Discharge
**[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!
**[03:21] Captain**
Yah!
***SIGN*** Kawakamimaru
**[03:46] Botaro**
Gondo!
**[04:25] Sugimoto**
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!
***SIGN*** Kawakamimaru
**[05:54] Asirpa**
Sugimoto!
**[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!
**[11:28] Sugimoto**
Hinna, hinna, hinna!
**[11:30] Botaro**
What are you doing?

**[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.
**[18:42] Kantarou**
Papers! Get your newspapers here!
**[18:45] Hijikata**
Goldfish! Goldfish!
**[18:48] Woman**
When the goldfish seller comes to town,
it feels like spring's really here.
**[18:55] Hijikata**
Goldfish!
**[18:57] Kirawus**
Fireworks! Fireworks!
**[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**
The one about the kids who keep
disappearing from different locations.
**[22:20] Shiraishi**
The most recent is three missing in Ebetsu.
**[22:23] Asirpa**
We were just there!
**[22:25] Botaro**
A child kidnapper? It might be him.
**[22:28] Sugimoto**
You know who it is?
**[22:30] Botaro**
His name is Ueji Keiji.
**[22:32] Botaro**
He's a murderer who buried
many kids in his yard.
**[22:35] Botaro**
A weird guy with tattoos that looked
like a child's scribbles on his face.
**[22:39] Asirpa**
The candy peddler!
**[22:43] Botaro**
Ueji Keiji is, of course,
one of the tattooed prisoners.
**[22:49] Takuboku**
There's been a lot of children
going missing from Hokkaido lately.
**[22:54] Takuboku**
It's happened recently in Asahikawa,
Utashinai, Iwamizawa...
