[00:07] ---
    Here's what Scotland Yard and
    the press are calling the criminal:
[00:12] ---
    "Jack the Ripper."
[00:15] ---
    Incomplete?
[00:16] ---
    Yes, incomplete... the wombs are missing.
[00:21] ---
    Indeed. None of the humans
    inside his mansion could have done it.
[00:25] ---
    Sebastian!
[00:27] ---
    Don't tell me you...?
[00:28] ---
    You two are the only ones
    who could be Jack the Ripper...
[00:32] ---
    ...Madam Red and Grell Sutcliff.
[00:35] ---
    You...
[00:38] ---
    You should never have been born!
[00:47] ---
    I can't do it after all. I can't kill him.
[00:52] ---
    I'm disappointed in you, Madam Red!
[00:55] ---
    I have no interest in you if
    you're just another woman!
[01:25] ---
    A demon and a grim reaper.
[01:30] ---
    I suppose a meeting of
    the minds is impossible?
[01:33] ---
    Our feelings for each other are forbidden...
[01:35] ---
    It's just like the
    tragedy of Romeo and Juliet!
[01:42] ---
    O Sebas-chan, Sebas-chan!
    Wherefore art thou Sebas-chan?
[01:51] ---
    If you'd refuse that appalling
    name your master gave you
[01:54] ---
    and focus on me alone...
[01:58] ---
    From the moment my master
    called me "Sebastian,"
[02:02] ---
    that word became my new baptism and contract.
[02:06] ---
    I've been Sebastian since that day.
[02:10] ---
    By yonder moon I swear it.
[02:12] ---
    What an insincere man you are,
    to swear by the inconstant moon.
[02:17] ---
    Your eyes are impure eyes which love no one.
[02:21] ---
    You are a devil who profanes innocent
    souls with your unworthy hands and lips.
[02:25] ---
    Oh, it's so good! You thrill me, Sebastian!
[02:29] ---
    I feel as if I could bear your children!
[02:31] ---
    Please stop. That's repellant.
[02:34] ---
    Oh, you're so cold.
[02:39] ---
    Beautiful tyrant!
[02:42] ---
    Fiend angelical!
[02:44] ---
    Dove-feather'd raven!
[02:47] ---
    Sebas-chan!
[02:51] ---
    Oh, Sebas-chan...
[02:53] ---
    Would that
    morning should never come!
[02:56] ---
    Then the two of us could
    live in love like this forever.
[03:02] ---
    But our amorous adventure ends now.
[03:07] ---
    We part with a passionate kiss!
[03:10] ---
    A thousand times, a million times good night!
[03:19] ---
    Now, show me a drastic and dramatic Record!
[03:42] ---
    "Black Butler"

    "His Butler, At the Funeral"
[05:12] ---
    W-Wait... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[05:16] ---
    Who are these people?!
[05:22] ---
    That's been my everyday life
    for the past year, after all.
[05:26] ---
    I'm not interested in a
    domestic Record like this!
[05:30] ---
    Come on, show me the good parts!
[05:33] ---
    I'm afraid I charge admission
    to view the rest.
[05:36] ---
    Skinflint!
[05:42] ---
    Oh, no, my clothes are ruined again.
[05:47] ---
    This is past mending.
[05:49] ---
    You're pretty confident, worrying
    about your clothes at a time like this.
[05:52] ---
    But I like a man who's careful
    about his appearance, Sebas-chan.
[06:00] ---
    This is the one technique
    I didn't want to use...
[06:05] ---
    ...but there's no help for it.
[06:07] ---
    So you're finally going to
    get serious with me, then?
[06:11] ---
    Shall we close the curtain
    on this with the next blow?
[06:14] ---
    Say your farewells to this world.
[06:16] ---
    Let's be joined in the hereafter, Sebas-chan!
[06:38] ---
    What?!
[06:40] ---
    That tailcoat is made of
    high-quality Yorkshire wool.
[06:44] ---
    Wool has one of the highest
    frictional forces of all cloths.
[06:48] ---
    Once it gets enmeshed in something,
    it's very difficult to remove.
[06:50] ---
    WTF?!
[06:54] ---
    That coat was supplied to me by
    the estate, and I didn't want to use it...
[06:59] ---
    But you had ruined it already, after all.
[07:05] ---
    Now, in a normal fistfight,
[07:09] ---
    I feel a certain amount of confidence.
[07:11] ---
    W-Wait! Please! Not the face!
[07:24] ---
    Not the face!
[07:30] ---
    Please stop!
[07:40] ---
    Please excuse me. I misjudged the distance.
[07:44] ---
    You look awful.
[07:46] ---
    I had a bit of trouble with him.
[07:49] ---
    I'll get you for this...
[07:52] ---
    Oh, dear.
[07:53] ---
    I suppose one can't kill
    a grim reaper with bare fists.
[07:58] ---
    But what about with this?
[08:01] ---
    The grim reaper's sickle,
    which can cut anything...
[08:04] ---
    Shouldn't it be able to cut even you?
[08:08] ---
    Wh-What are you thinking?!
[08:10] ---
    N-N-No--
[08:12] ---
    I don't enjoy being kicked,
[08:15] ---
    but doing the kicking feels rather nice.
[08:17] ---
    --That hurts! Sebas-chan, it hurts, it hurts!
[08:19] ---
    --Young master, hideous though
    he may be, he is still a divine being.
[08:23] ---
    Are you prepared to shoulder
    the heavy crime of killing the divine?
[08:27] ---
    Are you trying to make me repeat my order?
[08:31] ---
    Very good, my lord.
[08:34] ---
    You scream very nicely.
[08:37] ---
    As a reward...
[08:40] ---
    I'll kill you with your favorite toy!
[08:43] ---
    Please, stop!
[08:46] ---
    No.
[08:47] ---
    Don't you want to know
    who killed his parents?
[09:00] ---
    I apologize for interrupting
    your conversation.
[09:05] ---
    I am William T. Spears,
[09:08] ---
    an administrator at the Grim
    Reaper Staffing Association.
[09:13] ---
    I came to take charge of that reaper there.
[09:15] ---
    Will! William!
[09:19] ---
    So you came to save me!
[09:23] ---
    Temp worker Grell Sutcliff,
    you have violated regulations.
[09:28] ---
    Firstly, you killed people
    not on the To-Die list.
[09:31] ---
    Secondly, you used a death scythe for
    which a permission form was not filed.
[09:35] ---
    And finally, you attempted
    to leak information
[09:38] ---
    about the cause of death
    and identity of the murderer.
[09:45] ---
    I am sorry for all the trouble
    this wretch has caused.
[09:45] ---
    "This Wretch"
[09:48] ---
    Oh, here's my card.
[09:52] ---
    Really, I never thought I'd see the day
[09:56] ---
    when I'd have to bow my head
    to a noxious beast like you...
[09:58] ---
    This is a disgrace to the
    profession of grim reaper.
[10:01] ---
    Then please keep close watch over your staff
[10:05] ---
    so that they don't cause
    trouble for us noxious beasts.
[10:07] ---
    Humans are very susceptible to temptation.
[10:10] ---
    When they are placed in
    the hellish bowels of despair,
[10:14] ---
    if a spider's thread appears
    before them that could get them out,
[10:18] ---
    they will cling to it without fail.
[10:21] ---
    Any human will.
[10:22] ---
    Aren't you demons the ones
    who take advantage of that
[10:25] ---
    to deceive humans and prey upon them?
[10:29] ---
    I won't deny it.
[10:31] ---
    Though you seem to be a
    tame dog with a collar;
[10:33] ---
    that at least makes you a lesser
    evil than the unprincipled, rabid dogs.
[10:37] ---
    Come, Grell Sutcliff, we're leaving.
[10:40] ---
    Honestly... We're already shorthanded,
    and now we won't be able
[10:43] ---
    to finish during regular hours today, either.
[10:45] ---
    The Board is going to scold us again,
    and we'll have to work more overtime.
[10:56] ---
    You forgot that.
[10:57] ---
    Thank you.
[11:03] ---
    Now, please excuse me.
[11:14] ---
    I apologize. I allowed half
    of Jack the Ripper to escape.
[11:21] ---
    It doesn't matter anymore...
[11:27] ---
    You're chilled to the bone.
    Let's hurry back to the townhouse.
[11:31] ---
    I'll make you some hot milk.
[11:34] ---
    Good idea.
[11:38] ---
    Young master!
[11:43] ---
    --Young master...?
[11:44] ---
    --Never mind.
[11:45] ---
    I'm fine. I can stand up by myself.
[11:50] ---
    It's just... I'm a little tired, that's all.
[12:10] ---
    Big brother!
[12:14] ---
    Lots of people here today, huh big brother?
[12:17] ---
    Why?
[12:18] ---
    Dunno.
[12:20] ---
    You're older! You don't know?
[12:22] ---
    Are you dumb?
[12:24] ---
    I'm only twelve! I don't have to know!
[12:27] ---
    Indeed.
[12:30] ---
    It's only natural a normal
    12-year-old wouldn't know.
[12:34] ---
    Today is a certain noblewoman's big day.
[12:39] ---
    Big day?
[12:41] ---
    Yes-- a person's final,
    biggest ceremony in life.
[12:45] ---
    The funeral.
[12:47] ---
    "Except a corn of wheat fall into
    the ground and die, it abideth alone:
[12:52] ---
    but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
[12:54] ---
    So that we do not close
    off our distant future,
[12:57] ---
    --all living things must open death's door.
[12:59] ---
    --Aunt An...
[13:02] ---
    This lady has opened death's door and...
[13:12] ---
    Ciel?
[13:17] ---
    That's... the Phantomhive boy?
[13:19] ---
    A scarlet dress?
[13:21] ---
    How improper!
[13:23] ---
    But Madam loved the color red.
[13:41] ---
    White flowers and plain
    dresses don't suit you.
[13:46] ---
    What suits you is a passionate red.
[13:50] ---
    The color of spider lilies
    blazing in the fields...
[13:54] ---
    Aunt An.

    ...Madam Red.
[15:19] ---
    The funeral must be going on right now, yes.
[15:21] ---
    So Madam won't be coming to
    visit anymore... it'll be lonely.
[15:27] ---
    What's with the long faces?!
[15:29] ---
    This is exactly the kind of time when
    we need to support the young lord!
[15:33] ---
    Right!
[15:38] ---
    So you've gone to be with
    your loved ones,
[15:43] ---
    my lady.
[15:53] ---
    You're still here? The investigation is over.
[15:55] ---
    But I can't accept that!
[15:57] ---
    Doesn't Scotland Yard exist
    to protect the citizens?
[16:02] ---
    Our country of England has a long history.
[16:05] ---
    And because of that, there is an
    ancient layer of sediment at bottom...
[16:08] ---
    an underworld you must stay far away from.
[16:11] ---
    A decision has been handed down
    that this matter should be settled
[16:14] ---
    according to the rules of that underworld.
[16:17] ---
    Who decided that?
[16:19] ---
    If you want to know, get yourself promoted.
[16:21] ---
    But when you find out, I
    imagine you'll regret it.
[16:26] ---
    You'll wish you'd never known.
[16:30] ---
    You're not going to report to
    the Queen who Jack the Ripper was?
[16:33] ---
    There's no need.
[16:36] ---
    Her wish was that we end the incidents.
[16:39] ---
    That objective has been fulfilled.
[16:41] ---
    And you'll keep right on
    sinking into the quagmire, won't you?
[16:46] ---
    Even if you set foot somewhere
    you can't return from,
[16:50] ---
    I know you would never let anyone see you
[16:53] ---
    pathetically screaming and crying for help.
[16:56] ---
    Not you, the proud dog of the Queen.
[16:59] ---
    I'll be careful not to make
    myself a target for you, my lord.
[17:03] ---
    Opium dens are starting to become a problem.
[17:07] ---
    If you're going to get out, now's the time.
[17:09] ---
    If I did that, I'd have to
    think of another business to run.
[17:15] ---
    You could always go back
    to your home country.
[17:18] ---
    I haven't exhausted my
    interest in this country yet.
[17:22] ---
    Or in you, my lord.
[17:26] ---
    I fully expect you'll put on many
    more interesting shows for me.
[17:32] ---
    We have somewhere to go. Come.
[17:37] ---
    This is...
[17:38] ---
    My final customer from the
    Jack the Ripper murders.
[17:42] ---
    Apparently she was an immigrant.
[17:44] ---
    They couldn't find anyone to claim her body.
[17:47] ---
    So our kindhearted earl
    here hired me to pretty her up
[17:52] ---
    and even erected this gravestone for her.
[17:56] ---
    I'm not kindhearted.
[17:57] ---
    If I had given her life
    first priority that night,
[18:01] ---
    there would have been plenty
    of ways to save her.
[18:04] ---
    But I instead, I prioritized
    catching Jack the Ripper.
[18:09] ---
    I knew she wouldn't be saved.
[18:13] ---
    I knew, and I let her die...
[18:15] ---
    My own flesh and blood...
[18:18] ---
    Are you having regrets?
[18:20] ---
    No. Jack the Ripper is gone,
[18:23] ---
    and Her Majesty's anxieties are resolved.
[18:26] ---
    Victoria, eh? I don't like her.
[18:30] ---
    She forces all the misery onto you
    while she just sits back and watches.
[18:36] ---
    This is my family's lot in life.
[18:38] ---
    It's been passed down for
    generations along with this ring.
[18:41] ---
    That ring is like a dog collar.
[18:45] ---
    It connects you to the Queen
    by the chains of "fate."
[18:48] ---
    I'm the one who chose this!
[18:50] ---
    I pray you're never hung by that collar.
[18:57] ---
    That would be so boring.
[18:59] ---
    Come by the shop whenever you need something.
[19:02] ---
    You and your butler are always welcome.
[19:14] ---
    You are kindhearted.
[19:16] ---
    Don't make me repeat myself! I'm not kind--
[19:19] ---
    Yes, you are kindhearted.
[19:21] ---
    If you aren't, perhaps
    that means you're weak.
[19:25] ---
    Why, you!
[19:26] ---
    Why didn't you shoot?
[19:29] ---
    "I let my own flesh and blood die"?
    I take a dim view of lies, you know.
[19:34] ---
    If you had wanted to shoot
    her then, you could have.
[19:39] ---
    But you wavered, and even when I
    urged you, you refused to draw your gun.
[19:44] ---
    Why?
[19:46] ---
    Were you afraid to kill Madam Red yourself?
[19:51] ---
    Do you mean to tell me you can
    kill a stranger,
[19:54] ---
    but not your own kin?
[19:59] ---
    Because it was your job.
[20:04] ---
    I thought you would protect me
    even at the cost of your own life.
[20:07] ---
    That's why I didn't shoot.
[20:10] ---
    Our contract demands that you serve me;
[20:11] ---
    that you protect me and do not kill me
[20:15] ---
    until my goal is achieved.
[20:18] ---
    I imagine a demon has no
    "principles" or "loyalty."
[20:22] ---
    All you have is aesthetics.
[20:24] ---
    And so for the sake of your own aesthetics,
[20:26] ---
    you will protect me no matter what.
[20:29] ---
    Am I wrong?
[20:30] ---
    Why did you stop me, then?
[20:34] ---
    There was hesitation in her
    eyes as she moved to kill me.
[20:40] ---
    I thought she wouldn't be
    able to kill me... her own kin.
[20:46] ---
    One wrong move costs a person her life.
[20:49] ---
    It's just like chess.
[20:52] ---
    She hesitated and lost
    sight of her next move.
[20:55] ---
    That's all there is to it.
[21:01] ---
    So I won't hesitate.
[21:09] ---
    That's what I like to hear.
[21:11] ---
    Always skillfully manipulate
    your chess pieces, and survive.
[21:16] ---
    Use me, and Madam Red, and
    any pieces within your reach.
[21:21] ---
    Even if the bodies of your pawns
    pile up at the foot of your throne...
[21:26] ---
    Because if the king falls, this game is over.
[21:30] ---
    I won't stop moving, and I
    won't regret the steps I've taken.
[21:35] ---
    So this is an order:
[21:38] ---
    you are the one man who must not betray me.
[21:40] ---
    Don't leave my side.
[21:44] ---
    Ever.
[21:50] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[21:54] ---
    I shall accompany you
    anywhere you wish me to.
[22:05] ---
    Even if your throne crumbles,
    your radiant crown rots,
[22:10] ---
    and a mountain of bodies piles up...
[22:13] ---
    I shall stay beside your small form
    as you lie atop your fallen pawns
[22:20] ---
    until I hear the final call.
[24:04] ---
    My young master's orders are to
    develop a certain historied village
[24:07] ---
    into a resort for the Queen.
[24:11] ---
    If he's entrusted with petty,
    lowbrow tasks like this,
[24:14] ---
    there is certainly something to his
    nickname of "the Queen's guard dog."
[24:20] ---
    Wag your tail and dig over here. Woof, woof.
[24:24] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Merrymaking."
[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Merrymaking"
[24:28] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
