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.

    "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
    present rather than a distant time
[03:24] ---
    Want to end like this, cloaked
[03:30] ---
    But the night ignores that 
    wish and brings morning
[03:37] ---
    With your gentle,
    passionate, and dastardly kiss
[03:44] ---
     Paint this final night
[03:47] ---
    The moon illuminates us
[04:02] ---
    "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.

[00:29] ---
    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.

[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 naïve 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!

    "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] ---

    Hey, I found the first villager!

    Stop the carriage, Tanaka!

    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!

[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.
[24:21] ---
    One, two, three...

[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...!
[10:36] ---
    --Angela...!
[10:37] ---
    --Angela...!
[10:38] ---
    --Angela...!
[10:38] ---
    --Angela...!
[10:40] ---
    Angela!
[10:43] ---
    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] ---
    "Next Time"  "His Butler, On Ice"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.

[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] ---

    "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!
[15:05] ---
    To-Die list, number 493:

    butler and puppeteer to
    the house of Mandalay,

    Drossel Keinz.

    This is...

    Lizzie!
[16:01] ---
    Lizzie is definitely in that mansion.
[16:05] ---
    Goodness, what a delightful estate.
[16:11] ---
    This man killed Madam Red.
[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.
[16:50] ---
    Suddenly my Fired-Up Meter is
    maxed out! I'm deadly serious!☆

    The Hope diamond?

    It couldn't be!

    Was it a doll after all?
[18:59] ---
    ♪ Wood and clay will wash away,

[19:09] ---
    This doll was a failure.
[19:14] ---
    So I thought to myself:

    "I must make them much, much stronger."
[19:24] ---

    He disappeared after the fire.

    Young master,
[03:19] ---
    you told me you would be taking

[03:23] ---
    Was that "business" to dotingly

    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] ---

[00:53] ---
    I go where your cool fingers beckon me
[00:58] ---
    I am like troublesome ice after the melt
[01:05] ---
    You gently scoop me up to your
    mouth and play with my upper lip
[01:13] ---
    Still, I search for a form of love
[01:19] ---
    The dry eyes that shape the
    present rather than a distant time
[01:25] ---
    Want to end like this, cloaked
[01:31] ---
    But the night ignores that 
    wish and brings morning
[01:38] ---
    With your gentle,
    passionate, and dastardly kiss
[01:45] ---
     Paint this final night
[01:48] ---
    The moon illuminates us
[02:03] ---
    "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] ---

[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] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.

[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] ---
    Next time on Black Butler: "His Butler,
    In an Isolated Castle."
[24:26] ---
    "Next Time"  "His Butler,
    In an Isolated Castle"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.

    "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] ---
    and keep walking.

    Next week's Black Butler
[24:06] ---
    includes scenes you may not
    wish to watch with your family.
[24:11] ---
    It could create a bit of an awkward
    atmosphere in your drawing room.
[24:14] ---
    If this should happen, I believe a
    coughing fit could be very effective.
[24:18] ---
    I highly recommend it.
[24:24] ---
    Next time on Black Butler: 
    "His Butler, Offering."
[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Offering"
[24:28] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.

[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."
[24:26] ---
    "Next Time"  "His Butler, Transmitted"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.

[02:53] ---
    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.

    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.
[24:21] ---

    They say there was a time long ago

    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.

[24:04] ---
    Goodness, you say you want 
    to know about my past?
[24:07] ---
    It's not a very interesting story,
    but if you insist...
[24:11] ---
    I served another master
    before my current young master.
[24:15] ---
    That master was-- oh, dear!
[24:17] ---
    That's all for today. Visit 
    our website to hear more.
[24:20] ---
    Not really; I've just always
    wanted to say that. Please excuse me.

[00:21] ---
    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] ---

    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.

    "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!

    The cry of a soulless beast echoes
    through the burning streets of London.
[24:08] ---
    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.
[24:19] ---
    I shall humbly plunge you
[24:21] ---
    into a deep, fathomless, soothing darkness.

[00:12] ---
    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...

[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

    I didn't finish off the Queen.

    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!

    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?

    Look, kid, I'm busy, so

    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] ---
    everyonehas 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...

    "On the night of the third
    anniversary of Funtom's founding,
[00:15] ---
    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...

    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
[01:27] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[01:37] ---
    "Black Butler II"
[01:42] ---
    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"
[02:29] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away
[02:37] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[02:47] ---
    "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] ---
    How do I live without you?
[21:56] ---
    Lock me up, and only me
[22:03] ---
    Within the sky of yourself
[22:11] ---
    I mourn that I can't go in search
[22:17] ---
    Of that blue sky I once saw
[22:25] ---
    But everyone is in the sky
[22:32] ---
    In the cage of freedom
[22:39] ---
    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.

    I can hear water.
[00:15] ---
    I can feel light hitting my eyelids...
[00:18] ---
    It's the summer sunshine.
[00:27] ---
    Am I dreaming?
[00:32] ---
    The reflection you see
    in the spring of dreams
[00:34] ---
    is the next chapter of the story.
[00:37] ---
    A brilliant golden afternoon.
[00:40] ---
    What would I see if I woke up?
[00:48] ---
    Open your eyes, young master.
[00:54] ---
    Sebastian...
[00:57] ---
    You slept well.
[01:14] ---
    Young master, we are almost there.
[01:18] ---
    It's time to work.

    "Solo Butler"
[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!

    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!

[23:14] ---
    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?
[24:04] ---
    I just saw a flash of red
    out of the corner of my eye.
[24:08] ---
    I have a hideous foreboding.
[24:10] ---
    Ah, is this your first time
    seeing that, young master?
[24:14] ---
    If your eyes happen to meet,
[24:16] ---
    don't break eye contact;
    just back away slowly
[24:18] ---
    and call out from a safe distance,
    "Say, have you gained weight?"
[24:24] ---
    Next time: "Wench Butler."
[24:26] ---
    A Phantomhive butler

[00:07] ---
    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!
[00:29] ---
    The rondo ends in death throes!
[00:39] ---
    Regret gives off the scent of flames!
[00:46] ---
    E-Ellen!
[00:51] ---
    Ellen!
[01:00] ---
    Ellen!
[01:09] ---
    Ellen...!
[01:15] ---
    There we are, there we are, there we are!
[01:18] ---
    Death in all its fiery finery!☆
[01:24] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away
[01:32] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[01:39] ---
    "Black Butler II"
[01:47] ---
    I run up to you from
    behind asking questions
[01:50] ---
    The reason I never wavered,
    no matter what the future looked like
[01:57] ---
    Was because I didn't want to
    forget what I believed in anymore
[02:03] ---
    My habit of averting my eyes, my
    vague answers, and my not-funny lies--
[02:11] ---
    If you're not by my side,
    their very meaning blurs
[02:18] ---
    Even if a never-ending
    sorrow steals you away
[02:26] ---
    Don't forget the days when we
    couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"
[02:34] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away
[02:42] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[02:51] ---
    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

[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.

[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.

[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] ---

    Young master,
[24:08] ---
    you've finally found the ones
    who deserve your vengeance.
[24:13] ---
    Let your soul boil with
    hatred--and now, let us dance.
[24:18] ---
    The Dance of Death, the Danse Macabre.
[24:22] ---
    Next time: "Deathly Butler."
[24:25] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who won't 
    revel ever in a party booby trap
[24:28] ---
    "Next Time: Deathly Butler"
[24:28] ---
    isn't worth his salt atlas.

[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.

    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...
[24:26] ---
    "Next Episode: Zero Butler"
[24:28] ---
    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] ---

    "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'llnever 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!
[22:40] ---
    Nemuru anata wa kanashisou de

[24:04] ---
    The foolish demons wander lost
    in the labyrinth of a distorted heart
[24:08] ---
    filled with the suffocating scent of roses.
[24:11] ---
    Awaiting them at the end is
    a silverwork treasure chest.
[24:15] ---
    My pathetic lord, sleeping all curled up.
[24:19] ---
    Ah, the alarm is ringing.
[24:21] ---
    I must go wake him up at once.
[24:24] ---
    Next time: "Crossroads Butler."
[24:27] ---
    Phantomhive butlers...
[24:29] ---
    "Next Episode: Crossroads Butler"
[24:29] ---
    ...do you want to go to New York?

[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!
[15:57] ---
    Ciel in Wonderland.
[16:02] ---
    Ciel in Wonderland.
[16:07] ---
    "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?
[24:05] ---
    What the devil is this?!
[24:08] ---
    Find out in Part II.
[24:16] ---
    Advice from a mysterious Caterpillar,
    a mushroom that toys with mind and body,
[24:21] ---
    a reunion with the Cheshire-Cat,
[24:23] ---
    and then the Hatter's mad tea
    beckons Alice to a sweet interlude.
[24:29] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "Ciel in Wonderland Part II."
[24:33] ---
    You see, I am merely
    one hell of a White Rabbit.

    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] ---

    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,

    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.

    We'll also provide a receipt.

[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] ---

[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.

    I leave the rest to you, butler.
[26:16] ---

    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.

[12:17] ---
    Ciel in Wonderland.
[12:22] ---
    "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.

    You shall cut through the

[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.

[00:06] Ciel
    Public school: an institution
    that prizes tradition and discipline.
[00:11] Ciel
    The drudge system: a "brotherly"
    relationship that exists only here.
[00:16] Ciel
    The Head Master: an absolute authority
    who never shows himself.
[00:21] Ciel
    The prefects: four boys who reign
    over four feuding boarding houses.
[00:28] Ciel
    Stymied by Weston's unique rules,
    my investigation has made no progress.
[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.

    Ah, so this is "school"!
[00:04] Ciel
    I'd like you to observe him carefully
     and tell me about him.
[00:07] Ciel
    Particularly about what he's like
    when he's in Red House, where I can't go.
[00:11] Soma
    He's...
[00:12] Ciel
    You haven't done a single thing
    that Redmond has asked of you.
[00:15] Ciel
    You did not organise any data, did not
    iron his things, did not shine his shoes...
[00:19] Ciel
    You did not even make his tea treats.
[00:21] Ciel
    All of your "talents" are a sham!
[00:24] Maurice
    Playing the goody-goody, huh?
[00:25] Maurice
    That infuriates me!

    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
    the manor and take a leisurely bath.
[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
    His eyes are closed?!
[00:50] Ciel
    We will set up a signal for
    when it is time to swing the bat.

[01:04] Student Spectator
    It's the Head Master!
[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*.
[00:38] Sebastian**
    Could he have sensed my presence?
[00:41] Sebastian
    In that case...
[00:43] Sebastian
    I won't hold myself back
    playing human for him.
[00:53] Sebastian
    He vanished?
[00:56] Ciel
    Defend and you die. Attack and you die.
[00:59] Ciel
    There's nowhere to run.
[01:01] Ciel
    I call these...
[01:03] Ciel
    ...cliff-edge tactics.
[01:05] Bluewer
    All I can contribute are
    precise calculations, detailed plans,
[01:10] Bluewer
    and a willingness to do the drills
    that make them possible.
[01:14] Bluewer
    That's all.
[01:17] Edward
    It was like...
[01:18] Bluewer
    The owl at night: Hunter in the Dark.
[01:23] Bluewer

[01:31] Greenhill
    Not good enough!
[01:56] Umpire
    Out!
[01:57] Umpire

[01:59] McMillan

[02:00] All Blue House

[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.

[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
    ...to the midnight tea party.
[00:51] Ciel
    That's Weston College's absolute
    monarch, the Head Master.
[00:57] Ciel
    It's clear they are all
    covering something up.
[01:01] Ciel
    It's about Derrick Arden and his friends.
[01:04] Ciel
    I can't raise my glass until
    I've had a chance to see them.
[01:08] Ciel
    This is a boarding school where
    every minute of the day is tightly regulated,
[01:11] Ciel
    yet no less than five students
     have gone missing.
[01:14] Ciel
    These are patently
    abnormal circumstances.
[01:17] Ciel
    Head Master, let us call
    on Scotland Yard for help.
[01:21] Agares
    That won't be necessary.
[01:24] Agares
    You see, they are here on school grounds.

[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...

[01:11] Bluewer
    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.

[03:40] (Flashback) Derrick
    The whole thing's a bore.

[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
    their school over human life,
[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.

    Mey-Rin, fetch the

[01:50] Mey-Rin
    Yes, sir, yes!
[01:54] Mey-Rin
    Hmm...
[02:05] Finnian
    Sebastian!
[02:07] Finnian
    I picked the herbs!
[02:10] Sebastian
    All right, please wash them.
[02:12] Finnian
    Yes, sir!
[02:27] Sebastian
    Young master.
[02:29] Sebastian
    It's time to wake up.
[02:40] Ciel
    A blend today, eh?
[02:43] Sebastian
    Your nose is sharp as ever.
[02:45] Sebastian
    It's the Fortnum & Mason today.
[02:48] Sebastian
    Milk?
[02:50] Ciel
    Yes.
[02:51] Ciel
    Honey, too.
[02:55] Sebastian
    There's a backlog of documents
    requiring your signature.
[02:58] Sebastian
    Also, the coordinator of
    your new label at Harrods contacted us.
[03:03] Sebastian
    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?

    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

    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.

    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?

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

    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.

    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.

[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?

    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.

[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.

    The Queen's personal horsekeeper...
[01:07] Sebastian
    John Brown.
[01:10] Sebastian
    You must have had quite
     a long journey, Mr. Brown.
[01:14] Sebastian
    Did you come this whole way on horseback?
[01:16] John
    Of course not.
[01:17] John
    I'd never force my beloved horse
    to walk such terrible roads.
[01:21] John
    Poor thing. Good horse.
[01:24] Sebastian
    I see. I'm glad you weren't exposed
     to the werewolf miasma.
[01:30] John
    Cheers for the concern.
    Now, where's the earl?
[01:34] Sebastian
    My apologies, but I'm afraid
    my master is ill at the moment.
[01:40] Sebastian
    You can leave the letter with me.
[01:44] John
    That won't do. I was asked to deliver it
    with the message, "Read it at once, dear!"
[01:51] John
    Well, needs must. Would you kindly
    read it and confirm the contents?
[01:56] Sebastian
    Me?
[01:58] John
    It's urgent.
[02:02] Sebastian
    Then I shall be so bold as to do so.
[02:08] Sebastian
    This is...
[02:10] John
    And so, I have done my duty. I'll be off now.
[02:14] Snake
    What?
[02:16] Sebastian
    Watch out for werewolves on your way back.
[02:20] John
    Cheers for the concern.
    Take care of his lordship.
[02:27] Sebastian
    Well now.
[02:29] Sebastian
    It seems we can't afford
    to take our time anymore.

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

    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

[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!

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

[00:01] Sullivan
    I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
    the ruler of this forest.
[00:06] Wolfram
    Where the hell're you from?
[00:09] Sullivan
    Stop that, Wolfram.
[00:11] Wolfram
    Ow, ow, ow!
[00:11] Sullivan
    I apologize. We haven't had
    visitors from outside in some time.
[00:15] Sullivan
    I've never left this village in my life,
[00:19] Sullivan
    and I don't think I ever will.
[00:22] Sullivan
    I'd like you to tell me about the outside world.
    About the world I don't know.
[00:30] Ciel
    Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
[00:35] Sullivan
    First, teach me your country's language.
[00:38] Sebastian
    It's a collection of English home remedies.
[00:42] Sullivan
    What?
[00:46] Sullivan
    I didn't think it would be ready so soon!
[00:48] Sebastian
    Wait, my lady.
[00:50] Sebastian
    Silverware is arranged from
    outside to inside in order of usage.
[00:54] Sebastian
    It is always better to have more knowledge.
[00:59] Sullivan
    Knowledge?
[01:01] Sullivan
    That's a good point!
[01:04] Sullivan
    Th-These wounds are...
[01:06] Villager A
    I think Herr Werwolf is angry because 
    outsiders are here. And men, at that.
[01:12] Anne
    More people will be hurt if this goes on!
[01:15] Anne
    Please, Fräulein Sullivan,
     protect our village!
[01:19] Crone
    Why do you hesitate, Emerald Witch?
[01:22] Crone
    Focus on completing the Ultimate Spell
    before being so smitten with the outside world.
[01:30] Sullivan
    Very well.
[01:32] Sullivan
    I'll have them leave tomorrow.
[01:40] Wolfram
    I'm so sorry, young mistress.
[01:43] Wolfram
    I... I...
[01:46] Sullivan
    Wolf, don't cry.
[01:49] Sullivan
    I'll complete the Ultimate Spell
     and protect you all.
[02:11] Sullivan
    O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!
[02:18] Sebastian
    Good evening, Fräulein Sullivan.
[02:21] Sebastian
    We've arranged to give you
     what you want the most.
[02:25] Sebastian
    You'll be able to gain knowledge and
    have experiences you could never have here.
[02:35] Sebastian
    I-I'll go with you.
[02:38] Sullivan
    I want to know more!
[02:42] Sebastian
    Your hand, please.
[02:46] Sebastian
    We'll escort you into the unknown.
[02:51] Werewolf 1
    The Emerald Witch.
[02:52] Werewolf 2
    It's the Emerald Witch.
[02:54] Werewolves
    Secure her!
[02:57] Werewolf 3
    Are you all right?!
[02:58] Werewolf 4
    Get her a suit, quickly!
[02:59] Sullivan
    What in the world...
[03:01] Ciel
    Quite the elaborate farce.
[03:03] Ciel
    The "werewolves" are really
    mere humans in costumes.
[03:07] Ciel
    And the "miasma" is really...
[03:10] Ciel
    ...a chemical weapon made
    in this factory. It's a toxic gas.
[03:14] Crone
    Take pride! You have created
     the most powerful toxic gas in history!
[03:21] Sullivan
    I thought I was protecting the villagers.
[03:24] Sullivan
    But I was creating a weapon?
    Something whose only purpose is to kill?
[03:28] Sullivan
    Tell me that's not true, Elder!
[03:32] Crone
    Why are you crying, Sieglinde?
[03:36] Crone
    It's precisely because the fine mind
     you were born with
[03:38] Crone
    was given the optimal environment
    in which to immerse itself in research
[03:43] Crone
    that you were able to create
    the ultimate chemical weapon.
[03:47] Crone
    So dry your tears,
[03:50] Crone
    my beloved daughter.
[03:53] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[03:54] Sullivan
    You were deceiving me, too.
[03:59] Sullivan
    You liar!
[04:06] Sullivan
    It frightens me that I created that thing.
[04:13] Sullivan
    I don't know what to believe in anymore.
[04:16] Sullivan
    I don't want to think anymore.
[04:19] Sullivan
    I just want to disappear.

    Since you created the ultimate poison
     trying to save your people,

[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.

[00:01] Ludger
    Anne Drewanz. Born March 25, 1864.
[00:08] Ludger
    Died of multiple lacerations August 17, 1889.
[00:15] Ludger
    No notes of interest.
[00:18] Ludger
    Demons may have pretty faces,
    but they sure do disgusting things.
[00:23] Ludger
    What now, Sascha?
[00:28] Ludger
    Hey!
[00:29] Ludger
    Why are you so far away?
[00:33] Ludger
    You left me talking to myself.
[00:36] Sascha
    Sorry, Ludger. It's just the notes
    from the English branch are fascinating.
[00:47] Sascha
    I think things are about to get interesting.
[00:51] Ludger
    You certainly seem entertained, Sascha.
[00:55] Sascha
    Of course I am! Just think of it,
    Ludger: England and Germany!
[01:01] Sascha
    Doesn't it thrill you
    to think what might happen?
[01:05] Ludger
    I'd wager there aren't many grim reapers
    out there who enjoy the job as much as you do.
[01:10] Sascha
    I love it! I'm so glad I became a reaper.
[01:14] Sascha
    What do you think will happen next, Ludger?
[01:18] Sascha
    Personally, my theory is—
[01:20] Ludger
    Ah, we can discuss that later.
[01:23] Ludger
    The immediate question is,
    how do we deal with the demon?
[01:25] Sascha
    I think we can just leave him be.
     His contracted is with him.
[01:29] Ludger
    That girl, you mean?
[01:30] Sascha
    No.
[01:32] Ludger
    Where is the contracted, then?
[01:34] Sascha
    Oh, no, that's not what I meant.
[01:37] Sascha
    That is his contracted, 
    but according to this, he's a boy.
[01:42] Ludger
    What? Really?
[01:44] Sascha
    He's had a very interesting career, too.
[01:48] 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.
[03:53] Sign
    Black Butler
[03:55] Sign
    Emerald Witch Arc
[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.

[00:07] Sascha
    Hilde Dickhaut. Born October 20, 1858.
[00:20] Sascha
    Died of exsanguination August 17, 1889.
[00:27] Sascha
    No notes of interest.
[00:35] Ludger
    That wraps up today's job.
    Let's call it a night.
[00:40] Sascha
    Yes.
[00:42] Sascha
    Still, to think those two survived
     and went to England.
[00:47] Sascha
    Isn't it amazing how human history
     is built on things like this?
[00:52] Ludger
    You're making too big a deal of it, Sascha.
     It's just two humans going to England.
[00:57] Sascha
    Ah-ah-ah! That's where you're wrong, Ludger.
[01:02] Sascha
    Just think: an incredibly lethal new gas
     and the developer of that gas
[01:07] Sascha
    are both bound for England.
[01:10] Sascha
    What a perfect way to keep Germany in check!
[01:16] Ludger
    Ugh, here we go.
[01:19] Sascha
    They fought with swords and arrows
    until just a few centuries ago,
[01:22] Sascha
    but now they're making poisons
    that can kill hundreds with one drop.
[01:26] Sascha
    Human progress is amazing.
[01:28] Sascha
    What's more, there are minor geniuses
    like these all over the world.
[01:34] Sascha
    If just one of them upsets
     the world's balance,
[01:37] Sascha
    it might trigger a great war
    that will engulf the whole globe!
[01:42] Ludger
    That would be rotten.
[01:45] Sascha
    Personally, I'd rather have a world war
     than too much time on my hands.
[01:49] Sascha
    And I'd wager...
[01:52] Sascha
    ...he feels the same way.
[02:00] Ludger
    I'm not that kind of freak,
    so I'd rather not be so busy.
[02:05] Spears
    I quite agree.
[02:08] Spears
    If that happened, we'd never
    get to leave work on time.
[02:13] Ludger
    Hi there. You've come a long way...
[02:17] Ludger

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

[02:03] 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?
