[00:01] Sullivan
    I am Sieglinde Sullivan,
    the ruler of this forest.
[00:06] Wolfram
    Where the hell're you from?
[00:09] Sullivan
    Stop that, Wolfram.
[00:11] Wolfram
    Ow, ow, ow!
[00:11] Sullivan
    I apologize. We haven't had
    visitors from outside in some time.
[00:15] Sullivan
    I've never left this village in my life,
[00:19] Sullivan
    and I don't think I ever will.
[00:22] Sullivan
    I'd like you to tell me about the outside world.
    About the world I don't know.
[00:30] Ciel
    Before... sorry. Let's be friends.
[00:35] Sullivan
    First, teach me your country's language.
[00:38] Sebastian
    It's a collection of English home remedies.
[00:42] Sullivan
    What?
[00:46] Sullivan
    I didn't think it would be ready so soon!
[00:48] Sebastian
    Wait, my lady.
[00:50] Sebastian
    Silverware is arranged from
    outside to inside in order of usage.
[00:54] Sebastian
    It is always better to have more knowledge.
[00:59] Sullivan
    Knowledge?
[01:01] Sullivan
    That's a good point!
[01:04] Sullivan
    Th-These wounds are...
[01:06] Villager A
    I think Herr Werwolf is angry because
    outsiders are here. And men, at that.
[01:12] Anne
    More people will be hurt if this goes on!
[01:15] Anne
    Please, Fräulein Sullivan,
     protect our village!
[01:19] Crone
    Why do you hesitate, Emerald Witch?
[01:22] Crone
    Focus on completing the Ultimate Spell
    before being so smitten with the outside world.
[01:30] Sullivan
    Very well.
[01:32] Sullivan
    I'll have them leave tomorrow.
[01:40] Wolfram
    I'm so sorry, young mistress.
[01:43] Wolfram
    I... I...
[01:46] Sullivan
    Wolf, don't cry.
[01:49] Sullivan
    I'll complete the Ultimate Spell
     and protect you all.
[02:11] Sullivan
    O werewolves, witness the Ultimate Spell!
[02:18] Sebastian
    Good evening, Fräulein Sullivan.
[02:21] Sebastian
    We've arranged to give you
     what you want the most.
[02:25] Sebastian
    You'll be able to gain knowledge and
    have experiences you could never have here.
[02:35] Sebastian
    I-I'll go with you.
[02:38] Sullivan
    I want to know more!
[02:42] Sebastian
    Your hand, please.
[02:46] Sebastian
    We'll escort you into the unknown.
[02:51] Werewolf 1
    The Emerald Witch.
[02:52] Werewolf 2
    It's the Emerald Witch.
[02:54] Werewolves
    Secure her!
[02:57] Werewolf 3
    Are you all right?!
[02:58] Werewolf 4
    Get her a suit, quickly!
[02:59] Sullivan
    What in the world...
[03:01] Ciel
    Quite the elaborate farce.
[03:03] Ciel
    The "werewolves" are really
    mere humans in costumes.
[03:07] Ciel
    And the "miasma" is really...
[03:10] Ciel
    ...a chemical weapon made
    in this factory. It's a toxic gas.
[03:14] Crone
    Take pride! You have created
     the most powerful toxic gas in history!
[03:21] Sullivan
    I thought I was protecting the villagers.
[03:24] Sullivan
    But I was creating a weapon?
    Something whose only purpose is to kill?
[03:28] Sullivan
    Tell me that's not true, Elder!
[03:32] Crone
    Why are you crying, Sieglinde?
[03:36] Crone
    It's precisely because the fine mind
     you were born with
[03:38] Crone
    was given the optimal environment
    in which to immerse itself in research
[03:43] Crone
    that you were able to create
    the ultimate chemical weapon.
[03:47] Crone
    So dry your tears,
[03:50] Crone
    my beloved daughter.
[03:53] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[03:54] Sullivan
    You were deceiving me, too.
[03:59] Sullivan
    You liar!
[04:06] Sullivan
    It frightens me that I created that thing.
[04:13] Sullivan
    I don't know what to believe in anymore.
[04:16] Sullivan
    I don't want to think anymore.
[04:19] Sullivan
    I just want to disappear.
[04:23] Ciel
    Since you created the ultimate poison
     trying to save your people,
[04:28] Ciel
    I thought you might be capable of
    also creating the ultimate medicine.
[04:32] Ciel
    That would seem magical enough
     to amaze the world.
[04:38] Sullivan
    A magical cure?
[04:43] Ciel
    Let's leave the forest together, Sullivan.
[05:02] Sebastian
    What gives me the most amusement
    now is my game with you,
[05:06] Sebastian
    constrained by your "butler" requirement.
[05:11] Sebastian
    Not following my every impulse
    and acting like a beast.
[05:16] Sebastian
    However, if you prefer me "beastly,"
    I'll act the part for you.
[05:23] Sebastian
    I am merely one hell of a butler, after all.
[06:18] Sign
    Black Butler
[06:20] Sign
    Emerald Witch Arc
[07:45] Wolfram
    They've split up, eh?
[07:56] Wolfram
    So the young mistress went right.
[07:58] Grete
    Securing the Emerald Witch
     is our top priority!
[08:01] Grete
    Main force, take the right-hand path.
[08:03] Grete
    My unit will take the other one.
[08:06] Soldiers
    Ja!
[08:16] Snake
    "I hear footsteps!
    They're catching up!" ...says Oscar.
[08:20] Baldroy
    Scary good hearing!
    Snakes must have great ears, huh?
[08:25] Snake
    "Not ears. We pick up vibrations
     through our skin." ...says Wordsworth.
[08:33] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[08:35] Baldroy
    Here they come! Make 'em dance.
[08:49] Baldroy
    I had some real bad experiences
    with snakes in Arizona,
[08:52] Baldroy
    but they're damn cool
    when they're your allies!
[08:55] Snake
    "Don't invade a girl's territory if you don't
     want to get bitten!" ...says Emily.
[09:02] Wolfram
    Halt!
[09:04] Baldroy
    I still don't speak German!
[09:12] Baldroy
    I'll buy a little time here. You go on ahead.
[09:22] Baldroy
    Don't drop the young mistress.
[09:25] Snake
    "Right!" ...says Oscar.
[09:30] Baldroy
    Now, let's try this baby out.
[09:35] Wolfram
    They've got a good soldier.
[09:41] Soldier A
    A jam tin?
[09:47] Wolfram
    Get down!
[09:47] Soldiers
    Huh?
[09:57] Soldier C
    Kommandant Hilbard, wasn't it a risk
    to leave that whole unit with the butler?
[10:03] Grete
    You think he's just an ordinary butler?
[10:06] Grete
    When you're hiring a butler
    for the Emerald Witch,
[10:09] Grete
    it's not about service skills.
[10:18] Grete
    It's about exceptional battle skills.
[10:36] Wolfram
    Curse him.
[10:42] Baldroy
    He's fast! And what's with his footwork?
[10:44] Baldroy
    It's like a wild animal's.
[10:53] Baldroy
    Get back here, you bastard!
[10:59] Baldroy
    Tch.
[11:01] Baldroy
    Snake! One got by me!
[11:20] Wolfram
    Young mistress!
[11:27] Ciel
    Excellent work.
[11:30] Ciel
    Here's your tip.
[11:41] Finnian
    Keep your head down, please!
    We haven't reached safety.
[11:45] Sullivan
    R-Right.
[11:47] Soldier D
    The target is holding a child,
    and it's slowing him down!
[11:49] Soldier D
    Aim carefully!
[11:57] (Flashback) Ciel
    Our highest priority is to get
     Sullivan out of the forest.
[12:02] (Flashback) Ciel
    That's why you will take her, Finny.
[12:06] (Flashback) Finnian
    Me?
[12:07] (Flashback) Ciel
    That's right. Live up to your name
     and outrun them all.
[12:16] Finnian
    "Finnian" is my name.
[12:19] Finnian
    The young master gave it
    to me that day. It's special.
[12:41] (Flashback) Ciel
    I'll give you a name.
[12:45] (Flashback) Finnian
    A name?
[12:49] (Flashback) Ciel
    Well, you can't very well go by
    "Subject 12" forever, can you?
[12:55] (Flashback) Ciel
    You have fine blond hair.
[13:02] (Flashback) Ciel
    In a certain old tongue,
    the word for "fair-haired" was "finn."
[13:07] (Flashback) Ciel
    The protagonist of these stories is named Finn,
     referring to his handsome blond hair.
[13:14] (Flashback) Ciel
    A fair-haired boy who could outrun
    a wild hare in the forest and outfight a stag.
[13:23] (Flashback) Ciel
    Doesn't he sound a lot like you?
[13:29] (Flashback) Ciel
    So how about "Finnian"?
[13:35] (Flashback) Finnian
    Finnian?
[13:40] (Flashback) Sebastian
    It's a bit la-di-da, but I think it's fine.
[13:44] (Flashback) Sebastian
    It's much better than a dog's name, at least.
[13:51] (Flashback) Ciel
    You may have this book.
[13:55] (Flashback) Ciel
    Learn your letters quickly
    so you can read it. Understood, Finnian?
[14:11] (Flashback) Finnian
    Yes!
[14:13] (Flashback) Sebastian
    Why, I've never seen such
    a human expression on your face.
[14:19] (Flashback) Sebastian
    However, you still have to learn
    to speak more like a servant,
[14:25] (Flashback) Sebastian
    and to rein in your strength
    so it is at a more human level.
[14:31] Finnian
    That day, I turned from
    a weapon into a gardener.
[14:35] Finnian
    But if my young master
    needs the weapon's might...
[14:41] Finnian
    Fräulein Sullivan.
[14:44] Finnian
    It'll get a bit bumpy. Please keep your
    mouth closed so you don't bite your tongue.
[14:56] Solider F
    H-How'd he just take off like that?
[15:02] Finnian
    I'll get through this forest
    faster than a wild hare.
[15:05] Finnian
    Faster than a bullet. Faster than anyone.
[15:09] Finnian
    Because I...
[15:18] Finnian
    ...am Finnian!
[15:30] Soldier G
    H-He jumped?
[15:35] Soldier H
    The river below is shallow.
    A jump from this height spells death—
[15:42] Finnian
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[15:45] Finnian
    My feet sting!
[15:50] Soldier G
    Wh-What?
[15:53] Soldier F
    Well, I can get them
    while they're standing still.
[16:02] Soldier I
    Where the hell are we taking fire from?
[16:05] Soldier J
    R-Retreat! Retreat!
[16:21] Mey-Rin
    Something just moved.
[16:24] Grete
    I made the right call
    circling around via another route.
[16:28] Grete
    The men were as useless as ever.
[16:31] Grete
    But I, Grete Hilbard, will stop them here.
[16:35] Mey-Rin
    Finny!
[16:58] Grete
    Did he just slice my bullet in half?
[17:01] Tanaka
    Finny, continue on your way.
[17:04] Tanaka
    This old man shall take over here.
[17:09] Tanaka
    Whatever his master orders, a true
    Phantomhive servant can and shall carry it out.
[17:23] Sebastian
    I believe that should do it.
[17:27] Sebastian
    Oh, gosh. Would you look at the time?
[17:31] Sebastian
    I'll be late for breakfast if I don't hurry.
[17:56] Sebastian
    What's that noise?
[18:20] Ciel
    He dodged? At such close range?
[18:33] Wolfram
    You people...
[18:36] Wolfram
    If you people hadn't come...
[18:43] Wolfram
    the young mistress wouldn't...
[18:48] Snake
    Smile!
[18:51] Baldroy
    Young master!
[18:54] Baldroy
    Crap. I won't make it in time.
[19:09] Diederich
    Care to explain what this is all about?
[19:13] Diederich
    Nobody told me there was a daughter.
[19:19] Ciel
    You...
[19:35] (Flashback) Diederich
    Oi, you. Phantomhive's son.
     Quit being so jumpy.
[19:41] (Flashback) Diederich
    I don't bite, you know.
[19:46] (Flashback) Victor
    You always seem angry.
    That's why he's afraid of you.
[19:51] (Flashback) Diederich
    I am not angry!
[19:55] (Flashback) Victor
    I know.
[19:56] (Flashback) Victor
    And I also know you're actually
    a kind, dependable, good person.
[20:02] (Flashback) Diederich
    Where did that come from?
    It was quite unnerving.
[20:08] (Flashback) Victor
    And that's why I'm sure that
    if anything happens to me,
[20:14] (Flashback) Victor
    he'll help you two.
[20:21] (Flashback) Victor
    Won't you?
[20:27] (Flashback) Diederich
    Is that an order?
[20:30] (Flashback) Victor
    More of a request, I suppose.
[20:34] (Flashback) Diederich
    You're too much of
    a pain in the arse to die before me.
[20:39] (Flashback) Victor
    Still, one never knows.
[20:44] (Flashback) Victor
    I don't think even God knows
    what will happen to us and when.
[20:51] (Flashback) Victor
    So...
[20:54] (Flashback) Victor
    If push comes to shove, I'm counting on you.
[21:00] Diederich
    I can't believe I still have
    to clean up his messes at my age.
[21:06] Diederich
    I thought I'd finally been freed.
[21:10] Ciel
    You're the same as ever, Diederich.
[21:16] Ciel
    Though you do look quite different.
[21:21] Diederich
    Just whose fault is that?
[21:24] Diederich
    And another thing...
[21:26] Diederich
    Don't call me by my first name.
[21:29] Diederich
    I'm not your drudge!
