[00:13] ---
    This will joggle you for
    a moment, young master.
[00:18] ---
    "His Butler, Fluent"
[00:34] ---
    Where are we going?
[00:36] ---
    Here in England there are several
    bridges named "Devil's Bridge,"
[00:39] ---
    so called because legend has
    it they were made by demons.
[00:43] ---
    In contrast, the Tower
    Bridge is a holy bridge
[00:46] ---
    which I surmise that the angel
    instructed Her Majesty to build.
[01:00] ---
    Human sacrifices?
[01:03] ---
    This is meant to be a "holy bridge"?
[01:06] ---
    Taken too far, saintliness
    is far beastlier than evil.
[01:12] ---
    Please wait here, young master.
[01:15] ---
    I'm coming along!
[01:17] ---
    Let me put this plainly:
    you would drag me down.
[01:20] ---
    I see. In other words, you're no
    match for him if you're fettered down.
[01:26] ---
    Very well, then.
[01:27] ---
    You shall have a prime view, my lord.
[01:40] ---
    They're burning down...
[01:42] ---
    Her Majesty's dream, and the human world.
[01:46] ---
    Ah, at last, the great and
    notable day of our Father cometh!
[01:51] ---
    The signs shall be blood,
    and fire, and vapour of smoke.
[01:56] ---
    Isn't that right, demon?
[02:01] ---
    Why did you kill the Queen too?
[02:04] ---
    Her clouded fish-eyes.
[02:06] ---
    Fish-eyes?
[02:08] ---
    Her eyes should have been
    fixed on the future,
[02:10] ---
    but they were held captive by the past,
    and they dulled and rotted.
[02:13] ---
    There was nothing for me
    to do but cleanse her.
[02:18] ---
    This seat is a bit uncomfortable,
[02:20] ---
    but I believe it has the
    best view in the house.
[02:23] ---
    I agree.
[02:24] ---
    Your orders, my lord?
[02:30] ---
    Kill him...
[02:32] ---
    Kill the angel!
[02:37] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[02:39] ---
    When this bridge is completed,
[02:42] ---
    it will seal eastern London
    from uncleanliness.
[02:46] ---
    As an angel, I have no choice but to purge
[02:50] ---
    any demons who alight upon this gate.
[02:54] ---
    Purge them into pure-white beings:
[02:57] ---
    without stain, without heart, without life.
[03:15] ---
    Sebastian!
[03:22] ---
    Oh, I keep reaping and reaping,
    and it's just no good!
[03:26] ---
    Hmm, I suppose wasted
    effort is the privilege of youth.
[03:31] ---
    What do you mean "wasted"?!
[03:33] ---
    This black stuff is made of the joys,
[03:37] ---
    agonies, and jealousies of the dead.
[03:39] ---
    Yes, what you'd call their hearts.
[03:42] ---
    Once the heart has slipped out of a soul,
[03:46] ---
    it can hardly be called a soul anymore.
[03:49] ---
    I doubt they can be stored
    in the reapers' library.
[03:52] ---
    Why should a heart matter?
[03:58] ---
    Hey, it's blank!
[04:06] ---
    This mist...
[04:08] ---
    Yes, it feels wonderful.
[04:12] ---
    This feels wonderful...
[04:14] ---
    They're so warm and clammy;
[04:16] ---
    nicer to the touch than the finest furs.
[04:20] ---
    An angel clothed in uncleanliness?
[04:23] ---
    How the mighty have fallen.
[04:25] ---
    The pleasures of uncleanliness are
    unpleasant and unbearable to me.
[04:29] ---
    However...
[04:32] ---
    The despair of uncleanliness gives me power.
[04:52] ---
    I grow stronger and stronger.
[04:55] ---
    Oh, what to do?
[04:58] ---
    I still...
[05:00] ---
    ...haven't given up on you, you know.
[05:04] ---
    I don't go in for women
    who fornicate with dogs.
[05:08] ---
    If you won't embrace me, a woman...
[05:13] ---
    I will stay in this man's form, as the Sun...
[05:21] ---
    ...and sink my shaft into
    you all the way to the hilt.
[05:27] ---
    Your taste really couldn't get any worse.
[05:35] ---
    The Final Judgment approaches.
[05:38] ---
    Hear me, demon: your chest
    shall be the sheath to my sword.
[05:43] ---
    Take it into yourself!
[05:51] ---
    Sebastian!
[05:54] ---
    Someone's plundering souls, hmm?
[05:57] ---
    Will!
[05:57] ---
    It's unforgivable for anyone to
    impinge on the reapers' interests.
[06:02] ---
    Just this once, I'll take on unpaid overtime.
[06:08] ---
    Grell Sutcliff.
[06:11] ---
    Woo-hoo! I'm in a deadly good mood!
[06:15] ---
    I'd like each of you to take
    out a good number of them.
[06:18] ---
    We'll write off the afterparty
    as a business expense.
[06:25] ---
    Demon, this pain is a blessing.
[06:30] ---
    Supreme pleasure...
[06:33] ---
    the zenith can only be enjoyed
    by first enduring searing pain.
[06:37] ---
    I see.
[06:46] ---
    Sebastian!
[06:50] ---
    Oh, young master...
[06:54] ---
    That's right-- the enemy's
    only lost its queen.

[06:58] ---
    The game isn't over yet.
[07:00] ---
    Until I hear the final call...
[07:05] ---
    How dare you take your eyes off me
    in the midst of our glorious battle?!
[07:08] ---
    You spoil my mood.
[07:39] ---
    Those blasted reapers dare to interfere
[07:41] ---
    with this noble and hallowed ceremony?!
[07:45] ---
    What a pity.
[07:47] ---
    It doesn't look as though we'll
    be able to greet this "zenith."
[07:51] ---
    Shall I make my counterattack?
[07:55] ---
    I'd hoped to have more fun with you,
    but there's no help for it...
[08:17] ---
    The demon hound!
[08:19] ---
    They did it.
[08:24] ---
    Useless...
[08:27] ---
    Useless... Useless...
[08:31] ---
    Useless...
[08:33] ---
    They're all useless!
[08:35] ---
    Young master!
[08:36] ---
    Taste the flames of hell!
[08:53] ---
    Sebastian...
[08:57] ---
    Young master, I'd like to ask a favor.
[09:03] ---
    Please close your eyes.
[09:05] ---
    Sebastian...?
[09:07] ---
    I am a butler.
[09:09] ---
    I cannot damage my master's
    impression of me by looking unsightly.
[09:14] ---
    Please don't open your eyes until I say to.
[09:21] ---
    All right.
[09:32] ---
    Now I can show you my true self.
[09:41] ---
    My unsightly, disgusting,
[09:45] ---
    repulsive...
[09:48] ---
    ...true form.
[09:55] ---
    A-A demon...
[10:23] ---
    Young master, can you survive long
    enough for me to count down from ten?
[10:28] ---
    Yes!
[10:30] ---
    Then here we go.
[10:32] ---
    Ten!
[10:34] ---
    Nine!
[10:35] ---
    Revolting!
[10:37] ---
    Eight!
[10:38] ---
    Unclean, unfruitful...
[10:39] ---
    Seven!
[10:40] ---
    Unnecessary, unfertile!
[10:42] ---
    Six!
[10:43] ---
    Unprofitable! Unlawful!
[10:45] ---
    Five!
[10:49] ---
    Four!
[10:51] ---
    Three!
[10:53] ---
    Filth! Filth, filth, filth, filth...!
[10:56] ---
    Two!
[11:01] ---
    One.
[11:29] ---
    It's over, young master.
[12:19] ---
    You're a liar, my lord.
[12:23] ---
    You promised me you'd
    live until I got to zero.

[12:28] ---
    I lied.
[12:31] ---
    I won't let you die yet.
[12:34] ---
    That's right... you don't lie.
[12:39] ---
    There's something I want to ask you.
[12:44] ---
    Yes, my lord?
[12:46] ---
    Who are you right now?
[12:48] ---
    What a silly question.
[12:50] ---
    When I stand before you,
[12:52] ---
    I am ever and always one hell of a butler.
[13:03] ---
    So a genuine angel completes it...
[13:07] ---
    It truly is a holy gate.
[13:31] ---
    Hey, bring that over there!
[13:33] ---
    Everyone form a queue! There's
    still more water left!
[13:37] ---
    Here, everybody gets two.
[13:40] ---
    What is it?
[13:41] ---
    Curry bread. You don't have
    to stand still to eat it,
[13:46] ---
    and most of all, it's a balm to the soul.
[13:48] ---
    Eat up, and smile!
[13:51] ---
    Right! Thanks!
[13:56] ---
    And yet, perhaps this was God's way
[14:00] ---
    of testing our spirits.
[14:05] ---
    We stood firm in the face of disaster,
[14:07] ---
    and used our very sorrows
    as fuel to rise up again.
[14:11] ---
    As we greet the new century,
    a new British Empire is being born!
[14:21] ---
    A false Queen standing
    in the ashes of London...
[14:26] ---
    Commissioner?
[14:27] ---
    There's no difference between real
    and fake if enough people believe.
[14:33] ---
    That's what he didn't understand.
[14:37] ---
    We're going.
[14:38] ---
    Yes, Sir!
[14:44] ---
    My lady!
[14:46] ---
    Paula.
[14:47] ---
    They say the fires in London have died down.
[14:50] ---
    We can go back home now!
[14:53] ---
    And the footman I sent to Ciel's mansion?
[14:57] ---
    I'm sorry, my lady. He still hasn't...
[15:01] ---
    I see.
[15:03] ---
    What pretty flowers!
[15:07] ---
    Yes, they're so blue,
[15:09] ---
    they made me think of Ciel's ring...
[15:13] ---
    The ring?
[15:17] ---
    If you'll allow me one...
[15:23] ---
    Here!
[15:32] ---
    Let's make another one, my lady.
[15:35] ---
    But...
[15:36] ---
    Another one, or two, or
    three! After all, look!
[15:39] ---
    See how many flowers there are?
[15:43] ---
    We'll make as many rings as it takes.
[15:47] ---
    As many as it takes...
[16:07] ---
    You're awake, young master?
[16:12] ---
    Where are we?
[16:15] ---
    Do you want to know?
[16:16] ---
    That's why I asked.
[16:19] ---
    No, on second thought...
[16:24] ---
    I have a feeling I don't need to know.
[16:28] ---
    I seem to have slept for quite a while.
[16:33] ---
    What's this?
[16:35] ---
    Your Cinematic Record.
    Apparently it's drifted all the way here.
[16:41] ---
    I see. So this is...
[16:46] ---
    the life I've lived.
[16:49] ---
    I'm...
[16:51] ---
    dead now.
[16:54] ---
    Not yet, my lord.
[16:56] ---
    I will be delivering your death presently.
[17:00] ---
    I'll take full responsibility for you
    until the end... as your loyal butler.
[17:08] ---
    Elizabeth is sure to cry like a baby...
[17:12] ---
    Yes. Lady Elizabeth's love
    for you runs very deep.
[17:17] ---
    She was a sobbing mess
    when Madam Red died, too.
[17:23] ---
    That's because she cried your tears and hers,
[17:26] ---
    since you were being mulish.
[17:29] ---
    Are those three dead?
[17:33] ---
    I couldn't say, my lord. The last I saw them,
    they appeared to be breathing.
[17:37] ---
    Well, they are uncommonly stubborn, at least.
[17:42] ---
    And Pluto?
[17:44] ---
    Shall I collect his bones
    later and bury them?
[17:47] ---
    His bones?
[17:51] ---
    No. What meaning could bones have?
[17:55] ---
    Everything is...
[17:57] ---
    Everything is what?
[17:59] ---
    Never mind... I imagine
    it's still a bit too soon
[18:05] ---
    to speak of everything.
[18:10] ---
    What is this light?
[18:12] ---
    The feelings held for you by the
    people who've passed through your life.
[18:19] ---
    Feelings for me, eh?
[18:24] ---
    They're very pretty.
[18:25] ---
    Pretty?
[18:27] ---
    Yes.
[18:28] ---
    Parting with everyone doesn't make
    me feel any loneliness or sadness.
[18:32] ---
    But I do think these are pretty.
[18:40] ---
    What's this?
[18:42] ---
    Something I brought to keep you
    occupied on the long journey, my lord.
[18:47] ---
    It's a diary Tanaka left behind
    before fleeing the mansion.
[18:51] ---
    Tanaka?
[18:54] ---
    The truth that I can tell
    you, young master...

[19:00] ---
    That can't be!
[19:02] ---
    Her Majesty is about
[19:05] ---
    to obliterate the Earl
    Phantomhive... that is, me.
[19:08] ---
    My lord...
[19:10] ---
    I bear no grudge against her.
[19:13] ---
    This is just the tide of the times.
[19:16] ---
    But I'd like you to keep
    it a secret from Ciel.
[19:21] ---
    Even if I'm killed, he should
    remain loyal to the Queen.
[19:26] ---
    But my lord...
[19:29] ---
    Hatred achieves nothing.
[19:36] ---
    So that angel wasn't entirely off the mark
[19:40] ---
    with the fraud she showed me.
[19:43] ---
    What now, young master?
[19:46] ---
    Nothing. All my targets for revenge are gone.
[19:51] ---
    And...
[19:54] ---
    Even I'm gone now.
[20:02] ---
    A ring?
[20:04] ---
    A blue one. Allow me...
[20:14] ---
    That has to be difficult with only one hand.
[20:19] ---
    I wanted to be a perfect
    butler to the last...
[20:23] ---
    But it seems that wasn't to be.
[20:26] ---
    This is nothing.
[20:29] ---
    That suits you very well, young master.
[20:33] ---
    I am Ciel Phantomhive.
[20:37] ---
    Yes... just Ciel Phantomhive.
[21:10] ---
    Here, young master.
[21:12] ---
    So this is where it ends?
[21:15] ---
    Yes.
[21:17] ---
    That bird is eyeing me.
[21:19] ---
    Yes.
[21:21] ---
    After you've taken my
    soul, give it what's left.
[21:25] ---
    You're as kind as ever, young master.
[21:29] ---
    Will it hurt?
[21:31] ---
    It will, a bit.
[21:34] ---
    I will make it as gentle as I can, though.
[21:36] ---
    No, go ahead and be brutal.
[21:41] ---
    Etch the pain deep into my
    soul as proof that I lived.
[21:51] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[22:35] ---
    Now then, young master...
