HIGH SCHOOL BIG PANIC

University Entrance Mock Exam - Results

Good morning everyone

Today I have some very sad news

As you may have already seen
in the newspapers,

the day before yesterday,
in the afternoon,

Tanaka Shouji from the 3rd grade,
class 7, passed away.



With you I would like to offer my
deepest condolences.

It is utterly regrettable that this tragedy has
emerged from our Nakasu High School.

with its simple and sturdy tradition

Some newspapers have carried
irresponsible reports.

stating that the reason behind
Tanaka's death is due to his

poor results in the mock exam for entry
to Kyushuu University.

and the demanding nature of Nakasu High
School's education system.

which focuses upon these entrance exams

Indeed Tanaka was upset.

but there is much doubt that the pressures of
the university entrance exam.

or Tanaka's mock results were a main
factorbehind his death

Even his parents say that they do not know the
real reason behind his suicide

Therefore you should all avoid
making any careless statements

when talking to people outside of this school



Indeed, there are issues that surround
the University entrance exams,

and yes they are severe.

However, I cannot believe that
someone would end their life...

just because they have been
beaten by this!

I would like to conclude today by saying
that I hope that...

all of you students will not be distracted
by this incident.

Take care of yourhealth
and study harder

Ah... it's frnished... let's start.

Sir, this is a good time for class discussion.

I know that, but we never have anything
to discuss, so we always do maths.

Well, I think that we have got something
to talk about today!

What is it?

If it's about Tanaka, the speech made
by our Principal said it all.

What about the rest of you?

Is that... OK with everybody?

At least this time there is no harm in
talking about Tanaka, is there?

But, talking about him doesn't make
anything better.

Tanaka has lost.

Crying won't bring him back.

You must be strong and be winners in your
university entrance exams.

Solve as many maths problems as you can.

If you are careless then we will
be beaten by...

Kyugakukan High School in next year's
exam rankings.

Jono?

Jono, what is it?

It was you who killed Tanaka!

What did you say?
Why would I kill Tanaka?

You still don't get it!

I don't have time to play with an idiot.

Question 27 in your maths books.

This problem has become a
basis for questions in recent...

Kyushuu University entrance exams.
It's important.

- Mr. lhara, are you really ok?
- Oh, it's nothing.

But that quiet Jono did this?

Mr. Ogata, I think we should report this to the
Vice Principal and make an issue of it.

Hitting a Teacher, as if we were in another
violent high school -

it must not be allowed in our school.

What you are saying is right,
but Jono is not very good at maths...

and this is why he became upset and
did such a terrible thing.

But, we cannot drop our maths lecture level
just to suit a student like Jono.

It is the same with your Japanese
literature classes.

Yes, it is but...

Well, I let him off this time.

He seemed to be upset about
Tanaka's death. That Jono, eh?

Is there only death for the youth of today!?

Why did he kill himself?
I don't understand.

- Jono hit Mr. lhara!
- What?

Look, Jono did this...

Mr. lhara was bleeding from his nose.

Hey, it's Tanaka - Tanaka is in
the newspaper.

He wasn't good at maths.

I feel sorry for him,
but what he did was wrong...

CONSTRUCTION - DO NO TENTER

- Is that Baba?
- Yes.

- Finally done it!
- Yeah.

I can't stand this anymore.

I want everyone to get together
and beat up lhara.

That's not enough for me -
I want to fucking kill him!

Yeah.

lhara Die. Die!

Hello Sonny, how about it?
I'll give you Student discount!

Hakata Gun Store

Show me this one.

Well, please come over here...

What are you doing?

Thief, thief!

THIEF!

Call the police!

Sir, that boy is a student of
Nakasu high school.

- What!? Nakasu high school?
- Yes, defrnitely.

Tanaka, if you can't understand
a lecture of this level...

don't even think about getting a place
at Kyushuu University.

Everyone suffers if I drop the level
of my lectures.

This High School has a high standard
of education;

it would be pointless if we dropped
those standards!

Jukenn ko no imiga nai

Murakami...

You are on an employment course,
right?

It's because you are on this employment course,
that you don't have time to study.

- If you can't do it, stand outside.
- Yes.

Baba, did you do your preparatory study?

Yes, but...

It's impossible not to understand, if you've
really done it.

I have done it,
I just didn't understand.

It's not good enough.

If you really studied, then a student of this
high school can solve this level of problem.

You are not trash from some second-rate
high school, are you?

I am no different from them.

What is this sulky attitude of yours?!

Good. If you say you are trash...

then you must run around the school
buildings, like proper trash.

And, you must think about the problem
while you are running.

Go, quickly!

How come I have to run,
just because I'm no good at maths?

How dare you speak against your teacher!?

You're not a teacher!

You are a monster who only thinks
about maths!

You think that students who are no good
at maths are trash,

but maths is not the only thing in life.

Wait!

You told me to run!!

Hey, you! Wait!

Hello? Hello?

F x 21y

x y gxy

Yes, it is... Yes, I am Yoneshige,
the Vice Principal.

Police? Yes... what?

A Student from our school stole a rifle?

You are joking, aren't you?
It can't be.

Yes... no, surely a mistake...

Hey! Concentrate!

What are these students like Baba
and Jono thinking about?

Listen, you are at the most important
stage of your lives,

and this summer will decide your futures.

Think about your position again.

Everyone else is suffering with
the heat, too.

Well, the violent student has returned!
Where have you been?

What's wrong with not being
good at maths?!

I'll kill you!!!

What's happened?

Who... who did this?

- It was Jono!
- With a rifle!

Jono? Did Jono do this?

I can't believe it. Is it really true it was
a student from our school?

There was a call from a gun shop
It is no mistake

What does he look like?

He is approximately 1m 70cm. slim

Slim?

Vice Principal!
Something terrible has happened.

What is it?

lhara has been shot dead.
A female student also. Jono did it.

- Where?
- 3rd grade class 7. It's upstairs.

Homicide at the high school, requesting
backup team and an ambulance.

The suspect who is a student might go
over there. so stay alert

Roger that.

The suspect just fled into a school building.

You shouldn't say anything about
teacher lhara yet.

I have to speak calmly - calmly...

- Information to all the teachers...
- Oh - the switch, the switch!

Message to all teachers... all teachers report
to the staff room immediately.

For the students: all the students must
remain in your class rooms.

You must not go outside your class room
Do you understand? I repeat

Everyone understand?

Stay in class and study for yourselves

Don't go outside

Hurray!!!

Hey! Do you remember there was a call that
said a bomb had been planted?

This must be it!

I... am trash, I... am trash...

Hey, Jono, you...

What's wrong with not being good
at maths!? I'll kill you!!!

Kids today... I'll fucking kill him!
I'll fucking kill him!

He is underage.

We are not allowed to fire a shot,
unless in extreme circumstances.

I know that, Sir, but...
I'll fucking kill him!

Hey, Baba. What the hell are you doing here?
Get out! Get out!

Where is the injured person?

We took her to the sickbay.

You haven't found him yet?
No, Sir.

- Crime scene is 3rd grade,
class 7, right? - Yes, Sir.

- Get up there and take charge.
- Yes, Sir.

Everyone, calm down.

Detectives, detectives...

Quickly!

This is Jono's desk...

Let's begin the evacuation from
the music room,

and then each classroom on
the third floor.

Teachers, please avoid confusion and
keep them in order.

Hold on a moment...

I'm Kurita, Chief of Special Investigations from
the prefectural police department,

and this is senior staff, Kojima.

From now on,
I am in charge of the situation.

Kobayashi, the Principal.

Yoneshige, the Vice Principal.

Until we know where Jono is,
delay the evacuation.

Mr. Kurita, we are in a situation in which there might be
another victim if we don't evacuate the students.

We teachers put students' lives first, and...

Where is the desk of the murdered teacher?

This is it.

What is this Jono like?
Any record of drug use?

No, absolutely not.

This school is one of the frnest schools in
the prefecture, with a long tradition.

Attention all students: there is a student
carrying a gun within the school.

He is extremely dangerous...

but as long as you stay in your classrooms,
there is no danger to you.

Until your home room teacher comes to get you,
do not leave your class rooms.

I repeat...

That's him! Chase him!

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

This way!

Let me go!

- Where is he?
- In the Lady's room.

Is there anyone in there?

Suspect is currently in the Lady's room,
on the first floor.

Lady's Room

h er e
r r

Alright, contain him in that restroom,
and rescue the hostage.

Teacher, let students in this part of the
second floor evacuate first.

Be very careful - don't let any harm
come to the students.

I'll fucking kill you!

That fucking kid!
I'll fucking kill him!

Jono! Stop!

The suspect attempted to shoot
some students.

Detective Hirose was left with
no choice but to shoot.

The suspect seemed to suffer a leg wound.

We are facing the suspect in the corridor
on the third floor

Between us and the suspect.
there are a few students

Alright, our priority here is to
rescue the students,

and then contain the suspect.

Did he shoot Jono?

He was left with no choice.

You don't plan to kill him, do you?

Principal, Jono killed Mr. lhara,
and seriously injured a police offrcer.

If a student got killed in our school,

it would become a huge issue and our school's
tradition and reputation would be ruined.

- Tradition and reputation?
- Yes, tradition and reputation.

Principal, at the moment in this school...

a crazy gun-wielding lunatic is running around inside
the school, where it should be peaceful!

A murder has occurred. Furthermore,
it was a student who murdered his teacher.

I am responsible for all the events
in this school.

I'm not talking about who is responsible.

At this moment,
our priority is to catch the suspect.

Kojima, contact headquarters.
And, call Jono's parents.

The suspect has started to shoot again
We're pinned down!

- What are you doing?
- What if we hit the other students?

This is Yamauchi. please respond
What should we do?

Shoot him; our priority is to rescue
the students.

Roger

Hello? Is this the Chief?

Kurita. What's happening?

I request the special armed force.
I think they're better equipped to deal with this.

Very well. But make your decision
carefully on the scene.

Be careful and watch your step.

Don't shoot!

Don't come near me!

Let's go.

Get out of my way!

Quick. quick!

It's crazy, everyone is crazy...

How many people are there
in the library?

8 or 10... I don't know.

You don't know!?

I heard the announcement, but I thought it was
about the heat, so I didn't think about it...

There's an emergency stairwell
at the back, right?

Yes, but it's closed at certain times,
and the key to the door has been lost.

The fire brigade said if the door is locked,
it doesn't work as an emergency exit.

- So it won't open, right?
- Yes, it's made of thick iron.

Get out. Go!

The TV crew is here...

Teacher! Call an ambulance.

Has he been a good student?

He is not the kind of person who
would do this.

He was a quiet person;
no one really noticed him.

But he's done this, so there must be
something different about him.

Well, our school doesn't have school trips,

but Jono said that we should have them,
and got told off by a teacher.

Was he close to Tanaka, who committed suicide?

We never saw them talking together.

He is trying to be cool,
and we are suffering for it.

I think he's gone crazy because
of this heat.

But he can relax now, 'cause he doesn't
need to take the entrance exam!

Perhaps if Mr. lhara had let us talk about Tanaka when
Baba mentioned it, this wouldn't have happened.

But the lecture is more important than what
happened to Tanaka.

Mr. lhara was unlucky.

It's not about luck; Jono is to blame.

Violence is not acceptable!

But without Mr. lhara, our school's grades
will drop quite a lot.

Our pass rate for the Kyushuu University
entrance exam...

might be beaten by Shugakukan.

Jono... what did you do?

I fucking killed lhara!

You're joking, right?

What's so funny!?

Did Yasuhiro do something bad?

I'll tell you about that on the way.
Please come with me.

Please wait a moment, I need to get ready.

Madam, there is no time for that.
We are in a hurry.

Is it true?

Well, your son stole a rifle and shot
a school teacher.

What? What happened!?

He is barricading himself in the
school building.

We want you two to persuade him
to give himself up.

Offrcer, what happened to the teacher?

e d ed
r r

This can't be true.

Quick, let's go.

Baba, I heard you're...

on the same track team as Jono
and you're his only friend, right?

Could you persuade him to give
himself up?

I beg you.

Yeah - if Jono keeps resisting,
things could get even worse.

You are the only chance we've got.
Please...

I can't do it.

Why? Are you not friends?

Friends... you say, but since we started
third grade, we've hardly talked.

But... but now, I totally understand.

Yes, you understand.

No! What I mean is...

I would have...
I would have... done the same thing!

Well, he can't help us.

Detective... I will give it a try.

It is my responsibility as the guidance councillor
of this high school. I'll try.

Jono, can you hear me?

We won't shoot you,
so drop your gun and come out.

What you have done - your parents, teachers
and your friends are worried,

but if you come out soon.
everything will be OK

Jono, you can trust us -

drop your gun, release the hostages,
and come out quickly.

Yabachi, this teacher will replace you.

Jono, this is Ogata.

I understand that you didn't like
Mr. lhara,

but you have committed a very serious crime.

Don't you think you should atone for
this crime like a man?

If you do that, your reasons will...

Help!!!

Stop that!!!

Let me go... let me go!

Boss, there has been an incident at
the emergency stairs.

You teachers, please come with us.

- Are you alright?
- Call an ambulance!

Hold on! Is she alright?

What a terrible thing! Miss Yoshike,
Miss Yoshike, can you hear me?

Special Armed Force, respond.

Yes, Special Armed Force responding.

We have arrived at the back entrance of the
High School. Ready and waiting.

Good, be ready and wait for my word.

Roger

Jono, please listen to me...

With you - I think it was last summer -

we drank together and you told
me your troubles.

It's not too late; let's talk about
what you are going to do.

If you atone for your crime there may
be mitigating circumstances.

You are still young and have a
bright future.

Jono. do you understand what
I am saying? Do you?

h s ay

Jono's parents have arrived.

We are so sorry...

I understand how you feel, but at the moment
your son is in a state of hysteria.

Talk to him as parents... please!

I'm not good at talking...
you should do it!

No, you should!

You fool, quick!

Yasuhiro

Yasuhiro... can you hear me?

Your mother and father are here

Please, please come out quickly.

Please give yourself up!

If you don't, your mother and father
can't face the world!

We can't live!

Yasuhiro. release yourfriends. please
What have you done?

You may have some frustrations.

our company home is small compared
to your friends'.

I'm sorry you don't even have
a study room

but soon we will ask the company
to expand our home.

And for your lunch I will buy you
a better lunchbox,

so you can take a warm meal and
soup with you to school

And you said that you wanted...
What was it?

Yasuhiro, do you understand what
you are doing now?

You can't escape from here!

Come out now,
give yourself up like a man,

apologise to the world and
receive your penalty.

If you can't do this you are
not a man!

Shut Up!!!

Go home... please go home!

Why did you come to this High School?

To go to Kyushuu University?

If you can't do maths,
then that would be a joke! Quit now!

Shut Up!!!

Let's give him some time to cool down.

Kojima, take the parents downstairs.

Yasuhiro! Yasuhiro!

- Look after them. I will stay here.
- Okay.

hm do

He fired on his own parents!

He is completely insane.

The police must be thinking about a
last resort strategy.

Can you allow such a measure?
And you call yourself an educator?!

You seem to think that Jono deserves to be killed.
Such an idea is ludicrous!

I don't know if it is ridiculous or not but
in reality he killed lhara,

seriously injured a police offrcer
and a fellow student!

That's right! In the first place,
you are opposed to our schools education policy...

which focuses on the University entrance exam,
in which lhara believed strongly.

Indeed, but because of this incident our
education policy comes into question.

That's why we need to catch Jono alive...

and ask him the reason why he did this,
so we can learn from it.

Jono... stop this meaningless act
and let us go.

It's because you're not good at maths
that you're doing all this?

Why did you get me involved?

Mr. lhara taught us very well and he
was a good, reliable teacher.

You killed such a good teacher!

If I don't get into Kyushuu University,
it's all your fault!

You don't understand anything
about me!!

Want me to fucking kill you too?

Female students Tokuda and
Murakami are still...

- OK, two female students, right?
- Yes.

This is Yamauchi...
This is Yamauchi...

At this time, the suspect has barricaded
himself into the library...

on the third floor, with two female
students as hostages.

There are no new developments to report,
with the situation at stalemate.

However, for this sad tragedy to occur
in such a reputable high school,

one of the frnest high schools
in the prefecture,

makes us consider the possible flaws
in the education system.

A student shot a teacher in the classroom -
this is never heard of! How disgraceful!

This is all because of those red teachers,

who worship false post-war 'democratic
education'.

They allow students to enjoy freedom
for nothing...

and this is the result of immersing themselves
in the red politics of their youth!

Hey, shut it! In my house there is a
sick relative, so be quiet!

Shut up you! We are not just talking about
trivial personal issues!

Whether my sick Grandmother
lives or dies...

is much more important than 'democratic
education' or reds!

What did you say?!

The school gate has been closed
by riot police

because of the mounting number
of reporters here

There has been a small scuffle between
journalists and riot police

On the other hand it has been five minutes
since the last gunshots

There have been an increasing number
of onlookers arriving

Hey... listen to me everyone!

Today's youth are no good because
they don't run.

Look at me. Building a brighter town
through running!

When you run, a fountain of life
springs forth!

It's because they are always sitting behind a desk
that this kind of thing happens!

You are an idiot!

You can't get into University just by running!
You have too much free time.

What is more important?
University or building a brighter town?

If you fail your entrance exam...

and have to scrape around to frnd another university,
your future is frnished!

Running can't help!
You have too much free time.

You dare to... contradict my beliefs?!

You do not know the purpose or motivation
of the suspect, right?

Not yet. There is no evidence of organised
crime or drug use,

but there is obviously something that
has triggered this.

- Did he make any demands?
- No.

The suspect is an underage high school student.

Are you considering shooting the suspect...

as happened in the 'Seajack' and the
'Nagasaki Busjack' incidents?

At the moment our priority is
to save lives.

We will try our best to persuade
him to surrender.

We are not thinking about anything else
at this time. That's all.

This heat is killing me!

Could you open the curtain?

What the hell are you doing?!

water!

What are you going to do?

I'll run!

You can't escape.

I will. If I say so, I will!

Jono, you must be hungry.

We will bring you some food,
but don't shoot.

I don't want to eat anything!

Mr. Kurita, I have a favour to ask.

What is it?

I want to replace the hostages.

Replace them?

But do you think he will agree?

Yes, I have talked to Jono about his
problems a few times in the past.

I think that if I ask him,
he may listen to me.

Mr. Ogata, if you do this,
it might provoke Jono again.

But if something happens to the hostages,
that would be a disaster.

- You're right, but...
- OK then, let's try this.

Jono, this is Mr. Ogata.
How are you doing?

I have a favour to ask; listen carefully.

I'd like to come over there and
become your hostage,

in exchange for the two female students.

Hey, can you hear me?

Your hostages must be feeling weak:
you should let them go.

Are you ready? I'm coming;
I am alone and unarmed.

If you agree,
why don't you answer me?

You don't reply,
so you must agree, right?

OK, I'm coming!

That kid, I hate him!
It doesn't matter now! I'll kill him!

He came to this place to get
into University...

and he has abandoned the most
important thing: his education!!

He should never have come here
in the first place!

I am the mother of Murakami Miyoko.
Is my daughter still alive?

We can assure you that we will get
her back unharmed.

I am the father of Tokuda Naomi.

Your daughter is alive and well too.

I am totally relying on you -
please take care of it.

Please come this way.

Principal, I know my occupation is questionable,
but I trusted this school.

- My trust has been betrayed!
- Sorry, madame, but we are doing our best.

I cannot believe this!
Sorry solves nothing!

Excuse me,
why don't we talk to my son again?

You're the suspect's parents,
aren't you?

He has two parents and he
turns out like this!

You should apologise to him
unreservedly!

What are you going to do if something
happens to her?

There is a new development. We will let you know
more as soon as we get all the details...

Have located suspect. He has a hostage
and is proceeding to the back gate.

OK, move along the back fence
and meet us.

Report this to the riot police, but don't let him
get outside of the school's perimeter.

Are you OK?

Wait... Take her to her father.

Safe? Safe and well?!

Where is my daughter?

The suspect has entered a building
on the roof.

I repeat. the suspect has entered
a building on the roof

What? A building on the roof?

Yes. Sir

That building is a science lab.

There are many dangerous
chemicals in there, so please hurry.

To the roof immediately!

Miyoko... where is my Miyoko?

Special Armed Unit...

Receiving you, over.

The suspect has entered a science lab
on the roof.

Get up there immediately and stand by.

Suspect has one hostage,
a female student.

Roger

Excuse us, please excuse us -
my daughter is very tired.

We shall hold a press conference
at my company later on.

Nami, hang in there, Nami!

- Is that it?
- Yes.

Aren't you scared?

No... because it has got nothing
to do with me.

Nothing to do with you?

You were singing in the classroom, earlier.

It was in the maths class...

It was a broken word

It was a broken crest of a wave

It was a broken red umbrella

Cigarette?

You often ran on your own,
didn't you?

You shouldn't have stopped.

Why?

No reason...

You can't escape anymore.

I don't care anymore.

In the end I'll kill myself anyway.

I don't think you should pretend
to be something you're not.

I'm not pretending!

The Yamagasa Festival starts soon...

It will be so busy.
I really like it.

I really like the masculinity of
this festival.

But you won't be there, as you need to prepare
for next year's entrance exams.

I will!

es

Get down!

What is it?

On top of that roof there are
policemen with rifles.

Smoke! Smoke!

Call the Fire Brigade!

My daughter...
My daughter is in there!

Special Armed Force...
Special Armed Force...

Receiving. over

Can you see inside?

At the moment we cannot see anything,
because of the smoke.

OK, when you see him...
take him out.

Roger that.

Jono, come out quickly -
you'll be burned to death!

ey !

This is Mizoguchi This is Mizoguchi
Please respond

What happened?

Mistaken identity; we shot the hostage.

OK, hold your fire, fall back and
report to the chief.

All personnel on the roof:
storm the building!

Let me go! Let me go!
Let me go!

I've got a University entrance exam
next year!

There are going to be radio lectures!

Let me go!

There are going to be radio lectures!
There are going to be radio lectures!

I have an entrance exam next February!

Murakami's mother will hate us
if she frnds out.

It's over.

Miyoko, why did you alone have to suffer
such a terrible fate?

What am I going to do...

on my own?

Miyoko!

- Yoneshige...
- Yes?

- What... time is it?
- Well, er...

Tomorrow, we can continue our classes
as normal, can't we?

Yes, Sir.

Everything we have worked for up
until this day is ruined.

Yasuhiro... will he ever get a job?

It's going to be alright.

We've got to make it right...

I've got an entrance exam!

There will be radio lectures!

There will be radio lectures!

I've got an entrance exam next year!

I've got an entrance exam
next February!
