Highschool of the Dead (2010) s01e01 Episode Script

Spring of the Dead

1 I was up late the night before the world as I knew it came crashing down.
Hurry! You okay, Hisashi? You idiot! But! No! Go away! Re— Rei! Hisashi! See that? You have to hit them in the head to make them stop.
Rei! Hisashi! This way! Hurry! Okay! Shit What is this?! What the hell is going on?! Fureta Genjitsukan Nakushita mama de As I slowly lose touch with reality, my emotions pile up like fallen debris Gareki no Youni Tsumikasanaru Kono Kanshou wa Doko e Yuku Where do they think they're going? Tsuieta Kioku Kakae With my ruined memories in tow, Akai Ame o Harai Hashitta Muchuu ni I ran straight through the bloody rain Kuzureta Kanjou no Hate ni After my emotions come spilling out, Nani o Miru what will I see? Nani ga Aru What will I have? Mada Shiranai I still don't know Hakanai Subete no Minori wa But in this silence, Tada Muon ni Me no Mae ni all of the short-term benefits for doing so lie endlessly before me Hirogari Tsudzuketa I'll be your wife, Takashi-chan! Really? Like, really really? Yeah! Let's pinky promise! Why are you repeating a year? You're a straight A student.
You just don't get it, Takashi.
We're in the same class again.
Good times.
Pinky promise If you lie, I'll make you swallow a thousand needles.
Are you stupid? Takagi You always run off to the same spot whenever you have a problem.
It's like you're a little kid.
It's only the beginning of the semester.
Keep cutting class and you'll have to take after school classes or even worse, repeat.
Hey, look who's talking.
5th period isn't over yet, but here you are.
It's okay for me to skip since I'm a genius.
You, on the other hand, got in here thanks to a miracle.
Hey, Takagi Why are you always— I hate stupid people.
I especially hate the ones who aren't aware of their own stupidity.
Fortunately, you're not one of those people.
So, if I keep telling you that you're stupid, then maybe you'll become less stupid.
Stupid.
What? All this because your childhood crush dumped you? So stupid.
About Takashi I did feel that way about him back then, but he never noticed, so So? So what? Who's that? He looks strange.
Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing? Quit that! Now now, Hayashi-sensei.
I'll take care of him.
Hey! Woah, Tejima-sensei! Don't resort to violence H-He's dead No way It was just a bite Are you okay, Tejima-sensei? Tejima-sensei! What a reli— Komuro! Couldn't just skip class, could you? You had to disturb others' learning environment too! Come on, we're getting out of here.
W-What? What's going on, Takashi? Some people at the school gate just got killed.
It's too dangerous to stay here.
Seriously? What would I stand to gain from lying about this? Back up! I never understand what you're thinking— Wh— Shut up and listen! So are you going to tell us what's going on? Someone was at the school gate.
When the gym teachers went to check it out, something happened.
And now those gym teachers are killing each other.
We're supposed to believe that? What is it? You forget something? If what you said is true, then we'll need weapons.
Here you go, Rei.
What about you? I might not look like one, but I'm a black belt in karate.
Anyway, let's get out of here.
Let me call the police.
My dad is an officer.
Rules were meant to be broken, right? No way What is it? Please wait and call again later.
The police emergency line is busy at the moment.
Please wait and call again later.
The line is busy? No way Attention, all students! Violence has broken out on campus! Students should evacuate the campus according to their teacher's instructions.
I repeat.
Violence has broken out on campus! They finally noticed.
Students should evacuate campus— No way Help! Save me! Hirano.
Takagi-san We're getting out of here.
No! Help! Move! This way! We aren't running outside? Everyone is running out of the classrooms.
We'll escape through the admin office! Hisashi is always right.
Just do what he says.
I know! Isn't that our Modern Japanese teacher, Wakisaka-sensei? Careful! He's— No! Go away! Rei! Stab him! Don't hold back! Just do it! No! Don't screw with a member of the Sojutsu Club! All right! No way! I pierced him in the heart! Why is he still moving?! Pull it out now! Get away from him, Hisashi! Don't worry.
I can take him.
Why is he so strong? Let go of Hisashi, dammit! Hisashi! Why? Why hasn't he let go yet?! I knew it He's dead.
He's dead but he's moving! Hisashi! Help him, Takashi! Aren't you a guy?! Just Just do something! Are you okay, Hisashi? It's just a scratch.
Nothing to worry about.
No! Don't bite me! We can't take on all of them by ourselves.
Get to the roof.
The roof? We'll hide ourselves up there until help arrives.
The astronomy observatory is up there.
What the What the hell is going on? Everything was normal until a while ago! Blackhawks? The US army? No, that's our SDF.
But where did they come from? There's no base around here.
Save us! Don't bother.
They wouldn't come all the way out here unless they had a reason to.
They're probably on a special mission.
They don't have time to save us.
They're not even doing anything about this.
You could try to escape down there even though it's a total mess.
No! Stop! Someone, please help! Owww! I wonder what's going on inside school We should be okay as long as we're together, Misuzu! Of course! We'll be best friends forever, Toshimi! No! S-Save me! Save me, Misuzu! Let go! I said LET GO! They're here too? This isn't happening.
It's a dream.
Yeah, it's all a nightmare.
I need to wake up and get to school.
I have to harass the new members today.
It's them.
They infect you with some kind of disease.
Them? We're being attacked by corpses, but this is no movie or video game.
So they're them.
They eat people and whoever gets eaten comes back as one of them.
And I don't understand why, but the only way to kill them is with a blow to the head.
So what do we do? Get up there.
We'll block the stairs.
Let's go! R-Rei! Why Why is this happening? There must be a reason.
If we knew the reason, we could figure out what to do.
Let's look for a lighter or some matches in the observatory.
If we don't make a fire now, we won't be able to see them at ni— Hisashi! What's wrong?! Takashi! Hisashi is But Why That bite was tiny Why has your condition gotten so bad? It's just like in the movies.
There's no stopping it after you get bitten.
No way! Stuff that happens in movi— Everything around us is playing out like a movie.
Takashi.
Help me.
Help you with what? If I fall off from there, the fall will probably crush my head What're you getting at?! I don't want to be one of them! Hisashi! Hisashi! No! Come on Takashi, I'm begging you I want to die as myself.
Hisashi! Why?! No! Don't die! Rei, get back.
No! You can't kill him! He isn't going to He isn't going to turn into one of them! He's special! Get back.
Hisashi? See Takashi? Hisashi wouldn't die from— Hisashi What is it? Hisashi! No way.
This isn't happening.
There's no way.
This really is unbelievable.
So unbelievable that it's stupid.
Takashi And yet Stop.
it really is happening! Owaranai Sekai no Naka de Amidst this never ending world, Sakimidareta Saigo no Kotoba yo your last words sprung up all over the place Sneer at the despair Mou Furikaeranai Quit turning your head away Koe o Karashite Sakebe Scream that with your coarse voice My normal daily life ended Atarimae no Nichijou ga Hateru Kimi to Taiyou ga Shinda Hi on the day you and the sun died Nozomanai Noizu no Uzu ni I secretly got swallowed Hitoshirezu ni Nomikomarete Yuku by the spiral of noise I didn't want to hear Wasurenaide Watashi no Koe o Don't forget what my voice sounds like until the day we meet again Mata Daeu Sono Hi Made Why Why You would've been eaten if I hadn't.
I didn't want you to save me.
I didn't want to see him like this! I would've rather gotten bitten by Hisashi and become one of them than live like this! I don't think Hisashi wanted that.
Oh please Takashi, what do you know? Oh right.
Yeah, that's it.
You must've really hated him! Since we were dating! Wait, where are you going? I feel like I'm bothering you.
So I'm gonna go smash some heads.
What? You can't do that by yourself! Hey Takashi Don't! Stop! I'm sorry! I didn't mean what I said! I really didn't! Please! Please stay here with me! On that day, when the world came crashing down, I killed my best friend, and held the woman I loved for the first time.
Do you know what happens I wanna live! Dad?! You can't hear my voice?! Eat this! Stop!
