[00:20] ---
    Maria! Maria, are you there?
[00:27] ---
    Ms. Luida...
[00:29] ---
    Here's some beef shank stew.
[00:31] ---
    I accidentally made too much.
[00:33] ---
    I do hope you'll have some.
[00:35] ---
    But where did these all come from?
[00:47] ---
    That's a baby's rattle!
[00:50] ---
    Who could have given them to you?
[01:06] ---
    Finny, carry this stuff!
[01:08] ---
    Sure!
[01:09] ---
    Let's see... The young
    master's underclothes...
[01:12] ---
    Tanaka.
[01:14] ---
    How is it coming along?
[01:16] ---
    My lord, it's all been carried
    out according to your orders.
[01:20] ---
    Young master,
[01:22] ---
    I've reserved our lodgings.
[01:26] ---
    I see.
[01:31] ---
    I say, young master, where
    are you going on this trip?
[01:36] ---
    You've been packing all this
    time without even knowing that?!
[01:41] ---
    Paris.

    "His Butler, Dissolution"
[03:22] ---
    Her Majesty arrived in Paris three days ago,
[03:25] ---
    and should be viewing the Exposition now.
[03:29] ---
    I'm sure the hotel will
    be heavily guarded, so...
[03:34] ---
    Young master?
[03:37] ---
    What?
[03:38] ---
    Your mind is somewhere else, isn't it?
[03:42] ---
    Lau said the Queen was "trying to
    plunge Europe--
[03:46] ---
    no, the world-- into war."
[03:50] ---
    Is that why you desire an audience with her?
[03:53] ---
    No.
[03:55] ---
    Was your heart moved by
    Abberline's death, then?
[04:00] ---
    No. This is because they were all my pawns.
[04:04] ---
    Keep your distance from
    me, or you'll get killed.
[04:08] ---
    But that pawn ignored my orders
[04:12] ---
    and just kept sticking his nose in.
[04:14] ---
    The same goes for Lau.
[04:17] ---
    Without a grasp of your pawns' motives
    and strategies, you can't play the game.
[04:22] ---
    That's all.
[04:29] ---
    The Champ de Mars is home
    to the Palace of Fine Arts
[04:32] ---
    and a crowd of national pavilions,
[04:34] ---
    with the Eiffel Tower designated
    as the Exposition entranceway.
[04:38] ---
    There's the Machinery Hall,
    a mammoth work of iron and glass
[04:40] ---
    representing the pinnacle
    of modern technology.
[04:44] ---
    At the Trocadéro Palace is
    a horticultural exhibition.
[04:47] ---
    At the secondary site, the Esplanade
    des Invalides, there's a colonial exhibition.
[04:52] ---
    It features a reproduction
    of the ruins at Angkor,
[04:55] ---
    folk dancing, and a Negro village.
[05:00] ---
    For something a bit different,
[05:02] ---
    I understand Buffalo Bill's Wild
    West Show is here from the States.
[05:09] ---
    We don't see an Expo every day, my lord.
[05:11] ---
    Shall we look around a bit more?
[05:14] ---
    It should give you ideas for new products.
[05:17] ---
    Are you sure?
[05:18] ---
    Yes, they say there's a stuffed
    angel at the Palace of Wonders!
[05:22] ---
    Now that I must see!
[05:24] ---
    A stuffed angel?
[05:32] ---
    What, it's just a monkey?
[05:34] ---
    What a bore.
[05:35] ---
    Let's be on our way.
[05:47] ---
    What is this?!
[05:52] ---
    This is--
[05:53] ---
    Calm yourself, young master.
[05:55] ---
    But...
[05:56] ---
    You've lived in the darkness.
[05:59] ---
    A little dimness shouldn't
    put you out in the least.
[06:04] ---
    Please, evacuate and leave this place to me.
[06:12] ---
    It's no hardship to run through the darkness.
[06:17] ---
    My soul has been running
    through the darkness all this time.

[06:22] ---
    Ciel...
[06:23] ---
    Ciel...
[06:25] ---
    Ever since that day...
[06:29] ---
    I've been running in the dark... the dark...
[06:47] ---
    It's so bright.
[06:49] ---
    Is this really my world?
[07:23] ---
    Goodness gracious, you're in a hurry.
[07:30] ---
    You're...!
[07:31] ---
    Ciel.
[07:33] ---
    It's been a long time.
[07:35] ---
    Your Majesty!
[07:50] ---
    Look at the view from up here.
[07:54] ---
    As she faces the next century,
[07:56] ---
    Europe is on the verge of change.
[07:59] ---
    However...
[08:01] ---
    There's a stain over there.
[08:05] ---
    There's stagnation over there.
[08:09] ---
    There's uncleanliness right here.
[08:12] ---
    The entire slate must be wiped clean.
[08:17] ---
    There can be no creation without destruction.
[08:20] ---
    In order for the new century to be pure,
[08:23] ---
    I cleansed the house that has taken
    on all that is negative in our nation:
[08:28] ---
    the house of Phantomhive.
[08:40] ---
    Such poor taste.
[08:49] ---
    This is...
[08:53] ---
    ♪ London Bridge is falling down,
    falling down, falling down. ♪
[09:00] ---
    --♪ London Bridge is falling
    down, my fair lady. ♪
[09:01] ---
    --She's here.
[09:04] ---
    --The one I searched for...!
[09:15] ---
    Might I ask you something?
[09:18] ---
    What is it?
[09:19] ---
    You didn't just kill them;
    you made it beastly. Why?
[09:24] ---
    Mind your language, Ciel.
[09:28] ---
    I cleansed them.
[09:29] ---
    That's what you call "cleansing"?
    Demeaning the dead?!
[09:33] ---
    Demeaning?
[09:35] ---
    That's right!
[09:36] ---
    Demeaning...?
[09:38] ---
    I merely wanted to pay what
    tribute I could to the Phantomhives
[09:44] ---
    after they showed me such loyalty...
[09:46] ---
    What?!
[10:00] ---
    Surprised? She's all but
    aglow with youth, isn't she?
[10:05] ---
    Ash!
[10:08] ---
    The loss of her beloved husband
[10:12] ---
    ended Her Majesty's days of happiness.
[10:15] ---
    In her grief over his death,
[10:18] ---
    she once tried to end her own life.
[10:28] ---
    I joined his body with her own,
[10:34] ---
    so that she might live with
    the man she loved forever.
[10:41] ---
    His body...?
[10:43] ---
    I can tell that my husband
    is pleased with my work.
[10:49] ---
    His body twinges inside me.
[10:54] ---
    Twinge... twinge...
[10:57] ---
    It's the throbbing of life.
[10:59] ---
    The joy of truly becoming
    one with the one you love...
[11:04] ---
    I felt that if I gave the
    Phantomhives that same joy,
[11:08] ---
    it would not be a ghastly death at all.
[11:15] ---
    The Queen and her husband firmly intend
[11:19] ---
    to guide England to a world of perfect light.
[11:21] ---
    That aim has purged them
    of their own impurities,
[11:25] ---
    transforming Her Majesty
[11:29] ---
    into the chaste girl you see before you.
[11:33] ---
    What a lofty aim!
[11:36] ---
    She is a worthy master for an angel.
[11:38] ---
    Angel? Don't tell me you're--
[11:41] ---
    Ash, at least let Ciel fall to your blade.
[11:48] ---
    Ash's blade is a thing of beauty.
[11:52] ---
    It goes forth as the brightness
    of the new century.
[11:56] ---
    I shall draw my sword
    against the beauty of thy wisdom,
[11:59] ---
    and I shall punish the beast within thee.
[12:02] ---
    I shall bring thee down to the pit.
[12:06] ---
    May an immaculate heaven greet thee,
[12:10] ---
    Ciel Phantomhive.
[12:20] ---
    Your precious sword is
    meaningless if you can't land a blow.
[12:26] ---
    This may be the end, my young master.
[12:31] ---
    Your orders?
[12:36] ---
    Ciel...
[12:38] ---
    Kill Ash.
[12:42] ---
    Will that be all, my lord?
[12:46] ---
    Kill the Queen!
[12:49] ---
    Ciel!
[12:50] ---
    Very good.
[13:03] ---
    How dreadful!
[13:04] ---
    Ciel, please, stop him!
[13:07] ---
    Ciel!
[13:13] ---
    --What's that?
[13:14] ---
    --Watch out!
[13:14] ---
    --Run!
[13:20] ---
    Sebastian, stop!
[13:23] ---
    Why?
[13:24] ---
    We've attracted attention.
[13:26] ---
    At this rate, the commotion
    will only get bigger.
[13:29] ---
    Why should we bother about them, my lord?
[13:32] ---
    They're only humans.
[13:34] ---
    No! We're withdrawing!
[13:43] ---
    Angel wings...
[14:11] ---
    Why did you stop me?
[14:14] ---
    I told you: we would have
    attracted too much attention. That's all.
[14:19] ---
    I see.
[14:21] ---
    What are you trying to say?!
[14:23] ---
    You told me that what you wanted
[14:25] ---
    was vengeance against the
    ones who dragged you into hell.
[14:30] ---
    Did the vow you swore that day mean nothing?
[14:35] ---
    You have summoned me here.
[14:38] ---
    That can never be changed, and
    nothing sacrificed can be regained.
[14:45] ---
    Now choose.
[14:47] ---
    This is an order.
[14:54] ---
    Kill them!
[15:00] ---
    I will become your sword,
    and carry out your revenge.
[15:04] ---
    In exchange...
[15:06] ---
    If you want my soul, you're welcome to it.
[15:10] ---
    You have no doubts?
[15:12] ---
    Don't be tedious!
[15:15] ---
    I thought you had no doubts that day.
[15:20] ---
    Will you still swear loyalty to the Queen,
    even after learning the truth?
[15:25] ---
    I never felt any loyalty
    to her to begin with.
[15:28] ---
    I just acted as the head of the Phantomhives.
[15:33] ---
    You've decided you value your soul, then?
[15:36] ---
    What would I want with my soul?!
[15:38] ---
    You're being tedious. What do you--
[15:47] ---
    You seem tired, my lord.
[15:49] ---
    Please, return to the hotel and rest.
[15:56] ---
    What a foul capital.
[16:03] ---
    Ever since that day, even buttoning
    my shirts has been your duty.
[16:08] ---
    I didn't think a demon
    could ever play a butler,
[16:12] ---
    but you carried it off splendidly.
[16:15] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who
    can't do this much...
[16:20] ---
    That's enough talk for tonight.
[16:22] ---
    You should go to sleep, young master.
[16:31] ---
    Forget everything and have pleasant dreams.
[16:52] ---
    Ciel. Ciel.
[16:57] ---
    You have a chance to get a
    future for yourself again.
[17:03] ---
    To get...?
[17:08] ---
    Give up your title of "Queen's guard dog,"
[17:11] ---
    give up the hatred you've
    held for so long...
[17:14] ---
    and get it back...
[17:24] ---
    Sebastian...?
[17:28] ---
    Sebastian!
[17:29] ---
    Sebastian, where are you?
    Where is the morning...
[17:31] ---
    Can't you hear me?
[17:41] ---
    Sebastian!
[17:43] ---
    I'm Phantomhive. Room 702.
[17:46] ---
    Do you know where my man went?
[17:48] ---
    One moment please, my lord.
[18:01] ---
    The mark wasn't gone.
[18:04] ---
    But...
[18:05] ---
    Forget everything and have pleasant dreams.
[18:10] ---
    He would never wish for my pleasure.
[18:14] ---
    And "forget everything"?
[18:18] ---
    That was... a farewell.
[18:24] ---
    I can certainly get back to London on my own.
[18:33] ---
    Take me to the Port of Calais.
[18:36] ---
    Excuse me? Is that any
    way to ask a favor, kid?
[18:42] ---
    How much do you want?
[18:54] ---
    Here we are.
[18:55] ---
    What? I said the Port of Calais!
[18:58] ---
    Sorry, but I live in the opposite direction.
[19:02] ---
    --Down you go...
[19:03] ---
    --Let me down!
[19:05] ---
    You should eventually hit
    the Port of Boulogne-sur-Mer
[19:09] ---
    if you go that way and make a few turns.
[19:13] ---
    Get back here and do what I
    paid you for, you bounder!
[19:48] ---
    A room for the night.
[19:50] ---
    How will you pay?
[19:52] ---
    I can't right now, but I'll send
    you the money from London later.
[19:59] ---
    Don't get fresh with me!
[20:01] ---
    Just who do you think I am?!
[20:02] ---
    I'm Ciel Phantomhive!
    Everyone knows that name!
[20:06] ---
    Haven't you ever heard
    of the Funtom Company?!
[20:09] ---
    Look at this ring!
[20:10] ---
    The family heads have passed
    it down for generations!
[20:13] ---
    You can pay with that, then.
[20:16] ---
    I'll put you up here in
    exchange for the ring.
[20:19] ---
    That gem's not bad.
[20:21] ---
    Shall I throw in breakfast, too?
[20:23] ---
    What?!
[20:27] ---
    You've got a lot of gall for
    someone who runs a fleabag hotel!
[20:40] ---
    I'm hungry.
[20:46] ---
    It's cold. Come here.
[20:55] ---
    Now even you're trying to make a fool of me?!
[20:59] ---
    Stop!
[21:10] ---
    I was this close to the port...?
[21:15] ---
    But I wandered everywhere,
[21:20] ---
    unable to find it.
[21:23] ---
    When it was right here all along...
[22:00] ---
    --Oh no, no!
[22:02] ---
    --Water! Water! Water! Get some water!
[22:04] ---
    Right!
[22:49] ---

    The cry of a soulless beast echoes
    through the burning streets of London.

[24:08] ---
    And I no longer have a master.
[24:11] ---
    Would you by any chance
    like to sign a contract with me?

[24:16] ---
    Don't worry; it will only hurt for a moment.
[24:19] ---
    I shall humbly plunge you
[24:21] ---
    into a deep, fathomless, soothing darkness.
[24:25] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Up in Flames."

[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Up in Flames"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell... of a demon.
