[00:06] Koito
    They're here!
[00:11] Tanigaki
    When you get back to Hokkaido,
    ask if you can go see Huci in Otaru.
[00:16] Tanigaki
    Lieutenant Tsurumi's not so cruel
    that he won't allow that.
[00:20] Sugimoto
    It's okay, Asirpa-san.
[00:26] Usami
    Once we have the girl, where do we move her?
[00:29] Tsurumi
    There's a warehouse on the grounds of
    the 25th Tsukisappu Regiment's base
[00:33] Tsurumi
    that hasn't been used since before the war.
[00:36] Tsurumi
    It has a basement that even the Regiment
    Commander doesn't know exists.
[00:41] Tsurumi
    We can hide her there until the gold
    is found, even if it takes years.
[00:51] Tsurumi
    Good work, Karafuto advance team.
[00:54] Tsurumi
    I believed you could do it.
[00:59] Tsurumi
    And this young lady is Asirpa, yes?

    Fleeing Karafuto
[02:41] Tsurumi
    I see.
[02:47] Tsurumi
    All right, get Asirpa aboard the destroyer!
[02:50] Tsurumi
    Sugimoto and Shiraishi can take
    the morning ferry to Wakkanai.
[02:56] Asirpa
    Wait.
[02:57] Asirpa
    Why aren't we together?
[03:00] Tsurumi
    That boat can only carry so many
    passengers. Not all of you can go.
[03:03] Asirpa
    If they're staying in Wakkanai,
    will they not be meeting up with us?
[03:07] Asirpa
    Where am I being taken?
[03:10] Tsurumi
    I'll tell you later.
[03:12] Asirpa
    Are you planning on separating me from
    Sugimoto to lock me up somewhere?
[03:15] Tsurumi
    For now, I need to get you someplace safe.
[03:19] Tsurumi
    You can see Sugimoto anytime you like.
[03:22] Asirpa
    My father told Hijikata Toshizou
    of my existence, and no one else.
[03:26] Asirpa
    He wanted me to be involved
    in the search for the gold,
[03:28] Asirpa
    to ensure it was used for
    the sake of the Ainu.
[03:32] Asirpa
    I want to hear the answer
    from your lips directly.
[03:34] Asirpa
    Do the Ainu exist in the future you envision?
[03:39] Tsurumi
    Of course.
[03:40] Tsurumi
    I'm aiming for a future
    where everyone can be happy.
[03:44] Tsurumi
    But that depends on our
    actions and our will.
[03:48] Tsurumi
    I most certainly want your help.
[03:52] Shiraishi
    Blegh...
[03:54] Asirpa
    If you're not going to use the gold
    for the Ainu, I won't help you.
[03:58] Asirpa
    The gold originally belongs to the Ainu!
[04:01] Tsurumi
    It was "originally" intended to
    buy weapons to kill Japanese.
[04:07] Asirpa
    The Ainu who gathered it for
    that purpose are all dead.
[04:11] Asirpa
    Not every Ainu wants to fight.
[04:15] Asirpa
    We living Ainu will decide how it's used.
[04:18] Tsurumi
    You intend to carry on their will.
[04:22] Tsukishima
    What happened to his sweet lies?
[04:24] Tsurumi
    Your eyes are just like
    your father's, after all.
[04:59] Asirpa
    Sugimoto...
[05:01] Asirpa
    I will be the one to decide my fate.
[05:04] Tsurumi
    Hey!
[05:05] Tsukishima
    Asirpa, what are you doing?
[05:16] Sugimoto
    Those are poison arrows!
[05:17] Sugimoto
    One scratch will kill you!
[05:20] Tsukishima/Koito
    Dodge!
[05:25] Kikuta
    Is everyone okay?
[05:28] Tsurumi
    They're escaping!
[05:32] Sugimoto
    There was no poison on those arrows, right?
[05:36] Sugimoto
    I knew instantly you were
    planning on running away!
[05:40] Asirpa
    I can go to a kotan and
    spend all day on citatap...
[05:42] Asirpa
    Or I can fight a war to protect the Ainu.
[05:45] Asirpa
    There's more than one path I can take.
[05:47] Asirpa
    Sugimoto, if you're my partner, don't tell
     me not to do things from now on.
[05:50] Asirpa
    Instead, I want to hear you
    telling me about the future,
[05:52] Asirpa
    about what we can do together!
[05:55] Sugimoto
    Okay.
[05:56] Sugimoto
    We'll find the gold by ourselves!
[05:58] Asirpa
    Sugimoto, inside!
[06:01] Shiraishi
    Huh? Am I gonna die?
[06:03] Tsurumi
    You two check that way!
[06:06] Tsurumi
    Remember to search inside the buildings!
[06:10] Asirpa
    We can leave out that door.
[06:11] Sugimoto
    Do you know of a place we can go?
[06:13] Asirpa
    I do.
[06:17] Tanigaki
    The ferry?
[06:18] Shiraishi
    Yeah. It was out of commission before,
     but it's leaving today!
[06:22] Shiraishi
    They'll be getting on it!
[06:26] Asirpa
    We can get through this way.
[06:30] Usami
    There you are.
[06:34] Kikuta
    That way.
[06:44] Asirpa
    Hurry! They'll all be heading this way!
[06:46] Soldier C
    I found them! This way!
[06:50] Sugimoto
    Go! Go!
[06:51] Tsukishima
    Halt!
[06:53] Tsukishima
    You can't get away, Sugimoto!
[07:03] Asirpa
    Sugimoto!
[07:04] Tsukishima
    Don't shoot! You'll hit Asirpa!
[07:08] Asirpa
    Sugimoto, stand!
[07:10] Koito
    Don't move, Asirpa.
[07:12] Koito
    You must've known this would
    happen if you tried to run.
[07:16] Tsukishima
    What are you doing?
[07:17] Tsukishima
    Get away from them, Lieutenant Koito!
[07:21] Tsukishima
    Get away!
[07:22] Tsukishima
    He's...
[07:25] Sugimoto
    I am Immortal Sugimoto!
[07:43] Tsukishima
    Let me see your wounds, Lieutenant Koito!
[07:51] Kikuta
    Sergeant Tsukishima, follow them!
[07:52] Kikuta
    They're getting away!
[07:56] Tsukishima
    Don't pull that out, please.
[07:58] Koito
    Go, Tsukishima. I'm fine.
[08:02] Tsukishima
    I warned you not to let
    your emotions take over.
[08:08] Tsukishima
    And yesterday you even seemed to listen.
[08:16] Tsukishima
    Would it kill you to pretend you're worried?
[08:20] Asirpa
    You can do this, Sugimoto.
[08:22] Asirpa
    We're almost to the ferry.
[08:26] Asirpa
    Let's go.
[08:32] Asirpa
    Mister Hood...
[08:39] Asirpa
    Shiraishi!
[08:41] Shiraishi
    Asirpa-chan! I knew you'd come!
[08:45] Asirpa
    Get on!
[08:47] Tanigaki
    Hey, wait!
[08:49] Asirpa
    Don't come with us, Tanigaki!
[08:51] Asirpa
    Inkarmat is with Lieutenant Tsurumi, right?
[08:55] Tanigaki
    They'll be watching your village!
     You can't go back!
[09:01] Asirpa
    Tell Huci I dreamed that we'd be reunited!
[09:05] Asirpa
    She might believe it and feel better!
[09:08] Asirpa
    I'll come back to see her... Tell her that!
[09:12] Shiraishi
    Bye, Tanigaki Genjiro.
[09:31] Kikuta
    Private Tanigaki!
[09:33] Kikuta
    What the hell are you doing
    walking around out here?
[09:35] Kikuta
    You were with Shiraishi Yoshitake, right?
[09:39] Kikuta
    Where did he go?
[09:45] Tanigaki
    I saw him run toward the city
    with Asirpa and Sugimoto.
[09:50] Kikuta
    Then why aren't you going after them?
[09:52] Kikuta
    Run, Private Tanigaki!
[09:55] Tanigaki
    I'm a Matagi.
[09:58] Tanigaki

SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[10:14] Shiraishi
    It's going to be leaving soon, they said.
[10:16] Asirpa
    Sugimoto...
[10:18] Sugimoto
    I'm fine.
[10:19] Sugimoto
    These wounds aren't enough to let
     my soul escape my body.
[10:24] Sugimoto
    It's not that time yet.
[10:29] Sugimoto
    What's wrong, Mister Hood?
[10:37] Sugimoto
    Crap! One of them's coming this way!
[10:39] Soldier
    Hey! You, ship there!
[10:42] Soldier
    Don't leave port!
[10:45] Shiraishi
    Bang!
[10:46] Shiraishi
    Get him! You can hit him, right?
[10:49] Shiraishi
    Bang!
[10:50] Asirpa
    The leg! Aim for the leg!
[10:55] Soldier
    Hey!
[11:01] Asirpa
    Did you hit his leg?
[11:02] Shiraishi
    Good... job.
[11:09] Shiraishi
    Yes!
[11:10] Shiraishi
    We escaped Karafuto!
[11:12] Shiraishi
    We're free of them!
[11:31] Shiraishi
    Sheesh... of all the places to decide to run.
[11:37] Sugimoto
    If we're the only ones to find the gold,
[11:40] Sugimoto
    we'll be the only ones who
    decide what it's used for.
[11:43] Sugimoto
    I've decided to believe that Asirpa-san
    will look for a way to protect the Ainu
[11:49] Sugimoto
    that she can believe in.
[11:53] Shiraishi
    That's great.
[11:55] Shiraishi
    But how are we going to find it ourselves?
[12:02] Shiraishi
    They followed us!
[12:04] Admiral Koito
    Send a message via heliograph.
[12:14] Crew
    They said to stop engines immediately, captain!
[12:19] Captain
    What are they thinking?
[12:23] Sugimoto
    Don't stop the ship.
[12:25] Sugimoto
    They're after the girl. They won't
    sink the ship, no matter what.
[12:31] Captain
    You're covered in blood.
[12:33] Captain
    I'm guessing they're not stopping
    us for an inspection, then.
[12:36] Sugimoto
    It's would be for the best if you
     didn't ask what's going on.
[12:39] Captain
    Fine!
[12:40] Captain
    I ain't gonna listen to a bunch of shits
    who'll fire at ship full of civilians,
[12:49] Captain
    warning shot or not!
[12:51] Captain
    Full speed ahead!
[12:57] Captain
    But still...
[12:59] Captain
    They're a hell of a lot faster than us.
[13:02] Captain
    They'll catch up fast.
[13:06] Sugimoto
    I know!
[13:07] Sugimoto
    Can we head through those
    into the sea beyond?
[13:10] Sugimoto
    Buy time!
[13:13] Captain
    This ain't no icebreaker!
[13:15] Captain
    If we hit the ice floes, we'll sink!
[13:18] Sugimoto
    Just do it! Turn the ship
    towards the ice floe!
[13:21] Sugimoto
    Believe me!
[13:24] Destroyer Crew
    Captain, the ferry's changed course!
[13:28] Destroyer Crew
    It's heading east.
[13:30] Admiral Koito
    Block their path.
[13:40] Shiraishi
    The kimono fell open and exposed the slit!
[13:43] Sugimoto
    Yes! Just like I thought!
[13:45] Sugimoto
    I figured they'd fire a bunch of shells
    in the direction we turned to scare us!
[13:49] Shiraishi
    Way to go, Sugimoto. You've got the mind
    of a man who likes to threaten people.
[13:53] Shiraishi
    Run, before the slit gets closed up!
[13:57] Destroyer Crew
    The ferry has increased speed!
[14:02] Destroyer Crew
    There are ice floes ahead of it!
[14:03] Destroyer Crew B
    How are they going to get past them?
[14:07] Tsurumi
    Perhaps the shells we fired
    created a path for them?
[14:22] Sugimoto
    It's only a matter of time
    before they catch up.
[14:25] Asirpa
    Okay. Shiraishi, follow me.
[14:27] Shiraishi
    What?
[14:28] Asirpa
    We're gathering all the
    white fabric we can find!
[14:30] Shiraishi
    What are we gonna do with
    all this? Raise a white flag?
[14:37] Destroyer Crew
    The ferry stopped.
[14:41] Destroyer Crew
    It's started to move.
[14:44] Destroyer Crew
    It's turning toward us.
[14:54] Kikuta
    Come on out, Sugimoto Saichi!
[14:57] Captain
    He just got off.
[14:59] Usami
    Got off?
[15:03] Kikuta
    Search the ship!
[15:04] Soldier H
    Did you hide him somewhere?
[15:06] Captain
    I've got no reason to hide the guy.
[15:09] Captain
    He and his friends got off
    when we stopped back there.
[15:13] Captain
    They walked away right
    on top of the ice floes!
[15:18] Soldier H
    I can't see them anywhere...
[15:20] Soldier H
    They couldn't get away that quickly on foot.
[15:24] Usami
    I'll go down onto the
    floes and search for them.
[15:28] Tsurumi
    No.
[15:30] Tsurumi
    They've got someone with them
[15:32] Tsurumi
    who hit a target 200 meters
    away from a ferry on the water.
[15:37] Tsurumi
    On the ice floes, you'd be a sitting duck.
[15:41] Tsurumi
    All army soldiers are to board
    the ferry and head to Wakkanai.
[15:45] Tsurumi
    Head south from Wakkanai and search
    the villages along the Okhotsk coast.
[15:50] Soldiers
    Yes, sir!
[15:52] Tsurumi
    There was something I wanted to have
    a long chat with her about, too...
[15:56] Shiraishi
    Yes! They're not following! We made it!
[16:02] Sugimoto
    There were only two hours left
    on the ferry to Wakkanai,
[16:06] Sugimoto
    so we can make it there on foot.
[16:08] Sugimoto
    They'll have taken the ferry
    to get to Wakkanai ahead of us.
[16:12] Sugimoto
    We need to take the long way around.
    Do something they won't expect...
[16:15] Shiraishi
    That's gonna suck.
[16:18] Usami
    Couldn't we just threaten
    to kill Asirpa's relatives?
[16:22] Kikuta
    Usami, you can't threaten
    someone who's already escaped.
[16:27] Usami
    I know that. Shut up.
[16:31] Usami
    Could we put an obituary for
    her grandma in the paper?
[16:35] Kikuta
    I'm opposed to killing an innocent old woman.
[16:41] Usami
    You don't need to kill her.
    It can be a fake obituary.
[16:46] Usami
    She'll get what we're trying to say.
[16:48] Tsurumi
    If there was any hesitation in her...
    If she didn't have strong resolve...
[16:54] Tsurumi
    She might give in that way.
[16:59] Asirpa
    I had to do this.
[17:01] Asirpa
    If Lieutenant Tsurumi and his men get
    the gold, it won't be used for the Ainu.
[17:06] Asirpa
    We Ainu gathered that gold for ourselves.
[17:11] Asirpa
    Right, Sugimoto?
[17:13] Sugimoto
    I think you're right.
[17:15] Sugimoto
    Actually, last night, Shiraishi said
    she heard Tsukishima and Koito talking.
[17:22] Shiraishi
    I didn't understand most of what they said.
[17:26] Shiraishi
    But I did learn that they're planning
    on overthrowing the government
[17:30] Shiraishi
    and advancing into Manchuria.
[17:34] Shiraishi
    Hokkaido's just the first step.
[17:37] Sugimoto
    We can't blame them for not
    caring about Ainu independence.
[17:42] Sugimoto
    There were a lot of Ainu in the 7th.
[17:46] Sugimoto
    They see them as fellow Japanese
[17:47] Sugimoto
    who fought in the war against
    the great power, Russia.
[17:52] Shiraishi
    To be honest, I'm glad they didn't
    get their hands on Asirpa-chan.
[17:57] Shiraishi
    Otherwise, what did Kiro-chan die for?
[18:01] Asirpa
    Why did Kiroranke Nispa go to war?
[18:06] Asirpa
    To protect the family he
    had in Japan from Russia?
[18:09] Shiraishi
    There's something Kiro-chan told me
    that he never told the rest of you.
[18:14] Shiraishi
    When Wilk disappeared,
[18:16] Shiraishi
    the independence movements for native
    people of the Far East fell apart.
[18:20] Shiraishi
    So for now, he wanted to fight Imperial
    Russia in the only way that he could.
[18:25] Shiraishi
    He wanted to kill as many
    Russians as he could.
[18:32] Sugimoto
    It's simple to resolve things by
    slaughtering each other in a war.
[18:39] Sugimoto
    The path that Asirpa-san is trying to
    choose is far, far more difficult.
[18:46] Sugimoto
    Asirpa-san...
[18:48] Sugimoto
    What did you say to Kiroranke then?
[18:54] Sugimoto
    You figured out how to
    solve the code, didn't you?
[19:00] Asirpa
    Yeah.
[19:02] Sugimoto
    Really?
[19:04] Sugimoto
    What was it?
[19:07] Asirpa
    It was...
[19:11] Sugimoto
    No. For now, I'll leave it to you.
[19:15] Sugimoto
    Tell me when the time comes.
[19:18] Asirpa
    That's right.
[19:20] Asirpa
    Now's not the time to say it.
[19:22] Asirpa
    Sugimoto is such a kind man.
[19:25] Asirpa
    If he knew how to solve the code, he'd leave
    me behind again and go to find it.
[19:32] Asirpa
    He'd fight alone and suffer
    until his soul left his body.
[19:37] Asirpa
    Not telling him the code
    will keep him with me.
[19:42] Asirpa
    I'm the only one who can protect him
    from the people who would hurt him.
[19:46] Asirpa
    I'll be a powerful shield for him.
[19:49] Asirpa
    And when the time comes...
[19:51] Asirpa
    Yes, if I have a good reason...
[19:53] Asirpa
    I'm ready to go to hell with him.
[20:02] Shiraishi
    What is it?
[20:10] Child
    Over there.
[20:17] Tsukishima
    Who took off his uniform?
[20:18] Child B
    Um, it was a guy.
[20:23] (Flashback) Ogata
    Where was the ferry?
[20:27] (Flashback) Child B
    Over there?
[20:29] (Flashback) Ogata
    He's good.
[20:32] (Flashback) Child B
    Why are you taking off his clothes?
[20:34] (Flashback) Ogata
    He won't need them anymore, right?
[20:38] (Flashback) Ogata
    And I know this gun... wants to
    shoot people until it breaks.
[20:46] Tsukishima
    Clothes, shoes, belongings...
[20:49] Tsukishima
    Maybe a meko oyasi ate them all?
[20:58] Asirpa
    Everybody, we're back to Hokkaido!
SIGN    A Few Days Later
[22:45] Koito
    I'm so pathetic...
[22:51] Admiral Koito
    At least you're alive.
[22:58] Ogata
    I was wounded in the battle of Karafuto
    during the Russo-Japanese War.
[23:02] Ogata
    I only learned to walk again recently.
[23:05] Ogata
    I want to return to Hokkaido,
    where my aging parents await...
[23:10] Ogata
    But I have no money.
[23:13] Ogata
    I can offer you this, instead.
[23:16] Ogata
    It's dried cod.
[23:20] Captain
    Get aboard.
