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

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