TOEI COMPANY, LTD
AOKI RURIKO 18 YEARS OLD 7 ESCAPE ATTEMPTS
Sukeban Kankain Dasso GIRL BOSS: ESCAPE FROM THE REFORM SCHOOL
You, fish, got a smoke?
Gimme a light.
SHINAI REFORM SCHOOL
Hey, if you escape again, I'll throw you in prison.
I'll never get caught again!
This place may look like a private school...
but it's more strict than any reform school.
You should feel comfortable living with the group of people here...
and have a normal life after you leave.
You have some problems in your life, but you're not a habitual criminal.
Also somebody you know asked me to help you.
If you take everything here seriously, you'll leave in no time.
Is that clear, Ms. Tajima?
Yes.
Give her the necessities.
Yes. Come with me.
Mr. Chairman, who is that ''somebody''?
Toyama Minoru.
Toyama? - Yeah.
Isn't he a member of the Osaka Parliament?
He used to be her patron.
I think some women are lucky.
She left home and started working at a bar.
But she had a nice life because such a rich guy treated her well.
So then, he contributed one million yen to the school.
I see.

I can't hear you!
Twenty-six.
Okay, everybody's here.
All 26 people in this group are here, sir.
Directed by NAKAJIMA Sadao
What the hell?
It's not enough.
Seems it's just half the amount of usual.
What's going on?
I can't work if they feed us like this.
Hey, you guys want to starve us to death?
Where's the manager?
Bring him here!
Get the manager!
Be quiet! Shut up!
Shut up!
Hey teacher, what's wrong with you guys?
Can you explain this to us?
We had an escape attempt.
She was in your group, so it's also your responsibility.
You know that, right?
What are you talking about?
You said you'd make a smaller portion of food while she was at large.
We changed the rule recently.
It didn't really work for us...
so we decided to give you five days punishment since she escaped.
If you don't like it, you'll tell your friends not to try to escape from here.
This is stupid.
If you don't like it, don't eat!
Hey, you have five minutes for the meal.
Whatcha gonna do?
I'm so hungry!
This is so stupid.
I can't work hard unless I eat enough.
This is all because of Ruriko. - That's right.
Whenever she escapes, we get punished.
It happened again...
because those who live with her didn't stop her escaping.
You're so right.
You guys should work harder than us.
Yeah! That's right!
What? Don't talk to us like that!
I'm serious.
We get punished 'cause you guys were with Ruriko...
but you didn't watch what she does.
It's not our fault.
We're not Ruriko's keepers.
Right, we're not responsible for her.
Are you serious?
Mr. Koike, they've started fighting. We need to stop it.
Not yet.
They need to release their energy by fighting sometimes.
If not, their frustration will explode on us later.
Just ignore it.
Let's stop them now.
Something the matter?
Hey, are you okay?
Treat those injuries later.
Girls...
You're almost there. Keep going.
Why did you lock the door?
I don't want you to fight with them again like this afternoon.
Go to sleep.
Hey you! Wait! Open up!
Why don't you open up? Open the door!
Hey, wait!
Wait! Open it!
What did we do wrong?
Yuki, stop it.
Hey sis, how can you describe that kinda person?
Don't know.
Hey you...
How did you get that make-up? Nobody took those when you got here?
Let me see those.
I just want to take a look!
Yuki, calm down.
Kyoko, you're almost done, right?
What are you making this time?
My mother'll be here tomorrow.
You're a mother yourself...
but you were sent here right after the baby was born.
And you haven't even seen the baby in about a year, right?
How can you love the kid? I don't understand.
I don't, either.
Idiots!
You girls are still 14 years old and will never understand me.
What did you say?
17 years old and 14 years old aren't that different.
Does it hurt?
Can't forgive them.
I agree with you.
I'm sure that we'll be better than them soon.
I think so, too. But I also think Ruriko did wrong.
She didn't care what would have happened to us when she escaped.
Her spirit is dirty!
I would punish Ruriko and also Harumi if I were free.
I need to be patient for one more month, then I could get out of here.
You were a Sukeban (girl gang boss), weren't you?
You only think of yourself and nobody else.
How could you be a leader with such a dirty spirit?
If you feel mortified about what I did, you should do the same thing!
What?
Hey, what are you doing?
Get out, now!
How's everything going, Ms. Matsumoto? Used to living here yet?
I know it's easier to clean up this room with me, right?
Chairman.
Maki Kyoko's mother is visiting her.
Today's the 20th, right?
Is there anything wrong?
Kyoko's face was bruised in yesterday's fight.
I see.
What can we do...
Can I see Kyoko?
Well, ma'am...
because of an escape attempt by one of the girls today...
unfortunately, we don't let the girls have any guests.
But, sir, I just need five minutes.
I need to tell Kyoko something about her baby.
I mentioned this to the chairman already...
because of school rules, we can't make any exceptions.
I see.
Today's the last day for our food reduction punishment.
I lost 3 kg already.
Can't bear a grudge against food.
Won't you eat?
Hey sis, take it.
What's going on, Kyoko?
Are you feeling bad?
I don't think so, sis.
Kyoko might be worried about her mother 'cause she didn't visit her today.
Your mother came here today.
She was talking about the baby...
but the chairman and the chief sent her back.
Is this true, Mina?
113 students.
Well, how many students do we really have?
78 students.
We always pad the numbers.
I think it's okay on paper, but how are we really?
What are you talking about?
At present, the Ministry of Justice is strict, I've heard.
How can we pad the amount of student when we're inspected by them?
Don't worry about this matter.
I'll ask them to see how the girls are living here.
The students will be split into groups and put in different places.
We'll control their movements in the school.
I trust you anyway.
With the padding we'll get more subsidy.
If they find out, we'll loose this school...
and moreover, we might get arrested.
Hey, where are you going!?
Catch her!
Hey, wait!
What's going on?
Why didn't you let me see my mother!?
What the hell are you doing?
Calm down!
Leave me alone! - Listen!
The chairman thought your mother would worry...
if she saw the injuries on your face.
You assholes!
There's nothing wrong with my face!
I had something to give to her. A knit for my baby!
Idiot!
How can you be a good mother for your baby?
You fucked so many guys, you don't even remember!
Maki!
Good!
Leave me alone! - Stop it!
Behave yourself!
Bring her out!
Come on, let's go!
She's always hysterical. Chairman?
We only have two days before the inspection.
Until that day, calm them down somehow.
And we'll add three more days of punishment to all the students.
We don't even have any break time.
Yeah. We don't care about the government inspection.
And did you hear about them extending reduced food punishment?
I'm sure they're also cheating on the expense of our food.
How ridiculous!
Even animals in zoos are fed better than we are.
You're right! This place is worse than any zoo.
Oh my god, after work, they won't even let us take a bath?
We know they're also cheating on the amount of hot water too.
Ridiculous! - Stop joking!
Aoki, how are you feeling?
Stand up. I'll get you back like in the old days.
Did anything interesting happen while I was gone?
Ruriko, don't you have anything to say to us?
We had terrible days because of you.
Just look at Kyoko's face.
Kyoko, say something!
You should! You couldn't see your mother because of her.
Stop, you guys! Stop it!
Stop it already!
Kyoko!
Don't you hate her?
The crazier I act, the longer I'll have to stay here.
Well, I understand how you're working hard in this school.
Well, whenever somebody finishes rehabilitation and enters normal life...
we feel extremely happy.
I think so, too.
I continue with this job just to have that special feeling.
And also, those girls were actually insulated from normal places.
But when we're all living together, we start seeing how lovely they really are.
I see.
Well, it's time to give you a tour of the school.
Please follow me.
This is a nice cafeteria.
As you know, in here, students only feel happy when they eat.
This is Ms. Hajima, our nutritionist.
This is a sample of today's dinner for the students.
Please try it.
It looks very good.
Good size portions.
Tastes good, too.
Thank you very much.
It's difficult to make 2,300 calorie a day meals for 65 yen per person.
They're growing very fast...
so I want to cook better and make more food for them. That's all.
You're a good nutritionist.
We want you to increase it by 20 yen per meal because of this.
Well, we'll examine the budget as soon as we can.
Please consider our offer.
This was used as a punishment room.
Don't you use this room anymore?
Of course not.
This school is for education, not a prison.
What we need is good communication, not punishment.
Excuse me.
Please look inside. Its just a closet now.
Why did you stop? What's wrong?
What's going on? It isn't break-time now.
We're hungry.
You guys just finished eating.
You've been feeding us half of usual.
Yeah, for a week already.
Chairman, what are they talking about?
There're just childish students making jokes.
Let's get out here and have some tea.
Good idea.
Hey you! Step aside.
Listen, you've been giving us half portions of food for a week.
Stop it. We'll talk about it later.
Let's talk about it now.
We don't want to work like this anymore.
Right. We're not your slaves.
You always reduce our meals whenever something happens.
We're sick of it!
They're so cool.
Nothing will change no matter what they do.
But if those inspector knows what's going on, they'll be punished, won't they?
Chairman, is what they're saying true?
Well, it's because... - No more lies!
Just feed us enough.
Right, right!
Give us more food!
We need more food!
Get back to your rooms quickly!
Quickly.
Get in there quickly!
Give us more food!
Shut up! Do you really think we have food for you?
Shut up!
Shut the fuck up! The chairman is here!
All of you!
Did you realize how bad you behaved?
I will fix your warped spirits!
Starting today, until you think over what you did...
and apologize for what you did...
you guys will never get dinner!
What? That's too crazy!
And for the next half year...
no one will be released from this school!
No way!
No way! I'm supposed to be released next month!
Next month! Next month!
This sucks. Its worse than before.
Yeah.
Ruriko.
What?
When will you escape again?
Please, let me go with you.
I'm so tired of this place.
Ruriko, us, too! Alrigtht?
No!
The facial cream doesn't work for my skin!
My skin is so rough now!
I'll go with you guys.
My skin needs a better nutrition.
If not, my beautiful face will be ruined.
Whatever.
You can come with me...
but don't expect me to help you. Understand?
Understood. You know everything about escaping. You're an expert.
So, when will we act?
Tonight.
Teacher! Teacher!
What's going on?
My sis, Yuki, is sick.
She's got a really high temperature.
Move quickly!
What're you doing? You'll get everybody killed!
Everybody should die.
Fire!
Open the door!
Let us get out of here! Help us!
Put it out! Put it out!
Put it out!
Maki and Yuki, steal some clothes.
Do you see the keys for the car? Don't bring the wrong ones.
Found it!
You guys!
Ms. Hajima!
Mr. Koide! Mr. Koide!
They escaped!
This is an escape.
What are you doing, Ruriko?
We're gonna get caught.
Not yet? Quickly please!
Stop!
Hey, outta the car!
Shit, they've escaped!
We have to stop them!
We did good.
Kyoko, do you really wanna go home?
Yeah, I do.
If you go home, you'll be caught again, idiot.
What about Mina?
I'm sure she'll go to Osaka.
Your extremely rich patron is waiting for you, right?
Osaka's the opposite direction.
You should get off somewhere close-by.
Hey, we don't have any place to go.
What are you gonna do, Ruriko?
Do you have a place to go?
Yes, I do.
Where? We'll go with you.
A place where you guys don't belong.
Say where it is.
A really big place.
Big place? I don't understand.
A place with no wire fences.
So, where is it?
The ocean.
Ocean?
That's right. The middle of the open sea.
That sounds stupid.
Please stop here.
Here's good.
Have a happy life!
Take care of your baby. Don't abandon her.
What happened?
Out of gas.
What should we do now?
We can't drive this car. They'll find us.
Let's go our own ways.
Okay, let's do it.
Be happy, both of you!
Yuki, let's go.
Mom, open the door!
Who is it?
It's Kyoko.
Kyoko!
Kyoko...
Where's Haruko?
Haruko! Haruko!
It's too late, Kyoko.
It's just too late.
She threw up whenever she drank milk.
She needed your breast milk.
Kyoko?
Have a good life, mom.
Kyoko?
Kyoko! Kyoko!
What are you doing here?
Don't say anything. Just go.
I've been watching you for a while.
Do you know me?
How would I know you?
If you're with me, the police will get you.
We're in the same boat, then.
Where are you going?
The open sea.
The open sea?
Last night, one of the five girls who escaped from Shinai reform school...
was spotted at her mother house in the north of Kyoto.
However she soon disappeared and hasn't been seen since.
Also a criminal robbed a local farm early this morning...
and took about 300,000 yen.
We discovered he's a 20 year old auto mechanic named Kumura Yoichi.
He is considered armed and dangerous.
You're rich now, huh?
Not really.
I lost it when I tried to get away.
Somebody will be happy to find that.
What the hell are you doing?
Cops! Undercover cops!
Papa...
More...
Papa...
Hey, papa.
Yes?
Do you fuck Mina like this, too?
Tell me, papa.
Papa!
What?
What is it?
Mina!
Can't find...
I can't find any of my clothes.
Papa?
I thought you wouldn't be back for another year...
But here you are.
How did you get out of reform school?
I escaped.
Escaped?
I wanted to come home. Here.
To Papa and my house.
My skin's so rough now.
Don't talk like a baby!
I've had enough of you!
You understand how much I worked to cover up what you did?
I hate you. I really hate you!
I did it for you, Papa!
Saburo was a Yakuza.
Once you gave him money, he would come to you again and again.
I thought that's what you wanted, Papa.
So I...
You did it for me?
Don't make a false charge against me!
You cheated on me to have a relationship...
with that crazy Yakuza!
No!
I knew that you treated me very well...
so I didn't do anything with Saburo.
It's the truth!
I love you, Papa.
My happiest moments are when I sleep with you.
I don't wanna hear it anymore.
Anyway, you'll have to go back to that reform school.
If you don't, I'll call the police.
Papa...
You're crazier than I thought. A real nut-job.
You should be in jail!
Get away from here now.
Go away!
What are you doing, crazy bitch?
Give me money.
Money?
300,000 yen.
I told you I lost it.
You could tell a better lie than that.
What are you gonna do now?
Whatever! I just need money!
Wanna sell your body to me?
Hungry for pussy? - Yeah.
50,000 yen to fuck me.
Fine.
It's a deal.
Make it quick.
Treat my body with respect.
It's been a year for me.
I'm almost a virgin again.
What's wrong with you? Can't get it up?
Not at all.
Get started then.
Sorry, I lost count.
How many times we...?
Forget it.
I'll give you all my money.
Hello, Takigawa speaking.
What?
Understood. If you find her, let me know.
Sir, our client in Osaka has died.
I can't believe it.
She should have gone to jail, not a reform school.
Well, where is she?
If I knew that, there wouldn't be a problem.
Yes, Ishida speaking.
What?
Okay, I'll call you back soon.
We just got information that a woman who looks like Maki Kyoko...
got on a train heading north.
Crazy girl. Finally we have one of them.
Wait a little bit. Can I shadow her?
What?
I want her to do as she pleases.
Do what she pleases? - Yeah.
What do you mean by that?
What the hell are you thinking?
One of five escaped girls already killed a man.
I know that.
What I think is, if I shadow her...
I might be able to find the other girls, too.
Welcome.
That's all we need.
Here.
Thank you.
Is something wrong?
I haven't gotten any bread yet.
What? Where did she go?
I don't know her at all!
I don't believe you.
I don't need it anymore. Just give the money back.
Give me my money back!
That's crazy.
Thief! He stole my money!
Police! There is a thief! - Okay, I'll give you your money back!
What's going on in here?
The change I gave her! Change... Change...
Wait! You're the thief!
Thief! Police!
(It's raining... Raining in my heart...)
(It's a sad when my mother tried to fiix my life with her thin arms...)
I have the bath ready for you. You're sweaty, aren't you?
(It's a sad when my mother tried to fiix my life with her thin arms...)
Hey, wanna take a bath together?
(It's a sad when my mother tried to fiix my life with her thin arms...)
(I wasn't a woman because I wanted to be one.)
(She muttered that alone while she looked so cold...)
(I saw the scene in the dusky town...)
Cheapskate.
(A flower was crushed, it's petals were scattering across my heart...)
(I believed his sweet devil words and then lost everything...)
AKIYAMA SUGURU BOARD OF EDUCATION
(I believed his sweet devil words and then lost everything...)
What an idiot.
(I believed his sweet devil words and then lost everything...)
(I wasn't a woman because I wanted to be one...)
(I may have a dead-end life, but I'm still happy today...)
I'm a Sukeban.
But you, why did you become a criminal?
Because I was bored with my life.
Bored...
So what.
I became a Sukeban because I was bored with my life.
A Sukeban must not betray her comrades.
But once they were caught and threatened by police...
they all quit immediately.
They became good girls and I went to reform school.
I can't trust anybody any more.
Me neither?
I trust you.
Do you want to be with me forever?
I'm kidding.
I'm going out to the open sea, anyway.
It's something I have to do.
Hey sis, what are we gonna do now?
Let me think about it...
I feel like going to the ocean with her.
Let's go, really.
The ocean that Ruriko told us is very close from here.
Let's go right now! - Yeah!
Hey, mister, she's seriously sick. Please give us a ride!
No, no.
Please! - Stop it!
Yuki, he's a stubborn and stingy man.
Hey, my mom is dying. Please give us a ride.
Okay? Good! Thank you.
You're the nicest guy ever!
The salary of my previous job was 42,000 yen a month.
I could fix any kind of car, but I couldn't afford one.
Believe me, I felt awful having that job.
People who have money can be happy, I think.
By the way...
I think it was good that I stole that money.
Because with that money, I could get it on with you.
What's that? There shouldn't be anybody here at this time.
There's no place to buy anything here.
Why do we have to cook fish in front of the ocean?
What's going on here?
Maki! Yuki!
Ruriko!
I didn't know you guys were here.
We couldn't find anywhere interesting.
Yuki!
They're my friends. We escaped together.
I met him on the way here. The cops are looking for him.
Did he also escape from a reform school?
Stupid! Does he look our age?
But he has a gun...
It doesn't matter who he is to you.
I know you're too young to realize this...
but let me tell you...
to have an interesting life, we should be chased by cops.
I'm not a child. I turned 15 years old today.
She's Mina.
I'm full now.
I haven't eaten this much food in a long time.
We're together again, it seems.
Right.
Nobody will come around here until next summer.
The only thing we have to worry about is getting food.
Don't worry about that. We have the ocean and the fields.
And we also have money.
Are you the one who robbed the farm?
That's none of your business.
But the money is Ruriko's.
This money is for everybody.
This isn't the reform school.
We have to share money, food and everything while we're here.
Your possessions are my possessions, right?
Exactly. Everybody's equal here.
Just follow my plan.
That's dynamite, isn't it?
Right. I collected some every time I escaped.
What're you gonna use it for?
We're gonna take over a ship.
We escaped from reform school but...
nothing will be different if we stay in Japan.
Get a ship and leave this island behind.
What will we do after that?
No idea.
I just know that we'll be free.
I can't stand being trapped behind a wire fence all my life.
We have dynamite and a gun. We can take a ship easily.
That sounds interesting to me. I'm in.
Me, too!
I always wanted to go to a foreign country.
Can we really go?
What do you think?
If all of you guys go, I'm in.
Deal!
I'll look for a ship close by for the next couple of days.
Until then, we'll live together here.
Listen, everybody has to be equal.
There's a crab here! A crab!
A crab?
Quickly! Hey, right there!
Catch it! He went the other way!
Here! Right there...
Here's some gasoline.
It can be used as light during the night.
What's wrong?
Have you slept with Ruriko?
I'm not a kid!
You said you turned 15, right?
Sleep with me.
Hurry up!
What are you thinking?
You're a liar!
Ruriko, you're a liar!
You said we should share everything!
You said everything!
Don't go.
The ship is more important than any man.
Idiot!
What are you gonna do to that crazy guy who knocks you up?
(Anone no ne)
(If I take out 'Anone'', it will be only ''no ne''...)
(No ne)
(If I put 'Anone'', it'll be 'Anone no ne''again...)
(Anone no ne)
(If I change it to 'An ne'', it'll be 'An ne ga ne''...)
(An ne ga ne)
(Even if there is no 'An ne'', I will get something...)
(''I got something.'')
(What I got was a baby...)
(A baby)
(If I put wings for the baby, the baby will be a red dragonfly...)
Kyoko?
Kyoko! Kyoko!
When did you get here?
About midnight.
I couldn't find a place to sleep, so I came here.
Where's your baby?
Mr. Koike, do you think they're all there?
I'm sure of it.
Aoki is here.
With Kyoko, that's three girls for sure.
Hey, there are the other two girls.
Are you ready?
Okay, let's carefully move closer.
What happened between you two?
You aren't even talking to each other.
I'll get out of here after breakfast.
One person must arrest one girl. - Okay, let's go!
Retreat!
Shit! How did they know we were here?
I just got hungry, so I came back here to eat and found them.
I hope I helped you guys.
Kimura's here, too. Kimura Yoichi is here, too.
We need more support!
There'll be more police soon.
Wanna go for it?
Or do you wanna give everything up?
If somebody wants to leave, now is the time.
Once they notice I'm here, I'll be their main target.
It'll be a drag if somebody panics when we start shooting at each other.
Don't be proud of yourself, you're not the only criminal.
I killed a man in Osaka.
Is that true, Mina? - I don't care.
There's no difference between killing and stealing.
What we have to do now is to escape from the cops.
You can go back into to the wire fence if you want.
I'll do anything.
Until I get my ship, I'll do anything I can.
I won't give up, either.
I have to look after my baby's remains.
You guys should get away from here.
You'll be a better girl if you get away from this situation.
Asshole!
Do you remember what Ruriko said?
We share everything while we're here.
I want to get on the ship, too.
Yuki!
If you say so...
Okay.
Everybody have the same thought, right?
Cover the door with this boat!
The other side!
One, two, three! Let's move it!
Get in formation!
They're coming!
Everyone from the reform school!
Come out now!
You are surrounded by police!
It'll be a major crime if you oppose us!
Come out quickly!
We'll win! We'll win!
Kyoko!
It was a mistake that she was born from me.
Tires! Set those tires on fire!
Let's attack them!
Prepare the tear gas canisters!
Fire!
Don't give up! Don't give up!
Hey, let's get away in my truck!
Everybody, hurry up! Quickly!
Pass it to me.
Go!
Yoichi!
I'll kill you all.
You suck!
Get away from me! Get off of me!
You can't do that to me!
Yoichi!
You moron!
You'll go to prison for sure this time.
A prison or anywhere, I'll escape from anywhere!
Wire fences won't hold me back!
