[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.
[24:28] ---
