[00:12] ---
    Gorgeous.
[00:14] ---
    It's cold... Agni, what is this?
[00:18] ---
    It is called "snow," and falls in
    England during the winter, my prince.
[00:22] ---
    Snow?
[00:25] ---
    England, eh? It's a beautiful place.
[00:40] ---
    "Black Butler"
[00:46] ---
    There is no color to our meeting;
    it blows through in monochrome
[00:53] ---
    I go where your cool fingers beckon me
[00:58] ---
    I am like troublesome ice after the melt
[01:05] ---
    You gently scoop me up to your
    mouth and play with my upper lip
[01:13] ---
    Still, I search for a form of love
[01:19] ---
    The dry eyes that shape the
    present rather than a distant time
[01:25] ---
    Want to end like this, cloaked
[01:31] ---
    But the night ignores that
    wish and brings morning
[01:38] ---
    With your gentle,
    passionate, and dastardly kiss
[01:45] ---
     Paint this final night
[01:48] ---
    The moon illuminates us
[02:03] ---
    "His Butler, Freeloader"
[02:08] ---
    "This fellow is the child
    of craziness and laziness.
[02:13] ---
    England is the blasphemous
    country that has taken all,
[02:15] ---
    and forced on us,
    in arrogant ways, its rotten culture.
[02:18] ---
    Retribution should befall the fools
    of the country that the hellcat rules."
[02:23] ---
    This is the twentieth one!
[02:25] ---
    You still can't catch this
    criminal, Abberline?!
[02:29] ---
    I-I apologize, Sir Arthur.
[02:31] ---
    And we couldn't catch Jack the Ripper,
[02:34] ---
    so the brat got all the credit...!
[02:37] ---
    "Brat"? Do you mean Ciel Phantomhive?
[02:41] ---
    I can't help but get the feeling
    that he carries some awful burden.
[02:47] ---
    And he's still just a child...
[02:50] ---
    A child?
[02:52] ---
    So all the victims had just
    come home from India, then?
[02:55] ---
    Ciel?!
[02:57] ---
    No one seems to have died yet.
[03:01] ---
    "The child of craziness and laziness"...
[03:04] ---
    He does have a way with words.
[03:07] ---
    I agree that our country
    would be rather improved
[03:10] ---
    if all these nouveaux riches
    fresh back from India disappeared.
[03:13] ---
    Still, this mark...
[03:16] ---
    He's mocking the Queen and all Englishmen!
[03:20] ---
    He must be Indian!
[03:22] ---
    Ah, so that's why I was called in?
[03:27] ---
    Most of the Indians who've
    come here illegally
[03:29] ---
    hole up in the criminal
    neighborhoods of the East End.
[03:32] ---
    The Yard still hasn't learned their
    exact number or their route, has it?
[03:39] ---
    I can't allow Her Majesty to
    continue suffering such indignity.
[03:44] ---
    Let's go, Sebastian.
[03:46] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[03:54] ---
    I believe the Indians use
    this area as their base.
[03:58] ---
    Yes.
[04:00] ---
    That hurt!
[04:02] ---
    That hurt! I've cracked a rib!
[04:05] ---
    I'm done for! I might die!
[04:07] ---
    Hey, what's wrong?!
[04:08] ---
    That's awful! He needs
    to compensate you for that!
[04:11] ---
    Leave us everything you have.
[04:14] ---
    We've been caught by very clichéd thugs.
[04:17] ---
    What shall we do, young master?
[04:19] ---
    Hurry up and get rid of them.
[04:21] ---
    Certainly.
[04:22] ---
    Everybody in this place hates you Britishers!
[04:30] ---
    Are you hurt?
[04:32] ---
    No.
[04:33] ---
    You little bastard!
[04:35] ---
    You drag us here and then
    you toss us away like rubbish!
[04:39] ---
    You people trampled your
    filth all over our homeland!
[04:43] ---
    Now you find out how
    humiliating it is being looted!
[04:45] ---
    Wait.
[04:47] ---
    I'm looking for someone.
[04:49] ---
    Have you seen an Indian who looks like this?
[04:55] ---
    Who the hell are you?! Stay out of this!
[04:57] ---
    Are you dueling?
[05:01] ---
    He has a khansama with him...
    
[05:04] ---
    Are you an English nobleman?
[05:06] ---
    What if I am?
[05:07] ---
    Then I will side with my countrymen.
[05:11] ---
    Agni!
[05:12] ---
    Yes?
[05:13] ---
    Defeat them.
[05:15] ---
    Jo ājñā.
[05:16] ---
    I shall brandish the right hand the
    heavens bestowed on me for my master.
[05:37] ---
    He's fast.
[05:40] ---
    I've hit your vital points over and over.
[05:43] ---
    A normal person's arms would have
    gone numb. Why can you still move?
[05:47] ---
    We were just walking down the street!
[05:51] ---
    Are Indians savages who will attack
    any Englishman that wanders by?
[05:55] ---
    What?
[05:56] ---
    Did you fellows attack
    Shorty here for no reason?
[06:01] ---
    That's no good. My countrymen
    are in the wrong this time.
[06:05] ---
    Agni! Side with the kid.
[06:08] ---
    At once.
[06:13] ---
    I've finished, Prince Soma.
[06:15] ---
    Good.
[06:17] ---
    Well, then. I'm looking for someone,
    so I'll be on my way.
[06:21] ---
    Ta-ta.
[06:23] ---
    The streets of England
    are too much like a maze!
[06:26] ---
    Let's turn left next.
[06:30] ---
    That was a waste of energy.
[06:32] ---
    One of those Indians might be the criminal.
[06:36] ---
    Let's wait for Sir Arthur to contact us.
[06:39] ---
    Young master.
[06:40] ---
    Welcome home!
[06:42] ---
    Yes!
[06:42] ---
    I'll never get any peace
[06:44] ---
    if I'm called to London
    for every silly little thing.
[06:47] ---
    My lord, you're really here!
[06:51] ---
    You're just dropping in unannounced?!
[06:52] ---
    How often have I told you to at
    least send a note before you visit?!
[06:57] ---
    Ah, I vaguely remember that.
[06:58] ---
    As we have a guest, why don't I serve tea?
[07:03] ---
    Might as well.
[07:04] ---
    I'd rather have chai than English tea.
[07:06] ---
    Might as well.
[07:11] ---
    Wh-Wha...?!
[07:12] ---
    Oh, I met them on a street corner.
[07:15] ---
    They said they wanted to see you.
[07:16] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[07:18] ---
    Why, we're acquaintances now.
[07:21] ---
    Have you forgotten already?
[07:23] ---
    "Acquaintances"?
[07:24] ---
    And I saved you, too.
[07:26] ---
    "Saved"? Excuse me?!
[07:28] ---
    In India, it's the common practice to
    invite your savior home and entertain him.
[07:33] ---
    Is it the British way to kick
    one's savior out into the cold?
[07:38] ---
    Just who are you, anyhow?!
[07:41] ---
    Me?
[07:42] ---
    I'm a prince.
[07:44] ---
    Prince?
[07:45] ---
    This is the 26th child of the king of Bengal,
[07:50] ---
    Prince Soma Asman Kadar.
[07:52] ---
    Thanks for hosting me here, Shorty.
[07:55] ---
    Wow, you're a prince?!
[07:57] ---
    A-A prince!
[07:59] ---
    I've never seen a prince up close before!
[08:02] ---
    You may approach.
[08:05] ---
    What's that "Penkal" place like, yes?!
[08:08] ---
    It's a holy land blessed by the
    goddess Kali and the Ganges River.
[08:13] ---
    So you brought the other
    servants with you this time?
[08:16] ---
    Yes. Our guard dog is watching the mansion.
[08:19] ---
    Ah, that should be all right, then.
[08:24] ---
    Sebastian, don't let them out of your sight.
[08:28] ---
    Very good, my lord.
[08:32] ---
    It's time to wake up, Lord Phantomhive.
[08:35] ---
    "Lord Phantomhive"?
[08:38] ---
    Namaste jī, Lord Phantomhive.
[08:40] ---
    Wh-Why are you in my room?!
[08:43] ---
    We're going out, Shorty. Show us around town.
[08:46] ---
    Why should I?!
[08:48] ---
    And my name isn't "Shorty"! It's "Ciel"!
[08:51] ---
    All right, Ciel, I order you
    to show me around town.
[08:54] ---
    Come.
[08:55] ---
    Pardon me.
[08:57] ---
    My apologies, but my
    master's schedule for the day
[09:00] ---
    is filled with study and work.
[09:05] ---
    I shall be your tutor while
    we are in London, my lord.
[09:12] ---
    Bach's Chaconne?
[09:14] ---
    I can't play something this difficult...
[09:17] ---
    I make the rules here.
[09:19] ---
    Do you have a problem
    with my teaching methods?
[09:32] ---
    Yes, that's very good.
[09:42] ---
    What is that?
[09:47] ---
    They seem to be praying,
    but it's quite a surreal idol, isn't it?
[09:52] ---
    To me it merely looks
    like the statue of a woman
[09:56] ---
    carrying a severed head,
    wearing a necklace of severed heads,
[10:00] ---
    and dancing madly on top
    of a man's stomach...
[10:02] ---
    She is Kali, a goddess of our Hindu faith.
[10:06] ---
    A goddess of India?
[10:08] ---
    Kali is the wife of Shiva
    and the goddess of power.
[10:13] ---
    Long ago, a demon rashly
    challenged her to a fight.
[10:18] ---
    Naturally, she was victorious.
[10:21] ---
    However, afterwards her
    destructive urges were not quelled,
[10:25] ---
    and she abandoned herself
    to destruction and carnage.
[10:28] ---
    But then! To protect the earth,
[10:30] ---
    her husband Shiva threw himself at her feet!
[10:36] ---
    Treading on her husband with her unclean feet
[10:38] ---
    brought Kali back to her senses,
[10:40] ---
    and peace returned to the world.
[10:43] ---
    Kali is a great goddess who defeated
    the demon after a desperate battle.
[10:48] ---
    As proof, she carries the demon's head.
[10:51] ---
    There you have it.
[10:53] ---
    Hmm, I wasn't aware of anyone so strong.
[10:55] ---
    I'll have to take care if I travel to India.
[10:58] ---
    Now, then. Since we're done praying,
    it's time to go out!
[11:02] ---
    I told you, I'm busy!
[11:06] ---
    Honestly, when are you going to finish?
[11:10] ---
    I say, what are you doing?
[11:12] ---
    I say!
[11:14] ---
    Be quiet, you're distracting me!
[11:16] ---
    Britishers are so short-tempered.
[11:20] ---
    All right, fine!
[11:21] ---
    If you want my attention
    that badly, I'll oblige!
[11:26] ---
    Then if I win, you'll go
    out on the town with me.
[11:29] ---
    If you can win.
[11:30] ---
    I wish you luck.
[11:34] ---
    Begin!
[11:37] ---
    You're mine!
[11:40] ---
    It bent?!
[11:42] ---
    Hitting someone's legs
    with a foil has no effect.
[11:45] ---
    You're not fair! I don't know the rules!
[11:48] ---
    A fight is a fight. It's
    your fault for not knowing.
[11:52] ---
    Your Highness, look out!
[12:00] ---
    L-Lord Phantomhive! I'm so sorry.
[12:04] ---
    When I saw the prince losing,
    my reflexes took over...
[12:08] ---
    Good job protecting your
    master, Agni. I commend you.
[12:12] ---
    Agni is my khansama. He belongs to me.
[12:15] ---
    In other words, I win.
[12:17] ---
    B-But...!
[12:18] ---
    My, my.
[12:20] ---
    Butler, it looks like
    you'll have to avenge your master.
[12:26] ---
    For goodness' sake...
[12:28] ---
    This is what you get for provoking
    a novice who doesn't know the rules.
[12:32] ---
    However, as the Phantomhive butler,
[12:36] ---
    I cannot remain quiet when
    someone harms my master.
[12:41] ---
    And more importantly, we're a full
    ten minutes behind schedule now.
[12:43] ---
    That's what you really care about, isn't it?
[12:46] ---
    Interesting. All right, I'll allow a duel.
[12:50] ---
    Agni, in the name of Kali,
    make sure you don't lose.
[12:55] ---
    Sebastian, this is an
    order: shut that brat up!
[13:04] ---
    Jo ājñā.
[13:05] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[14:01] ---
    Good grief. The swords broke.
[14:03] ---
    So it's a draw.
[14:06] ---
    Your khansama's not bad, Ciel.
[14:09] ---
    A draw? Against Sebastian?!
[14:13] ---
    Agni is the best warrior in my palace.
[14:16] ---
    I've never seen anyone fight
    him on equal terms before!
[14:20] ---
    He fought a demon on equal terms...
[14:26] ---
    Sebastian, who is that man?
[14:30] ---
    Don't tell me he's another...
[14:31] ---
    I'm a more deadly efficient
    butler than I look!☆
[14:32] ---
    No, he's a deadly human.☆
[14:36] ---
    I see... But with that much power...
[14:40] ---
    Yes. He could easily hang men upside-down.
[14:46] ---
    All right! Today I'll whip up my very best--
[14:50] ---
    I'll cook.
[14:52] ---
    You behave yourself.
[14:55] ---
    Excuse me?! I was going to make my special--
[14:59] ---
    Sebastian?
[15:01] ---
    I was wondering
    if I could be of any service.
[15:04] ---
    You just relax and enjoy yourself.
[15:07] ---
    Two can work much faster than one.
[15:10] ---
    Please, ask me for anything.
[15:12] ---
    In that case, could you make a cottage pie
[15:14] ---
    and some gooseberry sauce
    for tonight's main dish?
[15:18] ---
    Of course.
[15:19] ---
    Hey! Why are you letting
    him cook but not the chef?!
[15:23] ---
    Hey, are you listening to me?!
[15:24] ---
    So much to do, so much to do...
[15:35] ---
    Chef? Mr. Chef?
[15:38] ---
    "Chef"? You mean me?!
[15:41] ---
    Yes.
[15:43] ---
    Chef...
[15:45] ---
    I'm not accustomed to English cooking.
[15:48] ---
    Might I ask for your help?
[15:50] ---
    S-Sure! Leave it to me!
[15:57] ---
    What's for supper?
[15:59] ---
    Perfect timing, young man!
[16:02] ---
    Would you help us prepare the evening meal?
[16:04] ---
    What? Me?
[16:06] ---
    But I don't know my own strength,
[16:09] ---
    so Sebastian says I can't
    touch the kitchen stuff...
[16:12] ---
    So you're strong. Excellent!
[16:14] ---
    We need to mash and
    then puree these potatoes,
[16:17] ---
    but it's a lot of work.
[16:19] ---
    Even I might be able to do that!
[16:22] ---
    I want to! Please let me!
[16:30] ---
    Look out!
[16:33] ---
    Are you hurt, Miss Maid?
[16:35] ---
    No, no!
[16:37] ---
    Perhaps it would be best if you
    took down the plates one at a time.
[16:42] ---
    Y-Yes, yes!
[16:44] ---
    How is it coming along, Agni?
[16:54] ---
    Thanks to everyone's help,
    I believe it will be delicious.
[17:01] ---
    I'm amazed you got them to help.
[17:05] ---
    Everyone is born with their own talents.
[17:09] ---
    They have a path and a duty
    revealed by the gods.
[17:12] ---
    We children of the Divine Mother
    need only to follow her will
[17:15] ---
    and do our appointed tasks.
[17:17] ---
    You are a man of fine character.
[17:20] ---
    Not at all.
[17:21] ---
    I was a hopeless
    fool before I met the prince.
[17:27] ---
    I owe him more than I can ever repay.
[17:30] ---
    I hurt people, blasphemed against the gods,
[17:34] ---
    committed crime upon crime.
[17:36] ---
    And the day finally came
    for me to be punished.
[17:42] ---
    I had no particular attachment to this world.
[17:45] ---
    You there! I hear you're a wild
    man as strong as a beast of prey.
[17:49] ---
    Interesting!
[17:57] ---
    As of now, the man you were is dead.
[18:00] ---
    It's time to be reborn with
    a new name and a new life!
[18:03] ---
    I didn't even believe in the gods.
[18:06] ---
    I had forsaken everything, and yet...
[18:08] ---
    Do you understand, Agni?
[18:11] ---
    A god appeared before me!
[18:14] ---
    That day, I plainly saw the divine in him,
[18:17] ---
    in all its sublime radiance!
[18:21] ---
    Agni, your pot is boiling over.
[18:23] ---
    The prince is my sovereign and my god.
[18:26] ---
    He gave me new life; I want
    to protect him with my life
[18:30] ---
    and make as many of his
    wishes as I can come true.
[18:36] ---
    The actual gods are a bunch of
    good-for-nothings, if you ask me.
[18:41] ---
    Pardon?
[18:42] ---
    Oh, nothing.
[18:49] ---
    How long do you people intend to stay here?!
[18:52] ---
    We'll leave when our business is finished.
[18:54] ---
    Come to think of it, you said you
    were searching for someone, right?
[18:57] ---
    And why are you staying here too?
[18:59] ---
    An interesting question.
[19:01] ---
    I'm looking for a woman.
[19:03] ---
    Her name is Mina.
[19:05] ---
    She was a servant at my palace.
[19:07] ---
    Sebastian, does that
    give you enough to find her?
[19:11] ---
    Even I can't do much with this...
[19:14] ---
    I'll try my best.
[19:15] ---
    And? What is she doing in England?
[19:18] ---
    Mina was my attendant...
[19:21] ---
    more or less my nursemaid.
[19:23] ---
    She'd been with me ever
    since I could remember.
[19:26] ---
    My father and mother
    never even looked my way.
[19:30] ---
    I was always alone in the palace...
[19:32] ---
    But Mina always stayed at my side.
[19:36] ---
    But... a British nobleman with his eye on her
[19:40] ---
    kidnapped her and took her
    to England while I was away!
[19:44] ---
    In other words, you came
    here to get this woman back?
[19:48] ---
    Yes. I'll get her back and bring
    her home with me, no matter what!
[19:51] ---
    That's a lot of fuss over one servant.
[19:54] ---
    No, it's not!
[19:57] ---
    Can you even comprehend my
    despair at being separated from her?!
[20:00] ---
    Can you imagine how much I--
[20:02] ---
    No, I can't.
[20:03] ---
    The kind of trifling despair
    something like that could inspire?
[20:09] ---
    I can't understand it, and I don't care to.
[20:16] ---
    Some things no amount
    of struggling will get back.
[20:20] ---
    And some despair can't ever be escaped.
[20:24] ---
    Maybe you can't understand that, though.
[20:30] ---
    But... But still, I don't want this!
[20:34] ---
    I don't want to be alone in that palace!
[20:37] ---
    No amount of struggling will get it back.
[20:50] ---
    Even you must know how to play Old Maid.
[20:56] ---
    I'm finished for today.
[20:59] ---
    I'll play with you until bedtime.
[21:03] ---
    Ciel...
[21:04] ---
    It's not to make you happy.
[21:07] ---
    I'm just keeping you
    company because I'm bored.
[21:13] ---
    Sorry, but I have plans.
[21:17] ---
    Unlike you, I'm a busy man.
[21:19] ---
    Agni! We're going out.
[21:21] ---
    Yes, Your Highness.
[21:28] ---
    If you don't go to bed early,
    you'll never get taller, Shorty!
[21:32] ---
    Ta-ta!
[21:38] ---
    Oh, there you are. Say, my lord...
[21:42] ---
    What?!
[21:44] ---
    No clues today either, eh?
[21:46] ---
    Let's go looking again tomorrow.
[21:52] ---
    So they're back.
[21:53] ---
    I have to say those two are very suspicious.
[21:56] ---
    Well, yes, but I don't see how
    they'd benefit from those crimes.
[22:01] ---
    They don't seem to bear much
    of a grudge over colonial rule.
[22:06] ---
    And if they are doing it,
[22:08] ---
    would they waltz right by me on
    their way to commit the crimes?
[22:12] ---
    It's like begging me to suspect them.
[22:14] ---
    True. Then maybe they really
    are just looking for someone?
[22:19] ---
    It's still too soon to say.
[22:28] ---
    I knew he'd make a move.
[24:05] ---
    The true face of Agni that no one knows...
[24:08] ---
    A deer?
[24:10] ---
    No matter what reasons he may have,
[24:12] ---
    hiding things from his master
    disqualifies him as a butler.
[24:15] ---
    There's nothing hidden behind my face.
[24:19] ---
    If you like, you can peel it off and see.
[24:22] ---
    Here we go-- peel!
[24:24] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Supremely Talented."
[24:26] ---
    "Next time" "His Butler, Supremely Talented."
