[00:10] ---
My fellows of the deep, beloved darkness...
[00:14] ---
Here, I have...
[00:21] ---
...Alois Trancy's soul.
[00:26] ---
And what am I doing with it?
[00:32] ---
Close!
[00:36] ---
Wide of the mark.
[00:41] ---
Hannah.
[00:43] ---
The décor has changed.
[00:50] ---
Right on the mark!
[00:54] ---
I've changed the manor's navy
color scheme to midnight blue.
[00:59] ---
A subtle difference that
only a select few will notice.
[01:07] ---
Though their souls may
be fundamentally different,
[01:10] ---
they have one thing in common:
the pasts that color them.
[01:16] ---
And that...
[01:18] ---
...is useful.
[01:24] ---
I see, so that's their move.
[01:35] ---
Can't you sleep, my lord?
[01:38] ---
Sebastian.
[01:40] ---
It's not that...
[01:42] ---
I suppose a killing doesn't
play out like one imagines.
[01:49] ---
I thought he'd die easily,
[01:52] ---
but it's quite difficult to kill like you,
[01:54] ---
without hesitation or honor.
[01:57] ---
I'll take that as a compliment.
[02:05] ---
I can't sleep. Tell me a story.
[02:07] ---
In that case...
[02:10] ---
I'll read you a message
from Her Majesty the Queen.
[02:18] ---
Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away
[02:26] ---
Our two hearts will never grow apart
[02:33] ---
"Black Butler II"
[02:41] ---
I run up to you from
behind asking questions
[02:44] ---
The reason I never wavered,
no matter what the future looked like
[02:51] ---
Was because I didn't want to
forget what I believed in anymore
[02:57] ---
My habit of averting my eyes, my
vague answers, and my not-funny lies--
[03:05] ---
If you're not by my side,
their very meaning blurs
[03:12] ---
Even if a never-ending
sorrow steals you away
[03:20] ---
Don't forget the days when we
couldn't imagine a true "goodbye"
[03:28] ---
Tell me that even if a
never-ending sorrow steals you away
[03:36] ---
Our two hearts will never grow apart
[03:46] ---
"Hollow Butler"
[04:03] ---
Recently there's been a spate
of eye-gouging in the London area.
[04:10] ---
Though the victims aren't all of the
same class, they are all young boys.
[04:15] ---
A perverse business.
[04:20] ---
You don't understand anything!
You're just being tricked by a demon!
[04:26] ---
You and I are the same!
[04:30] ---
What is it?
[04:33] ---
Nothing.
[04:40] ---
I dunno!
[04:42] ---
He just up an' stuck his
fingers into my eyes,
[04:45] ---
and everythin' went red.
[04:47] ---
Now I can't see nothin'. Nothin'...
[04:50] ---
What was the criminal like?
[04:52] ---
He was a kid.
[04:54] ---
About the same age as me,
but he looked plenty rich.
[04:58] ---
A kid?
[04:59] ---
That bloody bastard!
[05:05] ---
Sebastian.
[05:06] ---
Yes.
[05:14] ---
A demon has devoted time and effort
[05:17] ---
to building up that soul stitch by stitch.
[05:20] ---
If I'm to steal it, it's only
proper that I do so respectfully,
[05:25] ---
stitch by stitch.
[05:29] ---
We've obtained several
witness reports now.
[05:32] ---
They all point to a
boy dressed like a noble.
[05:37] ---
He mocks me.
[05:39] ---
My lord?
[05:41] ---
Look.
[05:43] ---
I'll draw a line between the
Phantomhive and Trancy estates.
[05:46] ---
Now, if I connect the
scenes of the crimes...
[05:50] ---
A spider web.
[05:52] ---
He's behind this.
[05:54] ---
It may be that his butler is
acting alone, young master.
[05:58] ---
So he survived? He's
persistent, I'll give him that.
[06:03] ---
Young master...
[06:04] ---
I see...
[06:07] ---
so he survived...
[06:12] ---
A butler answers his master's
questions reliably and truthfully.
[06:17] ---
Am I right?
[06:18] ---
Quite right.
[06:20] ---
You aren't hiding anything
from me about Alois, are you?
[06:25] ---
No, nothing about Alois.
[06:27] ---
Then my--
[06:31] ---
The spider butler?
[06:33] ---
No, this is...
[06:39] ---
Stay here, young master.
[06:42] ---
It smells.
[06:43] ---
Please bear with it for a bit.
[06:45] ---
You mustn't take one step out
of this box, do you understand?
[06:54] ---
Ah, yes... First they lure us
out with orders from the Queen,
[06:59] ---
and then for their
next chess move, they use
[07:01] ---
the ones sure to act whenever
there's a soul-related problem.
[07:11] ---
Grim Reapers.
[07:24] ---
Ugh!
[07:26] ---
Come on, give me a break...
[07:31] ---
It's totally busted...
[07:34] ---
I don't believe we've met.
[07:36] ---
Yeah, hi.
[07:39] ---
The next diehard grim
reaper is Ronald Knox!☆
[07:46] ---
Yeah, that's just so wrong.
[07:49] ---
Senior Sutcliff said
I needed a catch phrase,
[07:53] ---
so I had a girl from the General
Affairs department think one up...
[07:56] ---
Please don't worry about it.
[07:58] ---
Today that catch phrase
will end along with you.
[08:02] ---
I assume your bureau is acting
because of strange soul movements?
[08:08] ---
Perhaps the soul of a
deceased called Alois Trancy
[08:12] ---
has proven unrecoverable, for instance?
[08:14] ---
Indeed!
[08:18] ---
I might have known you'd be
involved, Sebastian Michaelis.
[08:29] ---
It's this feeling again.
[08:32] ---
I was trapped someplace
like this for a long time...
[08:37] ---
I know I've forgotten something.
[08:40] ---
But I can't remember it.
[08:43] ---
Alois and Sebastian
know what it is; I can feel it.
[08:49] ---
Only I've forgotten.
[08:54] ---
What is this?!
[09:10] ---
You and I are the same!
[09:12] ---
Sod off! I'm nothing like you, you vile--
[09:17] ---
You mustn't take one step out of this box.
[09:22] ---
Sod off...
[09:26] ---
Don't you order me around!
[09:31] ---
Kids should go play at home!
[09:33] ---
You're a kid too!
[09:35] ---
Yeah!
[09:37] ---
For crying out loud...
[09:38] ---
Thanks to Grell Sutcliff,
I have to work overtime again!
[09:43] ---
I was right; Alois Trancy is dead.
[09:46] ---
Which means his goal is...
[09:48] ---
The spider's thread twining
around a snow-white soul...
[09:53] ---
Chain it to form one row, a second row...
[09:56] ---
...and after the turn, a third.
[10:02] ---
Where are you, Sebastian? I'm coming too!
[10:04] ---
I'll see everything with my own eyes!
[10:08] ---
Alois...
[10:18] ---
Your mocking never ends.
[10:20] ---
Stop!
[10:24] ---
That's as far as you go, Alois Tran--
[10:26] ---
Found you, Alois Trancy!
[10:30] ---
Bloody nuisances...
[10:32] ---
You're from the Yard?
Go after him! He's getting aw--
[10:37] ---
Don't try to fight us, Alois Trancy!
[10:40] ---
You think I'm Alois?
Get it straight! He's right--
[10:46] ---
Take him in.
[10:47] ---
Let me go this instant!
[10:50] ---
Who are you people?!
[10:55] ---
You're from the Trancy estate...
[10:57] ---
You're quite sure?
[10:59] ---
Yes. This is my master. Alois, Earl Trancy.
[11:05] ---
What?!
[11:06] ---
He appears extremely confused...
[11:10] ---
My lord was repeatedly
abused by his late father.
[11:17] ---
I'm sorry to say that it affected his mind.
[11:22] ---
He hates the mark carved into
his eye by the previous Earl Trancy,
[11:27] ---
and when he sees a boy who resembles him,
[11:30] ---
that hatred manifests itself.
[11:33] ---
And it tells him, "Gouge. Gouge."
[11:41] ---
He took my eye as well.
[11:44] ---
How dare you!
[11:46] ---
His eye is the best proof.
[11:49] ---
Take off the patch.
[11:51] ---
Stop it!
[11:55] ---
Y-You're wrong... It's a
sign of Sebastian's and my...
[12:00] ---
My master is a victim as well.
[12:02] ---
I beg you'll show him mercy.
[12:05] ---
Take him in!
[12:07] ---
Stop this! Let me go!
[12:13] ---
Sebastian!
[12:21] ---
All right!
[12:24] ---
Now, let's get this over with!
You can bet I'm not working overtime.
[12:34] ---
Even I'm at a disadvantage
against two reapers.
[12:36] ---
Ronald Knox, do you intend to fell
me with your death scythe as well?
[12:42] ---
Oh, did I cross the line?
[12:44] ---
Sorry, I'm at that mischievous age.
[12:47] ---
A grim reaper must judge
situations swiftly and accurately.
[12:51] ---
Are those spectacles just for show?
[12:59] ---
Sir, he's getting away.
[13:00] ---
My spectacles...
[13:02] ---
My spectacles... my spectacles!
[13:05] ---
Shouldn't we stop him before he's gone?
[13:07] ---
Failure to understand the
importance of a reaper's spectacles
[13:11] ---
is grounds for a pay cut!
[13:15] ---
Er... I don't even know where to begin.
[13:21] ---
Done.
[13:23] ---
Ciel Phantomhive...
[13:26] ---
I'll pierce your soft skin with my hook...
[13:39] ---
...and suck out your
delectable soul at my leisure.
[14:03] ---
Why don't you start
by telling me your name?
[14:07] ---
Ciel Phantomhive.
[14:09] ---
Really, treating a noble like this?
Have you the proper permission?
[14:17] ---
The Queen! Contact the Queen!
[14:20] ---
Yes, or even Sir Arthur!
[14:22] ---
All I've said can be easily--
[14:27] ---
He's quite far gone.
[14:30] ---
Give him the special treatment.
[14:59] ---
Everything is receding...
[15:05] ---
Everything is...
[15:25] ---
I apologize for not sending
someone to fetch you, Sebastian.
[15:30] ---
No need. Your invitation
was easy enough to understand.
[15:34] ---
This is the exact center of the
web you laid with these attacks.
[15:46] ---
I am... Ciel... Phantomhive...
[15:52] ---
The Queen's...
[15:54] ---
the Queen's...
[15:56] ---
guard dog.
[15:58] ---
I lost my... father and mother...
[16:02] ---
How did you lose them?
[16:04] ---
The mansion... burned...
[16:06] ---
Yes. It burned.
[16:10] ---
The village you grew up in burned.
[16:12] ---
I ran down the corridor...
[16:15] ---
Yes. You ran down the path
on the outskirts of the village.
[16:31] ---
You ran, and then you found...
[16:35] ---
I found... my dead father and mother...
[16:40] ---
Yes. You found your dead brother.
[16:46] ---
Brother?
[16:48] ---
You found him. And then what?
[16:51] ---
The old men took me...
[16:55] ---
Yes. The old man took you and...
[17:06] ---
Humiliated me...
[17:09] ---
The Earl Trancy did.
[17:15] ---
Tran...
[17:19] ---
cy...
[17:24] ---
Yes.
[17:35] ---
The sheath that holds a demon's sword...
[17:44] ---
Why would someone so
powerful be obeying Claude?
[17:49] ---
Claude...
[17:56] ---
We have a contract.
Even if he's taken from me,
[18:00] ---
he is still my young master.
[18:02] ---
None of you can ever
so much as taste his soul.
[18:07] ---
Navy and... midnight blue...
[18:11] ---
Two very similar memories...
[18:15] ---
True, none of us can
so much as taste him.
[18:20] ---
Not while he's still
entirely your young master.
[18:25] ---
I made a contract with Sebastian.
[18:30] ---
Someone made a contract with Sebastian,
[18:34] ---
and he started a fire.
[18:36] ---
A fire...
[18:38] ---
Yes. Sebastian made a contract
with your younger brother Luka,
[18:43] ---
and burned your village to the ground.
[18:45] ---
Luka... village...?
[18:48] ---
Yes.
[18:49] ---
Sebastian Michaelis entered
into a contract with Luka,
[18:54] ---
and you lost your only living relative.
[19:02] ---
Relative...
[19:24] ---
Young master!
[19:32] ---
Young master...
[19:33] ---
Don't touch me!
[19:37] ---
Young master.
[19:41] ---
So you were the one
who killed my parents,
[19:45] ---
Sebastian Michaelis?!
[19:51] ---
I didn't predict you mixing their memories.
[19:55] ---
A ploy that would cloud the
soul's taste never occurred to me.
[20:01] ---
He's soaked through...
[20:03] ---
Did you dip him in a medicine to confuse him?
[20:09] ---
Should I answer that, Master?
[20:14] ---
No need.
[20:24] ---
I know.
[20:34] ---
This is an order: get out of my sight!
[20:46] ---
To a butler, the master's
orders are absolute.
[21:06] ---
Master.
[21:08] ---
I'm... tired...
[21:10] ---
Of course.
[21:11] ---
I want to sleep...
[21:19] ---
Yes, Your Highness.
[21:25] ---
I took a shamefully long
time to prepare dinner.
[21:31] ---
And now look what's happened.
[21:39] ---
Delaying dinner is
absolutely not allowed.
[21:42] ---
However, first...
[21:44] ---
As butler to the Phantomhives,
[21:48] ---
I must clear away the spider webs.
[21:51] ---
That's plain.
[22:00] ---
Asleep, you look so sad
[22:07] ---
You look as though
you're having bad dreams
[22:14] ---
How do I live without you?
[22:20] ---
Lock me up, and only me
[22:27] ---
Within the sky of yourself
[22:34] ---
I mourn that I can't go in search
[22:41] ---
Of that blue sky I once saw
[22:48] ---
But everyone is in the sky
[22:55] ---
In the cage of freedom
[23:02] ---
In a starless night sky
[23:09] ---
Unable to see where I'm going... I wander
[23:23] ---
Welcome home.
[23:34] ---
Golden into navy,
[23:37] ---
navy into midnight blue, and...
[23:41] ---
Alois Trancy into Ciel Phantomhive.
[23:45] ---
That's what makes one hell of a butler.
[23:51] ---
Draw him a hot bath.
[23:53] ---
Of course.
[23:54] ---
He'll catch cold like this.
Hot water will warm up our master--
[23:58] ---
--no, our young master--
[24:01] ---
--all the faster.
[24:04] ---
In the end, the target for revenge
that Ciel Phantomhive sought
[24:08] ---
was Sebastian Michaelis.
[24:11] ---
I see. That's rather amusing, really.
[24:22] ---
Next time: "Zero Butler."
[24:25] ---
A Phantomhive butler...

"Next Episode: Zero Butler"
[24:28] ---
A PHANTOMHIVE BUTLER...!
