[00:29] ---
Ugh, there are too many people in London!
[00:33] ---
From the country manor house
to the London townhouse...
[00:36] ---
It's traditional for the nobility
to move en masse for the Season.
[00:40] ---
The Season, eh?
[00:41] ---
Honestly, these cretins
have too much free time.
[00:44] ---
Getting away from the estate occasionally
[00:46] ---
might provide a nice change of pace.
[00:49] ---
For one thing, those four aren't here...
[00:51] ---
We should be able to spend
some quiet time, my lord.
[00:54] ---
Quiet time, hmm?
[01:00] ---
For goodness's sake!
Wherever do they keep the tea in this place?
[01:03] ---
I can't find it either...
[01:05] ---
Oh, silly! Of course it's not over there.
[01:05] ---
"Should be able to spend some quiet time..."
[01:09] ---
Madam Red?! Lau?! What are you doing here?!
[01:12] ---
Goodness, you're early.
[01:15] ---
You coming here can mean only one thing.
[01:18] ---
The Queen's guard dog is making a move.
[01:31] ---
"Black Butler"

"His Butler, Capricious"
[03:01] ---
Another prostitute was
murdered in Whitechapel yesterday.
[03:05] ---
These aren't ordinary murders.
[03:07] ---
They're bizarre...
No, you could fairly call them aberrant.
[03:11] ---
A special blade was used on the most
recent victim, Mary Ann Nichols,
SIGN "Pear & Blackberry Cornmeal Cake"
[03:16] ---
and she was torn apart
beyond all recognition.
[03:20] ---
Here's what Scotland Yard and
the press are calling the criminal:
[03:25] ---
"Jack the Ripper."
[03:29] ---
Jack the Ripper, eh?
[03:31] ---
So I hurried to London to
ascertain the situation.
[03:39] ---
Do you have the guts to
see the scene of that crime?
[03:42] ---
What do you mean?
[03:44] ---
The darkness and bestial
stench that pervade the scene
[03:47] ---
eat away at those who share the same destiny.
[03:50] ---
If you set foot upon it,
you may be consumed by madness.
[03:55] ---
Are you prepared for that, Lord Phantomhive?
[04:00] ---
I came here to dispel her worries.
[04:04] ---
Don't ask foolish questions.
[04:07] ---
Very nice, I like the look in your eye.
[04:21] ---
What brings you here?
[04:23] ---
This is no place for a child. Go on home.
[04:27] ---
Where is the victim's corpse?
[04:29] ---
Corpse?! What are you saying?!
[04:31] ---
Abberline!
[04:33] ---
What are you doing here, Lord Phantomhive?
[04:37] ---
You know him?
[04:38] ---
I came to clean up after the
slow-moving hounds working this case,
[04:42] ---
Sir Arthur Randall.
[04:47] ---
It looks as if you haven't got many clues.
[04:50] ---
We of Scotland Yard will solve this case.
[04:54] ---
We don't need your interference.
[04:56] ---
Excellent. Let's go, Sebastian.
[04:59] ---
Yes, my lord.
[05:04] ---
What will you do?
[05:07] ---
The best thing would
probably be to visit him.
[05:10] ---
My lord! You don't mean...
[05:12] ---
Indeed I do.
[05:16] ---
So... where are we?
[05:18] ---
You just spoke as if you
knew all about it, didn't you?!
[05:21] ---
It's a funeral parlor run by an
acquaintance of the young master's.
[05:25] ---
"The Undertaker"?
[05:28] ---
Are you here, Undertaker?
[05:34] ---
I thought you'd drop by before long.
[05:40] ---
Welcome, my lord.
[05:44] ---
Is today the day you'll condescend
to enter one of my special coffins?
[05:49] ---
Certainly not. Today I--
[05:52] ---
You don't have to tell me. I know.
[05:57] ---
That wasn't the type of
customer fit for respectable people.
[06:01] ---
I'll have you know, I made her beautiful.
[06:05] ---
I want to hear about it.
[06:07] ---
Ah, I see, so the funeral
parlor is your cover business.
[06:11] ---
How much is the info?
[06:14] ---
I have no desire for any
of the Queen's coins!
[06:21] ---
Come on, my lord, give it to me!
[06:27] ---
Give me prime laughter!
[06:31] ---
Do that, and I'll tell you anything.
[06:35] ---
Freak.
[06:38] ---
Leave it to me.
[06:40] ---
Behold the genius of the
man that Shanghai called
[06:43] ---
the Sleeping Tiger of New Year's Parties!
[06:48] ---
"Every calendar's days are numbered!"
[06:52] ---
Huh?
[06:53] ---
If I must...
[06:56] ---
Madam Red, the belle of fashionable society,
[06:59] ---
will tell you her special story!
[07:02] ---
So, his [CENSORED] was
completely flaccid and [CENSORED],
[07:06] ---
but when I [CENSORED], the [CENSORED]
tip started bobbing like [CENSORED]--
[07:11] ---
Now, my lord, you're the only one left.
[07:14] ---
I gave you a special discount
last time, but I won't do it again.
[07:19] ---
Bloody hell...
[07:20] ---
I see there's no help for it.
[07:23] ---
Sebastian?
[07:26] ---
Everyone please wait outside.
[07:29] ---
You must not peek inside on any account.
[07:34] ---
"Silence"
[07:45] ---
Please come in. It appears
he will tell us everything.
[07:51] ---
Ahaha... I've seen my Utopia...
[07:55] ---
These days I often get
customers
[07:59] ---
who are incomplete.
[08:03] ---
Incomplete?
[08:04] ---
Yes, incomplete... the wombs are missing.
[08:10] ---
Though the killer makes
quite violent splatter,
[08:13] ---
the wombs themselves are neatly cut out.
[08:16] ---
It was done on a public road,
even if it was not a high-traffic one...
[08:19] ---
Wouldn't such an excision have
been difficult for an amateur,
[08:22] ---
particularly in the middle of the night?
[08:25] ---
You're a sharp one, butler.
That's my opinion as well.
[08:33] ---
First the Ripper slashes their
throats with a sharp hand weapon,
[08:36] ---
then cuts this part open...
[08:39] ---
and takes what's precious to them.
[08:43] ---
I'm sure there will be others killed.
[08:45] ---
People like that don't stop
until someone stops them.
[08:53] ---
Can you do it, o villainous
noble Lord Phantomhive?
[08:58] ---
On the honor of my family crest,
[09:01] ---
I eliminate anyone who defiles the
Queen's garden, without exception...
[09:04] ---
...and by any means necessary.
[09:09] ---
What he said narrows down
the field of suspects considerably.
[09:12] ---
First, those well versed
in medicine or dissection.
[09:15] ---
From among them,
[09:16] ---
those who have no alibis for the nights
before the murders' discoveries.
[09:19] ---
And given the removal of
internal organs, it seems ritualistic...
[09:23] ---
So we should also consider
[09:24] ---
those involved with secret
societies and black magic.
[09:26] ---
That doesn't "narrow the field" at all!
[09:28] ---
I'm a doctor; I could
have done the dissection!
[09:30] ---
And summer is ending. Before another
week passes the Season will be over,
[09:35] ---
and any doctors the noblemen brought
in from the country will go back ho--
[09:37] ---
Then we'll simply conclude
our investigation before then.
[09:41] ---
What?
[09:42] ---
A Phantomhive butler who can't
do that much isn't worth his salt.
[09:48] ---
I'll make a list of suspects
now and question all of them.
[09:56] ---
Now, if you'll excuse me...
[09:59] ---
This carriage is moving!
[10:04] ---
Sebastian said he'd do it.
We can just sip some tea and wait.
[10:17] ---
Welcome back. I've been
awaiting your arrival.
[10:20] ---
Your afternoon tea is ready.
[10:24] ---
How did you get here?!
[10:26] ---
I finished my errands, so
I came home ahead of you.
[10:30] ---
You already finished your suspect list?
[10:32] ---
No...
[10:34] ---
I merely created a list of names
based on the criteria we discussed,
[10:36] ---
contacted them all, and directly
collected their statements.
[10:40] ---
Come now, Sebastian, even for
you that would be impossible...
[10:45] ---
Richard Oswald, family
doctor of the Duke of Bailey.
[10:47] ---
Has an alibi: he spent the night
with his friends at the White Horse pub.
[10:50] ---
No connection to secret societies.
[10:52] ---
Madam Heavitt, surgeon at the
Royal London Central Hospital.
[10:54] ---
Has an alibi: she was
with a boy at the Stipple Inn.
[10:55] ---
No connection to secret societies.
[10:56] ---
William Somerset,
family doctor of the Earl Chambers.
[10:57] ---
Has an alibi: he was at a party
hosted by the Earl Harwood.
[10:59] ---
No connection to secret societies.
[11:01] ---
Through this investigation, I've
narrowed it down to one person
[11:05] ---
who meets the criteria.
[11:07] ---
Are you really just a butler?
[11:10] ---
Are you sure you're not a
military intelligence officer?
[11:12] ---
No, I am merely one hell of a butler.
[11:23] ---
Aleister Chambers, the Viscount Druitt...
[11:27] ---
He graduated from medical school,
but has not gone into practice.
[11:31] ---
He's thrown several parties at his home.
[11:34] ---
However, people say he
simultaneously holds secret parties
[11:38] ---
that only his intimates may attend.
[11:40] ---
I've heard rumors that he's into
black magic and that sort of thing.
[11:45] ---
So you suspect that at
these underground parties,
[11:48] ---
they perform ceremonies
and sacrifice the prostitutes?
[11:53] ---
Tonight is the last party of the Season.
[12:02] ---
We only have one chance.
[12:17] ---
Ciel will play my niece
visiting from the country,
[12:21] ---
and Sebastian will play Ciel's tutor.
[12:24] ---
Why do I have to play your niece?!
[12:26] ---
I always wanted a girl.
[12:29] ---
That's your reason?
[12:31] ---
You can't let them find out
you're a Phantomhive, can you?
[12:33] ---
What's more, I'm told Lord Druitt
is a ladies' man of catholic tastes,
[12:38] ---
so this is to your advantage!
[12:40] ---
Didn't you say you'd use any means necessary?
[12:47] ---
First we must find the viscount.
[12:49] ---
I never want Elizabeth to
see me in an outfit like this...
[12:53] ---
Oh, that dress is so cute!
[12:58] ---
There are so many lovely
dresses here! How cute!
[13:01] ---
S-S-Sebas...
[13:04] ---
Young mas-- er, mistress, please calm down.
[13:07] ---
We'll take this opportunity to...
[13:08] ---
--Oh, my!
[13:08] ---
--Gulp!
[13:09] ---
That girl's dress is absolutely adorable!
[13:12] ---
Let's go over there.
[13:16] ---
Hmm?
[13:21] ---
This is no good. I had no idea
Lady Elizabeth would be here...
[13:25] ---
If people found out the family
head was dressed like this...
[13:28] ---
The shame would stain the
Phantomhives for generations.
[13:32] ---
Let's just join Madam Red and the others.
[13:36] ---
No need to stand on ceremony with me.
[13:38] ---
She's having a grand old time...
[13:42] ---
There she is!
[13:45] ---
This way, Miss.
[13:49] ---
You there. Serve that lady some lemonade.
[13:52] ---
Very good, Sir.
[13:54] ---
Would you like some lemonade?
[13:59] ---
Why do these things
always happen to me?
[14:02] ---
Lord Druitt is as gorgeous as ever tonight.
[14:05] ---
His hair is like spun gold!
[14:10] ---
That's the Viscount Druitt?
[14:13] ---
Let's go.
[14:14] ---
All right.
[14:21] ---
Oh, hell... I can't get near him like this.
[14:24] ---
We have no choice but to use
the dance to get close to him.
[14:30] ---
You're telling me to dance in public?!
[14:32] ---
With you?!
[14:35] ---
Right now I'm merely one hell of a tutor.
[14:38] ---
Tonight, I may publicly dance
with you in all propriety, Miss.
[14:43] ---
Y-You're right...
[14:46] ---
Let's go, Miss.
[14:57] ---
We'll cut through the crowd just like this.
[15:06] ---
I'm ashamed of you, becoming
exhausted so easily.
[15:12] ---
You danced like a lovely little robin, Miss.
[15:18] ---
Miss, I'll go get you something to drink.
[15:23] ---
G-Good evening, Lord Druitt.
[15:26] ---
Are you having fun...
[15:29] ---
...my dear little robin?
[15:31] ---
It's a wonderful party.
I'm so very impressed.
[15:35] ---
But I've been wanting
to talk to you, my lord.
[15:40] ---
Oh?
[15:41] ---
I'm sick to death of dancing and eating.
[15:45] ---
What a pampered princess
you are, little robin.
[15:48] ---
So you want something more amusing to do?
[15:51] ---
"Shudder"
[15:53] ---
Endure it... Endure it, Ciel...
[15:56] ---
This is the whole reason
[15:58] ---
"Fitting"
[15:58] ---
that you let them do all
those terrible things to you!
[15:59] ---
"Walking"
[16:00] ---
"Lessons in Manners"
[16:03] ---
Do you know of something
more amusing, my lord?
[16:06] ---
But of course. And I'm willing
to tell you, my darling little robin.
[16:12] ---
The moment this is all over,
I'm going to kill this guy!
[16:17] ---
What is it?
[16:18] ---
I have to draw him out
somehow before the dance is over.
[16:23] ---
What? She's looking this way!
[16:26] ---
Do you want to know?
[16:27] ---
I'm very interested.
[16:29] ---
If Elizabeth comes this way,
everything goes down the drain.
[16:31] ---
You might be a bit young for it.
[16:34] ---
Hurry...
[16:35] ---
I'm a lady, not a child.
[16:38] ---
Hurry!
[16:42] ---
The dance is over!
[16:45] ---
She's coming!
[16:47] ---
What has you so distracted?
[16:50] ---
E-Er...
[16:52] ---
My life is over!
[17:03] ---
Ladies and gentlemen, I will
now perform a magic show for you.
[17:10] ---
Could I ask for your cooperation, Sir?
[17:12] ---
Me? Of course.
[17:15] ---
I don't recall ordering any parlor tricks...
[17:18] ---
Now's my chance!
[17:19] ---
I'm sick of parlor tricks,
too, my lord. Pretty please?
[17:24] ---
Ugh, gag me!
[17:26] ---
All right, my little robin.
[17:31] ---
Come in here.
[17:38] ---
After I go inside this chest,
you bind it tightly with chains.
[17:43] ---
Then, run it through with the sword.
[17:49] ---
I shall come out of it perfectly unharmed.
[17:51] ---
There are no tricks or gimmicks to it.
[17:53] ---
Feast your eyes on this wondrous magic.
[18:00] ---
All right, don't mind if I do.
[18:18] ---
Amazing! It's a miracle!
[18:20] ---
Bravo!
[18:21] ---
That was amazing, Sebastian!
[18:23] ---
Indeed! I was rather
afraid I might have killed you.
[18:27] ---
Yes, it did hurt a bit.
[18:29] ---
I didn't expect you to go right for my head.
[18:32] ---
Anyone else would have been dead.
[18:34] ---
So, what was the trick to it?
[18:36] ---
You stabbed him that many
times without knowing?!
[18:41] ---
I told you: there were no tricks or gimmicks.
[18:47] ---
We're going to a very
nice place-- quite amusing.
[18:54] ---
What is this sickly sweet smell?
[18:59] ---
Bloody hell...
[19:06] ---
Yes, it's a very nice place, little robin.
[19:18] ---
S-Sebastian!
[19:20] ---
Please endure a little longer.
You'll quickly get used to it.
[19:28] ---
I told you, I'm gonna leak!
[19:30] ---
No corset has ever made a
woman's internal organs leak out.
[19:36] ---
A dream?
[19:38] ---
And now, what you've all been
waiting for: tonight's crown jewel.
[19:47] ---
You may enjoy her as a
decoration, or make a pet of her.
[19:49] ---
I imagine she'd even make an
attractive part of a ceremony.
[19:53] ---
Or if you want to sell her parts
individually, that's up to you.
[19:56] ---
Her eyes bear the contrasting
colors of a deep forest
[19:59] ---
and the sea reflecting a beautiful sky.
[20:01] ---
A black market auction?
[20:03] ---
I shall show you now.
[20:05] ---
So he sold the organs of
the prostitutes he killed here?
[20:11] ---
We'll start from a thousand guineas.
[20:13] ---
2000!
[20:14] ---
3000!
[20:15] ---
3500!
[20:17] ---
5000!
[20:18] ---
Here I am, Sebastian.
[20:24] ---
What's that?!
[20:34] ---
Good grief.
[20:36] ---
You're truly good for nothing
but getting yourself captured.
[20:40] ---
As long as I have the contract,
[20:42] ---
you'll follow me anywhere,
with or without my summons.
[20:46] ---
A "contract" is a mark demons
place on their prey to keep track of it.
[20:51] ---
The more noticeable a place you
put it in, the more executable it is.
[20:56] ---
In exchange...
[20:59] ---
...the prey can never escape the demon.
[21:05] ---
Yes, I shall accompany you
anywhere, right up until the end.
[21:10] ---
I shall never leave your side,
even if I should perish.
[21:16] ---
I shall go with you even
to the far reaches of Hell.
[21:19] ---
I do not lie...
[21:22] ---
...unlike humans.
[21:25] ---
Good.
[21:27] ---
Never lie to me, whatever
anyone else may do. Never.
[21:30] ---
Yes, my lord.
[21:34] ---
This solves the Jack the Ripper case.
[21:39] ---
It was unexpectedly easy...
[21:44] ---
I imagine Scotland Yard
will be here before long.
[21:47] ---
We shouldn't stay here.
[21:51] ---
Well, shall we go?
[22:07] ---
I thought I saw someone just now...
[22:11] ---
Maybe it was my imagination?
[22:17] ---
"Jack the Ripper Strikes Again"?
[22:20] ---
So that means the viscount wasn't our man?
[24:04] ---
At last, we've almost reached
checkmate in the serial prostitute murders.
[24:09] ---
Who is Jack the Ripper,
and what is Jack's goal?
[24:14] ---
I imagine it'll be a rather bitter turn
of events for my naïve young master.
[24:19] ---
When we've tidied everything up,
I'll make him some sweet hot milk.
[24:25] ---
Next time on Black Butler:
"His Butler, Chance Encounter."
[24:26] ---
"Next Time" "His Butler, Chance Encounter"
[24:29] ---
You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
