[00:00] Sebastian
    Germany, my lord?
[00:03] Ciel
    Yes. Her Majesty has
    ordered me to investigate
[00:06] Ciel
    a series of suspicious deaths in Germany.
[00:10] Chlaus
    Whatever it was affected
    men and women of all ages,
[00:15] Chlaus
    but the victims did
    have one thing in common.
[00:17] Chlaus
    The "Werewolves' Forest."
[00:20] Sebastian
    The Werewolves' Forest?
[00:24] Chlaus
    Yes. They say everyone
    who sets foot in it is cursed.
[00:30] Hilde
    What are you doing here? How did you get in?
[00:31] Ciel
    Are there no men in this village?
[00:33] Ciel
    And the women's clothes
    are centuries out of date!
[00:36] Sullivan
    I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
    the ruler of this forest.
[00:41] Wolfram
    Where the hell're you from?
[00:44] Sebastian
    Please excuse me for a few minutes.
[00:46] Ciel
    What?! How do you expect me
    to interact with her by myself?
[00:49] Sign
    Hey, you.
[00:51] Sign
    ××× black hair ×× man ×× name?
[00:53] Ciel
    Um...
[00:55] Ciel
    Wait. I can actually make out
    the key words if I don't panic.
[00:59] Sign
    Where ××× ××× parents?
[01:02] Sign
    Parents... gone. Dead.
[01:07] Sign
    Hmm.
[01:08] Sebastian
    "Herr Werwolf." What does that term refer to?
[01:11] Sullivan
    Have you heard of witch hunts?
[01:13] Sullivan
    Witches were branded as heretics and oppressed
    by humans more and more as time went on.
[01:17] Sullivan
    Legend has it that to protect the others,
[01:21] Sullivan
    one witch made a pact with a werewolf,
    offering him her own legs.
[01:26] Sullivan
    That's why each successive ruler's feet
     are bound until she can't walk.
[01:30] Hilde
    A...
[01:31] Hilde
    A werewolf has appeared.
[01:38] Sullivan
    Where's your talisman?
[01:39] Crone
    It's Herr Werwolf's wrath!
[01:42] Crone
    Leave now, unless you want him
    to tear you limb from limb!
[01:48] Sebastian
    It's not becoming of a lady to eavesdrop
     outside a gentleman's room.
[01:52] Sebastian
    May I ask your business here?
[01:54] Sullivan
    I'd like you to tell me about
    the outside world that I don't know.
[01:59] Ciel
    All right, fine.
[02:03] Ciel
    Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
[02:08] Sullivan
    Oh, that reminds me. These are for you two.
[02:11] Sullivan
    Talismans to ward off werewolves.
[02:13] Sullivan
    Wear them on your way home.
[02:16] Sebastian
    Young master?!
[02:20] Ciel
    A-A werewolf?
[02:22] Sebastian
    I'll chase the werewolf myself.
[02:24] Sebastian
    You wait in your room, young master.
[02:29] Sebastian
    What?
[02:39] Sebastian
    Me, crying?
[02:42] Sebastian
    Demons aren't endowed with
    the emotions that lead one to cry.
[02:55] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Have you seen a cursed person?
[02:58] (Flashback) Coachman A
    'Course I 'as! Right terrible sight.
[03:04] (Flashback) Coachman A
    Faces swell'd up twice 'eir size
     an' skin all meltin'.
[03:10] (Flashback) Coachman A
    One o' 'em died right there an' th' one
    'oo lived went doolally from th' shock.
[03:19] Sebastian
    Don't tell me this is...
[03:24] Sebastian
    If it's true that those who see
    a werewolf are cursed...
[03:29] Sebastian
    Young master!
[03:49] Ciel
    Se-bas-tian...
[04:42] Sign
    Black Butler
[04:44] Sign
    Emerald Witch Arc
[06:00] Sebastian
    Young master!
[06:02] Ciel
    My body is on fire!
[06:06] Sebastian
    This is the curse?
[06:17] Sebastian
    Fräulein Sullivan!
[06:18] Sebastian
    Fräulein Sullivan, please help!
[06:22] Sebastian
    Fräulein Sullivan!
[06:24] Sebastian
    Please help, Fräulein Sullivan!
[06:25] Sullivan
    What is it? Here for a carnal visit?
[06:30] Sullivan
    Your faces!
[06:33] Sullivan
    You entered the forest, didn't you?
[06:35] Sebastian
    I apologise.
[06:37] Sebastian
    Later, I'll suffer whatever
    punishment you deem fit.
[06:40] Sebastian
    Just please save my young master.
[06:42] Wolfram
    Young mistress! What's the matter?!
[06:46] Wolfram
    You scoundrels...
[06:47] Sullivan
    Wolf, the purification ritual!
[06:50] Sullivan
    Prepare the cauldron room!
[06:57] Sullivan
    Hurry! We haven't got much time!
[06:59] Sullivan
    Undress him and put him in the cauldron!
[07:02] Sullivan
    Quickly! Into the cauldron! Both of you!
[07:06] Sullivan
    When did you enter the forest?
[07:08] Sebastian
    About 15 minutes ago.
[07:10] Sullivan
    Blast. That's really pushing it.
[07:12] Sullivan
    Wolf, boil some water!
    And bring me more herbs for the tonic!
[07:16] Wolfram
    Ja!
[07:19] Sullivan
    While I'm reciting the incantation,
    submerge your whole bodies in the water.
[07:22] Sullivan
    Don't come up until I tell you.
[07:24] Sebastian
    Understood.
[07:34] Sullivan
    O three goddesses of Fate,
[07:37] Sullivan
    transform this water into
    the blessed Wellspring of Urðr.
[07:59] Sullivan
    Done.
[08:02] Sebastian
    What next?
[08:03] Sullivan
    Internal purification.
[08:05] Sullivan
    Make him drink this tonic,
    then cough it back up.
[08:08] Sullivan
    Take this.
[08:08] Sebastian
    Thank you.
[08:11] Sebastian
    Pardon me, young master.
[08:16] Sullivan
    Make him expel it now.
[08:17] Sebastian
    Yes, Fräulein.
[08:21] Sullivan
    Do you feel any nausea?
[08:23] Sebastian
    Forget about me. Attend to my young master!
[08:26] Sullivan
    Then, do it again.
[08:29] Ciel
    Stop...
[08:32] Ciel
    What's happening?
[08:35] Ciel
    I can't breathe.
[08:37] Ciel
    It hurts.
[08:38] Ciel
    I'm cold.
[08:40] Ciel
    Please...
[08:43] Ciel
    Please stop.
[09:06] (Flashback) Human trafficker A
    All right, brats! Grub's up!
[09:12] (Flashback) Human trafficker A
    No plates for you lot. Open wide!
[09:22] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    Oi! Don't spill it!
[09:25] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    We especially can't let you lads die on us.
[09:29] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    So eat up.
[09:34] Ciel
    No.
[09:36] Ciel
    I can't breathe. I'm scared.
[09:42] Ciel
    Save me, Father... Mother...
[09:50] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    Next!
[09:52] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    Hmm?
[09:53] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    This urchin's dead.
[09:54] (Flashback) Human trafficker
    Damn. Those nobles play too rough with 'em!
[10:01] Ciel
    Will I end up like that, too?
[10:06] (Flashback) Mysterious Boy
    It's all right. I'll protect you.
[10:13] Ciel
    Oh, that's right. I have you.
[10:20] Ciel
    You're warm.
[10:26] (Flashback) Ciel
    No! Don't take him!
[10:40] Sebastian
    Young master!
[10:44] Sebastian
    You had me worried, my lord.
[10:47] Finnian
    I'm so glad you're all right, young master!
[10:52] Baldroy
    That took years off my life.
[10:55] Tanaka
    Mine as well.
[10:57] Mey-Rin
    How are you feeling, Master Ciel?
[11:01] Ciel
    Ciel?
[11:06] Sebastian
    Young master, what's the matter?
[11:14] Ciel
    N-No!
[11:16] Ciel
    Ciel... No more pain!
[11:20] Ciel
    It's dark. Where are we?
[11:23] Ciel
    I'm scared.
[11:25] Sebastian
    What do you mean? It isn't dark in here.
[11:33] Ciel
    Who's there? I can't see anything!
[11:39] Sebastian
    Does that mean...
[11:41] Tanaka
    I believe he has lost his sight.
[11:47] Ciel
    Someone bring a light.
[12:00] Mey-Rin
    My poor young master's eyes!
[12:04] Baldroy
    Enough. Stop cryin'. You'll jinx him.
[12:08] Baldroy
    It might just be temporary.
[12:11] Snake
    "We can't even look after him while
    he's in this state, though." ...says Keats.
[12:18] Baldroy
    Yeah. S'bad enough he rejected us,
     but rejectin' Sebastian?
[12:23] Baldroy
    What the hell happened to him?
[12:26] Baldroy
    And I don't get why Finny's
     the only one he's okay with.
[12:30] Tanaka
    What now, Sebastian?
[12:34] Sebastian
    He has ordered me not to touch him,
     so I mustn't touch him.
[12:41] Sebastian
    For now, let's wait until
    Fräulein Sullivan rises and seek her advice.
[12:47] Sebastian
    The rest of you try to get a little sleep.
[12:52] Mey-Rin
    What will you do?
[12:54] Sebastian
    I have some business to take care of.
[13:07] Sebastian
    That strange miasma is gone, but there's
    still no sign of any living creatures.
[13:19] Sebastian
    No evil entity's miasma
    should be able to affect me.
[13:23] Sebastian
    So what exactly was it?
    And who was that "werewolf"?
[13:35] Sebastian
    At any rate,
[13:37] Sebastian
    I'd better obtain permission to stay in
    Wolfsschlucht until the young master recovers.
[13:44] Sebastian
    Dear me.
[13:47] Sebastian
    This opponent may be a difficult one.
[13:57] Sebastian
    I apologise for causing you
    so much trouble last night.
[14:01] Sebastian
    As a token of my contrition,
[14:03] Sebastian
    I took the liberty of
    preparing mid-morning tea.
[14:07] Sebastian
    Bon appétit.
[14:11] Sullivan
    It's so good!
[14:13] Sebastian
    Try this too, Fräulein Sullivan.
[14:16] Sullivan
    What is this? It's delicious!
[14:18] Sebastian
    It's the finest...
[14:23] Sullivan
    I see.
[14:25] Sullivan
    So the miasma blinded him.
[14:28] Sebastian
    Will he regain his sight?
[14:31] Sullivan
    I'd have to examine him to say for certain,
[14:35] Sullivan
    but you say he isn't letting anyone close.
[14:37] Sebastian
    Actually, for some reason,
    he allows our gardener to touch him.
[14:43] Sullivan
    Hmm. So he prefers them somewhere
    between brawny and bouncy?
[14:48] Sullivan
    He really has rather particular tastes.
[14:50] Sebastian
    I beg your pardon?
[14:52] Sullivan
    Uh, never mind.
[14:57] Sullivan
    The forest's miasma weakens
    the human spirit and amplifies fear.
[15:03] Sullivan
    There may be a reason the gardener
    is allowed near him while others are not.
[15:07] Sebastian
    In that case, perhaps he is rejecting adults.
[15:13] Sullivan
    Why?
[15:14] Sebastian
    My young master has a past of his own.
[15:20] Sullivan
    I see.
[15:22] Sebastian
    Now, could you tell me
    what the forest's miasma is?
[15:26] Sullivan
    It's an evil magic exuded by werewolves.
[15:32] Sullivan
    Those exposed to it become cursed
    and deform into a beastlike appearance.
[15:39] Sullivan
    The only way to lift the curse
[15:41] Sullivan
    is by using a secret medicine
    prepared by yours truly, the Emerald Witch.
[15:46] Sebastian
    Ah.
[15:48] Wolfram
    That's why I told you not to go in there!
[15:51] Wolfram
    I told you so many times. Why did you go?!
[15:55] Wolfram
    It's not as though werewolves
    want to hurt every human they see!
[15:59] Wolfram
    Why don't you understand that?!
[16:00] Sullivan
    Stop that, Wolfram!
[16:11] Sebastian
    You wonder why we went there?
[16:14] Sebastian
    We've met more than our share
    of demons and grim reapers,
[16:18] Sebastian
    but we've never had the honour
    of meeting a werewolf before.
[16:22] Sebastian
    We were curious to find out
    what one would be like.
[16:27] Wolfram / Sullivan
    Pardon?
[16:29] Sebastian
    At any rate, you are the only one
     who can cure him, correct?
[16:35] Sullivan
    Indeed.
[16:38] Sebastian
    Fräulein Sullivan,
    please save my young master.
[16:43] Sebastian
    If you will do that,
    I will follow any order you give me.
[16:51] Sullivan
    Very well.
[16:53] Sullivan
    In that case, Sebastian,
    until I finish healing Ciel...
[16:58] Sullivan
    you will be my butler.
[17:09] Ciel
    Stop it! Don't touch me!
[17:12] Sebastian
    Young master, you'll hurt yourself
     if you don't calm down.
[17:17] Ciel
    Shut up! Go away!
[17:21] Sebastian
    Very good, my lord.
[17:31] Sebastian
    Still no good today.
[17:36] Sebastian
    I'm not quite sure how long
    it takes humans to recover, but...
[17:41] Sebastian
    Perhaps it's been long enough.
[17:44] Sebastian
    It wouldn't do to appear ugly
     while serving a lady.
[17:51] Sebastian
    That should do it.
[17:53] Sebastian
    Now, then...
[17:59] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Until I finish healing Ciel...
[18:02] (Flashback) Sullivan
    you will be my butler.
[18:05] (Flashback) Wolfram
    Don't do this, mistress!
[18:07] (Flashback) Wolfram
    We don't know the first thing about this man!
[18:10] (Flashback) Sullivan
    We never get visitors from the outside world.
[18:13] (Flashback) Sullivan
    There is much I want to ask.
[18:15] (Flashback) Sullivan
    I've made my decision.
[18:17] Wolfram
    Young mi—
[18:17] (Flashback) Sullivan
    He must hold me by the hand
    and teach me many things.
[18:22] (Flashback) Sullivan
    Hold me by the hand...
[18:26] (Flashback) Sullivan
    More importantly, Wolf,
    Sebastian is more skilled than you.
[18:31] (Flashback) Sullivan
    You should learn from him along with me.
[18:34] (Flashback) Wolfram
    Ja.
[18:39] Sebastian
    Oh dear. It's time to prepare
    the early-morning tea.
[18:48] Sebastian
    Good morning, everyone.
[18:50] Baldroy
    Mornin'.
[18:50] Most servants
    Good morning!
[18:50] Mey-Rin
    Good morning, yes!
[18:53] Sebastian
    Guests?
[18:54] Wolfram
    The women of the village bring us ingredients
     and help the young mistress dress.
[19:00] Sebastian
    Oh, I see.
[19:02] Sebastian
    Allow me to introduce myself.
[19:05] Sebastian
    My name is Sebastian, and I will temporarily
    be serving as Fräulein Sullivan's butler.
[19:14] Hilde
    I'm Hilde.
[19:17] Grete
    Grete.
[19:19] Anne
    I'm Anne.
[19:22] Sebastian
    We'll be staying here for a while.
[19:25] Sebastian
    If you have any tasks which require muscle,
    let us know how we can help.
[19:31] Sebastian
    Now, then. Time for today's staff meeting.
[19:35] Sebastian
    Baldo, you start getting breakfast ready.
[19:37] Baldroy
    On it.
[19:39] Sebastian
    Snake, you polish the silver.
[19:42] Snake
    "Understood." ...says Emily.
[19:46] Sebastian
    Mey-Rin, you change the linens.
[19:49] Mey-Rin
    Yes, yes!
[19:50] Sebastian
    Finny, you look after the young master.
[19:53] Finnian
    Right!
[19:55] Finnian
    Wait, what?!
[19:57] Finnian
    Me?!
[20:00] Sebastian
    Right now, you're the only one who can.
[20:05] Finnian
    Um, but, uh...
[20:06] Sebastian
    If he's able to eat,
    take him a light breakfast.
[20:09] Finnian
    But...
[20:10] Sebastian
    If he won't eat...
[20:14] Sebastian
    ...bring him some hot milk with honey.
[20:17] Finnian
    Milk?
[20:20] Sebastian
    When he was younger...
[20:44] Sebastian
    ...it was the most effective way to cajole him.
[20:48] Sebastian
    I will be looking after Fräulein Sullivan.
[20:52] Sebastian
    Tanaka, you carry on as usual.
[20:55] Sebastian
    To your tasks, everyone.
[21:11] Sebastian
    Good grief.
[21:13] Sebastian
    He seems ready to bite my head off.
[21:30] Sebastian
    Young mistress, it's time to wake up.
