[00:02] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Have you seen a cursed person?
[00:04] (Flashback) Coachman A
    'Course I 'as!
[00:06] (Flashback) Coachman A
    Faces swell'd up twice 'eir size
     an' skin all meltin'.
[00:11] Ciel
    Se-bas-tian...
[00:14] Sullivan
    Your faces! You entered the forest, didn't you?
[00:18] Sullivan
    Wolf, the purification ritual!
[00:19] Sullivan
    Prepare the cauldron room!
[00:31] Sebastian
    Young master!
[00:34] Ciel
    No!
[00:35] Ciel
    Ciel... No more pain!
[00:39] Ciel
    It's dark. Where are we?
[00:41] Sebastian
    Does that mean...
[00:42] Ciel
    I'm scared.
[00:43] Tanaka
    I believe he has lost his sight.
[00:46] Sebastian
    Fräulein Sullivan,
    please save my young master.
[00:50] Sebastian
    If you will do that,
    I will follow any order you give me.
[00:57] Sullivan
    Very well.
[00:58] Sullivan
    In that case, Sebastian,
    until I finish healing Ciel...
[01:03] Sullivan
    you will be my butler.
[01:07] Sebastian
    My name is Sebastian, and I will temporarily
    be serving as Fräulein Sullivan's butler.
[01:15] Hilde
    I'm Hilde.
[01:16] Grete
    Grete.
[01:17] Anne
    I'm Anne.
[01:19] Sebastian
    Finny, you look after the young master.
[01:23] Finnian
    Right!
[01:24] Finnian
    Wait, what?!
[01:25] Sebastian
    Right now, you're the only one who can.
[01:28] Finnian
    Um, but, uh...
[01:31] Sebastian
    Young mistress, it's time to wake up.
[01:43] Sebastian
    Good morning, my lady.
[01:53] Sebastian
    Today's tea is a Ceylon blend by Rommeveldt.
[01:58] Sullivan
    I've never heard of Ceylon tea before.
[02:01] Sebastian
    I hope it pleases you, my lady.
[02:08] Sullivan
    It's good!
[02:09] Sullivan
    And this is the first time
    I've ever had a cup of tea in bed.
[02:13] Sebastian
    It's a butler's job to make sure
    his master wakes up refreshed.
[02:20] Sullivan
    Take note, Wolf.
[02:24] Wolfram
    Ja.
[02:27] Sebastian
    All right, Fräulein Sullivan.
    It's time to dress.
[02:30] Sullivan
    I'd like to wear clothes
    from the outside world today.
[02:34] Hilde
    I beg your pardon, Fräulein Sullivan?
[02:37] Sebastian
    None of the clothing we have brought
    with us will be in my lady's size,
[02:43] Sebastian
    except for my young master's.
[02:44] Sullivan
    His will do nicely!
[02:47] Hilde
    No, Fräulein, you mustn't wear male clothing.
     And especially not someone else's garments.
[02:52] Sullivan
    I don't see why not.
[02:56] Sebastian
    Young mistress, may I have this bedcover?
[03:00] Sullivan
    That's fine. But why?
[03:06] Wolfram
    Wh-What are you going to do with that?
[03:11] Sebastian
    I'll be back shortly.
[03:19] Sullivan
    How wonderful, Sebastian!
[03:23] Sebastian
    I'm happy I was able to please you.
[03:26] Sullivan
    How did you make all this in so little time?
[03:31] Sebastian
    That's a butler trade secret, I'm afraid.
[03:35] Sebastian
    A skilled dressmaker could do better, though.
[03:38] Sullivan
    No, I like this. It's easy to move in.
[03:42] Sebastian
    Now, young mistress...
[03:46] Sebastian
    ...let's go to breakfast.
[04:40] Sign
    Black Butler
[04:42] Sign
    Emerald Witch Arc
[05:56] Sullivan
    I didn't think it would be ready so soon!
[05:59] Sullivan
    It's never like this with just Wolf.
[06:01] Sullivan
    Now, let's eat.
[06:02] Sebastian
    Wait, my lady.
[06:04] Sebastian
    One must use silverware in the right order.
[06:08] Sullivan
    O-Order?
[06:09] Sebastian
    Yes.
[06:11] Sebastian
    Silverware is arranged from
    outside to inside in order of usage.
[06:16] Sebastian
    When eating your salad,
    use the knife and fork on the outside.
[06:21] Sullivan
    I can eat with any of them,
    so it's all the same to me.
[06:24] Sebastian
    We shan't have that, young mistress.
[06:26] Sebastian
    It's important for a ruler to
    have the proper comportment.
[06:30] Sebastian
    Forgive my rudeness,
[06:33] Sebastian
    but your table manners
    aren't those of a refined lady.
[06:37] Wolfram
    You watch your tongue!
[06:40] Sebastian
    Doting on and spoiling a young master
     is not the butler's job.
[06:48] Sebastian
    I've hardened my heart so that
    I can say these things to Fräulein Sullivan
[06:53] Sebastian
    to prevent her from
    displaying ungraceful behaviour.
[06:56] Sebastian
    Not to mention...
[06:58] Sebastian
    It is always better to have more knowledge.
[07:03] Sullivan
    Knowledge?
[07:05] Sullivan
    That's a good point!
[07:08] Sullivan
    Teach me more things, Sebastian!
[07:12] Sebastian
    Very good, my lady.
[07:16] Sullivan
    So this one is the salad fork. What else?
[07:18] Sebastian
    Use this knife for butter.
[07:23] Sullivan
    That was great. I'm very satisfied.
[07:27] Sebastian
    Young mistress, if you're finished,
[07:31] Sebastian
    you signal this by lining up
    your silverware diagonally on the plate.
[07:34] Sullivan
    Interesting.
[07:38] Sullivan
    Like so?
[07:40] Sebastian
    Perfect, my lady.
[07:44] Sebastian
    What are your plans for the day?
[07:46] Sullivan
    I want to ask you more questions.
[07:49] Sebastian
    Very good, my lady.
[07:51] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[07:52] Sullivan
    I'll still do all my duties
     as the Emerald Witch.
[07:56] Wolfram
    Ja.
[08:06] Baldroy
    I don't like it.
[08:08] Mey-Rin
    Like what?
[08:10] Baldroy
    Sebastian! The bastard looks
    like he doesn't even care.
[08:14] Baldroy
    He oughta be at least a little worried.
[08:18] Snake
    "I agree. He's cold." ...says Wilde.
[08:23] Mey-Rin
    What's he supposed to do, yes?
[08:26] Tanaka
    I imagine Sebastian has his reasons.
[08:31] Snake
    "But shouldn't a butler worry about
    his master at times like these?" ...says Oscar.
[08:39] Tanaka
    Interesting question.
[08:41] Tanaka
    Clearly worrying about his master
    isn't a butler's only job.
[08:53] Tanaka
    A butler must arrange an immaculate
    welcome for his master's return.
[09:01] Sullivan
    First, teach me your country's language.
[09:04] Sebastian
    English?
[09:05] Sullivan
    It's best if I can chat with Ciel
     while treating him, right?
[09:09] Sebastian
    Ah, of course.
[09:11] Sebastian
    This is the only usable text we have here,
[09:15] Sebastian
    but it may be a bit much for a beginner.
[09:18] Sullivan
    What is it about?
[09:20] Sebastian
    It's a collection of English home remedies.
[09:24] Sullivan
    What?
[09:27] Sullivan
    Sebastian, what is this potion?
[09:30] Sebastian
    That's an opium tincture.
[09:33] Sullivan
    "Tink-ture"?
[09:36] Sullivan
    That word has an indecent ring to it.
     My heart's racing.
[09:39] Sebastian
    It's a medicine used mainly for its
    cough suppressant and analgesic effects.
[09:43] Sebastian
    It's compounded from poppy seeds.
[09:46] Sullivan
    Oh, I know of those!
[09:48] Sullivan
    What's this?
[09:49] Sebastian
    A remedy for sore throats that involves
    wrapping bacon around the neck.
[09:55] Sebastian
    According to the book,
    bacon has powerful healing properties.
[09:59] Sullivan
    Bacon? Really? I've never heard that!
[10:03] Sullivan
    Wolf, Wolf! Fetch some bacon! I want to try it!
[10:08] Wolfram
    J-Ja.
[10:12] Hilde
    Wolfram.
[10:15] Hilde
    I want a word.
[10:20] Hilde
    Why did you let those outsiders stay here?
[10:23] Hilde
    They're a bad influence on Fräulein Sullivan!
[10:26] Wolfram
    You know there's no stopping
    the young mistress when she gets like this.
[10:33] Hilde
    Don't say I didn't warn you.
[10:42] Finnian
    Young master, won't you eat just a little?
[10:48] Ciel
    No. I don't want to eat.
[10:51] Finnian
    Wh-What about some hot milk?
[10:58] Ciel
    Is there honey?
[11:00] Finnian
    Let's put lots in and make it really sweet!
[11:06] Finnian
    Let me blow on it to cool it down.
[11:11] Ciel
    That's hot!
[11:13] Finnian
    I'm so sorry! I'll wipe your face right away!
[11:17] Finnian
    I'll hurt the young master
    if I use my full strength.
[11:22] Finnian
    Gently does it. Gently does it.
[11:27] Finnian
    Does it hurt?
[11:28] Ciel
    No.
[11:33] Finnian
    Young master, let's go get
    some fresh air when you're done.
[11:40] Ciel
    No. I'm scared of the outside.
[11:45] Ciel
    I'm scared.
[11:47] Finnian
    Young master.
[11:49] Finnian
    It's all right! If any scary people come,
    I'll get rid of all of them for you!
[11:55] Finnian
    I'll protect you no matter what!
[12:01] Finnian
    I made up my mind on that
    the day you gave me my name.
[12:15] Ciel
    I'm not worth protecting.
[12:20] Ciel
    I'm the only one who...
[12:23] Ciel
    There are better people...
[12:30] Finnian
    Young master.
[12:39] (Flashback) Spectacled Researcher
    This laboratory is done for!
[12:43] (Flashback) Straight-Backed Hair
    Destroy all of the documents!
[12:46] (Flashback) Straight-Backed Hair
    And the test subjects, too! Hurry!
[13:09] (Flashback) Test Subject A
    What is it?
[13:10] (Flashback) Finnian
    Up there.
[13:14] (Flashback) Test Subject A
    Doctor?
[13:21] (Flashback) Spectacled Researcher
    These were the fruits of our research! Damn it!
[13:25] (Flashback) Finnian
    Doctor? Why?
[14:11] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Stand back, my lord.
[14:13] (Flashback) Ciel
    Wait.
[14:16] (Flashback) Ciel
    What's your name?
[14:22] Finnian
    At the time, I didn't know
    what the young master was saying.
[14:28] Finnian
    But now I know that
    those words changed my fate.
[14:37] Ciel
    I'm the only one...
[14:40] Ciel
    There are better people...
[14:46] Finnian
    Young master.
[14:48] Finnian
    Don't say that!
    I wouldn't be here without you!
[14:55] Finnian
    I only knew how to destroy things,
    but then you taught me to grow things.
[15:03] Finnian
    You turned me from the weapon named S-012
     into the gardener named Finnian!
[15:12] Finnian
    You're just injured and
    upset right now, that's all.
[15:15] Finnian
    Don't worry. I'm sure Sebastian
    will solve this somehow!
[15:21] Ciel
    Sebas-tian...
[15:26] Ciel
    No! No!
[15:28] Finnian
    Y-Young master?
[15:28] Ciel
    Not him! He's the one who...
[15:32] Ciel
    Who's that?!
[15:34] Finnian
    I'll go see.
[15:40] Finnian
    Seba—
[15:43] Finnian
    Fräulein Sullivan is here.
[15:47] Ciel
    Sullivan?
[15:49] Sullivan
    Yes. How do you feel?
[15:52] Finnian
    Fräulein Sullivan, you've
    learnt English! Amazing!
[15:57] Sullivan
    I am a witch, you know.
[15:59] Sullivan
    Though I've got a long way
    to go with the language.
[16:05] Sebastian
    Finny, would you please
    clear away the dishes?
[16:08] Finnian
    All right.
[16:15] Sullivan
    I came to change your bandages.
[16:19] Ciel
    Will it hurt?
[16:20] Sullivan
    It'll hurt more if I don't change them.
[16:29] Sullivan
    I'll touch you now.
[16:31] Ciel
    All right.
[16:43] Sullivan
    Good.
[16:44] Sullivan
    You're healing quickly. Young men's
     vital forces bounce back well, eh?
[16:57] Sebastian
    Thank you, Fräulein Sullivan.
[17:00] Sullivan
    Of course. But never mind that.
    I have a question for you.
[17:05] Sullivan
    I didn't say anything before
    because Wolf was with us, but...
[17:09] Sullivan
    You're...
[17:11] Sullivan
    devil worshipers, I take it?
[17:13] Sebastian
    What?
[17:15] Sullivan
    There's no need to hide it.
[17:17] Sullivan
    Unlike the Inquisitors, we witches
    don't condemn devil worshipers.
[17:22] Sullivan
    There are demonic signs
    on your hand and his eye.
[17:26] Sullivan
    Am I wrong?
[17:27] Sebastian
    Only a little, young mistress.
[17:30] Sullivan
    Meaning?
[17:31] Sebastian
    My young master was once kidnapped
    by a group of devil worshipers.
[17:36] Sebastian
    They wanted to sacrifice him.
[17:39] Sebastian
    He and I met in the middle of
    their demon summoning ritual.
[17:44] Sullivan
    Impossible! No set of amateurs
     could summon a demon!
[17:48] Sebastian
    It's not necessarily impossible.
[17:50] Sullivan
    Don't talk back to me, amateur.
[17:53] Sullivan
    Failure in a ritual like that
    leaves you cursed by the demon!
[17:57] Sebastian
    Indeed?
[17:58] Sullivan
    So those people forcibly branded
    the sign into Ciel's eye?
[18:05] Sullivan
    How cruel.
[18:07] Sullivan
    Were you a sacrifice, too?
[18:10] Sebastian
    No, I—
[18:11] Sullivan
    Wait, I take back that question.
[18:14] Sullivan
    It must be a painful memory.
    I don't want to force it out of you.
[18:20] Sullivan
    Do the others know of this?
[18:21] Sebastian
    No, the young master
    and I have kept it a secret.
[18:27] Sullivan
    I see. Then, I'll keep it under my hat, too.
[18:32] Sebastian
    I appreciate your thoughtfulness, my lady.
[18:39] Sullivan
    Ciel's wounds are healing very well.
[18:43] Sullivan
    He's deeply unstable emotionally,
    but I didn't detect any kind of memory disorder.
[18:48] Mey-Rin
    And his eyes? Will his sight come back, yes?
[18:51] Sullivan
    His eyes are physically normal.
[18:54] Sullivan
    I believe his blindness is temporary,
    triggered by psychological shock.
[18:58] Sullivan
    If his mind and body heal,
    his sight should eventually come back.
[19:02] Finnian
    Thank goodness.
[19:02] Mey-Rin
    Thank goodness, yes!
[19:04] Sullivan
    The most important thing right now
    is for him to get his nutrition and rest.
[19:07] Sullivan
    If he does that, he should
    be up and about before long.
[19:11] Baldroy
    Really, ma'am?
[19:13] Baldroy
    Then, let's scram back to the manor
    as soon as he can get out of bed.
[19:16] Baldroy
    He'll feel safer back there than here.
[19:19] Sullivan
    Y-Yes, that's probably for the best.
[19:24] Baldroy
    That settles it! Gotta feed him
    Chef's special full-stamina dinner!
[19:30] Mey-Rin
    Meat, yes?
[19:31] Finnian
    I'll make treats!
[19:32] Snake
    "Let's bake scones." ...says Emily.
[19:37] Tanaka
    A sumptuous feast.
[19:39] Wolfram
    Meat dishes take time to prepare.
     You should help.
[19:43] Sebastian
    But...
[19:45] Sullivan
    Don't worry about me. I'll be reading.
[19:48] Sullivan
    I look forward to dinner.
[19:50] Sebastian
    Very good, my lady.
[20:04] Sebastian
    Excuse me, but we're out of white cooking wine.
[20:08] Wolfram
    The wine cellar is down the stairs,
    to the right, and all the way back.
[20:13] Sebastian
    Understood.
[20:18] Sebastian
    Snake, may I have a moment?
[20:32] Snake
    "He said the wine cellar was to the right.
     You're going left." ...says Oscar.
[20:39] Sebastian
    I said we were out of wine,
    but I never said I would go get more.
[20:54] Snake
    "It's a dead end." ...says Oscar.
[20:59] Sebastian
    I hear an echo. That means
    there's a large space behind this wall.
[21:08] Snake
    "What are you doing?" ...says Oscar.
[21:20] Snake
    What is this?
