[01:48] Shiraishi
    From the way Botaro the Pirate was talking,
[01:50] Shiraishi
    he may already know where
    the Ainu first hid the gold.
[01:55] Sugimoto
    But he also said that's not
    enough to find it on its own.
[02:00] Shiraishi
    What do you think about the rumors
    that the tattooed skins are worthless?
[02:06] Sugimoto
    I think we should ignore it and
    keep looking for the skins.
[02:12] Shiraishi
    Well, for now, let's pretend to work
    with him and get information, okay?
[02:25] Botaro
    We're at our last stop, Ebetsu Port.
[02:28] Botaro
    I suppose being one of my
    citizens isn't enough for you.
[02:35] Botaro
    How much gold did you hear about being there?
[02:39] Botaro
    Twenty kan, right?
[02:40] Botaro
    They filled deerskin bags about this
    big until they were overstuffed,
[02:42] Botaro
    according to what the old Ainu men said.
[02:46] Botaro
    One bag was about 16 kan,
[02:48] Botaro
    and there were over 1,200 of them.
[02:50] Botaro
    A whole mountain of the stuff.
[03:01] Botaro
    Well?
[03:02] Botaro
    Quite a story, right?
[03:04] Botaro
    I'm sorry we won't be able
    to chase the dream together.
[03:14] Asirpa
    He saw inside our backpack!

    Yah!
SIGN    Kawakamimaru
[03:46] Botaro
    Gondo!

    Let me go!
SIGN    Kawakamimaru
[04:44] Shiraishi
    Asirpa-chan, can you swim?
[04:46] Asirpa
    If it's not too deep!
[04:47] Shiraishi
    Then stay there!
[05:29] Asirpa
    Pisikorkamuychep!
[05:31] Asirpa
    Those are yupe!

[06:06] Narr
    At the time, it was said sturgeons
[06:08] Narr
    would travel upriver in the
    Ishikari River in huge schools.
[06:11] Narr
    One theory says that the name "Ebetsu"
    came from the Ainu words "yupe ot,"
[06:15] Narr
    or "there are many sturgeons."
[06:21] Captain
    The paddle wheel's damaged. I can't dock.
[06:24] Captain
    I can't even move until another
    ship with a paddle wheel arrives.
[06:27] Shiraishi
    Sorry, Captain.
[06:32] Captain
    My ship's a mess thanks to you assholes.
[06:35] Captain
    Get lost!
[06:37] Asirpa
    Sugimoto, the platinum that Heita had...
[06:40] Sugimoto
    Yeah, you're right.
[06:42] Sugimoto
    Now...
[06:45] Sugimoto
    We're going to work together
    with Botaro the Pirate.
[06:48] Botaro
    You saved me because you wanted
    the information I have?
[06:51] Botaro
    You heard what Boss Wakayama
    said and changed your plans?
[06:55] Sugimoto
    No, we're still going
    to search for the skins.
[06:59] Botaro
    So you want me to help find the prisoners?
[07:02] Botaro
    I told you, I don't expect the
    code to ever be cracked.
[07:06] Sugimoto
    What that yakuza boss told you...
     It makes sense.
[07:10] Sugimoto
    But right now there are two main groups
    that have the vast majority of the skins.
[07:16] Sugimoto
    Hijikata Toshizou and Lieutenant Tsurumi...
[07:18] Sugimoto
    We can't ignore the fact that
[07:20] Sugimoto
    two people as intelligent and cunning
    as them are still looking for the skins.
[07:25] Shiraishi
    Good point!
[07:26] Botaro
    So you just want somebody else around
    who can help you steal the skins?
[07:32] Shiraishi
    Sugimoto, don't tell me you felt
    sympathy for Botaro, right?
[07:40] Sugimoto
    My intuition tells me that if he has
    found the region where the gold's hidden,
[07:47] Sugimoto
    that may be the one way to turn the tables
    on Hijikata Toshizou and Lieutenant Tsurumi.
[07:54] Sugimoto
    One option would be to torture him
    into telling us what we want to know.
[07:57] Sugimoto
    But any information we gained
    that way wouldn't be trustworthy.
[08:01] Sugimoto
    Which means we have no choice
    but to work together.
[08:04] Botaro
    I see.
[08:07] Botaro
    But you actually saved me 'cause you've
    taken a liking to me, right, Sugimoto?
[08:16] Botaro
    Fine.
[08:18] Botaro
    I'll give you the information
    I've got once you have the skins.
[08:22] Botaro
    For my own protection.
[08:27] Shiraishi
    I hope you don't regret this, Sugimoto.
[08:30] Shiraishi
    He might try to take all
    the gold when we find it.
[08:33] Asirpa
    Are you talking about yourself?
[08:37] Shiraishi
    Oh, Mister Hood came down the river!
[08:46] Asirpa
    We'll go down the river a little
    more before heading to Sapporo.
[08:50] Sugimoto
    Asirpa-san, what are you doing?
[08:53] Sugimoto
    That.
[08:53] Asirpa
    Oh, I'm adding a "kite" to
    a rod I found on the ship.
[08:57] Asirpa
    We always just carry the tip
    and use a stick we find nearby.
[09:02] Sugimoto
    The one you used for the whale?
[09:04] Asirpa
    Yes.
[09:04] Asirpa
    I'm surprised you remembered.
[09:06] Sugimoto
    You're gonna hunt sturgeons?
[09:08] Asirpa
    Well, Sugimoto, you want to eat
    a seasonal delicacy, right?
[09:11] Sugimoto
    Well... yes.
[09:14] Botaro
    What's your relationship with this girl?
[09:16] Asirpa
    She's my guide. For Hokkaido.
[09:20] Botaro
    But you got really mad back there!
[09:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    That put Asirpa-san in danger, shithead!
[09:26] Botaro
    I thought she was somebody
    who meant a lot to you.
[09:36] Sugimoto
    Look at all these fish eggs!
[09:38] Sugimoto
    We ate them pickled in salt
    when we were in Russia.
[09:41] Sugimoto
    They're all stuffed into its belly like this?
[09:43] Asirpa
    You usually eat the meat of a yupe raw.
[09:46] Asirpa
    Sometimes you'll make a stew with
    these black eggs and its other parts.
[09:51] Asirpa
    Of course, you eat the brains, too!
[09:53] Asirpa
    I'd love to feed them to you now, but the
    skull's really hard, so give me a minute.
[09:57] Asirpa
    Sorry, Sugimoto! I'm sorry!
[10:00] Asirpa
    I'll feed you really soon, okay?
[10:00] Sugimoto
    Aw, hurry up, okay?
[10:10] Botaro
    Asirpa-chan, do you like sturgeon brains?
[10:14] Asirpa
    I like all types of animal brains.
[10:16] Asirpa
    They taste good salted.
[10:19] Botaro
    When you like someone, you want them
    to like the things you like, right?
[10:24] Asirpa
    You talk too much.
[10:26] Asirpa
    Eat some black fish eggs and shut up.
[10:30] Botaro
    Do you have a family, Asirpa-chan?
[10:32] Asirpa
    I have Huci... my grandmother.
[10:34] Botaro
    Just your grandmother?
[10:36] Botaro
    It feels like you've been traveling
    with the three of them for a long time.
[10:40] Botaro
    You don't think she's worried
    about her granddaughter?
[10:43] Botaro
    It'll be dangerous to stay with us.
     Why don't you go home?
[10:53] Botaro
    You want to stay with them no matter what?
[10:55] Sugimoto
    It tastes so much better fresh than salted!
[10:59] Sugimoto
    Sturgeon eggs go really well with vodka...
[11:02] Shiraishi
    It washes away that fishy aftertaste.
[11:06] Asirpa
    I'm not here because I want to be with them.
[11:11] Asirpa
    That's not why.
[11:13] Asirpa
    I've got something I have to do.
    So I don't care about anything else.
[11:19] Asirpa
    This is an ohaw made from black
    eggs and pisikorkamuychep filet.
[11:23] Asirpa
    Here you go, Sugimoto! The brains!

[12:13] Kikuta
    Private Usami,
[12:15] Kikuta
    your theory that the killer will return to
    the scene of the crime sounds plausible.
[12:19] Kikuta
    But are you planning on
    waiting for him all day
[12:22] Kikuta
    when we have no idea when he'll come back?
[12:25] Kikuta
    There are two murder sites.
[12:27] Kikuta
    Wouldn't we be better off asking the whores?
[12:30] Usami
    Fapfapfapfapfapfap!
[12:32] Kikuta
    Usami?!
[12:34] Usami
    No, it's not here.
[12:36] Usami
    Here?
[12:37] Usami
    No, closer to here?
[12:39] Kikuta
    Hey!
[12:40] Usami
    Be quiet!
[12:42] Usami
    Don't talk to me right now!
[12:44] Usami
    Here!
[12:46] Usami
    This position, facing this way,
    is where I feel most calm.
[12:48] Usami
    It feels right.
[12:49] Usami
    Nobody could see me from
    the surrounding buildings,
[12:51] Usami
    and it's hidden from the road!
[12:54] Usami
    I can run away and be sure
    that nobody will see my face!
[13:02] Usami
    Neigh-hay!
[13:06] Kikuta
    Neigh-hay?
[13:08] Usami
    Where? Where did it fall?
[13:11] Kikuta
    Usami, your clothes will get dirty.
[13:18] Usami
    Found it.
[13:19] Usami
    I found it, Warrant Officer Kikuta.
[13:22] Usami
    This way.
[13:24] Kikuta
    What? I don't want to look at your sperm.
[13:26] Kikuta
    Talk about gross.
[13:27] Usami
    No, it's the killer's.
[13:29] Usami
    The killer did come back.
[13:32] Usami
    And he was masturbating, too!
[13:35] Usami
    From the state of these clumps...
[13:36] Kikuta
    Don't touch it! You'll get a disease, Usami!
[13:41] Usami
    He comes once every two days.
[13:43] Usami
    And the last time he came was two days ago.
[13:47] Usami
    He'll arrive tonight.
[13:49] Kikuta
    I can't believe what I'm seeing.
[13:51] Kikuta
    You're a sperm detective.
[13:54] Kikuta
    What Lieutenant Tsurumi said...
[13:56] Tsurumi
    I'm sure Usami will be useful in Sapporo.
[14:00] Kikuta
    Is this what he meant?
[14:02] Usami
    I'll try again.
[14:04] Usami
    This time, I might be able
    to figure out their age
[14:06] Usami
    and how tall they are from
    the distance and height!
[14:10] Kikuta
    I didn't know you had a
    special power like that...
[14:14] Figure
    Fapfapfapfapfapfap...
[14:17] Usami
    Fapfapfapfapfapfap...
[14:25] Kikuta
    What the hell?
[14:26] Usami
    This is the killer!
[14:38] Kikuta
    What the hell is this?!
[14:45] Kikuta
    Usami, you go that way!
[15:20] Kikuta
    Gotcha!
[15:22] Gentleman
    Fapfapfapfapfapfap...
[15:32] Usami
    Are you okay, Warrant Officer Kikuta?
[15:36] Kikuta
    It got in my eyes!
[15:54] Kikuta
    Did he do that?
[15:56] Kikuta
    While running from us?
[16:00] (Flashback) Gentleman
    Good evening, good evening...
[16:04] (Flashback) Prostitute B
    Where are you heading in
    such a hurry, Mister Foreigner?
[16:20] Gentleman
    I forgive your sins.
[16:23] Gentleman
    Excellent... Excellent...
[16:33] Kikuta
    He killed two in a night.
[16:36] Kikuta
    Maybe it was his way of covering his escape.
[16:38] Kikuta
    Or maybe he was just trying to screw with us.
[16:41] Usami
    It's possible that we had
    nothing to do with it.
[16:43] Usami
    He'd already decided to kill.
[16:46] Kikuta
    Will he come back?
[16:49] Kikuta
    It'll be hard for the two of us to do
    a stakeout when there are four places.
[16:53] Usami
    And he might make more holy places for himself.
[16:56] Kikuta
    Holy places?
[16:58] Kikuta
    We let the bastard get away, but I did
     get a good look at his face.
[17:03] Kikuta
    And the mark on his dick.
[17:07] Usami
    Let's go see the other body.
[17:10] Usami
    There's a big crowd gathered around it.
[17:12] Usami
    There might be somebody we saw yesterday.
[17:14] Kikuta
    Go on ahead.
[17:15] Kikuta
    I need to take a piss.
[17:22] Kikuta
    Private Ariko Rikimatsu.
[17:28] Kikuta
    Don't turn around.
[17:32] Kikuta
    Did you think I wouldn't recognize your
    figure after I've seen it a billion times?
[17:36] Kikuta
    Lieutenant Tsurumi didn't say anything
    about you being in Sapporo.
[17:40] Kikuta
    You with Hijikata Toshizou?
[17:42] Ariko
    I've had somebody around me at all times.
[17:45] Ariko
    That's why I haven't been able
    to report to Lieutenant Tsurumi.
[17:48] Ariko
    We can't let anyone see us like this.
[17:51] Ariko
    I was just with Nagakura Shinpachi.
[17:54] Ariko
    Hijikata Toshizou's men suspect me.
[17:57] Ariko
    And Lieutenant Tsurumi, too...
[17:59] Ariko
    Nobody trusts me.
[18:02] Kikuta
    Then work for me.
[18:06] Kikuta
    Listen carefully to me, Ariko.
[18:08] Kikuta
    I'm the only one who believes you.
[18:10] Kikuta
    Forget what your Ainu dad wanted.
[18:13] Kikuta
    Forget about your relations
    that Lieutenant Tsurumi threatened.
[18:17] Kikuta
    Following either one of them will
    only lead you to destruction.
[18:20] Kikuta
    The government told me to have Lieutenant
    Tsurumi find the gold, and then kill him.
[18:26] Ariko
    You're a spy for the government?
[18:36] Gentleman
    I am your child.

[19:09] Kantarou
    You make a particularly scary komusou monk,
    Ushiyama-san. You're hard to miss.
[19:13] Ushiyama
    I can't hide my muscles.
[19:17] Kadokura
    Yeah, it's not good to disguise
    yourself as something that stands out.
[19:20] Ushiyama
    What the hell are you
    supposed to be, Kadokura?
[19:32] Kirawus
    Yeah, you do stand out a little too much.
[19:36] Nagakura
    It seems there's been a new
    development in the case.
[19:39] Takuboku
    The bastard sent a letter to the papers.
[19:43] Takuboku
    Inside was a human kidney.
[19:46] Takuboku
    The fourth victim had their right kidney taken.
[19:50] Kantarou
    What a lunatic.
[19:52] Takuboku
    There was a letter attached
    which was barely legible.
[19:59] Takuboku
    It read "whores are sinners"
    in a terrible scrawl,
[20:02] Takuboku
    and swore that "I will kill again."
[20:05] Takuboku
    And that's when I realized...
[20:08] Takuboku
    This is a copycat of Jack the Ripper.
[20:11] Kadokura
    Who?
[20:12] Takuboku
    Jack the Ripper is said to be
[20:13] Takuboku
    the man behind a series of famous
    serial killings in London.
[20:19] Takuboku
    It had all of England in an uproar.
[20:23] Takuboku
    In 1888, it was reported by several papers
    in Japan, too. It was quite the big story.
[20:30] Takuboku
    The way those prostitutes died...
    Even the stolen organ, it's all the same.
[20:37] Takuboku
    And that's not all.
[20:39] Takuboku
    The other thing that made it
    such a huge deal in England
[20:42] [Messenger] TEXT
    Hokkai Times
[20:43] Takuboku
    was that the killer sent
    a letter to the papers
[20:45] Takuboku
    mocking the police and
    saying he would kill again.
[20:49] Takuboku
    This was a totally new thing at the time.
[20:52] Takuboku
    There were also hundreds of similar letters
    sent by copycats with no creativity.
[20:57] Takuboku
    There were a number of prostitutes
    murdered around the same time,
[21:01] Takuboku
    but only five were recognized
    as Jack's handiwork.
[21:05] Takuboku
    He started killing women at intervals around
    one month apart after the first victim.
[21:09] Takuboku
    The third and fourth were
    both slain the same night.
[21:13] Takuboku
    The Sapporo murders follow
    this pattern exactly.
[21:18] Takuboku
    He's probably not a copycat, but some
    kind of Jack the Ripper fanatic.
[21:23] Takuboku
    The other thing that made the
    Jack the Ripper case famous
[21:26] Takuboku
    was that the killer just disappeared.
[21:31] Takuboku
    The last murder was performed
    40 days after the fourth.
[21:35] Takuboku
    It's said the fifth murder is the last.
[21:39] Hijikata
    So there's a chance the killer will simply
    disappear if we can't find him in 40 days?
[21:47] Takuboku
    We have to find him and make him pay!
[21:50] Ushiyama
    I guess even the famous
    Ishikawa Takuboku is mad, huh?
[21:53] Takuboku
    My favorite prostitute got
     scared and fled to Tokyo!
[21:57] Takuboku
    Catch him as soon as you can!
[21:59] Takuboku
    I want to bring her back to Sapporo!
[22:02] Nagakura
    You're a piece of shit.
[22:05] Takuboku
    There's also another incident
    that interests me...
[22:09] Shiraishi
    Hey, Sugimoto, you see this article?
[22:12] Sugimoto
    The one about another prostitute
    being killed in Sapporo?
[22:15] Shiraishi
    No, not that one.
[22:17] Shiraishi

    disappearing from different locations.
[22:20] Shiraishi
    The most recent is three missing in Ebetsu.

[22:28] Sugimoto
    You know who it is?

    His name is Ueji Keiji.

    He's a murderer who buried
