[00:05] Gu
    It hurts so much!
[00:08] Gu
    Your tears are proof that you
    lack the resolve for this.
[00:12] Gu
    Listen carefully, young ones.
[00:15] Gu
    If you see an old man in times like these,
[00:18] Gu
    assume he's a survivor!
SIGN    Barato
SIGN    Yamamoto Barbershop
[00:28] Gu
    Sheesh...
[00:31] Gu
    The inn town of Barato used
    to be run by the Hidoro clan,
[00:35] Gu
    but now one of their own,
    a man named Kusuda Umakichi,
[00:37] Gu
    built another gambling hall nearby.
[00:40] Gu
    Ever since then, they've been
     killing each other.
[00:43] Gu
    You're a bodyguard, too, right?
[00:45] Gu
    I can tell by looking at your face.
[00:47] Gu
    Who are you going to join?
[00:49] O
    I don't know.
[00:50] O
    By the way, you seen any men
    with strange-looking tattoos?
[00:55] O
    Tattoos?
[00:56] O
    Yakuza tattoos, sure.
[00:59] O
    Not like those.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
SIGN    Sapporo
[02:41] O
    Here you go.
[02:42] O
    A copy of Henmi Kazuo's tattoo.
SIGN    Episode Twelve
    Trickster Fox
[02:45] O
    How'd a screw-up like you
[02:47] O
    manage to get a copy made without
    tipping off a guy like Sugimoto?
[02:52] O
    Don't play dumb.
[02:54] O
    Come with me.
[02:58] O
    Ienaga!
[02:59] O
    He's alive?
[03:01] O
    Is it okay to let a doctor see him?
[03:03] O
    They didn't see the tattoos.
[03:05] O
    We're just borrowing the room.
[03:07] O
    Is there any reason to
    let a guy like this live?
[03:11] O
    Don't tell me you're in love!
[03:14] O
    Shut up.
[03:15] O
    I heard something interesting from him.
[03:18] O
    Ienaga, tell him.
[03:28] Gu
    The fire department and the police
    didn't find any casualties.
[03:32] Gu
    The bodies in the basement seem
    to have been buried in the rubble.
[03:36] Gu
    If those two's bodies are in here,
    they might be down there.
[03:39] Gu
    Shiraishi said that Ienaga and Ushiyama
[03:40] Gu
    were on the second floor until
    just before the explosion.
[03:44] Gu
    I can't see them being
    buried in the basement.
[03:47] Gu
    It's possible the two of them got out okay.
[03:50] Gu
    Get rid of that fish cake.
[03:52] Gu
    That Shiraishi blew up the
    explosives we just bought.
[03:57] A
    Where'd he go?
[03:58] S
    Susukino, probably.
[04:00] S
    That pervert.
[04:01] Gu
    I'm right here!
[04:05] Gu
    We'll need money to buy more explosives.
[04:08] S
    What's the plan?
[04:09] A
    There's a kotan in Naganuma, near here.
[04:11] A
    I have relatives there.
[04:13] A
    We can hunt there to make money.
SIGN    Naganuma
[04:21] A
    Look, Sugimoto. We caught one.
[04:23] S
    You're right.
[04:24] A
    It's a cironnup.
[04:26] A
    A northern fox.
[04:27] A
    We hit it with a stick to finish it.
[04:29] S
    Please do it in one hit.
[04:33] A
    For this trap, you pound four-inch
    nails into an old oil bucket.
[04:37] A
    When the fox sticks its head in to lick
    the oil, it gets caught and can't get out.
[04:44] A
    There's a legend that when it gets
    warm and the red-pelt foxes come out,
[04:47] A
    they do bad things to humans.
[04:49] A
    So we call them ikkakar
    cironnup, "trickster foxes."
[04:54] A
    You can sell a fox pelt for one yen.
[04:57] A
    River otters sell for about the same.
[04:59] A
    Bear belts go for 5 yen this year.
[05:01] A
    Ezo squirrels are cheaper, around 20 sen.
[05:04] Gi
    One fox is 6 big bottles of sake, huh?
[05:07] S
    If you hadn't wasted those explosives,
     right now we'd be...
[05:12] S
    You piss me off.
[05:14] Gu
    Sugimoto, there's also the
    fact that in Sapporo, he...
[05:17] Gu
    Kiro-chan, don't tell him that!
[05:19] Gu
    He borrowed money from Asirpa
    and lost it all at the races.
[05:24] Gu
    You told him!
[05:26] (Flashback) Gu
    Go, go!
[05:27] (Flashback) Gu
    No! No!
[05:31] (Flashback) Gu
    Oh, no...
[05:36] Gu
    You used that money for gambling?
[05:38] S
    Lick the bottom of this bucket.
[05:40] Gu
    No!
[05:45] Gu
    We'll have to stay here for a while.
[05:51] A
    This is Huci's little brother,
     one of six siblings.
[05:55] A
    He's letting us stay in his cise here today.
SIGN    I've been meeting some surprising folks lately!
[06:08] A
    A strange woman came here
    a while ago and is staying.
[06:12] A
    She says she can see the past and future,
[06:15] A
    and she's driving everyone
    in the village crazy.
[06:21] A
    There she is.
[06:27] A
    Her name is Inkarmat.
[06:31] Gi
    Look at our wonderful Nispa guests.
[06:35] Gu
    Shiraishi Yoshitake!
     I'm single, no girlfriend!
[06:38] Gi
    Oh, my! Your head is bleeding!
[06:41] Gu
    I was forced to wear a bucket
    with nails on my head!
[06:44] Gi
    I have a weakness for men with scars.
[06:47] Gi
    You're quite the looker, too, soldier.
[06:52] S
    Thanks...
SIGN    Sugimoto puts poop in his food and eats it.
[06:57] Gi
    Oh, isn't it stinky?
[07:00] S
    Asirpa, you just said the words "Sugimoto,"
    "ohau," and "osoma," didn't you?
[07:03] S
    You told her I eat poop again, didn't you?
[07:06] A
    Did not.
[07:07] Gi
    Wait a second...
[07:10] Gi
    You came from Otaru, didn't you?
[07:14] Gu
    How did you know?
[07:17] A
    She probably heard that my great uncle
    had a lot of relatives in Otaru.
[07:21] S
    I see.
[07:23] Gu
    I can see it...
[07:25] Gu
    You're looking for someone or something...
[07:29] Gu
    No way! Wow!
[07:31] Gu
    You're right!
[07:34] Gu
    I'm a fortune-teller.
[07:37] Gu
    The Ainu call it "niuok."
[07:38] Gu
    When they're uncertain what to do on
    any matter, no matter how big or small,
[07:42] Gu
    they rely on fortune-telling.
[07:44] Gu
    And they obey the result,
    regardless of what it is,
[07:46] Gu
    as the will of the gods.
[07:49] Gu
    Sirakki Kamuy.
[07:50] Gu
    A fox skull used in fortune-telling.
[07:53] Gu
    It's been passed down in
    my family for generations,
[07:56] Gu
    and it's the skull of a white fox,
    the kind with the most spiritual power.
[08:00] Gu
    First, you put the lower jaw on your head,
[08:03] Gu
    and then slowly drop it.
[08:04] Gu
    You look at the way it fell
    to determine your fortune.
[08:08] Gu
    The teeth facing up are a good omen.
[08:12] Gu
    I shall tell your fortune and see if
    you'll find what you're looking for.
[08:25] Gu
    The teeth are facing downwards.
[08:27] Gu
    There is no hope for you.
[08:29] Gu
    I feel an ominous sign.
[08:31] Gu
    You should cancel your plans.
[08:34] Gu
    Seriously?
[08:36] A
    She's just coming up with guesses
    that could apply to anything.
[08:41] A
    I don't believe in fortune-telling.
[08:43] A
    I'm a new kind of Ainu woman.
[08:47] Gi
    I see.
[08:48] Gi
    It's simply a fortune, not an order.
[08:53] Gi
    By the way, is it your father
    that you're looking for?
[09:00] Gi
    It's just a guess, so don't let it worry you.
[09:08] A
    That ikkakar cironnup...
[09:11] Gu
    Her fortune-telling is strangely accurate,
[09:15] Gu
    and the villagers have gone
    crazy offering her gifts.
[09:19] A
    She's probably going to a lot of
    different villages and doing this.
[09:29] A
    I knew it. Shiraishi's missing.
[09:32] S
    Sheesh.
[09:33] Gu
    I found him. I know where he is.
[09:37] S
    Where is he?
SIGN    Naganuma Racetrack
[09:44] S
    Inkarmat-chan, make me filthy rich!
[09:47] Gi
    Sounds fun! I'm in!
[09:49] Gu
    Now, let's pick our horses!
[09:52] Gu
    That's your cue, Inkarmat-chan!
[09:55] Gu
    How about that one?
[09:59] Gi
    There we go.
[10:00] Gi
    That's the horse.
[10:01] Gi
    The Sirakki Kamuy says #4.
[10:04] Gu
    Really?
[10:05] Gu
    You're sure?
[10:07] Gi
    My Sirakki Kamuy never lies.
[10:10] Gi
    I've got just the thing
    for you, Shiraishi-san.
[10:12] Gi
    This is a talisman called an ekaeka.
[10:14] Gi
    If you wrap it around your wrist,
    it will protect you from disaster.
[10:18] Gu
    Thank you, Inkarmat-chan!
[10:20] Gi
    It's twenty sen!
[10:24] Gi
    Okay, I'm counting on you!
[10:26] Gi
    If I lose here, I'm flat broke!
[10:28] ---
    Number 4! Number 4!
[10:30] Gi
    Go! Go!
[10:32] Gi
    Looking good! There it goes!
[10:34] Gi
    Just like that—
[10:38] Gi
    I won...
[10:39] Gi
    I really won!
[10:41] Gi
    Wow, Inkarmat-chan!
[10:44] Gi
    Okay, help me with the next race!
[10:46] Gi
    I've got just the thing
    for you, Shiraishi-san.
[10:50] Gi
    This is an ikema root.
[10:52] Gi
    It smells terrible, so it will keep evil away.
[10:55] Gu
    How much?
[10:56] Gi
    Seventy sen!
[10:58] Gu
    Gimme!
[11:00] Gi
    The next horse to win will be #2!
[11:02] Gu
    Okay, I'm counting on you!
[11:03] Gu
    Come on, #2!
[11:12] A
    There they are.
[11:13] A
    The red fox and the Scat King.
[11:15] S
    Hey, Shiraishi!
[11:20] Gu
    Oh, I thought I smelled
    poor people. It's you guys, huh?
[11:23] S
    Shiraishi, you owe Asirpa-san money,
     and you're still coming to the racetrack?
[11:27] S
    That's pretty damn brave, if you ask me.
[11:29] Gu
    Owe her money?
[11:30] Gu
    How much was it?
[11:33] Gu
    Two yen? Three yen?
[11:35] Gu
    Here, pick it up.
[11:37] S
    What's he—
[11:38] A
    Wake up, Shiraishi!
[11:40] A
    If you try to use fortune-telling
    to gamble, you'll end up regretting it!
[11:44] A
    Don't let this fox woman fool you!
[11:46] Gu
    Who are you calling a fox, you rude girl?!
[11:49] Gu
    Call her Inkarmat-sama!
[11:50] A
    Your breath stinks.
[11:53] Gu
    The two most likely to win next are #3 and #4.
[11:56] Gu
    You can tell fortunes, too, Kiroranke?
[11:59] Gu
    I grew up riding horses.
[12:02] Gu
    I know so much about them that
    during the Russo-Japanese War,
[12:04] Gu
    they had me take care of the
    combat engineer's horses.
[12:08] Gi
    The fox skull says #3 will win next, yes.
[12:11] Gu
    Number 3, right?! Off to go win, then!
[12:14] S
    Wait, you idiot!
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[12:28] Gu
    There you are, Takasaki!
[12:29] Gu
    I've been looking for you!
[12:31] Gu
    What?
[12:31] Gu
    Hey, that doesn't look
    anything like him, idiot!
[12:34] Gu
    Takasaki doesn't have a beard like this!
[12:36] Gu
    And he doesn't dress like an Ainu, either!
[12:39] Gu
    Something wrong?
[12:41] Gu
    The jockey who owns that cap ran.
[12:43] Gu
    Can you ride a horse?
[12:48] Gu
    The horse's owner told his
    jockey to cheat, so he ran.
[12:52] Gu
    The owner is a yakuza boss,
[12:55] Gu
    and he's planning to make
    an unpopular horse win.
[12:57] Gu
    If we fail, they'll make us pay for it.
[13:00] Gu
    We'll give him a lot of
    water before the race.
[13:03] Gu
    That'll make him a lot slower.
[13:06] Gu
    You can just ride it normally.
[13:11] Gu
    You want to win, don't you?
[13:13] Gu
    Hey, hold it down!
[13:17] Gu
    What are they doing?
[13:19] Gu
    That's the horse that's going to win.
[13:21] Gu
    They mix powdered viper into the water,
[13:23] Gu
    then jam a rubber hose up
    its nose and pour it in.
[13:26] Gu
    Sometimes they put it down the
    trachea and kill it, though.
[13:34] Gu
    Hey.
[13:36] S
    Who's there?
[13:37] Gu
    Is that...
[13:39] Gu
    Bet on me.
[13:41] A
    His beard...
[13:42] S
    What's going on?
[13:44] Gu
    I'll give you the details later.
[13:45] Gu
    I'll be riding horse #3 in the last race.
[13:48] Gu
    I'm going to win.
[13:50] Gu
    Inkarmat-sama, please tell me the future!
[13:53] Gu
    Give me guidance for I am a lost!
[13:56] Gu
    Very well...
[14:04] Gu
    The Sirakki Kamuy says that #3 can't win.
[14:09] A
    Shiraishi, that's enough.
[14:13] A
    Fortune-telling is what you need
    when you're not sure what to do.
[14:17] A
    I have no uncertainty on this journey.
[14:19] A
    So I don't need fortune-telling.
[14:24] Gi
    The Sirakki Kamuy says that #6 will win.
[14:27] Gu
    Number 6, right?
[14:28] Gu
    I'll bet everything I have!
[14:29] S
    Shiraishi, you fool!
[14:31] S
    Leave enough to buy explosives!
[14:33] Gu
    No, I'm going to bet it all!
[14:35] Gu
    Inkarmat-sama, go buy the ticket for me!
[14:38] Gi
    Okay!
[14:39] S
    Wait!
[14:41] Gu
    You came to Hokkaido because
    you needed money, right?
[14:44] Gu
    How much do you need?
[14:46] Gu
    You don't need 20,000 kan
    worth of gold, right?
[14:51] A
    Fox woman!
[14:54] Gi
    Did you come to stop me?
[14:56] Gi
    I already bought it.
[14:57] Gi
    All the money he has on #6.
[14:59] Gi
    But wouldn't it be better for you if he lost?
[15:06] Gi
    If those men make a fortune here,
[15:09] Gi
    will they still help you?
[15:13] Gu
    There's a way to make money
[15:15] Gu
    right in front of you that doesn't
    involve risking your life!
[15:26] S
    "I have the money I need, so I'm out."
[15:32] S
    Do you think I could say that to her?
[15:39] Gi
    Your eyes...
[15:41] Gi
    They have a pretty color,
    just like your father's.
[15:47] Gi
    We'll meet again, Asirpa-chan.
[15:56] Gu
    What's this horse's name?
[15:58] Gu
    Reppuu.
[15:59] Gu
    Listen.
[16:00] Gu
    It's #6 that has to win.
[16:02] Gu
    If we don't get #6 to win, we'll be killed!
[16:07] Gu
    Make sure Reppuu drinks all this water.
[16:14] Gu
    Let's go, Reppuu.
[16:23] Gu
    I'm counting on you, #6!
[16:25] Gu
    If you lose, I'll dine on horse stew tonight!
[16:28] Gu
    Go, #6!
[16:35] S
    Kiroranke was slow out of the gate!
[16:36] Gu
    Told you.
[16:40] Gu
    Out of my way!
[16:50] Gu
    Go, Reppuu!
[16:51] Gu
    Run as hard as you can!
[16:53] Gu
    Look!
[16:55] Gu
    How is #3's jockey doing that?
[17:05] A
    This one ticket is for #3.
[17:10] A
    Go, Reppuu! Go, go!
[17:14] A
    What is he doing?
[17:16] A
    Stop! Stop!
[17:23] A
    No!
[17:24] S
    Go, Kiroranke!
[17:26] Gu
    Go!
[17:43] Gu
    Let's get out of here.
[17:44] Gu
    The yakuza boss lost some serious money,
     so he'll be looking for me.
[17:49] Gu
    Where's Shiraishi?
[17:50] S
    Over there. Broken.
[17:53] A
    Let's leave him.
[17:54] A
    He'll follow us.
[17:59] Gu
    I did it! I'm rich!
[18:06] Gu
    I was tricked by a fox.
[18:31] Gu
    Is this what you're looking for?
[18:34] Gu
    What are you after?
[18:35] Gu
    I followed you here because I happened
    to hear rumors about the tattoos.
[18:40] Gu
    But when I saw you at
    the barber, I knew it was you.
[18:43] Gu
    I worked for Lt. Tsurumi, so I know you well.
[18:50] Gu
    Do you need a good bodyguard,
    Hijikata Toshizou-san?
[19:03] Gu
    Hey!
[19:04] A
    Did you wake up from your dream, Scat King?
[19:07] Gu
    Yeah, I guess I had a bad dream.
[19:10] Gu
    Gambling is wrong, huh?
[19:12] Gu
    I've learned my lesson.
[19:13] S
    You haven't learned your
    lesson at all, have you?
[19:16] Gu
    Get to work getting ready.
[19:18] Gu
    Abashiri's a long ways away.
[19:19] Gu
    But first...
[19:21] Gu
    Interested in some special information?
[19:24] Gu
    It had better not be as
    horrible as it usually is.
[19:27] Gu
    Well, hear me out.
[19:28] Gu
    I heard this from a cutie in Susukino.
[19:33] (Flashback) Gi
    A month ago, a man came to my hotel, alone.
[19:37] (Flashback) Gi
    He was a thief,
[19:39] (Flashback) Gi
    but when he snuck into a certain house,
    he saw something strange.
[19:43] (Flashback) Gi
    There were taxidermied human
    mounts made from corpses.
[19:47] (Flashback) Gi
    And he saw a skin with a strange
    tattoo that wasn't a yakuza's.
[19:53] Gu
    And that house is in Yuubari, she says.
[19:58] Gu
    We don't know for sure that the
    Abashiri plan will work, right?
[20:02] Gu
    If we happen to get information on
    the prisoners or tattoos on our way,
[20:06] Gu
    I think it's worth checking out.
[20:11] S
    Yuubari, huh?
[20:20] S
    We have five tattoo code skins.
[20:23] S
    Lt. Tsurumi has at least one...
[20:29] S
    Have they gotten any more?
SIGN    Yuubari
[22:24] S
    Sergeant Tsukishima,
[22:25] S
    keep your eyes on that grave.
[22:28] S
    It was dug just after the accident
    in the coal mines yesterday.
[22:32] S

    spread through Yuubari quickly.
[22:40] S
    I'm sure the grave robber will hear it, too.
[22:45] S
    What's wrong, Nikaidou?
[22:47] S
    Youhei's ears look just like yours.
[22:51] S
    Can I have just your left ear?
[22:54] S
    I feel bad for him, 'cause he's missing one.
[22:57] S
    Sure, sure. Once I'm dead, you can have it.
[23:01] S
    Lt. Tsurumi!
[23:03] S
    Really, Lt. Tsurumi?
[23:14] S
    Follow him.
[23:15] S
    Don't kill him, Nikaidou!
[23:24] S
    He dropped this.
[23:32] S
    Let's bring it to him.
