Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Trickster Fox - full transcript

It hurts so much!

Your tears are proof that you
lack the resolve for this.

Listen carefully, young ones.

If you see an old man in times like these,

assume he's a survivor!

Barato

Yamamoto Barbershop

Sheesh...

The inn town of Barato used
to be run by the Hidoro clan,

but now one of their own,
a man named Kusuda Umakichi,

built another gambling hall nearby.



Ever since then, they've been
killing each other.

You're a bodyguard, too, right?

I can tell by looking at your face.

Who are you going to join?

I don't know.

By the way, you seen any men
with strange-looking tattoos?

Tattoos?

Yakuza tattoos, sure.

Not like those.

(Golden Kamuy)

(Sapporo)

Here you go.

A copy of Henmi Kazuo's tattoo.

(Episode Twelve Trickster Fox)
How'd a screw-up like you



manage to get a copy made without
tipping off a guy like Sugimoto?

Don't play dumb.

Come with me.

Ienaga!

He's alive?

Is it okay to let a doctor see him?

They didn't see the tattoos.

We're just borrowing the room.

Is there any reason to
let a guy like this live?

Don't tell me you're in love!

Shut up.

I heard something interesting from him.

Ienaga, tell him.

The fire department and the police
didn't find any casualties.

The bodies in the basement seem
to have been buried in the rubble.

If those two's bodies are in here,
they might be down there.

Shiraishi said that Ienaga and Ushiyama

were on the second floor until
just before the explosion.

I can't see them being
buried in the basement.

It's possible the two of them got out okay.

Get rid of that fish cake.

That Shiraishi blew up the
explosives we just bought.

Where'd he go?

Susukino, probably.

That pervert.

I'm right here!

We'll need money to buy more explosives.

What's the plan?

There's a kotan in Naganuma, near here.

I have relatives there.

We can hunt there to make money.

Naganuma

Look, Sugimoto. We caught one.

You're right.

It's a cironnup.

A northern fox.

We hit it with a stick to finish it.

Please do it in one hit.

For this trap, you pound four-inch
nails into an old oil bucket.

When the fox sticks its head in to lick
the oil, it gets caught and can't get out.

There's a legend that when it gets
warm and the red-pelt foxes come out,

they do bad things to humans.

So we call them ikkakar
cironnup, "trickster foxes."

You can sell a fox pelt for one yen.

River otters sell for about the same.

Bear belts go for 5 yen this year.

Ezo squirrels are cheaper, around 20 sen.

One fox is 6 big bottles of sake, huh?

If you hadn't wasted those explosives,
right now we'd be...

You piss me off.

Sugimoto, there's also the
fact that in Sapporo, he...

Kiro-chan, don't tell him that!

He borrowed money from Asirpa
and lost it all at the races.

You told him!

Go, go!

No! No!

Oh, no...

You used that money for gambling?

Lick the bottom of this bucket.

No!

We'll have to stay here for a while.

This is Huci's little brother,
one of six siblings.

He's letting us stay in his cise here today.

I've been meeting some
surprising folks lately!

A strange woman came here
a while ago and is staying.

She says she can see the past and future,

and she's driving everyone
in the village crazy.

There she is.

Her name is Inkarmat.

Look at our wonderful Nispa guests.

Shiraishi Yoshitake!
I'm single, no girlfriend!

Oh, my! Your head is bleeding!

I was forced to wear a bucket
with nails on my head!

I have a weakness for men with scars.

You're quite the looker, too, soldier.

Thanks...

Sugimoto puts poop in his food and eats it.

Oh, isn't it stinky?

Asirpa, you just said the words "Sugimoto,"
"ohau," and "osoma," didn't you?

You told her I eat poop again, didn't you?

Did not.

Wait a second...

You came from Otaru, didn't you?

How did you know?

She probably heard that my great uncle
had a lot of relatives in Otaru.

I see.

I can see it...

You're looking for someone or something...

No way! Wow!

You're right!

I'm a fortune-teller.

The Ainu call it "niuok."

When they're uncertain what to do on
any matter, no matter how big or small,

they rely on fortune-telling.

And they obey the result,
regardless of what it is,

as the will of the gods.

Sirakki Kamuy.

A fox skull used in fortune-telling.

It's been passed down in
my family for generations,

and it's the skull of a white fox,
the kind with the most spiritual power.

First, you put the lower jaw on your head,

and then slowly drop it.

You look at the way it fell
to determine your fortune.

The teeth facing up are a good omen.

I shall tell your fortune and see if
you'll find what you're looking for.

The teeth are facing downwards.

There is no hope for you.

I feel an ominous sign.

You should cancel your plans.

Seriously?

She's just coming up with guesses
that could apply to anything.

I don't believe in fortune-telling.

I'm a new kind of Ainu woman.

I see.

It's simply a fortune, not an order.

By the way, is it your father
that you're looking for?

It's just a guess, so don't let it worry you.

That ikkakar cironnup...

Her fortune-telling is strangely accurate,

and the villagers have gone
crazy offering her gifts.

She's probably going to a lot of
different villages and doing this.

I knew it. Shiraishi's missing.

Sheesh.

I found him. I know where he is.

Where is he?

Naganuma Racetrack

Inkarmat-chan, make me filthy rich!

Sounds fun! I'm in!

Now, let's pick our horses!

That's your cue, Inkarmat-chan!

How about that one?

There we go.

That's the horse.

The Sirakki Kamuy says #4.

Really?

You're sure?

My Sirakki Kamuy never lies.

I've got just the thing
for you, Shiraishi-san.

This is a talisman called an ekaeka.

If you wrap it around your wrist,
it will protect you from disaster.

Thank you, Inkarmat-chan!

It's twenty sen!

Okay, I'm counting on you!

If I lose here, I'm flat broke!

Number 4! Number 4!

Go! Go!

Looking good! There it goes!

Just like that-

I won...

I really won!

Wow, Inkarmat-chan!

Okay, help me with the next race!

I've got just the thing
for you, Shiraishi-san.

This is an ikema root.

It smells terrible, so it will keep evil away.

How much?

Seventy sen!

Gimme!

The next horse to win will be #2!

Okay, I'm counting on you!

Come on, #2!

There they are.

The red fox and the Scat King.

Hey, Shiraishi!

Oh, I thought I smelled
poor people. It's you guys, huh?

Shiraishi, you owe Asirpa-san money,
and you're still coming to the racetrack?

That's pretty damn brave, if you ask me.

Owe her money?

How much was it?

Two yen? Three yen?

Here, pick it up.

What's he-

Wake up, Shiraishi!

If you try to use fortune-telling
to gamble, you'll end up regretting it!

Don't let this fox woman fool you!

Who are you calling a fox, you rude girl?!

Call her Inkarmat-sama!

Your breath stinks.

The two most likely to win next are #3 and #4.

You can tell fortunes, too, Kiroranke?

I grew up riding horses.

I know so much about them that
during the Russo-Japanese War,

they had me take care of the
combat engineer's horses.

The fox skull says #3 will win next, yes.

Number 3, right?! Off to go win, then!

Wait, you idiot!

(Golden Kamuy)

There you are, Takasaki!

I've been looking for you!

What?

Hey, that doesn't look
anything like him, idiot!

Takasaki doesn't have a beard like this!

And he doesn't dress like an Ainu, either!

Something wrong?

The jockey who owns that cap ran.

Can you ride a horse?

The horse's owner told his
jockey to cheat, so he ran.

The owner is a yakuza boss,

and he's planning to make
an unpopular horse win.

If we fail, they'll make us pay for it.

We'll give him a lot of
water before the race.

That'll make him a lot slower.

You can just ride it normally.

You want to win, don't you?

Hey, hold it down!

What are they doing?

That's the horse that's going to win.

They mix powdered viper into the water,

then jam a rubber hose up
its nose and pour it in.

Sometimes they put it down the
trachea and kill it, though.

Hey.

Who's there?

Is that...

Bet on me.

His beard...

What's going on?

I'll give you the details later.

I'll be riding horse #3 in the last race.

I'm going to win.

Inkarmat-sama, please tell me the future!

Give me guidance for I am a lost!

Very well...

The Sirakki Kamuy says that #3 can't win.

Shiraishi, that's enough.

Fortune-telling is what you need
when you're not sure what to do.

I have no uncertainty on this journey.

So I don't need fortune-telling.

The Sirakki Kamuy says that #6 will win.

Number 6, right?

I'll bet everything I have!

Shiraishi, you fool!

Leave enough to buy explosives!

No, I'm going to bet it all!

Inkarmat-sama, go buy the ticket for me!

Okay!

Wait!

You came to Hokkaido because
you needed money, right?

How much do you need?

You don't need 20,000 kan
worth of gold, right?

Fox woman!

Did you come to stop me?

I already bought it.

All the money he has on #6.

But wouldn't it be better for you if he lost?

If those men make a fortune here,

will they still help you?

There's a way to make money

right in front of you that doesn't
involve risking your life!

"I have the money I need, so I'm out."

Do you think I could say that to her?

Your eyes...

They have a pretty color,
just like your father's.

We'll meet again, Asirpa-chan.

What's this horse's name?

Reppuu.

Listen.

It's #6 that has to win.

If we don't get #6 to win, we'll be killed!

Make sure Reppuu drinks all this water.

Let's go, Reppuu.

I'm counting on you, #6!

If you lose, I'll dine on horse stew tonight!

Go, #6!

Kiroranke was slow out of the gate!

Told you.

Out of my way!

Go, Reppuu!

Run as hard as you can!

Look!

How is #3's jockey doing that?

This one ticket is for #3.

Go, Reppuu! Go, go!

What is he doing?

Stop! Stop!

No!
Go, Kiroranke!

Go!

Let's get out of here.

The yakuza boss lost some serious money,
so he'll be looking for me.

Where's Shiraishi?

Over there. Broken.

Let's leave him.

He'll follow us.

I did it! I'm rich!

I was tricked by a fox.

Is this what you're looking for?

What are you after?

I followed you here because I happened
to hear rumors about the tattoos.

But when I saw you at
the barber, I knew it was you.

I worked for Lt. Tsurumi, so I know you well.

Do you need a good bodyguard,
Hijikata Toshizou-san?

Hey!

Did you wake up from your dream, Scat King?

Yeah, I guess I had a bad dream.

Gambling is wrong, huh?

I've learned my lesson.

You haven't learned your
lesson at all, have you?

Get to work getting ready.

Abashiri's a long ways away.

But first...

Interested in some special information?

It had better not be as
horrible as it usually is.

Well, hear me out.

I heard this from a cutie in Susukino.

A month ago, a man came to my hotel, alone.

He was a thief,

but when he snuck into a certain house,
he saw something strange.

There were taxidermied human
mounts made from corpses.

And he saw a skin with a strange
tattoo that wasn't a yakuza's.

And that house is in Yuubari, she says.

We don't know for sure that the
Abashiri plan will work, right?

If we happen to get information on
the prisoners or tattoos on our way,

I think it's worth checking out.

Yuubari, huh?

We have five tattoo code skins.

Lt. Tsurumi has at least one...

Have they gotten any more?

Yuubari

Sergeant Tsukishima,

keep your eyes on that grave.

It was dug just after the accident
in the coal mines yesterday.

Yes.

Do you think they'll take the bait?

Word of a coal mine accident will
spread through Yuubari quickly.

I'm sure the grave robber will hear it, too.

What's wrong, Nikaidou?

Youhei's ears look just like yours.

Can I have just your left ear?

I feel bad for him, 'cause he's missing one.

Sure, sure. Once I'm dead, you can have it.

Lt. Tsurumi!

Really, Lt. Tsurumi?

Follow him.

Don't kill him, Nikaidou!

He dropped this.

Let's bring it to him.
