**[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*.

**[06:00] ---**
Sit.
**[06:02] ---**
Lie down.
**[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!

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.*
