[00:12] Ushiyama
    Dauuhh...
[00:18] Ushiyama
    Udaah...
[00:22] Boy B
    Here, I'll feed you!
[00:24] Boy B
    Open your mouth! Come on!
[00:26] Boy B
    Eat the moss ball!
[00:28] Boy C
    His dad owns some mining company, I heard.
[00:32] Boy C
    Maybe you're too good to eat moss balls, huh?
[00:35] Chiyotarou
    Huh? You guys eat moss balls?
[00:38] Chiyotarou
    When you're poor, you have
    to eat moss balls, huh?
[00:43] Chiyotarou
    Somebody!
[00:45] Chiyotarou
    Somebody help me!
[00:49] Chiyotarou
    I'm going to freeze to
    death when the sun sets.
[00:52] Ushiyama
    Awuoh...
[00:56] Ushiyama
    Pus...
[00:57] Chiyotarou
    Um, will you help me?
[01:02] Ushiyama
    Ussy...
[01:05] Chiyotarou
    Wait! You're hungry, right? I've got food!
[01:10] Chiyotarou
    Dried peaches!
[01:12] Chiyotarou
    I'll give them to you, so let me down!
[01:14] Ushiyama
    Pweach?
[01:16] Chiyotarou
    My grandfather in Yamanashi sends them to me.
[01:21] Ushiyama
    Nom, nom, nom...
[01:23] Chiyotarou
    It's good, isn't it?
[01:26] Chiyotarou
    Will you let me down, then?
[01:28] Ushiyama
    Pus...
[01:30] Chiyotarou
    Yeah!
[01:31] Chiyotarou
    Wait, no! Not like that...
[01:40] Chiyotarou
    Not like that, but holy crap!
[01:43] Chiyotarou
    Thank you for saving me!
[01:45] Ushiyama
    Undah...
[01:46] Chiyotarou
    My name's Chiyotarou!
[01:49] Chiyotarou
    What's your name?
[01:50] Ushiyama
    Pussy.
[01:52] Chiyotarou
    Pussy! That's your name, huh?
[01:56] Chiyotarou
    I'll give you some more dried peaches,
    so from now on, you work for me, Pussy.
[02:01] Ushiyama
    Pussy!
[02:03] Chiyotarou
    Yes! I've got my own personal servant,
     the Pussy Monster!

[03:42] Sekiya
    As one of the Shinsengumi, he survived
    countless deadly battles in Kyoto,
[03:47] Sekiya
    and then the Battle of Hakodate, too.
[03:48] Sekiya
    Then he escaped from Abashiri
    Prison at the ends of the Earth.
[03:52] Sekiya
    Hijikata Toshizou...
[03:54] Sekiya
    A man like that, fated to die like this?
[04:07] Sekiya
    Ushiyama's gone?
[04:09] Sekiya
    Impossible! He broke out of
    his coffin and crawled out?
[04:13] Sekiya
    Damn it! I underestimated him!
[04:16] Sekiya
    But the last poison I gave him was datura,
[04:21] Sekiya
    and it'll take another 12 hours to wear off.
[04:23] Sekiya
    He probably doesn't remember
    this place, either.
[04:26] Chiyotarou
    Pussy? You in there, Pussy?
[04:29] Chiyotarou
    I brought you food.
[04:31] Ushiyama
    Meow...
[04:33] Chiyotarou
    Are you cold?
[04:34] Chiyotarou
    Sorry, I can't take you home with me.
[04:39] Chiyotarou
    Let's skate together today!
[04:42] Chiyotarou
    Don't worry, I'll show you how.
SIGN    Inn
[04:46] Innkeeper
    Wake up, sir!
[04:50] Kadokura
    What is it?
[04:51] Innkeeper
    Someone came and said to give
    this to a "Chief Warden Kadokura."
[04:55] Kadokura
    And how does he know my name?
[04:59] Innkeeper
    Don't ask me.
[05:00] Innkeeper
    I'll leave it here.
[05:12] Kadokura
    This is...
[05:14] Kadokura
    Nagakura-san!
[05:15] Kirawus
    Nagakura's not here.
[05:17] Kadokura
    Where'd he go?
[05:18] Kirawus
    He said a tanuki would be of no use
    to him, and left on his own to search.
[05:23] Kadokura
    It's Sekiya. Sekiya kidnapped Hijikata-san.
[05:28] Kadokura
    He sent us a threat letter!
[05:33] Sekiya
    The fugu poison has put Hijikata Toshizou
    in something close to a coma.
[05:37] Sekiya
    His breathing is shallow, but he only has
    a few more hours of air in that coffin.
[05:41] Sekiya
    I'll trade the tattooed skins
    they have for his location.
[05:46] Kirawus
    There's no proof that
    Hijikata Nispa is alive.
[05:50] Kadokura
    Sekiya's pulled the same
    stunt a bunch of times.
[05:54] Kadokura
    He's acting alone, so he
    can't watch his hostages.
[05:57] Kadokura
    He buries them while he goes
    to get the ransom money.
[06:01] Kadokura
    He's careful. He always
    leaves the hostages alive.
[06:05] Kadokura
    He accepts that his hostages
    may be fated to survive.
SIGN    Inn
[06:09] Kadokura
    Nagakura-san's got the skins.
[06:12] Kadokura
    We need to find him.
[06:14] Kadokura
    Damn it! There's no time before the handover!
[06:18] Kadokura
    And if we fail, Hijikata-san will die!
[06:26] Ushiyama
    Moo!
[06:28] Chiyotarou
    You're great! Wow, you're a genius!
[06:32] Narr
    Ushiyama is wearing geta skates,
    also known as "gerori."
[06:36] Narr
    They were enormously popular in Hokkaido
    in the latter half of the Edo period!
[06:41] Ushiyama
    Moo!
[06:43] Boy C
    Hey, rich kid.
[06:46] Boy C
    We warned you not to play here.
[06:49] Boy B
    Or are you hungry for more moss balls?
[06:54] Ushiyama
    Udah...
[06:57] Boy C
    Wh-Who are you?
[06:59] Chiyotarou
    This is Pussy.
[07:01] Ushiyama
    Nom, nom...
[07:03] Chiyotarou
    Crouch down for a second.
[07:07] Chiyotarou
    He works for me!
[07:11] Chiyotarou
    What's wrong?
[07:13] Chiyotarou
    Weren't you going to feed me a moss ball?
[07:15] Boy B
    Take this!
[07:17] Chiyotarou
    Low-life scum. Let's go, Pussy.
[07:22] Chiyotarou
    It's not worth hanging out with poors.
[07:29] Boy A
    I'm sorry!
[07:30] Chiyotarou
    Pussy, no!
[07:35] Chiyotarou
    Stop it! Stop it, already!
[07:38] Chiyotarou
    Here, a peach!
[07:39] Chiyotarou
    It's your favorite, Pussy!
[07:42] Ushiyama
    Peach...
[07:46] Chiyotarou
    Oh, no!
[07:48] Chiyotarou
    I didn't realize the Pussy
    Monster was this dangerous!
[07:52] Chiyotarou
    He's... a deadly weapon!
[07:56] Chiyotarou
    I must get rid of him.
[07:59] Kadokura
    Kirawus, wait up!
[08:02] Kadokura
    Let's take a break.
[08:04] Kadokura
    I can't run anymore. I can't breathe...
[08:07] Kadokura
    I'll die before he does.
[08:10] Kirawus
    Old man...
[08:12] Kirawus
    We need to find Nagakura Nispa!
[08:15] Kadokura
    There's no time.
[08:16] Kadokura
    Sekiya doesn't know how many
    tattooed skins we have, right?
[08:23] Kadokura
    We'll have to bluff him into telling
    us where Hijikata is somehow.
[08:28] Kirawus
    "Somehow"? How?
[08:30] Kirawus
    You'll fail if you don't
    have a real plan, Kadokura!
[08:33] Kadokura
    You got any brilliant ideas,
    then? Let's hear them!
[08:37] Kadokura
    You don't, do you? You broke-ass!
[08:40] Kirawus
    You're unemployed and broke, too,
     Mr. Asshole Examiner.
[08:46] Chiyotarou
    I must protect my town!
[08:49] Ushiyama
    Boytarou!
[08:51] Ushiyama
    Moo!
[08:52] Chiyotarou
    I have to do it!
[08:54] Narr
    Lake Akan has natural hot
    springs on its bottom,
[08:58] Narr
    and even when the lake
    surface freezes in winter,
[08:59] Narr
    there are places call "steam
    pots" where holes form.
[09:04] Chiyotarou
    Come here, Pussy.
[09:14] Sekiya
    Chief Warden Kadokura, stop where you are.
[09:16] Sekiya
    Take off your clothes, and throw them at me.
[09:19] Sekiya
    I want to be sure you came unarmed.
[09:21] Kadokura
    I stuffed a hunting rifle up my ass.
[09:24] Kadokura
    Want to take a look and see, Sekiya?
[09:27] Kadokura
    He's careful, and smart.
[09:31] Kadokura
    Sekiya chose the middle of the
    lake as the place for the handover
[09:36] Kadokura
    because there's a minimum of one
    kilometer to the banks on all sides.
[09:41] Kadokura
    Nobody can pull off a
    sniper shot at that range.
[09:49] Sekiya
    So, where are the skins?
[09:51] Kadokura
    I brought 'em.
[09:53] Kadokura
    Check my coat.
[09:55] Sekiya
    One wrong move and the deal's off.
[10:01] Kadokura
    Well, that's a problem.
[10:04] Sekiya
    You just looked behind you.
[10:06] Kadokura
    Wh-What do you mean?
[10:09] Sekiya
    Is the Ainu who was with
    you on the opposite bank?
[10:14] Sekiya
    Did you borrow the blade you've got
    wedged between your ass cheeks from him?
[10:20] (Flashback) Kirawus
    This is important to me. My father
    made it. Be careful with it.
[10:25] (Flashback) Kirawus
    Where will you hide it?
[10:26] (Flashback) Kadokura
    Yeah, got it.
[10:28] (Flashback) Kirawus
    Where will you hide it?
[10:32] Sekiya
    So the plan was to extract the location
    of Hijikata Toshizou from me by force?
[10:38] Sekiya
    You're as crude and sloppy as ever.
[10:43] Sekiya
    Kadokura-san, what do you think? Is God real?
[10:50] Chiyotarou
    Come on! If you don't come get it,
     I'll throw this peach away!
[10:54] Chiyotarou
    Are you okay with that?
[10:55] Ushiyama
    Udah...
[10:56] Chiyotarou
    Hurry! Or I'll throw it away!
[11:06] Chiyotarou
    Go get it!
[11:08] Ushiyama
    Moo!
[11:10] Chiyotarou
    I'm sorry!
[11:17] Chiyotarou
    I'm sorry, Pussy!
[11:19] Chiyotarou
    Forgive me!
[11:28] Kadokura
    Gerori!
[11:33] Kadokura
    Damn it! He got me!
[11:35] Kadokura
    Wait, Sekiya!
[11:37] Kadokura
    Gotcha, fuckface.
[11:39] (Flashback) Kirawus
    You're unemployed and broke, too,
     Mr. Asshole Examiner.
[11:44] (Flashback) Kadokura
    Shut up and think!
[11:46] (Flashback) Kadokura
    Well? You don't have any good ideas, do you?
[11:49] (Flashback) Kirawus
    We deliberately screw up the deal so
    he runs, and then I'll follow him in secret.
[11:56] (Flashback) Kirawus
    He'll return to Hijikata Nispa and
    Ushiyama Nispa to take their skins.
[12:00] (Flashback) Kadokura
    Yeah, we'll go with that.
[12:03] Kadokura
    There ain't nobody in the
    direction I was just looking!
[12:07] Kadokura
    Sekiya will probably run for
    the farthest edge of the lake,
[12:09] Kadokura
    while keeping his distance from the coasts.
[12:12] Kadokura
    I'll pretend to chase after him
    while guiding him toward you.
[12:17] Kirawus
    He's here! Just like we planned!
[12:20] Kadokura
    Wait!
[12:25] Sekiya
    Ushiyama?
[12:27] Narr
    In that moment, the effects of the
    datura Ushiyama ingested wore off!
[12:33] Ushiyama
    Sekiya, you bastard!
[12:35] Kadokura
    Ushiyama-san, why are you showing
    up there of all places?
[12:41] Kirawus
    Crap! Don't let him get away!
     Catch him, Kadokura!
[12:48] Kadokura
    Ow! Ow! My skin's coming off!
[12:55] Kadokura
    What a mistake.
[12:57] Kadokura
    Talk about bad luck...
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[13:06] Kadokura
    Ushiyama-san, Sekiya kidnapped you, too?
[13:10] Kadokura
    Where were you?
[13:11] Kadokura
    Hijikata-san may be there, too.
[13:15] Ushiyama
    I don't know.
[13:16] Ushiyama
    I woke up and my head was
    poking out of the ice.
[13:20] Ushiyama
    Maybe that whore was bought off by Sekiya.
[13:24] Ushiyama
    I remember she gave me something
    she said would make me rock hard...
[13:29] Sekiya
    Dick-for-brains!
[13:30] Ushiyama
    Betrayed by another whore...
[13:38] Kadokura
    This is the white shell that
    we saw where Hijikata-san was seen.
[13:42] Kadokura
    And one fell out of your jacket after
     you went missing, too, which means...
[13:49] Kadokura
    The mystery has deepened!
[13:51] Kirawus
    That's a silkworm cocoon.
[13:53] Ushiyama
    Cold...
[13:55] Kirawus
    Perhaps it got stuck in his
    clothing in the place he was held.
[14:00] Kirawus
    You don't raise silkworms in winter,
[14:02] Kirawus
    so some of the buildings are uninhabited.
[14:04] Kadokura
    That's it!
[14:06] Kadokura
    The points have connected and formed a line!
[14:09] Kadokura
    A line like a silkworm's thread!
[14:11] Kirawus
    Nearby silkworm farms are that way.
[14:14] Kirawus
    And that way, at the opposite end of the lake.
[14:16] Kadokura
    Okay, we're running out of time.
[14:18] Kadokura
    Let's split up and catch Sekiya!
[14:32] Kadokura
    Sekiya!
[14:34] Kadokura
    Hijikata-san's inside, right?
[14:36] Kadokura
    Take me to him now.
[14:38] Sekiya
    I'm amazed you found this place,
     Chief Warden Kadokura.
[14:42] Kadokura
    Don't underestimate Detective Kadokura!
[14:46] Sekiya
    This way.
[14:56] Sekiya
    I was just trying this.
[14:59] Sekiya
    A cocoon sex identifier.
[15:02] Sekiya
    It uses the fact that the males
    and females inside the cocoons
[15:05] Sekiya
    have different weights to distinguish them.
[15:10] Sekiya
    This farm has a different room
    for every step of the process.
[15:13] Sekiya
    There are over ten rooms between
    this building and the next.
[15:17] Sekiya
    Hijikata Toshizou is buried in one of them.
[15:21] Sekiya
    Chief Warden Kadokura,
    I'm giving you a trial to pass.
[15:25] Sekiya
    Half the cocoons contain
    fatal amounts of wolfsbane,
[15:29] Sekiya
    fugu poison, strychnine and arsenic.
[15:33] Sekiya
    The ones on their opposite side do not.
[15:36] Sekiya
    You'll choose one,
    and I'll take its opposite.
[15:42] Sekiya
    If I take the poison, I'll tell you
    where Hijikata-san is before I die.
[15:47] Sekiya
    And if you take the poison,
    I promise to save Hijikata-san's life.
[15:54] Kadokura
    Where is Hijikata-san?
[15:57] Sekiya
    Speaking from my experience, there's very
     little air left in the coffin.
[16:01] Sekiya
    He's got 30 minutes left at most.
[16:05] Sekiya
    I'm interested in the fates of people
    who have some kind of strong will.
[16:11] Sekiya
    Kadokura-san, if you're following the
    right path, fate will side with you, not me.
[16:18] Kadokura
    You don't care about the tattoos,
    or even the gold, do you?
[16:24] Kadokura
    You're after us, the people coming after them.
[16:28] Kadokura
    What motivates Sekiya's actions are these
    tests of luck that he calls "trials."
[16:35] Kadokura
    I was born under a star
[16:36] Kadokura
    that guarantees I'll always make the
    wrong choice at times like these.
[16:40] Kadokura
    Even if only one of the cocoons had poison,
[16:43] Kadokura
    I'm confident it would be the one I'd pick.
[16:48] Kadokura
    But...
[16:49] Kadokura
    Even so... if I can save Hijikata-san's
    life in exchange for my end...
[17:01] Sekiya
    Will you let me talk about myself
    a little until we know who won?
[17:07] Sekiya
    It happened one Sunday morning...
[17:12] Sekiya
    I was returning home with my young daughter.
[17:16] Sekiya
    She was toddling along right in front of me.
[17:22] Sekiya
    Something exploded next to us. I passed out.
[17:36] Sekiya
    My daughter lost her legs and part of her head.
[17:40] Sekiya
    It took a while to figure out
    that we'd been hit by lightning.
[17:48] Sekiya
    Why was my daughter chosen?
[17:51] Sekiya
    Why not me?
[17:55] Sekiya
    Is "luck" the will of God?
[17:58] Sekiya
    If someone like me survived,
    doesn't that mean that there is no God?
[18:05] Sekiya
    If it started kicking it at ten minutes,
    that means it's the wolfsbane.
[18:10] Kadokura
    Keep your promise.
[18:12] Kadokura
    Save Hijikata-san...
[18:16] Sekiya
    I'll dig him out now.
[18:21] Kadokura
    How long will it take me to die?
[18:27] Sekiya
    You'll suffer for several hours.
[18:31] Kadokura
    Well, that sucks...
[18:48] Kadokura
    Hijikata-san, I'm sorry.
[18:50] Kadokura
    I can't go with you any farther.
[18:56] Kadokura
    Hijikata Toshizou is still useful.
[18:59] Kadokura
    I'll move him while the fugu
    poison is still in his system.
[19:02] Kadokura
    Next I'll set up a trial for the Ainu,
    or perhaps Ushiyama again...
[19:16] Hijikata
    I guess my time as a medicine-seller
    when I was young paid off.
[19:22] Hijikata
    Luck alone isn't enough
    to survive in these times.
[19:26] Kadokura
    Huh?
[19:30] Kadokura
    I feel better.
[19:33] Narrator
    By sheer coincidence, the other two poisons
    that Kadokura took to end his suffering
[19:38] Narrator
    were both fugu!
[19:41] Narrator
    Wolfsbane and fugu tetrodotoxin both have
    the effect of neutralizing one another!
[19:50] Narrator
    Kadokura had, with incredible luck,
    taken just the right amount of fugu poison
[19:54] Narrator
    to cancel out the wolfsbane, and they
    both disappeared from his system.
[19:58] Narrator
    As for Hijikata Toshizou, as the
    fugu poison made him pass out,
[20:03] Narrator
    he secretly, and deliberately, took just
    enough wolfsbane to make the dose non-fatal!
[20:11] Sekiya
    So he knew he took fugu poison and
    immediately took wolfsbane, too?
[20:16] Sekiya
    He was able to find the wolfsbane
    from among the cocoons?
[20:20] Sekiya
    There was arsenic and strychnine, too!
[20:26] Hijikata
    If not taking it meant certain death,
     I had to take my chance.
[20:32] Hijikata
    Let's say that guts and experience
    brought fate to my side.
[20:38] Sekiya
    Impossible.
[20:39] Sekiya
    That's... a miracle!
[20:42] Sekiya
    Yes... a miracle!
[20:45] Sekiya
    Which means God is real after all!
[20:48] Sekiya
    Don't you think so, Hijikata-san?
[20:53] Sekiya
    God has finally judged me, at least!
[21:01] Kadokura
    He killed and killed
[21:03] Kadokura
    to resolve the conflict between his faith
    and his daughter's sudden, unlucky death,
[21:08] Kadokura
    until he made himself into a monster.
[21:12] Kadokura
    Because in his mind, his daughter's death
    had to be God's way of punishing him.
[21:18] Hijikata
    I don't know anything about God.
[21:20] Hijikata
    I'm only interested in the world of man.
[21:25] Hijikata
    When you're born into this world,
    how do you spend your life?
[21:29] Hijikata
