SIGN    Noboribetsu [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? SIGN    I     B     U     R     I SIGN    H     I     D     A     K     A SIGN    T     O     K     A     C     H     I SIGN    K     I     T     A     M     I [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. SIGN    T     H     E          N     E     X     T          N     I     G     H     T [01:47] Heiji     Umph! [01:50] Tsurumi     Watch your step, Admiral Koito. [01:53] Tsurumi     It's a new moon tonight. [02:07] Ariko     Where are they? [02:12] Toni     Come on! [02:15] Toni     Did you get them? [02:16] Ariko     I got them all! SIGN    Golden Kamuy SIGN    Episode Forty-Two     Sweet Lies [03:51] Soldier A     I see footprints here! [03:53] Soldier B     Don't let him get away! [03:55] Toni     There's a sheer rock wall to our right,      and round rocks to our left. [04:01] Ariko     If we keep going, we'll meet     a dead end between the cliffs. [04:05] Ariko     Let's turn back. [04:08] Toni     Watch out for fallen trees. [04:10] Toni     The smell of blood is terrible.     Can you make it over the mountain? [04:14] Ariko     Yes. SIGN    S     E     V     E     R     A     L          H     O     U     R     S          E     A     R     L     I     E     R [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! SIGN    Golden Kamuy [10:34] All     Toh! Toh! To! [10:36] All     Toh! Toh! To! [10:38] All     Toh! Toh! To! [10:40] Narrator     Ryu was promoted to isohseta,     the lead dog pulling Sugimoto's sled. [10:40] All     Toh! Toh! To! [10:46] Sugimoto     Ryu looks so good with     that thing on his head! SIGN    Enonoka's     Village SIGN    Henke's     Lead     Dog [10:57] Asirpa     Dogs capable of becoming     the lead dog on a sled team [11:00] Asirpa     are treated better than the other dogs. [11:02] Asirpa     They're allowed to sleep     inside with their owners. [11:05] Shiraishi     Ryu would be treated     better if he stayed here. [11:09] Shiraishi     He's found a place where he belongs. [11:11] Sugimoto     Thanks for everything, Ryu. [11:13] Koito     Thanks. [11:14] Tsukishima     A passing horse sled is going to Oodomari. [11:18] Tsukishima     I asked them to give us a ride. [11:20] Tsukishima     We'll say our goodbyes to     Henke and Enonoka here. [11:25] Sugimoto     She really is a grown-up little girl. [11:29] Cikapasi     Enonoka... [11:37] Sugimoto     We'll wait for you. [11:38] Sugimoto     Go talk to her. [11:44] Enonoka     I won't say goodbye. I'll wait for you. [11:48] Enonoka     Don't lose your hohchiri when you cut it off. [11:53] Enonoka     Don't forget me. [11:57] Cikapasi     I won't forget. [11:59] Koito     Get on! We're leaving! [12:03] Cikapasi     I'll come back, Enonoka! [12:08] Sugimoto     Bye, old man! [12:10] Sugimoto     Stay healthy, all of you! [12:24] Enonoka     Cikapasi! [12:27] Cikapasi     Enonoka, wait for me! I'll— [12:32] Tanigaki     Stop the sled. [12:33] Tanigaki     One of us fell off. [12:34] Tanigaki     You okay, Cikapasi? [12:35] Shiraishi     Hurry up! [12:42] Shiraishi     We'll leave you behind! [12:50] Shiraishi     What's gotten into him? [12:53] Tanigaki     Give me a second. [13:07] Cikapasi     Tanigaki Nispa. [13:13] Tanigaki     Cikapasi... You stay here, [13:18] Tanigaki     and make yourself a real family. [13:22] Cikapasi     Yeah. [13:24] Cikapasi     Inkarmat's like me, all alone. [13:28] Cikapasi     You be her family, Tanigaki Nispa. [13:35] Tanigaki     I'll give you this gun. [13:39] Tanigaki     I inherited it from the     man who saved my life. [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. [13:55] Tanigaki     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. [14:08] Cikapasi     Make sure you bring Asirpa     home and cheer up Huci! [14:13] Tanigaki     Yes, I will. [14:17] Shiraishi     Bye, Cikapasi! [14:19] Asirpa     Live a good life! 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. SIGN    Travel Inn [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    7th Division 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!
