[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!

    "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] ---

    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...

    "Next Episode: Crossroads Butler"
