[00:01] Sullivan
    O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!
[00:15] Sullivan
    Don't look so glum. I'm proud of these feet.
[00:20] Sullivan
    I'm happy to have completed
    one of my duties as Emerald Witch today.
[00:26] Wolfram
    Everyone is proud of you.
[00:32] Sullivan
    Oh, I know! I'll leave the forest
    and study lots of new things!
[00:37] Sullivan
    Then I can help the village—
[00:39] Wolfram
    You mustn't!
[00:41] Sullivan
    What?
[00:46] Sebastian
    We've arranged to give you
    what you want the most.
[00:49] Sebastian
    To see the outside world.
[00:51] Sebastian
    What do you think?
[00:53] Sullivan
    B-But the village laws say...
[00:56] Ciel
    Ah, I see.
[00:58] Ciel
    Danke, Freund. Tschüß.
[01:07] Sullivan
    I-I'll go with you.
[01:09] Sullivan
    I want to know more!
[01:12] Sebastian
    Well, Fräulein Sullivan?
[01:15] Sebastian
    The outside world is full of surprises,
     wouldn't you agree?
[01:20] Ciel
    The "werewolves" are really
    mere humans in costumes.
[01:24] Ciel
    And the "miasma" is really...
[01:26] Ciel
    ...a chemical weapon made
    in this factory. It's a toxic gas.
[01:30] Sullivan
    N-No...
[01:33] Crone
    Take pride! You have created
    the most powerful toxic gas in history!
[01:40] Crone
    And that's right. Such a breakthrough
    chemical weapon deserves a name.
[01:46] Crone
    "SuLIN." I shall name it "sulin" gas!
[02:01] Wolfram
    The emergency signal?
[02:03] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[03:04] Sign
    Black Butler
[03:06] Sign
    Emerald Witch Arc
[04:26] Sullivan
    What I spent all that time
    creating wasn't magic?
[04:33] Sullivan
    It was toxic gas?
[04:36] Sullivan
    I thought I was protecting the villagers.
[04:41] Sullivan
    But I was creating a weapon?
    Something whose only purpose is to kill?
[04:52] Sullivan
    Everyone has been deceiving me all this time?
[04:57] Sullivan
    Tell me that's not true, Elder!
[05:01] Crone
    Why are you crying, Sieglinde?
[05:07] Crone
    It's precisely because the fine mind
     you were born with
[05:10] Crone
    was given the optimal environment
    in which to immerse itself in research
[05:15] Crone
    that you were able to create
    the ultimate chemical weapon.
[05:20] Crone
    What is there to feel sad about?
     You've changed history.
[05:26] Crone
    You're the living incarnation
    of the dear one I lost that day.
[05:32] Sullivan
    What?
[05:34] Crone
    So dry your tears,
[05:37] Crone
    my beloved daughter.
[05:42] Sullivan
    Daughter?
[05:48] Crone
    You see, 13 years ago,
    I participated in a certain military project.
[05:56] Crone
    The project involved a gas so dangerous
[06:00] Crone
    that for 20 long years it was considered
    impossible to mass-produce.
[06:06] Crone
    Its objective was to utilize this "mustard gas,"
    as it is commonly called, to make weapons.
[06:14] (Flashback) Spectacled scientist
    This is...
[06:17] Crone
    Before long, a brilliant scientist
    created a safe method of synthesizing it.
[06:24] (Flashback) Spectacled scientist
    To our scientific success!
[06:26] (Flashback) Researchers
    Prost!
[06:30] (Flashback) Spectacled scientist
    Thank you.
[06:32] (Flashback) Crone minus 13 years
    I should be thanking you.
    It's an honour to work with you.
[06:37] Crone
    Everything was going so well.
[06:40] Crone
    But then...
[06:43] Crone
    One day, there was an accident
    at the gas manufacturing plant.
[06:52] Crone
    He passed away.
[06:59] (Flashback) Crone minus 13 years
    How is Herr Doktor?
[07:02] Crone
    And I became unrecognizable.
[07:10] Crone
    His mind was one of
    our nation's greatest treasures.
[07:13] (Flashback) Scientist A
    A great loss to our country.
[07:15] (Flashback) Scientist B
    The project will stagnate without him.
[07:18] Crone
    We were heartbroken.
[07:23] Crone
    But...
[07:27] Crone
    His genes took root inside me...
[07:35] Crone
    ...and began to grow anew.
[07:39] Crone
    The child's talent blossomed immediately.
[07:47] Crone
    She was a fluent reader by the age of three.
[07:54] (Flashback) Servant
    Ma'am, the young mistress...
[07:56] (Flashback) Crone minus 10 years
    What about her?
[08:04] Crone
    She understood how to
    synthesize mustard gas.
[08:08] (Flashback) Crone minus 10 years
    You did this?
[08:18] Crone
    In that moment, I knew. My beloved
    had returned. His mind had returned to me!
[08:27] Crone
    I negotiated with the government
    at once and launched a new project.
[08:33] Crone
    To wit...
[08:35] Crone
    A project to develop the ultimate
    weapon by cultivating a genius.
[08:41] Crone
    The necessary conditions
    for raising a scientific genius
[08:45] Crone
    were an environment conducive to immersion
     in study and sustained motivation.
[08:50] Crone
    First, we had to remove the noise that interferes
     with genius: ethics and common sense.
[08:56] Crone
    Also, amusements, merrymaking,
     and worldly pleasures.
[09:00] Crone
    To isolate her from all of these,
    we had to eliminate all traces of worldly life.
[09:06] Crone
    We created the village for that purpose.
[09:13] Crone
    And so that she would voluntarily
    remain in this environment,
[09:18] Crone
    we constructed an addictive Weltanschauung.
[09:27] Crone
    Someone special to be: the Emerald Witch.
[09:32] Crone
    A duty: to protect the villagers
     from werewolves.
[09:36] Crone
    And so, Wolfsschlucht,
    the "Wolf's Valley," came into being.
[09:43] Crone
    Yes, it's because you were here that
    you were able to devote yourself to study,
[09:48] Crone
    and develop a new weapon
     in less than ten years.
[09:52] Crone
    The project succeeded, Sieglinde!
[10:00] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[10:04] Wolfram
    How dare you?
[10:07] Sullivan
    You were deceiving me, too.
[10:13] Sullivan
    You liar!
[10:18] Ciel
    To make your weapon,
[10:20] Ciel
    you crushed your daughter's feet
    and threatened her with "duty."
[10:24] Ciel
    Is that how a parent should act?
[10:27] Ciel
    Children aren't their parents' tools.
[10:35] Crone
    Sieglinde!
[10:37] Wolfram
    Stop!
[10:38] Man with facial hair
    Don't! What if you hit a gas canister?
[10:41] Werewolves
    After them!
[10:42] Werewolves
    Cut off their exit!
[10:46] Ciel
    Sebastian, the rest is up to you.
[10:50] Sebastian
    Yes, my lord.
[10:57] Wolfram
    Young mistress...
[10:58] Hilde
    Wolf! What's the matter?
[11:00] Wolfram
    Hilde! The English have the young mistress!
[11:02] Hilde
    What?
[11:03] Wolfram
    And she found out about everything.
[11:07] Wolfram
    They should be in Area A23 now.
    I'm going after them!
[11:12] Hilde
    Lieutenant!
[11:15] Hilde
    First Lieutenant Wolfram Gelzer,
    I trust you haven't forgotten.
[11:21] Hilde
    The duty of the Emerald Witch's butler
[11:24] Hilde
    is to dispose of the Emerald Witch
    if an emergency necessitates it.
[11:30] Wolfram
    Ja!
[11:35] Mey-Rin
    It's gotten noisy, yes.
[11:38] Baldroy
    Won't be long, then.
[11:56] Diederich
    So it's begun.
[11:59] Baldroy
    That's the signal.
[12:00] Baldroy
    Our boss is calling.
[12:03] Mey-Rin; Finnian; and maybe Snake?
    Yes, sir!
[12:15] Ciel
    On the outside, all sorts of people
     will want to use you.
[12:20] Ciel
    One of them may make you suffer
    even more than you did today.
[12:28] Ciel
    So choose now.
[12:31] Ciel
    Do you still want to go
    to the outside world? Or...
[12:38] Ciel
    Would you rather rest in peace here and now?
[12:49] Sullivan
    It...
[12:51] Sullivan
    It frightens me that I created that thing.
[12:55] Sullivan
    I don't know what to believe in anymore.
[12:59] Sullivan
    I don't want to think anymore.
[13:03] Sullivan
    I just want to disappear.
[13:09] Ciel
    Fair enough.
[13:11] Ciel
    If you don't intend to use that brilliant mind,
[13:14] Ciel
    might as well fertilize the weeds with it.
[13:17] Ciel
    And if you die,
[13:20] Ciel
    you won't have to hear the screams
    of those you could have saved.
[13:27] Sullivan
    "Saved"?
[13:29] Ciel
    Since you created the ultimate poison
     trying to save your people,
[13:33] Ciel
    I thought you might be capable of
    also creating the ultimate medicine.
[13:37] Ciel
    That would seem magical enough
     to amaze the world.
[13:44] Sullivan
    A magical cure?
[13:49] Sullivan
    Do you think I could do that?
[13:54] Ciel
    Who knows? But it'll certainly
    be impossible if you die here.
[14:01] Ciel
    Emerald Witch, I shall ask you again:
[14:05] Ciel
    Will you escape into death,
    or live and take on the challenge?
[14:10] Sullivan
    I...
[14:12] Sullivan
    I want to live!
[14:14] Sullivan
    I want to live and take on the challenge!
[14:19] Ciel
    Very well.
[14:22] Ciel
    Let's leave the forest together, Sullivan.
[14:32] Ciel
    We need to leave here before they catch up.
    That star shell revealed our position.
[14:38] Ciel
    We'll rendezvous with my servants at once.
[14:41] Sullivan
    What about Sebastian? If they use
    the miasma... no, the mustard gas...
[14:46] Ciel
    Don't worry.
[14:49] Ciel
    My butler is very skilled.
[14:52] Man with facial hair
    Professorin Sullivan! It's too dangerous here!
[14:54] Crone
    Bring her back! Quickly!
[14:58] Werewolf A
    Damn the English. I can't believe
    they caught wind of us and sent a spy.
[15:03] Sebastian
    I am not a spy.
[15:07] Sebastian
    I am merely one hell of a butler.
[15:12] Werewolf A
    He disappeared?
[15:13] Werewolf A
    When did he get up there?
[15:15] Sebastian
    Goodness. Your protective gear
     is made of strong stuff.
[15:21] Sebastian
    Now I understand how you took an attack
    from our gardener and stayed on your feet.
[15:35] Sebastian
    Which means...
[15:39] Sebastian
    I should aim for the head.
[15:42] Werewolf A
    Damn it.
[15:43] Werewolf A
    Use the mustard gas.
[15:49] Werewolf A
    That'll bring him down easily.
[15:52] Werewolf A
    He has no protective clothing,
    or even a mask.
[15:56] Werewolf C
    What?!
[15:58] Werewolf D
    A mask... A mask... Give me a mask!
[16:05] Sebastian
    "Mustard gas" is quite the apt name.
[16:09] Sebastian
    I knew this scent reminded me of something.
[16:13] Sebastian
    It's mustard, isn't it?
[16:19] Sebastian
    My young master refuses to eat mustard,
    so I couldn't place it at first.
[16:24] Werewolf A
    Why? Why won't he die?
[16:26] Werewolf A
    Has England trained up
    gas-resistant soldiers or something?
[16:33] Werewolf
    My throat!
[16:41] Sebastian
    A Phantomhive butler who can't withstand
    a little toxic gas isn't worth his salt.
[16:54] Sebastian
    Now, then...
[17:04] Crone
    You take the sample upstairs.
[17:06] Man with facial hair
    Right!
[17:08] Crone
    The formation instructions.
    These are all I need to mass-produce—
[17:14] Sebastian
    Some people preach illogical things
     like love and affection,
[17:19] Sebastian
    while others are able to sacrifice
    their families as rationally as can be.
[17:27] Sebastian
    Humans are truly fascinating creatures.
[17:35] Crone
    The gas alarm? Why?
[17:41] Crone
    I-It smells like... mustard...
[17:46] Sebastian
    You love gas, don't you? Enough to offer up
     your precious daughter's whole life.
[17:55] Sebastian
    This is a token of my thanks
    for exposing my young master to it.
[18:01] Sebastian
    It's been a while since you smelt the scent of
    death your beloved created. How do you like it?
[18:18] Sebastian
    Dearie me.
[18:27] (Flashback) Ciel
    Sebastian, you're to destroy any and all
    instructions for the weapon Sullivan made.
[18:36] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Very good.
[18:38] (Flashback) Sebastian
    How would you like it done?
[18:40] (Flashback) Ciel
    Your choice.
[18:41] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Oh, my. Are you sure?
[18:45] (Flashback) Ciel
    I won't be there, and there
    won't be any human survivors.
[18:50] (Flashback) Ciel
    Let your beastly instincts run free.
[18:56] Sebastian
    Ah, my lord...
[19:00] Sebastian
    I fear you have the wrong idea.
[19:07] Sebastian
    What gives me the most amusement
    now is my game with you,
[19:11] Sebastian
    constrained by your "butler" requirement.
[19:15] Sebastian
    Not following my every impulse
    and acting like a beast.
[19:29] Sebastian
    However, if you prefer me "beastly,"
    I'll act the part for you.
[19:38] Sebastian
    I am merely one hell of a butler, after all.
[19:47] Baldroy
    Oi, you'd better be taking us
     in the right direction!
[19:50] Snake
    "I can smell Smile from this direction."
     ...says Goethe.
[19:55] Mey-Rin
    I see them, yes.
[19:58] Baldroy
    Young master!
[19:59] Ciel
    Here they are.
[20:03] Baldroy
    All right?
[20:05] Ciel
    Yes.
[20:08] Ciel
    Now, let's split into two groups as planned.
[20:13] Ciel
    Time to begin our evacuation.
[20:21] Alert voice
    Fire alert! Fire alert! A fire has
    broken out in manufacturing facility, B4!
[20:24] Servant girl
    The elevators are damaged.
    The firefighting unit can't use them to go down.
[20:27] Hilde
    Never mind that. What about the new gas?
[20:29] Servant girl
    We may have lost the instructions in the fire.
[20:31] Servant girl
    They're reporting the Englishman
    absconded with the sample phial.
[20:35] Hilde
    Curses. What the devil happened?
[20:38] Wolfram
    Hilde.
[20:39] Wolfram
    Or rather, Major Hilde Dickhaut.
[20:44] Wolfram
    If the instructions are lost, then capturing
     the Emerald Witch is top priority.
[20:49] Wolfram
    Shouldn't the mustard gas
     spraying be aborted?
[20:54] Hilde
    I suppose we have no choice.
[20:57] Anne
    Major!
[20:59] Anne
    Anne Drewanz, Kommandant,
    1st Special Commando Unit.
[21:02] Grete
    Grete Hilbard, Kommandant,
    2nd Special Commando Unit.
[21:05] Grete
    Ready to sortie.
[21:08] Anne
    We've identified where
     the star shell was fired.
[21:10] Anne
    We're also prepared to operate
    the new prototype weapon.
[21:14] Hilde
    Well done.
[21:15] Wolfram
    Prototype? Don't tell me you mean to use that?
[21:19] Hilde
    Yes. Our primary objective
    is to recover the Emerald Witch.
[21:24] Hilde
    But if she sets foot outside the forest...
[21:29] Hilde
    Kill her!
[21:30] Anne; Grete; Wolfram
    Ja!
