[00:07] ---
    Resort, resort, we're so happy!
[00:11] ---
    Resort, resort, we're so happy!
[00:15] ---
    Isn't this wonderful, Mey-Rin? I'm so moved!
[00:18] ---
    Yes, yes!
[00:19] ---
    I can't believe he's taking us with
    him to the Queen's health resort!
[00:23] ---
    I guess even the young
    master has his good points!
[00:27] ---
    Yeah!
[00:28] ---
    They are fortunate people.
[00:31] ---
    It appears they're grateful to you,
    my kind young master.
[00:35] ---
    I don't want to leave
    them behind by themselves
[00:37] ---
    and come back to find the manor destroyed.
[00:39] ---
    Indeed.
[00:43] ---
    This would seem to be the
    entrance to the village.
[00:55] ---
    I forgot to tell you one thing:
[00:57] ---
    this is the planned construction
    site
for the resort.
[01:01] ---
    Young master...
[01:13] ---
    "Black Butler"
[01:19] ---
    There is no color to our meeting;
    it blows through in monochrome

[01:26] ---
    I go where your cool fingers beckon me
[01:31] ---
    I am like troublesome ice after the melt
[01:38] ---
    You gently scoop me up to your
    mouth and play with my upper lip

[01:46] ---
    Still, I search for a form of love
[01:52] ---
    The dry eyes that shape the
    present rather than a distant time

[01:58] ---
    Want to end like this, cloaked
[02:04] ---
    But the night ignores that
    wish and brings morning

[02:11] ---
    With your gentle,
    passionate, and dastardly kiss

[02:18] ---
     Paint this final night
[02:21] ---
    The moon illuminates us
[02:36] ---
    "His Butler, Merrymaking"
[02:41] ---
    A trip, in this season?
[02:44] ---
    Sebastian, are you familiar with the
    leisure activity known as bear-baiting?
SIGN    "Charlotte"
[02:49] ---
    The word seems entertaining
    and quite attractive to me,
[02:54] ---
    but I'm afraid not.
[02:56] ---
    They tied a bear to a
    fence with a rope or cord,
[02:59] ---
    and fighting dogs surrounded it,
    bit at it, and killed it.
[03:04] ---
    My, that sounds very human-like.
[03:08] ---
    It was banned by the Cruelty
    to Animals Act of 1835,
[03:12] ---
    but there was a loophole:
    the law didn't apply to the attack dogs.
[03:17] ---
    What do you think happened then?
[03:20] ---
    I imagine they began having
    the dogs attack their own kind.
[03:22] ---
    Perhaps you would call it "dog-baiting"?
[03:25] ---
    There's a village doing
    just that: Houndsworth.
[03:28] ---
    The place was originally
    famous for rearing hunting dogs,
[03:32] ---
    but behind closed doors, they...
[03:46] ---
    She is heartsick.
[03:49] ---
    We'll secure that village under the
    pretext of making it a health resort.
[03:52] ---
    That's the goal of this journey.
[03:55] ---
    A village full of dogs, eh?
[03:57] ---
    What is it?
[03:58] ---
    Merely that securing a construction site
[04:00] ---
    seems like a quite trifling job
    for you to be concerned with.
[04:04] ---
    There is a reason.
[04:07] ---
    A reason why I, why the house of Phantomhive,
[04:12] ---
    must go to Houndsworth in person.
[04:31] ---
    Hey, I found the first villager!
[04:34] ---
    Stop the carriage, Tanaka!
[04:40] ---
    I'll help you out there, Granny!
[04:42] ---
    N-No, Finny! If you're not
    careful, the baby will--
[04:47] ---
    What?
[04:49] ---
    I-I'm so sorry!
[04:52] ---
    Is the baby all right?!
[04:58] ---
    This child was eaten by it.

[06:04] ---
    Oh, good boy! Good boy!
[06:07] ---
    Wow, I'd like him to pet me, yes!
[06:11] ---
    He warps its will with rewards and
    punishments, and forces obedience.
[06:16] ---
    A fine sight!
[06:18] ---
    But the dog is not blameless.
[06:20] ---
    It fawns on humans, and welcomes
    the chain around its neck.
[06:25] ---
    Really, it's quite hard to understand.
[06:27] ---
    If you have something to say, just say it.
[06:30] ---
    Thank you, my lord.
[06:33] ---
    I love cats, but I'm not fond of dogs.
[06:37] ---
    Or rather...
[06:39] ---
    To be frank, I hate them.
[06:43] ---
    Woof.
[07:02] ---
    The Earl Phantomhive, I presume?
[07:04] ---
    Yes.
[07:05] ---
    Welcome to Barrymore Castle.
[07:08] ---
    My master awaits your arrival.
[07:14] ---
    Sh-She's beautiful, yes!
[07:24] ---
    This way.
[07:35] ---
    Who the devil is this Chihuahua?!
[07:37] ---
    I told you to go receive
    the Queen's messenger!
[07:41] ---
    "Chihuahua"...?
[07:42] ---
    Can't you even do a simple
    thing like that, Angela?!
[07:49] ---
    Sebastian.
[07:52] ---
    What are you doing, you filthy Doberman?!
[07:54] ---
    Trying to bite my head
    off, are you?! Let me go!
[07:57] ---
    I ordered him to do it.
[07:59] ---
    What?!
[08:00] ---
    It sounds as though you got my letter.
[08:03] ---
    I'm Ciel Phantomhive.
[08:07] ---
    You mean to tell me a little toy poodle
    like you is Her Majesty's messenger?!
[08:11] ---
    You disapprove of small breeds, Lord Henry?
[08:20] ---
    Finny, quit starin' into space!
[08:22] ---
    Hurry up and carry luggage! Get a move on!
[08:32] ---
    I'll take care of this.
[08:38] ---
    It's not worth discussing.
[08:39] ---
    No matter what the terms,
    I can't sell this place.
[08:43] ---
    Let me hear your reason.
[08:46] ---
    The curse.
[08:48] ---
    Curse?
[08:49] ---
    This village has lived alongside
    its dogs since ancient times.
[08:53] ---
    Those who interfere with it are cursed.
[08:56] ---
    By a fearsome scourge...
[08:59] ---
    Even Her Majesty cannot change that.
[09:02] ---
    Great calamity befalls anyone
[09:06] ---
    who goes against the Barrymore family!
[09:09] ---
    Oh, interesting.
[09:11] ---
    What?!
[09:13] ---
    Let's have a nice, close
    look at this "calamity."
[09:22] ---
    Wow, so you're the only maid at this estate?
[09:26] ---
    That's amazing! You impress me, Angela, yes!
[09:30] ---
    Nonsense. I'm utterly unsatisfactory...
[09:35] ---
    Let us know if there's anythin'
    we can help you with.
[09:37] ---
    We servants gotta get along. Right, Finny?
[09:41] ---
    Yes, of course!
[09:43] ---
    You're all so kind.
[09:49] ---
    Please excuse me. My master is calling.
[10:07] ---
    She said I was kind!
[10:14] ---
    Hey, Finny, what are you waitin' for?!
[10:16] ---
    Sorry!
[10:25] ---
    Angela... Angela...
[10:29] ---
    The Queen wants my village!
[10:31] ---
    You understand, don't you?
[10:34] ---
    I'll protect this village!
[10:37] ---
    Angela, my angel...
[10:41] ---
    My angel...
[10:45] ---
    The maid saw! She saw what
    should not have been seen, yes!
[10:53] ---
    Come in.
[10:55] ---
    I apologize for the lateness of the hour.
[10:57] ---
    My young master is about to retire.
[11:02] ---
    I have a request. Please, leave this village.
[11:07] ---
    You mustn't be here.
[11:09] ---
    Why not?
[11:10] ---
    I can't...
[11:17] ---
    Oh, no! The demon hound is here!
[11:20] ---
    Demon hound?
[11:26] ---
    Sebastian!
[11:31] ---
    What was that?
[11:33] ---
    Young master, look.
[11:39] ---
    It's the great demon hound!
[11:41] ---
    The great demon hound is here!
[11:42] ---
    Who is it? Who's the bad dog?!
[11:50] ---
    Young master!
[11:50] ---
    Angela!
[11:52] ---
    What the devil's the fuss about?
[11:55] ---
    The demon hound has appeared.
[11:56] ---
    Demon hound?
[11:58] ---
    It brings calamity upon the village.
[12:00] ---
    Those who defy my master are
    punished by the demon hound.
[12:05] ---
    That is the law of this village.
[12:09] ---
    Angela,
[12:11] ---
    please tell Lord Barrymore
    that the demon hound has come.
[12:16] ---
    Who's been punished?
[12:25] ---
    That's awful.
[12:30] ---
    I see.
[12:30] ---
    Don't touch!
[12:34] ---
    So James was the bad dog?
[12:36] ---
    Yes. Apparently he broke the five-dog rule
[12:40] ---
    and kept a sixth dog.
[12:42] ---
    I see. Then this was inevitable.
[12:46] ---
    Hey! How can you say that?!
[12:48] ---
    This village has laws I have decreed.
[12:51] ---
    Those who break them
[12:53] ---
    are punished by the demon hound
    who protects the Barrymores!

[13:30] ---
    Young master.
[13:48] ---
    What a horrible trip.
[13:51] ---
    Yes, yes.
[13:52] ---
    What's the matter?
[13:54] ---
    You were so enthusiastic on the drive here.
[13:57] ---
    Yeah, well...
[13:59] ---
    Have you forgotten? We came to a resort.
[14:10] ---
    Wow, who'd've guessed it was so comfortable?
[14:14] ---
    The water's not even cold!
[14:16] ---
    You come out here too, Mey-Rin!
[14:19] ---
    I can't, it's just too embarrassing, yes!
[14:22] ---
    Chances like this don't come every day!
    Hurry up and get in!
[14:36] ---
    I-I'm so embarrassed, yes.
[14:40] ---
    You look great, Mey-Rin!
[14:42] ---
    Really?!
[14:44] ---
    I bet you'd look even better
    without your glasses.
[14:46] ---
    N-No, no!
[14:52] ---
    You won't bathe, young master?
[14:56] ---
    Ah, that's right. You--
[14:59] ---
    Just being able to bathe in this season
[15:02] ---
    isn't much of a selling
    point for a health resort.
[15:05] ---
    Do you truly intend to
    make this place a resort?
[15:08] ---
    Naturally.
[15:09] ---
    What about the demon hound?
[15:12] ---
    I'm sure you've caught on
    to its true form as well.
[15:18] ---
    Come here a moment.
[15:22] ---
    Angela!
[15:27] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[15:29] ---
    I shall do it right away.
[15:31] ---
    You're awfully motivated.
    I thought you hated dogs?
[15:35] ---
    Yes, I do.
[15:37] ---
    So I'd like to wrap this up
    as quickly as possible.
[15:41] ---
    Before everything goes to hell.
[15:48] ---
    Have some, Angela.
[15:50] ---
    Are you sure it's all right for me to share?
[15:53] ---
    Of course! And Sebastian's
    packed lunches are delicious, yes!
[15:57] ---
    He's been caught! The bad dog's been caught!
[16:00] ---
    It's James's dog! The
    punishment's about to begin!
[16:11] ---
    He's got something in his mouth.
[16:13] ---
    Make him spit it out!
[16:14] ---
    Let go, you bad dog!
[16:18] ---
    Let go! Let go!
[16:21] ---
    What a stubborn dog. Definitely a bad dog.
[16:24] ---
    Begin!
[16:48] ---
    Stop...
[16:50] ---
    You can't do this...
[16:53] ---
    The poor thing!
[16:59] ---
    Stop it!
[17:07] ---
    Finny!
[17:12] ---
    They got in the way.
[17:13] ---
    They interrupted our holy punishment.
[17:15] ---
    They're more bad dogs!
[17:17] ---
    They're bad dogs!
[17:19] ---
    Punish the bad dogs! Punish the bad dogs!
[17:26] ---
    You look pathetic, Maltese.
[17:29] ---
    Master, I beg you, please
    forgive these people!
[17:34] ---
    True, this Pomeranian is
    the Queen's messenger.
[17:39] ---
    Depending on what he says,
    perhaps I'll let him go.
[17:43] ---
    Pull out of this village
[17:45] ---
    and advise Her Majesty
    never to touch it again!
[17:49] ---
    You'd go that far to protect
    your tiny little kingdom?
[17:54] ---
    You're the very dictionary
    definition of "obsession."
[17:58] ---
    Then learn for yourself what
    happens to bad dogs who defy me!
[18:03] ---
    Sick him!
[18:16] ---
    You're late.
[18:17] ---
    My apologies, my lord.
[18:21] ---
    You dare to interfere, Garm?
[18:23] ---
    What are you waiting for?! Kill that one too!
[18:28] ---
    Oh, what noisy, coarse voices.
[18:32] ---
    This is why I hate dogs.
[18:40] ---
    Wh-What happened...?
[18:42] ---
    The farce ends here, Barrymore!
[18:45] ---
    People of the village, listen to me!
    There is no demon hound.
[18:49] ---
    There's only that pathetic
    old man obsessed with power!
[18:54] ---
    Wh-What do you base that on?
[18:56] ---
    This.
[18:58] ---
    It was in the basement of your manor.
[19:01] ---
    I've already confirmed that the
    teeth match the marks on James.
[19:08] ---
    Behold.
[19:10] ---
    This is the demon hound's true form.
[19:14] ---
    His shadow is nothing but a projection.
[19:17] ---
    It's just a transparent trick.
[19:20] ---
    The glowing is phosphor.
[19:22] ---
    He merely sprinkled it on a normal dog.
[19:26] ---
    The demon dog is an illusion
    produced by a single person.
[19:30] ---
    And that person is you, Henry Barrymore!
[19:36] ---
    N-Nonsense! Where's the proof?
[19:44] ---
    Give it to me. Your duty is done.
[19:52] ---
    It's fine cloth.
[19:54] ---
    This is the reason he hung on to it
[19:59] ---
    to the last.
[20:02] ---
    Th-That's...
[20:04] ---
    Yes. It's a scrap of your trousers,
[20:07] ---
    from when he bit your leg
    trying to protect James.
[20:15] ---
    So you killed James?
[20:17] ---
    There was no demon hound?!
[20:19] ---
    You tricked us!
[20:21] ---
    Give it up! You're finished!
[20:25] ---
    --You killed James! You killed James!
[20:28] ---
    --P-Please, stop!
[20:40] ---
    Phew, I'm exhausted!
[20:44] ---
    You're an amazing dog.
[20:46] ---
    To think you tried to protect
    your master to the end...
[20:57] ---
    You worked so hard. You worked so hard.
[21:05] ---
    This is why I hate dogs.
[21:20] ---
    Case closed, eh?
[21:23] ---
    Let's leave the village
    when the rain lets up.
[21:27] ---
    Yes, my lord.
[21:33] ---
    Angela...
[21:42] ---
    Let me out!
[21:44] ---
    Let me out! Please, let me out!
[21:48] ---
    It's coming... It's coming...
[21:50] ---
    The demon hound is coming to kill me!
[21:53] ---
    I'm begging you! Please...
[21:57] ---
    Please let me out!
[22:06] ---
    What's goin' on?!
[22:09] ---
    What is it, Mey-Rin?
[24:04] ---
    The howl of a cursed hound
    echoes through the desolate village.

[24:08] ---
    Oh, the infernal beastly
    smell is clinging to you.

[24:12] ---
    Young master, if we're quite
    through here, it's time for a bath.

[24:17] ---
    Soak your whole body properly in
    the tub, and count to one hundred.

[24:21] ---
    One, two, three...
[24:25] ---
    Next time on Black Butler:
    "His Butler, Training."

[24:26] ---
    "Next Time" "His Butler, Training"
[24:29] ---
    You see, I am merely one hell of a butler.
