Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Grim Reaper - full transcript
Sugimoto visits an Ainu village where he learns about their ways and culture. The next day he leaves in secret, where he is captured by the 7th and tortured.
This is a trap for catching
river fish called a rawomap.
Look at them all!
These are sculpin.
At this time of year, sculpin are
fatty and delicious.
I'm going to clean the ones that
we'll use for stew right here,
so help me.
Oh, no...
I forgot my dagger and bayonet.
If you don't gut a sculpin fast,
it doesn't taste as good.
Go get them fast, fool!
You're so mean!
It would be faster to go this way...
Stop.
Don't move.
You need something?
Don't touch the string near your feet.
It's a trap called an amappo.
If you touch the wire,
it fires a poison arrow.
Thanks.
You saved me.
You're Osoma-chan's...
Her father.
Asirpa is my older sister's daughter.
Asirpa is smart.
If she likes you, you must
not be a bad person.
I'm sorry about how I acted back there.
I thought there would be some who didn't
like me because I was Japanese.
Asirpa told you that the villagers were
gathering up gold to fight the Sisam, right?
And that it was stolen, and Asirpa's
aca and the others were killed.
Aca?
It means "father" in the language of the Ainu.
Our ancestors found that gold.
And some men took it to buy weapons.
Do you know who could've
stolen the gold nuggets?
No.
Everyone says it was the wrath of
Waka-ush Kamuy, the goddess of water.
The Ainu don't wash their clothes
in the rivers or defecate there.
They go to those lengths to
avoid defiling the rivers,
and yet we tried to pan for gold there...
For an Ainu to defile the rivers
in order to make war is blasphemy.
That gold is cursed. It's haunted by demons.
(Golden Kamuy)
(Episode Four Grim Reaper)
Look at this, Granny.
We caught all these sculpin!
Hinna, hinna.
What's she doing?
Offering it to her guardian spirit.
If someone gives you something,
offer it to your guardian spirit.
Your guardian spirit goes in and
out of the back of your neck.
It's called a turenpe, and everyone
gets one when they're born.
That's said to be the reason people have
different personalities and abilities.
Some people can see them.
Huci can, a little.
She says you have a very strong turenpe.
So maybe it's thanks to my guardian
spirit that people say I'm immortal.
Anyway, I've never seen you do that.
In this village, only the old people do it.
Kids these days...
It's ready.
I made the broth from the sculpin.
It's kinaohaw.
It looks good!
Let's eat!
Let's eat.
It's good!
It's got a rich, flavorful broth.
How many days has it been since I've
eaten so many root vegetables at once?
Sculpin stew is delicious...
Asirpa-san, it's really good,
but if you put miso in it, I bet
it would taste even better!
Shut up, Sugimoto.
Put the poop away.
Here you go, Granny.
This is miso.
Stop it!
You're making her offer
poop to her guardian spirit.
It's not poop.
Agh! What the hell is that?
A sutu.
A staff used to bring pain to the wicked.
Sugimoto!
W-Wait! Stop!
Have you put on some weight
over the past few days?
Remember what I told you?
Bears grow up fast.
Asirpa.
Do this.
You're the one who's scariest.
Okay.
What's that?
It's called a kisarari,
which means "long-eared monster."
You wave it in front of a window while
making horrible noises and scare the children.
Try it, Sugimoto.
Me?
Stop it, stop it!
Stop that, Sugimoto.
You're embarrassing me.
Give it to me.
I'll show you how it's done.
Asirpa really is the scariest...
Osoma peed her pants.
Asirpa-san, give me a
chance to regain my honor.
All right.
Show me what you can really do.
Well done, Osoma!
You could be a great hunter!
Can you hear it, Sugimoto-san?
That's a sound you don't hear often.
A howl that's lower and longer than a dog's.
A wolf.
I've seen a huge white wolf
save Asirpa-san twice.
What's its story?
I see.
So that howl was Retar?
Asirpa and her father found that
wolf when they were going hunting.
It looked like a little snowman,
so they named it Retar, which means "white."
They were always together.
Even after her father was killed,
Asirpa would go into the
mountains with Retar alone.
But the two of them lived
in different worlds.
Howling...
Is this your...?
No! Don't listen!
No, wait!
Get back to your shed!
Retar!
He couldn't be a pet dog.
Retar...
He was a proud Horkewkamuy.
Don't go, Retar!
Come back, Retar!
Are you going to leave me, too?
Don't go, Retar...
Aca!
She may seem grown-up,
but Asirpa is a lonely little girl.
After that, she stopped smiling.
But lately, she's been much happier.
She probably likes being
in the mountains with you.
Sugimoto-san.
Asirpa is my treasure.
Stay with her forever.
I understand.
You really love her, don't you?
So does the rest of the village.
Farewell.
(Golden Kamuy)
I'll never forgive Sugimoto!
For him to leave without telling me...
I'll need to whack him in the back of the
head with a sutu, or I won't feel right.
There's no sign it was used.
He went into town and didn't come back?
I have a bad feeling.
But it'll be very hard to
find him in that huge town.
What do I do?
If I play a deer flute on a deer path,
he might think a deer is
here and come to hunt it.
Hey, big guy.
Oh, you?
Anything strange happen lately?
Oh, right.
A girl who works at a place
a friend of mine owns
was badly hurt by a customer.
How is that strange?
Well, that customer had weird tattoos...
I'll bring the girl here now.
Have this herring soba, and wait.
Our soba is delicious, too!
Let's eat.
The broth is thick.
I was born in Kanto,
so this is the way I like it.
And the sweetness of the herring
as it melts in your mouth...
Just like she said, it's delicious.
This is hinna.
Which man was it that's
asking about the tattoos?
The one in the army cap.
Don't move!
On your knees.
If I shoot you like this, the bullet might
hit someone as it comes out of your face.
Get back.
Let's kill him.
Enough.
Don't kill him yet.
I am your Grim Reaper.
I can blow out the candle
of your life at any time.
I was just hired by a regular
of the whore who got hurt.
Find a guy with weird tattoos
and make him pay, he said.
I tried to ask about the guy, and suddenly
I'm surrounded by armed men with guns.
Of course I'm going to run, right?
No good, huh...
I need to find a way out of here.
Do you like sweets?
These are kushi dango,
from Hanazono Park in Otaru.
It's good.
It's been so long since
I've had anything sweet
that my saliva glands feel
like they're about to burst.
Immortal, Immortal...
One of my men was found
half-dead by the riverside.
He wrote something with his fingers.
Thanks for the meal.
Is the exit over there?
You're the one who did that
to Private Ogata, right?
Immortal Sugimoto...
Sit.
You guys look alike.
Which of you hit me with the gun?
You should put a mark somewhere,
on the forehead or some other
place where it'll stand out.
I'll kill you.
You've got the wrong guy.
My name isn't Sugimoto.
I saw Immortal Sugimoto
just once, at Port Arthur.
I was far away,
but I was in awe of the way
he fought like a demon...
It was you who I saw.
When I saw the way you fought
at the soba house, I was sure.
I was in the 2nd.
I wasn't at Port Arthur.
Looks like you really do have the wrong guy.
Why did Private Ogata
attack Immortal Sugimoto?
It's because you had one of the tattoos
that show where the gold is.
And you tried to flee from us because
you were afraid we'd figure that out.
You have one of the tattooed skins, right?
Where'd you hide it?
Gold?
Tattoos?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Hey, is your boss all right in the head?
A shell blew away a bit of my brain.
You're an impressive man.
You didn't blink once.
You really are Immortal Sugimoto.
But if you're immortal, and I can't
blow out the candle of your life...
I'll just chew the candle from the top down!
This is one of Sugimoto's socks.
He forgot it.
Retar, you stand out,
so let's wait for nightfall.
There's only one way to survive this.
Work for me.
I lost many men on the battlefield.
I need more of them.
I only have a little under a hundred
men searching across all of Hokkaido.
That's too many people to
split the gold with, isn't it?
The gold will be our war chest.
The weapons and ammo we stole from
Asahikawa aren't going to last forever.
What are you planning to do?
Buy weapons from an American.
The latest weapons, gathered from
all over the world.
We'll start by taking over the 7th.
Then we'll take over the major ports that
control the flow of goods to the mainland.
Hokkaido will be ours.
We were heroes on the battlefield,
but when we got back home,
we became vagrants.
Did you gain anything from fighting?
Or did you lose far more?
I want a brave soldier like you.
Fight with us.
This is a waste of time.
Maybe I'll bite down on that candle, then.
Is he inside?
Okay, go.
A monster!
Huh?
You're not Sugimoto.
You're...
The Scat King.
Shiraishi Yoshitake, the Escape King!
Wait, are you that Ainu kid from before?
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Don't eat him.
Retar wouldn't mistake a scent.
Where is Sugimoto?
He ain't with me!
I'm alone!
That doesn't make sense.
I followed the smell of his sock...
Why did it lead me here?
Sock?
Was it then...?
That's it!
We put on the wrong socks then!
Disgusting.
What, did Sugimoto betray you?
He ran off with the skins, didn't he?
Shut up.
I see, that explains it.
So the rumor was about Sugimoto.
Rumor?
What rumor?
Yesterday, a man with a big scar on his face
got in a huge fight before he was taken
to the 7th's hideout.
He's probably long dead.
Take me there.
This poison arrow can
kill a bear in ten steps,
but you'll die before you can even take one.
Fine! Fine!
Just don't point that thing at me!
Scary kid...
Hang on. I'll wash my face to wake myself up.
My bad feeling was right.
Sugimoto is...
What's wrong?
He ran.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Retar can run a full night if he has to.
You can hide under the bottom of
a latrine, and he'll still find you.
Keep running, Escape King.
You'll never escape from a Horkewkamuy.
You alive, kushi dango boy?
Is this really Immortal Sugimoto?
You don't think we got the
wrong guy, do you, Youhei?
His face had swelled up to twice
its size after I hit him so much,
but the swelling's all gone now, Kouhei.
If he's real, I bet we could rip out all
his guts, and he'd be healed by tomorrow.
If we kill him, we won't be able to find
out where the tattoos are, Youhei.
Let's stop wasting time and just chop
off fingers until he spits it out.
You're the one who hit me in
front of the soba place, right?
What?
I'll put a mark on you,
so people can tell you apart.
Shut your mouth, asshole.
I'm Immortal Sugimoto!
Next time "Race"
river fish called a rawomap.
Look at them all!
