[01:47] Sebastian
    Mey-Rin, fetch the
    Fortnum & Mason Royal Blend.
[01:50] Mey-Rin
    Yes, sir, yes!
[01:54] Mey-Rin
    Hmm...
[02:05] Finnian
    Sebastian!
[02:07] Finnian
    I picked the herbs!
[02:10] Sebastian
    All right, please wash them.
[02:12] Finnian
    Yes, sir!
[02:27] Sebastian
    Young master.
[02:29] Sebastian
    It's time to wake up.
[02:40] Ciel
    A blend today, eh?
[02:43] Sebastian
    Your nose is sharp as ever.
[02:45] Sebastian
    It's the Fortnum & Mason today.
[02:48] Sebastian
    Milk?
[02:50] Ciel
    Yes.
[02:51] Ciel
    Honey, too.
[02:55] Sebastian
    There's a backlog of documents
    requiring your signature.
[02:58] Sebastian
    Also, the coordinator of
    your new label at Harrods contacted us.
[03:03] Sebastian
    They'd like you to
    come inspect their display.
[03:06] Ciel
    Oh, that.
[03:09] Ciel
    All right. I'll go today.
[03:11] Sebastian
    Very good, my lord.
[03:14] Sebastian
    In that case, I have a small request.
[03:17] Ciel
    Oh?
[03:19] Sebastian
    I'd like to update the prescription
    for Mey-Rin's spectacles,
[03:23] Sebastian
    and replace Finny's hat—the patch
    on it stands out like a sore thumb.
[03:27] Ciel
    That's fine. We'll bring them on today's—
[03:31] Soma
    Ciel!
[03:33] Soma
    What's the meaning of this?!
[03:36] Soma
    How could you quit school
    without telling me?
[03:40] Ciel
    Y-You should stay until you graduate.
[03:43] Ciel
    You can learn about British society.
[03:46] Soma
    It's boring without you.
[03:48] Soma
    And the lessons are too easy.
[03:52] Soma
    I learned all those things as a child.
[03:55] Ciel
    Th-That's incredible to me.
[03:58] Sebastian
    I suppose you are royalty.
[04:00] Sebastian
    You had special tutoring, I take it?
[04:02] Agni
    Indeed he did!
[04:03] Agni
    Prince Soma's brilliance made him
    the court tutors' pride and joy!
[04:07] Ciel
    You're here, too, Agni?
[04:09] Soma
    Ciel, are you listening to me?
[04:12] Agni
    Yes. Namaste jī, 
    Lord Phantomhive and Sebastian.
[04:16] Agni
    It's been too long since
    I've had the pleasure.
[04:18] Sebastian
    Too long?
[04:20] Sebastian
    Didn't we see each other
    recently at Weston College?
[04:26] Sebastian
    Right after Prince Soma was admitted.
[04:32] (Flashback) Soma
    I'm bored! I'll go visit Ciel!
[04:39] Agni
    No, Your Highness!
    Going out at night is against school rules!
[04:43] Agni
    It's only your first day!
[04:46] Agni
    But I was ordered to stay at home.
    I can't just walk up to him...
[04:50] Agni
    But...
[04:52] (Flashback) Soma
    What's that?
[04:53] (Flashback) Soma
    This is the wrong way!
[04:56] Agni
    P-Prince Soma!
[05:00] Sebastian
    Don't you remember?
[05:01] Agni
    No, I... That's...
[05:05] Sebastian
    As I recall, you came to
    the cricket tournament as well.
[05:07] Agni
    What?
[05:08] Sebastian
    When I went to deliver
    the special pie to Red House...
[05:13] (Flashback) Red House Boy A
    This will be an easy win for us.
[05:16] (Flashback) Red House Boy B
    We knew that going into it.
[05:18] (Flashback) Red House Boy C
    Stop chatting and get these ready to—
[05:21] (Flashback) Red House Boy C
    Hmm? Where did that meat pie go?
[05:24] (Flashback) Red House Boy B
    Maybe someone left it behind?
[05:25] (Flashback) Red House Boy C
    No, I don't think so.
[05:28] Agni
    Th-This is horrible.
[05:32] Agni
    I feared my prince would grieve
    at being unable to eat the beef pie,
[05:37] Agni
    so I secretly baked him a chicken pie...
[05:40] Agni
    ...but Sebastian stole a march on me!
[05:45] Agni
    To think he's being considerate of Prince Soma
    even though they are currently foes...
[05:49] Agni
    Only you, Sebastian!
[05:53] Agni
    Still, I baked it,
    so I want my prince to eat it!
[05:58] Agni
    I'm sure he'll request the largest slice.
[06:02] Agni
    O goddess, please forgive my selfishness!
[06:07] (Flashback) Soma
    Give me the biggest slice!
[06:10] Sebastian
    Don't you remember?
[06:10] Agni
    No, I...
[06:13] Agni
    S-S-S-Sebastian, don't—
[06:16] Ciel
    That's why he stayed fit as a fiddle?
[06:19] Soma
    Agni!
[06:24] Soma
    You disobeyed me?!
[06:27] Agni
    I'm sorry, Your Highness!
    I was just so worried!
[06:31] Soma
    You trust me so little?!
[06:35] Sebastian
    Well, we're off on a little trip.
[06:39] Ciel
    Look after the place for us.
[06:42] Soma
    Ciel! Wait!
[06:57] Finnian
    Wow!
[06:59] Finnian
    What an enormous clock!
[07:02] Baldroy
    It's called Big Ben.
[07:06] Finnian
    It looks strong!
[07:11] Ciel
    I wonder when that bridge will be completed.
[07:14] Sebastian
    Tower Bridge?
[07:16] Sebastian
    Planning started around
    the time you were born,
[07:19] Sebastian
    and construction began three years ago.
[07:22] Sebastian
    I imagine it will be a while
     before it's finished.
[07:26] Sebastian
    Humans are so unhurried
    for creatures with such short lives.
[07:31] Ciel
    Hmph.
[07:32] Ciel
    Unlike demons, we have to deal with tricky
    things like contracts and abutments and so on.
[07:42] Optical Shop Owner
    What do you think?
[07:45] Finnian
    How do I look?
[07:47] Baldroy
    Wanna try some on, young master?
[07:49] Ciel
    The eyepatch is more than enough for me.
[07:51] Snake
    "Spectacles make the world spin
    in a funny way!" ...says Goethe.
[07:58] Mey-Rin
    I can see very well, yes!
[08:01] Sebastian
    We'll take those, then.
[08:04] Sebastian
    I trust that's all right?
[08:09] Mey-Rin
    Seeing too well isn't safer, no!
[08:19] Mey-Rin
    These are cute, yes!
[08:22] Shopkeeper
    Looking for anything in particular?
[08:24] Finnian
    I'd like a straw hat
    that's as cool as Big Ben!
[08:27] Sebastian
    An ordinary one will be fine.
[08:29] Female Employee
    It suits you very well.
[08:41] Ciel
    Enough!
[08:45] Ciel
    While we're here, do you two want anything?
[08:55] Bag Shop Lady
    I believe this would be just the thing.
[08:58] Bag Shop Lady
    It's made of bridle leather,
    which is quite durable,
[09:02] Bag Shop Lady
    so you should be able
    to use it for a long time.
[09:06] Ciel
    You really want one that large?
[09:09] Snake
    "This one is big enough to carry
    everyone with me." ...says Wordsworth.
[09:20] Sebastian
    About Baldo's request...
[09:23] Ciel
    Does he even read books?
[09:25] Baldroy
    Young master!
[09:27] Baldroy
    Can I ask for this?
[09:29] Sebastian
    No.
[09:30] Baldroy
    Darn.
[09:40] Ciel
    A historical novel, eh?
[09:42] Sebastian
    Well, well.
[09:45] Sebastian
    It's a book by our friend, Master Arthur.
[09:49] Baldroy
    Who's "Master Arthur"?
[09:51] Mey-Rin
    The eye doctor, no?
[09:55] Mey-Rin
    The one from that stormy night.
[09:59] Baldroy
    Oh, from the serial murders!
[10:03] Sebastian
    I see Master Arthur is getting
    along fine with his work.
[10:07] Ciel
    He could write a historical novel anytime.
[10:10] Ciel
    I think he should be writing
    detective novels now instead.
[10:15] Sebastian
    And yet, you intend to buy it, I see.
[10:19] Ciel
    To pass the time.
[10:21] Sebastian
    Very good, my lord.
[10:26] Sebastian
    Young master, you'll spoil
    your supper if you eat that now.
[10:30] Ciel
    This is market research.
[10:34] Ciel
    Baldo.
[10:35] Baldroy
    Yeah?
[10:36] Ciel
    Here.
[10:39] Baldroy
    Candy?
[10:41] Ciel
    It wouldn't do to leave you
     as the odd man out.
[10:44] Ciel
    You'll ruin your sense of taste
    if you keep smoking so much.
[10:48] Ciel
    You're a chef, aren't you?
[10:52] Baldroy
    Yessir! Thank you!
[10:58] Ciel
    Right, that just leaves Harrods.
[11:01] Sebastian
    Forgive me, my lord,
    but may we make one more stop first?
[11:07] Ciel
    Where?
[11:09] Sebastian
    Somerset House.
[11:13] Mey-Rin
    What's this place?
[11:14] Baldroy
    Apparently, there's a lot of government offices
    here, like the Register and the tax people.
[11:20] Finnian
    Huh.
[11:26] Sebastian
    My apologies for the wait.
[11:28] Ciel
    Well? What was this for?
[11:33] Sebastian
    This, my lord.
[11:36] Ciel
    That's Undertaker's mourning jewellery!
[11:42] Sebastian
    Yes. I thought it might offer clues
    about him, so I've been looking into it.
[11:49] Sebastian
    The deceased's name and date of death
    are incorporated into each piece.
[11:54] Sebastian
    The hallmarks on the back
    indicate where they were made.
[11:58] Sebastian
    The General Register Office at
    Somerset House houses the certificates
[12:02] Sebastian
    for all deaths in England and Wales.
[12:04] Sebastian
    I've put all of those pieces
    of information together.
[12:08] Sebastian
    Here are the seven death certificates
    that go with each locket of hair.
[12:14] Sebastian
    My investigation didn't reveal any
    connection between the seven deceased,
[12:19] Sebastian
    but one of the names caught my attention.
[12:24] Ciel
    My God...
[12:25] Ciel
    Claudia Phantomhive?!
[12:29] Ciel
    I don't know much beyond her name,
    but she was my grandmother.
[12:33] Sebastian
    From his possession of her hair,
[12:36] Sebastian
    I believe we can infer that Undertaker
    has been involved with the Phantomhives
[12:39] Sebastian
    since even before your predecessor's time.
[12:43] Ciel
    The initial "P" is nothing uncommon,
    so I never spared it a thought.
[12:50] Ciel
    I never imagined it stood for Phantomhive.
[12:54] (Flashback) Undertaker
    It's my treasure.
[13:02] (Flashback) Undertaker
    I was certain you'd protect the earl for me.
[13:12] Ciel
    Undertaker...
[13:15] Ciel
    What was his relationship
    to the Phantomhives?
[13:28] Sales Girl A
    We have new Funtom Company goods!
[13:32] Sales Girl B
    Come sample this new perfume
    for young ladies!
[13:35] Sales Girl B
    Please, take a sample!
[13:38] Finnian
    Yay!
[13:39] Ciel
    Don't just pass those out indiscriminately!
[13:42] Ciel
    This is a product for young ladies, you know.
[13:47] Sebastian
    I'll give the person in charge a talking-to.
[13:51] Sebastian
    But my lord...
[13:53] Sebastian
    Couldn't the designers have done
    a bit better with that mascot character?
[14:00] Ciel
    Funtom Company has
    a different icon for each line.
[14:04] Ciel
    We've already used cats and rabbits, so...
[14:08] Sebastian
    So to capture the "young lady" image,
     you went with a unicorn?
[14:12] Ciel
    Don't. Lizzie's already cross with me about it.
[14:16] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    It's not cute!
[14:18] Sebastian
    While I applaud your well-timed entry into
     the fast-growing market of ladies' goods,
[14:24] Sebastian
    it seems that market data
     and product quality
[14:27] Sebastian
    weren't quite enough to help
    you capture maidens' hearts.
[14:32] Ciel
    Quiet, you! And stop grinning! If I come up
    with a more effective marketing strategy—
[14:39] Baldroy
    Wh-What was that?
[14:41] Baldroy
    Oi! Where are you going?
[14:43] Sebastian
    Take care of the young master.
SIGN    What happened?
SIGN    The horse suddenly bolted!
SIGN    They aren't coming out.
SIGN    Are they all right?
SIGN    Someone pull the passengers out!
[14:55] Sebastian
    Are you all right?
[15:00] Sebastian
    Why, if it isn't Miss Irene Diaz.
     Good afternoon.
[15:05] Sebastian
    It was a pleasure to serve
    you at our dinner party.
[15:10] Irene
    It's you!
[15:15] Julius
    C-Could we postpone the small talk?
[15:19] Irene
    Are you all right?
[15:20] Sebastian
    Who is this?
[15:22] Julius
    Ow...
[15:24] Julius
    Julius Pittman. I perform in the Haymarket.
[15:31] Sebastian
    Ah! I see.
[15:34] Sebastian
    If I may, weren't you on your way somewhere?
[15:38] Irene
    Yes! I'll never make curtain now.
[15:41] Irene
    And if the public found out I was
    with a man from a rival opera house...
[15:50] Sebastian
    I have an excellent idea.
[15:58] Owner
    Still no sign of Irene?!
[16:00] Owner
    We'll have to call off the show at this rate.
[16:03] Owner
    And on a day when so many
    of our sponsors are here!
[16:06] Subordinate
    Please stay calm, sir! We'll do what
    we can to delay Juliet's appearance—
[16:11] Owner
    It's still only a matter of time until—
[16:16] Owner
    What in blazes is that?!
[16:28] Mercutio
    Come on now.
    We've already danced three times
[16:32] Mercutio
    What now, Romeo?
[16:34] Romeo
    Don't ask me.
[16:35] Other Cast Member
    We're about to lose the audience.
[16:40] Romeo
    Hurry up, Irene!
[16:43] Male Cast Member
    O-Oi!
[16:44] Male Cast Member
    What's that?
[16:47] Mercutio
    A bird?
[16:48] Male Audience Member
    A fairy?
[16:51] Romeo
    Nay!
[17:04] Romeo
    'Tis... 'Tis Juliet!
[17:10] Female Audience Member A
    Cards?
[17:11] Female Audience Member B
    Lily of the valley?
[17:14] Female Audience Member C
    What a lovely scent!
[17:16] Female Audience Member D
    Such wonderful stage direction!
[17:19] Irene
    Forgive my tardiness.
[17:22] Irene
    I am Capulet's daughter, Juliet.
[17:29] Romeo
    Ah, what a sweet scent!
[17:33] Romeo
    O beauty with a unicorn for her attendant...
[17:37] Romeo
    thou art a goddess!
[17:43] Irene
    Thank you for bringing me here...
[17:48] Irene
    ...kind unicorn.
[17:55] Cell
    Where the devil did he go?
[17:57] Finnian
    He's taking so long.
[18:03] Female Customers
    There it is!
[18:05] Female Customers
    One of Funtom's new perfumes, please!
[18:07] Female Customers
    Me, too!
[18:07] Ciel
    What's happening?
[18:09] Finnian
    I don't know!
[18:14] Ciel
    Sebastian!
[18:17] Sebastian
    What a pitiful cry that was.
[18:19] Ciel
    Where have you been?
[18:23] Ciel
    Or rather, why are you dressed like that?
[18:28] Sebastian
    I did a little promotional work.
[18:30] Ciel
    What?
[18:31] Sebastian
    When we heard the scream earlier,
    I thought I recognized the voice.
[18:36] Sebastian
    It was Irene Diaz.
[18:38] Sebastian
    I asked for a small favour
    in return for my services.
[18:42] Ciel
    That's what you were doing?
[18:46] Sebastian
    A Phantomhive butler...
[18:49] Sebastian
    who can't double the sales of
    a new line isn't worth his salt.
[18:57] Ciel
    Well, this does spare me
    unnecessary advertising expenses.
[19:02] Ciel
    Though I wouldn't have expected
    a little publicity from an opera star
[19:06] Ciel
    to be so effective...
[19:09] Sebastian
    The general public is
    easily swayed, young master.
[19:18] Ciel
    Therefore...
[19:23] Ciel
    I engaged Irene's services
    for this advertisement.
[19:26] Sebastian
    I applaud your avarice, young master.
[21:35] Hunter A
    Blast! He's gone into the woods.
[21:37] Hunter B
    The hunt is more fun when 
    they give us a bit of a chase.
[21:42] Hunter B
    Let's go.
[21:43] Hunter A
    Are you mad? Isn't this...
[21:48] Hunter A
    ...the haunted wood?
[21:52] Hunter B
    Surely you...
[21:53] Hunter B
    don't believe that nonsense?
[21:54] Hunter A
    Of course not!
[22:27] Crone
    Get out!
[22:28] Crone
    Ah!
[22:31] Crone
    These woods are guarded by werewolves!
[22:36] Crone
    You'll be cursed if they discover you!
[22:42] Hunter A
    Who is that crone?
[22:44] Hunter A
    Who knows. Let's hurry on.
[22:46] Hunter B
    R-Right...
[22:48] Crone
    You fools!
[22:58] Hunter A
    Ah, there he is!
[23:00] Hunter B
    Where did the fox go?
[23:05] Hunter A
    Why are they barking?
