[00:06] ---
    Nooooooooooooo!
[00:24] ---
    Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!
[00:29] ---
    I-I'm so sorry! I'll wipe you off right away!
[00:38] ---
    Young master, why did you
    take in this useless bum?
[00:42] ---
    Are you one to talk?
[00:45] ---
    I miscalculated.
[00:47] ---
    Say, Ciel, my Grell is completely useless!
[00:52] ---
    Would you mind having Sebastian
    train him as a butler?
[00:56] ---
    I'll reward you handsomely. All right?
[00:59] ---
    I thought the only one
    inconvenienced would be Sebastian,
[01:02] ---
    and I wouldn't suffer any harm...
[01:07] ---
    I'm terribly sorry for causing
    you all such trouble...
[01:11] ---
    I know! I will die once and for all...
[01:15] ---
    I'll atone with my death!
[01:17] ---
    Hey, don't do anythin' rash!
[01:19] ---
    Wh-When did he get that knife...?
[01:23] ---
    No need for you to die.
[01:27] ---
    If blood sprays everywhere, the room
    will be that much harder to clean.
[01:33] ---
    Sebastian, you're so kind...
[01:37] ---
    Was that kind?
[01:40] ---
    In any case, I cannot believe
    you would serve the young master
[01:43] ---
    such fragranceless tea.
[01:46] ---
    Now pay attention:
[01:47] ---
    you put in a scoop of leaves for
    each person and one more for the pot.
[01:52] ---
    A half-pint of boiling water should do it.
[02:02] ---
    Young master, it's almost time.
[02:06] ---
    I have a carriage waiting out front.
[02:09] ---
    Right.
[02:10] ---
    All right, everyone,
    I'll leave the cleaning up to you.
[02:14] ---
    Grell, please just sit and rest
[02:17] ---
    so that you don't cause unnecessary trouble.
[02:20] ---
    If you should decide to rest eternally,
[02:24] ---
    I ask that you please do so outside.
[02:28] ---
    Sebastian... You're so kind...
[02:39] ---
    "Black Butler"
[02:45] ---
    There is no color to our meeting;
    it blows through in monochrome

[02:52] ---
    I go where your cool fingers beckon me
[02:57] ---
    I am like troublesome ice after the melt
[03:04] ---
    You gently scoop me up to your
    mouth and play with my upper lip

[03:12] ---
    Still, I search for a form of love
[03:18] ---
    The dry eyes that shape the
    present rather than a distant time

[03:24] ---
    Want to end like this, cloaked
[03:30] ---
    But the night ignores that
    wish and brings morning

[03:37] ---
    With your gentle,
    passionate, and dastardly kiss

[03:44] ---
     Paint this final night
[03:47] ---
    The moon illuminates us
[04:02] ---
    "His Butler, Omnipotent"
[04:14] ---
    Extra! Extra!
[04:17] ---
    Mysterious murder of a prostitute!
[04:25] ---
    Hi there, kid. Your dad send you here?
[04:30] ---
    Pardon, but we've come to
    pick up my master's walking stick.
[04:34] ---
    Oh, you're here for this stick.
[04:39] ---
    I was wondering who'd use a cane so short,
[04:43] ---
    but I never imagined it
    would be such a young chi--
[04:47] ---
    It's a magnificent stick.
    Straight as an arrow.
[04:56] ---
    Keep the change.
[05:02] ---
    That ridiculous strength
    of Finny's is a nuisance.
[05:05] ---
    How could someone *accidentally
    *break a walking stick?
[05:08] ---
    I had to have a new one made!
[05:11] ---
    Yes, a pity you had to go to the trouble
    when you're not even any taller.
[05:16] ---
    And today we gained yet
    another troublesome servant.
[05:20] ---
    Let's not stay out too long.
[05:23] ---
    Look, Mama, it's a Bitter Rabbit
    from Funtom! It's brand new!
[05:28] ---
    The Funtom Company...
[05:30] ---
    The toy and confection maker
[05:33] ---
    that achieved rapid growth
    in under three years.
[05:35] ---
    This is a magnificent manor that really
    shows the greatness of the company!
[05:39] ---
    Oh, how stately it is!
[05:42] ---
    It's barely been two
    years since it was built.
[05:45] ---
    What? But it's so dignified...
[05:48] ---
    That's only natural.
[05:53] ---
    Oh, it's Real Tanaka!
[05:56] ---
    It's been three months, yes!
[05:58] ---
    This manor is built to be
    exactly like the old one.
[06:02] ---
    It's faithfully reproduced
[06:05] ---
    down to the finest cracks in the pillars.
[06:08] ---
    Reproduced?
[06:10] ---
    The entire Phantomhive estate
[06:13] ---
    went down in flames three years ago.
[06:20] ---
    Th-Then... Forgive me for asking,
[06:23] ---
    but did Master Ciel's parents...?
[06:26] ---
    Yes. The previous generation
    of Phantomhives died in the fire.
[06:38] ---
    I see...
[06:43] ---
    Tanaka?!
[06:44] ---
    His normal heat consumption is very low,
[06:47] ---
    so when he's Real Tanaka for
    more than three minutes,
[06:50] ---
    it makes him sleepy.
[06:51] ---
    I-I see...
[07:05] ---
    Why skulls?
[07:06] ---
    I-I've caused you trouble again...
[07:11] ---
    I'll... I'll atone with my death!
[07:13] ---
    Quit dyin' over every little thing!
[07:14] ---
    But if I don't hang myself,
    it will be a stain on my honor!
[07:21] ---
    --Grell!
[07:22] ---
    --Grell!
[07:30] ---
    You must be tired, young master.
[07:32] ---
    I'll prepare your tea right away.
[07:39] ---
    What's the mat--
[07:47] ---
    My mansion...
[07:49] ---
    What in the world happened?
[07:52] ---
    Sebastian!
[07:55] ---
    What on Earth happened?
[07:56] ---
    Or rather, why are you dressed like that?
[07:59] ---
    Ask the crazy girl!
[08:01] ---
    "Crazy girl"?
[08:10] ---
    What are you doing?!
[08:12] ---
    As you can see, I'm on the verge of dying.
[08:16] ---
    Get him down, Sebastian.
[08:18] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[08:21] ---
    Ciel!
[08:23] ---
    Ciel, I missed you!
[08:27] ---
    Elizabeth!
[08:28] ---
    Aw, you know I'm always
    telling you to call me "Lizzie"!
[08:32] ---
    Oh, every time I see you,
    you're just so cute!
[08:36] ---
    Lady Elizabeth.
[08:38] ---
    Oh, Sebastian. Good afternoon.
[08:41] ---
    Oh, no, you took him down?
[08:44] ---
    Yes, my lady. He mars the beauty of the room.
[08:46] ---
    Aw, but I made such a lovely
    decoration out of him!
[08:50] ---
    Decoration?
[08:51] ---
    Yes! Look, the salon is
    so cute now too, isn't it?
[08:56] ---
    My... mansion...
[08:58] ---
    Only cute things can exist in this mansion!
[09:02] ---
    Right, Antoinette?
[09:08] ---
    Even you, Tanaka?
[09:09] ---
    I have a present for you, too.
[09:12] ---
    Here.
[09:14] ---
    Oh, it's so cute!
[09:15] ---
    You're always dressed all in black,
    so I thought this might be good!
[09:23] ---
    I'm deeply honored at your consideration
[09:27] ---
    for my humble self.
[09:29] ---
    Don't mention it!
[09:30] ---
    More importantly, Lizzie,
    what are you doing here?
[09:33] ---
    Where's Auntie?
[09:34] ---
    I snuck away because I
    wanted to see you, Ciel!
[09:37] ---
    Sn-Snuck away?!
[09:39] ---
    What were you thinking?
[09:41] ---
    Er... Who is she?
[09:44] ---
    Oh, this is the daughter
    of the Marquess of Scotney,
[09:47] ---
    Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford.
[09:52] ---
    Sc-Scotney? Eliza-za-za...
[09:56] ---
    Lady Elizabeth is my
    young master's betrothed.
[09:59] ---
    Ah, his betrothed.
[10:02] ---
    Be...
[10:03] ---
    tro...
[10:04] ---
    thed?!
[10:06] ---
    Lady Elizabeth is the
    daughter of a marquess, after all.
[10:09] ---
    Noblemen must marry noble ladies, obviously.
[10:12] ---
    Say, I know!
[10:14] ---
    Now that the mansion
    looks so lovely and all,
[10:17] ---
    let's have a ball tonight!
[10:21] ---
    And I'll dance all around
    with my fiancé as my escort!
[10:24] ---
    Oh, how lovely!
[10:26] ---
    Hey! Who gave you leave to--
[10:28] ---
    Wear the clothes I picked
    out for you, won't you Ciel?
[10:30] ---
    I just know they'll be adorable!
[10:32] ---
    Listen to me when I'm--
[10:34] ---
    And I must dress to the nines as well!
[10:36] ---
    Come on, I'll make you even cuter too!
[10:42] ---
    Listen to me!
[10:51] ---
    I believe the wisest thing to do today
[10:55] ---
    would be to go along with her
    plan and then ask her to leave.
[10:57] ---
    Just give her some dinner or
    something and get her out of here!
[11:01] ---
    I don't have the time to go
    along with her girlish hobbies.
[11:04] ---
    But my lord, it appears
    Lady Elizabeth desires a dance.
[11:12] ---
    Young master?
[11:14] ---
    What?
[11:15] ---
    I've never seen you dance,
    but I presume you can do it?
[11:23] ---
    Well, that explains why you play
    the wallflower when asked to parties.
[11:29] ---
    I'm busy with work. I have
    no time to waste on play--
[11:34] ---
    With all due respect, young master,
[11:36] ---
    it's called "social dance" for a reason,
[11:39] ---
    and is a skill that will naturally be
SIGN    "Orchard Fruit Cake"
[11:41] ---
    necessary at soirées and banquets.
[11:45] ---
    The world expects a first-class
    gentleman to know how to dance.
[11:49] ---
    If you reject any more dance invitations,
[11:52] ---
    your reputation in society
    circles will plummet...
[11:55] ---
    Fine, I'll do it! That'll
    make you happy, right?
[12:00] ---
    Call a tutor or something.
    Mrs. Bright or Mrs. Rodkin...
[12:03] ---
    There's no time to call a
    madam now. By your leave...
[12:10] ---
    I will instruct you in dancing.
[12:13] ---
    Don't be ridiculous! I can't
    dance with a tall man like you!
[12:17] ---
    And do you even know how to dance?
[12:20] ---
    Leave the Viennese waltzes to me.
[12:23] ---
    I was often a guest at Schönbrunn Palace.
[12:29] ---
    May I have this dance, my lord?
[12:45] ---
    Now, begin the first step from your heel.
[12:51] ---
    Please hold the lady's back firmly.
[12:54] ---
    When the music begins,
    lead with your left foot.
[12:57] ---
    Now.
[13:01] ---
    Next, a Natural Turn.
[13:04] ---
    Slide your foot forward.
[13:16] ---
    Your instinct for dance is not so
    much lacking as catastrophic, my lord.
[13:21] ---
    You mustn't simply hang off of me.
[13:24] ---
    You're just too tall!
[13:26] ---
    Most importantly,
[13:28] ---
    you must first do something
    about that glum expression.
[13:31] ---
    It's rude to the lady.
[13:34] ---
    Here, smile. As if you're having fun.
[13:37] ---
    Let go!
[13:39] ---
    Young master...
[13:41] ---
    Anyway, I've...
[13:43] ---
    ...I've...
[13:46] ---
    ...forgotten how to smile
    like I'm having fun...
[13:59] ---
    Th-This is...
[14:02] ---
    such a humiliating outfit...
[14:05] ---
    Come on, just give up on this one.
[14:07] ---
    This girlish, infantile white color...
[14:11] ---
    If I have to dress up,
    I wish it were a passionate red,
[14:14] ---
    so I could look sexy and decadent!
[14:16] ---
    That's your problem?!
[14:18] ---
    If my only other choice is to live in shame,
[14:21] ---
    I'd rather... I'd rather die...!
[14:28] ---
    You're not going to stop me?
[14:32] ---
    I'm sure blue will look good on Ciel!
[14:36] ---
    I fell in love with the clothes I
    bought while I was shopping in London!
[14:41] ---
    All right, it's your turn next.
    I'll make you adorable!
[14:48] ---
    I'm really farsighted, and I
    can't see anything without these, no!
[14:52] ---
    You mustn't look at the
    dream world with your eyes.
[14:54] ---
    Feel it with your heart!
[14:56] ---
    M-My heart?!
[14:57] ---
    Let her be.
[15:04] ---
    Ciel! You really are adorable!
[15:08] ---
    I judged rightly!
[15:12] ---
    Oh, my.
[15:14] ---
    Ciel, where is the ring I brought you?
[15:17] ---
    There was a cute one to match your clothes!
[15:20] ---
    This ring is fine.
[15:22] ---
    No! I went to so much trouble
    to make everything cute,
[15:25] ---
    but the ring isn't cute at all!
[15:28] ---
    So you don't want to wear the
    one I brought?! You're so cruel!
[15:32] ---
    That's not it. This ring is--
[15:36] ---
    Just kidding!
[15:38] ---
    Got it!
[15:40] ---
    Lizzie!
[15:41] ---
    Yes, it's far too big! The one I
    picked out is perfectly-sized and--
[15:46] ---
    Give it back!
[15:50] ---
    Give that back, Elizabeth.
[15:53] ---
    Wh-Why are you so angry?
[15:56] ---
    I went to such trouble...
[16:00] ---
    What?! All I did was try
    to make you adorable!
[16:05] ---
    So why are you so angry?!
[16:07] ---
    I hate this stupid ring!
[16:25] ---
    Young master...
[16:28] ---
    You forgot the new walking stick we had made.
[16:42] ---
    That ring was very important to my master.
[16:46] ---
    The heads of the Phantomhive family
    passed it down for generations.
[16:49] ---
    It was one-of-a-kind.
[16:53] ---
    Please forgive my master his rudeness.
[16:56] ---
    I... I destroyed such a precious ring...?
[17:06] ---
    Ciel, I...
[17:14] ---
    Ciel, how could you do that?!
[17:16] ---
    It doesn't matter. It was just an old ring.
[17:22] ---
    Even without that thing...
[17:25] ---
    ...I'm still the head of the Phantomhives!
[17:37] ---
    How long are you going to cry?
[17:40] ---
    B-But...
[17:43] ---
    Your face is a mess. And
    you call yourself a lady?
[17:49] ---
    I don't fancy asking a lady
    with such a messy face to dance...
[17:54] ---
    Ciel...
[18:04] ---
    H-How wonderful!
[18:06] ---
    So Sebastian can even play the violin!
[18:10] ---
    I'll join him!
[18:21] ---
    What the hell?! He sounds good!
[18:29] ---
    Soirée etiquette is to
    forget all the unpleasant things
[18:31] ---
    and dance the night away, right, my lady?
[18:38] ---
    Yes!
[19:20] ---
    I-I shall take responsibility for
    escorting Lady Elizabeth home!
[19:24] ---
    You gonna be all right?
[19:26] ---
    Yes. I'm a more deadly efficient
    butler than I look.☆
[19:29] ---
    That's right-- Sebastian,
[19:31] ---
    I've learned from you
    what it means to be a butler!
[19:35] ---
    They say that before a person dies,
    his life flashes before his eyes.
[19:39] ---
    I'm sure that if I die,
[19:41] ---
    the dreamland I saw tonight will
    flash before me over and over!
[19:48] ---
    You're saying that?
[19:49] ---
    I have the feeling a man like
    him will never die, yes!
[19:56] ---
    Good grief, what a rotten day.
[20:01] ---
    You seemed to be quite enjoying yourself.
[20:04] ---
    Don't be a fool.
[20:08] ---
    Which of us is the fool?
[20:13] ---
    This is important to you, isn't it?
[20:15] ---
    And yet you showed off for Lady Elizabeth...
[20:22] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who can't
    do this much isn't worth his salt.
[20:29] ---
    This ring exists to be on your finger.
[20:33] ---
    Please cherish it.
[20:36] ---
    True...
[20:38] ---
    This ring has witnessed
    the deaths of many masters.
[20:42] ---
    My grandfather, my father, and...
[20:45] ---
    I'm sure it will be present
    at my death as well.
[20:50] ---
    It's heard the dying screams of
    the family heads over and over.
[20:55] ---
    When I close my eyes, I can hear them...
    those wretched voices...
[21:00] ---
    I thought to myself, "If
    I throw away the ring,
[21:05] ---
    maybe I'll stop hearing them."
[21:09] ---
    Ridiculous, isn't it?
[21:15] ---
    Goodness, look how high the moon has risen.
[21:19] ---
    You'll make yourself sick this way.
    Please, get some rest.
[21:29] ---
    Sebastian.
[21:32] ---
    Stay by me until I fall asleep.
[21:35] ---
    Oh, my-- you would display
    weakness in front of me?
[21:41] ---
    It's just an order.
[21:49] ---
    I'll stay by you always, young master.
[21:54] ---
    Until the end...
[22:06] ---
    I'm still the head of the Phantomhives!
[22:10] ---
    Stay by me.
[22:24] ---
    Now... I must prepare for tomorrow.
[24:04] ---
    The prostitute serial murders
    are the talk of the country.

[24:07] ---
    In order to find the criminal, I must
    certainly have my master do this...

[24:12] ---
    Come, there's nothing to be afraid of.
[24:15] ---
    It only hurts for a moment.
[24:17] ---
    See, I've got it almost all the way.
[24:21] ---
    Just a little further... and
    it will fit like a glove.

[24:25] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Capricious."

[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Capricious"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
