that blue sky I once saw*
**[23:28] ---**
*But everyone is in the sky*
**[23:35] ---**
*In the cage of freedom*
**[23:42] ---**
*In a starless night sky*
**[23:49] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[24:04] ---**
*My name is Sebastian Michaelis.*
**[24:07] ---**
*My small master named me
"Sebastian" after his old family dog,*
**[24:13] ---**
*and "Michaelis" after the Japanese
mikaeri: the "repayment" I sought.*
**[24:18] ---**
*Next time: "Black Butler."*
**[24:20] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler...*
**[24:23] ---**
*Or rather, a demon after
the soul of Ciel Phantomhive...*
**[24:28] ---**
*isn't worth his salt if he
doesn't live up to his name.*

**[00:53] ---**
My master signed a contract with me
**[00:55] ---**
while in control of
Ciel Phantomhive's body.
**[01:01] ---**
Alas, Ciel Phantomhive's soul...
**[01:03] ---**
will not see the light of day...
**[01:07] ---**
until my master's soul is
released as the contract stipulates.
**[01:23] ---**
What are the details of the contract?
What are Alois Trancy's wishes?
**[01:27] ---**
It's a secret between my master and I.
**[01:31] ---**
How cocky.
**[01:32] ---**
But I will tell you this.
**[01:36] ---**
My master's wishes
**[01:38] ---**
include for one of you to
end your life as a demon.
**[01:44] ---**
When one of you wins
**[01:46] ---**
and the contract between
my master and I is fulfilled,
**[01:51] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive's soul
will be released by my master.
**[01:56] ---**
After that...
**[01:57] ---**
Hannah... If we strangle you to death...
**[02:01] ---**
My viscera will glow in noble blue...
**[02:05] ---**
and Ciel Phantomhive will come back to life.
**[02:07] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[02:15] ---**
This island of death,
a sanctuary for demons...
**[02:19] ---**
It seems that your rage caused you
**[02:21] ---**
to do quite a number on it...
Sebastian Michaelis...
**[02:24] ---**
Hannah... you brought us here.
Does that mean...
**[02:29] ---**
What you two will carry out here
is a formal duel between demons.
**[02:35] ---**
How stupid...
**[02:39] ---**
A duel between demons?
**[02:41] ---**
Funny, isn't it? To see two
grown men so desperate...
**[02:46] ---**
Alois...
**[02:50] ---**
When my wishes come true,
**[02:51] ---**
I'll die for real and
have Hannah eat my soul.
**[02:55] ---**
Then I'll return this body to you.
**[02:58] ---**
This body, huh...?
**[03:00] ---**
I did a terrible thing to you, Ciel.
**[03:02] ---**
But you're loved by
both Sebastian and Claude.
**[03:06] ---**
So it was punishment for
having such a blessed life.
**[03:08] ---**
Love? How distasteful...
**[03:10] ---**
What?
**[03:11] ---**
You don't understand Sebastian...
**[03:14] ---**
how he'll act when he learns
the details of the contract...
**[03:42] ---**
There is no attack that
can fatally wound a demon.
**[03:47] ---**
However, a wound caused by
a demon's sword will never heal.
**[03:53] ---**
And...
**[03:55] ---**
a soul pierced by a demon's
sword will come to a complete end.
**[04:02] ---**
Come now...!
**[04:05] ---**
Using a single sword...
**[04:07] ---**
A fight over a single soul...
**[04:15] ---**
I'm the one who'll sink his teeth
into the soul of the young master!
**[04:28] ---**
Sharply... Deeply...!
**[04:30] ---**
I'll tear it apart!
**[04:39] ---**
A small space like this
hinders my ability to move around.
**[04:42] ---**
So I will tear apart...
**[04:45] ---**
this island of death!
**[04:49] ---**
What?!
**[04:55] ---**
Master!
**[05:02] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis!
**[05:26] ---**
That sword is...!
**[05:27] ---**
That soul is...!
**[05:30] ---**
Mine!
**[05:41] ---**
It's started raining.
**[05:46] ---**
I've already achieved my revenge.
**[05:49] ---**
After that, I existed
**[05:51] ---**
solely for the purpose of
being devoured by Sebastian.
**[05:54] ---**
But your plan was ruined because of the
contract signed between Hannah and I.
**[06:04] ---**
What a pitiful demon,
**[06:07] ---**
fighting completely unaware like this.
**[06:12] ---**
He's fighting not knowing
that even if he wins...
**[06:26] ---**
...his reward will be...
**[06:47] ---**
Now you can no longer
tear the young master apart.
**[06:52] ---**
The young master's... soul...
**[06:57] ---**
This death that I greet as the fight over
the young master's sweet soul ends...
**[07:04] ---**
still gives off a rich
fragrance even as I wither away...
**[07:09] ---**
The young master's soul?
Don't make me laugh.
**[07:13] ---**
You've been trifled with
by the soul of Alois Trancy
**[07:16] ---**
and you'll die as he intended.
**[07:19] ---**
You’ve been under that
boy’s control to the very end.
**[07:23] ---**
Alois Trancy...
**[07:29] ---**
My glasses...
**[07:30] ---**
What?
**[07:32] ---**
I have a spare pair in my breast pocket.
**[07:45] ---**
A long, long, idle life as a demon...
**[07:50] ---**
If Alois Trancy has created a stir in it...
**[07:53] ---**
his soul might've been
worth tearing apart as well.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm impressed that you're so
talkative with a fatal wound like this.
**[08:09] ---**
Yes... But my end is about to come.
**[08:14] ---**
Well then, let us have your last words.
**[08:17] ---**
Yes...
**[08:21] ---**
Passion into insincerity,
**[08:23] ---**
lies into truth,
**[08:26] ---**
and a stray dog into an earl.
**[08:28] ---**
That's what makes a...
**[08:32] ---**
...butler...
**[08:47] ---**
Whose butler did you die as, Claude?
**[08:52] ---**
Claude!
**[08:54] ---**
It's over.
**[08:57] ---**
Yes... it’s over.
**[09:00] ---**
Are you satisfied?
**[09:02] ---**
I don’t know. I can’t
really tell anymore.
**[09:05] ---**
But...
**[09:07] ---**
But?
**[09:08] ---**
That's fine with me.
**[09:26] ---**
Now, Sebastian!
The truth is right in front of you.
**[09:30] ---**
What will you do when
you learn everything?
**[09:38] ---**
Our happiness has come.
**[09:43] ---**
Oh... Master...!
**[09:45] ---**
Claude acknowledged you.
**[09:48] ---**
Hannah...
**[09:51] ---**
The contract between my
master and I is now fulfilled.
**[09:54] ---**
All you have to do now is to kill me.
**[09:57] ---**
Your young master
will get his body back.
**[10:02] ---**
However...
**[10:04] ---**
even if he gets his body back,
**[10:06] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive will be as
good as a dead person to you.
**[10:11] ---**
Our happiness now
comes to a conclusion.
**[10:15] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive is...
**[10:41] ---**
Contract?
**[10:45] ---**
What do you wish, Master?
**[10:47] ---**
Claude's love...?
**[10:49] ---**
Or would you rather tear off his
limbs and force him to serve you?
**[10:54] ---**
They're approaching.
**[10:57] ---**
Yes, in pursuit of
Ciel Phantomhive's soul.
**[11:02] ---**
I've decided.
**[11:05] ---**
What I wish for in making
a contract with you is...
**[11:09] ---**
that neither of them will get Ciel's soul.
**[11:14] ---**
Murder, then?
**[11:16] ---**
No, that won't do.
**[11:19] ---**
I saw Claude's love right in front of me,
**[11:22] ---**
but it eluded me.
I want them to feel that...
**[11:27] ---**
*To me, my young master
is as good as a dead person.*
**[11:32] ---**
*What that means is...*
**[11:38] ---**
Jim Macken. Luka Macken.
**[11:43] ---**
Claude Faustus.
**[11:45] ---**
Hannah Annafellows.
**[11:56] ---**
The love amongst the four of us
will achieve eternal enlightenment.
**[12:10] ---**
Luka... We finally meet, Luka!
**[12:13] ---**
Brother!
**[12:14] ---**
We're gonna stay together forever!
Hannah and Claude are with us, too!
**[12:19] ---**
Yep! I don't feel lonely anymore!
**[12:22] ---**
That's right. We're not lonely anymore!
**[12:26] ---**
Everyone, everything, is happy!
**[12:33] ---**
*Young master...*
**[12:36] ---**
*Young master...!*
**[12:39] ---**
*Although I'm a demon,*
**[12:40] ---**
*I served the young master even
though it meant becoming a lowly butler.*
**[12:43] ---**
*Those days...*
**[12:46] ---**
Thank you very much
for waiting, young master.
**[12:54] ---**
Are you insane?
**[12:55] ---**
Whatever do you mean?
**[12:59] ---**
It seems that you skillfully
made it look like real food,
**[13:02] ---**
but while it is quite colorful,
it has very little taste.
**[13:05] ---**
I apologize. I'll bring
something different right away.
**[13:08] ---**
You signed a contract with me.
**[13:11] ---**
If you're a butler,
fulfill your duty as a butler.
**[13:15] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:20] ---**
Damn demon...
**[13:26] ---**
*Yes... I'm a demon.*
**[13:29] ---**
*How could I understand
the taste of human food?*
**[13:33] ---**
*The only taste I can understand is...*
**[13:37] ---**
*the taste of human souls.*
**[14:12] ---**
Good morning, young master.
**[14:59] ---**
Would you prefer to make it tighter?
**[15:04] ---**
No.
**[15:22] ---**
Today's tea is New Moon Drop.
**[15:30] ---**
What's my schedule like today?
**[15:36] ---**
Completely open.
**[15:41] ---**
It smells good.
**[15:57] ---**
Come in.
**[15:59] ---**
Y-Young master!
**[16:01] ---**
Lady Elizabeth is here, yes...
**[16:04] ---**
All right.
**[16:13] ---**
Young master...
**[16:15] ---**
I'll decide today's schedule myself.
**[16:25] ---**
Both of you, please
attend the young master.
**[16:27] ---**
Make sure not to be
impolite to Lady Elizabeth.
**[16:30] ---**
Where are you going, Sebastian?
**[16:33] ---**
I'm off to take care of some business.
**[16:35] ---**
Some business? Hey, Sebastian!
**[16:39] ---**
Ciel!
**[16:41] ---**
I-I can't breathe!
**[16:43] ---**
I missed you! I've had
"Ciel deficiency" all this time!
**[16:47] ---**
Ah! Oh no! What's with
that outfit?! It's not cute!
**[16:52] ---**
Such a plain outfit
doesn't look good on you.
**[16:55] ---**
I suppose not...
**[16:57] ---**
Maybe I'll change... just like that day.
**[17:00] ---**
"Just like that day"? Ciel...
**[17:03] ---**
Are you possibly saying...
**[17:05] ---**
Will you dance with me, my lady?
**[17:09] ---**
My pleasure!
**[17:17] ---**
Say, Ciel, what did
you do with your ring?
**[17:32] ---**
This music sounds
unpleasant somehow.
**[17:35] ---**
So the gramophone has broken...
**[17:37] ---**
Say...
**[17:38] ---**
What's the matter?
**[17:41] ---**
Nothing.
**[17:53] ---**
Oh, hey, butler. It's been a while.
**[17:56] ---**
Hello. I'm glad to
see you in good health.
**[17:59] ---**
Yeah, all thanks to
you letting me get away.
**[18:02] ---**
Well, I went along with your transparent
acting in return, so we're even, right?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes. I appreciate it.
This is a token of our gratitude.
**[18:12] ---**
Ran-Mao.
**[18:14] ---**
My young master will be away from
London for a while. So he sent me here
**[18:17] ---**
to say goodbye.
**[18:19] ---**
I see. I'll miss him.
**[18:21] ---**
And here's his message for you.
**[18:25] ---**
"I thought about killing you,
but it was too much of a bother.
**[18:29] ---**
Live as you please... however,
**[18:32] ---**
make sure you keep out of my sights."
**[18:34] ---**
Oh? So his memory came back, eh?
**[18:38] ---**
That's a happy ending,
don't you think Ran-Mao?
**[18:41] ---**
So, he's leaving London.
Where's he going?
**[18:51] ---**
*With cold tears filling your eyes*
**[18:57] ---**
*When the time is ripe*
**[19:02] ---**
*You shall cut through the
darkness in search of the light*
**[19:13] ---**
*Farewell*
**[19:16] ---**
*Because you and I can never meet again*
**[19:21] ---**
What took you so long, Sebastian?
**[19:24] ---**
I apologize. We can leave now.
**[19:26] ---**
Young master...
A-Are you really leaving?
**[19:30] ---**
Do what you want with this mansion.
**[19:31] ---**
You can use it, or you can even burn it.
**[19:36] ---**
W-We can't do that!
**[19:38] ---**
Why not?
**[19:39] ---**
Because... this place is filled with
our memories with you, young master!
**[19:43] ---**
Memories don't mean anything.
I proved that, didn't I?
**[19:47] ---**
That's not true, young master!
**[19:49] ---**
*Past the darkness where the moon sets*
**[19:54] ---**
*Is the narrow road*
**[20:06] ---**
*Back to the source*
**[20:17] ---**
I was looking forward
to seeing what you'd do
**[20:20] ---**
when their contract was fulfilled.
**[20:24] ---**
That was quite funny, Sebastian.
**[20:28] ---**
I didn't think you'd try to kill me.
**[20:33] ---**
When your revenge was achieved,
you were going to give me your soul.
**[20:38] ---**
That is why I've served you as a butler.
**[20:43] ---**
But I'm still alive.
**[20:51] ---**
Yes, you are alive...
**[20:54] ---**
not as a human...
**[20:58] ---**
but as a demon.
**[21:02] ---**
On that day, Alois Trancy signed
a contract with Hannah Annafellows.
**[21:07] ---**
As the contract with
my master stipulates,
**[21:10] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive will
come back to life as a demon.
**[21:16] ---**
That's exactly why...
**[21:26] ---**
What a greeting you gave me.
**[21:28] ---**
You tried to kill me before
I awakened as a demon?
**[21:33] ---**
No. I felt I had to ascertain whether
you had truly awakened as a demon.
**[21:40] ---**
I see. You wanted to
grasp the situation accurately.
**[21:45] ---**
You made the right choice as a butler.
**[21:51] ---**
I shall never be able to devour your soul.
**[21:56] ---**
Yes. And...
**[21:59] ---**
I gave you the order
in that rose labyrinth...
**[22:10] ---**
...to remain my butler forever.
**[22:16] ---**
Indeed. Since I responded
"yes" to that order...
**[22:21] ---**
even if I can't devour your soul...
**[22:24] ---**
I am merely one hell of a butler...
**[22:29] ---**
...for a fellow fiend of hell.
**[23:06] ---**
Where shall we go?
**[23:09] ---**
I don't care where.
**[23:12] ---**
The place we will end up treats both
humans and demons the same anyway.
**[23:26] ---**
I feel good...
**[23:28] ---**
as if I've been released from a
spell I was under for a long time...
**[23:32] ---**
Yes. In return...
**[23:35] ---**
I was put under an eternal spell.
**[23:39] ---**
You're my butler.
**[23:42] ---**
I'm your butler...
**[23:44] ---**
...forever.
**[23:46] ---**
From here on, as before,
you have only one answer.
**[23:51] ---**
You know it, don't you?
**[23:57] ---**
Yes, my lord.

"Prologue"
**[00:51] ---**
Another ordinary day in the same old room...
**[00:54] ---**
Alice was beginning to get
very tired of it. Because, you see...
**[00:59] ---**
Her financial report was a dreary thing
**[01:02] ---**
with no murders,
violence, or tragic partings in it.
**[01:07] ---**
Did you say something?
**[01:11] ---**
No, nothing.
**[01:15] ---**
Sebastian. Tea.
**[01:18] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[01:36] ---**
What?
**[01:52] ---**
*Are my eyes playing tricks on me?*
**[01:55] ---**
How late it's getting! Two minutes
and forty seconds behind schedule!
**[02:02] ---**
Why can't I catch him up?
**[02:30] ---**
To think she fell right
into such an elementary trap!
**[02:32] ---**
Though she may pass herself off
as cautious, she's really quite daft--
**[02:35] ---**
Pardon me, I meant to say, "Oh, poor Alice!
**[02:37] ---**
Whatever shall become of her?
I do so look forward to finding out."
**[02:43] ---**
"Chapter One: Down the Rabbit-Hole"
**[03:10] ---**
Where am I?
**[03:13] ---**
I don't recall any room
like this below the manor.
**[03:23] ---**
Not this one, either?
**[03:26] ---**
Oh dear! I'm late!
**[03:28] ---**
I'm late, I'm late! I'm late, I'm late!
**[03:31] ---**
Sebastian!
**[03:32] ---**
Now I shall be three minutes late!
**[03:47] ---**
Did he just *ignore* me?
**[03:51] ---**
And then *lock the door*?!
**[03:53] ---**
Oh, how *cute*!
**[03:57] ---**
My lady!
**[03:59] ---**
That voice...
**[04:00] ---**
Alice!
**[04:08] ---**
Lizzie?!
**[04:09] ---**
This is my lady the Mouse.
**[04:12] ---**
And I am the Dodo!
**[04:14] ---**
So cute, so cute, so cute!
**[04:20] ---**
Alice, why are you wearing such
plain clothes? They're not cute at all!
**[04:25] ---**
It's what I always wear.
More to the point, who is this "Alice"?
**[04:28] ---**
Well, really! *You're* Alice, aren't you?
**[04:31] ---**
My teacher at Mouse School told me,
**[04:34] ---**
"When in the country,
do as the country folk do;
**[04:36] ---**
when in Rome, do as the Romans do;
**[04:39] ---**
and the cat in gloves catches no mice!"
**[04:42] ---**
Shall I take it we're in Rome, then...?
**[04:46] ---**
What are you on about?
We're in Wonderland, naturally!
**[04:49] ---**
Now, as soon as you've
changed clothes, we'll have a snack!
**[04:52] ---**
"Wonderland"?!
**[04:55] ---**
What...
**[04:56] ---**
What the devil is this?!
**[05:09] ---**
Ea... "Eat Me"...
**[05:11] ---**
...is the name of this cake.
**[05:15] ---**
Oh, how cute!
**[05:19] ---**
It's got very peculiar coloring
for a cake... is it really edible?
**[05:24] ---**
I'm told the flavor is most amusing.
**[05:26] ---**
I-I beg you'll enjoy every crumb of it.
**[05:30] ---**
Lovely! Let's tuck in!
**[05:33] ---**
Lizzie, wait! Let's be cautious about--
**[05:35] ---**
Hey!
**[05:40] ---**
It's very nice!
**[05:41] ---**
It has a sort of mixed flavor of
lemon meringue pie, *gâteau au chocolat*,
**[05:45] ---**
Victoria sponge, scone, cottage pie,
roast hare, and lobster curry!
**[05:51] ---**
What does *that* taste like?
**[05:56] ---**
What's wrong? Are you all right?
**[05:58] ---**
My lady?
**[05:59] ---**
I-I have a curious feeling...
**[06:03] ---**
Lizzie!
**[06:28] ---**
Oh, no, what's this?!
**[06:30] ---**
My lady!
**[06:32] ---**
Lizzie!
**[06:33] ---**
I'll not be cute anymore if I'm this big!
**[06:45] ---**
Lizzie, please, don't cry!
**[06:56] ---**
Big or not, you're still
adorable as ever, my lady!
**[07:01] ---**
Oh, but I shan't be able to wear
the cute new boots I bought yesterday!
**[07:07] ---**
Is that what you should be
worrying about right now?!
**[07:11] ---**
Hmm... Is there anything here we can use?
**[07:15] ---**
Dr... "Drink Me"...
**[07:21] ---**
Where did you get that from?!
**[07:23] ---**
I-I'd be too embarrassed to say.
**[07:27] ---**
I'll do anything to save my lady!
**[07:30] ---**
Because I'm her maid!
**[07:36] ---**
All right.
**[07:40] ---**
Lizzie! Drink this!
**[07:42] ---**
Yes! That's right! If I have no cake,
I can simply drink strawberry juice!
**[07:53] ---**
My lady the Mouse's only faults
were that she didn't listen to others
**[07:57] ---**
and that she had just a *dribble* of egotism.
**[08:00] ---**
The journey through
Wonderland has only just begun,
**[08:02] ---**
and our poor Alice has
her work cut out for her.
**[08:09] ---**
"Chapter Two: The Rabbit Gleams on the Water"
**[08:20] ---**
This way, Alice! Come quickly!
**[08:31] ---**
*It looks as though she
turned back to normal...*
**[08:35] ---**
Catch! Row! Catch! Row!
Catch! Row! Catch! Row!
**[08:53] ---**
Yo, Alice! Hangin' in there?
**[08:55] ---**
Not far to the shore now!
**[08:57] ---**
No grim faces! Smile, smile, yes!
**[09:01] ---**
What's on the other
side of this lake, you three?
**[09:04] ---**
Lake?!
**[09:05] ---**
Oh, I say, is this a lake?
**[09:07] ---**
The sea, I thought--was that a mistake?
**[09:09] ---**
You're off by a mile!
**[09:11] ---**
Yep, I've known it for a while:
the only place *this* wet is the Nile!
**[09:15] ---**
The Nile? Shouldn't the water there be nil?
**[09:17] ---**
No, no, it's nil in Nigeria!
**[09:19] ---**
And Algeria has it all!
**[09:22] ---**
"Splashing of water / as the great
frog makes his jump / into the old lake."
**[09:28] ---**
So this place really is a lake?!
**[09:30] ---**
The sea, I thought--was that a mistake?
**[09:32] ---**
You're off by a mile!
**[09:33] ---**
Chaps, put your thinking caps on:
the only place *this* wet is the Amazon!
**[09:37] ---**
Quit repeating yourselves, you dodos!
**[09:40] ---**
B-B-But I'm the Dodo.
**[09:43] ---**
Oh, I'm very sorry! Do forgive me!
**[09:47] ---**
Look! It's the White Rabbit!
**[10:02] ---**
He's terrific, yes!
**[10:04] ---**
This must be land after all,
if the White Rabbit can run here!
**[10:07] ---**
Mark my words: if a rabbit is in
the lead, a turtle will come in second!
**[10:12] ---**
Stop this instant, Sebastian!
Don't leave me behind!
**[10:22] ---**
I know that voice, yes.
**[10:24] ---**
The Puppy!
**[10:26] ---**
Look sharp, you two!
**[10:28] ---**
Sir, yes, Sir!
**[10:29] ---**
It's just a puppy, isn't it?
Why are you so...?
**[10:40] ---**
Here he comes! Don't let him unseat you!
**[10:46] ---**
That's no "puppy"!
**[10:50] ---**
My lady!
**[10:54] ---**
Alice!
**[10:59] ---**
*It's salty... a sea? Oh,
right, these are tears.*
**[11:05] ---**
*Sebastian...*
**[11:08] ---**
Many suspected that
Alice couldn't swim a stroke.
**[11:11] ---**
She claimed she merely found
breathing difficult, but setting that aside...
**[11:15] ---**
Alice truly excelled at being
kidnapped, attacked, and drowned.
**[11:20] ---**
I wish she'd have a little
consideration for her rescuers.
**[11:25] ---**
"Chapter Three: The Mock Turtle Blossoms"
**[11:38] ---**
I'll catch a cold if I don't get dry soon!
I have to change clothes...
**[11:55] ---**
I had no choice.
**[12:01] ---**
I'm not dressed like this by choice!
**[12:04] ---**
Who are you talking to,
my playful little robin?
**[12:09] ---**
I've been looking forward to meeting you!
**[12:13] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[12:14] ---**
You're charming even
when you're standoffish!
**[12:16] ---**
Now, how about a
dance with the Mock Turtle?
**[12:19] ---**
No!
**[12:20] ---**
Drat, drat! You won't
join me in the dance?!
**[12:24] ---**
And after cutting a pretty figure to
seduce me like that! Oh, how sinful!
**[12:30] ---**
I'm not flirting with you!
**[12:31] ---**
Oh, ought this little robin's
unrobinlike sin of pride to be forgiven?!
**[12:36] ---**
No! Even if Her Majesty
forgives it, I never shall!
**[12:41] ---**
Now, my lady, give me your hand.
**[12:45] ---**
Wait a moment. There's a
Queen in this country, too?
**[12:48] ---**
But of course. The Queen of Hearts
is a woman of exquisite beauty.
**[12:53] ---**
Do you want an audience with her?
All the more reason...
**[13:01] ---**
You'll dance with me, won't you?
**[13:13] ---**
Un, deux, trois! Un, deux, trois!
**[13:18] ---**
That's right; you're doing
splendidly, my little robin.
**[13:25] ---**
When will this humiliation be over?
**[13:28] ---**
When you dance well enough
to suit your appearance.
**[13:32] ---**
Dancing is an essential skill for a
maiden bound for the royal palace!
**[13:38] ---**
Back to the beginning!
**[13:39] ---**
I'm afraid I'll never be able to
give you a passing grade at this rate.
**[13:43] ---**
Although personally, I'd love to
dance an eternal waltz with you...
**[13:52] ---**
Now, lift your face, and let everyone
see how fit for the ball you are!
**[14:07] ---**
This isn't-- Stop it! Don't look at me!
**[14:11] ---**
It isn't what? Flowers
are meant to be admired.
**[14:15] ---**
The more people behold them,
the more beautiful they become!
**[14:19] ---**
Sebastian?!
**[14:22] ---**
You mustn't allow yourself
to be distracted mid-dance.
**[14:25] ---**
Now, concentrate.
**[14:30] ---**
Let me go. Let me go!
I've got to follow him!
**[14:34] ---**
Why? Why are you
chasing a rabbit, of all things?
**[14:38] ---**
Because...!
**[14:39] ---**
Because... well...
**[14:41] ---**
Hmm?
**[14:42] ---**
At any rate, stop this spin at once!
**[14:45] ---**
I can't stop! I just keep going!
**[14:47] ---**
In fact, I won't stop!
I want to go on forever!
**[14:49] ---**
What?!
**[14:54] ---**
It's so much fun, I can't stop myself!
**[14:56] ---**
Because, my little robin, this spin is
the outpouring of my feelings for you!
**[15:04] ---**
Getting... dizzy...!
**[15:08] ---**
I can see it! I can see it!
**[15:10] ---**
A flock of angels soaring
through the night skies!
**[15:12] ---**
Yes, you are the
fruit of our lost paradise!
**[15:15] ---**
Oh, I would violate any
taboo to admire this beauty!
**[15:21] ---**
Stop it... Stop!
**[15:26] ---**
Let my feelings reach you, here and now!
**[15:30] ---**
Lobster-Quadrille!
**[15:42] ---**
Her body, slender as a
twig and light as a feather,
**[15:45] ---**
could go quite a distance when thrown.
**[15:47] ---**
And so Alice flew far, far away.
**[15:53] ---**
Beautiful!

"Chapter Four: Pepper Wafts Through the Air"
**[16:25] ---**
Where am I?
**[16:32] ---**
What is this?
**[16:49] ---**
What's going on here?
**[16:53] ---**
This is my palace!
In other words, I am the Duchess!
**[16:58] ---**
And this is my esteemed cook!
**[17:03] ---**
Turmeric, coriander,
cloves, cinnamon, cardamom,
**[17:07] ---**
cumin, fennel, anise, caraway...
**[17:10] ---**
And the trump card is...
**[17:12] ---**
...black pepper!
**[17:20] ---**
I've only just begun!
The ultimate curry will not be perfected
**[17:24] ---**
until I've added another 3,000 spices!
**[17:30] ---**
Excellent! I'd expect
nothing less from my cook!
**[17:33] ---**
And now our final member--Kitchen Maid Alice!
**[17:39] ---**
Don't involve me in this!
**[17:41] ---**
Now, now, no need to get upset.
Have you eaten too much chilli powder?
**[17:45] ---**
That won't do!
**[17:46] ---**
Less chilli powder, more ginger!
And the trump card is...
**[17:50] ---**
...black pepper!
**[17:55] ---**
Yes! This! This is it! The piquancy
of our great Mother Nature!
**[17:59] ---**
Knock it off!
**[18:01] ---**
Oh, I forgot one more
member of the household.
**[18:05] ---**
Mee-ow!
**[18:08] ---**
What's that?
**[18:10] ---**
When did the perverted-looking
red thing get here?
**[18:13] ---**
Meow.
**[18:15] ---**
What are you on about?
It's been here all along.
**[18:17] ---**
And it's not a pervert; it's a Cheshire-Cat!
**[18:20] ---**
Meow!
**[18:26] ---**
Meow.
**[18:29] ---**
What sort of cat grins like that?
**[18:32] ---**
All cats grin.
**[18:34] ---**
You don't know much,
Alice, and that's a fact.
**[18:38] ---**
Cats and tigers and people are all the same!
**[18:40] ---**
If you treat them kindly,
they'll give you affection in return!
**[18:44] ---**
Quite right, quite right!
And the trump card is...
**[18:48] ---**
...black pepper!
**[18:53] ---**
I told you...
**[18:55] ---**
...stop it!
**[18:56] ---**
Relations between master and
butler follow the same principle!
**[18:59] ---**
Why, even a high-born Duchess such
as I and a lowly kitchen maid such as you
**[19:04] ---**
might easily develop a
friendship that transcends station!
**[19:08] ---**
Bravo, Duchess!
**[19:11] ---**
It's pointless to speak
with you! I'm leaving!
**[19:16] ---**
Hey.
**[19:18] ---**
Don't you ever waste food!
**[19:21] ---**
The Duchess is quite right.
All foods are gifts from the gods.
**[19:26] ---**
We must not waste even one grain of pepper!
**[19:29] ---**
I see you need to be punished. Go, cook!
**[19:33] ---**
*Jo ājñā*!
**[19:43] ---**
Take that!
**[19:45] ---**
It's a curry bun I prepared in
advance, for just such an occasion!
**[19:49] ---**
Then what were you
mixing all those spices for?!
**[19:52] ---**
Never mind trifles like that.
**[19:54] ---**
Just eat up.
**[19:57] ---**
Well? My cook makes
good curry buns, doesn't she?
**[20:03] ---**
Oh, it's surprisingly good.
**[20:08] ---**
What is it, Alice? Stomachache?
**[20:12] ---**
This is...!
**[20:16] ---**
Is this like what happened to Lizzie earlier?
**[20:36] ---**
It won't stop!
**[20:40] ---**
Duchess!
**[20:41] ---**
Cook!
**[20:43] ---**
Meow, meow!
**[20:48] ---**
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
**[20:53] ---**
Precious lives were sacrificed today.
**[20:55] ---**
Erect a gravestone for
them when you have a chance.
**[20:57] ---**
*Jo ājñā*.
**[20:59] ---**
Incidentally, Duchess, there isn't
much time before your next appointment.
**[21:02] ---**
There's an invitation from the Queen for you.
**[21:05] ---**
Right, let's go, then.
**[21:08] ---**
Farewell, Alice!
**[21:14] ---**
Hold it, you! Turn me
back to normal before you go!
**[21:22] ---**
In through the roof and then
out through the roof again?
**[21:24] ---**
What dreadful manners.
**[21:26] ---**
Poor Alice's appearance had
become exceedingly embarrassing.
**[21:29] ---**
However, against all her expectations,
still greater disgrace awaited her.
**[21:37] ---**
"Chapter Five: The Lizard
Passionately Promises"
**[21:51] ---**
I can't believe him, just leaving his
master without permission like that!
**[22:01] ---**
And when he notices me, he ignores me!
**[22:03] ---**
What happened to that "butler
aesthetic" he likes to talk about?!
**[22:08] ---**
You there! Eiffel Tower! Halt!
**[22:12] ---**
What's that sound?
**[22:13] ---**
No, no, you're looking in
the wrong place! Down here!
**[22:17] ---**
In the shadow of your right shoe!
**[22:20] ---**
Who are you?
**[22:22] ---**
A Lizard policeman who
just happens to be passing by.
**[22:25] ---**
Pleased to meet you, Alice!
**[22:29] ---**
I'm looking for the White Rabbit.
Have you seen him?
**[22:33] ---**
You got split up?
**[22:35] ---**
Then that means you're lost! This is serious!
**[22:38] ---**
Well, I suppose so...
**[22:41] ---**
But it's all right! Not to worry.
**[22:44] ---**
I'll be on your side!
**[22:51] ---**
Well? Do you know the way?
**[22:52] ---**
Hmm...
**[22:54] ---**
Yes or no?!
**[22:55] ---**
Hmm!
**[22:58] ---**
I'm sorry, Alice! It seems
I've brought the wrong map!
**[23:02] ---**
Don't make rash promises
you're not capable of keeping!
**[23:05] ---**
*You* should check your belongings
before you get into trouble.
**[23:10] ---**
My belongings?
**[23:15] ---**
This is...
**[23:16] ---**
It's a magic candy that
will make you feel quite nice.
**[23:19] ---**
If you eat it, something
interesting is sure to happen!
**[23:23] ---**
True, it seems something always
happens when one eats or drinks here...
**[23:28] ---**
But will I grow larger or smaller?
**[23:31] ---**
Either way, I'll be able to get out of this.
**[23:35] ---**
That's the ticket!
**[23:37] ---**
Go! You can do it, Alice!
**[23:40] ---**
Hang in there, Alice! Protect world peace!
**[23:45] ---**
Go, Alice, go!
**[23:50] ---**
Which way?
**[23:52] ---**
Oh, dear, she's let that stuffy
lizard talk her into eating the candy.
**[23:57] ---**
Honestly, Alice is such a glutton.
**[23:59] ---**
What just deserts--pardon me,
I meant "adventures" --lie in store?

**[00:09] ---**
This is Ciel's manor, dear.
**[00:22] ---**
It's a pleasure to see you, Lady Elizabeth.
**[00:26] ---**
Thank you, Sebastian!
**[00:28] ---**
Ciel, Ciel, Ciel!
**[00:31] ---**
We've been expecting you, Miss.
**[00:44] ---**
Dear, this is Ciel, Earl Phantomhive.
**[00:47] ---**
Ciel, this is the friend
I wrote you about in my letter.
**[00:51] ---**
I met her at a ball last month,
but I liked her straight away!
**[00:54] ---**
She knows ever so many things.
**[00:57] ---**
I wanted to introduce her to
you so much, I brought her along!
**[01:00] ---**
What am I to do with you?
**[01:04] ---**
I'm Ciel Phantomhive,
head of the house of Phantomhive.
**[01:08] ---**
I hope you'll enjoy tonight's ball.
**[01:11] ---**
Sebastian, see that she's
offered the utmost hospitality.
**[01:14] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[01:16] ---**
I'm pleased to make your acquaintance, Miss.
**[01:18] ---**
I am Sebastian Michaelis,
butler to the Phantomhives.
**[01:22] ---**
Please enjoy the famed
Phantomhive hospitality.
**[01:27] ---**
Welcome to the Phantomhive manor.
**[01:43] ---**
This is the guest room.
**[01:51] ---**
You say it's lovely? Thank you.
**[01:58] ---**
The furnishings here are
historic masterpieces
**[02:02] ---**
collected by generations of Phantomhives.
**[02:04] ---**
They are all suitable
articles for a gentlewoman,
**[02:07] ---**
so please feel free to use them as you like.
**[02:11] ---**
That's the previous earl,
Vincent Phantomhive, and his wife Rachel.
**[02:20] ---**
Not only were they
passionate about aiding the poor,
**[02:23] ---**
they also worked to improve
medical care and river drainage.
**[02:26] ---**
I'm told they were prominent
figures much beloved by their community.
**[02:31] ---**
The Queen evidently placed a
great deal of trust in them as well.
**[02:34] ---**
You might ask my master
for more details at teatime.
**[02:37] ---**
For now, please wait he--
**[02:41] ---**
Please wait here.
**[02:43] ---**
Pardon me for a moment.
**[02:51] ---**
I knew you three were behind this.
**[02:53] ---**
It's this newfangled burner!
Come on, work, you piece of junk!
**[02:57] ---**
You mustn't come any closer!
**[03:04] ---**
Are you hurt, Miss?
**[03:07] ---**
Sorry about that. I almost
charred things there.
**[03:12] ---**
You *did* char them, yes!
**[03:15] ---**
Are you all right, Sebastian?
**[03:17] ---**
I say, who's that?
**[03:20] ---**
Here.
**[03:22] ---**
She is a friend of Lady Elizabeth's,
**[03:24] ---**
and one of our esteemed
guests at tonight's party.
**[03:28] ---**
She's charming!
**[03:30] ---**
Just like a porcelain doll!
**[03:32] ---**
She's a beaut, she is!
**[03:40] ---**
I'm sorry you had to see that, and
that you were exposed to danger besides.
**[03:42] ---**
I cannot apologize enough.
**[03:45] ---**
Still, I recall asking you to wait here.
**[03:48] ---**
Every household has
places it wants no one to see,
**[03:52] ---**
secrets it wants no one to know.
**[03:57] ---**
Strolling about a manor
you've only just arrived at
**[04:00] ---**
strikes me as a bit ill-mannered.
**[04:04] ---**
However, if you'd like to know
those very things, that's another matter.
**[04:11] ---**
It's your first time at such a large
estate, and you got carried away?
**[04:15] ---**
You have a lively curiosity, don't you, Miss?
**[04:17] ---**
Quite like an innocent
puppy who knows no fear...
**[04:21] ---**
We have a little time before tea.
**[04:24] ---**
May I take the liberty of
showing you around the manor?
**[04:29] ---**
Then with your permission,
I shall escort you.
**[04:33] ---**
Please, give me your hand.
**[04:40] ---**
This is the games room.
**[04:43] ---**
It's furnished with a billiard
table and various other equipment,
**[04:45] ---**
as well as most of the playthings
devised by the Funtom Company,
**[04:49] ---**
in the hopes of affording
our guests a pleasant time here.
**[04:56] ---**
Well, what do we have here?
**[04:59] ---**
I know it's not much, but
please make yourself comfortable.
**[05:02] ---**
Here in the games room, we have
a billiard table, among other things,
**[05:07] ---**
as well as most of the playthings
invented by the Funtom Company,
**[05:10] ---**
so that everyone who enters
can spend a pleasant time here.
**[05:14] ---**
Do make yourself at home.
**[05:17] ---**
Thank you for that detailed explanation.
**[05:20] ---**
Though I must say, it didn't
materially differ from the one I just gave...
**[05:24] ---**
Miss, meet Mr. Lau, head
of the English branch
**[05:28] ---**
of the Chinese trading company Kunlun.
**[05:30] ---**
And this is a friend of Lady Elizabeth's.
**[05:36] ---**
You'd better be careful.
**[05:39] ---**
You see, this place is
crawling with dangerous beasts.
**[05:43] ---**
Take care not to get eaten.
**[05:48] ---**
This is the pride of the
Phantomhive estate: the library.
**[05:53] ---**
The family heads have
enjoyed reading for generations,
**[05:56] ---**
and we pride ourselves on a
collection that rivals those at Oxford--
**[06:02] ---**
Brilliant timing! I was just feeling bored.
**[06:06] ---**
Prince Soma, we're in the
middle of our studies.
**[06:08] ---**
It's important to rest now and then, Agni.
**[06:12] ---**
I don't get the impression
that you were studying...
**[06:16] ---**
Today we've invited Lady
Elizabeth's friend here for tea,
**[06:20] ---**
and she'll be our guest at
a ball we're holding tonight.
**[06:23] ---**
That's her, I take it?
**[06:25] ---**
Miss, meet a friend of my young master's:
**[06:28] ---**
The 26th child of the king of
Bengal, Prince Soma Asman Kadar,
**[06:32] ---**
with his butler Agni.
**[06:34] ---**
*Namaste jī*.
**[06:35] ---**
Prince Soma, this is...
**[06:37] ---**
She's charming!
**[06:38] ---**
Pardon?
**[06:40] ---**
I-I'm Soma Asman Kadar.
I fancy you! Will you be my handmaid?
**[06:47] ---**
Or if you'd like, my... er... w-wife...
**[06:50] ---**
Prince Soma! At last... at last,
you've found your soul mate!
**[06:56] ---**
Your happiness is my happiness!
**[07:00] ---**
O Kali, please, please
bless their future together!
**[07:05] ---**
Agni!
**[07:07] ---**
You mustn't make this young
lady uncomfortable, you two.
**[07:11] ---**
If you wish to propose, please do
so formally at a later point in time...
**[07:16] ---**
It's almost time for tea.
**[07:18] ---**
Shall we go, Miss?
**[07:22] ---**
Today we have a Nilgiri tea, which features
both a refreshing aroma and a rich flavor.
**[07:28] ---**
Nilgiri, eh? That scent brings back memories.
**[07:31] ---**
If I remember rightly, "Nilgiri"
means "blue mountain," doesn't it?
**[07:33] ---**
This tea fetches quite a good price.
**[07:36] ---**
Accompanying it we have a Dundee Cake.
**[07:39] ---**
A batter with rum and dried fruits,
studded with roast almonds.
**[07:45] ---**
Oh, it looks scrumptious!
**[07:50] ---**
Hmm, not bad.
**[07:52] ---**
Thank you, my lord.
**[07:57] ---**
Do you fancy that teacup?
**[08:01] ---**
I say, isn't that...
**[08:04] ---**
Yes, it's a Vienna Rose.
**[08:06] ---**
I thought the flower blooming on this cup
**[08:08] ---**
would set the loveliness of
the young lady off to advantage.
**[08:10] ---**
Don't tell me it's genuine?!
**[08:12] ---**
Yes, it's the genuine article.
Empress Maria Theresa reportedly loved it.
**[08:17] ---**
A fine thing worthy of an earl.
**[08:20] ---**
I can't even imagine what it
would be worth on the open market.
**[08:28] ---**
My dear!
**[08:30] ---**
This is no good.
**[08:31] ---**
Yes, it would be awful
if she'd cracked the cup.
**[08:35] ---**
Sebastian, see that she's all right,
and prepare a change of clothing.
**[08:39] ---**
Give her the frock in the dressing room.
**[08:42] ---**
But young master, that dress...
**[08:45] ---**
It's fine.
**[08:46] ---**
Very good.
**[08:48] ---**
Pardon me, Miss.
**[08:57] ---**
Ordinarily one such as I has no
place seeing or touching your skin,
**[09:04] ---**
but this is an emergency situation.
**[09:18] ---**
Now, please forgive my rudeness.
**[09:22] ---**
That will do nicely, Miss.
**[09:27] ---**
Perhaps that teacup was
a bit too heavy for you.
**[09:31] ---**
I apologize for my lack of consideration.
**[09:35] ---**
If the idea is agreeable to you,
my master would like you to have this dress.
**[09:40] ---**
Please accept it with our compliments.
**[09:45] ---**
Why would we go to such lengths, you ask?
**[09:48] ---**
You are our honored guest.
**[09:50] ---**
It's only right that we should do this much.
**[09:53] ---**
Goodness, the guests for the
ball will be arriving any moment.
**[09:57] ---**
I must excuse myself.
**[09:59] ---**
Please wait in the guest
room with Lady Elizabeth.
**[10:06] ---**
Welcome to the Phantomhive manor.
**[10:09] ---**
Sorry to barge in like this, Ciel.
**[10:10] ---**
Why, it's Inspector Abberline.
**[10:12] ---**
What brings the Yard to my ball?
**[10:15] ---**
There's been a rash of
disappearances happening at balls,
**[10:19] ---**
so I'm here on patrol.
**[10:20] ---**
Disappearances?
**[10:21] ---**
And the criminal is a cowardly
scoundrel who targets only young maidens.
**[10:23] ---**
It's simply unforgivable!
**[10:25] ---**
But you can be sure
Scotland Yard will catch him.
**[10:28] ---**
I ask for your cooperation!
**[10:34] ---**
Ah, your scheduled call.
**[10:36] ---**
You seem to have infiltrated
them successfully.
**[10:38] ---**
She's bloody simple-minded if she
took you for a respectable young lady
**[10:43] ---**
and happily invited you to the Phantomhives.
**[10:47] ---**
Well, you know your job.
**[10:48] ---**
You be sure to kill that damned
butler and bring Ciel Phantomhive to me.
**[10:53] ---**
This is our revenge for
Azzurro and the Ferro family!
**[10:56] ---**
The butler uses strange tricks, so watch out.
**[10:59] ---**
Though I suppose this will be an easy task
**[11:01] ---**
for the expert assassin they
call the "Mad Dog of Venezia."
**[11:11] ---**
So here you are.
**[11:18] ---**
The ball is about to begin.
**[11:22] ---**
Tighter! Make it tighter!
**[11:25] ---**
Today is a special day, so cinch it tightly!
**[11:28] ---**
Yes, my lady...!
**[11:31] ---**
Oh, hello dear!
**[11:34] ---**
Look at this dress! Isn't it just too cute?
**[11:40] ---**
Oh, good! And you look ever so cu--
**[11:44] ---**
This dress...
**[11:52] ---**
It suits you ever so well.
**[11:54] ---**
So make sure Ciel sees you in it...
**[11:58] ---**
...during the ball...
**[12:04] ---**
My lady!
**[12:10] ---**
No need to fear.
**[12:31] ---**
You look darling even asleep.
**[12:34] ---**
I finally have you...
my charming song thrush.
**[12:42] ---**
Welcome to the Phantomhive manor.
**[12:47] ---**
Welcome to the Phantomhive manor.
**[12:50] ---**
She's vanished?!
**[12:52] ---**
Oh, what should we do?
**[12:55] ---**
My lady...
**[12:57] ---**
Take Lady Elizabeth to the guest room.
I'll bring up some warm milk.
**[13:02] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[13:03] ---**
Come on, my lady, here we go.
**[13:10] ---**
There were signs that a sleep-inducing
drug had been pumped into the guest room.
**[13:15] ---**
So he put her to sleep
and then carried her off, eh?
**[13:18] ---**
He's a very bold sort of criminal.
**[13:21] ---**
Not only that, he managed to get past *you*.
**[13:24] ---**
My apologies, my lord. You had
ordered me to entertain our guests.
**[13:31] ---**
Having a visitor stolen from me
would stain the name of "Phantomhive"...
**[13:35] ---**
And of the "Queen's guard dog."
**[13:38] ---**
Sebastian, this is an order: Get her back!
**[13:41] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:49] ---**
We're alone at last, my song thrush.
**[13:52] ---**
Ever since I found you at that ball
the other day and you stole my heart,
**[13:55] ---**
I've been pursuing you.
**[13:58] ---**
What a sinful little bird you are,
to make me so wild for you.
**[14:04] ---**
It's all right; no one will come after us.
**[14:07] ---**
This is the luxury liner I built just
for you: the *Song Thrush's Warble*!
**[14:12] ---**
Come, let us set out for a tropical island!
**[14:15] ---**
We'll run away and live together!
**[14:17] ---**
If you're leaving, do so by yourself.
**[14:19] ---**
You're...!
**[14:21] ---**
So you're behind this, Lord Dru--
**[14:22] ---**
I am the servant of the goddess
of beauty--Masque de Vicomte!
**[14:30] ---**
I'll be taking the young lady
back now, Mr. Masque de Vicomte.
**[14:34] ---**
So our love truly is forbidden, then.
**[14:39] ---**
In that case...!
**[14:40] ---**
My goodness. Poison, is it?
**[14:42] ---**
Let us go together, my song thrush.
**[14:44] ---**
To Heaven, where no one can follow us!
**[14:49] ---**
Over my deadly body, honey!☆
**[14:51] ---**
She's not scheduled to die until
tomorrow, so you can't kill her yet!
**[14:56] ---**
Grell.
**[14:58] ---**
Why, if it isn't Sebas-*chan*!
Fancy meeting *you* here!
**[15:07] ---**
I won't let you stand in the way of our love!
**[15:14] ---**
Miss...
**[15:20] ---**
There's nothing to be
afraid of, if we're together.
**[15:26] ---**
Does he mean to take
that woman down with him?!
**[15:29] ---**
What a nuisance he is.
**[15:31] ---**
We who live for forbidden
love shall be wed in Heaven!
**[15:35] ---**
Just like Tristan and Isolde!
**[15:38] ---**
Let us pass away together as
this dream ends, my song thrush.
**[15:43] ---**
I believe I've already told you:
**[15:47] ---**
If you're leaving, do so by yourself.
**[15:51] ---**
You thrill me, Sebas-*chan*.
**[15:55] ---**
I thrill and throb!
I'm going to spin it more than usual!
**[16:03] ---**
U-Unbelievable!
**[16:12] ---**
Song thrush! I love--
**[16:25] ---**
A mere "servant of the goddess of beauty"
**[16:27] ---**
doesn't stand a chance
against a grim reaper and a demon!
**[16:32] ---**
Awake, Miss?
**[16:35] ---**
Thank goodness you're all right.
**[16:37] ---**
Say, Sebas-*chan*, I lent a hand too, right?
**[16:41] ---**
So won't you hold me in your arms too?
**[16:46] ---**
Good grief, I cannot believe you
made me come all the way out here.
**[16:50] ---**
Will?!
**[16:51] ---**
How long will you play about
before you do your work, Grell Sutcliff?
**[16:55] ---**
Ooh, wouldn't I love to play with Sebas-*chan*!
**[16:59] ---**
We could get oiled up and
have a nice, slippery roll in the...
**[17:01] ---**
Wait, I *am* working!
**[17:09] ---**
Would you be kind enough
to tell me your name?
**[17:19] ---**
What was that for?!
**[17:20] ---**
This soul isn't scheduled for death.
**[17:24] ---**
Pardon?
**[17:24] ---**
Look closely at the spelling.
The two names are one letter off.
**[17:29] ---**
You have the wrong person.
**[17:30] ---**
Oh no, I got it wrong?
I'm such a silly-billy.
**[17:33] ---**
Honestly, it's such hard work
having an addlebrained colleague...
**[17:38] ---**
We're leaving.
**[17:39] ---**
If we dawdle, the soul we're meant
to reap might be stolen as well...
**[17:44] ---**
...by some demon.
**[17:46] ---**
Do be careful on your way home.
The sea is dangerous at night.
**[17:52] ---**
Hurry up and paddle, won't you?
**[17:54] ---**
Oh, you're a slave-driver!
**[17:57] ---**
Ta-ta, Sebas-*chan*! Bye-bye, seaweed pie!
**[18:02] ---**
Shall we head back to the estate, then?
**[18:06] ---**
Be sure not to tell anyone what you just saw.
**[18:10] ---**
Oh, my dear, I'm so glad you're all right!
**[18:13] ---**
Lizzie, let's let her rest for a while.
**[18:16] ---**
Yes.
**[18:21] ---**
Goodness, that poor girl!
**[18:24] ---**
But she's so charming, I can see
why a man might want to kidnap her.
**[18:53] ---**
You mustn't wake him up.
**[18:57] ---**
While I was away,
**[18:58] ---**
my young master was forced
to entertain all the guests alone.
**[19:02] ---**
Moreover, it seems he took pains
to prevent anyone from finding out
**[19:06] ---**
what had happened in this very manor.
**[19:08] ---**
It must have quite worn him out.
**[19:11] ---**
My apologies, young master.
**[19:16] ---**
You look as though you're wondering why.
**[19:20] ---**
I listened to your entire telephone call.
**[19:25] ---**
Your lithe figure, and the heavy
scent of death rising from your skin...
**[19:30] ---**
I see now. Who could suppose
you were the Ferros' hired assassin?
**[19:35] ---**
What a villain you are,
**[19:37] ---**
using Lady Elizabeth to
infiltrate the Phantomhive estate.
**[19:41] ---**
That would explain your unfamiliarity
with mansions and tea parties.
**[19:46] ---**
I'm glad I gave you a tour of the manor.
**[19:49] ---**
Because you came to this room,
**[19:52] ---**
I can dispose of you without anyone noticing.
**[20:00] ---**
Why, where are you going?
**[20:02] ---**
Sebastian?
**[20:04] ---**
Was I asleep?
**[20:06] ---**
Yes, with your mouth hanging
open in the most undignified way.
**[20:09] ---**
You could have woken me, then.
I don't care for your sense of humor.
**[20:13] ---**
Hmm? You're...
**[20:15] ---**
She's come to offer you her thanks.
**[20:17] ---**
Ah, I see.
**[20:25] ---**
Please accept my apologies.
**[20:26] ---**
You suffered a terrible
experience because of our lax security.
**[20:31] ---**
As head of the house of Phantomhive,
I bear responsibility for all of this.
**[20:38] ---**
If you can find it in your heart
to forgive me, take my hand.
**[20:41] ---**
The ball in your honor has yet to begin.
**[20:52] ---**
Happy Birthday!
**[20:56] ---**
I present to you today's guest of honor.
**[21:04] ---**
Well, what do we have here?
**[21:06] ---**
That dress suits you splendidly!
**[21:08] ---**
All of these people gathered
to celebrate your birthday, dear!
**[21:14] ---**
My young master and Lady
Elizabeth have been secretly planning
**[21:18] ---**
this surprise party for you.
**[21:21] ---**
I assume the date you gave Lady
Elizabeth wasn't your real birthday?
**[21:26] ---**
However, today has become a special day,
**[21:29] ---**
not only for her, but for the
Phantomhive household as well.
**[21:33] ---**
Here it is, Sebastian!
**[21:35] ---**
Thank you for waiting!
**[21:37] ---**
Oh, that cake is amazing!
**[21:40] ---**
We pulled out all the stops to
make you a memorable cake, Miss.
**[21:44] ---**
All right, Sebastian, now you sing!
**[21:47] ---**
Me, my lady? I fear it would be presumptuous.
**[21:50] ---**
Whenever there's a
birthday cake, someone must sing!
**[21:53] ---**
Please? Do it for her!
**[21:55] ---**
I couldn't refuse a request
from you, Lady Elizabeth.
**[21:59] ---**
Very well.
**[22:01] ---**
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
**[22:04] ---**
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
**[22:09] ---**
♪ Happy birthday dear... ♪
**[22:14] ---**
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
**[22:25] ---**
Miss...
**[22:27] ---**
Your wrist must still
hurt where I gripped it.
**[22:31] ---**
With your permission, I'll assist you.
**[22:38] ---**
This birthday cake was
baked for you, you know.
**[22:41] ---**
Here, say "ah."
**[22:46] ---**
Now, the ball is beginning.
**[22:52] ---**
It appears that you and I are
the only ones without partners.
**[22:59] ---**
Shall I lead you through the steps?
**[23:02] ---**
I dare say you're not
familiar with balls, either.
**[23:10] ---**
That's right: stay relaxed...
**[23:13] ---**
Be serene, just as you are
when you're killing someone.
**[23:17] ---**
You look as though you'd like
to ask me why I don't kill you.
**[23:21] ---**
My duty as butler is to ensure
that this ball goes off without a hitch.
**[23:27] ---**
I don't like to sully my carefully
planned ball with human blood,
**[23:31] ---**
and my master ordered
me to offer you hospitality.
**[23:36] ---**
If you were to come after him again,
I would kill you without mercy.
**[23:42] ---**
However, any time you are a guest here,
**[23:45] ---**
I shall show you the utmost hospitality.
**[23:48] ---**
Do you understand me?
If so, give a little yelp for me.
**[23:51] ---**
Say "woof," just like a dog.
**[23:56] ---**
Good girl. Now, this
promise will be our little secret.
**[24:03] ---**
Am I a colleague, you ask?
**[24:06] ---**
No, I am no assassin.
**[24:10] ---**
I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[24:17] ---**
Ciel... And my dear...
**[24:22] ---**
Lizzie seems to be quite taken with you.
**[24:26] ---**
I'm glad to have met you as well.
**[24:29] ---**
That dress belonged to my late
mother, but I'd like you to have it.
**[24:35] ---**
Your carriage is ready, Miss.
**[24:42] ---**
Thank you for coming today.
I hope to see you here again.
**[24:47] ---**
We'll always be ready to welcome
you to the Phantomhive manor.
**[24:53] ---**
For now, good night.
**[25:09] ---**
That was far too much trouble.
**[25:11] ---**
I apologize, my lord.
**[25:15] ---**
I'm tired. Bring me some tea.
**[25:17] ---**
Certainly.

*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[00:17] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[00:24] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[00:32] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[00:35] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[00:42] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[00:48] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[00:56] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[01:03] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[01:11] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[01:19] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[01:27] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[02:05] ---**
*In 2008, the legendary work Black Butler*
**[02:10] ---**
"*Black Butler*"
**[02:11] ---**
*drew audiences into a whirlpool
of excitement and fanaticism.*
**[02:34] ---**
*Its dazzling characters, stylish visuals,*
**[02:40] ---**
*impressive action scenes,
and beautiful yet cruel story*
**[02:45] ---**
*won it enthusiastic fans and gave
birth to a global social phenomenon.*
**[03:00] ---**
*Black Butler.*
**[03:04] ---**
*Black Butler.*
**[03:08] ---**
*Black Butler.*
**[03:11] ---**
*Black Butler.*
**[03:17] ---**
I'm home!
**[03:18] ---**
Mommy, I'm hungry!
**[03:20] ---**
Nagayama-en proudly presents
"*Black Butler* Rice Seasoning."
**[03:25] ---**
We have curry as well, young master.
**[03:28] ---**
"And N.Y. Once Again"
**[03:37] ---**
*And now, in 2010, the silence is broken...*
**[03:43] ---**
*...and the legend is reborn!*
**[03:45] ---**
*Black Butler II is publicly unveiled at last!*
**[03:52] ---**
*In this program, I'll be
taking you behind the scenes.*
**[04:33] ---**
I had no interest in doing a sequel.
**[04:35] ---**
What would be the point of
doing the same thing twice?
**[04:40] ---**
That's right, my young
master wasn't keen on the idea.
**[04:44] ---**
He said that sequels
weren't truly creative works.
**[04:48] ---**
I only went to the studio
**[04:50] ---**
because I felt it would be rude to
say no without hearing them out first.
**[04:54] ---**
However...
**[04:55] ---**
The staff had scripts ready for me.
They asked me to read them.
**[04:59] ---**
And they said if I turned them down
after that, they would accept defeat.
**[05:03] ---**
Their eyes were earnest.
**[05:16] ---**
It was a story worth performing in.
That's all there is to it.
**[05:20] ---**
Me, Sir? I have no opinions.
**[05:23] ---**
I only abide by what my
young master has decided.
**[05:26] ---**
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
**[05:29] ---**
*They agreed to take part.*
**[05:31] ---**
*However, to resurrect the
legend, more help was needed.*
**[05:36] ---**
*Yes: the help of the comrades*
**[05:38] ---**
*who had created the
original legend along with them.*
**[05:43] ---**
Guuuuuuuuuyyysss!
**[05:47] ---**
Long time, no see!
**[05:49] ---**
We came back to *Black Butler*, yes!
**[05:54] ---**
"Away on Business"
**[05:56] ---**
W-W-W-Wonderful!
**[05:59] ---**
*Black Butler* is back! It's the
veritable Big Bang of the TV world!
**[06:04] ---**
And so, let us toast this miracle.
**[06:10] ---**
A sequel seemed unimaginable, frankly.
**[06:13] ---**
Right, Ran-Mao?
**[06:17] ---**
Especially considering
how the original show ended.
**[06:18] ---**
But that might be exactly why
there's meaning in doing a sequel.
**[06:22] ---**
Oh? Why?
**[06:24] ---**
Audiences always want to be surprised.
**[06:27] ---**
To develop a story out of an ending
like that is the work of a true pro.
**[06:30] ---**
I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
**[06:33] ---**
Yes, so do I!
**[06:36] ---**
So, how *did* the original one end?
**[06:40] ---**
I mean, I only watched
the parts I was in, you know?
**[06:46] ---**
"Green Room"
**[06:49] ---**
You never change.
**[06:54] ---**
How could we *not* be in the sequel?
**[06:56] ---**
After all, Ciel is like a brother
to me. I have to look after him.
**[07:00] ---**
I'm counting on you, Agni.
**[07:01] ---**
*Jo ājñā*!
**[07:03] ---**
Though we haven't filmed together yet,
**[07:06] ---**
I look forward to seeing my friend, too.
**[07:49] ---**
Don't film me.
**[07:56] ---**
I don't have my makeup on,
so don't you dare film me!
**[07:59] ---**
*An appealing story needs an appealing rival.*
**[08:04] ---**
*These two will be the ones to make
Ciel and Sebastian suffer this time.*
**[08:10] ---**
Yes, I'd seen the original series.
**[08:12] ---**
The boy I'm playing is out to get Ciel.
**[08:15] ---**
Well, or maybe Sebastian?
**[08:17] ---**
Please look forward to
seeing me take down that brat Ciel
**[08:20] ---**
like the piece of shit he is.
**[08:34] ---**
I wasn't familiar with it.
**[08:36] ---**
I don't care about this sort of thing.
**[08:40] ---**
Whatever. It's my job.
**[08:47] ---**
Hi there! I'm Thompson!
**[08:50] ---**
I'm Timber.
**[08:52] ---**
I'm Canterbury.
**[08:55] ---**
And as you see, there's no
consistency between them!
**[08:58] ---**
There's really just one of me.
I'm doing three roles!
**[09:01] ---**
And I'm only getting paid
as one. But I'll do my best!
**[09:07] ---**
An interview?
**[09:09] ---**
I do apologize, but may I have a moment?
**[09:13] ---**
"Two Months Earlier"
**[09:14] ---**
"One Week Earlier"
**[09:16] ---**
"The Previous Night"
One, two...
**[09:18] ---**
"One Hour Earlier"
**[09:20] ---**
"On Set"
**[09:25] ---**
One, two, three...
***SIGN*** "Actions speak louder than words. Actors do not speak; they perform. I respectfully refuse all interviews. --Claude Faustus"
**[09:51] ---**
*The actors have gathered.
Time to begin filming.*
**[09:54] ---**
"First Day of Filming"
**[10:09] ---**
Okay, we're going to start filming!
**[10:12] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive as "Ciel" and
Sebastian Michaelis as "Sebastian"!
**[10:17] ---**
We'll start with your scenes! Get in here!
**[10:20] ---**
Welcome back!
**[10:20] ---**
Good to work with you again!
**[10:31] ---**
If we're going to do this, we're
going to surpass the first season.
**[10:33] ---**
That's all.
**[10:34] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[10:41] ---**
It's you.
**[10:41] ---**
I've just been *dying* to see you!☆
**[10:47] ---**
So you've been pulling the
strings behind the scenes, Grell?
**[10:50] ---**
All I've been pulling are the red
threads of fate that bind our hearts!
**[10:56] ---**
"Finished Video"
**[10:56] ---**
This isn't the blocking we talked about...
**[10:58] ---**
"But in reality..."
**[11:10] ---**
These actually bite into
the skin quite painfully.
**[11:21] ---**
Rolling!
**[11:23] ---**
Action!
**[11:42] ---**
You stay away...
**[11:46] ---**
...from my Sebas-*chan*!
**[11:52] ---**
Cut!
**[11:54] ---**
Ash. Angela.
**[11:57] ---**
Those movements were *filthy*.
**[12:00] ---**
Let's change the order.
First Claude will come in from the right.
**[12:04] ---**
That was great, Hannah.
**[12:05] ---**
Whatever.
**[12:10] ---**
In the first season we appeared onstage
as well, but we're primarily action directors.
**[12:15] ---**
I direct the men...
**[12:16] ---**
...and I direct the women.
**[12:20] ---**
I also do Sebastian's stunts
in the more dangerous scenes.
**[12:24] ---**
Likewise, I do stunts for Grell and Hannah.
**[12:26] ---**
I do the majority of my
scenes myself, however.
**[12:30] ---**
Even if that's the Phantomfive--
**[12:33] ---**
Sorry. Give me another shot at it.
**[12:35] ---**
"Take 2"
**[12:35] ---**
Even if that's the Hansom--
**[12:37] ---**
"Take 3"
**[12:37] ---**
Even if that's the Phantam--
**[12:39] ---**
Even if that's the Hya--
**[12:39] ---**
"Take 4"
**[12:43] ---**
Get it together, you sorry
excuse for an actor!
**[12:45] ---**
Well, look at that. He's
perfect for the role.
**[12:49] ---**
--Cheer! Cheer!
--Please calm down, my prince.
**[12:51] ---**
Phantomhive! Phantomhive!
Phantomhive! Phantomhive!
**[12:56] ---**
Okay.
**[12:57] ---**
"Take 5"
**[12:57] ---**
Even if that's the Phantomhive way,
**[13:00] ---**
I still believe in Ciel!
**[13:01] ---**
"He did it!!"
**[13:06] ---**
Oh, so sorry!
**[13:08] ---**
You're good. That was superb timing.
**[13:10] ---**
*Filming proceeds peacefully.*
**[13:13] ---**
*The teamwork between
the cast and staff is excellent.*
**[13:18] ---**
*However, we mustn't get complacent.*
**[13:20] ---**
*There is a monster lurking in the wings.*
**[13:23] ---**
*The monster called "Accident."*
**[13:32] ---**
Oh, what tragedy!
**[13:35] ---**
To think that the set would be
destroyed by a torrential downpour!
**[13:39] ---**
In the face of Mother Nature, human
efforts are fleeting and insubstantial!
**[13:44] ---**
Yes, this is the modern-day
Mu, the legend of Atlantis!
**[13:48] ---**
And so, a toast to the
cancellation of filming!
**[13:53] ---**
This line is entirely unsatisfactory.
**[13:56] ---**
How are you people
interpreting Claude's character?
**[14:00] ---**
We need to meet with the screenwriter and--
**[14:05] ---**
What do you think you're filming?
**[14:16] ---**
Call for an ambulance!
**[14:17] ---**
Over here! Hurry up!
**[14:19] ---**
Hey, turn that off! Get out of here, you cad!
**[14:22] ---**
It's comforting to think that my
young master wasn't hurt, at least.
**[14:25] ---**
*That day, Sebastian fractured
bones in his right ankle: a serious injury.*
**[14:34] ---**
*However...*
**[14:36] ---**
*He returned to the set the very next day,*
**[14:38] ---**
*and kept the injury a
secret until filming wrapped.*
**[14:42] ---**
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do that much isn't worth his salt.
**[14:47] ---**
Home shopping with the
Grim Reaper Cultural Center.
**[14:52] ---**
Today we're presenting a
super-high-performance pruning hook.
**[14:57] ---**
It can reach any plant, no
matter how high up or far away.
**[15:03] ---**
It can cut down a hundred people.
**[15:06] ---**
It telescopes at the touch
of a button for easy storage.
**[15:09] ---**
If you order now, we'll throw
in this lawn mower for free.
**[15:12] ---**

**[15:16] ---**
Yes, the "fatal fours." Call now.
**[15:19] ---**
We'll also provide a receipt.
**[15:23] ---**
It's *Charge! Lizzie's

**[15:28] ---**
I'm Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford.

"Camerawork by Elizabeth"
**[15:31] ---**
Call me "Lizzie"!
**[15:33] ---**
Today I'm going to take you
behind the scenes of the show's filming!
**[15:40] ---**
You're breaking my concentration. Go away.
**[15:43] ---**
Oh, not that old excuse again!
**[15:48] ---**
Randall to the death.☆
**[15:51] ---**
And here, as you can see, we have snacks!
**[15:55] ---**
He really loves his snacks. How cute!
**[16:00] ---**
What?
**[16:01] ---**
It's Marmite!
**[16:03] ---**
I'm obsessed with the
stuff lately. I eat a jar a day!
**[16:09] ---**
Before that it was vegetable
juice, wasn't it?
**[16:12] ---**
So, Lau, what are you doing over there?
**[16:15] ---**
Oh, he's always like that.
**[16:19] ---**
Enjoy.
**[16:21] ---**
This is great! Soma and
Agni brought home-made curry!
**[16:25] ---**
Agni poured his heart into
making this curry. Savor it!
**[16:29] ---**
Okay!
**[16:31] ---**
Sebastian!
**[16:33] ---**
Happy birthday!
**[16:39] ---**
I'm Thompson! Have some cake!
**[16:41] ---**
They insisted we celebrate. I had no choice.
**[16:44] ---**
You'd better be grateful!
**[16:46] ---**
This is...
**[16:47] ---**
Well, I'll be.
**[16:48] ---**
"Happy Birthday Tianseba"
**[16:48] ---**
Happy birthday!
**[16:51] ---**
Why does that A.D., Edward or
whoever, act like such a big shot?
**[16:56] ---**
I hear he comes from a noble family.
**[17:01] ---**
Hey, this is good.
**[17:03] ---**
Oh, I'll have some, too!
**[17:05] ---**
You can't, no!
**[17:05] ---**
The camerawoman has to do her job.
**[17:07] ---**
What?! But I want cake!
**[17:11] ---**
And now we'll visit the ladies!
**[17:16] ---**
Strip.
**[17:17] ---**
"Self-Imposed Broadcast Restrictions"
"Please enjoy with sound only for the time being."
**[17:17] ---**
I'll change my own clothes, yes!
**[17:21] ---**
First up is Ran-Mao!
**[17:27] ---**
We're taping this, Father!
**[17:30] ---**
Amazing!
**[17:32] ---**
Don't worry, you look adorable!
**[17:36] ---**
Okay, next up is Mey-Rin!
**[17:43] ---**
Now just look at this, Father!
**[17:49] ---**
Cute, cute, *cute*!
**[17:53] ---**
"Lovely Fortunetelling"
"Today your luck is... BAD"
**[17:56] ---**
What?
**[17:57] ---**
N-N-Nothing!
**[18:00] ---**
This is the CG studio.
**[18:05] ---**
We're creating the CG for the train now.
**[18:12] ---**
Hey, wait... aren't you...?
**[18:16] ---**
Abberline, the director wants you.
**[18:19] ---**
Coming! All right, I'll see you later.
**[18:25] ---**
God, this is trash.
**[18:30] ---**
Oh, dear, I didn't know
the camera was rolling!
**[18:35] ---**
I'll give this show my all.
**[18:36] ---**
Oh, Grell!
**[18:39] ---**
I told you... don't film me
when I don't have my makeup on!
**[18:51] ---**
So we sang for ourselves...
the theme song for *Black Butler II*.
**[18:55] ---**
So I composed it for myself...
**[18:57] ---**
I got a mental image of it through
talking with Ciel and Sebastian.
**[19:01] ---**
The result was a great song.
**[19:05] ---**
We are not a "visual-kei" band!
**[19:07] ---**
We're "Dro & Cell"!
**[19:08] ---**
There's nobody else in this
world with a sound like Dro & Cell's.
**[19:11] ---**
We're Dro & Cell, and Dro & Cell is us,
and the Dro & Cell sound is our sound!
**[19:17] ---**
So I say to him, "Pluto, stop it!"
**[19:20] ---**
No, boy! Bad boy! No, bo--!
**[19:26] ---**
No, boy! Bad boy! Okay, boy!
**[19:30] ---**
Good boy! Good boy! No, boy!
**[19:33] ---**
Bad boy! Okay, boy! Good boy! No, boy!
**[19:38] ---**
Bad boy! Okay, boy!
**[19:45] ---**
*The actors and the staff...*
**[19:52] ---**
*...bring all of their combined
passion and skill to bear.*
**[19:56] ---**
*It's the long-awaited new series
that will go out to the whole world!*
**[19:59] ---**
*A legend is about to awaken!*
**[20:03] ---**
*Alois Trancy, a mysterious
boy who appears before Ciel,*
**[20:08] ---**
*and Claude, his butler.*
**[20:11] ---**
*Who are they?*
**[20:14] ---**
*What is Sebastian after?*
**[20:16] ---**
*And what in the world happened to Ciel?*
**[20:22] ---**
The plot just keeps thickening, yes!
**[20:24] ---**
I'm a moron, so I don't really get it.
**[20:26] ---**
Ditto!
**[20:27] ---**
I fully believe you'll all
be satisfied with the series.
**[20:32] ---**
I don't make mistakes.
**[20:35] ---**
*The story accelerates faster and faster.*
**[20:57] ---**
You're pathetic, Ciel Phantomhive.
**[21:00] ---**
Who are you?!
**[21:07] ---**
*Please be all right, Ciel!*
**[21:38] ---**
*Intense action!*
**[21:42] ---**
C-Ciel...
**[21:44] ---**
Lizzie!
**[21:46] ---**
*The looming terror of death!*
**[21:50] ---**
I didn't want to fight you.
**[21:54] ---**
I don't care about laughter anymore.
**[22:01] ---**
*A fated showdown!*
**[22:19] ---**
*A loss of innocence...*
**[22:23] ---**
Young master...
**[22:25] ---**
*And--*
**[22:32] ---**
*London faces crisis once again!*
**[22:42] ---**
Haven't you ever wondered
about your family's destiny?
**[22:47] ---**
About your family's secrets?
**[22:49] ---**
Secrets, you say?
**[22:58] ---**
I won't let you have the Queen's black tears.
**[23:01] ---**
Isn't that right, Ran-Mao?
**[23:03] ---**
What's the meaning of this?!
**[23:05] ---**
My real name is Vincent Phantomhive.
**[23:08] ---**
I am your father.
**[23:11] ---**
Dad, stop!
**[23:14] ---**
If... If you're going to kill
my brother Ciel, kill me too!
**[23:19] ---**
I refuse to allow my son and
grandson to fight a death match!
**[23:24] ---**
Mey-Rin? Father?!
**[23:27] ---**
I've been looking for you.
**[23:29] ---**
I'm glad I finally get
to see you, little brother.
**[23:32] ---**
Big brother!
**[23:35] ---**
Do you remember this?
**[23:40] ---**
That's my dead mother's pendant!
**[23:42] ---**
Does that mean you... No! It's not true!
**[23:45] ---**
When this battle is over,
let's go back to our homeland.
**[23:49] ---**
We'll see the sparkling
Ganges again together!
**[23:52] ---**
My prince...
**[24:06] ---**
I came here from the
future. The 23rd century.
**[24:10] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis, I am your
and Ciel's... your and Ciel's...
**[24:17] ---**
It's all right. I know he'll come back.
**[24:22] ---**
After all, I'm carrying his...
**[24:24] ---**
Day into night, tranquility into the
maelstrom of war, and the moon into Earth.
**[24:36] ---**
This is what makes a Trancy butler.
**[24:38] ---**
Go, moon! Turn the Earth
into a world of darkness!
**[24:46] ---**
We must not allow any more
young lives to be sacrificed.
**[24:58] ---**
It seems the time has come for us to go.
**[25:03] ---**
We shall give our lives for their future!

it right out of the solar system.
**[26:02] ---**
I leave the rest to you, butler.
**[26:16] ---**
*I wasn't able to serve you to the
end as I vowed. Please forgive me...*

...my young master.

Sebastian!

"We made that up. We're sorry."
**[26:53] ---**
"We're putting all we've
got into producing it."
**[27:08] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[27:15] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[27:22] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[27:28] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[27:35] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[27:42] ---**

Our story so far:
**[00:23] ---**
Alice fell into Wonderland
while chasing the White Rabbit.
**[00:27] ---**
There, she...
**[00:30] ---**
...got soaked wet as a
drowned rat in a pool of tears...
**[00:35] ---**
...got spun in circles by
a perverted Mock Turtle...
**[00:39] ---**
...had her mouth stuffed full of curry bun...
**[00:46] ---**
...and shamelessly erected
her Eiffel Tower in public.
**[00:52] ---**
Poor Alice was growing quite sick of
Wonderland after these awful experiences...
**[00:57] ---**
...but if anything, her trials were
about to become even more grueling.
**[01:13] ---**
"Chapter Six: The Caterpillar Talks of Joy"
**[01:34] ---**
Blast it, where did the White Rabbit go?!
**[01:37] ---**
And why the devil am I this size?
**[01:47] ---**
It seems you've finally found this place.
**[01:54] ---**
Who are you?
**[01:57] ---**
I'm the Caterpillar.
**[01:59] ---**
I rather thought this day might come.
I've been eagerly waiting.
**[02:03] ---**
Waiting? Do you know what I should do, then?
**[02:07] ---**
Hmm? I haven't the least idea what you mean.
**[02:11] ---**
Quit evading the issue and just tell me!
**[02:23] ---**
The right side will make you grow taller,
**[02:25] ---**
and the left side will make you grow shorter.
**[02:27] ---**
That's the law of the land here.
**[02:29] ---**
What is that supposed to mean?
**[02:31] ---**
Mushroom.
**[02:33] ---**
Mushroom?
**[02:35] ---**
Mushroom.
**[02:44] ---**
Wh-What are you going to do?
**[02:48] ---**
Suck.
**[02:50] ---**
Stop--
**[03:02] ---**
Goodness, you're all grown up.
**[03:05] ---**
Enough games! Put me
back to normal this instant!
**[03:08] ---**
What? But that would be such a waste!
**[03:10] ---**
There are *ever* so many
pleasures that only adults can savor...
**[03:15] ---**
Just put me back!
**[03:18] ---**
Mushroom.
**[03:25] ---**
I-Isn't there another way to do this?
**[03:27] ---**
Oh, why not relax and enjoy it?
**[03:32] ---**
Suck.
**[03:43] ---**
This isn't right either!
**[03:45] ---**
What?! But that form comes
with its own unique pleasures...
**[03:50] ---**
You're so picky.
**[03:52] ---**
Just put me back! Or I'll crush you!
**[03:55] ---**
All right, all right.
**[03:58] ---**
Valley.
**[04:09] ---**
So in the end, I'm just the way I was before?
**[04:11] ---**
By the way--
**[04:14] ---**
Ali... Hmm, what was your name, again?
**[04:17] ---**
You've been talking to me
without even knowing that?
**[04:26] ---**
Well, you were in such a
hurry to get larger and smaller!
**[04:31] ---**
And you hardly know yourself
who you are anymore, do you?
**[04:37] ---**
I am Ciel Phantomhive!
**[04:40] ---**
Hmm, really? That doesn't
seem to fit, somehow.
**[04:45] ---**
And I'm looking for the White Rabbit.
**[04:48] ---**
Oh! Well, why didn't
you say so in the first place?
**[04:52] ---**
Do you know where he is?!
**[04:55] ---**
Haven't the foggiest!
**[04:58] ---**
I've had enough of you!
**[05:04] ---**
This was an utter waste of time.
Delayed by a useless caterpillar--
**[05:08] ---**
"Useless"? Is that really what you think?
**[05:13] ---**
What do you mean?
**[05:15] ---**
I am the Caterpillar.
**[05:17] ---**
And what shall happen, in time?
**[05:20] ---**
Presently I'll turn into a chrysalis,
and after that--you know, don't you?
**[05:27] ---**
You don't mean...?
**[05:30] ---**
You can come along, Alice.
Time to spread those wings...
**[05:37] ---**
Now!
**[05:44] ---**
*She's* the one transforming?!
**[05:58] ---**
The more one hurries, the later one becomes.
**[06:01] ---**
The more intently one pursues,
the greater the distance grows.
**[06:04] ---**
At that rate, not only will they never meet;
**[06:06] ---**
I imagine they'll have trouble
even passing each other by.
**[06:10] ---**
We'll set aside the question of
why the mushroom had wings...
**[06:13] ---**
At any rate, Alice flew through the sky
once more, carried needlessly far away.
**[06:18] ---**
She was an excessively fast woman.
**[06:23] ---**
"Chapter Seven: The Cheshire-Cat
Stands on Its Hind Legs"
**[06:56] ---**
Blast her for letting go
of me there, of all places!
**[06:59] ---**
Mr. Rabbit! Mr. Rabbit!
Where are you, Mr. Rabbit?
**[07:13] ---**
Meow...
**[07:16] ---**
Show your whole self or don't
come at all! Don't do it by halves!
**[07:20] ---**
Or I'll teach you a lesson!
**[07:23] ---**
Ah, but I'm a creature of halves!
Who can say if I'm woman or man?
**[07:29] ---**
And that's why I'm punished! Yes, I see!
**[07:32] ---**
Enough cant! Come out here!
**[07:35] ---**
You look troubled!
**[07:37] ---**
Depending on the circumstances,
I might be willing to help you.
**[07:42] ---**
I'm sure you're just as useless
as everyone else I've met today.
**[07:46] ---**
Cruelty! Such cruelty! And after
I came here to show you the way, too!
**[07:51] ---**
Let me ask you this, then:
which way ought I to go from here?
**[08:03] ---**
Well? Which one do I take?
**[08:05] ---**
Personally, I'd take *both*!
A boy in every port!
**[08:12] ---**
I couldn't possibly narrow it down
to just one; it'd be such a shame!
**[08:15] ---**
After all, they may be very different types,
**[08:17] ---**
but they're both thrillingly handsome!
**[08:22] ---**
I'm not asking about your taste in men!
**[08:25] ---**
I'm asking you which path I ought to choose!
**[08:28] ---**
*Being* loved is the easiest path,
yet I always choose to be the lover!
**[08:35] ---**
A poor, lost kitten am I.
**[08:38] ---**
You're lost when you're supposed
to be showing me the way?
**[08:42] ---**
Love is a labyrinth, you know.
**[08:47] ---**
Where has the red thread of my fate gone?
**[08:53] ---**
I don't much care where I go,
so long as I get somewhere.
**[08:58] ---**
Well, no need to worry: whichever
way you go, you'll only find a madman.
**[09:03] ---**
And I'm simply *mad
*about those madmen, you see!
**[09:08] ---**
Can't I refuse to go either way?
**[09:12] ---**
Dear me, can you afford to be so picky?
**[09:18] ---**
It's show time!
**[09:21] ---**
Ah, I'm on fire!
**[09:25] ---**
The Y-junction of a lost boy in love...
**[09:28] ---**
Y!
**[09:30] ---**
...twists and turns until it's an M.
**[09:32] ---**
M!
**[09:34] ---**
When all's said and done,
it's a single-hearted I!
**[09:40] ---**
And this Cat is asking for you by name.
**[09:56] ---**
Now, don't you think we've at least
put to rest any fear of getting lost?
**[10:03] ---**
So there are no choices now, then?
**[10:06] ---**
You're dead right about that!☆
**[10:09] ---**
The best time to snag your
prey is the moment you want it.
**[10:12] ---**
Now then, I must be off on my hunt for love.
**[10:16] ---**
Give my best to the
White Rabbit! Bye-bye, meow!
**[10:20] ---**
Wait a moment!
**[10:24] ---**
What now?
**[10:25] ---**
You just mentioned the
White Rabbit. Where did he go?
**[10:29] ---**
So you're desperate to see him?
**[10:32] ---**
N-No, I didn't say that...
**[10:35] ---**
Are you desperate to see him?
**[10:38] ---**
I...
**[10:39] ---**
Why are you chasing the
White Rabbit, of all things?
**[10:44] ---**
Why...?
**[10:52] ---**
Because he's my butler!
**[10:55] ---**
He belongs to me.
**[10:57] ---**
So I'll get him back. That's all.
**[11:00] ---**
That's just not fair! I
want him too, you know!
**[11:03] ---**
Look, right now I'm even one
of his beloved pussy cats! Meow!
**[11:08] ---**
You can disappear now.
**[11:09] ---**
But you know, if the White Rabbit prefers,
**[11:14] ---**
I could always play the role of
*tomcat* and let him be the pussy!
**[11:16] ---**
Yes! Anytime!
**[11:18] ---**
Shut it, you poof.
**[11:19] ---**
Cruelty! Such cruelty!
*You're* the one who told me to wait!
**[11:23] ---**
Which reminds me--you never answered
my question! Where is he right now?
**[11:28] ---**
You'll see him straight away, never fear.
**[11:31] ---**
Eventually, if you walk straight,
straight, straight that way...
**[11:39] ---**
And now this really is bye-bye, meow!
**[11:48] ---**
"Straight that way," eh?
**[11:54] ---**
Alice's "guide" had never been
inclined to serve in that capacity;
**[11:58] ---**
really he was simply a
whore for... attention.
**[12:04] ---**
With only one road, poor Alice
had no choice but to go forward.
**[12:11] ---**

"Chapter Eight: The Hatter
Sweetens Things Up"
**[12:42] ---**
No room.
**[12:44] ---**
No room at all.
**[12:50] ---**
Come now, don't say that. Have a seat.
**[12:52] ---**
Don't say *what*? I haven't said anything!
**[12:58] ---**
The Dormouse was talking in his sleep.
**[13:00] ---**
That's why he's called the Dormouse:
because he speaks endormi.
**[13:06] ---**
Welcome to the Mad Tea-Party. I'm the Hatter.
**[13:11] ---**
Next to me is the March Hare.
**[13:13] ---**
Do you like tea?
**[13:15] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[13:26] ---**
The look in your eyes says you doubt me.
**[13:29] ---**
There's nothing in it, I assure you!
**[13:31] ---**
Nothing but sweet, sweet sugar.
**[13:37] ---**
Stop it! That's too much!
**[13:40] ---**
Shhh.
**[13:42] ---**
Look.
**[13:50] ---**
What's this...?
**[14:05] ---**
Memories are such ephemeral things.
**[14:10] ---**
I'm not interested in parlor tricks!
**[14:12] ---**
My, my, just look at her drink!
**[14:17] ---**
I refer to the floor, of course.
**[14:18] ---**
Have you lot seen the White Rabbit?
**[14:23] ---**
Good question! I'm sure I don't remember...
**[14:26] ---**
You there, with the glasses.
**[14:27] ---**
You're a rabbit too, aren't you?
Do you know anything?
**[14:31] ---**
I'll thank you not to lump
me in with that vulgar beast!
**[14:37] ---**
A rabbit is a rabbit.
**[14:39] ---**
Those ears look good on you.
**[14:41] ---**
I am a member of the proud Hare race!
**[14:43] ---**
That filthy white creature
is a Common Rabbit!
**[14:46] ---**
All right, all right.
**[14:48] ---**
Well, really! The master
is just as the rabbit, I see!
**[14:53] ---**
See, you really *are* both rabbits.
**[14:55] ---**
I told you, I'll thank you not to lump me--
**[14:57] ---**
Why is a raven like a writing-desk?
**[15:02] ---**
Pardon?
**[15:05] ---**
If you want to know where the
White Rabbit's gone, pay my price!
**[15:07] ---**
Give me the answer to my quiz question!
**[15:13] ---**
We'll now officially begin.
**[15:14] ---**
When you know the answer, be the
first to press the button in front of you.
**[15:20] ---**
Question: "Why is a raven
like a writing-desk?"
**[15:24] ---**
Your time limit is two hours.
**[15:26] ---**
That's long!
**[15:27] ---**
Start Thinking Time!
**[15:29] ---**
--Thirty seconds to go. 29, 28, 27, 26...
**[15:33] ---**
--That's fast!
--Thirty seconds to go. 29, 28, 27, 26...
**[15:34] ---**
--That's fast!
--...25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20...
**[15:34] ---**
--I say, March Hare, wasn't your watch broken?
--...25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20...
**[15:37] ---**
--I say, March Hare, wasn't your watch broken?
--...19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14...
**[15:39] ---**
...13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7--
**[15:44] ---**
Number 1: Alice!
**[15:46] ---**
They both start with an "r" sound!
**[15:51] ---**
Dum dum da-da-*dum*.
**[16:07] ---**
The correct answer was,
"They're not alike at all."
**[16:19] ---**
"Correct answer" my arse!
That's not a proper quiz question at all!
**[16:23] ---**
Aren't *you* the fool for expecting
everything to have a clear answer?
**[16:27] ---**
Quite, quite. Real life isn't so sweet.
**[16:31] ---**
That's why we all crave sweet things.
**[16:41] ---**
I thought I told you I'm not
interested in parlor tricks!
**[16:43] ---**
I'm through with this den of lunatics!
**[16:48] ---**
Have you visited the Queen's castle?
**[16:53] ---**
No, not yet.
**[16:54] ---**
Then I'll give you a warning:
you had better *not* go.
**[17:00] ---**
She's capricious, selfish, and savage,
**[17:03] ---**
and at the slightest provocation...
**[17:10] ---**
Still, she's clearly worth meeting.
**[17:12] ---**
She holds the highest
authority around here, doesn't she?
**[17:15] ---**
Well, yes, I suppose you could say that...
**[17:19] ---**
My, my, I know that sound.
**[17:22] ---**
What is it?
**[17:23] ---**
It seems they've come for you.
**[17:36] ---**
For Alice. An invitation from the Queen!
**[17:39] ---**
From the Queen. An invitation for Alice!
**[17:43] ---**
An invitation. From the
Queen, for Alice, yes!
**[17:49] ---**
Now! Go!
**[17:52] ---**
--Hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hurrah!
**[17:55] ---**
--Stop it! Put me down! I'll walk by myself!
--Hip, hip, hurrah! Hip, hip, hurrah!
**[17:59] ---**
Halt!
**[18:04] ---**
Alice, are you all right, yes?
**[18:07] ---**
Where did the White Rabbit go?
**[18:09] ---**
Er, he was headed for the castle, but...
**[18:13] ---**
The minute I find him, he runs away!
**[18:16] ---**
I'll catch him *this* time!
**[18:18] ---**
Take me there! Take me to the castle!
**[18:21] ---**
Yes, my lord!
**[18:27] ---**
If this world were a chessboard, the
Queen's castle would be on the eighth rank.
**[18:31] ---**
Whether Alice was the attacker or
the defender was an open question,
**[18:34] ---**
but at any rate, her
adventure was nearing its end.
**[18:41] ---**
"Chapter Nine: The Queen Demands Evidence"
**[19:48] ---**
Say...
**[19:51] ---**
Why was I called here?
**[20:11] ---**
Red Queen of Hearts! Elegant Queen!
**[20:15] ---**
Sovereign among sovereigns!
Queen among Queens!
**[20:19] ---**
Guardian of law and
administrator of justice! And... um...
**[20:25] ---**
Guardian of stew and
administrator of rubbish duty!
**[20:29] ---**
All bow before Her Majesty the Queen!
**[20:40] ---**
All right, let the trial begin.
**[20:43] ---**
My ruling: the accused,
Alice, is sentenced to death!
**[20:51] ---**
Silence in the court!
**[20:56] ---**
Now, off with her head!
**[20:59] ---**
Wait a moment!
**[21:01] ---**
I've always wanted to say that.
**[21:04] ---**
Well, go on, chop it off.
**[21:06] ---**
Y-Y-Yes, Your Majesty!
**[21:12] ---**
Objection!
**[21:13] ---**
The sentence first, with no
accusation and no evidence given?
**[21:16] ---**
Stuff and nonsense!
**[21:18] ---**
But going through all the
deliberations is such a waste of time,
**[21:21] ---**
and it's so boring!
**[21:23] ---**
I won't be beheaded
simply because you're *bored*!
**[21:26] ---**
Fine, fine, read the accusation,
then--just for form's sake.
**[21:31] ---**
Just for form's sake,
I shall, Your Majesty!
**[21:33] ---**
Don't do it for form's
sake; do it by the book!
**[21:36] ---**
Er, well...
**[21:38] ---**
"The accused, Alice, was born on
14th December 1875..." And, um...
**[21:53] ---**
Th-That's all.
**[21:55] ---**
Objection!
**[21:57] ---**
What's my birthday got to do with anything?!
**[21:59] ---**
Do you mean to say my birth was a crime?!
**[22:01] ---**
Silence,
**[22:03] ---**
or I'll hold you in contempt
and have you chucked out of court.
**[22:06] ---**
And now we'll call the first witness.
**[22:08] ---**
First witness!
**[22:11] ---**
Here!
**[22:16] ---**
How have you been wronged by the accused?
**[22:20] ---**
Please tell the court.
**[22:24] ---**
I... I lost my colors!
**[22:28] ---**
I wanted to wear a pink hat
with a flower on it today...
**[22:33] ---**
But a widow is only permitted
to wear dull black, day after day!
**[22:39] ---**
Which is Alice's fault!
**[22:41] ---**
*My* fault...?
**[22:44] ---**
Next witness!
**[22:47] ---**
I lost my love!
**[22:49] ---**
The one woman I'd
believed in since I was a boy!
**[22:52] ---**
And now he is losing even the
friend he'd gained in exchange!
**[22:57] ---**
Which is Alice's fault!
**[22:59] ---**
If you apologize now, I'll forgive you!
**[23:01] ---**
For what?
**[23:03] ---**
I lost my future.
**[23:14] ---**
But I won't say it's your fault, Alice!
**[23:18] ---**
The truth is the truth, though.
**[23:21] ---**
I lost my wings!
**[23:28] ---**
Which is Alice's fault!
**[23:30] ---**
Ready, go.
**[23:32] ---**
The new home that we'd finally found...!
**[23:35] ---**
We've lost it once again.
**[23:46] ---**
Which is Alice's fault!
**[23:50] ---**
The next witness is Her Majesty the Queen!
**[23:54] ---**
That's right...
**[23:58] ---**
I forever lost my peace of mind.
**[24:07] ---**
Alice, every last bit of this is your fault.
**[24:11] ---**
Wasn't it cruel of you to
make so many people unhappy?
**[24:15] ---**
I recall doing no such thing!
**[24:17] ---**
Oh, so you insist you're innocent, then.
Even after doing *that*, eh?
**[24:24] ---**
I'm saying I have no memory of it!
**[24:26] ---**
"Memory." That's your crime, Alice.
**[24:30] ---**
My crime?
**[24:32] ---**
Will the final witness come forth!
**[24:39] ---**
Didn't I tell you?
Memories are such ephemeral things.
**[24:45] ---**
This is a dreamland,
a realm between life and death.
**[24:50] ---**
A place where past and future blend together.
**[24:55] ---**
What is this?
**[25:00] ---**
You left your memories
behind in the human world.
**[25:05] ---**
What a savage is Alice!
What a poor soul is Alice!
**[25:10] ---**
"Alice"... is that even my name?
**[25:14] ---**
An excellent question.
**[25:17] ---**
Come to think of it, I can't remember
anything from before I came here.
**[25:22] ---**
I could answer the Caterpillar
when he asked my name, but now...
**[25:26] ---**
That proves it, then.
**[25:30] ---**
The accused is hereby found guilty
on the charge of losing her memories!
**[25:36] ---**
Her sentence is...
**[25:38] ---**
...death, of course.
**[25:40] ---**
Now, off with her head!
**[25:45] ---**
I'm innocent!
**[25:47] ---**
Offer us proof, then.
**[25:50] ---**
Proof!
**[25:51] ---**
Proof!
**[25:53] ---**
Proof!
**[25:54] ---**
Proof!
**[25:56] ---**
Proof!
**[25:57] ---**
Proof!
**[25:59] ---**
Proof!
**[26:01] ---**
Proof!
**[26:02] ---**
--What am I meant to do?!
--Proof!
**[26:05] ---**
Proof!
**[26:07] ---**
Proof.
**[26:10] ---**
Proof that whatever else you
may forget, you remain yourself.
**[26:15] ---**
Now, call my name.
**[26:21] ---**
Sebastian...
**[26:23] ---**
Louder.
**[26:26] ---**
Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian!
**[26:30] ---**
Listen to me, Sebastian:
**[26:32] ---**
Even if I lose everything,
I'm still me--Ciel Phantomhive!
**[26:38] ---**
Come, Sebastian!
**[26:41] ---**
Young master!
**[26:59] ---**
Well done.
**[27:01] ---**
This is an order: take me out of here!
**[27:05] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[27:08] ---**
Seize them!
**[27:24] ---**
Hold on tight.
**[27:33] ---**
So you're going home, Ciel...
**[27:37] ---**
Let's meet again one day, in another dream.
**[27:47] ---**
Yes: the truth is, you don't need any proof.
**[27:53] ---**
You have only to call me
and give me my orders.
**[27:56] ---**
Simply call "Sebastian."
**[28:04] ---**
"...'You're nothing but a pack of cards!'
**[28:07] ---**
At this the whole pack rose up into
the air, and came flying down upon her;
**[28:16] ---**
she gave a little scream..."
**[28:21] ---**
...and found herself lying
in bed in her own world.
**[28:34] ---**
Young master...
**[28:48] ---**
Sleep well.

**[00:11] ---**
*When was it, exactly...*
**[00:16] ---**
*...that I stopped dreaming?*
**[00:25] ---**
Hoheo taralna.
**[00:36] ---**
Are you trying to get away,
after I was kind enough to save you?
**[00:43] ---**
*I won't let you.*
**[00:46] ---**
*I won't let you go anywhere.*
**[00:53] ---**
Master.
**[00:55] ---**
*I'll bind you in my threads forever...*
**[01:03] ---**
"Alois Trancy"
**[01:04] ---**
*Bind you.*
**[01:17] ---**
An insect cage?
**[01:19] ---**
Yes. I'll put this in it.
**[01:21] ---**
I doubt it will fly away in
that state, even without a cage.
**[01:25] ---**
Are you talking back to me?
**[01:27] ---**
No.
**[01:28] ---**
Not just a cage. Flowers, too!
**[01:31] ---**
So that when it's mad with thirst for nectar,
**[01:34] ---**
it can drink as it pleases.
**[01:37] ---**
Certainly.
**[01:49] ---**
You lot are always whispering.
Why is that, eh?
**[01:55] ---**
They are both ill-bred and foul-tongued,
**[01:58] ---**
so I've instructed them to conduct
their conversations a bit more softly.
**[02:02] ---**
"Ill-bred and foul-tongued"?
Are you trying to goad me?
**[02:07] ---**
Certainly not, Master.
**[02:14] ---**
I don't know what you're
thinking, and it *annoys me*!
**[02:18] ---**
Speak up!
**[02:21] ---**
*It annoys me not to
know what they're thinking.*
**[02:25] ---**
*It annoys me.*
**[02:28] ---**
*What is he thinking?*
**[02:35] ---**
Done.
**[02:37] ---**
I'll take care of it, then.
**[02:40] ---**
*Can I be sure he'll never
try to run away from me?*
**[02:46] ---**
*Oh, how I want to rip off your wings.*
**[02:50] ---**
*Then you'll be by my side forever...*
**[02:53] ---**
I've assembled the items
you requested, Master.
**[03:03] ---**
They're bluebells...
**[03:05] ---**
In full bloom, just like in that garden...
**[03:12] ---**
Master?
**[03:14] ---**
Claude.
**[03:15] ---**
Yes?
**[03:16] ---**
How do you know me so well...?
**[03:20] ---**
Do this for me forever, won't you?
**[03:25] ---**
Yes, Master, for as long
as you give me enjoyment.
**[03:30] ---**
*Terms of exchange.*
**[03:31] ---**
*They're the law of this cheap garden.*
**[03:36] ---**
You lot are always whispering.
**[03:37] ---**
"The Triplets"
**[03:40] ---**
Why is that, eh?
**[03:46] ---**
I don't know what you're
thinking, and it *annoys me*!
**[03:50] ---**
Speak up!
**[03:59] ---**
The master's a total hysteric.
**[04:01] ---**
So lame.
**[04:02] ---**
Tell me about it.
**[04:04] ---**
It's time for work. Carpet the
master's chamber in crimson-red roses
**[04:07] ---**
for the sad butterfly's play.
**[04:12] ---**
Claude, you're a total drag.
**[04:13] ---**
Think twice before you agree to that stuff.
**[04:15] ---**
Do it yourself.
**[04:17] ---**
A proper butler knows to
delegate simpler jobs to other servants.
**[04:23] ---**
One too eager to involve himself in
everything is unworthy of the title.
**[04:27] ---**
Is that so.
**[04:28] ---**
Is that so-so.
**[04:29] ---**
Your glasses are fogged up.
**[04:36] ---**
Master's orders or not, I believe
you may be speaking rather *too* loudly.
**[04:41] ---**
Leave us alone.
**[04:43] ---**
My hair grows clockwise from the whorl.
**[04:45] ---**
My hair grows anticlockwise.
**[04:56] ---**
The master really fancies Claude, yeah?
**[04:59] ---**
I don't get the appeal.
**[05:02] ---**
Miss Hannah is way more--
**[05:04] ---**
Oh, it's Miss Hannah.
**[05:09] ---**
I see you're talking today.
**[05:12] ---**
Master's orders.
**[05:14] ---**
We had no choice.
**[05:15] ---**
It's wretched.
**[05:16] ---**
The master's?
**[05:18] ---**
Roses, I see.
**[05:20] ---**
I'm sure this flower is a better choice.
**[05:36] ---**
Miss Hannah's stacked.
**[05:37] ---**
Rocket boobs.
**[05:39] ---**
Jiggle, jiggle.
**[05:41] ---**
I could seriously burn down this
mansion if Miss Hannah didn't live here.
**[05:45] ---**
Yeah, to ashes.
**[05:46] ---**
In no time.
**[05:51] ---**
I've assembled the items
you requested, Master.
**[06:01] ---**
*We're* the ones who assembled them.
**[06:03] ---**
Credit stealer.
**[06:04] ---**
The king of credit thieves.
**[06:06] ---**
They're bluebells...
**[06:07] ---**
In full bloom, just like in that garden...
**[06:12] ---**
The master was crying, yeah?
**[06:14] ---**
He was.
**[06:15] ---**
He so was.
**[06:17] ---**
But it was kinda cute, yeah?
**[06:19] ---**
Yeah, it was.
**[06:21] ---**
He was cute when he cried.
**[06:23] ---**
I can hear you, you know.
**[06:28] ---**
You're more irritating
than gossiping old fishwives.
**[06:32] ---**
Quit being bloody nuisances and pipe down!
**[06:45] ---**
"Hannah Annafellows"
**[06:46] ---**
*I tell him.*
**[06:50] ---**
*I speak to the master
constantly, in my soul's voice.*
**[06:55] ---**
*"Master, that is not the right path.
The path you ought to walk is..."*
**[07:00] ---**
What are you doing?
**[07:02] ---**
Making sure the master
doesn't get lost in the forest.
**[07:06] ---**
When I'm already here with him?
**[07:08] ---**
That is what worries me.
**[07:10] ---**
That he will be lost in the dank,
unpleasant forest known as "Claude Faustus."
**[07:15] ---**
If you betray him, Claude, I will...
**[07:23] ---**
You think you're in a
position to tell me that?
**[07:27] ---**
You're nothing but a sheath. An empty hole.
**[07:31] ---**
The only use for you is as a hole.
**[07:33] ---**
Just a hole for the fellows... *Annafellows*.
**[07:41] ---**
Know your place.
**[07:44] ---**
Demon.
**[07:49] ---**
*Claude, you are not the
one who ought to be there.*
**[07:53] ---**
*The one who ought to be in your place is...*
**[07:57] ---**
*Luka Macken...*
**[08:07] ---**
See that swing? I played there with Brother!
**[08:10] ---**
Brother can swing standing up!
**[08:13] ---**
He says it's not scary! Amazing, huh?!
**[08:17] ---**
Those kids'll be all gone
tonight, won't they?
**[08:20] ---**
Yes.
**[08:25] ---**
Know what? There used
to be lots of bluebells here.
**[08:31] ---**
Brother and I used them to dress up as girls!
**[08:35] ---**
We put them in our hair.
It was so much fun...
**[08:42] ---**
*Claude... you don't know.*
**[08:49] ---**
*A demon's only path to
joy is through suffering.*
**[08:59] ---**
Roses, I see.
**[09:01] ---**
I'm sure this flower is a better choice.
**[09:16] ---**
*Blue flowers blooming at a remembered home.*
**[09:25] ---**
*In the language of flowers,
the bluebell means...*
**[09:30] ---**
*...an eternal bond.*
**[09:32] ---**
"Claude Faustus"
**[09:37] ---**
Did it die?
**[09:40] ---**
Here one second, gone the next.
It didn't even last a day.
**[09:44] ---**
Take revenge!
**[09:46] ---**
On the spider that did
this to you--on Alois Trancy--
**[09:53] ---**
take revenge so vicious
it gnaws right through me.
**[09:56] ---**
Live!
**[09:58] ---**
An unstable soul.
**[10:00] ---**
Alois Trancy, the blond soul
that obsesses the demon's sheath.
**[10:07] ---**
Highly interesting, I must admit.
**[10:10] ---**
However...
**[10:13] ---**
I require more heat...
**[10:22] ---**
No! Claude, where are you?!
**[10:25] ---**
Claude!
**[10:26] ---**
Master!
**[10:32] ---**
Don't!
**[10:33] ---**
Master?
**[10:34] ---**
Don't, Claude! You'll burn!
**[10:37] ---**
But Master...
**[10:38] ---**
Don't burn, Claude!
**[10:41] ---**
Water.
**[10:45] ---**
Don't burn...
**[10:53] ---**
The fire is out. It's all right now.
**[10:56] ---**
We'll have the room back
to normal before you know it.
**[10:59] ---**
I... wanted to burn it.
**[11:03] ---**
To give the butterfly proper funeral rites.
**[11:08] ---**
Funeral?
**[11:10] ---**
But the fire spread...
**[11:16] ---**
*"Burn it." "Don't burn."
His soul wavers like a flame.*
**[11:22] ---**
*Master, I love how heated you are.*
**[11:28] ---**
*I love it as well.*
**[11:32] ---**
*I don't particularly love it.*
**[11:33] ---**
*Yeah, no love here.*
**[11:34] ---**
*I'd be willing to, a little.*
**[11:39] ---**
*I love it.*
**[11:42] ---**
*As long as your soul burns red-hot...*
**[11:46] ---**
It really *is* back to normal.
**[11:49] ---**
Come, master. Best to retire
before the rude morning sun is upon us.
**[11:55] ---**
Stay with me.
**[11:56] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[11:58] ---**
Sit there.
**[12:02] ---**
Say... am I entertaining?
**[12:05] ---**
Yes, very.
**[12:07] ---**
How much?
**[12:14] ---**
This much.
**[12:17] ---**
What a bore.
**[12:21] ---**
You're impertinent, for such a bore.
**[12:27] ---**
Get off your high horse and don't say
"as long as you give me enjoyment."
**[12:31] ---**
Don't say "as long as." That's stingy.
**[12:39] ---**
If you burn so fiercely, you'll
burn right out in no time, my master.
**[12:51] ---**
*For the first time in a
long while, I had a dream.*
**[12:54] ---**
*The butterfly caught in the
spider's web had no wings.*
**[12:59] ---**
*And that butterfly...*
**[13:02] ---**
*...was me.*
**[13:03] ---**
"The Threads of the Spider's Design"

**[13:06] ---**
*With cold tears filling your eyes*
**[13:08] ---**
*When the time is ripe*
**[13:13] ---**
*You shall cut through the
darkness in search of the light*
**[13:25] ---**
*A rose madder song stains your heart*
**[13:35] ---**
*Like the melody that dies
too eagerly, longing for eternity*
**[13:49] ---**
*In the stillness of the
twinkling sky lies my garden*
**[14:00] ---**
*One day you will arrive*
**[14:06] ---**
*Beyond the shoreline*
**[15:13] ---**
*The darkness guarding
the moon whispers a lullaby*
**[15:24] ---**
*Until the uncrying child's
eyes are wet with dreams*
**[15:35] ---**
*Farewell*
**[15:38] ---**
*Because you and I can never meet again*
**[15:46] ---**
*I am adoring, I am distraught*
**[15:52] ---**
*As though the night
pierces straight through my heart*
**[16:00] ---**
*In the stillness of the
twinkling sky lies your house*

**[00:09] ---**
Everyone is here, I trust?
**[00:21] ---**
My name is William T. Spears.
**[00:24] ---**
I'm one of the designated educators
for you, this year's new recruits.
**[00:29] ---**
I will be instructing you
throughout your training period.
**[00:34] ---**
Feel free to come ask me questions
about anything you find unclear.
**[00:38] ---**
My shift ends at 6:00pm.
**[00:41] ---**
I'll respond to questions asked before 5:30.
**[00:44] ---**
Now, to begin with--
**[00:49] ---**
Grell Sutcliff, aren't
you an instructor as well?
**[00:53] ---**
Oh, honey, I'm not into children.
**[00:57] ---**
But I came right over
when I heard *you* were here!
**[01:01] ---**
I'm so happy! It's been ever so
long since we were together, *Will*.
**[01:06] ---**
I can't imagine what the
Personnel Department was thinking.
**[01:09] ---**
Ah, you're just as standoffish
as ever. It's so fetching.
**[01:13] ---**
Now, to begin with, I'll give
tours of the Association's facilities.
**[01:30] ---**
We grim reapers screen those To-Die persons
**[01:35] ---**
appearing on the soul collection
list distributed by the higher-ups.
**[01:37] ---**
Using our death scythes, we
check each individual's memories--
**[01:39] ---**
their Cinematic Records.
**[01:43] ---**
A human's Cinematic Record
contains all records on him: his entire life.
**[01:48] ---**
Based on it, we determine
whether that person deserves death,
**[01:52] ---**
and collect his soul.
**[01:53] ---**
Are there really any humans
who don't deserve death?
**[01:58] ---**
Humans capable of being
beneficial to the world...
**[02:01] ---**
Humans whose presence
causes the world great change
**[02:06] ---**
may sometimes be removed
from the list and escape death.
**[02:11] ---**
However, such cases are incredibly unlikely.
**[02:14] ---**
We are merely performing due
diligence to prevent the worst.
**[02:20] ---**
Simply following orders from
on high, without attachment...
**[02:25] ---**
without incident...
**[02:31] ---**
This is our administrative department.
**[02:32] ---**
They oversee the To-Die
list and the souls collected.
**[02:38] ---**
Here's Personnel, in charge of
all Association personnel issues.
**[02:42] ---**
Here's General Affairs, in charge of
equipment, death scythes, and such.
**[02:48] ---**
I got us a table at that French restaurant.
**[02:50] ---**
Soul collection? Oh, that'll
be over in no time!
**[02:55] ---**
Here's Collections.
They actually collect the souls on-site.
**[02:59] ---**
And finally...
**[03:06] ---**
Spectacles.
**[03:10] ---**
Right.
**[03:12] ---**
Bottom.
**[03:13] ---**
Top.
**[03:13] ---**
This department is equipped to
handle all your glasses needs.
**[03:15] ---**
Lower left.
**[03:16] ---**
It's the very backbone of the
Grim Reaper Staffing Association.
**[03:31] ---**
Oh, no matter how many times
I see this, my heart still quivers!
**[03:34] ---**
Who is that?
**[03:36] ---**
The department head, Lawrence Anderson.
**[03:40] ---**
He's generally known as "Pops."
**[03:42] ---**
This is the legendary man who
makes all the reapers' glasses...?
**[03:46] ---**
So we'll be able to wear
his glasses now, too!
**[03:49] ---**
I'd like a new pair as soon as possible.
**[03:51] ---**
The new-recruit spectacles are so dull.
**[03:57] ---**
You lads have a long, *long* way to go
**[04:00] ---**
before you're ready to wear Pops's glasses.
**[04:02] ---**
Only those who have passed the final
exam are permitted to wear his glasses.
**[04:07] ---**
In other words, they are a sort of proof
that you've become a full-fledged reaper.
**[04:12] ---**
Sir, what is this "final exam"?
**[04:15] ---**
At the end of your training period,
you'll form groups of two
**[04:20] ---**
and screen and collect a soul.
**[04:23] ---**
That is your final exam.
**[04:25] ---**
Screen a soul...
**[04:26] ---**
What, immediately?
**[04:28] ---**
I'm worried...
**[04:30] ---**
By the look of it, this year's
recruits are going to be useless.
**[04:33] ---**
If so, we'll simply send them away.
**[04:35] ---**
Quite as standoffish as ever.
**[04:39] ---**
You're just the same now as you were then.
**[04:41] ---**
"Then"?
**[04:42] ---**
*You* know. Our first time together...
**[04:46] ---**
Yes, what could be
rightly called our first night!
**[04:51] ---**
I only wish I could forget it.
**[04:53] ---**
Oh, my body will never forget.
Just the thought of it makes me...
**[05:00] ---**
I mean, you thrust into me
from above and from below
**[05:00] ---**
For goodness's sake.
**[05:02] ---**
and face to face and from behind!
**[05:04] ---**
Oh, I thought my body would just give *out*!
**[05:12] ---**
I will now give you the details of
the practical portion of your exam.
**[05:16] ---**
Grell Sutcliff, you have
a triple-A in practical skills,
**[05:19] ---**
a B in written exams, and a C in
ethics, giving you an A average.
**[05:25] ---**
William T. Spears, you have
straight Bs in practical skills,
**[05:28] ---**
written exams, and ethics,
giving you a B average.
**[05:33] ---**
And
**[05:34] ---**
just why should triple-A me
have to pair with this straight-B cretin?!
**[05:39] ---**
Objections to the Association's
rulings are not permitted!
**[05:42] ---**
Grell Sutcliff, I believe you're
only a triple-A in practical skills?
**[05:47] ---**
I rather think a triple-A
in practical skills is enough.
**[05:52] ---**
Actually, would you like to test my skills?
**[05:57] ---**
Don't be stupid.
**[05:58] ---**
Do you understand what will happen
the next time you cause problems?!
**[06:02] ---**
Forget it. I need a *real* man
who'll milk me for all I've got.
**[06:10] ---**
The human in question is
scheduled to die in one month.
**[06:14] ---**
You'll spend that month
examining whether he deserves death.
**[06:18] ---**
Naturally, you're free to give your
conclusion before your time runs out.
**[06:22] ---**
Here is the data on your target.
I pray for your success.
**[06:26] ---**
Just don't get in my way.
**[06:29] ---**
Understood. I look forward to
working with you, Grell Sutcliff.
**[06:43] ---**
The living world is always so filthy.
**[06:50] ---**
I've found him. That's our man.
**[06:53] ---**
Thomas Wallis. Born in Bristol in 1775.
**[06:57] ---**
He aspires to be a novelist.
**[07:00] ---**
A novelist? How typical.
Poor, talentless, can't get a date...
**[07:07] ---**
Right then, he's cleared for death!
**[07:11] ---**
Let's investigate this for the full month.
**[07:14] ---**
Are you going against me?
**[07:19] ---**
Fabulous.
**[07:32] ---**
Well, what will you do now?
**[07:36] ---**
We have a month for our test.
**[07:38] ---**
This is our first screening. I think
we should continue to observe him,
**[07:41] ---**
to be sure we don't make a mistake.
**[07:46] ---**
What a dull man you are.
**[07:48] ---**
Do as you like. And I'll do as I like, too.
**[07:52] ---**
So, when is the collection
scheduled for, again?
**[07:55] ---**
4:00pm on December 16, 1799.
**[08:06] ---**
Observation log of William T. Spears.
**[08:10] ---**
Target Thomas Wallis is an earnest young man.
**[08:14] ---**
He spends each day working at the printer's,
**[08:17] ---**
and each night at the
boardinghouse writing his novels.
**[08:21] ---**
He submits them to publishers...
**[08:29] ---**
...but with no sign of success.
**[08:33] ---**
He works, writes novels,
and submits the manuscripts.
**[08:37] ---**
That is his entire life.
**[08:50] ---**
You there!
**[08:56] ---**
Why that attire...?
**[08:58] ---**
What does it matter?
Now, are you ready to stamp the file yet?
**[09:02] ---**
It's only been three days.
**[09:04] ---**
Whatever. I'm sick of the living world.
**[09:08] ---**
And there aren't any
handsome men here, either.
**[09:10] ---**
So hurry up and decide.
**[09:12] ---**
Very well.
**[09:18] ---**
How do you do?
My name is William T. Spears.
**[09:23] ---**
Er, hello...
**[09:25] ---**
What?!
**[09:30] ---**
Your prose is a tad roundabout.
**[09:33] ---**
The publisher told me that, too.
**[09:37] ---**
What the devil are you playing at?
**[09:40] ---**
You told me to hurry up and decide.
**[09:42] ---**
So you do *this*? Are you a fool?!
**[09:45] ---**
None of the notes on our test
forbid us from contact with our target.
**[09:51] ---**
Wait, why are you two carrying sickles?
**[09:55] ---**
This is a death scythe.
**[09:57] ---**
Hey!
**[09:59] ---**
Death scythe?
**[10:00] ---**
Like the Grim Reaper carries in the legends?
**[10:04] ---**
Yes. We are grim reapers.
**[10:08] ---**
Pardon?
**[10:09] ---**
I'm afraid you will be passing away soon.
**[10:13] ---**
Therefore, we're investigating
whether you truly ought to die or--
**[10:18] ---**
I should have killed you from the first.
**[10:21] ---**
None of the notes forbid
us from identifying ourselves.
**[10:25] ---**
Any simpleton would know better!
**[10:27] ---**
Oh! Are you actors, by any chance?
**[10:32] ---**
And this is a new form of avant-garde
theater with audience participation?
**[10:36] ---**
Shut your mouth and stay out of this, kid!
**[10:39] ---**
You're so pretty, it makes perfect sense!
**[10:42] ---**
That red hair and pearly skin...
I've never seen a man so beautiful!
**[10:49] ---**
London really is the big city, isn't it?
**[10:50] ---**
Oh, yes!
**[10:53] ---**
All the world's a stage, and I am a player!
**[10:56] ---**
Between man and woman,
love is a kind of warfare!
**[10:59] ---**
No, love is man and *man
*in a tragic dream play!
**[11:09] ---**
For goodness's sake! Thanks to you,
I wasn't able to investigate.
**[11:13] ---**
It was your fault for
starting something stupid!
**[11:17] ---**
Still...
**[11:21] ---**
He was a rather promising youth, wasn't he?
**[11:28] ---**
Grim reapers, eh?
**[11:34] ---**
The Story of Will the Reaper
**[11:39] ---**
The Story of Will the Reaper
**[11:48] ---**
*The title of the new novel he started...*
**[11:56] ---**
*...was The Story of Will the Reaper.*
**[12:00] ---**
*It was about a new reaper named
Will observing various people's lives.*
**[12:06] ---**
*He dispassionately gazed at dying
souls, souls neither good nor evil.*
**[12:12] ---**
*And then Will fell in
love with a human maiden.*
**[12:16] ---**
*One destined for death, no less.*
**[12:19] ---**
*She returned Will's love.*
**[12:22] ---**
*An uncertain Will was caught between
reaper law and the dictates of love.*
**[12:25] ---**
*However, he chose love.*
**[12:28] ---**
*He broke reaper law and tried to save her.*
**[12:32] ---**
*Will's fast friend lent them his aid...*
**[12:35] ---**
"The redheaded and
fair-of-heart reaper Grell."
**[12:40] ---**
He's a perceptive boy, I'll give him that.
**[12:43] ---**
*This novel was approved for publication.*
**[12:46] ---**
*His deadline was 4:00pm on December 16th.*
**[12:52] ---**
But December 16th is...
**[12:54] ---**
Yes, the scheduled date of his death.
**[13:01] ---**
*Will and Grell's efforts
were in vain; the maiden died.*
**[13:05] ---**
*Will told the god ruling that
world that he would disappear;*
**[13:10] ---**
*that he would give his soul
in exchange for the maiden's.*
**[13:14] ---**
*And so it was agreed
that her life will be spared.*
**[13:18] ---**
*But there was one condition:*
**[13:21] ---**
*All her memories of Will would be erased.*
**[13:24] ---**
*That was fine with him.
Even if all memory of him was lost,*
**[13:27] ---**
*deep within her soul, proof
of their love was sure to remain.*
**[13:31] ---**
*No one could ever erase that.*
**[13:34] ---**
*Will disappeared, and she came back to life.*
**[13:39] ---**
*She fell in love and bore
a child in the ordinary way.*
**[13:43] ---**
*And she named that child Will.*
**[13:50] ---**
A pretty good story.
**[13:51] ---**
Rather, this is a masterpiece.
It will go down in history as a classic.
**[14:00] ---**
This boy will die at 4:00 today...
**[14:10] ---**
The soul of a talented writer, eh?
**[14:13] ---**
I wonder if we should let him live.
I could contact the Association--
**[14:17] ---**
No need.
**[14:20] ---**
We'll collect his soul.
**[14:25] ---**
What, did you forget?
**[14:28] ---**
Souls beneficial to the
world are excluded from the list.
**[14:32] ---**
"Beneficial"? Him?
**[14:35] ---**
You said yourself that
his novel is a masterpiece!
**[14:39] ---**
And you say that might be
grounds to let him live, Grell Sutcliff?
**[14:48] ---**
Yes. What of it?
**[14:51] ---**
For goodness's sake...
**[14:53] ---**
Have you got a problem with that?
**[14:55] ---**
No, no problem. However...
**[15:01] ---**
You are mistaken.
**[15:03] ---**
"Mistaken"? Me?
**[15:06] ---**
*Me*?!
**[15:08] ---**
You've got some nerve.
**[15:19] ---**
You...
**[15:20] ---**
Injuring my partner would affect my grade.
**[15:24] ---**
You're saying you held back last time?
**[15:27] ---**
A straight-Bs man like you
could never take down triple-A me!
**[15:31] ---**
I believe you're only a
triple-A in practical skills, correct?
**[15:35] ---**
What's more, the requirement
for admission to the Association
**[15:37] ---**
was "B average or above."
**[15:43] ---**
Don't mock me!
**[15:48] ---**
*What? What is this?*
**[15:51] ---**
*I'm...*
**[15:54] ---**
*I'm on the receiving end?!*
**[15:56] ---**
*From above, and from below,*
**[16:00] ---**
*and face to face...*
**[16:04] ---**
*...and from behind!*
**[16:07] ---**
*What is this? What is this feeling?*
**[16:09] ---**
*This...*
**[16:11] ---**
*This must be...!*
**[16:18] ---**
True, he may become a famous author
whose name will go down in history.
**[16:24] ---**
Nevertheless...
**[16:28] ---**
The world will be no
different with or without him.
**[16:37] ---**
It's time. We must be off.
**[16:44] ---**
Released...
**[17:05] ---**
What happened?
**[17:06] ---**
'Parently a carriage hit him.
**[17:07] ---**
Happens all the time.
**[17:14] ---**
I will now begin collection.
**[17:29] ---**
I say! What are you doing?!
**[17:34] ---**
Huh?
**[17:55] ---**
My glasses! I can't finish
my work like this...
**[18:00] ---**
Blast!
**[18:11] ---**
*Thomas's... Thomas Wallis's memories are...*
**[18:16] ---**
*flowing into me...!*
**[18:21] ---**
*Thomas... Thomas...*
**[18:23] ---**
*Thomas!*
**[18:29] ---**
I can't believe you'd light my fire
and then just go play with *him*.
**[18:42] ---**
Take care with your glasses.
**[18:47] ---**
Keep your hands off my man, you homewrecker!
**[18:51] ---**
I'm not your man.
**[18:58] ---**
Give up quietly!
**[19:00] ---**
Now I know why they make
new recruits pair up on assignments.
**[19:05] ---**
Tying me up, eh? But it
won't do you any good.
**[19:09] ---**
*You* don't do it for me at all!
**[19:17] ---**
*This is the struggle of the dying...
This is the weight of a life...*
**[19:24] ---**
Shall we bring him off now, Will?
**[19:37] ---**
Darling, this is our first collaboration!
**[19:40] ---**
I told you, I'm not yours.
**[20:13] ---**
Looks like there are other teams at work.
**[20:21] ---**
Standoffish men are just too *fetching*.
**[20:31] ---**
Congratulations.
**[20:37] ---**
You're officially full-fledged grim reapers.
**[20:40] ---**
Now, go get yourselves some spectacles.
**[20:54] ---**
Beautiful grim reaper Grell...
**[20:59] ---**
...takes his first deathly breath!☆
**[21:02] ---**
Only those who know the
weight of life are given reaper glasses.
**[21:08] ---**
Glasses of life.
**[21:15] ---**
Honestly, being saved by you is
the only blot on my life's record.
**[21:22] ---**
Hmm? Did you say something?
**[21:24] ---**
The final exam sounds hard.
**[21:26] ---**
Watching a human die sounds rough, somehow.
**[21:29] ---**
It's merely a job.
**[21:32] ---**
There is no place for
unnecessary emotions in a job.
**[21:34] ---**
We need only carry out our duties.
**[21:38] ---**
Simply following orders from
on high, without attachment...
**[21:42] ---**
without incident...
**[21:44] ---**
He really is fetching.
**[21:46] ---**
Oh, one more thing...
**[21:55] ---**
Take care with your glasses.

**[00:44] ---**
Wow, so this is the *Campania*!
**[00:49] ---**
It's big.
**[00:51] ---**
What a surprise, yes!
**[00:53] ---**
To first-class suite A66, please.
**[00:58] ---**
The *Campania*...
**[01:01] ---**
The Majestic Star Line staked its whole future
**[01:04] ---**
on building this trans-Atlantic
luxury liner and putting it in service.
**[01:08] ---**
It's thrilling just to look at!
**[01:11] ---**
You're lucky you get to go along, Snake!
**[01:13] ---**
See that you take care of the young master.
**[01:16] ---**
I've always wanted to go on a sea voyage!
**[01:19] ---**
I trust you'll all do
your duties while we're away.
**[01:23] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[01:29] ---**
We're off, then.
**[01:31] ---**
See you soon!
**[01:33] ---**
--Have a safe trip!
--Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to set sail.
**[01:35] ---**
--See you soon!
--All aboard!
**[01:39] ---**
--Goodbye!
--Take care!
**[01:50] ---**
--Don't get seasick!
--See you soon, young master, yes!
**[02:05] ---**
Made it in the nick of time!
But I'm onboard as planned.
**[02:11] ---**
It's smooth sailing and the future looks bright!
**[02:15] ---**
For *us*, anyhow.
**[02:32] ---**
We've left dry land behind.
**[02:34] ---**
Yes... and I suppose only
the Atlantic knows what lies ahead.
**[02:47] ---**
You're saying this hospital
brings the dead back to life?
**[02:50] ---**
Exactly.
**[02:53] ---**
I'm not interested in the occult, thank you.
**[02:56] ---**
--And if it's not an occult case?
--What?
**[02:59] ---**
I hear that Karnstein Hospital
**[03:01] ---**
makes an awful lot of purchases
at the docks you've put me in charge of.
**[03:07] ---**
Drugs?
**[03:09] ---**
No, people.
**[03:12] ---**
They're illegally buying them from overseas.
**[03:14] ---**
In large numbers, too.
**[03:19] ---**
You're suggesting that they raise the
dead via illicit human experimentation, then.
**[03:25] ---**
Exactly.
**[03:28] ---**
That's certainly problematic, if true.
**[03:32] ---**
Well, it's always best to de-thorn
a rose before it cuts one's hand.
**[03:36] ---**
Sebastian, investigate at once.
**[03:38] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[03:47] ---**
I've returned.
**[03:48] ---**
You're as quick as ever.
**[03:51] ---**
What is that outfit?
**[03:53] ---**
"When in Rome," as they say.
**[03:57] ---**
More importantly,
I've learned something interesting.
**[04:00] ---**
What is it?
**[04:02] ---**
A nurse disclosed to me
**[04:04] ---**
that the hospital sponsors a
secret society called the "Aurora Society."
**[04:09] ---**
It performs illegal human experimentation
with funding from the nobility
**[04:14] ---**
under the motto of "mankind's
perfect salvation through medicine."
**[04:17] ---**
Unfortunately, however, I found
no evidence of this within the hospital.
**[04:22] ---**
Then I suppose our only option is
to infiltrate an Aurora Society gathering.
**[04:26] ---**
Yes.
**[04:27] ---**
Its next one will be aboard a passenger ship
**[04:31] ---**
departing from Southampton on April 17th.
**[04:35] ---**
A gathering on a ship? How very like noblemen.
**[04:40] ---**
April 17th?
**[04:43] ---**
We'll be having a family holiday in April!
**[04:46] ---**
It's a three-week trip to New York
by luxury liner, starting the 17th.
**[04:50] ---**
Father's invited you, too, Ciel!
**[04:53] ---**
What's the name of the ship?
**[04:54] ---**
It's a Majestic Star Line
luxury liner called the *Campania*.
**[05:10] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[05:21] ---**
Ciel?
**[05:23] ---**
I can't believe it! When we invited you,
you said you were too busy!
**[05:28] ---**
I, er, wanted to surprise you.
**[05:31] ---**
You took time off for me? I'm so happy!
**[05:35] ---**
Elizabeth, we're in public. Show some decorum.
**[05:38] ---**
Mother is right, Lizzie. Not to mention...
**[05:42] ---**
...I still don't acknowledge you as my brother!
**[05:46] ---**
Unhand her at once!
**[05:49] ---**
Oh, are you still on about that, brother?
**[05:54] ---**
L-Lord Scotney, what a pleasure.
It's been too long.
**[05:59] ---**
I've missed you, future son!
You're as adorable as ever!
**[06:03] ---**
--Alexis!
--Father!
**[06:09] ---**
Then we can travel together
for the whole three weeks?
**[06:13] ---**
Yes.
**[06:14] ---**
We've never been together so long before!
**[06:16] ---**
Do escort me to a dinner party, Ciel!
**[06:19] ---**
Yes, all right.
**[06:23] ---**
What is wrong with him?
**[06:26] ---**
Well, you have time.
**[06:28] ---**
The gathering will be
on the evening of the 19th.
**[06:32] ---**
What's the harm in enjoying a little holiday?
**[06:36] ---**
I'll have to dress up!
**[06:40] ---**
No harm, I suppose.
**[06:42] ---**
Lord Phantomhive, on holiday? Really?
**[06:45] ---**
You!
**[06:46] ---**
Lord Grey--and Sir Charles Phips!
**[06:48] ---**
A pleasure to see you, Lord and Lady Scotney.
**[06:52] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[06:54] ---**
I might ask you the same.
**[06:56] ---**
We were invited to attend the *Campania*'s
maiden voyage on behalf of the Queen.
**[07:01] ---**
And when we *quite* unexpectedly
saw you, we came to say hello.
**[07:06] ---**
So, you really aren't dead!
**[07:09] ---**
I'm afraid I instinctively came back to life--
**[07:12] ---**
--perhaps due to
someone repeatedly kicking me.
**[07:16] ---**
Oh? We should be grateful to that someone, then.
**[07:20] ---**
He saved your life.
**[07:22] ---**
Indeed.
**[07:24] ---**
I pray this will be an
enjoyable voyage--for all of us.
**[07:48] ---**
Ciel, look at those adorable cakes!
**[07:51] ---**
I'll get some for both of us.
**[07:56] ---**
I'd expect no less from
the Earl of Crawford's son!
**[07:58] ---**
Blasted nobles, nothing but
meaningless chatter day after day!
**[08:03] ---**
I'm a fool for coming here instead of working.
**[08:07] ---**
Would you like to take a fencing lesson
**[08:09] ---**
from the marchioness tomorrow instead, then?
**[08:11] ---**
Do you mean to keep me from
even seeing the Statue of Liberty?
**[08:15] ---**
More importantly,
young master, tonight is the night.
**[08:19] ---**
Yes.
**[08:20] ---**
Would you like a glass?
**[08:26] ---**
That's the sign.
**[08:28] ---**
As I understand it, a waiter
circling the hall with an empty glass
**[08:32] ---**
means the Aurora Society
meeting is about to begin.
**[08:35] ---**
Let's follow him.
**[08:37] ---**
You eat that!
**[08:47] ---**
Delicious.
**[08:50] ---**
Ale beats fancy champagne any day!
**[08:53] ---**
Don'tcha think?
**[08:55] ---**
Gotta break out the good champagne
if you're drinkin' with your sweetheart, though.
**[09:00] ---**
I'm jealous of your sweetheart!
**[09:03] ---**
Wish I had one.
**[09:04] ---**
You don't?! Liar, you're just saying that to--
**[09:08] ---**
I may not have a bird to squeeze,
but I've got time on my hands.
**[09:11] ---**
To our free time!
**[09:13] ---**
Cheers!
**[09:20] ---**
That must be it.
**[09:22] ---**
Wait, my lord.
**[09:24] ---**
They evidently have a secret greeting
one must know to be admitted.
**[09:31] ---**
You should've said so earlier!
**[09:33] ---**
Well? What's the greeting?
**[09:35] ---**
It's...
**[09:40] ---**
Unbelievable... Must I really do that?!
**[09:44] ---**
If you can't, they'll deem
us outsiders and turn us away.
**[09:47] ---**
Make sure not to hesitate.
**[09:52] ---**
Now, let's go.
**[09:56] ---**
Right this way.
**[10:06] ---**
Is this your first time?
**[10:12] ---**
Th-The perfect flame within us...
**[10:15] ---**
...cannot be extinguished.
**[10:18] ---**
--We are...
--We are...
**[10:20] ---**
...phoenixes!
**[10:22] ---**
Who thought of this ridiculous pose?!
They must be mad!
**[10:27] ---**
And if it's wrong, this will all
have been for nothing, Sebastian!
**[10:34] ---**
Phoenixes! Welcome to the Aurora Society!
**[10:38] ---**
Here are your badges.
**[10:41] ---**
Th-Thank you...
**[10:44] ---**
Never again.
**[10:51] ---**
I never thought I'd see *you* doing that!
**[10:54] ---**
Undertaker!
**[10:55] ---**
"Phoenix!" And with such a straight face!
**[11:00] ---**
You bloody--
**[11:01] ---**
Now, now, young master.
**[11:03] ---**
What brings you here?
**[11:07] ---**
Have you forgotten my profession?
**[11:10] ---**
Hospitals are some of
an undertaker's best customers.
**[11:15] ---**
Do you know anything
about what's taking place here?
**[11:19] ---**
Tut, tut! If you want
information, you need to pay.
**[11:23] ---**
I just gave you plenty of laughter!
**[11:25] ---**
True.
**[11:27] ---**
How about just one more phoenix pose, then?
**[11:31] ---**
Certainly not!
**[11:31] ---**
Phoenix!
**[11:34] ---**
Forgive me, but I added my own touch.
**[11:37] ---**
Isn't that the Viscount Druitt?
**[11:39] ---**
Come to think of it,
he does have a medical license.
**[11:45] ---**
He's coming this way!
**[11:47] ---**
Oh, are you two new?
**[11:50] ---**
Yes, we read about this in the newspaper.
**[11:53] ---**
Hmm? Have we met?
**[11:57] ---**
N-No! I'm quite sure we haven't!
**[12:02] ---**
True, I can't imagine I'd ever
forget a pretty young man like you.
**[12:09] ---**
It breaks my heart to see you bandaged so.
**[12:12] ---**
M-M-My father!
He said someone here could cure me!
**[12:19] ---**
Your father?
**[12:22] ---**
Come here. It's starting.
**[12:38] ---**
That's Ryan Stoker, the founder of our society.
**[12:43] ---**
The perfect flame within us
cannot be extinguished.
**[12:49] ---**
We are... phoenixes!
**[12:53] ---**
Phoenixes!
**[12:57] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming.
**[12:59] ---**
Today I present the fruits
of the Aurora Society's research
**[13:03] ---**
into mankind's perfect
salvation through medicine.
**[13:06] ---**
What is "perfect salvation"?
It is perfect health!
**[13:11] ---**
A healthy body. Healthy teeth.
A healthy spirit. Healthy weather!
**[13:18] ---**
Health is truly magnificent!
**[13:24] ---**
There is one great illness
our best efforts cannot cure us of.
**[13:30] ---**
What do you suppose it is?
**[13:33] ---**
Death.
**[13:35] ---**
But there is an awesome power
which can save us from this misfortune...
**[13:40] ---**
...and that is the medicine
practiced by the Aurora Society!
**[13:44] ---**
Allow me to demonstrate
the fruits of our research:
**[13:47] ---**
mankind's perfect salvation through medicine.
**[13:55] ---**
Margaret Conner, age seventeen.
**[13:58] ---**
Her life was cruelly cut
short by an unlucky accident.
**[14:02] ---**
Truly tragic.
**[14:04] ---**
Her death brought ill health
to her parents' hearts as well.
**[14:08] ---**
--I wish to give them all perfect salvation!
--Is the corpse real?
**[14:11] ---**
--I wish to give them all perfect salvation!
--I believe so.
**[14:12] ---**
It reeks with the sweet stench of death.
**[14:16] ---**
Ladies and gentlemen,
witness the power of medicine!
**[14:23] ---**
Perfect salvation!
**[14:34] ---**
Looks like it's about that time.
**[14:37] ---**
Where are you going?
**[14:38] ---**
To do a little work.
**[14:40] ---**
Aw, already? Will you
meet me here again tomorrow?
**[14:45] ---**
Sure, okay.
**[14:48] ---**
If we're still alive.
**[14:49] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[14:53] ---**
Arise like the phoenix!
**[15:05] ---**
She moved...
**[15:11] ---**
--Maggie! My Maggie!
--Behold! Our medicine can overcome even death!
**[15:19] ---**
Oh, doctor, thank you!
**[15:22] ---**
This is absolute salvation.
**[15:27] ---**
What's going on? Don't tell me
he really resurrected the dead!
**[15:31] ---**
Margaret! I can face anything with you alive!
**[15:42] ---**
Stop... Maggie...!
**[15:58] ---**
Sebastian!
**[16:00] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[16:07] ---**
Did it work?
**[16:08] ---**
Stand back, my lord.
**[16:18] ---**
What is she?!
**[16:19] ---**
I know I pierced her heart.
Whatever she is, she's beyond my ken.
**[16:31] ---**
Damn! We failed?
**[16:32] ---**
Don't just stand there! Kill her!
**[16:51] ---**
You're both useless!
**[16:54] ---**
--Stop!
--Young master!
**[17:00] ---**
How do we bloody kill her?
**[17:05] ---**
Dismembering her to stop her from
moving would seem to be a good start.
**[17:10] ---**
She won't die until you destroy her head.
**[17:16] ---**
Like this!
**[17:21] ---**
Gotta do it right.
**[17:27] ---**
You're...
**[17:29] ---**
See, I knew it! She's totally dead!
I *told* them I collected her.
**[17:35] ---**
Unbelievable, seriously.
**[17:37] ---**
Who is that?
**[17:38] ---**
You should know full well.
**[17:42] ---**
At least this one has a soul. Here we go.
**[17:55] ---**
Examination complete.
**[17:58] ---**
A grim reaper.
**[18:00] ---**
That butler uniform...
Say, are you the infamous "Sebas-*chan*"?
**[18:04] ---**
I'm Ronald Knox of the Grim Reaper
Staffing Association Collections Department.
**[18:09] ---**
I believe you know my senior!
**[18:12] ---**
You knew to aim for her head. Do the
reapers know something about this incident?
**[18:21] ---**
Nah, not the details.
**[18:24] ---**
We just got reports of bodies walking
around after we'd collected their souls,
**[18:30] ---**
so I came to investigate.
**[18:32] ---**
But this here is a genuine corpse.
**[18:35] ---**
I should know--I harvested
her soul myself two weeks ago.
**[18:40] ---**
We'll just have to get Stoker to confess.
**[18:43] ---**
Let's go.
**[18:48] ---**
If the administrative department
finds out there's a demon aboard,
**[18:51] ---**
things'll get way too complicated, you know?
**[18:53] ---**
And I seriously don't want
to work overtime because of it.
**[18:56] ---**
So do me a favor and die.
**[18:59] ---**
I'm going on ahead! Give him
a little workout and then come join me!
**[19:02] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[19:03] ---**
Ugh! Kids these days, am I right?
**[19:07] ---**
Should you be looking away?
**[19:09] ---**
Huh?
**[19:11] ---**
Whoa...
**[19:22] ---**
I can always count on
a death scythe to be sharp, can't I?
**[19:26] ---**
Pretty much.
**[19:46] ---**
The cargo hold.
**[19:56] ---**
Lizzie?!
**[19:57] ---**
Honestly! Are you trying to shoot your fiancée?
**[20:00] ---**
Forget that, what are you doing here?!
**[20:02] ---**
What do you think? You just disappeared,
even after I told you to wait.
**[20:08] ---**
I went looking for you, and I saw you running.
**[20:12] ---**
Ciel?
**[20:14] ---**
This place is dark and horrid.
**[20:20] ---**
Who's there?!
**[20:23] ---**
Snake?
**[20:25] ---**
"You just noticed us?"
**[20:27] ---**
...says Wordsworth.
**[20:29] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[20:31] ---**
"The food was delicious,
so he's been sharing it with us."
**[20:35] ---**
...says Donne.
**[20:39] ---**
It really was!
And the cakes were delicious, too!
**[20:42] ---**
I wanted to get you the one with the
strawberries on top, since you love them.
**[20:47] ---**
See?
**[20:50] ---**
Hmm?
**[21:08] ---**
That's not the one from before. There are more?!
**[21:14] ---**
"Leave it to us!"
**[21:15] ---**
...says Wilde.
**[21:17] ---**
That's the Aurora Society's insignia.
**[21:20] ---**
Stoker must have brought another corpse with him.
**[21:23] ---**
Snake, I'll do something about him.
You guard Lizzie!
**[21:29] ---**
Snake! Are you listening to--
**[21:33] ---**
"There are lots more bird insignia over there."
**[21:36] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[21:45] ---**
Don't tell me these are *all*...
**[22:25] ---**
You're as good as he says you are.
**[22:27] ---**
Thank you.
**[22:27] ---**
Whoops, time to go.
**[22:35] ---**
I shouldn't have dallied.
**[22:41] ---**
They make me write
crazy-long apology letters if I'm late.
**[22:44] ---**
Gotta do the job right!
**[22:46] ---**
See you later, Sebas-*chan*!☆
**[22:50] ---**
What?
**[22:54] ---**
Run, Lizzie!
**[23:07] ---**
Ciel!
**[23:14] ---**
"Smile!
**[23:16] ---**
Up here, quick!"
**[23:17] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[23:31] ---**
"What are they? Our venom doesn't
work on them, and they smell awful!"
**[23:35] ---**
...says Webster.
**[23:37] ---**
I don't know the details, but we seem
to have walking corpses on our hands.
**[23:43] ---**
C-Corpses?
**[23:47] ---**
What's happening?!
**[23:52] ---**
Snake, send your serpents!
**[23:54] ---**
"There are too many, even for us!"
**[23:56] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[24:00] ---**
C-Ciel!
**[24:02] ---**
It's all right!
**[24:03] ---**
I swear I'll protect you...
no matter what the cost!
**[24:09] ---**
Well said, young master.
**[24:17] ---**
Spoken like a true English gentleman.
**[24:20] ---**
Sebastian!
**[24:21] ---**
Quit loitering and get rid of these things!
**[24:24] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[24:30] ---**
It's rather lacking in style,
but if I simply need to destroy the heads...
**[24:38] ---**
...this method is fastest.
**[25:00] ---**
Spraying red, dancing black...
**[25:07] ---**
This is... what I saw that day...
**[25:32] ---**
It's finished, young master.
**[25:38] ---**
What's the matter? Here, come down.
**[25:45] ---**
Don't touch us with those gloves.
You'll soil our clothes.
**[25:48] ---**
I beg your pardon, my lord.
**[26:00] ---**
Can't you be a bit more elegant?
You're like a beast.
**[26:05] ---**
My apologies, but time was of the essence.
**[26:11] ---**
Their bodies are evidently weaker
than a normal human's, as well.
**[26:16] ---**
Why would anyone bring so many of them aboard?
**[26:20] ---**
As to that...
**[26:26] ---**
...I believe it best to ask *him*.
**[26:28] ---**
Ryan Stoker.
**[26:30] ---**
No, the perfect salvation just went imperfectly!
**[26:34] ---**
I didn't intend to bring anyone
back in such an unhealthy state!
**[26:37] ---**
And how could I know that
bodies in the hold would wake up?!
**[26:41] ---**
No need to hurry, sir. We have
plenty of time until we reach New York.
**[26:45] ---**
Do tell us the whole story.
**[26:47] ---**
Please, wait!
**[26:49] ---**
For what? They've all been disposed of.
**[26:52] ---**
No, they haven't!
**[26:54] ---**
There's a giant boiler in the center of the ship
**[26:58] ---**
that uses the newest reciprocating engine.
**[27:01] ---**
The boiler room divides the hold in two!
**[27:05] ---**
And?
**[27:07] ---**
I'm trying to say that
there's another cargo area...
**[27:12] ---**
...carrying ten times
the test subjects stored here!
**[27:16] ---**
Ten times?!
**[27:41] ---**
Oi.
**[27:42] ---**
What is it?
**[27:43] ---**
A warning from a ship ahead of us.
**[27:46] ---**
What?!
**[27:48] ---**
We're in trouble!
**[27:52] ---**
Run this to the captain!
**[27:54] ---**
Aye-aye!
**[28:03] ---**
Damn!
**[28:08] ---**
Then right now, the ship is...?
**[28:10] ---**
Crawling with zombies, I assume.
**[28:14] ---**
Oh, no!
**[28:15] ---**
Sebastian, you go escort the marchioness
and her family somewhere safe.
**[28:19] ---**
And the rest of you?
**[28:21] ---**
We'd only slow you down.
**[28:23] ---**
I have a gun. We can manage for a while.
**[28:27] ---**
Come straight back once they're safe.
**[28:30] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[28:35] ---**
Now, then...
**[28:37] ---**
Let's have your story.
**[28:39] ---**
First, how can those things be stopped?
**[28:44] ---**
I presume you wouldn't transport such
dangerous creatures with no safeguards.
**[28:49] ---**
There's another way to stop them
besides destroying them all, correct?
**[28:53] ---**
Well, yes...
**[28:55] ---**
In my cabin, there's a device
which emits special ultrasonic waves
**[29:00] ---**
that can short-circuit
perfect salvation patients.
**[29:04] ---**
Take us there.
**[29:09] ---**
What?
**[29:17] ---**
Are you hurt, my lady?
**[29:19] ---**
Butler!
**[29:20] ---**
What are these things?!
**[29:22] ---**
I don't know the details.
**[29:24] ---**
I can tell you that the only way
to stop them is to destroy their heads.
**[29:38] ---**
It seems you're telling the truth.
**[29:40] ---**
Given the situation, I'll forgive you
your unseemly hair and face for today.
**[29:45] ---**
Thank you, my lady.
**[29:47] ---**
Butler! Where is Lizzie?
**[29:50] ---**
She's with my young master.
Both of them are all right.
**[29:55] ---**
If they're together, there's no need to fear.
**[29:57] ---**
Yes, that child won't fail
to protect their betrothed.
**[30:01] ---**
"No matter what the cost" were his exact words.
**[30:04] ---**
The two of them ordered me
to take your family somewhere safe.
**[30:08] ---**
Out of the question!
**[30:11] ---**
The Midfords are a family of knights whose
marquessate has always protected England.
**[30:17] ---**
Leaving her people in danger
violates the code of chivalry.
**[30:23] ---**
An English knight always protects the weak!
**[30:27] ---**
--Right, Mother?
--Right, Frances?
**[30:29] ---**
Indeed!
**[30:30] ---**
Go back to the children at once.
**[30:33] ---**
But...
**[30:34] ---**
Do you doubt our swordsmanship skills?
**[30:38] ---**
Very well, my lady. Take care.
**[30:41] ---**
Come along!
**[30:42] ---**
Tell Ciel he'll answer to me
if my sister comes to harm.
**[30:47] ---**
I shall.
**[30:54] ---**
See? Told you we wouldn't meet again alive.
**[30:56] ---**
You're on the list, after all.
**[30:59] ---**
I hate this assignment, seriously.
**[31:02] ---**
I'm already so busy,
and it's just getting started.
**[31:11] ---**
Brrrr!
**[31:13] ---**
Does it seem noisier than usual down below?
**[31:15] ---**
It's probably just the usual drunken...
**[31:32] ---**
Why won't anyone answer?!
**[31:33] ---**
If we don't change course...!
**[31:43] ---**
I'm *so* gonna have to work overtime.
**[31:45] ---**
And I'm a no-overtime man!
**[31:48] ---**
The administrators are asking too much,
assigning all these collections...
**[31:53] ---**
...to two reapers!
**[31:56] ---**
It's just bad manners,
**[32:00] ---**
ramming something so big
into a girl her very first time.
**[32:03] ---**
It'll *break* her.
**[32:14] ---**
A maiden voyage soaked in blood!
**[32:17] ---**
It can't be stopped!
**[32:20] ---**
There's no taking it back!
**[32:22] ---**
The ship has sailed now!
**[32:27] ---**
That *little death* came with *big regrets*!☆
**[32:46] ---**
Why is the ship rocking?
**[32:47] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[32:55] ---**
Don't tell me we hit that iceberg?
**[33:00] ---**
Watertight doors.
**[33:04] ---**
This should keep the water out for a while.
**[33:08] ---**
But with everyone in the wheelhouse dead...
**[33:13] ---**
This promises to be a beastly night.
**[33:23] ---**
Oi, don't get distracted!
**[33:25] ---**
Just feel the sea breeze.
It's caressing my whole body!
**[33:33] ---**
Uh, Senior Sutcliff, is this
some new way of hazing me...?
**[33:37] ---**
If I had my choice,
I'd do this with someone hotter!
**[33:45] ---**
Forget it. You're no fun to play off of.
**[33:49] ---**
Ugh! We seriously have no time for this!
**[33:53] ---**
Just look at this list. We have
to collect another 1,034 people!
**[33:59] ---**
Soul collection is an absolute law for reapers.
**[34:02] ---**
Let's get this over with.
**[34:11] ---**
It's steadied...
**[34:14] ---**
What rocked the ship just now?
**[34:24] ---**
That alarm means the door is about to close!
**[34:28] ---**
Hurry, or you'll be trapped!
**[34:32] ---**
Lizzie!
**[34:34] ---**
Ciel!
**[34:36] ---**
It's too late, kid!
**[34:39] ---**
Lizzie!
**[34:40] ---**
Ci--
**[34:50] ---**
Ciel, why?
**[34:52] ---**
I promised you I'd protect you.
**[34:55] ---**
Snake! You and the others go on ahead!
**[34:59] ---**
"We can't leave you!"
**[35:01] ---**
...says Emily.
**[35:07] ---**
Don't worry. We'll get out through the ducts.
**[35:10] ---**
Too much cold water isn't
good for your friends, right?
**[35:14] ---**
Go!
**[35:20] ---**
"Smile! Keats will guide you through the ducts!
**[35:25] ---**
Let's meet up later!"
**[35:27] ---**
...says Emily.
**[35:29] ---**
I guarantee it.
**[35:45] ---**
Lizzie, take off your frock.
**[35:49] ---**
No!
**[35:50] ---**
Don't be selfish! That skirt
will get in the way as you crawl--
**[35:53] ---**
I won't do it! I want
to be cute for you until the end!
**[36:05] ---**
If you die...
**[36:07] ---**
...you can't wear your
favorite dresses ever again!
**[36:10] ---**
If you die, that's the end! Of everything!
**[36:17] ---**
I-I'm sorry.
**[36:24] ---**
I'll ask Nina to make you a new dress.
One much better than this one.
**[36:31] ---**
So...
**[36:32] ---**
No, Ciel, I'm sorry for being selfish.
**[36:37] ---**
And I'm sorry for treating you roughly.
**[36:41] ---**
Come on, let's go.
**[36:45] ---**
This way, mate, hurry!
**[36:49] ---**
"Where did he go?!"
**[36:50] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[36:54] ---**
You bastard!
**[36:57] ---**
"Stop, you lout!"
**[36:59] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[37:15] ---**
Even a quick glance was enough
to tell that the damage is extensive.
**[37:22] ---**
Three... no, four compartments
are likely full of water.
**[37:28] ---**
Which means...
**[37:35] ---**
There's just no end to them!
**[37:40] ---**
What do you say we stop this?
**[37:42] ---**
After all, in less than an hour...
**[37:45] ---**
...the ship will sink.
**[37:48] ---**
The water temperature is roughly 2°.
**[37:52] ---**
Prolonged exposure would
endanger my master's health.
**[37:59] ---**
I must fetch him quickly.
**[38:15] ---**
Here, I'll write you a cheque!
You'll live in luxury when we land!
**[38:19] ---**
Hurry up!
**[38:22] ---**
Let's go take down the lifeboats.
**[38:24] ---**
But what if there are more of them on the deck?
**[38:32] ---**
What the devil?!
**[38:35] ---**
We're done for!
**[38:38] ---**
Don't give up!
**[38:50] ---**
A first-rate butler has
no trouble slicing a carriage in half.
**[38:54] ---**
I must say, this situation is ridiculous.
**[38:58] ---**
Still, if we let all the passengers die,
Her Majesty would be most grieved.
**[39:09] ---**
We'll hold them off here.
**[39:11] ---**
Anyone uninjured should go
and help with the lifeboats.
**[39:15] ---**
Look sharp!
**[39:15] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[39:18] ---**
Will you be all right, Grey?
They are monsters, you know.
**[39:22] ---**
I don't fear anything my sword can cut.
**[39:27] ---**
In that case... en garde!
**[39:31] ---**
All shall be as Her Majesty wishes!
**[39:37] ---**
Ciel!
**[39:38] ---**
That... didn't hurt?
**[39:40] ---**
Sebastian!
**[39:42] ---**
I apologize for my tardiness.
**[39:45] ---**
Are you all right, my lord, my lady?
**[39:48] ---**
Yes! Ciel protected me.
**[39:53] ---**
Lady Scotney and her family?
**[39:54] ---**
They're all right, my lord.
**[39:58] ---**
Thank you, Sebastian!
**[40:00] ---**
Now, then, the crew is readying lifeboats.
**[40:03] ---**
Let's hurry to the deck.
**[40:15] ---**
I spy a gorgeous man!
**[40:18] ---**
You.
**[40:20] ---**
Grell Sutcliff.
**[40:22] ---**
Hi, Sebas-*chan*!
**[40:25] ---**
It must be fate that brought us together today!
**[40:28] ---**
Sheer coincidence.
**[40:29] ---**
Oh, you're so cold!
I've always loved that about you.
**[40:35] ---**
Shoot, we found him.
**[40:37] ---**
--Your skin is as flawless as ever.
--Senior Sutcliff, please don't
forget about soul collecting.
**[40:41] ---**
Ronald! Why didn't you
*tell* me Sebas-*chan* was here?!
**[40:45] ---**
I would've put makeup on and--
**[40:48] ---**
Oi! Hold it right there!
**[40:51] ---**
I'm afraid we're in a hurry.
Might I ask you to move?
**[40:55] ---**
And if I refuse?
**[40:58] ---**
I'll force you.
**[40:59] ---**
That's fine. I don't mind a little force.
**[41:03] ---**
In that case, let's have a death match
more passionate than any romance!
**[41:09] ---**
--Who is that person?
--Just a pervert, my lady.
**[41:12] ---**
Please stand back; he may be contagious.
**[41:16] ---**
How rude! I simply don't
repress my feelings, that's all!
**[41:24] ---**
Drat.
**[41:29] ---**
Let's go.
**[41:34] ---**
Young master!
**[41:37] ---**
Forgot I was here, didn't you?
**[41:41] ---**
Lizzie...
**[41:45] ---**
Lizzie!
**[41:47] ---**
My leg...!
**[41:48] ---**
Lizzie, run!
**[41:59] ---**
I'm out of bullets!
**[42:02] ---**
I did want to be cute
for you until the end, Ciel.
**[42:16] ---**
Lizzie!
**[42:51] ---**
You're the one person I never,
ever wanted to show this un-cute side of me.
**[43:02] ---**
But this time... *I'm* going to protect *you*!
**[43:12] ---**
I am Elizabeth, daughter
of the Marquess of Scotney,
**[43:16] ---**
Alexis Leon Midford, Knight Grand Cross!
**[43:22] ---**
Wife of the Queen's guard dog!
**[43:27] ---**
"What are little girls made of?
**[43:31] ---**
Sugar and spice and all things nice.
**[43:38] ---**
That's what little girls are made of."
**[43:45] ---**
"Learn poetry, not philosophy.
Embroidery, not cooking.
**[43:48] ---**
Dancing, not chess."
**[43:51] ---**
"Be an angel, innocent of all things."
**[43:55] ---**
That's what all English roses grow up hearing.
**[44:04] ---**
But...
**[44:05] ---**
One thing about me
was different from other girls.
**[44:13] ---**
Grey, is that Scotney's son,
the one meant to be a brilliant fencer?
**[44:19] ---**
What? Don't be daft, Phips. He's not the one.
**[44:27] ---**
Touché!
**[44:32] ---**
It's the daughter who's brilliant.
**[44:36] ---**
It wasn't the waltz that I danced.
**[44:42] ---**
But one day, Ciel told me...
**[44:46] ---**
We're done for today.
**[44:49] ---**
Ciel, are you all right?
**[44:51] ---**
Strong women are scary, huh?
**[44:55] ---**
I'm glad it's you I'll be marrying, Lizzie.
**[44:58] ---**
My cute fiancé, a year younger than me.
**[45:03] ---**
I decided then...
**[45:06] ---**
...to be a fiancée who let Ciel protect me.
**[45:12] ---**
Then, one day, the fire happened...
**[45:18] ---**
...and that dream was gone forever.
**[45:29] ---**
But...
**[45:32] ---**
Ciel came back!
**[45:35] ---**
With a jet-black butler at his side.
**[45:39] ---**
When he returned,
he'd grown smaller and frailer than me.
**[45:44] ---**
But after a moment, I realized the truth.
**[45:47] ---**
It was really that *I'd* grown bigger.
**[45:52] ---**
I decided then...
**[45:57] ---**
...to become a fiancée who could protect Ciel.
**[46:03] ---**
The other girls my age
wear cute high heels, but...
**[46:17] ---**
Ciel is pushing himself
to stand tall as an adult,
**[46:23] ---**
so for his sake, I wear
childish shoes and smile at his side.
**[46:29] ---**
Low-heeled shoes, Mother's training,
and the swordsmanship to protect you.
**[46:39] ---**
Those...
**[46:42] ---**
...are all the things I'm made of now.
**[46:48] ---**
Aw, I'm soaked!
**[46:53] ---**
I don't care if I'm cute,
if this is how I can protect you!
**[47:01] ---**
No more, my lady.
**[47:04] ---**
Sebas... tian?
**[47:08] ---**
I'm a failure as a butler,
to have put a lady to such trouble.
**[47:14] ---**
I deeply apologize.
**[47:17] ---**
I shall take things from here.
**[47:19] ---**
That took some of the wind out of
my sails, but whatever. Let's continue!
**[47:25] ---**
Smile! Black!
**[47:28] ---**
Snake.
**[47:30] ---**
Where's Stoker?
**[47:32] ---**
"Sorry, he got away."
**[47:34] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[47:37] ---**
Sebastian! We don't have time for those two.
**[47:41] ---**
Stoker is the key to this incident.
We're going after him.
**[47:45] ---**
--What, so if we put the screws on him,
we'll find out about the walking corpses?
--Ryan, Ryan...
**[47:51] ---**
Look at this.
**[47:54] ---**
I see.
**[47:55] ---**
I suppose we really don't have time to play.
**[48:00] ---**
To be honest, we were told
to investigate the corpses, too.
**[48:05] ---**
So I wish I could stay, but we'll
have to stop for today, Sebas-*chan*.
**[48:10] ---**
I promise to dress you
in rosy red next time, darling.
**[48:15] ---**
Toodle-oo!
**[48:17] ---**
We need to hurry, too.
**[48:21] ---**
Oh, no! Let me carry you.
**[48:25] ---**
I'll do that, Lady Elizabeth.
**[48:29] ---**
Oh, right! Yes, of course! What was I thinking?!
**[48:39] ---**
Now I'm one of the scary girls Ciel hates!
**[48:43] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[48:45] ---**
You said a long time ago
that you didn't want a strong wife!
**[48:49] ---**
B-But that was a long time ago!
**[48:52] ---**
And I'm the one who should apologize.
**[48:57] ---**
You'll still marry me, then?
**[49:00] ---**
You won't hate me?
**[49:02] ---**
O-Of course I don't... hate...
**[49:07] ---**
Now isn't the time for this!
**[49:10] ---**
Let's get up on deck!
**[49:12] ---**
How amusing. Even my young master
is a helpless child against Lady Elizabeth.
**[49:18] ---**
You be quiet.
**[49:21] ---**
Shall we be off?
**[49:27] ---**
How long do you plan to laugh?
**[49:33] ---**
Get back! Women and children first!
**[49:36] ---**
And you call yourself an English gentleman?!
**[49:38] ---**
Brother?!
**[49:42] ---**
Thank goodness you're safe!
**[49:46] ---**
Edward, I have a favor to ask.
**[49:49] ---**
I'd like you to put him
on the lifeboat in my place.
**[49:53] ---**
I can't evacuate yet.
**[49:55] ---**
Don't be silly, we have to go!
**[49:57] ---**
"It's dangerous!"
**[49:58] ---**
...says Oscar.
**[49:59] ---**
Ciel, if you're going to stay, then I--
**[50:01] ---**
Butler!
**[50:02] ---**
I feared it would take too long
to convince Lady Elizabeth.
**[50:08] ---**
I leave Lizzie to you.
**[50:11] ---**
Very well.
**[50:14] ---**
Let's go, Sebastian.
**[50:16] ---**
At once.
**[50:17] ---**
No need to come back!
**[50:20] ---**
Then I won't have to see
my beloved sister married to you.
**[50:23] ---**
I'll most certainly be back.
**[50:36] ---**
Damn! The ship is listing like mad. Where is he?
**[50:46] ---**
Hey there, hot stuff.
**[50:49] ---**
Got you!
**[50:52] ---**
Can I take it you're the
one making the corpses move?
**[50:56] ---**
We really can't have these Irregulars around.
**[50:59] ---**
Death is meant to be irreversible in this world.
**[51:04] ---**
So, how do we stop the corpses?
**[51:07] ---**
Th-There's a device in my cabin
that nullifies perfect salvation!
**[51:21] ---**
Be on your guard! Those monsters
could attack again any moment!
**[51:27] ---**
A nearby freight vessel just radioed!
**[51:30] ---**
They'll be here to help in two hours.
**[51:32] ---**
Excellent! Let's get as many
as possible into lifeboats before then.
**[51:36] ---**
Hurry!
**[51:38] ---**
Where did you say that device was, again?
**[51:42] ---**
Impossible... I know it was here!
**[51:45] ---**
Could *he* have taken it?!
**[51:50] ---**
You're...
**[51:51] ---**
Lord Druitt!
**[51:55] ---**
You seem familiar... have we met?
**[51:58] ---**
Ahem. Might that be the
device which stops the corpses?
**[52:04] ---**
Follow me if you'd like to find out.
**[52:07] ---**
Witness the coming of the new dawn
brought by medicine... the Aurora.
**[52:16] ---**
Shall I wrest it from him?
**[52:18] ---**
No, we don't know how to use it.
We'll have him activate--
**[52:25] ---**
Undertaker?!
**[52:27] ---**
Hello!
**[52:28] ---**
What are you doing?
**[52:29] ---**
They snagged me on my way to
the deck and told me to help carry this.
**[52:35] ---**
Listen, do you know how to operate it?
**[52:39] ---**
I don't even know what use it will be, my lord.
**[52:47] ---**
Have a care, gentlemen.
That thing is worth more than your lives.
**[52:52] ---**
Are you going to activate it?
**[52:53] ---**
Not yet. The cast isn't yet assembled.
**[52:57] ---**
"Cast"?
**[52:59] ---**
You bastard! Why did you take it?!
**[53:01] ---**
Hello, Ryan. I've been waiting for you.
**[53:04] ---**
Today is an historic day!
**[53:07] ---**
The empire you built
shall fall overnight like Pompeii,
**[53:10] ---**
and my new empire shall be born!
**[53:14] ---**
With the power of this device,
I shall create a new empire!
**[53:20] ---**
Pardon?
**[53:21] ---**
One ruled with corruption and decadent
beauty by those who have become immortal.
**[53:25] ---**
I call it... the Aurora Empire!
**[53:29] ---**
This is getting complicated.
**[53:31] ---**
I'll bathe him in red!
**[53:34] ---**
Tut tut! You wouldn't
want this machine to be ruined.
**[53:38] ---**
--Excuse me?! What the hell is wrong with you?!
--Whoa, whoa, time out!
**[53:40] ---**
This is true power.
I defeat you with a single wineglass!
**[53:49] ---**
May I kill him?
**[53:50] ---**
No, wait. Though I understand the urge.
**[54:03] ---**
Oi, this is way too many!
**[54:07] ---**
Lord Druitt! Activate the device!
**[54:09] ---**
*Non, non*! I'm not a
viscount anymore. I am Caesar!
**[54:14] ---**
Call me that, and I'll activate it.
**[54:17] ---**
Actually, let's kill him. Now.
**[54:19] ---**
Wait, my lord. Though I understand the urge.
**[54:40] ---**
*Un, deux...*
**[54:44] ---**
...*trois*!
**[54:48] ---**
Pardon me, my lord.
**[54:52] ---**
Ah, gladiators fighting gloriously to the death!
**[54:58] ---**
This is a veritable Colosseum of corruption!
**[55:01] ---**
And I, watching from on high and
sipping my wine, am the emperor Nero!
**[55:08] ---**
Argh! Can we kill him now?!
**[55:11] ---**
You just stopped me from doing it!
**[55:13] ---**
Turn that thing on, you git!
**[55:16] ---**
Very well. The time has
come to found my empire.
**[55:20] ---**
Now, everyone, show me the phoenix dance
as proof of your loyalty to Caesar!
**[55:28] ---**
Let's kill him after all.
**[55:31] ---**
Wouldn't you be bothered
never knowing what the device is?
**[55:37] ---**
Drat.
**[55:38] ---**
What are you waiting for? Come!
**[55:44] ---**
The perfect flame within us...
**[55:47] ---**
...cannot be extinguished.
**[55:50] ---**
We are new...
**[55:53] ---**
...phoenixes!
**[55:56] ---**
Very well, gentlemen, I shall show you
**[55:59] ---**
an undead army bowing down before me!
**[56:11] ---**
Huh?
**[56:14] ---**
*Non*!
**[56:17] ---**
What's the meaning of this?
**[56:18] ---**
Ryan! The device you made doesn't work!
**[56:22] ---**
But...!
**[56:23] ---**
You didn't make it, Druitt?!
**[56:25] ---**
I could hardly make
something like this, could I?
**[56:29] ---**
You bastard! You tricked me?!
**[56:33] ---**
What a farce.
**[56:42] ---**
He really is good...
**[56:44] ---**
Wait, Senior, we're not meant to kill humans!
**[56:56] ---**
It's been a long time since I laughed this much.
**[57:01] ---**
The death of a man this entertaining
would be a loss to the world, if you ask me.
**[57:09] ---**
Don't you agree, little reaper?
**[57:39] ---**
Young master!
**[57:43] ---**
How sad that the laughter
should leave this place.
**[57:54] ---**
Undertaker...?
**[57:56] ---**
You masked your true self masterfully.
**[57:59] ---**
And with your eyes hidden,
even I didn't realize.
**[58:03] ---**
Neither did I. He had me fooled.
**[58:06] ---**
Senior, are his eyes...?
**[58:08] ---**
Yes. That yellow-green
phosphorescence can only mean...
**[58:12] ---**
...a grim reaper!
**[58:16] ---**
That brings back memories.
It's been half a century since I was called that.
**[58:21] ---**
The Undertaker is a grim reaper?
**[58:24] ---**
What's the meaning of this, Undertaker?!
**[58:27] ---**
You told me we could control
the corpses with this device!
**[58:31] ---**
Did I?
**[58:33] ---**
Did you deceive me?!
**[58:34] ---**
Well, it was just so amusing how earnestly you
were trying to bring back the dead with medicine.
**[58:41] ---**
Because I had a goal!
To use medicine to make the world healthy!
**[58:46] ---**
But your work stopped being
"medicine" when you relied on my technology.
**[58:53] ---**
A man who performs surgeries
beyond his understanding on his patients
**[58:57] ---**
is no doctor.
**[59:00] ---**
But...
**[59:06] ---**
You believed what I told you
without the smallest question.
**[59:11] ---**
Good boy.
**[59:14] ---**
So you're the one behind the human
reanimation experiments, Undertaker?
**[59:21] ---**
That's a secret. Or so I'd normally say,
**[59:25] ---**
but you've paid for so much
information with those phoenix poses.
**[59:31] ---**
I'll tell you.
**[59:33] ---**
Yes, I'm the one who
created the walking corpses.
**[59:37] ---**
What for?
**[59:39] ---**
Hmm. At first, I suppose
I was just curious about people.
**[1:00:00] ---**
When a person has both
a flesh body and a soul, she is alive,
**[1:00:07] ---**
and she records all her
life's memories in her Cinematic Record.
**[1:00:13] ---**
When her flesh body perishes
and a reaper collects her soul,
**[1:00:18] ---**
the Record ends, and the quick becomes the dead.
**[1:00:23] ---**
Grim reapers are the ones
to bring endings to the Records
**[1:00:28] ---**
by removing souls from bodies.
**[1:00:33] ---**
Day after day,
without attachment, without incident.
**[1:00:38] ---**
But after spending so many days reaping,
**[1:00:43] ---**
one day, a thought occurred to me.
**[1:00:46] ---**
What if there were more after the ending?
**[1:00:51] ---**
If I added a continuation to the
ending that came when a soul was lost,
**[1:00:56] ---**
what would happen to the flesh body?
**[1:01:01] ---**
Are you telling me you edited Records?
**[1:01:05] ---**
Well, let's see. Why don't you
look at their Records and find out?
**[1:01:29] ---**
--What the hell?!
--Hmm, this is...
**[1:01:32] ---**
What's happening?
**[1:01:34] ---**
I spliced a false Record to the end
that's supposed to come with death,
**[1:01:41] ---**
and so it became never-ending.
**[1:01:45] ---**
And what do you know:
the flesh thought it was still alive,
**[1:01:51] ---**
and began to move again without a soul.
**[1:01:56] ---**
When these bodies awaken,
they instinctively seek the soul they're missing
**[1:02:02] ---**
by ripping open the bodies of the living.
**[1:02:06] ---**
To "balance accounts"
with their unending Cinematic Records.
**[1:02:11] ---**
Then they're ambulatory because
they're coming after our souls?
**[1:02:16] ---**
Not that another's soul could
ever become their own, of course.
**[1:02:23] ---**
They're bizarre dolls, neither living
nor dead, flesh puppets with no self.
**[1:02:31] ---**
Sutured waxy-white skin
as beautiful as it was in life.
**[1:02:37] ---**
A mouth that no longer babbles or lies.
**[1:02:43] ---**
Isn't she far lovelier now than while she lived?
**[1:02:46] ---**
You make me sick.
**[1:02:49] ---**
Clearly you're still a child if you
don't understand the appeal, my lord.
**[1:02:54] ---**
Plenty of people desire
my bizarre dolls, you know.
**[1:02:59] ---**
They don't feel pain or fear.
**[1:03:02] ---**
Intent on finding a soul,
they consume the living.
**[1:03:06] ---**
The perfect military animals, are they not?
**[1:03:11] ---**
A certain group of eccentrics wanted
to see how effectively they could be used,
**[1:03:17] ---**
so I decided to put an equal number
of humans and bizarre dolls on a luxury liner
**[1:03:21] ---**
and conduct an experiment.
**[1:03:23] ---**
In a battle to the death,
which will survive, and how many?
**[1:03:29] ---**
You're unhinged.
**[1:03:32] ---**
I must say, though,
I never dreamed we'd hit an iceberg.
**[1:03:37] ---**
I don't have a To-Die List anymore,
now that I've quit the reaper job.
**[1:03:41] ---**
Still, it saves me the
trouble of sinking the ship.
**[1:03:49] ---**
Now we really can't let this slide.
**[1:03:52] ---**
Agreed. Reapers have
no business distorting death.
**[1:03:57] ---**
He's got no glasses, though. Is he one
of those job deserters we sometimes get?
**[1:04:01] ---**
Hell if I care.
Either way, it's against the rules
**[1:04:04] ---**
for a reaper to interfere with life
and death in the human world!
**[1:04:09] ---**
Never thought I'd hear that from *you*.
**[1:04:11] ---**
More to the point...
**[1:04:13] ---**
I don't care how hot you are, it's an
unforgivable crime to cut a girl's face!
**[1:04:22] ---**
Got behind you--
**[1:04:29] ---**
What was that for, Sebas-*chan*?
**[1:04:31] ---**
I can't very well let you take him away.
**[1:04:36] ---**
We have a duty to present
the truth to the Queen.
**[1:04:40] ---**
We can't let him get away.
**[1:04:43] ---**
This is a reaper problem. Stay out of it!
**[1:04:48] ---**
This is a butler's job. Please stay out of it.
**[1:04:52] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[1:04:54] ---**
Your stoicism is as
thrilling as ever, Sebas-*chan*.
**[1:04:59] ---**
Fine. If it's a fight you want,
I'll show no restraint!
**[1:05:03] ---**
The fact that you know the word
"restraint" is today's greatest surprise.
**[1:05:09] ---**
So, simply put, the fastest one wins.
**[1:05:13] ---**
Can't see myself losing to an old man like you.
**[1:05:17] ---**
This is just like a rabbiting.
**[1:05:20] ---**
So...
**[1:05:22] ---**
...who is to be the slain rabbit?
**[1:06:01] ---**
Whoops, thought you were him.
**[1:06:03] ---**
Perhaps you need an eye exam.
**[1:06:06] ---**
Reapers are all terribly nearsighted.
**[1:06:09] ---**
That puts you at a disadvantage!
**[1:06:14] ---**
I sliced it?
**[1:06:15] ---**
Then was that...?
**[1:06:24] ---**
My glasses!
**[1:06:26] ---**
You have a long way to go,
if you're still relying on your eyes.
**[1:06:30] ---**
Can I really be hunted with those tiny utensils?
**[1:06:34] ---**
Our silverware is the very sharpest.
**[1:06:38] ---**
So I see.
**[1:06:42] ---**
What's wrong, lads? Is that all
you can do, even three against one?
**[1:06:47] ---**
I thought you were going to bag me?
**[1:06:51] ---**
He seriously pisses me off...
**[1:06:53] ---**
The ship is really tilting now.
We don't have time to make this pretty!
**[1:06:58] ---**
We'll have to go head-on!
**[1:07:03] ---**
Again?! Impossible.
**[1:07:05] ---**
There shouldn't be anything
a death scythe can't cut!
**[1:07:08] ---**
How can you be blocking us?!
**[1:07:11] ---**
"A death scythe can cut anything," eh?
Haven't you ever questioned that slogan?
**[1:07:20] ---**
There is something it can't cut,
isn't there? One thing.
**[1:07:24] ---**
--No...
--No way!
**[1:07:40] ---**
What?
**[1:07:41] ---**
That's...
**[1:07:47] ---**
...a death scythe!
**[1:07:50] ---**
Ah, of course. If multiple death scythes exist,
**[1:07:54] ---**
then the claim that
one can cut anything is false.
**[1:07:59] ---**
I thought all retirees'
scythes were confiscated...
**[1:08:02] ---**
We'd been together for so long,
I couldn't bear to part with it.
**[1:08:06] ---**
Smuggling it out was hard work.
**[1:08:09] ---**
Well, shall I hunt you now?
Like poor little rabbits in a warren.
**[1:08:45] ---**
It's no use. I can slice a table
as easily as snapping a biscuit.
**[1:08:51] ---**
I merely wanted to get in close.
**[1:08:55] ---**
You're a good strategist. In that case...
**[1:09:02] ---**
...so shall I be.
**[1:09:04] ---**
Now you'll finally enter one
of my special coffins, my lord.
**[1:09:12] ---**
I knew you'd come!
**[1:09:37] ---**
Human lives may be frail,
**[1:09:39] ---**
but dragging one along
with you is a lot of work, butler.
**[1:09:45] ---**
I've always wondered...
**[1:09:48] ---**
...why vermin such as yourself
would don a uniform and play butler.
**[1:09:54] ---**
I'm going to watch your Record.
**[1:09:59] ---**
Sebastian!
**[1:10:05] ---**
Ah, he is calling.
**[1:10:09] ---**
In sorrow, in anger,
in despair, he spits out curses...
**[1:10:18] ---**
He is summoning me.
**[1:10:22] ---**
What is your name?
**[1:10:26] ---**
My name... is Ciel. Ciel Phantomhive.
**[1:10:33] ---**
Heir to the Phantomhive earldom.
**[1:10:37] ---**
I see. Very well, then.
**[1:10:41] ---**
I must assume a form
befitting the servant of an earl.
**[1:10:50] ---**
Now, give me my first order...
**[1:10:55] ---**
...my little lord.
**[1:11:00] ---**
He wished three things of me:
**[1:11:04] ---**
To protect him and never betray him
until he carried out his revenge.
**[1:11:08] ---**
To follow his orders with absolute obedience.
**[1:11:11] ---**
And to never lie.
**[1:11:15] ---**
I suspected all three tasks
would prove difficult to do
**[1:11:19] ---**
while smartly carrying out
the duties of an earl's butler.
**[1:11:21] ---**
Someone out there tried
to wipe out the Phantomhives.
**[1:11:26] ---**
The previous earl lost his fight.
But the next time...
**[1:11:31] ---**
...I won't lose.
**[1:11:34] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive, head of
the Phantomhives, will not lose.
**[1:11:42] ---**
What's so funny?!
**[1:11:43] ---**
Only that you instructed me not to lie,
yet you're quite the liar yourself.
**[1:11:51] ---**
How troublesome he is... but even
if this takes a full human lifetime,
**[1:11:58] ---**
it will be the mere blink of an eye to me.
**[1:12:01] ---**
As long as it passes some time and
fills my stomach, that's enough for me.
**[1:12:07] ---**
Well, then, master, let us return to your manor.
**[1:12:12] ---**
I don't know where it is.
**[1:12:13] ---**
Eh?
**[1:12:15] ---**
I have a relative at
London Hospital. We'll ask her.
**[1:12:20] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[1:12:23] ---**
What an incredibly sheltered little rich boy.
**[1:12:28] ---**
Wait, demon.
**[1:12:30] ---**
What's your name?
**[1:12:31] ---**
Whatever you like, master.
**[1:12:34] ---**
All right...
**[1:12:38] ---**
"Sebastian."
**[1:12:40] ---**
From now on, you are Sebastian.
**[1:12:43] ---**
Very good, my lord.
Please call me "Sebastian," then.
**[1:12:49] ---**
Was that your last butler's name?
**[1:12:51] ---**
No, my dog's name.
**[1:12:54] ---**
Scratch that. What an incredibly
nasty little brat I've agreed to serve...
**[1:13:06] ---**
This is a great deal of damage.
**[1:13:09] ---**
Young master?
**[1:13:22] ---**
Father... Mother...
**[1:13:27] ---**
It was both the first and the last time
I heard him call his parents that.
**[1:13:37] ---**
The sun is setting, young master.
You'll catch a chill from the night air.
**[1:13:42] ---**
There's a pub nearby with lodgings.
We'll stay there tonight.
**[1:13:46] ---**
No need for that.
**[1:13:53] ---**
--This can't be true!
--I promised you: I don't lie.
**[1:14:01] ---**
I can't believe it...
**[1:14:03] ---**
An earl's butler who can't
do this much isn't worth his salt.
**[1:14:12] ---**
Come. From now on, this is your castle.
**[1:14:21] ---**
Welcome home, master.
**[1:14:25] ---**
Ouch! Don't just pour hot water willy-nilly!
Check the temperature!
**[1:14:30] ---**
My apologies. I'll be more careful next time.
**[1:14:33] ---**
Now, if I may--
**[1:14:35] ---**
Ow, ow, that's enough! Don't touch me!
**[1:14:38] ---**
I'm done bathing!
**[1:14:39] ---**
You're still dirty. I can't have you
dying on me from infected wounds--
**[1:14:44] ---**
Get out!
**[1:14:47] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[1:14:51] ---**
That cheeky brat.
**[1:14:55] ---**
What happened?!
**[1:14:56] ---**
I only slipped trying to fetch the towel.
**[1:15:00] ---**
You've had a long and tiring day. I'll wash you.
**[1:15:04] ---**
I said no!
**[1:15:07] ---**
Enough stubbornness. Humans are weak animals
**[1:15:11] ---**
who can die from the tiniest germ
entering the tiniest scrape.
**[1:15:15] ---**
You're a child who can't even bandage himself,
so stop causing me trouble.
**[1:15:25] ---**
Humans are shamelessly
hungry in any situation, aren't they?
**[1:15:29] ---**
Be quiet.
**[1:15:32] ---**
If I may...
**[1:15:38] ---**
Please, eat as much as you like.
**[1:15:42] ---**
Sebastian, don't do these things so lightly.
**[1:15:46] ---**
Why not?
**[1:15:47] ---**
Anyone who sees you will be suspicious.
**[1:15:50] ---**
You would have me use human methods
for every little thing? How tiresome.
**[1:15:55] ---**
You're my butler. Do as I say.
**[1:15:58] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[1:16:04] ---**
Oh dear, was it not to your liking?
**[1:16:07] ---**
It's oily and spicy and over-salted!
**[1:16:09] ---**
Ah, this menu must be too heavy for you
after spending so much time in that place.
**[1:16:15] ---**
I'll make a risotto.
**[1:16:16] ---**
Never mind! I'm going to bed!
**[1:16:24] ---**
Pardon me.
**[1:16:26] ---**
What is it?
**[1:16:28] ---**
I've brought you some hot milk.
You need to eat something.
**[1:16:34] ---**
I don't want it. It's probably terrible, too.
**[1:16:37] ---**
I only heated the milk.
I didn't flavor it with anything.
**[1:16:40] ---**
I wouldn't know whether
it tastes good, but will you try it?
**[1:16:47] ---**
Is there honey?
**[1:16:49] ---**
As much as you like.
**[1:16:51] ---**
*Jiiya* scolded me for eating honey before bed.
He said it decayed the teeth.
**[1:16:56] ---**
Then I shall as well, starting tomorrow.
**[1:17:13] ---**
Sebastian... the hot milk was good.
**[1:17:18] ---**
I'm happy to hear it, young master.
**[1:17:20] ---**
Also...
**[1:17:22] ---**
You'll be in trouble if breakfast is
as ghastly as what you made today.
**[1:17:26] ---**
I have no interest in living on
a hot-milk-only diet like a puppy.
**[1:17:32] ---**
Today's breakfast was awful, too!
**[1:17:35] ---**
I'm sorry, my lord.
My sense of taste differs from a human's.
**[1:17:40] ---**
We have much to do from now on.
**[1:17:43] ---**
There are too many things
I don't know about this house.
**[1:17:46] ---**
That's not all.
**[1:17:48] ---**
As the family head, you'll need to acquire
the knowledge and education of an adult.
**[1:17:53] ---**
With your permission,
I shall be your instructor.
**[1:17:57] ---**
You?
**[1:17:59] ---**
I wasn't born yesterday.
Will Spartan education suit?
**[1:18:03] ---**
That's good enough.
**[1:18:05] ---**
We're still a fake earl and his fake butler.
**[1:18:09] ---**
We must become real faster than anyone else.
**[1:18:14] ---**
Very good, my lord.
**[1:18:19] ---**
Another mistranslation.
**[1:18:21] ---**
Have you already forgotten
making the same mistake yesterday?
**[1:18:25] ---**
Show me your hands.
**[1:18:29] ---**
Do it over again.
**[1:18:33] ---**
Today's tea is a Darjeeling, my lord.
**[1:18:36] ---**
Sebastian, show me your hands.
**[1:18:41] ---**
This isn't tea; this is
tea-colored water. Do it over.
**[1:18:48] ---**
You're slumping, and your shoulder is too loose.
**[1:18:52] ---**
You'll never be able to go
shooting on horseback like that.
**[1:18:57] ---**
This fork is cloudy. You'd give your master
dirty silverware to eat with? Do it over!
**[1:19:06] ---**
Never let an animal sense fear, my lord.
**[1:19:09] ---**
Now face forward and try again.
**[1:19:19] ---**
You're being too loud, Sebastian!
**[1:19:22] ---**
My apologies. Subduing so
many intruders took some time.
**[1:19:26] ---**
Next time you disturb
my sleep, you'll pay for it!
**[1:19:33] ---**
He woke up every night even
without such disturbances, however.
**[1:19:44] ---**
All right, young master?
**[1:19:46] ---**
Who is it?
**[1:19:50] ---**
Sebastian. I am your butler.
**[1:19:54] ---**
Sebastian?
**[1:19:56] ---**
Did you have another bad dream?
**[1:19:58] ---**
Everyone is lying there dead.
They're glaring at me.
**[1:20:03] ---**
You and I are the only ones in the manor.
There's no one else here.
**[1:20:08] ---**
Nothing will happen today?
**[1:20:10] ---**
No, it's a quiet night. Now, lie down.
**[1:20:13] ---**
Don't touch me!
**[1:20:15] ---**
Don't touch me. Don't... touch me...
**[1:20:21] ---**
I'll take my leave, then.
Call me if you need anything.
**[1:20:26] ---**
Stay.
**[1:20:28] ---**
Stay there.
**[1:20:30] ---**
Until I fall asleep.
**[1:20:35] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[1:20:45] ---**
Excellent. A perfect score!
**[1:20:53] ---**
Adequate.
**[1:20:58] ---**
Brilliantly done.
**[1:21:05] ---**
I must insist that all guests
knock properly at the front door.
**[1:21:10] ---**
And at a time when children
like my master are awake.
**[1:21:24] ---**
My goodness.
**[1:21:42] ---**
Welcome home, Lord Phantomhive.
I am most pleased by your return.
**[1:21:54] ---**
You could have watched from up close.
**[1:21:57] ---**
You're practically family to Ciel now.
**[1:22:01] ---**
I would never presume to think myself family.
**[1:22:04] ---**
I am merely... one hell of a butler.
**[1:22:11] ---**
You are now officially the earl.
**[1:22:15] ---**
The rank, fortune,
and beautiful fiancée are all yours.
**[1:22:21] ---**
Perhaps you should let go of this
silly revenge and lead a happy life?
**[1:22:29] ---**
That wouldn't be bad.
**[1:22:35] ---**
But I didn't come back here to be *happy*.
**[1:22:41] ---**
I came to fight.
**[1:22:44] ---**
Bearing the name Ciel Phantomhive
**[1:22:48] ---**
gives me no choice but to move forward.
**[1:22:50] ---**
I swear by my cursed name
that I will have my vengeance!
**[1:22:56] ---**
Ah, the sight of him turning
his back on the light with no hesitation
**[1:23:01] ---**
and striding into the
jaws of hell with a noble gait...
**[1:23:05] ---**
How utterly beautiful and foolish.
**[1:23:09] ---**
This is an order, Sebastian:
become my sword and my shield.
**[1:23:16] ---**
Bring me victory!
**[1:23:23] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[1:23:28] ---**
I shall bring you the
crown of victory without fail.
**[1:23:32] ---**
I just know that when I make
that crown of despair mine,
**[1:23:36] ---**
your soul will taste exquisite.
**[1:23:43] ---**
Sebastian!
**[1:23:53] ---**
Leave it to the star butler.
I was certain you'd protect the earl for me.
**[1:24:08] ---**
Sebastian... Oi! Sebastian! Sebas--
**[1:24:13] ---**
No need to repeat yourself.
I can hear you just fine.
**[1:24:20] ---**
Your Record was quite entertaining.
**[1:24:24] ---**
But it seems you bring
the earl nothing but misfortune.
**[1:24:28] ---**
So, I believe I'll remove you.
**[1:24:38] ---**
Uh-oh!
**[1:24:38] ---**
No, already?!
**[1:24:41] ---**
Oh, dear.
**[1:24:42] ---**
Blast it.
**[1:24:56] ---**
Stoker!
**[1:25:00] ---**
Ryan Stoker. Born August 24, 1854;
died in a fall April 20, 1889.
**[1:25:10] ---**
No notes of interest.
**[1:25:12] ---**
Sebas-*chan*, as you can see,
we really are out of time.
**[1:25:16] ---**
Sorry, but I'm taking him.
**[1:25:20] ---**
You lie there and watch!
**[1:25:22] ---**
I wo--
**[1:25:25] ---**
Senior Sutcliff! You take care of that one.
**[1:25:28] ---**
I'll get rid of this one while he's weakened.
**[1:25:36] ---**
I can't have you underestimating my butler.
**[1:25:39] ---**
You call this "weakened"?
That joke is hardly even laughable.
**[1:25:43] ---**
Am I right, Sebastian?
**[1:25:45] ---**
Quite, my lord.
**[1:25:50] ---**
Now I feel like I'm just bullying the weak...
**[1:25:55] ---**
Eh?
**[1:26:05] ---**
What was that about "bullying the weak"?
**[1:26:27] ---**
I knew I'd seen you somewhere before...
**[1:26:29] ---**
You're that reaper who was Madam Red's butler.
**[1:26:33] ---**
You're dragging a human life behind you as well.
**[1:26:36] ---**
No one likes a nosy man!
**[1:26:41] ---**
Isn't your time almost up?
**[1:26:45] ---**
I'm no Cinderella--I can't just
leave a hottie behind and go home!
**[1:26:55] ---**
Ronald?!
**[1:26:57] ---**
Young people these days
are such weaklings, aren't they?
**[1:27:01] ---**
Now all that's left is...
**[1:27:06] ---**
Young master!
**[1:27:25] ---**
L-Look! The ship!
**[1:27:36] ---**
The time has come for us to part.
I've had a good time, though.
**[1:27:56] ---**
My lord, I'll let you hold
on to that for a while.
**[1:28:00] ---**
Take good care of it,
won't you? It's my treasure.
**[1:28:05] ---**
Wait, Undertaker!
**[1:28:07] ---**
Until we meet again, my lord.
**[1:28:17] ---**
The ship...!
**[1:28:44] ---**
Take a deep breath.
**[1:28:46] ---**
Eh? What...
**[1:28:47] ---**
Forgive me, my lord, but needs must!
**[1:29:27] ---**
It took longer than expected
to get this from the sinking ship.
**[1:29:30] ---**
Please, wear this.
**[1:29:32] ---**
I apologize that I'm unable
to prepare you a hot cup of tea.
**[1:29:37] ---**
There are still other people in--
**[1:29:42] ---**
Humans can't survive these water temperatures.
**[1:29:46] ---**
Behind you!
**[1:29:48] ---**
Sebastian!
**[1:29:50] ---**
They can swim?
**[1:29:53] ---**
I imagine they don't drown
because they require no oxygen.
**[1:30:04] ---**
This is...
**[1:30:07] ---**
Come up here, Sebastian!
**[1:30:14] ---**
Damn. How many of them are there?
**[1:30:16] ---**
I'm afraid I don't know.
**[1:30:18] ---**
They're likely to keep seeking
souls until their bodies give out.
**[1:30:23] ---**
You must be the only living
person in the area, young master.
**[1:30:31] ---**
We can't run, then, or Lizzie
and the others will be targets.
**[1:30:37] ---**
We mustn't endanger the survivors.
**[1:30:40] ---**
Fortunately or unfortunately, it would
seem they only notice the soul nearest them.
**[1:30:47] ---**
We'll stop them here. I trust you can do that?
**[1:30:51] ---**
No need to ask questions of servants.
Give me your order, my lord.
**[1:31:01] ---**
This is an order, Sebastian: exterminate them!
**[1:31:04] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[1:31:08] ---**
This will rock the boat a bit.
Please hold on tightly.
**[1:31:27] ---**
Fascinating.
**[1:31:30] ---**
Even after death, humans trample
others to get what they want.
**[1:31:40] ---**
Truly greedy creatures.
**[1:31:56] ---**
Wh-What are those voices?
**[1:31:57] ---**
What the devil is happening?
**[1:31:59] ---**
There may be survivors! Let's turn back!
**[1:32:03] ---**
But--
**[1:32:04] ---**
It would be dangerous to make
careless moves in this darkness.
**[1:32:07] ---**
And what if those monsters are still about?
**[1:32:10] ---**
I'm scared!
**[1:32:16] ---**
Smile...
**[1:32:49] ---**
Sebastian!
**[1:32:50] ---**
Death scythes do a number even on me...
**[1:32:59] ---**
What could the Undertaker be after?
**[1:33:03] ---**
I couldn't say, but as long
as you have his mourning jewelry,
**[1:33:09] ---**
I'm sure you'll meet again.
**[1:33:14] ---**
Personally, I wouldn't
mind never seeing him again...
**[1:33:18] ---**
I've never seen you like this before.
**[1:33:23] ---**
I am sorry.
**[1:33:24] ---**
I'm a failure as a Phantomhive butler,
letting you see me in such a pitiful state.
**[1:33:35] ---**
It's our rescue.
**[1:33:39] ---**
Sebastian...
**[1:33:41] ---**
I can't have the Phantomhive
butler in that state for long.
**[1:33:46] ---**
Get some rest once we're back
at the manor. You did well today.
**[1:33:52] ---**
Young master...
**[1:33:55] ---**
Please, stop. It isn't
like you to say such things.
**[1:34:00] ---**
And I don't fancy a storm now.
**[1:34:23] ---**
*Somewhere in the distance,
I heard the sound of you breaking*
**[1:34:42] ---**
*The darkness reflecting off the water,
the depth of the clear sky*
**[1:34:53] ---**
*Cloud our path and
obscure our proper destination*
**[1:35:04] ---**
*Accept the loss of old times, then let's
turn away and start rowing into the night*
**[1:35:14] ---**
*When I hold you in my arms, your delicate future*
**[1:35:19] ---**
*Seems ready to break, and so beautiful*
**[1:35:25] ---**
*I want to protect you,
even if it means sacrificing everything*
**[1:35:43] ---**
*The thoughts that keep you awake at night*
**[1:35:54] ---**
*Aren't ones I can gently brush away for you*
**[1:36:05] ---**
*But I'm not afraid, so come on,
take my hand and let's fall together*
**[1:36:18] ---**
*When I hold you in my arms, your delicate future*
**[1:36:23] ---**
*Seems ready to break, and so beautiful*
**[1:36:29] ---**
*I want to protect you,
even if it means sacrificing everything*
**[1:36:58] ---**
*Faintly, from somewhere in the distance,
I thought I heard you breaking*
**[1:37:09] ---**
*Let's end this pain that won't
stop clamoring and won't be satisfied*
**[1:37:21] ---**
*When I hold you in my arms, your delicate future*
**[1:37:26] ---**
*Seems ready to break, and so beautiful*
**[1:37:32] ---**
*I'll protect you with my own hands,
even if it means sacrificing everything*
**[1:38:16] ---**
For goodness's sake.
**[1:38:18] ---**
To think you couldn't even
manage a collection properly!
**[1:38:23] ---**
Did you get too lazy during your suspension?
**[1:38:26] ---**
Have a little consideration for *me*,
being sent after you when this isn't my job.
**[1:38:31] ---**
I'll have to work late again today!
**[1:38:34] ---**
Get up, Grell Sutcliff and Ronald Knox!
**[1:38:38] ---**
Owie...
**[1:38:40] ---**
Will! You came to fetch me!
**[1:38:43] ---**
Huh?
**[1:38:45] ---**
I'm not "fetching" anyone.
**[1:38:48] ---**
I'm cleaning up the mess
of a certain useless temp worker.
**[1:38:52] ---**
Now start collecting at once.
**[1:38:55] ---**
Ah, that human-rights-violating
gaze colder than the sea!
**[1:38:59] ---**
It makes me hot all over!
**[1:39:01] ---**
--Well, you're in fine fettle.
--I will be waiting for you, Will!
**[1:39:06] ---**
Oi, Will? Will, are you listening?
**[1:39:08] ---**
Hey, wait, let me up!
**[1:39:21] ---**
Ciel!
**[1:39:24] ---**
Ciel!
**[1:39:29] ---**
Ouch.
**[1:39:32] ---**
Lizzie...
**[1:39:35] ---**
I'm so glad you're safe, Ciel!
**[1:39:40] ---**
Ciel!

**[00:18] Agares**
This is a prestigious public school,
protected by tradition and discipline.
**[00:25] Agares**
Now that you are a student here,
you must obey the rules.
**[00:31] Agares**
Ciel Phantomhive...
**[00:34] Agares**
Do you vow to abide by all of
Weston College's traditions and rules?
**[00:40] Ciel**
Yes.
**[02:40] Ciel**
Dash it all! I'm going to be late!
**[02:47] Ciel**
W-Wait, please!
**[02:53] Ciel**
Made it.
**[03:02] Ciel**
* Weston College, located*
* on the banks of the Thames,*
**[03:06] Ciel**
* is England's most*
* distinguished public school.*
**[03:09] Ciel**
* Its vast grounds are a labyrinth*
* of giant school buildings*
**[03:14] Ciel**
*and chapels in the Gothic style.*
**[03:16] Ciel**
* There are four boarding houses*
* with long histories,*
**[03:19] Ciel**
* and its students follow a strict disciplinary*
* code that values tradition above all else.*
**[03:24] Ciel**
*The boys-only boarding houses,*
**[03:26] Ciel**
* plus its unique curriculum*
* and first-rate educators,*
**[03:29] Ciel**
* supposedly make "true English*
* gentlemen" of its students.*
**[03:32] Ciel**
* All the noble families*
* willingly pay exorbitant fees*
**[03:37] Ciel**
* in order to get their sons*
* the status it confers.*
**[03:43] Ciel**
*First impressions are crucial.*
**[03:45] Ciel**
*I need to focus.*
**[03:49] Undesignated Student**
Did he just...
**[03:50] Student A**
Look at that.
**[03:51] Student B**
Unbelievable.
**[03:53] Student C**
He stepped on the lawn.
**[03:55] Student D**
What nerve! He's not even one of the P4!
**[03:57] Student E**
That's a guaranteed Y.
**[03:59] Student F**
Oh dear.
**[04:00] Ciel**
What in the world—
**[04:01] Student G**
Look!
**[04:02] Student G**
Here they come.
**[04:05] Student G**
It's the Prefect 4!
**[04:12] Student A**
He'll get in trouble!
**[04:13] Student B**
Uh-oh.
**[04:14] Student C**
Serves him right.
**[04:16] Ciel**
*He's going to hit me?*
**[04:20] Redmond**
Your tie is crooked.
**[04:26] Redmond**
What's your name?
**[04:28] Ciel**
Phantomhive.
**[04:29] Redmond**
Not a familiar name.
**[04:31] Greenhill**
The Head Master mentioned that
a new student is entering Blue House today.
**[04:36] Greenhill**
Would that be you?
**[04:37] Ciel**
Yes.
**[04:38] Bluewer**
Weston College rule No. 48:
**[04:41] Bluewer**
"Only prefects or those with
a prefect's permission may cross the lawn."
**[04:46] Bluewer**
You should have memorized
the rules before you came.
**[04:49] Ciel**
I'm very sor—
**[04:50] Violet**
Let's hurry indoors.
**[04:53] Violet**
The sun makes it too bright out here.
**[04:57] Redmond**
Be more careful, Phantomhive.
**[05:04] McMillan**
Well, you're a lucky one! You stepped
on the lawn and got off scot-free!
**[05:08] McMillan**
Here.
**[05:10] McMillan**
My name's McMillan.
I'm a first-year in Blue House, like you.
**[05:14] Ciel**
I-I see. Thank you.
**[05:17] Ciel**
By the way, I kept hearing "P4"
and "Y"—what do those mean?
**[05:22] McMillan**
"Y" is a unit of punishment. For every Y,
you have to copy out 100 Latin hexameters.
**[05:28] Ciel**
And "P4"?
**[05:29] McMillan**
The four fellows you just met.
Remember their coloured waistcoats?
**[05:33] McMillan**
Only prefects are allowed
to choose their own waistcoat fabrics.
**[05:38] Ciel**
Prefects?
**[05:39] McMillan**
Think of them as the heads
of the boarding houses.
**[05:43] McMillan**
The one in the red waistcoat was Edgar
Redmond, the prefect of Scarlet Fox House,
**[05:47] McMillan**
where students of
exceptionally high birth gather.
**[05:52] McMillan**
The one in the blue waistcoat was Lawrence
Bluewer, the prefect of Sapphire Owl House,
**[05:56] McMillan**
where students who
excel academically gather.
**[06:01] McMillan**
The one in the green waistcoat was Herman
Greenhill, the prefect of Green Lion House,
**[06:05] McMillan**
where students who excel at
martial arts and sports gather.
**[06:10] McMillan**
The one in the purple waistcoat was Gregory
Violet, the prefect of Violet Wolf House,
**[06:14] McMillan**
where students who
excel in the arts gather.
**[06:19] McMillan**
They're the four prefects of Weston
College's historic boarding houses,
**[06:23] McMillan**
or the "P4" for short!
**[06:25] Ciel**
Right...
**[06:26] McMillan**
Ah, how I look up to them!
I'd love to be a prefect one day.
**[06:31] McMillan**
If only, eh?
**[06:33] Ciel**
Still, not being able to cross the lawn
seems like an unproductive rule.
**[06:38] McMillan**
Traditions can feel like that.
**[06:41] McMillan**
Oh, no! We'll be late for lessons!
**[06:43] McMillan**
Let's hurry! I don't want any Ys!
**[06:48] McMillan**
Though I have to say,
I'm surprised Colet left so suddenly.
**[06:52] McMillan**
And it must have been rough on you,
transferring in the middle of a half.
**[06:56] Ciel**
I'd been waiting a long time for the chance.
I'm more than happy to catch up.
**[07:00] Clayton**
Boy up!
**[07:03] McMillan**
The last boy to answer that order
has to do tasks for the older boys!
**[07:07] Ciel**
What?!
**[07:11] Clayton**
Are you new here, straggler?
**[07:13] Ciel**
Yes.
**[07:14] Clayton**
Return to the House when you've finished
shining the prefect's shoes, then.
**[07:19] Clayton**
We'll throw you a welcoming party.
**[07:27] Clayton**
Welcome to our boarding
house, Phantomhive.
**[07:34] Clayton**
I do hope you'll enjoy yourself.
**[07:37] Clayton**
And toss!
**[07:42] Students**
And toss!
**[07:42] Clayton**
Well? What do you think of
our traditional House welcoming party?
**[07:45] Students**
And toss!
**[07:45] Clayton**
Be sure to study even more diligently now
that you're a member of Sapphire Owl House.
**[07:49] Students**
And toss!
**[07:51] Clayton**
Toss him even higher this time!
**[07:52] Ciel**
No, stop—
**[07:53] Sebastian**
What's all this commotion?
I'll assign you all Ys.
**[07:56] Student**
Drat! The House Master!
**[07:57] Sebastian**
Clayton, I'm surprised to see
an older boy joining in. What's this about?
**[08:02] Clayton**
Well, sir, it's House tradition...
**[08:07] Sebastian**
Tsk tsk. Traditions are all well and good,
but do exercise moderation.
**[08:12] Sebastian**
I take it you're Phantomhive, the new boy?
**[08:16] Sebastian**
Welcome to Sapphire Owl House.
**[08:21] Sebastian**
I'm Michaelis, the House Master.
**[08:31] Ciel**
Pleased to meet you, Master Michaelis.
**[08:34] Sebastian**
I'm sorry you've had so much trouble
on your first day, Phantomhive.
**[08:38] Sebastian**
Are you hurt?
**[08:40] Ciel**
I thank you for your concern,
**[08:42] Ciel**
though I would've been even happier
if you'd stopped them sooner.
**[08:47] Sebastian**
It would have been boorish of me to
come down too hard on a rite of passage.
**[08:53] Sebastian**
You see, I am merely
one hell of a House Master.
**[08:59] Sebastian**
Now, Phantomhive, you're wanted
in the Head Master's office.
**[09:21] Greenhill**
How was your first day here, Phantomhive?
**[09:26] Redmond**
If Blue House doesn't suit you,
you can come to Red House.
**[09:30] Redmond**
Someone of your station
is always welcome.
**[09:34] Bluewer**
Only the Head Master has the authority to
decide House assignments. No exceptions.
**[09:41] Violet**
It would probably be the same at any House.
**[09:43] Agares**
This is a prestigious public school,
protected by tradition and discipline.
**[09:49] Agares**
Now that you are a student here,
you must obey the rules.
**[09:56] Agares**
Ordinarily, the Head Master would
offer you a few words of welcome,
**[10:00] Agares**
but he's horribly busy,
so I shall take his place.
**[10:03] Agares**
I am Johann Agares,
Lower Master of the College.
**[10:08] Greenhill**
The Head Master decides everything here.
**[10:11] Redmond**
Within this institution,
his decisions are the highest law.
**[10:15] Bluewer**
And we prefects are tasked with
governing the student body.
**[10:20] Violet**
Any troublesome duties get
foisted on us. It's a beastly role.
**[10:24] Agares**
This has been the school's
tradition since its founding.
**[10:28] Agares**
And...
**[10:30] P4**
Tradition is absolute.
**[10:34] Agares**
Ciel Phantomhive...
**[10:36] Agares**
Do you vow to abide by all of
Weston College's traditions and rules?
**[10:43] Ciel**
Yes.
**[10:45] Agares**
Then sign here, please.
**[10:50] P4 + Ciel**
Master Agares!
**[10:51] Agares**
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
**[10:57] Agares**
Sign here, please.
**[11:00] Agares**
Welcome to Weston College, Phantomhive.
**[11:04] Agares**
We're pleased to have you.
**[11:15] Redmond**
I hope you'll have a pleasant life here.
**[11:19] Ciel**
Pardon me, but when do you think I'll be
able to give my regards to the Head Master?
**[11:24] Bluewer**
The Head Master is far too busy
to meet with ordinary students.
**[11:29] Bluewer**
Only we prefects are permitted
appointments with him.
**[11:41] Ciel**
* Ordinary students can't meet*
* with the Head Master?*
**[11:45] Ciel**
* So the Head Master is essentially*
* an absolute monarch here?*
**[11:53] Ciel**
* In public schools,*
* boys of roughly ages 13 to 18*
**[11:58] Ciel**
* live together in boarding houses*
* and devote themselves to their studies.*
**[12:03] Ciel**
* Every aspect of their lives is*
* dictated by the ringing of the bells.*
**[12:28] Ciel**
"Drudges"?
**[12:30] McMillan**
Right. Drudges are a bit like apprentices.
Or perhaps little brothers?
**[12:34] McMillan**
After breakfast, it's time for us to work.
**[12:38] McMillan**
It's a unique Weston tradition where
each junior boy serves a senior boy.
**[12:43] Ciel**
Serves him how?
**[12:44] McMillan**
Tidy his room, iron his school dress,
**[12:48] McMillan**
bring him a hot-water bottle
at night—that sort of thing.
**[12:51] Ciel**
Playing butler, essentially.
**[12:54] Ciel**
*Another troublesome tradition.*
**[12:58] Ciel**
Do the prefects have drudges?
**[13:00] McMillan**
Of course! Clayton serves Bluewer,
the Blue House prefect.
**[13:06] Ciel**
*Clayton?*
**[13:08] Ciel**
*Ah, him.*
**[13:10] McMillan**
Drudges are different from butlers, since
the drudge-masters look after them in return.
**[13:15] McMillan**
Maybe the best way to describe it is
they're like brothers, except only at school.
**[13:19] Ciel**
Brothers, eh?
**[13:21] McMillan**
Oh, and the prefects' drudges
get special privileges!
**[13:25] McMillan**
They have the same House flower
pinned to their tailcoats,
**[13:27] McMillan**
and they can cross the lawn
if they get permission.
**[13:30] McMillan**
And I hear they even get to join the P4 at the
"midnight tea parties" held by the Head Master!
**[13:36] Ciel**
*If I can attend a midnight tea party,*
**[13:38] Ciel**
* I'll have a chance to make contact*
* with the Head Master.*
**[13:41] Ciel**
* But the guest list being restricted to the P4*
* and their drudges makes things a bit tricky.*
**[13:47] McMillan**
I'd love to attend one someday! If only, eh?
**[13:52] Ciel**
* I'm getting nowhere.*
* I'll have to cut straight to the point.*
**[13:59] Ciel**
Changing the subject, if I may...
**[14:02] Ciel**
Do you happen to know Derrick Arden,
the son of the Duke of Clemens?
**[14:05] Ciel**
I believe he's in Scarlet Fox House—
**[14:13] Ciel**
What's this?
**[14:15] McMillan**
Phantomhive!
**[14:16] McMillan**
No one likes a boy who's too friendly
with people in other Houses!
**[14:20] Ciel**
Pardon? Are we little girls in cliques now?
**[14:23] McMillan**
There are lots of inter-house
competitions, you see.
**[14:28] McMillan**
But I'm sure I recall Arden being
specially transferred to Purple House.
**[14:35] Ciel**
Transferred?
**[14:36] McMillan**
I don't know the details, but they say
it was on the Head Master's orders.
**[14:40] Ciel**
The Head Master's?
**[14:41] McMillan**
I-In any event, it's best not to
get involved with other Houses!
**[14:46] McMillan**
Especially Violet Wolf House.
**[14:49] Ciel**
What do you mean—
**[14:50] Senior Boy**
McMillan! Time for work!
**[14:52] McMillan**
Coming!
**[14:53] McMillan**
This is my senior. Cheerio, Phantomhive!
**[15:00] Ciel**
What's that pose about?
**[15:04] Ciel**
*So Derrick Arden's House assignment changed?*
**[15:08] Ciel**
*There must be something in that.*
**[15:10] Clayton**
Phantomhive!
**[15:12] Ciel**
Yes, Clayton?
**[15:14] Clayton**
You'll be cleaning the dining room
until you're assigned a senior.
**[15:18] Ciel**
The dining room?
**[15:21] Ciel**
You mean... this whole room?
**[15:24] Clayton**
Indeed.
**[15:25] Clayton**
And I'll accept no slacking!
**[15:32] Ciel**
Sebastian.
**[15:39] Sebastian**
Right here.
**[15:44] Ciel**
Apparently, Derrick Arden changed houses.
**[15:46] Sebastian**
His name does appear next to
Violet Wolf House in the register.
**[15:51] Ciel**
He should be there at this hour.
**[15:53] Ciel**
I'll go call on him. You clean up here.
**[15:56] Sebastian**
Very good, my lord.
**[15:59] Sebastian**
Well, then...
**[16:01] Sebastian**
To work!
**[16:12] Ciel**
This is quite the aesthetic.
**[16:15] Ciel**
*Fitting for the House full of eccentrics.*
**[16:25] Purple House Boys**
It's an outsider.
**[16:27] Purple House Boys**
An outsider.
**[16:28] Purple House Boys**
That's Blue House's crest.
**[16:30] Ciel**
Wh-When did *they* get here?!
**[16:32] Cheslock**
Oi, swot. What business have
you got with Purple House?
**[16:37] Cheslock**
You'll need more than just good marks
before you're allowed here!
**[16:41] Purple House Boys**
Get out.
**[16:42] Purple House Boys**
Yes, get out.
**[16:44] Purple House Boys**
Leave, outsider.
**[16:46] Purple House Boys**
Get out!
**[16:47] Ciel**
Ouch!
**[16:48] Purple House Boys**
Get away from Purple House!
**[16:51] Cheslock**
Bring a nice, thick dictionary to protect
your head next time, you swotty sap!
**[16:56] Ciel**
Wh-What was that about?!
**[16:59] Violet**
What's all the ruckus?
**[17:02] Cheslock**
Hullo, Violet.
**[17:04] Cheslock**
One of the swots showed up.
**[17:10] Violet**
The new boy?
**[17:17] Ciel**
*That was awful.*
**[17:20] Ciel**
* I see the hostility between*
* Houses is worse than I thought.*
**[17:25] Ciel**
* Never mind the Head Master,*
* I can't even visit Arden?*
**[17:30] Ciel**
*Titles and wealth mean nothing here.*
**[17:34] Ciel**
* As long as I'm an ordinary student,*
* I'll have trouble even gathering information.*
**[17:39] Ciel**
* Which leaves only one way*
* to get to the heart of this.*
**[17:44] Ciel**
* I'll just have to curry favour*
* with the Prefect 4.*
**[17:48] Ciel**
*The question is* how*...*
**[17:54] Students**
I can't believe it.
**[17:55] Students**
How did he do it?
**[18:00] Clayton**
Phantomhive!
**[18:01] Ciel**
Yes?!
**[18:02] Clayton**
*Oh, no! Does he know I didn't clean up?!*
**[18:04] Clayton**
I'm not one to hand out
compliments. However...
**[18:08] Clayton**
Today, I'm willing to commend you!
**[18:11] Ciel**
I'm sorry?
**[18:16] Clayton**
Our ancient—I mean *historic*—dining room
has never looked so spotless!
**[18:21] Clayton**
Brilliant work, Phantomhive!
**[18:23] Ciel**
You flatter me.
**[18:25] Ciel**
*That rotter went too far!*
**[18:28] Clayton**
Master Michaelis!
**[18:30] Sebastian**
What is it?
**[18:31] Clayton**
Look at this dining room!
Phantomhive cleaned it today.
**[18:36] Sebastian**
Most impressive.
**[18:38] Sebastian**
Good work, Phantomhive.
**[18:41] Ciel**
*This was uncalled-for.*
**[18:44] Sebastian**
Thank you, sir.
**[18:45] Ciel**
*Hold on.*
**[18:48] Ciel**
*Clayton is Bluewer's drudge...*
**[18:48] Clayton**
I had him do it to see what he was made of,
**[18:50] Clayton**
since he hasn't got a drudge-master yet.
**[18:51] Ciel**
*I can use this.*
**[18:52] Clayton**
I never imagined he'd do
so well in such little time.
**[18:54] Ciel**
* My scheme to ingratiate myself*
* with the prefects will start with him.*
**[19:00] Ciel**
I'm ever so glad I pleased you.
**[19:02] Ciel**
Truthfully, housework is my specialty!
**[19:07] Ciel**
Please, ask me for
anything you need, Clayton.
**[19:22] Queen Victoria**
*"My dear boy—*
**[19:24] Queen Victoria**
* It's so dreadful what*
* happened on the Campania."*
**[19:28] Queen Victoria**
* "I hope you are quite recovered*
* and are enjoying your Easter."*
**[19:34] Queen Victoria**
* "As for myself, I am afraid*
* I find myself so worried*
**[19:38] Queen Victoria**
* that I am unable to*
* truly enjoy the holiday."*
**[19:43] Queen Victoria**
* "What is troubling me is*
* my cousin Clemens' son, Derrick."*
**[19:51] Queen Victoria**
*"Derrick is in his fifth year at Weston,*
**[19:55] Queen Victoria**
* and for some reason, he hasn't been home*
* to see his parents since last summer."*
**[19:59] Queen Victoria**
* "He used to write them every day,*
* but his letters have stopped as well."*
**[20:07] Queen Victoria**
* "His mother the duchess tried*
* visiting his boarding house,*
**[20:10] Queen Victoria**
*but I'm told he refused to come out."*
**[20:13] Queen Victoria**
* "Ordinarily, I would assume*
* he's simply in a rebellious phase,*
**[20:17] Queen Victoria**
* but it seems many other students*
* have also stopped returning home."*
**[20:23] Queen Victoria**
*"What could have happened to them?"*
**[20:29] Queen Victoria**
* "Poor Clemens is quite ill over losing*
* contact with his only son in this way."*
**[20:36] Queen Victoria**
*"I'm terribly worried."*
**[20:39] Queen Victoria**
* "I pray that my loved ones will soon all*
* be able to enjoy a quiet Easter holiday.*
**[20:49] Queen Victoria**
*—Victoria."*
**[20:52] (Flashback) Sebastian**
In other words, she's saying, "Investigate
why the Weston students have gone missing."
**[21:00] (Flashback) Ciel**
And implying that she'd have trouble
acting directly because public schools
**[21:04] (Flashback) Ciel**
are independent institutions
protected from government interference.
**[21:07] (Flashback) Ciel**
But I imagine the truth is
**[21:09] (Flashback) Ciel**
she doesn't want to make a fuss
and risk publicly exposing family secrets.
**[21:13] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Worrying about appearances
even at a time like this...
**[21:16] (Flashback) Sebastian**
This is just the trouble with humans.
**[21:19] (Flashback) Ciel**
I'd prefer to have someone
infiltrate the school,
**[21:21] (Flashback) Ciel**
but Weston is full of noblemen's sons.
**[21:25] (Flashback) Ciel**
There aren't many peers to choose from,
and any of them would be recognized.
**[21:30] (Flashback) Ciel**
Trying to disguise anyone's
identity would be risky.
**[21:34] (Flashback) Sebastian**
You'll go yourself, then?
**[21:38] (Flashback) Ciel**
What choice do I have?
**[21:39] (Flashback) Ciel**
Well, I won't mind the
Queen owing me a favour.
**[21:42] (Flashback) Ciel**
The issue is whether Weston
has an opening for a new student.
**[21:46] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Easily solved. If there isn't one,
you can create one.
**[21:54] (Flashback) Ciel**
I had better handle the
investigation on College grounds.
**[21:57] (Flashback) Ciel**
You will support me
without getting found out.
**[22:01] (Flashback) Ciel**
I leave the specifics to you.
**[22:19] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.

* Public school: an institution*
* that prizes tradition and discipline.*
**[00:11] Ciel**
* The drudge system: a "brotherly"*

**[00:16] Ciel**
* The Head Master: an absolute authority*

**[00:28] Ciel**

**[00:34] Ciel**
* To gain freedom in this walled garden,*
* I make a cruel decision.*
**[02:17] Sebastian**
* A House Master is an educator who resides*
* in a boarding house to guide its students.*
**[02:24] McMillan**
Good afternoon, Master Michaelis.
**[02:26] Sebastian**
Good afternoon.
**[02:29] Sebastian**
* Each of Weston College's four*
* boarding houses has a small staff.*
**[02:34] Sebastian**
*A Dame to look after domestic affairs.*
**[02:37] Sebastian**
*A cook to make the food.*
**[02:38] Sebastian**
*A footman to wait table.*
**[02:41] Sebastian**
* But the House Master is the only one*
* among them who is also an educator.*
**[02:46] Sebastian**
* Each morning, he heads to*
* the schoolhouse with his boys,*
**[02:49] Sebastian**
*and teaches lessons in his specialty.*
**[02:52] Sebastian**
* Each evening, he returns*
* to the House with his boys,*
**[02:54] Sebastian**
* and during Quiet Hour, he helps*
* with their studies when requested.*
**[02:57] Sebastian**
* In other words, a House Master*
* devotes the majority of his day to students.*
**[03:02] Sebastian**
*It's a demanding job.*
**[03:05] Sebastian**
*And yet...*
**[03:07] Sebastian**
*...witness my young master.*
**[03:09] Ciel**
*Organize Clayton's bookshelves!*
**[03:11] Ciel**
* Clayton's tailcoat is missing*
* a button—mend it!*
**[03:14] Ciel**
* Bring a golden syrup pudding*
* for Clayton's tea today!*
**[03:17] Ciel**
*And mine too.*
**[03:21] Sebastian**
He readily accepts all manner of tasks
because he knows I'll be the one to do them.
**[03:29] Sebastian**
I have enough work...
**[03:30] Sebastian**
to do already...
**[03:32] Sebastian**
I'll have you know.
**[03:38] Sebastian**
That should do it.
**[03:41] Sebastian**
Let's see... Next is my school
with the first-years.
**[03:45] Sebastian**
Oh, how busy I am.
**[03:52] McMillan**
It must be rotten having to do
so many errands, Phantomhive.
**[03:56] McMillan**
It takes *me* a whole morning's
drudge-time just to sew on one button.
**[04:01] McMillan**
Clayton uses the fact that
you don't have a drudge-master yet
**[04:05] McMillan**
to make you do too many things.
**[04:07] Ciel**
It's nothing, really. I have a trick
for getting things done quickly.
**[04:12] McMillan**
You do?! I wish you'd
teach it to me sometime!
**[04:16] McMillan**
You're really something.
**[04:18] McMillan**
You got high marks on
that test, too, didn't you?
**[04:21] Ciel**
It just happened to
cover things I'd been studying.
**[04:24] McMillan**
Apparently, all the seniors are
talking about whose drudge you will be.
**[04:29] McMillan**
Someone might make you
a proposal before long!
**[04:34] McMillan**
Personally, I think it'll be Clayton.
**[04:38] Ciel**
That would be an honour.
**[04:41] Sebastian**
All right, time to begin.
**[04:45] Ciel**
*He'd* better *be the one. I'm becoming
Clayton's drudge, no matter what.*
**[05:03] Maurice**
Would you care for another cup, Redmond?
**[05:06] Redmond**
I'll take you up on that.
**[05:11] Redmond**
Your tea always tastes the best, Maurice.
**[05:15] Maurice**
Thank you.
**[05:17] Greenhill**
I've heard that new student
is very impressive, too.
**[05:22] Redmond**
Oh, Lawrence's little cutie-pie?
**[05:26] Redmond**
I'm rather curious about him.
**[05:28] Bluewer**
Stop calling me by my first name.
**[05:31] Bluewer**
It's against the rules.
**[05:34] Redmond**
You're such a stick-in-the-mud, Bluewer.
**[05:36] Redmond**
Only prefects are allowed
in the swan gazebo.
**[05:40] Redmond**
No one's going to hear and admonish us.
**[05:42] Redmond**
Clayton, what do you think of the new boy?
**[05:48] Clayton**
He's very gifted.
**[05:49] Clayton**
He always does his tasks
quickly and precisely.
**[05:52] Clayton**
Most importantly, his teas could be
the work of an elite French chef.
**[06:00] Greenhill**
Isn't he an earl?
Why would he be able to do that?
**[06:04] Clayton**
He claims it's his hobby.
**[06:08] Cheslock**
Sounds more like a butler than an earl.
**[06:10] Violet**
Hmm. An eccentric.
**[06:15] Violet**
Perhaps that's why he came to my House.
**[06:19] Bluewer**
He what?
**[06:21] Violet**
He visited my house during
drudge-time the other day.
**[06:25] Violet**
Alone.
**[06:27] Clayton**
You're sure it was him? With his workload,
I doubt he'd have time to wander about.
**[06:32] Violet**
He was wearing an eye patch,
so I assume it was him.
**[06:36] Bluewer**
Why would he go to Violet Wolf House?
**[06:41] Redmond**
If he's *that* talented,
I wish he'd been assigned to *my* House.
**[06:45] Redmond**
He certainly has the social status!
**[06:48] Redmond**
After all, not many boys his age
head prestigious earldoms.
**[06:51] Edward**
What?
**[06:52] Greenhill**
What is it?
**[06:53] Edward**
May I speak freely, Greenhill?
**[06:57] Greenhill**
I can't hear you! Try again!
**[06:59] Edward**
Right! May I please have
permission to speak?!
**[07:02] Greenhill**
Very well, Edward Midford!
Permission granted!
**[07:06] Edward**
Thank you very much!
**[07:08] Edward**
That new boy you've been talking
about—might his name be Ciel Phantomhive?
**[07:16] Redmond**
Oh, you know him?
**[07:18] Edward**
Yes. He's my cousin,
and Lizzie's—I mean, my sister's—betrothed.
**[07:25] Edward**
I never imagined
he would be here at Weston...
**[07:29] Cheslock**
All of England's little rich boys
end up here. What's so surprising?
**[07:36] Edward**
Well, he was just aboard
the *Campania* with me when it sank.
**[07:40] Redmond**
Ah, yes. The luxury liner that sank, eh?
**[07:43] Redmond**
I'd love to call him here to tell the story!
**[07:47] Maurice**
What?
**[07:48] Greenhill**
Very inconsiderate considering
how many people died, Redmond.
**[07:53] Redmond**
I just want to hear a cutie
talk about his journey, that's all.
**[07:57] Redmond**
I've grown tired of being surrounded
by ugly faces all the time.
**[08:01] Redmond**
And aren't the rest of you curious
about his famous tea and cakes?
**[08:06] Maurice**
I didn't know about him,
but he sounds amazing.
**[08:10] Maurice**
Oh, but inviting a new boy to visit a group
of older students might make him nervous.
**[08:18] Edward**
I think it's a good idea.
**[08:20] Edward**
I make it a point to be harsh
with him, since he's family. Still...
**[08:26] Edward**
He's done a fine job of succeeding his father
at such a young age. I respect him as a man.
**[08:32] Greenhill**
A recommendation from
a trusted source. I'll agree to it.
**[08:36] Edward**
Thank you, Greenhill.
**[08:39] Redmond**
Well, Violet?
**[08:40] Violet**
Might as well. Sounds interesting.
**[08:44] Redmond**
Then it's decided!
You don't mind, do you, Lawrence?
**[08:48] Bluewer**
I'll agree on condition
that you call me "Bluewer."
**[08:52] Redmond**
Well, when shall we have him here?
**[08:54] Greenhill**
How about tomorrow?
**[08:56] Redmond**
Two o'clock tomorrow, then.
**[08:58] Maurice**
In that case, I'll go tell him right away!
Strike while the iron is hot, and all that.
**[09:04] Maurice**
Tomorrow at two o'clock.
**[09:07] Student A**
Ph-Ph-Ph-Phantomhive!
**[09:10] Student A**
*Cole* is calling for you!
**[09:13] Student A**
This was my first time speaking to him!
**[09:15] Ciel**
Hm? Who is Cole?
**[09:18] McMillan**
Maurice Cole, the drudge for
the prefect of Scarlet Fox House!
**[09:23] McMillan**
You didn't know?!
**[09:24] Student A**
He's the prettiest boy in Weston!
**[09:27] Ciel**
Er, I've never met him...
**[09:36] Maurice**
You're Phantomhive?
**[09:39] Maurice**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Maurice Cole,
Prefect Redmond's drudge.
**[09:44] Ciel**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[09:50] Ciel**
Um, did you need something?
**[09:53] Maurice**
Oh, right!
**[09:55] Maurice**
The prefects and their drudges
often meet privately in the swan gazebo.
**[10:01] Maurice**
Today, everyone was talking
about the brilliant new student.
**[10:05] Ciel**
I see.
**[10:06] Maurice**
The seniors decided
they'd like to converse with you.
**[10:11] Maurice**
So would you come to the swan gazebo
tomorrow, Phantomhive?
**[10:17] Ciel**
* This a chance to get close*
* to the P4 right away!*
**[10:21] Ciel**
Of course! I'd be delighted!
**[10:23] Maurice**
Really? Oh, good!
**[10:27] Maurice**
Then we'll expect you at four o'clock
**[10:29] Maurice**
at the swan gazebo.
**[10:32] Maurice**
See you then!
**[10:41] McMillan**
This is amazing, Phantomhive!
**[10:43] Student C**
Only the P4 are allowed in the swan gazebo!
**[10:43] Student B**
I wish I could come along!
**[10:44] Student D**
I'm impressed!
**[10:46] Student E**
Tell us all about it afterwards!
**[10:46] Student F**
Let's be friends!
**[10:50] Sebastian**
This should be translated as
"from the outset," not "from the beginning."
**[10:56] Sebastian**
It's a common mistake, so take care.
**[10:59] Sebastian**
Will you be all right with the rest?
**[11:01] Student C**
Yes, sir! You explain things
so well, Master Michaelis.
**[11:07] Student C**
Thank you very much.
**[11:09] Student C**
Good night, sir.
**[11:11] Sebastian**
Good night.
**[11:17] Ciel**
Master Michaelis, I'm having trouble
with a lesson. Would you help me with it?
**[11:23] Sebastian**
Come in.
**[11:28] Ciel**
You seem quite popular, *Master Michaelis*.
**[11:34] Sebastian**
Yes. Everyone praises me as a kind teacher
whose explanations are clear.
**[11:40] Ciel**
Hah!
**[11:42] Ciel**
I'd love to tell them what your
teaching methods are *really* like.
**[11:48] Ciel**
I've been invited to a P4 gathering
tomorrow at four o'clock.
**[11:52] Sebastian**
I'm aware.
**[11:56] Ciel**
This chance won't come again.
**[11:58] Ciel**
We need to make sure the P4 and
their hangers-on take a liking to me.
**[12:04] Ciel**
I suppose the first order of business
is treats to go with the tea.
**[12:07] Sebastian**
Indeed, my lord.
**[12:09] Ciel**
Why should I have to take tea to *children*?
**[12:13] Sebastian**
A small price to pay, don't you think?
**[12:15] Sebastian**
You don't even have to offer them
bribes dressed up as sweets.
**[12:18] Sebastian**
You can win them over with real sweets.
**[12:23] Sebastian**
However, I'm afraid I'll be supervising
the cricketers tomorrow at four.
**[12:33] Ciel**
The invitation isn't to a fistfight.
I can handle it alone.
**[12:37] Ciel**
But in exchange...
**[12:40] Ciel**
This is an order, Sebastian:
**[12:42] Ciel**
make me treats to go with tea
that will astound the prefects.
**[12:47] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[12:51] Student D**
Master Michaelis, may I ask
your help with a lesson?
**[12:56] Sebastian**
Come in.
**[12:58] Ciel**
Thank you for tutoring me.
**[13:01] Sebastian**
Of course.
**[13:03] Ciel**
Well, then, Master Michaelis...
**[13:07] Sebastian**
Phantomhive...
**[13:09] Sebastian & Ciel**
Good night.
**[13:17] Clayton**
You're two hours late!
What's the meaning of this, Phantomhive?!
**[13:21] Ciel**
What?! I-I was told four o'clock...
**[13:25] Maurice**
What? But I specifically said two o'clock.
**[13:31] Ciel**
*So that's his game.*
**[13:35] Edward**
It's highly unbecoming to make excuses
at a time like this, Ciel!
**[13:38] Ciel**
*Edward?*
**[13:40] Ciel**
* I knew he attended Weston,*
* but not that he was a prefect's drudge.*
**[13:45] Edward**
I was a fool for having any faith in you.
**[13:50] Edward**
You betrayed not only my expectations,
but those of our seniors.
**[13:56] Edward**
Get out!
**[14:00] Ciel**
Damn it! He got me!
**[14:02] Ciel**
This is why I hate
taking people at their word!
**[14:08] Sebastian**
Oh dear, young master.
**[14:10] Sebastian**
It seems you underestimated
your opponent because he's a student.
**[14:14] Sebastian**
People always envy those who excel.
**[14:18] Sebastian**
It's not as though you've
never encountered this before.
**[14:23] Sebastian**
Will you explain things to your cousin?
**[14:26] Ciel**
That's a waste of effort with his type.
**[14:30] Ciel**
Intentionally or not,
I did break the appointment.
**[14:33] Sebastian**
Then you'll let the matter drop?
**[14:37] Ciel**
Of course not.
**[14:39] Ciel**
I *will* earn favour with the prefects.
**[14:43] Ciel**
And I'll pay Cole back, too.
**[14:48] Ciel**
I'll make you regret wasting
my labours, Maurice Cole.
**[14:58] Ciel**
I bet lying is a regular habit
for Maurice Cole.
**[15:04] Sebastian**
Why do you think so?
**[15:07] Ciel**
Did you see his hands?
**[15:09] Sebastian**
His hands?
**[15:10] Ciel**
Drudges' hands tend to be rough from
all the things they do for the seniors.
**[15:16] Ciel**
But *his* hands are smooth as glass.
**[15:19] Ciel**
Which means...
**[15:20] Sebastian**
...he uses underhanded methods, like you?
**[15:24] Ciel**
The "like you" was uncalled-for.
**[15:27] Ciel**
Still, judging from his lack of hesitation
and the believability of the lie,
**[15:34] Ciel**
that's exactly right.
**[15:36] Sebastian**
Birds of a feather recognize
each other instinctively, I see.
**[15:42] Ciel**
We could easily prove
the error in his message,
**[15:46] Ciel**
but I won't let him off that lightly.
**[15:49] Ciel**
Sebastian, go find others
that he has set up in this way.
**[15:53] Ciel**
And thoroughly investigate
his patterns of activity.
**[15:59] Sebastian**
Very good, my lord.
**[16:04] Student A**
Did you hear? He broke an
appointment with the P4!
**[16:07] Student B**
Surely not!
**[16:08] Student D**
I'm amazed there weren't consequences.
**[16:11] Ciel**
* Clearly the prefects have*
* more influence than I thought.*
**[16:16] Ciel**
* It would be difficult to get*
* any witnesses to testify on my behalf.*
**[16:26] First Year A**
Cole!
**[16:27] First Year B**
We got it ready.
**[16:30] Maurice**
Thank you! This is a big help.
**[16:34] Maurice**
The prefects' drudges
just have so much to do.
**[16:39] Maurice**
But keep this between us.
**[16:41] First Year B**
We know!
**[16:42] First Year A**
We're happy to help!
**[16:45] Maurice**
I need to decide on
a drudge of my own soon.
**[16:48] Maurice**
A capable boy, like one of you.
**[16:52] Maurice**
Cheerio!
**[16:56] First Year A**
It'll be me!
**[16:57] First Year B**
No, me!
**[16:58] First Year A**
Your hair is dreadful!
**[16:59] First Year B**
Yours is too smooth!
**[17:03] Maurice**
Pardon me.
**[17:05] Maurice**
I've collected the data you asked for.
**[17:10] Redmond**
That was fast.
**[17:13] Redmond**
Your work is as organized
as always. I appreciate it.
**[17:16] Maurice**
It's no trouble.
**[17:17] Maurice**
Oh! Do you have
any requests for today's tea?
**[17:22] Redmond**
Let me see...
**[17:24] Redmond**
It's been a while since I last had
your lemon myrtle soufflé glacé.
**[17:28] Redmond**
I'd like that.
**[17:30] Maurice**
Understood!
**[17:48] Maurice**
Thank you as always.
**[17:51] Ciel**
*A student boarding house hiring guards?*
**[17:54] Ciel**
*What is this, Buckingham Palace?*
**[17:57] Maurice**
A lemon myrtle soufflé glacé,
as you requested.
**[18:03] Maurice**
I've paired it with an Uva tea.
**[18:06] Maurice**
It goes well with milk.
**[18:08] Cheslock**
I can't believe you make such
complicated things every day.
**[18:13] Maurice**
Redmond deserves delicacies.
**[18:18] Maurice**
Would you like some, too, Gregory?
**[18:27] Maurice**
Good hit!
**[18:46] Sebastian**
I see you read very advanced books.
**[18:49] Sebastian**
What year are you?
**[18:54] Harcourt**
S-Second year. My name is Harcourt.
**[18:57] Sebastian**
Only in second year? I'm impressed.
**[19:00] Sebastian**
It's rare that someone your age
can read Hegel in the original German.
**[19:04] Sebastian**
You must be popular in your form.
**[19:07] Harcourt**
N-Not really...
**[19:10] Harcourt**
I do nothing but read...
**[19:14] Sebastian**
You look troubled, dear boy.
**[19:20] Sebastian**
If you'd like to talk about it,
I'm here to listen.
**[19:26] Harcourt**
Cole said he gave me an invitation
to the swan gazebo, but I never got one.
**[19:34] Harcourt**
But then, somehow,
an invitation was in my desk...
**[19:40] Harcourt**
I didn't lie, I swear!
**[19:43] Harcourt**
But now, everyone calls me a liar.
**[19:48] Sebastian**
It must have been very painful for you,
not being believed by anyone.
**[19:55] Sebastian**
*I* don't think you're a liar, though.
**[20:00] Harcourt**
Oh, Master!
**[20:03] Sebastian**
Pray, my child.
**[20:04] Sebastian**
This misunderstanding
will be cleared up one day.
**[20:10] Sebastian**
I've found four other students
who have fallen victim to Maurice Cole.
**[20:16] Ciel**
I was right.
**[20:17] Sebastian**
Not only that, it's highly likely he has
others carry out most of his drudge duties.
**[20:24] Sebastian**
For example, a soufflé glacé
requires several hours to chill.
**[20:31] Sebastian**
It would be impossible
to make within a day's drudge-time.
**[20:34] Ciel**
I'd like to know about his
movements inside Red House,
**[20:38] Ciel**
but I'm already having you do
my work during drudge-time...
**[20:42] Ciel**
I want another pawn to place in his House.
**[20:46] Ciel**
It was Derrick's original House, after all...
**[20:49] Sebastian**
Still, I'm not sure it's wise to force
another vacancy for a new student.
**[20:55] Sebastian**
Another so soon would draw attention.
**[20:57] Sebastian**
And even if we did get someone admitted,
he couldn't choose his House.
**[21:03] Sebastian**
Social status and personality
both influence House assignments.
**[21:09] Ciel**
I know.
**[21:11] Ciel**
Scarlet Fox is for people
of exceptionally high birth.
**[21:14] Ciel**
We'd need someone with enough status
and wealth to be guaranteed a place.
**[21:18] Ciel**
Who could possibly have that *and* receive
special admission without a vacancy?
**[21:25] Ciel**
I just thought of someone,
but he's literally the last person I want.
**[21:30] Sebastian**
He meets all the criteria, though,
and he *is* quite a special person.
**[21:43] Ciel**
Curse it! Needs must when the devil drives.
**[21:54] Soma**
Ah, so this is "school"! It's quite large!
**[22:00] Soma**
Almost the same size as my estate back home!

**[00:01] Student G**
Here they come.
**[00:02] Student G**
It's the Prefect 4!
**[00:04] Ciel**
Prefects?
**[00:06] McMillan**
Think of them as the heads
of the boarding houses.
**[00:09] Sebastian**
In other words, she's saying, "Investigate
why the Weston students have gone missing."
**[00:15] Ciel**
You will support me
without getting found out.
**[00:19] Ciel**
"Drudges"?
**[00:20] McMillan**
Maybe the best way to describe it is
they're like brothers, except only at school.
**[00:25] McMillan**
Oh, and the prefects' drudges
get special privileges!
**[00:29] McMillan**
I hear they even get to join the P4 at the
"midnight tea parties" held by the Head Master!
**[00:34] Maurice**
I'm Maurice Cole,
Prefect Redmond's drudge.
**[00:37] Maurice**
Today, everyone was talking
about the brilliant new student.
**[00:42] Maurice**
We'll expect you at four o'clock
**[00:44] Maurice**
at the swan gazebo.
**[00:47] Clayton**
You're two hours late!
What's the meaning of this?!
**[00:50] Ciel**
I-I was told four o'clock...
**[00:52] Maurice**
What? But I specifically said two o'clock.
**[00:57] Edward**
You betrayed not only my expectations,
but those of our seniors.
**[01:03] Edward**
Get out!
**[01:05] Ciel**
Damn it!
**[01:06] Ciel**
I want another pawn to place in his House.
**[01:10] Ciel**
It was Derrick's original House, after all...
**[01:13] Ciel**
Scarlet Fox is for people
of exceptionally high birth.
**[01:16] Ciel**
We'd need someone with enough status
and wealth to be guaranteed a place.
**[01:20] Ciel**
Curse it! Needs must when the devil drives.
**[01:36] McMillan**
Phantomhive, are you asleep?
**[01:40] Ciel**
No.
**[01:42] McMillan**
Can I come talk to you?
**[01:46] Ciel**
All right.
**[01:57] McMillan**
I'm sorry I can't stick up
for you here in school.
**[02:00] Ciel**
It's fine. I wouldn't expect you to.
We each have to make it through six years here.
**[02:05] McMillan**
Why did you do it, though?
Why stand up the P4?
**[02:12] Ciel**
It wasn't intentional.
**[02:15] Ciel**
I was told to come at four o'clock,
but they were expecting me at two.
**[02:19] McMillan**
What?!
**[02:21] Ciel**
Shhh!
**[02:24] McMillan**
But the other boys and I heard him
say four o'clock, too...
**[02:27] Ciel**
I'm sure.
**[02:29] Ciel**
But there's nothing to be done now.
**[02:32] McMillan**
I know—I'll vouch for you!
**[02:36] McMillan**
If I alone don't lend you enough credibility,
**[02:38] McMillan**
I'll ask some of the other lads, too.
**[02:40] McMillan**
We were all eavesdropping.
I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[02:44] McMillan**
After all, you did nothing wrong.
**[02:47] Ciel**
That would be a big help.
Thank you, McMillan.
**[02:53] McMillan**
It's nothing, really.
***SIGN*** What in the world?
***SIGN*** Oh, wow!
***SIGN*** Would you look at that!
**[04:45] Soma**
Ah, so this is "school"!
**[04:49] Soma**
It's quite large! Almost the same size
as my estate back home!
***SIGN*** I heard he's an Indian prince!
***SIGN*** I've never seen an elephant before!
***SIGN*** Amazing!
**[04:55] Ciel**
He certainly got into Red House easily.
**[04:58] Ciel**
An Indian royal's brand-name
and wealth are nothing to sneeze at.
**[05:02] Sebastian**
Though I must say I didn't
expect him to arrive on an elephant...
**[05:07] Soma**
Oi, Ciel! Here I am!
**[05:11] Ciel**
*That fool!*
**[05:12] Ciel**
*I* explicitly *told him in my letter
to pretend we aren't acquainted.*
**[05:15] Soma**
I was surprised to receive a letter from you!
**[05:19] Soma**
If you'd told me you didn't want to come
here alone, I'd have come with you!
**[05:23] Soma**
Ciel! Oi, are you listening?
**[05:37] Soma**
We're both here, so let's go together!
**[05:40] Ciel**
Sod off! And put me down this instant!
**[05:43] Ciel**
Ah, I *knew* I shouldn't have called you here!
**[05:45] Sebastian**
Good morning.
**[05:46] Student**
Good morning.
**[05:49] Soma**
You're not as glum as I was expecting.
**[05:52] Soma**
Agni wanted to come along,
which got rough.
**[05:54] Soma**
Apparently, these "public schools"
don't allow us to bring servants.
**[05:57] Ciel**
Not generally, no.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Agni**
My prince!
**[06:03] Ciel**
Soma, there's a reason I called you here.
**[06:07] Soma**
Oh? What is it?
**[06:09] Ciel**
Well, you see, I had a row with a boy in your
boarding house. His name is Maurice Cole.
**[06:16] Soma**
Oh?
**[06:17] Ciel**
As you know, I don't have many friends.
**[06:22] Ciel**
So I don't really know how
to get back in his good books.
**[06:26] Ciel**
I'd like you to help me—
**[06:31] Soma**
Very well!
**[06:32] Soma**
I shall lend you a hand,
my naturally gloomy and timid friend!
**[06:35] Ciel**
You're exaggerating what I said.
**[06:37] Soma**
So inside, you *do* really care.
**[06:39] Soma**
Why don't we start off with
a curry supper, just the three of us?
**[06:42] Ciel**
That won't be possible.
**[06:44] Soma**
Why not?
**[06:46] Ciel**
Evidently, I've made him so angry,
he doesn't want to see my face.
**[06:50] Ciel**
That's why I'd like to get to know him better
before conversing with him again.
**[06:54] Ciel**
I'd like you to observe him carefully
and tell me about him.
**[06:58] Ciel**
Particularly about what he's like
when he's in Red House, where I can't go.
**[07:02] Ciel**
The tiniest detail could be important.
**[07:04] Ciel**
But tell no one.
**[07:10] Soma**
Understood. I'll tell no one.
**[07:12] Soma**
You can trust me,
your best friend, with this task.
**[07:16] Ciel**
Right... of course...
**[07:21] Soma**
Oi, you there. Be friends with Ciel.
**[07:26] Maurice**
Pardon?
**[07:28] Maurice**
He made the prefects look like fools.
**[07:32] Maurice**
As one of their drudges,
it wouldn't do for me to forgive that.
**[07:38] Soma**
Hey, are you *sure* you can't?
**[07:43] Soma**
Hey, he's got some good points!
**[07:46] Soma**
Hey, I'm sure you two can talk this out.
**[07:50] Soma**
Hey!
**[07:51] Soma**
Hey!
**[07:54] Soma**
Hey, come on.
**[07:56] Soma**
Hey, come on. I'm talking to you!
**[08:03] Maurice**
What is the *matter* with you?!
**[08:05] Maurice**
Stop following me around!
**[08:10] Soma**
He's a little like Ciel.
**[08:19] Soma**
Right, I'm bored! I'll go visit Ciel!
**[08:32] Soma**
O-kay! Go, elephant!
**[08:35] Soma**
What's that?
**[08:38] Soma**
This is the wrong way!
**[08:46] Maurice**
It's quiet at last.
**[08:51] Maurice**
Th-This can't be...
**[09:04] Redmond**
Five Ys for Kadar.
**[09:07] Redmond**
And no elephants in Weston from now on.
**[09:09] Soma**
Sorry.
**[09:10] Maurice**
Make a *proper* apology!
**[09:13] Redmond**
What a pickle.
We don't have any free rooms.
**[09:17] Redmond**
Do you want to stay in mine for a while?
**[09:19] Maurice**
Really?
**[09:20] Soma**
No, use my bed.
**[09:23] Maurice**
Excuse me? Why would I
want to sleep in *your*—
**[09:27] Soma**
I'm a man with a sense of responsibility.
**[09:29] Redmond**
I commend your attitude, Kadar.
**[09:32] Redmond**
I'll leave you to it.
**[09:33] Maurice**
Wait... Redmond?
**[09:36] Soma**
Right, I'll lead the way!
**[09:44] Soma**
Use this bed.
**[10:04] Soma**
What's he up to this late at night?
**[10:14] Soma**
Post room?
**[10:23] Soma**
He's...
**[10:28] Sebastian**
Welcome, Prince Soma.
**[10:31] Sebastian**
My young master awaits you inside.
**[10:33] Soma**
I-I thought servants
were forbidden on campus!
**[10:36] Ciel**
Circumstances forced our hand.
**[10:39] Sebastian**
Your Highness, may I ask that you keep
the fact that I am his servant a secret?
**[10:45] Sebastian**
If you were to let it slip...
**[10:47] Soma**
No, I won't tell! I swear!
**[10:51] Ciel**
Well? Have you learnt anything?
**[10:53] Soma**
Yes. In fact...
**[10:56] Soma**
He snuck off to the post room last night,
**[10:58] Soma**
and delivered cards
to other Red House boys.
**[11:02] Soma**
And a whole lot of them, too!
**[11:04] Sebastian**
Cards?
**[11:05] Soma**
He should just talk to people directly.
**[11:08] Sebastian**
Evidence finally seems obtainable.
**[11:10] Ciel**
Now it's just a matter of
how to "reconcile" with him.
**[11:15] Soma**
Oh! One more thing...
**[11:21] Sebastian**
Young master.
**[11:23] Ciel**
Yes. That was the final piece of the puzzle.
**[11:26] Ciel**
We owe that to you. Thank you.
**[11:33] Soma**
Ta-ta! Come to me again
if you need another favour!
**[11:38] Ciel**
Time for a council of war, Sebastian.
**[11:42] Sebastian**
Very good.
**[11:44] Ciel**
We'll settle this tomorrow.
**[11:52] Maurice**
Well? What do you want?
**[11:54] Maurice**
Why did you call me *here*?
I have to be at the swan gazebo.
**[12:00] Ciel**
I won't take up too much of your time.
**[12:02] Ciel**
There's just something
I'd like to confirm with you.
**[12:06] Ciel**
Cole, you seem to have made a mistake when
you gave me the message about my invitation.
**[12:13] Maurice**
You're still saying that?
You shouldn't blame others for your failings.
**[12:18] Ciel**
A kind friend of mine asked
our classmates what they heard.
**[12:21] Ciel**
As the prettiest boy in Weston,
you always have an audience.
**[12:25] Ciel**
A full 18 students testified that
you mistakenly said "four o'clock."
**[12:31] Ciel**
Well, perhaps "mistakenly"
isn't the right word.
**[12:36] Ciel**
It was on purpose, after all.
**[12:38] Maurice**
Pah! You overstretch with your accusations.
**[12:41] Ciel**
All right, then how do you explain
Joanne Harcourt and the four other boys?
**[12:45] Maurice**
What?
**[12:47] (Flashback) Harcourt**
Cole said he gave me an invitation
to the swan gazebo, but I never got one.
**[12:56] Ciel**
The students the prefects
invited to the swan gazebo.
**[12:59] Ciel**
All the ones who broke their appointments
cite issues with your messages as the cause.
**[13:06] Ciel**
For someone in your position as
a prefect's drudge to tarnish the weak
**[13:10] Ciel**
is more than unsporting and underhanded.
It's the behaviour of a compulsive liar.
**[13:15] Ciel**
And on top of that, you even have others
do the drudge-work for your prefect.
**[13:20] Maurice**
Hm? Your meaning escapes me.
**[13:24] Ciel**
You haven't done a single thing
that Redmond has asked of you.
**[13:27] Ciel**
You did not organise any data, did not
iron his things, did not shine his shoes...
**[13:31] Ciel**
You did not even make his tea treats.
**[13:34] Ciel**
All of your "talents" are a sham!
**[13:38] Maurice**
You've got quite the imagination.
**[13:40] Maurice**
How dare you accuse me without proof?
**[13:42] Ciel**
Oh, but I do have proof.
**[13:48] Maurice**
Th-That's...
**[13:50] Ciel**
Surely you recognize it?
**[13:51] Ciel**
It's one of the cards you send your hangers-on,
asking them to do your work.
**[13:56] Ciel**
Here we have the data-organising one.
**[13:59] Ciel**
Here's the ironing one.
**[14:01] Ciel**
Here's the shoe-shining one.
**[14:02] Ciel**
And here's one you sent the cook
asking for baked goods.
**[14:07] Ciel**
Would you like to see more? I have plenty.
**[14:10] Ciel**
They're all written and dated
in your own handwriting.
**[14:15] Maurice**
I *explicitly* told them to destroy those!
**[14:17] Ciel**
Oh, they were destroyed all right.
**[14:20] Ciel**
Fortunately, the rubbish
hadn't been collected yet.
**[14:23] Ciel**
You should know that
it was quite difficult for us
**[14:27] Ciel**
to find these bits of torn cards in the
mountains of rubbish produced by Weston.
**[14:34] Ciel**
Not to mention how much work
it took us to patch them together
**[14:37] Ciel**
after they'd been torn up so finely.
**[14:41] Ciel**
I wonder what Redmond
would think if he knew...
**[14:46] Ciel**
Aren't you ashamed of yourself
as a Weston College student?
**[14:52] Ciel**
I'm willing to excuse your deceit of *us*.
**[14:58] Ciel**
But you should tell Redmond the truth.
**[15:03] Ciel**
You two have a brotherly trust, don't you?
**[15:10] Maurice**
You're right. I'll tell him everything.
**[15:16] Maurice**
Is that what you expect me to say? Get real!
**[15:29] Maurice**
Don't tell me you're dumb enough
to think I'd come here unprepared.
**[15:38] Maurice**
There. Proof destroyed.
**[15:41] Maurice**
Poor you, after going
to such trouble to find it.
**[15:45] Maurice**
Who do you think you are,
you little nuisance?
**[15:49] Maurice**
A little favour from your seniors
has given you a big head.
**[15:53] Maurice**
Using others is a talent in its own right.
**[15:56] Maurice**
I'm making effective use of
otherwise unexceptional people.
**[16:01] Maurice**
Me, the most beautiful Weston student.
**[16:04] Maurice**
Whether or not a boy becomes
a prefect here sways the rest of his life.
**[16:09] Maurice**
Do you have any idea how much
I've toadied up to the prefects here?
**[16:14] Maurice**
An earl like you wouldn't understand what
it's like to be a younger son, forever untitled.
**[16:20] Ciel**
I don't see the value in
a victory won with false power!
**[16:25] Maurice**
Playing the goody-goody, huh?
**[16:28] Maurice**
That infuriates me!
**[16:29] Maurice**
I'm the one who'll be the
next prefect of Red House!
**[16:33] Maurice**
I'm the one Redmond treats the best!
**[16:36] Maurice**
And I'm the most beautiful!
**[16:40] Ciel**
What are you do—
**[16:43] Maurice**
You were an idiot to pick
a meeting-place that is so out of the way.
**[16:48] Maurice**
No one will come to help you.
**[16:50] Maurice**
Now, let's take a little photograph.
**[16:54] Maurice**
One that might embarrass you to death.
**[17:01] Maurice**
Do it, boys.
**[17:09] Ciel**
Please, stop!
**[17:12] Edward & Greenhill**
What the hell are you boys doing?!
**[17:24] Greenhill**
I vowed never to use violence again. You'll pay
heavily for making me break that vow, Cole.
**[17:30] Maurice**
I-I'm begging you, Greenhill.
Don't tell Redmond that I—
**[17:35] Bluewer**
You don't want to beg for *our* silence?
**[17:38] Maurice**
Bluewer? Violet?
**[17:41] Maurice**
Wh-What are you doing here?
**[17:43] Ciel**
It would be odd of them
*not* to come running
**[17:46] Ciel**
after hearing the brilliant and talented
Maurice Cole was committing violence.
**[17:51] Maurice**
But the swan gazebo is so far from here.
They couldn't have heard my voice—
**[17:55] Ciel**
Cole.
**[17:57] Ciel**
Sound is transmitted by vibration,
not by volume.
**[18:02] Ciel**
No matter how great the distance,
**[18:04] Ciel**
a sound can theoretically be heard
anywhere its vibrations reach.
**[18:07] Ciel**
For example, if you connect thin,
flat surfaces using pins and thread,
**[18:11] Ciel**
which are good at transmitting vibrations,
**[18:14] Ciel**
you can create a mechanism for
transmitting sound across distance.
**[18:19] Ciel**
It works...
**[18:21] Ciel**
...just like this.
**[18:26] Maurice**
It can't be...
**[18:28] Maurice**
It can't be...
**[18:30] Maurice**
It can't be...
**[18:31] Maurice**
It can't be!
**[18:33] Maurice**
It can't be!
**[18:39] Redmond**
I heard everything.
**[18:43] Maurice**
R-Redmond...
**[18:48] Redmond**
I never thought *you* would betray me as well.
**[18:51] Redmond**
I'm ashamed of how poor
a judge of character I am.
**[18:55] Maurice**
I-It's not—
**[18:56] Redmond**
I don't want to hear excuses.
**[18:59] Redmond**
I'm disappointed in you, Cole!
**[19:02] Redmond**
I hereby revoke our brotherly relationship!
**[19:17] Ciel**
Cole.
**[19:20] Ciel**
I'm sure you can regain others' trust
if you show them your true self from now on.
**[19:27] Maurice**
Phantomhive...
**[19:31] Ciel**
That's why...
**[19:34] Ciel**
I've distributed photos
of the true you across campus.
**[19:48] Ciel**
I think you should be proud.
**[19:52] Ciel**
Your makeup skills are first-rate.
**[19:58] Edward**
Ciel.
**[20:05] Edward**
I apologize for my unjust accusations.
**[20:08] Edward**
Please forgive me.
**[20:09] Ciel**
Regardless of the reason, I *was* late.
**[20:13] Edward**
You don't owe me an apology, Edward.
**[20:15] Greenhill**
I must say, I'm impressed by your gumption.
**[20:20] Greenhill**
No wonder Midford respects you.
**[20:22] Violet**
You're very interesting.
**[20:26] Bluewer**
You acted very bravely, Phantomhive.
**[20:31] Ciel**
*He smiled...*
**[20:33] Ciel**
Th-Thank you.
**[20:35] Ciel**
When I learnt I wasn't the only one to suffer,
I got so passionate about it...
**[20:42] Ciel**
I've never been one to let
rum behaviour go unchallenged.
**[20:46] Greenhill**
Following tradition, telling the truth,
and being of pure and noble character:
**[20:51] Greenhill**
that's what makes you a true Weston man.
**[21:14] Clayton**
Never breaking trust
and always remaining humble,
**[21:18] Clayton**
while I remain in this holy academic nest,
**[21:21] Clayton**
I will build a relationship
of mutual betterment with you.
**[21:24] Clayton**
I swear it before St. George.
**[21:28] Clayton**
I ask you to be my drudge,
**[21:32] Clayton**
Ciel Phantomhive.
**[21:43] Ciel**
I humbly accept.

Particularly about what he's like
when he's in Red House, where I can't go.

**[03:07] Student B**
You've got a House flower! I'm jealous.
**[03:10] Ciel**
Oh, uh, thank you.
**[03:19] Student C**
Look. It's that boy who got in
with the P4 crowd in just a few days.
**[03:23] Soma**
That's...
**[03:25] Soma**
Oi!
**[03:28] Soma**
Look at you, Ciel! You're so popular!
**[03:34] Soma**
I'm happy to see you've
made friends, my glum chum!
**[03:48] Ciel**
It feels as though
I'm suddenly an opera star.
**[03:53] Sebastian**
Well, you've given several excellent
performances recently, young master.
**[03:58] Sebastian**
Have you considered
pursuing a career on the stage?
**[04:01] Ciel**
If riling me is your intent, it's working.
**[04:04] Sebastian**
Nonsense, my lord.
**[04:06] Sebastian**
It was a heartfelt compliment.
**[04:09] Ciel**
Even *more* odious.
**[04:13] Sebastian**
You've eliminated the
interfering Maurice Cole,
**[04:16] Sebastian**
while simultaneously climbing
straight to the position you sought.
**[04:21] Sebastian**
All is well, is it not?
**[04:23] Ciel**
Our ultimate goal is still a long way off.
**[04:27] Ciel**
The Queen's orders were to find out why her
relative, Derrick Arden, and several others
**[04:33] Ciel**
have sequestered themselves here and
stopped contacting anyone outside Weston.
**[04:39] Sebastian**
Yet we have yet to even see their faces.
**[04:44] Ciel**
Not a single one of them, in fact.
**[04:47] Ciel**
This is patently abnormal.
**[04:50] Ciel**
I considered invoking an authority that
would force Weston to send them home,
**[04:55] Ciel**
but Her Majesty only
ordered us to find the *cause*.
**[05:00] Ciel**
I suspect—no, I'm *certain* she knows there's
more to this than a mere "rebellious phase."
**[05:10] Ciel**
She knows something very serious
is happening here at Weston.
**[05:19] Ciel**
But its special rules bind us hand and foot.
**[05:23] Ciel**
A proper investigation is impossible.
**[05:25] Ciel**
We might as well be prisoners.
**[05:28] Sebastian**
Isn't that precisely why
you're building relationships
**[05:31] Sebastian**
with the prefects,
the keepers of the rules?
**[05:37] Sebastian**
By means far more amicable
than usual, I might add.
**[05:42] Ciel**
I suppose.
**[05:43] Ciel**
But I'm still just

I can't wait to get back to

**[06:03] Ciel**
Here, I have to rush in at the last moment
so that no one will see the scars on my back.
**[06:08] Ciel**
Well, at least I'm finally in this "P4" group.
**[06:13] Ciel**
I'll see how they respond to
direct questions about Derrick.
**[06:16] Sebastian**
Yes. The one who seems most likely
to have pertinent information
**[06:21] Sebastian**
is the prefect of Violet Wolf House,
where Derrick transferred.
**[06:25] Greenhill**
Violet!
**[06:29] Greenhill**
H-H-How long must I hold this pose?
**[06:34] Violet**
Hmm... Don't move until I'm done sketching.
**[06:39] Greenhill**
I repeat: *when* will that be?!
**[06:43] Redmond**
What's the issue?
Think of it as a form of training.
**[06:48] Redmond**
You Green Housers always
get restless near the Fourth of June.
**[06:53] Redmond**
Take this chance to stand still for a change.
**[06:57] Greenhill**
Red House is no different!
**[06:59] Bluewer**
Though whenever the Fourth approaches,
**[07:01] Bluewer**
boys in all the Houses lose their heads
and their marks tend to drop.
**[07:05] Ciel**
Pardon me, but does something special
happen on the Fourth of June?
**[07:10] Harcourt**
It's the annual inter-house
cricket tournament.
**[07:13] Ciel**
Cricket, eh?
**[07:15] Greenhill**
Weston College's traditional tournament
has a hundred-year history.
**[07:20] Bluewer**
You ought to have memorized
Weston's event calendar.
**[07:23] Ciel**
I-I'm sorry.
**[07:25] Ciel**
* I wasn't intending to be here*
* long enough for it to matter.*
**[07:29] Bluewer**
It's our grandest event,
and it only happens once a year.
**[07:33] Bluewer**
The Queen herself views
the winning House's boat parade
**[07:36] Bluewer**
from Windsor Castle across the river.
**[07:41] Edward**
Weston's Houses are fiercely
competitive to start with,
**[07:45] Edward**
so the whole campus is
on edge at this time of year.
**[07:50] Violet**
I couldn't care less about it, personally.
**[07:53] Cheslock**
Well, I *hate* the other Houses,
so *I'm* ready for violence!
**[07:59] Violet**
I don't like so many people visiting.
**[08:04] Ciel**
Hm? But aren't outsiders
forbidden on school grounds?
**[08:07] Clayton**
There are opening and closing festivities.
**[08:10] Clayton**
It's the one time of year when we can invite
relatives to the school's grand dining hall.
**[08:16] Redmond**
Female visitors are allowed as well.
**[08:19] Redmond**
Escorting a beautiful lady is
a great display of status, you know.
**[08:25] Violet**
I've never seen you do that, Redmond.
**[08:29] Redmond**
I don't like to limit myself to one lady.
**[08:33] Ciel**
* He made Greenhill pose like that*
* and then didn't sketch him.*
**[08:37] Greenhill**
A-Are you done?
**[08:40] Violet**
Not yet.
**[08:43] Redmond**
Lawrence strolls around with
a gaggle of women every year, though.
**[08:46] Bluewer**
"Women" is too innocent a word!
**[08:48] Harcourt**
Right, you have a large family, don't you?
**[08:53] Harcourt**
I have two older sisters.
How many do you have?
**[09:01] Bluewer**
Three older sisters and four younger ones.
**[09:06] Bluewer**
And I'm the only brother.
**[09:08] Cheslock**
Ugh! One younger sister
is annoying enough for me.
**[09:11] Edward**
*My* younger sister is
ladylike and reasonable,
**[09:14] Edward**
so she causes no bother at all.
**[09:16] Ciel**
*That's not how I'd describe her...*
**[09:19] Bluewer**
I'd prefer not to invite them, but...
**[09:21] Violet**
Something's missing.
**[09:24] Bluewer**
...they absolutely insist on coming.
**[09:26] Greenhill**
V-Violet... I-I'm reaching my limit...
**[09:31] Violet**
I'm almost finished. Don't move.
**[09:33] Ciel**
*He still hasn't drawn Greenhill.*
**[09:36] Redmond**
By the way, Phantomhive,
isn't Midford's sister your betrothed?
**[09:43] Redmond**
Will you invite her?
**[09:45] Ciel**
Um...
**[09:46] Edward**
She'll be here! But make no mistake:
it will be to support me, *not* him!
**[09:50] Redmond**
Well, now. I look forward to seeing
where Lady Elizabeth chooses to sit!
**[09:56] Redmond**
So? How far have you gone with her?
**[09:59] Redmond**
Have you at least kissed?
**[10:01] Ciel**
Pardon?!
**[10:02] Edward**
R-R-R-R-Redmond!
**[10:05] Cheslock**
You're a healthy boy,
so don't tell us you've done *nothing*.
**[10:08] Ciel**
Uh, I...
**[10:10] Edward**
Cheslock!
**[10:12] Edward**
Lizzie is an *angel*! She would *never*!
**[10:15] Edward**
Don't you dare insult my sister!
**[10:16] Cheslock**
Don't start tearing up! It's off-putting!
**[10:19] Edward**
There are no tears!
**[10:20] Cheslock**
Are too!
**[10:20] Ciel**
*This is ridiculous.*
**[10:20] Edward**
Are not!
**[10:21] Cheslock**
Oh, sod off!
**[10:22] Ciel**
* Clearly, all closed-off*
* environments are the same.*
**[10:25] Greenhill**
Get your heads in the game!
**[10:27] Greenhill**
The opening and closing festivities
only exist to rouse the cricketers' spirits!
**[10:35] Greenhill**
Dancing with ladies is not the purpose of—
**[10:36] Violet**
Don't move.
**[10:38] Greenhill**
How dare you?!
**[10:39] Violet**
This was going to be a masterpiece,
but you ruined it.
**[10:48] Greenhill**
I-I'm sorry...
**[10:50] Ciel**
*He didn't sketch his model even once.*
**[10:53] Ciel**
* He's an artistic genius, though.*
* What's this queer fellow's story?*
**[10:58] Ciel**
* Ordinarily, I avoid*
* eccentric types like the plague,*
**[11:02] Ciel**
*but I need to make* some *
conversation to get on his good side.*
**[11:05] Ciel**
D-Do you dance too, Violet?
**[11:09] Violet**
I hate dancing.
**[11:12] Violet**
It makes me dizzy.
**[11:14] Ciel**
I see...
**[11:16] Ciel**
*Conversation over.*
**[11:19] Ciel**
*I'll have to change tactics.*
**[11:23] Ciel**
*It's less natural than I'd like, but...*
**[11:26] Ciel**
I'm beginning to look forward
to the Fourth of June, too!
**[11:30] Ciel**
But isn't it hard to battle against
other Houses if you have friends there?
**[11:34] Greenhill**
Anyone who holds back in
a fair competition is not a true friend!
**[11:39] Harcourt**
I suppose not,
**[11:41] Harcourt**
but I think I'd have trouble
battling you, Phantomhive.
**[11:45] Ciel**
I feel the same, Harcourt.
**[11:49] Ciel**
I have a friend in
Purple House as well, so—
**[11:52] Cheslock**
Oh, is that why you visited us?
**[11:56] Ciel**
Yes. His name is Derrick Arden—
**[12:18] Ciel**
Huh?
**[12:26] Violet**
Derrick, you say?
**[12:35] Ciel**
Um...
**[12:38] Edward**
Isn't Derrick Arden
the Duke of Clemens's son?
**[12:42] Ciel**
Y-Yes.
**[12:44] Edward**
I'm surprised you know him.
**[12:46] Ciel**
He was good enough to play with me
a few times when we were little.
**[12:50] Cheslock**
Uh-huh...
**[12:53] Ciel**
* The P4 grew blatantly uneasy*
* the moment I mentioned Derrick's name.*
**[12:58] Cheslock**
You still blubbing?
**[12:58] Ciel**
*And yet, their drudges weren't affected...*
**[12:59] Edward**
Hush up! Enough of that!
**[13:02] Ciel**
*I'll try prodding a bit more.*
**[13:06] Ciel**
The letter Derrick sent me
said he was in Red House,
**[13:10] Ciel**
so I was surprised when I got here and
heard he'd transferred to Purple House.
**[13:16] Bluewer**
Yes, it took some time for us
to understand his true personality.
**[13:22] Redmond**
He was once my drudge, actually.
**[13:25] Redmond**
He was quite talented.
**[13:27] Greenhill**
Yes, I agree.
**[13:32] Violet**
He was peculiar.
**[13:35] Ciel**
*"Peculiar"?*
**[13:37] Ciel**
*Her Majesty's letter didn't mention* that*.*
**[13:41] Ciel**
That makes sense.
Purple House is where the strange—
**[13:44] Ciel**
Uh, the *specially talented* students gather.
**[13:48] Ciel**
What was Derrick's talent?
**[13:51] Bluewer**
It's difficult to sum up
neatly, but I'd say...
**[13:54] Bluewer**
Memorization.
**[13:55] Greenhill**
Cricket.
**[13:56] Redmond**
Songwriting.
**[13:56] Violet**
Poetry.
**[13:58] Ciel**
Pardon?
**[13:59] Ciel**
Um...
**[14:01] Redmond**
At any rate, it was the
Head Master's decision that he transfer.
**[14:05] Greenhill**
The Head Master's orders
are never mistaken.
**[14:10] Bluewer**
And...
**[14:12] P4**
The Head Master's decisions are absolute.
**[14:19] Bluewer**
Speaking of the Fourth,
let's discuss the ceremony.
**[14:21] Ciel**
*This is odd.*
**[14:22] Greenhill**
What's the programme?
**[14:22] Ciel**
* Even if the Head Master traditionally decides,*
* I'd expect the prefects to know the reason.*
**[14:24] Redmond**
I assume the same as always.
**[14:28] Ciel**
* Coupled with their attitude*
* earlier, this clinches it.*
**[14:40] Ciel**
*The P4 are trying to hide something.*
**[14:44] Ciel**
* They'll get suspicious if*
* I pursue it any further, though.*
**[14:49] Ciel**
*I'll let it drop for now.*
**[15:02] Edward**
When you asked to meet me here,
I was worried.
**[15:04] Edward**
You're asking about Derrick Arden again?
**[15:07] Edward**
I always thought you were
more indifferent to other people.
**[15:10] Ciel**
I just don't think it makes sense.
**[15:12] Ciel**
If the Houses are so hostile to one another,
a transfer between them seems odd.
**[15:17] Edward**
Well, it's not as if Arden's
the only one who transferred.
**[15:23] Edward**
I don't know much about the affairs of
other Houses, but I recall several other boys
**[15:27] Edward**
transferring from Red to
Purple House around the same time.
**[15:31] Ciel**
Their names?
**[15:31] Edward**
I don't know. I just told you
I didn't know the details.
**[15:35] Ciel**
Why would so many transfer at once?
Could they have caused some incident?
**[15:39] Edward**
I haven't heard anything of the sort...
**[15:44] Edward**
But it's something the Head Master decided.
**[15:48] Ciel**
I see.
**[15:51] Ciel**
*Even Edward takes that line, eh?*
**[15:55] Ciel**
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
**[15:57] Ciel**
Thank you.
**[15:58] Edward**
Ciel.
**[16:00] Edward**
Why did you come to Weston?
**[16:04] Edward**
Was it on "guard dog" duty?
**[16:08] Ciel**
It's nothing you need to worry about.
**[16:12] Ciel**
Until next time.
**[16:18] McMillan**
Do you mean Gleason, Hardy,
Isaac, and Thewlis?
**[16:25] McMillan**
I think they transferred to
Purple House around six months ago.
**[16:29] Ciel**
*I should've asked McMillan first.*
**[16:32] McMillan**
I say, why are you so curious
about what goes on in other Houses?
**[16:37] Ciel**
Why aren't you curious?
**[16:40] McMillan**
Why would I be? The Head Master decided it.
**[16:44] Ciel**
*The Head Master here, too?*
**[16:47] McMillan**
He may have been balancing the numbers.
**[16:50] McMillan**
Purple House is full of eccentrics,
and I hear a lot of them drop out.
**[16:55] McMillan**
Now tell me, what did you
and the P4 talk about?
**[16:59] Side Part Boy**
I want to know!
**[17:00] Round-Faced Boy**
Me, too!
**[17:01] Ciel**
Sorry. I just remembered
I have drudge-work.
**[17:05] Ciel**
Let's talk about this later.
**[17:08] McMillan**
Oh, all right...
**[17:10] McMillan; Side Part Boy; Round-Faced Boy**
Until later!
**[17:11] Ciel**
*I'm sick of this.*
**[17:16] Ciel**
Excuse me, may I ask you a question?
**[17:19] Senior Boy A**
Derrick Arden? I remember people
saying he was a fast runner.
**[17:24] Senior Boy B**
You mean the reputed brilliant dancer?
**[17:26] Senior Boy C**
I heard he won an award for his painting.
**[17:29] Senior Boy D**
Isn't he the brilliant
manuscript illuminator?
**[17:33] Ciel**
Why did he transfer Houses?
**[17:35] Senior Boys A-D**
Who knows? It was the Head Master's decision.
**[17:40] Ciel**
* Everyone has a different*
* description of Derrick.*
**[17:44] Ciel**
*What was he like at school?*
**[17:49] Ciel**
* And what's more, not a single person*
* here questions his transfer.*
**[17:52] Ciel**
*Their thoughts just come to a standstill.*
**[17:55] Soma**
Your friends aren't with you today?
**[17:57] Ciel**
* These are England's famed elites?*
* Don't make me laugh.*
**[18:01] Soma**
Hello!
**[18:03] Ciel**
Sheep in a pasture would do better.
**[18:06] Soma**
Huh? Did I offend you somehow?
**[18:14] Agares**
Derrick Arden?
**[18:17] Sebastian**
Yes. He hasn't come to any lessons
for a while, so I'm worried.
**[18:22] Agares**
I'm impressed you show concern
for boys outside your House.
**[18:26] Sebastian**
House assignments aren't what matters.
**[18:29] Agares**
He was quite an excellent student.
**[18:32] Sebastian**
Oh? Why was his House
assignment changed, then?
**[18:37] Agares**
I couldn't say.
It was the Head Master's decision.
**[18:41] Sebastian**
Perhaps the shock of the transfer
is why he stopped coming to lessons?
**[18:45] Agares**
I couldn't say.
It was the Head Master's decisiooooon!
**[18:50] Sebastian**
Master Agares!
**[18:51] Agares**
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
**[18:52] Sebastian**
Are you all right?
**[18:53] Sebastian**
Shall I take you to the infirmary?
**[18:57] Agares**
No need. Thank you.
**[19:06] Sebastian**
Sunt aliquid Manes: letum non omnia finit,
**[19:14] Sebastian**
luridaque euictos...
**[19:19] Ciel**
*Why did he call me out here so abruptly?*
**[19:28] Ciel**
Oi, Se—
**[19:39] Sebastian**
Goodness.
**[19:41] Sebastian**
What brings you here so late?
**[19:48] Sebastian**
Are you looking for something?
**[19:50] Bluewer**
No.
**[19:53] Bluewer**
Good night, Master Michaelis.
**[20:01] Sebastian**
I apologize for my roughness.
**[20:04] Sebastian**
I noticed you were being watched.
**[20:08] Ciel**
I drew a little too much
attention to myself.
**[20:11] Ciel**
But sniffing about got me nowhere.
**[20:14] Ciel**
No matter what I ask, the answer ends with,
"It was the Head Master's decision."
**[20:18] Sebastian**
The faculty and staff are the same.
**[20:21] Ciel**
Them, too, eh? We're making no headway.
**[20:25] Ciel**
Fine. I'll contact Derrick
directly—by any means necessary.
**[20:32] Ciel**
Come along, Sebastian.
**[20:34] Sebastian**
But young master, won't walking
about this late get you two Ys?
**[20:40] Ciel**
Isn't it the instructors who give students
their punishments, Master Michaelis?
**[20:45] Sebastian**
Ah, yes, quite right.
**[20:54] Sebastian**
Well? How will you meet Lord Derrick?
**[20:59] Sebastian**
You'll be in for it if you're found.
**[21:02] Ciel**
It's simple enough.
**[21:04] Ciel**
Since we can't get inside...
**[21:06] Ciel**
...we'll just have him come out.
**[21:10] Sebastian**
Sound reasoning.
**[21:19] Ciel**
Are you familiar with Weston College
rule No. 87, Master Michaelis?
**[21:25] Sebastian**
"In the event of a fire within
a school building or boarding house,
**[21:30] Sebastian**
all students shall promptly evacuate
to the quad for a roll call by their prefect."
**[21:35] Ciel**
Precisely.
**[21:37] Sebastian**
This is terrible behaviour, Phantomhive,
and grounds for expulsion if you're caught.
**[21:43] Sebastian**
Still, it's a plan worthy of the
Queen's guard dog, young master.
**[21:48] Ciel**
Bluewer was right: one ought
to memorize the school rules.
**[21:52] House Resident A**
Fire!
**[21:53] House Resident B**
Tell the prefect!
**[21:56] Ciel**
We're about to meet at last, Derrick Arden.

**[00:02] Ciel**
Weston's special rules bind us hand and foot.
**[00:05] Ciel**
A proper investigation is impossible.
**[00:07] Ciel**
We might as well be prisoners.
**[00:10] Ciel**
Well, at least I'm finally in this "P4" group.
**[00:14] Ciel**
I'll see how they respond to
direct questions about Derrick.
**[00:17] Ciel**
I have a friend in Purple House as well.
**[00:20] Ciel**
His name is Derrick Arden—
**[00:24] Violet**
Derrick, you say?
**[00:27] Redmond**
At any rate, it was the
Head Master's decision that he transfer.
**[00:32] Greenhill**
The Head Master's orders
are never mistaken.
**[00:35] Bluewer**
And...
**[00:36] P4**
The Head Master's decisions are absolute.
**[00:40] Edward**
It's not as if Arden's
the only one who transferred.
**[00:42] Ciel**
Their names?
**[00:43] Edward**
I don't know.
**[00:44] Edward**
It's something the Head Master decided.
**[00:47] Ciel**
I see.
**[00:49] Ciel**
*Even Edward takes that line, eh?*
**[00:52] Sebastian**
Well? How will you meet Lord Derrick?
**[00:55] Sebastian**
You'll be in for it if you're found.
**[00:58] Ciel**
It's simple enough.
**[01:00] Ciel**
Since we can't get inside...
**[01:02] Ciel**
...we'll just have him come out.
**[01:05] Ciel**
We're about to meet at last, Derrick Arden.
**[01:25] Cheslock**
Everyone evacuate!
**[01:27] Cheslock**
Hurry up!
**[01:33] Ciel**
Sebastian, find Derrick and the others.
**[01:35] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[01:45] Ciel**
Are they here?
**[01:46] Sebastian**
Not yet.
**[01:49] Ciel**
*What's going on? Get out here.*
**[01:55] Cheslock**
Monitor, take roll call
and report to the prefect!
**[01:57] Purple House Student**
Right!
**[02:05] Ciel**
Still not here?
**[02:06] Sebastian**
No.
**[02:07] Ciel**
That does it.
Sebastian, go rescue Derrick and—
**[02:10] Sebastian**
One moment, my lord.
**[02:13] Sebastian**
Yes, I'm sure.
**[02:16] Sebastian**
I detect no souls inside Purple House.
**[02:20] Ciel**
What?
**[02:21] Sebastian**
At such close range,
I can sense any soul inside,
**[02:28] Sebastian**
and thus, any living human.
**[02:32] Ciel**
So everyone has already evacuated?
**[02:35] Sebastian**
Yes.
**[02:37] Sebastian**
None of the five people said to be
holed up in Purple House are here.
**[02:42] Sebastian**
Which means...
**[02:45] Ciel**
Derrick was never in
Purple House to begin with?
**[03:43] Sign**
Black Butler
**[03:43] Sign**
Public School Arc
**[04:25] Greenhill**
Violet!
**[04:27] Greenhill**
Is everyone all right?
**[04:30] Violet**
Yes. Everyone's here.
**[04:34] Ciel**
Things have gotten curiouser.
**[04:37] Sebastian**
Yes.
**[04:38] Sebastian**
This proves that the P4 are indeed hiding
something about the missing boys.
**[04:44] Ciel**
There's no point in dragging
this out if Derrick isn't here.
**[04:48] Ciel**
Put out the fire.
**[04:49] Sebastian**
Very good.
**[04:50] Green House Student**
Green House, go fetch water!
**[04:54] Blue House Student**
Blue House, bring water here
faster than the other Houses!
**[04:56] Red House Student**
Red House, don't let them win!
Go report this to the Masters!
**[04:59] Sebastian**
Attention, everyone!
**[05:02] Sebastian**
I have water here!
**[05:04] Bluewer**
Master Michaelis?
**[05:06] Soma**
That's my elephant!
**[05:08] Sebastian**
Be as quick as you can,
before the fire spreads.
**[05:10] Students**
Right!
**[05:12] Soma**
Good elephant!
**[05:16] Edward**
Right! Green House, follow me!
**[05:19] Green House Students**
Yes, sir!
**[05:20] Clayton**
Let's go, Blue House!
**[05:22] Blue House Students**
Understood!
**[05:23] Violet**
Stay out of Purple House!
**[05:29] Clayton**
B-But...
**[05:31] Soma**
Idiot! This is no time to take that attitude!
**[05:34] Soma**
You're the mayor of Purple House, aren't you?
**[05:37] Soma**
Your silly pride can't protect your people!
**[05:40] Soma**
What kind of mayor
can't protect his subjects?
**[05:43] Cheslock**
Just who do you think you're talking to?
**[05:46] Violet**
Cheslock!
**[05:51] Violet**
It's all right. We'll let them help.
**[05:55] Cheslock**
Fine.
**[06:02] Edward**
Keep a cloth over your mouths!
Don't inhale the smoke!
**[06:05] Clayton**
Be careful opening any doors!
The fire may surge!
**[06:09] Harcourt**
If you are injured, come this way!
**[06:12] Cheslock**
You'd better watch your backs.
**[06:16] Cheslock**
I'll make you all pay for this!
**[06:20] Cheslock**
Look alive, Purple House!
Don't just stand there!
**[06:37] Ciel**
* Derrick and the others have disappeared,*
* and the P4 are keeping mum about it.*
**[06:42] Ciel**
* The only option left is to*
* make contact with the Head Master.*
**[06:46] Ciel**
* But only the P4 and their drudges may*
* participate in the midnight tea parties.*
**[06:52] Ciel**
* I could eliminate Clayton and*
* take his place as prefect's drudge...*
**[06:58] Ciel**
*No, no.*
**[06:59] Student A**
It's a good job yesterday's fire
died down so quickly.
**[07:02] McMillan**
It's scary, though.
People are saying it was arson.
**[07:05] Student B**
I wonder if they will cancel
the cricket tournament.
**[07:10] McMillan**
They would never.
It's a Weston tradition!
**[07:14] Student A**
Not that Blue House has
much of a chance anyway.
**[07:17] McMillan**
I hear the Head Master
comes to the tournaments,
**[07:20] McMillan**
so we must support our team loudly!
**[07:22] Ciel**
*What? The Head Master's coming?*
**[07:25] McMillan**
And even if Blue House is
the perennial wooden spooner,
**[07:28] McMillan**
at least the midnight tea party is
something everyone has an equal chance of—
**[07:31] Ciel**
I-I say! Is that true?
**[07:34] McMillan**
Hmm? You mean that we're wooden spooners?
**[07:37] Ciel**
No, the other part.
**[07:39] McMillan**
The Head Master is awfully busy,
**[07:41] McMillan**
but I hear he always comes to watch
the Fourth of June tournament.
**[07:44] McMillan**
And every year, he chooses one athlete
who did well in the tournament,
**[07:47] McMillan**
and invites him to a midnight tea party!
**[07:51] Ciel**
* There is a way I can attend*
* a tea party after all!*
**[07:55] Ciel**
Does he pick the one who has scored
the most runs for the winning team?
**[07:58] McMillan**
Actually, he gives
a different reason every year.
**[08:02] McMillan**
Some years, it's the highest-scoring player,
**[08:05] McMillan**
and others, it's a player on the
last-place team who demonstrated fair play.
**[08:09] Student A**
The boy who gets chosen is the one
whose performance the Head Master deems
**[08:13] Student A**
is "most worthy of a gentleman."
**[08:15] Ciel**
*What does that mean?*
**[08:16] Ciel**
* Choosing that way would be far harder*
* than just choosing the winner.*
**[08:20] McMillan**
Two years ago, he apparently chose a boy
who threw himself in front of the ball
**[08:26] McMillan**
to protect a member of
the crowd from being hit.
**[08:31] (Flashback) Nearby Student**
Clayton!
**[08:34] Ciel**
In other words, that act constituted
play "worthy of a gentleman" in his eyes?
**[08:40] McMillan**
Though as there are
only 11 players per team,
**[08:44] McMillan**
securing a spot at all is difficult enough.
**[08:46] McMillan**
First-years have no chance.
**[08:48] Ciel**
* I hate to admit it,*
* but I'm not very good at sport.*
**[08:52] Ciel**
*Getting picked won't be easy.*
**[08:55] Ciel**
*What to do, what to do...*
**[08:58] Clayton**
Phantomhive.
**[09:00] Clayton**
I need to speak with you.
**[09:10] Clayton**
Congratulations!
**[09:11] Clayton**
You have been chosen to play cricket
on the Fourth of June.
**[09:15] Ciel**
Me? R-Really?
**[09:18] Clayton**
Yes.
**[09:19] Ciel**
I-I'm deeply honoured. But why me?
**[09:23] Clayton**
Unlike the hulking clots
in the other Houses,
**[09:27] Clayton**
our House specialises in strategic play.
**[09:30] Clayton**
Your physique may be lacking,
**[09:32] Clayton**
but the way you exposed Maurice Cole's
wrongdoing took brains and guts.
**[09:36] Clayton**
You're certain to be useful to the team.
**[09:38] Clayton**
At least, that's what
your sponsor strongly feels.
**[09:42] Ciel**
Pardon?
**[09:43] Clayton**
Master Michaelis.
**[09:44] Ciel**
Oh, the Master recommended me?
**[09:48] Ciel**
*Well done, Sebastian.*
**[09:50] Ciel**
* I hate to praise you,*
* but that was excellent support.*
**[09:54] Clayton**
Be sure to thank him.
**[09:56] Ciel**
Yes, I'll do that right away!
**[10:05] Ciel**
* Ugh, witnesses everywhere.*
* Well, nothing for it.*
**[10:10] Ciel**
Master Michaelis!
**[10:14] Ciel**
Thank you for recommending me
for the cricket team!
**[10:17] Sebastian**
Now, now, Phantomhive. You mustn't run.
**[10:21] Ciel**
I'm sorry. I was in a hurry to thank you.
**[10:25] Sebastian**
There is no need to thank me.
I'm confident that you'll be brilliant.
**[10:31] Ciel**
Yes, sir! I will need to
prepare for the tournament.
**[10:34] Sebastian**
I'll help you, if you'd like.
**[10:37] Ciel**
You will?
**[10:39] Sebastian**
Of course.
**[10:40] Sebastian**
But only after I've checked that
you've finished all your extra work.
**[10:45] Sebastian**
I'm merely one hell of an educator, you see.
**[10:49] Ciel**
* Victory, individual achievement,*
* gentlemanly play...*
**[10:53] Ciel**
* Which of these takes priority is*
* on the whim of the Head Master.*
**[10:56] Sebastian**
* The lack of a clear standard means it will*
* be most difficult to ensure he is chosen.*
**[11:02] Sebastian**
*However...*
**[11:06] Ciel**
* Scoring runs, achieving*
* victory for Blue House,*
**[11:08] Ciel**
* and moving the crowd*
* to tears should do it.*
**[11:20] Ciel**
* I'll do whatever it takes to get*
* an invitation to the midnight tea party.*
**[11:33] Sebastian**
*I look forward to the Fourth of June.*
**[11:52] Sebastian**
* The opening festivities*
* are as lively as advertised.*
**[11:59] Agares**
Ladies and gentleman,
apologies for interrupting the merriment.
**[12:03] Agares**
Thank you all for coming
to the opening ceremony
**[12:07] Agares**
of Weston College's traditional
Fourth of June cricket match.
**[12:12] Agares**
I'm pleased that we are able
to hold it again this year.
**[12:18] Agares**
Please enjoy this evening's
opening festivities.
**[12:24] Agares**
And now...
**[12:27] Agares**
Houses, send in your athletes!
**[12:34] Gentleman in His Prime**
Wh-What's this?
**[12:35] Middle-Aged Lady**
An earthquake?
**[12:37] Student C**
H-Here they come!
**[12:39] Student D**
No other House can match their
overwhelming physical power and unity!
**[12:47] Agares**
"Top of the World," the eternal champions...
**[12:51] Agares**
Green Lion House!
**[12:58] Elizabeth**
Brother, you look so cool!
**[13:06] Student E**
L-Look! It's the team that almost
beat Green House last year!
**[13:11] Student F**
Their splendid play
makes spectators swoon!
**[13:14] Agares**
"Brilliant Eden,"
the garden of magnificent play...
**[13:18] Agares**
Scarlet Fox House!
**[13:32] Student C**
C-Could this be...
**[13:34] Student D**
The team said to confound their opponents
with their tricksy unpredictability?
**[13:40] Agares**
"Ghost Legion," the assembly of ghouls...
**[13:44] Agares**
Violet Wolf House!
**[13:49] Student C**
They didn't even use the door...
They're already being tricksy!
**[13:55] Student E**
Those birds... Ah, of course.
**[13:59] Student F**
They're outmatched physically,
**[14:01] Student F**
but they are strategists,
ready to seize any chance of victory.
**[14:06] Agares**
"God Only Knows,"
the cornered rats who may bite...
**[14:10] Agares**
Sapphire Owl House!
**[14:17] Ciel**
*N-Not much of a reaction...*
**[14:19] Ciel**
*Given our wooden spoon status,*
**[14:21] Ciel**
* I should have expected our entrance and*
* the crowd's welcome to be unimpressive.*
**[14:26] Elizabeth**
Ciel, you look so cute! Do your best!
**[14:40] Agares**
Light the fire of Saint George!
**[14:43] Greenhill**
We athletes vow...
**[14:46] Bluewer**
...to follow Weston College tradition...
**[14:48] Redmond**
...and to fight fair and square...
**[14:51] Violet**
...from beginning to end.
**[15:01] Agares**
I hereby declare that the 1889
inter-house cricket tournament...
**[15:09] Agares**
begins here!
**[15:23] Agares**
The competition will be fierce tomorrow.
**[15:27] Agares**
So for tonight, please enjoy
yourselves to the fullest.
**[15:40] Instructor**
L-Lower Master!
**[15:41] Agares**
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
**[15:49] Greenhill**
We won't make it to the final
on an empty stomach! Eat up!
**[15:53] Athletes**
Yes, sir!
**[15:56] Lady**
How wonderful.
**[16:09] Bluewer**
They lack discipline.
**[16:11] Bluewer**
We'll have a strategy meeting
to further perfect our tactics!
**[16:14] Bluewer**
We can't waste a single moment!
**[16:16] Athletes**
Understood!
**[16:17] Older Sister A**
Don't be such a bore.
**[16:21] Older Sister A**
You should have fun, too.
**[16:22] Bluewer**
S-Sister?!
**[16:23] Twins**
Have fun, too!
**[16:25] Older Sister B**
Listen to that lordly manner of yours.
Quite different from when you're at home!
**[16:29] Older Sister C**
To think the little boy who always played
house with me has become a prefect!
**[16:35] Bluewer**
Sister!
**[16:37] Bluewer**
I beg you, stop making uncalled-for
remarks and go somewhere else!
**[16:40] Older Sister A**
Laurie! What do you mean, "uncalled-for"?
**[16:42] Twins**
What do you mean?
**[16:44] Older Sister C**
It's a pleasure to meet
my brother's schoolmates.
**[16:46] Younger Sister A**
Brother, Brother, where is Lord Edgar?
**[16:49] Ciel**
*They look exactly like in Violet's sketch.*
**[16:53] Older Sister A**
This is crooked, silly.
**[16:54] Ciel**
*He truly is a hero.*
**[16:56] Older Sister B**
Oh!
**[16:57] Older Sister B**
You must be Phantomhive.
**[17:00] Older Sister B**
My brother's letter called you
a very talented first-year.
**[17:04] Ciel**
Thank you.
**[17:06] Older Sister A**
Aw, you're so *adorable*!
**[17:09] Older Sister A**
He's a little small, but he's got a good face,
a good mind, and a good title. A triple threat.
**[17:14] Older Sister B**
Yes, quite.
**[17:15] Ciel**
Um...
**[17:16] Older Sister A**
Would you like to marry my younger sister?
**[17:20] Ciel**
Pardon me?!
**[17:21] Younger Sister B**
Please, stop!
**[17:22] Older Sister A**
What are you blushing for?
**[17:25] Older Sister C**
This is indecorous, Adela.
**[17:27] Ciel**
I, um...
**[17:28] Elizabeth**
Ciel!
**[17:31] Elizabeth**
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
**[17:33] Elizabeth**
I'm Elizabeth, Ciel's betrothed.
**[17:38] Edward**
You're promised to Lizzie!
How dare you behave in this way?!
**[17:40] Ciel**
Wait, stop.
**[17:43] Older Sister B**
I suppose he was bound to have one.
**[17:43] Edward**
You scoundrel! Scoundrel! Scoundrel!
**[17:45] Older Sister A**
The best men are always taken.
**[17:47] Elizabeth**
Stop that, Brother!
**[17:51] Elizabeth**
Brother?
**[17:53] Redmond**
Blue House is as lively as ever.
**[17:57] Soma**
Ciel, that strange hat looks good on you!
**[18:01] Harcourt**
So that's her.
**[18:03] Ciel**
I didn't think you'd be chosen to compete.
**[18:06] Soma**
Of course I was!
**[18:07] Harcourt**
Kadar is very good at cricket.
**[18:11] Soma**
India is wild about cricket
since you English brought it over.
**[18:15] Soma**
I used to put together teams at the palace.
**[18:17] Ciel**
I see.
**[18:19] Younger Sister A**
Lord Edgar! When are you
finally going to dance with me?
**[18:25] Redmond**
Perhaps when you no longer tread on my feet.
**[18:27] Younger Sister A**
You're cruel!
**[18:29] Druitt**
Why, Edgar, how could you
say such a thing to a lady?
**[18:33] Druitt**
Have you forgotten everything
I taught you, nephew?
**[18:39] Younger Sister A**
It's Viscount Druitt!
**[18:40] Redmond**
Uncle Aleister!
**[18:42] Druitt**
Non! Not "uncle."
**[18:46] Ciel**
*I knew Redmond reminded me of someone...*
**[18:51] Ciel**
*It was him?!*
**[18:55] Druitt**
Ah, my dear old school!
**[18:59] Druitt**
Those youthful days when I was
dewy as a rose in the morning mist
**[19:02] Druitt**
suddenly feel as if
they were only yesterday!
**[19:05] Ciel**
*I didn't even know he was a Weston graduate.*
**[19:08] Frances**
I dislike such flighty men.
**[19:12] Sebastian**
Oh, dear. What an assembly
of troublesome characters.
**[19:17] Sebastian**
*Perhaps I'll keep my distance.*
**[19:22] Frances**
Oi, indecent butler. What are you doing here?
**[19:26] Sebastian**
Why, Lady Scotney. You've caught me.
**[19:31] Frances**
What is the meaning of this haircut?
I've never seen such a slovenly educator!
**[19:36] Frances**
Well, never mind. Your presence
tells me that Ciel's attendance here is...
**[19:44] Sebastian**
You are absolutely right, your ladyship.
**[19:49] Elizabeth**
What?
**[19:50] Elizabeth**
Aren't you Se—
**[19:56] Alexis**
Who is that, my dear?
**[19:58] Edward**
You know my mother, sir?
**[20:00] Elizabeth**
Don't be silly, you two! That teacher is...
**[20:06] Sebastian**
Good evening. It's been too long.
**[20:10] Alexis**
My goodness! I didn't even realise.
**[20:13] Edward**
Neither did I.
**[20:14] Ciel**
I thought you'd noticed
and were just keeping quiet.
**[20:17] Edward**
Lizzie is in the room.
Why would I even notice anyone else?
**[20:21] Ciel**
Don't say that like it's normal.
**[20:23] Edward**
Does tomorrow's tournament
have anything to do with your job?
**[20:26] Ciel**
In a way, but do not hold
back on that account.
**[20:29] Edward**
I won't, then.
**[20:30] Elizabeth**
I'll be cheering you on!
**[20:34] Elizabeth**
Win, Ciel!
**[20:35] Ciel**
R-Right...
**[20:37] Edward**
Blue House could never win!
**[20:41] Alexis**
That's not necessarily true.
**[20:43] Alexis**
Blue House did win once
while I was a student,
**[20:48] Alexis**
though I've heard it was their only win.
**[20:51] McMillan**
D-Do you mean the year
of the Sapphire Miracle?!
**[20:56] McMillan**
I-I'm McMillan, Phantomhive's best friend!
**[21:00] Ciel**
"Best friend"?
**[21:00] McMillan**
Please, Lord Scotney, tell me all about it!
**[21:04] Alexis**
Of course. It happened while I was drudging
for the Green House prefect, like Ed here.
**[21:17] (Flashback) Diederich**
Today, he'll finally get what's coming to him!
**[21:21] (Flashback) Teen Alexis**
Please, calm down.
**[21:23] (Flashback) Diederich**
How could anyone stay calm
in the face of this, Midford?!
**[21:27] (Flashback) Diederich**
No proper prefect would skive
the preparations for the Fourth of June!
**[21:31] (Flashback) Diederich**
He's always so...
**[21:38] (Flashback) Diederich**
Wake up, moleface.
**[21:41] (Flashback) Vincent**
Aw, I was three minutes
from the end of the book.
**[21:46] (Flashback) Diederich**
Prefects aren't allowed in the quad
for the purposes of napping!
**[21:50] (Flashback) Vincent**
Don't be so testy, Diederich.
**[21:55] (Flashback) Vincent**
And my name isn't "moleface," either.
**[21:58] (Flashback) Vincent**
It's Vincent Phantomhive.

**[00:04] Diederich**
Wake up, moleface.
**[00:05] Diederich**
Prefects aren't allowed in the quad
for the purposes of napping!
**[00:10] Vincent**
Don't be so testy, Diederich.
**[00:14] Vincent**
And my name isn't "moleface," either.
**[00:17] Vincent**
It's Vincent Phantomhive.
**[00:20] Diederich**
Don't call me by my first name.
It's against the rules.
**[00:24] Vincent**
You Germans are as stiff as your bread.
**[00:29] Diederich**
Why, you!
**[00:31] Diederich**
I won't tolerate this disrespect!
**[00:33] Alexis**
Wait—
**[00:38] Vincent**
Quite the bookmark you have there.
**[00:43] Diederich**
Why did you shirk the prep work?
**[00:43] Onlooker A**
It's the P4.
**[00:46] Onlooker B**
Those two are at it again?
**[00:46] Vincent**
Oh, was that today?
**[00:49] Diederich**
Don't play dumb!
**[00:50] Vincent**
Sorry, sorry.
**[00:51] Diederich**
I had to do everything myself,
thanks to you!
**[00:55] Vincent**
Ah, you did my part?
What a swell fellow you are.
**[01:00] Diederich**
I swear I will never understand
how someone like *you* made prefect.
**[01:04] Vincent**
I wonder that myself.
**[01:06] Diederich**
The rest of Blue House clearly can't amount
to much if they accept you as prefect.
**[01:15] Vincent**
You may say whatever you like about me,
**[01:19] Vincent**
but I would appreciate it if you
didn't insult the rest of Blue House.
**[01:23] Diederich**
A captain represents his squadron.
**[01:26] Diederich**
Anyone willing to take orders
from you is no better than you are.
**[01:34] Vincent**
Care to put a little wager on that?
**[01:37] Diederich**
What?
**[01:38] Vincent**
Let's see which of our Houses wins
the Fourth of June cricket tournament.
**[01:43] Vincent**
The winner gets to issue one order
that the loser may not refuse.
**[01:48] Vincent**
So how about it?
**[02:42] Sign**
Black Butler
**[02:42] Sign**
Public School Arc
**[03:22] Diederich**
All right.
**[03:24] Alexis**
But—
**[03:25] Diederich**
Green House would never lose
to the perennial wooden spooners.
**[03:29] Diederich**
When I win, you will step down
from your prefect position.
**[03:33] Vincent**
That's all you want?
How easily satisfied you are.
**[03:37] Vincent**
Well, I will think of something for you to do.
**[03:43] Diederich**
You'd better be true to your word.
**[03:45] Vincent**
You as well.
**[03:52] Diederich**
It can't be...
**[03:54] Diederich**
How could *I*...
**[03:56] Diederich**
How could *Green* *House*...
**[03:58] Diederich**
...lose to Blue House?!
**[04:01] Blue House Student**
We did it! Blue House's first ever victory!
**[04:09] Diederich**
Phantomhive.
**[04:14] Vincent**
So you finally learned
my name, eh, Diederich?
**[04:19] Diederich**
I lost. I will take one order
from you, as promised.
**[04:24] Vincent**
Ah, yes. I remember discussing that.
**[04:26] Vincent**
Just the one, then.
**[04:29] Vincent**
Be my drudge.
**[04:35] Diederich**
Pardon?
**[04:36] Diederich**
Wh-What are you on about?
**[04:38] Diederich**
I'm in Green House. And I'm a prefect!
**[04:42] Vincent**
Traditions are important,
but so are promises.
**[04:46] Vincent**
I won, didn't I?
**[04:48] Vincent**
From now on, you will come when I call,
wherever we both are. Without fail.
**[04:53] Diederich**
D-Do you realize how many months
are left until graduation?
**[04:56] Vincent**
You should listen better.
Who said it would stop at graduation?
**[05:02] Diederich**
What do you mean?
**[05:03] Diederich**
Oi, get back here!
This conversation isn't over!
**[05:07] Vincent**
My part is!
**[05:09] Diederich**
Phantomhive, you snake!
**[05:14] Vincent**
My search is over.
**[05:17] Vincent**
I've always wanted a loyal German dog.
**[05:24] Diederich**
Get back here!
**[05:26] Alexis**
*Their icy relationship is finally thawing!*
**[05:26] Diederich**
What are *you* laughing at?
**[05:28] Vincent**
You're spoiling your image, Dee-Dee!
**[05:28] Diederich**
Get back here, you weasel!
**[05:33] Ciel**
M-My father was in Blue House?
**[05:35] McMillan**
Your papa was behind the
Sapphire Miracle? How marvellous!
**[05:39] Alexis**
Ah, so no one had told you that yet?
**[05:43] Elizabeth**
You were a drudge, Father?
**[05:47] Edward**
You were younger than Uncle Vincent?
**[05:50] Alexis**
It was a truly splendid game.
**[05:53] Alexis**
I'm afraid our team was soundly beaten.
**[05:57] Alexis**
You have inherited the blood of
a cricketing genius. Do your best.
**[06:04] Agares**
Ladies and gentleman,
the moment has come.
**[06:07] Agares**
I will now announce
the tournament brackets.
**[06:11] Ciel**
*"Sapphire Miracle"?*
**[06:13] Ciel**
*Ridiculous.*
**[06:15] Ciel**
*I don't believe in miracles.*
**[06:20] Ciel**
*That's why I'll seize this victory by force.*
**[06:25] Umpire**
The first match of the inter-house
cricket tournament is about to begin.
**[06:30] Umpire**
Sapphire Owl House
versus Scarlet Fox House!
**[06:35] Edgar**
How unlucky for you that you have
to face Red House first, Lawrence.
**[06:42] Soma**
I may lose at chess, but not at cricket.
**[06:45] Ciel**
We'll see.
**[06:48] Umpire**
Red House to bowl. Play!
**[06:51] Soma**
Here I come!
**[06:55] Bluewer**
*So quick!*
**[06:57] Umpire**
Out!
**[06:58] Blue House Student 1**
He was bowled first ball?!
**[07:00] Blue House Student 2**
I guess sport really isn't our forte.
**[07:04] Ciel**
* I see all that talk about him*
* being good at cricket was accurate.*
**[07:09] Bluewer**
Let's have at it, Kadar!
**[07:13] Red House Player**
He popped it up!
**[07:15] Clayton**
He got me.
**[07:20] Redmond**
Nice flight.
**[07:22] Female Spectator A**
Oh, Lord Edgar!
**[07:24] Female Spectator B**
You're so wonderful!
**[07:25] Umpire**
Run out!
**[07:26] Baldroy**
Uh-oh.
**[07:28] Baldroy**
They don't stand a chance.
**[07:30] Finnian**
Does this mean we have
practically lost already?
**[07:33] Mey-Rin**
Blue House are such weaklings, yes.
**[07:37] McMillan**
You're cruel, Miss Maid!
**[07:39] Elizabeth**
He's right. We have to cheer them on!
**[07:42] Elizabeth**
You can do it, Ciel!
**[07:45] Finnian**
Good point. Go, young master!
**[07:48] Mey-Rin**
We're here for you, yes!
**[07:50] Baldroy**
He ain't even out there yet.
**[07:55] Sebastian**
They certainly are a carefree bunch.
**[08:00] Umpire**
Tenth wicket.
**[08:01] Sebastian**
Oh dear. It's our turn to bowl already?
**[08:05] Bluewer**
Catch it, Clayton!
**[08:07] Clayton**
Leave it to—
**[08:09] All Blue Housers but Ciel and Clayton**
Clayton!
**[08:12] Umpire**
Three runs!
**[08:13] Ciel**
Blast.
**[08:15] Redmond**
I suppose it's my turn now.
**[08:17] Redmond**
Ready whenever you are.
**[08:19] Bluewer**
So it's you, Redmond.
**[08:22] Bluewer**
Stay focused, Coward!
**[08:24] Coward**
Right!
**[08:31] Redmond**
*A slow ball?*
**[08:33] Redmond**
*Wait—this is strategic.*
**[08:36] Redmond**
* He intentionally bowled a slow ball*
* so that it won't go as far off my bat.*
**[08:40] Redmond**
* But the speed of the ball*
* means nothing to me.*
**[08:44] Redmond**
*Dance, my red roses, and become a whirlwind!*
**[08:48] Redmond**
*Crimson Tornado!*
**[08:56] Red House Student**
Over the boundary for six!
**[08:58] Druitt**
You make your dear uncle proud!
**[09:01] Sebastian**
* So he used the centrifugal force*
* of his turn to increase his power.*
**[09:05] Sebastian**
*Impressive.*
**[09:07] Redmond**
Now, give me your best shot.
**[09:10] Redmond**
This game has only just begun.
**[09:15] Lau**
My, my, what a one-sided match.
**[09:20] Lau**
But you still have *that* card to play.
**[09:25] Lau**
Don't you, my lord?
**[09:28] Gentleman**
Oi, you there.
**[09:30] Gentleman**
Give me a red card!
**[09:31] Lau**
What a safe investor you are.
**[09:32] Misc. Gentlemen**
Red for me, too!
**[09:33] Lau**
Coming right up.
**[09:34] Misc. Gentlemen**
And one for me!
**[09:34] Sebastian**
I see he is the same as ever, too.
**[09:44] Bluewer**
I should bowl in the second innings.
**[09:47] Ciel**
Wait a minute. I thought we agreed
to save that tactic for the final match.
**[09:51] Bluewer**
We won't make it to the
final match if we lose this one.
**[09:54] Bluewer**
You approve, don't you, Coach?
**[09:56] Bluewer**
Coach?
**[09:58] Bluewer**
Where did Master Michaelis go?
**[10:00] Ciel**
Probably in the lavatory.
**[10:02] Clayton**
At a time like this?!
**[10:04] Ciel**
At any rate, we shouldn't change our
strategy without the coach's approval.
**[10:08] Bluewer**
But...
**[10:10] Ciel**
I'm batting next.
Can I ask you to leave it to me?
**[10:15] Bluewer**
You have a plan?
**[10:17] Ciel**
Yes. I promise to pave
the way for a comeback.
**[10:22] Red House Boy A**
This will be an easy win for us.
**[10:24] Red House Boy B**
We knew that going into it.
**[10:27] Red House Boy C**
Stop chatting and get these ready to—
**[10:29] Red House Boy C**
Hmm? Where did that meat pie go?
**[10:32] Red House Boy B**
Maybe someone left it behind?
**[10:34] Red House Boy C**
No, I don't think so.
**[10:36] Red House Boy A**
Say, isn't this it?
**[10:38] Red House Boy B**
Which sod moved it there?!
**[10:41] Red House Boy C**
Never mind. Let's just start serving.
**[10:43] Redmond**
They're putting up so little resistance,
it feels like a walk in the park.
**[10:47] Red House Student**
I couldn't agree more.
**[10:49] Harcourt**
Here we are, everyone!
**[10:51] Soma**
Oh, that looks tasty!
**[10:54] Soma**
But is there cow meat inside? I can't eat cow.
**[10:57] Harcourt**
No, it looks like chicken.
**[11:00] Soma**
Good man! In that case,
give me the biggest slice!
**[11:04] Red House Boy A**
*Hmm? I don't remember it being chicken...*
**[11:08] Clayton**
Coach! Where have you been?
**[11:10] Sebastian**
I apologise. Nature called.
**[11:13] Clayton**
You certainly took your time!
The break is almost over.
**[11:19] Harcourt**
Let's both give this everything
we've got, Phantomhive.
**[11:23] Ciel**
Of course, Harcourt.
**[11:26] Druitt**
Oh, what an adorable standoff!
**[11:30] Druitt**
Though that boy with the eyepatch
seems familiar somehow...
**[11:39] Ciel**
*Spin bowling?*
**[11:41] Soma**
That was a good bowl.
**[11:43] Redmond**
Well, he *is* my drudge, you know.
**[11:49] Clayton**
He's only managing to defend!
**[11:51] Bluewer**
No, wait. His eyes say
he hasn't given up yet.
**[11:57] Redmond**
You're getting sharper.
**[11:58] Redmond**
Settle it with your next bowl, Harcourt.
**[12:02] Harcourt**
*I'm sorry, Phantomhive.*
**[12:05] Harcourt**
*This ends it!*
**[12:17] Redmond**
What's wrong, Harcourt?!
**[12:20] Soma**
What? What's happening?
**[12:25] Redmond**
M-My stomach...
**[12:35] Ciel**
*It's that time.*
**[12:46] Red House Boy A**
This will be an easy win for us.
**[12:49] Red House Boy B**
We knew that going into it.
**[12:51] Red House Boy C**
Stop chatting and get these ready to—
**[12:54] Red House Boy C**
Hmm? Where did that meat pie go?
**[12:58] Ciel**
* Batting isn't the only way*
* to turn the tables.*
**[13:03] Ciel**
* Tell me, did you enjoy*
* our meat and laxative pie?*
**[13:07] Redmond**
I mustn't disgrace myself on the field.
**[13:11] Redmond**
Retreat! Everybody, retreat!
**[13:13] Red House Athlete**
Wait! There's someone left on the field!
**[13:16] Harcourt**
No... If I move now, I'll...
**[13:19] Redmond**
Harcourt! Hang on, I'm coming—
**[13:21] Red House Athlete**
Don't be rash! You're a prefect!
**[13:30] Redmond**
Harcourt!
**[13:33] Druitt**
Ah, what a tragedy! And yet...
**[13:37] Druitt**
...that boy is just my type!
**[13:41] Umpire**
Ahem. As Scarlet Fox House is unable to
continue, we will consider them withdrawn.
**[13:48] Umpire**
The first match therefore
goes to Sapphire Owl House.
**[13:52] Bluewer & co.**
What?
**[13:54] Bluewer & co.**
What?!
**[14:05] Sebastian**
Tanaka?
**[14:08] Tanaka**
Well, if it isn't Master Michaelis.
**[14:11] Sebastian**
Perfect timing. Please have this for lunch.
**[14:14] Tanaka**
Why, thank you. A ground beef pie, hmm?
**[14:20] Tanaka**
Just one thing, though.
**[14:24] Tanaka**
Do I have your word that this
won't upset anyone's digestion?
**[14:30] Sebastian**
Of course.
**[14:32] Tanaka**
I expect to see another
Sapphire Miracle today!
**[14:39] Sebastian**
Very good, sir.
**[14:45] Cheslock**
My bowling is never dull.
**[14:48] Cheslock**
Burn, fingers, burn.
**[14:51] Cheslock**
Accelerating violet smoke: Purple Burnout!
**[14:55] Umpire**
Bowled him.
**[14:58] Cheslock**
Well, Violet? What did you think of my—
**[15:01] Cheslock**
He's not even watching!
**[15:03] Edward**
*He put some powerful topspin on that ball.*
**[15:06] Edward**
* Those same magical fingers that can play*
* any instrument the moment he picks it up*
**[15:11] Edward**
*inspired a unique bowl.*
**[15:13] Spectator**
Bowled again! So even Green House
can do nothing about Cheslock?
**[15:22] Umpire**
Over the boundary for six!
**[15:24] Green House Student**
That's our Greenhill!
**[15:25] Green House Student**
No wonder they call him the greatest
cricketer in Weston's history!
**[15:31] Greenhill**
There is no ball that I can't hit!
**[15:35] Spectator**
Greenhill isn't stopping!
How many does he intend to swat away?
**[15:39] Umpire**
Green Lion House is the victor.
**[15:42] Edward**
We won by a country mile.
**[15:44] Greenhill**
Naturally.
**[15:46] Greenhill**
Violet! What are you doing?
**[15:48] Violet**
All done.
**[15:51] Violet**
Don't step on it.
**[15:53] Greenhill**
Will you be serious for *once* in your life?!
**[15:53] Alexis**
So the final match will be
Green House against Blue House.
**[15:56] Alexis**
It's just like the year of the Sapphire
Miracle. Isn't this exciting, dear?
**[16:01] Frances**
Yes, quite.
**[16:03] Umpire**
We will now begin the final match.
**[16:05] Umpire**
Sapphire Owl House
versus Green Lion House!
**[16:11] Greenhill**
I'll be giving this my all.
**[16:14] Bluewer**
I'm honoured.
**[16:15] Elizabeth**
Ciel! You can do it!
**[16:19] Edward**
Lizzie?!
**[16:20] Greenhill**
You're embarrassing yourself, Midford.
**[16:24] Edward**
I'll trounce you, just you wait.
**[16:26] Ciel**
Don't go too hard on me.
**[16:28] Umpire**
Blue House to bat first. Play!
**[16:32] Sebastian**
As the coach, I'll support the team
to the best of my ability as well.
**[16:37] Sebastian**
Let's begin, everyone.
**[16:40] Green House Master**
Using music to cheer them on?
What is Master Michaelis thinking?
**[16:45] Sebastian**
I don't think Green House can
afford the time to enjoy a little music.
**[16:50] Sebastian**
We'll start with the Radetzky March.
**[17:01] Spectator A**
H-He hit it!
**[17:03] Spectator B**
Four runs off the first ball!
**[17:09] Edward**
What?!
**[17:10] Umpire**
Three runs!
**[17:12] Edward**
* His form is terrible, but he's managing*
* to put away Heinz's rip-snorters. How?*
**[17:21] Edward**
*His eyes are closed?!*
**[17:25] Edward**
* What is this? How can he bat*
* with his eyes closed?*
**[17:33] Ciel**
I won't mince words.
**[17:35] Ciel**
We have the weakest and
least athletic players of all the teams,
**[17:41] Ciel**
so I doubt any of us can keep up
with Green House's rip-snorters.
**[17:44] Clayton**
Mind your words!
**[17:47] Ciel**
That's why I came up with this plan.
**[17:50] Ciel**
We simply won't look at the ball.
**[17:52] Ciel**
Because the bowler aims at the wicket,
the ball's trajectory won't vary much.
**[17:58] Ciel**
Which means if the batter can time
his swing right, he will hit it.
**[18:01] Blue House Student**
But if we don't look at the ball,
we won't know when to swing.
**[18:05] Ciel**
Yes, we will. We have only to listen.
**[18:09] Ciel**
We will set up a signal for
when it is time to swing the bat.
**[18:12] Ciel**
Then all the batter needs
to do is swing on cue.
**[18:16] Clayton**
Is such a thing possible?
**[18:18] Ciel**
Yes. In fact, I have already—
**[18:20] Bluewer**
No.
**[18:21] Bluewer**
It's not cricket.
**[18:25] Ciel**
You're saying it's not gentlemanly?
**[18:28] Ciel**
Is that really the case?
**[18:30] Ciel**
We're putting Blue House's pride
on the line to battle the other Houses.
**[18:34] Ciel**
Manners dictate that we bring
everything we have to the battle.
**[18:38] Ciel**
We have intelligence.
**[18:40] Ciel**
Wouldn't using strength to fight
Green House be far more ungentlemanly
**[18:45] Ciel**
when intelligence is our true asset?
**[18:48] Ciel**
Blue House is weak!
**[18:50] Ciel**
So to win, we must strategise effectively
and do all we can without breaking any rules.
**[19:00] Bluewer**
Very well.
**[19:02] Bluewer**
What's the "signal"?
**[19:19] Greenhill**
* Their swings are awful,*
* but their timing is precise.*
**[19:23] Edward**
*What's the trick behind this?*
**[19:29] Edward**
I see how it is.
**[19:31] Greenhill**
You've noticed, too?
**[19:33] Greenhill**
They really have...
**[19:36] Greenhill**
practiced hard!
**[19:37] Edward**
Yes. They're using music to—what?!
**[19:41] Edward**
*H-He's far too unsuspecting of others.*
**[19:44] Edward**
* But that makes me loath*
* to tell him about their foul play.*
**[19:47] Edward**
Greenhill.
**[19:51] Ciel**
*So it's you, Edward.*
**[19:53] Edward**
Your dirty tricks are
unbecoming of a gentleman,
**[19:56] Edward**
and I won't stand for them!
**[19:58] Edward**
Burn, fingers, burn!
**[20:01] Edward**
Accelerating violet smoke: Purple Burnout!
**[20:06] Umpire**
Bowled him. Out!
**[20:09] Cheslock**
When did he learn that?
**[20:19] Edward**
*I'm mediocre.*
**[20:22] Edward**
* When I was ten, my younger sister*
* who'd only just begun fencing lessons*
**[20:26] Edward**
*thoroughly trounced me.*
**[20:28] Edward**
*I'd be lying if I said it didn't rankle.*
**[20:31] Edward**
*Still, I didn't despair.*
**[20:34] Edward**
*I had a true genius before me.*
**[20:37] Edward**
* She became the most instructive*
* possible example for her mediocre brother.*
**[20:42] Edward**
* Weston is the same. This school attracts talent*
* in many different fields, and they all work hard.*
**[20:47] Edward**
*That lets me strive to better myself.*
**[20:50] Edward**
* To get every inch I can*
* closer to the geniuses I respect!*
**[20:55] Greenhill**
* I'm sure he's calling himself*
* "mediocre" right about now.*
**[21:00] Greenhill**
* He genuinely respects others' talents*
* without a hint of jealousy.*
**[21:04] Greenhill**
*He uses them as examples,*
**[21:05] Greenhill**
* exerting untiring effort to bring*
* his own talents closer to genius level.*
**[21:09] Greenhill**
*Full respect is your talent, Midford.*
**[21:14] Greenhill**
*You're a genius.*
**[21:18] Umpire**
Out!
**[21:19] Edward**
* The ball's speed and height*
* change radically after the bounce.*
**[21:23] Edward**
* You won't be able to hit my bowls*
* based on a signal given before the bounce.*
**[21:28] Edward**
* Your orchestral batting*
* method is defeated!*
**[21:30] Sebastian**
*He saw through us impressively quickly.*
**[21:34] Sebastian**
*Let us move on to the next tactic, then.*
**[21:37] Student Spectator**
Oi, look over there!
**[21:39] Student Spectator**
It's the Head Master!
**[21:43] Sebastian**
*That's the Head Master?*
**[21:49] Sebastian**
McMillan.
**[21:50] Sebastian**
I leave the rest to you.
**[21:53] McMillan**
What?!
**[21:54] Ciel**
*So the Head Master's shown himself at last.*
**[21:58] Ciel**
*If we capture him, we resolve all of this.*
**[22:01] Ciel**
*Go, Sebastian!*

**[00:01] Ciel**
M-My father was in Blue House?
**[00:03] Alexis**
You have inherited the blood of
a cricketing genius. Do your best.
**[00:11] Clayton**
Leave it to—
**[00:13] Redmond**
Crimson Tornado!
**[00:15] Red House Student**
Over the boundary for six!
**[00:17] Bluewer**
You have a plan?
**[00:19] Ciel**
Yes. I promise to pave
the way for a comeback.
**[00:22] Red House Boy C**
Hmm? Where did that meat pie go?
**[00:24] Ciel**
Batting isn't the only way
to turn the tables.
**[00:27] Redmond**
My stomach...
**[00:29] Ciel**
Tell me, did you enjoy
our meat and laxative pie?
**[00:34] Redmond**
Harcourt!
**[00:37] Alexis**
So the final match will be
Green House against Blue House.
**[00:41] Alexis**
It's just like the year
of the Sapphire Miracle.
**[00:43] Sebastian**
We'll start with the Radetzky March.
**[00:48] Edward**

**[01:05] Ciel**
*If we capture him, we resolve all of this.*
**[01:08] Ciel**
*Go, Sebastian!*
**[02:03] Sign**
Black Butler
**[02:03] Sign**
Public School Arc
**[02:49] Striker**
Wh-What? Where was the signal?
**[02:50] Bluewer**
The band stopped.
Where is Master Michaelis?
**[02:54] Ciel**
Nature called, I imagine.
**[02:56] Clayton**
Again?
**[02:56] Umpire**
Tenth wicket. Change over.
**[03:00] Clayton**
We really couldn't hit the ball
without support.
**[03:03] Ciel**
No.
**[03:05] Ciel**
*We're on our own for the rest of the game.*
**[03:15] Sebastian**
*He's gone.*
**[03:17] Sebastian**
*But where?*
**[03:20] Sebastian**
*How did he get over there?*
**[03:25] Greenhill**
Hit as many as you can, lads!
First, we need to level the scores up!
**[03:28] Green Athlete**
Yes, sir!
**[03:29] Ciel**
*I don't like it, but I suppose
we'll have to use* that *technique.*
**[03:39] Crew Cut**
*What a sorry delivery.*
**[03:42] Crew Cut**
*Rats!*
**[03:43] Blue Athlete B**
Got it!
**[03:44] Blue Athlete C**
Oof.
**[03:46] Blue Student A**
Our House got someone out!
**[03:49] Blue Student B**
Did you see that batsman
freeze up for a second?
**[03:53] Eyebrows**
How could you miss
a weak delivery like that?
**[03:55] Eyebrows**
I'll leather this one!
**[04:00] Greenhill**
What?
**[04:00] Edward**
Again?
**[04:03] Greenhill**
What in blazes is wrong with you two?
**[04:05] Eyebrows**
Uh, well...
**[04:09] Eyebrows**
I'm sorry.
**[04:14] (Flashback) Ciel**
What?
**[04:16] (Flashback) Ciel**
You want to invite Lau to the Fourth?
**[04:19] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Yes. Their support is
certain to be useful to us.
**[04:23] (Flashback) Ciel**
What exactly about *them* is useful?
**[04:26] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Well, you see...
**[04:36] (Flashback) Ciel**
I can't imagine that would have much impact.
**[04:40] (Flashback) Sebastian**
I'll admit it's not in the best of taste,
**[04:43] (Flashback) Sebastian**
but it should work like a charm
on those cut off from the outside world.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Sebastian**
Perhaps you're still
too young to understand.
**[04:57] Edward**
* Is everyone tensing up*
* because it's the final?*
**[04:59] Edward**
*I need to set a good example.*
**[05:03] Edward**
Come at me!
**[05:06] Edward**
* There's nothing special about this delivery.*
* How could they have missed it?*
**[05:12] Greenhill**
What?
**[05:13] Elizabeth**
Brother?
**[05:15] Greenhill**
You, too? What's the matter?
That was an easy one!
**[05:18] Edward**
I-I apologise!
**[05:20] Green House Student A**
What the devil is wrong with Green House?!
**[05:23] Green House Student B**
Get your heads in the game!
**[05:26] Edward**
Damn it.
**[05:28] Edward**
*What the hell...*
**[05:30] Edward**
*...is that indecent group?!*
**[05:35] Edward**
*So* this *is why the others couldn't focus?*
**[05:37] Edward**
* F-F-For a lady to show her lower limbs*
* in such a fashion is—is—is disgraceful!*
**[05:45] Edward**
*Oh, no! I have to concentrate.*
**[05:53] Umpire**
Out.
**[05:54] Ciel**
*It's having a* huge *impact!*
**[05:57] Ciel**
*Still...*
**[05:58] Ciel**
* I'm not sure how well*
* it will work on Greenhill.*
**[06:03] Greenhill**
Bring it on!
**[06:07] Umpire**
Out.
**[06:10] Ciel**
*It worked* best *on him...*
**[06:14] Ciel**
* Leave it to a demon who knows*
* human desires inside and out.*
**[06:18] Ciel**
* If we can stop them*
* from scoring runs this innings...*
**[06:21] Educator**
I'm telling you to leave!
**[06:23] Educator**
Spectators are forbidden
from wearing such unseemly attire!
**[06:26] Lau**
Oh! My English not so good.
**[06:30] Ciel**
* I didn't expect us to be stopped*
* so soon. Who ratted us out?*
**[06:37] Maurice**
I know just how cheaters think, Phantomhive.
**[06:41] Maurice**
What a band of idiots,
drooling over a little leg.
**[06:51] Woman**
Indeed.
**[06:52] Sebastian**
*Gone again.*
**[06:57] Sebastian**
*He's already over there?*
**[07:01] Greenhill**
We're into the second innings!
**[07:03] Greenhill**
Make sure they get as few runs as possible!
**[07:05] Green Athletes**
Yes, sir!
**[07:09] Edward**
What's that stance about?
**[07:11] Umpire**
You there! Hold your bat
like you're ready to play.
**[07:14] Bluewer**
I *am* ready to play.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Ciel**
Right, let's move on from the
orchestral swing to the next drill.
**[07:30] (Flashback) Clayton**
"Next"? There's more to practise?
**[07:33] (Flashback) Ciel**
Naturally.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Ciel**
We should have some contingency plans
in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
**[07:39] (Flashback) Bluewer**
But what can we do without any strength?
**[07:43] (Flashback) Ciel**
That's simple.
**[07:45] (Flashback) Ciel**
We just won't swing.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Blue Athletes**
What?!
**[07:49] (Flashback) Ciel**
The safest batting method is to use
the bat to guard the wicket and never swing.
**[07:57] (Flashback) Bluewer**
Well, it's safe, certainly,
but we can't return the ball that way.
**[08:02] (Flashback) Ciel**
That's fine. Our Green House opponents
all have good, strong bowling arms.
**[08:20] Bluewer**
*I did it!*
**[08:22] Bluewer**
* The force of the ball's outward trajectory*
* is partly the force of the delivery.*
**[08:26] Bluewer**
* The important thing is to instantly*
* determine where their defence is light,*
**[08:30] Bluewer**
* and make sure the bat deflects*
* the ball in the ideal direction.*
**[08:34] Bluewer**
*As Phantomhive said, we are weak.*
**[08:37] Bluewer**
*But there are still ways for us to fight!*
**[08:43] Bluewer**
*We are not kings,*
**[08:46] Bluewer**
*yet a path has opened to us.*
**[08:49] Bluewer**
* Immovable holy sword:*
* the Sword in the Stone!*
**[08:55] Umpire**
Three runs!
**[08:57] Umpire**
Two runs!
**[08:58] Umpire**
Change over.
**[09:01] Clayton**
We managed to get some runs,
but we're not out of the woods yet.
**[09:06] Ciel**
I think the strategy was quite successful.
**[09:09] Clayton**
Do you think we can stay ahead?
**[09:10] Ciel**
It's not out of the question.
**[09:14] Ciel**
Not with what you and I have, Bluewer.
**[09:19] Clayton**
Our tactic will only work once, though.
**[09:24] Clayton**
Team, please stick with it until then.
**[09:27] Team**
Understood!
**[09:33] Blue Athlete**
I'm sorry. I let him whack that one.
**[09:35] Bluewer**
Chin up. You worked hard.
**[09:38] Bluewer**
There are 12 balls left. Whatever it takes,
we *have* to stay ahead.
**[09:43] Bluewer**
I'm counting on you, Phantomhive.
**[09:46] Ciel**
Right.
**[09:51] Elizabeth**
Ciel is bowling!
**[09:52] Servants**
You can do it, young master!
**[09:54] Soma**
Go, Ciel!
**[09:55] Cheslock**
Hey now. They're letting the shrimp
bowl at this crucial moment?
**[10:04] Cheslock**
What is *that*?
**[10:10] Spectators**
How can they defend like that?
**[10:11] Spectators**
They've left most of the field open.
**[10:13] Spectators**
How do they plan to deal with driven shots?
**[10:17] Blond**
Are you making fun of us?!
**[10:24] Sebastian**
*Something is off.*
**[10:26] Sebastian**
*However fast he may be,
he shouldn't be able to outpace* me*.*
**[10:29] Sebastian**
* Moreover, he walks as though*
* he's trying to evade me.*
**[10:32] Sebastian**
*Could he have sensed my presence?*
**[10:36] Sebastian**
*In that case...*
**[10:38] Sebastian**
* I won't hold myself back*
* playing human for him.*
**[10:54] Sebastian**
*He vanished?*
**[11:00] Sebastian**
* The Head Master vanished,*
* along with my sense of his presence.*
**[11:04] Sebastian**
*To be able to do that means...*
**[11:12] Sebastian**
I suppose I'll return to the field for now.
**[11:17] Blond**
*What are Blue House thinking?*
**[11:22] Ciel**
Here I come.
**[11:24] Blond**
* But those skinny little arms*
* are no threat to me.*
**[11:33] Blond**
You could have hurt me!
Do it again properly!
**[11:36] Ciel**
I'm sorry.
**[11:38] Ciel**
One more time, then.
**[11:44] Umpire**
Out.
**[11:47] Ciel**
I'm sorry.
**[11:47] Blond**
Now, hold on! All I did
was dodge a dangerous delivery.
**[11:50] Blond**
Who misthrows *twice* in a row?
**[11:55] Blond**
*Something's off.*
**[11:57] Blond**
*And this bizarre fielding formation...*
**[12:01] Blond**
* Don't tell me they were*
* after that from the beginning?*
**[12:06] Edward**
It was deliberate?
**[12:07] Green House Student F**
That's not sporting!
**[12:08] Green House Student D**
You'd break the rules to win?
**[12:11] Ciel**
"Break the rules"? Who did? And when?
**[12:16] Edward**
I beg your pardon?
**[12:19] Ciel**
I happened to bowl badly.
**[12:22] Ciel**
The batsman happened to evade it badly.
**[12:24] Ciel**
The ball happened to strike his bat.
**[12:26] Ciel**
And then it happened to fly up,
and one of my teammates caught it.
**[12:31] Ciel**
That's just an ordinary out, I should think.
**[12:34] Edward**
He's right. No rules were broken.
But bowling like that...
**[12:40] Green House Fans**
It's not cricket! It's not cricket!
**[12:44] Green House Fans**
It's not cricket! It's not cricket!
**[12:48] Green House Fans**
It's not cricket! It's not cricket!
**[12:49] Elizabeth**
Ciel...
**[12:52] Green House Fans**
It's not—
**[12:52] Greenhill**
Silence!
**[12:58] Greenhill**
I won't have anyone violating
the sanctity of this match with jeering.
**[13:04] Greenhill**
And you dare call Phantomhive unsporting?
**[13:08] Greenhill**
Can't you lot see this?!
**[13:14] Greenhill**
These hands tell the story.
**[13:17] Greenhill**
His effort and persistence
are written right here.
**[13:20] Greenhill**
Blue House is rotten at sport,
yet look how hard they have worked.
**[13:24] Greenhill**
Do you understand what that means?
**[13:27] Greenhill**
The owl came to hunt
the lion in earnest today!
**[13:37] Greenhill**
I'm glad for the chance to battle you
at your most serious before graduation.
**[13:42] Bluewer**
Thank you. I feel the same.
**[13:45] Greenhill**
It's time to resume the match!
**[13:48] All Athletes**
Right!
**[13:49] Widow's Peak**
*Now that I know your aim, this'll be easy.*
**[13:51] Widow's Peak**
* You'll bowl it high to leg side,*
* and I'll swat it away!*
**[13:56] Widow's Peak**
*Low to the off side?!*
**[13:59] Ciel**
Defend and you die. Attack and you die.
**[14:03] Ciel**
There's nowhere to run.
**[14:05] Ciel**
I call these...
**[14:09] Ciel**
...cliff-edge tactics.
**[14:17] Widow's Peak**
I'm sorry.
**[14:19] Ciel**
*I have one more ball to bowl.*
**[14:30] Edward**
It's you and me, Ciel!
**[14:32] Ciel**
Here I go!
**[14:37] Edward**
Too slow!
**[14:39] Green House Students**
Over the boundary for six!
**[14:42] Baldroy**
Ah, he let them get bat on ball after all.
**[14:45] Paula**
Should we be pleased?
**[14:46] Elizabeth**
Or should we be sad?
**[14:49] Mey-Rin**
What's this?
**[14:50] Mey-Rin**
The young master... is smiling?
**[14:54] Ciel**
* I know all about Edward's*
* strength of mind and kinetic vision.*
**[14:57] Ciel**
*I always knew I couldn't bowl him.*
**[15:00] Ciel**
*That hit was well within expectations.*
**[15:04] Bluewer**
You did well, Phantomhive.
**[15:07] Bluewer**
Leave the rest to me.
**[15:10] Bluewer**
It's been a year, Midford.
**[15:13] Edward**
I scored 28 runs off you in that match.
**[15:21] Bluewer**
This year...
**[15:23] Bluewer**
I'm going to win!
**[15:30] Green House Student A**
That's, uh...
**[15:32] Green House Student B**
A bit off?
**[15:36] A or B**
Blue House never changes!
**[15:39] The opposite letter**
They're good at studying, but not this!
**[15:49] Bluewer**
* It's been six years*
* since I entered Weston College.*
**[15:52] Bluewer**
* Blue House has never experienced*
* anything but last place.*
**[15:56] Bluewer**
* Our House devotes itself*
* to the pursuit of knowledge.*
**[15:59] Bluewer**
*We never questioned our cricket losses.*
**[16:02] Bluewer**
*But one student was different.*
**[16:06] Bluewer**
*He was smaller and frailer than anyone,*
**[16:09] Bluewer**
*yet he thought only of our victory.*
**[16:18] Bluewer**
*He worked hard to that end.*
**[16:24] Bluewer**
*I want to win.*
**[16:26] Bluewer**
* As prefect, I want to win*
* this last tournament.*
**[16:30] Bluewer**
* All I can contribute are*
* precise calculations, detailed plans,*
**[16:35] Bluewer**
* and a willingness to do the drills*
* that make them possible.*
**[16:40] Bluewer**
*That's all.*
**[16:50] Spectator A**
Brilliant!
**[16:52] Spectator B**
What was *that*?
**[16:53] Spectator C**
How is that possible?!
**[16:55] Bluewer**
It was a simple trajectory calculation.
**[16:58] Widow's Peak**
Th-That delivery...
**[17:00] Blond**
How is anyone meant to hit that?
**[17:03] Edward**
*It didn't deviate one inch.*
**[17:05] Edward**
* It dove straight out of*
* the sky to swipe its prey.*
**[17:08] Edward**
*It was like...*
**[17:10] Bluewer**
The owl at night: Hunter in the Dark.
**[17:15] Student A**
He took out *Edward* *Midford* in one ball?!
**[17:18] Student A**
Who *is* he?
**[17:20] Greenhill**
A thoroughly calculated bowling style.
It's very you, Bluewer.
**[17:27] Greenhill**
However...
**[17:29] Greenhill**
There is no ball that I can't hit!
**[17:33] Redmond**
Their final batsman is Greenhill.
It's a P4 showdown.
**[17:37] Spectator**
Brains versus brawn.
**[17:40] Spectator**
Which will win?
**[17:47] Bluewer**
Here I go!
**[17:55] Clayton & Blue Student**
Go!
**[18:16] Spectator**
Over...
**[18:18] Spectator**
Over...
**[18:19] Spectator**
Over the boundary for six!
**[18:21] Another Spectator**
That's 103 runs!
**[18:22] Someone**
We're catching up!
**[18:24] Greenhill**
I've seen though your technique.
**[18:30] Edward**
* He brought his bat down like a sword*
* and sent the ball into the stands.*
**[18:35] Edward**
*Only Greenhill could bat like that.*
**[18:39] Edward**
*Power granted only to the chosen...*
**[18:42] Edward**
*A swing that obliterates all...*
**[18:46] Edward**
*The sacred sword of a king: Excalibur!*
**[18:50] Green House Fans**
We're making a comeback!
**[18:53] Blue Student A**
It's all over. We're certain to lose.
**[18:56] Bluewer**
* He's overcome the results*
* of my training so quickly.*
**[19:00] Bluewer**
*I have nothing left in my arsenal.*
**[19:03] Ciel**
Bluewer.
**[19:05] Ciel**
Let's have one more go.
**[19:08] Bluewer**
That delivery won't work against him.
You want me to just let him hit it?
**[19:13] Ciel**
I'm grateful to you, Bluewer.
**[19:17] Ciel**
Blue House managed to come together
for this because *you* took it seriously.
**[19:23] Ciel**
So I don't want you to have any regrets.
**[19:27] Ciel**
Not even if we lose.
**[19:31] Ciel**
I'm sure the others feel the same.
**[19:38] Ciel**
Show him the best delivery you've got.
**[19:52] Bluewer**
*The match is riding on this one delivery.*
**[19:57] Bluewer**
*The final bowl of my Weston life.*
**[20:01] Bluewer**
* I'll stake Blue House's pride*
* and mine on this delivery.*
**[20:17] Greenhill**
Not good enough!
**[21:24] Ciel**
Umpire!
**[21:26] Umpire**
Out!
**[21:27] Umpire**
Match over!
**[21:38] McMillan**
Blue... Blue...
**[21:40] All Blue House**
Blue House won!
**[21:45] Elizabeth?**
Hurray!
**[21:46] Soma?**
Ciel won!
**[21:55] Blue Someone**
You did it! We did it!
**[21:58] Blue Someone**
Phantomhive!

**[00:03] Sebastian**
*He's gone.*
**[00:04] Sebastian**
*But where?*
**[00:07] Sebastian**
*How did he get over there?*
**[00:09] Ciel**
*I don't like it, but I suppose
we'll have to use* that *technique.**
**[00:14] Greenhill**
Bring it on!
**[00:20] Umpire**
Out.
**[00:21] Ciel**
*It worked* best *on him...**
**[00:26] Sebastian**
*Gone again.*
**[00:28] Bluewer**
There are 12 balls left. Whatever it takes,
we *have* to stay ahead.
**[00:32] Bluewer**
I'm counting on you, Phantomhive.
**[00:34] Sebastian**
*However fast he may be,
he shouldn't be able to outpace* me*.**

Defend and you die. Attack and you die.

There's nowhere to run.

**[01:56] Umpire**
Out!
**[01:57] Umpire**
Match over!
**[01:59] McMillan**
Blue...
**[02:00] All Blue House**
Blue House won!
**[02:05] Elizabeth?**
Hurray!
**[02:05] Soma?**
Ciel won!
**[03:04] Sign**

**[03:04] Sign**
Public School Arc
**[03:43] Blue House athletes**
Hurrah for the second Sapphire Miracle!
**[03:47] Blue House athletes**
And toss!
**[03:48] Sebastian**
Stop.
**[03:52] Sebastian**
You've overexerted yourself. Your priority
should be getting medical treatment.
**[03:57] Ciel**
Master Michaelis...
**[04:01] Ciel**
I was just so happy Blue House won
that I forgot about the pain.
**[04:08] Ciel**
We proved that we have what it takes.
**[04:16] Sebastian**
Honestly, you're...
**[04:22] Sebastian**
...such a problem child.
**[04:42] Ciel**
O-Ouch!
**[04:44] Ciel**
Be a little gentler!
**[04:46] Sebastian**
Didn't I hear someone say he was so happy
that he forgot about his pain?
**[04:51] Ciel**
As if that could happen!
**[04:54] Sebastian**
All your strategies went according to plan.
Brilliant work, young master.
**[04:59] Sebastian**
Although...
**[05:01] Sebastian**
It seems you received rather more of
a "badge of honour" than you'd planned for.
**[05:05] Ciel**
That blasted Greenhill...
**[05:07] Sebastian**
Oh, I retrieved the ball
you ordered me to retrieve.
**[05:12] Ciel**
Hmph. I doubt Bluewer
would have noticed anyhow.
**[05:17] Ciel**
After all, the only difference
is a slight change in weight.
**[05:23] Ciel**
I prepared this ball for Bluewer
to bowl it like he always does.
**[05:28] Ciel**
A subtle difference in weight
greatly alters the trajectory.
**[05:34] Ciel**
I knew that when Greenhill moved
to intercept its trajectory...
**[05:40] Ciel**
...the toe of his bat
would reach the wicketkeeper.
**[05:46] Ciel**
In such circumstances,
the wicketkeeper would drop the ball.
**[05:51] Ciel**
Naturally, Green House's non-striking batsman
would bolt from his crease to get the run.
**[05:56] Ciel**
But then, a misstep.
**[05:59] Ciel**
The striking batsman prioritises
sportsmanship over victory.
**[06:05] Ciel**
Despite his injury, the wicketkeeper
dives for the ball and ensures the run out.
**[06:11] Ciel**
By a curious twist of fate,
it's the tenth wicket.
**[06:14] Ciel**
The wicketkeeper's exertion
secures a "miraculous" victory
**[06:17] Ciel**
for the team known as
perennial wooden spooners.
**[06:21] Ciel**
As you say, it all went according to plan.
**[06:25] Ciel**
We scored runs, achieved victory for
Blue House, and moved the crowd to tears.
**[06:32] Ciel**
I have to say, though...
**[06:33] Ciel**
I don't understand why they carried on bowling
in earnest when they knew it was a lost cause.
**[06:39] Sebastian**
Yes, I've never understood
the human aesthetic of "losing well."
**[06:53] Ciel**
Well? How did *your* plan go?
**[06:56] Sebastian**
May I present...
**[06:58] Sebastian**
...the Head Master.
**[07:01] Ciel**
What?
**[07:02] Sebastian**
I apologize, my lord.
**[07:05] Sebastian**
I pursued him with all my might,
but when I caught him, this is all there was.
**[07:10] Ciel**
*He escaped? From* Sebastian*?**
**[07:14] Ciel**
*Who* is *this Head Master
who can effect an escape from a demon?**
**[07:20] Ciel**
*This only deepens the mystery.*
**[07:25] Ciel**
If this is all you accomplished,
I should've had you make sweets instead.
**[07:29] Ciel**
I'm hungry.
**[07:30] Sebastian**
I thought you might say that.
**[07:40] Sebastian**
I prepared this for you.
**[07:43] Sebastian**
However, you'll have to eat it later.
**[07:47] McMillan & co.**
Phantomhive!
**[07:49] Sebastian**
No raised voices in the Health Centre, boys.
**[07:53] McMillan**
Sorry, Master Michaelis!
**[07:56] McMillan**
Is your head okay?
**[07:57] Ciel**
Yes.
**[07:58] First-year A**
Bluewer was in tears! Did you see?
**[08:01] Ciel**
No.
**[08:01] First-year B**
Even Clayton was praising you to the skies!
**[08:04] Ciel**
Gosh.
**[08:06] McMillan**
I never thought I'd witness
a Sapphire Miracle with my own eyes.
**[08:11] McMillan**
Thank you, Phantomhive.
**[08:15] Ciel**
I didn't do it alone.
**[08:18] First-year A**
Here you go!
**[08:19] First-year A**
A hat for the Procession of Boats.
**[08:22] McMillan**
You're to be the cox!
**[08:24] First-year A**
Suits you!
**[08:24] Someone Else**
Looks good!
**[08:25] A Third Someone**
Dashing!
**[08:26] Ciel**
Oh, um, thank you.
**[08:29] McMillan**
Right, let's go!
**[08:31] McMillan**
It's time for the procession
by the winning House!
**[08:38] Ciel**
* Weston College is famous for*
* its Fourth of June cricket tournament,*
**[08:43] Ciel**
*and the closing festivities.*
**[08:45] Ciel**
* The main event is the*
* Procession of Boats by the winning team.*
**[08:55] Sebastian**
This is Blue House's traditional cox uniform?
**[09:00] Sebastian**
My goodness.
**[09:04] Sebastian**
You cut a far sorrier figure than I expected.
**[09:07] Ciel**
Hush, you!
**[09:10] Ciel**
It's not my fault. Normally,
older students row in the procession.
**[09:15] Ciel**
It's quite shabby for something
that's only been worn once.
**[09:20] Ciel**
Sebastian, raise the hem of these—
**[09:22] Sebastian**
No need, young master.
**[09:24] Ciel**
Hmm?
**[09:26] Sebastian**
You told me you would win.
**[09:28] Sebastian**
As your butler, I naturally
prepared for the occasion.
**[09:44] Elizabeth**
Ciel, you look adorable!
**[09:47] Finnian**
It suits you!
**[09:49] Soma**
Well, don't you scrub up well!
**[09:52] Clayton**
Phantomhive! Hurry up!
**[09:55] McMillan**
Here we go! Everyone smile!
**[10:05] Bluewer**
Allow me to explain the procedure.
**[10:08] Bluewer**
We'll leave the bank
and row along the Thames.
**[10:12] Bluewer**
As we approach Windsor Castle,
**[10:14] Bluewer**
we'll all remove our hats
and salute the Queen.
**[10:18] Bluewer**
Then we'll tip the flowers
into the river and row back.
**[10:23] Bluewer**
There must be no mistakes.
Stay sharp until we're back on land!
**[10:27] Bluewer**
Understood!
**[10:32] Violet**
The sun has set.
**[10:33] Greenhill**
Transfer the fire of
Saint George to the lanterns!
**[10:36] Green House Students**
Yes, sir!
**[10:42] Ciel**
Ready, go.
**[10:50] Ciel**
Catch.
**[10:52] Ciel**
Row.
**[11:05] Finnian**
This is amazing.
**[11:06] Elizabeth**
How beautiful!
**[11:13] Student 1**
Up on the bridge!
**[11:14] Student 2**
It's the Queen!
**[11:16] Rower A**
I-I'm getting nervous!
**[11:18] Bluewer**
Don't throw off our stroke, you idiot!
**[11:23] Student ???**
The cox is standing!
**[11:25] Student 3**
Hats off to the Queen!
**[11:27] Observers**
Your Majesty!
**[11:27] Observers**
Long live the Queen!
**[11:30] Observers**
It's the Queen!
**[11:31] Observers**
Long live the Queen!
**[11:40] Ciel**
* Your Majesty, I swear to present you*
* with the truth behind all this.*
**[11:55] Ciel**
Salute Her Majesty the Queen!
**[12:01] Crowd**
Oh, gosh.
**[12:03] Crowd**
Looking good!
**[12:06] Bluewer**
Phantomhive, we won this tournament
through detailed planning.
**[12:14] Bluewer**
But it seems we made
just one fatal oversight.
**[12:20] Bluewer**
I didn't honestly think we'd win,
**[12:24] Bluewer**
so we never practiced rowing!
**[12:36] Crowd**
Oi!
**[12:37] Crowd**
They capsized!
**[12:41] Crowd**
Now *this* is what I wanted to see!
**[12:44] Soma**
Looking good, Ciel!
**[12:48] Cheslock**
Leave it to Blue House!
**[12:50] McMillan**
Oh, no.
**[12:52] Crowd**
Come on now. Didn't you practice at all?
**[13:11] Ciel**
Wondrous, aren't they?
**[13:15] Bluewer**
A bit too bright.
**[13:21] Bluewer**
So bright my eyes are stinging.
**[14:18] First-year B**
That was so much fun.
**[14:20] First-year A**
I ate too much.
**[14:22] Ciel**
I'm exhausted.
**[14:25] McMillan**
What's the matter?
**[14:29] Ciel**
What's this?
**[14:32] McMillan**
Th-This is amazing!
**[14:34] McMillan**
You've been invited to a midnight tea party!
**[14:36] Ciel**
*What?*
**[14:38] Ciel**
*I did it!*
**[14:39] Ciel**
* At last, I'm entitled to*
* an audience with the Head Master!*
**[14:44] McMillan**
Someone should come fetch you
when that Queen of the Night blooms.
**[14:47] McMillan**
I hear you're supposed to pin it on
when you go to the party.
**[14:53] Sebastian**
Take your turns in the baths, boys.
**[14:56] McMillan + 2 others**
Coming!
**[15:03] Ciel**
* The missing students' whereabouts,*
* the Head Master's true identity...*
**[15:09] Ciel**
* I'll rip the veil from all*
* the mysteries at this tea party!*
**[15:16] Ciel**
*It's the night of the Fourth of June.*
**[15:19] Ciel**
* Weston College is blanketed in a silence*
* that sharply contrasts with the day's clamour.*
**[15:25] Ciel**
* All the doors are locked tight, and leaving*
* the House for any reason is forbidden.*
**[15:31] Ciel**
* Only a select few are allowed*
* to be out and about.*
**[15:40] Ciel**
* Only those attending*
* the midnight tea party.*
**[15:53] Clayton**
It's time.
**[16:12] Bluewer**
Welcome, Phantomhive.
**[16:15] Redmond**
To the elegant...
**[16:17] Bluewer**
...time-honoured...
**[16:19] Greenhill**
...prestigious...
**[16:21] Violet**
...peculiar...
**[16:23] P4**
...midnight tea party.
**[17:23] Ciel**
* That's Weston College's absolute*
* monarch, the Head Master.*
**[17:31] Agares**
Thank you for coming, everyone.
**[17:35] Agares**
Please sit.
**[17:52] Redmond**
I see everyone has their cup.
**[17:54] Redmond**
I propose a toast, though it's a bit dull
with tea instead of champagne.
**[17:58] Bluewer**
Then, to another successful
Fourth of June, faithful to tradition.
**[18:05] Bluewer**
Cheers to Weston College—
**[18:07] Ciel**
A moment, please.
**[18:12] Ciel**
I can't give a heartfelt
"cheers" as things stand.
**[18:16] Bluewer**
What's wrong?
**[18:18] Ciel**
Something is bothering me.
**[18:21] Ciel**
It's about Derrick Arden and his friends.
**[18:26] Ciel**
I can't raise my glass until
I've had a chance to see them.
**[18:30] Edward**
Ciel?
**[18:32] Ciel**
Head Master, may I ask you to hear my case?
**[18:36] Bluewer**
Phantomhive! You are being rude!
**[18:38] Ciel**
I'm well aware of my rudeness.
**[18:40] Ciel**
But Weston College rule No. 15 states:
**[18:44] Ciel**
"Be attentive to your schoolmates at all times,
and compassionately aid them when needed."
**[18:52] Ciel**
Derrick Arden, Richard Gleason, Hans Hardy,
Robert Isaac, and Wayne Thewlis.
**[19:02] Ciel**
They haven't been back
to their homes for a year.
**[19:06] Ciel**
I was told they were
holed up in their House.
**[19:09] Ciel**
Truthfully, when I said
I would be attending Weston,
**[19:12] Ciel**
some of their parents asked me
to persuade their sons to visit them.
**[19:18] Agares**
I see.
**[19:19] Ciel**
But the harder I've tried
to make contact with them,
**[19:21] Ciel**
the more odd things have happened.
**[19:23] Ciel**
I haven't so much as seen them from afar.
**[19:27] Ciel**
Their transfer from Red House to
Purple House was unusually sudden.
**[19:30] Ciel**
Things became even odder
on the night of the fire.
**[19:34] Ciel**
Even after I thought all of the
Purple House students had evacuated,
**[19:38] Ciel**
those five weren't present.
**[19:41] Ciel**
And yet, Violet specifically said
**[19:46] Ciel**
that *everyone* was all right.
**[19:51] Cheslock**
Violet?
**[19:54] Redmond**
I'm sure Violet was
as flustered as any of us.
**[19:57] Ciel**
You think a Weston College prefect
tasked with governing the student body
**[20:02] Ciel**
would make such a grave mistake?
**[20:06] Agares**
An interesting question.
**[20:10] Ciel**
The fact remains that they were
not in Purple House that night.
**[20:16] Ciel**
This is a boarding school where
every minute of the day is tightly regulated,
**[20:19] Ciel**
yet no less than five students
have gone missing.
**[20:22] Ciel**
These are patently
abnormal circumstances.
**[20:26] Ciel**
* Based on my findings so far, I believe Derrick*
* and the others are no longer at Weston.*
**[20:32] Ciel**
* Best-case, they ran away.*
* Worst-case, they're dead.*
**[20:36] Ciel**
* The Head Master decreed*
* their House transfer.*
**[20:39] Ciel**
*The P4 run the student body.*
**[20:42] Ciel**
* It's clear they are all*
* covering something up.*
**[20:47] Ciel**
* So far, the P4 have dodged questions*
* with "the Head Master decided it,"*
**[20:50] Ciel**
* but now that they're all gathered together,*
* that won't wash anymore.*
**[20:55] Ciel**
* Gentlemen, I'm going to dig up*
* whatever you're hiding.*
**[21:00] Ciel**
I consider it likely that they've
been involved in a serious incident.
**[21:04] Ciel**
Head Master, let us call
on Scotland Yard for help.
**[21:10] Agares**
That won't be necessary.
**[21:14] Agares**
You see, they are here on school grounds.
**[21:19] Ciel**
What?
**[21:23] Agares**
Look.
**[21:48] Derrick**
Hello.
**[21:51] Derrick**
Ah, the scent of tea.
**[22:00] Ciel**
*Derrick Arden!*

**[00:00] Blue House athletes**
Hurrah for the second Sapphire Miracle!
**[00:04] Ciel**
I was just so happy Blue House won.
**[00:07] Ciel**
We proved that we have what it takes.
**[00:13] Ciel**
* Your Majesty, I swear to present you*
* with the truth behind all this.*
**[00:20] Ciel**
Salute Her Majesty the Queen!
**[00:28] Cheslock**
Leave it to Blue House!
**[00:34] Bluewer**
So bright my eyes are stinging.
**[00:38] McMillan**
Th-This is amazing!
**[00:40] McMillan**
You've been invited to a midnight tea party!
**[00:44] Bluewer**
Welcome, Phantomhive...
**[00:47] P4**

**[02:32] Sign**
Black Butler
**[02:32] Sign**
Public School Arc
**[03:22] Ciel**
*Derrick Arden?*
**[03:24] Ciel**
* He's all right?*
* But why the vanishing act, then?*
**[03:31] Cheslock**
All that fuss, and he was
here the whole time?
**[03:37] Greenhill**
A-Arden? Are you really...
**[03:42] Derrick**
Hello. Ah, the scent of tea.
**[03:55] Greenhill**
Arden...
**[04:00] Redmond**
You knave!
**[04:02] Redmond**
How dare you!
**[04:10] Ciel**
*Th-That wound...*
**[04:12] Ciel**
*It's the same one those corpses
on the* Campania *had.**
**[04:19] Ciel**
Come, Sebastian!
**[04:26] Bluewer**
Master Michaelis?
**[04:27] Ciel**
This is an order: capture Derrick!
**[04:32] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[04:45] Sebastian**
An English gentleman who exhibits
bad manners at a tea party
**[04:51] Sebastian**
isn't worth his salt.
**[04:57] Greenhill**
My arm...
**[04:58] Edward**
Greenhill!
**[05:00] Sebastian**
I'll treat you at once.
**[05:03] Sebastian**
He took quite a chunk out of you.
**[05:06] Sebastian**
Place your hand on top.
**[05:08] Edward**
R-Right.
**[05:10] Harcourt**
What is Master Michaelis doing here?
**[05:13] Clayton**
What the devil is going on?
**[05:16] Agres**
So his episodes are still violent, too.
**[05:21] Sebastian**
"Episodes"? May I ask what you mean?
**[05:27] Ciel**
Master Michaelis—or rather,
Sebastian—is my butler.
**[05:32] Harcourt**
Our teacher is a butler?!
**[05:34] Cheslock**
What?!
**[05:35] Ciel**
I entered this school with him
to investigate the disappearances.
**[05:41] Ciel**
This explains why Sebastian
couldn't track Derrick down, though.
**[05:46] Ciel**
He's been dead this whole time.
**[05:49] Harcourt**
Dead? What do you mean?
**[05:53] Harcourt**
He's right here, moving.
**[05:55] Derrick**
The scent of... tea...
**[06:04] Ciel**
And now, let's have
your explanation for all this...
**[06:10] Ciel**
Head Master.
**[06:13] Clayton**
Phantomhive, what are you—
**[06:15] Edward**
Clayton!
**[06:16] Edward**
Don't oppose Ciel—or rather,
the Earl Phantomhive.
**[06:22] Cheslock**
What's going on here, damn it?
**[06:25] Ciel**
I've seen humans
become like Derrick before.
**[06:30] Ciel**
What did you do to Derrick? Tell me!
**[06:42] Greenhill**
We...
**[06:45] Greenhill**
We only did it out of protectiveness.
**[06:48] Sebastian**
"Protectiveness"?
**[06:49] Greenhill**
Legend has it that Saint George,
the symbol of Weston,
**[06:55] Greenhill**
protected his country by defeating
the dragon that was menacing it.
**[07:02] Bluewer**
In other words, the only way to escape
a disaster is to eliminate the source.
**[07:08] Bluewer**
We merely did as he taught us.
**[07:11] Redmond**
That's why we...
**[07:17] P4**
...had to...
**[07:27] P4**
...kill Derrick.
**[07:37] (Flashback) Violet**
He's not breathing.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Greenhill**
It... It's all my fault. What have I done?
**[07:46] (Flashback) Redmond**
Breathe, Greenhill. This is for the best.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Redmond**
Actually, this was the only option.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Bluewer**
Yes. But what now? Greenhill will be accused
of a crime if we don't do something.
**[08:00] (Flashback) Redmond**
I have an idea. Will you trust me
to take care of this?
**[08:08] (Flashback) Redmond**
He says he'll make haste here tomorrow.
**[08:13] (Flashback) Violet**
Good.
**[08:15] (Flashback) Bluewer**
We'll be all right.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Redmond**
It'll all go off without a hitch.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Stoker**
Hullo! So you're the
Viscount Druitt's nephew?
**[08:40] (Flashback) Stoker**
Your facial features are
as healthy as your social status!
**[08:45] (Flashback) Stoker**
Phoenix!
**[08:47] (Flashback) Stoker**
My name is Ryan Stoker.
**[08:49] (Flashback) Stoker**
For public purposes,
I'm the director of Karnstein Hospital.
**[08:53] (Flashback) Redmond**
H-Hello.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Stoker**
And over there is my research partner.
**[09:04] Ciel**
D-Don't tell me...
**[09:10] Redmond**
So we signed a contract with...
**[09:14] Redmond**
...*him*.
**[09:16] Sebastian**
I see.
**[09:17] Sebastian**
This ties all the strands together.
**[09:21] Sebastian**
Derrick Arden, a student
whose body and soul both vanished.
**[09:26] Sebastian**
The Head Master,
a man able to escape my pursuit.
**[09:31] Sebastian**
The Aurora Society,
secret pursuers of human reanimation.
**[09:38] Sebastian**
All the little "happenings"
that seemed trifling at the time.
**[09:42] Sebastian**
A certain someone wove them
into this bizarre and complicated affair.
**[09:47] Sebastian**
It's you, isn't it?
**[09:51] Redmond**
The Head Master had nothing to do with it!
We prefects did it on our own—
**[09:55] Sebastian**
I didn't say the Head Master was behind it.
**[09:59] Sebastian**
Well? Shall we both drop this charade...
**[10:03] Sebastian**
and stop playing "educator"?
**[10:10] Undertaker**
Well, drat.
**[10:13] Undertaker**
It's rather a shame. I quite liked this job.
**[10:17] Undertaker**
Watching your exertions from the
grand tier has been most entertaining.
**[10:23] Undertaker**
They've provided me with prime laughter.
**[10:34] Ciel**
You're...
**[10:40] Ciel**
Undertaker!
**[10:47] Ciel**
*Undertaker.*
**[10:49] Ciel**
*This man is an ordinary undertaker by trade,*
**[10:52] Ciel**
* and one of the Phantomhive family*
* connections I inherited from my predecessor*
**[10:56] Ciel**
*in the "Queen's guard dog" role.*
**[10:59] Ciel**
* He used to be a useful, if slightly*
* troublesome, informant of mine.*
**[11:06] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Welcome, my lord.
**[11:09] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Is today the day you'll condescend
to enter one of my special coffins?
**[11:13] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Come on, my lord, give me prime laughter!
**[11:17] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Do that, and I'll tell you anything.
**[11:20] (Flashback) Sebastian**
I see there's no help for it.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Undertaker**
I'll tell you anything.
**[11:30] (Flashback) Ciel**
I knew she wouldn't be saved.
**[11:32] (Flashback) Ciel**
I knew, and I let her die.
**[11:35] (Flashback) Ciel**
My own flesh and blood...
**[11:36] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Are you having regrets?
**[11:38] (Flashback) Ciel**
No.
**[11:39] (Flashback) Ciel**
This is my family's lot in life.
**[11:42] (Flashback) Undertaker**
That ring is like a dog collar.
**[11:45] (Flashback) Undertaker**
It connects you to the Queen
by the chains of "fate."
**[11:49] (Flashback) Undertaker**
I pray you're never hung by that collar.
**[11:56] (Flashback) Sebastian**
They evidently have a secret greeting.
**[11:59] (Flashback) Ciel**
What's the greeting?
**[12:00] (Flashback) Sebastian**
It's...
**[12:02] (Flashback) Ciel/Sebastian**
Phoenix!
**[12:05] (Flashback) Druitt**
I shall show you an undead army
bowing down before me!
**[12:10] (Flashback) Druitt**
Huh?
**[12:11] (Flashback) Druitt**
*Non*!
**[12:21] (Flashback) Undertaker**
It's been a long time
since I laughed this much.
**[12:25] (Flashback) Undertaker**
How sad that the laughter
should leave this place.
**[12:33] (Flashback) Grell**
That yellow-green phosphorescence
can only mean...
**[12:36] (Flashback) Grell**
...a grim reaper!
**[12:38] (Flashback) Ciel**
The Undertaker is a grim reaper?
**[12:41] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Well, shall I hunt you now?
**[12:54] (Flashback) Undertaker**
My lord, I'll let you hold
on to that for a while.
**[12:57] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Take good care of it, won't you?
It's my treasure.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Ciel**
Wait, Undertaker!
**[13:03] (Flashback) Undertaker**
Until we meet again, my lord.
**[13:17] Undertaker**
Hello, my lord.
**[13:19] Undertaker**
You seem well after your misadventure
getting tossed into a winter sea.
**[13:24] Undertaker**
I was worried.
**[13:27] Undertaker**
Good to see you again.
**[13:29] Ciel**
Fine words coming from the one
who *caused* that misadventure!
**[13:34] Sebastian**
I wondered where you had ended up
after shuttering your business.
**[13:37] Sebastian**
To think you'd taken up a job at a *school*.
**[13:41] Undertaker**
I'm only a supply teacher.
**[13:44] Sebastian**
Good grief. Our "find the runaway"
assignment has certainly taken a turn.
**[13:50] Sebastian**
The four of you murdered Derrick, then asked
the Aurora Society to bring him back to life.
**[13:58] Sebastian**
What was it you wanted to protect so badly?
**[14:07] Bluewer**
He...
**[14:09] Bluewer**
Derrick Arden mustn't be allowed
to exist at our school.
**[14:14] Ciel**
What do you mean?
**[14:17] Bluewer**
I mean...
**[14:34] (Flashback) Agares**
I will now announce this year's prefects.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Agares**
For Scarlet Fox House, Edgar Redmond.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Agares**
For Sapphire Owl House, Lawrence Bluewer.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Agares**
For Green Lion House, Herman Greenhill.
**[14:54] (Flashback) Agares**
For Violet Wolf House, Gregory Violet.
**[15:15] (Flashback) Redmond**
We four...
**[15:17] (Flashback) Bluewer**
...as prefects of this historic institution...
**[15:20] (Flashback) Greenhill**
...vow to govern the student body with pride...
**[15:24] (Flashback) Violet**
...henceforth.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Redmond**
We've done it! We've done it at last!
**[15:57] (Flashback) Greenhill**
H-Here we go.
**[16:00] (Flashback) Redmond**
Right.
**[16:15] (Flashback) Greenhill**
After five years here,
we've successfully made prefect.
**[16:21] (Flashback) Redmond**
Yes.
**[16:25] (Flashback) Redmond**
Lawrence?
**[16:29] (Flashback) Bluewer**
I'm sorry.
**[16:36] (Flashback) Bluewer**
I don't have the words.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Redmond**
Bullying?
**[16:51] (Flashback) Greenhill**
Yes. We got an anonymous note.
**[16:55] (Flashback) Greenhill**
It asked us to keep a more vigilant eye out.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Bluewer**
Rule No. 5: "All students must
be equal before the Head Master."
**[17:04] (Flashback) Derrick**
We can't let this stand.
Please, let me do some patrols!
**[17:09] (Flashback) Redmond**
Excellent initiative, Derrick.
I'll leave it to you.
**[17:12] (Flashback) Derrick**
Right.
**[17:20] (Flashback) Bluewer**
He's a reliable support.
**[17:22] (Flashback) Greenhill**
Captain of his local cricket team.
**[17:25] (Flashback) Violet**
His needlework is at professional level.
**[17:28] (Flashback) Bluewer**
His reports are always highly regarded, too.
**[17:30] (Flashback) Redmond**
And he has keen poetic sensibilities.
**[17:34] Bluewer**
* A cheerful duke's son,*
* fairly brimming with talent.*
**[17:40] Bluewer**
*Derrick Arden's light shone brightly.*
**[17:44] Bluewer**
*And so we never noticed...*
**[17:51] Bluewer**
*...the profound shadow his light created.*
**[18:03] (Flashback) Redmond**
Going out after Lock Up
is against school rules.
**[18:06] (Flashback) Redmond**
And you were *drinking*?!
**[18:08] (Flashback) Derrick**
Disrupting school discipline is a stain
on both Weston and your own family name!
**[18:12] (Flashback) Student**
I-I'm sorry.
**[18:16] (Flashback) Redmond**
You get three Ys.
Have them to me by next week.
**[18:20] (Flashback) Student**
Right.
**[18:27] (Flashback) Redmond**
Say, have you made any progress
on the bullying investigation?
**[18:32] (Flashback) Derrick**
The fact is, I can't find
anything unusual going on.
**[18:36] (Flashback) Derrick**
Anonymous notes *are* often fake.
**[18:39] (Flashback) Redmond**
I see.
**[18:42] (Flashback) Derrick**
There were two notes today.
**[18:46] (Flashback) Derrick**
One asks for a larger water ration
to wash our faces in the morning.
**[18:49] (Flashback) Derrick**
The other one...
**[18:50] (Flashback) Derrick**
What? "A Poem for the Prefects"?
**[18:57] (Flashback) Derrick**
"At the shore of an uncorrupted Lake
**[19:00] (Flashback) Derrick**
the mighty Thor did stand,
torch at his side, and bend his ear
**[19:04] (Flashback) Derrick**
to the tune which the gracious disciple
did play on his misshapen pearl Lyre.
**[19:09] (Flashback) Derrick**
But a mischievous Pixie appeared
and cast his torch into the water—
**[19:14] (Flashback) Derrick**
and so the torch's flame went out
whilst the Lake brimmed over with stars.
**[19:20] (Flashback) Derrick**
In time this inspired the legend of
a beauteous Lake that healed men's hearts;
**[19:25] (Flashback) Derrick**
and yet the god, robbed of his Light,
could only wander in darkness."
**[19:32] (Flashback) Derrick**
A poem for the prefects, eh?
You four are truly objects of admiration.
**[19:42] (Flashback) Violet**
What's with the sudden summons?
**[19:46] (Flashback) Violet**
I'm *sleepy*.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Redmond**
That poem was a message for us.
**[19:52] (Flashback) Redmond**
Thor, the name of the god of thunder,
is the root of the word "Thursday."
**[19:58] (Flashback) Redmond**
The "gracious disciple" bit
refers to John the Apostle,
**[20:01] (Flashback) Redmond**
whose Hebrew name, Johanan,
means "God is gracious."
**[20:05] (Flashback) Redmond**
"Misshapen pearl Lyre"
is probably code for Baroque music,
**[20:10] (Flashback) Redmond**
a context in which Johanan or Johann
logically points to Johann Sebastian Bach.
**[20:16] (Flashback) Redmond**
There's a bust of Bach in the music room.
**[20:20] (Flashback) Redmond**
I think "the torch's flame went out"
is a reference to lights-out time.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Redmond**
That poem had a time and
place skilfully woven into it.
**[20:32] (Flashback) Redmond**
What's more, it was specifically
addressed to us, the prefects.
**[20:40] (Flashback) Greenhill**
You're claiming it was a request for us
**[20:43] (Flashback) Greenhill**
to come to the music room
on Thursday at lights-out?
**[20:48] (Flashback) Redmond**
Yes. It's an intricately written poem intended
to convey something to just the four of us.
**[20:55] (Flashback) Redmond**
It would be a brilliant work of art
on its poetic merits alone, though.
**[21:00] (Flashback) Bluewer**
I must say, I'm impressed you
discerned its true meaning.
**[21:05] (Flashback) Redmond**
It'll probably be easier for you
to see it in the lamplight.
**[21:10] (Flashback) Redmond**
At first glance,
it looks like it's all in black ink,
**[21:13] (Flashback) Redmond**
but look closely and the important words
are written in a dark blue.
**[21:17] (Flashback) Redmond**
Given that clue, anyone well-educated
in poetry would pick up on the message.
**[21:22] (Flashback) Redmond**
The one thing I don't understand, though,
is that "robbed of his Light" bit at the end.
**[21:29] (Flashback) Student A**
Come on, stand up!
**[21:34] (Flashback) Redmond**
What are you doing in here?!
**[21:47] (Flashback) Redmond**
D-Derrick?
**[21:57] Redmond**
*That's right. "Robbed of his Light" meant...*

Come, Sebastian!
**[00:10] Sebastian**
An English gentleman who exhibits
bad manners at a tea party
**[00:15] Sebastian**
isn't worth his salt.
**[00:18] Greenhill**
We only did it out of protectiveness.
**[00:24] Redmond**
That's why we...
**[00:26] P4**
...had to kill Derrick.
**[00:31] Ciel**
You're...
**[00:33] Ciel**

The four of you murdered Derrick, then asked
the Aurora Society to bring him back to life.

*had all been faked.*
**[01:15] Bluewer**
* The cricket, the needlework,*
* the reports, the poetry—all of it.*
**[01:22] Bluewer**
* By underhanded means, he'd robbed others*
* of their talents to make himself shine.*
**[01:29] Bluewer**
* He'd done so for all four years*
* he'd been at Weston.*
**[01:33] (Flashback) Bluewer**
All of you go back to your rooms.
**[01:35] (Flashback) Student**
Thank you so much.
**[01:40] (Flashback) Redmond**
I should have realised the truth
when you couldn't decipher that poem.
**[01:49] (Flashback) Derrick**
Sigh. The cat's out of the bag.

**[03:28] (Flashback) Derrick**
You know how I'm in line to be a duke?
**[03:33] (Flashback) Derrick**
Well, my parents say each generation
has to be a prefect here.
**[03:37] (Flashback) Derrick**
They won't let up about it.
**[03:40] (Flashback) Derrick**
The whole thing's a bore.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Derrick**
They made me come to
this stupid boarding school.
**[03:47] (Flashback) Greenhill**
You louse!
**[03:49] (Flashback) Derrick**
So you should really overlook
my little stress relief here.
**[03:53] (Flashback) Derrick**
My dear papa donates enough
to this school to cover it.
**[04:00] (Flashback) Greenhill**
Damn you to hell!
**[04:01] (Flashback) Greenhill**
I'll make sure the Lower Master
reports this to the Head Master!
**[04:05] (Flashback) Greenhill**
Prepare yourself for a punishment
that befits your crime!
**[04:12] (Flashback) Derrick**
Well, you heard him.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Redmond**
Lower Master Agares?!
**[04:22] (Flashback) Redmond**
What's this about? Why were you here?
**[04:25] (Flashback) Agares**
I understand the situation.
**[04:28] (Flashback) Agares**
Derrick Arden and his four accomplices
**[04:31] (Flashback) Agares**
get two Ys for going out after Lock Up.
**[04:36] (Flashback) Derrick**
We are all *ever* so sorry.
**[04:39] (Flashback) Redmond**
"Going out after Lock Up"?
**[04:41] (Flashback) Bluewer**
That's not it, sir.
They've been bullying students!
**[04:46] (Flashback) Greenhill**
Tell the Head Master tomorrow and—
**[04:48] (Flashback) Agares**
How rude this year's prefects are.
**[04:51] (Flashback) Agares**
You question me, the Lower Master?
**[04:54] (Flashback) Greenhill**
I... I didn't mean it that way...
**[04:57] (Flashback) Agares**
Good.
**[05:06] (Flashback) Agares**
You may all go back to your Houses.
**[05:09] Redmond**
* I see. So even the Lower Master*
* was in collusion with Derrick?*
**[05:14] Redmond**
*What should we do? How can we stop them?*
**[05:18] (Flashback) Derrick**
Sigh. What a downer.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Derrick**
Guess *I'll* be prefect next year, eh?
**[05:27] Greenhill**
*Unacceptable.*
**[05:35] Greenhill**
*As long as they're still here,*
**[05:40] Greenhill**
* the school's traditions will*
* keep rotting from the inside!*
**[05:46] Violet**
*That mustn't happen.*
**[05:49] Redmond & Bluewer**
*Because...*
**[05:53] Greenhill**
*...tradition is absolute!*
**[06:09] (Flashback) Violet**
He's not breathing.
**[06:11] (Flashback) Greenhill**
It... It's all my fault. What have I done?
**[06:18] (Flashback) Redmond**
Breathe, Greenhill. This is for the best.
**[06:22] (Flashback) Redmond**
Actually, this was the only option.
**[06:25] (Flashback) Bluewer**
Yes. But what now? Greenhill will be accused
of a crime if we don't do something.
**[06:32] (Flashback) Redmond**
I have an idea. Will you trust me
to take care of this?
**[06:35] (Flashback) Greenhill**
No. I can't let you chaps
share the blame for my crime.
**[06:41] (Flashback) Violet**
You're not the only prefect, Greenhill.
**[06:46] (Flashback) Bluewer**
That's right. The prefects
must protect the school.
**[06:50] (Flashback) Redmond**
I'll proudly share the burden of a crime
that was committed for that reason.
**[06:56] (Flashback) Greenhill**
You fellows...
**[06:58] (Flashback) P4 minus Greenhill**
All of this...
**[07:01] (Flashback) P4 minus Greenhill**
...is for Weston's sake.
**[07:23] (Flashback) Redmond**
Apparently, the Head Master
is on a round-the-world trip,
**[07:26] (Flashback) Redmond**
and won't be back until next autumn.
**[07:29] (Flashback) Bluewer**
That means we'll have to manage
this situation ourselves.
**[07:33] (Flashback) Greenhill**
Can we, do you think?
**[07:35] (Flashback) Redmond**
The reanimation seems to be going well.
I don't think we need to worry.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Violet**
I hope you're right.
**[07:44] (Flashback) Redmond**
We can protect this school.
**[07:53] Bluewer**
It was the only way we could
protect tradition and discipline.
**[07:58] Bluewer**
We don't wish to harm Weston's
good name by letting this go public.
**[08:03] Bluewer**
Surely you understand, Phantomhive?
**[08:09] Ciel**
You *killed* people,
and you want me to "understand"?
**[08:26] Undertaker**
Oh, this is *too* wonderful!
**[08:31] Undertaker**
You just paid me even more
than this job was worth!
**[08:42] Undertaker**
Truly, humans are wonderfully tragic,
**[08:48] Undertaker**
wonderfully ridiculous,
**[08:52] Undertaker**
and wonderfully interesting.
**[08:57] Sebastian**
How unexpected.
**[08:59] Sebastian**
For the first time,
we're in complete agreement.
**[09:05] Bluewer**
Weston is a prestigious school
that has produced
**[09:07] Bluewer**
the cream of English society
for generations.
**[09:11] Bluewer**
We cannot allow the traditions upheld
in the centuries since its founding
**[09:14] Bluewer**
to be tarnished on our watch.
**[09:18] Bluewer**
The history of Weston is
the history of England herself!
**[09:23] Ciel**
* It's a fine line between*
* education and brainwashing.*
**[09:25] Ciel**
*They might as well be slaves to "tradition."*
**[09:28] Ciel**
* After six years of that, debating*
* the matter is probably a waste of time.*
**[09:34] Ciel**
All right.
**[09:36] Ciel**
I've been investigating this
for a certain illustrious personage.
**[09:41] Ciel**
I can't stay silent about the truth
now that I've uncovered it.
**[09:45] Ciel**
But I'll request that your punishment
takes the circumstances into account.
**[09:52] Ciel**
That leaves you.
**[09:55] Ciel**
What are you after?
**[10:01] Undertaker**
Well, perhaps I'll tell you
for old times' sake.
**[10:05] Undertaker**
You did pay me well today, after all.
**[10:10] Ciel**
It didn't last long, but Derrick
was clearly conscious for a moment.
**[10:15] Ciel**
That's quite a change from
the last walking corpses I saw.
**[10:18] Ciel**
No, it's an evolution.
**[10:24] Undertaker**
I'm happy to hear you say so.
**[10:27] Undertaker**
That's right. Even the dead can evolve.
**[10:31] Undertaker**
They just need the
materials—the episodes—to do it.
**[10:36] Sebastian**
"Episodes"?
**[10:37] Sebastian**
Are you referring to
false memories you have created?
**[10:41] Sebastian**
As I recall, the mechanism
for creating your walking corpses
**[10:46] Sebastian**
was to splice false memories with
the Cinematic Records of the dead.
**[10:50] Undertaker**
Bzzt! You're close, though.
**[10:53] Undertaker**
It's nothing so slipshod this time.
**[10:56] Undertaker**
What's moving them now is
their yearning for the future.
**[11:03] Undertaker**
In a human's last moments, he replays
memories of the path he has walked.
**[11:08] Undertaker**
That's the Cinematic Record.
**[11:12] Undertaker**
At the same time, he yearns
for the path he *thought* he'd walk.
**[11:17] Undertaker**
His images of it are piecemeal,
but those fragments are the "episodes."
**[11:22] Undertaker**
What if we could draw
those episodes out of him?
**[11:26] Undertaker**
What if we could obtain thousands
of frames of episode footage?
**[11:30] Undertaker**
What if we stitched enough together to make
the total runtime longer than his Record?
**[11:35] Undertaker**
They'd be in another league
from my false memories.
**[11:39] Undertaker**
They'd be future memories.
**[11:42] Undertaker**
And what if they were
appended to his Record?
**[11:46] Undertaker**
Don't you think that would
create a walking corpse
**[11:49] Undertaker**
that was almost indistinguishable
from a human?
**[11:54] Undertaker**
Though I'm afraid
my success rate is low so far.
**[11:57] Undertaker**
It varies with the quantity and
quality of the episodes and such.
**[12:00] Ciel**
I don't understand. Why do that?
**[12:04] Ciel**
What's the point of resurrecting the dead?
**[12:07] Undertaker**
I want to see what comes
*after* their prescribed end, that's all.
**[12:12] Ciel**
After the end?
**[12:16] Undertaker**
None of you have ever wondered?
**[12:19] Undertaker**
You haven't wondered if
an even more entertaining plot awaits
**[12:23] Undertaker**
after the ending credits roll?
**[12:26] Sebastian**
That's something we don't agree on.
**[12:28] Sebastian**
The fact that death is
an inescapable and absolute ending
**[12:34] Sebastian**
is what makes it beautiful.
**[12:38] Undertaker**
That's all I can tell you
for what you've paid me.
**[12:42] Undertaker**
Now, I don't want anyone
inconvenient getting wind of me,
**[12:47] Undertaker**
so I'll take my leave.
**[12:49] Ciel**
You aren't getting away again.
**[12:51] Ciel**
Capture him, Sebastian!
**[12:53] Sebastian**
At once.
**[12:57] Sebastian**
I thought you might be one
of the dead, Master Agares.
**[13:03] Sebastian**
That must be what struck me as odd that day.
**[13:11] Undertaker**
Our friend there has a wealth of episodes.
He's my greatest masterpiece.
**[13:17] Undertaker**
For now.
**[13:23] Delinquent Zombie C**
Let's play cricket...
**[13:26] Delinquent Zombie B**
Christmas holidays...
**[13:28] Ciel**
Friends of Derrick's?
**[13:30] Edward**
Run!
**[13:32] Edward**
Out of the garden! Quick!
**[13:40] Harcourt**
M-My legs...
**[13:42] Delinquent Zombie C**
Let's play cricket.
**[13:46] Ciel**
Come on!
**[13:49] Undertaker**
You may be a Phantomhive,
but you're different from your predecessors.
**[13:54] Undertaker**
Fascinating.
**[13:55] Sebastian**
You don't seem concerned. Did you think
this would be enough to stop me?
**[14:02] Sebastian**
I see I'm being taken lightly.
**[14:07] Undertaker**
Not at all.
**[14:10] Undertaker**
It's a matter of having different goals.
**[14:19] Sebastian**
*Oh, no...*
**[15:04] Sebastian**
* It's no good. He's closer to*
* the young master than I am right now.*
**[15:10] Sebastian**
*In that case...*
**[15:14] Sebastian**
*Protecting my young master is the priority!*
**[15:17] Undertaker**
That's our butler.
**[15:22] Ciel**
Sebastian?
**[15:23] Undertaker**
Keep on protecting the earl
with that level of loyalty.
**[15:29] Undertaker**
Toodles!
**[15:33] Ciel**
Oi, Seba—
**[15:34] Sebastian**
Stand back.
**[15:34] Delinquent Zombie B**
Christmas hol—
**[15:37] Ciel**
Sebastian, why are you here with me?
**[15:39] Ciel**
I ordered you to capture him—
**[15:41] Sebastian**
According to our contract,
my highest priority should be your survival.
**[15:47] Sebastian**
I've gone to the trouble of raising you.
**[15:50] Sebastian**
I won't stand for anyone
snatching you away now.
**[15:57] Ciel**
O-Oi...
**[15:58] Sebastian**
I suggest we leave him unconscious for now.
**[16:02] Sebastian**
After all, the post-tea party
tidy-up isn't done yet.
**[16:11] Ciel**
Good grief.
**[16:16] Ciel**
How do I explain this to Her Majesty?
**[16:18] Sebastian**
Why not simply tell her the truth?
**[16:22] Sebastian**
"A former grim reaper with
perverted tastes is raising the dead."
**[16:27] Ciel**
There's no way she'll believe that.
**[16:29] Edward**
Ciel!
**[16:31] Edward**
Everyone got out safely.
**[16:34] Ciel**
Watch where you step.
**[16:37] Ciel**
We've finished up here, too.
**[16:38] Edward**
Right.
**[16:42] Edward**
Ciel...
**[16:44] Edward**
I'm frightened.
**[16:46] Edward**
If I'd stayed at this school
without knowing anything,
**[16:50] Edward**
maybe I would have
turned out like those prefects.
**[16:56] Edward**
I might have become someone who
mistakes the crime of murder for justice.
**[17:02] Ciel**
Don't worry.
**[17:04] Ciel**
If that thought can still frighten you,
**[17:07] Ciel**
you're still in your right mind.
**[17:10] Ciel**
Unlike me.
**[17:17] Ciel**
* Afterwards, I gave*
* a full account to the Queen.*
**[17:22] Ciel**
* The P4's punishment wasn't a gaol term,*
* but expulsion from Weston.*
**[17:32] Ciel**
*It wasn't out of kindness.*
**[17:34] Ciel**
* One of the Queen's relatives was dead,*
* and his own misdeeds were the cause.*
**[17:38] Ciel**
* She was lenient in order*
* to suppress a major scandal.*
**[17:42] Ciel**
* Still, for boys who chose*

**[17:47] Ciel**
* the punishment may*
* have been worse than death.*
**[17:51] Ciel**
* The official story is that Derrick and*
* the others died in a boating accident.*
**[17:55] Ciel**
*Their bodies were buried in secret.*
**[18:00] Ciel**
* Everyone involved was*
* strictly ordered to keep mum,*
**[18:03] Ciel**
* and to all appearances,*
* life at Weston goes on unchanged.*
**[18:18] McMillan**
Look, it's the new P4!
**[18:21] McMillan**
Ah, how I look up to them!
**[18:52] Victoria**
Reanimating the dead?
**[18:55] Ciel**
I know it's hard to believe.
**[18:59] Victoria**
I would never doubt your word, dear.
**[19:05] Ciel**
The technology to resurrect the dead
and control them is something to fear.
**[19:11] Ciel**
It might eventually
become a threat to England.
**[19:15] Victoria**
Dear boy, keep sniffing around
with that adorable nose of yours.
**[19:21] Ciel**
Of course, ma'am. I'll report to you
immediately when I learn more.
**[19:30] Sebastian**
You've worked hard today.
**[19:33] Ciel**
You can say that again. I just want
to go home and eat something sweet.
**[19:37] Sebastian**
I'll prepare something
as soon as we get back.
**[19:40] Sebastian**
Ah, that's right. Someone delivered this
as we were about to leave.
**[19:45] Sebastian**
It may pass the time
until we reach the manor.
**[19:48] (Flashback) McMillan**
Take care! I'll send you the photograph!
**[19:53] Ciel**
I don't want it.
**[19:55] Ciel**
Throw it away.
**[19:56] Sebastian**
My, are you sure you want to throw away
a letter from a school chum without reading it?
**[20:03] Ciel**
Yes. I'm never going back
to that stifling place again.
**[20:09] Sebastian**
Is that so?
**[20:16] Sebastian**
And what is all this?
**[20:19] Finnian**
Young master! Sebastian!
**[20:21] Finnian**
Welcome home!
**[20:23] Snake**
"Welcome home!" ...says Emily.
**[20:26] Baldroy**
A fence came down on old Sam's farm.
**[20:33] Mey-Rin**
No eating that, no!
**[20:35] Snake**
"That jerk made for the
herb garden!" ...says Wilde.
**[20:39] Finnian**
No! Stop!
**[20:43] Sebastian**
What is it, my lord?
**[20:44] Ciel**
Oh, I was just thinking that here,
grass is simply grass.
**[20:46] Snake**
"Behave yourself!" ...says Wilde.
**[20:46] Finnian**
I got it!
**[20:50] Ciel**
Hurry and take care of this,
and then, it's afternoon tea.
**[20:54] Sebastian**
Yes, my lord.
**[21:00] Sebastian**
What shall I make today?
**[21:05] Sebastian**
My, this photo came out rather well.
**[21:23] Sebastian**
Now, then...
**[21:25] Sebastian**
I think I'll bake him
an exceptionally sweet cake.
**[21:31] Victoria**
John.
**[21:33] Victoria**
These walking corpses
that feel no pain or fear...
**[21:37] Victoria**
They scare me.
**[21:41] Victoria**
What if I am attacked by such a monster?
**[21:45] John**
I vow to protect you in
Prince Albert's place, ma'am.
**[21:51] Victoria**
Thank you.
**[21:52] Victoria**
But do you think as I do?
**[21:56] Victoria**
If such a monster were to become our ally,
**[22:01] Victoria**
that would be even lovelier.

They'd like you to
come inspect their display.
**[03:06] Ciel**
Oh, that.
**[03:09] Ciel**
All right. I'll go today.
**[03:11] Sebastian**
Very good, my lord.
**[03:14] Sebastian**
In that case, I have a small request.
**[03:17] Ciel**
Oh?
**[03:19] Sebastian**
I'd like to update the prescription
for Mey-Rin's spectacles,
**[03:23] Sebastian**
and replace Finny's hat—the patch
on it stands out like a sore thumb.
**[03:27] Ciel**
That's fine. We'll bring them on today's—
**[03:31] Soma**
Ciel!
**[03:33] Soma**
What's the meaning of this?!
**[03:36] Soma**
How could you quit school
without telling me?
**[03:40] Ciel**
Y-You should stay until you graduate.
**[03:43] Ciel**
You can learn about British society.
**[03:46] Soma**
It's boring without you.
**[03:48] Soma**
And the lessons are too easy.
**[03:52] Soma**
I learned all those things as a child.
**[03:55] Ciel**
Th-That's incredible to me.
**[03:58] Sebastian**
I suppose you *are* royalty.
**[04:00] Sebastian**
You had special tutoring, I take it?
**[04:02] Agni**
Indeed he did!
**[04:03] Agni**
Prince Soma's brilliance made him
the court tutors' pride and joy!
**[04:07] Ciel**
You're here, too, Agni?
**[04:09] Soma**
Ciel, are you listening to me?
**[04:12] Agni**
Yes. *Namaste* *jī*,
Lord Phantomhive and Sebastian.
**[04:16] Agni**
It's been too long since
I've had the pleasure.
**[04:18] Sebastian**
Too long?
**[04:20] Sebastian**
Didn't we see each other
recently at Weston College?
**[04:26] Sebastian**
Right after Prince Soma was admitted.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Soma**
I'm bored! I'll go visit Ciel!
**[04:39] Agni**
* No, Your Highness!*
* Going out at night is against school rules!*
**[04:43] Agni**
*It's only your first day!*
**[04:46] Agni**
* But I was ordered to stay at home.*
* I can't just walk up to him...*
**[04:50] Agni**
*But...*
**[04:52] (Flashback) Soma**
What's that?
**[04:53] (Flashback) Soma**
This is the wrong way!
**[04:56] Agni**
*P-Prince Soma!*
**[05:00] Sebastian**
Don't you remember?
**[05:01] Agni**
No, I... That's...
**[05:05] Sebastian**
As I recall, you came to
the cricket tournament as well.
**[05:07] Agni**
What?
**[05:08] Sebastian**
When I went to deliver
the special pie to Red House...
**[05:13] (Flashback) Red House Boy A**
This will be an easy win for us.
**[05:16] (Flashback) Red House Boy B**
We knew that going into it.
**[05:18] (Flashback) Red House Boy C**
Stop chatting and get these ready to—
**[05:21] (Flashback) Red House Boy C**
Hmm? Where did that meat pie go?
**[05:24] (Flashback) Red House Boy B**
Maybe someone left it behind?
**[05:25] (Flashback) Red House Boy C**
No, I don't think so.
**[05:28] Agni**
*Th-This is horrible.*
**[05:32] Agni**
* I feared my prince would grieve*
* at being unable to eat the beef pie,*
**[05:37] Agni**
*so I secretly baked him a chicken pie...*
**[05:40] Agni**
*...but Sebastian stole a march on me!*
**[05:45] Agni**
* To think he's being considerate of Prince Soma*
* even though they are currently foes...*
**[05:49] Agni**
*Only you, Sebastian!*
**[05:53] Agni**
* Still, I baked it,*
* so I want my prince to eat it!*
**[05:58] Agni**
*I'm sure he'll request the largest slice.*
**[06:02] Agni**
*O goddess, please forgive my selfishness!*
**[06:07] (Flashback) Soma**
Give me the biggest slice!
**[06:10] Sebastian**
Don't you remember?
**[06:10] Agni**
No, I...
**[06:13] Agni**
S-S-S-Sebastian, don't—
**[06:16] Ciel**
That's why he stayed fit as a fiddle?
**[06:19] Soma**
Agni!
**[06:24] Soma**
You disobeyed me?!
**[06:27] Agni**
I'm sorry, Your Highness!
I was just so worried!
**[06:31] Soma**
You trust me so little?!
**[06:35] Sebastian**
Well, we're off on a little trip.
**[06:39] Ciel**
Look after the place for us.
**[06:42] Soma**
Ciel! Wait!
**[06:57] Finnian**
Wow!
**[06:59] Finnian**
What an enormous clock!
**[07:02] Baldroy**
It's called Big Ben.
**[07:06] Finnian**
It looks strong!
**[07:11] Ciel**
I wonder when that bridge will be completed.
**[07:14] Sebastian**
Tower Bridge?
**[07:16] Sebastian**
Planning started around
the time you were born,
**[07:19] Sebastian**
and construction began three years ago.
**[07:22] Sebastian**
I imagine it will be a while
before it's finished.
**[07:26] Sebastian**
Humans are so unhurried
for creatures with such short lives.
**[07:31] Ciel**
Hmph.
**[07:32] Ciel**
Unlike demons, we have to deal with tricky
things like contracts and abutments and so on.
**[07:42] Optical Shop Owner**
What do you think?
**[07:45] Finnian**
How do I look?
**[07:47] Baldroy**
Wanna try some on, young master?
**[07:49] Ciel**
The eyepatch is more than enough for me.
**[07:51] Snake**
"Spectacles make the world spin
in a funny way!" ...says Goethe.
**[07:58] Mey-Rin**
I can see very well, yes!
**[08:01] Sebastian**
We'll take those, then.
**[08:04] Sebastian**
I trust that's all right?
**[08:09] Mey-Rin**
Seeing *too* well isn't safer, no!
**[08:19] Mey-Rin**
These are cute, yes!
**[08:22] Shopkeeper**
Looking for anything in particular?
**[08:24] Finnian**
I'd like a straw hat
that's as cool as Big Ben!
**[08:27] Sebastian**
An ordinary one will be fine.
**[08:29] Female Employee**
It suits you very well.
**[08:41] Ciel**
Enough!
**[08:45] Ciel**
While we're here, do you two want anything?
**[08:55] Bag Shop Lady**
I believe this would be just the thing.
**[08:58] Bag Shop Lady**
It's made of bridle leather,
which is quite durable,
**[09:02] Bag Shop Lady**
so you should be able
to use it for a long time.
**[09:06] Ciel**
You really want one that large?
**[09:09] Snake**
"This one is big enough to carry
everyone with me." ...says Wordsworth.
**[09:20] Sebastian**
About Baldo's request...
**[09:23] Ciel**
Does he even read books?
**[09:25] Baldroy**
Young master!
**[09:27] Baldroy**
Can I ask for this?
**[09:29] Sebastian**
No.
**[09:30] Baldroy**
Darn.
**[09:40] Ciel**
A historical novel, eh?
**[09:42] Sebastian**
Well, well.
**[09:45] Sebastian**
It's a book by our friend, Master Arthur.
**[09:49] Baldroy**
Who's "Master Arthur"?
**[09:51] Mey-Rin**
The eye doctor, no?
**[09:55] Mey-Rin**
The one from that stormy night.
**[09:59] Baldroy**
Oh, from the serial murders!
**[10:03] Sebastian**
I see Master Arthur is getting
along fine with his work.
**[10:07] Ciel**
He could write a historical novel anytime.
**[10:10] Ciel**
I think he should be writing
detective novels now instead.
**[10:15] Sebastian**
And yet, you intend to buy it, I see.
**[10:19] Ciel**
To pass the time.
**[10:21] Sebastian**
Very good, my lord.
**[10:26] Sebastian**
Young master, you'll spoil
your supper if you eat that now.
**[10:30] Ciel**
This is market research.
**[10:34] Ciel**
Baldo.
**[10:35] Baldroy**
Yeah?
**[10:36] Ciel**
Here.
**[10:39] Baldroy**
Candy?
**[10:41] Ciel**
It wouldn't do to leave you
as the odd man out.
**[10:44] Ciel**
You'll ruin your sense of taste
if you keep smoking so much.
**[10:48] Ciel**
You're a chef, aren't you?
**[10:52] Baldroy**
Yessir! Thank you!
**[10:58] Ciel**
Right, that just leaves Harrods.
**[11:01] Sebastian**
Forgive me, my lord,
but may we make one more stop first?
**[11:07] Ciel**
Where?
**[11:09] Sebastian**
Somerset House.
**[11:13] Mey-Rin**
What's this place?
**[11:14] Baldroy**
Apparently, there's a lot of government offices
here, like the Register and the tax people.
**[11:20] Finnian**
Huh.
**[11:26] Sebastian**
My apologies for the wait.
**[11:28] Ciel**
Well? What was this for?
**[11:33] Sebastian**
This, my lord.
**[11:36] Ciel**
That's Undertaker's mourning jewellery!
**[11:42] Sebastian**
Yes. I thought it might offer clues
about him, so I've been looking into it.
**[11:49] Sebastian**
The deceased's name and date of death
are incorporated into each piece.
**[11:54] Sebastian**
The hallmarks on the back
indicate where they were made.
**[11:58] Sebastian**
The General Register Office at
Somerset House houses the certificates
**[12:02] Sebastian**
for all deaths in England and Wales.
**[12:04] Sebastian**
I've put all of those pieces
of information together.
**[12:08] Sebastian**
Here are the seven death certificates
that go with each locket of hair.
**[12:14] Sebastian**
My investigation didn't reveal any
connection between the seven deceased,
**[12:19] Sebastian**
but one of the names caught my attention.
**[12:24] Ciel**
My God...
**[12:25] Ciel**
Claudia Phantomhive?!
**[12:29] Ciel**
I don't know much beyond her name,
but she was my grandmother.
**[12:33] Sebastian**
From his possession of her hair,
**[12:36] Sebastian**
I believe we can infer that Undertaker
has been involved with the Phantomhives
**[12:39] Sebastian**
since even before your predecessor's time.
**[12:43] Ciel**
The initial "P" is nothing uncommon,
so I never spared it a thought.
**[12:50] Ciel**
I never imagined it stood for Phantomhive.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Undertaker**
It's my treasure.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Undertaker**
I was certain you'd protect the earl for me.
**[13:12] Ciel**
Undertaker...
**[13:15] Ciel**
What was his relationship
to the Phantomhives?
**[13:28] Sales Girl A**
We have new Funtom Company goods!
**[13:32] Sales Girl B**
Come sample this new perfume
for young ladies!
**[13:35] Sales Girl B**
Please, take a sample!
**[13:38] Finnian**
Yay!
**[13:39] Ciel**
Don't just pass those out indiscriminately!
**[13:42] Ciel**
This is a product for young ladies, you know.
**[13:47] Sebastian**
I'll give the person in charge a talking-to.
**[13:51] Sebastian**
But my lord...
**[13:53] Sebastian**
Couldn't the designers have done
a bit better with that mascot character?
**[14:00] Ciel**
Funtom Company has
a different icon for each line.
**[14:04] Ciel**
We've already used cats and rabbits, so...
**[14:08] Sebastian**
So to capture the "young lady" image,
you went with a unicorn?
**[14:12] Ciel**
Don't. Lizzie's already cross with me about it.
**[14:16] (Flashback) Elizabeth**
It's not cute!
**[14:18] Sebastian**
While I applaud your well-timed entry into
the fast-growing market of ladies' goods,
**[14:24] Sebastian**
it seems that market data
and product quality
**[14:27] Sebastian**
weren't quite enough to help
you capture maidens' hearts.
**[14:32] Ciel**
Quiet, you! And stop grinning! If I come up
with a more effective marketing strategy—
**[14:39] Baldroy**
Wh-What was that?
**[14:41] Baldroy**
Oi! Where are you going?
**[14:43] Sebastian**
Take care of the young master.
***SIGN*** What happened?
***SIGN*** The horse suddenly bolted!
***SIGN*** They aren't coming out.
***SIGN*** Are they all right?
***SIGN*** Someone pull the passengers out!
**[14:55] Sebastian**
Are you all right?
**[15:00] Sebastian**
Why, if it isn't Miss Irene Diaz.
Good afternoon.
**[15:05] Sebastian**
It was a pleasure to serve
you at our dinner party.
**[15:10] Irene**
It's you!
**[15:15] Julius**
C-Could we postpone the small talk?
**[15:19] Irene**
Are you all right?
**[15:20] Sebastian**
Who is this?
**[15:22] Julius**
Ow...
**[15:24] Julius**
Julius Pittman. I perform in the Haymarket.
**[15:31] Sebastian**
Ah! I see.
**[15:34] Sebastian**
If I may, weren't you on your way somewhere?
**[15:38] Irene**
Yes! I'll never make curtain now.
**[15:41] Irene**
And if the public found out I was
with a man from a rival opera house...
**[15:50] Sebastian**
I have an excellent idea.
**[15:58] Owner**
Still no sign of Irene?!
**[16:00] Owner**
We'll have to call off the show at this rate.
**[16:03] Owner**
And on a day when so many
of our sponsors are here!
**[16:06] Subordinate**
Please stay calm, sir! We'll do what
we can to delay Juliet's appearance—
**[16:11] Owner**
It's still only a matter of time until—
**[16:16] Owner**
What in blazes is *that*?!
**[16:28] Mercutio**
Come on now.
We've already danced three times
**[16:32] Mercutio**
What now, Romeo?
**[16:34] Romeo**
Don't ask me.
**[16:35] Other Cast Member**
We're about to lose the audience.
**[16:40] Romeo**
*Hurry up, Irene!*
**[16:43] Male Cast Member**
O-Oi!
**[16:44] Male Cast Member**
What's that?
**[16:47] Mercutio**
A bird?
**[16:48] Male Audience Member**
A fairy?
**[16:51] Romeo**
Nay!
**[17:04] Romeo**
'Tis... 'Tis Juliet!
**[17:10] Female Audience Member A**
Cards?
**[17:11] Female Audience Member B**
Lily of the valley?
**[17:14] Female Audience Member C**
What a lovely scent!
**[17:16] Female Audience Member D**
Such wonderful stage direction!
**[17:19] Irene**
Forgive my tardiness.
**[17:22] Irene**
I am Capulet's daughter, Juliet.
**[17:29] Romeo**
Ah, what a sweet scent!
**[17:33] Romeo**
O beauty with a unicorn for her attendant...
**[17:37] Romeo**
thou art a goddess!
**[17:43] Irene**
Thank you for bringing me here...
**[17:48] Irene**
...kind unicorn.
**[17:55] Cell**
Where the devil did he go?
**[17:57] Finnian**
He's taking so long.
**[18:03] Female Customers**
There it is!
**[18:05] Female Customers**
One of Funtom's new perfumes, please!
**[18:07] Female Customers**
Me, too!
**[18:07] Ciel**
What's happening?
**[18:09] Finnian**
I don't know!
**[18:14] Ciel**
Sebastian!
**[18:17] Sebastian**
What a pitiful cry that was.
**[18:19] Ciel**
Where have you been?
**[18:23] Ciel**
Or rather, why are you dressed like that?
**[18:28] Sebastian**
I did a little promotional work.
**[18:30] Ciel**
What?
**[18:31] Sebastian**
When we heard the scream earlier,
I thought I recognized the voice.
**[18:36] Sebastian**
It was Irene Diaz.
**[18:38] Sebastian**
I asked for a small favour
in return for my services.
**[18:42] Ciel**
That's what you were doing?
**[18:46] Sebastian**
A Phantomhive butler...
**[18:49] Sebastian**
who can't double the sales of
a new line isn't worth his salt.
**[18:57] Ciel**
Well, this does spare me
unnecessary advertising expenses.
**[19:02] Ciel**
Though I wouldn't have expected
a little publicity from an opera star
**[19:06] Ciel**
to be so effective...
**[19:09] Sebastian**
The general public is
easily swayed, young master.
**[19:18] Ciel**
Therefore...
**[19:23] Ciel**
I engaged Irene's services
for this advertisement.
**[19:26] Sebastian**
I applaud your avarice, young master.
**[21:35] Hunter A**
Blast! He's gone into the woods.
**[21:37] Hunter B**
The hunt is more fun when
they give us a bit of a chase.
**[21:42] Hunter B**
Let's go.
**[21:43] Hunter A**
Are you mad? Isn't this...
**[21:48] Hunter A**
...the haunted wood?
**[21:52] Hunter B**
Surely you...
**[21:53] Hunter B**
don't believe that nonsense?
**[21:54] Hunter A**
Of course not!
**[22:27] Crone**
Get out!
**[22:28] Crone**
Ah!
**[22:31] Crone**
These woods are guarded by werewolves!
**[22:36] Crone**
You'll be cursed if they discover you!
**[22:42] Hunter A**
Who is that crone?
**[22:44] Hunter A**
Who knows. Let's hurry on.
**[22:46] Hunter B**
R-Right...
**[22:48] Crone**
You fools!
**[22:58] Hunter A**
Ah, there he is!
**[23:00] Hunter B**
Where did the fox go?
**[23:05] Hunter A**
Why are they barking?

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.

**[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.

This is the Emerald Castle.

**[02:13] Finnian**
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**

**[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.

A-A werewolf?
**[02:22] Sebastian**
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...*

Young master!

**[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
be serving as Fräulein Sullivan's butler.
**[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

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.*

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.

Well now.

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.
**[21:26] Victoria**

**[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.
**[03:25] Sign**
Black Butler
**[03:27] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[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

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.

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.
**[08:43] Sign**
Black Butler
**[08:45] Sign**
Emerald Witch Arc
**[09:57] Ciel**
"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.
**[19:34] Ludger**
Anne Drewanz. Born March 25, 1864.
**[19:41] Ludger**
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.

**[01:55] Sebastian**
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.

**[05:17] Grete**
*What?*
**[05:31] Grete**
*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**
*Shit, they have a sniper?*
**[06:01] 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**
You're the one I can trust the least.

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**

**[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!

Emerald Witch Arc
**[02:03] Sullivan**
Here I am.
**[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**
Please make your complaints in English.
**[04:34] Sebastian**
I'm willing to hear you out if you do.
**[04:37] Sign**
Words... Dictionary...
**[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?
