Battle Royale Page #5

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?

#11 Sugimura,

making nine in total.

Let's head west. We can still avoid

the new danger zones.

l've got to see Mimura.

All right...

Got it! l got it!

- We're done too!

- Excellent!

- Two bombs, 100 Molotovs.

- And three propane tanks.

lt took time to rewrite, but my Third

Man hacker programme is ready to go!

- Hackers!

- From where?

- Can't tell!

- Can't you trace it?

- There are too many connections!

- They're into the root index!

- Files are being replaced!

- GPS monitoring is frozen!

- Virus invasion!

- lt's rewriting everything!

- lt's too fast!

- Satellite system frozen!

- Collar control monitor, lost!

- All connections down!

- Danger zones have been cleared!

- Do something!

- Goddamn it!

- Sir!

What are you...?

- Sir!

- Restart it.

OK, here goes!

We've got to ram this into the school

in the 15 minutes before they recover.

l just saw someone over there.

- What?

- Nanahara?

- Nanahara?

- l bet Sugimura told him about us.

Hey, Nanahara, come on out! Hurry!

Sh*t, who is that?

The transfer student!

- l can't hit him.

- Stay calm!

- You missed again!

- Shut up!

No good, back inside!

lijima! lijima!

When we escape,

it'll all be together...

Sh*t! Goddamn it!

Boys #2 lijima, #12 Yutaka,

#19 Mimura - dead

lt's him.

Stay here.

Boy #6 Kiriyama - dead

Are you hurt?

lt's no big deal.

All that matters now

is that we're the only ones left.

Yeah.

What will you do after this?

l don't know.

l've never really trusted adults.

My dad and my mum...

...ran off or died,

just because they felt like it.

But l'll keep fighting,

even though l don't know how...

Until l become a real adult.

You won't make it.

Why not?

l told you, didn't l?

Don't trust anyone.

- Yeah.

- Well, you both trusted me too much.

- You lose.

- Cut the sickjoke.

This was my way off the island.

Sorry, but l used you guys

to save myself.

l don't believe it.

What about Keiko?

There's no Keiko.

She was just a story to suck you in.

But why us?

You were perfect.

Just gullible enough.

Hey, Nanahara.

Can you really kill me with that gun?

Game over.

For real, this time.

- Move out and confirm their bodies.

- Roger!

Operation complete.

- But sir...

- Operation complete.

Game Over

Day Three 4:
30am

The Winner:
Boy #5 Kawada

BR Radio Exercises

Raise your arms in front of you

and stand on your toes.

Move your arms and legs.

Rotate your arms.

Stand with legs apart

and push out your chest.

Nice job.

Glad you and Kiriyama were in the mix.

- Not going home?

- There's no rush.

l want to check one thing first.

- You know how to stop the necklaces.

- l don't know what you mean.

Someone hacked in and stole that data.

lt was you, not Mimura, wasn't it?

Why? To avenge Keiko?

That's fine.

That's why you played the game, right?

But cheating is no good.

Hey! How was it? Fun?

Two lovebirds, surviving together.

l've had it.

The kids make fun of me at school

and my own kid hates me.

There's nowhere l want to go back to.

So we're all going down together.

The only one worth dying with,

would be you, Nakagawa.

lf l had to choose one of you,

it would have to be you, Nakagawa.

What? Go ahead, shoot.

Nakagawa, you can do it.

"Go Shuya!

You can do it, Shuya!"

What's up?

Shoot me or l'll shoot you.

Ouch!

That hurt, damn it!

l made a promise

to protect Noriko...

l know...

l know.

Hello...

Shiori?

Listen, l'm not coming home.

lf you hate someone then you

have to live with the consequences.

lrresponsible?

Who the hell asked you?!

The last one...

Damn good cookies.

lt's beautiful... even though

it's where everyone died.

You can even steer a ship?

Sure, my dad's a fisherman.

Just keep going straight

and you have to hit land.

Give it a try?

We part soon.

l doubt we'll see each other again.

- Why not?

- lt's for the best.

lt was only three days, but a lot

of memories l'd rather forget.

- Kawada...

- Yeah?

Thank you so much.

- Nanahara!

- Yeah?

lt's going to be tough going.

Yeah... l know.

l feel sleepy, all of a sudden.

Time for a nap.

Meeting you guys,

l finally solved

the riddle of Keiko's smile.

What's the answer?

Her parting words.

"Thank you... at the end..."

At the end...?

Kawada?

At the end,

I'm glad I found a true friend.

At the end,

l'm glad l found a true friend.

Wanted on suspicion of murder

and aiding and abetting a murderer.

Noriko slipped home last night

to bid her sleeping parents farewell.

She took the knife that Nobu

used to stab Kitano from her desk.

Each of us has a weapon now.

Even if the time comes

to use them again,

it'll never be an easy choice.

But we have no choice

but to keep moving forward.

Let's run, Noriko.

Yes.

No matter how far,

run for all you're worth.

RUN!

Requiem l

Shuya's Dream

Nobu...

Shuya...

Look after Nakagawa, OK?

Promise you'll protect her.

Requiem lll

Noriko's and Kitano's Dream

- Are you OK with this?

- What?

lf anyone sees us together

you'll get locked in the toilet again.

No, l've had my turn for now.

- Are my classes boring?

- Yes.

How dare you!

Coming into the classroom...

All the kids look the same.

Like lumpy, ugly potatoes.

Slapping them around helped me

tell them apart, to grow to like them.

But not any more.

Lay your hands on a student now

and you're fired.

Now, you can't even get angry

when a student stabs you!

- Can l tell you something?

- What?

The knife that stabbed you...

To tell you the truth,

l keep it in my desk at home.

When l picked it up

l wasn't sure what do with it.

But now, for some reason,

l really treasure it.

That's our secret.

Just between us.

- Tell me, Nakagawa.

- Yes?

ln this moment,

what should an adult say to a kid?
