"Serial TV Story"
Yoko-sensei's a liar!
Didn't you tell us that Japan would definitely win?
"I'll resign as a teacher."
"That's what I thought."

"Japan is the country of God."
"It was decided we cannot lose."
"For the sake of our country, we are a people willing to give our lives."
That's what we kept telling them.
But we did lose the war...
...and our world has changed.
So what we teach them has to change, too.
Even so, it would be irresponsible of us to make this change...
...pretending what happened before hadn't.
We mustn't do that.
Yes.
It's true though...
...it will be hard. Very hard!
Still, I won't quit from being a teacher.
Never.
I have my responsibilities.
So I won't run away.
Let's choose the hard way.
Let's feel our duty.
Let's throw out our chests!
You're always watching the children and thinking about the children.
I'm the one who understands that best.
Those like us who don't know much about the world and society...
...it's best for us to show the way so people can hang in there.
That's our job, isn't it?
Hey, stand up!
C'mon, stand up!
You know why I told you to stand up, don't you?
Get a grip!
Ow! That hurts!
That was the most painful one so far.
Because that was your worst expression so far.
Eh...
I'm sorry.
"Arakeyama National Elementary School"
"This Imperial garden is from the Emperor Meiji himself..."
"...and from its lower forest paths and undergrowth..."
"...it is, in many respects, an honorable garden."
(Principal Umeda, you're in charge here, right?)
(It's you who determines the education policy guidelines for the teachers.)
Is it you who determines the educational policies for the teachers, isn't it?
Yes!
But that...
He couldn't help that since those were the orders from the country.
(She said that he had no choice...)
(...but was simply following government orders.)
(If you thought it was wrong, you should have refused those orders.)
If you thought they were wrong, you should have refused them.
That he couldn't have done that...
You understand that as a Japanese yourself, don't you?
That's enough... Takahashi-sensei.
(By the way...)
(...I wanna know who became a teacher after this school was nationalized.)
He's interested in finding out who...
...joined in education after the nationalization of the school.
"Teacher: Maruyama Yoko"
Sudo... no, Maruyama.
I'm... Maruyama.
(Wait!)
(She wouldn�t cause any trouble. I can assure you of that.)
"I could tell that Iida-sensei was appealing to my clumsy way in English."
"'She was my student.'"
"'She was an excellent student who loved American English.'"
"Please believe me.'"
Mou ii. (Enough)
(Next.)
Iida-sensei...
The Octopus is fine.
"This was connected to my being fired."
"Showa 20, October (1945)"
Shige-niichan...
Welcome home!
I'm so ashamed.
I'm very sorry.
Eh?
What for?
For returning without dying.
I'm so pitiful.
Brother and I...
At the base...
I met him there by chance.
It was just before...
...he was to sail on the submarine.
"You okay, brother?"
"Yeah."
"I've just been worried about my little brother."
"I've managed to live a long time in the Navy, huh?"
"I see..."
"That's true."
"Excuse me, Flight Sergeant Major Sudo."
"I pray you'll be a reliable doctor, too."
"Ouch!"
"Shige."
"Huh?"
"I guess I am scared."
"I don't want to die."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Ah."
"Yeah, I'm not afraid."
"I've resolved myself to dying at any time."
"I see."
"I have to get going."
"So long then."
Truth is...
...afterwards what I felt I wanted to tell him was, "I am scared."
But... I couldn't say it then.
I...
...just told him my official stance.
No...
...somewhere in my heart, I was scorning him.
That's enough.
That's enough, Shigeki.
I...
That's enough!
I...
Shige-niichan...
That's enough.
I should have been the one who died. Not brother!
Not brother...
It was me...
I should've been...
You idiot!
There isn't ANY man who should die!
Your life isn't yours alone!
It's also mine.
It's also Yoko's, too!
And it's also Haruki's!
Understand that, Shigeki!
Haruki died thinking, "I don't want to die. I want to live longer."
Haruki...
Don't think he would have wished for your death!
He would have been the one most thrilled to have you alive!
"I'm home."
What you should be saying is, "I'm home."
Just that is fine.
Just that alone is fine, Shigeki.
Dad...
I'm home.
Yoko...
I'm home.
Welcome home.
Welcome home, Shige-niichan.
Welcome home!
You're home!
Thank goodness...
Thank goodness!
