[00:15] ---
    Why can't we celebrate?
[00:18] ---
    Tomorrow is...
[00:21] ---
    It's a special occasion,
[00:22] ---
    so I wish it could be flashy
    and lively and fun, yes...
[00:31] ---
    I'm here!
[00:34] ---
    Lady Elizabeth?!
[00:43] ---
    "Black Butler"
[00:49] ---
    There is no color to our meeting;
    it blows through in monochrome

[00:56] ---
    I go where your cool fingers beckon me
[01:01] ---
    I am like troublesome ice after the melt
[01:08] ---
    You gently scoop me up to your
    mouth and play with my upper lip

[01:16] ---
    Still, I search for a form of love
[01:22] ---
    The dry eyes that shape the
    present rather than a distant time

[01:28] ---
    Want to end like this, cloaked
[01:34] ---
    But the night ignores that
    wish and brings morning

[01:41] ---
    With your gentle,
    passionate, and dastardly kiss

[01:48] ---
     Paint this final night
[01:51] ---
    The moon illuminates us
[02:06] ---
    "His Butler, However You Please"
[02:14] ---
    Ciel!
[02:16] ---
    Lizzie?!
[02:22] ---
    Here, this is for you.
    Hurry up and open it, won't you?
[02:31] ---
    But I broke this! How...
[02:35] ---
    Oh, Sebastian repaired it.
[02:37] ---
    What? But it was chipped!
    And I don't see any cracks...
[02:41] ---
    Yes. A Phantomhive butler
    who can't do this much--
[02:44] ---
    ...isn't worth his salt.
[02:48] ---
    Quite, my lord.
[02:50] ---
    I see... Sebastian fixed it...
[02:54] ---
    My lady...
[02:56] ---
    What do you have in that box, Lady Elizabeth?
[02:59] ---
    Er, um, it's a secret!
[03:03] ---
    Didn't you just say you were giving it to me?
[03:08] ---
    That was a feint.
[03:10] ---
    "Feint"?
[03:11] ---
    No proper lady would try to win
    her gentleman with material things!
[03:15] ---
    That's disgraceful!
[03:17] ---
    Now, Paula, ring the bells!
[03:19] ---
    Y-Yes, my lady! Jingle, jingle!
[03:23] ---
    Well, then, good afternoon!
[03:28] ---
    So... what did Lizzie come here for?
[03:32] ---
    Tomorrow is your birthday.
[03:35] ---
    I imagine that's the reason.
[03:40] ---
    Well, young master?
[03:41] ---
    Why not hold a birthday party?
[03:44] ---
    After all, it seems there are
    others who wish to celebrate you, too.
[03:55] ---
    My birthday...
[04:07] ---
    Guess what? It's my birthday today!
[04:11] ---
    Honestly, now! I'm so sorry, Sir.
[04:15] ---
    Not at all. Your son is charming.
[04:18] ---
    Mother said she'll let me sleep
    in her bed tonight as a treat!
[04:23] ---
    She'll read me a book, too!
[04:25] ---
    And then--
[04:26] ---
    On my birthday...
[04:32] ---
    Father! Mother!
[04:35] ---
    Fath--
[04:41] ---
    My mother would let me sleep in her bed.
[04:45] ---
    My father would give me a present.
[04:48] ---
    We shall give you the
    mark of the noble beast.
[04:57] ---
    I had been eagerly looking forward to it...
[05:03] ---
    My birthday...
[05:10] ---
    Young master?
[05:11] ---
    This is nonsense. Bring tea to my room.
[05:15] ---
    Very good, my lord.
[05:30] ---
    Perhaps it's construction in the Underground?
[05:35] ---
    Look, my lady! Jingle, jingle!
[05:39] ---
    Paula.
[05:40] ---
    Yes? Jingle, jingle!
[05:42] ---
    You always seem so happy.
[05:45] ---
    I apologize, my lady!
[05:47] ---
    No, I'm not criticizing.
[05:49] ---
    You just seem so cheerful,
    with no cares in the world. I envy you.
[05:53] ---
    B-But you're usually...
[05:56] ---
    that is, I mean to say...
[05:59] ---
    At any rate, this traffic is
    really at a standstill, isn't it?
[06:02] ---
    What will we do if we're
    stuck until nightfall?
[06:22] ---
    But it could be fun, like camping, my lady--
[06:27] ---
    My lady?
[06:29] ---
    My lady!
[07:12] ---
    Welcome.
[07:18] ---
    E-Er...
[07:20] ---
    That ring...
[07:23] ---
    What a shame.
[07:25] ---
    It did not select you as its owner.
[07:32] ---
    However, your eyes...
[07:36] ---
    E-Er...
[07:38] ---
    Ciel is the only boy I...
[07:42] ---
    Your eyes have a very deep, sorrowful color.
[07:49] ---
    I can tell...
[07:51] ---
    You are very sad.
[08:03] ---
    I see, a birthday present...
[08:06] ---
    I wanted Ciel to be pleased!
[08:13] ---
    There are many things for sale here.
[08:16] ---
    They are all quite wonderful.
[08:38] ---
    I'll give you any one you like.
[08:42] ---
    You may choose any of them.
[08:44] ---
    But...
[08:46] ---
    Yes, I understand.
[08:48] ---
    These are all the same to you.
[08:53] ---
    So I think to myself:
[08:56] ---
    "Something different; a precious
    present for a precious person."
[09:01] ---
    The most suitable thing would be...
[09:09] ---
    You yourself.
[09:17] ---
    Elizabeth vanished?
[09:19] ---
    Yes. Her personal maid says she
    lost her on a street in Islington.
[09:24] ---
    We'll head there immediately.
[09:26] ---
    Good God, what is she thinking?
[09:28] ---
    First, please look at this.
[09:33] ---
    The kidnappings Scotland Yard
    is frantically investigating
[09:37] ---
    that only target young girls...
[09:40] ---
    The girls' bodies haven't been found,
    but they're most likely...
[09:45] ---
    The criminal sends a Hope piece
[09:47] ---
    to each victim in turn.
[09:50] ---
    A piece of the diamond said
    to bring ill luck to its owner...
[09:56] ---
    I never thought the treasure I lost out on
[09:58] ---
    would come up again in this connection.
[10:01] ---
    What now, my lord?
[10:04] ---
    We dispel Her Majesty's worries.
[10:06] ---
    That's our first priority...
[10:09] ---
    No matter what happens.
[10:15] ---
    Please excuse me.
[10:25] ---
    I apologize for keeping you waiting, Master.
[10:31] ---
    The next doll...
[10:35] ---
    ♪ Build it up with wax and stone,
    wax and stone, wax and stone. ♪
[10:41] ---
    ♪ Build it up with wax and
    stone, my fair lady. ♪
[10:47] ---
    Very good, Master.
[10:56] ---
    Young master?
[10:57] ---
    You open the carriage door.
[11:00] ---
    My lord?
[11:02] ---
    Question those who knew the victims
[11:06] ---
    and come up with a suspect list.
[11:09] ---
    Names, addresses. Then raid
    the scene of the crime.
[11:13] ---
    I'm sure three hours will be sufficient.
[11:18] ---
    While you're doing that,
    I'll take care of some trifling business.
[11:22] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[11:24] ---
    I see.
[11:26] ---
    Get on with it.
[11:28] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[11:42] ---
    It's pulsing! It's pulsing!
[11:51] ---
    My gorgeous man radar is pulsing!
[12:03] ---
    She said she lost Elizabeth
    somewhere around here...
[12:07] ---
    But why am I with him?!
[12:12] ---
    Take this, my lord. It should be of some use.
[12:18] ---
    For instance?
[12:19] ---
    If necessary, use it to distract
    the enemy while you run away.
[12:26] ---
    Well, no matter.
[12:28] ---
    You're a dog. You can at least
    distinguish scents, can't you?
[12:34] ---
    This is the ribbon from Lizzie's present.
[12:41] ---
    Why you... Do you intend
    to obey only Sebastian?!
[12:51] ---
    Don't start rutting here!
[12:55] ---
    Oh, my! A gentleman in rut?
    My heart's going pitter-patter!
[13:03] ---
    I am a hunter of love.
[13:06] ---
    My heart is ablaze seeing
    studly prey before me!
[13:10] ---
    Red with heat, sending sparks flying!
[13:14] ---
    Red...
[13:19] ---
    I spy a gorgeous man!
[13:34] ---
    You're...!
[13:35] ---
    I'm a more deadly efficient
    butler than I look!☆
[13:41] ---
    Though I am currently without a master...
[13:49] ---
    After the Madam Red incident
    I was temporarily demoted,
[13:53] ---
    and now I'm a lowly assistant.
[13:56] ---
    That brute Will told me he
    won't give me my old post back
[13:59] ---
    until I collect some truly troublesome souls!
[14:01] ---
    That rotten sadist!
[14:04] ---
    Though it's true that food tastes
    better when it's a little rotten...
[14:09] ---
    And those cold eyes do give me a thrill!
[14:13] ---
    But this boy's roughness is very nice, too.
[14:19] ---
    Dear me.
[14:20] ---
    Were you planning
    to avenge your beloved aunt?
[14:25] ---
    Shut up.
[14:26] ---
    I don't see Sebas-chan here.
    What can a little brat like you do?
[14:31] ---
    Shut up!
[14:35] ---
    Oh, is he your knight tonight?
[14:37] ---
    Why does this nipper get
    all the good-looking men?
[14:42] ---
    Ah, he's going to attack!
[14:44] ---
    At least be gentle!
[14:48] ---
    Hey... Well, I never!
[15:04] ---
    Lizzie!
[15:05] ---
    To-Die list, number 493:
[15:09] ---
    butler and puppeteer to
    the house of Mandalay,
[15:13] ---
    Drossel Keinz.
[15:29] ---
    This is...
[15:35] ---
    Lizzie!
[16:01] ---
    Lizzie is definitely in that mansion.
[16:05] ---
    Goodness, what a delightful estate.
[16:11] ---
    This man killed Madam Red.
[16:15] ---
    But right now...
[16:23] ---
    Grell. Protect me.
[16:25] ---
    What?
[16:26] ---
    I'll grant you any request.
[16:29] ---
    Don't be insulting.
[16:31] ---
    I'm not the sort
    of cheap girl you can just pay--
[16:33] ---
    I'll give you leave to do whatever
    you wish with Sebastian for a day.
[16:37] ---
    Hmm? Whatever I wish with Sebas-chan means...
[16:41] ---
    I can even kiss him?!
[16:43] ---
    Do as you like.
[16:45] ---
    W-With tongue?!
[16:47] ---
    Whatever you order him to do.
[16:50] ---
    Suddenly my Fired-Up Meter is
    maxed out! I'm deadly serious!☆

[17:39] ---
    The Hope diamond?
[17:42] ---
    What is this doll?
[17:47] ---
    It couldn't be!
[17:57] ---
    Pluto!
[18:00] ---
    Y-You mongrel!
[18:08] ---
    Now, now. I wish you'd call the right name.
[18:14] ---
    Grell!
[18:16] ---
    Reapers have the tools to harvest souls.
[18:20] ---
    Yes! Death scythes!
[18:25] ---
    Those are... just scissors.
[18:28] ---
    I can't help it! Will took my
    custom death scythe away!
[18:33] ---
    I miss its vibrations so much!
[18:35] ---
    That's it! I'll chop you to bits!
[18:39] ---
    Wait! Don't kill her! She's no doll!
[18:42] ---
    Kiss in the heavens!
[18:55] ---
    Was it a doll after all?
[18:59] ---
    ♪ Wood and clay will wash away,
    wash away, wash away. ♪
[19:09] ---
    This doll was a failure.
[19:14] ---
    So I thought to myself:
[19:17] ---
    "I must make them much, much stronger."
[19:24] ---

    ...gets this!
[19:52] ---
    Th-They're hard!
[19:55] ---
    Grell, this is an order.
[19:57] ---
    You and Pluto play with the dolls here...
[20:01] ---
    forever.
[20:02] ---
    Huh?
[20:08] ---
    You're going to leave me
    behind?! You're inhuman!
[20:11] ---
    A reaper is calling me that?!
[20:16] ---
    Kidnapped girls and dolls
    that look just like them.

[20:20] ---
    No, those dolls were the girls.
[20:23] ---
    So Elizabeth is...
[20:30] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive.
[20:36] ---
    You are very beautiful.
[20:39] ---
    I must make you into a worthy doll.
[20:44] ---
    Where is Elizabeth?
[20:46] ---
    Now, what shall I make you out of?
[20:49] ---
    Clay will wash away, yet iron
    is far too crude, I say.

    I will never see a happy birthday again.
[22:06] ---
    However!
[22:09] ---
    Truly, nothing good ever
    happens on your birthday, does it?
[22:16] ---
    You lost your mansion, you lost your parents,
[22:19] ---
    and this time, will you lose Lady Elizabeth?
[22:25] ---
    Sebastian!
[24:04] ---
    His heart is manipulated
    by his horrible memories,

[24:07] ---
    just like a helpless puppet.
[24:10] ---
    Young master, I have no
    interest in such a feeble soul.

[24:15] ---
    Stand tall, look to the sky, and join me...
[24:21] ---
    London Bridge has fallen down!
[24:25] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Forlorn."

[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Forlorn"

    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
