[00:15] A
    Got it!
[00:18] Ki
    The Nivkh put seal fat on everything.
[00:22] Ki
    It's like soy sauce is to the Japanese.
[00:25] Ki
    It's an important food source
    at this time of year.
[00:31] A
    A reindeer.
[00:32] A
    Did it come from the other side?
[00:35] O
    It may have fled from the continent
    'cause something was chasing it, too.

[02:40] S
    Use a bit of dirty snow to hide the holes.
[02:44] S
    Don't put in too much,
[02:45] S
    or we won't be able to get
    the explosives in later.
[02:55] Ki
    Just like we thought.
[02:56] Ki
    The lighthouse was empty.
[02:58] Ki
    We got our explosives.
[03:07] Ki
    The front is heavily guarded, so we'll go
[03:10] Ki
    around to the rear, the one
    facing the Strait of Tartary.
[03:13] Ki
    We'll destroy these four spots at once.
[03:15] Ki
    And that's the signal to Sofia
    and her friends to flee.
[03:20] Ki
    Yup.
[03:20] Ki
    I told her to do it tomorrow at sunrise.
[03:24] Ki
    We're ready.
[03:26] Ki
    It's time, Asirpa.
[03:29] Ki
    When you meet her,
    you'll remember something, I'm sure.
[03:33] Ki
    I can't wait for that to happen.
[04:17] Ki
    What's wrong, Shiraishi?
[04:18] Ki
    Why didn't it blow?
[04:20] S
    I set it up, but it didn't explode!
[04:23] O
    Neither did mine!
[04:26] Ki
    Shit!
[04:27] Ki
    I guess it wasn't stored properly!
[04:31] S
    Something exploded.
[04:34] T
    That's Ako Prison.
SIGN    Don't go outside!
SIGN    Nobody move!
[04:46] Sophia
    Khorosho!
SIGN    Where's the hole?
SIGN    This wasn't the deal!
SIGN    There!
SIGN    This way, everyone!
[05:26] O
    That's strange.
[05:31] O
    Nobody's coming out.
SIGN    What the hell is a tiger doing here?
SIGN    That's not the right yulbars!
[05:46] Narr
    Yulbars means "tiger" in the Tatar language.
[05:51] Narr
    The Siberian Tiger is the
    largest of all tigers,
[05:55] Narr
    attacking and eating even
    bears and crocodiles.
[05:58] Narr
    Sometimes it will cross the strait following
    prey, going far outside of its territory!
SIGN    Do something about this tiger! We can't escape!
SIGN    We'll draw it away! Leave by that hole!
SIGN    Who do you think I am? No good leader leaves before her men.
SIGN    That's our Sofia!
SIGN    Shoot! Now!
SIGN    Don't.
SIGN    The Nanai say that tigers are gods,
    and killing them is bad luck.
[07:09] Ki
    Okay!
SIGN    Another hole in the wall!
SIGN    Hurry, everyone!
[07:25] Sophia
    That outfit...
[07:27] Sophia
    A Karafuto Ainu?
[07:29] A
    Karafuto Ainu? No.
[07:33] Sophia
    Wilk showed me...
[07:36] Sophia
    He wore tetarape when he young.
[07:42] Sophia
    Those eyes.
[07:43] Sophia
    Wilk's eyes.
[07:48] A
    Are you Sofia?
[07:51] Sophia
    Asirpa...
[07:54] S
    This wasn't what I imagined.
[07:57] Ki
    Sofia!
[08:02] Ki
    You've grown into a lovely woman!
[08:07] Sophia
    Yulbars!
SIGN    What you did to Wilk...
SIGN    Let's go!
SIGN    This way!
SIGN    There!
SIGN    Wait, those are Nivkh fishermen!
SIGN    I only see Nivkh. Follow the ones who went to town!
[08:56] S
    It worked!
[08:58] S
    Nobody's following us.
[09:00] S
    We were right to set the
    time of the escape for dawn,
[09:03] S
    when there are lots of fishermen out.
[09:12] A
    I want you to tell me about my father.
[09:15] A
    Tell me things only you know.
SIGN    She wants to know about Wilk.
SIGN    He was pure and beautiful.
[09:35] Sophia
    I grew up in a fancy house,
    wearing expensive clothes.
[09:40] Sophia
    I was a rich girl who only knew the cities.
[09:47] Sophia
    I met them as part of the
    revolutionary movement.
[09:52] Sophia
    They taught me of many things I didn't know.
[09:57] Sophia
    Salt-preserved lingonberries...
[09:59] Sophia
    Karafuto Ainu dog sleds...
[10:02] Sophia
    Hohchiri, tied to the bangs...
[10:05] Sophia
    The bone fortunetelling of the Uilta...
[10:08] Sophia
    The clothes of the Nivkh,
    made from seal and fish skins...
[10:12] Sophia
    The lives of the ethnic minorities
    who lived in the Far East...
[10:20] (Flashback) Wilk
    Our unique languages...
[10:23] (Flashback) Wilk
    The gods we believe in...
[10:34] (Flashback) Wilk
    If we don't fight to protect them,
    they'll all disappear.
[10:39] Ki
    The new generation of children will
    forget their language and their gods.
[10:53] (Flashback) Wilk
    Why did the natives of the
    Americas lose to the white man?
[10:58] (Flashback) Wilk
    Because all the tribes were
    at war with one another.
[11:03] (Flashback) Wilk
    I'm told that in Japan's Hokkaido,
[11:05] (Flashback) Wilk
    there are a people with traditions
    very similar to the Karafuto Ainu.
[11:15] (Flashback) Wilk
    Each of them are small in number,
    but if we all cooperate...
[11:21] (Flashback) Sophia
    Cooperate?
[11:23] (Flashback) Wilk
    We need to make a federation
     of far eastern states,
[11:26] (Flashback) Wilk
    including Karafuto and Hokkaido.
[11:33] S
    That's a big deal.
[11:42] T
    Kiroranke blew the wall and
    let the prisoners escape.
[11:45] O
    We were a little late, but they're close.
[11:50] S
    Well, Ryuu?
[11:54] S
    That way?
[11:55] S
    Did you find the scent?
[11:57] K
    Don't tell me they ran across the ice floes.
[12:05] S
    If Ryuu says it's the way, I believe it.
[12:11] O
    What's wrong, you two?
[12:14] S
    A tiger?!
[12:27] O
    One of those gunshots was long,
[12:29] O
    like you'd hear from a gun
    that used old black gunpowder.
[12:35] O
    No, it can't be.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[12:56] Ki
    Shiraishi, where are you going?
[12:58] S
    Go on without me.
[13:01] S
    I need to piss.
[13:03] S
    It's hard to get my willie
    out with all these layers.
[13:10] S
    That was close.
[13:14] S
    It's getting bigger!
[13:16] Ki
    The ice floes move around with the current!
[13:19] Ki
    Don't fall in the ocean!
[13:21] S
    What do I do?
[13:22] S
    I can't get back!
[13:24] Ki
    Just head west! We'll meet there!
[13:29] S
    I don't think I can get there this way.
[13:33] S
    I'll have better luck heading back!
[13:35] S
    I'll hurry and catch up, so wait for me!
[13:38] A
    Be careful, Shiraishi!
[13:40] A
    If you fall in while
    you're alone, you're dead!
[13:42] A
    Got it? Don't fall! Don't fall!
[13:52] O
    It's not easy to get over this
    rough terrain with a sled!
[13:56] O
    And the weather's getting bad, too.
[13:58] O
    It may be dangerous to follow them.
[14:00] S
    You saw that explosion!
[14:02] S
    They're close!
[14:08] S
    Ryuu's going crazy, too!
[14:12] S
    We can find them if we go now!
[14:13] T
    Wait, Sugimoto!
[14:18] Ki
    Look, Asirpa.
[14:24] A
    Wolves.
[14:26] O
    Will they come this way?
[14:28] Ki
    I doubt it.
[14:29] Ki
    Were they the ones after that reindeer?
SIGN    Wilk liked wolves.
SIGN    He said they were pure and beautiful.
[14:45] (Flashback) Wilk
    Wolves are beautiful.
[14:48] (Flashback) Wilk
    They lead strong lives, with nothing wasted.
[14:51] (Flashback) Wilk
    That's what makes them beautiful.
[14:54] (Flashback) Wilk
    Beauty and strength are the same.
SIGN    Here's a story about Wilk for you...
[15:05] Sophia
    One night, we were being chased by the
    secret police, and fled into the forest.
[15:12] Sophia
    One of us was badly wounded
    and couldn't move at all.
[15:18] Sophia
    He passed out,
[15:21] Sophia
    and stopped us from moving.
[15:27] Sophia
    When our pursuers were getting close and
    his moans threatened to alert them...
[15:40] Sophia
    He wasn't going to survive either way,
[15:45] Sophia
    and we ended up barely being missed.
[15:50] Sophia
    If it had been me,
[15:52] Sophia
    I would've hesitated and fretted before
    finally reaching the same conclusion, maybe.
[15:59] Sophia
    But Wilk was someone who could reach that
    answer in the minimum distance needed.
[16:09] Ki
    I trusted him from the bottom of my heart.
[16:13] Ki
    And loved him.
[16:20] (Flashback) A
    We're shooting the baby bear, too?
[16:22] (Flashback) A
    We can't take it to the kotan?
[16:26] (Flashback) Wilk
    It's too big to raise.
[16:30] (Flashback) Wilk
    Do you think it's cruel, Asirpa?
[16:35] (Flashback) Wilk
    That parent and child will
    become blood and meat,
[16:37] (Flashback) Wilk
    and sustain our lives.
[16:40] (Flashback) Wilk
    Even a baby bear is a
    precious source of food.
[16:43] (Flashback) Wilk
    If we hesitate because it's cruel, we starve.
[16:48] (Flashback) Wilk
    Pity and kindness that is
    wrong can become weakness.
[16:54] Wilk
    The weak lose, and are eaten.
SIGN    Do you know where Wilk's name came from?
[17:07] Ki
    Where his name came from?
[17:09] Ki
    No, I don't.
[17:13] Ki
    Do you know, Asirpa?
[17:17] A
    I think he told me one time.
[17:21] A
    What was it?
[17:26] Sophia
    There was one big thing that
    happened that made him who he was.
[17:32] Sophia
    Before his name was Wilk,
[17:36] Sophia
    he found a weakened wolf near the kotan.
[17:42] Sophia
    He came to see it every day.
[17:50] Sophia
    And eventually, it began to howl.
[17:58] Sophia
    And howls answered it.
[18:02] Sophia
    Wilk understood that he wanted
    to go back to his pack,
[18:05] Sophia
    and had become a lone wolf because
    he had an illness or some other defect.
[18:13] Sophia
    The pack came for him.
[18:18] Sophia
    But the pack killed him.
[18:24] Sophia
    They decided there was no
    room for him in the pack.
[18:29] Sophia
    If a single wolf slows them down,
    it's a threat to the whole pack.
[18:37] Sophia
    Wolves are logical and rational.
[18:39] Sophia
    Any extra kindness in them has been
    scraped away to ensure they survive.
[18:46] Sophia
    A functional beauty, with nothing wasted.
[18:49] Sophia
    That's what he felt in
    the way the wolves lived.
[18:57] Sophia
    He wanted to be a creature like that.
[18:59] Sophia
    So he stripped the corpse of its
    pelt and ran around wearing it.
[19:05] Sophia
    His Polish father looked at him,
[19:10] Sophia
    and decided his name then.
[19:14] Sophia
    "Wilk."
[19:17] Ki
    Wilk means "wolf" in Polish.
[19:33] (Flashback) A
    Tell me about Mommy.
[19:35] (Flashback) Wilk
    Again?
[19:37] (Flashback) Wilk
    She was a beautiful woman, just like you.
[19:42] (Flashback) Wilk
    We met in Otaru.
[19:44] (Flashback) Wilk
    She taught me all the things I didn't know.
[19:49] (Flashback) Wilk
    The language of the Hokkaido Ainu,
     and their beliefs.
[19:56] (Flashback) Wilk
    Never forget what I'm about to tell you.
[20:01] (Flashback) Wilk
    I once told your mom how
    I got the name Wilk...
[20:09] (Flashback) Wilk
    And then she gave me a name in Ainu.
[20:16] (Flashback) Wilk
    Horkew Oskoni.
[20:20] (Flashback) A
    Horkew Oskoni?
[20:24] (Flashback) Wilk
    It means "catching up to the wolf."
[20:29] (Flashback) Wilk
    Because I wanted to be a wolf.
[20:32] (Flashback) Wilk
    The only ones who know this name are myself,
    and your mother, who gave it to me.
[20:39] (Flashback) Wilk
    You mustn't tell it to anyone.
[20:50] (Flashback) S
    Hey, Sugimoto.
[20:52] (Flashback) S
    How do you read this?
[20:53] (Flashback) S
    "U."
[20:54] (Flashback) S
    Like in "ukai," to go around.
[21:20] S
    Shit! Shit!
[21:29] S
    Dick talisman... protect me!
[21:36] S
    Behold the power of dick.
[21:41] S
    No way!
[21:57] S
    Hey, Shiraishi Yoshitake.
[22:01] S
    We meet again.
