    He'll come for us in Oodomari in two weeks,

SIGN    OODOMARI
[00:14] Tsukishima
    So we will remain here in Toyohara.
[00:18] Koito
    The reason for this is that Toyohara
    is a bigger town with better inns.
[00:23] Koito
    Dismissed! Go do whatever you want.
[00:30] Tsukishima
    Sugimoto...
[00:32] Tsukishima
    When Kiroranke died,
    Asirpa whispered something.
[00:37] Tsukishima
    I saw him look relieved, and then say
    something about leaving things up to her.
[00:43] Tsukishima
    Doesn't that mean that Asirpa's
    found the key to the gold?
[00:49] Tsukishima
    And the reason Ogata tried to
    kill her is that he heard it,
[00:51] Tsukishima
    and thus no longer needs her?
[00:54] Sugimoto
    There's no way she'll tell you.
[00:57] Sugimoto
    I'll talk to her.
[00:59] Sugimoto
    Don't get in my way.
[01:02] Sugimoto
    Asirpa-san hasn't met Lieutenant Tsurumi yet.
[01:07] Sugimoto
    But I can't ever see her
    opening up to a man like that.

    We're from the south, beyond the sea.
[03:09] Cikapasi
    He's my uncle.
[03:11] Cikapasi
    He's got giant testicles!
[03:20] Cikapasi
    They said they were curious about us
    because we're close to their kotan.

    We were lucky we brought you.
     Nobody is wary of us.
[03:29] Tanigaki
    You say the same thing to everybody, though,
[03:32] Tanigaki
    so now everybody in Karafuto
    knows I have giant testicles.
[03:37] Tanigaki
    I'm really glad I didn't send you back.

    Pretending to be family
    worked in Hokkaido, too.
[03:45] Cikapasi
    I wonder if Inkarmat is doing better.

    The telegram says she's
    up and walking around.
[03:52] Cikapasi
    Really? That's great.
[03:55] Tanigaki
    Yeah.
[03:56] Tanigaki
    Let's go see her as soon as we're back.
[03:59] Enonoka
    Cikapasi?
[04:03] Enonoka
    Are you leaving?
[04:13] Asirpa
    Look at this, Sugimoto!
[04:16] Sugimoto
    Is it poop?
[04:17] Asirpa
    This footprint was made by one of those
    wolverines you were talking about, right?
[04:21] Sugimoto
    Yeah, they're faster and
    more dangerous than bears.
[04:26] Asirpa
    I didn't get to see one...
[04:29] Asirpa
    Okay, let's catch it.
[04:31] Asirpa
    You want to know what its brains
    taste like before you leave, right?
[04:36] Sugimoto
    All brains taste the same!
[04:39] Asirpa
    Before we head into the mountains,
    let's start a fire and pray.
[04:49] Sugimoto
    You're a new kind of Ainu woman,
[04:51] Sugimoto
    but you really care about those rituals, huh?
[04:57] Asirpa
    The mountains are filled with dangers.
[05:00] Asirpa
    I think these rituals have the
    effect of focusing the mind.
[05:04] Asirpa
    We have matches now, so we only ever
    use these tools in situations like this.
[05:11] Asirpa
    How can we leave them for future generations?
[05:27] Tsukishima
    Get your ass back to Russia.
[05:30] Inaba
    Ainu child! That was fascinating.
[05:35] Inaba
    Will you do it from the start again?
[05:38] Sugimoto
    Who the hell are you people?
[05:40] Inaba
    Filmmakers! We make moving pictures.
[05:44] Asirpa
    What's a "moving picture"?
[05:48] Sugimoto/Asirpa
    A wolverine!
[05:51] Inaba
    What is this thing?
[05:53] Asirpa
    Pull it off!
[05:54] Asirpa
    I'll hit it with a poison arrow!
[05:57] Sugimoto
    I'll throw it!
[06:01] Sugimoto
    Asirpa-san, behind you!
[06:16] Inaba
    Wonderful!
[06:17] Inaba
    Did you get that?
[06:19] Sugimoto
    Stay away from it!
[06:20] Sugimoto
    Its fur's still on end!
[06:32] Asirpa
    Lucky you, Sugimoto! You got your wolverine!
[06:35] Asirpa
    Hinna, hinna, isn't it?
[06:38] Sugimoto
    It really does taste the same
    as the last brain I ate.
[06:41] Sugimoto
    So, the hell are you people doing up here?
[06:44] Inaba
    Filming the Karafuto Ainu.
[06:48] Inaba
    But we got separated from
    their men at some point.
[06:52] Asirpa
    So that's not a camera?
[06:54] Inaba
    It's called a cinematograph.
[06:58] Inaba
    It takes dozens of pictures in a row,
[07:02] Inaba
    so you can record things like the
    passage of time or how people move.
[07:07] Inaba
    We've used this cinematograph to record
    lots of different aspects of Ainu culture.
SIGN    Inn
[07:14] Inaba
    A company called Lumière
    in France invented it,
[07:17] Inaba
    and sent filmmakers all around the world.
[07:21] Inaba
    They've taken lots of films of Japan!
[07:25] Inaba
    This is Girel-kun, my operator.
[07:29] Inaba
    And I'm Inaba Katsutaro.
[07:31] Inaba
    I own a company that bought the rights
    to screen films in Japan from Lumière.
[07:38] Asirpa
    How do you watch a film?
[07:45] Cikapasi
    Wow, it's moving!
[07:48] Enonoka
    The pictures are dancing!
[07:52] Inaba
    I came to Karafuto because
    I heard Ainu were here.
[07:56] Inaba
    Lumière loved my Hokkaido Ainu films.
[08:01] Inaba
    Right?
[08:03] Asirpa
    Did you film any other Ainu dances?
[08:06] Asirpa
    Or anyone telling old stories?
[08:08] Asirpa
    Any yukar? Or maybe uepeker?
[08:10] Inaba
    No stories, no...
[08:13] Inaba
    This device can't record sound.
[08:17] Asirpa
    So we can't leave our voices
    along with the pictures?
[08:22] Asirpa
    Let's act out old Ainu stories for a film!
[08:26] Sugimoto
    You mean put on a play and film it?
[08:31] Inaba
    I've filmed kabuki before,
    but Ainu stories are all oral.
[08:37] Inaba
    A gramophone should be enough, right?
[08:40] Inaba
    Your culture doesn't even
    have the concept of a play.
[08:43] Asirpa
    But we could get it across
    better with movement!
[08:46] Asirpa
    And with film, we could share our stories
    with people who don't speak our language!
[08:54] Inaba
    I run a business, you know.
[08:56] Inaba
    I've got better things to do with my time
[08:58] Inaba
    than filming something that
    might not even be interesting.
[09:01] Asirpa
    I'll make sure it's good—
[09:04] Sugimoto
    Do what the girl says, damn it.
[09:06] Sugimoto
    If Asirpa-san hadn't saved your sorry ass,
    you'd be wolverine food right now.
[09:11] Sugimoto
    Or are you just a bunch of ingrates?
[09:14] Asirpa
    Our first story will be
    The Tale of Panampe and Penampe.
[09:19] Asirpa
    Panampe means "one who lives downstream."
[09:21] Asirpa
    Penampe means "one who lives upstream."
[09:23] Asirpa
    There are lots of old stories about them.
[09:26] Asirpa
    Panampe always does something
    that makes him wealthy.
[09:29] Asirpa
    Penampe gets jealous and tries to copy him,
     but fails because he's a dickhead.
[09:35] Sugimoto
    So it's like "The Old Man and the Devils"?
[09:38] Asirpa
    Panampe will be played by Sugimoto Saichi!.
[09:40] Asirpa
    Penampe will be Shiraishi Yoshitake!

[09:53] Asirpa
    One day, Panampe made a hole in the ice
    of the river, and stuck his dick in it.
[09:58] Sugimoto
    This story's off to one
    hell of a weird start!
[10:01] Asirpa
    The fish gathered around his dick.
[10:05] Asirpa
    He took them all home,
    and his wife was very happy!
[10:09] Asirpa
    Hey, cut!
[10:12] Asirpa
    You just got a ton of food in
    the middle of a freezing winter!
[10:16] Asirpa
    Is that what the look on your face would be?
[10:20] Asirpa
    We can't add voices,
[10:21] Asirpa
    so you need to put more feeling into it,
     or nobody will understand the story!
[10:24] Asirpa
    There are plenty of other people who
    can do your jobs, you know!
[10:27] Sugimoto
    Right. I'm sorry...
[10:30] Asirpa
    Life was good for a while, and Penampe
    came to ask why he was so wealthy.
[10:37] Asirpa
    Penampe did as he was told and
    stuck his dick in the river,
[10:42] Asirpa
    but he got greedy and let it
    sit in the water all night.
[10:45] Asirpa
    His dick froze, and he couldn't get it out.
[10:48] Asirpa
    So his wife tried to break
    the ice with an axe, when...
[10:54] Asirpa
    She cut his dick clean off!
[10:57] Asirpa
    Penampe died like the absolute moron he was.
[11:00] Sugimoto
    What the hell kind of story is this?!
[11:03] Asirpa
    That house is in the way!
    Go ask if we can tear it down!
[11:07] Inaba
    Don't be ridiculous!
[11:08] Tsukishima
    Are you sure this is what you
    want to be doing, Sugimoto?
[11:12] Tsukishima
    We don't have a lot of time.
[11:13] Sugimoto
    I told you not to interfere.
[11:17] Koito
    Tsukishima, what did you
    discuss with Sugimoto?
[11:22] Koito
    You're trying to get the role of a woman
[11:23] Koito
    so you can have more screen time, aren't you?
[11:24] Asirpa
    The Tale of Panampe and Penampe Part 2!
[11:27] Asirpa
    Ready, and...
[11:29] Asirpa
    Action!
[11:31] Asirpa
    One day, Panampe was at the shoreline,
    stretching out his dick.
[11:34] Sugimoto
    This story makes no sense!
[11:36] Asirpa
    His dick reached all the way to Matsumae.
[11:39] Shiraishi
    You're in the frame, Russian!
[11:42] Asirpa
    The women of Matsumae Province
[11:44] Asirpa
    decided his dick would make
    a perfect clothes-drying rod,
[11:47] Asirpa
    and hung many expensive kimonos from it.
[11:51] Asirpa
    When he pulled his dick in, it brought
    many fine kimonos back with it.
[11:55] Asirpa
    Life was good for a while, until Penampe
    came and asked about the source of his wealth.
[12:03] Asirpa
    When he told him, Penampe went to the
    coast and stretched out his dick.
[12:08] Asirpa
    The women of Matsumae came
    toward it once more,
[12:10] Asirpa
    but now they knew that
    this rod stole kimonos.
[12:14] Asirpa
    So they chopped off his dick with a katana.
[12:18] Asirpa
    Penampe died like the moron he was.
[12:21] Sugimoto
    Does he die at the end every time?
[12:24] Asirpa
    It's no good... The acting's not
    good enough to convey the story!
[12:28] Sugimoto
    What's wrong, Asirpa-san?
[12:30] Sugimoto
    You're acting odd.
[12:31] Asirpa
    It won't last like this.
[12:34] Asirpa
    It won't be passed on...
[12:35] Sugimoto
    Why not try a serious story?
    One that's not about dicks?
[12:40] Asirpa
    You're right, Sugimoto.
[12:43] Narrator
    Almost of Panampe and Penampe's stories
    involved dicks in one way or another!
[12:48] Asirpa
    Next, we'll tell the story of the kesorap!
[12:51] Asirpa
    It's the story of three brothers!
[12:54] Asirpa
    Cikapasi is the star!
[12:55] Enonoka
    Congratulations, Cikapasi!
[12:57] Asirpa
    Ready... roll!
[13:01] Asirpa
    I have a big brother and a little brother.
[13:04] Asirpa
    We would always go hunting together.
[13:07] Asirpa
    One day, we went farther out hunting than
    we usually did, and found a house.
[13:11] Asirpa
    There were three girls inside, so we
    all ate the fish we had together,
[13:17] Asirpa
    and sang a yukar.
[13:19] Asirpa
    A suspicious man came in!
[13:23] Asirpa
    My older brother gave me the
    signal to beat him with a stick.
[13:27] Asirpa
    So I did!
[13:28] Asirpa
    It was a big bear pretending to be human!
[13:32] Asirpa
    The only children in this house were girls,
[13:35] Asirpa
    so nobody could hunt bears for their meat.
[13:37] Asirpa
    The girls were very grateful.
[13:40] Asirpa
    We went on another long journey,
    before stopping at the girls' home again.
[13:45] Asirpa
    Their father asked me to
    marry one of the girls.
[13:50] Asirpa
    I became a member of their household.
    I worked very hard and lived happily.
[13:59] Asirpa
    And then my older brother told me
    that he was actually not a human,
[14:03] Asirpa
    but a bird kamuy called a kesorap.
[14:07] Asirpa
    He took the form of a beautiful
    bird and flew high into the sky.
[14:12] Sugimoto
    Pull! Lift him! Higher!
[14:15] Shiraishi
    He's so heavy...
[14:16] Asirpa
    Hey, Cikapasi!
[14:18] Asirpa
    What's with that dumb look on your face?!
[14:21] Asirpa
    Nothing's going to get across like that!
[14:23] Asirpa
    Listen to me, Cikapasi.
[14:25] Asirpa
    This is a man who took you in when you had
    no relatives! He took you on a journey,
[14:30] Asirpa
    fought evil kamuy, raised you up to be a
    strong young man, and gave you a new family!
[14:37] Asirpa
    And now you're saying goodbye to him forever!
[14:42] Asirpa
    The tears of the giant bird
    became rain, and fell down on us.

    That's part of it, yes.
[20:31] Sugimoto
    I never told you what Wilk said just
    before he was shot at Abashiri.
[20:37] Sugimoto
    He told me that he'd raised you to
    hide in the mountains and fight.
[20:42] Sugimoto
    To make you someone who could lead the Ainu.
[20:49] Sugimoto
    Wilk got you caught up in this
    before you knew anything.
[20:55] Sugimoto
    And Kiroranke, even if he didn't
    mean to, put you in a position
[20:59] Sugimoto
    where you'll feel like the only thing you can
    do is fight to protect what you care about.

    Maybe when you're a warrior and a parent,
    there's ways you can handle these things.

    You told me that if you kill somebody,
    you go to some kind of hell, right?

    You're not a religious girl.
    How do you interpret that?

    Maybe the person who came up with the
    idea of hell was someone like me.

    can't go back to who they were before.
