Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - Catching Up to the Wolf - full transcript

Got it!

The Nivkh put seal fat on everything.

It's like soy sauce is to the Japanese.

It's an important food source
at this time of year.

A reindeer.

Did it come from the other side?

It may have fled from the continent
'cause something was chasing it, too.

(Golden Kamuy)

Ako Prison

(Episode Thirty-Four)
(Catching Up to the Wolf)

Use a bit of dirty snow to hide the holes.



Don't put in too much,

or we won't be able to get
the explosives in later.

Just like we thought.

The lighthouse was empty.

We got our explosives.

The front is heavily guarded, so we'll go

around to the rear, the one
facing the Strait of Tartary.

We'll destroy these four spots at once.

And that's the signal to Sofia
and her friends to flee.

Yup.

I told her to do it tomorrow at sunrise.

We're ready.

It's time, Asirpa.

When you meet her,
you'll remember something, I'm sure.



I can't wait for that to happen.

What's wrong, Shiraishi?

Why didn't it blow?

I set it up, but it didn't explode!

Neither did mine!

Shit!

I guess it wasn't stored properly!

Something exploded.

That's Ako Prison.

Don't go outside!

Nobody move!

Khorosho!

Where's the hole?

This wasn't the deal!

There!

This way, everyone!

That's strange.

Nobody's coming out.

What the hell is a tiger doing here?

That's not the right yulbars!

Yulbars means "tiger" in the Tatar language.

The Siberian Tiger is the
largest of all tigers,

attacking and eating even
bears and crocodiles.

Sometimes it will cross the strait following
prey, going far outside of its territory!

Do something about this tiger!
We can't escape!

We'll draw it away! Leave by that hole!

Who do you think I am? No good
leader leaves before her men.

That's our Sofia!

Shoot! Now!

Don't.

The Nanai say that tigers are gods,
and killing them is bad luck.

Okay!

Another hole in the wall!

Hurry, everyone!

That outfit...

A Karafuto Ainu?

Karafuto Ainu? No.

Wilk showed me...

He wore tetarape when he young.

Those eyes.

Wilk's eyes.

Are you Sofia?

Asirpa...

This wasn't what I imagined.

Sofia!

You've grown into a lovely woman!

Yulbars!

What you did to Wilk...

Let's go!

This way!

There!

Wait, those are Nivkh fishermen!

I only see Nivkh.
Follow the ones who went to town!

It worked!

Nobody's following us.

We were right to set the
time of the escape for dawn,

when there are lots of fishermen out.

I want you to tell me about my father.

Tell me things only you know.

She wants to know about Wilk.

He was pure and beautiful.

I grew up in a fancy house,
wearing expensive clothes.

I was a rich girl who only knew the cities.

I met them as part of the
revolutionary movement.

They taught me of many things I didn't know.

Salt-preserved lingonberries...

Karafuto Ainu dog sleds...

Hohchiri, tied to the bangs...

The bone fortunetelling of the Uilta...

The clothes of the Nivkh,
made from seal and fish skins...

The lives of the ethnic minorities
who lived in the Far East...

Our unique languages...

The gods we believe in...

If we don't fight to protect them,
they'll all disappear.

The new generation of children will
forget their language and their gods.

Why did the natives of the
Americas lose to the white man?

Because all the tribes were
at war with one another.

I'm told that in Japan's Hokkaido,

there are a people with traditions
very similar to the Karafuto Ainu.

Each of them are small in number,
but if we all cooperate...

Cooperate?

We need to make a federation
of far eastern states,

including Karafuto and Hokkaido.

That's a big deal.

Kiroranke blew the wall and
let the prisoners escape.

We were a little late, but they're close.

Well, Ryuu?

That way?

Did you find the scent?

Don't tell me they ran across the ice floes.

If Ryuu says it's the way, I believe it.

What's wrong, you two?

A tiger?!

One of those gunshots was long,

like you'd hear from a gun
that used old black gunpowder.

No, it can't be.

(Golden Kamuy)

Shiraishi, where are you going?

Go on without me.

I need to piss.

It's hard to get my willie
out with all these layers.

That was close.

It's getting bigger!

The ice floes move around with the current!

Don't fall in the ocean!

What do I do?

I can't get back!

Just head west! We'll meet there!

I don't think I can get there this way.

I'll have better luck heading back!

I'll hurry and catch up, so wait for me!

Be careful, Shiraishi!

If you fall in while
you're alone, you're dead!

Got it? Don't fall! Don't fall!

It's not easy to get over this
rough terrain with a sled!

And the weather's getting bad, too.

It may be dangerous to follow them.

You saw that explosion!

They're close!

Ryuu's going crazy, too!

We can find them if we go now!

Wait, Sugimoto!

Look, Asirpa.

Wolves.

Will they come this way?

I doubt it.

Were they the ones after that reindeer?

Wilk liked wolves.

He said they were pure and beautiful.

Wolves are beautiful.

They lead strong lives, with nothing wasted.

That's what makes them beautiful.

Beauty and strength are the same.

Here's a story about Wilk for you...

One night, we were being chased by the
secret police, and fled into the forest.

One of us was badly wounded
and couldn't move at all.

He passed out,

and stopped us from moving.

When our pursuers were getting close and
his moans threatened to alert them...

He wasn't going to survive either way,

and we ended up barely being missed.

If it had been me,

I would've hesitated and fretted before
finally reaching the same conclusion, maybe.

But Wilk was someone who could reach that
answer in the minimum distance needed.

I trusted him from the bottom of my heart.

And loved him.

We're shooting the baby bear, too?

We can't take it to the kotan?

It's too big to raise.

Do you think it's cruel, Asirpa?

That parent and child will
become blood and meat,

and sustain our lives.

Even a baby bear is a
precious source of food.

If we hesitate because it's cruel, we starve.

Pity and kindness that is
wrong can become weakness.

The weak lose, and are eaten.

Do you know where Wilk's name came from?

Where his name came from?

No, I don't.

Do you know, Asirpa?

I think he told me one time.

What was it?

There was one big thing that
happened that made him who he was.

Before his name was Wilk,

he found a weakened wolf near the kotan.

He came to see it every day.

And eventually, it began to howl.

And howls answered it.

Wilk understood that he wanted
to go back to his pack,

and had become a lone wolf because
he had an illness or some other defect.

The pack came for him.

But the pack killed him.

They decided there was no
room for him in the pack.

If a single wolf slows them down,
it's a threat to the whole pack.

Wolves are logical and rational.

Any extra kindness in them has been
scraped away to ensure they survive.

A functional beauty, with nothing wasted.

That's what he felt in
the way the wolves lived.

He wanted to be a creature like that.

So he stripped the corpse of its
pelt and ran around wearing it.

His Polish father looked at him,

and decided his name then.

"Wilk."

Wilk means "wolf" in Polish.

Tell me about Mommy.

Again?

She was a beautiful woman, just like you.

We met in Otaru.

She taught me all the things I didn't know.

The language of the Hokkaido Ainu,
and their beliefs.

Never forget what I'm about to tell you.

I once told your mom how
I got the name Wilk...

And then she gave me a name in Ainu.

Horkew Oskoni.

Horkew Oskoni?

It means "catching up to the wolf."

Because I wanted to be a wolf.

The only ones who know this name are myself,
and your mother, who gave it to me.

You mustn't tell it to anyone.

Hey, Sugimoto.

How do you read this?

"U."

Like in "ukai," to go around.

Shit! Shit!

Dick talisman... protect me!

Behold the power of dick.

No way!

Hey, Shiraishi Yoshitake.

We meet again.

Next time "Sin and Impurity"
