[00:02] Narr
    The chaos that followed the Meiji Restoration
[00:05] Narr
    caused a huge increase in political crimes.
[00:07] Narr
    The Kabato Prison Village was created after
SIGN    Kabato Prison Village
[00:11] Narr
    all the prison villages and prisons
    in the country became overcrowded,
[00:13] Narr
    and a new space was needed.
[00:16] Narr
    In 1903, the year prior to
    the Russo-Japanese War,
[00:20] Narr
    it changed its name to "Kabato Prison."
SIGN    Punishment Cell: The Dark Room
[00:25] Guard
    You're going back to the normal cells.
[00:28] (Flashback) Guard
    Good for you.
[00:30] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Sniffle.
[00:33] (Flashback) Guard
    What's wrong, Shiraishi?
[00:36] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    The lizard who's been my
    buddy for a month ran away!
[00:41] (Flashback) Guard
    Get out of there.
[00:45] Shiraishi
    I've snuck into every joint
    in the whole country,
[00:49] Shiraishi
    and I've been able to escape from every one!
[00:53] Kiroranke
    Why do that?
[00:54] Kiroranke
    Is escaping from prison your hobby?
[00:56] Shiraishi
    Of course not.
[00:58] Shiraishi
    It's thanks to a certain guy that
    they call me the Escape King.
[01:03] Kiroranke
    Who's that?
[01:05] Kiroranke
    Kumagishi Choan. A master
    money counterfeiter.
[01:09] Kiroranke
    I met him in Kabato Prison.
[01:13] Kiroranke
    If I hadn't met him, I wouldn't
    have fallen in love like that.
SIGN    Love Made Me Escape From Prison
[01:25] Guard
    Out of your cells, everyone!
[01:28] Shibukawa
    What?
[01:29] (Flashback) Guard
    Line up in the hallway!
[01:35] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Wow, that's bad.
[01:36] (Flashback) Shibukawa
    That's the prisoner that fled during
    outside work duty two days ago.
[01:40] (Flashback) Guard
    Everyone who's planning to run away,
    look at this body carefully.
[01:44] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    You'd have to be an idiot to run
    away during work duty, right mister?
[01:50] (Flashback) Guard
    You're Shiraishi, huh?
[01:51] (Flashback) Guard
    You just got here, and they already
    threw you in the dark room, I heard.
[01:56] (Flashback) Guard
    I heard you escaped all
    the time from juvie, too.
[02:01] (Flashback) Guard
    Little shit.
[02:02] (Flashback) Guard
    I'm giving you a strip search,
    and you alone! Clothes off!
[02:05] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    What? No fair!
[02:11] (Flashback) Guard
    Hey, why'd you have a bug under your armpit?
[02:14] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    That's Sen-chan the dung beetle!
[02:16] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    She keeps me company.
[02:18] (Flashback) Guard
    Bullshit!
[02:19] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Wait, wait!
[02:21] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Fine. I'll let her go, so don't kill her.
[02:25] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Jeez...
[02:26] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Don't be too mean to me, please.
[02:30] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Or I'll escape when you're on duty.
[02:37] (Flashback) Guard
    I don't like him.
[02:40] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Um, you said that anyone who tried to escape
    during work duty was an idiot, right?
[02:46] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Why is that?
[02:47] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I mean, think about it.
[02:49] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    The guards all know that people
    try to run away on work duty.
[02:53] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    So they watch us especially close
    when we're outside the walls.
[02:56] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    And they tie us up together.
[03:00] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I know people who escaped, but got caught
    because their partner was too slow.
[03:04] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    But the biggest problem is that
    it happens during the day.
[03:07] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    These red prison outfits stick out too much.
[03:11] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    What matters with escaping
[03:13] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    is the time between when you
    run and when the guard notices.
[03:16] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    You have to keep that
    time as long as possible.
[03:19] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Which means if you want to run,
    you do it secretly at night.
[03:25] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Shiraishi-san, if you're going
    to escape, please take me.
[03:29] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    What did you do?
[03:34] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Kumagishi Choan is my name.
[03:36] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I got life imprisonment
    for money counterfeiting.
[03:39] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I won't be leaving here until I'm dead.
[03:42] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I'll think about it, but
    what will you do for me?
[03:47] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    You good at anything
    other than making fake money?
[03:50] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I'm good at drawing! I'm a painter!
[03:55] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Okay, start by drawing me porn.
[03:58] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Porn?
SIGN    Letter-Writing Room
[04:05] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    What the hell is this?
[04:07] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Sister Miyazawa.
[04:08] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    She used to visit until a few years ago.
[04:11] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Right now she serves the Lord in
    prisons all around the country.
[04:17] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    She's a beautiful nun.
    I still remember her sometimes.
[04:22] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    She doesn't look pretty at all! You suck!
[04:25] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I can tell why your
    counterfeiting got found out!
[04:28] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I asked for porn.
[04:31] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    What am I supposed to do with this picture?
[04:33] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Sheesh.
[04:41] (Flashback) Shibukawa
    Shiraishi...
[04:44] (Flashback) Shibukawa
    They say the normal cells all
    have an odd number of prisoners.
[04:48] (Flashback) Shibukawa
    Three, five, seven...
[04:51] (Flashback) Shibukawa
    Do you know why that is?
[04:54] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Because it's easier for two
    people to talk about escaping?
[04:58] (Flashback) Shibukawa
    It's to stop them from having gay sex.
[05:01] Shiraishi
    ...is what the guy tells me!
[05:02] Kiroranke
    What are you even talking about?
[05:06] Shiraishi
    So anyway, there's this thick strip
    of cloth on the collar of your uniform
[05:10] Shiraishi
    with your prisoner number.
SIGN    13-15-2
[05:12] Shiraishi
    I was able to hide it in a little gap
[05:14] Shiraishi
    there so they couldn't find
    it during strip searches.
[05:17] Shiraishi
    No matter how hard things got, it made me
    feel better, thinking about the nun.
[05:23] Shiraishi
    Every day I would look at the picture
    and imagine what she was like.
[05:29] Shiraishi
    What's your voice like?
    What's your face like?
[05:33] Shiraishi
    I want to meet the real you!
[05:44] Shiraishi
    Love made me escape from prison.
[05:52] Shiraishi
    The soil around Kabato Prison
    is like thick clay.
[05:55] Shiraishi
    So I talked to a serial pickpocket
    and had him make a mold of the key.
[06:00] Shiraishi
    And then I kneaded together
    the paper we used for letters
[06:03] Shiraishi
    and some rice grains in the shape of a key.
[06:09] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Not hard enough.
[06:11] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Shiraishi-san!
[06:13] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I stole some flax seed oil.
[06:16] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    It's what's called a dry oil.
    It hardens when exposed to air.
[06:20] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    We use it for oil paints.
[06:24] Shiraishi
    And so we finished our key.
[06:29] Shiraishi
    The same key is used for everything
    from our chains to the doors,
[06:34] Shiraishi
    so that we can escape in case of fire.
[06:37] (Flashback) Guard
    Strip-search time, Shiraishi! Clothes off!
[06:40] (Flashback) Guard
    We got an anonymous tip that
    you had what looked like a key!
[06:43] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    An anonymous tip?
[06:46] Kumagishi
    Did he want the reward?
[06:54] (Flashback) Guards
    Found it! It was under his tongue!
[06:57] (Flashback) Guards
    You're off to the dark room, Shiraishi!
[07:01] (Flashback) Guards
    In you go!
[07:11] (Flashback) Guards
    Where'd he get this thing in his mouth?
[07:18] (Flashback) Guards
    He ripped off a piece of the bucket.
[07:21] (Flashback) Guards
    But could you really open
    the locks with these?
[07:24] (Flashback) Guards
    It's a fact that he was planning to escape.
[07:27] (Flashback) Guards
    Well, he'll learn his lesson now.
[07:30] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    That's right. That little strip of metal
    was a decoy to distract the guards,
[07:36] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Miyama-chan.
[07:38] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I hid the real key up my butthole!
[07:41] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Oh, no touching.
[07:44] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    It's got poop on it!
[07:47] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    And I was the one who had him make that tip.
[07:49] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    The guards don't look here as
    often as they do the main cells.
[07:54] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I feel bad for Kumagishi-chan.
[07:56] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I forgot to tell him the most
    important rule of escaping.
[08:01] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    "You always do it alone."
[08:05] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Now I just have to wait for
    a night with a big storm,
[08:08] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    where nobody will hear me!
[08:12] (Flashback) Guard
    Strip search, Shiraishi! Clothes off!
[08:14] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Again?
[08:16] (Flashback) Guard
    Turn toward the wall and grab your ankles.
[08:19] (Flashback) Guard
    We'll check his anus, too.
[08:23] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Ow!
[08:24] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Did your wife ever tell
    you that you suck in bed?
[08:27] (Flashback) Guard
    Silence! Search every inch of this room!
[08:31] (Flashback) Guard
    Bring in a new bucket, too.
[08:32] (Flashback) Guard
    Okay!
[08:35] (Flashback) Guard
    A stag beetle?
[08:37] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    That's my buddy. Don't kill her.
[08:41] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    If you do, I'll escape when you're on duty.
[08:47] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    You don't want a salary cut, do you?
[08:52] (Flashback) Guard
    We'll come back.
[09:01] (Flashback) Guard
    Escape! Escape!
[09:03] (Flashback) Guard
    Shiraishi escaped!
[09:10] (Flashback) Guard
    Impossible!
[09:12] (Flashback) Guard
    How'd he get the key?!
[09:14] (Flashback) Guard
    There was nothing!
[09:17] (Flashback) Guard
    We looked everywhere! So where...
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[09:31] Kiroranke
    Not bad!
[09:34] Kiroranke
    So, did you meet the nun?
[09:37] Shiraishi
    After I escaped Kabato, the first
    place I headed was a gambling hall.
[09:42] Kiroranke
    It wasn't to go look for the nun?
[09:44] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Odd!
[09:45] Shiraishi
    It wasn't because I wanted to gamble.
[09:48] Shiraishi
    I wanted information from
    yakuza who'd escaped jail.
[09:52] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Even!
[09:56] Shiraishi
    A nun visiting a prison is
    rare enough to be remembered.
[10:02] (Flashback) Gambler
    I heard something about that from a guy
    who went to Maebashi Prison in Gunma.
[10:06] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Really?
SIGN    Maebashi Prison
[10:08] Shiraishi
    So I went to Maebashi Prison and awaited
    Sister Miyazawa in front of the gate.
[10:15] Shiraishi
    I couldn't wait any longer,
    so I asked the guard.
[10:17] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Um...
[10:19] (Flashback) Guard
    Hey, you! You're Shiraishi!
[10:21] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Sob.
[10:23] Shiraishi
    A guard knew me from juvie so I got caught.
SIGN    Judicial Court
[10:27] Kiroranke
    Are you stupid?
[10:29] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    It wasn't the fastest way,
    but it did get me inside.
[10:33] (Flashback) Prisoner
    Sister Miyazawa? Nope.
[10:36] (Flashback) Prisoner
    I've been here twelve years
    and I've never heard of her.
[10:40] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Aww, so it was bullshit?
[10:44] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Hey, mister.
[10:46] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I'm in the group cell now. It doesn't make
    sense to give me a ball and chain, right?
[10:51] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Take it off. It hurts.
[10:57] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    If that's how you want to
    do this, that's fine by me.
SIGN    Several Weeks Later
[11:02] Guard
    Shiraishi, you win.
[11:04] (Flashback) Guard
    We'll take off your ball
    and chain, so please eat.
[11:09] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    You finally understand?
[11:11] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I was simply asking for better conditions
    on behalf of all the prisoners.
[11:20] Shiraishi
    The group cells at Maebashi were the
    old style, from before the Meiji restoration.
[11:24] Shiraishi
    They're all made of wood slats
    that you can see through,
[11:27] Shiraishi
    and that rain will blow through.
[11:29] Shiraishi
    The toilet was set up so that the
    excrement would have to be carried out.
[11:35] Shiraishi
    There was enough of a gap to put my arm
    through but not enough to reach the lock.
[11:39] Shiraishi
    The old me, anyway.
[11:42] Shiraishi
    I lost weight so I could escape.
[11:51] (Flashback) Guy
    He's going through that tiny toilet hole?
[12:05] (Flashback) Guard
    Escape! Escape!
[12:07] (Flashback) Guard
    Shiraishi escaped!
SIGN    Kanazawa Prison
[12:11] Shiraishi
    A Maebashi guard told me that the nun
    was once at Kanazawa Prison in Ishikawa.
[12:17] Shiraishi
    So I went there.
[12:19] Shiraishi
    This time I just snuck in and
    went to look around when...
[12:23] (Flashback) Guard
    Hey, you're Shiraishi!
[12:27] Shiraishi
    I got caught because the Maebashi
    guard had contacted the local police.
[12:32] Kiroranke
    Of course he did!
[12:34] Shiraishi
    But she wasn't here either, so I fled.
[12:39] Shiraishi
    And so I went from one prison
    to another, escaping each time.
SIGN    Akita Prison
[12:40] Guard
    Hey you! You're Shiraishi!
SIGN    Kyoto
    Government
    Prison
[12:43] Guard
    Hey you! Aren't you, Shiraishi?!
[12:47] Shiraishi
    And so they started to call me...
[12:50] (Flashback) Guard
    Shiraishi's escaped!
[12:54] Shiraishi
    The Escape King!
[12:57] Shiraishi
    And then, when I was in Saitama...
[13:00] Shiraishi
    A farmer beat me up for stealing his
    vegetables and turned me over to the police.
[13:05] Kiroranke
    What's wrong with you?
[13:07] Shiraishi
    And so I was sent to Abashiri Prison,
SIGN    Abashiri Prison
[13:09] Shiraishi
    since they assumed the most secure prison
    in Japan would be enough to hold me.
[13:16] (Flashback) Nihei
    Never heard of Sister Miyazawa.
[13:19] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Not here, either?
[13:24] Shiraishi
    Sister Miyazawa... I'm getting
    the slightest bit tired.
[13:30] Shiraishi
    Where are you and what are you doing?
[13:35] (Flashback) Henmi
    Shiraishi-san!
[13:37] (Flashback) Henmi
    You're imagining the day of
    your execution, aren't you?
[13:41] (Flashback) Henmi
    I get it!
[13:44] (Flashback) Nihei
    Boner!
[13:54] (Flashback) Henmi
    I see.
[13:56] (Flashback) Henmi
    You've been looking for
    this girl for years...
[13:59] (Flashback) Henmi
    That's wonderful.
[14:01] (Flashback) Nihei
    You let a woman ruin your life, Shiraishi.
[14:04] (Flashback) Nihei
    You're supposed to use your dick to ruin her!
[14:08] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    If I hadn't met her, my life would be...
[14:12] (Flashback) Henmi
    It's okay.
[14:14] (Flashback) Henmi
    I'm sure someday... someday, you'll see her.
[14:18] (Flashback) Henmi
    Yes, and someday I'll...
[14:39] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    That's...
[14:41] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Could it be...
[14:44] (Flashback) Guard
    Hey, Shiraishi! Where are you going?
[14:47] (Flashback) Henmi
    I-I'm sorry!
[14:50] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Thank you, Henmi-chan!
SIGN    Chapel
[15:03] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Um... are you...
[15:07] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Are you perhaps...
[15:10] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Are you Sister Miyazawa-sama?!
[15:14] (Flashback) Nun
    Yes.
[15:16] (Flashback) Nun
    Have we met somewhere?
[15:18] (Flashback) Nun
    It's my first time coming to Abashiri...
[15:21] Shiraishi
    There she is... I've finally met her...
[15:24] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I've been looking for you for so long!
[15:31] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    The girl in this picture...
[15:55] (Flashback) Sister Miyazawa
    What can I do for you?
[16:03] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    It looks just like her!
[16:07] Kiroranke
    And that's it?
[16:08] Shiraishi
    Kumagishi Choan is an incredible artist!
[16:12] Kiroranke
    That's stupid.
[16:13] Kiroranke
    I'm going to sleep!
[16:17] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I'm a forger.
[16:19] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    But I didn't want to be.
[16:22] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Someone asked me to do it.
[16:24] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    It's the same with the money counterfeiting.
[16:26] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I couldn't make enough money off my pictures.
[16:28] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    But I still had my pride.
[16:31] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I tried to surpass the original...
[16:34] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Even if poverty drove me to forgery,
    I wanted to still be an artist.
[16:39] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    It was a silly little bit of pride.
[16:41] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    If I could have made the real thing...
[16:44] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Then I never should have made the forgeries.
[16:48] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    I wanted to make true art.
[16:51] (Flashback) Kumagishi
    Real art, that would change
    the lives of those who saw it.
[16:59] Shiraishi
    Really...
[17:02] Shiraishi
    That single piece of paper was what did it.
SIGN    The Terrifying Battle of Deadly Poison!
     A Massive Snake Deep in the Hokkaido Wilderness!
[18:50] Shiraishi
    Ow!
[18:53] Asirpa
    What's wrong, Shiraishi?
[18:54] Asirpa
    Did you go to make osoma and get
    a twig jammed up your butthole?
[18:58] Sugimoto
    Probably cut his balls on bamboo leaves.
[19:01] Shiraishi
    I tripped and got bitten by a snake!
[19:04] Asirpa
    A snake?!
[19:06] Sugimoto
    That's a viper! It's venomous!
[19:09] Asirpa
    Is it dead? Is it dead?!
[19:13] Shiraishi
    It hurts so much...
[19:15] Shiraishi
    The poison might kill me!
[19:20] Shiraishi
    Asirpa-chan, suck it out!
[19:22] Asirpa
    No! It's disgusting in a lot of ways!
[19:24] Asirpa
    Viper poison rarely kills,
    so just deal with it!
[19:29] Shiraishi
    You guys will have to
    do it, then! Suck it out!
[19:32] Shiraishi
    Come on! Start sucking!
[19:35] Sugimoto
    She said you probably won't die.
[19:38] Shiraishi
    What if all the people who died
    were ones who got bit on the head?
[19:42] Shiraishi
    I'm the only one who knows every
    bit of Abashiri Prison and can sneak in!
[19:47] Shiraishi
    You need me alive, right?
[19:49] Shiraishi
    So come on, Ogata-chan! Suck me dry!
[19:53] Ogata
    I don't want poison getting in my gums.
[20:04] Asirpa
    A smoke that's
    made from burning noya
[20:07] Asirpa
    and wormwood works on snake bites.
[20:09] Sugimoto
    Like burning mugwort on somebody's skin?
[20:12] Asirpa
    All we need to do now is put some
    boiled wormwood on your head,
[20:15] Asirpa
    and you're sure to get better.
[20:17] Shiraishi
    Really? I'm so glad.
[20:19] Asirpa
    But... if it wasn't a normal viper,
     but a saksomoayep,
[20:27] Asirpa
    Shiraishi would be a dead man.
[20:31] Shiraishi
    Huh?
[20:33] Sugimoto
    What's that?
[20:35] Asirpa
    The saksomoayep... "That which
    we speak not of in summer."
[20:39] Asirpa
    It's a giant snake,
[20:40] Asirpa
    who smells so bad that those who
    encounter it have their hair fall out,
[20:44] Asirpa
    and they break out in boils all over!
[20:47] Shiraishi
    Aw, that's ridiculous.
[20:48] Sugimoto
    How stinky is it?
[20:50] Ogata
    You know, I heard that if you whistle
    at night, it will summon snakes.
[20:59] Asirpa
    Stop it!
[21:00] Asirpa
    Stop it!
[21:02] Asirpa
    Stop it!
[21:04] Asirpa
    Stop it!
[21:06] Asirpa
    Stop it!
[21:08] Asirpa
    Stop it!
[21:10] Sugimoto
    It's fine. It's just a superstition.
[21:12] Shiraishi
    I didn't know there was something
    Asirpa-chan was so scared of.
[21:19] Shiraishi
    Huh?
[21:20] Shiraishi
    The stumps we were sitting on...
[21:23] Ogata
    Sugimoto, what's wrong with your face?
[21:28] Shiraishi
    Did you get bit by a snake, too?
[21:31] Sugimoto
    No...
[21:44] Both
    It's the saksomoayep!
[21:50] Narr
    It's not just the Ainu.
[21:53] Narr
    Stories of encounters with a massive
    black snake exist all across Hokkaido.
