[00:07] ---
    At noon you have the Funtom
    Company's regular meeting,
[00:10] ---
    and then at two o'clock your
    dance lesson with Mrs. Hyatt.
[00:14] ---
    At six Professor Macmillan will
    give you your political studies lesson.
[00:18] ---
    That's all you have scheduled for today.
[00:19] ---
    Right.
[00:20] ---
    Also, my lord, we received this.
[00:31] ---
    "On behalf of the Earl Alois Trancy
[00:33] ---
    I write to Lord Ciel
    Phantomhive this day to apologize
[00:35] ---
    for my master's discourtesy
    at the ball the other day
[00:38] ---
    and request your most honored
    presence at the ball to be held
[00:42] ---
    here at the Trancy mansion
    tomorrow afternoon at four o'clock."
[00:50] ---
    Alois Trancy...
[00:55] ---
    Incidents in the English
    underworld which wrong the Queen
[00:59] ---
    are judged in darkness
    by the Phantomhives,
[01:02] ---
    the "Queen's guard dogs,"
[01:04] ---
    and erased in darkness by the
    Trancys, the "Queen's spiders."
[01:12] ---
    The two houses had the Queen's
    trust as her "villainous nobles."
[01:15] ---
    But Alois Trancy would not let matters lie.
[01:20] ---
    Seeking to monopolize Her Majesty's favor,
[01:24] ---
    Alois spread the rumor that the
    guard dog was possessed by a demon.
[01:28] ---
    At that time, the previous
    head of the Phantomhives
[01:31] ---
    was investigating a series
    of mysterious live burnings.
[01:35] ---
    Alois proclaimed that the crimes
    were the Phantomhives' doing,
[01:40] ---
    and decided at his own
    discretion to purge them...
[01:44] ---
    In the name of "exorcism."
[01:47] ---
    And then Alois and his butler
    destroyed all the evidence.
[01:53] ---
    According to the records, the
    "spider" either erased people's pasts
[01:56] ---
    or replaced them with false ones
[01:58] ---
    to cover up the crimes.
[02:05] ---
    It's true, Lord Trancy ordered me
[02:08] ---
    to burn down the Phantomhive
    manor and sell off the surviving child.
[02:13] ---
    Please, please spare my life!
[02:16] ---
    Atone for the crime of
    sullying my pride with your life.
[02:24] ---
    Alois... so you're the one I should kill.
[02:30] ---
    This time I'll make
    them dance to my tune...
[02:33] ---
    the Danse Macabre.
[02:36] ---
    The "Dance of Death," my lord?
[02:39] ---
    They've spared us the
    trouble of inviting them here.
[02:43] ---
    Let's go, Sebastian.
    It's time for our duel.
[02:47] ---
    Very good, my lord.
[02:49] ---
    In that case, allow me to
    alter the schedule slightly.
[02:52] ---
    We'll attend the
    noon meeting as planned.
[02:55] ---
    I'll have Mrs. Hyatt and
    Professor Macmillan rescheduled
[02:58] ---
    to tomorrow at the
    earliest, and today at four...
[03:05] ---
    ...we'll have a death match
    with the house of Trancy.
[03:11] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away
[03:19] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[03:26] ---
    "Black Butler II"
[03:34] ---
    I run up to you from
    behind asking questions
[03:37] ---
    The reason I never wavered,
    no matter what the future looked like
[03:44] ---
    Was because I didn't want to
    forget what I believed in anymore
[03:50] ---
    My habit of averting my eyes, my
    vague answers, and my not-funny lies--
[03:58] ---
    If you're not by my side,
    their very meaning blurs
[04:05] ---
    Even if a never-ending
    sorrow steals you away
[04:13] ---
    Don't forget the days when we
    couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"
[04:21] ---
    Tell me that even if a
    never-ending sorrow steals you away
[04:29] ---
    Our two hearts will never grow apart
[04:39] ---
    "Deathly Butler"
[04:44] ---
    Ciel! You came!
[04:48] ---
    Alois Trancy.
[04:49] ---
    It was very good of you to come, my lord.
[04:54] ---
    Come right this way! I'm holding
    a very special ball for you today.
[05:00] ---
    What is this?
[05:01] ---
    One of the dueling arenas of old.
[05:03] ---
    I say, Ciel, why don't we have
    our butlers dance in our places?
[05:09] ---
    Whoever can dance the longest wins.
[05:12] ---
    The loser will have to
    follow the victor's orders.
[05:16] ---
    What do you think?
[05:18] ---
    It would seem they
    planned a death match as well.
[05:23] ---
    That sounds like just our sort of ball.
[05:26] ---
    Much better than dressing
    ourselves up in false costumes.
[05:33] ---
    Sebastian, this is an order:
[05:37] ---
    Win, and bring Alois Trancy
    to stand before me!
[05:41] ---
    I'll kill him with my own hands.
[05:44] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[05:48] ---
    Your orders, Master?
[05:51] ---
    Hmm? Ah, yes.
[05:53] ---
    Make Ciel Phantomhive mine.
[05:58] ---
    And give Sebastian
    Michaelis exquisite agony.
[06:03] ---
    I'm sure you can
    do it, can't you Claude?
[06:06] ---
    Yes, Your Highness.
[06:18] ---
    Now, then...
[06:21] ---
    F-F-Fantastique!
[06:25] ---
    This is the ancient dueling arena
    where legendary heroes crossed swords!
[06:30] ---
    And this is to be this evening's ball?
[06:32] ---
    I have never felt so honored
    to receive a dance invitation!
[06:37] ---
    Sir, might I ask what
    brings you here today?
[06:41] ---
    But of course! I am ever so honored
    to be invited to this costume ball.
[06:45] ---
    I am Aleister Chambers,
    the Viscount Druitt.
[06:47] ---
    I'm afraid the costume
    ball ended last week.
[06:50] ---
    Today's ball is a private one
    for the Earl Phantomhive alone.
[06:55] ---
    Great Scott... What a terrible mistake!
[06:58] ---
    How could I have mixed up the dates?!
[07:01] ---
    I'll just go home, then.
[07:03] ---
    But why did no one tell me?
[07:06] ---
    I suppose society really does look
    down on those with a criminal record...
[07:14] ---
    That visage as pure and
    clear as a lake's surface!
[07:17] ---
    With a steely-gray knife in your hand,
[07:19] ---
    you could be one of Valhalla's valkyries!
[07:21] ---
    No, with the alluring, dusky elegance
[07:23] ---
    of your one-eyed form
    concealed by bandages,
[07:25] ---
    I ought rightfully to call
    you a beautiful demoness!
[07:28] ---
    Your discernment is as
    impressive as one would expect.
[07:32] ---
    A weapon?
[07:34] ---
    Part of our scheme for today's ball.
[07:35] ---
    A ball so charged with allure and danger!
[07:40] ---
    I, Druitt, serve the goddess of beauty,
[07:43] ---
    and I insist on observing
    this for my own edification!
[07:50] ---
    Now then, let us begin...
[07:54] ---
    ...the Danse Macabre.
[07:56] ---
    Group attack: Bloody Washtub.
[07:59] ---
    A three-on-one attack
[08:01] ---
    using a dagger, a long-range
    weapon, and a projectile weapon!
[08:04] ---
    And yet--!
[08:10] ---
    Group attack: move from the Bloody
    Washtub to the Cursed Vanity Mirror.
[08:15] ---
    And now a simultaneous three-man attack?
[08:21] ---
    You have just the rapport
    I should expect from identical faces.
[08:54] ---
    Well, then...
[09:05] ---
    Now you can get along even better.
[09:06] ---
    G-Great Scott!
[09:08] ---
    Nice work.
[09:12] ---
    Oh, now I'll have to mend this.
[09:16] ---
    No need.
[09:18] ---
    You'll be full of holes soon.
[09:30] ---
    Great Scott!
[09:32] ---
    I see, I certainly am in danger
    of being full of holes like this.
[09:38] ---
    I shall repay you for every last bullet.
[10:16] ---
    That will do. It's teatime.
[10:18] ---
    Goodness, is it that late already?
[10:22] ---
    I must prepare my master's refreshments.
[10:26] ---
    We'll suspend the match temporarily.
[10:27] ---
    In that case, might I make
    use of your kitchen as well?
[10:44] ---
    Souls of worth...
[10:53] ---
    Luscious souls...
[10:57] ---
    If souls do vary in taste,
[11:02] ---
    a soul like Ciel Phantomhive's,
    obsessively pursued by a demon...
[11:07] ---
    Oh, do excuse me.
[11:10] ---
    The way you looked at my
    young master concerned me.
[11:13] ---
    The way you seemed to be
    assessing his soul's flavor...
[11:25] ---
    I won't allow you to
    lay a finger on his soul,
[11:31] ---
    or give him any lip either.
[11:41] ---
    G-Great Scott!
[11:46] ---
    What a pointless display.
[11:49] ---
    Today's tea features puits d'amour,
[11:52] ---
    crème pâtissière and raspberry
    jam in a pastry made of pie dough,
[11:57] ---
    accompanying Mariage Frères Eros tea.
[12:10] ---
    E-E-E-E-Excellent!
[12:15] ---
    This puits d'amour pairs rich
    cream with the tartness of raspberry
[12:19] ---
    in a satiny ensemble one could
    justly call the Silk Road of flavor!
[12:23] ---
    I thirst for more--yes, how I thirst!
[12:25] ---
    I travel the Taklamakan
    Desert of the palate!
[12:28] ---
    Could you be flavor's Marco Polo?!
[12:33] ---
    Forêt noire:
[12:35] ---
    layers of chocolate sponge
    cake and cherry compote
[12:39] ---
    dressed with white cream.
[12:42] ---
    It accompanies a superfine
    Keemun tea I had sent to us
[12:45] ---
    from the Qing Empire's Anhui Province.
[12:47] ---
    All right.
[12:48] ---
    Tr-Tr-Tr-Tr...
[12:52] ---
    Très bien!
[12:54] ---
    This forêt noire...
[12:56] ---
    The rich aroma of the chocolate
    accentuates the aroma of the cherry!
[13:00] ---
    Its sweetness and mellowness
    are like surging waves
[13:01] ---
    which arrive at your feet
    having circumnavigated the globe!
[13:03] ---
    Yes, one could justly call
    this flavor's Age of Discovery!
[13:06] ---
    My head spins at the overwhelming
    deliciousness! Spins, I say!
[13:08] ---
    It's the Ptolemaic model of the palate!
[13:10] ---
    Could you be flavor's Vasco da Gama?!
[13:15] ---
    Who could say which
    of the two is better?!
[13:18] ---
    I... I...!
[13:21] ---
    I'm just so moved,
    I must go powder my nose!
[13:23] ---
    The water closet is that way.
[13:27] ---
    What's wrong with that man?
[13:33] ---
    Now, let us resume.
[13:38] ---
    Shall we dance?
[13:41] ---
    Very well.
[13:43] ---
    Now, then...
[13:47] ---
    Claude...
[13:50] ---
    Yes.
[14:09] ---
    What's that?
[14:14] ---
    Well, my goodness me!
[14:18] ---
    If it isn't Lævateinn,
[14:19] ---
    that cursed ancient sword
    cloaked in eternal darkness!
[14:22] ---
    I never dreamed you
    had such a fine article.
[14:25] ---
    I'm merely giving your invitation
    to dance the response it deserves.
[14:30] ---
    Let's begin our Danse Macabre.
[14:50] ---
    Look at Claude's sword, Ciel!
[14:53] ---
    I'll admit it did make me tremble.
[14:58] ---
    Would you mind showing me
    around the manor, Alois Trancy?
[15:04] ---
    What, you need the water closet too?
[15:06] ---
    Of course!
[15:10] ---
    Well, now. I don't think much of you
    passing off the dance to your butler
[15:13] ---
    and then leaving, young master.
[15:15] ---
    I think even less of you letting
    your eyes wander during our dance!
[15:20] ---
    Are you sure being so
    keen on that human's soul
[15:26] ---
    hasn't dulled your demon's instincts?
[15:31] ---
    Oh, my. When did that happen?
[15:38] ---
    I say, where are you going?
[15:42] ---
    I've watched enough
    of those performances.
[15:48] ---
    Alois, Earl Trancy.
[15:50] ---
    You robbed me of my
    pride and demeaned me.
[15:56] ---
    I hereby challenge you to a duel!
[16:03] ---
    Oh, so you didn't just want
    me to come piss with you.
[16:09] ---
    The house of Trancy's spider
    threads can cut through steel.
[16:13] ---
    If you move, you'll lose your head.
[16:17] ---
    There's a spider butler for you.
[16:20] ---
    Ah, I feel so marvelously refreshed!
[16:27] ---
    I've never dueled before.
[16:30] ---
    You decide how we'll do it, Ciel.
[16:33] ---
    We stand back to back, and
    begin walking at the call of "Allez!"
[16:36] ---
    We pivot on the tenth step,
    and the duel begins.
[16:41] ---
    All right. Sounds like fun!
[16:43] ---
    Great Scott! A duel!
[16:48] ---
    Allez!
[16:49] ---
    One, two, three, four,
[16:54] ---
    fi--
[16:56] ---
    No cheating.
[17:01] ---
    Why, you!
[17:15] ---
    Really, I wish you wouldn't
    get so hot and bothered.
[17:18] ---
    Come on, Ciel, let's
    have fun with this dance!
[17:21] ---
    Sebastian Michaelis.
[17:34] ---
    Young master...
[17:37] ---
    Come, now--one, two,
    three! One, two, three!
[17:41] ---
    Down you go!
[17:53] ---
    You're finally mine, Ciel...
[17:57] ---
    Sebastian wants to eat your soul.
[18:01] ---
    But he won't get to. I'm going
    to tear your soul to shreds
[18:05] ---
    and feed it to the spiders of my mansion.
[18:08] ---
    I just know it will rankle him terribly...
[18:13] ---
    I'm about to have such a good time.
[18:15] ---
    The soul of the Queen's guard dog
[18:18] ---
    isn't so cheap that some trifling
    little spider can afford a taste.
[18:22] ---
    If you don't mind having your
    legs ripped off, go ahead and try it.
[18:27] ---
    So you've still got
    the energy to be cheeky.
[18:30] ---
    Just give up and be mine already!
[18:37] ---
    I finally have you.
[18:42] ---
    Young master!
[18:56] ---
    Great Scott! Blood!
[19:02] ---
    It hurts!
[19:06] ---
    Help me! Help me, Claude!
[19:09] ---
    Yes, Your High--
[19:10] ---
    Stay back, Sebastian!
[19:12] ---
    Stay back until I've killed him!
[19:16] ---
    Very good, my lord.
[19:19] ---
    Die, Alois Trancy!
[19:22] ---
    No! I don't want to die!
[19:25] ---
    It hurts... Spare me, Ciel!
[19:29] ---
    You're a disgrace, Alois.
[19:31] ---
    Begging, after you killed my parents?!
[19:33] ---
    You don't understand anything!
[19:37] ---
    You're just being tricked by a demon!
[19:40] ---
    Demon?
[19:41] ---
    My parents were killed too, you know.
[19:44] ---
    My dear family was burned to
    death along with the whole village!
[19:47] ---
    Someone stole what was dear to me!
[19:50] ---
    You and I are the same!
[19:53] ---
    I won't pester you anymore.
[19:55] ---
    I'll apologize for everything! So... So...
[20:00] ---
    Please spare my life!
[20:08] ---
    Atone for the crime of
    sullying my pride with your life!
[20:14] ---
    Help me, Claude!
[20:20] ---
    Claude!
[20:21] ---
    Let me go, you bastard!
[20:24] ---
    Young master!
[20:39] ---
    Alois Trancy!
[20:44] ---
    Given the circumstances,
    I can't allow this dance to continue.
[20:49] ---
    I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we
    must excuse ourselves for today.
[20:54] ---
    Claude?
[20:56] ---
    Qu-Quite. We'll save the
    rest of our ball for another day.
[21:01] ---
    Let's be on our way, young master.
[21:05] ---
    First you run off on your own,
    then you get yourself hurt...
[21:08] ---
    I'm at my wit's end with you.
[21:11] ---
    Do you really hate dancing that much?
[21:13] ---
    Put me down, Sebastian!
[21:15] ---
    Honestly, I don't know how
    you still have the energy to act up
[21:19] ---
    after losing all that blood.
[21:21] ---
    It's the day of a ball.
[21:24] ---
    Let's dance our way out, young master.
[21:33] ---
    That's a soul obsessively
    pursued by a demon...
[21:37] ---
    What are you looking at, Claude?
[21:41] ---
    Can't you see I've been
    stabbed? Help me, quickly!
[21:46] ---
    He's signed his soul over to
    a demon and gained its power,
[21:49] ---
    yet only a revenge he wins with his
    own hands holds meaning for him...
[21:54] ---
    He knows blood and death and darkness,
[21:57] ---
    and yet his soul is pure,
    untainted, immaculate...
[22:03] ---
    Claude...?
[22:05] ---
    Day into night, pleasure into pain,
[22:09] ---
    and this chance
    encounter into... ecstasy...
[22:13] ---
    Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel!
[22:16] ---
    Hoheo taralna, rondero tarel!
[22:19] ---
    Hoheo taralna, rondero--
[22:27] ---
    You look like
[22:28] ---
    you're staring at maggots
    swarming over a pile of... shit...
[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
[23:07] ---
    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
[24:04] ---
    Jim Macken.
[24:06] ---
    A grubby little boy with a dull name.
[24:10] ---
    With the blond ringlets so
    ill-matched to his lowly soul
[24:15] ---
    he drew to himself the name "Alois Trancy."
[24:18] ---
    Next time: "Divulging Butler."
[24:21] ---
    A Phantomhive butler who
    can't whisper a few words of love
[24:26] ---
    isn't worth his salt.
