Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Let's Talk About the Past - full transcript

Hijikata, who is now temporarily allied with Sugimoto, stays behind in Yuubari to try and find clues to the fake skins. Edogai's workshop is surrounded by members of the 7th division, and they're forced to fight their way out.

A corpse wearing a military uniform?

Ain't heard anything about it.

Is he alive?

Whether he is or not,

we can't leave Yuubari until we know
if Sergeant Tsukishima is alive or not.

There must be some clue left here.

There should be some connection between the

leftover skins used for
the taxidermy process,

and the fake tattooed skins.

They got it.

Ienaga, don't go outside!



They'll shoot you!

I caught a glimpse of a
soldier's uniform out there.

I think there's more than one.

They're here to destroy the
evidence of the fake skins?

There may be kibushi berries still
left in Edogai-kun's house.

They're what you use to do tannin tanning.

We need to get rid of them all.

(Golden Kamuy)

(Episode Fifteen)
(Let's Talk About the Past)

From the look of it, there are
two or three people inside.

If Sergeant Tsukishima's report is
right and Sugimoto Saichi is in there,

don't kill him!

He's mine!

If Lt. Tsurumi's men are here,



I guess we should assume Sergeant Tsukishima
made it out of the tunnels alive.

Yeah.

There's iron bars on the windows.

If the soldiers outside want to get in,

they'll have to come in the front door.

I'll make sure they decide to do that.

He's above us!

Get under the awning!

We're going in!

Let's bust down the door-

Get away from the door!

Don't leave the awning! He'll shoot you!

There are quite a few of them.

Go! Go!

The second floor! Take out the
sniper on the second floor!

Damn you!

I can't get out...

Ushiyama-sama!

Move, Ienaga.

Die! Die, you stupid shit!

What, do you want a "thank you"?

I didn't save you because
I wanted to, bat man.

Where's Hijikata?!

Hijikata!

Sugimoto Saichi!

Stay hidden!

Poke a finger out from behind
that corner, and he'll shoot it!

This is our only chance at escape.

Hurry.

Let's go, old man!

Let's split into two groups and flee.

We'll meet up at Ashibetsu.

I'll look for Ienaga and Nagakura's group.

With no way to tell which skins are fake,

we'll have to meet Nopperabo directly.

He'll probably be willing to
tell his daughter everything.

I should've assumed you knew
that she was his daughter.

For my part, as long as I get a small share,

I don't care who does what with the gold.

But Asirpa-san is a true Ainu.

Is the person who stole their
gold really her father?

I want to see her find the truth.

So for now, we can assume
we share the same goal?

We'll both do whatever we feel like.

The Next Day

We should be careful. Try to run
into as few people as possible.

They'll be looking for locals
who saw us to track us.

Look, Sugimoto.

Those are tureptacir.

Woodcock birds.

When it's herb-gathering season,

that's when the woodcocks come to this place.

They're digging holes.

Are they looking for bugs?

Their long beaks,
which they use to find food,

are similar to the tools the Ainu
use to dig up ubayuri roots.

So we call them "ubayuri-digging birds."

Are they tasty?

The brains are tasty!

Hey, Ogata. No.

Why?

We're eating them, right?

Even if you hit one, the others will flee.

Woodcocks don't fly in a straight line,
so it'll be hard to hit one with that gun.

We have a trap that takes advantage
of the woodcocks' habits.

You make a path with branches that
the woodcocks will want to follow,

and fill it up with traps.

If we use traps, we can
get enough for everybody.

The traps worked!

But that's probably not enough for everybody.

Help me pluck the feathers, Sugimoto.

She's upset because she set so
many traps and only caught two.

Three of them?

I wondered where you went.

I'm impressed you managed to
get so many without buckshot.

Wow, he's annoying.

He got mad because Asirpa-san
said he couldn't do it.

And you're jealous 'cause you
can't hit shit with a gun!

I am not!

Dick-sensei, this is woodcock brain.

Dick-sensei... do you not like brains?

Is that edible?

Sugimoto...

It's hinna, right?

Hinna, hinna!

No, I'm fine.

Now you use all the rest of it,
including the organs, to make chitatap!

Chitatap! Hell yes!

Chitatap?

Smack it while saying "chitatap," Dick-sensei.

Chitatap? Chitatap...?

Chitatap. Chitatap. Chitatap.

Take over for him, Ogata.

Everybody has to help make the chitatap.

Asirpa-san, Ogata isn't saying "chitatap"!

Ogata? What's wrong?

Now, let's eat!

This is ohau made from woodcock chitatap!

Let's eat!

It's so good!

Hinna, hinna!

Yum.

Hinna!

(Golden Kamuy)

(Barato)

You there.

Why are you pretending to be an Ainu?

You're Japanese, right?

(Yamamoto Barbershop)
An Ainu child with three men...

I haven't seen anything like that.

Wait, that's not the kid
you're talking about?

Hey, Boner. Don't run.

Don't call me "Boner," Tanigaki Nispa!

My name is Cikapasi!

I could tell you were following
us from a distance.

I ignored you on the theory
that you'd give up eventually.

Get back to your kotan.

Everybody there must be worried.

My family is dead.

Nobody is waiting for me back at the kotan.

Take me with you.

Why not take him?

The Sirakki Kamuy says it's
good luck to take him.

If the three of us pretend to be a family,

nobody will be suspicious of us.

Really?

We're pretending to be a family?

Th-Then Inkarmat is my big sister.

But we have different mothers.

You love your little brother and
don't get mad if I grab your boobs,

and we're looking for our dad,
whom we've never met, together!

I like that. It sounds fun.

And you're my dad's
little brother, Tanigaki Nispa,

and Inkarmat likes you,

but you're hiding the fact that
you're really her brother.

Cikapasi, that's too complicated.

Let's make it simpler.

Yeah?

Okay, so Inkarmat is my big sister,

and she doesn't get mad atall if I grab her breasts.

And you're the guy who lives next door,
and you have giant testicles!

Cikapasi, that means
we're not related at all.

Is he still in Abashiri?

Yes.

"He"?

Inudou Shirosuke,
the Warden of Abashiri Prison.

He and I had quite a history
at Kabato Prison, too.

Speaking of Kabato...

I thought my heart would stop then.

(Tsukigata Kabato Prison)

See you next year, sensei.

Have a nice year.

Gamushin...

Impossible! Is that you, Hijikata-san?

Inudou-san, you're a terrible man.

I've spent twenty years here
as a swordsmanship instructor.

Why did you never tell me?

(Tsukigata Kabato Prison Warden)
(Inudou Shirosuke)

I heard you parted ways
before the Hakodate War.

I have no responsibility to give unrelated
persons information about prisoners.

(Long and arduous journey)

You lost your brother in the Hakodate War.
He fought on the new government's side.

You may hate him because of that,
but why hide him from the government?

Or keep him hidden until now,
instead of executing him?

Did you decide that the worst
punishment for Hijikata Toshizou

was to steal everything from him,

and keep him alive in a life without meaning?

I'm waiting for his light to go out.

When the light in his eyes goes out,

I'll hang him.

Let me see him.

You need to leave.

You're being transferred to
Abashiri at the start of the year.

I'll come back then.

Hijikata will be taken to Abashiri.

You're a monster of a warden.

But a monster obsessed
with rules is one thing.

You're a monster obsessed with revenge.

If you don't let me see him now,
I'll split your head open!

S-Sensei!

Get that old geezer out of here!

Toss him out the gates!

Let me go, you damn bureaucrats!

Calm yourself, sensei.

Come with me.

He's in solitary over there.

I can give you 10 minutes
or so to talk to him.

I owe you one, chief guard.

It's nothing... I'm a swordsman, too.

Is that you, Gamushin?

I never thought I'd hear
that name again at my age.

It was the fourth year of the Keiou
era when last we met, correct?

I gave up on the Shinsengumi then.

But Hijikata-san,

even if I had my disagreements
with Kondou-san,

I did everything I did for the
Shinsengumi because of you.

What's gotten into you, Nagakura Shinpachi?

Age has softened you, I see.

If you hadn't protected me from Kondou-san,

I would've been forced to
commit seppuku so many times.

You liked the ladies a little too much.

You're the one who taught me that bad habit!

We both did a lot of stupid things.

We loved fighting with swords, wandering,
and women more than anyone else.

We were a lot alike.

Your nickname was "Baragaki,"
"a kid as violent as a thorn."

What a stupid name.

It's a cooler name than "Gamushin,"
or "reckless Shinpachi."

You were stupid and ill-tempered,

but when you swung your sword,
it was a thing of beauty.

And beautiful things should be left alive.

When we had that last fight
before we parted ways,

was that you trying to keep me
from following you to your death?

I've spent many nights asking myself that.

If that was the last thing
all of you did for me...

Am I wrong, Hijikata-san?

You are. I just didn't like
you because you were an idiot.

Hey, Asirpa-san, are you sure we
didn't see Hijikata somewhere?

I'm sure I've seen that face before.

Oh, it's just an Ogata.

(Ashibetsu)

Going to Yuubari gave us important information.
There are fake tattoos out there.

That was a big miscalculation
on Lt. Tsurumi's part.

He probably didn't expect
us to find out so soon.

I'm sorry...

(Otaru)
They escaped.

It's fine. It doesn't matter if
they know the fakes exist or not.

I only wanted one thing. Chaos.

As long as we can get the
real ones little by little,

that's all we need.

Don't you think it'll be fun to watch them
run around helplessly, Lt. Tsukishima?

Yes, sir.

Without a way to tell which ones are fakes,

gathering the skins won't
help us crack the code.

There may be no way to tell at all.

That would be a real shame.

We'll have to rely on this man.

Me?

I never thought this useless
idiot would be our last hope.

The fastest way forward is to talk to
Nopperabo in Abashiri Prison directly.

Escape King, it's up to you to get us in.

I gotta piss!

Shiraishi...

Sugimoto, you're here!

How'd you find us?

Forget that. We need to talk.

Come with me.

Where's everybody else?

I remembered.

Remembered what?

After Henmi Kazuo died, we met a
weird guy at the longhouse, remember?

That was Hijikata Toshizou. I'm sure of it.

So you were working with him then?

You were passing him information
about us the whole time?

N-No! I was drunk at the longhouse...

You're still going to lie to me?

If you had told the truth,
I would've forgiven you!

Sugimoto!

Don't-

Oh, no...

What do I do?

I'm scared shitless now!

The gold won't matter if he kills me first!

You... You're Shiraishi, right?
