SIGN    Lake Kussharo
[00:14] Gu
    Pekanpe?
[00:15] Gu
    You found a lot.
[00:17] Gi
    I grabbed them as we passed
    through Lake Touro.
[00:21] Gu
    When?
[00:22] Gi
    "Pekanpe" means "things which
    float on the lake surface."
[00:25] Gi
    They're Japanese water chestnuts.
[00:27] Gi
    We use them as a nonperishable
    food in winter.
[00:29] Gu
    These things are so thorny.
[00:31] Gu
    Ancient ninjas used to dry them
    and use them as caltrops, right?
[00:36] Gi
    Ninja?
SIGN    Huci's 13th Younger Sister's Son
[00:44] Gi
    Kotan-kor Kamuy is noisy lately.
[00:48] Gi
    A type of owl.
[00:49] Gi
    It's a kamuy that protects the village.
[00:51] Gi
    It yells at the demons that come from the
    top of the mountains in a loud voice.
[00:55] Gu
    We can't just rely on the
    kamuy for everything.
[00:58] Gu
    If they come, the village men
    will risk their lives to fight.
[01:03] Gu
    "They"?
[01:04] Gu
    Bandits that have come to live in this area.
[01:08] Gu
    They travel through the
    darkness without even torches,
[01:10] Gu
    coming through the forest to attack.
[01:13] Gu
    None of them can see. They're blind bandits.
[01:17] Gu
    Someone saw them during an attack.
[01:21] Gu
    Their leader's body has strange tattoos.
[01:28] Gu
    An escaped prisoner from Abashiri?
[01:31] Gu
    One of the ones doing hard labor on Mt. Iwo.
[01:36] Gu
    His name is Toni Anji.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
SIGN    Lake Kussharo
SIGN    Mt. Iwo
SIGN    Lake Mashuu
[03:11] Gu
    It was said that nobody sent
    to Mt. Iwo ever came back.
SIGN    Abashiri
[03:17] Gu
    Iwo means "sulfur." It's a critical resource
    used in gunpowder and other things.
[03:23] Gu
    But the sulfuric acid gas it puts out goes in
    through eyes of the people who dig it up.
[03:29] Gu
    It took just six months for them
    to shut down the operation,
[03:34] Gu
    and in that time forty-two died and
    who knows how many went blind.
[03:38] Gu
    But I heard a rumor that
    it was secretly restarted,
[03:41] Gu
    and Warden Inudou is lending
    out prisoners to it.
[03:46] Gu
    The ones who fled before they
    were killed are Toni's bandits.
[03:51] Gu
    During the last new moon the
    village next to ours was attacked.
[03:54] Gu
    They're careful.
[03:57] Gu
    They attack entire villages in large groups,
[03:59] Gu
    and always on the new moon,
    when there's no light.
[04:02] Gu
    It'd be faster to find their
    hideout than wait for the new moon.
[04:07] Gu
    There's a hot springs inn
    run by a Japanese near here.
[04:11] Gu
    You may learn something there.
[04:12] Gu
    Hot springs?
[04:13] Gu
    That sounds great! I'd love to take a bath.
[04:24] Gu
    Asirpa-san, is something wrong?
[04:26] Gi
    No. I just heard sounds from the
    forest I'd never heard before.
[04:36] Gi
    Maybe I imagined them.

    The Sound of
    an Ambush
[04:42] ---
    I've touched the bodies
    of many different people.
[04:46] ---
    But I've never seen such soft muscle before.
[04:50] ---
    My hands are sinking in it.
[04:53] ---
    Like a big cat... no, a tiger.
[04:57] ---
    What a wonderful gift heaven has given you.
[05:00] ---
    And these deep wounds all over your body...
[05:05] ---
    How did you even survive?
[05:08] ---
    Did you know this, masseuse?
[05:10] ---
    When the Ainu have a funeral, they damage
    the individual's kimono and possessions.
[05:15] ---
    That takes out their souls, so their
    owner can use them in the next world.
[05:20] ---
    If you want to take out my soul,
    you'd need a bigger wound than any of these.
[05:26] Gi
    Their souls leave because they've
    finished their job in this world.
[05:31] Gi
    The reason why your wounds don't kill you is
    that you haven't finished your job here yet.
[05:41] Gi
    The masseuse told me there used to
    be more hot springs inns around here.
[05:47] Gi
    When they shut down all operations
    on Mt. Iwo, a lot of inns shut down.
[05:51] Gi
    The buildings are still in the forest.
[05:53] Gi
    Perfect places for bandits to hide, huh?
[05:56] Gi
    Want to go hunting at dawn?
[06:03] Gi
    Are you okay on your own?
[06:05] Gu
    Thank you,
[06:07] Gu
    but I'm better at walking
    at night than you are.
[06:10] Gu
    Really?
[06:12] Gu
    Yes.
[06:13] Gu
    We can't see with our eyes,
    but there are things only we can see.
[06:19] Gu
    Oh, right, miss. Watch out for
    the sound of clogs in the night.
[06:24] Gu
    Clogs?
[06:26] Gu
    The blind bandits who appear at night...
[06:30] Gu
    Everyone says it's the sound of clogs.
[06:33] Gu
    But it's not.
[06:35] Gu
    I heard it one night.
[06:40] Gu
    It is the sound of tongues.
[06:42] Gu
    They click their tongues
    and use the echoes to see.
[06:46] Gi
    What does it sound like?
[06:48] Gu
    How do they click their tongues?
[06:53] Gu
    What's that sound?
[06:57] Gu
    That sound... They've been
    following us the whole time!
[07:04] Gu
    Who are you guys?
[07:06] Gu
    There's more over here!
[07:13] Gu
    That's Toni Anji!
[07:19] Gu
    It's too dark to see! How do we fight?
[07:23] Gu
    And with our dicks out, too!
[07:25] Gu
    We can see you just fine.
[07:27] Gu
    That was Shiraishi's voice, wasn't it?
[07:30] Gu
    Did you get hired by the miners?
[07:32] Gu
    We're not here to deal with you!
[07:34] Gu
    Just let us copy your tattoo,
    and we'll give you a share.
[07:37] Gu
    You're not shooting because you're
    willing to make a deal, right?
[07:41] Gu
    I just don't want to hit the kid.
[07:43] Gu
    If you don't get him out of the bath,
     I'll start shooting now.
[07:50] Gu
    That's Ryu's voice!
[07:55] Gu
    It's too noisy to make anything out.
[07:58] Gu
    Get him out of here!
[07:59] Gu
    Let's hide in the forest!
[08:08] Gu
    Got him!
[08:14] Gu
    It'll take more wounds than these to kill me!
[08:21] Gu
    A gunshot!
[08:24] Gu
    Toni Anji seems to be
    the only one with a gun.
[08:28] Gu
    To stop them from shooting each other?
[08:30] Gu
    They approached us from
    the direction of the inn
[08:32] Gu
    to keep us from running toward the light.
[08:35] Gu
    They're used to fighting in the darkness.
[08:38] Gu
    Ogata was the only one careful enough
    to hide his gun near the hot springs.
[08:43] Gu
    He's going to complain to us later.
[08:53] Gu
    Sugimoto...
[08:55] Gu
    Put out the light.
[08:59] Gu
    Keep away from the light!
    One of them has a gun!
[09:17] Gu
    I can't see a thing.
[09:19] Gu
    And I've only got four bullets left.
    I can't waste them.
[09:32] Gu
    Asirpa-san, it's me.
[09:38] Gi
    Is this blood? Yours?
[09:40] Gi
    Are you hurt?
[09:42] Gu
    I'm fine.
[09:43] Gu
    If it weren't dark,
    they'd be no match for me, but...
[09:49] Gu
    If we survive until dawn,
[09:51] Gu
    we start our counterattack.
[09:53] Gu
    I smell blood.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[10:24] (Flashback) Gu
    Are you really going?
[10:27] (Flashback) Gu
    I'll miss you.
[10:30] (Flashback) Gu
    Goodbye, Wilk.
[10:32] (Flashback) Gu
    Inkarmat...
[10:34] (Flashback) Gu
    This is from my mother.
[10:36] (Flashback) Gu
    Girls grow up and change so quickly.
[10:39] (Flashback) Gu
    You'll become much more beautiful.
[10:43] (Flashback) Gu
    If you wear this, then when we
    meet again, I'll recognize you.
[10:46] (Flashback) Gi
    Isn't it important to you?
[10:49] (Flashback) Gu
    So are you, my friend.
[10:51] (Flashback) Gi
    Thank you.
[10:53] (Flashback) Gi
    But I'll never see your face again.
[10:59] Gi
    That's what my fortune-telling
    says my fate is.
[11:03] ---
    Inkarmat!
[11:06] Gi
    Tanigaki Nispa!
[11:12] Gi
    Where's Cikapasi?
[11:13] Gi
    I told him to find a place
    to hide and stay put.
[11:27] Gi
    They're coming.
[11:28] Gi
    I have an idea. Follow me.
[11:30] Gi
    Inkarmat, let's go.
[11:35] Gi
    I found this place this afternoon.
[11:37] Gi
    If we cross the lake and
    take the long route back,
[11:39] Gi
    we should be able to get back to
    the inn without them finding us.
[11:45] Gi
    Get on!
[11:47] Gi
    What's wrong, Inkarmat?
[11:48] Gi
    I'm sorry. I can't swim.
[11:52] Gi
    And I have a terrible premonition.
[11:57] Gu
    I've handled boats like this since I
    was a kid. I've gone fishing at night.
[12:01] Gu
    I know how to use them!
[12:05] Gu
    If I wanted you gone, I would've
    left you here to die.
[12:09] Gu
    Now get on!
[12:23] Gu
    More to the left. Throw it again.
[12:31] Gu
    They're trying to judge the distance!
[12:36] Gi
    Tanigaki Nispa!
[13:11] Gi
    I see. You're sending me to
    the next world, aren't you?
[13:20] Gi
    This is my fate.
[13:22] Gi
    To die without ever seeing him again.
[13:28] Gi
    The fortunes spoke true.
[14:18] Gi
    Tanigaki Nispa, you were shot!
[14:22] Gu
    It's fine. It passed through my butt.
[14:27] Gu
    Hey, are you laughing?
[14:29] Gi
    No, I just had the strangest dream.
[14:33] Gi
    I was remembering it and laughing.
[14:41] Gi
    Fate can be changed.
[14:47] Gu
    Sorry to interrupt your fun,
     but we should go.
[14:56] Gu
    No!
[15:02] Gi
    Dawn's coming.
[15:04] Gu
    Hurry, we're getting out of here!
[15:05] Gu
    We'll be totally exposed!
[15:11] Gu
    Ryu?
[15:22] Gu
    The tables have turned.
[15:24] Gi
    Sugimoto!
[15:30] Gu
    Ogata...
[15:31] Gu
    Toni Anji and his men went
    inside. That's their hideout.
[15:36] Gu
    If we go back to get our guns, they'll escape.
[15:39] Gu
    Let's head inside and finish this now.
[15:43] Gu
    Asirpa-san, stay outside.
[15:51] Gu
    It's dark.
[15:53] Gu
    I'm going in and opening the windows.
[15:58] Gu
    What is this?
[16:00] Gu
    They've nailed the windows shut.
[16:04] Gi
    Sugimoto!
[16:12] Gu
    Run!
[16:25] Gi
    Sugimoto!
[16:27] Gu
    Asirpa-san?
[16:28] Gu
    How did you get in?
[16:30] Gi
    Where's Ogata?
[16:31] Gu
    We split up.
[16:32] Gi
    It's not safe to move.
[16:34] Gi
    What do we do?
[16:37] Gi
    Where is it coming from?
[16:40] Gi
    I can't see anything.
[16:43] Gi
    This is their home.
[16:45] Gi
    They can see us perfectly.
[16:54] Gi
    Those are pekanpe.
[17:13] Gi
    You miners and Warden Inudou must suffer!
[17:19] Gi
    We'll take back everything you gained by
    stealing the prisoner's lives and sight!
[17:28] Gi
    Take this, you goddamn bastard!
[17:31] Gi
    Where are you, Sugimoto?
[17:33] Gi
    Are you okay?
[17:33] Gu
    Don't move, Asirpa-san!
[17:36] Gu
    You attacked innocent Ainu villages.
[17:39] Gu
    Justice isn't on your side, you thieves!
[17:43] Gu
    That's right.
[17:45] Gu
    We're starving and blind.
    It's the only way to survive.
[17:49] Gu
    We didn't kill anybody who was innocent.
[17:53] Gu
    Eventually you will.
[17:57] Gu
    You can tell?
[17:59] Gu
    Even I can see it...
[18:02] Gu
    You can't go back to who you were!
[18:17] Gu
    It's been a long time, Toni Anji.
[18:22] Gu
    That voice! What are you doing here?
[18:28] Gu
    Fighting Warden Inudou.
[18:36] Gu
    We meet again, miss.
[18:39] Gi
    Dick-sensei!
[18:42] Gu
    How'd you find us?
[18:44] Gu
    The dog outside helped us.
[18:47] Gu
    We had information that Toni Anji
     was lurking in this area.
[18:52] Gu
    Sugimoto, can you leave
    Toni to us to deal with?
[18:58] Gu
    If you'll let me copy his tattoos.
[19:01] Gu
    But Asirpa-san's relatives live around here.
[19:05] Gu
    I'd feel safer if you killed
    him and skinned him.
[19:10] Gi
    You live in the dark, hiding,
[19:12] Gi
    then coming out at night to harm others.
[19:16] Gi
    If you keep this up, your life will
    never escape from the darkness.
[19:24] Gu
    Damn, but you're right.

SIGN    Nemuro
[19:30] Gu
    Warden Inudou was lending out the
    prisoners to work at Mt. Iwo,
[19:34] Gu
    and using that money to buy weapons.
[19:37] Gu
    He even had a Maxim gun.
[19:39] Gu
    It's likely that he's hiding
    other powerful weapons again.
[19:44] Gu
    And they found you before you could discover
    where those weapons were being held.
[19:51] Gu
    Is that correct, Private Usami?
[19:56] Gu
    Tsukishima, make him sit.
[20:01] Gu
    Do you understand how difficult it was
    to get you hired as a guard there?
[20:08] Gu
    You're so close!
[20:10] Gu
    I'm going to draw a little stick
    figure on this mole and make it run!
[20:18] Gu
    It's running!
[20:19] Gu
    I'll make the other mole run, too!
[20:23] Gu
    My head is going to boil over!
[20:28] Gu
    The two moles are running
    as hard as they can.
[20:32] Gu
    But they'll never get closer.
[20:36] Gu
    The poor things.

    I'll take photos of both of them
    and have someone look into it.
[21:01] Gu
    Why are we taking photos all of a sudden?
[21:03] Gu
    I wanted to send a photo
    of Asirpa-san to Huci.
[21:07] Gu
    We should all take one while we're here.
[21:15] Gu
    Hijikata-san, I wanted to give you what
    I've been keeping safe for so long.
[21:27] Gu
    Sugimoto's his name?
[21:30] (Flashback) Gu
    I felt something like nostalgia
    in the middle of the battle.
[21:34] (Flashback) Gu
    He was just like a young Hijikata-san,
    when I first met him in Abashiri.
[21:42] Gu
    As fierce as a demon, but somehow kind.
[23:20] Gu
    Um, am I really taking my clothes off?
[23:23] Gu
    Everybody else did.

    Looking good! Spread your legs a little more!
