Original subtitles

I can't get into a love song

That's sung for a million people

This town critically tells me to love someone, but it's just

Easy love! Easy come! Easy go!

The future is much more realistic than I imagined

It looks like cars won't be flying for a while

And once again today, I'm on the subway

Left behind by the silent strangers and the town...

So I'm lonely lonely Even on nights so lonely we're about to break

Lonely lonely It's only you who stays true to their original love

Lonely lonely Every day when I'm freezing and missing you

I've decided not to force myself to say what I can't say

That person is the only one who can make my heart hot

I wish I could forget...

Love me Love Me This heart is strong yet weak

Kiss me Kiss me On nights when I'm alone and desperate

Nobody knows what means love so

Do you know how love song goes on?

It's a lie...

Right? Aizawa, it isn't true, is it?

It's true...

Mizuki is... dead...

Shoot! Please be on time!

She committed suicide at the end of last year.

Suicide?

Why?!

What are you talking about now?

Of course it's because of you.

Mizuki was pregnant!

If you hadn't betrayed her, this wouldn't have happened!

I had no other choice.

No other choice!

At that time the Board of Education told me...

...I couldn't be involved anymore...

Really? I don't care...

The bottom line is Mizuki won't be back anymore...

You guys are murderers!

Am I on time?!

Welcome! Oh, Mr. Onizuka! Hello!

Tomoko! Your teacher is here!

Coming!

I'll have the miso and gyoza set, the 350 yen special...

...it's still on, right? - That's the real Tomo-chan!

All right!

I'm glad I got here on time!

Are you out of money again?

Payday is tomorrow.

Don't be silly. We can always give you a special price.

No, no. That would be an abuse of my authority.

You're more honest than you look.

Let me treat you to a beer.

Think of this as a visit to a student's home.

Is that right? If you say so...

Thank you very much.

Next on the news.

Late last night, Mr. Noboru Saito, a 24-year-old teacher...

...at the private Reimei Women's School...

...in Tokyo, was stabbed in the chest at his home...

...and then taken to the hospital.

He is currently in critical condition.

A neighborhood resident witnessed a young woman running away.

The police believe that this woman is involved in the case...

...and are looking for her.

Huh, involved with a woman...!

Next, in sports...

What's the matter, Toroko?

He was our homeroom teacher last year.

Mr. Noboru Saito.

Yes, Onizuka here.

Oh, Chairman?

Yes, the news? I'm watching it now...

Is that right?

Yes.

When I saw the news a little while ago...

...I thought I should let you know...

Mr. Saito was the homeroom teacher for the previous Class 2-4.

But last summer...

...his relationship with one of his female students...

...was exposed by the media...

...and he left the school.

The female student left, too.

Her name was Mizuki Yokoyama and she was an excellent student...

...who always had a smile on her face.

She transferred.

What did he find sexy about a high school kid?!

He must have had a Lolita Complex.

No, he was enthusiastic, and he was respected by the students.

The reason why that class started to terrorize their homeroom teachers...

...was probably because of what Mr. Saito said when he left the school.

He said he would take responsibility...

...and then submitted his resignation.

But publicly, he denied the relationship...

...with Mizuki Yokoyama.

If Miss Yokoyama had said anything...

...it would've complicated things...

but since she didn't, the matter ended with Mr. Saito's resignation.

I've never thought that he would continue teaching...

...at a different school.

Mr. Onizuka.

It is really difficult to have a good relationship between students and their teacher.

The more the teacher is trusted by his students...

...the more the students can be hurt...

...with just one word from the teacher.

Hey! That's Saito, isn't it?

Yeah. How could we forget Noboru Saito?!

- What are you talking about? - Didn't you see the news?

He was stabbed.

I bet he betrayed someone again and he was attacked.

It serves him right.

That's right.

After all, he was that kind of man.

Because of him, at that time...

If that's how it ends, it's fine by me...

Miyabi's absent, isn't she?

Are you saying Aizawa did it?!

No way!

Even Aizawa... She couldn't...?

Can we be certain she didn't do it?

Yokoyama and Aizawa were good friends...

...ever since they were in elementary school...

What should we do, Kikuchi?

Yeah...

Hey, did Miyabi really do it?!

I'm not sure...

First, we need to investigate.

Don't say anything to Onizuka 'til then.

Why not?

If it's true, we have to tell him right away!

Calm down, everyone.

It isn't a good idea to turn it into a big problem.

Right?

Until we find out the truth, let's act prudently.

So what's Mr. Saito's condition?

According to his doctor, it is very serious...

The next few days will be key.

How about the police and the media?

I took care of them...

I don't think the matter will attract any more attention.

Mr. Director.

What should we do as a response?

The issue is...

...who was the young woman who fled from his condo?

If the woman was involved in last year's case...

Classified: Special Investigation Report

Well, Mizuki Yokoyama...

...the former student at Holy Forest Academy in Class 2-4...

...committed suicide.

Really, what a pain!

She should have been ashamed...

...that her indecent relationship with her teacher was revealed.

We hid the fact from the public for them, and she responded...

...by committing suicide!

Well, we pressured the newspaper...

...so we don't have to worry about that now.

But if we're not cautious, we'll come off as the bad guys.

Anyway, we can't do any more harm...

...to the authority of Japanese education.

Make sure to crush any hint of scandal.

Oh, Yokoyama and Aizawa! You're still here.

We're making charts from everyone's opinions...

...in the class. It took more time than we thought.

All right, then. I'll help you, too.

All right!

Mr. Saito, sit on this side!

Oh, you were counting on this, weren't you?!

You caught us!

Listen, Miyabi...

I...

...to tell you the truth...

Really?

Kikuchi said not to tell anyone...

I have a bad feeling...

No way...

Do you guys seriously think...

...that Aizawa was involved in yesterday's incident?

I don't know.

But we can never forgive Mr. Saito.

Everyone thinks it might...

Aizawa isn't home...

I'll try to find Mr. Onizuka.

Fuyutsuki. You and the other students should look for Aizawa.

Yes!

Welcome!

Board Of Education Outline And Development

Thank you very much.

The number you are calling...

...is out of range, or the power is off...

...and it cannot be connected.

Nao Kadena

Yes.

He isn't there?

How about his cell phone?

The power is off...

I see.

Yes, please do so.

He isn't home?

No... Let's go to Kikuchi's house then.

- One beer, ma'am! - All right!

Are you okay?

Why don't you slow down a little?

Never mind. I want to drink now!

What's the matter?

Did Fuyutsuki dump you?

It's not that...

They were betrayed...

...by the teacher they had trusted.

They...?

The students in your class?

Yeah.

One of the students was seriously going out with him.

But when the media found out...

...he denied it...

...to stay out of trouble.

I guess there are a lot of screwed-up people in the world.

But I heard he was a nice guy...

Here! Thank you for waiting!

Kikuchi? It's me.

Did you find anything?

I checked the records back from when Saito was first hired...

...by Reimei Women's School.

What do you mean?

You were not there at that time.

So you may not know...

Usually a teacher who made the news like that...

...cannot be hired by another private school so easily.

As I thought...

...he had a powerful person recommend him.

Who?!

Koichi Igarashi.

He's the Director of the Board of Education.

At that time, Saito said...

...he was serious about Mizuki Yokoyama.

He said he knew it wasn't allowed...

...but that he would fight whatever people said.

And we believed his words.

But why did he end up betraying us?

It was pressure.

The reason why the relationship between Yokoyama and Saito...

...was revealed in the media...

...was that she was an excellent student who was going...

...to represent students at the World Conference...

...to Protect Children's Rights held in Japan last year.

A well-behaved and excellent student...

...had a relationship with her homeroom teacher.

What could be a better scandal than this for the media?

But...

...the ones who were most afraid. that the two might acknowledge it were...

...the Board of Education who strongly recommended her for the Conference.

It would ruin their credibility.

So they talked to Saito and made a deal.

I see...

Well, do you know where I'm making this call from?

I'm at a graveyard.

Mizuki Yokoyama died at the end of last year. Suicide.

And one more thing...

I spoke with her mother.

She can think of only one reason for the suicide.

Kikuchi! Please explain the situation.

Yoshikawa!

Sorry! I was worried...

What on earth is going on?!

Wait!

Kanzaki! So what's...

...the reason?

Her mother said she might have been pregnant...

And the same story was told...

...to Miyabi right before the incident...

No matter how much I worry about it, there's nothing I can do.

Ma'am!

Bring more beer, please!

TEACHER FOR LIFE

Hello. Murai?

Where are you now?

We're at the hamburger place in front of the station.

About 30 minutes ago, a student from Class 3 saw Miyabi.

She was headed to the station.

That's not good...

Murai, do you know where the Metropolitan Government Office is? Building No.2...

Yeah.

The Board of Education's office is in there.

Go there right away!

We have to stop Aizawa!

Kikuchi.

You were right, we should have let Onizuka know...

Miss Fuyutsuki. Can you contact Onizuka?

Well, it seems his cell phone is off...

Hold on!

Hey, are you okay?

Hello.

Oh, Fuyutsuki...

Yes, Eikichi is here but...

What?!

Ryuji! Water!

More!

All right...

Hey, Eikichi...

You're a good teacher.

Going!

Go for it!

I suppose Aizawa somehow found out that...

...Saito, whom we thought had stopped teaching...

...was still teaching.

Also she found out that Saito and the Board of Education...

...were working hand in hand behind our backs.

She then finds out about Yokoyama's suicide...

...snaps and attacks Saito.

She then tries to take revenge on the Board of Education...

...who've been trying to cover up the case.

No way...

Who's to say they didn't?

Yokoyama's suicide was not even in the newspaper.

That's why until now even we've been...

...quiet about it, but I'm sure their power has been used...

For Aizawa...

...they didn't just force her best friend into committing suicide...

...they're also trying to erase the existence of her friend.

Do you remember Mizuki Yokoyama?

Who are you?

Shoot! Please be on time!

I was Mizuki's best friend.

Mizuki was always smiling.

I loved to see her smiling.

But Mizuki stopped smiling...

...after Saito betrayed her.

What are you talking about?

Everyone loved Saito...

Everyone...

Of course, so did Mizuki.

And she really fell in love with Mr. Saito.

Are you the one who stabbed Mr. Saito?!

Am I right?!

Where are you?!

Aizawa!

Aizawa!

Where are you?!

Stop, stop it!

If you did it, you'll be finished, too!

Maybe...

But it's better than Mizuki.

Wait! I didn't do anything!

You're a punk!

Onizuka!

Surrender quietly!

Leave me alone! I will take this guy...

Fool!

A kid shouldn't use a knife.

Leave me alone!

Hey! Wait!

- Who are you?! - Leave me alone! I'm...

- Holy Forest, Class 3-4... ...telling you to leave me alone!

...a homeroom teacher... - I don't acknowledge you...

...Eikichi Onizuka... ...as my homeroom teacher!

...22 years old.

Greetings!

Aizawa!

Hey! This way!

Leave me alone!

I hate you!

I hate adults!

- I don't trust adults! - Mr. Onizuka!

Let's go home.

Wait!

That student is a suspect in yesterday's incident.

Where are you taking her?!

I'm calling the police now. Stay there!

No need for that.

I'll take her into my custody and take full responsibility.

What?! What can you do?!

I can do whatever I want for my own student.

You! And you call yourself a teacher?!

Do you know who I am?!

No!

You'll pay for this!

Good!

Come and get me anytime!

Get on, Aizawa!

Get on!

Mr. Onizuka!

Hey, hey...

...if you kids roam around at this time of night...

...you're gonna get arrested.

Onizuka.

Fuyutsuki.

Please take care of them.

Mr. Onizuka, where are you going?

Hey, Eikichi! What were you thinking?!

Get out!

- I see. - And take that girl with you...

- I'm fine. Thanks, Kikuchi. ...are you going to do...

...something? Are you listening to me?!

- You must be feeling good. - What?! You're kidding!

You took the real suspect to the police.

- What's going on? - Did you really...

- Explain it to me! ...stab Saito?

Did you?!

Last week when I heard Saito was still teaching...

...I went to see how he was doing.

He was surrounded by his students...

...and he seemed happy...

Imagine whatever you want.

You're thinking I did it, too, aren't you?!

That's fine! That's...

How long are you gonna be stubborn about this?

Keep her in there for a while.

Yeah... What?!

Hey! Wait a minute! Hey! Hey!

I'm so sorry.

Anyway, that man is vulgar, rude and vicious.

It is outrageous for him to assault...

...a member of the Board of Education.

He should be condemned.

He didn't assault him at all!

If I wasn't assaulted, how do you explain this?

Mrs. Sakurai. We have two requests.

One.

Turn Miyabi Aizawa in to the police.

Two.

Fire Mr. Onizuka immediately...

...for assaulting one of our board members.

That's all.

- Please wait! No way... - Sure! That's not hard!

We'll do it right away!

What do you think?

Mr. Onizuka, Miyabi Aizawa...

We haven't been able to reach either of them.

As soon as we can contact them, we'll listen to their explanations...

...then we'll decide what we should do.

Are you accusing me of lying?

There is no time for all of that!

Miyabi Aizawa admitted...

...that she attacked...

...Mr. Saito.

You will inevitably have to turn her in to the police!

And if we don't accept your request...

...what are you going to do?

I regret to say that Holy Forest's license will be suspended.

You're saying that you'll shut down the school?

No way!

If that happens, my loan will be...

I was trying to say it politely...

...but I suppose you didn't understand me.

This is an order.

Make sure it's done by tomorrow.

Where is our future going?

Maybe it knows of this aimless journey And simply flew away

If you can stop our gloomy days

I will listen to all you say

However much we have, There is always something lacking

The wind will always blow And carry the scent away

I am searching for our future now

Don't laugh because It may really go away

Remember these Strained words I say

The night is almost over, So let's run through this moment

All we have is this precious moment

All we have is this precious moment

Before the endless night begins

Embrace this precious night

Next Episode

Effective immediately, I suspend the operational license...

...of Holy Forest Academy.

Take me to Onizuka.

Quickly!

Please don't go...

No! No!

I won't let it happen! Chairman!

I won't let my little bit of happiness be ruined!

I am the one who stabbed him...

...Eikichi Onizuka, 22 years old!

SEE YA NEXT TIME
