[00:07] ---
    Bloody hell, it's done for.
[00:10] ---
    Rats again?
[00:12] ---
    I heard they were plaguin' London,
[00:14] ---
    but I sure didn't expect
    them this far out of the city...
[00:23] ---
    Found you, rat!
[00:30] ---
    He got away. Tee-hee!
[00:32] ---
    Don't give me that "tee-hee"!
    Do you want to kill us, too, idiot?!

    "His Butler, Strongest"
[02:14] ---
    Oh, there's another one!
[02:15] ---
    Don't let it get away!
[02:20] ---
    Quite the commotion out there.
[02:23] ---
    It seems you have rats here as well.
[02:28] ---
    How long do you intend to
    let those vermin run wild?
[02:33] ---
    They forage through our pantries
    and do nothing but spread disease!
[02:35] ---
    "Run wild"? Isn't he simply
    leaving them at large to observe them?
[02:40] ---
    Yes, he always aims to settle
    things with one blow.
[02:44] ---
    Will you pass on this turn
    too, Lord Phantomhive?
[02:47] ---
    Pass. It's my policy not
    to hit balls I can't sink.
[02:52] ---
    Never mind the pompous talk.
    When will you exterminate the vermin?
[02:55] ---
    Anytime you like.
    The forbidden cheese with its rat bites...
[03:00] ---
    The key to the storehouse is in my hands.
[03:08] ---
    However, it will require
    a certain amount of effort
[03:12] ---
    to find the rats' nest and exterminate them.
[03:15] ---
    What say you prepare a suitable reward?
[03:18] ---
    You vulture.
[03:19] ---
    Sir Arthur, do you have the
    right to insult my family crest?
[03:24] ---
    Heh, foul. Mucked that one up.
[03:26] ---
    What will you do, Lord Phantomhive?
[03:29] ---
    Perhaps it's time to end this worthless game.
[03:35] ---
    How soon can you prepare the reward?
[03:38] ---
    By tonight.
[03:42] ---
    I'll send a carriage for you later.
[03:46] ---
    We'll have some slight
    entertainment ready for you.
[03:50] ---
    Are you going to go after all
    the balls in this situation?!
[03:53] ---
    Naturally.
[03:54] ---
    Greed will be your undoing.
[04:06] ---
    Greed, eh?
[04:09] ---
    Today's tea is a darjeeling
    from Fortnum & Mason.
[04:15] ---
    It smells delicious. Tea can be
    exceptional when well brewed, hmm?
[04:22] ---
    Grell.
[04:23] ---
    Y-Yes, my lady?
[04:24] ---
    Learn something from him.
[04:26] ---
    Y-Yes, my lady...
[04:28] ---
    That aside...
[04:30] ---
    You're a fine-looking man, aren't you?
[04:32] ---
    Quit serving in this silly
    country house and come to me!
[04:36] ---
    Madam Red...
[04:37] ---
    Oh, goodness, I'm sorry! I just
    couldn't help but want to palpate him!
[04:41] ---
    Perhaps that's just how doctors are.
[04:44] ---
    You believe the drug trafficker was
    one of your guests today, my lord?
[04:49] ---
    Perhaps.
[04:50] ---
    You can just leave this
    extermination business to Lau.
[04:53] ---
    A rat knows best where the
    rats' nest is, doesn't he?
[04:57] ---
    I'm a tame guinea pig, actually.
[05:01] ---
    If the earl orders me not to,
    I won't do anything uncalled-for.
[05:05] ---
    Hey! Keep your paws off of my darling nephew!
[05:09] ---
    You wound me. I wouldn't paw at him here.
[05:13] ---
    You're saying you would somewhere else?!
[05:15] ---
    That's a problematic statement, you know!
[05:17] ---
    --Sorry, sorry.
[05:17] ---
    --I hope you know that's my
    darling, darling nephew there!
[05:18] ---
    --Young master?
[05:22] ---
    Here...
[05:24] ---
    --It went that way, guys!
[05:26] ---
    --And here...
[05:26] ---
    --It's him!
[05:32] ---
    Young master?
[05:34] ---
    Today we'll be having a
    deep-dish apple raisin pie.
SIGN    "Deep-Dish Apple Raisin Pie"
[05:39] ---
    It will be ready soon; will
    you eat with your guests?
[05:42] ---
    Bring it to my room. I can't
    deal with them anymore.
[05:46] ---
    Very good, my lord.
[05:58] ---
    Stop playing and get to work.
[06:01] ---
    Yes, Sir.
[06:04] ---
    Finally, peace and quiet.
[06:13] ---
    Young master, I've brought
    your afternoon tea.
[06:19] ---
    Young master?
[06:24] ---
    This is terrible.
[06:26] ---
    The tea will go to waste.
[06:38] ---
    "The order of England's underworld"...
[06:41] ---
    One of the "villainous nobles"
[06:42] ---
    that have assumed the bad-guy role
    for the royal family for generations...
[06:46] ---
    "The Queen's guard dog,"
    who uses his absolute power
[06:50] ---
    to bite to death anyone who opposes her...
[06:53] ---
    Just how many nicknames do you have,
[06:56] ---
    and how many families have you crushed...
[06:59] ---
    ...Ciel Phantomhive?
[07:02] ---
    I thought it was you,
[07:04] ---
    Azzurro Vanel of the Ferro family!
[07:09] ---
    Say, little Phantomhive,
[07:12] ---
    it's tough for the Italian
    Mafia in this country.
[07:15] ---
    All these Englishman have
    tea-encrusted brains.
[07:19] ---
    People in the family business like us
[07:21] ---
    have to rack our brains to come
    up with smart ways to make money.
[07:25] ---
    And that's exactly what drugs are for.
[07:27] ---
    In the Pharmacy Act of '68,
    even opium was listed as restricted.
[07:32] ---
    The Queen has ordered me
[07:34] ---
    not to let the vermin or
    the drugs run wild anymore.
[07:39] ---
    This is why I hate Englishmen.
    The Queen this, the Queen that...
[07:43] ---
    You're all a bunch of mama's
    boys about your stupid Queen.
[07:46] ---
    You try to line your own pockets
    while you bind us with rules...
[07:50] ---
    But we're birds of a feather, aren't we?
[07:54] ---
    Let's get along.
[07:56] ---
    I've left orders for my servants
[07:58] ---
    to give your storehouse key to
    the authorities if I don't come back.
[08:03] ---
    Sorry, but I have no intention of
    making friends with a filthy rat.
[08:08] ---
    Don't you underestimate
    an adult, you damned brat!
[08:11] ---
    I already have my men waiting at your estate.
[08:14] ---
    Where's the key?
[08:15] ---
    Spit it out fast, or I'll kill
    your servants one by one.
[08:22] ---
    You'd better hope your little lap
    dogs actually know how to fetch.
[08:34] ---
    Did you hear that? Negotiations broke down.
[08:42] ---
    Now, where can the young
    master have gone off to?
[08:48] ---
    Sebastian!
[08:51] ---
    I just found a letter at the front door, yes!
[08:53] ---
    Addressed to whom?
[08:55] ---
    Er, "The Earl Phantomhive's Servants."
[09:20] ---
    Mey-Rin, the letter.
[09:23] ---
    Y-Yes sir, yes!
[09:25] ---
    "If you want us to return your master safely,
[09:27] ---
    bring it to Nova Scotia
    Gardens in Bethnal Green."
[09:33] ---
    What a vulgar invitation.
[09:36] ---
    Sebastian!
[09:38] ---
    Say, what happened?
[09:40] ---
    I apologize for the commotion.
[09:42] ---
    Nothing is the matter, so please don't worry.
[09:45] ---
    "Nothing"...?
[09:47] ---
    I'm sorry, everyone, but
    would you please clean this up?
[09:55] ---
    By "clean up," do you mean...
[09:57] ---
    we can eat this?
[09:59] ---
    Huh?
[10:01] ---
    Sebastian?
[10:06] ---
    Sorry, I bungled it.
[10:07] ---
    Bungled it?!
[10:09] ---
    You useless fools!
[10:11] ---
    This is the problem with scum like you...
[10:13] ---
    Forget it, just get back here!
[10:18] ---
    W-Wait, there's something strange...
[10:22] ---
    Wh-What's that?!
[10:25] ---
    What, you meet a bear
    in the woods or someth--
[10:31] ---
    What's with you guys?
    Did you attract too much attention?
[10:33] ---
    Speed up!
[10:45] ---
    It's coming...
[10:50] ---
    Cut it out already!
[10:52] ---
    No good, it's here!
[11:02] ---
    H-Hey... What happened?
[11:09] ---
    Sounds like your game of fetch failed.
[11:16] ---
    Quiet, you damn brat!
[11:22] ---
    Hey, if you don't answer me right now,
    I swear I'll kill you mongrels!
[11:27] ---
    Hello.
[11:29] ---
    I represent the Phantomhive estate.
[11:34] ---
    Would my master happen to be there?
[11:38] ---
    Hello? What's the matter?
[11:42] ---
    Hello?
[11:47] ---
    Woof.
[11:52] ---
    Very good, my lord. I'll be
    there to pick you up momentarily.
[12:01] ---
    Thank you for letting me use your telephone.
[12:06] ---
    By the way, I have a few
    questions I'd like to ask you.
[12:10] ---
    First, who is your master?
[12:14] ---
    I am not a very patient man.
[12:18] ---
    You don't want to turn into
    Humpty Dumpties, do you?
[12:23] ---
    He's Azzurro Vanel of the Ferro family!
[12:25] ---
    He has a hideout in the northern East End!
[12:30] ---
    We only work for him!
[12:31] ---
    Oh, I see.
[12:34] ---
    I'm sorry to have stopped you.
[12:37] ---
    Please, be on your way.
[12:54] ---
    Oh my, look at the time.
[13:01] ---
    If I don't hurry, I'll be late for dinner.
[13:18] ---
    Hey, is everything really all right?
[13:19] ---
    If that butler says nothing is wrong.
[13:23] ---
    There's something unshakeable between
    him and the earl after all the time
[13:28] ---
    they've spent together.
[13:30] ---
    He's always stuck fast to
    the earl, like a shadow.
[13:36] ---
    Huh? Didn't Sebastian only
    come to him about two years ago?
[13:40] ---
    Really? Well, the human
    memory is rather vague...
[13:45] ---
    Right, Ran-Mao?
[13:48] ---
    Why, you...
[13:50] ---
    The Phantomhive guard dog
    is going to bust in here!
[13:53] ---
    Tighten security at the gate!
    Don't even let a single rat through!
[13:56] ---
    Don't let him set one foot inside!
[14:03] ---
    My, what a fine mansion.
[14:07] ---
    Who the devil are you?!
[14:09] ---
    Ah, my apologies.
[14:12] ---
    I represent the house of Phantomhive.
[14:17] ---
    Oh, where did Sebastian go?
[14:21] ---
    Totally...
[14:23] ---
    I don't care where he is or what he's doin'.
[14:26] ---
    The issue right now is this!
[14:28] ---
    By "clean it up," does
    he mean we can eat it?!
[14:31] ---
    Or can't we?!
[14:33] ---
    I think maybe we can.
[14:36] ---
    Idiot! If we make the wrong call on this one,
[14:39] ---
    we'll be sportin' his special
    "triple-scoop ice cream" on our heads!
[14:43] ---
    Baldo, it's not good to get irritated, no!
[14:46] ---
    You're short on calcium. Drink this, yes!
[14:49] ---
    I don't want it.
[14:51] ---
    Do not underestimate milk!
[14:53] ---
    If you drink lots of it,
    your bones will grow strong, yes!
[14:57] ---
    My bone... My bone is broken!
[15:01] ---
    Excuse me, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.
[15:05] ---
    5:34.
[15:33] ---
    Shit! Call in the guys
    from the west building!
[15:37] ---
    We'll pump him full of bullets!
[15:38] ---
    A swarm of rats...
[15:41] ---
    I'll get nowhere at this rate.
[15:43] ---
    I've decided! I'm gonna eat it!
[15:45] ---
    Mey-Rin, get tea! Finny, get out the silver!
[15:49] ---
    Yes, Sir!
[15:51] ---
    I'm sure it was this drawer... Huh?
[15:54] ---
    Somethin' wrong?
[15:56] ---
    That's strange.
[15:57] ---
    The silverware should be here,
    but I don't see a single piece.
[16:13] ---
    Who the hell is that guy?!
[16:16] ---
    A Phantomhive butler
[16:18] ---
    who can't do this much isn't worth his salt.
[16:38] ---
    My goodness... That took a little
    more time than I would have liked.
[16:44] ---
    5:43.
[17:00] ---
    I have come to retrieve my master.
[17:02] ---
    Ha! This is a surprise.
[17:04] ---
    I was imagining a brawny giant, but
    you're just some milksop in a tailcoat...
[17:09] ---
    Who are you? You're not just a butler.
[17:13] ---
    No, I am merely one hell of a butler...
[17:16] ---
    That's all.
[17:18] ---
    Oh, really? At any rate, I
    don't intend to fight you.
[17:23] ---
    But...
[17:30] ---
    You better have brought the goods.
[17:32] ---
    Yes.
[17:34] ---
    Here it is.
[17:37] ---
    Seba--
[17:51] ---
    Sorry, milksop, but I win this game!
[17:56] ---
    I'm up against Phantomhive, the game master,
[17:59] ---
    so of course I had a trump card to play!
[18:01] ---
    I damaged the goods a little bit,
[18:04] ---
    but you should fetch a good price
    even if they can't sell your parts.
[18:09] ---
    Now, no need to be scared.
[18:12] ---
    By the time some pervert takes you in...
[18:15] ---
    Hey! How long are you going to play around?
[18:18] ---
    How long do you intend to play dead?
[18:22] ---
    Goodness gracious...
[18:24] ---
    Th-That's impossible!
[18:31] ---
    Today's guns are so much more efficient...
[18:35] ---
    Quite different than the
    guns of a hundred years ago.
[18:42] ---
    I'll give these back to you.
[18:44] ---
    What are you waiting for?! Kill him!
[18:55] ---
    Oh dear, my clothes are full of holes.
[18:59] ---
    That's what you get for
    fooling around, you idiot.
[19:02] ---
    Young master, you look good.
[19:08] ---
    St-Stop!
[19:09] ---
    You're like a caterpillar;
    it's quite pathetic and wonderful.
[19:13] ---
    It suits a small, weak creature like you.
[19:16] ---
    I-If you come any closer, I'll kill him!
[19:20] ---
    Hurry it up. This guy's breath stinks.
[19:23] ---
    But if I come any closer, you'll be killed.
[19:26] ---
    Do you intend to violate our contract?
[19:29] ---
    Of course not. I am your faithful servant.
[19:33] ---
    What the hell kind of nonsense is this?!
[19:36] ---
    Young master,
[19:38] ---
    haven't I taught you
    how to coax me into things?
[19:44] ---
    This is an order. Save me!
[19:48] ---
    Shut up!
[20:00] ---
    Wh-Why isn't he dead?
[20:03] ---
    Looking for something?
[20:10] ---
    I'll give this back to you.
[20:21] ---
    This game wasn't much fun.
[20:27] ---
    Wait! Come serve me.
[20:30] ---
    Be my bodyguard and I'll pay
    you five times what he does now.
[20:33] ---
    No, ten times!
[20:36] ---
    And you can have
    all the wine and women you want! So--
[20:40] ---
    Unfortunately, Mr. Vanel,
[20:42] ---
    I have no interest in the
    rubbish created by humans.
[20:47] ---
    You see,
[20:49] ---
    I am merely one hell of a butler.
[20:53] ---
    H-Hell...?
[21:03] ---
    As long as my young master holds
    the contract, I am his loyal lapdog.
[21:09] ---
    I am bound to my master
[21:12] ---
    by a sacrifice, a wish, and a contract.
[21:17] ---
    Until the day I take his soul.
[21:23] ---
    Unfortunately for you, this is game over.
[21:38] ---
    Awake, my lord?
[21:47] ---
    Young master! Welcome back!
[21:53] ---
    Master Ciel, you're hurt!
[21:55] ---
    I just tripped while I was
    out. Don't worry about it.
[21:58] ---
    What, you don't trust the
    words of the family head?
[22:01] ---
    That's not it; it's just...
[22:03] ---
    That looks fun! Like when
    you lift a baby in the air!
[22:08] ---
    P-Put me down, now!
[22:11] ---
    Of course it wasn't "fun"! You two are--
[22:14] ---
    Young master.
[22:16] ---
    I apologize.
[22:19] ---
    I've committed a blunder
    unworthy of a Phantomhive butler.
[22:22] ---
    I do not know how I can atone...
[22:25] ---
    The preparations for tonight's
    dinner are nowhere near complete.
[24:04] ---
    We will be holding a ball at
    Lady Elizabeth's suggestion.
[24:06] ---
    My young master's dancing
    is so wonderfully pathetic
[24:09] ---
    that it not only shames the professionals,
[24:12] ---
    but causes them to writhe uncontrollably
    with laughter until they fall dead.
[24:19] ---
    It looks as though I will have
    to provide careful tutelage.
[24:23] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Omnipotent."
[24:25] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Omnipotent"
[24:28] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
