[00:01] Tsurumi
So he was pretending to be a masseur
while spying on our movements?
[00:06] Tsurumi
The owner of this skin was a very brave man.
[00:09] Kikuta
Ariko noticed something about the tattoos.
[00:13] Ariko
It reminded me of the tattoos
on my grandmother's arms.
[00:17] Ariko
Perhaps that has something to
do with the code, I thought.
[00:19] Tsurumi
Oh?
[00:26] Ariko
Are these all the skins you have, Lieutenant?
[00:31] Tsurumi
Indeed.
[00:33] Tsurumi
But, Ariko, I'm amazed you found the
skin in the middle of that avalanche.
[00:38] Ariko
I was lucky, that's all.
[00:40] Ariko
The man's legs were sticking out of the snow.
[00:43] Tsurumi
If we weren't lucky, the skin might've
ended up fertilizing the mountain flowers,
[00:47] Tsurumi
or feeding wild dogs.
[00:50] Tsurumi
And given that even a single missing skin
[00:52] Tsurumi
will stop us from finding
the gold together...
[00:55] Tsurumi
A terrifying thought, isn't it?
[00:59] Kikuta
Well, Ariko?
[01:00] Kikuta
Does it seem similar at
all to the Ainu tattoos?

[01:03] Ariko
Ainu tattoos differ by region.
[01:06] Ariko
I thought perhaps that was a clue
to where the gold was hidden.
[01:10] Ariko
But right now, I can't say.
[01:12] Tsurumi
I see.
[01:13] Tsurumi
But that's interesting to hear.
[01:19] Kikuta
Ariko, the moon's the same, isn't it?
[01:22] Ariko
What's this about the moon?
[01:25] Kikuta
You and I spent a night
calling out to each other
[01:27] Kikuta
in a trench at the Battle of Mukden.
[01:31] Kikuta
The only thing we could see in the
darkness was the thin sliver of moon.
[01:35] Kikuta
The moon's the one thing that
hasn't changed since then.

There's a sheer rock wall to our right,
and round rocks to our left.

a dead end between the cliffs.

Let's turn back.

[04:29] (Flashback) Ariko
What's this makiri doing here?
[04:33] (Flashback) Kikuta
It was Lieutenant Tsurumi who took what was
left from the murder scene in Tomakomai.
[04:38] (Flashback) Kikuta
He knows that your father was one of
the seven Ainu killed by Nopperabo.
[04:45] (Flashback) Kikuta
I'm disappointed.
[04:47] (Flashback) Kikuta
You forgot the moon we saw
from the trenches, didn't you?
[04:53] (Flashback) Tsurumi
The tattooed skin you brought
me didn't belong to Toni Anji.
[04:58] (Flashback) Tsurumi
I guess Hijikata Toshizou was unaware
that we already knew what his skin said.
[05:06] (Flashback) Tsurumi
He put you up to this, I assume. Told you
to follow in your father's footsteps?
[05:22] (Flashback) Usami
There's no going back now.
[05:24] (Flashback) Usami
You chose the worst of all possible paths.
[05:31] Ariko
He's still alive.
[05:39] Hijikata
Ariko Ipopte...
[05:44] (Flashback) Tsurumi
I'll tell you the one big difference
between me and Hijikata Toshizou.
[05:49] (Flashback) Tsurumi
His plan for Hokkaido's independence
requires the support and trust of the Ainu.
[05:55] (Flashback) Tsurumi
That's why he could never exact
real revenge for your betrayal.
[06:00] (Flashback) Tsurumi
But I'm different.
[06:03] (Flashback) Tsurumi
I can punish anyone, Japanese or Ainu.
[06:09] (Flashback) Tsurumi
Like Ikaripopo, the mother of Ariko Ipopte.
[06:12] (Flashback) Tsurumi
And his older brother, Yayuhuyka.
[06:13] (Flashback) Tsurumi
And his older sister, Rerasuye,
who married a man in Hidaka.
[06:16] (Flashback) Tsurumi
And his nephews Isoninpa and Tumasinu.
[06:20] (Flashback) Tsurumi
Private Ariko!
[06:22] (Flashback) Tsurumi
You are to take all these
to Hijikata Toshizou,
[06:26] (Flashback) Tsurumi
and earn their trust.
[06:28] (Flashback) Tsurumi
You'll be my double agent.
[06:30] (Flashback) Tsurumi
You can do that, right?
[06:34] (Flashback) Tsurumi
Good. With that settled,
[06:36] (Flashback) Tsurumi
I'd like to make it look like you
had to really work to earn them.
[06:40] (Flashback) Tsurumi
Usami, do it.
[06:44] (Flashback) Usami
With pleasure.
[06:46] (Flashback) Usami
Ariko, grit your teeth.
[06:56] (Flashback) Tsurumi
Run fast, Ariko.
[06:59] (Flashback) Tsurumi
I won't tell the men I send after you a thing.
[07:01] (Flashback) Usami/Kikuta
One, two...
[07:04] Toni
Wait, let me rest!
I'm an old man who can't see!
[07:10] Ariko
We're not far enough away yet.
[07:12] Ariko
If we don't go another day
without rest, we'll be caught.
[07:21] Ariko
There.
[07:22] Nagakura
You're a mess.
[07:24] Toni
I'm so tired...
[07:25] Ariko
I was found when I tried to steal the skins.
[07:28] Kantarou
Did you get them?
[07:31] Hijikata
Sekiya's skin, which Ariko
pretended was Toni Anji's,
[07:37] Hijikata
as well as the five possessed
by Lieutenant Tsurumi.
[07:39] Hijikata
Six in all.
[07:42] Hijikata
Is this all?
[07:43] Ariko
It's all he showed me.
[07:46] Nagakura
Is it possible that there were others?
[07:49] Nagakura
I'm told that one is worn
by its bearer at all times.
[07:52] Ariko
I stole it at bath time.
It should be in here.
[07:58] Kikuta
I know he needed to earn the enemy's trust,
[08:02] Kikuta
but was it okay to turn
over every skin we have?
[08:05] Kikuta
Wouldn't a paper copy have worked, as well?
[08:07] Tsurumi
It's important that they be on skin.
[08:10] Tsurumi
Paper can be easily faked.
[08:13] Tsurumi
The one that Ariko brought wasn't
Toni Anji's skin, but it was real.
[08:19] Tsurumi
This is a copy, and the only reason
I can trust it is that I made it myself.
[08:26] Tsurumi
To anyone but me, it's much less trustworthy.
[08:31] Tsurumi
The fact that it's on skin proves its real.
[08:34] Tsurumi
That's why Edogai-kun's tattooed
skins are so valuable.
[08:39] Kikuta
Edogai-kun?
[08:41] Tsurumi
The five given to Ariko are all clever
fakes made from real human skin.
[08:47] Kikuta
Fakes? Is that possible?
[08:50] Tsurumi
It's entirely possible that Hijikata
Toshizou will crack the code before we do.
[08:55] Tsurumi
If that happens, the fakes
will prove to be of immense value.
[09:00] Kantarou
What do you think about that Ainu guy?
[09:03] Hijikata
We need to be careful with him.
[09:05] Hijikata
It was a cruel thing to do to Ariko,
[09:07] Hijikata
but I sent him with that skin knowing they'd
realize it didn't belong to Toni Anji.
[09:16] Nagakura
I saw with my own eyes that
Sugimoto Saichi was taken in
[09:20] Nagakura
by Lieutenant Tsurumi after
being shot at Abashiri.
[09:24] Nagakura
Which means that the copy of Toni
Anji's skin would've been confiscated.
[09:28] Hijikata
The fact that he made it here alive means
one of two things: either he's a spy,
[09:35] Hijikata
or Lieutenant Tsurumi deliberately
allowed the skins to be stolen.
[09:40] Hijikata
Either way, these skins are likely fake.
[09:45] Hijikata
But that's what I wanted.
[09:48] Hijikata
Add these five to the one
we found at the taxidermist,
[09:53] Hijikata
and it matches that "human taxidermy."
[09:56] Hijikata
What's important is that the tattooed
skins are made from real human skin.
[09:59] Hijikata
If any other skin tattoos were mixed in,
it would cause a great deal of trouble.
[10:05] Hijikata
We're extremely fortunate to have all of them
[10:07] Hijikata
in our possession before they were spread.
[10:09] Hijikata
These skins are half-truths that are
incredibly close to being a full truths.
[10:13] Hijikata
The plot to use Ariko against us
ended up going massively in our favor.
[10:20] Tsurumi
We'll need to keep Asirpa carefully protected.
She's the key to cracking the code.
[10:26] Tsurumi
We head to Karafuto!

[13:35] Tanigaki
I'll give you this gun.
[13:39] Tanigaki
I inherited it from the

[13:44] Tanigaki
Use it to hunt, and repay Henke and
the others for what they did for us.
[13:48] Tanigaki
But don't use it until you're grown up.
[13:53] Tanigaki
I won't be with you to hold you.

When you use it, stand up by yourself.
[13:58] Cikapasi
Stand up by myself...
[14:00] Cikapasi
I'll be like a boner, won't I, Tanigaki Nispa?
[14:05] Tanigaki
Yes! You will be a boner, Cikapasi.

SIGN Oodomari
[14:34] Tsukishima
Lieutenant Tsurumi is arriving
tomorrow, it seems.
[14:41] Tsukishima
You don't look happy.
[14:43] Koito
There's something I have to ask
you before Lieutenant Tsurumi arrives.
[14:49] Tsukishima
Very well.
[14:50] Koito
What Ogata said to me at Ako,
just before he fled...
[14:54] (Flashback) Ogata
Barchonok.
[14:58] Koito
He also said this...
[15:03] (Flashback) Ogata
Next time you see Lieutenant Tsurumi,
ask him about the Manchurian Railroad.
[15:11] Koito
The South Manchuria Railway Company.
[15:14] Koito
We won railway rights to Manchuria as
a result of the Russo-Japanese War.
[15:18] Koito
This "railway company," however,
[15:19] Koito
would serve as a de facto
expansion of Japanese territory.
[15:22] Koito
One member of the army, however, violently
resisted the plan and said it would fail.
[15:29] Koito
That was General Hanazawa Koujirou,
the former commander of the 7th Division.
[15:33] Koito
Only after his suicide did the plans for
the South Manchuria Railway Company advance.
[15:38] Koito
After returning from the Russo-Japanese War,
didn't Lieutenant Tsurumi say...
[15:43] Koito
that our comrades still lie beneath
the cold Manchurian wastes?
[15:47] Koito
That if Manchuria were Japanese territory,
their bones would rest in Japan.
[15:53] Koito
Does this mean Lieutenant Tsurumi was
involved in General Hanazawa's death?
[15:58] Koito
If we assume that Ogata Hyakunosuke joined
Lieutenant Tsurumi's plan for a revolution
[16:03] Koito
because he was angry at
the central government
[16:04] Koito
for forcing his father to commit suicide,
[16:06] Koito
only to find out the truth at some point
and betray him, everything makes sense.
[16:11] Koito
But then why tell me?
[16:15] Tsukishima
He'd say anything to cause
confusion in our ranks.
[16:20] Tsukishima
Why, at this point, would you
believe a word Ogata says?
[16:23] Koito
Barchonok.
[16:25] Koito
Ogata was among the masked men
that kidnapped me in Hakodate.

[16:32] Asirpa
I've never met Lieutenant Tsurumi.
[16:36] Asirpa
What's he like?
[16:37] Sugimoto
Don't worry. It'll be fine.
[16:40] Asirpa
What will happen if they find the gold?
[16:43] Sugimoto
If nothing else, nobody will
come after you anymore.
[16:47] Asirpa
No. What happens to the Ainu?
[16:49] Sugimoto
If they want Hokkaido to
be an independent state,
[16:52] Sugimoto
they won't want to make enemies of them.
[16:54] Sugimoto
They'll need laborers, if nothing else.
[16:57] Sugimoto
We can negotiate to ensure that
any demands you have are met.
[17:00] Sugimoto
You're the only one that can crack the code,
[17:03] Sugimoto
which means we completely
have the upper hand.
[17:10] Tsukishima
Ogata?
[17:12] Tsukishima
The masked men were Russians.
You saw their corpses.
[17:16] Koito
Were you one of the masked
men too, Tsukishima?
[17:20] Tsukishima
Calm down, Lieutenant Koito.
[17:23] Koito
The whole thing was a sham,
a show put on for me and my father!
[17:26] Koito
You wanted to pretend to rescue us,
[17:27] Koito
so you could get access to the Oominato
Torpedo Group my father commands!
[17:31] Koito
Ogata mentioned the Manchurian Railway
to me because he wanted me to know
[17:37] Koito
that the two of us were just Lieutenant
Tsurumi's pawns, just like General Hanazawa!
[17:43] Koito
Am I wrong, Tsukishima?
[17:44] Tsukishima
These are ridiculous, paranoid fantasies.
[17:46] Koito
Enough!
[17:47] Koito
I'll ask him myself!
[17:49] Koito
I'll find out the truth
in front of my father.
[17:53] Tsukishima
You were saved, weren't you?
[17:56] Koito
What?
[17:58] Tsukishima
I had no idea that Ogata
[17:59] Tsukishima
knew of the connection between the
Manchurian Railway and General Hanazawa.
[18:04] Tsukishima
I was sure his plan was to turn Lieutenant
Tsurumi over to the central authorities.
[18:08] Tsukishima
What was he upset about?
[18:10] Tsukishima
He should've been satisfied
that he got to kill his father.
[18:14] Koito
Ogata killed his father?
[18:17] Tsukishima
Tsurumi put on another little play
for me. A very complex one.
[18:22] Tsukishima
The soldier really was from Sado, I assume.
[18:26] Tsukishima
But after the war, I realized...
[18:29] Tsukishima
There was no reason for somebody
from Niigata's 2nd Division
[18:32] Tsukishima
to be in that field hospital.
SIGN Mukden

SIGN 2nd Division
[18:34] Tsukishima
On that day,
[18:36] Tsukishima
the 2nd Division was a full sixty
kilometers away, fighting in the mountains.
[18:41] Tsukishima
Tsurumi revealed the trick after nine years,
[18:44] Tsukishima
tearing open old wounds and pouring
his own love in to fill the hole.
[18:50] Tsukishima
That should tell you how
hard he worked to save me.
[18:54] Tsukishima
To create an army that
would lay down their lives for him,
[18:56] Tsukishima
that would do anything, no matter how dirty.
[19:00] Tsukishima
But, well, it doesn't bother me.
[19:03] Tsukishima
My life was never worth enough that I could
get mad at someone for using me.
[19:09] Tsukishima
He wants to use the Ainu gold
to finance an arms industry
[19:13] Tsukishima
that makes full use of
Hokkaido's vast resources,
[19:15] Tsukishima
then start a revolution to establish
his own military government,
[19:18] Tsukishima
thus improving the status of the 7th Division.
[19:21] Tsukishima
And after that, ensure that Manchuria,
where our comrades sleep,
[19:25] Tsukishima
is de facto Japanese territory.
[19:27] Tsukishima
What's wrong with any of that?
[19:29] Koito
Is that Lieutenant Tsurumi's final goal?
[19:35] Tsukishima
I don't know his true goal.
[19:37] Tsukishima
He excels at using sweet lies to save people.
[19:42] Tsukishima
But if where he's going requires a
revolution or an invasion of Manchuria...
[19:50] Tsukishima
Then the people who follow him will be saved.
[19:54] Tsukishima
And I see nothing wrong with that.
[19:56] Koito
Tsukishima, why do you...
[19:59] Tsukishima
Only people like that can
ever do big things, right?
[20:05] Tsukishima
I want to watch Lieutenant Tsurumi's
drama from a front-row seat...
[20:09] Tsukishima
Until the curtain falls.
[20:11] Tsukishima
It would be smart to keep
this all to yourself.
[20:15] Tsukishima
Lieutenant Tsurumi would think nothing
of killing you, if he had to.
[20:19] Tsukishima
And I would be the one to do his dirty work.
[20:33] Koito
Lieutenant Tsurumi is awesome!
[20:36] Koito
Does that mean that even our chance
meeting in Kagoshima was staged?
[20:41] Koito
He even staged a fake kidnapping?!
[20:42] Koito
I'm so happy he needs me so badly!
[20:47] Koito
I can't wait to see him!
I can't wait to see Lieutenant Tsurumi!
[20:50] Koito
I can't wait! I can't wait!
[20:52] Koito
I can't wait to see Lieutenant Tsurumi!
[20:58] Shiraishi
Huh? Couldn't sleep, Immortal Sugimoto-san?
[21:04] Shiraishi
You're gonna hand over
Asirpa-chan to the soldiers
[21:07] Shiraishi
and be Lieutenant Tsurumi's little doggie, right?
[21:10] Tsurumi
It's not like that!
[21:12] Shiraishi
If you were gonna join the guy,
you should've done it at Otaru!
[21:17] Shiraishi
He used to be a lone wolf type.
Wouldn't hook up with anybody!
[21:21] Prostitute
Huh, so he softened up.
[21:23] Sugimoto
Things are different now!
[21:25] Sugimoto
Once they crack the code, Lieutenant Tsurumi
and his men won't need Asirpa-san!
[21:30] Sugimoto
They won't force her to fight for
the Ainu, like Hijikata Toshizou would!
[21:34] Sugimoto
When you think about what's best
for her, it's the only choice!
[21:38] Shiraishi
Asirpa-san! Asirpa-san!
[21:40] Shiraishi
What happened to giving money to
that widow you were in love with?
[21:45] Sugimoto
I made a deal to get the money.
[21:47] Sugimoto
For enough money for her to get treatment.
[21:50] Shiraishi
And how much do I get?
[21:53] Shiraishi
I didn't put up with all this
shit for a few hundred yen!
[21:58] Sugimoto
You're always obsessed with money!
[22:05] Shiraishi
So you're gonna be the one to guide
Asirpa-chan to the right path?
[22:08] Shiraishi
She ain't your lover,
your wife, or your daughter!
[22:13] Prostitute
I don't like people who try
to tie me down, either.
[22:15] Sugimoto
Shut up and go home!
[22:18] Shiraishi
You're just a shriveled up, tired husk of
a man who can't go on adventures anymore,
[22:22] Shiraishi
so he's trying to convince himself
he's got something to protect!
[22:27] Shiraishi
You didn't see Asirpa-chan in Karafuto!
[22:31] Shiraishi
She learned a whole lot and grew up!
[22:35] Shiraishi
She's not the girl she was when you met her!
[22:39] Shiraishi
You finally met each other again
in Karafuto, but you're still apart.
[22:43] Shiraishi
What Kiroranke taught her wasn't a lie!
[22:47] Shiraishi
He dragged her all the way to Karafuto
so she could see what it's like up there!
[22:54] Shiraishi
If Asirpa-chan says she
wants to lead the Ainu,
[22:59] Shiraishi
knowing exactly what that means,
then let her do it!
[23:01] Shiraishi
If you just believed in her
as your partner and an equal,
[23:04] Shiraishi
then you could go back to the
dangerous man you used to be!
[23:07] Shiraishi
And you don't honestly believe Lieutenant
Tsurumi cares about the Ainu, do you?
[23:14] Sugimoto
What do you mean?
[23:20] Shiraishi
I farted.
[23:31] Tsurumi
Prepare to make land!
