**[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."
