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!
