    "One night, Zhuang Zhou
    dreamt he was a butterfly.
[00:17] ---
    He was a happily fluttering butterfly.
[00:20] ---
    It was so much fun. He could
    fly wherever he wanted.
[00:25] ---
    And he had no thought of being Zhou.
[00:30] ---
    But suddenly he woke up,
[00:33] ---
    and was startled to find
    that he was now Zhou.
[00:36] ---
    He couldn't decide: Was he Zhou
    who'd just dreamt he was a butterfly...
[00:40] ---
    or a butterfly now dreaming he was Zhou?
[00:47] ---
    Between being Zhou and a butterfly,
    surely there must be some distinction...
[00:53] ---
    This is what we call the
    transformation of things."
[00:59] ---
    I know, I'm simply too-too.

    "His Butler, Escaping"
[02:42] ---
    He's lovely!
[02:44] ---
    If you're going to confess,
    you'd best do it soon, Sebastian.
[02:50] ---
    Very well, then, I confess:
[02:53] ---
    I was responsible for the outbreak
    of the Black Death in Europe.
[02:57] ---
    What?
[02:58] ---
    As I recall, it was during
    the reign of Edward III.
[03:02] ---
    Don't try to make fools of us!
[03:04] ---
    That was a full five hundred years ago!
[03:08] ---
    Give him as much pain as you like!
[03:11] ---
    Yessir.
[03:12] ---
    Oh, good.
[03:15] ---
    If you'd confessed,
    I would've missed out on my fun!
[03:20] ---
    Oh, those eyes! Should I
    pierce them, or cut them out?
[03:24] ---
    Or I could burn them!
[03:27] ---
    No, no, I'll save the best part for last.
[03:30] ---
    First, let's hear a nice
    scream from you, you pretty thing.
[03:42] ---
    Your tea is ready.
[03:53] ---
    Ciel?
[04:04] ---
    I once had a job unloading
    tea clippers at the docks.
[04:09] ---
    But you're an inspector...
[04:12] ---
    I was raised in the East End.
[04:14] ---
    I had no parents or siblings.
[04:16] ---
    I did whatever work I had to, to survive.
[04:19] ---
    You've certainly risen up in the world, then.
[04:23] ---
    I say, Ciel...
[04:25] ---
    You really don't have anything
    to do with the drugs, do you?
[04:30] ---
    Or the Queen's letter, either.
[04:32] ---
    You're finally starting your interrogation?
[04:34] ---
    No, the Commissioner only
    told me to confine you here.
[04:39] ---
    Then don't involve yourself.
[04:41] ---
    This game is between me and
    whoever is pulling the strings.
[04:45] ---
    You just follow your superior's orders,
    like the pawn you are.
[04:49] ---
    That's the secret to long life and promotion.
[04:51] ---
    Ciel...
[04:55] ---
    If you're going to give the
    Ferro family your territory,
[04:58] ---
    we'll be glad to accept it,
[05:02] ---
    but I thought you worked
    for that little mutt.
[05:05] ---
    I hear he's been captured.
[05:08] ---
    Should you really run away without him?
[05:11] ---
    The butterfly drinks nectar from the flower,
[05:13] ---
    and the flower spreads its pollen
    by giving nectar to the butterfly.
[05:17] ---
    And should the flower be
    plucked for the beauty of its bloom,
[05:23] ---
    would the butterfly mourn it?
[05:25] ---
    It would simply find a new flower, eh?
[05:29] ---
    There are flowerbeds all over this world.
[05:32] ---
    And wasn't that your doing?
[05:34] ---
    And Stanley was your doing,
    so it's a pot-and-kettle situation.
[05:39] ---
    You're quite right, Signor Corraro.
[05:42] ---
    Have a nice voyage, Lau-dàren.
[05:48] ---
    Well, Ran-Mao, now we'll finally say goodbye
[05:53] ---
    to these days of peace and boredom.
[05:59] ---
    Liar.
[06:18] ---
    A tea clipper, eh?
[06:25] ---
    Tea, opium, and a Chinese man...
[06:30] ---
    That's an unpleasant coincidence.
[06:32] ---
    It's like the Opium Wars all over again.
[06:49] ---
    You make a pretty picture
    like this, Sebastian.
[06:52] ---
    So this is how far you'll go
    in your loyalty to your master.
[06:57] ---
    Those are the terms of
    the contract between us.
[07:24] ---
    Where are you going, Ciel?
[07:27] ---
    I'm tired of this confinement.
[07:29] ---
    I just thought I'd take a little walk.
[07:32] ---
    What do you think you can
    accomplish on your own?
[07:36] ---
    Do not underestimate the Phantomhives.
[07:39] ---
    How many years do you think
    we've held sway in the underworld?
[07:45] ---
    There are still plenty of pawns in my grasp.
[07:48] ---
    You mean the lot you've
    been trying to contact for days?
[07:52] ---
    None have them have
    reached out a hand to you, though.
[07:57] ---
    Am I wrong, Ciel?
[07:59] ---
    The boy must be gnashing his teeth right now,
[08:03] ---
    since he's been shown his own powerlessness.
[08:06] ---
    Yes, I imagine so.
[08:08] ---
    Fear and profit are the only
    ties that bind in the underworld.
[08:14] ---
    You don't have either right now.
[08:17] ---
    That won't stop me.
[08:19] ---
    That wouldn't stop him. Even if...
[08:23] ---
    Even if all my pawns are stolen,
[08:25] ---
    and the king is my only
    piece left on the board...
[08:29] ---
    He will never pull out of the game.
[08:32] ---
    That's my master's nature.
[08:35] ---
    Why not start acting like a demon,
    and be faithful to your own desires?
[08:39] ---
    This is harder on you than you admit.
[08:41] ---
    You haven't eaten any humans,
    any human souls, in quite some time.
[08:46] ---
    And now you're heavily injured to boot.
[08:49] ---
    You must be ravenous.
[08:53] ---
    Shall we make a deal, Sebastian?
[08:55] ---
    The true Doomsday will come in due time.
[08:59] ---
    When that happens, I'll let you
    have as many souls as you like.
[09:02] ---
    So give up that boy.
[09:05] ---
    No, thank you.
[09:07] ---
    I'm tired of simply gobbling
    everything I can lay my hands on.
[09:13] ---
    My young master is the only one I want.
[09:17] ---
    I desire nothing else.
[09:21] ---
    I see. Then I'm afraid our
    negotiations have broken down.
[09:29] ---
    O unclean one, o tainted
    one, o defiled one...
[09:35] ---
    Perish! Be cleansed!
[09:38] ---
    The pain you feel is a blessing from God!
[09:42] ---
    Ah, this pain is a sublime spice.
[09:46] ---
    Blood is what you offer up
    for the expiation of sin!
[09:48] ---
    Blood is the ultimate sauce.
[09:50] ---
    The cursed soul must be purged with flame!
[09:57] ---
    Bless that solitary, defiled soul...
[10:04] ---
    If I can't rely on anyone's
    help, that's fine.
[10:10] ---
    I've always been alone.
[10:12] ---
    It's the fate of all born into
    the cursed house of Phantomhive.
[10:16] ---
    You could never understand, Abberline.
[10:20] ---
    Isn't that why your parents were killed?
[10:24] ---
    I read about it in your file.
[10:26] ---
    And I heard the story
    from Commissioner Randall.
[10:28] ---
    I know your past,
[10:30] ---
    and I know you're
    the Queen's guard dog,
[10:32] ---
    who runs the criminal underworld.
[10:35] ---
    And?
[10:36] ---
    I believe our conversation is over.
[10:38] ---
    In which case...
[10:39] ---
    Why do you try to fight alone?!
[10:41] ---
    Why don't you ask anyone for help?!
[10:42] ---
    I don't need anyone on my side.
[10:45] ---
    I'm the one playing the game.
    All I need are pawns!
[10:49] ---
    I'll be on your side!
[10:56] ---
    Yes. I'll be on your side, Ciel.
[11:02] ---
    Abberline...
[11:14] ---
    You're a fool.
[11:16] ---
    If anyone finds out,
    you'll lose more than your job.
[11:20] ---
    I'm getting married.
[11:23] ---
    What does that have to do with it?!
[11:25] ---
    And I'll become a father not long after.
[11:29] ---
    So I want to make this a good country,
    for my child's sake as well.
[11:34] ---
    A country that can get along
    without the "Queen's guard dog."
[11:38] ---
    You know, I think the
    times are about to change.
[11:42] ---
    Like the tea clippers that
    have finished their duty.
[11:44] ---
    Are you serious?
[11:46] ---
    Of course. What changes the
    world is people's faith
[11:49] ---
    that tomorrow will be better,
    that they can make it better.
[11:54] ---
    Who the devil are you?
[11:57] ---
    Fred Abberline.
[11:59] ---
    A detective.
[12:00] ---
    Abby!
[12:02] ---
    Ma'am!
[12:03] ---
    I've found someone who
    says they saw the murder!
[12:09] ---
    A Chinese girl?
[12:11] ---
    Yeah, she was so pretty I
    thought she was Cutty Sark at first.
[12:16] ---
    A Chinese girl? Could it be...
[12:19] ---
    Did you tell anyone about this?
[12:21] ---
    I told Havock and a white-haired man.
[12:26] ---
    He was so dapper-looking!
[12:27] ---
    When I told him about her, he
    said I was a good, pure-hearted boy,
[12:32] ---
    and he gave me this!
[12:35] ---
    Give me that!
[12:37] ---
    Do you work for the Ferros?
    I'll get you your money later,
[12:41] ---
    so please, for God's sake!
[12:43] ---
    Hey.
[12:45] ---
    Tell me everything.
[12:54] ---
    So, now I rule the entire East End.
[13:03] ---
    Bloody hell!
[13:04] ---
    Boss! Boss!
[13:09] ---
    Corraro, are you the one
[13:12] ---
    who spread around drugs
    disguised as my sweets?
[13:15] ---
    I haven't the faintest--
[13:17] ---
    Children are very impatient.
[13:19] ---
    Yes, it was me.
[13:21] ---
    And were you responsible for Stanley, too?
[13:24] ---
    No, that was Lau!
[13:28] ---
    Stanley was one of our sponsors.
[13:31] ---
    We acted on his request,
[13:33] ---
    but the fool made a move on Lau,
[13:37] ---
    and Lau's pet tigress killed him.
[13:40] ---
    Come to think of it, Lau
    told me he was running
[13:43] ---
    because it was all over for the Phantomhives.
[13:48] ---
    Sounds like he got something
    valuable off Stanley, but...
[13:52] ---
    Lau, you...
[13:57] ---
    Ciel!
[14:01] ---
    I heard you'd stoop to *anything
    *to get your way, Phantomhive.
[14:06] ---
    This is the best you can do?
[14:08] ---
    True, this isn't like me.
[14:12] ---
    Ciel?
[14:13] ---
    That's right, there are
    no rules in this world.
[14:17] ---
    And if there are, then I'm
    the one who makes them.
[14:21] ---
    In my name and the defiled
    name of my family, I order you:
[14:25] ---
    Come, Sebastian!
[14:29] ---
    At last.
[14:42] ---
    Do it!
[14:54] ---
    You're late.
[14:56] ---
    You made me wait quite a
    while as well, young master.
[15:00] ---
    It seems that soft-hearted
    dupe temporarily infected me.
[15:04] ---
    But that's all over.
[15:06] ---
    Sebastian, go after Lau.
[15:08] ---
    I have no use for pawns
    that defy their players!
[15:11] ---
    You're certain, young master?
[15:13] ---
    You won't be able to take back that order.
[15:17] ---
    I remove anyone who stands in my way...
[15:22] ---
    even family and friends.
[15:24] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[15:26] ---
    Ciel!
[15:28] ---
    Keep your distance from
    me, or you'll get killed.
[15:33] ---
    I work in the shadows, and
    you work in the light.
[15:36] ---
    We walk opposite paths, Abberline.
[15:44] ---
    What's that?!
[15:53] ---
    Fire!
[16:03] ---
    Ah, you're finally here.
[16:07] ---
    This is why I'm so fond of you, my lord.
[16:15] ---
    Go, Sebastian!
[16:17] ---
    Very good.
[16:41] ---
    I'll take care of her.
[16:43] ---
    All right.
[16:45] ---
    I kill my brother's enemies.
[16:48] ---
    Then I shall battle you.
[17:05] ---
    It seems you've finally
    found this place, my lord.
[17:09] ---
    It's strange that we should
    face each other like this.
[17:13] ---
    But you know, I rather
    thought this day might come.
[17:18] ---
    You're right, Lau.
[17:20] ---
    Ah, yes, what you're looking
    for is on that shelf.
[17:24] ---
    What do you suppose is
    written there, my lord?
[17:29] ---
    It's diplomatic correspondence proposing
    a military alliance with Germany and Italy.
[17:34] ---
    Your beloved Queen is
    trying to plunge Europe--
[17:37] ---
    no, the world-- into war.
[17:41] ---
    She'll trigger it by invading
    France through opium,
[17:45] ---
    or rather, through Lady Blanc.
[17:47] ---
    Yes, just as your country once
    invaded mine through opium.
[17:55] ---
    Will you still be her guard dog?
[17:58] ---
    Is that why you betrayed me?
[18:02] ---
    No, not at all.
[18:04] ---
    Then why?!
[18:06] ---
    I was your pawn.
[18:08] ---
    The only tie that bound us was profit.
[18:11] ---
    But you see, my lord,
[18:14] ---
    I've been a bit bored.
[18:17] ---
    I was bored with being your pawn,
    so I wanted to play a little game
[18:22] ---
    with our lives on the line.
[18:33] ---
    Your small body houses magnificent power.
[18:37] ---
    However, you're only human.
[18:39] ---
    Why not stop now?
[18:42] ---
    No.
[18:44] ---
    Sebastian!
[18:46] ---
    To think you've pushed Ran-Mao this far...
[18:49] ---
    I see I was right all along:
[18:52] ---
    you're not human, are you?
[18:55] ---
    Believe what you like.
[18:57] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
[19:01] ---
    Interesting. Very interesting, my lord.
[19:04] ---
    Can a world so interesting truly be reality?
[19:09] ---
    Sometimes I think perhaps I've been dreaming
[19:14] ---
    ever since that day.
[19:16] ---
    "He couldn't decide: Was he Zhou
    who'd just dreamt he was a butterfly...
[19:23] ---
    ...or a butterfly now dreaming he was Zhou?"
[19:26] ---
    Sebastian!
[19:28] ---
    I won't let you.
[19:41] ---
    Abber...line...
[19:43] ---
    Ciel...
[19:46] ---
    You're in my way, Inspector.
[20:09] ---
    Magnificent, my lord.
[20:12] ---
    That's just the virtue...
    or rather, the vice...
[20:16] ---
    Lau, you...!
[20:18] ---
    This ship is finished.
[20:20] ---
    You've won the game, my lord.
[20:23] ---
    Apparently I don't have what
    it takes to be a player.
[20:36] ---
    Come, Ran-Mao, let's see
    the rest of the dream.
[20:40] ---
    This entire world is a butterfly's dream.
[20:57] ---
    Hang on, Abberline!
[20:59] ---
    Hang on!
[21:01] ---
    Ciel...
[21:05] ---
    I'm glad you're all right.
[21:09] ---
    I was like you...
[21:11] ---
    when I lost all my family...
[21:15] ---
    I thought I'd never have one again.
[21:18] ---
    I thought I could never get them back...
[21:21] ---
    But I was wrong.
[21:24] ---
    You can get them back.
[21:26] ---
    You're wrong! I--
[21:28] ---
    You have a chance...
[21:32] ---
    to get a future for yourself again...
[21:37] ---
    You mustn't... forget that...
[21:43] ---
    There's no future for me.
[21:46] ---
    I exchanged my future for...
[21:50] ---
    Young master.
[21:53] ---
    You failed, Sebastian.
[21:56] ---
    My life was in danger, but
    you didn't move a muscle.
[22:02] ---
    You were perfectly safe, my lord.
[22:05] ---
    You didn't get hurt, did you?
[22:08] ---
    I could tell that you wouldn't.
[22:11] ---
    That Mr. Abberline would shield you from--
[22:17] ---
    Abberline...
[22:21] ---
    You damn fool.
[22:27] ---
    Yes. What a fool.

    Goodness, you say you want
    to know about my past?
[24:07] ---
    It's not a very interesting story,
    but if you insist...
[24:11] ---
    I served another master
    before my current young master.
[24:15] ---
    That master was-- oh, dear!
[24:17] ---
    That's all for today. Visit
    our website to hear more.
[24:20] ---
    Not really; I've just always
    wanted to say that. Please excuse me.
