[00:18] ---
Oh, now this is a nicely mangled corpse.
[00:23] ---
Instead of covering up these wounds,
[00:25] ---
maybe I should accentuate them
with pink dye, like flower petals.
[00:30] ---
Ah, what fun it is to be an undertaker!
[00:38] ---
Now then, who do we have next?
[00:42] ---
This corpse is a bit unsatisfying...
no, very unsatisfying.
[00:46] ---
He's got such a weak mouth
for someone who didn't drown...
[00:54] ---
What did you just say?!
[01:09] ---
"Black Butler"
[01:13] ---
Since then, I've actually
come to like the night somewhat
[01:20] ---
In a sea of dependence,
I forget even to breathe
[01:25] ---
When I'm right on the verge
of losing my head over you
[01:28] ---
You just leave me lukewarm
[01:32] ---
The aesthetic of leave-taking
despises a self-satisfied kiss
[01:40] ---
Don't leave me alone, show me
compassion, paint me with death
[01:46] ---
In your room, all words slip away
[01:52] ---
I want to end like this, cloaked
[01:58] ---
But the night ignores that
wish and brings morning
[02:05] ---
With your gentle,
passionate, and dastardly kiss
[02:12] ---
Paint this final night
[02:15] ---
The moon illuminates us
[02:30] ---
"His Butler, Offering"
[02:42] ---
This morning you have a dance
lesson with Mrs. Bright,
[02:46] ---
and this afternoon Lord Wensler,
who has an import-export business...
[02:50] ---
Are you listening, young master?
[02:52] ---
I told you, I'm sick of dancing.
[02:55] ---
I'm not cut out for it.
[02:57] ---
You are too modest.
[02:58] ---
Your dancing soothes the
hearts of those who watch.
[03:02] ---
You mean it makes them laugh.
[03:07] ---
I would never say such a thing.
[03:16] ---
Look, Tanaka, there are
three upright tea stalks!
[03:20] ---
It promises to be a good day!
[03:24] ---
You're...
[03:27] ---
...Her Majesty's butler?!
[03:30] ---
Ah, Lord Phantomhive.
I apologize for this embarrassing display.
[03:35] ---
Why is the Queen's butler
drinking tea in my mansion?
[03:39] ---
You didn't know, young master?
[03:42] ---
Ash has been the one
[03:45] ---
delivering Her Majesty's
orders all this time.
[03:49] ---
That's no job for a butler...
[03:51] ---
A butler who can't...
[03:54] ---
...use Her Majesty's naptime to check the
Doomsday Book for those requesting an audience,
[03:57] ---
come straight to deliver an
envelope to Lord Phantomhive,
[03:59] ---
and stop for an elegant tea with
Tanaka while he's at it isn't worth his salt.
[04:04] ---
Somehow I doubt the tea bit
is really a requirement.
[04:10] ---
Might I ask what brings you here today?
[04:14] ---
Ah, yes.
[04:17] ---
Outside of Preston there's a Catholic abbey
[04:21] ---
that was burned down during the
Reformation, and is no longer in use.
[04:25] ---
A cult espousing deviant
doctrines is gathering there.
[04:34] ---
We have heard that its leader has
the Doomsday Books of all followers.
[04:40] ---
You mean the land registers,
[04:42] ---
where their livestock and
property are recorded?
[04:44] ---
But why would he want to know that?
[04:48] ---
No, the Doomsday Books they revere
[04:52] ---
are of a different sort.
[04:56] ---
They are registers required when you stand
[05:00] ---
before the Lord in heaven on
Doomsday... the Day of Judgment.
[05:04] ---
All your sins and good works
are supposedly recorded there.
[05:15] ---
The occult again?
[05:17] ---
There are rumors that they plan
to revolt against the government.
[05:23] ---
Her Majesty laments that
the people of Preston
[05:27] ---
are quaking in fear of these heretics.
[05:31] ---
And? Are you telling me to disperse them,
[05:36] ---
or to eradicate them?
[05:40] ---
We leave that decision to you.
[05:45] ---
Very well.
[05:50] ---
Pluto?
[06:02] ---
Who is that?
[06:04] ---
Just a servant.
[06:06] ---
I see. He seems amusing.
[06:15] ---
Well, what now?
SIGN "Victoria Sponge Cake"
[06:18] ---
According to Ash, the
abbey is heavily guarded.
[06:24] ---
So it would be difficult to
go in through the front door...
[06:28] ---
Incidentally, he also mentioned
that a large number of coffins
[06:31] ---
have been delivered there in recent days.
[06:37] ---
Coffins?
[06:44] ---
I'm coming in!
[06:47] ---
Welcome.
[06:49] ---
I have a favor to ask, Undertaker.
[06:52] ---
In that case...
[06:56] ---
Give me prime romance!
[07:03] ---
Grell?!
[07:05] ---
Hello, my lord.
[07:08] ---
Undertaker?
[07:11] ---
The bounder told me he wasn't
afraid of grim reapers,
[07:14] ---
so I buried him in salt.
[07:16] ---
Oh, I just love the sensation
[07:19] ---
of all the moisture in my
body leeching out of my skin!
[07:23] ---
A dangerous game.
[07:25] ---
What are you doing here?!
[07:27] ---
Will's having me do a bit of investigating.
[07:30] ---
But there was just no information,
[07:33] ---
and I got hungry and sleepy...
[07:36] ---
So I took a nap in a flowerbed,
[07:39] ---
and woke up to find myself here.
[07:42] ---
Perhaps I shouldn't have
stopped breathing while I slept?
[07:46] ---
I was waiting for a prince to come
wake me with a kiss (with tongue)!
[07:51] ---
What are you investigating?
[07:52] ---
Oh, we've had some Cinematic
Records stolen lately.
[08:00] ---
Cinematic Records?
[08:02] ---
Not something a kid needs to know about.
[08:04] ---
They're reels of film containing
all memories of a person's life.
[08:08] ---
Grim reapers extract them
from those on the To-Die list,
[08:11] ---
replay them, and decide whether
they will live or die.
[08:13] ---
Just so we're clear, you humans
can only see them when you die.
[08:19] ---
Are Records the sort of
things that can be "stolen"?
[08:23] ---
Mmm... They're stored in the
library when we're not using them.
[08:28] ---
The full pasts of all people now living--
[08:30] ---
in other words, of everyone on the
To-Die list: all the crimes, everything...
[08:35] ---
...in the form of books.
[08:39] ---
So they're books made in
preparation for Doomsday.
[08:43] ---
That rings a bell, doesn't it?
[08:46] ---
Undertaker, there's something
I want your help with.
[08:51] ---
Then give me prime laughter...
[08:55] ---
On second thought, I'll do
this one free of charge.
[09:06] ---
I've come to deliver the coffin you ordered.
[09:11] ---
Coffin, Sir?
[09:13] ---
No one informed me of this...
[09:16] ---
I have the order right here...
[09:18] ---
Hmm, where did I put it?
[09:21] ---
Here? No, here?
[09:28] ---
All right. Please come in, then.
[09:31] ---
And you, as well.
[09:35] ---
Well, I'll be off, then.
[09:38] ---
I've finished what I came to do.
[09:42] ---
I see. Thank you.
[09:45] ---
May your soul be cleansed.
[09:53] ---
I thought it was supposed
to be difficult to get in here.
[09:57] ---
Yes, I was under that impression...
[10:07] ---
Perfect smiles.
[10:10] ---
Shouldn't that be educational for you,
since you've forgotten how?
[10:14] ---
Don't be dull.
[10:16] ---
Those smiles are fake.
[10:45] ---
Young master?
[10:48] ---
Good evening!
[10:49] ---
Good evening!
[10:51] ---
Another wonderful day today, wasn't it?
[10:53] ---
Well, aren't you cute?
[10:56] ---
I don't really do kids, though.
[10:59] ---
Hello, unclean one!
You're impure through and through, I see.
[11:04] ---
What?!
[11:05] ---
Hmm? What's the matter, unclean one?
[11:07] ---
Are you ill?
[11:09] ---
You little brat! Who are
you calling "unclean"?!
[11:13] ---
Wah! An unclean one touched me!
[11:15] ---
We need to be cleansed!
[11:17] ---
Get back here!
[11:19] ---
Another unclean one!
[11:26] ---
Everyone over a certain
age is called "unclean."
[11:33] ---
I see from your clothing
that you're a new convert.
[11:36] ---
Don't worry. If you study
the teachings of our leader,
[11:40] ---
your body will be cleansed.
[11:42] ---
I say! Is this place--
[11:45] ---
Unclean? A funny thing to say.
[11:48] ---
I can't believe a beautiful
lady like yourself is impure.
[11:57] ---
I don't know anything about your sect yet.
[12:01] ---
Would you mind telling me?
[12:04] ---
All right... But then why did you come here?
[12:11] ---
A bug.
[12:17] ---
You'll tell me, won't you?
[12:22] ---
--Oh, stop, you'll make me impure!
[12:25] ---
--Whatever... do you... mean?
[12:30] ---
I didn't know he used this approach.
[12:34] ---
I'll put that wench on the To-Die list!
[12:38] ---
Hey.
[12:38] ---
Oh, I can see the gates of heaven!
[12:44] ---
It just smells wrong.
[12:47] ---
What?!
[12:50] ---
The Doomsday Books of those who
have lived a long time are impure.
[12:54] ---
Our leader cleanses the unclean passages.
[13:00] ---
And we're told not only the past,
[13:04] ---
but the future is recorded there.
[13:07] ---
The future, eh?
[13:10] ---
Yes. But only the chosen children
[13:13] ---
of the heavenly choir can be told it.
[13:17] ---
The heavenly choir?
[13:19] ---
What, do they sing hymns?
[13:21] ---
I believe "sing" may not be the right word...
[13:27] ---
But I hear beautiful voices
from our leader's bedchamber...
[13:33] ---
If only young boys are chosen
for the heavenly choir,
[13:37] ---
that means you are the only one
who can get close to their leader.
[13:42] ---
Rubbish!
[13:43] ---
I could easily get into
the heavenly choir!☆
[13:48] ---
Well? How do I look?
[13:50] ---
Wah! You'll make me impure!
[13:53] ---
Why, you...
[13:59] ---
Oh, it's time for our
leader's cleansing ceremony.
[14:04] ---
Cleansing?
[14:07] ---
I was right; it smells.
[14:15] ---
What is it?
[14:17] ---
Oh, I just smelled a rotten apple
[14:21] ---
fallen from a tree, that's all.
[15:02] ---
Here, tonight, the sinful
unclean shall be made pure.
[15:20] ---
Are those Cinematic Records?
[15:25] ---
Too far away to tell.
[15:28] ---
I shall read the Doomsday Books
of these impure, lost children.
[15:33] ---
Jill Peasant.
[15:34] ---
The second daughter of a farmer,
she conceived a child at fifteen.
[15:39] ---
Thomas Atkins.
[15:41] ---
No especially evil deeds,
[15:43] ---
but he has spent his life meaninglessly.
[15:45] ---
That is a grave sin.
[15:57] ---
I say!
[16:15] ---
This is...
[16:17] ---
Snuff out the unworthy.
Snuff out the unnecessary.
[16:20] ---
Snuff out the unfruitful.
Snuff out the unclean!
[16:39] ---
Now nothing unclean exists on this dais.
[16:44] ---
They are our brother and
sister, made pure as snow!
[16:51] ---
Leader! Leader!
[16:54] ---
What a blessing!
[17:07] ---
Something's off.
[17:09] ---
Those books weren't Cinematic Records.
[17:14] ---
Then he doesn't have the
power to see the past?
[17:20] ---
Ah, you're still here!
[17:23] ---
The heavens have smiled upon you!
[17:28] ---
St-Stop! I'll do it myself!
[17:31] ---
Nonsense. You've been chosen
for the heavenly choir,
[17:35] ---
so we must cleanse you from head to toe!
[17:37] ---
Oh, such unblemished skin!
[17:40] ---
D-Don't touch me!
[17:41] ---
Don't worry, we've already been cleansed.
[17:45] ---
That's not the issue!
[17:47] ---
Pardon me. I'll take care of the rest.
[17:49] ---
We can't allow that. You're still unclean...
[17:53] ---
Am I impure?
[17:56] ---
Maybe you're not...
[17:58] ---
Certainly not!
[18:01] ---
You're getting carried away today.
[18:04] ---
No, my lord, I simply wish to
make sure everything goes smoothly.
[18:08] ---
I have no intention of
exposing you to danger.
[18:14] ---
I never thought I'd hear you say that.
[18:18] ---
Even if the Doomsday Books
in that ceremony were fakes,
[18:23] ---
it doesn't change the fact that
they have some sort of power.
[18:28] ---
Unclean...
[18:31] ---
The doll called me that.
[18:34] ---
And there's this...
[18:38] ---
This mark that cast me into hell
[18:41] ---
is my only spider's thread right now.
[18:46] ---
Do you truly believe that grasping
it will let you crawl out of hell?
[18:52] ---
No, I'm not crawling up.
[18:55] ---
I'll grasp it and use it to drag
them down
[18:59] ---
into the hell I suffer.
[19:03] ---
I expect nothing less from my master.
[19:05] ---
There's only one thing you
should be saying to me now.
[19:10] ---
"Yes, my lord."
[19:25] ---
We've brought him.
[19:28] ---
Leave us.
[19:36] ---
You look divine, Ciel.
[19:40] ---
Come this way.
[19:49] ---
I am honored that you have chosen me.
[19:58] ---
I'll read you a book.
[20:01] ---
Sir, what is a "Doomsday Book"?
[20:06] ---
I'll read to you... until you fall asleep.
[20:12] ---
Tonight is a treat.
[20:16] ---
Mother said she'll let me sleep
in her bed tonight as a treat!
[20:21] ---
She'll read me a book, too!
[20:23] ---
And then--
[20:25] ---
I'll read to you until you fall asleep.
[20:29] ---
Tonight's a treat, since it's your birthday.
[20:38] ---
What...?
[20:46] ---
His hand...
[20:49] ---
Cleanse yourself.
[20:52] ---
Cleanse yourself of the sins
you have committed here and now.
[21:02] ---
That's right. It can't be!
[21:07] ---
Sebastian, this is an order!
[21:10] ---
Kill him!
[21:12] ---
Yes, my lord.
[21:31] ---
I thought that was you, Angela.
[21:36] ---
H-Hey! What's an angel doing in this realm?!
[21:41] ---
Young master!
[21:44] ---
Look! That's a real Cinematic Record!
[21:51] ---
Grell, your death scythe!
[21:53] ---
Give me some time! I'm working on it!
[21:56] ---
What are those?
[21:58] ---
I can't help it! Will took my
last set of scythes away, too!
[22:04] ---
I shall show you all the light
and darkness of your past.
[22:13] ---
Young master!
[22:16] ---
I cut it!
[22:19] ---
Here we go.
[22:49] ---
The moonlight that reveals
sorrow was coldly illuminating
[22:56] ---
The despair and the future
which grew intimate in the dark
[23:06] ---
With the secret you gave me as my guide
[23:13] ---
I move through the blue night's stillness
[23:20] ---
Lacrimosa, I want to love once again
[23:27] ---
The dazzling world that
crumbled and vanished in the distance
[23:35] ---
I'll hide my dreams within my eyes
[23:42] ---
Until the tears fall on my sullied heart
[24:04] ---
Young master, you must not on
any account look into the past.
[24:11] ---
It's very sweet,
[24:12] ---
and it has a nasty tendency
to become addictive.
[24:15] ---
You're so easily overwhelmed,
I'm sure even one past trip
[24:19] ---
will have you three sheets
to the wind in no time.
[24:25] ---
Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Transmitted."
[24:26] ---
"Next Time" "His Butler, Transmitted"
[24:29] ---
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
