**[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...
**[01:30] ---**

"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--*
