Gokusen (2002) s01e11 Episode Script

You are not alone

1
More than my blood-related
brothers
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
You seem very happy.
Has something nice happened?
- Well, nothing happened.
- What
I'm just saying, the guys in 3D
didn't cause any trouble today.
There are days like this.
You'd better not let your guard
down. Today isn't over yet.
Well, see you.
Good grief! It's time to move
the comic books I confiscated
Did you see it?
No.
You swear you didn't?
Yes.
- I miss the woolen ones.
- You saw it!
There you go.
Three Tornado Triple Mixes,
please
Four, please!
Gosh, how long is he going to
make us wait?
We've been waiting
15 minutes for him.
His obsession with food is huge.
Sorry to make you wait!
You kept us waiting
for too long, fatty!
Sorry.
Okay, now
Bon appetit
Watch where you're going!
Hey! Don't go!
You should at least apologize,
shouldn't you?
Do you know how long
we waited for him?
Pay for my crepes!
I am the best!
Guys, stop it. What if
the police come?
Hey, you guys!
What are you doing?
The police are here
Why did it rip?
You are so clumsy.
Come on, you're not a child.
Why did this happen?
How about this? It's American.
No. It's a bit
How about this? Look!
It's kind of sexy.
It's not really
This one? Like a leopard?
Miss Fujiyama, a leopard?
This one, then! It's see-through.
Wow!
You two only choose
the ones you like.
They don't suit you.
Well, I guess track suits
suit you best.
Track suit
They're so annoying!
- I think it suits you. It's pretty.
- It's so pretty.
Hello?
Mr. Sawatari?
What? Sawada and the boys
are with the police?
Come back to school at once!
The guys did something unbelievable!
- What's going on?
- This is serious.
What the heck did they do?
Excuse me, do you work at
Shirokin Gakuin?
What do you think about
this incident?
Please say something.
- Please say something!
- What do you think?
Oh! A kappa!
Please say something!
Mr. Shinohara!
I am very sorry! I am sure that
this happened for a reason.
They are not as bad
as other people say!
- No, they
- Calm down, Miss Yamaguchi.
Don't be biased, please listen to
what they have to say.
Yankumi.
Guys!
What's with that attitude?
Why do you look so uptight?
You got into trouble with the cops,
don't act so haughty!
"Got into trouble with the cops"?
Yankumi, I think you've got
the wrong idea.
Wrong idea?
We're being commended.
Commended?
They did a great job.
What?
They didn't get into trouble?
No, they didn't.
They caught a man who's wanted for
a series of murders and robberies.
A series of murders and robberies?
It's this guy.
I've seen this photo before.
Me too.
Even that TV talk show talked
about this case a lot!
He's an atrocious criminal
who's killed three people.
I'm glad he's been caught.
Is that so? You guys caught
such a horrible murderer?
Well done! That's what I expect
of my students!
It was a coincidence, though.
Our school is proud of them!
Who'd have thought 3D would
get back on the right track?
I've been patient in giving them
guidance and it has now paid off!
- Mr. Sawatari!
- Yes?
The mass media would like to hold
a press conference for the guys.
Press conference?
Yes!
I'll be on TV!
Newspaper and magazine reporters
are here too, right?
They would like to interview the
class teacher, so, Miss Yamaguchi
Would you go with them?
Me go?
Going with them to a
press conference? I can't do it.
Newspapers, TV, magazines
I am too shy to speak
in front of so many people!
Why did you sit in the center?
Because I am your class teacher.
So, thanks to these five brave
high school students,
we arrested the criminal
without mishap.
Who is Kumai, who punched
the murderer?
That's me!
Don't be so rude! You have to speak
in a humbler fashion!
Oh, I am sorry.
This guy is just nervous.
"This guy"?
I mean, the boy Right, Kumai?
Excuse me, but you are?
Yes, I am their class teacher,
Kumiko Yamaguchi,
23 years old, and single by the way.
Thank you!
Yankumi, I think you should
stop talking.
I won't be on TV
if I don't speak, idiot!
Yeah?
Okay, Kumai,
you were not afraid to punch
and then hold down the murderer,
I think that's quite unusual.
Do you have a strong sense
of justice?
Yes. When they encounter trouble,
they shouldn't turn
a blind eye to it.
I teach them that strictly
every day.
Sorry, we'd like to hear the
students' story, not the teacher's.
The students' story?
Sure, I'll give it to you
as detailed as you want.
Well, they don't exactly
look like good kids,
but they're actually honest
and the greatest in the world.
They hate evil,
do not accept injustice and
possess passionate hearts!
To have students with such
a strong sense of justice,
as a teacher, I, Kumiko Yamaguchi,
cannot be happier
and more delighted!
Thank you, everyone!
Class 3D never gives up!
As a teacher, I, Kumiko Yamaguchi,
cannot be happier
and more delighted!
This is pretty good, isn't it?
You did very well!
Oh, come on, teachers
But you should have redone
your makeup.
And you were in a track suit.
You can't blame people for thinking
that you're not feminine.
Not feminine? What do I do?
Why didn't you tell me that
before the press conference?
- It's common sense!
- Common sense
Why not? Appearing on TV is
the memory of your lifetime.
Yeah, you're right.
But remembering your whole life
that you're not feminine?
You're absolutely right.
Don't keep bringing that up.
Well, it's still nice, though.
Hello? Tetsu?
Yeah, Minoru recorded it.
The next show is Full Blast TV's
"Information Courier", right?
And I think I'll be on "The Wide"
at 2:00pm. Don't forget that one.
Okay. Bye.
Missy has grown up
to be an honorable person!
Well, yeah.
- Minoru, let's watch it again.
- Yes, Boss.
Okay.
Ma'am!
No, don't do this!
I love you.
(The Supermarket of Love)
Hey! What is this?
It's the "Housewives' Dramatic Hour
of Love" that airs at the same time.
Minoru! You recorded
the wrong program!
I'm sorry!
Missy is going to be very angry.
I think we should brace ourselves
Oh, no
How come Yankumi's always
in the front of the shot?
And her hand's blocking my face.
We should be the focus!
But it's really awesome!
Yeah
Good morning
Kuma, has your dad been in here?
Been in here?
I just saw your dad in the corridor.
What?
I am the father of
Teruo Kumai in Class 3D.
Mr. Kumai?
Thank you for taking care of my son!
To show you my gratitude,
I've brought the dumplings
that our restaurant is proud of!
Please have some!
- But we cannot accept
- Please have some!
- any food given by parents.
- Wow!
He can be of help to other people
and I have to thank you all for it.
Thank you so much! Please have some.
I've brought some flyers here
as a token. Please take one.
(My son and his friends caught the
murderer and were commended!)
Wow
There are more dumplings.
Dad!
What are you doing?
Hey, Teruo!
Stop giving them
those stupid dumplings!
"Stupid dumplings"? You idiot!
You grew so big because you ate
the dumplings I made!
I'm telling you not to do something
that makes me look stupid!
How dare you talk to
your father like that!
Watch out Calm down!
Come on, calm down. Please!
I told you to stop it!
But your student has been a good son
to his parents.
Kuma's father looked really happy.
Look, he made copies of the
news articles here, too.
Excuse me.
Oh, wow.
What are these?
The people of the shopping area gave
you these. To congratulate you.
The whole shopping area
is talking about you,
so we are very proud too.
Oh, come on! It's not like
I'm a star or anything.
But we should be grateful, right?
Oh, the video! The video!
So, the housewife, Kaori
What is this?
This is Channel 7's "Housewives'
Dramatic Hour of Love"!
Sorry, Missy
Darn you You recorded
the wrong program!
- Tetsu, Minoru!
- Missy, please forgive them!
- Let go of me!
- Missy!
Hello?
Mr. Sawatari? Have the guys
done something again?
What? Interview? Me?
Of course! I'd be delighted to!
Okay, let's have supper.
It's okay, everybody makes mistakes.
Right I can't just do nothing.
So, Wednesday Weekly said that
they would really like to interview
Miss Yamaguchi,
so we accepted their request.
Well, it will improve
Shirokin's image too.
Teachers, thank you for
your cooperation.
Thank you!
I am Wednesday Weekly's Tachibana.
I'm the photographer, Ito.
- Thank you for today.
- Thank you.
There is a popular section in our
magazine, the Hot-blooded Series.
- Oh, I know this!
- It's that one, right?
You focus on someone who devotes
their passion to a certain thing?
It featured someone who teaches cats
tricks in last week's issue, right?
After I saw you and your students
on TV yesterday,
I thought you really set an example
for teachers,
so I really would like to
feature you in this section.
Oh, "an example" is exaggerating.
The title is
A 24-hour Close-up Interview with
the Hot-blooded Teacher
in the Heisei era.
Close-up interview?
Oh, God
When a is bigger than 2
and smaller than 3
The maximum value is 2 when x is 0.
Hey Why is she dressed like that?
She's being too enthusiastic.
You. Mr. Uchiyama, Mr. Minami.
Do not talk during the lesson.
- Mr. Uchiyama
- Mr. Minami?
Why so formal?
Is Yankumi feeling all right?
Oh, Mr. Sawada, you're late.
Don't be late tomorrow
Hey, Sawada
Mr. Mori, Mr. Matsudaira
and Mr. Jimmy,
you can come and ask me anytime
if you don't understand something.
Mr. Oishi, Mr. Takeda, Mr. Horibe.
Don't play soccer in the corridor.
Mr. Hazama, Mr. Hattori, tell me
if you're being bullied. Okay?
All of my students are unique
and I enjoy every single day.
It's enjoyable.
What do you guys think of
Miss Yamaguchi as a teacher?
Boys, don't be shy. Tell him
honestly what you think.
Feel free to talk.
Yankumi eats our lunches
without asking, right?
Hey, you
And don't be pushy and join in
with us when we're talking dirty!
Yeah
She punches us when she's angry!
Like Hits us?
- Yeah, that
- She just acts on it.
No, it's not like that
Something like,
the lashings of love?
Yes, that's it!
It's the lashings of love
The lashings of love! Brilliant!
- We'll take the photo.
- Okay.
Sorry, I blinked. One more
- Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
Yes, Principal?
The thing is, the Private Schools
Association
will hold their Education Symposium
next month
Education Symposium?
It'll be held at our school
this year,
so I'd really like you to represent
our school and give a speech.
You want me to give a speech?
Wow
Is this really okay?
It's worrying.
I would like to listen
to your speech too.
- Wow, you would?
- Yes.
And one more thing, Miss Yamaguchi.
Come here.
Will you be interviewed
after school?
Yeah, it's a 24-hour
close-up interview.
Won't that be big trouble?
If they go to your house,
it's not just the speech
Sorry, I would like to end
our interview today now.
What? But Please don't say that.
It's a 24-hour close-up interview!
But You see, rather than
revealing everything about me,
isn't it better to leave
some mysteries?
- Mysteries?
- Yeah.
The mysterious hot-blooded teacher.
It's good. So, my private life is
a secret. Thank you for today.
Hang on, Miss Yamaguchi!
Wait, Miss Yamaguchi!
(Memorial Campaign)
(Everything half-price!
Kumai Ramen)
(Commended by the police!)
Kuma's dad is full of fight.
Hey, Teruo.
- Hello.
- You guys must be hungry.
Have some ramen.
We won't! We're going to
that family restaurant.
Don't go there. Come in.
I said we don't want ramen!
How dare you talk to me like that!
Shut up, stupid Dad!
What did you say?
Don't be home late! Gosh!
That's how he is, but please
be kind to him.
See you.
- We'll try your ramen next time.
- Thank you.
Kuma. Will you take over the
restaurant when you graduate?
No! It's going to close soon.
What? It's going to close?
But I feel sorry for your dad
if you don't go and help him out.
I don't care.
But your dad is nice.
What? What's nice about him?
He shouts at me every time
he sees me.
Welcome! This is my son. He's in the
news for catching that murderer.
- Remarkable!
- You see?
And he gives out
those stupid flyers.
Darn that stupid dad
Don't be ridiculous!
- She went inside, right?
- Yeah.
The Oedo Family?
What's do you want?
What Nothing.
Jerk! You're having a peek?
No, we aren't.
I'm sorry.
Hello?
Yankumi, I
Kuma?
Why are you calling
so early in the morning?
Yankumi My dad
Hey. What's the matter?
(Hospital)
Kuma.
He had a heart attack.
He didn't wake up at the time
he usually did.
When Mom went to wake him up,
he was already
Seriously?
We only just met him yesterday.
He was so healthy
How dare you talk to me like that!
Shut up, stupid Dad!
What did you say?
And that was the last thing
I said to him?
"Shut up, stupid Dad"
What the heck?
I can't apologize to him now.
Kuma.
Pull yourself together.
You have to give your mom and
your family the support they need.
Okay?
Darn
Kuma
Darn!
Kuma
- Big bro
- Teruo!
Kuma is absent again today?
The first seven days
have passed, but
He still hasn't recovered from
the shock, I guess.
Guys, do you know how Kuma is doing?
I went to his house yesterday,
but his mom told me that
he'd been wandering around
the whole day.
I hope he won't give in to despair.
Kuma's younger sister and
younger brother are still little.
Is there nothing we can do?
What can we do?
I think maybe it'd be better
to leave him alone for now.
Thank you.
Thanks for coming!
Teruo hasn't been home
since yesterday?
No Well, he did call us.
- The bill, please!
- Okay!
Two bowls of ramen. 960 yen, please.
Hey, aren't my dumplings ready yet?
I'm sorry! I'll bring you
the dumplings now.
Forty yen change.
Thank you for coming!
- Oh, I am so sorry, Miss Yamaguchi!
- It's okay.
Hello, Kumai Ramen.
Well Since my husband
passed away,
my son has changed so much.
I'm really at a loss as to
what I should do.
- Can I have some water?
- Another bowl of rice, please.
Okay! Oh, please take it to them.
Sawada
Kuma didn't come home, right?
You knew?
Yankumi
What can I do for him?
Sawada
Don't worry. He will be okay.
Let's leave him alone for now.
I know
But Kuma
When I was going through
the toughest time,
he was there for me.
So now, I should be the one
to be there for him.
When I think about how he is feeling
right now
I can't just do nothing.
Sawada
Stop talking so noisily
when you're walking!
(Chinese Cuisine)
Teruo, help in the restaurant
from time to time.
Shut up.
Or you can't take over
the restaurant.
I am not going to take over
this stupid restaurant!
(Kumai Ramen)
Kuma!
Kuma!
He ran away when he saw me.
Why doesn't he let me help?
All men watch their fathers
while they're alive.
Men catch up with their fathers
and outdo them,
or some think they'll never
become like their father.
But whether they are good or bad,
a father is still a son's guide
to how he lives his life.
If that guide suddenly disappears
one day,
of course it makes him worried.
And he is 17 years old. He's not
a child and he is not an adult.
He is too old to cry in front of
anyone too.
The boy, Kuma, is trying desperately
to find his own path.
If he is still lost somewhere
along the way, Kumiko
Show him the path.
(Teruo Kumai)
(Absent)
Miss Yamaguchi.
Is it true that Kumai
has run away from home?
Well, it's not as serious as
running away from home.
Then will Kumai
attend school today?
Well
The Education Symposium
is coming up,
do you know what will happen
if he causes a problem?
Go and find Kumai
as soon as possible.
The number you are diallng
cannot be reached
because there is no signal
or the phone has been turned off.
Is Kuma eating properly?
Shin.
Kuma!
(Soba noodles, udon)
Jun, will you tell me about
this guy? Do you know him?
Good lord! Where has Kuma gone?
Hello, thanks for calling.
This is Kumai Ramen.
Hello, this is Yamaguchi speaking.
Has Teruo called home?
No He still hasn't called.
I see.
But more importantly,
Miss Yamaguchi, actually
What? Really?
Miss Yamaguchi!
Mr. Shinohara!
Kashiwagi said that he saw Kumai.
Really?
Sorry, I didn't know Kumai
ran away from home.
Where is Kumai?
He was at Center-dori.
Thank you so much, Mr. Shinohara!
No, I saw him, though.
Kumiko? I'm the one who saw him!
Kumiko
Hey! What the heck?
What, you jerk?
Don't mess with us!
Kuma!
Darn you!
What are you doing?
Hey, can you hear me, jerk?
Kuma!
Don't mess with us.
Darn you!
Hey, can you hear me, jerk?
Kuma!
What, can't you fight any more?
What are you doing, huh?
Darn you!
Stop! I said, stop!
Who the heck are you?
I don't know what happened,
but you've kicked him too many times
and that's enough.
Sorry, but it's not enough.
He picked a fight with us.
This fatty suddenly attacked us.
Did he?
I am sorry. Please forgive him.
I beg you!
If an apology can settle everything,
you wouldn't need the police.
It's not reasonable
if we just walk away now.
Why are you looking at us like that?
Reasonable?
So many of you brainless thugs were
beating up a high school student,
so don't blow smoke!
You're not an ordinary person.
Do you belong to the yakuza?
Me?
I belong to Shirokin Gakuin's
Class 3D.
Class 3D?
Are you making a fool of us?
Scum like you guys aren't
even worth making fools of!
Darn!
Hey! Kuma, hang in there.
Okay Let's go.
I told my dad to shut up
and it was the last thing
I said to him before he died.
Now I can't even apologize to him.
I did something that
cannot be undone!
Just leave me on my own.
Sure. I'll do that.
If you don't try to stand up
with your own two legs,
there is nothing I can do.
But I want to show you something.
Come on.
Look at this.
(Kumai Ramen)
Your mom just told me.
Your friends
came here to ask if there was
anything they could do to help.
They're doing thisfor me?
The boys are stupid,
so they could only come up with
something very simple, but they
Their attitude is very positive.
They said it'd be too much for
your mom to do it all alone,
but you aren't there, so they wanted
to help out in the restaurant.
It's a very simple thing,
but it's very positive, right?
The boys
They believe
that you'll overcome
such a trying time,
and that you are going to come back.
They all believe that.
So they decided to help your mom
until you return.
And they'll do their best.
The restaurant
is what your dad worked so hard
to maintain for you
and your younger siblings.
He was a very cool father, right?
Did you see how delighted he was
when you were in the news?
He wasn't shy and got so excited.
So excited that I was embarrassed
for him.
But that is what parents do.
I
I
I wasn't a good son
and didn't do anything for him.
You can start to do something now.
Look straight ahead of you
and just live in a way that
won't embarrass your father.
Do it with the mother who loves you,
the younger siblings
who depend on you,
and
your friends too.
Thanks for coming!
- Thank you.
- Please come again.
Please come again
Kuma!
Yankumi!
Why did you say it was
going to close?
There are so many customers.
Your mom is a slave driver.
Exactly! The muscles in my arms
really hurt!
Kuma.
Don't make us worry.
Shin
- Teruo!
- Big bro!
Where have you been?
I am sorry
I'm sorry!
Gosh You must be hungry, right?
I'll make you ramen.
Oh, what are you doing?
Guys.
How dare you do this behind my back?
You should have told me
you were going to do it!
Let's go and help them.
Ouch!
It's so hot!
- Excuse me.
- Thanks.
Kumai has come home safely.
He'll be coming back to school
starting today.
I see. Please tell him strictly
not to do this again.
The Education Symposium
is coming up.
Okay.
- Good morning!
- Good morning
Heywhen will the Wednesday Weekly
with your interview go on sale?
They said it would be next week.
- I can't wait to read it!
- Yeah.
Let's do our best!
Good morning!
Good morning
Hey, Kuma! Wake up!
Let him sleep.
Kuma is going to help in
the restaurant starting today.
Is he?
He went to buy the ingredients
early in the morning.
But I think Kuma will eat
more than he'll cook.
I see. He decided to help
in the restaurant, huh?
I can't eat any more
Well, well. I will
let him off just for today.
(Wednesday Weekly
Editorial Department)
We got some interesting photos.
(The Shocking Truth!)
(The Hot-blooded Teacher is the
Future Boss of A Yakuza Group!)
This'll sell well.
What the heck is this?
Guys, don't do anything.
It's our job to write
interesting articles.
- How dare you!
- No!
I won't let the school
expel you guys.
Yankumi!
Yankumi
Oh, come on, Mr. Shinohara!
- He's so cool!
- What the heck?
- Good morning!
- See you
- Chairman?
- What have you been doing?
I am very sorry.
Did they do anything that made you
chase them around?
