[00:19] ---
    Goodbye, young master.
    I hope you have a nice trip, yes!
[00:22] ---
    Right.
[00:23] ---
    See that you behave
    yourselves while we're away.
[00:26] ---
    Oh, a train trip sounds marvelous!
    I want to try it sometime!
[00:30] ---
    Brilliant!
[00:31] ---
    Finny! Quit running about like that!
[00:40] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[00:42] ---
    Are you all right, yes?!
[00:44] ---
    Don't touch that!
[00:46] ---
    That's a valuable scholarly resource!
[00:48] ---
    Do you have any idea
    how much it's worth?!
[00:55] ---
    A mummy, eh?
[00:57] ---
    I believe there's been somewhat
    of an Egyptian antiquities boom
[00:59] ---
    amongst the moneyed classes recently.
[01:02] ---
    A mummy would be a
    valuable collector's item.
[01:05] ---
    "Collector's item"?!
[01:09] ---
    Forgive us, O Lord.
[01:14] ---
    Pack it up this instant!
[01:15] ---
    Yes, Sir!
[01:17] ---
    And be gentle about it.
[01:24] ---
    I pray no calamity shall befall you.

[03:13] ---
    Would you like your tea, young master?
[03:17] ---
    I find the aroma of Williamson
    & Magor's summer Darjeeling
[03:20] ---
    perfectly suited to the sight of
    greenery through a train window.
[03:26] ---
    Young master, we're meant
    to seem as if we're on holiday.
[03:30] ---
    The criminal will spot us like this.
[03:32] ---
    Please try to look a bit pleasanter.
[03:34] ---
    I know, I know.
[03:36] ---
    Are you really that preoccupied
    with the Trancys, my lord?
[03:40] ---
    No.
[03:42] ---
    I am curious, of course,
    but for the moment that's all.
[03:46] ---
    Right now the Queen's orders take priority.
[03:54] ---
    That's Lord Ackroyd, then?
[03:56] ---
    And the boy kidnapped was his only son.
[03:59] ---
    Yes.
[04:00] ---
    If the police find out, the
    hostage will be killed.
[04:04] ---
    He was instructed to bring
    the ransom aboard this train.
[04:08] ---
    And the ransom is 5,000 pounds...
[04:11] ---
    I take it that's the price
    humans set for their own souls.
[04:17] ---
    The kidnapper must be
    somewhere on this train.
[04:20] ---
    We'll find him, capture him,
    and safely rescue the hostage.
[04:24] ---
    That's the only way to
    dispel Her Majesty's distress.
[04:27] ---
    Very good.
[04:29] ---
    "Terrorist Butler"
[04:41] ---
    It's the find of the century!
[04:43] ---
    Because what yours truly discovered
[04:46] ---
    was the pharaoh Smenkhkare,
    hidden in the Valley of the Kings!
[04:50] ---
    It's so crass to brag about robbing a grave.
[04:54] ---
    I met him once during his lifetime.
[04:57] ---
    He was an affable man of great virtue.
[05:02] ---
    Still... Even taking the
    desiccation into account,
[05:05] ---
    his face really seems quite different.
[05:07] ---
    Then he's a fake?
[05:09] ---
    Do you mean that
    archaeologist is the kidnapper?
[05:11] ---
    I couldn't say, my lord.
[05:15] ---
    The train that left
    St. Pancras station at exactly 9:00
[05:18] ---
    will cross the Cambridge-bound
    route at Bedford at 10:18!
[05:23] ---
    This is thrilling! This is not to be missed!
[05:27] ---
    We'll pull in to Derby Station at 1:05...
[05:30] ---
    Oh, we'll definitely have a time lag!
[05:32] ---
    Considering the weather, the
    porters will have a hard time of it!
[05:34] ---
    It'll be about seven minutes, I'd wager!
[05:35] ---
    Is he reading the timetables?
[05:37] ---
    Yes, he seems to have a
    bizarre obsession with railways.
[05:45] ---
    What do you think you're
    doing, you damned brat?!
[05:51] ---
    I see you're from Japan.
[05:53] ---
    The scrollwork on that
    furoshiki wrapping cloth is lovely.
[05:56] ---
    Don't touch it! This is a
    precious family heirloom!
[06:01] ---
    What's inside? Is he hiding something?
[06:04] ---
    I'm sorry, my boy. He's just so stubborn.
[06:08] ---
    Here, a token of our apologies.
[06:11] ---
    No thank you, Ma'am.
[06:14] ---
    Oh, I see.
[06:16] ---
    Well, then, would anyone else like one?
[06:18] ---
    I have plenty.
[06:20] ---
    There are some with *bonito
    *flakes and some with pickled plums!
[06:22] ---
    Here, please take one.
[06:24] ---
    None of your bloody Oriental food.
[06:26] ---
    Everyone says cholera is rampant in Asia!
[06:30] ---
    Shoo, shoo!
[06:31] ---
    That's an outrageous falsehood!
[06:34] ---
    Stop that.
[06:36] ---
    Don't you think it's rude
    for you to take that attitude
[06:39] ---
    with travelers who
    have come all this way?
[06:42] ---
    --Sod off!
[06:42] ---
    --As the Holy Book tells us,
    those who travel will be blessed.
[06:43] ---
    --Eyes front!
[06:45] ---
    --And the 14:45 train isn't to
    be dismissed lightly, either!
[06:48] ---
    --I'm sure it's God's will
    that brought us together here.
[06:52] ---
    A tattoo on a priest?
[06:54] ---
    My, my.
[06:57] ---
    Everyone please calm down!
[07:01] ---
    Cool down and sit down!
[07:05] ---
    I can understand your unease!
[07:08] ---
    Yes, we're transporting
    an assassin on this train.
[07:13] ---
    However! He is being
    kept under strict armed guard,
[07:17] ---
    unable to move a muscle!
[07:19] ---
    There's no need to wor--
[07:22] ---
    Run!
[07:31] ---
    I recognize him.
[07:34] ---
    Oh! Why, you're the Phantomhive--
[07:39] ---
    Eel pie and mash really
    brings back memories!
[07:42] ---
    Traditional English food,
    just like Mum used to make!
[07:50] ---
    I say, that was quite a
    fuss back there, wasn't it?
[07:53] ---
    And whose fault is that?
[07:56] ---
    At any rate, Sir Arthur will call
    you on the carpet for dining with me.
[08:02] ---
    Pish posh. I've wanted to
    get better acquainted with you.
[08:07] ---
    You see, my twin brother
    talked so much about you.
[08:11] ---
    Brother?
[08:13] ---
    There's another one
    of these stuffy men?
[08:18] ---
    Yes. I wish he could have tasted this...
[08:24] ---
    It doesn't look like he
    knows about the kidnapping.

[08:42] ---
    What is it?
[08:43] ---
    Nothing. Shall we go, young master?
[08:55] ---
    No, Ciel! If you don't take a rest
    after meals, you'll ruin your stomach!
[09:06] ---
    "Leave the suitcase
    with the ransom money
[09:08] ---
    in the very last lounge car."
[09:11] ---
    I must say, there are quite a few
    suspicious characters on this train.
[09:16] ---
    Yes...
[09:17] ---
    A priest with a tattoo,
    a sham archaeologist,
[09:21] ---
    a surly Japanese, a man
    in a frenzy over timetables...
[09:26] ---
    They're all too blatantly suspicious.
[09:29] ---
    And if there's an assassin onboard as well...
[09:33] ---
    Excuse me.
[09:42] ---
    You're that porter from the station.
[09:44] ---
    What are you doing on this
    train dressed like a traveler?
[09:48] ---
    Damn!
[09:49] ---
    He's the kidnapper!
[09:59] ---
    Damn it, I can't get the bloody thing to...
[10:05] ---
    Stop!
[10:13] ---
    Don't let him get away, Sebastian!
[10:15] ---
    Very good.
[10:22] ---
    Now hand that over.
[10:26] ---
    If you don't make it quick,
    the boy's life is over.
[10:31] ---
    I'm more concerned
    about your life, frankly.
[10:36] ---
    Who are you?!
[10:38] ---
    Where is your young hostage?
[10:41] ---
    Onboard that train.
[10:43] ---
    But you can't save
    him now. What a shame!
[10:47] ---
    By which you mean...?
[10:49] ---
    I rigged a bomb to explode
    as soon as the train stops.
[10:56] ---
    I thought I'd put on a
    nice big fireworks display
[10:59] ---
    after I got the ransom money!
[11:08] ---
    We have ten minutes
    before the next stop.
[11:13] ---
    Serves you right!
[11:17] ---
    There's not much time.
[11:44] ---
    A car's been decoupled?
[11:45] ---
    What's going on here?!
[11:58] ---
    Ciel! What do you mean,
    you're going to the goods wagon?!
[12:01] ---
    We can leave the kidnapper to Sebastian.
[12:05] ---
    What's left is the child.
[12:07] ---
    The criminal must have
    disguised himself as a porter

[12:09] ---
    to hide the hostage in someone's luggage.
[12:12] ---
    And...
[12:13] ---
    The only piece of luggage
    big enough to hide a child
[12:17] ---
    is that mummy's coffin!
[12:19] ---
    What?!
[12:25] ---
    What happened?
[12:26] ---
    M-My stomach... My stomach hurts!
[12:31] ---
    This isn't right... I know
    I rested enough after I ate!
[12:38] ---
    You don't suppose it's cholera, do you?!
[12:40] ---
    Get out of here!
[12:41] ---
    Stay away!
[12:43] ---
    How dare you bastards
    treat my wife that way?!
[12:45] ---
    Did you eat one of those rice balls?
[12:49] ---
    It was delicious.
[12:59] ---
    This is it?
[13:07] ---
    H-Help me...
[13:09] ---
    Just hang on!
[14:01] ---
    Pardon me.
[14:03] ---
    There is a bomb on this train
    set to go off when we stop.
[14:07] ---
    Do not brake under any circumstances.
[14:09] ---
    W-Wait!
[14:14] ---
    Aren't you Ciel's butler?
[14:17] ---
    Ow...
[14:19] ---
    Where is my young master?
[14:20] ---
    He went to the goods
    wagon to save the child...
[14:24] ---
    I-I have an announcement to make!
    The points have just been changed,
[14:28] ---
    and we're now bound
    for a different destination!
[14:31] ---
    We'll be passing over a
    railway bridge no longer in use.
[14:35] ---
    It won't be able to bear
    the weight of this train,
[14:37] ---
    and therefore our final stop...
[14:40] ---
    ...will most likely be Heaven!
[14:45] ---
    Then we'd best stop this thing fast.
[14:48] ---
    Y-You're...
[14:52] ---
    A hostage again, young master?
[14:56] ---
    I do believe you enjoy being captured.
[14:59] ---
    What are you on about?
[15:01] ---
    So it was you...
[15:04] ---
    Bloodbath Johnny.
[15:09] ---
    Well, if it isn't Jackknife Heyward!
[15:14] ---
    You ought to know what'll happen
    to the kid if you don't stop the train.
[15:19] ---
    I'd love to stop it myself,
[15:22] ---
    but I'm afraid there's a bomb
    onboard that will explode if we stop...
[15:28] ---
    N-Not to mention we have a
    cholera outbreak in this carriage!
[15:32] ---
    You may already be infected!
[15:35] ---
    You're saying a train
    with a bomb onboard
[15:36] ---
    is headed for a run-down bridge,
[15:38] ---
    and there's cholera?!
[15:40] ---
    It's certainly a full-course menu of crises.
[15:43] ---
    Enough of this farce. Sebastian,
    hurry up and do something about this.
[15:48] ---
    That's an order!
[15:49] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[15:53] ---
    Forget it!
[15:54] ---
    To hell with your cholera and your bombs!
[15:56] ---
    I'm getting out of here!
[15:59] ---
    Young master--
[16:01] ---
    Not so fast! This is too much
    for an ordinary butler to handle!
[16:04] ---
    At times like these, we get assistance
[16:07] ---
    from various professionals
    who just happen to be onboard!
[16:10] ---
    We'll all band together
    to take a stand against evil!
[16:12] ---
    I see. What wishful thinking.
[16:16] ---
    Not necessarily.
[16:18] ---
    I used to be in the killing business myself.
[16:22] ---
    But after he killed someone precious to me,
[16:25] ---
    I went straight and became a priest.
[16:27] ---
    As the Holy Book tells us,
    "Ye are your own enemies."
[16:33] ---
    It's time to settle the score.
[16:37] ---
    But right now I don't have
    a weapon to face him with.
[16:41] ---
    Use this!
[16:49] ---
    This is the family treasure passed
    down for generations: the Zantomaru!
[16:53] ---
    I brought it here to give it to
    my son, an exchange student.
[16:57] ---
    But I'm sure this katana would
    be happier being useful here!
[17:01] ---
    In that case, leave the bomb to me!
[17:05] ---
    I've used time bombs in my excavations!
[17:10] ---
    They generally have two
    wires: a black one and a red one.
[17:13] ---
    One is a dummy. If you cut
    the right one, you can disable it,
[17:17] ---
    but if you pick the wrong one--boom!
[17:19] ---
    Still, do we have enough
    time to find the bomb...?
[17:24] ---
    We should be fine!
    This point up ahead is crucial!
[17:28] ---
    Change the point and
    enter the High Peak Railway!
[17:30] ---
    And if we change the next point, too...
[17:33] ---
    We can gain twenty
    whole minutes of extra time!
[17:40] ---
    Brilliant! We'll all join forces
    and find our way out of this!
[17:47] ---
    I do appreciate the thought,
    but I can handle this myself.
[17:51] ---
    I say! Butler?!
[17:55] ---
    That man has no notion of
    the austere Japanese aesthetic!
[18:03] ---
    You're a right stubborn bastard!
[18:06] ---
    Pass me the young master.
[18:12] ---
    Sure, you just wait there. I'll be right...
[18:18] ---
    I win!
[18:20] ---
    What?!
[18:30] ---
    Come, young master.
[18:32] ---
    Y-You're a monster!
[18:37] ---
    Now, then, Mr. Assassin...
[18:39] ---
    Have a pleasant trip.
[18:45] ---
    Next, the bomb.
[18:50] ---
    There may be a red wire and a black wire...
[19:05] ---
    But there's certainly no
    need for me to choose one.
[19:15] ---
    Hey! If there were
    passengers in that carriage...
[19:19] ---
    Not to worry, my lord.
    That was the roof of the dining car.
[19:23] ---
    And that passenger...
[19:25] ---
    And now...
[19:57] ---
    That was a close shave, but you managed.
[20:01] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who can't
    handle this little full-course menu of crises
[20:05] ---
    isn't worth his salt.
[20:17] ---
    Th-That was magnificent, butler.
[20:22] ---
    That's right! What about the cholera?
[20:23] ---
    The whole train might be infected by now.
[20:26] ---
    There's no need for concern, my lord.
[20:29] ---
    Those whose stomachs
    ail them should take this.
[20:33] ---
    I don't recall there being
    an instant cure for cholera.
[20:35] ---
    Oh, no, this is just a digestive tonic.
[20:38] ---
    Digestive tonic?
[20:40] ---
    Japanese tradition has always held
    certain food pairings to be harmful.
[20:43] ---
    Watermelon and tempura,
    eel and pickled plum...
[20:48] ---
    I imagine his stomachache is from
    eating a rice ball with pickled plum
[20:51] ---
    despite having been
    served eel pie in the dining car.
[20:57] ---
    I'm cured! I'm cured!
[20:59] ---
    It shouldn't work that fast.
[21:03] ---
    Butler, you are no ordinary butler at--
[21:05] ---
    I am merely one hell of a butler.
[21:23] ---
    --Bring it down slowly!
[21:24] ---
    --Father!
[21:33] ---
    Here.
[21:34] ---
    My tea spilled in all the commotion.
[21:37] ---
    A true butler should have
    been able to sort that out
[21:39] ---
    without the slightest rocking of the train.
[21:41] ---
    Yes, I can see you
    took some damage as well.
[21:51] ---
    What is that?
[21:52] ---
    If you wish to investigate my master,
[21:54] ---
    march into the Trancy mansion
    right through the front gate.
[21:59] ---
    You want to help young master
    Ciel take his revenge, don't you?
[22:14] ---
    Nemuru anata wa kanashisou de

[23:37] ---
    Yesterday was tiring even for me.
[23:45] ---
    What's this?
[23:49] ---
    An invitation to a
    ball at the Trancy estate.
[23:52] ---
    What?!
[23:54] ---
    Trancy...
[24:04] ---
    An invitation to a ball,
    sent by the Trancy estate.

[24:08] ---
    Very well. I'll let you
    dance to my tune all you like.

[24:12] ---
    Though it appears I'm
    the one more accustomed

[24:15] ---
    to wearing the constrictive
    dancing shoes of butlerhood...

[24:20] ---
    Next time: "Beacon Butler."
[24:22] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who can't
    dance that isn't worth his salt.

[24:29] ---
    "Next Time: Beacon Butler"
