    Ciel...
[00:22] ---
    He disappeared after the fire.
[00:42] ---
    And when he finally came
    back to his estate...
[00:48] ---
    ...he had stopped smiling.
[00:54] ---
    I love Ciel.
[01:00] ---
    I love his smile.
[01:03] ---
    But for some reason, we keep going
    around in circles, getting nowhere.
[01:10] ---
    How can I...
[01:12] ---
    ...see Ciel's smile again?
[01:20] ---
    Ciel...

    "His Butler, Forlorn"
[03:00] ---
    You lost your mansion, you lost your parents,
[03:05] ---
    and this time, will you lose Lady Elizabeth?
[03:09] ---
    Sebastian!
[03:13] ---
    Take that back, Sebastian.
[03:15] ---
    Take what back?
[03:16] ---
    That jeer!
[03:18] ---
    Young master,
[03:19] ---
    you told me you would be taking
    care of some trifling business.
[03:23] ---
    Was that "business" to dotingly
    savor your wretched past
[03:28] ---
    and wallow in the pleasures of humiliation?
[03:33] ---
    Didn't you say at the frost fair
[03:36] ---
    that your body and your ring
[03:39] ---
    had already been shattered and reborn?
[03:43] ---
    That you were far past
    being afraid of shattering?
[03:47] ---
    That's right. Don't recite
    my words back to me.

[04:40] ---
    Who are you calling a lady?
[04:43] ---
    Let us depart, young master.
[04:45] ---
    No.
[04:47] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive is my
    master's possession now.
[04:52] ---
    "Possession"? I am not a--
[04:54] ---
    The proof is the ring on your finger.
[04:58] ---
    I can tell.
[05:00] ---
    That Hope piece is a present my master sends
[05:05] ---
    to those who will be made into dolls.
[05:09] ---
    Your master?
[05:10] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive will become a doll.
[05:14] ---
    A doll made of silver and gold.
[05:19] ---
    ♪ Silver and gold will be stolen away,
    stolen away, stolen away. ♪
[05:37] ---
    He was stolen away...
[05:41] ---
    So I thought to myself:
[05:44] ---
    "Ciel Phantomhive will return."
[05:56] ---
    Goodness me.
[06:04] ---
    What about Lizzie?!
    You still haven't saved her?!
[06:08] ---
    I thought I ordered you
    to solve the kidnappings.
[06:12] ---
    Saving Lizzie, who fell victim
    to the kidnappings, is the first--
[06:16] ---
    An order is not the same as a contract.
[06:19] ---
    Just as you give first priority
    to orders from the Queen,
[06:23] ---
    I prioritize your life.
[06:29] ---
    I have devoted myself to your
    service and protection all this time.
[06:38] ---
    I couldn't stand for you
    to be stolen from me now.
[06:46] ---
    Young master?
[06:47] ---
    It would seem the ring is
    the mark of his next target.
[06:52] ---
    And I have two of them.
[06:54] ---
    Protecting me now will no
    doubt require some effort.
[07:01] ---
    Nevertheless, I shall...
[07:07] ---
    Pluto?
[07:08] ---
    I searched every corner of the mansion,
[07:11] ---
    but there was no sign of Lady Elizabeth.
[07:15] ---
    The only place left is that sealed-off tower.
[07:28] ---
    Hey, now! What's the matter with you?!
[07:33] ---
    You two are alive?
[07:37] ---
    Sebas-chan!
[07:43] ---
    Excuse me?!
[07:45] ---
    Wait, could that be... a demon hound?
[07:49] ---
    You just noticed?
[07:53] ---
    Oh la la! A passionate night
    with a beast! How immoral!
[07:59] ---
    You're so wanton.
[08:01] ---
    I've been waiting for you, Pluto.
[08:07] ---
    Once the seal of the
    underworld has been placed on a door,
[08:10] ---
    only a hellhound can open it.
[08:19] ---
    His collar is shining?
[08:21] ---
    So is the door.
[08:35] ---
    Too, too big!
[08:43] ---
    He did it again!
[08:44] ---
    It's all right.
[08:47] ---
    Let's have him guide us.
[09:38] ---
    Lizzie!
[09:45] ---
    Lizzie...
[09:47] ---
    Lizzie!
[09:52] ---
    It looks like we were a little too late.
[09:54] ---
    No...
[09:56] ---
    Lizzie! Lizzie!
[09:58] ---
    Lizzie!
[10:04] ---
    Hmm...?
[10:07] ---
    Lizzie...
[10:09] ---
    Thank goodness.
[10:11] ---
    The ring...
[10:17] ---
    So you were pleased...
[10:22] ---
    Ciel...
[10:29] ---
    Then this was her gift for you.
[10:33] ---
    But it's foolish. Why would you give me...
[10:39] ---
    Yes, why?
[10:43] ---
    Why does her body move
    independent of her will?
[10:49] ---
    And...
[10:52] ---
    Why does she hurt the one she loves?
[10:58] ---
    Elizabeth!
[11:02] ---
    No!
[11:06] ---
    No! No! No!
[11:11] ---
    Grell. You can see this too, can't you?
[11:14] ---
    I suppose. But I might chip my blades, so...
[11:21] ---
    Please.
[11:22] ---
    Oh, Sebas-chan! You're
    asking me for something?
[11:25] ---
    In that case, during the kiss,
    can there be... can there be tongue?!
[11:31] ---
    I haven't the faintest idea what you mean,
[11:33] ---
    but in fact, I can tie a cherry
    stem in a knot with my tongue.
[11:37] ---
    Oh, yes!
[11:42] ---
    It's unforgivable for a little girl like
    you to have a better blade than me.
[11:47] ---
    Stop, Grell!
[11:55] ---
    Elizabeth...
[12:00] ---
    It's a puppet string.
[12:05] ---
    This sharp cut only comes with
    a death scythe. Well, Sebas-chan?
[12:09] ---
    I'm amazing, aren't I?
    Compliment me, compliment me!
[12:13] ---
    Good for you. Not just anyone
    would run with scissors.
[12:16] ---
    Oh, I'm flattered to death!☆
[12:19] ---
    And the puppet string leads to...
[12:25] ---
    So I thought to myself:
[12:32] ---
    "What shall I use to make my new dolls?"
[12:36] ---
    Then I'll ask you this--
    what are you made of?
[12:41] ---
    Hmm? What am I...
[12:45] ---
    made of?
[12:47] ---
    Yes. You see,
[12:50] ---
    you don't seem to be made
    of very high-quality materials.
[12:54] ---
    So I thought to myself:
[12:57] ---
    "I know I must be human,
[13:00] ---
    and yet lately I often find
    termites crawling out of my ears."
[13:18] ---
    Grell.
[13:19] ---
    Ah, a loving collaboration,
    right, Sebas*-chan*?
[13:27] ---
    I sense none of the way or
    the style of a butler in you.
[13:39] ---
    I would never lose to a man without style.
[13:43] ---
    That's my Sebas-chan! So stylish!
[13:46] ---
    So he was a doll, too?
[13:48] ---
    Drossel Keinz. His soul was
    collected five years ago.
[13:53] ---
    But for some reason, we
    detected signs of survival.
[13:57] ---
    Someone must have fitted
    him with a makeshift soul.
[14:04] ---
    Ciel...
[14:06] ---
    Elizabeth! Let's go home.
[14:09] ---
    I want to... give you a birthday party...
[14:19] ---
    Yes... Please do.
[14:30] ---
    You can rest easy. It's all--
[14:33] ---
    It's not all over, it appears.
[14:36] ---
    So I thought to myself:
[14:41] ---
    "I will report to my master."
[14:48] ---
    What's wrong with him?
[14:50] ---
    He's all torn up and he still
    wants to serve his master?
[14:54] ---
    I can understand.
[14:56] ---
    You see, he's merely one hell of a butler.
[14:59] ---
    Mas...ter...
[15:16] ---
    Pluto!
[15:21] ---
    Why is he being so friendly?
[15:23] ---
    I'm very sorry.
[15:25] ---
    My butler is so incompetent,
    I'm unable to offer you hospitality.
[15:30] ---
    So you're behind this.
    Why would you make girls into dolls?
[15:35] ---
    Flowers, eras, and also people
[15:38] ---
    are only beautiful for finite moments.
[15:41] ---
    Dollmaking is noble work,
    preserving in this world
[15:47] ---
    the most beautiful and perfect of people.
[15:51] ---
    You've got awful taste!
    What's so perfect about immature little--
[15:55] ---
    Why are you after me?
[15:58] ---
    I won't be made into a doll
    and lovingly displayed somewhere!
[16:08] ---
    Know your place, boy.
[16:10] ---
    What?
[16:11] ---
    My butler's head is made of straw.
[16:15] ---
    I imagine he couldn't
    understand why I wanted you.
[16:20] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive, you were
    fated to die from your very birth.
[16:27] ---
    Your body is already unclean.
[16:35] ---
    Why do you know that?
[16:39] ---
    I cannot allow someone
    like you to exist in this world.
[16:46] ---
    Unclean, unnecessary, unfruitful...
[16:51] ---
    And therefore I tried to snuff you out.
[16:53] ---
    What?!
[16:54] ---
    Snuff out the unclean.
    The unnecessary, the unfruitful...
[17:00] ---
    Snuff him out! Snuff him out!
    Snuff him out! Snuff him out...!
[17:04] ---
    Don't play games with me!
[17:15] ---
    This is...
[17:34] ---
    Catch it, Sebastian!
[17:36] ---
    The person manipulating it
[17:40] ---
    is not here, my lord.
[17:42] ---
    I now notice that there were
    invisible strings all over the room.
[17:47] ---
    Not a very nice thing, I must say.
[17:56] ---
    Sebas-chan!
[18:00] ---
    Now for our passionate kiss!
[18:05] ---
    What shall we do, young master?
[18:08] ---
    Would you like me to avenge Madam Red now?
[18:11] ---
    F-Fine, I'll leave your lips for next time!
[18:15] ---
    Bye-bye! Smooch!
[18:18] ---
    Stop--
[18:19] ---
    No. Not today.
[18:24] ---
    I don't want the scent of blood to
    reach Elizabeth any more than it has.
[18:37] ---
    Well, now...
[18:39] ---
    It's his birthday today!
[18:42] ---
    That one certainly wouldn't
    be happy about a birthday.
[18:46] ---
    I-I'm sorry, Sir Arthur!
[18:48] ---
    I was looking into the Hope
    diamond, and I got sidetracked...
[18:52] ---
    You're not mistaken to investigate him.
[18:55] ---
    Huh?
[18:56] ---
    He gets special treatment--
[18:58] ---
    he can get information even the Yard can't.
[19:02] ---
    He wags his tail for the Queen
    and marks all territory as his.
[19:07] ---
    The Queen's damned guard dog...
[19:10] ---
    The Queen's...?
[19:20] ---
    Whoever he may be,
[19:23] ---
    can a child who doesn't like
    his birthday truly exist?
[19:34] ---
    Happy birthday, Ciel!
[19:39] ---
    Congratulations!
[19:41] ---
    Congratulations, Ciel.
[19:43] ---
    --Congratulations!
[19:43] ---
    --Congratulations, yes!
SIGN    "Christmas Pudding"
[19:47] ---
    I'll serve the pudding, then.
[19:52] ---
    What a bother. You could
    have cut it in the kitchen.
[20:02] ---
    This is...
[20:04] ---
    It's a Christmas pudding.
    The season is almost upon us, after all.
[20:08] ---
    If your portion contains a ring,
    you are guaranteed happiness.
[20:16] ---
    I'm so glad! He says you'll
    be able to find happiness, Ciel!
[20:20] ---
    I don't--
[20:21] ---
    Paula! Ring the bells!
[20:23] ---
    Yes, my lady!
[20:25] ---
    Jingle, jingle...!
[20:37] ---
    What's wrong with these people?
[20:42] ---
    You see, I wanted Ciel to smile.
[20:48] ---
    I wanted him to be happy... always...
[20:54] ---
    always...
[21:01] ---
    I know, my lady.
[21:08] ---
    To think the ring I cast away
    would come back again...
[21:12] ---
    Regardless of the circumstances,
    it was a gift for you from Lady Elizabeth.
[21:17] ---
    And I will protect you
    to the end, young master.
[21:24] ---
    More importantly, what about that mansion?
[21:28] ---
    It has been empty for quite a while,
    since its owner, the Earl of Mandalay,
[21:32] ---
    has been in a sanatorium for
    long-term convalescents.
[21:35] ---
    I suppose he has nothing
    to do with this, then.
[21:38] ---
    It would seem not.
[21:41] ---
    Then that marking...
[21:47] ---
    What's the matter, my lord?
[21:49] ---
    Nothing. I'm going to bed. I'm tired.
[21:54] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[22:01] ---
    Snuff out the unclean!
    Snuff out the unnecessary!
[22:05] ---
    Snuff out the unfruitful!
    Snuff out the unclean!
[22:09] ---
    Snuff out the unnecessary!
[22:11] ---
    Snuff out the unclean!
[22:13] ---
    --Snuff out the unclean!
[22:13] ---
    --Snuff out the unnecessary.
    Snuff out the unfruitful.
[22:20] ---
    Snuff out the unclean.
[22:30] ---
    Snuff him out.
[24:04] ---
    An odd sort of guest has come
    to us all the way from India.
[24:09] ---
    Prince Soma displays enough immaturity
    to put a certain someone to shame.
[24:14] ---
    He is personally attended by
    a competent butler named Agni.
[24:18] ---
    Young master,
[24:20] ---
    do you suppose this
    sort of pairing is "in" lately?
[24:25] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Freeloader."
[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Freeloader"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
