[02:03] Sullivan
    Here I am.
[02:08] Wolfram
    Young mistress?!
[02:10] Wolfram
    Where's your hair?
[02:12] Sullivan
    I won't have ladies waiting on me
    from now on, so I'm making a fresh start.
[02:17] Sullivan
    Well? Does it suit me?
[02:19] Wolfram
    Yes, it's soot.
[02:21] Ciel
    You mean "It suits."
[02:22] Sebastian
    All that refinement, gone.
[02:25] Nina
    This Alice Liddell style is all the rage
    with the girls of London!
[02:30] Nina
    Women's hairstyles and
    lifestyles ought to be freer.
[02:35] Sebastian
    As I've repeatedly told you, we'd like you
     to prioritise class over "the rage."
[02:38] Nina
    Mr. Hardheaded, you're still here?
[02:45] Sebastian
    Well, nothing we can do now.
    Shall we return to the manor, my lord?
[02:52] Nina
    Look forward to the finished dress!
[02:57] Agni
    Welcome back, everyone.
[03:00] Soma
    Ciel!
[03:02] Soma
    You went on a trip to Germany?
[03:04] Soma
    Why didn't you invite me?!
[03:06] Soma
    And you brought back
    a new concubine, you sly fellow.
[03:12] Soma
    Hmm, she's a very different type to Lizzie.
[03:16] Sullivan
    Concubine?
[03:18] Sullivan
    So that's what you were after.
[03:21] Ciel
    I was not!
[03:22] Soma
    Well, any guest of Ciel's is a guest of mine.
[03:25] Soma
    Make us a feast tonight, Agni.
[03:28] Agni
    Jo ājñā.
[03:29] Sebastian
    You must all be tired after your journey.
[03:32] Sebastian
    I'll serve afternoon tea right away.
[03:36] Sebastian
    Today's tea is a Vikkens Earl Grey.
[03:40] Sebastian
    Accompaniments include an orange
    almond cake and a berry tart.
[03:48] Sullivan
    They all look yummy.
[03:50] Sullivan
    Time to eat—
[03:51] Sebastian
    And stop.
[03:51] Sullivan
    Ouch!
[03:53] Sebastian
    Miss Sullivan, your lessons to prepare for tea
     with the Queen have officially begun.
[04:00] Sebastian
    We do not use informal words such as "yummy."
[04:04] Sebastian
    We do not touch sugar with bare fingers.
[04:06] Sebastian
    We most certainly do not reach 
    for cake before it is offered to us.
[04:10] Sullivan
    What?!
[04:11] Sebastian
    Starting now, you will be undergoing a week
     of lessons to turn you into a proper lady.
[04:18] Sebastian
    We'll begin with tea party manners.
[04:21] Sebastian
    There will be no cakes
    until you've mastered manners.
[04:24] Sullivan
    O-Oh, no!
[04:27] Sign
    Hey, you! 
    You're making the young mistress cry! A cake would—
[04:30] Sebastian
    Wolfram.
[04:31] Sign
    What?
[04:32] Sebastian
    Please make your complaints in English.
[04:34] Sebastian
    I'm willing to hear you out if you do.
[04:37] Sign
    Words... Dictionary...
[04:40] Sullivan
    Ciel, say something!
[04:44] Soma
    Yes, do! He's scary, and I feel sorry for her!
[04:47] Ciel
    If I spoil you, you'll never make progress.
[04:51] Ciel
    Do your best.
[05:01] Sebastian
    We do not make noise consuming our soup.
[05:03] Sebastian
    That bite is too big. Be more decorous.
[05:06] Sullivan
    Another helping!
[05:07] Sebastian
    Ladies are not permitted more helpings.
[05:09] Sebastian
    Don't do it, Agni.
[05:11] Sullivan
    Tomorrow, I want—
    No, I should prefer to have pork.
[05:14] Sebastian
    Please do not express opinions
    about the menu while you are a guest.
[05:18] Sebastian
    As it happens, tomorrow,
     you'll be learning how to eat fish.
[05:23] Sign
    Hey, you! The young mistress—
[05:24] Sebastian
    In English, please.
[05:31] Sullivan
    There are more rules now
    than before I left the village!
[05:34] Ciel
    You can go back there if you like.
[05:37] Sullivan
    Is that how you speak to your friends?
[05:39] Sullivan
    Does ice run through your veins?
[05:41] Ciel
    Just blood.
[05:44] Sullivan
    Never mind! I won't look to you for help!
[05:47] Ciel
    Perfect.
[05:50] Sullivan
    Hmph!
[05:56] Ciel
    What is it? Didn't you just say
    you wouldn't look to me for help?
[05:59] Ciel
    Oh, it's you.
[06:03] Sebastian
    It wouldn't hurt you to lend an ear, my lord.
[06:08] Ciel
    To her unproductive griping?
[06:10] Ciel
    She's your responsibility.
[06:13] Ciel
    I'm busy with all the work
    that piled up in our absence.
[06:19] Sebastian
    Is that so, my lord?
[06:22] Ciel
    Yes.
[06:28] Sebastian
    You must greet Her Majesty
     with a full curtsy.
[06:32] Sebastian
    Wolfram, you support her.
[06:34] Wolfram
    You can do it!
[06:39] Sebastian
    Pull in your chin and
    smile without showing your teeth.
[06:43] Sullivan
    Goof affer'oon, Your Mafeffy.
[06:49] Sebastian
    Well, it will do.
[06:51] Sebastian
    Your diction is a touch off, however.
[06:55] Sebastian
    I have an idea.
[06:59] Sullivan
    What ish dis?
[07:01] Sebastian
    This is so that you can see
    your tongue as you practice.
[07:06] Sebastian
    Watch carefully in the mirror.
[07:08] Sebastian
    Once you've mastered it, we'll have tea.
[07:15] Sebastian
    Tip of your tongue to your palate.
[07:24] Sebastian
    Curve the tip of your tongue more.
[07:27] Sebastian
    Miss Sullivan?
[07:37] Sebastian
    Miss Sullivan?
[07:39] Wolfram
    Young 'istresh!
[07:50] Ciel
    What is that?
[07:52] Ciel
    Hey!
[07:52] Ciel
    Oi!
[08:02] Ciel
    I-I'm sorry. Are you all right?
[08:06] Sullivan
    What is wrong with him?!
[08:08] Sullivan
    He propped open my innocent, maidenly mouth!
[08:10] Sullivan
    What does he mean to put in it?!
[08:13] Ciel
    Pardon?
[08:13] Elizabeth
    Ciel! I heard you were back
    from abroad, so I came to vi—
[08:24] Ciel
    I know this looks bad, Lizzie, but listen—
[08:27] Elizabeth
    So this is the "business"
    that took you to Germany?
[08:44] Sebastian
    Pardon me, my lady.
    There is a perfectly good reason for this.
[08:50] Elizabeth
    Oh, so that's what happened.
[08:52] Elizabeth
    I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
    I'm so embarrassed!
[08:56] Elizabeth
    I was about to give Ciel a scolding.
[08:59] Elizabeth
    I'm sorry.
[09:01] Ciel
    It's fine.
[09:03] Ciel
    I felt in less mortal danger
    facing down the tank.
[09:07] Elizabeth
    But Ciel...
[09:08] Elizabeth
    It's cruel of you to make your friend
    do such harsh lessons on her own.
[09:12] Ciel
    What?
[09:13] Elizabeth
    As usual, you don't understand
    a girl's feelings at all.
[09:17] Elizabeth
    Tough lessons like that can be fun
    if we encourage each other through them.
[09:22] Ciel
    Th-They can?
[09:24] Elizabeth
    I know! Why don't we all take
    the lessons together today?
[09:28] Soma
    Wonderful idea!
[09:29] Ciel
    What?
[09:30] Ciel
    Why would I take them? 
    Manners differ between the sexes, and—
[09:33] Elizabeth
    This is what we do for our friends.
[09:37] Elizabeth
    You're lucky! Every girl in England
    wants an invitation to a Drawing Room.
[09:43] Elizabeth
    Let's work hard and become ladies together.
[09:47] Sullivan
    R-Right.
[09:49] Elizabeth
    Now, call me Lizzie.
[09:52] Elizabeth
    And may I call you Siggie?
[09:54] Sullivan
    A-All right.
[09:56] Elizabeth
    Now, with that settled...
[09:58] Elizabeth
    It's time for lessons!
[09:59] Sullivan; Soma; Elizabeth
    Yay!
[10:04] Elizabeth
    Ciel, do it more gracefully and cutely.
[10:07] Ciel
    How am I supposed to do that?
[10:13] Sebastian
    Young master, I recall you mastering this
    before we visited the viscount's estate.
[10:21] Ciel
    Oi! That was—
[10:24] Sullivan
    I'm better at this than you are, Ciel.
[10:26] Ciel
    I beg your pardon?
[10:27] Soma
    All right, it's my turn next!
[10:30] Elizabeth
    You're so silly!
[10:36] Ciel
    I'm so tired.
[10:39] Ciel
    Lizzie lectured me, too. What an awful day.
[10:42] (Flashback) Elizabeth
    I bet you've been so preoccupied with work,
     you've left poor Siggie entirely to Sebastian.
[10:49] Sebastian
    I did say you ought to be
    a little more sympathetic to her.
[10:57] Ciel
    I did those lessons alone.
[11:00] Sebastian
    Your sensibilities aren't like
    normal people's, young master.
[11:04] Sebastian
    It would be unfair to
    expect others to be at your level.
[11:08] Ciel
    You're treating me like I'm cold-hearted, too?
[11:14] Sebastian
    It wasn't a criticism.
[11:17] Sebastian
    But if you know how you're perceived,
    then be a bit more considerate of others.
[11:22] Sebastian
    You're a leader, after all.
[11:26] Ciel
    You don't understand people's
    feelings any better than I do.
[11:29] Ciel
    You're a beast who'll commit
    any atrocity he's ordered to.
[11:34] Sebastian
    You wound me. I consider myself
    a most loyal and obedient butler.
[11:42] Ciel
    It wasn't a criticism.
[11:47] Phips
    I take it you are Miss Sieglinde Sullivan,
    the lady to be presented to Her Majesty today?
[11:53] Grey
    Please follow us.
[11:56] Sullivan
    R-Right!
[11:58] Wolfram
    Young mistress is nerved.
[12:00] Ciel
    It's "nervous."
[12:08] Grey
    You aren't coming?
[12:10] Sebastian
    No. My young master has given me an errand.
[12:16] Grey
    Fine by me.
[12:56] Sullivan
    It's an honour to meet you, Your Majesty.
[12:59] Sullivan
    My name is Sieglinde Sullivan.
[13:03] Victoria
    My, what a sweet curtsy.
[13:06] Victoria
    It's good to meet you, little witch.
[13:15] Victoria
    Welcome to England. I'm glad you're here.
[13:20] Victoria
    There's a very special tea
    waiting for us. Come, this way.
[13:27] Victoria
    All of Phips' cakes are delicious.
    Please choose whichever you'd like.
[13:32] Ciel
    Just one.
[13:34] Sullivan
    I know that!
[13:36] Victoria
    Do you take sugar in your tea, my dear witch?
[13:38] Sullivan
    Just one, please.
[13:40] Victoria
    Now, my boy, would you
     tell me about your trip?
[13:44] Ciel
    Yes, ma'am.
[13:46] Ciel
    The "curse of the Werewolves' Forest"
     proved to be a toxic gas
[13:49] Ciel
    whose development was halted
    in England due to its great danger.
[13:53] Ciel
    It's known as "mustard gas."
[13:55] Ciel
    The German army was just at
    the point of deploying it in battle.
[14:00] Ciel
    It was the Emerald Witch—namely
    Miss Sullivan here—who made it all possible.
[14:05] Ciel
    I feel certain her mind will contribute
     greatly to England's progress.
[14:13] Victoria
    So the little witch is
    quite talented in her art.
[14:17] Victoria
    I wonder if a witch as talented
     as you might be able...
[14:22] Victoria
    to wield even greater magic than that?
[14:33] Sullivan
    No, Your Majesty.
[14:39] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Talk about what?
[14:40] (Flashback) Ciel
    Back in the forest, as we fled,
[14:42] (Flashback) Ciel
    you said you wanted to try to make
     a magical cure that could save people.
[14:47] (Flashback) Ciel
    Is that resolve still firm?
[14:49] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Of course it is.
[14:50] (Flashback) Ciel
    Then when presented to the Queen tomorrow,
    give the instructions for making mustard gas.
[14:57] (Flashback) Ciel
    If you do that, England will be
    forced to treat you cordially.
[15:01] (Flashback) Ciel
    And I'm certain they already know
     you can make mustard gas.
[15:05] (Flashback) Wolfram
    Wait! But if she does that, she'll be
    used again to create more toxic gas!
[15:09] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Wolfram.
[15:11] (Flashback) Sebastian
    I believe it's up to Miss Sullivan
    whether to use or be used.
[15:16] (Flashback) Sebastian
    She possesses a rare talent,
    as well as information
[15:21] (Flashback) Sebastian
    that she can use to negotiate
    her status internationally.
[15:26] (Flashback) Sebastian
    It's up to her whether she uses
     those things effectively.
[15:31] (Flashback) Wolfram
    But...
[15:32] (Flashback) Ciel
    If you want to take him and go live
    the quiet life of a country doctor,
[15:37] (Flashback) Ciel
    I won't stop you.
[15:39] (Flashback) Ciel
    Because you're my friend.
[15:42] (Flashback) Ciel
    However, because I'm your friend,
[15:46] (Flashback) Ciel
    I know you can't stop learning.
[15:49] (Flashback) Ciel
    New knowledge. New discoveries.
[15:53] (Flashback) Ciel
    The more you make them, the more you'll want
    to develop them to create something new.
[15:58] (Flashback) Sullivan
    New knowledge...
[16:02] (Flashback) Ciel
    But doing that takes money.
[16:05] (Flashback) Ciel
    The kind of money that operated Wolfsschlucht,
    in fact. An amount only a state could muster.
[16:10] (Flashback) Ciel
    I highly doubt this great oaf
    could put together such a sum.
[16:15] (Flashback) Ciel
    Your mind and your information
    are the sum of your wealth right now.
[16:19] (Flashback) Ciel
    You'll need to start there.
[16:22] (Flashback) Ciel
    However...
[16:23] (Flashback) Ciel
    Don't tell anyone about
    the new gas you created. The sulin.
[16:30] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Sulin is far more lethal
    than ordinary mustard gas.
[16:35] (Flashback) Sebastian
    If England were to use it...
[16:38] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Well, you're clever enough
    to know what would happen.
[16:48] (Flashback) Ciel
    Sulin won't save anyone
    in this world. Not even you.
[16:53] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Very well. I'll take sulin to my grave.
[16:58] (Flashback) Ciel
    Remember this: From now on, consider
    everyone an enemy who wants to use you.
[17:04] (Flashback) Ciel
    Even me.
[17:06] (Flashback) Ciel
    Plan on using all of them.
[17:11] (Flashback) Ciel
    Use them to build the future you want.
[17:20] Victoria
    I see. That's a relief, isn't it?
[17:24] Ciel
    You have a second sight that
    never fails to amaze me, ma'am.
[17:30] Ciel
    I was shocked to find out
    that the "curse" was a toxic gas.
[17:35] Victoria
    You flatter me, my boy.
     I simply don't like being afraid.
[17:43] Ciel
    I'd like Sullivan's mind to
    be put to use saving people.
[17:49] Ciel
    She has worked hard for
    her people from a young age.
[17:54] Ciel
    She should be able to
    guarantee brilliant results.
[17:57] Victoria
    Yes, she has unlimited potential.
[18:02] Sullivan
    Thank you, ma'am.
    England welcomed my butler and myself.
[18:07] Sullivan
    I swear to be useful to her people—
    no, to all the people of the world.
[18:13] Victoria
    Oh, how wonderful. Truly.
[18:17] Victoria
    England's future is bright.
[18:20] Victoria
    You've done splendid work, my boy.
[18:24] Ciel
    You're too kind.
[18:25] Victoria
    I'm sure your parents in heaven are pleased,
[18:29] Victoria
    along with my Albert.
[18:32] Victoria
    Oh, Albert! Please watch over me, too!
[18:40] John
    "You work hard every day, Victoria."
[18:42] Victoria
    Oh, Albert! You're here!
[18:45] Ciel
    Pay no attention. It's always like this.
[18:48] John
    "Ciel grows more like his papa
     every day, doesn't he?"
[18:52] Victoria
    He does. I find it most promising.
[18:56] Ciel
    Thank you, ma'am.
[19:01] Sebastian
    Welcome back.
[19:03] Ciel
    Did you carry out your orders?
[19:04] Sebastian
    I did.
[19:09] Ciel
    That was exhausting.
    I want to go home and sleep at once.
[19:14] Sebastian
    They do say a good night's sleep helps one grow.
[19:19] Sebastian
    Is there something on my face?
[19:21] Ciel
    No, it's nothing.
[19:44] (Flashback) Undertaker
    My lord.
[19:58] (Flashback) Undertaker
    No.
[20:01] (Flashback) Undertaker
    Not yet.
[20:03] (Flashback) Undertaker
    Sleep a little longer.
[20:08] (Flashback) Undertaker
    It's still a bit too early to wake up.
[20:20] Ciel
    Sebastian.
[20:22] Sebastian
    You were tossing and turning so awfully,
    I was about to wake you.
[20:26] Sebastian
    Are you all right?
[20:28] Ciel
    Y-Yes.
[20:35] Ciel
    I'm all right.
[20:37] Sebastian
    Another bad dream, my lord?
[20:40] Ciel
    No.
[20:43] Ciel
    I'm all right.
[20:58] Ciel
    It's nothing.
[23:15] Sebastian
    A letter for you, young master.
[23:19] Ciel
    All right. Set it down there.
[23:25] Ciel
    It's from the Queen?
