Classroom of the Elite (2017) s03e08 Episode Script

1
[HORIKITA] Someone in our class
shouldn't be here.
They're nothing more
than a burden
that should be removed.
Haruki Yamauchi.
[Yamauchi gasps]
You're my choice.
[gasps]
[YAMAUCHI]
You've gotta be kidding me!
Considering contributions,
you've been at the bottom
of the class
for the entirety
of the school year.
What? That can't be!
Ken and Kanji have to be
just as bad as me!
[both gasp]
Not quite.
Even though you're all
roughly on the same level,
you're still
a half-step behind.
[grunts]
This is crazy,
you can't be serious!
It's ridiculous!
Right, Ken? Kanji?
[scoffs]
Hey, come on.
Are you gonna say something?
Huh.
Look at Koenji,
that pain in the butt
skips out on special exams!
There's no way
I'm as bad as he is!
It's true that Koenji's actions
have caused a number
of problems for us.
But in terms of sheer ability,
he's far superior to you.
[scoffs]
[YAMAUCHI]
No, I refuse to accept this!
I can't go. [gasps]
[screams]
You can't kick me out!
I'm not done.
I haven't even gotten
to the primary reason
why I've chosen you.
[gasps]
Insulting me
wasn't good enough?
I know you're the person
gathering up negative votes,
to have Ayanokoji expelled.
[all gasp]
[gasps]
[all gasp]
What are you doing, Yamauchi?
What would make you
target Ayanokoji?
Hm.
That's right.
He's the ringleader
behind it all.
What? You've got
the wrong person, I swear!
Listen. Somebody else
told me to vote against him.
So, it couldn't be me!
And who was that person?
Uh, well
It was Kanji, duh!
-[gasps] Um, I Huh?
-Right?
Is that true, Ike?
What? No way! It wasn't me.
The other day,
Kikyo approached me
and said that someone
in our class was in trouble
-and needed help.
-[gasps]
Does that mean you're the one
who came up with this, Kushida?
Oh right! Sorry,
I got a little confused,
it was Kikyo who came up to me.
She wanted Ayanokoji expelled!
[grunts] That's not true!
It's the same for you guys!
-[YAMAUCHI] Right?
-How cruel.
You're awful, Yamauchi.
You're the one who asked me
to help you in the first place!
And even though I didn't
want to take part in this,
I did my best
because a friend was in need!
[gasps]
Kushida
you have a great deal
of influence within Class C.
Surely, you knew
what would've happened
if you went along
with his request.
I hope that, moving forward,
you'll be more careful
with who you help.
Regardless,
it now seems indisputable
that Yamauchi
was the source of this scheme.
Believe me, Horikita!
-I'm not the mastermind!
-[KOENJI] Well
this situation has gotten
rather interesting.
Could you answer me one thing?
The mere act
of targeting someone
falls within the rules,
in fact,
it's integral to this exam.
Is there a reason
he's the only one
being chastised for it?
Otherwise, I don't see
anything wrong here.
[YAMAUCHI] W-what he said!
[HORIKITA] Yamauchi,
you've been meeting
with Sakayanagi
-behind the scenes.
-[gasps]
[HORIKITA] And have been
carrying out her orders.
-Hey, Haruki.
-[SHINOHARA] Huh?
-Is that true?
-No!
She's making it up!
If she had proof,
she would've shown it!
All the proof I need
will be on your phone.
I'm sure we'll find
Sakayanagi's
contact information.
[YAMAUCHI] So what?
She's my friend!
There's nothing weird
about having friends
-from other classes!
-Dude!
-Are you a spy?
-[gasps]
Come on man, you know
I'd never do anything
to betray the class, right?
At least give me
some credit here.
-[chuckles]
-Whatever she offered you
must've been quite enticing
to convince you
to turn your back
on your class.
I wonder,
did she agree to spend some
personal time with you?
[gasps]
[ONODERA] Eww, like date him?
[SHINOHARA] So gross!
[WANG] I can't believe him.
We can't allow a good student
to be undeservedly kicked out
for such a ridiculous reason.
You see,
this is the primary reason
I think you should be expelled.
You've betrayed
your own classmates
to make a secret pact
with our enemy.
Even going so far
as selling out someone
who's helped you in the past.
You have no one else
but yourself to blame.
You're an unwelcomed
presence in this classroom.
There's no way.
Now this is quite a surprise!
You make a convincing argument,
I'll throw my lot
in with you, Horikita.
You really believe her?
I didn't betray you guys!
I'd never do that!
For those who think
my reasoning is flawed,
feel free to place my name
as your negative vote.
That's it. I've laid
everything out for you.
I hope you'll think on it
and do what feels right.
Hang on, Suzune.
I understand what
you're getting at.
But still, I can't agree to it.
I don't know
if I can expel a friend!
Valuing your friendships
is an admirable trait, Sudo.
But think.
Protecting one person,
means sacrificing
somebody else.
[Sudo gasps]
[HORIKITA]
That's precisely the reason
we need to approach this test,
not with emotion,
but with logic.
[groans]
[SUDO] Sorry, Haruki.
She's right,
there's nothing I can do.
What?
I suppose that settles it then.
Hang on! You guys,
you all know me!
This is so freaking stupid!
You should save your breath.
There's no one in Class C
who deserves to be expelled
more than you.
I've heard more
than enough from you!
They said they'd vote
for Ayanokoji.
So, this doesn't
change anything!
You all better keep
your promise to Kikyo, 'kay?
No, don't. It's okay.
-Huh?
-I was wrong, I know that.
I want to take back my request
for everyone's help.
I'm sorry!
The hell are you doing,
Kushida?
You said you'd
help me, you liar!
You're the liar, Yamauchi!
How could you betray
your own classmates
without even a second thought?
-Damn you!
-[ALL] Huh.
[gasps]
Out of all the people
in this room,
you are without a doubt
the weakest link.
And furthermore,
you turned your back on us.
We can't forgive you for that.
[HIRATA] Horikita,
wait a minute!
Hm.
Did you want to say something?
I made the decision
to let you finish speaking.
But I don't like the way
you're approaching this!
Thank goodness!
[HIRATA] Tearing down
your friends and classmates
is wrong!
[HORIKITA] You know
this is the only way.
The sooner you accept that,
the smoother this'll go.
I won't just sit back
and accept it!
Please, we'll find another way!
[gasps] Listen to the man!
It doesn't matter how you feel.
I'll still fight
in whatever way
I believe is correct.
Let's hold a vote.
I want to know who among us
is willing to vote
Yamauchi out.
You can't do that!
We're going to begin now.
Stop this, Horikita.
Right now.
[HORIKITA] You have
no authority to stop me.
This conversation
shouldn't be happening.
Then, in your opinion,
what should we do?
-There's no other--
-[thumps]
Just shut up!
I've heard enough out of you!
[gasps]
-[gasps]
-What's gotten into him?
[HIRATA] Listen up, everybody!
I don't give a damn
if what Horikita
just said is true or not.
She's trying to feed
you all a load of crap!
Can't you see I'm the victim?
[HIRATA] Don't make me laugh.
After everything
that's come to light,
it's clear that you're part
of the problem too.
[gasps]
And it's not just him.
How can you guys be
so nonchalant
about destroying a friend?
It makes me sick.
Well, the vote is tomorrow.
Are you saying you'd rather
face it without a plan?
And what's wrong
with not having a plan?
We have no right to pass
judgment on our classmates.
Are you that naive?
[HIRATA] Maybe you're the one
who shouldn't be here, then.
[gasps]
[HIRATA] What you're doing
is unacceptable.
Inciting others to take down
your fellow students!
-[gasps]
-[HORIKITA] You're speaking
in platitudes.
Have you already forgotten
there was a group
that conspired to have
Ayanokoji expelled?
No. I'm not saying
that's okay, either.
But it doesn't come close
to you controlling the class
with your power.
Oh, please.
They are one and the same.
Plus, even if we
don't take a vote now,
I've already said
what I wanted to.
I guess you're right.
We can't go back
to how things were.
That's why,
during the test tomorrow,
I'll be putting down your name
as my negative vote.
I refuse to accept
your paradigm.
That's fine. I don't mind.
I know you're
under the impression
that this test
is cruel and unreasonable.
But when you go out
into the real world,
you'll find there will be times
when it's necessary
to cut people loose.
In those situations,
those in power will be forced
to make these kinds
of decisions.
And as long as you view
this special exam
as some mere punishment,
you'll never mature.
As I said before,
I won't be interfering
with how you choose
to approach this test.
Of course.
I'd like to remind you all
to think carefully
before your vote tomorrow.
[indistinct chatter]
Huh?
Hm.
[MALE STUDENT 308A]
Tomorrow's the last day
we'll have to look
at Ryuen's ugly mug!
About freakin' time.
-Why the long face?
-Huh.
Don't tell me you're upset that
Ryuen's getting kicked out?
[sighs]
Don't you have anything
better to do than bother me?
Nope! Hm.
So, I was thinking
about writing your name
when voting tomorrow.
I figured it's only fair.
Since you're voting
for me, right?
Sure.
Oh, yeah?
You're keeping pretty calm,
I'll give you that.
But as soon
as Ryuen's expelled,
you'll be right behind him.
-Huh.
-Hey, Ibuki, can we talk?
What do you want?
I need to know what's going on
with Ryuen's private points.
Where are they?
They're where
they've always been.
So, you haven't
gotten them off of him yet?
If he gets expelled,
those points will disappear.
Big deal.
If you want 'em so badly,
go ask him yourself.
Come on,
you know I can't do that.
Right. Everybody in school
believes you've deposed him
and taken over our class.
It's no good if you're seen
groveling for some points.
Damn it all.
Why the hell
am I even doing this?
Wouldn't it be better
if he really got expelled?
Things are peaceful now.
Are you really okay
with how things are?
You may not like his methods,
but he's our only chance
of getting to Class A.
Huh.
[beeps]
I've confirmed that
I've received the points.
We're officially done.
[scoffs] That was a hell
of an ask, you know.
I'm sure you wanted this too.
Otherwise, you would've gone
on one last spending spree
before you left.
[grunting]
[gasps]
What do you think you're doing?
[grunts]
-[groans]
-I'm rather fond
of that bad attitude of yours.
-I'll miss that most.
-Huh?
Huh.
You're tough,
but you have too many openings.
You'll never beat
Suzune like that.
Who even asked you?
-Later.
-Uh
Huh. Tell me,
did you enjoy
your time at this school?
Huh?
Just forget it.
[IBUKI] I've collected
the private points from Ryuen.
Hm.
Don't worry, okay, everyone?
We'll get through this test,
without expelling anybody!
That's great. but how
are we going to make up
the four million points
we're missing?
President Nagumo
has already promised
to lend us enough points
to meet the threshold.
[KANZAKI] Wait,
how'd you pull that off?
Though things might be
slightly burdensome
until I can pay him back.
Is that all right with you?
[AMIKURA] Awesome!
That's our Honami!
[SHIRANAMI] I'm totally
on board with that!
[phone ringing]
[NAGUMO] Ah, Honami.
Have you made your decision?
Almost.
There's one more thing I wanted
to confirm with you first
before I made up my mind.
[NAGUMO] What is it?
I was curious,
how do you feel about me?
Is this all part
of some plan of yours
or do you really like me?
[NAGUMO] Please, I wouldn't
have asked for this
-if I didn't like you.
-[ICHINOSE] Hm.
[NAGUMO] Just say yes
and I'll send you the points.
We'll consider that
a contract signed.
Hold on a sec.
Um, I'm still looking
at other options.
[NAGUMO]
Have it your way.
But my offer
expires at midnight.
I hope it's not too late
when you finally decide.
Got it.
I'll answer you before then.
[inhales and exhales]
[grunts]
I really thought
I'd be able to do it.
Huh.
Have you noticed
any new activity
from Katsuragi?
[HASHIMOTO] He's been quiet
for the most part.
It feels like he's
accepted his expulsion.
Good, that's what
I wanted to hear.
By the way,
seems the side project
I've been working on
has been exposed.
You know,
the one with Yamauchi?
You don't sound that upset
about your scheme failing.
After I heard they were holding
a class-wide meeting,
I knew it was over.
It was just a matter
of when they'd find out.
Things have become
unpredictable now.
It's unclear
who will be expelled.
It'll be fine.
I already know
how this game will go.
Plus, it wouldn't do
for the king
to be eliminated
before the end.
[bird chirping]
[all groan]
[door slides open]
[birds chirping]
Voting will now begin.
I wish you all
luck in this exam.
[shuddered breathing]
Hey! You've gotta try
to keep it together, Haruki!
Shut up, dude!
-Don't bother.
-Huh.
Do you really expect a man
facing execution
to remain calm?
[scoffs and chuckles]
Fine. So what?
I guess I can tell you!
-Surprise!
-Huh?
But there's zero chance
I'm getting expelled!
Oh?
You idiots!
Sakayanagi already
promised to give me
every single one of Class A's
positive votes!
So, it doesn't matter one bit
if you voted for me!
-I'm safe!
-[gasps]
Get it now?
I've been
under Class A's protection!
[laughs]
So, tell me.
How many of you wasted your
negative vote on me, huh?
And for your information,
I didn't even really
betray you guys.
Talk about unfair treatment!
But that's okay.
I'll forgive you!
[ALL] Huh.
Take your seat, Yamauchi.
[YAMAUCHI]
Sure thing.
I will now announce
the results of the exam.
To begin, I'll read
the three students
who placed at the top.
Third place.
Kikyo Kushida.
Second place.
Yosuke Hirata.
[SUDO] Hirata's
number two, huh?
I knew he was safe.
[AYANOKOJI]
Seems that ugly scene yesterday
didn't hurt him too badly.
I suppose that's a sign
of how much good will
he's earned in the class
over the past year.
Hold on a sec.
If Hirata's number
two, who got first place?
And finally, first place.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.
[CHABASHIRA] Congrats.
[HORIKITA] Ayanokoji?
[SUDO] Why him?
[IKE] What's going on here?
Wait, but that's impossible!
There's gotta be some kind
of mix up with the points!
I assure you it's correct.
What the heck did you do?
As for the bottom-ranked
student,
I'm afraid it's you.
-[gasps]
-[CHABASHIRA] Haruki Yamauchi.
But how?
I don't understand.
How did this happen?
-[gasps]
-Hm.
I hate this school.
And all of its stupid exams!
You're free to think
what you'd like,
but these results are final.
Shut up!
[trembling]
This's all a big mistake!
Go talk to Sakayanagi.
She'll clear up
the whole situation.
She gave me her word
I'd be safe!
It's time for you to go,
Yamauchi.
No way.
I should've been number one!
You're only
embarrassing yourself.
-Huh.
-Your very existence
has already been
deleted. Begone.
I refuse to accept this is it!
Even to the bitter end
you're nothing more
than a pathetic defective.
To be honest, I'm surprised you
weren't eliminated earlier.
Urgh! Damn you!
-[screaming]
-[all shriek]
[screams]
You're more than welcome
to come at me,
but I can't guarantee
you'll walk away in one piece.
[whimpering]
That's enough.
We'll leave things
at that, Yamauchi.
This is for your own good.
[all gasp]
[grunts]
[sighs]
[Yamauchi crying]
[Yamauchi screaming]
[MASHIMA] The last place
spot goes to
Yahiko Totsuka.
[gasps]
-[KATSURAGI] Impossible!
-Huh.
Sakayanagi,
weren't you going to focus
your negative votes on me?
[Sakayanagi chuckles]
[SAKAYANAGI]
Don't sound so disappointed.
It's simple, unlike Totsuka,
you actually have some talent.
I wouldn't throw away
such a valuable piece
for no reason.
[TOTSUKA] Urgh! Damn it!
-[Totsuka crying]
-Perfect,
I wonder how the other classes
are faring with this
follow-up special exam.
[RYUEN]
Poor, poor Manabe.
She nearly screamed
her head off.
Did she?
[screaming]
So, Ayanokoji.
What's with the sudden interest
in taking up charity work?
I don't know what you mean.
Don't play dumb with me.
You're the only person
who could've saved me
from expulsion.
I can't take credit for that,
you were saved by those
who respect you.
[DAICHI]
Please, Ayanokoji!
There has to be a way
to keep Ryuen
from getting expelled tomorrow!
His reputation
makes that impossible.
So, you're saying
there's nothing you can do?
Ryuen's already
accepted his fate.
You're the closest thing
he has to friends,
so don't you think you should
respect his decision?
I know that.
But still! Hm.
If I can offer a word
of advice to both of you.
It would be a waste to let
the private points
he's saved up disappear
along with him.
Yeah, right! You want me
to kick him out the door,
and take his points
while I'm at it?
This test isn't so forgiving
that you can save someone
just because you want to.
It'll require a great deal
of sacrifice.
Are you prepared to do
what's necessary?
-I uh
-There's a way?
[IBUKI] I've collected
the private points from Ryuen.
[AYANOKOJI] Excellent.
How many did he have?
Over five million.
[AYANOKOJI] That'll do.
We can move onto the next part
of the plan.
Huh.
[AYANOKOJI] Come back
to my room for a meeting.
-[gasps]
-Wait, her?
Good evening!
Um, good evening.
Ugh!
So, the plan is this.
I'm going to call everybody
in Class B right now
and have them submit
a positive vote for Ryuen.
In exchange,
we need your private points
so we can reach a total
of twenty million.
This way, Class B won't be
forced to expel anyone
and Ryuen will be able
to survive this special exam.
Old fashioned
quid pro quo, huh?
Huh. Sounds good to me!
But you're being
kind of stupid.
-Huh?
-You're wasting
a whole lot of points.
Is it really that hard
to let someone go?
Maybe, but I don't think
you're in any position
to criticize me.
-Huh?
-I mean look,
you've got over five million
points in your pocket
to do whatever you want with.
And you're using it all
to save one person.
Oh, please,
don't lump me in with you.
Someone in Class D is going
to end up getting expelled.
Tomorrow might
even be my last day.
But you'll get to keep
Ryuen safe.
That's what matters, right?
Yeah, whatever,
it just didn't feel right
to let things end like this
while still in his debt.
[chuckles]
Huh?
So, you're saying I was saved
by Ishizaki and Ibuki?
I don't know if I should feel
annoyed or grateful.
What will your next move be?
[scoffs] Eh, who knows?
[cellphone vibrating]
