RULES OF PANTANAWITTAYA SCHOOL
Someone says everything has its own rules.
And every rule is for the common good.
HEADMASTER HEAD OF STUDENT WELFARE
But the rulemakers
have never exercised them with integrity.
Many times, we find that the rules
turn into a weight
that suppresses us
to be under its authority.
RULES OF PANTANAWITTAYA SCHOOL
It's time for a change.
Hello. My name is Nanno.
It's nice meeting you all.
Go sit over there, Nanno.
I'm Nanno. What's your name?
Excuse me.
Coming here in the middle of the semester,
you have to pay more attention in class, Nanno.
Students, turn your book to lesson 4, page 128.
Hey, my name is Mie.
What is that?
Nothing, I just dropped a pen.
Be careful, Mie. If you do that, other people will lose focus.
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.
Nanno.
Today, the Administrative Department will randomly check your belongings.
-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.
Isn't an obsolete protocol like this a violation of privacy?
The more ancient it is, the better it is.
Ancient things are tested over time.
And as this school's rule says,
the students must follow the teachers' orders strictly.
So, violation or not,
I'll be the judge of that.
I hope you don't have any problems.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, Teacher B.
My pleasure, Teacher A.
Let's continue our lesson.
The French Revolution took place
-during the reign of Louis XVI. -Nanno!
It was the time of change back then.
-Nanno! -There was an economic crisis…
Dear beloved students,
the thing that makes Pantanawittaya grow strong
as a pillar in the society,
is having discipline.
The teachers' goal
is to see the students become good people and do good.
And what helps you achieve your goal
in a world full of temptation
is discipline.
So, when it comes to boarding school,
the teachers can make any rules they want?
Yes. Here, they do more than what you think, Nanno.
Nanno, you have to be very careful, you know.
The teachers at school dislike people like you the most.
People like me?
Like, people who like to question.
That's a no-no.
It's not funny, Nanno.
Did you see that there were two empty desks in our class?
Do you know why that is?
Are they sick?
Those belonged to New and Jelly.
The other day Jelly argued that what Teacher B taught was wrong.
And Teacher B was not happy about it, so she threw a board eraser at Jelly.
Sorry, it slipped.
And what are you all waiting for? Take Jelly to the infirmary.
And New, he was recording the video, intending to post it and expose Teacher B.
But she caught him first.
Do you know what happened to those two?
Both of them are being held in the Room of Repentance
by the Administrative Department teachers.
It's been two days. No one has gotten out yet.
I don't know how they're doing.
The Room of Repentance?
Sounds fun. Let's go hang out there, shall we, Mie?
Are you out of your mind, Nanno? That room is scary.
The brash ones got in there and went out tame.
No one wants to enter that room.
Teacher A is here.
You're Nanno?
Yes, ma'am.
You know, don't you?
That we are very strict with the school rules here.
Yes, I do.
That's good.
Since you're a new student, we'll give you a light punishment.
You must recite the 427 rules of this school and know them by heart.
Thank you.
Not here.
RULES OF PANTANAWITTAYA SCHOOL
"The rules for students of Pantanawittaya School,
established in 1892."
-Is this against the rule? -"Rule one. All students…"
But there's no rule forbidding laughing at the school rule.
-What is she doing? -Has she gone mad?
"Rule two."
-"Rule three…" -I think we should call Teacher A.
-Shit! -What is she doing?
-Holy shit. -Shit.
That's the school rules.
Damn.
I've read all 427 rules.
There isn't one saying one shall not burn the rule book.
Take her to the Room of Repentance.
-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.
My goodness.
This looks mysterious.
Will I be murdered?
Dear lovely students…
Lovely yet?
Teacher, please let me out. I have repented.
I promise I won't argue with the teachers anymore.
Please let me out.
We always welcome the repented.
And once you've repented,
you're our valuable personnel.
Jelly, you're ready to be back in society.
Thank you very much, Teacher A.
And how about you, New?
Have you thought it through?
I'm not guilty.
I just wanted to post what really happened.
But that defames the teachers and the school.
Teacher B was teaching incorrectly and she didn't accept it.
And also, she hurt Jelly.
New, just play along, so we can both get out.
But it's not right. I won't take it.
Are we going to put up with this?
If you think so, I'll have no other way out for you.
Then I want to quit this school.
Quit?
Do you think by doing that, everything will come to an end?
Do you know that handling stubborn ones like you is so easy?
We can just put your name on the unpleasant list
and publicize it.
Just by doing that, your chances of admission to schools, universities,
or any companies will be gone.
But… you have no right to do that.
Of course, I do.
And I've done it before.
In the outside world, there are systems supporting each other.
And how about you?
Are you ready to face the future that you've chosen?
Be agreeable, so we can get out.
Tell me again.
Do you still want to quit?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
What?
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
From now on, I won't post anything that may defame the school.
Thank you.
When New first came here, he made the same expression as you.
Spend this time repenting.
And I still insist you recite every rule and know it by heart.
The rules for students of Pantanawittaya School,
established in 1892.
Rule one,
students shall respect and strictly follow the school rules.
Rule two,
students shall respect the teachers
as their own relatives,
and always be grateful to them.
-Teacher A, we have a problem! -Teacher A, we have a problem!
Nanno, didn't you get punished at all yesterday?
They just let me listen to the 427 rules of the school,
repeatedly, in a dark room.
And weren't you scared at all?
Take a look at Jelly. She's a different person now.
See?
New is still sick and hasn't come to school yet.
I didn't let her out. How did she get out?
For me, I was just bored
and…
annoyed by the noise.
Teacher B, you smoke, right?
But it's not that scary.
If everyone breaks the rules,
we can all be partying in the Room of Repentance.
Hey.
Stand up.
I guess I'll be partying alone in the Room of Repentance.
I know all 427 school rules by heart.
Rule one,
students shall respect and strictly follow the school rules.
Rule two,
students shall respect the teachers
as their own relatives and be grateful to them.
Rule three…
I'll ask you one more time. Who in the world are you?
I'm Nanno. Nanno, the new student.
Have you forgotten?
I also want to know…
how long you can put up with this.
Welcome to the Room of Repentance, Nanno.
The atmosphere here is so aesthetic.
Who are you?
I'm Nanno. Why do you keep asking me the same question?
What exactly do you want?
Wow, a new question.
What I want…
I want Teacher B to admit that what she taught was wrong.
And for you, Teacher A to admit
that you're the one who put the cigarettes in my pocket.
And, for the Headmaster
to admit that the students' welfare here sucks.
If I get them all, I'll be satisfied.
Still young, yet so rebellious.
Open her mouth.
So defiant, are you?
Wrath is one of the sins.
Don't get angry, Teacher A.
We should remain virtuous.
Oh, or should this rule apply to students only?
Excuse me.
My name is Yuri. It's my first day of school here.
I would like to enlist as a truant patrol here.
Look at you. You, on truant patrol?
For me, rules are for the common good.
Following rules means doing things for the common good.
I would like to be of your assistance.
And more importantly, I used to study in the same school as Nanno.
I know how to deal with her.
What is this?
I heard that there's a LINE group for rule-breaking arrangements.
So, I created a fake account and joined the group.
That way, we'll get them before they break the rules.
-Go, to the front, go! -Get over here.
Down! On your knees.
-Arms behind your heads. -Hands up.
Damn, how did they know?
There must be a mole.
Hey, do we really have to stay here until tomorrow?
What's your name?
Sittichai, ma'am.
-Which class? -Grade 12, Room 5, ma'am.
-And you? -Peerapat, ma'am.
-Which class? -Grade 10, Room 2, ma'am.
Thanks, Yuri.
You did very well today.
You can go take a rest.
May I take that folder to your room?
Headmaster, please.
Have you all repented?
-Yes, we have. -Yes, we have.
I asked if you've repented or not.
-Yes, we have repented. -Yes, we have repented.
Very well.
We always have a place for the ones who repent.
From now on, the ones who do wrong
will be severely punished.
I'm asking you all to follow the school rules accordingly and steadily,
and not to be tempted by the external factors.
All right. Everyone. Go back to your classes.
This is very kind of you.
Nanno, you're being sluggish as always.
You're still good at being two-faced as always.
So what's the plan this time?
Stop it, Nanno.
What do you think you're doing?
I just want everyone to see
how the rule keepers break the rules.
Look at the camera, Teacher A.
What are you doing, Yuri?
If you take one step closer, I'll send this video to everyone now.
What exactly do you want?
Can I have those papers, please?
The school's sum of received donations and the educational budget
from the Department.
This is pretty interesting.
But… I haven't seen any foreign teachers.
There's not even one computer.
And the school lunches suck.
So, where did all the money go?
Don't be fooled by Nanno.
Those papers are fake.
If they're fake, then they're useless.
Let's throw them away.
Oops!
Look. She's up there.
You…
There she is. Go get her.
I think the important thing for you now is to run away, isn't it?
She's over there. Hurry!
-Hurry up! Go get her! -Come on.
Hurry up and follow her.
-Hurry up! -Let's go.
Sorry, Nanno.
But if I want to end the game, one needs to be sacrificed, right?
Dear revered teachers,
we'd like to announce that
we're no longer subject to the school rules from now on.
How dare you?
So what are we going to do next?
Right. What shall we do?
Shall we force them to write their confession?
About the wrong things they've done in their lives?
Then, we'll expose them to outsiders.
Good.
Yes, that's good.
You heard her.
-Write your confession! -Bring them over.
Hurry up! Go!
Bring them over here.
-Come on. -Get writing.
Go on!
Make them pay for what they've done to us.
Write it down.
-Start writing. -Write everything down.
Are you done? Hurry up.
Write down your confession.
YOU ALL WILL REPENT AND PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
Don't you know how to write?
Can you not write it down?
You can't write in on your own? I'll make you write it.
Write it down. You threatened me.
You can't write it down?
I'll help you write it down.
What you've done to me?
What did you do?
-Write it down. -Forced me to starve.
Forced me to lie.
Forced me to starve.
Write all of them down. What you did to me.
Do you have any regrets? Write it now!
Write it!
Shit! What should we do?
Fuck you, New.
You're the one who choked her to death.
How could you blame only me? You, you, and you did it too.
We just helped to hold her earlier.
We didn't strangle her like you did.
Right.
Seriously,
I didn't agree to this shit,
but I was afraid that I'd be called "ignorant."
What if I got attacked instead, then what?
Right. It's you, New!
This is all your fault.
-How will you take responsibility? -It's your fault!
You killed a teacher.
It's your fault, New!
You all did it too.
-What are we going to do now? -This is on you!
I'll give you all one last chance.
If you're willing to stop, I'll forgive you all for what you did,
including the murder of Teacher A.
Don't give up just yet, guys.
Isn't this the path we've chosen?
If we give up, we'll become like these teachers.
Take a look.
I think it's enough, Mie.
Guys, take the ones who don't repent.
Everything is back to normal.
All right, my beloved students.
As you know, we've been at peace for a long time
under the benevolent school rules,
until there was
a new student who brought filthy thoughts to cause chaos,
and cause trouble for our school.
Are we going to let the new student
cause division among us?
You all were brainwashed by the new student, weren't you?
Those who think Yuri is responsible for all this, raise your hands!
Excellent, my beloved students.
Now that you all have repented,
I would like you all to come out and prove your loyalty,
by eradicating the provocateur
from our school.
And make sure that she will never come back to cause any trouble here.
Let this blade be the proof.
Which of us are the true students of our school?
New, I think you're the first one suitable to prove it.
Take it.
You wouldn't want to end up in jail for killing Teacher A, would you?
Have you forgotten that
the one who started all this was Nanno?
That's a lie. Nanno's dead now.
Why are you still blaming her?
It's time to work.
-Shit. -What's going on?
Everyone! Remain calm!
Hey, it's Nanno.
Greetings, teachers and beloved fellow classmates.
Did you miss me?
Shit!
-Look! -What's all this?
Everyone! Silence!
Right now, it seems like there are more Nannos than what you can handle.
Nanno.
Have you forgotten that I have a gun?
I want to know
if your gun has enough bullets to shoot all of the Nannos.
We do have weapons too, Headmaster.
Right now, we're live from Pantanawittaya School.
And this is our school's headmaster.
Hey, it's me, my lovely students.
Put them down, my love. Put them down.
It's me. Put them down.
I fucking order you to put them down!
I fucking order you to stop!
Shoot.
Shoot me!
Fuck!
Headmaster, say something.
Nanno, you think you've won?
I've won? This is not winning.
This is just the beginning.
Can't you see that your method didn't work?
Are you really not letting me out?
I had a hard time looking for evidence just for you.
Yuri, you're too reckless.
You may find it hard to breathe here.
Yes, I was locked in here for a long time.
There's no phone signal here.
There's no food.
Who says no?
There are lots of people here.
If you eat one another,
you can survive for a year.
That's true. So who will be the first to get eaten?
Is it the black sheep?
I'd better get going.
I'll see you, Yuri.
I'm certain that you'll find a way to get out.
You can do it!
So what should we do next, Nanno?
The rest is up to you all.
Do you think we can face the outside world?
No matter how this story ends,
white, black, or any color…
who's right, who's wrong, or who's better than whom?
Can we really decide
in this gray world?
