Gokusen (2002) s03e02 Episode Script

1
I am Kumiko Yamaguchi,
and I've been a high school
teacher for seven years now.
I started working at Akado Gakuin
High School this spring,
its Class 3D is a group of bad
students abandoned by the teachers.
The most problematic ones
are these two students
Yamato Ogata
and Ren Kazama.
Let's make it clear about
who leads Akado.
You want to fight
one-to-one with me?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
Do you have evidence
to prove that I'm the robber?
- Do you?
- Stop it!
Why did you lie and say
that you were at home?
Would you have believed me
if I told the truth?
You're totally deceived by his lies.
Don't you realize?
I trust Kazama.
Someone's being treated as
the robber because of you.
I heard you found the robber.
I didn't do it for you.
Don't make me laugh!
Friends take each other seriously,
and trust each other wholeheartedly,
and you stay friends
with that person for life.
It is not too late yet.
Make some real friends
that you will treasure.
Until then, I'm going to be
spending a lot of time with you.
Don't run away!
The passionate days I have with
my students start again.
We give thanks to
all the lives here. Bon appetit.
Bon appetit
Excuse me.
Kumiko, how is the new school?
Have you gotten used to it?
The students now just glare or
ignore me whenever I talk to them,
so I think they're going to be
a little hard to deal with.
If Missy says that, then they
must be pretty hard to deal with.
In that case, we should go
and beat them up.
Hey, guys!
Are you ready?
Yes, Young Boss
You don't have to beat them up.
Yes, Missy
Well, it's only been a week,
the students are also
trying to see through what kind of
a teacher you are.
Yeah
Everyone is rebellious at their age.
Take care.
See you, Missy
See you later.
Ogata! Honjo! Kamiya!
Good morning!
What's wrong with her? She's so
excited early in the morning.
- She's so annoying.
- Let's go.
Hey!
Hey, guys!
Wow! It flew away.
Kazama! Ichimura! Kuraki!
Hey! Good morning!
She's stayed here
longer than I thought.
I should just beat her up once.
Just ignore the teacher.
Well Hey!
Good lord, they are not amiable
at all.
I think it was somewhere near here.
I'm sorry! Are you okay?
Where were you looking
Does it hurt anywhere?
I wonder
if I'll see him today.
Good morning.
Good morning!
Good morning!
Were you waiting for someone?
Well
How should I put it
Actually, I met him here a week ago.
The man of my destiny.
- The man of your destiny
- Yes.
So you are in love?
- In love?
- Yes, if you want to put it simply.
Miss Yamaguchi met her
destiny man What is his name?
Well, I don't know.
What? You didn't ask him?
No
Unbelievable! This is ridiculous!
What?
Exactly! It's ridiculous!
It's common sense to ask the guy's
name and email address nowadays.
Common sense?
Yes, it's common sense! Yeah?
Good morning
- Good morning!
- Good morning.
- Mister Romeo!
- What?
What are you doing here?
Could that be him?
The destiny man?
Starting this year, he will be
our school doctor.
This is Dr Natsume.
School doctor
My name is Seiichi Natsume.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Kumiko Yamaguchi.
So you are a teacher here?
Yes, I'm a teacher here.
What is your relationship
with Miss Yamaguchi?
No There isn't one.
What? What do you mean?
By the way, Mr Natsume,
are you single?
Yeah.
Yes!
I'm single too!
Aoi Takano, single also!
We'll meet every day now, right?
I only come here when necessary,
like for health checks.
You can come every single day!
Get out of my way.
How old are you, Dr Natsume?
Excuse me! Your book!
You picked it up for me?
Thank you so much, Miss Yamaguchi!
Oh, no need to thank me.
Don't be a stranger!
We were destined to meet, after all.
Miss Yamaguchi, this is bad!
3D is making a fuss!
Class 3D again?
They always cause a fuss.
I think they are fighting.
What? Fighting?
What are you doing? Stop!
This is none of your business!
Don't meddle in our affairs!
Stand up!
Hey! Stop fighting! I said, stop!
Hey! Don't keep getting in our way!
Get lost!
Stop fighting!
Be quiet!
I said, stop!
You're in my way!
You jerks!
Cut it out!
If you want to fight so much,
I will fight with you!
Step outside and fight!
Miss Yamaguchi!
She's scary.
I'll fight
Ow
It must be tough for you
to deal with Class 3D every day.
You'd better slack off a bit.
Of course I can't!
Facing the students
with a serious attitude is
what a teacher should do.
I see. Face the students
with a serious attitude
Miss Aoi.
But don't be too reckless,
or you might get punched.
They don't understand
what we think anyway.
It's useless dealing with them.
How can you just give up
right from the start?
If a teacher is serious,
the students will understand.
Teachers and students
can understand each other properly.
In order to do that, I have to
work harder to be one of them.
Come on!
Out! Out!
Why did you catch it?
Don't disturb our game!
What? You're not playing?
Hey, guys!
I'm ready!
Throw it
Yes!
Can I go next?
Play it yourself.
Hey, wait a second
I'm Ritsuko Nakayama.
Want to skip school now?
I'm get sleepy
during lessons anyway.
What should we do, Yamato?
What a nuisance.
There you guys are!
Don't interrupt us
at lunch time as well!
Let's spend a moment of the precious
lunch time and have a chat, yeah?
You're so annoying!
Go elsewhere.
Hey!
She's so lame!
Kazama!
What an idiot!
She went, "Hey!"
I guess I have no choice but to get
them to do something together.
Class 3D will hold
a "kick the can" match!
What
Hey! Why do we have to do something
that kids do?
What your class needs now
is friendship
and a sense of solidarity.
To deepen them,
you have to be united.
Sweating together and uniting your
passionate hearts are important.
Of course, I'll do it with you.
It sounds stupid.
Nobody cares.
It's tiring.
And more importantly,
what is "kick the can"?
What? You don't know?
No, we don't. Right?
No, we don't
You don't know such a fun
and passionate game?
The world is going to end.
You really exaggerate
every single thing.
In "kick the can," you use
your wit and strength
to rescue your friends
from the demon.
To sum it up, it's a fight
that needs teamwork.
It is the most perfect game
for your class now.
Okay, guys, change into
your P.E. clothes
and assemble in the schoolyard!
Nobody came.
I thought my idea was good, though.
What was? High school kids escape
straight away when you look away.
Sorry, Big Bro!
No. Minoru is right.
Okay. We'll play Fruit Basket
Turnover in the classroom next time.
Yankumi!
Kuma!
- How are you?
- Hey.
Long time no see!
- I saw you the other day, though.
- What?
You were daydreaming
and just walked off.
You've found another nice guy,
haven't you?
You Well done on
getting it right!
Actually, I just met
the man of my destiny.
Wow
Missy seems to have a crush
on another guy again.
Big Bro!
Where do you teach now?
Akado Gakuin.
Oh, it's Akado?
Speaking of which, a group of bad
students from Akado walked past.
- A group of bad students?
- Yeah.
They looked like they were
ready to fight.
What?
Don't lose, Yamato!
Ren, go and attack!
You have to win!
Just knock him out.
Go
Don't lose, both of you!
Just give it your all
and burn with passion!
Fight!
Fight!
What are you doing here?
And shouldn't you be stopping us?
If you're fighting one-to-one
with your fists, I don't have to.
Fighting with fists?
Fighting without any weapons.
What, you don't know?
Of course we don't.
Anyway, I'm not stopping you,
so use all your strength to fight.
I know you two can become
real friends.
Friends?
Yeah, that's what guys
who want to be leaders are.
What friends?
You've been saying that
since the other day.
Just so you know
I'm not fighting one-to-one
with him for that.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Mr Sawatari?
Hello? Some residents
have just called us
and said a group of Akado students
have gathered at Shirokin Shrine,
and they are about
to start a rumble.
Start a rumble at Shirokin Shrine?
It has to be the students of 3D,
without a doubt.
How do they know?
It seems they've reported it
to the police.
Miss Yamaguchi,
go and stop them right now!
No, they must have gotten it wrong.
Don't talk nonsense!
The students are actually
quite lovely,
so don't worry. Bye.
The coppers are coming.
Coppers
I mean the police!
Guys, run!
Oh, no
Wait That way
I'm dying!
I can't run any more!
But what is that Yamaguchi thinking?
Indeed! What kind of teacher would
cheer on a one-to-one fight?
Someone like me.
What are you doing here again?
Stop meddling in our affairs!
Of course I can't.
I thought you and Ogata
had reconciled.
Why do you insist
on fighting one-to-one?
Is there something unsettled
between you two?
Nothing at all. But he picked
a fight, of course I have to fight.
You can just ignore him.
Then he'll look down on me!
There are only enemies and allies
in the world.
I can't let my enemy
look down on me.
Ogata isn't your enemy.
You should know that too, right?
Kazama!
Kuraki!
Actually, Ren
was bullied in primary school.
What?
So he had no choice
but to become strong.
We almost fought it out
with Ren.
That teacher is really annoying.
What "real friends"?
Don't make me laugh.
Next time, I'll beat Ren to a pulp!
Why do you need to go so far?
Why do you want to fight so much?
I can only be the best
when I fight.
What?
I suck at studying and sports.
Got a problem?
Why do you have to be the best?
Don't give me that fancy talk!
You teachers use them to rank us!
Then let me ask you.
If you want to be the best
at fighting,
you're ranking yourself too,
aren't you?
You are doing the same thing,
how can you talk so arrogantly?
Yamato
Darn!
He can only be the best
when he fights, huh?
Whether it's the best
or the worst
doesn't matter at all.
He will understand one day.
When I was around 18, winning
in fights was all I thought about.
But I guess your students
are trying desperately
to find their place like that.
Yeah
Why do you need to be the best?
Ogata isn't your enemy.
You should know that too, right?
Is it true
that nothing happened yesterday?
Yes. Nothing happened.
Miss Yamaguchi,
you should stop feigning
I am sorry. Ms Akagi,
please calm down.
I have seen many children
in the last 30 years.
It might be arrogant of me,
but you have only been a teacher
for just five, six years,
so I know a lot better about
how to educate high school students.
And my conclusion is
You have to nip it in the bud.
Never spoil the students,
and be strict with them
right from the start.
Well
With all due respect
As long as you're a teacher
in this school,
you are going to follow
my education policy.
We'll let you off this time,
but this is the last time.
What?
Miss Yamaguchi.
You let the guys of 3D go
yesterday, didn't you?
How can you prove that?
Don't feign ignorance. What was
reported to us was clear.
A group of Akado students
Oh! I think they were playing
"kick the can."
What?
Oh, you get excited
when you play that game.
You do, don't you?
I used to play that game
in primary school.
Yeah "Run, guys!"
But still
I don't think high school students
play this game.
Well, it's "red light, green light"
at most.
Red light, green light
Good morning!
Where are Ogata and Kazama?
- No idea.
- Maybe they skipped school?
Have any of you heard anything?
No, we haven't!
Well, we won't tell the teacher
even if we have!
Could they be
Let's do it.
Wait.
What?
Hey, why don't we stop?
What nonsense is that?
You can be the leader. I don't care.
But that's pointless!
If I don't win the one-to-one match
with you, I can't say I'm the best!
Being the best or leading Akado
doesn't matter to me now.
It does matter!
Stand up to me and fight!
You jerk!
Stand up!
Don't play here!
A one-to-one match
should be fought without weapons.
Whether we fight with our fists
or weapons doesn't matter.
The point is to win the fight!
You didn't stop us yesterday,
did you?
Why did you stop us today?
You didn't use weapons yesterday.
Kids nowadays have never
fought properly,
so they're reckless
and don't know when to stop.
Listen, your own fist hurts
when you punch someone.
If you know the pain, then you will
not punch someone meaninglessly.
Stop boasting!
You only fight to defeat
your opponent!
No, that's not true.
Yamato
Ren
- Who won?
- No idea.
Listen carefully.
A person can't live on his own.
You need friends in your life.
Real friends stay with you
when you are suffering,
you can whine to them
and easily let them see you cry.
They are people who were there
for you before you knew it.
You fight to protect friends like
this and what you really treasure.
It is pointless to fight
for yourself only.
Stop your fancy talk!
I'll never listen to what
you teachers say!
Ogata.
Kazama.
Listen, just don't forget this.
There's no best or worst or superior
or inferior between friends!
That doesn't matter at all!
(Kumai Ramen)
What should I do to make them
understand me?
What?
How do I get them
to accept me as their teacher?
This is so not like you to say that.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Does she work part-time?
What a pretty girl!
Oh. No, she isn't a part-time
worker. She's my wife.
Oh, your wife, huh?
What?
Your wife!
I'm Ami.
Do you remember her?
What?
Run now!
Thank you, Kuma.
It's okay.
- Momo Girls' Ami!
- Yes.
Wow! This is amazing, Kuma!
You married your first love!
Actually, our first baby
will be born soon too.
Your baby?
I'm seven months pregnant.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Wow! Really You're going to have
your own child, Kuma!
My lovely student has grown up
into such a respectable man
and is now leading his own life.
I have to thank you for that.
Why?
I am really glad that
I was your student.
So just face the students
you have now with confidence!
Kuma
You're right.
My student here is working so hard,
I shouldn't be complaining now.
It's pointless to fight
for yourself only.
Watch where you're going!
You're the one
who bumped into me, jerk!
Yamato, don't
Stop daydreaming!
- It hurts!
- Stand up! Come here!
We'll be in trouble!
- Yamato, calm down!
- Stop it!
Don't you dare be so arrogant!
You guys are pretty lively.
There is a pretty new waitress
in that family restaurant, let's go!
- Not interested.
- Yeah.
Let's go do karaoke
and sing my song
Guys!
- I think I saw Yamato.
- What?
Yamato might be strong, but he can't
possibly beat so many people!
I think we'd better call the police.
No! We'll get into trouble
with the police!
Then what do we do?
Ogata isn't your enemy.
You should know that too, right?
Kazama? What are they doing?
Ogata!
Ren!
Who the heck are you?
Run!
Don't you dare!
They went that way!
I can't run any more.
I guess it's okay now that
we've run this far.
I'll die if I run any longer!
Yeah
Are you injured?
No.
I see.
I owe you one now.
It doesn't matter.
Wait for me I ran so much
last night, my muscles hurt.
You're so lame!
Shut up. Ow
Kura, you really need to exercise.
I can't walk any more!
It's metabolic syndrome.
Who has metabolic syndrome now?
Thanks for last night.
- This is bad!
- Some scary guys have Ren!
The guys from last night, huh?
Hey, Yamato!
What should we do?
Go with him, of course!
I think scolding students
for playing pranks
without listening
to them first isn't right.
You have to find out why
they like to play pranks on you.
I think this is a teacher's job
Hey, you guys.
You should be in class
Jerks!
What? Kazama and the others?
Yeah, Yamato and his friends
dashed out after hearing that.
What?
This is really bad.
I heard that what those guys do
is really horrible.
Where are those guys?
Of course, you can just scold them,
depending on the circumstances.
But among teachers,
we should talk like adults
Miss Yamaguchi, just now
your students were running
Darn it!
If we get looked down on by
some stupid high school kids,
we'll lose our prestige!
Stop!
What's wrong with you? Only three
of you came to rescue them?
What are you, idiots?
It has nothing to do with them!
Don't touch them again!
Don't be ridiculous!
They're your friends.
They are not our friends.
Shut your nonsense!
Guys
Kamiya
Will you stop this now?
You have beaten them enough.
Yamaguchi!
Why is a teacher
Who are you?
I am their class teacher.
Teacher?
We can't count on you teachers,
that's why we're punishing them
for you.
Punishing them?
This kid picked a fight with
my friend and beat him up.
Is that true?
Yeah.
I see.
I am very sorry about what he did.
They are immature, as you can see,
so they make mistakes
and they cause trouble to others.
As their class teacher,
I am going to teach them properly
about what's right and wrong.
Please forgive them.
I beg you.
Please give them back to me.
We can't do that.
They aren't kids that listen
to what their teachers say.
We have to teach them properly
how scary we are.
If you get what I said, just go.
It seems that I can't really talk
any sense into you.
Jerk, we didn't touch you
because you're a woman,
but you're getting carried away.
Guys. Do it.
Don't mess with me!
Don't look down on me
because I'm a woman.
To protect my lovely students,
I won't go easy on you.
You jerk!
What's wrong?
You still want to fight?
You'll regret this!
Why are you so strong?
It's because I have to protect
what I care about.
You guys are idiots.
Look at how badly you got beaten up.
But it was remarkable.
Well done, boys.
Don't look down on us.
The three of them saved our lives
last night.
Well, we don't want to
owe anybody one either.
We didn't really save your lives
We only ran away together.
We looked really stupid.
But that's enough.
You were running before you knew it.
You were together
before you knew it.
And that's enough.
That's what friends do.
Okay, guys. Let's go back to school.
I know Mr Sawatari will start
shouting again, but don't worry.
I am going to protect you.
Those guys
What are you guys doing there?
We are going to play
"kick the can" with you.
What?
But
Just this once.
Guys!
You are playing with me!
- Guys!
- Hey, stop it!
Okay, let's call the rest of
the class here!
The whole of Class 3D will have
a "kick the can" game!
Yes!
That teacher is weird.
But she's kind of interesting too.
Guys! Come with me now!
Our goal is to win!
Our futures are limited anyway!
I hope he will just quit.
This is bad!
The whole of 3D have
run off somewhere!
You can start over again any time
before you know it!
But
I can't breathe.
If Ms Akagi finds out
Icchi
Don't come here.
I am waiting for you
to make that step out.
