    Ciel.
[00:10] ---
    Ciel.
[00:13] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive.
[00:22] ---
    This is your past.
[00:26] ---
    Some things shine brightly,
[00:29] ---
    and some are steeped in fathomless darkness.
[00:36] ---
    I see, so that's the past you choose.
[00:49] ---
    Father!
[00:55] ---
    You're...

    "His Butler, Transmitted"
[02:53] ---
    Where is the young master?
[02:56] ---
    This is the Grim Reaper Library!
[03:00] ---
    That's where the Cinematic Records are kept.
[03:27] ---
    Ah, it is you...
[03:30] ---
    I knew I smelled something unpleasant.
[03:32] ---
    Will!
[03:33] ---
    To think a demon would have
    the nerve to set foot in our territory...
[03:36] ---
    Will, wait! I'm looking for the
    Doomsday Books on your orders!
[03:40] ---
    Honestly...
[03:41] ---
    A grim reaper, willingly
    inviting such vermin here?
[03:47] ---
    Grell Sutcliff, you appear
    to want a further demotion.
[03:52] ---
    Wh-What will it be this time?
[03:56] ---
    Exterminating vermin is all well and good,
[03:59] ---
    but are you sure you ought to let
    your lice infestation go unchecked?
[04:05] ---
    An angel.
[04:06] ---
    Yes.
[04:07] ---
    It seems I'll be late getting home tonight.
[04:31] ---
    You're awake, then?
[04:36] ---
    So it was you,
[04:39] ---
    Angela Blanc?
[04:41] ---
    How did your past feel?
[04:44] ---
    Was it soft like burnished velvet?
[04:47] ---
    Or was it more like overwashed cotton's--
[04:49] ---
    Shut up! That hand...
[04:55] ---
    That... was my father's hand.
[05:01] ---
    You killed them, didn't you?
[05:03] ---
    Why? Why did you kill my parents?!
[05:07] ---
    What could you have possibly stood to gain--
[05:09] ---
    "Killed"? What a disturbing thing to say.
[05:11] ---
    Am I the only one who harmed your parents?
[05:18] ---
    Didn't your butler...
[05:20] ---
    No, didn't you kill them again?
[05:37] ---
    You were brilliant.
[05:39] ---
    I didn't expect you to stay sane
    in the face of that distorted past.
[05:44] ---
    Why, you...
[05:46] ---
    You are thoroughly sullied.
[05:51] ---
    However, underneath the surface is
    a glow it would be a shame to waste.
[05:59] ---
    Shall I change your unsightly,
[06:04] ---
    impure past for you?
[06:09] ---
    Angels have the ability to
    tamper with Cinematic Records.
[06:14] ---
    They can change the past?
[06:16] ---
    I doubt even God could do that.
[06:19] ---
    They merely give you a false peace.
[06:24] ---
    Stuff it! You're the one who sullied me!
[06:30] ---
    Those who have had negative
    enough experiences to break their souls
[06:34] ---
    wish for that past to be wiped out.
[06:38] ---
    However, it haunts them forever.
[06:53] ---
    It's all right, Ciel.
[07:09] ---
    There's no need to grieve our deaths.
[07:13] ---
    That's right, Ciel.
[07:15] ---
    We don't want to see you suffer.
[07:21] ---
    An angel's powers leave the past unchanged,
[07:24] ---
    instead manipulating your impression of it
[07:27] ---
    to make you think it wasn't
    so negative after all.
[07:30] ---
    You lie...
[07:33] ---
    You lie! You were--
[07:35] ---
    In that moment, we saw light.
[07:40] ---
    A very rich, tranquil
    light of loving-kindness.
[07:44] ---
    In death, your father and I
    truly became one in body and spirit.
[07:49] ---
    Yes. And...
[07:52] ---
    Now that we've become one, Ciel...
[07:57] ---
    We can also embrace you, body and spirit.
[08:05] ---
    Ciel.
[08:06] ---
    Ciel.
[08:08] ---
    We love you.
[08:10] ---
    Father... Mother...
[08:22] ---
    Young master!
[08:28] ---
    His past is being rewritten.
[08:32] ---
    He's being purified, made
    clean and white as snow.
[08:36] ---
    Purified?
[08:37] ---
    No one wants to harbor hatred.
[08:42] ---
    That holds true for him as well.
[08:44] ---
    Young master!
[08:45] ---
    How rash.
[08:47] ---
    If you forcibly stop her now,
[08:49] ---
    the child's past won't be
    properly contained in him,
[08:52] ---
    and he will become less than human.
[08:57] ---
    Yes, he will become white as snow.
[09:00] ---
    Purified... my young master...?
[09:13] ---
    Come, Ciel.
[09:17] ---
    We bear no grudge against anyone.
[09:21] ---
    That's right. That's the ticket, Ciel.
[09:25] ---
    You mustn't be led astray
    by foolish negative emotions.
[09:29] ---
    Cast off all hatred.
[09:31] ---
    Hatred is uncleanness.
[09:37] ---
    What is it, Ciel?
[09:39] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:41] ---
    N-N-No...
[09:45] ---
    Ciel?
[09:46] ---
    I don't... want...
[09:49] ---
    What do you mean, Ciel?
[09:51] ---
    Even if you...
[09:56] ---
    never bore a grudge...
[10:01] ---
    That has nothing to do with my hatred!
[10:04] ---
    Ciel, how could you say that?
[10:07] ---
    I thought you loved us!
[10:11] ---
    I do love you, Mother.
[10:15] ---
    That's why it was so painful.
[10:18] ---
    It hurt!
[10:21] ---
    Hatred was all I had left.
[10:25] ---
    I'm asking you to let that go and--
[10:26] ---
    No!
[10:27] ---
    Ciel...
[10:29] ---
    If I let go of hatred,
[10:31] ---
    the self I've been since
    that day wouldn't exist.
[10:36] ---
    That's not who I am!
[10:37] ---
    Ciel!
[10:58] ---
    Ciel...
[11:00] ---
    I won't lose it.
[11:05] ---
    I won't lose it.
[11:08] ---
    I won't lose this hatred!
[11:20] ---
    He's rewinding the Cinematic
    Record by himself?!
[11:25] ---
    Young master!
[11:31] ---
    What a breakneck thing to do...
[11:35] ---
    Sebastian... I...
[11:38] ---
    You always exceed my expectations.
[11:43] ---
    You are truly worthy of being my soul...
[11:45] ---
    no, my young master.
[11:51] ---
    The horror of such an unclean heart!
[11:54] ---
    Depraved, stagnant, without light...
[11:57] ---
    I should never have shown you mercy.
[12:00] ---
    I shall purify you here and now.
[12:04] ---
    Then let's do this.
[12:06] ---
    Disturbances in the library fall
    under grim reaper jurisdiction.
[12:10] ---
    We'll join them, Grell Sutcliff.
[12:13] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[12:17] ---
    Oh, we're a trinity! The door
    opens on a passionate battle!
[12:22] ---
    Yes, yes, coming through.
[12:27] ---
    Let's see... Number eight... number eight...
[12:32] ---
    Undertaker!
[12:34] ---
    Hi!
[12:35] ---
    Hey! What are you doing here--?!
[12:39] ---
    Mind your tongue!
[12:41] ---
    This is the virtuoso who passed
    judgment on the famous Robin Hood
[12:44] ---
    and sent Marie Antoinette to hell.
[12:47] ---
    He is the legendary grim reaper
[12:50] ---
    who makes the staunchest
    of souls give up the ghost.
[12:52] ---
    Now hold on!
[12:54] ---
    He doesn't look anything like the
    fellow in that sequence just now!
[12:57] ---
    How could this dreary old
    man be a legendary grim reap--
[13:03] ---
    Make love to me.
[13:07] ---
    As you seem so busy, I'll start
    my purification with that abbey.
[13:13] ---
    Running away again?
[13:15] ---
    I shall show you all
[13:17] ---
    what happens to a world ruled by impurity.
[13:27] ---
    Wh-What is this?
[13:30] ---
    An angelic seal.
[13:53] ---
    What should we do, now
    that our leader is gone?
[13:58] ---
    You don't have to feel sad.
[14:01] ---
    Because the time has come for
    the coffins to serve their purpose.
[14:08] ---
    A-An angel?!
[14:14] ---
    Yield everything to me.
[14:17] ---
    And give me your thoroughly
    sullied Doomsday Books
[14:23] ---
    that will never record the future!
[14:29] ---
    It won't open!
[14:30] ---
    Good grief. It would seem we're trapped.
[14:43] ---
    This is...
[14:45] ---
    The Cinematic Record of
    someone in that abbey.
[14:49] ---
    The abbey?
[14:51] ---
    I see.
[14:53] ---
    "An angel of massacre descends
[14:55] ---
    on the abbey on the outskirts of Preston."
[14:58] ---
    An angel of massacre?
[15:01] ---
    All you who have gathered
    here are impure souls.
[15:06] ---
    Souls who lean on honeyed
    words, who lean on God,
[15:10] ---
    who have given up writing
    the future with their own hands.
[15:15] ---
    Snuff out the unfruitful.
    Snuff out the unnecessary.
[15:20] ---
    Snuff out the unclean!
[15:23] ---
    Ah, yes, I see.
[15:26] ---
    Stop her.
[15:28] ---
    Dear me, an act of charity?
[15:31] ---
    Didn't you intend to eradicate
    that abbey in any case?
[15:35] ---
    It's not that I want to help them.
[15:37] ---
    I don't want to let her
    have her way. That's all.
[15:42] ---
    But what are we meant to
    do about it? We're stuck here.
[15:47] ---
    No, we have an option.
[15:49] ---
    The ultimate reaper tool
    which only the managerial class
[15:53] ---
    of the Grim Reaper Staffing
    Association can use.
[15:57] ---
    We call it... the Death Bookmark.
[16:01] ---
    Bookmark?
[16:05] ---
    A pink placeholder.
[16:20] ---
    If we use this to halt the story,
    we can take a red pen to it.
[16:25] ---
    This woman's name is Matilda Simmons.
[16:29] ---
    "She is purified in the
    abbey by the angel Angela"--
[16:34] ---
    The sentence breaks off there.
[16:37] ---
    So I put, "--But just then,
    Sebastian Michaelis appears."
[16:44] ---
    Sebas-chan!
[16:54] ---
    That woman smells like a demon...
[16:57] ---
    Yes.
[16:59] ---
    You see, she's been marked already.
[17:03] ---
    You!
[17:04] ---
    What a pious demon you are,
    to wish to die at an angel's hands...
[17:10] ---
    ...Sebastian Michaelis.
[17:19] ---
    Do you think a demon can compete
    with an immaculate-winged angel?
[17:24] ---
    Wingless demons are chained to the earth...
[17:28] ---
    ...for eternity.
[17:29] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[17:33] ---
    In that case, may you be
    chained to the heavens.
[17:40] ---
    Grell Sutcliff!
[17:44] ---
    A brand-new death scythe!
[17:53] ---
    Yes!
[17:54] ---
    Wash it and return it when we're done here.
[17:57] ---
    You're so mean.
[17:59] ---
    "William T. Spears and Grell Sutcliff
[18:03] ---
    appear before Matilda as
    she watches the battle."
[18:08] ---
    That's a handy tool.
[18:10] ---
    Yes, though limited.
[18:13] ---
    This is an entertaining little diversion.
[18:15] ---
    Let's treat ourselves to
    a game of darts, shall we?
[18:20] ---
    Hmm, I missed.
[18:24] ---
    Now, where shall I hit her next?
[18:26] ---
    I want to play too!
[18:29] ---
    You have perverse tastes.
[18:51] ---
    What?
[18:53] ---
    Does she mean to destroy
    herself along with us?
[18:55] ---
    Snuff out the unclean.
    Snuff out the unnecessary.
[18:59] ---
    Boys, the ceiling is falling!
[19:02] ---
    You are free to run if you like.
[19:06] ---
    A-All right!
[19:13] ---
    We'll retreat as well, Grell Sutcliff.
[19:17] ---
    Well, really! Never mind overtime pay,
    I'd like to request a day off.
[19:54] ---
    Is it over?
[19:57] ---
    The one who plunged me into
    bottomless darkness...
[20:01] ---
    I don't even know why she did it.
[20:07] ---
    A promise is a promise. Take it.
[20:39] ---
    Why, Sebastian?! Why aren't
    you taking my soul?!
[20:43] ---
    She must be dead! Or...
[20:49] ---
    Do you mean there's someone else...?
[20:54] ---
    I'll be serving you a while
    longer, young master.
[21:06] ---
    By the way, why were you in the library?
[21:09] ---
    I thought you'd retired from active service.
[21:11] ---
    Well, you see, he reminded me of something.
[21:16] ---
    There were some Cinematic
    Records I'd neglected to return.
[21:22] ---
    Oh, please.
[21:23] ---
    Come to think of it, two of
    the books I had checked out
[21:28] ---
    were about the Earl and Countess Phantomhive.
[21:32] ---
    Their true Cinematic Records,
    with no alterations by angels...
[21:37] ---
    Do you want to know what they said?
[21:42] ---
    No, I don't.
[21:46] ---
    Let's be off, Sebastian.
[21:48] ---
    Certainly.
[21:55] ---
    Interesting.
[21:58] ---
    Are you sure that was wise, my lord?
[22:00] ---
    If you read the books,
    you would know who to take revenge on.
[22:05] ---
    It's fine.
[22:06] ---
    Feeling sentimental?
[22:07] ---
    That's not it.
[22:09] ---
    It's only...
[22:12] ---
    The thought of being touched by that again...
[22:18] ---
    It's not my custom to
    repeatedly disgrace the dead.

[24:04] ---
    Of late, my young master seems quite friendly
[24:07] ---
    with Inspector Abberline.
[24:09] ---
    Making a new friend is a
    wonderful thing, but...
[24:13] ---
    I advise you not to get too deeply involved.
[24:16] ---
    Hmm, I would think little things like
    sharing your sweets should be fine.
[24:21] ---
    Lick, lick. Lick, lick...
[24:25] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Imprisoned."
[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Imprisoned"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
