Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Manslayer - full transcript
Hijikata and his group track down another tattoo belonging to Yoichiro the Manslayer, a manslayer from the end of the shogunate era.
(Abashiri)
The history of codebreaking
has also been the history of codebreakers
being sent to mental hospitals.
The obsessive desire to break codes makes
them unable to function in daily life.
So I decided that
until we had a certain amount of
the skins, we shouldn't even start.
But with this many...
Shall we kidnap someone from the army?
No,
it's hard to believe he'd
use the kind of complex code
that would require a
professional cryptographer.
He's made it something that his
daughter Asirpa can decrypt, I'm sure.
Hey, Sugimoto.
How do you read this?
"U."
Like in "ukai," to go around.
I'll draw it out for you.
Dad told me to go to school
and study, you know.
Our race doesn't have a written language.
We can get by fine without letters.
You think so, too, right, Sugimoto?
What's wrong, Sugimoto?
You keep staring at that
tracing of Gansoku's tattoo.
Did you notice something?
Sugimoto couldn't crack the code.
He's a moron.
There's something I noticed.
But I won't tell you.
(Golden Kamuy)
Kushiro
Wow!
I can carry even more!
You're so strong!
I'll carry you, too!
Ladies, I want you to tell me what this is.
What is this?
Do you know?
Some kind of claw? Or part of a plant?
This was in the hidden
room in Abashiri Prison.
According to Inudou Shirosuke's information,
one of the tattooed prisoners,
Doi Shinzou, had it on him.
Doi Shinzou was captured on the coast of
Kushiro eight years ago, and imprisoned.
I thought this might lead us to him.
You, Ainu yanshuu.
We're looking for a place to stay.
Any ideas?
Follow me.
Do you eat shishamo smelt?
They swarm the coasts of
Kushiro this time of year.
We Kushiro Ainu don't fish for them normally,
but my kotan is starving now.
It's good.
Indeed.
By the way, do you know what this is?
It's from an etupirka.
What?
A seabird whose name means
"beautiful beak" in Ainu.
This is the beak.
It's a marker to attract the opposite sex.
After their breeding
season ends, it falls off.
You know a lot about it.
Japanese don't hunt etupirka.
(Abashiri Kushiro Nemuro)
Shishamo can only be caught on
the Pacific side of Hokkaido.
In the same way, etupirka can
only be found east of Kushiro,
in Nemuro.
Nemuro?
We may be getting closer to them.
You said your name was Kirawus, right?
Will you take us to the Nemuro Ainu?
We'll pay.
Sure.
The pay here ain't worth the work.
Make sure you're ready, Ushiyama.
He's even older than you, right?
He should be barely able to walk.
Do I still have to be careful?
Doi Shinzou is a fake name.
I met him many years ago, in Kyoto.
Youichirou the Manslayer.
A murderer who killed many important
people in the last days of the shogunate.

Episode Thirty-Two
Manslayer
Watch where you're going, old man!
You're young. Move out of the way.
What did you say?
You okay, old man?
Thanks...
It makes me sick, watching that man.
Why's he wearing Ainu clothes, anyway?
Ainu atsushi dry fast.
You didn't know that?
You want to fight? Do you?
Do you have a home or family?
What's your name?
I don't even remember...
Call off the job?
Why now?
Warden Inudou is dead.
Even if you kill Youichirou the Manslayer,
there'll be nobody to give him to.
We were hired by the families
of the people he killed
at the end of the shogunate.
We're not going home empty-handed
after coming all the way here.
Only you can ID his face.
You're sticking with us to the end.
You should hurry, then.
I'm not the only guard who's
been ordered to find him.
The families of the men he's
killed have sent other assassins.
This village leader knows the
Japanese man named Doi Shinzou well.
He says he lived in the kotan.
So Youichirou the Manslayer
went to Nemuro, then.
He came to this kotan 30 years
ago and married an Ainu woman.
He lived in peace in this village,
but eight years ago, a Japanese
man with a grudge against him
came and took his wife hostage.
He killed the man to get his wife
back and was sent to Abashiri Prison.
But when he found out his wife was sick and
had little time left to live, he escaped.
After he saw her breath her last,
he left this kotan,
and now works at a nearby fishery.
What's he even doing?
He doesn't work.
He wet his bed this morning.
Which means he doesn't have much time left.
My old man was the same. One day he
couldn't get out of bed, and then he died.
Hey, what are you doing, old man?
Give me a break. I can't have
you dying right in front of me.
Drowning's a horrible way
to die. I wouldn't do it.
Or did you go senile and
mistake the sea for a bath?
Before I no longer know
when it's time to die...
Five of these thugs surround me,
so I take the toughest-looking one
and split his head open with a rock!
Really?
Sorry, old man, but when you finish
your lunch, get your things together.
Is there anyone who can come get you?
We want you to leave
while you can still walk.
Well? Is he in here?
There! That old man!
Who are you?
Move!
You're Youichirou the Manslayer?
Manslayer?
That senile old man?
You're sure it's him?
He doesn't look like a manslayer to me.
He should have the tattoos from
Abashiri on his upper body!
Check.
Right.
No way!
Do you remember when you
killed Ikeda Magoshichiro?
This is vengeance for my father.
Apologize in hell.
Get in line.
Lots of people want to kill
Youichirou the Manslayer.
I'm at the head of the line.
Vice Commander of the Shinsengumi,
Hijikata Toshizou.
(Golden Kamuy)
Gunfire!
Someone got there first.
Okay, head to the back.
So you're alone on patrol tonight?
Normally you're walking around
Kyoto with Okita and Kondou,
acting like you own the place.
That's Youichirou the Manslayer!
Divine punishment!
That's him!
What? He's...
Divine punishment!
Divine punishment!
That old man was strong as hell.
You wanna persuade him to join us?
No, he's already...
Sensei!
You said that loyalty to the emperor
would make Japan a good country,
without discrimination by rank!
And I believed in you and
did all your dirty work!
I did all this for you!
And you won't protect me?
You're just leaving me to die!
Traitor... Traitor!
I don't wanna commit seppuku.
I don't wanna die like this!
When you look back at history,
what Youichirou the Manslayer
believed in may have been right.
(Sincerity)
After the Meiji Restoration,
Japan modernized to allow it to resist
the European powers and America.
And as a result, we defeated
both China and Russia.
But winning the Russo-Japanese War didn't
stop Russia's sweep to the south.
Japan was no longer able to
continue the war any further,
so they were given no reparations,
and instead settled Karafuto.
The Meiji government is nearing its limits.
A new method is needed.
Hokkaido must become independent
to protect the north.
We must bring in immigrants from overseas
to make a multicultural nation.
Youichirou, I'm still fighting for Japan.
Hijikata Toshizou...
You were young because time had stopped.
I'm tired.
I've lived too long.
I took this back from Inudou Shirosuke.
I'm told the bird it's from can
only be found in this area.
My wife gave it to me so
I wouldn't forget Nemuro.
I'll put an end to your suffering now.
No, just let me be.
I'm not worthy of an easy death.
I killed so many in the name
of Japan and its emperor.
I was a tool of the Imperial loyalists.
I'm told "Ainu" means "human."
I came to this land, and lived as a human.
It's not fair that I'm
the only one who could.
I don't regret my fate,
that I failed to die at Hakodate.
I lived on because I have a job to do.
I can still run.
Isn't that right, Gamushin?
You got it! Great job, Ogata!
I've never seen a pure white humpe.
In Karafuto, they call them monihumpe.
Whale, huh?
Khorosho!
It's best with miso, but I'm sure
you can't get any in Russia.
Shiraishi...
Huh? Why do you have Sugimoto's miso?
I was just holding on to it.
Since he has so much stuff.
Whale soup made from white whale meat,
potatoes, Asirpa's dried Siberian onion
nirinsou, and the miso
she stole from Sugimoto.
It's good!
Japanese need miso!
That's the last of Sugimoto's osoma.
Just get some more when we're back in Japan?
It has to be Sugimoto's osoma!
You'll get to eat it again
eventually, Asirpa-chan.
Hinna, hinna.
Hinna.
Hinna.
Ogata, did you just say "hinna"?
Can you say it again?
Come on!
You said it, right? You said it, right, Ogata?
So Kiro-chan, how long
are we staying in Ako?
A little longer.
We're not just going to have an interview
with this prisoner in Ako Prison, right?
If we help Sofia escape,
the guards will follow.
Yup.
So we'll help all 250 prisoners
in the prison escape.
If they all run, the guards won't
be able to focus on Sofia.
How are we getting 250 people out of there?
By destroying the walls at multiple points.
And where are we going to get the bombs?
If we do it here, they'll be able to track us.
There.
That building...
A lighthouse.
It's been supplied with explosives,
in case Japan attacks again.
All that's left to do is wait.
When they come,
we'll have everything we need.
