[00:01] A
    Look, Sugimoto.
[00:03] A
    These are pine cones that have been eaten.
[00:07] A
    There are lots of them.
[00:10] A
    The Ezo Pines are feeding
    grounds for squirrels.
[00:13] A
    If we lay a stick up against the trunk,
[00:15] A
    the squirrels will get lazy and
    use it as an easy way to climb up.
[00:19] A
    Then we put kukuri traps made
    out of wire on the stick.
[00:23] A
    When the squirrels put their
    heads through, it strangles them.
[00:28] S
    You eat squirrels?
[00:29] S
    I like squirrels, though.
[00:32] A
    I like them, too.
[00:33] A
    They only eat nuts, so their
     meat is delicious.
[00:37] A
    And you can sell their
    pelts to get money, too.
[00:40] A
    I hope we catch a lot.
[00:42] S
    Yeah...
[00:44] A
    Let's set them up on other trees, too.
[00:48] S
    If the escaped prisoners
    are looking for the gold,
[00:52] S
    they'll stay in Hokkaido.
[00:54] S
    I'll find them.
[00:57] A
    Hokkaido is a big place.
[00:59] S
    The prisoners aren't wild animals.
[01:01] S
    They won't be able to survive
    hidden in the mountains.
[01:04] S
    But in a small village, outsiders stand out.
[01:07] S
    An escaped prisoner is likely
    to want to hide in a large town,
[01:10] S
    where he won't stand out in the crowds.
[01:13] S
    The most populated cities in Hokkaido are
[01:16] S
    Sapporo, Hakodate, Asahikawa...
[01:19] S
    And this place.
[01:22] S
    Otaru.

SIGN    Episode Two
    Nopperabo
[02:56] Narr
    The last days of the Meiji era.
[02:57] Narr
    Originally a port city,
    Otaru had grown into a
[02:59] Narr
    financial center so powerful it was
    called "The Wall Street of the North."
[03:04] Narr
    It was the largest commercial
    city in Hokkaido,
[03:06] Narr
    and there were Ainu villages nearby.

[03:11] S
    Hey, you come here often?
[03:14] S
    You seen any customers around
    here with weird tattoos?
[03:17] Gu
    What kind of tattoos?
[03:19] S
    Not like the ones the yakuza have.
[03:21] S
    A mix of curves and straight lines...
[03:27] Gu
    Nope.
[03:29] Gu
    What about it?
[03:31] S
    No, never mind then.
[03:38] Gu
    You a soldier?
[03:40] Gu
    I've never seen anybody with those tattoos,
[03:42] Gu
    but I've never seen a guy with
    a body like yours, either.
[03:47] Gu
    It's thanks to people like you
[03:49] Gu
    and the way you fought that we were
    able to get Karafuto back.
[03:53] Gu
    Thank you, really.
[03:58] A
    Have you seen any customers
    with tattoos like this?
[04:01] Gi
    Nope. I've never had a customer
    with something weird like that.
[04:07] Gu
    Hey!
[04:09] Gu
    What the hell is an Ainu brat
    doing in front of my shop?
[04:13] Gi
    Leave her alone, the poor thing.
[04:15] Gu
    You don't have a tattoo yet.
[04:18] Gu
    I'm told Ainu women
[04:19] Gu
    tattoo the skin around their mouth
    when they're old enough to get married.
[04:23] Gu
    But that'll scare off the customers,
     so maybe I'll sell you off somewhere first!
[04:32] Gu
    You stupid brat!
[04:33] S
    Hey.
[04:36] S
    Look at my thumb.
[04:40] Gu
    Who are you?
[04:47] S
    You ever see this tattoo?
[04:52] S
    Just like I thought, they're
    staying away from any place
[04:54] S
    where they have to show their skin.
[04:56] Gu
    But a man once asked me the same question.
[05:04] S
    So they had the same idea I did, huh?
[05:07] Gu
    A tattoo?
SIGN    Clothing Store
[05:09] Gu
    No idea.
[05:10] S
    I see.
[05:11] S
    Thank you.
[05:23] S
    How many?
[05:25] A
    One man.
[05:30] Gu
    How far are they going to go?
[05:33] Gu
    I was planning to find out where they slept.
[05:36] Gu
    But I guess I can do it here!
[05:56] S
    Got him.
[05:57] S
    There's my first one!
[06:08] S
    Where are the other prisoners?
[06:12] S
    I heard you need all those
    tattoos to decrypt the code.
[06:16] S
    You'd have to stay together
    for there to be any point.
[06:18] Gu
    Yeah, I thought the same.
[06:21] Gu
    At first.
[06:22] S
    Why did you leave?
[06:25] Gu
    We killed each other.
[06:27] Gu
    All of a sudden, without warning,
[06:30] Gu
    we started killing each other!
[06:32] Gu
    I had no idea what was going on,
     so I started running!
[06:35] Gu
    I couldn't trust anyone,
    so I was hiding alone.
[06:39] S
    I see.
[06:40] S
    So one of the prisoners realized.
[06:44] S
    What, you don't know?
[06:45] S
    Those tattoos are only usable if
    you kill the owner and skin them.
[06:53] Gu
    That brutal bastard...
[06:55] ---
    
[06:56] Gu
    So, what, you're going to
    hunt us down one by one?
[07:01] Gu
    You'd be better off hunting rabbits, mister!
[07:05] S
    Is that all you have to say?
[07:09] S
    Don't worry. Once you're dead,
    it won't hurt if I rip off your skin.
[07:18] A
    Hey, Sugimoto.
[07:20] A
    You promised not to kill him.
[07:23] A
    If you kill him, I won't help you.
[07:26] S
    Asirpa-san, you need to play along, okay?
[07:30] S
    I was going to scare him
    into telling me some things.
[07:42] S
    You're good at this, Asirpa.
[07:44] S
    It's well-drawn.
[07:45] A
    This is great, Sugimoto.
[07:48] A
    You call it a "pencil"?
[07:49] A
    It's very convenient.
[07:55] A
    My father was good with his hands, too.
[07:58] A
    So women loved him.
[08:01] A
    Ainu men give makiri they made
    themselves to the women they love.
[08:06] A
    The women look at how well-made it is
[08:08] A
    and use that to determine how
    well the man can support them.
[08:12] A
    My father made me this menoko makiri.
[08:21] A
    What kind of man carved that tattoo?
[08:25] Gu
    "Nopperabo."
[08:28] A
    What does that mean?
[08:30] Gu
    He had no face.
[08:41] S
    Who's there?
[08:42] S
    Did he have someone with him after all?
[08:45] S
    What are you doing?
[08:46] S
    He'll shoot you!
[08:47] A
    I'm making a smoke screen.
[08:49] S
    I'll give you covering fire. Hurry!
[08:55] Gu
    A Type 26 revolver...
[08:58] Gu
    At 300 meters, the bullets can't reach me.
[09:08] Gu
    She put green wood on the fire, huh?
[09:42] Gu
    What?
[09:50] S
    I planned to take him alive, but...
[09:55] S
    I can't beat this guy if I hold back!
[09:57] S
    Move and I shoot!
[10:07] S
    A soldier. I knew it.
[10:09] S
    And the Regiment Number on his epaulet...
[10:12] S
    The Hokkaido 7th Division,
    the strongest in the army!
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[10:22] Gu
    The Imperial Japanese Army's 7th Division.
[10:26] Gu
    During the Russo-Japanese War,
[10:27] Gu
    they were sent into the deadliest
     battlefields, like the Siege of Port Arthur,
[10:31] Gu
    and despite suffering heavy casualties,
    they contributed to the victories there.
[10:34] Gu
    They are the army's strongest division,
[10:36] Gu
    and the people of Hokkaido call them
[10:38] Gu
    the Guardian of the North
    out of fear and respect.
[10:41] S
    The prisoners are dangerous, but these
    guys are bad enemies to have, too.
[10:46] O
    Who are you with?
[10:49] S
    I was with the 1st, but my enlistment
    term just ran out, and I left.
[10:53] O
    I see.
[10:54] O
    Then we may have met at 203 Hill.
[10:58] O
    You don't seem to understand how dangerous
    a gamble it is that you're making.
[11:04] O
    Are you after money?
[11:07] S
    Nope.
[11:09] S
    I'm doing it for the girl I love.
[11:21] A
    Sugimoto!
[11:25] S
    Sugimoto of the 1st Division.
[11:29] S
    Immortal Sugimoto?
[11:32] A
    Ow!
[11:39] A
    He's going to fall!
[11:51] S
    If he'd escaped, his friends
    would've come after us.
[11:54] S
    This was for the best.
[11:57] A
    "Immortal Sugimoto."
[11:59] A
    What does that mean?
[12:02] S
    There's one way to not die
    that I learned in the war.
[12:06] S
    Don't be killed.
[12:09] S
    Asirpa-san, I'm not a murderer.
[12:13] S
    But if they're going to kill me,
    I'll kill them first without hesitation.
[12:17] S
    "The weak get eaten."
[12:20] S
    That's the same everywhere, right?
[12:26] S
    Even in a situation like this,
    you still get hungry, huh?
[12:29] A
    We're alive, so of course we get hungry.
[12:31] A
    Let's prepare dinner at my hunting tent.
[12:35] A
    We'll eat the squirrels we trapped.
[12:38] A
    I'll make them into chitatap.
[12:39] S
    Chitatap?
[12:40] A
    You chop them with a blade
    to make ground meat.
[12:42] A
    It's an Ainu dish.
[12:44] A
    First you skin them.
[12:45] A
    Once you score the pelt, you can take it off
     like you were removing a suit of clothes.
[12:50] A
    Squeeze out the contents of the
    organs and wash them clean.
[12:53] A
    The gall bladder is bitter, so we remove it.
[12:56] A
    You toss the whole brain into the chitatap,
     but it's delicious even by itself.
[13:01] A
    Sugimoto, you can have the brain.
[13:05] S
    Asirpa, do you eat it raw?
[13:08] A
    What does that mean?
[13:09] A
    Do you have a problem with the way we eat?
[13:12] S
    No...
[13:14] S
    I'm just not used to eating stuff like that.
[13:17] A
    Then eat the brain.
[13:28] A
    Is it good?
[13:30] S
    Yeah.
[13:32] S
    Squirrels are small, so we chop the meat
    with a tashiro to make a chitatap.
[13:35] S
    A chitatap doesn't have
    parts that are hard to eat,
[13:38] S
    so you can eat the whole thing.
[13:41] S
    Who taught you how to hunt?
[13:45] A
    My father.
[13:46] A
    I don't have any brothers,
[13:48] A
    so my father always took me hunting.
[13:51] A
    I like the mountains more
    than I like weaving at home.
[13:57] A
    Take my place.
[13:58] A
    Chitatap means "something we carve together."
[14:01] A
    The "we" comes from the fact
    that we take turns chopping.
[14:04] A
    Say "chitatap" as you chop.
[14:07] S
    Chitatap, chitatap, chitatap.
[14:11] S
    Chitatap, chitatap, chitatap.
[14:12] A
    Chitatap is only made from fresh kills.
[14:15] A
    You eat it raw, after all.
[14:18] A
    But you're a rich and refined Sisam,
     so I'll put it all into an ohau for you.
[14:23] S
    A meat version of fish ball soup, huh?
[14:25] S
    Thanks.
[14:27] A
    The blood and bones went
    into the Chitatap, too.
[14:29] A
    So the salt and broth
    taste will soak into it.
[14:32] S
    Thanks for the meal.
[14:40] S
    It's good!
[14:43] S
    There's no bad smell to the meat.
[14:44] S
    It's slightly sweet.
[14:45] S
    And the tiny chopped bones in the soft
    meat give it a nice crunchy texture!
[14:51] A
    Hinna, hinna.
[14:53] S
    What's that?
[14:55] A
    Words of thanks.
[14:57] A
    We say them to the food.
[15:00] S
    Hinna.
[15:04] A
    Hinna hinna.
[15:06] S
    Hinna hinna.
[15:13] Gu
    We found him on the riverside in the evening.
[15:15] Gu
    Any later and he would've
    died of hypothermia.
[15:20] Gu
    Someone attacked him in the mountains?
[15:23] Gu
    Why was Private Ogata out
    in the mountains by himself?
[15:31] S
    There's the second one!
[15:37] S
    Did you run from the other prisoners
    after they tried to kill you, too?
[15:41] S
    How many prisoners are there?
[15:45] S
    Where were you supposed to
    meet Nopperabo's friends?
[15:51] S
    Did the trap crush his vocal chords?
[15:53] Gu
    Is that Ainu your pet?
[15:57] S
    You want me to break your jaw so
    you really won't be able to talk?
[16:01] A
    Stop it, Sugimoto.
[16:04] A
    I don't care.
[16:05] A
    I'm used to it.
[16:10] S
    There's no need to be used to it.
[16:14] A
    Sugimoto!
[16:16] A
    Look! A rabbit!
[16:18] S
    Where? I can't see it.
[16:20] A
    You can see the ears there, right?
[16:21] A
    With black tips.
[16:22] S
    You're right.
[16:25] S
    But it's hidden, so I can't hit it.
[16:27] S
    I don't want to just wound it.
[16:28] A
    When a rabbit's running
    around during the day,
[16:31] A
    it's because the weather is getting bad,
     and it needs to find a safe place.
[16:34] A
    Let's catch him and hide
    in the tent for today.
[16:41] Gu
    The man's name was Shiraishi Yoshitake.
[16:45] Gu
    A master escape artist called
    "The Escape King."
[16:55] A
    Well, Sugimoto? I got it!
[16:58] A
    Behind you!
[17:00] S
    What?
[17:02] S
    You're kidding me!
[17:03] A
    Sugimoto, don't go too far!
[17:06] A
    The weather!
[17:07] S
    You head to the tent,
    Asirpa-san! I'll catch him!
[17:13] A
    I want to eat this rabbit now, though.
[17:19] S
    You bastard...
[17:21] S
    Get back up here! I'll shoot you!
[17:22] Gu
    Go ahead, and do it!
[17:24] Gu
    I don't care if I get shot now or later!
[17:29] Gu
    Gunshots?
[17:31] A
    Nipusfum.
[17:33] Gu
    Nipusfum, in the language of the Ainu,
    means "The Sound of Splitting Trees."
[17:38] Gu
    A brutal cold wave of -30 degrees Celsius
    causes a rapid drop in temperature,
[17:43] Gu
    which causes the water contained
    with the trees to freeze,
[17:45] Gu
    and the trunks to shatter.
[17:48] Gu
    Wait, damn it!
[18:08] Gu
    This is not good!
[18:14] Gu
    This cold is too much!
[18:16] Gu
    My head feels like it's splitting!
[18:19] Gu
    Fire! We need to start a fire, or we'll die!
[18:26] Gu
    It's no good!
[18:27] Gu
    They have only ten minutes
    to take action to survive.
[18:31] Gu
    Let's rub wood together to start a fire...
[18:33] Gu
    Hypothermia results in muddle-headedness.
[18:35] S
    That's not going to work, you moron!
[18:38] Gu
    Hypothermia results in an
    unconcerned expression.
[18:41] S
    Right! My gun!
[18:42] S
    Where's my gun?
[18:46] S
    Is that it?
[18:48] S
    I dropped all my bullets
    with gunpowder in them!
[18:51] S
    Damn it!
[18:53] S
    I'm not going to give up!
[18:55] S
    I'm going to survive!
[18:59] S
    I'm Immortal Sugimoto!
[19:06] Gu
    What are you doing?
[19:09] S
    You! If you don't want to die,
[19:11] S
    find the bullets that fell into the river!
[19:14] S
    We should be able to use
    the gunpowder... inside!
[19:19] Gu
    We make a deal!
[19:21] Gu
    I'll help you, so let me live!
[19:23] S
    You can shove your deal up your ass!
[19:26] S
    We're both going to die!
[19:28] Gu
    Are you going to take the deal? Well?
[19:30] S
    Fine!
[19:32] S
    Just get in the river and start
    looking for those damn bullets!
[19:39] Gu
    In case I ever need to shoot
    the lock off a jail cell.
[19:44] Gu
    It's so cold, I forgot.
[19:48] S
    Okay... all... ready!
[20:07] Gu
    There are 24 tattooed prisoners in all.
[20:10] Gu
    Who knows how many are alive?
[20:15] Gu
    As for Nopperabo's friends,
    I really have no idea.
[20:18] Gu
    The only one who knows is the leader
    of the prisoners, who lead the escape.
[20:23] S
    What's he like?
[20:25] Gu
    I thought he was just some old
    man who was a political criminal.
[20:29] Gu
    He was a quiet, model prisoner.
[20:31] Gu
    But he had us all fooled.
[20:35] Gu
    He stole a sword off one of the
    soldiers right in front of me,
[20:39] Gu
    and in less than a second,
    three men were dead.
[20:42] Gu
    I learned later that he was a survivor
    of the Hakodate War thirty years ago.
[20:48] Gu
    A samurai from the old shogunate.
[20:51] Gu
    What I was told was that he was supposed
    to have died during the Hakodate War.
[20:58] Gu
    The Demon Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi,
[21:01] Gu
    Hijikata Toshizou...
[21:04] Gu
    I'll tell you one more thing.
[21:07] Gu
    This is what Nopperabo told us prisoners.
[21:11] Gu
    "Go to Otaru."
[21:16] S
    Shiraishi, is that your name?
[21:19] S
    Give up on the Ainu gold,
    and get out of Hokkaido.
[21:24] S
    It's not just the other prisoners and
    Nopperabo's friends who are after the tattoos.
[21:31] S
    The 7th Division, back from the
    Russo-Japanese War, is after them, too.
[21:35] Gu
    I'm the Escape King.
[21:37] Gu
    No matter who catches me,
    I'll escape like smoke.
[21:41] Gu
    See you around, Immortal Sugimoto.
[21:54] Gu
    Lt. Tsurumi!
[21:56] Gu
    Ogata's woken up!
[21:58] Gu
    I see.
[22:01] Gu
    Then I guess I'll pay him a visit.
