Gokusen (2002) s03e09 Episode Script

1
Good morning.
Good morning
The season for giving
the third year students
guidance on their future
courses has come.
I know it's tough on you teachers,
but please do your best.
We will
It's time to give them
guidance now, huh?
The year has passed so quickly.
It's like we have only just welcomed
the new students.
Graduation time rushes up while
we're busy doing this and that.
Somehow I get teary
just imagining this.
It makes me want to cry too.
Well, if we can hold this graduation
ceremony without mishap,
it will be great, don't you think?
Oh. Sure?
Don't give me that.
Do you know
your own class's situation?
There's need to worry
about my class.
I've managed to make them
a lot more organized lately.
They participated in the ball game
tournament and culture festival too.
They've been doing their best.
We have to thank Miss Yamaguchi
for her guidance.
No, you're surely exaggerating.
That's not my point!
Every other class has submitted
their future course surveys,
except yours.
At this rate, all the students in 3D
will have no future plans!
Sure.
Lately, the number of high school
students who
don't continue their studies or find
a job has increased sharply!
But before that,
they have to be able to
graduate first.
Sorry, I'll go to my desk now.
Excuse me.
They can!
Oh, you are very confident.
Don't let them skip school so often
that they have to repeat a year.
Well, good luck with that then.
Right, I'll do my very best!
Has he gone?
Mr Ushijima, please give these
to Ms Akagi.
Okay.
Right, next week,
a meeting will be held to offer you
guidance on your future courses.
You should think seriously about
what you intend to do after this.
Future courses, huh?
Both graduating and not graduating
is such a nuisance somehow.
Why don't we just repeat the year?
Yeah! But we want Aoi to be
our class teacher!
Agreed!
Yes! Our whole class
will repeat the year together!
You can't do that
Guys, this isn't the right time
to be making jokes.
If you want to graduate,
you have to work hard to not be late
or leave early or skip school.
Many of you barely attend school
for the required number of days.
And you're late right after
I said that?
Sorry.
Hamaguchi, Yamamoto, Ohira,
Murayama, Yoshida!
You've been late and skipping school
more often lately.
All right.
Okay.
Good lord!
And those who haven't submitted
their future course survey,
make sure you submit it today.
Future course survey?
We didn't get it.
Of course you did.
I gave it to you guys last week.
Did you forget to give it to me?
- Honjo.
- What?
Oh. Here it is.
Hey!
I didn't see it!
My head hurts
Do you have a cold?
No, this problem I have with
my students is on my mind, so
You really get so enthusiastic when
it concerns your students.
Well, that's
The more kids need to be taken
care of, the lovelier they are.
3D really does need to be
taken care of.
High school students lately are
totally different from us.
Oh, I want to go back
to being a high school student.
Same here.
Do you really?
I was the most popular girl
back then.
I had a boyfriend in every class.
Wow!
The first time I had a boy confess
his love for me was
when I was in 10th Grade.
Is that so?
I used to be surprisingly popular
as well.
Babarin, the girls used to call me.
Oops. Excuse me.
Well, you can call me Babarin
from now on.
What were you like when you were
in high school, Dr Natsume?
I was pretty ordinary.
I was student council president,
so I had to do many things.
- Student council president
- Yes.
And did you wear a traditional
Japanese uniform school?
Yes, I did.
- You're so cool!
- President!
Good morning.
How wonderful
You all have good memories about
your high school life.
When I just entered high school,
the third year's leader told me to
engage in a duel by the riverside.
- Riverside?
- A duel?
I mean, to get engaged
They bought it?
When you were in high school?
Yes.
At the riverside?
Yes!
Okada wants to go
to a vocational school?
Katayama wants to find a job.
Murayama's survey is blank?
Ohira's too?
The five of them gave me back
blank surveys.
(Hiroto Ikeda: Housewife)
(Yuya Okuma: Prince Charming)
(Ryusuke Ashida: Pirate)
(Ryotaro Katsura: President)
What the heck do they think
their futures are?
What's the matter, Missy?
Calm down!
Sorry, I was beside myself
(Yamato Ogata)
Stop worrying about other people
and find yourself a husband.
Darn that Ogata!
How dare you mess with me!
What's the matter?
Well I just felt a chill,
like a murderous intent.
What's that about?
Hey, I think I saw Murayama
and the gang.
Good evening
You're late.
Glad you made it.
- Who's this guy?
- No idea.
Oh, no! It's so late already.
Let's go home now.
- Wait
- What
- Where is the bronze statue there?
- It's gone!
Excuse me.
What happened?
Something horrible has happened.
So the rumor is true!
Rumor?
This is absurd!
Of course it can't be true.
What rumor?
You don't know?
It's the mythical legend
of Akado Gakuin.
What?
It has been passed down
from the past.
It's about the bronze statue
of the school's founder.
- It walks when it gets dark?
- Yeah.
That's absurd, right?
It's true.
Wait a second.
A senior once told me
that the statue's hair starts
to grow when it gets dark!
And I heard that the statue's head
turns around in the night.
It has to be fake, no matter
what you think.
But two second year table tennis
club members actually saw it!
They said the bronze statue
walked
and stood in the middle of
the hallway!
- Seriously?
- That's scary!
It really is scary!
The bronze statue walked?
What the heck?
This is too frightening!
Wait. Yankumi, are you scared?
Of course I'm not!
I was just acting a bit
when you were telling the story.
Did you take me seriously?
I got you guys?
I'm sure that she was scared.
Impossible.
You can only deceive children,
of course I don't buy it
Oh, no? Did I go too far?
What idiots.
Hey, Ren Are we really
going there?
Of course we are!
Akado Gakuin's mythical legend.
I have to see if it's true or not
with my own eyes!
- Yes!
- Hey!
I brought a camera!
I've got a torch!
And I've got this!
Somehow this is getting
more and more interesting!
I told you, right?
Sorry to have kept you waiting!
I've got us some late night snacks.
Do you think that
we're going hiking?
Guys.
Look at them.
Murayama and his gang?
- They didn't come to school today.
- No.
Hey
Hey, guys. Why did you skip school?
Well We had something to do.
What about you?
We're going to find the answer
to the legend of Akado. Right?
We're sneaking into the school
to take photos of the
walking bronze statue!
Why don't you come with us?
It's going to be fun!
No. We can't afford to do anything
so childish.
- We are busy.
- Yeah.
See you
They didn't have to put it
like that.
Good evening
Hey, let's go.
When did they start hanging out
with those guys?
I've never seen them before.
It was the gravest blunder
in my life.
I had no idea that Akado Gakuin has
such a frightening legend!
Missy's weakness is surprising.
Yeah, it's just like
an ordinary girl's weakness.
Sorry, Missy!
It's making me feel a bit depressed
about going to school tomorrow.
Yankumi!
Oh, Kuma!
Hey, Kuma.
How is your baby?
She's good, thanks.
Would you like to see
the photo I took last week?
Sure
Look.
She's adorable
She is even more adorable now.
- Is she?
- Wow!
I'll take one today
and send it to your phone.
Really?
I'll use it as my desktop.
- She looks just like you.
- Yeah, well, she is my daughter.
Oh?
My cell phone's not here.
Did I forget it at school?
Are we all here?
Are we ready?
Hey, Yamato, don't get scared
and run away halfway through.
I am not running away!
Hey What is that?
What? It's for warding off evil.
No But it's pointless.
- Sorry, I got more snacks
- Shut up
Okay, let's do this!
The operation to find the answer
to Akado's legend!
Let's do our best
Why is the school so scary at night?
I should have
asked Tetsu or Minoru
to come with me.
Gosh!
What the heck?
Seriously?
It really is gone.
That means
the bronze statue walks?
No That's impossible.
Buthow do you explain this?
What was that noise?
Don't tell me
Don't push!
Sorry, I drank too much juice,
I had to go to the restroom.
It was difficult to pee,
like something sweet came out
I remember I put it here
Found it!
It's all right.
There's nothing here
Don't come in
Yankumi?
It's you guys!
What are you doing here so late?
What? We came to see
the walking statue.
It is just a rumor!
But the statue really disappeared.
What?
A walking bronze statue?
No way It's impossible!
Hey, guys!
Hey!
Statue
No!
What are you doing here,
Miss Yamaguchi?
Who are you?
It's a certificate of appreciation
from the police.
- This is amazing!
- Well done!
- Brilliant!
- Thank you, guys!
Amazing!
Guys, let's take a photo!
The thief was the infamous
school robber!
I heard that he only stole medals.
But what a surprise! It's our
school's most brilliant achievement!
It really is brilliant!
You're exaggerating.
I am.
I see Class 3D in a new light now.
- By the way, Miss Yamaguchi.
- Yes?
Why were you at school
at such a late hour?
Oh. I forgot my phone here
and I came back to get it.
So why were you guys here
at such a late hour?
Wellwe just
came to get our cell phonestoo.
Your whole class?
Well, I think that's what it means?
Yeah, it is
Yeah
Mr Sawatari, the school just has to
grant them some money.
There won't be any.
- Guys, have you got your cups?
- Yes
Ready
Cheers
- Hey, latecomers.
- You guys are late.
What the heck?
- Look!
- Don't be surprised!
We caught a thief at school
last night!
It just happened suddenly
for some reason.
It's the most brilliant achievement
in Akado's history!
Isn't this awesome?
You guys should've come with us.
Exactly! It was so much fun!
You really missed something!
Whatever. We don't care at all.
- We're not kids anymore.
- What?
- How dare you say that?
- Wait
Anyway, let's make a toast.
- I don't want to.
- It's Yankumi's treat
I said I don't want to!
Why are you guys trying to
pick a fight with us?
We're not trying to pick a fight.
You guys just got overexcited.
Don't get jealous just because
you weren't there.
- I am not jealous!
- You jerk!
Stop it
How dare you!
What are you guys doing?
Stop! Stop it!
Stop fighting! Can you not hear me?
Step away!
I said, step away!
What on earth were you doing?
Explain yourselves!
I don't know!
Ask them!
What's the matter with you guys?
If you want to say something,
just say it.
You are friends in the same class!
Friends?
But we're only going to be
with them until we graduate.
What?
We have other friends too.
Let's go.
Hey! Where are you going?
Darn!
They just took it out on us!
This is nonsense.
What on earth happened to them?
I've been looking for you.
Will you tell me the reason?
There isn't one.
You don't want to tell me?
I won't ask you, then.
But do come back to school!
You have to decide what you're
going to do after you graduate,
and it's a critical time right now.
It doesn't matter!
You've been late and skipping school
so often lately
Is what you've been doing
the reason for that?
We got tired of school.
What?
It's annoying to study,
and the guys in our class
are just kids too.
Hey!
Who the heck is she?
Oh. She's our teacher.
Oh.
We'll go without you.
Okay
Are they the friends you mentioned?
- Yes, so what?
- Got a problem?
No.
If they're friends that you can
open up to
and tell them anything,
then I won't say a word.
Do you think that way about them
wholeheartedly?
Who we hang out with outside school
is none of your business.
I hope
that your whole class
can graduate together.
We can't afford to pretend
to be friends with them forever!
We'll go our own ways
after we graduate anyway!
See you.
Hey
Come to school tomorrow.
We're waiting for you!
Maybe they won't come to school
for a while.
They won't anymore.
Somehow
I think they have a reason.
What's the point of knowing that?
What? So we just ignore them?
They were the ones
who picked a fight.
I thought the class
had become a good one.
It never occurred to me
that their friendship would be
ruined by something so trivial.
Isn't it too early to assume
that it is ruined?
I think your students are still
at a loss about what to do.
Yes, they must be.
They're young, so of course
they're worried about many things.
To boys of their age,
one year weighs as much as
five, six years of an adult's life.
In your life, sometimes
you make a mistake
just because you went astray a step.
But you don't really realize it
when you're doing it.
Especially when you are young.
And making them realize that
is your job, isn't it?
Good morning.
They aren't here, like I thought.
Of course they wouldn't come, right?
Please do me a favor.
It can be anything,
if you know about the guys
Murayama's group hang out with,
or if they've told you something,
please tell me.
At this rate,
they might really quit school.
I want to bring them back
to school again.
They won't come again.
They said they wouldn't be friends
with us after we graduate anyway.
Yeah.
But still, they are your friends,
aren't they?
But this isn't compulsory education,
so they're free to choose whether
they come to school or not.
Yeah, they're responsible
for themselves.
Just ignore those
self-centered guys.
We can't just ignore them!
I care about them as my students,
just like you guys!
Sure, you'll all live your own lives
after you graduate,
some people might think that you
just happened to be classmates.
But you can't experience the time
you've spent here anywhere else!
The friends you made here might
become your treasure for life!
Honjo, when you had your trouble,
they worked part-time so hard
to raise money for you!
Shut up.
During the Akado Cultural Festival,
they worked together with you
to restore the wrecked classroom!
You can fight if you want,
friends don't just hang out
and have fun together.
You tell each other
whatever you want to say,
and deepen your friendships
after that. That's possible too.
Actually
I
Murayama told me not to say this
But when they went to
Kanpachi Construction
to get leaflets about
the jobs there,
someone said something horrible
just because they're from Akado.
Thank you
Akado Gakuin, huh?
That's the school idiots go to,
right?
Well, your efforts will be useless,
but go ahead and apply if you want.
Good luck, young men.
I see
People said that to them
But it has nothing to do with this.
We're all used to it
when people say that.
They're too weak!
Yes, you guys are right.
The attitude they took
is wrong, indeed.
But you guys too
must have once hated
your environment
and wanted to escape to
a different place as well, right?
You guys too
could have been one of that gang.
I kind of understand
what Yamaguchi's saying.
Me too.
Hey.
Just leave us alone.
I can't do that.
You boys are still my students.
Keep watch here and make sure
nobody comes.
Okay
Thank you, old man!
How much is there?
You are really annoying!
People often say that.
Come to school tomorrow.
We'll be waiting for you.
You jerk! How dare you talk back
like that to me!
I'm sorry, please spare my life!
Please!
Stand up!
Stand up!
Wait!
What?
Aren't you taking it a bit too far?
He is still one of us.
One of us?
That's a nice choice of words!
If they are friends that
you can really open up to,
and tell anything to,
then I won't say anything.
Do you think that way about them
wholeheartedly?
Come to school tomorrow.
We'll be waiting for you!
Miss Yamaguchi
Are you going to try
and persuade them again?
Yeah.
But isn't it useless to force them
to come back?
Miss Yamaguchi.
It's no use talking to them.
Exactly.
You don't have to work
so hard alone.
The things that the school can do
are limited.
The five of them seem to be
hanging out with some bad guys.
Before they cause any problems,
why don't we let them
quit school voluntarily?
Either way, they won't be here
in a few months.
Isn't that the reason why
we should teach them now?
If we abandon them now,
it's obvious that they will be
dragged down the wrong path.
So while they are still
students at our school,
there are many things
that we should teach them.
I wonder if Yankumi is going to
look for them again today.
I think so.
Guys!
We found out about those guys that
Murayama's group hang out with!
What?
A man called Shibayama
leads the gang.
Shibayama?
- You've heard of him?
- Yeah.
He is pretty dangerous.
Since he left reformatory school,
the police have their eye on him.
- Seriously?
- What should we do?
Should we go?
Let's go!
Let's go
Shibayama threatens people
frequently to give him money
and the police have got
their eye on him.
I heard that he uses Shirokin Town's
warehouse as his hideout.
Shirokin Town's warehouse
Okay. Thank you.
Missy.
Please be careful.
Yeah.
Ogata?
Our whole class seem to be heading
to Shirokin Tunnel.
What?
I think they've called
Murayama's group out.
What?
Hey.
Long time no see.
What do you want to talk about?
Come back to school.
We're all waiting for you.
You guys really are going to
repeat the year at this rate.
Guys
I thought you were angry with us?
We don't mind that now.
Those guys aren't friends, right?
Just leave them.
No, you can't do that.
What do you want my friends for?
Yamaguchi!
Guys
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Hey
They
They were taken away
Sorry.
We were trying to
bring them back, but
I see
I see
Murayama and his group
tried to protect us.
That guy is dangerous.
Darn him!
I won't forgive him!
We've been looking after
you guys so much.
Why did you do this?
I'm sorry
Please let us leave!
We
We want to return to school!
It's too late to spew that nonsense!
School is pointless!
Stand up, jerk
Please let us go back to school!
Please let us
We want to go back!
Stop beating up my students!
What?
It's the teacher from the other day?
Give me back my precious students.
If you don't want to suffer,
then get lost.
You are the one
who is going to suffer.
How dare you!
There are still many things
for them to learn at school.
I cannot let them go astray
into a place like this!
Shut up!
Darn you!
I'll fight with you
if you're serious.
But brace yourself for it.
To protect my students,
I won't go easy on you!
You jerk!
Shut up!
Darn!
You jerk!
Guys
Goodness me
How much do you need
to be taken care of?
Hey, Yankumi!
Guys, are you okay?
Can you stand up?
Just look.
Look at the way they are now,
and they did this for you guys.
They are all worried about you guys.
Wholeheartedly.
You get it, right?
Listen, guys.
Not only nice things will happen
to you in your lives in the future.
There might be things
that make you frustrated.
But remember this when that happens.
You have friends who would risk
their lives to help you.
You have friends
that will rush to your side without
thinking about the consequences.
You guys have gained
the treasure of your lives.
Sorry!
Sorry
Sorry
Sorry!
Can you stand?
Hey, don't make us worry!
Good morning!
Good morning.
My goodnessYou guys
really worried us.
But
Finally, everyone is here.
The five of them returned.
So it seems.
How did they get them back?
How do I know?
But more importantly,
why are they all injured?
Okay, guys, listen!
You are only standing on
the starting line.
From now on, go forward
into the bright future!
A bright future is good,
but before that, we should first
graduate normally.
He's right.
I was just going to say that!
Okay, guys!
Our whole class
will graduate together!
I'll live for romance!
This is bad!
Yamato's dad brought in
a notice of withdrawal!
Shut up! It's none of your business.
All the students in 3D are gone?
We want our whole class
to graduate together.
Everybody is overcoming
many difficulties to survive.
There is one thing
that you should know.
- Let go!
- Stop it!
I want to tell them that there are
many possibilities in life.
