Kakegurui (2017) s01e07 Episode Script

1 Midari, I don't recommend pulling the trigger on that gun.
You're begging for your life? Man, how boring! That's my gun.
Look at the barrel.
It has a red mark, right? I filled the barrel with lipstick.
I put three bullets in.
In other words, there's a three in six chance the gun will misfire.
That's 50 percent, and you're taking all the risk.
No luck, huh? That was a lie.
I didn't put a single bullet in.
What? Seriously? Jeez.
By the way, it seems that lipstick isn't enough to cause a gun to misfire.
I don't care.
Let's go on to the next round.
Midari, why did you ask me to play this game? Why else? For the thrill of it! The thrill of risking your life is pure joy! I want to go numb to a thrill you could never get in real life! Money's not good enough.
It doesn't make me feel anything.
No matter how much I make or lose, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter I can't see out of my left eye at all.
Why do you think that is? The president took it as the prize for a gambling match! Something always felt off since I was little.
Winning, praise, the fear of others, even when I made a fortune at the academy.
None of it really made me happy.
Now, you owe 300 million yen.
- Do you have a way to pay it? - Of course not! Gambling's so damn boring.
Debt doesn't mean a goddamn thing to me.
I see.
That lack of fear is what makes you good at gambling.
I'd prefer people like you pay with your lives, not money.
But you're not the type men really like.
You may not be appropriate for a life plan.
I know The other side.
Have you ever seen the other side of the moon? Of course you haven't.
Perhaps you've seen a picture of it.
But I've never seen it for myself.
Everyone's just lying to me.
Maybe there's an alien base there.
You can't totally deny that ridiculous idea, can you? What are you--? I just realized that I've never seen the back of someone's eye socket.
I'll buy your left eye for 300 million yen.
What color is the back of an eye? Where are the nerves? How do they connect? How does it smell? Is there blood? I want to know, not from reading it in a book, but from seeing it myself.
She doesn't see me as human.
We can do the removal operation tomorrow.
You have class.
We can do it after school.
You're insane! You're a pervert! President! Impressive.
I see.
Yes, I've never seen anyone tear their own eye out.
It wasn't that interesting.
Thanks.
You can go.
That's not fair! I stabbed out my eye! This was your idea, right? Take more pleasure in it! I told you, I'm satisfied.
Thanks.
I finally understand Pain This pain is true gambling! President, one more time! Let's gamble once more! You're out of money, right? I've seen what I had to see.
- There's no point to gamble with you.
- I've got another eye, right? Let's gamble once more for 300 million yen.
Midari, join the student council.
Not interested! I just want to gamble-- If you do someday, I'll kill you.
It was the greatest experience of my life.
My brain went numb.
I finally understood why the whole world loves to gamble.
I don't want the pain.
I don't want to die.
That's what makes it great! You're the same, right, Yumeko? I couldn't say.
Don't even try to hide it.
I told you that we're the same.
That's how I know.
The president's the greatest, but she refuses to do it with me.
So, I'm counting on you, Yumeko.
It's time for round two.
How do I line these up? Unlike the first round, where there was no hint, this time there's information that Yumeko and I definitely share.
The way all three of us lined our cards up in round one Me, Ikishima, Yumeko.
I should match one of our hands.
Yumeko would know that my brain is only capable of coming up with those three options.
But the problem is I only remember how my cards and Yumeko's were lined up since that's all I was looking at.
Wait.
Isn't it normal not to remember them all? Normally, you couldn't remember the order of three sets of five cards.
If Ikishima remembers something, she'd be more likely to remember my cards instead of Yumeko's.
But that's not true for Yumeko.
I can say for sure that Yumeko remembers all the hands.
That's it! I'll copy Yumeko's hand from round one.
I'll only say this once more.
Mary, join the student council.
May I ask one question? What is it? I'll be happy to answer any questions.
It's about the house pet system.
The way you turn humans into house pets is terrible.
Why do you go that far? Pretty, isn't it? But even these cute fish live in a world where it's survival of the fittest.
If you gathered the fish at the bottom of the food chain, what would happen? A new bottom would form.
And sometimes, the weak fish would steal food from the strong.
So, what if these were humans? I want to see for myself.
I'm very curious.
The odds this game will end in a tie are 100 percent.
Hey! What are you talking about? The risk of gambling is the greatest pleasure! You and I are the same that way, right? You want to risk death with me, right? Risk death, huh? I was right to limit it to three games.
You're lying! You want to feel the risk of death if you lose, right? No.
I'm not feeling any fear at all right now.
Because I believe in Ryota.
I'm putting in six bullets! If you think you can get a draw, then try! As you wish.
I hope Yumeko sees what I'm trying to do.
Please I'm begging you! You're ready, right? Show your cards.
Five to three.
Yumeko wins! She got all five right? Without any sign How could she do that? It can't be a coincidence.
Trying to get them right means taking the risk of getting them wrong.
She took the risk to get results.
Yumeko.
You really were just who I hoped you were.
Midari, are you ready? I sure am! Aim carefully! One in two There's a one in two chance the bullet comes out.
It's way better than that was.
I'm gonna die! No luck? Nope.
This is my gun.
The second chamber doesn't contain a bullet either.
You're so cold.
You're not scared to fire? You sadist! I'm not.
I knew this was my gun.
The bullets weigh something, right? There's a difference of six bullets.
This gun doesn't even weigh a kilogram, right? But the bullets probably weigh 15 grams apiece.
That's a ten percent difference.
I can tell that.
That's right.
You can tell.
Of course you can't! What's the deal with your senses? But I was able to tell.
That's inhuman.
At this rate, I'm going to lose for sure.
Yumeko really is amazing.
She read my mind perfectly.
Yes.
Understood.
Ryota, time for game three.
I can help her get all of it again.
What is this? That's cheating! What is this? That's cheating! Cheating! Right.
Just line up the cards.
Shut up! She could get killed! You can't-- Ryota! Line up the goddamn cards! If you can't do it in ten seconds, I'll kill Yumeko! Ten, nine - No way! If she does that, Yumeko will - eight, seven, six, five I have to line them up.
It's no good.
I can't think of anything.
And if I can't Okay.
Yumeko.
Midari, that isn't very nice of you at all.
This is your punishment.
I put two bullets in.
You're the best! I had the wrong idea.
I thought you were like me, that you rejoice in risk-taking.
But I was wrong! You're a thinker.
The same type as the president! If you're putting in two bullets, so am I.
No.
How can she do that in this circumstance? You're ready, right, Yumeko? Reveal the cards.
How boring.
Did you know that Ryota is right-handed? But for the first two games, he used his left hand to flip the cards.
In addition to that, the wave card was backwards.
Which means one thing.
The video we saw was reflected in a mirror.
Left and right were backwards.
But now, he's using his right hand.
In other words, this time there's no reflection.
But that doesn't explain how Ryota was able to recreate the way I lined up my cards in the second game.
He should've lined it up backwards.
But that wasn't what happened.
Which means our image was reversed as well.
We were both looking at reversed images.
There's no way you could trick someone with such a stupid cheat.
Please don't insult me, okay? Ryota's actions were just what I predicted.
She took this cheating into account and perfectly incorporated it into her plan.
I knew I couldn't beat her.
Yumeko, congratulations.
You lose.
How? She got them all wrong! I can't believe it! I can't believe a girl like you appeared before me! I can't take it anymore.
It's your turn.
Show your cards, Yumeko! I've been looking so long for the greatest woman imaginable, one like the president.
Control me! Please! Like the boy you keep with you.
Let me join you.
I wanted a girl like you to kill me.
I'll entrust you with everything.
Rule over everything I have! Show your hand and let me die! You, it has to be you! Anything else is just masturbation.
You're the only way I can feel the joy I felt on that day.
Do it! This is just what I expected.
I knew instantly that you were trying to lose.
Why'd you agree to let Ryota be the dealer? You didn't have any guarantee that we didn't have a sign.
No, wait The only reason you pulled the trigger without hesitation during the first game was that you didn't care if you were in danger.
Well, that's fine, though.
But this is just terrible.
Wait! Hey, don't flip over another card.
This particular cheat was made to be found out.
This wave card.
What if there was another wave on it? You couldn't tell if it just happened to be upside-down.
You can't have done all this just to win the game.
So, why? Victory to you is being killed.
That is your victory condition.
Yumeko got everything wrong too! It's a draw again! This doesn't make sense.
It doesn't make any sense.
It just doesn't.
Why put two bullets in? You could've put in zero since you knew you'd win.
Putting in two and then getting them all wrong just increases the risk you'll get shot.
It's simple.
There are six chambers in the gun.
After I put in two bullets, there were four chambers left.
If the score difference was five, one bullet would definitely be fired.
If you get all five cards wrong, a tie's impossible.
I knew that that's what you'd think.
If you decided to get one or two right, I might get shot.
This isn't gambling.
It's just a stupid game, pointless, and not even entertaining! You just said that you and I weren't alike, right? I agree.
Gambling is fun because both sides have the chance to feel pain.
Why are you trying to monopolize all the pain for yourself? You're not enjoying the gambling.
You just want to die! You're the type I hate most.
In short you piss me off! What is she saying? She risked death to force the game to a tie.
She's insane.
She's far beyond what I imagined, what I dreamed! Yumeko! You're my goddess! - This was a waste of time, huh? - Yumeko! Wait! Yume it has to be you! Just one shot is all I need! Give me pain, please! THE GIRLS THAT REFUSE I refuse.
What did you say? Did you not hear me? I said I refuse to join the student council.
May I ask why? You don't like the way we treat house pets? You have a strong sense of justice? I don't have to answer that.
Goodbye.
Is Yumeko upset? - Ryota? - Yes? Want to go to a sweets buffet? The coin flip determines who pays.
Tails, it's me.
Heads, it's you.
How about it? No, things are pretty tight this month.
Are you absolutely sure? Fine, I'm a man.
I'll do it.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Please.
Tails.
May I ask something? Why did you keep recreating my hand even though you realized they were cheating? Why are you asking? Please.
I want an answer.
Well, there was no time.
I couldn't really think.
And actually to be honest I thought you'd realize that I didn't know what to do.
I hoped you would.
I'm sorry.
I know that with your life on the line, I should've thought more.
I see.
I understand.
It's tails.
You win, Ryota.
Yes! I'm saved! Thank you, Ryota.
Thanks to you, I had a very fun time gambling.
Sense of justice? It just makes me angrier how wrong she was.
There's only one reason.
She doesn't see house pets as humans.
She sees them as a lower race.
In other words she insulted me.
And that was a bad idea.
I'll make her regret it.
- It's been forever! - Thank you! The school started to revolve around Yumeko.
Of course, you're welcome! If that happens you'll form an idol unit with me.
