Battle Royale Page #2

Synopsis: Forty-two students, three days, one deserted Island: welcome to Battle Royale. A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are each given a bag with a randomly selected weapon and a few rations of food and water and sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred (with a few minor rules) game to the death, which means that the students have three days to kill each other until one survives--or they all die. The movie focuses on a few of the students and how they cope. Some decide to play the game like the psychotic Kiriyama or the sexual Mitsuko, while others like the heroes of the movie--Shuya, Noriko, and Kawada--are trying to find a way to get off the Island without violence. However, as the numbers dwell down lower and lower on an hourly basis, is there any way for Shuya and his classmates to survive?

You probably guessed, but our new

transfers are a little dangerous.

Girl #14 Tendo.

Boy #15 Nanahara.

Nanahara!

l'll wait for you...

Nanahara...

What happened...?

What am l going to do...?

What is this...?

Tendo!

Don't, Nakagawa!

Sh*t, what am l doing?

What are you doing...?

ls this yours?

No way...!

Boy #1 Akamatsu,

Girl #14 Tendo - dead

- ls your arm OK?

- l just had to get out of there.

Show it to me.

lt's just a scratch.

l'll wash off the blood.

What's this?

l can't fight with a pot lid!

This is mine...

Those bastards... Goddamn it!

Maybe Mimura and Sugimura

and us could all escape.

- l don't think so.

- Why not?

You won't like me for saying this

but l don't trust any of them either.

Noriko, Noriko!

Shorty, ugly, die!

"Noriko, shorty, ugly, die!"

- What about me?

- What?

Are you scared of me too?

You're the only one l trust, Shuya.

Oh, l'm sorry.

Why?

l called you Shuya, just like Nobu...

Nobu...

Hey, Shuya?

Do you have a crush

on anyone at the moment?

Why? Do you?

Maybe l kind of like someone...

Who?

Noriko Nakagawa.

- From our class?

- Yeah.

Yeah, she's nice.

You agree?

She's really sweet.

She wrote to me saying,

"Come back to school.

"Let's all go

on the school trip together."

Even if she didn't really mean it...

lt's nice to have someone

waiting for you.

We were roommates

in the foster home after Dad died.

When l was depressed

after l quit baseball

he taught me the guitar.

l had to invite him...

No, he was happy he came back.

Really happy...

But l couldn't help Nobu either.

He needed my help

but l couldn't do a thing.

l can't give this up.

l'll take revenge for him.

l'll protect you right to the end,

just like he would have done.

Thank you... Nanahara.

You never got to taste

those cookies, did you?

Numai's gang took Kiriyama.

They're not wasting any time.

What's this?

You got a good one!

Some transfer student!

Are you in this together with Kitano?

- Going to make us kill each other.

- None of us is killing anyone.

You might as well come clean now.

Are you listening?

A**hole!

Why? Stop...

Boys #9 Kuronaga, #10 Sasagawa,

#14 Tsukioka, #1 7 Numai,

Girl #5 Kanai - dead

l'm sorry, Sakura.

l'm not much help, am l?

No, l'm grateful you came with me.

What will happen to us?

- l know one thing.

- What?

l'll never play this game.

Maybe someone will save us!

No.

Let's go.

Here goes...

Boy #21 Yamamoto,

Girl #4 Ogawa - dead

Mimura...

Who's there?

Oh, it's you, Megumi.

Who is it?

Mitsuko...

Were you going to kill me

with that stun gun?

What...? Oh, l'm sorry.

l was never friendly with your group,

but you're OK.

- So l can come in?

- Sure, come in.

Pictures of Mimura.

Oh, no...!

ls this your weapon?

Not much use, huh?

Not necessarily.

One zap at someone with a bad heart

and they'll pretty much be a goner.

Have you used one before?

Of course not, sorry!

Here.

Mitsuko! Don't!

This is my weapon.

l thought it was so-so.

But actually it's not so bad.

l found Yoshimi and Kuramoto

dead next door.

Strung up all cosy together.

Not my scene!

l'll never die like that!

Girls #3 Megumi, #21 Yoshimi,

Boy #8 Kuramoto - dead

That's B-5.

Next, at 9:
00, E-8.

Then at 1 1 :
00, F-2. Got that?

lt's tough when friends die on you,

but hang in there! We'll talk again soon!

This is going to be a danger zone.

We've got to head south, quick.

Oki?

l'll get you! l'll get you!

Oki...

Are you OK?

l'm sorry.

l'm fine, l'm fine...

Nanahara!

Did l kill him? Tell me the truth.

You were watching.

- Did l?

- lt was an accident.

Everybody's serious, huh? Fine.

l'll survive

and get into a good school.

Stop it!

Don't try and stop me!

What weapons have you got?

- A pot lid.

- And binoculars.

Everybody! Stop fighting!

Please hear us out!

This is Kusaka, with Yukiko,

on the cliffs of the north mountain.

Everybody come here.

We'll figure this out together.

We don't want to fight.

Right, Yukiko?

This is Yukiko! Please join us.

Let's think this through together.

That's the right tactic.

- Where are you going?

- To go and get them.

You don't even have a weapon!

Not everyone

wants to play nice out there!

lf they're in danger

then all the more reason to go!

No!

Stop shooting!

- ldiots!

- Run!

- That's...

- Nanahara? That was his voice, right?

Nanahara!

Over here, come here!

Yukiko's always had a crush on...

You idiot...

Kusaka!

Kusaka!

Yukiko!

Tell me it's not true!

Answer me! Kusaka!

He'll come here next. Let's move.

Go wherever you like...

You're a murderer yourself!

- Nanahara...

- They were my friends!

This is crazy! How can you all

kill each other so easily?

There's a way out of this game.

Commit suicide, both of you.

Here, now.

lf you can't do that

then stop trusting anyone and just run.

Boys #3 Oki, #20 Motobuchi,

Girl #6 Yukiko, #7 Kusaka - dead

Second Report - 12:00pm

Take a little lunch break from killing.

Now for the list of those

who went down this morning.

Boy #3 Oki.

Boy #20 Motobuchi.

Girls #6 Yukiko, #7 Kusaka.

Then from 1 5:
00, E-9.

From 17:

- Yeah.

- Kind of lame, huh?

Yoshimi's dead, isn't she?

- With Kuramoto.

- So you saw.

Well, l saw Megumi's throat slit.

With a sickle or something.

Mitsuko!

Have you got Megumi's weapon?

Of course not.

But it looked like someone

was there all night.

l found a tampon in the toilet.

l checked Megumi.

She wasn't having hers.

But you started yesterday, right?

- That doesn't prove anything!

- Cut the crap, murderer!

F***ing all the boys

but you still had to steal mine!

You made Yoshimi date all those

old pervs for cash, too, didn't you!

- You probably hung them yourself!

- That's horrible...!

You've always pissed me off!

l'll kill you!

Come on, what is this?

Stop joking, forgive me...

Stop faking it!

l've had it! Why does

everybody gang up on me?

What did l do?

Think about what you did!
