**[00:20] ---**
Here you are.
**[00:21] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:23] ---**
Agni's curry bread is very nutritious.
**[00:26] ---**
You'll smile when you eat it!
**[00:30] ---**
It's piping hot!
**[00:31] ---**
Thank you.
**[00:34] ---**
You?!
**[00:36] ---**
Sebastian?
**[00:39] ---**
It's so good!
**[00:45] ---**
Is that true?
**[00:46] ---**
Ciel has... lost his memories?!
**[00:55] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[01:03] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[01:10] ---**
"Black Butler II"
**[01:18] ---**
*I run up to you from
behind asking questions*
**[01:21] ---**
*The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like*
**[01:28] ---**
*Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore*
**[01:34] ---**
*My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--*
**[01:42] ---**
*If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs*
**[01:50] ---**
*Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away*
**[01:57] ---**
*Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"*
**[02:05] ---**
*Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away*
**[02:13] ---**
*Our two hearts will never grow apart*
**[02:24] ---**
"Trancy"... Just who is he?
**[02:28] ---**
And Ciel's really coming as well?
**[02:30] ---**
Yes.
**[02:33] ---**
I've tried to visit Ciel
so many times since then.
**[02:37] ---**
But...
**[02:38] ---**
Sebastian said that Lord
Phantomhive would be suspicious
**[02:42] ---**
if you met with him
in an unnatural setting.
**[02:46] ---**
That day, Ciel's *khansama* said
**[02:50] ---**
that Ciel has no memory of the
recent past, starting when we met.
**[02:54] ---**
And he said that to
keep from hurting Ciel,
**[02:58] ---**
he wants us to act as if nothing's
happened until the memories come back.
**[03:01] ---**
He said he'd made the same request
to everyone else who knows Ciel.
**[03:20] ---**
"Even if I'm plunged
to the depths of despair,
**[03:23] ---**
if there's a spider's thread
there that I can crawl up,
**[03:25] ---**
I'll take hold of it without giving up.
**[03:27] ---**
We humans have the strength for that."
**[03:30] ---**
Ciel said that to me.
**[03:32] ---**
Your Highness...
**[03:33] ---**
I won't give up!
**[03:35] ---**
I'll play this part perfectly for Ciel!
**[03:38] ---**
Don't you dare let him
catch on. Got it, Agni?
**[03:42] ---**
*Jo ājñā.*
**[03:45] ---**
"Beacon Butler"
**[03:51] ---**
Ball, ball, ball!
**[03:55] ---**
Tonight we're going to a costume ball!
**[03:58] ---**
I'm looking forward to it, yes!
**[04:00] ---**
Yeah, he's even letting us servants
come as long as we wear costumes!
**[04:04] ---**
Now that's a nice fellow for you.
Hmm... what's his name, again?
**[04:08] ---**
Tr... Tr... Trumpet?
**[04:10] ---**
It's "Lord Trancy," yes!
**[04:15] ---**
Alois Trancy...
**[04:17] ---**
You say the previous Earl
Trancy died three years ago?
**[04:21] ---**
Yes.
**[04:24] ---**
Three years ago...
**[04:26] ---**
Father! Mother!
**[04:32] ---**
Stop it!
**[04:35] ---**
Alois went missing after he was
kidnapped when he was very young.
**[04:40] ---**
But he came back just
before his father passed away.
**[04:43] ---**
Along with a mysterious butler...
**[04:46] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[04:48] ---**
Yes, my lord. The story
seems familiar somehow.
**[04:53] ---**
It's a common one.
**[05:04] ---**
Right, then. We'll be
coming in the back way.
**[05:06] ---**
See you later, young master!
**[05:08] ---**
Look forward to seeing our costumes!
**[05:24] ---**
The Right Honorable Ciel,
Earl Phantomhive, I presume?
**[05:27] ---**
We've been expecting you.
**[05:29] ---**
I am Claude Faustus,
the butler of this house.
**[05:36] ---**
Please come in.
**[05:41] ---**
What is it?
**[05:44] ---**
Ah, yes.
**[05:46] ---**
The Trancy coat of arms bears a spider,
**[05:49] ---**
so it's our tradition not to kill them.
**[05:51] ---**
That makes sense.
**[05:52] ---**
If you try to force it away,
it will cling to you for life.
**[05:59] ---**
This way, please.
**[06:23] ---**
Young master, what's the matter?
**[06:26] ---**
It's nothing!
**[06:29] ---**
Might my butler come along?
**[06:30] ---**
Of course.
**[06:32] ---**
Come on.
**[06:33] ---**
Certainly.
**[06:33] ---**
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid my master
**[06:35] ---**
is currently away on business.
**[06:37] ---**
He'll return in time for the ball.
**[06:40] ---**
I see.
**[06:41] ---**
I've laid out tea in the drawing room.
**[06:44] ---**
Everyone else is already there.
**[06:47] ---**
"Everyone else"?
**[06:49] ---**
Ciel!
**[06:52] ---**
Elizabeth?!
**[06:54] ---**
Honestly! It's "Lizzie."
**[06:56] ---**
You're late, my lord.
**[06:59] ---**
Lau!
**[07:01] ---**
So you two were invited as well?
**[07:03] ---**
Which means...
**[07:06] ---**
What is it?
**[07:07] ---**
Nothing. I thought Madam Red
might be here too, but I don't see her.
**[07:12] ---**
I'd have thought she wouldn't
miss this for the world...
**[07:16] ---**
Oh, well, you see--
**[07:19] ---**
Please calm down, Lady Elizabeth.
**[07:21] ---**
Ciel!
**[07:24] ---**
Oh, my.
**[07:27] ---**
Ciel! Ciel!
**[07:29] ---**
Who in blazes are you?! Let me go!
**[07:31] ---**
Who am I?! You mean you... you...
**[07:37] ---**
I told you, let me go!
**[07:39] ---**
Is that...
**[07:41] ---**
Yes, that's Prince Soma.
**[07:43] ---**
He'll ruin everything!
**[07:45] ---**
Not to worry, my lady.
Prince Soma has *him*.
**[07:49] ---**
You mustn't do that, Your Highness!
**[07:51] ---**
No! Ciel! Ciel!
**[07:54] ---**
Who *is* that man?
**[08:00] ---**
My apologies, my lord.
**[08:02] ---**
This is the 26th child of the king of Bengal,
**[08:06] ---**
Prince Soma Asman Kadar.
**[08:08] ---**
And why would that "prince" start
weeping the moment he saw me?
**[08:11] ---**
Ciel!
**[08:13] ---**
I-I finally got to see you, but you're...
**[08:16] ---**
His Highness is deeply moved at meeting
the founder of the Funtom Company.
**[08:19] ---**
Funtom toys are considered very rare
and wonderful where we come from.
**[08:23] ---**
Our memories will never fade!
**[08:26] ---**
Those toys hold precious
memories of the prince and his friend.
**[08:30] ---**
No matter what happens, the
friendship between the two of us will--
**[08:33] ---**
That friend was very
dear to His Highness.
**[08:37] ---**
But he... he... Oh, it's heartbreaking!
**[08:42] ---**
My prince!
**[08:44] ---**
Agni!
**[08:49] ---**
I fear we can do nothing with them.
**[08:51] ---**
Young master, let's retire to our
rooms. We must prepare for the ball.
**[08:55] ---**
Come, now.
**[08:59] ---**
Ciel! Ciel!
**[09:06] ---**
What queer people.
**[09:08] ---**
Foreigners are a bit baffling, aren't they?
**[09:27] ---**
Sebastian, search this mansion
from top to bottom, understood?
**[09:31] ---**
Very good.
**[09:42] ---**
Shit.
**[09:44] ---**
And this is shit. This one's shit, too!
**[09:46] ---**
And this!
**[09:54] ---**
This is shit of the highest grade!
**[10:03] ---**
Where is he?
**[10:04] ---**
He has arrived.
**[10:07] ---**
I was choosing a costume.
**[10:09] ---**
You wear one too, Claude.
How about something like this?
**[10:16] ---**
Olé!
**[10:27] ---**
All the costumes you
brought me are bloody useless!
**[10:31] ---**
Strip, Hannah.
**[11:14] ---**
I assume you're ready, Claude?
**[11:17] ---**
Certainly. I transform day
into night, pleasure into pain,
**[11:20] ---**
and waltzes into requiems.
**[11:22] ---**
That's what makes a Trancy butler.
**[11:26] ---**
I'll show you a good
time, Ciel Phantomhive.
**[11:46] ---**
Ciel!
**[11:47] ---**
You wear one of these, too.
**[11:50] ---**
Fine.
**[11:54] ---**
Now we match!
**[12:04] ---**
Jingle, jingle!
**[12:05] ---**
You're not wearing a
costume, Your Highness?
**[12:09] ---**
This is my Sherlock Holmes costume.
**[12:12] ---**
Young master!
**[12:14] ---**
We're the Three Musketeers
of Chinese monsters!
**[12:17] ---**
Magic monkey!
**[12:18] ---**
Let's go, Gandhara, yes!
**[12:21] ---**
We had a costume made
for you too, young master!
**[12:23] ---**
Ta-da!
**[12:29] ---**
Rejected.
**[12:33] ---**
At least wear this part!
**[12:35] ---**
Tonight's party is shaping up to be
very entertaining, isn't it, Ran-Mao?
**[12:50] ---**
This is a marvelous room.
**[12:52] ---**
Everything is perfect, from
the precision of the bedclothes
**[12:54] ---**
to the cleaning and
even the desk drawers.
**[12:58] ---**
I sense the special care for your
guest that you must have taken.
**[13:01] ---**
It's been very educational for me.
**[13:03] ---**
How nice.
**[13:04] ---**
I'm more impressed by the passion
**[13:06] ---**
that prompts you to stoop to
petty thievery in service to your duty.
**[13:10] ---**
You flatter me.
**[13:17] ---**
I won't let you have my young master.
**[13:19] ---**
You see, I am his butler
come hell or high water.
**[13:23] ---**
The master's orders are absolute.
**[13:25] ---**
I'm one hell of a butler too, you know.
**[13:31] ---**
Pardon me.
**[13:40] ---**
Maybe we should help out, too?
**[13:44] ---**
I agree, yes!
**[13:46] ---**
We'll show them all what the
Phantomhive servants are made of!
**[13:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[13:56] ---**
I-I was just chopping up the food...
**[14:03] ---**
I was just trying to carry the box!
**[14:31] ---**
Sorry.
**[14:33] ---**
Th-They're good!
**[14:35] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[14:39] ---**
Thank you, yes...
**[14:42] ---**
Are you all right?
**[14:47] ---**
I'm so sorry.
**[14:48] ---**
It's nothing. Don't worry about it.
**[14:50] ---**
No, it would be horrible
if your costume stained.
**[14:56] ---**
Come, this way.
**[15:10] ---**
I'm finished.
**[15:18] ---**
I say!
**[15:23] ---**
A lovely blue.
**[15:25] ---**
I wonder if your soul turns
this color when you die?
**[15:29] ---**
What?
**[15:33] ---**
That same color.
**[15:35] ---**
That same color as your ring.
**[15:39] ---**
What are you on about?
**[15:41] ---**
I wonder: if I could become one with you,
**[15:46] ---**
would I be able to have this blue?
**[15:55] ---**
Your eye is impure.
**[16:14] ---**
Honestly, there's just
nothing to be done with you!
**[16:16] ---**
S-Sorry...
**[16:18] ---**
We repent, yes.
**[16:20] ---**
My prince.
**[16:23] ---**
It's finished, then, Watson?
**[16:25] ---**
"Watson"?
**[16:26] ---**
Yes.
**[16:31] ---**
Well, if it isn't curry bread.
**[16:33] ---**
Where did they come from?
**[16:35] ---**
I borrowed the house's
kitchen to make them.
**[16:37] ---**
Ciel's memory might come
back if he eats some of these.
**[16:42] ---**
That was my thought.
**[16:44] ---**
We'll help!
**[16:45] ---**
We want to show him lots of fun,
and get him to remember old times, yes!
**[16:50] ---**
Yes.
**[16:50] ---**
Yup!
**[16:51] ---**
It seems everyone feels the same.
**[16:56] ---**
Wait, the earl has amnesia?
**[16:59] ---**
Really? Since when?
**[17:01] ---**
You didn't know?
**[17:04] ---**
I wonder where Ciel went...
**[17:18] ---**
*What? I know this mansion?*
**[17:21] ---**
*No, that doesn't make sense...*
**[17:45] ---**
--Sebastian?
*-- "New Moon Drop"...*
**[17:47] ---**
*People say that tea leaves
plucked on the night of the full moon*
**[17:51] ---**
*have a clear, sweet smell,*
**[17:52] ---**
*but these are the opposite:
tea leaves plucked at new moon.*
**[17:56] ---**
*They give off an indistinct scent...*
**[18:09] ---**
It's otherwise known as
"the soul's temperature."
**[18:14] ---**
Sebastian!
**[18:21] ---**
Not yet.
**[18:23] ---**
It's all right; I promise to
show it to you. But first...
**[18:31] ---**
*Give me that trunk, Sebastian Michaelis!*
**[18:57] ---**
*Don't kill him! You mustn't kill him!*
**[19:00] ---**
*Catch him, Claude!*
**[19:04] ---**
*Ciel Phantomhive?*
**[19:08] ---**
*I finally have you, Ciel!*
**[19:23] ---**
What's wrong?
**[19:29] ---**
Can't you breathe? Does it hurt?
**[19:33] ---**
If it hurts, I'll lick it all better for you.
**[19:36] ---**
I'll lick your wounds.
**[19:38] ---**
Enough of this farce.
**[19:40] ---**
Enough of this farce, Alois Trancy!
**[19:45] ---**
So you were on to me. What a drag.
**[19:48] ---**
I thought if I let you get
me alone, you'd make a move.
**[19:52] ---**
So you followed me on purpose?
**[19:54] ---**
But...
**[20:03] ---**
I can't have you underestimating me.
**[20:06] ---**
My young master is quite right.
**[20:12] ---**
I believe I warned you earlier, Claude.
**[20:17] ---**
Oh, we just wanted to chat somewhere quiet.
**[20:20] ---**
What could you possibly want from me
**[20:22] ---**
enough to hold a costume ball
and dress yourself up that way?
**[20:27] ---**
I want you.
**[20:29] ---**
What do you mean?
**[20:30] ---**
That I want you. That's
all, Ciel Phantomhive.
**[20:36] ---**
If you refuse me...
**[20:38] ---**
I'll have everyone in there killed.
**[20:45] ---**
I've arranged for a little performance.
**[20:47] ---**
And if it begins, everyone dies.
**[20:51] ---**
Including the people you care about.
**[21:05] ---**
Well?
**[21:09] ---**
Do as you like.
**[21:14] ---**
Are you sure about that?
**[21:16] ---**
Of course--*if* you can. I have
something I'd like to ask you, too.
**[21:20] ---**
What is it? I'll tell you...
**[21:23] ---**
if you bow down and kiss my arse.
**[21:27] ---**
I wonder which of us
will kiss arse in the end?
**[21:29] ---**
Well, aren't *you* confident?
**[21:34] ---**
Don't get cocky just because
your butler has a little talent.
**[21:39] ---**
My Claude here is even *more* amazing!
**[21:45] ---**
Yes, I thought you'd have one.
**[21:49] ---**
You understand our contract, Sebastian.
**[21:53] ---**
You'll serve me, you'll protect
me, and you will not kill me
**[21:58] ---**
until my goal is achieved.
**[22:00] ---**
Of course.
**[22:02] ---**
I've been your loyal
servant ever since that day.
**[22:05] ---**
I'll grant you any wish you like...
**[22:08] ---**
Until the day our contract is
fulfilled and I take your soul.
**[22:12] ---**
Good answer.
**[22:13] ---**
Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel.
**[22:17] ---**
Claude!
**[22:19] ---**
Get me Ciel!
**[22:20] ---**
This is an order, Sebastian.
**[22:23] ---**
Do whatever it takes to
protect me. Do not fail.
**[22:27] ---**
Yes, Your Highness.
**[22:29] ---**
Yes, my lord.
**[22:40] ---**
*Asleep, you look so sad*
**[22:47] ---**
*You look as though
you're having bad dreams*
**[22:54] ---**
*How do I live without you?*
**[22:59] ---**
*Lock me up, and only me*
**[23:06] ---**
*Within the sky of yourself*
**[23:14] ---**
*I mourn that I can't go in search*
**[23:20] ---**
*Of that blue sky I once saw*
**[23:28] ---**
*But everyone is in the sky*
**[23:35] ---**
*In the cage of freedom*
**[23:42] ---**
*In a starless night sky*
**[23:49] ---**
*Unable to see where I'm going... I wander*
**[24:05] ---**
*Black roses and vows are exchanged.*
**[24:08] ---**
*The fragrance my
young master's soul gives off*
**[24:10] ---**
*intoxicates demons, drives them mad,*
**[24:13] ---**
*and impels them toward
the farce called "battle."*
**[24:18] ---**
*Next time: "Bedewed Butler."*
**[24:22] ---**
*A Phantomhive butler who won't
recapture his initial enthusiasm on occasion*
**[24:27] ---**
*and make some raw beef donburi
isn't worth his salt.*
**[24:28] ---**
"Next Time: Bedewed Butler"
