[00:02] Ciel
    Weston's special rules bind us hand and foot.
[00:05] Ciel
    A proper investigation is impossible.
[00:07] Ciel
    We might as well be prisoners.
[00:10] Ciel
    Well, at least I'm finally in this "P4" group.
[00:14] Ciel
    I'll see how they respond to
    direct questions about Derrick.
[00:17] Ciel
    I have a friend in Purple House as well.
[00:20] Ciel
    His name is Derrick Arden—
[00:24] Violet
    Derrick, you say?
[00:27] Redmond
    At any rate, it was the
    Head Master's decision that he transfer.
[00:32] Greenhill
    The Head Master's orders
     are never mistaken.
[00:35] Bluewer
    And...
[00:36] P4
    The Head Master's decisions are absolute.
[00:40] Edward
    It's not as if Arden's
    the only one who transferred.
[00:42] Ciel
    Their names?
[00:43] Edward
    I don't know.
[00:44] Edward
    It's something the Head Master decided.
[00:47] Ciel
    I see.
[00:49] Ciel
    Even Edward takes that line, eh?
[00:52] Sebastian
    Well? How will you meet Lord Derrick?
[00:55] Sebastian
    You'll be in for it if you're found.
[00:58] Ciel
    It's simple enough.
[01:00] Ciel
    Since we can't get inside...
[01:02] Ciel
    ...we'll just have him come out.
[01:05] Ciel
    We're about to meet at last, Derrick Arden.
[01:25] Cheslock
    Everyone evacuate!
[01:27] Cheslock
    Hurry up!
[01:33] Ciel
    Sebastian, find Derrick and the others.
[01:35] Sebastian
    Yes, my lord.
[01:45] Ciel
    Are they here?
[01:46] Sebastian
    Not yet.
[01:49] Ciel
    What's going on? Get out here.
[01:55] Cheslock
    Monitor, take roll call
    and report to the prefect!
[01:57] Purple House Student
    Right!
[02:05] Ciel
    Still not here?
[02:06] Sebastian
    No.
[02:07] Ciel
    That does it.
    Sebastian, go rescue Derrick and—
[02:10] Sebastian
    One moment, my lord.
[02:13] Sebastian
    Yes, I'm sure.
[02:16] Sebastian
    I detect no souls inside Purple House.
[02:20] Ciel
    What?
[02:21] Sebastian
    At such close range,
    I can sense any soul inside,
[02:28] Sebastian
    and thus, any living human.
[02:32] Ciel
    So everyone has already evacuated?
[02:35] Sebastian
    Yes.
[02:37] Sebastian
    None of the five people said to be
    holed up in Purple House are here.
[02:42] Sebastian
    Which means...
[02:45] Ciel
    Derrick was never in
    Purple House to begin with?
[03:43] Sign
    Black Butler
[03:43] Sign
    Public School Arc
[04:25] Greenhill
    Violet!
[04:27] Greenhill
    Is everyone all right?
[04:30] Violet
    Yes. Everyone's here.
[04:34] Ciel
    Things have gotten curiouser.
[04:37] Sebastian
    Yes.
[04:38] Sebastian
    This proves that the P4 are indeed hiding
    something about the missing boys.
[04:44] Ciel
    There's no point in dragging
    this out if Derrick isn't here.
[04:48] Ciel
    Put out the fire.
[04:49] Sebastian
    Very good.
[04:50] Green House Student
    Green House, go fetch water!
[04:54] Blue House Student
    Blue House, bring water here
    faster than the other Houses!
[04:56] Red House Student
    Red House, don't let them win!
    Go report this to the Masters!
[04:59] Sebastian
    Attention, everyone!
[05:02] Sebastian
    I have water here!
[05:04] Bluewer
    Master Michaelis?
[05:06] Soma
    That's my elephant!
[05:08] Sebastian
    Be as quick as you can,
    before the fire spreads.
[05:10] Students
    Right!
[05:12] Soma
    Good elephant!
[05:16] Edward
    Right! Green House, follow me!
[05:19] Green House Students
    Yes, sir!
[05:20] Clayton
    Let's go, Blue House!
[05:22] Blue House Students
    Understood!
[05:23] Violet
    Stay out of Purple House!
[05:29] Clayton
    B-But...
[05:31] Soma
    Idiot! This is no time to take that attitude!
[05:34] Soma
    You're the mayor of Purple House, aren't you?
[05:37] Soma
    Your silly pride can't protect your people!
[05:40] Soma
    What kind of mayor
    can't protect his subjects?
[05:43] Cheslock
    Just who do you think you're talking to?
[05:46] Violet
    Cheslock!
[05:51] Violet
    It's all right. We'll let them help.
[05:55] Cheslock
    Fine.
[06:02] Edward
    Keep a cloth over your mouths!
    Don't inhale the smoke!
[06:05] Clayton
    Be careful opening any doors!
     The fire may surge!
[06:09] Harcourt
    If you are injured, come this way!
[06:12] Cheslock
    You'd better watch your backs.
[06:16] Cheslock
    I'll make you all pay for this!
[06:20] Cheslock
    Look alive, Purple House!
    Don't just stand there!
[06:37] Ciel
    Derrick and the others have disappeared,
    and the P4 are keeping mum about it.
[06:42] Ciel
    The only option left is to
    make contact with the Head Master.
[06:46] Ciel
    But only the P4 and their drudges may
    participate in the midnight tea parties.
[06:52] Ciel
    I could eliminate Clayton and
    take his place as prefect's drudge...
[06:58] Ciel
    No, no.
[06:59] Student A
    It's a good job yesterday's fire
     died down so quickly.
[07:02] McMillan
    It's scary, though.
    People are saying it was arson.
[07:05] Student B
    I wonder if they will cancel
    the cricket tournament.
[07:10] McMillan
    They would never.
    It's a Weston tradition!
[07:14] Student A
    Not that Blue House has
    much of a chance anyway.
[07:17] McMillan
    I hear the Head Master
    comes to the tournaments,
[07:20] McMillan
    so we must support our team loudly!
[07:22] Ciel
    What? The Head Master's coming?
[07:25] McMillan
    And even if Blue House is
    the perennial wooden spooner,
[07:28] McMillan
    at least the midnight tea party is
    something everyone has an equal chance of—
[07:31] Ciel
    I-I say! Is that true?
[07:34] McMillan
    Hmm? You mean that we're wooden spooners?
[07:37] Ciel
    No, the other part.
[07:39] McMillan
    The Head Master is awfully busy,
[07:41] McMillan
    but I hear he always comes to watch
    the Fourth of June tournament.
[07:44] McMillan
    And every year, he chooses one athlete
    who did well in the tournament,
[07:47] McMillan
    and invites him to a midnight tea party!
[07:51] Ciel
    There is a way I can attend
    a tea party after all!
[07:55] Ciel
    Does he pick the one who has scored
    the most runs for the winning team?
[07:58] McMillan
    Actually, he gives
    a different reason every year.
[08:02] McMillan
    Some years, it's the highest-scoring player,
[08:05] McMillan
    and others, it's a player on the
    last-place team who demonstrated fair play.
[08:09] Student A
    The boy who gets chosen is the one
    whose performance the Head Master deems
[08:13] Student A
    is "most worthy of a gentleman."
[08:15] Ciel
    What does that mean?
[08:16] Ciel
    Choosing that way would be far harder
    than just choosing the winner.
[08:20] McMillan
    Two years ago, he apparently chose a boy
     who threw himself in front of the ball
[08:26] McMillan
    to protect a member of
    the crowd from being hit.
[08:31] (Flashback) Nearby Student
    Clayton!
[08:34] Ciel
    In other words, that act constituted
    play "worthy of a gentleman" in his eyes?
[08:40] McMillan
    Though as there are
    only 11 players per team,
[08:44] McMillan
    securing a spot at all is difficult enough.
[08:46] McMillan
    First-years have no chance.
[08:48] Ciel
    I hate to admit it,
    but I'm not very good at sport.
[08:52] Ciel
    Getting picked won't be easy.
[08:55] Ciel
    What to do, what to do...
[08:58] Clayton
    Phantomhive.
[09:00] Clayton
    I need to speak with you.
[09:10] Clayton
    Congratulations!
[09:11] Clayton
    You have been chosen to play cricket
     on the Fourth of June.
[09:15] Ciel
    Me? R-Really?
[09:18] Clayton
    Yes.
[09:19] Ciel
    I-I'm deeply honoured. But why me?
[09:23] Clayton
    Unlike the hulking clots
     in the other Houses,
[09:27] Clayton
    our House specialises in strategic play.
[09:30] Clayton
    Your physique may be lacking,
[09:32] Clayton
    but the way you exposed Maurice Cole's
    wrongdoing took brains and guts.
[09:36] Clayton
    You're certain to be useful to the team.
[09:38] Clayton
    At least, that's what
    your sponsor strongly feels.
[09:42] Ciel
    Pardon?
[09:43] Clayton
    Master Michaelis.
[09:44] Ciel
    Oh, the Master recommended me?
[09:48] Ciel
    Well done, Sebastian.
[09:50] Ciel
    I hate to praise you,
    but that was excellent support.
[09:54] Clayton
    Be sure to thank him.
[09:56] Ciel
    Yes, I'll do that right away!
[10:05] Ciel
    Ugh, witnesses everywhere.
    Well, nothing for it.
[10:10] Ciel
    Master Michaelis!
[10:14] Ciel
    Thank you for recommending me
     for the cricket team!
[10:17] Sebastian
    Now, now, Phantomhive. You mustn't run.
[10:21] Ciel
    I'm sorry. I was in a hurry to thank you.
[10:25] Sebastian
    There is no need to thank me.
    I'm confident that you'll be brilliant.
[10:31] Ciel
    Yes, sir! I will need to
    prepare for the tournament.
[10:34] Sebastian
    I'll help you, if you'd like.
[10:37] Ciel
    You will?
[10:39] Sebastian
    Of course.
[10:40] Sebastian
    But only after I've checked that
    you've finished all your extra work.
[10:45] Sebastian
    I'm merely one hell of an educator, you see.
[10:49] Ciel
    Victory, individual achievement,
    gentlemanly play...
[10:53] Ciel
    Which of these takes priority is
    on the whim of the Head Master.
[10:56] Sebastian
    The lack of a clear standard means it will
    be most difficult to ensure he is chosen.
[11:02] Sebastian
    However...
[11:06] Ciel
    Scoring runs, achieving
    victory for Blue House,
[11:08] Ciel
    and moving the crowd
    to tears should do it.
[11:20] Ciel
    I'll do whatever it takes to get
    an invitation to the midnight tea party.
[11:33] Sebastian
    I look forward to the Fourth of June.
[11:52] Sebastian
    The opening festivities
    are as lively as advertised.
[11:59] Agares
    Ladies and gentleman,
    apologies for interrupting the merriment.
[12:03] Agares
    Thank you all for coming
    to the opening ceremony
[12:07] Agares
    of Weston College's traditional
    Fourth of June cricket match.
[12:12] Agares
    I'm pleased that we are able
    to hold it again this year.
[12:18] Agares
    Please enjoy this evening's
     opening festivities.
[12:24] Agares
    And now...
[12:27] Agares
    Houses, send in your athletes!
[12:34] Gentleman in His Prime
    Wh-What's this?
[12:35] Middle-Aged Lady
    An earthquake?
[12:37] Student C
    H-Here they come!
[12:39] Student D
    No other House can match their
    overwhelming physical power and unity!
[12:47] Agares
    "Top of the World," the eternal champions...
[12:51] Agares
    Green Lion House!
[12:58] Elizabeth
    Brother, you look so cool!
[13:06] Student E
    L-Look! It's the team that almost
    beat Green House last year!
[13:11] Student F
    Their splendid play
    makes spectators swoon!
[13:14] Agares
    "Brilliant Eden,"
    the garden of magnificent play...
[13:18] Agares
    Scarlet Fox House!
[13:32] Student C
    C-Could this be...
[13:34] Student D
    The team said to confound their opponents
     with their tricksy unpredictability?
[13:40] Agares
    "Ghost Legion," the assembly of ghouls...
[13:44] Agares
    Violet Wolf House!
[13:49] Student C
    They didn't even use the door...
    They're already being tricksy!
[13:55] Student E
    Those birds... Ah, of course.
[13:59] Student F
    They're outmatched physically,
[14:01] Student F
    but they are strategists,
    ready to seize any chance of victory.
[14:06] Agares
    "God Only Knows,"
    the cornered rats who may bite...
[14:10] Agares
    Sapphire Owl House!
[14:17] Ciel
    N-Not much of a reaction...
[14:19] Ciel
    Given our wooden spoon status,
[14:21] Ciel
    I should have expected our entrance and
    the crowd's welcome to be unimpressive.
[14:26] Elizabeth
    Ciel, you look so cute! Do your best!
[14:40] Agares
    Light the fire of Saint George!
[14:43] Greenhill
    We athletes vow...
[14:46] Bluewer
    ...to follow Weston College tradition...
[14:48] Redmond
    ...and to fight fair and square...
[14:51] Violet
    ...from beginning to end.
[15:01] Agares
    I hereby declare that the 1889
    inter-house cricket tournament...
[15:09] Agares
    begins here!
[15:23] Agares
    The competition will be fierce tomorrow.
[15:27] Agares
    So for tonight, please enjoy
    yourselves to the fullest.
[15:40] Instructor
    L-Lower Master!
[15:41] Agares
    Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
    Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
[15:49] Greenhill
    We won't make it to the final
     on an empty stomach! Eat up!
[15:53] Athletes
    Yes, sir!
[15:56] Lady
    How wonderful.
[16:09] Bluewer
    They lack discipline.
[16:11] Bluewer
    We'll have a strategy meeting
     to further perfect our tactics!
[16:14] Bluewer
    We can't waste a single moment!
[16:16] Athletes
    Understood!
[16:17] Older Sister A
    Don't be such a bore.
[16:21] Older Sister A
    You should have fun, too.
[16:22] Bluewer
    S-Sister?!
[16:23] Twins
    Have fun, too!
[16:25] Older Sister B
    Listen to that lordly manner of yours.
    Quite different from when you're at home!
[16:29] Older Sister C
    To think the little boy who always played
    house with me has become a prefect!
[16:35] Bluewer
    Sister!
[16:37] Bluewer
    I beg you, stop making uncalled-for
    remarks and go somewhere else!
[16:40] Older Sister A
    Laurie! What do you mean, "uncalled-for"?
[16:42] Twins
    What do you mean?
[16:44] Older Sister C
    It's a pleasure to meet
    my brother's schoolmates.
[16:46] Younger Sister A
    Brother, Brother, where is Lord Edgar?
[16:49] Ciel
    They look exactly like in Violet's sketch.
[16:53] Older Sister A
    This is crooked, silly.
[16:54] Ciel
    He truly is a hero.
[16:56] Older Sister B
    Oh!
[16:57] Older Sister B
    You must be Phantomhive.
[17:00] Older Sister B
    My brother's letter called you
    a very talented first-year.
[17:04] Ciel
    Thank you.
[17:06] Older Sister A
    Aw, you're so adorable!
[17:09] Older Sister A
    He's a little small, but he's got a good face,
     a good mind, and a good title. A triple threat.
[17:14] Older Sister B
    Yes, quite.
[17:15] Ciel
    Um...
[17:16] Older Sister A
    Would you like to marry my younger sister?
[17:20] Ciel
    Pardon me?!
[17:21] Younger Sister B
    Please, stop!
[17:22] Older Sister A
    What are you blushing for?
[17:25] Older Sister C
    This is indecorous, Adela.
[17:27] Ciel
    I, um...
[17:28] Elizabeth
    Ciel!
[17:31] Elizabeth
    It's a pleasure to meet you all.
[17:33] Elizabeth
    I'm Elizabeth, Ciel's betrothed.
[17:38] Edward
    You're promised to Lizzie!
    How dare you behave in this way?!
[17:40] Ciel
    Wait, stop.
[17:43] Older Sister B
    I suppose he was bound to have one.
[17:43] Edward
    You scoundrel! Scoundrel! Scoundrel!
[17:45] Older Sister A
    The best men are always taken.
[17:47] Elizabeth
    Stop that, Brother!
[17:51] Elizabeth
    Brother?
[17:53] Redmond
    Blue House is as lively as ever.
[17:57] Soma
    Ciel, that strange hat looks good on you!
[18:01] Harcourt
    So that's her.
[18:03] Ciel
    I didn't think you'd be chosen to compete.
[18:06] Soma
    Of course I was!
[18:07] Harcourt
    Kadar is very good at cricket.
[18:11] Soma
    India is wild about cricket
    since you English brought it over.
[18:15] Soma
    I used to put together teams at the palace.
[18:17] Ciel
    I see.
[18:19] Younger Sister A
    Lord Edgar! When are you
    finally going to dance with me?
[18:25] Redmond
    Perhaps when you no longer tread on my feet.
[18:27] Younger Sister A
    You're cruel!
[18:29] Druitt
    Why, Edgar, how could you
    say such a thing to a lady?
[18:33] Druitt
    Have you forgotten everything
    I taught you, nephew?
[18:39] Younger Sister A
    It's Viscount Druitt!
[18:40] Redmond
    Uncle Aleister!
[18:42] Druitt
    Non! Not "uncle."
[18:46] Ciel
    I knew Redmond reminded me of someone...
[18:51] Ciel
    It was him?!
[18:55] Druitt
    Ah, my dear old school!
[18:59] Druitt
    Those youthful days when I was
    dewy as a rose in the morning mist
[19:02] Druitt
    suddenly feel as if
    they were only yesterday!
[19:05] Ciel
    I didn't even know he was a Weston graduate.
[19:08] Frances
    I dislike such flighty men.
[19:12] Sebastian
    Oh, dear. What an assembly
    of troublesome characters.
[19:17] Sebastian
    Perhaps I'll keep my distance.
[19:22] Frances
    Oi, indecent butler. What are you doing here?
[19:26] Sebastian
    Why, Lady Scotney. You've caught me.
[19:31] Frances
    What is the meaning of this haircut?
    I've never seen such a slovenly educator!
[19:36] Frances
    Well, never mind. Your presence
    tells me that Ciel's attendance here is...
[19:44] Sebastian
    You are absolutely right, your ladyship.
[19:49] Elizabeth
    What?
[19:50] Elizabeth
    Aren't you Se—
[19:56] Alexis
    Who is that, my dear?
[19:58] Edward
    You know my mother, sir?
[20:00] Elizabeth
    Don't be silly, you two! That teacher is...
[20:06] Sebastian
    Good evening. It's been too long.
[20:10] Alexis
    My goodness! I didn't even realise.
[20:13] Edward
    Neither did I.
[20:14] Ciel
    I thought you'd noticed
    and were just keeping quiet.
[20:17] Edward
    Lizzie is in the room.
    Why would I even notice anyone else?
[20:21] Ciel
    Don't say that like it's normal.
[20:23] Edward
    Does tomorrow's tournament
    have anything to do with your job?
[20:26] Ciel
    In a way, but do not hold
     back on that account.
[20:29] Edward
    I won't, then.
[20:30] Elizabeth
    I'll be cheering you on!
[20:34] Elizabeth
    Win, Ciel!
[20:35] Ciel
    R-Right...
[20:37] Edward
    Blue House could never win!
[20:41] Alexis
    That's not necessarily true.
[20:43] Alexis
    Blue House did win once
    while I was a student,
[20:48] Alexis
    though I've heard it was their only win.
[20:51] McMillan
    D-Do you mean the year
    of the Sapphire Miracle?!
[20:56] McMillan
    I-I'm McMillan, Phantomhive's best friend!
[21:00] Ciel
    "Best friend"?
[21:00] McMillan
    Please, Lord Scotney, tell me all about it!
[21:04] Alexis
    Of course. It happened while I was drudging
    for the Green House prefect, like Ed here.
[21:17] (Flashback) Diederich
    Today, he'll finally get what's coming to him!
[21:21] (Flashback) Teen Alexis
    Please, calm down.
[21:23] (Flashback) Diederich
    How could anyone stay calm
    in the face of this, Midford?!
[21:27] (Flashback) Diederich
    No proper prefect would skive
    the preparations for the Fourth of June!
[21:31] (Flashback) Diederich
    He's always so...
[21:38] (Flashback) Diederich
    Wake up, moleface.
[21:41] (Flashback) Vincent
    Aw, I was three minutes
    from the end of the book.
[21:46] (Flashback) Diederich
    Prefects aren't allowed in the quad
     for the purposes of napping!
[21:50] (Flashback) Vincent
    Don't be so testy, Diederich.
[21:55] (Flashback) Vincent
