**[00:53] ---**
My master signed a contract with me
**[00:55] ---**
while in control of
Ciel Phantomhive's body.
**[01:01] ---**
Alas, Ciel Phantomhive's soul...
**[01:03] ---**
will not see the light of day...
**[01:07] ---**
until my master's soul is
released as the contract stipulates.
**[01:23] ---**
What are the details of the contract?
What are Alois Trancy's wishes?
**[01:27] ---**
It's a secret between my master and I.
**[01:31] ---**
How cocky.
**[01:32] ---**
But I will tell you this.
**[01:36] ---**
My master's wishes
**[01:38] ---**
include for one of you to
end your life as a demon.
**[01:44] ---**
When one of you wins
**[01:46] ---**
and the contract between
my master and I is fulfilled,
**[01:51] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive's soul
will be released by my master.
**[01:56] ---**
After that...
**[01:57] ---**
Hannah... If we strangle you to death...
**[02:01] ---**
My viscera will glow in noble blue...
**[02:05] ---**
and Ciel Phantomhive will come back to life.
**[02:07] ---**
"Black Butler"
**[02:15] ---**
This island of death,
a sanctuary for demons...
**[02:19] ---**
It seems that your rage caused you
**[02:21] ---**
to do quite a number on it...
Sebastian Michaelis...
**[02:24] ---**
Hannah... you brought us here.
Does that mean...
**[02:29] ---**
What you two will carry out here
is a formal duel between demons.
**[02:35] ---**
How stupid...
**[02:39] ---**
A duel between demons?
**[02:41] ---**
Funny, isn't it? To see two
grown men so desperate...
**[02:46] ---**
Alois...
**[02:50] ---**
When my wishes come true,
**[02:51] ---**
I'll die for real and
have Hannah eat my soul.
**[02:55] ---**
Then I'll return this body to you.
**[02:58] ---**
This body, huh...?
**[03:00] ---**
I did a terrible thing to you, Ciel.
**[03:02] ---**
But you're loved by
both Sebastian and Claude.
**[03:06] ---**
So it was punishment for
having such a blessed life.
**[03:08] ---**
Love? How distasteful...
**[03:10] ---**
What?
**[03:11] ---**
You don't understand Sebastian...
**[03:14] ---**
how he'll act when he learns
the details of the contract...
**[03:42] ---**
There is no attack that
can fatally wound a demon.
**[03:47] ---**
However, a wound caused by
a demon's sword will never heal.
**[03:53] ---**
And...
**[03:55] ---**
a soul pierced by a demon's
sword will come to a complete end.
**[04:02] ---**
Come now...!
**[04:05] ---**
Using a single sword...
**[04:07] ---**
A fight over a single soul...
**[04:15] ---**
I'm the one who'll sink his teeth
into the soul of the young master!
**[04:28] ---**
Sharply... Deeply...!
**[04:30] ---**
I'll tear it apart!
**[04:39] ---**
A small space like this
hinders my ability to move around.
**[04:42] ---**
So I will tear apart...
**[04:45] ---**
this island of death!
**[04:49] ---**
What?!
**[04:55] ---**
Master!
**[05:02] ---**
Sebastian Michaelis!
**[05:26] ---**
That sword is...!
**[05:27] ---**
That soul is...!
**[05:30] ---**
Mine!
**[05:41] ---**
It's started raining.
**[05:46] ---**
I've already achieved my revenge.
**[05:49] ---**
After that, I existed
**[05:51] ---**
solely for the purpose of
being devoured by Sebastian.
**[05:54] ---**
But your plan was ruined because of the
contract signed between Hannah and I.
**[06:04] ---**
What a pitiful demon,
**[06:07] ---**
fighting completely unaware like this.
**[06:12] ---**
He's fighting not knowing
that even if he wins...
**[06:26] ---**
...his reward will be...
**[06:47] ---**
Now you can no longer
tear the young master apart.
**[06:52] ---**
The young master's... soul...
**[06:57] ---**
This death that I greet as the fight over
the young master's sweet soul ends...
**[07:04] ---**
still gives off a rich
fragrance even as I wither away...
**[07:09] ---**
The young master's soul?
Don't make me laugh.
**[07:13] ---**
You've been trifled with
by the soul of Alois Trancy
**[07:16] ---**
and you'll die as he intended.
**[07:19] ---**
You’ve been under that
boy’s control to the very end.
**[07:23] ---**
Alois Trancy...
**[07:29] ---**
My glasses...
**[07:30] ---**
What?
**[07:32] ---**
I have a spare pair in my breast pocket.
**[07:45] ---**
A long, long, idle life as a demon...
**[07:50] ---**
If Alois Trancy has created a stir in it...
**[07:53] ---**
his soul might've been
worth tearing apart as well.
**[08:03] ---**
I'm impressed that you're so
talkative with a fatal wound like this.
**[08:09] ---**
Yes... But my end is about to come.
**[08:14] ---**
Well then, let us have your last words.
**[08:17] ---**
Yes...
**[08:21] ---**
Passion into insincerity,
**[08:23] ---**
lies into truth,
**[08:26] ---**
and a stray dog into an earl.
**[08:28] ---**
That's what makes a...
**[08:32] ---**
...butler...
**[08:47] ---**
Whose butler did you die as, Claude?
**[08:52] ---**
Claude!
**[08:54] ---**
It's over.
**[08:57] ---**
Yes... it’s over.
**[09:00] ---**
Are you satisfied?
**[09:02] ---**
I don’t know. I can’t
really tell anymore.
**[09:05] ---**
But...
**[09:07] ---**
But?
**[09:08] ---**
That's fine with me.
**[09:26] ---**
Now, Sebastian!
The truth is right in front of you.
**[09:30] ---**
What will you do when
you learn everything?
**[09:38] ---**
Our happiness has come.
**[09:43] ---**
Oh... Master...!
**[09:45] ---**
Claude acknowledged you.
**[09:48] ---**
Hannah...
**[09:51] ---**
The contract between my
master and I is now fulfilled.
**[09:54] ---**
All you have to do now is to kill me.
**[09:57] ---**
Your young master
will get his body back.
**[10:02] ---**
However...
**[10:04] ---**
even if he gets his body back,
**[10:06] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive will be as
good as a dead person to you.
**[10:11] ---**
Our happiness now
comes to a conclusion.
**[10:15] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive is...
**[10:41] ---**
Contract?
**[10:45] ---**
What do you wish, Master?
**[10:47] ---**
Claude's love...?
**[10:49] ---**
Or would you rather tear off his
limbs and force him to serve you?
**[10:54] ---**
They're approaching.
**[10:57] ---**
Yes, in pursuit of
Ciel Phantomhive's soul.
**[11:02] ---**
I've decided.
**[11:05] ---**
What I wish for in making
a contract with you is...
**[11:09] ---**
that neither of them will get Ciel's soul.
**[11:14] ---**
Murder, then?
**[11:16] ---**
No, that won't do.
**[11:19] ---**
I saw Claude's love right in front of me,
**[11:22] ---**
but it eluded me.
I want them to feel that...
**[11:27] ---**
*To me, my young master
is as good as a dead person.*
**[11:32] ---**
*What that means is...*
**[11:38] ---**
Jim Macken. Luka Macken.
**[11:43] ---**
Claude Faustus.
**[11:45] ---**
Hannah Annafellows.
**[11:56] ---**
The love amongst the four of us
will achieve eternal enlightenment.
**[12:10] ---**
Luka... We finally meet, Luka!
**[12:13] ---**
Brother!
**[12:14] ---**
We're gonna stay together forever!
Hannah and Claude are with us, too!
**[12:19] ---**
Yep! I don't feel lonely anymore!
**[12:22] ---**
That's right. We're not lonely anymore!
**[12:26] ---**
Everyone, everything, is happy!
**[12:33] ---**
*Young master...*
**[12:36] ---**
*Young master...!*
**[12:39] ---**
*Although I'm a demon,*
**[12:40] ---**
*I served the young master even
though it meant becoming a lowly butler.*
**[12:43] ---**
*Those days...*
**[12:46] ---**
Thank you very much
for waiting, young master.
**[12:54] ---**
Are you insane?
**[12:55] ---**
Whatever do you mean?
**[12:59] ---**
It seems that you skillfully
made it look like real food,
**[13:02] ---**
but while it is quite colorful,
it has very little taste.
**[13:05] ---**
I apologize. I'll bring
something different right away.
**[13:08] ---**
You signed a contract with me.
**[13:11] ---**
If you're a butler,
fulfill your duty as a butler.
**[13:15] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[13:20] ---**
Damn demon...
**[13:26] ---**
*Yes... I'm a demon.*
**[13:29] ---**
*How could I understand
the taste of human food?*
**[13:33] ---**
*The only taste I can understand is...*
**[13:37] ---**
*the taste of human souls.*
**[14:12] ---**
Good morning, young master.
**[14:59] ---**
Would you prefer to make it tighter?
**[15:04] ---**
No.
**[15:22] ---**
Today's tea is New Moon Drop.
**[15:30] ---**
What's my schedule like today?
**[15:36] ---**
Completely open.
**[15:41] ---**
It smells good.
**[15:57] ---**
Come in.
**[15:59] ---**
Y-Young master!
**[16:01] ---**
Lady Elizabeth is here, yes...
**[16:04] ---**
All right.
**[16:13] ---**
Young master...
**[16:15] ---**
I'll decide today's schedule myself.
**[16:25] ---**
Both of you, please
attend the young master.
**[16:27] ---**
Make sure not to be
impolite to Lady Elizabeth.
**[16:30] ---**
Where are you going, Sebastian?
**[16:33] ---**
I'm off to take care of some business.
**[16:35] ---**
Some business? Hey, Sebastian!
**[16:39] ---**
Ciel!
**[16:41] ---**
I-I can't breathe!
**[16:43] ---**
I missed you! I've had
"Ciel deficiency" all this time!
**[16:47] ---**
Ah! Oh no! What's with
that outfit?! It's not cute!
**[16:52] ---**
Such a plain outfit
doesn't look good on you.
**[16:55] ---**
I suppose not...
**[16:57] ---**
Maybe I'll change... just like that day.
**[17:00] ---**
"Just like that day"? Ciel...
**[17:03] ---**
Are you possibly saying...
**[17:05] ---**
Will you dance with me, my lady?
**[17:09] ---**
My pleasure!
**[17:17] ---**
Say, Ciel, what did
you do with your ring?
**[17:32] ---**
This music sounds
unpleasant somehow.
**[17:35] ---**
So the gramophone has broken...
**[17:37] ---**
Say...
**[17:38] ---**
What's the matter?
**[17:41] ---**
Nothing.
**[17:53] ---**
Oh, hey, butler. It's been a while.
**[17:56] ---**
Hello. I'm glad to
see you in good health.
**[17:59] ---**
Yeah, all thanks to
you letting me get away.
**[18:02] ---**
Well, I went along with your transparent
acting in return, so we're even, right?
**[18:06] ---**
Yes. I appreciate it.
This is a token of our gratitude.
**[18:12] ---**
Ran-Mao.
**[18:14] ---**
My young master will be away from
London for a while. So he sent me here
**[18:17] ---**
to say goodbye.
**[18:19] ---**
I see. I'll miss him.
**[18:21] ---**
And here's his message for you.
**[18:25] ---**
"I thought about killing you,
but it was too much of a bother.
**[18:29] ---**
Live as you please... however,
**[18:32] ---**
make sure you keep out of my sights."
**[18:34] ---**
Oh? So his memory came back, eh?
**[18:38] ---**
That's a happy ending,
don't you think Ran-Mao?
**[18:41] ---**
So, he's leaving London.
Where's he going?
**[18:51] ---**
*With cold tears filling your eyes*
**[18:57] ---**
*When the time is ripe*
**[19:02] ---**
*You shall cut through the
darkness in search of the light*
**[19:13] ---**
*Farewell*
**[19:16] ---**
*Because you and I can never meet again*
**[19:21] ---**
What took you so long, Sebastian?
**[19:24] ---**
I apologize. We can leave now.
**[19:26] ---**
Young master...
A-Are you really leaving?
**[19:30] ---**
Do what you want with this mansion.
**[19:31] ---**
You can use it, or you can even burn it.
**[19:36] ---**
W-We can't do that!
**[19:38] ---**
Why not?
**[19:39] ---**
Because... this place is filled with
our memories with you, young master!
**[19:43] ---**
Memories don't mean anything.
I proved that, didn't I?
**[19:47] ---**
That's not true, young master!
**[19:49] ---**
*Past the darkness where the moon sets*
**[19:54] ---**
*Is the narrow road*
**[20:06] ---**
*Back to the source*
**[20:17] ---**
I was looking forward
to seeing what you'd do
**[20:20] ---**
when their contract was fulfilled.
**[20:24] ---**
That was quite funny, Sebastian.
**[20:28] ---**
I didn't think you'd try to kill me.
**[20:33] ---**
When your revenge was achieved,
you were going to give me your soul.
**[20:38] ---**
That is why I've served you as a butler.
**[20:43] ---**
But I'm still alive.
**[20:51] ---**
Yes, you are alive...
**[20:54] ---**
not as a human...
**[20:58] ---**
but as a demon.
**[21:02] ---**
On that day, Alois Trancy signed
a contract with Hannah Annafellows.
**[21:07] ---**
As the contract with
my master stipulates,
**[21:10] ---**
Ciel Phantomhive will
come back to life as a demon.
**[21:16] ---**
That's exactly why...
**[21:26] ---**
What a greeting you gave me.
**[21:28] ---**
You tried to kill me before
I awakened as a demon?
**[21:33] ---**
No. I felt I had to ascertain whether
you had truly awakened as a demon.
**[21:40] ---**
I see. You wanted to
grasp the situation accurately.
**[21:45] ---**
You made the right choice as a butler.
**[21:51] ---**
I shall never be able to devour your soul.
**[21:56] ---**
Yes. And...
**[21:59] ---**
I gave you the order
in that rose labyrinth...
**[22:10] ---**
...to remain my butler forever.
**[22:16] ---**
Indeed. Since I responded
"yes" to that order...
**[22:21] ---**
even if I can't devour your soul...
**[22:24] ---**
I am merely one hell of a butler...
**[22:29] ---**
...for a fellow fiend of hell.
**[23:06] ---**
Where shall we go?
**[23:09] ---**
I don't care where.
**[23:12] ---**
The place we will end up treats both
humans and demons the same anyway.
**[23:26] ---**
I feel good...
**[23:28] ---**
as if I've been released from a
spell I was under for a long time...
**[23:32] ---**
Yes. In return...
**[23:35] ---**
I was put under an eternal spell.
**[23:39] ---**
You're my butler.
**[23:42] ---**
I'm your butler...
**[23:44] ---**
...forever.
**[23:46] ---**
From here on, as before,
you have only one answer.
**[23:51] ---**
You know it, don't you?
**[23:57] ---**
Yes, my lord.
