[00:08] ---
    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.
[24:29] ---
    "Next Time: Solo Butler"
