Battle Royale Page #4

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?

Kaori and Mizuho.

We'll always be friends.

l know.

Girls #1 Mizuho, #12 Kaori - dead

And on the noon update,

Takiguchi and Hatagami.

Boys #13 Takiguchi,

#18 Hatagami - dead

And a message from Sugimura.

Mimura and the guys are in the west.

They're waiting to see you.

- Mimura...?

- Yeah.

Here's your map.

l marked it for you.

You're safe here.

Everyone here is my friend.

There's Haruka, Satomi,

Yuka, Chisato and Yuko.

Nanahara...

About that thing with Oki...

Yuko saw it happen.

Yeah, we fell down a hill together.

- An accident?

- Of course it was!

- l'm sorry...

- Let's all go and join Kawada.

- He knows a way out.

- Can we trust him?

He's survived

one of these games before.

But you can't even walk yet.

- l'm fine...

- Right now, just rest.

Haruka and Chisato

are fixing lunch.

You did this for me?

Yeah.

lt was my first time

touching a man's body.

Do you like Noriko?

- Why...?

- l know all about you...

Do you know what that means?

What?

Forget it...

l have to lock you in, OK?

Some of them

didn't want to let a guy inside.

Lunch in a minute!

Hey, guys!

Nanahara's awake.

Really? Can he talk?

Yeah. He seems hungry, too.

Don't worry, Yuko. l locked his door.

No, l'm sorry.

l'm not worried any more.

What happened with Oki

was an accident.

Of course.

Shuya would never kill anyone.

The spaghetti is almost done.

Haruka, bring Yuka in from watch.

We need to discuss something.

Roger that.

We're all...

...going to die tomorrow, aren't we?

Don't start with that.

We can't just give up.

l think... we'd better feed

Nanahara first, don't you?

- Right.

- l'll serve him.

Thanks, Yuko.

Hey!

There are still some painkillers.

l'll get some for Nanahara.

- ln the cupboard.

- l'll get them.

Yukie!

l hear Nanahara's awake!

That's so great! You lucky thing!

Don't pretend, l know you're happy.

Smells great... Great job, Chisato.

Let me have a taste.

Super!

Marry me, Chisato!

- Cut it out, Yuka!

- Let's have some quiet.

What did you want

to discuss, Yukie?

Nanahara says Kawada

knows a way off the island.

- The transfer kid?

- Can we trust him?

l hope so. Once Nanahara can walk,

let's join Kawada and Noriko...

What's wrong?

What's wrong!

Yuka!

- She's dead...

- Why...?

Could it be food poisoning?

- That kills instantly?

- l tasted it, l'm fine.

lt must be... poison!

Poison!

Who did it?

- Satomi, don't!

- This is all just a mistake!

We're the only ones here!

Chisato, you cooked it, right?

- No! Haruka cooked too!

- Me? No way!

Nobody did it. Just cut it out!

Put that gun down!

- You're acting the most suspicious!

- Haruka!

You didn't sleep last night,

or the night before, did you?

- You don't trust us, do you?

- l forgot my sleeping pills!

- That's even more suspicious!

- Come on! Satomi, put the gun down!

Shut up, damn it!

- Yukie, quit playing leader!

- Chisato...

- You're covering your own tracks!

- How can you say that?

You've been scheming with Nanahara

to escape together!

lt was you!

Chisato!

Ouch! That hurts! You a**holes!

l'm bleeding, damn it!

Different story now, isn't it?

- Murderer!

- Shut the f*** up!

She tried to steal the gun!

That makes her guilty!

Take that!

Not you, right...?

You're not one of the killers...?

At least... l thought

l'd live until tomorrow.

ldiots...

We might have all survived...

We're all so stupid...

Stupid!

lt's not my fault...

lt's not my fault...

lt's not my fault!

What happened! Utsumi?

What happened? Hey, Utsumi!

l'm sorry, Nanahara.

l forgot how much

l liked all of them!

Why?

Utsumi...

Why...?

Do you know what that means?

How should l know?

l don't know what any of it means!

Girls #2 Yukie, #9 Yuko, #12 Haruka,

#1 7 Satomi, #19 Chisato - dead

There's a call for you.

- Hello.

- Hello, mister.

Oh, Shiori?

Where are you?

Mum's feeling bad again.

l'm on a business trip.

l can't get home till tomorrow.

Don't hurry back on my account.

I'm hanging up.

And can you not breathe

on the phone?

I can smell your stinking breath.

Are you OK?

l had a dream...

What dream?

l was alone with Kitano

on an empty riverbank.

Must have been scary.

But Kitano...

...just seemed lonely.

Before this, l always just

thought of myself as normal.

l'd get married, grow old,

just like my own mum...

But taking part in this game,

l've come to see...

l just didn't have a clue.

There are some things

you're better off not knowing.

lt's going to rain.

l hope Nanahara can find us here.

I told you to wait!

Another day wasted.

The phone never rings.

Even my mobile is useless.

See, it's out of range.

- May l take your order?

- Just a minute.

As you wish.

All those CVs written for nothing.

l'm just wiped out.

l'm sick of them hanging up on me, too.

- Miss, some water please.

- Of course. One minute.

Anyway, order whatever you want.

You start 7th grade tomorrow.

l'd say, "Go for it",

but l never taught you anything.

- Your order?

- l said just a minute!

Shall we try somewhere else?

"Go Shuya!

You can do it, Shuya!"

Shuya...

Look after Nakagawa, OK?

Promise you'll protect her.

- Where are you going?

- To meet Nanahara.

Hey! We're near a danger zone!

Where are you? Nakagawa!

Mitsuko.

What's up?

- l'm looking for Nanahara.

- You got separated?

Nakagawa, where are you?

- Who's that?

- Kawada.

Two princes protecting you.

A real princess!

- Mitsuko!

- Die, ugly.

Hey.

You don't look so bad.

Oh, you've got Nanahara with you.

Nanahara!

Shuya!

Don't catch cold.

You came to meet me?

l brought weapons.

Weapons... why?

l'm weak

and useless

but l'll stay by your side...

l'll protect you.

That's why

l brought weapons...

Shuya...

Kotohiki, is that you?

Kotohiki.

Answer me!

- Quick, run away!

- What?

Someone will come,

because of the gunshots... run!

Why?

Sugimura, why?

You're so cute.

What are you talking about?

What is this?

l wanted to see you.

To save you, actually...

- Don't tell me.

- l've been in love with you, Kotohiki...

...for a long, long... time...

But you never even talked to me.

How could l have known?

You never said a thing!

What am l supposed to do now?

Die.

Boy #1 1 Sugimura,

Girl #8 Kotohiki - dead

Bye, Mitsuko!

- See you tomorrow!

- Bye-bye!

l'm home!

- Who are you?

- Who am l? Well, l'm...

What happened to Mummy?

Mummy's tummy hurts.

How about we play together,

instead.

No!

Be strong, Mitsuko.

lf you're not strong,

you'll end up just like me.

Hello there, Mitsuko.

This little girl's name

is Mitsuko, too.

lsn't she cute?

She's cute and really fun.

See?

All her clothes are off.

Now it's our other Mitsuko's turn.

Let's take them all off.

No!

No one is going to save you.

That's just life.

Die!

l just didn't want to be a loser any more.
